Fl on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works as promised. Easy to install. No fuss no muss. Sound quality is if it is not even there and original equipment is at optimum. Very happy with purchase. Pros: Works flawlessly Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Niles SS-6 Written By MikeS, Chicago, IL on Sunday, January 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently moved into a home with a whole-house audio system installed. This switch was exactly what we needed. I have five zones (this has six) so it couldn't have been more tailored for my needs. (I've noticed Niles has other models available, so there should be something for just about any in-home system). I especially like the protection feature...this is engaged when you're pushing output to three or more zones, to avoid frying the amp. (Not needed when using only one or two zones, but I leave it on anyway). If you read the other reviews you'll notice a lot of comments about the speaker connections being difficult to open/close. This wasn't a big negative for me, but when I was setting it up I could easily see why those comments were made. Opening and closing them IS a bit hard on the fingertips, but I figured you only set it up once in a great while so not a big deal. Overall very solid product--good sound, reasonably simle setup, attractive case, and the preprinted labels for the output zones are a nice touch (beats having to hand write all those). Would definitely recommend this as a low-cost way to feed your whole house audio system. Pros: Price, amp protection logic, appearance Cons: Balky speaker connections 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Niles SS-6 Written By Jim, New York on Monday, March 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using it in a whole house application. Does the job well for what I'm using it for. The connections for the individual speaker wires are difficult to close. Once connected it's fine but initial set up is for folks with tiny fingers. Pros: Does the job. Cons: Wire connections are difficult to lock. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Works great - speaker connections could be a little easier Written By efd, NJ on Monday, January 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently moved into a home that has ceiling-mounted speakers throughout, with volume controls in the various rooms/zones. This was my first experience with a multiple-zone speaker system, and my receiver didn't have built-in multi-zone support, so I purchased this unit to control the five zones. I opted for the Niles SS-6 over some less expensive units primarily for aesthetic reasons, and this controller does look great. It also works perfectly in controlling the audio to the different zones, as you'd expect. My one complaint -- and I would have taken off just a half-star for this, if that were an option -- is that I found the speaker connections on the back of the unit to be extremely difficult to open and close. It always felt like I was going to force them to a breaking point, although none of them broke. By the time I was done making the 20 connections (10 speakers, right and left for each) my hands and fingers were pretty sore. I also tried using a screwdriver to flip up the connectors but even that seemed more difficult than it should have. Obviously once the speakers are connected you don't have to go through that again, so it's not a huge issue overall but something to be prepared for. Pros: Easy operation, controls speakers, looks good, included zone-name stickers are helpful. Cons: Stiff speaker connectors. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Niles SS-6 Written By Mike, Los Angeles, CA on Thursday, March 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Niles SS-6 worked perfectly for my needs. It's very easy to hook up. It connected my speakers in several different rooms (which can be played separately or simultaneously). A great solution for my system since I didn't want to add a separate powered amplifier (someone in a store tried to convince me I needed an expensive one). I don't have a super high-end receiver, but the sound is still great. This model is good if you have volume controls in each room (otherwise, get the model with volume controls on the unit itself). The customer service rep from Crutchfield was very helpful in selecting this. Great price, delivery, and service. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Works Great! Written By Joseph, Scranton, PA on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 The Niles SS-6 works as advertised. I was able to safely and easily hook up 5 pairs of in-ceiling speakers throughout the downstairs of my house (I'm saving the 6th speaker hook up for outside on the deck this Spring!). It's great to have the option of turning speakers on/off in each room without having to worry about overloading my amplifier. One last thing, since this is Crutchfield, a customer representative was able to look up the specs on my older receiver to ensure compatibility and give me the recommended setup within minutes. Crutchfield is top-notch when it comes to service. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Hanging Five
Hanging Five is a film that follows five artists who all happen to be surfers. The film documents their work and looks at different aspects of their lives and how those experiences have impacted their work. The film also looks at why the surf culture embraces and supports the arts.
Someone said that if Dr. Seuss surfed, he'd be like Andy Davis. He's been drawing, doodling, and painting from a young age. His art captures the thrill and essence of the surfing experience. A very genuine and kind soul.
Born in Ecuador, Wolfgang Bloch's family has instilled in him an appreciation and respect for the arts from a young age. With much of his work consisting of found objects, his paintings are hauntingly beautiful. A graduate from ArtCenter College of Design, Wolfgang worked as a designer for various companies before plunging into the fine art world.
Alex Knost is a true renaissance man with his art encompassing painting, photography, filmmaking and music. Not only is he one of the most famous longboarders in the world, he's also the front man for his band-The Japanese Motors. They recently finished touring with Modest Mouse.
Tyler 'Pickle' Warren is a young Orange County surfer and is now becoming a well-known artist, whose work has been exhibited from Japan to Brazil. His work is stylized with deep richness and lighthearted charm with many within the surf community becoming collectors and fans.
Julie Goldstein is from San Diego and her textured pieces blend fabric and acrylic with an artistic flow and spirit to her ocean homage.

Mistress Jharen is an innkeeper in Sienda, a city in Amadicia.
For more details on Jharen, Mistress, visit Encyclopaedia WoT.
How exactly does one become a Darkfriend? How does the recruiting structure for the Black Ajah work? Being Mistress of Novices, was Merean particularly active in recruiting?
By and large, each cell of Darkfriends recruits people it thinks are likely candidates, though they need to do so very carefully, studying them, sounding them out slowly. Darkfriends are always on the lookout for new members, since they feel very much like an oppressed minority and want to increase their numbers. Once a move to recruit is made, though, either it succeeds or the failed candidate dies. For someone seeking actively to become a Darkfriend, generally one begins by trying to attract the attention of those who already are Darkfriends. One fairly safe way is to let comments drop that indicate that you don't think the Light is all it's cracked up to be, that praying to the Creator seems useless etc. If this comes to the wrong ears, you might be in varying degrees of trouble depending on what country you are in and who it is that overhears, but you are unlikely to get worse than a flogging from the authorities and possibly only a stern warning to watch your talk from somebody in a tavern, perhaps accompanied by a clout on the ear. Although someone might decide to slip a knife into you in some rougher areas of some towns. It's only relatively safe. By the by, claiming not to believe in the Creator is a good way to avoid recruitment by the Darkfriends. After all, if there is no Creator, how can the Dark One be imprisoned, and if he isn't, then why hasn't he taken over and rewarded the faithful? One of the fastest ways to attract attention is to show yourself willing to kill to advance yourself or simply for gain. That doesn't mean that every strongarm who's willing to slit a throat to steal a purse is a Darkfriend. Some of those might well be horrified by the suggestion. This method has its drawbacks, of course, since if you attract the attention of the authorities first, you are very likely to end up with a noose around your neck or a trip to the headsman's block. In the White Tower, Black sisters watch novices and Accepted closely for any indication that they might be leaning toward the Shadow or susceptible to the promises of the Shadow. They also watch other sisters, since people do change. Not every Black sister was recruited on the day she gained the shawl nor soon after. Merean had a fine position for watching novices and Accepted, but many sisters teach. Some do little else, but others take turns at it for various periods, so Merean was not necessarily the primary recruiter during her time as Mistress of Novices, not even among those in her charge.

I think that is true, unless it was in April, because nothing outside April is over 180mph.Originally Posted by treant985
The 231 was recorded with a modified 3-cup, not a pitot. Well, it worked on the same principal as a 3-cup.

Do you know off-hand of any articles or studies that were done about the 231mph gust? I found some stuff in the June 1934 Monthly Weather Review, but I'm hoping for something a little more recent.Originally Posted by Bill O
I'm sure a bunch of people questioned such a high reading during a minor storm, so it seems like there'd be several articles done where the author tried to verify/refute the reading.
The Grandfather Mtn anemometer only being able to go to 224mph reminds me of a similar circumstance in Alaska. Everyone there claims they'll never be able to officially break the North American low temp record (-81.4 in Snag, Canada) because the NWS minimum thermometers only go to -80. Of course, they could mark the glass if the mercury drops lower, but it'd be an ordeal to get the thermometer tested later, for accuracy.
I don't know any, but I'm sure they are out there.
I did stumble onto this information on MWO's site:
Wind Record
It's good to know that there is a National Extremes Committee, and that they agree that Mount Washington's 231mph is the record. I have a feeling there is a World Extremes Committee as well, and they also agree.
It doesn't detract from your point, but as I understand it, mercury is never used in thermometers for readings that low. Alcohol is typically found in low thermometers, but I wonder if the ones in question are digital, not using any liquid at all.Originally Posted by treant985
Thanks for correcting my post. I'm usually the one who tells people that they use alcohol in the minimum thermometers, instead of mercury. I think that, as long as it's deemed an accurate device, observers can use whatever kind of thermometer they want.Originally Posted by Mike D
I've read that the observer in Embarrass, MN, used a digital one until it broke at -64F on the coldest day anyone had recorded in MN. It cost him the state all-time low record (to nearby Tower, which got to -60), even though he had labs verify the -64 reading. He switched to alcohol minimum thermometers after that.
It's been a while since there were temps in AK down to -75 or lower (Jan 1989 I believe), so I bet that all those were done with alcohol thermometers, but it would be interesting to see how many places use digital ones now.
Here's a little background info that I came across:Originally Posted by Bill O
I read a report by the Army Corps of Engineers from 1985 that mentions global weather extremes. They say that "in such strong winds, no apparatus can record the airflow except approximately, and actual velocity (of the 231 gust) may be in error by 10 to 40 miles per hour."
However, "a value of 225 MPH, after anemometer calibration, is given in some sources." I guess, after a while, they figured the 231 was close enough to not warrant any corrections.
Interestingly, the Army report says that the 231mph gust had the same force as a 180mph gust at sea level, which may put the 207mph gust at Thule, Greenland (elev. 990ft), as #1 in terms of actual force.
By the way, this Thursday is supposed to be windy up in the NC mountains, so it'll be interesting to see if the new anemometer at Grandfather Mtn is reporting data publically by then. I emailed them to ask if the data currently online is from the new one or the old anemometer, but I've yet to hear back.
Well, that report is flat out wrong. A 231mph gust at 6,288ft would feel stronger at sea-level...no matter how you cut it. The air is denser at sea-level, so at the same speed it exerts more force.Originally Posted by treant985
I'd also hold a serious argument to an error of 10-40mph. Maybe in 1934, maybe with a 3-cup at 200mph, but not with a pitot tube. The claim that no device can measure such high winds accurately is crazy. Did they not have sonic anemometers back then? What about wind tunnels? The produce wind over 150mph in those, and I bet they measure it accurately within 1-2%.
How about the space shuttle? I'm guessing their pitot tube used for landing measures airspeed using decimal places.
Yea, since the report is over 20 years old, it doesn't factor in any newer wind-sensing instruments. Just think of how much technology in general has advanced in the past 20 years. I think part of the 'discrepancy' between measuring wind speeds has to do with the fact that devices in wind tunnels are probably much better at measuring a constant stream of air, compared with anemometers that have to adjust quickly to rapidly-changing gusts. If the wind kept up at 231mph for maybe half a minute (in the 1930s) or a full second or two (nowadays) then it would obviously be a lot more reliable reading compared to just a quick burst that registered 231mph.Originally Posted by Bill O
I think you've got the right idea about the wind force but may have just incorrectly read my post. I meant that the 231mph gust at 6288 feet is equivalent in force to a 180mph gust at sea level, so you're right that 231mph at sea level would feel much stronger than it would at MWO.
The 10-40 mph 'error' was only in reference to the device used to measure 231mph in the 1930s, not the standard error one can expect in any attempted measurement of winds that strong.
I just read another forecast for the NC mountains that say that the winds this Thursday and Friday could be the strongest yet this winter. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean the strongest gusts, but I'll keep an eye on the Grandfather Mtn (and Mt. Mitchell, too) online live weather stations to see if any register a triple-digit gust.
Sorry, I did read that wrong. 231mph at 6,288 would feel like 180mph at sea level. Sorry about that. But if you are looking at how fast the air particles are moving over the summit, 231mph is always 231mph.
The beauty of the pitot is that it continuously measures the wind. It doesn't sample once every 5 seconds or .1 seconds, it is continuous. Save for some compression of the air in the tube.
Now, the 1934 device and many other types of anemometers have momentum. They can't physically capture a one second gust. The tend to dampen out the gusts.

It's nice to go back to Wasdale Head and have their delicious local ales they made in-house usually named after the mountains nearby.
It's even nicer when you rode all the way on an old bicycle after several hours worth of riding, the pints taste somehow lovelier.
I don't want to stop riding.

Peas are all the rage when it comes to talking about the country's fiscal woes.
You might remember that in July of 2011, when fighting over the debt ceiling, president Obama- right before he left for his 17th vacation at Martha's Vineyard that year- complained about congressional inaction by saying that's it time for the country "to eat its peas."
From CBSNews:
"I've been hearing from my Republican friends for some time it is a moral imperative to tackle our debt and deficits in a serious way," Mr. Obama said. "What I've said to them is, let's go."

You might know Rami Jaffee from starting the Wallflowers 20 years ago, taking them to multi-platinum and Grammy success, or these days playing with the Foo Fighters for the last five years. His session work has also garnered sales in the tens of millions and Grammy success with the likes of everyone from Johnny Cash to Macy Gray.
These days he's also producing records out of his own studio, Fonogenic Studios, in Van Nuys, California. Rami is in high demand for his keyboard playing all over the music industry.
"Seagate has got my back. I record so much stuff and need to have duplicates of the primary. I'm talking terabytes of files that I catalog. With this quantity of high definition recordings, I cannot simply trust my work to just any hard drive."— Rami
"There is a level of performance and quality that Seagate meets, which can't be said for a lot of the brands that are out there," said Ramy, Grammy-winning keyboardist and co-owner of Fonogenic Studios. "Nowadays, my boys and I don't record to anything but Seagate. I really can't express enough how much my craft is dependent on this technology."

When Betfair Hollywood Park opens the doors Thursday for its 75th anniversary season, a slew of familiar faces from top management to numerous other departments will be manning their posts.
Vice president and general manager Eual G. Wyatt, Jr. probably has the longest ties to the Inglewood track. Wyatt, Jr.'s father, Eual G. Wyatt, Sr., was the leading trainer at the inaugural Hollywood Park meeting in 1938. Wyatt, Jr. began the first of two stints as Racing Secretary in 1979 and was promoted to his current position in 1994.
When patrons enter the track, generally the first thing they pick up is a program. The multiple page racing guide lists the runners in each race and is a collaboration between Director of Programs Craig Peterson (hired in 1991), who assembles the information, and Randy Pawling, who has printed the program since 1976.
Head upstairs to the Turf Club and you will be greeted by the smiling face of Maitre d' Lawrence Abbott, who has spent 34 of his 75 years seating customers with a joke at the ready.
Finding the horses that fit each race is the job of the racing office, which certainly is not lacking for experience.
Vice president of racing and racing secretary Martin Panza, responsible for setting the conditions under which each race is run, was named to his present position 19 years ago when Wyatt was promoted. Dick Wheeler, assistant racing secretary, is the longest tenured employee in the department with 43 years under his belt. Dan Eidson, who came up as an assistant trainer to Ed Gregson before going out on his own in 1986, joined the racing office 13 years ago and presently holds the position of assistant racing secretary and stakes coordinator.
Watching the races from Betfair Hollywood Park on television? Caesar Hernandez has been at the controls of the pan camera since 1983. Director of broadcast Roger Roman is beginning his 24th season while Kip Hannan, who as production supervisor has a vast wealth of racing history at his fingertips, has used his skills for a quarter of a century.
Those mentioned above and dozens of others all can be can be excused for waxing nostalgic during the 75th year of the venerable track.
Hoefflin or O'Farrell, Schneider, Et Al's Halo Dolly, assigned high weight of 120 pounds, heads an expected field of seven or eight fillies and mares in the $100,000 Wilshire Handicap. The Grade III at one mile on turf will be run for the 52nd time Sunday.
The ultra-consistent 5-year-old has won half of her 28 starts for Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, with eight of those victories coming on grass. A versatile daughter of Popular, Halo Dolly captured the Fran's Valentine Stakes on the Betfair Hollywood Park grass at this trip during the 2012 Spring/Summer meeting. Rafael Bejarano has the call.
Moonie's My Name (John Sadler) makes her second stateside start after losing a photo to stablemate I Dazzle in the American Beauty Stakes April 7. The English bred, a six-time winner in her native country, will be piloted by Joe Talamo.
Others slated to start are Purim's Dancer (Tom Proctor, Tyler Baze), who tries two turns for the first time, Little Emily (Robert Leonard, Joe Steiner), a winner of three of her last six, Long Face (Patrick Biancone, Julien Leparoux), who drops out of a pair of Grade 2 races, and Plaza de Indias (Angel Rodriguez), in the money four of five starts on the Betfair Hollywood Park grass.
Dan Ward, Hollendorfer's assistant trainer, said Irish-bred Esentepe is on the fence.
The popular Show Me The Money contest will return Sunday, May 5th at Betfair Hollywood Park. Winner-take-all-prize for the on-line contest is $2,500.
Contestants choose a single horse from one of six designated races each day.
If the horse finishes first, second or third, players remain in the contest. If the horse is out of the money, contestants are eliminated.
The deadline for enrollment is 12:45 p.m. May 5. Post time for that day is 1 p.m. Daily selections must be made 10 minutes before the first race.
For more information and complete contest rules, visit www.betfairhollywoodpark.com.
Rail Trip, winner of the 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup and most recently second in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, worked a half-mile Tuesday in 48 seconds on Cushion Track for Ron Ellis. The trainer also sent out Grade II Marjorie L. Everett Handicap winner Include Me Out, who earned the same time Monday.
Fast Bullet and Bank the Eight, both from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert and both impressive winners during the 2012 Autumn meet at Betfair Hollywood Park, drilled five furlongs Monday at Santa Anita. Fast Bullet was clocked in 1:00 1/5 while Bank the Eight was timed in 1:00 3/5. Also working for Baffert was 2011 CashCall Futurity winner Liaison (five furlongs in 1:00 4/5).
Comma to the Top, victorious in the 2010 CashCall Futurity, worked a half-mile in :47 3/5 on Cushion Track April 20 for trainer Peter Miller.
Hall of Famer Bob Baffert and the red-hot Rafael Bejarano, leading trainer and rider, respectively, at the 2012 Betfair Hollywood Park Spring/Summer meeting, are poised to defend their titles.
Baffert, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009, has racked up 27 training crowns since switching from Quarter Horses to Thoroughbreds in 1991. He's captured the Kentucky Derby three times and currently is campaigning leading Horse of the Year candidate Game On Dude, winner of last year's Hollywood Gold Cup. Baffert is strongly considering Game On Dude for another run at the Gold Cup.
Primary threats to Baffert's dominance are Jerry Hollendorfer, another Hall of Famer who has piled up more than 6,100 lifetime victories, and John Sadler, who has a very deep stable. Add to the mix Doug O'Neill, who will try for his second straight Kentucky Derby win with Goldencents May 4 at Churchill Downs, California favorite Mike Mitchell and Ron Ellis, who is seven shy of 1,000 career wins.
Bejarano, runaway top jockey at the recently concluded Santa Anita meeting, is currently the top dog in California. The 30-year-old Peruvian native has been leading rider numerous times at Betfair Hollywood Park and enters the meeting needing only 18 victories to reach 3,000. Also nearing the 3,000 milestone is veteran Victor Espinoza, who is just nine victories shy of the milestone.
Edwin Maldonado, who surprised many when he held off Bejarano to take the 2012 Betfair Hollywood Park Autumn meeting, won't sneak up on anyone this time. The talented reinsman has been building business quickly over the last year and figures to win more than his share. Other potential top 10 riders are Martin Garcia, Joe Talamo, and a pair of Eclipse Award winners, Julien Leparoux and Garrett Gomez.
Rafael Bejarano will be the special guest of co-hosts Michael Burns and George Ortuzar Saturday for the first Escogiendo Ganadores (Picking Winners) seminar, which begins at 11 a.m. at the Paddock Tote Board. The Spanish language seminar will be held every Saturday during the 49-day Betfair Hollywood Park meeting.
Bejarano, Burns and Ortuzar will discuss the California Gold Rush program, including the afternoon's richest race—the $300,000 Snow Chief Stakes at 1 1-8 miles over Cushion Track.
Bejarano is the defending Spring/Summer riding champion after piling up 74 victories in 2012 and is second to Victor Espinoza with 16 Gold Rush winners.
An hour later (12 noon) at the same location, one of the on-air personalities from Television Games Network (TVG) will host Hollywood Insider.
Hollywood Insider will feature special guests, handicapping tips, insights and other last minute information regarding the afternoon's races, and will be held every Saturday throughout the meeting.
A $150,000 guaranteed Pick Six, which proved very popular when introduced during the 2012 Betfair Hollywood Park Autumn meeting, will be offered again on most Saturday's during the 2013 Spring/Summer session (April 27, May 11, May 25, June 1, June 15, June 22, June 29, July 6 and July 13).
A single winning ticket-purchased either at Betfair Hollywood Park or through Television Games Network (TVG) also picks up a 2013 Toyota Prius, courtesy of Toyota of Orange.
The average pool size was $243,754 for the six times the wager was offered. If the Pick Six pool exceeds $200,000, there will be a $1 Happy Hour with food and drink specials offered at Whittingham's Pub and the Betfair Players' Lounge.
To celebrate Gold Rush Day, the annual showcase for California breds to be run Saturday, May 27th, fans will be able to choose from a variety of free items while supplies last.
The first round of the Spring Handicapping Challenge will take place opening weekend. The contest begins Friday, April 26th. Players can also enter Saturday, (April 27th) or Sunday (April 28th). To be eligible for Round II May 25th, contestants must play one of those three days.
Players selecting the most show horses (first, second or third) in races 3-8 will advance to Round II. Participants picking at least one place horse (first or second) May 25th will qualify for the third and final round June 22nd. Additionally, the player whose mythical $2 place wagers earn the most money in Round II will win a flat screen television.
Final round participants will select horses to win in races 3-8. The top three players whose mythical $2 win bets earn the most money will share $5,000. For complete rules, visit any customer service window or go on-line to www.betfairhollywoodpark.com

U.S. new home starts in December 2013 were just shy of one million units, seasonally adjusted and annualized (SAAR), according to the latest joint press release from the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
At 999,000 units, they were -9.8% versus November 2013, but +1.6% when compared with December 2012. Keep in mind, however, that November of last year recorded the highest volume of starts since early in the Great Recession.
U.S. new home starts have broken the one-million-units barrier only twice in the past five-and-a-half years ‒ March and November of last year at 1.005 and 1.107 million units respectively ‒ dating back to June 2008's 1.046 million units.
For full year 2013, U.S. new home starts on average were 928,000 units (SAAR), an increase of 18.4% over 2012's 783,000 units.
The relationship between single- and multiple-unit starts in 2013 was almost exactly two-thirds versus one-third.
Multiple-unit starts, with a smaller share of the total, increased 24.2% year over year.
The increase in the single-family market was a less aggressive, but still sizable 15.8%.
Among the nation's four major regions, the largest percentage gain was in the West, +24.2%, followed by the Northeast, +20.2%.
The South, +16.3%, and Midwest, +16.0%, recorded smaller gains that were almost identical with each other.
2013's monthly averages for the regions were as follows: the South, 465,100 units (SAAR); West, 217,100; Midwest, 148,800; and Northeast, 96,500.
Expressed as shares of the national total, the South was almost precisely half, at 50.1%; the West nearly one-quarter, at 23.4%; the Midwest, 16.0%; and Northeast, 10.4%.
Residential building permits, a leading indicator for groundbreakings, were 968,000 units (SAAR) in the latest month. This was a bit of a comedown, although not sufficiently large to generate alarm, given that permits in the two prior months exceeded one million units.
There were three months in 2013 when permits clawed their way above one million units ‒ April (1.005); October (1.039); and November (1.017).
In a second separate release from the Census Bureau and HUD, new home sales in December were reported to be 414,000 units (SAAR), a decline of 7.0% versus November, but a gain of 4.5% when compared with the last month of 2012.
For 2013 as a whole, the monthly average of single-family new home sales, at 428,000 units, was +16.4% relative to 2012's 368,000 units.
In circular fashion, improving residential real estate is both an offshoot of a stronger economy and a major source of improving activity levels. It's the second part of the equation that's particularly important for a Canadian economy that is trying to tag along with the American.
Plus, there's the usual pick-up in Canadian export sales of building materials such as lumber.
Better new home demand lifts mortgage activity and generates construction employment.
Improving resale activity lifts employment in several professions (e.g., real estate agents and lawyers) and also provides stimulus to the banking sector.
Job creation and GDP growth help fuel residential real estate activity. The U.S. total employment increase in December 2013 tailed off to only 78,000. In ten of the other 11 months of 2013, the net jobs figure was more than +100,000, with February the highest at +332,000.
At the same time, December's jobs report included an unemployment rate of 6.7% which achieved a significant milestone, dropping below 7.0% for the first time since November 2008.
The lower jobless figure may have been partly due to a "discouraged worker" effect (i.e., people giving up on a job search). Also, the population is aging and some seniors are dropping out of the workforce.
In any event, December's 6.7% jobless level was a 1.2 percentage-point improvement on December 2012's 7.9%.
Weekly U.S. initial jobless claims have settled back into the 320,000 to 330,000 range over the past three weeks. While they'll need to drop closer to 300,000 to yield a monthly net jobs figure of +200,000, they do suggest a return to +100,000 to +150,000.
The latest Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) of the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) was 57.0%, which historically corresponds with "real" (i.e., inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.6%, a strong number.
This is another confirmation of underlying strength in the economy.
Over the past five years, American consumers have been pre-occupied with debt relief.
Mortgages have often played a key role, with their reductions either dictated by circumstances (i.e., foreclosures) or realized through refinancing (with principle reductions).
At the same time, the value of the main asset owned by families has been climbing nicely.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) says the national median (the point at which half are higher and half lower) existing-home selling price for all of 2013 was +11.5% versus 2012.
This was the fastest annual increase since 2005's +12.4%.
In stand-alone December, the year-over-year increase was a little lower at +9.9%.
In the new homes market, the full-year 2013 median price rose 8.4% and the average, 9.8%.
Strictly in December, the median price of new single-family homes rose 4.6%, while the average climbed 4.1%.
In summary, 2013 was a good year for residential construction activity levels and prices, but there were some sniffles at the end that will clear up with some "nursing'.

Wealth planning in a time of uncertainty may feel as solitary as standing on a mountain ridge at sunrise, camera in hand, waiting for ideal conditions to capture that once-in-a-lifetime shot. But there are tools that can help. Just as a landscape photographer relies on a tripod, various filters, and knowledge of aperture and shutter speed, you can navigate the tax planning process by relying on your trusted tax advisor to stay informed on the latest tax law changes, relevant planning opportunities that address your current tax situation, and financial and tax risks that may lie ahead.
The 2014 Essential Tax and Wealth Planning Guide discusses opportunities available through the final few months of 2013, and the planning environment beyond as policymakers continue a tax reform debate that could fundamentally change how individual taxpayers compute their taxes.
The tax-related decisions you make today, and at various points in your career, may have a marked effect on how you save for retirement and how much you will have down the road to support your goals. Many tax decisions you make about retirement are one-time choices that can be very costly to change, so it pays to plan.
Now in its 26th year, the guide features insight into how potential changes could impact your tax and wealth plans with an eye toward the possibility of further increasing rates — particularly for wealthy individuals and their estates. In this publication, we will help you analyze your personal circumstances and identify underlying realities as you plan in the context of today's environment.

The BMC Racing Team lost Steve Cummings and Steve Morabito to injuries Tuesday at the Amgen Tour of California after the pair was caught up in a crash in the final five kilometers of Monday's stage.
Crash 'Happened So Fast'
Three stitches were needed to close a deep cut in Cummings's right knee and he also re-injured his left wrist, the same one broken in a crash six weeks ago. Morabito has severe road rash on his left side, making it impossible to extend his body forward enough to grip the handlebars on his BMC, he said. BMC Racing Team Dr. Eric Heiden said both riders will undergo X-rays later Tuesday to determine if the two have any broken bones. The crash that brought them and several other riders down happened near the end of Stage 2 as all eight riders on the BMC Racing Team were lined up on the right side of the field. "It happened so fast I didn't even have time to brake," Morabito said. "It was a huge road and there were only 60 guys so it was a case of being in the right place at the wrong time."
Cummings' Fractured Season
Cummings has already missed the better part of two months of the season. He broke his pelvis in a crash Feb. 17 at the Volta ao Algarve in Portugal. He returned the following month, but fractured his wrist in a rainy stage of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco in Spain April 6. "I've got experience at this now," Cummings said, smiling. "So if my wrist is broken again, I'll just go on the trainer and it won't take me long to come back." Morabito said it's a big disappointment to withdraw from the race where he finished ninth overall last year and had hopes of helping Tejay van Garderen on the more difficult, climbing stages later this week. "California is always a good race for me," Morabito said. "I really focused a lot on this race and was working hard to be in shape and ready for the last four days."

Though Tony Cruz arrived at the National Criterium Chmapionship as the sole participating member of the BMC Racing Team, he had every intention to race for the win.
The Sunday criterium which covered 100 kilometers turned into a hairy affair as the rain fell and many riders took extreme chances in the hope of winning the race and the bragging rights which go with the Stars and Stripes jersey. Cruz's deep experience and affection for the race proved to be an asset as he was able to avoid all the major pile-ups in the slippery conditions. Taking third place in the race and second place in the competition for the national title, Cruz celebrated the 10th anniversary of the year he first won the National Criterium Championships by proving that he can still hang with the young pups who have subsequently burst onto the racing scene.
Going for the win
"Arranging to come to this race was pretty last minute, but it almost worked out perfectly," Tony Cruz said. "I really wanted to try and win both Saturday and Sunday, but especially Sunday." In the warm up event on Saturday, Cruz had the misfortune to fall victim to one of the many crashes, but on Sunday his experience kept him safe from the multitude of pile-ups. "Sunday's racing was wet, nervous and seemed like there were non-stop crashes," Cruz said. "I just had to be aware of who was around me and make sure I kept on the inside of the dangerous guys so they wouldn't take me down when they slid-out." Cruz delayed his flight to join the team for the Tour of Ireland in order to make the trip to Downers Grove, however this meant that he had to fight for his result without the aid of his other teammates already on their way to Ireland. "It meant that I had to chase a lot of things down on my own since most of the time the teams were letting big gaps form," Cruz said.
Staying alert, taking the podium
"With one turn to go just before the final straightaway, Rashaan Bahati flew out in the corner," Cruz described. "I knew he was going to go down and take seven or eight other guys with him, so I had to start planning on how I was going to pick my way through." In the midst of the carnage, Cruz was able to find an opening which gave him a good line to the finish, being narrowly beaten by Ben Kersten (Fly V Australia) who took the race win, and John Murphy (OUCH p/b Maxxis) who as first American claimed the national title. "I wanted to win the race and the jersey but in the end I missed out on the jersey by half a bike length," Cruz said. Nevertheless, third place without the help of any teammates bodes well for Cruz's chances in the sprint-heavy Tour of Ireland which is set to start at the end of the week. "The race in Ireland is definitely my style of racing with rolling, windy terrain," Cruz confirmed. "I hope it doesn't rain the whole time, but I can definitely handle myself in rain, so whatever the weather throws at us, I'll be ready." Though the race will be curtailed this year to just three days, Cruz sees a tough fight on their hands. "I have always wanted to do this race, so I am very happy to be there," he said. "The first stage should come down to a sprint, and then the sprinter's team that wins will have a job controlling for the overall; it should be good for our team and we're fired up and ready to go."

Full Description
We modified our versatile Cruiser Pack and combined it with a pack basket to help protect your gear. Photographers and ice anglers love this pack, and it makes a sturdy canoe trip food pack. Flap-covered side pockets keep your insulated bottle, extra water, tackle box, or lunch near to hand while the rest of your things stay safe within the crush-resistant main compartment. Features include tough 18-ounce canvas, cotton shoulder straps, double bottom, tumpline and internal map pocket. Stained basket comes with its own shoulder harness for use alone. The #3 is a bigger food pack that can handle enough food for up to six people for a weekend or two people for a week or more. Comes with heavy-duty poly liner. Purchase as pack only or combo with basket. Made in USA.

History of this Product
Known primarily for his fifteen books covering such subjects as canoeing, wilderness camping, and nature, famous Northwood's author Calvin Rutstrum also developed the concept for the ash basket/soft pack combo. This versatile outfit, which we now call the Cruiser Combo, has been popular for years because it not only offers additional protection over other methods but also rides low to avoid catching on branches and shrubs in the heavy woods.
In addition to his writing and important innovations, Cal Rutstrum, along with other notable conservationists such as Sigurd F. Olson, are also heavily credited with successfully campaigning and winning the late 1940's precedent-setting battle to ban all airplane traffic over what is today the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota.

Just did my first BWCA trip with this pack after 40 years of trips with many other packs. I was a little leery of the tumpline, but I used it about half the time, and liked it. Good size and features and great quality. I hope to be using it long enough to leave it to a great grandchild.

- Amazing Pack!
- Rating
I agree with others who say that this pack is just right and the quality is amazing. It is! You just don't see craftsmanship like this anymore and it is a wonderful thing to experience. This has to be one of the best packs out there! Also, the service that I experienced along with ordering this pack was nothing short of amazing as well. Very personal attention and the kindness and care could be felt.

- My #1 canoe pack
- Rating
The #3 Cruiser Combo pack is my #1 canoe pack. For me it is just the right size and includes all the features I need and want for canoe camping. I prefer the box style pack and the side pockets are key. The 18 oz canvas makes for one tough pack . The craftsmanship is unmatched in anything I've seen. I purchased mine about 10 or 15 years ago without the basket and it is as good as new. (I've blown through nylon and vinyl packs in shorter timeframes.)

- wouldn't buy any other
- Rating
I'm still using my dad's #3 that he used for hunting and fishing until he passed on. I believe it must be about 50 years old or better. Still has the original leather shoulder straps and thong. Over the years he brought it back and had a few patches sewed on but it's still in great condition and I use it regularly along with the one he bought me when I was 8. I'm convinced that you can not buy a better pack. It will last a lifetime, literally.

I've been stompin' around the North American wilderness with this pack for about 43 years and it's lookin' like it's going to outlive me. Except for being 'broke in', it's still just like new. Trust me, this #3 has seen a lot of country!

can't say enough good things about this pack I use it in the BWCA elk hunting in Colo. winter camping I have had it for years and it still looks new.

- An alternative kitchen gear & Food pack
- Rating
This was my first Duluth Pack I got to go canoe camping. I really like the heavy duty construction. The outside pockets work nice to carry fuel and stoves keeping them away from the kitchen gear and food we carry inside the pack. This pack always goes along in the BWCA for canoe camping. This Cruiser Combo #3 is big enough for regular camp out backpacking too.

Sons first turkey
My 13 year old son shot his first bird today. Actually a first for the family as the old man hasn't ever shot a turkey lol. We stalked through a thick 120 acre cedar thicket and after about 300 yards and 1 1/2 hours later we heard turkeys talking in the ravine about 100 yards ahead of us. We crawled on our hands and knees to a downed tree branch and waited till they walked out. He shot the lead, a nice jake, at about 25-30 yards. I thought there was 4 or 5 turkeys with him but when the shot rang off about 20 of them went mad. I couldn't believe it as I only saw 3 of them! My friend who owns the land told me 2 years ago him and his dad spotted 175 of them one morning while they were deer hunting. When I was a kid growing up 60 miles from here, a high school buddy of mine had to travel across missouri to turkey hunt with his grandpa. Now 25 years later, SW Iowa and NW Missouri are saturated.

"We had it last year for the first time. It's really a lot of fun, and it was quite a success last year. People not only from our church are big supporters of it, but quite a few people from the community came and they had quite a good time. And it's kind of nice to go to something that's fun but you know it's gonna do some good for people," said Nancy Zerbe, an active member of the Church of the Ascension.
Stonewall Manor will be transformed into a New Orleans-style Mardi-Gras dance club complete with a catered New-Orleans style buffet and music by DJ Nunzio. An auction also will be held.
Some items that will be auctioned off at the party include a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, Tenn.; a gift certificate and basket full of products from a local salon; a custom-made table and benches created by local furniture craftsman Fredrick Knight; guest passes to Tellus Museum and Booth Western Art Museum; artwork; and other miscellaneous items.
"If we could make, gosh, I don't know $5,000, that would be lovely just because we largely rely on donations and grants and things like that to keep the food pantry ministry running," said Tiffany Pindel, a member of the church and chair of Outreach.
With the proceeds from the Mardi-Gras party, the Church of the Ascension Food Pantry should be able to feed the hungry for five and a half weeks.
Each Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m., the Church of the Ascension Food Pantry is able to feed around 75 families. Two bags of non-perishable groceries are given to each family. Groceries in the bags includes a canned protein such as tuna or chicken, baked beans, green beans, Ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese.
The food pantry also is the only pantry in Bartow County that gives out bags of pet food to families that cannot afford to feed their animals.
"If people are having trouble feeding themselves, they're also having trouble feeding their animals, and its hard to lose an animal, it's part of your family," said Pindel.
To keep the pantry well-stocked, the church relies on grants, food donations from members of the church as well as food donations from other churches in the community. They also budget a certain amount of their overall operating expenses to go to the pantry. However, fundraising is their biggest income producer.
"To be such a little church, it's just wonderful that we can continue to do this in such hard times. They say things are getting better but we still have a lot of people that need help in this community," said Zerbe.
Tickets to the event are $40 in advance or $50 at the door and include admission, food and two drink vouchers. You must be 21 to attend. The tickets can be purchased online atwww.mardi-gras13.eventbrite.com or by calling the office at 770-382-2626.

click image to zoomHumaneWatch The next round of billboards is up in New York City, criticizing the Humane Society of the United States and hoping to get people to ask, "where's the funding?"
The HumaneWatch-sponsored billboards first arrived in New York City's Times Square in 2011 and recently also popped up around Washington, D.C. Now one of the billboards is back in New York City, and people from around the country are cheering it on.
Click here to read more from HumaneWatch.
"Thank you for exposing these money-grubbing jerks," one fan wrote on HumaneWatch's Facebook page.
"I love it!!!!! The billboard that is. Thanks for putting them on the spot," another added.
HumaneWatch is a project of the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF). Its message on this and previous billboards is that despite most Americans' belief to the contrary, HSUS is not a national umbrella group that represents community-based humane societies, and it shares less than 1 percent of its income with underfunded pet shelters at the local level.
The billboards use the same tactics as HSUS ads do – use images of puppies and kittens to get the attention of consumers.
"HSUS is an animal rights group that uses heart-wrenching images of dogs and cats to guilt the American public into donating. But it's sharing less than one percent of the proceeds with the hands-on shelters that actually care for these animals," said Rick Berman, CCF's executive director. "HSUS's millions support a huge staff of lawyers and lobbyists, bloated executive pension plans, exorbitant fundraising expenses, and bankroll an animal rights agenda that attacks modern farming."

Taylor Phinney was the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider (25th place) in the bunch sprint that ended Thursday's opening stage of Circuit Franco-Belge.
Hardest Stage Friday
Robbie McEwen (Team RadioShack) won the 178-kilometer race after the last rider of a three-man breakaway was hauled in with six kilometers to go. "No one lost time. That's the most important part," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said. "Tomorrow could be the most difficult stage of the race but the weather is really beautiful, with no wind. For that reason, I think will probably be another sprint." Friday's stage is 154 km and includes six categorized climbs.
