The modern world is brimming over with fitness freaks and health enthusiasts that find the post WW2 industrial norm to be bothersome nuisance. Thankfully, plenty of simple tools exist for people with busy 21st century lives that need fitness on the go. The single easiest tool that makes smoothies quick and simple is the Magic Bullet. If you don't have one, get one. It simply makes a quick, single serve smoothie is a flash, and with extremely simple cleanup, unlike clunky blenders.
Smoothies have been gaining popularity at a healthy rate, and so have the sneaky little tricks to making them more effective.
Here are a few ways to make ordinary smoothies into powerhouse fitness engines.
When to Add Some Chills
All too often people in a rush to get their smoothie on put the ice in first, which tends to end up watering things down a bit. Instead, add the chill last so that you're less likely to over-blend. Furthermore, don't underestimate how much crushed ice can be fit in a smoothie, tons!
Unleash the Organics
As the horrors of the corporate controlled food supply come to light, and people realize they no longer want to be drenched in petro-chemicals, pesticides, hidden ingredients, and any number of other manmade (profit-driven) chemical concoctions, the organic movement is exploding. Another added bonus is that while the price of organic protein and processed goods is rising, produce is still extremely reasonable for the health value.
Mainstream supermarkets are wealthy enough to get the USDA certification, but the best options are going to be local Farmer's Markets and Co-ops.
Go Green and Raw
Perhaps the best thing about smoothies is that it's perfectly acceptable to sport a, "add more" attitude. Throw heaps of green vegetables in there, and add as many rich colors as possible. It's crazy to mix and match pharmaceuticals, but perfectly safe to turn a smoothie into an incredibly complex web of micronutrients. The highest concentrations are obviously going to come from raw ingredients that have been washed with clean water vs. boiled.
The Thicker the Better
The first problem that many smoothie nuts run into is not feeling satiated after guzzling one down. The good news is that there are a variety of ways to tackle this issue, and they're all yummy.
- Freeze your own fruits and vegetables. This way everything is prepped and ready to go, and, the extra water is going to be more filling.
- Frozen bananas are smoothie miracle workers. They'll thicken things up a bit, and make it taste more like a milkshake. Through fewer calories, it will become more filling.
- Add in a teaspoon or two of healthy fats. This could be anything from (fully saturated) coconut oil, extra virgin (ideally organic but this can be pricey) olive oil, a serving of peanuts or almonds (12 nuts = 1 serving), or maybe even some avocado.
Finally, make sure to add in all those tantalizing and antioxidant rich berries last so that like the ice, they're not over-blended into oblivion. Oh, and take it really easy with the juices, unless they are completely sugar free and pure. When done correctly, with all that natural produce, there should be tons of healthy sugars floating around.

A little background; I have been involved with commercial refrigeration for almost 40 years. First, as a maintenance supervisor on a large produce farm, and the last four years as a partner in in a service company. This company does daily PM on 4 large produce farms in the area and monthly PM for dozens of smaller commercial companies, i e restaurants, drive thru's, etc. Most of my education has come from the school of hard knocks, with a couple of winters spent taking courses through the RSES.
Now to the question:
I am presently working on a Morris Ice Maker, Model #NIM-40-15. This unit uses a Copeland DS6-4000-TSN compressor running R-22 refrigerant. The unit uses hot gas for harvesting of the ice on a timed schedule. (Makes ice for 8 minutes, harvests for 1 minute). It has experienced some trouble with the hot gas valve not closing on occasion and last week we replaced the valve. Upon restart, the compressor is running extremely hot, 300 degrees cylinder head temperature in about 1 minute of operation with a suction pressure of 40 lbs and a discharge pressure of 170 lbs. Normal suction and discharge should be 35 lbs and 215 lbs with about 200 degrees of cylinder head temperature.
Thinking that there must be a problem with the new valve we recovered all the refrigerant and disassembled the new valve, finding no problem. We then made a call to a compressor rebuilder and they told us that the compressor must have been slugged on start-up (which it wasn't) and had broken valves. We then reluctantly pulled the heads and checked all valve plates and valves and they look like new, no discoloration, no broken or bent parts, no blown gaskets. We called them back and were told that it must be the internal relief valve that had stuck open. Ordered a new one, pulled the compressor and replace the valve.
Thursday, we reinstalled the compressor, evacuated the system for 24 hours (100 microns), and recharged with 117 lbs of virgin refrigerant. We refired the unit on Friday afternoon with exactly the same result, 300 degrees of head temperature in about a minute and lots of turmoil in the crankcase (looks like a hurricane in there).
We had our wholesaler talk to Copeland tech and they say we need a head cooling fan. My problem with that is this unit has run for 25 years without one, and the other three ice makers in this group have also run for 25 years without one. They are all the same model number using the same Copeland compressor and all operate within the same temperature range (200 to 208 degrees of head temperature @ 35 lbs suction and 215 lbs discharge pressure.
Sorry for the long post, but thought I needed to explain the whole situation.
I believe that somehow this compressor is returning discharge gas directly to the crankcase, causing the low discharge pressure, high suction pressure, and high head temperatures.

A late period negative pregnancy test situation is never ideal. No woman wants to experience the absence of her period along with a negative pregnancy test – unless she's not trying to become pregnant but her period isn't here yet. A late period negative pregnancy test situation is scary. It's confusing and it's stressful. If you're trying to become pregnant and you're hoping to see that second line or to see the word "Not" finally disappear from your digital home pregnancy test, this situation becomes even more stressful.
How To Avoid A Negative Pregnancy Test
In order to help you avoid a negative pregnancy test it's important for you to understand how pregnancy tests work. Home pregnancy tests work in a way that's actually pretty complicated for such a seemingly uncomplicated little device. I mean, how powerful and complicated can something be if it only works when you urinate on it? Actually, it's quite complicated. Pregnancy tests are designed to detect human chorionic gonadotropin in your urine. This is the pregnancy hormone. You're probably more familiar with it when it's referred to as hCG. This hormone becomes present in your urine when you become pregnant and it doubles its levels every two to three days.
Now, it's important that you understand you don't become pregnant the moment you ovulate and engage in intercourse. It could take hours for your egg to fertilize. Once it does, you're still not pregnant. In fact, your egg has a rather long journey to take before you're considered pregnant. Part of that journey – the longest part – is through your fallopian tubes and into your uterus. Even when your fertilized egg lands in your uterus, you're still not pregnant. In fact, you must now wait for your egg to implant into the wall of your uterus first. Once that happens, you are officially pregnant and your body will begin to produce the pregnancy hormone.
Now, don't get too excited. This journey could take a week or more or even a little less. It's different for every woman. Now that your body is producing the pregnancy hormone, you still may not be able to detect it. You have to wait until the levels are high enough, which takes days to happen; sometimes more. Most home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough to detect the hormone when it reaches levels of 20 to 25 mIU. Being that your levels start anywhere below 5 mIU and anything over 5 mIU is considered pregnant, it could take another few days before a test says that it is positive.
For example, if it takes your egg one week to implant, you're already technically three weeks pregnant. If your hCG levels started at 1 mIU and your pregnancy test only detects levels higher than 25 mIU and your levels double every two to three days, it could take anywhere from 10-15 days before you level is high enough to detect.
Reasons For A Late Period Negative Pregnancy Test
Your period was supposed to arrive on this day. You spent days before that taking home pregnancy tests that boldly claim they can inform you that you're pregnant days before other tests. Each time you take a test and it tells you that you're not pregnant; you become a little more depressed about the situation. You remind yourself that it's still early. You keep telling yourself that tomorrow will be the day. You know that these tests aren't always accurate.
If you have a slow doubling hCG level as described in the above mentioned example, you'd be closer to five weeks pregnant when your level of hCG was high enough to detect. If you expected your period at four weeks and it doesn't arrive, it doesn't mean you're not pregnant. In fact, it could just mean that you have to wait another week or so to actually detect your pregnancy.
You could have ovulated later than you thought, you could have miscalculated the arrival date of your period, or you simply don't have high enough hCG levels. While most pregnancy tests say that they are 99 percent accurate as of the day of your missed period, your doctor will advise you to only take the results seriously one week after your missed period. If you still have a negative pregnancy test result one week after your period is due, it's time to call the doctor.
Additionally, you could be using tests that are expired. Check the date to ensure that your pregnancy test is still valid. You also need to check to see that you used the test correctly in the first place. All tests are different, which means you must read all instructions. If you fail to read the instructions on one test assuming it works just like another test, you might use it incorrectly and receive a negative test result even though you are pregnant.
Another reason might be an ectopic pregnancy. This is one in which your egg does not make it to your uterus, rather it stops in your fallopian tubes and continues to grow there until the tubes burst. This is not a viable pregnancy.
Another very common reason for a late period negative pregnancy test is that you are using diluted urine. It's always best to use your first urine of the day to detect pregnancy. Otherwise, already low levels become diluted and difficult to read.
If you think you are pregnant and your period is late and your test is still negative, call your doctor. Your doctor can perform a blood test that will tell you if you are pregnant. These tests are foolproof. You will not get a false result on this test. If your blood test is negative and your period still hasn't arrived, your doctor will discuss other issues with you. It could be that your body is under too much stress, you're reacting strangely to a new medication, or something else entirely.
Either way, it's always safe to call the doctor and let him or her do the job that needs doing. Medical help can save you from potentially serious complications if you have a late period, a negative pregnancy test result, and suspicion that something is going on with your body.

- Synopsis
- Ten-year-old Jonathan practically lives at the Anchorage Zoo, where his father is a keeper. He loves animals, and even imagines himself inside their bodies, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel.Meanwhile, a young brown bear is wandering through the woods near Anchorage, alone and hungry. One night, while searching for food, the bear crosses paths with Jonathan, who eagerly follows him onto the zoo grounds.But when the bear accidentally kills Mama Goose, Jonathan's favorite zoo creature, the boy loses the empathy he had felt earlier. He wishes that the bear-now nicknamed Trouble-would meet the same fate as his beloved goose, and he impulsively takes steps to make sure that happens.Based on an actual incident, and told in alternating chapters from the bear's and Jonathan's points of view, this is both an involving animal story and a thought-provoking investigation into the consequences of one's actions.

She told me to just let it go.
It's not that easy.
Especially when you're holding onto nothing.
I have been wondering lately. If everyone's the same, then does it matter whom you're with?
Sooner or later, everything will end. At least in this world. To finally have found the answer to that question that I asked many years back, is unsettling.
Is there any redemption?
There's none.
And when I look at my life, I know there won't be any in the next either. There's none for the fallen. Will people think about the woman she was? Will they? Will someone sigh, will someone try to wipe off their tears when they think about her?

Overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed. Stressed. overwhelmed is the major feeling right now. I'm busy at work, but for once in my career here, I'm busy in a way I like to be busy.
We are moving. I LOVE the new home. It feels like a happy home. It is bigger. It has more room. I love the feel of the place. I'm ready to make it home. And they don't mind my service dog, Whiskey.
One baby step at a time. Seems I go forward one step and I get knocked back five. I wish I understood why, but that's how I feel. I don't necessarily trust all my feelings, but I'm doing the best I can. I'm trying so very hard to come out of this downward spiral. I'm not sure what the catalyst was this time, but it keeps spinning lower and lower and while my sweet husband is trying to hold on to the top, he is coming after me. He won't let me go here alone. I'm so grateful to have him.
Some days, I think I can't do this. Not for one minute more. I can't. I don't have the strength, I don't have the energy. But then I look at this man and think, he doesn't deserve this. He deserves a loving wife who cares about everything... so I try again.
I don't like my son's girlfriend. I think she is manipulative, and I think she is verbally abusive to him. It breaks my heart that I taught him that taking verbal abuse is ok. I took it for so many years, he learned that it was ok to accept being spoken to in a manner that one should NOT be spoken towards. I wish she would go away. But the harder I wish and pray for it, the more she clings not only to him, but to me, as a mom. It breaks my heart. And then I get sad again. And thus the cycle continues. I just need a break. A real break. Or some time to regenerate. Or something. I know that I don't like feeling all drugged out - but I cry and cry and cry if I don't take my medication. SO... I go the other way and take my meds probably a lot more than I should.
I don't know why I feel this way. I want it to stop. I want to be genuinely happy again. I have moments of happiness. Little bright lights of goodness. I cling to those. Because otherwise, my world feels completely dreary... and sometimes intensely dark. I don't like the darkness. I want bright lights and stars and a full moon to light my path if it has to be dark...
Should I offer but a smile, please don't be disappointed... so many give... a lot less. ~Jovan

Squalls of impending change. That is the moment I am in!
Schools is ending, a major shift in the way I spend my time. While I have yet to lock in my future plans, I know what I don't want. I won't fail to follow my own.
A good friend today asked me to join in on her plans. It was to move away, start fresh in a new city. My reaction was expected "You know that I can't", referring to my parents. She offered a compromise, and I said no.
But what was this really? The truth- this wasn't my dream.
While I may not have been able to articulate this as clearly in the past, I proudly know that I have never done this- made a change that wasn't my own. I didn't follow a breaking relationship 3000 miles away, I didn't take a 'good enough' job at an organization I love. I didn't choose my place to study abroad based on friends' choices.
And the same is true today. I want to live out my dream. However unplanned, frightening, and winding it may be. And while this might take daily courage and weekly doses of fortitude, it's the only way I want to go.
My way. However it goes.

The Cumulative Effects of Small Change
2008 is the year that this finally sunk into my thick head. I've been trying to apply this phrase to varying aspects of my life and I have been very pleased with the results. This has been my mantra lately and I keep repeating it to myself as a reminder of the big picture. Little changes long term are far more effective than big change short term. That phrase is so powerful to me, let me repeat that again. Little changes long term are far more effective than big change short term.
This is just a real life execution of that old childhood tale of the tortoise versus the hare. Slow and steady is hard because there is no instant gratification. Making little changes and waiting for the results requires dedication and a leap of faith. This has really been a difficult thing for me because of how instant everything is in our current lifestyles. Today everything is bigger, better, and faster than it was 10 years ago. We've been trained to get things immediately. Unfortunately, there are certain things that are just not instant. Here's a few ways that I am seeing the benefit of small changes.
- Weight Loss - I have always struggled with my weight. Even though I have had a few setbacks this year, I'm still on the weight loss bandwagon. Usually by this time of the year I've given up, so this is major progress for me. All of the things I've done have been fairly minor: drinking water instead of diet drinks, reducing portion sizes, making better food choices, and bringing my lunch more often. I've done these things and it is really working for me in losing weight. The best part of it is that I haven't missed the things I've given up.
- Fitness - Obviously my goals aren't just to lose weight. I want to lose fat and not muscle. In order to do that I have to exercise to keep the muscle on while I'm losing weight. Right now it's just body weight exercises and walking/jogging. I try to fit it in when I can and it seems to be helping. I have a body fat scale and the body fat percentage is coming down along with my weight. I haven't adopted some mega workout scheme, instead I've opted to do as much as I can, when I can. I haven't gotten burnt out on the exercise yet.
- Money - Ashley and I have made a conscious effort to save more money. When I sat down and looked at how we were spending our money, I quickly realized that we were wasting a lot. For instance, I was eating out at lunch everyday. Let's say I average $8/day: that's $40/week or $2,080 a year! By cutting that down to 2 times a week and eating leftovers, I'm saving a bundle while still maintaining some social interaction. As a bonus, it's helping me lose some weight.
- Gas - Surely you've noticed that gas isn't getting any cheaper. As a commuter who drives about 70 miles per day, it's starting to hurt and it hurts bad! 18,000 miles of commuting and my car gets about 26 mpg mixed hwy and city. That means at $4/gallon, I'm spending about $2,800 per year in gas which is about $700 more than I was a year ago. I've been able to adjust my driving habits by driving slower on the interstate and accelerating slower from a stop so that I'm now getting about 28 mpg mixed city/hwy. That's a savings of just over $200/year if gas stays at $4/gallon. It's not huge, but as they say every little bit helps.
The changes I'm making in my life are so small, that I barely even notice them. I just have to make a conscious effort to do the right thing and not fall into my old habits. I've noticed that as I've progressed through this year, that these better choices are becoming more natural. It's getting to the point where it feels odd to drink a soda and not bring my lunch to work. Now that is sustainable change!
Do you notice waste in your life? If you do, don't wait to try and make some monumental change to solve it. Start now. Do something little that will move you towards your goal. Then do the same thing tomorrow. It's that easy. Take one step at a time and move forward. Give it a month and see where it gets you.

JFF 2007: Friday, May 18th
Everything Will Be OK - This short starts off with above average stick figures walking around on an off-white background and looks like something from Liquid Television back in the day: Pretty goofy and harmless. The simplicity of the beginning, which includes several focuses of action going on at once through fuzzy white circles against a black background, really fools you. As we learn more and more about Bill and his condition and how that's changing his life in very odd and unfortunate ways, the animation changes. We get blasts of color and photography of real objects such as runnels of rain on glass. Things go psychotic when characters heads turn into insects and Bill breathes fire onto passers-by. It's surreal and very compelling.
Something like this can become very self-indulgent with takes going on too long, but the pacing felt just right. My favorite moment was one of much needed quiet in the middle, where Bill sits on a hospital bed, running his hand over his head (Bill's unexplained problem may be a tumor). This was an excellent start to the film festival: Out there enough to please the serious movie fan, but accessible enough to those who aren't used to this sort of thing.
One Rat Short - What wondrous things we can see with CGI. Since 1995 when Toy Story opened (damn, is it that long ago?!?!), everybody has gotten into the CGI feature game to the point where there is a glut of smart-ass talking animals at the theater. Very few of them, however, have Pixar's flair for storytelling, and the makers of this short have it as well.
It's a dialogue-free story of a city rat becoming involved with an empty chip bag, a cute white lab rat, and a tenacious red-eyed lab robot. This short just breezes along, and I mean that literally, as they take full advantage of CGI's POV freedom to follow the bag any where the eddies and currents of the city takes it. It's a mirror of the short itself which proceeds ever so gracefully. Very satisfying.
Post Nasal Drift - No IMDb link for this one. It looks like something that would have been made if David Lynch had gone into microbiology. We basically get to see all sorts of microscopic creatures crawl about on various human body parts and eat each other. Sometimes new creatures sprout from the corpses, sometimes new creatures sprout from others' slime trails. And the eating continues. It's the circle of friggin life, and it's quite depressing and tedious. Moving on.
Shut-Eye Hotel - Ah, that's better. Good old Bill Plympton. The last short I saw of his was actually at last year's festival (called Guide Dog). He's lost none of his talent or wit since his work started popping up in bits and pieces on the Comedy Channel back in the early 1990's. This one is short and sweet (maybe a little too short) as a pair of cops investigate a series of murders that all occur in the same hotel room.
Things get surreal and there's some lovely touches of humor (keep an eye on that blinking sign). And though the animation is distinctly Plympton's, he's never done a film noir themed short to my knowledge, so it's nice to see his trying different things. Rock on, Bill!
Destiny Manifesto - When politics gets preachy. Things are never as simple as some people would have us believe, and that's on both sides of the aisle. This short draws parallels between the frontiersmen of old (and their treatment of Native Americans) and soldiers now in the Middle East (and their treatment of Arabs). Despite the existence of Gitmo (the fault of Bush) and Abu Ghraib (the fault of Bush and a collection of soldiers willing to be complicit, even eager, in those activities), a large part of the army there just wants to help, and painting with this wide a brush doesn't help matters any. The fact that goes on too long doesn't do itself any favors, either.
Monster Camp - Here was something I was reluctant to see. I've done my share of gaming, thank you very much. D&D, Rifts, Cyberpunk and, most notably, Shadowrun. As for LARPing (which stands for Live Action Role Playing and is the subject of this documentary), I have dabbled in it without much interest. I can certainly see the appeal, but I never thought it was for me. The subjects of the documentary, which participate in a one-weekend-a-month LARP called NERO, have found it very much to their liking and go all out.
The danger with this sort of subject is the fine line one must tread as a filmmaker so we laugh with these people more than we laugh at them (and this group doesn't make it easy on themselves). It helps that the folks that go to NERO seem to be a more diversified lot than the gamers I used to know, especially in terms of gender. Many of the players come across pretty sensible and even likable. It also helps that the filmmakers have Carter to turn to occasionally.
Who is Carter? Oh, you'll remember Carter if you see this. Carter is the hopeless geek that acts as a black hole to suck amounts of geekiness from everyone else so they look a lot more normal in comparison. And when I say "hopeless", I mean it. The guy happily admits to entering his fifth year as a High School senior. Why? I'm guessing because he's playing video games all damn day instead of going to school and doing his work.
Carter elicits no sympathy from me. I had a dear friend in college that actually looked and acted a lot like Carter. Also like Carter, he was book smart but not smart enough to devote enough time to studies in order to get passing grades. By the time he reached the end of one semester with four F's and an Incomplete, his parents pulled him out and hauled his sorry butt back up to Maryland. Dude brought it on himself. Gaming does not deserve that much of your time.
It's time consumption that burns out Shane, the head of Seattle chapter of NERO. LARP is described at the beginning as a great alternative to traditional roleplaying in terms of the passion of the players. To which I could only think: Don't blame the system, blame the players. Pencils and paper is certainly a lot less stressful and time-intensive and certainly doesn't require the taking out of insurance policies on your players. No wonder Shane is completely fed up by the end of it.
Alright. Anti-LARPing rant over. But when you get right down to it, this documentary is easier to connect to general audiences now than fifteen years ago. As it points out, most of the players are also World of Warcraft players, which claims 8.5 million members worldwide. All of these are not just nerds, but also regular working stiffs that don't still live with Mom. The Internet has allowed us to tap our inner geek and make doing that OK. And LARPing is OK, too. Just don't miss any classes because of it.
Once - Ah, now here was a sublime piece of cinema. On the streets of Dublin, we meet a guy and a girl (they never receive proper names). He's a singer/songwriter who busks on the street when not working in his father's vacuum cleaner repair shop. She is a Czech immigrant with a two year old daughter and is looking for work. She takes an interest in his music and a friendship forms between them which grows as she compels him to take his talent to the next level.
This films is first and foremost a valentine to music and the creation thereof. The two leads are not only talented but also very charismatic. These two qualities make the audiences' joining their journey all the more effortless. He (Glen Hansard) looks at times like a red-headed Hugh Laurie and sounds like a cross between David Gray and Thom York. She is an endearing creature who has a more delicate voice like the lead singer for Portishead. Together, they make beautiful music together (forgive the cliche, but it works).
I'm not going to say any more about it, frankly. I want people to go see it knowing as little as I did. It has been getting rave reviews and has been picked up by Fox Searchlight, so it may even make it out to the smaller towns. You'll thank me for telling you to see it, and then you'll go straight out and buy the soundtrack.

This video has apparently been around since 2008 so perhaps some of you, unlike me, have seen it. For those of you who haven't I encourage you to do so. It's the moving testimony of a survivor of the Luby Cafeteria shootings in Killeen, TX, in 1991, a woman who lost both her father and mother during that horrendous event. Watch it and, like me, you will want to slap that smarmy ahole Chuck Schumer right across his face.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB1qRBVAlI
Ah. 1991. Back when the Libtards like Schmucky thought they were on a roll to eliminate guns all together by this date. What happens after these tragedies like CT? Gun sales go way up, not down. The gun grabbers are the most unpopular lot of losers this country has.

What's coming up at Freewheel Brewing Company…
The Famous- LIVE MUSIC
02/04/2017 –
Evoking images of desert plains and ghost towns, the music of The Famous is like swallowing hard liquor -- a raw, scorching blast of rocket-fueled, post-punk guitar and country twang -- the blasphemous marriage of indie-styled rock & roll and cowboy laments.
Join us for their Freewheel debut!

Mortgage insurer Radian gaining market share
Mortgage insurer Radian Group was set to be acquired in 2007 by larger rival MGIC Group before problems within the mortgage industry put the kibosh onthe merger. Five years later, Radian has surpassed MGIC in industry market share despite not yet returning to profitability.
Radian and its competitors, who connect lenders, homebuyers, investors and loan servicers to private mortgage insurance and related risk management products and services, have all been wounded by the recessionary effects on the mortgage industry. But Radian has fared better than others that have exited the business or been forced to not write new policies.
According to data from the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, Radian's market share has increased from 13 percent in fourth quarter 2007 to 29 percent in second quarter 2012.
MGIC of Milwaukee went from an industry-leading 26 percent to 20 percent during that same span after posting a string of losses and breaching mandatory capital ratios. Now its future is in question as it is caught in a dispute with Fannie Mae over loss-limit policies the government-backed mortgage operator bought from MGIC.
Depending on the outcome, MGIC might not be allowed to write new business, though Radian ($8 billion) had already written more new insurance policies than its rival ($5.9 billion) in the second quarter.
Another Radian rival, Genworth Financial, fell from 20 percent to 12 percent. Republic Mortgage Insurance Co., which had 13 percent market share at the end of 2007, was suspended as an approved mortgage insurer last year by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after falling below the acceptable risk ratio and has exited the business.
These changes in the marketplace have left Radian as a clear winner.
"Traditionally, we have been in third or fourth place in market share," Radian CEO S.A. Ibrahim said. "Now we are first or second."
The two other beneficiaries are United Guaranty, the mortgage insurance subsidiary of insurance giant AIG, and Essent Guaranty, a Radnor based company started a couple of years ago by former Radian executives.
Ibrahim said other factors for the company's gains include its complete retooling of its mortgage insurance business and a different philosophical approach to sales. But he admitted that the fact that so many competitors have fallen on hard times has helped.
UG has also increased its market share from 13 percent to 29 percent during the aforementioned time span. But Ibrahim said UG has an "unfair advantage" by being part of a company that received capital infusions from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Essent entered the market in 2010 as the first new mortgage insurance company in more than a decade. Its president and CEO, Mark A. Casale, previously was president of Radian Guaranty, Radian's primary subsidiary.
Through a spokeswoman, Casale declined comment about why the company has picked up 7 percent of market share so quickly. But Ibrahim said Essent has been aided by the fact that it does not have policies on its books from before the mortgage crash of 2007 and 2008.
Conversely, Ibrahim said losses from legacy loans written between 2005 and 2008 have kept Radian in the red more often than in the black during quarterly earnings periods over the past three years.
Radian wound up losing $1.8 billion in 2010 and gaining $1.57 billion last year. Radian officials have noted that swing to profit was largely an accounting issue involving the value of derivatives and other financial instruments. Minus that, Radian would have lost $1 billion in 2010 and lost $500 million in 2011.
But the company is taking heart that its net premiums written have increased from $443 million in 2009 to $691 million in 2010 and $707 million last year.
Ibrahim expects Radian to turn a small profit by next year as losses incurred from legacy-loan relationships entered into between 2005 and 2008 have a lower percentage of the overall book and the more stable loans since that time have a higher percentage.
Ibrahim and his Radian colleagues will be watching Congress, which could take up new rules for the housing finance industry after the presidential election that could change how it conducts business.

I was reading an article posted by the Retro Brothers the other day about the classic arcade game – Karate Champ. A great read itself but it wasn't until I watched the accompanying youtube video showing the game in action did i take note on how cool and fluid the character animation was. Considering the game was released way way back in1984 it still looks pretty good today and I bet it was a real eye opener back then – especially having the twin joysticks and the rather unique control system.
Sadly, I missed it myself and never came across the cabinet in the arcades I visited. My only recollection of seeing the game in an arcade was via the scene in the movie 'Bloodsport' with Guile and that big bloke from Revenge of the Nerds.
It's been a fun afternoon playing Karate Champ via MAME for the first time and I suspect it would play much better if can hunt out/connect that DIY 'state of the art' twin joystick controller thingy I built a few months back 😉
See previous blog post <;https://stiggyblog.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/diy-retro-dual-stick-controller-part-2/>;
It also plays really well under emulation on my iPad – The single virtual joystick and two buttons takes some getting used to though and it plays much better on the iCade.
I also found that there's a dedicated iPhone/iPad Karate Champ app that goes some way to recreating the original twin stick setup and what appears to be a rather novel split screen two player mode – Will be definitely checking this one out soon.
I've also been having a laugh with this remake of sorts for PC/Windows. The comedy sound effects and pixel blood are quite funny for a while and it's even got LAN netplay. It's not a patch on the original though.
Getting ones nose bent out of shape!
Karate Champ…top game….but you already knew that!

Alumni and students celebrate the past with a parade, football game and more than 20 other campus events
More than 2,800 guests will flood Liberty University's campus for Homecoming weekend Oct. 18 – 19, according to Tyler Falwell, the university's director of alumni relations.
Alumni and students will have the opportunity to attend multiple events and cheer for the Flames as they take the football field to battle against conference rival Coastal Carolina University in the Homecoming game Oct. 19 at 3:30 p.m.
At 1 p.m., the Homecoming Parade will begin on Evans Boulevard near Green Hall and travel down University Boulevard before concluding near the circle dormitories.
According to the Alumni Relations Web page, in addition to Saturday's Homecoming Parade and football game, scheduled athletic events include ice hockey, soccer, volleyball and field hockey.
The homecoming football game and other athletic events will not be the only activities available to alumni throughout the weekend, according to Falwell. Several events, such as a carnival and tailgate on the back lawn of the Hancock Welcome Center and a 5k race at Camp Hideaway, will give visitors the opportunity to experience a variety of activities throughout their stay.
"Your athletes have an opportunity to participate in the race that is taking place at Camp Hideaway that weekend," Falwell said. "Families have carnivals with tons of rides and prizes. Really, there is something for everybody."
According to Elizabeth Karr, event supervisor at Student Activities, she has been pleased with the results of recent Homecoming weekends.
"We always receive really positive feedback from students and alumni after our Homecoming weekend events," Karr said. "These events are very popular and provide a great deal of community and school spirit for both current and past students."
The success of last year's homecoming is becoming evident in this year's registration numbers, according to Falwell. In 2012, 800 guests had registered for Homecoming weekend at the beginning of October, but at the same time this year, more than 2,800 visitors had signed up to attend.
Alumna Michelle Goodacre, of the class of 2012, said she will be one of the many guests attending Homecoming 2013.
"I look forward to seeing how Liberty has changed since I graduated," Goodacre said. "I want to see the progress of the campus, and I look forward to doing this all while being able to meet up with old friends."
According to Falwell, the goal of his office is to not only show off Liberty throughout the weekend, but develop a deeper rapport with alumni like Goodacre.
"Everything we do is for relationships and to keep the Liberty experience alive," Falwell said. "We need the alumni to put a face behind the office, (to have) somebody they know they can reach out to when they have a need or concern, or move to a new location and want to find a local church that is Liberty-connected, or want to know the alumni in their area."
Alumni will have the opportunity to build a relationship with the Alumni Relations office and reunite with classmates as Liberty celebrates Homecoming with more than 20 separate events, according to the Alumni Relations Web page.
For more information on Homecoming or to register for the weekend, visit liberty.edu/alumni/homecoming.

In this society, looking back is considered very uncool. We are encouraged to be in the present. The past is seen as an obstacle to moving forward. Reminiscence is considered a nostalgic waste of time.We should be looking ahead at the next new path.
I believe most of us are not looking back enough.
How much do you know about your family history? Maybe you know where your parents were born but what about your grandparents? Your aunts and uncles? Can you picture their family life?
I am going to tell you about an incredible experience. I'm going to talk about a pilgrimage, for lack of a stronger term. This word denotes a journey to a sacred place. Actually it can be a simple exploration of one's lineage. My brother Steve, sister Rita, and I set out on a true pilgrimage to my dad's birthplace. Steve, an extremely knowledgable historian/Holocaust researcher prepared the groundwork for us. He had fastidiously mapped out our father's town to the point of fairly accurately locating his exact house. He outlined the path the family took to the concentration camp. My cousin Richard came along as our guide. His presence was invaluable for his multilingualism, personal experience and high entertainment value.

"Artists have a real struggle in this city because they are up against Hollywood," claimed video/performance artist Ulysses Jenkins Jr. in an editing room at the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design.
"What Hollywood represents, especially in my work, is the classic plantation mentality. Although people aren't necessarily enslaved by it, people enslave themselves to it because they're told how fantastic it is to help manifest these illusions for a corporate sponsor."
Like other mavericks with creative visions outside the artistic mainstream, Jenkins' aesthetic passion drives him, despite slim prospects for commercial reward.
While Jenkins may be no more or less pure or passionate about his work than other more commercial or critically successful artists, he's a part of the creative scene that is seldom seen or written about.

What beliefs do you hold that you would be hard-pressed to compromise on?
Are there any beliefs that you would never compromise on regardless of any information given to you (and how can you justify that)?
Could you think of anything that would make you change your mind?
The productive members (and classes) of society are of much more value than the unproductive members and classes of society.
The nation is a real, historical, organic entity which unites people based on a common spirit.
These are probably the two uncompromising beliefs that have never changed, and one of the reasons that I became a syndicalist. I don't believe anything can change my mind because they are entirely subjective value judgements.
LGBT Rights
those are the main four things I probably won't change.
you could swap liberalism however to socialism or conservatism (not in social sense though)
LGBT rights, Immigration, and Environmentalism. I could reasonably be swayed on most other things, and I have in the past.
Globalisation, Cultural superiority of the West and impact of recent (post-80s) automation on the labour market turning from a complement to an outright substitute.
And that the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was the single worst piece of legislation in the existence of the US.
Aquafresh is objectively the best brand of toothpaste.
All women are the same
no sensodyne is the best
fucking kys
Tbf, they're both produced by GSK
glaxo smith kline what a lovely name
It's Colgate you fag kys
Got to get the top fluoride levels in Sensodyne
ur gay so ur mouth is dirty anyway xd
get in the bin you trash
Inequality is natural
the definition of an ideologue is someone who is irrationally uncompromising
Freedom leads to a productive society, which often leads to a happy society (but not necessarily always) ,
That arbitrary authoritarianism is in general bad,
Large scoped power is to be avoided at absolutely all costs.
Equality is unimportant when compared to Equality of Opportunity.
Irrespective of climate change, anthropocentric environmentalism is a desirable philosophy to follow where plausible.
Ideals such as liberty, equality, etc. are useful mostly in the pursuit of a higher principle of maximising welfare.
Utilising force is not immoral, so long as it is minimised to the maximum degree possible for achieving your aims.

By the end of the week, the groundhogs -- both proverbial and those trotted out for media exploitation -- will either have seen their shadows or not. But here in the northlands, many more weeks of winter are on tap regardless; while some who live here chomp at the bit, waiting for warmer weather and enduring my comments suggesting a move to a climate more to their liking, I love the winter.
Something of the long nights, cold weather, warm hearth and slower pace to the day really sits well with me. Don't get me wrong though... come spring, summer and fall I will be bounding about in joy at planting, tending, harvest, enjoying the fresh produce and the activities of the young chickens and ducks. And making abundant use of the longer hours of daylight, most certainly.
I hold the belief that balance in all things is good. Most often that is a dynamic balance; up contrasted with down, long days with short and likewise the nights, and times of contentment with times of stress and distress. A life of total constant balance seems to me, to the extent that I am able to image such a time, to be beyond boring. Some seek happiness like an addict does his drug. At times it seems like our society does the same with safety. Now, I won't say "go forth and seek gloom, misery and woe" or sing the praises of danger, however without contrast, how can one truly appreciate the joys of life and without some risk... well, I, at least, would be tempted to succumb to an attitude of "why bother."
So, as the season is at cusp, let me put forth for your consideration this paraphrase of Thoreau: "Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and revel in the influences of each."
Here at hex central, we have most recently emerged from a 10 day spell of weather much colder than typical for the season, during which our hot water stopped running and in the back bathroom, all the water lines, and even two of the drains froze up. I waxed nostalgic for the days with my 1901 Home Comfort wood range (though even here in Main it would be too warm for its use in the summer), as it was easy to keep up to 3 large canning kettles on that stove top to heat sufficient water for dishes and bath, with room to spare for a skillet and a normal kettle. The stove top surface was no larger than that of my current gas range, but now being constrained to 4 distinct burner areas, the canners crowded even the smallest of other pots on the front burner eyes.
However, yesterday the cold spell broke and today the high was well above freezing, as is predicted for tomorrow as well. There has been some cold rain, which is supposed to freeze some tonight becoming sleet. The town trucks were out last night spewing sand and much of the area around the fowl pens that LOOKED like open earth or mud was covered early on with a transparent, thin layer of ice. I am sure it will be that way again tomorrow when I head for town in the pre-dawn hours, but with another day of melt under its belt, perhaps the walkway to the fowl and most of the driveway will clear. Snow is predicted for the end of the week, so any groundhogs peeking out of their burrows in my neighborhood likely won't need their shades. However he's better be prepared for a bit more of a nap, 'cause the likelihood of an early spring seems a bit weak to my bones. But we shall see...
Meanwhile I have used this bit of warmer weather to unearth the growing shelved from the garage and bring them in. Later in the week I'll prep the grow lights for the start of the onion and leek planting in a week or so.

Information technology is not an end in itself. An intelligent hospital must in the future deliver a personal, customised service to its patients, and provide the highest quality care both in the hospital and at home. To support accurate diagnosis and treatment, an electronic medical record (EMR) is essential, according to Dr Byung-Chul Chang, professor of surgery at Severance Hospital in South Korea. Dr Chang identified an urgent need to reduce adverse medication events and errors in hospitals.
In a transformational journey towards being an intelligent hospital, Severance Hospital looks towards a global future where every patient is connected to their mobile personal device, whether smartphone, tablet, ultrabook, or whatever device that future technology may bring, Dr Chang said.
In such a future Severance Hospital has a startling vision to achieve zero medical errors and adverse events. The transformation to quality care depends upon the correct identification of the right patient at the right place; the prescribed medication for the right patient in the right doses; a timely consultation with the right clinician; and patient care with smart monitoring and surveillance.

With the introduction of new technologies and marketing conventions, the realm of E-commerce is witnessing rapid growth in terms of popularity and growth. With every new business, we get to hear new success stories that inspire aspiring businessman to change their marketing strategies according to the latest trends. Knowing the fact that almost 60% of the population is engaged on mobile devices and it is as important to cater them as it is to start your new business.
A business website which is poorly designed and endows less functionality is surely not going to get its chance to grow in the coming years. This is because the consumers have become more aware and advanced, demanding latest facilities of online shopping. Moreover an idea becomes brilliant if gets executed well, so an e-business can only become a success if it serves exactly the needs of consumers. This can be only done by knowing the latest trends prevalent or some expected trends that are going to influence the conventions of online marketing in near future.
Here Are 5 Major Trends Influencing e-Commerce
1. Mobile Shopping Will Outcast Desktop Shopping
Mobile commerce is going to be in trend in 2016 and for next few years for the obvious reasons. Significantly almost 2billion consumers are claimed to get smartphone by the end of this year which is certainly a huge number for mobile communications systems to cater. With mobile commerce growing on a steady pace, more and more people are getting engaged to work on smart phones. Seamless checkout option, one-click payment options, live chat support are some of the major improvements introduced to enhance the shopping experience of mobile users. These improvements are already taking mobile commerce to a next level thus generating more loyal customers.
This clearly means the businesses that undermined the process of mobile shopping might end up losing their identity and business reach in the market. In fact the businesses who are already in mobile businesses will need to facilitate seamless shopping experience.
2. Connecting Users Through Platforms Other Than Social Media
For the past few years social media has actively leveraged the conventional marketing strategy by engaging users through their social media accounts. Promotional links were sent to users whenever there was a new buzz or promotion in the market. And now, some special button are introduced on Pinterest and Twitter for marketing and promotional events. Moreover some big E-commerce platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce have already installed pre-built Facebook option in their functionality.
3. Automated Marketing
Getting automated marketing is going to be in trends for next decade in online marketing. This includes automatic display of discounts, recommended products, promotional mails and much more. A customized mail sent with the help of an automated marketing system will help in informing customers about the new products, discount vouchers and other details based on their shopping history. This would help in improving the customer engagement on your shopping site.
4. Flash Sales Will be on Toll
Flash Sales is an old concept served with new strategies. Flash sales are much awaited during festive seasons by online customers to get some extra discounts and offers. This is not a bad concept either as it helps in generating a significant audience of potential customers for a business. These flash sales could last for some weeks, days, hours, and even for seconds sometime. If you own a mobile-friendly business website and know the concept of flash sales, belive this, no one can ever beat you in getting success on this part.
5. Popups Are Still In The League
Yeah, we all remember the first time popup was introduced and a majority of us hated that introduction. Amid all aversion, Popups seems to have taken a comeback influencing a large number of online customers. So if you are planning to launch a new discount offer or a new service, why not announce it to the world with an attractive popup that flashed everytime a user lands on your page or linked pages.
Nowadays consumers hold high expectations and being a responsible businessman it becomes crucial for you to serve them efficiently. And to materialize this objective you would need professional assistance of an adept web development company. CSSChopper is one such name that is synonymous with trend, the ardent developers of this company are well-equipped and trained with latest technologies that helps in delivering futuristic E-commerce solutions. So if you are serious about moving your business to next level of success, start following and get acquainted with the latest trends of mobile commerce.

[The following post was originally written Wednesday night. However, Blogspot went down before I could post it. Therefore it did not appear until yesterday. Then Blogspot went down again last night, not only taking this post with it but preventing me entirely from writing my usual late night forecast. In this post "today" refers to Wednesady, ie. two days ago.
Since there's little point in making a forecast for a session that's already half over, I'll just (try) to republish Wednesday's post here and hope it sticks this time. One more of these and I'll be looking for a new host for the Night Owl.]
I readily confess I found today's action baffling. I guess this shows the limits of technical analysis. By all rights, last night the charts looked ready to move higher today. Instead, we got slammed, Dow down 130. I blew this one badly. And I'm still having trouble figuring out why. According to the news today, it was the fault of either the dollar, the euro, silver margins, oil speculators, the Greek debt, Chinese inflation, the Mississippi floods, Raj Rajaratnam, J.C. "zut alors" Trichet, head of the ECB, or the phase of the moon. Take your pick.
Either way, I found it untradeable. My big fear right now is that we're entering a period something like we say back in the beginning of March, where we got jerked around up and down for eight straight sessions for no real good reason before finally taking a dive all the way down to 11,555 on March 16th. Even the pattern looks the same: a three day decline followed by what looked to be the start of another uptrend, only to see it cut off well short of where it seemed to be heading.
Given this, I'm not making any market calls tonight. I'm just not getting any good guidance from my charts tonight. It's one of those times where the best course is to stand aside until the dust settles. And I'm also not sounding the all clear on SLV yet either.
Don't miss the eurozone revival!

D.G. Kaye reblogged this today and so pleased she did as you will find Helen Jones has set a very interesting challenge for you. The post was published at the end of last year but is definitely worth circulating again. A bio generator (no not a yogurt maker) but the thingy you put on the back of your book or Amazon.. Do you think I might sell more books with my version of Helen's bio generator?
Sally Cronin was born in a wigwam in Boggy Bottom in 1953 and grew up in the village of Scratchy Bottom learning to make soap bubbles. They left England for Sri Lanka where they learnt to avoid leopards in the jungle at night. Sally now lives in Katmandu with her husband David and several pack rats. When not writing best-selling novels, Sally likes to crochet swimsuits.
Head over and add your own… hilarious and might just make a few changes to my bio on Amazon!
I'm so fabulous and interesting.
So I've been noticing a trend recently of, shall we say, somewhat overwrought author bios, in which every detail is teased into something magnificent, a picture of a life fabulously lived. I realise that there are, in fact, authors who do live wonderfully exciting lives but I also seem to remember a time when it wasn't really important to know about it. A time when an author bio was a few lines at the end of a book, photograph optional, and usually read something like: 'Author X was born in Wiltshire, and still lives there with her husband and three sons.' Then, if Author X had written other books/and or won awards, these would also be listed. And that was about it. (I'm basing this on the very scientific research of spending time perusing my own bookcase and reading famous author bios, so you know…

A blogosphere investigation... (Inside investigates Revealed)
San Jose Inside has a detailed story about a chief suspect behind San Jose Revealed -- Phil Bump... You should definitely check it out.
(Mission City Lantern also chimes in...)
Mr. Bump: If you would like to respond to these charges, shoot Watch Dog an email...
6 comments:
SJR blogged TODAY that the info on SJI is not true~
- July 24, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Kathleen, are you naive enough to believe it? The denial on the San Jose Revealed site was not even a denial. It was an attack on Metro and the Mission City Lantern. The author does not say he is not Phil Bump. Read carefully. It makes me believe that San Jose Inside got it right.
- July 24, 2009 at 11:35 PM
Not naive just waiting for the facts. You know, something the Metro doesn't always provide?
The Metro did their own great job of attacking people on SJI in their reveal of this situation.
- July 25, 2009 at 12:27 PM
Well the "investigation" itself was more of a hit piece than investigative journalism. None of the actual of evidence is revealed.
And the author says that they have already debunked supposed ties to labor.
Didn't you used to work at Inside, Watch Dog? What happened with that? Do you still have some connections over there to see if the claims are real?
- July 25, 2009 at 3:23 PM
I agree that the Metro/SJ Inside story had a lot of circumstantial evidence and one suggestion of hard "electronic evidence" that was never spelled out.
However, if Phil Bump was innocent I think he would just say "it's not me." That's what Ash Pirayou did.
Non-answers from Bump and silence from Cindy Chavez and Steve Preminger suggest there's something here.
Metro won't win a Pulitzer with this story, but they clear hit something with their digging.
- July 27, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Phil Bump has publicly denied being SJR. Cindy and Steve don't have to defend themselves to anyone, whether they are involved or not. Why should they? I respect the right of SJR and Watch Dog to remain anonymous. Who cares who run these blogs? Half the time, the Metro run SJI, doesn't name the person writing their columns, and I could care less about that too.
My objection to ousting SJR is the hypocrisy of it all. It seems like immaturity and sour grapes to me. It also seems like one person, who shall go nameless, feels threatened that they don't control the flow of information the way they once did, and is now being held accountable for THEIR bad behaviors, bias reporting, and the spreading of misinformation.
Any way, gossip might be entertaining but it can ruin lives, businesses, relationships, and careers. I personally object to this type of destructive and irresponsible media because I have been a victim of that myself upon occasion, and have had associates who have been harmed by these same kinds of vengeful campaigns. It is hurtful and has serious consequences that cannot be repaired in some cases. I have chosen not to engage in further discussions on SJI on SJR because I personally see it for the nonsense, and hypocrisy that it is. I think it is time that we all move on to more important matters.

Luis Alberto has sent his former team-mate Alberto Moreno a Tweet as his Anfield move draws closer.
Liverpool's summer spending looks set to continue this week after they reportedly agreed a fee with Sevilla for talented left-back Alberto Moreno. The transfer, said to be worth around £12 million, will see the left-back arrive at Anfield and cover what has been a problem position of theirs for a number of seasons.
And one player happy at the deal is Luis Alberto. The playmaker, who signed for Liverpool in a £6.8 million deal last summer, is of course a former team-mate of Moreno's at Sevilla.
And he has moved fast to welcome him to the club, in fact he has done so before the deal is even finalised, with this Tweet:

Marvel's next big production has been put on ice -- temporarily. Filming on Iron Man 3 has halted due to an injury suffered by Robert Downey Jr. The actor plays the film's title character, so if he's hurt, we all feel the pain.
According to HitFix, Marvel Studios released a statement revealing that Downey sustained a minor setback while on the set. And no matter how small, they're taking the necessary precautions.
"Robert Downey Jr. sustained an ankle injury on the set of Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, North Carolina while performing a stunt. There will be a short delay in the production schedule while he recuperates."
They didn't confirm when shooting will resume, but they should be back sooner rather than later. There's been no change made to Iron Man 3's release date, which is set for May 3. So that's a good sign.
This is the first time we've heard of such an incident occurring on the Iron Man set. For the most part, Downey has managed to avoid injury and stay unscathed. But no one is invincible, not even the mighty Tony Stark.
Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black and has been in production since June. Aside from Downey, the film stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau and newcomers Sir Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall.
We wish Downey a speedy and safe recovery!
