As we discussed in an earlier post, in March, Minnesota adopted most federal tax changes made for the 2010 tax year, including the exclusion from income of employer-provided health benefits to non-tax dependent adult children through age 26. Unfortunately, the legislation adopted that change for only the 2010 tax year and was silent as to future tax years.
However, on July 20, the Minnesota state legislature enacted new tax legislation that adopts most federal tax changes made through April 14, 2011 on a permanent basis. This means that for all plan years beginning on or after September 23, 2010, the value of employer-provided health benefits provided to any employee's child under the age of 27 at the end of the taxable year (not just tax dependents) may be excluded from income for Minnesota state tax, as well as federal tax, purposes.

Starting with a workout routine can be a tough decision, especially if you are unsure about going to the gym. Many people are apprehensive regarding this and want to workout in the confines of their own home. There are many benefits of working out and you shouldn't let your shyness stop you from doing it. There are home workout plans to help you create a perfect workout routine at home, if you need professional advice.
It is necessary to have your doctor's permission before you start working out at home. After that, get all the necessary equipment you would need for your at-home workout routine. The exercises that you do at home are of three types and they target different important areas. Although these exercises will help you on a basic level, you might want to invest in some dumbbells and exercise machine as you advance further.
- Increasing and Improving your Cardiovascular System – Aerobic exercises are necessary for your cardiovascular system. You must make sure that you allot three days every week for doing aerobics. Do anything you like. It could be a walk for 10 minutes at your favorite park. If you like cycling, then you can just ride your bike. If rope jumping rejuvenates you, then you could do that as well.
It is always great to start with 10 – 15 minutes of aerobic exercises and then slowly increase this time to 30 minutes. Juggle between the activities you like and keep it interesting. Look up workout plans online to find an efficient way of exercising.
- Improving the Flexibility of your Body – An improved flexibility in your body would be beneficial to your muscles. It will ensure that you don't get problems like muscle pulls, injuries and other similar issues when you perform your daily activities. You can do some basic stretching as a warm up. Sit on the floor and stretch out to touch your toes. You can also kneel down on the floor in order to stretch and warm up the muscles of your shoulder and neck.
- Increasing your Muscle Strength – As a beginner, you don't need more than 3 sessions a week for strength building exercises. The things you need are – stability or exercise ball and exercise bands. This is all you need for a full body exercise.
The first day of your strength training would focus on your arms and shoulders. Use your rubber exercise bands to perform bicep curls to build strength in your arm. Also perform some triceps extensions. After that, you need to work on your abdominal muscles by doing sit ups using the exercise ball. The second day should be reserved for plank exercises, lunges and leg abduction exercises to work on the muscles of your leg.
Your abdominal exercises should be done in each session but alternate between working out your leg and arm session wise.
Don't rush your body too much because you might be susceptible to injuries. Start with aerobic exercises to prepare your body in the first week and then graduate to resistance training after 2 weeks. Do some cardio and stretching at first because you don't want to stress out your body.
Working out at home can be quite fun if you do it the right way. The results would be there to see for all and you would not regret you decision at all. Just put on your favorite music and go for it!

Whether this is getting lost in the woods, a severe winter storm knocking out the power, a hurricane or any of a dozen other reasons I like to have at least basic preparations in place. I am from a rural area in the Mid-coast region of Maine. I also love to BBQ and cook outside in dutch ovens so it's entirely possible I may stray from my topic occasionally to share tips and techniques and recipes in these areas as well. My interest in survival started with my working on the wilderness survival merit badge while I was in the Boy Scouts in the 1970's. This blog will talk about a variety of subjects related to emergency preparedness from storing water and food to emergency heating sources. So join me on a journey through the ins and outs of prepping and emergency preparedness.

William Borden's family had money. BIG money. William was the heir to the Borden family fortune -- the same company that at one time was the largest U.S. producer of dairy and pasta products.
William's family wanted him to go into the business -- but he felt God was asking him to become a missionary to China.
He went to Yale...and before he graduated, many of his classmates were meeting regularly for Bible studies. William had influenced them. (He became a Christian through Dwight L. Moody, a rough-and-tumble evangelist who is best known for founding Moody Bible Institute. Many of the songs Moody's leaders used are part of churches' repertoires even today.) William also graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary.
He went to Egypt, to begin training for his work with Muslims in China.
That's the rest of the story...right? William finished, went to China and made a huge impact...
William never made it out of Egypt. He died there, age 25, of spinal meningitis.
His Bible was given back to his parents. In it, they found two words, in William's handwriting:
"No Reserve" -- and a date, shortly after he gave up his fortune to become a missionary.
Two more words:
"No Retreat" -- that date, soon after being diagnosed with meningitis.
And one final phrase:
"No Regrets." Dated just before his death.
The Borden Memorial Hospital operates in Lanzhou, China today because of William. That's only one of the events -- and people -- this man's short life has influenced.
During college, Borden wrote in his journal, "Say 'no' to self and 'yes' to Jesus every time."
Can I do no less?

Hi Ladies –
I've looked through a lot of posts on tipping vendors, and one question that I still have:
I am having two photographers at my wedding, and they are bringing an assistant. All 3 will be fed the same meal as the guests (as stipulated in their contracts). The two photographers own their business.
I've read where people just tip the photographer's assistant, but not the photographer if they own their own business…I guess I feel weird tipping the assistant but not the other two?
What do you guys recommend? Any specific amount? Should we do all 3 lumped together for them to dole out, or just the assistant?

The European Quality In Preclinical Data (EQIPD) project aims to dramatically increase the quality of data collected in pre-clinical studies. Findings from laboratory research often do not translate to success in human studies. Even when the same experiment is carried out in multiple labs, findings from one lab cannot always be replicated in the others. It is often not clear if this is because of as yet undiscovered biological factors, or because of unwanted differences in how the experiments were done. This project will define quality standards such as being able to demonstrate that studies were randomized and blinded, supported by an adequate sample size calculation and that the hypothesis being addressed has been described in advance which will lead to a great increase in the quality and robustness of research.
Role of Noldus
Noldus will embed the quality standards developed in the project in the Quality Assurance Module of its EthoVision XT video tracking and behavioral detection software to make it as easy as possible for researchers using its software to obtain high quality robust data.
This project combines the insights of academic groups studying the problems of drug development, of academic laboratory researchers and of industry-based researchers. Over 20 groups will participate in this €9.5 million 3 years project.
- The pharmaceutical industry partners are Janssen Pharmaceutica, AbbVie, Boehringer Ingelheim, Novartis Pharma, Orion, Pfizer, PsychoGenetics, Institut de Recherches Servier, Hoffmann-La Roche, UCB Biopharma, and Sanofi-Aventis.
- The academic partners include the following universities: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Imperial College London, Groningen, Radboud (Nijmegen), Tübingen, Munich, Berlin Charité, Ludwig-Maximilians, Mainz, and Bern.
- SMEs: Noldus, Porsolt, PsychoGenics, PAASP, Science Exchange and Sylics
EQIPD is funded as part of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), part of the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. IMI is the European Commission's scheme for supporting precompetitive and public-private collaboration in the pharmaceutical industry.

THE local authority is to take action to cut down on the problems faced by heavy goods vehicles trying to exit Manor Street at what is a bottle-neck junction into Castle Street.
There have been a number of occasions in the past when lorries have become sandwiched between the buildings on each side of the road at the junction, with no possibility of emerging into Castle Street. That has meant a long reverse back along Manor Street for some of the vehicles.
Members of Angus infrastructure services committee are meeting today (Tuesday) to consider a permanent restriction on the maximum size of vehicles permitted to use a section of the street.
In his report to committee, Angus director of infrastructure services, Eric Lowson, said: Councillors are being asked to agree to the promotion of a Traffic Regulation Order restricting the length of vehicles permitted to use a section of Manor Street, Forfar.
"Manor Street links Craig O' Loch Road with Castle Street and is generally quite narrow, particularly near its junction with Castle Street.
"This makes the turning movement from Manor Street into Castle Street very difficult for large vehicles.
"That section of Manor Street extending for a distance of 77 metres westwards from its junction with Castle Street is currently subject to an eastwards only one-way traffic restriction.
"This has the effect of prohibiting vehicles entering Manor Street from Castle Street.
"It was recently reported that a large articulated vehicle entered Manor Street from Craig O' Loch Road in the belief that it could access Castle Street by this route.
"The vehicle was too long to make the turn in either direction into Castle Street and, as such, had to reverse the whole length of Manor Street to Craig O' Loch Road.
"In order to avoid this situation arising in the future it is proposed to introduce a prohibition of driving by vehicles exceeding a length of 35 feet (10.7 metres) over that section of Manor Street from a point 30 metres east of its junction with Manor Court eastwards to its junction with Castle Street.
"All vehicles will be permitted on the remaining western section of Manor Street in order to permit access by large vehicles to the existing service yard for the nearby DIY store."
The estimated cost of implementing the proposal is £4,500 and the promotion of an appropriate Traffic Regulation Order will be required.

"The Best" Dried Crumbs and Cubes (From Fresh Bread)
By definition, store-bought bread crumbs are old and stale. So, why use them (or worse, serve them to guests)? For the best bread crumbs, regardless of their ultimate use, always purchase the freshest bread possible and, within twenty-four hours of purchase, if not eaten, make dried bread crumbs or croutons.

The art of cooking is about finding the right ingredients, sharpening your knife skills, enlightening your cooking methods, perfecting the presentation of your creations, etc… Yet there's one important aspect that isn't part of the cooking process, and that aspect is:
An overall sense of enjoyment and accomplishment.
The sense of enjoyment can be read from your guests' actions, as the slight head nods and mild exclamations of "mmmm" suggest approval of the plated masterpieces that's in front of them. This in turn, brings forth a senes of accomplishment to the creator of the culinary masterpieces.
Sure I find cooking fun and exciting, see my cooking blog, but it's the sense of enjoyment expressed by my dinner guests that makes it all worthwhile.

10 Things We Learned from USC's WinOctober 11, 2013
10 Things We Learned from USC's Win
All is well in Trojan land, at least for one night.
Thursday's 38-31 victory over Arizona was just what USC needed to move past the circus that was Lane Kiffin's firing and keep its focus on trying to make the 2013 season a successful one.
While the game was by no means perfect for the Trojans, the overall result was as good as anyone could have hoped for considering the surrounding circumstances.
Here's a look at some things we learned about USC from this game:
Change Is Good
At least for one game, that is.
The firing of Lane Kiffin after the embarrassing 62-41 loss at Arizona State was met with overwhelming cheers by the USC fan base, and it was no surprise the Trojans responded to the change with a win.
But the real determination of whether getting rid of Kiffin will do any good still remains to be seen. USC plays three of its next four on the road, including trips to Notre Dame and Stanford. These two games will truly determine if the season is salvageable or not.
Orgeron Football Is Fun Football
There are going to be plenty of sore arms, legs, feet and shoulders from this game. But for the first time in who knows how long, many Trojans will probably also be suffering from sore cheeks over the next few days from all the smiling that was going on Thursday night.
Credit Ed Orgeron for all those pearly whites flashing on the USC sideline. He said all week he wanted the game to be fun again for the players, and he made that happen, both with his words and his actions, which included plenty of chubby-guy runs up and down the sidelines.
There Could Be a Running Back Controversy
But unlike a quarterback controversy, where you really can only play one guy at a time, having a stable of capable guys who can run the ball should be considered a luxury.
That's what USC appears to have, as five running backs combined for 216 yards on 44 carries. And that's including leading rusher Tre Madden only getting 28 yards on five carries before going down with a hamstring injury.
It seemed at times like each drive had a different featured back for USC, and the result was the same.
Missing Marqise Lee Isn't a Death Sentence
Much was made at how USC would have to rely on mostly untested pass-catchers with Marqise Lee unavailable because of a tweaked knee it. In truth, not having Lee out there probably forced Trojans quarterback Cody Kessler to trust some of the other guys he's worked with in practice.
No one benefited from this more than Nelson Agholor, a sophomore who came into the game with 11 catches but left with another seven receptions (for 161 yards) and a 62-yard TD pass from Kessler for the game's first score.
The Trojans also saw Victor Blackwell perform well early in his first start, while backup tight end Randall Telfer had a key 29-yard catch that set up what ultimately was the deciding score in the game.
Clay Helton Calls a Decent Game
Clay Helton has been on USC's staff for four years now, and this season he was given the role of offensive coordinator to go with his title as quarterbacks coach.
But Thursday night was the first time he actually got to coordinate USC's offense in the game, thanks to Lane Kiffin no longer around to take that job from him. The result was a nice balance of smashmouth running and a more open, yet still not too risky passing game.
Cody Kessler Is Actually Kinda Sorta Decent
Much of the vitriol directed toward Cody Kessler this year could easily be attributed to his being the choice-by-default of Lane Kiffin as USC's quarterback.
But as shaky as he might have looked earlier this season, the way he played in the first half against Arizona makes you think he'd been handcuffed in those previous games. Kessler started the game 7-of-8 and had two long TD passes, manipulating the defense into letting his targets get open, then hitting those wide-open targets.
What else do you want out of a quarterback, really?
Silas Redd Runs Hungry
Silas Redd had a knee procedure the same day his USC teammates were in Honolulu opening the season against Hawaii. That was on Aug. 29.
Six weeks later Redd finally rejoined his buddies on the field and reminded them how much he'd been missed.
In what for most of the game had been a running-back-by-committee approach, the senior assumed the role of go-to guy in the late stages of USC's win and ended up with a team-best 80 yards on 19 carries. None of his runs were more than 12 yards, but each was hard-fought, especially his game-clinching 10-yard run on 3rd-and-8 with under two minutes left.
The Defense Is Getting Worn Down
Through the first four games of the season, the only thing keeping Trojan Nation from completely devouring itself in frustration was the fact USC's defense had looked very good. But after getting run over for 62 points by Arizona State, then after two weeks to regroup allowing 508 yards to Arizona, the defense is starting to look suspect.
Most troubling was how the Trojan defenders managed to make Wildcats quarterback B.J. Denker look somewhat decent, something no other team had done this year.
J.R. Tavai Has a Defensive Beast Mode
With linebacker Morgan Breslin too hurt to play, USC shuffled up his front seven on defense, meaning J.R. Tavai would be called on to fill in some gaps. And the junior responded epicly.
Tavai finished the game with 10 tackles, seven of them solo, and also had 3.5 tackles for loss. He combined with Leonard Williams (team-high 12 tackles) on one of the Trojans' two sacks, and though Arizona tailback Ka'Deem Carey ran for 138 yards it was probably the hardest any back has had to work to get that kind of output.
USC's Defensive Backs Need Stay with Their Guys
Arizona scored three of its touchdowns thanks to its receivers getting behind the defense. That's all on the secondary, which either bit on head fakes from the quarterback or allowed receivers to trick them with double moves and other shifty footwork.
You'd think that wouldn't happen working against a guy like Marqise Lee in practice.

Feels like another heardbreak
My 2 year relationship ended in November and I started dating someone in early Jan. I always knew he didn't want something serious, but my feelings are involved. He's been very honest about everything but he just doens't want a commitment. I don't think it's good for me to be in something very casual considering my state of mind. I'm feeling so sad again. When does it get better? Will I ever meet someone special as it seems everyone else around me is? I don't know who I am sometimes anymore.
It may be too soon for you. I know it was too soon for me. Divorced in November, started a long distance thing with a girl in February, and broke up with said girl in June. It can take a while to get back to yourself, and, until you do that, it's really hard to know what you are looking for in another person.
nov to jan..thats not very long to heal and start over..dont be in aa rush it it'll happen
I think that maybe you were just looking for what you lost in your relationship with him. I worry too about jumping into something so soon. it's hard though to control those feelings.... Hugs and Love to ya!
Yeah, dmg, I know I wasn't quite ready to deal with someone else's baggage. I think a more casual relationship would have suited me better (or no relationship at all).
This relationship was casual, but it's been going on months so feelings have developed. I think I need to trust my gut when it tells me that I could potentially get hurt in this situation esp if he's going to see other people.
Yeah, going with your gut is probably the best idea. I know there are a lot more times that I wish I had and I didn't than there are times I did and wished I hadn't. A lot, lot more. Lol

Our builder gave us three weeks until the house will be finished!! This may not be move in date, because all invoices need to be paid and the last inspection and appraisal will need to be done, BUUUT THREE WEEKS!!!!
Our closing date to start our construction was February 24, 2017 which means we've been building our Custom Built Forever Home for 142 days, about 5 months, and will be finished at our 6 month mark!
I never would have imagined the house would be as beautiful as it is today, and it's not even finished!! Our builder walked the house with us yesterday and couldn't stop saying how much he liked everything we picked in our house, including the paint colors he's never used before! He wants to use our paint colors again because he likes them so much! Hah!
Once we get the shutters on the house and some grass down it will look complete from the outside!!
Another thing I've been having trouble deciding is adding a gable on the top of the garage on the right side of the house. There's a large window there and the gable will cover part of the window if we add it, though the window does not open. Originally the window above the garage was going to be smaller but building code made us go with a bigger window.
The gable would look similar to the picture below, a picture I found on Pinterest.
I've wanted this gable above the garage from the beginning, BUUUT now I'm not sure because of the window being so large and could really use some advice!!
We're going to be picking our shutters on Monday!! Wahoo!!
Originally I wanted stained shutters, but after hearing and reading about all the trouble with wear and tear of wood shutters (and hearing my husband continuously say he wanted vinyl shutters) we decided to get vinyl. He won that battle! Hah!
I really feel the shutters will help tie everything together on the outside. We plan to pick similar shutters to the picture shown below and match the stain color from our cedar columns and shakes with a paint color for the shutters.
Whatcha think?!
Any advice for the gable would be much appreciated!!!

As 2009 draws to a close, my thoughts naturally turn to what I seek to accomplish in 2010. Sure I can rattle off things like losing a few pounds, getting to the gym, being more productive with my time, givng my kids more undivided (no cell phone, no texting) attention. There are all worthwhile endeavors. But I really want to take a moment to take stock of all the good that's taken place in 2009. My kids are healthy, happy, doing well in school and have an active social life with good friends. That, in itself, would be more than enough. But I've been very blessed in the past year. I met a wonderful woman who has made me very happy and I, in turn, strive to make her just as happy. My business ventures are during well especially considering the current economic picture. I have finished my fourth novel which I am very pleased with and proud of. I have my health and a circle of close friends. In short, life is good; very good.
I am very grateful for my good fortune and try as best I can to be deserving of it. May 2010 be just as good and may I be the best person I can be to everyone around me to be worthy of all the good God has bestowed upon me.

He who laughs last…
May 22, 2013 § Leave a comment
At the 2010 Educause National Conference, two colleagues, David Staley and Ken Udas, and I presented "The University as an Agile Organization" (see presentation PDF here). Within the session, we supposed how the organization and operation of a college or university might be enabled–and benefit–through the principles behind the Agile Manifesto, especially in light of various trends in technology, teaching and learning, and management emerging within not only education, but institutions of higher education as well.
In the session, David Staley, offered…
a "university as a networked complex adaptive system is permeable (no formal admissions process); consists of voluntary and self-organizing associations of teachers and students; consists of a self-organizing and intellectually fluid curriculum; does not offer tenure to professors (longevity is determined by the community), who move fluidly between the "real world" and the university; is governed by protocols based on community values and mores rather than on administrative rules and fiats; does not grant diplomas (but does grant certificates); encourages play (and even failure); is governed by "intellectual barter" and makes all knowledge created therein free to anyone; has a fluid temporal structure: there are no "semesters"; teaching and learning are ongoing activities.
I think this just may be the best description I have heard, not for MOOCs specifically, but the environment that has created and allowed MOOC's (and the various MOOC-like organizations that have benefited from their rise, e.g. Coursera, EdX, Udacity), to emerge, not only as a platform, but as an educational development and delivery model.

How many of you wrestle/rough house with your SO?
For those that do, what kinds of things do you do?
How many of you wrestle/rough house with your SO?
For those that do, what kinds of things do you do?
We sometimes tickle fight, but that's about the roughest anything gets.
we fight all the time (like playfully). we shower together everyday, and we have this thing where we act like we're gangsters and bump each other's chests and karaote chop each other. haha. we chase each other around the house. we playfully punch, smack, kick… poke each other in the butthole. HAHA. seriously, anything we think of we do (just in a nice way). it's really fun and we joke and laugh the whole time. we have a really silly relationship (dancing around the house and singing to each other).
WE DO!! and the dog either doesnt like it or wants to join in, we cant really tell! Lol yes its like we are 13, we just play around, its not foreplay at all, I usually end up with a headache from laughing so hard. The dog (our boxer mix) jumps around like a bunny barking at us, we can tell if he is trying to join us or trying to protect me lol hes a nut! Its fun We run around the house and end up on the floor. my husband is usually sitting on my while I squrim around hitting and trying to kick him (plafuly of course, nothing to hard or crazy) meanwhile the doge is barking and trying to bite his hands while doing the bunny hop! haha its a blast!
We do the pretending we're karate masters and kick each other but swat their foot/hand away, we tickle til one person threatens death, and sometimes I just jump on his back and attack him in a very playful 'I am a crazy attacking cat person thing' way. Because we're 13. o.O
We only do in the bedroom, our house isn't big enough to do it any other time. Hah. Usually a combination of pinning down, locking arms, and tickling.
@Future Mrs K: Awww, that's my fave. When you're on the floor playfighting and dogs come up and start getting in your face and try to nibble your ears and stuff to get you to stop. I MISS DOGS. We need to get out of this apt. ugh.
@MrsSanchizel: Um…we are having the same relationship. Although he is usually the one attacking my ass, not the other way around. hahaha
@Future Mrs K: hey!! we have a boxer toooo! and i'm sure he's mixed with something else in his ancestry somewhere. he tries to play with us too!! and when we practice dancing (we take lessons), he jumps up and tries to dance with us. it's so funny!!! he also loves to try to steal the attention by grabbing his toys and prancing around the house!!
Yes, we do! We tickle, wrestle around, chase each other, ect. (Although my husband always lets me win) I still know I am boss! 😉
Yes, all the time, anyway we can think of.
My friends think we are psychos.
We chase, dance, wrestle, bite, pin each other down, all the fun stuff.
Plus f ts intense enough it's a decent workout!
We're 13 here too apparently – we play fight all the time! Like MrsSanchizel we are super silly and have pretend showdowns, tickle fights at least once a day, act like we're going to sit on each other when the other is busy (and actually do it), pretend to climb one another like a tree, all sorts of rediculous physical comedy stuff. Our tickle fights get pretty intense, with us climbing all over each other and chasing each other up and down the house. He can physically hold me down, but he's more vulnerable to tickles so it's pretty even!
As far as "foreplay," we'll sometimes initiate sexy funtimes and it'll degrade into a tickle fight, and we'll be like "OK we're having fun but what are we really doing here?" Hehe love that guy!
oh yeah we play fight all the time, it helps keep us young,haha. In fact, our TV has just broken,so we got a quilt, went to the top of the stairs and had a go at stair skiing on our butts-suprisingly entertaining!were just big kids really!
@kimbo89: Lmao!!!!!
Tickle fights, wrestling for the remote, being a general irritant to eachother. I like the physical challenge of wrestling and figuring out efficient ways of pinning my husband down. It's fun. No need to be serious all the time. I'll quit when I'm dead.
The topic 'Do you rough house?' is closed to new replies.

At this 19th COP, there was only one meeting – moreover, 'just' a non-official side-event- dedicated to the millions of "Climate Induced Displaced Persons" or else known as so-called "Climate refugees". It was a very emotionally charged discussion among representatives of these often forgotten and legally unrecognized people. They debated about hard facts, global climate (in)justice and equity.
The situation of all the people who a forced to leave their homes because of climate change was also discussed in another side-event next day (about Climate Change and Post-2015 Development Action), with almost the same panelists as the day before.
Also the Organization for World Scouts and Guides Movement had a little time at the "Climate change studio" to speak and draw something in solidarity for climate refugees. Very few people showed up and no media was present at all. (See the pictures and video with a 'solution proposed by a scout from the Maledives, an island severely affected by climate change and that might eventually disappear due to rising sea levels.)
Elsewhere in the official programme, there is no title mentioning one of 'climigration' , while it could be "the most severe single impact of climate change" as the IPCC already stated in 1990 in its First Report!
Because the EU is fighting migration at the European borders and is separating itself more and more, on Saturday there will be an action: In front of the Frontex headquarter, we will build a European fortress wall and a sea with black crosses and sunken ships to symbolise the situation at the European borders. This is an initiative by Green Youth Germany and Young Friends of the Earth Germany who are fighting for legal protection of climate refugees and disapprove of the current European asylum policies.
For a deeper analysis of the place migration gets within COP 19, I invite you to read the next blog post below 🙂

Seventeen Days," 3 Doors Down's new Universal/Republic album, debuted at the top of the charts, but it would have been hard to guess that from their performance at the Wiltern Theater Wednesday night. They played to an indifferent aud in a theater only two-thirds filled, and their 50-minute set was received more like a support act than the headliner. (The two-song encore that brought the show to just under an hour felt obligatory.) The only aspect of the show that clued one in to their multiplatinum status was the expensive-looking industrial stage set — but that was a poor choice. With its huge gears and gunmetal ramps, it only served as a reminder that the Mississippi band plays music that sounds factory made.
It's hard to imagine a band with less personality than 3 Doors Down. They're a Republican's idea of what a rock band should be (a notion reinforced by their appearance at one of President Bush's inauguration balls). The fast songs feature the distorted guitars of '90s grunge but without all their messy angst and dissatisfaction. Slower numbers such as "Kryptonite" or the current single "Let Me Go" are cookie-cutter power ballads. They sell a kind of faux rebelliousness: "Duck and Run" may grind like alt-rock, but the lyrics ("I won't turn away/And I won't duck and run/Cause I'm not built that way") read like GOP talking points.
As a singer, Brad Arnold adds little to the band's generic impression, but there is probably not a front man out there so relentlessly on message. He introduces the songs as "my favorite," or the first, second or next single; if he has nothing else to say, his default comment is to call the song "really cool." But except for Arnold and drummer Greg Upchurch, band plays with the bored indifference of clock-punching workers waiting for the 5 p.m. whistle. Upchurch plays with a strenuous energy, but then he's been with the band for only a few weeks, so his enthusiasm could be ascribed to his status as the new guy.

I recently watched "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" and found it hysterically funny. There were many times when I laughed out loud. "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin," as well as the players described in the film made the latest series of "Saturday Night Live" shows look like a somber lesson on how to embalm a someone's grandma. The upstart programmers and engineers, (trying to get rich, of course) were scared to death, and with good reason. I think they either skipped their econ classes or they never studied any economics at all. All of the programmers and "entrepreneurs" (a term to be used lightly in this instance) trying to get rich off bitcoin were only going to get rich if everyone "buys in." Remember, having to "buy in" is the fundamental premise of every Ponzi scheme. Ever. Keep those terms in mind. Ponzi. Buy in.
The investors believe that bitcoin is the second most important thing ever invented, just behind the internet. At one point the value of one bitcoin went from a value of $216 to $71, in just a day. Allow me to explain bitcoin as I understand it. Bitcoin is a digital currency, created by some nerds who want to get rich. Bitcoin, as a digital currency, represents something of value, as in currency. On the whole, bitcoin represents a bunch of geeks and nerds trying to get rich by convincing you that some signal over the internet has some kind of value because they say it has value.
They were made fun of on the playground, in gym class, and in the classroom as often as possible. They're holding all kinds of resentment against everyone who made fun of them, ever. They weren't invited to parties, they didn't go to dances or other social functions. Now they want to make the cover page of Business Week, Forbes, The Atlantic, or The Wall Street Journal, and flout the criticism that they faced growing up, and get rich, of course. Unfortunately, they might make the cover page for the wrong reasons.
The camera doesn't lie, and when many of them get in front of the lens, they are as bad now as they were in the school play in first grade, which was why they had as few speaking parts as possible. They should have taken public speaking along with advanced calculus, because while their algorithms are functional, they aren't very convincing speakers. While being as they are hobbled speakers, their thinly-veiled attempts to get rich while claiming to "helping the average consumer" are as transparent as their computer screens. This is a "get rich quick" Ponzi scheme if I have ever seen one. Who is issuing the money? Well, the geeks are. I see, and because they are issuing the currency, they're going to get rich before anyone else, or at least that's how it seems.
Make no mistake about it, we are at a turning point in history. Before, the incompetent nerd (who you really couldn't figure out how they even got hired on unless it was someone they knew or were related to) who designed things on that didn't work because they had no practical experience used the phrase "it looked good on paper" when it didn't work. We have entered a new era. The new mantra for some wacky idea generated by an overpaid under-experienced desk jockey is "it looked good on the computer screen." We've traded "it looked good on paper" for "it looked good on the computer screen." The more things change, the more they stay the same.
National currencies are manipulated by the states that issue the currency, while bitcoin, being international, doesn't have that problem. Bitcoin will turn the entire world currencies into a single honestly-traded non-manipulated international currency. Bitcoin wants to return money to the people, and away from the state, and that sounds great, as long as the nerds who invented it get rich. But, given all of the hacking, given all of the fake news, false information, and personal agendas that one finds on the internet, the idea that we're going to have an international currency that will be internet honest is almost as hysterically funny as a Robin Williams soliloquy.
Blinded, as they were, by the idea that they'd get rich, the bitcoin entrepreneurs who understood quite little about economics, securities or banking laws, proceeded down what they considered to be the boulevard of wealth, when it was an alley of corruption and frustration. In the meantime, governments, especially the U.S., began to notice the exchanges and issued several pronouncements regarding the digital currency. One of the bitcoin startups, BitInstant, because of lack of understanding of securities law, was closed down (by the federal authorities) and was gone in less than four years.
It turned out that bitcoin was used extensively on the Silk Road, which was an internet source for illegal substances, stolen property, and all manner of things illegal, immoral or fattening. Ross William Ulbricht, founder of the now defunct Silk Road, is serving life in prison. Bitcoin had some bad publicity because of the anonymity that bitcoin offered for the criminals using the Silk Road, and use it they did. The use of bitcoin for illegal purposes didn't help matters. While ubernerd Ross William Ulbricht got rich off the Silk Road, he also got thrown in jail for life, not something the bitcoin nerds are trying to achieve. In the movie, a drug dealer admits to using bitcoin quite a bit as well. It seems bitcoin is already the choice of thieves worldwide; what an accomplishment. The law of unintended consequences kicks in again.
This reminds me of the time when the U.S. tried to switch to the metric system. The American people stubbornly refused to accept meters, be they centimeters, decimeters, kilometers or any others. Towards the end of the movie, one of the commentators, a professor of finance, stated that "there is a really good reason why we have central banks." The reality is that the people are not ready for a currency of their own, despite all of the efforts of the computer nerds and geeks trying to get rich by offering the public a freedom that they neither understand nor could use to any substantial advantage over the present system. The most amusing aspect of the film, besides their inability to explain bitcoin to any degree of simple understanding, was the nerds' unmitigated greed and belief that they had found a gold mine in a pile of circuits and wires, like so many of their fellow geeks had done; as well as the fact that they convinced each other of replacing value with circuits which, unfortunately for most of the nerds, had little value.
Like all of the defunct search engines and social websites of the early internet, we have empty offices and a bunch of disappointed geeks who cannot believe that their brilliant idea didn't get traction. Bitcoin may only be missing a Bezos or a Zuckerberg, and maybe that leader is somewhere on the horizon, but there are entrenched interests who trade in international securities every day, as well as states that manipulate their currency on a regular basis. While the currency manipulation sounds bad, having "value" generated by computer geeks, along with the corruption and hacking that the internet has experienced, bitcoin sounds like a button few people are willing to push. The nerds would do well to invent another Amazon or some such. International currency is a tall order, and despite the fairness they claim they bring, most international currency exchanges are fairly satisfying to those who trade, and despite the nerds' help of the smaller players in that market, the smaller players are not influential enough to give bitcoin the foothold it needs. They would have known that if they had taken some econ courses.
I like the concept. It seems beyond the ability of governments to manipulate--for better or worse. There is no centralized control. The exchange is direct. But, as you say, it is vulnerable to fraud. As I understand it, there are 21 million BitCoins, and, according to the BitCoin website, that can never change. Never is a long time. There was one breach where 184 billion BitCoins were created. It is also dependent on having the proper digital certificate to trade. One guy claimed that his BitCoins vaporized when his hard drive crashed. The downside is that if you coins are stolen, you are SOL.
Paying fees is optional. I can see that changing. Not sure who gets the fees. The more fees you pay, the higher priority you get for the exchange.
It's highly volatile. Kim Jong-Un has increased its value as a safe haven. Seems to be a great hedge, if you know what you are doing.
Yes, Leroy, bitcoin says it is limited to 21 million. Who made that and why? Who is to say the bitcoins issued to you are authentic bitcoins and not fakes? This whole thing is a bunch of nerds trying to get rich who didn't take enough econ classes. Not to mention law classes, and several of them have gotten on the wrong side of the law, which is no surprise to me, as the legal holes in their theories are big enough to drive a truck through. That is, of course, if there were trucks on the internet. Yes, there is some bitcoin remaining, but it is more of a novelty than anything else. It's a Ponzi scheme. Don't buy in. They need your money to start their money, because their money is wires and circuit boards, while your money represents something.
The other thing is that the nerds think everyone on the world will have a device with which they can make transactions. I'm betting internet service deep in the Amazon forest will never be very good, but maybe not. Perhaps the natives who have populated these obscure areas will experience a "tech boom." Given the glacial pace of the technical development of these populations, I have that very low odds of occurring.
You might be right, Jeff. However, I believe they wanted to circumvent the governments' control of money. That's the end game. I could be wrong, but I don't see how they profit, except for the initial owners of the bits. There seems to be controls in place, but I have confidence the US government or China's or Russia's could screw the hold thing up. It's a lot like Uber. Governments will find a way to screw up a good idea.
I have in other essays demonstrated the difference between designing and producing something like an automobile versus designing a piece of software and reaping the rewards. Software is astronomically more profitable, as it can be reproduced with the push of a few buttons, while producing a car takes thousands of skilled people, not to mention time and investment. The biggest thing that I saw, and the common denominator of all the nerds, dweebs and geeks in the movie, was a thinly veiled determination to become a billionaire, like Gates, Zuckerburg, or Bezos.
I understand greed is a great motivator, no dispute there. None of them explained what they were going to do for humanity when they got rich off bitcoin. If they were that determined to succeed, they would have had enough securities lawyers on their payroll to bury any charges in measures that indicated an intrinsic legal philosophy. They didn't, and they moved offshore to avoid criminal prosecution by the U.S. Just because you can write code does not give you free rein in the economy, especially the securities market. More lawyers would have served them well.
Good post. I couldn't believe that anyone bought into the Bitcoin scam, but I've never believed in on-line money transfers of any kind. I still write paper checks, but of course my bank depends on electronic money, as do all the others.
All central banks are Ponzi schemes, according to me, which is probably why George Romey predicts their collapse. Right, George? I'm amazed that there is an international, institutionalized push to do away with cash in favor of electronics. We all hear about cyber-hacking, and what's more attractive to hackers and trackers than on-line financial records, bank accounts, securities, and transfers?
Also, electronic technology, for all its advantages, is unreliable. Computers crash when you need them most.
If you look at incentives, such as--most recently--Visa's offering incentives to restaurants who refuse cash, you will see how pervasive this mind-set is. Modi in India suddenly making large notes illegal. The case in urban China of the guy whose cash was virtually worthless because everyone else used debit and charge cards. I could go on. Cash has become suspect, especially in large amounts, because of its connection to illegal activity. It is virtually untrackable.
I could go on. Enough said for now.
The governments have attempted for years to control currency because of all of the things bought with cold hard cash, such as illegal drugs, booze, and other "services" provided by the immoral, illegal and fattening service sector. What if the nerds, dweebs and geeks had pitched the bitcoin deal as being traceable for purchase of criminal tools and illegal substances? Bitcoin was used by the Silk Road almost as soon as anyone would take a bitcoin for payment.
Unfortunately, the search for riches blinded the nerds, dweebs and geeks to the ultimate selling point to the government. They had the ultimate tracking device for the purchase of illegal goods or services, and that was bitcoin. Instead of touting what all good could be done for the government by bitcoin, they tried to sell it as an alternative currency. I sincerely believe that had they pitched the deal as a benefit to the government to track and tax the underground economy, they would have been much more successful.
You make it sound like the desire to get rich is a bad thing. The fact of the matter is that the creators of Bitcoin will get richer if the currency is widely adopted. For the currency to be widely adopted people need to believe/trust it will always have a similar amount of value compared to other currencies they could choose to hold.
Based on the fact governments all over the world are running deficits and are financing their deficits by printing more money, the bar has been set very low. For example, in Zimbabwe they started printing 100 trillion dollar bills and soon after the currency was abandoned. So I would totally understand a Zimbawean choosing to receive bitcoins over their own currency.
The fact the owners of Bitcoin are getting rich is a small price to pay for the security in knowing bitcoins could be used to pay the rent, buy loaf of bread or converted into dollars. The creators of bitcoin deserve to get rich if they create a currency that holds its value and can be easily exchanged for whatever goods and services one desires.
I can totally understand the people of Zimbabwe wanting to use bitcoin, and the nerds and geeks spoke of helping those troubled people, but they never went anywhere like that to promote their product as being helpful to those citizens, (or the citizens of any other impoverished nation) probably because they weren't able to get rich off the Zimbabweans.
"The fact the owners of Bitcoin are getting rich is a small price to pay for the security in knowing bitcoins could be used to pay the rent, buy loaf of bread or converted into dollar." What security? A promise by someone on the other end of the internet? Thomas, if you believe in promises like that, I have some Nigerian bankers who have several million dollars that an uncle you never knew you had left you in their bank. Thomas, Please send me you email and I will hook you up with the bankers who, for a small fee, will send you the millions that your long-lost relative left you. If you believe in the empty promises of people on the internet, I have a lot of people who can help you get rich; just let me know.
I take it, Jeff, that you are in favor of a cashless society where the government can track every penny you spend and receive.
I would love to have an alternative currency; I just don't trust BitCoin. Even if I did, then I would have to be concerned with fraud. But, I love the idea. I distrust the government. I need a store of value. I could buy gold stocks, but they can be controlled by government decree. Someone like O could wipe out my meager savings overnight. I could by gold. The government has regulated the price and could do so again. I could trade on the black market, but then I would have to take physical possession. There are businesses popping up all over that allow you to take physical possession at a place stored near you. I'm sure the government is well aware of them and could block your access to it. I really don't want to hide it under my mattress. All I am looking for it a store of value for my hard earned savings. I don't trust the Swiss banks either. The US government has already shown how it can lean on them. I suspect some nerd with solve that problem.
I have to stick up for the nerds and geeks. Perhaps I am one myself. I trust nerds and geeks more than I do the government. I don't begrudge anyone for their ability.
Agreed about the commodity money. Food works, too. Donald Swenson has written a lot about bartering in countries, like Venezuela, where the money is scarce and inflated.
The nerds are only following Wall Street's example. Stock churning, selling short, currency trading, and other gimmicks designed to extract as much value as possible for the least effort and risk, is the name of the game. High stakes gamblers with other people's money. The geeks are only symptoms of a widespread phenomenon.
There are no safe havens, which is why I'm downsizing and angling for cash flow over hoarded wealth. Any kind of on-line money transactions are fraught with risk, and Bitcoins especially so, according to me. But I wonder if people in Zimbabwe could afford even one bitcoin. They are so expensive, only people with money can afford them. They are useless if there's nothing of value to buy.
I think it's illusion to trust these get-rich-quick scams, but gambling is addictive, especially when you're empowered by other people's money. The house always wins, whether it's the stock market or the state lotteries.
I believe if the government set a better fiscal example, more Americans would shape up, but the current thinking seems to be that you have to cheat to win, and you must win at all costs.
The market was designed to provide funding for businesses, but that was long ago. As I have said, we have people making hundreds of millions of dollars who are producing nothing that can be used, not worn, watched, lived-in, enjoyed, driven, nothing. A few bucks, OK, but not hundreds of millions.
It seems the people who control the automated trading algorithms have read your artice ...
Bitcoin Down $500 Overnight
The bartering concept, it being the first ever means of trading anyway, is very stable as it relies on the actual products, raw or with applied labour precessing. The dot com millionaires and all of that came out of nothing at all, just abstract and the convincing of the people to,use this or that. And social media provides the vehicle for tailored marketing and profiling so it is attractive to product sellers of course.
The new currency then is abstract manipulation of people to buy into concepts which trails along certain products. Scary. But the art of delusion has been around since year dot. A bottle of salts to cure all ills or slippers with diamonds from Solomon's mines or whatever. The vehicle has changed but the fundaments are the same.
Katharine, I was surprised to read that you actually still use paper cheques! Long gone on the other side of the pond!
Decades. Every time you write a check, you expose your account number, perhaps more.
I just read a 4-day old article on the profitability of BitCoin miners. It is intensely competitive. It depends on how fast you can solve mathematical problems; i.e., it depends on how fast your computers are. Most anyone can be a miner and how much you are paid depends on how much you (your computers) do. An example estimated the profit (at the current BitCoin price) of one of the most prolific BitCoin miners. For his services, it is estimated that he makes a whopping $333 a month. We need laws to prevent these dweebs from making outrageous profits living in their parents' basement. They will all be billionaires in only a quarter of a million years! And all they contribute is their brains and computer. They are a drag on society and part of the Wall Street corruption. Soon, they will have our politicians in their pockets.
The Rise of the Nerds must be stopped now before it is too late!
There is a world of difference between people who have skin in the game and are trying to protect themselves from excessive losses and people who have a computer that reads a trade one-ten-thousandth of a second before the trade reaches the trading floor (which is no longer a floor but a bunch of circuit boards) and takes that knowledge to make a trade that will make them money. The markets were never meant for that, and that is who I am talking about.
What Clinton did is criminal and should have been prosecuted. There is a difference between trading on inside information and exploiting an opportunity to make a profit.
Actually, out of interest in terms of the historical perspectives and its contemporary equivalents, are you aware of the first ever stock market crash in history? And that the currency was........er...tulips?!
Yep. Tulips. 17th century, first ever bubble...and it crashed spectactularly. But, the very fact that people invested in them and paid prices higher than they would for houses tells the tale of apparent inordinate delusion. Think of that! A tale of tulips and Amsterdam, the founding fathers of New Amsterdam..or New York.
History repeats itself....
I see. Nerds, dweebs, and geeks are corrupt and that is why you dislike them.
Enter the flash traders, who, as stated, place trades in microseconds in order to make money. These are the geeks, nerds and dweebs who are not speculators, they are simply taking notice of what other people are doing and making moves in microseconds before the orders of other people are processed. This is not speculation of the part of the geeks, dweebs and nerds, it is corruption, making a move based on inside information, be it a microsecond before another market order is executed. Again, corruption, not speculation, but simply taking information and making an order a microsecond before the existing order is executed.
If I speculate in hog bellies, I bought them from someone, and I will sell them to someone. The dweebs, geeks and nerds of bitcoin want to issue money and make money by simply issuing money, creating money out of wires and circuit boards which most countries will not allow, especially the U.S. Bitcoin is not speculation, it is more of a Ponzi scheme where everyone else pitches in the money and the dweebs, nerds and geeks get rich creating nothing of value, and having no skin in the game. If bitcoin makes money, they make money with little or no investment, other than the programs that they write to benefit mostly themselves. This is not the kind of greed that is good, it lines only their pockets, and I am happy to see them shut down and arrested by the authorities who see it as it is, and that is printing money when they are not a sovereign nation and have no right to do so.
I mostly use cash. Don't have a credit card or ATM since they were stolen. Don't plan to travel soon. Paper checks are for utility bills, phone, and the like.
I wish you would distinguish between "farmers" and "the farming industry," because their interests are diametrically opposed. Archer Daniels Midland is on my hit list because of the ethanol mandate. That corporate welfare scam is a pox on the planet. Commodities speculation hurts the little guy
Comparing quant traders to the postal service is like comparing peanuts to bulldozers.
"Comparing quant traders to the postal service is like comparing peanuts to bulldozers. "
Aren't both information? Isn't it about the delay? Isn't it about "nerds" coding and doing no real work, using brain power alone? Sounds apt to me.
But it is a characteristic of the human condition, not just of our era.
Jeff, how could things be different, as in, in your view, regulated or fair or at least accountable?
From the internet: "Knight Capital sent millions of child orders, resulting in 4 million executions in 154 stocks for more than 397 million shares in approximately 45 minutes. Knight Capital took a pre-tax loss of $440 million. This caused Knight Capital's stock price to collapse, sending shares lower by over 70% from before the announcement. The nature of the Knight Capital's unusual trading activity was described as a "technology breakdown".
This is too dangerous, and, as noted can cause millions of dollars to disappear in less than a second. I'm all for high-tech trading, but there has to be some limits. The other thing is that the flash traders can cause the market to shut down, limiting whatever trades I wanted to make- the market should be free and not determined by people like that. And Knight had the stones to ask for their money back!
In Terms of Knight Capital, who allowed them to get bailed out for their own shenanigans? The same system that bailed out the banks in the 2008 crash.
What is your practical application here?
The fast computer trades have already shut down the market once. The algorithms only need one small problem in them to set off a disaster in the markets, and the probability of that happening again is very high. We are walking into a disaster with our eyes wide open, fully aware that one small glitch will topple the market and set off a chain reaction that will cause millions of not billions of losses, let alone closing the markets for an indeterminate amount of time.
The market is playing with fire, and it is only a matter of time before a lot of (innocent) people get burned. I'm suggesting that we avoid this inevitable disaster. The practical application is that no one should be able to make a trade until known orders are executed, but again, they couldn't make money if they did it that way. When the disaster happens, there will be finger pointing, and hopefully, a lot of regulators will be fired, for allowing an impending disaster and making no provisions to stop it. This is like letting children play with guns.
Blockchain. That is the brilliance. Decentralized medium of exchange.
That's why the Rothschilds, owners of the world's central banking system are so vehemently against it.
If blockchain is so inherently wrong why are the Winklevoss brothers investing so heavily in a decentralized version? Who are they fronting for? Why have the Chinese government spent so much on it?
The guy bought eight coins at $7,200 and sold them for $120,000. He owes $50,000 in taxes. The problem is that he has already blown all the money. He's feeling the Bitter Bite of Bitcoin.

Dan, Lyle, Bob,
The Winter Kart Show (http://www.Winterkartshow.com) is Sunday, January 26th 2014. We have set-up and Vendor's only show on Saturday. There is a BIG racing show in Indy on Saturday and lots of helmet and parts vendors can't make both days. The one day show seems to work best. I think a 10 X 10 was $175.00 and a 20 X 20 was $250.00. 50% was all NEW items, 25% was Series and Track info and 25% was SWAP. We have 40,000 square feet. I plan to update the website soon, right now getting ready for the Route66 race at Mid-State. Right now Laukaitis, VKP, Kartlift, Streeter, Margay, Top Kart, Franklin have all given verbal commitments to display new products. FYI, last year we had an Indy Car and a local NASCAR driver's cars on display. It was fun.
September 4, 2013 at 10:27 am #8951
I invented the Winter Kart Show as an alternative to the KMI show. I thought it would provide a place for the karters to see what's new. We moved into a very nice facility with room for everyone. I made the booths very cheap in hope to attract the entire karting community. Each year since I started this we have doubled in size. I hope this next year is just as successful. I attend the PRI show every year with hope to speak with Vendors about the Winter Kart Show, the PRI is for Industry Professionals only. Not open to the public. Last year with NO KART race saw almost no kart displays. I was told by vendors that paid for both shows that the Winter Kart Show was a better venue for the price. We had close to 1000 karters walk through our door that bought items vs 50,000 non-karters who were not interested.
January 9, 2014 at 6:54 pm #19320
Kart Brands who have registered for the show:
American Made : Margay, I-Kart, Victory
Italian Made: Merlin, Birel, Corsa, Italikart, DR, TOP Kart

Spring means graduation. And graduation means cake. Lots of cake.
And cupcakes.
(Graduation also means parties of sweet friends.)
And spring means flowers. Lots of flowers.
Of course, Spring means Mother's Day. And I whipped up this little ditty for my lovely mother.
I know Summer is just around the corner. But for now, I'm enjoying all aspects of Spring.

babies everywhere
spring has sprung at the homestead. wow the difference a week makes. the new rabbit delivered three new babies this week and the turkey mamas produced five babies as a joint venture. the turkeys laid all the eggs in one big pile and when ready to sit them they stole which eggs they wanted for themselves and formed three piles that were next to each other. they are still trying to sit the other eggs when not chasing the five hatching's. so the babies have three mamas trying to contain them at any given moment. its more than any baby should have to put up with. they are up and moving and driving all the mamas crazy. the tom turkeys are still pouting outside the pen. the rabbit is a mini Rex and papa is jacks 4-H rabbit, its breed is a mini too and the mama produced two fat black bunnies like her and one black and white bunny like papa. they are fat and wiggly, i don't expect them to be in the box for long, eyes will open this week then mama will be busy. the new fish are enjoying the pond and we have started an aquaponic system with several of the fish for the green house. I'm hoping the system will keep us in salad greens for the year. it gets too hot for lettuce and greens to stay in the ground thru the summer here. so we will try something new. the chickens are free ranging and always under foot looking for food scraps. they are misguided in thinking that every time i exit the house i have something for them. oh and a new adventure, worms. that falls in Barry's department, a girl has got to know her limits. have a great week and send me a post or a comment. lets chat.

|By Richard E. Baldwin, The Buffalo News,
N.Y.McClatchy-Tribune Regional News
March 23, 2010 --NIAGARA FALLS -- The 391-room Crowne Plaza Hotel on Third Street -- which had fallen behind on payments of its taxes, mortgage and other debts -- was reclaimed today by its mortgage lender, Gramercy Investment Trust of New York.
The hotel, in which the state invested $6 million about four years ago, has been under the control of a court-appointed receiver while it was in foreclosure. However, it has continued to operate, and today's foreclosure sale is not expected to have any immediate effect on its operations.
Gramercy Trust purchased the hotel at the foreclosure auction. The lender had started foreclosure proceedings on its $30 million mortgage in March 2009.
The hotel, which is near Niagara Falls State Park and across Third Street from the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, underwent a $21 million public-private investment to renovate the property in 2006 and 2007. Its owner, NS Partners, bought the property for $14.5 million and updated it from a Holiday Inn Select. A sports bar and grill were added at that time.
Empire State Development Corp., the state's economic development agency in the Falls, contributed a $6 million grant for the renovation.
The foreclosure proceeding began just a few months after Namwest, one of the two partners that owns NS Partners, filed for financial reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Law. NS Partners, a partnership between Namwest and Sentry Hospitality, was not included in Namwest's bankruptcy filing.
Namwest is a Phoenix-based developer that primarily has developed condominiums and other properties in Arizona.
Since the Crowne Plaza was not included in Namwest's bankruptcy filing, Sentry Hospitality has continued to manage the hotel during its own foreclosure proceeding.
