Should I Watch Fear the Walking Dead If I Gave Up on The Walking Dead? Your Pressing TV Questions, Answered
Plus: Are there "red flag" shows and fandoms?
Get stay tuned delivered every week.
Welcome back to Stay Tuned, Vulture's TV advice column. Each Wednesday, Margaret Lyons answers whatever TV questions are weighing on your heart. Well, your TV heart, anyway. To submit your own questions, you can email email@example.com, leave a comment, or tweet @margeincharge with the hashtag #staytuned.
With all the new promos for Fear the Walking Dead, would you suggest just jumping back onto the zombie-bashing wagon with the L.A.-based project that looks like it deals with the urgency of a societal collapse better than TWD-prime (or, for that matter, The Strain, but that's a completely different story) ever did? I'm still kind of burned from the Gilligan's Island–ing of the original that I'm scared that I'll be trapped in another bummer zombie show. —Rupert
Nope, I did not care for Fear the Walking Dead one bit. I wanted to love it, because I think TWD has a thrilling premise but limited success in its execution, which makes it a perfect candidate for a spinoff. Alas, alas. If you want material that deals with the urgent risk of societal collapse in the face of some kind of outbreak, I passionately recommend listening to Epidemics in Western Society Since 1600. (It's a Yale course you can listen to, à la podcasts, for free.) Usually I stick to TV recommendations in this space, but holy smokes, this class knocked my socks off. It's a combination of the history of medical discovery and an overview of how Western societies imagine and approach disease; the information itself is interesting, but the clarity and structure of the lectures is what really sold me on it. If there's a part of you in the overlapping space on the Venn diagram of "I miss my favorite professors from college" and "I want Fear the Walking Dead to be good," this is your jam.
I skipped Mr. Robot all season because it was on USA, and I've hated every other USA show. But I just checked it out and really enjoyed it. At this point, how much can I rely on a network's "sensibility" to help guide my show choices? —N
I think you're seeing this as an example of the current system not working, but from where I'm sitting, this looks like an example of the system working just fine: You thought you wouldn't like it, but people (Friends? Vulture? Just the vibe of the summer?) convinced you to give it a try, so you did, and now you're down. That's a totally viable model!
The reason it feels off is that USA's "sensibility" right now seems to be in flux. I don't know what WWE programming, Chrisley Knows Best, and Satisfaction really have in common. Plus, Mr. Robot is an unusual show. I'm not sure what feels like a right fit for it — Showtime, sorta, maybe? AMC a few years ago? FX?
Shows are not people; they are not entitled to "fair" treatment; guilt by association is completely legit in the "what should I watch?" arena. If you don't usually watch Lifetime, of course it'll take some convincing to give UnREAL a go — and if you think, No, I'll never watch another ABC show after what happened to Lost, well, that's massively stupid, but there's plenty of other stuff to watch.
I really liked the way Switched at Birth so prominently featured its deaf characters. I've seen other deaf characters, like Marlee Matlin's previous role on The West Wing and Silas's girlfriend Megan on Weeds, but watching Hannibal this season and seeing the introduction of blind love interest/prospective victim Rutina Wesley, I realized that I don't remember any other blind characters having extended arcs in TV before. Can you recommend any shows doing real, grounded writing for blind characters? —Caleb
Daredevil is a good start. I was not super into the show, but many other people whose tastes I otherwise agree with dig it. In terms of its blindness credentials, though, the show gets high marks: Star Charlie Cox won the American Foundation for the Blind's Helen Keller Achievement Award, and he worked closely with the AFB's Joe Strechay in preparation for the role. (I tend to believe in a "nothing about us without us" model for representation, especially when performers and creators are not part of the group being depicted.)
In recent history, there was Auggie (Chris Gorham) on Covert Affairs — apparently his cane is on the short side, but he's an otherwise robust character. In a totally different vein, there's Toph on Avatar: The Last Airbender, and while I wouldn't call that show "real" or "grounded," it has internal integrity, which anchors the show in emotional if not literal truths.
Honestly, there aren't many blind characters on TV — and very few are played by blind actors. There's Butchie on The Wire, played by S. Robert Morgan, but before that, I think you have to go all the way back to MacGyver to find a significant role for a blind actor playing a blind character. And even then, actor Dana Elcar was sighted when he was cast.
My mom is currently halfway through season two of Parks and Rec and has already declared it her all-time-favorite show. As someone who's watched a disproportionate amount of NCIS in all its iterations to keep up with my parents' viewing habits, I'm loving the nightly phone calls that bring me back to Pawnee (even if I am a little jealous that she gets to see it all for the first time). Friends used to be appointment viewing in our house, and I'm loving having another show to share with them. Any ideas what I should spend years convincing them to watch with me next? —Katherine
The Office fits the bill, and it chronologically bridges the gap between Friends and P&R in the NBC Thursday lineup. It starts strong — depending on your appetite for cringe humor, I suppose — but loses its way around season six, so don't feel like you and your mama have to commit to the entire run. There's also My Name Is Earl, which has more of P&R's earnestness. 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt might also work.
How bawdy are your folks? If they're okay with foul language, Veep pairs surprisingly well with P&R. They're philosophical opposites, but functionally have a lot in common.
Are there any TV-show fandoms that indicate a person might not be worth your time? For example, in retrospect, dating someone (or sometwo) who made me watch Sons of Anarchy should have been a red flag. Which shows should make you wary of opting in to a relationship? —Lauren
Don't date people who "make" you watch anything, friend. (I don't want to have to bust out the shame button for you.) There are plenty of lovely SOA fans out there, and plenty of dirtbag fans of Antiques Roadshow.
But sure, there are a few red flags: People whose TV tastes begin and end with The Wire are not good companions if you're someone who wants to watch a lot of TV. The Wire is amazing, and it is certainly among the top candidates for the title of "best show ever," but if that's the be-all, end-all of your TV taste, that's akin to saying your favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye. It's a great, life-changing book for many, many people! But saying it is your favorite might also indicate that you have not read that many books since high school. We should all watch The Wire. But you cannot live on The Wire alone.
Red flag No. 2 would be anyone who's pushy about what you should like. "You should watch Game of Thrones!" "Oh, I don't like that show." "No, you need to watch it." People get, oh, one or maybe two chances to advocate for their faves, but the harder someone pushes you to replace your judgment with their judgment, the more likely it is that that does not end with TV decisions. This falls under "general dickishness," I guess.
Differing tastes is not a deal-breaker: I find all Real Housewives shows except for season one of RH: Atlanta to be abhorrent and genuinely bad for society, but plenty of people I love adore and obsess over these shows. I get why people think Grey's Anatomy is a bad show, or at least one past its prime, but I'm in it for life. The biggest red flag for me would be someone who couldn't find joy or intrigue or comfort or virtue in television at all. Perish the thought.

Regional brokerage and investment banking firm Stifel Financial Corp.'s second quarter results took a hit as the firm wrestled with ongoing legal issues, while its global wealth management business' revenue fell from the first quarter with decreased trading volumes.
Stifel's overall unaudited net income was $3.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the second quarter, down from $21.1 million, or $0.40 per share in the second quarter of 2010. At the same time, revenue fell 2.1% from the first quarter to $358.9 million. But with second quarter revenue still up 9.4% compared to the same period in 2010, when it was $328 million, performance has still improved from last year, the firm said.
"Second quarter results improved over the year ago period, but were impacted by a challenging market environment dominated by macroeconomic factors, and significant non-core expenses primarily related to additional legal reserves," Stifel Financial Chairman, President and Chief Executive Ronald J. Kruszewski said in a statement.
"Despite these factors, our investment banking group generated their second best revenue quarter, which was offset by pressure in our brokerage and private client business due to a lack of investor conviction," he said.
Stifel's overall performance in the second quarter was weighed down by ongoing legal issues. The firm is currently wrangling with charges related to certain notes it sold, including civil litigation with five southeastern Wisconsin school districts. A related regulatory investigation is also ongoing. Those legal costs, as well as merger costs tied to Thomas Weisel Partners Group Inc., reduced net income by $27.9 million.
Stifel's global wealth management business saw its net revenue slip to $225.6 million, down from $238.4 million in the first quarter as trading volumes decreased, the firm said in its earnings release on Monday. But the results were an improvement over the same quarter one year ago, which had net revenue of $199.9 million.
Stifel's wealth management business' revenue decline from the first quarter was the result of lower trading volume, and subsequently lower revenue from commissions and principal transactions.
Stifel attributed that increase in net revenue from 2010 to higher commission revenue with increased client assets and productivity, more asset management and service fees and greater equity underwriting sales credits. The firm credited the acquisition of Thomas Weisel Partners with providing more contributions toward its asset management and service fees.
The firm's global wealth management unit includes the private client group, which had $213.5 million in net revenue for the second quarter, a 7% decrease from the first quarter and 12% increase from the second quarter of 2010. That unit also includes Stifel Bank, which had $12.1 million in net revenue, up 36% from the first quarter and also up 36% from the same quarter last year.
Stifel Financial's institutional brokerage revenue came in at $73.2 million for the second quarter, down 19% from the first quarter and 17% from the second quarter of 2010. The firm's investment banking business was a bright spot in its second quarter results, where revenue surged to $58 million, up 65% from the first quarter and up 62% from the same period last year.

A complete knee replacement is needed when a knee is very stiff and painful to the degree that it interferes with even simple daily activities and other treatments are ineffective, according to WebMD. This operation is usually only performed for individuals over 50 whose knee problems arise from osteoarthritis.Continue Reading
Complete knee replacement means that all the bone that makes up the knee joint is cut out and replaced with a prosthetic made of plastic or metal, WebMD explains. The new parts for the artificial joint are joined to the remaining femur, shin bones and kneecap using cement or other special materials. Usually this requires a large incision across the front of the knee, although techniques have been developed that allow for much smaller incisions. Once replaced, the knee relies on the same muscles and connective tissues for support that the old knee did.
Knee replacement generally results in a dramatic improvement of symptoms, states WebMD. The hospital stay after surgery is usually between three and five days. Standing and walking is usually possible the day after surgery, but walking often requires devices to assist such as a walker or crutches. Physical therapy is usually prescribed and is very helpful in regaining full function from the new knee.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

Ronnie does not need to return to MD Anderson until June. Thank you for your prayers. Please keep Fr. Ronnie in your prayers! Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, pray for us!
January 10, 2018

The doctors said that the cancer is still very aggressive and serious. Fr. Ronnie will take two months off from receiving chemotherapy and then return to Houston to meet with doctors for the next steps. Thank you for your prayers. Please keep Fr. Ronnie in your prayers! Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, pray for us!
December 28, 2017
After not being able to receive chemotherapy on the previous two visits in December, Fr. Ronnie was able to receive his sixth and final round of chemotherapy. Fr. Ronnie will return to Houston after New Years to meet with doctors to see how his cancer has responded to the chemotherapy. Please keep Fr. Ronnie in your prayers!
December 18, 2017
Fr. Ronnie traveled to MD Anderson for his sixth round of chemotherapy this week. The doctors decided not to do the chemotherapy due to a low white blood cell count. Fr. Ronnie will return to Houston after Christmas to receive his next treatment. Please keep Fr. Ronnie in your prayers!
December 5, 2017
Fr. Ronnie traveled to MD Anderson for his sixth round of chemotherapy this week. The doctors decided not to do the chemotherapy this week due to a bladder infection. Fr.

November 13, 2017
Fr. Ronnie received his fifth round of chemotherapy yesterday. The treatment went well and Fr. Ronnie is home from Houston. Please keep Fr. Ronnie in your prayers!
October 23, 2017
Archbishop Rodi drove Fr. Ronnie to visit with doctors at MD Anderson to get an update on how the cancer was responding to the chemotherapy. The tumors in the lymph nodes shrank in response to the chemotherapy. The doctor reported that the cancer in the bones is stable, but it will take more time to see if the chemotherapy is able to shrink the cancer.
When Fr. Ronnie returns to MD Anderson in three weeks, he will undergo more testing to see how the cancer in the prostate is responding to the treatment. Fr. Ronnie will continue receiving the chemotherapy through December and then take a break for a few months. During the break, he will continue being tested every three months.
Overall, the visit was encouraging. While the doctor was encouraged by the test results, however, she also reiterated that the cancer is not curable except through divine intervention. Please continue to pray for Fr. Ronnie!
October 3, 2017

September 3, 2017
Fr. Ronnie responded well to his first round of chemotherapy with little side effects. He is scheduled to return to MD Anderson in a week for his second round of chemotherapy.

As he begins this challenging journey, we invite all people of faith to join us in praying for him, for his doctors, nurses, and medical staff, for his family members and friends, and for all who have experienced God's love and mercy through his priestly ministry during the last 40 years.

5 Bottom Line Reasons to Put Women in Charge
April 25th is Equal Pay Day, and you may be wondering if a woman gets paid the same as a man will it yeild the same economic result.
Why not share the real economic reasons to boost the sense of urgency behind hiring and promoting women by calculating your opportunity costs missed when they aren't?
Here are five bottom line facts that women are good for business:
1) Profitability- Hiring and promoting women can make you more money. How much more? Companies with women in key executive leadership positions are 30-40% more profitable than those without, according to a study by Catalyst.
2) Competitive Edge- Women are the largest consumers online and off. Could female employees knowing how and why female customers spend help your organization compete? According to the Business Women's Network, women are now the largest purchasers of not only consumer goods, but travel and other services.
3) Growth – When women are in charge, growth can double. Want to see what a woman's leadership can do to skyrocket sales? Women's privately owned firms grow at twice the rate of male owned, says the Center for Women's Business Research. And according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women in B2B sales earn about 140% of what men do in those positions. (So much for that wage gap!)
4) Global expansion- Women are outstanding candidates for international business. Want to go after new markets and higher margins? Women are more willing to travel and work overseas, according to a Catalyst survey of 452 expatriates.
5) Attraction and Retention- Women owned businesses retain talent and have lower turnover. Does your business, like most, typically spend twice as much recruiting someone as retaining them? Hiring women mitigates these costs. Also, contrary to popular belief, working mothers are loyal hires, as revealed by a study by Deloitte and Touche that over 87% of women who did move on did not leave because of issues with children.
So why should we hire and promote a woman? Because increased profits, costs cut, and avoided expenses are better for business, just like women are, bottom line.

WIC--the federal program that provides extra nutrition for low-income pregnant and nursing women and for children up to age 5--is a splendid idea. That`s not the issue. The program is already getting more than $1.5 billion this year and serves 3.1 million people every month. Both chambers of Congress have passed measures to extend it and the legislation is now in conference committee.
What is in question is just how much the program is accomplishing. Researchers who spent five years and $5 million collecting extensive data are charging that the Department of Agriculture (USDA) censored their glowing report and deleted an enthusiastic executive summary. Several congressmen angrily have accused the Reagan administration of trying to ``prevent the public from learning how much good WIC is doing`` so it could be cut back or ended.

I consider myself a very diverse artist.
But I think a lot of people come to my Deviant gallery and get confused. And rightly so. They see 3...4 styles of art. I have 2 webcomics that have a very simplistic style. I have sketches with more of a cartoon-y feel. Sometimes I draw with a manga influence. And then of course I have 3D models and crazy homework assignments for school. Those pieces do not exactly have the same artistic style either. I have been getting trained as a classic animator.
But is being diverse with my art...confusing?
Sometimes I think so. I'm not really sure what to do about that. I have been slowly developing what I would call 'my style'. It's been a long road and really hard work to get there. There was a lot of practice and self evaluation...sometimes it was painful and frustrating. I was never one of those unbelievably super talented artists like Sean Galloway or Skottie Young. Artists like that just seem to have always been awesome. lol
But even this 'Greg Eales' style doesn't really work with my ongoing webcomics. I like posting everything I work on to my Deviantart account. It's kind of the 'one stop shop' for my art. I don't really plan to change this for now. However, I wonder if it's a good thing or bad?
Just some random midnight thinking...

Navigating Options in Regional Truck Driving Jobs
Regional truck driving jobs provide individuals with an opportunity to advance their career and earn well, but to do so without having to go too far for their work. One of the biggest drawbacks of trucking is that you have to be gone from home for a very long time. That makes it hard for drivers to stay in this career. However, by taking on a more localized job, you may have more of the normality that you are looking for. For some drivers, these jobs are the best opportunities for them to find a niche in this industry.
What You Can Expect
Though every truck driving school and employer offer a different set of resources, tools, and benefits, many are offering better than average features to encourage more people to sign up. This includes benefits like weekly home time that's guaranteed. It means benefits like a guaranteed pay program when the job is complete. You may find bonuses that are very attractive and features like a big referral fee.
When it comes to choosing the best regional truck driving jobs, try to focus in on the quality of the company itself. You want a company that invests in its employees first. You also want a company that can provide you with a safe working experience. You do not want one that is going to push you to do more than you should physically. And, you want a company that has a promising safety driving record.
Overall, you have options when it comes to regional truck driving jobs. For those that are well qualified, dedicated, and willing to go the extra mile, this industry is the place to be. It pays well, offers plenty of job opportunities, and keeps you close enough to home for most needs.

When Rep. Don Young (R-AK) slurred Hispanics in an interview on Thursday by referring to migrant Hispanic workers as "wetbacks," which is a term as offensive and inappropriate as "beaners," Republicans condemned his remarks and forced him to apologize.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) demanded an "immediate apology" and said Young's remarks were "offensive and beneath the dignity of the office he holds" and there was "no excuse" for his remarks."
Young eventually apologized, saying he used a "poor choice of words."
"I apologize for the insensitive term I used during an interview in Ketchikan, Alaska," he said. "There was no malice in my heart or intent to offend; it was a poor choice of words. That word, and the negative attitudes that come with it, should be left in the 20th century …"
In an interview with a radio station on Thursday, Young derogatorily described Hispanics who used to pick tomatoes at his father's ranch while talking about comprehensive immigration reform.
"My father had a ranch. We used to have 50 to 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes," he said during the interview. "It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Young's remarks were "offensive" while RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said "offensive language and ethnic slurs have no place in our public discourse."
In 2008, a close ally of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin opposed Young, regarded as one of the most corrupt politicians by both the left and the right, in the Republican primary because of his cronyism and ethics. Young won that primary by just over 300 votes.

In an effort to gain access to the education savings market, investment management companies are increasingly looking to partner with existing state-sponsored "529" college savings plans (See MFMN, 9/3/01). But standards don't yet exist for 529 partnerships, so the nature of the arrangements among these companies is different with each one.
Each state can offer a 529 plan in conjunction with an investment management firm. That has created a somewhat limited market, because, unlike 401(k) and IRA plans, the 529 plans are limited to one per state, and some states are only offering them to in-state residents.
Currently, over 35 states offer plans, and almost all of the remaining ones have commitments from investment companies or are taking proposals for their plans right now, according to Joseph Hurley, CEO of SavingForCollege.com of Pittsford, N.Y.
To counter that, firms have begun partnering with existing plans.
That can be advantageous for the original plan sponsors because partners can bring resources such as additional distribution and marketing capabilities. Thus far, each program has come to a different partner arrangement and is utilizing those additional resources in a slightly different way, according to industry observers.
"It's a developing market. I don't think there's any set way that it's happening," said Sandra Forcier, director of marketing for Schoolhouse Capital, of 529 partnerships. "There are players playing all the roles themselves. There are players that are more in a shared environment, and then there are players that are truly administrative."
Separate Schooling Subsidiary
Schoolhouse Capital was established late last year by State Street Global Advisors as a separate subsidiary to focus specifically on the education savings market. Schoolhouse administers a 529 plan in New Mexico and has recently announced partnerships for that plan with OppenheimerFunds and New York Life Investment Management. Previously, the New Mexico plan was distributed directly through E*TRADE and through employer work sites.
With the formation of these partnerships, Oppenheimer and NYLIM will both provide distribution channels for the plan in addition to adding their own investment options. And in Schoolhouse's arrangement, the 529 plan will be co-branded using all three company names, according to the company. While Janus, INVESCO and MFS all have investment options within the New Mexico plan, none have entered an agreement with Schoolhouse to offer additional resources.
AIM Management Group has partnered with 529 plans in Maine, Alaska, and Nebraska, but in very different ways. In Maine, Merrill Lynch is the program administrator and distributor and AIM only acts as a product provider, according to a company spokesman. In Alaska, T. Rowe Price Assoc. is the administrator, ManuLife acts as a distributor, and again AIM simply offers some of its products within the plan.
In Nebraska plan, however, AIM has taken on a much more extensive role. Union Bank & Trust is the program manager there, and earlier this month AIM partnered with the company to provide investment products, management and distribution, as well as to act as a servicing agent for the plan, the spokesman said.
Partnership Plan
State Street's Schoolhouse Capital anticipated that 529 plans would rely on partnerships as the plans were becoming more widely adopted, said Forcier. As a result, the company has worked specifically to make it easy to partner with it within the 529 landscape, she said. "As different players come to the market, I think there are two things they're looking at. One is, What is my opportunity to get in on the state level?' And the second is, What are the cost ramifications of that?'"
In a down economic market everyone wants to maximize opportunities but minimize expenses, she said. "Companies are now saying, We want to get into 529s quickly and soundly with a partner that already has a lot of the pieces and focus on the bells and whistles like multi-manager, custom choice, and online technology.' And Schoolhouse has an important role in that."
When the State of Nevada signed an agreement with Strong Capital Management to administer its 529 plan late last month, Nevada State Treasurer, Brian Krolicki, insisted that the agreement incorporate additional investment managers to offer products to and distribute the plan, he said. Nevada officials already have three distribution partners lined up, although those have not yet been announced, according to Strong. States want to attract 529 assets because they get a portion of the management fees and are increasingly looking to offer plans with multiple investment offerings and distribution channels, said Hurley of SavingforCollege.com.
Complex Administration
Acting as program manager and actually administering the plan is extremely complex and much more of an undertaking than many companies looking to get into the 529 market have realized, Krolicki said. Nevada selected Strong from a list of over 30 interested companies and about a dozen serious contenders, he said. Some companies will be better served by partnering with an existing plan as opposed to running their own, he said, although that point is becoming moot as state sponsorships become completely locked up.
It is easier to be a partner in a 529 plan than its chief administrator. However, in general, the company that runs the program gets the full program management fee as well as a portion of the fees collected by the partners, Hurley said.
Like the divvying up of plan responsibilities, the specific fee arrangement is negotiated in each case and therefore differs from plan to plan, Forcier said. In most cases, however, the partnering firm will pay a set percentage of the assets it collects to the plan administrator, Hurley said.
"What people forget is that there are a lot of expenses to running a state program," Forcier said. In order to get a state sponsorship, program managers agree to extensive instate marketing commitments and often run a pre-paid tuition program as well as a college savings program, which are costs in addition to those already incurred from servicing the actual plan, she said.
"So, while you may capture the administrative fee, you have significantly higher expenses and I think that's why in a lot of ways you're seeing partnerships occur," she said.
Firms are likely going to continue to partner with 529 plans. But the nature of the arrangements may stay case specific because the plans can be selective in what capabilities they utilize of a partnering firm, she said.
"I think you'll continue to see coupling in the market, but it's going to take different forms," said Forcier. "There are different models out there and that will continue to grow and develop because of the limited opportunities to get into 529s and the number of investment managers and distribution firms out there that want to get in but realize there's not a lot of opportunity left."

Bronson and Winner united in their usual sledge-hammer style as Charlie plays a half-breed Apache hunted for murder, and Palance leads a posse in pursuit. They rape his wife, and the Indian plots and watches their downfall. There are attempts in Gerald Wilson's script to say something about racism and violence, and some critics have even suggested parallels with the disastrous American involvement in Vietnam; but in Winner's hands, it's just a rag-bag of muddled clichés.

This is the second article in a series about finding a better design for the weight needed in a dynamic pool freediving performance. The first article focussed on my discomforts and dislikings about the current design, which I blindly followed when I first started freediving. This article will focus on the way I intend to solve these problems into new solution and the design around it. In the 3rd article I will focus on the testing we've done so far with different setups, to see if they actually solve my problems. The 4th article will show how the design evolved through time by incorporating our findings from the test phases. Finally in the 5th article I hope to present a solution with an easy design, so other freedivers can try and build/buy one of their own and see if they benefit from it as much as I do.
Weight placement
To solve the weight placement, I chose to locate the weight around the lung area. It's a bit of a tricky location and might be disadvantageous due to the flexing of the chest when inhaling and exhaling. Only tests will find out if I find this comfortable or not and if it doesn't effect my normal breath-up.
One of the solutions for unbalanced tilting that caught my eye is already widely used in the shipbuilding industry and is called a keel. The principle behind this solution is to spread the center of gravity, by placing a weight below the structural keel. For ships the use of a keel brings stability and improves the directional movement of the ship. My interest lies with the stability problem it solves; when a sail ship is sailing, the wind will make it tilt, the keel will counter act this by it's weight. That's exactly the behavior I want my prototype to have when I'm doing a dynamic performance. So when I tilt over, due to a slightly rotated push-off while turning, the weight underneath the chest will be counteracting this and ensure my alignment in the horizontal plane. So from the balance point of view it is best to place the weight underneath the body, or at least on the lowest point of the chest.
Optimal arm placement
In the 2 preceding points I opted for the placement of the weight around the lung area and at the lowest point of the chest in the water. This will solve my discomfort and inability to fully stretch the arms over my head as well. Because the area around my neck will be clear of any objects what so ever. Ofcourse the question remains; "Will the new weight placement introduce a new discomfort or is it easier to live with?".
Commence the Testing
As we're already testing and have been testing with a few different setups, I'm going to continue to test for a while longer to see if he new approach really brings what it should. I will report about my findings in a 3rd article as soon as I think it's a good point in time to share it with you all. I've already shared some insight from my setup through pictures, but my experience still needs to increase a little more to share. How would you like to see the solution tested in comparison to the neck weight? Please leave your ideas in the comments and I'll see if I can include this in the tests.
PS. Current design lacks the safety feature, so I cannot compare this in the tests.

A Haitian Baby Is Not Joining The Child Army At This Time
St. Angie Jo flew into Haiti earlier this week to meet with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, and to visit with Haitian children who were injured in the earthquake. You know, bless them with her greatness and such. Of course, some started saying that Angie was really in Haiti to do a little shopping. There was a report that she was planning to adopt an orphan. During an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour (CNN IS the new Access Hollywood), Angie was asked if that rumor was true.
Well, Maddox doesn't have to worry about clearing out his shoe closet to make room for another baby friend, because Angie said they were not in the market right now. But she also said that she's always open to adding another child to their "It's A Small World" familia.
Speaking of the child army, where in the damn world are the mysterious twin messiahs?! I feel like they are going to show up on the final episode of Lost. Because that's a question I need answered!
And here's St. Angie arriving in LAX yesterday from Haiti. No, there's not a baby in that backpack. I think.

Yesterday I spent the morning building a little moveable row cover. It's tiny—44 inches wide by maybe 60 inches long, but it'll be enough to house our lettuce starts come February. By the time they get big enough to be crowded, we'll be able to pull the cover off and transplant them into rows. In a climate like ours, it's all about getting a jump start.
My friend Lucas Dinwiddie is working to do this on a much bigger scale. Last spring he got a Matching Enterprise Grant for Agriculture, or what the state calls a "MEGA" grant. The idea is to help beginning farm businesses in Massachusetts with start up or expansion costs. In Lucas's case, the grant helped him build what you see up there—a 25 by 12 foot mobile greenhouse that slides back and forth over a 50 foot plot.
The idea comes from Eliot Coleman. He's the one growing greens and root vegetables and lemons year round in Maine, and he and his wife Barbara Damarosch have written quite a few books and articles on four season farming. The idea with the moveable greenhouse is that different crops need insulation at different times of the year.
For instance, if you had a three plot system, the rotation might go something like this. You cover winter greens in Field A from late November through mid March. Then in early April, once the weather has warmed up enough that the greens will be fine without covering, you slide the hoophouse down the tracks 25 feet to Field B and get a jumpstart on your tomato crop by planting the seeds in the ground under the plastic. Once the frost free date comes, you slide the hoophouse another 25 feet to Field C where you plant seedlings of a heat-loving crop like peppers or melons. You leave the hoophouse over them for the summer, then cover another crop of greens come fall. It's a pretty ingenious system.
There are all sorts of different combinations of crop rotations you can do, and you can put as many beds in a row as you want as long as you have a long row of level space. Eliot Coleman lays out one plan that has five fields! Lucas's has a two plot system, and his plan is to cover greens in the cool months and tomatoes in the summer.
Beyond the two-for-one aspect—Lucas has essentially gained two greenhouse spaces for the price of one, which is pretty cool—the mobile greenhouse also helps combat common soil problems that arise in continually covered spaces. Pests, diseases, excess nutrient salts, and dry soil are all more common in stationary greenhouses, but are much less problematic in fields that are covered only part of the year.
If you're interested in building something similar, check out these online plans from Eliot Coleman. And if you're interested in doing something on a smaller scale, I'll post a photo and plans for my moveable row cover soon. Hard to believe, but it's time to start thinking about planting again soon. Happy dreaming!

East Africa Fruits Farm and Company is moving into the use of modern technology to improve the quality and shelf life of fruits and vegetables. We will set up irrigation systems and make use of greenhouses for some crops. Cold value chain logistics will be used increase shelf life of produce. These include use of refrigerated trucks and cold rooms. We are solving the problem of Post Harvest Losses in agriculture, specifically in fruits and vegetable production. This is highly attributed to poor storage facilities, poor transportation and handling systems as well as over dependence on seasonal weather. These problems affect small holder farmers in Tanzania which slows down the agriculture sector in the country. This innovation involves use of cold chain logistics to improve storage, handling and transportation. Adaptation to climate change is enhanced by making use of irrigation systems and greenhouses in production.Read more »

Sterling blues
Currency traders seem to be latching on to the structural problems of the British economy as a reason for selling. In short these problems come under four general headings.
Firstly, the UK has seen the largest increase in residential property prices over the course of the past 15 years. Average prices have more than doubled, but wages have not kept pace. The ratio of average house price to average earnings has gone from three times to more than six times. This is historically well out of line, and as inflation in food and energy prices nibbles away at spending power, the pressure on British consumers is intensifying.
Meanwhile, one major strength of the UK, which has been its ability to attract labour from such countries as Poland, is now also weakening. The weakness of Sterling has meant a stronger Zloty, and as wage rates have increased in Poland, the relative wage gap has fallen to the point where many Poles are now returning home- this a significant source of cheaper labour has now reduced. This may also have a marginal effect on house prices, as those who have bought to let find that rental demand has fallen.
At the top end, the cack-handed attempt by the government to tax non-doms is causing many to reappraise their commitment to the UK. Several investment firms are now considering relocation away from London. Although the income tax take may be small, the VAT and other taxes ARE paid by non-doms, whenever they spend money here, so should they move away, then economic activity will be slower and the tax take will be lower.
The fiscal burden in the UK is now quite high. The closing of various tax loopholes, especially on CGT, and a steady increase in the overall level of general taxation- although not the nominal rate of income tax- has increased the overall fiscal burden substantially. Although Gordon Brown was able, with some twisting of the figures, to stay within his pre set limits, it is practically impossible for his successor in the Finance ministry to do so. Government expenditure is high, and set to increase further. Yet the public sector continues to deliver poor quality services, even despite the substantial expenditure that has been laid out. Admittedly there has been a substantial waste in many projects. The NHS IT system has turned into a GBP 13 billion white elephant. The repeated crises in Agriculture have resulted in further lost billions, the PFI projects are also set to be far more expensive than was first mooted. The latest fiasco, that of Northern Rock is also set to cost the Treasury about GBP 7 billion, based on the fact that Northern Rock paper is being bid at 93 Pence on the Pound. All of this extra expenditure has brought little tangible benefit.
The NR affair has also brought home two further points of weakness- our dependency on financial services, including our regulators and our currency. The City has, in recent years, been challenging to be the leading Financial Services centre on the World. The relatively light regulatory burden was touted as a competitive advantage. However the failure of Northern Rock was massively amplified by the failure of the regulators to get to grips with the business until it was too late. The relatively smaller liquidity of the Sterling market has limited the options available, so that while there have been problems with both German and Spanish banks especially, these have been handled more effectively. The implosion of the global credit market will have a disproportionate impact on the UK, as jobs are lost from the City. It is now inevitable that Sterling will weaken still further, and one hedge fund manager said to me smilingly that he could see the real chance of Pound:Euro parity. "At that point", he said "Prime Minister David Cameron would be pleading with the ECB to let the UK into the Eurozone".
The situation in the British economy is complicated, with many pieces in play. However, the position is difficult, but not hopeless. It is essential that the state reduces dramatically it direct involvement in the economy. The burden of taxation must be reduced, and it is essential that the extraordinarily over-complex tax code is simplified drastically. I also believe that since the Poles are leaving, that we will need to find an alternative, and i suspect Ukraine or even Russia could be a good source of the kind of workers who have helped to maintain our economic momentum- at the moment this is down tacitly, but I believe that visa free travel from Russia and Ukraine might help the British gain a stronger economic foothold in these important countries, as it dis with the Baltic countries before.
Free trade, less regulation and a more open economy are all strongly liberal positions, and in the face of a protectionist clangour that is emerging in the US, we should not be afraid to speak out for these effective and important principles. I also believe that, although we should retain and develop our relationship with the US and with Canada, we need to engage further with the European Union. However, as with Britain, so with Brussels: we should explicitly state what the limits of European level decision making actually are. We should not be signing a blank cheque for ever closer Union. In that sense both the failed Constitution and the reform treaty that replaced it were significant improvements on the current position. In fact, since even David Cameron insists that he would not leave the EU, there is some general acceptance that the EU serves a positive purpose. It would not do our position in the EU any harm if this was publicly acknowledged by our political leadership.
The UK is headed for a period of economic weakness, which could be quite prolonged. The political fall out will be significant- to the point that the next election could well be the one to lose, rather than to win such is the scale of the poisoned chalice that the winners will inherit. However the crisis could become a catastrophe unless a disciplined economic policy, based on economic liberalism is adopted soon. This is the challenge for all political parties to rise to- I wish I had the confidence to believe that they will.

What a thoughtful and intelligent piece. Thank you. Odd though isn't it that, in Westminster, one does not hear this kind of talk at all. Little about the fiscal burden, the dilemma of high costs and poor delivery, or the UK's extreme vulnerability to the downturn in financial services. Instead, it's all more for the NHS, more for education, more for transport. As if we could possibly afford it.
I agree that the next election could be one worth losing. I do occasionally wish it might be possible that all of them would do exactly that.

Low taxes yes , unrestrained immigration no .It is a cost not a benefit by any reasonable calculation and a cost born by ordinary working people and their children suffering hopeless school conditions urban societal breakdown and swamped services...quite aside from changing the country in away the majority do not want. You would not understand.
EU membership on the beyond dubious basis that it would have helped Northern Rock absolutely not. Absurd. Northern Rock`s troubles had nothing to do with sub prime and the ability to borrow even more is the last thing we need. The regulatory bodies New Labour have imposed have of course been useless. can you think of one thing they have actually got right ...one ?
The FSA are the bane of my life and if the day should the day come when I do not have to teach unemployable thicko`s the right way to sit on a lavatory seat while they get paid twice as much as I do there will be bunting .
The European Union is dead in this country its a question of how to get ourselves out of the mess. Its protectionist expensive undemocratic and harmful to our security damaging to relationships with our real allies .The notions that we will be excluded from trading is ridiculous , we are a huge market for the EU and they can be replaced easily Others manage rather nicely and it would be amazing if they did not . This reminds me of the claim that the GLA is responsible for the prosperity of London. Onoly someone who has never created any money would say such a thing
Should we have to do without BMWs...I could learn to live with IT ....DO BE SERIOUS . The advantagesof freedom are considerable and developing relationships with countries to whom we can offer comparative advantage is the wise route. Remember 80% of economic activity is internal .
I think it is possible that if the whole vainglorious arrogant project was pared back to the single market a rapprochement might be available by the people to whom the political elite have been lying and continue to lie threaten and attempt to intimidate often with transparent fictions . Economic Liberalism in the world for the benefit of this country and its people out of Europe. Cicero..the Treaty of Rome was a Constitution,...that why you can achieve the same thing with a treaty. It has not failed it has been sneaked through against the express wishes of the people of this country which they have made entirely clear. It contains a ratchet for further removal of sovereignty and shifts a gear whereby the United States of Europe is a reality.
No-one cares what assorted foreigners say about us they are only a a light sprinkling of corrupt chancers justifying their endless waste .Our relations with Europeans are good we simply wish to be a free and democratic nation...if that's alright . Meanwhile , the EU is now about to destroy Fireworks Parties with some new regulations about the loudness of Bangers and the distance from Fire. There will be a riot in Lewes and Norman Baker will be blamed rightly so, He lied .

- The first reader carries the book of the gospels in the procession from the back following the last server but before the priest. The first reader places the Book of the Gospels on the wood cross stand in the middle of the altar and thenreturns to their seat in the congregation. If there is a deacon, the first reader does not need to be in the procession.
- The first reader comes up from where seated in congregation, bows in front of the altar, goes left to the Ambo and reads the reading. Return to seat after bowing in front of the altar. The second reader does the same thing. After the second reader finishes their reading, they close the Lectionary, bow to the altar and place the Lectionary in the Ambo shelf. Then return to their seat in the congregation.

- Checkin with Eucharistic Captain when you arrive.
- Review the folder in the sacristy with the Prayers of Petition and the Announcements – check with priest for special details if any.
- After the Creed, come up to the Ambo with the folder and read the Petitions.
- After the Final Prayer (sometimes before), come up to the Ambo and read the Announcements. Return folder to sacristy after mass.
- Hospitality Ministers should should arrive 30 minutes before Mass begins and check in with the Eucharistic Captain.
- Welcome parishioners as they arrive and hand them a copy of the book "Breaking Bread" and any other worship aids needed.
- Place the collection baskets from the sacristy under the table in the back of church.
- Help people find seats if seating begins to fill up. Set up additional chairs if needed.
- Find a family/individuals who will bring up gifts.
- Four Ministers of Hospitality can take up the collection after the Prayers of Petition. With a basket in hand, two will go down the center aisle and hand it to the person in the front row. Two will go down the side aisles and hand it to the person in the 2nd row. The person on the left side will also hand a basket to the people in the three side pews. Then they will wait for the basket to come to them and hand it back two rows until the baskets reach the back. The Collection is then consolidated and one Minister of Hospitality takes it up to the altar or gives it to the family bringing up the gifts. If there is a second collection, the gifts should be brought us first and then the second collection is taken.
- Assist parishioners returning song books to the book racks.
- Two ministers of hospitality should hand out bulletins as people exit and direct newcomers to registration packets if needed.
- All Ministers of Hospitality should be welcoming and greet people as they enter and exit. You are the welcoming face of St. Luke's.

- Write the total number of people on the calendar in the Sacristy.
- After the Mass has concluded, Hospitality Ministers should check to ensure there are finance staff and/or money counters available to organize the collection and place it in the safe in the Sacristy.
- Arrive by 8:30 a.m. and check to ensure that donuts, rolls and juice have been delivered to the church. Make sure to start the coffee before Mass. Pull out all supplies needed to serve donuts, rolls, juice, coffee and tea that are located in the south pantry closet off the kitchen dish washing machine area. Ensure you have an adequate supply of all materials needed. This would include coffee, filters, tea bags, cups, napkins, sugar, creamer, stir sticks, etc. If you find you are short any supplies, have someone on the team go purchase what is required for that mass only and submit your receipt for reimbursement. Write youR name on the receipt, request reimbursement for expenses and provide this to the money counters after mass. If you notice that you are running low on any supplies, please inform Jenifer in the office so that she can order more.
- Set up tables (round and rectangle) and chairs in the gymnasium that you feel would be adequate for the amount of people attending mass. This typically takes all round tables with 6 chairs per table and several rectangle tables with 8 chairs.
- Set up two rectangle tables in the Southeast corner of the gymnasium to set out donuts, rolls, and napkins. Leave tables away from the south wall 6 feet to allow space for people to walk on both sides.
- The stainless steel serving line overhead door is to be open and will have an offering basket with message sign, coffee pot, hot water pot for tea, juice, cups and napkins. Refreshment ministers will fill cups and set them out for guests to pick up as they move through the line.
- All Refreshment Ministers should be welcoming and greet people as they enter and exit. You are an extension of our welcoming team at St. Luke's.
- As time permits after all people have gone through the serving line ministers are asked to take extra coffee, juice and donuts around to ask guests if they would care for more.
- During the serving of refreshments, set up children lunch room table benches only if there are no open tables and chairs remaining after all tables and chairs have been set up.
- Clean coffee and tea pots with hot water and soap, rinse thoroughly, dry them out completely and return them to their boxes in the storage room.
- Collect all trash and dispose of it in the dumpster outside the kitchen.
- Wipe down tables and chairs with disinfectant spray and/or clean soapy water. Tear down and return all tables and chairs to the storage closet at the north end of the gymnasium.
- Clean up spills of liquid and food on the floors in the gymnasium and all areas of the kitchen as needed.

A Medicaid expansion is an increase in federal funding to a state Medicaid plan, which allows state Medicaid plans to cover more individuals with higher incomes. Medicaid expansion is also designed to improve Medicaid programs. As of 2014, the most recent Medicaid expansions came about with the Affordable Care Act.Continue Reading
Under the Affordable Care Act, each state can decide whether or not to expand its Medicaid program. If each state accepted the expansion as designed, about 17 million more Americans could qualify for Medicaid in their state. The expansion also creates a standard income eligibility throughout the country. Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act is covered by federal funding 100 percent, decreasing to 90 percent over time. The expansion also includes funding for increased information technology capability in order to handle the additional influx of Medicaid participants.
Changes also included in the Act relate to quality-of-care improvements, increased coordination with Medicare, higher availability of long-term care, increased provider fraud prevention efforts, focus on preventive care and improvements to the Children's Health Insurance Program. Initially, if a state declined additional federal funding under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government would withdraw other Medicaid funding. This provision was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.Learn more about Social Services

Lost my Network, but I can see it in the menu
Hi everybody, hope you are having a better morning than I am.
Here is the situation. I had just reformatted my computer and was checking my IP config and found that my IP had changed. fine. go to my router page to change the IP there that is setup for forwarding my torrents and games and instead of changing the IP, it wipes my router of all information that it once had on it. weird, I know. so fortunately I managed to get back on the router page and setup the internet again. Fine. So I have internet under a different network which is pretty much the exact same thing as the last one except that it does not have my settings. I was looking through my network and sharing and noticed the old network is there but I cannot connect to it. It does not come up under the networks that I am allowed to connect to, only sits there under "manage my networks" and is useless. Anyway way to get back to my previous network?
|My System Specs
|07 Jul 2010
Once you've reset your routers settings, setting them back to whatever you had before effectively places you within the same network as before. As far as your IP change goes, that likely has more to do with your ISP, unless you IP changed from 192.168.X.X to something similar. Those IPs are only used for individual computers within a router's network. If you wish to keep the same one, you can setup your router to assign your computer a specific IP instead of using DHCP.
Once you've reset your router's settings, there is no way to revert to your "old" network. This is because your router is broadcasting the network and once you've reset it, the network changes. The only reason you can still see it in Network & Sharing is likely due to the fact that your wireless has a memory of previous networks.
A simple explanation of router networking:
In short, your router is simply a tool which can "split" an individual network connection coming from your modem between one or more computers. It does this through assigning individual internet protocol addresses to each computer and then combining all traffic so that the modem sees all traffic as coming from one source. The second function of a router uses these individual addresses to allow the individual computers to communicate with each other within the private network that is created by the router.
The reason that your IP changed is due to the fact that your router uses DHCP and assigns a new IP address each time that a computer is connected to the network. It reserved your old ip (likely a variant of 192.168.1.1XX) for your old installation. This internal ip address can change as much as your want unless you are forwarding specific ports to that computer. In that case you need to switch your router's settings that that incoming traffic is forwarded to the new ip.
If you want to avoid having your router switch your computer's ip address, you can tell your router and/or computer to use a manual DHCP address instead of an automatic one. This simply means that instead of letting the router decide which ip to assign, a pre defined IP address is associated with your computer's unique ID (mac address) permanently. This allows you to forward information from external sources to your computer within your router's network (forward traffic pointed at global ip to internal ip).
If you didn't understand any of that I don't blame you. It's probably due to my poor explanation rather than it being complex. The only thing you really need to know is that you have to setup manual DHCP if you want to have a static internal IP address and once a router's settings are reset, the previous network ceases to exist.

nope that made pretty much perfect sense. so the network is there just to be there but it is unusable and I need to reset my router completely now because it does not work at all. not a big deal. just curious if it was possible to get the old settings back. With the family and all though, this will be a headache. Any links to guides on setting a router and computer for specific IPs and manual DHCP? Funny I did this all 4 or 5 years ago and now I cannot remember for the life of me how I did it.
on another note, the router is not connecting to the internet. The modem is fine. have it connected to the family computer to test and it is connecting...which is the reason I can type here. I know this is incredibly vague but for some reason I have no idea where to begin. I have reset the router, created a new network, sat on my head and spun around in circles, nothing works. any tips?
|My System Specs
|07 Jul 2010
You should check to see if you router is functioning as well. This can be done easily. Configure your router's network without plugging it into the modem. Now attempt to connect to your router's network through two computers. You won't have internet access, but if your computer's network is configured properly you should be able to connect to the other computer's shared resources.
Are you on cable or dsl?
If you're on DSL you may have to set up your router to connect to your modem using PPPoe this simply means that you have to supply a username and password in order for the router to receive a connection from the modem.
Also, keep in mind that once you have the router's network setup properly, you need to do the following.
Turn off all devices (Router, Modem, Computer)
Turn on Modem, Wait for Modem to Properly connect to ISP (Watch the lights, wait for connection to be established)
Turn on Router, Wait for Router to Properly connect to Modem (Watch lights, etc)
Turn on Computer.
This allows for your modem to connect first, then once it is connect the router can properly connect to it. Once this is done, the computer can then request a connection from the router.
If you're using wired connections and have a cable ISP, you should be able to connect the router to the modem and the computer(s) to the router with minimal configuration. However, if you're using wireless and/or DSL you'll need to setup the router to connect to the DSL modem using PPPoe and/or configure the router's wireless network.

There is a very easy way to solve this problem before it ever occurs. Simply create a .gws file in your routers control panel and put it somewhere safe. This file can be saved on most modern routers and is very useful for getting your settings back to exactly how they were before the router reset.
This file will save all router settings for you, ports fowarded, Ip's the same, every setting back to how it was before with the click of a button. On my Dlink router the place where you create and apply this file looks like the picture below.
I believe that the problem you might be having now is that your IPv4 "properties" on your other machines maybe set to static IP's" I can only guess at this" So unless the IPv4's static IP's match up with the ones your router is assigning it's not going to work.
Unless you have a really good reason for using static IP's you should set everything to use DHCP instead. It's much easier that way in the long run. I'll also post a screen shot of the network configuration window, you should click on IPv4 then properties, you can set to DHCP or manually input the IP, DNS, subnet mask and default gateway.
It might also help to go into your Credential Manager, Control panel>Credential Manager and edit or delate the old connections from there.

the reason i used static ips was because it was easier when i was opening up my ports. it didnt work when i was doing it the last time but maybe for right now ill set everything back to that. ok thanks again for your help guys. ill try this stuff out and post back if i solve it and how.

alrighty well i have tried pretty much everything i can think of. Let me do a quick run down and see what you guys think.
Using a cable modem and linksys wrt54gr router which i have had for 7 or 8 years. 3 computers wireless, 1 wired. No static IPs on any of them and the router is also set to auto dhcp. ive reset the router and attempted to create a new network from the router to no avail. the modem is fine so no beef with my cable company. the router on the other hand seems to get internet because the internet light is flashing but i cannot connect to the internet when the wired computer is plugged into the router. This makes me assume the router is having an issue. The wireless computers also cannot connect to the internet at any time. They can all see each other on the same network but none of them get internet. called both linksys and time warner and they have been no help. any thoughts?
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2010
The older linksys WRT series routers always seem to need a firmware update to work with Windows 7.
You can open ports with DHCP enabled but you will want to save the settings if you are opening ports for only certain IP's. This assumes your router has the ablity to save settings with a .gws file like mine does.
You might also try using one of the Tomato firmware. The most recent one is 09 which should work.
Added ID for WTR54GS, WZR-G108 - thanks to BaoWeiQuan; WR100 - thanks to Hovsep.
Looking at the Linksys support for your particular router there doesn't seem to be any recent firmware updates since 2005 which can be a problem. Using static IP's may still work but DHCP doesn't seem to be working for you. So the tomato firmware may be the best option.

The near-collapse of the global economy in 2007 exposed the fragility of our current food production and distribution system. In the years since, as food prices have risen across the world, so too have food riots. In the UK, the number of people using food banks has surged. But not everyone is worse off.
A Reuters article in October 2011 declared:
"For the small club of companies who trade the food, fuels and metals that keep the world running, the last decade has been sensational... the global commodities boom has turbo-charged profits at the world's biggest trading houses... Many amass speculative positions worth billions in raw goods, or hoard commodities in warehouses and super-tankers during periods of tight supply."(1)
Despite an urgent need that is both moral and economic, governments have spectacularly failed to realign the economy in favour of people and the environment over profits. Meanwhile, the supply of our food becomes ever more concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer companies.
Just five corporations control a staggering 90% of the global grain trade: ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Glencore and Louis Dreyfus.(2) With the exception of ADM, these are not companies that appear in Ethical Consumer product guides because they don't have consumer-facing brands. But their produce fills supermarket shelves.
In February 2013, Britain was in the middle of a scandal involving the content of packaged meat products. What began as an apparent isolated case of horsemeat in Tesco Value 'beef' burgers has gradually evolved into what has been described by the environment secretary as a possible "major international criminal conspiracy".(3) Unlicensed, unregulated, potentially unsafe meat has been entering the food supply for an unknown amount of time. Something is seriously wrong.
But people are not only fighting for change but living it. In this issue we look at some of the problems and present the grassroots solutions.

Random Freezing Win7 x64
Hi Guys,
First post here so please bare with me!
I have searched the forum extensively for this problem and see that several people I believe had - are having the same issue and as far as I can tell no complete concrete resolution.
System - brand new build Win7 x64.
Asus P8P67-WS Revolution new rev - B3.
Crucial 2 * 4GB Ballistix modules
HD 6970 graphics
Intel X25M SDD
HP DVD drive
Logitecg G15 Keyboard and G9 mouse
Symptoms: Machine will randomly lock either when idle or when in IE9 and left idle. It has only locked once when browsing. Machine runs great when gaming - no issues whatsoever. All temps are fine. When machine locks video stays up, display on keyboard and lights on mouse go out. Hard reset appears only way to get it booted. I have tried removing the usb connectors and locating in other slots - no dice.
NO minidump file ever generated, checked several times. I have ran the windows built in mem test on standard settings several times no issue. Tried SFC /Scannow etc.
I am wondering if it is something to do with IE9?? I will cold start the machine and leave it run for as long as possible soon without opening anything to see what happens - a little hard yet as I just built it.
Any input, comments appreciated.
Great forum!!

Actress Jessica Alba has landed the cover of Forbes magazine's America's Richest Self-Made Women issue after her natural lifestyle firm The Honest Company was valued at $1 billion.
The Sin City beauty co-founded the business, which sells non-toxic items including diapers, household cleaners and beauty products, in 2012 after previously suffering a bad reaction to chemicals used in a baby detergent while pregnant with her first child in 2008.
In just one year, it raked in $10 million in revenue.
The Honest Company's profits continued to soar and last summer (Aug14), experts valued the firm at just under $1 billion - a figure which has since been surpassed, but Alba insists she is only getting started.
She tells the publication, "If we really want to make a difference in the world and people's health, it's billions and billions of dollars, not just one."
Ironically, despite being the cover girl for the America's Richest Self-Made Women issue, Alba just missed out on making Forbes' top 50.
Oprah Winfrey is the highest-placed celebrity at five with a net worth of $3 billion, while Madonna is at 28 with $520 million , and Beyonce ties with TV's Judge Judy for 49th place, with $250 million .
