Commencing at 75, A CCRC Resident
Amid the sea of black robes at Howard Community College's commencement ceremony on May 19th, 2006, Shirley Jacquelyn Jackson was one of the proud few wearing an honor sash. She received her Associate's degree in General Studies with an emphasis in Business and Technology.
From the bleachers, Jackson appears to be an average graduate: she is pleased with her accomplishment but has an expectant eye to the future; she is looking forward to celebrating this milestone with her family but realizes there is more to be done. Up close, in Mrs. Jackson's well-appointed apartment, the 75-year old begins to stand out from the crowd.
This mother of two and grandmother of four inspires with her complete disregard for age limits. She explains, "My mother went to nursing school when she was in her 40s. My daughter went back to college to obtain her master's from John Hopkins when she was in her 40s. We as a family tend not to think that you have to stop at a certain age." For Jackson, now the family's matriarch and role model, opportunity never stops knocking.
A large granite insignia bearing the inscription "OPPORTUNITY" spanned the length of the auditorium in Jackson's Pittsburgh high school. "You couldn't miss it. I can still see that now," she recalls. After literally staring "OPPORTUNITY" in the face throughout her adolescence, Jackson found inspiration in Walter Malone's poem entitled, not surprisingly, "Opportunity."
She quotes the piece: "They do me wrong who say I come no more/ When once I knock and fail to find you in/ For every day I stand outside your door/ And bid you rise and fight to win."
Jackson learned early that in order to seize valuable opportunities she would have to "rise and fight." While attending St. Francis Nursing School in the 40s, she was treated differently because of her heritage. Jackson is the descendant of both African American and Irish ancestors. Determined to obtain her nurse's license despite this discrimination, Mrs. Jackson traveled to Harrisburg, where she took her examination alone.
She admits that facing this type of prejudice was difficult, but she insists, "I prefer to leave the past in the past." She explains, "There was discrimination in those times, and I suppose that facing those challenges made me stronger, but a lot of other things have made me strong as well."
After passing her examination, Jackson became a licensed nurse and worked for Aetna Life Insurance Company for 29 1/2 years. During her long tenure, she held various positions, including her final post as a Nurse Consultant and Claim Representative.
While her work was rewarding, Jackson found her passion making miniatures and dolls. Her apartment is a veritable curio cabinet brimming with dolls and miniature furniture-all of which she made alone or with her husband and mother, both now deceased. The extensive collection includes cloth dolls, sculptures, poured porcelain dolls, poured wax dolls, and miniature furniture for every room-from the patio to the music room.
As Mrs. Jackson shows the various pieces that make up her eclectic collection, it is easy to forget that she recently moved. Just a few months ago, Jackson moved to Vantage House, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Columbia, MD. For several years, she carefully reviewed her options and even helped several friends move to retirement communities.
Vantage House appealed to Mrs. Jackson because of its central location and user-friendly design. She explains, "I only lived a mile away before, and my children are very close. I also love not having to go outside for anything in the winter because I have a condition that prevents me from doing that. Everything here is enclosed and connected." Mrs. Jackson also appreciates the comfort that living in a Type A CCRC provides. Type A CCRCs offer residents extensive contracts, which cover all present and future care needs under a single fee.
After visiting several communities, Jackson and her daughter decided that Vantage House was "exactly the place." She says, "Everyone here has been so welcoming and friendly since the moment I moved in; it has just been wonderful." Of her fellow residents, she adds, "We are all in the same age group, and we all chose Vantage House, which tells you that we have similar interests."
For Jackson and her similarly motivated peers, Vantage House's close proximity to Howard Community College (HCC) has always been important. Vantage House residents have long taken both credit and non-credit courses at the nearby college. Recently, the two institutions have expanded their partnership to formulate a new program called Arts AdVantage.
The Arts AdVantage program includes a series of free lectures with a focus on the arts. The lectures are conducted by HCC instructors and held at Vantage House. They are open to all interested seniors in Howard County free of charge. The program began in February with a discussion of the book and film, Dead Man Walking, and interest has been strong. For Vantage House residents, these unique sessions within the walls of their community will provide more opportunities for continuing education.
Jackson has enjoyed the "fifteen minutes of fame, which has turned into two weeks" that surrounded her graduation, but she is looking forward to getting back to business. She is currently enrolled in Indiana University and is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. She is taking all of her courses online, a feat made possible by her focus on technology at HCC.
Initially shocked by how "today's classes are geared to individuals who think like TI-83s," Mrs. Jackson now says that she is "proficient enough with computers" and admits that "the ability to take classes online has really opened a lot of opportunities for me."
Rather than assuming that technology had outpaced her ability, Mrs. Jackson took a turn from her classic playbook and sought a new opportunity. Using her daughter's old computer equipment and starting with a basic computing class, she made a foray into education in the 21st century. She says her teachers made it all possible, and advises her peers to trust in the educational system and in their own abilities. She says, "You can't be afraid to try new things. There are so many people there willing to help you. You may stumble, but they won't let you fall."
Jackson chose her current major of Political Science because of its "timeliness" and her lifelong interest in "politics and elections." She laughs as she points out, "I'd rather watch C-SPAN than soap operas. It really is one of my favorite channels."
A firm believer in the importance of exercising the brain, one of her primary motivations for continuing her education is to keep her mind active in order to avoid memory problems. Her other focus, Jackson says, "Is to show the grandchildren that it is never too late to accomplish what ever it is that you want to achieve." She concludes, "As a matter of fact, I am not finished yet." Mrs. Jackson succinctly points out what every graduate would do well to know: a commencement is nothing more than a commencing point.

Production Has Wrapped for Netflix's The Punisher
For those waiting for an update on Marvel's upcoming Netflix series The Punisher may want to listen to this. The anticipated spin-off series launched production last October, but we haven't heard any other news on set. Well, it seems like the show finally finished shooting.
With production finally ending, it's only a matter of time before we see any footage from Jon Bernthal's take on the anti-hero. On Twitter, there were photos released from the wrap-up party for the cast and crew with Bernthal being among them. It looks like the team is in a good mood, as they should be once fans get a chance to see it later this year. Seeing them happy must also mean that filming went really well. In the past couple of months, a batch of photos popped up for The Punisher came up online giving fans a peak at what the show may look like. We saw Frank Castle sporting a beard as well as him stealing a cop car like a criminal.
The series will have showrunner Steve Lightfoot writing the first two episodes and he'll also be an executive producer on it. Jim Chory and Jeph Loeb will also be on board as EPs as well.
Now we are just counting down the days when we get a trailer or some official photos from the new series. We still don't have an official date for launch, but hopefully we find out soon. Are you excited for The Punisher to come out later this year?

April 30, 2010 22:48 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 30, 2010) -
Fortress Paper Ltd. ("Fortress Paper" or the "Corporation") (TSX:FTP), a leading producer of security and specialty papers, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its acquisition of the assets of a northern bleached hardwood kraft ("NBHK") manufacturing facility located in Thurso, Quebec (the "Thurso Mill") from Fraser Papers Inc. ("Fraser") for net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. With this successful acquisition, Fortress Paper will commence the conversion of the Thurso Mill into a world class, low cost, specialty cellulose (dissolving pulp) operation. Concurrently, Fortress Paper intends to build a biomass-based cogeneration plant at the Thurso Mill which will produce green electricity resulting in material net energy savings (income).
Chad Wasilenkoff, CEO of Fortress Paper, states, "We are pleased to announce the transaction has closed. We intend to move aggressively to ramp up operations at the Thurso Mill and anticipate production of NBHK to commence in mid June of this year during the interim period while we immediately begin the conversion of the Thurso Mill into a dissolving pulp operation. We are finalizing the terms of employment with several key individuals with extensive experience in dissolving pulp conversions and should be able to provide more details on this matter in the coming weeks. This acquisition will diversify our specialty product mix and we believe will provide a significant financial contribution to Fortress' growth aspirations."
The acquisition of the Thurso Mill has been completed through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fortress Specialty Cellulose Inc. ("Fortress Specialty"). The Corporation intends to incur capital expenditures of approximately $153 million to convert the non-operating NBHK mill into a high quality specialty cellulose mill and to construct a new cogeneration facility.
Concurrent with the completion of the acquisition the Company has finalized $102.4 million project financing with Investissement Québec ("IQ") and a $15 million convertible debenture (the "Debenture") with Solidarity Fund QFL. Additionally, included in the assets being purchased is approximately $9.9 million in credits (black liquor credits) granted under the Canadian government's Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. Fortress Paper also intends to apply for approximately $15.2 million in federal credits under the Green Infrastructure Fund program of the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure & Communities relating to the planned cogeneration project.
New collective agreements have been negotiated with all three unions which will be in effect until 2016. The defined benefit pension plan which existed under the previous collective agreements has been replaced with a defined contribution pension plan, eliminating the risk of future unfunded pension liabilities. Under these new agreements, Fortress will not be assuming any of the previous pension liabilities. Management is confident that these agreements will ensure a positive partnership with the union and a stable, efficient cost structure through the transition into dissolving pulp.
Further Details:
Fortress Paper has completed a loan agreement whereby Investissement Québec has agreed to provide up to $102.4 million to Fortress Specialty to support the proposed business plan in respect of the Thurso Mill. The loan is secured by the capital assets of Fortress Specialty and has a term of 10 years. Interest will be calculated at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum for the first five years, followed by a rate based on the cost of IQ's funds plus 2.0% for the remaining five years, up to a maximum of 5.5% per annum.
Fortress Paper has also issued a $15 million convertible debenture (the "Debenture") to Solidarity Fund QFL. The convertible debt matures in five years with an interest rate of 7% per annum. The Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of Solidarity Fund QFL into common shares of Fortress Paper at any time after closing of the debenture at a conversion price equal to $20.00.
The Solidarity Fund QFL is a development capital company that channels the savings of Québec residents into investments in all sectors of the economy to help create and maintain jobs and to further Québec's economic growth. The Fund is a partner, either directly or through its network members, in approximately 2,000 companies.
The specialty cellulose mill is planned to have an annual production capacity of more than 200,000 air dried metric tonnes and is expected to be completed in mid-2011. In entering into the specialty cellulose sector, Fortress Specialty will focus on producing dissolving grade cellulose for the textile industry, primarily targeting viscose fibre (rayon) products which have shown strong growth of approximately 10% in China and 7% worldwide over the past five years. Rayon is a technically evolved and versatile fibre with many advantages, particularly in the warmer and higher growth regions of the world.
Fortress Paper also plans to construct an approximately 25 megawatt cogeneration facility to service a net 18.8 megawatt power supply agreement over a 15 year term. The location of the cogeneration facility provides it with access to on-site generation of biomass and an extensive local network of chip and other biomass suppliers. The cogeneration facility is expected to be supplying electricity in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Case for Improved College Teaching. Instructing High-Risk College Students.
Newton, Eunice Shaed
Assuming that nontraditional institutions espouse teaching and learning approaches that differ from conventional elitist college education, this book shows what can be done for high-risk students, and also how it can be done. Their philosophical orientations are identified and related to instructional content, objectives, and strategies. Chapters include the following: (1) "Perspectives on Instructional Systems Design," which presents theoretical and experiential views on the why, what, who, how, and how well of instructional systems; (2) "Perceptions of High-Risk College Students," which describes the personal and demographic identities of these students; (3) "Instructional Systems in American Higher Education: Private-Traditional, Land-Grant-State, Black, Community," which gives an overview of the salient characteristics of instructional procedures in each of those institutions; (4) "An Instructional Paradigm for High-Risk College Students," which includes its rationale and basic assumptions; and (5) "Taking Stock--Meeting the Challenge," which calls for positive steps to be taken in all types of institutions to systematically deal with the complex problems of upgrading undergraduate teaching. Appended are a basic, prototype English course syllabus, an article on "The Literate Demands of a Typical College Textbook," a condensed review of levels and dimensions of reading comprehension, and an article on the Directed Reading Activity (DRA) adapted to college studies.

Between three and five inches of snow fell in most areas. A winter storm warning remains in effect until 9 a.m. Friday. One to two more inches are expected to fall by then.
According to ABC 7 meteorologist Jerry Taft, the lake effect could dump another two to three inches on the south end of Lake Michigan. With temperatures dropping throughout the evening, wind chills will be near zero Friday morning.
Hundreds of flights were canceled at Chicago's airports, but by Thursday night the biggest travel challenges shifted to the roads.
Airlines at Midway and O'Hare reported significant cancellations and delays. At Midway, Southwest Airlines proactively canceled all flights in and out of the airport between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, which equates to approximately 100 flights, or 25 percent of total flights scheduled at Midway. Other airlines at Midway canceled more than 140 flights and reported minor delays.
At O'Hare, airlines canceled over 420 flights in and out of the airport. Airlines reported delays for de-icing averaging about 20 minutes.
The slick roads contributed to a number of problems for drivers. In Deerfield, five people were injured - one critically - in a multi vehicle crash. There were numerous other incidents of cars spinning out on the icy pavement.
Winter reality check sets in across the city
Before the sun came up, city snow fighters were loading up with salt. Starting around 9:30 a.m., a steady snowfall hit the city. By late Thursday evening, the Streets and Sanitation Department said more than 280 snow plows were out clearing expressways and major streets.
"Even though it's supposed to stop snowing tomorrow morning, after that the issue for us will be blowing and drifting," said Guy Tridgell, Illinois Dept. of Transportation.
"We have not touched any side streets as of yet," said said Thomas Byrne, Chicago Streets and Sanitation Commissioner. "They look pretty good though. Just they have to be patient with us in regards to getting into the side streets. We want to make sure the arterials are done and we get people home from rush hour."
That snow-fighting effort is now able to be tracked on the city's new website, ChicagoShovels.org. Officials say the site, which shows the location of snow plows, received tens of thousands of views Thursday.
"Chicago winters can change on a dime, and that's what snow command does, is actually reroute and change things, and you'll see that reflected in the map," said John Tolva, Chief Technology Officer, City of Chicago.
Earlier in the day, the snow in the Loop caught some without coats clearly off guard.
"It's a bit of a challenge with the snow blowing in your face and all, but I'm kind of glad it's coming, so we can get it out of the way," said said Rochelle Hardaway. "Hopefully, it'll end sooner. It won't drag out."
"I don't need sleeves," said Dana Green, who was out with just a vest. "I love Chicago. I love the snow. I'm great. It's a good thing right here for me."
In the neighborhoods, folks were taking shovel in hand. The wet, heavy snow had postal worker Latesha Jackson struggling to keep her letters dry.
"I'm trying, I'm trying," said Jackson. "It's pretty wet. It's kind of hard to push the cart, but it's work."
North suburban residents clear snow, have fun
In Winnetka, Tom Holmberg struggled to start his snow blower and adjust to winter.
"Not loving it that much right now, but it will come into balance once I get this snow blower started," Holmberg told ABC7.
For those without a snow blower, there was plenty of shoveling in the northern suburb.
"It's a breeze. It will take a lot more snow than this to get my heart beating pretty hard," said Tony Robinson, personal trainer.
Young hearts pumped with excitement.
"We're going to make a snowman and maybe have a snowball fight," said Charlie Kendall, Winnetka resident.
But getting around was a challenge.
"It's actually quite quicker than driving. I just go right by as everyone is backed up at stoplights," said Chris Frye.
"I promised them we would go sledding all day, and today was the day. We waited a long time," said Todd Ginsberg, Kenilworth resident.
Western suburbs deal with first snow storm of 2012
In the western suburbs, the snow started about 8:45 a.m. and fell into the evening.
At Bill Kay Chevrolet in Naperville, employees had brought the summer coupes out front due to this winter's mild temperatures.
"People usually don't come in when it snows. Usually people just browse around or their intention is to buy something. Whether or not I can earn their business today I don't know, but I sure hope I can," said ex-Marine and salesman Eric Oberlin, Bill Kay.
In Naperville, longtime residents got busy with the chores of the storm.
"It's Chicago, it happens," said resident Betty Byrne as she shoveled snow.
The city received about three inches of snow by late afternoon -- enough to keep the municipal snow command hopping. The first storm of 2012 was a chance to showcase a new computer program residents can log into to check when their streets will be cleared.
"They can look at the city in general or zoom in on to their address and see whether or not we are in their area, if it's been plowed, if it's been salted, if we're done or if it's still in progress," said Christine Schwartzhoff, operations manager, Naperville Public Works.
Schwartzhoff said being able to offer taxpayers real time information is the biggest lesson that came out of the experience with last February's blizzard.
The city's police department was grateful that it only had to deal with about 20 traffic accidents Thursday.
"If people allow themselves plenty of time, they can get there safely without being in an accident," said Sgt. Greg Bell.
Snow good news for some businesses
Plow driver Henry Meyer may have been one the few people in the Chicago area who was actually happy about the snow.
"It is nice to have nice weather, but we need the snow to make extra cash. That always helps," he told ABC7. "It is only at this time we would be out five or six times already and this is the first time, so it has hurt so far. It was bad around Christmas, because we were counting on the extra money and it never came."
While Thursday's forecast for snow and blizzard-like driving conditions may have been horrible for commuters, it was great for snow-dependent businesses that have been suffering through one of the mildest winters on record.
Veteran plow driver Jerry Gonzalez said revenue is way off because of the snow that never came.
"Lack of work and lack of income, you know, not to mention what you put out for the equipment and everything else, brand new equipment and stuff you try to get going and up and moving, and then not being able to make any money on what you put out," said Gonzalez.
With Thursday's snow, hardware stores, overstocked with unsold winter goods, have seen a renewed interest in winter. At Elston Ace Hardware, customers like Verta Ray scooped up snowblowers, ice melting products and shovels.
"Some things are in the house, but I just wanted to stock up on some more stuff just in case, you know. You know how unpredictable the weather can be," said Ray.

sculpture park regarding Invigorate
Sculpture is the creative artwork and research of creating, creating, or molding a copy of the musician imagination or something of a sophisticated total within which a bit is extracted from. Sculpture includes anything created from commonly-used materials which is the wood or metal. The artist runs on the metal or wood for sculpturing something or you to definitely preserve the artwork for commercial purposes. Since the procedure for heading a sculpture is so functional a while is considered because of it, it might be well-deserved for an musician to keep his/her masterpiece of design for self-consumption or for private browsing. We would ask yourself how to execute a sculpture? Exactly what is a general process to make one piece? Why don't we have a closer look what sort of sculpture has been made. First let me give you will be placed to test, the artist chooses for a style or the creativity to execute a sculpture. Normally there's a dummy thing for a sculpture to go with. It varies normally, it is an image of someone or something sometimes, or it could be something of the artist's thoughts. After which, the musician shall choose for the materials to be utilized. The material that'll be used depends on the consumption of the sculpture. Might it be put outside or indoors? Might it be as adornment, or a focus on for a meeting? Whichever works the musician shall choose for the best materials to be utilized. However, if the sculpture will privately maintain use, it'll be the owner who'll be deciding which material to work with since they is only going to be paying the artist for this piece. The sculpture will be began once they placed the finish night out.

First, we wanted to send a million mahalos to all the people who came up to our Tantalus house to plant an abundant food garden on a perfectly sunny day in February. Only a couple months later and we're already harvesting loads of basil, moringa, bele, nz spinach, chilis, eggplants, lemongrass, 'uala, Chaya, katuk, arugula, kale, coffee, bananas, ginger, Olena, comfrey, kabocha, lilikoi, cacao and more to make beautiful salads and stir fried on a daily basis.
We were a bit worried with the El Niño drought emptying our water catchment and no rain for 2 months before our permablitz, that all the new vulnerable plants might not make it till the rains started, but everyone threw in to rip up boxes for cardboard sheet mulching, hauling in zoo doo and wood mulch, and bringing a few gallons each of water, and before we knew it we had a well laid out water resilient food garden with guilds of supportive plants. With a little creative use of dishwashing grey water, we were able to keep the plants happy till the rains started again in earnest in April, and they're all now lush, verdant, and productive.
Right before our eyes a steep hillside covered in non-edible plants was transformed into a healthy terraced fruit and vegetable garden that was shortly pumping out tasty greens and herbs to make killer meals.
It wasn't just the plants, we had an amazing lunch spread over which many fast new friendships were formed. With incredible local ginger beer, hummus, veggie burgers, salads, chocolate and more, how could you not bond with your fellow edible plant lover? We are eternally grateful for all the people that came up the hill to our place and in no time flat had help make us a garden that still grows great food, something Hawai'i sorely needs in terms of producing its own edible bounty instead of importing it all. The productive green garden we look out over every day when we leave the house combined with all the edible "weeds" that the surrounding forests provide is all we need to provide food for the 6 people in our house and keep us all healthy, dancing, and gardening till we're 110!
Many mahalos,
Stacie & Nat

Sorry for the long delay between posts. The last week and a half has been nuts. But I did fit in a whole lot of horseback riding! And made my television debut, ha ha...
In June, Dave Brown and a crew from AMI This Week came to film a segment about the farm and our rescue animals. It was a ton of fun and here is the result:
Watch it and you'll get a mini tour of the farm and animals! Speaking of which...
Monty is doing well. He is 7 months old now and is going through his annoying teenager phase.
But he's still a good boy. Kevin keeps him in line!
Buttercup is keeping busy with vermin control. She is the best hunter in the barn!
And Millicent...
...is quite possibly the sweetest cat of all.
She has met all the other barn cats now. Her response to all of them was to purr, head-butt them, and wash their fur. She is just adorable.
And that cute little tongue!
Meanwhile, Princess Mootie is very happy these days...
And Alex loves a good box!
Honey and Daisy, who are Buttercup's sisters, were sparring on the bed this morning!
It's not serious, though. :)
And here is Archie, all ready for bed...
This is not a cat...
It's my sweaty horse! I got in two very nice trail rides this week. Yesterday Roo decided that he didn't want to get his feet wet, so he jumped a stream. I managed to stay on, even though I don't do jumps and didn't see this coming.
On today's trail ride, he decided to lie down and roll without giving me any warning. I managed to get out of my saddle when he went down to the ground, and stop him from rolling over and wrecking my saddle! That was a first for me. Sandy did this to Gordon once but she at least gave him some warning by pawing at the ground. Anyway, Roo got right back up and I got right back on.
And last weekend, I took a spin on Gordon horse Sandy!
In between all this, I have been trying to finish extracting and bottling honey...
The OSPCA Friends for Life walk is tomorrow. If you would like to sponsor me, there is still time. Click here to go to my page.
Have a great weekend!

So glad Millicent is fitting in with all the other barn cats. She is a sweetie! Mootie is adorable too. I do love orange cats. Glad to hear you are getting in some trail rides. I don't know how you fit everything in your busy day. I enjoyed the video about you and your farm very much. Take care!ReplyDelete
Love the photos of all the animals (especially those cats) and glad you are OK after your jump and tumble off your horse. Good Luck on the run!!ReplyDelete
Tried to watch the video but when I clicked on the link it said I was "entering a dangerous site" (my computer security blocked it).......the kitties are precious, so glad you are able to do some riding, etc. Don't know where you find the time!! catchatwithcarenandcodyReplyDelete

International Business Machines Corp. - Not a Good One to Hold at This Time
IBM has not been one of the leading Dow 30 - Industrials composite Companies for about a year. It is on a Hold-Cash and my Indicators are breaking down.
My previous articles on IBM (just click) will provide you with the exact history of my Forecasting and its accuracy.
My Performance for International Business Machines can be found below and is well over 31% per year for the 4.5 year holding period.
My weekly study of all my High Profile Technology / Computer Services Companies suggests that (NYSE:IBM) is no longer a strong Hold. This is another study that I enjoy very much and (IBM) is often an excellent bellwether for the general market.
My objective, each time around, is to identify changing trends for my Forecasting Analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this Sector and Industry Group.
This week's Commentary on - International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) - covers all of my Indicators, both Fundamentally for Valuations and Technically for Momentum.
A Special Note for Seniors & Retired Investors - Dividend Yield: 2.02%
I believe you folks deserve much better service and investment direction and guidance that either Wall Street or the Brokerage Community is / has been providing. Being a retired Asset Manager / Financial Analyst is a joy for me to assist you and meet your investment - needs, goals and objective. Peace of Mind for you is my mission.
Forecast w/ Performance
International Business Machines Corp. and other Computer Services Companies are NOT tracking well and are not a good place to be.
Note: The below Table is for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts. If you are seeking to "Invest Wisely" in my "Growth & Income - Asset Allocation Model" - - please Email me to open a dialog on how I go about providing super performance with a very low threshold of Risk.
My Current Forecast is not as bright and positive as in the past !
If you own or are considering owning Computer Services Companies, the securities require "Selectivity" (see below). International Business Machines Corp. is currently strong / weakening Technically and I have reservations about my Fundamental Valuations, therefore I have placed it on an Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My Current Opinion is HOLD-CASH with Very Strong Caution !
Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ), my Valuations remains relatively strong but my Valuations are "Flat" producing future declining projections of price.
Technically - ( weighting - - 35% ), my Indicators are clearly breaking down. The pull-back since March when it was selling for at about $213 is offering strong support for my Bearish "Warning." A General Market re-bound rally is in progress (with the exception for the negative "News" - - the strength of which will be very important as to when I will advise Clients to "Take Profits - and - move to Holding-Cash." It is selling for $188 - more than 10% off its highs.
Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of Research is one that is ALWAYS distorted to the Positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being Bearish. I Am NOT! My articles on "Reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.
I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for (IBM) !
A Twenty Year Perspective of International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)
It has NOT always been like you are being told by so many who do not take the time to do their homework and "Invest Wisely." International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), like most all other quality Companies, has taken some big hits over the years.
URL for (20-years of) (IBM): http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=IBM&p=W&yr=20&mn=0&dy=0&id=p89116737430&a=310675868
"Selectivity" is what I preach (along with Discipline and Patience) and is what separates the Average Investor and Mutual Funds from the profits that come with long-hours / hard work and "Selectivity."
Here are a number of the Component Companies / Peers in the Computer Services Industry Group that I focus on: (IBM), (NASDAQ:FTNT), (NYSE:NCR), (OTCPK:DBD), (NASDAQ:FFIV), (NYSE:TDC), (NASDAQ:CERN), (NYSE:WIT), (NASDAQ:MCRS), (NASDAQ:MENT), (NASDAQ:WAVX).

Everyone should own a weather radio.These tiny items will provide you with the weather forecast at any time, without you having to check the prognosis. However, their main purpose is to alert people about natural hazards in any US state, so that they can reach a safe spot in time and not get caught wandering on the streets during a hurricane. Though they are intended for the purpose of broadcasting the weather news and alert people on natural hazards, they can also be used as normal radios to listen to the news, your favorite music or radio shows you appreciate.
The only thing you need to do when you receive your new radio, to be able to enjoy various radio channels is to switch from the weather channel band from the menu to the AM/FM band and to find the one you prefer.That shouldn't be very difficult, as most products come with simple-to-use buttons.Traditionally speaking, you should have an on/off control on one side of the device, while all the other controls are arranged on the front side of the radio.
How to program your weather radio?
To be able to program your radio you need to plug it in, switch it on and then activate some basic settings. If you want to listen to the weather prognosis, search the channel by using the up and down arrows. Once you find the right frequency, and the radio can be clearly heard, you must insert your area's S.A.M.E. code to be right away notified if a storm, hurricane, or other natural disasters are awaited in your county. The device will memorize your channel and, even if you switch to another radio channel right away, the weather alert will automatically interrupt it, to notify you of any impending weather hazards. Don't forget to check for the code assigned to your county prior to that.
However, as I read in numerous weather radio reviews the radio can be programmed to notify if any other areas are affected by natural hazards. You just need to switch the menu preference from SINGLE to ANY and, thus, receive all county weather alarms. But, if you just want to be informed on 2 or 3 counties, you can go to the MULTIPLE category in your menu and introduce the specific codes. This way you will have access to weather information from various regions. The NWR will not only warn you in case of a natural disaster, but also if a serious accident has taken place in your area, if any chemical hazards have happened, if any epidemic has affected a specific region, and even let you know about any terrorist attacks and threats. Having one of these with you may indeed save your life at least one time.

(other good reasons are: 1 - Practice my really bad english, 2 - Remember to my-self how I solved a particular problem xD).
So here I'm, hope you'll enjoy it and find something useful... ;)

What gives me my inspiration? Honestly, it doesn't take much. Sometimes just a bright and whimsical design on scrapbooking paper or a cute diecut is all it takes. Of course, happy little phrases are always fun, and I love to browse through books to find them.
Here are favorites of mine that I have written in my journal and love to read over and over:
A woman who is loved always has success. -Vicki Baum
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones come daily. -Ivy Baker Priest
It was only a sunny smile,
But it scattered the night
And little did it cost in the giving;
Like morning light,
And made the day worth living.
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you'? -William A. Ward
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. -Mark Twain
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. -Mark Twain

Are you having knee aches and pains or quad soreness that just won't go away? Have you tried foam rolling, stretching, and ice baths. Perhaps you need the power of a barbell to make the pain and stiffness go away.
Here's some advice for the novice as well as experienced athlete:
Perform 10 Air Squats very slow (3 seconds down/3 second pause in the bottom)...This should take 1 minute.
2 Mins/Leg - Sit down and take the collar (not the knurling of the bar) and mash out your entire quad with emphasis on the VMO (tear drop muscle) IT Band, Psoas/Hip Flexor.
Perform 10 Air Squats using the same tempo as above (3 seconds down/3 second pause in the bottom) and notice the difference.
I perform this exact protocol 3-4x/week to keep me moving smooth.

Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory, too
And a new day will begin
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look! A new day has begun
很佩服她的勇氣及風度, 勇敢追尋夢想.

Karaoke Machine

Essay Two
Most people will sing loudly in the shower, in their car on the way to work, or perhaps even in the kitchen while they are making dinner; however there are those that love to pronounce their shower voices and sing for whoever is brave enough to listen. Those are the ones that enjoy what has come to be known as karaoke. The term Karaoke came from Japan and literally means "empty orchestra" (Southeastern Louisiana University). The literal meaning really defines just exactly what karaoke is all about. It involves typically a single person, or duet, singing along with simply the background music of a song of their choosing. They are provided a screen that has the lyrics pop up in tune and on beat to the music. With technology advancing there are now many options for those that want to sing. Most KJ's, which stands for karaoke disc jockey, can very easily and very quickly pull up any song a patron may want to sing with just a quick internet search, giving people options of songs that are endless. It is believed that karaoke was started in the 1970's in Kobe Japan, when the performer who was supposed to perform for the night was a no show. It is said that the patrons became restless and from this karaoke was born. In the same decade Daisuke Inoue invented the first coin operated karaoke machine. He made a business out of it and started renting his karaoke machines out to restaurants and bars. It is from this very first machine that the modern karaoke machine was developed (Wu). Today karaoke can be found as a way to entertain people everywhere from a local bar down the street, to weddings, birthday parties, and even at baby showers. In fact karaoke has become so popular that there are even national contests where you can compete for fame and fortune (Talent Quest National Karaoke Singing Contest). People travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to compete in these...

This is an on-going collection I started when I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, which has resulted in a restricted, super healthy, no ice cream, diet. These oil paintings represent taboo foods (Cheese cake! How sad is that?), cheat treats and some were just so damn cute I had to paint them.

Really like the school's new Web page ( School Platform). I think its great! Will familiarise with it more when I have more time.
I wanted to provide feedback on the after school maths sessions that were run pre SATS. These sessions helped my child tremendously. Repetition and additional time and support to recap on areas of uncertainty were just what was needed. Thank you so much for organising this and to Miss Marshall for running them.
I think that the Friday Maths club after school is a fantastic idea and is proving to be a big success for us.
I want to express my gratitude for all the help that you have given us recently in addressing concerns over our child's behaviour, your help and support is very much appreciated.

text: Lee Cemetery off of Hwy 60 E. Wilkinson Blvd, turn on Lee Cemetery Rd. Runs next to the Napa Auto Part Store. It was the largest cemetery I found in Morehead. The bottom part of the cemetery is on flat land, then works it's way up hill. With lots of pine trees it has some beauty. Below is a funny picture of a mailbox with flowers in it. This made me laugh; I wonder why they have this there! I was able to find some needed photos for findagrave.com at this cemetery, just buy looking. I am sure this cemetery has an office someplace, but it was not on the grounds.

Reader Alicia and her husband bought their 1955 mountain cabin just 12 hours after seeing it — even though they knew they had work to do. The cabin itself was in great shape, but the previous owners had painted nearly all of the original knotty pine walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors and windows white. Virtually every wall and ceiling surface of the 1,800 s.f. cabin was whitewashed — ouch! Undeterred, the knotty-pine-loving couple started up their sanders and broke out the amber shellac — restoring all the gorgeous, original knotty pine back to warm, woodsy and wonderful!
Alicia writes:
I just wanted to say Hi and thank you for such a great site! My family and I purchased a WONDERFUL 1955 cabin in the mountains of Montana. The cabin was built in 1955 on an old, very small ski mountain which closed for business in the 60's. My husband and I saw the real estate listing for it about a year ago, and purchased it twelve hours later. Typically we do not make crazy decisions on impulse, but we knew we just had to buy it (of course, we hadn't sold the current house we were living in, but that's another story!)
Many of its wonderful, original features were intact, but sadly many were "updated". Every single wood surface, except the beams (which were thankfully left alone) was painted white over the original knotty pine interior….the ceiling, the windows, the doors, EVERYTHING!! I will add a pic of a "before" wall, just so you can see. My husband and I sanded down EVERY SINGLE SURFACE in the entire 1,800 sq. ft. cabin. We then used amber shellac to create an original feel…it came out so beautifully!!
Precautionary Pam jumps in here to remind: Remember, readers, that the surfaces and layers of the materials in our old houses may contain vintage nastiness like lead and asbestos. Be sure to consult with a properly licensed professional to assess/test what you have before getting out those sanders! Renovate Safe!
We worked SO HARD on the paneling and it is fun to share the results!
We have made only cosmetic restorations that we could complete ourselves because of a very limited budget. Our next project is to expand the kitchen and try to recreate a knotty pine kitchen. Eventually we plan to remodel the kitchen and expand it into the dining room a bit (the dining room is larger than it needs to be and the kitchen is super small). The kitchen still has half of its original white, metal cabinetry, and the original GE freezer ( which we now use as a refrigerator, thanks to a new thermostat to convert it). The hardwood floors are original throughout, as are the beams, windows, and fireplaces in the dining room and master bedroom.
We just love our cabin and are thankful that we could purchase it and restore it….most of the time in our area, old cabins like this are torn down to make room for a large "trophy house".
I am just glad to share our labor of love with you….it is so nice to visit your site and see posts from others who appreciate pine paneling and don't want to paint over it!
Alicia — what an inviting home!
I've never understood why people buy a house like this — which likely attracts them in the first place with its woodsy feel — and then completely neutralize it with paint. Isn't the whole point of buying a cabin in the woods, to feel like you are in a cabin in the woods?
We can only imagine the hours of backbreaking work it must have taken to remove all of that white paint. The final results look amazing — so inspiring!

What a BEAUTIFUL job you did – this was 'a true labor of love' – What enjoyment to sit back, look at those gorgeous carmel wood walls and know you've brought back a piece of history. I bet the original owners (wherever they might be) are cheering!!!:)
Well done! Absolutely gorgeous!
I'm a big proponent of using amber shellac instead of stain\polyurethane for wood finishes. I feel the coloring is much warmer and inviting – it's easier to maintain and repair and easier to apply (no waiting days between coats, and it doesn't have all the chemicals in polyurethane and doesn't smell as bad.) I recently recoated all of the oak floors in my 1960 MCM with fresh coats of amber shellac and am really happy with the results.
Pam\Kate – I would suggest an article covering different wood finishes and comparing the qualities of each one. A lot of MCM houses before the early 1960s are shellacked instead of stained and polyurethaned. This makes a difference when you want to go back and restore or refinish. Most folks aren't aware that old coatings may be different and they just walk into the nearest hardware store and see a wall of polyurethane and pick it up and run.
This project turned out great – congrats!
The 'before' was already very charming, but the after… WOW! Just so warm and inviting! I want to live there! It's storybook homey!
That's a whole-lotta wood–too much for me, but I guess it works for a cabin (which is probably bigger than my condo). Yet and still, I cannot understand how anyone could paint over real wood. It has a natural beauty to be admired and enjoyed, IMO. Staining is permissible, but not painting. It says so right her on page 43 of my rule book. Oh, and I am still looking for some place to buy some knotty-wood paneling for my dining room.
My new office is in the den with unpainted paneling. As I make it a cozy office, everyone keeps asking me "are you going to paint it? You should paint it." Thank you for the reinforcement that I should stick to my guns and leave it alone.
Absolutely gorgeous. Great job, you guys! So glad you rescued it.
Wow! This cabin is so cute! The amount of work you guys put into restoring the original pine paneling must have felt endless and exhausting. However, your decision was totally worth it! Beautiful restoration! I can just picture sitting by the fire with hot cocoa and a good book. Awesome job you guys. Can't wait to see your kitchen extension project next!
I grew up with knotty pine, in my childhood bedroom at home in Illinois and at the cottage in Wisconsin, both were early 50″s. I loved those places and love what you have done for your cabin. It's a work of art! Good luck with the kitchen. Just wondering if you live there full time. I would be tempted to 🙂
John NYC
sand all the paint off? you wouldn't use paint stripper first? i just took 60 years of paint off my front doors & their corresponding wooden storm doors. sanding would've been insane; taken too long, used too much paper. i also have paint on my redwood sided house which i'd love to get off, but stripping a house is more than i can handle.
nevertheless, featured house looks wonderful!
Love it!!!! Great Job!!! Your house is just like what I have in mind to build on my land – a new "old" house – I have collected lots & lots of what I call architectural salvage – waiting to be given a new life – I need a source for the knotty pine paneling though – any suggestions would be appreciated
I LOVE your work…..the cabin looks so cozy and homey….. Our wood will not be stained/or painted! We only want area rugs and privacy blinds for the windows…… ASAP we are installing usable shutters that will latch for when we are gone. The cabin is tiny tiny…600 sq ft on the first floor and then 250 on the sleeping loft for guests…..The outside is wavy sided cedar and it looks like a fairy's home……Since I couldn't find a 1955 cabin, this will have to do~
Thank you for this awe inspiring story! We just moved into an old house where the previous owners had painted the old knotty pine paneling a h****** [edited] color I can only describe as 'mustard potato salad yellow'. Ugh, what were they thinking? So far I have stripped a patch with Citristrip. It took all evening. Next up I borrowed a heat gun and tested a spot and it looks like it will work but again, but soooooo much work. Now every time I get discouraged I will click on this story to keep me going. Onward knotty soldiers freeing trees from their uncomely false clothes.
Exquisite. The shellac looks perfect, and the decor could be a BBC period piece. Kudos!
Great job. Beautiful. Glad to see I'm not the only one on the planet who decided to restore my cute home versus whitewashing or even worse, tearing it down for a trophy home. And that I'm not the only one to put in such a lot of cleaning and work into it 🙂 Michaela
Thank you! We just bought a 1960 house on a lake that has lots of knotty pine. Everyone assumes that we would want to paint it. If we wanted to do that, we would have bought a different house. I'm glad to see that you are restoring what was once there.

The judge in the Soham murders trial was so angered by press coverage of the case that he is understood to have thrown a pile of newspapers across the courtroom during a pre-trial hearing.
Mr Justice Moses described press coverage of the case as "sensational and lurid" and warned that serious trials were at risk because of the way they were being reported.
Following the conviction of Ian Huntley for the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman on Wednesday, the Attorney General issued a statement repeating his "strong concern" about some of the reporting of the case.
A spokesman for Lord Goldsmith confirmed The People, Daily Mirror and radio station Beacon FM were still being investigated for possible contempt of court.
At the Press Gazette/Newspaper Society Law for Journalists Conference in London last month, Goldsmith said reporting before and during the trial was "frankly unacceptable".
His comments can only be reported in full now that the trial has ended.
He said: "The trial judge made his concerns plain in his ruling on an abuse of process application which was based on the extensive media coverage.
"Mr Justice Moses held that there could be a fair trial, but he was clearly very concerned about some of the coverage, which he described as 'stories written in emotional, sensational and lurid language'.
"He sounded a clear warning that one day prejudicial reporting will actually prevent a high-profile case alleging a serious crime from being tried at all."
He said: "I cannot imagine that any journalist would want to undermine that fairness. Would the author of any of these articles wish to face the families and the friends of the victims whose interests they so loudly seek to defend and confess that their stories and photographs prevented a trial taking place at all?" Goldsmith's comments were seen as a gaffe at the time because arguably he was breaking reporting restrictions by talking about a pre-trial application.
Following the incident, Society of Editors director Bob Satchwell called for a meeting with Goldsmith to discuss the confused nature of the contempt of court law. He said: "Even the Attorney General had some difficulty in knowing where the boundaries lie."
After the Attorney General had finished speaking an aide returned to the conference hall and asked journalists present not to report the comments made about the pre-trial hearing.
He said: "The Attorney General spoke to you this morning about a number of issues that concerned him regarding contempt of court. In doing so he referred to an abuse of process application made in the trial of Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr.
"Many of you would have been aware of that application and the judge's comments in relation to it.
However, it has not been reported in accordance with reporting restrictions.
The Attorney General omitted to remind you of that this morning.
"The important thing is that no steps are taken that could prejudice the trial. It is for that reason that the Attorney General has asked me to remind you not to report his remarks relating to that abuse of process application."
A local free newspaper described Ian Huntley as "evil to the core" in a comment column while he was still on trial at the Old Bailey.
Toby Hines, editor of the Helston News & Advertiser, called Huntley "disgustingly sick, twisted and dangerous" and described his defence as "so ridiculous it would be comical if it wasn't so serious".
He went on to say: "This evil sick bastard should hang at the very least."
Wolverhampton radio station Beacon FM is being investigated by the Attorney General's office for running a phone-in on whether listeners thought Huntley was telling the truth. Two breakfast show presenters went on leave following the incident.

I used acrylic washes, sponging and stamping to create a background. I then drew the image using graphite pencil. I punched holes around two edges and crocheted an edging through the holes. I then made and attached painted, stitched and heat distressed tyvek flower and leaves which represent me as I am now, in the autumn of my life….a little bit worn round the edges….a little tattered and torn…..some bits missing…..but still holding together pretty well. I gave my image an ear ring and added some tiny pearl dew drops to the flower and leaves. I also decorated the back and intend to use the finished piece as the front cover of a book about me.
I am primarily a stitcher and am relatively new to mixed media but i really enjoyed this challenge.
