What occasion doesn't call for a simple Macaroni Salad recipe? Well, a soup party, perhaps; I wouldn't serve it with soup.
But no picnic, barbecue, hot or cold sandwich, or fried chicken dinner would be complete without it.
Stick with the classic pickle-olive-onion
recipe with mayo dressing (no one will complain) or gourmet it up by
adding goodies or changing out the dressing.
1 pound salad macaroni
1 (6-ounce) can black olives
1 medium yellow onion
1 cup finely chopped dill pickle
1 cup mayonnaise (more or less to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until tender. Don't overcook it. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander.
In the meantime, slice the olives and chop the onion.
the pasta to a serving bowl. Add the olives, onion, pickle, and
mayonnaise. Salt and pepper the mixture to taste. Chill.
Add up to 3 cups of great goodies to the classic macaroni salad recipe for flavor and color. Don't overdo it, though. Adjust the dressing if necessary.
Change out the dressing:
Here's a delicious, out-of-the-box macaroni salad dressing idea from 101 Cookbooks:

Assemblyman John Ceretto is initiating talks to seek support for two new economic development initiatives to boost the Niagara Falls tourist economy. First, Ceretto is exploring the possibility of building the new Buffalo Bills stadium in Niagara Falls. A recent report about the stadium task force named Niagara Falls as a possible site. In addition, he is looking to bring Nik Wallenda back to the area.
"Bringing the Bills to Niagara Falls would be a major victory for our community. It would give our local tourism economy a big shot in the arm and create jobs for Western New York families," Ceretto said. "With the real threat that the Bills could leave, I am willing to work with potential suitors to make sure they stay here. Everyone involved wants to see the Bills stay in Western New York, and I think a partnership between the Bills and Niagara Falls would be a mutually beneficial relationship that should be discussed."
Ceretto also wants to bring Wallenda back to Niagara Falls. Wallenda is currently performing in nearby Darien Lake in Genesee County. To return to Niagara Falls, he would need a place to perform. Ceretto suggests using investments from the "Buffalo Billion" or the $40 million Niagara Falls economic development competition to fund such a project.

Many people looking to purchase a new vacuum cleaner find themselves in a dilemma about which one they should buy. There are so many different types and styles available, it can be hard to know which one is the best. Thats why we have put together this detailed review of the Oreck Commercial XL2100RHS 8 Pound Commercial Upright Vacuum to help you weigh the pros and cons to see if this one is right for you.
With just about everything, there are going to be good features and other features that may not be so great. First lets talk about the good features and what others who purchased this machine like about it.
The Oreck Commercial XL2100RHS 8 Pound Commercial Upright Vacuum has a 12 wide cleaning head. Due to its size, you can get all your vacuuming done more quickly and who doesnt like quick! Additionally, it doesnt leave a center dirt path either. This Oreck comes with a unique, easy-grip handle that received the Ease-of-Use commendation from the Arthritis Foundation. It also has an automatic floor adjustment that makes it super easy to go from carpet to bare floors and it has double helix brushes that spin at 6500 rpms! And if you are worried about scuffing up your baseboards, corners and furniture, you will love that this machine has non-marring bumpers to help protect your home.
- Its built in the USA.
- Comes with a 35 foot long cord.
- It has side edge brushes.
- The low profile allows it to lay flat and makes it easy to clean underneath furniture.
- It has a top fill bag design (disposable bags).
- Very lightweight, making it easy to clean.
- Its durable and easily picks up pet hair.
There are many reviews that state seniors and people with back problems love their Oreck because its so lightweight and easy to use. There are numerous reviews from people who have had their Orecks (different models of course) for 12, 15 and even 32 years! Thats proof positive that these Orecks are durable and will last for years, making them a great investment.
Unfortunately, there are a handful of reviews from buyers who stated they had problems with their not so old Orecks. But thats to be expected, just like anything else, no manufacturer can guarantee that none of their machines will ever malfunction or break and the Oreck is no exception. However, there are only a few of these types of complaints, so thats a good thing. Here are some of the other issues people didnt like about their new Oreck.
- Its hard to push on dense carpet.
- This machine is not self-propelled.
- Its very noisy.
- The Oreck doesnt have a hose.
- The red cord on the gray colored machine is not very attractive.
- Some stated the looped handle is way too long and other commented that the cord was too long. However, these types of issues are subjective since likes and dislikes vary from person to person.
The Bottom Line
We were extremely impressed at the durability of the Oreck brand overall. We have reviewed many, many different types of vacuum cleaners and have never seen reports of them lasting as long as the Oreck. Therefore, if you are looking for a high quality machine that cleans extremely well and is going to last a very long time, then we highly recommend the Commercial XL2100RHS 8 Pound Commercial Upright Vacuum!

SL: For sure. And of course, if that's what we're given, we're going to look at it as a great opportunity and always try to get the positive spin.
MS: It is what it is. You can get upset and complain, but you still have to do an ironman, so you have to try and make the best of it. What would you do next year – where would you put that ironman in the season? Would you do New Zealand again?
SL: As much as I love that race, I far prefer, for instance, how Leanda has gone about it. Everyone thought we were crazy, but she did Kona and then she did the 70.3 world champs and then she did Ironman Arizona. My biggest thing was wanting to make sure she was still motivated and mentally fired up to do that, because in my opinion if you're not mentally fired up to do an ironman, you don't do it. There are too many ups and downs and it's too hard to put yourself in a position where you're not 100% ready to face what you're going to face. But she felt incredibly motivated and went out and did it and came in third. She put together an awesome race. She didn't feel awesome because it was the end of a long season, but she put together an awesome race. And then she secured herself for Kona this year, as long as she had continued solid results. For me, that's the ideal – if your body is ready to take that on – and then you get your big break after that. I think that's perfect. I think it also allows those athletes that love racing 70.3's to come into the season and feel fast and take that racing to the next level. That's always been our goal is to take those 70.3 races to the next level, which will only help you at ironman. But I really wanted to respect Rinny's recovery over the winter. And not just the physical recovery, it's also the mental recovery and having flexibility in your life. If you want to go out and have fun one night you can and you don't have to be at the pool at 6:00am. So we decided to do New Zealand. We decided we were going to do the best that we could to prepare. This was another thing she had to get comfortable with. I said, "Our preparation for New Zealand is gong to look really different to what we did going into Kona. You just have to look at this race as we're going to go and we're going to get it done." Obviously we wanted to have the best possible result, but we just had to get it done. But like you're saying, these athletes are so competitive. And the conditions were terrible, she had a flat tire, she was 20 minutes down coming off the bike. At that point she was fine to just finish and do the best she could. But someone like that, she starts running and feeling OK and putting quick time into it, and then she absolutely just hammered the run – way beyond what she was capable of at that point. That's what's so exceptional about these athletes – they're able to find that utmost potential within themselves and access it and deal with the agony that goes along with doing that when they're not really ready for it. It took so much out of her. It took months before she was feeling good again. But again it depends on the athlete. If you have an athlete that can go do an early season race and hold back a bit, take it in a way where there's less pressure, then I think it's fine. But if you have someone like Rinny, I know that no matter what she'll go to her death going as hard as she can to try and win the race.
MS: And her racing style doesn't always give her the luxury of being able to shut it down. Crowie's the same way. Usually there's some uber-biker that is off the front by 10 or 15 minutes. Crowie and Rinny are very similar – they really unleash the run to win races. But that doesn't give you the luxury to kind of cruise it, because you don't know what's going to happen. The last part of the marathon people fade so much and that's where all the time is taken out. Then you have somebody like Julie who can get off the bike with a 20-minute lead and she has more luxury to kind of keep tabs on what's going on behind her and only run hard enough to win the race. So I'm sure that sort of plays into that, versus letting it go. I think that's what Rinny saw and it motivated her. She was just eating that time. It's hard for them to shut it down because they're in the moment. They want to win that race.

Michael Woodford, who had previously warned that he would not return to Japan, said he had reversed his decision and would meet with police and investigators next week.
Olympus is under investigation after a series of accusations from Mr Woodford forced the company to admit that it had inflated acquisition fees to hide investment losses. He fled the country after being ousted as chief executive on October 14, but calls for him to be reinstated have increased.
News of Mr Woodford's plans come as Olympus's largest shareholders – Nippon Life Insurance – cut its stake in the camera and medical equipment maker from 8.2pc to 5.1pc.
However, a Nippon Life spokesman told Reuters that it would continue to hold stock in the company. "Our basic stance is that we will continue to support Olympus due to the company's high technological strength in its core business and because it is in the public's interest," he said.
Olympus is under pressure to outline its recovery plans after the company saw its shares fall 80pc after the scandal was uncovered.
The Nikkei Business Daily reported that the company was mulling selling off assets in order to retain the support of its banks. Olympus is expected to face heavy asset writedowns when it publishes its accounts in the coming weeks.
The Japanese stock market regulator has given Olympus a deadline of December 14 to file its latest trading numbers.
Katsunori Nagayasu, chairman of the Japanese Bankers Association and president of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, said it was the responsibility of Olympus's major creditors to show support for the company.
"But, if a company is found to have problems, like the involvement of anti-social forces, banks are not able to give support," he said.
Olympus shares – which rose 15pc on Wednesday – put on another 1pc on Thursday.

The 60th PGA Merchandise Show closed Saturday and celebrated its history while launching what many believed to be the most vibrant PGA Show Week in recent history to begin a strong 2013 for the golf industry. The 2013 PGA Merchandise Show brought together more than 1,000 companies and brands along with more than 43,000 PGA professionals, buyers and industry leaders from 75 countries to introduce the latest in golf equipment, apparel, accessories and services, January 23-26, in Orlando, Fla.
"It's gratifying to see the PGA Merchandise Show back in great form," said Ted Bishop, presiding over his first PGA Merchandise Show as President of The PGA of America. "This is the biggest the PGA Show has been since 2008, and that's a great signal that golf is vibrant again."
Coming off a strong year for business in 2012, a who's who of the game's biggest brands and hottest new companies showcased new products meant to keep the momentum going in 2013. Introductions from industry leaders such as Titleist, Callaway Golf, TaylorMade-adidas Golf, Ping, Nike, Bridgestone and Cobra Puma Golf created strong buzz on the PGA Show floor.
Attending industry professionals came to the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show from all 50 U.S. states and around the world with the top five countries (outside of U.S.) represented in attendance being Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Korea. The top five U.S. states represented in attendance were Florida, New York, Georgia, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
While the PGA Merchandise Show is not open to the public, golf enthusiasts continue to be able to have an exclusive window into the game's most innovative new equipment, accessories and products, along with leading CEOs and personalities of the game, by reviewing PGA Show Week action at www.PGA.com, www.pgashow.com, www.golfchannel.com.
Industry Leaders Remark on the PGA Show
Golf business leaders, manufacturers and PGA Professionals alike lauded the annual industry gathering for helping to move forward the business of the game in 2013.
"This is my 33rd Show and our 20th year as an exhibitor," said Harris MacNeill, president of Champ and MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. "For us, the PGA Merchandise Show has helped us establish our brand and establish relationships with national and international customers. It's the single most important thing we do all year."
"The buzz from Demo Day carried over to the Show floor, where there was exceptional traffic and energy from the opening of the Show right up to Saturday afternoon. For us, as a brand, FootJoy would have to give the Show an A grade from start to finish," said Chris Garrett, senior manager, FJ Consumer marketing.
"The PGA Merchandise Show is fantastic this year," noted PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. "Now, if we can transfer this positive energy to the year ahead, it promises to be another productive year. The industry is moving in a positive direction."
"For us, it was definitely an A Show. The quality of the attendees was extremely high and we had appointments from the opening bell Thursday until the closing Saturday. The fact that we are able to invite people to come and design their own headwear has been beneficial. The PGA Merchandise Show has helped Pukka build its brand over the past several years, and the momentum at the Show this year was extraordinary," said John Bond, vice president of sales, Pukka Headwear.
"There seems to be more energy and enthusiasm at the Show this year, and there seems to be a lot more new product introductions than I remember in a long time," said Becky Iverson, PGA director of golf at The Bridges Golf Course in Madison, Wis. "The cool factor is higher than in many years. The most difficult thing is separating what I want to buy for myself from what I need to buy for our members. This is also the best organized Show I've seen in a long time. It seems similar products are near each other so you don't have to walk the entire exhibition hall to see similar companies."
"We were slammed the first two days, which is a very positive sign for a new company. The real surprise was the quality and quantity of international buyers who stopped by our booth. We had people from South Africa, France, Germany and the United Kingdom who saw our Black Clover hats, belts and hat caddies for the first time and loved them," said Black Clover president Michael Henry.
"There is a sense of excitement with all of the new equipment introductions, and a lot of positive vibes at the Show this year," explained Scott Glass, PGA head professional at Rolling Rock Club in Laughlintown, Pa. "The thing I like about the Show is you always find something unique and different."
"You can't beat the efficiency of the PGA Merchandise Show, as far as being able to meet with more than 1,000 buyers in a single setting," said Jeff Herold, founder and president of Club Glove. "Judging by the traffic and the interest, there are positive signs that the economy has turned and there are better times ahead."
"It's amazing how many companies are introducing new products at the Show this year," said Mark Parisi, PGA Professional at Hudson National Golf Club in Newark, Delaware. "There seems to be a lot more electricity and optimism on the Show floor this year, too."
"We're seeing customers who are ready to buy," said Jake Rawson, Cutter & Buck's global golf sales director. "2012 was a strong year with great sell-through in a lot of golf shops, and people look like they're trying to build on that momentum. There are a lot of great activities going on all around the Show, and you can really feel the energy in the building."
PGA Show Week Recap
PGA Show Week began on Wednesday, Jan. 23, with the 11th anniversary of the PGA Show Outdoor Demo Day at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge in Winter Garden, Fla. More than 7,000 PGA Professionals and invited retailers tested the latest products from 100-plus golf equipment, training aids, performance wear and golf accessory companies. The outdoor event also featured for the first time new Instructional Workshops presented by leading PGA instructors Hank Haney, Michael Breed and Mike Malaska, who provided insight into becoming a world class teacher, instructor, and coach to today's golfers.
The PGA Merchandise Show traditionally attracts international industry leaders, top CEOs, influential retailers and scores of celebrity endorsers from the realms of professional golf, golf instruction and entertainment. Davis Love III, the 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain and winner of the 1997 PGA Championship, joined PGA of America Officials in the grand opening and was among a long list of participating celebrities at this year's industry-only PGA Merchandise Show including Annika Sorenstam, Ian Poulter, Dottie Pepper, Jesper Parnevik, Luke Donald, Paula Creamer, Natalie Gulbis, Lexi Thompson, Blair O'Neal, Anna Nordqvist, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Lee Trevino, Nancy Lopez, Meg Mallon, Stacy Lewis, Butch Harmon, David Toms, Hank Haney, Michael Breed, Suzann Pettersen and more.
In addition to the busy marketplace among nearly 10 miles of Show aisles in the Orange County Convention Center, Show days were full of professional learning opportunities during industry presentations at the PGA Forum Stage, in the new PGA Education Conference and at daily presentations on the FIT to W.I.N. stage, sponsored by the Titleist Performance Institute.
Attendees also enjoyed an energetic PGA Show floor featuring interactive exhibits, hundreds of vendor specials and promotions; plus some 47 equipment testing bays at the Indoor Demo Days; a centralized New Product Zone for a one-stop shopping of the newest golf merchandise; a new Fashion Showcase and Lounge; an Inventor's Spotlight Pavilion for patented products not yet available at retail and numerous specialty exhibitor pavilions including a new PGA Golf Travel Pavilion, PGA Partners Pavilion, New Exhibitor Discovery Zone, and several international exhibitor pavilions.

2014 PGA Show to Have New Tuesday- Friday Format
The PGA of America and PGA Worldwide Golf Exhibitions announced a new day schedule for the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show. Following feedback from exhibitors and attendees regarding shifting PGA Show days away from the weekend, the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show will run Tuesday through Friday, Jan. 21-24. The 2014 PGA Show will tee off with the traditional Outdoor Demo Day at Orange County National Golf Center on Tuesday, Jan. 21 (rather than on Wednesday of PGA Show Week). The 2014 PGA Show continues at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando on Wednesday through Friday, Jan. 22-24.
"With overwhelming support from exhibitors, PGA Professionals and golf industry members, we're pleased to announce this new day pattern for the PGA Merchandise Show after extensive research and following a course of due diligence with our partners in the industry and in Orlando," said PGA Worldwide Golf Exhibitions Senior Vice President Ed Several. "The new weekday dates of the PGA Show allow PGA Professionals to return to their facilities as needed and our attending industry members to return home for valuable weekend time spent with family and friends."
The next U.S. PGA Golf Show, the 2013 PGA Expo is scheduled for the week of August 19th at The Venetian Hotel and Casino during Fashion Week on the famous Las Vegas Strip. On the international scene, two other major golf shows will address the global business of golf. The PGA Merchandise Show-China is scheduled for March 22-24 at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. The PGA Merchandise Show-Asia, the sister show to the China Golf Show, is scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 2 in Shenzen, China.

So lets think about this a bit. How do you sell art outside the normal venues today? You've come to a good information page for just the right answer.
In today's world, there are so many ways to earn an income with your art, sometimes it's hard to focus on any one and still be effective.
I'm going to only list a few here to get you started, and as time goes on, expand your horizons!
This first place is one that I recommend for a lot of reasons, but mainly, it's the quality of the product they produce for you, and it's free to list your art on their site!
Selling art, your art, photography, illustration and more.
Imagekind.com is one of the fastest growing art communities on the web. They are dedicated to selling and producing your work with the highest quality.
Click anywhere in the ad to the left, and once there, find the "Sell Art" navigation button at the top. It will direct you to all that you need to do to begin selling some of your work right away without a big website. You'll still have to promote the images through your blog, twitter, facebook or where ever you presently have a web presence.
The next site that I recommend is Etsy! Etsy is the online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade.
They connect buyers with independent creators and shop owners to find the very best in handmade, vintage and supplies.
There is a small fee for each item you post, but for a $.20 fee for a 4 month ad, it's pretty hard to beat!
They also have a tremendous newsletter and blog to support you as a seller.
These next 2 places come with hi marks from folks that I know have used them both in terms of purchasing and selling! You can have your artwork displayed on so much these days, it truly can be a difficult decision! Either place will do a great job, and both have affiliate programs where others can help sell your art and they receive a commission. Imagine, an army of folks selling your exquisite flower card from their own online shop!
Check these folks out and start earning.
So, now you have ideas for four different locations to post your stuff, and you've never left your chair! Modern technology! One last place that I really don't need to mention, but eBay also sells a great deal of art. Some of it is really, really good.

M-PESA Breaks Down Regulatory Entry Barriers
story by 60 minutes demonstrates the value of mobile money. What large corporations are jockeying to roll out in the US, Kenya has been doing for years with the most bear bones of mobile technologies. Users are able to make millions of micro-transactions per day over the mobile network using M-PESA. There are heart warming vignettes about the various ways this benefits consumers. But the best part of the story for me was the erosion of entry barriers (around the 11:00 minute mark). The CEO of the mobile carrier explains:
But other jurisdictions have taken notice.
But for the courage of some Kenyan government official, this may never have gotten off the ground.
Actually, when M-PESA started, Kenya's commercial banks implored the government to impose regulations to impede its development, but the government decided to take a hands-off approach, which is pretty unusual.
But other jurisdictions have taken notice.
The most effective barrier for the success of mobile money around the world is the banking lobby. The banking lobby in most parts of the world is a very strong lobby. And banks have looked at what's happened in Kenya and have decided that they don't want to see that happening in their own countries.
But for the courage of some Kenyan government official, this may never have gotten off the ground.

Is predatory pricing profitable?
Predatory pricing is rare, at least in the US, because it is an investment that rarely pays off. After an incumbent firm drives an entrant out of the market by pricing low (and deliberately losing money), the incumbent must be able to recoup the lost money by raising price--without attracting more entry--when the entrant exits the industry.
Perhaps the best examples of predatory pricing come from the airline industry, when the Department of Justice brought several cases in the 1990's.
See here why these cases are so hard to win.
Perhaps the best examples of predatory pricing come from the airline industry, when the Department of Justice brought several cases in the 1990's.
Probably our best known airline predation investigation involved Northwest's response to Reno Air's entry into the Reno-Minneapolis city-pair in 1993. Not only did Northwest institute service of its own on this route that it had previously abandoned, it also opened a new mini-hub in Reno that overlaid much of Reno Air's own operation. Our investigation was well under way when the matter was resolved because, with the intervention of the Department of Transportation, Northwest decided to abandon its overlay of Reno Air's hub operation.
See here why these cases are so hard to win.
In other words, the government needs to prove that the low fares and extra flights would prove financially ruinous if continued indefinitely. To make the argument stick, the government will have to prove that American could reasonably expect to recover its losses after Vanguard or Sun Jet exits the market by raising fares -- confident that its high fares would not attract another round of upstarts.

REPOST: Fee-for-service medicine causes amputations
It is difficult to align the incentives of physicians (making money) with the goals of patients (low cost, high quality care) due to asymmetric information: only the physician knows what the patient wants.
Here is what happens:
BOTTOM LINE: Incentives matter
We have blogged about this before, e.g., physician/patients are less likely to deliver by cesearean section, but now we have a BCG study comparing Medicare Advantage plans to traditional fee-for-service Medicare:
What distinguishes Medicare Advantage plans from traditional fee-for-service plans is the degree to which they use mechanisms designed to encourage the delivery of cost-effective quality care. Three critical mechanisms are financial incentives that are aligned with clinical best practices, a selective network of providers, and more active care management that emphasizes prevention to minimize expensive acute care.
Here is what happens:
- Single-year mortality rates fell from 6.8 percent in the traditional fee-for-service sample to 1.8 percent
- Patients in the Medicare Advantage plans had shorter average stays in the hospital (about 19 percent shorter.)
- Patients in the managed plans were more likely to receive preventive care ...For example, diabetic patients in the fee-for-service sample had an average of 11.5 amputations per 1,000 patients; those in HMO plans with global capitation had only 0.3.
BOTTOM LINE: Incentives matter
"We've found that U.S. private insurers have created an operating model that can deliver better care at a lower cost and have a major role to play in the ongoing national efforts to improve health care quality," said Stefan Larsson, a BCG senior partner and coauthor of the report. "Quite simply, we've found that the more aligned the care, the better the quality delivered."

Running an art auction
Art is a textbook example of the advantages of an auction over simple posted price: an auction awards the art to the highest value bidder, and sets a price. Competition between the auction houses has taken the form of price guarantees:
Christie's agreed to give the seller of "Four Marilyns," Turkish financier Kemal Cingillioglu, a $40 million house guarantee, which means the house promised to pay him up to $40 million no matter how the silkscreen fared. Since it sold for less [only $32 million], the house could now need to pay him the difference. Christie's declined to discuss the terms of the deal.HT: Chris

REPOST: Dating Game
Dating Game
QUESTION: A man and a woman are trying to decide where to go on a date. The woman prefers ballet, but the man prefers going to a football game. There is some gain to going together, but each would rather go to their preferred activity alone, than together to their less preferred activity. Diagram this game, and show how best to play.
Football Ballet
Football (1,4) (0,0)
Ballet (2,2) (4,1)
The man does better by going to the football game, regardless what the woman does, and the woman does better by going to the ballet, regardless what the man does. These are called "dominant strategies." The equilibrium of the game is for each to go to their preferred activity.
Football Ballet
Football (1,4) (0,0)
Ballet (2,2) (4,1)
The man does better by going to the football game, regardless what the woman does, and the woman does better by going to the ballet, regardless what the man does. These are called "dominant strategies." The equilibrium of the game is for each to go to their preferred activity.
Notice, however, that the two players could make themselves better off by cooperating. Self interest is taking them to a place (2,2) with a lower group payoff than the cells on the main diagonal.
There are two ways to change the game to increase group payouts.
1. Alternate. If the couples take turns, their group payout goes up.
2. Have the player that receives the higher payoff, compensate the other player for going to their less preferred activity.
In this case, the man could give 1.5 units to the woman if they go to the football game, which would change the payoff in the upper left to (2.5, 2.5). This would change the equilibrium of the game.
Alternatively, the woman could give 1.5 units to the man if they go to the ballet. This is the premise of an off-color South Park episode.

REPOST: the Real meaning of Thanksgiving
What they don't tell you about Thanksgiving in school
Peter Klein gives us a more complete story of the first Thanksgiving:
Faced with potential starvation in the spring of 1623, the colony decided to implement a new economic system. Every family was assigned a private parcel of land. They could then keep all they grew for themselves, but now they alone were responsible for feeding themselves. While not a complete private property system, the move away from communal ownership had dramatic results.

Does life insurance cause suicide?
Insurance companies anticipate this kind of moral hazard, and typically include an exception for death by suicide. However, the exception lasts only a few years, and varies by country. Economists compared suicide rates in countries with shorter exceptions and found statistically significant evidence of moral hazard:
HT: Mollie
...the shorter the exemption period, the greater the demand for life insurance. And the greater the demand for life insurance, the higher the suicide rate.

How quickly does a strong dollar benefit consumers?
The answer from the Fed's Stanley Fischer:
One way in which the stronger dollar depresses inflation is by putting downward pressure on import prices. ..
An important difference between the transmission of dollar appreciation to inflation compared with output is that the effects on inflation are probably more transient. In particular, given that most of the effect on inflation occurs through changes in import prices--and import prices respond quickly to the exchange rate--the peak effect on inflation probably occurs within a few quarters. From the standpoint of the outlook, this transience means that some of the forces holding down inflation in 2015--particularly those due to a stronger dollar and lower energy prices--will begin to fade next year. Consequently, overall PCE inflation is likely on this account alone to rebound next year to around 1-1/2 percent. And as long as inflation expectations remain well anchored, both core and overall inflation are likely to rise gradually toward 2 percent over the medium term as the labor market improves further and the transitory effects of declines in energy and import prices dissipate.

How do brands grow? TV.
Distilled wisdom from Byron Sharp's How Brands Grow: What Marketers Do not Know:
Sharp begins by noting that the majority of any successful brand's sales comes from "light buyers": people who buy it relatively infrequently.The consequences of this insight are big:
Sharp begins by noting that the majority of any successful brand's sales comes from "light buyers": people who buy it relatively infrequently.The consequences of this insight are big:
- ...you will never increase your brand's market share by targeting existing users ... loyalty programmes, says Sharp, "do practically nothing to drive growth".
- ...a successful brand needs to find a way of reaching people who are not in its target market, ... advertising must somehow gain the attention of people who are not interested in it, have never bought it, or who bought it so long ago they can't remember.
- Advertising, says Sharp, works best when it doesn't try and persuade, but merely makes us remember the brand at the point of purchase
- Brands are not the rich sources of differentiation marketers like to think of them as, but short cuts through the complexity of decision-making. Most consumers aren't aware of, ... the difference between Nescafé and Kenco and don't want to spend longer than they need to thinking about which they prefer. They just want to get coffee and get home.
- Brand engagement is largely pointless...A senior marketer at the drinks company Diageo, where Sharp's book has been influential, put it to me bluntly. "After 10 or 15 years of f***ing around with digital we've realised that people don't want to 'engage' with brands, because they don't care about them.'
Ideally, it would reach millions of people who aren't particularly thinking about your product. You'd want them to see the same thing at around the same time, so that they can talk to each other about what they've seen, reinforcing each other's memories of it. You would need to sneak up on them, since they have near-zero interest in hearing from you, indeed don't want to. You'd need a form of content requiring negligible mental effort to process: one which comes in bite-sized chunks, but which is still capable of moving and delighting. It turns out there is an app for that: the TV ad.

Set the markets free
Wealthy patrons are getting kidneys much more quickly and frequently than poor ones:
HT: Marginal Revolution
Researchers studied the national database of organ donors from 2000 to 2013 and found that patients who simultaneously listed at more than one center had higher transplant rates, lower death rates while waiting, were wealthier and were more likely to be insured.How do they do it?
... wealthier patients ... have the money for travel, temporary housing and other costs of multiple listing that are not covered by health insurance, Givens said. Patients with state-run Medicaid generally have lower income and may not have the option to list themselves at a center in a different state.Time is now for a market.

How are rents determined for Nashville Penthouses?
By an auction:
The starting prices ( see the auction here) underscore the light-speed leaps that rents in the city have taken because of that demand.
Bidding on the one-bedroom penthouse units begins at $5,300 per month (nope, not a typo). Minimum starting bids for the two-bedroom units range from $5,600 a month to $9,000 a month (still not a typo, I double-checked).
The minimum bid for a three-bedroom unit is between $8,000 a month to $10,000 a month (people, I have professional editors. These figures are real. See for yourself!)

Question: what happens when you reduce punishment?
Answer: Crime increases
In this case, we are talking about major league pitchers deliberately throwing at batters, called "Hit By Pitcher" or HBP. In 1994, the HBP rate exploded. Why?
Before 1994, if a pitcher deliberately hit a batter, the batter's team would retaliate.
After 1994, the rules changed to a "warning-then-eject" rule. Once the "warning-then-eject" rule was implemented, teams effectively got a free HBP, with no fear of retaliation. Team A hits team B, then both teams get warned and team B can't retaliate without automatically losing their pitcher and manager! They de-incentivized retaliations to such a degree that they actually incentivized the first HBP.

Rev. Mgt. comes to DC (for parking meters)

This "surge pricing" means you could be paying $8 an hour to park in Chinatown-Penn Quarter at peak times.
You read that right. $8. An hour.
City officials say the idea is to reduce downtown traffic congestion, 25 percent of which, studies show, is caused by vehicles circling the block looking for a parking space. It is simple supply and demand, they say.

Why do grads of liberal arts colleges earn less?
WSJ reports what those who have read chapter 9 knew all along:
Administrators at some liberal arts colleges say the disparity can be explained in part by the fact their students are following passions that may not yield high earnings, not because the graduates lack job options. They also caution that median earnings figures are skewed in favor of colleges that offer degrees in higher-paying fields such as engineering, business and health care.

Google Expands its Platform Strategy
Google is partnering with General Assembly to offer a boot camp for mobile developers using the Android operating system (reported by Bloomburg and NPR).
The Android operating system is core to Google's larger strategy. Helping to train developers to write apps for it will increase the supply of complements to the entire platform. In the longer term, this effort is likely to make the platform that much more valuable.
According to a report General Assembly released in September, the demand for mobile developers of all types has increased more than 150 percent in the past five years.
The No. 1 thing they [Android developers] hear from their developer network is, I need more developers!

What happens when Wal-Mart opens a Supercenter?
Stossel's conclusions are supported by Academic Research: when Wal Mart opens a supercenter (grocery store), they offer "many identical food items at an average price about 15%-25% lower than traditional supermarkets." This raises welfare for consumers by about 20% of their food expenditures. In addition to the direct effects of another option for consumers, there is the indirect benefit of increased competition on rival prices, an additional 5%. And these effects are much bigger for poorer consumers.

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries)
Buy from one of these Booksellers:
3 journalers for this copy...
Pre-numbered label used for registration.
Released 4 yrs ago (1/25/2014 UTC) at Ballston Common Mall - Food Court in Arlington, Virginia USA
Hi! You've picked up a special book. This book is registered at www.bookcrossing.com. Visit my web site and see who has read me and all the interesting places I've been. Leave a message for those who follow and pick up this book after you.
I picked this up at the recent BCinDC meetup in Ballston and didn't get around to journaling it until just now because I am a lazy sack of crap. I've been meaning to give this series a try for a while, so this will be a good opportunity. Thanks!
On the spine of my copy, this book is categorized as "fantasy/mystery." Which is only partially true. I mean, sure, there are a few murders to be solved but mostly it's about what it's like to date a vampire. Sookie is a telepathic waitress with the reputation of being crazy because she has trouble blocking out the continual chatter of other people's thoughts. I appreciated this little detail, actually - usually telepathic characters have to actively read people's thoughts, as opposed to being constantly bombarded by them. Her life is turned upside down when a sexy vampire shows up in her tiny town and acquaintances start turning up dead. It's a quick and mostly entertaining read, and while I am mildly curious about the vampire politics only hinted at in this volume, I feel no desire to continue on with the series. It didn't draw me in enough: I wasn't emotionally invested enough in the characters to care who committed the murders, and I'm honestly not all that interested in Sookie's love life. But I can still see the appeal to fans of "paranormal romance" and "romantic suspense", and it's always nice to expand my pop culture lexicon a little bit.
Released 4 yrs ago (4/20/2014 UTC) at Day of the Book (street festival) on Howard Avenue in Kensington, Maryland USA
Once again, BCinDC will have a table full of free books available at the 2014 Day of the Book festival in Kensington, Maryland. This book will be among them.
I picked up this book from a table of free books in Kensington, Maryland. I enjoyed this book and had no idea that the series True Blood (which I've never seen) was based on these books. I think I know someone who will enjoy reading it, so I'm going to pass it along to her.

Port guide: Vigo, Spain
Introducing Vigo
The town of Vigo was not considered a town until the 15the century, as it was too small prior to that. The partially preserved walls of the city were built in the 17th century after many attacks on the city and then it grew very quickly in the 19th and 20th centuries and Vigo is now a less structured city compared to its neighbouring Spanish cities.
Located between snow capped mountains and the Atlantic ocean, Vigo has a cooler climate than much of Spain and therefore it has lush green countryside as well as beautiful beaches. As the most populated town in the Galicia region it is the economic centre, although not the capital. With its main port for cruise ships, Vigo and the surrounding towns attract tourists with a blend of history, beautiful scenery and beaches and a cosmopolitan city.
- A fine example of medieval architecture and history can be found throughout the city
- A blend of historic and cosmopolitan buildings and architectural details
- A city with a wealth of attractions
- Vigo and surrounding areas offer spectacular beaches and natural sights
- Vigo and neighbouring Pontevedra have been at dispute for years over which city should hold the title of provincial capital
- Exploring Vigo
There is much to be seen and discovered in Vigo's steep streets and cobbled squares as this city has been labelled a Spanish National Monument. The old quarter is impressive with its plazas, buildings and streets that retain their history from the medieval days and the original settlement.
One of the most historic streets is Calle Real, a main street in the old town with traditional Galician houses lining it and at the end you will find Alameda Square with excellent examples of the elaborate architecture.
A visit to the fish market is worth a look for its bustling atmosphere and offers a fresh seafood lunch stop. Just past this market is a street filled with small shops selling their local baskets.
La Guia Hill not only has amazing views of the city and straits but you can also find the Castrelos Palace Museum showcasing artifacts from the middle ages and past.
- Getting around
Although a large city, the old quarter can be explored on foot. Sitting on a hillside, the streets can be steep but there is no better way to fully take in this area.
Taxis will be waiting at the port gates with a green light to signal they are available. There is a Europcar rental located about 5 minutes away by taxi.
A local bus can take you to one of the beaches along Avenida de Galicia, look for bus numbers 1, 2 or 18.
- Beyond the port
One of the most attractive towns on the north coast is La Toja. Although it is quite small it is very popular for locals to holiday there. You can find an unusual church here that from a distance looks charming but as you get closer you will find it is entirely covered from ground to top in shells from the local area. The main beach here overlooks a large submerged clam bed that is harvested by the local elderly women.
The city of Pontevdra has a well-preserved medieval town centre along with many small squares with cafes to sit and take in the local atmosphere. This city is full of charm, rich in culture and has many architectural attractions.
The neighbouring city of Santiago de Compostela is the regions most famous city and has a large medieval district full of monuments and unique buildings. Dating back to he 9th century, the old town shows amazing examples of Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque designs, most all on a very large and impressive scale. The streets are full of bars serving tapas and cafes to watch the locals.
- Popular shore excursions
Cruise lines that visit here offer the following shore excursions. Please check with your cruise line to see if they offer them and remember some excursions may be seasonal only!
Bird watching paradise
The Cies Islands off the coast of Vigo can be reached in about 45 minutes by boat. This collection of three islands offers spectacular scenery with amazing beaches and high mountain terrain. As a nature reserve there is no fishing here so the marine life is abundant and it is home many species of birds.
Pazo de Castrelos
Pazo de Castrelos is a proper example of a 17th century style of manor house owned by the Galician nobility in past centuries. Now converted to a museum with its grounds on a huge wooded park with formal gardens and a rose walk, it is open to the public to enjoy the amazing and well-manicured property and museum featuring archaeology and painting collections.
Bayona La Real
A drive through the beautiful countryside tales you to Bayona La Real, an important fishing town as it was the location where Christopher Columbus' boat first arrived back after his voyage to the Americas. With old walls and ramparts the town is a beautiful historical place.
- Local cuisine
Fresh seafood is a constant throughout the city and surrounding areas including amazing oysters served with local crusty bread and Spanish paella, a rice and seafood dish. In the town, Plaza de Compostela you will find an array of fine restaurants and food bars serving tapas.
- Where you are docked
The cruise ships dock at the Muelle de Transatlanticos, directly in front of this old city. The delightful city of Vigo is Spain's busiest fishing port with a deep harbour and the entire port area has been renovated to make for a beautiful arrival. Where your ship docks, there are a few small shops and a café offering internet access but get into the city as soon as you can to enjoy the sights by crossing the busy Avendida del Castillo promenade directly across from the port.
- Regional weather
Vigo experiences an oceanic climate, yet still retains the warm, generally mild winters experienced by other locations in the area. Being sheltered geographically between mountains this does give Vigo slightly warmer summers and slightly milder winters than other locations in the area.

Coaches Ron Vanderlinden, Charlie Fisher No Longer With Football Team
Linebacker coach Ron Vanderlinden and quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher are no longer with the team, a source confirmed to Onward State. The reasons for the splits are not yet known.
The first report came this afternoon on Twitter from former Penn State student Macy Golder. Rumors swirled all day following that report but the information was finally confirmed by Mark Brennan from Fight on State and later the Centre County Report late Monday night. We were not comfortable passing on the information from our single source until a trusted Penn State source in Brennan confirmed the information.
Vanderlinden has coached at Penn State since 2001, when Joe Paterno hired the former Maryland head coach to manage the school's linebackers. Vanderlinden held the role of linebackers coach during his entire tenure in Happy Valley and was appointed the team's defensive coordinator in 2011 after Tom Bradley was named interim head coach.
Prior to coming to Penn State, Vanderlinden was a graduate assistant at Bowling Green and Michigan, the offensive line coach at Ball State, a defensive assistant at Colorado, the defensive coordinator at Maryland, and from 1997-2000, the head coach at Maryland, where he led the Terrapins to a 15-29 record. Along with defensive line coach Larry Johnson, Vanderlinden was one of two coaches to stay on Penn State's staff after Bill O'Brien became head coach in 2012.
During his tenure, Vanderlinden coached some of the greatest linebackers at Penn State history, including Sean Lee, Paul Posluszny, and Michael Mauti. He was also a fantastic recruiter and helped bring in six of the team's recruits for the upcoming class of 2014, including four star WR Chris Godwin and TE Mike Gesicki.
While Fisher hasn't been around as long as Vanderlinden, he is still a crucial member of the Penn State coaching staff. He came to Happy Valley along with O'Brien and in his two years has coached Matt McGloin and Christian Hackenberg — two of the most prolific years for quarterbacks in Penn State history.
Fisher came to Penn State from Miami of Ohio, where he was the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for one of the country's top passing offenses in 2011. Prior to that, he coached at several smaller schools and was the wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator at Vanderbilt University from 2002-2010. He has was the lead recruiter for one commit in Penn State's 2014 class, four star QB Michael O'Connor.
There is no word on who will replace either coach at this time, but Onward State wishes both of them the best in their future endeavors. We expect more information to come out this week from the athletic department on these moves.

This is my second installment of my tie dye adventures. I was inspired by the anticipated arrival of my grandson to try a onesies project. Please refer to my first post for any basic instruction, such as types of dye, etc.
I bought onesies at Walmart and prewashed them. I dampened them with water before I dyed them. For this one, I did the spiral technique. Place a fork at the center of where you want the spiral and begin to twist it.
Continue twisting...
Once you have twisted it into a circle, add rubber bands and apply dye to the front and back of each section. I used orange, yellow, lime green, and brown.
This is how it turned out.
After I finished each one, I wrapped it in plastic wrap and let it sit for several hours. I understand that there is a microwave technique that will set the heat but I haven't tried that yet.
You can also section it off like this:
I did several solid ones. They still had a mottled, hand-dyed look, which I liked.
I placed the rubber bands on the middle of this one. I don't have the pictures of it, but I dyed the onesie a turquoise color and the sectioned-off part a denim blue.
I made a pair of white knit pull-on pants and dyed them a solid denim blue to match the onesie.
And this is the outfit. The pants looked stonewashed.
I hope this helps to give you some fun ideas for tie dyeing onesies. It is a fun and inexpensive project and it makes a great gift. I will be posting a lot more fabric dyeing ideas soon!

In a Friday Op/Ed designed to praise Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's tax-laden transportation bill, the Washington Post editorial board chose to spend several paragraphs attacking presumptive gubernatorial nominee, Republican Ken Cuccinelli.
It would be easier to credit Mr. Cuccinelli if he hadn't opposed the bill tooth-and-nail when the General Assembly considered it, condemning the legislation as a 'massive tax increase' and pushing for a right-wing alternative. It would be easier still if the attorney general didn't have a long history of opposing serious transportation policy in service to a no-tax creed.
They didn't mention Democrat nominee Terry McAuliffe in the article, but then, they didn't need to. They seem to be running Op/Eds on McAuliffe's behalf with bogus talking points that look like they're lifted right from a McAuliffe for Governor flyer. The problem is, their assertion that Cuccinelli had a "long history of opposing serious transportation policy" is at odds with the facts.
In the past Cuccinelli:
- Has supported paying for a transportation bill with private toll roads
- Was a leading supporter of privately financed toll lanes that would adjust fees based on congestion
- Supported "Hot Lanes" to help solve Northern Virginia's transportation congestion
The fact is that the Washington Post doesn't consider any transportation solution as "serious" unless it includes raising taxes. Since that is the case, it is no wonder they are already doing McAuliffe's dirty work. If the big-spending Democrat is elected governor, he will surely propose plenty of "serious" laws that will raise Virginia taxes in a very "serious" way.

Study: Infection control lapses likely to blame for record-setting SNF hepatitis C outbreak
Editor's Note: This piece has been updated with comments from HCR ManorCare attorneys.
A 2013 hepatitis C outbreak at a North Dakota nursing home that made headlines as one of the largest outbreaks in U.S. history was likely due to "infection control lapses," researchers reported last week.
In a study published online in the American Journal of Infection Control, investigators with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found through epidemiologic and molecular data analysis that the virus was likely spread patient to patient in "facility A" — the ManorCare Health Services-Minot in Minot, ND, where more than 40 residents were infected.
In an analysis researchers compared the Minot facility to a control nursing home, with both groups of residents receiving care at "hospital X." They found the control to have a low prevalence of hepatitis C infections, indicating the transmission to residents did not occur at the hospital.
The analysis would appear to lift some of the blame off of the company behind "hospital X," which was run by Trinity Health, and instead on practices inside the facility. Although the CDC team's research was unable to pinpoint an exact mode of transmission of the virus, evidence indicates that the outbreak may have been the result of lapses in infection control within the skilled nursing facility.
"Facilities should ensure adequate infection control procedures are followed during any and all care provided to patients within the facility," the study's authors wrote. "Improvements in infection control at facility A successfully stopped the outbreak, highlighting the need for further strengthening infection control practices in long-term care facilities."
Trinity Health and victims of the outbreak recently agreed in principle to a settlement in the case.
Attorneys for HCR ManorCare contested the study's findings in letters sent to both the North Dakota Office of Attorney General and the American Journal of Infection Control earlier this month. The letters call the CDC's study "flawed and misleading," and state that it may interfere with ongoing litigation in the outbreak case.
The attorneys also identify "potential weaknesses" of the study, including omitting almost half of the known victims of the outbreak, the fact that several of the victims "lack any connection to ManorCare," and a belief that two of the victims were not exposed to the culpable phlebotomist known as "Employee A" even though data shows otherwise.
"Publishing this paper would fortify the untrue narrative, which Trinity has repeatedly disseminated for self-interested reasons, that the cause of the Minot outbreak remain unknown," the letter reads. "The paper would continue to focus attention on an examination of ManorCare, when the facts have long shown that the roots of the outbreak lie elsewhere."
Publication of the paper that is "arguably consistent with Trinity's reasoning" could also put additional outbreak victims at risk by depriving them of hepatitis C testing, the attorneys note.
"As a result, the outbreak could continue to expand to additional victims, who may not learn about their infections for many years."

When Jeff Toreson moved to Novato's Bahia neighborhood in 2005, there was a boat stuck in the muck of a dried-up lagoon and the residents were stuck in long-running, bitter litigation. Now, the lagoon is transformed into a wetland and the development is flourishing.
"The bitter times of the 1990s and early 2000s are over," said Charles Thompson, president of the Bahia Homeowners Association, as he watched a red-tailed hawk swooping over the tall grass of the former lagoon. "Most of us have accepted that we are no longer a lagoon community. Instead of spending money on lawsuits, we've remodeled our recreation center."
The secluded east Novato development opened in 1972, Thompson said, and has 288 properties, 86 of which front the former lagoon. The waterfront properties had docks stretching into the water for the homeowners' boats.
"You could sail right into San Francisco Bay, under the Golden Gate Bridge and all the way to Mexico if you wanted," said Hope Herndon, who has lived in Bahia since 1987. "When the agent showed us the house, we walked in, my husband saw the lagoon through the living room window and said, 'We'll take it.' Just like that."
After a 1987 dredging, over time the lagoon began to fill with silt. Plans to dredge were met with opposition from public agencies and environmental groups. Residents became embroiled in a lengthy and expensive legal battle. Some wanted the dredging, others did not want to bear the expense.
A developer offered to pay for the dredging as part of a proposed 424-home development planned for Bahia. However, though the City Council approved the developer's project, opposition from critics killed the plan, Thompson said. The developer eventually sold the land to the Audubon Society.
Finally, the dredging issue was resolved in court. A judge released the homeowners' association from a mandate in its governing documents that the water be kept navigable.
As time went on, natural tidal action turned the man-made lagoon into a wetland, said Thompson, who moved to the neighborhood in 1986.
"The water coming into our channel from the Petaluma River is heavily laden with silt. The tide comes in, it stops and silt drops and the tide goes out. Over time, it becomes shallower and shallower and becomes a wetland."
As the lagoon slowly healed, so did the neighborhood.
"People have become satisfied that what once was a waterfront boating-based community is now a nature preserve," Toreson said.
"Look at the colors," Herndon said of the tall grass in the wetland adjoining her house, some of which had a purple tinge. "Isn't it interesting? I'm glad the grass was able to grow. It's really nice."
The Marin Audubon Society has done restoration in the area, Thompson said. The group restored two diked-in areas and opened them up to tidal action.
"We opened up about 200 acres northwest of the Bahia housing development," said Barbara Salzman, president of the board of directors of the society. "We lowered the levee so the water can come and go." The group also restored about 15 or 20 acres at the end of Topaz Drive and an area at the end of Bugeia Lane.
River otters, clapper rail, turkey buzzards, crows and other wildlife frolic, or at least go about their daily business, in the marsh. The development is almost preternaturally quiet, both the homes adjoining the wetland and those higher up on the hill.
"Every day, I leave my house and go 50 feet across the road and down the trail and hike the fire road," Toreson said. "I can sit on my deck and look across the wetlands to the fringe of the bay and down to the Vintage Oaks shopping center. All I can hear is the occasional tap-tap of a woodpecker or the chirping of quail."
The neighbors who flock to the remodeled recreation center are more likely to hear party conversation or water splashing as children dive into the pool, Thompson said.
"We're having a birthday party today," the homeowners association president said as he led the way into the rec room. Six tables were decked out in orange, blue and green tablecloths for the evening's event.
Thompson proudly showed off the kitchen with its gleaming new stainless steel LG range, dishwasher and vertical-door fridge.
"We interviewed caterers to find out how they would like the kitchen configured," he said. Replacing the 40-by-60-foot pool, installing six Canary Island palm trees for shade next to it and remodeling the kitchen cost the association $713,000, according to Thompson, who is also its treasurer. The new rec center opened in May.
The rebirth has not gone unnoticed by individuals and city officials.
"This neighborhood was the undesirable stepchild for a couple decades and now has transformed into a swan," said Patti Cohn, a Marin real estate agent who has sold several homes in the development.
"It's an area that for a long, long time has been stigmatized by the past and the things that happened then," said Novato Councilwoman Denise Athas, a real estate agent who has sold properties in Bahia.
For this reason, Athas said, home prices dropped, and "people got tremendous deals and now are reaping the benefits of the (rec center) renovations.
"It's such a great community and a great place for kids and people to get together and have fun. It has turned into a great neighborhood," Athas said. "It's one of the gems of Novato and the people who live there absolutely love it."

I grew up in Georgia on a farm so I was always around all types of animals
and loved taking care of them. I knew very early that I wanted to do
something with animals when I grew up. Now here I am in beautiful
Navarre, FL. since 1994, I am married no kids (yet) other then my 4 dogs and
1 cat. I am currently working at Navarre Animal Hospital as a Vet
Tech since March 2004 and started pet sitting September 2004 . I have met a lot
of wonderful people and animals between the two and hope to continue
meeting new people every day. Having pets myself that I love very much I
know how hard it can be to plan to go somewhere that you can't take your
pets with you and you have to try to figure out what you are going to do
with them only to worry about them the whole time you are gone.
I know some options include letting them stay at your local
boarding facility or vet office, and the only down side to that is they are in
cages all day long in a strange place with a lot of other dogs barking and
sometimes can be very stressful. My hope is after visiting my website you
can feel a little more comfortable knowing there is someone out there you
can trust to take special care of your loved ones while you are away and
let them stay in their home with surroundings they are used to.

1st. Check the sticks and make sure one isn't defective. IE, take different ones out, see if it only report 10GB.
2nd, Start->Run->type MSCONFIG->Boot->Advanced Options-> Check that maximum memory isnt checked. This seemed to be the solution for everyone else on google.
3rd, make sure you aren't overclocking, CMOS reset etc.

Welcome to Seven Forums Jeremy.
Check the msconfig setting mentioned by Thelen.
If that isn't it then we can try something else.
If you are overclocking tell us what the settings are at, both CPU and RAM.
Post the CPU and Memory tabs from CPUZ .
Check your temperatures with Real Temp, and post the temps at idle.
What amount of RAM is showing in BIOS?
Open Windows Task Manager, click 'Resource Monitor' in the 'Memory' tab, tell us what it says under 'Physical Memory'.
If the above info confirms the 9.99GB usable.
Download Memtest86
Burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder.
Boot from the CD, and run at least 5 passes.
If you get any errors, take out all but one stick, run at least 5 passes with Memtest86.
Your looking for bad RAM sticks and bad slots.
If you get an error, change to a known good stick and run the test in the same slot.
Test all sticks and all slots even if you find a bad one.
Be sure to unplug the power plug, and use a static/grounding wrist strap.
