John Steele's Claims About Alan Cooper Contradicted By History
from the damn-that-historical-record deptEarlier this week, we wrote about John Steele's attempt at the character assassination of Alan Cooper, his former home caretaker who accused Steele of forging his name on various documents concerning shell companies associated with Prenda, the law firm Steele worked for. As part of that filing, Steele tried to suggest that Cooper was a willing participant, and that Steele was merely helping his "friend" get introduced into the porn copyright trolling business. As we noted, Steele's story directly contradicts Cooper's story, which certainly suggests that one of them is not telling the truth in court. That's generally a bad idea. As more people look into Steele's claims, they don't seem to hold up under scrutiny, suggesting that if one of the two has a credibility problem, it's probably Steele.
First, the John Steele affidavit in that case, which the character assassination filing cited repeatedly, has finally been filed. Oddly, the affidavit is signed and notarized three days after the filing by Steven Goodhue which quotes it. Not sure how that time twist works, where you file a document quoting another document three days before it's been written, but, hey anything's possible.
But in those two documents, Steele lays out a clear timeline for his interactions with Alan Cooper and the porn copyright trolling business. In the Goodhue filing, it states clearly:
Steele described the litigation and his business to Cooper. At some point in early 2011, Steele and Cooper discussed how a friend of Steele's was exploring opportunities relating to purchasing and marketing adult content. Cooper expressed interest in learning more about these opportunities and Steele offered to help him learn more.Later in the filing, they say that while Steele and Cooper discussed setting up Cooper with a shell company, nothing happened there. Instead, Steele claims that the first time he actually involved Cooper with his porn copyright trolling efforts was even later in 2011, when he "offered to introduce Cooper to Mark Lutz."
In Steele's declaration, he suggests that he made the intro and then had little knowledge of what happened after that.
My understanding is that Alan took me up on the offer and participated in a limited number of transactions in 2011 with Mr. Lutz's companies. I am not aware of any post-2011 transaction in which Alan participated.Okay, so we have a timeline and a suggestion of limited knowledge. The timeline states that they didn't even discuss these ideas until 2011 and all that John Steele did was introduce Cooper to Lutz and that's it.
So, here's where Steele's story falls apart. As we'd discussed in an earlier case, some GoDaddy records were filed which show John Steele registering domains in Alan Cooper's name in 2010. Ruh roh. Specifically, they show the email address "firstname.lastname@example.com" registering a variety of domain names in Alan Cooper's name. And, in case you're wondering, there's no doubt that's Steele's email address (rather than, say, Cooper pretending to be Steele) because that same email address was used to register Prenda's website. And there's plenty of evidence that it was actually Steele doing this beyond the email address. The physical address used is an address in Arizona which is the home address of John Steele's sister, Jayme, namely 4532 East Villa Theresa Drive, Phoneix, AZ 85032. And the GoDaddy documents show that the address was originally the address of Prenda's office in Chicago. And the GoDaddy support logs show that someone named John called because he was having trouble logging into the account and made them send the info to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Oh, and you might recall that in the case before Judge Wright, opposing lawyer Morgan Pietz had filed a document about yet another Prenda shell company called VPR Internationale:
Further, a residential address in Phoenix apparently co-occupied by Anthony Saltmarsh and Jayme Steele has also been linked to several Prenda straw men and sham entities, including Alan Cooper.... Prenda previously represented VPR Internationale in various copyright infringement suits.... According to the Nevada Secretary of State, all officer positions at VPR Inc. are held by "Alan Cooper," and the address given for Mr. Cooper in each instance is 4532 East Villa Theresa Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85032.... Similarly, an Internet search of that same address revealed what appears to be an archived WHOIS record for an Internet domain name registration ofIndeed, as some have been pointing out on Twitter, Nevada still has a listing for VPR showing "Alan Cooper" in all executive roles, using Jayme Steele's address... and that was set up in 2010.
which lists "Alan Cooper" as the registrant, technical contact, and administrative contact, but using email@example.com as the email address of record, and 4532 East Villa Theresa Drive, Phoneix, AZ 85032 as the mailing address of record. Exhbit T. According to public database searches on Anthony Saltmarsh and Jayme Steele, both of them resided at 4532 East Villa Theresa Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85032.
So, Steele claims he and Cooper talked about this stuff in 2011 and the extent of Steele's help was an intro to Mark Lutz to help out with AF Holdings and Ingenuity 13, but the paper trail shows Steele using Cooper's name to set up a number of other websites and companies in 2010, well before he claimed to have even discussed Cooper working "in the business." Ooops.
Yes, it's looking like Steele has the credibility problem here, rather than Cooper.
Oh, and perhaps someone more familiar with how the 5th amendment works can fill in the details here, but the various points made by Steele in this particular case appear to be the identical issues to which Steele pleaded the 5th in front of Judge Wright in the Central District of California. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to plead the 5th in one place, and then respond to the same questions elsewhere. I would imagine that might come back to bite Steele as well. In the meantime, however, we get to watch him keep digging as he really does seem to think he can talk his way out of things, despite the piles upon piles of evidence that appears to contradict what he's saying.

A 12-year-old Nebraska boy appeared on the Today show to talk about the vivid details of his visit to heaven amid treatment for a life-threatening medical condition several years before.
Colton Burpo's story—complete with sitting on Jesus' lap, hearing angles sing, talking to late family members and more—is the subject of the book "Heaven is for Real," which has spent almost a year on the New York Times best sellers list.
It was written by his father, the Rev. Todd Burpo, pastor of an evangelical church in the Wesleyan tradition, based on the account Colton told after being treated for a ruptured appendix at age 4.
Despite the skeptics or the cynics who say the Burpos are trying to market their son's visions for money, Colton's parents believe his tales from heaven to be true and believe that God gave him that experience to bless the lives of others.
"We questioned our son at first," Todd Burpo said on the Today show Tuesday. "But as parents, everyone can tell when their 4-year-old is telling the truth. They're telling you things that they can't really make up. We also see all the people that are finding peace and hope and comfort from Colton's story, so for those people it might be a gift."
Colton recognized his great-grandfather and miscarried baby sister, both of whom he didn't know about, among the angels in heaven, his parents said.
In previous interviews, the boy described God as a "very big man" and Jesus as having "a rough but kind face, sea-blue eyes and a smile that lit up the heavens."
An excerpt from the book follows the exchange between Colton and his parents on the way home from the hospital, when they first realized what their son had experienced as he drifted out of consciousness:
"Colton, you said that angels sang to you while you were at the hospital?"
He nodded his head vigorously.
"What did they sing to you?"
Colton turned his eyes up and to the right, the attitude of remembering. "Well, they sang 'Jesus Loves Me' and 'Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho,'" he said earnestly. "I asked them to sing 'We Will, We Will Rock You,' but they wouldn't sing that."
As Cassie giggled softly, I noticed that Colton's answer had been quick and matter-of-fact, without a hint of hesitation.
Sonja and I exchanged glances again. What's going on? Did he have a dream in the hospital?
And one more unspoken question: What do we say now?
A natural question popped into my head: "Colton, what did the angels look like?"
He chuckled at what seemed to be a memory. "Well, one of them looked like Grandpa Dennis, but it wasn't him, 'cause Grandpa Dennis has glasses."
Then he grew serious. "Dad, Jesus had the angels sing to me because I was so scared. They made me feel better."
Jesus? I glanced at Sonja again and saw that her mouth had dropped open. I turned back to Colton. "You mean Jesus was there?"
My little boy nodded as though reporting nothing more remarkable than seeing a ladybug in the front yard. "Yeah, Jesus was there."
"Well, where was Jesus?"
Colton looked me right in the eye. "I was sitting in Jesus' lap."

Build team trust… fast.
How to encourage people to do what they say they're going to do.
Trust is weaved into almost every aspect of our lives. I trusted that my car would get me to the airport this morning, that the pilots and crew would get me to Washington D.C., and that my cab driver would find my hotel. This all comes so naturally. So why does the role of trust in collaboration inside organizations remain such a mystery?
For more than 150 years, organizations have been organized in silos that breed internal competition for resources. The psychology of competing with your teammates for resources, in turn, encouraged an insidious way of working: passive-aggressive behaviors where humans work side-by-side but work subtly against each other even though they are employed by the same firm.
Trust anchors every successful collaborative team.
We researched at Cisco the most important factors in creating trust on collaboration teams, and the single most important factor is revealing: do people do what they say they are going to do?
As leaders, it is up to us to be overtly aggressive at vanquishing passive-aggressive behaviors and building real, human trust. We have no choice in our hyper-connected world where change is constant and work is increasingly global, mobile and virtual. As distance and time condense, it stresses out the calmest of us as we scramble to meet deadlines while working with people that likely we've never met.
So what's the key to building team trust?
"Replace uncertainty with clarity. Articulate the team's purpose and
establish up front what you expect from each member."
"The Collaboration Imperative"
How to build a team charter
A team charter helps clarify a team's purpose, role, shared goals and scope; a charter eliminates ambiguity of expectations. As leaders, we can make a team charter the focal point around which the team builds healthy collaboration habits.
It's possible to move beyond your gut feel and hope trust develops on your team; it is possible to operationalize it. Trust is too important to, well, just trust that it'll happen. To that end, we've found that a team charter is most effective when it is composed of five elements:
- 1. Team purpose: describes specific challenges, opportunities or tasks the team will address (and also expectations).
- 2. Team role: teams form for different reasons. Know why your team exists – is it to align a group around an initiative? Is it to execute a priority together? What are the different roles of individuals on the team? Read more about various team roles in Chapter 5 of "The Collaboration Imperative."
- 3. Shared goals: most collaborative teams have people from different backgrounds, functions and even companies. Make sure despite your differences, you're all chasing the same goals. These goals allow you to create a specific definition of what success looks like and allow you to map your goals to performance management.
- 4. Scope: establish well-defined boundaries of what you hope to do. These "guardrails" allow you to say no to 'scope creep'! This helps members determine their time commitment and helps the team as a whole stay on track.
- 5. Establish ground rules. Put ground rules in place for team procedures and processes (including meeting logistics), how you use your time together, who makes final decisions, how to resolve conflict, and how respect and courtesy are paramount.
A team charter is a powerful means to enable trust-building on your collaboration teams. Keep in mind that a team charter should be paired with a common vocabulary. Sweat the details of your team's vocabulary. Ask if everyone on the team has the same definitions in their heads for the vocabulary you are using to articulate the charter. Don't let the definition of a word be the reason trust is derailed!
The management science is pretty clear here: teams that trust each other outperform teams that don't. Are you outperforming?

You can accept as absorbing a resume as accessible back you're putting yourself out there for jobs, but it's your awning letter that gets your basal in the door.
The awning letter functions as an introduction, not too continued but still informative, array of an elevator angle for the job. It should acquaint a adventure and appearance personality but still lay out your abilities as a worker. Look, awning belletrist are hard. You didn't appear actuality because you don't apperceive what they are, you're actuality because awning belletrist are overwhelming, and creating a new one for every appliance is frustrating.
A templates can advice you understand how to compose a awning letter, but about there are accomplish to take for any awning letter, behindhand of the job. Here's what you charge to know.
Before we breach bottomward the accomplish to a acceptable awning letter, here's a arrangement to get yourself acclimatized with one that incorporates those steps:
Dear [Name],
I am agilely autograph to you to administer for the accessible [Job Title] position at [Company]. I've continued admired the company's [positive attribute] that has fabricated it a baton in its industry, and I anticipate my accepted role as [Current Job Title] at [Current Company] makes me a decidedly able applicant for this position.
As [Current Job Title], I accept spent my time [summation of responsibilities]. However, my adventure starts afterwards admission [College] with a amount in [Major] and accepting my aboriginal position at [Previous Company]. There, I abstruse [relevant skills] as a [Job Title] afore affective up to [Job Title] at [Previous Company], eventually landing at the job I accept today.
These positions accomplished me [list of accordant skills], all of which accept put me in a position to accomplish at [Company.] Back my old aggregation at [Previous Company] was tasked with [task], we formed day and night to accomplish our ambition and managed to [accomplishment]. Managing a aggregation at [Current Company], I've been able to access [accomplishment]. These projects additionally served as acquirements experience, advancing me for [job responsibilities].
The abilities I accept abstruse and the team-building adventures I've had accept able me immediate for the challenges of this job. I'd adulation to busy on my adventures with you in actuality and appearance what I can accompany to this company. Thank you for your time, and I attending advanced to audition from you.
Generally, your acquaintance advice will go at the top if you're sending a concrete awning letter and at the basal if you're accomplishing it online or via email.
So what accomplish do we booty to get from a arrangement like this to an absorbing awning letter that gives you a bigger adventitious of landing that interview? These are the six accomplish we recommend.
Just like every awning letter should be a little different, every aggregation is a little different. Well, they absolutely bazaar themselves as altered anyway.
Take a quick but absolute glance into the aggregation and the ethics they espouse. It can accord you absolutely a bit of administration with attention to the accent you'll be demography with your awning letter. Some airless companies, back you appointment their website, present as apparent as can be. Added companies try to advertise personality and present themselves as added off-kilter. A apparent awning letter apparently won't do in this case, and they'll be abiding to indicate that in the job description.
Some places acutely amount teamwork, while others accent independence. Little things like these that can be begin in a job description or an 'About' folio on the aggregation website can go a continued way back you charge to apperceive how to advertise yourself.
Once you accept a bigger compassionate of the accent you should booty with your awning letter, it's time to alpha autograph it.
The aperture of your awning letter is arguably the toughest part. If you alpha it in an unmemorable, cliche way, those aboriginal few curve may be the alone affair the animal assets person will apprehend afore affective on.
Even the greeting you alpha with can accomplish a difference. If the hiring manager's name is attached, Dear [Name] will suffice. But if there is no name, it's trickier. You'll charge to acquisition a greeting that's able after actuality too airless or formal.
The anterior branch needs to get appropriate to the point. What is the position you're applying for? How did you acquisition out about the opening? What can anon back to the actuality account this that you are conspicuously able for this position? This is area your analysis can absolutely appear in handy. Perhaps there's article in the company's history or the job description that you can add as able-bodied to accomplish it bright aloof how committed you are.
Are you sending an actual, concrete awning letter? If so, you'll appetite your acquaintance advice at the top of the letter too, finer as a professional-looking header.
With a able introduction, you've at atomic absorbed them into account the draft of the awning letter. Now you charge to advertise yourself as addition who isn't aloof dedicated, but abnormally able to handle this position.
If you currently assignment a full-time job, your responsibilities and successes actuality are what should be accent most. From there, your added jobs and their responsibilities should be fatigued as well. Addition with absolute acquaintance but who has additionally beat abounding hats in their career is abiding to impress.
That tip is, of course, added for bodies with all-encompassing job experience. What if you don't accept that? What if you're attractive for an internship? Or your acquaintance is mostly relegated to internships and part-time jobs in college? There is still affluence to be mined from that, alike if it isn't the best anon accompanying job experience. You can still authorize yourself as a adamantine worker, and a awning letter that shows how adamantine you've aching to get to area you are is added acceptable to affect than a awning letter area you avoid your job history with arrant lies.
A awning letter isn't aloof a laundry account of things you accept done; it should be advised as a narrative. You're cogent the adventure of what got you to this point and how it makes you the actuality for the job. You'd be afraid at how a acceptable adventure can accumulate you afloat adjoin bodies with agnate or bigger job experience.
Whether your job history is anon or tangentially accompanying to this new position, what you charge to prove aloft all is that it has put you in a position to accord to this job.
Comb through that job description, it's acceptable to accept affluence of indications of what the aggregation wants from you. What accept you done in your career that relates to the abilities and expectations of this new job? Be specific. If there's an apprehension to administer an absolute department, allocution about acquaintance you've had managing and the success your aggregation had. If you can, quantify your success with numbers. An outside-the-box adventure of a activity your aggregation took on not alone shows your abilities but can be an agreeable read.
It's still a aerial balance. You appetite to prove how acceptable you could be at this job while advancement an agreeable tone, but you additionally accept to accumulate brevity in mind. Hiring managers aren't activity to apprehend a sprawling atypical of a awning letter. Accomplish every chat calculation and accumulate things concise. Having a awning letter that is to-the-point, results-oriented and ambrosial in accent can itself appearance that you are addition who actual abominably wants this job and can do it well.
By this point, you've accent why you're able and what you've done to accreditation consideration. Now that you've awash them on qualifications, end by affairs them on moxie.
Reiterate your arch affairs points. Accent how abundant you appetite this position, and let them apperceive you would adulation the adventitious to account with them and appearance them in-person that you're the appropriate aces for the job.
Thank them for reading, assurance your name and accommodate abrupt acquaintance info, and you've accomplished a awning letter draft.
Now reread it a few times, if possible. Imagine putting in all that assignment to accent all the appropriate things that could get you an interview, only for a typo in the aperture branch to draft it.
Petty as that may seem, it can happen. Bodies amount able grammar and spelling, and it's in your best interests to adapt thoroughly. Once you've got aggregate able and accessible to go, accelerate it out with your resume. Now, all that's larboard to do is wait.

This week, we detected unusual access patterns that led to us identifying unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. We discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later. However, our investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information – usernames, email addresses, session tokens and encrypted/salted versions of passwords – for approximately 250,000 users.
As a precautionary security measure, we have reset passwords and revoked session tokens for these accounts. If your account was one of them, you will have recently received (or will shortly) an email from us at the address associated with your Twitter account notifying you that you will need to create a new password. Your old password will not work when you try to log in to Twitter.
Though only a very small percentage of our users were potentially affected by this attack, we encourage all users to take this opportunity to ensure that they are following good password hygiene, on Twitter and elsewhere on the Internet. Make sure you use a strong password – at least 10 (but more is better) characters and a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols – that you are not using for any other accounts or sites. Using the same password for multiple online accounts significantly increases your odds of being compromised. If you are not using good password hygiene, take a moment now to change your Twitter passwords. For more information about making your Twitter and other Internet accounts more secure, read our Help Center documentation or the FTC's guide on passwords.
We also echo the advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and security experts to encourage users to disable Java
This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked. For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users.

Brain cells work together and depend on each other to enable us to make sense of the world around us, produce thoughts, act purposefully, and create and keep memories. But as we get older, the nerve cells in our brains begin to degrade.
Thankfully, memory loss and a decrease in mental acuity are not an inevitable fact of life. While we know that the production of new brain cells declines in older age, the birth of new brain cells does not stop as we age; recent research suggests computerized exercises that challenge the brain can improve memory and attention in people over age 65. Even for those of us who haven't yet reached our golden years, there are steps we can take – at any age – to help keep our minds sharp and memory intact now and as we grow older. So, what measures can we all take to help keep our brains healthy as we age?
Tools to Improve Thinking and Memory Skills
Your brain needs challenges and variety to maintain those nerve connections and keep them functioning well. There are plenty of readily available "tools" that may produce a positive effect on mental performance. These games are meant to stimulate the brain in other ways than your typical daily routine allows. They include:
Online brain games (a quick Internet search will produce lots of different types of games and titles, many are free)
- Card games such as bridge and solitaire
- Board games
- Puzzles (Sudoku is my personal favorite)
- Trivia and puzzle videogames
An increasing number of games and puzzles are available on mobile phones, so that you can exercise your mind whenever, wherever.
It's important to note that whether these games and techniques may actually help delay onset of dementia is the subject of debate and research. People who are busy "doing things," such as knitting, learning another language or reading, appear to have reduced memory impairment in later years, but hard scientific evidence has not confirmed it at this point.
Regardless, integrating a brain-challenging activity into your lifestyle – particularly something that requires you to engage and play with others – certainly doesn't hurt, and can also strengthen your interpersonal relationships.
Not Just Fun and Games
Before you go out and buy the first "brain game" you find, remember: There is a lot more to keeping the brain sharp than just playing games and solving puzzles. They should be considered a supplement – not a substitute – for other critical brain-supporting activities.
Regular physical exercise is a crucial component to maintaining brain function. Exercise increases the density and size of brain capillaries, which in turn increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Exercise also elevates levels of brain chemicals that encourage the growth of nerve cells.
Eating a balanced diet is also very important – not just for your brain, but for your overall health and well-being.
There is little question that the brain responds in a positive way to physical and mental challenges. The key is to find activities that you truly enjoy, so that you can stimulate and stretch your mind and memory for years to come.
Mind your health,
- Dr. Black

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Led by righty pitcher David Pissauro the Green Terror of McDaniel College (6-3) handed baseball (3-1) their first loss of the season, as he kept the Beacons off the scoreboard on their way to a 12-0 win Wednesday afternoon at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex.
PIssauro went eight complete innings and allowed just five hits while striking out six batters on his way to his first win of the season. For the Green Terror they combined for 12 hits in the win, and were led by James Chiorello who went 2-for-4 with six RBI. Both of his hits were back-to-back home runs late in the contest.
Having a solid day for UMass Boston was Mark McCormack (Shelton, Conn.) as he tied the single-game record for triples with two. McCormack recorded back-to-back triples in his first two at-bats. He nearly had his third of the game, but was robbed by a diving left fielder.
Senior Mike Mattei (Spencer, Mass.) also put-up an extra-base hit as he notched his second double of the week in the bottom half of the fifth inning.
On the hill Gabe May (Portsmouth, N.H.) was handed his first loss of the season after going four complete innings. During that time, the righty allowed just three runs, one of which was earned, on one hit while also striking out four batters.
Baseball will have a busy day tomorrow as they will face Ripon College (Wis.) at 9 a.m. at Lake Bonny Field in Lakeland. They will then face Washington College (Md.) at 3:30 p.m. at the Chain of Lakes Park.

Locking in prices for some of next year's crop could make sense—but don't get carried away
With December 2013 corn futures in the $6.30 range this week, some analysts say locking in contracts for a portion of next year's expected harvest could make a great deal of sense. The key reason why: With relatively normal weather and an expectation of even more corn acres planted here and abroad in 2013, prices for next fall could move decidedly lower. After all, expected corn prices for the December 2012 contract was $4-something as recent as early summer, prior to the drought taking holding of the Heartland.
"I would market a little bit of the 2013 crop, perhaps 10% with cash prices of $6 corn or $6.50 futures," says Jim Hilker, ag economist at Michigan State University. He says he wouldn't get carried away with marketing 2013 just yet, however.
Closer to home, Hilker advises a strategy of selling the 2012 crop throughout the marketing year, with a high level of volatility likely. Producers have less of this year's expected crop than normal, says one grain company official. Hilker does not see corn prices falling out bed, however. The economist believes the $8.20 average price in USDA's Aug. 10 crop report is pretty close to the mark. Even though short crops typically have long tails, he does not look for prices fall more than $1/bu. from current levels or to no lower than $7/bu., with the potential high of $9. Because of that, farmers don't need to get overly aggressive just yet, Hilker says.
Frayne Olson, ag economist at North Dakota State University, looks for corn prices most likely to move sideways in a choppy fashion for a while, then somewhat lower, as some of the premium now paid in the marketplace for yield uncertainty evaporates. "The range for the 2012 marketing year for cash corn will likely be $6.80 to $7.80," Olson, says. What makes Olson more conservative than USDA? "I am really concerned about the U.S. and world economy. The whole world has slowed. It wouldn't take much to put us in a dull mood."
In Hilker's view, corn yields could move up or down 5 bu. per acre in succeeding USDA reports, but the odds more likely favor further yield decreases than increases. He cautions, however, that on corn, "we could be hitting the high right now." Because of that, Hilker says selling 15% to 20% of the crop relatively soon might make some sense, assuming you haven't done any previous marketing.
Soybeans could be the real sleeper. "Until we know more about the South American crop, I don't see soybean prices crashing," Hilker states. Moreover, Chinese demand thus far "is hanging tough." In Olson's view, however, China "will buy more hand to mouth."
He continues, "We are still in the early stages of figuring out soybeans yields, while at the tail end of that for corn." Olson thinks current soybean yield forecasts might be over estimating yields. "We don't know how many seeds per pod there will be, he says. In part because of that, he estimates a $16 to $17 soybean price range for the 2012/13 marketing year, up $1/bu. on the low end from USDA's August 10 forecast. "Right now, I'd sit tight," Olson says. "The downside risk in soybeans is very low. Soybeans won't fall out of bed. We don't yet have price levels high enough to curb demand."

I am not ashamed of the fact that I had breast cancer. On the contrary, I am actually quite proud of the way I have handled adversity in my life. However, if there is a conversation killer, this is it. Add to that the pressure of dating to begin with, and you see that the first date questions become extremely awkward. When is the omission a lie?
I wrestle with this question all the time as I never told anyone that was not a very close friend about my cancer the first time, how could I tell a total stranger this time? It's always the same conundrum. Do I wait until someone likes me to tell them? Or do I tell someone up front before we meet or at our first meeting and possibly prevent them from ever getting to know or like me? Of course, the good answer is somewhere in the middle, but I feel a bit guilty, like I am deceiving them if I don't let them know ahead of time.
Another friend said she thought it was a good "meter" (well, she used a more colorful term) to weed out potential undeserving candidates. I always want to tell someone my statistics too… like there is a 97% chance the cancer won't come back (that was the first time BEFORE it actually came back and I happened to be in that dreaded 3%). Or the good news that now that I have had my breasts removed, there is only a small chance it could recur in my chest wall or metastasize… See how positive that is? I even thought about making up funny stories that would go something like this: I got bit by a great white shark in Laguna Beach, and it took a huge bite out of my tummy, and only ate my nipples but left the rest of my breast!
In the old days, if someone "Googled" me, they found my business Web site. (If only that would happen more often so I could get some extra business to pay for the giant hospital bills discussed in my previous blogs). Nowadays, they get the whole story – how the first time, I decided to save my breasts by having a lumpectomy and how this time I had the "Humpty Dumpty" surgery. If the guy is at all curious, he knows all these things BEFORE we even meet!
This doesn't even begin to address the fact that I am raising a child, self-employed and responsible for a mortgage and the happiness of my family alone. When would I even squeeze in a date? And I certainly wouldn't want my daughter to be meeting a stream of men who aren't going to be around for the long haul. Basically, this puts dating on the back burner or at the bottom of my to-do list near laundry or emptying the dishwasher.
Either way, isn't dating hard enough without having to address all the big "C" issues? Life was so much simpler BC (before cancer).

LA FORÊT DE NORMAND | Gregory Côté
Inspired by his father who planted trees on his property in Granby, Gregory Côté develop this set used to start planting trees from seed germination. Today, this man of Granby Who Planted Trees has managed to give life to a small urban forest. This proposed packaging made out of molded pulp is a great achievement in my class packaging. Thank you to the team of technicians of the Faculty of Arts for their support.

Bonjour Philippine | Julie Pirovani
Inspirée par cette expression bien familière, Julie Pirovani a développé ce concept d,emballage pour elks amandes dans workshop donné à Aix-en-Provence au début mars 2015.
If you are a Quebecer, it is possible that this habit is completely foreign to you. However, in France, "Bonjour Philippine!" Is a term well-known to children eating twin almonds, or other twin fruit, or of those who, unintentionally, say the same sentence simultaneously. The next morning, a small gift goes to the one who thinks of saying it first.
Inspired by this well-familiar play, Julie Pirovani developed this packaging concept for almonds in the workshop I gave to ECV students in Aix-en-Provence in early March 2015.

Les merveilles de Johanne | Yann Carrière
The wonders of Johanne are an act of faith in all that is miraculous. Inspired by a caring and enthusiastic stepmother, the effect of these products on health is not guaranteed, but considering the placebo effect related to faith, we may believe that it will not hurt you. This is a nice project developed by Yann Career in my packaging design course at UQAM.

Présentations suggérées | Louis Gagnon | UQAM
Ici à Packaging UQAM, on pense que les emballages pourraient être tellement plus sympathiques et on vous propose une réflexion sur ce que ça pourrait avoir l'air. En une semaine, les étudiants avaient à revoir le design d'une boite de conserve. La contrainte : présenter le produit autrement et surtout en prenant pour acquis l'intelligence de l'usager.Voici les propositions faites par les étudiants du cours de mon collègue Louis Gagnon.
Tired of standardized packages an one track minded uniform design inspired by god knows whom criterias? Tired of our grocery store shelves where creativity has deserted to make room for boredom, uniformity and unique thought.
At Packaging UQAM, we believe that the packaging could be so much more friendly and we offer a reflection on what it might look like. In one week, the students had to review the design of a can. The constraint: present the product differently by assuming the intelligence of the user. Here are the projects designed in Louis Gagnon's class at UQAM

Rendez-Vous Culottés | Sabine Veyre
It is said that men appreciate women's lingerie. In my workshop at the ECV in Aix-en-Provence, Sabine Veyre worked on a series of three Rendez-vous panties in "Kleenex" packaging. The different styles of underwear (some very sexy and others a lot less), are designed for the evolution of a love relationship. The big panties are proposed for the first rendez-vous (Never on the first night) for it acts as a deterrent to curb the impulses and propose another RDV instead...or maybe not after all.

Creator: Ligon, Ethan, Thomas, Jonathan P., and Worrall, Tim Series: Endogenous incompleteness Abstract:
This paper studies efficient insurance arrangements in village economies when there is complete information but limited commitment. Commitment is limited because only limited penalties can be imposed on households which renege on their promises. Any efficient insurance arrangement must therefore take into account the fact that households will renege if the benefits from doing so outweigh the costs. We study a general model which admits aggregate and idiosyncratic risk as well as serial correlation of incomes. It is shown that in the case of two households and no storage the efficient insurance arrangement is characterized by a simple updating rule. An example illustrates the similarity of the efficient arrangement to a simple debt contract with occasional debt forgiveness. The model is then extended to multiple households and a simple storage technology. We use data from the ICRISAT survey of three villages in southern India to test the theory against three alternative models: autarky, full insurance, and a static model of limited commitment due to Coate and Ravallion (1993). Overall, the model we develop does a significantly better job of explaining the data than does any of these alternatives.

Rocky Mountain Mattress Announces August 2013 Winner of The Mark A. Forester Foundation Essay Contest & Scholarship for Honoring Military HeroesMonday, August 5th, 2013
Rocky Mountain Mattress recently held an essay contest in the name of The Mark A. Forester Foundation, prompting participants to reflect upon how they go about honoring military heroes. After carefully reviewing each submission, the charitable mattress company is proud to announce Alixandria Wright as the official scholarship winner and the grand recipient of $1,000 toward her college tuition at Ferris State University.
While there were many stunning essays written about honoring American soldiers, the judges found Wright's piece to be particularly moving. Her essay chronicled the loss of her nineteen-year-old cousin, PFC Jason Wright, a soldier who was killed in action in December of 2003, during his tour in Iraq.
"Jason was supposed to come home for Christmas that December," she recalls. "But gave up his leave to someone who had a wife and kid waiting on him, the sacrifice that eventually took his life."
This wasn't just an essay about the past, however. Because the contest was more about how participants currently honor military heroes, the judges were more specifically drawn to Wright's everyday practices of honor.
"The definition of honor is to regard someone with great respect," says Wright about her methods of homage. "So, I started to honor these people by the small act of thanking them. Since my cousin died, I have created a habit of thanking every service man or woman I see in uniform. I know it is not a lot in comparison for what they do for us, but it's something I am able to do for them."
It was this simple yet poignant sentiment that led Rocky Mountain Mattress to selecting Alixandria Wright as the essay winner and, as a result, the company is honored to reward her with $1,000 in tuition toward her schooling, on behalf of The Mark A. Forester Foundation and military heroes everywhere.

'George! There's another dead mouse!"
Again? I hear that too often. When I do, I am not thrilled, but I have no choice but to drop everything and go do my duty. In my household, I am the designated corpse disposer. If there is a dead mouse, a dead pet, a dead turtle that wandered in the yard or some other dead thing, I am dispatched to remove it and find proper burial.
For some reason, probably because I was too foolish to refuse, I was appointed to deal with anything nasty in the house � and not just corpses.
If something falls in the toilet, I am Johnny on the spot (or at least Johnny with his hand in the John). If there is a swarm of bees in the den, something that has occurred a couple of times, I am the heavy artillery brought in to clear the room.
I admit I am very good at killing bees, even though I love bees. I am not afraid of them, and this stupid lack of fear leads me to walk right up to a highly agitated bee or wasp and put it out of its misery with a rolled-up copy of The Economist.
Bees, wasps and other uncooperative critters have become a major part of my home life the past few years. The house was built before the Civil War, and insects are attracted to it. We provide shelter to bees, ants, spiders, large spiders, really large spiders and, of course, mice. A few chimney swifts have found their way down our chimney as well.
The bees are an ongoing problem because they are not content, as spiders are, to mind their own business. They are always looking for ways to sting me and terrorize everyone in the family. I am about the only one who is not afraid of them, so when one is found, the call goes out, "Bee! Bee! George! Come quick!"
I've killed many, although I have a certain ethic about killing them. If the bees get in the house, their execution is swift and brutal. (Sorry, but bees know better than to come into my house.) If there is a nest next to a door, under a piece of outdoor furniture or in some other place in the yard posing a threat to visitors, it is removed. I used to dig up ground nests on my lawn until I discovered skunks were much better at removing the problem.
If I find they stay away from people, and just buzz around looking for nectar, I leave them alone.
Lately, my free time has been dedicated to mouse disposal. A year or two ago we began investing in mouse traps after I found a nest in one of my work sneakers I left in the cellar. We bought all sorts of mean and nasty-looking traps, some of which I could set without cutting my fingers off. Then we baited them, using a trick I learned from Peter and Rita Carruth of Gardner when we shared a house in Granby years ago.
The house in Granby was full of mice. After testing various lures, the Carruths discovered peanut butter. It was irresistible to mice. It got rid of most of the mice in a jiffy, nabbing the mice so fast they barely had time to set the trap before one was caught.
At my house I decided to follow their advice, but being tight with money, I bought the cheapest brand of creamy peanut butter I could find. It did not matter. Before long, I was making daily trips to the cellar and garage collecting the dead and making jokes about catching meat for the stew.
I am happy to rid the house of the mice, but I am not thrilled with the job of disposing of the corpses. I am bothered by the concept of catching hantavirus or the black plague or just getting my hands dirty from dead things. When ordered to remove the dead, I put on rubber gloves and, gagging and retching, pick up the trap. Being careful to avoid touching the deceased, I carry the trap and mouse out to the field for proper disposal.
Then I bring the trap back and clean it thoroughly, never removing the gloves until I have reset it, peanut buttered it, and placed it in a good location to catch another victim.

This morning I wanted to try to lower the points value of my breakfast. We get jars of canned peaches from hubby's parents, so I like to mix those into my oatmeal sometimes, but with the new plan, they are 3 pts. for 1/2 a cup. So today, I had 1 cup of oatmeal (which shocks me at 4 points for a cup now) with 2 plums mixed in along with 1 cup of 1% milk for 7 points. I had never had oatmeal with plums, but it was pretty good!
I spent the morning finishing up homework and then it was time to head to school. On my way to class, I ate an apple for 0 points.
School went alright. I am so ready for this semester to be over. I somehow managed to lose one of my gloves while I was there, not a good day to do that! My hands were ice cold. It was 25*, windy and flurrying.
When class was FINALLY over, I headed over to Subway for lunch. I had a 6" turkey sub with baked BBQ Lay's and a diet Coke for 11 points. The Turkey and Ham and the Turkey subs used to be the same points value. Now the Turkey and Ham is 8 points and the Turkey is 7. Interesting, but I went with the Turkey because of it!
After that, I went grocery shopping. Here's what I got:
Lots of fruit to munch on. I really wanted to pick up some grapes, but they didn't have any that looked good. But this should get me through the week! When I got home, I calculated the points values for the foods that I got. One interesting thing I found was that Sandwich thins are 3 points and so is a slice of the good, whole grain bread. Not the light stuff, the good thick kind. Very interesting! I think that will impact my choices a bit. I used to toast a sandwich thin because they were so low in points. But now I will definitely have a slice of the good bread- I miss that stuff! But if I were to eat a sandwich, I'd stick w/ the 3 point sandwich thin vs. 2 slices of regular bread for 6 points.
One of my finds at Aldi's this week was Peppermint Mocha creamer. I had never had peppermint in my coffee before and let tell you- it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I loved it. 2 Tbs of this in my coffee for 2 points.
I was feeling a bit hungry a little later, so I had a banana for 0 points. That just makes me grin. Bananas. I love 'em- and they're free! *giggle* Ok… I'll stop, but it makes me giddy.
I worked on homework and read blogs. I am so glad there is only one more reading assignment for one of my classes, which is what I worked on tonight. I just cannot get interested in the material in this class, so the only thing that keeps me reading is to set a goal to read a few pages, and then I get to read a couple of blogs. Hey, it works for me! lol
For supper, I had baked salmon, acorn squash (yes the whole one!), and a slice of 12 grain toast with a wedge of light sun-dried tomato basil laughing cow cheese on top for 7 points total. This was a delicious supper and I don't remember the last time I ate "regular" bread. It was so much more dense and delicious!
For dessert, I have a 1/2 cup of FF/SF chocolate pudding with a little light whipped cream on top for 2 points.
My goal was to finish Thursday's homework assignments and I accomplished that. I finished up the very last bit of reading while getting in a quick bike workout. 30 minutes, I biked 8 miles and I burned 134 calories and I'm not sure how many AP's on this new plan. Too confused about that- anyone have any answers on this yet?
And now I'm snacking on some dried fruit and raw almonds that I picked up at the store today for a total of 5 points.
I have 1 point left over for the day- not sure if I'll use it or not, it's almost bed time! Tomorrow is WI day and I think it's going to go well. I would love to lose after a Holiday week!!
Tomorrow rings in the first day of December, can you believe it!?

the SEA TRUCKER HAT
The classic trucker hat decorated in true SHREDLY fashion
- Sublimated fabric hand-sewn onto the front panel (fabric has been re-purposed from leftover fabric scraps or unused samples)
- Mesh back for breathability
- Adjustable back snap for a custom fit
- Logo embroidery detail at back right side
- One size fits most
Put a lid on it, but make sure the lid is cute! We love this particular project for a few reasons: First, all of the fabric used was leftover from production (scraps) or were prints (samples) that never made the cut to become shorts or leggings. Second, the fabric is hand-sewn onto the front panel of the hats by lovely ladies (mostly ONE lady!) at a factory right here in Colorado. This factory is dedicated to creating dignified jobs and reinvigorating American manufacturing. As one of the first Public Benefit Corporations in Colorado, they are focused on making a social impact by partnering with a job preparation program that teaches production sewing to women who are transitioning from federal assistance. Third, who doesn't love hats? Protect the face, skip a shower, glam up your camping game, hide your celeb status, the list goes on! Each hat/fabric/thread color combo is unique with only a few like it made, in some cases just one of each is produced! Make sure to click on the images below to see more hat and thread color options. Now your head can adventure in unique style, just like the rest of you.

Philip Surrey
Canadian, 1910–1990
Summer Dresses, 1953
oil on masonite
40.6 x 30.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. Peter Dobush
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Born in Alberta, Philip Surrey received formal art training in Winnipeg, Vancouver, and New York City, before settling in Montreal. Surrey was drawn to Montreal for its unique urban flavour, and he gravitated toward the community of artists who gathered around John Lyman and the Contemporary Arts Society. The city served as fuel and resource material for the observations of people and cityscapes that intrigued him. This fascination is conveyed in the artist's study of aspects of urban life, particularly the isolation of the individual within a crowd. The strong narrative quality in Surrey's work is reinforced by a distinctive quality of light and a constrained palette that conveys a certain melancholic atmosphere.

Annual Wellness Testing allows our doctors to identify conditions and diseases in your pet before signs may be evident. Additionally, screening tests provide information on what's "normal" for your pet, and allows your doctor to quickly evaluate changes in his or her biology.
Tailored Wellness Programs
Wellness Lasts a Lifetime:
Our Pets Have Special Needs at Each Stage of Life
Pets age roughly 5-7 times faster than humans. It's vital to test every year to screen for diseases and conditions.
By testing, your doctor will be able to identify critical patterns in your pet's biological make-up. Ultimately, early detection will enable an accurate diagnosis more quickly, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in tests and critical care.
Download our wellness brochure here and see more information on the different wellness age groups below.
We have three specially designed wellness programs:
Puppy and Kitten Wellness (The First Year of Life)
Your young dogs and cats deserve extra attention and care, and our puppy and kitten tailored wellness programs provide the advice you need. Our veterinarians not only check your puppy or kitten to make sure he or she is growing right, but we share our best practices for raising healthy pets that live long healthful lives.
Junior Wellness (1 to 7 years of age)
For dogs and cats that are less than seven years of age, Junior Wellness provides our veterinarians with an important baseline set of results from key diagnostic tests. As time goes on, we compare new results with the old to uncover hidden changes in your pet's health.
Senior Wellness (greater than 7 years of age)
Older pets need special tests and exams to catch age-related diseases such as diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, Cushing's and others. In addition to the detailed physical exam and diagnostic blood work and urine testing. Our veterinarians may also recommend an ultrasound, electrocardiograph (ECG) or radiographs (x-rays). Overall, we will assign testing your pet with the most modern breakthroughs. New tests and treatments for animals are discovered every day.

Trading Slaps
So Bridget Moynahan had her baby. Tom Brady was apparently at the hospital but not permitted inside for the birth. Word is he did spend some time with the boy before being told his mother wanted to limit his involvement. And despite telling teammates and even announcing on the field during a pre-season NFL game last week that the child had been christened with his own last name, Bridget's publicist made it very clear this week that motherhood has not tamed Bridget's bitch. John Edward Thomas Moynahan – you will note the only acknowledgement to his father is the middle name, and the 2nd middle name at that. Even worse – as pointed out by a very astute reader the other day whose name escapes me, I'm so sorry!!! – the baby's initials spell: J.E.T.
If you're from New York, or if you follow the NFL, you can probably hear it now: J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. An AFC East legendary rivalry… coincidence or conspiracy? Well played, Bridge. Well played.
Even Mary Louise Parker was more generous than that, naming her kid after Billy Crudup (William Atticus Parker) and a first name too! But this is not a Claire Danes situation. Tom Brady did not leave Bridget for Bundchen – sources on both sides have made that clear. Like any woman however Bridget was pissed not only because he found love again so soon and with someone who looks like Gisele no less but also because he spent little to no time with her during her pregnancy while clearly falling deeper into commitment with one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
Of course…it had to sting, non?
And since I'm a petty unforgiving bitter bitch too, I'd totally do the same thing. I'd totally take it out on the dude through my kid and mother-block access. It is absolutely the best revenge, the most satisfying kind of revenge. Revenge is everything! The best interests of the child are nothing! Hurt him where it hurts the most 100%, the child won't need a father anyway, right? I totally approve! Bridge is making bitches proud!
Having said that, getting shut out of his son's life doesn't appear to have deterred Tom's ardour. He and Gisele remain close and cuddly, see attached via giselefan.org
If Tom really wants to see his kid though, I'd keep sightings like this to a minimum. Bet you Bridge is now seething.

We are proud to introduce the Vintage Beistle Halloween Collection. Vintage Beistle brings back the past with its reintroduction of the mystical colors of orange and black. Check out the reproductions of the classic Halloween decorations you remember growing up. Vintage Halloween decorations have been very popular collectibles and The Beistle Company has been one of the most sought after names. The Beistle Company has been the largest producer of Halloween decorations since the 1920's. Since Halloween is one of our biggest holidays, we decided to create reproductions of the Vintage Halloween line first. Each of the products we will introduce are reproductions of actual vintage artwork from our archives. Some of the pieces selected to be re-introduced were very popular and others were selected because of their ornate classic Beistle artwork. As each season progresses, we will expand the Vintage Beistle product line accordingly for other holidays. We hope you enjoy these mysterious pieces that Vintage Beistle is bringing back to life!

When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban swept to power in 2010, one of the many things he promised was to clean up government and root out graft.
Three years on, a shake-up of the sale of cigarettes, of all things, has turned into a scandal that has convinced many Hungarian voters that a culture of corruption remains very much alive.
Originally, last year, the slashing of the number of outlets allowed to sell tobacco products from 42,000 — including gas stations and supermarkets — to just 7,000 "National Tobacco Shops" run under a state monopoly was billed as a noble attempt to stub out teenage smoking.
However, when the list of winners, from a tender process, to own the licenses for the new state shops was revealed in April, it emerged that many not only had no experience in the business, but had close ties to the ruling right-wing party Fidesz. In some cases they were even family members.
Others were employees of cigarette manufacturer Continental, whose chief executive is a friend of Janos Lazar, Orban's chief of staff and the author of the legislation creating the state monopoly on tobacco sales.
Inflaming matters further, a recording was leaked to the press of the Fidesz mayor of one town telling party colleagues to check a list of bidders and saying "just as long as the [opposition] Socialists don't win any." Similar cases emerged in two other towns.
Speaking at a demonstration against the monopoly, Katalin Szabone, one of the leaders of an angry protest group of tobacconists, told reporters that of 5,145 concessions granted so far, just 60 of Hungary's current tobacconists had won their bids.
Gabor Felkai, a 55-year-old who has run a shop since the 1990s, but who failed to win a concession, said he cannot cover costs without selling cigarettes.
"I am too old now to get another job, so I feel very bitter," he said, holding a placard that read, "Fidesz has taken away my living."
Several amendments to the legislation were made after the bidding process was closed. There would be a lucrative sales margin of 10 percent. Shops would sell not just cigarettes as originally planned, but also ice cream, drinks and newspapers, and get cheap loans.
Moreover, Fidesz — which enjoys a majority in parliament — then rushed through a Freedom of Information amendment as suspicions over the concessions grew, which critics said was to ensure that compromising data on the scandal remained secret.
The amendment was vetoed by the president for infringing civil rights, but made its way back into parliament to be approved in only a slightly modified format.
Gergely Karacsony, a lawmaker with the opposition Dialogue for Hungary party, compares the scandal to the cronyism rampant during the communist era that ended in 1989.
"Back then [the elite] got apartments from the party, now they get shops," he said. "It's a mirage that they are trying to curb smoking, in reality it is centrally organized theft."
And it is not the first time since Orban came to power that suspicions have been raised that those in the ruling party are out to line their own pockets and those of their family and friends.
In the leasing of agricultural land, concession winners' secret bids left local farmers furious at losing out to well-connected individuals and companies.
The government insists the procedure to award the tobacco concessions was fair, with Orban saying media reports that some winners have ties to the left proves this. The combative Lazar accused US tobacco giant Philip Morris — which has a plant in Hungary — of stirring up the outrage as they now stand to lose revenue.

St first glance it's hard to figure out what exactly this piece of art represents because of the bare bone of the rib cage, the beautiful blossoms, and the heart that is the only thing that stands out in a bold manner even though it's covered with blackened ribs. When I was sketching out this drawing a lot of things where going through my mind. I was thinking of beauty, suffocation, fear, love, joy, pain, curious, and stunned. I think what this drawing conveys is how no matter how gloomy, depressed, confused or frustrated you feel, beauty and love will always find it's way through all the despair. The flowers will eventually gain its color back as the sorrow fades away. I hope you like learning how to draw a rib cage tattoo, I really love how this drawing concept came out.

WALTHAM — The Massachusetts Association of Realtors reported this week that pending home sales in October experienced their second biggest year-over-year increase since MAR began tracking this data.
The Realtor group also reported that pending condominium sales also rose significantly.
The number of single-family homes put under agreement in October was 4,355, up 35.9 percent from the 3,204 agreements reached in October 2011. It was the 18th straight month of year-over-year increases.
The number of condos put under agreement in October totaled 1,673, up 43.5 percent from the year-ago total of 1,166.
Real-estate professionals say the tracking of signed purchase-and-sales agreements, also called "pending sales," provide reliable information about where the real-estate market is heading in coming months.
A pending sale is when the buyer and seller agree on the terms of the sale of a home and have a signed purchase-and-sale agreement, but have yet to close.

How silver could bounce back after a 'bearish 2017'
"Now that we have fallen below $16, we are back in what I believe is an extremely attractive accumulation zone," Peter Spina, president and chief executive officer of GoldSeek.com, told MarketWatch.
He said prospects for silver are "looking significantly stronger" in the second half of the year.
Commercial traders such as banks have engaged in "huge short covering," moving into more bullish positioning, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data, he said. Meanwhile, "the more momentum-driven funds have sold off a large chunk of their paper silver to them," he said. "History has shown this to be a bullish indicator for the coming reversal in silver prices."
Spina said he doesn't expect silver to "do anything big," like climb above $20 this year, but it could "easily jump a few dollars from here, which is quite significant in percentage terms."
Silver prices could still "dip briefly to low or sub-$15 on a final wash out," warned Spina. "But the risk/rewards here favor adding to physical silver positions and adding to some of our favorite silver miners."
"The bullish price scenario for silver keeps growing over time and within the next couple of years, I believe we will see silver prices target the mid-$20s, with a possible spike towards $30," said Spina.

See our Europe Collision Damage Waiver & Loss Damage Waiver page for a detailed explanation of your insurance options in Europe. For campervan and motorhome rentals, try our motorhome and campervan excess coverage overview or for 4x4s and 4x4 campers, try our 4x4 excess coverage page.
At the rental desk you will be offered insurance (also called Excess Reduction or Excess Waiver or Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) or Super Loss Damage Waiver (SLDW) etc). Instead you can purchase a RentalCover.com policy which will provide coverage for the "excess" which applies to any rental vehicle locally. The vehicle's standard liability is the maximum amount you would have to pay in the event of an accident. For example, a car with €2200 standard liability means that any damages up to €2200 in repair costs will be paid by you. This payment for repair costs is called "excess" and the rental companies offer to reduce that for a certain amount per day depending on the company and vehicle you have chosen.
Using RentalCover.com, you would pay the rental company in the event of damages and then claim that amount to the issuer of your RentalCover.com policy.
There are three key amounts relating to car hire excess in each country, namely:
1. Your RentalCover.com claim fee would be $0.
2. Your RentalCover.com price is very competitive.
3. Your RentalCover.com policy includes all common types of damage, including windscreen, tyre, underbody, roof and overhead damages and damages caused by driving at night, hitting animals, in single vehicle accidents, demurrage, and more.

The Natural Logarithm
Before this little break, we defined a function on the interval of integration. We proved some properties about the functions we get like this, lining them up against the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In particular, integrating like this can construct antiderivatives.
Now let's consider some of the most basic functions of one variable — monomials — and their derivatives. We know that the derivative of is whenever is an integer. Let's try running this backwards by using Riemann integration.
First for we know that is defined everywhere, so we can consider the function defined for any real by
Whatever function this is will have as its derivative. We can see that has this derivative, and we know that any two antiderivatives differ by a constant. That is, for some real constant . But we can also tell that because in that case we're integrating over a degenerate interval of zero width. This tells us that , and we've determined our constant.
How about for ? Now our integrand has an asymptote at so we can't integrate across it. Let's start at and define a function for all positive real by
Again we know that the derivative will be , and that is such an antiderivative. We also know that , which tells us that so our constant of integration is . That is, we've defined the function on the interval .
Now what happens when we take this exact same procedure and apply it to the function ? There is no monomial whose derivative is a scalar multiple of , so the above procedure breaks down. Still, there's some function out there. Indeed, consider the integral
For any positive real number the integrator is of bounded variation on (in fact it's monotone), and is continuous for positive , so the integral is indeed defined. Since the integrator is differentiable for all positive values, the integral must be as well, and .
That is, this procedure has defined for us an antiderivative of on the interval . We call this function the "natural logarithm" and denote it . Tomorrow we'll start exploring some of its properties.
As a side note, those of you who have been paying close attention will notice that I have yet to use any function more complicated than a rational power of the variable yet. I'm following the pattern of "late transcendentals" in presenting the calculus. The alternative — "early transcendentals" — is to give a hand-waving (but not rigorous) definition of exponentials and logarithms early on to get more examples into the students' hands. I advocate that position for college-level calculus classes for a number of reasons, but ultimately delaying the transcendentals makes for less unlearning later on.

There are very few simple dishes that look more beautiful than whole artichokes.
For my next dinner party, these will absolutely be the appetizers. Artichokes are incredibly healthy (unless you go crazy with aioli for dipping) and they're absolutely stunning while requiring almost no work. You can throw these in to roast when the first guest arrives, and by the time you're done with cocktails, they're ready for the table.
During our move, four plates of our wedding china got broken, and I realized I was even sadder because I'd never even used them. Chad and I have been married for two years already, and I haven't even taken them out? Insanity. So I've decided to make an effort to use them more, even just for day-to-day type things. It's kind of nice to work special-occasion pieces into ordinary days — and how beautiful do they make every dish look?
Roasted Artichokes
To prep the artichokes, first cut off the stem and peel off a layer of the lowest, outer leaves. Then take scissors and cut of the tips of all of the remaining leaves, and then slice the artichoke about 3/4″ from the tip, all the way through.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Rub the outer layers of the artichoke with lemon juice. Place each artichoke on a square of tinfoil and drizzle with lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Wrap the foil around the artichokes and bake for about 45-60 minutes.
To eat, peel off each of the leaves and eat the fleshy part at their base. Serve with melted butter or aioli (my recipe is here!), and dip each leaf into the aioli if desired. When all the leaves are gone, scrape out and discard the inedible fuzzy part and eat the remaining artichoke heart.

Lovely! And this counts as wordless, because I can't understand the words. Ha ha!
(Ok, for a translation of the super-cool text, click over to The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog. I saw this first on PhD in Parenting, so thanks for the heads up.)
P.S. I love how "mamá" (mother) and "mamar" (breastfeeding) are so similar and fluid in Spanish!

Plan Adopted on August 28, 2015
(Revision of the eastern portion of the Tanana Basin Area Plan)
Adoption of the
Information Resources
Public Involvement
The Resource Assessment and Development Section (RADS), within the Division of Mining, Land and Water, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has initiated the development of the Eastern Tanana Area Plan (ETAP). The existing area plan within the ETAP boundary, the Tanana Basin Area Plan (TBAP), developed in the early 1980's, adopted in 1985, and updated in 1991, is dated and needs revising to account for changes in land ownership; to reflect the current and anticipated economic, social and environmental conditions in the area; and to provide a sufficient land-base for the development and conservation of the state's natural resources.
The ETAP boundary contains approximately 6.5 million acres of general state owned and selected lands, plus over 1 million acres of Legislatively Designated Areas (LDA) located within the eastern portion of the existing TBAP boundary with the exception of the area around the Tangle Lakes Special Use Area. This area is excluded from the ETAP, primarily due to the area being functionally similar to other lands adjacent to the Denali Highway corridor. This area will now be included in a future plan for lands along the Denali Highway.
The remaining portion of the TBAP is addressed in the recent Yukon Tanana Area Plan (YTAP) (see above link). Together, the ETAP and the YTAP will constitute the revision of the existing TBAP and will provide up-to-date management direction for the state owned and selected lands in the area. These plans will not affect federal, borough, Mental Health Trust, University, Native, or other private lands, and will not affect oil and gas lease sales or gas only lease sales.
Our state lands can provide many different resources to many different people, including fish, wildlife, water, timber, minerals, recreation and tourism opportunities, and settlement opportunities. There are many different ideas about how these state resources should be used, and sometimes these uses conflict with each other. However, if the land is managed carefully, many uses can occur in the same area.
Planning is a way of sorting through the possibilities for using state land, choosing those uses with the greatest benefits for all Alaskans, and involving the public in the process. The planning process provides a link between the citizens and the agencies charged with managing their land. All resources and uses are considered and evaluated in the process, and whenever possible guidelines are established that allow for multiple use.
DNR has latitude to decide how detailed a land use plan should be. On one hand, land use plans should provide enough guidance to ensure that development will be orderly and responsible and serve the long-term public interest. On the other hand, an area plan should provide DNR adequate flexibility in the future to consider the individual merits of proposed development projects.
What is the Process for Developing the Area Plan?
Below is an outline of the major steps that will be taken to develop both the ETAP and the YTAP. The approximate timing for each step will periodically be updated, but please note that the recommended time frames may change, depending on circumstances that may arise.
- Gather Information. Information is collected about natural resources, present land use, land ownership, local history and economy. (a great deal of this is done in the beginning, but it occurs throughout the planning process)
- Identify Issues. Public Scoping Meetings are held to learn about local interests and issues with state lands. This also helps to get the word out that the planning process has begun. (Late April 2009 )
- Prepare Public Review Draft. Using resource information that has been gathered and public and agency comments, planning staff develops a draft plan.
- Public Review Period. The Public Review Draft is made available, and public meetings are held to discuss the draft, receive comments, and identify parts that may need to be changed.
- Prepare Final Draft. Based on comments during the public review period, a final draft is prepared.
- Adopted by Commissioner of DNR on August 28, 2015
What happens next?
The comment period on the Public Review Draft of the Eastern Tanana Area Plan has closed as of November 14th, 2014. DNR is in the process of reviewing the comments that were received during the public comment period between August 8th and the November 14th deadline.
In response to issues identified in these comments DNR is developing an Issue Response Summary and a List of Approved Revisions. The Public Review Draft as modified by the identifed changes (contained in the List of Approved Revisions) will constitute the Final Plan. The Final Plan will be presented to the Commisioner of the Department of Natural Resources for adoption.
