Jeffrey L. Johnson, Managing Principal, Reunion Office Holdings
Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Jeffrey L. Johnson, 51, is the Managing Principal of Reunion Office Holdings. Prior to forming Reunion Office Holdings, from 2003 to 2007, Mr. Johnson was Chief Investment Officer, and Chairman of the Investment Committee for Equity Office Properties Trust (NYSE: EOP). Mr. Johnson restructured the Investment group and implemented an investment strategy that resulted in over $12.5 billion in transaction volume, providing capital for a $2.6 billion Equity Office stock repurchase at an average purchase price of $31.16 per share. He was developing a strategy for international investment when he became involved in Equity Office's sale to the Blackstone Group for $55.50 per share - the largest public to private transaction ever completed in the United States at that time. Equity Office's total shareholder return was over 35% during Mr. Johnson's most recent tenure as Chief Investment Officer.
Beginning in 2000, he was a Managing Director, founding Partner, and Co-Head of U.S. Investments for Lehman Brothers' real estate private equity group, where he was one of six founding members that raised a $1.6 billion international, private equity real estate fund. Through July 2002, over $500 million of equity was invested in $6.9 billion of real estate with returns exceeding 30%.
From 1990 to 1999, Mr. Johnson was a senior executive at Equity Office and its predecessor entities, most recently serving as Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Johnson was instrumental in completing Equity Office's initial public offering in July 1997, setting investment strategies and completing over $9 billion of real estate operating company transactions and property acquisitions. Mr. Johnson led the Investment team on Equity Office's $4.3 billion merger with Beacon Properties. He established the development group, the mergers and acquisitions group and the investment management group of Equity Office. During his tenure as Chief Investment Officer, Equity Office experienced external growth of almost 200%, and per share earnings growth of over 15% per annum. In 1996, Mr. Johnson was placed in charge of the asset management department where he restructured the group and developed the valuation process in preparation of Equity Office's initial public offering. From 1990 to 1996, he was a senior acquisitions officer where he was responsible for acquiring over $1.2 billion of office properties, or 40% of Zell/Merrill Lynch Opportunity Funds II, III, and IV. Those Funds reported an imputed return in excess of 15% per annum. After the acquisition of a portfolio from Wright-Runstad & Co., Mr. Johnson was appointed to the Board of Directors of Wright-Runstad & Co.
Prior to 1990, Mr. Johnson worked as real estate investor with Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch and First Wachovia. Mr. Johnson holds an undergraduate degree from Denison University and an M.B.A. from Northwestern University's Kellogg School. He is the Chairman of Kellogg's Real Estate Advisory Board, a member of the Urban Land Institute and the Chicago Commonwealth Club, and he is a Trustee of The Nature Conservancy.

First Clip of 'The Canyons' Sees Lindsay Lohan Suffering From Domestic Abuse
Hot on heels of news about Lindsay Lohan's antics on "The Canyons" set, the sexual thriller movie unleashes its very first clip. The nearly 3-minute long sneak peek focuses on a "morning after" scene when LiLo secretly calls her own phone, which is hid in James Deen's drawer.
Things suddenly get ugly as Deen finds out that his on-screen girlfriend wants her phone back in order to call her secret lover. "I trusted you and you lie to me!" so Deen shouts at LiLo while he loses control and repeatedly swears at, beats and pushes the actress against the wall. LiLo can only cry as she defends herself, "I don't know what you're talking about..."
"The Canyons" is a contemporary L.A. noir about the dangers of sexual obsession and ambition, both personally and professionally, among a group of young people in their 20's and how one chance meeting connected to the past unravels all of their lives, resulting in deceit, paranoia, cruel mind games and ultimately violence.
Lohan stars as Tara, who is "addicted to a materialist lifestyle," while Deen tackles the part of Tara's boyfriend Christian, a "manipulative trust-fund kid with dreams of making a movie." They are joined by Nolan Gerard Funk, Amanda Brooks, Lauren Schacher, Tenille Houston and Jim Boeven.
The movie is directed by Paul Schrader with Bret Easton Ellis penning the script. It still hasn't got a U.S. release date.

IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Latest instalment in the acclaimed IL-2 Sturmovik series from award-winning developer 1C: Maddox Games. |

Foo'bar banned
Dear community,
when I wanted to see today in the early morning after the news in the official 1C forum, I had to find out that I have been banned for the next two months. One takes amiss of it me that I had dared the day before to leave a melancholy comment in an already older thread. What is no big thing under normal circumstances, seems to have provided in view of the at the moment ruling excitement for a considerable mess among the forum visitors and prompted my highly respected mod collegues to hectic actionism. Obviously my contribution has provided for so a lot of confusion and restlessness under blind and unreflective after the hotly desired patch craving leisure pilots that one felt exciting to have to lock out even a honorable and long-standing Additional 3D Developer from Cliffs of Dover about for a long time from this forum. Now, I take the affair with humor and will use my suddenly gotten spare time to create high-class railroad and building models also furthermore, for public good here in the Il-2 community, even for those which had demanded so energetically my distance from the 1C forum. In the end, we want everything only one thing: the best combat flight simulator. And now, mods, feel free to ban even this second account for having multiple ones. This will be my first and last post with Mexxoft identity. See you in two months. I have to work. For you. Check for regularly updates at Foo'blog. Foo'bar aka Mexxoft aka Peter F. Schaller Additional 3D Developer for Il-2 Sturmovik Series. PS: Please excuse this rather bad translation, it would be easier to me to express myself in my native language. PSPS: If somebody has downloaded an old patch because of me, has installed and has destroyed his well-oiled CloD installation with it, then I'm honestly sorry. This wasn't my intention - although some new habitants of my increased ignore list seem to know exactly what my intentions were. |
Had to make a screen shot just for historic purposes.

Foo, Mexx - not sure how many accounts I have but some got banned in the kil- eh moderation spree. Since you need an account to view attachments you should always have a new one ready though.
Now that we have moderators who promote ignore lists and actually use them themselves (not sure how they're able to moderate using ignore lists...) it makes me wonder what the staff defines as "moderate" and "moderation" anyways. But I guess there's just no one better around willing to do the job. The irony is that there's simply no real "care" taking place. I mentioned a long time ago that tons of useless threads are pinned. Much of the confusion, which obviously even resulted in bannings, could've been avoided by actually cleaning old stickies, adjusting thread names properly and only sticking the IMPORTANT and NEW posts. And gathering up rules and infraction info and ignore list how-to's and other "important" messages in in one simple sticky post. Only time will tell if we will ever see a forum index that doesn't require a monitor in portrait mode to actually see the threads and not just stickies... |

It's unfortunate that you chose to bring back an old thread like that when it would have been more appropriate to create a new thread stating the same fact.
It wasn't what you said it was that you brought back an old thread at a time when everyone is on edge about a pending beta. I am disppointed that I had to ban you but it was appropriate, if it were anyone else they would have been equally treated, especially since the intent was taken as malicious whether intended or not, the damage was done to innocent users installations. You used very poor judgement and must pay the price. I appreciate what youve done for the il2 community but this was not a minor infraction and we all need to be kept to the standard we want to maintain regardless of our position in the community. In sincerity all the best in your projects until you return, and we look forward to your return with better judgement on what passes as humor in the future.

For those who have added a custom sole (like Crane's Raptor), does it change how the boot fits (e.g., did it make it smaller)? I have done this on shoes and it always seems to make them smaller. I ask because I would like to size my new pair of 1000 Mile boots properly knowing that I will be putting some sort of rubber sole on (e. g., raptor, commander, dainite, etc.). Thanks for any advice kindly given to a new new guy.
OMG, folks, are these boots made in China?!?!?

Small parasitoid wasps could become important allies in the fight
to reduce multi-billion-dollar losses caused by stored-product pests,
offering warehouse and retail managers a biological alternative to
chemical controls, which can be costly and environmentally worrisome to
use. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The top recruit is Habrobracon hebetor, a 2- to 3-millimeter-long, reddish-brown wasp that seeks out the caterpillar offspring of hosts like the Indian-meal moth and immobilizes them with a paralyzing sting. The wasp then deposits several eggs on her quarry. Within a few days, her maggotlike brood emerge to suck out their host's juices. Afterwards, they spin a cocoon and pupate before emerging as adult wasps, ready to start the cycle over. Studies with packaged commodities, conducted by Agricultural Research Service scientists in the Stored Product Insect Research Unit (SPIRU) in Manhattan, Kansas, indicate that releasing H. hebetor wasps can reduce Indianmeal moth populations by 71 percent--and 97 percent if combined with the egg parasitoid Trichogramma deion. Sanitation and fumigation are among methods now used to control the pest, which causes harm directly, by feeding on grains and other edible stored goods, and indirectly, by leaving behind bits of cocoon, frass, and other debris. "Indianmeal moths are very difficult to control because they feed on almost any food material, but the parasitoids search them out very well," says SPIRU research leader James Throne. Their parasitism also cuts down on contaminants the pest leaves behind. And "once parasitoids get established, they provide a continual control program of their own doing," he adds. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] For all its biocontrol promise, though, H. hebetor has yet to be used (in the United States, at least) as a frontline defense by warehouse or retail managers. In part, this is due to the difficulty commercial insectaries have had in mass-producing sufficient numbers of the wasp, whose eggs must be hatched and reared on living, captive hosts. "There's interest by industry," Throne says, but no one company has taken the lead in commercializing the parasitoids. Science, however, has pushed on. Together with colleagues from Kansas State University-Manhattan and Huazhong Agricultural University (HAU) in Wuhan, China, Throne has focused attention on an insect resting state called "reproductive diapause." In short, they found that they could artificially induce the diapause state in H. hebetor wasps by "conditioning" them for prolonged refrigerated storage after rearing. In trials, the diapause-induced wasps generally survived cold storage for up to 2 months at 41[degrees]F. But this depended on the set of conditioning temperatures and light-exposure periods used. Throughout the experiments, the researchers compared the health, longevity, egg production, and other attributes of the diapause-induced wasps to a control group, which had not been conditioned. They found little significant difference between the two groups, aside from a lower percentage of female offspring from diapaused wasps than from non-diapaused ones (36 versus 52 percent). Of the range of wasp-conditioning protocols the researchers evaluated, the optimal combination was 68[degrees]F and a photoperiod exposure of 10 hours. "Cold storage provides flexibility and efficiency in mass production and minimizes the costs of maintaining a colony during periods when releases are not required," reports the team, led by HAU graduate student Haoliang Chen, in a paper published in Environmental Entomology. Small-scale tests in sheds simulating warehouse conditions are planned to evaluate the wasp's parasitism rates following release from cold storage. This research is part of Crop Protection and Quarantine, an ARS national program (#304) described at www.nps.ars.usda.gov. James Throne is in the USDA-ARS Stored Product Insect Research Unit, 1515 College Ave., Manhattan, KS66502; (785) 776-2796, firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Titanic 3D (review)
A Human Story
I had just begun my career as a film critic when Titanic was first released in late 1997. Although I was 28 years old and had considered myself a serious film buff for well over a decade, I had only just begun to think about movies — about Hollywood — in a serious way. So I missed it, back then, what it was about James Cameron's magnificent movie that was (and still is) so extraordinary.
Wait, no: backtrack. That's not quite true. There are many things that are extraordinary about Titanic, and I found some of them then. In my final of three essays I wrote back in early 1998 — I was that overwhelmed by the movie I kept returning to it — I considered how Cameron represents the disaster as the true end of the Victorian age and the spiritual beginning of the 20th century, and how the modern framing story might lead one to consider whether we, at the other end of the 20th century, should be on the alert for our own iceberg right ahead, for another reminder of our blind spots to disaster. I called the film "an elegy for the 20th century at its end"… and though I have seen Titanic many times again, on TV and DVD, between 1997 and 2012, it took revisiting the film in a cinema for its 3D rerelease for this to strike home: there are powerful resonances of 9/11 in Titanic that prove Cameron's prophetic intuition. It's a philosophical and theoretical prophecy, of course — the film does not predict any particular future event, merely expresses an awareness of the turnings of history on a big scale and how deeply they can cut us on the personal scale.
There were moments, as I was overwhelmed again by Titanic in 3D on the second biggest screen in London (after the only IMAX screen in the city), as I watched people jumping or falling from the doomed ship, that cut me very deeply indeed.
(The 3D conversion? It's entirely unobtrusive, and entirely superfluous. The reason to see Titanic 3D is not for the 3D, but for the chance to see the film on a big screen again. You won't even notice the 3D.)
Nope, what I really missed, back in 1998, was why Titanic resonated so eloquently with the female audiences that made it — until Cameron's own Avatar surpassed it in 2009 — the biggest moneymaking movie of all time (not adjusted for inflation). Back then, the film enjoyed a tremendous reign, holding the top spot on the North American box office ranking for an astonishing 15 weeks. Movies didn't do that in 1998, and they don't do that today: that's 1930s, Golden Age, there-were-no-other-entertainment-options stuff. The analysis at the time — What the hell is so engaging about this movie?! — was befuddled and bemused. All these teen girls running back to see the movie five, ten, fifteen times! Who could have imagined? Why on earth would girls embrace a film that, all the Important Critics and Serious Industry Watchers agreed, was technically dazzling but rather ridiculous? (Never mind that no one — no one — is mystified when fanboys return repeatedly to a movie.) I mean, look: David Edelstein in Slate called it "nothing so much as an Edwardian soap opera" with a plot "out of turn-of-the-century melodrama." Desson Howe in The Washington Post said the romance was "only passably involving." Even the positive reviews were down on the Rose-and-Jack love story. Stephen Hunter, also in The Washington Post, said the film represented "Cameron at his best"… but then he fretted that the film fell down in ignoring all the many real-life male heroes of the disaster. He dismissed the fictional romance as something pulled from "Woman's Home Companion" and "completely unversed in… psychological complexities." Also too: Jack Dawson is not appropriately protagonist-y.
I wasn't wrong, back in 1998, when I marveled at how Titanic's romance was not the typical sort, in that it did not require that the couple change for one another, just that they be fully themselves, and so it represented, for all the relative youth of Leonardo Dicaprio's (J. Edgar, Inception) Jack and Kate Winslet's (Contagion, Carnage) Rose, a kind of grownup relationship the likes of which we don't usually see in Hollywood romances. And so, I figured back then, that was appealing to girls and women, who were longing for something slightly less cartoonish in their romantic stories. But still I missed the forest for the trees, because I hadn't been looking at movies and Hollywood as a forest, so to speak, for long enough.
Watching the film again, it suddenly struck me with the force of a pop-culture hurricane: Titanic is all about Rose. It is Rose's personal journey. This hardly ever happens in films, which are almost invariably about men and their personal journeys. From the most idiotic action movie to the most profound drama, most movies offer us only men who grow and change over the course of a (hopefully) engaging and exciting story. Women, if they're lucky enough to appear at all, are the noble, saintly bystanders who inspire and encourage men; if they're unlucky, they will be sacrificed, often quite literally via rape, murder, or both, to the male protagonist's spiritual and personal development.
I would bet the rent that most moviegoers — male and female alike — are only dimly, subconsciously aware of the gender disparity we get from Hollywood. I'm sure most of the girls and women who flocked to Titanic in 1997 and 1998 — and who will do so again with the rerelease — could not articulate why the film resonates so much with them. (Obviously, I couldn't articulate it either!) But this is why: Titanic tells us that a woman's growth as a person matters. Jack, as a character, is unchanged over the course of the film, as women typically are in such stories: he enters cheerful and optimistic and adventurous, and he exits exactly the same way. He is unchanged… because he is already perfect in all the ways that the story requires. Just like women usually are in The Movies. What's more — and I suspect that this is the thing that bothers the men in the audience so much — Jack must be sacrificed for Rose to grow as a person. Rose would not have become the woman we meet at 101 years of age if Jack had survived.
What's more, this isn't even irrelevant to the larger story of the sinking of the Titanic. This disaster wasn't just a harbinger of technological change, of mass death brought on by human arrogance, it was a harbinger of a sweeping social change to come that was a knock-on effect of the technology that the ship represented… including a dramatically different role for women in society. No, that's not addressed by the film… but neither are the other taken-for-granted future reflections of the disaster, either.
This isn't girl stuff. It's human stuff. The appeal is mysterious only to those who are too comfortably used to the human stories being men's stories. I suddenly find it hilariously ironic that one of the fundamental aspects of a film about, in part, the failings of blind arrogance and hubris sails right by some of its watchers for apparently similar causes.

Rick, Yes, I reviewed the voting records for each of the three standards that I referred to. Perhaps it could have been clearer, but what I was saying was that almost none of the upgraded members have cast a single vote, without trying to allocate who was at fault. It's true, in one sentence I did say that "almost all" of the newbies voted against OOXML. A better choice of words would have been "something more than most but less than almost all," or better yet, an actual count. I got lazy there, partly because I wrote this blog entry in pieces in two airports, during a flight, and in a hotel lobby before posting which made it difficult to do as much fact checking as I usually try to do. - Andy

The temporary park space that Two Trees Management announced back in March for a vacant lot near their Domino Sugar Refinery housing complex site is now open to the public! The previously empty land was transformed into Havemeyer Park and Brooklyn Bike Park, two interim community spaces featuring fun attractions like a dirt bike course, an urban farm and an outdoor reading room. The 55,000-square-foot lot on Kent Avenue between South 3rd and South 4th Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is now mostly complete but will continue to add more vendors and activities throughout the year.
"Two Trees is committed to Williamsburg for the long haul, and we want to be able to give back to the community as we prepare to build at the Domino Sugar site," said Jed Walentas, Principal at Two Trees Management, back when the interim park project was first announced. "The operators we've selected will be welcoming residents of all ages to this new public open space for biking, reading, relaxing, yoga classes, and more."
Havemeyer Park and Brooklyn Bike Park will feature a variety of seasonal programming including yoga classes, hands-on urban farming classes and kids activities. The new bike park, created by Ride Brooklyn and Dellavalle Designs features areas for both basic riders as well as more challenging terrain for advanced riders. The site also has a bi-lingual outdoor reading room, a community farm operated by North Brooklyn Farms, and a public green space designed, built and operated by a team led by Williamsburg resident Bobby Redd, who was also responsible for revamping a vacant 19th century church in the area into the vibrant community space.

ReplyDelete Thanks Tom, I just learned how to walk and chew gum at the same time :))
Dan, I received a bunch of these boards this week and I have a guy with the name of Shawn building one of these welders as we speak. I'm using his questions to write a manual and also to see what problems might come up. I will let you guys know when this is done and when the boards will be for sale. I will try (NO PROMISE) to get it done within 2 to 3 weeks.- DarrellJanuary 1, 2010 at 7:16 AM
Have you considered adding paypal to your site so that your followers can make donations?
ReplyDelete Awesome job with this project Fritz! The price on the mosfet from the HK vendor seems a little too good. Are you sure they are not selling the IRFP2907ZPBF as an IRFP2907PBF? The $3.50 price point seems more in line with the Z part which has a continuous drain current rating of 90A as opposed to 209A for the non-Z.

In the wake of the huge success of the TV and live versions of Goodness Gracious Me, British Asian comedy is on the crest of a wave right now. One of the comedians surfing it most adeptly is Jeff Mirza. He acknowledges the influence Goodness Gracious Me has had. "It has raised the profile generally. It has helped because people now think `Asians can be funny'. Beforehand, the stereotype was always, black people are cool and Asian people are doctors." Having said that, Mirza is keen to appeal to as broad an audience as possible. "My comedy is not for Asians specifically. I've played Inverness. There are no brown faces in sight, yet the audience still went with me." He appears on a bill featuring Manjit, a hip Southall DJ with added gags, Azeem, a former architect from Toronto, and Jemima Patel.

Spiderwebs in Pakistani trees after 2010 floods- 9 Images
389 viewsAn unexpected side-effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters.
Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenonemon before – but they also report that there are now less mosquitos than they would expect, given the amoungt of stagnant, standing water that is around.
It is thought that the mosquitos are getting caught in the spider's web thus reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the floods.
Floods in Pakistan July/Aug 2010

running up some rpms at full throttle (2nd gear) to get around a truck on a hill the power suddendly felt like someone cut the throttle cable. When I backed off and shifted to 3rd the problem went away. What the heck is that - anyone experience this one? Chas.
Did you hit the rev limiter? If not, maybe traction control kicked in? Damn, I'm glad I don't have that in my car now.
TC Yes, the rev limiter is around 7200 RPM could have done it, BUT... The Complaint has been Traction CONTROL!!! It is ON by DEFAULT and you downshift or try to chirp the tires, it will back the engine spark/rpm fuel down!!!! And feel like it want's to stall or something....many discussions over on the http://www.Mach1Registry.com/forums on this very topic!!
2nd gear, full throttle! Goodness. You know good'n well the T/C kicked in But that could have been a good thing. Might have kept you from swapping ends. Dennis
I doubt I went much above about 5600. But I don't know the accuracy of the tach. I can't see swapping ends in 2nd gear going straight - just not enough power. But I could imagine a traction control going brezerk at the wrong moment and inducing the problem - scary thought to rely on machines with such things. Are there any known problems with the TC? Overall it seems to work and do something useful. I like the idea of stealthy dicing with other cars and NOT attracting attention (police) with howling tires. Chas.
My advise would be to only use T/C when the conditions deem it necessary, ie wet, ice, snow, sand, otherwise shut it off! On one occasion I forgot I had it on, shifted into second and you might have thought I slammed on the brakes and turned the motor off and the same time!! The car did a nose dive that about threw me thru the windshield! On dry pavement Traction Control IS NOT your friend.
Kit There is a kit you can install that will switch the Traction Control to the OFF position automatically when the car is started.... I think we will be offering it on the Mach1Registry.com soon. Keep checking.
A pretty similar thing happened to me. I was riding through town one night and somebody in a 4 cylinder ranger was trying to be cool and make all kinds of noise so I was pulling up to a red light going down a hill and I thought I shift her down in to first and let em here it( I was only going like twenty or so) and when I did I thought i'd blew it up. It started cutting the throttle and what was gonna make my car sound cool just made it look like a piece.
5600RPM in 2nd gear? If you're having traction problems at 55MPH, you might want to look into better tires. Are these Mach1's really that strong, or is the T/C that crappy? BTW, I thought I remember reading that the T/C in the Mustang won't activate if you are at WOT. There is a name for that feature, but I can't remember it. -Chad
If it doesn't work in WOT, it could suddenly switch back on if you lift the gas slightly to upshift gears. Since I don't powershift that's the case. I drive to match the rpms to the next gear from racing on roadrace tracks for years. So maybe the TC can't react favorably to that condition if it switches off for WOT. Another reason to not use it! In some ways I like it -- so you can launch out from a stop with no wheelspin and not attract tickets. Chas.
Ok, I found some literature on it. This is from an old Road&Track article on the '99 GT. So, perhaps it's just a feature from a stop? All I know is, I'm now glad I didn't get that option from all the complaints I hear about it.
Traction Control Yup...it's the traction control, and it operates at any throttle setting. Feels like someone jammed a wood block under the accelerator and the car does all sorts of strange things, like brakingthe spinning wheel(s), until the wheels get full traction and then it's back to normal. Best bet is to shut off the traction control every time you start the car unless it's raining or slick out. There is a module available for about $60 that remembers the last setting YOU chose for the traction control off when you start the vehicle.

I live in South Africa where choices on backpacks are very limited.

Remember when the only time "trillions" were ever referenced was in science class, and it quantified either stars in the universe or miles in a light year? Now an overhaul of the health care system alone could account for a trillion dollars over a decade. We even see a $2 trillion ("give or take") discrepancy between the White House budget office estimate ($9 trillion) for the deficit over the next 10 years, and the Congressional Budget Office estimate of about $7 trillion.
Should we spend all our energy worrying about the affects of deficits, potential tax increases and the like? Or might you be able to experience more success by focusing on what you can control? Take a look at what is making you mad as a hornet about spending and deficits and apply it to your own personal economy so that your own resources are under better management.
Follow Intelligent Investing On Twitter

Look at some recent economic news and decide how it can best serve you:
According to the Office of Management and Budget, the economy will contract much more than expected this year–more than twice as much as originally predicted–and a recovery could also be slower than expected. You have little control over whether all this puts your job in jeopardy, raises your taxes or puts a dent in your portfolio. But what is your policy in the event of an unexpected contraction in your personal economy, such as a decline in your home value, lower income than you are accustomed to from your investments, a less generous bonus pool at work or even reduced hours? Will you try to borrow your way out, or can you rely on savings to get yourself out of a jam?
This is not the first administration to point out that it inherited the problem from the previous administration–it's equivalent to attributing your financial predicaments to an ex-spouse, and when you feel a crisis was dumped in your lap, you may feel the additional sting that you don't deserve it. Maybe you don't. So go ahead and vent. Then realize it's yours to deal with, roll up your sleeves and get to work improving it.
While the federal government faces huge deficits and a huge amount of debt over the coming years, it is difficult to fathom the exact effects on each of us. Forecasts show the public debt doubling by 2019, reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy (though that also assumes the unlikely scenario that the size of the national economy won't grow between now and 2019; if historic growth rates apply, the debt in 2019 could be a smaller percentage of GDP than it is today). If you look at current calculations of what the government will spend and tax per household, you may get angry, but what good will it do?
Instead, take some time and figure out what kind of debt in your life could affect your family's ability to prosper, and what level of household debt would necessitate making major changes, like uprooting and moving to a less expensive home in a less expensive part of the country. Know what level of personal debt would get you over your head to the extent that major changes would be involved, and it will be easier to avoid getting to that point. The next time you contemplate borrowing for a house, a car or a college education, consider the future as well as the here and now. For retirees, these choices sometimes include reentering the work force or taking out a reverse mortgage.
What level of household debt can keep you in the lower-risk zone? Traditional guidelines tell us that your total household debt payments should be no more than 36% of your family's gross income, and housing expenses alone should not exceed 28%. These standards were first gradually, then drastically relaxed during the real estate bubble.
Of course, not all outlays can be anticipated. Just as the federal government does not know when a national security incident will arise and immediately create the need for redirected resources and indefinite appropriations in the future, consumers are capable of being blindsided as well.
What kinds of emergencies can arise for you and create the need for you to make unexpected outlays and pile up too much debt. Having a liquid account with funds available when those unforeseen circumstances arise could be the make-or-break difference in a time of crisis. Currently, professionals recommend having a year's expenses available instead of the general rule of three to six months'.
Putting the right protection in place through insurance can help avert unforeseen causes of household deficits and long-term debt. Disability insurance is commonly overlooked as many people shop for the best life insurance policies. But the chances of using a disability policy before age 65 are much higher than your beneficiary collecting on a life insurance policy during your working years. Check with your employer to see what you have available through your workplace–you may have missed it among the mile-high stack of paperwork that landed on your desk your first day on the job.
Will the administration need to propose raising your taxes? This seems highly likely, and again, we each have little control over this. But what would be your own strategy if you needed to raise more revenue in your personal economy? Would it come from a second job or a different job? Would you try to raise it from your portfolio? Could you reposition assets to give you an additional income stream or simply take your dividends each month instead of reinvesting them to generate extra cash flow?
After throwing the daily paper on the dining room table and yelling at the news commentator from your chair in the living room, contemplate your choices. Blasting out an e-mail to your elected representative does make a difference–they read them and do write back. Your small, lone voice is heard. So make your phone call, write your letter or e-mail and get it out of your system. Then take charge of your own personal economy to reduce the negative effects of the national economy. This way you come out stronger no matter what the national debt.

My Apologies to the Slugs
I must make a formal apology to all slugs in my garden project here in Barbados. As you will see the damage I suspected from slugs was indeed after closer inspection a much more damaging creature.
All of the Cannas had alot of leaf damage
But after closer inspection the undersides of the leaf (Canna "Tropicana") had pieces folded over???
Strange silk thread bound down the leaf folds.
The culprit revealed !!!! some sort of hungry caterpillar ? not sure....
even more troubling are the microscopic eggs on the leaves...are they from this creature?
The other annoyance is my Weedus horribulus... what they call here nut grass(Cyperus rotundus) its throughout the garden and in the soil deliveries as I've found out ofter watering the garden and plantings. In the first picture on the post of the canna you can see it in all its glory to the left of the canna. Very robust, and the only solution seems to be roundup at full strength with an eye dropper or small paint brush. The 2 nuts are visible in the picture above. Its near impossible and very time consuming to hand dig without breaking the very fragile tether and then leaving the nut to regrow.
Trials and tribulations......

Moving Forward.....One plant at a time
The beds were defined by the raised roots of the Golden Apple tree (Spondias dulcis) and filled in behind with soil. Ive dumped 7 yards of compost/manure to raise the beds and now added more of a light compost mix to each of the planting holes.During this first stage we have received alot of rain over christmas and new years. This made for a heavy job as inches of mud clung to each shoe adding pounds of weight....not fun...
In the foreground of the pictures above I placed new soil where the new savannah grass lawn will be planted with individual plugs!!!
Booty from one of the many plant buying trips at various local nurseries
Enemy number one !!!
My secret stealth weapon on the war on slugs...to give some scale hes larger than my clenched fist !!

"Duel Identity, Part 1", known as "Absolute end! Shadow of seduction" in the Japanese version, is the twenty-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. It first aired in Japan on November 7, 2000 and in the United States on August 24, 2002.
The first Duel of the Duelist Kingdom finals between Mai Valentine and Yugi Muto begins. This time, Mai is playing without cheating. The Duel does not start off very well for Yugi, as Mai's "Mirror Wall" cuts all of Yugi's attacking monsters' ATK in half, making them easy pickings for Mai's powered-up "Harpie Lady". Mai's "Shadow of Eyes" prevents him from playing any of his monsters in Defense Position, and her "Harpie's Feather Duster" destroys two of Yugi's strongest Trap Cards, "Spellbinding Circle" and "Mirror Force". To make things worse, Yugi and Yami Yugi continue to internally clash for control of the Duel, as Yugi will not let Yami Yugi Duel, for fear that he might recklessly hurt someone as he almost did when Kaiba threatened to kill himself if Yugi won. With only 300 Life Points left, can Yugi get over his fear and make a come-from-behind victory, or will he be eliminated and lose his chance to save his grandfather and the Kaiba brothers?
Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Mai Valentine
This Duel uses Duelist Kingdom gameplay. Rules and card effects may differ from that of the TCG/OCG. See the individual card articles for more information. |
Turn 1: Mai
Mai draws. She then Normal Summons "Harpie Lady" (1300/1400) in Attack Position and Sets a card.
Turn 2: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws "Gaia The Fierce Knight" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2300/2100) in Attack Position. "Gaia" attacks "Harpie Lady", but Mai activates her face-down "Mirror Wall" to negate the attack and halve the ATK of "Gaia The Fierce Knight" ("Gaia The Fierce Knight": 2300 → 1150/2100).
Turn 3: Mai
Mai draws "Cyber Shield" and subsequently activates it, equipping it to "Harpie Lady" and increasing its ATK and DEF by 500 ("Harpie Lady": 1300 → 1800/1400 → 1900). "Harpie Lady" attacks and destroys "Gaia The Fierce Knight" (Yugi: 2000 → 1350 LP).
Turn 4: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws "Summoned Skull" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2500/1200) in Attack Position. "Summoned Skull" attacks "Harpie Lady", but Yugi forgot that "Mirror Wall" is a Continuous Trap Card. The effect of "Mirror Wall" then activates, which negates the attack ("Summoned Skull": 2500 → 1250/1200). Yugi Sets a card.
Turn 5: Mai
Mai draws. She then activates "Harpie's Feather Duster" to destroy Yugi's Set "Spellbinding Circle".
Turn 6: Yami Yugi
Yugi switches "Summoned Skull" to Defense Position and Normal Summons "Feral Imp" (1300/1400) in Defense Position.
Turn 7: Mai
Mai draws "Rose Whip" and subsequently activates it, equipping it to "Harpie Lady" and increasing its ATK and DEF by 300 ("Harpie Lady": 1800 → 2100/1900 → 2200). "Harpie Lady" attacks and destroys "Feral Imp".
Turn 8: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws. He then passes his turn.
Turn 9: Mai
Mai draws "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2000/2500) in Attack Position. Due to its effect, "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK and DEF for each "Harpie Lady" on the field, and there is currently one ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2000 → 2300/2500 → 2800). "Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks and destroys "Summoned Skull".
Turn 10: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws "Dark Magician" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2500/2100) in Defense Position. He then Sets a card.
Turn 11: Mai
Mai draws "Shadow of Eyes" and subsequently activates it. Now all male monsters that Yugi controls that are in Defense Position are switched to Attack Position. Any monsters that have been affected by this effect must attack the turn they have been switched to Attack Position. "Dark Magician" is switched to Attack Position and is forced to attack "Harpie Lady". The effect of "Mirror Wall" then activates, negating the attack ("Dark Magician": 2500 → 1250/2100). Mai then activates another "Harpie's Feather Duster" to destroy Yugi's Set "Mirror Force". "Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks and destroys "Dark Magician" (Yugi: 1350 → 300 LP).
Duel continues in the next episode.
Differences in adaptations
- The dub shows "Yugi" dueling poorly because he is distracted by keeping the spirit of the Puzzle in check. The Japanese version does not say this because it has never shown Yugi's and Atem's minds to be fused. Instead, Atem's spirit is the only one Dueling, but he is thinking about defeating Pegasus and not paying proper attention to Mai.
- Similarly, the dub includes Atem asking multiple times for Yugi to accept his help, with Yugi refusing. The Japanese version does not have this exchange.
- The artwork and appearance of "Harpie Lady" was edited so it was less revealing.
- The spikes on the breastplate of "Cyber Shield" are removed.
- When Yugi Summons his "Summoned Skull", in both the Japanese and US adaptations, "Summoned Skull's" DEF are 2300 and not 1200, as in the other episodes.
- In both versions, when Yugi draws "Summoned Skull", on the display of Mai's cards on the field you can see "Rose Whip" on it next to "Cyber Shield" when she hasn't played it yet.
- When "Rose Whip" is equipped, "Harpie Lady's" ATK gains the 300 points starting from 2100 instead of ending at it. The correct number is displayed afterwards.

While I wouldn't really grant myself the title of "photographer", I like to take pictures. Anytime, anywhere. My husband tells me that when he dies, at least everyone will know what he's been up to for.. oh... every moment of his life. It's a little joke between us. :) I'm happily married with my heaven sent baby boy, three beautiful step-daughters and 4 hilarious cats, my fur children. All of which are, mostly willing, participants in my photo-experiments.
Oh noes!

Chennai - Showers or long drizzle possible after 9pm due to this thunder cell not far from W-N-W of Chennai... http://ow.ly/i/2RAi
Gujarat, Rajasthan, Konkan not rained out yet
Gujarat, Konkan-Mumbai, and Rajasthan may not be rained out just yet even as the South interior peninsula appears to have entered a phase of relative calm.
The International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society at Columbia University saw the possibility of West and Northwest India being lashed by occasionally heavy to very heavy rains during the six days ending Friday.
The IRI has forecast 'extremely heavy rains' for Gujarat, Mumbai, West Madhya Pradesh and the adjoining Southeast Pakistan across the border during this period.
The causative 'rain-head' would sit smack over the border straddling Southeast Pakistan, adjoining extreme Northwest Gujarat and Southwest Rajasthan.
'Very heavy rains' have been forecast for the rest of Rajasthan and the adjoining Northeast Pakistan; the Konkan coast; Madhya Maharashtra; Marathwada; parts of Vidarbha; East Madhya Pradesh; Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
'Wetter than usual' conditions are likely to play out over entire Gujarat, Southwest Rajasthan and the Mumbai-Konkan coast, the IRI said based on initial conditions obtaining on Sunday.
The atmospheric systems now driving the rains over Central and Northwest India are a low-pressure area perched over North Madhya Pradesh, having shifted overnight from North Chhattisgarh, and an upper air cyclonic circulation persisting over Gujarat.
The 'low' is embedded into the larger trough of low pressure extending across Central India, which has been instrumental in having brought the entire region under a wet cover.
And, a rare but conclusive evidence of monsoon easterlies from the Bay of Bengal, having filled East India and flowing onward into the plains over Northwest India, was on sight at a time when the season is inching closer to half-way post.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) has hinted at the possibility of another 'low,' though comparatively weak, taking shape over Northwest Bay of Bengal over the next two days.
This was a possibility the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) had forecast as early as last week and retained in the latest forecasts made available on Monday.
But the ECMWF sees the system location of its birth further to the Southwest, along the Andhra Pradesh coast. It may trundle across the peninsula for sometime before becoming insignificant by the end of the month.
According to ECMWF, this would also signal a brief weakening of the monsoon flows as well.
Meanwhile, an IMD update said that the 24 hours that ended on Monday morning saw widespread rains unfold over Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Coastal Karnataka.
They were fairly widespread over Rajasthan, Orissa, West Bengal, Sikkim, the Northeastern States, North Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.
Satellite pictures on Monday showed the presence of convective (rain-bearing) clouds over parts of East Jammu and Kashmir; Himachal Pradesh; Uttarkhand; East Rajasthan; Gujarat; West Maharashtra; Madhya Pradesh; the North-eastern States; Karnataka; East and Southwest Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and North Andaman Sea.
A warning valid for the next two days said that heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur at a few places over Konkan, Goa and Gujarat.
Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur over West Madhya Pradesh, Madhya Maharashtra, coastal Karnataka and Rajasthan during this period.
Isolated heavy rainfall is likely over Jammu division, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarkhand.
An IMD outlook suggested the possibility of widespread rain or thundershowers over Gujarat and Konkan and Goa during the next two days before relenting.
Widespread rain or thundershowers is likely over West Madhya Pradesh, East Rajasthan, Madhya Maharashtra and Coastal Karnataka on Tuesday but may scale down in intensity thereafter.
Fairly widespread rain or thundershowers would occur over Kerala, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Western Himalayas and North-East India while it would be scattered over East India and remaining parts of the plains of North-West, Central and Peninsular India.
Extended forecast until Saturday said that fairly widespread rainfall would occur over Northeast India, along West Coast and over parts of North-West India.
IMD Report,
South West Monsoon

From registration and venue to supplies and prizes, there are many things to consider when building a successful event. Read our informational tips to help you host a hole-in-one golf event with personalized golf accessories.
A golf tournament of any size is an expensive event to host, so it is sensible to seek ask for help from sponsors. A sponsorship letter helps outline varying sponsorship requirements. Create tiered sponsorship packages to attract businesses and organizations of all sizes. In your letter, develop different price packages to suit businesses' various advertising budgets. Sponsors will appreciate an up-front proposal that details different advertising opportunities. For example, you can allow businesses to set up their banners across at different holes. Or provide opportunities for businesses to interact with participants by, allowing them to set up a refreshment booths where they can promote their business and interact directly with participants.
Keep an eye out for new establishments in your area. These businesses need exposure, so they might be more invested in sponsoring your event. Advertising space at local events helps spread the word and motivates new clientele.
Product Style # 6489-GTP10T
You might be hosting a golf tournament to garner attention for a cause, to raise money or just for fun. No matter the motive, you want people to remember your organization afterwards. One inexpensive way to incorporate your corporate message is by providing personalized golf gifts like tees, golf balls and golf towels with your logo. Incorporating gifts, giveaways and prizes adds excitement to your event — reminding golfers that you think of every last detail. Create memorable mementos with high-end prizes from brand name golf retailers they recognize. Hold mini competitions like the longest drive, closest to the pin, longest putt and straightest drive. Greg Norman Promotional Apparel, Golf Tool Swiss Army Knife - 4 1/8" & Callaway Promotional Products make excellent prizes.
Having a concession stand at your event has multiple benefits. Golf tournaments can be long, and many occur over multiple days. This means one thing: people are going to get restless and hungry. A refreshing concession stand will be convenient for those who want a quick bite or drink. Better yet, this will be profitable to your organization. If you have food available, it isn't likely that members of the crowd will leave the tournament to eat anywhere else. If you're fundraising for a cause, concessions can rake in a great chunk of change!

Dairy Milk firm Cadbury set out its case for independence today as it urged shareholders not to let US giant Kraft "steal your company".
The chocolate company's latest response to Kraft was contained in a new defence document setting out details of Cadbury's "outstanding" trading in 2009 and forecasting sales growth of up to 7 per cent this year.
Shareholders have until 2 February to accept Kraft's takeover offer, which values the the UK firm at around £10.5 billion.
Cadbury chairman Roger Carr said Kraft's proposal was "even more unattractive" than it was when it made its formal offer in December.
He added: "Our 2009 performance is ahead of our previously upgraded expectations and we have excellent momentum going into 2010."
Mr Carr added that Kraft's offer price was significantly below comparable transactions in the sector and said the shares element of the proposal exposed shareholders to the US firm's "low growth" business model.
"Don't let Kraft steal your company with its derisory offer," he told shareholders.
Cadbury's last defence document saw it raise long-term performance targets and issue higher profit margins guidance.
Chief executive Todd Stitzer said today that the company's value as a stand-alone company had been boosted by its performance over the second half of the year, with revenues up 6 per cent in the period and by 5 per cent over the whole of 2009.
He said: "Our performance in 2009 was outstanding. We generated good revenue growth despite the weakest economic conditions in 80 years."
The company added that it expected growth of 10% in its full-year dividend payment to shareholders.
Looking ahead, Mr Stitzer said the company was targeting revenue growth of between 5 per cent and 7 per cent in 2010, driven by new products and marketing investment.
Kraft has until next Tuesday to decide whether to raise its bid - currently at 763p a share - with an offer of more than 800p thought to have more of a chance of enticing Cadbury shareholders.
But the Dairylea and Toblerone firm would need the support of Warren Buffett, whose Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway investment vehicle owns almost 10 per cent of Kraft, to up its offer.
Mr Buffett has already warned Kraft not to overpay for Cadbury and last week said shareholders should not be asked to write a "blank cheque" by issuing 370 million new Kraft shares to finance the bid.

Gregg Easterbrook lambasts the Colts in this week's Tuesday Morning Quarterback. He points out that the Patriots made Peyton Manning constantly audible into anti-blitz plays even though the Pats were never blitzing anyway. He castigates Tony Dungy for punting on 4th-and-1 on the Patriots 49-yard line (I agree). He points out that the Colts played in a two tight end set and then never ran the ball. He does, however, feel the officials missed a few holding calls on the Patriots offensive line. Speaking of other games, TMQ celebrates the Atlanta offensive line, feels the Eagles are too pass-wacky, and points out that when one linebacker rushes the passer in Pittsburgh's 3-4 defense, this is not actually a blitz.

Given the historical success of undrafted quarterbacks in the NFL, Tony Romo might as well be a national treasure. We look at the impact of developmental leagues on undrafted quarterbacks, and just how many players have tried to break through in a recent season.

DIY Tutorial from A Catch My Party Member - How to Make a Rainbow Wreath
Rainbow themed parties are some of my favorites because of all the decor possibilities. When Wendy B threw her daughter this Rainbow Party, she added so many great touches, including this gorgeous rainbow wreath.
Wendy put together this tutorial on her blog, Ramblings From the Sunshine State, on how she made it, and has kindly let me repost it. So take a look at how amazingly easy this is to make...
- $1 wreath form from the Dollar Tree
- Batting
- Tacky glue
- Baby yarn
- Felt
- Glue gun
- Baker's twine
This is what she ended up with.
Next she used this super soft baby yarn. It has 86 yards & was less than $3. She knew this would cover it & wasn't looking to spend much on this.
After wrapping the entire wreath in yarn, she had this, so soft & fluffy. It looks almost like a cloud!To make the flowers, Wendy cut a spiral in the felt & rolled it up then used a little hot glue to secure them together.
She wanted to add some rainbow bunting to the wreath so she cut triangles in the felt, glued them together...
...And strung them on a piece of baker's twine.
How absolutely adorable, Wendy!! Thank you for the tutorial!
Please check out Wendy's other incredible parties on our main site. She definitely know how to throw an amazing party. And to learn more about Wendy, take a look at her blog Ramblings From the Sunshine State.
