The Plural Of Vinyl Is Vinyl
"You have to undo the zipper," June helpfully told Olivia. Olivia's first instinct was to glare back daggers at the younger girl, but she managed to swallow the urge.
"Oh, I see," she answered, undoing the zipper and adding an extra foot of sleeping space. "Very helpful. Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" June answered brightly. "Do you want to braid my hair?"
Olivia did not, but wasn't exactly sure how to say that politely. So she didn't. And June went to get a brush.
Olivia stretched out on the Big Dipper Sleeping Bag and closed her eyes, trying to figure out where her life had gone so wrong. Maybe it was the idea that she could learn something from her father. The older boy she liked in school (she couldn't even whisper his name in her mind, in case he might read her thoughts and know) had said something about vinyl, about how he went to buy vinyl with his older brother who was in 11th Grade. Olivia didn't know what that meant and she had to, she had to know, she had to know so the boy (whose name she would not even think about) couldn't surprise her with something she hadn't yet mastered.
And that was why she made the mistake, and asked her father about vinyl.
And now, here she was, about to fall asleep on a Big Dipper Sleeping Bag in a stranger's room because her father was downstairs playing terrible records with a guy who used to be his best friend in college.
"WOOOSHHHH!" June ran into the room and slid across the two-layer off-set quilt construction. "Hey, do you want to make a slide?"
"No, thank you," said Olivia, as politely as she could. At least her sleeping bag would be comfortable.
From downstairs came a few terrible electronic squawks and the laughter of two grown men regressing. June wrinkled up her face.
"My dad plays the worst music. It's all old stuff and from Germany. Do you mind if we close the door and put on some Lady Gaga?"
Olivia smiled, the first real smile of the night. "I think I like you now, June."
June smiled back. "I like you too, Olivia."

Facts on Provence, France
The ochre cliffs of Roussillon are part of the painting-like image of Provence that beckons visitors. They inspired the master artists of France, including Monet and Renoir. History, too, is everywhere, as in the medieval village of Les Baux de Provence, with its castle ruins, Chateau des Baux de Provence, and museum, Cathedrale d'Images. Provence offers visitors a key to adventure.
Postcard Places
Provence is at the heart of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur (PACA) region of France. Marseilles is the regional capital and the country's principal port. Nice, Toulon and Avignon are other regional cities. Among the villages of Provence is L'Isle sur la Sorgue, with its cobbled streets and outdoor cafes, a Provencal market on Thursdays and France's largest Sunday antiques flea market outside Paris.
Although most inhabitants speak French, Provencal is the traditional language of this Mediterranean region. It is similar to Catalan or Spanish. A writers' group called Felibrige that included the 1904 Nobel Prize winner, Frederic Mistral, revitalized the language, compiling a dictionary and reference book that remains in use. Many street names and signs are in both French and Provencal.
Roman Times
During the second century, "Gallia Narbonensis" was the Roman province that stretched from the south of France to the Alps. Its proximity to Rome led to the common name "Provincia," which is today's Provence. The Roman capital was Aquae Sextiae, which is now Aix-en-Provence, while the founding city, Massilia, rich in crops like olives and grapes and subsequently wine, is modern-day Marseilles. Most of the area became part of France in 1486.
Provence's Roman heritage is apparent in the form of architectural legacies. Rome's Colosseum was the model for construction of the Arena that still stands in Nimes (once the Roman town called Nemausus for the god of that name). Archaeologists estimate its date of construction to be around the first century. The Arena was the site of traditional Roman games, such as animal hunts and gladiatorial combats. Another feat of Roman architectural and engineering construction is the Pont du Gard. This three-level bridge enables the aqueduct of Nimes to cross the Gard River. UNESCO named the Pont du Gard a World Heritage Site in 1985.
Fish is central to Provencal cuisine, as is the use of herbs (namely thyme, basil, rosemary, oregano and fennel) and vegetables, particularly aubergines, all cooked in olive oil, Mediterranean style. Among the classic Provencal favorites are bouillabaisse Marseillaise (Mediterranean fish soup), ratatouille (chopped and stewed tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, zucchini and aubergines); and lapin Provencal (rabbit stew).
The beautiful Provencal countryside inspired the French artist Paul Cezanne (1839 to 1906) who was a native of Aix-en-Provence. His work includes landscapes, portraits and still lifes, which earned him the title "The Master of Aix."

Jagdishpur-Haldia pipeline is very crucial to revive the fertilizer units located along it. The defunct fertilizer units on this pipeline route are located at Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Barauni, Sindri, Durgapur and Haldia. These fertiliser units were using naphtha as feedstock. Naphtha being the costly feedstock, government had to pay much more subsidy for urea production. Therefore Government has restricted the use of naphtha beyond year 2013.
Fertilizer units located along Jagdishput-Haldia pipeline are owned by as follows:-
1. Kanpur Fertilizers and Cement Limited (KFCL) unit located at Kanpur.
2. Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited (FCIL) units located at Gorakhpur and Sindri.
3. Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Limited (HFCL) units located at Barauni, Durgapur and Haldia.
In a Committee of Secretaries (CoS) meeting, the Cabinet Secretary has taken a decision to complete this Jagdishput-Haldia pipeline as early as possible. Revival of these fertilizer plants is being looked at are encouraging signs that the government is actively looking at reducing its import and subsidy burden.
The current year has a budgetary provision of a whopping Rs 21,000 crore for urea import.
Stay tuned to Fertilizer News for more news on Jagdishput-Haldia pipeline !

Universal health care
Here is my column for Tuesday, in which I ask why we don't want our employers to manage our food, housing and transportation purchases, but we think it is a good idea for them to decide how we get our health care. I also suggest that this relationship is a major reason we are more insecure about our next doctor visit than our next meal.
Education, politics, and anything else that catches my attention.

The False Lure of Socialism
6 comments:
Sounds good to me. Health care insurance from employers was a WWII expedient, and there's no need to be stuck with it forever. But what should replace it? I can't tell from the post if either Dan or Darren has an opinion.
- Darren said...
Take the money companies are spending managing health care and pay it to the employees. Let them purchase their own coverage (or not) on the open market.

"...Let them purchase their own coverage (or not) on the open market"
Not so simple if the insurance companies can decline you for insurance at ANY cost for ANY reason.
I speak as someone who's dealing with having to pay $9100/yr for a very high deductable ($4800/yr) policy. If you're at the unfortunate age between 50-65 before you can qualify for govt MediCare, the InsCo's know you're likely to be a higher risk client.
They can't legally decline you coverage for AIDS but if you list "High Cholesterol" you are at very real risk of being declined. Even if you ARE accepted, you become a captive customer at one insurance company because as you get older, you won't be accepted anywhere else.
The bottom line goal of the InsCo's is to force older, high risk clients to quit being covered before they get sick enough to cause a pay out for anything major.
The real solution is to find a way to eliminate the link between "Insurance" and "Health Care" if that's remotely at all possible.
I don't know who can afford to go "naked", insurance wise, when something like a cancer treatments or heart bypass can cost several hundred thousand a throw?
While I'm not a fan of gov't run Universal Health Care, it will probably be the only option left after the private InsCo's get to a point that they decline all new clients over 40 yr's of age. - 10:46 AM

I've got a REALLY bad idea, let's put health care in the hands of the government.
Take a look at how that is working out for our neighbors to the north:

At the very least, Congress should either remove the tax break on employer provided health care coverage or make it available to everyone. There's NO rational reason to tie health care to employment.
Hopefully, the Democrats won't be able to continually kill bills for health care savings accounts that are sheltered from taxes. - 11:22 AM

Under fire over a spate of racial attacks targeting Indian students, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd today announced that a high-level delegation will travel to India later this week to deliver assurances that this country is a safe destination for pursuing studies.
"It is important to extend Australian hospitality to international students," Rudd said in a joint statement with Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Julia Gillard, while announcing the July 5 to 15 trip of the delegation comprising senior police and other officials from federal and state governments.
The delegation, which will first visit New Delhi after it reaches there on Sunday, "will also travel to major Indian cities to meet with state governments and others to hear about their concerns and reassure them that Australia is a safe destination for Indian students," Rudd said.
The delegation led by Colin Walters, First Assistant Secretary from the Australian Department of Education, will visit eight Indian cities -- Delhi, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore -- during the visit.
The delegation included representatives of Australia's international education and training sector and federal and state government agencies, including from the State Police of Victoria, which has witnessed most of the recent attacks against Indians.

The 54th Massachusetts Regiment is Honored in "Tell It with Pride" Exhibition to Mark the 150th Anniversary Year of the Battle of Fort Wagner, National Gallery of Art, September 15, 2013–January 20, 2014
Carl J. Cruz, a great-great-grandnephew of Sergeant William H. Carney of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first African American regiment formed in the North during the Civil War, holds the Medal of Honor awarded to Carney for his bravery in the Battle of Fort Wagner, SC, on July 18, 1863. The Medal of Honor, the first awarded to an African American, will be included in the exhibition "Tell It with Pride," at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, September 15, 2013–January 20, 2014 and at the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, February 23–May 26, 2014.

Washington, DC—Continuing its year-long celebration of African American history, art, music, and culture, the National Gallery of Art announces a major exhibition honoring one of the first regiments of African Americans formed during the Civil War. Tell It with Pride: The 54th Massachusetts Regiment and Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Shaw Memorial will be on view in the American galleries on the West Building's Main Floor from September 15, 2013, through January 20, 2014. The 54th Massachusetts fought in the Battle of Fort Wagner, South Carolina, on July 18, 1863, an event that has been documented and retold in many forms, including the popular movie Glory, released in 1989.
"Then, as today, the soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment captured the imagination: they were common men propelled by deep moral principles, willing to sacrifice everything for a nation that had taken much from them but now promised liberty," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. "This exhibition celebrates the brave members of the 54th, Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Shaw Memorial commemorating their heroism, and the works of art they and the monument continue to inspire."
The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Following its debut at the Gallery, it will travel to the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, February 21 – May 23, 2014.
The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of GRoW, an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation.
Additional support is provided by the Trellis Fund.
The magisterial Shaw Memorial (1900) by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907), on long-term loan to the Gallery from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Park Service, and the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, is considered by many to be one of the finest examples of 19th-century American sculpture. This monument commemorates the July 18, 1863, storming of Fort Wagner by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts, a troop of African American soldiers led by white officers that was formed immediately after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Although one-third of the regiment was killed or wounded in the assault, including Shaw himself, the fierce battle was considered by many to be a turning point in the war: it proved that African Americans could be exemplary soldiers, with a bravery and dedication to country that equaled the nation's most celebrated heroes.
Part of the exhibition's title, "Tell It with Pride," is taken from an anonymous letter written to the Shaw family announcing the death of Robert Gould Shaw. The letter is included in the exhibition and the catalogue accompanying the show.
When Saint-Gaudens created the figures in the memorial, he based his depiction of Shaw on photographs of the colonel, but he hired African American models, not members of the 54th Massachusetts, to pose for the other soldiers. This exhibition seeks to make real the anonymous African American soldiers of the 54th, giving them names and faces where possible. The first section of the exhibition shows vintage photographic portraits of the soldiers, the people who recruited them—including the noted abolitionists Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Charles Lenox Remond, and Sojourner Truth—and the women who nursed, taught, and guided them, such as Clara Barton, Charlotte Forten, and Harriet Tubman. In addition, the exhibition presents a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, a recruiting poster, a letter written by a soldier, Corporal James Henry Gooding, to President Lincoln arguing for equal pay, and the Medal of Honor awarded to the first African American to earn this distinction, Sergeant William H. Carney, as well as other documents related to both the 54th Massachusetts and the Battle of Fort Wagner. Together, these works of art and documents detail critical events in American history and highlight both the sacrifices and the valor of the individual soldiers.
The second half of the exhibition looks at the continuing legacy of the 54th Massachusetts, the Battle of Fort Wagner, and the Shaw Memorial. By presenting some of the plaster heads Saint-Gaudens made in preparation for his work on the Shaw Memorial, the exhibition discusses its development from 1883, when Saint Gaudens' concept began to take shape, through the installation of the bronze monument on Boston Common in 1897, to the artist's final re-working in the late 1890s of the original plaster now on view at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibition concludes by showing how the Shaw Memorial remains a deeply compelling work that continues to inspire artists as diverse as Lewis Hine, Richard Benson, Carrie Mae Weems, and William Earle Williams, who have reflected on these people, the event, and the monument itself in their own art.
Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head of the department of photographs, and Nancy Anderson, curator and head of American and British paintings, are the curators of the exhibition, which is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue and a printed brochure. The catalogue includes essays by Greenough and Anderson, along with Lindsay Harris and Renée Ater; Richard J. Powell wrote the preface.
An online feature about the memorial is available at www.nga.gov/feature/shaw/home.shtm.
Two films will be presented in the Gallery's East Building Large Auditorium in conjunction with the exhibition, as listed below. Admission is free of charge; first-come, first seated.

Fifth-year midfielder/forward Michael Rose is interning for the Monogram Club this fall, and will be sharing his perspective from the road as the Notre Dame men's soccer team makes its annual run through the NCAA post-season. Here's an excerpt from his first entry, "The Rose Report."
Soccer is a funny game. It can be cruel, and unfair but that may be what makes the high points full of ecstasy. Playing at Marquette, in Milwaukee seems to be full of the former emotion for us though. After beating Marquette on Oct. 24, 3-1, at Alumni Stadium in a dominating performance against a team that was ranked in the top five in almost every major soccer poll in the country, we were confident that we could replicate the same performance in Milwaukee.
Even though the winner of our game would be given a share of the Big East title (three-way tie between the winner of our game, Georgetown and UConn), it seemed to be business as usual for us. On Friday, Oct. 26, we hit the road after training, and got to our hotel in Brookfield, Wisconsin–the hometown of one of our freshmen midfielders, Pat Hodan. Per usual, Saturday morning began earlier than most college kids would agree with — at an 8:30 a.m. breakfast. At this point, all of us are convinced that Boss [head coach Bobby Clark] has already been up for four hours working out and practicing his fake Scottish accent (kidding, it's real).
From there it's a walk through at Marquette's field, and a light dynamic stretch on their practice field. Next on our game day agenda is our pre-game talk. Being here for five years, I can tell you that the pre-game talks haven't varied much at all, because the way we play defensively isn't rocket science. It just takes a collective mentality, awareness and an understanding of a few simple concepts. Offensively, we have some of the most dynamic, creative players in the country, which is a huge asset. We have offensive wizards like Harry Shipp, Dillon Powers, and a forward with the most proven goal scoring record in the country–Ryan Finley. The rest of the day is spent at lunch and "getting our feet up" (Scottish for napping).

Hello everyone and sorry for my bad English.
some time ago I bought the "JFET Boz" of JimsAudio that I would like to build. i have a transformer with double secondary (0-15V and 0-24v). the 0-15v does go already the diamond buffer headamp of Sijosae. now the question: the JFET Boz of JimsAudio can work with a voltage of 24V AC , if I am not mistaken, after the rectification bridge and filter capacitors will be 32-33v DC ? Thanks in advance for any help. rob

It depends of the bridge rectifier loss and your resistance value in your CRC PSU filter, but yes about 32V

Jims Audio PCB
I have got the PCB from Jims Audio, too. I just want to buy the necessary parts. In the part list of Jim is D6 not required. Therefore I just need a piece of wire, or?
On the photo at the website is just one Zener diode and not 4 as required in the part list or at the PCB! Has anyone assembled this PCB and can help? Has anyone experience with this PCB and how is the quality of the power supply? Last edited by Tolu; 12th October 2012 at 07:00 AM. |

Depends of the IDSS of the K170, with high V types you can use 30V of supply

Hio Ramallo,
normally, I will need the 4 Zener diodes! I think it's a little bit like gambling if the 16V fit to the Idss of the 2SK170. Would be nice to have a Idss -> V - table to see what's the best voltage for the specific jfet if you have no oscilloscope. |

Nice idea with the little TL431 PCB! Does it work as you planned? I'm considering to use 2 lead batteries for a phono pre so there would be enough power to drive the jfet boz and a DAC. @tinitus: the chinese are copying anything. Not innovative but cheap. |

As the outcome of MCI's summit on 12th September 2011,the Medical council of India(MCI) finally decided to start common entrance test (CET) which will be called as National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Post Graduates (NEET-PG) and Under Graduates (NEET-UG) for undergraduate and post-graduate medical students from next year.
All the states in the country gave its approval for CET(NEET) from 2012 except Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Bengal according to the sources from MCI.Also the issues with the states disapproving the NEET proposal will be solved soon, officials said.
According to a senior official of the MCI "States like Gujarat and Bengal had issues with the language of the paper, as we had originally planned to start the exam in English and Hindi only. But this issue can be taken care of and we will soon get in touch with the CBSE on this point."
Sources disclosed that NEET- UG will be conducted by the CBSE and AIIMS might be conducting NEET-PG.
According to Dr Purushottam Lal, who is a board member of the MCI, "Queries related to the reservation policy and seats for private colleges were answered well during the discussion today. The states have been conducting the exam in their regional languages. So they were concerned, but these are petty things and will be sorted out."
Tamil Nadu is still opposing the idea of CET for medical colleges.Tamil Nadu has maximum number of medical colleges.Also former C.M K. Karunanidhi had also written to the Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad that he was "astonished" by the notification, when the idea was proposed last year.
The Tamil Nadu government later got it stayed from the Madras High court.
Dr Lal, however, said that situation is different now. "We are going by the orders of the Supreme Court, so all the states must have to come to a consensus."

Reviews for Tiramisu Brownies
"I made half a recipe and followed the instructions from the previous reviewer. The top batter is extremely hard to spread out, but I eventually got the filling somewhat covered. They still cooked up nice. I think they taste better once they have been chilled. Not as rich as I was expecting, but very good!"
"I made these for a coworkers birthday. They are really rich. I used a combination of instant coffee and expresso powder, which really brings out the chocolate flavor. I cut down the recipe to make only half. Which half really works out well and fits an 8 by 8 inch pan perfectly. If cutting the recipe in half for the chocolate batter only place 1 1/2 cups on the bottom then spread the Mascarpone cheese on top and add the remaining chocolate on the top. It still takes 45 minutes to bake."
"I made this recipe (for the first time) using cream cheese instead of Mascarpone. It turned out divine! NO COMPLAINTS here! I guess I am blessed! Today, I am baking it for the second time, and using cream cheese (16 oz) again. *I would like to add, for the woman who complained the filling did not puff up, I have found that if I do not beat cream cheese filling enough, even in other recipes, it is a little heavy and not puffy like I want. Hope this helps."
"I read all the reviews for this recipe before I attempted it... so you'd think I would have learned. I still had the same issues with the mascarpone filling being too runny to spread the brownie batter over top. This puffed up well over the top of my 9x13 pan, and the top is more than done while the bottom is still obviously not done in the middle. The layers by themselves tasted good prior to baking, and I am looking forward to tasting it once it cools. I think this particular recipe needs to be sent back to the TOH test kitchen for some revision. :)"
"Due to the comments here, we have reviewed this recipe again. Instead of pouring 4 cups of the chocolate batter into the pan, just pour half of it (about 2-1/2 cups). Then spread with the filling and top with the remaining batter.
We apologize for the error and any inconvenience.Taste of Home Test Kitchen""I wish I had read these reviews before investing in the ingredients. As others have noted, it is impossible to spread the top layer of brownie batter over the cheese filling. It's a very light textured bar and I'm hoping that when it cools in the fridge it will easily cut into squares, but I think I'm going to serve it with a flavorful ice cream on the side as the flavor is very bland. Big disappointment."
"I was not too happy that the filling did NOT puff up as it looks in this picture. It looks so spongy, but it definately did not turn out like this when I made them. I cut the recipe in half and used a smaller pan, but it should still cook the same. I cooked this well over the time suggested and it still did not really cook in the middle. I was really looking forward to the Tiramisu quality since the ingredients are high quality/. They taste ok, but not what I expected at all!"
"The batter was impossible to spread over the filling. They were still very soggy after I baked them for well over the time that they needed to be!"
"I loved this!!! It is for people who love coffee. Do half the batter then the cheese and the other half of the batter. I did not add the tsp. of baking cocoa. My inlaws even liked them. Yumm."
"on the chocolate batter i was thinging of making a batch in a half.this way you could still have 4 cups for the bottom and have alot more for the top.or find somthing to put the chocolate batter in and spresd it over the top like they use to put frosting on a cake like a tube or something similar. please reply and let me know what you think.

The Vandals finished the season at 3-9 while the tough-at-home Warriors balanced their record at 5-5 to keep their bowl hopes alive.
After yielding a field goal to the Warriors on their first possession, the Vandals drove to the Hawaii 20 where, faced with a fourth down situation, coach Nick Holt sent in kicker Mike Barrow who set up for an apparent 27-yard field goal attempt. However, holder Michael Harrington rolled out and hit Willie Sipoloa with an 11-yard pass for a first down to keep the drive alive. Harrington capped the drive by hitting Bobbie Bernal-Wood on an 8-yard TD pass. Barrow's kick made it 7-3 Vandals.
The lead didn't last long. Chang moved the Warriors 72 yard in only 3 plays taking only 50 seconds scoring on a 27-yard pass play to regain the lead.
The Vandals clawed back to recapture the lead moving 84 yards in 2 plays aided by a personal foul penalty when Brian Yarno was hit out of bounds. This time the Vandals pulled off a double pass with Harrington firing a lateral to true freshman receiver Desmond Belton who pulled up and lofted a perfect 26-yard scoring pass to fellow true freshman Christan Populis which, coupled with Barrow's kick, made it 14-10 Vandals with 5:08 remaining in the first period.
After trading turnovers with the Vandals, Hawaii again regained the lead seconds into the second period on 22-yard pass play and later increased their lead to 10 on a 16-yard Chang TD pass followed three minutes later by a 13-yard TD pass to lead 31-14.
Idaho answered back when the Vandals, sparked by Rollie Lumbala's 48 rushing yards on just 4 carries, moved 80 yards in 8 plays including a 14-yard TD pass from Harrington to Bernal-Woods to cut the deficit to 31-21, but that would the closest the Vandals would come as Chang continued to display his passing skills eventually completing 23 of 31 passes for 376 yards and 6 TD before exiting the game in the fourth quarter. The Vandals picked off two of his passes.
Vandal coach Nick Holt praised Chang. "He's a great player," Holt said. Holt said the Vandals' offensive game plan worked well but they couldn't sustain things in the second half. "In the first half," Holt said, "we moved the ball. We had a good plan. The second half we didn't get anything going. They started blitzing us and we didn't pick it up very well."
One highlight for Idaho was delivered by Bobby Bernal-Woods who caught 9 more passes for 139 yards and 2 TDs. This game gave Bobby 96 catches for the season, erasing a Vandal record that had stood for 35 years: 95 receptions by All-American Jerry Hendren (who went on to play 4 years for the Denver Broncos) in 1969. Harrington was also close to a UI single-season record finishing the season with a completion percentage of 65.8% second only to Rick Sloan's 68.1% in 1985. J.R. Ruffin likewise came close to eclipsing a Vandal record by returning 35 kickoffs good for second place on the all-time UI list behind Cedric Thompson who returned 36 in 2002.
Individual leaders for the Vandals included Lumbala who netted 90 yards in 12 carries in relief of Sipoloa who carried 12 times for 44 yards in addition to catching 5 passes for 47 yards and a TD. Defensively junior Cole Snyder turned in another tremendous effort at linebacker finishing with 9 solo tackles, 2 assists, and a sack.

The Motley Fool's Weekly Editors' Picks
Fools were out and about this past week in an investing world jam-packed with actions and ideas. Here are three articles you might find useful as you decide how to invest your money.
Who Says the Facebook IPO Wasn't a Smashing Success?
The beauty of a company's initial public offering is in the eye of the beholder. Fool analyst Travis Hoium takes a multifaceted look at the first several days of public trading of Facebook (NAS: FB) shares.
"When an IPO declines soon after reaching market, the media likes to call it a failure or a flop -- but that's true only for the investors who bought shares at the IPO price or early in trading," wrote Travis. "Maybe what we should be doing is cheering the IPO for taking money out of the pockets of hedge funds, institutional investors, and other preferred Morgan Stanley [ (NYS: MS) ] clients and giving it to Facebook."
Travis also explains an IPO situation from an underwriter's perspective. "What an underwriter like Morgan Stanley normally wants to do is price an IPO just low enough that demand will push the stock higher on the opening hours and days of trading. It wants to do this to make a quick buck for investors who participated in the IPO (usually hedge funds and institutional investors, not you and me) and make it look good for the media."
If you've been riding the roller coaster of Facebook news, make time to read this article for some much-needed perspective. And check out this free Motley Fool report advising investors to "Forget Facebook -- Here's the Tech IPO You Should Be Buying."
Is Natural Gas Back?
Natural gas prices have been rebounding and shares of the United States Natural Gas ETF (ASE: UNG) -- an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of natural gas -- are up nearly 30% over the past month. Fool analyst Dan Caplinger helps readers think about what the upward changes mean for investors in the sector and those who've been contemplating dipping their toes in the water. It's about more than just price.
For instance, one of the things driving the natural gas recovery has been electric utilities switching from coal to gas, notes Dan -- however, coal prices have fallen and the natural gas edge won't continue forever. Investors also need to take into account natural gas news from overseas. "Even if foreign supplies surge, they'll largely act only to reduce some of the discrepancies between prices in the U.S. and abroad," wrote Dan. "North American production will be the primary driver of local gas prices."

2 Dividend Stocks on Our Radar
Home Depot (NYS: HD) and American Water Works (NYS: AWK) have made their way onto the stocks-to-watch lists of Fools Ron Gross and James Early. Ron notes that Home Depot stock took a hit after reporting earnings, but says the company is doing well and is a play on the economic and housing recoveries. Home Depot yields 2.4%. Ron's willing to keep an eye on the stock even though he says he's not that handy and "actually [doesn't] enjoy the shopping experience at Home Depot."
James brings American Water Works, which provides water and wastewater services to 15 million people in more than 30 states and parts of Canada, to investors' attention. "If we start to see a more favorable regulatory climate for utilities, this is a stock that could really rocket up," James said. A more favorable climate would allow American Water Works to raise rates more. The stock yields 3%.

Quito Geocaching and Mitad del Mundo
Today was drizzly and cool. It didn't matter. John and Arnold, two friends from Peru had arrived in the pouring rain on a Lan Peru flight from Lima at 2:45 a.m. That's right, a.m.! I didn't even think the airport would be open, much less the skies clear enough to make the approach. I picked them up, got Arnold to a friend's house and took John to our house and crashed again. At 10 a.m. we met up with Brett and Arnold in the park. Our goal for the day was from John (low_rider73) to find as many caches as he could. Arnold was learning what this crazy sport is all about. We had a great time visiting, catching up on each other's work and mutual friends. In the course of the morning and early afternoon we found a number of caches. We've had a lot of rain lately so we found ourselves doing some maintenance on a number of the caches. We were caching in the clouds most of the morning. After a quick lunch at Corral, a great Colombian hamburger place, we were off to Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the Earth). It sounds like we live in Tolkien's middle earth. We drove the approximate 5 miles north of Quito to the tourist site where French scientist in the 1800's marked the equatorial line. Today there is a nice large monument with the equator line marked on the ground. Then there are the many artisan shops that surround a beautiful colonial town square. John and Arnold had the traditional photo on the equator line. GPS technology has helped clarify where the real equatorial line is located. It is about 300 meters further to the north from the line you see today. The Fake Equator, GC934A, is the oldest geocache in Ecuador. It is a virtual requiring you to find the actual equatorial line by getting to 00.00, take a picture of your GPS and send it in. To do this you end up off the property of the Mitad del Mundo tourist site. You do pay a couple of dollars to get into the tourist site but the real equatorial line is free, just watch out for the big trucks passing by. Man I wish that virtuals were allowed on www.geocaching.com.

Downtown Buenos Aires Parque San Martin cache
We flew on a COPA flight from Quito to Panama and then all day to Buenos Aires, arriving at 10 p.m. local time, three hours difference from Quito time. We took a remis (a type of taxi) from the airport and were at the HoJo Hotel on La Florida Street by 11:15 p.m. La Florida is the walking zone for tourist. We checked in, dropped our bags and headed out to find the only cache we were able to get on this trip: Libertador General San Martin Square GC 1K5M4). We selected our hotel with this geocache in mind. We were just across the street. At just before midnight the streets and park in this area are always well illuminated. This is tourism central. Although the cache is not recommended for night, we had no other choice as our remis was to pick us up just at sun-up. We tracked out into the park and found that we had some signal bounce. With the clue we were able to track right to it as we back tracked. Right to the cache just as the clue indicated. We sat on the park bench and signed the log in the light of a fancy park street lamp. Just then up drove park maintenance. He parked right in view range of us and just sat there. We waited, ate some snacks, waited.... Finally we decided that we'd have to take the micro home with us and return it before sun up. Maybe this guy would go somewhere by then. I woke up a couple of hours later thinking of going after another cache five blocks away but found that it had just the evening before been archived after being muggled. I went out and to my surprise found almost every park bench in the San Martin park occupied by restless sleeping homeless people. Most had blankets and some were saw logs. Right where I needed to be, on the bench where we signed the log the night before, slept a man who, as expected, just couldn't get comfortable. He tossed and turned as I walked by. I went up the sidewalk and waited, obvious to some of the other semi-sleepers. Finally after the fellow was still a while I crept in with the large tree between the homeless fellow and I. I reached around and deposited the cache in its place and go out of there. I don't think anyone saw me. This is a nice park by day but maybe the cache owner is right to say its not for night caching. Here are a few shots of the park at night and La Florida street where several tourist hotels are. I wish I had more time to go after four more new caches here but have to fly.

A time to cache and a time to archive

Christmas Cache Stash
My wife is really on target. Living in South America there aren't too many geocaching-related gifts to give a guy or gal that is into the game. That didn't stop her. On Christmas morning she came through with two great little gifts. One was a head light that can be useful for those night cache hunts and in particular for camping and night climbing. It's not unusual to leave camp and start climbing the first leg of a climb in the dark. The lamp will be very helpful. The second gift was really neat. I got a large Christmas gift wrapped in typical Christmas paper. I opened it to find that sumajhuarmi had packed a large box full of tupperware containers, medicine bottles from pharmacies here in Ecuador, magnets, swag, logbooks and the like. What a great idea. Sounds simple and wasn't very expensive but it is one of my favorite gifts this Christmas! The next day I put some of this gear to use. Jonathan expressed interest in geocaching so I took him out on a jaunt through Metropolitan Park overlooking Quito. Our mission was to replace a muggled cache, place a new travel bug hotel and drop a large number of TBs I'd brought back from the US. It was a great day and Jonathan enjoyed geocaching. He found several caches along the way. One of his favorites was Hanger (GC19AQY). From there you get a panoramic view of Quito and the Quito airport.

New Year Resolution: Going for a 1:10 ration of found-hidden caches
The New Year brings lots of resolutions. I think it is the same with geocachers too. We set milestone goals, new goals for states, provinces or countries where we wish to cache in the coming year and more. For me, my resolution is to work towards a 1:10 ration between my geocache finds and geocache hides. Maybe if I lived in a cache-rich environment I wouldn't pursue this but here in Ecuador, and Latin America in general, there aren't that many caches. I do enjoy finding caches more than hiding them. But since we don't have many here, I've found a lot of joy in placing geocaches for others to look for. Sure, I wish more geocachers living in Ecuador would hide more caches. If they won't then I will. Right now I'm behind in my goal of achieving a 1:10 ratio. I'm committed to working on that. If we all did something like this we'd create a cache-rich environment. Today sumajhuarmi and I went out and contribute a little towards this goal. We drove out of Quito to the east into the Valley de los Chillos. We passed through Cumbaya and Tumbaco, bedroom communities for the capitol city. Up we climb from sunshine into the clouds to hide a cache on the continental divide (also the provincial border between Pichincha and Napo). When we arrived at the GC we were in the clouds with wind and drizzle. We parked at the small chapel along the main highway. Sumajhuarmi headed out to place the cache a short distance away and out of site of muggles. She was in a hurry as the climb of more than 6000 feet from the valley floor had resulted in about a 32 degree drop in temperature. It was cold! Be on the lookout for the High Lonesome cache, GC1KBMT. Cache placed and off we went back down the mountain. Soon we were back in the sunshine and working our way down the winding road towards into the valley. In Ecuador the government paints large blue hearts on the pavement wherever someone has died in a traffic accident. Along the road we passed two curves with over 20 blue hearts. This was a reminder of how dangerous it is to pass on a curve. In Ecuador many drive with a "que sera sera" mentality and therefore put many at danger. Not far from the last group of blue hearts we came upon an accident scene. Someone had driven off the road and over a cliff. The police and a large crowd were there so we didn't stop. It was a straight stretch of road so how they went off the cliff remains a mystery to me. Soon we were in Cumbaya again. We decided to drive around the town a little. This is a nice town with nice suburban communities. All of a sudden we saw a sign to the reservoir. I immediately recalled having looked down from the Metropolitan Park over Quito and seeing this large water reservoir so I was eager to visit it. The Cumbaya Reservoir is open to the public. There is a well-maintained trail around the reservoir. Sumajhuarmi and I grabbed our swag bag and headed out. It was a pleasant, peaceful walk with great views of the valley and the eastern mountain range where we were earlier. What a great place to hide a geocache! Yet, it is private property and I didn't have permission. If it were public property that would be a different story. As we walked a long I saw numerous great locations for a cache. Maybe I can approach the governement water company to seek permission in the future. As we were about through with our circuit we came upon an immediate solution. Bordering the reservoir is a public park. Perfect! We were able to hide the Cumbaya Reservoir Micro (actually in the ajoining public park). Be on the lookout for CG1KBK7. This was a good New Year outting! I'm a little closer to my ration goals too. We had to go celebrate with ice cream!

The National Tourism Police Reloaded and Antigua, Guatemala
The adventure just keeps on keeping on. When I left Official Castillo and the National Tourism Police we agreed that I'd come by on Tuesday and help them hide a cache. The birds around the house where I'm staying really kick in the noise around 5 a.m. as the sun is starting to brighten the sky. I was awake and eager to go, even without the breakfast served in the house at 7 a.m. I headed out the door to walk across the small, colonial town of

Foodborne illnesses (caused when food and beverages are contaminated with bacteria, viruses or parasites) send thousands of people to the hospital every year. Practising these steps when shopping will help ensure you and your household stay safe.
It's hard to be sure how food is being handled behind the scenes, but make an assessment of what you can see. Is the facility overall clean and tidy? If there are flies all over the produce and dirt on the shelves, you might want to switch stores.
Bacteria can develop if you leave items that need to be refrigerated out in the open, so when heading to the grocery store, plan to return home soon after (two hours maximum) to put these items in the fridge. The risk is greatest when temperatures are between 40 and 140 degrees F); if it's hot weather, be sure to get these items refrigerated even more quickly.
Raw meat and seafood should be kept away from other foods in your cart. As an extra precaution, place raw meats in their own plastic bags to ensure no juices are spilled onto your other groceries — and keep them separate when you bag them at checkout, too.
Don't pick up your perishable items such as fish, chicken, eggs and frozen goods until you're just about ready to head to the cash register. Also, when picking up frozen foods, check the packaging and make sure nothing is torn or open. When getting eggs, open up the carton and inspect each egg to ensure it is clean and uncracked.
Inspect jars and cans to make sure they have not been tampered with. Check jar lids to ensure the freshness seal is intact. Leave anything that's cracked, dented or bulging (or give it to the store staff to ensure no one else buys the item).
