I haven't posted here recently. It's not that I don't enjoy it, or that I don't have anything to say, or that I've lost passion…I've just been busy. Life, work, parenthood…these things require attention (if you're doing them right).
Many conservatives are the same way. It's not that we're not out there, we're just…well, busy. We have a lot going on. That's why you don't see us doing Occupy style rallies that last for weeks or months. Unlike those people, we have to go to work, get our kids to school, feed the animals, etc. Conservative rallies usually last a day or a weekend, tops. Then we're back to the grind, off to pay the taxes that fund the parts of the federal budget that aren't paid for with borrowed Chinese money.
I'm still pretty active on Google+ and on the Conservative Union Community, but those are short, quick posts. Long form posts seems to be more difficult lately.
Of course, this year is an election year. This is the time when advocacy and discussion and social media and all those things are critical.
But where will I find the time? you may ask. How can I be effective?
Don't give up. Every little bit we can do this year will be useful. If you're hesitant to get involved politically because you already feel overwhelmed, just relax. You can do more than you think. Keep an eye on the news; check in at the CU Community; talk to your friends; IM your remote friends; email people; write your representatives; donate to a campaign… There's plenty of "little" things we can all do to work towards the goal of electing real conservative candidates.
Most importantly, vote in November. Midterm elections don't get the same kind of turnout that presidential elections do.
We conservatives have an opportunity this year to unsettle the establishment on both sides of the aisle. Don't sell yourself short; get out there and make some magic happen.

This is my second 'Youth Sports Weekend' link-up where I am sharing with you a youth sporting story. Last week, Stats Dad from the
linked up a fantastic, humorous post about the trials and sacrifices parents make as they become Youth Sports Parents. USA
If your family has participated in a Youth Sport or physical activity, please add your link to the bottom so you can share your sporting stories too! It is my hope to build a community that will support , encourage and motive families to participate in youth sports and an active lifestyle.
Today was my 8 year old daughter, Flash's first big swimming carnival; the NSW Country Regional Meet held at the Australian Institute of Sport.
There were over 30 swimming clubs from southern regional NSW competing at this carnival. It was a very, very big day!
I decided to enter Flash in the carnival principally to gain experience swimming at a big swim meet. The age groups for the races started at 9 years and under. So Flash, who is only 8 would need to compete against the 9 year old girls as well. We have also just returned from holidays, and Flash has not done any formal swim training in about a month. I was worried she may be a bit rusty. So, I had told her many times not to worry about the competition, but just to concentrated on swimming well and achieving good times, no matter what her overall place was……which would be fine if she actually ever listened to her mum J.
Her first race was the 50m butterfly and despite everything I had told her, she was very, very, very nervous. She seems to be especially nervous in the marshaling area.
It must be so hard for an 8 year old to stand up on those diving blocks in front of all those people……
Weather it was lack of training, intimidation and nerves from the he size of the meet, or the competitors, Flash swam 5 seconds slower than her previous best time and she ended up placing 8th in the 9 years age group. I told her I was very proud of her and that she had done really well at her first big swimming meet. Although I tried to reinforce that there were no expectations on her, I think she put a lot of pressure on her self. I think this pressure also contributed to her nervousness.
I have to say however, that she didn't appear to be upset with the outcome of the race…but I did notice a steely resolve and renewed determination for her next race.
For her second event, the 100m freestyle, Flash seemed to have relaxed a little and was not as nervous. ….and she was amazing!!. She swam a great race, very close to a personal best and ended up placing 2nd in the under 9's over all.
Flash is second from the bottom in the gold cap.
Despite the earlier nerves and anxiety, Flash was extremely happy and proud of her silver medallion. I know this photo is a bit cheesy, but I just has to show it because its really shows how happy she was!
Today, flash needed to find a part of her self, deep inside that was strong. Strong enough to race her very best against older kids, with hundreds of spectators watching on.
I hope that in the future, in circumstances where she may be in need, she will be able to draw on this same strength and belief in her self. This is one of my favorite benefits of Youth Sport…the development of character.
I am so proud her for her effort today. Not just her effort in swimming, but of her strength of character to participate at her first major swimming carnival.
If you have a Youth Sports story, photographs, or a physical activity your family has enjoyed. Please add your post to the link. Together we can form a community that will support, encourage and motivate other families in the pursuit of a healthy, physically active lifestyle.

Yesterday, I got a little frustrated and decided to bake my way out of it. :0)
I went to my pantry, looked around, didn't have much but decided to throw something together with what I had. Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but am happy to report it turned out delicious.
This Southpaw's Cinnamon Bread
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled down a bit
- 1 1/2 cups milk
Heat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl mix the first 5 ingredients well. Add egg, melted butter and milk. Mix well. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until it tests clean with a toothpick. When it cools you can make a simple glaze to drizzle over the top.
The glaze I made was confectioner's sugar, a little milk, 1/8 tsp of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp of vanilla, all whisked together until smooth.

So, I flew on Sunday and encountered many strange people in the airports. I got the good ol' patdown in order to avoice the Machines of Death at the security checkpoint. (Seriously, I do not understand what the big deal is with the patdowns. Sure, it's thorough, but the ones you get in the Amsterdam airport are more intense, if you ask me.)
I have my first day of classes tomorrow, which means I'll have to survive an hour of speaking Russian.
And tomorrow, I will be taking this site down to protest that wretched SOPA. Don't get me wrong, I am against piracy, but SOPA is bad news and I think anyone who values freedom of speech should protest. I won't be using the lame JavaScript provided on SopaBlackout.org because you can click to access the site content. I'm going with a theme that will block my posts from being viewed. My site will be like this for twenty-four hours, i.e. the entire day on January 18 (I'll be counting the time using Eastern Standard Time).

ASD11, being a D-Type Switched Capacitor Block does not have modulation inputs. However, ASC21, being a C-Type Switched Capacitor Block has modulation inputs. So I request you to try to use ASC21, instead of ASD11. (Refer TRM pages 416 and 417)
To connect the ASC21 modulation inputs to Comparator Bus 1, set the AMOD1[2:0] bits in the AMD_CR1 register to 101b. (Refer TRM pages 270 and 376)

OK I'll admit I like all of their music.
|Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1977
Afterwards Rob said "this was one of the best concerts I have ever seen"
I was in high school at the time, and had requested from my employer as many hours as he could spare for me to work, I was helping Mom support our family, and got a call to go into work on the day of the concert.
I opted to give up my ticket to another friend. Rob and I planned to go instead "next year" when Lynyrd Skynyrd played here again, which was never meant to be.
Upon leaving Greenville SC on October 20th 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrds airplane ran out of fuel, and ended up crashing in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi killing six people, including the bands lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, along with Steve Gains who played guitar, and Steve's sister Cassie Gains who was a backup singer for the group, the pilot, co-pilot, and the bands assistant road manager also died.
This was Lynyrd Skynyrds last concert, my very last chance to hear them play live, and I had a ticket.......
I never got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd, never happened, but I did have a chance.
I know the group started back up about ten years later, but three members will always be missing.
I have seen several other concerts, I saw Boston and The Doobie Brothers, also some great Country acts, like Alabama, they were really good, and I saw Crystal Gayle the sister of Loretta Lynn, and Eddie Rabbitt a week after I was supposed to see George Jones at the Ector County Colesieum in Odessa, Texas.
|George Jones aka "no show Jones"
Another Group that I really liked was The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, I saw them play at a performance in the middle of main street during a music festival in Clovis, New Mexico, Dance Little Jean is one of my favorites from this group.
I saw Waylon Jennings get booed off of stage during his drinking days, and at the same concert they introduced a newcomer Hank Williams Jr. Who totally made up for Ol' Waylons slurring attempts to sing, when he took command of the stage, Hank Jr. blew us all away but I still liked Waylon's music anyways.
|Hank Williams Jr and Waylon Jennings
Cindy and I went to a free concert at the park and saw Wilson Phillips play, I'm telling you those girls can sing, but they come from music stock and should be able to carry a tune, with Carnie and Wendy Wilson being the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Chynna Phillips the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas.
I like music and the music I like varies, anything from Gospel to Country, Pop Rock to Hard Rock, Blues to Jazz, and Easy Listening, I don't really claim a particular style I just like what sounds good to me.
There are and have been a lot of good performers, I can't begin to list them all, the few I mentioned here is just an example of some that I like.
Music I like has a tune or tells a story, I'm sorry but some of the stuff I hear screaming out of my radio now is an embarrassment, this stuff that claims to be music is nothing more than filth. If I can't play it in front of my Mama then it ain't music in my opinion.
I could play anything Ronnie Van Zant sang in earshot of my Mom without the need to apologize. I just wish some of the songwriters today thought this way when releasing their songs.
What kind of music do you like, and who is your favorite performer?

I am very blessed though. I have three handsome boys and a wonderful husband with family close by. Life is good, even through the eyes of a very sleep deprived person. :)
Saturday, October 11, 2014
Have you ever relived a past experience and just kicked yourself for how you reacted or what you said or even what you did? I've done a lot of that these past few weeks. How I wish I could turn back time for many things, some of them more recent than others. I'm not sure how to stop those things from happening. Sometimes I wish my memory wasn't very good (although that's dwindling with having kids). Not that I'm bragging on having a good memory. Frankly I'm surprised at what I remember and what I don't. It can be the tiniest, little detail of something that happened years ago for something that I can recall, but I can't remember what I ate yesterday. :)
Sometimes I have a hard time letting things go and I'm thinking that's why I seem to relive all the stupid moments of life. I'm working on it but it doesn't make it any easier. As long as we're learning from the past right . . . ?
And I'm doing it right now. I had a thought for what to write next and between the time I had the thought and my fingers began to move, I've already forgotten. :( So frustrating.
Anyway, along with reliving those moments, I feel a bit like it's been a Mommy's fail week. It's most likely nothing more than being incredible tired and worn out, but I feel that way nonetheless. I think what triggered it is reading someone's post and hearing a couple other people with newborns talk about how their babies are sleeping through the night at 4 weeks or they get a 12 hour night at 3 months and how it was worth sticking to a schedule and all that. Can I just say that's incredible frustrating too?
I don't know how many of you out there have children like that. If you do, you are very blessed. If you don't, you are blessed too but in different ways. I do not have children like that. And I don't care how many people say every baby should be able to sleep through the night and it's something that's trained and it's not up to the child but the parent or that it's a copout to say that some kids are better sleepers than others. (I'm sure I'm missing some of the sayings.) It's not true. And you may say that I'm wrong in that statement, but that's my belief.
Here's why.
I did everything by the book with Tigger, and I mean everything. I had him on a schedule. I followed everything little thing the books said to do to get your baby to sleep through the night by a certain age. It didn't work. Tigger didn't sleep through the night for a long time, and even now I'm very grateful every night he sleeps without waking up. He wouldn't sleep without me holding him.
Again, people will say that's my fault. Just remember, I did everything by the book. I didn't hold him all the time. I let him cry it out. I did it all and he still didn't/wouldn't sleep.
So with Bear I've tried things a little bit differently thinking it might help. It hasn't. I've tried to get him on a consitent schedule and he flat out won't follow it. Maybe I'm not good at letting him scream it out but to me if a child is hungry you feed him even if it's not according to "the schedule." And everytime I feed him he eats an entire meal. It's not like he's snacking.
Anyway, it can be irritating when people say things like that. To me, every child is different and some children are sleepers. Others are not. Bear still doesn't have things figured out, although he's doing better. It's one of those things.
I am very blessed though. I have three handsome boys and a wonderful husband with family close by. Life is good, even through the eyes of a very sleep deprived person. :)

I've thought about you this week. Peanut hasn't been sleeping too good lately so I can empathize with where you are coming from. It's tough. Every single baby is different... We can try to do everything the books say or what other people say you should be doing but you are his mom...you know what is best for him. You are doing an amazing job being his mom. You are amazing!!! Don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Cindy. So are you!! :)ReplyDelete

Calypso may refer to:
King Short Shirt (McLean Emanuel) Antigua and Barbuda Album Ghetto Vibes 1976
Caly was a cruise liner owned by Louis Cruises, and was under charter to Thomson Cruises, part of TUI Travel at one time. Earlier names of the ship are Canguro Verde, Durr, Ionian Harmony, Sun Fiesta, Regent Jewel, Calypso and The Calypso. In April 2013, she was beached in Alang, India, for scrapping.
On Saturday 6 May 2006 at 4 am the starboard engine caught fire 16 miles off Eastbourne while it was carrying 708 people from Tilbury to Saint Peter Port on Guernsey. The crew put the fire out. The passengers meanwhile were assemble in the designated emergency stations, which however did not need to be launched. The fire caused extensive damage to the ship and she was out of action through the early part of the (northern hemisphere) summer cruising season.
Calypso is a fictional villain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #209 and was created by Denny O'Neil and Alan Weiss.
Calypso initially appeared as a minor character The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1, #209 and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 1, #65, where was she was an ally of Spider-Man's enemy Kraven the Hunter. After Kraven's death, Calypso bewitched the Lizard into helping her attack Spider-Man in Spider-Man Vol. 1, #1-5, then made guest appearances in Daredevil Vol. 1, #310-311 and Daredevil Annual Vol. 1, #9. Calypso next appeared in Web of Spider-Man Vol. 1, #109-110 and Spider-Man Annual 1997, and was killed-off in a storyline that spanned The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 1, #249-253.
Calypso was a nameless voodoo priestess of Haitian nationality. She was a psychopathic woman who was associated with Sergei Kravinoff. Calypso seemed to enjoy driving Kraven into fits of rage and furthering his hatred of Spider-Man, which ultimately led to Kraven's suicide in the Kraven's Last Hunt storyline.
Offshore may refer to:
Offshore (1979) is a novel by Penelope Fitzgerald. It won the Booker Prize for that year. It recalls her time spent on boats on the Thames in Battersea. The novel explores the liminality of people who do not belong to the land or the sea, but are somewhere in between. The epigraph, "che mena il vento, e che batte la pioggia, e che s'incontran con si aspre lingue" ("whom the wind drives, or whom the rain beats, or those who clash with such bitter tongues") comes from Canto XI of Dante's Inferno.
"Offshore", when used relative to hydrocarbons, refers to an oil, natural gas or condensate field that is under the sea, or to activities or operations carried out in relation to such a field. There are various types of platform used in the development of offshore oil and gas fields, and subsea facilities.
Offshore exploration is performed with floating drilling units.

Your Paths
April 9, 2015 by Cathy Brown
"There is no right path. There are endless paths, and the differences in the paths are what make them more and more and more perfect."
~Abraham Hicks
Recently I attended a lecture on Chaldean numerology. The premise of this metaphysical study is that each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number from 1-8 according to the sound vibration of that letter. By adding the numbers of your entire birth name, you can find dominate components of your life such as your strengths and life purpose.
I was fascinated to confirm my strengths are speaking, teaching, writing and performing; and amazed to look back to my past to see how these strengths played out in all my career paths. I started my career as a high school teacher, and then moved into financial sales and consulting, management and training and connecting college graduates with future employers and now coaching. Several different paths – all encouraging growth in speaking and teaching. My training and sales presentations created the opportunity for writing and performing…all different paths… all refining my true life purpose.
Take some time to think back on all your "career paths" – even the early ones you may have considered as "just a job".
- What do you love to do?
- What are your strengths and how are they "showing up" in your work?
- How are those strengths growing?
- What are the high points of each job?
- How did you grow from each career that helped you prepare for your next career?
- What is your overriding theme?
- What is your life purpose?
We may take many paths to arrive are our soul destination. There is an old Indian saying that really says it all …"All roads are good."
"Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations."
~Jill Blakeway
I grow my strengths daily
I am developing my life purpose
Share this with a friend to Facebook!
We love to hear your thoughts...
For twenty or so years I have wondered what is my purpose. Neither my prayers nor intellect delivered an answer. I continue in my search, but am so frustrated by not knowing. I do think that my favorite things are speaking, teaching, and writing. Much like yours! Is there some way that you may help me.

Merriam Webster defines luxury as something adding to pleasure or comfort that's not absolutely necessary. The Mindshare North America team recently did some research into the world of luxury brands and consumers, because we wanted to know what makes people choose a more expensive item -- like a hotel suite costing $50,000 per night -- and what the takeaways are for marketers. Our research included an online survey with 2,000 consumers across the country and in-person focus groups with luxury buyers, on top of other behavioral data and partnering with Yale psychologist Paul Bloom.AlertMe

ALTON — The Alton Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating the fourth suspect in a series of cases where counterfeit $100 bills were passed.
According to a press release issued Friday, the first incidents occurred at businesses on East Broadway in Alton on Sept. 8. At that time, the Alton Police alerted the public to be on the lookout for individuals passing counterfeit $100 bills and offered counterfeit detection pens to business owners at no charge to assist in identifying counterfeit money.
On Thursday, Sept. 17, an alert employee at the Family Dollar store on Washington Avenue, having heard about the recent incidents, recognized a $100 bill as possibly counterfeit. The employee didn't stop at just alerting the police to the crime, she acted as a good witness and obtained a detailed description of the suspects, their vehicle and their direction of travel.
Officers of the Alton Police Department Patrol Division swiftly located the suspect vehicle and pursued it across the Clark Bridge. With ground and air support from St. Louis County Police, officers safely and successfully apprehended Eric D. Marion, 22, of St. Louis and Dion Price, 20, of Florissant.
Alton General Case Detective Marcos Pulido was assigned the cases and personally conducted hours of follow-up and interviews. His work paid off, and two other suspects were identified as Kai D. Bowers, 20, of Florissant and Tylon D. Beasley, 19, of Bridgeton.
Bowers and Beasley were each charged with three counts of forgery and one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Marion has been charged with four counts of forgery and one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Price has been charged with seven counts of forgery, one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and one count of aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. Bond was set for each suspect at $75,000.
Price and Bowers were in custody in the St. Louis County Jai Friday and Marion is in custody in the Madison County Jail.
Beasley is not yet in police custody. He is described as a 19-year-old black male, approximately 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 125 pounds. Anyone with information regarding Tylon D. Beasley's whereabouts should contact the Alton Police Department Investigations Division at 618-63-3505 extension 234. The Anonymous Tip Line number is 618-465-5948.

Hello Blogness, My Old Friend.
A little of what's been going on around the property this spring – between surprisingly sunny days, a comparatively large absence of mice invading the green house, and several machines that won't cooperate – it's been an interesting one so far! Enjoy the photos.

Farm Subscription Signup Time!
Here are some photos of previous years farm shares, to get you excited about what's to come. Click on "2014 CSA" at the top of the page for more information on how to sign up.
Filed under Uncategorized
I told myself I'd try to post on this blog more often this year, but so far, there has been too many projects to tempt me outdoors – plus, the weather has been amazing. Last year at this time, I was hunkering down in my greenhouse full of starts that were ready to go into the ground, while it rained nearly every day until June. Now, I'm a bit behind with my transplants, and I have open fields with nothing to plant! So goes the life of a farmer.
I was, however, able to get some tomatoes started in the greenhouse, and they've taken off with the warm weather. A few nights of freezing temperatures last week had me draping the adolescent plants with row cover (shown in between the plants below) to protect them from frost damage. Even inside the greenhouse at night, plants can be harmed or killed by temperatures of 34 degrees or below.
I am experimenting with a few growing techniques that are new to me this season, as well as growing some things I've never grown, such as sweet corn, okra, tomatillos, sweet potatoes, and a handful of new varieties of old favorites (purple carrots, flowering kale, sprouting broccoli, orange cauliflower, and two new varieties of garlic, to name a few.) All in all, my head is spinning with the effort of preparing for this season, and dealing with unexpected set-backs related to the very un-Oregon like spring weather we've been having.
As always, my garlic and shallots seem to be doing very well. Last fall, I planted the seed with the help of some friends, covering half of each bed with a 2-3 inch layer of chopped-up leaves mowed up from the lawn around the property. I waited to see if the seedlings would have enough strength to come up through the soil and the thick layer of mulch – happily, all or most of them did. Ironically, the area I left un-mulched just in case actually germinated slower it seemed, and some didn't even truly come up until early this spring. All of the plants look healthy now, and I've been helping them along with a dose of liquid balanced fertilizer every few weeks, to make sure they bulb up nicely. The mulch has done a good job of keeping weeds down, and the soil moist during this unusual dry spell.
And, I've been building bridges! Well, one bridge, anyway. With the patient help of my stepfather Michael, I was able to cobble together a sound structure for getting in and out of the main gate to the farm. Wood poles sunk into concrete in the ground support my new 6′ wide by 15′ long bridge, made of pressure treated 2″x8″ lumber. Scratch that project off the list.
In other news, the mason bees are finally moving into the little house we've provided them on the outside wall of the coop. The females lay their eggs along the length of these paper tubes, separating each one with a wall of a soil and pollen mixture. Apparently the females can tell which eggs will hatch as male, and which as females. The males are laid towards the front of the tube, just in case a hungry invader breaks through the final, thicker layer of caked mud at the entrance. This way, the valuable females will have a better chance of surviving to breed next spring, when they'll hatch after wintering over in their cozy tubes to get a head start on pollinating early-blooming fruit trees that non-native pollinators like honeybees will shun because of cold temperatures. I'll post more photos and info about these little guys (and gals) as things progress.
Well, despite a few setbacks, this season is shaping up to be as successful as it is challenging. I've signed up the equivalent of 15 shares to my "farm subscription" program (CSA) this season – about twice the number I had last year. I'm planning on doing two markets per week, and selling to a few new restaurants. Hopefully, I'll get around to installing my irrigation tank and lines this fall, and with my refrigeration unit nearly finished, I'll be all set up to farm at my full capacity next season!
And finally, meet our new Director of Pest Management, Ser Bronn!
The Build(up).
Whew. Don't let anyone tell you farmers have the winter off. I've been working steadily on several projects around the farm, as well as a few peripherally having to do with developing stronger food security here in Cottage Grove. I've recently taken on the role of Farmer Liaison with Sustainable Cottage Grove (www.sustainablecottagegrove.org), in order to create a collective of growers in this area, with the initial aim of supplying the local Coast Fork Farm Stand with produce for much of the year. For more about that, click here. I've also been shaking the dust from my graphic design skills, and developing some print media related to getting the word out about the Coast Fork Farm Stand's Community Cooperative, as well as working on media for my own farm. All in all, it has been a busy winter, indoors and out.
My excitement for the coming season has been steadily increasing, starting with the arrival of my seed packets last month. I'll be growing a whole bunch of new varieties of old standards this year, as well as a few fruits and veggies I've never grown before, including sweet potatoes, marionberries, sweet corn, kohlrabi, okra, tomatillos, and leeks. I'm also looking forward to having a full crop of strawberries this year, and maybe even some asparagus. My Farm Subscription list continues to fill up, as of now I have about 5 spots left out of 15.
Mostly, I've been working on building some refrigeration for the farm, erecting a 10'x20′ structure with an attached covered storage area for tools, etc., as well as fashioning a few homemade tools to make seed starting a bit more efficient. The cooler will be run with a through-the-wall air conditioner, and a device called a "cool bot," that connects to the thermostat on the unit, essentially tricking the air conditioner into operating at full capacity. This is much cheaper to install and operate than a standard walk-in cooler with fans.
Recently, the lovely Ellie Larson was nice enough to take a few photos of the new seeding tools in action, as well as the seedling mix creation process, one rainy day last week. Here are a few images, enjoy!
Farm Subscription for 2013
There's been a lot of interest in my Farm Subscription plan this year – I made this double sided flyer, with the intent of handing them out to folks around town, but I may not even get to printing them before all the spots are filled.
I start seeding in the greenhouse next week, which means I'll hopefully be paying a little more attention to this here blog, as well. Can't wait for my second official season of growing!

Yellen Fed Ramps Up Attention Over `Somewhat Rich' Asset Prices
(Bloomberg) -- It's not an alarm bell, but Federal Reserve officials are suddenly talking more about rising asset prices.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen, Vice Chair Stanley Fischer and San Francisco Fed President John Williams on Tuesday all acknowledged that valuations in equity and other asset markets had risen noticeably in recent weeks.
"Financial arguments are starting to take more life," said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities. "While you will never hear the Fed say they have lifted rates because of this, it is certainly weighing on the decision calculus in a way it wasn't six or nine months ago."
The debate over U.S. monetary policy has been fixated for months on whether policy makers should take their signal from falling unemployment, which has boosted the case for rate hikes, or sluggish inflation, which has counseled patience. Rising asset prices could introduce the element of financial stability into the mix, strengthening the argument to keep tightening policy.
Despite raising rates three times in the last seven months, borrowing costs remain near historic lows. Critics have long worried the Fed's easy-money policy could lead to financial bubbles, though none have yet materialized.
The S&P 500 Index of U.S. stocks hit an all-time high on June 19. Commercial real-estate valuations relative to operating income have reached historic highs, and bond yields have remained near historic lows.
U.S. equities fell the most in six weeks on Tuesday after Yellen, answering audience questions at an event in London, described asset valuations as "somewhat rich if you use some traditional metrics like price earnings ratios."
That followed remarks by Fischer earlier on Tuesday, who said increased valuations may reflect greater risk-taking as well as stronger growth prospects.
Brighter Outlook
"The general rise in valuation pressures may be partly explained by a generally brighter economic outlook, but there are signs that risk appetite increased as well," Fischer said. "So far, the evidently high risk appetite has not lead to increased leverage across the financial system, but close monitoring is warranted."
"You are seeing a little bit of a concern about asset prices," said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York. "Concern might be a strong word, but they are taking note of it."
In an interview with Australian Broadcasting Corporation television, the San Francisco Fed's Williams said "the stock market still seems to be running very much on fumes."
Fed projections call for one more rate increase this year. Fed officials have said they intend to begin trimming the central bank's $4.5 trillion balance sheet this year.
Mickey Levy, chief economist for the U.S. and Asia at Berenberg Capital Markets in New York, viewed the Fed comments as another reason to believe policy makers will continue tightening policy this year along the path they've already set out.
"An investor should take away that the Fed is going to raise rates in line with their projections, and it's going to gradually unwind its balance sheet," he said.

You've seen the TV commercials, but what do you really know about Virginia College?
At first glance, the proprietary school based in Birmingham, Ala., doesn't seem to have roots in Virginia. The sign appears out of place in Mississippi. But the lack of name recognition — or name confusion — hasn't hurt the college. Almost 150 students have enrolled since Virginia College opened its doors in Jackson last fall.
"In most instances, community colleges train their students to go to senior colleges. We train our students to go to work," said Bill Milstead, director of admissions.
However, Jimmy Smith, vice president for occupational programs at Hinds Community College in Raymond, disagrees.
"Hinds is a comprehensive community college serving the needs of all types of students, whether they are planning to transfer to a university or enter the job market after completing one of our technical or career programs," he said. "This comprehensiveness includes one-year certificate programs and two-year associate of applied science degrees, plus such training as job skill upgrade, adult basic education and GED preparation."
Mississippi's community college system, one the oldest in the country, is actively involved in workforce training and development programs throughout the state.
Olon Ray, executive director of the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges, said proprietary schools fall under the auspices of the community college board as a legal licensure for certain minimum requirements to meet state statutes.
"I don't know of any complaints about Virginia College," he said.
In the early to mid-1990s, proprietary schools went through a shake-up when the U.S. Department of Education raised standards for qualification of financial aid programs. Because of an inability to administer financial aid, many proprietary schools folded, including Mississippi-based Phillips College, with 38 schools around the nation.
Danny Seal, director of proprietary schools, a division of the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges, said Virginia College received a good endorsement from the commissioner of Alabama — and seems to have found a niche market in Jackson.
"Other schools in the area are now looking to possibly upgrade their facilities," he said, adding that the community college board is not an accrediting body nor does it endorse private colleges. "So far, we've had a limited history with them, but our dealings with them have been very positive."
Virginia College was established by the Atlantis Group Inc., and began operations in Roanoke, Va., in 1983. The college received initial approval to grant associate degrees and certificates as a junior college from the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia in 1985. Four years later, Career Futures Inc. purchased Virginia College and continued to operate under the same name.
"We had some resistance to the name initially, but after several years, the name became very recognizable," said Ken Horne, founder of Virginia College. Horne and his wife, Ann, began working in the career college field in the early 1970s. "When we got to a point where we could change the name, we didn't want to. Some people say, 'Why would I want to go to Virginia to go to school?' and we have to keep selling the fact that it is a local entity and not an entity in Virginia."
In 1992, the Hornes opened a branch campus in Birmingham, Ala. A year later, another one opened in Huntsville, Ala. In 1995, the main campus was relocated from Salem, Va. to Birmingham, Ala. Last fall, the Jackson campus opened. Other southeastern cities, with a population base of around half a million, are being considered next. A site in Austin, Texas is also high on the list of possibilities, he said.
"We've been treated so royally since we've come to Jackson that we joked about moving our headquarters here," said Horne.
The college's academic focus is primarily on computer training for business and technology, Milstead said.
"Even though 80% of our courses are computer-related, specializing in various levels of certification, we also offer medical office administration and paralegal programs," he said.
The college is set up on an open enrollment quarter system rather than a traditional semester system. New classes begin every six to 12 weeks, and programs range from 12 to 30 months, depending on the major field of study.
"Right now, we have about 150 students, and expect to double that by fall," Horne said. "About 55% of enrollment at our Alabama schools is from referrals. Once students find us, they know we have good people and good programs. We're one of very few schools that are academic partners with Novel, Microsoft and Cisco."
Right now, Virginia College is looking for CAD instructors. "Our teacher pay scale is dictated by what the industry pays as opposed to what other educational institutions pay," Milstead said.
Prescreening for applicants inside the admissions office on Interstate 55 in Jackson is a multiple-step process. When asked for an information packet, applicants are handed a courtesy interview information form to complete and may then talk to a counselor before more information is disclosed.
"Our tuition fees are higher than state schools because our total operating cost is paid by tuition," Horne said. "State colleges get a certain dollar amount of subsidy per student. Obviously, we don't have that. We do participate in student loan programs and have a financial aid office. Our tuition fees are higher than a state college but lower than a private college."
Carolyn Boteler, a 21-year industry veteran who founded Jackson-based TempStaff in 1981 and recently added ExecuStaff, an employment service that specializes in the permanent placement of technical management, administrative and office support positions, said there has been a continually high demand for computer and technical support jobs.
"We would love to talk to anyone at Virginia College about those jobs," she said. "Computer skills are very valuable in today's workplace."

Peter Hoetmer of Metraclark has put together a training course for people in the HVAC&R sector to make them aware of the requirements for handling Hydrocarbon refrigerants in a commercial environment.
Although many believe that Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants will only come into the local market in the distant future, they are already here. HCs such as isobutene (R600a) and propane (R290) can be found in various HVAC&R applications – often unknown to the technician who works on it.
It's not just domestic refrigerators (now charged with R600a), even Transfrig has developed a transport refrigeration unit charged with R290. Equipment such as self-contained ice cream vending cabinets are also being imported charged with either propane or isobutene.
As these refrigerants fall into the A2L category of 'flammable' refrigerants, it's vital that technicians and anyone who work on these systems, understand how to do so safely. That is why training and educating the market on working with HCs is so necessary – especially those who operate in a commercial environment.
HC is a natural gas and by law must have a limited charge, but even so, it can be very dangerous if not handled correctly. There was a domestic fridge charged with R600a that exploded in Pretoria last year and caused extensive damage to the house, blowing out the windows. That's why safety requirements are so stringent when working with HCs. When being used in larger areas such as supermarkets, the same safety precautions need to be adhered to.
Both R600a and R290 are efficient refrigerants with a GWP of below five and are often seen as a viable option towards green refrigeration. As with all other so called hazardous refrigerants, if handled correctly do not present an undue threat.
That's why Hoetmer, who has many years of on the job experience and training experience (he used to be a full-time trainer at the OTTC training centre in Springs), has developed a course on HCs and is currently presenting it to Metraclark's client base across the country.
The training takes place at select Metraclark branches as well as their head office in Benrose. The HC course has a specific focus on R290 and R600a.

Ryan got back late last night but I didn't see much of him.
He's already away out when I get up and breakfast. I'm going out via the back yard so that the deck door locks behind me. (making sure I haven't forgotten anything).
Continuing on I'm passing by Jackson. I thought that this was the town mentioned in the well known song 'I'm going to Jackson'. It was a hit in the U.K for Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood, but more globally for Johnny Cash and June Carter. However it's Jackson, Mississippi which is a bigger city which claims it.
It does have a claim to fame though in the Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum
From Jackson it's another 90 miles till I stop to eat
So now that's sorted it's time to look for accommodation for the night. I'm back on I-40 and continue on to Old Hickory Blvd. It's about the busiest road I've come across this trip. Up and down here I can see nothing like accommodation so I pull off and get my map out again. I'm looking for Stewarts Ferry Pike which I'd already decided was where I was heading for. I'd come too far east. So, back on the Interstate and back the way I'd come. Hurrah, a road-sign for accommodation on Stewarts Ferry Pike, at last. I turn North West only to find a mile up the road I should have turned South. First the airport car park and now more wrong turns. This is punishment for me thinking I had more 'Nous' than I really have.
After turning round and recrossing the I-40 (I think it hates to lose me) I finally find Percy Priest Drive and a whole street of 'Inns'. I take the nearest one which is Family Inns of America, it looks OK.
I need to charge my camera battery so I take a few snaps on my Kindle. They haven't come out very well.
Across the road to Subway for a ham and bacon sub with lettuce, tomato and melted cheese and a coffee.
Back to my room with my supper, turned the TV on and Johnny Cash has just met Sam Phillips at Sun Studios in the movie Walk the Line. A brilliant way to say goodbye to Tennessee !
Tuesday the 10th of December
After a good nights sleep I'm up and having my porridge and using my last English Breakfast teabag.

Semi-trucks are heavy duty trucks that are used in order to transport passengers, heavy cargo and all kinds of bulky material. Semi-trucks are seen on almost every road, hauling long loaded trailers. From among all the heavy duty trucks, semi-trucks are a real standout in terms of versatility and strength. Semi-trucks are also known as big rigs because they are longer than 16 meters. These heavy duty trucks are most commonly used to carry freight. These semi-trucks have trailers attached and that is the most powerful and best combination that a truck can have.
Here is a list of things and some of the applications of semi-trucks that you didn't know about:
Great towing capacity
Semi-trucks are up to 30 times heavier than cars and so they have a good towing capacity. The semi-trucks and cars that are for sale are commonly compared in terms of strength. These semi-trucks are a lot heavier than cars which means that they are even more powerful.
Long lengths
When it comes to the length of the truck, semi-trucks are longer than most of the trailer truck combinations. The lengths of the semi-trucks vary up to 25 meters along with the cab.
Engines last longer
Semi-trucks that are for sale come along with engines that last longer than any other types of heavy duty trucks and vehicles. The engines of semi-trucks have a life expectancy of around one million kilometers. If calculated in terms of capacity, the engines of semi-trucks can range up to 1000 horsepower.
Applications of semi-trucks
Semi-trucks are specially designed to be used for transportation of various freights. They are extensively used for transporting agricultural and building materials.
Consumes more fuel
Great towing capacity comes with a heavy price. Semi-trucks offer great towing capacity but consumes 20 times more fuel than the other types of heavy duty trucks. They require huge amounts of fuel to work efficiently and transport heavy loads.
Requires better driving skills
Most of the heavy duty trucks can stop quickly but with the brakes of semi-trucks more time and distance is required. The average time that semi-trucks need to stop is about 40 times more than any other type of vehicle. This is why, semi-truck drivers need to have improved driving skills.
The things mentioned above are very important to know if you are thinking of getting a semi-truck or have one already. Knowing these things about the semi-truck will give you a better experience with your truck and you will be able to use your semi-truck for more useful purposes.

In the past I've talked about how National used the Super City to abrogate its responsibilities to Auckland. Labour's not doing that. Instead, they're forcing us to swallow that stinking rotten fish known as urban sprawl. That's worse. It's one thing to be lumbered with pointless and wasteful roads. It's one thing to just do nothing and wait for Auckland to become some kind of urban hell. It is quite another to use your power to decide some of the most fertile land in New Zealand (and thus, the world) ought to be concrete. I'd rather see the Council struggle to not be able to do much than have the Government force it to do away with core parts of plans synthesised from democratic and expert input. It's not the role of government to reject these things.
You know, I guess I thought the Labour government would let the Super City do its thing. That is, the role would be, "Phil, you bring an idea to Phil and he'll tell us about it and we'll probably facilitate it." What is the point of having a Super City if you're going to micromanage Auckland from Wellington? Isn't local government like the AI in games like Age of Empires? I, as the player, set up my town and the AI does certain things within it. I don't have to tell my villagers which animal to hunt next. I don't have to show them how to get from A to B. I don't have to, but I can. And the way the game is set up is to make it so I do when I think it's doing something wrong. The AI lets me go along as long as I think things are following my macro/grand (national) strategy. That's what Local Government does too, right? It deals with things like resource consents, libraries and bylaws that are too fiddly to have people who think about, say, Invercargill, Taihape and Napier too be mucking about with.
Now, I guess Phil "Chinese Sounding Names" Twyford is stupid enough to think that the Rural Urban Boundary is part of the problem. That would make sense. This is a man most famous for thinking that just because your surname is Lee you're not a NZer. You're only not going to blink twice at this if you're really, really convinced the problem is demand. And if you're thinking the problem is demand, you're thinking the supply problem is simply that there isn't enough of it. This is even kind of true. The problem is it was never the houses: it was the system. It doesn't make sense to let people build more houses in more areas if you're not going to change the system. It doesn't make sense if you're going to try and shake up the incentives if you give them a way of doing what they were doing before. That's all removing the Boundary does. It just lets developers pursue the quick and easy buck like they've always done, even though now you're letting them build apartments. Have you really changed anything if nothing has changed? No, you haven't. A sprawl mentality created Auckland's problems and letting more sprawl happen is just enabling.
Key Points Because I Ramble:
- Central Government is trying to do something that Local Government both normally does and is actually better placed to do. There's also a moral hazard problem here because which level of government actually has to reach out to these places to build, maintain and look after them? That's right, local government... the level disagreeing with the move.
- Sprawl is inherently bad... it degrades environments, it induces traffic which harms mental and physical health and it ultimately pushes the poorer members of society outwards... further from amenities. Sprawl makes it more expensive to provide key parts of social infrastructure (e.g. schools, WINZ) or makes it less accessible (because it is further from residents). All of these points make it unsustainable and economically illiterate to pursue.
- Removing the Rural Urban Boundary won't increase the available land because the real constraint is the provision of infrastructure so land prices won't become cheaper. It doesn't reflect that the problem with land prices is (a) land banking artificially limiting the supply and (b) density controls prevent efficient use of land meaning developers' land costs are made-up in fewer units, i.e. the typical unit price has more land costs in it than there should be (think: $502,000 for a plot spread across one versus two versus four versus ten units...).
- Removing the Rural Urban Boundary encourages the provision of infrastructure when the money would be more efficiently spent on allowing/assisting brownfields development (from point two). It also, greatly problematically, encourages asking for infrastructure provision... which is going to happen because it's now obvious Moar Houses is all Twyford thinks about.
- Removing the Rural Urban Boundary will only result in cheaper units if the subsidisation of sprawl is continued. Internalising even some of the costs of sprawl isn't going to achieve cheaper housing, so it must not be part of the plan. Thus, why are you, as a developer, going to pursue the riskier brownfields programme we need (or even just building up which is something few contractors in NZ have experience doing) when you're able to do what is less risky and everyone's been doing for donkey's years? That is, single unit detached houses. Or, put another way, all these new building forms one is allowed to use won't actually be built.
Labour did something good with the trains, but I'm rather beginning to think that the East West Link was a better use of tax payers' money than whatever regressive, unsustainable and demented schemes Twyford has for housing in Auckland. I knew Labour were pro-sprawl but I really, honestly, didn't expect them to be going this far.

Pudsey Congs legend Ralph Middlebrook has described Saturday as a proud moment for the club following a gutsy five-run win over Preistley Cup finalists Woodlands.
"It never seemed possible," he said. "Having posted 203 on a faultless wicket I thought we were a long way short. And then at 100-0, well, it just seemed that we weren't in it."
Batting first on what Middlebrook described as a 260 deck, only opener Callum Geldart raised his bat during a measured 65.
His team-mates chipped in around him, including Nick Lindley (27) and Joe Greaves (26), with whom he recorded partnerships of over 50, but it was a fightback with the ball that really earned Congs a vital 18-point win.
Joshes Holling (1-38) and Wheatley (2-34) were both miserly, Wheatley's 15 overs going for less than 2.5 runs per over, and wrist spinner Joe Greaves took a late 4-35 to see his side to an improbable victory despite the efforts of Woodlands openers Tim Jackson (57) and Sam Frankland (58).
"We've got three seamers under 20, and to see players like Josh Wheatley and Nick Lindley show that sort of fighting quality against quality players like Tim Jackson was wonderful."
Alongside the efforts of his team's younger players, Middlebrook, father of former Yorkshire and Essex twirler James, paid testament to the experienced Babar Butt on his return to the side.
Butt is something of a club legend, having played in each of their five consecutive league titles between 2000 and 2004, and is back after a dalliance with Aire Wharfe outfit Kirkstall.
"Babar is a life member and a member of the 'famous five', and his experience was vital I think," added Middlebrook. "You could see that he was really helping the captain with a few things, and his influence was a revelation. He came in and batted cleverly, too, pushing singles, which isn't bad for a 50-odd year-old!"
The win pulls Congs out of the relegation zone and into ninth, leapfrogging fellow Bradford League big names East Bierley and Bradford & Bingley in the process. Not one to get carried away, Middlebrook was keen to stress that the team knows what they need to do to wheel themselves further away from danger.
"We dread being in the bottom half. We've suffered from a lack of application in the batting and because our pitch is, in my opinion, the best in the league."
"You look at other teams in the Bradford League and players like (Gary) Fellows and (Mark) Robertshaw, they're batting for long periods on good pitches.
"That's what we need to do. We need 100s, big scores. All of the top six are capable of doing that. We've got to bat long."
"We can't fathom, with the talent at our disposal, how we are in the position that we're in. But we've not been particularly unlucky and the table doesn't lie. Players come to play for Pudsey Congs to play on a great pitch and to win things, and that is very much the ethos of the club."
Saturday was Gareth Phillips' side's first win in six, and they will be expecting to record back-to-back victories when they take on Scholes this weekend. The Bradford League new boys are rock-bottom in the league and look consigned to relegation.
"It's a game we would expect to win," said Middlebrook, "we won't be taking anything for granted, but hopefully we can get some runs under our belt and go on a little run from here."
Further up the table, the defeat had no effect on Woodlands' league position, although it does put the fifth-placed side further out of reach of the top four, 27 points back on the in-form New Farnley.
The Bradford side take on Congs rivals Pudsey St Lawrence in the final of the Priestley Cup on August 28 in what could well be a season-defining encounter.
Pudsey Congs' celebrations after beating Woodlands will have been lifted further by the news that relegation rivals East Bierley were edged out at Farsley.
Skipper Arthur Price (75) led the charge for the home side alongside Greg Pickles (32) as the third-placed side set 224-9 despite the efforts of Danish Hussain (4-49) and Luke Jarvis (3-63).
East Bierley stuttered to 97-6 before Bjorn Taylor (48) and lower order batsmen Matthew Lumb (32) and Luke Jarvis (32) took them to a respectable 201.
An eighth-wicket partnership of 70 between Sam Wilson (17) and James Lee (59) pushed Cleckheaton to 161, of which New Farnley made light work thanks to Mark Lawson (62) and Lee Goddard (83*) to win by six wickets.
There was further movement in the relegation scrap as Morley leapfrogged Bradford & Bingley to go eighth.
Only opener Jack Edgar (43) put up a fight for the Bees, who were rolled for 102 thanks to Matthew Dowse (4-26) and James McNichol (3-9), before a 22-ball 34 by Matthew Baxter saw Morley home four down. A place above Morley, Lightcliffe will be looking over their shoulder after table toppers Hanging Heaton knocked off their Alex Stead (84) inspired 214.
Fellow opener Ian Philliskirk scored 49, whilst Gary Fellows (4-43) and Muhammed Rameez (3-57) toiled for the leaders, who made light work of the chase thanks to Fellows (85*),
Nick Connolly (82) and Richard Foster (31*).
Whoever goes down will be accompanied by Scholes, who lost out to Pudsey St Lawrence. Mark Robertshaw batted through the innings for 106* and skipper James Smith plummeted seven maximums in a 42-ball 73 to post an unassailable 281-5. Tom Hudson took 5-21 as doomed Scholes were blown out for 109.
A second consecutive century for opener Aqeel Mukhtar took Batley a step closer to the Championship B title on Saturday as second-placed Yeadon slipped up at Liversedge.
Makhtar (103*) resisted the efforts of Mushtaq Ahmed (4-31) to bat throughout the innings but received little support from his team-mates, with only Tariq Mehboob getting going on his way to 41. Their 195-8 was always going to be a test for a Baildon side with only 16 batting points this year, and their reply stuttered at regular intervals thanks to Aqsad Ali's 4-31, only Jonny Reynolds (38) and Mounam Ejaz (38*) threatening.
And Batley had two other openers to thank as Liversedge's top two put on 125 en route to surpassing Yeadon's 176-7. Batting first, Yeadon recovered from 61-5 thanks to Zach Wheatley (59*) and captain Oliver Halliday (30), but it was Mark Hydes (62*) 125-run opening stand with the in-form Jessie Dinnie (74) that did the damage along with Jonathan Trevitt (30*).
At the bottom of the table, Birstall moved away from danger thanks to the bowling of Alex Debs's 5-42 and Alex Drake's 4-30, bowling Hunslet Nelson out for 99. Skipper Craig Wood batted through for 48*.
It's looking increasingly likely that Idle will be following Aire Wharfe-bound Saltaire out of the league after they crashed out by four wickets to stay bottom of the pile. Four wickets apiece for Ijaz Khan and Tanzeel Altaf did the damage for Saltaire before Amjid Hussain's 19-ball 44 and Adeel Ashraf's unbeaten 48 took their side up to fifth.
Elsewhere Ossett hammered third-placed Undercliffe by 103 runs thanks to Shabir Rashid's 122*.
In Championship B, Townville have one step in the Premier League after a fine team performance saw them surpass Altofts' 176. Matthew Holstein's 63 was Altofts' only answer to Jack Hughes (4-38) and Conor Harvey (4-46) before Matthew Bremner (63*) and Jonathan Booth (63) saw the champions-to-be home.
There were no shocks at Wrenthorpe as they saw off bottom side Hartshead Moor by eight wickets. Greg Wood (5-28) and Matthew Race (4-40) rolled Moor for 136 before Darryl Hendricks's 81 helped the home side home inside 19 overs.
Bankfoot leapfrogged Gomersal into third thanks to Neil Nicholson (55) and Marupuri Suresh (4-47), whilst Bowling Old Lane had Adal Islam (6-27) and Sadaqat Zaman (4-33) to thank as they wiped out Hopton Mills for just 62.
Methley's 269-4 was always going to be too much for Spen Victoria, who were dismissed for 151. Hamid Khan (91) top scored for Methley, before Grant Soames took 5-19.
Elsewhere, 40s for Stephen Cooper, Farukh Allam, Ismail Patel and Tom Taylor saw Carlton to 220-5 before Allam (4-43) took the ball to see off Brighouse for 159.

As we have moved into the second week of our stars or stripes challenge over at Crafty Boots Challenges I thought I'd share a birthday card that I have made for a friend who is celebrating her birthday at the weekend:
Did I mention that she also has three cute ginger cats? These kooky kitties are by Kira Nichols for Stampotique. There are actually four on the stamp and it was very difficult to decide which one was left on the sidelines. The cats were coloured with Promarkers.
The pile of presents is Daniel Torrente's Piling Things for Stampotique. I've coloured the parcels with Poloychromos and decoupaged them – I think there are four layers in total. Cats and parcels were applied with glue gel to give dimension.
The Stampotique stars you will recognise from yesterday, I added a little colouring and some crystal clear glitter.
I added some stamping and inking around the edges and finally, and with huge risk of mucking the whole thing up, the sentiment.
Today is one of the days when I would really rather stick my head under the duvet and pretend it's not happening. Now if I were I cat, I could do just that!
Thanks for buzzing by.

Senator Omo-Agege defeats Senate again as high court refuses stay-of-execution order
A federal High Court sitting in Abuja has rejected a stay-of-execution order requested by the Senate against a previous ruling of the court regarding the suspension of a Delta state Senator, Ovie Omo-Agege.
Premium Times reports that Justice Nnamdi Dimgba had nullified the suspension of Omo-Agege after faulting the decision of Senate to slam a lengthy suspension on the senator.
We gathered that the Senate indicated its willingness to appeal the ruling and applied for a stay-of-execution order.
It was gathered that the senator's lawyer, Alex Iziyon, on Wednesday, May 16, confirmed the decision, saying, "it is true."
Giving details of the refusal of the court to grant the request, Omo-Agege's media aide, Efe Duku, said the judge ruled that the application sought by the Senate bordered on the initial motion filed by Omo-Agege.
It said the court ruled that the said motion by Omo-Agege was actually refused, hence the motion against it was considered not meritorious.
He said: "Justice Nnamdi Dimgba refused the application on the chief ground that, strictly speaking, there is no appeal against his decision nullifying the suspension.
"That the appeal before him is against the reliefs of the plaintiff that is: Senator Omo-Agege which were not granted not granted by the court. In the circumstance, he held that the application lacked merit and struck same out."

Answer to Question #9887 Submitted to "Ask the Experts"
Category: Security Screening
The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field:
Occasionally I receive packages at work (usually paper since I work for a company that makes paper coatings) that are marked "Checked by X-ray" or more recently a big red sticker that says "X-ray: Tick after X-Ray" with a check box.
Why do shipping companies need to notify recipients that a package has been x rayed or needs to be x rayed? Is there a difference between when a package has a large red "X-ray" sticker or a green "Inspected by X-ray" sticker?
There are two reasons for the stickers and one reason for the different colors.
The primary reason for the stickers even being on the packages is part of a general "consumer right-to-know" act passed by Congress in the 1980s. The main thought behind it was to provide more transparency/consumer information regarding hazardous materials and how they are used. It was really meant for such things as packaging on vegetables and fruits that pesticides were used or if you could be exposed to something as a result of the factory down the street, but impacted a lot more than that. The most important reason for you to know that your materials are being x rayed is in the event the product is sensitive to radiation (e.g., photographic film). In that case, whoever is shipping the product to you needs to label the shipment "Do not x ray."
The usual reason for different colors is the different uses of the radiation. In one case (red), sterilization of the product inside is implied. In the other case (green), smaller amounts of radiation were used just to take a look inside the package without having to open it. The latter is more a security item. It appears, though, that in the case you describe, both the red and the green simply mean the contents were looked at—not sterilized. If that is the case, it simply might be that the companies who do the screening are updating their labels and the different color just means that it's a newer version of the label.

The high-end names in real estate that help to sell ultra prestige homes
There are particular names behind the creation of Melbourne's mansions that cause a quick draw of the chequebook from multi-millionaire buyers.
Certain interior designers, architects, landscapers and stylists have the golden touch – their input on glamour projects, which are mostly concentrated in the leafy eastern suburbs, can command the big bucks.
Wealthy buyers of ultra prestige property – classed as above $10 million in Melbourne, and a lot more than that sum in Sydney – speak their own language.
Names like interior designer Thomas Hamel, landscape designer Paul Bangay and architects Allan Powell, Nicholas Day and Stephen Jolson, and the Carr Design Group, carry enormous weight when talking about buying and selling within the highest strata of the market.
In the plush world of luxury interiors, the late Stuart Rattle will always have cachet with well-to-do buyers.
The designer was murdered by his partner in 2013, and mourned by Melbourne society. Rattle's clients included the who's who of business – a roll call of executives at the Paris end of Collins Street, who had a taste for his signature opulence.
Rattle put his touch on 10 St Georges Road in Toorak, which is on the market with agency Kay & Burton.
Architect Marcus Martin designed homes in Toorak and South Yarra between the 1920s and '50s. One of his creations, at 205 Kooyong Road, is for sale and, although looking a little tired, his trademarks are a drawcard for buyers wanting a true Melbourne trophy home.
Stephen Jolson is an architect whose commissions come from the top-end of town.
His striking 20 Linlithgow Avenue in Toorak is expected to sell for about $15 million. Its showpiece is a three-storey void at the entrance, stretching from the basement indoor swimming pool.
Architect Nicholas Day's name often pops up in luxury listings. He is responsible for several homes for sale across Melbourne's blue ribbon belt, including Toorak's 10 St Georges Road, 2/23 Tintern Avenue, 10 Woorigoleen Road, 1A Cleeve Court and another home near the Kooyong Village that is so exclusive, its address been omitted from the listing.
Marshall White's Peter Bennison, who is selling the undisclosed Toorak home, said like buying a Mercedes Benz, highest-end house hunters are especially drawn to properties by Day.
"Without doubt, it is the start of people thinking, 'if he has done it, it must be good'," Mr Bennison said.
"They have the right gardens, the right pool – the right accessories to go with it. The accessories are naturally all of those things you'd expect. It is like going to a top of the range restaurant – presentation is always right.
"When you buy a Prada dress, you know what you are getting."
Mr Bennison said Paul Bangay is a very strong name in prestige property circles.
Bangay, the green thumb to the top-end of town, has created the gardens for the Melbourne property which is speculated to smash the Victorian $26 million real estate sales record.
At 4 Robertson Street, Toorak, the home owned by businessman Tony Smorgon and his wife Jennifer has a 25-metre pool at the rear and an outdoor fireplace, under a vine-draped terrace, in the secluded front garden.
The property, listed by Marshall White's Marcus Chiminello, hit the market on Saturday.
The furniture, which is being sold with the property, has been curated by Thomas Hamel, who is in demand around the world.
Kay & Burton agent Michael Gibson said select names in luxury property circles have "selling power" for the vendor.
"They get their reputations because of their beautiful work, so I think these people have a genuine following in the marketplace," Mr Gibson said.
"When we have a property that has had the influence of someone who is well known, we would always put that name in any marketing material and there is a reason for that, because it is a drawcard."

Haitian Revolution
In the late eighteenth century, enslaved people in Saint-Domingue, the French colony that became Haiti, rose up against their colonial masters and gained their freedom and independence. Haiti became the first fully free society in the Atlantic world and the second independent nation in the Americas (after the United States). Understanding the Haitian Revolution is crucial to understanding the course of world history and the history of the Americas. It is also essential to understanding Haiti today. Through readings, maps, digital activities, and simulations, students consider the development of the American colonial world and the legacies of the only successful slave revolt in the history of the world.

Surely you often encounter during your physical examination. The doctor will use several different equipment, such as a blood pressure device designed to measure your blood pressure, the ophthalmoscope used for examining the eyes; Stethoscopes that doctors use to listen to the heartbeat of the patient, and other tools that doctors use to examine other inside parts of the body from the outside. Click here for more information
In addition, there are many other doctors' equipment names that you need to know to add insights and other functions of physician equipment that are important to you to know.
Some General Doctor Tools
Stethoscope: This equipment you often see when you visit a doctor and become a common symbol of the medical profession
One type of medical device is found in the plains of Paris to listen to the heartbeat of patients. At first this tool is very rarely used in doctors in his time because this tool looks weird, but gradually this tool is needed and its function is very important. The original version of this equipment was originally made of wood and as the times progressed it changed into a made of iron and hearing aids. The doctor uses this tool when he wants to hear sounds issued by the liver, intestines, and fetal heartbeat.
Otoscope: This tool is another tool you often find when you visit a doctor and used to test your health.
Otoscope, for ENT
This tool has a cone-like shape on the end that serves to check the inside of your ear. This tool is used to check the patient's ear canal. This tool will give a small air breeze to the patient's eardrum to see if the patient's eardrum is vibrating or not. This checks to check whether the vibration of the patient's eardrum is normal or not. This examination can also determine whether a patient's eardrum has damage or not.

Badger: That's a fine enameled emblem, in very good condition, although the finish plating seems to have worn off. I have never seen this one, nor does the design remind me of any car in particular. I wouldn't rule out some sort of appliance or machine emblem either. Hopefully someone out there has an idea! -Toni
