Wood-Neck Coffee Maker
The wood-neck nel drip coffee maker is a classic model of a simple drip carafe. The wood neck allows for cool handling and the word "nel" refers to "flannel" which is the unique fabrication for the filter. This coffee making method is as clean as using a Chemex but the result is denser and more viscous. Imported from Japan this model is rare in the US and makes 3-4 cups.

Apple has released the second beta of iOS 6.1 to developers, with Map Kit enhancements and Passbook improvements, alongside a new Apple TV software beta and a new preview of Xcode 4.6.
The iOS 6.1 beta 2 is known as build 10B510c, and is compatible with all iPads except the original, the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 3GS, and the fifth- and fourth-generation iPod touch.
The second beta arrived little more than a week after Apple released the first iOS 6.1 beta to developers, and an iOS 6.0.1 update to the public, bringing bug fixes and minor improvements to Apple's latest mobile operating system.
Developers have said that the first beta of iOS 6.1 was relatively stable, but there some crashing issues did occur when using the camera's panorama mode, reports Apple Insider.
The latest build of iOS 6.1 adds further improvements to the Map Kit framework that allows third-party developers to use Apple's Maps service to search for map-based addresses and points of interest.
Apple has also added a note to help beginners get to grips with Passbook, the virtual wallet that was introduced with iOS 6 in September. While Passbook is largely redundant in the UK at present, it looks set to be making its way into our lives, and British Airways has said that it wants to join Apple's e-ticketing scheme "as soon as we can".

Detroit: Fight the Banks Save Jennifer's Home!
The big banks have been waging war on Detroit's neighborhoods, leaving homeless families and blighted, vacant homes in their wake. The banks' ongoing campaign of fraud, corruption, and greed has caused senseless destruction across Michigan, and in Detroit most of all. Jennifer Britt's story is one egregious example of this terrible phenomenon.
Jennifer Britt and her husband Leon purchased their home on the Northwest side of Detroit in 1999 and signed a mortgage agreement with Flagstar Bank. In 2001, Leon asked the bank how he could lower his $1,200 a month mortgage payments. The bank told him it would lower his payments if he refinanced his mortgage. After Leon refinanced, Flagstar only lowered the payments to $1,050 a month. Leon eventually was forced into bankruptcy and the mortgage went into default.
Leon died in 2006. Jennifer didn't find out that her home's mortgage was in default until she found a notice on her door that her home had been foreclosed on and that it would be sold at sheriff's sale in a month. Flagstar told Jennifer that if she paid them $26,000 in late payments and fees, they would call off the foreclosure. Jennifer used the money that she received from Leon's life insurance policy to pay Flagstar the entire $26,000.
Flagstar now demanded $1,550 a month. Jennifer tried to work out a modification of the mortgage agreement with the bank to lower the monthly payments to something more reasonable, but the bank refused to work with her because her deceased husband's name was on the mortgage agreement and not hers. When Jennifer told them that her husband was deceased and that she inherited the house, the bank told her that they might change the mortgage agreement to include her name if she continually paid the monthly payments on time. Jennifer paid the monthly payments for over two years, but the bank continued to refuse to talk to her.
Jennifer lost her job in June of 2008, and Flagstar raised her mortgage payments to $1,750 a month that July, then to $1,950 a month in September. Jennifer continued to pay her mortgage payments until she had no savings left in November of 2009.
The bank foreclosed on her in 2010. Fannie Mae, a bank operated by the federal government, took over the mortgage and took Jennifer to court to evict her. She tried to fight the foreclosure in court, but she didn't have an attorney to represent her and the legal firm working for the bank out-maneuvered her in court. She could now face eviction any day.
When a local nonprofit organization called Southwest Solutions offered to purchase the home from Fannie Mae at its appraised value and sell it to Jennifer on favorable terms, Fannie Mae refused. It wants $120,000 for a house worth 1/12th that amount.
Jennifer Britt was hit by tragedies and set-backs that could happen to anyone. The bank strung Jennifer along for years, extracting thousands of dollars from her, while refusing to lower her monthly payments to a reasonable amount because of a technicality outside her control.
Jennifer lives in her home with her son, daughter, mother, and uncle. She now works two jobs and could make reasonable mortgage payments if the bank agreed to work with her. There is no reason why Jennifer and her family should be evicted from their home, only to leave another vacant house in Detroit.
Occupy Detroit and other organizations and community members have organized to defend Jennifer Britt from eviction through a public campaign. Through the power of protest, public pressure, and direct action, the people have stopped unjust foreclosures like this before. We can and must do it again. Join us as we continue and broaden the defense of Detroit from corporate greed. All are invited to our weekly committee meetings on Thursdays at 6 p.m. at 5900 Michigan Avenue.
Foreclosures and evictions only hurt our communities. Detroit doesn't need more empty houses or more people without homes. And the banks certainly don't need more money. Together we can save our neighborhoods and put an end to foreclosures and evictions.
Together we will defend the home that Jennifer and her family live in from a heartless and unnecessary eviction. This is part of the ongoing national campaign to stop foreclosures and evictions. We demand that Jennifer's family have a home to live their lives in with dignity. This is a basic right of all people.

1968 Jeep J2000 Dana 44 Install - Project J2008, Part IVPosted in Project Vehicles on November 21, 2008
Hello, and welcome to another installment of our continuing saga to turn a rattle-clap '68 J2000 we purchased for $800 into a safe, economical, and comfortable highway cruiser, as well as a capable camping rig and weekend hauler.
Last time, we followed the techs at M.I.T. in El Cajon, California, as they put the full rebuild on a pair of Dana 44 axles. In case you missed it, Cappa donated the rear '73 Dana 44 from his J2000 and an '83 Dodge 1/2-ton Dana 44 front he had lying around. The only thing he asked in return was the assurance that our old axles wouldn't mysteriously appear on his front doorstep. While we never actually made that promise, we did put in a call to Rubicon Express and PSC Motorsports for some supplies we knew we'd need when M.I.T. swapped out our tired two-piece Dana 44 rear and 19-spline, closed-knuckle Dana 44 front for the more modern axles.
In addition to a really sweet line of suspension components, Rubicon Express has a whole section of its Web site and print catalog dedicated to builder's stuff. With brackets and mounts, high-misalignment suspension joints, brake lines, spring perches, and a ton of other parts, we can spend hours dreaming up stuff to do with the items listed in the Rubicon Express Builder's Section. And when it comes to easy, one-stop shopping for steering components, PSC Motorsports is the cat's meow. Since we knew our stock steering setup wouldn't work with the new Dodge axle, we put in a call to PSC for one if its beautifully crafted, heavy-duty tie rod and drag link kits. The kit includes everything you need to build your steering linkage bombproof the first time.
And of course, we've got to give a huge shout of thanks to M.I.T. in El Cajon for making it all come together. Technicians Christian Garcia and Andy Thomas turned our axle swap around in a day so we could drive the truck home that night. Here's how they did it. Next time we'll be yanking the tired 232 engine and drivetrain for a more modern powerplant.

I didn't really want to admit it for a while; but, when my guild got into Heroic modes, I had a feeling it would happen. I'm no longer playing Frost.
But, as it happens, it wasn't because I needed to play Fire or Arcane to stay competitive; in actuality, my Frost DPS was just fine. Actually, it was because we needed a healer.
Just as we stepped into Heroic modes, two of our three main raid healers quit the group. Most of our raid can heal, but I stepped forward and took the job.
Now we're 4/8 H, and Hagara's days are numbered. But, unfortunately, it looks like my Frost Mage is going to be on hold until Cataclysm.
What I'm wondering is, what does this mean for Ice Blog? I know I have like, zero readers; but, the significance of my chronicles of Frost Maging are to document competitive PvE play of what's considered one of the least competitive (if not THE least competitive) PvE spec in World of Warcraft. When Mists of Pandaria launches, all that changes - theoretically, every spec should be even, and players won't be forced to change specs because they will be thousands of DPS behind if they don't.
Will Ice Blog be relevant in a game where, theoretically, the best players can play competitive Frost (as opposed to right now, where they rank on World of Logs by having Dragonwrath and a full set of heroic gear)? I guess only time will tell.
As for right now, here are my current thoughts on the state of MoP's Frost. Now, admittedly, I haven't played in the Beta yet; but, here's what I know:
Frost is looking to change dramatically. Now, it looks like Haste will be our most important secondary stat. Not only is Frost Armor going to grant us Haste, but they are encouraging us to stack Haste by making Frost Bomb's cooldown and countdown scale down with Haste rating. This also allows the game designers to keep Icy Veins in its current state while synergizing with Frost PvE much better than it was before.
Now, I can't say whether or not rolling Nether Tempest/Living Bomb on just a few targets will roll in tons and tons of Brain Freeze procs (though I suspect they might); however, I can tell you that with Frost's resource management grossly oversimplified (Brain Freeze can't benefit from Fingers of Frost, Deep Freeze can't deal damage anymore), it's going to be a simple matter of finding out whether Ice Lance of Frostfire Bolt deals more damage. After that, our rotation is going to be quite simple:
1 Pet Freeze
2. Frozen Orb
3. Bomb (refresh)
4. (Ice Lance/Frostfire Bolt - whichever one does more damage)
5 (Frostfire Bolt/ Ice Lance - whichever one does less damage)
6. Frostbolt.
This might look similar to our rotation right now; but, with Fingers of Frost only interacting with one spell in our rotation instead of three, and Brain Freeze having no synergy with Fingers of Frost, it's going to be a case of "Casting (spell-x) is always better than (spell-y), all the time." It'll just be a matter of which "Bomb" talent to take.
Crit Cap looks like it's going possible in MoP; but, we'll have to reforge for a lot more Crit to get it (31.05% after raid buffs; so, 21.05% with Crit buff + Molten Armor, and 26.05% with just Crit buff....this is, of course, assuming Food/Flask/Kings). On the other hand, if it winds up being the best way to play the spec, we won't have to depend on having Warlock/Fire Mage to be competitive. In fact, Mages bring the crit buff, AND 10% Spell Power so we apparently won't have to depend on anyone!
If crit really does become the way to go, it probably won't be a viable gearing option until the second raiding tier (That was the first time *I* was able to get such high amounts of crit in my gear...even though I didn't really need it), so only time will tell. But, regardless of what the optimal stat weights are, Frost's rotation appears to have been dumbed down dramatically.
Here's what I'm predicting/hoping will happen, come patch 5.0: Frost will be competitive. It will be as good as Fire and Arcane. Maybe even...better? And, to boot, it'll be much easier than Fire, and even Arcane. In fact, it'll be so easy that it needs to be nerfed...but wait!

(visited by Stephan Theriault)
03-Jan-2007 -- This second confluence of the day was a bit trickier than the first one.
After driving as close to the place itself, I went to the closest farm I found and asked if I could go and do what I normally do. Even though it seemed like a strange idea to the owner, he agreed but asked to come with me, which was perfectly fine.
We drove along on his property, sometimes in circles, just to come to a boundary fence. He then explained to me that the other side of the fence was his neighbor's property and that's where the confluence was, up there on the hill, no more than a couple hundred metres.
I drove him back to his house and he told me where the owner of the land "next door" lived. I went and found him (Mr Owen) and he was an equally pleasing man who found the idea interesting and had no problem letting me go on his land and even gave me a few pointers as to where I could drive so I would have as little walking as possible to do.
I got there and had to walk a little under a kilometre on sloping terrain. After finding the place without any trouble, I got my camera out to take a picture but the battery was flat. I had left the camera turned on after my first confluence hunt in the morning. Tried the spare rechargeable batteries but they were also flat. I went back to the car and recharged them for half an hour while listening to the Aussies flogging the English cricket team in their quest to regain the ashes. So I went back to the spot, took my pictures and went back home to my family, an hour later than expected due to my silly mistake in the morning.
Another lesson learned but a confluence gained nonetheless.

Last week, Olivia Culpo visited Rhode Island. If you don't know her by name, then perhaps you know her by title; Culpo is the 2012 Miss USA.
The Cranston native won the Miss Rhode Island pageant in September, and then took the title of Miss USA in June. She was the first Rhode Islander to ever be crowned Miss USA.
So it's no wonder Rhode Island pulled out all the stops for her homecoming last week. Culpo was featured in the Bristol Fourth of July Parade, on television shows and even received keys to Johnston and Cranston.
Park Avenue was shut down on Friday to make room for a celebration held in front of Cranston City Hall, where Culpo was presented with roses, a key to the city and a tree in her honor. The elementary and high school bands played, dignitaries gave speeches and people gathered to catch a glimpse of her.
Whenever someone gets bathed in limelight, there are those that are bound to ask, "What's all the fuss about?"
Recently, pageants have been getting a bad reputation. Shows like "Toddlers and Tiaras" cast a negative light on the competitions, which some say promote the wrong ideals.
And that's why Culpo is so refreshing. A natural beauty, Culpo possesses poise, eloquence and grace. She's the girl next door who knows what to say and how to say it. It was her answer to a question about transgender pageant contestants that some speculate won her the crown.
In person, her presence is magnetizing, and her homecoming was evidence of that.
On Friday morning, youngsters sat captivated while Culpo read "The Giving Tree." When she was finished, she encouraged all of them to give and share with their friends later that day. Then she said she would give all of them something: an autograph. The kids lined up and patiently waited their turn, and the adults in the room were just as eager and anxious to get closer to Culpo. Even members of the media turned their cameras around to get photos of themselves with the newly-crowned Miss USA.
Sure, Culpo is a celebrity now, but her roots in Rhode Island run deep, and that's what makes her real.
Her family, a humble bunch that shares her good manners and equally good looks, are proud of Culpo's success. Her mom, Susan, a Cranston native, said it's thrilling to have her daughter, now wearing the Miss USA sash, back in her hometown to visit. Even her siblings are supportive and excited for their sister's nearly-overnight fame.
As people cheered, applauded and struggled to muster up the courage to ask for a photo or autograph, it's hard to imagine that Culpo was once just another Cranstonian.
But why shouldn't people admire her now? She's a great example of how the right combination of hard work, class and intelligence can get you far.
So what's wrong with making a fuss about that?
Look at the smile she put on Fung's face!

Had a little light shower come through here just a few minutes ago here on Hollywood hill, Woodinville. Nothing in my gauge though. And you know what? June is going to go down as one of the DRIEST months so far this year in many places I bet.
This month so far, I have only received .02" of rain. That is DRY! July in normally one of the driest months, so we`ll have to see what it brings.

I live in White Center about 3 miles as the crow flies from SeaTac. It just started to sprinkle here. I don't think we're going to break the record now.

Trace reported at the airport from 10:07pm to 10:53pm, but light rain reported. The streak still stands, but it is on the ropes...
Does the official climate report go through midnight DST or midnight Standard Time?

It looks like Sea-Tac set the record - only a trace reported the past couple of hours.

- Hair Bob said...
What is the "official" stance on when records are set? The SEA daily climate summary appears to be posted after 00 UTC, but most of the commentary on the dry spell refers to midnight local time, or even one TV station talking about 1:00 AM...?
It could make a difference, as we almost saw last evening when showers moved through after 00 UTC (5 PM PDT) but before local midnight.

0.01" officially reported yesterday. The record was only tied at 29 days. The first time the ASOS reported measurable rainfall was between 12:53am and 1:13am PDT (11:53pm and 12:13am PDT). I'm thinking the climate reports do in fact use Standard Time (which was my thinking), meaning the day ended at 1am Daylight Time.
If this is the case, then we missed the record by enough rain falling in that last seven minutes to total 0.01" for the evening before 1am.
Is this correct?
- June 19, 2009 at 5:14 AM
- Nicholas said...
Confirmed... climate data is based on Standard Time for the entire year.
So we lost the chance to break the record by seven minutes.
Cliff didn't know how foretelling his "No! It Can't End This Way" headline would become... I'm sure even he didn't imagine it would be lost in the final seven minutes of the 30th day...

Neck Round Elephant Chic Sweatshirt Balloon Sleeve Long Loose Pattern Visa (V) is poised to benefit from the growing trend of cashless transactions around the world mainly driven by increased mobile and Internet penetration and rapidly growing e-commerce as well as POS (point-of-sale) transactions. Decreased cost of digital payment acceptance is another factor that could fuel Visa's growth. According to a research report from Statista, the total global digital payments transaction value is likely to reach ~$5.41 trillion in 2022 from ~$2.75 trillion in 2017.
Improving GDP growth, a healthy job market, and steady wage growth have increased the disposable income of consumers, thereby giving them greater spending power. The US GDP grew 4.1% in the second quarter of 2018, which was almost double the 2.2% increase registered in the first quarter. The growth rate was the highest since the third quarter of 2014.
Visa stock (V) has sparkled over the last one and half years. Year-to-date, Visa stock has returned ~25%, much better than the iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (IYG) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which are up 5.6% and 8.3%, respectively. Visa's revenues and earnings per share (or EPS) have topped the Wall Street estimates in the last eight quarters and seen a significant YoY improvement.
Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google has partnered with Mastercard (MA) on a program that could help it push back against Amazon (AMZN) in the digital advertising market. Amazon has been mentioned as a growing threat to both Google and Facebook (FB) in the advertising business.
While the disruptive and innovative blockchain technology continues to find increasing use across multiple business sectors, a lot of patents are being filed for developing unique, new-age blockchain-based systems and applications to get the early mover advantage. Among the companies leading the drive to build blockchain-based applications, Jack Ma's Chinese conglomerate Alibaba Group Holding Inc. ( BABA), along with its affiliate companies, ranks first, with a total of 90 patent filings that are focused on blockchain-related technologies. The leading information technology company, International Business Machines Corp. ( IBM), comes a close second with 89 patent applications.
Mastercard (MA)'s strategy looks set to have a positive impact on its stock price performance. The company is investing heavily in its product offering, while broadening the range of services that it offers. With the overall prospects for the global economy being strong, the stock could therefore offer capital growth potential.
MasterCard Inc.'s ( MA) stock may continue its monster rise. The analysts aren't the only ones that are bullish on the stock. Options traders are also betting the stock rises by more than 5% by the beginning of next year.

SEC meetings end with little scheduling resolution
DESTIN, Fla. – The Southeastern Conference wrapped up its annual spring meetings Friday with very little resolution regarding future football schedules.
School presidents and chancellors delayed a decision about potentially moving to a nine-game league schedule. As expected, they agreed that 2014 and 2015 slates will follow the current 6-1-1 model, with teams playing six division opponents, one permanent, cross-division rival and one rotational game against the remaining six teams.
The SEC might switch to a nine-game schedule in 2016. If so, the league would join the Big Ten, the Pac-12 and the Big 12.
The SEC also announced a record payout of approximately $289.4 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year, giving each school $20.7 million. That number is expected to rise significantly in two years, after the launching of the SEC Network.

'Open' Vs. 'Public' Data -- The Big Difference
You can have access to terabytes of "public" data, but it may be next to useless. That was one of the lessons of the recent "Aid Challenge 2010" Data Camp at the World Bank Institute which explored ways to use data to make development aid more effective.
Doug Hadden, Vice President/Products at the financial management software company FreeBalance, explained:
"The major difference between open and public data is [that with open data] you have the ability to re-use it. Data in document format is effectively useless. By making [data] open...people can analyze, compare, and benchmark it, and find patterns that you did not realize."
The day-long event -- a mixture of BarCamp, ignite talk, and hackathon -- brought together developers, data producers and visualizers, and practitioners and other members of the development community to give a big push to the gathering effort to bring more transparency to what governments do in their aid development programs.

Chugiak football blanks Bartlett
Gabe Mingledorff had two interception returns for touchdowns to lead Chugiak past Bartlett 28-0 on Saturday at Anchorage Football Stadium to keep the Mustangs' playoff hopes alive.
Chugiak, which improved to 2-4 in Cook Inlet Conference play, hosts a must-win game against East (3-3) on Friday, Sept. 27 in the regular season finale. If Chugiak prevails and Dimond (3-3) loses to South the following day, the Mustangs, T-Birds and Lynx will each finish 3-4 tied for the fourth CIC playoff spot.
"We still got a shot," Mustangs' head coach Duncan Shackelford said.
But, he said, the T-Birds are a tough football team.
"East is one of those teams that can scare you to death," Shackelford said. "They're fast and big."
Chugiak approached Saturday's matchup as a postseason game, Mingledorff said.
"This was our first playoff game," he said.
Mingledorff's first pick six came just six plays after Chugiak fumbled possession away inside the red zone halfway through the opening quarter. Mingledorff snagged a pass from Bartlett quarterback Zyrelle Jones between his legs just a few feet off the turf and managed to stay on his feet and score on a 35-yard return.
"I got it and ran as hard as I could," Mingledorff said.
Late in the third quarter, Mingledorff took a 91-yard interception return to the end zone to seal the game for Chugiak.
A diving Mingledorff nearly got his third pick of the game on Bartlett's next possession.
"It was just a good day for me," Mingledorff said.
David Mayhew threw two touchdown passes for the Mustangs. He connected with Tyler Rohde on a 39-yard strike early in the second quarter, and then found an open Matt Oldenkamp for a 24-yard score three and a half minutes later.
While satisfied with a win over Bartlett, Shackelford said his team now has to focus on East.
"The guys need to know hard work starts Monday," he said.
The Mustangs know being prepared for the T-Birds will be key if they want a chance at making the playoffs, Mingledorff said.
"We'll be ready for them," he said.

"Clearly, the renewed slowdown in hiring underscores the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook. The lack of sustained, robust job growth continues to push out into the future the time for the housing market to heal, which is crucial to a meaningful economic expansion." –Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan.
It ain't pretty, and it sure ain't welcome, but as the old saying goes … when the going gets tough, the tough must just get going. And that – in all likelihood – is going to be one of trucking's mantras over the next few months, if not years, as slowing economic growth continues to breed uncertain portents for the future.
"The economy is struggling to regain the momentum lost since the beginning of 2011 as higher gasoline prices and supply-chain disruptions due to the Japan tragedy during the first half of the year combined to restrain growth," noted Fannie Mae's Chief Economist Doug Duncan (at right) in the firm's July 2011 Economic Outlook.
He said economic growth in the second quarter is estimated to have moved "at the same anemic 1.9% pace seen during the first quarter," though motor vehicle production is on track for a rebound and we've seen a decline in oil prices, which should encourage gross domestic product (GDP) growth of about 3% in the third quarter this year before slowing modestly in the fourth quarter.
Full-year growth is projected to slow to 2.4% this year, down from 2.8% in 2010, according to Fannie Mae.
Even manufacturing – the shining economic sector since this sluggish "recovery" supposedly began in mid 2009 – is now struggling.
In the second quarter, manufacturing output edged up at a 0.2% annual rate, down from a 7.2% pace in the first, noted Nigel Gault (below at left), an analyst with research firm IHS Global Insight, adding that core manufacturing output, excluding high tech and autos, slowed sharply in both May and June, increasing only 0.1%.
"The slowdown in manufacturing is one reason the economic outlook has dimmed," Gault said. "Others include the failure of housing to pick up in the first half, May's and June's miserable payroll numbers, and almost no second-quarter growth in real consumer spending. Based on the latest data, we now project that GDP grew only 1.6% in the second quarter—down from 1.9% growth in the first. And the ongoing game of chicken over the debt limit could make matters worse—a lot worse."
"The economy's inability to gain traction stems from continued uncertainty," added Fannie Mae's Duncan. "The ongoing European and U.S. sovereign debt issues may have a significant downside impact on the banking system and broader financial markets, both here in the U.S. and abroad."
Furthermore, housing – a central piece of the U.S. economic story – continues to add nothing to economic growth, with home sales expected to rise only slightly over last year's numbers. "And, two consecutive very poor employment reports have compounded issues for an already stressed labor market," Duncan said.
Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's vp and chief economist (below at right), didn't add much of a positive nature to the outlook with his firm's forecast, pointing out that non-farm payroll employment rose a scant 18,000, in June following a downward-revised 25,000 in May, while private sector job growth slowed to a measly gain of 57,000 gain for June – largely offset by the continued downsizing of state and local payrolls.
As a result – and as we all know by now – the U.S. unemployment rate ticked up for the third consecutive month to 9.2%, the highest in six months.
"Following June's labor market report, households are naturally concerned about their financial futures, which is being reflected in the housing market," Nothaft added. Yet he believes the single-family portion for the housing market will likely improve over the balance of 2011, in keeping with positive (albeit small) U.S. GDP growth forecasts.
"Home sales are expected to be up over 2010's pace, perhaps by 3% to 5%," he noted. "And after clear weakness in national price metrics through the first quarter, there are glimmers the second quarter will likely show gradual improvement over time."
Still, the global economy suddenly isn't looking all that healthy, either – and that's without bringing Greece's complicated deficit situation to the table.
Rising inflation and flat investment have kept the world's economic recovery stuck in reverse, at least in the opinion of those survey by the according the latest Global Economic Conditions survey conducted by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
Of the 2,186 ACCA members surveyed between mid-May and early June this year, only 26% reported increased confidence, down from 28% three months ago, with 57% saying that economic conditions are either deteriorating or stagnating, up from 51% only three months ago.
"While the rocketing inflation of the first quarter was not repeated in the second three months [of 2011], a greater proportion of those surveyed, 54% - up from 51% in the last quarter - reported an increase in operating costs," Manos Schizas, ACCA's senior policy adviser (below at left), pointed out. "This is double the number of respondents who mentioned inflation two years ago."
The group's survey also shows that rising costs are not just confined to the fastest-growing economies. While best performing markets Malaysia and Pakistan are leading the inflation league table, rising costs were also cited by 45% of respondents in Western Europe, which has been affected by the continent's debt crisis, still sits at the bottom of the ranking in terms of business confidence and economic optimism.
Businesses are also becoming increasingly unable to respond to the inflationary challenge through cost-cutting, according to ACCA's data. Around 30% of the survey respondents expect their governments to get spending decisions right in the medium-term, but 16.5% expect dangerous levels of over- or under-spending and this group has been growing every quarter since late 2009.
On top of all of this, access to finance has been tightening globally for the past six months – both growth capital and short-term liquidity. "This, combined with rising costs, now appears to be leading to an increase in the number of respondents who fear that customers (31%) or suppliers (15%) might go out of business, as well as those reporting problems with late payment (31%)," said Schizas.
And if you don't think that affects transportation and logistics, think again, for the group's poll found that the drop in activity in OECD [Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development] countries has for the last few months been trickling down the supply chain, first to the Asia-Pacific region and then to Africa.
"There are a number of concerns in the latest report, including that the loss of momentum in Asia and Africa has become particularly pronounced in the last few months," Schizas added.
"The limits of austerity are also being explored in Western Europe and a renewed tightening of credit and cash flow conditions could be on the cards, even as new orders and employment are beginning to recover," he noted. "If these new trends – coupled with high inflation and low investment – persist we would expect to see further instability in the near future."
None of this makes for pleasant reading, that's for sure. In the end, though, forewarned is forearmed, meaning carriers can at the very least start adjusting to what could be leaner freight flows down the road.

The Iscar products of the High Qline family of cutting tools offer an indexable milling Insert with an asymmetric shape. This insert opens up opportunities for reduction of vibrations in metalcutting.
The design of the one-sided insert HM90 ADCT 1505-CF follows a different approach compared with traditional milling inserts. The insert has different Helix angles on the two cutting edges, and the two edges are colored gold and black. The concept is to mount gold and black edges alternately, resulting in variable Helix configuration for the cutter.
This feature ensures significant improvement of the cutters' performance in shoulder milling by reducing vibrations. Typically, the tool life of the insert increases by 15-20 percent, and the power consumption is reduced by 10 percent or more.
This solution is ideally suited for less rigid setup, long overhang applications, thin-walled workpiece, problematic workholding, and so on.
The new asymmetric insert is suitable for the existing Heli-Mil family of milling cutters.
Simulating vibrations is difficult: It depends on many factors. In the design stage, simulation does not always help to find the geometry of a vibration-proof indexable milling cutter for broad-spectrum applications.

I have been surfing the net looking for questions relating to the movie to discuss orally in class but have come up empty handed. Can anyone advise of any sites for some sort of discussion questions or topics. The class age is 12-13 years old with a fairly good command of the English language. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I taught movies to some Korean teachers a few years back and had to come up with my own questions. I basically had to watch the movie 4-5 times before class and then with each class once in 20 minute sections followed by questions and discussion for 40 minutes. 5 classes of teachers I basically went crazy and can never watch the wedding singer again.

Direct mail connects with customers
Direct marketing delivers an extraordinary return on investment. According to the Direct Marketing Association, each $1 invested in non-catalog direct marketing produces an ROI of $15.55. Research shows that direct mail outperforms print, television, radio and Internet advertising. Why? Because direct mail marketing connects with customers.
Brian Fluke, VP Marketing Operations
Financial Center Federal Credit Union
Personalization, customization and timely turnaround are three keys to direct mail success. At VisionDirect, our marketing savvy and technical capabilities help our clients maximize the effectiveness of their direct mail projects - whether they're mailing 1,000 pieces or 1,000,000.
According to Pitney Bowes research, 34% of consumers surveyed said direct mail contributes most to keeping them informed and involved with a business - versus print advertising (30%), TV (25%), radio (5%), email (4%), and the Internet (2%). And unlike TV, print and radio, direct mail allows you to target your prospects.
Direct mail isn't intimidating – it's effective.
Versioning, list acquisition, database management, variable data; these are just a few terms in the language of direct mail. Don't let direct mail terminology or technology intimidate you. Direct mail is too effective to be ignored.
At VisionDirect, our mission is to make direct mail efficient, effective and easy for our clients. With almost 20 years of marketing and printing experience, we'll put our expertise in direct mail, database management, list services, digital printing, inkjet printing, variable data printing, high-speed inserting and fulfillment up against any competitor.
How does VisionDirect deliver exceptional direct mail results?
Database management and list services: The right prospect list is the most important ingredient for a successful direct mail campaign. Conversely, the wrong list — a list with too many low probability prospects — will almost ensure failure. Hand-in-hand with the right list comes list management. VisionDirect employs state of the art technology to manage our client's data. VisionDirect eliminates duplicate prospects and makes sure titles, names and addresses are correct. The result? Data that's clean and up to date and a direct mail campaign that's more efficient and more effective.
Variable data printing: Personalize! Personalize! Personalize! Next to having the right prospect list, no one factor is more important than personalizing your direct mail. The more you personalize, the greater your impact and the better your response rate. At VisionDirect, our variable printing and versioning tools allow our clients almost unlimited opportunity to personalize their communications.
Technology, tools and design that can make direct mail look like personal mail: According to the U.S. Postal Service, over 20% of all direct mail gets junked before it's opened. Why? Because the envelope hasn't been properly personalized or optimized. Handwritten fonts, live stamps, personalization and color are just four of the techniques VisionDirect uses to get your direct mail opened.
Digital printing: Digital technology allows VisionDirect to electronically create, store, and edit copy and graphics, eliminating costly steps for our clients and enhancing the look of their marketing materials. Digital printing is particularly cost-effective for short production runs.
Inkjet printing: State-of-the art Videojet and Buskro inkjet printers combine high-resolution printing and True-Type® fonts with features like extra-wide tabbing.
High speed inserting: You can increase response rates between 10% and 50%. Reply mailers, statement stuffers, premiums and coupons are four types of inserts that work well for VisionDirect clients. VisionDirect's Flowmaster FX and 12000 inserters are state-of-the-art intelligent inserters.
Matched mailings: Our matched mailing system automatically matches up to three personalized inserts at high speed. No "To Whom It May Concern" letters or generic content for each customer. Get personalized content at 100% accuracy with no mismatched material.
Print Services: We manage millions of dollars annually in print services, providing our clients a one-stop solution for all their print and direct mail needs.
How can VisionDirect help you?
Whether you're just starting your direct mail project – or ready to go to print – if you're looking for database management, digital printing, inkjet printing or high-speed insertions, VisionDirect has the expertise to make your direct mail marketing efficient, effective and easy.

Judy of Nevada Genealogy sent in this trick for navigating one of Ancestry.com's newest databases.
The just released California Voters Registration Lists at ancestry.com, cover a range of years. The exact year is not listed on each page so to determine the year for a given entry try the following. Load the image of the page which contains your searched name. Note the printed page number on the image. Divide by 2 [since each image contains 2 pages]. Subtract this number from the image number. Enter this new image number in the box and click "GO". You may still have to browse one or two pages more or less. It has worked for me so far but some counties may vary, and missing pages could mess up the calc.Thanks, Judy!

Man accused of groping at least 7 students
California police say the victims, ages 14 to 16, were walking to school in the morning when the incidents occurred
California police say the victims, ages 14 to 16, were walking to school in the morning when the incidents occurred
A man was arrested Thursday morning in connection with groping several high school students in south Modesto, police said.
A 15-year-old girl reported Jan. 31 that she was grabbed by a Hispanic man on a bicycle as she was walking to a school bus stop at Crows Landing Road and Butte Avenue, according to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.
Seven victims have been identified, but an investigation continues to determine if there are more. The ages of the girls range from 14 to 16-years-old.
Deputies on patrol, as well as detectives in unmarked vehicles, canvassed the area over the past of couple weeks looking for the man.
An undercover operation began Thursday morning when a female deputy posed as a student. She was walking about 7:20 a.m. on Butte Avenue toward a Glenn Avenue bus stop when a man on a bike rode up next to her and grabbed her buttocks, deputies said.
The man began riding away, but the undercover deputy grabbed him and took him into custody. Additional deputies arrived and arrested the man, identified as Richard Garcia, 34, of Modesto, officers said.

- risk omission or minimization,
- superiority claims,
- overstatement of efficacy,
- unsubstantiated claims and
- broadening of indication
When Senak specifically looked at letters regarding pharma marketing videos (excluding TV DTC ad videos), he found that 80% of the violations concerned risk minimization (40%) or overstatement of efficacy (40%). Below is the remake of his pie chart of these data (for the original data see "Viewing Video's Regulatory Profile").
What's interesting is that these videos -- mostly patient and physician testimonials -- overstate efficacy at TWICE the average for all kinds of promotions (40% for videos vs. 21% for all ads, including video). Senak postulates that "when people talk about their own experiences with a treatment, [they] may include reference to outcomes that is not typical or supported by clinical data."
An example of a video that overstated efficacy was a video testimonial featuring Ty Pennington posted on youtube.com by Shire. FDA said "Both the webpage and video overstate the efficacy of Adderall XR; the video also omits important information regarding the risks associated with Adderall XR use."
The problem with FDA letters is they usually are sent well after the cow has walked through the open barn door! See, for example, "Vyvanse Warning Letter: Too Late! Shire Got Rid of Ty Pennington Long Ago!"

Corporate chieftains gathered in Davos, Switzerland this week see reason to be optimistic that the shale boom can reindustrialize the U.S. economy and drive not only U.S. but also global growth.
Cheap energy is the "bull case for the world," Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris told CNBC on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum this week.
"I think it's a game changer and I think it is probably the story of global economic recovery if handled right," he said. "And frankly, the beneficiaries of that will be the U.S. consumer and U.S. jobs."

JPMorgan lowers boom on fees from payday lenders
NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase (JPM) said Wednesday that it will take steps to protect its customers from fees and other charges that payday lenders may slap on them.
The bank said it will limit the fees that customers are charged when they overdraft their accounts to make payments to payday lenders.
- Federal Reserve stands by stimulus
- Freddie: 15 big banks rigged key interest rate
- Fed: Unemployment to remain high through 2014
It will also "enhance communication and require additional training" for employees, to make it easier for customers to stop payments. The bank will also make it easier for customers to close their accounts even when there are pending charges, including payday lender payments.
Payday lenders are a controversial sliver of the financial system. They offer short-term loans, usually targeting the cash-strapped poor. They have high interest rates, making it hard for customers to repay the loans, and the spiral worsens when the payday lenders charge extra fees.
JPMorgan and other mainstream banks do not make so-called payday loans. But they do allow the payday lenders access to their customers. The New York Times reported last month that JPMorgan, Bank of America (BAC) and Wells Fargo (WFC) allow payday lenders to automatically withdraw money from customers' accounts, even in states where payday lending is banned. In some cases, the Times reported, the banks allow lenders to tap checking accounts even after the customers have begged for a reprieve.
Ryan McInerney, the bank's head of consumer banking, said in a statement that the bank intended to protect customers from "unfair and aggressive collections practices."
"Some customers agree to allow payday lenders or other billers to draw funds directly from their accounts, but they may not know some of the aggressive practices that can follow," he said.
After the Times story last month, CEO Jamie Dimon described his reaction while speaking at the annual investor conference: "This is terrible, we're going to fix it."

Answers to Chief Ackley's accusations still critical
Three weeks before the Democratic primary in the New London mayoral race, Chief Margaret Ackley tossed a political hand grenade into the process. She confirmed that she had negotiated a secret agreement with the administration outlining the terms of her pending retirement. At an Aug. 24 special City Council meeting to discuss the severance deal, negotiated without even the council knowing, the chief in dramatic fashion pointed the finger directly at Councilor Michael Buscetto III as the reason she was probably leaving.
She alleged that Mr. Buscetto, head of the Public Safety Committee, was guilty of "unethical conduct, discriminatory treatment and improper systematic interference in the police department." The administration had known of her concerns about Mr. Buscetto and done nothing, she said. The chief also accused the Democrat of "making defamatory remarks to members of the police department about me" and said "he created an environment of hostility."
Chief Ackley, through her attorney, notified the city she was considering legal action for its alleged failure to deal with Mr. Buscetto's conduct. The man who was opposing Mr. Buscetto in the Sept. 13 primary, Daryl Justin Finizio, suggested the accusations were so serious that perhaps FBI involvement was appropriate. Mr. Buscetto, meanwhile, denied any wrongdoing and said he welcomed an investigation.
Mr. Finizio went on to defeat Mr. Buscetto in the Democratic primary and won the Nov. 8 general election. How much influence the controversy had on the results is impossible to say. It certainly did not help Mr. Buscetto.
Last week Mr. Finizio, who takes office Dec. 5, announced Chief Ackley would exercise an escape clause in her severance deal and remain police chief after all.
But what of the accusations that perhaps changed the course of a critical election and certainly benefited Mr. Finizio's candidacy? The public has the right to know whether the charges had substance. The incoming mayor has pledged his will be a transparent administration. This is his first test.
The current council, the last under a city-manager system, has never released the letter detailing Chief Ackley's allegations against Mr. Buscetto and the city. How exactly did Mr. Buscetto allegedly act in a hostile manner, interfere, defame and discriminate? The public still does not know.
Mr. Finizio should make it one of his first orders of business to release that letter. The Day has filed a complaint with the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission to obtain it. We are convinced it is a public record. Mr. Finizio's administration should not await the hearing.
Faced with a potential lawsuit, the outgoing City Council, including Mr. Buscetto, voted to hire former Superior Court Judge Beverly Hodgson to investigate Chief Ackley's allegations. The incoming administration must make public the report that the investigation produces. There may be sections or names that the city can justifiably expunge under exceptions to the FOI Act, but we see no provision that should keep the entire document closed.
It would be a mistake for the next administration to pull the plug on the investigation, ending the matter and leaving critical questions unanswered. At the press conference announcing that Chief Ackley will stay, Mayor-elect Finizio refused to comment on the matter or say how he will proceed.
Chief Ackley has already withdrawn an ethics complaint alleging that Mr. Buscetto, because of a conflict of interest, should not have participated in closed council discussions concerning her allegations. With Mr. Buscetto not returning to office, her attorney said the matter is moot. But that complaint was a technical detail when compared to the meat of the allegations that Judge Hodgson is digging into.
If Mr. Finizio's administration does not come clean on what this was all about, it will leave a troubling impression for many.
The incoming mayor also has internal matters to consider. Shortly after Chief Ackley leveled her allegations against Mr. Buscetto, the union leadership published a paid advertisement in The Day. The letter referred to morale problems and a department facing a "managerial crisis" under Chief Ackley's direction.
"She has now put our agency on the front page of the paper for what I think is either political or her own selfish goals," said union vice president Todd Lynch at the time. The union had endorsed Mr. Buscetto.
Those union concerms make it all the more important that the next mayor clear the air by disclosing the results of the investigation.
Alternatively, consider this sequence: The chief raises serious, but vague accusations against a candidate and threatens to retire; the accused candidate loses and his opponent becomes mayor; as mayor he keeps the chief in his administration and buries the investigation delving into the validity of her claims.
We trust the public, in the end, will not witness that scenario. Mayor-elect Finizio has promised his will be an open administration and we take him at his word. But words can be easy and actions difficult.
Take the right actions, Mr. Finizio; level with the public. Only then can the city truly move on from this troubling episode.
The editorial board is composed of the publisher and four journalists of varied editing and reporting backgrounds. The board's discussions and information gained from its meetings with political, civic, and business leaders drive the institutional voice of The Day, as expressed in its editorials. The editorial department operates separately from the newsroom.

I work 3rd shift from11:30pm -7:30am I don't eat breakfast except on the weekends does it mater if I eat something before I go to bed in the mornings or am I fighting a loosing battle .Also I'm trying to get 64oz. of water in a day should I keep track of it from the time I get up or in a 24hour time span?
The primary consideration for weight management is overall calorie intake for the day in relation to your physical activity. Since most of your activity takes place during the hours you are awake, it is best to consume more of your calories during that time since that is when you need the energy and nutrients. A light snack before bedtime, however, is not harmful. As far as keeping track of your water intake as well as your calorie intake, you would consider a 24 hour time span.
