FDNY Upgrades To Trellchem® VPS-FLASH As Their Standard Level A Suit
Fire Department City of New York (FDNY) has chosen to upgrade to Trellchem® VPS-FLASH as their standard Level A, fully encapsulated personal protective ensemble.
This unique reusable, single skin, one layer suit is made of a new patent pending garment material developed and produced by Trelleborg Protective Products. The material is a combination of specialized rubber and plastic laminates, together with a special woven fabric that forms a strong and flexible material, offering outstanding chemical flash fire protection. Additionally, this material exhibits excellent resistance to abrasion, punctures, tears and superior chemical resistance properties.
FDNY selected the Trellchem VPS-Flash due to its unique ability to withstand the harsh environments that it is used in. Along with standard features such as fogless lens, bayonet cuff system and hard visor, these suits are also equipped with a pass-through and tear-off lens to protect the visor from scratches. In addition, a customized inventory database is being developed specifically for the FDNY.
The Trellchem VPS-Flash is fully certified NFPA 1991-2005 with both the Flash Fire & Liquefied gas options. The ensemble can be donned quickly as it has only a single layer while the built-in flash protection along with superior abrasion resistance, allows FDNY members to perform their jobs with greater functionality and safety.
User's can request a demonstration of the suit by contacting Trellchem at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (800)344-4458.

Customer Support is superb, just had a very patient and informative chat with Nadav for example. Now I have to wait for the results.
Oneroot Honey
Simple and easy set it an forget it type system. Support is very good too. We've seen reasonable return on ad dollar spent - better than what we were able to get on our own.
Started this week with the onboarding and everything went smooth; perfect fit with Shopify. Checkup took a bit time but, brought two minor mistakes to our attention, which is good. System sets up complete new Google Ads and FB/Insta accounts so leaves all the old stuff as it was. Already having the first results in budgeting; waiting for the first results to get in ;-)

Teasing fragment from the vampires saga:
"I wonder how all these humans pass through life without being afraid of death. Afraid of becoming nothing or something completely different to their actual nature, that fulfilled their existence as humans. It is to me, terrifying and so hard to conceive that I find myself crying at night in the most dramatic way, at only the thought that one day, I will not be part of this whole thing we commonly call "world". Even those with strong faith, directed to a god or a demon, should be afraid of such a sudden ending to a form of existence that might be also the only form. Even those who believe in the immortality of their souls…souls that are so different without a hosting body, without material senses and feelings. Without matter at all, a soul is something so abstract, that I find it hard to accept and prefer to my human existance.
Especially at night, when the world is sleeping. All of it, in all its forms. When I am awake, scared, abused by my own ghosts, trying desperately to discover a shade of light in the deepest form of darkness, I panic. I freeze along with my thoughts, the ones that don't let my heart rest in peace, not even now, when I am nothing but a monster. I don't like this description but it is probably the most realistic one. As a monster, I am not human, but I am not the divine form that human souls embrace after death, or they hope they will do. I pass by each one of you every evening, unnoticed, unseen, unfelt. I observe you, learn to be like you again. I am a bystander of a world that rejected me as much as I would have loved to be part of it like I used to be. I am afraid of you more than you are of me. I know you exist; but you will never be sure I do too. However, if you would believe a little more in monsters like me, you wouldn't hesitate to ruin us. To apply all the legends that guided you along the centuries in matters of destroying a vampire and, if possible, all their species. I guess that makes sense, you destroy us before we destroy you. Isn't it how it works with everything you don't understand? Even with ghosts. As soon as a house is supposed to be hunted, you call all your religious army to exorcise it, to clean all the other forms of existence out of it, all of those that are not same as you: human. Demons are condemned with no right to defend themselves, in the name of a God you believe in so strongly, so blindly but so radically that everything that contradicts it must vanish. I guess that makes sense. It's a form of fear, and at that level I can really understand you. Happy those who don't know much, or anything at all. Those who can't understand and don't even try to understand beyond their daily life concerns, as minimalist as they are."

I bet you thought I was dead.
I am not.
I was banished.
Well, grounded. Which is like being banished. Except your parents or parental figures do it. If your parental figures happen to be royalty then it's basically the same thing as being banished. So I was banished.
I bet you also did not know if you ask a question in three separate comments from two different names but using the same IP address in between 3:15 and 3:25 pm EDT on this blog on Thursdays and if you put French in your second comment for no apparent reason, you will get something better than answer.
What you will get is a personal response from an Old One. If it's convenient and I'm not busy doing other important Eldritch things.
And you won't get my expressed gratitude. That's asking for too much. Especially when I see you have not brought me Skittles.
Behold... the invocation of the muse (that's me) to validate my presence here.
Hiiii, ummm random question.... i saw ur article http://blog.indigo.ca/teen/item/258-about-this-years-teen-read-awards.html#itemCommentsAnchor nd i was wondering..... so will there be a 2012 Teen Book Awards??
Hi! I was just wondering - I recently read your article: http://blog.indigo.ca/teen/item/258-about-this-years-teen-read-awards.html#itemCommentsAnchor And I'm being to know, will there be Teen Book Awards this yearr!?!?! Merci, for taking thev time to read and reply (that is if you do)

Hi, I saw your article: http://blog.indigo.ca/teen/item/258-about-this-years-teen-read-awards.html#itemCommentsAnchor And i was just wondering are they having a Teen Book Award this year!? thnks for answering
Salutations, Anonymous Unknown.
Thought my name was awful. Yours? Dire.
I go by Ethan sometimes. Do people ever call you Anony? I'm going to start right now, and then you can say people do. I'm not people, but you shouldn't say that an Old One who lives on the other side of your mirror calls you Anony. Won't go over well.
I feel a kinship with you beyond our mutually awful names, Anony. A kinship in how our random is not really random. A question about BOOKS on a post about TOTORO. I see what you did there. Books are made of paper. Paper comes from trees. Totoro is a tree spirit.
That's so not-random but made to look like it's random. And then you call it random so that people will think it is when it's an obvious logical subject linkage that makes absolute sense to anyone who isn't human.
Most of the readers of this blog are human. Half of us who check the comments are human, but she does enough impossible things to make her being human forgivable. You had a good chance of appearing to be successfully random.
Where you failed, dear Anony, is thanking me for answering. It betrays you know that I'll answer, which reveals that you're not random at all. You're a TIME TRAVELER. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that. Watson could've figured it out. Because he also has a blog and I bet it has analytical bloggy things that tell him stuff. He must, Anony, because I do. And I'm not a well known blogging detective.
Pause. Because you're a time traveler who already knows the answer to the question you've asked, you are obligated to answer me a far more important one: Is HP Lovecraft forming his own Rockband with Nikola Tesla to rival mine? I almost hear it's so in the possibilities, but it's hard to get a consistent read on anything related to Tesla because he's shrouded in echoes of being bat shit insane.
My Rockband is important. I've worked really hard training the marmots, Anony. You know that, as you know all things, because you are a time traveler. It's the only explanation for your knowing how to invoke my personal reply before I had publicly revealed the invocation.
Why are we playing this game, Anony? Are you my Moriarty? Because I already declared that to be James Frey. WAIT. ARE YOU JAMES FREY?
If you are James Frey: Dude. This is not the way to do things. Show some decorum. Respect the craft. Come to Parkdale and have a Clarinet-off like a true literary hipster. We still love you, James. We know the Phantom Five thing was just surrealist performance art.
If you are not James Frey, I trust you will disregard that message meant only for him.
Right. The answer. You did invoke me, Anony, and I am obligated by the made up laws of this made up invocation to give you an answer. Here it comes, random but not random time traveling kindred spirit who might be James Frey. I'll even put it in our mutual language of RyanGoslingMeme:
Hey Girl, if there were awards for people being books, I'd totally award you one for the Best 3 Random Comments Asking the Same Question Within 10 Minutes on a Thursday Afternoon. Rhinoceros.
Happy? Great. I have to finish teaching the marmots the chords to that song about Totoro.

In this tutorial I'll show you 5 tips for Photoshop beginners. However, this tutorial is not limited to a specific target, anyone can learn from it.
Tip No.5: Screen Modes
While you work, you may get distracted from different directions. Use the F keyboard shortcut to cycle through the screen modes. With or without toolbars, you name it. When you need to present something to a client, the Fullscreen Mode is the best in my oppinion. You hate rulers? Not a problem. Just press CTRL+R and they're gone (find more in the video below).
Tip No.4: The Hand Tool
Time is precious and you need to work efficiently. If you are a Photoshop beginner, you don't know probably that while pressing the SPACEBAR you enable the hand tool and you can move freely on your image. Just let go of the SPACEBAR and you're back to the tool you were working with (find more in the video below).
[yikes-mailchimp form="1″ submit="SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER"]
Tip No.3: The Rubber Band
If you are a Photoshop beginner, you may hate the Pen Tool. But you should love it, because it's making precise selections. I used this option also on the Double Exposure tutorial and all I can say is that this tool will make your life easy (find more in the video below).
Tip No.2: Highlights and Shadows Clipping
Take care of the contrast and exposure of your photo. Use a Levels Adjustment Layer applied on the image. By pressing ALT you'll have a better control for the highlights and shadows clipping.
Tip. No.1: Working with Smart Objects
Definitely my favorite one, by converting your image to a smart object you earn time. You can apply almost any filter then, edit it when it's needed or deactivate it completely. I think it's better than undo-ing and stepping backwards in Photoshop (find more in the video below).

Dear Lauren (aka Ms. Ginger Kelly), We heard you just moved house and thought it might be a good time to catch up with you during the holidays so we can see your new place and you can tell us about your plans for the new year… Your artwork leaves us enchanted and we'd love to see where the magic and creativity happens!
Dear KID independent, The last six months have been so filled with a buzz of activity, and not the friendly humming of a bee hive, instead the sound of drilling, sawing, hammering and sanding. My family and I have just finished renovating our vintage cottage (which still needs a name!)
We now live literally on the banks of the Orara River, Upper Orara NSW in a little yellow timber clad cottage from the 1950's. It still has its original hardwood floors and cladding and now sports a brand new galvanised roof and a little bit extra added on to the back to include the old breezeway and laundry into the house as the entry, mudroom and bathroom. It's not quite finished… but you can follow the story and photos on our renovation blog.
During the last eight weeks I have been helping my grandparents recover from surgery/chemotherapy and set up a temporary studio in their living room to await the moment when I could shift all my boxes into my temporary bedroom in the cottage. You see, it has been my plan all along to build my own studio and living space somewhere on our sunny 3 acre block. With the river so close by (including a perfect swimming hole, with waterfall I might add!) and my horses in the paddock below the cottage I can think of no better place to sit at my easel (or computer monitor) and paint to my hearts content.
My plan is to have a simple timber open plan studio with space for sleeping, cooking and crafting on a epic scale! With my hands always busy at painting, drawing, stitching, beading and embroidering I need a fair amount of working space and storage for all my bits & pieces. My parents and grandparents living rooms can no longer stand up to the punishment I have been giving them.
Constantly clearing scraps of fabric, buttons and trim off the dining table for each meal is no doubt frustrating for the other household residents and as every crafter knows, an uninterrupted space of your own is essential for creativity! I've been collecting hundreds of inspiring ideas on my Pinterest boards which I'd love to share with you.
The other things I need around me are my animals and the wilderness of this valley and river. I grew up here. It is a large part of who I am and inspires my work every day. Many of my Facebook friends will recognise my rabbit, (formally known as Mr McTwisp) who appears somewhere in almost every forest scene from my fairy tale illustrations. I'm hoping in the new year to do a series of stock photos with my horse Will, who I'm sure will make a very pretty steed for a medieval maiden on horseback and as many people have pointed out, our hair matches colour perfectly (we salute redheads everywhere & send our sympathy to you all this summer).
Luckily Will does not share my sensitivity to the effects of the sun so while he's content to mow down the overgrown paddocks, I'll be spending the holidays in the sun dappled water of the river… then when the sun goes down I can venture out to help in the vege garden, look after the chooks and their newly adopted five little babies and plan the construction of the Ginger Kelly Studio! With any luck it'll be underway in time for my birthday!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful new home with us Lauren. We can't wait to see your finished studio and all your magical new creations for 2013.
You can visit Lauren online at Ginger Kelly Studio where you'll find a range of art prints, posters, postcards, jewellery and other merchandise. If you'd like to check out her textile and toy designs, visit her at Thistle and Fox.

So you think food is going to make you happy?
It won't, you know. I chased the happiness I was hoping it would bring for years and years…only to find myself exponentially more miserable each time.
The idea that those M&M's, those bags of popcorn or that cheeseburger and French fries is going to make you happy…it's all absurd. Crazy as I tried to tell myself it was…I was still searching for it. That magnificent moment when that milk chocolate grazed past my lips or that first salty crunch of a French fry dipped in crimson ketchup.
But it is each time as it always was… a short-lived moment of euphoria… there and gone in the blink of an eye. The next day, all that's left is ridiculous guilt. Mounting, suffocating guilt…along with the salty sludge floating around in my system.
Where did this come from? Where did I get the notion that food would make me happy. That food would take away all the hurt or despair I was dealing with. That food would fix what was wrong. Food was there to comfort me when I was down…it never turned its back on me…or so I thought. In essence the very thing that I was turning to, was destroying everything at the same time.
But this thought that food equals happiness has put too many of us in a place that we never wanted to be.
A place where we've lost control. A place where it's much easier to keep giving in to temptation than to change what we know every time we look in the mirror is broken.
I know what it feels like to say over and over again "This ends today!" only to blow every semblance of a structured eating plan later in the same day. It's a truly disheartening feeling that always leaves you discouraged.
I finally feel as if I've made it over that hump. The hump that doesn't leave me running for the closest bag of potato chips when I've had a bad day at work or I'm bored out of my mind on a Saturday afternoon. I finally feel emotionally disconnected from the food I'm putting in my mouth. It's not a filler or a substitute for my happiness. Learning to separate the emotion from the eating will get you over that hump too.
Disconnecting my association between eating and happiness has certainly helped me get this far…
Please don't get me wrong, I still enjoy good food…hell I love good food. But it is not eating it that makes me happy. It's having control over all of it that makes me happy. And as far as 'good' food goes…I'm redefining "good". I'm eating with my head now instead of absent-mindedly, robotically shoving things into my mouth. It's been near impossible to change almost 30 years of bad habits, but changing them I have.
I could give you a thousand and one weight-loss tips but until you do a little spring cleaning upstairs… I seriously doubt you'll have the kind of success that you're looking for.
Food won't make you happy in the end.
Feeling good makes you happy.
Feeling good about yourself makes you happy.
Being healthy and fit and strong makes you happy.
And you deserve to be happy.

Flooring Blog
Some useful information for those who is looking to install new or replace old floor.
Unfinished Hardwood vs Pre-finished Hardwoodin Hardwood Materials
This article will help you to determine if you want to install unfinished hardwood or pre-finished hardwood floors in your house.
Prefinished hardwood is hardwood flooring which is finished by manufacturer. It goes in carton boxes, which prevent it from scratching during the transportation. Prefinished hardwood goes in different sizes and with different stain options. In general you will have limited amount of stains to choose from, but considering huge number of manufacturers, you will be able to pick the one you like. In general, prefinished hardwood has one or two options for the finish shine and in most of the cases it's semi-gloss. Only few manufacturers will be able to provide you with an option of gloss or satin finish you might like better. You're also limited with the finish type, because manufacturers of prefinished hardwood use some sort of mix of water and oil based finish. By adding oil-based finish they can add warmer color to the floor and then they apply couple more water-based coats to increase hardwood durability and add UV-protection to it. Some manufacturers use straight water-based finish. Nowadays different manufacturers try to create tons of different material options in order to eliminate these problems. Although they cannot do anything to remove tiny gaps which appear between boards whenever hardwood is installed.
You can see those gaps because all the prefinished hardwood boards have tiny beveled edges which can be removed only by sanding. Prefinished wood in general has 3/4 of an inch in height of solid wood so it can be sanded or buffed once its layer of polyurethane will worn out or if you would like to stain it. Prefinished hardwood is the best option whenever somebody is looking to finish their project right away, because it takes way less time in order to install prefinished hardwood. Another positive side of it is that you won't need to leave the house during installation and/or wait before you can walk on the floor after it's installed. Also, since no sanding is involved with prefinished floor installation, there will be less dust, because the only dust makers(saws) might be taken outside to cut the wood.
Unfinished hardwood also have its pros and cons. Basically it's 3/4 inch raw wood flooring material which have to be sanded(to make it smooth) and finished(to add better look to it and protect from any damages) on site. Unfinished wood also goes in different sizes and doesn't need fancy carton boxes to protect it from outside world. Unfinished hardwood is easier to install, since you don't have to be very careful to the boards finish. Once installed, all small natural gaps from the boards irregularity or from the knots can be filled with wood patch to create beautiful flat surface. Then, after all the boards are installed and small holes are patched, the entire floor can be sanded. Sanding involves some dust creation but makes the surface very flat. After that you can play with the stains to add perfect color to the floor.
Stains can be mixed in order to create any shade you can imagine. Once stained (or left with natural color) hardwood can be finished with layer of polyurethane or latex. There are couple differences about each one of them, please read our ARTICLE to find out more about difference in both of them. Also you can choose what shine you want to add to your floor. In general your options are: gloss, semi-gloss, satin and satin matte. Once finish is dry and cured you can walk on the floor, put all the furniture back and enjoy your new floor! As you can see unfinished hardwood involves more actions before you can walk on it, but it gives you more options to choose from. Some types of wood, like white pine, goes only in unfinished option.

As with most families, we have played, worked and learned together from day one. Despite the original plan for me to go back to work part time after my oldest was born, my husband and I made the choice for me to be a stay at home parent. That choice grew into our becoming a homeschooling family. A full time around the clock, growing, learning and asking "what's next" parenting choice that has been one of the most rewarding decisions we have ever made.
We have been there to show and describe expected behavior to our children and to set an example of a life long love of learning. We have been together day in and day out, to learn, work and love together, enjoying each others company and following each others interests as individuals and as a family along the way. We never tried to use bribery or monetary rewards system to create a desire to learn. The built in cheering section our family provides has been witness to the reward of learning itself. Being and learning together has been the positive reinforcement for continued learning, skills mastery and growth in developing relationships for each of us, myself and my husband included.
Learning happens at every stage.
It's interesting that the early days pre-K with our children aren't always considered homeschooling. Maybe it's the lack of formal instruction that negates the attempt to use the label homeschooling, for the early years of in home learning for the youngest ones, but those pre-K years are filled with continual and intense learning. Life with an infant is a quick start out of the gate into homeschooling. Fun filled and intense, life with a baby demands learning of everyone in the family.
As Rahima Balwin Dancy said in 1989 in the title of her book published that year "You Are Your Child's First Teacher." The title, the sentiment and the book itself are all still relevant for families today. Rahima's book was one of my early parenting "handbooks" that led us to a homeschooling lifestyle. Thank you, Rahima!
"Here is an extraordinary work for those who want to develop a truly intelligent child and,in the process, unlock new levels of their own intelligence and spirit" Joseph Chilton Pearce.
Our choice to homeschool almost two decades ago, was simply an extension of the lifestyle that we developed with babies, toddlers and young ones. A sudden arbitrary break from a fulfilling lifestyle that we had only just begun to build just didn't make much sense to us at the time. Plus, I was having too much fun and enjoyed my children too much to hand them over to someone else for the bulk of their waking hours.
And so the journey continues...
I didn't plan on homeschooling initially, but our children lead us to unexpected and exciting places as we support their interests, goals and dreams. I never planned on being a baseball mom, a gym mom or a dance mom. I never planned on having any interest in golf or being such a staunch supporter of local community colleges either, but here I am, loving the adventure of it all.
We've been through Little League Baseball, days in the sand box, park days, playgrounds,
ice rinks in the yard, bedtime stories and read alouds. We've included crafting, knitting, drawing, painting and creating from the cardboard of cereal boxes and legos. A few of these activities continue on even as my children enter the teen years and young adulthood. Some of the interests that were mine before following the uncharted, unplanned path of where you lead, I will follow, are still mine and I'm finally finding time for them again in a more uninterrupted way.
Now I create my own interruptions - another cup of coffee?
Art making, creative sewing, knitting, travel and writing about it all are just beginning to be at the fore front for me again. Being so intensely involved with my children didn't always allow me as much time as I would have liked for documentation. The thought of a blog 10 years ago was an entertaining one, but alas, I was at the baseball field or trying to show my kids where vegetables came from by planting them in the yard. Now there is the sense that documentation of life is a requirement. A life well lived is shared on the internet. The level of technology in use in our home was introduced to me by my teenagers and I am still learning to use most of it, compelled by the wonder of what can be done with it and by the cheering (chiding) of my teenager technology tutors. It's a tool, it's a tool, it's a tool, should be my mantra. I spend more time on it now than I should because it takes time to learn and I want to show my kids - I can do it!
I'm looking forward to writing more, blogging, returning to creating art in more "mature" ways.
I'm still homeschooling one, my beautiful and talented daughter. Because of her, I'm still a gym mom. There are still baseball games to attend (and it's finally good baseball to watch). Ice skating is still a winter family activity. I still try to grow vegetables in the yard though I don't get much interest from my kids anymore, they claim that they now know where vegetables come from and it's not our yard!
So, though it's based in my interest in writing, even this blog is a product of my kids interests meshed with mine, their time in history leading me down an unexpected road. I plan to blog about some of the unexpected adventures, some from the perspective of looking back, some from the perspective of looking forward and some from the thick of it right here and now.
May you enjoy my written meanderings, posted associations and maybe a few recommendations along the way as I look forward and back and hopefully, mostly, stay in the here and now.

Electoral Commission challenges WA Senate result to bring about fresh election
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has announced it is challenging the West Australian Senate result to try to bring about a fresh election.
The AEC lodged a petition with the Court of Disputed Returns this afternoon, seeking an order that the election of six senators in WA be declared void.
Nearly 1,400 votes went missing during a formal recount following the September 7 poll.
In a statement, the AEC said:
Given the closeness of the margins that favoured the final two declared candidates, the petition is based on the premise that the inability to include 1,370 missing ballot papers in the recount of the WA Senate election means that the election was likely to be affected for the purposes of s 362(3) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.
The recount gave the final two Senate spots to the Greens' Scott Ludlam and the Australian Sports Party's Wayne Dropulich, with Labor's Louise Pratt and the Palmer United Party's (PUP) Dio Wang missing out.
ABC election analyst Antony Green says the outcome would have come down to a solitary vote.
Green says if the missing votes were to be included in the recount, the PUP and Labor would have won the final two spots.
The other Senate seats were taken by the Liberal Party's David Johnston, Michaelia Cash, Linda Reynolds and Labor's Joe Bullock.
Former federal police commissioner Mick Keelty is conducting an inquiry into the disappearance of the ballots.
Earlier this week, Mr Keelty said the votes disappeared some time between the day after the election and a re-count last month.
When questioned by reporters, he would not rule out the possibility they had been deliberately lost.
"There are a lot of possibilities and I haven't discounted anything, if you get my drift," he said.
"It's important to find out what happened and that we fix those problems."

Cartoons of the day: Violence in the Mideast
In the latest round of tension and violence in the Mideast, Israel and Hamas continue to launch rockets into each other's territories, following the recent abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank and a 16-year-old Palestinian in East Jerusalem. Editorial cartoonist Nate Beeler says there's one thing the two sides agree on, while Joe Heller uses a popular American song to illustrate the situation.

Margules, Max
Born Apr. 23, 1856, in Brody, Galicia, now in the Ukrainian SSR; died Oct. 4, 1920, in Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna. Austrian meteorologist.
Margules studied in Vienna from 1872 to 1876 and in Berlin from 1879 to 1880. He worked at the Austrian Meteorological Institute between 1877 and 1879 and between 1882 and 1906. His principal works deal with dynamic meteorology. Margules showed that cyclones form basically as a result of the unstable position of air masses in the atmosphere. He formulated the conditions for a stable boundary surface between two air masses.

Economists of all stripes remain puzzled about how Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's Troubled Asset Relief Plan is supposed to fix the American financial system.
What is not in dispute is that the crisis has been triggered by a collapse in confidence about how much of their debt subprime borrowers will repay. (This affects financial stability and the real economy because bankrupt banks cannot lend, even to sound borrowers.)
An example might help clarify the root of our confusion. Suppose that as of Tuesday, August 24, 79 AD , the Bank of Rome had lent a total of $110 million to citizens of the Roman Empire, funded by deposits of $100 million. Result: Bank of Rome has a net value of $10 million. On Wednesday, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius engulfs properties mortgaged by the Bank of Rome to the tune of $20 million. Result: The Bank of Rome is bankrupt; its depositors can expect to get back at most 90 percent of their money, and the bank cannot lend any new money even to the profitable and creditworthy Marcus L. Crassus Corporation.
The reason the Bank of Rome is bankrupt is that there has been a collapse of confidence that the (now extinct) citizens of Pompeii will repay their mortgage loans.
It is not clear, fundamentally, how this situation differs from the one confronting American banks now.
(It's true that the recovery value of the properties backing the subprime securities will be greater than for incinerated Pompeiian villas; but this doesn't change anything – the key question is simply whether the writedown in value exceeds the pre-eruption value of the Bank of Rome, which markets seem to fear is true). The Secretary appears to believe that "confidence" in the subprime securities will be restored if the government purchases those securities through a cleverly designed auction process. But, no degree of cleverness could render the mortgages made to the citizens of Pompeii valuable. And, it is very hard to understand why auctions in the next few weeks should restore anyone's confidence that subprime mortgages will turn out to be more valuable than markets currently believe.
Perhaps, we economists are missing something. It would not be the first time. My sense is that some important voices have been keeping mum because of our profession's well-justified confidence in Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, who made it clear that he supported passage of Mr Paulson's plan in Congress.
But, we have become accustomed, since Mr Bernanke became Fed chairman, to hearing from him clear and sound explanations of the economic logic behind the Fed's actions. Mr Bernanke's public pronouncements about the Paulson Plan thus far have mostly been of the form "Pass the Paulson Plan because it is better than doing nothing" rather than "Pass the Paulson Plan because it is the soundest way to address our financial crisis".
Returning to the Vesuvius example, a rough analogue of the Paulson Plan might be if Emperor Nero had proposed to use funds from the Roman Treasury to buy the Vesuvian mortgages from the Bank of Rome for their original value of $20 million, or even for a bargain price of $10 million to reflect the "stressful market circumstances". In that case, the Bank of Rome would no longer be insolvent and could resume lending to M.L. Crassus Inc.
But, Mr Paulson has repeatedly said that the taxpayer will be paying "fair market value" for the subprime securities that it buys. In the Vesuvian example, the "fair market value" would be zero, and buying the worthless rights to the Vesuvian mortgages for $0 would do nothing to restore the Bank of Rome to health.
It is possible that the Secretary does not believe his own promises that the taxpayer will get something valuable from this process. He may simply believe that by overpaying sufficiently he can inject enough capital to revive the banking sector (as the Emperor Nero hypothetically did when he spent $20 million for mortgage-backed securities he knew to be worth $0). But in our context, it would be much more straightforward (and honest) simply to let the doomed banks go bust, sell them to other (still solvent) banks, and pay off the depositors from the resources of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (perhaps augmented with a loan from the Treasury).
Alternatively, the Secretary may believe that an irrational panic has seized the markets for subprime securities; Vesuvius's eruption was such smaller than rumored, and so most of the Pompeiian mortgages will end up being repaid. However, it is difficult to see how the process of forcing auctions for those securities will stem the panic; what is needed, in this scenario, is hard proof that the eruption was not so bad. Auctions will generate no such proof.
Furthermore, if the Secretary is right that many more of these mortgages will be repaid than expected, the taxpayer could reap the rewards by investing fresh capital directly in the banking system while leaving ownership of the subprime securities in the hands of the current owners. If the Emperor Nero had been willing to invest $20 million in the Bank of Rome (rather than buying the Vesuvian mortgage-backed securities for $20 million), that would have accomplished the goal of restoring the bank to solvency. Then, if the Vesuvian rumors had turned out to be false, the Emperor would have an ownership stake in the bank which he could sell off to recoup his investment.
Mr Bernanke has shown a remarkable talent for communicating complex economic ideas in straightforward language, and his intellect and integrity are justly held in high regard in the economics profession. We therefore have great confidence that he will soon be explaining to us clearly and simply what exactly is wrong with this analogy.

A guy who has been living in America for two genarations asked me would he be considered a Finn while visiting Finland, his blood is 100% Finnish. I don't think there is such a straight-forward answer to this question. The bloodline is enough for you to be able to say that you are Finnish to other Finnish people, but then again a Finnish girlfriend might tease you along the lines that you are so American, which you might find annoying. But yeah, you can absolutely say that you are Finnish in an emotional sense. Yet, it does matter if you speak a bit of the language or not.
I do think you would be most welcome. However, older people in particular might act a bit shyly around you while presenting the sights etc. as they feel Finland is a small country and does not have so much of the pomp and grandeur of a major player in world politics. We are modest people who like to gather in small villages near lakes, not in big cities and in all our modestness we are modest to the extent of even being shy about our modestness.
If you are looking how to get in favor of Finns, it would help to profess fascination in the Finnish outdoors, heart-stopping heat of the sauna, schlong-shrinking lakes, peaceful straight-forward way of life etc. and to say that you like some Finnish food. This is good, since Finns would feel shy presenting you our country.
tags: Would I be considered a foreigner in Finland?
How is life in Finland and is Finnish difficult to learn. Here is my initial contribution to the topic, but it would be better, if someone else also gave their point of view here, so it does not become too unsided
umm, how should i put this... Finnish is voted to be a very difficult language among the world languages, because the endings of the words change. For example you have to use the correct ending to each noun, if you want to be understood. There are 15 of these for nouns, most of them follow grammatical rules, but it is a lot to learn. You see in English you would always use the same form for "shop". However, in Finnish, you don't always say shop or "kauppa", you would have to use all the forms, "kauppa, kauppaan, kaupasta, kaupan, kaupassa, kaupoilla, kaupoista and plenty more. Also verbs have many different forms. And we don't really have words that resemble other languages, whereas in English you say station and in Spanish you say estacion, which are not really that difficult to learn. Luckily there are other nearby countries that are rich as Finland but have less difficult languages, such as Norway, Denmark or even the slightly poorer Sweden. Then again, many Finns do speak English, but it is naturally still hard to be a non-Finnish speaker in Finland, you can't get all the things done in English.
How is Life in Finland? That is a big question, basically you work 8 hours a day, get one week summer holiday, have 1500e as a salary, pay 500e for rent outside the capital (students pay less of course, around 220e). Prices are high, one litre of milk is 1e, cheapest mince meat is like 5-6e for a kilo. Usually in other European countries I find these products at least half the price. Outside the capital, it's safe (not many drug addicts or thiefs) and things work quite well (except for buses that in some cities are often late). On weekends the locals tend to get drunk and try to walk on roads covered by ice just to go get more alcohol when they aren't really in the condition to walk even on roads that are not covered by ice. People are said not to quite know how to life, not so much social life, just staying indoors using internet etc. or taking saunas quite alone. Actually I know a lot of foreign students in Finland, and that is why I wish to mention some of the things they complain, as they say I would not have come here, if I had known how awful it is (as it was our fault nobody told them that Finland looks good on paper, but has a very foreign culture (not mainstream European, but almost as shocking as moving to China or somewhere, people are just so different). Foreigners usually notice that they can't find enough social activities, make friends with Finns fast, find anything else than Finnish food (which is without spices and is rather fatty) and Finnish style pizza and kebabs. We really don't have much imported food like in other countries which is really a shame, even I am tired with Finland's selection of food. Furthermore, we don't sell many of the ingredients one finds in other European cities, e.g. it is difficult to find meat without it being packed in a plastic container with ready-made sauce that is so strong that it does not wash away
Weather is of course bad, except the summers are the right temperature, not too hot, not too cold, but they are so shortlived. I mean you should prepare for minus 20C at least, and watch out ice falling from high roofs. But it is not so bad to get used to, you can buy warm clothes from second-hand shops as cheap as 5-15e and there are warm shared saunas that are really cheap, but you are officially forbidden to wear swim suit inside a sauna. Some find it difficult, but it is not mix-gender like in Germany, just one gender.
Best things are perhaps the nature, there's plenty of clean forests filled with blueberries and lingonberries everywhere and lakes to fish at. Even 100 000 people cities have very fresh air and clean tap water etc.
I hope I don't sound unwelcoming, I just think it is important to know these things, because so many students here are shocked by these factors.

What do you expect from reading this post?
During recent months, the topic of expectations showed up for me again and again. I start working on my excessive planning habit and notice expectation lurking around. I do a breathing exercise and at the back of my mind I expect an immediate result. I put a book on my chair to create an element of voluntary suffering, and here it is again – something in me expects a miraculous effect in just a few minutes.
I need some expectation to start the exercise – why would I even try otherwise? However, at some point this continuous expectation becomes detrimental to the exercise. Results of the Work go beyond the realm of imagination and are not governed by my intellect. In my expectations, I cannot foresee possible miracles of the Master.
The situation warranted a closer look, a more focused observation. Digging deeper, I started seeing expectations everywhere. I talk to my family in a slightly changed tone of voice, expecting them to understand my mood. Moreover, I expect them to not only understand it, but also to accommodate this mood. I expect friends to arrive on time. I expect my Internet service to function uninterruptedly. However, people are not always attentive to the swings of my ever-changing moods. Appointments start late or get cancelled altogether. And my Internet connection goes down occasionally. My expectations aren't met, inevitably leading to the spikes of negative emotions.
One evening I didn't have anything planned, and I noticed some negative emotions were arising as if from nowhere. What was this about? I observed closer and realized that I expected boredom of the approaching evening. In this case I started suffering "in advance".
What are all those expectations? Is it just another habit? For me, it feels like expectations are weaved in the very fabric of my ordinary day-to-day life. At the same time, I don't remember expecting anything when being struck by an emotional wave of the live symphony, or when I was absorbed in the "now" of the looking exercise. But as soon as I fall asleep, my life gets surrounded by expectations. Maybe expectations is an attribute of the second state, a particular case of imagination?
Can then this faithful companion of my sleep be used to make my lower state more obvious and serve as an alarm?
Earlier this week I had a dentist appointment. As usual, I arrived 10 minutes earlier. 10 minutes passed, but I was still waiting. After 15 minutes a strong group of negative I's occupied my entire inner space – "Why am I still waiting? They are disrespectful of my time! They are always late, what lousy people they are!" And then amidst this riot, I heard a quiet voice of my inner observer: "Here it is again. Your expectations are not being met and you are pissed off, wasting energy, falling deeper and deeper down the serpentine". Immediately, the tension was released, the wave with the recognizable higher-state "taste" arrived, and I regained my inner peace. The group of intruding I's retreated freeing up the field for something good.
As long as I'm in the second state, expectations are everywhere, and therefore they have a great potential to become a reliable and inexhaustible source of wood for the fire of my consciousness.
