Continuing the Saga
Just returned to Illinois from Quartzsite towing the fiver. I have122k miles on an '09 LMM. No problems going down in January, but several 0087 episodes on return last week. Absolutely stock truck with auxiliary filtration and regular Power Service throughout its life. Regular filter changes. Regular Chevy dealer service at the same competent location. No lift pump (duly noted, John).
Obviously, working through this thread gives possible short and long term answers. But my solution for getting home the last 1,000 miles -- starting in western Oklahoma -- was to keep post turbo EGT's in the 1,000 degree range, and never more than 1,100. I used that as a proxy for the temps the injectors and incoming fuel were experiencing. I did this by doing a lot of manual gear selection on hills. I recall only one post in this entire thread that mentions that approach. Hmmm.
I will figure out my future with this truck somehow. But when other brands of diesels are notable for much longer injector life, it makes me wonder what GM has stuck us lifelong, committed customers with.

My dealer had it for two days, and as I expected, found nothing wrong -- injectors test solid, no codes left, and absent the load from towing heavy, on hills, while hot, no way to get their equipment to register my issue. They report all fuel lines solid, the fuel cooler clean, and no leaks anywhere.
These are two guys who know the truck since new, have serviced it thoroughly and regularly, and otherwise have my confidence. So for now I'm going to drive on and see what the future holds.
They did offer a thought that freeing up the exhaust might help keep overall temps down and thus keep the returned fuel cooler. Coming from a dealership, I found that interesting. Any thoughts on that from anyone?

Hi Rich,
I agree with the dealer that opening up the exhaust would help cool the motor by lowering the EGT a little. I do not think it will get you a substantial drop in fuel temperature. Additionally, the noise caused by most large exhaust systems will make for a very long trip from Illinois to Arizona next year.
My post about the P0087 code was the one posted just before your post (take a look). If I keep plenty of fuel in my fuel tank it seems to cool the returning hot fuel and stop the P0087 problem. When your truck threw the p0087 code did you have over half a tank of fuel? I think a second fuel cooler would cool the returning hot fuel a lot better than a larger exhaust system. Just my thoughts on the P0087 code.
Good luck

Hi John,
Thanks for the response.
I usually fill up at the end of the day's run with the fiver, so I can get a fast start in the morning. And I have been getting a few hours of clean performance -- until the tank is lower and the day is warmer. So refueling more often might help, although it would slow the day's progress.
I have pondered adding another cooler. Insofar as I recall, nobody in this thread has mentioned actually doing it, or a supplier with suitable hardware. So that is an option with dangling questions...
And yeah, the exhaust noise issue has occurred to me, and would be a turnoff. In addition to my own objection, I might never get Maureen to ride with me again. A very last resort, I think.
I appreciate being able to add your thoughts to the mix.

It's America's Movable Action Man! The Original Camo-Wearing Toy: G.I. Joe
In the late '50s, a blonde-headed doll named Barbie was introduced and quickly took over the world. While a massive audience of mostly little girls relished the world's funnest new toy, savvy marketers wondered if they could recreate the success amongst their brothers. Enter: G.I. Joe. In 1964, the Hasbro toy company created an action-packed doll laced in military fatigue, ready to conquer any mission, and marketed to little boys. G.I. Joe quickly captured the hearts of many.
"Before G.I. Joe, there were no action figures," explains Brian Savage, founder of the GI Joe Collectors' Club. "Or an action figure would be a 54-millimeter lead solider, or a plastic soldier." G.I. Joe was a revolution in that he was posable; he could crouch and hold a rifle like a real soldier. "There was no category. Every action figure since the '60s owes its beginnings to G.I. Joe," says Savage.
Based in Fort Worth, Texas, the GI Joe Collectors' Club holds conventions throughout the year, allowing its most avid traders to meet, greet, and exchange their favorite G.I. Joes. "Back in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, these toys were in millions of people's hands," says Savage, adding that G.I. Joe is one of the top recognized brand names in the country. "Unfortunately, we're all getting kind of old," he laughs. "We like to say that G.I. Joe has saved the world a million times over, one backyard at a time."
In the early '50s, America was embroiled in the Korean War, and Army men were heroes. What's more, the marketing team over at Hasbro consisted of veterans of both Korea and World War II.
In hopes of securing the right look for G.I. Joe, Hasbro took some camo-styled prints from the Marines to bolster the toy's credibility, although the toy's camo accessories only became accurate much later: "They never really did it back in the '60s," says Savage. "There never was like a tiger stripe Vietnam camo print, which is a famous one. They just took the basic Marines [gear], looked it and said, 'That looks good.' " In the '90s and '00s, the 12" military figures became "very accurate to current military or whatever military they are trying to depict at the time," says Savage.
Soon Hasbro began pushing different accessories for G.I. Joe. "That was really the big deal, trying to get kids the variety of accessories and things that they could outfit their figures [with]," says Savage.
Now you could dress G.I. Joe "as a marine, a jungle fighter, a scuba diver, frog-man, a dressed pilot, or whatever that was and then you put those clothes on," according to Savage. The personal attachment between kids and their toys grew significantly.
"I took the blank figure, I put these accessories on it, I take it to my mom and say, 'Hey mom, 'Look at MY G.I. Joe!'" Savage says. "Because I customized it. You could have one figure, but you could have four to five different accessories to put on that figure because you're creating it. You get the emotional buy-in."
With new G.I. Joes and accompanying accessories still coming out, 50 years later, Savage hopes that people will continue to cherish their G.I. Joes. But in a way that breaks the rules of grown-up toy collectors: Taking them out of the box and playing with them.
"The best advice … for any collection, is that you buy what you like whether it goes up in value or not. If it does, then great. If it doesn't, great, because you'll still like it. The one thing that you shouldn't do with kids is buy things and leave it in the box. The box in today's world probably won't have any different value anyway down the road since there's so many of them. What does have value is that you took it out of the box and you played with it. You had an emotional time and had fun."
Green Label is going to COMPLEXCON, and we're bringing The Camo Collective with us, an immersive gallery experience showcasing the history of camouflage throughout art, fashion, and technology. Visit us on November 4-5 at COMPLEXCON, Long Beach, California. In partnership with VFILES.

Amy Sackville is a novelist worth waiting for. Her debut novel, The Still Point (Portobello Books, 2010) was a book that changed my life. Pressing it on everyone in the interim, I have waited impatiently for her next offering.
Orkney is one of the most fascinating novels I have ever read, by one of Britian's strongest new novelists. Sackville is fascinated by the effect of geography on emotion. Orkney tells the story of Richard, a 60-year old academic pursuing an obsession with mythical women that has been the foundation of a successful career; he studies 19th-century narratives of enchantment. Into his life comes a pale, almost speechless young woman: a student. She has no name, and very little corporeality.
They honeymoon, at her request, is on a small island, where she watches the sea all day, and dreams of it all night. And Richard watches her, with a possessive, fierce gaze. Sackville's prose is flawless. She shifts between pale, undefined emotion and extraordinarily precise, evocative descriptions of landscape. "The low sun is a perfect pale disc without halo or shine, a hole-punched circle in a parchment sky."
The couple talk about how they met; they never agree. In fact, their inability to co-narrate highlights Richard's problem: his young wife, it seems, is so flimsy that unless pinned down by narrative, she may not exist at all. He becomes predatory, their couplings increasingly violent, her freedom increasingly restricted.
Sackville's novel has one minor flaw. We are prevented, due to the insubstantial nature of Richard's wife, from ever truly feeling for Richard's predicament. However, this is not to say that the wife is an dull character. For the book to work, the female character must remain cold and indistinct, and Sackville executes this with aplomb. From the moment we meet her, the girl's motivations are blurry – why has she taken for her husband a man forty years her senior? Richard admires her mind, but we are never exposed to it. We barely even know, beyond her slim, silvery coldness, what she looks like. She flickers in and out of rooms, and fails to create anything substantial: she doesn't write, she cannot cook, she consents to sex only in the throes of nightmares. Instead she consumes: Richard's stories, words and gaze. Or so Richard says, wrapped in his delicate ego and obsessed with possessing and providing for a wild creature.
The tone of the novel relies on this lack of scrutiny, and toward the end of the novel, when the plot has gathered pace, this novel shifts from a beautiful meditation to a more human tale and we are exposed to the full force of Richard's folly. The results are haunting, and stay with the reader long after the book has finished.
An absolute must-read, this book is for all island-lovers, sea-gazers, and people enchanted by the places where reality and myth intertwine.

If Sean Fleming is interested, Sean Fleming should get the job. Period. Let's restore the roots of this culture back to football and build everything around that.
Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.
Well I am glad this is finally over and done with. His decision to fire Swerve is something that set this franchise back...especially with the scouting he took with him to BC. I don't think any of it has much to do with Reilly....Reilly wants to be closer to his family which with two young kids I can't really be too hard on him for.
Moving forward...we really need to get this franchise back on the correct path and this decision is huge. I really hope we get Fleming but whoever it is....needs to improve both product and game day presentation.
Quote from Inquiring Mind:
Of course stamphater is sacred... we all worship the ground he walks on.
I am painfully listen to Len Rhodes diplomatically talk about how he feels he left the franchise in a better state than when he first came in...he sure skirted around all the negatives.

I had no idea that the Eskimos had hired a firm to find them their president when they found Len....that's ridiculous on so many levels.
Quote from Inquiring Mind:
Of course stamphater is sacred... we all worship the ground he walks on.
This may seem like a crazy idea, but is it too late to hire Ed as President and GM? Considering it would be a promotion is he allowed to leave BC for a situation like this? could it be done in one day to stop Reilly from signing in BC?
He could then find his own marketing person to do whatever it was Len thought he did to sell tickets, etc (other than winning, that is)
i know this seems far fetched but this is the CFL, that had 8 teams, with 2 named the Riders, that once drafted a player that was dead, and let the Gliebermans own a team twice!
Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.

The first order of biz for the board to understand is how seriously the level of trust has eroded with what's left of their paying fans, let alone the casual ones. If they hire someone that the fan base cannot believe in, they will continue to see an erosion of paying fans. They chose the path of maximizing and creating revenue streams, while missing the boat that many of those endeavors was hemorrhaging trust. When you no longer trust a brand, you are screwed. The BOD has done very little since Hugh left it up to them, to earn much trust at all.
I hit them as hard as I could on the mouth right from the start of the game so they were thinking this was going to be a long day. Sooner or later one of us had to quit. And it wasn't going to be me.
- Dan Kepley
i really think the new president should be a strong member of the alumni. Fleming would probably be all of our consensus number one picks, but even Blake Dermott or somebody else locally who bleeds green and gold, with a competitive spirit, and some common sense. The team makes enough money (or used to, anyway), that they could likely hire one or two marketing people to do whatever it is Len thinks he did, to assist the football person they bring in. That new president can get to know Brock and see how he does. The scouting staff Brock brought in seems to have a good resume so hopefully he can bring in some talent. So far, as we have noted here, he has yet to bring in a single good import, other than mediocre Ottawa re treads. Like I said above, why not hire Ed to be both, and poach him on the eve of Free agency like Saskatchewan poached our entire coaching staff on the eve of the grey cup with the same premise as Jones - getting a promotion...well President/Gm is definitely a promotion if we offer it to Ed right Fing now.
After the board allowed Len to do what he did to Ed, I wouldn't hold my breath on him ever coming back to Edmonton. Why would you?

He may be perfectly qualified for the job, I just don't have enough info in this situation.

11 Ways You Can Get Pregnant, Even If You're On The Pill
Since 1960, women have been turning to oral contraceptives as a relatively easy and effective form of birth control. Today's birth control pills contain fewer hormones and cause less side effects than the original pills. They are high effective, with only a 0.3 percent chance of pregnancy when taken correctly. Even so, there are still ways you can get pregnant while taking the pill.
When you decide to start taking oral contraceptives, you should talk to your doctor about your health history and your current lifestyle. Smoking, age, and taking other medications in combination with the pill can cause life-threatening medical problems such as blood clots.
If you find that you have been on the pill for some time, and you experience uncomfortable side effects such as nausea or breakthrough bleeding (spotting between periods) that aren't getting better, you should talk to your health care professional about switching to a different pill. Don't stop taking the pill mid-cycle because you can get pregnant.
Once your doctor prescribes the pill they think will work best for you, it is important to read all of the instructions that come with your prescription. The majority of pregnancies that occur while on the pill are due to not following the directions. But that's not the only way the pill can be ineffective. Here are some other ways that you can get pregnant while taking the birth control pill.
1. You Are On Certain Medication
According to Planned Parenthood, the only antibiotic known to make the pill less effective is rifampin, which is used to treat tuberculosis. It is also known by brand name Rifadin and Rimactane. The site also lists other medications that can make the pill less effective such as anti-HIV protease inhibitors, some anti-seizure medications, the anti-fungal medication, griseofulvin, also known as Fulvicin, Gris-PEG, Grifulvin V, Grisactin, and Gristatin, which is used to treat severe fungal infections. To be on the safe side, tell your doctor that you are taking the pill any time you are prescribed medication.
2. You Don't Take The Pill At The Same Time Everyday
Although a difference of a few minutes to an hour may not decrease the efficacy of most pills, some forms of birth control. According to research at Columbia University, certain pills such as progestin-only pills, must be taken at the same time every day. If you take your pill late, you should consider using a back-up method of birth control for 48 hours.
3. You Forget To Take The Pill
With the number of different types of birth control pills available, the University of California, Davis notes that missing pills at any point in your cycle may require you to use a back-up method of birth control. It is important to read the instruction packet that comes with your pills.
4. You Just Got On The Pill
If you just started taking the pill, nurse practitioner Li-Chun Liu warned that you must take the pill consistently for seven consecutive days in order to be protected from pregnancy. Having sex without a back-up method on the first seven days of being on the pill greatly increases your chance of pregnancy.
5. You Have Been Sick
IF it's coming out at either end, you may reduce the efficacy of the pill. According to the Mayo Clinic, if you vomit within two hours of taking the pill or have severe vomiting and diarrhea for two or more days, you should use a back-up method of birth control for seven days.
6. You've Had Too Much To Drink
Dr. Millicent Comrie, founder and director of the Long Island College Hospital Center for Women's Health, told Fox News that alcohol is metabolized by the liver and "any drug that affects the liver may also affect the way the pill is absorbed by the body." Excessive drinking can also cause you to throw up, have diarrhea, or may impair your judgment, which can affect whether you remember to take the pill on time.
7. You Drink Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit juice can interact adversely with certain medications, because the compounds in grapefruit juice suppress an intestinal enzyme that processes medications including those with hormones, according to The University Of Alaska Anchorage Student Health and Counseling Center.
8. You Take Herbal Supplements
According to a 2005 study, the most common herbal supplement to interact with the birth control pill is St. John's Wort. They study found that women who were on the pill and also taking St. John's Wort had 15 percent less contraceptive hormone in their bloodstream. Other supplements that can influence hormone levels and should not be taken with the pill are Vitex, also known as chasteberry and monk's pepper; Dong Quai, scientifically known as angelica sinensis; Black Cohosh, also known as rattleweed, bugbane, bugwort and black snakeroot; and Red Clover, also known as cow clover and wild clover.
9. Your Pills Were Packaged Incorrectly
CNN reported in 2015, that more 100 women in 28 states sued a pharmaceutical company which erroneously packaged eight brands of birth control pills in 2011, causing 111 pregnancies, 97 which were carried to term. The pills were packaged in a way that caused the women to take the placebo pills at the beginning of the month, rather than at the end.
10. Your Pills Were Exposed To Heat
In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. Skye McKennon, clinical professor at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy, noted that birth control is susceptible to temperature changes. You may be at risk for pregnancy if you leave your pills in the car, in a hot and humid bathroom, or anywhere else they can be exposed to heat.
11. You Are Part Of The 0.3 To 9 Percenters
A 2011 study on contraceptive failure in the United States by James Trussell, Princeton professor of economics and public affairs, categorized birth control pill usage into"typical use" and "perfect use". Only 0.3 percent of women who fall under the "perfect use" category become pregnant while using oral contraceptives. However, 9 percent of women who fall under the "typical use" category get pregnant while on the pill. Even with perfect use, you could be the one out of every 334 women who take the pill perfectly to become pregnant.

Today's Gospel (Luke 9:22-25):
'Jesus said to his disciples: 'The Son of Man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'
Then to all he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it. What gain, then, is it for a man to have won the whole world and to have lost or ruined his very self?''
Carrying a heavy, burdensome cross every day is a horrible thought, especially when you consider this in the context of a world that rejects suffering at every turn. But Christ tells us that, in order to follow him, we need to do just that; we need to pick up our cross ever morning and carry it with us through the day.
Instead of lamenting our suffering perhaps we need to consider accepting the reality that suffering is essential to God's plan for salvation. If He is prepared to send his only Son to suffer "grievously" then perhaps He expects a little suffering on our part too. But our suffering need not be in vain. Indeed suffering can bring much good. When we see someone suffer it brings out our loving, caring and compassionate side. As each of us carries our cross through the day we must look to one other with the love and compassion of Christ, offering a hand of help and solidarity. And in this way the love of Christ is able to shine out in our world.

Georgia Football Knee Jerk Reactions: UNC Edition
College football y'all. RT @steakNstiffarms: HOW WE LIVE WITHOUT THIS FOR 8 MONTHS A YEAR I WILL NEVER KNOW
— DPalm (@dpalm66) September 5, 2016
No more pretending to care about swimming, no more faking like USA basketball isn't going to win gold, no more being the only person on the internet convinced Jordan Burroughs got robbed.
And I swear, if you mention baseball to me, you must be new.
Hope springs eternal going into Labor Day weekend in college football, and whether that hope was ill-advised (LSU), an open reach (Auburn) or a lie we tell ourselves to help us sleep at night (Notre Dame!!!), it's nice to see hope rewarded even for one week.
For the DYC faithful, what's next will feel earily similar to Week 1's in the past since I've been here. For the newcomers, WELCOME. What took you so long to find us?
The Good:
– We're BAAAAAAACK! And by that, I mean Tailback U, a name coined in years past, but brought to full fruition over the past 15 years. From Musa to Thomas Brown, to Knowshon to Gurley, the man dotting the I for Georgia has been able to run hard, run fast and run a lot. There were questions coming into the season about how the man they call Chubb would bounce back from his catastrophic knee explosion in Knoxville. The answer is WELL.
Hell, even discounting that BEAUTIFUL run (seriously, I want to commission a 30 for 30 series on how Nick Chubb laughs at your arm tackles), this was a performance that a healthy back would kill for, not just one coming off a knee explosion. Also, Friend of the Site Sam Franco has a very good question for an ESPN personality.
Hey @ESPNMcGee, still think Chubb isn't the best back in the Dome today? https://t.co/BVu2W9SPZs
— Sam Franco (@samjfranco) September 4, 2016
Journalism y'all.
– And Chubb wasn't alone! In the truest spirit of Tailback U, Georgia unleashed a freshman named Brian Herrian who clocked in at over 8 yards per carry, AND he's going to be behind Sony Michel whenever he gets cleared. WATTBA.
– Did not love the pass pro in drop back or play action protection writ large this week, but let's give some room for first game jitters (in the Good at least), and tip the cap to the two men under center. I think that Lambert get's Joe Tereshinski'd sooner than later, but good job by the staff making both guys feel like THE GUY when the time was right.
– I've only got so much space, but let it be known that Elijah Hood is a VERY good running back who got eaten alive by this Georgia defense. Damn good Dawgs, all night.
Georgia held North Carolina's offense to under 400 yards.
Evidently you don't know how hard that is. https://t.co/YdxsJXp0uB
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) September 5, 2016
The Bad:
– Our o-line may kill me. And not because I'll be under center, though I worry for those young men. No, for the (checks watch) one BILLIONTH season, we enter with not 5 guys we love up front, but 7-10 guys we feel OKAY about. I get you need to find your best unit, but what was training camp for? Giving up pressure early may work against the sisters of the poor in the ACC, but it won't be good in league play.
– Speaking of patterns carried over from previous regimes, HELLO SOFT EDGES AGAINST THE RUN. I get that we have a young front, and a new defensive scheme (AGAIN on both counts), but you can be stout up front, and soft edges will result in
Florida some undetermined team beating the hell out of a defense, and maybe cost a head coach his job.
– Can't make a living on PI calls. I loved the creative ways this staff was getting the ball in playmakers' hands, but the youth and arm talent of Eason makes me wonder just what we have in our receiving corps going forward.
The Ugly:
– I do NOT understand UNC's gameplan; even if you're as high on your first time starter as all the puff pieces say you are, there's no reason to go into a hostile environment (the Georgia Dome is about as neutral as…oh, name somewhere) and let your first time starter throw it 40 times. It's almost like they forgot they had Elijah Hood.
– Coach Smart said there were numerous missed opportunities on the field from Saturday, but none rang truer in the hearts of Georgia fans than the returned kickoff to start the second half. Sure, maybe you didn't burst into tears and curl into the fetal position, but then again I have a soul. Sue me.
Without resorting to my favorite coach-speak cliches (it is only week 1!), this was exactly what UGA fans needed to usher in the Smart era: a big win over an established program on the rise that gave you something to cheer about in all three phases of the game, while setting the foundation of things to come. And while many said Richt's last year was devoid a big win, I would like to remind you that he kicked off the year basically retiring Steve Spurrier at the 50 yard line. This wasn't that, but Coach Smart DID get to kick off his era by perhaps retiring our fence-sitting editor in chief. Which is nice.
SOMEONE FIND ME THE SKULL OF @Chad_Floyd!!! #DawgsOnTop

Hood wasn't "eaten alive" by our defense. He had 100 yards on 16 touches (10 carries for 72 yards and 6 catches for 28 yards). He would have had a huge game if UNC had gotten him the ball more often.
I'm not saying he's a better back than Chubb, but he's pretty darn good and we caught a break with him not getting more chances.

Taylor Swift (or her lawyers) have made a smart move and went out and bought some new domain names, according to Taylor Swift buys own porn site domain names ahead of expansion – People – News – The Independent. She was able to buy "TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult before they become available". Microsoft, who also have good lawyers, bought Office.porn.
Now you might think: big deal…domain names are cheap. But these ones aren't, going for $2,500 a pop. And if they are like other domains, those fees must be paid annually.
You might also think: well, it was good of them to offer the domain first to individuals before others buy them. I first thought that before I knew how much the domains cost.
Does that add up to a form of extortion? That is very hard to state categorically, and if I was pressed, I would say it isn't. But using the logic of "if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck", you might draw a different conclusion.
Whatever you call it, it makes me think it is time to replace the ICANN and the use of domain names with something much better.

I heard an excellent homily today on the gospel of Jesus appearing to the disciples when Thomas was not present. Why did Thomas need to see the wounds in order to believe in the resurrected Jesus? Perhaps it is all about personal connection… I know it is true for me that my deepest moments of connection with God, myself, or another human being often happen at times of loss, pain, struggle, questioning, despair. When I meet a fellow person in recovery, there's a shared appreciation for the blessing of sobriety and the journey to get there. When I am brought to my knees because of some physical or emotional ailment, it is then that I finally permit myself to receive the kindness of others. When I've struggled with scary insights into my identity, God blesses the struggle by transforming my fear and self-loathing into self-acceptance, and steering me to companions who have walked in my shoes and who love and support me in my journey of integration. I remember St. Paul saying that it is in weakness that we are strong…that seems true for me.
What about for you? Let's keep talking!

Drug giants Pfizer and Allergan are in talks to merge.
If successful, it would be the biggest deal of the year — and they would create the world's largest healthcare company.
But the news should not come as a surprise.
Pfizer CEO Ian Read has frequently pointed to relatively high US taxes as a competitive challenge for the company.
And in an earnings call last week, he dropped some pretty big hints about the potential merger.
Questions about tax inversions dominated the earnings call Q&A, with many analysts pointing to previous instances when Read has talked about inversion deals and how attractive they are.
To recap: an inversion is a legal move in which a US company merges with a foreign-domiciled company to shift its address to a country with a lower tax rate.
"To be successful in the future, we need to have a competitive tax rate," Read said in response to a question about the political risk of inversion on the earnings call. "So that is why it's an important issue for us."
When asked about the proposed regulation designed to curtail inversion deals, Read said, "I'd like to point out that these rules are proposed rules. They have not been triggered."
Another response from Read pointed to the urgency with which he may want to do a tax inversion.
"If there was a deal to be done, I'd prefer it to be done under the present Congress," he said. "You don't know what the conformation of the new Congress will be, so you'd rather do it in a Congress [in which] you do know who are setting the rules and what the rules are."
And in another comment on how quickly a tax-inversion deal could come together, Read said, "This management team is not afraid of taking bold steps, and we're looking at opportunities. And when we make our decision as to what is the best way of enhancing value, we will move."
Move they have.

I've been working in my profession for 32 years now and all of sudden I notice I'm often the oldest guy in any meeting I attend. How did that happen so fast?
I once heard a saying that "You're every age that you've ever been" so there's definitely still an 18-year-old inside of me. I feel very much the same as I did then - but wiser.
I've found the best thing for helping me feel young is playing in a rock 'n roll band. Thank God I learned to play guitar when I was 14 -- and thank God for my band mates. It's been a life saver many many times.
Onward to the next 35 years!

Discussion in 'Options' started by faust, Dec 10, 2012.
Classic examples of "most option buyers lose money"..??
shh don't tell the 95% of ET'ers that lose
i dont wanna have to compete with 1000 more ppl to sell my spreads
I doubt you make money selling spreads, the market is too volatile. Your short strikes are getting hit too many times.
Oh I know ...... you "adjust your positions" or you have some sort of "repair strategy". LOL.
Those options are some of the most overpriced options out there. Good for her. Keepin it simple. Does one thing and does it well.
Whats the basic strategy? I don't want to watch.
selling teenies
Selling out 8 weeks, strangles on SPX mainly.
5% chance of ITM for puts, 10% chance for ITM for calls.
Once these get to 30% chance of ITM, she rolls up, closes some out.
The whole interview seemed rubbish...I want to know her last name to see if she is real since she claims to manage two funds.
I tried too watch them but there is too much banter going back and forth. I lasted 3 minutes on the first video and 1 minute on the second video then I lost interest.
There is only one way to turn 100k into $41 million with option trading and that is buying - not selling. But then I didn't watch the videos so maybe I missed something.
She started taking in opm when she hit $800k in profits.

I have been in town about a year and a half now and as I meet with different groups and become more involved in the community I have noticed that there are, at times, "silos" — organizations working on similar projects or trying to achieve the same outcome.
Well, I am pleased that there are two groups that are working together for the common good.
After 13 years, the Colorado Springs Dance Theatre is joining with the Pikes Peak Community Foundation's Mountain of the Sun celebration to create the 14th annual Colorado Springs wine festival. The event will be April 29-30 at the Broadmoor (sorry I couldn't put that little "A" in there). There also will be seminars at the Garden of The Gods Club.
The proceeds from the event will benefit the "Fund for the Arts." The group hopes that within 10 years it will have more than $2 million working to support community building efforts for many Colorado Springs arts groups.
One challenge I would throw out to the organizers is why only a two day event? Why not a whole week? Why only 10 vintners? Why not 50? Let's think big.
I picture white tents in Confluence and Acacia parks, with the free shuttles running people between the venues. I picture Oprah Winfrey's personal chef putting on a food exhibition. I picture the finale wine tasting taking place at the downtown convention center (I'm also picturing one of those).
If Des Moines, Iowa, can bring together 69 participating wineries with more than 400 wines and 6,000 participants why can't we?
But even with picturing what the event might be, it will still be a great event – so mark your calendars. For more information contact Liz Youngquist at the Convention and Visitors Bureau at 635-7506, ext.130.
There may be an opportunity to work with another group here. Susan Edmonson and the Colorado Springs Leadership Institute graduates are working on plans for community engagement teams. Two proposed forums are the convention center issue (which I won't go into this again&at least not at this point) and the idea of a Pikes Peak regional cultural commission. These two groups will probably become interrelated. The Fund for the Arts and the cultural commission would seem to make good partners. I am sure that Michael Hannigan and Susan Edmonson will be getting together.
Other groups around the city may also benefit from combining efforts or initiatives. How about all the leadership groups? Colorado Springs Leadership Institute, Leadership Pikes Peak, Springs Youth Challenge and the Chancellors Leadership at UCCS could come together on some issues. Maybe they will be…watch your CSBJ for future updates on these groups.
Arts Business Education Consortium
Another arts-related happening is the April 20 luncheon for the Arts Business Education Consortium at the Antlers Hilton. The event honors supporters of the arts from the community, schools and business. The CSBJ participates by presenting awards to businesses that support the arts.
I attended for the first time last year and was impressed, both by the event and the support of those in attendance.
Joyce Robinson and Lew Davis are co-chairs and the luncheon is underwritten by the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation. The economic impact of a healthy arts scene in the Pikes Peak region probably has not been tracked, but I believe that there can be little doubt that diversity and offering arts programs is beneficial. Colorado Publishing Co. has subsidized the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Magazine for just this reason.
For more information on the ABEC, please contact Joyce Robinson at 635-3220.
Publishers meeting
Two weeks ago I traveled to Portland, Ore., and spent several days with other business journal publishers. In addition to discussions about accounting procedures (which were actually quite interesting) we discussed initiatives at our respective papers, human resources issues and editorial excellence.
It occurred to me that we were all running our businesses in similar ways, yet at the same time there were differences because of our separate markets. In addition to Colorado Springs, the cities represented were Baltimore, Milwaukee, Portland, New Orleans, Kansas City and Minneapolis. As a publisher, I face the same challenges that most business owners and managers do – containing costs, increasing revenue and market share, as well as putting out the best product possible.
On that last note, we appreciate any feedback you have. So please call me when there is something you like in the CSBJ. On the other hand, if there is something that you don't like, call our editor, Mike Boyd.

Indulge in our new Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroons – the perfect complement to your Tims coffee.*
*Certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Program. Used under license. Product is pre-packaged and not prepared at restaurant. At participating restaurants for a limited time.
Tim Hortons Introduces First Certified Gluten-Free Menu Item
New Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon offers celiac and gluten-intolerant guests a tasty treat to enjoy with Canada's Favourite Coffee
OAKVILLE, ON – July 10, 2013 – For the estimated one in 133 Canadians affected with celiac disease, grabbing a quick prepared snack when they're on-the-go is not a simple task, as hidden sources of gluten in product ingredients are always top-of-mind. To help make that choice easier, Tim Hortons is now offering a new Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon – the first menu item in a Canadian quick service restaurant to be certified gluten-free through the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) Gluten-Free Certification Program.
"We've made a commitment to our guests to provide balanced menu choices, and the new Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon is an example of that," says Donna Finelli, Vice President Marketing, Food and Merchandise, Tim Hortons. "Given the growing number of people who have celiac disease and gluten intolerance, we're making it just a little bit easier for friends and families to enjoy eating together at our restaurants. And the new macaroon tastes fantastic, which makes it a great snacking option for everyone, not just those with gluten intolerance."
The Tim Hortons Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon is certified through the Canadian Celiac Association Gluten-Free Certification Program, Canada's only voluntary certification program designed for manufacturers of gluten-free products. The CCA's Gluten-Free Certification Program trademark assures Canadians with celiac disease and gluten intolerance that products are safe to consume.
"Living gluten-free can be challenging, especially when it comes to dining out," says Peter Taylor, Executive Director, Canadian Celiac Association. "The new Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon is a clear example of Tim Hortons' leadership in the quick service restaurant industry for offering a high quality, high value product to a growing segment of the population."
The new Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroon is a meringue-style cookie made with real coconut and drizzled with milk chocolate, and is sold in a pre-wrapped two-piece package to avoid cross-contamination. It's available at Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada for $1.29.

I realize that the internet needs another recipe for caesar salad as much as it probably needs another new spin on chocolate chip cookies (guilty as charged, of course). Thus, it was nowhere on my agenda to suggest one. Plus, I've told you before that the only caesar dressing I need in my life is my hopelessly, unapologetically inauthentic one — no raw yolks, no tinned fish, and keeps in the fridge for a month, easily — which I've shared in some form over here and in Smitten Kitchen Every Day (in a salad with broken eggs and crushed croutons that you need in your life, trust me).
But earlier this year I was invited to be on Cherry Bombe Radio, which records at the Heritage Radio Studios, which broadcasts from two recycled shipping containers behind the Roberta's Pizza in Bushwick, at the edge of the garden where many of Roberta's ingredients are grown. My son was home from school that day and I do not know what the 9 year-olds in your life are like, but if I told the one I've been assigned that I was going to be hanging out somewhere eating legendarily delicious pizza and not invite him along, he'd (rightly) declare it excessive cruelty. So he came along and along with pizza, ordered the very caesar-y romaine salad with candied walnuts and he declared it the best salad he'd ever eaten and begged me to make it at home. Again, I don't know what the grade-schoolers in your life are like but I consider it a general rule that if a kid requests salad, they get it.

Update On Confirmations, Withdrawals & Cancellations: 6 May 2009
Posted by rajiv on 6 May 2009
Each week's schedule comes out on the preceding Thursday morning.
You can confirm for any of the sessions listed in the post any time after the post is put up, and as many sessions as you like. Please take note of the venue, date and time of the sessions in the post itself, as these may have changed from the preceding week. There is no need to wait to receive the Extra by e-mail on Thursday or Friday before confirming. In any event, there may not be an Extra every week.
"Confirming" means you would like to play and are able to play. As I said before, confirming carries a commitment to turn up (on time) and play for the whole session (subject to any unforeseen circumstances). It also carries a commitment to pay a share of the cost of the pitch.
Some points to note on confirming:
- After you confirm for a session, you will be listed as playing that session on the "Current Schedule" page. If you confirm after the session has been filled, you'll be "wait-listed".
- I have no issue with anyone confirming on behalf of others. However, if you confirm on behalf of another, you're "underwriting" that other person's commitments, so I suggest that you only do so if that other person cannot access the blog at that time, and is someone you trust or has confirmed to you by SMS or e-mail that he is confirmed.
- Our regular sessions are fairly demanding, so if you haven't played for a while, or are coming back from injury or illness, or otherwise feel that you are not fit enough to last a full hour, please indicate as such. If there are two concurrent sessions that night, I'll put you down for the less demanding session. If there is only one session, any two of you can confirm as a pair of players, so that the two of you can take turns.
- If you subsequently have to withdraw, please do as a comment to the schedule post. You can find the link to the correct post through the "Current Schedule" page.
- If you would like to play but can't confirm yet, I'll put you down as "unconfirmed". ("Contingent" was being used to mean other things, which got confusing). It gives you no priority, except that if there are still places available on the day of the session itself, I will contact you first to see if you are able to play.
- If, in your confirmation, you get the venue wrong, I'll put you down as "unconfirmed", as I can't be sure if you'd want to play at the venue stated in the post.
- If you are able to play, but are not committed to playing (although you'll play if we are short of players), I'll put you down as "in reserve". If you later change your mind and want to play, please indicate as such, and I'll put you in (if there are still places left at that time). Conversely, if having confirmed, you would like someone to take your place, but you'll play if we're short of players, please indicate as such.
- If you are able to play on several days, but would only like to play on one of those days, I'll put your name down for all the days, but I'll put your name in brackets for your second or third choice. If your preferred session is cancelled, I'll remove the brackets from your second choice, so you'll still have the same priority for your second choice.
- If you withdraw less than 12 hours before the session, in addition to adding a comment on the blog, it would be good if you could try to find your own replacement. I have provided everyone with the telephone list. If you withdraw less than 6 hours before the session, in addition to adding a comment on the blog, please find your own replacement. If I can, I will try to help find a replacement, but there is no guarantee I will be available to help out. If there are participants "wait-listed", of course, try them first.
In order for a session to go on, we need a certain number of confirmations either 24 or 48 hours before the session. As The Cage accepts 24-hour cancellation while the other venues require 48-hour cancellation, we need to reach the following number for the session to go on:
- At least 7 confirmed 24 hours before a session at The Cage.
- At least 7 confirmed 48 hours before a session at Sports Planet or Turf City.
If we haven't reached that number in that time or soon after, the session will in all likelihood be cancelled. Unless you've indicated that the cancelled session is the only one you are available to play or that you can't play any other session, I will SMS those confirmed for that session to see if they are able to switch to another session for which there are still places available.
If we have at least 7 confirmed a day or two before the session, with our pool of participants, we can usually get to 10 before the session itself. If necessary, I will SMS those who often play on that day or at that venue to see if they would like to play. Anyway, we can manage with 8 at The Cage.
Late cancellations should be the exception – if there are late withdrawals and/or we cannot make up any shortfall in players.
Like I said before, it's all a numbers game. And every individual confirmation counts.

Late withdrawals haven't been a significant problem for a while now, but perhaps time for a reminder soon.
18 September 2009 at 11:17 am
I've been trying to cut back on the SMSing for ages now.
It's reaching the stage where I only SMS newer players, or if take up for a session is very slow, or there are still a couple of places to fill before the session.
As far as possible, confirmations or even just indications of interest on the blog please.
The advantage of indications of interest is that if there are still places left, I will SMS you before I SMS anyone else to fill any places that remain or become available.
18 September 2009 at 11:19 am
A number of additional games have been proposed due to the public holiday on Monday. Sessions or games will be cancelled if there are insufficient players due to people being away for the long weekend or for any other reasons.
20 September 2009 at 11:26 pm

25 September 2009 at 12:52 pm
Apart from Tuesday sessions being regularly cancelled in the first quarter of this year due to insufficient players, cancellations have been rare since 1 April 2009:
• There were no sessions on three consecutive Mondays, 20 and 27 April 2009, and 4 May 2009, due to insufficient players.
• The sessions scheduled for Sports Planet on Thursday, 30 April 2009 and Wednesday, 6 May 2009 were cancelled due to insufficient players. This was period when the mid-week Sports Planet session was being switched from Thursday to Wednesday.
• The Tuesday sessions scheduled for The Cage on 2 June 2009 and 23 June 2009 were cancelled due to insufficient players.
• The session scheduled for Wednesday, 15 July 2009 at Sports Planet was cancelled due to insufficient players.
• I tried scheduling two sessions on Wednesday, 29 July 2009, one at Sports Planet and the other at The Cage, to accommodate larger numbers, but both were cancelled as there were no players.
• A Thursday session was cancelled two weeks ago.
• The session last Sunday was cancelled, somewhat unfortunately.
Cancellations have occurred less frequently since we started routine Sunday sessions at Turf City (from 10 May 2009 onwards) and routine Saturday sessions at Sports Planet (from 4 July 2009 onwards).
Adding the weekend sessions has allowed the pool of players to grow faster, which has benefited the weeknight sessions.
28 September 2009 at 9:55 am

5 October 2009 at 7:43 pm
The Cage e-mailed me about a month ago to say they need 48-hour notice for cancellations too.
From now on, we need at least 7 confirmed at least 2 days before the session to be reasonably sure it will go on. If we have less than 5 confirmed, it will most likely be cancelled.
Yesterday's session was cancelled but if those interested in playing had indicated their interest in playing sooner, it probably would have gone on.
Like I said, it's useful to let me know that you're interested in playing, even if you can't confirm yet.
21 October 2009 at 7:12 pm
If you confirm for another, don't forget you are "underwriting" his attendance, so best you remind him of the session on the day itself.

An update on our little friends
April 7th, 2009
A few weeks ago we posted about our strangely extensive viking collection. Well, the only markings we had for these cool wooden toys was "Brdr. Bonfils" in Denmark, but thanks to keen eyed reader Charlie we learned that these little guys are some of Danish designer Jacob Jensen's earliest pieces and that "according to his website they were part of a line he did for International Gift Corporation in 1958".
Now we just wish that we had the accompanying viking ship themed box. Thanks to Charlie for the update!

Today our little dervish is telling us the story of Aladdin and his 3 wishes. Our little dervish says that even with 3 wishes most people cannot find happiness or understand that their ego will sabotage them and will control their choices. There are many tales from around the world that illustrate this point but the tale of Aladdin is among the most famous.
The overarching theme is that the person blessed with three wishes makes the wrong choices and in the end must use the last wish to undo all the harm they have done.
This doll was commissioned by Sirajunmunira from WaldorfMagicGlade on Etsy.
The wood toy is a Montessori manipulative I have used in this context to represent the 3 wishes.
Please share your ideas for using creative play to learn about the stories of the Muslim world.

Aadhar-enabled point-of-sale (PoS) machines at 20,778 fair price shops in Karnataka will use biometric authentication of 1.08 crore below-poverty-line (BPL) ration card holders to release rations. According to sources, Aadhaar seeding has been done for the card holders and kerosene is already being given to them through Aadhaar authenticated coupons.
The state now wants to take this forward by linking the Jan Dhan accounts of the card holders through Aadhaar.
Karnataka's food and civil supplies secretary Harsh Gupta told ET: "We are aiming to introduce Aadhaar-based payments for rations within a month. Ration card holders don't have to pay in cash. In fact, they are currently taking rations on credit."

The SCM Story
page 3 of 5
Smith-Corona and Marchant Incorporated
The 1950's brought an increase in the complexity of operating a business, with rising costs, and increased international competition. Although Smith-Corona had taken steps to diversify and broaden its product line, Marchant remained fundamentally a one-product company. The two organizations were both leaders in the business equipment industry with no direct competition between them.
The merger of these two companies in 1958 to form Smith-Corona Marchant Inc., was the major step in building a strong diversified corporation. Later in 1958, Smith-Corona Marchant acquired British Typewriters, Ltd., considered to have the most modern typewriter factory in England.
The Election of a New President
Following the 1960 Annual Meeting, President Elwyn L. Smith, who had made important contributions to the growth of Smith-Corona for forty-one years, announced his retirement from active management. The Board of Directors elected Emerson E. Mead as President. Although born in New York City, Emerson Mead grew up in Hinsdale, Illinois. Even as a youth, he was a success in business, buying old Model T Fords and selling parts at a profit. While working days at the Union Tank Car Co., in Chicago, he studied accounting at Northwestern University night school from 1935 to 1940. In order to learn manufacturing from the ground up, Emerson Mead became a shipping clerk with American Expansion Bolt & Mfg. Co., Chicago, in 1942. By 1944, at the age of 28, he was plant superintendent.
The following year, having saved $4000, he left the factory to set up his own business. He soon turned Mead Manufacturing, an electrical control and switch company, into a million-dollar-a-year business.
In 1949, he joined Kleinschmidt Laboratories and helped expand sales from $300,000 to $12 million a year. In 1956, the company was purchased by Smith-Corona. Edward H. Litchfield, board chairman of Smith-Corona since 1956 and Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, explained the purchase this way: "We had old management and a weak engineering staff. Kleinschmidt had able young management and some engineering depth. We bought Kleinschmidt, in part, because we wanted Mead."
When Emerson Mead became President, each of the Company's divisions had its own sales organization, and administrative management was spread from Syracuse, New York, to California. A decision was made to open a new Corporate Headquarters in New York City in November 1960. The city offered many advantages from both a marketing and management point of view.
Smith-Corona Marchant staffed its new offices at 410 Park Ave with an integrated marketing management team. National sales managers and vice-presidents working in close coordination under on vice-president of marketing represented wholesale and retail sales forces in the field. Engineering, finance, manufacturing, and marketing executives were in closed contact. The Company's image change rapidly to reflect the new organization.
Photocopy Products
In June of 1960, Smith-Corona Marchant moved into the photocopy business on a major scale by announcing the immediate marketing of three machines, the Vivicopy 9, 12 and 14 models. The move involved a comprehensive program of expansion in which all the company's facilities and marketing know-how were brought to bear on what research indicated was a virtually untapped market.
All models operated on the diffusion transfer principle utilizing light and a developer for the instant transfer of an image on white sensitized paper. Historically, the major problems with photocopy equipment were emptying and filling the machine with solutions and providing a method of retaining the solution for a sufficient length of time. Many attempts hand been made to utilize bags, pumps, tanks, reserve tanks, and replenisher tanks of various sorts to solve the problem. No development had been successful until the development of the "Tru-Cartridge System" which was introduced in the SCM Vivicopy 12 unit. This new development eliminated solution handling, Also, because there was an additional supply of solution stored in the cartridge, beyond what was pumped into the machine, a much longer solution life was possible – far longer than that afforded by any other machine on the market.
Accounting Machines
Smith-Corona Marchant also entered the accounting machine field in 1960.
A line of accounting machines, including the Bookkeeper, the Accountant,
the Cashier, and the Accountant with punched card output was introduced.
These products were manufactured for the Company by Kienzle Aparated
G.m.b.H., a leading West German office equipment manufacturer. Both the
Account and the Bookkeeper were made fully automatic through the use
of interchangeable, multi-program control panels.

The secret of Japanese porcelain skins! 日本祛痘の秘法,パーフェクトレシピ
Acne, the signal of health…
About 80% among the skins troubles are mostly related with internal factors such as hormonal imbalance, genetic inherit, stress, unhealthy diet & lifestyle, poor liver & intestinal health. Therefore, solely depends on topical anti acne skincare products might not solve your problem thoroughly and permanently.
Start skin clearing from inside out
Kiwi AC+ always fix the skin problem from its' root, neutralizes the acne environment as the bacteria multiplies and feeds on blood toxins and excessive production of oil.
Acne Development
Acne is a common skin inflammatory disease that usually appears on face, chest and back. It occurs when the pores of skin being clogged by sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria.
- Genetics – Acne is inherited from the family acne history. Our genes influence how sensitive of skin react towards hormones changes, bacteria and chemicals.
- Hormones – Hormones like androgen or testosterone will increase in both boys and girls during puberty, which activate sebaceous gland to enlarge and secret more sebum.
- Poor liver health – deficiency of liver functions causes accumulation of toxin in body.
- Inefficient intestinal detoxification – poor intestinal health influence skin inflammation, oxidation stress, nutrients deficiency and accumulation of toxin.
- Prescribed medications – Some drugs containing hormonal factor like corticosteroid, androgens or lithium which might disturbing hormone balance, which cause to abnormal sebum secretion and development of acne.
- Oil based cosmetic – Oil based cosmetic contribute excessive oil and greases, which may contribute to the development of acne and even worsen the acne condition.
- Stress – Our steroid hormones like glucocorticoids and adrenal androgens will be released when we're under stress. These stress hormones activate the oil gland and potentially to clog your pores, and so to cause breakouts.
- Diet – Those foods like high carbohydrates and sugars that spike your blood sugar level will need extra insulin to regulate blood sugar level. Thus, the insulin also signals the sebaceous gland to release sebum in excess amount which causes the bacterium P.acnes to proliferate and clog up the follicles.
- Humidity and environmental pollutants – In summer, the hot weather causes more sebum to be secreted on skin. This can cause blockage to follicles when sebum combines with sweat. The swelling of skin from heat or high water content pressurize your follicles causing inflammation.
