Oh Crap.
Godspeed Susie!
Oh Crap.
Godspeed Susie!
The concussion thing is troublesome.
Hang in there girl!
UPDATE: Susie Goodall Racing rang again. She is OK..Small amounts Water coming in through many holes in the deck filing bilge every hour but all pumps are fine. All battery charging has been damaged by salt water. He emergency water was lost in the roll over when the cap burst. Broken glass jars and food is spread through the boat and over pillow and sleeping gear. All gear in the saloon has crashed forward and is a mass pile up. She is cold from time on deck and now will get warm and rest. When I told her about the huge following and good wishes from around the world she was VERY grateful happy to hear that but she is certainly very disappointed and feels she has let her followers down.
Chile RCC have confirmed the 229 meter Liberian registered 85000tonne BULK CARRIER "TALIMEN" on a voyage from ABBOT POINT in Australia bound for TABARAO in Brazil has altered course headed NE to SUSIE. ETA in about two days.
I was pulling for her to win.
Now I'm pulling for her to survive.
UPDATE. MRCC Chile controlling the Rescue of Susie Goodall Racing have tasked a closer ship the Hong Kong Registered MV "TIAN FU" (Blessed by Heaven) to head toward SUSIE's Position. The master has agreed to help. She is a 190mtr, 38,000 tonne general cargo ship sailing from China to MADRYN in Argentina with an ETA there of 17th DEC. ETA at Susie's current position is 0500UTC 7th DEC. We thank the Master, crew and owners of this ship for their assistance. Thank you also to MV "TALISMEN" now released. #GGR2018
UPDATE...Susie is OK but it is tough out there..she still can't believe she is about to evacuate from her boat, but is now focused on preparations and the very real challenge of getting off the boat. She appreciates the risks and the efforts involved from so many. Here are the main points discussed from the call a short time ago..The SHIP will arrive in the middle of the night her time at 0500UTC 7th DEC. #GGR2018
She is not able to hold down any food or drink and feels quite weak. This is possibly sea sickness.
She managed to get a few hours sleep last night
She has set an anchor and rope off the stern as a sea anchor.
She CANNOT RUN HER ENGINE YET! still trying..
Sea is currently 5mtrs with a 4 mtr cross sea making it very confusing.
The Bilge fills every hour but is easily pumped and contained.
She CANNOT rig her emergency RADAR REFLECTOR but has her SART ( Radar Transponder READY.
She will rig one emergency NAVIGATION LIGHT tonight for arrival of TIAN FU.
She had an operational VHF MARINE hand held radio with full batteries.
She is prepared to launch the LIFE RAFT on long rope if needed for transfer.
GGR has advised her to be prepared for two possibilities 1. Small boat transfer if conditions allow...2. the ship will be positioned beside her with a PILOT Ladder or Cargo net over the side. If so DHL STARLIGHT will be stationary in the water with a sea anchor holding head to wind.
The ship may be in Ballast only which means a high sided ship to climb up. We discussed all preparation issues with both operations. A life raft transfer could be considered but all decisions will be made by the master of the ship at the scene.
I would think a sling would be the best option, lowing an able body crew member to assist.
SUSIE IS ON THE SHIP!!!!! wowowowwo!! message just received..from Susie Goodall Racing
ON THE SHIP!!! Position: 45' 10.711 S 121' 40.157 W at 07 Dec 15:14 UTC
THanks to all involved and the Master and Crew of the TIAN FU!!! Fantastic news. THANKS to MRCC CHILE..and UK MRCC.This is fantastic news indeed...well done to SUSIE too!!!! WOOP WOOP!! #GGR2018
Previously: From Susie Goodall Racing
Its going quicker than planned the cargo ship has arrived! The waves are still 3-4 metres and theres a glimmer of light on the horizon.
Susie has activated her SART (Search And Rescue Transponder) so they can locate her via radio (not so easy from a 190m-long ship!) , dropped her sea anchor and is testing the engine.
The plan, if approved by the master of the ship, is to use one of its 4 cranes and hoist her onboard. The sea is too rough to deploy their woman-overboard rescue boat. The ship will keep moving at a couple of knots so it can steer and then lower its crane.
If her engine is working (it was briefly), Susie will motor alongside, put on her lifejacket and climbing harness, and get ready to clip in. Therell also be a bag or 2 she can tie on. Now comes the tricky part
Because both Susies boat and the ship are swaying, the crane will be far from steady. Shell have to time it right and prepare to be yanked off the boat.
Fingers crossed!
Great News!
Great news!
Now back to your regular programming!

Down Among The Dead
The Living Corpse takes down a lycanthrope, enjoys some brains thanks to his obsessed goth friend Lilith a morgue worker, and gets a bit of a lecture from a demonic friend. Meanwhile, it seems the FBI may be looking for him.
I started Thulhuween with a vampire; I thought to follow it up with a heroic zombie. Why not? This is a short little tale that ran for 8 issues. I'm missing issue #0 which is why I started with #1. I picked it up a few years back during a deal my former LCS had in which you could fill a long box with comics and get each book for $1. I did this several times giving me a lot of random stuff that I've not read to this day. Sadly, that LCS is no more. Thulhuween was a good excuse to break into the boxes and dig out some horror titles.
Getting on with things, I rather liked this issue. The art is a bit to webcomic-like for me, at least how Lilith appears. I expected the usual Zenescope art that Grimm Fairy Tales and many of their other horror titles have spoilt me. That isn't to say it's terrible; I just expected something different. By the end of the issue, I was just fine with things.
Lilith is an interesting character. Of course a goth girl would work for a morgue and bring her zombie friend brains. What other arrangement could there be? Part of me isn't too happy with this the same way you see other undead paired conveniently with workers in a field which benefits them. Perhaps it's just because I've seen it too much. Oh, well. It is what it is and if that's the only possible gripe I have, then this book is doing really good. I can get over that.
The writing is very good and it moves a long at a good pace. I'm already looking forward to the next issue and learning more about why that FBI agent is so obsessed with undead beyond that he was there at ground zero. I half expect some family connection and I hope that's not the case. I'm tired of that storyline, too. It's not a bad book, overall-certainly not ground-breaking or important in any way, but it's entertaining in a way light horror splashed with humour can be. We'll just have to see how it holds up in the next issue.

C|M|LAW Professor Jonathan Witmer-Rich and C|M|LAW student Brendan Heil published a Op-Ed piece in today's Cleveland Plain Dealer. Titled Keep DNA evidence private, their article appears in a written pro/con debate in the Sunday opinion pages responding to the Ohio Supreme Court's recent decision in State v. Emerson. According to Witmer-Rich and Heil, in Emerson, the Court held that 'the Fourth Amendment does not protect an individual's personal DNA profile.' In the Court's words, "[a] person has no reasonable expectation of privacy in his or her DNA profile extracted from a lawfully obtained DNA sample." Witmer-Rich and Heil argue that the Court unnecessarily eroded DNA privacy for Ohio citizens. The Plain Dealer, upon receiving the piece, solicited a response from Jacob S. Sherkow (a fellow at the Center for Law and the Biosciences at Stanford Law School), linked below. Although the Plain Dealer will not be publishing responses, Witmer-Rich and Heil respond below to Sherkow's piece.
To read Witmer-Rich and Heil's article, please click here: http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2012/12/keep_dna_evidence_private_jona.html
To read the other side of the debate, written by Jacob Sherkow (Stanford), please click here: http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2012/12/dna_profiles_vs_sequences_jaco.html
In response to Sherkow, Witmer-Rich and Heil offer the following:
First: Had the Ohio Supreme Court reasoned the way Sherkow did–clearly distinguishing between a limited "DNA profile" and broader types of DNA information, and making clear it was only the former that enjoyed no Fourth Amendment protection–it would have been more plausible and less alarming. The decision used much broader logic than Sherkow does, and thus has potentially broader implications than his (more reasonable) opinion. That's partly why we called the opinion not only "startling" but "unnecessary," i.e. the case could have been affirmed on much narrower grounds.
Second: Sherkow's argument is that we need not worry about the government using our DNA profile, which "only" identifies us and does not represent the entire DNA sequence. This suggests that there should be no objection to the government requiring everyone in the country to submit a sample to a national DNA database, so long as only the profile is used and not the sequence. If you find this troubling, you should find something troubling about Sherkow's view.

Maddie is so very excited about the arrival of her new baby brother. Everyday we talk about what sorts of things she is going to be able to help with. From baths, to picking out his "tiny super cute clothes" and even changing his diaper. (only if it's not green and stinky...) She is going to be one GREAT helper.
As the days grow closer, I can't help feel those last days of being a Mom of one. :) Maddie has played such a huge role in our life for the past three and a half years. As much as we tried not to make her the center of the world...there are moments were I know she is. :) She has brought more joy in our lives that I ever thought possible. We can't wait to watch her grow as a big sister and learn to share with her new little bro. :) Life is about to change for sure....

The benefits of Coconut Oil Pulling
Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice to detoxify the mouth and body. Oil pulling with coconut oil involves swirling the oil around the mouth and pushing/pulling the oil through your teeth for 5-15 minutes. During this time, the swishing of the oil draws out toxins & bacteria from within the mouth and the naturally occurring Lauric acid in coconut oil helps to whiten teeth as well as having anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. The oil is then spat out and with it the toxins and bacteria that have accumulated in the oil are removed. If 5-15 minutes sounds like...

|This article is about the engine. You may be looking for the episode.
Your worthy Sir Topham Hatt thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We diesels don't need to learn; we know everything. We come to a yard and improve it. We are revolutionary!
"Devious" Diesel, as his name implies, is a sinister diesel shunter and the first diesel engine to arrive on Sodor who originates from the Other Railway. In the television series, Diesel is a permanent resident of Sodor.
Diesel first arrived on Sodor in the same way as he did in the Railway Series and was sent away for spreading rumours about the big engines, but returned when Duck and Percy needed help at Arlesburgh Harbour. Diesel proved to be as bad as ever and was sent away for good after shunting some trucks of china clay into the sea, but he somehow mysteriously sneaked back to give Mavis advice, taunt Gordon about the triumph of diesel power on the Mainland and shunt trucks in the Shunting Yards. It is possible that these events happened during Diesel's stay or that Diesel returned at some point with goods from the Mainland.
When Henry was derailed by some trucks, Diesel was brought back as a last resort to do his goods work, but his attempt to prove his worth resulted in him falling in a barge and he was sent back to the Mainland yet again.
Later on, Diesel returned yet again, this time to assist Fergus at the Sodor Cement Works. Diesel became jealous of Fergus' reputation as the "pride of the Cement Works" and concocted a scheme to make Fergus run away. Diesel was partially successful - he managed to make Fergus abandon his post for a time - but was ultimately foiled. Amazingly, Diesel was not sent back this time round and remained on the North Western Railway.
Despite remaining tricky and devious, Diesel learned how useful steam engines can be when Thomas brought fresh diesel fuel for him and the other diesel engines and James pushed him back to the Repair Yard when he broke down. However, he tried to convince Gordon that he was old and clapped out, Ben that there was a monster inside a tunnel and Thomas about the "Curse of the Cliffs" and scared him at Halloween.
But Diesel proved to have a good side inside him when he told Emily about his record he made for shunting lots of trucks in one day then any other diesels and proved to Thomas that he did not ruin the photograph for the billboard on purpose.
Although Diesel made fun of James when he was painted pink, he tried his best to prove himself to be as useful as the steam engines when he took all of the Jobi wood to the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre - only to put himself in danger requiring Thomas to rescue him. However, Diesel tried again to prove how special he is when he took Thomas and Rosie's loads to market and stole James' pigs so that the children could see them. But it was only when Diesel brought the load of slate for the school that he proved himself Really Useful.
Diesel was also one of the Diesels that took over the Sodor Steamworks. He later teased Flynn for just standing around and doing nothing.
In Blue Mountain Mystery, Paxton told Diesel about Luke and Diesel tried to get Luke sent away from Sodor.
Diesel was annoyed when Percy thought he was the Monster of Brendam and later teased Thomas for being a stinky engine and teased Gordon when he was fitted with a yellow and black diesel bufferbeam. When he and Percy collected a calliope, he thought Percy would not be able to make it play, but was surprised when he did.
In the seventeenth season, Diesel was one of the diesels that brought the Christmas decorations to Tidmouth Sheds. Later, he was biffing trucks around even when Edward told him to stop. Diesel spilled the milk in the trucks and when the Fat Controller opened the truck doors, the milk splashed all over his trousers. When Hiro told Diesel, he told Hiro to toughen up with the trucks. But when Hiro would not listen, he coupled himself up on the back of his train and helped the trucks play tricks on Hiro. To make the trucks stop, Hiro braked suddenly before the platform, causing three barrels of cream to splash all over Hiro, Edward and the Fat Controller. Diesel tried to get away, but was blocked off by Thomas. As punishment, Diesel had to learn the proper way of handling trucks by Hiro.
In the eighteenth season, Diesel, along with Sidney, Den and Dart, hid from Paxton at the Dieselworks, which resulted in Paxton going on a wild goose chase to find all of the diesels and ended with Diesel running out of fuel, so Paxton helped him to the next station to get some more. Later, he argued with Thomas over who should be the back engine for a train of trucks heading from Ffarquhar Quarry to Brendam Docks and when he tried to delay Mavis returning to the quarry, Thomas took the train by himself, which resulted in him having an accident. Diesel even tried to blame Mavis for it, but the Fat Controller was wise to his tricks and he let Thomas work with her instead. He later joined the engines at Knapford during the Christmas Holidays and agreed with Sir Topham Hatt that the last train might have to be cancelled. He also teased Samson about how the tank engine got lost when he first came to Sodor.
In the nineteenth season, he tricked Percy into going to an old quarry so that he could do Percy's job of picking up the mayor to take him to a ceremony. Diesel later found Percy stuck in a flood with his fire out. He tried to rescue the tank engine but only made the situation worse when the water damaged his generator, so he got stuck too. After the two were rescued by the Search and Rescue team, Diesel was sent to have his engine repaired. He later covered Paxton in a cloud of black smoke from his engine, leaving Paxton's face covered in black spots.
At Christmas time, Diesel was being very unhelpful with the extra work, so Thomas and the other engines made a plan. On the night before Christmas morning, Thomas, Emily, Salty and Paxton pretended to be ghosts to scare Diesel, scaring him to the point where he flew off the line and derailed. After he was recovered the next day, he learned the true meaning of Christmas. On Christmas morning, Diesel was feeling very merry and he brought the Fat Controller to the Earl's Christmas lunch at Ulfstead Castle.
In the twentieth season, Diesel was shown to care for some ducklings that he thought were cute. He then realised that diesels can be nice. Later, Annie and Clarabel played a trick on Daisy while Thomas was on quarry duty, and after Diesel was sent to pull them instead, much to their dismay.
In The Great Race, Diesel wanted to go to The Great Railway Show, but the Fat Controller was hesitant. To prove himself, Diesel had crates put over Den, Dart and Paxton so that they would resemble trucks and put them in a long train. When the Fat Controller was in the final stages of choosing who would go to the show, Diesel planned to demonstrate how strong he was by pulling the train, while in reality, Den, Dart and Paxton were doing most of the work. However, his unusual train was blocking any way into Knapford Yard. Thomas was coupled to the train both so that he could get into the station and so that he could prove himself worthy to go to the show. The diesels heard Thomas's whistle and thought it was Diesel's horn, so they began pushing, much to Diesel's horror. Thomas then collided with Norman at a set of points and lost his left buffer as a result. Diesel later got stuck inside one of the crates, and was accidentally loaded onto a ship by Cranky.
Diesel is, in essence, the average pantomime villain. He is oily, malicious, devious, scheming and full of ideas to get revenge. He views himself and any other diesel of his kind as highly above the steam engines, and believes that all diesels are "revolutionary" - he has also claimed diesels should be "rough and tough", as an excuse for bullying the other engines. His antics giving diesels on Sodor a bad reputation, which causes most steam engines, particularly Duck and Thomas to mistrust him.
However despite his antics, Diesel still wants to prove himself to be a really useful engine. He is also very proud to be the first diesel on Sodor.
Diesel is based on a BR Class 08. Over seventy members of this class survive today in preservation, while around 100 remain in service on the national rail network. They were in fact the most successful shunting engines in the world, with 996 of them built. The Diesel Shunter, Splatter, Dodge, 'Arry, Bert, Paxton, Sidney and The Great Railway Show Diesels are also members of the class.
Diesel is painted in the British Railways' black livery. His livery originates from British Railways in the 1950s, during the time when all shunting engines were painted black. His side rods were silver until the sixth season and have been black in every season after.

This protocol aims to study intercellular transport of mitochondria, dynamic cellular organelles via tunnelling nanotubes (TNT), a cell membrane extension of cytoskeletal elements. The nanotubular bridges or the tunnelling nanotube highways are one of the emerging new cell-to-cell communication systems which mediates exchange of cellular materials, most importantly as in our observation, mitochondria. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been well studied to be endowed with a highly efficient intercellular mitochondrial donation ability and this property is now proven crucial to its functional role of rescue in cellular therapy.

Again this isn't a recipe, though it is an easier to follow that my parenting advice.
My life sucks, no it really does, we are always close to broke, we never get to travel or go out for nice dinners, or buy new clothes. That would be a really easy way to frame my life, except I don't (at least most of the time I don't). Instead I look at the ways that our life is amazing.
I love my new job, I get to be around books all day, work with other book geeks, and there is nothing better than helping someone find a book they're looking for or helping them to discover a new writer. Even shelving books is enjoyable since it means I get to learn about everything new.
We have a close group of friends who we have known for years who we do fun and amazing things with; dinners, community farming, swimming in the river, Sunday mornings at the coffee shop.
When we have time we go camping in some of the most beautiful places in the world (free Forest Service Camping). We eat well, go slow, hike and climb, and as an added treat go to the hot springs (usually our only expense other than ice cream and gas).
We can't go out to eat often but we have learned to cook all those dishes that we crave (well most of them) when we do go out to eat we head down Federal Boulevard for Vietnamese or Korean food at neighborhood restaurants that aren't expensive.
The lazy answer on clothing is that I actually like thrift stores better, I hate malls where you go from store to store looking at stuff from only one season. At a thrift store it's all together, and if you are patient you can find the nice stuff you are looking for. (I once found a $250 Eileen Fisher sweater I was dreaming of for $3 ).
But does trading one thing for another really make you happy? It isn't a promise of happiness. But looking at the situation from the view of what is real and great in our lives makes it seem so rich and full even if there is a lot of problems. I'm not avoiding the problems just not letting them take over my life.
I spent years obsessing over all the problems in my life. All there was pain and depression, the worst of it leading to crippling insomnia. Then it came to me one day that things were never going to change unless I could see any part of my life as wonderful. Sort of a "fake it until you make it" situation.
I found that my camera was one of the best tools for this transition. I could capture the parts of my life that have beauty, I started to look for those moments all the time. I still do this as a reminder. This is why my instagram feed is full of pictures of food and buildings and writing. It helps to have these reminders that my life isn't all bills and laundry.
I still have days, and even weeks when I feel like the world is collapsing around me. But they don't last as long or send me tumbling into weeks of dark sleepless depression.

For those of you who really know me, you know that there is an organization that is near and dear to my heart: 4-H. I was fortunate enough to be a member of 4-H from the time I was 5 years old until I was 18. The activities and projects I was a part of through 4-H were designed to make a leader out of me. But 4-H isn't just about workshops and retreats; 4-H is about community involvement.
The 4-H program aims to create strong leaders, but to be an effective leader one must be active. In my opinion, one factor that separates great leaders from the good is that great leaders are always willing to step up and reach out. Good leaders only react in crisis situations. 4-H taught me it is my responsibility as a citizen to stay involved in my community. Nobody wants to live in an unsuccessful community so EVERYONE must stay active for the community to thrive. Through my volunteer work with 4-H, I did not feel like I was just some kid; I felt like I was actually a member of the community.
In my 13 years as a member of the 4-H program I participated in countless community service projects. The projects ranged from sustainability efforts to assisting the elderly. Our club cleaned up trash along a local highway, we organized can food drives, baked cookies for 4-H donors, cleaned and made repairs to the local VFW hall and sang Christmas Carols to the elderly in the area. These are only a handful of the projects that I participated in. The variety of volunteer projects I was part of made me the well-rounded person I am today. At a young age I understood the different parts of community and how they must all work together to keep that community up and running. We picked up trash alongside the highway, but while picking up the trash we learned not to litter and the negative effects of littering. There was always something to be learned from the volunteer projects.
The experiences I had while volunteering through 4-H had everlasting effects on me. Today I am still an active volunteer in my community and even though it is my duty to stay involved, I truly enjoy being active in my community and watching it thrive.

A conference that generated the equivalent of 461 tons of carbon dioxide will end up helping a rural power project in India.
Like most large international conferences, the United Nations climate summit meeting in New York this week generated a hefty dose of greenhouse gas emissions.
Hundreds of presidents, prime ministers and officials from across the globe this week took airplanes to the United Nations meeting, some accompanied by dozens of people. Limousines and motorcades ferried the dignitaries from airports to meetings to hotels and back, often getting stuck in Midtown Manhattan gridlock.
But since the goal of this meeting was to reduce the global emissions that have been linked to global warming, the United Nations decided to try to do something about all the carbon dioxide produced by the delegates: it bought carbon offsets.
Under a new and expanding program for offsetting emissions, United Nations administrators calculated that the meeting would generate the equivalent of 461 tons of carbon dioxide, with air travel being the single largest component. They offset those emissions by directing money to a power project in rural Andhra Pradesh, India, through which agricultural leftovers like rice husks and sunflower stalks are turned into electricity for the local grid.
The offsets are intended to cancel out the carbon dioxide emissions created by airline travel or driving by financing green projects that will eliminate as much CO2 as the polluting activities create.
Since most of India's power is currently produced by burning fossils fuels, like coal, producing energy instead at the Andhra Pradesh biomass plant reduces India's overall carbon emissions.
The United Nations first tried its hand at large-scale offsets two years ago, shortly after Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who called Tuesday's conference, took office and declared that climate issues would be a central theme of his tenure.
"The secretary general started talking about greening the U.N. and that we needed to lead by example," said Dan Shepard, a United Nations spokesman in New York.
Earlier efforts at offsetting emissions, Mr. Shepard said, were less systematic, and over time, they have become more sophisticated and rigorous. The United Nations hopes eventually to apply the offset system to all meetings, "as well as individual travel," he said.
Of necessity, figuring out how much carbon dioxide needs to be offset for a large meeting involves choices. In calculating the potential emissions of the New York meeting, the United Nations tallied the airline emissions for the flights of each leader and one aide, even though many of the leaders who attended have larger delegations.
It can also be difficult to monitor how the money for offsets is used and to calculate how much carbon dioxide is actually saved. Officials chose an offset project certified by the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations for carbon credits. The project is on track to receive the Gold Standard — the highest reliability ranking for carbon credits, much like an A rating for bonds. It has also brought jobs and electricity to a poor part of rural India, which supports the goals of the United Nations, according to literature describing the project.
"This is a whole new ballgame for us," Mr. Shepard said.

A versatile full-range booster
This vacuum tube booster can be used for a mid-boost, treble-boost, and overdrive, in addition to a full-range boost. Its Baxandall tone circuit allows adjustment from the flat position to the desired boost or cut range. Raising the gain will gradually apply a low-cut, giving you an overdrive sound that's strongly reminiscent of sought-after vintage tones. An independent mid-boost switch lets you switch the response of the mid-range, which is ideal for playing lead. This is a great unit for blues guitarists who wish to highlight their picking nuances.
Newly-developed Hi-Volt technology that overturns expectations for compact effect units
Hi-Volt technology enables the vacuum tube to operate at 200V while still running on a battery. This enables a true tube-driven sound that overturns your expectations for a compact effect unit.
What is Hi-Volt?
VOX has revealed a vacuum tube circuit technology called Hi-Volt. It delivers high voltage (200V) to a 12AX7 vacuum tube by using 6x AA batteries or the DC9V power supply.The discrete circuit works at 20V, which is still considered high voltage operation compared to other general effects products. The result is a natural and dynamic tone which is similar to that of a vacuum tube amplifier. Even though vacuum tubes are considered big by modern component size standards, our engineers were able to keep these pedals small, so you don't have to worry about them taking up too much space on your pedal board.
Gain control that lets you vary the character of your sound
The transistor amplification circuit has also received a good deal of consideration. We've designed the gain control so that adjusting its position does not simply change the amplitude, but will also change the tonal character in a subtle way. From zero to max, it yields an array of highly usable and natural overdrive tones.
Carefully designed power supply circuit that extends vacuum tube lifespan
Since high current flows through a vacuum tube when the power is turned on, we have provided a heater current slow start circuit that extends the lifespan of the vacuum tube and also avoids malfunctions for the AC adapter.

- Discrete circuitry
- The result of a relentless design philosophy
- True bypass design provides tonal confidence even when the effect is off
- Tough die-cast body that stands up to the rigors of the road
- Newly developed Hi-Volt technology allows the tube to operate at 200V, even on battery power
- Gain control lets you adjust the tonal character
- Heater current's slow start circuit ensures vacuum tube longevity

Absolutely magnificent in every way! Isla Vista is a wonderfully private villa with no adjacent neighbors and tucked behind a private gate. Isla Vista commands sweeping sea views from a breezy hillside, tucked in its own private enclave behind an electronic gate. Lushly landscaped grounds surround this very secluded three-bedroom luxury home, bordered by pristine Virgin Islands National Park lands, but conveniently just a few minutes' drive into Cruz Bay. Isla Vista features a spacious two-level floor plan with stunning custom interiors, expanded by dramatic island views stretching to the horizon.
Arriving into the paved courtyard, Isla Vista's arched portico ushers you into the gallery. A grand arched doorway trimmed with island mahogany frames the pool just outside; with a tiled travertine deck for sunbathing punctuated by gardens and stately palm trees, the pool area overlooks a picture postcard panorama of sky and sea, Cruz Bay below, the green expanse of unspoiled National Park, and St. Thomas in the distance.
The gallery opens to the Great Room, offering plush sofas for conversation, reading, relaxing or watching "DISH" TV offering all sports, movies and music stations. This entire system is operated by the latest SONOS system so you can listen to music inside the villa and out by the pool... including your own personal music list. The Great Room also features a handsome mahogany and marble wet bar for cocktails and a formal dining area for six. On the other side of the entry hallway is Isla Vista's fantastic gourmet kitchen. With lots of space for chefs and onlookers, this grand area is beautifully crafted in mahogany cabinetry, granite countertops, and features a professional gas cooktop, a bountiful array of cooking and serving pieces, lots of small appliances, and an office nook - all wonderfully laid out and equipped. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate open-air covered barbeque room with a stainless steel gas grill.
From the kitchen through the gallery, past an eye-catching large trompe l'oeil wall mural, is the villa's first king bedroom. And just down the hall is Isla Vista's second king bedroom, a sophisticated pool-level sanctuary with its own secluded garden patio. Both pool-level air-conditioned bedrooms feature California king beds, and share a lavish bath with double sinks and a separate WC. Arched mahogany french doors connect each bedroom to the pool and sun deck just outside, perfect for an impromptu midnight swim.
A graceful staircase ascends from Isla Vista's main-level gallery to the opulent master suite. The modern mahogany four-poster king bed, personally designed with handcarved pineapple accents, faces a wide arched doorway which escorts you out to the dramatic curved balcony set with table and chairs for two. This favorite spot overlooks the pool and the magnificent sea vistas in the distance; this balcony is the place to be for cocktails, savoring technicolor sunsets every evening. The large master bath is pure splendor, with a sleek travertine vanity with double sinks, a separate WC, a step-out balcony, and just outside, your own private alfresco shower pavilion bordered by serpentine walls which curve around manicured gardens. The shower pavilion expands into a tiled terrace, a private and peaceful spot for reading and quality time together.
In 2019, two new one-bedroom suites have been added (above the garage), each with ensuite bathroom and satellite TV, increasing the maximum occupancy of the property to 10 guests.
Isla Vista's exclusive breeze-swept Caneel Hill location and its amazing views are indeed impressive, but the artful interior design and its polished and luxe detail put this home in a special class by itself: cool, smooth travertine floors throughout, vaulted cypress ceilings, rich mahogany cabinetry (some with handcarved detail), windows and doors, exquisitely-designed custom lighting inside and out, and artistic stained glass windows. The motif of grand arches continues throughout Isla Vista, gracefully melding one part of this villa with another; the floor plan has a very pleasing flow and provides lots of space and seclusion. Designer furnishings are absolutely top-notch, elegant and placed with your ease and comfort in mind.
It's only a quick 5-minute drive into Cruz Bay, with all of St. John's shopping and dining pleasures conveniently nearby.
Refined perfection and luxurious privacy reign at Isla Vista. Share the many sun-kissed pleasures of St. John and the beauty of this superb home - what a memorable backdrop to lazy days spent here unwinding and lazing in the sun. This is the ultimate couples' vacation oasis!

Earlier in the day, EA CEO Andrew Wilson explained the launch issues that plagued Battlefield 4 and said that it was "unacceptable." While that might have turned away some shooter fans from the game, there's still a lot who play — and — enjoy DICE's latest offering.
Those fans will be glad to know that DICE has finally revealed the contents of the game's next expansion, Dragon's Teeth. As the name implies, the maps will be based in Asia, withe the key features of the DLC listed below.
4 all-new multiplayer maps set in Asian cities
– Lumphini Garden
– Pearl Market
– Propaganda
– Sunken Dragon
5 weapons all-new to Battlefield 4
Unlock the new gadget – a Ballistic shield that blocks incoming bullets
A new Battle pickup: The R.A.W.R., a heavily armed remotely operated ground vehicle
Link together capture points to win the battle in the new Chain Link game mode
10 new assignments with unlocks for each
The maps are described as,"Wreak havoc in a floating restaurant or drain the lake opening up for a frontal vehicle assault, all while the battle rages between the modern high rises of Sunken Dragon. Fight among the huge monuments of despots in the grey concrete Propaganda. Wage wars within the bustling alleyways and upon the rooftops of Pearl Market. Cruise with fast-moving PWC's on the canals in the pristine park to get the upper hand in the blazing infantry battle of Lumphini Garden."
No official release date has been revealed other than "summer 2014," but I assume it's close,given EA's release schedule this year includes a new Battlefield game in BF: Hardline hitting in October, and BF4 Dragon's Teeth is the second to the last DLC for the DICE-developed game.
Are you getting Dragon's Teeth or are you still playing in Operation Metro up to now?

The Complete InMotion Web Hosting Review for Beginners
Need somewhere to host your website? Finding a web host, whether you're new to running a site or looking for a new home for your website, is often difficult. With so many hosts, and hosting options, researching the right host can slow down your move, or even put it off completely.
Here's how InMotion Hosting can make hosting a site simple for beginners and experts alike. Get up to 50% off using this special link!
Time to Pay for Web Hosting?
At some stage, every website owner takes the decision to pay for hosting.
Perhaps your site has got along fine; it might be a blog hosted freely on WordPress.com or Blogger. Perhaps you use cloud storage to host your website, or perhaps your website is embedded within a single URL thanks to the Itty Bitty method.
Whatever the case, signing up to pay for web hosting is quite a big decision. Often, webmasters are tempted to pay as little as possible, and the results usually correspond with that low outlay. Instead, we'd suggest paying just a little bit more to make sure you don't end up wasting your Sunday trying to deal with an uncommunicative web host who has decided to delete your website (trust me, it's a bad way to end your weekend).
While various options are available, InMotion Hosting is a particularly good example of an affordable web host with good customer support.
Get Started With InMotion Hosting: Choose a Package
To sign up with InMotion Hosting, you'll need to choose the right type of hosting for your needs. These different hosting packages come with various benefits and advantages, based upon the type of site you plan to run. For instance, a busy site will require more bandwidth than a small personal blog.
Similarly, a site with thousands of hourly visitors will typically require a dedicated server, rather than shared hosting.
As this is a beginner's guide, we're assuming you're setting up a basic static site or WordPress blog. For these purposes, you should use InMotion Hosting's WordPress Hosting Package. This is available from $8.99 a month, with the option to upgrade hosting as your site becomes more popular.
With this package, you'll get a free domain for running one website. It's suitable for 20,000 unique monthly visitors and comes with 40GB of SSD storage. This gives everything a speed increase, as SSDs are faster than traditional hard disk drives.
This package also offers unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, and the BoldGrid WordPress building framework. If you have little to no web design experience, this drag and drop system can help you design your own layout. Check the BoldGrid website for more information.
InMotion hosts all options on Linux servers. Unusually, InMotion Hosting doesn't offer a Windows Server option. If this is a must have for you, look for a different reputable web host The Best Web Hosting Services: Shared, VPS, and Dedicated Looking for the best web hosting service for your needs? Here are our best recommendations for your blog or website. Read More . Check InMotion Hosting's main page for other hosting options.
How Does InMotion's Subscription Compare?
InMotion Hosting is already a popular option for anyone wishing to launch a website, or move their site from another host. But does it really give good value?
With five packages on offer, you're immediately going to spot that InMotion Hosting is more expensive than its competitors. Big names like GoDaddy and HostGator offer a more complicated range of options, however, and it's easier to find yourself stuck between different packages.
With InMotion Hosting, the limited choice makes it simpler for you to choose the right package and get the best deal. For example, WordPress hosting on InMotion is (at the time of writing) $7.26 a month. Meanwhile, you can find a similarly optimized experience on GoDaddy for as little as $3.99 a month, or $4.99 with greater bandwidth. (GoDaddy also offers packages for managing multiple sites).
Similarly, Hostgator offers WordPress plans from just $2.75 a month. However, its packages are apparently the same as the standard plan, so there's little obvious optimization.
The Benefits of InMotion Hosting's Plans
These sites (and others) aside, InMotion Hosting offers some important benefits, which we think goes towards justifying the price. First, and most importantly, is the level of customer service.
I'm not the only one on the MakeUseOf team who's been stuck in endless circular online support conversations, seemingly unable to solve the most simple of problems. No one wants this. Fortunately, that's not the experience you'll find with InMotion Hosting.
A couple of minor issues sprung up while I was setting up my site. I sent an email outlining the problems, and they were quickly dealt with. In 13 years of running websites, I've never had such good service.
The second benefit is the quality of the customer portal, the Account Management Panel. Here you can tweak account details and access the cPanel backend for your website. Many hosts make this part of the experience unnecessarily complex, and a little disorienting. Fortunately, that's not the case with InMotion Hosting.
Easy Site Setup
InMotion Hosting makes setting up your site really simple. If you need to create a static site, you can simply upload the pages through cPanel.
But what if you want something more complicated? Fortunately, InMotion Hosting offers scripts to install pretty much any type of website, from blogs and forums to wikis, e-commerce tools, image galleries, video hosting, and much more. (Note that hosting your videos as an alternative to YouTube can quickly become expensive.)
All you need to do is identify what you want to install and click Install Now. You can do this from the main cPanel with popular scripts, or install other web software via the full list.
Note that if you opted for the WordPress Hosting, the popular blogging software will come preinstalled for you. You'll also receive the login details via email.
Migrate Your Website to InMotion Hosting
If you haven't purchased a domain name with your signup, you can easily migrate an existing domain to InMotion.
All you need to do is request the correct name server address, then log into your domain registrar account. Here, simply replace the existing name servers with the InMotion Hosting replacements. If you make a mistake, you should be able to revert to the original name servers without too much trouble.
Presumably, you also have a website attached to the domain. In this situation, you should back up your site's files, export any databases, and basically have a copy of the site ready to migrate. InMotion Hosting provides detailed steps for anyone wishing to move their existing site to new hosting.
Need Email? Try InMotion Hosting Webmail
Once your website is set up, it might be smart to have an email address with the same domain. InMotion Hosting offers email, with a straightforward user interface to help you create addresses, add passwords, and set mailbox quotas.
Once created, you have two choices.
- Access emails via your usual email client: this is simple enough, and the email system can email instructions to aid with this.
- Install the WebMail Lite script via cPanel: this is a webmail solution, along the lines of Gmail or Outlook.com, where you can collect emails in your browser.
The easier option is to rely on WebMail Lite. Just remember to configure your email account once you've set it up. Usefully, WebMail Lite works with any IMAP-enabled account, so you could use it as your primary email application!
Need a New Web Host? Try InMotion Hosting
With good-quality customer service, easy site setup, and a monthly subscription reflecting the quality of hosting and support, InMotion Hosting is an excellent option for any individual looking for a new or first web host. Get up to 50% off using this special link!
Migration options are straightforward, and the range of web applications to choose from is considerable. In short, if you need a high-quality web host that you can rely on, but are limited by a low budget, InMotion Hosting should be at the top of your list.
While many good free web hosting services The Best Free Website Hosting Services in 2019 Here are the best free web hosting services that offer a lot and have a better reputation than most. Read More exist, if you have big aspirations for your site, give them a boost with InMotion Hosting.

BCN Honey Festival: Barcelona's Sweet New Festival
When it comes to what's hot in food right now, food festivals are a trend you don't want to miss. Barcelona has it's fair share of food festivals year round, but this spring an exciting newcomer has arrived on the scene. The BCN Honey Fest arrives May 20 in the Parc de la Ciutadella, and is already creating a buzz.
The BCN Honey Fest offers everything you could dream of, from honey infused food and drinks to taste, to demonstrations and workshops, and a full program of interactive, educational, and fun activities all day for the entire family. A market area will be offering all honey and bee related goods from local vendors. Also featured, Bee Talks, a series of scientific and cultural presentations lating only fifteen minutes each on the many aspects of honey and bee life.
However, what makes the BCN Honey Festival so sweet is it's unique cause. The BCN Honey Festival, while also celebrating the deliciously sweet, focusses on the plight of the honey bees, who have faced a steadily declining population for the past thirty years. This is thought to be due to a reduction of habitat and the use of pesticides. As one of the largest pollinators in the world, they are responsible for one third of what we eat. This means that without these tiny tireless workers, grocery store shelves and market stalls would be nearly empty.
Although the Honey Festival might be new to Barcelona, co-founder Steve Rogenstein has been one of two organizers of the NYC Honey Festival in New York. Using his experience, he has prepared a unique and delicious festival that will be fun for the whole family. Come by the Parc de la Ciutadella the BCN Honey Festival on May 20, because it will be too sweet to miss.

Don't get me wrong. I have absolutely no problem with Lake Tahoe's scenery during the fall. The views are as idyllic as any mountainous locale in the world. Really, I'm not complaining. It's just that I have this one minor, teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy gripe. And this is coming from an artist, mind you, so take it with a grain of salt. There's always one small element missing from Lake Tahoe's autumn landscape, and that's the color RED.
Sure, some Sierra Nevada flora does transform into a burnt orange or rust color, and there are even a few leaved bushes that yield a reddish hue. However, there's nothing nearly as brilliant or bountiful as the deciduous forests of my youth growing up in the upper Midwest.
I realize that I no longer live in the Midwest but, again, I'm an artist and have developed a fondness for seeing the full spectrum of colors in nature during the fall. There's just something so definitive about witnessing a green leaf turn red to mark the passage of time and signal the shift from one season to the next.
In 2012, I finally found some "red leaves." Apparently one or two local artists slated for a community-based art project failed to make good on their commitment.
My name was passed from one person to another as a backup to a backup for the project. Or, so the story goes. I can't recall the details of how it all manifested, but the bottom line was that I was tasked with decorating a resin-cast sculpture of a Kokanee Salmon.
The overall concept was to celebrate the Kokanee Salmon and their fall spawning season. Multiple artists had been selected to decorate multiple sculptures. Once completed, the fish would then be displayed at prominent locations around South Lake Tahoe. When I inherited the project, I had about a week to complete the thing and I knew nothing about Kokanee Salmon.
More important than the details about the actual project, however, is what I learned while performing research about the Kokanee Salmon.
Each October the Kokanee Salmon return to Taylor creek (map at bottom of article), which is located on the south shore of Lake Tahoe just south of Emerald Bay. Here, they procreate and subsequently die.
Taylor Creek is where they were originally introduced into the Lake Tahoe Basin in the 1940s. As juveniles, or fingerlings, the scent of Taylor Creek was imprinted on their senses. Once a rush of cold water from the creek (usually brought on by fall rains) flows into Lake Tahoe carrying the creek's scent, many Kokanee Salmon between the ages of 2-4 years old return to spawn.
As part of the spawning process, Kokanee Salmon turn a bright red color in order to attract a mate. And I mean bright! Believe me when I say this is a sight that should be witnessed at least once by every visitor to Lake Tahoe during the fall.
The sexual preference of the Kokanee (for the color red) has been passed down from Sockeye Salmon, which are of the same evolutionary branch.
But whereas Sockeye Salmon swim to the ocean and eat lots of species that contain carotenoid pigments enabling them to turn red, Kokanee Salmon are land-locked and have adapted by processing the pigments with far more efficiency.
There's simply less food in freshwater that contains carotenoid pigments but their preference for the color red has remained, hence their adaptation.
In addition to transforming from their natural silver-blue color to red, males develop a green head and fins, a hump back, a protruding jaw (that gives them a serious overbite), and big teeth.
Although this Mr. Hyde-like appearance can be a bit startling, their intense red color is arresting. These transformative characteristics are designed to intimidate other male Kokanee so that they (the ones doing the intimidating) have the greatest chances of mating.
As the Kokanee make their way up Taylor Creek a female, having selected a mate, begins to make her nesting area called a redd. She establishes this redd by swimming in circles and swishing her tail around a specific area to create a 4-6 inch pocket in the bed of the creek.
Once completed, she deposits her eggs and moves on while her selected mate fertilizes the eggs and then guards the site. The female can lay eggs in multiple redds depositing between 400-1200 in total, but each male will remain at their respective site.
Only a tiny fraction of the total eggs will end up surviving despite the males' best efforts to protect them. Within a few days of laying the eggs the female will die, followed shortly thereafter by the males. Although, the males sometimes survive for up to two weeks following the fertilization process.
It takes approximately 3-5 months for the surviving eggs to hatch, at which point they'll lie in wait beneath the gravel for another couple of weeks developing the ability to feed themselves.
They then emerge from their hiding places as baby fish called fry. For another month they'll hang out and eat, gaining the necessary size and strength for their journey to Lake Tahoe.
During this transformation from fry to fingerling, they gain their sense of place in Taylor Creek (i.e. they learn its distinct scent). As fingerlings the Kokanee swim out to Lake Tahoe and live for 2-4 years, ultimately to return and continue their cycle of birth and death in Taylor Creek.
The tale of the Kokanee Salmon is a grand one providing a microcosmic look at the macrocosmic world.
What I find most fascinating is that inherent with their story is one very problematic element, and it's the same we all face – living in a finite space. Taylor Creek is barely two miles long. Because the creek is so limited in size it's also limited in resources and it's constantly at the mercy of nature.
Many predators in the vicinity know of this place. Water fowl such as Mergansers will actually eat the whole adult fish, while Mallards and other fish and critters will seek out their eggs.
Once the Kokanee spawn and die their rotting carcasses scent the air, so you'll see a number of scavenging critters show up such as Raccoon and Coyote.
Although Black Bears are known more for eating vegetation, they'll still wind up congregating around the banks of Taylor Creek. For this last reason, it's not uncommon for Forest Service personnel to close off the upper portion of Taylor Creek to visitors.
Other problematic factors for the Kokanee Salmon that are directly related to the small size of Taylor Creek are:
- Drought conditions
- Excessively wet conditions
- Presence of Beaver dams.
If there's no rain to fill Taylor Creek and send a cold rush of water carrying its scent into Lake Tahoe, Kokanee can be slow to begin spawning. Even when they do begin to swim upstream they're faced with a lack of water in which to travel and lay eggs. It's also been noted that with a lack of water comes a lack of oxygen which adversely affects the development of the eggs.
Too much water introduced into Taylor Creek at one time due to flooding conditions, for example, threaten to wash the eggs downstream and either destroy them or leave them unprotected.
Beaver dams are not inherently bad things, but they stem the flow of water down Taylor Creek and limit the real estate in which Kokanee can spawn. In response to this situation, Forest Service personnel will often cut notches into the dams to allow water to flow more freely down the creek. On paper it's a great idea, but in practice it's challenging. Too small of a notch has no effect. Too big of a notch floods the creek and will wash away the eggs and/or cause extra erosion to the banks of the creek and deposit excessive sediment into Lake Tahoe. If the notch is cut just right (in a bad way), it'll act as a fire hose and create such a stiff current that the fish will become too exhausted to carry on.
Another way in which the Forest Service aids in the survival of the Kokanee Salmon is to place fingerlings in the middle of Lake Tahoe and other mountain lakes so that they may find another location in which to spawn each fall. This approach has yielded some success as evidenced by sightings of Kokanee spawning in the Truckee River, for example.
The Kokanee Salmon are a non-native species to Lake Tahoe and clearly require some management in which to enable their survival. So one of my questions was, "Why bother trying to protect and save them?"
The fact is that they're not an invasive species. They're not trying to take over the place. For reasons beyond their control, they've been introduced into the Lake Tahoe ecosystem and are simply trying to survive.
In many respects, they do actually contribute to the overall health (ecologically and economically) of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Not only do they provide food for many native species, they are also an attraction related to outdoor recreation in the form of sport fishing and sightseeing.
And, I might add, they've added a little red color to the landscape during the fall at Lake Tahoe.
Each year around the first week of October, the Taylor Creek Visitor Center (a satellite location of the Forest Service's Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, complete with tours and gift shop) holds its annual celebration of the Kokanee Salmon spawning season called the Kokanee Salmon Festival. It's worth taking the family to in order to learn more about this cool species of fish.

When Houstonians began rolling out of bed on Thursday morning, they may have noticed a strange-looking rain falling outside. It was white...and chunky. That's because it was a combination of freezing rain, hail and snow, which stuck to cars, roofs and plants through the early morning hours. This is the third time in two weeks the city has experienced wintry conditions, something we sometimes don't see in two years let alone two weeks.
Fortunately, it appears that is coming to an end for now. Moving into the weekend, it should be warming up fairly significantly and we should have a pretty nice couple of days on our hands.
Friday will remain cold and cloudy with highs barely climbing above 40. We could see some rain showers in the late afternoon to early evening, but that should clear overnight with temperatures dropping only into the upper 30s. I say only because, well, you've been around here recently, so you know. Saturday, however, is shaping up to be a really lovely day with highs in the low 60s and sunny skies.
By Sunday, the moisture in the atmosphere will first emerge as fog and then ultimately as rain showers late in the day leading into the early part of the week ahead of another cold front that should come through on Monday.

Looking out into next week, forecasts are calling for gradual warming with highs in the 60s for a big chunk of the later part of the week and no snow in sight. That's quite a change even for us here in Houston.

y = monthly deposit to index fund
z = 1 - % by which market has declined. (For example, if the previous balance was $100, and the market was down by 2%, z would equal 0.98.)
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Ed and I were trying to figure out what to do about our 401(k).
What we're told to do, and what we did do during the 17-month bear market of 2007-2009, is nothing.
That's John Bogle: "Don't do something. Just stand there."
That's what we did.
We stood there for the entire 17 months.
Worse than that: we continued to contribute money.
Ed finally took a close look at his Vanguard statement last week. Seven years later. He found that for the first several months of the bear market, his balance stayed the same.
Which meant that every penny he and NYU were putting into the fund, month after month after month, was instantly burned up in the market. Every penny. Not one survived.
Then at some point, presumably in October 2008, the account balances started going down. Which meant that not only was every new penny being burned up, but now the old pennies were being disappeared as well.
17 months of this.
We're not doing that again.
A paper loss is a real lossThe money we lost didn't come back.
New money came in.
That may sound like a distinction without a difference, but it's not.
The reason the market made such huge gains after 2011 was that the Fed did quantitative easing. If the Fed hadn't done quantitative easing, there was no reason for stocks to go back up. The Bank of Japan didn't do quantitative easing when they hit zero, and Japan's stock market declined for two decades, losing 3/4 of its value in that time.
This is America, and the Fed did do quantitative easing, so all things equal I assume they'll do it again if need be.
But I don't assume they'll do it before the market loses more than it has already. The Fed obviously wants, desperately, to tighten money, and tight money is bad for markets.
If, at some point during those 17 months, Ed and I had redirected his monthly deposits to a money market, we would be far ahead of where we are now.
We couldn't have timed the move exactly, of course. We would have sustained losses for a few months going into the bear market, and we would have missed the return of the bull market for a couple of months on the other side.
Doesn't matter. We'd still be far ahead because when we got back in we'd have had lots more to invest than we did when we got out. We've have had all the money we'd protected by putting it in a money market instead of the stock market.
The trend is your friendThe reason people like us are told to put our money in index funds and forget about it is that people like us can't time the market.
(I used to think no one could time the market, but a friend of mine, whose money is managed by Neuberger Berman, tells me she's been earning 1% above market returns, after fees, for years.)
It's true that I can't time the market.
But there's no trick to timing a market that goes down 17 months and loses 56% of its value. That's not a blip. It's a trend.
My new rule: if the trend is up, we're in the market. If the trend is down, we're not in the market. If the market is moving "sideways," which is more or less what it's doing now, we're also not in the market, but we're paying attention so as not to miss too much of the bull market when the bull market returns.
My Fed watching hobby helps with all this, needless to say.
Because the Fed is a monetary superpower.

While the Azusa Unified school board could still decide to close campuses, board members informally agreed last week that there may no longer be a need to close any campuses.
Faced with declining enrollment and a projected multimillion-dollar budget shortfall, in March the board had tasked a committee to determine whether any campuses might be considered "surplus" and thus be eligible for closing. At an April 27 meeting, the committee recommended shuttering Sierra High, a continuation school, and its associated adult education school in Glendora, Mountain View Elementary in Azusa and Magnolia Elementary in Azusa.
At its meeting May 15, the school board opted to table a decision to accept the recommendations to deem the properties surplus and consider them for sale or lease because the committee's report was only made available the morning of the meeting.
The board is set to revisit the report at its June 12 meeting.
Even if the board votes to accept the report, the board is not bound to follow its recommendations, district lawyer Stephen McLoughlin said. What the report does is limit potential school closures to ones on the list.
However, as the school board discussed the possibility of selling or leasing campuses in general, several board members said that regardless of the report's findings, they were opposed to closing any campuses.
Marc Bommarito, assistant superintendent of business services, said on Monday that despite previous projections of a $7.1 million budget gap for the coming fiscal year, new estimates show the district could run at a small surplus for 2018-19, even without any school closures, before teacher benefit increases are factored in.
The closing of the deficit gap, Bommarito said, can be credited to districtwide cuts in staffing and expenditures as well as increases in the amount of money the district is set to receive as a result of Gov. Jerry Brown's May revision to the state budget.
"The committee finished its process, the report is in front of us, but us accepting it doesn't mean we have to take action in the future," school board Vice President Xilonin Cruz-Gonzalez said last week. "I don't feel interested in pursuing campus closures further."
President Helen Jaramillo and board member Paul Naccachian said they agreed with Cruz-Gonzalez. Jaramillo added that board only needs to accept and consider the report, not necessarily take action on it.
"Ultimately, decision-making belongs to the board," Jaramillo said. "Is it the best decision to close a school? No, it isn't."
The board has several options regarding the committee's report, McLoughlin said. Besides accepting it, the board can reject the report, take no action on it and let it sit in perpetuity or call for another committee to be formed to create another surplus property report.

Less engineering time. Less overall cost. Cat® frontless hydraulic excavators give you less of what you don't want and more of what it takes to work hard and stay ahead in your business. With Caterpillar, you get extra flexibility, from the core. This allows you to concentrate on the development of your own unique product solutions and take advantage of integrated solutions from the very start.
So what can you do with a Cat frontless hydraulic excavator? The possibilities are endless, but here's five potential applications we can supply to customers:
1) Variable Adjust Boom
A variable adjust boom is great for situations that require extra visibility, machine roading balance and lifting capability. If you're working in tight spaces or lifting heavy loads, a variable adjust boom will give you the best flexibility to get the job done while providing the right balance in reach and digging forces.
2) Tunneling Machines
Excavators can be used for both surface and underground excavation projects. Tunnel excavators can provide unique solutions to tunneling projects with tunnel heading and loading machines. These machines allow you to work efficiently in soft to medium hard rock as well as when loading excavated material that was blasted. Some even have the option of integrated on-board conveyor systems for loading material without swinging the boom around.
3) Railroad Maintenance of Way
Excavators can provide a sturdy base for road-rail vehicles used to inspect and repair railroads as well as clear vegetation or debris from the tracks. These machines can complete a number of tasks both on and off the railroad track, but with all the freedom of movement and lifting potential that a Cat excavator can offer.
4) Dredging/Drag Flow
Dredging excavators are adapted for severe marine conditions and include optimized front linkage and buckets for maximum capacity, digging depth, and dump height. These excavators are used in cleaning out the bed of a body of water by scooping out mud, weeds, etc. Drag flow excavators feature dredging pumps that are used in a variety of industries, from mining and industrial waste to river clean up and dam maintenance.
5) Amphibious Excavators
Amphibious excavators are specially designed to operate in marshy, swampy areas with soft terrain but can also float and propel themselves on water if needed. Uses for these machines include projects such as: waterway maintenance, erosion control, flood protection, landscaping, wetland construction and road building.
Interested in learning more? Caterpillar OEM Solutions is here to help you find the right excavator-based specialty solution for your business need. Contact us at email@example.com to get started.

Hello lovely people, I hope you are doing well. I have a few events coming up to share with you. I really appreciate your support in coming out to my events and reading my newsletter. It is not always easy to choose the creative road but it is so rewarding to do something I love.
Cougar Canyon Elementary School Market Place
I am excited to be participating in the Cougar Canyon Elementary school market place again this year on Saturday Nov. 25th from 11-4pm. It is a great event that will feature a collection of local artisans and small businesses offering their wares to holiday shoppers. I will have my calendars, art prints, cards, pendants and ornaments that are great unique Christmas gifts. I hope to see you there.
Anonymous Art Show at 100 Braid Street Studios
I have been accepted into the Anonymous Art Show at the 100 Braid Street Studios in New Westminster! There will be a gala opening on Oct. 25th from 7-10pm. Tickets cost $150 and you get a $100 gift certificate to go towards the purchase of a painting, a glass of wine and appetizers. There will also be a free public opening on Friday Oct. 27th from 7-10pm. This a fundraiser for The Camp Kerry Society, an organization that provides bereavement programs and supports to individuals and families impacted by grief, loss, and terminal illness.
Art Classes
The art classes that I run out of my house are going really well. We have been learning about the 7 elements of art (Colour, line, shape, form, value, space, texture). One of the students told me that they were talking about complimentary colours (colours that are opposite on the colour wheel) in school and she was the only one that knew what they were. It makes me happy when kids are excited about art. It also makes me sad when only one student in a grade 6 class knows what complimentary colours are. I believe that colour is part of so many aspects of our lives….from the colours we choose in our houses….the clothes we wear….how colour affects our mood….etc. I just wish there was more funding in the schools for art! The next art classes will be in January on Wednesday nights. Registration will begin the last week of October so stay tuned for more details.
