Private Equity Skewered in New York Times

Quite a comprehensive piece in this weekend's New York Times on the world of private equity - using as a proxy the story of Simmons Bedding Company. This is a great topic and something that speaks to our system - the heads we win, tails we win culture in the upper echelons of finance (and one could argue the entire corporate system) and the costs that are born. I have seen locally for years many cases of private equity's "work" in the auto industry, and the most infamous example is the disastrous foray by Cerberus into Chrysler. But there are a litany of smaller examples both in manufacturing and outside of it. One piece that really woke me up on how the game works was a BusinessWeek article in 2006 on Burger King [BusinessWeek - April 10: Where's the Beef?]; I wrote about this piece about a year ago [Nov 8, 2008: NYT - Debt Linked to Buyouts Tighten the Economic Vise]

...the main story I want to focus on is private equity which were about 18 months ago the new golden children - masters of the universe; the best, the brightest, the new power brokers in our era of cheap credit and looking the other way while they load the companies they buy in debt while running off with huge paydays. So for their self interest they are effectively bogging down company after company and threatening the jobs of many in this country. The fallout will be even more apparent in the current credit situation.

I still to this day, on principle alone, won't buy Burger King (BKC) stock based on this story I read in BusinessWeek a few years ago [BusinessWeek - April 10: Where's the Beef?] I'm not the only one [Nov 19: Cramer Goes off on Private Equity] The irony is the IPO of Blackstone (BX) effectively put in the "top" in private equity.

Private equity firms embarked on one of the biggest spending sprees in corporate history for nearly three years, using borrowed money to gobble up huge swaths of industries and some of the biggest names — Neiman Marcus, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Toys “R” Us.

The new owners then saddled the companies with the billions of dollars of debt used to buy them. But now many of the loans and bonds sold to finance the deals are about to come due at the worst possible time. So, like homeowners with an adjustable rate mortgage that just went up, some of private equity’s titans are facing a huge squeeze.

So here is the story in simple terms and yes I am simplifying for the hard core capitalists out there who defend our beautiful system. Private Equity firms soar in to take over company A (with cheap money handed out by the Fed). In return for providing management expertise (which come at a high cost) the private equity firm usually saddles the company with huge amounts of debt (to pay for said fees), while usually "streamlining" the company (read: cutting many jobs) which helps make the company more profitable in the very near term. With that "value add" to the bottom line the company can then be flipped to the next sucker down the line for a profit. Of course even if they cannot sell for profit they still get their fees for their expertise. Heads they win, tails they win.

So what happens if the acquired company suffers in the long run due to lack of investment in the near term (which helped turbo charge profits)? Who cares. The fees were paid to the PE guys - they've moved on to the next carcass. What happens if (even worse) the company goes bankrupt from the new debts thrown onto the balance sheet. Again - who cares. The fees were paid to the PE guys - next host body to feed on. And what happens when this builds up for a number of years across an entire economic system, with debt levels skyrocketing, posing threats to company after company laden with debt? That's where your Federal Reserve comes in to the rescue making sure a system that was created due to nearly free money is bailed out by... well, more nearly free money. Do you see why the Federal Reserve is so important to our financial oligarchy? Heads they win, tails they win.

"The mind-set was, since the money was practically free, why not leverage the company to the maximum?"

Notice how we keep coming back to the same source of so many of our problems? The vaunted Federal Reserve who simply fixes everything with easy money - and then pats themselves on the back that they "fixed" the problems of their own creation. They do not take responsibility for all the damage they have caused across our financial system ... so many ill effects, too many to measure or count that happen each day because "free market" rates for loans to debtors don't apply to anything.

This also speaks to a far larger conversation about the "system" of short termism - [Sep 9, 2009: WSJ - Vanguard's John Bogle, Warren Buffet Speak Out Against Short Term Nature of Markets] for the benefit of massive profits to a tiny group of people in the country, countless companies are raided, stripped, flipped, and ripped. Great if you are a leech - not so great if you are the host body. Even the Germans (socialists mind you ;)) call private equity firms nothing more than locusts. Meanwhile the unfettered actions of the PE firms are worshiped in the Anglo-Saxon model of the UK and US (how are those 2 economies doing again?). Just since I've started the blog we've pointed out a few examples; I don't really follow this closely day to day - I am sure I missed countless others.
  1. [Apr 11, 2008: This Day in Bankruptcies - Another Airline and our First Major Retailer] Two months before Linens ’n Things was acquired, it reported $2.1 million in long-term debt; by Dec. 31, 2007, that amount had exploded to $855 million.
  2. [Jul 21, 2008: Add Mervyn's to Our Growing Litany of Retailers Headed to the Great Sunset] It would also be an embarrassment to Mervyn's owners. Private-equity firms Cerberus Capital Management and Sun Capital Partners, along with three other partners -- including real-estate investor Lubert-Adler -- acquired the chain from Target Corp. in 2004 for $1.2 billion. The group put up about $400 million in equity and financed the rest. But while thousands of employees would lose their jobs and their vendors would get hurt in a Mervyn's liquidation, the private-equity buyers wouldn't stand to take much of a financial hit. That is because when they bought the company they structured the $1.2 billion deal as two separate transactions -- one for the retailer and a second one for the retailer's real estate.
  3. Sam Zell had a run in with Tribune [Dec 8, 2008: Tribune Files for Bankruptcy] Let’s say that a group of corporate executives uses scads of debt to take over a struggling company, sells off some profitable assets, lays off thousands of employees while achieving miserable results. And then, less than a year after saddling the company with $8 billion in debt, they opt for bankruptcy. You’d expect them to walk the plank, or at the very least, spend a good stretch of time in the naughty corner. But you wouldn’t expect the top 700 managers to collect $66 million in bonuses. ... both the company’s union and the trustee appointed to oversee the bankruptcy raised objections, arguing that the bonuses would be the highest ever paid — even as the company has its lowest cash flow in 10 years.

So this situation of asymmetric outcomes is one we should be asking as a country if we continue to want. But any time you raise some questions you get yelled at (unpatriotic! socialist! best system there is! let the free market live!) Which free market again? The one where the Federal Reserve constantly throws savers of the country under a bus to support the financial oligarchy with easy money? That is not exactly letting the free market work. But who am I to ask these questions - I just provide stories and stare blankly at walls seeing what I see, and shrugging my shoulders since very few care to ask questions. The way I see it, the dogma will rule the land and until the country runs out of hosts for the locusts to feed on, this will continue... all the while many of the hosts repeating the dogma themselves. Ironic.

If you are new to private equity (and let me be clear that some subset of the players involved actually are trying to make sensible deals and think out more than a few quarters or years) I encourage you to read that Burger King piece I listed above, and read / watch this New York Times story.

---> There is a fantastic set of mini 1-2 minute videos the New York Times - wish I could embed them but go here. It takes about 15-20 minutes to flip through them all. This should be a one time "special report" TV show on all the major networks at 8 PM Thursday night so those who only get their news from the Boob Tube could figure out part of what is going on in the country. The series is called: Flipped - How Private Equity Investors Can Win While their Companies Lose.

Again, the New York Times uses as a proxy Simmons Bedding Company for the associated story, and anyone who defends this system of leeches feeding on hosts will obviously find some strategic mistake found at Simmons itself - that's really beside the point. This is but one company in a long line of examples - the question should be about the system, not company ABC or XYZ.
  • For most of the 133 years since its founding in a small city in Wisconsin, the Simmons Bedding Company enjoyed an illustrious history.
  • Simmons says it will soon file for bankruptcy protection, as part of an agreement by its current owners to sell the company — the seventh time it has been sold in a little more than two decades — all after being owned for short periods by a parade of different investment groups, known as private equity firms, which try to buy undervalued companies, mostly with borrowed money.
  • For many of the company’s investors, the sale will be a disaster. Its bondholders alone stand to lose more than $575 million. The company’s downfall has also devastated employees like Noble Rogers, who worked for 22 years at Simmons, most of that time at a factory outside Atlanta. He is one of 1,000 employees — more than one-quarter of the work force — laid off last year.
  • But Thomas H. Lee Partners of Boston has not only escaped unscathed, it has made a profit. The investment firm, which bought Simmons in 2003, has pocketed around $77 million in profit, even as the company’s fortunes have declined. THL collected hundreds of millions of dollars from the company in the form of special dividends. It also paid itself millions more in fees, first for buying the company, then for helping run it. Last year, the firm even gave itself a small raise.
  • Wall Street investment banks also cashed in. They collected millions for helping to arrange the takeovers and for selling the bonds that made those deals possible. All told, the various private equity owners have made around $750 million in profits from Simmons over the years.
  • How so many people could make so much money on a company that has been driven into bankruptcy is a tale of these financial times and an example of a growing phenomenon in corporate America.
Financial Oligarchs always seem to win in our system.

Of course our CEO's are also part of the "heads we win, tails we win" culture - in a smaller separate piece the tale of Simmons CEO for much of the latter part of its non bankrupt life. Again, when you pay people at a level that it does not matter how they perform; they have secured generational wealth no matter the outcome of their decisions... well you have American 'free market capitalism'. The association between wages and performance have completely broken down in the top tranches of our society.
  • Mr. Eitel, former colleagues said, really wanted to bring some sizzle to the ho-hum mattress business. He was paid millions of dollars to run Simmons for several private equity investment companies, first Fenway, then Thomas H. Lee Partners. Like those firms, he fared well, even though Simmons plans to file for bankruptcy.
  • ... while Simmons now faces an uncertain future, Mr. Eitel was a winner in The Great Game of Life. As chief executive, he enjoyed country club memberships, personal use of the corporate jet and thousands of dollars a year in free mattresses. Before stepping down last fall, he earned more than $40 million in compensation, bonuses and perks, according to an analysis by Brian Foley, an independent compensation consultant in White Plains. He earned the bulk of his money when Simmons was sold to Thomas H. Lee Partners. (heads he wins, tails he wins - $40M to help run a company into the ground; boo yah)
  • Mr. Eitel ran Simmons as if it were his fief, several former executives said. His son joined Simmons’s sales force and a son-in-law landed in the company’s marketing department. A daughter often sang at corporate functions and even wrote and recorded a series of songs that were pressed into CDs and distributed at a sales meeting in Las Vegas.
  • ... many former Simmons executives said that he ruled from afar — that he rarely appeared at the Atlanta headquarters. Instead, he spent much of his time in Naples, Fla., where he and his wife built an opulent home with a 1,000-bottle wine room and a multitier cascading pool featuring glass mosaic tiles. The home was listed this spring for $16 million.
  • Mr. Eitel also spent a great deal of time wooing clients from his 80-foot yacht, Eitel Time. With his boat, which had 11 televisions, a hot tub on the flybridge and a sunken granite-topped bar in the salon, Mr. Eitel took customers out for cocktail cruises and junkets to Martha’s Vineyard. The private equity firms that owned Simmons during Mr. Eitel’s tenure appeared to embrace Mr. Eitel’s lifestyle. The first year that Thomas H. Lee Partners owned Simmons, the mattress company even paid the $92,000 salary and benefits for the captain of his yacht.
Did he do a good job? Bad job? I don't know - his company is in bankruptcy - he can blame the PE firm I suppose. But does it matter? Not in Cramerica. Just reach the C level suite - and then keep the seat warm for a few years. Then crow about how few people in the entire world could do this work, and if you are not paid for your acumen you will (a) be unmotivated as opposed to the common peon lower in the company ranks and (b) move to another country. ;) Again, this brainwashing that only a few people on the planet have this skill set (wining and dining on a yacht cannot be too hard?) is what the defenders of the system cry out each time it's challenged. Or they say it's a one in a million anomoly - even though I could post a new example each day if I tried.

It is nice to see the stirring of emotion and understanding in the "comments" section of the story (546 comments!) - many things stay hidden in dark corners until a mainstream newspaper actually tells the tale to the unwashed masses. Perhaps only when a critical mass decide some changes need to happen will there be any real push to reconstruct the system. Hopefully we won't have to wait until it reaches "pitchfork" stage; but until them let the transfer of wealth from the many to the few continues (reverse Robin Hood) while we hear how just 0.2% of America truly has the brains to hold these exalted roles in C-level suite, investment banks, and private equity. Everyone else in the country (or globe)? Just not talented or smart enough.

Yves over at Naked Capitalism also calls out the pirates of capitalism... her well titled piece is: New York Times Fails to Call Private Equity Looting by its Proper Name

The New York Times tonight features a generally very good piece, “Buyout Firms Profited as a Company’s Debt Soared,” by Julie Creswell that falls short in one important respect: it fails to call a prevalent and destructive practice of private equity firms by its proper name.

PE firms in the risk-blind environment preceding the credit crunch got into the habit of producing good to stellar returns by modifying their usual formula. The traditional model was to buy companies with a ton of debt, then improving their bottom line by a combination of partial asset stripping (selling off ancillary operations), cost cutting, and once a blue moon, actually doing something to improve operational performance. Then the company would be sold, either privately, usually to a corporation, or taken public.

But the PE firms found a much easier approach: just pile on more and more debt, and pay themselves a special dividend. No need to do any work, just keep borrowing until you had recouped your investment and then some. And that way you did not need to care how the company fared. If you destroyed the business, it was of no mind to you and your investors. Other saps were left holding the carcass.

Boo Yah! American "free market" capitalism; working like a charm at concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands under the guise that just 0.2% of our nation has the brains, hence deserve all the loot. Source? Dogma.

More than half the roughly 220 companies that have defaulted on their debt in some form this year were either owned at one time or are still controlled by private equity firms, according to analysts at Standard & Poor’s.

STEM Ready Participants Among Entrepreneurs Honored by Governor

STEM Ready Participants Among Entrepreneurs Honored by Governor

Of the startups recognized by Governor Rick Scott recently at the Innovation Hub (link to last week’s article), four—YouthCombine, Eventplicity, RAPiD Genomics and Captozyme –are participants in STEM Ready, the latest talent-boosting initiative undertaken by CareerSource North Central Florida.

STEM Ready is a five-year $10-million U.S. Department of Labor grant-funded program providing training, internships and job placement assistance in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers for eligible unemployed, underemployed, and veteran participants in the Gainesville, Tallahassee and Daytona regions.

“STEM Ready will provide my startup with access to new talent to evolve and leverage technology and reach more youth worldwide,” said Matthew Howland, founder of Youth Combine, one the recipients of the Governor’s Entrepreneur Award. “STEM Ready is giving me a three-month head start on beating our competition to the market.”

Via STEM Ready, employers provide real-world work experience, enhancing the skills of the participant, for up to 12 weeks of paid internship where participants earn valuable work skills in a STEM occupation – all at no cost to the employer or worker. Participants are paid directly by CareerSource NCFL.

In the rapidly changing STEM work environment, STEM Ready’s goal is to connect 600 workers to growing STEM employers.

Currently, in CareerSource North Central Florida’s service area–which includes Alachua and Bradford Counties–over 30 companies are enrolled in the program.

STEM Ready is being implemented on the heels of cutting-edge business solutions, including Startup Quest® and the Healthcare Biomanufacturing Occupational & Technology Training initiative, that CareerSource North Central Florida has implemented to assist Alachua and Brad County employers and workers.

Having cleared our drive of 30 inches of snow, I now have vast amounts of gravel that I accidentally shovelled with the snow onto the lawn.  Any ideas what I can do????

Just rake it off then brush it off when lawn is dry. Maybe have to reseed a bit! Spring feed will help too

I have done the same. Use a lawn rake, one with thin, splayed out flexible tines. It takes time but saves on damage to your mower blades.

Support us

The Cats Protection Gateshead & District Branch is self-funded and run by unpaid volunteers. This means that without the support and kindness of people like you, we would not be able to afford to carry out our work. The veterinary costs for vaccinating, microchipping, neutering, fleaing and worming each cat in our care amount to around £150; then there is the cost of setting up foster pens, providing bedding, litter trays, food bowls and toys; and ongoing supplies of food, cat litter and cleaning materials.

Fortunately there are many ways you can help - from a one-off donation to sponsorship or even a legacy in your will. We are always in need of more volunteers, so if you have some time that you can spare, you can get involved. You could consider one of the following:

  • One of the best ways to help is to adopt a cat from us, and encourage others to do so!
  • We are in desperate need of fosterers to help to look after the cats and kittens under our care
  • Volunteer to help with fundraising
  • Support our local appeals and events
  • Donate as a one-off or regular contribution
  • Donate items to our regular fayres
  • Leave a legacy to our branch in your Will

Comstock Community Farm partners with Gavilan College Computer Graphics & Design Students

Gavilan College Computer Graphics & Design (CGD) students learned first-hand about sustainable farming practices by visiting the Comstock Community Farm (CCF) in Hollister, CA. CCF is a non-profit farm that is also home to three generations of the Salinas family who maintain the five acre community resource. Members of the Salinas family gave students a tour of the homethey built from reclaimed materials in the 1980s, shared fresh onions pulled from the fields, explained their hydroponic lettuce system, described benefits of using drip irrigation for watering, identified many types of fruit and nut trees in their orchards, and helped students find and pick the best greens near their nesting chickens to feed horses from the adjacent farm land.

Gavilan College CGD students are developing real-world technical skills by utilizing CCF’s location to design two sets of distinct projects. CGD Students already visited the farm on-line via Google Earth. They are currently using ArchiCAD, a building information modeling (BIM) software utilized by architects to design and develop a data rich 3D model that will be used to create architectural plans for a 1,200 square foot guest home. Highest performing students from the class will also have the option to design an outdoor educational facility for CCF. Both projects will produce 2D electronic drawings of plans, elevations, and sections along with 3D virtual models to explain these proposed projects.

The outdoor educational facility project will aid staff at CCF to better accommodate the families and students who take fieldtrips to the farm to learn about sustainable food systems and healthy eating. Instructor Colette Marie McLaughlin noted that the trip to CCF also reinforced principles students have learned from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a green building program that aims to lower operating costs, reduce waste sent to landfills, conserve energy and water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide healthier/safer living spaces. For example, CCF refrains from using any pesticides or insecticides on the property, which reduces health risks; uses drip irrigation hoses to reduce water wastage; and utilizes recycled building materials, such as those that were used to build the house and other structures on the property.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Atlantic Restaurant Review

: There's a sophisticated sense of humor at work in Spike and Charlie Gjerde's Atlantic. The oceanic theme sets us squarely beneath the waves in a multi-tiered, blue-gray dining room. In this cool aquarium setting we feast on the sea's bounty, digging into lush lobster bisque drizzled with pumpkin seed oil and meaty Riesling-sauced mussels tinged with saffron. Every dish has flair and a fillip; even sea-faring classics like coddies, Niçoise salad, and linguine with clam sauce have been updated for a chic clientele. The little plates---abundant appetizer-sized portions---are especially appealing, as is the menu's implicit invitation to build a meal on them alone. A crispy crab roll stuffed with savoy cabbage and shiitake mushrooms frolics in a sauce of ginger-spiked coconut milk. A Thai Cobb salad playfully tops layers of creamy green avocado and ruby red diced tomatoes with a heaping squiggle of olive oil-stewed squid, rosy pink and tender as can be. Service here could use a good polish, but comb the compact wine list---by glass or bottle---and you'll find hidden treasures. Do not miss the heavenly oyster stew or the house-made desserts.

Au Pied de Cochon Restaurant Review

: Owner-chef Martin Picard first garnered wide-ranging attention for Au Pied de Cochon (The Pig’s Foot) with his fancy version of a Québec staple, poutine: fries, cheese curds and gravy made upscale with a foie gras sauce. He revolutionized the comfort food found at "casse-croutes" (snack bars) throughout the province, turning it into a gastronomical fast food. The dish provides a good example of how the menu works at this lively, simply decorated restaurant where most tables are closely aligned around the bar and open kitchen. If you order the canned duck, an actual metal can will be opened right on the table and the duck breast and foie gras poured onto your plate over a bed of rice by a proficient server. The Potée du PDC (for Pied de Cochon) lays large pieces of smoked sausage, blood sausage and pork loin side-by-side over the house mashed potatoes, which are infused with melted cheese in an unctuous and rich mix. Expect large portions of rich food and generous seasonal seafood platters paired with addictive sauces.

A THORNBURY chef has been invited to cook at a prestigious celebrity charity event in London.

Romy Gill, the owner of restaurant and catering firm Romy's Kitchen, will be cooking alongside Atul Kochhar at the end of the month.

She opened her Castle Street restaurant last September and became the UK’s first female Indian chef-owner.

Romy's Kitchen is also a fully functioning catering company and cookery school with its own range of condiments and mouth-watering sauces, which has run since 2008.

The talented cook has been invited to by celebrity chef Atul Kochhar to cook alongside him at his London restaurant Benares for the Indian Divas Gala Evening on Tuesday, March 25.

Mr Kochhar was the first Indian chef to receive a Michelin star and he regularly appears on television shows like Masterchef, Great British Menu and Saturday Kitchen.

Mrs Gill said: “I am thrilled to have been chosen to cook at this prestigious event. Cooking at Benares gives me the chance to take my own brand of healthy, authentic Indian cuisine to a completely new audience, and raise money for a very worthy cause while doing so.”

The gala event is to raise money for the first Indian not-for-profit risk capital fund investing in young entrepreneurs living in poverty, giving them the chance to start sustainable enterprises that solve local problems, create jobs and generate income.

It rounds off a successful March for the Thornburian, who has this month been chosen to take part in a three-week pop-up restaurant event in Bristol this summer.

She will be one of the guest chefs at the Eat Drink Bristol Fashion event, set in a tipi in Queen Square.

She is also one of five shortlisted in the inaugural Bristol and Bath Women in Business Awards in the Woman of the Year category.

Adidas adipower Barricade Reviews:

Even though my foot measures a size ten in women's shoes, I have been finding myself asking for 10 1/2 (hard to find, especially in sneakers). I play tennis a few times a week and the slamming of my big toe is becoming too much so I ordered these in a 10 1/2. They were tighter than my New Balance 10's. I didn't like the way they looked either so back they went.
Diane H - customer at on 01/24/2014
These shoes were not comfortable as soon as I stepped in. I could already feel the insole. Moreover, they look like "plastic" and didn't look like a good quality shoe.
Anonymous - customer at on 01/28/2014
These are so clunky and uncomfortable. They felt heavy on my feet and irritated my arch and heel. I returned them.

Hi, I am really at a loss here. When I start the machine (Windows 2000)and login as the Administrator, I get a "No page file or page file too small" error and instructions on how to fix it, that don't work. Access to the C drive is denied, the system will not boot from either the CD or floppy. Setting it to do so in the start up Bios. screen seems to take but it still just restarts or starts in Windows. I cannot switch directories in DOS, it stays trapped in Documents & SettingsAdministratordesktop, so I cannot run the Anti Virus program from C drive or the CD. Also cannot run any program, load a file or change anything on the HD. I can get Word to open if I select a document that is stored on the desktop, but it will not accept any changes to it when I try to save it. I can access the internet but cannot run any on-line scans because the system will not give access to the HD to load the active X files. There has been no email client set up on this machine. However, I still suspect a really mean virus or trojan but can't figure out which one. I am about to reformat the drive and re-install everything but I just hate to give up so easily without knowing why this is happening. The system is a Gateway E series with a 60 gig HD, 256k memory and the O/S is Windows 2000, ver. 5 with SP.4. Under properties on the HD menu in My Computer, the Used space is 0 bytes, Free space is 0 bytes and Capacity is 0 bytes. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? Any help would be appreciated

Almost a certainty, in my opinion, that you have malware, spyware, adaware, and other malicious infestations on your comptuer.
Have you scanned your hard drive with Spy Sweeper, Spyware Doctor, or Pest Patrol lately?

Hi Raybay,
I just received the machine from one of the other company offices - no geeks there. They are lucky to turn the machines on most of the time. I have not tried any of the programs you mentioned. I do have Spybot and Symantec Anti-virus on all machines and they run on every start. Right now, I cannot get anything to run on this machine. Any idea what virus or malware or spyware causes this type of problem?

11/18/2004 (3:58 am) by Ray Bay

Ray Bay
(3949 Posts)

I don't have any specific idea... but I would try to use the free CWShredder, then Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper... if those three don't find it, you have some other kind of problem... and I cannot hazard a guess as to what it might be...

Have you tried just reinstalling Windows 2000 Professional in a repair mode? Have you attempted to use the defragment tool part of Administrative Tools?
With Service Pack 4, you have everything you need, and the Gateway is an excellent machine...
I don't know which way to steer you, but I have seen it before ... several times... and in each case, we had to save all the data we could and reformat the hard drive.

Thanks Raybay. I guess I will have to reformat and start over. I can't save anything because I cannot get into the hard drive at all. Defrag wouldn't work either. I just hate to give up and reformat the drive. I would like to know why or what caused it. Think I'll save this drive as it is and install another. Maybe I can find time to work with it more and get into it to see what is going on. Anyway, Thanks for the help.

Hard drives are cheap nowadays. But a new one ... Seagate 40 GB at Wal-mart is $65... and have all sorts of deals
Save that bad drive, then examine it as a slave after you get the new drive installed.
It definitely is fixable. Look for a good tech in your area.

Does not attract or trap dust, dirt, mud or grit

Unlike grease and oil, this heavy-duty dry lubricant creates a slick, non-stick surface with a dry, anti-friction coating that does not attract or trap dirt or grit. This graphite coating is naturally hydrophobic, which means it doesn’t attract rain or snow and remains slippery regardless of temperature. SLIP Plate No. 1 utilizes a very fine particle size to create a smooth, even and slippery surface. Simply apply with a brush, roller, by dipping or airless spray equipment in a well-ventilated area. Allow coated surface to dry at least eight hours. For extreme-wear applications, apply a second coat after the eight-hour drying period. USA made.

(Water on the Brain)

Hydrocephalus is too much fluid in the brain. The fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is a clear fluid that normally surrounds both the spinal cord and the brain. It is also in the ventricular system of the brain. With hydrocephalus the ventricles, or spaces, become enlarged.
You may be born with hydrocephalus, or it may develop after an injury or illness.
Nucleus factsheet image
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.

Hydrocephalus occurs when:
  • A blockage doesn't allow CSF to drain properly
  • Another condition, such as bleeding, inflammation, or infection, makes the brain unable to resorb fluid
  • An excess of CSF is produced
These problems with the CSF may be caused by:

Risk Factors

Factors that may increase your chance of hydrocephalus include:
  • Neural tube defects
  • Mother has infection during pregnancy, such as:
  • Brain infections
  • Malformations of the brain
  • Brain injuries
  • Brain hemorrhage

Symptoms depend on the severity of the hydrocephalus. The extra CSF puts pressure on the brain. Symptoms may start out mild and become more severe as CSF pressure increases.
Symptoms may include:
  • Headache, which may often be worse when lying down, upon first awakening in the morning, or with straining
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Problems with balance
  • Difficulty walking
  • Poor coordination
  • Difficulty controlling urination
  • Personality changes
  • Confusion
  • Memory problems
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Death
In babies, symptoms may include:
  • Large head circumference
  • Bulging fontanelle on the head
  • Slow development
  • No longer able to do activities they once could do

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests to examine the internal structure of the brain may include:

Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
  • Ventriculoperitoneal shunt allows excess CSF to drain into another area, usually the abdomen. Sometimes a temporary extraventricular drain (EVD) is placed.
  • Third ventriculostomy allows CSF to flow out of the area where it is building up by creating a hole in an area of the brain.
  • Removal of the obstruction of CSF flow.
  • Medication to decrease the production of CSF or to reduce swelling.
  • Lumbar puncture to remove excess CSF.
People who have increased risk for hydrocephalus should be carefully monitored. Immediate treatment might prevent long-term complications.

There are no current guidelines to prevent hydrocephalus, but you can decrease your risk of developing it. In general:
  • Take folate before pregnancy to reduce the chances of neural tube defects and myelomeningocele (a type of spina bifida).
  • Get regular prenatal care.
  • Keep your child’s vaccines up to date.
  • Protect yourself or your child from head injuries.
To prevent certain infections in the mother during pregnancy, take these steps:
  • Talk with your doctor about updating your vaccines.
  • Carefully cook meat and vegetables.
  • Correctly clean contaminated knives and cutting surfaces.
  • Avoid handling cat litter, or wear gloves when cleaning the litter box.
  • Avoid rodent contact.

Gramps Review by sambram,  Sep 30, 2016

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

I tend to agree with others that this software is “unusable”. I initially entered my tree by importing a .ged file from MyHeritage. Apart from over 40 errors about unreadable lines with no explanation, Gramps appeared to import a lot of my data OK, including spouses and dates and places of marriages. However trying to enter a spouse with a data and place of marriage using Gramps menus proved impossible for me to fathom. I could enter a spouse, and separately enter an event called Marriage with a date and place, but could not get Gramps to list the spouse and the marriage details in the same way as the imported data from MyHeritage. this leads me to conclude that Gramps stores them as separate unrelated data items? In any case, the help is useless, since it says that next to the Family lable there is an [Add] button or [+], when in fact there is only a [-] (minus) button. I eventually found the Add Partner button on the (Mac) top menu bar, but even this does not have the functionality described in the Help files.
I’m sure this is a powerful tool, but… (a) is its data structure compatible with other tools so that imported data is represented in the same way as in-tool entered data? and… (b) I get the feeling after an hour or two plugging away that the best way to enter data is to use another tool (e.g. MyHeritaage) and import to Gramps using .ged flles…. Or (hey) I could just use another tool.

Biggest Pro: looks powerful
Biggest Con: impossible to use with any confidence I am doing it right.

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

this has to be the most UN-intuitive program I’ve ever seen. Whoever maintains this dinosaur needs to think……. the very first thing a person needs is a way to start a family tree but instead of naming a file and starting to fill in the info on the person you’re starting with, it takes you on some round about journey that isn’t clear nor intuitive. The help file isn’t very helpful either. Linux needs a genealogy program but this one needs to be rebuilt or rearranged or something to make it usable…..

Biggest Pro: free
Biggest Con: how do you get started ???

Works really well, no installation issues both Gramps 4.2.3 and Gramps 5.0.0-alpha1. For those of you reviewing I suggest mentioning what version you tried as older version do suck a bit.

Biggest Pro: Free, wide range of reports and addon
Biggest Con: Workflow could be improved, too many clicks (So do yourself a favor and install the 3rd party “Form Addon’s”

So I tried this after the Windows version (which didn’t work, see other review). I’m sorry, I reckon I’m pretty good with software, but this just proved impossible to set up. I’m full of admiration for those who build and maintain software that is good enough for others to use, and I’m sure this is as good as lots of people report, but it just isn’t going to work for me.

Biggest Pro: Free?!
Biggest Con: Couldn’t get it installed.

Gramps Review by Martin H. Watson,  Jun 15, 2016

Mark Twain said something like “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

6 months ago, as a total novice genealogist but with a lifetime in IT tech support behind me, I looked at GRAMPS and thought it looked slick but bewildering. I put it to one side and started using ‘My Family Tree’ by Chronoplex, which was simple, and easy for me to input my limited data, 90+ records. 6 months later I was finding it a bit limited, and wanted greater customisation, and web publishing options. I imported my GEDCOM data into GRAMPS and after just an hour, experimenting with it, and generating reports and HTML pages, populated with my own real data, I am stunned. It will take a long time for me to fully understand and exploit all the functionality, but I am totally converted to GRAMPS. Remember to keep a initial GEDCOM file, so that when you are fully familiar with it, you can start again from the GEDCOM file, after trying lot of experiments. If you’ve tried it before and not liked it, try it with your current GEDCOM data file. I never give 5 stars to any review unless it comes with free beer. 4/5 is as good as I ever give.

Biggest Pro: Free and sophisticated, and well worth persevering with.
Biggest Con: Hard on beginner genealogists and/or those with limited IT knowledge, but one day, you see the light. Wow!

Gramps Review by Ben Weston,  Apr 20, 2016

I migrated my family tree from Family Tree Maker to Gramps recently and I have become very impressed with it. At first it felt a bit clunky but after a very short while I started to appreciate its depth and power. It is very flexible and now I have learnt the basics using it is very straightforward. I am quite a light weight in the world of genealogical research but I get the feeling that Gramps is suitable not only for relative novices, such as myself, but also contains features that will satisfy serious researchers.

Biggest Pro: The ability to tailor the views of almost every screen using gramplets.
Biggest Con: Takes a while to discover all its features and how to access them (thanks be to Google).

Gramps Review by Dawn Dove,  Feb 21, 2016

Not Rated

Well after reviewing the web for a couple of days I thought to load Gramps and give it a whirl..After 5 hours I have given up.
Consistently locked my file and secondary pop windows are hidden behind the main screen. Not intuitive for this old dog although I grew up with DOS and have upgrade my knowledge for 20 years.
This may be a great program but I ended up wiping off my system.

Biggest Pro: sorry too frustrated to give a thumbs up.
Biggest Con: Wanted a simple family tree on digital to give to kids.

Gramps is a very sophisticated full featured genealogy software programme, with many more features and capabilities that what I have seen in commercial products. For example, sources are managed at three levels (citation, source and repository) and places are managed in a hierarchy structure (town, county, state, country). Reports and charts are very good. The Gramplet plugins bring more features.
Best of all, it is open source, so your data is not locked in come proprietary file format.

Biggest Pro: lots of functionality for the serious genealogist
Biggest Con: all those functions can make it difficult to learn

Gramps Review by Peter,  Jan 15, 2016

Started somewhere with version 2.x and upgraded continuously to current version. No problems, no data losses. Has lots of possibilities to enter sources and media as well as graphical and text reports and web sites of your family tree.

Biggest Pro: Free, runs on Linux and Windows, very flexible
Biggest Con: takes time to find out/discover all the possibilities and ways of working

Gramps Review by Mathieu,  Jan 11, 2016

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

To benefit from this soft, you must be well organized for your photos and sources management. But when it is, Gramps greatly helps to work your trees.

Biggest Pro: Freedom Software; Sources management
Biggest Con: GUI using many popup-windows requires a screen of great size

Gramps Review by Colin,  Dec 21, 2015

3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

Neither intuitive nor easy to learn.
I am sympathetic to open source software, but this really does feel like its been cobbled together by a committee who set out to design a horse and came up with a camel.
I finally gave up when I bought a new computer and tried to load my backup into the new download of Gramps. It was really hard to find out how to do this basic task. While I managed it in the end, as far as I was concerned, that was the end. Software this difficult to use has no place on my computer.

Biggest Pro: Free. Does the job
Biggest Con: Difficult to learn. Not at all intuitive

Gramps Review by Doug E,  Dec 19, 2015

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

I agree. Incomprehensible. It is supposed to have “shared events”. Input an event, such as a family reunion, then try to share the event among the six participants. Good frickin’ luck. And if it is in fact easy, why is there no procedural help? The help file, in the form of a Wiki, is essentially useless in identifying the steps that one would go through to do something as elementary as this. One would think that a piece of share/free ware written by code jocks could have clear, algorithmic, step-by-step help for some common actions. If such step-by-step descriptions do exist, call me stupid, but I could not find them.

Biggest Pro: Really complicated
Biggest Con: But at least it was free.

Gramps Review by Ralph,  Nov 10, 2015

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

Originally started with Cumberland Family Tree which had a simple interface, used other programs like Legacy and Heritage. Gramps is superior software and the fact that I can easily write plugins is even better. This is a serious program with alot of features. A learning curve is there but worth it.

Btw the person who says it crashed..I never had the program crash, perhaps something with your PC

Biggest Pro: Serious program with a lot of features.
Biggest Con: UI can be a little confusing

Gramps Review by Paul,  Oct 8, 2015

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

Software is highly unstable (Which is unacceptable for genealogy software). Crashes when you close a window within the program (When it should only close THAT window). Presents itself as a software with a lot of freedom yet, once you learn how it works, it is highly restrictive software-side. Gramps could be #1 if it was actually stable and wasn’t held back by lazy coding.

Biggest Pro: No other software has as much options and precision in the information you put in.
Biggest Con: Unstable, crashes a lot, corrupts files easily.

Very interesting, with a lot possibilities. Can handle great amount of persons. Media management very handy. Very powerful!

Biggest Con: High learning curve

2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

I wanted to get a complete descendant tree that would show an individual, all her marriages and all her children/grandchildren. Can’t do it in this software. It presents only the ascendants rather than the descendants. That is it gives the person I want with HER mother and father and doesn’t give me the husbands/children/grandchildren as it should in a real descendant tree. So this software isn’t useful at all to me

Biggest Pro: imports from Family Tree maker
Biggest Con: can’t do a complete descendant tree

Gramps Review by J Bennett,  May 2, 2015

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

Utterly incomprehensible. Help is just as bad. Completely useless. Unfortunately, you don’t discover this until you’ve installed it and spent an age trying to understand how it’s supposed to work. How any review can come up wit a favourable opinion beats me.

Biggest Pro: none
Biggest Con: incoprehensible.

Gramps Review by Dan,  May 1, 2015

This is a review of Gramps 4.1.2 - Gramps is a great genealogy program and has a great set of features available. I use it in Linux, Vista, and Win 8. It installs all with no problems. Granted as commented here it can sometime be slow on very large databases, that can also be affected by OS and machine specs. Being a free software package is a plus, and the developers are constantly adding features and reports based on requests and comments. I have been doing genealogy for almost 30 years and have tried probably every software package since the early ’80s. I am not sure why several reviews complain about interface, seems pretty straight forward to me. To add a person use the people screen, to add a family use the Families screen. Everyone had their own “favorite” interface. I personally hate the interface of FTM. Most software has a small learning curve. In my choice of software one of my criteria is intuitiveness. If you have to pull out manual, then in my mind the software is not a good package. Gramps has large following, using all 3 of the supported OS, Winows, MAC, and Linux. All 3 will install all needed dependencies, assuming the full installer was downloaded for that OS. Has GEDCOM import and export, numerous reports, and several “bells and whistles.”

Biggest Pro: Great free software version
Biggest Con: Places need some work,

Gramps Review by Chris Bagley,  Sep 11, 2014

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

I came across Gramps in looking for programs to use in exploring Linux. We have been long, long term users of TMG and it is interesting to compare the two. I think each genealogical program has its own particular way of entering data, formed from the author(s) preferences, and it is not useful to rate programs on that basis. On the basis of utility, functionality, ease of use (when one gets to know it), extendibility and the like I rate Gramps very highly.

Biggest Pro: flexibility
Biggest Con: formation of families is somewhat idiosyncratic

Gramps Review by travisdj,  Aug 28, 2014

1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

This program is unusably complicated for someone just wanting to build a basic GEDCOM for free. You can’t make family trees, adding people is far more time-consuming than it needs to be, and doing anything — if you can figure it out — involves navigating a byzantine menu of “gramplets” which do not seem to make much sense.

“You get what you pay for” doesn’t often apply to freeware, but in this case it’s absolutely true. This program is unusable.

Biggest Pro: Free
Biggest Con: Unusable

SJ8990 : Entrance to Merseyway

near to Stockport, Great Britain

Entrance to Merseyway
Entrance to Merseyway
The entrance to the Merseyway Shopping Centre from Mersey Square. The brick plinth, flanked by pedestrian signposts and flowertubs, carries a marble-esque plaque SJ8990 : The Queen was here commemorating the visit of Her Majesty the Queen in 22nd March 1991.
Merseyway Shopping Centre

Merseyway Shopping Centre opened in 1965 but was extensively refurbished in 1995. It consists mainly of a large pedestrianised street, where at one point there are two levels of walkways for shoppers, and there is access to both the first and ground floor of many shops. There is a small area of covered mall at the western edge of the centre, constructed in 1995.

It is built on giant stilts above the River Mersey and the river runs for the entire length of the centre. The river was first covered over in the late 1930s and a road built over the top.

This past month, New York’s Odin unveiled their seventh fragrance, a unisex scent cooked up by Parisian parfumier Corrine Cachen—and somehow, we managed to get our hands on a bottle of the stuff.

It’s in the woody, musky style of cologne, full of crisp top notes and warm undertones... or at least that’s what the press release says. To get to the real, messy truth, we rounded up some of the ruthlessly articulate ladies around the office for an unbiased appraisal of the scent.

The following opinions are not necessarily our own—although we see where they’re coming from.

Here’s what the people had to say:

Like having sex in a custom-made closet.

Cedar and squirrel.

It reminds me of my childhood years on shores of Lake Piatt.

Smells like a Monet; better from a distance.

A night on the town in Camden, Maine.

A cross between the Billy Reid store and my grandma’s house.

If you’re a lumberjack-yachtsman, this is your smell.

Like cedar incense. And Michigan.

This is what I imagine Michael Fassbender’s armpit smells like.

If you want to pick up a bottle—possibly as a gift for your lumberjack-yachtsman friends—it’s at Odin New York and Barneys.

Cuby & the Blizzards In-depth Biography

Although unknown to the English-speaking market, Cuby & the Blizzards have been one of Holland's top blues bands since the mid-'60s. Some of their early singles had a beat/punk orientation, particularly "Stumble & Fall" and "Your Body Not Your Soul," both of which would be reissued on various Dutch beat compilations a few decades later. They quickly settled into a straighter blues groove, however. Their claims to fame in the larger rock/pop world are that they briefly backed Van Morrison in the gap between his departure from Them and the beginning of his solo career, although details of the association remain murky; also, at one point lead guitarist Eelco Gelling was asked to join John Mayall's Bluebreakers, although he declined. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
