Do you have any plans for it?
Griff, for now my plans are to use it as a parent at every opportunity!  Currently, it is carrying 2 pods from one of my rebloom lines.
As to introduction, I'll just have to wait and see.  Last year was maiden bloom.  It increases well while giving ample bloom stalks.  The stalks seem to extend whenever they mature.  Only time will tell if it blooms beyond July.  (That's when I dug it last year)
Summer Radiance is a repeat bloomer and Visiting Royalty is from Romantic Evening, which I believe is also a repeat bloomer.  The stalks are tall & strong, and there are sufficient buds.

1957-64 Olds/Pontiac Differential ring gear questions

Currently I have a 4:56 Ring and Pinion and I want to change to a 3:42 or 3:64 Ring and Pinion. Does anyone know if I will have to use a Ring gear spacer or change the case?

I want to say NO, but I'm not 100% sure. Go to FabCraftMetalWorks.com; they have gears and parts for the 57-64 Olds/Pont rears, and you may get a definite answer there also. IF you're interested in selling the 4.56 gears, you may want to post them over on GasserMadness.Com. Butch/junior stocker

INside Track: Makin’ Sausage

Nobody, when they’re served up a breakfast with a pair of piping hot sausages, has any desire to know how they were made. They just want to enjoy them with their eggs and toast. This dynamic applies to politics as well – witness Congress’ nosedive in the polls as the public has watched them hash out various health care and jobs bills.

In-house designers would do well to pay attention to this cautionary tale. If you’re tempted to go into the gory details of how badly your department is broken when asking your manager for more resources or doing a mea culpa with a client on a project that went south – don’t. They don’t care and there’s no upside for you to peel back the layers of that onion. The best approach is to walk into those types of conversations with a solution and the rationale behind the solution. No one wants to see a close-up of the meat-grinder.

2 thoughts on “INside Track: Makin’ Sausage

  1. Tiffany

    This is such great advice. I try to remember this whenever I’m feeling like I’m going through that proverbial meat-grinder. I also particularly dislike it when coworkers and others dish their messy issues. I don’t want to hear about their department’s problems and I’m sure they don’t care to hear about ours!

  2. Chris

    I agree. As a manager, I appreciate it when an employee comes into my office offering a well thought out solution to their own problem. Then, we can work together on implementation. This is always a trait I look for when I am in the position when I can promote someone too. I deal with problems all of the time. But, I love to work on solutions to meet customers needs.

Prison 'Thriller' A Web Series Coming In Spring 2012

Posted: Updated:

Almost three years ago, the world fell in love with a completely unexpected phenomenon -- Filipino dancers performing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as part of their rehabilitation therapy. And now, like every great trend, it's returned -- but this time, there's lyrics, there's choreography and there's the potential for much, much more.

"Prison Dancer", launching in March 2012, is a web series that takes its inspiration from those very same prisoners that racked up almost 50 million views on YouTube. Created by Toronto-based director and writer Romeo Candido, along with his partner Carmen De Jesus and producer Ana Serrano, "Prison Dancer" will be a 12-part web series, with the long-term plan landing it on the stage for a live performance. But first, they have to build up the love.

"We want it to be interactive -- we want audiences to really understand the songs, and the characters," explains Serrano. "All episodes will be karaoke-ified -- people can learn the songs, they can dance to the dance, they can send their renditions of the songs back to us. We want to create the first kind of participatory web series."

Serrano likens the concept to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the Joss Whedon-created series starring Neil Patrick Harris that launched during the 2008 writers' strike, and was eventually turned into an album and a play.

In "Prison Dancer", there's a whole world of jailhouse characters, love stories and original songs that range from Disney-style ballads to west coast hip hop. Its star is past Canadian Idol favourite Mikey Bustos, whose tutorials about Filipino culture created their own viral sensation last year.

That's no coincidence, as Candido's Filipino heritage informed "Prison Dancer's" subject matter, thanks both to the prison's innovative program and the culture's musical DNA. "The viral videos were passed around as a quirky meme with headlines [like] 'those crazy Filipinos are at it again...', and much of the appeal of was that such a large group of 'hardened criminals' would agree to do such a thing," Candido notes. "To non-Filipinos it seems so outlandish and incredible. But speaking as a Filipino, it makes sense, as our culture is infused with an ability to find the lighter side of struggle, and to sing through our hardships."

Even the portrayal of criminals comes across as charming, and Candido and De Jesus had no reservations about turning this group into their play's main characters. "The musical, as a genre, is designed to romanticize its subject matter ... Did we have reservations at portraying criminals in a sympathetic light? No. It was our mission to portray these prison dancers with empathy, as they are, in many ways, extensions of us as people who are imprisoned by our mistakes and are just trying to find our song and dance again."

Both Serrano and Candido point to the unique opportunity afforded them by Canada's Independent Production Fund (IPF), the only funding source available anywhere for web series projects. "These kinds of web series are particular to Canada because of the funding that we receive -- we can experiment more freely. It's great to have the IPS be able to support these kinds of innovations," says Serrano.

The privately owned foundation is likely the reason why other web series, like the wildly popular "Shit Girls Say", "Out With Dad" and "Ruby Skye P.I." were all filmed in Toronto.

Seven-Year-Old Boy Attacked In Sea By Rottweilers

09/08/2011 10:46 | Updated 22 May 2015
Seven-year-old boy attacked in sea by rottweilersPA

A grandmother has told reporters how she waded into the sea at Southend to save her seven-year-old grandson from a ferocious attack by two rottweiler dogs.

The little boy had been dragged under the water by one of the dogs after being bitten. His brave granny pulled the dog off, but the child had already sustained around 20 wounds to his chest, back and arms.

The dogs ran from the beach with their owner, who is being hunted by the police.

The youngster is now in hospital in Chelmsford, Essex, and has undergone two rounds of surgery.

The police told reporters: 'The grandmother had to pull the dog from the boy for fear it was going to drown the child or bite him to death. It must have been a terrifying ordeal that has left the lad with horrific injuries both physical and emotional I am sure.'

Germany Manager Joachim Löw Caught Touching Himself And Sniffing His Fingers During Euro 2016 Ukraine Match

One of the thousands of cameras spotted him being a bit gross.

13/06/2016 17:19 | Updated 14 June 2016

German national team coach and former player Joachim Löw has been caught apparently touching his nether regions and subsequently sniffing his fingers during Sunday's Euros match against Ukraine.

The footage comes from Gialappa’s Band, an Italian comedy group well known for picking up untelevised shots from the many cameras at football games and putting a comical spin on them.

And it's not the first time Löw was caught having a scratch and sniff at the sidelines...

'Born This Way,' And Other Empowering Teen Anthems Of 2011

The '80s had Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" and Madonna's "Express Yourself," and in the '90s, Nirvana became the voice of a generation with "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Every decade and year has its youth-empowering anthems which voice the spirit of its teenagers. And when it comes to kick-ass teen anthems, 2011 was a great year.

After we saw Miley Cyrus perform her moving single "The Climb" at the CNN Heroes Awards, we started wondering what other awesome teen anthems inspired us this year. In 2011 -- a year in which Occupy Wall Street, anti-bullying campaigns, and LGBT rights made headlines -- individuality and personal power was the name of the game. From Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (the ultimate song of self-acceptance) to Glee's dynamite cover of "We Are Young" to Demi Lovato's super-inspiring single "Skyscraper," it was an unbeatable year for power-ballads.

So, what do you think is the ultimate teen anthem of this year? Which songs did we miss? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

America's 10 Best Burgers, According To National Geographic

As we've worked our way through National Geographic's "The 10 Best Of Everything," we've stepped into the best historic homes, taken in the best cathedrals, stood in awe of the best world heritage sites, shown off our own best national parks, set sail for the world's best islands and pre-gamed for the Olympics at London's best pubs.

Now, we're finishing our tour on a rather tasty note. There isn't much that screams "America" more than a nice juicy hamburger. And, what better way to get into the July Fourth spirit than by celebrating this American icon?

National Geographic has taken a stab at the country's best burgers (some available internationally as well) in the list below. But, burgers are certainly a subjective experience, so we expect there will be a few objections. Love 'em or hate 'em, leave your burger thoughts in the comments below!

Davidson College Suspends Chick-fil-A

Davidson College in North Carolina has become one of the first colleges in the country to give Chick-fil-A the boot.

Students at Davidson began protesting against serving Chick-fil-A at school sponsored late-night food-and-music events called After Midnight, which are held on one Saturday each month. An online petition gathered nearly 500 signatures calling for the school to stop serving Chick-fil-A at campus sanctioned events. Some Davidson students oppose the company's support of anti-gay groups, and its president, Dan Cathy, admitting to being against same-sex marriage rights. Davidson joined forces with institutions like St. Mary's College in Maryland who ended their relationship with Chick-fil-A last September.

Many colleges have seen students protest against Chick-fil-A restaurants located on campus, but Davidson doesn't actually have one at their school. Chick-fil-A food was ordered and served regularly at After Midnight events, along with other fast food options.

In response to the opposition against the fast food joint, Davidson has decided to stop serving Chick-fil-A for the time being.

In a statement to the Davidson community, Union Board President Adriana Nassar and Vice President Cameron Joe, said:

We reached out to the Union Board members to begin initial conversations but because the board operates on consensus decision-making, a final decision is being put off until we can have face to face conversations and gather more student input. Until a final decision is made, alternative options will be served at After Midnight and other Union Board events. The Davidson College Union Board is firmly committed to building an inclusive community that serves each member of our student body.

Bill Giduz, director of Media Relations at Davidson, told the Christian Post the Union Board will gather student input in their early-semester weekly meetings after classes resume on Aug. 27.

Ben Wiley, the Davidson student responsible for the petition, told the students at other colleges trying to evict Chick-fil-A locations are "much more complicated" movements and are "morally ambiguous."

"One of the clear aspects of this petition –- hopefully clear –- is that we're not actually trying to get any laws passed or resolutions in the student government. … We don't actually have to deal with trying to move a unit away," Wiley said. "We're just going to stop importing it."

North Carolinians voted in May to amend their state constitution to ban same-sex marriages, all civil unions and domestic partnerships.

Correction: The headline of this article originally read "Davidson College Becomes First Campus To Suspend Chick-fil-A." In fact, St. Mary's College of Maryland suspended Chick-fil-A back in September. We regret the error.

'Married To Jonas': Danielle, Kevin Jonas Talk Married Life

It may not be the "Real Housewives," but Kevin and Danielle Jonas promise their new reality series "Married To Jonas" will be far from boring.

"We didn't live together before [we were married] and weren't in the same place a lot, so she had to get used to that I'm not the cleanest," Kevin told TV Guide. "I'm also absentminded, but I'm a musician; I'm allowed to be."

But cleanliness is the least of it. According to Danielle, there's quite a bit of in-law drama ... especially when Kevin's father, Kevin Jonas Sr., brings up the couple having children like it's a "business decision."

"It's hard because you're trying to figure it out on your own and then you have people reminding you all the time," Danielle said. "It's like, 'Yes, I want to be pregnant and maybe I am,' but we want to [be ready] when we do have one and focus on it. But [the talk] is a constant reminder that it's next.'"

Kevin and Danielle aren't the only ones excited for the E! series: Joe has emphasized how excited he is.

"I think the fans are going to learn a lot about Kevin and even more about Dani because she is kind of behind the scenes in his life," he told Parade.com. "It’s cool for me and Nick to sit back and laugh because of the drama that people are going to see because that’s reality TV, but I’m happy for them. They’ve made this show a lot of fun. I saw the pilot and it was just comical.”

Bring on the Jonas drama!

"Married To Jonas" premieres on Sun., Aug. 19 at 10 p.m. ET on E!

Non-Violent Walmart Protesters In Ellwood, Illinois, Arrested By Riot Police

A non-violent protest over working conditions at the warehouse of a Walmart supplier resulted in more than a dozen arrests Monday.

Riot police arrested 17 peaceful Walmart protesters in Elwood, Ill., the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The protesters were some of the 600 people taking part in the rally, which was organized by Warehouse Workers for Justice. The protesters were supporting the employees of a warehouse in Elwood, Illinois, which is operated by an outside contractor that supplies Walmart stores, according to Reuters.

The workers have been on strike since September protesting their working conditions. The 17 protesters who were arrested were blocking the warehouse's entrance by sitting in the middle of the road, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Walmart outsources much of its warehouse work to save money, but this has come at a cost to workers, according to a recent report by the National Employment Law Project. These contractors pay low wages and often violate labor laws, according to the report.

Walmart has been criticized for other labor practices as well. Walmart workers aren't unionized and many Walmart workers are paid very low wages. Meanwhile, Walmart's profits are booming.

Making Street Fairs More Than 'Socks and Sausages'

Neighborhood street fairs -- in too many cases, it has come to sound like an oxymoron.

Cookie-cutter, corporate events with block after block of the same vendors, many street fairs today are of the "socks and sausages" variety and fail to bear any reflection of the communities where they take place.

And they cost the City a reported $2.4 million a year, even after the fees City Hall collects.

With the dynamic neighborhoods we have -- and the hard times we face -- it shouldn't be this way. By taking a page from the street fairs that work, we can makeover these events into experiences worth supporting, which aid local business and add life to our streets.

The key is participation by local merchants.

Today, where mom-and-pop stores and new entrepreneurs set up shop on the sidewalk alongside the ubiquitous crepe stands and pashmina tables, street fairs become vibrant, highly anticipated community events.

The Bedford-Barrow-Commerce Block Association fair in the West Village attracts a wide variety of artworks and local eateries -- and with them, large crowds. In Brooklyn, the beloved Atlantic Antic, organized by the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation, has all the usual street fair staples, yet 60 percent of the vendors are local, neighborhood retailers.

Unfortunately, these fairs are the exception. According to a report by the Center for an Urban Future, 20 vendors hold 46 percent of all street fair food permits -- and nine of those 20 are based outside New York City entirely.

Fair organizers should be required to pass a basic threshold of local business participation in order to go forward with the event. I have proposed that bare minimum be 20 percent of the retail stores and eateries located on the footprint of the street fair.

There is proof that this level of support can be easily met: In Park Slope, store owners are clamoring for the Fifth Avenue BID to extend the length of its street fair so that they, too, can sell their wares right outside their front doors.

We could explore limited exceptions in areas where this threshold may be impractical and the local community board gives its support, but it is simply no longer feasible to support street fairs that are seen as an imposition on local business and residents.

As an additional incentive for organizers to attract neighborhood vendors, I also proposed creating a sliding scale that would reward greater participation of local businesses by lowering the fees paid by sponsors to the City.

It is unlikely to be a burden on the non-profit groups that sponsor street fairs to recruit local merchants -- many of them already hire production companies to line up the vendors. And any loss of revenue to the City is likely to be offset by a reduction in the total number of fairs due to some not meeting the 20 percent participation minimum.

There is still more we can do. I am drafting legislation to require the Department of Small Business Services to provide information on its website about street fairs, to aid merchants who might want to participate. We should even explore placing vendors' stands in the middle of the avenue rather than on the sides where they block storefronts.

New Yorkers are desperate to enjoy the street fair experience -- 2 million people visit them today, as bland as most of them are. When we return street fairs to their roots, as events that celebrate their vibrant communities, we can all get something worth paying for.

Rooftop villa,Roof house

Residents near this 26 storey apartment building in Beijing thought the rocks and trees appearing on top of the building were part of an attraction. The banner: Co-build National Civilized Urban Area.

A villa privately built on the roof of a residential building in downtown Beijing by a professor Zhang Biqing has been asked to be demolished within 15 days.
More China pictures related to this China story

Chinese netizens have given the envious crown the most awesome villas of China to four houses built on roof of a shopping center in Zhuzhou city of Hunan in August 2012.

But when more such rooftop houses/villas are disclosed on internet, it appears there are no most awesome, but only more awesome villas of China.

At moment, I suppose no one will oppose when we award the most awesome villa of China to the one built by a Beijing professor on a 26-storey apartment building.

According to the Beijing Morning Post and Shanghaiist, a Professor Zhang bought the penthouse of Building B of Renji Mountain Residential Complex in downtown Beijing and took six years to build this 2-storey villa with rock garden and trees after clearing the over 1,000 square metre area.

Residents near this 26 storey apartment building thought the rocks and trees appearing on top of  Building B were part of an attraction that had been built by the developer.

But this villa will have definitely dimmer future than those rooftop houses built in Hunan.

While the rooftop houses in Zhuzhou are regarded as legal and will remain, the sky houses in Hengyang are ruled illegal but allowed to remain as long as they are not sold, this so far the most awesome villa in Beijing are ruled completely illegal and should be demolished.

Inspectors from the Beijing Chengguan (urban management officiers) had come to examine the building and interview tenants last month. "This is definitely an illegal construction, we have not taken action on it because we could not find the property owner," one official told the Beijing Morning Post.

An expert interviewed by the paper pointed to the obvious safety risks posed by the villa, not only due to the added weight but also the susceptibility of the construction to earthquakes or lightning strikes.

But ironically, the demolition of it has to go through examination and approval procedures before it goes ahead, the exact formalities that the professor avoided during construction.

Update: Professor Zhang ordered to demolish rooftop villa within 15 days

The irony exists only because the toughest officers of China were not serious in flexing their muscle.

A day after the so far Most Awesome Villa of China becomes domestic and international headline, thinking they could not be lenient any more, Beijing Chengguan Bureau rushed to Renji Mountain Residential Complex and put up a notice requiring Professor Zhang to demolish the villa within 15 days.

Professor Zhang, who is disclosed to be actually a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with the full name Zhang Biqing, received interview from Law Evening News and said he would not bargain with the Beijing Chengguan as he did with other government authorities over the fate of his rooftop villas.

You may doubt if Zhang will keep his words, but never doubt the capability of Chinese powerful Chengguan officers.

And we will sure be able to give Zhang’s villa another title: the most short-lived villa of China.

Contemplating Her Misery

Joy radiates from Ex’s misery Raising two kids? Hope it’s unbearable Terrible enough to make you ponder What could have been with yours truly – conjure The exaltation, elation daily Wonder some more – lament orgasms lost Pause in the middle of the day to think The captain of your ship led you to sink…

Happiness Is Not Something Readymade. It Comes From Your Own Actions – Dalai Lama

Happiness is a relative concept. Each individual finds joy in different activities, experiences, and situations. Happiness can be found in all kinds of places. One thing is for certain – happiness must be something that the individual creates.

Many things that make us happy are a product of hard work. For example, if you want a career that you love, you have to go to interviews and be dedicated to the job. If you want to stay healthy and strong, you must exercise and do what you can to stay fit.

There are many obstacles that will try to get in the way of your happiness – fear, uncertainty, and everyday struggles are just a few of these obstacles. However, we can choose to find the strength within ourselves to overcome these difficulties, to rise above that which tries to weigh us down.

Our thoughts, and our actions, determine whether or not we’re happy. While there are many other factors, we can decide how we’re going to react to certain situations. Are we going to let others bring us down or are we going to stand up for ourselves and remind ourselves of our greatness? Are we going to give up on our goals or keep striving to accomplish them? It’s up to us!

Having thick skin is good for the soul

I never really had the ability to let things get to me. I don’t know if it’s the New Jersey don’t give a fuck attitude I was raised with or because I simply don’t care enough. Whatever the reason I’m really glad I have thick skin and don’t get easily offended.

I don’t let little things offend me and I sure as hell would never let anything that anyone said or did effect my day.

As a society we are a bunch of sensitive Sally’s lately and it’s really getting out of hand.

I’ve been called every name in the book by many different types of people. I still manage to get over it and go on with my day.

If I let the little things get to me like what people think or say about me then the bigger things in life like trying to not go into credit card debt on a minimum wage salary and figuring out how I’m going to afford food would really force me to have a mental breakdown.

Things happen that you can’t control like what people say and do. Keep it moving and live you life. Don’t waste time and energy on it.

Let’s just grow some thick skin and get over it.

Are you someone that’s easily offended? Let me know in the comments.

Don’t Waste Time on Jealousy. Sometimes You’re Ahead, Sometimes You’re Behind – Mary Schmich

At times I find myself looking at the life of a celebrity on TV, or an acquaintance on social media, and thinking about how easy they must have it. Maybe they have the job I want, or maybe they are on my dream vacation. Maybe I simply wish I had their hairstyle. Although these thoughts are natural, I always end up realizing my jealousy makes no sense.

You may find yourself wanting things other people have, but it’s not right to assume anyone has an easier life or is happier than you. Everyone goes through rough times, both big and small. You can never truly know what someone is dealing with in their personal life based on a tabloid or an Instagram post.

Every person you meet is working to improve an aspect of their life, whether it relates to finances, love, physical and emotional health… you’ll never know. This is why it’s best to replace jealousy with compassion, and focus on overcoming obstacles and moving ahead in your own life.

Put Your Mind in Time Out

“I can’t shut my mind off”.  “I lay awake thinking of all the things I need to do”.  “My busy mind stresses me out”.  I have heard some version of these statements from my Reiki clients all month.  In this day and age it really is no surprise, right?  Twenty-four hour everything and technology that fits in our pocket and goes with us everywhere are constant distractions.  Add our daily lifestyles of work, gym, family, friends and it can make the mind positively RACE.

The stress caused by a constantly working mind will eventually take its toll on your health and your quality of life.  Quieting the mind is a way to practice self-care and increase your well-being.  If you want to reach your goals and/or fulfill your dreams, it starts at home.  Meaning, you must take care of yourself.  When you are living a life of happiness and health, you can start to switch the focus from yourself to that of others.  Contributing to the well-being of others is so rewarding, and can have far reaching impacts in your community and the world.  Now let’s look at some tips to help tame that mind…

In short, we have collectively created the mass disorder and confusion we observe around us on a daily basis with our thoughts. We have all allowed negative thinking to prevail for many millennia, so the physical world is merely a product of our thoughts. By simply shifting your focus to what makes you happy, or what you’re thankful for, you can start to retrain your mind to think more positively. Consequently, you will start to feel more peaceful since you no longer put so much emphasis on the negativity you perceive within yourself and elsewhere.

Remember, energy flows where attention goes – you can achieve peace by creating awareness behind your thoughts.

Pay attention to your brain at this very moment…what kinds of thoughts do you observe? Most likely, you will notice that the majority of your thoughts center around what you have to do today, or what someone said that made you angry, or even degrading thoughts about yourself. Don’t feel bad, though; with so much negativity around us, maintaining a consistent positive mindset isn’t always easy. However, you can actually counter the negative, stress-inducing thoughts with simple, peaceful words.

Anytime you feel a bout of anxiety coming on, introduce calming words into your awareness, such as: Tranquil. Calm. Peaceful. Serenity. Light. Love. Relaxing. Breeze. Beach. The last two words in the sequence describe scenery, which you can do as well if it makes you feel peaceful. Words carry a lot of meaning and power, so use them to your advantage whenever you feel stressed out.

…When you meditate, you stop the flow of thoughts bombarding your consciousness every second, and instead move into a space where stillness takes precedence. While you don’t have to turn off your brain to meditate, many people feel that their thoughts slow down incredibly, and they can observe themselves much easier with controlled breaths and closed eyes. Meditation simply brings awareness into the body, and makes it much easier to cope with daily challenges.

If you want to cultivate more peace in your mind and life, start meditating, or sitting quietly focusing on nothing but your breath for at least ten minutes a day on a daily basis. You will find that adopting a more peaceful mindset becomes much more attainable.

Forget about the errands you have to run tomorrow after work, or the bills you have to pay next week, or the uncertainty of your future that you haven’t even gotten to yet. When you let thoughts like these ruminate, it can cause great dis-ease within the body, and even lead to anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and other serious problems. Most anxiety is caused by simply living in a time other than the one we have right now, so bring yourself back to the present whenever you feel your thoughts taking you elsewhere.

By allowing yourself to flow from one moment to the next, just as you did as a child, you will recapture what it means to feel true peace.

This could mean going on your lunch break in a nearby park, or going on a vacation to get away from the stress of daily life. Anything you can do to strengthen your bond with nature will greatly benefit your mind, and help you remember that we create most stress we feel in our mind and body. We originated in a place of pure harmony, and most of what we see around us is just a very persistent illusion. Remember that nature doesn’t struggle through life, and you don’t have to, either. Don’t get too caught up with the trivial matters of the material world, because you won’t find peace in numbers or possessions.

Truthfully, peace resides within your heart already, but Mother Earth can help you remember this by providing solace from the strains of modern society.

It’s getting really real around here

It’s 5 weeks until my wedding, we’ve made multiple offers on houses only for them to fall through, the nail place I normally go to decided it was a good idea to raise there prices dramatically and then try to sell me on getting tattoos on my eyebrows for only $400, my dogs keep getting sick.

Life has been doing nothing but stressing me out lately and I’ve been drinking a lot of wine as well as venting to my best friend to try to remain the little sanity I do have.

I need more time in my days as well as an IV of coffee for the day and wine for the night to help me get through this.

The best part about this is even though it is complete chaos right now is that I will get through it. I just have to put my head down, make a list and try not to think of everything at once. This ain’t my first rodeo and it won’t be my last. I got this.

Woo what a ride it’s been. Glad I got that off my chest.

How’s your life going lately? Let me know in the comments.

I Have Decided to Stick With Love. Hate Is Too Great a Burden to Bear – Martin Luther King Jr

Every single one of us is bound to clash with a certain amount of people we meet during our life. Maybe you and another person have different values or style of communication. Maybe some events lead you to believe the other person is not very nice, to put it simply.

When this happens, you have a choice on how to approach this situation. Many people choose to get tense or agitated, badmouth the person, and be consumed by their dislike. However, ruminating on your angry feelings in this way is known to make people feel worse, and probably magnifies what could otherwise be a much smaller situation.

When possible, choose love and understanding over hate and loathing. Loving this person does not mean you have to spend your free time with them. It doesn’t even mean they have to be your friend. However, you can love them by understanding that they are different from you and knowing that’s okay. You probably won’t bring them home for the holidays, but while you have to be around them you can accept them as they are.

Taking this road is much more freeing than tensing up with hate and anger. Try forgiveness and understanding, and you may feel more peaceful than ever before.

Visualizing the burden of disease in the Middle East and North Africa

A regional report entitled The Global Burden of Disease: Generating Evidence, Guiding Policy – Middle East and North Africa Regional Edition, published last week by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the World Bank, highlighted the rapid transitions in health patterns in the region between 1990 and 2010.

European butadiene producers plot exports to US

Healthy export demands from overseas will keep the huge European butadiene market afloat as local demand wanes, according to a new report by business intelligence group GBI Research.

While the Middle East has downstream plants in the works to produce styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Europe is expected to rely on the US to fuel its butadiene industry, according to the researchers.

Europe and the Middle East’s demand for butadiene has steadily been increasing over the last decade, primarily led by advanced countries from Western Europe, such as Germany and France.

However, the large populations and growing economies of countries like Russia and other nations of Eastern Europe mean that they also have huge consumption potential.

Europe’s demand has historically overshadowed that of the Middle East, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. The European region is predicted to account for more than 90% of Europe and the Middle East’s butadiene demand in 2020.

New downstream plants are also due to come online in Iran and Saudi Arabia during the near future, and this is expected to reduce the proportion of butadiene demand from Western Europe in the forecast period.

However, Europe’s butadiene exports will still grow, due to strong demand from the US, which is increasingly becoming a strong market for European butadiene exports, according to the study.

The newfound love for shale gas in the US is leaving their petrochemicals industry in the dark, as crude oil feedstock for butadiene production goes out of vogue, and Europe is reaping the benefits.

The US is starting to increase its use of shale gas as an energy source instead of crude oil, and since shale gas contains less C4 hydrocarbons (which, when cracked, produce butadiene), the US is experiencing an increasing shortage of locally-produced petrochemicals.

As a result, local butadiene consumers are increasingly relying on foreign imports.

The European butadiene market has not experienced very healthy growth, due to waning local demand. As a result, the increased butadiene demand from US consumers presents a readily available market for European producers.

As the situation stands, European butadiene producers are going to be a major source of supply to North America in future, say the researchers.

Butadiene downstream segments include the polybutadiene, ABS, and SBR sectors.

Butadiene is a raw material used in making a wide variety of synthetic rubbers and polymer resins, and is most commonly used in the production of SBR, which is used to manufacture automobile tires, adhesives, sealants, coatings and other rubber articles such as shoe soles.

Natural gas line explosion rocks rural Louisiana

A natural gas transmission line exploded in a rural Louisiana community about 70 miles north of New Orleans, knocking out power and causing area residents to be evacuated, local authorities said.

A large mushroom cloud and fire erupted from the line following the explosion at around 5:00 a.m., said Lauren Ritchie, a spokesman for the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office.

The line, owned by Florida Gas Transmission, carries natural gas from Texas along the Gulf Coast through Louisiana and into Florida.

It appears no one was injured or killed in the blast. The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said 55 people were evacuated from a one-mile area, and Ms. Ritchie said the explosion knocked out power to the small rural community of Plainview.

One mobile home was destroyed in the fire, but the woman who lives there were able to escape, Ms. Ritchie said.

The explosion comes on the heels of fatal explosions at two different chemical plants outside of Baton Rouge last week.

It's not yet clear what caused the explosion outside of Franklinton the Governor's office said the gas fire is extinguished but nearby trees are still burning. Ms. Ritchie said state and federal responders are waiting for the area to become safe before going in to investigate.

Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Florida Gas, said the affected section of the 5,500 mile line has been shut in, and natural gas is being rerouted. The incident won't have any impact on the company's deliveries, she said.

The Florida Gas Transmission pipeline is a joint venture between Kinder Morganand Energy Transfer Partners.

As reported yesterday, I believe that at this point in late summer it is 2013 all over again. The iWatch is again not coming despite heavy rumors. Now an analyst report supports my claim.

As reported yesterday, we are over run by iPhone 6 leaks, but we have no leaked iWatch part. We have no leaked prototype. All we have a rumor reports, patents and suspicious hires. It is save to say that Apple is working on wearable products including an iWatch. Because of the lack of leaked parts I am leaning towards the assumption that Apple is again not ready to release the iWatch this year.

We had the same situation in 2013. The iWatch rumors have been intense. Now famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities also says that the iWatch is not coming this year.

He says according to 9to5Mac that Apple is working on a sophisticated smart watch that resulted in a higher level of difficulty to design and manufacture the iWatch and therefore resulted in major delays. Kuo expects the iWatch to feature a flexible AMOLED display, sapphire coating an new SoC components.

Check out our complete iWatch History report that soon will get a new chapter that will state that the iWatch also did not get released in 2014.

As said yesterday, in my opinion Apple did not solve the issues yet that plague smart watches: low usability, big size and short battery life. Apple is under a lot of pressure to do the iWatch right. They cannot really afford a failure. Other gadget companies like Samsung, LG and Motorola are not afraid of failure. They just put it out and see how it goes. It does not go well for smart watches that have released so far. The new Android Wear is going to push even more smart watches on the market that are incrementally better than the current generation, but still not solve the fundamental problem of offering mass market appeal.

Labour’s Anti-Mayoral Campaign Sinks New Depths

Labour activists are turning on their own colleagues in Nottingham over a “no to Mayor” campaigning that is plumbing the depths of desperation. Of course, Nottingham Labour are only following the lead of their colleagues here in Salford, who ploughed a similar (if slightly less blunt) furrow back in January. Of course, we all know how well that worked!

The Advisory Board was uncomfortable recommending raises because of unfamiliarity with responsibilities.

Cheshire Considers Raises for Town Positions

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
Print | Email
The Board of Selectmen agreed to raising the town clerk and treasurer/tax collector wages above the agreed-upon 2.5 percent, but rejected their initial requests as too high.

CHESHIRE, Mass. — The Board of Selectmen approved a few last minute items in the budget Tuesday night with the Advisory Board.

The Advisory Board asked the Board of Selectmen about line items in the budget they did not feel qualified to change.

The budget contains a general 2.5 percent increase to town employee salaries, however, some workers asked for a larger increase.

"I think the overriding theme we got from a number of the departments was a concern over levels of salary and the ability to replace people should they leave," William Craig, chairman of the Advisory Board said. "We heard that in a number of different places."

Board members said they did not have enough information on many of the job descriptions and did not feel comfortable providing more money in certain salaries.

"We felt as a committee we had to refer this to the Board of Selectmen because we don't have enough information on job content," Craig said.

The Board of Selectmen raised a few of the questioned salaries in the budget, but had difficulties with some amounts they felt were too high.

The town clerk asked for a raise of 31.8 percent because of changes in the job position. Much of the processing has been changed and more work is computerized.

Selectwomen Carol Francesconi believed the amount asked was too high.

"My own personal opinion is … I don't think 31.8 percent is at all reasonable when we are giving everyone else 2.5 percent," Francesconi said. "I just don't think we can afford a 31.8 percent raise on town clerk."

Francesconi said she would not like to raise it any more than 5 percent.

Advisory Board members said they sat down with the town clerk to discuss why a raise was necessary. Craig said he did not see any additional work added onto the job description.

"[The town clerk] talked about added scope and responsibility, and I was under the opinion that the matter of achieving her job had changed instead of being done manually it's done by computer now," he said. "In my opinion, she talked about change in how the job was performed, but not additional work responsibilities."

Although the town clerk works the same amount of hours, the Advisory Board wondered if some of the duties were conducted outside of work hours. However, they said the town clerk did not mention this in their interview

The Selectmen agreed to raise the salary $1,000, which is a 6.3 percent increase.

The Advisory Board also had inquires about the treasurer and tax collector position. The person who works as both the treasurer and collector asked for a 56.4 increase.

The board felt this was too much for the position and decided to raise the salary 10.9 percent instead.

Although the budget has not yet been finalized or approved by the selectmen, Craig feels as though the town will be in good financial standing and will not have to borrow from free cash to offset the levy limit.

The Board of Selectmen will approve the budget this Tuesday.

Ferrari and Mercedes
Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel at the Circuit de Catalunya during day 2 of the first pre-season test ahead of the 2016 F1 seasonGetty

Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel continued from day 1 and ended the second day of the 2016 Barcelona test as the fastest driver. The first pre-season test ahead of the 2016 F1 season is underway at the Circuit de Catalunya with all 11 teams taking part.

The first day saw all the drivers stick to the medium compound tyres. However, day 2 saw the emergence of Pirelli's new ultra soft compound tyres, with the four-time world champion one of two drivers to test the new compound. The German set the quickest time of the day during a run on the ultra soft tyres, with Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo, who finished second in the day being the other driver to bolt on a pair of the new extra soft rubber, which is likely to be used only during the races involving street circuits.

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, who was the fourth fastest behind Force India's Sergio Perez decided to stick to the medium compound tyres as the reigning world champions concentrated on long runs rather than quick laps. The German driver improved on Lewis Hamilton's first day tally of 156 laps, to complete 172 laps on the second day, which is close to three race distances.

The Mclaren-Honda cars are showing remarkable improvement compared to last season testing, and are showing great reliability as well with Fernando Alonso, who was sampling the MP4-31 for the first time, one of the drivers to complete over 100 laps during the day.

The second day also saw a lot of running compared to the opening day, with eight drivers completing over hundred laps. Hamilton will take over from Rosberg for the third day, while Ferrari will see Vettel handing over the reins to Kimi Raikkonen for the next two days. Here's what the drivers from Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren-Honda had to say following their second day in the car, as quoted on ESPN F1

Nico Rosberg – Mercedes

"That was an F1 Marathon today! It's great to see that we are already able to do a lot of mileage - and we didn't have a single problem either, which is really incredible. I'm very happy and proud of what the boys and girls at Brackley and Brixworth have done over the winter. I already feel very comfortable in the car. It's a big positive to see everyone pushing so hard in all areas — bringing new developments like the floor we saw today, for example.

"The opposition are chasing us hard and we need to keep being innovative to stay ahead. At this time it's not possible to say how quick we are compared to the others. We will maybe know more at the end of next week — but only Melbourne will give the full picture. Overall, it's been a great start to the testing program and I can't wait to be back in the car on Thursday."

Sebastian Vettel – Ferrari

"So far the first thing that matters is that the car is reacting and doing what I asked for. Now obviously it is crucial that Kimi has a similar impression. About the engine, I can say it is nice to have a bit more sound coming back, it is still not as loud as it could or should be but it is a lot better than it was, now sounds a bit more like Formula 1.

"We worked on a lot of things, it's a brand new car, which means there are a lot of new bits and things are in a different place. We tried to understand how the car reacts, obviously we had an idea and certain expectation, but when you run the car on track it is always a bit different, you are then dealing with temperatures, cooling etc. Sometimes you have to stop a bit longer than necessary or than you really want, just to check, other times the driver goes off track, like I did this morning. But these things happen. Overall we are happy, but we know that we need now a lot of mileage, so there is a lot of work ahead of us."

Daniel Ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo — Red Bull Racing

"It was a good day. We did pretty much every run on our schedule and run plans are always pretty optimistic so I think we'll take that today. We put in over 100 laps and we ran pretty faultlessly. It was good for me to get a lot more laps. We also tried a few compounds, which maybe is not so relevant at this time of year but it was good to try them anyways. So, for me, a positive two days; you can't ask for too much more. I'm looking forward to next week's test now — I'll have just two more days and then it's Melbourne. I'm just excited to roll it over now and to get to Australia."

Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso — McLaren-Honda

"After a long break, it's good to be back, and to complete a good number of laps — something I missed this time last year. The first priority for the team this winter was to make sure we went through the problems we had last year and find some solutions, and we've done this, at least on the reliability side. I'm proud of the team and the job that everyone has done together on this car. I enjoyed today, but I think there is performance we need to unlock in the car.

"Most of the laps we did today were for aerodynamics studies, and reliability studies: brake temperatures, water temperatures, etc. For a driver, these are things that are not very exciting, so I'm looking forward to doing some setup changes and running with different fuel levels to really enjoy the driving as well. On the aerodynamic side, there are a lot of parts that are quite new for us, so we need a little bit of time to mature the package, and the same on the power unit, too. For us, last year we learned a lot, and now with a completely new philosophy we still need a bit of time to understand everything and exploit its potential."

Bitcoin mining

Eco-friendly Bitcoin cloud mining provider Genesis Mining, has launched the world's first Bitcoin mining fund aimed at high net worth individuals, investment funds, and accredited investors.

The Logos Fund officially filed Form D with the SEC. Instead of investors investing directly into mining by purchasing and managing their own hardware, they can invest in the Logos Fund investment vehicle, giving them direct access to Genesis Mining's industry expertise, large scale operations, and discounted hardware, it said in a statement.

Bitcoin and its underlying technology, known as blockchain, has garnered serious interest from major Wall Street banks and Silicon Valley. To date, over $1bn (£700m) has been invested into Bitcoin-related startups since 2013, which is being used to establish the infrastructure needed to scale Bitcoin.

Mining is central to Bitcoin's viability and success. High-powered supercomputers join together to process and record Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin mining enables the decentralised network functionality that is crucial for Bitcoin to operate.

Since launching in early 2014, Genesis Mining has separated itself from the competition with its dedication to transparency, community activism, and constant innovation, which has allowed the company to scale faster and more effectively than many other companies in the industry. Genesis also uses only sustainable geothermic and hydro-electric sources of energy in Iceland, where its miners are based.

In November 2015, Genesis Mining announced reaching a milestone of over 100,000 customers. Throughout the past two years of operation, Genesis Mining has received over $100m (£71m) worth of inquiries from professional investors looking to invest in Bitcoin mining through a professional investment vehicle.

Marco Streng, CEO and co-founder of Genesis Mining said: "We've made a habit of listening to our customers and doing what they ask. This is what's allowed us to reach over 100,000 customers in just two years and what will make this fund a success. When you receive $100m (£71m) worth of inquiries from big-time investors looking to enter the market, you'd be foolish not to listen and build a solution."

Genesis Mining will seed the fund with $1m ($710,000) of its own capital and will be managed by Björn Tilmann Arzt and other professionals who combined have over 30 years of experience in fund management and financial services law.

Many people have been waiting for someone to halt Donald Trump's momentum in the race for the White House.

But where Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have failed so far, it seems one man is being backed to bring down the Republican front runner – Frank Underwood. House of Cards star Michael Kelly says the fictional President and his henchman Doug Stamper from the hit Netflix show could "take down" the business mogul.

Kelly said, "Donald Trump in general is scary as s**t. That being said, Frank and Doug would take his ass down. I don't like Donald Trump."

Trump has become a controversial figure in his campaign to be selected as the Republican nominee for the US election, with his comments about Muslims, Mexico and women being condemned across American and around the world. However, he has now won three primaries in the race, and heads into the vital Super Tuesday vote as the clear favourite to win the GOP nomination ahead of the election in November.

House of Cards returns for the fourth season on 4 March, on Netflix.

Pakistan Lahore fire
Pakistan: Lahore inferno leaves 6 children of same family dead (Image for representation only)Damir Sagolj/Reuters file photo

Six children from a family were killed after an inferno engulfed their home in Lahore, Pakistan.

The fire was caused by a glitch in the power supply unit, which eventually burnt down the entire house in Shadbagh area of Lahore. Preliminary reports suggest that a short-circuit in the air-conditioning system may have prompted the fire.

Smoke and fire suffocated the children to death as they were caught unaware, during early hours on Sunday, 17 May.

The fire quickly crawled to the second floor of the three-storey building, where four children were sleeping. While two of victims died due to suffocation, four of them were burnt to death. All the children were aged between one and 12.

Firefighters rushed to scene but were unable to save the lives of the children.

"If they would have reached the location on time then at least four children could have been saved," a neighbour told Pakistan's Geo TV adding that the firefighters were not well-equipped.

The parents of the children were not present at the residence when the incident occurred. The bodies of the victims were later buried after they were brought back from hospital.

President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif have expressed grief over the loss of the lives. Sharif has sought an investigation into the tragedy.

Which foreign cities do Americans prefer to visit? Which American cities do foreigners prefer to visit? These are the duel questions behind the new Hotel Price Index from Hotels.com, which looks at statistics from 2013 to predict trends in 2014.

For American travelers, Hotels.com found that border hops were particularly enticing last year. In fact, the biggest cities in both Canada and Mexico attracted hordes of new visitors, in part, thanks to a stronger dollar.

The most favorable exchange rate in three years helped Toronto surpass Rome as the third  most popular international destination for the first time since 2010. Mexico City, meanwhile, crept into the top 20 list for the first time at No. 17 thanks to a strong “Live it to believe it” consumer marketing campaign touting the extensive culinary and cultural scene in Latin America’s largest metropolis.

While London, Paris and Barcelona remained perennial favorites in 2013, the glitz and glam of Dubai was enough to send the ambitious emirate shooting to the top of many Americans’ bucket lists. Indeed, Dubai usurped Madrid, Florence and Venice as the 14th most popular destination for U.S. travelers.

Similarly, Hotels.com said strong gains in popularity in Tokyo (No. 6), Hong Kong (No. 7) and Bangkok (No. 11) signaled the American market’s growing interest in Asia-Pacific travel.

While the global preferences of American travelers seem to shift with the wind each year, most international tourists have a good grasp on which cities they want to visit in the U.S.

“The top U.S. destinations for international travelers remain consistent with just slight shifts in the ranking of a few cities,” Hotels.com travel expert Taylor L. Cole explained in an email.

Cole noted that the usual suspects like New York, Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami and Los Angeles continued to dominate the international market. “It’s no secret that these cities appeal to travelers with a variety of interests and with major events like the Super Bowl in New York and South Beach Wine & Food Festival, in Miami. They’ll continue to attract a significant percentage of tourists” in the New Year.

One surprise in 2013 was Hollywood. “Hollywood finally broke into the Top 20 for the first time since 2010 and we anticipate a further increase in popularity for 2014,” Cole said.

To come up with its forecast, Hotels.com tracked the real prices users paid per room, per night around the world using a weighted average based on the number of rooms sold in each of its markets. The resulting Hotel Price Index is considered one of the most comprehensive benchmarks available for tracking global tourism trends, using a sample set of more than 150,000 properties around the world.

Scroll through the slideshow above for a complete look at the top 20 U.S. destinations favored by international travelers in 2013.

The latest set of giant Olympic rings to celebrate the approaching London Games will be unveiled at Birmingham Airport on Tuesday -- the first British airport to be decorated with the iconic symbol.

The rings will sit either side of the airport's new control tower and will be visible to passengers on approaching planes and also car drivers on the busy Birmingham to Coventry road.

Birmingham will host the Jamaican and United States track and field teams prior to the Games. Coventry's football stadium will kickoff the action at the Olympics with the first match in the soccer tournament which begins before the opening ceremony.

American former Olympic 400 metre champion Edwin Moses was in Birmingham to unveil the rings.

Seeing the Games celebrated in such an iconic way will be a great inspiration to the athletes training in the region, Moses said in a statement from the London organising committee.

Other sets of Olympic rings have been placed at London's St Pancras railway station, Kew Gardens and at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. Another set will float down the River Thames on a barge during the Games which start in July.

The top after-market NASDAQ Stock Market gainers are: Planar Systems, Senomyx, Actuate, SemiLEDs, and Brocade Communications Systems. The top after-market NASDAQ Stock Market losers are: Affymetrix, Tessera Technologies, Conns, Perficient, and Zhongpin.

Planar Systems Inc. (PLNR) stock jumped 18.79 percent to $3.35 in the after-market trading. The company's President and Chief Executive Officer Gerald Perkel sold 8,665 common shares at $2.88 per share on Wednesday, while Chief Financial Officer Scott Hildebrandt sold 3,598 common shares. The company's vice president, general counsel and secretary Stephen Going sold 2,658 common shares at $2.88 per share, while its vice president and general manager Douglas Barnes sold 3,298 common shares.

Senomyx Inc. (SNMX) stock grew 4.72 percent to $6.44 in the after-market trading.

Actuate Corp. (BIRT) stock gained 3.39 percent to $6.40 in the after-market trading.

SemiLEDs Corp. (LEDS) stock increased 3.29 percent to $6.28 in the after-market trading.

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (BRCD) stock rose 2.84 percent to $6.88 in the after-market trading. The Bedford Report said companies are increasingly looking to cloud computing environments in order to accelerate value in business financials and reduce costs. Cloud computing is highly appealing to today's organizations, not only because of its projected cost savings but also because of the cloud's flexibility.

The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Computer Storage Devices Industry and provides stock research on Brocade Communications. Brocade recently introduced its “CloudPlex” cloud architecture, an open framework for building virtualized data centers. CloudPlex represents Brocade’s strategy for combining compute, storage and networking components into a single converged architecture, bringing the storage and IP networking vendor into the converged infrastructure market.

Affymetrix Inc. (AFFX) stock plunged 19.38 percent to $6.45 in the after-market trading. The company expects second quarter revenue of $64 million to $65 million, below Street estimate of $74.08 million. The company anticipates product revenue of $58 million to $59 million, including consumable sales of about $55 million and instrument sales of about $3.5 million. Service revenue is projected to be about $5 million and license and royalty revenue are expected to be about $1 million. We are clearly disappointed with our revenue this quarter, said Tim Barabe, executive vice president and CFO.

During the second quarter we experienced decreased sales to academic customers across all regions, particularly in North America. Our consumable revenue was down by about 10% from last year, said Andrew Last, Affymetrix executive vice president and chief commercial officer. The company will report second quarter financial results after the close of the market on July 27.

Tessera Technologies Inc. (TSRA) stock fell 9.73 percent to $15.49 in the after-market trading. The company lowered its second quarter revenue guidance to about $71 million from previous forecast of $75.5 million to $78.5 million, while Street predicts $77.05 million. The company reduced its revenue guidance due to lower-than-expected Micro-electronics revenue, and lower shipments of DRAM units during the first quarter. We recognize Micro-electronics revenue one quarter in arrears and the first quarter actual data came in lower than expectations, which impacted our second quarter financials, said Robert Young, chief executive officer and president, Tessera.

Conns Inc. (CONN) stock slid 3.77 percent to $8.42 in the after-market trading.

Perficient Inc. (PRFT) stock declined 3.61 percent to $10.67 in the after-market trading.

Zhongpin, Inc. (HOGS) stock decreased 3 percent to $11.03 in the after-market trading.

U.S. stocks trimmed early losses to trade flat on Monday as European bank shares recovered and technology stocks regained their footing.

The market opened weakly with all three major indexes down more than 1 percent on worries of a credit rating downgrade of French banks and the lack of a solution to Greece's debt problem.

The move this morning is a case of investors responding very quickly. The bottom line is that the S&P is a good global hedge, and we saw something of a recovery in European banks, said Andrew Wilkinson, senior market analyst at Interactive Brokers Group in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was down 21.60 points, or 0.20 percent, at 10,970.53. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was up 0.16 points, or 0.01 percent, at 1,154.39. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was up 11.79 points, or 0.48 percent, at 2,479.78.

Gains in the tech heavy Nasdaq index were boosted by NetLogic Microsystems Inc (NETL.O), which jumped 50 percent to $47.88 after wireless chipmaker Broadcom Corp (BRCM.O) agreed to buy the company for about $3.7 billion.

Broadcom will pay $50 per share for each NetLogic share, a premium of 57 percent over NetLogic's Friday close of $31.91 on Nasdaq. Broadcom shares were down 0.8 percent at $33.17.

France's top banks are bracing themselves for a likely credit rating downgrade from Moody's, sources close to the situation said, further complicating their efforts to assure investors they are riding out the tensions in funding markets.

Concerns that the credit crisis in Europe may threaten to spill over into U.S. banks have been pressuring Wall Street for several months, sending shares of major banks to their historical lows in recent weeks.

Investors were also unsettled by the failure of the weekend's meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations to come up with any fresh proposals for boosting global growth.
