10 Reasons To Quit Your Job Right Now!

quittingThe game is over. That game where they get to hire you for 40 years, pay you far less than you create, and then give you a gold watch, and then you get bored, you get depressed, and you die alone. It wasn't that fun of a game anyway. When I had a corporate job I would wake up depressed. I couldn't move out of bed. The sun would be coming in. A cat on the fire escape staring at me through the window. Even it was more excited to be alive than me. And, by the way, I had the best job in the world. I interviewed prostitutes for a living at three in the morning. But they were going to kill me in my cubicle.

Subtropical Storm Beryl forms off S.C. coast

Tropical storm warnings were issued from northeast Florida to South Carolina as a cluster of storms gathered strength Saturday and was expected to become Tropical Storm Beryl over the Memorial Day weekend.

The system's maximum sustained winds were at 45 mph. But they are expected to increase as the system, now Subtropical Storm Beryl, moves over the Atlantic.

Gusts up to 55 mph and 2 to 4 inches of rain were predicted.

Tropical-storm force winds extend 115 miles out from the system's center.

The system was about 240 miles from Charleston, S.C., at 8 a.m. ET and was swirling toward the Southeast coast, the National Hurricane Center said in a public advisory notice.

"A little strengthening is possible during the next day or so," it added.

The storm is forecast to eventually turn back toward the Atlantic and away from the Gulf of Mexico, where U.S. oil and gas operations are clustered.?

Subtropical storms usually have a broader wind field than tropical storms and their shower and thunderstorm activity is more removed from the storm's center.

A tropical storm warning was issued for an area stretching from northeast Florida to South Carolina. The warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected within the area over the next 36 hours.

Meteorologists said to expect heavy rain and higher than normal tides and rip currents, Jacksonville, Fla. TV channel WJXT reported.

Beryl was moving north but expected to veer west-southwest or southwest on Saturday, the hurricane center said. The storm's center is expected to be near or over the Southeastern U.S. coast on Sunday, it said.

Beryl is the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1 to November 30, although it is not uncommon for storms to form outside that time frame.

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Brass Measuring Bars - Family Woodworking


The plate is about .015 over 3/4". I milled it down to 3/4 and 1/2. Then I took a piece of 3/4 and split it in half with the band saw so that I could make the 3/8 and 1/4 out of one piece.
I wish I could give you some but I can't get any. We stock it up for awhile and then make a big sale to the scrap yard. My boss lets us use any metal we have laying around that is not for jobs just as long that it is for us only.

Bedford NY Real Estate - bedfordnyhomes - LiveJournal

Mortgage application filings rose 3.8% for the week ending May 18 as low interest rates spurred along refinancing activity, an industry trade group said.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said refinancing application activity shot up 5.6% while an index measuring home purchases fell 3% from a week earlier. ?????

"Continuing negative developments in the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, particularly in Greece and Spain, as well as the recent French elections, which have shifted political power in a manner that will likely show less support for European austerity, helped push the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield below 1.7 percent last week," said Michael Fratantoni, MBA's vice president of research and economics. "Mortgage rates again dipped to new record lows in the survey, which spurred more borrowers back into the refinance market.? As a result, applications for refinance loans have increased for the third straight week and are at the highest level since February of this year."

Refinancing activity rose from representing 74.9% of all mortgage activity to 76.6%.

Mortgage rates continued to decline with the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage with conforming loan limits under $417,500 falling from 3.96% to 3.93%, the lowest rate in the survey's history.

Meanwhile, the 30-year, FRM for jumbo loans saw its rate jump from 4.20% to 4.25%. ?The average contract interest rate for the 30-year, FRM backed by FHA fell from 3.75% to 3.73%.

The 15-year, FRM remained unchanged at 3.26%, the lowest rate in the history of the survey.

In addition, the 5/1 ARM rate increased from 2.80% to 2.83%.

James and Wade lead Heat past Pacers, 115-83

MIAMI (AP) ? Dwyane Wade was bleeding after taking a smack in the head from Tyler Hansbrough, who became the target of a retaliatory shot from Udonis Haslem a few moments later.

When that was over, the Miami Heat kept hitting the Indiana Pacers where it mattered most ? the scoreboard.

LeBron James scored 30 points, Wade added 28, and the Heat moved one win away from another trip to the Eastern Conference finals with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Pacers on Tuesday night, when three flagrant fouls added more intrigue to an already-physical series and Indiana watched starting forwards Danny Granger and David West leave with injuries.

"We're in the flow," James said. "We're in a good flow right now. Guys know what it takes out on the floor to help us win and guys are always in position, both offensively and defensively."

The Heat outscored Indiana 74-45 after Granger sprained his left ankle, and 86-58 after Wade took the shot from Hansbrough early in the second quarter. Miami leads the best-of-seven East semifinals 3-2, with Game 6 in Indianapolis on Thursday night.

"We learned early in this series, you don't get two wins for a blowout," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.

James and Wade outscored Indiana's starters 58-45. James finished with 10 rebounds and eight assists, Shane Battier scored 13 points, Mario Chalmers had 11 rebounds, and Haslem scored 10 points for Miami, which never trailed, held a 22-2 edge in fast-break points and shot a franchise playoff-record 61 percent ? best of any team in the playoffs this season.

Paul George scored 11 points for Indiana, with Granger and West adding 10 points apiece. Granger departed the arena in a walking boot, while West's night ended after the third quarter with what the Pacers called a left knee sprain. West said someone dove into his knee ? "part of the game, I guess," West said ? but on the play in question he was getting boxed out by Battier, with replays showing the Heat forward backed into his hip area.

"They played at their tempo," West said. "We weren't able to get enough stops."

A series marked by some rough moments had perhaps its worst with 19.4 seconds remaining when Miami reserve center Dexter Pittman went across the lane to send a forearm into the chin area of Indiana's Lance Stephenson ? who made a choke sign toward James during the Pacers' Game 3 win.

Pittman was caught on camera winking after the foul. Stephenson had X-rays for a possible collarbone problem, but wrote on Twitter two hours after the game that he was fine.

"I don't know if that was retaliation. ... I'm sure the NBA will and do what they have to do," Granger said.

James said he hadn't seen a replay of Pittman's hit.

"There's no room for dirty plays in our game, period ? no matter if it comes from us or Indiana or anyone in the league at this point," James said. "We're all one group and at the end of the day you don't want to see anyone get injured."

Hansbrough hit Wade early in the second quarter, and Wade wound up with a cut over his right eye, like Haslem did at Indiana in Game 4. Haslem retaliated against Hansbrough not long afterward, earning a flagrant-1 foul that left the Pacers saying it should merit a flagrant-2 and automatic ejection.

"Referee's call," Vogel said.

Said Haslem: "I've seen worse in this league in nine years. Nobody wants to give an inch and everybody's going hard."

Indiana trailed 19-8 early, then had a chance to tie when Granger lined up a 3-pointer with 3:03 left in the half.

It didn't go down. He did.

Granger landed on James' foot. The Heat outscored Indiana 8-2 the rest of the half, with James ? who had been guarded by Granger for much of the series ? scoring seven of them, the last a layup just before the halftime horn sounded with Miami going into the break leading 49-40.

Granger tried to play in the second half, lasting about 3 minutes before realizing his ankle wasn't going to let him continue. X-rays were negative, which was about the only piece of good news for Indiana.

By then, Miami was rolling.

James leaned back to catch a slightly wayward pass from Chalmers near the Miami bench, firing it in one motion to Wade for an easy score as the reigning MVP toppled on Heat assistant coach Ron Rothstein. Mike Miller even made the crowd roar for defending Leandro Barbosa and forcing a missed 3-pointer late in the quarter ? the highlight there being Miller was playing while missing one sneaker.

When Granger left, it was 56-45. By the end of the quarter, Miami's lead was 76-57, and the margin reached 37 in the final moments.

So now the Heat are one win from the East finals, after a series filled with twists and turns.

"This is our challenge right now, to leave it behind us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "A lot of good things tonight, but we have to focus on the next one."

NOTES: Haslem needed nine stitches after Sunday's game to close a cut over his right eye; the Heat distributed 20,000 stickers in homage of the bandage he wore on Tuesday. ... Indiana has not held the lead at any point in the last 1 hour, 5 minutes, 20 seconds of the series. ... Indiana lost consecutive games for the first time in these playoffs. ... The winner of the rebounding battle has won each game of the series. Miami outrebounded Indiana 49-35 in Game 5.
