It's been a bit more than a week since we celebrated Halloween and although it's hard to beat the fantastic decorating used for that fun day, some of us give it a shot with light displays and amazing decor meant for Christmas and other winter holidays. However, since so much of the decor is the same, using decorations that stand out from those of friends and neighbors is a common challenge. This year, to overcome that challenge, try decorating a Bigfoot Statue. No, Bigfoot on its own isn't exactly associated with the winter holidays in any traditional fashion, but dress him up with the right decor and the Great North American Ape will become the life of any holiday party.
The following are a couple of ideas to spice up your holiday festivities with a big foot garden statue:
- Crown him with an elf hat and garland: Decor as simple as an elf hat can do wonders for any statues, including a sculpture of Bigfoot. Put an elf hat on his head and he goes from being a wild creature of the dark woods to becoming one of Santa's funniest little helpers.
- Dress him up like Santa: Do this and not only will your party guests be very much entertained, but pictures of your decorated Bigfoot statue might even end up being featured in the local paper. Put a red hat, white beard, and Santa Claus coat or cape on Bigfoot and put him in the lobby to greet holiday guests for full effect.

Many will agree that a system of incentives is, and has been, the backbone of the success of the capitalist economic system. That over centuries, a network of incentives has driven innovation, which in turn has encouraged the inventiveness that has led to the unparalleled generation of ideas, goods, and services across America and the industrialized West.
Given the evidence and importance of positive incentives, why, over the past 50 years, have policymakers embarked on a systematic and deliberate strategy of putting in place a catalogue of policies that dis-incentivise citizens from acting in a manner that could be beneficial to their economies, and the world at large?

Over the last decade, around the world, China has been buying up mountains and mines, agricultural land, and oil fields at an extraordinary rate. In 2007, a Chinese company bought the mineral rights to two billion tons of copper in a Peruvian mountain for U.S. $3 billion. This was relatively small change; in 2008 the same company spent $14 billion on a stake in Australia's aluminum industry. Since 2005, China has engaged in nearly 500 direct foreign investments and large contracts, valued at U.S. $505 billion–roughly one billion U.S. dollars per week.http://www.guernicamag.com/features/closing-the-china-gap/

In June 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a speech in Zambia warning of a "new colonialism" threatening the African continent. "We saw that during colonial times, it is easy to come in, take out natural resources, pay off leaders and leave," she said, in a thinly veiled swipe at China.
In 2009, China became Africa's single largest trading partner, surpassing the United States. And China's foreign direct investment in Africa has skyrocketed from under $100 million in 2003 to more than $12 billion in 2011.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/28/opinion/beijing-a-boon-for-africa.html?_r=1&emc=tnt&tntemail1=y
June 21, 2012Does aid work?New StatesmanDoes aid work?
Every day, about a billion people go hungry in the world. Nearly a third of these – 300 million people – live in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet 60 per cent of the world's untilled arable land is also in Africa. Theoretically, these statements suggest three things: first, that Africa should be able to feed itself; second, that Africa should be a net supplier of food to the rest of the world; and third, that we are dealing with a structural problem – market failure.
Despite these well-known facts, a culture of foreign aid dependency has led to a situation where African governments lose the incentive to implement necessary policy reforms that would remedy these problems.http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/media/2012/06/weeks-new-statesman-europes-most-dangerous-leader
June 20, 2012If I ruled the worldProspectIf I ruled the world
If I ruled the world, I would address the biggest threat to economic progress and political stability over the next decade: scarcity of resources. As an economist and author, I have travelled to every continent over the past two years, and the one common issue faced by every country I visited is the coming shortages of key commodities.
Although many countries have created strong economic growth and made significant strides in moving hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, the risk from commodity shortages promises to put a dent in all this good news. The world's dwindling supplies of land, fresh water, energy and minerals—essential for food and "white goods" such as mobile phones, cars, televisions and washing machines—cannot meet the pressures rising from global demand.http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics/dambisa-moyo-if-i-ruled-the-world-commodities-shortages/
June 8, 2012The Resource Shortage Is RealTIMEThe Resource Shortage Is Real
In late March and early April, as average U.S. gasoline prices climbed above $3.80 per gallon, headlines warned that soaring prices could imperil President Obama's chance of re-election. But just two months later, after average prices dropped by 30 cents per gallon, what once seemed like a deal-breaker for the election is no longer considered an issue. This narrow focus on short-term fluctuations in the price of a single commodity blinds us to one of the biggest threats to the world's economic progress and political stability in the decades to come: resource scarcity.http://ideas.time.com/2012/06/08/the-resource-shortage-is-real/

Capitalism is alive and well in Africa. Some observers will worry about the recent violence arising from the removal of fuel subsidies. The truth is that today's Nigeria is strong enough to avoid a protracted crisis. This is down to the growing power of the African consumer. A decade or two ago, the rash subsidies decision taken by President Goodluck Jonathan could have brought the country near to a full political meltdown. But in 2012, Nigerian consumers want to buy their groceries and get back to work; they have too much vested in the economy. It's a pattern mirrored across the continent.http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/288cef92-50b3-11e1-8cdb-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1vMTZacGT

After a period of notable improvement in U.S. housing, the news again looks bleak. Foreclosures show no signs of abating, despite multiple attempts by the U.S. government to address this issue. Although Washington continues to intervene in the housing market, with subsidies on mortgages and tax breaks for home ownership, these attempts to stabilize prices clearly aren't working.
A debate about whether the government should be such a central actor in the housing market is moot under the current circumstances. Uncle Sam is, has been and still plans to be involved in this important segment of the economy. The real question is how the government can optimize its role so that it benefits the taxpayers.http://online.barrons.com/article/SB50001424052970203676504575618580846900178.html?mod=BOL_twm_col

If one word appropriately characterises the current global economic and financial outlook, it's uncertainty. Fundamental asset classes are pricing contradictory market signals, with equity markets suggesting the US economy remains well supported, but the US 10 year bond yield hovering at historical lows of around 2.5 per cent, signalling a renewed economic slowdown.
Despite this on-going uncertainty in the tactical trading environment, structurally, there seems to be one fact that many investors can reasonably be in broad agreement. This is that the Chinese economy is broadly on the right track, whereas the US economy (and Western European economies aswell), is broadly on the wrong track.

It is a year since the publication of Dead Aid, my book on the ineffectiveness of sending developmental aid to Africa, and I have spent much of that time on the road. I have met a range of audiences – agitated aid supporters, charming government ministers, frustrated development specialists – in a range of countries, from Rwanda to Russia, from Sweden to South Africa, and many places in between. By far and away the most interesting trip, however, was a homecoming – to Zambia, the country where I was born.
I have made regular trips back since leaving over a decade ago to study and work in the US and the UK, but this visit had particular significance. I'd heard that my book had sold out in the local bookstores in Zambia's main cities but was uncertain about how people would react to the stark message that lies at the book's core: that we must find alternative ways to finance development in Africahttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/78500de8-0c63-11df-a941-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1ulmX5RDH

For African governments it is clear that aid flows will go down in 2010, and dramatically so. Donor governments have slashed their aid budgets, and with most facing unfavourable demographic shifts and large deficits, to depend on their largesse is no longer sensible.
The good news is that the bond markets offer a real opportunity for Africa's governments to be serious about financial discipline and transparency—and to escape from the yoke of aid.http://www.economist.com/node/14742683?story_id=14742683&d=2010

What the most vociferous aid proponents never seem to ask themselves is what sort of society is their aid-approach producing?
In their blinkered view of the African continent they are happy to ignore the fact that in the worst case scenario aid continues to feed corruption (never mind fuelling inflation, increasing the debt burden unsustainably, and disenfranchising Africans). Even in the best case scenario, many African governments have nearly abdicated wholesale their responsibility to provide public goods to their citizens; instead, unlike anywhere else in the world, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and even security are handed over to aid-agencies around the world.http://blogs.ft.com/arena/2009/06/01/is-aid-working/#axzz1ulok0vk5

I have come to Rwanda at the invitation of President Paul Kagame, whose aides had seen an account of a Lunch with the FT that I had had a month or so ago in London with William Wallis, the paper's Africa editor. Over lunch at Angela Hartnett's chic new Italian restaurant we had discussed the World Bank (where I worked for a couple of years) and Dead Aid, a book I have just written arguing against dependence on foreign aid and offering alternative ways to finance development. Now I am here in Kigali to address senior cabinet officials and other leading Rwandans.http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/165086b4-045c-11de-845b-000077b07658.html#axzz1ulmX5RDH

Since the publication of my book Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How there is Another Way for Africa (Penguin Press) earlier this month, I have received a number of messages both for and against my thesis that aid to Africa has failed, and that an engagement with the markets is the only way to deliver long-term growth and reduce poverty.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/26/international-aid-capitalism

Normally with online quizzes we try to encourage people to NOT use Google or any other search engine.
This quiz is different. You will probably HAVE to use Google to find the answer.
The idea is to supply enough clues so that a Google search may find the answer. I may post a picture or ask a really hard question and you all have to try and find the answer using Google.
For example (and the first question of the quiz) I have edited a picture of an island by taking out almost all of the place names. The question is; are there enough clues to identify the island?
What Is the name of this island?
Let's see how this one goes and if people are interested I'll either post another one or, if you can think of another one, go ahead and post it.
Good luck.

Springfield eyes $1M school cutBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | January 15,2014SPRINGFIELD This towns School Board is considering cutting nearly two dozen teachers and support staffers to save residents almost $1 million from tax bills that otherwise could skyrocket.
Obviously the impact is as large as the number of people, Superintendent Zachary McLaughlin said. But when we saw what the potential tax increases were going to be, we started contemplating worst-case scenarios.
With a proposed $960,376 in cuts to the 1,450-student, 359-employee pre-K-12 system, a household with a $280,000 home and $115,000 income would still see its school taxes rise this coming academic year by $174. But without any reductions, the increase would double to $352.
This is not a pleasant experience for anyone, School Board Chairwoman Jeanice Garfield said. Its important for the community to come out and talk to us.
As a result, the board will hold a special public hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Springfield High School library.
Under the proposal, the grade K-2 Elm Hill primary school faces $208,510 in cuts, including two classroom teachers, two paraeducators and a mental health clinician, leading average class sizes to rise from 18 to 20.5.
The grade 3-5 Union Street elementary school faces $150,570 in cuts, including four paraeducators and a mental health clinician, leading average class sizes to rise to 22.
The grade 6-8 Riverside Middle School faces $243,992 in cuts, including one world language teacher, half-time teachers for language arts, math, science and social studies, and one half-time and two full-time paraeducators, leading average class sizes to rise from 17.47 to 24.67.
(The middle school cut would require the hiring of a half-time library clerk, the superintendent said, because in order to fill the schedule with some of these cuts, the librarian will have to teach for half of the day.)
And the grade 9-12 Springfield High School faces $270,396 in cuts, including one social studies teacher, half-time teachers for English, math and Russian, one instructional assistant and the elimination of the Precision Valley alternative education program for students in danger of dropping out.
The high school cut would force the elimination of the current four-year social studies requirement, as well as Advanced Placement math and Russian programs.
With all the cuts which also include the $74,000 loss of an evening maintenance supervisor the coming budget would increase just $8,233 from the current years $28 million but still require a tax increase of 6.2 cents because of changing local variables in a complex state formula.
Based on preliminary response, the School Board isnt happy with any option. At a meeting Monday, member Joseph Bill Harbeson noted that depending on individual decisions to retire or relocate, up to 23 people could be losing their livelihoods.
The superintendent responded: Well be discussing positions and not names because its not personality-based choices. We employ the same number but weve lost 100 students. It may lead to some beloved people being cut, but this is not about emotion, this is about how we run the system we have in place.

SKU:626.288 | Stone LEATHER

Write a Review
For the student or artist on the go, this Pencil Case makes a perfect accessory. Roomy enough for plenty of storage but small enough to always carry with you, it's got that combo of form and function that we always strive for at Leatherology. Made from genuine leather, our Pencil Case will hold all your pencils, pens, markers, and other small items, like USB drives, memory cards, and lead refills. A nylon lining inside makes it easy to wipe away pencil shavings or marks and the zipper opening on top keeps everything secure when not in use. A stylish take on an old classic, this Pencil Case makes a handy tool for anyone who always needs to have their writing tools with them.
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
I was wanting something to carry my iphone charger, cord, and earphones in. This fits everything perfectly. I don't anticipate having to use my charger and earphones too often when I'm out and about, which is good because it's a pretty snug fit to have everything in there. However, this is great because it doesn't take up much space in my purse, yet holds what I need it to. Beautiful quality and just the right color I wanted.
This is a great little case. Perfect for about 5 pens/pencils. Super soft leather, excellent construction. If you need something slim for portable use, this is a great choice.
Beautifully made and just what I wanted.
Will use Leatherology again when searching for high quality products.
Great idea and size. However, the leather is poor and the design could of been better. The piece should of been more structured. It's flimsy. Still using it though as the size is ideal.
The quality is great, the gift box makes it even more special.
I had the measurements before, but it is really a very small pouch. It is convenient for 3-4 pens/pensils.
I keep my pen, pencil, sharpie and highlighter in this pouch. It fits quite a bit for a small case. Nice soft leather! Grape color is pretty.
My husband loved it. Fast shipping beautifully packaged.
I was terribly pleased with the entire process. The ordering, the time of arrival of the case, the packing the case arrived in and the case. I am extremely pleased with the case and your company and would recommend them to anyone!!!
Thanks for a great experience!!!
Great purchase! Great quality!
Just received my pencil case in the mail and had my initials put on it! Love it so cute and love the packaging it came in such quality!:) definitely will order again and recommend your products!
I just love this little pencil case. It can fit surprisingly a lot: a pen, a pencil, a Tide "to go" stick, and two thumb drives, and still has some room left.
I love the feel of the leather and the zipper is very good quality.
Sleek pencil holder...great to fit in your purse or backpack. It could be a tad longer as it won't fit an unsharpened pencil but other than that it's very nice.
I LOVE Leatherology!! Y'all make great bags.....I have ordered several different bags and have been delighted and impressed with each and every one. Beautiful leather in beautiful colors. I now have at long last organized my purse. The functionality of your products is amazing. This small pencil case I use to carry my vapor stick in as I am trying to quit smoking. Almost every time I take a Leatherolgy bag out of my purse someone wants to know where did I purchase it.......I use another bag, can't recall the name of it right now,but I carry all my chargersr in it....phone , iPad , kindle and,keyboard, and I still have room to through in a book light .....keep up the great work....y'all are awesome!
Just the right size for my purse, it carries my favorite pen and pencil. Don't have to dig around anymore to find something to write with. Leather is soft, quality of case is very good. And they blue is very pretty.
Nice item
Great product and boxed presentation for corporate gift.
very pleased with purchase
Perfect handbag size for your favorite writing instruments!
It was a little smaller than I expected, but still fits around 5 pens or pencils, so it's perfect for me! Very high quality, I especially liked the monogram.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Hundreds flock to Workington motor show
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
Hundreds of people visited Workington's first Urban Motor Show.
The event, organised by cnevents, part of CN Group which owns the Times & Star, saw West Cumbrian motor dealers bring the newest models to Workington town centre.
There was also entertainment and activities for all the family, but the stars of Saturday's show were the cars.
They were provided by some of the most trusted names in the business – Border Cars, Dobies Peugeot and Vauxhall, both of Lillyhall, Stan Palmer Honda, of Cockermouth, and B and H Motors, of Whitehaven.
Stephen McCullough, business development director for CN Group, said: "It was an incredible success.
"The town centre was absolutely heaving and local businesses probably benefited as a result of the huge interest people showed in the cars and the extra visitors.
"The car dealers who were involved reported that a lot of people were booking test drives for Sunday, so people were looking to buy."
The event was inspired partly by the success of a similar show in Whitehaven.
Mr McCullough added: "Bringing the cars to the people is a reversal of what has been done in the past. It seems to work well as there were a lot of healthy inquiries made about the cars being showcased."
Dean Adams, 32, sales executive for the Vauxhall dealership, said: "The atmosphere was buzzing all day.
"We really hope it comes back to Workington next year because it was a great day for us and for the town."
Ron Batty, dealer principal for B and H Motors, said: "We took a variety of cars down including the new Ibiza and spoke to quite a few people."

In the Fall of each year, I pull out my mother's scrapbook, so I can display her 1925 Halloween party page. Every Fall, as I take the page from the pile, I begin to think that I have got to do something to preserve these pages. It's a miracle the pages even exist. This scrapbook was in the attic of our home when I was a child.
In order to explain this story, I have to tell you that I read the book, "Little Women" when I was probably too young to understand most of it. I had found the worn book in the attic, and I thought the title implied that the book was about little girls. I don't know if I understood much of what I read, or even if I really read every line on every page. All I know, is that "Jo" was who I wanted to be when I grew up (I still want to be Jo when I grow up). You may remember that Jo would go to the attic to write.
I'm betting that her attic was never as hot in the summer or as cold in the winter as our attic was in Arkansas! I romanticized the vision I had of Jo writing her heart away in the attic. I went to the attic, wearing as little as possible in the summer and in my heavy coat in winter. I kept a little spiral notebook in the attic, and for years, I wrote in that little journal. Oh, I thought I was writing a brilliant novel! Wonder what ever happened to that notebook. (Keep in mind, there were no computers then – this may have been the beginnings of my addiction to blogging.)
I also dug in the multitudes of boxes that were piled in the attic, and one of my favorite finds was my mother's scrapbook. (I still love to dig in boxes at estate sales and flea markets to look for a hidden treasure-is this where it all started?) I looked at these scrapbook pages so many times, the book fell apart. I emptied a small box, so I could keep the separate pages of the book all together in the box. (I wonder if writing in a spiral notebook and looking at old black and white photos in a dark attic are the reasons I now wear glasses.)
The pages were filled with party invitations and decorations (maybe this is where my enjoyment of tablescaping began-even though there was no such word waaaay back then).
We didn't take as many photographs when I was young as we do "nowadays"! So even the photographs became a source of inspiration for me, as I made up stories about the strangers in the photos.
My love for old
junk treasures may have begun with this scrapbook.
I wish I could say that my crafting talents began with this scrapbook, but sadly, I didn't pick up that gene from the scrapbook.
Maybe my hesitation to throw away anything began with this scrapbook.
An invite to a tea party – I do love to join in on all of the tea parties in Blogville. Did that love begin in the attic loooooong ago? Looking through the pages of the scrapbook, I determined that my mother had a lot of friends and a lot of fun while she was in college. Maybe that is the reason that I attended college. (It may also be the reason I did more partying than studying when I went to college!)
Well, THAT was therapeutic! This post started out as a trip down memory lane, but it turned into a trip into the
shallow deep recesses of my mind for some self-analyzing! Now that I know that all of my problems began in that attic, with this scrapbook, I have something to blame for all of those problems, and I didn't even have to pay for the therapy!
I'm linking this post to Story Tellers Wednesday at A Southern Belle With Northern Roots. Thank you Shannon for hosting.
Don't forget -- Cloche Party at A Stroll Thru Life on September 17th! Be there, or be square! (Uh Oh! That trip down memory lane brought back some old lingo!)
My dear friend, Cindy, uses a term that I love, because it is so descriptive of what I have done in this post. I have been "heart plopping". I'll say it again, if you've never visited my blog before, I don't often heart plop on here, so please come back again some time. A huge thank you to each of you who stick around to read my heart plopping and anything else I might post on my little blog. laurie

Butler County Woman Fraudulently Obtained School Loans
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of Harrisville, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of mail fraud, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Kelly Ann Burdette, a/k/a Kelly Montifiori, a/k/a Kelly Sturgis, 44, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Burdette fraudulently obtained student loans from private lenders in the name of a relative. Burdette forged her relative's name on the loan applications and proceeds checks.
Judge Schwab scheduled sentencing for March 30, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. The law provides for a total sentence of 30 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Pending sentencing, the court continued the defendant on bond.
Assistant United States Attorney Leo M. Dillon is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The United States Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Lowndes County Sheriff's Office deputies confirmed they have a 17-year-old Starkville resident in custody after a Thursday morning shooting at a club near the Oktibbeha-Lowndes county line that resulted in a death.
Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt confirmed 23-year-old Trumaine Q. Macon of Starkville suffered a gunshot wound at Crossroads Lounge on Miss. Highway 182 West and was pronounced dead at 12:58 a.m. Thursday at OCH Regional Medical Center.
Lowndes County Deputies were dispatched to the scene at 12:11 a.m. Oktibbeha County deputies arrived afterward to assist.
Marc Miley, Lowndes County Chief Deputy, said a 17-year-old male Starkville resident was taken in custody but would not release his name. Due to the investigation's ongoing nature, Miley said he does not know if more arrests will be made.
Miley declined to say whether or not a handgun was recovered.
Hunt said others at the club loaded Macon in a vehicle — which ran out of gas near the East Oktibbeha County Fire Department — to transport him to OCH. The second vehicle he was placed in arrived at OCH, Hunt said, but Macon was pronounced dead after attempts to resuscitate him failed.
Miley said this is not the first shooting he's worked at Crossroads Lounge during his tenure, but this is the first such incident this year and there was not one last year.
The club was charged by Alcoholic Beverage Control agents with unspecified alcohol violations Wednesday night that were unrelated to the shooting, Miley said.

NXT Idea Book - First Look (Jim Kelly)

All I can come up with is some kind of plotter... but it really doesn't look like your standard x and y set-up.
Oooh, and I'm so bummed. I almost pre-ordered the book because my sister wanted free shipping on her order. But we didn't know if it would qualify since it was pre-order

Nice MLCAD. A few questions for everyone:
What are the proper procedures to rendering and creating building instructions?
How do you deal with (at least in LDview) the problems with the rendering of electronics. You can see in the top right of the picture the side of the NXT motor seems open. It is worse with RCX parts.
Any other words of advice? MLCADing takes a long time!
- May 28, 2007, 3:00:00 PM
- Maniac of Mayhem said...
Actually, if you look closely you can see that the upper motor is reflecting the NXT brick and the liftarm conected to it. If perhaps there was some way to cut down on the reflective properties of those parts in LDview or POVray...
- May 28, 2007, 10:48:00 PM
can you post the CAD files? this view dosn't help very good.
- May 30, 2007, 1:18:00 AM
ooh, a guessing game - why do you have to keep the content of the book so secret? the 'what is it' pic is lacking in any kind of excitement for me. if you have nothing to be ashamed of publish the TOC

We're ashamed of the TOC.
- May 31, 2007, 10:18:00 AM
and I say if your not ashamed of your comment post your real name instead of anonymous!
I do have a real question and comment Jim.
Are all the robots in CAD or are some photos like the Maya book?
I just wan t to say that me and my friends like your blog and all the other people that you work with on the blog. I hope you ignore people that post bad stuff and keep up the good work!!!!!
Check ya later!!!!

Hi, Haley.
Sorry I missed your comment - I was going back through some posts and just saw your post.
We don't require people to register at blogger, so unfortunately people can post anonymously. This really isn't a bad thing because a lot of people (especially young kids) should probably not identify themselves with a lot of detail (including email address)... posting anonymously is fine with us.
We do occasionally get people who post things that aren't nice or helpful to the discussion. When they do, we tend to leave the comment unless it contains bad language or is very insulting or cruel in some way. Other times we just delete stuff that we feel is inappropriate for some other reason.
Some people don't like to have fun... and this person is just grumpy because I didn't give away the secret of this device.
Rest assured, as the book gets closer, we will post the Table of Contents and probably more chapter excerpts for you to look at.
It's been a LONG time since I've visited New Hampshire - pretty state and I hope it's not getting too hot up there for you :)
And thank you for the comment - all of us here are glad you like the blog and we hope you'll keep visiting!

I was disappointed to have been unable to make the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress last week in Moscow. It's a historic event, in its fifth year, that gathers startup champions from around the world--entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, thought leaders and policymakers--to work together to help bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. This kind of annual assembly has contributed to the expansion of a global entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting experts and entrepreneurs across borders and sectors to unleash their ideas and transform innovation into reality.
For years, Dave Felker created equipment for one of the world's leading golf companies, Calloway Golf. There he designed golf balls and clubs for the game's best golfers. Then, Dave left Calloway. Throwing the USGA rules out the window and using the laws of physics instead, Dave created the Polara golf ball, which would help correct an average golfer's hook or slice.
As the final hours ticked away at Healthcare's Grand Hackfest: Idea to Breakthrough Innovation in One Weekend, teams huddled together in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory, continuing to brainstorm on their design and prototype innovative breakthroughs from the last few days.
In the final day of Healthcare's Grand Hackfest: Idea to Breakthrough Innovation in One Weekend, teams prepared the final push for their ideas developed over the course of a few days at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
What's the most valuable aspect of your business? Is it the bricks and mortar? The equipment? Or is it something intangible? While you can't touch it, feel it or see it, intellectual property when defined as "knowledge" or "know how" is often times the real equity of a business, and if it's lost, it can bring that business to its knees.
People everywhere. Parties that seem to be on continuous loop all day. Vendors marketing new ideas, new startups or new swag everywhere you go. And then there's the conference with its many speakers presenting on topics ranging from anything to everything. With 30,000 people in attendance, the South By Southwest Interactive Conference can be overwhelming. So from a recent SXSW newbie to you, here are three questions to ask yourself when preparing to attend SXSW 2015.
Venture capital certainly has its place within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Some of our nation's largest companies (and employers), like Apple, Google and FedEx, have secured this form of funding. But plenty of Kauffman Foundation research tells us that VC funding isn't as mainstream in startups as one would gather based on its common place in startup news. In fact, less than 20 percent of the fastest growing young companies ever take venture capital money.
Every Thursday evening in downtown Pittsburgh, something special happens at Little E's Jazz and Blues Club. During happy hour each week, entrepreneurs get together to tap into what's hot in the Pittsburgh start-up arena. Over drinks and cool jazz, they have the opportunity to interact and create relationships with potential financiers, university incubators, economic development thought leaders and other business stars.
On day two of Healthcare's Grand Hackfest: Idea to Breakthrough Innovation in One Weekend,

Price for our room was $43 more expensive than booking through hotel's own website, but probably not the hotel's fault. Poor (sometimes) or no (mostly) working wifi in the room. No hot water and bad water pressure. Stained sheets, dirt on the floor. Got no good help with finding a restaurant outside the hotel and no help with finding a taxi that wasn't way overpriced. Nice balcony at restaurant area but will not stay here again.

If you have been reading magazines for a while, then you have at least heard of the Specialty Equipment Market Association or SEMA show. This is where manufacturers of all things automotive congregate to show off their new application or unveil their newest, hottest parts. The show is held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the perfect place for gearheads to come and cut loose, have some drinks, lose some money, and then drool over the car and parts.
We love going to SEMA because we get a first hand look at the newest products. We get to talk to the manufacturers ask detailed questions on how it works or what the benefits are. The staff here at Super Chevy went and walked the million-square-foot convention center more times than we'd like to remember. We did this so you can sit in the comfort of your home, garage or bathroom and browse the coolest stuff we saw.

Great bargain bike
By brysonrs
from Rexburg, ID
I decided not to waste my money on an expensive bike, so I got this. Great bike with some nice components. Added some Shimano clipless pedals and a new seat. The seat is agony for anything more than 5 miles. Replace it and you are good to go.

Great road bike!
By Tim
from Shelbyville, Indiana
Great road bike at a very reasonable price.
Love It!!!
By Turtlegirl
from Port St Lucei, FL
Bike is great deal for the price (came out to under $480 with discounts). Shipped really fast too. Assembly wasn't too bad, but no instructions. If you've ever worked on a bike, you should be able to figure it out. I will have to take it to the shop to adjust the gears, as I don't know how to do that. It's light and fast. The seat is really uncomfortable (female rider). Planning on getting a new one. Also will upgrade to clip-in pedals. This is the second bike I've gotten from Nashbar and both have been great.

Great value
By Stegoceras
from Racine wi
I bought this as a gift for my son as a step up from his last bike. I didn't want to get him a real expensive machine because of his track record of taking care of things, but i wanted one good enough that he would want to take care of it. It arrived in three days and took about 45 minutes to put together taking my time. The front wheel needed to be trued, which took an addtional 15 minutes. I'm a pretty good mechanic and you should have one assemble this if you are not. I rode it, some frame flex, but I was impressed with the smoothness and responsiveness. There are no decals on the silver painted frame, leaving a creative person license to cut some on a printer. I saw a Schwinn branded bike with the exact same components for $800, which is what you should expect to pay for a bike at this level in a store. The top tube is too long in my opinion as is the trend these days. The stem is long adding to the problem, but a young guy might not see it that way. I would fit it out with a shorter higher angle stem for me. It has a triple crank but is not really set up for a rack, so a double would have been fine. This has a nine speed on the rear, note many bikes in this price range have 8.

nice ride
By avkurt
from binghamton, NY
Easy to set up out of the box, I put my other pedals on it as they go with my shoe clips. Bike is almost the same as my cannon dale of 20 years. The old bike was ready to go as a backup if needed. The headset is beefier than the old bike. They drive train is solid too, the cranks are a great upgrade and the new rims are sweet. Never thought I would have carbon fiber forks either. I think this is more than an entry level ride even though thats what they say. The bike is much lighter than my old cannon dale too!
Great buy but lacks flashiness
By R
from Ohio
The bike was shipped promptly and was well packaged and easily assembled. Once assembled it was ready for riding. Its very very plain and lacks decorative decals, etc.
Great Bike for the Price 2 Get you Ridin
By Johnny CO
from Southern Colorado
After 1 year of use:Bought this bike to get out there and introduce myself to road biking. What a great entry level bike! Decent components and kinda lightweight. Quick,nimble ride. My only complaints were the stem and handlebars, but no worries, Ive upgraded them to a shorter stem and a more ergo handlebar.Also added, a computer and water bottle cages. With a bike like this anything can be upgraded to your liking. Really cheap price makes it affordable. The seat seems to be just fine, which others seem to dislike because its uncomfortable. Ive also logged numerous hours spinning this bike in a indoor trainer.I would reccommend a professional put it together for you when you receive it. It needed some basic adjustments and wheel tuning. Also think about a bike fit at your local bicycle shop, it will be worth it.Ive been logging 10 to 50 mile rides on this beast and its all good. Save your money and buy this low end ride, it doesnt matter. What does matter is that your pedaling and smiling!!
Great bike for the money - go for it!
By Keith
from Texas
This is definitely a great purchase for the money. I have ridden it about 100 miles in the first couple weeks of ownership, and I am very satisfied. The Shimano Sora equipment line is very nice and the ride is smooth. You won't be disappointed with this if your intentions are just to ride 20-50 miles a few weekends a month, charity rides and so forth. I decided to try to build it myself. There are no assembly instructions (for some reason I thought there would be), but it is fairly obvious what you need to do. It is too difficult to do the derailleur adjustments on your own if you don't have expertise in bike maintenance. I had a little grinding in some gears that I couldn't fix - it would be different if they were pre-adjusted (mine obviously weren't). Also, my wheels needed to be trued and it is hard to know if you have everything set up right for your body. For this reason, I'd recommend having a local bike shop do the build for you. I ended up taking mine in after I did the basic assembly for some fine tuning and wheel truing - so you might as well have them do it all.I had a more comfortable seat that I immediately swapped out the stock seat for, and yes the stock seat will kill you if you plan to ride any distance at all.Toe clips are ok but you might end up wanting the clipless shoes, like I do now.With the money you save on the bike, you can afford to buy the things this bike is missing and get on the road for a lot cheaper than alternatives. Highly recommended.

If you can't distinguish the difference between a recently born baby and a feotus in the first or second trimester then it's pointless engaging you in conversation.
Furthermore, using tragedy like this to push your backwards views is a disgrace.
And for anyone interested in a working link to the source article:
Thats simply murder. Now I don't think she should be charged as an adult. Hasn't really developed yet. But There's no question it's murder. But the mother of the 14 yr old is just as guilty since everyone else could see it.

With a few modifications, Office 2013 would fit right in with the Whistler look.
I agree. At risk of sounding the rabid Windows 8 defenders, I think the new Office is visually a big step back. It looks like something I would install and use in 1996, but I guess old is new and new is old. Aero Glass was looking a bit long in the tooth, but I was a fan of the refined version of it in the DP and RC. But I really like the Whistler-like thing they have going now.
