mStand v.s. HiRise for MacBook
I've been using the mStand for a little over a year now, but when Twelve South came out with their new HiRise for MacBook stand I I've been using the mStand for a little over a year now, but when Twelve South came out with their new HiRise for MacBook stand I figured I would give it a try. I'm not going to compare unboxing because functionality it what ultimately matters.
I dock/undock my Early 2011 MacBook Pro roughly 5-10 times a week. What is most important to me is that it is a seamless transition. Have laptop, put on stand, and connect cables. The mStand excels at this with its "feet" to catch the laptop and make perfect positioning an ease with each use. The HiRise however, does not have such a feature and this can become a tedious task to get the same position as you had once before. Placing your $3k MacBook Pro on a stand shouldn't be a guessing game, and you definitely shouldn't be worried that it might fall off given the incorrect position.
Stand placement is another big issue for me and honestly, I didn't realize it was until I got the HiRise. The stand shouldn't move once placed in the proper position on my desk. The mStand doesn't move. The HiRise does, and abhorrently so.
Lastly, elevation is also critical. While the HiRise will get the top of your MacBook Pro screen to roughly 15 1/2", the mStand will give you a full inch more. There is also more downward angle on the body of the Macbook Pro with the mStand. The is bound to be more beneficial to heat dissipation. I have also found it makes it easier to use the keyboard in those instances I forget to turn Bluetooth back on before docking my MacBook Pro.
P.S. With the HiRise height set to the lowest point, the back(where the back of your laptop would sit) is at 3 5/8" and the front is at 2 1/8". …

It Does Stick! People are using it wrong!

It seems very well built and sturdy and everyt My HiRise Stand for MacBook arrived today and I have to say I'm delighted with it. It seems very well built and sturdy and everything appears to be even. My only criticism is that I had assumed that it would be possible to adjust the level of tilt, but it isn't. Apart from that, I'm very pleased.
As to the previous comments posted, I wonder whether one was just a bad example - it would be interesting to know if the buyer's second purchase was the same. As to the other, yes, the packaging oozes class and expense and I'm sure that does add to the price, but since when has that put off an Apple purchaser? Unpackaging an Apple product is one of those little joys that makes Apple what it is. I'm delighted that Twelve South thought enough about their customers that they would try to emulate that experience also. Good for them.
Finally on the price, yes it is a bit costly, but I was prepared to pay the extra in order to have the adjustable stand. As it turns out, I have already adjusted the stand once because I decided I didn't actually need it quite the way up to the top. …

I can honest After much debate and comparison shopping, I decided to take a chance on this stand despite so many negative reviews. I can honestly say,I don't know why they exist other than maybe people were somehow using the product wrong. My 15 inch macbook pro sits on the stand and does not slide off.
It is a little pricey but I supposed you're paying for the adjustability and aesthetics. It also could be less wobbly, I guess, if the part the machine sits on was "U" shaped instead of "V". Despite this, I still fear my machine is going to fall and I haven't had it slide off as others have reported. …

There was glue all over the You get a beautiful package, the stand is nicely designed but the finish of the product is very poor. There was glue all over the product, but the rubber mat (which grips the Macbook) was not properly attached.
My advice for potential customers would be to save your money and place your Macbook on 2 old phone books. (provides equal elevation)
My advice for the company would be to save money on the beautiful package and spend it on proper product control.

Established in 1999, the Steel Monarchs Steel Drum band provides a creative outlet for students at Monarch School. Playing in the band allows our students to express their creativity and is also a fun way to learn the discipline of working as part of a group. All students are encouraged to play and participate in weekly lessons provided by the Recreational Music Center. In the past, the band performed at community events where they were able to show off their talent and the progress they'd made during practice. Currently, we are in the process of recalibrating our performance team to include a wide range of student talents and will be taking a hiatus from performances. The Steel Drum program will continue during this hiatus and will always be an important aspect of our student enrichment model.

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Minutes from the bustling carnival of the Schwedenplatz and five minutes from the Stephansdom, the 104-room Hotel Post is a big hotel on a little street. It's much bigger than the surrounding properties and consequently it feels less cozy. It's a fair value for a hotel in the middle of the Innere Stadt, as the rooms are big and the amenities ample.
Though large, the Post offers fragments of character crosshatched with the chain-style anonymity. A hotel has stood here for centuries (Mozart slept in this very spot!), though the building only became the Hotel Post in 1942. Inside the building, there's a beautiful wrought iron elevator and a cozy lobby area.
It's too bad that the art nouveau frontage belies rooms that are anonymous. While the oriental rugs in the rooms are a classic touch, the desks and beds are banal, and look as if they were sourced from a U.S. Midwestern chain hotel. Rooms have satellite televisions and hair dryers, but no wireless. Doubles are quite large, though some of that space comes at the expense of the en suite bathrooms, which are dark and cramped.

About the Hotel Post neighborhood
The beautiful Innere Stadt is the Vienna of tourist brochures and chocolate boxes. The narrow, twisting cobblestone streets and fin-de-siècle façades, the expensive shops on the pedestrian-only Graben, and the alluring Stephansdom are all here. Happily, the Innere Stadt is big enough to boast back streets that appear quiet and undiscovered, thus offering a respite from the frenzy.

When the Island View Market prepared to open its new wine and beer patio, the owners only announced the opening by email to a list of newsletter followers.
After opening at noon on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, the place was packed by 2 p.m.
Jim Ohlinger and his wife, Chris, renovated what used to be a small apartment behind the store, located at 7102 Ray Nash Drive NW.
The store has been in business since 1950. The Ohlingers have had the store for almost two years now, after a friend bought it just to stop it from going under.
It's more than beer and wine the Ohlingers have in stock; there's root beer floats, hot dogs and retro sodas. There isn't a big-name label in there either.
"We try to keep it all local," Chris said.
The cheese, the salsa and the smoked salmon all come from nearby. The beers and wines are from Washington and Oregon.
Closest to home is 7 Seas Brewing. The Island View Market will host a brewer's night on July 31.
Gig Harbor winery Carl's Pond has been popular, too. Chris said it's hard to keep on the shelf.
It's the view that is a big draw. The dock sits on the water and boats come and go. There's herons and deer out in the woods and water.
"It's like sitting here watching National Geographic," Jim said of the back porch.
Colloquially, the spot is known as "the back porch," but that's not all there is to it, Chris said. Inside are chairs, bar stools and tables.
It's a local space, Jim said, because 90 percent of the customers are regulars from the area. In the winter, it's the local support that keeps the market afloat.
Years and years ago, the Island View Market was the Rosedale Community Center, and that spirit is still alive.
"It's like it's getting back to the community center again," Jim said. "It came full circle."Karen Miller: 253-358-4155 firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @Gateway_Karen

I saw this beautiful gravestone in Easton's Spring Hill Cemetery last weekend:
Category Archives: Graves
In Honor of Mother's Day
Taken at Stevensville Cemetery on Kent Island in Maryland.
Wordless Wednesday: Cherub
Tombstone Tuesday: Stevensville Cemetery
Nearly a year ago, I did a post about this cemetery after I got stuck on Route 50, which borders it. I finally got a chance to visit the grounds last Friday.
There is an interesting small plot at the front of the cemetery. Its plaque reads:
"In memory of Marian Price Steuart this area has been reserved for monuments removed from many family cemeteries that have existed on Kent Island. Dedicated to Kent Island Heritage Society."
Here is a selection of photos from the plot:
There's quite a variety of different headstones in the rest of the cemetery, dating from the early 1800s to today. I'll have more posts about what I found there in coming days and weeks.
Tombstone Tuesday: Thomas Webb
Here lies deposited the Remains
of Mr. Thomas Webb
who Died Very suddenly much
lamented y 8th July 1769
Aged 33 Years
He was born in the City of
Gloucester in England.
You can read more about him and the rest of the inscription on his tombstone on FindaGrave. Photo taken last summer at Granary Burial Ground in Boston, Mass.
More Friends Album Graves
For this Tombstone Tuesday, I give you still more graves associated with the Friends Album. As I mentioned in my post earlier today, I've found several memorials on FindaGrave associated with the Youngs, Morrises and Morrells. A kind volunteer in Connecticut even posted some photos for me minutes after I requested them this weekend. Here are the links:
Mary Morris (Photo in Friends Album)
Cornelia Morris Young (Photo in album)
Their parents, Roswell and Laura.
Henry B. Young (Cornelia's husband)
Stanley M. Young (Henry's brother (I mentioned him last week, along with brother-in-law William Morrell; no photo available on FindaGrave, unfortunately)
Tombstone Tuesday: Friends Album Graves
For Tombstone Tuesday, I did some more searching on FindaGrave for the known subjects and the photographers associated with the Friends Album. In an earlier post, I mentioned that I had already found the memorial for subject Ellis B. Wilson.
I found a memorial for Friend No. 18, William Morrill. His tombstone also lists his parents. William's photo in the Friends Album lists him as the brother of Mrs. Stanley M. Young. William is buried at what is now South Cemetery in Bridgewater, Conn. FindaGrave notes that this cemetery was once known as Old Bridgewater Burying Place.
This find is helpful because it gives me his exact date of death, which may help me track down an obituary for him. Alas, this was the only additional tombstone photo I could find related to the Friends Album so far.
I did find memorials for Stanley M. Young and his wife, Mary. They are buried at Bridgewater Center Cemetery in Litchfield County, Connecticut. There are no tombstone photos for them though. I may request them.

Follow Friday: A Grave Interest
If you have an interest in cemeteries and gravestones (and let's face it, who doesn't? ;) ) then I suggest you check out the blog A Grave Interest. Two of blogger Joy Neighbors' posts this week were really interesting to me. The first on Celtic crosses was very informative. I even forwarded it to a friend who has a tattoo of a Celtic cross gravestone (!). Today's post on daffodils in cemeteries and their symbolism is very timely and sweet.
One Tomb, 83 Years of Archbalds
Back to the Granary Burial Ground in Boston, where this tombstone can be found (click the picture for a larger version):
Here's the FindaGrave record for (the Rev.) Dr. (Mather) Byles, who starts off the list (be sure to check out the note left by a visitor to this page; also note who created this record). Here's the record for Azor Archbald, whose tomb is pictured.
Tombstone Tuesday: Laurel Hill Cemetery
Recently, I discovered that I had many relatives buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. I contacted the cemetery after I learned that, for a fee, they will send you a packet about the gravesite of your ancestors, including a photo of the grave, related paperwork, a map of its location, and more. It was well worth the cost! The photo very clearly shows all the names on the gravestone and the burial certificates that I received contain a wealth of information.
Equally as impressive are Laurel Hill's marketing efforts. Now that I'm on their contact list, I get invitations to their events, and they are numerous. This past Saturday, they held an event about "The Victorian Celebration of Death." A variety of tours centering around different themes are offered throughout the year. Example: "From Able-Bodied to Disembodied: The Athletes at Rest in Laurel Hill (Tour & Watch Phillies Game)." They even have their own Boneyard Bookclub. Philadelphia's not too far from me and I hope to make it to the cemetery to see my ancestors' gravesite and to attend one of the events someday.
By the way, 2011 marks the 175th anniversary of the cemetery and they'll be holding a birthday gala later this month.

Fishing Guide
Bobber Rod
This rod is obtained from Rusl's wife in Ordon Village after you bring her the cradle.
To use the bobber rod equip the rod to the B button. Press B and tilt the wiimote back so that the rod is vertical. Then, snap your wrist forward to cast your line. Allow the bobber to align itself vertically and watch closely. To catch a fish wait for a the bobber to get a good tug. It should submerge at least to the uppermost yellow section. Once you get a good nibble just snap the wiimote into a vertical position and keep it there until you land your fish. Link will catch and release, recording the fish caught and the biggest catches in your Fish Journal. Catching a fish will net you a heart, or sometimes a rupee.
To increase your chances of fish biting, use bait with the bobber rod.
Lure Rod
To fish with the lure rod, you must rent one from Hena's Fishing Hole on the Upper Zora River. You have a variety of lures to choose from, all best suited for different situations and different fish.
To use the lure rod, press the B button to equip it. Hold the A button and raise the wiimote vertically to lift the rod. Snap your wrist forward to cast, releasing the A button at the top of the motion. You can control how far you cast your lure by varying your release. To attract fish wiggle your lure by moving the wiimote side to side for a few seconds and then pause. Lather, rinse and repeat.
Once a fish strikes your lure set the hook by lifting the wiimote vertically. A cranking motion with the nunchuk reels the fish in. If the fish jumps, point the wiimote down to keep the hook properly set. Once the fish is close enough to the boat, land it by pressing A + B.
Fish caught when lure fishing are not recorded in your Fish Journal, but rather put into the fish tank in Hena's shop.
Bait can only be used with the bobber rod.
Bee Larva: Fish love these and you can eat them too!
Found: Ordon Village, use hawk to knock down beehive.
Kakariko Village, use Clawshot to pull down beehive hanging from a tree in the graveyard. Watch out for those stingers!
Hena's Fishing Hole, Upper Zora River. Behind Hena;s house hanging from the back porch
Worms: Fish love these!
Found: Hena's Fishing Hole, Upper Zora River. Transform to wolf Link and dig just behind the sign near the fishing hole entrance. Worms will emerge from the ground. Change back to human Link and scoop one up in an empty bottle.
Ordon Village, Transform into Wolf Link and sense in either of the pumpkin patches. Dig in the sparkling areas and a worm may come out.
Kill one of the bomb-dropping birds in Hyrule Field. They will drop a worm once the remains explode.
The game requires 5 rupees a play and you win 10 rupees for each round, and the frog lure for the eighth. (If you run short before you manage to get the lure, mowing the tall grass just outside (still in the fishing hole area) offers around 60 rupees.)

TACOMA, WA--On a night in which addressing supporters required talking past the chants of protesters, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum tried to energize a mostly conservative crowd Monday night in Tacoma.
Santorum, trying to generate support in the Evergreen State in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, spoke of conservative values and warned that re-electing President Obama would be a setback for America.
But the Pennsylvania Republican's speech became only part of the show, as protesters who had positioned themselves in the crowd before the speech chanted throughout Santorum's address, prompting boos from the rest of the crowd of at least 400 people. Organizers didn't have an exact headcount, but the sea of supporters stretched up and down the steps of the Washington State History Museum's outdoor arena area and was spilling out onto Pacific Avenue.
The chants also left Santorum with no option but to address their shouts, which echoed the chants of the national movement.
"We are the 99 percent," they chanted.
Santorum had to stop a few times throughout his hourlong address.
"What we see is an intolerance of different points of view," said Santorum, who spoke earlier in the day in the state capital of Olympia. "From those who do not want the other side to have a voice. They don't want to hear what the other side has to say."
"All they're interested in is shouting out," he said over the protesters. "Why? Because if they have a reasonable, rational discussion, they can't be successful."
At one point, Tacoma Police handcuffed and escorted at least two protesters out of the lower bowl of the arena area, again prompting cheers from the crowd.
The (Tacoma) News Tribune reported that another person was arrested for showering Santorum with a "glitter bomb."
"Get a job," the crowd yelled to the protesters.
"Show some respect," one person yelled.
Coincidence or not, the city's Occupy Tacoma encampment is located less than a block away from the museum.
After chants died down enough for him to speak, Santorum attacked Obama, as well as his biggest challenger for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney.
Specifically, Santorum linked the president's health care legislation with Romney, a tactic he will likely continue on the campaign trail.
The "Romney health care plan," which the former Massachusetts governor helped implement during his tenure in that state, served as a blueprint for "Obamacare," Santorum said.
With Gov. Christine Gregoire Monday legislation that would allow same-sex marriages in Washington, Santorum touched on conservative hot-button issues such as gay marriage and abortion, arguing that the Constitution "talks about the dignity of human life."
At one point, he called Obama the most divisive president in the country's history and issued a plea to voters.
"The greatness of our country is not our diversity," he said. "The greatness of our country is despite our diversity, we can come together."
Before Santorum arrived, supporters gradually filled the arena area, a few of whom waved signs in support of his run. The museum - which was a former train station - provided a cavernous backdrop.
After the speech, Kirby Wilbur, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, also tried to address the remaining protesters who continued chanting to the end.
"To my mathematically challenged friends in front," he said, referring to their tag of being the "99 percent" of America that's become victim to government and business interests, "Look around you. This is the real America."
The GOP's precinct caucuses are scheduled for March 3 in Washington.

Central Florida's Largest School Supply Giveaway Canceled for Lack of Funds...Maybe
July 25th, 2013 | WMFE - Orlando has been home to the largest school-supply giveaway east of the Mississippi for the past seven years. This year, however, organizers say they had to cancel the event because they weren't able to raise enough money. But members of the all-volunteer group behind the Back to School Bash are still hoping for a last-minute miracle.
group Hope Now International says it has helped more than 50,000
children, with free backpacks full of school supplies, immunizations,
health screenings, and haircuts. This year's Back to School Bash
was scheduled for August 10th at the Amway Center, but Hope Now
founder and president Michael Radka says his group came up short of
the $120,000 needed for the event. He says if any good has come from
being forced to cancel, though, it's the opportunity it created to
clear up some misconceptions.

well done with the world cup unfortunetly it was a dissapointing world cup apart from when africa where still in it towards the end!
wow everyone on the group stage is a draw! MEGA LOL! But south africa get out of the group stage. and the opening ceremony was great,and also
R.I.P Zenani Mandela
R.I.P Zenani Mandela
unlucky on the draw, very well played an I hope the hosts can at least get through this stage in the game!
Such a pity SA didn't win. I was very impressed by my man Teko Modise, as well as by Tshabalala (fearsome strike to score the opener of this WC) and Dikgacoi. Modise should really be playing in Europe. I hope somehow Club Brugge can lay their hands on him.
hmm the group stage. Mexico's performance against italy was stellar, they have a good chance, so do france, and you too, as it is your home nation, its going to be another exciting group stage.

From Staff Reports
Dalton-based Shaw Industries has two new carpet tiles plants in the works — one nearby and the one far away.
Shaw Industries on Thursday announced an $85 million modular carpet tile plant in Bartow County that is expected to create 500 jobs. Officials also said the company will "soon" open a carpet tile factory in China to serve Asia.
"Through the combination of product innovation, design and sustainability, we have grown to become the largest producer of carpet tile in North America," Shaw chairman and CEO Vance Bell said. "We have expanded our existing Cartersville carpet tile facility to its maximum so the Adairsville plant will allow for continued long-term growth in this important product segment. We will also soon open a new carpet tile plant in China to service the Asia market."
Shaw plans to build and equip 600,000 to 700,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space. The plant will be built on 117.6 acres near the intersection of Highway 140 and Hall Station Road. Construction begins in 2014.
"We have a long history in Bartow County," said Shaw director of corporate assets Chuck Dobbins. "The close collaboration with state and local government and economic development officials, the availability of suitable land, the readiness of a diverse talent pool and easy access to transportation hubs were instrumental in our site selection process."
The announcement came through Gov. Nathan Deal's office.
"The steady comeback of the floorcovering industry in North Georgia continues to reflect the resurgence of the global economy," Deal said. "Companies such as Shaw Industries are moving aggressively to meet demand, and Georgia stands ready to equip them with the trained workforce and infrastructure network they need."
As Bartow County's largest employer, Shaw currently operates six facilities in the county, including another carpet tile manufacturing facility in Cartersville. Shaw worked closely with the Cartersville-Bartow County Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), Bartow County, the city of Adairsville, the Development Authority of Bartow County, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and numerous other officials as it explored potential sites and collaborated on a Memorandum of Understanding to accommodate its business growth.
Brittany Holtzclaw, GDEcD project manager, oversaw the project for the state. Georgia Quick Start, the nation's top-ranked workforce training program, will work with Shaw to ensure its employees receive customized training necessary.
"This was a highly competitive opportunity for Bartow County," Bartow County Sole Commissioner Steve Taylor said. "Shaw is not only an employer of choice, but also a great corporate citizen and environmental advocate. We work hard to support the success of our existing industries anyway, but what an honor and a testimony on several levels that the company would consider Adairsville-Bartow County for this new investment."
Shaw has about 15,000 associates in its operations in Georgia.
"We couldn't be more pleased to see this aggressive growth from one of Georgia's top corporate citizens," said Chris Cummiskey, commissioner of the GDEcD. "Shaw has played an important part in establishing Georgia as a global leader in the floorcovering industry." With the approval of the MOU by the Development Authority of Bartow County, Shaw's next steps include continued collaboration with the city, county and state as it proceeds with standard site related due diligence, permitting and other contractual processes.

HOUSTON – The Houston Rockets will wear a green band on their jerseys during the game Tuesday in honor of Coach Kevin McHale's daughter, Alexandra "Sasha" McHale, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The 23-year-old woman passed away on Saturday afternoon. Green was her favorite color.
The Rockets plan to hold a moment of silence before the game against Toronto at the Toyota Center.
McHale took a leave of absence from the team on Nov. 10 to be with his family in Minnesota, the organization said in a press release.
"I extend my deepest condolences to Kevin and Lynn for the loss of their beautiful daughter, Sasha, on Saturday afternoon," Leslie Alexander, owner of Houston Rockets, said in a released statement on Sunday. "Kevin and Lynn are loving and dedicated parents who will need our continued support throughout this very difficult time. Our entire organization is mourning the McHale family's loss and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers."
Assistant coach Kelvin Sampson has been handling the head coaching duties in McHale's absence.
"It should be a law of life that parents should not have to bury their children," Sampson said in an interview Sunday at practice.
The memorial service is planned for Wednesday morning in the Minneapolis area, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Jacquelyn Smith, Forbes Staff
If it has to do with leadership, jobs, or careers, I'm on it.
You may think you have the worst job in America—but are you always on call and facing a deadline, working in a high-stress environment, all for very little pay? Do you routinely work outdoors on the hottest and coldest days of the year? Does your work constantly put you at risk of severe injury or death? If not, you probably don't have one of the worst jobs.
The career guidance website CareerCast.com has evaluated 200 professions across a wide variety of industries, skill levels and salary ranges to determine the best and worst jobs of 2013. To measure each job CareerCast.com used four core criteria: pay, outlook, work environment, and stress. It gathered data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, trade association studies and other sources.
CareerCast.com broke each category into elements and gave each element points. In the final result, a higher point total means a less desirable job, and a lower score reflects a more desirable one.
Thanks to ever-shrinking newsrooms, dwindling budgets, and competition from online news organizations—newspaper reporter ranks as the nation's worst job for 2013.
Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com, says the profession has always been ranked among the worst jobs due to low pay, high levels of stress from working under deadlines, a poor hiring outlook and the requirement to be on duty twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. "But with newspapers cutting back so dramatically, the job actually has a negative growth outlook, meaning there will be fewer newspaper reporters in the future."
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates that the number of traditional print newspapers reporter jobs will decline 6% by 2020. The median salary for these professionals—which is currently a meager $36,000 a year—is also expected to shrink.
Lumberjack is the second worst job of 2013, due to the "hazardous working conditions, a likelihood of breaking or losing a limb on the job, and poor hiring prospects because of low demand for lumber due to less construction," says Lee.
Also known as loggers, lumberjacks typically harvest, cut and transport timber to be processed into lumber, paper and other wood products. Lumberjacks perform strenuous labor in hostile environments, and the work is often intermittent and low-paying. The profession, like others on the list, has a history of high unemployment. Midlevel pay for lumberjacks, which was the worst job of all in 2012, now totals $32,870.
Enlisted military personnel—the most stressful job of 2013, according to CareerCast—ranked as the third worst job this year because "their lives are on the line, daily," Lee says. "They are away from home for long stretches of time and with the draw-down, many are being pushed out of the military even though they want to make it a career." The men and women who volunteer in the Armed Forces are routinely placed in dangerous situations—but the good news is, as the military draws down, fewer soldiers will be needed, Lee says.
Elsewhere on the list of "worst jobs": Actor, oil rig worker, and dairy farmer.
"Earning a living as an actor has become even more difficult as more people enter the field, while the number of professional positions–those that pay–have fallen through the recession," Lee explains.
Oil rig worker, which was the worst job of 2011, is now in the No. 5 spot. They put in long, brutal hours, often isolated from family and friends for weeks at a time.
Meanwhile, No. 6 dairy farmer ranked so poorly because these professionals are required to "work outdoors in all weather conditions, at all hours, with very large animals that step on their feet and break limbs," Lee says. "Plus, they compete with corporate dairy producers so earnings are down."
Most professions on the worst jobs list do not require a high school diploma–whereas a college degree or advanced training is necessary for nearly all of the top-rated jobs.
Many of the best jobs for 2013 also require proficiency in science, math or technology, and most aren't dangerous, physically demanding, or highly stressful, according to CareerCast.
No job is hard if you persevere or if you have the drive.
That is patently absurd. Go be a lumberjack on a 90 degree day and then come back and tell me this again. Where do perseverance and drive get you? Onto the next damn tree to cut down. I'm guessing you've never worked a job that requires unskilled manual labor.
Kaitlyn. if you think Martin`s st0ry is really great… last wednesday I got a top of the range GMC after earning $9841 this – 5 weeks past and just a little over ten-k this past-month. without a doubt its the best work I've ever done. I began this seven months/ago and right away was bringing in over $79, per/hr. I went to this site,
>>>> ℬIG76 ℂℴℳ
"These and many others on the worst jobs list do not require a high school diploma"
False. Being an enlisted member in the U.S. military requires AT LEAST a high school diploma. Today's military is NOT the military of the 1950′s, or even the 1990′s. Many enlisted members today have at least some college, and some already have their bachelor's degrees.
We love our reporters – thank you for all you do!!
With the onset of everyone publishing their own content via blogs, social media and content marketing – and creating viral news that is fake or without merit – having journalists creating authentic, validated, ethical content is more important than ever.
Stand fast! We need you!
Samantha. I can see what your saying… Leroy`s remark is impossible… I just purchased a great Honda NSX from earning $8465 this past four weeks and just over 10-k last-month. this is really my favourite-work Ive had. I started this 10-months ago and immediately startad bringin in minimum $84… p/h. I went to this site,, kep2.comCHECK IT OUT
Perhaps the worst job is doing nothing because being unemployed. A political economy who thinks just in money but not in the individual allows high ciphers of unemployment just because the debt to financial banks. The base of the problem, I think is that we have allowed too much to banks, there must be any state regulation as in the 1929 depression.By the way in America there could be better or worse Jobs but in Europe , in countries like Greece or Spain a job is really welcome, as when one is unemployed and do nothing can adopt the position of depression or that of reinventing oneself. I would prefer reinventing because of the imagination and self investing that carries out.

In my personal opinion, software engineer takes it. Actuary may be the top job in the short run, but in the long run we're moving towards a digital world. I recently read an article discussing the career potential of software development in the healthcare industry (http://www.jobs.net/Article/CB-79-Talent-Network-IT-Software-Developer-Top-In-Demand-Job-in-2013/). Considering the growth of healthcare as a result of aging baby boomers, as well as the remaining growth potential of tech within that industry, that seems to me like the mother load. In 3 years, software engineer will be #1 on this list.

Clarkstown Town Board members and residents heard the most recent presentation on the plans for the new Tappan Zee Bridge at Tuesday night's town board meeting. Their line of questioning concerned the lifespan of the new bridge, higher tolls and the financing plan for the new span.
Brian Conybeare, the governor's special advisor for the "New New York Bridge," told the 20 or so people in attendance that the presentation they received had been updated within the past week. He reviewed the process for selecting the contractor; described features of the bridge discussed the creation of a Rockland Outreach Center in Nyack and schedule for the start of work on the bridge.
One resident asked about plans to shift all traffic off the current bridge to the northern span when it is completed in 2016. Conybeare told him the northern span would be wider than the existing bridge at 96 feet.
"It will be wider and smoother than the current Tappan Zee Bridge," said Conybeare.
Councilwoman Stephanie Hausner wanted to know why the new construction was given a 100-year lifetime when many existing bridges are a lot older than that and still in relatively good condition.
Conybeare noted the bridge is actually expected to be in use for 100 years without major structural repairs. It will require regular maintenance but nothing along the lines of the major repair work the Tappan Zee Bridge has undergone in recent years. It could last 150 or more years.
"The engineers have told me it will last a minimum of 150 years," he said.
When someone asked if the toll was actually going to be $14 as widely speculated, Conybeare replied the price of the toll will depend upon how much money the state gets from U.S. Department of Transportation for the bridge. The state has applied for up to $2 billion in a long term, low interest loan from the federal government's Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA).
"The more money we get out of that TIFIA program the lower the tolls will be," said Conybeare.
He said the state hopes to find out soon how much money it will receive but could not provide a date. However, he said no final determination has been made regarding any interim toll hike. Gov. Cuomo has called for a Toll Financing Task Force which will review the toll issue as one of its responsiblities. The Task Force will be created in the next few months.
When Orrin Getz of New City asked about a financial plan for the bridge and when that would be finalized, Conybeare said that also was dependent upon the amount of the TIFIA loan.
Nyack Village Trustee Marie Lorenzini inquired about how the plans would assure that traffic would move "cleaner and swifter" than it does now. Conybeare said there will be four lanes for vehicles to move onto and off the bridge and that a truck-climbing lane was being investigated.

Wunderlist is $5/month? Really? $60/year is too much for the pro version of this app. Remember The Milk provides better features for less per year. Omnifocus provides more features for a pricey one time payment up front but has no ongoing costs.
Wunderlist free - it does a great job. Wunderlist Pro - wrong pricing structure for this app.

In the Information Age, no skills are more valuable than reading and writing. This explains recent employment studies which show growing corporate demand for graduates of English studies programs. Careers in technical writing and teaching English are particularly high-growth areas.
The Department of English features diverse course offerings, a lively community of English majors and minors, nationally recognized graduate programs, and outstanding professors. Please visit our faculty, news, organizations, and programs pages to learn more about who we are and what we do.
A focus on language in public life is a hallmark of IUP's English degree programs.
Last spring, a poem by IUP English major Clare Welsh was selected and performed as a gift from IUP graduate and undergraduate students to help mark the inauguration of President Michael A. Driscoll. Ms. Welsh's poem, "The Last Wall," is an outstanding example of writing that enriches such events by sounding their deepest themes.

Clinton Gilbert Abbott (1881 - 1946)
Related Links
Notable People & Events
Clinton Gilbert Abbott, Director of the San Diego Natural History Museum from 1922 until his death in 1946, saw the Museum through times of great hardship as well as growth. From the rapid ascent of the San Diego Society of Natural History during the 1920s, to the doldrums of the Depression during the 1930s, Abbott supervised the construction of the Museum's current building, arranged numerous field trips for his research staff, and was involved in a number of conservancy issues. The 1940s would see a different challenge arise as the war effort dictated the building be converted into a naval hospital. Regardless of these hardships, Abbott stayed the course, leading the Museum into a new era of prosperity during the 1950s.
Early Years
Conservation Work
Already known for his conservation work in New York, Abbott placed the Museum on a similar path. Expressing his concerns about the role of conservancy in Mexico, he stressed the need for continued research expeditions into the country hoping for "incalculable accomplishments" in furthering the study of the natural history of the area.
Museum Changes
As the 1930s progressed, funding problems were alleviated by an increasing number of WPA (Works Project Administration) workers roaming the halls at the Museum, courtesy of the federal government's New Deal plan. In the middle of the decade, though, Abbott was waylaid by poor health. Spending long nights dictating letters to his longtime secretary, Lillian Buss, during his six month hospital stay, Abbott maintained his connection to the Museum. The close of the decade would bring him a brief respite from ill health, and also his last major involvement in the conservation issue of sea lion slaughter. Yet, by 1940 Laurence Huey had to step briefly into Abbott's position during another illness.
Abbott, unfortunately, was unable to see the reconstruction of the Museum. Still squabbling with the federal government over funding, Abbott passed away on March 6, 1946. Lillian Buss retired soon afterwards, with Laurence Huey again replacing Abbott on an interim basis. The following year, Colonel Arthur Fischer became the new permanent director of the Museum, a position he held from 1947 until 1955.

Honda CR-V vs Hyundai Santa Fe
bokonon3 Posts: 20We've had good luck with the reliability of our 2007 Santa Fe (which is an early production model - one of the first run of production out of the US plant. We took a gamble).
The only problem we had in 35K miles is a faulty airbag sensor on the passenger side ... which Hyundai replaced. There is also an annoying issue with the black paint on the grille being vulnerable to stone chips ... which we get a lot here in Colorado. And I upgraded the stock stereo speakers, which were only adequate. But everything else has been great. It is a highly competent, robust, well engineered car. Or quasi SUV. Whatever the heck it is.
We were reminded of its good qualities when we took the Santa Fe up into the Rocky Mountains for a weekend of skiing. It charged up the steep hills and down the twisty roads, and never ran out of power or lost its composure - even on the steepest grades or on icy roads. And it has terrific brakes. Really, really good brakes. Being able to manually shift the automatic transmission is a great feature as well. Our car has the 3.5 liter V6, and we averaged 24 mpg overall for the trip.
My other car is a generation 7 Honda Accord - which has been a pretty good car, except for the usual symphony of interior rattles that those cars suffer (including a snare drum-like noise from the rear package shelf that drives me nuts). I switch back and forth between the Hyundai's controls and the Honda's all the time - and both have their benefits and weaknesses. I prefer the Honda's radio controls, and prefer the Hyundai's HVAC controls (which are bog simple).
Does your rental have the 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine?
ecotrklvr Posts: 519My rental was 4-cyl AWD Model. It had 16k miles, and was solid - no squeaks or rattles. Very impressive for a rental car.
As far as power is concerned, I had 4 good-size guy in there most of the week, and it had no problem cruising at 75 mph on LA area freeways. Biggest guy was me - 275 - smallest was 175. Sure, it downshifted going up hills (like the 241 Tollway from the 91 to South County), but the engine remained smooth all the way up. Thanks to the 6 speeds in the Auto....
I just read an interesting post on the Borg-Warner AWD system. Their ITM 3e uses the same technology as they supply to Porsche. Not sure I need it here, but reviews on other sites are positive. Just my $0.02.
marig0107 Posts: 92thanks for the laugh. Don't think I'm at stodgy yet, but it's fast approaching. Hey, it's a nice enough car, just not what I was used to, and I tend to imprint with cars so if it wasn't second nature right away, it didn't give me warm and fuzzies. Still a good ride, but happy to be back in mine! Well learning mine anyway. The whole blue tooth thing threw me. :shades:
shelly2988 Posts: 1Hello,
I am a new driver and this is my first car. I am IN LOVE with the 2008 Pilot however want to start off "small" before I get to it! I have been interested in the Honda CRV 2000-2005 but have been recently introduced to the Hyundai Santa Fe. I must say I am interested in the Santa Fe as well. Honda's are great cars and want to make sure I am getting the same great quality if not better in the Santa Fe. Any suggestions on model, make, style? I also would like some help in determining things such as engine, wheels, the whole nine yards!

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — A discussion on immigration is scheduled for tonight at Streeters Center with conservative documentary filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch.
Lynch's two recent films include "They Come to America: The Cost of Illegal Immigration 2012" and "They Come to America II: The Cost of Amnesty 2013." Both are popular with grass roots organizations and conservative talk radio hosts.
Lynch's work has caught the attention on U.S. Rep. Steven King (R-Iowa), who recently invited Lynch to testify in upcoming Congressional hearings. King, often described as an immigration "hardliner," opposes a path to citizenship for the country's estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants and supports building a wall on the Mexico border.
Lynch, a former entrepreneur, has appeared numerous times on various Fox news programs including, the O'Reilly Factor and Fox & Friends. Sean Hannity recently recorded a one-hour special with Dennis to discuss his films and the immigration reform bill.
The event is free and will be filmed. It begins at 6:30 p.m. at Streeters Center, 1669 S. Garfield Avenue.

Theme of Workshop:
Magnetic activity in a star like the Sun gives rise to dark spots, bright flares, mass ejections, dramatically enhanced radiation (from the radio to the EUV and X-ray), and copious production of highly accelerated particles, all of which are caused by fields generated in the star's interior. The course will cover the interaction between convection, rotation and magnetic fields in solar-type stars with deep outer convection zones. The aim will be to confront theory with observations. This is timely because new observations (from space and from the ground) are revealing fine details of surface features, while helio- and astero- seismology provide a means of probing stars' internal structure. Meanwhile, theoretical models are becoming more realistic and sophisticated, and the availability of ever more powerful computers has at last made it feasible to model nonlinear processes in sufficient detail. These results are explained by reference to precise mathematical models, describing the essential processes that are involved, and there is a strong overlap with nonlinear dynamics, including bifurcation theory and pattern formation.
The programme will contain lectures by leading figures that will cover a full range of theoretical topics, including solar magnetic fields, stellar activity, helioseismology and asteroseismology, protostellar activity, brown dwarfs, magnetoconvection, magnetoturbulence, shear and differential rotation, dynamos, stellar magnetic activity, cycles and grand minima, together with a survey of relevant observations and experiments.
There will also be opportunities for further shorter presentations.
Invited speakers:
Fausto Cattaneo (Chicago), Andrew Collier Cameron (St Andrews), Stephan Fauve (Paris), Gary Glatzmaier (Santa Cruz),Douglas Gough (Cambridge), Lee Hartmann (CfA), Keith Moffatt (Cambridge), Michael Proctor (Cambridge), Robert Rosner (Chicago), *Göran Scharmer (Stockholm), Jack Thomas (Rochester), Michael Thompson (London/Sheffield), Alan Title (LMSAL), Steve Tobias (Leeds).
(* = to be confirmed)
Location and Cost:
The EuroConference will take place at the Newton Institute and accommodation for participants will be provided in single study bedrooms with shared bathroom at Wolfson Court. The conference package, costing £850, includes accommodation, breakfast and dinner from dinner on Sunday 5 September to breakfast on Saturday 18 September 2004, and lunch and refreshments during the days that lectures take place.

40-B Silas Deane Highway, Wethersfield, (860) 436-9794
The restaurant business is a tough one. In their first year, new restaurants routinely face a stiff challenge winning over fickle customers. And getting the word out without a big promotional budget only compounds the difficulty. That's why one can only hope for success for a little restaurant like Milagros in Wethersfield, a tiny place that's clearly a labor of love for the woman who runs it.
Milagros opened at the end of last summer. It's small, with only three tables, and a little counter with a few seats inside. The sign says "Spanish restaurant," but you won't find any paella on the menu.
The inside is cozy, with a chalk-board wall filled with descriptions. A few paintings casually establish a rooster theme. There's a cooler of drinks for self-service.
The food is more Caribbean with a Cuban and Puerto Rican focus. It's hearty comfort food, with plenty of rice and beans, fried plantains, and slow-cooked meats. Mofongo (mashed plantains), papa rellena (stuffed potatoes) and beef patties can all be had for starters. Milagros also serves tacos and burritos (shrimp, pork, beef, chicken, vegetarian and more). There's BBQ chicken and pork. There's cube steak and pork chops. And stews too.
This is the kind of restaurant where the owner/chef comes out to give you the remote control to change the channels on the TV while you're waiting. If you sneeze, she calls out "bless you" from the kitchen. The music consists of the tunes she cranks up in the kitchen while she's cooking. You basically feel like you're at your friend's house. That, to me, is a good thing.
An order of pernil (slow-roasted pork shoulder) was juicy and simple, served next to a mound of rice and beans, with a side of fried sweet plantains ($8). There is nothing especially fancy about this, but it's good, in a simple satisfying way. And it's very affordable. I splashed some hot sauce all over the pork and wolfed it down. If you're not familiar with it, you might find the pernil to have a little more fat than expected, but that's what makes it tender and juicy.
When I was about to get up and pay the check, the chef popped out from behind the counter with a small plate of flan cake (just like what it sounds), on the house. Make yourself at home, sit a little while, she seemed to be saying. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood, give this worthy little place some well-deserved business.

Rosie the Riveter WWII / Home Front National Historical Park
The World War II Home Front is a significant chapter in Americas history. Fully engaged in winning World War II, American women, minorities, and men worked toward a common goal in a manner that has been unequaled since. Women, who worked in defense industries, became known as "Rosie the Riveters", named after a popular song written in 1942, and had sweeping and lasting impacts.
Richmond, California played a significant and nationally recognized part in the World War II Home Front. The four Richmond shipyards, with their combined 27 shipways, produced 747 ships, more than any other shipyard complex in the country. Richmond was home to 56 different war industries, more than any other city of its size in the United States. The city grew nearly overnight from 24,000 people to 100,000 people, overwhelming the available housing stock, roads, schools, businesses and community services.

If you're looking for a place to hunt trophy whitetail deer, turkey, hog or even coyote, we've got you covered. We are a family-owned farm located in central Alabama and we have been managing for wildlife since my grandfather bought the place, back in 1943.
We believe that hunting should be relaxing and enjoyable. We try to provide everyone with an opportunity to take game if they choose. If you happen not to bag a trophy, we sincerely hope that you still have a good time. We will do everything within our power to make sure that happens.
Peyton Langford
This is Mike. He has been guiding with us for a long time now. I don't even remember how many years. You would think that by now that he wouldn't be scared of whatever was inside of this deer.
Me and Mike can really cover some ground with this little deer cart. We had to haul this deer across a creek and about 200 yards up a huge hill. It was a piece of cake for us young folks. See how fast we were going.
It's absolutely terrible to get old!
You ever heard that joke about how many people does it take to change a light bulb? It took all four of us to put up some of these "pop-ups" and we probably still needed some technical advice. We really needed some more help when we got ready to fold them back up and put them back in the bags.

National Political Conventions Offer Teachable Moments for High School Students
Teachers use the 2012 election season to help students become informed citizens.
Delegates, politicians, and journalists swarmed Tampa this week for the Republican National Convention. Next week, Democrats will follow suit in Charlotte, N.C.
While the conventions each have their fair share of flair—think balloons, confetti, and after parties—they also deal with some serious business as well.
Each party uses its convention to officially establish its political platform and nominate its respective candidates for U.S. president and vice president.
[Get full coverage of the 2012 election.]
The conventions—and election season as a whole—provide ample opportunity for high school teachers to engage their students in the political process.
"When you get a moment like an election season, it's a time when a lot of the issues rise to the surface," says Susan Graseck, director of the Choices for the 21st Century Education program. "Students are going to be seeing it, hearing it, and not really understanding it."
The Choices program is an education initiative that provides curriculum, teaching resources, and professional development opportunities to help educators teach important events—including "Teaching with the News," a free tool to help classrooms follow the U.S. presidential election.
Using the conventions as a springboard to deconstruct where each party stands on political issues can help students make sense of the political rhetoric, says Jeff Silva-Brown, who teaches government and economics at Ukiah High School in California.
"They are less informed than you might think with all this massive amount of information," he says. "This is a generation that is apathetic because they don't feel like their voices matter."
Breaking down policy and political issues to the state, local, and even school level helps make it relevant to students, says Silva-Brown, who also ties in fundamental economic principles so students learn to consider how policy impacts the economy.
Simply showing a speech or a debate isn't enough to engage students either, says Kevin Conlon, a high school social studies teacher at Francis W. Parker School in Chicago who uses class time to hold mock debates and have students analyze political speeches.
"As a teacher, I feel that it's even more important to have a discussion so that kids aren't going to put a [campaign] badge on because it's cool," he says. "They actually connect to the candidates and have the ability to have a discussion about ideas."
[Find out how students performed on the national civics test.]
Teaching students to analyze and debate issues helps shape them into better citizens, Conlon says.
"Citizenship involves thinking skills—assessing what your own values are, what's important to you, and how does what the candidate says correspond to you."

What currently constitutes a small business varies widely around the world. Small businesses were typically privately owned corporations, partnerships or sole proprietorships. However, in today's evolving business world at break-neck paces, more and more people are finding themselves in hybrid work situations that now also could be considered "small business" from some viewpoints.
Donna Babbitt, chair of Business, Accounting and Social Sciences at St. Louis Community College-Wildwood, said the traditional principles of small business owners—agility, operating lean, anticipating next steps, reacting quickly and proactively adopting change—are extremely helpful business approaches, no matter what size of company in which one is operating.
"One way to analyze small businesses is to determine how they are structured: as a corporation, LLC or sole proprietorship. You then can add whether a business is local or regionally based," said Babbitt.
What constitutes "small" in terms of government support and tax policy varies by country and by industry, ranging from:
- fewer than 15 employees under the Australian Fair Work Act 2009,
- 50 employees according to the definition used by the European Union,
- fewer than 500 employees to qualify for many U.S. Small Business Administration programs.
Small businesses also can be classified according to other methods, such as sales, assets, or net profits. And how should franchise owners be classified? They may not have many employees, but they often are plugging into large, worldwide brands, services and ready-made tools, such as McDonald's—which is not the same as a "mom and pop" operation built from scratch.
Babbitt said a general rule of thumb used in business and in college courses is 50 employees or less constitutes small. "But in today's business climate, it's a bit of a moving target. We have adult students who are small business owners or contractors, and they are finding themselves in a broad range of work arrangements that sometimes could be defined as small business during certain phases of projects, and other times large."
Babbitt cites small retail stores with only 20 employees but millions of dollars in revenue as an example of another type of blended definition. "I would say there's middle-sized and large-sized operations within small businesses."
"No matter the operating size of a company, it seems more and more business managers are having to think like small business owners always have. Where's the revenue stream coming from? What expenses are there? How can I pay for healthcare costs? How will I finance everything? From where will our paychecks come?" said Babbitt.
Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses nationwide. This year, that day will be observed on Nov. 24. Last year, more than 100 million people came together to Shop Small in their communities on Small Business Saturday.
Editor's Note: What are your favorite, local small businesses? Share them in the comments' section of this article so we can plan to speak with them and feature them in the coming month.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
A Laurel couple charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl are set for sentencing in December.
Dustin Brummett, 26, and his wife, 38-year-old Charlene Brummett, both of 1600 Laurel River Road in London, entered guilty pleas to the sexual abuse of a 17-year-old girl that occurred on several occasions between June 1 and Oct. 26 of last year.
Dustin Brummett pled guilty to two counts of third-degree sodomy and one count of incest in the case, as well as one count of distribution of obscene material to a minor. He was recommended to serve a total of 20 years in prison and is set for sentencing on Dec. 20 in Laurel Circuit Court.
Charlene Brummett was recommended to serve six years in prison on two counts of third-degree complicity to commit sodomy, with those two sentences running consecutively, or one after the other. She is also set for sentencing on Dec. 20.
The pleas were entered before Laurel Circuit Judge Tom Jensen on Oct. 3. The Brummetts were originally named in a 15-count indictment in December of last year after it was discovered the couple were forcing a 17-year-old to have sexual relations with Dustin Brummett.
Dustin Brummett was facing four counts of first-degree rape, two counts of third-degree sodomy, one count of incest, and one count of distributing obscene material to a minor. The rape charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 to 20 years each, while the sodomy charge is a 1 to 5 year sentence. Incest has somewhat harsher penalties, with a 10 to 20 year maximum sentence. Distribution of obscene material to a minor has a 12 month sentence with up to $500 fine.
Charlene Brummett was indicted on four counts of first-degree complicity to commit rape, two counts of complicity to commit third-degree sodomy, and one count of complicity to commit incest. She also could have faced extensive prison time, with the complicity charges on rape carrying a 10 to 20 year sentence, a 10 to 20 year sentence for the complicity to commit incest and a 1 to 5 year sentence for the conspiracy to commit sodomy.
