>> Now that the ruthless hacking of this site, www.theprospector.com, two years ago has been proven to be anoynmyous cybercriminals hired by financial competitors who did not like my editorials, all I can really do to recover my 60-years tarnished image of telling the truth in print is to try to meet the traditional needs of my Internet readership since 1992.
How? With with an up-to-date way to slow down copyright theft of sensitive HTML material for outright spoofing and phishing misdirection. With secured Adobe Acrobat PDFs for on-screen reading or downloading. A contact e-mail address at the end of an information article at least slows down Spam address harvesting.
What is needed right now is a start-up, green, underground mining company ECO-Mining-Milling to present a US Forest Service "Plan of Action" that observes environmental wisdom that really makes sustainable sense.
Help our industry become great again by protesting "pump and dump" promoters using the USFS as an excuse why their "can't loose" gold mine went bankrupt. So sad.
>> Question? How do those in charge of candy stores deflate the value of rock solid mineral gob-stoppers that meet the basic needs of a society whose fiat money is a currency that the government has declared to be legal tender — that is not backed by any physical wealth of the Earth commodity? As Minerals we need to survive in a time where accredited investors have unfortunately been drawn into the insanity of a pseudo-think tank bubble head philosophy of the alchemy of spinning dross into a ill-conceived replacement of cloud-based electronic credits vs: the physical reality of a positive P/L statement.
Take gold for as one shining dictionary example of pump and dump debasement. AU was the stuff a ruler had to physically have in his counting house to afford to wage war. As Lincoln [R] did, using a leveraged "greenback dollar" to prevail over the paper value of the English controlled "black gold slave standard!" in the First American Civil War. Also, as a fellow politician, FDR [D], did with his executive orders in WW2 to confiscate gold supposedly in support of patriotism. Something I understand very well for having lived through rationing as partially explained in the revised re-release of my World War II mystery novel involving Japanese gold through an independent www.BannerBooks.com as www.Code-YellowChrysanthemum.com.
It is called the DUH theory on account of those who "Don't Understand History" will pay the price for OMG compounding the leveraged derivatives credit default swap hedge fund bubble platform traded failure. I would guess that many of the readers of TheProspector, one of the oldest independent websites on-line … predating the World Wide Web via a secure university to university Fido "defense" network… were not even born when I started my wailing and whinnying that the Information Highway being detoured by disinformation to the global village of "Hu Du U-Belive."
I also hope that those net citizens of named generations appreciate that the "Silent Creativities" lost between "The Greatest", and "The Baby Bloomers, et al" … preoccupied in early childhood by traumatized by the Great Depression (there was nothing great about it) and the strict food, communications, and transportation rationing we experienced during The War 2 end all Wars. Which has become an "yet again" euphonious "WW3" seq-way to a Free Trade, Uncensored Free Speech For for All Destruction, that perhaps will go down in history books as the Last?
A self serving Congress that before the Dot Com Bubble days already enjoyed a USPS free franking mailing of their newsletters. So why did they block the "wire fraud" checks and balances U.S. Postal Inspector control of doing away with a magazine and newsletter publisher's required masthead of Who, Why, Where, and When that has masked the wholesale free trading away of the Information Highway, that we with the help of Global Warming Al Gore [pronounced algorithm] invented.
Remember also that Bob Dole, a 10th Mountain Division war hero who understood the value of not publicly publishing classified, and above Top Secret information, had held to the established standard that the FCC was in control of licensees using of public airwaves. This is why local TV stations paid attention to retaining their license (something Lady Bird Johnson had used to build their family fortune) that required the declaration of what was then accepted standard of Journalism, separated from editorial opinion", separated from SEC approved when clearly identified as FTC approved truth-in-advertising as, "come on down to Billy Bob's famous for "Individually Previously Owned" car lot huckster-ism.
I thought I was winning my personal computer hack attack until the cyber war lobbed a bombshell in last week that revealed that it perhaps wasn't our government fighting off Russia, the Ukraine, China, Australia, but some multi-national businesses somehow are using totally unfair trade practices to kill their eye-ball to eye-ball competition. You have heard recent reports on boardroom to boardroom battles. Since I cannot afford to hire a floor full of lawyers, and full time IT specialists, do your own due diligence before investing in any long term mining stock that doesn't have a solid asset base underneath that can produce a viable, explainable, provable P/L statement. Remember that the "resource rich " Enron stole more with their trading nothing back and forth than Maddox did with his promised Ponzi 20% trading.
This last week, just when I thought "TheProspector" had cleared itself of foreign search engine links leading to a phished and spoofing misdirection, I decided to add another URL into my layers of defense. And wanting to run a quality check on Bob Parson's GoDaddy, I fell for a number one rating on a ? site, to sign up for a bargain backup URL with what appeared to be an American connection. The next morning there was a foreign credit card charge inflated by a Wells Fargo MBA stagecoach style of rough-riding over what really should be TQM respected customers. Not enough dollars to really worry about until I double-checked on a WhoIs, and found that what I had actually paid for was owned, with a "do not transfer clause protection", by a Mr. 'Anonymous' in Asia with my ISP numbers I already documented by flagged screen dump years ago. I got through to them. They promised to credit back my credit card charges that had taken all of 2 minutes (?) to transact, within a week.
Two months after trying to get my bank to do a chargeback for fraud, nothing has changed except I was issued a new card. The other wasting my writing time finding was that either the massive hack attack on big U.S. businesses (which I am not) last week, or a retaliation for daring to speak the truth resulted in a "man in the middle" attack where my web logs recording that I had eliminated a large number of unasked for links, had exploded. Five hundred links from some very sexually foreign sick sights showed up to to black-hat my 60+ years reputation for being a straight shooter with a .44 caliber Super Black-hawk bear gun. So, "Dear Reader", as a proper silver Brexit toff victim would say, beware of:
1) Leaving your machine's power connected Wi-Fi on when not actually on the Internet.
As my accidental "one man publishing empire" that really came out of "TheProspector", logically following a web ring route to just wanting to do a no finder's fee E-Harmony sort of connection between mining claim holder's and bona fide claim buyers through MiningMagazines.com triggered an unjustified response of character assignation ... proving my speculation was correct... I think it is time to reprise this 2013 prediction by bringing it out of an underground zone of weakness that have always been a prospector's target. Unfortunately, today, as this piece is a proper magazine article, presented as validation of the publishing principle that editorial commentary and "pump and dump" stock promotions do not mix fairly, may only produce a big yawn from lazy investors trusting "no load" brokers to do their due diligence homework. The logical keyword phrases to consider here are,
A) If gold is considered to be real money...
B) Then why trade paper dollar certificates for ETF derivate certificates...
C) Instead of buying wealth in a form that can be stored on a photovoltiac roof top, that doesn't wear out, while producing a net zero energy return, instead of reinvesting in negative zero bonds for wealth storage.
Since anonymous financial terrorist critics have slandered MiningMagazines.com on a "dark web" that sends out creepy crawler bots for the benefit of foreign search engines supporting the free, and favored nations, giveaway of US natural resources, and the employment opportunities ... including financial industry jobs... that really are the birthright of Americans who paid a personal price for freedom, I am struggling to stand up to the tyrannical misdirection of your personal reading /viewing rights.
I have experienced enough first hand in the field research to work on a documentary book dealing with the Death of the Internet, through disinformation through the stupidity of broadcast cub reporters ( working towards becoming a TV annalist?) breaking news on something that they know nothing about, at six. Or worse, being innocently duped into spreading malware through a nasty web ring of copyright information suckers. Something we are trying to fight through our switch to locked Adobe Acrobat PDF delivery, with no open back door pages.
But, on the other hand, we have the smoke and mirrors wild card of Bill Clinton (The First) tainting his wife's beef futures reputation further by being the force that did away with the Glass-Stegial Act, promulgated out of the Depression to control banking, that both Senators Barney Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren have been fighting to bring back as a checks and balance control over worthless paper stocks (OMG no e.g. ETF no P/L statement possible) that once again will prove that Mother Nature's hard asset sugar bowl is indeed the "bank" really too big to fail. So, since I for once, as a mainstream Scots-Irish-Native American hillbilly with a prospecting DNA family of Revolutionary War Vets ... Alamance, Cowpens, Kings Mountain, and again in the Second Revolutionary War we won by kicking butt at New Orleans... seem to be recognized as a "what the hell is going on undecided and disgruntle voter" perhaps a good Samaritan fellow traveler might suggest a suitable write-in candidates name? How about sending a frugal Celtic Adam Smith to Washington, D.C.?
However, when the question is, "Why are some of my forward looking mining stocks doing so well, when actual producing gold properties are going bankrupt?" my being born in 1939 ; and experiencing WW2 rationing points; and buying War Bonds ; Truman's OPA [Office of Price Administration]; and the 1950's OME [Office of Minerals Exploration] in support of minerals stockpiles needed for national defense ... well guess what, I do have an almost geologically slow moving time-line awareness of what is happening today with flash trading.
This think piece, presented in PDF format, was done in 2010 trying to explain the unexplainable of supply not logically following demand for a "rock solid" precious mineral needed for building out solar roofs as Tesla just announced.
Again... what is going on with the financial side manipulations of silver, versus the supply side of photovoltiac galena? This download wasn't appreciated as a $1 pay pal download. I don't have any silver to sell to go with a nepheline syenite thin film smart roof right now, so have at it... without stealing my thinking to promote your stock venture... for free!
Add to that, I am one of the few small mining supply side business operators (concentrating on finding AU, AG, ZN, CU; surviving through the peoples Mining Law of 1872 trumping SEC bankers regulations) which OMG is not the same for FBO, ETF swing trading, TSX pump and dump deal, and the LPB of Limited Purpose Banking, recycled from the London Prime Bank financial engines that pioneered platform trades returning a French "slice", or tranche, or the issue of bonds (zero interest) derived from a pooling of like obligations as mortgage debt. "Ah so", from this guru to lotus-eater investors.
Perhaps you need to do your own due diligence defining if operating gold and silver mines go broke for real, or if it was just a simple way to get rid of "dissident" share holders who didn't understand that the absolutely worst thing which could happen to a supposedly valid mineral prospect controlled by absentee owners, is to actually "make gold" that doesn't come anywhere near the Promised Ponzi ROI payday.
You will have to spend some time reading documentation to get anything from this free information that in the past has only lead to my www.MiningMagazines.com business that grew out being spoofed, and phished for misdirection to an anonymous list of 400+ legal (?) misdirection links most from the Ukraine, Russia, China, and un-pingable changing USA addresses in New York, no wait, Chicago, nope, make that LA, Zip OU812. So hello artificial intelligence challenged spam harvesters. You may find that the "sensitive" information from my old fashioned philosophy from the beginning days of the Information Age, is that only full disclosure information in the World Wide Webs' largest library will sell. This used to be called doing your homework.
And this is why we have switched to presenting qualified projects and properties in locked against any harvested copyright changes in Adobe Acrobat PDFs delivered from a virus free secured server. They may take a little bandwidth to download, but perhaps well worth your time to reach a hidden e-mail address and phone number. For now, know there is a required readjustment in altitude coming for some high flying speculators of the London Metals Exchange [LME] and [LIBOR] multinational banking thinking, now being crushed under a Brexit of leveraged casino capitalism. As was the anonymous "Brit English" blog accounting system for BitCoins that was "hacked" at the same time to "accidentally loose" a third of it's value overnight. Unfortunately the only "band aid" to live through a death by derivatives devaluation is printing even more credit default swap debased currency that has absolutely nothing to do with the real values of a "creator's gift" of the wealth of the Earth that we all need to survive. Thanks old chap for crossing one London bridge too far. It truly is falling down, and millions will drown underwater on the changing tide of deception.
This MiningInvestment101-1.pdf think piece, written by an qualified geologist victim of the TSX's 43-101 "in Canadian interests" certification free trade discrimination against American professionals hired to perform an independent third party examination of a US property.
As I, as respected WesternMiner.com "colleague" had many friends in Western Canada before the "exploration Junior market" and it's well respected Vancouver Stock Exchange was attacked, and closed down by the TSX because a London based geologist, working in Asia, violated the trust that sealed bags of samples sent in for assay results to plug into spreadsheet calculations of reserves.
This alleged scenario of securities violations follows what happen to "miner's exchanges" in the US West... close enough to do actual due diligence... that were we closed in San Francisco, Denver, Spokane, and the even smaller mining boards in smaller towns as Tonopah, Beatty, and Virginia City, Nevada,?
Yes, default on manipulated values is coming. It also truly is all not Europe's fault. Our Chicago based futures market afflicted pork bellies smoked for food safety storage preservation, have turned bacon into a luxury food item. By driving those despised Mid-West swine herders into bankruptcy using NYSE approved bear and bull market flash traded tactics, into a venue where only the hogs win, they are proving again you are what you consume in mass quantities.
Further West, where winter wheat harvests suffered abuse by big multinational corporate gmo-yo-yo manipulations devastated the economies of the Pacific Northwest, that soon became Bernie Sanders / Elizabeth Warren / Glass-Steagall Act reinstatement fans calling for a defense from the "flipping us off" without a care one percent.
Todays minority moneyed class seems to have forgotten the DUH principle of "Don't Understand History" by kicking the can down Easy Economic Avenue to a fork in the road decision of sensible, though painful Recovery, or a National Socialist German Workers' Party style chaos of fighting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Forget about thinking of extremest far right, or far left, for if the hard line was bent into a compromise circle they both would meet at the top where 10% would rule a totalitarian world.
As with the mobs ruled in the French "let them eat cake" revolution. And, the non-Soviet Russian Revolution of 1905. And, the anti-Wall Street movement mobs that harassed market maker and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Securities Industry Association, Bernard Madoff, trying to sneak back into the sanctuary of his luxury condo tower/prison to console a wife who had been forced to ride the subway for a news photo "apology" opportunity.
It also should be noted, as the securities industry press likes to forget is that Madoff, perhaps because he and accomplices only stole $65 billion, was also a NASDAQ Chairman, and more importantly to this piece, was a Founding Board Member of the International Securities Clearing Corporation, in London
And then there are the DUH politicians who somehow think greatness in government is the opportunity to repeat the First Great Depression mistakes, by repealing the Glass-Steagall Banking Acts of 1933 to bring back TARP tactics that only rewarded illegal "inside traders" of only five mortgage money sources(?), and ironically enough(?) the London offices of the so called "American Insurance Group" that received such lovely bonus payment cheques direct from the US Taxpayer.
Which again brings us back to Brexit London, where I hope some of the flaming twits mucking up the world economy are being drawn and quartered, times X, in the collapse of the value of what used to be a full weight measured pound of a sterling POUND of silver. FYI: sterling is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of AG and 7.5% by weight of other not so precious metals as ZN, and CU. Both that held more of a stable market price than the $19.70 OZ AG, and the £1.30 USD this date. that the AG by the English Pound Sterling being worth, less the alloys, at close of business today of only measuring $218.67 in a silver bullion bar.
The Pound, which was measured in twenty 20 pennyweights to a troy ounce units of Shillings, awkwardly divided from 12 troy ounces per troy pound, where their copper penny was a half-dollar size coin with a monarch's head on one side on a coin toss callers winners hidden "heads I win, tails I loose" advantage. The troy ounce is heavier than a postal scale avoirdupois ounce, but as the troy pound only has 12 heavy metal troy ounces, this almost equals out to 16 ounces a bathroom scale, a bit on the light side.
Which is makes for a guaranteed bar bet that a pound of goose feathers weighs less than a pound of gold... no matter what the daily price for paper. That "2 shillings/ 6 pence" coin was locally called a "half-dollar" for the WW2 priced 'Yank' value of a $5 Pound. To those of us not very nice young men dealing with a $2.80 Pound, there still was opportunity in building a illegal photographic silver film developing system recycling recovery vat that would electroplate an almost pure copper penny into a nickel-silver 2/6 coin (worth 35¢) when slide across a publicans counter to trade for for two pints of beer that made US "chicken feed" brews of the time turn paler than they already were.
The old penny (1d) was a coin worth 1/240th of a pound sterling today, or .005 USD at close today, on a recoverable metal value of 5¢. The point is that my WW2 Brenton Wood supported enlisted man's salary, with a 'hardship' station allowance, was enough rent a Elizabethan beam and plaster four room bungalow, complete with formal dining room and library, on the upstream "posh" side of the Thames. At 18 years of age my $56 dollar per month estate even included a full time Polish refuge calvary officer gardener, and a punt to putter about with from an incredible river frontage access.
But then Richard Nixon (R) took us off a silver standard to support FDR's (D) Keynesian thinking on a gold standard. You know, our natural resources treasure house that allowed a private in the US Army just before the Civil War of "greenback fame" to be paid in 16 silver dollars per month; and the same rank just before WW2 to be honored with a 18 silver dollars per month payday where they advanced in line in a parade rest, then one step forward to finally salute, and sign acknowledgment for a physical delivery. Care to guess what such a "rent controlled by station allowance dollars" up-scale experience would have been worth a in an unfettered felon London few months ago?
Care to risk a judgment today... after yesterday's reporting of England's poshest of real estate investments had fallen 1/3 overnight in what where considered "real values" right along with the Bitcoins fiasco.? The history lesson that need to be repeated is that the value of shelter, measured against the coin of the realm might have different values, at different times, and the long-term preservation of a family's wealth requires a little more thought than just remembering a financial advisor, or stockbroker's phone number that introduced you to the Bitcoins that mysteriously came out of Europe, invented by an untraceable Satoshi Nakamoto who just took an obviously programmed hackers hit for billions! According to Wikipedia the British English spelling and terminology (such as the phrase "bloody hard") in both source code comments and forum postings, led at least to a Commonwealth origin. Which is slightly different than the secret western US password to survive the LME is "in-place" hard asset natural resource values.
Where "bloody hard" means the physical asset is in the bank of a Bonanza Creek, and will take "x" capital expenditure to extract at a profit? Or was that a "hard luck old chap" translated from Old English Land Lord-ese class, dealing with the Old French "Mort", or the death of big bank mortgage systems that have failed so dramatically since frugal savings and loan institutions were plundered by credit default swap experts. In part by American International Group, the "AIG" the federal government bailed out for their $180 billion mistake for tricking American investors that an insurance company that started in Shanghai, could actually fail for not having the assurance of the American public. Didn't they, old darling, know at the the AIG Building, 58 Fenchurch Street, London, or learn anything from neighbors Lloyd's, of One Lime Street, London?
Lately these inside knowledge opportunities seem to have vanished into a Regulated Blue Sky. Most likely by those who actually rule by owning gold in the ground, are following the lead of big industry corporations buying back their own stock (running the numbers up on big boards) to survive a coming readjustment of paper currency, and perhaps another Great Great Recession... remembering that the Great Depression had two.
The breaking news for the dumb bearish attitude of "you too can buy an operating gold mine for no money down" appears to be over, just as the natural, predictable, timing cycle between gold rushes is long overdue. The coming gold rush is to find half-way valid opportunities too good to be explained away by a CEO exiting via golden parachute to make money by going bankrupt, or engineering a "merger".
Meanwhile in the 18 states open to mineral entry claim staking of un-appropiated lands by US Citizens, foreign multinationals have created a situation where miner's children in tax revenue poor Nevada counties have a difficult time attending grade school; in nearly bankrupt California small mining investors a kept from competing with foreign control for not belonging to an approved corporate club requiring a $1 Million "qualified status" to become a defender of widows and orphans; and Alaska, which is already a foreign cruise ship monopoly, has been overrun by free-trade Canada's TSX 43-101 certification standard discriminating against US mining professionals to the point that Vancouver venture pump-and-dump juniors have a revenue stream of selling EB-5 green card visas to Asian nationals.

To explainn why TheProspector really only has a few valid prospect to offer readers right now, those who trust our reputation of picking winners that what is involved here is a valid one-time "placement fee" in a for exposure to due dilligence documentationinformation only exposure on a prospect that cannot advertise stock shares for sale.

WILDOMAR ---- Officers arrested 12 Elsinore High School students at the campus Thursday on suspicion of narcotic-related offenses after a long-term investigation into illegal drug sales at two schools, according to a Sheriff's Department news release.
Twelve students also were taken into custody at Vista De Lago High School in Moreno Valley, Sgt. Joe Borja said.
The students were taken to Juvenile Hall and booked on outstanding warrants and any additional charges stemming from Thursday's operation.
Seven juveniles were found in possession of contraband including a switch-blade knife, marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy and hydrocodone during the arrests, Borja said.
The probe was conducted by the department's Special Investigations Bureau and the arrests were performed with the assistance of members of the Southwest Corridor Narcotics Task Force, the West County Narcotics Task Force, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Riverside County District Attorney's Office and personnel from the Lake Elsinore and Moreno Valley police departments.

Mannington's Purple Martin Project Grows
Salem, NJ, Aug. 23, 2012 -– In the mid-1980's, Mannington began an effort to attract the insect-eating birds called Purple Martins to its Salem site as a way to reduce the insect population.
Not only were mosquitoes and other insects a nuisance to employees, but they were attracted to some of the product components used in the manufacturing of flooring and could become lodged in the wet processes coming off the production lines.
That could compromise product quality, the company said.
In 2001, there were 42 nests, 132 eggs and 103 youngsters at the site. With help from employees, the number have grown to 96 nests, 429 eggs, 383 youngsters.
That, Mannington said, makes it one of the largest concentrations of Purple Martins in the state.
And the birds have achieved the company's goal of substantially reducing the insect population.

|The Archaeology of Khirbet Qumran
The major excavations of Khirbet Qumran were performed under the leadership of Roland De Vaux, who completed the investigation of the site in five seasons between 1951 and 1956. De Vaux never published a final report; though he did publish a semi-popular work on the archaeology of the Dead Sea Scrolls that described what became the consensus view of the site. While his work remains invaluable, a number of books on the archaeology of Khirbet Qumran have been published in recent years, some of them challenging the consensus view.

A Hamptons house packed with color and decor.
A Small, Natural Modern California House Encased in Glass
Designer Podge Bune takes us on a tour of her Hamptons home and shares her beach house decorating ideas. Read her full interview to see how she transformed a 1970s gray house into a unique and whimsical, English-style cottage.More
"Everything in this room has a story," Bune says. "The painting of women on a beach was the first thing my husband and I bought when we came to New York. There's a portrait of my dad when he was a little boy, a photograph that my son took when he went to save the gorillas in Uganda. We all have certain things that are important to us and we travel with them, like a snail with his shell."
An old fishmonger's sign hangs over a sitting area just off the fireplace.

I'm a 39 year old mother of a ten year old daughter. I've been wanting to do this for a long time! My weight fluctuations, and pregnancy, and led to a very saggy stomach. My breasts have always been large, and gravity has not been kind.
I'm scheduled for an extended abdominoplasty, reduction mammoplasty, and lipo of the flanks, on Nov. 11th, 2013.

The 42-yard TD run by Plant's James Wilder Jr. in last week's Class 5A state championship game against Bradenton Manatee has hit the Web.
And the bigtime.
A video clip of the spectacular run is currently one of the lead items on the homepage for Yahoo.com.
The headline reads: HS player runs over three defenders
This subhead follows: A son of a former NFL star knocks down players like bowling pins on the way for a touchdown.

Hey, CA community. I've browsed this forum for a couple of years now, but have never mustered up the courage to post, mainly due to intimidation (you are all so good!). Well recently I've been getting my portfolio (mostly drawing, photography, and animation -- not much painting background) to a few schools that I'm applying to, and figured now would be as good as any time to start a CA Sketchbook (that, and the fact that I got a Wacom for Christmas ). Posts will be a bit slow at first, but hopefully I'll get more frequent, and you all can help mold me into a better artist... the digi's will be in order of when they were created, oldest to newest, and the pencil sketches will probably be random order (i have a whole sketchbook to not only add to, but also scan and post here ). So cheers, and wish me luck on my road to more developed skills.

I live in Dormont and work in Mt. Lebo. I want to use my car less and bike more, period but I'd like to start using my bike instead of walking to work in order to get around faster. I'd also like to be able to get downtown by bike without getting on the T or a bus. I see people riding around/commuting in this area but I'm very intimidated by it. If you live/work/or drive through this area, you know how crazy it can be on the roads. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!
Well, ajbooth lives in Mt.Lebo. I live in Upper St.Clair. Marko82 lives somewhere in Souh Hills. :) There are a couple more people from South.
Dormont to Lebo is fairly easy on a bike, but getting downtown is hard.
When I go to Mt Lebanon, I usually take my bike on the T.
Coming back I climb over Mt Washington, but I am a traffic-hardened cyclist and I can deal tihe the intersection of West Liberty and Saw Mill Run to get to Bausman or Warrington. To my knowledge, there is no easy nor safe way to get through there.
Physically, West Liberty isnt too bad especially since it was repaved, although as ajbooth will tell you – some of them drivers are a-holes Certainly the intersection with 51 to warrington is stressful sometimes, but it's doable. But there really isnt a low-volume route that gets you to town from out there. I'm over the hill in Baldwin so I have other road issues. Just keep at it!
Thanks! I appreciate the input. Maybe I'll see yinz guys out on the road.
I think a South Hills coffee / donuts event at Dunkin' is in order. Let's pick a day and we can meet and then all ride in together!
Welcome! I've also been commuting from Mt. Lebo -> Downtown for about three years and so far I haven't run into any problems. (That weren't caused by me.) Of course, I also leave at about 7:30 in the morning so I get to miss a lot of the real crazies.
WRT to navigating the huge 19/51 snarl in front of the tunnels, if the traffic is too much to handle you can always go on the sidewalk and cross with the lights.
The only other thing I'd add is to make sure to frequently check your brake pads. All that downhill riding from Mt. Lebanon and Mt. Washington can wear them out pretty dang fast.
Well, I don't think I'm ever doing this again. It's early Sunday evening, I tried riding .9 miles to work from Potomac to St. Bernard. I had two men roll down their windows and scream at me. One said that I have no right to be on the road and to get on the sidewalk and then another, after I was stopped at a light on a hill, screamed, "Sweetheart, you're too slow to be on the road." I'll stick to trails and will walk to get around.
Man that sucks. That's infuriating. Sorry about your experience.
Apparently I'm going to need to start riding over that way more.
You need a riding buddy, preferably someone with a helmet camera.
That sucks – but have no doubt that they're both wrong, and both a-holes. The thought of morons like that accomplishing their mission of intimidating someone into not riding is infuriating. Obviously it's not my place to tell you to keep at it if you're not comfortable, but I at least hope you'll reconsider it.

@ericapgh, I would be happy to ride with you and prove those guys wrong.

OPEC December Output Lowest Since October 2011
OPEC production fell below 31 million barrels a day last month for the first time since October 2011, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of industry sources and analysts.
Crude-oil production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries averaged 30.933 million barrels a day in December, down about 110,000 barrels a day from 31.043 million barrels a day in November.
The fall was largely due to lower output...

Christmas Gifts for Men
When shopping for men it's always a good idea to keep their interests in mind. You don't have to throw up your hands in dismay and go buy him another sweater. What does he like to do? What are his hobbies? What's that? He doesn't like to do anything? He doesn't have any hobbies? Let's think it over.
Does he like golf, or fishing, or sports; maybe watching sports? Most men like gadgets. Especially if it's a gadget that no one else has. Many men are into barbecuing and grilling. They enjoy it and so does everyone else.
If he loves professional sports, we have many gift ideas there, too.
Does he enjoy movies or music? Maybe he just enjoys relaxing in front of the T.V. with a bowl of popcorn or maybe some good snacks.
Does he do a lot of traveling? There are many gift ideas for the traveler and adventurer. I've done a little research for you and have a few ideas to offer. I hope this helps.
Gadget Gifts for Men
Men love gadgets. Even little boys love gadgets; they start their love affair with electronic and music items and anything unusual very early; so we set out to find some terrific gadgets men love.
The Palm Sized DVD Player: It's small enough to hold in the palm of your hand and fits in a purse or jacket pocket. Whether he's on the plane, waiting in the Doctor's office or riding the bus or train, he can be entertained.
The Portable iPod Video Enlarger And DVD Player is just the gadget he needs to watch videos on a 9 inch widescreen with active matrix technology which basically just means much better video quality. It has duel 3.5mm stereo headphone jacks for use by two people so he doesn't have to watch alone.
Put on the glasses, connect to a video iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone, portable DVD player, or personal video game system and enjoy The Only 55 Inch Widescreen Personal Movie Theater. This is the same as watching a widescreen 55" screen from 10 feet away. It uses two high-resolution LCDs and dual stereo noise isolating earphones. This technology was developed from the U.S. military. It's amazing and fun. This is a gift he will truly be excited about and totally blown away. He might even let you borrow it once in a while. You may also be interested in The Portable DVD Player. It's not much larger than a DVD and can be carried in a briefcase or carry-on. It can be used with the Widescreen Movie Theater. It connects easily to a television or any device with composite audio/video inputs and operates on its rechargeable battery or AC power.
One of the most exciting new cameras on the market is The Only 3D Video Camcorder. It fits in his shirt pocket and records in true 3D. No glasses required. The camcorder can also shoot standard movies and pictures for display on the media player in 2D. He'll love taking movies of the kids on the beach, at Christmas or maybe when he catches the big one.
He might enjoy The Shirtpocket Digital Television. This won't work when he's on the move, but it may save his sanity when he's hanging around doing nothing. And it has a headphone jack that enables him to listen with his own headphone without bothering others. Another shirt pocket find is The Shirtpocket Radar Gun. This could be fun at a baseball game to monitor the speed of a pitch or even monitor the speed of the pitch of his own future all star, or find out how fast his kids can run, or find out how fast his R.C cars can go. (R.C. cars are big on the hobby list.)This one is a fun curiosity gift.
The Peaceful Progression Wake-Up Alarm Clock could turn out to be one of his favorite gifts. It will awaken him naturally with gradually increasing light, aromatherapy scents, nature sounds. It has a snooze button, headphone jack and of course volume control. This is a top seller. I can see why.
The Video Recording Sunglasses is perfect for recording the kids playing on the beach, capturing his kid's homerun without having to worry about a camera. He'll find lots of occasions to record and share with his family when he copies them to his computer.
How often does he misplace his cell phone? That won't happen with The Cell Phone Watchdog. This little gadget sounds an alarm when he and his cell phone are separated more than 30 feet. He can clip it to his belt or attach it to his keys. Problem solved—as long as he doesn't lose his keys. This one by the way is winner of the "Best of Innovations" award at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show. I just thought you might like to know what a great gift this really is.
This is just a sample of the great gadget gifts available. There are many more gadget items that make wonderful gifts.

Music Gifts
Music makes life a little easier, a little more fun and a lot happier. When the sound quality is poor the music is not very enjoyable, but when we have good systems working for us we can relax away the tension or jam away the tension.
If you're looking for in ear headphones I can personally recommend The Bose® In Ear Headphones. My son has a set and he says they produce the best sound of any ear buds he has heard and they're the most comfortable.
Check this one out. With the Wireless MP3 Shower Speakers he can listen to music while in the shower. Just plug iPod, iPhone or MP3 player into the transmitter which can be 150' away and the wireless MP3 shower speakers sound amazing.
Since your guy likes music, he'll love The Sharper Image® Touch MP3 Video Player.This 4 Gigabyte MP3 player is all about enjoying your music and videos – wherever, whenever, even without headphones. But they include high quality headphones. He can listen either way. There's another great product out there that he'll really appreciate. Get him The MP3 Music and Video Player Keychain. Everytime he walks out the door with his keys in hand, he'll also have his MP3, because it's attached to his keychain. Clever!
Has he been complaining about not being able to hear his music because of the noise around him? He needs The Best Noise Cancelling Earbuds. These are said to cancel up to 85% of background noise. He'll like that!

Fine Leather Gifts for Men
When it comes to clothing and accessories nothing is as appealing as fine leather. And some of the finest quality leather products in the world come from Aspinal of London. These leather gift ideas are intended for the sophisticated gentleman that wants to look and feel his best.
Aspinal's Cashmere Lined Leather gloves are a luxurious way to keep his hands warm and toasty on those cold winter days. Oozing with refined style, these gloves are handmade from the finest English leather Nappa kid skin and feature hand stitched details from the finger tips to the back of the hand. But what sets these gloves apart is definitely the comfort of that soft, warm cashmere lining. They are available in brown, black and tan leather.
You can't go wrong with a Leather Billfold Wallet from Aspinal. What I love about these wallets, besides having multiple options of gorgeous leather designs, is that they also make sure to get every last detail right. For example, Aspinal uses luscious soft-suede for the inner lining and silk lined hidden pockets. These wallets are available in smooth Bridle, Safari Mock Croc Calf and Jewel calf leather. They each have ample space with 8 credit card pockets, 2 large multi purpose pockets and 2 full length pockets for cash or anything else.
Another great gift option is The ID & Travel Card Case. This one is a personal favorite of my son's. He loves it because in addition to looking stylish it also functions perfectly as a front pocket wallet. So if the man you're buying for prefers something smaller than a regular billfold, this will work. They are available in Jewel Calf, English Bridle or Amazon Croc Calf leather. Each one has soft suede lining, two credit card compartments, a windowed compartment for his ID and a hidden silk lined compartment perfect for storing cash. My son went with The Smooth Black English Bridle Leather & Cobalt Blue Soft Suede with personalized blind embossing. You might also consider The Double Fold Credit Card Case as another great option for a smaller sized wallet.
Here are a few more great leather gift ideas:

It's not cheating, but it will certainly give him an advantage. It has full 3D hole layout that shows the yardages to every hazard or target, plus the front, center, and back of the green and over 16,000 U.S. courses preloaded. The avid golfer will love this one.
He loves playing golf and walking the course for exercise, but does he love carrying that heavy golf bag? The answer is the Electric Golf Caddy. It's sturdy enough to carry his clubs and lightweight enough to lift in and out of the car. It's electric and will go 6 MPH and it's strong enough to go up hills. He'll love this gift and so will his back. Of course, this electric model may be a little more than he needs. He might prefer The One Step Folding Golf Cart. It's not electric and is a little cheaper. It's lightweight, easy to fold and won't tip over.
When he's out on the course and getting hot and thirsty, he can reach for his Golf Club Drink Dispenser. It comes with a real head and shaft, but it dispenses his favorite hot or cold drink. It's battery operated and holds 54 ounces in a bag that is tucked in his golf bag. This could become one of his favorite clubs.
After he gets home, he'll want to clean his golf clubs. The Motorized Golf Club Cleaner will make it easy. The four interchangeable cleaning and polishing heads keep his clubs ready for the greens.

The Golf Ball Finding Fit Overs for Prescription Lens Wearers.
He will love The Most Realistic Home Golf Simulator. This golf simulator that allows play at championship golf courses from the comfort of home. It includes EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 software which visually renders your shots on a PC or television. He can still have fun, even when he's stuck inside.
Personalized Christmas gifts are really nice. They're easy on the pocket book and make great stocking stuffers. He might like a Golf Pro© Personalized Golf Towel that can be monogrammed with his name and initial. He can mark his spot on the green and there's no more guessing with the Monogrammed Golf Ball Markers. Another gift idea is the Nike® Personalized Golf Shoe Bag. It looks good, is durable and can be monogrammed. Another personalized gift idea to go with the bag is the Golf Pro© Personalized Bag Tag. Personalize with any four lines of personalization on one side and his initial on the other. Another choice on the shoe bag is the Black Leather Golf Shoe Bag. It's not personalized, but is of very high quality.

Gifts for Fishermen
A really nice Christmas gift that is over the top and might be that special and unique gift you've been looking for is The Only Stand Up Fisherman's Kayak. The unique design of this kayak enables the fisherman to sneak stealthily into the best fishing spots without the noise of an engine and to fish from a standing up position which can be hugely beneficial and something that is virtually impossible to do in a standard kayak. An awesome piece of equipment.
Another good choice for a Christmas gift for the fisherman is The Ventilated Brimmed Hat. It provides UV protection and promises to keep the head cool.
If you're looking for a fish finder for a Christmas gift, this might be just what you're looking for: The Fish-Finding Watch. That's right. He won't have to hold it in his hand or attach it to the boat. He can wear it like a watch because it is a watch displaying time and date. The sensor reads to a depth of 120 feet. The remote sensor runs 500 continuous hours and turns off when removed from the water. Every angler wants to know where the fish are. He'll love you for giving him this one!
A great piece of equipment he'll enjoy when fishing on the bank at the edge of a pond or river is the Sit 'n Fish Personalized Cooler & Chair. It's easy to carry, holds up to 24 cans and chair is easy to open. It's not just for fishermen, it's also good for picnics, a day at the park or at the sports field. It's small and convienent. Another similar idea is the Sit 'n Fish© Personalized Fishing Bucket Cooler
Personalized gifts for the fisherman are fun and very special. It shows you took the time to have his name or initials placed on it so that it is personally his. Here are a few links you might want to check out:

A beautiful and still rugged jacket is the Gone Fishing Leather Jacket. Men look good and feel good in leather and this brown leather jacket is styled especially for the fisherman. The back of the jacket showcases the full color wide mouth bass artwork of Al Agnew across the shoulders and embroidered fish artwork on the front. It's a beautiful, masculine jacket. More Agnew artwork is displayed on this "Rapid Strike" Bass Fisherman's Leather Wallet.
The "Gone Fishing" Engraved Sportsman's Watch with Compass is a great looking watch he will enjoy wearing every day, and it's not likely he'll see another one like it. It's stainless steel with a brown leather and canvass strap, a compass and 3 chronograph subdials and an etched fish silhouette on the leather. It's a handsome watch. He also might like The Bass Sportsman Ring. It's a beautiful and unusual piece of jewelry with sculptural leaping bass design, black onyx inlay, 24K gold-plated sterling silver, and inscribed band.
Personally, I think all three of those items, the Gone Fishing Jacket, the Gone Fishing Watch and the Bass Sportsman Ring, as a single gift set would be an absolute thrill for any serious fisherman. Yes, I know these aren't cheap, but that's exactly the point! They are very high quality. He's going to look great and just imagine how he's going to feel!
These personalized shirts keep the fishing theme going and are really cute. You might even find one the kids might like to give.

Epuipment & Tools for the Outdoorsman
Another handy gift idea that is great when he is camping is The 14 Day Lantern. Yes, it gives 14 days of continuous light on four D batteries. The LEDs use less energy, are safe for children and are uninteresting to insects. It also has low and high settings. A camping must for most situations is setting up the tent. He would love a simple way of doing this—enter The Instant 7 Person Tent. It pops up in 60 seconds and will accommodate up to seven sleeping bags. It is 6 ½' high at its central peak and is 82 square feet of floor space. The twist of a dial on the frame allows you to collapse the tent so that it fits inside the included shoulder bag. The tent is made from durable, waterproof polyester, it secures to the ground with four included stakes, and comes with a removable rainfly. A gift idea that any camper will enjoy during the winter months is The Only Heated Portable Chair. Undetectable carbon fiber heating elements woven into the chair heat from 120º F to 140º F to warm your legs and posterior. The built-in rechargeable battery powers the heating elements for up to four hours on the lowest setting and up to 2 1/2 hours on high. He'll really love and appreciate this gift.
Anyone who loves the outdoors needs good Binoculars. The Superior Clarity Binoculars are the high-definition binoculars that deliver crisp images without the color distortion or lack of contrast common to lesser models. They provide 10X magnification with an extremely wide field of view of 341′ at 1,000 yards and can still focus with clarity, objects only 6 ½ feet away. He might like The World's Longest Zoom Binoculars if he's interested in seeing the flick of a deer's ear at 500 yards away. They easily adjust from 20X to 144X with the simple press of a lever providing sharp, clear images. He may prefer The Best Compact Zoom Binoculars. In tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, these compact binoculars delivered the best combination of image quality, ease of use, and durability. They provide 8X to 16X magnification that remain sharp and bright at any distance.
The 12-in-1 Survivor Tool is a must-have for emergencies at home or in the wilderness. Crank the handle and generate power when you need it.

It contains a panic alarm, LED flashlight, digital FM radio, motion activated security alarm, red emergency flasher, cell phone charger, AC charging adapter input, compass, self charging hand crank, signal mirror, thermometer, and lanyard. This could be a real life saver.
My favorite gift idea is The Transparent Canoe Kayak. What could be more fun than paddling along in your canoe and looking at the sea life underneath you? The sturdy canoe hull is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. It's easy to maneuver and has adjustable seats for persons of different heights. The paddlers sit lower to the deck for better balance. The light weight aluminum frame makes it easy to transport. It includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices. On calm waters, this looks like great fun. Don't forget to wear coast guard approved life vests and it's recommended for ages 16 and over with parental supervision.

Hats for Outdoorsmen
Anytime he's outdoors, he should wear a hat no matter what time of year it is. We all know about protecting ourselves from the sun. Not only do we have the UV rays to worry about, we also have the heat or cold and insects. Men can be picky about their hats, so we've selected several for the outdoorsman for you to check out.
The Drover's Kangaroo Bush Hat - This one is made of kangaroo leather and is much softer and more durable than cowhide. Exceptional sun protection.
The Uncrushable Leather Hat – He can pack this one in his suitcase and even crush it and it instantly pops back to its original shape.
The Insect Repellent Hat – Provides safe protection from mosquitoes, ticks, no-see-ums, and black flies.
The Packable Panama Hat – Exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer this hat springs back to its original shape when unpacked. It is made in Ecuador from bleached leaves of the Toquilla palm.
The Nor'easter Waterproof Hat - Its laminated 100% nylon exterior repels water while its seam-sealed interior guarantees your head will stay dry. In windy conditions, the hat ties on with a cord in the front and back of your head. Includes a secret pocket in the crown.
The Evaporative Cooling Brimmed Hat – All he has to do is run water over it, shake off the excess and wear. It conducts body heat outward, while retaining the cool water and releasing it slowly through evaporation, cooling his head. Its ventilated crown also provides cooling.
The Ventilated Brimmed Hat - Has nylon mesh on the sides to reduce heat buildup, so it combines superior sun protection with cool ventilation.

Ratings for Dr. Cindy G. Kobelin
Down-to-earth, warm, efficient, non-alarmist and extremely well read. Dr. Kobelin has cared for me during my 2 pregnancies and was always very thoughtful, helpful and kind. Her staff are great too.
Recently switched to dr KOBELIN due to problems not found by my other doctor Dr Kobelin order ultrasound at my first visit and helped me a lot to fix my problem that 2 other doctors missed
I love her She delivered all 3 of my kids So kind
I had a very complicated pregnancy and Dr Kobelin and Dr Achilles were beyond fantastic. The office staff was wonderful and always accommodating. I spent a great deal of time there each week and they were terrific. Felt like family!
truly amazing professional she was so caring and nice during my recent pregnancy
Very warm and professional woman OB . Her office is well managed and she seems to be well organized compared to other doctors I see
Great doc with great bedside manner. Got lucky as she was at both of my deliveries
Dr. Kobelin was pleasant enough when I was pregnant with my child back in 2004. I am only writing this now as I came across this site just now. I was very disappointed with the front desk staff. I particularly was surprised by a joke they had at the reception desk - a pretend urn that said something like "ashes of difficult patients". Something like that. Not very patient centered. It may no longer be there - I hope. Unfortunately, I felt like each visit was a bit rote -- kind of just telling me what I already read in my pregnancy books. I also ended up with a complication that no one picked up on and may not have been able to. Still it was not an optimal situation. I had a different person I never met deliver my baby and that went fine.
we had great experience with Dr. Kobelin. she is very helpful.
Dr. Kobelin is the Doctor, I have never thought of being taken care of any other Doctor except her. I expected my first child, by then I was new to Boston, I was well handled for the 9 moths that I saw her. Her level of knowledge and profesionalism is very high.

In the bar world, Halloween has the mystery of disguise, St. Patrick's has the kiss-me-I'm-Irish fever and New Year's Eve carries a certain elegance tempered by nostalgia.
But for all-out madness and socializing, there's one nocturnal king of nighttime partying.
"The night before Thanksgiving is still the biggest bar night of the year," said Brandon Schwark, general manager of Madison's Pub in downtown Mount Clemens, which no doubt will be elbow-to-elbow once the sun sets on Nov. 21.
Venue operators say the heavy turnout is due to college kids coming home for the weekend and wanting to go out for a while before settling in with family the following day for the big turkey meal and hours of parades and football games.
Residents of Macomb and Oakland counties have plenty of options -- here are a few suggestions where you're guaranteed to have fun and meet new people:
-- Mon Jin Lau, 1515 E. Maple in Troy is quickly becoming the favorite spot for many young professionals; the restaurant's big Shanghai Wednesday celebration falls on the night before turkey day. Mention its Facebook promotion and receive a 25 percent discount on dinner in the Nu-Asian eatery. Music by DJ Tom T and DJ Matt A, and Tone on percussion.
-- All four Dooleys Irish Taverns will all have plenty of fish in the sea celebrating. The Roseville location, 32500 Gratiot, features Kaleido lead singer Christina Chriss performing from 6 to 10 p.m. and DJ Cue takes over from there. In Mount Clemens, at 235 N. Groesbeck, check out 89X DJ Reed, and the Sterling Heights tavern at 12414 Hall Road features DJ Don Mecca. The newest Dooleys, at 27 E. 14 Mile Road in Clawson, will have a DJ yet to be named.
-- At Roger's Roost, 33626 Schoenherr in Sterling Heights, Wednesdays are already a big draw with Mug Night, but things go over the top on Thanksgiving Eve with DJ Johnny Brasco doing his thing.
-- Danny D and the Vagabonds present their rocking tribute to Rod Stewart at Blue Goose Inn, 28911 Jefferson Ave. in St. Clair Shores. There is a $4 cover.
-- Dino's Lounge, 22740 Woodward in Ferndale, hosts some of the best karaoke singers all year, and many of them will be led to the stage by Mike Shea starting at 8:30 p.m.
-- As the entertainment epicenter of Royal Oak, Fifth Avenue, 15 W. 5th Ave., will be alive with dancing and music by DJ Hush Dan Haddad. Cover charge to be determined.
-- When it comes to people watching -- and meeting -- any of the many Hamlin's Pub locations is hard to beat. Locations include 50659 Gratiot near 23 Mile in Chesterfield Township, 55076 Van Dyke near 25 Mile, and 48929 Hayes near 22 Mile, both in Shelby Township, and 1988 S. Rochester Road in Rochester Hills.
-- Speaking of Rochester, the popular Acoustic Brothers From Different Mothers will jam at Rochester Mills Beer Company, 400 Water St. in the city's newly remodeled downtown.
-- Tin Fish at The Mall at Partridge Creek, 17470 Hall Road in Clinton Township, hosts the band Planet of Fun and tons of people.
-- Tequila Blue, 526 Main in downtown Royal Oak, will have music by DJ Tom starting at 10 p.m. On the first level there are dueling pianos beginning at 8 p.m.
-- Mug Shots Bar & Grill, 38730 Harper in Clinton Township, will have live country and classic rock from Longneck Strangler in a free show at 9:30 p.m.
On Thanksgiving night, there are several places hosting live music to get out and enjoy.
-- Uncle Kracker (Harrison Township native Matt Shafer) returns to the Royal Oak Music Theatre in an all-ages show. Tickets are $9.95 in advance, $15 on turkey day. Tickets may be obtained at www.ticketmaster.com.
-- Following the closure of the Emerald Theatre, Mount Clemens-based Critical Bill had to move its free annual holiday show over to New York New York, 33151 23 Mile Road in Chesterfield Township. Also appearing are Jeffery Adam Gutt of TV's "The X Factor," Hell Rides North and Justin Alezander.
-- And Mug Shots, 38730 Harper Ave. in Clinton Township, presents rock vocalist Ronny Masters.
