Rooo I've just been on the bestest and most pawsome holiday ever. My humans rented a cottage that turned out to be a converted barn on a sheep farm in Devon. A sheep farm, can you imagine? It doesn't get any better than that when you're a herding doggie! *waggy tail*
My chores
My humans had invited a bunch of friends over and everyone was told they'd be in charge of the the cooking one day each. My human sat me down and told me that I couldn't be trusted with food duties after the small incident with the flapjacks, the time I was caught with my mouth full of macaroni cheese, the unexplained disappearance of a number of chocolate bars and the….you get the idea. In short, I was banned from kitchen duty.
That doesn't mean I didn't get any chores. Oh no. I was supposed to look after my toys, keep the house nice and tidy, and be in charge of security.
As you know I take my duties *very* seriously.
Keeping an eye on the security arrangements
I didn't quite trust the sheep so I decided that rounding them up in a neat little herd would make them easier to manage. So for security reasons (I did not do this for my own entertainment, honest, I was only trying to keep my pack safe) I decided to break into their pen and herd them into a corner far, far, away. The humans didn't seem to understand my plans…
The humans seem to have a sixth sense for sheep herding too – they caught me just in time, every time, before I managed to jump that fence.
Keeping the house tidy
Keeping an eye on my toys
As you can see I've had a really pawsome holiday without any mischief at all – what have you been up to this weekend? *waggy tail*

I am a fiber in the rope, one of many such, and my spiral existence is bounded by two points, B and C, along the length of the rope. At point A on the left I did not exist, and at a point D on the right I shall exist no more...When I inspect my experience as a fiber, it turns out to be an experience of tension; and of course you cannot have an experience of tension from one end alone, but you have to experience it as equal at both ends.

Gold Prices Climb, U.S. Markets Reopen after Sandy
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By jturbin | November 1, 2012 2:31 AM EST
GOLD PRICE NEWS – The gold price advanced modestly on Wednesday alongside other commodities as U.S. financial markets reopened following two days of closures due to Hurricane Sandy. The spot price of gold rose as much as $12.21, or 0.7%, to $1,722.47 per ounce after consolidating near $1,710 earlier this week in electronic trading. Gold prices were buoyed this morning in part by moderate weakness in the U.S. dollar, which fell 0.4% against a basket of foreign currencies.
Silver outperformed the price of gold this morning, as it jumped $0.53, or 1.7%, to $32.34 per ounce. Among other precious metals, platinum futures added 1.2% to $1,572.30 per ounce while palladium climbed 1.8% to $607.10 per ounce. As for cyclical commodities, copper futures rose 0.5% to $3.53 per pound and crude oil advanced by 0.8% to $86.32 per barrel.
Gold stocks also fared better than the yellow metal on Wednesday, as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) moved up by $1.09, or 2.1%, to $52.33 per share. Two of the best performing GDX components were Barrick Gold (ABX) and Eldorado Gold (EGO) – which traded higher by 2.8% to $40.26 and by 4.2% to $14.54 per share, respectively.
(Check out GoldAlert Pro at http://pro.goldalert.com for gold price predictions and analysis on over 90 gold and silver stocks)
The broader market indices trailed the gold sector, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average relinquished its earlier 0.5% gain and dipped 10.96 points, or 0.1%, to 13,096.25.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the week, many market strategists expect trading volumes to be light as many individuals in the financial world remain unable to commute to their offices in New York City due to the subway system remaining closed. City officials have yet to say when the subway system may reopen, but it is unlikely to be before Friday.
Despite the substantial damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the U.S. Labor Department affirmed that it will release the highly-anticipated October non-farm payrolls report on Friday. The closely-followed employment data is likely to serve as a key catalyst for both the gold price and the broader financial markets.
Nevertheless, Mitsui Precious Metals analyst David Jollie wrote in a note to clients today that he sees the price of gold remaining range-bound in the near term due to uncertainty ahead of next week's U.S. presidential election. "People are not keen to add risk to their portfolios ahead of that," Jollie contended.
Analysts at UBS noted in their latest market report that the recent stabilization in gold prices above $1,700 per ounce ounce has been a constructive development ahead of a resumption of the yellow metal's rally that occurred between June and September. However, UBS cautioned that "There are those who are still looking for another dip, perhaps one that offers an opportunity to jump in sub-$1700, between now and year-end…The clear downtrend from earlier in the month has now been replaced by this consolidation phase. But the possibility of another attempt on the downside certainly cannot be ruled out, especially with U.S. nonfarm payrolls coming up and the U.S. elections looming."

sigh Me and my friends wont be able to participate in this fine tournament since we dont live in Canada nor United states of America
Ah well I will just wait untill a global tournament
Senior Member
I doubt it's very complicated getting your tourny approved in Quebec. I'm glad theres a tournament but it would be nice if everyone could participate.
PEDO Marky
Egocentrism is the center of the problem...
When there are sweet prizes, only a few can participate. Isn′t that just wrong?
Bah, no one cares about these kind of comments, if they make another tournament, they will do the same stupidity again so I guess there is no point arguing.
I wonder if brains are that expensive...
Junior Member
Why cant peole from Europa play in the tournament ? thats unfair we would kick some **** let us sign up
Talk to your MP's dude. It's not Canada's nor Riots fault quebec has to be difficult and be lead by idiots.
Jan Jeschek
WtH Riot? Me and some friends played and played hours and hours till we got lvl 30 and now we cant join tournaments? Only if we install the german version and start at lvl 1 ? Why only peaple who live in the states can join this tournament?
Seems like a really cool competition, too bad I'm only level 18 =(
I accidentally submitted our form twice because I didn't know we submitted it the first time, I thought I'd see a confirmation screen, but it just took me back to the form. When I tried to resubmit I saw an e-mail address error so I changed e-mail addresses for our members. Can we be disqualified for this?

Gold Tires
From the Super Mario Wiki
The Gold Tires (known as the Gold Wheels in Europe and Australia) are a special set of unlockable tires in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
In Mario Kart 7, the Gold Tires are unlocked by collecting 15,000 coins, or by getting a star rank on every GP cup for each engine class. They offer the exact same stat boosts as the Slick tires, and they offer the best speed boost, but they also offer the worst off-road boost. However, the Gold Tires give up some more acceleration to enhance weight. Additionally, they're tied with the Slick, Monster, and Red Monster, for the weakest handling boost in the game.
When the Gold Tires are combined with the Gold Standard body and Gold Glider, they complete the whole Gold Standard. This kart gives great speed (the 2nd biggest boost in the game) and good weight, but has a bad handling boost, and abysmal off-road (the smallest boost in the game, which is on par to if the Slick wheels were used).
Mario Kart 8[edit]
The Gold Tires also appear in Mario Kart 8, along with the other gold parts from Mario Kart 7. They look slightly different than they do in Mario Kart 7, and their stat boosts/drops are different, being much more balanced compared to the ones from Mario Kart 7. They can only be unlocked by beating every Staff Ghost in Time Trial mode.
Stat Boosts[edit]
Stat values are out of 6.

Marju Lauristin, Professor of Tartu University and former MP, says that the Estonian society has come to a critical point, but the country's leaders are unable to embrace the changes that are taking place.
Speaking at a year-end interview to ETV, Lauristin said that it was high time to face the issues and start resolving them, instead of meaningless shuffle and self-admiration.
"What happened this year is like puberty. And this is not the first puberty that people have at about 12 years of age," said Lauristin, adding that she feels that the state and society is about 21.
"It's the age when one starts to feel one's force and looks at critically at things that have so far seemed to be natural. It's the time when you don't want others to determine your life, but want to take control of it."
"Today's politicians are from yesterday's society. This is the core issue and my message. Those who came to power in the last decade or one before that are accustomed to a different society. The society that is being shaped right now is a new society. It's a society of young and older people who have so far remained focused on their own issues and have not taken an active stance. This society is already ready and wants a different way of public governance and a different opportunity to feel themselves.
I feel that there is not only a gap between those who rule and those who are being ruled, but the gap is growing because the people feel that instead of addressing certain problems the rulers prefer to focus on replacement activities.
This is the real reason that people are discontent – it's not only because of small wages.
In my opinion one of the most important changes in 2012 was that people started to talk about their demands and understanding and wanted to be heard.
Also the press has somewhat changed its attitude. I have always been angry when I see that the press treats the public as children, ie talks to them in simple sentences and focuses only on entertaining issues. I really hope that the press has understood that the people are adults and smarter than the press itself.
Also the politicians understand that they must change their attitude to people. They must understand that this is serious. So far they have thought that all they need to do to involve people is to arrange some seminars, put mineral water on the table and hand out nice pens. It is getting serious."
Lauristin said that all the negative issues that surfaced this year were actually positive because they will help to develop the civic society.
"Finally, the results of the census have made people think seriously about what social researchers have been saying for a decade. It's time to recognize tough times and to admit the mistakes of not taking it seriously.
Estonia is small – it's a fact and law of nature. But the way every Estonian behaves is not a law of nature.
How have we come to the point where we now fear that the country will run out of people? What's important is that such exodus starts at the top. If hard-working, active and younger people decide to leave for work abroad because they cannot wait until their expectations are met, it will hard for Estonia even to maintain the current position at two-thirds of the European average.
We must understand that we are in a critical point. Actually, Critical Point was also the working title of Charter 12. When we were drawing up the charter we did not write down how this critical point was being manifested because it would have been too long. But we were driven by the feeling that the critical point had been reached and we must start change our mode of operation and attitude, finally face the issues that will plague us in the next years to come and to try resolve them.

DOOD. TALENT SHOW COMING UP. I NEED IDEAS. >>;Possibilities:1.) Kelly Osbourne skit. They're always fun.2.) Rocking out on guitars with Jenn and Lex3.) Dramatic scene from a movie.4.) Dancing around naked singing nursery rhymes..Hmm. >>;Anyway. Zach pissed fo sheezy at me. I think it's cause I'm a jerk to him and he just gets jealous that I'm mucho cooler than he. rofl. Or not.Eryn, Bri and I went to the park yesterday and hung out. We were making fun of Nate Kaufman and Cora. ROFL. Yeah. So. Uhh.Eve of the Revolution is coming up. I get to write a speech. Now what, niccua! lol <3britt
Nicknames have been distributed. I'm not going to list them here 'cause they're too funny.Jake was rumored to have wanted to rape Alexis and kill her down at the police station. I'm sort of not believing it now, because he was so nice to her before, and never was mean or viscious toward her.. he's just doing it for attention. I mean, if he did I'm sure Jake would get fucked up in a second.Jenn + Britt + Lex + Bobby + Cory = Mall. Friday. <3Later kidsBritt
Weeeeelllll!Me and alexis are planning on hanging out for awhile and then prolly' going to check out her new house. Then we're going to subway for FOOD. lol..other than that I feel pretty good. Nate is expelled cause he's a dumbass.. annnd.. i brought my grades up. holler back. rotf. <3Britt
Hahaha.GDamnSinner: i cut myself ;\im an ADD kiid: im sure u didim an ADD kiid: do u have any rational reasonsGDamnSinner: umm yeah i was shaving assholeim an ADD kiid: lmaorotf. luv u lex.<333Britt
Today was a really.. upsetting day.Jake's a juvenile now.Seems all the rumors about him killing people came out to be true. Lex is so upset.. and I'm emotionally strained. Jake just set himself up for this huge..downfall. And he brought everyone with him. He's dating my best friend, and she's so upset. Like, she had to take this whole package of problems on when she got the lable of Jake's girlfriend. And she's blaming herself now. It's not her fault. It's no ones fault but his own. I just wish someone would give me the true story so I can analyze it myself. Alexis is feeling this burden against her, and I really hate that. I wish I could give Jake a piece of my mind. I know his problems were way more than what was shown to me.. to Alexis.. to anybody.. but I wish he would find himself -- he's young and he hasn't even began to prioritize for the future.. or even what he wants.Jake, if you ever read this, I want you to know you have more support from more people than you think. I know I wasn't too coopertive with you, but now I see anything can make the difference. We are all here for you. Jake, in the words of Nirvana...Come as you areAs you wereAs I want you to beAs a friend, as a friendAs an old enemyTake your time Hurry up Choice is yours Don't be lateTake a restAs a friendAs an old memory, yahmemory, yahmemory, yahmemory, yahCome dowsed in muddSoaked in bleachAs I want you to beAs a trendAs a friendAs an old memory, yahmemory, yahmemory, yahmemory, yahAnd I swear that I don't have a gun,No I don't have a gun, No I don't have gunWord Jake. :D Mixed feelings.Britt
I dunno. I feel as if the whole world is like.. coming to an end. For me; anyway. Not like literally.I talked to Michelle today. It was a great conversation. We talked about everything from the way preppies walk to what witchcraft really was. We also talked about her and her hooooneeeeeyyy Andrew (of course. She always touches base on that topic.) But we also talked about manic depression and stuff, and it really got me thinking.I've been so emotional lately. Like, I've been bawling alot for no particular reason. Well.. there have been reasons. Just.. nothing I soley admit to crying about.Parents, Friends, Schoolwork, Loss of love, I'm in my own dysphoria, basically.My friends aren't helping, either. I don't even want friends; I feel like they're something I have to deal with, rather than a choice. They don't understand me.. I don't think I even understand myself. Michelle is like the only person I feel I can really talk to. She knows what I'm going through because she's been there.I love my friends, but I'm looking for composure. I wish someone would like, just attempt to get to know me in my spiritual regards. Bobby says he is there for me, but I have to second guess everything he says.. just because I still am getting used to him.Alexis is there for me; technically she is. I don't know if she's mentally there with me. She just assumes I'm going to slit my wrists :/ I can't blame her. I act suicidal.Jenn has been way tooooo... gone.

Homeland Security Department officials are improving their coordination on department-wide purchasing efforts, but they aren't sharing the changes through policy guidance, according to a Government Accountability Office report.
The improvements are numerous. Among them: The chief procurement officer's office has increased department-level insight into the procurement operations of the agency's components, and recommended ways DHS' disparate parts can perform better. The various components are also joining together for strategic sourcing efforts, by which DHS can leverage its buying power to get lower prices from vendors. Officials also have pushed consistent on-site and status reviews. Their efforts aim to give the components common procurement goals, the Government Accountability Office reported Sept. 12.
However, GAO found DHS acquisition officials were unclear about expectations.
"DHS had not updated its procurement oversight policy and guidance to reflect the increased focus on procurement and changes to the original oversight program," GAO wrote.
In August, officials made revisions to its policies and guidebooks, which GAO considers a step in the right direction. Nevertheless, GAO's review of the revised policy and guidance found contradictions between the two and with current oversight efforts. GAO wrote that inconsistencies in documents can "diminish the value of the program and opportunities for increased accountability for procurements."
As DHS has improved its acquisition structure, Nick Nayak, DHS's chief procurement officer, said the department has moved forward with the support and coordination of its nine heads of contracting. They have developed the first three-year CPO strategic plan.
"We created the plan because we wanted to get it out to all of the 1,453 employees and very clearly state what are our priorities, what are our initiatives, and what are the metrics for success," Nayak said Aug. 22 on Off The Shelf, a radio show hosted by Roger Waldron, president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
Meanwhile, GAO also found that three other agencies are not joining forces to capture contracting data, according to a separate report released Sept. 12. The State and Defense departments and the U.S. Agency for International Development have been required to report annually on specific information regarding contracts and other forms of assistance they dole out in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress directed the data collection to provide decision-makers within agencies and on Capitol Hill with a clearer understanding of what's happening in those countries.
The three agencies chose the DOD-managed Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) as their common database. But they generally relied on other data sources considered more reliable to prepare a 2011 joint report on Iraq and Afghanistan. On top of that, they used different data sources or changed their methodologies from what was used for the 2010 joint report, GAO reported.
Only the State Department relied directly on SPOT for contractor and assistance personnel information. None of the three agencies used SPOT to identify the number of contractor and assistance personnel killed or wounded in the two countries. USAID told GAO SPOT didn't meet its management needs and other sources are more reliable.
"These differences prevent decision-makers from using information in the report to compare across agencies and obtain an overall accurate picture," GAO wrote.
GAO recommended that the secretaries of Defense and State and the USAID administrator work together to standardize the methodologies used to obtain and present information contained in the annual joint report.
Each of the agencies agreed with the recommendation.

Madigan commends federal government suing S&P
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • February 6, 2013 • News
AP — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says the federal lawsuit against Standard & Poor's echoes a lawsuit she's already filed.
Madigan is in Washington as officials detail a lawsuit accusing the debt rating agency of civil fraud for giving high ratings to risky mortgage bonds that helped caused the financial crisis. Several attorneys general joined the lawsuit.
Madigan filed a lawsuit against S&P last year and supported other efforts. She says S&P was a trigger for the destruction of the economy.
The government's complaint contends S&P misled investors by stating its ratings were objective. It says S&P's desire to make money and gain market share caused S&P to ignore risks posed by the investments. The alleged fraud made it possible to sell the investments to banks.
S&P denies wrongdoing.

Diarrhea, tuberculosis kill as swine flu takes focus in India
Tuberculosis and diarrhea-related diseases kill more people each day in India than the total number worldwide who have died from the H1N1 virus. Don't be alarmed by swine flu, authorities say.
Mumbai and New Delhi residents rushed to purchase face masks after India recorded its first swine flu death on Aug. 3, prompting the federal government to advise the general public against buying them and creating a shortage for health-care workers. Daily media coverage of the fatalities, currently at 20, prompted India last week to ask broadcasters to exercise restraint and not create panic, Times of India reported.

Don't you just love it when the "pretty good" buck you thought you shot winds up being a giant? That's a rhetorical question, of course, since most deer hunters are far more apt to experience the opposite.
Dustin Shaffer, however, could answer that question.
When a buck charged out of a honeysuckle patch last season with ears back, looking to kick some whitetail butt, Dustin had no time to count the points on its rack. The appearance of the animal was so sudden, so unexpected, that he barely had time to point his rifle at it.
The Kentuckian's autopilot squeezed the trigger.
Afterward, when Dustin was sitting on the ground beside the dead deer, he had a difficult time believing what had transpired in the span of a few minutes. The boom from his .270 was still ringing in his ears.
This occurred on the Wednesday after the Bluegrass State's modern gun season opened, after he'd put in a day's work pouring concrete.
"I had been in my stand about 30 minutes when I took out my call, grunted a few times, and then rattled," he told Dale Weddle, who measured the buck and is writing the story for Rack magazine. "After that, it was quiet for about 5 or 10 minutes."
And then it wasn't quiet any more.
Just goes to show that all you've heard about rattling, about how mature bucks tend either to come in quickly – somewhere between immediately and 10 minutes – or not at all, is true. After finishing a sequence, always wait at least 15 or 20 minutes before trying another.
The proof is hanging on Dustin's wall with a BTR composite score of 197 inches.

Could Bitcoin be the money of the future?
The crypto-currency Bitcoin is still merely a speck on the global monetary landscape. It is young, experimental, and for all we know, it may ultimately fail to break into the monetary mainstream. However, on a conceptual level I am willing to call it a work of genius and arguably the most exciting development in the field of money for more than 130 years. Let's say since the start of the Classical Gold Standard in 1879. Does this sound like hyperbole? Well, let me explain. The Decline and Fall of Capitalist Money The 20th … [Read more...]
It's official: Global economic policy now firmly in the hands of money cranks
The lesson from the events of 2007-2008 should have been clear: Boosting GDP with loose money – as the Greenspan Fed did repeatedly between 1987 and 2005 and most damagingly between 2001 and 2005 when in order to shorten a minor recession it inflated a massive housing bubble – can only lead to short term booms followed by severe busts. A policy of artificially cheapened credit cannot but cause mispricing of risk, misallocation of capital and a deeply dislocated financial infrastructure, all of which will ultimately conspire … [Read more...]
Incredible confusions Part 1: 'Positive Money' and the fallacy of the need for a state money producer
I am usually inclined to encourage the inquiry of the fundamental aspects of money and banking. This is because I tend to believe that only by going back to first principles is it possible to cut through the thicket of widely accepted but deeply flawed theories that dominate the current debate in mainstream media, politics and the financial industry. From my own experience in financial markets I can appreciate how convenient and tempting it is in a business context, where quick and easy communication is of the essence, to … [Read more...]

"But there is no inflation!" – Misconceptions about the debasement of money
"But there is no inflation!" - This is a statement I hear quite often, sometimes from people who are, in principle, sympathetic to my arguments, sometimes from people who are less so. In either case, those who state "but there is no inflation" consider it to be a statement of fact and one that they assume must pose a challenge for me. Should the man who argues that we are heading for the collapse of paper money, for some kind of hyperinflationary endgame, not be concerned that all this money printing by central banks around … [Read more...]

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Delicious baklava, layers of paper-thin filo pastry in syrup, came with sekerpare, a traditional Istanbul dessert like a little oval cookie made of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, melting in the mouth when it combined with the syrup on the plate. The intense sweetness can only be managed with a tiny cup of real Turkish coffee (yes, you can have decaf). All you could wish for is a fortune-teller to read the grounds left in your cup.

Black ice causes truck accident, ink spill in Vt.The Associated Press | February 12,2013Vermont State Police say one lane is open on Route 78 in Alburgh where a tractor-trailer truck crashed on an icy road, spilling barrels carrying black ink.
Route 78 was closed shortly after the crash, reported about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Police say one lane was re-opened at about 8:45 a.m., although it will be several hours before the crash is completely cleaned up.
Police say the driver hit black ice, causing the unit to spin, cross the double yellow line and travel off the shoulder. A load of 50-gallon barrels came out of the back of the trailer.
Police say the ink is inflammable.

PRESCOTT — Murals atop the entrance to Splash Laundry depict a pier and coffee bar, and its amenities indoors and outdoors are without peer.
Splash features a coffee bar, a small play area for children, wireless access, a community garden and houseplants, and offers live music Saturday afternoons.
It offers the amenities in addition to 23 washing machines and 11 driers, dry-cleaning, ironing, alterations and a commercial laundry service for camps, co-owner Rhonda Babbitt said.
Keeping with the theme, Babbitt and business partner Ken Simeral display a surfboard on a wall; the glass front shows designs of seven surfboards.
"I wanted everybody to be comfortable and enjoy it," Babbitt said on a recent afternoon as she darted around the building at North Willow Street. She added she has plans this summer for a sandlot where children can play.
An inscription on the entrance states, "We won't hang you out to dry. Just your clothes."
Babbitt, a lifelong Prescott resident and 1978 graduate of Prescott High School, said she decided to revive the shuttered laundry after her washing machine broke down during the summer of 2008.
She spent the next several weeks visiting nearby laundries, and was not happy with her experiences, according to her brochure for the business.
Babbitt, 51, found out about the availability of the building that opened as laundry more than 50 years ago, and had been condemned.
She added landlord J.T. Purgis planned to convert the 3,200-square-foot building into a warehouse.
She called Simeral, who said he agreed to become her business partner.
Simeral, land and minerals team leader for the Prescott National Forest, said he agreed to in part because his federal government retirement plan was tanking in value during the recession.
The recession made the business venture potentially risky, Babbitt acknowledged.
"This is not something people do with brains," she said in jest.
Babbitt said she replaced an aging boiler, which required removing a wall.
Overall, transforming an old building into a family- and eco-friendly laundry required a lot of investment, Babbitt said.
"It never ends," she said. "You always fix and replace stuff."
Babbitt works there in addition to owning a spa, Body and Sole, with business partner Tammy Thien for eight years.
"We both work like 55 to 60 hours a week," Babbitt said.
Simeral, 58, of Prescott commented, "Splash has been an adventure. We have made a lot of friends and met interesting people."
Customer Dave Perez, an architect, said the pier theme reminded him of the California coast. He earned a degree in economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
He said he plays guitar and also visits Splash to jam with Simeral and other musicians.
Splash, he said, is "just kind of a laid-back place. The Wi-Fi is cool. I can pull up my documents" on the laptop.
Outside, Maggie Dewar, best known as a member of the Mural Mice, tended the community garden, which is on the sides and back of the building. She said she began planting vegetables three weeks ago, and uses horse manure as a fertilizer.
"They are just starting to sprout," Dewar said before riding off on a bicycle.
Splash is sprouting as well.
Babbitt said she enjoys "everything" about the business.
"It's real," she said. "You get to help people. This is nice. This is a good thing. You get to help good people."

KUALA LUMPUR: Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has given his promise that the search for the Flight MH370 will continue despite it having ended in the southern Indian Ocean.
"Words just cannot describe how I feel tonight.
"But I promise you, especially the families of all the passengers, that the search continues," he said on Twitter.
Hishammuddin also called for the privacy of the families of passengers and crew of the jetliner to be respected following the announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that the Boeing 777 had ended its flight in the southern Indian Ocean.
"In these times of grief, I urge the public to give the family members some space, respect their privacy," he said.
He added: "I truly understand there are no words which can console the family members of MH370. The whole world is with you in these difficult times."
At 10pm last night, Najib had announced that British investigators from its UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) have confirmed that the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.
Earlier, Hishammuddin had met lawmakers in Parliament for the first time since the plane disappeared 18 days ago.
Hishammuddin, who is also Defence Minister, faced a barrage of questions from Opposition MPs who claimed that there had been an initial delay and lack of coordination by local authorities.
However, he answered the questions calmly, saying that the Government had been transparent and that it had followed international standard operating procedures on the search and rescue operation.

2 Month Update :)

Here we are in the 10th week, 11 on Saturday, and I've hardly been on at all -_-; Right after Ean was born we were rushing to do Ds Daley's 3rd bday party early since DH was deploying. We did his party and one week later my grandmother had a stroke. She is 93 and has been the picture of perfect health until this. It landed her in a nursing home/rehab. center where a few weeks later she had a 'progression of the initial stroke' whatever that means. Now she is nearly completely incapacitated--can't speak, is paralyzed on the left side, and also can't eat. She didn't want any feeding tubes or interventions so... Effectively we are waiting for her to pass and the past few weeks of dealing with this, visiting her, DH being deployed, having the boys etc have been stressful. I've felt like I've been in a fog with my days disappearing before I know it and I'm often pretty lonely.
Anyway, on the up side, at Ean's 2 month check up he weighed in at a whipping 15 pounds. He is a little short though, only in about the 15% for his height. I just can't believe my breast feeding chunked him up that well. Wow! I attached a pic of him at two months, jowls hanging everywhere LOL! :) I've been so busy I haven't even uploaded any of the pics I've taken in the past few weeks. Forgive me you guys, I promise I'll try and be back soon.

Cute picture :)
So sorry to hear about your grandmother's turn for the worse, and your stress, and your loneliness. I hope you're asking for help and company when and where you need it. You need to make sure to get some time with adults too, even if it's *just* at the playground or chatting with the person at the next table at Starbucks or something... And, of course, you know we're always here for you.

"Looked at the right way, Wikipedia can be a big help in making online readers aware of their library's offerings. One of the things we spend a lot of time on in libraries is organizing information into distinct, conceptual categories. That's what Wikipedia does too: so far, their English edition has over 4 million concepts identified, described, and often populated with reference links. And Wikipedia has encouraged people to add links to relevant digital library collections on various topics, through programs like Wikipedia Loves Libraries and Wikipedian in Residence programs. But while these programs help bring some library resources online, and direct people to those selected resources, there's still a lot of other relevant library material that users can't get to via Wikipedia, but can via the libraries that are near them."

The key point that I want to make in this first of perhaps a few blog posts on all of these ideas is that the human behind the keyboard is just as important if not more important than the keyboard and CPU they wield. It is also important to set forth that cyberspace is only a place in the cognitive dissonance that we are all deluding ourselves into believing. In reality cyberspace is in fact what is between our ears and the internet is a medium with which we fabricate a social contract to communicate with each other, transfer data with, and potentially wage war.

Interesting story from Rutgers University about an academic librarian who is pursuing a study of what happens to children in popular YouTube videos after their fifteen minutes/seconds of fame have ended.
Child-centric viral videos are turning young stars into internet sensations, but a Rutgers–Camden researcher warns against exploiting the children by cashing in on the fame.
"We just don't know what kinds of affect this internet fame will have on these children in the future," says Katie Elson Anderson, a librarian at the Paul Robeson Library on the Rutgers–Camden campus.
Anderson has examined the implications of the YouTube videos for her essay, "Configuring Childhood on the Web," which is featured as a chapter in the book Portrayals of Children in Popular Culture: Fleeting Images (Lexington Books, 2012).
"Viral videos starring children have become a real phenomenon," Anderson says. "David After Dentist," the video in which a father taped his young son dealing with the effects of anesthesia, has been viewed more than 117 million times. "Charlie Bit My Finger," in which a baby boy bites his big brother, has been seen more than 511 million times.
"I think the early videos — the ones with Charlie and David, for example — were organic," Anderson says. "People didn't really know that these videos could become viral. They just posted videos for family. Now, it seems that people are posting videos because they are seeing the fame that can result from it. There's actually money to be made."
Slashdot's great headline "Internet-Deprived Kids Turning To 'McLibraries' 315" for This WSJ Article on the digital divide was great.... "In many communities, after the library and the computer lab close for the night, there is often only one place to turn for students without internet access at home: the local McDonald's."

About ACL
Aerospace Controls Laboratory (ACL)
researches topics related to autonomous systems and control design for aircraft, spacecraft, and ground vehicles. Theoretical research is pursued in areas such as: decision making under uncertainty; path planning, activity and task assignment; estimation and navigation; sensor network design; robust control, adaptive control, and model predictive control. A key part of ACL is
eal-time indoor
ehicle test
vironment), a unique experimental facility that uses a
motion capture sensing to enable rapid prototyping of
flight controllers for helicopters and aircraft; robust coordination algorithms for multiple helicopters; and vision-based sensing algorithms for indoor flight.
The director of the Laboratory is
Dr. Jonathan P. How
who is a Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a B.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1987 and his S.M. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He then studied for two years at MIT as a postdoctoral associate for the Middeck Active Control Experiment (
) that flew on-board the Space Shuttle Endeavour in March 1995
. Prior to joining MIT in 2000, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. He has graduated a total of 25 Ph.D. students while at MIT and Stanford University on topics related to GPS navigation, multi-vehicle control, and robust/hybrid control.
Current research interests include the design and implementation of distributed real-time optimization algorithms to coordinate multiple autonomous vehicles in dynamic uncertain environments; and adaptive flight control to enable autonomous aerobatics. Professor How was the planning and control lead for the
MIT DARPA Urban Challenge
team that placed fourth in the recent race in Victorville, CA. He was the recipient of the 2002 Institute of Navigation
Burka Award
, is the Raymond L. Bisplinghoff Fellow for MIT Aero/Astro Department, is an Associate Fellow of AIAA, and a senior member of IEEE.
