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.

ABC's Lost (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) tied up at least one loose thread when a young Danielle Rousseau and her team fished a water-logged, dehydrated and yet very much alive Jin out of the ocean last week. Will Jin now reunite with Sawyer and the other still-stranded castaways? Will Sun learn her husband is alive before she's gone too far? And just how good is Jin's English these days? Daniel Dae Kim shares a look at the "excellent adventure" to come.
TVGuide.com: That was a very cool reintroduction you got.Daniel Dae Kim: Yeah! I was happy with the way they did that, for sure.
TVGuide.com: What is going through Jin's mind at this moment?Kim: [Laughs] Probably water. Water. Food. I don't think he really cares about anything else. He's probably so dehydrated and dazed that he doesn't have much awareness of what's going on.
TVGuide.com: And without Faraday around to explain to him the time-jumping thing...Kim: I think he's still confused as to how this could be. But you'll see that he goes through his own little "excellent adventure." [Laughs] Like Bill and Ted.
TVGuide.com: I guess that after the freighter explosion, he swam within the radius of the temporal whatnot?Kim: Yeah. Somehow, wherever he landed after the explosion was within the radius of this... phenomenon.
TVGuide.com: Does Jin know enough English at this point to get some answers from his rescuers?Kim: That is a very interesting question. Watching Jin's journey with English over the next few episodes will be very interesting.
TVGuide.com: Even though he's now back on the island, it could be a while before he crosses paths with his friends.Kim: Absolutely. Not only are they all over the island, but they might not be in the same time... zone? Era? Frame? [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: The producers of course played your status very close to the vest. Was it hard going along with that ruse?Kim: Actually, it wasn't. They assured me from the beginning that it didn't mean anything more than exactly what it was: a ruse. I just kept my head down, did my work and let them worry about that stuff.
TVGuide.com: I understand ABC will now "magically" re-insert you back into the Season 5 cast shot?Kim: That's what I'm being told will happen! That's all composited anyway, but I was at that photo shoot. They have singles of me I assume they'll composite back into [the cast photo].
TVGuide.com: Do you think Jin would approve of the mission of vengeance Sun is currently on in the States?Kim: I think that Jin, in his transition to who he is now, would probably make less of a judgment on Sun for anything.
TVGuide.com: Maybe she'll learn that he's alive before she goes too far?Kim: I'm curious to find that out myself. I'd like to see how much of her new personality is because of what she believes happened to Jin, or is it part of a larger growth for her?
TVGuide.com: Is it safe to say they will be reunited by the Season 5 finale?Kim: You know what? I am not sure. We just got the script for [Episode] 13 out of 17. But I think it's inevitable that they're reunited at some point.
TVGuide.com: What else can you tease about Jin's upcoming storyline?Kim: I can say this: He finally has some scenes with characters that he, in five years, has never really interacted with.
TVGuide.com: Are you still on board to star in The King & I in London this June?Kim: Absolutely! I'm working on my singing and the text. I'm excited to do it.
TVGuide.com: I have to laugh at how the instant that news got out last summer, people started "killing Jin off."Kim: [Laughs] It probably went a long way to aid with the ruse!

New Bank Failures: Week of March 30
New bank failures for the week of March 30 include Omni National Bank of Atlanta, the 21st institution to fail this year.
All 46 bank failures since the beginning of 2008 are detailed on TheStreet.com's interactive bank failure map:
For the second straight week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was unable to simply sell a failed institution's deposits to another institution. Instead, SunTrust Bank of Atlanta, held by SunTrust Banks Inc. (STI), agreed to act as paying agent on the behalf of the FDIC receivership.The agreement covers insured retail deposits, which must be withdrawn or transferred to new SunTrust accounts by April 27. There were about $2 million in uninsured deposits which would not be paid out by SunTrust. When a bank or savings and loan institution fails and deposit balances exceeding FDIC insurance limits are not acquired by another institution, depositors become creditors to the FDIC receivership for the amount of their uninsured balances. Any money recovered on these balances is called a "dividend." There were no advance dividends announced for Omni's uninsured depositors in the FDIC's Friday press release. Not surprisingly, states at the center of the residential housing boom have produced the greatest number of failing institutions. Out of 41 bank and thrift failures since the beginning of 2008, nine were in Georgia, eight were in California and four in Florida. Omni was the second-largest Georgia bank to fail during 2008 and 2009. The largest was Integrity Bank of Alpharetta, which has $1.1 billion in total assets when it was shuttered by state regulators on Aug. 29. Integrity's deposits were acquired by Regions Financial (RF). Another significant Georgia failure was Haven Trust Bank of Duluth, which failed on Dec. 12, with deposits acquired by BB&T Corp. (BBT). Omni National was considered significantly undercapitalized as of Dec. 31, per regulatory guidelines and was included in TheStreet.com's updated list of undercapitalized banks, the second list in our recent article focusing on undercapitalized savings and loans. TheStreet.com Ratings issues independent and very conservative financial strength ratings on each of the nation's 8,500 banks and savings and loans. These are available at no charge on the Banks & Thrifts Screener. In addition, the Financial Strength Ratings for 4,000 life, health, annuity, and property/casualty insurers are available on the Insurers & HMOs Screener.

ASE and Sandfield's Primary Science Teach Meet 5th Feb 2014
29 teachers from 22 different schools came along to a Teach Meet held at Sandfield Close Primary School. Sandfield is committed to disseminating good primary science practice, as they received their Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) back in October 2013.
After a fun and interesting warm-up activity involving 30 rubber gloves, Tanya Dempster, ASE rep, explained about the books that would be essential for schools. Roshni Maher, an NQT at Sandfield, led an activity that she had learnt about on a recent course involving using gyroscopes and making spinners for improving investigation skills. Claire Simpson, CPD+, explained about the courses available in the Midlands area. Sarah Eames, Science leader at Sandfield, explained about 'Tinkering Tables', and the importance of exploring, disposable nappies were an interesting example. The Royal Microscopical Society RMS) also lend microscopes and activities to schools and Sarah promoted their use in schools

As long as we're talking about ballot measures today, an initiative that recently filed in Michigan could do for that state what Prop 13 did for California. Specifically, it would restrict any revenue increases to bills that secure a 2/3 vote in the legislature, a virtually impossible scenario, given anti-tax intransigence on the right. Michigan [...]

California Democrats Agree to Majority Vote Budget
|By: David Dayen Tuesday June 28, 2011 7:40 am
After months of futile persuasion, California Gov. Jerry Brown and Democrats in the legislature agreed to a majority budget deal that doesn't increase taxes, which would have required a 2/3 vote. Much of the deal is predicated on the projection of $4 billion in increased revenue from a prior forecast. If the revenue does not [...]
Nothing Brave About Jerry Brown's Budget Approach in California
|By: David Dayen Saturday March 5, 2011 8:58 am
E.J. Dionne had an op-ed this week about how "responsibility equals invisibility." He contrasted the divisiveness of Scott Walker in Wisconsin or John Kasich in Ohio with the more measured approaches of Democratic governors dealing with their budget crises. There is nothing courageous about an ideological governor hacking away at programs that partisans of his [...]

A contender Im currently playin, whom has apparently been thru some degree of trauma himself refered to me as a warrior upon learning of the trauma I've under went. I responded that I've always considered myself a survivor. In lookin back thru the past decades I, perhaps am in some ways a warrior as I myself have, like every one else, have had my trials & tribulations, more than I care to think about. It is only thru the grace of Jesus that I've managed to make it just over half a century of living on this planet. Lookin back, I have in fact overcome some life altering obstacles, many which could have put me in an early grave. My fiance has always reminded me how fortunate I am to even, despite my Arthritis, to even be walking after the trauma I under went because of a drunk driver. "Look at what you have & not what you dont". She constantly reminds me of this, & it is in fact food for thought in a most constructive sense. So I will now consider myself both a Warrior & Survivor as, thanks to Jesus, I've managed both.

Today is the much-anticipated (and by some, much dreaded) 4.0.1 patch day for WoW. Extended server downtime/maintenance. It's the day all us junkies and addicts and addicts-in-denial sit at our computers refreshing WoW Insider or the official server status page, message boards or Twitter to find out when our realms are back up.
Okay, I try to not be THAT bad, although some people get so bad that they're like the people who threw hissy fits the night Starbucks all across the country closed for a few hours, just because they couldn't get their sugar-laden caffeine fixes.
I suspect I'll be doing my share of refreshing Twitter or using the talent calculators to work out my I'm-SO-happy-to-go-back-to-Fire spec.
But there are plenty of things I can do in the meantime...
-I have those few bills sitting on my desk that I want to pay before we leave for BlizzCon next week.
-Which reminds me, I need to transfer some money to The Guy's account for the trip.
-I need to make a grocery list and hit the grocery store. This is keeping in mind our new food goals and eating habits that we want to start up so we're acclimated when we get back from Anaheim.
-I have posts I want to make to our guild Game On blog: "Water: It does a body good", "Why 5 mini-meals?" "No alcohol? Are you CRAZY?!" and "Freezing rice to save time."
-I need to add a page of sub-rules to the Game on the blog, and update the players.
-I need to do at least 1 load of laundry.
-I need to do the dishes (finish filling the dishwasher, run it, and wash the pots and pans in the sink)
-I need to take the garbage out. I also need to do some exercise...I'm thinking I can combine a 20-minute walk with the garbage run to get in some daily exercise.
-I gotta find my appointment card for my facial tomorrow so I remember what time it is. >.>
Not to mention the usual tasks of cooking, eating, showering, etc.
Hmmm...looking at this list, I DO hope that the servers are down for most of the day!
A little more about me, what I'm doing, and why I'm doing this, that is! I'll write more serious posts later. ^_^
Growing up, I was always fairly skinny. I had some thickness in my body here and there through high school, but I still weighed in between 120-130, and I was active and on the athletic side (swimming, marching band, etc.). I wore a size 6 or size 8 depending on the cut/brand. I've always had hips, so no matter how skinny I was, I needed the size for my curves. I liked my body. I think it was like a Catherine Zeta-Jones type of figure.
When I got to college, I joined the crew team. Instead of GAINING the "Freshman 15" I LOST it. I think I got down to 115 (saw that number on a scale when we went on a regatta and we all had to weigh in for category placement: featherweight, lightweight, heavyweight), but since I didn't have a scale in my dorm room I didn't know or keep track of my weight. I just remember my parents visiting for Parent's Weekend, and in that mad scramble for finding something to wear, I grabbed a pair of jeans I had in my closet. I remember putting them on, pausing, looking down, and being pleased. My mom even commented that I had lost weight. "Mom," I said, "I haven't been able to wear these jeans for 2 years. I'm not sure why I brought them, but I think it worked out for the best!" That felt GOOD.
My weight fluctuated during college. Because I was one of the smaller girls, I was moved to coxswain during my sophomore year. Problem was that I continued eating like a rower, but I was no longer rowing!
My "senior" year (I was a 4 1/2 year student) was spent in Paris. The summer before my trip, I got up to 150. I managed to shed about 10 pounds before I left, but I risked putting it back on. However, I did the opposite. Since I was walking ALL the time (in heeled boots! Carrying a large laptop!) and took SOME care in watching what I ate, I shed the weight and got back down to 115. I looked AMAZING. I knew it, too. I felt confident and unstoppable.
The next several months made a grand attempt to stop me, too. My mom died of breast cancer the summer I got back, about 3 weeks after my 22nd birthday. I went back to school (out of state), and my boyfriend--who had admitted he had cheated on me--dumped me a month after my mom died, and then basically told everyone that I was sleeping around on him all summer. Thing was, it was jealousy. He had that "She can have any guy she wants, so she's going to leave me...better invent some reason to leave her first and spare yourself the pain" jealousy thing going on because he knew I was turning heads.
Being in a fragile enough state from losing my mom, I was not able to confront and correct his lies. Which many of my "friends" took as consent, since I wasn't denying anything he said. You know, "friends" like that aren't worth keeping. I STILL didn't let it get me down too much, held my head high, and had te best semester of my college career to honor my mother's memory.
Fast forward...
Life after college wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. I graduated with my degree in French and Business, and wanted to become a corporate buyer (make use of the international business program I took part in), and I was particularly interested in the fashion industry. Problem? No retail experience. Sure, I worked front-end at a grocery store, and later in an aviary for a vet/bird store when I was in high school, but that's not the same. So I had to first get a job in retail.
The first retail job I had was for a large corporate chain of trendy clothes that had a "work your way up the corporate ladder" program. However, my store was in a mall that was going out of business (there was a new mall being built) so we had limited training and hours because we were pretty much one big clearance rack.
The second retail job I had was for 3 1/2 years for a smaller company that sold high-end women's clothing, but I was in the outlet store. I got to assistant manager, and even temped as the store manager (I won't go into the "office" politics), but there was no breaking into corporate there either.
My next job was marketing manager of a small start-up. When that job fizzled, I became a contractor for an email-marketing project for a fairly significant IT company. That job was a dream...it mixed my love of marketing with international business and my hobby of website creation.
It had a negative impact on my weight, though. When I worked in retail I was on my feet 8+ hours per day. If I wasn't selling, I was cleaning, handling shipping, stocking...you name it. It was still very active. But out of retail in the tech industry, I had a more sedentary lifestyle. Before I started that particular job (while I was still with the start-up) I managed to get back to 150. 154 to be exact, but that was also with winter clothes on. That was when I tried Weight Watchers.
I went to WW with a friend, and for a while it worked. I tried to get The Guy to follow the WW rules/Points system too, but he has a tendency to "bend" the rules when he hasn't officially agreed to them. (In all honesty, I think he's just embarrassed about the idea of admitting he has a weight problem to strangers...he has a hard enough time talking about it with me.) My friend also began to "bend" the rules, citing her vegetarian diet as her reason to go to the meetings but not really follow either plan. She wanted to do a diet she did before that worked really well, except when she did that she was like me when I was in Paris by walking/biking all over the city she was living in at the time.
So I understand that Weight Watchers DOES work for many people. We did really like our group meeting leader person, but unfortunately so did a LOT of other people. You know how if you have a large group of people, the more likely you are to have some people in the crowd who annoy you? Yeah, we had them. We had a couple women who wouldn't let anyone else get a word in (even the leader had to interrupt them all the time), you had the few that spewed misinformation, you had the Product Placement Girls (the ones who found a New Miracle Drink to replace their Red Bull habit and was also sugar-free and we should all try it!...turned out they were selling it through a pyramid scheme type business), you had the ones who wouldn't stop asking questions...you get the idea.
So between losing my motivation and support from my friend as well as the large crowd at our favorite WW meeting time, we stopped going. I had gotten down to 143 or so.
We later tried going to a gym together, but once again my friend "made up her own rules." It was one of those circuit gyms like Curves, and we arranged to go to this particular gym because it was about halfway between our homes, and on her way to work. She soon started "not doing the circuit" because she "wanted to do her own plan," then started oversleeping, then told me that she just wasn't going to show up.
Um, yeah. For many other reasons, we don't talk anymore.
So back to the sedentary lifestyle...despite my best efforts, during and between those two jobs, I ballooned to about 195. Finally, in the beginning of 2008, I had enough. That February/March The Guy and I decided to give Nutrisystem a try. It. Worked. I discovered a lot more about portion control since it was a better introduction to measuring, I liked the program, and the food was decent. By my 30th birthday (in June) I had dropped about 30 pounds and was still going strong.
Then my dad got sick. He went into the hospital for a "stomach problem" (just imagine the worst constipation coupled with nausea you can think of), and when they operated to investigate the block, it was discovered that he had very advanced, very aggressive cancer. Thing was, he had been to the doctors before and they couldn't find anything wrong. He had been traveling so they suggested maybe a parasite. Nothing was turning up. But the location of the cancer is what made it so difficult to diagnose. We were told that even if he had all the tests done, they still probably wouldn't have been able to catch it until it was at this stage. The first diagnosis was colon cancer, starting where the big and little intestines meet (around the appendix area), but it was spread in such a way that it MIGHT have also been pancreatic...see what I mean? In the end, we just had to call it "abdominal cancer" because they couldn't figure out the exact starting point. At that point, it didn't matter. Dad didn't make it to 4 months after he was diagnosed.
This time, I crumbled. Work was stressful (more office politics), the family stuff was stressful, I lost my job after the holidays (I did a good job with my project to the point that the different departments all wanted control of their piece of the pie, but no one wanted to pay for a contractor), my grandfather died, my pets died (I had pet rats, and they lived out full lives, but it was still a bad time to lose THEM too), the differences between my brother and I came to a head where I no longer talk to him, my fiance lost his job...it was a never-ending series of events that made it hard to even get out of bed some days.
All the weight I lost? It came right back. I was 195 before...I know at one point during this new peak I saw the scale hit about 198.8. I was NOT happy to see that number. (I never did see it tip 200. I'm glad about that.)
This year I became determined to turn things around.
A friend of mine and I began talking about getting into shape. My friend played football in high school and intramural football in college, so he had been very fit. He was blessed to have the naturally athletic-skinny body so he wanted to put some muscle back on, but he understood how I wanted to turn things around again. And he's the right kind of motivation for me. As much as my fiance is a good person, his methods of "motivation" just didn't work as well as our friend's methods.
So my friend and I made a pact to start getting back in shape and bettering ourselves. We started on June 1 by eating healthy and exercising. I got back down to where I am now...180. (Technically I weighed in at 179.4, but I had some "tummy trouble" yesterday, so I think I'm probably dehydrated and stuff too.)
We've been slacking, but despite our MUCH BETTER SUPPORT than I've experienced in, well, forever, we discovered we mere missing something to keep us going. Recently, one of our other friends discovered the Game On! Diet plan, which is basically turning getting healthy (not JUST losing weight, because someone like Leo doesn't need to lose any weight) into a fun competition. We decided it would be a lot of fun to do with members of our WoW (yes, we're World of Warcraft gamers) guild. Everyone could benefit from becoming healthier, especially with the holidays looming around the corner, but we're also a competitive group of people. One of the stipulations of the Game On program is that you work in teams, and that there's a prize at the end.
Teamwork is great...it's what we've been doing all along. It's what you do at Weight Watchers meetings, it's what The Guy and I would do to each other to follow our Nutrisystem plan, it's what Leo and I were doing since June. But positive motivation only works so well. Even if there's a prize at the end when you reach your goal, it's easy to say, "Meh, I'm tired...I'll exercise twice as hard tomorrow."
What I like about the Game On! system is that it also has a NEGATIVE motivation: Losing to the other team. If you slack during the week, even during the day, you lose points, which brings your team's points down, and in the end you might end up owing the other team 5000 in-game gold or might be stuck farming up rare pets. Because the prize has to be something you want to WIN and also something you DON'T want to LOSE!
It should be fun!
So yeah, that's where I am now. We're going to start our competition in about 2 weeks. SparkPeople should be able to help keep me on track because I do better with the types of tools it offers. I'm working on figuring out meal options so we can come back from California and jump right in.
I had really wanted to go to BlizzCon this year in costume, but I really didn't want to take the time to make a great costume while feeling like a blob underneath it. Next year, though...NEXT YEAR I will be rocking the midriff-baring costumes I have the material for!
"Just a quick post." Watch, there will be NOTHING quick about this!
So, why SparkPeople? Well, I had downloaded the app to my iPad as a way to count calories and track my exercise and water. I had another app that was a decent calorie counter, but I wanted to give something a little more robust a try.
The app itself is okay. It's buggy, can crash, and can be slow. The food database is pretty good, though, and I liked that it actually had a meal plan to go with it. However, I found another problem with the meal plan: It showed you the foods involved in your planned meals, but never said what those meals actually were supposed to be. So a list of foods involving a cup of beans, some rice, some veggies, and a flour tortilla...well, you can assume it's a veggie burrito or something, but what about the random fruit that's also listed? I figured it was time to check out the website...
Now the website, combined with the app, I LIKE. I like having the meal plans and exercise log and everything at my fingertips. I like that it's integrated with the app so I can track my foods and water and exercise on the go. I like that the meal plans have a recipe along with a food list, as well as a weekly grocery shopping list! All the things the app was missing as a stand-alone tool suddenly made more sense!
This said, I may not follow the meal plan perfectly. I would like to, but I have The Guy to worry about. And he gets fussy when I set off into diet land and try to encourage him to join too, but he never does. We're actually organizing a Game On! Diet with some friends, because I can at least get him to agree with that. My plan? To work with the Sparkpeople meal plans in conjunction with the Game On! meal plan to strike a happy balance that The Guy can agree to. I think working with the two meal plans should be easy enough, it's getting him to not act like a big baby about it or to "make his own rules." He does that.
Anyway, I think SparkPeople will help my own motivation as well as our friends who are doing Game On! with us. Even if they don't join (we're starting in 2 weeks after BlizzCon--and if I like SparkPeople in those 2 weeks I'll be sending them here) at least I might see something that is useful and motivates me that I want to pass along to them.
I'm really excited about this. I do well with structure and plans, and I do well with tools like journals to jot down my thoughts (it's why I have no fewer than 3 journal/diary apps on my iPad!) and articles to read. I do well when I'm motivated. Well, I feel motivated now...time to make some changes.

Against the backdrop of BJP opposing resumption of dialogue with Pakistan, senior party leader L K Advani on Monday said terrorism and Kashmir are �festering sores to this day� due to �mishandling� of Pakistan by Jawaharlal Nehru.
�His (Nehru�s) mishandling of Pakistan has left terrorism and Kashmir as two festering sores for our body politic right up to this day,� Advani wrote in his blog.
His comments come a day after the BJP asked the government not to go ahead with the Foreign Secretary-level talks slated to be held here on February 25, saying �terror and talks� cannot go together and �not talking� is also a diplomatic option.
Advani quotes extensively from a recent work of renowned editor Fareed Zakaria in his blog to accuse Nehru of having pursued a weak foreign policy towards Pakistan and China, in whose favour he refused a permanent seat in the UN Security Council for India.
�There can hardly be a more glaring instance of Nehruji�s unconcern for India�s own strategic interests than his refusal to accept a US offer in 1952 of a permanent seat in the UN Security Council. He insisted that the seat be given to China,� Advani said.
�Sadly, the shock that Nehru suffered when confronted by China�s gross betrayal in 1962 virtually cost him his life,� he said.

.- The orthodox, independent Catholic Action Group (CAG) has denounced a recent report by the pro-abortion Catholics for Free Choice that inaccurately represents CAG's three spokespersons. The report also labeled the CAG as conservative and right wing. "If our message appears extreme, it is because modernist Catholics have become de-sensitized from the truths our Church has always taught," the CAG said in a written statement.
"Whilst CAG is pro-life, apart from this, it is not politically or party motivated," said CAG secretary Robert Williams. "A conservative or right wing label, only valid for politics is therefore inappropriate. We totally reject such labeling...we are simply orthodox."
Williams questioned why the group has not been disciplined by the bishops if they are truly so out of line with the Catholic mainstream.
Recently, the CAG has campaigned against Joint Religious Education schools, issued a UK Voters Guide for Catholics and has promoted Catholic boycotts of CAFOD for its controversial HIV/AIDS-ABC policy and Comic Relief for its funding of pro-abortion organizations.

Waiting for the pics to come on
Mr.Drinky, I will send you a pm.
"If theres something worth doing, its worth overdoing. - An US saying.

I'll be interested to see the end products. Especially if you have a stainless/semi-stainless/clad, suji haha.
Marko, I'm also interested in hearing your thoughts on the geometry of the Yoshikane knives. I've heard good things about them, so I wanted to know what you found to be the problem. Send me a PM if you get a chance.
And good luck with making your own knives! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Put me on you list for a Shigifusa clone in 52100. I've been tempted to get a Shigi for the geometry, but I'm not willing to put up with the reactivity. 52100 should be a winner.
"Experience" is what you get when you don't get what you want.
Cool. I'll start saving up haha
Hey Marko, this is exciting news and I can be happy about it because I already got a rehandled shige from you! I think you've got the right perfectionist mindset to start making sone great knives - especially if you've figured out the magic shige grind. Sign me up!

GLEN COVE, NY—They seem to be invading... shopping carts ditched on street corners, and abandoned in neighborhoods.
It's not only a quality of a life issue in Glen Cove, but it's costing tax payers.
Suozzi went on to say city employees wind up leaving their duties to retrieve abandoned carts, sometimes as many as 60 a week
It's a growing problem that is plaguing neighborhoods all over Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn.
"There are so many shopping carts all over Sheepshead Bay." said Ray Johnson associate editor of the Brooklyn website www.sheepsheadbites.com she writes about, and photographs the problem, even gives voices to the forgotten baskets.
"I felt in tune with those shopping carts some of them felt so lonely they looked so sad and they were just sitting on the street corner." Johnson told PIX 11 News with a giggle.
In Glen Cove it is illegal to take a shopping cart off the supermarket's property, the fine can be as steep as $250 dollars, but the mayor says he doesn't want to go after the people taking the carts, instead he wants the stores to keep a better eye on where their carts are going."
"I really think the businesses should step up to the plate and send on of their dozens of employees out."
Some supermarkets are now contracting out, business rolling for T.B. cart which services about 60 grocery stores a week from Staten Island to Montauk.

There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit men to do.Marquis De Vauvenargues
NO CHALLENGE, NO CHANGE ! Forget the no pain no gain thing. If it's pain, then STOP! I made up the phrase 'no challenge no change' over 15 years ago when I realized it was not the pain that made one change, but the challenge that was overcome. It started out with references to working out and then I realized I could apply that idea to every part of my life, including motherhood, relationships, school, work, etc. I will continue to live by this phrase and hope to instill it in my daughter as well. It has gotten me through so many hard times, including divorce, losing my mom 3 years ago, and while being in school for the last 7 years... getting closer to that PhD every semester. There have been an insane amount of challenges I have dealt with in my life, so my goal is that the changes that result will in turn have an insane impact, not only on myself, but my daughter, and everyone I come into contact withRobin Akawi
For me it was just exciting to see fake news catching on like that. We don't… you know, it's interesting. I think we don't make things up. We just distill it to, hopefully, its most humorous nugget. And in that sense it seems faked and skewed just because we don't have to be subjective or pretend to be objective. We can just put it out there.Jon Stewart

To suggest at a time when the American economy is at long-wave highs of income and wealth inequality, when corporate profits' share of national product is at record levels and most occupations' wages are sinking, when total non-financial indebtedness--household, business and government--is at long-wave highs relative to product exceeding those of 1929, in short, when America is on the verge of a debt deflation in which the innocent, trying-to-keep-up debt-indentured serfs will be led to slaughter by their corporation-looting masters, ie, the corporate ruling class that owns most everything as the result of their having successfully defrauded shareholders and employees of their fair shares of corporate wealth--to suggest at a time like this, when even the fundamental value of a college education itself should be questioned (wasn't a liberal education really a class marker? who will be able to afford college in a few years anyway, and why go when you stand a better chance of getting a good-paying job with a technical degree?)--at a time like this, when those at the bottom of the pecking order are already sucking wind, to suggest that we pile more debt onto the backs of our children (who will have to deal with the most unfavorable dependency ratio in modern history once the Boomers begin to wither, on top of the Boomers' profligate government borrowing)--to even contemplate making such a suggestion at this time is truly perverse blame-the-victim social-Darwinian externality-ignoring right-wing reactionary venom at its most poisonous. Yes, the liberals have done their best to ruin the educational system in America, but let's not let the conservatives pile on to kill it. We need to let someone else into the corridors of power in the next generation besides the glib fatuous rich kids currently populating America's elite colleges. Really smart kids need to be supported better than they are today.Comment originally posted on December 9, 2006 8:26 PM
Gary Becker and Richard Posner are discussing American student loans. To Europeans, who pay only nominal tuition, and often get student stipends besides, this is an odd discussion. Yet, as Mr Becker points out:
How big a burden is the average loan for college graduates who take loans, which is about $15,000 to $20,000? The net present value of the earnings of typical graduates of four-year colleges over their lifetimes after discounting future earnings and subtracting out tuition and other costs has been shown to be over $300,000 more than what high school graduates earn. Even a $20,000 student loan debt is small relative to such a large benefit. Put differently, if the only way to go to college would be to borrow $20,000 under a student loan program at the prevailing 7 per cent interest rate on these loans, the returns from college to a typical graduate would be big enough to allow the borrower to pay off the loan and have a lot left over.
Of course, as he points out, there is big variation within that $300,000 . . . teachers make much less than investment bankers. But even a teacher in an average area has a much better standard f living than the people without a college degree . . . much more than the $240 a month he or she pays on their student loan. Their resentment over the cost of their loans springs from comparing their own income with that of more lucratively remunerated classmates, not with the alternatives they would have faced had they not gone to college.
Mr Becker suggests that America might look into pegging repayment to the student's subsequent income, rather than the amount they borrowed. But this blunts a valuable market signal, which is trying to tell college students that society would rather they become engineers than spend their first ten years out of college selling shoes and labouring over a permanently unfinished novel about a college graduate who doesn't have time to complete his novel because he is too busy selling shoes.
Indeed, its possible that college doesn't cost students enough. One of my favourite professors said to me, just before I graduated from a very expensive institution of American higher learning, "Why is it that you all spend so much time trying to make sure that you get as little as possible for your $100,000?" The answer is that since we mostly weren't paying for it, we didn't value it very highly. Speaking as one who majored in 17th century British satirists (the deficits in my economic education were made up in graduate school), I imagine that tens of thousands of dollars of worth of outstanding loans might have had a wonderfully focusing effect on my mind. It certainly did on my classmates and me when we were in graduate school.
Perhaps instead of looking for ways to make education cheaper, America should require its college students to assume a substantial portion of their tuition as loans. This would have another salutory effect: it would put the children of the middle class in at least somewhat the same position as the less affluent students who compete with them for places.

|Jimmy Carter Work Project 2003
As crews wrapped up work Tuesday afternoon at the three Jimmy Carter Work Project sites, overall project coordinator Kevin Campbell was pleased with the construction progress. "It's looking good for on-time completion on Friday afternoon at all three sites," he said.
A recap of the day's events:
Anniston, Ala.Tuesday in Anniston was filled with men and women in hardhats and tool belts crawling across rooflines and others installing front porch awnings and railings as building continued at a rapid pace. Crews also began to install the vinyl siding on the houses; many houses had the benefit of professional expertise from volunteers from the Vinyl Siding Institute.
Just before noon, the call went out over the intercom: "We have only an hour to get the houses ready for the drywall crew!" Crews already at lunch quickly returned to their houses, and crews still working committed not to eat until their houses were ready and waiting for the Sheetrock.
As professional crews hung drywall inside, the volunteers braved the hot sun, working to stay on track as they near the midway point of the week.
From a construction standpoint, the houses proceeded on schedule, with many houses completing the roof and siding installation. Volunteers and homeowners gathered in front of their houses for photos but quickly jumped back to work.
At a press conference after lunch, Carter commented on the depth of pride created by the effort of building a Habitat house: "We have never seen a Habitat house, even one 20 years old, with a broken window or the lawn grown up in weeds."
Valdosta, Ga.As Day 4 broke on the Valdosta site, siding hugged the walls on a few of the houses. The rest had their own vinyl sweaters by day's end.
Affiliate executive director Ralph Jackson said construction was maybe a few hours behind by late afternoon Tuesday but that, with the help of Tuesday evening's "elf crew," construction would be entirely on schedule when full volunteer crews returned Wednesday morning.
Volunteers should be ready to start painting today and will carry on with cabinets and countertop work.
What does it take to build 92 houses?
Aside from a lot of hard work, building the 92 houses in Anniston, LaGrange and Valdosta this week will take:
3,852,680 nails
55,200 pieces of lumber
2,576 roofing trusses
2,760 tubes of caulk
736 rolls of roofing felt
194,672 square feet of insulation
920 windows
1,104 doors
644 sets of mini-blinds
9,568 sheets of drywall
94,576 square feet of floor tile and/or carpeting
4,600 gallons of paint
767 Whirlpool appliances
140,000 hours donated by volunteers
38,916 sweat-equity hours completed by homeowners

A recent post at the AEI website gives us another glimpse into the mind of Marc Thiessen, the Cheney family publicist. He notes a story running in the Washington Post concerning Jennifer Lynne Matthews, the CIA chief at the forward base that was tragically struck by a double-agent suicide bomber, leaving seven Americans dead. Then comes this rhetorical twist:
in the eyes of the American Civil Liberties Union and the United Nations, this makes Matthews not a hero, but a murderer. According to the ACLU, Matthews was engaged in a "program of long-premeditated and bureaucratized killing" and that "violates international law." According to the UN special rapporteur, her actions "constitute extrajudicial executions." In fact, neither is true. Matthews was not a war criminal; she was a patriot who gave her life so that the rest of us can live safe from terror. She deserves better.
I agree with the last comment. She deserves better. In fact she and her family deserve an apology from the craven Marc Thiessen, who is trying to exploit their memory for his own cheap political purposes.
I just conducted a lengthy interview with the UN rapporteur, Philip Alston, after reviewing his report. Has he ever said that Jennifer Matthews was a "war criminal"? Of course not. His criticism was not targeted at CIA agents operating under difficult conditions in the field. In fact, he had some compliments for the work they were doing—noting that the targeting in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area seemed to be improving, and agreeing that the United States had legitimate targets in this area. His argument seems far too subtle for a mind like Thiessen's—it is that the drones, when deployed as lethal weapons in a theater of war, should be operated by the uniformed military, applying the law of armed conflict rules that they train to. He is not saying that the use of drones is per se unlawful, and he is agreeing that drones may be used in a war setting against an enemy that embraces terrorist tactics.
That's far from saying that the CIA has no legitimate role to play. In fact, logically extended it comes to just the opposite view: the intelligence gathering function is critical. What matters is that the targets are legitimate targets and that the harm a strike presents to innocent civilians is kept to a minimum. Thiessen, as usual, reduces a nuanced critique of tactics and legal policy to infantile gibberish.
The flip side is Thiessen's use of the concept of "war criminals." There is a shrill aspect to these words, conjuring as they invariably do recollections of the Nuremberg Tribunals. But it's a simple fact that grave breaches of the laws of armed conflict occur in virtually every sustained conflict. They are in a sense a universal phenomenon associated with warfare. Countries whose armed forces are committed to observing the laws of war and who have honorable traditions commit war crimes, even if not with the frequency or gravity of those countries whose armed forces hold the laws of war in contempt. The key distinction is what happens after those crimes occur. A country that's serious about upholding its commitments conducts a proper investigation and brings charges. A country that flouts them would be more inclined to argue that it "shouldn't look back."
Contrary to Thiessen's dichotomy of "patriots" versus "war criminals," these concepts are by no means opposites, as Conor Friedersdorf notes. Some notorious war criminals have been sadistic monsters, but others have been convinced that they were doing exactly what the interests of their nation and their government required. The question is what values their patriotism upholds. For George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Dwight Eisenhower there was a clear answer: rigorous adherence to the laws of war is part of what defines America, and the American commitment to the law of war is essential to the evolution and success of the law of war on the international stage. Marc Thiessen has a radically different understanding, of course.
Thiessen writes:
the ceremony at CIA headquarters also honored others killed at the base in Afghanistan, including Darren LaBonte, 35; Elizabeth Hanson, 31, an analyst; Harold Brown Jr., a retired Army officer from Fairfax; Scott Michael Roberson, a former narcotics officer from Atlanta; Jeremy Wise, a former Navy Seal from Virginia Beach; Dane Clark Paresi, a former Special Forces soldier from Dupont, Washington; and several others killed elsewhere on clandestine missions in recent years. These individuals—and all the men and women of the CIA—deserve our respect and gratitude for the sacrifices they make to protect us from harm. Every American should take a moment to remember those secret warriors who gave up their futures so that we could enjoy ours—and to say a prayer for the families they left behind, who will never fully know their achievements, and continue to mourn an unbearable loss.
I agree with Thiessen that those who serve selflessly and at great personal risk in the nation's interest deserve our support and respect. But using their names and memories for cheap partisan attacks is not the way to show it.

Boeing Beats Estimates on Strong Sales
CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- Boeing (BA) beat earnings estimates, crediting strong sales of both commercial and defense aircraft, and said its order book grew by $25 billion.
The company said it earned $837 million, or $1.12 a share, in the third quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had estimated $1.06. Revenue rose 2% to $17 billion. Analysts had estimated $16.8 billion.
In the same quarter a year earlier, Boeing lost $1.6 billion, equivalent to a loss of $2.23 a share, as it booked losses related to delays in development of the 787 and 747-800.
Looking ahead, the company boosted full-year guidance to between $3.80 and $4 a share as a result of the stronger outlook for commercial aircraft sales. Analysts had been estimating $3.96. Boeing also said it expects full-year operating cash flow to exceed $1.5 billion, while revenue would fall between $64.5 billion and $65.5 billion. Analysts were estimating $64.5 billion."Our results and revised outlook reflect the continued strong performance of our commercial production and services programs and the ability of our defense businesses to produce solid results in a challenging environment," said CEO Jim McNerney, in a prepared statement. "Orders were particularly encouraging, with a multi-year production contract for 124 F/A-18 aircraft and more than 200 net commercial airplane orders booked in the quarter." Boeing's backlog increased to $321 billion. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. . >To contact the writer of this article, click here:
