About all that's changed is that the little cottage has become a comfortable, spacious house, offering warm and friendly hospitality. You can Bed & Breakfast here, or take the Cottage or the adjacent River Suite for a self-catering holiday.
And the valley once associated with war is now a place of peace. The sun still pours in the front windows. And the river - still soothes the mind and helps you drift off to sleep- perhaps to dream of kingfishers, salmon, or the buzzards that circle the sky by day. Oh yes, the private lane is tarmacced now – but the nearest house is still almost a mile away ! On the other hand, Edinburgh is closer than it was, now less than an hour, and it's an easy drive to most of those abbeys and stately homes, gardens and golf courses that make the Scottish Borders so appealing.
For a night, a few days, or a week of refreshing peace and quiet, come and 'enjoy your stay'

The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes four data measures—labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate—on a monthly basis for approximately 7,400 subnational areas. (See labor force concepts.) Data for about one percent of the LAUS areas are model-based. These model-based areas include all census regions and divisions, the 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, CA Metropolitan Division and New York city, NY, and a handful of other large metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions and associated balance-of-state areas.
For the LAUS model-based areas, BLS obtains estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older, which is the universe for labor force data, from the Census Bureau. These population estimates are used to adjust labor force level (that is, number-of-person) measures to be consistent with the Census Bureaus most up-to-date information on the distribution of population across states. Labor force level measures for all LAUS areas are controlled to the Census Bureaus statewide estimates of civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older through a process of additivity. (See the page on LAUS estimation methodology, and particularly the section on substate labor market areas, for more on additivity.) These Census Bureau population data also allow BLS to calculate labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios for the LAUS model-based areas.
The statewide data files below include monthly estimates of civilian noninstitutional population, labor force participation rates, and employment-population ratios for the 50 states and the District of Columbia from January 1976 forward. Data are presented on both seasonally-adjusted and not-seasonally-adjusted bases. Series for civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older are not available on a seasonally-adjusted basis. Thus, the statewide population estimates are the same in both sets of monthly data files. Differences between monthly seasonally-adjusted and not-seasonally-adjusted labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios are determined by the seasonal components of the LAUS labor force and employment levels, respectively. Similarly, the standard error measures associated with the labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios for the current month are determined by the standard errors on the corresponding LAUS level measures. Error measures for current unemployment rates, by contrast, reflect standard errors of the underlying employment and unemployment levels.
At the beginning of each year, the four LAUS measures are typically revised for the previous five years as updated inputs to the models become available. For the latest annual processing cycle, both smoothed-seasonally-adjusted data and not-seasonally-adjusted data for all model-based areas were revised back to January 2009 on February 28, 2014. The Census Bureau estimates of civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older are each year revised back to the base period for post-censal estimation, currently April 2010. Changes to not-seasonally-adjusted labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios from January 2009 forward reflect model-based reestimation of the underlying labor force and employment levels. Changes to smoothed-seasonally-adjusted labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios from January 2009 forward reflect model-based reestimation and re-seasonal adjustment of the underlying labor force and employment levels. Changes to both not-seasonally-adjusted and smoothed-seasonally-adjusted rates and ratios from April 2010 forward reflect, in addition, the updated estimates of civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older.
The civilian noninstitutional population consists of persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities and homes for the aged) and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces. California is the most populous State, with about 29.7 million persons in this category in 2013; Wyoming is the least populous State, with approximately 450,000 persons.
Employment consists of all persons who, during the reference week (the calendar week including the twelfth day of the month), (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family, or (b) were not working but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Employment in 2013 ranged from 16.9 million in California down to 292,000 in Wyoming.
Unemployment consists of all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed. The extremes in 2013 were represented by California (1.7 million) and North Dakota (12,000).
The civilian labor force consists of all persons classified as employed or unemployed as described above. California (18.6 million) and Wyoming (306,000) had the largest and smallest labor force levels, respectively, in 2013.
The labor force participation rate represents the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. This measure of labor force activity grew from about 60 percent nationally in 1970 to about 67 percent in 2000, with much of the increase resulting from increased participation by women. In 2013, the participation rates ranged across States from 72.0 percent in Nebraska to 53.5 percent in West Virginia.
The employment-population ratio represents the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population that is employed. Some analysts prefer this measure over the unemployment rate as a measure of economic activity and the economys performance. North Dakota and West Virginia had the extreme employment-population ratios in 2013, 69.4 and 50.1 percent, respectively.
The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. Unemployment rates move inversely with the business cycle, sometimes with a lag. In 2013, unemployment rates ranged from a low of 2.9 percent in North Dakota to a high of 9.8 percent in Nevada.

#57 Marquette Golden Eagles CUSA 2003-04: 19-12, 8-8, 8th 2003-04 postseason: NIT By Joel Welser
Travis Diener didn't get too much help last year, which resulted in the Golden Eagles disappointing 8th place finish in the conference. Along with Diener; Steve Novak and Dameon Mason provide a solid returning nucleus for Tom Crean's squad. Other players need to become scorers. Guard Joe Chapman has the ability and senior forwards Todd Townsend and Marcus Jackson may see an increased role this year. Who's Out: Scott Merritt, a 6-10 forward, averaged 11.2 points and a team high 7.1 rebounds last year. He was a consistent scorer throughout his career at Marquette and some newcomers will have to try and take his place. Terry Sanders is another forward who will be tough to replace. Sanders averaged 6.4 points and 4.6 rebounds as a senior. Karon Bradley didn't see many minutes as a sophomore, despite playing in 26 games. The 5-11 guard is transferring to Wichita State. Carlton Christian is transferring to Central Florida after his freshman campaign at Marquette. The 6-5 guard averaged just 7.7 minutes in 22 games last season. Who's In: All three of the newcomers should see some quality minutes in the frontcourt. They need to step up and help replace the absent Merritt and Sanders. Ousmane Barro can put up Merritt-like rebounding numbers. At 6-10 and 230 pounds, he can battle underneath the basket for the tough rebounds. Barro lacks game experience, but his work ethic will make him an impact player in the long run. Ryan Amoroso, at 6-8 and 240, is another big man who could help out immediately. He isn't the most athletic player on the floor, but is a solid scorer. Amoroso's range is proficient for a man his size and he'll step back behind the arc without a problem. He needs to get stronger in order to battle under the basket. After redshirting at Rice because of an injury as a freshman, Mike Kinsella played at Minneapolis Tech for a year before heading to Milwaukee. The 7-footer averaged 17.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks at Minneapolis Tech last year and is expected to step in immediately for the Golden Eagles. Who to Watch: Travis Diener and Steve Novak will be solid players as they have proven over the last couple years. The key will be sophomore swingman Dameon Mason. Last year the 6-5 Aurora, Illinois native averaged 9.0 points and 4.5 rebounds. Mason started the last 17 games for Tom Crean and was becoming a major player for Marquette. Mason scored in double digits in 11 of the last 18 games of the season and is poised to continue that success. Mason scored the eighth most points as a freshman in Marquette history. Everybody will know Dameon's name in a year or two. Projected Conference Rank: Travis Diener will do his best as a senior to make another trip to the big dance. Getting 6th place in the conference is an improvement and enough to be on the bubble come February. A lot will depend on the freshmen though and the Golden Eagles could be back in the NIT once again. Projected Post-season Tournament: NIT

Aire induces the expression of a battery of peripheral-tissue self-antigens (PTAs) in thymic stromal cells, promoting the clonal deletion of differentiating T cells that recognize them. Just how Aire targets and induces PTA transcripts remains largely undefined. Screening via Aire-targeted coimmunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry, and validating by multiple RNAi-mediated knockdown approaches, we identified a large set of proteins that associate with Aire. They fall into four major functional classes: nuclear transport, chromatin binding/structure, transcription and pre-mRNA processing. One set of Aire interactions centered on DNA protein kinase and a group of proteins it partners with to resolve DNA double-stranded breaks or promote transcriptional elongation. Another set of interactions was focused on the pre-mRNA splicing and maturation machinery, potentially explaining the markedly more effective processing of PTA transcripts in the presence of Aire. These findings suggest a model to explain Aire's widespread targeting and induction of weakly transcribed chromatin regions.

Phra Narai Ratchaniwet
About Phra Narai Ratchaniwet
This palace was built by King Narai with the help of french architects and displays an interesting blend of European, Thai and Khmer influences in its design. It took 12 years to build the palace which was finally completed in 1677. However, after serving for King Petracha's coronation when King Narai died in 1688, the temple was essentially abandoned, and wasn't restored until the mid-19th century. The palace grounds are spacious and well-maintained with beautiful trees planted in and around its numerous buildings and structures. The main pavilion (Suttha Sawan) is in the center of the grounds. Other structures and ruins include the palace's main gate (Pratu Phayakkha), the royal reception hall, the Phra Chao Hao (a Buddhist shrine that likely housed an important Buddha image back in the day) and the ruined remains of the king's elephant stables. The grounds also hold a palace reservoir.
Payment Accepted:
Getting there:
This palace's main entrance is on the west side of Thanon Sorasak just south of Thanon Ratchadamnoen in Lopburi's downtown area. It is within walking distance of all downtown Lopburi attractions and is about 400 meters northwest of the train station.

Will This Upgrade Effect GameStop (GME) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- GameStop (GME - Get Report) is up 2.39% to $45.45 in premarket trading on Friday. GameStop has been upgraded to "buy" from "neutral" at Bank of America (BAC), raising its price objective to $56 from $43. Earlier in the week, Bank of America downgraded the electronics and gaming company to "neutral" due to their "worse than expected holiday results."
Now, Bank of America believes GameStop sales will soon rise and that the company will benefit from the new gaming consoles hitting the market.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates GAMESTOP CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate GAMESTOP CORP (GME) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, attractive valuation levels, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 6.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, GME's share price has jumped by 41.13%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, GME should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- GAMESTOP CORP's earnings per share declined by 12.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GAMESTOP CORP turned its bottom line around by earning $3.02 versus -$2.23 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.71 versus $3.02).
- GME has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.36 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.

The Canal and the Great Wall: A Tale of Two Sites
- |
- Friday, 03 September 2010 04:52
Who says UNESCO World Heritage sites don't play great together? This summer, the friendly cooperation between Canada and China continued full force as the Great Wall of China and the Rideau Canal partook in mutually beneficial promotions in each others' destinations.
Badaling, part of the Beijing municipality, is home to the most visited section of the Great Wall, and for a week at the beginning of August, tourists there were greeted with kiosks and travel information about Ottawa and the Rideau Canal. It's a link between one of the world's oldest landmarks and one of the world's youngest attractions, and as Chinese tourists continue to flock to Canada in increasing numbers every year, it's a partnership that makes sure Ottawa will be a top part of their itineraries.
In exchange, tourists to Ottawa were treated to special features on the Great Wall and Chinese cultural dancing and exhibitions during this year's Rideau Canal Festival. For those who've never had the chance to visit the Great Wall (and I am one of you), you can get a sense of the majesty in the video below, when Ottawa Tourism president Noel Buckley was in Badaling signing the friendship agreement.
Ottawans who love the Rideau Canal can be proud to know she's getting the exposure she deserves worldwide. This begs another question: is the canal male or female? Feel free to debate below.

An interesting little ditty came back to mind the other day, one I used to often repeat as a kid: "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!" No clue where it came from; not sure why, really. I do know that my whole family loved ice cream -- especially my father -- and, as a kid, we used to make a trip every Sunday to an ice cream parlor for our weekly treat. By the way, I still love ice cream and eat a portion at almost every opportunity I get. Perhaps though, the memory was invoked just prior to a conversation I had recently with the owner of a new business venture in St. Charles. It will be an iteration of "Forever Yogurt" (frozen yogurt) and will take up residence on the southeast corner of Main Street (Route 64) and South Second Street (Route 31) in Saint Charles.
Curious about the new store and at the same time interested to see just what motivated him, I called David Brown, lifetime resident of St. Charles, owner and franchisee of the new venture and asked if I could get a few minutes of his time to ask a few questions. He graciously consented, and the several-hour conversation left me anxiously anticipating the opening and wanting to try some of the frozen treat. But I am getting way ahead of myself...
A bit of background information might be of assistance here. OK... so, although the actual origins of the product are unknown, people have been both making -- and eating, obviously -- yogurt for a very long time. It is, according to information provided by Mr. Brown from Forever Yogurt:
"made by culturing dairy ingredients with the bacterial cultures Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus... in a... perfect environment for the bacteria to grow." "The manufacturer also adds additional cultures such as Lactobacillus lactis and Bifidobacterium when making yogurt. We never heat treat yogurt after it is made. Heating would kill the cultures and you would lose the potential benefits."
Exactly how it is made is probably a description for another article and likely not what is of interest to most who will eat the frozen variety. However, according to Wikipedia:
"Yogurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. Lactose-intolerant individuals can sometimes tolerate yogurt better than other dairy products..."
And therein lies so much of the good news. Suffice it to say that yogurt is a healthful and tasty dairy product that, even in its low-fat version, is also very good for you, for a number of reasons; in a time where diet is of great concern, yogurt is a wonderful addition.
Yogurt (the simplest of several spellings) has had several go-rounds in America, going all the way back to the '50s and '60s. For the frozen variety -- according to a frozen yogurt industry report -- the first wave of frozen yogurt fandom was actually in the 1980s. But frozen yogurt now seems to be enjoying a renewed surge in popularity; a concept now referred to as FroYo, "The Freeze" is really beginning to take hold across the country. I did a very rough count and found almost a dozen different frozen yogurt franchise names totaling over 600 stores (at least) in the United States alone. With numerous corporate franchise names, the Chicago area seems to be no stranger to the frozen fad, and the FroYo wars for turf and fans are heating up as we speak.
People have been making yogurt for over 4000 years. The frozen variety though, has recently exploded onto the food industry scene because of the known health benefits and delectable taste; years of studies have established the benefits of yogurt in the digestion of milk proteins, lactose intolerance and calcium supplementation. More recent health studies have also determined that yogurt produces a gastrointestinal bacteria that may protect against cancers of the colon and breast. All of Forever Yogurt's frozen yogurt varieties are gluten-free, non-fat or low fat and contain active, live cultures.
Getting back to David Brown, his decision to start a Forever Yogurt franchise in St. Charles seemed almost -- at least to hear him talk about it -- a sort of revelation. He and his wife Lisa were in Boulder, Colorado where their twin daughters were enrolled as college freshman. After dinner one night, the twins said there was a great place they wanted to go for dessert. Destination? A small storefront in a strip mall. The line was literally out the door and a half-block long at a FroYo shop (needless to say, Boulder residents love the product!). David said he was surprised to see that the line actually moved fairly quickly. The "gimmick" was the fact that one could serve one's self, loading a cup with as much of the frozen treat -- and as much of the available toppings -- as desired; it was all self-serve and the resulting cost was a simple calculation based on a price by weight for the sweet and delectable goodness.
It wasn't just the tangy and delicious flavor, though (there are actually close to 100 different flavors that can be combined with over 60 possible toppings), or the product concept of self-serve frozen yogurt that got Brown's attention; it was the format that he found interesting. And "When we learned that there was a new Chicago-based self-serve frozen yogurt franchise (Forever Yogurt), we were intrigued." Even though the Browns originally had no plans to open or run a franchise, after visiting several stores (lines in Chicago stores were always out the door, too) they became enamored of the product and its quality. The fact that Forever Yogurt was a Chicago-based company also factored into their decision. "... our curiosity ultimately turned into enthusiasm, and St. Charles seemed to be the perfect fit for the concept and a great addition to the downtown area."
The rest will be determined come mid-April, when the Brown's St. Charles Forever Yogurt franchise is scheduled to open. Their store will definitely have its own unique character and identity; no two Forever Yogurt locations are identical. According to David, "we will rotate through up to 70 different froyo flavors, offering 16 at time along with over 50 toppings." Other than that, David said that he and Lisa are taking things one step at a time, "wanting to make certain that the new St. Charles store is a success in every possible way and that additionally it will provide a great place for young people to work and have positive life experiences while learning important life skills."
The flagship Forever Yogurt store was founded in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago in 2010, and the City boasts over half-a-dozen stores, each with its own look and personality. (By the way, Forever Yogurt is now listed in the top five of Chicago's best frozen yogurt.) The number of locations is growing quickly and the brand is spreading outward to the suburbs, as well as to numerous other states. David and Lisa Brown will soon have something new in St. Charles that no one else in the local area has, and they're betting that their own Forever Yogurt store will garner success and a huge fan base. I'm still a pretty big ice cream-aholic... But I gotta tell you, after sampling the product, I'm betting the Browns are right. and I may soon be chanting: "you scream, I scream, we all scream for... Forever Yogurt!"

Munich nightlife
While it's possible to find discreet corners of low-key cool nightlife in Munich, in-your-face glitz seems almost ubiquitous. Be prepared for a rauc_us_(and expensive) time. Maximilianstrasse, running through the Altstadt quarter north of Marienplatz, is nightlife's central artery, a street where the sound of a mega-expensive Italian sports cars can be heard at all times. There are plenty of Irish pubs and other more humble fare around Marienplatz itself, but for a taste of what makes Munich Munich you have to go for the gold, and be willing to pay the rather stiff prices (drinks usually start at about $11).

The Orava Gallery in Dolny Kubin
The considerably specific character of the visual arts of the Orava region conditioned the Orava Gallery to be founded. Its main characteristic feature is the merging of professional arts with the folk visual expression that can be followed from the Gothic period up to the 19th century.
The Late-Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classicist churches in Orava, their decoration of the interior, furnishing, paintings and sculptures are the best pieces of evidence of this pervading.
It is interesting how different kinds of arts were spread geographically as it was the religion of the inhabitants of Upper and Lower Orava that influenced it. Ornamental and figurative paintings and the decorative elements as well, were more characteristic to the region of Lower Orava where the Protestants prefered the surface decoration and the figural themes were less used. Under the influence of the antireformation movement coming from Poland, carving the wooden sculptures and cutting the stones became more typical to Upper Orava. Because of the economic decline, the old visual understanding of the saints were kept in Orava much longer than in other regions of Slovakia. Even in the 20th century the paintings, sculptures and reliefs of the saints still have a place in lives of the people of Orava, they still have their original function. It is there, where the belief of people and the Church assigned them to protect a man, his family, work and property. They were situated in chapels, on crosses and columns near crossroads, in niches on the house fasades and at cemeteries. The Orava Gallery was founded on November 3, 1965. Its task was to collect pieces of visual expression of Orava in such a way that not only the typical characteristic features of the folk artists from Orava would come to the fore but also the intensity of the expression, abundancy of artistic forms in folk but professional arts as well and the differences among artists standing on different levels of understanding of the world and its artistic reflection.
A church in Slanica, standing on an elevation surrounded by waters of the Orava Dam, was chosen as a suitable place to install the pieces of art. The church, that was a dominant of a village that was inundated, was originally built as a Baroque chapel (1766 — 1769) and it was adopted according to Classicist style in 1843. In the period of 1968-1971 it was changed into an attractive and rare exhibition hall of the Orava Gallery. In the temple space there is a collection of folk art installed and a lapidaries of stonecutting works from Orava is a part of it. During the period from May to September there is a boat of the Orava Gallery bringing visitors to the island.
The Orava Gallery in Dolný Kubín has got also a second permanent exposition and it is the life's work of the painter Mária Medvecká (1914 — 1987). Since 1979 the exposition has been installed in an Classicist mansion from the 19th century in Tvrdošín — Medvedzie. If we look at works of the Slovak visual artists inspired by Orava and connected to this region by longer stays and other contacts, we come to a conclusion that the efforts of Mária Medvecká to capture the essence of this region and its people are unique, there is nothing to compare them with. Mária Medvecká came back to Orava where she was born together with her husband the painter Ctibor Belan after her studies in Bratislava and Vienna and having their artistic and human attitutes in harmony, they dedicated themselves to their creative work and also to an important cultural and social activities. In fact it is thanks to their diligence and cooperation with a couple Ignác a Běla Kolčáks´ (painters as well) that the Orava Gallery was founded. Mária Medvecká played a pioneer role in the development of visual culture in Orava also in the area of exhibition activities. Her realistic figural compositions inspired by mothers with children and women working on the fields has become a visual document of its time and this original and peculiar region. The gallery is opened through the whole year and the visitors have a possibility to buy an original work painted or drawn by Mária Medvecká.
It is planned that the Orava Gallery will operate in retrofitted rooms of the 17th century house in Dolný Kubín starting from autumn 1994. There will be the offices, deposits, restoration workshops but first of all the exhibition halls where permanent and short-term expositions compiled from works of visual arts coming from the periods of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and a number of works representing the 19th century will be installed. Also the 20th century art will have its place here, especially paintings. It will be represented by important personalities of the Slovak painting as Gustáv Mallý, Martin Benka, Miloš Alexander Bazovský, Janko Alexy, Vincent Hložník, group of Mikuláš Galanda and the representative of surrealism in Slovakia — Karol Baron.

They were four co-workers returning home from a long day at the office.
But, two of them never made it home. A Brampton husband and wife, aged 52 and 47, both backseat passengers were killed after being ejected from the Honda Civic that was barely recognizable after it collided with a dump truck in Halton Hills on Monday, July 14.
Halton Regional Police say charges are pending in the deadly crash, which occurred just steps from Hillcrest United Church around 6 p.m. at No. 5 Sideroad and Trafalgar Rd.
Halton police Sgt. Chantal Corner said the male driver of the Civic was freed from the vehicle by emergency crews and was then airlifted to Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital in critical condition. Corner says his condition has since been upgraded to serious, but stable.
The other male passenger of the Civic and the driver of the dump truck were taken to Milton District Hospital with minor injuries.
Corner says the four people in the Civic were co-workers.
The force's accident reconstruction unit is still trying to piece together what caused the two vehicles to collide, resulting in the dump truck striking a light standard before turning into a field where it caught fire, and the Civic flipping over, ejecting the Brampton couple.
"They'll have to investigate the traffic lights, possible skid marks. It's like putting the pieces if a puzzle back together," she said. "They will be very meticulous."
It appears alcohol isn't a factor in this crash, but investigators will be looking at the speed of both vehicles, Corner said.
Police say there were many witnesses, but anyone with information is being asked to call Det. Const. Kevin Rye at 905-825-4747, ext. 5056.

Week 15 Shower Rankings (1-16)
Every Tuesday morning, I wake up an hour early so that I can sit on the floor of my shower and meditate on the current state of the NFL until the water runs cold. This morning, through the power of prayer, the following rankings were revealed to me:
1. San Diego Chargers (12-2): LaDomlinson is officially the most exciting player in the NFL to watch. He always plays, he always plays well, and he consistently does things that no one else can do. On his first touchdown, he jocked a KC defender so bad, I thought I was watching Buenos Aires High School run the patented Flip 6, 3 Hole play to Johnny Rico. The Chargers would have completely dominated their opponent, but Phrivers was busy running the patented twirl and hurl offense of Uncle Rico. 2. Chicago Bears (12-2): Tommie Harris is lost to injury and Warmachine Trousersnake is just plain lost, leaving the Bears thin at defensive tackle. We?re talking Lindsay-Lohan-after-they-wrapped-production-for-Herbie thin. By the end of the third quarter, Ian Scott and Alfonso Boone were about as fresh as a pack of Parliaments in an Alabama truck stop. 3. Baltimore Ravens (11-3): Flashback to the 2003 NFL Draft and this little nugget from Kyle Boller: ?Somebody bet me lunch that I couldn't throw the ball through the goal posts from the 50-yard line while on my knees. So I got down on my knees, chucked it, and let's just say he took me to lunch the next day. Ever since then, I've done it to show off my arm strength, and I never heard of anyone else doing it.? And he didn?t even have to travel back to ?82 to get the job done. Yeah, that?s two Uncle Rico references in the first three rankings. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? 4. Indianapolis Colts (11-3): Whew. I was running out of ways to say that the Colts struggle to stop the run. For Indianapolis, allowing 133 team rushing yards is like an Alpha Chi graduating from ASU with less than three strains of HPV: just a tremendous moral victory. Meanwhile, Peyton Manning went off, causing Joe Theismann to ejaculate fourteen times in a three-hour span. No analyst had achieved double-digits since Marv Albert checked into the Arlington Westin in ?97. PeyMan finished 29/36 for 282 and 4 scores, a performance which earned him a passer rating of Holy-F?n-S, that guy is good! 5. New England Patriots (10-4): The world was shaken to its knees this week when news broke that Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan had decided to part ways. Not really. Actually, theirs had to have been the least followed of all the major celebrity relationships. Where are the weeping throngs who mourned for Reese and Ryan? What makes Tony and Eva so great that Access Hollywood has to spend all of its unconditional love on them? If TomKat was good enough to earn courtship from the Church of Scientology, why wasn?t TomBridge? Following the breakup, sources have alleged that Brady initiated the split precisely because Moynahan?s questionable celebrity was not earning him the off-season attention he craved. I believe it goes much deeper than that. Call me crazy, but the emerald cut sapphire earrings Moynahan wore to the ESPY?s had Bill Belichick?s fingerprints all over them. 6. New Orleans Saints (9-5): Was this just a classic trap game against a weak conference opponent sandwiched between two tough contests on the road? Or is Jason Campbell the worst thing to happen to New Orleans since the Heineken looter? 7. Dallas Cowboys (9-5): Not since the Monica Lewinski scandal have the particles expelled from a man?s mouth been so newsworthy. If he?s smart, T.O. will take a page out of Pacman Jones? book and save the face-spitting for off the field. ESPN couldn?t care less about that. 8. New York Jets (8-6): Losses this week for Cincinnati and Jacksonville have erased New York?s loss to Buffalo like a simple swipe of my hand erases a dirty picture from my niece?s Magna Doodle. With remaining games at Miami and against Oakland, the Jets have the easiest remaining schedule and the inside track for an AFC Wild Card berth. 9. Cincinnati Bengals (8-6): The Colts needed that win more than the Bengals, and it showed in how the two teams played. If Carson & Co. can regain their form for the next two weeks at Denver and against Pittsburgh, they?re playing off. But Pittsburgh would love nothing more than to play spoiler for Cincinnati in front of the Bengal faithful. Is there such a thing as the Bengal faithful? 10. Philadelphia Eagles (8-6): If the Eagles make the playoffs, how do you deny 36-year-old Jeff Garcia the Comeback Player of the Year? The guy is a consummate team performer, as you can see from his comments following the win over the New York Giants, ?The guys in that locker room have been bending over backward for me, and for each other, all season long. A couple times, I managed to put our defense in a sticky situation, but they were able to overcome that with tremendous penetration. As a team, I feel that we are really starting to come together.? Dramatization: May not have happened. 11. Seattle Seahawks (8-6): The Seahawks are falling faster than those dudes that got blown off the top of Mt. Hood. Too cold? Yeah, I suppose it was a little cold. But not as cold as it is at the top of Mt. Hood. Just ask their friend, the corpsicle in the snow cave. 12. Jacksonville Jaguars (8-6): When the Jags miss the playoffs by one game, Jack Del Rio will paper the walls of his office with little pictures that he draws depicting him in the act of slaughtering longhorns. Each picture will be given a rhyming caption, such as, ?How now, Houston cow? When I machete your legs, you?ll have to bow!? The shower makes many strange predictions, each with deadly precision. 13. Denver Broncos (8-6): Nice win. Wake me up when they can beat not-the-Cardinals. 14. Kansas City Chiefs (7-7): Maybe they should get Larry Johnson a blacker coach. I mean, Herm Edwards is black and all. But he could be blacker. 15. Atlanta Falcons (7-7): The Falcons will finish 8-8, missing the playoffs in an atrocious National Football Conference, and there will only be one thing on the minds of everyone associated with the Atlanta football franchise: a Week 9 loss to Detroit. No! No, not Detroit! No! No, please! Anything but that! No! 16. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-7): It?s difficult to believe, but the Steelers are still alive. Their vital statistics are falling fast, their kids have already scheduled a reading of the will, and the yellowish guy in the neighboring gurney is drooling over their ripe liver, but the brain is still functioning, and recovery, while unlikely, cannot yet be ruled out. |

Re: Week 15 Shower Rankings (1-16)
Well, they're ranked higher than Carolina. If you're looking for a detailed explanation, I look at it this way: The teams ranked higher than Pittsburgh have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Steelers. That's my opinion based on their current .500 record and their remaining games against Baltimore and @Cincinnati.

Wicked Dogs will specialize in different cream cheese hot dogs for an amazing, unique hot dog experience!
About this project
Win a catered event OR a dj party! Details -
First things first...in case you are new to kickstarter, it's all or nothing! In other words, if you are pledging to win the reward of a catered party or the dj party, keep in mind that if $3,000 in pledges are NOT met by May 2nd, the project is done and nothing happens. You will not be charged and the project is over...that's why it's so important that we get the word out and give everyone a chance to win this awesome reward! For every $5 you pledge, you receive a shot at winning either one of the above mentioned parties. If you pledge $100, you receive 20 shots and so on. I am restricted a bit by geographical distances but anything in the Seattle area, Bellingham up to the Canadian border, south to Portland, OR...all good for me to bring you your party! And of course anyone that has already pledged on or before April 18th, of course you are ALSO entered...except for people like my sis that lives in Texas...sorry sis. Ha And it goes without saying that any rewards that you see on the right for different dollar amounts that have been pledged are totally separate. In other words...your shot at the hot dog or dj party are completely separate and in addition! Thank you everyone!
Cream cheese hot dogs - gone wild
The Seattle dog is everywhere here! For the uninitiated, the typical Seattle dog is a quality hot dog smothered in cream cheese and onions. (either chopped or grilled onions)
So what will I do that's different? Most of us have had a chili cheese dog but imagine a chili cheese dog with homemade, hand crafted (yes, I flavor the cream cheese myself) roasted garlic cream cheese. It's insane! The apple sausage dog is hugely popular here too but when it's covered with sun dried tomato cream cheese? This stuff should be illegal!
That's my niche...read on to learn more about kickstarter and what the heck this site is all about...
Here we go...
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and view my profile. I hope you got a chuckle or two from the video...amazing what you can do with a Flip camera and a trial version of Sony Vegas! Before I go any further I want to answer some f.a.q's about Kickstarter itself. I have a feeling that my circle of friends and family may have never heard of kickstarter.com so that seems like a good place to start.
What is kickstarter.com?
Let's start with what it's not. Kickstarter.com is not a charity. It's not a site where people beg for money. It's not a place where people are trying to get $ to pay off their car loans. Kickstarter is an amazing community that has a website. It's a place where for-profit entities can raise funding that they can't come up with themselves, and can't get a traditional loan for, so that the path from idea to reality is made easier. It's a place where people, just like you and I, have a dream and share it with the world. It's pay it forward...karma...whatever you want to call it. Kickstarter believes that "a large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement."
Why would people offer support through kickstarter.com?
Yes, there is a touchy feely aspect of the whole process...the warm fuzzies. The ability to be able to help someone change their lives by throwing down $10....and when you multiply 100 people tossing ten bucks into the ring, it's plain to see that one person really CAN make a difference.
But it's also about rewards! Not only do you get to be a part of something good (think big picture) you also get some cool, unique stuff depending on what level of support you choose. Look to the right and you'll see the breakdown of my swag offerings.
What kind of people support kickstarter.com projects?
Anyone. People like you and me, friends, families, complete strangers that are told about the project and believe in it and are inspired and want a really cool Wicked Dogs t shirt!
So Kevin, why are you using kickstarter.com?
I'll admit it, I'm not a guy that makes a habit of asking for help from anyone for anything. My accomplishments have been achieved - for the most part - through my own efforts. I'm prideful, and not in a good way...too much of an island at times which can be extremely detrimental. (I remember one time moving a king size mattress up two flights of stairs all by myself years ago...that about killed me) It's not easy for me to do this but sometimes an opportunity comes along that is so amazing that you just have to try it...that's why my project is on kickstarter.com.
After watching the video, it looks like your cart is nearly done? What's up?
I had everything planned out. Right down to the penny. I was working 6 nights a week and knew exactly how my "day job" was going to fund everything I needed to build the cart, buy initial supplies, pay for permits, etc. As all of us know, the economy has been pretty fickle for sometime now and the bottom fell out of my work schedule. I went from 6 nights of work a week to 2. I've searched high and low to replace those missing hours but to no avail. Then along came kickstarter.com! I am totally excited to reward people with really cool, unique items that they will love!
So can you break down the $ amount for me?
Remember that Kickstarter and Amazon (they facilitate the financial process) apply about a 5% fee each to the funds raised if the funding amount is pledged by the deadline. So about 10% of the total funds ($300) go towards taking care of the fees for using kickstarter. After that, my biggest hits will come from a very expensive refrigerator (health department requirement) the health department approval and city permits once a location is chosen. This will take up about half of the pledged funds. The other items in need are signage for the cart, initial food costs, utensils and other cooking aparatus, business cards and other printed materials.
What happens if funding is unsuccessful? Or what happens if pledges exceed the goal?
If the goal amount is not reached by the end of the 30 days, nothing happens. Your credit card is not charged and the project is catagorized as being unsuccessfully funded. And puppies and kittens will weep. If the pledges exceed the goal amount the project moves forward and it's HUGELY successful! In my case, extra $ means more money for extra food items which is always a good thing when serving food.
So tell us about the hot dogs already!
Sorry, I thought it was important to go into detail about how all of this works and how accountability is extremely important to me.
This is the exciting part! My niche will be taking cream cheese dogs to a whole new level! I'll start by serving hot dogs from locally owned Bavarian Meats. Their dogs are delicous! I will serve a longer, traditional, natural casing hot dog...the kind that snap when you bite into them! My menu so far will include the ubiquitous Seattle Dog, a Chili Cheese Dog with roasted garlic cream cheese, a traditional Chicago Dog, a Chicken Apple Sausage Dog with sun dried tomato cream cheese, a Polish Sausage, a Kraut Dog, and of course a naked dog that you can dress with the typical condiments any way you want.
Let's do this!
I appreciate your time and you believing in me! I'd love to send out a ton of swag! Let's make it happen....show your support for Wicked Dogs! Let's make puppies and kittens dance in the street! Thank you!
Not much to look at but I've perfected the sundried tomato cream cheese!
And the roasted garlic cream cheese is to die for!

For Google, the race to dominate the mobile payments industry is proving to be quite expensive. Although hundreds of millions of dollars were spent to buy digital startups to complement Google Wallet, there's little to show for it.
- Some stores in SoHo are revolutionizing the way consumers shop in the future. One company turned its storefront into an efficient showroom that doesn't use storage space. Instead, customers view merchandise in the store and purchases are processed online. Couriers deliver goods within one hour to Manhattan or Brooklyn.
- On Tuesday, Incredible Bank will begin charging a $15 monthly fee for its interest checking account. The fee can be waived with an average collected balance of $300 or a an average collected balance of $5,000 across all Incredible deposit accounts. The Incredible Bank checking account currently pays 0.71% APY on balances of less than $250,000.
- Saturday marks two weeks before the end of the second quarter of 2013, which means many cash back credit card users will be able to start enrolling for next quarter's bonus cash back categories (if their cards offer such a program). It's also a reminder that such credit card users should take advantage of the current bonus cash back categories before they expire.
- Google has spent $300 million in acquisitions to develop its mobile wallet application but it has fewer than 10 million users after two years on the market, according to Bloomberg. The tech giant never disclosed how much it invest in Google Wallet. Even without the exact numbers from Google, the mobile payments industry already recognizes struggles that Google Wallet is facing.
- The upcoming Sunday is Father's Day. According to study by the National Retail Federation, the average person plans to spend $119.84 on dad's gifts this year, up from $117.14 last year. The total spending to celebrate Father's Day is projected to be $13.3 billion. With just a week left to show that you love dad just as much as mom, what are you getting as a gift?

Kids' Art
In our youngest group (Group I for 6 - 8 year olds), the children create images of "What Bugs Me" about the separation or divorce of their parents. They also create treasure boxes where they can place written reminders about healthy ways to make themselves feel better when things get tough.
In our older groups (Group II for 9 - 11 year olds and Group III for 12 - 14 year olds) the kids create masks to symbolize the faces they present to the world...
---and the sometimes contradicting feelings they keep inside.

Guys, as you all know, my wife and I had been patiently awaiting the arrival of our first baby. It was a great experience, and not knowing if the baby was to be a boy or girl made it that much more of a rush.
On April 9th, at 8:25pm, my beautiful wife gave birth to a healthy, handsome, and incredible baby boy! 7lb 4oz, and 20.5" long, this guy is built and ready to melt your heart.
Say hi to Cohen Thomas Silva McLean! I'm pretty sure he's already analyzing his golf swing and designing kitchen knives in his head. Based on the size of his mitts, he might have to get oversized grips and handles.
Needless to say, we're completely in love with this little guy. Cohen says, "Hi, everyone"!

Murder damages Sunbury's image
SUNBURY – Even though Miranda and Elytte Barbour are not from Sunbury, the damage they have done to the city's reputation is already being realized. Mayor David Persing said the national attention the murder case is receiving is unfortunate for Sunbury.
Persing said, "These people are not even from the state of Pennsylvania. They show up living in a town about 15 miles from us. The crime did take place in the city of Sunbury and that's how we end up getting the headlines, but they don't represent any part of our community and they don't actually represent any part of our region."
Persing said the financial toll the murder case will have is already affecting the police department. He said, "You have a lot of extra hours investigating that, working with Northumberland County to get the information ready for the trial. Just extra time that officers are not going to be out on the street because they are out chasing leads and putting information together. It's going to cost the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars for such a senseless act of violence that we had no control over."
Persing said he is extremely proud of all the hard work the police department has put into the case and knows many more hours of work is still ahead for the officers. (Ali Stevens)

In what ways did John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jefferson contribute to the formulation of the Monroe Doctrine?
What conditions provided the impetus for the Sedition Act? Partisan animosity was strong during Adams's presidency. The first two political parties in the U.S. were in their infancy—the Federalists, to which the majority of members of Congress belonged, and the Democratic-Republicans, led by former vice-president Thomas Jefferson and four-term Congressman James Madison, who had left the House in 1796.
What was the Monroe Doctrine? What principles of foreign policy did this Doctrine establish? What were the significant events in U.S. diplomacy before 1823? What diplomatic roles had James Monroe played before he became president? Here, a careful examination of the document anticipates what is to come.
In this Picturing America lesson, students explore the historical origins and organization of the Spanish missions in the New World, and discover the varied purposes these communities of faith served.
When the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention convened in May of 1787 to recommend amendments to the Articles of Confederation, one of the first issues they addressed was the plan for representation in Congress. This lesson will focus on the various plans for representation debated during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
The lesson focuses on two 17th-century maps of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to trace how the Puritans took possession of the region, built towns, and established families on the land. Students will learn how these New England settlers interacted with the Native Americans, and how to gain information about those relationships from primary sources such as maps.
This lesson focuses on John Winthrop's historic "Model of Christian Charity" sermon which is often referred to by its "City on a Hill " metaphor. Through a close reading of this admittedly difficult text, students will learn how it illuminates the beliefs, goals, and programs of the Puritans. The sermon sought to inspire and to motivate the Puritans by pointing out the distance they had to travel between an ideal community and their real-world situation.
Modern American society is known for its ethnic diversity, and this, of course, is reflected in a wide variety of surnames. In this activity, students will learn about the origins and meanings of surnames commonly used in the United States that derive from non-British cultures.
What provisions in the U.S. Constitution are relevant to the debate over the Sedition Act? For this lesson, students will read brief excerpts from actual debates in the House of Representatives as the legislators attempted to work with the version of the bill "Punishment of Crime" (later known as the Sedition Act) already passed by the Senate.
How did conditions in Europe relate to the independence movements in South America? What reasons did President Monroe give for recognizing the independence movements in South America?

Vegas' Post-Recession Economy for TIME
This week's issue of TIME, August 19, 2013 | Vol. 182 No. 8 (with the honeybee on the cover,) includes a feature story I shot for TIME recently on the changing face of visitor spending and the post-recession economy here in Las Vegas.
This is how the print edition came out. I love that they used one of my favorite images from the assignment for the table of contents page. Pretty sure that image will show up in my Born on the Fourth of July essay when I get back around to updating that project.
Team Challenge for Crohn's & Colitis Foundation
Currently, my husband, Kirk, and I are training for the San Diego TriRock olympic-distance triathlon with Team Challenge Las Vegas. Our fundraising goal for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is $8,000.
This is Jay. Jay is 10-years-old and our team's Honored Hero. After years of specialists not knowing how to treat his Crohn's Disease, Jay is in remission following three surgeries in three months last year. We know of at least two of our team mates that currently have Crohn's. Hearing their struggles and stories is difficult, and heartbreaking. One a teenage girl, and another a mother of two school age girls. The cause of their pain and suffering remains largely a mystery to researchers and specialists. We joined this effort to help a cause we didn't know much about. It's becoming personal as we realize these invisible illnesses are all around us .
Jay joined us for a team pot luck after our training run today, and had thank you notes for everyone. I have thank you notes for everyone too! Please join us and contribute any amount you can HERE to help find a cure for this devastating disease. EVERY DOLLAR helps and it's all tax deductible! This is the world I want to live in. One where we all help each other however we can.
Nik Wallenda in Sports Illustrated
The last few weeks I've been blessed with some incredible assignments for fabulous clients. Two weeks ago I was the exclusive still photographer for the Discovery Channel on the ground at Nik Wallenda's cable crossing of the Grand Canyon. I'll have more up from the assignment soon, in the meantime, check out this week's July 1 issue of Sports Illustrated. They did a beautiful job with a two-page, double-truck spread featuring an image of the single moment Nik paused and knelt in the middle of the walk, 1500 feet up.

Pawn Stars for Maxim
I hung out with the guys from Pawn Stars documenting a day and a night a few months ago for a feature story in the February 2013 issue of Maxim. I have to say, this is the first story I have ever worked on where the reporter ends up getting his first tattoo on the inside of his lip at the end of the night. The issue is out now and I just got a look at how the piece came together:
Santa in the First Person
The last five years I have always looked forward to covering the Great Santa Run the first weekend in December. Last year I was a bit too pregnant to sprint or bike around the event course to make photos of the awesome spectacle of upwards of 10k running and walking Santas, all to raise money for Opportunity Village.
This year, my life and work has changed dramatically with my son Zand's arrival in February. I have had to make more choices about how I use my time. When not working I've wanted to spend it sharing my boy's first year with him. So yesterday I participated in the Santa Run with a great crew of women, other mamas, and their babes who I work-out with through Stroller Strides – also in the spirit of silly fun! It was a blast and reminded me how much I love Las Vegas for the fun and ridiculous that it brings out, which has been the life blood of my work since moving here in 2006.
This is all to say that yesterday's blend of shooting and personal experience with Zand seemed like a good opportunity to return to the blog and attempt to begin to catch-up on personal and client work sharing. Happy holidays to all and more soon! (that's Zand, center right, my lil' Santa in his babiators)
Welcome to Zand
I made the comment in my last post that I was going to catch up on personal updates soon, if my baby boy didn't arrive early. I guess I jinx'd myself! My water broke that very Sunday night and I delivered my first child, Zand Asher Anderson, at home, in water, on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2012. Don't worry, I wasn't in labor that whole time!
Zand is now two months old and life has been a bit busy since then. My husband, Kirk, and I savored a week and half with our new boy before Zand suddenly stopped eating and became lethargic over a 24 hour period when he was 10 days old. We landed in the emergency room late at night and Zand under-went a battery of tests. He had an infection that required 10 days of IV antibiotics. Zand, Kirk and I spent the next 12 days in the hospital together around the clock. It was a horrific way to spend the second and third weeks of Zand's life, and mine as a new mama, but we survived together and Zand is now healthy, gaining weight like a champ and amazing me morning, noon and *all*-night.
My perspective on much shifts with each new day I spend with Zand. I am consciously savoring every minute of him as this tiny precious new born. I feel blessed to get to experience all of it. There is nothing I have ever known that compares to how wonderful it feels to snuggle my boy close, smell his irresistible newborn scent and to experience his contentment when I reach for him.
As in awe of my new boy as I am, my adoration and commitment to my work remains. I will slowly resume taking assignments here and there, and more so in the coming months. I can't hardly wait to work with some new clients that have gotten in touch of late. For now though, here are a few from my latest and most greatest personal project I've ever known.

Comic Critics on Hiatus; Last Strip Makes Great Points About Burnout
- Posted by Johanna on June 24, 2013 at 6:24 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
I wondered, when I saw today's Comic Critics strip, if it was intended as a meta-announcement. In it, Josh talks about how bored he's become with his usual comics, so he's putting his review blog on hold for a while. Now, it's been confirmed — the webcomic itself, by Sean Whitmore and Brandon Hanvey, is also going on hiatus. It's for the usual reasons — real life demands, risk of burnout, need to recharge…
I hadn't realized it had been running for five years. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Josh, the more typical superhero fanboy and comic retail clerk, and Marissa, who read indies. The creators often took funny-because-they're-true potshots at the comic industry; it was neat to see someone in comic form I could agree with. (And the concerns here about losing enthusiasm, that's something I can relate to, too.) The comic wasn't self-congratulatory or too convinced of its own coolness, though.
Anyway, I hope the graphic novel they mention does come to pass. I'd read it. If not, well, it's been five years of free entertainment. In another few, what a time capsule of memories the site will be.
(Seems that 2008 was a real turning point for all kinds of comics. There were new magazines starting then, and lots of opportunities, and then it all came crashing down. It was a lot easier to be enthusiastic about things back then. Shame.)

How do marital status, work effort, and wage rates interact?

How marital status interacts with men's earnings is an important analytic and policy issue, especially in the context of debates in the United States over programs that encourage healthy marriage. This paper generates new findings about the earnings-marriage relationship by estimating the linkages among flows into and out of marriage, work effort, and wage rates. The estimates are based on National Longitudinal Survey of Youth panel data, covering 23 years of marital and labor market outcomes, and control for unobserved heterogeneity. We estimate marriage effects on hours worked (our proxy for work effort) and on wage rates for all men and for black and low-skilled men separately. The estimates reveal that entering marriage raises hours worked quickly and substantially but that marriage's effect on wage rates takes place more slowly while men continue in marriage. Together, the stimulus to hours worked and wage rates generates an 18%–19% increase in earnings, with about one-third to one-half of the marriage earnings premium attributable to higher work effort. At the same time, higher wage rates and hours worked encourage men to marry and to stay married. Thus, being married and having high earnings reinforce each other over time.

Cheryl Cole has apparently declared her love for new boyfriend Tre Holloway on Twitter, after just a few months of dating.
The 'Under The Sun' singer is said to be smitten with the handsome dancer whom she has been dating secretly for several months and has seemingly announced to the world just how strong her feelings are via Twitter.
"I <3 U!!" Cheryl wrote on Monday night.
Meanwhile, a source says that Cheryl and Tre are so serious about each other that they have already discussed baby names.
"While she's not about to elope, Cheryl admits she's daydreaming about weddings and babies," a source told Closer magazine.
"She'd put those hopes on ice when it fell apart with Ashley, but Tre has got her thinking again. Cheryl says they've even light-heartedly discussed kids' names."
You can't blame Cheryl for being so taken with Tre - have you seen him?!
Tre was spotted dancing with Cheryl on stage during her performance of 'Under The Sun' on The Jonathan Ross Show this weekend... check it out below...

I got the egr adapter for the intake, and I am still throwing codes. I have a MAF code and MAP code and a TPS code. I have changed the maf sensor and the tps and then cleared the codes and reset the computer but they still come on. I am starting to think that maybe my whole computer needs to be relearned and tuned. I dont know if you guys think that its something like that or if it really is probably some of these sensors. I need help and you guys have always done that in the past, helped me. Thank you very much Kyle

B.Way Talks Passion Fruit Love Sessions, Girls, Relationships: "The Mind Games Are Wack"
When it comes to atheism, you have no god. There's nothing there that may fill a void. And at the same time you only have four bars and there's nothing else there.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm so glad people get that song. It's so crazy. I read a YouTube comment, and this guy is just like, "Yo, he's a atheist because he doesn't believe in relationships or the bullshit girls put guys through and just feed us lies. The chick's burying me with lies." And I was like, "Yeah, dude. You fucking get it." That's awesome. You put your heart and soul into a lot of stuff, and as time progresses, it starts to feel like a lie. You don't believe in a lot of shit, like, "Fuck! I wasted my time on that." I decided to make a song out of that. I like the outcome.
Do you feel like that project capitalized on a sound that's hot right now.
Been trying to figure that out lately. Since I put out that project, I've been in the studio. But I haven't necessarily, wholeheartedly worked on anything since that project. Passion Fruit Love Sessions took us two months to do. We'll work on one song a week.
So I wouldn't say we're necessarily trying to capitalize on anything. It was just more so coincidence, because while we're working on it, Justin Timberlake drop and all of that, so it was just like, "Oh shit." Kind of crazy that this is the wave right now, but fuck it.
What is it about these women?
Just the emotions they make me feel. You know, man. At the end of the day, everybody wants something to lay beside, or just something to feel. We all just want to feel something. This world bogs you down. Just life throwing shit at you and you just want to feel something real or just feel appreciated, wanted by something, and you just try to evoke those emotions into songs.
Do you get easily drawn in?
No. That's the issue. That's funny, I had a girl tell me, "I want to meet the guy in your records, because the guy in real life isn't really what it cracks up to be," and I was just like, "Damn, that sucks, but cool."
It's like you have these ideas of what it's supposed to play out to be and then like ... A lot of variables come in to play. It's just weird. Just catch weird vibes. Could be paranoia too. The initial phase of meeting people is cool, and then you're trying to feel them out, and then you just overthink it sometimes, on both ends. Not just my end or not just the girl's end. The mind games are wack.

text: My daughters birthday is in a couple of months and she wants me to get her her first hand gun. She really likes my walther p22 and would like one of her own but I have talked her into a larger caliber at least a .380 or 9mm so as she gets older and wants to carry (and she will) she will have one more suitable. She doesn't like heavy recoil so the really small guns won't be good. Does anyone have any suggestions?
