There will be little change in the weather through Saturday with areas of fog at the coast in the overnight and mornings with patchy fog in the mornings for the Umpua Basin, Grants Pass area and Illinois Valley. Once the fog clears we'll see sunshine which will help warm temperatures quickly in the afternoon.
A cold shot of air will arrive Monday with a drop in highs from Sunday to Monday of 10 to 15 degrees! We'll stay cool through midweek and for the most part dry, though there is a slight chance for rain and snow showers on the east side Sunday evening into Monday. Snow levels will be quite low, potentially down to 4,000′ which means all areas on the east side could see a dusting. Though most of the precipitation looks like it will hit well to our east.
Thanks for logging on and have a great evening!

Talladega Superspeedway has long been a trouble spot for carnage, usually of the multicar variety. The Alabama track doesn't necessarily rack up huge tallies of caution periods, but attrition usually runs high.
In the seventh lap of Talladega's April race, several cars piled up in turn three, leaving (from left) Mark Martin, Scott Riggs, Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray, Kasey Kahne, A.J. Allmendinger and Jeff Gordon out of contention.
Jamie McMurray comes across the start-finish line to take the yellow and checkered flags, winning the Amp Energy 500 under caution at Talladega Superspeedway. The victory ended an 86-race drought for McMurray, who managed to stay ahead of two late-race crashes on the 2.66-mile track.
Chase driver Kasey Kahne (9) finished just behind McMurray in second place.
The cars of Kasey Kahne, right, and Greg Biffle do some excavation work in the frontstretch infield, kicking up dirt and grass after their collision with 11 laps left.
Biffle recovered to take 20th place, but actually gained a spot in the points, moving to seventh in the standings. Kahne crashed out five laps later, saddling himself with a 34th-place run to remain lodged in 11th in the Sprint Cup standings.
The 12-driver field for NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup poses for a group picture after the regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway.
Front row (from left): Juan Pablo Montoya, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin and Brian Vickers; Back row: Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.
Here's an in-depth look at the title hopefuls for 2009, listed in order of regular-season finish.

Welcome to our annual survey of graduate-level business schools across Canada — a comprehensive resource covering everything an aspiring MBA or EMBA needs to know before choosing a program.
Our survey lists Canadian full-time and part-time MBA and executive MBA programs by tuition, program duration, admission requirements and class composition. We provide post-graduate employment and salary figures for graduates of each MBA school, and average work experience for EMBA participants.
With an unprecedented financial crisis dominating world events, this year we answer questions about the appropriateness of pursuing an MBA at this time. We also profile the experience of seven MBA students and find out why they're going this road and what they believe the education will do for them. Finally, EMBA programs get their due with a profile of offerings at 17 Canadian schools.
We hope our 17th annual MBA Guide helps you find the program that's right for you.
How to use our tables
The tables can be sorted in ascending and descending order by clicking on the name of the column of interest.
Clicking on a business school name loads a profile page with all of our information about that school.

If you don't have room for a full-sized oven and don't want to pay for a convection microwave, the Daewoo Pizza Oven Combo gives you the option of having a grill so you can make a crispier pizza than you'd get in a microwave. It has a separate compartment above the microwave oven, which has upper and lower grills. A fresh or frozen pizza can be slid into the grill on a solid metal pizza tray which has a plastic handle that folds away for storage. We put it through a short microwave test and also tried out its pizza-cooking capability with both fresh and frozen pizza.
The microwave component of the Daewoo Pizza Oven Combo worked well with most of our usual tests, though it had poor heat distribution for reheating a non-stirrable dish. When we tested the pizza compartment, we encountered a problem. After we put the pizza grill through its frozen pizza test, we removed the pizza and the handle on the tray broke. Even though the pizza was cooked very well, a broken handle is a high price to pay for one pizza. Daewoo claims that the handle may have broken due to over-tightened screws. We purchased a second sample and retested it. Although the pizza compartment cooked both fresh and frozen pizza well and the handle did not break, our tester still did not feel confident using the handle. If you think the Daewoo Pizza Oven Combo is for you, test the handle in the shop before buying to make sure it feels comfortable for you. Apart from the pizza tray handle incident, this product is easy to use. We strongly recommend that the manufacturer's warnings be closely followed and the grill compartment not be used without food in it.
The Pizza Oven Combo is a great idea, though it would be nice to see some work done to make the handle more comfortable for the customer.
21 May 2008 | But while looks may be important, they're only one of many things to think about when buying an oven.
16 Apr 2007 | If you haven't been in the market for a new oven for a while, you might be surprised to discover what they can do these days.
5 Jan 2009 | The DANOZ Flavorwave Oven Turbo claims to cook healthy meals, including frozen food, up to three times faster than ordinary methods, with no defrosting or preheating required.

The Meredith Indigenous Humanities Center (MIHC)will facilitate the planning and development of interdisciplinary, multicultural approaches to the humanities using American Indian, Aleut, and Inuit languages in addition to English and Spanish. It will initially support existing courses in Alaska and Oklahoma, as well as in Mayan speaking communities in the Yucatan, and facilitate the creation of new courses for American Indian constituencies. The model for these programs is the Clemente course concept as described in detail in Earl Shorris, Riches for the Poor: The Clemente Course in the Humanities (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2000). The Clemente concept is a simple idea: that the study of the humanities enables poor people to become fully participating citizens in a democratic society. When this concept was presented to indigenous peoples (C/Yup'ik, Cherokee, Kiowa and Maya) in their tribal languages with their own histories, reactions from students and tribal communities was positive. A demand grew for more printing of native language grammar books and treaty primers (by Cherokee & Kiowa), for changes in the presentation of native humanities to school aged students (by Yup'ik & Maya), for the addition of new courses (Chickasaw and Comanche), and the for establishment of a center to promote the humanities of indigenous peoples.
Earl Shorris and Miguel Leon-Portilla, in consultation with native Clemente course faculty and facilitators have established priorities for the Center. They include:
§ an annual native language speakers conference,
§ the purchase of equipment to share and capture oral histories, song, and stories,
§ funds for the facilitation of new indigenous Clemente-style courses throughout the Americas,
§ and the provision of a salaried staff member to coordinate activities.
USAO is prepared to work with the Meredith Indigenous Humanities Centerto raise needed matching funds. Over the past four years, our foundation has added $500,000 annually to its endowment. Working with the Department of Education's Title III Endowment Building Program, USAO will continue to add to its endowment. Since 1999, USAO has successfully raised over $1.25 million grant dollars through American Indian tribes, foundations, state sources and federal programs to support and enhance the activities of the college. USAO is now ready to increase current levels of giving and the campaign to match NEH funds will build on current fundraising success.
Individuals and corporations wishing to support the development of the Meredith Indigenous Humanities Center (MIHC)are invited to contact Michael Nealeigh.

"Excellent Flavor - Easy Draw"
I am a long time pipe smoker. At Barlow s
Shop in Lafayette, CO I tried a Padron 1926 #9
because I wanted a complex cigar with
an easy draw. It delivered on both counts.
Now, I will alternate with my oriental
and English blend pipe tobaccos.
Richard in Loveland, CO May 23, 2014
I've smoked the standard and 1964 Padrons and I always thought they were really good but nothing out of this world. That changed with the 1926 #9 Maduro. One of the best cigars I've ever had - you can believe the hype. Buy some! I bought a box right after I finished the cigar.

"Unbelievable Smoke"
The best I've ever smoked
Larry in South Bend May 20, 2012
"Bargaining chip to get into heaven"
By far the best cigar I have ever had, when I was working in a cigar shop, it was like Christmas when a box of these would come in. Not an everyday smoke due to price but for those special occasions, demand nothing less then the Padron 1926 series maduros. When I die, I want one in my pocket to get past the gates.
Andrew in Pennsylvania October 8, 2008
This is a connoisseur's delight! Not a stick for "newbies" for sure. It's complicated yet perfect in every conceivable way. For the money (and they're clearly not inexpensive) it's the best you can buy. If there's a box of sticks waiting for me in heaven then I so hope there are at least a couple of these beauties in there as well!
R. Williams II in Atlanta, GA February 22, 2008
"A Must Smoke"
One of the few ultra premium cigars that is worth the money. The smoke is full of flavor yet cool, right up to the point where you burn your fingers. Don't pass up the opportunity if given one.

I am contracted to refinish what I believe to be knotty pine paneled walls....and I may have bitten off even more than I can chew! This project is a complete mess. So ok I thought I could sand them and get them just a hair lighter which is my clients biggest complaint. Naturally I treated them and cleaned the walls down first, then tried a furniture oil to see if it brightened it up some in that room...no go. so I sanded. Big mistake. Now I have five panels that look ok and one that is bare bones white! but....its been three days of harder work than I charged for. So now what? Are there any other creative alternatives to covering wood paneling other than painting them which is absolutely out of the question for me and my very patient client. Somebody get creative...cause I can't think!
You could always stain it something dark like dark walnut. The stain won't make the lighter color stand out as much. You could always use a whitewash. It wouldn't be complete white color like painting, but a light, transparent white.
Pine is absolutely horrble to try to stain! LOL You will have dark boards and light boards, bright grain and dark.. The stain will wipe right down to bare wood in places and soak in deep and dark in others at random. The best you can do is to use an orbital sander with 120 grit, clean it up as evenly as possible. Then apply a stain evenly with a brush, wiping down after it gets a little tacky to touch. The grain will pop out and the knots will glare at you, but that is the nature of pine. Good luck brave soul!

Welcome to the Forum, NIN: There was a lot of pine used in the 50s and early 60s. It was typically sealed with orange shellac, lightly sanded or steel wooled and varnished two more coats. The best you can do for it, in my opinion, is to clean it up with Murphy Oil Soap. That will get the smoke and grime of the years off and leave the wood with a nice shine. You have my sympathy if you are trying to do any more than clean it up. Glenn
I have two main suggestions. I refinished furniture for years and learned a lot. Sq. eye is right pine can do what it wants. So as far as staining the trick is to use some netrual (natural) stain to bring the color down, that way in the spots that soak up huge amounts it wont get as dark. trial and error with lots of wiping and blending. touch up some spots with straight stain others with just the clear. wipe wipe wipe adjust wipe. steel wool works wonders also. CAUTION! Do NOT leave any rags with stain or finish on around. They will catch fire by themselves. soak in water and leave away from any structures (read the label) idea #2 use "go-jo" or "goop" or a waterless hand cleaner (w/o pumice or grit, and no citrus stuff) on some 00 or 000 or even 0000 steel wool. scrub, wipe with a rag. This has worked wonders for me. P.S bid more next time.
[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="3"][B]Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]
This will only help for next time...use a preconditioning stain called wood conditioner for pine. This is an oil like coating which is clear and helps to spread the stain eavenly. It's called wood conditioner, sold by minwax. Good luck.

Story posted October 16, 2013
Sitting in the Smith Union café, Kaptain Kilowatt's passion for energy conserving measures is palpable. His verdant cape and Robin Hood-esque cap suggest a man whose reflexes and intentions are honed specifically for energy savings investigation. And an energy investigation is just what Hannah Tennent '14 and Omar Sohail '15 desired for their Wednesday afternoon.
The following is their conversation:
HT & OS: Everyone wants to know what this energy competition is about.
KK: Bowdoin is going on twelve years hosting this competition. We realize that students, especially first years, arrive on campus from so many backgrounds. Some from households with surge protectors and draconian energy saving parents, others from households with AC units in every window and incandescents in every socket. This is the College's opportunity to get students on the same page: that saving electricity is good on many fronts.
HT & OS: Like what fronts?
KK: Economically. Last year, Bowdoin saved $2,212 in just 30 days of consciously saving electricity. 2011's competition saw $3,266 saved.
Environmentally. Last year, students saved six tons of CO2 from being emitted. Put in a more concrete analogy, that's nearly three Maine homes taken off the grid for an entire year! Think about that, just 30 days of saving electricity in some of our dorms can translate into huge savings.
Socially. I don't think it is unfair to say that conserving electricity is a socially-responsible action to take. The Common Good at Bowdoin is very prescient for how our students will live their lives post-graduation. I want them to leave realizing that we have many resources, and it's important to reduce our needs so that we can share.
HT & OS: So this competition is important. What can students do to save electricity?
KK: There are the obvious, but crucial steps: shutting off the lights when you leave a room or see no one in a room. Avoiding the elevator. Doing your laundry smarter by using cold water, washing and drying only full loads, air drying certain items.
Dorms that win generally go the extra mile. I've seen it all, from entire floors studying together under one light (or in another building entirely) to college house parties using LED string lights to having short shower competitions (hot water circulation takes electricity).
A more substantive list can be found on the Sustainability website. And energy use can be tracked real time on the Building Dashboard. I love these tools.
HT & OS: Lastly, you're looking really good lately. What's new?
KK: Flattery! I am sporting a new cape and hat. Maybe that's it. But October always gets me feeling groovy.
"This Energy Competition is a competition in every sense of the word. It's incredible to see how much energy Bowdoin students are able to conserve."

PRI (Performance Racing Industry) was from 11/29-12/1/2012. I've worked it twice before in the past: once when I was renting a pedicab and last year when I went into business for myself. The second day of the show would kind of be my first anniversary since I didn't work the first day last year. How has business been during my first year? Fantastic! This past November was my most successful month so far but 2 major life events happened that prevented me from expanding as far as I wanted to. I was talking about this with someone who was also on track to big things but that thing we called life derailed that person, too. Just when you're about to take it to the next level, you get knocked down a few pegs. Gotta take the good with the bad and most importantly, you gotta learn your lessons.
I learned mine and I've recovered but recovery doesn't mean the incidents haven't taken their toll; mainly on my pocketbook. Money used to recover was money that was supposed to be used to grow my business. A business that's growing means more money in my pocket and more and better employment opportunities for other people and existing drivers. My ambitions for 2012 had to get put on hold and now 2013 looks to be my breakout year as long as life doesn't happen as severely as it did this year. The way things look now, if I stay on the positive track, VIP Pedicab Rides WILL expand next year.
Most drivers that popped up a year ago as independents are long gone. That's just the nature of the business. I'm still here after one year of successful business. Despite the things that held me back, it was still a damn good year and PRI was the convention where I started a year ago. I made significantly more this year than last because I have a better bike now, more experience, and I'm in much better shape. When I arrived on the 29th, both the South and North parking lots were already full and I only got there 30 minutes after the exhibition started. My day still turned out great.
The next day, I still arrived 30 minutes after the exhibition began but since it opened 30 minutes earlier than the day before, that meant the parking lot wasn't as full. That meant more opportunity to make some money and get rides and my final tally for the day was more than the previous one. The weather was pleasant and made working easy. No rain but this time of year, I'd prefer it to be a little cooler. There were just enough pedicabs working on the first day but there were even more on the second yet I still came out greener. No complaints here.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: greed is good. At least it can be when applied properly. There was a Magic game that Friday night in downtown Orlando so I worked it to grab some extra cash. Working the entrance is nothing more than a waste of time but I usually get rides at the exit and with it being a Friday night, I knew it was gonna be a good night but the first 2 hours I was out working, I only got one damn ride! For a Friday night Magic game, that's unheard of and had never happened to me before. I went to all my hot spots and still got nothing. It wasn't like there were too many pedicabs out, either. I was getting discouraged but stuck with it and in a span of 4 hours, I came out very green.
With all that green comes a late working day. In combination with PRI in the day and downtown at night, it was a long day and I was tired. It was a good day to make money, that's for sure, but at the end of it all, I was more tired than I expected to be. I saw a show on NatGeo where a baby elephant was near death due to dehydration. Its herd finally made it to a watering hole after a long trek but the baby elephant couldn't walk anymore and collapsed. Its mom was gently kicking it and shoving it with her tusks towards the water, which was only a few steps away, but it was too late. The baby didn't have anything left in the tank and died even though the very thing that would've allowed it to live was right on its doorstep. I felt like that baby elephant that night. On the drive back home, I was having a hard time staying awake behind the wheel and it got to the point where it was unsafe for me to keep driving. I had to pull over and take a nap and my house was less than 5 minutes away! Barely 1 mile! I could've slept in the comfort and safety of my own home and in my bed after a nice, warm shower but nope, I was completely done.
I crashed for about an hour or two and when I got home, after getting ready to hit the hay, I considered setting my alarm clock to wake up in time to work the last day of PRI early but I opted out of that. Instead, I arrived around noon and set a goal for the 4 hours that I was gonna be there and I hit it. I missed out on the morning rush but by working downtown, I actually made more money overall so it was a good call. I managed to hit my goal because while other drivers were staging and waiting for people to exit the convention, people were still coming in and I was scooping them up with no competition in the parking lot. At the end of the day, in the past, exhibitors have used pedicabs to help move out but there was more money to be made faster elsewhere: downtown.
On each night, I didn't just go straight downtown. I went home, ate, napped, and then went to work. Saturday night, nothing special was going on. It was just a typical night and that's not a bad thing when the weather is right. I didn't make as much as I did the night before but I'm happy with my haul. Double-dipping paid off. There were other events going on in other cities but in an effort to keep expenses down and to make sure my body is well-rested, I chose not to work them. The next working day would be the I/ITSEC (Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference) convention. I've worked the convention in the past when it was at the South Concourse and there was money to make but this year it was at the West and with parking setup the way it is there, it didn't turn out so good.
On Monday 12/3/2012, the exhibitions were open for 4 hours but I skipped out on that day. The next day, I heard it was a decent day from another driver. And on that next day, the exhibitions opened a couple of hours earlier. I had no reason to believe that the parking lot would fill up before the exhibition started because that practically never happens so I arrived a little later only to find out that the parking lot was already full and I missed out on the rush. The rest of the day was a complete waste. I only got a couple of rides and went home. Usually the convention center would send overflow parking to the South but they sent it to the Rosen Centre and Rosen Plaza instead. Me and another driver discussed the tactic and we concluded that there must be some sort of agreement between the convention center and the hotels for that to happen.
Parking is big business. If they sent all that overflow to the South, not only would that be more money in the convention center's pockets (and less of our tax dollars being used to maintain and upgrade the facility) but that'd be more money in pedicab drivers' pockets, too. My assumption is that maybe they didn't have shuttle service available over there. Nor did they schedule enough employees to work the parking booths to collect money. Possibly, the convention was busier from a parking standpoint than they anticipated. If I was running things, I'd have people on call for when those situations arise. Why get a piece of the parking pie from the hotels when you can get all of it? I'm not sure what the cost of an employee is for the OCCC but sometimes it's better to keep things in-house than to outsource, right? Again, greed is good but they just weren't greedy enough, were they? And because they weren't greedy enough, I didn't make what I planned on making on the second day. Trickle-across economics wasn't in play here, unfortunately.
It wasn't a good day but the third day, Wednesday, was decent because of the IAEE (International Association of Exhibitions and Events) convention. I got to the parking lot on time and the majority of my rides were from their attendees. When the parking lot filled up and cars were sent to the hotels, I staged near the Rosen Plaza because there was a better chance to get a quality ride from there over the Centre where all people had to do was cross the street to be at the I/ITSEC convention. At the Plaza, they had to walk all the way to the other end of the building and that was used in my pitch to get one ride that was well-tipped. It'd be nice if we were allowed on property there in the Plaza parking lot. It'd make a huge difference in the service we provide and, of course, in our bottom line.
When all of the parking dried up, I went home because on Tuesday, it took hours just to get one ride and I wasn't gonna waste my time like that again. I did come back to catch the exit and I made some good money in a very short amount of time because I scheduled a pickup from some exhibitors before I went home and they came through. My money was made in the back of the West Concourse. In the front, there wasn't jack. Going to and coming from Pointe Orlando was also jack. The John Deere convention…jack! Jack for me, anyway. I was just short of my goal for the day but I ain't complaining about what I made in the time I made it. The last day started like the previous day but ended like the first. When I realized everything was dry everywhere, I went home and didn't come back. Things could've turned out much better if they would've just left it at the South or sent overflow parking there but I don't control those things. I/ITSEC was four days, I only worked 3, only one day was good and on that day, most of my rides came from another smaller convention so I can't say it was a success. If not for IAEE, the entirety of my time there would've been a waste. You win some, you lose some.
With no conventions going on last weekend and nothing going on anyplace else, that left downtown Orlando as the place to be. There were back-to-back Solar Bears games but attendance isn't significant enough for those to justify getting downtown too early. I arrived at the ideal time and both nights were good; Friday night once again being the more lucrative night. What do drunks have in common with Maggie Simpson? Neither of them can stand up for very long without falling down. How embarrassing is it to fuck yourself up so much to the point where you can't even stand up, much less walk, under your own power? I saw a guy fall down on top of his girl as they both came crashing down into the street. Another chick had to be pressed up against a wall by her peeps to keep her upright. An older guy was totally wasted and couldn't stand up no matter how many times he tried.
Age is no excuse to be that stupid but when you're older, shouldn't you know better? If you're in a relationship and the common bond is alcohol and you're still going out together and getting sloshed, is that truly a healthy relationship? If bar-hopping and clubbing is what you routinely partake in as a couple, do you really wanna get married and have kids? If you meet someone in that environment, do you really think they're gonna stop engaging in the very activity that brought you together? C'mon. One guy even fell out of a pedicab; drunk off his ass. Not that I associate with drunks and alcoholics, because I don't, but if I did, I'd get tired of that shit real quick because of the embarrassment. Drink responsibly? Please. If people did that, half of the distilleries in the country wouldn't even exist. Alcohol creates jobs and businesses, and funds the government. People ain't gonna change but laws can. And now that I think about it, I wouldn't get as many rides downtown as a pedicab driver without my drunkards so we gotta keep the liquor flowing for that alone, don't we? You'd think I'm anti-alcohol but you're wrong. I'm pro-everything. Legalization, decriminalization, and the most important aspect of them all, taxation, is what I'm all about.
It rained briefly on Saturday night and I was gonna call it a night because if it's cold or rainy, downtown ain't the place to work. But the bad weather passed swiftly and I stayed. A guy who almost tripped over my bike because he was walking backwards and not paying attention gave me a couple of bucks just for the hell of it. I like it when that happens. My last ride of the night could've been a good ride to a hotel. A guy, drunk, wanted to ride and offered to pay. His girl, drunk and dramatic, didn't wanna ride because she thought it cost too much but it wasn't her money being spent. The man with the money caved in to the chick with the attitude. That ain't how it's supposed to be. And I'll tell a bitch this shit straight up: pull some shit like that with me and I'll leave your ass behind! And I ain't joking!
If I'm paying for a service that we both need with my money (not OUR money, MY money) and it ain't costing you shit and it's saving us both time, but you wanna walk, then god dammit your ass is walking and I'm riding. Gimme the motherfuckin' keys, bitch, cuz I'm makin' it to the car first. I wouldn't involve myself with an unreasonable chick to begin with but I've seen this scenario play out so many times. And you know what? There are guys out there that think like I do; that've left their partners in the pedicab dust. That've taken themselves and their kids for a ride and left the wife behind to walk. That've taken the ride alone and let the girlfriend walk. Why? Because that's what they wanna do with their money and the emphasis is that it's THEIR money. Never let anyone ruin your fun. Never let anyone stop you from doing what you wanna do. The best way to do that? Have your own damn money to do with as you please and make sure you're wearing the pants in the relationship.
I got some new signs for my pedicab to indicate that I work for generous tips, not just, well, regular tips and it's proven to be an effective change. What was different about the most recent nights downtown was that the cops reopened Orange Avenue to traffic pretty damn early. It used to stay closed until around 4am but lately they've only been staying closed until around 2:30am to 3am. That cuts into profit by limiting the roads we can safely be on. Another trend that's been talked about is the closure of a lot of clubs and bars. My take on it is that if you're gonna open a new business, don't open something that already exists in the area. There are bars around every corner and clubs that don't offer too much different in the way of music and entertainment. You can open a new bar but it better have an atmosphere and offerings that no other bar has. You can open a new club but it better play different music and have a different ambiance than all the other clubs.
The main problem with all the recent closures downtown? The places that closed didn't do anything different than any other place already there and that's why they failed. With the clubs, a stricter dress code and higher class and quality is what the next place needs to think about. You wanna attract higher-end clientele, you gotta offer something higher-end. You wanna give off the aura of class and quality, you gotta tell people wearing t-shirts, baseball caps, jeans, and sneakers to fuck off. That's a huge part of what's wrong with downtown. Not just the lack of a dress code but also not much is tailored to the older or non-party crowd. There's no lounge for people to chill and listen to live jazz music. No internet café which could also host LAN parties. No place to play billiards and only billiards. No arcade. No record store. No retailers. No fast food joints. No restaurants, bars, or clubs located on the top floors of the tall buildings. I could go on and on about what's missing downtown. I don't hang out there because it only caters to the young clubbers and bar-hoppers. All that vacant space down there, the city needs to put effort into attracting something totally different to bring people like me and the more affluent crowd in. And the more shit there is for people to do, the more diverse the crowd, that means more money in everyone's pockets. Mine in particular because…greed is good!

Cabin fever is really starting to get to us so the best cure was to go out today and find some easy caches. We found all 20 that we looked for although several took quite a bit of digging to get them out. The beacons were all pretty obvious, but we still had a good time driving around in the winter wonderland. Two holes in the post and no cache so we left a replacement. TFTC

I hope you had your Kleenex handy, because this week's 'Originals' was a doozy!
The Originals delivered its biggest — not to mention most devastating — episode yet Jan. 21, revealing that a "sinister" enemy is already in our midst, while claiming the life of a fan-favorite character. Honestly, this episode felt like a season finale, even more so than last week's episode.
R.I.P., Tiny Adorable Witch
OK, let's start with the big death. In an attempt to complete the Harvest and save her 'friends' from certain destruction, Davina (Danielle Campbell) voluntarily allowed Sophie (Daniella Pineda) to slit her throat, but like most of Sophie's plans, things did not end well. Not only did zero of the sacrificed witches come back to life, including Sophie's niece, but the Big Easy's most clueless spell caster has no idea who took on their powers.
Needless to say, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) took Davina's apparent death worse than anyone else, flying off in a crazy rage. The surprising turn, however, came when Klaus (Joseph Morgan) followed him to offer some friendly compassion — and a hug. Yes, the same Klaus that has killed so many beloved characters during his time on The CW actually showed a glimmer of human emotion. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own two eyes.
As for who took on the witches' powers, that answer was saved until the episode's final moments, and for good reason. It turns out "Sabine" isn't who she claims to be; she's actually the infamous Celeste DuBois, which explains why Sophie wasn't able to consecrate her bones earlier in the hour!
#Haylijah's Close Encounter
Speaking of Celeste, her ex-boyfriend shared a pretty steamy scene with his brother's werewolf baby mama this week. After Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) came clean about helping Sophie dig up Celeste's remains, I was sure Elijah (Daniel Gillies) would fly off the handle — until Klaus reminded us that his well-groomed bro is a master of forgiveness.
Not only is he not completely furious with Hayley for forcing him to break his promise to Celeste, but Elijah came closer to kissing Hayley than ever! Like, closer than that time they almost kissed in the pool, and that other time they almost kissed when he helped her slip in (and out) of her casket girl dress.
You don't need me to tell you this, but Daniel and Phoebe's chemistry is off the damn charts, and I'm loving how slowly they're building this whole Elijah/Hayley dynamic.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Davina is really dead for good? Were you shocked by the Sabine/Celeste twist? And how badly do you just want Elijah and Hayley to bone?! Drop a comment with your review of the episode below.

Sabine has been lying all this times…that s why she knew who Elijah was when Elijah came back for the first time in New Orleans…and she called him by his name , Elijah asked her how did she know who he was..she said because Elijah is the Original always wearing a suit….That was a lied ,She knows him from the biginning because she was celest under a fake name..

I think that Davina will unfortunately will not come back. And I think you know this through Tims death which was kind of unnecessary.
It's like since Davina will stay dead they don't need Tim anymore and it was the easiest to kill his character instead of him questioning the disappearance of her and giving him any more screen time.
However, I hope I am wrong and she will be back once they have killed the resurrected elders.

BEST EPISODE OF THE SHOW SO FAR! R.I.P litte Davina, poor Marcel was heartbroken, i'm sure she's going to come back. I just adore the Hayley/Elijah slow burn, the chemistry is off the charts. I saw the Sabine=Celeste twist coming, but it was still awesome. And Klaus was kind to everyone.
Posted at 5:05 AM on January 22, 2014
Sabine will die, Davina will come back. 4 rose because Sabine/Celeste CHOSE them. So could be, when dead. Sacrificees will come back. Davina has been amazing to watch. I'd like her to come back: Stronger than ever – as a result of holding the power for so long. So this way they could keep her super powerful – The spell That sabine did when Davina killed her in the church ? Was performed BEFORE she died the first time. Elijah did bury her – but she wasn't completely dead. Only reason I figure she looks so good at 200 lol – Great show – amazing episode. I was practically in tears and Im almost friggin 30 ? and Klause ? Well get you having a heart !! Just gets better !! and – as a last thought – Id like to see Sophie working WITH the originals for a change – amicably. Maybe against celeste – Awesome !!

5 Money-Making Lessons from 2008's Market Crash
by Dan Caplinger Sep 15th 2013 6:00AM
Financial markets have largely recovered from 2008's crash, but the impact of the financial crisis is still being felt.
In honor of this fifth anniversary, here are five lessons from the crash that you can use to make more money from your investments now and in the future.
Lesson 1: Investing Is Risky
Investors came into 2008 having seen a huge five-year market recovery from the bursting of the Internet bubble early in the decade. Despite the Dow Jones Industrials (^DJI) and other market benchmarks having hit record high levels, investors seemed convinced that stocks would keep rising smoothly well into the future.
That optimism left many investors woefully unprepared for the risks of serious downturn.
Today, U.S. stock markets are again at or near record highs. If you've taken advantage of rising markets by investing in equities, now's a good time to look at the overall risk level in your portfolio with an eye toward selling off portions of assets in which you're over-concentrated. A crash might not happen anytime soon, but stocks do fall as well as rise. Preparing for a decline now is far better than waiting until after the crash has happened to adjust.
Lesson 2: Markets Can Recover Even From Huge Losses in the Long Run
Unfortunately, many investors never got the chance to recover their losses from the stock market crash. That's because they sold off their stock holdings while the markets were falling. As the various reforms and government programs designed to stabilize the system to took effect, and the financial system rebounded. But many who had lost money were still too skittish to wade back into stocks.
Of course, stock markets didn't recover overnight. But after only a few years, they regained their former heights, and have gone on to rise even higher. Those who let short-term panic drive them out missed much of that recovery.
Not letting fear drive your responses during market drops is essential to long-term investing success. Emotionally driven decisions can sabotage years of careful financial planning. If you want to be a successful investor, it's essential for you to build and maintain discipline that will withstand even sharp declines.
Lesson 3: Diversification Doesn't Always Work
One basic lesson investors are taught is that owning different assets can protect you from market downturns. From 2000 to 2002, for instance, when the Internet bubble burst, tech stocks plunged. But many blue-chip stocks based on so-called "old-economy" business models actually posted gains. Similarly, in past downturns for U.S. stocks, international markets often thrived.
But during the 2008 crash, just about everything fell in tandem, leaving investors with few places to hide from serious losses.
The lesson here isn't to give up on diversification entirely. But you need to recognize that in a wide-ranging crisis situation, you can't always count on some investments going up to cover losses in others. Planning accordingly in your investing strategy is crucial to avoid ugly surprises.
Lesson 4: Even Experts Make Major Mistakes
One lingering question many Americans have is why so many expert economists and market trackers failed to foresee the bursting of the housing bubble and the subsequent crashes in home prices and the stock market. Yet much of their complacency likely came from the conceit that financial experts had managed to tame the markets.
As Robert Samuelson wrote in 2009 in his review of economist Niall Ferguson's "The Ascent of Money," economists "widely assumed that deposit insurance and the existence of the Federal Reserve would prevent financial panics." That simple assumption proved catastrophically wrong, leading to a failure to take steps to resolve potential problems until it was almost too late.
That's why it's critical to come to your own judgments about investing. Relying solely on experts can put your entire wealth at risk if they turn out to be wrong.
Lesson 5: Panics Bring the Best Investment Opportunities
In 2008, most investors were looking for ways to get out of stocks. But brave investors found that even solid companies with plenty of potential had seen their stock prices punished, leaving them huge bargains.
Fears that consumers would stop buying $4 coffee sent Starbucks (SBUX) shares below $8, but those concerns proved ridiculous, and the stock has recovered to nearly ten times that value since. Priceline.com (PCLN) shares fell to nearly $50 as travel activity fell. But the assumption that travelers would never again take to the skies in the numbers they once had was equally misguided, and the stock is now approaching the $1,000 mark.
As painful as crashes can be for your existing investments, they can give you your best future investing opportunities. Be ready for them before they come, and have your wish list prepared in advance to give you the best chance of getting a great deal.
Learn From Your Mistakes
Few investors did everything perfectly five years ago during the 2008 crash. But the lessons the crash taught you can help you avoid the most common mistakes the next time the markets tumble.
1. Compound interest is what will make you rich. And it takes time.
Warren Buffett is a great investor, but what makes him rich is that he's been a great investor for two thirds of a century. Of his current $60 billion net worth, $59.7 billion was added after his 50th birthday, and $57 billion came after his 60th. If Buffett started saving in his 30s and retired in his 60s, you would have never heard of him. His secret is time.
Most people don't start saving in meaningful amounts until a decade or two before retirement, which severely limits the power of compounding. That's unfortunate, and there's no way to fix it retroactively. It's a good reminder of how important it is to teach young people to start saving as soon as possible.

Match Preview
Celtic seek UEFA comments over referee Celtic will seek "clarification" from UEFA over referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco's performance in the 3-0 Champions League defeat by Juventus at Parkhead on Tuesday night, manager Neil Lennon has revealed. The Spanish official came in for widespread criticism of the way he allowed the Serie A side to manhandle Celtic players at times in the penalty area during the first leg of their last 16 tie. Lennon was seething after the game and ahead of Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Dundee United at Parkhead he confirmed that the Scottish champions would be looking for an explanation from European football's governing body. He said: "The referee didn't do his job and there has been a lot of talk since Tuesday night regarding it, so we are looking for clarification on the referee's decisions during the game. "We are going to compile a DVD and send it to them (UEFA) and wait and see what answers we do get. "It's a myth that Juventus `did their homework'. That's rubbish. Juventus defend like that week-in, week-out in Serie A. "If anything we had done our homework and we made sure the referee was aware of it and he was looking at it time and again and Juventus went unpunished. "We needed a strong referee and we didn't have that. "It was blatant. I have seen photographs where the shirt was almost pulled off Gary Hooper's back and he ends up in the goal at one stage. "I admire Gary for keeping his cool, if it had been me I might have got sent off for something I would have regretted later on. "Gianluca Vialli (former Juventus skipper) said we should have had two penalties, Graham Poll and Dermot Gallagher (former referees).....Trevor Francis said that even in his time playing in the 80s (in Italy) it was never as blatant as what he seen the other night, so these guys can't all be wrong and the referee right." The fall-out from the Juventus defeat, which almost certainly renders the return game in Turin redundant, dominated Lennon's press conference at the club's Lennoxtown training complex. But on Saturday afternoon, as Celtic return to domestic duties, Lennon will come up against one of his former Hoops team mates, Jackie McNamara, who recently took charge of the Taysiders. He said: "I think he has taken over a good squad, Peter (Houston) left Dundee United pretty healthy. "Probably league results didn't reflect that but Jackie has changed things around a little bit." Lennon has several injury concerns ahead of the game. Skipper Scott Brown (abductor) and defender Rami Gershon (thigh strain) are out while there are serious doubts over defender Mikael Lustig (thigh) and midfielder Victor Wanyama (swollen ankle). Greece striker Georgios Samaras has battled back from a hamstring injury but he will not start training until next week. Dundee United winger Gary Mackay-Steven expects to face a Celtic backlash following their Champions League defeat by Juventus. Mackay-Steven feels Celtic will be raring to bounce back after some missed chances and defensive errors undermined an impressive overall display in their 3-0 home loss on Tuesday night. Celtic have faltered after a number of Champions League games this season but Mackay-Steven, whose team lost 4-0 at Celtic Park last month, said: "I think it will be as difficult as it always is. "Going to Parkhead is never easy and they will be looking to get a positive result after what happened on Tuesday. "They will be at the races so we need to make sure we are. "They will be right up for the game. I felt they played well on Tuesday night and were unlucky to lose 3-0. "They will definitely be looking to bounce back so we will need to perform as well as we can to get anything from the game." United go into the game on a high after recording two victories and six goals, against Rangers and Hearts, in their opening two matches under Jackie McNamara. Mackay-Steven said: "We will be confident, we have done well in the last few games. "Hopefully we can start off well and keep that going. "Not too much has changed. The manager has come in with a few different ideas in training. "He is great to work with and speaks well to the boys. "Everyone is flying in training and enjoying it again. "Peter Houston did a great job as well but the new manager has his own ideas and it has been a fresh start for everyone, even the boys that have not been playing. "It's a fresh chance for everyone to prove themselves and it has kept everyone on their toes." United will be without Gavin Gunning after the defender suffered a knee injury that could finish his season. Willo Flood is also a doubt after being hit with illness earlier in the week but striker Jon Daly has shaken off a knock he picked up against Hearts last weekend.

Astro Decor Competition Finalist 3: Chez Teenage Pisces
"Hi Mystic! Here is a picture of my bedroom as a teenager (not SO long ago…). It was my happy movie fantasy escape land. Note the heavy Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings poster business. I think the Christmas lights gave it an ethereal, soothing quality.
I'm a 12th house Pisces Sun/Mercury (RX)/Jupiter, and then I've got Neptune smack on my midheaven (MOVIES! FANTASY MOVIES!) Not sure if you can tell due to the lighting, but there IS a fishbowl on my dresser. Christmas lights were lovingly wrapped around the bowl so he could enjoy them, too. His name was Harry!
It's a shame you can't see the ceiling–glow in the dark stars galore! In the pattern of constellations, of course.
Note about the large Harry Potter poster: it's from the first movie, but it's my favorite poster ever, and is still on my wall to this day (though now it is framed). It has my favorite tagline written on it: "journey beyond your imagination."
I didn't know it at the time, but I was positively TRIPPING over all my Pisces/Neptune/12th house stuff!…"
Big poster-pics with the mantra of the moment or some inspirational slogan is totally Pisces/Neptune/12th House. It's also oft seen as an ever-changing mood board, to keep the Pisces-Neptunian ON MISSION. Cosmic mission, that it. I went to a Piscean place the other day and it had slogans-mantra-affirmations everywhere; from "Stop Eating Shit" on the fridge to "I Am The Embodiment Of Universal Love" in lipstick on the bathroom mirror.

We feel that Political Science best prepares students for law school for a number of reasons. For one thing, we have structured our courses and the requirements for the major around two criteria: improving our students' ability to write and to think critically. This allows students to perform well on admissions tests, such as the LSAT and the GRE, and enables them to succeed well beyond the time they spend with us. These factors, combined with Sacred Heart's dedication to a well-rounded liberal arts education, allow our graduates to excel at whatever they choose to do after graduation.
If you are interested in attending law school after graduation, as over 25% of our graduates do, you should know that our department has an exceptional history of placing students in good law schools—including Cornell, Vanderbilt, Boston College, Boston University, New York University, Rutgers, Suffolk, the University of Washington, the University of North Carolina, Southern Methodist University, the University of Connecticut, George Washington University, Syracuse, Kansas University, Villanova, and the University of Maine.
To help facilitate the transition, the Department's Pre-Law Club serves the academic, professional, and social needs of students on their way to law school.
Applying for law school is very similar to any academic or professional program, in that it begins more than a year before you attend your first class. With that in mind, here is some other information you should know about applying to law school.
For more information, contact Dr. Steven Michels, the pre-law advisor for the Department.

Flying Payload
Name: Unknown Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
Suppose you had a plane with a 2000 lb payload (it could not fly if carrying over 2000 lbs) and you stuffed 2000 pounds of birds into the plane. If the birds began flying in the plane, could the plane now take off?
The question really is, is the total weight of the plane changed by the activities of those birds flying around inside it? The answer is that it cannot be. The birds are supporting their weight in the air by flapping their wings, certainly, and this increases the air pressure on the ground, but the total force on the floor of the plane is the same whether the birds are sitting on the floor or flying steadily around in it. Now, if the birds were not actually flying, but were jumping up and down then the force on the floor might fluctuate - if the birds were all coordinated the force could be quite large for a short while, and then very small until they hit the floor again. Over time the weight would still average out to the same 2000 pounds, though, and the plane should be able to take off (maybe with a few bumps and jumps).
A. Smith
I completely agree with the first response, but would like to add the following twist. Imagine this is not a pressurized plane. In fact all the windows are open and the atmosphere in the plane mixes freely with the outside. Now the birds flying does indeed decrease the weight of the plane.
