While Nintendo's Virtual Boy was a big commercial flop, its games, which were unique at the time, may be getting revived as part of the 3DS's Virtual Console.
At a shareholder meeting, it was suggested by someone that they would like to see Virtual Boy games added to the 3DS Virtual Console, along with the existing library of NES, Game Gear, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata gave them an answer that may not necessarily be a "yes," but it isn't a definite "no" either.
"I cannot talk about any unannounced products on occasions like this, but Virtual Boy is a game console Nintendo launched in the past that allows players to experience a 3D world in black and red only by just looking into it. It was not a commercial success, but some say that it was an attractive and extremely unique product by the standards at that time. I believe your comment is that we should take advantage of our software assets from Virtual Boy and I would like to take note of that advice for the future."
While the Virtual Boy used primitive 3D technology, porting these games on the 3DS could be a saving grace for the few unique 3D games that not many gamers got to experience, such as Mario Clash.

Pierce News…

March Sesquicentennial Event
Sunday, March 14 at 2 p.m. marks the date for an old fashioned pie social at the Community Center. Featured guest speaker will be the Forest Service's own Robin Johnston, PHD historian and anthropologist. Robin's topic will be "The Interdependence of Communities on the Mining Frontier".
Those of you who have heard Mr. Johnston before know this will be a presentation you won't want to miss. Pies and refreshments will be furnished for all to enjoy. Please mark your calendar and join us for a memorable event this Sunday. Miner's claim cards will be stamped at this gathering.
1860 Days
Thanks to all of you for being at this important meeting! And for those who couldn't make it this time, there will be plenty of other chances!
Those present were: Lori
Franchini, Bob Blanke, Lonnie and Nancy Cowger, Diane and Greg Gerot, Lindsay
Rukavina, Rob Harrell, Bill Young, Leia Van Hook, and Kathy Coles. (If I missed
anyone, I do apologize! I didn't write your names down--we'll do that next
Our bank account info for the coming year is: Reg. checking: $ 2957.01, and the
CD: $3112.07. We know we have a tall order to deliver this year, being the 50th
of 1860 Days and the 150th of Pierce. This is a good start financially.
The theme for this year; discussion was favoring intertwining the two anniversaries, with emphasis on the sesquicentennial. The theme that was chosen was "1860 - 2010: 150 Years of Golden Memories". Start checking your attics and closets for those historical photos of yourself and the area-especially prior to 1860 Days events. We want to display as many photos as we can during the week end.
The Crankers Club out of Lewiston is very interested in participating this year, and will include 1860 Days in their publicity. They will be coming up for Saturday only, and we discussed the need for a total participant count deadline, so we can accommodate the club properly. As soon as we have a press release, the Crankers will include it in their newsletters, etc.
Leia Van Hook heads up vendors
Leia Van Hook has agreed to organize vendors again; some letters have gone out by mail and email. We currently have six (one in today) vendors; five food and one craft. There are about 17 spaces on Main Street, and past vendors who respond early receive their choice of space. Discussion of the amount of food vendors led to agreement that they should not be limited in number, just encourage variety.
IDOT will be sending paperwork for the highway closure. Everyone was in agreement that we should get the permit for both Saturday and Sunday, even if we don't use it for Sunday. We will be asking IDOT about their itinerary of the highway repair. Reiterated that the closure pertains to all motorized vehicles for the hours events are held on Main St.
ATV Club
Bill Young was introduced, from the ATV Club, he spoke about the clubs plans to purchase an ATV and publicize it in parades around the area during the summer. 1860 Days will share in the participation of parades, thereby publicizing both entities on one float. This will be coordinated further at the next meeting.
Nancy Cowger stated that it would be the perfect time to begin selling drawing tickets/t-shirts, etc. Judy and Dennis McCollum have agreed to take on the parade coordination, and we will be getting out notices about the parade soon in press releases. It seems to be too early for registration, but we have a good database from last year's participants, so we will make sure they are contacted. Thank you Judy and Dennis!
Drawing prizes
Drawing prizes: Dan Vaughan is donating a 1/2 oz. gold miner charm for our drawing again. Thanks, Dan!
Butler Trailer Manufacturing has been contacted, and we don't know if they are willing to donate again. Various possible donors were mentioned, and we will be contacting them and others as they come to mind. This is something everyone needs to work on now, if we are going to begin soon.
Butler Manufacturing and Jerry Coles will once again donate their trailers for the stage on Main Street.
Grand Marshal nominations
1860 Days committee is asking
for your input on nominations for Grand Marshal for this year. Also if you know
anybody who has been Grand marshal in the past 50 years, let us know so we can
contact them to be honored once again in the parade.
Lindsay Rukavina introduced the invitation to build a hilltop coed softball
team, to play in the tournament at 1860 Days. She is looking for more players,
Lindsay and Autumn Lane would connect for information on that tournament.
Lindsay's phone number is
464-1362 or
464-2274 if you have someone in mind who might be interested.
The next meeting will be March 11 at 6pm at the Blue Moose. The schedule of events will be discussed among other topics. If you have any ideas, we invite you to be here at that time. This will be a great celebration, and everyone is encouraged to be involved. If you can't make the meeting, but wish to be heard, please call Kathy at 464 1083, or email at email@example.com. Thanks to all of you who make the meetings; this couldn't be done without you!
Senior fundraiser
Krispy Kreme donuts are being sold by the senior Class. They are working towards taking a trip the week end before graduation. Contact me before March 22 to place your order.
Timberline Lions Club
There will be a work party at the Club March 27, starts at 10 a.m. The Pierce Community Center and pool are arranging fundraisers for the operations cost of the pool. We received a letter from the manager: Brandi Crawford she reported that the Center will need about $13,000 to operate the pool for the upcoming fiscal year.
The Lions voted to have a fundraiser for that particular project. Deadline for the CookBook recipes is March 25. So people that would like to add their favorite dishes to the book, need to bring them to the Club on or before that day. Our meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Thursday at 6 pm.
Pierce/Weippe ATV
The first meeting held March 4 of the new season had a great turn out of 21 enthusiastic people. They held nominations and elections with Bill Young as president; Ben Johnson, vice-president; Julie Grandstaff and Alison Young will share the sec/treasurer position.
The club decided to hold their meetings the 1st Friday of each month 7 at pm at the Lion's Club, followed by a club members trail ride the 1st Saturday of each month. The 1st trail ride had 14 riders (of all ages), they rode 31 miles through the Calhoun and Snake Ridge areas. They plan to have a Fun Run in June and to bring back the traditional 1860 Days ride August 7. The club will be sponsoring the give away of a Suzuki 250, with the drawing being held over 1860 Days.
Sesquicentennial Task Force meeting
The next Task Force meeting
will be held 7pm Thursday March 18th. I am looking so forward to this time. It
should be simply outstanding!
Thanks to Kathy Coles for getting out the flyers, Patricia Jacks for
coordinating the event
(let us know how we can help), and to Leslie Potratz for getting it in the paper
for us! See you there!
Historical Preservation
The Pierce Historical Preservation Committee is looking for a working, 16mm movie projector to view some of the movie reels that have been turned in for the DVD Project. If you have one of these old projectors you are quite fortunate.
We would only need the
projector for one day, and would return it the next day to the owner. So far, we
have collected some amazing footage and photos for the first "A Story
of Pierce" DVD.
If anyone has been hesitating to turn in photos or an old story of the town that we never want to lose, please do now as the project storyboard and acquired photos will be going to the photo technician the first of May.
To turn in photos or deliver a 16mm projector, please contact Studio 205 or 464-1057.

Over 185,000 Participants Counted as Big Cleanup Ends in Latvia
RĪGA, Apr 21, BNS - Altogether, 185,621 people turned out for the annual Big Cleanup in Latvia this Saturday, the project's spokeswoman Dace Jaunupe-Bargā told BNS.
With information from regional coordinators still coming in, the data is constantly updated, and the final figure might be announced only on Monday, organizers said.
The organizers hope that last year's record of 190,000 participants will be beaten this year. According to their estimates, up to 230,000 people might have taken part in the Big Cleanup this year.
"We hope for 230,000," said Jaunupe-Bargā.
Many participants are enjoying the fine weather and not rushing to provide the organizers with information on the total number of people taking part in the cleanup and the amount of trash collected.
The organizers, however, have been told that in some locations participants have run out of the official yellow trash bags and have had to provide their own bags in order to remove the collected waste.
A record-high number of sites had been registered for this year's the Big Cleanup in Latvia. The number of sites to be cleaned up during the campaign this weekend grew by 153 from last year to 1,490 this year, the campaign's spokeswoman told BNS.
The idea of the Big Cleanup is based on the principle of voluntarism. Latvian writer and diplomat Anna Zigure borrowed the idea from Estonia, which held the first nationwide cleanup campaign on May 3, 2008.
The goal of the project is to make Latvia the cleanest and tidiest country in the world by 2018 when the Republic of Latvia will be marking its centenary.

When A. Lange & Sohne releases a new watch, you pay attention. Here is some pre-SIHH news that we're thrilled to share with you. The Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" combines a fusée-and-chain transmission with a tourbillon. But, this isn't just any tourbillon, it's a dead-beat seconds tourbillon that hacks.
The purpose of the dead-beat mechanism hacking mechanism in this case, or "stop seconds" as Lange puts it, is to allow for high precision in setting. The tourbillon, which acts as the seconds indicator, can be halted simply by pulling out the crown. This allows the wearer to set their watch not to the minute like we do on most mechcanical watches, but to the actual second.
Now, so much of the appeal of a tourbillon is the dance on the dial, but here, a portion of the tourbillon cage is blocked by the hour dial. To compensate for that, Lange has engineered a mechanism that actually hides part of the hour dial during the time between 12 and 6 o'clock. At 6, a dial segment with the Roman numerals VIII, IX, and X instantaneously pivots into the aperture to make the hour scale complete.
The Richard Lange Tourbillon is only the fourth piece to receive the "Pour le Merite" distinction since the rebirth of the brand in 1994. Each piece is driven by a fusée-and-chain transmission. Essentially, this allows for constant power delivery both while the watch is being wound and while the movement works through its power reserve.
The Richard Lange Tourbillon Pour le Merite will be 41.9mm in diameter and be available in rose gold and platinum. The platinum version will be limited to only 100 pieces.
Hello, new grail watch.
The pink gold, non-limited version will retail for 145,000 euros and the platinum, limited to 100 version will be 175,000 euros.

I am a 6'3 muscle bound newbie actor but i feel like im stiff when acting sometime's would dance classes help me loosen up and gain confidence with my posture? and what sort of dance would be good for me? if any at all thanks | ||
Robert DeNiro |
If you're just looking to loosen up and gain confidence with your body and posture, I wonder if yoga might be a better choice? That's all about stretching, loosening up, listening to your body and being in tune with it, balance and coordination, etc. For dance, ballet is the foundation for everything, so that would be a good choice. | |||
Denzel Washington |
Ballet, contemporary and jazz are very beneficial. Hiphop can be good, too, as long as you find someone who truly teaches fundamentals. Also look into yoga, t'ai chi ch'uan and gymnastics. I saw your pics on another thread and something else that would be very valuable to someone in your type range is combat certifications. The more weapons the better. Maybe check with someone at NIDA to cue you in to where to get that training if they don't teach workshops themselves. | |||
Sean Penn |
Thankyou for the advice TMR and Fishgurl i appreciate it. I think i might call NIDA thank's. | |||
Russell Crowe |
Alexander work is also very very good for actors, as it helps to undo tension and lets us notice how we use our bodies. | |||
Kevin Bacon |
Yoga has changed my life. I go 5 times a week and it's loosened up my acting and gotten me more in my body. It takes time, but it really gets you grounded and connected. When I lose sight of myself in an audition I breath and feel the ground under my feet. | |||
Newbie |
I'm a movement teacher and director and I have to say, with the right intention and teaching methodologies, any movement practice you take on can help your acting. When you're looking for classes be sure to find a place that connects the mind to the body and really feeds your ability to connect to concentration and imagination with both the mind and the body. Yoga is great for your body and your spirituality, but for it to be beneficial to the actor it has to be taught with that purpose in mind. I teach a yoga for actors and some movement for actors workshops in the city, take a look and see if you think any of it might be helpful for you!

Walt Patterson On Energy
If you're visiting us for the first time, Home is a good place to start. Title and Welcome will bring you back here. My current project for Chatham House and the Sussex Energy Group, is 'Managing Energy: Rethinking The Fundamentals'. After a series of Working Papers challenging the conventional view of energy in society, and proposing a more promising vision, the project has evolved into a book entitled Electricity Vs Fire: The Fight For Our Future, to be published online later this spring. A working paper entitled 'Beyond The Fire Age', published in November 2013, offers a preview, as does my column in Modern Power Systems, January 2014. In February 2014 at University College London I gave a seminar on the analysis, which you can see here. On 13 May, at the Deloitte annual Energy Conference in Washington DC, developing the analysis further, I asked 'What Should Governments Do About Energy?'. On 24 June, at the Energy Institute conference in London on 'Energy Systems', I called for us to move 'Beyond The Fire Economy', as you can see here. Twenty-five years ago, in 1990, Friends of the Earth invited me to deliver their John Preedy memorial lecture. In my archives I recently found the text of my lecture, entitled The Energy Alternative. It gives an uncanny early foretaste of my current work. The Energy Institute, celebrating its centenary, in its glossy monthly Energy World, February 2014, invited me to 'Look Back To Look Forward'. The latest inexplicable resurgence of enthusiasm for fast breeder reactors prompted me to dust off a report I wrote in 1984, entitled 'Super-Phenix: Ashes To Ashes?'. With the invaluable help of Josep 'Pep' Puig of the Grup de Cientifics i Tècnics per un Futur No Nuclear in Barcelona, we are now able to offer Spanish readers a download of the first edition of my book Nuclear Power in Spanish. My most recent book, Keeping The Lights On: Towards Sustainable Electricity, is also available in paperback.

Hotels near the Atholl Highlanders' Parade & Highland Games
Atholl Highlanders' Parade & Highland Games
The Atholl Gathering marks one of the season's first Highland Games. The festival starts with the Parade of the Atholl Highlanders - Britain's only legitimate private army. Highlights include highland dancing, piping, races, competitive feats of strength and caber tossing.
The festival always takes place over the last full weekend of May with the parade on the Saturday and the games on the Sunday.
The Atholl Highlanders were first formed by the fourth Duke of Atholl in 1778, who intended the 1000 men to fight in the American War of Independence. However, in later years Queen Victoria presented the Highlanders with two colours in recognition of their services while she stayed at Blair Castle in 1844. Those colours are still at the heart of the spectacular parade.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Edinburgh becomes an altogether different, wilder animal during the festivalwell, festivals, to be precise. The edgy Fringe (comedy, contemporary music, theater, and dance), the highbrow Edinburgh International Festival (classical music, theater, opera, and dance), the Edinburgh Art Festival, and the International Book Festival, all run concurrently through August. The International Film Festival was moved to June in 2008, although there are suggestions that it may move back.
The Fringe is the world's largest arts fest on its own, and a full-on party from beginning to end, thanks in part to the 17,000 artists and performers who decamp here from all over the world. (The population doubles, so book accommodations as early as possible and expect inflated rates.) The Fringe is open to all "performers," so quality can range from the unwatchable (students from the back of beyond massacring Shakespeare) to the outstanding (Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, and Craig Ferguson all got their start here). There are also niche performances that you'll have to see to believe, like a retelling of Ovid's Metamorphoses performed in a swimming pool. Look to The Scotsman, London's Guardian, and Edinburgh arts and entertainment magazine The List to ensure that you don't book a dud. For more sober arts fans, the EIF is a full-on culture fix, with performances that might include all of Beethoven's string quartets over three days, Wagner's complete Ring Cycle, and an American Repertory Theater production of Chekhov's Three Sisters. There's less fanfare around the book, art; and film festivals, but they're not poor relations: Year after year they turn out world-class programs. Start checking the festival Web sites in June, and book early.
For a completely different view of the city, try Edinburgh's Hogmanay or New Year celebrations, which attract tens of thousands of revelers from all over the world. A street party, torchlight processions, riotous ceilidhs, fireworks over Edinburgh Castle, and open-air concerts featuring bands such as Primal Scream, Kasabian, and the Scissor Sisters all help ring in the New Year.—Update by Jonathan Trew

Valentine's Day Candy at To the Moon Marketplace
Clean Plate Charlie caught up with To the Moon Marketplace owner Antonio Dumas, who gave us a sneak peek at some of the sweet treats the shop is offering for Valentine's Day. We stood by while he broke open boxes that came back with him from a national candy convention. We were like a kid at Christmas, watching him unpack one delicious goody after another.
Here are some of our favorites:

5lb World's Largest Gummi Bear. This cherry-flavored bit of gummy goodness is supposed to take the average candy consumer several weeks to eat. Apparently they don't know Charlie, who has never met a gummy he doesn't like.
Milk Chocolate Pecan Myrtles. Antonio described these gooey chocolate-caramel clusters as "way better than your standard Turtles."
Conversation Heart Lollipops. Sucker your sweetheart into thinking you're a hopeless romantic by giving her one of these colorful lollipops.

I believe in the concept of Karma. Not in the mystic sense, but more in the "Big Data" sense, the Chaos Theory sense, the Economists' "Unintended Consequences" sense, the Software Architect's "Action at a distance" design flaw. Given a sufficiently limiting scope of time ( say a human lifetime ) and a real or virtual community (the state of Texas, the Stack Exchange community, the Milwaukee Startup Scene) your actions will come back to you. It's never a good idea to make that hard sale, it's better to say to that customer "Listen, this is our value proposition, but it's starting to look like we may not be a fit right now." It's better to tell that potential employee "Listen, I'd love to have you, but I get a sense from the questions you're asking that we can't give you that kind of environment right now." Yes, there are many people out there who won't recognize what you've done for them with your honesty. Some will even hold you in contempt for it, "Moron! He almost got me to sign!" Generally speaking, though, people in America are generally good. Half of them are of above average intelligence. The next time that failed business deal needs to be sure they get an honest answer, they may remember the person who gave them the truth to their own detriment. The almost-employee refers their friends to you, the almost-client mentions you to their friends. It's a long term view in a world that focuses on short-horizon $200million startup exits. It's a view worth considering.

I've been reading Alex St. John's blog for a while, and it's just amazing. His stories of ancient Microsoft history, his tracing popular video game features to fundamental human behavior shaped by evolution, his insistence on the importance of hard work and commentary American Privilege. A couple of his articles lately, though, have kicked me right in the throat. If you have any entrepreneurial aspirations, I highly recommend:
Educated Idiots
Café Easy
I might also throw in this less recent one from Hanselman:
I'm a Phony. Are you?
I sometimes feel like these articles were written directly to me, probably because I've internalized a lot of guilt. Guilt about not taking action on my ideas. After all, since software is eating the world it doesn't seemed too far fetched that every competent software developer is sitting on a gold mine. The only thing between me and amazing success is the will to make it so. Yet, I have no idea what I did with my 20s (professionally) and despite often thinking about and working on business ideas, I'm still a wantrepreneur in my late 30s. The Saint's comments on work-life balance are what really got to me. My week night schedule might be something like:
• Get up at a questionably late hour, go to my good-paying job. • Come home, make an unnecessarily elaborate dinner. • Hang out with kids, clean up, etc. • Hang out with wife • Devote a few pre-bedtime brain cycles to open source projects, blogging, continuous learning, and modeling stuff for one of my business ideas.
Unsurprisingly, I can think of no successful business owners who share my story. Have you ever read an interview with a truly successful individual that sounded anything like "Yeah, we worked 10 hours a week or so on this, no big deal, until it was done and we hit it big."
I'm doing better than I ever have before in my life, yet it's still not enough. One of the reasons why I haven't been participating in community as much is because I've been writing huge amounts of code. It's not enough, it's not getting done fast enough for my taste. There needs to be more hard work. Some people may find themselves in an existential dilemma trying to figure out what to cut out so there's time for more productive work. In my case, this has been an evil exercise. I shouldn't spend less time with my kids! Surely not less time with my wife! I need my sleep and exercise. I need my movies and video games to decompress from the "hard work" and "stress" of my day job. Yet I shed a tear when I think about how much time I played Diablo 3 last year. (Not really, but I should be ashamed!).
This is where The Saint's words hit home. If you're content with the overall trajectory of your life and career, there would be nothing wrong with seeking balance between work/sleep/games/movies/wife&children/hobbies. If you're not, though, you need to think really hard about how much down time and "balance" you actually need. If you've always wanted to be a blogger with a million followers or a successful Micro ISV writing phone apps, or to become an independent consultant, what value will you place on 'balance" when you look back and realize you are no closer to those goals than you were years ago?
The real problem in insisting that a few days of productivity entitles one to some marathon gaming sessions or re-watching all of Battle Star Galactica is the value of the particular hours when most of us are doing our side work or learning projects. I call these the Golden Hours.
Many of us, in our day jobs, are not afforded much focus. We may be committing code on multiple projects, reviewing our peer's code, and generally participating in various unfortunate unproductive activities. No so during the Golden Hours.
My home workstation setupis slightly better than what my employer gives me. There's a door I can close and I can play music through my excellent Klipsch PC speakers. The house is quiet, my family is asleep, there's some red wine on my desk, and the time of night where my mind is most awake and focus approaches. What to do with this time?
If you have the numbers available, take a look at your favorite PC games (or Xbox or PS3) and see how many hours you spent playing your favorite games. Suppose that number was 400 hours last year. (oh, if only it were a mere 400 hours last year) At your day job that 400 hours may represent a fiscal quarter worth of office hours and you may have built a major module or accomplished a similar cog-in-the-machine type of contribution. But now, you're at home. You're using only the tools you love, only the libraries and frameworks you love. No architect has told you what you can't do and how you can't do it, no scrum master has told you Boring Crud Screen must take priority over Interesting Problem from a later sprint. The Golden Hours where you are awake and in your most productive environment approach. Now what could you do in 400 hours?
This, for me, is the true tragedy of seeking balance with hobbies, entrepreneurial dreams, and the stuff that actually must get done. Many of us have ambitions and skills, but proceed to spend the most productive time we have available surfing hacker news, watching zombie movies, online gaming, engaging in meaningless debates on twitter, or re-connecting with people we hated in high school on Facebook.
You may in fact reach a point where your brain is Jell-O and you truly need some downtime in order to return to productivity. Most of us probably indulge ourselves way, way too early though. I suspect that, like training your body with a "couch to 5k" program, you can train your mind to expect a life of more and more productive work and less and less Archer or Game of Thrones.
It's easy for a programmer to do incredibly well in America today. If you want more, though, If you want to be really disgustingly successful, you must evaluate every activity through a simple heuristic: is this simply indulging my entitlement to wealth and leisure, or is this moving a possible revenue stream forward?

I have always considered stock options to be Monopoly Money. I came of age in the 80s and 90s and grew up watching the creation of Microsoft Millionairs and .Com millionairs but I never put much stock (pardon the pun) in this as a source of wealth. It's easy to look at successful companies like Microsoft whose stock split so many times and think of stock options as a path to wealth for the average worker bee.
I've spent my career up to this point in the midwest, and I saw some of my friends working heroic hours to make something happen for their company. Their motivation was going public and (at least) paying off their homes with stock sale proceeds. For a long time part of my fear of stock options was due to a bit of small-minded thinking: I couldn't envision any of these small Wisconsin companies making it big, and therefore viewed these stock options as essentially motivating a lot of free effort for the company by promising the moon to employees eager to cash out on a big deal.
My main issue, though, is that I find employees are generally woefully under-educated about exactly what kind of stock they are given and what they can do with their stock options. This Ars Technica article is just the latest in a long stream of examples. Stock Options, and Common Stock in general, often exist at the pleasure of the company. This is not to say that in-writing agreements are discarded at will when it's convienient, but rather that employees are not usually presented with the whole picture. You will happily sign something saying "We are granting you XXXX shares of Common Stock" without knowing there may be so much preferred stock that the likelihood of you getting any money out of a company sale is incredibly small. As Dell employees are now finding out, the bylaws of any company may also allow so many restrictions to be placed on stock options that only the narrowest sequences of events could even lead to an employee exercising & selling in a moderately profitable fashion.
As an aside: this also brings to light one of my personal biases. I'm extremely old-fashioned in that I greatly prefer stocks that regularly pay dividends out of profit. I find this a much more sound concept than the current practice of what essentially amounts to speculation on stock price. So many non-market forces (rumors, etc) can affect the market valuation of publicly-traded companies.
As the article about Dell points out, the higher you are on the food chain the more likely you are to do well with company stock. Call me cynical, but it's hard to look at this situation and call it anything but the top-decision makers fixing the game in their favor. Enron-style practices that allow executives to sell stock while employees are in a blackout period are common. Preferred stock agreements that gaurantee minimum share prices for executives even to the point of employees earning nothing from a sale are common. The rules are complex and often hidden in secret company charters or in SEC filings that only employees with extremely deep financial knowledge can decipher. While the premise of encouraging the best employee actions by giving them a piece of the pie is a sound one, it's sometimes hard to look at these stories as anything but a case of fraud.
Let's think about some industries in the age of the Internet:
NewspapersMusic.Movies.Real Estate.Publishing.Retail.
The way we're doing things now are profitable, proven, known, safe, comfortable.

SocialGuard protects kids on Facebook
ZoneAlarm SocialGuard is designed to make kids safer while encouraging communication, not impose draconian restrictions on your children's Facebook activity.
SocialGuard is part of a relatively new and burgeoning field of desktop apps that look to address growing parental concerns about how to keep children safe online in the Facebook age. It does a remarkable job of balancing cost with useful tools, although parents should be warned: SocialGuard is designed to make kids safer while encouraging communication, not impose draconian restrictions on your children's Facebook activity.
From the makers of the ZoneAlarm firewall, SocialGuard is a desktop client with deep hooks into Facebook. The company wants parents to use it as a starting place to encourage communication about online activities, which is entirely dependent on parental behavior, but the program does provide a robust selection of tools and methods for helping adults keep track of how their children use Facebook.
Once you install the program, you'll have to add your children's Facebook accounts. You don't necessarily have to have their passwords, though, since you can ask them to come over and type it in without you peering over their shoulder. After the password has been added, a message will appear on the child's wall letting them know that SocialGuard has been activated to monitor their account. As a security measure, this wall post is only visible to the account owner.
SocialGuard uses a proprietary algorithm to monitor both your kids' behavior and the behavior of others, including strangers, as those online behaviors relate to your kids' Facebook account. For example, when somebody sends your child a friend request, SocialGuard will evaluate how that person relates to your children's friends, looking at friends in common, age levels, and wall postings.
SociaGuard keeps watch over more than just friend requests. It includes a kind of word radar that warns the parent when cyber-bullying takes place on the child's wall or in instant message posts. Parents can choose to have the child as well as themselves notified by e-mail when a warning or abusing behavior occurs. This is an especially useful configuration, so that older teenagers can find out instantly if they are being cyberbullied, something that might not be a good idea for a younger Facebook user.
From the Settings menu, parents can configure what kinds of risky behavior raises red flags, including criminal intent, account hacking, profanity, violence, sex, and other categories that young adults are expected to seek guidance on. Trusting parents can also deactivate warnings for categories at will, evidence that SocialGuard is nothing if not configurable to the needs of its users. Similarly, although the program automatically scans a child's account every 5 minutes, parents have a scan-on-demand option.
The program unabashedly cribs Facebook's blue color scheme and general look, so that parents of all skill levels will feel comfortable using the app. A row of tabs on the left nav allows for quick access to a centralized security Home, Warnings, Friend Review, and Account Settings. On the top nav, each child's information is quickly accessible via a one-tab-per-child layout.
Performance hits were negligible, and the program installed extremely quickly. It is also priced competitively, at less than half that of its competition with extremely similar features. The trial is a bit restrictive at seven days, when 30 days is the norm. SocialGuard looks to be an excellent tool to help parents monitor and discuss proper online conduct with their children.

Find shows importance of checking change
By MintState
As evidenced by one lucky customer out of California, it really does pay to sift through your pocket change for hidden gems.
According to the story posted by a Reddit user, a convenience store transaction took an interesting turn back in late April when the customer came across an unusual coin mixed in among his change. After purchasing a pack of cigarettes at a convenience store in Los Angeles, the customer discovered a coin he didn't recognize and took to the internet for help in identifying the mysterious piece.
With help from fellow Reddit users, the lucky recipient learned that the clerk had doled out a 1900 Morgan Dollar as part of the exchange, leaving the customer on the plus side of that transaction (yes, even after figuring the price of a pack of smokes). Based on photos of the coin, it's safe to say it falls somewhere within very fine to extra fine condition, giving the coin an approximate value of roughly $35 (though, as noted by at least one responder, dealers may try to lowball an offer based on the recent decline in silver prices).
While most of us could never hope to get as lucky as this individual – who decided to pass the Morgan Dollar on to his 13-year-old son, who has been collecting coins since he was just 8 years old (which, in my opinion, is by far the best part of this story) there is indeed a chance of finding treasures among the general circulating coins.
For starters, take a closer look at any Presidential Dollars you run into that are floating around. In 2009, the lettering along the edge of the coin was change – the motto "In God We Trust" was removed and transferred to the coin's obverse – making any variations of the lettering on the edge rare and potentially worth upward of $3,000. Among other recent series, the Wisconsin extra-leaf errors made all the noise out of the State Quarters run, though variations of the Minnesota edition that contain superfluous trees have also attracted decent money on the market.
In addition, some other potential rarities to hunt for include the 1965 Silver Roosevelt Dime, as this was the year that the U.S. Mint intended to change the composition of the coin to a copper-nickel mix. Since a few of the dimes were minted on the silver planchets that were intended to be discontinued in 1964, those pieces have become a sought-after piece for collectors and can fetch prices reaching several hundred dollars or more.

5 Contrarian Blue-Chip Stocks That Could Pop in 2012
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Sometimes, the best buying opportunities come from finding the stocks that everyone else hates.
That's one of the key tenants of contrarian investing, a school of market thought that's predicated on the idea that the crowd is wrong at turning points. If years like 2008 have taught us anything, it's that even the biggest stocks can get mispriced over long periods of time -- and investors who spot those mispricings can profit.
That's why we're looking at a set of heavily shorted blue-chip stocks today. That's right, even blue-chips can become the target of short-sellers when faced with major economic headwinds, flawed financials or another catalyst that could send shares lower. Large-cap names also have more analyst eyes on them, and as a result, they tend to snap back more quickly than smaller names.
>>5 Chinese Stocks With Breakout Potential
To be clear, these stocks aren't necessarily undervalued right now. Instead, the mispricing opportunity comes from a short squeeze in shares. In case you're not familiar with the term, a short squeeze is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which estimates the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed. Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year. Without further ado, here's a look at our list of large-cap short-squeeze opportunities.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Abby: Mail Order Bride
by Verna Clay
(free for a limited time)
Brant Samson has fallen on hard times with the death of his beloved wife a year earlier from lung fever. Left with three children, he's desperate to find a mother for them. Ten year old Jenny does her best to care for two year old Ty, and fourteen year old Luke works the ranch with his father, losing himself in dime novels to ease the pain of his mother's death. Brant's options are limited since eligible women seldom pass through Two Rivers, much less settle in the small Texas town. In desperation, he places a classified advertisement for a mail order bride. Marrying a woman he'll come to know through a newspaper ad scares the bejesus out of him, but at this point, he's out of options.
Abigail Mary Vaughn always dreamed of having her own family, but caring for her elderly parents, as well as working as a teacher to help with finances, ended that dream. Her parents are now dead and she's faced with the reality of her dismal existence. After reading Mr. Samson's advertisement in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she garners enough courage to respond. Since she is considered an old maid at the age of thirty-eight, she'll more than likely spend the rest of her life in gut-wrenching loneliness unless she does something unconventional.

I think your suggestion that she travel to the US is the best one. Or at least tell him that she is applying for a loan to do so and that she beleives that she can get money from his estate to repay the loan. He may only have an unpaid car title but then again he may panic and start to be decent.
Thailand has the exact opposite - i.e. a bride system. I.e. the man pays for his bride.
Both systems are symptoms of economic backwardness.
In advanced capitalist systems - such as in the West, Japan, Singapore, S.Korea, Taiwan, etc. - the bride is more likely to marry you as an equal. She's already well educated, with money, etc.

money and gold on show at wedding
I am to be married to a Thai national this June. At the engagement party I will give the parents of my bride 100,000 baht and 76 grams of gold. I have just been told by my bride at the wedding I am to show more money and gold. I already have promised to give my bride a gold necklase and gold ring. She told me that the additional money is for show only and that she would make sure I got it back after the wedding. My question is, is this a Thai custom? What would be the appropiate amount to show. Do you think that my bride or her family would be affended if I did not show money at wedding? Why is not the money I give to parents enough? Thank you for your reeesponse.
RE: money and gold on show at wedding
RE: RE: money and gold on show at wedding
Thanks for getting back to me. I have not given the money to my brides parents yet. I am still in America but will be traveling to Thailand this June to marry my bride and bring her back to the US. We have settled on the amount to be given to her parents about 6 months ago. It makes me wonder if her parents now think they should have asked for more. I know her father has a lot of influence on my fiancee. It makes me wonder if he put her up to asking for addition money at the wedding which he can convert to his own use. Please give me you opinion on another thing. My fiancee has asked for 50,000 Baht to pay for the engagement party and wedding. We are going to have the wedding in her village. We will pay for food, rental of wedding costumes for myself and my bride and a professional photographer. We will go to the temple also to make merit. Does 50,000 baht sound like too much for this kind of event? Thank you

Personal Experience
In this thread, I have read both interesting and "out of place" comments. I would like to share my own experience/situation and maybe get feedback from you.
If I understand well, I am quite young compared to most contributors. I am a 26 y/o French man. When working as a consultant in Bangkok, I fell in love with an engineer lady who is the same age as I. She comes from a good family and has a good education, even though she's not the type of woman to wear a black skirt and a white shirt. We have been together for almost 2 years now and I helped her find a position in Europe, where she will stay for 2 more years. We are considering getting married, even though this would probably be in no less than 2 years. The issue of the dowry has come up and she 1st told me some amount like 1Million bahts. We discussed further so that I could understand that it's more than "buying cattle" and she told me that her family would give back the dowry. I took some time to think about it and had many things coming to mind: thinking of robbery... then considering that even from French standards of salary, it could take years to an engineer to save that much money. Also considering that (from what she explained me) in thailand, the family of the groom would help him get that much money... but my family won't (and can't) help. ...and I also need to count on myself for paying (50% of) the organisation of the wedding, which shall (additionally?) include many plane tickets. But I understood her point and resolved that if I have to do it, so I shall. Then, the next time we discussed that, she told me that it should be something like 2 or 3 million bahts!!! there are limits to my bank accounts and this is crazy, even if she claims that it will be given back.
So, I saw many posts encouraging or discouraging the dowry. I have already chosen that I will give a dowry. BUT!!!! consider this: I have spent 8 months in BKK working 70 hours per week (in average). Now I have been spending 15 months without vacation in some other European country. I am not poor but I am not rich. I don't own a house. I take part in the cleaning, laundry, cooking and I treat her as my equal. I have good manners and I am respectful of her beliefs/culture/family. Can one still just reply with a plain "if you love her, just pay the dowry"?
RE: Personal Experience
One of the purposes of giving dowry to the bride's parents is to boost the value of the bride. If she has high education, comes from good family, and is still single, the sinn-sodd will be high. There are no fixed rules of how much a groom will have to pay. However, this is normally negotiable. I would suggest you to find some (one or two) respected elders to do the negotiation. Discuss this with your girlfriend and find someone (even if you have to pay for their visits) who her parents will accept it without losing their face. Equally important, includes everything you have to offer their daughter after marriage such as home, rings, boats, etc.. This can substantially reduce your dowry. Let me know if this tactics are successful or not.

Actuality - stuff gets wet
Posted by: willi_h2o on Feb-01-14 1:18 AM (EST)
-- Last Updated: Feb-01-14 1:18 AM EST --Gear gets used, on trips, on vacation, etc., etc.
Folks that play outdoors all 12 months, all 4 seasons,
encounter storms, rain, puddles, capsizes, leaky hatches,
ice cold snow, condensation, bumps, drops, etc., etc.
Usually; when you really truly need a flashlight;
it's because something needs immediate attention;
to get you out of a jam or situation.
Redundant gear is a fact for success,
as are spare lightbulbs and batteries,
but its nice to know what holds up to strenuous usage.
I sincerely appreciate getting feedback from folks
that actually use their gear outside, in the elements,
versus the glitzy marketing hype on shiny packages.

Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism's 2014 Wellness Campaign
Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism (VCIH) is an educational non-profit dedicated to inspiring a revolution in self-care and plant-based wellness, locally and nationally. We're a small grassroots organization, founded in 2007 by a group of experienced herbalists and activists, working through collaborative leadership to change what healthcare looks like.
In 2013, VCIH doubled in physical size and student capacity (we're now at 60!) and our provision of clinical services has grown along with our expansion. As we've expanded and the interest in our work and demand for our services and programs has increased, so have our expenses. At the same time, we are not yet at full capacity in terms of tuition revenue, which supports the rest of our work substantially.
Since 2010, we've provided $204,000 worth of herbal products to our community, all at two thirds of retail cost, or below. In fact, we've given away $58,000 worth of herbs (an average of $15,000/year). Our apothecary provides both a direct source of herbs to our clients and a learning environment for our students. Herbs are available to clients on a sliding-scale and as gifts, when needed.
In the same period, our professional clinic has provided 1828 hours of service, while our student clinics have offered 1620 hours of service, totaling almost 3500 hours and costing us approximately $152,000 to provide. Many of our clients have taken advantage of our sliding-scale payment options to reduce their
costs, and $26,695 worth of consultation time was provided as a gift, free of charge.
Our current projected deficit for this year [2014] is $15,000. We expect to reach our enrollment goals in 2015, while also continuing to fine-tune our systems and budget in our new space, returning us to sustainability. We are confident that we will land on solid ground, but we need a little help while we grow.
Our campaign is up and running and ready to share! You can view it/share it using the following link: http://igg.me/at/VCIH.

How to Prevent Heart DiseaseA Public Lecture by
second and final lecture in the 2004 LPI public lecture series was given
on May 3, 2004, by Dr. Meir Stampfer, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition
and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public
Health. Dr. Stampfer's presentation, "Primary Prevention of
Heart Disease through Lifestyle and Diet," summarized and discussed
several of the important human studies on the prevention of heart disease.
Dr. Stampfer first compared the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet to the usual American diet and to the "Fruit and Vegetable" diet. The fruit and vegetable diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The DASH diet is similar but also contains fish and low-fat dairy foods and has lower amounts of fats, red meat, and sugar-containing sweets and beverages. The DASH diet was found to be even better at lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure than the fruit and vegetable diet and at least as effective or more effective than many drugs. Dr. Stampfer listed five major factors that define a low risk of heart disease:
Of course, alcohol can be a double-edged sword. While the Health Professionals Follow-up Study found a decreasing relative risk for coronary heart disease with increasing alcohol intake, other studies have reported an increased relative risk for breastcancer associated with alcohol intake in women and a higher death rate from all causes in women who consume more than about two drinks per day. However, there is also evidence that the increased risk of breast cancer in women may disappear if their folate status is adequate. A number of studies have found that trans fats depress HDL cholesterol levels in serum, which is the "good" cholesterol, and raise levels of LDL cholesterol (the "bad" form), total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Trans fats, consumed as 2% of daily energy, nearly double the risk of heart disease, whereas polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, consumed as 5% of daily energy, significantly reduce the risk. The risk associated with trans fats is even greater than that linked to saturated fats consumed as 5% of daily energy. The consumption of nuts, which are a good source of unsaturated fats, has been found in at least three high quality studies to be associated with a significantly reduced risk of heart disease. As few as one or two servings of fish each week halves the risk of sudden death from heart disease, probably by preventing fibrillation. A meta-analysis of nine prospective studies found that high fiber intake was consistently associated with a decreased risk of heart disease. Daily intake of more than about 350 micrograms of folate is also associated with a decreased risk for heart disease. Folate is a B vitamin that has been found to lower high homocysteine levels, which are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Dr. Stampfer also discussed the new classification of carbohydrates that emphasizes the biological effect of whole food instead of the traditional designation by chemical structure. He pointed out that different types of carbohydrates differ in their effects on plasma glucose and insulin response. "Glycemic index" refers the ranking of foods based on their effects on plasma glucose levels. The glycemic index of a particular food is determined by comparing its effect on blood glucose to the ingestion of an equivalent amount of glucose or a control carbohydrate. "Glycemic load" refers to this measurement as well as the amount of the food consumed. Dr. Stampfer showed that the risk of heart disease is strongly linked to increased glycemic load, especially in those subjects whose BMI is greater than 23 kg/m2. Last updated November 2004 |

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Suns overcome 26-point deficit to beat Cavs
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 107-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 9. Final Score: Suns 107, Cavaliers 105
The Good:
The Suns came back from a 26-point deficit to beat the Cavs at home Friday night 107-105. The win is the third largest comeback in team history and the largest at home.
The victory over Cleveland also gives the Suns consecutive wins for the first time this season and they improved to a .500 record of 3-3 for the first time this year.
The Bad:
The Suns scored just 16 points and committed eight turnovers in the first quarter to put them in the 26-point hole that required such an amazing comeback.
The Ugly:
The Suns only led for 2:22 of the entire 48 minutes but it was enough to get the win. They took their first lead of the game with 8:17 remaining in the fourth quarter at 87-85.
� The Suns got another big night from Shannon Brown off the bench. He recorded back-to-back 20-point games for the first time in his career and he's also scored 18 or more in three straight games for the first time in his career.
� Another solid performance came from Marcin Gortat on the defensive end. Gortat has three games of five or more blocks in the first six games for the Suns this season. The Suns have not had a player with three games of five or more blocks in an entire season since Amare Stoudemire in 2007-2008.
Up Next:
The Suns hit the road to play Utah on Saturday night for the second game of a back-to-back. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and you can listen to it on Arizona Sports 620.

text: Volvo Philippines proudly introduces the S60 D3 Turbodiesel - a powerhouse that drives you to push the limits without worrying about fuel costs. Low emissions, 400Nm of torque, and quick, sure power ensures immense driving pleasure while you enjoy fuel efficiency of up to 22Km per liter. The single turbocharged engine will infuse your drive with the composed feeling of being in control in all situations without compromising on the fun of driving. Aside from the standard City Safety feature, the S60 also features a pedestrian avoidance technology that uses a digital camera and radar to constantly scan the road ahead and warns you when it identifies shapes as people who are at risk in front of your car. More importantly, the system will employ full brake force to stop your vehicle – if you don't react in time. Volvo calls this Collision Warning with Full-Auto Break and Pedestrian Detection, but you can simply call it another Volvo world-first. Excellent road handling is also achieved with the enhanced Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) system. Along with the Advanced Stability Control (ASC) and Corner Traction Control (CTC), DTSC help prevent fishtails and spinouts. ASC monitors the car's behavior with high precision to further enhance stability in sharp curves and with rapid lateral movements. CTC by torque vectoring also helps the car pivot around bends with more grace by braking the inner wheel and redistributing engine torque to the outside wheel. It also improves acceleration when turning onto a road with faster traffic. Active Bending Lights with Dual Xenon technology also expand your vision range by 230% when driving in the dark and provides considerably improved illumination around bends at night.Driving the dynamic S60 makes your heart race with exhilaration and is further pumped up by interior systems that make you a focused – and therefore, better – driver. Volvo's new driver-control interface called Volvo Sensus, allow you to conveniently explore the hi-tech features of your car and personalize them to suit your needs. All information is displayed on a high-resolution 5" or 7" color screen, which can also display the phone, park assist camera, DVD, digital TV, among others. Everything is conveniently controlled using the ergonomic steering wheel controls -- so you can keep your attention on the traffic and your hands on the steering wheel. Above the crisp sound reproduction of the High Performance audio components, the S60's High Performance Multimedia System's audio level provides a full 7" integrated Multimedia color screen. This transforms your Volvo to a complete platform for the latest in in-car entertainment, communication and navigation technology. For example, you can watch DVD films or terrestrial TV broadcasts when the car is stationary. Bluetooth® and USB/iPod® connectivity further adds to the versatility of this system.Locally available in four different engine variants, the one you choose will define a major part of the experience ahead. Some engines favor high performance while other favor high mileage, but all of these petrol and diesel engines deliver instant power and smooth running while state-of-the-art technology makes the most of every micro-drop of fuel.WHICH S60 ENGINE IS GOING TO START YOU UP?S60 1.6L T4Engine 1.6 Liter 4 Cylinder Turbocharged petrol engineHorsepower 180 @ 5700rpmTorque 240 @ 1600-5000rpmTransmission 6-speed PowershiftTop Speed 225kms./hr.S60 2.0L PowershiftEngine 2.0 Liter, 4 Cylinder turbocharged petrol engineHorsepower 203 @ 5300rpmTorque 300 @ 2200-5300rpmTransmission 6-speed PowershiftTop Speed 230 kms./hr.S60 2.0L D3Engine 2.0 Liter, 5 Cylinder TurbodieselHorsepower 163 @ 3500rpmTorque 400 @ 1500-2750rpmTransmission 6-speed GeartronicTop Speed 215 kms./hr.S60 3.0L T6Engine 3.0 Liter, 6 Cylinder Twin-Scroll Turbocharged petrol engineHorsepower 304 @ 5600rpmTorque 440 @ 2100-4200 rpmTransmission 6-speed GeartronicTop Speed 250kms./hr.You deserve a car that has been crafted with you in mind.
