TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Diplomat Tbilisi
Hotel Diplomat had decent sized rooms, good breakfast offerings, and helpful staff. I had tried to find a hotel closer to Liberty Square. I thought from the description that Hotel Diplomat was not that far away, but I found when I walked that is was quite some distance and I briefly lost my way the first time I walked back up the hill to the hotel.
When I mentioned that I needed to find transport back to Yerevan, they readily offered to help arrange it and I was quite happy with the outcome.

rooms for guests.
This is quite a poor area, because of its altitude the

Anyquips on installing drawer/shelf liners quickly?
I just saw the recent little thread about shelf liners. My to-do list is so long right now that my head is spinning. Seriously, I don't even need a Halloween costume this year; I've already got the Exorcist thing going on. The big move is scheduled for Wednesday. I need to start packing tonight. I can't get into my new kitchen until Wednesday. I know that if I fill all my drawers and cabinets before installing liners, it will be years until I get to it. Sigh. At least I can admit and accept my reality. Lol.
So, I'm looking for any tips for super fast drawer/cabinet liner installation. I'm not crafty or handy so I don't usually think of the "obvious" things. Ideas?
I'in the same boat as you, Mom to a lesser degree as it's only my kitchen I need to put back in order. (But with a bad back.) I don't care for plastic products and try not to use so many, so I will use cork in the drawers where the plates may slip around. The cabinet maker told me it's not necessary to use anything as it's easy to wipe out the drawers and cabs, if need be--they're maple. We'll see how well that works!
If you must use shelf liners, I'd recommend using that ribbed plastic liner stuff. I've bought it at Costco and Ace Hardware, but I think it's pretty available. The width of the roll is the same as many upper shelves, which cuts down on the measuring.
I can't remember right off if you're moving into new cabinetry or new-to-you. If it's truly new, then you don't really really need to line the shelves. Honest. I only did the ones where I have sure-to-be-sticky stuff like a bottle of oil or molasses.
I have all my potentially sticky/gooey items on small turntables on the shelf, the cheap plastic kind. Makes it easier to access the bottles, plus keeps the goo off the cabinet shelf. Other than that, I don't have any shelves lined.
I've tried two kinds, the clear kind you can get in an enormous roll at Joann's fabric and the much-vaunted Cushy Cupboards from online. Cushy Cupboards are a lot easier to cut, I can say that. I got those for the drawers that would have pots and pans and plates and stuff like that so they wouldn't clank. I think, though, the soft-close feature and not stacking anything too high eliminates that rattle anyway.
Try as I might, I could NOT get the clear plastic to look any good at the edges, where you can really see them. I also found that I like to slide things back into cupboards rather than placing them carefully there, probably because I'm short. With the liners, one can't do that.
I bet something like marmoleum works great though! Might try that under the sink.
I finished my kitchen one year ago this week. I knew that I wanted lined drawers and went to a restaurant supply. The material that I got was more of a mesh, but the roll was huge and did my whole kitchen. I used the large quilt mat and a rotary cutter. It was a breeze

sound proof flooring for condo
I am looking for the best solution to assuring sound proofing for "hard flooring" installation in a condo. I know that the floor won't be entirely soundproof...neither is carpet, but I need the most sound resistance possible. We also have dogs so we want to avoid carpet again...ours is a disaster in spite of cleaning! Any suggestions about what kind of flooring or underlayment? This will go in the LR, hall, DR, possibly the kitchen. Thanks for your input!
Ceramic tiles. There is no other flooring type that has the design flexibility of ceramic tile or natural stone. There are multiple shapes, sizes, installation patterns and color ways that give ceramic tile and natural stone endless design choices. This is just one of the many benefits of ceramic tile and natural stone. Ceramic tile and stone are practically impervious to claw scratches and potential damage from, ahem, accidents. The glazed tiles clean easily, so they're easy to keep looking good year in and year out.
The question was on soundproofing not pets and flooring. There are cork and rubber underlays that you can use a floating floor over. A good flooring store should be able to advise. Does your condo assoc have a recommendation?
Thanks for your input! I'm checking out whether something like cork or a soundproofing barrier can be used with Nafco floors by Tarkett. This is vinyl plank that really looks and feels like wood. The protective surface is something called Tritonite (at least it's not Kryptonite!). It's really beautiful and pretty much dog proof too!
Has anyone used Foresta flooring?
If the sound more than just background, you need to build in a false floor. Basicaly sound travels better through hard vibratory surfaces (wood, tile etc). The more you can disconnect the floor from the ceiling below, the better. This might not be acceptable to your condo association, but it is the way sound works.
As for underlayments, anything is better than nothing but you need to ensure you get as much area as possible covered. Any gaps and the sound will come through.
Also, the more the floor "floats" on a damping membrane the better. There are plenty of sites dedicated to studio construction techniques. Highly recommended to check them out.
Scot is correct
Soundproofing is difficult esp in your situation. That said there are products that certainly can do a very good job -
If you are re-flooring or have new construction I would rec looking into Mass loaded vinyl 1/8" heavy -goes on like rolled flooring under your finish floor.
Below is a website that I used when I was looking into soundproofing during our renovation 3 yrs ago. We have a 1930 home that is plaster & lost quite a bit of plaster, which has an excellent sound proofing quality.
The folks here are helpful & knowledgeable -
I took my time to understand the science of soundproofing as much as I could before purchasing anything. I also have a bro in law that is a master carpenter and built many of the Sony studios in Manhattan - He used multiple layers of sheetrock (differing widths, and staggering joints)
Good luck - quietness is something I'm willing to go an extra mile for !

EFF Proposes a Working Code Requirement For Software Patents 130
from the system-and-method-for-manipulating-0s-and-1s dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
What the EFF is specifically decrying is functional claiming. That is, an element of a claim described not in terms of what it is but in terms of its function. For example, instead of claiming a nail or a screw, claiming "a means for mechanically fastening" or, even more broadly, "a fastening means." This is allowed under 35 U.S.C. 112 6, now 112(f):
An element in a claim for a combination may be expressed as a means or step for performing a specified function without the recital of structure, material, or acts in support thereof, and such claim shall be construed to cover the corresponding structure, material, or acts described in the specification and equivalents thereof.
In other words, you can use functional claiming, but you have to explain what you mean in the specification, and you only get what you describe there, plus equivalents. If you don't describe what you mean then the claim is invalid as indefinite.
In the case of software, generically claiming an algorithm (e.g. "sorting means") requires describing in the specification what you mean by that. There has to be some corresponding structure. Failure to properly support a functional claim has bitten many a patentee. This happened just recently in a software patent case involving Google as a defendant, for example. Function Media, L.L.C. v. Google Inc. [patentlyo.com]. Overall, the popularity of functional claiming has been dropping like a rock. From ~1992 to 2011 the percentage of newly issued patents with at least one "means for" claim fell from ~45% to ~10% [patentlyo.com]. It has since fallen to almost 5%.
Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

Originally published on Sun November 18, 2012 9:11 am
Some of the latest news on the conflict in Syria:
-- Israel Fires Back. "Israeli troops fired tank shells into Syria on Monday in retaliation for a mortar round that struck near an army post in the Golan Heights, scoring 'direct hits' on the source of the fire, the [Israeli] army said." (Al-Jazeera)
"Israeli military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under army guidelines, said an armored vehicle carrying 'Syrian mobile artillery' was hit. There was no immediate word on casualties on the Syrian side, but Israeli officials said the vehicle was believed to belong to the Syrian government." (The Associated Press)
Israel had fired a warning shot into Syria on Sunday, after another such mortar round came across the border.

Theory Home | Counterpoint | Sightsinging
by Dr. Peter Gries
Solfege (or Solmization) is a way of singing scale tones with syllables. The most
familiar example of solfege is the song from "The Sound of Music:"
Doe (Do), a deer, a female deer; Ray (Re), a drop of golden sun
and the rest of those drivelly rhymes.
The system has been use as a pedagogical aid to singing since it was developed by Guido D'Arrezzo in the eleventh century. The syllables emanated from the Hymn to St. John, and Guido's system involved overlapping hexachords (a six-note scale pattern) in which the "natural," "soft" and "hard" hexachords were dovetailed to accommodate an extended range. The "Guidoian hand" was a pedagogical device in which each joint of the fingers represented one of the syllables in one of the hexachords. He used it to train his choir boys. Once the "hand" was learned, a specific note could be called for by pointing to one of the joints of the hand. Here's the changed to do and the si to ti, although si is still common in Europe).
The Hymn to St. John, from which the sight-singing syllables were derived, is a most exciting example of subtle musical organization.
- The first note of each of the first six phrases is successively higher (C D E F G A).
- The seventh phrase (Sancte Joannes) responds to gravity and provides a completely satisfying cadence.
- The melody is curvilinear (i.e., exhibits gradually ascending and descending motion); the real high point (Labii) is reached at a very specific proportional and mathematical juncture.
- Three-note cells of varying shape permeate the total time-span.
- The numbers 3 and 7, symbolical and mystical, are to be found at every dimension; for example, there are a total of 49 notes ÂÂ- or seven times seven.
- Unity and variety are perfect balance.
* The seventh syllable, si, was formed from the initials of Sancte Joannes, c. 1650. "That Thy servants may freely sing forth the wonders of Thy deeds, remove all stain of guilt from their unclean lips, O Saint John."
There are two main systems of solfege:
- The fixed system, where do is always the note C
- the moveable system, where do is the tonic of prevalent key.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each system. In this class we will use
#2, the moveable system, and regard do as the tonic note of whatever key we're in.
There are two variations within the moveable system.
- Do is always the tonic note, whether you are in A Major or A minor key.
- Do is the tonic for major keys, but la is used as the tonic for minor keys. Again, there are advantages and disadvantages to each system.
In this class we will use #1, and consider do as the tonic note for every key, major or minor.
The solfege system has been extended to include inflections for chromatic scale steps, so that one can sing different syllables for chromatically inflected notes, so that one differentiate between major and minor scales. The system works like this:
- For a note that is lowered a half-step from the major norm, sing it with an a sound (like in the word "nay") but spell it with an e. Thus mi, the major third, becomes me (may), la becomes le, ti becomes te, etc. This works for all scale steps except the supertonic. Re is already an e sound, so re lowered a half-step become ra (rah!).
- For a note that is raised a half-step from the normal major, sing it with an ee sound, but spell it with an i. Thus, fa becomes fi. This works for all steps except mi and ti, but they are almost never raised anyway.
As educated musicians you should be aware of the solfege system, and have a working knowledge of how to use it. Because of the different syllables that become associated with specific scale steps, some musicians find it very useful as an aid in learning how to sing in tune. Somehow, the solfege system helps those who have trouble keeping tonally oriented to keep the tonic (do) "frame" in the ear while singing scales or melodies.
Here are the syllables for all the scales: The chromatic scale:
ascending: do di re ri mi fa fi sol si la li ti do
descending: do ti te la le sol se fa mi me re ra do
For the following scales, the syllables have been spaced to indicate the whole and
half steps.
The natural minor scale: do re me fa sol le te do
The harmonic minor scale: do re me fa sol le ti do
The melodic minor scale: do re me fa sol la ti do- te le sol fa me re do
ascending descending
The "Church" Modes:
Lydian: do re mi fi sol la ti do
Ionian: do re mi fa sol la ti do (Same as major scale)
Mixolydian: do re mi fa sol la te do
Dorian: do re me fa sol la te do
Aeolian: do re me fa sol le te do (Same as natural minor scale)
Phrygian: do ra me fa sol le te do

1.bare, desolate, and often windswept: a bleak plain.
2.cold and piercing; raw: a bleak wind.
3.without hope or encouragement; depressing; dreary: a bleak future.
The contradiction, and humorous part about Bleak is to accomplish quite the opposite. Like the light/spark that's trying to push through and make it in something that might seem hopeless or unlikely.

It was a fun-filled class photo like no other as the mood was light at the Beverly Hilton during the annual luncheon and class photo for the nominees at this year's Oscar's.
Held Monday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom, this year's launch of the nominees for the prestigious Academy Awards scheduled on February 24.
USA Today noted the light mood following an interview with Amy Adams. She has openly admitted having star struck and fascinated by fellow Oscar's nominees Bradley Cooper and Christoph Waltz.
"Sorry, you just interrupted my flirting with Bradley Cooper and Christoph Waltz," Adams was quoted as saying by the USA Today. "I'd say it's going to be a very good lunch for me."
Adams who appeared in various romantic-comedy film has been nominated for her role in "The Master."
Aside from Adams, "Silver Lining Playbook" actor Bradley Cooper, who was also in attendance at the annual lunch expressed having a good time.
"I know I wasn't here for The Hangover," Cooper said, adding "I'm enjoying every minute of this."
Actors and actresses nominated at the elusive awards in various categories have been described by the USA Today as seen scattered randomly, talking about a lot of things, not excluding "Super Bowl 2013."
Anne Hathaway, nominated for her role as Fantine in "Les Miserables" has admitted not thinking of any dress to wear when asked, saying she's still overwhelmed with Sunday's Super Bowl, featuring Beyonce at half-time show.
"No preparation yet. I need to get on that, don't I? It was the Super Bowl. I couldn't think about dresses with all that delicious fried food," Hathaway said.
Seen at the ballroom are nominees such as Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Joaquin Phoenix and Denzel Washington attended, along with a full cast of supporting-actor nominees — Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones, Waltz, Adams, Sally Field, Anne Hathaway, Helen Hunt and Jacki Weaver.

I think your itinerary sounds fantastic (I don't know about permits, sorry). If you're staying in Volcano that first night you should consider heading down to the lava flow, even though I know you plan to do it the following night as well. You don't have to hike all the way out-you can walk to the end of the road (1/2 mile), then veer right about 100 yards to where they usually have rangers stationed with a telescope (you'll see the group). It's different every night, and it's sort of addictive. I only meant to go one night and ended up going 3 because it is just so captivating.

The Volcano Art Center website has a great link for B&Bs in the area, look under Volcano Runs then Travel Information. We stayed at Country Goose last summer and loved it. You won't need permits on any of the hikes you mention except for the one to the eruption point, that one I'm not sure of, it may go outside the park boundaries. You just pay the $20 park entrance fee at the gate.
There is nothing to do there at night! If it's clear and no moon, there will be zillions of stars.
On the hike to the lava flow, pay attention to the recommendations about long pants and gloves, if you walk over the recently cooled lava, it is SHARP.

Hawaii volcano's NP has a very good website and you can get all kinds of trail maps. To my knowledge, no permits are needed. You can hike to the summit of Mauna Loa which, if memory serves, is around 13,000 feet.
Take very good hiking shoes and poles, much of the terrain is very difficult.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Mauna Loa is a 4-day hike, isn't it?
I will be staying at Volcano House - turns out there WAS vacancy!
My updated itinerary:
Tuesday: Drive from Hilo Airport to HVNP. Drive down Chain of Craters to view lava flow.
Wednesday: Morning - view Thurston Lava Tube, hike Kileau Iki (4 miles) and Halema'uma'u Trail one way (3.5 miles) [these are short hikes, 2-3 hours each], Evening - Drive down Chain of Craters (20 miles), hike to lava flow (again).
Thursday: All day - hike Napau Trail to eruption point(14 miles)[Has anyone done this? I've seen some photos where people are literally playing with flowing lava.]
Friday: OPEN as of now, what should I do? Black sand beach? Green sand beach? Akaka falls? Kayak with dolphins?
Afternoon - Leave BI for Oahu for 4 nights

Ordering trees and shrubs from MDC
The MO Dept. of Conservation has order forms now for bare root trees and shrubs.
This year they have added Serviceberry (amelanchier arborea) and Nannyberry (viburnum lentago). I ordered a bundle of each of those but I noticed they are also included in the Conservation and Wildlife bundles where you get an assortment. Wish I could custom make my own little assorted bundle. : ) There are some others that I'd like to have but don't want to order more than I could get planted.
I will get a total of 50 seedlings for around $20 which includes the cost for postage and handling. It's such a good deal, I wanted share the link in case someone didn't know about it. They have around 80 different varieties that can be ordered for early spring. It's offered to Missouri residents only and they cannot be resold.
Here is a link that might be useful: MDC seedling order form
I'm sure there are several on that list that have good fall color. I'm hoping that the Amelanchiers and nannyberries will both have good fall color. I already have two nannyberries and they turned a dark red this fall, maybe a little too dark to stand out a lot but they were still kinda pretty. If you decide to order fragrant sumac for fall color, I wouldn't mind having a couple of those. : )
I plan to add to my order and get some for the garden group at my kids elementary school. Does anyone have suggestions for that. I don't know whether it would be better to order something that most people are familiar with like flowering dogwoods or maybe maybe something more unusual.
Is anyone growing amelanchier arborea? Wonder if that's one that Japanese beetles like to munch on. I have a small amelanchier canadensis tree and it gets defoliated badly by something in the summer. I also have another shrub type amelanchier and haven't noticed the leaves getting eaten on them at all.
Thank you, Thank you for posting this, Christie. I just ordered some service trees that I've wanted for a long time. I'll have more than I need when I get my order in March so I'll post here and see if any of you Missouri folks want a couple.

Lawn dying in spots
Put in a new lawn last fall. Looked great all spring. Now dying in some spots. A few facts.
Lawn is 'Enviroturf' from Turfmaster Sod farms in nearby Ft. Collins.
3" top soil put down
Sprinkler system. Watered 1.5" per week. Dead areas not in particularly dry or wet parts (i.e. where heads don't overlap as well as they maybe should or where they really do overlap extra well).
Description : Patches that started to go from a good green to a 'dark green' but dry. Then turned brown and essentially disappeared. (rub it with foot and brown grass disintergrates down to dirt. Patches are in a long line on one side. a few patches here and there.
Does not pull up easily (as I've read grub damage should). No noticable mold or other discoloration at soil or on grass. Soil at roots looks 'reasonably' but I just dug in with finger.
I do keep the grass long (as long as my mower can cut it).
There are some kind of bug flying up when I walk around. But they are everywhere. I imagine that is is just because the grass makes a nice home. I don't think they are doing the damage, but maybe?
Also it is a new built. Lot might have been treated with weed killer, but then pushed around. Plus 3" of topsoil. But maybe the grass just now found the weedkiller in the ground?
Thanks for any help!
We are having the same problem as you. At the beginning of Spring our yard was so beautiful and green and stayed that way until about two weeks ago we started noticing the patches. We do have lawn service and when the home was built about a year ago we had the sprinkler installed so it is watered about an inch a week. We had the lawn company come out and do an assessment and was told we had Chinch Bugs. They spray the yard with a fertilzer mixed with insecticide.
We cut our grass 4 inches high. I am in Virginia.
We are hoping the treatment will work.
Has anyone ever heard of Chinch Bugs?
I'm in castle rock at 6500' and have the exact same problem. My yard looked like a golf course and now its as your describe. I ran my thatcherator over it and gathered 12 bags of dead grass and still didn't nearly get it all.
I amended my yard with over 60 yards of aged manure and rototilled it to 5-6" ...
I've been wonder if it could be insects, just the dry, windy conditions with no rain or perhaps a soil ph imbalance.
Wow, sounds like I'm not alone.
I talked with the company I bought my sod from. I'm going to email pics, but he feels very strongly that it is water related. I am starting to believe that since I dug around and couldn't find any critters to signs of critters as described on the CSU lawn site. I also noticed that I hadn't extented the time on the 2nd of the two zones I use for watering that section (an oversight). So I was water about 1" per week, rather than the 1.5" I though I was and that area is effected the most by this. Also, it appears the issue is under the areas where I dug the trench for the sprinkler piping, so maybe it is draining too much there.
So, I'm going to increase watering and see if it helps.
Someone mentioned a special fertizer for drought stressed lawns. Any idea what that would be?
Found this when I googled Cinch Bugs:
To reduce the insect populations on your turf at or above the soil surface you can use an old vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the insects.
The link to the page is below, which covers other insect problems in grass.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bruce Zimmerman
I've heard some people swear that 'revive' works great on colorado lawns, since it loosens up the clay soil.
I'm about convinced its some kind of insect, so I'm probably going to apply something to my backyard and see if that helps. I'm getting desparate, as my lawn is almost more dead than alive at this point and looked like a golf course the last 2 years and even a couple months ago!
Something is killing my lawn off and its not a shortage of water ... I'm dumping over 22,000 gallons a month on it ... and it still looks dead.
I've added revive to the backyard to see if that helps.
I've also manually plug aerated some of the worst areas to see if that helps.
Looking at some of the dead areas, its not just brown grass, its really dead looking, down to the roots. I've pulled up sections to look for insect damage ... and I don't see any bugs anywhere.
I did apply a pretty strong "super green" fertilizer this spring that had a pretty high nitrogren number on the label.
Could it be that this fertilizer did this somehow, even though it was apply early in the spring, during the fairly cool period.
Did you all consider that it could be the "top soil" or soil amendment you used. If it has to much organic matter (manure), fungus breaks that organic matter down.
You can get Necrotic Ring spot and fairy Ring.
Are there mushrooms growing (when wet) in circles?
Sounds just like my yard. 2" compost tilled in 6" deep soded last fall with sprinkler system looked great. Best looking yard on the block this spring. Fertilized cool spring day with high nitrogen fertilizer two weeks later grass started to turn brown and dying, also small flies like nats always buzzing around. Sterling CO. still dying and not a lack of water.
I live in Widefield/Colorado Springs and my gorgeous big lawn is having the same problems. The first year we moved in, the prev. owners had the sprinklers set to almost an hour per zone (6 zones), twice a day, 7 days a week. We cut it down to 30 mins per zone, 4 days a week am and pm. The majority of the grass was fine, but 4 ugly brown patches appeared, the largest being about 10'x4'. We thatched and reseeded some areas, with some success the following year. This year the problem is MUCH worse with about 12 big patches, a good 30% of the lawn affected. We've thatched, top dressed and aerated, and nothing is working. The grass just turns brittle and breaks when I walk on it. When I dig through it with my fingers, I see a thick thatch of grass roots, which I have to cut through and pull up to see soil. There are no bugs at all that I can see when I dig down. I'm going to use an insecticide just in case, but it is depressing looking at my huge, formerly lovely green, lawn!! HELP!!!
I am having the same problem. Laid sod last year and had the nicest yard on the block . I fertilized it early spring and it seemed to help it at first and now my yard is dying and looks like its never watered which is not the case I water the hell out of it. Dug up a couple of the dead places to look for grubs and none found. I am stumped at what to do and a little discouraged after all the money and effort spent to make it nice.
So has anyone figured out a solution? I'm having the exact same problem - new sod last year, looked beautiful and seemed healthy - this year, about a month ago, I started seeing dry rings which I figured was fungus. Applied an anti-fungal - then fertilizer again (that was a mistake I now realize) and then anti-fungal again. It keeps spreading and spreading. Water is not the problem. I don't see any signs of bugs in the grass. I am desparate and hoping for a solution before the entire yard is lost!

Turning 60 shouldn't incur weeping and mourning for your sex life. Just take a look at the lusty old ladies of 60 Plus MILFs and you'll be convinced that your sixties needn't be completely sexless. In fact, if these vivacious elderly dames are any indication, it could be a decade that brings new and exciting things into your universe. 60 Plus MILFs isn't a particularly great site, but it does bode well for its aging audience: turns out there is a sex life after 59.
Indian-American pornstar Priya Anjali Rai (born in New Delhi, raised in Minneapolis) made a huge splash when she debuted in Shane's World's Surfer Girls 2 back in 2006. In the nearly five years that has passed since, Priya's huge tits, taut ass, and exotic looks have won over a legion of new fans and set her up for the launch of this, her official website. Can she deliver on the potential she showed so early on or is Priya's success more than a tad undeserved? Find out here, as Mr. Pink's peeks inside Priya Anjali Rai.
Peter North has made thousands, maybe millions of guys insanely jealous of his incredibly substantial ejaculatory emissions for many years, but now a new challenger has arrived in the form of Cum Disgrace, a Porn Pros site that takes the hottest pornstars in the US of A, ties them up in BDSM apparatus, as proceeds to fill every available hole with an unimaginably huge amount of semen. With some huge cocks doing the fucking and a determined focus on jizz that few sites will cop to, Cum Disgrace could very well be the ultimate ejaculation site; well, if only the cocks and their emissions were real.
Lamenting a recent breakup, you turn, cell phone in hand, to your reliable pal and say "Bro, She Fucked Up!" You've got nudes, dude, and you shouldn't be afraid to use 'em. She Fucked Up is an adult site with a difference; instead of focusing on professional women it turns its attention to amateur babes snapped in crude self-shot and boyfriend-shot pics that prove there's a pornstar lurking inside plenty of otherwise bland girls. You've just gotta know where to find 'em.
With the bitterness of your last heated conversation still lingering on your breath, you recall your now-ex-girlfriend and ruminate on your payback possibilities. Needing, as usual, a calming "fap" you set your sights on Exploited Ex GF, a site filled with supposedly stolen photos of supposedly amateur women submitted by (supposedly) their ex-boyfriends. "What a humiliating, yet titillating way to honor a past relationship," you think. "I just beat off to some guy's slutbag cumdumpster of an ex and as soon as my upload is done, someone else will be beating off to mine." Revenge, dear reader, is yours.
The guys posing for Colt Studio Group might not walk on four legs or have any chance of winning the Kentucky Derby or Melbourne Cup (too tall to be jockeys, these fellas), but they're certainly in possession of fully-operation genitalia. Wanna see these thick cocks and the beefy guys that wield them as only one of the most influential and acclaimed gay porn studios can show them? Colt Studio Group endeavors to satisfy all comers with a busy collection of hardcore sex, softcore posing, and sexy homoerotic imagery of the highest quality. Sure, it's from years ago and is presented in some quite strange ways, but what are you gonna do, look a gift colt in the mouth?
Tired of trawling the deepest, darkest corners of the net in the hopes of finding some fresh-faced self-shot pics of amateur hotties? Self Shot 18 to the rescue! With hundreds of movies and galleries featuring what is possibly the best young amateur adult talent on the planet, Self Shot 18 takes a self-obsessed Internet trend and turns it into great porn, albeit on a site with a number of problems.
If real TV just doesn't show enough skin for you, why not hop online and give Pink TV a shot? Standard memberships being completely free (if somewhat limited), you'll be able to sample the flavor of this online video-on-demand, streaming broadcast, and webcam chat site without handing over the big bucks. Just be careful, as this could get very expensive very quickly.

Tangen gets auditor's job
The resignation of Becker County Auditor Keith Brekken came earlier than expected.
Brekken will retire effective today. The longtime auditor announced earlier that he would not seek reelection because he planned to retire this year.
The County Board accepted Brekken's resignation last Tuesday and thanked him for his service to the county.
"Everything just sort of fell into place," for a May 31 retirement, he told commissioners.

As options' popularity has grown among retail traders over the last decade, the exchanges have responded with more products. Weekly options, introduced in 2005, have gained to the point that the top options-centric online brokers report that they comprise almost half of their options volume this year. Most expect weekly options to pass regular monthly options in volume this year.
On March 18, the exchanges will introduce mini-options on three high-priced active stocks and two exchange-traded funds: Apple AAPL 2.5314401622718052% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD126.37 3.12 2.5314401622718052% /Date(1427749200851-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 46530466 AFTER HOURS USD126.45 0.0799999999999983 0.06330616443776213% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 569204 P/E Ratio 16.917001338688085 Market Cap 717900196777.344 Dividend Yield 1.48769486428741% Rev. per Employee 2153110 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL), Google GOOG 0.6729401466243572% Google Inc.

All of these equities are priced well over $100 per share, which makes it tough for most retail investors to buy them in 100-share blocks. The new mini-options will make them more affordable—representing just 10 shares of stock.
Under the traditional 100-share terms, near-the-money April calls for Apple, for example, are in the $15-$20 range for a contract, so a single call option could set you back about $2,000. If you were to write a covered call—buying 100 shares of Apple and selling the April 440 strike—you'd be looking at a price tag of over $42,000. Investors could wait for a stock split or two to make these pricey stocks easier to buy, but they'd have to wait a long time. So to keep the little guy involved, mini-options are coming.
The options-centric brokers are thrilled about mini-options. The initial launch of mini-options will be monthly expirations though most expect weekly versions to follow if volumes indicate enough interest.
"I think there is going to be demand from customers who have a hard time expressing their views in these higher dollar stocks currently. Obviously, there needs to be support from the professional trading community to make them really attractive," says George Ruhana, CEO of OptionsHouse.
One issue is that the exchanges have not yet announced their fees. Though Ruhana expects the minis to be successful, he adds, "If they [the exchanges] make it prohibitively expensive for market makers to do business in the minis, there is a chance that the markets [price spreads] could be wider than those on the regular contracts. If that is the case, then the product will struggle." Ruhana believes that professional market makers, such as his firm's parent company, Peak6, should keep the spreads (the difference between the bid and ask price) fairly tight on the minis in order to make them attractive to retail traders.
Since the exchanges haven't yet published their fee schedules, brokers haven't announced their commissions either. I would be pleasantly surprised to see fees lowered for the mini-options, though I suspect that the commissions will be similar to, or the same as, on regular options. You can still use your broker's analytical tools to figure out which strategy to trade, and trading odd lots of under 100 shares of stock usually generates the same commission as a regular 100-share lot.
Rooster Time
Another change planned for March 18 is the 4 a.m. Eastern time opening of pre-market trading on the Nasdaq. NYSE's ARCA exchange has allowed 4 a.m. pre-market trades since 2005, but having the Nasdaq step in should, in theory, bring in more volume.
Stephen Ehrlich, CEO of Lightspeed Trading, says, "The 4 a.m. Nasdaq pre-market open won't make a huge impact right away, but I believe that it will be bigger as time goes on. The early open gathers more order flow and is primarily a benefit for traders who take an overnight position, and allows them to exit earlier in the day at a more favorable price." Ehrlich notes that the equity space between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. has become extremely crowded, and big news is usually announced after the markets close at 4 p.m. "People willing to wake up early have found that this is the new frontier," says Ehrlich. Or on the west coast, stay up late.

Volkmann joins 1,000 point club
Courtney Volkmann passed the 1,000-point mark Tuesday night as the streaking Wadena-Deer Creek Wolverines edged Staples-Motley 60-55 Tuesday night for their fourth straight cage win.
The junior guard went into the game with 991 career points and tacked up a season-high 25 to bring it to 1,016. Volkmann took a feed from her sister, Caitlin, and drained one her five three-pointers to reach the milestone in the first half.
