An nanba is a nature freak and likes being outdoors totally naked.

DEFINITION of 'Equity-Linked Security - ELKS'
A hybrid debt instrument that is linked to the equity markets. Equity-linked securities can be in the form of a single stock, a group of stocks or an equity-based index, such as the S&P 500.
The return on investment is dependent upon the performance of the underlying equities that are linked to the security. This type of security will often offer a guarantee of principal plus perhaps a small gain in return for a reduced payout of equity gains.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Equity-Linked Security - ELKS'
Equity-linked securities first appeared in the 1990s and have been offered in the form of annuities, mutual funds and CDs. Most equity-linked securities will limit the equity gains that their investors can realize, either in the form of a reduced percentage of gains (such as 70% of all gains with no limit), or an absolute cap (meaning that the investor gets 100% of the gain up to a certain amount each year in total return, such as 10%).
For example, an investor with a 70% cap will see $7,000 of gain from a $100,000 investment if the underlying equities post a 10% gain for the year. However, the same investor with the same investment amount in a security with a 10% cap will only see the first $10,000 of gain in a year even if the underlying equities rise by 50%.

If you've been seeing cam girls for a while, you probably think you've got them all figured out for the most part. You can tell whether they're having a good time, whether they like their job, whether they're really into the role play you're doing, and whatever else they choose to tell you. But what else can you figure out about a cam girl without doing some weird hacker-style research or looking through hundreds of reviews of adult cam sites? You don't want to hack into her life, you just want to figure out a few things about her without having to ask.
Fortunately, there are lots of things that you can tell about a cam girl just from her surroundings, and what you can see on her camera. You might not think to look too far into most of these, but you'd be surprised by how much they can tell you. We're not recommending that you go looking for a lot of information to do something about it, but it can be nice to have a fuller, more accurate picture of a cam girl just from the things that she says, does, and has lying around when you're getting right to the juicy heart of everything. Here's what you can tell about a cam girl from her surroundings.
Her Bedding
This one only applies to cam girls who do their camming in bed, which is the majority of them. If you read a review of adult cam sites, it'll most likely mention that the cam girl was in bed, since that's where the majority of them do their best work. You might think that a bed is a bed is a bed, but there are some serious differences that you need to remember when you check her out.
Cheap Twin Bed:
Congratulations, you bagged a co-ed. No one buys a cheap twin bed for themselves; you buy one for a kid, and you see them in college dorm rooms, and you give them away to broke college students crashing for the month. If you see a girl with this style of bed, she's definitely in college, so congrats on that.
Large Bed, clean sheet:
Even if she seems young, this is probably the case. Most young people don't spend a huge amount of money on bedding and sheets, which is why you can easily tell if she's married. Hope you're into the bored housewife thing, because that's what you're going to get out of this encounter.
Large Bed, Dark or Satin Sheets:
Congratulations, you bagged a pro! These girls are used to someone seeing them in bed, and often. They know that they're putting on a show, and they don't mind the idea one bit. This girl is very good at what she does, and invests her money back into her startup business (camming) because she knows it's important to present herself as well as she possibly can. This girl will be able to give you the ride of your life, but you may feel like it's a well-rehearsed ride. Expect her to ask you to give her a good review on her adult cam site.
Her Lighting
Lighting is one of those things that most men don't think about when they look at women on cam sites. After all, it's just lights, right? You have the light on in the house, or you have the light off. It isn't like cam girls have professional lighting equipment and setups, right?
Shockingly, you're wrong about this. A lot of cam sites, like LivePrivates.com, deliberately walk their cam girls through the process of setting up a lighting rig system, just so that they'll be able to look good in the right lighting. If you see a girl who looks bad, consider that she might be new, and it might be because of her shitty lights. Good lighting is subtle, but you'll learn to recognize it. When you don't have it, you'll start to miss it. This is one of the best ways to immediately tell a professional from a flirt doing this in her spare time. You can take some pointers from an adult cam site guide. Check LivePrivates Review: See How It Ranks Against the Live Cam Greats. Find naked cam women who are professionals and know what they are doing.
Her Camera
Any cam girl who's been doing it for more than a couple weeks knows that it's absolutely essential to have a fantastic webcam. If she has a bad one, there are only a few options. The first is that she's very new to the webcam scene, and just doesn't know yet how important it is. The second is that she's been around for a while, but doesn't have the money for a good camera –in which case she's either bad at her job (or she'd have the money) or bad at saving money. The third option is that she might be on a Mac, which has cameras that are just good enough that most girls are willing to let it slide. Either way, you know what you're looking at when you see a girl who's camming with a crappy camera.
Her Props
If a cam girl doesn't use dildos, she's got to be some kind of a fetish model. Any cam girl that doesn't have a niche will have a few sex toys. Whether she has several or just a few, you can't tell too much from the size of the collections. This is because many of the best cam models are really horny nymphos who aren't getting enough in real life, and they usually bring over their personal collections.
The real way to tell whether a cam girl is a pro or not is by the state of their lingerie. A real, good cam girl, the kind you leave great reviews for on an adult cam site like LivePrivates.com, will have stunning lingerie, costumes, and other things that she can use and put on at a moment's notice. Contrary to popular opinion and what we wish were true, most women don't have a huge collection of lingerie, and usually only get it out for special occasions. If your cam girl is the exception to this rule, great. But more likely, she's a sexy professional.
Non-Traditional Settings
Sometimes, you get a girl who doesn't cam at home. There are two types of cam girls that usually cam somewhere else, and the distinction between them is pretty important for figuring out what kind of show you're likely to get. Here's how they break down into two groups:
She's somewhere cheap:
This girl has a living situation that doesn't let her cam at home. She may cam in hotel room for this purpose, since shelling out a hundred bucks for a night isn't as big of a deal if you're planning to make hundreds and hundreds in a night by camming.
She's somewhere expensive:
This girl could cam at home if she wants to, but chooses not to. She makes a career off of her camming, and it's easier for her to separate work from life. With this girl, you're not seeing the place she has to go to so that her family doesn't find out about her habit–you're seeing her office. If she's a fetish model, get ready for the ride of your life.

I'm sure this was started with good intentions, but as far as I can tell from my facebook feed, douchebags just use this as an excuse to pose with their shirts off and have absolutely no idea what it's about. I guess if it is helping though, we're just using these douchebags' egos to our advantage to spread the trend, so I can't be too angry.

On Tsu, The 'Tspin Challenge' Spins Dollars For Charitiesby Ron Callari
Who doesn't remember the Ice Bucket Challenge of 2014 and the frenzy that ensued throughout the United States? It started as a grass roots effort to raise awareness and donations for the disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as the Lou Gehrig disease. Promoted widely on Twitter and Facebook, the virality of the challenge soon caught the attention of newscasters, celebrities, politicians and even motivating folks like former Presidents, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton to get involved.

TeatreNeu: Comedy Club Charges Per Laughby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Pay-as-you-go style compensation structures are not new, although they were once innovative in themselves. A la carte sushi allows you to pay per piece, cell phones have you pay-per-minute, and many services are offered by the hour. So, a business featuring a similar payment structure doesn't makes it unique. What does is the unit item that's being paid for - and it's certainly the first we've seen.
Leak Free: Business Has A Simple Solution To Feminine Hygiene Worldwideby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
The unique needs of a woman are not always recommended by men, but that matters less when there are businesses working hard to make our lives easier. A startup with the desire to better the lives of women around the world is also choosing to give back, proving they're not just about tapping into the revenue in the market.
Want To Make Your Christmas Greener? Rent A Live Tree!by Laurie Kay Olson
Chances are you have already got your Christmas tree this year, but there is something new emerging on the market -- the rental of live Christmas trees. Each year 25-30 million evergreens are harvested to be sold as Christmas trees and at any given time 350 million trees are being grown on farms throughout the U.S. It is a tremendous amount of waste -- even if the tree remains are recycled into mulch. Using a live tree is the ultimate in recycling AND still having a real tree.

AVIOM HITS A HIGH NOTE FOR âAMERICAN IDOLâ?
HOLLYWOOD, CA, MAY 1, 2008âWhen ATK Audiotek of Valencia, CA, was called upon to design an audio network for âAmerican Idol,â? it relied on Aviom and the companyâs A-16II Personal Mixer to help with its communication needs.
The task at hand required a system that would be capable of handling amateur singers accompanied by a professional band and judges exchanging dialogue and interacting with a host, all within a noisy, live performance environment. Drawing from its own experiences in designing audio networks for large venues hosting high-profile events such as the Academy Awards, which like âAmerican Idolâ? also took place at Hollywoodâs Kodak Theatre, the engineers knew that communication was key in this type of environment.
This year, âAmerican Idolâ? has a brand new, larger, multi-level set and, for the first time, conductor Rickey Minor, also the bass payer, is separated from the other musicians in a second-story balcony across from the band. This new configuration made its communication network even more vital to the production. For years, ATK Audiotek had been using an Orchestra Conductor System built for the company from a manufacturer that no longer makes or supports the product. Due to age and extensive use, the system began having technical difficulties. Making use of proven intercom technology along with innovative audio networking and monitor mixing equipment from Aviom, engineers were able to replicate the system, which allows for seamless bi-directional communication between Minor, the director and the mixing engineer as well as cues to the band.
âThis system had long worked for us for events such as the Grammys and the Oscars,â? Arango says. âUsing control boxes and headsets, it creates a perfect communication network for large orchestras as well as for a band such as the one in âAmerican Idol.â We knew we had to make it work, and the Aviom mixers made it possible. It also has the added benefit of allowing the musicians to have increased control over their own audio monitor levels, including the verbal cues.â?
The system is arranged into two individual zonesâone for the band and one for the drummerâto which Minor and the director can speak using Clear-Com® Party-line AB-100 and Studio Technologies 233 announcer consoles as the main interfaces. The band zone is equipped with an A-16R rack mountable mixer controlled by the monitor engineer while the drummer uses a standalone Aviom A-16II mixer, which he can control himself. Tweecomm OB-1 headset box with headphones are powered by Clear-Comâs PS-464, a four-channel intercom power supply that features a fail-safe design for maximum reliability and delivers 2.5 amps at 30 volts.
For the first time, several other band members are using the A-16II for monitor control. âThe players have embraced the mixer and are enjoying the increased control it offers,â? Arango says.
In addition, the system was flexible enough to move from the small set during the earlier rounds of the show to the new, big stage being used for the semi-final rounds with simple wiring adjustments and the addition of several boxes.
âAll we needed to do was add some more OB-1 boxes and lengthen our XLR cable to the units,â? Arango explains. âIt was that easy.â?

Findings for PPC in Chattanooga
Chattanooga Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Chattanooga was the 172nd least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of March 2015. Chattanooga also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Tennessee, ranking as number 5th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 43% Higher in Chattanooga than Huntsville
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Chattanooga are 43% higher than in Huntsville. The average price of a click in Chattanooga is $10.09.
This price differential is somewhat surprising however, as Huntsville has a larger population than Chattanooga.
For better comparison of prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city in terms of population, Oceanside, and found the average price of a click in Chattanooga was 18% lower than in Oceanside.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

I'd like to vote for "statistical mux". I have no idea why it would be useful, but it sounds cool, which is all thats really needed.
I also liked "source route bridging" the last time around, so maybe we could try that... over wireless? Or add a i- as a prefix? i-source route bridging?
Hmm another old IT idea that I liked was cheap computers that hook up to TVs and boot directly into basic in about one second. maybe with the raspberry pi?
I wonder how many seconds regular users will have to wait when downloading their files for the last time

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner says he agrees with President Barack Obama that everyone should pay their fair share of taxes, but says "class warfare" isn't the way to solve the nation's economic problems.
Boehner spoke Monday to a business group at the University of Cincinnati less than two hours after Obama detailed a plan that includes taxing wealthy Americans.
Boehner says he supports a fairer, simpler tax code, but that giving the government more tax dollars would be like "giving a cocaine addict more cocaine."
Boehner says less regulation and less government will encourage businesses to add jobs.
The president will be in Cincinnati on Thursday to see the outdated Brent Spence Bridge over the Ohio River that he highlighted as an example of a needed, jobs-creating infrastructure

Sasquatch! Festival Expanding to Two Weekends With Different Lineups in 2014
By Jenn Pelly on June 13, 2013 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
The scenic Sasquatch! Music Festival typically takes place during Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. Next year, they'll expand with an additional festival over Fourth of July weekend. The fests, which are set to run May 23-25 and July 4-6, will feature different lineups. (Other festivals like Coachella and Austin City Limits that have expanded to two weekends in recent years feature the same lineups both times.)

Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails Top Sasquatch Lineup
By Tom Breihan on February 17, 2009 at 11:35 a.m. EST
This weekend, Trent Reznor announced on the Nine Inch Nails website that his band would tour this year with fellow Lollapalooza 1991 alums Jane's Addiction (original lineup and everything!) and that this might actually be the last Nine Inch Nails tour ever. Well, now we've got one date on that tour: the Sasquatch Music Festival, at the reportedly crazy-beautiful Gorge in Quincy, Washington.
The eighth Sasquatch Festival will jump off this Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25, and now we've got the lion's share of the lineup. Sasquatch always comes with a pretty strong lineup, but compared to previous years, this one looks particularly stacked. Among the highlights: the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Erykah Badu, Fleet Foxes, the Decemberists, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, Bon Iver, the newly christened Santigold, Of Montreal, Grizzly Bear, M83, and the Gaslight Anthem.
Also of note: Congratulations seem to be in order for Kings of Leon, who have finally ascended to American festival-headliner status; the Sasquatch press release even mentions them before Nine Inch Nails!
And this year, Ben Harper will play the role that Jack Johnson filled last year: The guy who plays practically every festival in America, always near the top of the bill, despite the fact that most of the hipster audiences at these festivals hates his music.
Here's the lineup, with more to come:

[0001] This is a complete application claiming the benefit of copending Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/009,592 filed Jan. 4, 1996, and is also a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 08/607,903 filed Feb. 27, 1996.
[0002] This invention relates to dental implants intended for insertion in a hole provided in living jawbone for eventual support of artificial teeth. It is illustrated as realized in a cylindrical dental implant having a screw thread or screw threads on its outer surface, but it is not limited to that type of implant, and is applicable to all types of implants which share the general characteristic that while they are fitted into the living jawbone they extend out of it through the overlying gingival into the mouth wherein they support artificial teeth.
[0003] The part of a dental implant that is in the living jawbone should have a roughened surface confronting the host bone for bonding with the bone, and the part of the same implant that is exposed in the mouth should have a smooth surface because a rough surface in that location might provide a site where bacteria can attach and proliferate. For hygienic reasons the exposed surfaces of the implant should be smooth, while for osseointegration purposes the surfaces of the implant confronting the host bone should be rough. Experience over many years has taught dentists practicing implantology that approximately eighteen months after an implant has been successfully placed in the jawbone of a patient and is performing its task of supporting artificial dentition, the bone surrounding the implant immediately beneath the overlying gingival tissue will in most cases be found to have receded a small distance, exposing to the soft tissue a portion of the roughened surface of the implant which had been in bone. This phenomenon is illustrated in a book by Branemark, Zarb & Albrektsson entitled �Tissue-Integrated Prostheses� 1985, p56, FIG. 1-46. This event, occurring as it does beneath the gum tissue surrounding an artificial tooth, is not immediately visible. In spite of the most diligent hygienic practice, it presents the danger that bacteria which succeed in penetrating between the tooth and its surrounding tissue may attach themselves to the roughened surface, and there proliferate, and bring about an infection putting the implant and the tooth it supports in danger of failure.
[0004] In U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,299 an implant is disclosed which has a threaded portion and a smooth neck portion. No reference is made to roughening of the threaded portion or how smooth the neck portion should be. The neck portion is defined by having a diameter between the �core� diameter of the threaded portion and the outer diameter of the threads and it is disclosed to have a curved surface. The neck portion is said to have an axial length exceeding the settlement in bone level and it is intended to avoid exposure of the threads.
[0005] The present invention relates to an implant which is roughened to improve osseointegration with the bone but which does not provide a surface which can facilitate infection.
[0006] Observations based on practical experience of one of the present inventors over the past ten years or more have revealed that the recession described in the above-mentioned book tends to stop at the level where the implant places a load on the host bone. In a screw-type implant this level is approximately the beginning of the first turn of the screw thread near the gingival end of the implant. However, these observations also indicate that the stopping level is not precisely the same in all cases, and that in some cases the first thread may be exposed. At times, more than one thread is exposed, perhaps up to three threads.
[0007] According to the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the portion of the implant which has a roughened surface is limited to that portion which can be expected to remain in contact with the host bone after the expected bone recession has taken place. The head portion of the implant and the immediately-adjacent part of the heretofore roughened portion, including the initial part of the screw threads, are made smooth. Preferably one to three threads will be left smooth, not roughened. Typically, a length of about 3 mm below the top surface of the implant will be left smooth and not roughened with the remainder of the implant. Because the amount of bone that recedes will vary with different patients, one or more smooth threads may remain permanently in the bone along with the roughened threads. Although these smooth threads may not load the bone to the same degree as the roughened threads, nevertheless the smooth threads will still add significantly to the bone loading.
[0008] Since the exact amount of bone recession that will occur in a given patient cannot be determined in advance of the event with precision, the invention is useful to minimize the danger of infection from this source, that is, to block the infection. Good hygienic practice will continue to be required of the patient. With the invention, such good practice can be expected to be more fruitful than heretofore.
[0009] The invention is described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0010]FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a dental implant according to the invention; and
[0011]FIG. 2 is an end view of the dental implant of FIG. 1
[0012] The implant 10 has a head portion 12, a neck portion 14 and a main body 16 which is roughened on its outer surface in the region 18. Such implants are normally machined from titanium or a titanium alloy and are smooth, until a portion is roughened to facilitate osseointegration with bone. The head portion 12, the neck portion 14, and a small region 20 of the main body 16 immediately adjacent the neck portion, encompassing the first to third thread turns, are smooth. To achieve this result the portions of the implant intended to remain smooth during and after the roughening procedure may be covered during that procedure. For example, if the roughening procedure includes an acid-etching step or steps, these parts may be covered with a suitable wax prior to immersing the implant in the etching acid. A preferred method of roughening the surface is disclosed in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/607,903 mentioned above and incorporated by reference herein. The process has two steps, the first being removal of native oxide from titanium by contact with an aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution, followed by etching with a mixture of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.
[0013] When the implant 10 is first installed in a bore prepared for it in a patient's jawbone, the implant is buried in bone up to and including the head portion 12, to the level indicated by line A-A in FIG. 1. The healing phase then begins, during which new bone is formed close to the immobile, resting implant, and the implant will remain buried in the bone, up to the head portion. All the implant, including the neck portion 12, will confront the host bone in the early part of the healing phase. Thereafter when the implant is loaded and the remodeling phase begins (overlapping the healing phase) during exposure to masticatory forces, the newly formed bone remodels under the applied load until, after about eighteen months, a steady state is achieved. In this state the anchoring bone will be found to have undergone a reduction in height (bone recession) immediately adjacent the implant. The amount of this recession can vary from case to case, between the level indicated by the solid curved lines 30 and the level indicated by the broken curved lines 32, for example, exposing the head portion 12, the neck portion 14 and some or all of the immediately adjacent region 20 of the threaded main body 16. In some cases region 20 may extend further, up to about the third thread. Another way to define regions 14 and 20 is that roughening of the implant begins about 3 mm below the upper flat surface 15 of the implant 10, which receives connecting parts of the dental restoration.
[0014] According to the invention, that region 20 immediately adjacent to the neck portion 14 of the implant is maintained smooth so that when the remodeling phase is completed, there will be little or no roughened implant surface exposed to the soft tissue under the dental restoration that is supported on the implant. The exact dimensions of the smooth region 20 cannot be precisely established for all cases. A length corresponding to about one turn of the screw thread is suitable for many cases, but up to three threads may be left smooth.

@Sir_JBizzle: haha.. I think nintendolife needs a stronger amiibro community, we need to help one another get these things.
Yo @Porky, the only game @Mr_Trill281 plays is Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs for his Sega Genesis.
To people asking about the Wii VC here; newsflash, Nintendo is doing putting things on the Wii Shop.
All you need is the amiibo and some 18KT Gold Spray Paint
Nice article, I hope someone at Nintendo reads it if for no other reason Nintendo hears more about these problems. I agree with the comments above that Nintendo, to be "fair" could sell "limited or some of the highly desired products" direct from their own site, and have a 1 per address rule.
@ThomasBW84: They sold out on Walmart.com in minutes and now they are exclusive to eBay! http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xgold+mario+amiibo.TRS0&_nkw=gold+mario+amiibo&ghostText=&_sacat=0
One day "we are not taking preorders" (Walmart Canada). The next day they are and its Sold Out online in minutes.
SNES shirt FTW!
I have 2 Shulks, one to open and one to keep sealed. That sucks for people who can't get them.
@unrandomsam: it's amazing how much you know about Howard Lincoln, especially being across the pond. Being from Seattle and a Seattle Mariners fan, I know a lot about him. Despite the lack of success with the Mariners, he did some amazing things with Nintendo, including battling to get the rights to Tetris which I recently read about. It's a shame he is not leading NOA right now.
Another day, another amiibo issue. Amiibo's need their own "amiibolife" site. I guess I should be glad that Shulk was a Gamestop exclusive in the U.S. and I got mine without any issues.
But we had to think about expanding the user base, we had to be able to market it and make it easy to pick up for consumers.
Makes sense not to include a charger then with the $200 purchase...
@HyperSonicEXE: Haha... I used to defend Nintendo but its getting harder and hard too.
It's official, NOA thinks its consumers are dumb.
Oh, and if you are trying to attract "new" consumers, why did you omit a charger to the "new" $200 3DS?
Nintendo, I thought you were concerned with producing less waste and being a more "earth friendly" company??? At least that is the impression I got with the low energy using Wii U, the lack of manuals, and the flimsy game cases nowadays but now you are creating even more physical waste for the environment with these products. Oh, and for the record I am not one of those environmental people (I have over 10 amiibo); I just find it funny that it is a reason they gave for lack of manuals and the weak game cases I feel like I can rip in half.
@Spoony_Tech: Agreed, @WaveBoy should be ashamed. This game is a NES all timer! One of the few originals I kept from my childhood. He must be blinded by his California Raisin shades. If replaying the game to get to the final boss is such a pain, then why not just save state it right before that fight?
If only games today had half the creativity that this game had...
Man, I aint got time to for all these games. Still have Hyrule Warriors to finish, Bayonetta 1&2, than the upcoming 2015 games like Wooly World, Xenoblade, Star Fox, and Zelda in addition to this game that "contains a lot of elements well over the volume to be provided by two regular games."
I'm sticking with amiibo's and and an occasional First 4 Figures figure.
I'm holding off until Xenoblade 3D is released, maybe there will be a bundle.
For as much "negativity" that surrounds Nintendo right now, their special/limited edition products sure are in demand!
The power of the Nintendo brand is real.

There's a reminder of just how sophisticated ancient peoples were in the field of metalurgy discussed in the March/April issue of "Archaeology" magazine. The article comments on how the ancient Egyptians made jewelry beads from iron sourced from meteorites! These kinds of discoveries never fail to impress upon me just how far in the past complex metal working is and how creative ancient civilizations could be, given what we consider today to be "primitive" technology. These ancient beads were considered, in their time, as more valuable than gold, since the production of any iron based objects was rare and only for the ruling class individuals. These objects very likely also had ceremonial/spiritual functions, as the source material literally came from the sky.
Ancient Metalurgy
The Aviator Returns
Yesterday, I picked up my wife from the Tri-City Airport and discovered that the "Varney Aviator" sculpture I created in 2001 has been moved back to its original site inside the entrance. This was done while the airport undergoes major remodeling/rebuilding. I don't yet know where it will wind up after all the building is complete in another year or so. This is a life size realistic portrait bust of a 1920's era aviator complete with goggles and headgear, which was commissioned by the Franklin County Historical Society. I also designed the display cabinet and had it built by a cabinet maker in the local area to my specifications. One of the best design aspects of the piece is the large Plexiglas cover over the bust, which does exactly what I wanted, and that is to visually "float" the sculpture in space. This art piece celebrates the first airmail runs in Pasco after the end of World War 1.
Facial Reconstruction Notes
My last bog entry dealt with Naia, the 15 year old dating from almost 13,000 years in the past and her facial reconstruction. Another reconstruction that I mentioned was "Spirit Cave Man," whose reconstruction I also worked on in consultation with Dr. Chatters. I'm going to use him as an example of the layering of facial tissues interpreted with modeling clay. Once the 3D print or plastic cast of the original skull is set up in a neutral position on a sculpting stand, and the soft tissue thicknesses determined, (these are designated with eraser markers here.) then the muscles of the face are built up in the proper sequence. After that is cross-checked for anatomical accuracy, then the skin and fatty tissue layer is modeled into place to give us a face. Finally, the age of the individual at the time of death is created with lines of age and environmental influences taken into account.
As I stated in an earlier blog, I was invited to work in partnership with Dr. James Chatters to create a forensic facial reconstruction of "Naia," a 15 year old girl, who died 12,800 years ago and whose skeletal remains were discovered in the Yucatan, Mexico in 2007. As Jim and I worked on the reconstruction, we were photographed by the National Geographic Society and filmed for an upcoming documentary by NOVA. Jim and I worked together on the reconstruction of Kennewick Man in 1997, and on a couple of other facial reconstructions, including Spirit Cave Man. The process of facial reconstruction is a complicated and tightly controlled effort, involving a system of interpreting the facial tissue layers with clay over a 3D digital reproduction of the persons skull. The National Geographic Society just published their article, "First Americans," in the January, 2015 issue. More on this later. Stay tuned.
The Word
The totally recycled and rebuilt "The News!" sculpture is now finished and ready for exhibiting and purchase. It is now entitled "The Word." If you look at the pictures, you'll see why. With the rebuild, the piece took on an altered content from the earlier sculpture, but the general idea is very similar, since the content has always been about the history of written language from earliest pictographs to modern digital symbols. I like the physical form of this new piece better than the older form, as it is simpler and includes the stainless digital symbols. The coloration is also changed as the patina was completely altered from the earlier sculpture. So, I have this new piece to offer to you collectors out there. Come one, come all! P.O.R.
An Open Mind
I have been working on several new sculptures lately, as mentioned in my last entry. I completed a couple of them and have another under development, which is entitled "An Open Mind." It is still in the clay stage, and will be cast into bronze at a later date. I have included a picture here of the piece in process. The book forms you see will be developed in clay, like the head of the woman, and then I will mold the piece to produce waxes for casting into metal. This sculpture was inspired by my own on-going interest in book learning and education and has a twist of humor to it. The head is approximately 3/4 life size. I think "An Open Mind" would make a great piece for a library, educational center, or private home. If anyone is interested in commissioning a bronze edition of this sculpture, please let me know through this web site, and I will work up a quote on the cost.
New Work
I mentioned, a while back, that I was reworking the old "The News!" piece. It is finally completed and, as you can see from the pictures, has changed considerably. The new look has come closer to conveying my original intentions with this sculpture. It has a more direct presentation to the content. I am still working on a new title, since the old title doesn't fit the piece anymore, and I'm not sure it ever did. Titles are important to me, as they go to the heart of content, and show a solid commitment on my part. Sometimes, they come to me before I even start the physical assembly, and sometimes they come slowly, usually when I'm not looking. Look for my work in the field of forensic facial reconstruction in the upcoming January issue of National Geographic. I will have more on that story after this publication.
As October unfolds, and we get closer to All Hollows Eve, I'm reminded of the stories of Ray Bradbury and his brand of introspection. With the harvesting all around me, including the grape crushing I help my friend, Larry Oates with at Sleeping Dog Wines, I sense the winding down of the year, and I find myself pondering life, death and renewal. I've been working on some facial reconstruction sculpting of ancient individuals, who very likely built their belief systems around seasonal changes and the planting and harvesting of crops, changes in the cosmos overhead, and, in turn, created visual symbolism that related to the flow of nature and how it effected them. When I study long periods of history, I tend to feel humbled at the scope of natural forces surrounding me and respond accordingly.
Fall is in the Air!
Fall is here, and the light outdoors is getting that wonderful low angle to it. Along with the crisp edges and shadows, objects stand out in contrast and appear even more three dimensional. Although it is still warm here in the Columbia Basin area- close to 90 degrees as the high- most of the day is pleasant to be out, which feeds my hiking hobby, and the resulting nature observations fuel my art making. I have several new ideas I am working on in my noggin, and a few are becoming tangible, as well. More on all that to come very soon.
20KLUS Ongoing
There's a lot to communicate about the "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (20KLUS) series of illustrations, since it has developed over about 50 years of my life. Verne's novel was the first book I read all the way through from my grade school library- and that was a really poor translation with half of the content left out! The Disney movie certainly grabbed me visually, and many other versions of the story over the years. When I finally got to read Miller's translation, with all the original content in place, I could pull all the pieces together into my own visual interpretations. Why black and white? Probably because the novel is a story of the opposition of forces and extremes. I also wanted to give a tip of the hat to the original illustrations, which were wood engravings and printed in B&W.

After being issued a 3-day notice b/c one of my roommates did not pay rent for August, the landlord asked us to voluntarily move out so that he could just re-rent the apartment and not have to go through a proper eviction. We obliged and now because he was unable to rerent the unit in time, he is charging us rent for September and is refusing to issue a security deposit. He refused to give us anything in writing before we left and said he was just trying to make it easier. It has been well over the 21 day period that landlords have to issue a statement for why they are keeping a deposit and I have not received anything, even at the old address. I would like to go after him for a constructive "self-help" eviction for 3 times the deposit plus a portion of rent. Is this doable?
Real Estate Attorney
No, this is not constructive eviction. But since you didn't pay rent and he's issued a 3-day notice to evict you, you may have waived your right to receive a statement for the security deposit within 21 days under CC 1950.5.

If it's a hull class less than a cruiser it should be a kill

Before this season, it seemed the top -- and not the middle -- of the order was where Taylor Lindsey was headed. But a breakout 2013 season may have given the No. 3 Angels prospect a chance to hit for more RBI chances down the road.
That was the case in the Arizona Fall League on Monday. Mesa's second baseman hit fifth and capitalized with a three-run homer in a 7-6 win over Scottsdale.
Lindsey hit his home run off Scorpions starter Vidal Nuno during a four-run third inning. Washington's top prospect Brian Goodwin led off the frame with a double to center field and then came around to score when Detroit's Devon Travis reached on a throwing error by shortstop Alen Hanson. The Cubs' No. 4 prospect Kris Bryant got aboard on third baseman Aderlin Rodriguez's fielding miscue.
Then Lindsey connected on an 0-1 offering from Nuno and sent the ball over the fence in right. The homer was the left-handed hitter's first in the Arizona Fall League and gave him hits in each of his first three AFL games.
"Guys were on base for me," he said. "I was trying to get a pitch up. He threw me a pitch inside. I hit it on the barrel and it happened to go out. It was awesome to do that for the team and to help us win."
The Angels' 2010 first-round pick (37th overall) is hitting .357 with six RBIs in the AFL after batting .274 with a career-high 17 home runs for Double-A Arkansas this summer. The roundtrippers nearly doubled his previous career best of nine, and the 21-year-old added 22 doubles and had a .780 OPS.
The infielder took Pioneer League MVP honors in 2011, before collecting a .289 average with nine homers for Class A Advanced Inland Empire in 2012.
Lindsey told MLB.com after the game he's enjoying the chance to play in the AFL, where he's teamed up with other top prospects such as Addison Russell, Jorge Soler, Goodwin and Bryant. The Angels don't have him working on anything in particular, he said, but rather to improve his all-around game and get some more experience.
"My goals are to come out and play hard every day and show what I can do," he said. "Have fun and prove myself."
Goodwin and Detroit prospect Tyler Collins both had two-hit games, while Bryant and Travis each recorded stolen bases for the Solar Sox.
Braves prospects Tommy La Stella and Robby Hefflinger led the way for Scottsdale. La Stella had two RBIs and a run while Hefflinger was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Yankees' No. 3 prospect Tyler Austin and Giants' No. 15 prospect Andrew Susac added two hits apiece, including a triple for Austin.

Shortage of dorms has UW-Eau Claire students living in hotels
Once again this fall, a shortage of dorm space has hundreds of Wisconsin college students living elsewhere.
At the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, almost 230 students are staying in two hotels, because more upper-classmen than expected decided to keep living on-campus.
Sixty-six freshmen are among those sent to hotels.
Eau Claire housing director Chuck Major says they still get the normal dorm services - and it still resembles a dorm-type atmosphere.
