Unless you collect only new issues acquired directly from the issuing postal administration, the stamps in your collection are previously owned. Depending on how old the stamps are, there might have been a dozen or more owners before you.
We are merely temporary curators of the stamps in our collection. If we take good care of them, another generation of collectors will be able to collect and enjoy them at a later date.
Caring for the stamps you have collected is not difficult.
Common-sense practices, such as careful storage in albums or stock books, are the first lines of defense in making certain stamps will not become damaged.
Storing albums upright, as well as keeping them out of direct sunlight and away from humidity and broad temperature swings, will help assure the stamps stay in good condition.
Avoid picking up bad habits. One of the most annoying and pervasive habits is writing on the backs of stamps.
If the stamps in my own collection are representative of the stamps in circulation, the habit of pencilling the catalog number and sometimes even the catalog value on the back of a stamp is widespread. Don't do it!
Writing on the back of a stamp makes no sense. Dozens of different stamp catalogs are published all over the world. Which catalog was used to determine the catalog number?
Also, catalog numbers have been known to change over time, and catalog values change frequently. The collector who wrote the catalog number on the back of the stamp may not have correctly identified the stamp, and the number could be wrong.
Figure 1 shows a stamp from Tonga that was incorrectly identified on the reverse as Scott 39, a ½-penny green Coat of Arms stamp with the turtles watermark. The stamp is actually Scott 73 with a multiple crown and script CA watermark.
Pencil marks on the reverse of a stamp create additional problems. If it is a used stamp, a light pencil mark might be removable using a soft eraser, but there is a great risk of creating a thin in the paper from rubbing the eraser back and forth in one place.
Attempting to erase writing on the back of a stamp can lead to bent corners and tears. Troublesome though they may be, leaving the pencil marks alone is probably the best way to keep the stamp in reasonably good condition.
If light pencil marks are annoying, imagine what a ballpoint pen can do to a stamp. Many years ago, I purchased a stamp lot sight unseen from a mail-order dealer. Every stamp in the lot had a catalog number written with ballpoint pen, and, to make it even worse, the collector who wrote the numbers used so much pressure that the numbers were embossed into the stamp.
I returned the lot for a refund, but recreated the effect on the stamp illustrated in Figure 2, the Australia Queen Elizabeth 4-penny stamp (Scott 294) issued in 1957. The image should show the embossing from the pen pressure at top right on the front of the stamp.
Collectors of mint stamps would not want writing on the back of that otherwise fresh gum, and yet it is surprising at how often you see an otherwise mint never-hinged stamp with writing on top of the gum. The pencil marks are nearly impossible to remove, and the attempt to do so will leave a mint stamp with disturbed gum.
Even worse than a catalog number is a lengthy description written on the reverse of a stamp. The amount of writing on the Swedish stamp shown in Figure 3 is almost comical. A prior owner must have spent a lot of time working on the varieties and did not want to get them confused. The information that was written on the stamp might have been better placed on the album page in the space where the stamp was mounted.
I occasionally receive letters and e-mails from collectors voicing dissatisfaction with dealers who write values using pencil on the front of covers they sell. If this annoys you, it is best to discuss it directly with the dealer.
Encourage the dealer to use glassines or Mylar sleeves and to put the price on the outer covering.
Once you have acquired a nice cover I implore you to avoid writing anything on it. This may sound like elementary advice, but there are collectors who seem to enjoy pointing out significant points on a cover and recording them for posterity.
Figure 4 shows an example of an otherwise very nice 1946 registered official cover from Ceylon.
A former owner felt the need to draw attention to the town name that had a different spelling in the postmark than on the registration label.
Arrows, circles and underlines emphasize the added text: "Note the spelling with the postal mark." An otherwise desirable cover with an uncommon "M.O. & S.B." (money order & savings bank) postmark was instantly and permanently made less desirable with the addition of a few pen strokes.
One of the easiest and best things you can do to help the hobby prosper well into the future is to take personal responsibility for the care of your collection.
Realize that your collection will someday become another person's pride and joy. Take proper care of it for your own enjoyment now and for the collectors in the future.

The week kicked off with something of a do-over: a sizable assortment of better United States stamps and covers that had appeared in four previous sales, but whose winning bidder then failed to pay for them.

D'Antoni to bench Mosgov, start Chandler
Nov 10, 2010, 6:21 PM EDT
According to Jonathan Abrams of the New York Times, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni plans on going back to a small-ball starting lineup against the Warriors tonight. Rookie center Timofey Mosgov will start the game on the bench, Amar'e Stoudemire will start at center, and Wilson Chandler will start at the power forward spot.
When explaining the move, D'Antoni said that "he wasn't getting 20 rebounds a game," and said that he "may have messed up" by putting Mosgov in the starting lineup at the beginning of the year. Mosgov has averaged 4.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.57 fouls, and 1.86 turnovers in 14.6 minutes per game this season.
Stoudemire has only shot 43.4% from the field this season and has been extremely effective playing center for D'Antoni before, so this move may be as much about Stoudemire as it is about Mosgov — with more space to operate in, Stoudemire tends to become far more effective on the offensive end.

Under the teen-pop beats and R&B-trained harmonies, Bon Jovi-style bombast has often lurked beneath the Backstreet Boys' surface. Now that boy-band dance grooves have vanished from radio airwaves, the urge to rock out in a superslick power ballad kinda way dominates Never Gone, the first album in five years from Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean and Nick Carter. Never Gone never attains the dizzy heights of previous hits and never reaches far enough toward new territory: The lead single, "Incomplete," borrows enough from Coldplay's piano atmospherics to be both halfway decent and disturbingly crass, and Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik contributes "Weird World," which suggests Ben Folds without the wit. Whether working with their original Swedish Svengali, Max Martin, or platinum producers like John Shanks (Michelle Branch, Kelly Clarkson), the Backstreet men rarely accelerate beyond a midtempo thud. And with all the millions they've made, can't the Backstreet organization afford someone to write better titles than "My Beautiful Woman" and "Poster Girl"?

Which major U.S. city is doing the most to advance energy efficiency?
According to a new report conducted by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), Boston was recognized as having the strongest overall policies aimed at cutting energy use and costs.
The report is the first to rank populous cities exclusively on energy efficiency efforts. Cities are evaluated on what actions they are taking to reduce energy use across five categories: buildings, transportation, energy and water utility efforts, local government operations, and community-wide initiatives.
The top five most energy efficient cities are:
1. Boston
2. Portland
3. San Francisco and New York
5. Seattle
To see the cities' strong points, check out ACEEE's interactive infographic.

I heard how I cried every day when my mom dropped me off at school. I heard how I was bored in class because I had learned to read at age 3, long before going to kindergarten. I heard how my teacher was wasting classroom time on political issues by having the class write a letter about saving some whales. I heard how the teacher hurt my feelings badly by insulting my quiet speaking voice during a presentation. I heard how I had the problem boy as my seatmate because I was the best behaved student. … [Read more...]
Doug Phillips on the Threat of Population Decline
Libby Anne has an interesting article this morning at Love, Joy, Feminism addressing overpopulation (an issue which is only controversial among those fundamentalist Christians who hold that the Genesis command to "be fruitful and multiply" still applies today):I recently ran across an article on Vision Forum president Doug Phillips' blog, in which he repeats a line I heard so often growing up: Our world isn't facing an overpopulation crisis, but is rather headed toward a demographic decline that will result in economic catastrophe. In other words, having 12+ children doesn't contribute to overpopulation but rather serves as a way to fight and avert the potential problems of demographic de … [Read more...]

Snipped! – Part 3: Marital Problems
by Incongruous CircumspectionWhen I was about 7 years old, my parents realized that they were having marital problems. My father knew there was a problem long before this, but he was now ready to do something about it. They began the process of looking for a marriage counselor. They found many. They went to many. But it was always the same song and dance.The marriage counselor would begin by getting the story of their marriage from both parties and then begin speaking to my father about what he could do to improve himself. My dad, being a humble and loving gentleman, was more than happy to take sole ownership of the repairing of the marriage, but knew that doing this would only … [Read more...]

If you thought Pagani had replaced the Zonda with the Huayra, think again. The Modenese purveyor of the most exotic of supercars is apparently willing to continue building Zondas for moneyed buyers who still want them. And far from simply continuing the model it had, Pagani has been further developing the Zonda into ever-more extreme variants.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
08 Feb 2010 15:03 GMT
Steyn struck again in India's second innings, sending back Virender Sehwag for 16 while Morne Morkel pegged back the off-stump of the other opener, Gautam Gambhir.
Subramaniam Badrinath's resistance in his first Test appearance was cut short in the next over when he chipped Steyn straight to short mid-wicket.
His 56-run innings came off 139 balls and included seven fours.
The other debutant, Wriddhiman Saha was out off the first ball he faced from Steyn. Zaheer Khan and Amit Mishra played on to their stumps before Harbhajan Singh was trapped lbw, giving Steyn his 13th five-wicket haul in 37 Tests.
The only positive for India was the 109-run knock by Sehwag who hit 15 fours and also shared 136 runs for the fourth wicket with Badrinath after India were reeling at 56-3.Collapse
But Sehwag was dismissed shortly after reaching his 18th Test century when he sliced a quite wide delivery from paceman Wayne Parnell (1-31) to cover where Jean-Paul Duminy took a well-judged catch.
Replying to South Africa's first innings 558-6 declared, India were off to a disastrous start, losing their three top-order wickets inside the first hour.
Steyn got rid of Tendulkar (seven) and Vijay (four) after Morkel (1-58) had dismissed Gambhir (12) to reduce the hosts to 119-3 at lunch.
Gambhir, coming into the series with eight centuries in his last 11 Tests, was out off the first ball he faced when he was caught by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher after poking at an away-going delivery.
The second and final Test between the world's top two teams begins in Kolkata on February 14.
South Africa can snatch back the number one Test ranking from India if they win the series while the hosts need just a draw to remain on top.

Movie: Thomas Heatherwick talks to Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs about redesigning the iconic red double-decker bus for London in this interview filmed by Dezeen at the preview of Heatherwick Studio: Designing the Extraordinary at the V&A museum in London.
Above photo is by Iwan Baan
In the movie, Heatherwick describes why a second staircase and third door can help the busses stick to a timetable and reveals the best way to disguise traces of kebab smeared on a seat.
The first of the new buses went into service in February, causing a stir with the return of a hop-on-hop-off platform at the back and bands of glass swooping round two stairwells.
Read more about the design in our earlier story »
The exhibition continues until 30 September - read more details here and watch Heatherwick demonstrate the exhibition guide dispenser inspired by printing presses in our earlier movie here or below.

In a tax decision that could have wide business implications, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that employment taxes should not have been imposed on severance pay in an involuntary layoff.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said Quality Stores, a retailer, and employees who participated in the suit, could claim a refund for employment tax imposed on the severance pay.
The taxes at issue were Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA, taxes that help pay for the U.S. Social Security retirement pension program and the Medicare health program. FICA taxes are paid by a company and its employees.
The decision could trigger a flood of claims for severance-pay employment-tax refunds by companies that had involuntary layoffs, said Emin Toro, partner at the law firm Covington & Burling LLP.
"I am aware of dozens of Fortune 500 companies that could claim tax refunds as a result of the Sixth Circuit's decision," he said.
The issue — one that has been is dispute for years — could end up before the Supreme Court because there is a split between appeals courts over it, Toro said.
In 2008, a separate court ruled against railroad company CSX, saying it was liable for FICA taxes on severance packages.
The Sixth Circuit judges admitted their ruling created a conflict. "We acknowledge that this issue of statutory construction is complex and that the correct resolution is far from obvious," said Judge Jane Stranch in the court's opinion.
"While the Supreme Court may ultimately provide us with the correct resolution ... only Congress can clarify the statutes concerning the imposition of FICA tax," the court said.

Google offers free Wi-Fi in New York`s Chelsea area
London: Internet search giant Google has announced that it will offer a free wireless internet network in the Chelsea area of New York.
Google announced the plans with Charles Schumer, the New York Senator, the Senator`s office said in a statement.
According to the paper, the firm is reportedly part of Google`s attempt to foster a technology community in `Silicon Alley`, the New York rival to California`s Silicon Valley.
The free WiFi would cover part of New York`s Chelsea neighbourhood, the area that includes Google New York headquarters, the paper said.
The move is another step in Google`s experiments with network provision.
It hosts a WiFi network around its California base in Mountain View and has been working on a fibre broadband project in Kansas City.

The Stupidity and Futility Of The Living Wage
By John Hubbuch
It is hard for me to believe that I voted twice for Ronald Reagan as President of the United States. Having lived in Oak Park since 1976, almost all of my conservative beliefs have been washed away by the warm liberal/progressive waters of Oak Park.
Yet ever so often there stirs a memory of my University of Chicago Law School education from 1971-1974. At that time, you didn't really study law, but a hybrid of law and economics. Among the things I learned was the Principle Of The Unintended Effect. The principle recognized that sometimes the best of intentions sometimes cause things to get worse rather than better. Some of you may recall the TV sit com WKRP In Cincinnati episode when the radio station dropped Thanksgiving turkeys from a helicopter , but unfortunately for the recipients on the ground, the turkeys were frozen.
Many Oak Parkers probably favor this idea of "a living wage" wherein workers would be paid a $15 hour minimum wage--almost double the current Illinois minimum wage of $8.25 per hour. My initial impulse was to think that a living wage was a great idea. Almost 15 percent of Americans are below the poverty line, and the growing gap between the plutocrats and the rest of us is a scandal.
The problem is the unintended effect. Mandate $15 per hour and employers will lay off workers, be incenticized to automate and to lay off the poorer educated workers for better educated ones. Think Trader Joe's and Starbucks. The result of a living wage would almost certainly be an increase in the already high unemployment rate of our most needy. And of course the cost of the doubled wages would be passed on to the consumer. Even Oak Parkers may not be ready for a 2 dollar value menu. The plight of millions of unskilled, uneducated workers is a big problem in the country, but doubling their wages is not the solution.

Why you can't have good food, good service and a good price? These are not mutually exclusive qualities. Surely, you and many here have been to places that have all three qualities. I'll name three local places off the top of my head: Katy's, George's and Jerusalem Caf�. Easy.

A Consumer, you have the triangle of common sense when it comes to restaurants. You have: Good Food, Good Service, and Price. You can only pick TWO. If you want good food and good service, price is going to be high. If you want a low price and good service, most likely, the food will suck. Or if you want good food and a low price, the service is going to be bad. So if you raise the cost of workers, restaurants will have to raise their prices.

It is a pleasant experience to buy something at Starbucks, Trader Joe's and Culver's, because the people who work there are pleasant. A big contrast to the attitudes you encounter at Wendy's and Jewel. Plus at Wendy's and to a lesser extent McDonald's they just can never get your order right.

John, the legacy of liberalism is a host of unintended consequences. A living wage won't work for the very reasons you mention. Cost of goods will go up along with unemployment. I suspect many places would seek to automate the lowest skilled positions. The technology to eliminate cashiers altogether at fast food restaurants is now available. Right now it is cost effective to keep them, but a living wage quickly changes that math...

Byron Scott would coach anyone, even the Clippers
Feb 9, 2010, 8:25 AM EDT
Here's how you can tell someone is in full job search mode: They say any job sounds good. Cleaning out portable toilets at an amusement park? Sure, I can see myself doing that. Great chance for advancement.
Coaching the Clippers? Sure, great opportunity.
The second of those is something Byron Scott said on a Los Angeles radio interview Monday. He wants to coach again in the NBA. Badly. Badly enough to take any job.
One some levels the Clippers are a tempting team for a coach: They have some talent with Baron Davis and Chris Kaman, not to mention when Blake Griffin returns he will remind people why he was the number one overall pick. Some decent role players there, too. But the flip side is this is a franchise that never wins, and has an owner more concerned with the bottom line than Ws. Put simply: This is an organization mired in a losing mentality and one coach can't change that if there are not changes above him.
And for the Clippers, Scott could give them a credibility boost — a former Lakers star who has coached a team all the way to the NBA Finals (Nets) and had some success everywhere he has been.
But Scott isn't getting the Clippers job anyway. Remember how he lost his team and players in New Orleans (and New Jersey, for that matter)? His first clash of personalities in the Big Easy was with Baron Davis — now the Clippers starting point guard and center of the team. Not sure even the Clippers want to try to reconcile that marriage.
Besides, the job Scott really wants is down the hall in Staples Center anyway. He'd be a bad fit right now for that spot, as well, but that's another story.

No Stars, Just Oprah in Final Episode: 'Until We Meet Again'
Just like that, it's over. Oprah Winfrey delivered her final hour on Wednesday in a quiet and decidedly celeb-less sendoff for her 25-year-old talk show. "You and this show have been the great love of my life," she told the lucky audience near the end of the episode, but not before taking viewers on a trip down memory lane.
The show began with a clip from first show ever -- Sept. 8, 1986. According to TV Squad and the Chicago Tribune, audience members were already welling up in the first minute. "How truly amazing it is, this journey that you and I have shared together," she said. "I mean really, people."
Later, she talked about the transformation the show took from featuring "people making bad choices" to the lifestyle and star-studded format it became.
Instead of having a flood of celebs show up, like they did on Monday and Tuesday's episodes, Oprah brought out nuggets of wisdom for her TV followers. "You are responsible for your own life," she said, later advising viewers to look within for guidance. "Your life is speaking to you. What is it saying?"
She got deep, often: "What is all life? What is every flower, every rock, every tree, every human being? Energy. And you're responsible for the energy you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others."
Celebrities were in the audience, including Tyler Perry, Maria Shriver, Suze Orman and Cicely Tyson, but none of them joined Winfrey on stage.
There's also a bit of self-back-slapping, when Oprah beamed that people looked to her show to address social stigmas like sex abuse, AIDS, drug addiction and coming out. "Little by little we started to release the shame," she said.
Towards the end of the hour, Oprah says ending her legendary talk show is "all sweet, no bitter" and that she nothing but gratitude for the time she spent with us.
"I thank you for being as much of a sweet inspiration for me as I've tried to be for you," she said. "I won't say goodbye. I'll just say, Until we meet again. To God be the glory."
At that, she walked through the studio audience as Paul Simon's '10 Years' played, hugging Stedman and she begins to cry. Then, Oprah head backstage to hug her staff and ends it all by picking up her dog and saying "We did it, Sadie."
She walks from the camera and ... scene.
The episode was taped on Tuesday at Harpo Studios in Chicago and its contents were a closely guarded secret. Promos for the episode ask "Where were you?" and "Where will you be?" for the finale. One lucky fan, Jackie Polk, told the New York Times that ticket-holders were instructed to wear brightly colored clothing, so that "We all look like a bag of skittles."
As you my have heard, Winfrey left her show after 25 years to concentrate on OWN, her fledgling cable network.

There will always be haters to slow down their own progress in life...everyone is entitled to their opinion and you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but never all of the people all of the time. She was full of herself, full of giving, full of caring, and full of sharing she is and will always be seen in most peoples eyes as one of the greats to go down in history as a humanitarian.

But his love for Jews seems to vanish when they open their mouths -- which led him to make some remarks that will undoubtedly be interpreted as anti-Semitic.
Beck, who recently hosted a "Restoring Courage" rally in Israel, said on his radio show Thursday that Jews drive him crazy when they talk over one another.
"They're constantly talking! I don't know how that society even functions," Beck said.
He then compared them to members of a family of eight constantly interrupting one another at dinner.
Beck quickly defended his remarks, adding that there is no one as pro-Israel as he. Beck has always been a staunch defender of Israel on his show, often to an extreme that makes many uncomfortable.
Yet he has also earned the ire of Jewish groups for his Nazi references and for his crusade against George Soros, a Holocaust survivor.

MSI Mania - 3 of MSI's latest goodies - The Products - Wireless 11g ContinuedToday we are taking a break from looking at the usual motherboard, video card or CPU and we've decided to look at three of MSI's latest PC goodies. Read on as we take a look at their USB Mega Stick, 8x DVD recorder and Wireless 11g equipment.
Wireless 11g Continued
Now we move to the notebook Wireless g, that's right, MSI hasn't forgotten the mobile users. While Centrino units now have built in 802.11b wireless LAN, if you want to go to "g", you will need to either take out the internal "b" card or insert a "g" card. The other option is, and is for users of laptops without any wireless LAN to use the Cardbus adapter. MSI packs the unit in a similar Wireless g box with the Cardbus adapter logo on the front. Inside you simply get a driver disk and an information manual, as installation is just to plug the card into a free PCMCIA 32bit expansion slot, available on 99% of all laptops now.
The Cardbus unit itself is rather compact. MSI has placed all the circuitry under a metal protective layer to prevent EMI distortion within the wireless signal or the PC.
One cool feature is the Active and Link LEDs. The Active LED comes on when the unit has been detected within Windows and the OS has made a bus link. The Link LED flashes when sending or receiving data from the Network and the coolest part is the fact that MSI has used blue laser LEDs, which do look great in the dark.
One of the best features of the Wireless range MSI delivers is the SAP or Software Access Point program. If you don't have a hardware access point, you can use one of the PC's with the MSI Wireless controllers as an Access Point. You simply setup an AP name, IP parameters and any other wireless device can connect to your PC. This comes in especially handy if you want to share your broadband with other PC's in your home and don't want to sell out for a hardware Access Point router type device.
Overall the MSI Wireless G series was a great success with the Software AP making it the top of the range for a wireless setup.
- Pros
Supports 54mbps transfer rates
Backwards compatible with 802.11b hardware
Software Access Point program eliminates need for Hardware Access Point
- Cons
No compatibility with 802.11a
Rating - 9.5 out of 10 and TweakTown's "MUST HAVE" Editor's Choice Award
