r2th: Nice workout. Looks like you should be able to handle a low-38 10k at this point. Your 5k PR is laughably out of date considering your fitness.
given both calbearsfan and r2th's fitness, those 5 and 10K PRs should be laughed right off their sig lines. Ridiculous. When I get as fit as they are now and I know a PR is weak sauce I start hunting for a PR race. But that's me and I'm kinda predispostioned to race too much for my own good.
Ha-ha... Thanks NC_Ken. Easier to say than to do, at least for me . Have you ever ran Embarcadero 10K with DSE club in San Francisco in November. How is that for a PR course? What about people on the street, any inconvenience with them?
I ran their Embarcadero 10K years ago, though a spring version. Can't ask for a flatter and simpler course in San Francisco. Foot traffic was fairly light when I did it and a non-issue - no one is awake then and all the businesses are still closed. Mild issues near the end - but you'll be fast enough to avoid it. we mostly started running in the middle of the street until the sidewalk gets wider after pier 39 - so just watch out for the streetcar and cars and the sidewalk curbs if you need to get up on them. Simple, cheap, and flat.
PRs 5K 21:30, 10K 44:48, 1/2 1:39:19, full 3:26:22, 50K trails 5:34, 50 miler trails 9:28, 100 miler 27:33. IM 13:13.
Upcoming: 12/6/15 CIM, 2/14/16 LA, 4/18/16 Boston, 5/7/16 Canyons 100K.
Wow, rfl86. You've been gone only a few months but I don't remember you being so tall, old, skinny, slow, or Nate-ish.
Follow @WolfmanHorsecow
obtuse - thanks! I think I will try it in November! I think, even if there are any problems, it is still ridiculously cheap comparing to any other races in Bay Area...

This conditioner is amazing. I can use it as a rinse out, deep conditioner, moisturizer and leave in. It moisturizes very well, distributes easy, and is concentrated so a little goes a long way. It is 12 oz so for $16 that is great, most products are only 8 oz. Samples are offered so I would say try a sample first, you will not be dissappointed. KBN also has excellent customer service.

Remember when I posted about speaking for free at conferences? And everybody got so upset? Because, you know... community!
Somebody tell me how this is any different.
When a conference chooses not to offer its speakers even a modest stipend beyond expenses (and let's not even begin to discuss the conferences who don't bother covering expenses), they are essentially asking the speaker to do all that work for free. Just like asking a musician to use his music for free. And some musicians will do it for "the exposure", because they want the gig credit to list on their website more than they want the money. But at some point, the band needs to be paid, or else they break up and great music goes unplayed.
Just sayin'.
A while back, I mentioned that I had co-founded a startup (LiveTheLook); I'm saddened to report that just after Halloween, my co-founder and I split up, and I'm no longer affiliated with the company except as an adviser and equity shareholder. There were a lot of reasons for the split, most notably that we had some different ideas on how to execute and how to spend the limited seed money we'd managed to acquire, but overall, we just weren't communicating well.
While I'm sad to no longer be involved with LtL, I wish Francesca and the company nothing but success for the future, and in the meantime I'm exploring options and figuring out what my next great adventure will be. It's not the greatest time of the year (the "dead zone" between Thanksgiving and Christmas) to be doing it, but fortunately I've gotten a few leads that may turn out to be hits. We'll have to see. And, while we're sorting that out, I've got plans for things to work on in the meantime, including a partnership effort with my eldest son on a game he invented.
So, what I'm saying here is that if anyone's desperate for consulting, now's a great time to reach out, because I can be bought.

Cameron and Clegg selected as British synchronised swimming team
With only seven months until the start of the Olympics, it was revealed at Scunthorpe baths today that David Cameron and Nick Clegg will represent Team GB in the synchronised swimming.
'They have that innate affinity that marks out all the great synchronised swimming teams,' said Steve Parry, BBC Sport's swimming pundit. 'It's their shared sense of direction that's most uncanny. When David suddenly lurches to the right, Nick instinctively follows – they are inseparable. In many ways they remind me of Torvill and Dean, but older, flabbier and with two Deans but no Torvill.'
As the two men proudly modelled their trunks for the press – a pleasant mid-blue with a yellow stripe up the bum crack – reporters predicted medal success for the pair.
'Nick adds much to the pair's chances of winning gold. He's a born follower, and, after two years of hard training, can sync his own movements seamlessly to that of David. He's a natural in the water, making barely any splash in anything he does. Conversely, the key to David's leadership of the team is keeping his movements entirely predictable and never disappointing his loyal supporters.'
The British hopefuls will face serious opposition at the Games in the form of the EU's Merkel and Sarkozy pairing. 'That couple managed to quash all comers in their European outings so far. They certainly got the better of the British team before Christmas when the Clegg-Cameron team drifted hopelessly apart and David found himself embarrassingly alone in deep water.'
But the British pair remain hopeful. After performing their highly-praised Sorry-Mr-Mainwaring, Stupid-Boy routine for the cameras, Cameron and Clegg finished off with a carefully choreographed manouvre in which both pinched their noses and waggled their heads before sinking slowly without trace beneath the waves.

It's orphaned baby animals for the win in the splendid "Born to Be Wild 3D."
As if being cute as heck isn't enough, the young elephants and orangutans in "Wild" are also at the mercy of nature, at least until two elderly women take them in. The documentary tells two parallel stories: Daphne Sheldrick raises elephants in Kenya, and Birute Galdikas rears orangutans in Borneo.
Both women have been at it for decades, taking in little ones whose parents have died or been killed by poachers and then preparing them to re-enter the wild.
That gives "Wild" a handy narrative structure: It begins with both women finding new charges and ends with them letting old friends go. Both women could easily have been the subjects of their own films, but uniting them was a smart idea because their work is so similar and because their stories inform each other, illustrating the idea that orangutans, elephants and human beings have a lot in common when it comes to growing up and leaving their families.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman (of course), "Wild" shifts gracefully between the two locations without ever feeling like it's imposing a story arc on them. It's respectful of the animals and of the work the women do, and it's filled with memorable shots of, for instance, an orangutan blinking skeptically as it is released into the wild and Sheldrick smoothing sunblock on the ears of a baby elephant (in the wild, their moms would shade them).
It's a confident film, so confident that it doesn't have to worry about overstating its own power. At one point, in an elephant "halfway house," Freeman tells us, "What happens next is truly outstanding." A lot of documentaries might follow up with a been-there/done-that nature moment, but darned if "Born to Be Wild 3D" doesn't deliver a moment that is, indeed, outstanding.
Directed by: David Lickley
Rated: G
Should you go? Definitely, and this is one case where the 3D upcharge is worth it. The effects are subtle, but they help pull you into the animals' worlds. *** 1/2

Nice look at the Dow winning streak, via WSJ
click to see Public WSJ page
Mark Hulbert of MarketWatch asks: What are the odds of the Dow being up 24 days of 27?
Over the course of 111 years — 30,000 trading sessions — since the
Dow was created in 1896, Rudi Fahlenbrach, an assistant professor of
finance at Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business,
caclualtes the odds are between one and two times in an 111-year period
– exactly what has happened.

I think this time is different… we are in a permanent high plateau. LOL.
05/20/1926 – 06/17/1926 20 Out Of 23

This is why bears go broke. Me thinks we may have far to roam.
If by "far to roam" you mean "three years".
Any theories on why all the longest streaks occurred during the period between May and August?
Notice how long it took before the next major correction:
8/27: Market rose another 91% to peak in 9/29, then corrected (crashed). Time = 25 months.
5/44: Market rose another 47% to peak in 7/46, then corrected. Time = 26 months.
7/55: Market rose another 12% to peak in 8/57, then corrected. Time = 25 months.
Remind me to get out of the market in June of 2009!
Amazingly no such streak in 1999-2000. In February/March 2000 I listened as my firm's market/technical analyst ruminated on the coming of NASDAQ 10,000. We sold that day. When the market pundits begin speaking similarly you know it's over. Until then, be careful but don't fight the tape.
The economy will tell you if you have "far to go" or not. Continues to sink, you don't. The Big fry will fry the Small fry for supper.

Sell in May and go away doesn't sound like such a hot idea during a mania. Concerning why, maybe the fact that these periods can be lightly traded at times making it much easier to paint the tape.
Great video about fiat currency and the inflationary depression
Bad news the market goes up good news the market takes off…. I can't fight irrationality nor can I fight a fed head who wants to drop cash from a helicopter.

The Market and Economy are two very different animals in a globalized world. The big multi-nationals will do very well which can hold up the market longer than you have money to burn. The trend is your friend until it isn't.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney looks on as Gov. Chris Christie speaks during a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, in December 2011.

Immediately after the news broke that a colossal George Washington Bridge traffic jam was a form of political payback, pundits busied themselves trying to size up how Iowans felt about Republican star Gov. Chris Christie's role in it all.
The new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll has the answer: Fifty-seven percent of Iowa adults disapprove of the way Christie, one of the most-talked-about potential 2016 presidential candidates, has handled the controversy.
Twenty-five percent approve, and 18 percent say they're not sure, according to the Feb. 23-26 poll of 703 Iowa adults. ...

It takes 77-year-old Gettysburg resident Mike Mahalage less than an hour on the bus to get from his downtown home to the Giant supermarket on Natural Springs Road and back.
But if Freedom Transit stops serving the public, he would have to rely on the county's paratransit system to get to the store or the doctor's office.
"I would have to call a day ahead and hope I could get it," he said, riding the bus on the way to the store one day last week. "It's not a day-to-day service. It gets you there but it could take hours to get home."
In a few hours on Freedom Transit's Gettysburg-area bus lines, you'll encounter all kinds, from seniors and students to moms like Alicia Romero, who runs errands with the help of her 2-year-old, Amori.
If bus service stops, she says, she will have to find another way to get Amori to day care.
Freedom Transit, the end result of merged transportation authorities and generous funding efforts, could be discontinued by year's end.
The Gettysburg-area transportation company, unable to pay for itself, needs local funds in order to access almost $1 million in state and federal grants. If the grants go unused, public officials could be responsible for repaying the federal government for transportation money already borrowed and not fully used.
The fixed-route shuttle service from Gettysburg to various commercial centers has become something on which tourists and residents rely, but some are quick to point out the service's less than successful business model.
Even though transit officials say ridership on the fledgling bus service has grown since the program's 2009 inception, local politicians are reluctant to fund a service they believe the majority of their constituents do not use.
A last-minute save would require either a miraculous contribution from a local business or proposed governmental budgets to be torn apart and redrafted.
And as the sun sets on 2013, so do the hopes of being able to ride a bus from downtown Gettysburg to Walmart in 2014.
Dollars and sense
The York Adams Transportation Authority board, which oversees Rabbittransit, voted unanimously Dec. 5 to discontinue Freedom Transit's fixed-route bus service, effective Dec. 30, unless $65,264 is raised by then.
If it is not and the Carlisle Street bus terminal's use falls by the wayside, the York Adams Transportation Authority will have to repay the Federal Transit Administration, according to an administration spokesperson.
Since the FTA footed 80 percent of the cost to build the terminal, the county would have to appraise the facility, with the authority repaying 80 percent of the 0.38-acre property's value to the federal government.
But since the authority lacks the resources to repay the federal government, one or more governmental agencies would have to shoulder the debt, said Rich Farr, executive director of Rabbittransit. He said Adams County could be solely responsible since the previous board of commissioners formed the county's portion of the transit authority.
The Carlisle St. bus terminal is deeded to the Adams County Transit Authority, the area's transportation entity that joined with York County transportation representatives in 2011 to form the York Adams Transportation Authority. Last year, the property was valued at $613,000 by Adams County Tax Services.
Farr said there are some possibilities for the transit center's use beyond Freedom Transit, including the county's paratransit service.
He also indicated the potential for the Adams County Transit Authority to use the bus stop for additional office space. The authority's four-person staff works out of 257 N. 4th St. in Gettysburg. But Farr said without the grant funding, the transit company would not have the resources to support two facilities.
Community support?
So far, Adams County, Cumberland Township and Gettysburg Borough officials have collectively earmarked $18,000 in their tentative 2014 budgets to support Freedom Transit. The county's $12,000 allocation will sustain the transit company's express shuttle between Gettysburg and Harrisburg through June 30.
But the other two municipalities with bus service -- Straban and Mount Joy townships -- have offered nothing.
Straban Township Supervisor Chair Sharon Hamm said her board only ever received one letter from Freedom Transit regarding a monetary request. She said she knows little more than what local media outlets have published about the company's financial dilemma.
Mount Joy Township supervisors took a hard stance against funding public transportation at their Nov. 21 meeting, suggesting Freedom Transit increase its ticket prices to offset operational costs.
But transit officials insist the incremental fare rates are not enough to raise the thousands of dollars needed to sustain the service.
Adams County Commissioner Chair Randy Phiel said he does not want to see the system fail but that it is not economically viable. He said a recent lack of community and municipal support is very concerning.
From a county perspective, Phiel said, Freedom Transit only serves four of Adams County's 34 municipalities
But others see a broader economic benefit.
"The taxpayers' return on investment is through a boost to the local economy that eventually leads to an increase in individual property values," said Gettysburg Borough Councilman Kyle T. Leinbach. "There is an immediate boost to property values as access to public transit is a desirable amenity to potential home buyers, particularly young professionals that are currently lacking from our taxpayer base."
Borough Council President Michael Birkner said while the borough's decision to offer $4,000 to Freedom Transit was not a "slam dunk," it was a good decision.
"It would be a shame to lose the service and a great deal of state and federal grant money because Adams Countians would not pitch in for something that benefits most of us," Birkner said. "The Borough of Gettysburg has done its part. We hope others will also."
The borough's $4,000 contribution to Freedom Transit for 2014 mirrors what council pledged last year. Adams County Commissioners allocated $43,125 for Freedom Transit in the county's 2013 budget.
Meeting a need
Terri Hamrick, president of Survivors Inc., said Freedom Transit shutting down would be devastating to many of the clients at the domestic abuse shelter in Gettysburg.
Hamrick estimates at least half of Survivors' 30 clients rely on Freedom Transit's fixed-route bus service to get around.
And half the clients at South Central Community Action Programs' 48-bed family shelter in Gettysburg use the free bus service, said program coordinator Sharon Dechtel.
"This has been such a wonderful resource and on Dec. 30, we could go back to the way it was," Hamrick said of the bus service's probable shutdown. "This is going to be a loss we'll feel."
The authority board's vote to discontinue service came despite average ridership being at an all-time high, according to Rabbittransit's most recent data.
Freedom Transit averages 12 riders per hour, Farr said, five more than the national average for rural-area public transportation.
But Phiel said claims of ridership exceeding national averages causes the interpretation of such statistics to be questioned by many residents.
Freedom Transit started four years ago as a three-year demonstration project in Adams County. It was implemented by the transportation authority and funded through state and federal grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation's FTA.
Freedom Transit almost faltered in 2011, when its ridership averaged five passengers per hour, Farr said. But contributions and assistance from Gettysburg College, the National Park Service and the park's nonprofit funding arm, the Gettysburg Foundation, helped maintain the services through this year. Gettysburg College has paid Freedom Transit $78,500 to date, said Nikki Rhoads, senior assistant director of communications for the college.
Ridership on the now defunct Blue Line saw a slight decrease over the last year, but the other three lines experienced substantial growth. From 2011 to 2013, the Gray Line's annual ridership grew from 30,760 to 59,380 and the Lincoln Line's ridership went from 23,460 to 50,184, according to Rabbittransit's data that excludes ridership between June 28 and July 7, during Gettysburg's sesquicentennial observation. Farr said 67,000 people rode Freedom Transit during those 10 days.
And ridership has increased among Gettysburg College students, according to Freedom Transit data provided by Rhoads. Four months in fiscal year 2010-11 saw more than 1,000 student riders, with one of those months exceeding 2,000 student riders.
Rhoads said college officials have found Freedom Transit to be very beneficial since it is not cost effective for the college to provide the same service to the college's nearly 2,600 students.
Patti Lawson, associate vice president for government and community relations at the college, said four years ago, a new policy at Gettysburg College prohibited first-year students from having cars on campus. She said the policy increased students' needs for alternative transportation methods.
"The college has supported Freedom Transit in the past," Lawson said. "We would hate to see the shuttle be discontinued. It's important for this community."
Last-minute save?
Municipal leaders, county officials and representatives from various community entities will hold a closed meeting Monday at Gettysburg National Military Park to see what might be done to save transit funding.
Supervisors from Straban and Cumberland townships, councilors from Gettysburg Borough, a county commissioner and department heads from Gettysburg College, the Gettysburg Foundation and the Gettysburg Convention and Visitors Bureau will be at Monday's talk.
"There's so much at stake here," said York Adams Transportation Authority board member Ted Streeter. "Public transportation is hard to introduce, but once it is, people come to depend upon it and then they yank it out from under them. It's just not the right thing to do."

AgfaPhoto shows DV-600uw rugged camera
updated 11:15 am EDT, Mon June 29, 2009
AgfaPhoto rugged camera
AgfaPhoto on Monday unveiled its new 6-megapixel DC-600uw point and shoot camera. The entry is one of the company's few rugged models and is rated to withstand submersion in water up to 33 feet deep. Other than to resistance to water, the DC-600uw can also withstand shock from drops as well as dust and dirt.
The compact is friendly YouTube and similar video hosting sites and produces videos that are scaled for quicker uploads. There is 32MB of internal memory, with half of that dedicated for storage, while an SDHC memory card can hold up to 8GB.Users frame their photos through a 2.4-inch LCD display, and there is a face recognition focusing function. In the name of both economy and durability, though, AgfaPhoto limits the camera to digital zoom while its light sensitivity goes up to ISO 1,600.
Instead of a proprietary battery, the DC-600uw is powered by two included AA batteries. It ships to Europe now in blue for 149 Euros ($209); colors other than blue will become available in July. Plawa is selling the camera in the US for $199 [edit: was $149].

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. -- A 12-year-old Fernandina Beach Middle School student is getting her school involved in an effort to tackle school bullies.
Graceann Sparkman said she's been bullied for as long as she can remember and she recently decided to do something about it. She came up with the idea to hand out anti-bullying wristbands to her classmates.
"(It's) a reminder that 'hey, I'm anti-bullying. I'm going to stand-up for my rights,'"she said.
The seventh-grader is asking everyone to sign an anti-bullying pledge before they can get a wristband.
In just three days, 200 students signed the pledge. Sparkman is out of wristbands, but said students keep signing the pledge.
She would still like to hand out bracelets to those who pledge, as a physical reminder of their commitment, but she needs financial help.
For information on how you can make a donation to support her cause contact Fernandina Beach Middle School.

With an eye on reducing the dangerous problem of illegal passing of school buses, five districts in North Carolina are testing cameras to catch violators in the act.
The pilot program is using a surveillance system that positions three cameras on the outside of the bus. The goal is to cut down on the more than 2,000 illegal passing incidents that school buses in the state experience daily.
When a vehicle passes a bus that has its stop arm activated, the system captures images of the vehicle, its license plate and the driver.
North Carolina state director Derek Graham told SBF that the endeavor is being funded by the Governor's Highway Safety Program and was prompted by legislation passed in 2009 to allow camera and video evidence to be used to prosecute stop-arm violations — and to stiffen penalties for the violations.
The state contracted with Fortress Mobile in Charlotte to provide the surveillance systems for seven school buses in the Carteret, Wake, Iredell, Rowan and Stokes districts.
At the Carteret County Public School System, the cameras have been installed on one bus that will rotate among various routes in the county.
Carteret Transportation Director Lloyd Willis told The Daily News that while the cameras' images can be used in court, the ultimate goal is to prevent the illegal passing.
"We hope the program will increase the safety of school bus transportation by increasing awareness," Graham added. "This is a preventative measure, and we hope to see positive results."

North Carolina, stop arm running/illegal passing, video surveillance
My husband and I dropped my kids off at the back of their school one morning and I was in back of a school bus their was no children getting off the bus. The bus driver was talking to a teacher and the stop sign was not out! I proceeded to pass the bus and an hour later the police shows up to my home! What did I do so wrong!
People run bus stop arms for various reasons. Attorneys for those who injure or kill children during their running a school bus stop arm will try to get their client off on any technicality that they can. Having an actual film of the incident takes all the doubt out of the minds of the judges or juries hearing the case. What is sad is that there are people who do not care enough to stop and wait a minute until the students are safely across the roadway or on board the bus they were walking to.
We have been using stop arm cameras for 2 years. I mount them facing towards the front of the bus so it captures the corner of the stop arm when it is extended. We have a 17 bus fleet and 11 of our busses have stop arm cameras installed. The local law enforcement are happy to help out and we have not been to court one time since we starte using the cameras.
Thanks Jim Roth

The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) welcomes Aer Lingus' confirmation that it will begin flights from Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport later this week.
Aer Lingus has indicated that from this week, it expects to operate a range of proving flights into and out of T2, as it prepares for a full transfer of its scheduled operations into the new terminal from January. During this period, all Aer Lingus departing passengers should present at Terminal 1 as normal, unless advised otherwise by the airline.
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorities have indicated they will transfer operations into Terminal 2 in the New Year. Aer Lingus has informed the DAA that it has realigned its transition plans to reflect this.
Terminal 2, which is officially opening later this week, will welcome its first scheduled airline services from next Tuesday, November 23, as Etihad Airways will begin operating from T2 on that date.
The DAA continues to work with its airline customers, ground handlers and Irish and US state agencies to ensure a smooth ramp up of services from T2.
Terminal 2 will be home to Aer Lingus' entire operation at Dublin Airport, and will also handle flights operated by Etihad Airways and US carriers.

Faye Reagan & Dane Cross
We first see Faye through a door frame. She�s on a bed, and riding a Sybian. She�s a cute redhead, and chats with Dane behind the camera, but has some trouble doing so while she�s on it. She tells him she doesn�t need him any more but he stands in front of her and she sucks his cock while still riding herself to orgasm. She hops off to give him some throating, including some head-over the bed sucking. He gets a good sucking before he cums in her mouth.
Ashden & Laci & Alex Gonz
Ashden and Laci are two blondes both dressed in red. They strip for Alex and show off their asses. They pull down Alex�s pants and go to work on his cock, double sucking and licking him. He lays down for some sucking as well, and then stands up and cums in one girl�s mouth. She shares the cum with the other, spitting it into her mouth.
Audrey Elson & James Deen

West Valley City won't lower fee on Tribune's GRAMA request files
West Valley City • The City Council on Tuesday voted 4-2 to deny a request by The Salt Lake Tribune to waive or lower a charge of nearly $150 for copies of emails related to the Chinese Heritage Gate.
Reporter Cimaron Neugebauer said the emails would benefit the public by shedding light on how donations for the gate were handled. He pointed out that the law encourages a full fee waiver when releasing records will primarily benefit the public rather than an individual, and also argued that the charge of $149.67 was excessive for the work involved in providing the 153 emails.
Assistant City Attorney Brandon Hill countered that finding council emails related to the Chinese Heritage Gate Foundation and the West Valley Sister City Committee required a network administrator to program a detailed query with dozens of filters for a computer search. Then, he said, the deputy city recorder had to sort through the results for emails that fell within the scope of the request.
The charge struck a balance between providing media access to important documents and the public's right to efficient and low-cost government, Hill said.
The Chinese Heritage Gate, at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, symbolizes the friendship between sister cities West Valley City and Nantou, Taiwan. More than $200,000 was raised from donors in Utah and Taiwan in the past decade to build the structure.
Shortly before the gate's Sept. 29 dedication, some donors raised questions about how their donations were handled by Terence "Terry" Chen, the board chairman of the Chinese Heritage Foundation of Utah (CHFU). The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office is investigating claims that the funds were mishandled. In addition, the foundation is under investigation by the state Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, which says the CHFU hasn't filed an application for a charitable-solicitation permit. Chen denies the allegations against him.

PHILADELPHIA—Authorities have charged the grandson of an elderly Philadelphia woman and another man in a home invasion and assault of the 94-year-old victim.
Prosecutors said Monday that 31-year-old Christopher Brunkel and 27-year-old Gregory Drobish were being held in lieu of $1 million each on charges of aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy, burglary, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment.
Police say Drobish's grandmother was punched, bound and robbed Sunday in her Mayfair home, and officers recovered jewelry and the victim's purse when they arrested the suspects.
Lt. Michael Gross said there had apparently been tension over money loaned to the grandson and not repaid.
Listed numbers for the defendants couldn't be found Monday; the Defender Association of Philadelphia couldn't provide information about Brunkel's attorney and it was unclear whether Drobish had an attorney.

Netflix drops 800,000 subs in US, expects bleak fall
updated 05:05 pm EDT, Mon October 24, 2011
Netlfix loses 800K subs over pricing, Qwikster
Netflix faced a tough end of the year after tough results and a more difficult fall. It lost 800,000 subscribers in the US over a combination of its price hikes for those who want to both stream and watch DVDs as well as the flip-flop on Qwikster. It ended up with 23.79 million total US customers, lower than the 24.5 million most market watchers had predicted.
The company's actual revenue and profits were up 49 percent and 63 percent each, to $822 million and $62 million. Most of the better results came from those in Canada and Latin America, which helped it get 1.48 million total viewers outside of the US; most had expected just 1.25 million.
Netflix still predicted a dramatic shortfall in profit. Expressed in earnings per share, it only saw itself getting 36 to 70 cents per share versus the $1.16 it had just made. It also only saw a slight increase of between $841 million to $875 million in revenue where most had expected it to get $923 million.
Company chief Reed Hastings had admitted that the rapid and ill-received changes had "hurt our hard-earned reputation" and based the lessened hopes on an expected increase in the number of those axing their service. He still expected Netflix to be profitable. The company would turn to a loss in early 2012, when it planned to expand to Ireland and the UK, but it would freeze expansion as the focus switched to gaining more customers in existing areas.
The movie provider was confident in the long run as it saw a rapid switch to streaming for many of it users. Under half of those who used streaming also wanted DVD, and only seven percent of new streaming customers were picking DVD. While some of that was due to the price hike, it sat at 21.45 million streaming users versus 13.9 million on DVD, hinting that Internet viewing was now clearly the main format.
In a dig at Starz backing away from the service, it claimed that Starz was just a small six percent piece of actual viewing time and that Netflix had ten times as much content online, leaving Starz out of any direct conflict. Amazon Prime wasn't a threat as it had less content and was mostly shadowing Netflix, and Hulu Plus was focusing on recent TV shows and not the back catalog.
Its current and planned-for subscriber drops may still be comforts to Apple, which has been reclaiming share for iTunes, albeit mostly in the pay-per-show arena. Netflix before the latest results had 64 percent of paid Internet video in the US, according to NPD data, where Apple is estimated to have just a few percent.

I am hoping somebody out there has a suggested fix for my hitch problem. I cannot loosen the "QuickHitch" bolt it must be stripped. I have taken it to the bike shop, an RV dealer who deals with hitches, and sent Yakima an email.......all to no avail. I hate to have to ruin my hitch as a one would cost $200+. So if any of you have experienced a similar problem and/or have a proposed fix please reply.
Thank you.

Dani Sordo hopes MINI can challenge in the 2012 WRC season
Are they doing the full season ?
Yes indeed, Mini will be doing the full 13 events next season. I have no doubts Dani will be a title contender and should get his wins at last. Have to admit WRC seems to be getting more exciting with Mini comeback and now we have VW arrival in 2013.
Fully agree Rob hope it does get better with VW, Mini & hopefully a few more coming on board in years to come, just need to sort out a few more decent drivers rather than those who fill the seats due to large amouts of cash or connections within teams. The situation at Stobart is f**king disgraceful. Wouldn't blame them if they pulled out at any time because the haven't had good value for the cash they've put over the years.
David Richards hasn't confirmed that MINI will be doing the full season next year. But I've heard that they're going to be announcing a major new sponsor within the next week or so which will enable them to do so. I hope they do compete in the full season. It'd be epic to see the MINI on the roads of New Zealand!
Hope to see Mini challenging, will be great for the sportAny news from Ford, I thought today was the big announcement day ?
Wasn't the closing date for Manufacturer entries pushed back until the 22nd? I'm nearly sure I seen that online somewhere
december 12th deadline for championship entry ....mini defiantly doing full season , that was confirmed 18 odd moths ago...i feel ford will withdraw most of there backing , just praying for a full season for jarri...
i just hope with Subaru currently in R&D with the 1.6 that hey come back to WRC as well. As I cant figure out any other reason why they would go down from 2.0 to 1.6
I knew the closing date for Manufacturer entries would be pushed back!FIA World Motorsport Council'...As a consequence, it was also agreed that the registration date for the 2012 FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers be put back to 19 December.'
Its not a Good time for the WRC right now, Mini are finally ready for their 1st season back in the Sport, VW are gearing up for 2013 and CSi (who own North One Sport) just went into Adminstration and at the moment there is no TV for the WRC next year and teams get ready to go to Monte knowing there might be no coverage for the 1st time in decadesJean Todt was due to be handed the file yesterday and will possibly have to personally do some kind of tv deal for 2012 himself, what a nightmare !Also Ford are deciding what to do and this could tip their decision as its all about marketing and as of right now there is NONE ! but yeh Mini could fight for wins next season

Here comes another chapter of Raruto. This one in particular will take you back to the start of it all, all the way to chapter one. Enjoy it!
(I thought of making a mini-rant about how there were two different translations of chapter 1, and leecherboy did his own translation of some panels for the Databook, and for the flashbacks here I've followed rykarreolacr's... but I think this summary is just enough.)
Next chapter will be out on December 2nd!

Service has gotten terrible in Camas / Prune Hill area. Little to no reception. Time to switch to Verizon I guess.Was this review helpful to you?
Have had T-Mobile for years and although service isn't perfect, customer service and pricing is great! $80 bucks a month for two phones with unlimited everything is a pretty great price! Data is a little slow, but the tower refarm should improve that. Most areas in the Portland region already have iPhone 3G coverage. Overall I love tmobile... .. Gets the job done for a low price!Was this review helpful to you?
Service is sporadic and low quality. No cel phone service for Sprint or AT&T.Was this review helpful to you?
We can get up to 3 bars, but it's just a tease because we get NO! reception from our home. We have to drive about a mile down the road to get voice mails or calls on our cell phones.Was this review helpful to you?
Spotty signal, works poorly in structures. Generally an extended network connection, with no native coverage as of 2 / 08. The CDMA signal is on the Oregon side of the river.Was this review helpful to you?
My calls drop all of the time--I can't call someone as I leave my house in downtown Camas, because as I drive out of town, the call will get dropped 95% of the time. Once I hit the Hwy. 14 my calls drop every 2 miles or so. It's a big joke to my family that I have to constantly redial them, but I just find it annoying.Was this review helpful to you?
Have tried 4 different Cingular phones here (Nokia, Motorola) never get more than 1-3 bars and 3 lasts for a few seconds only. phone cuts out most timesWas this review helpful to you?
Cingular sucks. 3 to 5 bars doesn't mean you can call; the network won't let you on or drops you. I was a long time AT&T customer who wanted to have a family plan for 3 phones. Cingular insisted I convert to Cingular. Service was much worse; my wife refused to even consider using the new phones. One of the new phones died; Cingular told me to send it to Motorola for service. We bought a new phone with no discounts from Cingular. We moved from Portland during this process; Cingular was fine sending our old AT&T account bills to our new address, but new Cingular account bills were sent to our old address... .and we didn't get them. A late payment letter arrived Saturday, September 3. We called Tuesday, September 6, and were told to pay for two months service by September 23. We sent a check September 6, our service was cut off September 7. We changed to Verizon. 8 cell phones for 3 people bought in the last 8 months. Amazing.Was this review helpful to you?
Cingular, the poster child for wireless service schizophrenia. While claiming that they are "Raising the Bar" they have been simultaneously dropping most of my mobile calls. I finally dropped Cingular after putting up with dropped connections for far too long. For what other service would I fork over so much money for such colossally awful service?Was this review helpful to you?
I had AT&T for several years with very few dropping of connections and weak signals. I made the sad mistake of switching to Cingular a couple of weeks ago and my phone with Cingular now drops calls repeatedly and has weak signals (Very often there's no signal!) Very frustrating customer service. The same sales employees eager to sign me up with this "great wireless company" have all crawled into their holes and have very little explanation for the poor reception with my new service. Please, please, please stay with AT&T and don't make the same mistake as me! Better yet... switch to another service provider all together. A rotary phone would work better than the current Cingular!Was this review helpful to you?

Got this ring in Labradorite, and it does not disappoint, also have the amethyst...went up to a size 9 as wider ring fit tighter...
Big and light on the finger!
Par TSC regular

Got the pearl one.Sits well on finger. Nice silver work and good pearl shine, but the oxidation cheapens it.I think this oxidation trend is to hide imperfections.I wish they would bring back the real thing again, silver is meant to shine....
Beautiful ring
Par Melodie
de Nanimo BC
Bought the labradorite and loved the stones. Beautiful ring but was a bit too small for the finger I bought it for. No larger sizes available so unfortunately had to return. This is not my first HImalayan Gems purchase and have never been disappointed with quality etc.

The gemstones are extremely nice in all of them however I was quite surprised at the Labradorite, very, very nice.Well done Himalayan Gems.......

Focus and tones are especially good; the black and white is excellent. Your model looks particularly confident. Great eyes!
The angled presentation is unorthodox and perhaps a bit challenging for some viewers, though it appeals to me for its originality.
The curve at the very bottom left (your model's knee??)is a bit intrusive, the sort of thing so easily missed when you look through the viewfinder.
You might also consider cropping off the top, as the pattern of the curtain is distracting in that position; the lower appearance of the pattern however forms a pleasing diagonal via the flower and your model's shoulder to the edge of the frame.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I agree with all Bill has said (the angle isn't for me, but it does make it original and different!).
I think I would carefully crop off the bottom (to remove the knee(?) and empty hand), and I would also crop a little off the top to a)make a square format and b)remove the flower from the top right. It's all down to personal opinion, if you like it then that is the most important thing!

Maeve Parahus walked off the court for the last time with 5:23 to go and Albertus Magnus in control. But before she sat down on the bench, the Falcons' Manhattan-bound star had a few words for her coach, Pat Buckley.
Basically: I apologize.
The 6-foot senior guard is a future D-I player for a reason. Parahus, though, managed to score just six points against Suffern Monday. Yet the Falcons, a Class A final four team three years running, showed that even when she has an off game with the ball in her hands, they have others who can help them win, too. ...

Customer Reviews
March 2015
This was a full day tour that took us to some very spectacular places around Bali. A fantastic introduction to Bali we did this tour on our first full day in Bali. We were privy to beautiful views, rich history and our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting unique cultural experience.
January 2015
The guide and driver did a great job of educating us into the history of Bali as we went around on this tour. The sights were great and very educational.
February 2014
Our tour guide, Ray, was great! He took us to what we wanted to see, and it was really a great day! I appreciated how flexible they were on what we wanted to do. :)
September 2013
I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Kana was exceptional. His knowledge of both Bali and the culture made this a truly memorable experience.
January 2014
This was okay. After doing the other three trips, I'd pretty much seen everything. I did get to see a local instrument-making establishment which was fun.

I'm currently writing a book and I'm on Chapter Seven...almost complete. My goal is to have it done by Christmas. It's sci-fi and it has a very interesting storyline. I can't wait until I'm done with it so I could start sending it to publishing companies.

Tracy, I took a look and left a comment. Nicely done!! Was the book self published?

Rachel if the quality of your rejections are improving, that means the quality of your writing is also improving. I suspect you won't have to wait for 122 more rejections before you hit the jackpot. Good luck, mate.
