"Hard to Swallow: Diagnosis and Treatment of Swallowing Disorders" by Rachel Gold
What happened to that pill that got stuck in your throat yesterday? What happens when your drink goes down the wrong pipe? How many pipes are even in there? What does a giraffe have to do with this? Come try to enjoy a beer and some food while we explore what is happening inside of our throats when we eat and drink, when we lose the ability to effectively swallow, and what we can do about it.
Rachel has been a Speech-Language Pathologist for over 8 years and a nerd her entire life. She currently works at an acute rehabilitation facility helping adults with brain injuries and strokes recover their ability to speak, understand, remember, and swallow.
"(What the hell is) Metagrobology and You: An Interactive Journey through the Past and Future of Puzzles" by Nate Martin
Over the last 2200 years, puzzles have changed both tremendously and almost not at all. Let's take a stroll through the history and evolution of puzzles. The conversation will be peppered with interactive puzzles and challenges so that you can prove to your friends/loved ones how smart you are. We'll also discuss what the next 2200 years might have in store for the world of puzzledom.
After careers in software, poker, and video games, Nate co-founded and became the CEO of Puzzle Break, the first American-based Escape the Room company.
"Of Mad Scientists, Ghost Hearts, and Bio-Hackerspaces" by Patrik D'haeseleer
Last year for Halloween, we decellularized a pig heart. We got a nice bleeding heart, hooked it up to some plumbing, stripped out all its cells with enzymes and detergents, and then bottled the thing in Everclear. Because every mad scientist's den deserves to have a Ghost Heart in a jar! This is what we do for fun; you should see what we're up to when we get serious. Come join the DIY biology revolution at one of your friendly local community labs!
Patrik is a mild-mannered scientist by day, biohacker by night. He is a member of BioCurious and co-founder of Counter Culture Labs in Oakland, where he tinkers with bioprinting, ghost hearts, bioluminescence, real vegan cheese, microbial batteries, urban ecosystem exploration, bio art, and more.

First we took away Brontosaurus (and no, dear readers, it is not back. Yet.), and now we're going to tell you that dinosaurs probably don't even look the way you think they do. That will go over well, we're sure. Then we'll school you on schooling (fishes) and finally give you the buzz on bees! So come enjoy lectures with drinks, music, grilled cheese, librarians, and the company of your fellow nerds. Be(e) there and be(e) square!
"Extreme Dinosaur Makeover" by Brian Engh
Most of the dinosaurs you see in media are highly speculative and their accuracy and realism is often fiercely debated. Using a newly discovered species of dinosaur called Aquilops americanus as an example, I'll take you through the painstaking process of reconstructing dinosaurs as accurately as possible, starting from scrappy bone to a complete life restoration of the animal behaving in its environment.
Brian is an artist, animator, filmmaker and monsterologist. His depictions of prehistoric creatures have been published in scientific papers and blogs, and soon to be in several museum exhibits, an interpretive trail in Moab Utah, and in a book on Australia's ancient inland sea published by the Melbourne Museum.
"Socializing Through a Fisheye Lens" by Ray Engeszer
Social systems and interactions are central to our lives as human beings, and yet they just won't let us perform controlled experiments on people! Not even children! Ridiculous, I know. So I tried to use a small fish as a model system to answer questions about how social groups form.
Ray Engeszer knows quite a bit about schooling beyond fish, having a bachelors in Integrative Biology from U.C. Berkeley and a doctorate in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from U.T. Austin, and is now a high school teacher.
"Sex, Wax, and Pollen: The Honeybee Super-Organism" by Ryan Smith
Why bees are a (hu)man's best friend
Bees are highly industrious dance fanatics who have a knack for mathematics and are obsessed with pleasing their queen. These goddesses of the garden have helped humans for thousands of years to make candles, get drunk, sweeten our lives, and most importantly: put food on our plates. But as global populations of honeybees are declining, we are scrambling to find out the roots of the imbalance. We will fly into the hive to understand the big story of this tiny bug and how we can keep the sweetness flowing. Come find out what honeybees mean when they dance and what the world looks like in bee-vision!
Dr. Ryan Smith is a laser physicist, musician, seasoned beekeeper, and physics professor at Cal State East Bay. While his bee-keeping interests began in the Southeastern U.S., he is now an advocate on the sweet west coast.

$8, all ages
Tickets available here!
Things you should learn about: The word "pancreas" means "sweetbread." (Ick.) Dockworkers should not be fucked with. (Fact.) You have tiny arachnids crawling all over your face right. this. very. second. (Noooooooooooo!) More intrigued than alarmed? (And even if you're not.) Come to the place where the drinks and the music and the learned people–not to mention the grilled cheese and the librarians!–make diabetes, global maritime trade, and face mites intriguing AND alarming in equal measure. Be there and be square!
"Sweet Nothings from Deep in Your Tummy: A Tale of the Pancreas and Diabetes" by Tommy Hennings
"Diabetes mellitus" literally means sweet, excess urine. Besides requiring a very, ahem, intimate patient-doctor relationship, diabetes has one underlying trait in all of its types: the dysfunction of a certain type of cells within the pancreas. But wait a minute–what is the pancreas, anyway? Come learn about how this organ that looks like a corn cob micromanages blood sugar, why it ends up dropping the ball, and the big changes brewing in diabetes research and treatment.
Tommy is a PhD student at UCSF researching pancreatic beta-cell development and dysfunction, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 8.5 years.
"Two Billion iPhones Crossing the Ocean" by Daniel Chin
Nearly all our gadgets and toys come to us from massive factories overseas–everything from the clothes we wear to the cars we drive and the phones we use to navigate the world. But how many of us know the incredible journey that our clothes and cars and phones take before they get to our homes? A professional seafarer and marine engineer will share the fascinating story of modern global maritime trade and the people who bring us "90 percent of everything" created around the world. We will also see what happens when this normally smooth-running machine of global commerce is stymied by technological failures, labor disputes, and pirates!
"Meet Your Face Mites: A Story of Discovery, Evolution, and Intrigue" by Michelle Trautwein
Right now, deep in your pores, eight-legged creatures are happily making your face their home. Our face mites are perhaps our closest companions, yet we know very little about them. But as we learn more, our mites may offer us a glimpse into our own evolutionary past. What do they look like? Where did they come from? Are you sure that I have them? Come get the answers to all your face mite questions!
Michelle is an entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences and focuses on the Earth's most lovable creatures: flies and face mites.

"Odin in Drag: Gender Performance in the Viking Age" by Molly A. Jacobs
Everyone knows the story about Loki giving birth to a horse, right? But did you know that gender-bending behavior really wasn't that unusual among the Norse gods? The mythology and literature of medieval Scandinavia are full of stories of gods and people cross-dressing, shape-shifting, and playing creatively with concepts of gender, from shield maidens to Odin himself. Come learn what Vikings thought about gender, whether half of all Viking warriors really were women, and what happened when Christianity arrived.
Molly has a PhD in Scandinavian and Medieval Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, where she currently teaches courses on Vikings, writing, and medieval literature.
"Can People Really Cause Earthquakes?" by Justin Rubinstein
In 2014, Oklahoma experienced more magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes than California. Many people believe that hydraulic fracturing is to blame. But can we really cause big enough changes in the earth to trigger earthquakes? The short answer is yes. In fact, humans have been inducing earthquakes for well over a century!
We'll explore how human activities can cause earthquakes and try to answer some important questions. Do we need to worry about these earthquakes? How big can they get? Now that hydraulic fracturing is coming to California, do we need to be worried?
Justin is a seismologist with the US Geological Survey. Studying earthquakes has taken Justin all across the world, but these days he finds himself in glamorous locations like Kansas and Oklahoma.
"Science Fiction's Body Shop: designing robots, prosthetics, and tissues" by Terry D. Johnson
Nature has a lot to tell us about how bodies – and the parts they're made of – ought to work. If you want to design a robot, prosthetic, or implant, you'll find solutions to many of your problems courtesy of evolution. We'll see how new technologies in repair and replacement are inspiring science fictions – or making them less fictional.
Terry is currently teaching bioengineering at UC Berkeley. He is also (with Kyle Kurpinski) co-author of the popular science book How to Defeat Your Own Clone (and other tips for surviving the biotech revolution).

What's way up in the sky, way down deep in the ocean, and standing right here? We're everywhere and we're square! Wait, is that right? Anyway, come to the Rickshaw and follow through on your resolution to get taught (no, not taut!) while getting tipsy. A space architect, an underwater archaeologist, a technical writer with a fake butt fixation, a DJ, some bartenders, SFPL's finest, and a grilled cheese scientist will lead the way. Happy new year, indeed!
"Reinventing the Satellite" by Ben Haldeman
Picture the largest ever fleet of imaging satellites, designed from the ground up as an agile response to space access. Now picture the pictures these satellites provide: fresh daily images of the Earth to help transform the science and markets that rely on observational data. How did a company go from a garage in Cupertino (natch) to sending a flock of Doves up to the skies in only 2 years? By taking advantage of improvements in miniaturization, off-the-shelf components, and agile practices in manufacturing, design and deployment. The way we design for space is changing.
Ben is a lead design architect at Planet Labs. He's also worked on Mars rover instrumentation and for the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network.
"I Can Ex-Plane! Underwater Archaeology of WWII Aircraft" by Sam Bell
We tend to think of archaeologists as digging in the dirt, but vast amounts of cultural material lies beneath the waves. Dive deep into the study of underwater WWII aircraft in Saipan (located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands) and find out what archaeology can teach us about these sites.
Sam has a Masters of Maritime Archaeology from Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia, and now works at Chabot Space and Science Center. She is passionate about teaching history and science to youth.
"The Illusion of Perfection: Fake Boobs, Fake Butts and Our Unending Struggle with Human Inadequacy" by Laura Rubin
(NOTE: This is a placeholder description written by your humble organizers. The actual talk may deviate somewhat from this.)
For centuries, fashion has been used to alter the appearance our proportions. Through a bewildering array of pads, scaffolds, bindings, or props we've wanted to make our butts and boobs look bigger or smaller, as dictated by the times. In this talk we'll explore some fashion history, and our inability to be content with our "natural" selves.
Laura Rubin is a technical writer by trade, but is fascinated by the history of textiles and fashion, and is an Odd Salon fellow.

Sham science inspiring real inquiry, really weird science so hard to measure it seems fake, and an only-in-California tale of one of the most famous taxidermy victims to grace a flagpole. Just a typical month of nerdery around here! Come get your think on AND your drink on. Vinyl grooves will be explored. Grilled cheese will be inhaled. Librarians will be consulted. Be there and be square!
"Big Brains in the Deep Blue Sea" by Drew Halley
Between the devil and the Deep Blue Sea you'll find: hyperintelligent super-sharks, Renny Harlin, bioethical disaster, a cure for Alzheimer's, Stellan Skarsgård slumming it, and a heckuva lot of pseudoscientific blather. An anthropologist takes a late-'90s B-movie as the perfect diving-off point for a discussion of shark neuroanatomy, allometric scaling in brain evolution, interspecies cognition, and, of course, what any aspiring genetic engineer might need to before setting up their own offshore experimental lab. Thank you, Hollywood!
Drew is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at UC Berkeley, researching evolutionary alterations to embryonic brain development across a variety of primate species. He is also a collaborator in a multi-year investigation of shark films.
"Ernie and Bert at the South Pole" by Dr. Anna Franckowiak
Neutrinos are weird subatomic particles. Sixty billion of them pass unnoticed through your thumbnail every second! They can travel without being absorbed or deflected, escaping from dense environments around black holes or the heart of a star and thus carrying unique information about the most violent processes in the universe. But they're really hard to detect. So a cubic kilometer of ice at the South Pole was instrumented to measure traces of their rare interactions. And lo, Ernie and Bert—-two very high-energy neutrinos—-were detected. Grab your rubber duckie and come learn about the beginning of high-energy neutrino astronomy!
Anna spent some time at the IceCube while getting her PhD in neutrino astronomy. Now she's a postdoc at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
"Monarch the Bear: A Tale of Tycoons, Taxidermy, and the California Flag" by Kelly Jensen
You know the bear on the California flag, right? That's Monarch. Captured at the behest of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, Monarch was the last California grizzly in captivity before they went extinct. That's just the beginning. The rest of the story involves bear-hunting journalists, kangaroos and druids in Golden Gate Park, a Victorian amusement park in the heart of The Mission, and LOTS of bad taxidermy.
Kelly Jensen is a nerd-about-town. She is the photographer/co-author of Photojojo!: Insanely Great Photo Projects and DIY Ideas, a fellow of Odd Salon, and a librarian/archivist at the California Academy of Sciences. Never lend her the keys to your walk-in taxidermy freezer.

The UNKNOWN. We haz it. No, not the fear of the UNKNOWN – we are not afraid of it. We embrace it. We make the UNKNOWN, or at least the unfamiliar, known. (Wait, doesn't that word look really weird now?) For now, our third talk is, yes, UNKNOWN. But we know that that UNKNOWN will soon be known. As to what we do know: We know that we're going to drink some known intoxicants; nod our heads to some known, but mostly UNKNOWN, vinyl recordings; eat some comfortingly well known grilled cheese; and get to know about the metabolism of cancer and how to get all WET with a marine mammal disentanglement expert. Be there and be square!
UPDATE: Our third talk is now KNOWN! Woody LaBounty will regale us with strange and wonderful tales of the 1894 Midwinter Fair!
"Metabolism and Cancer: You Aren't What You Eat" by Roman Camarda
We've all heard it before: "You are what you eat!" But it turns out that, in cancer, this isn't really true. Research over the past century has shown that cancer has a different metabolism than the rest of our body. This altered metabolic state is a hallmark of the disease, and allows it to take advantage of nutrients meant for good (like those in pizza and ice cream). Luckily for us, this altered state may be the Achilles heel of cancer! The question is: How do we selectively disrupt the metabolism of this devious disease while leaving the rest of our bodies free to enjoy the pizza and ice cream?
Roman is a PhD student at UCSF. His dissertation research is on altered metabolism in breast cancer.
"Whale Disentanglement: You Don't Need a Bigger Boat" by Kathi Koontz
Rescuing a 40-ton sea monster entangled in fishing gear is dangerous, difficult work. An errant fin can stun or even kill a person and a collision can capsize a boat. The rough waters and sheer vastness of the ocean are daunting. But there is a rescue team up to the challenge: WET, the Whale Entanglement Team. Why do whales get caught? What can be done to prevent it? And how exactly does WET save whales, one at a time?
Kathi Koontz is a primary responder with WET (under the auspices of NOAA Fisheries), a supervisor for the Marine Mammal Center's special rescue operation team, a co-investigator with Marine Life Studies, and a project manager at the California Academy of Sciences. She has participated in numerous marine mammal rescue operations.
"Man-Eating Lions and Stucco Igloos: The Weird Midwinter Fair of 1894" by Woody LaBounty
The California Midwinter International Exposition, better known as the Midwinter Fair, drew over two million visitors to Golden Gate Park from January to June 1894. Originally billed as the "Commercial World's Fair," the five-month production featured fairytale architecture, deadly animal acts, dark rides, and exhibits of foreign culture that included a Cairo Street, a Chinese Theatre, and an Eskimo village (with stucco igloos). Strange, comically ethnocentric, and boosterish to modern sensibilities, the fair helped pull San Francisco out of an economic depression and acted as the progenitor of today's Music Concourse, de Young Museum, and Japanese Tea Garden.
Woody LaBounty is the founder of the Western Neighborhoods Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the history of western San Francisco (outsidelands.org). He is the author of "Ingleside Terraces: San Francisco Racetrack to Residence Park" and "Carville-by-the-Sea: San Francisco's Streetcar Suburb," and is recognized as the leading authority on the city's western neighborhoods.

For all the meteorological, celestial, and sporting delights this San Francisco October has offered, there is nothing more delightful than an autumnal Nerd Nite at the Rickshaw Stop! It's getting dark out there, so come early, gulp an intoxicating beverage, let Alpha Bravo's vinyl vibrate your eardrums, and hear tell of: What happens when philosophers and biologists think about zombies, the forefront of mathematical knowledge, and Walt Disney and the rocket scientist. Be there and be square!
"Life, Death, and Undeath: Philosophical Notes" by Diego Nieto and Manuel Vargas
Everyone is familiar with the undead (cue zombie moaning and shambling). But what makes something undead as opposed to alive or simply dead? Philosophers have puzzled over this question and what (if anything) undeath suggests about our categories of life and death. If the philosophers are right–that lots of things are indeed quasi-living–contemporary biology suggests that the undead are extraordinarily common. It turns out that life and death aren't binary conditions but complicated "cluster" states that can be had in greater and lesser degrees. Not so scary after all, huh, George Romero?
Diego is a research entomologist at UC Santa Cruz. Manuel is a professor of philosophy and law at the University of San Francisco.
"Can You Hear the Shape of a Drum?" by Otis Chodosh
With a BANG, a math scholar will take you to the forefront of mathematical knowledge, focusing on the hard-hitting questions: Just what is the forefront of mathematical knowledge? Does anyone care? Can you hear the shape of a drum? How will any of this help fight cancer?
Otis is a PhD candidate at Stanford. In his research life, he likes to think about where to put up a fence if you live near a black hole. In his private life, he tries to avoid both fences and black holes. He can't play the drums.
"Climbing Space Mountain: Walt Disney and the Space Race" by Lauren Marie Taylor and Eric Toldi
After WWII, all the engineers left alive in Germany (if you catch our drift) were divided between the US and the USSR, and obviously we got most of them because, well, post-WWII Soviet Union wasn't exactly Malibu. Wernher von Braun–the engineer behind the V-2 rocket–was the most important of them all. But don't take our word for it: NASA calls him "without doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in history." Walt Disney thought he was pretty special too, and these two visionaries teamed up to create a TV show about man in space, aptly titled "Man in Space." Its imagery and utopic philosophy remain embedded in the American imagination.
Lauren is a conceptual artist and Director of Educator Associates at the AIAA, San Francisco. She was the first artist in residence at Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory. Eric is a space historian and vice-chair of AIAA San Francisco. He is working on several space history books.

Dividend Stocks in the news
There was some negative dividend news from S&P that there were 138 dividend cuts or suspensions in the third quarter while 346 issues increased their payments to shareholders. Most of the dividend cuts were in the financial sector. Standard and poors reported the following:
"It was the worst September for dividends since we started keeping dividend records in 1956," says Howard Silverblatt, Senior Index Analyst at Standard & Poor's. "During the second quarter, companies were nervous and cautious. The third quarter, however, saw many companies deciding to take action, and that action took $22.5 billion out of the pockets of investors."
There were some bright spots however as the number of dividend increases were almost three times the number of dividend cuts or omissions.
Last week there were several companies which declared increases in their dividend payments to shareholders.
CLARCOR Inc. (CLC) Board of Directors declared an increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.08 per share to $0.09 per share. This increase raises the annual rate from $0.32 per share to $0.36 per share, a 12.5% increase and the 25th consecutive annual increase. The stock currently yields about 1%.
DENTSPLY International Inc. (XRAY) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock, an indicated annual rate of $0.20 per share. This represents approximately an eleven percent (11%) increase in the existing dividend. This dividend achiever currently yields about 0.50%.
Northwest Natural Gas Company (NWN) has increased the quarterly dividend on the company's common stock by 5.3% to 39.5 cents per share. This marked the 53rd consecutive year of dividend increases. NWN is a dividend champion that yields about 3% right now and trades at less than 20 times earnings. I plan on researching this stock further.
Speedway Motorsports (TRK) has increased the annual dividend on the company's common stock by a little over 1% to 34 cents per share. This is the seventh consecutive year that Speedway Motorsports has increased cash dividends to its stockholders. The stock currently yields 1.80%.
MFA Mortgage Investments, Inc. (MFA) announced a 10% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2008. Despite the fact that this stock has paid dividends for over ten years, the quarterly payments are pretty volatile from month to month. MFA's primary focus is high quality, higher coupon hybrid and adjustable-rate MBS assets. At June 30, 2008, approximately 99% of MFA's assets consisted of MBS issued or guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government or a federally chartered corporation, other MBS rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Corporation, MBS-related receivables and cash. The stock currently yields over 15%.
I have found that screening the dividend news could provide you with some gems for further research. One such gem could be NWN. Furthermore with so many negative news concerning the stock market and dividend cuts in the financial sector it pays to know that there actually are companies which are confident enough in their ability to generate stable revenues and earnings which would support dividend increases.

Do you think there is a time that one should leave the market.. the members of Myinvestorsplace.com ... have asked that question... but we are confused...the vix is at the highest level ever.. which is a contrarian indicator... and yet others think we should leave the market... what do you suggest...ReplyDelete
If I had more cash on hand I would have bought more stock. I think that it is a bad time to be selling right now since I am a long term investor. I doubt that I will be needing the cash for several decades to come.ReplyDelete

Looks like you can add BAC to the list! I agree, if I only had more cash.ReplyDelete
I guess my conservative screening approach to avoid ordinary stocks with a DPR over 50% has kept me out of some financials like BAC ( interestingly enough USB as well)ReplyDelete
Yet I own some dogs like GCI.

Hi all,
I am a FTM & had been for my routine visit to the Doc & was told that I had failed all the 3 glucose tests. I have been refered to a Dietitian , have an appt for tommorow. Also my OB gyn mentioned that I wud have to prick myself 4 times a day to check my blood sugar level & probably be put on insulin. I am already having a tough time dealing with Round ligament problems. I have this nerve pulling & find it very difficult to get out of bed in the mornings, which makes it worse , so much so that I have to drag my feet to walk to the restroom. As if coping with all this wasn't enuff now I'm told I have GD . I am feeling soo low.Also I am looking fw to having a Vaginal Birth & now being told that my baby is big & if things don't go as desired I might have to go in for a C-section is freaking me out.
I have no family around & hardly any friends.
I am hoping to get thru this, I know its not that big a deal, just might take some time to sink in.
I guess is the fear of the unknown thats freaking me out!
Just found this group & hoping I get some details on GD & how bad is it? also does it mean that I will need to inject myself with insulin ? coz I am scared of injection & the thot of injecting myself is scary , not sure if I have the courage to do that :-/

Long before I had children of my own I used to marvel at how mothers could wear their children's tacky painted maccaroni necklaces into work. Certainly it wasn't professional. It wasn't even color coordinated to their outfit. With peeling paint and big fuzzy yarn they were just plain ugly.
I never understood how otherwise nicely dressed professional young mothers could do it... until I had children of my own.
Earlier this week my daughter placed a bracelett on my wrist as I was getting dressed. It wasn't so much a bracelett as a popped balloon tied in a knot and slipped around my wrist. We were in a hurry so I promised her I would wear it all day and off we went to the sitter so I could get to work.
After I dropped them off and headed into the office I glanced down at my wrist. I smiled thinking about how serious she was that I wear it all day long. But I knew it wouldn't happen that way. It wasn't practical, and I had a lot of work to do. I was going to take it off as soon as I sat at my desk.I wasn't there too long before the terrible day started. My entire staff was laid off. Every one. Each with years of experience and dedication to our organization, let go over the span of a day.I glanced at the bracelett again, which I had yet to take off. I'm so glad I still have a job for my family I thought as I looked at my daughter's bracelett.Later in the afternoon more depressing news. A woman I only vaguely knew but knew well enough to know that she had three young boys called up and told me that her husband had been in the hospital since mid-July with lukemia.I glanced again at the purple rubber bracelett. I am so blessed that my family is healthy.For the rest of the day as news only grew bleaker, I kept glancing at the bracelett. The silly, broken rubber balloon was a constant reminder of the blessings I had at home.In the end it's not about the appearance of the necklace, bracelett, or whatever it is your child brings home from school at the end of the day. It's not even the effort that you know they put into it, making it especially for you. It's the reminder, the constant reminder that we have so much and are so blessed to have them in our lives.So wear your peeled paint maccaroni and yarn necklaces with pride, moms & dads. And remember each and every moment how precious life is.

Instant Fiverr Goldrush Review
As promised I have gone over Instant Fiverr Goldrush and I will go into the review. However, before I do I would like to say that although I usually review products that I find useful, once and awhile there comes a product, service, or report that I either have mixed feelings about or dislike. That being said on with the review.
Instant Fiverr Goldrush is 9.97 and you really get what you pay for. What I mean by that is that the report contains some good tips, but I would hardly call it a Goldrush. I guess the flashy name helps to sell the product. I by no means mean to say the product is bad, it is not, however some of the tips it gives you are very elementary.
The report is good to the complete newbie who wants to make money on Fiverr and hasn't a clue how to do it.
It starts with the basic information of signing up, getting a PayPal account, etc. It then gives you 20 tips on how to make money on Fiverr; my guess is if you look at what others are doing on Fiverr you can figure it out.
A couple extra things about the report include a list of free resources where you can advertise your Fiverr gig as well as other sites like Fiverr. This is great information if you are not getting any response to your gig on Fiverr. If you are having that kind of trouble and do not know how to get people to your Fiverr gig to get enough sales you may like the guide.
Instant Fiverr Goldrush is a definite newbie report and while there is nothing wrong with it, and could help those who are new online, I did not find anything spectacular in it.
So there you go my honest review…if anyone has differing opinions on it I would love to hear them….but if I offended anyone….be nice:)
Fiverr Review
If you have not already heard or used Fiverr it is a great site to take a look at. Fiverr is basically a place where people put what they call a "gig" up on what they will do for you for 5 dollars. The gigs range from fun and bizarre to helping people with social media, sites, etc. There are two reasons to take a look at Fiverr, which I have had personal experience with.
First is obvious, if you want to make money online Fiverr is an easy way to do it. Everyone is good at something, and when you look at all the different gigs on Fiverr it will soon come clear to you that you can do many things for others. Why not get paid for them?
Second, Fiverr is great for outsourcing. If you want a logo made, more promotion for your site, or many other tasks you may need done, you may be able to find them on Fiverr. There is a great person on there now that is creating some wonderful logos for just 5 dollars.
In regards to making money on Fiverr there is a guide out there called Instant Fiverr Goldrush that sells for 9.97 . However, don't buy it yet if you're interested I will be doing a full review on it tomorrow or over the weekend so you can know if it is something for you.
In regards to using Fiverr for task you may need done here are three tips I have learned. First, search for what you want and then sort by rating. Second, take the feedback seriously, if it is not good, don't go for it. Finally, I always contact the seller first; I find some reason to initiate conversation. If they do not reply within 48 hours I do not use them.
There is also a guide called Fiverr Outsource Secrets that sells for 27.00. As before, don't buy it yet because I will also be doing a review on it.
In both reviews, I will cover what each manual actually has in it, not the sales page stuff, I actually have both. To visit Fiverr and see what it has to offer just go here.
Have any of you used Fiverr and if so what were your results?

Dancing with Velvet Elvis you inevitably look cool. It's a good looking book to be reading on the train. The cover is cool. The typography is cool. And many of the things that Rob Bell has to say are also cool. Some of them are not cool. Really not cool. I plan to write several posts interacting with this very popular book. I want to be positive about it's strengths but also robust in some of the areas where I think he's made some bad false steps.
Bell is in with the cool kids from the start because he wants to buddy up to Martin Luther. Luther rocks - theologians who love the Bible and love beer are worth hanging around with. We're warned against thinking that our living of Christianity can be set in stone. That's a good point. We shouldn't say we've got it all figured out, we inevitably have errors in our beliefs and our behaviour. Reformation is necessary. Freezing the faith is not clever.
However, Bell seems to think that the point of reforming is to be reforming. Rather than that we reform to get back to what the Bible says - which was Luther's point. He wisely notes that "If it's true, then it isn't new" but you get the feeling he doesn't entirely believe that. The issue here is that God has sort of frozen things. He has spoken definitively and finally. He's still speaking everything in the Bible but the book is sealed (which isn't to say no prophecy today). What there is to know about God is out there - or rather in there (in the Bible). We may not have a definitive grasp of it, but for God to press pause is fine. It would be arrogant for me to claim to write the definitive Systematic Theology but it is not arrogant for God to draw a line under authoritative revelation and say 'that's all you're getting'.
From the painting of Velvet Elvis in the introduction we move to the Trampoline in chapter 1 'JUMP'. Bell like verbal illustrations though he plays fast and loose with the imagery. His writing is very accessible though actually kinda confusing. In what I think is probably one of the core underlying fallacies of Velvet Elvis we get the classic false divide between God and what God has revealed about himself (Doctrine). He says doctrines aren't the point. On some levels they aren't, but on many others they are, they really are. He repeats himself - the springs (doctrines, on the trampoline) aren't God. That's true - but they are God's self-revelation of himself and so they describe who God is as far as we're allowed to know.
We're then asked to consider if a spring can be seriously questioned. Something like the virgin birth or the trinity for example. Could you have a real Christian without one of those things. Bell wants to be clear that he believes both things but then asks: "If the whole faith falls apart when we reexamine and rethink one spring then it wasn't that strong in the first place, was it?" Listen to Bruce Ware "The doctrine of the Trinity is both central and necessary for the Christian faith to be what it is. Remove the Trinity, and the whole Christian faith disintegrates." (Father, Son & Holy Spirit - p. 16) If we take the Trinity and throw it out, and then Christianity falls apart that doesn't mean that the doctrine or Christianity wasn't that strong. It means that the spring you threw away was really, really, really important.
Flip the image. Not trampolines, but walls - brickianity (which is a clever word). Brickianity has rigid doctrines and so, he says, it's bad. It excludes. And that's true if you want to hold doctrines firmly (as the Bible tells us to) then you will exclude people. But, doctrine is also always inclusive - of those who believe it! You get the feeling with Rob Bell that really he's writing against some theologically constipated people who've never learned to enjoy God, but that in the process he's throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
He wants freedom ask questions. I agree. We should be able to ask any question. Doctrines can take very serious examining. If they can't stand up to careful scrutinising of the Bible then they need changing. But he goes a bit too far "Central to the Christian experience is the art of questioning God" - not quite central, but it's ok to ask humble questions. We ask questions to find answers - and in many case (granted, not all) God has answers for us.
We're warned against mere intellectual faith, and that is a helpful warning, though I have to say I don't see much of that in reality. Feels a bit like he's writing to a straw-man. Bell warns against doctrinal dryness but doesn't seems to have the counter-balance of warning against vacuous anti-doctrinalism. We should, as Bell wants, have a faith of joy and wonder. Studying God's word is meant to be transforming and grow our love of God. Interestingly Bell gives a blanket endorsement of everything John Piper has written - yet you can't help feeling that at least some of Piper's recent Athanasius biography is written as a response to the anti-doctrine undercurrent in the first 36 pages of Velvet Elvis.... "Loving Christ includes loving true propositions about Christ... Athanasius would have abominated, with tears, the contemporary call for "depropositionalizing" that you hear among many of the so-called reformists and the emerging church. Our young people in Alexandria die for the truth of propositions about Christ. What do your young people die for?"
Rob Bell's goal for us to amazed that we get to live this life and enjoying God more is one I agree with wholeheartedly. What saddens me is that his approach seems more likely to confuse than bring clarity. Velvet Elvis is thought-provoking for discerning readers, but I don't think I'd want to recommend it to anyone I was discipling. There are better books on living life. There are better books on enjoying God. Books that don't looks so cool, but books that will lead God's people to love God and his word more deeply.
Please note this 'review' is only of the introduction and first chapter. Forthcoming posts will converse with the rest of the book.

Shorted 1000 shares at 26.99 , watch this puppy fall 5-10% in the next 24-48 hours. Quick little profit.
Nice short, be careful, I wouldn't hold this position over night... Shorting Isis once this year selling covered calls, cost me A couple bucks. Won't be doing that again.
Hey Dark, LOVE your advice, always do the opposite.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Cover, idiot!
Shorted another 500 @ 27.29
Sentiment: Strong Sell
How is that fake short working for you, loser?
Good call there. My short filled at a lower price I'm sad to say.
This is only Phase II data, correct?
Right---Let's be careful out there.
only 11 patients.... this data means nothing, once they move to Phase IIb / III they could find liver tox... and the whole program will be dead
Sentiment: Sell

Clay County Head Start will conduct an enrollment opportunity for children ages 0-5, at the Brazil Resource Center, 800 W. Jackson St., Brazil, June 14, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
There are four types of Head Start programs offered -- at centers and in homes -- depending on the age and needs of families and their children.
In the half-day center-based programs, classes meet four half-days per week for three-and-a-half hours each day. There are three half-day center base programs in Brazil.
The full-day full-year program is in session from 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The program services children ages 3-5 and is located in Brazil. There is a $45 charge per week for the program and CASY assistance is accepted.
There are two home-based programs. One is for children ages 3-5 and the Early Head Start program is for prenatal mothers and children from birth to 3-years-old. In both programs, the home visitor will make weekly home visits to homes and arrange two socialization opportunities each month.
Parents interested in attending the enrollment session should bring proof of income with them, in addition to their 2011 W-2 or a recent paycheck stub. If a family receives T.A.N.F., parents should bring their award letter with them as well.
Head Start is a federally funded, income-based program that recognizes parents as the child's most important teachers. Education, health services, social services and parent involvement are the major components of Head Start programming.
A Healthy Families program, which provides support services for prenatal mothers, is also offered.
For further information, call Tina French or Heather Squires at 446-1103 Ext. 626 or Ext. 628.

Americans may not know three languages, but hey, we're the most advanced groomers of the nine nationalities in the survey—in fact, 16 percent of U.S. men use five or more products a day. And there's still room for improvement! Two tasks men overlook (maybe even you, Mr. Ten Products a Day), according to Manhattan-based dermatologist Neal Schultz: moisturizing and exfoliating. He suggests smoothing on a glycolic lotion for a quick double punch to brush away the dead skin cells and leave the remaining ones hydrated. If you're intent on scrubbing away the dirt, apply light pressure as you move your hand in a circular motion using a nonabrasive cotton cloth. Roughing up your skin will only irritate it.

Anyone Using a D800 with an Ipad?
Thinking of getting an Ipad Air, mostly for email, apps, and surfing the web. But I would also like to connect it to my D800 using an Eye-Fi card. A couple of questions,
How much memory on the Ipad, 16, 32, 64 GB? I don't plan to store or process raw photos on the Ipad, just use it to view photos after taking and before post.
Does the Eye-Fi card work as advertised with the D800?

Long lasting fresh breath
Posted by 4965433027879144847 on Feb 10, 2016
This product is cheaper than the usual boring mouthwash in my local supermarkets. Its made up entirely of natural essential oils and herbal extracts. It left a long lasting fresh breath and I recommend it to everyone. Its very spicy though!

Goooood very good
Best home-use mouth wash
Posted by joeyckn on Dec 07, 2015
I used to use Listerine. Then after coming across this mouthwash by Nature's Answer, I cannot switch back. It does not have the strange and unpleasant after taste of Listerine and it is not as astringent. Plus its natural! I love the coolmint flavour.
Great taste
Posted by 5616237515851750668 on Oct 30, 2015
Super minty and long lasting

NEWS (4/27): Georgia has executed Daniel Lucas. He was the 5th prisoner executed by Georgia in 2016 and the 13th in the United States this year. Georgia's 7 executions in the past 12 months are the most the state has conducted in any one-year period since the United States upheld the state's death sentencing statute in 1976. See Executions.
NEWS (4/20): Both houses of the Virginia state legislature have voted to accept Gov. Terry McAuliffe's amendment to HB815 permitting the Virginia Department of Corrections to specially contract with a compounding pharmacy to produce lethal injection drugs and make the identity of the pharmacy a state secret. The Governor substituted his secrecy proposal in place of the legislature's plan to use the electric chair to execute prisoners if lethal injection drugs were deemed unavailable. See Recent Legislative Activity.
NEWS (4/19): Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has signed into law a bill that would permit the state Department of Corrections to store lethal injection drugs on-site in advance of an execution. The law seeks to redress problems Oklahoma had with the last two scheduled executions in which an anonymous pharmacy supplied the state with the wrong execution drug. See Recent Legislative Activity.

A+ in my book!

The rails look great on my 2011 Silverado. They were easy to install in under 30 minutes and give the truck a great look.

Very easy to install. Do not over tighten because the plates will bend.
Install Time: Instant
Easy to install and they look nice.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Was a little skeptical because they were cheaper priced than what I had seen other places. Went ahead and ordered them, the shipping was fast, and free, the pieces were a good quality product, all installation hardware was there and packaged nicely. They installed in a matter of minutes, and look way better than the old ones.

I love the rails. The black goes great with my truck. Great product.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
The rails arrived on time and were well packaged. They fit perfectly and look good on the truck. I only gave 4 stars for quality because both plates at the end of one rail were bent and I had to straighten them before installing the rail. I would recommend this rail to anyone who is interested in adding rails to their truck.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
Auto Accessories Garage is tops, their stuff is nice. I was so happy when I got my Bed Rails.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
While the length and look of the bed rails are excellent, the mounting plate-style "nuts" are ridiculous. Not only are they hard to get in place, they cause the bed rails to move side to side so they don't stay centered. I kept working it repeatedly to make it finally fit. Regular lock-nuts with large washers or the right size flat bar to fit the holes, all stainless steel, would be easier to control in the tight spaces for mounting the rails.
