Coyote Strategies is our political communications division. We found that when we applied our philosophy, knowledge and experience of general marketing to a political campaign, good things happened. We won a lot.
But as we've broadened our experience in political campaigns, we realized that just applying a general knowledge of marketing to the situation wasn't enough. So we created Coyote Strategies to incorporate additional disciplines such as voter targeting and profiling for both the general market and especially the Hispanic Market. We've also created several strategic alliances with various political consultants to provide the optimal mix of information and services for a candidate.

Celebrity Cruises' hotly anticipated Celebrity Solstice had some minor hiccups during sea trials earlier this week -- so it's back to the dry dock for the 2,850-passenger, 122,000-ton ship for final tweaking. But though adjustments are needed, the sea trials were an overall success, and the ship remains on schedule for its October 24 delivery date.
Minor problems were reported with Solstice's bow thrusters (responsible for powering the vessel) and its stabilizer fins (balance during rough seas). The ship, which was built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, will stop at Hamburg's Blohm + Voss shipyard on October 20 for additional work, and it's likely to stay there for three days. If all goes according to plan, the ship will then sail to the port of Eemshaven in the Netherlands, where it will be officially delivered to Celebrity on October 24.
"The original plan [for Solstice] was to skip the final dry-docking -- but there is always buffer time built in," Teijo Niemela, editor and publisher of Cruise Business Review, an industry publication, tells Cruise Critic. He added that it's not altogether uncommon for small problems to surface during sea trials.
In spring 2006, Freedom of the Seas (built in Turku) required additional dry-docking to fix problems with its Azipod propulsion units. Coral Princess, which launched in 2003, needed further dry-docking (and extra sea trials) -- and delivery was ultimately postponed. Just as Celebrity Solstice is a brand new prototype for Celebrity, both of these ships were the first of their ship classes.
Niemela noted, however that "it used to be the case for a long time that Meyer Werft-built cruise ships always stopped in Hamburg for the dry-docking.
But, in recent years, they have tried to avoid that if there wasn't a necessity." For Solstice, there were problems enough to merit the stop.
Solstice is the first of five of a new prototype for Celebrity Cruises, all boasting innovative onboard features like a hot glass show, the Lawn Club, an onboard bocce/putting venue with real grass and special spa cabins.

Let me be blunt for a moment. The reason I succeed is because most of my competitors are simply failures. In the online search engine world, I am fighting for the top 10 positions for my keywords. My competition sucks, badly. For my clients their competition is even worst.
Seriously how weak is your marketing efforts? Are you at like less than 5% conversion rate, or even less than 1%? Hell, are you even tracking conversions? Do you know what a conversion is? (Amount of traffic that converts into a leads or sale)
Failure I believe derives from Fear. Most people are simply scared to get a website and put their hard earned money into their sites. The Internet is still to magically of a place. That's why when a client of mine spends 30K to 60K with me a year, they not only receive great results, but get usually an 4 to 8 month return on investment. Then next year I double their budget, since by then they have more than tripled their online revenue.
There have been times, which I live for by the way, where I have gone up against, head to head, with another online marketing that knew what they were doing. They are smart enough to understand the techniques like dynamic SEO. I see their titles, header, and Meta tags changing at a rate that would make most people dizzy and throw up. Those are the rare challenges that I live for, but for the most part my daily journey through the Internet is a joke when looking at it from an online marketing perspective.
There are website still keyword stuffing, and relying on Meta keywords to increase traffic… and guess what they are getting the traffic!! Cause there is almost no competition in their industry! None!
I am going to be more brutal with the next paragraphs, so for the squeamish exit stage left.
Fact is people have read everywhere in the online world, in order to success you need content. Content is King; Traffic is Supreme, as a version of the saying goes. So what do most website owners do, they put up weak duplicated content and hope for the best. They don't take the time to work with a copywriter to create new daily or weekly content. Then they wonder why they are still not ranking high for their targeted keywords. Give me a break. When I see thing in an industry I am entering, forget about it, it's over. 2 to 3 articles a week of writing and syndication, without doing nothing else to a client's website results in a complete take over of the top 10 positions of the website within 3 months. But Adelard, how can you take over 6 or more positions, when the search engines allow only a max of 2 positions rankings for each site… Elementary, Syndication. I get my articles on authority websites as well as my own, AND here is tip #1, ALWAYS link back to your original article on your website. There you have it, duplicate content problem solved, and by the way, you just took over more than several top positions for targeted keywords.
A/B Split testing
People have also heard o something called TESTING… Yes that's right, A/B Split testing, multi-variant test, test, test, and always be testing. I mean for goodness sakes, how can any web developer get it right the first time out of the gate? Impossible, even if they know that niche inside and out. Every website and domain is different. Test the colors, test the buttons, test the layout, and continue testing. Google even has a Website Optimizer that allows you to test; they make it so simply. Why aren't you testing everything? How else are you going to increase your conversion rate? How else are you going to know that this version is the best possible version of the web page? I test everything, down to the damn font type.
Analyze Stats
Analyze and understand your stats. Do you know how to improve the bounce rate? Do you know what a bounce rate is? Bounce rate is the amount of people going to your website and immediately leaving without visiting another page. How high is yours? How do you reduce a bounce rate? Easy, test for it. Remove garbage that is not working, and focus on bettering user experience. Honestly if have a website with an overall bounce rate over 40%, your website sucks! View your stats and find out which individual web pages have the highest bounce rates, and improve them. Add better content, here's a great tip, ADD PHOTOS. Simply adding an interesting photo to a page will increase the time on page for that page, and help reduce your bounce rate. Add a freaking video if necessary. Hell if you simple don't know why people think your website sucks, ASK THEM! There are customer surveys and feedback solutions that will allow you to directly communicate with your website visitors and get ideas on why your website sucks!
W3 Validation
Here is another tips, W3 validate your website. W3 validating your site makes sure that no matter what browser or operating system a visitor is using, your website will appear exactly right on it! Look at the numbers, you gain more ground with being w3 compliant than if your website was made for a weak browser such as Internet Explorer. And seriously why are you still using Internet Explorer? Do you like viruses? And please, testing your website in other browsers when designing and adding new code, you will be surprised at the glitches that can occur and can be easily fixed by simply testing them. Jeez!
Expand Your Presence
I know I shouldn't let this one out of the bag, but you have to also be everywhere. I mean jump on Facebook and link back to your site, get a Myspace, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, Youtube channel, Merchant Circle, be freaking everywhere. If you are not, when one of your competitors hires me, trust me, I will be everywhere you are and especially where you are NOT! Join forums, networking websites, and industry portals, not only is this going to increase your presences, but will allow you to increase traffic to your website, AND increase leads and sales since more customers will be able to find you!!! Drop links everywhere you can. Getting exposure is easy, I once created a robot to login to random chat rooms where people where talking about my niche, and had the robot say my url every 30 seconds or minute or so. I got traffic, I got leads, I got sales, and sometimes I got booted or banned. But I got mine! Also, by expanding your presence, you rely less on one source of traffic, let's say a particular big search engine, and can afford to take a hit now and then as the major search engine adjust their algorithms, or you test out a particular layout that might temporarily drop you.
Spy On The Competition
I mean seriously, Google makes it almost child's play to spy on your competition. Do Google Alerts on all your competition's websites, brand names, and your industry topics. Every time something happens, be there, if it is a blog, response on that blog in the comments and backlink your website! Drop links wherever your competition drops links. Look up all their backlinks using yahoo site explorer, download the CSV file that yahoo makes it so easy to download your competition's backlinks, and run through that list for a certain time. Since the limit is the first 1000 backlinks that you can download, divide that up into 33 backlinks a day over the course of a month, and bam, when you move onto the next competitor, you will start rising faster and faster in the search engine rankings and will soon become an authority level!
Spying on your competition works, for example I got former employers and competitors all over my websites trying to figure out my tips and tricks and how I get the results I get. I know, cause I have all their IPs, I know exactly what areas of the website they visit, how long they stayed on, and what topics they read. To try and hide, they even use proxy.org to view my site. Losers. Since I'm a mad scientist I have created some advanced tricky programming scripts to allow me to take what Google Analytics does and multiply it by 1000%. I've seen examples of where the weak competition comes to my website, reads an article about Viral marketing, and bam in one day they have an article about viral marketing saying the exact same thing I said using my buzz words. I laugh, cause they got no originality. I mean, come on, coming to my site, to get ideas for your blogs and article topics, that's weak, I talking to you o7. WEAK. But hey what can I do, except continue leading the pack.
Seriously, for anyone that wants to get top rankings and dominate their niche, hit me up, I'll show you how to do this. For everyone else, I'll see you on the playing field where you will be simply a pawn, like o7 IS. Jeez and stop keyword stuffing people!!!
"Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories."
– Sun Tzu
In order to dominate your competition, you have to know where you competition is going when it comes to growing their online presence.
It's sometimes not simple to just Google them.
That's where Google Alert comes in. Here is a quick guide on how to really CIA like details of what your competition is doing:
1. Visit http://www.google.com/alerts
2. In the search terms type in the competition's website, example, if your competition is called seobook.com, type in "seobook".
3. For type selected the "Comprehensive" Type. This makes sure that you get ANYTHING Google finds about that relates to that particular keyword.
4. I set how often to "As-It-Happens", this way I'm able to react fast in case there is something that is news worth of knowing. Google does a great job of this, there are times that I post an Article on my blog, and within 5 minutes I've gotten a Google Alert of that Google Found the blog, so the speed is great, and convenience is perfect.
5. Set the email you want to Alerts going to. You can have it going to a separate email that you setup for alerts if you want. I set it up on my primary email account and it filters into a "Google Alert" folder.
6. You have to confirm the Google Alerts by going to the email you setup the Google alerts and clicking confirm. (I wonder if I really needed to write all that)
7. Repeat this process. In the above example, I will input an for "seobook", "seobook.com", the author's name "Aaron Wall", and other people and principals affiliated with the competition's website, as well as all their brand names and products they offer. If I have a list of their clients, I add them as well. So whenever anything goes down, I get an immediate alert. If you have a Google account, you can login and it will also give you an option to get a feed of the alert instead of an email.

Carport Repair
As with anything that is a part of our outdoor setup, there are often repairs that need to be made. This also includes carport repair as well. Since this is a structure that is outside all the time, there may be at times, some simple repairs that we have to do. There are some very simple things we can do to make sure that are carport remains a sturdy and durable structure.
Many of the repairs will depend on the type of materials that were used to construct the carport. A majority of carports are constructed from metal and steel. There are other carports that are constructed of wood and even brick. Many times, there are some cosmetic repairs that need to be done. You may begin to see little spots of rust due to the finish coming off of one of our supports. It can even be because of stones and other debris hitting the structure. This is a very simple carport repair to do. There are several ways to get rid of the rust. First, you always want to sand the rust and then you can apply rust treating products as well as paint finishes to blend in.
Another issue that some carport repairs may be required for is if the canopy is beginning to sag. The first thing that you should check is to make sure all of the fittings and screws are securely fastened. You should also make sure that your support poles are still level and straight. You may need to make some slight adjustments to the anchors to make these supports straight. Once you do this, you will see that your canopy is no longer sagging.
It is very important to prevent sagging of the roof, to make sure that you keep snow and other debris from accumulating on it. It is often the weight that will create these problems. There are many parts that you can purchase in order to perform your metal carport repair. You can purchase an additional support in case any of yours have begun to buckle or bend. If your carport is made of wood, you may also experience similar difficulties. You still need to make sure that you keep anything heavy off the roof. You may also need to replace pieces that have begun to warp. This is a very easy process as you just need to remove the one slat that is affected. It also makes sure that all the screws and fittings are tight. If some of these steps do not solve some of the problems that you are experiencing, you may want to see if you are still covered under warranty. If you are covered, you will want to contact the company that sold you the carport. If your warranty has expired, you can always call the company that installed it and have them take care of the necessary repairs. Diamondback carport repair is one of the companies out there that can handle and take care of all of your carport repair needs, there are others available online as well.

Music and lyrics are poetry. Lyrics tell a story and the score behind the words are emotion; a freight train going off the tracks or a gentle rain lulling one to sleep. Unless, of course, we speak of modern day recording artists. They are cookie cutter studio puppets. They are nothing more than pasteurized cheese. But that is a diatribe for another day. I have already forgotten my original intent of this piece so, to get to the point, here are a handful of songs about and pertaining to Cleveland, with my own sarcastic review of said songs which some people find endearing. Those who don't find my dry wit and sarcasm endearing are probably either dead or listen to the radio.
1) Cleveland Rocks - Ian Hunter. The ex Mott The Hoople singer wrote and recorded this song in 1979, probably never having visited Cleveland. If he did, he may not have remembered or just moved on to the next city and show. The greatest Cleveland radio station ever, WMMS, used this as it's theme song back when radio played real rock and roll. Covered by The Presidents Of The United States (of 'Lump ' fame) for Cleveland's own 'Drew Carey Show'.
2) My City Was Gone - The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde is from Akron, not Cleveland. Akron is close enough to Cleveland to be included on this list. Akron sucks. I'm also not a big fan of Chrissie Hynde but The Pretenders have a couple good songs. Her vegan restaurant in Akron also failed.
3) My Town - Michael Stanley. Of course this song has to be mentioned just because Stanley is from Cleveland and this song is about Cleveland. I hate this song. Every article ever written about him calls him the 'hometown rocker. He doesn't rock. I remember Cleveland used this in all it's tourist ads way back when, as did local car dealerships. How'd that work out?
4) Ohio - Neil Young/CSN - Written about the shootings at Kent State in 1970. Neil is Canadian and probably couldn't find Kent, Ohio on a map as we all know Canadians are awful at reading maps. Neil once thought he was going to Calgary for a show but ended up in Iowa because he couldn't do the math and figure out the differences between miles and kilometers and that whole metric system thing. A friend once dedicated this song to me at a party (I went to Kent State and I'm Canadian) but I didn't care. Plus, I hate hippies.
5) Skinny Little Kid - Alex Bevan. A 1976 ode to running around Cleveland and drinking beer. I can relate. Maybe not in '76 as I was only 5 years old and living in Canada. But come on, 'I'm a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio, gonna chase your women and drink your beer'. Classic.
6) Amphetamine - Rocket From The Tombs. RFTT was the band before Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. This song mentions the Harbor Inn and a bridge. I've been to the Harbor Inn and a bridge. I like these previously mentioned groups. They had style. But then again, I'm nothing but a cranky old punk.
7) The Heart Of Rock And Roll - Huey Lewis And The News. Really? I admit I saw this band at Blossom Music Center back in '84 but, come on, they only mention Cleveland near the end of the song. This song really has nothing to do with Cleveland.
8) Look Out Cleveland - The Band/Robbie Robertson. I've never heard this song but it probably sucks.
9) Burn On - Randy Newman. A song about the Cuyahoga River being on fire. Hilarious. Randy Newman doesn't write songs, he just observes things and talks over music and prattles on. He's like the Jerry Seinfeld of piano bars.
10) The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot. Another damn Canadian. This song hit #1 in Canada and #2 here in the U.S. Lake Erie is half Canadian and half American, so no wonder this song was an international hit. Sorry for the loss of life Gordy but your song bites.
11) Cuyahoga - R.E.M. Another tune about a burning river. How original.
12) Youngstown - Bruce Springsteen. I hate the Boss and I hate Youngstown almost as much as I hate Akron. This song is 4 minutes long. How can a song about Youngstown be so long?
There is also a song by someone about surfing at Euclid Beach. But I am bored and tired now, so to heck with it. Google it.
Oh yeah, Cleveland Rocks!

University of Massachusetts Medical School findings that the use of Lipitor could increase the risk of postmenopausal women developing type 2 diabetes have sparked great concern in the medical community. The attorneys at Alonso Krangle are currently reviewing FREE Lipitor Type 2 Diabetes lawsuit claims for victims who allege that taking Lipitor has caused them to develop the Lipitor side effect of Type 2 diabetes.
Melville, NY – March 23, 2013
A study conducted by the University of Massachusetts Medical School found that postmenopausal women taking Lipitor had a significantly increased risk of developing the Lipitor Type 2 Diabetes side effect over women not taking this drug. Lipitor, a statin drug made by Pfizer, was approved by the FDA in 1996 for the treatment of high cholesterol. Since then, Lipitor has become one of the best selling prescription drugs in the world, as sales of this medication have exceeded $125 billion. For some time, medical professionals have been aware of the risk of some rare but serious Lipitor side effects, such as heart attack, kidney and liver failure, cognitive damage and irreparable damage to the nerves and tendons. However, only recently has the possible link between Lipitor and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes come to light. Although medical professionals warn patients to not stop taking Lipitor without consulting their doctors, the efficacy of Lipitor for the treatment of high cholesterol in some patients has been called into serious question.
Alonso Krangle's experienced defective drug attorneys are dedicated to standing up for victims' rights and holding even the largest corporations accountable for their potentially dangerous medications. We offer free Lipitor type 2 diabetes lawsuit evaluations to those who have sustained serious side effect injuries that could be linked to the use of Lipitor. To discuss a potential Lipitor type 2 diabetes lawsuit claim with one of the compassionate Lipitor lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP, please contact us at 1-800-403-6191 or visit our website, FightForVictims.com
University of Massachusetts' Lipitor and Type 2 Diabetes Study In Postmenopausal Women
The University of Massachusetts' Lipitor and type 2 diabetes study, the results of which were published in January 2012, focused on nearly 154,000 women with a mean age of 63 from 1993 through 2005. By the end of the study, researchers found that more than 10,200 women in the study had developed new cases of type 2 diabetes and that those with a body mass index (BMI) that was less than 25 had a greater risk of developing the disease. After accounting for the participating subjects' age, weight, lifestyle and other factors that may contribute to the development of diabetes, researchers found that postmenopausal women taking statins like Lipitor had up to a 46 percent increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Lipitor Side Effect Sparks FDA To Issue A Safety Label Change
The findings of this study sparked the FDA to issue a drug safety communication in February 2012 regarding important safety label changes mandated for Lipitor and other statins. As part of the FDA announcement, the agency also included warnings to the public regarding the risks of serious side effects – including type 2 diabetes – when using Lipitor.
Further Studies Needed For Lipitor Type 2 Diabetes Side Effects
While information regarding the link between Lipitor and type 2 diabetes has sent shockwaves through the medical community, some are calling for further research to be done on statins. "Due to the extensive use of statins in the aging female population, it is critical that more studies are done to help understand the association with statins and the development of diabetes. Women who are taking statins should be aware of the need to check their blood sugars, along with their liver function tests," stated Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, the director of women and heart disease at the Lenox Hill Hospital in Bronx, New York.

There have been many great movies made about food. "Chocolat" and "Julie & Julia" just to name a couple. There are so many ways those movies can be put together, a couple of restaurants battling it out, a lowly chef rising to the top or a special food getting created. In director Lasse Hallström's new movie, "The Hundred-Foot Journey" opening today, August 8, he decides to mix a few of these together and winds up with mild results.
A family from India must flee their home country. They find themselves in France and the father of the family decides to buy some property to open a restaurant, the family's previous business. Across the street, a hundred-feet away to be precise, is an upscale French restaurant owned by Madam Mallory (Helen Mirren) who is not to thrilled to have the competition. Before long, war breaks out and caught in-between is the son of the family, Hassan, who could have the makings of one of the great chefs of all time.
"The Hundred-Foot Journey" contains plenty of shots of food, food being made, food metaphors and food philosophy. The added ingredient is the extra plot lines that unfold. At first it appears the movie will be about these two establishments, that could not be more different from one another, having a restaurant war. Then new plots emerge to the point where you no longer are sure what direction the movie is heading next. They even throw in a couple of love stories as well. It is a good idea to not make your movie about one thing, but as the saying goes, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." The movie is based on a best-selling book, and some books are too difficult to translate to screen. The movie reaches a point to where you start to lose interest.
It should be no surprise that Helen Mirren is great. She always is and gets to play the kind of villain in this piece. Madam Mallory can be very cold and rude in the movie, but at the same time is driven by her passion for food preparation and does not turn a blind eye to the evils in the world. Manish Dayal, who plays Hassan holds his own well, but the standout in this movie is Charlotte Le Bon who plays Marguerite, a sous-chef in Madam Mallory's kitchen. This Canadian actress lights up the screen whenever she appears and is a talent Hollywood should stand up and take notice about.
Lasse Hallström is a very talented director. He was the director of "Chocolat" which was a great picture. "The Hundred-Foot Journey" is delightful in parts, but just goes a little too long for a lasting good taste. It is Rated PG for thematic elements, some violence, language and brief sensuality.


text: After reading the many replies from outraged fans to the Sam and Max 2 petition thread, a question has come up in my mind: will Lucasarts reconsider and revive the long awaited sequel, or will they continue to crush our spirits with games like Secret Wepons over Normandy, Armed and Dangerous, and *shudder* Mercanaries? So, will we continue to sign online petitions and send angry e-mails, or do we need to ecsept that adventure games are dead, and we're stuck in the past and should move on?

Memoto Set for Spring Launch
Memoto, a Swedish startup producing a tiny camera you clip to your shirt and which captures your life every 30 seconds, has shown off its first working device ahead of ramping up production for a full launch in early April.
The first device to go on sale will be about the size of a large postage stamp and will have 8 gigabytes of memory, enough to store at least a day's worth of shots from the 5-megapixel camera.
CEO Martin Källström was in London Tuesday and we caught up with him and his team. We last spoke just before they launched their very successful Kickstarter project. Mr. Källström said they had hoped to raise $50,000 but ended up securing $550,000.
"Since then we have done sales off our own website as well–$125,000 so far," he said. "We have about 3,000 orders." He said the company was raising another funding round in the spring.
That, together with the €500,000 ($676,000) they raised from their seed round, including investors like Passion Capital in London, is allowing them to move ahead with their plans to shift the assembly of the $279 device from Sweden, where the prototypes are being assembled, to Taiwan.
"At the moment we can produce five at a time [in Sweden]. That will go to 50 and then 1,000," Mr. Källström said. The reason for Taiwan, and not mainland China, was simply that another Swedish startup, Mutewatch, had blazed a trail for Memoto. "What we did was to follow their supply chain with their manufacturer, their packaging manufacturer, their quality-control company and their logistics. We learned from their mistakes," he said.
While it might seem that cramming all the hardware into a stamp-sized package was the tricky part for the team, according to Björn Wesén, co-founder and chief technology officer, the software has proved to be the sticking point. "The hardware is not the most expensive part. The stuff that happens when you plug it in and upload to the cloud, the algorithms that have to analyze what you did and which are the best photographs to put on your timeline out of the 2,000 you upload–that has been the hardest part."
The company is planning to release the 3-D data to allow users with 3-D printers to print their own accessories, as well as the 2-D data so people can make their own decals and stickers.
The 1.4-inch-square device, which will be available in orange, gray or white, comprises a 5-megapixel camera, a GPS receiver and a battery the company claims lasts two days on a charge. Every 30 seconds the camera wakes up and takes a picture. Images are uploaded via a micro USB cable connection to your computer and from there to the cloud, where they can be viewed in a timeline via a mobile app for Android or iOS.
The first device to launch will have 8GB of storage, enough for at least a day, but the company plans to launch a 32GB device for traveling. They are also planning to sell a docking station that will allow users to upload direct to the cloud without the need for a PC.
The uses of this tiny camera are myriad. At $279, the first buyers are likely to be same people who buy FitBit bands and the like. If the price comes down, expect to see them in a lot more places. It isn't hard to see that police officers, or soldiers, would want to record everything they do. Mr. Källström said the guard on their train said he wanted one to record the many people who harass him in his job.

yesterday, Cam Cameron told the media that the QB competition is wide open, and its anyone's job. The media reacted with shock. For the last 12 hours, they've blustered on about how the Phins traded for their starter in Trent Green, and they never assumed anything different.
But that's not true right here on this website. As I've said many times in the past, Trent Green was brought in to tutor young John Beck. He would be given a shot to win the job, but its really Cleo Lemon's job to lose. On opening day, I'd be shocked if Lemon wasn't the starter and Green was #2. I do believe there is some competition, of course, but Lemon has youth, health, and recent experience under Cameron. Plus, he's been here throughout the offseason, and Cameron never really wanted to see him traded from San Diego.
Beck will see some playing time, and undoubtedly, will wind up as the starter by the end of the year.
One thing to keep in mind is that Green's contract is based around playing time. If he plays a lot, he gets paid a lot. I don't expect he'll see most of the money. I could be wrong, but that's been my story all along, and I'm sticking with it.
...and just what is that coach doing next to Trent? [From the Sentinel]

Every community has their own signs that winter is coming to an end. In the Annapolis Royal region, some of these signs are natural while others are very much human endeavors. I have already seen or heard some of the natural signs of spring. The Canada geese have started to return, and the barred owls have been hooting out their mating calls. I have also seen a number of snow drops in bloom in lawns and gardens. These first flowers of the season are a very hopeful sign. These little bits of colour are a good reminder that warmer weather is on the way.
As for the human signs of spring, in Annapolis Royal one of the sure signs that weather is getting warmer is that a boat has been brought in at the boat haul-up. Most years this facility closes in late November or early December and remains shut until the ice is gone from the Annapolis Basin. Some years this has made for a late start to the season as the ice has packed in on the slip and the carriage has not been able to slide into the water. This year, the first boat of the season, the Scotia Provider, arrived on March 29th.
The haul-up is an interesting facility. In many of the conversations I have with visitors to Annapolis Royal, I refer to things that we once had. We were the capital of Nova Scotia, we had an active fort until 1854, we were the end of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway. I like the boat haul-up because I can point to it and show visitors how the workers are keeping some of our heritage alive. Many of the skills and techniques used to maintain our wooden scallop fleet are the same as they were 150 years ago. The most obvious example, though not the only one, is that the boats are still caulked (pronounced corked locally) with a mallet and caulking iron. The ring of the iron as it is hit with the mallet would have been a common sound in any community where ships were built. While this is a very intangible legacy, I smile every time I hear this noise.
I took the pictures for this post a few minutes ago. It is somewhat overcast and rainy today so it does not look too much like spring yet. At least it is rain and not snow. There is more to be said about the haul-up, how it works and its role in the community but this will have to wait for a future post.
All for now,

There are two major reasons that you want to do all that you can to prevent business identity theft if you own or operate a business of any size. The first reason is that you don't want the financial information of your own business to be compromised by someone who might try to use your business credit to run up debts under an assumed identity. The second reason is that you want to make sure that your customers are safe from identity theft in order to both avoid legal problems and to maintain your reputation with your customers.
Here are five things that you can start doing right now to prevent business identity theft from happening to your business:
1. Physically secure your building and your records. The building where the business is located should be physically secure with an alarm system in place to make sure that no one can get on the premises. As a further precaution, you should make sure that all physical records containing identifying and financial information are carefully locked up so that even if someone does break in, they can't easily steal any of those records.
2. Make sure that computers are secure. It is important to invest in a high level of computer security so that your computer has a lower risk of being hacked. In addition to the security measures that you take on each computer in the office, you should also have a business organizational structure which limits the access of any financial files to only those few employees who really require that information.
3. Learn to shred and keep secrets. The main thing that a business person needs to learn is that the financial and identifying information that the business is involved with must be kept as secret as possible. This means shredding all financial documents in an appropriate-grade paper shredder and being careful not to reveal identifying information to people who don't need to have it. Developing those habits seriously cuts down on identity theft issues.
4. Stop being a sucker. Would you believe that the most common way that identity thieves get information is that they ask for it and someone hands it over? Practice caution whenever you get an email or phone call requesting information, even if the person claims to be the customer.
5. Stay educated. There are many different scams out there implemented by identity thieves and they are changing all of the time. The smart business person will choose to be educated and to stay educated about the latest problems in business identity theft.
Businesses themselves can become victims of this problem but the real concern is that the mistakes of a business will lead to a customer's identity theft. A business owner's responsibilities include watching your business credit (including credit cards) as well as protecting your customer's financial information to keep all parties safe from identity thieves when it comes to your place of business. Smart choices and the drive to stay on top of this issue should prevent a majority of the problems that have the potential to arise.

Is it possible for a yarn shop to be a destination—like a club or restaurant? Is it possible to have a favorite yarn shop if you don't knit, crochet, felt or make teeny-tiny sailor knots in yarn? If it's Alamitos Bay Yarn Company, the answer is yes. Located at the very end of Marina Drive North, the yarn company is housed in a beach cottage-style yellow building with white trim and a bright red door and contains so many skeins of brightly-colored yarns, it looks like a party on the inside.
In addition to dozens of samples, the latest in pattern books, classes, and friendly and knowledgeable staff, the Yarn Company is an experience—a day out at the shore. During the summer months they even offer knit and cruises. Until then, consider making a day of your trip to Alamitos Bay with a ride across the bay on the Aqualink.
For more information: Alamitos Bay Yarn Company 74 Marina Drive (562) 799-8484.
Your day out can be bookended by a ride on the Aqualink, Long Beach's inexpensive public water transportation. It's a catamaran painted up like a water-tight rose parade float —pink, yellow, purple—you can't miss it. Board the boat on the west side of the bay and ride it over for an afternoon at Alamitos Bay Landing.
For more information: Aqualink (562) 591-2301.
Buster's Beach House and Long Board Bar
After you've explored Alamitos Bay Yarn Company and before you head back on the Aqualink, pop in to Busters Beach House and Long Board Bar for lunch, appetizers, sugar shack cocktails—they have a full bar—and a little bit of aloha in every bite. That's their slogan. What their slogan and menu don't tell you, is that Buster's dining room and bar offer some of the best bay views to be found in Long Beach. You'll see the giant Buster's sign as you pull up in the water taxi.
For more information: Buster's Beach House and Long Board Bar 168 Marina Drive (562) 598-9431.

Part of an unmanned aircraft used by the US government to monitor wildlife is wrongly delivered to a college student.
12:45, UK, Tuesday 06 May 2014
A college student was left baffled after he was accidentally sent part of a $350,000 (£206,000) government drone.
He received the environment and wildlife monitoring Puma drone pieces - owned by the US National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – on Monday.
Photographs posted to reddit by the user - known as Seventy_Seven - showed a large box filled with neatly packaged drone pieces, including what looks like a control panel.
The student said he called delivery firm UPS, which said the package was his and it was up to him whether to keep it.
Since then he has contacted the NOAA, who are now trying to organise a collection.
He wrote: "They were happy I reached out to them, and now know where their missing shipment went.
"After describing what happened, he seemed pretty content about it."
David Miller, an NOAA spokesman, told the Motherboard website: "We sent one of our Puma unmanned aircraft systems to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts.
"We sent a set of about eight boxes for this one aircraft system, and one was misdelivered by UPS."
The package was sent from MacDill Air Force Base in Florida in plain packaging, addressed to the student.
The drone has a range of around eight miles and can fly for about two hours at a time.
The completed drone will be used to monitor the sanctuary's environment.
Mr Miller added: "We're just wanting to get that missing package to the sanctuary so we can start flying the mission."

Dragon skin is being touted as the best new Body armor. I have watched several shows on Kevlar and the guy who invented it. My question is this. Does anyone know if there is body armor that will stop a 30-06 round? My thoughts are this. If there were wouldnt the impact force of the bullet break every rib in the guys chest and stop his heart anyway? I doubt that body armor would stop the 308 or 30-06 round but I am not very knowledgable on this subject. My choice of this caliber round is for this very reason. My brother inlaw shoots a 300 Mag from Browning BAR. That is a nasty round. The 30-06 seems to me to be the best all around big game and war round. Your thoughts?
posted by:
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 5:31 AMI have looked at some of the military class 5 stuff and it says right on the tag that it will stop up to 30-06 ball ammo.I just don't want to be the test dummy !With that said the blunt force trauma has got to still be awsome,but better that hot lead I guess.And oh yea the stuff weighs a ton.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 5:41 AMI am very partial to the 30-06 round. I have a Remington 700 BDL 30-06. It is the military sniper version they once used before changing. It even has "MIL" on the serial number. I hand load my rounds so I can get the full potential of the Hornady 165 gr. I use.
Now to your question. I went to Pinnacle Armour who sells Dragon Skin body armour. They have a chart there listing the different level of Dragon Skin and what round that level can stop. Here is 2 links. The first one goes to the page dealing with Dragon Skin body armour and the 2nd link goes to the charts.
During my research on this I also ran across several articles from the military concerning the Dragon Skin body armour. The links below are those articles.
As for my thoughts on body armour. I agree our military personnel who are in the line of fire should have a good reliable body armour. It does save lives. It really doesn't do any good when you have a direct hit from a RPG or a 1000 lbs. IED going off right next to you. Our people need them and should have the best money can buy. Me personally do not see the need for me to own Dragon Skin or any other type of body armour. First, I cannot afford any - 2nd, when the SHTF and all hell breaks loose my tactics WILL NOT be one of the street gangs and city dwellers. Let's see - I have been a hunter since the age of 13 and I am now 53, I have been shooting a rifle or pistol since I was 13 (pretty much every day too - weather permitting), I spent time in the military and received some interesting and very useful training, a 30-06 rifle with custom loads, a Ruger 44 mag carbine, a Mossberg 590 shotgun, a Springfield 1911-A1 45 cal., a Gilleys suit, and did I say I was a hard core hunter. I guess you can get the picture. One shot - one kill! So go wear the high dollar body armour - I haven't seen any facial body armour. Oh yea, does anyone know how long it takes to bleed to death when the femeral artery has been torn apart from a bullet......
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 7:17 AMAbout 3 min.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Sun, November 30, 2008 - 1:20 PMIf the femoral is sheared completely apart close to the groin it will most often times snap up into the abdominal cavity and death will occur is about 30 seconds. If the femoral is only partially damaged and closer to the knee death can take up to 30 minutes. A good hit lower is as stated about 3 minutes.
Remember when shooting at someone in a prone position that is in body armor with a helmet the ideal target is the tip of the nose.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 7:30 AMTimberwolf pretty much covered things. I am just going to add a couple of things that I think are important. Kevlar weakens with time, sweat, heat. With that said an old vest is better then no vest. It will slow down and decrees the damage from a gunshot. The vests that are issued to your local police office are rated for handgun rounds. I think .22 will penetrate this body armor. There is a trauma plate that can be placed in the vest that will help against rifle rounds. The trauma plate is not very big and only covers center chest. AS for breaking ribs it depends on the age and health of the person. If I remember my high school physics, the force of the bullet would not be any greater then the force of the but stock against your shoulder. That's why I laugh when some one in the movies shoots a shotgun and the person who is hit goes flying. If that was the case, the person shooting the shotgun should go flying also. As for it stopping the heart, depends on the impact location and the age/health of the person.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 7:48 AMA quick side note about .22 and vests. A friend of mine is a local cop and he told me that he doesn't want to see someone point a .22 at him. It WILL penetrate the vests issued to law enforcement officers. Now the SWAT teams and other special teams get the better body armour but the poor old patrolman gets the lower grade stuff.
I was joking with him one day about his body armour. I told him I am not one to shoot for the chest or stomach, I shoot for the head. He said he was glad that the everyday criminal didn't think like that. He said that most of the time all they are doing is sending as much lead as they can hoping to hit the cops.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 8:44 AMWow, I went to the first link and saw the video of 11- 308 rounds and no penetration. That is hard to believe. I guess to defeat that level of body armor one would have to aim at the groin area or head. It would take steel jacketed bullets to go through it. Also the shock didnt look that big on the test dummy. I saw what the 30-06 did to a 150 pound dressed whitetail last week. It is hard to imagine any type of nylon fabrick stopping one of those rounds but hey, there is the video to prove it.
I too have been a hunter all of my life. I shot the old 30-40 Krag for 20 years until my vision got bad and now have to use a scope to be acurate. The Krag needed a side mount scope and it just would have been too expensive to have it done. I have a Remmington 7400 now in 30-06 My wife has a 740 and we have another 7400 as a spare. I just picked up a used encore single shot 30-06 and will shoot all of the reloads out of that rifle. The 740 and 7400's cant shoot reloads because the casings stick in the chambers and break the ejectors. That is the only draw back to those rifles. So I have to keep lots of factory ammo on hand. The nice thing about 30-06 is that Meijers sells them for 12 to 14 dollars a box this time of year(deer season) . Cabelas sells the good 10 round clips for these rifles as well. Just have to keep them clean unlike an AK 47 that will still shoot full of mud. If it ever comes to any type of war scenario I hope They dont find me.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 9:18 AMSeem's that a explosion take's the path of least resistense and that all the velocity blown out the end of the barrel would be a greater force than the recoil. I'm not sure though.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 2:54 PMSecond Chance has a great video,its about 6 hours long, but it goes into body armor and effects of different rounds. I have not looked at it years, close to 10 or more. If you have the money it is worth it.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 4:35 PMI am not thinking of buying any. I was just looking for some data on whether or not Armor could stop my 30-06 rounds. It looks like hi tec Dragon Skin can. It stopped 11-- 308 rounds with zero penetration. That is amazing. If the goon squad was wearing that crap you would have to shoot for the groin or head or use steel jacketed slugs. I am not sure if there are steel jacketed slugs available for the 30-06. Not much sense shooting at some guy wearing Dragon Skin unless you want to die. It is pretty hard to make a head or groin shot on a guy moving fast behind cover fire. Let us hope we never have to fight against guys wearing top of the line Dragon Skin. Michael
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, November 27, 2008 - 5:37 PMLook for old mil surpuls ammo in 30.06. Also The Second Chance video was for the education purpose, not because I thought you wanted to by body armor.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Sun, November 30, 2008 - 12:30 PMbulletproofme.com/
THIS IS the best online resource for education on getting your hands on body armor and selection of body armor type. It is also one of the cheapest places to buy body armor. They sell police surplus for dirt-cheap as well, and they sell the older vests for $25 bucks (not for life saving purposes) just so you can shoot the old stuff yourself and see how it handles different projectiles. (it's actually perfectly suitable for lifesaving, as evidenced by performance testing, but for legal reasons they cannot sell it for life-saving purposes as they are rated according to a standard rating procedure which is no longer used in america)
That said, 30-06 is a tough round to stop. In WWII, I'm under the impression that 30-06, 8mm Mauser, and .303 were considered pretty comparable, with only a slight edge (a hundred fifty fps at same bullet weight) going in favor of the Mauser.
I have mauser surplus in 147 grain 'ball' and 190 grain boat tail for use in the luftwaffe fighter guns (it's a considerably beefed up charge, favored by snipers of the wermacht. The shells often stick in the chamber (at least in my crappy gun), and kick noticeably harder) I would imagine the 190 grainers are a tough contender for any body armor out there. They're not specifically 'armor piercing' though.
I'm not sure where the 7.62X54R fits into the mix, but looks very comparable and has been stopped many times by the armor our troops carry into the sandbox.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Sun, November 30, 2008 - 9:38 PMWearing "armor" isn't just for the bullets that hit you. There's all kinds of things flying around that hurt. ...Ricochettes, bits of glass, rock fragments and pieces of brick. Getting shot at can be very interesting, with things coming from odd angles. Wearing something is better than not. It may not stop an '06, but it helps with the shrapnel.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Sun, November 30, 2008 - 10:54 PMWell you know my post was asking for information. lOTS OF GREAT LINKS. I see where the 308 got stopped 11 times. I think it would take a pretty hard jacketed round to penetrate dragon skin. I shoot the 30-06 and will be ready when I see an adversary wearing body armor. I think a full metal jacketed 180 will do the trick. If not Ill cut his legs in half. The survivalist must be able to define any situation he faces. Waste a shot to the midsection into an armor vest and you might be dead. Not many people will be wearing Dragon Skin any way and most of the older stuff will not stop the 30-06 any way.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Mon, December 1, 2008 - 4:11 PMNot only that, but the dragon skin will break down over time, just like lexan or kevlar, they have a shelf life that can be shortened by sun or heat.
I figure that if I hit them with my 45-70, vest or not they're getting knocked down.(yet a 45-70 is not fast enough to detonate Tannerite.)
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Mon, December 1, 2008 - 6:13 PMI've taken a real shine to the harrington and richardson break-open single shot designs.... They make a .45-70 'buffalo gun' that I would thoroughly enjoy and could definitely afford.
That is another approach to the body armor conundrum. You just can't take a 45-70 standing, and still be standing after the bullet has stopped. It doesn't matter if it stops on your vest or in your chest, that's a wrecking-ball of force to absorb. Limited range, though.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.Unsu...
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Mon, December 1, 2008 - 7:32 PMMy little H&R single shot was only 210.00 bucks new. You can buy barrels for 110.00. I put a simmons wide angle 3 by 9 power scope on it. 200 yards with 125 power points 3 inch groups off a rest. 5 to 6 inch free hand. Its as good as my Remmingtons. The nice thing about it is I reuse all my brass from the semi autos for the H&R. I know it will reach out there 400 yards as well.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Mon, December 1, 2008 - 7:41 PMWhen I first learned about H&R i thought they were second-rate, cheap pot-metal guns at throw-away prices.
Then I 'inherited' a 20 gauge single shot, and started looking into it more. And i realized that i really like those guys. Their business model is one of making simple, reliable firearms that are cheap enough to put one in every home on any income. What a patriotic American philosophy. They are accurate, simple, rugged, and well made. They're not particularly pretty, nor will their name command any kind of resale price. But that's kind of the point. Cheap. All the money goes into the function and reliability, nothing into brand-names or fancy finish. And they're American made. I've looked all over online owner reviews and haven't found a black spot or bad opinion yet.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Wed, December 3, 2008 - 12:00 PMThousand, Yahoo Groups has a place just for the H&R. They have their own little cult going on. My youngest daughter has one in .223 for coyote hunting. The only problem we ever had with it was sticky extraction of fired rounds. The chambers are not exactly perfect on these rifles. The problem was fixed by polishing the chamber with Flitz. You can't put a rifle barrel on a shotgun frame. The barrels have to be fitted at the factory. I would not go so far as to say they are as good as my Remingtons.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Wed, December 3, 2008 - 2:10 PMSomeone out there sells a .243/20ga/.22 combination gun. Same frame, swap barrels. They have them at Dunhams sporting goods for less than 300 bucks.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Wed, December 3, 2008 - 4:39 PMWhat I ment was the little single shot is as acuate as my Remmingtons. Now the Remmington 740 and 7400 is not the most acurate rifle in 30-06 . There4 are many rifles that will shoot much more acurate but both are fine with me. I needed a cheap survival 30-06 that woul;d shoot all my reloads and I cant do that with the 740's or 7400's . Without perfect resizing of the casings both model Rems will break the shell extractors because the cases stick in the chambers.
I have been told by three different Gunsmiths that if I stick with factory loads my Remmingtons will last longer than me but Ill break one if I #1 fail to clean them and #2 shoot reloads. I hate to toss the brass so I picked up the H&R single shot. It was less than half what they wanted for an Encore. The Encore may be a little more acurate but in my book no Single shot rifle is worth 600 bucks.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Wed, December 3, 2008 - 5:55 PMI probably have more guns than a man really needs, but I have been collecting them for over 40 years. I bought the H&R for my daughter when she first expressed a desire to hunt with me. I am a fan of single shot rifle for hunting. It is a personal preferance for myself. I have Ruger#1's, Encores, a Ruger#3, a couple of the H&R's. I like them all. I like my Remington 700's also. With the exception of my custom Encore's the single shots do not compare in accuracy with the 700's. They all have acceptable hunting accuracy.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Wed, December 3, 2008 - 9:14 PMIf I may~
Rather than start a new thread, please pardon the drift and permit me to post this here:
My roommate went and purchased herself a groovy 12 g Mossberg today. The store was half empty of inventory and full of shoppers. The proprietor told her folks are BUYIN' GUNS LIKE CRAZY. Even the little ole lady standing next to her at the counter said 'Now's the time!'
Here in the Steel City there's a big brew-yee-ha about the city passing a shiny, new gun law.
('Cause all the bad guys adhere to and abide by The Law, doncha' know...)
Anyone have links or info concerning the rumored new "ammo tax"?
Back to your regularly scheduled body armor banter.
I prefer chain mail, myself.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, December 4, 2008 - 2:59 PMMali, I have not heard of any ammo tax on the books anywhere. A holes like Moynihan Were pushing that crap back during the Clinton Years. Now with Hillary in Moynihans senate seat We will have to see who replaces her as she moves into the Obama team. Gun sales are up since november 4th. I tried to get a mini 14 or any opther rifle that would take 30 round clips and was not surprised to find out that no one had any left by the 10th of november. Springfield and Ruger are both out of semi auto rifles . The fear is a return to the Clinton Gun Ban . This has manufacturers frozen on production as they dont want to get caught with high inventories of Illegal weapons. We were forced to buy several Remmington semi automatic rifles instead. Only 10 round clips available for them but hey the Garrand only held 8 and was the weapon of choice during the second world war. Yes Yes, Get your guns while you can. I am suprised that companies like Ruger are not ramming them out the doors right now . The demand is very high.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Thu, December 4, 2008 - 5:31 PMI don't think that Obama has actually said that he would raise taxes on ammo. Most of the speculation right now that I have heard is he is going to be to busy dealing with the economy and the middle east to be able to mess with the Second Ammendment. Yes, Sem-Auto's are getting scarce and have gone up in price. If you can't find them in the gun shops, the auction sites on the web has them.
Re: Body armor and the 30-06Fri, December 5, 2008 - 6:27 AMevery gun store I've checked out in utah has at least a couple mini-14's in stock. AR15's are also abound, although more scarce than usual.
previously, gun stores had an inventory of ten or more AR15's in different configurations. Now they have four or five.

It was fashionable several years ago to declare that PC gaming was dead, ushered in by the cheaper convenience of consoles. I may have even written one or two of those pieces, ahem. That stubborn PC wouldn't go away though and the Steam Box may help make it the only gaming device in teh future. Dedicated gaming consoles are trying to become more PC like every day. Microsoft seems to add a new Windows feature to the Xbox 360 on an hourly basis. I'm convinced Kinect exists to remind me that I can use my voice to search with Bing. (I've tried asking my Kinect where Google is on this machine and it hasn't responded.)
Now the PC is coming into the living room with Valve's Project Piston Steam Box, where the console has reigned unchallenged since the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Valve has earned the love of gamers the world over with its Steam digital distribution platform, and the wallet-attacking sales it has. If there is anybody who convince gamers it's a good idea to hook a mini-PC into their HDTVs, it is Valve.
Software sells hardware. Having access to Steam's considerable library on Day 1 gives the Project Piston Steam Box a launch lineup that blows competitors away. Console launch lineups tend to be mediocre. They can be because of their dedicated fans, who buy new systems to play the three or four good games available. We trust Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony to eventually bring us software we're excited about playing.
Anyone who has ever participated in a Steam summer sale knows how competitive the platform is with pricing. The X7A modular computer Piston is based on costs around $1,000. Valve may be in a strong enough position to sell the hardware at a loss, as it will easily make the money back on software sales with the Steam Box. It's just like what the Big Three do with their consoles.
Microsoft is especially vulnerable through Games on Demand. You can download games to your console, but its used game prices are far from competitive. PlayStation Plus was able to exploit this with the Instant Game Collection. Nintendo has never prioritized creating an online community, and it's too early to say if a huge online gaming community could develop on the Wii U. Once dedicated console gamers get a taste of Steam, there may be no going back.
Many experts expect that the Wii U, Microsoft and Sony's next consoles will be the last to support physical disc sales. The future is digital distribution, and Valve its little Steam Box are already there. This console war just got very interesting. Microsoft and Sony have to announce what their new consoles are going to do to counter it by E3 2013 and possibly before then.

TC TO ROBERT MITCHELL; 19 November 1817; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18171119-TC-RM-01; CL 1:111-115.
Kirkcaldy19th Novr 1817—
It is a great while, My dear Mitchell, since I wrote you a letter that did not require an apology for its lateness. You too are chargeable with similar practices—and could I with any conscience—I would rate you very severely.1 It is certainly a deplorable way of proceeding. If it be true, in your case, as it is in mine, that the letters which pass between us, occassion some of the happiest feelings that diversify this languid scene—it is pity that they are, on both sides, so sparingly supplied— I am no stranger to the dreary sense of vacuity that occupies the soul of him who sits down to fill a fair unblotted sheet of paper—when fit materials are wanting. But we are too fastidious in our choice of subjects; and, above all, we ought to exert ourselves. It cannot be expected, that leading this unvaried life, which Providence has allotted us, we should have any wonderful tidings to communicate. We have nothing to say about the musical glasses or bon ton2—nor can we pretend to speak of moving accidents by flood & field, of Cannibals that each other eat—the Anthropophagi3—or aught of that nature. Yet are we not destitute of topics. The feelings and adventures of each of us (tho' of no moment to nearly all the world beside) may be interesting to the other—& by mutually communicating the progress of our studies, and the ideas (if any) that at times penetrate these benighted minds of ours—we may be encouraged to proceed on our way; rejoicing together—without flattery or jealousy or any such thing — I desire you to ponder upon this subject with due attention— Let us both write oftener—No matter how dull the letters be. When men cannot be social, they are content to be gregarious—and, tho' it be in a state of silence and torpor, experience some gratification from mere juxtaposition: so with regard to letters, it may safely be affirmed, that the shortest and meagrest is preferable to none at all— I am writing to you at present, from a conviction of the truth & utility of this proposition— Since my departure from your country, nothing at all worth relating has happened to me. I have gone the round of my duties with all the regularity and sang-froid of a mill-horse. My mind has on the whole been placid—sometimes almost stagnant. And if it be true, as Flaccus hath it, that,
I am in a fair way of obtaining & preserving a considerable share of felicity. But I am much inclined to doubt Flaccus— The history of my studies exhibits the same stupid pictur[e] of impotent resolutions and unavailing regrets as heretofore. I may lay aside my French project, when I please. What, as you say, should take me to Paris?5 If they could pluck from my brain this rooted indolence, it might be worth thinking of. Soon after my arrival here, I fell to Wallace's fluxions, with might and main. I would study, I thought, with great vehemence, every night—and the two hours at noon, which I have to dispose of, I would devote to the reading of history and other lighter matters— But alas! two hours I found to be insufficien[t]—by degrees poor Wallace was encroached upon—and is now all but finally discarded. His introduction, it must be confessed, is ponderous & repulsive. His horrour of the binomial theorem leads him into strange bye-paths. But he demonstartes [sic] with great rigour. The worst of it is, we are led to his conclusion, as it were thro a narrow lane—often, by its windings shutting from our view the object of our search—and never affording us a glimpse of the surrounding country— I wish I had it in my head— But, unless I quit my historical pursuits, it may be doubted whether this will ever happen. I have read thro' that clear & candid but coldhearted narration of David Hume6—and now seven of Toby Smollet[t]'s eight chaotic volumes7 are before me. To say nothing of Gibbon8 (of whom I have only read a volume)—nor of the Watsons the Russel[l]s the Voltaires &c &c known to me only by name. Alas! thou seest how I am beset.— It would be of little avail to criticise Bacons Essays:9 it is enough to say, that Stewarts opinion of them is higher than I can attain. For style, they are rich & venerable—for thinking, incorrect & fanciful. Some time ago, I bought me a copy of La Rochefoucault.10 It has been said that the basis of his system is the supposition of selflove being the motive of all our actions. It rather seems, as if he had laid down no system at all. Regarding man as a wretched, mischievous thing, little better than a kind of vermin, he represents him as the sport of his passions, above all of vanity, and exposes the secret springs of his conduct always with some wit, and ('bating the usual sacrifices of accuracy to smartness), in general, with great truth & sagacity—
I perused your theorems with some attention. They are well worthy of a place in the Courier—though not for the purpose you mention. Mr Johnston, if I mistake not, is a small Gentleman, whom it would be no honour to demolish. I have scarce[l]y done a problem since I saw you. There is one—'to find the locus of the vertex of a triangle, whose base is given, the one angle at the base being double of the other'—which I was trying some time ago— You will easily see that the locus is a hyperbola. The solution of problems, I begin to think, depends very much upon a certain slight of hand, that can be acquired, without great difficulty, by frequent practice— I am not so sure as I used to be that it is the best way of employing one's self— Without doubt it concentrates our Mathematical ideas11—and exercises the head; but little knowledge is gained by the process— If I am wrong, put me right when you send me a letter—
It is long since I was at Edinr and when I was there nothing of importance was a doing. I heard Alison12 preach. His elocution is clear—his style elegant—his ideas distinct rather than profound— Some person contrasting him and Chalmers, observed that the Prebendary of Sarum is like a glass of spruce beer—pure, refreshing & unsubstantial—the Minister of the Tron Kirk, like a draught of Johnnie Dowie's13 ale— muddy, thick & spirit-stirring— Ivory the celebrated Analyst has quitted his situation at the College14 of (I forget its name)— Wallace has succeeded him—and has left his own place to his brother— They were saying that Ivory had it in his mind to come to Edinr & become a Teacher of Mathematics— Leslie15 has published an Arithmetic—similar I suppose to that treatise contained in the supplement of the Encyclopaedia— He is to have a third class this winter— Playfair I believe is returned—and is to teach his class himself— Some time since, all the world was astonished at the 2nd number of Blackwoods16 (formerly the Edinr) magazine— The greater part of it is full of gall: but the most venomous article is the 'translation of a Chaldee manuscript' said to be found in the library of Paris— It is written in the phrase of the Scriptures—[and gives] an allegorical account of the origin & end of the late Edinr magazine—greatly to the [dis]paragement of Constable & the Editors— Most of the Authors of Edinr are characterised with great acrimony—under the likeness of birds & beasts & creeping things— Blackwood is like to be beleaguered with prosecutions for it—two are already raised against him. Replies in the shape of 'explanations,' 'letters to Drs M'Crie and Thomson'17 have been put forth—more are promised—and doubtless, rejoinders are in a state of preparation. Whatever may become of Blackwood or his antagonists—the 'reading' or rather the talking 'public' is greatly beholden to the Author. He has kept its jaws moving these four weeks—and the sport is not finished yet—
—As I have nothing more to say, I believe it will be as well to conclude here—by desiring thee to commend me to all my friends in thy neighbourhood—and to write immediately if thou hast any love for,— Thine old & trusty friend
Thomas Carlyle

Kristin Cavallari revealed that she and her husband Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler did not vaccinate their son, Camden and have chosen not to vaccinate their unborn child. Cavallari made the revelation in an interview on Thursday on Fox Business' The Independents.
The Independents' host Kennedy said to Cavallari when they were discussing flying, "With all those sneezy people and the Jenny McCarthy's of the world not vaccinating their babies, its crazy. Are you opposed to vaccines?"
Cavallari responded, "We didn't vaccinate. I read too many books about autism and the studies. There's a pediatric group called Homestead, or Home First."
"They've never vaccinated any of their children and they haven't had one case of autism. And now one in 88 boys is autistic, which is a really scary statistic."
Kennedy told Cavallari that not only was she vaccinated but that her mother had all of her children vaccinated. To which Cavallari responded, "But the vaccinations have changed over the years, there's more mercury and other stuff."
Jenny McCarthy is one of the most outspoken advocates against vaccinations. In 2007 McCarthy announced that her son Evan was diagnosed with autism. McCarthy claims that her son's autism was caused by vaccinations.
McCarthy is a spokesperson for Talk About Curing Autism. She has also fundraised for the non-profit organization in order to help families affected by autism spectrum disorders. In addition, she serves on the Board of Directors for the Generation Rescue foundation.

NEW YORK CITY — When it comes to getting one's clothes washed and dried in Manhattan, it can be a case of feast or famine.
Washers and dryers are becoming a Manhattan status symbol, according to the New York Times. Home washers and dryers are more common in the suburbs. Only about 20% of the apartments in the city have washers and dryers.
However, demand is increasing, and condominium developers are making these appliances part of the standard package. Even older buildings are relaxing longtime bans on washers and dryers.
One appraisal company president believes a washing machine can add as much as 5% to an apartment's price tag. A listing broker believes a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses mentality may be fueling the interest in washers.
Technology is also leading the resurgence. Smaller front loaders are an easier fit for an apartment, and ventless dryers don't need air pipes.
It's a different story in Hell's Kitchen on Manhattan's west side. Laundromats are disappearing, according to the New York Post.
One of the last Laundromats in Hell's Kitchen closed in late December, forcing some customers to take cabs to other locations or even hold laundry parties in apartments with the needed appliances. This closure has created a mile-long stretch without a store.
Laundromats are fleeing the area, says Christine Gorman, president of the West 55th Block Association. Gorman says residents have to go farther and farther to find a store, which decreases the quality of life.
In September, the largest Laundromat in the neighborhood closed its doors when the landlord threatened to raise its rent from $14,000 a month to $20,000 and demanded an $80,000 security deposit.
This problem really hit home when neighborhood residents had to lug their clothes through snow-packed streets during the recent Christmas snowstorm.
Councilwoman Gale Brewer has introduced a resolution to give tax breaks to owner-operated city businesses in order to deal with the lack of mom-and-pop businesses in the city.

Dennis Rodman was part of the Chicago Bull dynasty that dominated basketball in the 1990's. He was a flamboyant outrageous character. In his latest nutty stunt, he now travels to North Korea!
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman brought his basketball skills and flamboyant style — tattoos, nose studs and all — to the country with possibly the world's strictest dress code: North Korea.
Arriving in Pyongyang, the American athlete and showman known as "The Worm" became an unlikely ambassador for sports diplomacy at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. Or maybe not so unlikely: Young leader Kim Jong Un is said to have been a fan of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, when Rodman won three championships with the club.
It's my first time, I think it's most of these guys' first time here, so hopefully everything's going to be OK , and hoping the kids have a good time for the game," Rodman told reporters after arriving in North Korea on Tuesday.
Rodman and VICE's producers said the Americans hope to engage in a little "basketball diplomacy" by running a basketball camp for children and playing with North Korea's top basketball stars.
"Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to the DPRK strange? In a word, yes," said Shane Smith, the VICE founder who is host of the upcoming series, referring to North Korea by the initials of its formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "But finding common ground on the basketball court is a beautiful thing."
I wonder if Dennis Rodman will see weeping bears and crying birds?
