CANNED, Booted, bumped, down-sized, fired ...
CANNED - Booted, bumped, down-sized, fired, forced out, hated, hired, jobless, laid off, let go, out of work, out-sourced, pink-slipped, terminated, sacked, unemployed
The hard-hitting truth about being out of work, the strains that tag along and the sinking boat you feel you're riding in. This collection deals with a difficult subject in a very real way. It's strength is its realness and that is also its greatest weakness. It's not for the faint of heart. A must-have for anyone who deals in human resources, personnel, recruitment, job placement, or has been fired, laid-off and is out of work.

One Morning In Jersey City, N.J.
Verse written along the Hudson River in Jersey City, N.J.
You can hear a lot by looking around. Sometimes, standing along the Hudson River shoreline, you can dream of the freedom in the sailing beauty slipping through the waves, or question the signals proffered by a hungry seagull, or ponder why the pigeons follow you. Or you could sit ever so still and listen to the clatter of heels on the tile as the cigarette mafia heads outside for fresh air, while you slip in among them and consider the steel and glass surroundings.

AMERICAN BOY: Pushing sixty
AMERICAN BOY: Pushing Sixty
About life and growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s,1960s, and 1970s, and growing older in the 1980s, 1990s and the oughts. From the center of the Baby Boom, this working class verse begins under a wooden class room desk as an air raid siren sounds, and captures the summer spell and its simplicity in drinking water from a garden hose. It's a mystical carpet ride through the past few decades and the journey ends with the author pushing sixty questioning the loves and lives past as well as what might be over the next hill.
"I read your book through and through twice. Absolutely enjoyed it. Your words flow so freely."

Rumours are abuzz that 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson is set to appear in the final episode of American drama comedy show 'Entourage'.
Apart from Pattinson, both Eminem and Christina Aguilera have confirmed they will be making cameo appearances in the show's final episode.
Pattinson – who was catapulted to fame after playing Edward Cullen in hit film franchise Twilight – recently revealed he intends to continue his intense shooting schedule for the foreseeable future.
"I just want to work as much as I am now. I like working all the time because I spent so many years before Twilight just doing stuff for two or three months of the year. The rest of the time I"d do nothing, or I"d just have tiny little jobs," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted the 24-year-old star as saying.
The series six finale of 'Entourage' famously included cameo appearances from Matt Damon and Bono.

Amanda Decker leaves TV20, prompting shift in anchors
Published: Friday, February 12, 2010 at 7:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 12, 2010 at 7:16 p.m.
A familiar face is returning to the noon newscast at WCJB TV20 starting Monday, while a new anchor will take over the morning show.
Bob Williams will anchor TV20 News at Noon, returning to the seat he held from 1986 to 1995. He has served various roles in 25 years at the station, lately as community service manager. He will continue to work with community and public service organizations, the station said in a release.
Lisa Wolf will anchor the 6 a.m. weekday edition and work as general assignment reporter. She spent the past three years as anchor/producer at KTVH in Helena, Mont. She is from St. Petersburg and graduated from Florida State University.
They replace Amanda Decker, who signed off Friday as morning and noon anchor after nearly four years at the station.
Station officials said Decker is leaving to pursue anchoring opportunities in a larger market, but Decker said she also resigned because like many people in the industry she was given added duties without added pay.
News Director Brett Buell said Decker did a great job at the station but that he couldn't discuss personnel situations except to say the station has not had any layoffs.
With newsrooms nationwide paring down, Decker said, "I'm definitely jumping off a bridge here in unknown waters, but it's OK. I think it's going to be a good opportunity, the right time to do it and the right thing to do."
Of 210 markets nationwide, Gainesville ranks No. 160 based on view hours, according to Nielsen Media.
No. 159 is Wheeling, W.V./Steubenville, Ohio; No. 158 is Minot, Bismarck and Dickinson, S.D.; No. 161 is Sherman, Texas/Ada, Oka.; and No. 162 is Idaho Falls/Pocatello, Idaho.

I'm setting up a Cisco ASA as a client vpn server. The appliance is relying on freeradius to authenticate the users. Freeradius has in turn been configured to query OpenLDAP.
The modules/ldap file has been configured to check the groups ownership by using the following filter (members are listed under each group by using the attribute memberUid):
groupmembership_filter = "(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=%{User-Name}))"
The file freeradius/users has this statement:
DEFAULT LDAP-Group != "cn=unixadm,ou=groups,dc=services,dc=company,dc=com", Auth-Type := Reject
I would like to use multiple membership checks, for example to allow only users belonging to a set of groups. Apparently, freeradius fails if more then one group is specified.
I'm looking for a way to list more than one group.

What is Geology?
Geology is the study of the earth, its processes, its materials, its life, and how these have changed over 4.567 billion years of time. Information gathered by geoscientists helps us understand the changing climate, predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, find supplies of fossil fuels and mineral ores, maintain clean air and water, understand the motion of the earth's crust and oceans, and reconstruct the evolution of the rocky planets and life.
Is this the right course for you?
If you like science, care about the earth, are fascinated by the natural world and enjoy working outdoors, then consider Geology. Geology attracts people who wish to study the dynamics of the Earth we live on, its resources, and the most economic and sustainable way to use these resources.
Why study Geology at Trinity?
At Trinity, our staff investigate the fundamental principles of geological processes, which occur at a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. We combine fieldwork in Ireland, across Europe and around the world, with laboratory analyses, numerical modelling and theory. Students participate in this cutting-edge research whilst developing keen observational and analytical skills taught both in the field and the laboratory. Our graduates apply these skills to a wide range of geoscientific questions, aimed at understanding Earth's history and its future, and the sustainability of energy and resources required to support a growing human population.
What will you study?
In the third (Junior Sophister) year, a thorough grounding is provided in all major branches of geology. In the Senior Sophister (fourth) year you will take a series of compulsory courses, but also four optional subjects from a wide range covering both academic and applied areas of geology. In your Sophister years you will also have the opportunity to undertake several field trips to geologically active areas such as Greece and Spain.
- Mineralogy
- Crystalline Rocks 1: Igneous Processes
- Crystalline Rocks 2: Metamorphic Processes and Crustal Melting
- Geological Field Skills 1
- Geological Field Skills 2
- Sedimentology
- Stratigraphy and Mapping Techniques
- Structural Geology
- Geochemistry
FOURTH (SENIOR SOPHISTER) YEAR(M = mandatory; O = optional)

If you would like to find out more detailed information on all of the modules offered, please visit: www.tcd.ie/geology/undergraduate/modules
Study abroad
Further information on the year abroad programme, and a list of partner universities, can be found by emailing our International Student co-ordinator, Quentin Crowley: email@example.com.
Geology is a highly interactive, interdisciplinary and rewarding subject. Geology addresses critical issues such as energy, meteorology, water and mineral resources, stewardship of the environment, oceanography, reducing natural hazards for society, planetary science and more. Not only does this major allow students to work on many of society's most important challenges, but it also unlocks lucrative and personally rewarding careers in industry, academia, research and government.
Recent graduates have found professional career opportunities with mineral exploration companies, civil engineering firms, geological and environmental consultancies, oil companies, organisations based in computing and information systems, and government geological surveys. There is currently a global shortage of geoscientists. Geology graduates are also highly valued in more generalised fields of employment due to their adaptability, their many transferable skills and their experience at dealing with incomplete data sets.

Graduate Profile
Dr Catherine Duggan
For me, Geology was one of the best kept secrets ever. I chose it as one of my first year subjects in the Science degree without knowing much about it. Geology combines elements of physics, chemistry and biology, and changes the way you look at the world around you. An integral part of the course were the field trips – they were hard work, out all day (in not always the best weather) but the social element was brilliant. Because of them you get to know the whole department – students, postgrads and staff, making it much better than a purely lecture-based course.

Decent action may be enough for fans of lactating breasts to ignore poor technical qualities.
Poor production values, distracting music and tons of pixelation mar an already merely OK lactation release.
The three decent scenes presented - two girl/girl couplings and a boy/girl - contain a few good times. And the lactating breasts are all lovely and produce quite a bit of milky goodness. The final girl/girl is the highlight, however. Watching a hot Latina "business woman" fuck her dykey young assistant with a vibrator while rubbing her clit is surprisingly sexy, mostly because miss dyke seems to dig it so much.

I'm preparing a WordPress Multisite installation, and I'm looking forward to using Hyperdb among other multidatabase plugins.
It seems that Hyperdb is much more flexible, and that you can create and add databases when you need to, but on the other hand, there's a big lack of documentation on the use of this plugin.
Besides the fact that the possibilities of Hyperdb configuration are somewhat endless, is there a site or any documentation on a sample hyperdb configuration which can serve as a "basic" :) installation which can grow as your needs?
Thanks in advance for any help on this topic

Don Blankenship called safety regulators "as silly as global warming"
The death toll from Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine explosion last week has reached a total of 29 miners, the worst coal disaster in 40 years. The reckless CEO behind the disaster — Don Blankenship — cares more about his anti-science crusade than he does about the safety of its employees, as Brad Johnson explains in this repost.
The death toll from Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine explosion last week has reached a total of 29 miners, the worst coal disaster in 40 years. When the disaster occurred, Massey was contesting millions of dollars in major safety violations levied against the mine. At his Labor Day anti-union rally last year, Massey CEO Don Blankenship attacked the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), claiming it "seeks power over coal miners." He mocked both "Washington politicians" and local elected officials who attempt to ensure miner safety, calling their efforts "as silly as global warming":
We also endure a Mine Safety and Health Administration that seeks power over coal miners versus improving their safety and their health. As someone who has overseen the mining of more coal than anyone else in the history of central Appalachia, I know that the safety and health of coal miners is my most important job. I don't need Washington politicians to tell me that, and neither do you. But I also know "" I also know Washington and state politicians have no idea how to improve miner safety. The very idea that they care more about coal miner safety than we do is as silly as global warming.
Don Blankenship "" who uses his position on the boards of the National Mining Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to promote his conspiracy theories about global warming "" said he spent one million dollars to put together the "Friends of America" right-wing rally and rock concert in Holden, WV on September 7, 2009, which starred Ted Nugent, Hank Williams, Jr., and Fox News host Sean Hannity. In 2009, Blankenship also complained that "politicians get emotional" about disasters and establish "nonsensical" safety rules.

15 Responses to Don Blankenship called safety regulators "as silly as global warming"
This is an example of why I read this blog instead of newspapers for hard news as well as scientific background.
Blankenship has long sounded as if he were taking his company on a suicide mission, and his comments at the blasted mountaintop jamboree were typical and very relevant in light of last week's explosion. Nobody else appears to be reporting them.
MSM reporters may or may not be in the pocket of the coal companies, but are more likely to just be too cowardly to stand up to the rich and powerful.
Your dad must have been old school, Joe, since this does not apply to you. I only hope that this important tradition has not completely died everywhere else.
We couldn't find a more obvious villain if we tried. Blankenship is the face of evil, and it is no more apparent than right now.
And here is why I don't trust Congress to do the right thing re: climate change. via Ken Ward Jr.
"Will W.Va. delegation demand an open investigation (of mine disaster)? http://bit.ly/aIf0WT
That's the spirit Donny boy! We don't need no steenkin' badges!
For some reason, I thought of the following quote when I saw that vid:
> When fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.
Usually we rail against disembodied corporations, like ExxonMobil, but it's good to put a face on one of the vile people who want to drag us all over the precipice.
Looks like Blankenship's days might be numbered.
Stockholders are calling on the Massey board to get rid of him.
I'd expect the Board to throw him under the bus in an attempt to take some of the heat to come off of them….
If the stockholders and the Massey Board do succeed in forcing Blankenship out, this will be a weak but relevant and important market correction. Necessary, but insufficient. A legal remedy is also imperative. If it turns out that a CEO can knowingly and brazenly put his employees in harm's way, at risk of morbidity and mortality on a daily basis, and get away with it, then something is seriously, gravely wrong with our society. All of the executives and officers at Massey need to be examined and held accountable; if in the Blankenship reinvents himself in some other capacity in coal mining and is allowed to continue in his haughty lifestyle, justice will not be served.
The prevailing messaging on global warming from the fossil fuel industry, and many related quarters, seems to be more and more consistent. The tone is mysoginistic, flag-waving patriotic (or hard-core unregulated market capitalism), and more brazen in it's support of American exceptionalism.
It sounds like the last writhing cries of the fossil fuel beast. But it could as easily be the first volley of a concerted effort to oppose our progress into a clean, green, energy future.
Blankenship's statement is a challenge to regulators and lawmakers. You're silly sissies who wouldn't dare regulate us, fine us, or force change. It's the bully telling the victims that he's still in charge and there will be pain.
If governmental regulatory agencies do not respond with force then Blankenship wins, and the general public likes to be with the winners.
If the Sierra Club rushes into West Virginia with banner waving middle-class urban kids it would reinforce the Tea-Party. If Obama calls publicly for stronger regulation of mining the predominately rural poor white will seeth with resentment and quiet racism.
And yet the lives of the rural poor are demeaned every day by corporate profiteers like Massey.
We live in interesting times.
Given the recent SCOTUS decision in Citizens United Blankenship has plenty of money to throw at the political process. I guess we'll find out how much it buys him.
His logic is flawed. He claims to have mined more coal than others so he knows more than the regulators. But the regulators can take lessons from all mining which is more than any one operator can do. They can also investigate accidents in a professional manner, something that operators can not do owing to conflict of interest. So, the regulators will always know more about mine safety than any one operator so long as they bother to do their training.
As a demagogue though he is pretty classic in setting up an us vrs. them feeling.
Do you think Massey has somebody like Ed Norton's job in fight club working for them? Here's how you can calculate the economic value of a coal miner's life to Massey:
Interesting point: the Bush administration EPA lowered its estimation of the "value of a statistical life" by $900,000 between 2003 and 2008. Is it possible that Massey's lobbying and connections in the government had something to do with it?
Anne wrote: "If it turns out that a CEO can knowingly and brazenly put his employees in harm's way, at risk of morbidity and mortality on a daily basis, and get away with it, then something is seriously, gravely wrong with our society."
One guest on today's Thom Hartmann show was Ellen Smith, managing editor of Mine Safety & Health News. According to her, CEOs like Blankenship are very hard to prosecute for safety violations. On the other hand, Blankenship's record may be blatant enough to nullify that difficulty. Smith, IIRC, says 24 of his bituminous mines have worse than average rates of violation.
Unfortunately, I can't check this online. The latest newsletter on the site (minesafety.com) dates from November 2007.
Akwag wrote: "Interesting point: the Bush administration EPA lowered its estimation of the "value of a statistical life" by $900,000 between 2003 and 2008. Is it possible that Massey's lobbying and connections in the government had something to do with it?"
It's possible, but I don't think Massey was involved. As Carl Pope describes it in Strategic Ignorance, this "misunderestimation" of the value of human life came from the Office of Information and Regulatory Assessment (OIRA). Created during the Reagan administration, it had the original function of ensuring that every federal regulation was analyzed to see if its benefits were justified by its costs. John Graham (profiled by Pope on pages 51-52) was chosen as its first administrator. He had the power to send any regulation back to the agency that produced it for reconsideration. Pope discusses on pages 63-66 and 68-72 how he used that power. In sum, I think Graham's motivation was ideology rather than greed.
"Blankenship's statement is a challenge to regulators and lawmakers. You're silly sissies who wouldn't dare regulate us, fine us, or force change."
But coal mines were being inspected, written up, and fined. And, according to them, the fines had become significant. In the past they had simply paid the fines as a cost of doing business. But once fine amounts rose they picked a different strategy.
They chose to block up the system by appealing all(?) fines. Why this made sense to them, I don't know. Did they expect another Republican president and a decrease in regulation and give them amnesty for previous sins?
When Obama came to office he added another four judges to the ten currently working in an attempt to get through the backlog. (Hindsight suggests that four weren't enough, but hindsight usually makes better decisions….)
This reminds me vividly of a character in Mark Twain's Letters from the Earth, a coal-dealer who's frank, self-serving private prayers (e.g. for a collapse in rival soft-coal prices that will bankrupt a competitor) are always granted, because such prayers rank so high on the sincerity scale, and any donation from the 'meanest, greediest white man who ever lived' is such a sacrifice: "Another nickel from Abner" the heavenly host proclaim, every Sunday, as his donation is received. Somewhere in there is a distinction between professing and professional Christians…

Here's the call:
And here's the response:
Here's the call:
And here's the response:
Get up to speed here by reading down and take a look at Hoodline and StreetsblogSF and here's the short version about the campaign to "save" a redundant bus stop what's nine seconds away from another. (And here's a parody blog post that has a lot of images on this topic.)
Now take a look at this:
"Volunteers Needed to Help Us Save the 21 Hayes Muni Line!
Posting ID : A1050191362
Date Posted : 20 days ago
Category : Volunteers
Help us save the 21 Hayes MUNI line! The San Francisco Municipal Transport Agency (SFMTA) is currently in the process of removing bus stops on the 21 Hayes MUNI line. This will result in an increase in the number of passengers at downstream/upstream bus stops, as well as increased pressure on the already overcrowded 5 Fulton line.
We need a group of volunteers to stand at bus stops in two-hour shifts, and inform passengers about the impending changes. Volunteers will be collecting signatures on a petition to tell the SF District Supervisor, London Breed, that passengers of the 21 Hayes and 5 Fulton want to keep the existing stops, which will prevent an increase in the number of passengers at downstream/upstream bus stops, as well as increased pressure on the already overcrowded 5 Fulton line.
Volunteers SHOULD NOT be shy, SHOULD be morning people, and SHOULD be ready to collect as many signatures as possible. A bonus if volunteers are from the Nopa/Alamo Square/Western Addition/Hayes Valley neighborhoods, and/or live near the 21 Hayes line, and the 5 Fulton MUNI lines.
TIME(S): 7AM-10AM on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings (4/15, 4/16, 4/17)"
So these hyper-enthusiastic people got paid? So they weren't volunteers at all?
And who's the mastermind behind these efforts – who's paying the cash bonuses?
This kind of thing makes a mockery of district elections, IMO.
Anyway, it appears as if the SFMTA will enshrine this useless bus stop tomorrow, May 5, 2015…
Or "recent graduates" too? ('Cause nobody wants an oldster, you know, a geriatric bunny, a daddy rabbit such as myself, at their house – it appears that perkiness is the order of the day)
Here's the new SFMTA MUNI bus ad from OneLessThingSF:
Oh, and there's craigslist too.
On It Goes in start-uplandia…
Well, here it is, "OPENING SOON!" as promised:
Click to expand
So this chain already has 1800 or so outlets, so let's call this place at Geary and Masonic Store #1801.
The thing is, regular San Franciscans, not the electeds, you know, just regular people, love chain stores and here's the test: OPEN ONE UP AND SEE IF PEOPLE SHOP THERE. You dig? That's why chain stores are banned or are effectively banned in certain areas under certain conditions.
If San Franciscan didn't like chain stores, then chain stores wouldn't open up here in the first place, or, if they did, then nobody would shop there and then the chain stores would close up and leave.
Now this particular chain store is hidden away, like a porno shop, and that helped it get approved. you see, we like chain stores but we don't want to see them all over the place.
On It Goes…
I'l tell you, I don't object to the Panera Bread coming to 2675 Geary at Masonic (but some people do).
Here's the ad – apply for a job if you want:
(The Panera will be right next to the new Chipotle. Truly, the City Centre Mall Has It All.)
All the deets about Panera, after the jump
Well, this here's a scene from Masonic in the 94117:
And I'm thinking, gee, what makes this VW "green?" Its diesel engine? Mmmm…
Anyway, I don't know if they still advertise cars in the 415 from the 425, but, oh man, check out the Yelp, and the somewhat-hidden Yelp.
And what's up with "TDI Motors?" What's its relationship with Green Car Co of Washington State? Is this old wine in new bottles? IDK, but mmmm… And what's the relationship with Volkswagen? And hey, isn't TDI a trade name or a trademark or a service mark or something like that, you know, owned by the VW Group, or someplace like that?
1. TDI does not equal green.
2. If somebody calls me from out of state to do a car deal in craigslist SFBay territory, I don't think the conversation is going to last long, JMO.
Check it out, $10.30 an hour to be a paralegal assistant, or an assistant paralegal, or something.
Can the feds get away with this? I suppose they can.
Oh well.
And oh yes, "a paralegal certificate is preferred" for this gig what pays 30% less than what the typical worker at San Francisco sole In-N-Out Burger makes up at the Fish Wharf:
"ID: SCA-458, Location: San Francisco, Program: SEE
Wage/Hr: $10.30, Hours/Week: 40, Minimum Age: 55″
Like all these tickets are fake, per the SFPD:
Click to expand
So if you try to use your fake ticket at the box office it won't work, sorry.
Here's a close-up from from Cornell Banard:
How can you tell a fake from a real ticket? I don't think you can.
Many many fakes are out there:
@KimKardashian I got sold a fake ticket to outside lands fest to see Kanye!! Can you help me????
Waiting around by boxoffice watching all manner of teary-eyed white 20-somethings stomp away screaming on phones abt fake tix
Don't buy tickets from scalpers. Judging by the amount of tears at the entry gate, they are almost all fake. Duh.
So, choose wisely.
(You can always try to go over or under The Wire, but that kind of thing probably won't work.)
[UPDATE: It's back, after being hounded off of CL – here it is for the low, low price of $995 per month as of August 4, 2014.]
Or $1150, that's the latest price for 1880 Page Street #3B. Excerpts from craigslist:
"Video Tour at http://youtu.be/8OEgeklUCDQ

This is a rent control apartment.
Students, international students, co-signers all welcome.
Studio / 1 Bath in Haight Ashbury
Rent: $1,150
Square feet: 200″
So I'm thinking there's gotta be a kitchen associated with this apartment somewhere, right?
Hey, what about 1880 Page Street #3A?
Well, I think I've found the kitchen.
Mmmm. It might be hard to believe but when we were deep into our Great Recession back in aught-ten, you could rent a two-bed on Page in the Upper Haight for a mere $1600 per month. See?
"Price: $1,595
2 Bedrooms
1 full Bathroom
650 sqft"
If this two-bedroom unit rented for $1600 back in 2010 and the same tenant(s) is/are still there, then the current rent is going to be $1600-something per month, let's guess, assuming no pass-throughs from the landlord.
Let me now direct you to Topic No. 359: Section 6.15c(3) Petitions Based on Proportional Rent.
Uh oh.
But hey, maybe a new master tenant moved in to the two-bed just this year in high-rent 2014. In that case the rent could be what, like $4000 per month? IDK, I'm not up on things, pricewise. Anyway, imagining this, then maybe $1,000 or $1,250 or something like that per month is a fair price for just 30% of the apartment?
But then, no kitchen.
Uh oh:
"California Civil Code section 1941 states that when a landlord rents property to a tenant as a place to live, the property must be in a "habitable" condition. ("Habitable" means fit to live in; "uninhabitable" means not fit to live in.) Section 1941 also states that the landlord must repair problems that make the property uninhabitable – except for problems caused by the tenant or the tenant's guests, children or pets. In order for the property to be habitable, it must have … [a] kitchen with a sink, which cannot be made of an absorbent material (for example, wood)…"
Oh, and lastly, "SLEEPING ROOM?" Hey, you're a naive international student right? Well, here's your new sleeping room, hurray!
In the words of John Malkovich, WTF to that.
Or maybe Unit #3 used to be a three bedroom?
In closing, "Amenities: Carpet"
In closing, never forget Kitchens.

Ubuntu Hour, September 2, 2011 7-8pm at Misty Mountain Cafe
Submitted by charm on Thu, 09/01/2011 - 12:44
I will be hosting an Ubuntu Hour tomorrow between 7 and 8pm at Misty Mountain Cafe (located at 33 Queen Street South in downtown Kitchener, Ontario). Anyone is welcome to attend. We'll be at the back of the cafe. I'll have 32-bit Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs as well as the 64 bit version of Ubuntu server available for anyone who wants one.
Discussion is open, but one of the things that would be nice to cover is Software Freedom Day which is rapidly approaching.

Dempsey leads MLS with eight goals. He has at least a goal or an assist in each of Seattle's last six games. It is the second time in his career that Dempsey has had a six-game scoring streak in MLS, having done it previously in 2005 while with the New England Revolution.
Obafemi Martins added a 75th-minute goal for Seattle. The Sounders have won three straight to improve to 5-2-1. Dillon Serna scored in the 62nd minute for the Rapids (3-2-2).
Neagle, a Federal Way native, gave the Sounders a 1-0 lead 15 seconds into the only minute of first-half stoppage time, and was his third goal of the year.
Dempsey made it 2-0 at the outset of the 47th minute, running onto a loose ball at the top of 6-yard box that Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin had slapped away, but couldn't latch onto.
Then early in the 52nd minute, Chad Marshall headed Gonzalo Pineda's corner kick toward Dempsey, and Dempsey headed it in just over Irwin's reach.
Neagle assisted on the goal by Martins, which was his third goal of the season.
Seattle is now unbeaten in its last four games. The Sounders return to CenturyLink Field on Saturday to face Philadelphia.

|Weight (g)
|Silver Melt Value
|Full Melt Value
|Monster Box
|99.9% silver
The Silver Monster Box is the United States' Mint shipping box for the American Silver Eagle. This green plastic box is 15" x 8.5" x 4.5" (and will weigh around 42 pounds depending on shipping packaging used by their sellers). It is sealed tight with plastic straps labeled with the mint's location which is currently West Point. The boxes are also likewise labeled with the Mint's seal molded into the plastic. A serial number is written in indelible ink on the box. The Monster Box contains 500 BU American Silver Eagles. They are in 25 rolls, each roll having 20 of the silver bullion coins. The rolls are semi-translucent white plastic with a green cap having the Mint's seal on it.
The United States' Mint does not offer the American Silver Eagle Monster boxes directly to the public. These boxes are only shipped to "authorized purchasers". In 1986 when these rounds were first available there were twenty-five such distributors. These distributors pay a premium for each coin over the current market value for silver. On October 1st, 2010 this premium was reset to $2/coin. These buyers must order no less than 25,000 coins at a time.
The authorized purchasers must fit the following criteria:
1) They have to be a "market-maker" in silver bullion coins (someone who has experience and is established in selling and buying silver coin bullion).
2) They must have a liquid two-way market for these coins.
3) An internationally-accepted accounting firm has to audit them once a year.
4) They have to have an existing diverse retail base in order to distribute the coins.
5) And a tangible minimum net-worth of $5 million (a letter of credit will do).
The American Silver Eagle is the largest one dollar coin the United States Mint has ever produced. They are one troy ounce of 99.9% silver (there is a very small residual of copper from the refining). A troy ounce is slightly heavier than the English measure system ounce. One troy ounce weighs 31.103 grams, while an American standard ounce weighs 28.35 grams. As an example of size difference: the American Silver Eagle is 40.6mm (1.598") in diameter, and the Morgan silver dollar is 1.5" (38.1 mm) in diameter. The Morgan dollar weighs 26.73 grams and is 90% silver and 10% copper thus containing 0.7736 troy oz of silver.
The obverse has by Adolph A. Weinman's well loved "Walking Liberty" designed used on the United States half dollar from 1916-1947. The reverse has John Mercanli Herald design including the traditional Bald Eagle with national shield and thirteen stars in the field above. Even though this silver bullion has denominational value of one US dollar, the Act of Congress that authorized these coins stipulated that the mint was to sell them for market value plus whatever processing fee necessary to make a profit from them in addition to producing a denominational coin.
These boxes are perfect for those who want to invest in large quantities of silver. They make acquiring and storage very easy and since each box not only represents a quantity of a singular 500ozt, but it can be sold off in smaller quantities. Either as 25 rolls of 20ozt, or 500 rounds of 1ozt silver bullion. These "Monster Boxes" provides a flexibility that large silver bullion bars cannot offer.

Exclusive: Lee Brice Lyric Video for "I Don't Dance"
Lee's new single doubled as his first dance with wife Sara.
When some guys get married, they let their brides-to-be select the song for their first dance. But when you're a sharp yet thoughtful songwriter like Lee Brice, you sit down and write your own.
For Lee's April 2013 marriage to Sara Reeveley, the ACM multi-award nominee (whose five nods include one for Male Vocalist) penned the winkingly titled "I Don't Dance" as a wedding gift.
Now Lee has released the personal song as his latest single, and shared the lyric video exclusively with Country Weekly.

Released: Feb 01st, 2000
Running Time: 75
Company: Black Wolf Entertainment
Cast: Gemini, Ken Taylor, Pierre (I), Dante Franklin, Ty Jones, Mocha (IV)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Chocolate Candy 2 is sweet, both in attitude and appearance, a perfect rental choice for the customer who wants to see romance while watching brothers get it on.
This rather romantic tape features three scenes with couples indulging in plenty of kissing and foreplay. As might be expected, the cast is black, young, attractive and very hung. There isn't even a trace of a plot, just wall-to-wall sex. To its credit, the tape is well-lit and very well shot. The cast members appear to dig one another, and once the fucking starts, the cocks stay good and hard. The cumshots are well-documented, splashy affairs.

While the causes of some of the earlier extinction events have been identified and explained, the most recent one; the Pleistocene, has remained a controversial event without a clear cut answer. That is no longer the case, as there is a clear answer supported by the evidence that reveals exactly what happened to wipe out so many animal species over the entire globe. While a gradual extinction taking place over thousands of years has been the favored theory since it is a better fit for the current two popular extinction theories; climate change and/or over hunting, the evidence is actually more supportive of a sudden extinction event that occurred Earth wide at the same time.
"The extinction chronology of North American Pleistocene mammals therefore can be characterized as a synchronous event that took place 12,000-10,000 radiocarbon years B.P. Results favor an extinction mechanism that is capable of wiping out up to 35 genera across a continent in a geologic instant."
What occurred in North American, would logically have occurred Earth wide, since the Pleistocene was a global event and was not limited to North America.
A sudden global extinction event is of course in complete conflict with both the Climate change theory and the Over Hunting theory, neither of these theories can account for such an event. The timing of this sudden extinction has also always been linked to the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene since it is the extinction event itself that is the dividing marker that separates the two periods of geological time and marks the end of the last Ice Age. The lost of the Ice Age ice sheets is tied to the extinction event, and this connection is not coincidental.
Sudden events require a sudden trigger event that sets them off. Increasing evidence has been mounting in the last few years, that tie a comet impact to the Pleistocene extinction event and the end of the Ice Age. Evidence has come to light that indicates that a comet impact occurred on the Canadian Ice Sheet during the last stage of the Ice Age, the Younger Dryas, which was approximately 1,500 years long. (see link section on original page) Currently it is theorized that the comet impact occurred at the beginning of the Younger Dryas cooling period and caused the down turn in temperature and caused at least some of the extinctions by climate change rather than just by direct impact destructive events. As the evidence is considered, it is clear that the impact event occurred not at the beginning of the Younger Dryas, but at the end of it, which puts the Pleistocene Extinction event squarely where it has always been believed to have occurred. One of the key reasons for this, is the association of Mega or Super floods which occurred at the end of the Younger Dryas as the Ice Age ended, with the expected results of a series of comet impacts on an Ice Sheet. Those huge erosive drainage events are what sets the end of the last Ice age advance apart from other stages of the Ice Age, for those huge releases of water created landforms that were not created by earlier retreats of the Ice Sheets. These huge and unique landforms are seen in the vastly oversized river valleys that drain from areas once covered by the last advance of the Ice Sheets like the Mississippi river valley, and in streamlined land forms which were subjected to sheet flooding and glacial drainage valleys which today remain like isolated canyons with no rivers that flow through them.
What happen is the Ice Sheet impacts caused a very large and sudden release of glacial melt water which flooded out across the surrounding landscape and flowed into the seas. The largest out pouring occurred in the Hudson Bay area where the impact triggered the release of ice that had been backed up and trapped in the bay. This sudden emptying of the bay is seen in ocean floor sediments across the floor of the Atlantic Ocean which contains a layer of small stones dropped from icebergs as they melted and dropped the stones which had been carried in the ice. This huge release of ice from Hudson Bay affected global sea levels and trigged a massive surge event into the empting bay. Combined with the very large releases of glacial melt water from other parts of the Ice Sheet, enough water poured into the oceans to noticeably raise global sea levels. This rise in sea level flooded the edges of Ice sheets and glaciers in other parts of the world, which at the end of the Ice Age, were already prone to surging, to surge en masse in a global event. Like a row of giant dominos, huge sections of the former Ice Sheets surged into the rising seas, creating a run away chain reaction of flooding and surging.
As the seas rose, the water began to back up the rivers causing them to over flow their newly created banks and flood the surrounding land, as shown by glacial drop stones being found on these banks, showing that the rivers backed up while carrying rock bearing glacial ice. Further evidence for this flooding is seen in the discovery of whale bones in the state of Michigan and in other recent marine fossils which are sometimes found far from the sea in places where they could not have reached in any other way. Another proof of the occurrence of the extent of this late glacial flooding event is the presence of marine diatoms found in the upper Midwest. Marine diatoms are used as a marker to identify past marine flooding events, and the evidence shows that the sea water rose high enough to reach the edges of the retreating Ice Sheets, effectively flooding the world for a brief period of time until the Earth's crust shifted and land areas rebounded and the sea floors where depressed back down to their pre-Ice Age positions.
The evidence indicates that the Pleistocene Extinction event was caused by a global impact triggered Ice Age out burst flood event, which is why it was global, sudden and small animals survived more than large animals. This explains why the Clovius culture disappeared, what happened to the Ice Age hunting groups and how they were replaced by the later farmers. The Pleistocene was flushed away and replaced by the Holocene as the water drained and the survivors inherited a largely emptied landscape. It was a restart, and why we see a major break in the geological record at the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary.

Just a tad. A very small amount increases the taste of the melon. Some things, people over do it with salt but like with most things in life, just a little makes it enjoyable.

This was one of the BESt experiences I have ever had on vacation and absolutely the best experience for the Watkins Glen wine festival (this was our 5th year)
It is one thing to feel relaxed and content, have an amazing view and have a beautiful, clean place to stay but on top of that, the hospitality at Admiral Peabody's was AMAZING. Olga and Jeff were the sweetest and extremely accommodating.
We all left this place sad because we didn't want to ever leave. We already booked our weekend for next year and are already looking forward to seeing Olga and Jeff (and China :) ) again next year!

Justice of the Latke
Ralph Gardner Jr. at the Fifth Annual Latke Festival
I was of course honored when asked to be a judge at the fifth annual latke festival, even though I pretend to know little about food and less about latkes. But latkes are one of those comfort foods about which everybody qualifies as an expert.
Besides, I've thoroughly enjoyed attending past latke festivals at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It's organized by the catering company Great Performances, and this year was moved to the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th street.
But here's the problem: As much as I appreciated the privilege of being asked, I didn't want anything to interfere with the pleasure I take in wandering among the dozen or more stations manned by some of New York's top chefs, consuming latkes at my own speed and even forgoing some latkes completely.
In other words, I didn't want to eat latkes under pressure. Also, my normal routine, to the extent that one can be said to have a routine at a latke festival, is to make a beeline for the bar and the vodka because, as any connoisseur can tell you, latkes, much like blini with caviar and crème fraiche, go better with alcohol.
I was concerned that Liz Neumark, the founder and CEO of Great Performances, might forbid me any refreshment stronger than seltzer, for fear it might dull my palate, not to mention my intellect, and render any latke-related judgments suspect.
I knew she had nothing to worry about. Fortunately, she was distracted elsewhere, with lines forming at the 17 latke stations. Among this year's participants were Delicatessen, Veselka, the Vanderbilt, the Plaza Hotel, Commerce and Stone Park Café. Also, I knew that, fundamentally, this was to be an unserious event. One had to look no further than the Hanukkah gelt—chocolate coins—sprinkled across the bar tables and the waiters circulating and serving utterly extraneous hors d'oeuvres such as pigs in blankets.
"It was just a little snack," Ms. Neumark remarked unapologetically. "It's a Jewish event. There's never enough food."
More of a concern was how was I going to consume 17 latkes and still make it to the jury room, or wherever my fellow judges and I would be deliberating, let alone home on the subway.
Was I supposed to take a bite of each and toss the rest? Or just swish the candidate latke around my mouth like fine wine and spit it out? Of course not. Indeed, I knew how I was going to base my decision as soon as I tasted the latke from Stone Park Café. It was a braised short rib latke with smoked crème fraiche and sour cherry compote, and my eventual winner.
The mark of a great latke is that it defeats all willpower, utterly sabotages any sense of self-restraint, and leaves you craving a second latke. I felt the same way after visiting Commerce, directly across the room from Stone Park Café. Going the classic route, their deeply satisfying treat consisted of a scallion latke with farmer's cheese, smoked salmon and caviar.
I could have planted myself there all night, consuming their latkes until it came time to leave, or at least refresh my cocktail.
I probably need to offer something of a disclaimer. I'm not wild about sweet potatoes or butternut squash (what self-respecting 6-year-old is?), and thus don't consider myself capable of fairly judging six of the latkes made using one or the other of those ingredients—even though I considered the taste of the Garden Court at the Asia Society's sweet potato and kimchi latke pleasantly surprising.
However, that apparently wasn't enough to disqualify me, since at least one of the judges confided that she's a vegetarian and wasn't going anywhere near Delicatessen's sweet potato latke slider with ground brisket, Veselka's latke with braised pork or the Butterfly's aged beef basted latke with sliced prime rib.
Eventually, it came time to adjudicate. Am I allowed to share our confidential deliberations? I assume so, since one of my colleagues, Jonathan LaPook, a doctor who is chief medical correspondent for "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley," filmed the whole thing for future broadcast.
Controversy erupted almost immediately—the other judges included Jason Ackerman, the co-founder and CEO of FreshDirect; Elinor Tatum, the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Amsterdam News; and Amanda Hesser, the co-founder and CEO of Food 52, a culinary website, and also a former New York Times food writer, who kept the vote tally—because Commerce had apparently broken the rules by having a fryer at its station, thus giving it an unfair advantage over the competition. Fryers weren't allowed beyond the kitchen staging area because of the smoke they produced.
I was prepared to give them a pass. As far as I'm concerned, all is fair in latke smackdowns. Besides, look at all the calories we'd already consumed. We were probably all going to have heart attacks and die anyway, so who cares?
Needless to say, my attitude didn't prevail and Commerce, which might have won, was disqualified. The eventual winner was Mae Mae Café, whose submission was a potato pancake with maple mascarpone and cranberry bourbon sauce. There was also a people's choice award. That went to Benchmark, which served a caraway-scented latke with short rib pastrami, truffled sauerkraut and mustard crème.
My evening, sadly, ended in culinary frustration, and not only because Stone Park Café, my first choice, lost. Also, Dough, a bakery that provided sufganiyot—jelly doughnuts—had run out by time I returned to its station, destroying my dessert plans. Fortunately, I'd pocketed a lot of Hanukkah gelt, anticipating just such a possibility.

Epic. And fixing it was going in circles. I'm not sure who wrote the instructions but I've now taken a cultural tour of Failbook's Developer Department and have the start of a migraine.
Do you think they can hire someone there who knows how to write instructions clearly? Google was a snap but their instructions were clear with screenshots.
Failbook is not worth the bother so I quit and removed the plugin. It seems so far every FB plugin I have tried has had the same instruction problems.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri House committee is considering legislation that would outlaw a phenomenon known as "revenge pornography."
"Revenge porn" is posting online sexually explicit photos or videos of ex-romantic partners as a way of humiliating them.
Sponsoring Rep. Kevin Engler told the House public safety committee Thursday that revenge porn can have a devastating effect on a person's life. The Farmington Republican's legislation would prohibit someone from observing and then disclosing images of intimate sexual acts without the other person's consent.
Disclosing the explicit images would be considered a felony and is punishable by up to four years in prison.
The panel did not vote on Engler's bill. Other states, including Pennsylvania and Virginia, are considering similar measures.
Revenge Porn is HB 1203

FreeSWITCH 1.0.2 with New Codecs and Fax for VoIP
Free VoIP platform software FreeSWITCH is now in version 1.0.2. Enhancements include a fax module and new codecs for higher sampling rates.
Thanks to a cooperative effort with Polycom, FreeSWITCH can use Polycom's Siren codecs for wideband and super-wideband audio. The software also adds a free open source codec using Constrained Energy Lapped Transform (CELT) technology that should provide sample rates of 44.1 to 48 KHz with minimal latency, especially suited for speech and music.
The FreeSWITCH community also added new modules for designing telephony applications. The release announcement especially highlights the community's contribution of mod_fax for the fax capability. And the fs_cli command line client allows admins to connect to local and remote FreeSWITCH instances from a single terminal.
FreeSWITCH source code is available as a tarball, but also as binaries from the OpenSUSE Build Service and unofficial packages for Ubuntu. The software is under Mozilla Public License (MPL).

Wow,i love your work! Can I ask what kind of paper you use?
My sister and I may have talked about sleeping inside an octopus once or twice. This one looks absolutely adorable and cuddly. There needs to be such thing as an octopus pillow/blanket combo with a squooshy head, and fabric tentacles. Perhaps you could expand upon that sometime.
(Awesome work!)

Very close to where I needed to be. Free parking
Some lack of cleanliness in the room, presence of a couple bugs in the bathroom, dirty floor & tub. Breakfast not even worth attempting @ $15+ per person. Even if it is a buffet, continental breakfast @ Best Western is the way to go. Expensive

Shell to Build Canada Water Project to Make Up for Lost Capital
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which announced plans to give up exploring for natural gas in northwest British Columbia's Klappen area, has agreed to build a water recycling project to help make up for lost capital.
Shell Canada will construct the project though the issuance of C$20 million ($20.3 million) in royalty credits support from the province in recognition of "upfront capital spent by the company" in an area of cultural and spiritual value with "vital salmon-bearing waterways such as the Stikine, Nass and Skeena rivers," the province said in a statement.
Close relations with aboriginal communities are important so the company will "now focus on growth opportunities with better commercial and geological prospects in northeast British Columbia," Lorraine Mitchelmore, president and country chair of Shell Canada, said in the statement. "Good water management is central to sustainable operations."
Annita McPhee, president of the Tahltan central council, said, "We want to acknowledge Shell for its decision to respect the wishes of the Tahltan Nation by giving up its plans to develop coal-bed methane in the Klappan."

Two New Employees Added by City of Auburndale

Last Modified: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 9:27 p.m.
AUBURNDALE | The city has added two new employees — one in a newly created position and the other with a new title for an old job.
Merissa Green, a former Ledger reporter, is taking the reins of a new position: communication and information manager.
Matthew Beeman is the new deputy finance director, a position formerly known as utility billings superintendent.
City Manager Bobby Green said he had been considering adding a communication manager for the past several budget years. This year, with five vacant positions, staff decided one could be converted.
"There are just a lot of exciting things going on, and social media presents a great opportunity for us to engage our citizenry," he said.
Merissa Green will be in charge of marketing the city and its events, handling public communications for the Police and Fire departments, and posting city updates on social media sites. Social media postings will include news such as boil water notices, road closures and events.
"It's a new department that I'm helping to grow from the ground up," she said. "I'm very excited about starting something new and innovative."
The communications and information manager's starting salary is $35,928 per year. The deputy finance director's is $53,388 per year.
Beeman, an Auburndale High School graduate, was introduced to the City Commission at the Sept. 23 meeting. He has worked with an auditor's firm and is a certified public accountant with a master's degree in accounting.
Under the direction of the public utilities director, Beeman will manage the utility billing division, which handles accounts and billing for water and sewer services.
"I'm very excited to be back working in the community I grew up in," he said.
Bobby Green said the deputy finance director position is geared for training the city's next finance director "down the road at some point."
"I think both new positions will really complement the city of Auburndale workforce," he said.
