"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
A copy of Detective Comics #27, which marks the debut of Batman, sold at auction today for more than $1 million, barely breaking a record set just three days ago by Action Comics #1.
The Associated Press reports the Certified Guaranty Company-graded 8.0 issue, sold by Heritage Auction Galleries on behalf of an anonymous party, was purchased for $1,075,500. Earlier estimates had the May 1939 issue selling for $100,000. However, as CBGExtra notes, bids had already reached $400,000 by the time the auction opened.
Before this week, the record for the most expensive comic book was $317,000, set in 2009 by a copy of Action Comics #1.
That's pretty impressive.
That's fantastic, I hope the buyer takes care of it like the last owner did…..
I wonder how long it'll take for THAT record to get broken.
Damm!! That's a lot of money, is someone speculating with comics? This is gonna be the next crash of the economy.
Thus providing quantitative and definitive evidence that Batman is better than Superman… or something like that.
Ha ha. Superman can suck it.
"Thus providing quantitative and definitive evidence that Batman is better than Superman… or something like that."
Probably not — if both auctions were simultaneous, maybe. But chances are that people saw the report about Superman going for a million and then thought about buying Batman. Of course, if nothing else, it may show that Bat-fans have slightly deeper pockets.
This is getting silly…
I wonder how much my foil-holographic-enhanced Detective Comics #27 will go for.
I was following the Heritage Auction before it went live (I am a member) and was excited to see Detective 27 look like it would make a run at a half million, and it was already beating the previous record when Action 1 broke a million. Detective 27 has been trending higher than Action over the past decade in various auctions because of the popularity. These really were just going to do what they were going to do at auction, independent of each other (and an auction is different from a private sale)
This is a good sign for the economy as art markets heat up, you can also look that up historically.
Not flaming people, I enjoy this board. I'm just stating some facts.
Hahaha…once again, SUPERMAN has rained down on Batman's parade by smashing his erstwhile record!
With the new $1.5 million record set by Action Comics #1, suck it up Buttman! =P
I have in my possession a copy of Detective Comics #27. It is apparently an EXACT REPRINT of DETECTIVE COMICS #27. It has a "Jacket" over the actual comic and as far as I can tell was reprinted by DC Super Stars.
Can anyone tell me if this has any value??
i use to have this comic when i was 14 years old and it was stolen from me wish i could find it again

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time (Gather ye rosebuds)
by Robert Herrick
Stanza 4 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 13-14
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
- Since youth is fleeting, old age sucks, and death is always right around the corner, the speaker urges the virgins to make use of what they have ("use your time") while they still can.
- In other words, don't be "coy," meaning shy, reserved, or inactive.
- The speaker doesn't just encourage the virgins to "use" their time, but to "go marry" (as in, to go get married!) while they still can.
- So this whole time – all that stuff about death being close, youth being short – the speaker's been gearing up to talk about marriage? Yes indeedy.
Lines 15-16
For having lost but once your prime
You may for ever tarry.
- The virgins should get married, the speaker suggests, because once they lose their "prime" (i.e., their youth and beauty) they might not get another chance.
- "Tarry" means "delay" or "prolong," and here the speaker wants to imply that if the virgins don't get married while they can, they might put it off (marriage) forever!

Palestinian documentary filmmaker Emad Burnat, whose Oscar-nominated film 5 Broken Cameras received funding from PBS's POV, was detained Feb. 20 at Los Angeles International Airport after arriving in the country for Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony. The news that Burnat had been held for one and a half hours was first tweeted by friend and fellow documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.
Burnat later released a statement confirming that he and his family had been detained and threatened with deportation and that they had been forced to provide proof that he had been nominated for an Oscar.
"Although this was an unpleasant experience, this is a daily occurrence for Palestinians, every single day, throughout the West Bank," Burnat said. "Ours was a very minor example of what my people face every day."
5 Broken Cameras is the first Palestinian documentary to be nominated for an Oscar. It will also be screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York during the museum's upcoming program celebrating the 25th anniversary of POV.

What's special:
The downside:
Our review:
PS 87 has long been one of the most popular schools in District 3, known for its passionate teachers, active parents, commitment to the arts, and project-based academics in classrooms that mix children of all abilities. Parents chip in to plan fundraisers, help out on the playground and advocate to improve the quality of the food.
Hallways are filled with creative and inspired students work. Social studies units begin with the child and expand outward from "me" and "my family" to the neighborhood, city, state and world. Kids take trips to the Central Park Zoo, the botanical gardens and area museums. A 4th grade teacher begins with one big question: "What is Freedom?" and children explore this question as they study Native Americans and slavery. (The kids put Henry Hudson's first mate on "trial" for trespassing on native land.) A parent said these units incorporate "civics and history and math and science and parental involvement."
Although parents raise money for lots of extras, like chess, ballroom dance, yoga, and art, it's the quality of the teaching they praise the most: "We have consistently, outrageously strong teachers and I think this is why the shuffle of leadership hasn't affected us that much," said Rebecca Levey. Over the past decade the school has seen five principals come and go, which some attribute to bad luck (one principal was in an accident, one retired, the most recent left to lead a charter school) but others suggest is the flip side of an environment where teachers have lots of freedom and in some cases soar to cult-like status: "That teacher is kind of famous," said a parent as we exited a classroom on a tour.
Parents hope the leadership will stabilize with Monica Berry. She is credited with building a stronger relationship with the American Museum of Natural History, adding art in the upper grades and bringing in chess and a popular dance program. Still, only a minority of teachers feels that she has a clear vision for the school and gives them helpful feedback, according to the 2011 Learning Environment Survey. [In the 2012 Learning Environment Survey, two-thirds of the teachers said they mistrust the principal.]
Berry said she has made communication a priority. "We noticed that information seemed to travel through the parent community faster than the teacher community," she told us by phone. Initiatives to improve include more classroom visits followed by sit-downs with teachers to share feedback and better channels of communication via iPads and email. A parent said, "She's learning, doing what she can do, every year she's getting better."
For all the wonderful civics and history lessons, some parents and staff are distressed that PS 87 is becoming increasingly white and middle class. "I would like to see more diversity," said a parent of two from outside the zone. While the staff is racially diverse, it's hard to spot even one brown-skinned child in the lower grades since the rezoning. There is hope that over time an infusion of magnet grant money aimed at black-, white- and Hispanic-dominant schools in District 3 will make all the schools appealing enough to lure parents across color lines.
After-school classes include fencing, knitting, Afro-Caribbean percussion, gymnastics, hip-hop, radio theater, judo, cooking, basketball, comics and softball. There is a fee for the after school program.
SPECIAL EDUCATION: SETSS (special education teacher support services) and ICT (integrated co-teaching) classes on every grade level. The school also has speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy and counseling.
ADMISSIONS: Zoned neighborhood school. Upon intake, a note is made if you are interested in dual language, but final decisions only occur once your child has been accepted to PS 87. No kindergarten children from outside the zone except siblings have been accepted in the past several years. (Lydie Raschka, based on interviews with teachers, principal, and parents, and a prospective parent tour, January 2012, update August 2012)

Excellent shot. Like.
I believe it is possible. I actually wanted to do this myself but we were running low on time on this day. It will likely take a few hours of exploring to do it so plan accordingly.
Thanks for catching that! Fixed it
wunderschön! aNNa
Excellent! LIKE
Perfect timing of the shot.
Yes indeed!
Thanks so much for the nice comments...I did Downs, Yukon, Pedestal and Flagstone in the northern end. I am really looking forward to many more trips here. I would like to finish the Wyoming 13ers list but that's a stretch lol!

The Lancaster Central School District's new public-speaking rules ramped up special attention last Monday night, the first time that the new rules took effect.
Board President Marie MacKay went out of her way to announce to the public that the board had been thinking for a long time about the changes, which now allow for the public to speak just at the end of board meetings and no longer at the beginning and end of a meeting. Additionally, the public has a 5-minute limit. And the board times the public and lets speakers know when their speaking time is up.
"You cannot come back up and ask additional questions," MacKay said.
The district also is allowing residents to call in advance of the meeting to get their name on a list to speak, but that is optional.
A former board member got up and spoke – telling the School Board that it bothered him that the public would not have the opportunity to comment on items of business before the board takes action on them.
"You've taken away the ability for the public to tell you how it feels on agenda items beforehand," he said.
Board Vice President Wendy Buchert said Lancaster reviewed several districts and found it was one of few left offering two public comment sections in its meetings. "I don't think we're not trying to be transparent," she said.
She indicated she would take the feedback back to the board for additional review.
Also this week:
• The Lancaster Town Board meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday in a work session, followed by its regular business meeting at the Town Hall, 21 Central Ave.
• The Town Planning Board meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Town Hall, 21 Central Ave.
• The Village Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway.
• The Village Historic Preservation Commission meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Municipal Building at 5423 Broadway.
• The Lancaster Public Library's Board of Trustees meets at 4 p.m. Thursday in the community room of the library at 5466 Broadway.

Product Reviews
Start your car in New York City and drive a winding route to Los Angeles through this sturdy metal maze. Underneath the car are two posts that fit into and slide along the tracks. Along the tracks (you could call them "open roads") are small holes and large holes. Eventually you won't be able to slide any more, so you'll have to pivot the car. You'll do this by keeping one post anchored in a small hole while drawing the other out of the large hole and twisting the car around to fit the post in another large hole. Slide, pivot, slide--come along for the ride!

Happy Birthday to your Mum! Mine was Friday, perhaps it was the same day?!ReplyDelete
A question for you, while we're on the subject of birthdays...I'm looking towards forty and I seem to be having a lot of anxiety lately about health problems in advancing years... Does this worry you ever, and how do you deal with it? Embarrassing to admit, but there you go.
love her blouse and hair too. you are so lucky to have her.ReplyDelete
wish you were going...:(
She does have the best hair - and a great smile. I'm glad she is there for your son.ReplyDelete
Your Mum rocked paisley! Best wishes to her.xxReplyDelete
Dear FF,ReplyDelete
Happy happy birthday FF mum. A wonderful thing to have her in your families lives.
I must say impressed with her hair 11/10. It is to be admired I'm telling you.
Woke up this morning to the news that you were hit by more storms last night. Thumbs down to that I say. I hope the hail and storms did not cause you any issues.
Have a great Monday.

Re: Equitable?
Larry Camejo
Now that makes real sense in my opinion. Quality, not attempts to be overly PC as far as I'm concerned should be the requirement.
What exactly is PC about women instructors?
I guarantee you that I can get away with instructing things men get in trouble for teaching. *grin*
Before I jump into this one, I have to say that I am only sounding like a feminist because I am trying to be an egalitarian.
I would like for gender to be completely invisible. Okay, vive la difference and all that. I LIKE being female, and I like men.
If this makes me more acceptable to you, shame on you.
Imagine me as Tank Girl. With a crush on your wife.
Thus framed, I begin:
I do not agree that women need special treatment at all. All we need is a chance to prove ourselves.
second paragraph, many good articles about gender history & interaction.
Sometimes you don't "get" the chance. Gotta take it.
Furthermore, for those willing to "prove it" those who don't give you that little chance, lose.
This is what instructors have to realize.
Females have to realize that they can do anything. I work with soldiers, many of whom are far more physically sturdy than I, and I have a lifetime of manual labor, budo, animal handling and a culture which discounts women as either mere brood mares or decor.
I don't even have words to describe the strength, physical, spiritual, and emotional, of the women I meet who are involved with the Army. Whether they are under fire, in command, holding down the fort at home or POW (Shoshanna Johnson!), they are self-possessed, adaptable, powerful and perceptive.
I'm not so sure if the ratio of male to female instructors in the world is not represented by the numbers represented at the Aiki Expo this year.
It probably is.
Why is that? Is it really a failing, or possibly a lack of interest in our passive, consumerist society of women in taking responsibility for themselves instead of "renting" power?
We don't need to rent any damn thing. We've got it right here.
Then again, where does the lobbying stop? Similar to what Bryce said - when we have enough female instructors, will we then start asking why there are not enough african, hispanic, indian, christian, moslem, buddhist, hindu or [insert category here] instructors at the expo? To echo Mike above, what bearing does this actually have on our personal quality of training in good Aikido?
Women are all of the above. Not a subgroup. Just people.
And, none. Should be none. Should be a NON-ISSUE.
However, on both sides, can you see a problem here?
What about the men who want so badly to be midwives? Quilters? Dancers? Professional gymnasts, or nurses? Teachers?
Men who are artists?
Now, you (Americans mostly) are saying to yourself, yeah, gay men.
Just like female soldiers aren't necessarily gay.
And who cares anyway? The British army happily recruits alternative sexual orientations. Whose business is it, in business, who you XXXX, or want to XXXX? Never mind that the US Army lives in the bloody Stone Age. Don't ask, don't tell, WHAT exactly?
Personally I believe we must be the change we wish to see in the world.
Sometimes, we just have to make it happen.
Are we so frightened of our own gender and its interaction?
Life is sexually transmitted, after all. Without it, we cease to exist. So get over it, already.

With Philip Rivers throwing passes, Antonio Gates ran about 20 routes of varying types about an hour before the Chargers commenced their 7-6 loss.
"He looked really good," Rivers said. "That's encouraging for us, and for him."
Gates ran short and deep, full speed, cutting across the field and came in and out of breaks extremely strong. He walked off the field without a limp and less-than-usual discomfort afterward.
"I'll tell you what, it's starting to feel close to normal," Gates said later. "It still gets sore, but the difference is I can go out and do some things . . . I haven't hit a wall. I feel more comfortable every time I go."
This was the third time Gates has run routes this hard. He skipped doing so Thursday because of soreness. But he said last night was encouraging and he actually looked forward to seeing how he felt when he woke up in the morning.
He said, "I really feel more than ever I'll be ready" for the Sept. 7 season opener.
Gordon, in his third season, is having a fantastic camp. The fruit of that was manifest last night when he jumped a Marc Bulger pass to Drew Bennett at the Rams' 45-yard line and returned it 16 yards.
The rookie Cason, who won the nickel spot at the beginning of camp with his fantastic ball awareness, great hands and discipline, had an interception on Bulger's previous pass.
"I thought both held up well," Turner said. "I was impressed . . . Antoine Cason, I couldn't be more excited about."
Cason's interception came as he was trailing Randy McMichael, who had the pass go off his hands.
"I didn't know where the ball was," Cason said. "I go, 'Oh! Here it is.' "
And on his across-the-field, 53-yard return, he said, "It felt like I was running for about 300 yards because my legs got heavy."
The inside linebacker is entering his third year. Last season, he still looked like a rookie. But this training camp, he actually looks like a player that belongs on the field more.
"This is like a 180 for me," Dobbins said last night with a smile. "I don't know what it is. All of a sudden, it just clicked. "
Dobbins is in the right spot more, moving with confidence and making plays. Last night, he had a sack and a tackle for a loss in about two quarters of action.
He said he worked extra with inside linebackers coach Ron Rivera this offseason, focusing on understanding concepts.
"Playing is a (heck) of a lot better when you know what the (heck) you're doing," Dobbins said.
Scott Mruczkowski left the game in the third quarter and left the Edwards Jones on crutches and with a protective boot on his sprained left foot. Darren Sproles collided knees with a tackler on a punt return. He had a large ice bag on the bruised knee after the game but walked under his own power.
Mike Scifres bounced a punt backward at the five that was downed by Steve Gregory at the 9-yard line. Scifres' Aussie Rules kicks have been exceptional this summer, and three of his eight punts this preseason have been downed inside the 10.
Buster Davis made a nice catch crossing into the middle for 23 yards in the second quarter and returned a punt 36 yards in the third quarter.
Right tackle Jeromey Clary had trouble with Rams defensive end Leonard Little, allowing a sack, jumping early and allowing a pressure in the span of four plays in the first quarter.

What Companies Can Learn From Bell Labs
By Jon Gertner
Recently, a small technology company in California named EnviaSystems unveiled something startling: A new technology that appears to cut by half the cost of lithium-ion batteries that now power our hybrid and electric cars.
Three things struck me about Envia's news. First, it seemed to promise a game-changing invention that could make EVs an affordable alternative to internal-combustion vehicles. Second, it was an invention based upon a scientific advance at Argonne National Laboratory that had been handed off to the private sector (Envia, assisted by General Motors and a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy) for development. Finally, it was still a long way from being reliable enough to be mass-manufactured and put into GM's electric cars.
These kinds of developments tend to catch my eye, but probably for reasons that differ from most technology enthusiasts.
For the past five years, I studied Bell Labs, an institution that regularly did the kind of thing that Argonne, Envia, and GM are doing now. But Bell Labs did it all under one roof, as a kind of A-to-Z innovation shop that would research and develop game-changing inventions and get them ready for mass manufacture. From 1925 to 1984, the Labs served as the R&D arm of our then-monopolistic telephone company, AT&T. Because of that monopoly, the Labs had a steady stream of funding and an enormous and brilliant staff. It effectively functioned as the world's greatest laboratory. Today, just about every electronic device on earth has some of Bell Labs' DNA. Out of this place came the transistor, the laser, cellular telephone systems, the UNIX computer operating system, and a host of others ideas — some of which involved new processes (rather than products) such as how to etch silicon chips.
One issue I wrestled with while working on my book about Bell Labs, "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of Innovation," was whether today's companies could – or should – do the kind of innovating that Bell Labs did in an age of monopoly. Is the recent news from Envia proof that our national labs and private-sector companies, working in conjunction, are perfectly able to create big breakthroughs, just as we did in the past?
Before I go any farther, let me be clear: I don't think any business has an obligation to do scientific research; in fact I think it often makes little sense, in terms of economics or product development, to do so. Facebook and Tumblr should not start hiring theoretical physicists.
Still, there are a lot of companies out there that have outsize ambitions, and I think it's worth discussing whether their desire to act on these goals – to invest heavily without an immediate payoff, to play the long game, much like Bell Labs did – will pay off. IBM has long had a standout industrial lab; recently it announced gains in quantum computers that suggest remarkable breakthroughs are on the wing. Google X, the secret shop within the search giant, also appears to have Bell Labs-ian aspirations. We know about their goals with self-driving cars, but it seems a safe bet that is only one aspect of much grander research efforts.
Which leads me to a bunch of big questions. Are such companies taking a wise approach?Or is breakthrough research better left to academics and national laboratories?
The flipside of this is to think about whether something valuable has been lost with the demise of big shops like Bell Labs, which is known less for incremental innovations than platform innovations, such as the transistor or laser, that served as the basis for new industries.
Without a place like the Labs, is something key to our innovation economy missing—something we may only discover a decade or two from now, when there are few new platforms on which to build the next generation of technology products? We talk an awful lot about the iPad 3 these days, and less about these questions. But maybe we should.

Joe Marsala And His Delta Four
Joe Marsala (January 4, 1907 – March 4, 1978) was an Italian-American jazz clarinetist and songwriter, born and initially based in Chicago, Marsala moved to New York City in 1933 at the request of Wingy Manone. It was in NYC that Joe found his greatest success as the leader of the 1936 band that entered the Hickory House on 52nd Street. He remained there as leader for ten years.
Early career[edit]
Primarily self-taught, Joe and his brother Marty (trumpet) hung out in the early 1920s behind the clubs on the south side of Chicago listening to and absorbing the music called jazz. He was active during the big band era though he preferred the smaller combos of six or seven in which each member could really swing. Marsala is notable as one of the early employers of drummers Buddy Rich and Shelly Manne, jazz harpist Adele Girard whom he later married,guitarist Charlie Byrd, pianist Gene DiNovi and trumpeter Neal Hefti. Other early band members were trumpeter brother Marty, pianist Joe Bushkin, guitarists Eddie Condon, Jack Lemaire, Carmen Mastren, and bassist Artie Shapiro. Jazz critic and pianistLeonard Feather, among others, gives him a good deal of credit for breaking down race segregation in jazz when he hired trumpeter Henry,"Red" Allen in 1936.[1] In the early 1940s Marsala invited many fine African American musicians to sit in on his Sunday jam sessions at the Hickory House, trumpeter Clarence"Hot Lips"Page, saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, drummer Zutty Singleton, and pianist Fats Waller were a few. Marsala's earliest friendships in Chicago from neighbors to the back alleys of the south side to his earliest recording sessions were peopled with African Americans whom he respected as the first and finest of jazz musicians. Hiring and inviting these musicians to display their talents with his band was just something that came naturally to Joe, it wasn't done for effect or to impress.
Marsala's own playing was rich and graceful, owing a lot to one of his idols, Jimmie Noone. Benny Goodman once said that he "would feel more like the king of swing if he had a lower register like Joe Marsala." In 1959 Louis Armstrong said of Joe that he was "one of the finest clarinetists around." Although usually thought of as a "dixielander" along with Eddie Condon, Marsala was more adventurous: in the 1940s he used Dizzy Gillespie on a recording session, for instance. He also cut some very modern sounding sides with guitarist/composer Chuck Wayne.
Later career[edit]
However, he did have some difficulties adjusting to the bebop era; he simply preferred traditional and swing styles to the newer cool jazz. By 1949 he partly switched to writing songs in the genre now called classic pop. Among these songs was the hit Don't Cry, Joe (Let Her Go, Let Her Go, Let Her Go), recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1949. The song led friends to the unfounded fear his marriage to Adele Girard was over when in fact it was written for GIs returning from WW2 only to find that girlfriends had married other guys.[2] He also wrote And So to Sleep Again with lyric help from Sonny Skylar and which was recorded by Patti Page in 1951.
A friendship with Jack Gordon who worked for RCA Records led Joe to teaching Jack's son Bobby the finer points of the clarinet. Bobby became Joe's protégé and Joe worked on Bobby's behalf to make him known by showing him the ropes in the jazz world, introducing him to well known musicians and producing his first records for Decca, "Warm And Sentimental" and "Young Man's Fancy." Joe was particularly proud of his accomplishments as teacher, friend and mentor to Bobby Gordon. Gordon, for his part has played Marsala songs on a number of his recordings, most recently,"Bobby Gordon Plays Joe Marsala, Lower Register" for Arbors records in 2007, as well as featuring Marsala's wife Adele in her final session also for Arbors in 1992, "The Bobby Gordon Quartet Featuring Adele Girard Marsala, Don't Let It End."
According to his wife, Adele, in his early years Joe Marsala suffered from an allergy to nickel and had a constant irritating rash on his hands from contact with the nickel-plated keys on the clarinet. He was also somewhat plagued by colitis and was unable to drink alcohol for a time; an operation in 1945 cured that condition. Though his younger brother Marty was drafted, Joe was an unacceptable candidate for WWII because of cartilage and ligament tears resulting in "water on the knee." To make up for that Joe and Adele entertained stateside for the USO during the war years. A lifelong smoker, Joe died in Santa Barbara, California at age 71 of cancer.
Joe Marsala was the brother of jazz musician Marty Marsala.[3]

A prevalence survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was performed in 2010 in 19 long-term care facilities in Luxembourg. Of the 954 participating residents, 69 (7·2%) were colonized by MRSA. Previous history of MRSA [odds ratio (OR) 7·20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3·19–16·27], quinolone therapy in the previous year (OR 2·27, 95% CI 1·17–4·41) and ≥24 h care administered per week (OR 4·29, 95% CI 1·18–15·56) were independent risk factors for MRSA colonization. More than 75% of strains were of clonal complex (CC)5, mainly spa-type t003 or sequence type (ST)225 and ST710, which is a rapidly emerging lineage prevalent in central Europe. Five residents were colonized by livestock-associated genotypes belonging to CC398. Previously dominant CC8 strains have recently been replaced by more resistant CC5 strains in Luxembourg.

Do you use endurance sport retail therapy?
The last time I wrote about retail therapy, was in a pre-race neurosis blog. The short of it is that one way racers use retail therapy (making multiple purchases online or at local stores) is as a means of calming pre-race nerves. Ah, but there's more!
On the Sunday group ride, one of the riders mentioned that he was having "some retail issues." After telling me about recent purchases, stuff he doesn't need and the great stuff he already owns, he ended by saying, "Geeze, what is wrong with me?"
I replied, "Oh, you're perfectly normal – for a cyclist or a triathlete. Do know that I'm not saying you're an average American - but you are a normal endurance athlete."
The more we discussed the issue the more he was able to piece it together. He understood the fine place in life for retail therapy. Here is what Joe (his pen name) had to say about some of what drives his need for retail therapy:
- (Over)Training in inclement weather – I have trained in really bad weather, so I DESERVE (KEY WORD/PHRASE) some new stuff to make me (warmer, faster, better looking, cooler, etc.)
- That was a tough workout under extreme conditions, therefore, I DESERVE to buy some stuff….
- Training Plan = Go as long as you can as hard as you can for as many days as you can until you get sick; rest 3 days (beg your doctor for some antibiotics); repeat (ad nauseam). Then during the three day recovery-try-to-get-well-so-I-can-do-it-all-over period, Joe Overcyclist has an acute lack of endorphin production, so in order to get the "fix" Joe goes online, goes to the bike shop, goes nuts, and buys stuff.
- Fourth overall justification, uniquely tied in with all of the above, is the "I need to buy all of the speed I can afford!" justification. (Although the speed paid for is not always the speed delivered – it's the legs not the bike and stuff, dummy!)
Alas, even intelligent, knowledgeable, well trained and coached cyclists often find a need for retail therapy this time of the year – only to realize later that most of the Retail Stuff ends up on a shelf in the bike-cave, having resorted back on the tried and true stuff that he resorted back to last year. Viva Visa!!
When is the last time you used retail therapy? Was it for a reason not listed? Do share.
Please let us know what you used retail therapy for (what ailment did it cure) and what was your purchase?

For the eighth year in a row, family owned-Kaleidoscope Pizzeria and Pub has been Mail Tribune readers' favorite place to get a pizza pie.
Jake Allmaras, his wife, Kristi Haavig, and their son Ben Allmaras make quality their top priority, they say.
"We do that by buying really high-quality ingredients, like the special organic cheese we get from Wisconsin," says Jake Allmaras. "We're fanatics about that. We don't always get it right, but we believe the quality of the food and the service is something that we try to do better than anybody else."
The pizzeria, at 3084 Crater Lake Highway, features pies made with gourmet ingredients, 14 local microbrews and a wine list of more than 100 wines to choose from. "We also sell our draft beer to go, in growlers, in half-gallon jugs," says Allmaras. "We were one of the first people in Medford to do that."
The restaurant is decorated in bright colors to match its name and has a large patio with misters in the summer to keep customers cool.
"We're grateful every time our patrons come back. We don't take any customers for granted," Allmaras says.
Other favorites: Jackson Creek and Papa Murphy's, both in Medford.

Taylor Swift just wrapped up her Speak Now 2011 World Tour and apparently spent her downtime during Thanksgiving getting crafty with a group of friends, making homemade snow globes out of jars and Christmas figurines. Taylor and her friends created more than a half-dozen homemade snow globes [1] with Santas, angels and Christmas tree figurines. "Christmas in a jar, with glitter" the singer shared on Twitter [2].
The craft is pretty simple to replicate. Get a clean jar with a watertight lid. With clear drying epoxy, glue a waterproof figurine onto the inside of the jar's lid. While the epoxy dries, pour a small amount of glitter into the jar, then fill the jar nearly to the top with distilled water. As an option, a small amount of glycerin can be added to the distilled water/glitter mix to make the glitter fall more slowly. Screw the lid onto the jar, with the figurine facing down. Turn the jar so the figure is standing up. The jar can be further decorated by adding ribbon. Shake the jar and watch the glitter fall—voilà, a homemade snow globe.

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) agreed to return the top half of an ancient Hercules statue to Turkey. The marble copy of the famous, bronze "Hercules Farnese" sculpture, cast by Greek master Lysippos of Sikyon dated around 330-320 B.C., had been stolen from an archaeological site in the Mediterranean town of Perge and smuggled into the U.S. in 1981. It was found to fit with a lower torso still in Turkey. Now the two are combined.

"Lyrical Vignettes" by HatedLove6
Categories: Original Stories, Anime & Manga, Books, Cartoons & Comics, Gaming, Movies & TV, Miscellaneous
Characters: Original Character(s), Other, Various
Description: This challenge is set to tell a story or scene of the chosen song through description. The goal is to show the audience what is happening without directly describing the characters themselves, giving them an identity, or telling the audience what is happening. It's to provide the practice of showing, not telling, and the songs are just to give you the story or scene that you need to describe.
Which Songs to Choose:
You can choose one of the four choice list, or you can do more than one. If you do decide to do more than one of these lists, and the same song pops up, you don't have to write a separate piece for the same song. "Songs" does not include audiobooks, audio-poetry, poetry, or stand-up comedy even if it is a song. If you don't have a song for the specific letter, then leave the space open until you do find a song, or you don't have to do it.
A. The first song in each letter of the alphabet.
B. A song of your choosing in each letter of the alphabet.
C. Put your MP3 on shuffle, and write down the first song starting with "A". As soon as you've written the song for "A" down, keep pushing next until you see a song starting with the letter "B", and keep going until you reach "Z".
D The list to your Top 25 Most Played.
1. Obviously, proper spelling and grammar is a must.
2. For the songs, no audiobooks, audio-poetry, poetry, or stand-up comedy even if it is a song.
3. You can put in a couple lines from the song in, but unless it is weaved in to actually take part in the description, it won't count in the wordcount. For example, the lines can take place in the thoughts and that would count. If you just stick in a verse like a song-fic, which I highly discourage but wont disallow in this challenge,it won't count.
4. I don't mind any sexual orientation, so any homosexualism, pansexualism, asexualism, etc. is allowed; however if the song is genderspecific, please keep to the gender. For example, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry is obviously about two women who kissed, but you can take it to another angle, like the boyfriend who saw his girlfriend kiss another girl. Or, if the song is about a serial killer, the serial killer will have specific preferences.
5. No second person perspective! Only third or first.
6. The vignette has to at least be 100 words, but no more than 200.
7. Do not give the characters an identity through nameing, looks, style, or anything that could be recognizable through visual description.
8. Thoughts and inner-monologues are fine, but no extensive dialogue. Small pieces of dialogue are fine, just not more than one short sentence at a time. You're at a short word limit, so don't waste it on dialogue, especially since the point of this challenge is description.
1. Putting the song and band/singer in the author notes, or putting the title of the song as the title of the vignette.
2. Also in the author notes, write what kind of feeling, or setting you were going for, and see if others agree if they felt that way.
3. If the vignette is part of another series (fanfiction) please state from what in the summary. Since the characters' identity will be for the most part hidden, some of the audience may not be able to tell which character you are telling the story or scene from.

10 Common Pitfalls for Estate and Trust Administrators to Avoid
Don't miss court deadlines.
Courts hate to be ignored. Make sure that you place all the probate court's deadlines on your calendar, circled and underlined. Even if you haven't been able to complete the task set by the court (preparing the probate inventory, for example), showing up to explain why you're unable to comply usually buys you additional time. Fail to appear, and the courts often demand immediate compliance.

The San Carlos City Council on Monday will consider spending $60,000 to hire a consultant to assess whether downtown businesses are willing to tax themselves for extra services.
In meetings with downtown proprietors this past year, city employees have been told they want more done to improve the commercial center, according to a staff memo for the council meeting.
One way to pay for that would be for downtown business and property owners to form an "improvement district" that collects extra taxes.
The funds can be used to provide such services as "cleaning streets; providing security; making capital improvements such as construction of pedestrian and streetscape enhancements; parking management and maintenance; marketing of the area and other beautification enhancements," according to the memo by Edesa Bitbadal, the city's economic development coordinator.
"The number one issue is cleanliness," Bitbadal said in an interview Thursday. The city has the resources to power-clean downtown streets only four times a year, she said, adding that business owners also want cleaner and more attractive sidewalks.
"Also marketing, that's something else I've heard," Bitbadal said.
The city used to spend some redevelopment funds for downtown improvements but the state dissolved agencies that collected taxes for such purposes a couple of years ago.
Even without the redevelopment funds, efforts still are being made to attract foot traffic to downtown. Volunteers and donors keep the hanging baskets along Laurel Avenue filled with flowers and the Chamber of Commerce manages some special events such as the weekly Hot Harvest Nights farmers market from May to September.
Tony Gundogdu, the owner of Piacere, an upscale restaurant on Laurel Street, said Thursday he was "absolutely" in support of creating an improvement district. He'd like to see the money spent to widen sidewalks, add more outside seating and make the corridor more inviting to pedestrians.
"It should look public friendly," Gundogdu said.
If the city hires a consultant, "staff can move forward with a timeline that allows for the levy to begin in early 2016 ... dependent upon property owners and/or merchants agreeing to the assessment district," the staff memo states.
The consultant would try to ascertain whether there's enough voting support for an improvement district, indicate how the funds should be used and help prepare the required ballots and legal documents, according to the staff memo.
Several weeks ago, Redwood City's downtown property owners voted to create a business improvement district. According to a city timeline, the new services will start by spring 2015.

In This Crisis, It's To the Salt Mine, Not the Bunker
You have to give the South Korean finance minister points for effort.
Ever since local markets started to tank on concerns the euro zone was coming apart at the seams, Bahk Jae-wan has been making statements to the press on a daily basis and sometimes several times a day, like today. He apologized to reporters this morning for working them so hard.
The message he's been pounding out is two-fold: Korea's economy is in good shape (sub-message: stop selling Korean shares and the won) but the Europeans really need to get their house in order. And soon.
His frustration is clear. At a meeting today with his Chinese counterpart he said the U.S. and Europe are showing the limits of their leadership of the global economy. And at a recent meeting of G-20 finance officials in Washington, he was vocal in calling for the West to act quickly and decisively.
His concern is clearly that while things are bad right now, if the European debt crisis gets seriously ugly and the U.S. economy continues to stall, Korea could get dragged into recession.
To further underscore Seoul's concern, the finance ministry said today the weekly meeting of economic officials will be called the "Crisis Management Meeting" from next week. That takes South Korea back to its economic crisis meetings of 2008, which were even held in an underground bunker for added effect.
The message that things are at a critical juncture is coming from the very top. On Monday President Lee Myung-bak called on ministers to check on economic conditions "with a sense of crisis."
A cynic might prefer to call it a "sense of hopelessness" since there isn't a whole lot South Korea can do as it takes a pounding from economic gyrations elsewhere in the world.
Fundamentally, policymakers know that they have to reduce South Korea's dependency on shipments of goods to the world for economic growth. That's a longer term project, but it's still somewhat puzzling that while all the talk is of crisis, the finance ministry said today's meeting of economic officials focused on efforts to develop a new export product: Korean sun-dried salt.

Chevy Volt Sales Triple in 2012
From CNN Money
By Peter Valdes-Dapena
Chevy Volt sales are cranking up. General Motors sold three times as many Chevrolet Volts in 2012 as it did in 2011, which was the car's first full year on the market.
GM sold 23,461 Volts in 2012 compared with just 7,671 in 2011. While it's an impressive jump, the Volt is still one of Chevy's lowest-selling cars. However, the Volt greatly outdid the Corvette, for instance, of which only 14,000 were sold last year.
Its 2012 sales also put the Volt well ahead of its nearest competitor, the Nissan Leaf. Nissan sold about 9,800 Leafs in 2012, an increase of just 1.5% over 2011.
The single biggest factor driving the sales increase, according to both GM and industry analysts, was the Volt's increased popularity in car-clogged California. Sales there jumped thanks to a few engineering tweaks that made the Volt eligible for California's highly desirable carpool lane stickers for the first time.

Jesse James Sunset Beach Home
Jesse James is trying desperately to get rid of his lavish waterfront home located in Sunset Beach, California. So much so, he has dropped the asking price of $6,750,000 to a messily $4,995,000.
If the price is right, the house is absolutely stunning, with 3,626 square feet of living space along with 4 bedrooms and 4.25 bathrooms, plus a spectacular indoor/outdoor pool setting on the front porch of the property, which is nicely isolated.
Well quit looking at the photos and place you're offer! I bet Jesse would trade it for two hugs and a ham sandwich at this point...

Shot with a circular polarizing filter about twenty minutes before the sun rose.
This one was hard to process, since the treeline is not uniform (cropped out) and there's a giant black cloud reflected in the lake in the exact centre of the photo (also cropped out). However, I love the colours too much to not show this one. It's a shame the trees aren't more visible, but brining up the brightness on them would have drawn attention to the lens flare in the left of the photo.
A photo I made for my parents at their cottage.
Caroline and I were patient enough to get our subject to return to her doorway and pose - not sure if she knew we were taking her photo, but we got some really cool shots. This one is m favourite, since I can't quite figure out what she's waiting for. Lots of clutter in the photo really makes it visually busy, but I think that compliments the brickwork really well.
Borrowed my friend's M4 for a photo walk and got this shot of my wife. Had a great time estimating exposures with the Sunny 16 rule.
Each year Apple has an elaborate setup for demoing, in real time, downloads from the app store. There are 120 iPads driving the interactive interface. As you can see, the icons are sorted by colour, which made finding the monochromatic 500px iPad app icon very difficult. I had to wait until late in the last day, after the sessions, to get a good capture with no one around.
Royal Ontario Museum. Took this one last Summer. Made some touch ups to it since then.
Less post-processing work than the first capture, but I adjusted the perspective for the converging verticals. Silver Efex Pro 2 was a lot of help, and i tried to exaggerate the differences in the cement tiles on the ground. Took Tom's suggestions about "pushing it further" for selective editing and contrast.
This was the shadiest, creepiest hotel I've ever stayed in. I climbed to the top floor to take this photo and the elevator turned on, shaking the entire stairwell. Taken during the day - would have preferred to take this at night but it was just too creepy.
First time playing with heavy post-production. While the original image was kind of cool, and a little warm, I like how this makes everything feel run down and worn in.
Really enjoyed taking photos of the campfire during my recent vacation to New Brunswick. This is one of the best shots. It was hard to get in close enough without risking melting my equipment, as the fire had been going strong for several hours at this point. As usual, I rue my choice of f/4, as the background flames are not nearly as sharp. However, some poignant cropping helps focus your eyes on what's in focus. I used the burn tool to hide some nigh-invisible background details to focus on the flames, used Topaz DeNoise to get clean it up, and some other touch-up work in photoshop.
First shot with my new, long lens. Fun times! Departure from my normal style; didn't do any noise reduction this time to keep the flower life-like.
I don't normally upload the same image in colour and black and white, but I had a hard time picking just one.
My obvious attempt to honour the style of Roland Shainidze: http://500px.com/photo/6006573

A jobseeking 21 year old commits suicide after 200 employment rejections. Vicky Harrison, a bright 21 year old university drop-out and former East Lancashire, England resident, was described by her mother Louise as "a bright, bubbly, and clever girl." VIcky's father Tony, 53, reported that he "lost track of the different types of jobs she applied for. It was really hard seeing her confidence suffer after each rejection. She just wanted to work and earn some cash. I didn't realise how hard it would be to get a job." Mr. and Mrs. Harrison reported that Vicky aspired to be a teacher or television producer but just "gave up."
Vicky was allegedly so discouraged by her fruitless job search that she "became depressed at not being able to find a job. Vicky found it humiliating that she had been out of work for so long and couldn't take it any more. We are struggling to come to terms with [Vicky's suicide]. Vicky is and always was special." Vicky wrote three suicide notes before taking her life with an apparent drug overdose. In each of the notes, written for her mother, father, and boyfriend Nathan Haworth, she stated "It's just that I don't want to be me any more."
Vicky had sought employment through 200 different applications in the two years following her 2008 leave from college which was decidedly "just not right" for her. Vicky was allegedly too "proud" for public assistance but did receive a small Jobseeker's Allowance, like an estimated 4,045 other 18-24 year olds in East Lancashire, England, a number nearly doubled since July 2008 because of recession. Nationally beyond East Lancashire, Manchester and throughout England, over 2.5 million youths are unemployed with dramatic rises in recent months. From December 2009 until February 2010 youth unemployment rose to 929,000 with gains of over 4,000 people when compared with the previous three months. Labor policies in England have been heavily criticized, with opposition claiming that they have caused a "lost generation" of unemployed youths.
Harrison's parents and boyfriend have established a foundation in Vicky's honor dedicated to help unemployed youths in a sad yet growing trend in today's tough economic times.

News 12
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Glenn Hills High School principal will receive ten days without pay along with another letter of reprimand into his personnel file after past incidents.
Dr. Wayne Frazier was given three letters from the Richmond County Board of Education in relation to his negligence in the missing funds for the school, his DUI charge and the "Jail Report" that was printed in the school's yearbook.
Dr. Frazier was given a letter of advisement in regard to his misdemeanor DUI arrest on May 20, 2010. The letter of advisement is signed by Dr. Dana Bedden, but will not be placed in Dr. Frazier's permanent personnel file, according to the document.
The high school principal was also given a letter regarding the $14,417.62 that was unaccounted for at Glenn Hills High School. The document states Ms. Bridgette Thompkins, the bookkeeper denied wrongdoing, but she couldn't explain the missing funds. Ms. Thompkins resigned from her position, made restitution in the amount unaccounted for and agreed not to apply for another job, the report said.
Because the issue is a very serious act of omission and neglect on Dr. Frazier's part, the school system recommended him to be suspended for 10 days without pay.
Dr. Frazier was also given a letter of reprimand that was inserted in his personnel file for letting "The Jail Report" be published in the school yearbook.

Note: The submission deadline has passed for the 2010 Science Fair. Watch this page for future announcements.
The Creation Museum Science Fair is an opportunity for students from homeschools, Christian schools, and public schools alike to present their research to scientists, learn more about the scientific method, and receive recognition and awards for their hard work.
This opportunity is open to students in grades 7–12, but space is limited, so students must plan their projects well. Once the experimental hypothesis and methodology are selected, students can apply using the forms available on this website.
Be sure to read the guidelines before you start planning.
Even if you don't live near the Creation Museum, this is a great opportunity to visit the museum and compete in the Science Fair at the same time. Families of participants will receive discounted tickets to the museum, so you can make it into a family vacation with an educational theme.
You'll also enjoy several special events, including fun workshops, live animal demonstrations, an awards ceremony with a special speaker, and more. Keep an eye on this website for a schedule and more details coming soon.
Proposal Forms are due by September 30, 2009. If you are selected, you will be notified by the end of October with more details about the Science Fair.

The assistant middle school principal claimed that the students violated the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The court dismissed one of the students from the lawsuit and it would not surprise me if the court dismisses the rest of the plaintiff's claims soon. While the plaintiff may have a stronger case suing under another theory, I believe the students and their parents have a strong First Amendment defense that may defeat most if not all potential claims.
Last year, North Carolina enacted a law that makes it unlawful for students to:
Use a computer or computer network to do any of the following:
(1) With the intent to intimidate or torment a school employee, do any of the following:
a. Build a fake profile or Web site.
b. Post or encourage others to post on the Internet private, personal, or sexual information pertaining to a school employee.
c. Post a real or doctored image of the school employee on the Internet.
While North Carolina's law has good intentions, I would find it hard to believe that it does not violate the First Amendment. It would not surprise me if a federal court eventually rules that this law is unconstitutional.
The bottom line is that schools need to do a better job of educating their students, teachers, and administrators about digital issues.
