Crooks use technology to rip off consumers and businesses
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) are being used to defraud businesses and consumers reports the Internet Crimes Complaint Center.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, all telephone companies must provide this service for individuals with hearing or speech impairments so they will be able to communicate with others. Well, you might know the crooks would find a way to use this technology to rip us off!
According to the center, auto repair shops are a prime target. Using the TRS system, the crook contacts the repair shop and claims the car has to be shipped to the shop for work and asks that the repairs and shipping fees be charged to a credit card. The charge goes through without a problem. Then the business is asked to wire the money to the shipper to cover the shipping costs. It is only after this that the business is notified the credit card is either a fake or stolen and the company has to bear the loss of the wired money.

Stock Futures Slump on Jobless Claims Data, Wal-Mart
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were falling Thursday after a disappointing read on U.S. labor market conditions and quarterly results from Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) .
Fiscal cliff fears and data indicating that the eurozone fell back into a recession also was weighing on the markets.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were falling 40 points, 30.95 points below fair value, at 12,504. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 2.29 points, or 1.78 points below fair value, at 1350. Futures for the Nasdaq were up less than 1 point, or 0.02 points below fair value, at 2530.
"We expect continued volatility with bias toward the downside as markets continue to worry about the resolution of the fiscal cliff," cautioned Mike Simmons, managing director and partner at HighTower. "If Washington can reach a compromise in short order, we could see a nice rally."
The major U.S. stock averages were walloped Wednesday, dragged lower by persistent worries about the fiscal cliff.
The selling accelerated after President Barack Obama again stressed his commitment to ending Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans during a press conference. The president's firm stance sets the stage for a tough battle with Republicans toward compromise on the next federal budget.
The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims for the week ended Nov. 10 rose by 78,000 to 439,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 361,000. Economists were expecting jobless claims of 375,000.
The four-week moving average was 383,750, an increase of 11,750 from the prior week's 372,000.
Continuing claims for the week ended Nov. 3 increased 171,000 to 3.334 million from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.163 million. Economists were forecasting continuing claims of 3.21 million.
The October consumer price index increased 0.1%, as expected; the core CPI rose 0.2%, more than the estimated 0.1% increase.
The Empire State Manufacturing Survey improved to -5.2 in November from -6.2 the prior month and came in better than the expected fall to -6.7.
At 10 a.m., the Philadelphia Fed's Business Outlook survey is expected to indicate a decline to 2 from 5.7 in October.
The FTSE 100 in London was down by 0.32%, while the DAX in Germany was off 0.5% on Thursday. Japan's Nikkei average finished higher by 1.9% as contractors and exporters got a boost from support coming from Japan's main opposition leader, Shinzo Abe, for public spending and more monetary easing.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng slid by 1.55%.
Gold for December delivery was down $6.10 at $1,724 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while December crude oil contracts were falling 11 cents at $86.64.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was down 6/32, lifting the yield to 1.615%. The dollar was up 0.08%, according to the U.S. dollar index.

Nvidia Corp. has formally launched its first DirectX 11-class graphics processor for mainstream market. Aimed at $129 per card segment, the GeForce GTS 450 comes to market about a year later than its competitor ATI Radeon HD 5700-series graphics product. Fortunately for Nvidia, its novelty promises to offer a bid higher performance and some other advantages over direct rivals.
Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 is based on GF106 graphics processing unit (GPU) with 192 stream processors, 32 texture units, 16 render back ends and 128-bit GDDR5 memory controller. The chip is clocked at 783MHz, its stream processors operate at 1566MHz. The company recommends its partners to install 1GB of memory clocked at 3608MHz. The novelty fully supports DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.0, OpenCL 1.0 as well as Nvidia's proprietary technologies, such as 3DVision, PhysX, SLI and so on.
It is interesting to note that the model GTS 450 does not feature a fully-fledged version of GF106, which has 192-bit memory controller. It is believed that the model GTS 455 will feature the fully-functional GF106.
According to the latest Steam survey, a leading indicator of the hardware used by PC gamers today, 56% of gamers play at mainstream resolutions, typically between 1600x1050 and 1280x1024. The GTS 450 was specifically designed to excel at these resolutions, delivering high DX11 performance with 4x antialiasing turned on.
The GeForce GTS 450 is designed to deliver the best DX11 price/performance in the $129 price category.

Bird watching is fun and relaxing
I never really understood birders. Maybe it's because I could never make binoculars work properly (or never had a really decent pair to use). Maybe it's because I always got a crook in my neck when I tried to see them up high in the tree. Maybe it's because when I did manage to get a bird in sight, I still couldn't really see it very well, and it would fly away so quickly. Whatever the reasons, birding has been difficult for me.
Over the years, though, I have met so many kind and patient birders who have helped me learn in the field. Birding has actually become a pleasure. I sit at the back windows during lunch to see who's coming to the feeder. I listen for birds while hiking and try to learn the species by voice. I even find myself keeping lists of birds sighted during staff meetings (shh don't tell my boss).
May is a crazy time for birding. In addition to the birds who will stick around and breed in our region, there are dozens of species that are just passing through to breeding grounds further north. That makes May a perfect time to hold a birdathon. We are currently soliciting pledges, much as people do for other athon type fundraisers: dance-athon, jump-athon, that sort of thing. People can pledge a set amount, or an amount per species. On the first Saturday in May, the education staff accompanied by members and friends then goes out to identify as many species as possible in 24 hours.
We start at 6am at the Center and check off nearly a dozen species outside the back window while charging up with coffee and breakfast treats. We've done it for enough years that we know just where to go to pick up species that have narrower habitat preferences. (Waterthrushes sing on the back side of Spatterdock Pond. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers hang out on the banks of the spillway behind Big Pond and once or twice we have even seen a Red-headed Woodpecker back there. We can usually find Indigo Buntings and Blue-winged Warblers if we take a short drive to Akeley Swamp.)
At the end of our group birding excursion, we break into smaller sub-teams and head out to pick up a few more species. I have found myself on farm roads looking for Eastern Meadowlarks and Bobolinks, or down at the Chautauqua Lake outlet looking for Double-crested Cormorants. Others might head to a gull gathering to pick up a few species.
Our goals include having fun and learning a new bird or two. Our main goal is to raise money a scholarship for a deserving student. This year's recipient, Allison Cramer of Lakewood, New York, is currently attending JCC and has been accepted to the SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry in Syracuse, NY, where she plans to pursue a degree in conservation biology. She wants "future generations to be able to make their own memories, to experience the beauty of the natural world, to gasp in awe at nature's breathtaking moments, and to strike a passion into the younger generation for the Earth as it was made to be seen."
Part of the deal is that the recipient has to go birding with us! Allison will join us on Saturday, May 4, to go birding for bucks. Others are welcome to join us, too. If you are interested, call Audubon at (716) 569-2345 and ask for anyone in the education department. If tromping around looking for birds isn't your cup of tea, but you'd like to help out by pledging, give us a call, or click over to our online donation page from jamestownaudubon.org.
The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is located at 1600 Riverside Road in the town of Kiantone, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York and Warren, Pennsylvania. Learn more about programs and activities by calling (716) 569-2345 or clicking to jamestownaudubon.org.

Students sought for honors camp
Gov. Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds have invited graduating seniors to apply to be a delegate to the 2013 National Youth Science Camp.
Two Iowa seniors will receive a full scholarship to exchange ideas with scientists and other professionals from the academic and corporate worlds at the camp, which will be held in West Virginia. Students may nominate themselves or be nominated by school administrators, teachers or parents to attend the three-week camp, which includes lectures and hands-on research projects presented by scientists from across the nation, overnight camping in the Monogahela National Forest and a visit to Washington, D.C. Delegates must demonstrate academic achievement in science and potential for thoughtful scientific leadership.
Educational and recreational programming, as well as meals, lodging, and round-trip air passage are provided to delegates free of charge thanks to generous contributions to the National Youth Science Foundation. The camp will be held near Bartow in the eastern mountains of West Virginia, within the Monongahela National Forest. The 2013 camp dates are June 26 to July 20.
"This is an outstanding opportunity for two young Iowans to learn about different scientific disciplines and leadership along with delegates from other states," said Branstad. "The camp recognizes the excellence that participants have already demonstrated and their potential."
Application forms are available at 2013.nysc.org/ and must be submitted directly to the Iowa Academy of Science as follows: Attention Marcy Seavey, NYSC, Iowa Academy of Science; 2607 Campus Street; Cedar Falls, IA 50614-0508.

I want to play small bars, solo fingerpicking some strumming. What is the absolute best sound for my Martin? 1 caveat, I am a traditionalist, I don't like seeing electronics on an acoustic. Wire out of the endpin is one thing, but a soundhole that is all blocked up all the time drives me nuts. What are the choices, and keep it reasonably priced, 150-250.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. "
Small Fry
You're probably familiar with the four operators that dominate the fractional-jet-share business: CitationAir, Flexjet, Flight Options and–the biggest of the big, with more than half the market–NetJets. But if you're shopping for a share, those aren't your only choices.
Clearwater, Fla.-based Avantair and Portsmouth, N.H.-based PlaneSense are increasingly noteworthy players. And there are many others, such as Kansas City, Mo.-based Executive AirShare and Canada's AirSprint. For helicopters, there's Newark-based HeliFlite Shares as well as Sikorsky Shares, whose headquarters are in Wappingers Falls, north of New York City.
Should you sign on with one of the smaller fractional providers instead of one of the big four? Perhaps, but not until you understand what you're getting into.
First, the good news. While the major fractional-share providers certainly strive to offer personalized service, it's conceivable that you'll be less likely to be seen as just another customer by a company that has relatively few of them. Moreover, the small outfits may be able to get you to your destination for less money than the majors.
But you pretty much get what you pay for: While the biggest providers offer a variety of models and the ability to upgrade or downgrade to a different class of aircraft for each flight, the smaller ones typically manage to charge less by featuring only a limited selection of turboprops and light jets. While NetJets operates about 500 aircraft and more than a dozen models ranging from light to large-cabin jets, for example, Avantair offers only about 55 airplanes, all of them Piaggio P180 Avanti twin-engine turboprops, and PlaneSense exclusively features the Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprop, of which it recently had 34. If those aircraft don't suit your needs for all your flights, you're out of luck.
You may also be out of luck if the company you choose doesn't offer the range or flexibility you want. While the large providers make aircraft available throughout the U.S. and on short notice and may even have reciprocal arrangements that let you fly in other parts of the world, the smaller ones often operate only regionally and require you to book flights further in advance. If their relatively modest-sized fleets can't always accommodate demand, moreover, they may rely on charter operators to supplement them, which could affect quality. So consider carefully how well an operator's offerings match your flying needs, and, if possible, solicit feedback from several of its current customers.
Pay particular attention to how well the fractional provider is run because small operators frequently lack the track records of the big four and also generally don't have as many financial resources to help them ride out hard times. As a result, losses can quickly spiral out of control, leading a company to go under. One recent example: Reston, Va.-based OurPlane, which once had about two dozen aircraft to serve customers in the U.S. and Canada, declared bankruptcy last October.
The possibility of such a failure means you need to do even more homework before signing on the dotted line than you would with one of the majors. Investigate the backgrounds of the people managing the company. Find out whether its pilots are full-time employees and what training standards they meet. Inquire about whether safety inspections have been conducted by ARG/US or Wyvern, the leading industry auditors, and ask to see the results. And by all means, scrutinize the company's financial health and business plan.
That may sound like lots of work, but those who skip these steps could pay a steep price. Consider the story of JetChoice, a fractional provider based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul suburb of Little Canada. Founded in 2003, the operation grew quickly and had about 100 employees and 35 aircraft by the fall of 2008. But then, as the economy tanked, revenues began declining rapidly. In May 2009, two JetChoice-related companies filed for bankruptcy, listing assets of $6.8 million and liabilities of $39.2 million. JetChoice investor Jerry Trooien subsequently sued company founder David Kloeber for $4.5 million in unpaid rent and loan payments and Kloeber countersued for $2.5 million. Then this past October, Trooien filed for bankruptcy, listing debts of $284 million.
Left in the lurch by this meltdown are dozens of laid-off employees and numerous fractional shareholders, some of whom are owed many thousands of dollars that they'll likely never see. As desk sergeant Phil Esterhaus used to tell his troops on the 1980s TV cop show Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there."

Vince Horrigan Announces Candidacy For County Executive
MAYVILLE – Legislator Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point, has announced his candidacy for county executive.
Although Horrigan will not be officially endorsed by the Republican Committee until after May 30, Allan Hendrickson, Chautauqua County Republican Committee chairman, said the committee is not actively seeking additional candidates.
"We went to him," Hendrickson said. "And, you know, he was a little reluctant, because he had retired from the service and then from the Red Cross. But, after serving on the legislature, he wanted to make sure that some of the things they've started are carried through. His heart is in Chautauqua County. So, he said he would be willing to serve."
Horrigan announced his candidacy Wednesday at a Chautauqua County Republican reception at Shorewood Country Club in Dunkirk.
"Over my years of public service in village and County government, I have understood that so many of us come from different viewpoints, but we all want the best for those who live in Chautauqua County," Horrigan said in a news release. "However, we must have a vision for the future to determine how we will solve the challenges that we face in our individual economic circumstances and demographics. Our collective success will require building consensus around efficiency, productivity and economic development."
Horrigan, originally from Ohio, married his high school sweetheart and honeymooned in Chautauqua County. His wife and two children traveled the world with Horrigan while he served in the United States Air Force for 27 years. Horrigan and his wife moved to the county following his retirement from the Air Force 15 years ago.
Following his retirement, Horrigan served as the director of the Red Cross in Chautauqua County. Additionally, he has been a village board member in Bemus Point and is currently serving as a county legislator.
Upon announcing his candidacy, Horrigan said he has received an outpouring of support through numerous phone calls and emails.
"When the current county executive, Greg Edwards, announced that he was not going to seek another term, of course so many of us had to reflect on who would be the right candidate to replace him," Horrigan told The Post-Journal. "The county executive position is absolutely crucial. We have a lot of issues. And, at the same time that we were wondering, I received a significant number of phone calls and emails, urging me to run."
Previously, Horrigan said he never had the intention to run for the position. However, after reflecting on the opportunity, he said he realized he is in good health and cares deeply about the county, and is ready, eager and willing to fill the vacancy which will be left open by Edwards in January.
"Throughout my life, I've had broad experience in leadership positions, dealing with issues both in times of what I'll call normal operations, in crisis and had to make significant leadership decisions," Horrigan said. "I've dealt with government issues, and the challenges of taxes and services. I became very involved, and I care very deeply about some of the issues. I want to try to do my best to make a difference, to kind of overcome cynicism that sometimes is the way with some of our elected officials, and I want to be able to make decisions that are in the best interest of the people of Chautauqua County."

Are you, too, getting older…and poorer?Saturday, June 30th, 2012
I'm pretty good at math, so I did some the other day. I wanted to figure out where I stood, retirement-wise. It turns out, I won't be standing, but sitting right here in front of the computer monitor working. Social security and our meager savings will not come close to allowing us to live comfortably here in The People's Republic of Massachusetts. And with our first grandchild due next month, I've abandoned all hope of convincing Martha to move.
As it turns out, though, we're not alone. Lots of others are facing seniorhood with less-than-stellar financial resources, too.
5 Steps to Greater Retirement Self-Reliance
Poverty rates have been rising for older Americans. They're not alone, of course. The meager recovery from the recession has left millions of us worse off. Younger people can at least hope for a rebound when things get better. But it is hard to find a silver lining in any of the clouds that hang over older folks.
Tax rates are set to rise. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are under the gun. Federal and state spending will be under pressure for years, if not decades. And the flood of aging baby boomers promises to intensify demand for senior health and safety-net programs, just when it's clear that the money for any expanded efforts is just not there.
The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) recently took a look at poverty rates among people age 50 and older, and how they changed between 2001 and 2009. Looking at four different groups of older people, here is how their poverty rates have changed:
Ages 50 to 64: from 9.1 percent in 2001 to 12.3 percent in 2009
Ages 65 to 74: from 8.4 percent to 9.4 percent
Ages 75 to 84: from 8.8 percent to 10.7 percent
Ages 85 and older: from 15.9 percent in 2001 to 14.6 percent in 2009
Click Here to read the rest of the story.
Number 3 on the list, delaying retirement, is not even an option for me. It's a necessity.
Even if I do delay collecting Social inSecurity until I'm 70, we still won't have enough to live on comfortably. So the bottom line of my math exercise is, barring a big lottery win, I'll be working until I die.
What's your situation?
If you're approaching "that age," will you have enough to retire comfortably?
If you're younger, do you have a concrete plan to generate enough savings to retire?
And how do you feel the nation's ongoing shift to socialism will affect you?

I mean heat = heat.
I will differ from the conventional wisdom and agree that the pizza doesn't care where the heat comes from. It does care where it is applied, however, and this is what makes the type of oven like you posted fall short. You will never get balanced heat from that, even though it claims an ambient temp that is adequate. Neapolitan pies do not rely on ambient temps, WFOs are designed to exploit IR heat which is not easy to replicate in an electric deck type oven.
It cares where it IS, not what creates it.
It does care where it is applied, [/quot
my oven is the largest one at the bottom of the page. I love it for Ny or coal style pizzas, but to do a neapolitan bake I still prefer my home oven on the cleaning cycle. My best pies have come out of a WFO, or a CFO, however. http://www.gourmetpizzaexpress.com/products.html
Yes, that must be this one;http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=19732.0Looks excellent, but i'm not skilled enough to modify the oven like that person did.I would buy it, for sure!The rotating stone is an excellent idea!
those are beautiful! I saw some pizza disks on the video. does he bake his pies on these metal disks, or do the pizzas go right onto the stone of the oven? also, could you further explain the firewall?
That oven looks absoluty great!But it's very expensive. The oven i've seen was only 500 euro.
The price for the forum members is 308 + shipping charges 55 to France

How AIM Began
For the first four years of my teaching career, I worked in a couple of inner city schools as a French immersion teacher in Toronto. I went into teaching, loving the French language and inspired to help my students find the same. I found these years extremely difficult. I was not an effective teacher – I struggled with classroom management and did not pass the probationary period. For several months I was under review by the Superintendent and did not know whether I would keep my job. I would go home at the end of the day and cry – not sure that I would continue on the teaching path that I had intended to follow since I was very young. During my fourth year, things started to change – my skills slowly began to develop and I was feeling more confident as a teacher!
In 1989, I moved to an independent school to teach core French – 30 to 40 minutes a day per class. Having been in an immersion environment, where French is commonly understood and spoken by students, I was surprised to see that after six years of French instruction, the students at my new school could not speak, read or write at all in the second language. Although I loved this school – the students were wonderful, the parents were supportive and the administration created a positive learning environment – throughout my first year there, I became increasingly frustrated with my inability to create a target-language only environment.
It seemed to me that the vocabulary found in the school's thematic programs were not providing me with the words that the students needed to know. I began to create a list of the most frequently used words and expressions that I remembered my immersion students used. I also documented interactions with my current students – in English – to determine what words they needed in order to communicate with me. This list became the 'Pared-Down Language' (PDL), eventually something I verified through research studies.

West Geauga or Ashtabula Lakeside??Who makes the first move?? Lakeside or West G??
The top two contenders for the West Geauga head coaching job are said to be Dave Bors (Chardon D.C.) and Mark Percassi (West G. O.C.).
Bors holds an eventual trump card in that he is a teacher and Percassi is not, BUT the players' and parents' choice has clearly been stated to the school that they'd want Percassi.
It get crazy. Ashtabula Lakeside has been rumored to be very hot after Bors as well. $$$$ If they make the move and hire him, Percassi may be a lock at West G. If West G. hires Bors away from Chardon then expect the Hilltoppers to go nuts!! Percassi would stay at West G as offensive coordinator.
Let's see where the cards may fall boys.

"Beauty and Its Possibilities" by Rita Patel
The architect Christopher Alexander tells this story in The Timeless Way of Building:
I once saw a simple fish pond in a Japanese village which was perhaps eternal.
A farmer made it for his farm. The pond was a simple rectangle, about 6 feet wide, and 8 feet long; opening off a little irrigation stream. At one end, a bush of flowers hung over the water. At the other end, under the water, was a circle of wood, its top perhaps 12 inches below the surface of the water. In the pond there were eight great ancient carp, each maybe 18 inches long, orange, gold, purple, and black: the oldest one had been there eighty years. The eight fish swam, slowly, slowly, in circles—often within the wooden circle. The whole world was in that pond. Every day the farmer sat by it for a few minutes. I was there only one day and I sat by it all afternoon. Even now, I cannot think about it without tears. Those ancient fish had been swimming, slowly, in that pond for eighty years. It was so true to the nature of the fish, and flowers, and the water, and the farmers, that it had sustained itself for all that time, endlessly repeating, always different. There is no degree of wholeness or reality which can be reached beyond that simple pond.
Not only is the description both vivid and beautiful — conjuring up a lovely image — but the emotion from actually seeing and being with this beauty in nature is profoundly powerful.
If I am open, moments where I can deeply see, feel, and be are available in all sorts of so-called common places and interactions. And what happens is that I don't just observe with my senses and my mind, but I commune with the beauty of it in my heart — that is where it happens, where I actually feel it. The feeling doesn't stay but the feeling about other things afterwards is always affected. And the more I experience this beauty the more I realize that it does not disappear but is always present. Available to connect to when I am available. A wonderful thing to wake up and remember and make a habit.
"Radiance belongs to being considered precisely as beautiful; it is, in being, that which catches the eye, or the ear, or the mind, and makes us want to perceive it again."

Skip to comments.Ask Dr. Helen: Should Prince William Wear a Wedding Ring?
Posted on 04/05/2011 5:44:23 AM PDT by Kaslin
The English street is up in arms over William's choice not to wear one.
Shortwave8669 sends a question from his iPhone:
Dear Dr. Helen,
I see in the news that Prince William will not be wearing a wedding ring after marrying Kate Middleton. Is this decision different than a wife that does not take her husband's last name?
I see many are upset at his decision but we no longer notice what I think is a similar female choice. Why? Both decisions seem of equivalent impact.
Dear Shortwave,
Apparently, many people are discussing the issue of Prince William's wedding ring as evidenced by this BBC news show on the topic. In the show, the Brits on the street were asked if he should wear one, and they had a variety of answers:
"Who does he think he is?"
"In modern times, young men don't like to wear a ring."
"We all know he's getting married, so what's the difference?"
On the same show, a news panel with two men and two women weighed in. One woman thought he absolutely should wear a ring, as it is "a symbol of love" and because William is a "self-proclaimed cad." A man on the panel said this was "rubbish, and just about women's lib more than anything else. In modern times, it is a personal choice and if William doesn't want to wear a ring, he shouldn't."
So what is the tradition of men wearing a wedding ring? According to eHow (perhaps not the most credible source, but I thought this post to be sensible), it is this:
Wedding rings for men became more accepted during World War II. Soldiers wore rings to represent commitment to wives at home. Today, some men choose to wear or forgo wedding rings for various professional or cultural reasons. Some men wear wedding rings, like women, to represent the commitment they have made. Other men choose not to wear rings because they avoid jewelry or because cultural or religious traditions discourage rings for men.
I have to say: I am personally torn. On one hand I can see wearing a wedding ring as a symbol of commitment and love, but on the other I agree with the male panelist at the BBC who said it was "all about women's lib." Just as women used to think they were seen as possessions of men (which may or may not have been true), men are now seen as indentured servants who exist to serve women's needs and desires.
I can understand not wanting to wear a ring; they are inconvenient, and for people who don't like jewelry, a real pain. Or William may feel that traditionally men did not wear rings, and he likes this tradition. Who knows? As one of the panelists above at the BBC said: "It's his personal decision." If a woman didn't want to wear a ring, my guess is everyone would say: "You go, girl!" — just as they would if the woman did not want to take her husband's name. That was tradition, so women decided to break it.
So can William. "You go, boy," and don't let anyone tell you how to live your life or interfere in your marriage, even if you are the potential king of England.
What do you readers think: ring or no ring? Do you wear one or not?
They get their knickers in a knot about this.
Meanwhile, Sharia is creeping into the UK.
"They" being some on that BBC panel.
Nobody's business but William and his wife.
I don't wear one, or a watch, or a necklace, or an ear ring , and my tongue isn't pierced.
People do not have to adorn themselves with jewelry.
Good point - the real poll should be whether the princess should wear a burka.
The only ring I'm concerned about is the large sapphire that Kate M. wears. It was Diana's engagement ring and I just think it's a very unlucky ring. And I don't believe in good and bad luck - generally. The fact that it wasn't even put into a new setting also gives me the creeps. That ring did not represent a happy or even very sane marriage.
he is not less married without a ring.
for non-prince williams men, rings are an impediment at work or just plain annoying.
Besides it is more money for jewelry for women.
this time the bride knows the kooky family she is entering and they have a pre-nup.
BTW are we talking about wedding bands or a seperate ring? if it is a seperate ring OTHER than a regular wedding band then it is over the line into fruity territory.
Depending on the job that someone does, a wedding ring or any ring can be dangerous
2 Marriages 2 wedding rings, 1 marriage no ring, guess which one lasted 3x the other two combined? Besides I never was one for jewelery, marriage is more of the heart, not the trinket.
(2) Prince William is, in theory, a future head of the Church of England. A wedding ring is part of the Book of Common Prayer ceremony. One may argue that wearing a ring is "his personal choice" - but he considers himself a prince. He is not a purely private individual.
No arguments after that.
Hooligans rule GB
Union thugs rule USA
Muslim Brotherhood ruling the middle east
Anarchists running mobs in every country.
All's well in Obama's world
What do you mean he considers himself a prince? By that logic any Great Britain can consider him or herself a prince or a princess
They have a pre-nup? Didn't know that. She is one attractive gal.
He has not renounced the title, so I conclude that he considers himself a prince of England - which carries with it a number of public responsibilities.
Wearing a wedding ring is just an old tradition - like having a royal family.
I don't care what this idiot does. But, tradition is the only thing that keeps his family living in splendor and wealth. One would think the royals would have the good sense to embrace tradition.
Sooner or later, modern-thinking Brits will decide to do away with the expense of the royalty, and the royal family will all cry "But what of our ancient traditions!?". lol That'll be a hard sell if they continue to snub English and Western traditions at every turn...
What's the big deal? I'm married and don't wear a wedding ring. Why? Because I have never worn a ring except for the brief times when I put one on and panicked because I felt my finger quickly swelling up. Maybe it was in my mind but any ring on my finger feels highly uncomfortable.
Does it matter? Everyone but the dead on earth will know he's married!
One can argue that the royal family are a source of revenue. They cost about $60 million a year. Tourism is about $122 billion a year.
If the Windsors account for even half of one percent of those tourism revenues, they've paid their way.
Also, the Crown Estate is theoretically the property of the royal family (though not the property of any specific monarch) and it contributes about $350 million a year to the treasury.
I've heard the argument that the royal family are ultimately a source of revenue. I wouldn't know enough to argue either way, but I wouldn't doubt it.
However, the royal's draw is still based on the tourist's appreciation of centuries-old traditions. Could the US establish a royal family today and enjoy the same tourism benfit? Obviously not; a week-old monarchy would be a joke, even if a super-cool person like myself were made honorary king of the USA.
Like I said, it's not my business what the Windsors do; I just think it's not a good move for them to shun English tradition, since they represent England and that's ultimately what keeps the money flowing their way.
When I see men who work with their hands, I tell them they shouldn't wear rings at work. The new carbide rings make me shudder, the can't be cut off with traditional ring cutters.
That's me all over, baby.
I stopped wearing my ring after I saw a man's finger ruined when he was jumping out of the back of an LMTV and it got caught. Bent the ring down into a cutting edge.
I have the same problem with my fingers swelling up, so I have stopped wearing any rings.
Most EMTs carry jewelry saws in their emergency vehicles for precisely this purpose. Also, carbide rings can be cracked.
I'm no expert, but maybe the rings were used in the wedding ceremony, but not traditionally worn by men on a daily basis afterwords?
Our ring cutters have carbide blades, not much use on carbide rings. Just how do you crack a carbide ring without injuring the finger? This is a real question because it is only a matter of time before I will have to do it.
Helen draws a false parallel, IMO. Surely the female version of whether or not to wear a wedding ring is-—whether or not she wears a wedding ring. They can do it both or either as an obligation and obligatory symbol or as a choice and an option. If it's an option and she wants to but he doesn't, so be it—but it seems very much to be the couple's choice.
Jewelers' saws have industrial diamond blades.
Just how do you crack a carbide ring without injuring the finger?
A vise has been used in some cases. Cracking is apparently more dangerous for the eyes than the finger. I have no direct firsthand knowledge of the vise technique.
OK, I googled it and see there are instructions on cracking a carbide ring. I just need to buy a vice grip to leave at work and hope that the technique works when I try it.
I heard about another emergency room that had a deal with a local dentist who would cut off the rings with his diamond drill.
The Book of Common Prayer was largely written for a pretty wealthy stratum of society.
I would guess that a sizeable percentage of the population simply could not afford wedding rings.
But I would expect that those Anglicans who could afford them wore them.
I would also expect that Nonconformists (i.e. Calvinists, Puritans, Quakers, etc.) who rejected the Prayer Book would have eschewed such rings as part of a hated ritual.
I would also point out that until the heyday of George Brummell in the 1810s, men generally wore quite a bit of jewelry. It was due to Brummell's influence as an arbiter of fashion that jewelry for men became uncommon.
Could you post a link? Thanks
Yep, rings are clearly a needless harzard when working construction and similar activities. My father never wore his ring while on the job.
I worked with a guy that hopped out of the back of a pickup truck one weekend; something caught his ring and it peeled all the flesh off his finger - turned it inside out, basically. He had a larege, wierd bandage with metal wires running thru his finger, for a long time. It healed well enough for him to keep his finger, but with limited mobility.

text: Ron Gillio: I believe there are as many as 200,000 1901-S $10 Liberties. I encountered this date on my first trip to Europe to buy coins in 1970. I went to Zurich with fellow coin dealers Mark Teller and Larry Hanks. The first coins we were shown at the bullion department of Credit Suisse was two 500 coin bags of brilliant uncirculated 1901-S $10 Liberties. That's all they were in those days...bullion coins. We told them we were looking for different dates and were then shown mixed date bags from which we picked Carson City mint coins and other rare dates. Unfortunately, the coins in Swiss banks are long gone and the coin departments are closed. But there were a lot of coins and we could have bought as many 1901-S $10 liberties as we could carry.David Hall: The 1901-S is the most common $10 Liberty. Some experts feel as many as 200,000 still exist...and I agree with that estimate. Interestingly, about 90% of the survivors are uncirculated. These coins apparently didn't circulate much and were probably used for international banking and trade transactions as most of the survivors came from Swiss banks in the 1960s and 1970s when Swiss banks were the bullion traders and market-makers for the world. And that's what this coin was considered to be at the time...a bullion coin. Remember, at the time there were no American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Chinese gold Pandas, or any of the other contemporary World bullion coin issues. And prior to 1975, the only "bullion" coins that were legal for American citizens to own were the Mexican 50 Pesos dated 1947 or prior, and the U.S. $20 and $10 gold pieces.

Are my eyes deceiving me?? No, they aren't. I just came back from my mailbox, and found a letter addressed to me from NEW ZEALAND!! I am NOT joking you in the slightest. It was from none other than the legendary AIRDOG!!! Again, I am NOT joking. I'm being totally honest here. He only wants me to post the first half of the letter, because the second half is for my "eyes only." (Information that maybe some of you will know in the future, but who knows.)
Direct from Airdog:
"To Jason AKA Ram;
Is this really just another Scrodfish Robitussin hallucination? I'm on the run here in N.Z....Auckland is beautiful in the winter! Turns out 'Erm ain't an Englishman at all-he's a sociopathic Tasmanian who runs a string of up-scale brothels in and around Wellington! 'Erm may or may not be an acronym for "Extremely Radioactive Marsupials." Roger and Victor are busy planting suitcase bombs in Chechnya, for who, exactly, I can't discern...For whom, either. Local rumor is that Shirley has the frozen head of Ted Williams and is making her way to her sanctum sanctorum deep inside Ayer's Rock! Scurvy Wench! Her last words to me were, "We'll always have Bensonhurst." She still bears an uncanny resemblance to Meg Ryan. That's why I love her so..I still see her whenever I close my eyes..."
With these new revelations, I just might have to re-think my "300 post" award of telling members the true origins of Shirley. Because this changes everything. And obviously, not everyone can know some of this sensitive material!! By the way, Airdog also said that he was able to catch up on the site the other week. He also stated that he will be moving between cities, and that he was "not at liberty to elaborate." That's how he ended the letter. So the Airdog mystery still looms! This is kinda fun. I feel like I'm in a 007 film. I have Airdog sending me letters from halfway across the world, LOL. Well, that's all the information I have now, folks.
PS: A-dog, if you read this. I guess there's no way I can get in touch with you? Because I have no idea where you're gonna be. I wrote you 2 or 3 emails a few weeks ago, but I guess you never received them. Good thing I didn't go ahead and write you at your house in NYC, because I guess you've been out of the country!! God bless ya, buddy.
PPS--For all you newcomers, you probably think we're a bunch of wackos. Well, we are. If you want ANY understanding of the ongoing activities of Shirley, Roger, Victor, or 'Erm, I'm afraid you're gonna have to do a lot of searching through the old posts.

Walz embarrasses us on the Farm Bill
To the editor:
We should all be embarrassed by the behavior of Tim Walz regarding the farm bill.
Walz used the label "extremist" to describe anyone who wants to trim back the excessive price tag of $1 trillion over ten years. Name calling instead of giving information is unbecoming a Congressman.
Those who want to reform the broken food stamp program, Walz described as "wanting to eliminate government altogether" – a complete falsehood.
And Walz is adamantly opposed to following the good government principle that every bill should deal with only one subject. Separating food stamps and farm policy is the only way we have a chance to have good bills in either area. If a bill can't stand on its own merits, it needs to be changed.
Congressmen like Walz are the reason government spending is out of control. They are the reason Congress has an all time low approval rate.
Name calling, falsehoods, unwillingness to be part of good government procedure and out of control spending – that is what we have in Tim Walz.

More taxpayers ditch pen to fill out tax return
The Columbus Dispatch - December 05, 2013 05:58 PM
The number of taxpayers who still reach for a pen to fill out a tax form continues to shrink.
New Internal Revenue Service numbers show that 91 percent of individual tax returns filed this year by taxpayers doing their own work or using a preparer were filed electronically. That's 122.5 million returns.
The number of returns prepared and e-filed by individuals rose by 4.6 percent to 45.2 million returns this year.
The IRS also reported that it has issued 109 million refunds worth nearly $300 billion this year. That works out to an average of $2,925 per refund, or $56 less than in 2012.

National Public Radio Friday had a special edition of "All Songs Considered" which was a 2-hour show on The Bealtes 1969 sessions from the Twickinham rehearsals upto the rooftop performance and centered around the recordings from bootlegs of the master tapes recently recovered by authorities in Amsterdam.
Bob Boilen hosted the show along with author of "The Beatles on Apple Records", Bruce Spizer. They historically recall these sessions with interesting facts like who mixed this and that such as Glynn Johns mix and then compared them to Phil Spector mixes of songs like Two of Us. Explaining Let it Be; Glynn John's mix with no horns was compared to the George Martin produced 45" single which the noticable difference was the added horns quietly in the background. Phil Spector's mix was the same recording of the George Martin version but the horns were brought up much louder. Also the de-Spectorized version of The Long and Winding Road was played and explained. Spizer explained that in the album and 45" versions, Spector actually stripped out Paul's vocal on the 2nd bridge "Many times I've been alone, and many times I've tried", and played the different versions.
A very worthwhile listen. Here is a link to the NPR site: All Songs Considered
There will be a video feed but for now here is the audio of the complete broadcast

Cobblestones, Cols and Cowbells - Page 7
The last time that I DNFed a race, in 1999, I awoke severely depressed the next morning. The morning after dropping from the Tor, church bells count to eight o'clock, almost in celebration. As the echo of bells fades, I hear an announcer's voice through my room's open window. Across an alleyway, in another piazza, the finish line is being set up and the audio system is being tested. I close my eyes again and try to imagine where the race's front runners are—and how exhausted they must be.
2010 Tor finisher Angela Pierotti describes the course as follows, "The first half is incredible, and the second half only gets better." That section—which is where many runners are at this point—charts a westerly course that parallels Italy's border with Switzerland, all the way back to Mont Blanc and Courmayeur. Along the way, runners continue the arduous cycle of climbing cols and descending into towns. This boggles my mind: I was spent, and the finish line would have been at least three days away, if I had run a good pace.
Somewhere out there on the course's second half, front runner and eventual second-place finisher, Frenchman Christophe Le Saux, was running within 10 minutes of the lead through mile 150. Volunteers at the next aid station where he was due grew concerned when he did not arrive. They hiked down the trail and found him asleep. After being shaken, he awoke refreshed and stormed on.
Still fighting the DNF blues, I decide to hike the race's final 20-mile stretch to make peace with this beastly course, and perhaps witness firsthand the potential carnage I expect. Like glancing at a car accident, I am morbidly curious to see what a course like this can do to a body.
The Tor's last major section begins in the small town of Saint Rhemey. A cobbled street narrows and winds up out of the valley, passing by windowed shrines to the Virgin Mary and farmers tending to slopeside fields. Sheltered public fountains provide a pleasant pause for runners. One runner sits, washing his socks, as I walk past.

Not being Chinese nor a student of calligraphy may disqualify my opinion as baseless. But, yours doesn't look like the hand of a master to me, either. When I look at the work of Gu Jingzhou, I am immediately struck by the beauty of his line and the precise quality of his incised work. The edges of the incision must never be rough nor giving a chipped look to the fine edges.
I like your pot, but putting it into the category of 'master' pot is a big step.
Still waiting for someone to post a photo of a 'vetted' ROC pot with a ball filter. It would put to rest most doubts of the pot not being ROC.
You could also send good photos to one of the Chinese auction houses in Beijing or even Christie's or Sotheby's for an evaluation. We are just amateurs here.
