Stocks Finish Lower
Stocks finished lower on Monday, as oil prices rose and several big-name companies issued profit warnings.
The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 79.57 points, or 0.78%, to 10,204.89. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 6.35 points, or 0.57%, to 1,122.20. The Nasdaq composite index ended down 2.02 points, or 0.11% at 1,908.07.
Traders have already shifted attention to Tuesday's meeting of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate setting committee. The market remains set for a quarter point hike. Chief market analyst for Standard & Poor's, Paul Cherney, notes that "a sell-off on the rate hike on Tuesday is doubtful, but strongly reassuring words in phrases unused before (about the potential for future growth in the economy) would be bullish fodder."
During Monday's session, the Nasdaq was helped somewhat by Intel (INTC ), which finished 2.3% higher on news that the company's investing organization, Intel Capital, has made more investments in companies developing digital home technology.
The market's inability to keep its head above water on Monday shouldn't be cause for concern, says Larry Wachtel, market analyst at Wachovia Securities, noting the overall weakness in the Dow, and the 1,300 stocks trading higher vs. 1,800 that are lower. "Since August, we've been kind of on a roll," he says. When the market reaches an overbought condition, notes Wachtel, "the rubber band snaps back."
Topping corporate news, shares of Colgate-Palmolive (CL ), the consumer products outfit that makes Colgate toothpaste and Irish Spring soap, ended 11% lower. The company put Wall Street on notice that second half profits will miss expectations because of higher marketing costs. The company now expects fourth-quarter earnings as high as 59 cents per share, vs. previous guidance of 71 cents. S&P reiterated its hold rating.
Meantime, Unilever (UL ), the name behind brands such as Dove and Lipton Iced Tea, was off by 5.2% on news that its third-quarter EPS will be lower than it was in 2003.
Those warnings spawned selling in other consumer staples issues, including Procter & Gamble (PG ), Kimberley-Clark (KMB ), and Clorox (CLX ).
Also raising concern Monday was news that oil prices rose above $46 per barrel, with Nymex October crude at $46.20. According to Informa Global Markets, Russian oil outfit Yukos has also re-entered the picture after announcing that it will suspend some oil exports to China, as well as oil supplies to its Lithuanian refinery until the end of the year. On the other hand, Iraqi loading from the southern Basra terminal is now up to the full two million-barrel capacity. Higher oil prices can crimp consumer spending and corporate profits.
In pharma news, OSI Pharmaceuticals (OSIP ) and Genentech (DNA ) were higher on positive clinical results from their pancreatic cancer drug, developed with Roche. The drug met its goal of improving survival. First Albany reiterated its buy rating on OSI Pharmaceuticals, and shares gained 9%, while Genentech rose 3.7%.
PMC-Sierra (PMCS ), which designs chips for telecommunications, warned that it was cutting its revenue outlook for the third quarter. Shares moved 4% higher.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ) gained on news that it has repurchased about $1.3 billion shares, while setting an additional $3 billion stock buyback. S&P reiterated its hold rating.
Investors received good earnings news from footwear and apparel company Nike (NKE ), which reported a rise in quarterly profit to $1.21 per share (diluted), vs. 98 cents one year earlier, on 18% higher revenue.
The rest of the week's earnings calendar is dominated by big-name brokerage reports. Goldman Sachs (GS ) and Lehman Brothers (LEH ) report on Tuesday, with Morgan Stanley (MWD ) and Bear Stearns (BSC ) set for Wednesday. Other companies reporting earnings this week include General Mills (GIS ) and FedEx (FDX ).
Economic data pales next to the FOMC meeting this week, but traders will get a new dose of U.S. housing data on Tuesday. "Over a slightly longer time-frame... the housing data are a bigger issue," says economic research firm, Informa Global Markets. "If one of the strongest sectors in the economy begins to cool off, it can't be ignored."
Treasury Market
U.S. Treasuries gained in price on Monday, finishing at session highs on short covering. The yield on the 10-year note fell to 4.08%. The market has discounted a 25 basis point Fed tightening tomorrow, "but [remains] anxious about post-meeting statement on intentions," notes S&P's MarketScope.
World Markets
European stock markets finished lower on Monday, but off their session lows. London's Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index shed 11.5 points, or 0.25%, to 4,579.50 following reports British mortgage lending slowed in August and that U.K. Chancellor Gordon Brown is worried about global economic growth in 2005. Britain's budget deficit narrowed more than economists had expected in August.
Germany's DAX index fell 10.39 points, or 0.26%, to 3,977.68 as oil prices rose. Consumer goods maker Henkel was lower after Unilever cut its annual profit forecast. Infineon Technologies was lower after Samsung Electronics said it expects global chip sales next year to grow at half this year's pace.
In Paris, the CAC 40 index lost 22.53 points, or 0.6%, to 3,703.69 on higher oil prices and Unilever's lower forecast. Danone was lower in reaction to Unilever's lower outlook.
In Asia, the markets finished lower on Monday. Japan's stock market was closed in observance of Respect for the Aged Day.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index eased 3.6 points, or 0.03%, to 13,221.33 with China plays trending higher after former Chinese president Jiang Zemin gave up the top job in China's military on Sunday and news that Beijing is considering implementing various market reforms to boost equity markets.

Hardwood Flooring for a Restaurant
Does anyone have an idea of the best way to put hardwood floring down in a restaurant? I am worried about water seapage because it is a bar. Is it better to glue or nail?
I guess it'll depend on the sub floor... ie; concrete, plywood, etc...
But eitherway, make sure no one wet mops which is very common in commercial spaces...
Have you considered the ceramic tile that looks like wood? I dont have a brand name for you, but I have seen it up close and it looks great. It would probably stand up to the traffic and cleaning much better than wood.

Feeding a horse in a field near Dingle in Co. Kerry.
It was a gorgeous beautiful day last September. The sky was blue and dotted with clouds and the sun shone brightly.
If you visit the Dingle Peninsula you must visit the Gallarus Oratory. It's an early Christian church, possibly built in the 6th century. There is a visitor centre but don't be fooled into paying the entrance fee. The building is a national monument and the public have a right to see it. Your entrance fee does pay for a crummy video in a dark and musty room but to be honest it's not worth it! Continue up the road and you'll find a path leading directly to the church.
Your taxes pay for the upkeep of the building so why pay another charge to see it?
Here's another shot of EI-128. Following my last shot I moved to the other side of the glider to capture some of the beach and hills behind.
This was originally shot at an angle to get as much vertical space in but I rotated the image and filled in the sand and background as well as I was able. Sand is usually quite easy to fill in because it's so uniform but there was a gradient of shade according to how damp it was that made things harder.
Last September a large group of glider enthusiasts spent a weekend at Inch Strand in Co. Kerry. They were from two clubs, one in Dublin and one from further north I think. I took down their details but that scrap of paper is long lost at this stage.
Conditions weren't the best on the day we passed the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind wasn't blowing in the right direction and the only aircraft I saw flying was a powered one. We were on our way home so couldn't wait around unfortunately. I still got some nice shots. Hopefully I'll find time to work on them over the next few weeks!
A mother drags her reluctant offspring up the main street in Killarney in early February. She was in a hurry but he didn't want to be rushed.
Mom won the battle!
PS. today is Daffodil Day, I've made a theme header you can use on your blog if you want to spread the word about cancer research and the importance of their fund raising events.
Father and son wading in the shallow water at Inch Strand, Co. Kerry last September.
I previously posted a picture of the child but this image demanded attention when I was looking for "sea" photos. I love the silhouettes, the colour, the waves and the clouds.
Happy Valentines Day!
Damien says there's only three days left to vote in the Irish Blog Awards. 1100 people have voted and apparently we're in for some shocks if voting patterns remain the way they are. So, thank you all who voted for me already, and if you haven't voted, please take two minutes to vote for In Photos in the best Photoblog section.
Dad carries the forgotten kite, daughter walks through the water and mom basks in the sun of a glorious September afternoon at Inch Strand, Co. Kerry.
Tonight is theme night at the camera club. My theme is "The sea" so I went through my archives yesterday choosing suitable photos. This will be one, which is possibly stretching the definition a little but it does have breaking waves on a beach.
Vignetting was done using an overlay layer and a separate overlay was used to make the shadows of the clouds deeper. I could have burned them in as well but I like the way it turned out.
Last September we stayed in Dingle for a weekend and had lunch in Homely House, a restaurant in the town. Check out the previous link for a picture of Brian Lapen and EagleSpirit who ran the cafe.
Unfortunately for Dingle they're now in Hawaii, and the building was destined for demolition last I heard so it's quite likely this view is gone now!
A small house is stuck between two larger buildings in Dingle, Co. Kerry. I'm not sure what caught my eye in the first place but I think it was the red door.

[post_intro] [/post_intro]
I was introduced to this spot by yet another girl I lacked the maturity to commit to. At first I was reminded of a Starbucks until the second time I visited and realized they served pretty banging food.
We sat down and talked about feelings and shit…
When I first learned of this place it was because said female wanted to get a drink while we were in the area and a friend of hers work[s/ed] there. We sat down and talked about feelings and shit, and also about her upcoming school's career day. She wanted me to talk to her students about what I did and I knew that would be a mistake but I agreed to do it anyway. When that day came, there were some ladies from Lemoni Cafe explaining to little inner-city 6th graders how mundane it is to serve people drinks and sandwiches.
After watching that, I knew that illustrating the intricacies of what an engineer does for a living would bore them so hard they'd start their lives of crime early. So I lied to them. I took some tiny tidbit from the job I was working at the time (co-designed a component which we sold to a government contractor that was then adapted by them into something that was eventually sold to NASA, or JPL, I forget) and told them I made fucking satellites that went to outer space. Those kids were so into it by the end of my bullshit they were asking me if I had ever been to space, seen an alien, or as one kid asked, "killed terrorists."
Do I feel bad about lying to those children? Of course not. It was either that or explain to them how my job is 50% documentation, 40% research, 10% execution. Midway through my speech they would wish I sold pastries.
Do I feel bad about lying to those children? Of course not.
Lemoni. Lemoni serves a pretty mean tuna sandwich that has a hefty kick of, drum-roll please… lemon. I'm generally not big on tuna sandwiches on account of mayonnaise, a.k.a. Lucifer's wife's yeast infection's liquefied scrapings, but I've gotta say I enjoyed it this time. They've got a decent hummus situation working for them as well. Now for the part I really enjoyed; their tiramisu. Awwww yeaaaaah, that tiramisu made me hard. That tiramisu was so good I went back to my old high school and turned in a 10th grade English assignment on The Great Gatsby I never completed. Bards wrote songs in my mouth about that tiramisu. Roger Moore announced he's playing James Bond from the future warning Daniel Craig's Bond about how he's going to become a little bitch if he doesn't start acting like a real goddamn Bond because of that tiramisu.
It's a cheap, hipster-chic (ugh) joint in Buena Vista. If you're in the area looking for a good sandwich in a nice environment I'd say put on your Member's Only jacket, scarf, non-prescription glasses, and other tacky shit people only wear "ironically" and order yourself a sandwich, Orangina, and tiramisu.
What is a hipster?
People who would enjoy it
Those who enjoy a great tiramisu.
People who would not enjoy it
Anyone that thought Orangina was an orange's vagina.

reported, the latest rumored specs for the Motorola DROID Bionic include a large 4.3 inch qHD display with Android 2.3.4 running the show. That means that gTalk will be supported on the handset. An improved version of the BLUR UI is also anticipated to be on the final version of the phone with some 3D aspects to it. The DROID Bionic should be Motorola's first LTE enabled device for Verizon.
Summer officially started on Tuesday, so Motorola has about 3 months to deliver the goods. That means that the Motorola DROID Bionic should rear its head sometime in the next 90 days. The question for those Verizon customers with a new phone update burning a hole in their pocket is, do I upgrade to one of the currently available new handsets, or do I wait for the DROID Bionic? Let us know what you are going to do by dropping some words in the comment box below.

Dr. Brian Johnson, Austin Peay State University interim vice president of Strategic Planning and Institutional Effectiveness, was named the seventh president of Tuskegee University earlier this week. He will assume that role on June 15, 2014, succeeding Dr. Gilbert L. Rochon.
Johnson arrived at APSU in 2010 to serve as assistant provost/assistant vice president of Academic Affairs. He earned a Ph.D. in English in 2003 from the University of South Carolina. Before joining APSU, he served as chief of staff in the president's office at Johnson C. Smith University. Johnson is the editor and author of two books on W.E.B. Du Bois, "Du Bois on Reform: Periodical-based Leadership for African Americans" (2005) and "W.E.B. Du Bois: Toward Agnosticism" (2008). He was recently named an American Council of Education Fellow, where he spent significant time at Indiana University-Purdue University of Indiana.
In 2013, Johnson was named interim vice president of the newly formed APSU Office of Strategic Planning and Institutional Effectiveness. The office is tasked with developing strategic long-range plans for the University and assisting in the development of a comprehensive planning program for APSU.
According to a release issued by Tuskegee University, that institution "was built as the intellectual epicenter of African American culture and academia and remains one of the nation's leading historically black institutions standing on a foundation of outstanding leadership in 133 years of service since its founding by Booker T. Washington. The university graduates over 75 percent of the African American veterinarians in the world and is the only Historically Black College or University (HBCU) with a fully accredited College of Veterinary Medicine that offers the doctoral degree. Tuskegee University is also the largest producer of African American STEM graduates."
The Tuskegee University Board of Trustees conducted a national search for a new president, with the board unanimously selecting Johnson for the position.

A Far North District councillor claims she was bullied by colleagues who refused to accept her apology when she was sick - after ditching her from a community board and the chief executive's review committee without telling her.
Tracy Dalton said she only found out about the loss of her roles when she read the meeting's minutes.
Back at the council table on Thursday after a medical absence, Cr Dalton demanded to know why her apology for the October meeting had not been accepted.
She said she had emailed a medical certificate, admittedly not 24 hours ahead of the meeting, and none of the councillors had contacted her to say they were unhappy with her apology. Only the secretary had contacted her to inform her she had been taken off the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board.
Mayor Wayne Brown said it was largely a ''timing issue''. A number of councillors had been missing meetings or arriving late without letting anyone know, so the motion not to accept her apology was a signal that all councillors had to make contact - preferably by phone - if they could not attend a meeting. Mr Brown said he did not see Cr Dalton's email until after the meeting.
Cr Di Maxwell, who seconded Cr Ann Court's motion not to accept the apology, said councillors felt uneasy that Cr Dalton did not attend a meeting due to illness yet was still working at her other job in Whangarei.
Cr Dalton, however, said she had taken medical leave from both positions.
''I think it's bullying,'' she said.
Councillors voted to retrospectively accept Cr Dalton's apology for the October meeting. Council staff also clarified that a medical certificate was not required for an apology to be accepted.
Cr Dalton lost her community board role at the October meeting. At a previous meeting she had been stripped of other portfolios, including her membership of the chief executive's review committee.

No. That is just just an example of how a beginner should behave, like a bee tasting many flowers, one should taste many teachings till one finds the real meaning. More or less like that. Khm, I hope this wasn't a secret.

I own a 3, almost 4 month old Pug named Lola. I have heard that pugs have a tendency to be stubborn and can be hard to house-train .. well, Lola is no exception. Granted, I work at least 8 hours a day so Lola has a big pen to play in with her bed and plenty of toys, and a puppy pad in case she has to go .. my problem is, when I get home we go outside to go potty. I live in Western NY so needless to say, it's winter. Lola will go pee outside, and then more often than not yank 2 go back upstairs, within 5-10 minutes, she's pooped on the floor!! She's probably a diva and thinks it's too cold to be outside too long, but how can I:
1 - get her to do both 1&2 outside instead of pooping upstairs?
2 - Teach her to tell me that she needs to go out.
I've read that house-training difficulties is why many owners get rid of their pets. I've had Lola for almost 2 months, and I'm sick of constantly cleaning up poop and buying expensive puppy pads each week. HELP!!

Like the title of the show that is launching their acting careers, Kay Panabaker and Jimmy Bennett are no ordinary young people.
The pair play teenage siblings Daphne and J.J Powell on No Ordinary Family - the TV2 show that has been described as Heroes meets The Incredibles. For the uninitiated, the story follows a very ordinary nuclear family who inherit superpowers. Daphne can suddenly hear everyone's thoughts and J.J is suddenly a genius. The powers couldn't have arrived at a more inconvenient time in their adolescent lives. High school is not a friendly place when you are different.
While Bennett, now 15, and Panabaker, 20, have been on the acting circuit for some time - Panabaker had recurring roles of CSI - No Ordinary Family presented them with their first leads.
Bennett, who has emerged as quite the wry comedian, says his role as an uber-geek has seen him beating off the female fans with a stick.
Meanwhile Panabaker takes a more serious tone, saying she believes the show has what it takes to entertain and reflect the realities of adolescence and suburban families.
Articulate and mature, Panabaker is very unlike her character, who would rather blend in with the crowd than be someone special - like a superhero.
In real life, Panabaker finished high school at 13, went to university and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and then decided to pursue her passion.
It's all about having a back-up plan, she says. Showbiz is brutal. Her fall-back career, should she be deemed too short or fat for a role, is to become a history teacher, she says. That way she can instil her love of learning in others.
But her first passion - for the moment anyway - is acting. That's what drove her to get through her studies so quickly. Her passion has driven her on to film and television sets, and her parents have had no choice but to support her.
She says her role as Daphne has given her plenty of food for thought. While the character seems to think her ability to read minds is more a curse than a power, Panabaker says she would quite like to know what people are thinking. It would help her sort out the genuine people from the backstabbers.
"But Daphne's a teenage girl so she really struggles with it. I mean she's going through high school. People are mean enough as it is and now she has to deal with what they really say behind her back as if they're saying it to her face and that hurts.
"I don't think she wants any power. I think she just wants to pretend that her family doesn't exist as they're crazy people and she can just live her own life," she says.
Panabaker had a very different high school experience.
"I didn't really care about having a social life when I was younger. Work was my fun time. I love set. I love working. And it was so ingrained in me that you finish high school, you go to college, and that's just the natural progression. It just went at a faster pace for me than for most people.
"I went to my high school prom, just at a younger age, but I didn't have to deal with the nastiness. I didn't have to deal with the drama that goes on in high school. I could just focus on my studies and my school and I enjoyed that. I love learning. It's the one thing I miss most about my life now, that I don't learn as much."
Meanwhile Bennett, whose character pores over physics books and whips out 27-character words, has a science and vocabulary lesson every time he is on set.
"Dictionary.com comes in handy," he says.
As the show has progressed, J.J has become less afraid of using the words that spill out of his mouth, and Bennett says he is also getting his head around them. "It's more natural than being really 'wow' with it every day," he says.
Some of the show's other actors, like Autumn Reeser who plays scientist Katie Andrews, and former star of The Shield Michael Chiklis who plays the family's dad Jim Powell, have admitted their roles have tapped into some of the Comicon fans. But Bennett insists he gets more girls than geeks contacting him through the likes of Twitter.
"They say keep it sexy. I tried to look that phrase up in the dictionary and it's nowhere to be found," he deadpans. "They just want me to keep it sexy in everything."
Who: Jimmy Bennett and Kay Panabaker What: Play J.J and Daphne Powell on No Ordinary Family
When and where: Thursdays 8.30pm, TV2.

We finally got a good streth of open road way out west, we went from about 20-90 and I had him at my passenger door.

"Reaffirming the right of all States in the region to live in peace within secure and internationally recognized borders,
"5. Condemns all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism"
These are just two of the points in the resolution, and to read it in this context it sounds as if it is very high in purpose and intention. The problem, as with all of the work that comes out of the United Nations, is that it is completely, 100% skewed against Israel and completely, 100% pro-Palestinian.
Pain and Suffering Of The Palestinian People
First and foremost, the pain and suffering being endured by the innocent civilians of Gaza is a tragedy, plain and simple. No one believes that more than Israel who is a provider of humanitarian aid to these civilians.
The problem with the U.N. and most governments and media outlets around the world, beyond the blatant ant-Israeli bias, is that no one is placing any of the blame for the need to invade Gaza where it belongs. Squarely on the head of Hamas. There is absolutely no consideration given to the barrage of missile attacks that Israel lives under, and the number of years it has been going on with no real level of retaliation by the Israelis'.
Trying To Find The U.N. Resolution Pertaining To The Missile Firings on Israel
Can't find it I guess because there isn't one!
All of the horror and indignation pointed at Israel for defending itself has been no where to be found over the past 7 years as a reported 6000 missiles have been fired indiscriminately into Israel.
First with short range missiles, and now with a longer range missile capability that Hamas is getting from someplace and someone. No thought is given by Hamas as to who might be at the other end when they are fired, unless the thought is to kill as many innocents as possible.
United Nations, where is your Resolution on this one? Would it get the same 14 votes in favor if it were ever drafted?
Now apparently Hamas has a complex series of tunnels through which these missiles and weapons are brought into Gaza.
Apparently they have no problem storing these weapons in civilian neighborhoods, schools and anywhere else the collateral damage will be the greatest!
This is the goal for Hamas. Damn the casualties of its' own people. To them it is all a public relations war and let the civilian casualties be damned.
As I have said previously, take the names and identities out of the equation and then determine if ABC Land (aka Israel) has the right to defend its' sovereign borders against an enemy that fires missiles at its' citizens with no provocation other than a hatred that has been in existence for a very long time.
I defy any other country on earth, including the 14 on the Security Council who voted for Resolution 1860, to put themselves in the position of Israel and say that their method of dealing with these attacks on its' citizens would simply turn the other cheek and let the U.N. handle things (except maybe France. Sorry France).

I love the Cube. It's a compact extruded-metal case that houses six blades that hold many Bitcoin mining ASICs on each one. With a fan on one end and a grilled opening on the other, it's easy to cool (see my tip below).
The Cube mines at 30 GH/s using some 200 watts of power, and as of this writing, they're priced at just $119 at JonesGear (plus 5 percent off when you use coupon "MacObserver"). It's also easy to overclock to 38 GH/s, though that bumps power consumption up to 280 watts.
ASICminer Cube - Front and back
Note that you need a separate PC power supply unit (PSU)—if you plan to run more than one Cube, get a PSU with the right number of connectors that supplies enough power for all of them.
Like I said, I love this device. It's stackable, it's well-built, and it only kind of looks like a piece of ugly mining gear. On the down side, it uses an early generation of ASIC, which is why it uses so much power. That ASIC also needs an older form of software that requires you to run Slush's proxy (you can also use BFGminer as a proxy in MacMiner).
I'll be writing up a tutorial on installing Slush's proxy on your Mac another time, but this is command-line world. The easiest thing would be to use BFGminer as a proxy, but when I tried that, I got less performance from the Cube.
Still, it's a good way to start mining for a relatively small investment.
Tip: The fan that the Cube comes with is NOISY. It's LOUD! If that's an issue for you, you can change out the fan, but do so at your own risk as it could void the warranty. I found that the excellent Scythe Gentle Typhoon keeps it cool at a tiny fraction of the noise. It adds to the price, but when you go to sell the Cube, put the old fan back on and keep the Scythe for your next miner.
Next: Step up to the Antminer S1

My hair looks good today, so I'm happy...for the moment. I started researching short cuts last week, after my depressive rant on youtube (see previous post)...lol I ADORE short hair, whether it be natural or relaxed. When I was relaxed, long hair was the ish! Now that I'm natural, though, I'm not feeling it on me. I'm hoping it's just the weather. Anywho, take a look at some FAB cuts I found online. Can we say GORG!!! I'm not sure what I will do with my hair yet, but I'm itching for one of these.
If I was to cut, this would be the primary shape I would go for. My hair is currently this color too.
This color combo is FAB! Not sure it would work on me, though.
If this is not my texture, it is MUEY close! LOVES IT!! It's a more accurate representation of what mine would like like with a little finagling.
Her color is what I was originally going for....oh well. This cut makes me regret not appreciating my hair when it was short. Her makeup is a more accurate representation of what mine would look like with a cut like this....lol
For more short hair porn, visit Natural Pixie on Tumblr. Thank you to the Youtuber that sent me the link!
Whatever your hair length, Stay FAB FREAKIN FIERCE!

Halloween was on Wednesday. Some would ask, if you had to make a NFL-themed costume, what would it be? I think I would get decked out as a Viking.
I would look somewhat like the Minnesota Viking, somewhat like Thor. I would get a long blonde wig, and some horns. I would also have some dark clothing and a dark cape. My costume would be capped off by brown boots, and a sword. Adrian Peterson would be proud of that costume.
Another idea I had was to have a Chiefs/Redskins chief outfit. I would paint a brown shirt to look like it had tattoos on it. I would paint my face and I would have a feathery belt and brown shorts. I would cap it off with putting some feathers in my hair.
What would your NFL Halloween costume be?

TORRINGTON >> Two local women, Michelle Kandefer and Briana Engle, after hearing about the tragic shooting inĀNewtown on Friday Dec. 14, immediately went to their local craft store and purchased materials to make bracelets to raise money for the victims.
The women attended candlelight vigils at Coe MemorialĀPark on Friday and then Saturday at City Hall in Torrington, where they spread the word about what they were doing.
That Sunday they held a bracelet making party and enlisted the help of friends and family.
Kandefer works at Brooker Memorial Daycare and Engle works at Applebee's Restaurant in Torrington. Applebees has been a big supporter of their fund-raising efforts. With their help, the bracelets have raised about $2000 to date.

The New View over Atlantis
- 24.10 x 15.90 cm
- Paperback
- 224pp
- 82 Illustrations, 0 in colour
- First published 1986
This unrivalled introduction to megalithic science, earth mysteries and the inner meaning of number and measure contributes an impressive body of evidence and argument to support the theory that at one time, many, many thousands of years ago, there was a worldwide, highly sophisticated civilization which Plato referred to as Atlantis.
Michell reveals that the various ancient stone monuments and earthworks found about the globe – from the Pyramids to Stonehenge to Teotihuacán – are not randomly strewn, but are a well-executed system of psychic centres connected worldwide and used by the people of Atlantis. Michell also demonstrates the significant modern discovery of 'leys', a mysterious network of straight lines that links the ancient places around the world.
Clues to the nature of prehistoric science, drawn from archaeology, astronomy, geology and other studies, confirm that traditional sacred places were centres of natural magic, used by Druids and other ancient seers. Current research points to the rediscovery of a principle in nature which could revolutionize our understanding – and our treatment – of our planet.

INDUSTRY - The Orange County Board of Supervisors endorsed Tuesday a proposed NFL Stadium in Industry, citing its location as easily accessible to the area and Anaheim, according to a statement from the stadium's developer, Majestic Realty.
Supervisors passed the resolution in a 3-0 vote, according to the statement. Supervisors Shawn Nelson, Bill Campbell and Janet Nguyen voted in favor of it, while Supervisor John Moorlach abstained and Supervisor Pat Bates was absent, according to the statement.
"Majestic Realty's Los Angeles Stadium will create tremendous economic benefit for Orange County. With a location just 15 minutes from the central Anaheim tourism center, the stadium offers a needed boost to Orange County's hotel and restaurant community," Nelson said in the statement.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors endorsed the project in May, and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors endorsed the project in June.
"We've always known that our stadium is the best for Los Angeles County," stadium developer John Semcken said. "But as you can tell from today's endorsement, it's clear we've created an entertainment destination for the NFL that will benefit the entire Southern California region."

It all stems from Maher's appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno in early January (embedded). Then, he elaborated on his recent feud with Trump. He said that "what got [Trump] so mad was, we did a new rule one week that, supposed that perhaps Donald Trump had been the spawn of his mother having sex with orangutan," [because] "the color of his hair and the color of an orange orangutan is only two things in nature of the same color."
As part of the joking around, Maher made an offer: $5 million to the charity of Trump's choice (Maher suggested the "Hair Club for Men" or the "Institute for Incorrigible Douchebaggery") if Trump were to prove Maher's hypothesis to be wrong.
Never the one to take a joke, Trump released his birth certificate (literally noting he is not the son of an orangutan, but instead of Fred Trump), and demanded Maher pay up. He later threatened to sue. On Monday morning, he told "Fox & Friends" that he did plan to sue Maher, around noon on Monday.
Trump said, "He promised me $5 million for charity if I provided certain information. Well I provided the information. He didn't pay. So today I sue Bill Maher for $5 million for charity.
"I accepted the offer immediately, and he didn't come through with the $5 million," he added.
When he was told that perhaps Maher was joking, Trump had a differing opinion. He said, "I don't think he was joking. He said it with venom. That was venom. That wasn't a joke. In fact he was nervous when he said it. It was a pathetic delivery."
Did Maher say it with venom? The "offer" he made when he was visiting Jay Leno is embedded below; decide for youself.

3Qs: Buying into the knockoff factor?
Retail titans Apple, Nike and Ikea have to compete with impostor replicas of their retail stores that have popped up in the southern district of Kunming city in southwest China and other parts of the world. These stores hawk knockoff products to sometimes unknowing customers. Tony Gao, an assistant professor of marketing in Northeastern's College of Business Administration, interprets the broader implications to consumer welfare, intellectual property rights protection and how these competitive behaviors affect international marketing.

Harlan Platt, a finance professor in the College of Business Administration who specializes in crisis response, says a company needs to take immediate and deliberate action if it hopes to survive a major scandal.

Reviews of this property
We have stayed in part four of us in this room. Here are two slept on an air mattress and two on the bed. Not very luxuriously, but no problem. Contact with Teddy was very good, because we had some questions in advance, but he was able to help us very quickly. During our stay, but his roommate was there, who was also very nice. All in all, recommended!
Wir haben zum Teil zu viert in diesem Zimmer übernachtet. Dabei haben zwei auf einer Luftmatratze und zwei auf dem Bett geschlafen. Nicht besonders luxeriös, aber kein Problem. Der Kontakt zu Teddy war sehr gut, da wir im Vorfeld einige Fragen hatten, er uns aber recht schnell helfen konnte. Während unseres Aufenthalts war aber nur sein Mitbewohner da, der aber auch sehr nett war. Alles in allem empfehlenswert!
My son and I we were very good, clean accommodation, central comodo.per get anywhere. Teddy was very friendly.
Io e mio figlio ci siamo trovati molto bene, alloggio pulito, centrale comodo.per raggiungere qualsiasi zona.

My advice to anyone intestined in renting this apartment is to carefully read the description about the apartment and understand it otherwise I wouldn't want anyone go through what I went through.
Welcome, and colocation no worries.
Bon accueil, et colocation sans soucis.

Highly recommend for my stay in Budapest, shining city, but above all my thanks goes to the owner of the apartment where I lived, as well as the friendliness very helpful that introduced me to a local non Budapest as tourists ... thanks Teddy .. .

Vacationy post
I hooked up today with three riders from the area, readers of this very blog who offered to not only lend me a (very nice) bicycle for three days, but also took me on a morning tour of the area. The man who lent me his cyclocross bike, Mark, told me he didn't want me to go home and write the usual "IHATELA" visitor news. I have to say, the sprawl of humanity that covers the area freaked me out at first, but I'm really warming up to Southern California. We started in Huntington Beach and headed down the Pacific Coast Highway (I called it the "PCH" and my mom said "That sounds so Californian!"). We rode to Laguna Beach and then up the canyon to Irvine, rolling through some bike-path-laced hills back toward the PCH. Fun, really mellow ride, something short of 50 miles, a little daunting with all of the traffic and two flat tires, but a refreshing and scenic taste of this piece of California. Thanks guys!
We all went to In-N-Out Burger for lunch. Their menu is, um ... limited. Sorry guys, I still don't understand the hype. But it was a fun lunch. And a great ride. This is the best aspect of being part of the cycling community - no matter where you are, you have friends.
My two little sisters flew in this morning. Just about the time they came in, every single one of the clouds in the overcast sky had burned off. Just like that. In Juneau, that kind of cloud dissipation takes weeks. I was shocked. We hit up the beach first thing.
Later, we talked them into a group bike ride with the three working bicycles we had dug up, and one that had a wobbly front wheel and off-set (and rusted permanently that way) handlebars. This picture illustrates well what my sisters thought about the bike riding.
Before the midway point of our five-mile ride, the rear brake arm on Sara's Wal-mart mountain bike snapped off and the front pads were so worn they didn't work anyway. We turned around a limped home, with Sara bombing into the grass just to stop, my dad attempting to perfect the skewed steering of the wobbly wonder, my mom pedaling some bike that made loud grinding noises with every turn of the crank, me being yelled at by a passing (not oncoming) cyclist for riding into "his" lane in the 5 mph-max zone as I was trying to help Sara, and the whole time I felt really bad about riding the good bike, which no one wanted to ride because it had drop handlebars. But we laughed about it all the way home. Yes, we tourists are silly.
But that's what it's all about.

What's in a name? Well, it can be the the cyclonic storm Nilam which is threatening to cause havoc across Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh coasts.
Incidentally, this cyclonic storm has been christened as Nilam by Pakistan as per the cyclone naming procedure.
The practice of naming tropical cyclones over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea started in September 2004.
The department received a list of names from eight nations -- Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Thailand and Sri Lanka -- which are World Meteorological Organisation panel members.
The practice helped in easy identification of the cyclones.
However, it was decided that they would not be named after any person.
Of the 64 names in the list, about 30 have been used for unique identification for forecast.
Earlier, only countries like US and Japan had the practice of referring hurricanes and typhoons by names.
The met office used to refer the systems by the region that it crossed such as 'Pamban' cyclone. The names suggested must be short and should not have any provocative meaning, officials said.

I've written about this before, but I sense the focus of much discussion in the next year or so will be the risks of doing banking online - both for business and personal purposes. The growth in online banking fraud is still increasing, due in large part to malicious software infections from web surfing that later capture your user names, account numbers and passwords during online banking logins. Brian Krebs has raised another good point about separating web browsing from online banking activities, and has generated a lot of comments on his blog from people who have strong opinions about what kind of computers are safest for online banking - a point that seems somewhat irrelevant to me.
The underlying problem is that doing risky things like surfing the web on the same computer as you use for online banking can more frequently result in being a victim of fraud. If the Streetwise Security Zone provides you no other value that this, it could you thousands of dollars!
Just a reminder of a more detailed article I published a few months ago on this topic, called "Stop, Drop and Roll":
http://www.streetwise-security-zone.com/members/streetwise/blog/VIEW/00000011/00000120/Todays-STOP- DROP-and-ROLL-to-avoid-being-the-victim-of-banking-fraud.html
Using two different computers for surfing and for online banking may seem extreme, but the occurrences of fraud are becoming so common, and the cost of a dedicated computer is getting so low, it is starting to sound like a reasonble idea - especially if you have large account balances or credit limits.

If you don't have a Mac, maybe this is an excuse to get an iPhone or iPad and to do all your banking from one of these devices? Is the future of online banking to use custom banking apps? Or are web apps good enough? Is a device good enough for doing your banking? Or are they missing something crucial, like a file system to store your statements, or Quicken?

The arc of history seems to bend toward status quo in today's Egypt. This week, Egyptians are voting on a popular referendum to approve or reject a new constitution. It's the second such constitutional referendum since the February 2011 revolution that was to change everything; the first, in late 2012, when President Mohamed Morsi was in power, approved a new constitution that carved out special powers and immunities for the military. All the same, the army suspended that constitution immediately after ousting Morsi in a July 2013 coup. This new constitution would further entrench the military's powers and its independence from civilian rule, as well as extending similar privileges to security services.
That sets up the contradiction that Egypt's military-dominated government is trying to navigate, and has been since the July coup, which was ostensibly about protecting Egyptian democracy from Morsi but looks increasingly like an assertion of military power. How do you maintain the image of a friendly, fatherly military stewarding the country toward democracy, one in which the generalissimo looks increasingly likely to run for president himself, while simultaneously continuing to tighten power on the streets and crack down on political opposition? How do you thread that needle?
It turns out to be really difficult, maybe too difficult. That contradiction, and ongoing inability of the military-dominated government to fully overcome it, was captured perfectly in an anecdote reported by Egypt-based journalist Max Rodenbeck. A long-time correspondent for the Economist who also wrote a wonderful book on the history of Cairo, Rodenbeck wrote recently on the government's simultaneous efforts to cultivate popular support (backed by funding from Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia) and to crack down on dissent. Those two missions collided, and spectacularly:
Significant sums of that generous Gulf aid have gone towards addressing this perceived image problem. Among several Washington public relations firms recently hired, one sent a film crew to Egypt to shoot some pretty footage of order and progress. Within hours of setting foot on the streets of Cairo, they were arrested.
There's a certain dark comedy to the government cracking down on the very people it had hired to promote its image. But there's a tragic element as well. In a way, isn't every arrest of a journalist or intimidation of an opposition activist similarly self-defeating, if not as glaringly so? That was supposed to be one of the principal lessons of the February 2011 revolution that started all this. It was supposed to be a lesson of Morsi's power-grabs and the fall from power it helped to enable. But it's a cycle Egypt seems to keep returning to.
Of all the powers that have attempted to rule Egypt since Hosni Mubarak's fall, and including Mubarak himself, none has succeeded in fully convincing the country of its benevolence, but neither has it been able to impose its will. But they've all tried to do both, and poorly.

A-Minus "All On You" ft. J Sun prod. Arsenic
A-Minus, a Detroit hip hop artist, I must say Detroit hip hop artist never disappoint me, and A-Minus surly didn't disappoint me. With that classic hip hop feel to his music his sound and flow are so unique, you can really tell this guy has a lot to show for. "All On You" he describes his life and some struggles he has gone through and he ties it into his come up. A-Minus tells a story about how progressing through life to all go back into his music, I really got the feel he wanted to show that each stage in his music career relates to the little things in his life, growing as a man and a rapper. A lot more to come from this guy!

Electrical conduction is the movement of electrically charged particles through a transmission medium.
The movement can form an electric current in response to an electric field.
The underlying mechanism for this movement depends on the material.
Conduction in metals and resistors is well described by Ohm's Law, which states that the current is proportional to the applied electric field.
Metals are good conductors because they have unfilled space in the valence energy band.
Another medium, a "perfect vacuum," contains no charged particles; vacuums normally behave as very good insulators.
However, metal electrode surfaces can cause a region of the vacuum to become conductive by injecting free electrons or ions through either field emission or thermionic emission.
