PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: Newcastle 1 Manchester City 3 - as it happened from St James' Park
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Newcastle host Manchester City at St James' Park to kick off the weekend's action.

All the latest from the Championship
14.39: So City take the win and close the gap to three points to league leaders Manchester United.
Newcastle battled well but have once again come up short. Testing times for Pardew and his men.
That's all from me here but click here to follow the 3pm drama as it happens. Cheerio
Full-time: Newcastle 1-3 Manchester City
90+1min: Three minutes added on at St James' Park.
88min: It really should be game over now as Aguero leads a breakaway, but he stabs his shot over the advancing Krul and wide of the post.
85min: No sign of this game petering out. Ameobi nods a header straight at Hart, before Aguero just fires wide at the other end.
82min: Newcastle are still trying though as Ba rifles over. Shane Ferguson replaces Simpson.
79min: Changes for both sides as Joleon Lescott is City's last change in replacing Tevez, while Newcastle send on Shola Ameobi for Cisse.
78min: GOAL! Newcastle 1-3 MANCHESTER CITY
Typical of this game, City go straight up the other end and put this game to bed. Silva feeds Pablo Zabaleta inside the box, whose cutback at the near post is tapped home by Yaya Toure.
77min: More pandemonium in the City box as Jonas Gutierrez fires an effort across goal, but Hart makes a crucial block.
75min: And an attacking change for Newcastle as Sylvain Marveaux replaces Tiote.
72min: Second change for City and it's the substitute Kolarov coming off with what looks like a slight knock to his knee. Edin Dzeko replaces him.
70min: Just 20 minutes remain and it's Newcastle still doing most of the attacking. Manchester City do look strong on the counter attack though.
67min: Brave defending from Coloccini. Kolarov's low ball along the six yard box is a quick one, but the defender does superbly to side-foot the ball wide with Aguero waiting at the back post. It could so easily have been an own goal.
64min: Anita swings a cross to the back post and the Newcastle fans erupt in celebration after Ba fires into the net.
It only takes a second before everyone inside the ground suddenly realises it was the outside of the side netting. Another good chance for Alan Pardew's men.
62min: Relentless pressure form the hosts now. This is their best period of the game as Anita's shot is blocked for another Toon corner.
59min: Tevez manages to run on to a through ball for City, but Krul takes a gamble by coming to the corner of the penalty box to confront him.
It pays off for the Dutchman as he blocks the Argentine's effort before clearing his lines.
56min: The home fans sense a comeback and the atmosphere has increased inside the ground. Back on the pitch, Kolo Toure and Perch are booked.
53min: So nearly level! Cisse picks up the ball on the edge of the box, but the striker rifles a powerful effort just over the crossbar. That was a good chance
Back in the game: Demba Ba's header handed Newcastle a lifeline
51min: GOAL! NEWCASTLE 1-2 Manchester City
Game on! Fabricio Colocini hooks a high ball back into the penalty box and Demba Ba beats the offside trap to head past a stranded Hart.
49min: Santon will be keen to make amends after his howler for the second goal and he goes close to doing just that.
The full-back cuts inside to the penalty box, making space for a shot before firing low into the outside of the side netting. Hart looked like he had it covered though.
48min: It's Newcastle that have started on the front foot again. Titote's lofted ball to the back post finds Ba, but the striker heads over under pressure.
Evasive action: Newcastle's Danny Simpson slides in on Manchester City's Gael Clichy
Second half: No additional changes as we restart at St James' Park.
13.40: From OptaJoe:
33 per cent - A third (33 per cent) of Newcastle's PL goals in 2012-13 have come in the 15 mins after HT, a higher proportion than any other side. Hope.
13.35: It's been a strange game. Manchester City have played some great football, dominated the majority of the game and could be further in front with the chances missed.
Newcastle though have caused mass panic a couple of times in the visiting defence and all hope is not yet lost for the Toon to get something out of this match.
Half-time: Newcastle 0-2 Manchester City
45+1min: Three minutes added on to the first half.
45min: It's not been a stroll for City as Newcastle prove here.
Simpson's tricky footwork enable him to deliver a lofted cross to the back post where Cisse wins a corner.
The set-piece sails over everyone's head but Newcastle have had opportunities.
42min: From OptaJoe:
9 - Newcastle have now conceded nine goals from headers in the Premier League this season; more than any other side. Noggin.
Head boy: Javi Garcia doubled Manchester City's lead with a header
39min: GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 MANCHESTER CITY
Krul makes a fantastic save with his foot to deny Tevez but the visitors soon find a second goal.
From the following corner, Javi Garcia wins a header that Davide Santon makes a mess of trying to clear off the line - only succeeding in deflecting the ball into his own net.
37min: Aguero is booked for a trip as Aleksandar Kolarov replaces Nasri.
35min: City are down to 10 men for the moment as Nasri looks like he has picked up a groin strain.
He has gone off for treatment down the tunnel so I don't expect to see him back on the pitch.
32min: A decent try from Cisse, but the striker's 25-yard strike whistles over Hart's crossbar.
30min: For once though, Newcastle do not threaten from a cross as Anita's delivery from the set-piece is cleared easily.
29min: Tevez and Aguero both have efforts that fly wide before the latter gives away a free-kick on the left side of the Manchester City box.
27min: A second booking for Newcastle as Danny Simpson is cautioned for tripping David Silva.
26min: But when Newcastle do create chances, they go very close!
Another knockdown header sees Hart desperately slide clear the ball before diving low to to his left to deny Williamson moments later.
Unwelcome present: A blue flare was thrown down on to the Newcastle fans shortly after Aguero's goal
23min: It says much about the game that Newcastle's brightest hope in the last few minutes has been seeing Nasri go down injured.
The midfielder has terrorised the hosts who have hardly put an attack together in the last 15 minutes.
The Frenchman receives treatment and is okay to continue.
20min: More brilliant football from City. One-touch passing in the box sees Nasri hit the post from an acute angle, before Aguero's rebound into an open goal is superbly blocked on the line by Williamson.
18min: From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman:
'Nasri laid low with migraines all week. Great effort even to play today.'
Only the Newcastle defenders look like they have headaches based on the Frenchman's lively start.
16min: Nearly 2-0 to City, but Nasri's teasing low ball to the back post is just too far in front of the sliding Tevez. It seems a long time ago now since Newcastle's fast start.
15min: Tevez's quick feet are too much for Mike Williamson who trips the forward and picks up a booking.
13min: The momentum in this game has swung towards City now, who have taken control. Silva plays a one-two in the box before cutting back for Tevez to fire straight at Tim Krul.
Converted: Sergio Aguero taps home to hand Manchester City the lead at Newcastle
10min: GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY
And here is a goal. Yaya Toure expertly picks out a fine run by Samir Nasri, who times it to perfection to beat the offside trap, before squaring for Sergio Aguero to tap home into an empty net.
9min: Well, here is a glimpse. Carlos Tevez escapes his marker down the right before his low cross for Sergio Aguero sees the striker have a shot well blocked by Tim Krul.
An incorrect offside flag had already been raised but finally the champions have woken up.
7min: More aerial pressure form the hosts as Mike Williamson's knock down header for Demba Ba is gobbled up by Hart with the striker poised to shoot. We haven't seen anything from City's attacking players yet.
5min: Newcastle are dominating the early stages as Vurnon Antia's corner towards the near post is punched clear by Hart.
2min: Brilliant save from Joe Hart. A Cheick Tiote cross from the right is volleyed low towards the bottom corner by Papiss Cisse, but the England international makes a crucial block before his defence mop up the danger.
On the ball: Manchester City's Sergio Aguero attempts to escape the attention of Newcastle's Cheick Tiote
Kick-off: Away we go then.
12.42: Very late Autumn sunshine baths St James' Park, as the players make their way out.
12.39: Newcastle boss Alan Pardew spoke to Sky Sports before the game:
'This is a good time to play Manchester City, their two best centre-backs are not starting so we have a good chance.'
12.37: In fact that last statistic goes further. Last season, Manchester City won six games out of six with the Argentine duo in attack as well. Lucky 13?
12.35: From InfostradaLive:
Tevez and Aguero start together for Manchester City. It is the sixth time they start together in the PL this season. They have won all five previous matches, scoring four goals each.
12.32: ...and after you have read that, check out our brand new Betting Slip column that could give you a few more pounds in your pocket for some last minute Christmas shopping.
Replacement: James Perch stands in the for the injured Hatem Ben Arfa
12.27: Just over 15 minutes until kick-off, so why not check out Martin Keown's preview of all the weekend's action with his Boot Room...
12.22: Anyone remember this fixture last season? It was City's penultimate game of the campaign having just gone top of the table after defeating Manchester United.
It was a tense affair before Yaya Toure scored two late goals to hand Mancini's side a 2-0 win.
It's often the forgotten game sandwiched in between the Manchester derby and THAT clash with QPR.
12.19: Striker Mario Balotelli was conspicuous by his absence at Newcastle as Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini looks for a reaction to their derby day defeat.
The Italian, who was hauled off during the 3-2 home loss to rivals Manchester United, makes way along with the suspended Gareth Barry and the injured Vincent Kompany as Carlos Tevez, Javi Garcia and Kolo Toure are recalled.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has to do without dangerman Hatem Ben Arfa, who returned from a hamstring injury in Monday night's 2-1 defeat at Fulham, after he suffered a recurrence with James Perch taking his place.
12.14: The pressure may be on Roberto Mancini to get the league champions' season back on track, but according to David Silva, who visited Manchester Children's hospital this week, it's ultimately the players that should be taking responsibility for results.
12.11: Full line-ups from St James' Park:
Newcastle v Man City
Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Perch, Tiote, Anita, Gutierrez, Cisse, Ba.
Subs: Elliot, Bigirimana, Marveaux, Shola Ameobi, Sammy Ameobi, Ferguson, Tavernier.
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Nastasic, Kolo Toure, Clichy, Javi Garcia, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Aguero, Silva, Tevez. Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Dzeko, Sinclair, Kolarov, Rekik, Razak.
Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)
Recalled: Kolo Toure has replaced the injured Vincent Kompany for Manchester City
12.06: From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman:
'Interestingly, Mancini thinks Kolo is better 'instinctive' defender than Kompany and the others. Thinks he sniffs out danger better.
'Sadly, that has to be balanced against fact that Kolo is no longer much of an athlete. If indeed he is one at all.'
12.03: Compare that to Newcastle and they are not in much of a crisis at all.
The Toon have won just once in ten games since the start of November and they are a slightly worrying two points above the bottom three in the table.
I'm slightly surprised by that as when I have seen them live this season, they have tended to play well.
12.00: A big day for Manchester City then. They lost a two-year unbeaten home record, their unbeaten start to the season and the local bragging rights to Manchester United last weekend.
What sort of response can we expect from them? Roberto Mancini's side face a big test of character.
11.57: From OptaJoe:
5 - Demba Ba has scored five goals in his last six Premier League appearances at St James Park. Threat.
11.54: From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman:
'The Kolo/Nastasic reasoning is indeed the left foot/right foot thing. Which i guess is an indication of modern players inability to use both.'
11.51: Newcastle starting XI:
Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Perch, Tiote, Anita, Cisse, Ba, Gutierrez.
11.48: Manchester City starting XI:
Hart, Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Tevez, Aguero.
11.45: Good afternoon folks, welcome to a weekend absolutely full to the brim with sport that begins here in the Premier League (not including a few overs bowled in India) as Newcastle host Manchester City.
I'm going to call it now and say this match has a good chance of being my highlight over the next two days. It's a big call and we will find out within a couple of hours' time whether it's an inspired or ridiculous one. Team news on the way.

33 Books Co. Blog
My Books, Your Logo March 30 2017, 0 Comments
I get asked about co-branded "33" books almost every day, which I take as a huge compliment. I'm delighted when people want to align their brand with my pocket tasting notebooks! Historically, doing so has required high minimums and cost.
I was delighted to discover a new solution recently — an awesome, American-made machine sold by Ernest Schaefer Inc. that lets me add custom, foil-stamped imprints to my in-stock tasting notebooks!
This machine allows me to create logo'd books with quick turnarounds (about a week from order to shipment), very low minimums (24 books!) and you can mix-and-match titles in your order to hit my normal price breaks.
Logo imprinted books make great retail items in tasting rooms, or use them at special tastings or events (wedding favors?).
To order, simply complete my inquiry form and let me know the number and flavor of books you'd like to imprint. I'll eventually need your high-resolution, one-color logo or artwork. I prefer Adobe Illustrator (.ai) if you have it. We'll collaborate from there!
A 7.09 Year Reunion February 07 2017, 0 Comments
It was super fun to run into Chris at last weekend's Artisinful Chocolate and Beer Festival at Culmination Brewing. As he walked past, he waved his book at me as he passed by my table.*
Seeing the faded ink from across the room (I am a designer with very sensitive eyes, you know), I said, "Wow, that looks like an old one!"
To which Chris replied, "I've had it a long time.**" When he got closer, I asked to examine the book, and when he flipped it, I saw a familiar logo, marking his book as either a first or second edition. Those printings were the only ones which used the BS Brewing*** logo. After that, everything said "33 Books," as that little book slowly became a little business.
Fun memory - and great to meet a longtime fan! Thanks for sharing, Chris!
* Actually, my electric delivery trike.
** If you're wondering why he hasn't filled it up yet, Chris told me he reserves it for "very special" beers only. He brought it to the fest in case he encountered something really magical, but has set the bar so high he doesn't always record a beer at every fest!
*** I started 33 Books Co. in November of 2009, as a side-gig to my side-gig: blogging part-time at BSBrewing.com. I was still gainfully employed as Creative Director at a small interactive (websites, apps, etc) ad agency in Portland. Little did I know what kind of an adventure that little book would lead me on!
Holiday Shipping Deadlines (and Buttons!) November 28 2016, 2 Comments
I've been busy all year stocking stuff to stuff your stockings. Wait, that doesn't sound right ... What I mean to say is that I'm all geared up and ready to help you fulfill your holiday gift-giving dreams with a stockroom full of great gifts for those with great taste.
From now until I run out, I'll be including a 1-inch round "I have Great Taste" button with every order, my little gift to you.
Speaking of gifts ...
When Should I Order to Receive Stuff for Christmas Morning?
United States
Standard Shipping:order by Noon on Friday, December 16th
- Priority Shipping: order by Noon on Tuesday, December 20th
I'm in Portland, Oregon, so all times are Pacific Standard. Allow an extra two business days for APO/FPO addresses, and US Territories (I'm looking at you, Guam!)
Everywhere Else
I can't guarantee anything once it leaves Portland. Customs processing in the US or in your country can be totally hit-or-miss. Generally, things take 7-10 business days to arrive once they ship, but again, no guarantees. I do promise to ship your items within 1 business day of your order to improve your chances of gift-giving greatness!

A Vending Machine for Those with Great Taste November 14 2016, 3 Comments
When I was looking to move 33 Books Co. out of my garage this spring, I looked at a lot of prospective spaces. I knew I wanted something larger than my garage, with ground-floor access, and ... somewhere that I could sell my books directly to consumers: brick-and-mortar. A store. The final frontier.
I had big ideas. Classes! New products! Booze! A cash register!
And then I remembered an important detail: I don't particularly want to work retail! Set hours, schedules, the public ... no offense, but I like peace and quiet, time to design and print and make, where I can play loud music and listen to podcasts while I work.
Thankfully, I had this realization before signing that lease, and am now located inside a working cidery (Cider Riot!) where I am happily shipping books and maps and coins all over the world, alone and happy.
But, as fate would have it, my friends at said cidery opened a public taproom this summer, which re-opened the possibility of selling directly to you, gentle reader.
Rather than open a "book window" or standing awkwardly in the corner with a cash box and a box of books, I decided to use the power of techmology, in the form of a circa-1998 vending machine (a restored AP-111, if you're curious).
I am pleased to introduce to you the 33 Books Co. Automated Bookshop and Larder.
It's stocked with 20 books of my own design, Drinking Coins on demand, and a small selection of my favorite goods from Olympia Provisions, Woodblock Chocolate, Daneson, Smith Tea and Portland Bee Balm should you require logbooks or sustenance while enjoying some of Portland's finest English-style dry cider.
It's open - like the taproom - Wednesday through Sunday. For current hours, check out the Cider Riot! web site.
Come see it (don't forget the folding money*):
33 Books Co. Automated Bookshop and Larder
(inside Cider Riot!)
807 NE Couch St.
Portland, OR 97232
* The machine takes $1 and $5 bills, plus coins.
It's a Small World, After All September 29 2016, 0 Comments
I just returned from the Canadian Coffee and Tea Show in Toronto. Beyond being a great excuse to visit a new city, it was a reminder how simultaneously small and large our world really is.
Next to my booth: a Canadian born in Mexico City who imports coffee from Africa and the Americas. Later, a friend from Africa stopped by to chat about the coming U.S. election.
And me, a boy from Iowa — in Canada for the second time ever — drinking it all in, literally and figuratively.
It was the perfect place to debut my new coffee tasting map.
With it, and the help of your local roaster, you can take a journey of your own around the world of coffee, trying (and logging) samples from the 40 countries growing the world's best Arabica beans.
It's the product of a lot of design experimentation, and an awful lot of research. I hope you enjoy your own journey. I know I did.
It's a Tough Job, But Somebody Has to Do It! September 19 2016, 0 Comments
I just got back this morning from a quick (23 hours!) trip down to San Francisco, one of my favorite cities on the planet. It's got a killer food and drink culture, and I always try to visit a few new places (recommended: Cellar Maker Brewing) and stay in touch with some of my favorites (Zeitgeist: much more fun with a group).
I was there judging the Confections category for the Good Food Awards. I have judged before, but this was a new one for me (and pretty delicious, too).
With beer, wine, cider, and probably every other beverage, there are general style guidelines (e.g. "IPA" or "Chardonnay") you can reference when evaluating a particular sample. The Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP, for short) publishes very well-defined guidelines for hundreds of beer styles (Foreign Export Stout, India Pale Ale, Barleywine, etc.). When judging beer, you can compare the sample beer to this ideal, and note any deviations, which usually count as penalties. This removes most of the subjectivity from judging.
But it also reduces the impact of how pleasurable a particular product is (in the BJCP judging system, only 10 of 50 possible points are reserved for "overall impression").
I found it refreshing, then, when I got to the Good Food Awards tasting, and was told only to evaluate each confection on its sensory merits. How did it look? How did it taste? Did it meet your expectations for flavor as it was described?
I had a great time focusing on the flavors I was experiencing, and not worrying too much about what it was "supposed" to taste/look like. There were some surprises in there - who knew I could actually enjoy a marshmallow - and a whole lot of sugar, too.
Not a bad day at the office.
"Are There Really 33 Kinds of Oyster?" May 28 2015, 0 Comments
When Julie Qiu of the In a Half Shell oyster blog approached me about collaborating on an oyster journal, I wasn't sure. I like oysters quite a bit personally, but are there really enough out there for a whole book? "Definitely," was her answer, and after spending time working with her on this new member of the "33" family, and sampling several dozen oysters, I'm delighted to say I agree with her!
America is home to five distinct species of oysters, and every bay or inlet where they are grown provides another layer of differentiation. Oyster aficionados call this sense of place "merroir," after the French word "terroir," and we can borrow one more wine word while we're at it: appellation, or "place name." There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of US oyster appellations, and 33 Oysters is a way to track your journey as you sample them.
Terroir is a term most commonly applied to wine grapes, and it refers to the unique properties of a wine's home that can show in a wine's flavor and aroma. Soil quality, rainfall, altitude, sunlight and many other geography-related factors can decide why a Chardonnay grown in Champagne tastes this way, and this California version - same grape, remember - tastes completely different.
In the same way, merroir can help explain the differences in flavor between different oysters. A C. gigas (aka "Pacific oyster") grown in Netarts Bay, Oregon tastes completely different from the C. gigas grown farther north in Washington.
Which is all a very long way of saying, "There are a LOT of oysters out there."
Bon voyage!

A (Not-so-Brief) History of 33 Books Co., Part 1 November 05 2014, 0 Comments
The story of 33 Books Co. could begin a few places. In 2001, when I moved to Portland, Oregon, and first experienced its amazingly vibrant beer culture. That was also my first visit to the legendary Horse Brass. I opened the beer menu and thought to myself, "40 beers?! There's no way I could ever drink that many!" I had a lot to learn about my new home.
Behind the United States of Beer Map October 07 2013, 2 Comments
When I first designed 33 Bottles of Beer, my goal was to create something small and portable that made taking notes on beers I tried fast and easy.
Four years later, I think I've succeeded, with nearly 100,000 copies printed, a fact I still find incredibly hard to believe. I agonized on printing that initial run, wondering if I'd be giving them away for gifts for decades to come, or using them to steady tipsy tables.
I've filled a good number of the books myself, most while attempting my "beer a day" project back in 2010. And while writing things down has helped me a great deal in remembering details about the beers I've enjoyed (or not), it's always felt a little solipsistic.
So I created this map.
With it, you can try a beer from each state in the US, logging it as you would with the standard 33 Beers book. There's a flavor wheel, and space for recording the beer's name, brewer, date you tried it, and your own rating, from 1 to 5 stars. Here's a great beer from Minnesota, Surly Brewing's Overrated! West Coast IPA.
The poster lets you take your reviews out of your pocket 33 Beers book, and put them on display for all to see. It makes a great visual for your cube, office, home bar, man cave, lady lair, dorm room ... I can't wait to see where they end up.
Post your poster photos on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #unitedstatesofbeer and let's see who fills one out first, starting ... NOW.
Featured Partner: A Kitchen Box August 22 2013, 1 Comment
One of the best things about my day is finding out all the cool ways "33" books are used. The stories of personal enlightenment, great travel experiences, discoveries make this a really fulfilling job.
I also get to work with a lot of really interesting partner businesses, one of which is called "A Kitchen Box." You may already be familiar with the box model, but if not, there are a growing number of interesting mail subscription services that provide you a package full of unique and engaging goods on a monthly or quarterly basis (check out the "Must Have Boxes" blog for a nice list/review). Usually there is some theme - in this case, culinary items - but the contents are a surprise until you actually receive the box. It's kind of like a mini-Christmas every month. Here's what it looked like when I opened mine a few weeks ago.
Score! Freddy Guys Hazelnuts are a favorite stop of mine at the Portland Farmers Market, and while they're available in grocery stores here in Oregon, I think it's awesome the rest of the world gets to try them now. They are awesome (pro tip: get the pancake mix should you be lucky enough to visit their farmer's market stall).
33 Pieces of Cheese was featured in AKB's inaugural box, along with a lot of other really fun cheese-themed items, including a neato bamboo cheese spreader, flour sack towel, original letterpressed "fig and onion jam" recipe, porcelain cheese place cards, cheese storage papers ... I'm trying not to ruin the surprise, but there's a lot of fun stuff in there.

In eighth-day-b(*fore-eIe( tion campaign finance reports filed Monday, the city's three PACs ref)ortec! receiving contributions totaling $2 1,720. That brings total reported contributions since mid-September, when the PACs started campaigning, to $36,510. Billy's Ice House of New Braunfels^ a popular live-music venue, hqids the distinction of being the largest contributor, with $8,117 in donations and pledges to the Can the Ban PAC, which is fighting the propi)sed ban on beer cans and other f()()d-a nd-f 1 rink disposabIes, Purchases of newspap('r, radio, billboard and TV ads; signs and sign materials; T-shirts; and the printing and mailing of campaign fliers are among the ways the three PACs have sf)ent the» contributed thousands, according to the reports. Reported spending reached $2'V^^^ for all thr('e PA( s since campaigning began. Voters can expe( t more c am-paign spending. The PAC.'s re[)orted they still had a total of $7,081 in contributions left to spf*nd.

San Antonio St. The committee's first three meetings have foe used on presentations from city staffers regarding issues city couru il has asked it to try to solve, including congestc'd traffic and parking, making tubing revenue neutral or profitable' for c ity government, and improving safety for policemen, other city workers, residents and tourists. On Wedriesday, for the first time, the group will break up into subcommittees to begin fashioning its re c o m m e n d a t i o n s. One will tackle traffic and parking. The second, tubing revenues. The third, safe-ty. The committee will also hear presentations from Police Chief Tom Wibert and from Schlitterbahn. Working on a fast track, the committee is expected to l)ring its recommendations to city council on Dec. 12. At its last mt'eting on Oct. 27, River Activities Manager Nathan Pence detailed the parking and traffic difficulties in the city's Prince Solms Park-centered Comal River tubing zone, where pedestrians, hetwy traffic, outfitters' shuttle's and neighborhood residents all come together. The group also discussed spreading the word across the state about the tubing changes the grouf) will rec ommend. The committee seemed to agree the city's Convention and Visitors Bureau will be able to handle marketing those ideas.

Thin Wall Spray Concrete Overlay Self Bonding – WallSpray by SureCrete
Wall Spray is a concrete wall spray overlay that is a cement-based overlay designed for both interior and exterior vertical surfaces. It offers a wide variety of finishes from a simple knock-down to a sophisticated faux Venetian Plaster. WallSpray concrete wall overlay may be applied by compressed air spray equipment and by trowel. Restoration, repair, resurfacing, architectural accenting, and surface protection of existing cladding are all realized through Wall Spray. Typical areas include retention walls, entry/accent walls, columns, gable ends, fireplace accents, and any other vertical surfaces or walls. WallSpray concrete wall overlay is formulated to provide excellent bonding to new as well as existing concrete, concrete block, ICF, polystyrene foam, drywall, plaster, plywood, and even painted surfaces.
WallSpray concrete wall overlay has been formulated as a lightweight, sprayable, copolymer based coating for increasing the flexural strength, fire rating, and "R" value of exterior surfaces. Typical applications include ICF, SIP, EIFS, Concrete Block, Concrete Tilt-Up, EPS and Architectural Foam. For professionals looking for a more versatile and much stronger vertical surface coating than stucco or other related products, Wall Spray can provide a much-needed improvement in your finished surface, while providing savings over an entire coatings project by reducing labor costs and project timelines. And, if you know how to use a hopper gun or other similar equipment, even a homeowner or weekend warrior working on DIY projects can apply the Wall Spray product on their home exterior or even on interior decorative walls.
Wall Spray is relatively simple to apply if you have the right equipment:
Although any use of mesh will increase flexural strength, it is only required across non-concrete surfaces or concrete surfaces that are cracked and unsound.
Yes, although it is a much slower process, troweling instead of spraying Wall Spray is a perfectly acceptable application method.
While mixing in large batches can be done, it is important to never mix up more than can be applied within a 45 minute time frame.
Coverage Approx 28-30 square foot @ 1/4″ (Varies based on substrate and application) VOC Rating 0 g/L Shelf Life 1 year in original unopened container Mixing Ratio 3.5 – 4 quarts water per 40 lb bag Density 121 lbs/cubic foot Compressive Strength ASTM C-109: 2,870 PSI @ 28 days Flexural Strength ASTM C-348: 950 PSI @ 28 days Tensile Strength ASTM C-190: 140 PSI @ 28 days Abrasion Resistance 28 days %loss – 500 cycles – less than 0.40% Mosaic Shear ANSI A 118.4: 275 PSI @ 28 days concrete Wall Overlay Water Permeability ASTM D2247: Passes Freeze/Thaw @ 50 cycles

A group of sprinters gather at point P on a parking lot bordering a beach. They must run across the parking lot to a point Q on the beach as quickly as possible. Which path from P to Q takes the least time? You should consider the relative speeds of the sprinters on the hard surface of the parking lot and on loose sand. 1. a 2. b 3. c 4. d 5. e 6. All paths take the same amount of time.
Suppose the sprinters wish to get from point Q on the beach to point P on the parking lot as quickly as possible. Which path takes the least time? 1. a 2. b 3. c 4. d 5. e 6. All paths take the same amount of time.
When a ray of light is incident on two polarizers with their polarization axes perpendicular, no light is transmitted. If a third polarizer is inserted between these two with its polarization axis at 45° to that of the other two, does any light get through to point P ? 1. yes 2. no
When a third polarizer is inserted at 45° between two orthogonal polarizers, some light is transmitted. If, instead of a single polarizer at 45°, we insert a large number N of polarizers, each time rotating the axis of polarization over an angle 90° / N, 1. no light 2. less light 3. the same amount of light 4. more light gets through.
An observer O, facing a mirror, observes a light source S. Where does O perceive the mirror image of S to be located? 1. 1 2. 2 3. 3 4. 4 5. Some other location. 6. The image of S cannot be seen by O when O and S are located as shown.
The observer at O views two closely spaced lines through an angled piece of plastic. To the observer, the lines appear (choose all that apply) A. shifted to the right. B. shifted to the left. C. spaced farther apart. D. spaced closer together. E. exactly as they do without the piece of plastic.
A fish swims below the surface of the water at P. An observer at O sees the fish at 1. a greater depth than it really is. 2. the same depth. 3. a smaller depth than it really is.
A fish swims below the surface of the water. Suppose an observer is looking at the fish from point O' straight above the fish. The observer sees the fish at 1. a greater depth than it really is. 2. the same depth. 3. a smaller depth than it really is.
A parallel beam of light is sent through an aquarium. If a convex glass lens is held in the water, it focuses the beam 1. closer to the lens than 2. at the same position as 3. farther from the lens than outside the water.
A lens is used to image an object onto a screen. If the right half of the lens is covered, 1. the left half of the image disappears. 2. the right half of the image disappears. 3. the entire image disappears. 4. the image becomes blurred. 5. the image becomes fainter.
The lens in an overhead projector forms an image P ' of a point P on an overhead transparency. If the screen is moved closer to the projector, the lens must be: 1. moved up 2. left in place 3. moved down to keep the image on the screen in focus.
Monochromatic light shines on a pair of identical glass microscope slides that form a very narrow wedge. The top surface of the upper slide and the bottom surface of the lower slide have special coatings on them so that they reflect no light. The inner two surfaces ( A and B) have nonzero reflectivities. A top view of the slides looks like 1. I. 2. II.
Monochromatic light shines on a pair of microscope slides that form a very narrow wedge. The top slide is made of crown glass (n = 1.5) and the bottom slide of flint glass (n = 1.7). Both slides are immersed in sassafras oil, which has an index intermediate between those of the two slides. The top surface of the upper slide and the bottom surface of the lower slide have special coatings on them so that they reflect no light. The inner two surfaces ( A and B ) have nonzero reflectivities. A top view of the slides looks like: 1. I. 2. II.
Consider two identical microscope slides in air illuminated with monochromatic light. The bottom slide is rotated (counterclockwise about the point of contact in the side view) so that the wedge angle gets a bit smaller. What happens to the fringes? 1. They are spaced farther apart. 2. They are spaced closer together. 3. They don't change.
Two identical slides in air are illuminated with monochromatic light. The slides are exactly parallel, and the top slide is moving slowly upward. What do you see in top view? 1. all black 2. all bright 3. fringes moving apart 4. sequentially all black, then all bright 5. none of the above
Diffraction occurs when light passes a: A. pinhole. B. narrow slit. C. wide slit. D. sharp edge. E. all of the above
The Huygens-Fresnel principle tells us to pretend that each point of a wavefront in a slit or aperture is a point source of light emitting a spherical wave. Is this true only for points inside the slit? What if there is no slit? The Huygens-Fresnel principle really applies 1. to any point anywhere in a beam path. 2. to any point in a beam path where matter is present. 3. only in slits or apertures.
If the Huygens-Fresnel principle applies to any point anywhere in a beam path, why doesn't a laser beam without any slit spread out in all directions? 1. Because all waves that spread interfere destructively. 2. It does spread, but the spread is so small that we normally don't notice it. 3. We can't apply the Huygens-Fresnel principle anywhere but in slits and apertures.
Imagine holding a circular disk in a beam of monochromatic light. If diffraction occurs at the edge of the disk, the center of the shadow of the disk is 1. a bright spot. 2. darker than the rest of the shadow. 3. bright or dark, depending on the distance between the disk and the screen. 4. as dark as the rest of the shadow, but less dark than if there is no diffraction.
The pattern on the screen is due to a narrow slit that is 1. horizontal. 2. vertical.
Suppose we cover each slit in Young's experiment with a polarizer such that the polarization transmitted by each slit is orthogonal to that transmitted through the other. On a screen behind the slits, we see: 1. the usual fringe pattern. 2. the usual fringes shifted over such that the maxima occur where the minima used to be. 3. nothing at all. 4. a fairly uniformly illuminated elongated spot.
A diffraction grating is illuminated with yellow light at normal incidence. The pattern seen on a screen behind the grating consists of three yellow spots, one at zero degrees (straight through) and one each at ±45°.You now add red light of equal intensity, coming in the same direction as the yellow light. The new pattern consists of 1. red spots at 0° and ±45°. 2. yellow spots at 0° and ±45°. 3. orange spots at 0° and ±45°. 4. an orange spot at 0°, yellow spots at ±45°, and red spots slightly farther out. 5. an orange spot at 0°, yellow spots at ±45°, and red spots slightly closer in.
A planar wave is incident on a pair of slits whose whose width and separation are comparable to the wavelength of the incident wave. Seen on a screen behind the slits is/are 1. two spots, one behind each slit. 2. only one spot, behind the center of the pair of slits. 3. many spots distributed randomly. 4. many spots distributed evenly.
An interference pattern is formed on a screen by shining a planar wave on a double-slit arrangement (left). If we cover one slit with a glass plate (right), the phases of the two emerging waves will be different because the wavelength is shorter in glass than in air. If the phase difference is 180°, how is the interference pattern, shown left, altered? 1. The pattern vanishes. 2. The bright spots lie closer together. 3. The bright spots are farther apart. 4. There are no changes. 5. Bright and dark spots are interchanged.
For a given lens diameter, which light gives the best resolution in a microscope? 1. red 2. yellow 3. green 4. blue 5. All give the same resolution.
Blue light of wavelength passes through a single slit of width a and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If the blue light is replaced by red light of wavelength 2, the original diffraction pattern is reproduced if the slit width is changed to 1. a /4. 2. a /2. 3. No change is necessary. 4. 2 a. 5. 4 a. 6. There is no width that can be used to reproduce the original pattern.
A planar wave is incident on a single slit and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. The pattern has a central, zero th -order maximum and a number of secondary maxima. The first order maximum is formed in a direction where light from the top third (a) of the slit cancels light from the middle third (b). The intensity of the first-order maximum is thus due only to the bottom third of the light through the slit (c) and is therefore roughly 1/9 of the intensity I of the central maximum. What is the intensity of the second-order maximum? 1. I / 4 2. I / 9 3. I / 16 4. I / 25

The victim, Awais Akram, was transformed from a normal 25-year-old into what a witness called "a cross between a zombie from a horror movie and the Incredible Hulk". He had life-threatening burns on his head and body.
Mr Akram had been targeted because an "intimate" relationship he had been having with Sadia Khatoon was discovered by her husband and family.
Today Khatoon's brother Mohammed Vakas, 26, of Walthamstow, was sentenced after being found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
Her cousin, trainee solicitor Mohammed Adeel, 20, also of Walthamstow, was jailed for 14 years and Fabion Kuci, of Harlesden, who was 16 at the time of the attack, was given eight years in a young offender institute after they were convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
The Common Serjeant of London Brian Barker QC lifted a court order so that Kuci could be named. The judge said: "This was a terrible crime and all right-thinking citizens reject the premises on which it was done — there is no honour and plots such as these have no place in our society."
He said Mr Akram was targeted "to punish and kill him in the most cruel and sadistic way". He added: "Mr Akram didn't die but his suffering is almost impossible to imagine and he was left in a living nightmare."
Earlier Mr Akram spoke of his terror as acid was poured over his head and body. "My whole body started to burn," he said. "I just felt that I would be dead. Death was, I felt, a better
He faces a lifetime of treatment and says he still lives in fear. Khatoon and her husband Shakeel Abassi were named as co-conspirators in the murder plot but have fled to Pakistan.
The court had heard Danish-born Mr Akram and Khatoon had liaisons in Khatoon's car and home after meeting through their Facebook pages.
Khatoon was later forced to lure him into "a deadly trap" in Leytonstone, near his home, last July where he was stabbed and beaten and had sulphuric acid poured on him, inflicting 47 per cent burns.
He needed surgery including amputation of his ears, loss of his right eye, a corneal transplant and two months in intensive care, but he recovered enough to give evidence behind a screen.Reuse content

Ideally you want a current mode boost converter otherwise you won't get the best out of the led. Laser diodes are also current mode devices ;) An LM317 can be used as a very basic current source but won't boost the voltage only drop it. All these 10w less are slightly different so some will draw 10v whilst others 12v. Hope that helps clear things up for those that don't know.View Instructable »

"We were getting blown out, as usual," Pahukoa said. "But it was great to have Coach (Jim) Lambright there and my brother Jeff. It was still a great time."
After the game, Pahukoa flew back to southern California, where he lives with his wife and kids, and is a warehouse manager for company selling custom furniture. Like all UW alumni, he suffered along with last year's 0-12 debacle of a season. But hope springs eternal—especially with the turn of the calendar and the arrival of a new coaching staff. Pahukoa couldn't wait to get to Seattle for the April 25th spring game and reunion of former Husky football players. Walking into Burbank Airport, he met up with former Husky Brendan Jones, to await their morning flight. With eagerness, they sidled up to the bar and talked Husky football.
"Brendan's a little younger than I am, and he talked me into a Bloody Mary at 8 a.m.," Pahukoa said. "So we guzzled those down, and I knew I was in for a weekend with him. We talked about how excited we were about going up there. He proudly showed his ring from when they went to the (1995) Sun Bowl. I didn't want to embarrass him or anything, but I dumped my four rings onto the bar. He went OHHHHHHH! And I said, `These ain't Sun Bowl rings; these are three Rose Bowls and a National Championship.'
"But we agreed that it's a whole new situation for Husky football," Pahukoa added. "Everything feels different: All new coaches. Not that I didn't like the old coaches, as I had good friendships with Coach (Randy) Hart and Coach (Chris) Tormey. But I was glad that they moved on. Brendan and I couldn't wait to get up there. We wanted to see the new facilities. The last time I was up there, they wouldn't let me in the locker room."
When the flight touched down at SeaTac, Pahukoa's parents were there to greet him. After exchanging hugs, his father only needed to say two words: "Dick's, right?"
"I told him yep," Pahukoa said. "Before heading home to Marysville, we headed straight for Dick's on 45th. When I was in college, that was the place, man. I remember in training camp, we would all pile into my old Mustang and hustle up there and grab as much as we could and get back just before bed check. So it was great to be back. It all looked exactly the same, including the same acne-filled kids behind the counter. And I kid you not, by the time we got to Marysville, I had finished off four Dick's Deluxes, two fries and a shake. My mom was like, what the heck are you doing?"
After the Marysville visit concluded, Pahukoa met up with fellow former safety Tommie Smith. The two headed down to Husky Stadium to take everything in and check out a football practice. "We went to the Graves Building and talked to the guys in the equipment room," Pahukoa said. "And then we walked down the tunnel toward the field. It was the first time I had done that in years: It had the same smell, that of sweat and dirt; it still had all the Rose Bowl plaques on the wall. And when we stepped onto the field, it brought back a lot of memories. Tommie and I kept on laughing; do you remember this? Do you remember that?"
The arrival of Friday night brought with it Pahukoa's favorite part of the trip. A horde of former Huskies congregated at The Duchess Tavern. "There were lots of former players there, including guys that had played 20-30 years before us," he said. "It filled up quick. Every time someone walked in, everybody looked to see who it was. I was really looking forward to seeing guys from my class: Guys like Hillary Butler, Russell Hairston, Walter Bailey, Steve Springstead and Leif Johnson. I was really looking forward to seeing the Hoffmann brothers, Steve Emtman, Coach Lambright and Coach (Dick) Baird. Some guys like Walter Bailey looked exactly the same, while guys like Deke Devers had gained a lot of weight.
"I wish I would have stayed longer at The Dutch, but I left because Lawyer (Milloy) had rented out the VIP room of a local club. It was really nice with an ice sculpture of a Big W, and it was fun. But it was so loud there that we couldn't really talk like we could at The Dutch."
Come the following day, Pahukoa and the others gathered along the sideline at Husky Stadium to watch the spring game. As things progressed, they talked amongst themselves.
"The consensus was that (the current Huskies) are too small, too undersized," he said. "We were all talking about that. Some of the players running by us looked really tiny. One of my biggest concerns heading in was Jake Locker. At practice he overthrew a few passes early on, and I was like, uh-oh. But in the scrimmage, he looked great and confident. I'm optimistic that Jake is going to have a great year.
"I also like the linebackers and the safeties," Pahukoa said. "I like Nate Williams—I just wish he would wrap up a little more. He's trying too hard to take people's heads off. Coach (Jeff) Mills is coaching the secondary, and he was a graduate assistant in my sophomore and junior years at Washington. He pulled me, Lawyer Milloy and Walter Bailey to the side and asked us to speak to the players. I was glad that Lawyer started, because he's still in that frame of mind where he's used to speaking before groups of people about his experiences. Lawyer told them that they needed to help each other and that the older guys needed to take the younger guys under their wings. He told them of how I had taken him under my wing, and showed him how to do things the right way. The players' eyes were focused on us and they seemed so eager to hear what we had to say. I could feel it was important to them, that we were saying things that could help in the future.
"And when it was my turn, I kept it short and sweet," Pahukoa said. "I just told them that the way I played was with reckless abandon; the only thing I focused on was hitting people as hard as I could. If there was a lineman running down the field, and I could hit him, I would hit him—I didn't care. If a receiver was coming across the middle, and the ball was slightly overthrown, he was done—I was laying him out. It had to be legal and not dirty, but you have to let them know who is boss out there and that they ain't coming into your zone. Mental mistakes can be figured out, but if you go 100 percent all the time, they can't fault you for not giving everything you've got."
In the weekend's aftermath, Pahukoa reflected on the future of Husky football. "The kids just need to keep working hard, studying film, owning their part of the field," he said. "And like Lawyer was saying, the older guys need to help the young guys out. I was surprised to hear that I had been such an influence to the younger safeties, like Lawyer. For me personally, I thought Eugene Burkhalter was a great safety, and I always modeled myself after him. So I guess everyone has someone they look up to.
"I'm very excited for the coming season," Pahukoa said. "I'm hopeful that we will get to 4-5 wins. And the day is going to come when we're getting back to a bowl game. I already told my wife that whatever bowl game they're going to, I'm going. I don't care if it's in Hawaii or Boise or wherever. There are going to be so many Husky fans there. It's bound to be a great, great time."

Customer Reviews
1875 Days of Day One
I've been loving the Day One experience since 2012, and the app continues to improve with time. The updates are thoughtful, and I'm currently loving the feature of 'On this day, one year ago', etc. Also adding geo-tagged photos and maps is really great for travel journaling. My only hiccup with the app has been synching between devices, and some issues with Apple ID. I think I've ironed it out with a re-install, but the Apple ID issues will need tech support. Despite these issues, I have not experienced data loss with the seperated out back up process being pretty easily accessible for storage on Dropbox.
Love This App, Hate the Price of the Mac App
I absolutely love Day One. I've been using it for over a year, and I love being reminded of entries 'on this day' in previous years.
I started using the app when my husband bought the app awhile back so I had it on iPhone/iPad via family sharing. He was frustrated when the latest version (Day One 2) came out days later and he had to rebuy it.
The cost of this app on Mac seems kind of high IMO, but I'm glad I paid it. I love updating entries on all devices, though iPad and Mac most of all.
I love Day One
I really did not want to upgrade (not another cloud!) but I am glad I did. The new features are great and I am learning something new every day.

Make no mistake the primary purpose for the typical exercises we do in the gym (whether at home or in a club) is to reinforce good patterns of movement that we need for every day life. Think about it, squatting is simply sitting in a chair, lunging is what we often do to pick things off the floor, pushing and pulling relate to a wide arrange of daily tasks such as lifting objects over our head and opening doors. These movements are also common to sports whether it be golf (rotational movements) or skiing (lateral lunges). In essence everything we do in the gym becomes an expression of what we do outside the gym. If we do things in the gym with proper alignment and form we train our body's to minimizing the loads on our joints and then we are more likely to repeat the same patterns in daily life. Most of the ailments people suffer from, ailments such as low back pain, hip or knee arthritis, tendonitis's , are simply because they performed the movements i discussed above the wrong way over and over again. Think about it, how many times have you squatted in your life, if you are around my age of 48 or older do you think a few hundred times, a few thousand times perhaps, think again. How about a few hundred thousand times to possibly over a million times. Same goes with lunging and these numbers probably only factor into daily life. If you go to the gym and work out with weights or machines add onto that the strain of performing these movements under loads and stresses that accelerate the wear and tear on your joints. That is why the blue print matters. Hey, think about it, have you ever picked up a hobby such as dancing, golf, or even something as simple typing. Imagine if you were taught the wrong steps in the tango, the wrong grip for the golf swing, or the hand position on the key board. Now imagine you rehearsed these skills the wrong way for several years. How much harder would it be then to correct these dysfunctional patterns. Probably be better if you started from scratch all over again because the original blue print is faulted. That is just the way our brains work, always has since the time you were an infant. Remember when you first learned to walk. If you don't simply watch a one year old going through the process. Every step is conscious effort, the step length, the width, the arm position, thousands and thousands of step analyzed by our main computer frame work the brain. Then over time the process of walking no longer becomes a conscious effort but rather automatic. I would hope that none of us really has to think about walking any more and that it is an ingrained soft ware pattern in our brain.
So where am I going with all of this. Squatting, lunging, rotating, pushing, pulling, etc. should be ingrained software patterns in our brains. The problem is that for many people the software is flawed because for years (decades) we have been doing it the wrong way. Not only that but those who exercise reinforce these poor patterns under loads and stresses. No wonder their body's eventually break down. It's time to learn how to walk all over again, to move away from task completion mentality to one of conscious effort of how we move. It should not simply be about simply going to the gym to lose weight or to lift weights to make our muscles bigger and stronger. On the contrary it should be all about performing purposeful movements that transfer over into everything we do in life. Of course we can still get fit along the way and develop muscle mass in a proportionate manner. However these are the byproducts of performing movements with correct alignment and form especially when under the loads of weights.
In some of my upcoming blogs I will explain the intangibles on how to do this and where to begin. It takes a little bit of work and some open mindedness but the benefits far outweigh the ease of repeating the same old stagnant program that will only break your body down. If you want to jump ahead and get started with a little bit of study feel free to check out our two DVDs, Thinner This Year Preparation for Movement and the Sacred 25 and Beyond.
I think you will the find the information precious to your longevity,
Stay tuned,
Bill Fabrocini PT, CSCS

Dumbass Reporter Of The Day (video)
The very end of this clip says it all.

I would have told the reporter to get the cord away from the tower immediately, but the guy who built it is probably a nice guy. After the fact, I would have strangled the reporter with his mic cord, especially after that "hey - whatta ya gonna do" gesture at the end.ReplyDelete
Oh no! Poor kid.ReplyDelete

i think it was set up. sorry.ReplyDelete
Um...I haven't played Jenga in a long time, but I think the reporter lost.ReplyDelete
You could be right, MommaT. Nothing to be sorry about.ReplyDelete
I agree with MommaT.ReplyDelete
You could almost see his dreams being crushed...ReplyDelete
yeah, I almost never call fake, but I gotta call fake on this one. It looked totally planned.ReplyDelete
ok - I'm 30 sec in and I don't think I can watch the rest!!ReplyDelete
When was this? 1980? I haven't seen a mic with a cord on it since my oldest kid's Fisher Price tape recorder died. In 1991.ReplyDelete
If it isn't fake, that poor kid needs some cookies or a hooker or something. Bless his heart.

It was a set-up according to the creator's web page:ReplyDelete
"It was demolished by stringing a wire through the bottom of it which was hidden out of view of the camera that was filming the event. When 'interviewer' Mike Roy stepped around it with his microphone cord the wire was pulled to make it collapse."
I'm relieved to know that was fake...if it was real I'm pretty sure reporter-dude would have been nursing a broken nose. Or worse. :DReplyDelete
I don't care if it's fake, it was funny.

Want to prepare for your next job interview?
Start thinking about how you'd fare in a zombie apocalypse.
Sometimes, interviewers just want to get a sense of how well you're able to think outside the box.
That's why it's not too surprising that some of the most successful executives out there like to ask some pretty weird questions during job interviews.
Here are some of those oddball questions.
'On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?'
One of Zappos' core values is to "create fun and a little weirdness," Tony Hsieh, CEO of the company, tells Business Insider.
To make sure he hires candidates with the right fit, Hsieh typically asks the question: "On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?" He says the number isn't too important, but it's more about how people answer the question. Nonetheless, if "you're a one, you probably are a little bit too straight-laced for the Zappos culture," he says. "If you're a 10, you might be too psychotic for us."
Another question Zappos usually asks candidates is: "On a scale of one to 10, how lucky are you in life?" Again, the number doesn't matter too much, but if you're a one, you don't know why bad things happen to you (and probably blame others a lot). And if you're a 10, you don't understand why good things always seem to happen to you (and probably lack confidence).
'What was the last costume you wore?'
It doesn't matter so much what they wore, but why they wore it. If the candidate's reasoning matches Warby Parker's core value of injecting "fun and quirkiness into work, life, and everything they do," they might have a real shot at getting a job there.
"We find that people who are able to make the job environment fun build followership more easily," the company's cofounder and co-CEO David Gilboa tells Iris Mansour at Quartz. "If we hire the most technically skilled person in the world whose work style doesn't fit here, they won't be successful."
'If you were an animal, which animal would you be?'
"The animal kingdom is broad, and everyone can identify with a specific animal they think embodies their own personalities and characteristics," Stormy Simon, president of Overstock, tells Business Insider.
"There are so many different human traits, where in the animal kingdom they put themselves, and why, really gives insight to the person answering the question. For example, just because you love dogs doesn't mean you would identify yourself as a dog," she explains.
Good answers, she says, are where the candidate picks an animal that they think truly personifies the traits that set them apart. "People have often chosen the same animal as other candidates, but the traits they describe have never been the same," says Simon. But they're not all good answers.
"One time an interviewee said they identified with a red panda because everyone thinks they are so cute and approachable, but it turns out they're just really lazy. We hired the candidate anyway despite that answer, but we parted ways within three weeks. It just goes to show how important the question is."
HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes also likes to ask candidates, "What's your spirit animal?"
As he tells writer Jeff Haden, "During her interview, I asked my current executive assistant what was her favorite animal. She told me it was a duck, because ducks are calm on the surface and hustling like crazy getting things done under the surface," he says.
"I think this was an amazing response and a perfect description for the role of an EA. For the record, she's been working with us for over a year now and is amazing at her job," Holmes tells Haden.
'What do you want to be when you grow up?'
Stewart Butterfield, the cofounder of Flickr and chief executive of Slack, likes to ask job candidates this question we've been answering for our teachers and parents since we were kids.
"Good answers are usually about areas in which they want to grow, things they want to learn, things that they feel like they haven't had a chance to accomplish yet but want to accomplish," he tells Adam Bryant of The New York Times. "A very short answer to that question would be automatically bad."
'What would you do in the event of a zombie apocalypse?'
This seems like a ridiculous question to ask, but it's posed to every prospective employee at Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, a national restaurant franchise. Ashley Morris, the company's CEO, says it's the best way to learn how candidates react under pressure.
"There really is no right answer, so it's interesting to get someone's opinion and understand how they think on their feet," Morris explains. "The hope is that for us, we're going to find out who this person is on the inside and what's really important to him, what his morals really are, and if he'll fit on the cultural level."

N.J. Fracking Opponents Take Second Shot at Ban Christie Vetoed
New Jersey Democrats will try for a second time to prohibit fracking for natural gas in the most densely populated U.S. state, after Governor Chris Christie vetoed a ban in August and lodged a one-year moratorium.
While New Jersey produces no natural gas, the Utica Shale formation, a largely unexplored deposit running from Ontario, Canada, to Tennessee, runs under Warren and Sussex counties in the state's northwest. A ban would head off future fracking in an area that provides almost half of New Jersey with drinking water, said Senator Robert Gordon, who sponsors it.
"Support has been growing for this, and as that support for a full ban builds, I'm hopeful we can get enough votes to override any veto," Gordon, a Democrat from Fair Lawn, said in a telephone interview today. "The message that I want to give the governor is that I want him to put the brakes on this."
Gordon's measure is scheduled for a Feb. 9 hearing before the Senate Environment and Energy Committee. The lawmaker said he's optimistic the bill will be approved a second time by the Legislature, and he hopes to pick up a few votes.
Democrats control the Assembly, 48-32, and the Senate, 24-16, and would need a two-thirds majority, or 54 members in the Assembly and 27 in the Senate, to override Christie vetoes.
Drinking Water
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process by which companies inject water, sand and chemicals under high pressure thousands of feet underground to break up shale-rock formations and release trapped natural gas. Advances in the technology have pushed gas from shale to almost 30 percent of U.S. production in the past 15 years, according to data from the U.S. Energy Department.
Environmental groups say fracking contaminates drinking water and pollutes the air. The Environmental Protection Agency is studying the issue and weighing nationwide regulations. France and Bulgaria have banned the practice, while Ohio is considering tougher drilling rules in response to unprecedented earthquakes in fracking areas.
New Jersey was set to have the first statewide ban on fracking in the U.S., after Gordon's measure passed both houses of the Legislature in June. Christie, a first-term Republican, issued a "conditional veto" of the bill in August, saying he wanted to wait for the results of two federal studies before agreeing to a permanent prohibition.
In his veto message, Christie said the "potential environmental concerns with fracking in our state must be studied and weighed carefully against the potential benefits of increasing access to natural gas in New Jersey." His moratorium, which lawmakers agreed to last month, expires in January 2013.
Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for Christie, declined to comment on the pending legislation.
"The dangers of fracking to the environment and our water supply were well-known a year ago when this legislation passed with overwhelming bipartisan support," Derek Roseman, a spokesman for Senate President Stephen Sweeney, said in an e- mail. "Since they have only become even more well-known, the bill should still have that support now."

There's a lot of incorrect information being spread among gun owners on this website. Let's try to clear some things up.
Every state has its own laws regarding open carry. Please find your state here: OpenCarry.org - A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost! and click on it to get a detailed view.
Many people think that if you get a concealed carry permit, you are waiving your right to Open Carry. This is generally not so. You are merely gaining a privilege to conceal.
I get sick of seeing the inaccuracies being spread around as truth. Please, do the research yourself. Don't take advice from anyone, especially people you only know online (including me!). The laws are on the books. You have legislators that can be asked. One caveat: The police are generally as misinformed as most gun owners!
I'm not going to argue with you the benefits or risks taken when you choose to carry openly versus concealed. That's best left for another day. What I will say is this: Regardless of how you carry, the important thing is that you're armed!
Carry on!

Legal in 44 states, frowned upon in most of those, and illegal in Texas...what a topsy-turvey world.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

Thanks for posting the link.
Obviously opinions against open carry are prevalent here. I admit that I am against open carry in most situations. That said, it's important to know when you can open carry (which is, as you point out, more often than most believe).
I like living in an open carry state. When my gun get's exposed due to activity, the wind, etc. I don't have to worry about suddenly becoming a violator.

Unfortunately I live in one of those states where open carry is a NO NO..
So really 11 states are open carry, meaning that you can pretty much carry anywhere without getting the police called on you.
14 states are licensed open carry states, meaning there are restrictions for folks without licenses.
17 states allow some open carry, but you have a good chance of getting your butt in a crack if you do it where many other people are around.
2 states you can open carry in a rural setting, since they are CA, and IL it means you might get by with it on your own land, and put in jail for pretty much any place else.
6 states and DC don't allow for any open carry.
I still don't see the point or the advantage. Nor do I see much change in any of these standings in the near future. I am prefectly happy with my concealed carry.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

While open carry may be legal in your state, I would still check with the state Attorney General's office just in case there is some conflict with local ordinances.
I, too am perfectly happy with concealed carry.
God bless our troops!
And "restrictions" for those without licenses in those states are total prohibitions.
You can be perfectly happy with paying for a privilege, but there are many who cannot (due to age or other reasons), and this is the right that's remaining.There are no qualifications listed in this amendment. No taxes allowed. No permits necessary. This is it....the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
So if you see something in the forum that that you feel is inaccurate or untrue, use the "Report This Post" feature. The moderators will deal with it.
Don't post in the open forum accusing us of spreading lies.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Apologies. Should have said inaccuracies. Will edit post for abrasive language.
