Serpentine Studio is a beautiful and quiet two room studio apartment located in the historic Woolen Mills neighborhood. It is part of our 1830's brick home and is located only one mile from downtown Charlottesville and two miles from the University of Virginia (both can easily accessed by the nearby city bus line).
As a part of our property we offer a private dock with a hammock and deck chair overlooking the Rivanna River, a perfect spot to relax and watch the wildlife. The river setting offers a unique, peaceful environment where one is able to step back from the business of life, while simultaneously remaining close to the center of town. Our house is located near the Rivanna River Trail which winds along the river for 12 miles and offers wonderful opportunities for biking, hiking, birdwatching, and the possibilities of canoeing and fishing.
The studio apartment has its own entrance, and is beautifully renovated with heart pine floors and exposed brick walls. There is an adjacent breakfast room overlooking the river with a water cooker, coffee maker and small refrigerator. We provide tea, coffee, and a basic breakfast for your convenience. Both rooms are decorated with original artwork. The owner's nearby sculpture studio offers an artistic setting with sculptures in progress as well as original artwork placed throughout the house and extensive backyard. The bathroom has a shower and an antique clawfoot bath tub.
Please note this apartment is accessed by stairs, therefor it is not recommended to guests with mobility problems.

I am Swedish and my husband is from Los Angeles. We have lived in Charlottesville for the past 25 years and love it. I work as a sculptor and an art instructor but have always dreamt of running a bed and breakfast. Now that our daughter has moved out, the lower part of the house is empty and I am excited to share our great house and yard with our guests.
We still travel extensively but when we are at home we are looking forward to meet our guests.
Nini Baeckstrom purchased this house in 1995
Our property is close to downtown and the University but is still situated in a country setting. Our back yard opens up to the Rivanna River where we have a dock and there are miles of walking trails along the river. It is a quiet romantic setting as you sit in a dock chair at dusk sometimes spotting the Bald Eagles that live down the river.
The character and ambiance of this house is priceless. It was built in the 1830's and we have brought out the beauty of the original building materials, exposed brick walls and beautiful heart pine floors. As and an artist there is a lot of art in my life and you will find and abundance of original art in the rental property and around the yard.
Peaceful place - close to downtown, restaurants, Riverside Park, and Monticello. The private dock above the Rivanna River is awesome! The bathroom is a bit awkward, but the roomy and clean apartment compensates for it.
This property was very nice. Quiet neighborhood. It has a dock by the river in the backyard. Kind of steep steps getting to and from the front door, but overall a great place!
We really liked it here. It is much bigger than I expected! Plenty of room to roam around in. And we took advantage of sitting by the river--a very pretty and peaceful spot! Thank you!
What a great place to enjoy a break in the countryside, but yet you're less than a mile from the centre of Charlottesville. The studio is exactly as advertised, and was clean and had lots of extras provided such as toiletries and some groceries. The thing we enjoyed best of all though was sitting on the deck at the bottom of the garden watching the wildlife on the river. It was so peaceful there.
The studio is an attractive space furnished with everything one might need to be comfortable. Our hosts were very considerate and helpful.
Although the studio was well maintained, it's access was difficult to get to. On street parking, but steep stairs to get to studio. The bathroom was rather hard to maneuver in. For these reason I would not recommend this studio for the up-in-age bracket of people.
Monticello is very close to our home a must-see any time of the year.
Step outside the door and there are miles and miles of walking trails, many along the Rivanna River.
Within 2 miles there are at least 25 restaurants, many of them great.
Visit the University of Virginia, designed by Thomas Jefferson, it has a beautiful campus

Winshield cooker?
Whats anyones thoughts on the windshield sun shades? Ive got one in my truck, and when I use it, The suction cup for my nav unit always falls off the windshield due to the high heat between the windshield and the shade. So in my cadillac, with all the electronics on the windshield behind the review mirror, the heat must be extreme using the sun shield. Long term effect on cooking the electronics? I'd guess it must be atleast 200 degrees on a 100+ day.

Re: Winshield cooker?
i have never thought about that buy you could cut a area out around the rear view so that heat can escape just! iv never really used/seen one in person doesent get that hot here in ontario
Re: Winshield cooker?
Thats a good idea. Im sure that would reduce the heat on the components alot. In Bakersfield during the summer it will range 100-110. A trip to Vegas or lauglin nevada can take it up to 120. Once when I had my 96 SLS, I actually burnt my fingers opening the door. Nice black car. about 117 outside.

Grand Tour
Generally speaking, we frown on guided hikes. The Sonoran Desert is not the Louvre, and true hikers hardly need to have someone spell out its (fairly obvious) magnificence. The extraordinary exception is the Elephant Mountain Fortress Hike at Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area. The relatively difficult seven-miler takes participants into the park's achingly beautiful backcountry for some sublime views and solid interpretation by Ranger Kevin Smith. Ranger K will fill you in on the newest, and most unusual, entry in the Maricopa County Regional Park system, which is set in a high-desert riparian area dotted with numerous archaeological sites.

North American Newspaper Alliance
The North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA) was a large newspaper syndicate that flourished between 1922 and 1980.
Founded by John Neville Wheeler, NANA employed some of the most noted writing talents of its time, including Grantland Rice, Joseph Alsop, Michael Stern, Lothrop Stoddard, Dorothy Thompson, George Schuyler, Pauline Frederick, Sheilah Graham Westbrook, Edna Ferber, F. Scott Fitzgerald. and Ernest Hemingway (who famously covered the Spanish Civil War for NANA).
Wheeler era[edit]
Wheeler established the North American Newspaper Alliance in 1922 as a union of 50 major newspapers in the United States and Canada. It absorbed the Bell Syndicate, a similar organization he had founded around 1916, although both continued to operate individually under joint ownership. NANA continued to acquire other syndicates over time. Wheeler became general manager in 1930. One of its most famous correspondents was Ernest Hemingway, who was sent to Spain in 1937 to report on the Spanish Civil War,[1] He based one of his best-known novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls on his experiences there.
Among its other notable stories was the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, which in 1947 and 1948 researched the area surrounding the head of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. Edith Ronne, wife of the expedition leader, was a correspondent for the syndicate, posting dispatches from Antarctica for the duration of the expedition. She named a landform there, Cape Wheeler, in honour of her editor.
In the 1930s and 1940s, NANA was known for its selections for the College Football All-America Team, using four well-known coaches each year.
In 1943, Ira Wolfert won an international Pulitzer Prize for Telegraphic Reporting for his field reports for NANA during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons.
Cuneo era[edit]
By the early 1950s the syndicate was being overshadowed by more powerful news syndicates, and it was purchased by a small group of investors led by Ernest Cuneo, formerly associated with British Security Coordination and the OSS, and Ivar Bryce. They gave the job of European Vice President to the writer and their mutual friend Ian Fleming.[2] Cuneo acquired full control over NANA in the mid-1950s and served as president until 1963 when he sold it. However, he remained with NANA as a columnist and military analyst from 1963 to 1980.[3]
Because of Cuneo's association with former members of American and British intelligence, including Fleming and Bryce, and because some writers in the Cuneo era had alleged links to the CIA, critics have suggested that NANA under his tenure was a front for espionage.[4]
A notable event late in the syndicate's history occurred when a freelance correspondent, Lucianne Goldberg joined the press corps covering candidate George McGovern during the 1972 presidential campaign, claiming to be a reporter for the Women's News Service, an affiliate of NANA. In reality, she was being paid $1000 a week by Richard Nixon operative Murray Chotiner for regular reports about happenings on the campaign trail. She said "They were looking for really dirty stuff...Who was sleeping with who, what the Secret Service men were doing with the stewardesses, who was smoking pot on the plane — that sort of thing."[5][6]
The news service discontinued operations in 1980.

Last meeting: Round 5 2011 - Force 27 bt Lions 15 at Ellis Park
Head-to-head: Played 6 Force 4 Lions 1 drawn 1
In Perth: Played 2 Force 1 Lions 1
Referee: Garratt Williamson (NZL)
TV: Live, FoxSports 3
TAB Sportsbet: Force $1.40 Lions $2.80
Greg Growden writes: This game will really bring the crowds back. The Force have lost their way and the Lions don't know how to win. Might as well call the game off, give each team two points and all head to Rottnest Island for some quokka watching.
AAP writes: When John Mitchell left the Force two years ago, the franchise was struggling badly on the field. Fast-forward to the current day and little has changed, with the Force netting just two wins from 12 games this season to sit third from the bottom. The last-placed Lions, under the tutelage of Mitchell, are faring even worse with just one win from 11 games, meaning this clash could well decide the wooden spoon. The Force were left heartbroken by last week's one-point loss to the Rebels, and are desperate to make amends this week in front of their long-suffering fans.

As far as this blog writer knows, the Earth is still rotating around the sun, there are clouds in the sky, and humans continue to breathe the air in peace. But, for some who hate Muslims and deplore the idea that Muslim women can freely choose to wear a headscarf, this undoubtedly is a sad day. Mahinu Ozdemir, a 28 year old Muslim woman was freely elected to a local Belgian parliament and will wear the headscarf while doing her job as an elected official. She was one of six Belgians of Turkish heritage to win seats in local parliaments. Opponents claim that pictures of the attractive Ms. Ozdemir did not portray her wearing a headscarf and the entire electoral process was an attempt to dupe the Belgian public.
The issue as to whether Ms. Ozdemir displayed or hid her headscarf is rather irrelevant since anyone knew she was a woman of Muslim background and what she wears on top of her head is really of no concern. Would opponents be upset if a man who wore a beard shaved it off during an election campaign? Why are rules different for women than for men?

RBS Was Pretty Relaxed About Selling Bad Mortgages
While the Justice Department is putting its finishing touches on the slow-moving 13 billion-ish JPMorgan mortgage settlement, the SEC lobbed in a little $150 million mortgage settlement with RBS Securities Inc. just to keep everyone entertained while we wait for the JPMorgan one. 1 The stylized facts from the complaint are that in 2007, RBS (then Greenwich Capital Markets) bought and securitized 11,000 subprime loans from Option One (then part of H&R Block), picked a sample of 1,000 loans to do due diligence on, and found that 300 of those loans didn't meet the advertised underwriting standards. So very sensibly it kicked those loans out of the securitization and sent them back to Option One in disgrace. Good job!
Unfortunately for RBS, a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland, the SEC thinks, with the benefit of hindsight and/or a basic understanding of statistics, that RBS should have thought something along the lines of "well, if 30 percent of those 1,000 sample loans were bad, then it stands to reason that 30 percent of the other 10,000 loans would be bad, maybe we should check." They did not check. The securitization went ahead, they sold the loans to investors, lots of the loans were bad, you know the rest, $150 million settlement.
This is just one more boring bad-mortgage-securitization data point but each of them adds, if not exactly an understanding, at least a little texture about what happened. So part of the diligence involved reviewing an "adverse sample" of loans with red flags, low credit scores, high loan-to-value ratios, whatever. RBS decided on this sample that being a first-time home buyer would not be such a red flag, even though it knew that a lot of loans to first-time buyers were problematic. Then this happened:
After viewing the proposed adverse sample, the Diligence Lead sent an e-mail to his RBS colleague who declined to select first time home buyers as an adverse criteria, asking: "You like it when I'm fired up, do you? [Be]cause I'm p!ssed right now." Evidently frustrated that first-time home buyers ("FTHBs") were not included as an adverse criteria in the sample, the Diligence Lead further wrote: "I'm kicking out FTHBs like they had smallpox over here and we're spending 60% of a limited diligence on 8 month old loans, which will require probably 5 or 6 sets of guidelines just to underwrite . . . Who (sic) got Jameson's?"
Look, I'm not saying I understand what the guy was talking about; the point is he was p!ssed. And he was p!ssed because he really wanted to do some awesome diligence. He was fired up for some diligence. He was gonna kick out those deadbeat first-time buyers like they had smallpox. He was probably walking around high-fiving people every time he found a badly underwritten loan. Possibly he kicked out loans by physically kicking the file folders out of his cubicle.
He might not have been fun to work with, is what I'm saying. But he's definitely the guy you'd want doing diligence, if you were a mortgage-backed security investor. He cared about getting it right, and he got angry when anyone stood in the way of getting it right.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, just before the final meeting to discuss diligence and go ahead with the deal, this happened:
The Lead Banker, the Head of Credit, an RBS attorney, and others received the diligence results. On Friday, April 27, before the meeting occurred, the Lead Banker stated in an e-mail to other RBS employees involved in the Subprime Offering that one diligence summary "doesn't help." However, RBS was out of time to conduct more diligence before the April 30th deadline to complete the purchase of the Option One loans.
On information and belief, the Lead Banker, along with Credit and Legal staff at RBS, justified proceeding with the Subprime Offering without more due diligence or disclosure about conformity to underwriting guidelines in part because Option One was taking the "residual" on the deal - meaning, an investment in the lowest tranche of the Subprime Offering - and because the deal had some protection for RBS investors in the case that certain of the loans defaulted within the first 45 days after the deal closed.
Did that reasoning make sense? In hindsight, no, of course not. At the time, I mean, substantively I don't know if you could reasonably have thought "well there's an equity cushion, and house prices only ever go up, so it's probably fine that these loans are all fraudulent." Obviously some people did think that. But the point is: If you think that, why do the diligence at all? Why write a prospectus saying that the loans were underwritten in accordance with underwriting standards? Why not just say "meh, here are some scraps of paper, but house prices only go up, good luck"?
That intense sweaty guy in the basement of the diligence building, or whatever, pounding his Jamesons and kicking his folders -- that guy's terribly damning report filtered up to the banker in charge of approving the deal. And that banker held that report at arm's length with two fingers and said "well, this doesn't help." Then he just ignored it completely. Thank you for your help, Diligence Lead, now go away. Back to the basement with you. Let us never speak of Diligence Lead again.
I don't know what to tell you. As I said about JPMorgan, it is very hard to weigh the culpabilities of all the banks with their mortgage lawsuits: Everyone did some flavor of this. This is egregious but I don't know that it's more egregious than anyone else's. Everywhere the commercial side -- the guys who got fees for buying and packaging and reselling loans -- was in charge. Everywhere the credit and diligence side -- the guys in charge of making sure that those loans were what the bank said they were -- sat in basements and complained. Everywhere the commercial side ignored them.
It's an obvious and hard-to-solve cultural problem: The commercial side makes the money and gets to yes, the diligence side makes the problems and gets to no.
This RBS settlement is a particularly stark illustration of how it works, but it's far from the only one. In 2007 or, I suspect, in 2013.
This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg View's editorial board or Bloomberg LP, its owners and investors.
Oh, if you find this stuff entertaining, apparently Brian Moynihan said yesterday that JPMorgan is not a role model for settling mortgage litigation and that "no one is more educated about these cases unfortunately" than Bank of America, which makes me love Brian Moynihan even more than I already did, which was a lot.
You know where the lawyers get to, right?

U.S. Presbyterian Church OKs clergy performing gay weddings
By Jonathan Kaminsky
(Reuters) - A gathering of U.S. Presbyterian Church elders and ministers voted on Thursday to allow their clergy to perform same-sex weddings, in a major reversal for one of the largest mainline Protestant denominations, a church official said.
The move came during a meeting in Detroit, two years after the Church's highest judicial body upheld an ecclesiastical rebuke against a lesbian Presbyterian minister for officiating at same-sex weddings in California.
A number of Christian denominations have grappled in recent years with how to address the wishes of gay and lesbian couples to marry, which is now legal in 19 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
The Presbyterian Church in 2011 removed its prohibitions on openly gay clergy and has a long tradition of baptizing children of same-sex couples.
The vote by a group of Church elders and ministers to allow clergy to solemnize gay weddings was 371 in favor and 238 opposed, said Gradye Parsons, clerk of the Church's General Assembly.
The new rules, which take effect on Saturday, give clergy the choice of whether to preside over same-sex marriages in states where gay nuptials are legally recognized, while providing local church councils discretion over whether to host such ceremonies, Parsons said.
The Church previously only permitted its ministers to bless unions between two men or two women, so long as pastors did not state or imply the couple were actually being married.
The same body in Detroit also voted to change the language of the Church's Book of Order to state: "Marriage involves a unique commitment between two people, traditionally between a man and a woman." The original passage says: "Marriage is a civil contract between a man and a woman." Continued...

Two weeks ago it was clear that Muammar Gaddafi was going to use its money to purchase an army and then set out to kill every Libyan who dared oppose his power. At this point, establishing a no-fly zone would have been rather easy and effective. Barack Obama dithered and dathered about such a step. As usual, he allowed events to take command of his policy. During the health care debate he remained silent which allowed Fox News and other right wing Republicans to dominate discussion and establish the narrative which included nutty ideas about death panels. He is a leader who allows others to lead rather than the person who establishes parameters of the debate.
Finally, he agrees to a UN approved attack on Libya. So, where does the president go as American airmen are risking their lives–on a trip to Brazil!! He apparently lacks enough common sense that the president should be in Washington D.C. when fighting takes place. Some might claim my words are petty. Barack Obama is president of the United States and has just ordered men into action. One must remain in the Oval Office because a commander-in-chief is with the men in action.
Oh well, let's

1960s Coral Danelectro Firefly. These were produced from '67 to '69 we believe. Seller states it's 100% original with just a bit of finish checking. Seller notes the neck is wide, thin, straight and very fast. Seller adds it's a "No Issues" guitar. Good pictures here for Craigslist. Nice flame on the back of this one. Seller doesn't mention anything about a case. Cool.

Global stocks, euro steady as markets await Fed, ECB
Global share prices and the euro held steady on Wednesday as investors waited to see if central banks in the United States and Europe would take fresh actions to ease the euro-zone debt crisis and rejuvenate the global economy.
U.S. stocks pared early gains after unusual trading that roiled seemingly unrelated shares on the New York Stock Exchange raised concerns.
The Federal Reserve, which concludes its two-day policy meeting later in the day, is likely to show it is ready to act to support a weakening U.S. economy but stop short of aggressive measures for now.
The Fed's policy decision will come a day before a key meeting of the European Central Bank. ECB President Mario Draghi heightened speculation of further bank purchases of Italian and Spanish bonds when he said last week that he would do "whatever it takes to preserve the euro."
The risk of disappointment, however, is high. Spanish bond yields could jump again and stocks and the euro could sell off if the ECB does not deliver. Uncertainty ahead of the ECB meeting drove investors to safe-haven German bonds, allowing Berlin to sell five-year debt at a record low cost.
"Everybody is waiting on central bank policy. Right now the equity markets are being held together by easy money, and if we don't get more of it soon we are likely to be disappointed," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago.
"We are going to need a monetary booster shot both from Europe and the U.S. to keep this party going."
The MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS rose 0.1 percent to 316.40 points. European shares .FTEU3 gained 0.5 percent to 1,068.05.
But on Wall Street, traders appeared more concerned with unusually volatile trading in a number of shares listed on the NYSE, which resulted in the halt of several stocks that appear to be unrelated.
"I think that has disrupted all the normal activities. Stocks are moving all over the place, they are weird, they are trading like millions of shares, 100 shares at a time, so something went haywire somewhere," said Stephen Massocca, managing director at Wedbush Morgan in San Francisco.
The trading sparked unusual activity in stocks such as Molycorp (MCP.N), which traded more than 5.7 million shares in the first 45 minutes of trading. The stock usually averages about 2.65 million shares daily, and it was one of the stocks halted due to excessive volatility.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was up 43.29 points, or 0.33 percent, at 13,051.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was up 4.23 points, or 0.31 percent, at 1,383.55. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was up 4.26 points, or 0.14 percent, at 2,943.78.
Investors shrugged off economic data on the U.S. labor market and manufacturing activity worldwide.
The U.S. private sector added 163,000 new jobs in July, topping economists' expectations of 120,000 new jobs. The report from payrolls processor ADP came two days ahead of Friday's more important government monthly, non-farm payrolls report.
Also on Wednesday, surveys showed U.S. and euro zone factory activity struggled again in July while Chinese manufacturing fell to an eight-month low, as economies around the world showed signs of slowing.
"The manufacturing numbers are pretty dismal. There's really no good way to read them," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange in Washington. "I think they bolster the case for more Federal Reserve action, and globally, the argument is pretty much the same."
The malaise was worst in the 17-country euro zone, where output plummeted and the manufacturing sector contracted for an 11th straight month in July as a downturn that began in smaller countries continued to spread into core economies.
The euro slipped 0.1 percent to $1.2297.
Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said in an interview published on the bank's website that governments overestimated the central bank's capacities and placed too many demands on it. He did not spell out whether he was referring to the Bundesbank or the ECB, though he was talking about the euro zone.
"On the ECB, the uncertainty is very high," said Jens Nordvig, global head of FX strategy at Nomura Securities in New York. "Some additional commitment to support sovereign bond markets is highly likely, but how firm and how conditional this commitment will be is far from clear."
In government debt trading, the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 11/32 in price, with the yield at 1.5052 percent.
Brent and U.S. crude futures rose after a report from the Energy Information Administration showed U.S. crude stocks fell 6.52 million barrels last week, much more than expected, as imports plunged.
Brent September crude was up $1.16 at $106.08 a barrel. U.S. September crude was up 82 cents at $88.88 a barrel.
Spot gold was down 1 percent at $1,597.04 an ounce.

Chief Executive magazine ranks New York as the next-to-worst state for business in the opinion of CEOs questioned.
The ninth annual survey of CEO's blamed New York's high taxes, bureaucracy and a regulatory system that is difficult to navigate. The CEOs ranked New York just better than California. Most larger states with strong labor unions faired poorly in the rankings. CEOs liked Texas most for the ninth straight year, followed by Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana.
A spokesperson for Governor Cuomo says the state is now at its highest work force size ever.

I was a guest lecturer in CT's graduate seminar this morning.
The University puts on a Summer Literacy Institute every year, and CT has been an instructor in that program for nearly 20 years. This year, she drew a "Responding to Literature" course, and she asked me, way back in March, if I could come in to offer my presentation on reading film in high school English classes.
I was really excited to do this. I have had some really great conversations in graduate seminars, and was hoping that this class would be talkative and engaged. While I'm not saying that they WEREN'T, they weren't as excited about this subject as I'd hoped. Of course, tomorrow is the last day of the class, most of these folks have been participating in the Institute for four weeks, and it's excruciatingly hot in these parts, so it could well be that, under different conditions, the conversations would have been more animated. As it was, they didn't seem eager to challenge their thinking, but they did seem to enjoy the presentation.
I showed them scenes from Schindler's List, Nuremberg, Ever After, and Glory. We talked (okay, *I* mostly talked) about navigating the silences where we KNOW something important is happening, about motivation, and about how to write through important moments. I told Punkin' Pie's "bring out your dead" story and reminded the class that the whole reason we're in this business is to give our students experiences that help them relate to their world. We talked about what kind of films we can show when trying to teach concepts like hubris, patriotism, irony and humor.
It was great to be in front of a classroom again.

Requests for corrections don't always come from readers, in fact it's not at all unusual for Guardian journalists to turn themselves in. Recently a writer raised his hand to a mistake in two stories after a user posted a comment on a Guardian blog pointing out an error in his reporting of the opinion poll on which they were based.
The stories, published in December, said that 29% of science teachers believe creationism should be taught in science lessons alongside evolution and the big bang theory, and attributed this finding to an Ipsos/Mori poll of 923 primary and secondary teachers in England and Wales.
It's easy to see why the poll was reported in this way. The 29% statistic appeared in the opening paragraph of Ipsos/Mori's statement about the research. It said: "Science specialists in the sample are significantly less likely than average to agree [creationism] should be taught, although nearly three in 10 (29%) do say this."
The journalist contacted Ipsos/Mori who said his mistake was to suggest that the sample was representative of all science teachers. In fact it was only representative of the general population of teachers, and was weighted by sex, age and teaching phase to match the known profile of primary and secondary school teachers in England and Wales.
The journalist had missed a footnote which said: "Survey respondents are not representative of all primary and secondary school teachers in England and Wales by subject specialism." It cautioned against statements such as "65% of all science teachers disagree that creationism should be taught".
Opinion polls are everyday news fodder - they provide stand-alone stories and are included in other news reports, or in comment pieces to bolster opinion. Newspapers often commission their own polls. The Guardian, for example, has a long-standing relationship with polling company ICM and in the last few months has published Guardian/ICM polls on consumer confidence; class and social mobility; and support for party leaders.
Last week alone more than 20 Guardian articles mentioned public opinion polls, including a front-page story, which reported that an international survey found British people to be less confident about their country's economic situation than people in 16 other countries.
Julian Glover, who wrote that story, is also responsible for commissioning Guardian polls and is practised at evaluating this sort of data. He told me that he tries hard not to just go for the sexiest figure and to write with more subtlety. "I put in qualifications," he said.
His report about last week's international poll included the methodology as part of the story: "The research draws upon a mix of face-to-face polling and online polling, and the variation in results may be affected by this, as well as by different sample sizes," it said. Readers were told, in a footnote, about the British sample size (1,050) and when the surveys were done.
The British Polling Council's website publishes a journalist's guide to opinion polls, which covers issues such as sample size and methods of ensuring that samples are representative. The BPC checklist encourages journalists to ask who conducted the poll, who paid for it and why it was done.
The BPC guide also explains that there are two main elements of scientific surveys: the respondents are chosen by the research company (they should not be self-selecting), and enough information needs to be collected about them to enable weighting of the sample if the data doesn't match the profile of the group surveyed.
Opinion polls are always to be approached with caution. In his book How to Lie with Statistics, Darrell Huff gives this advice: "The operation of a poll comes down in the end to a running battle against sources of bias, and this battle is conducted all the time by all the reputable polling organisations. What the reader of the reports must remember is that the battle is never won. No conclusion that "67% of the British people are against something or other should be read without the lingering question: 67% of which British people?"

This is not meant to be a snide remark but, if you dislike knives why not look for a blunt weapon. I personally carry one on my key chain. It works well, is fast and is legal were I am. The biggest issue I see is the fact that you do not like having something in your pocket. So perhaps some type of force multiplier that clips onto your pocket.
Important considerations for a fighting folder:
1) length of blade. Reach matters
2) security of locking mechanism
Why not get a Leatherman Tool?
I carry a Skeletool regular one and it has a smaller blade and is easy to get to, back pocket next to wallet (Sneaky sneaky) hell I goto campuses (work for a district) and no one worries much about it. I use it to build and disassemble stuff but its good to know you have that blade as a "Reserve" I guess, usually carry that and whatever knife I feel like carrying that month or while (Right now its that lockback)
When life gives you lemons, Open a lemonaid buisness.
I'm with Retsupt99, the Kershaw Assisted Opener is the way to go.
At the shot show a Kershaw saleswoman told me they are discontinuing the assisted openers. Sad, they are great for warehouse work and on the streets.
But if you hate knives it is not likely that you will invest the time and effort into using one well. Have you considered a cane? They are a much under rated weapon that you can carry anywhere. Are never questioned and make a brutal self defense weapon. Much easier to learn to use effectively.
There are some good recommendations at I need a knife recommendation please
I have carried a Kershaw OutLaw folder for over 12 years as my do everything edged tool. Decent blade and I really like its no slip grip
I also carry a
Chad Banos Boker SubCom $24.00 a money clip. Do not discount this diminutive blade it has an excellent design that provides an extraordinary grip. No one will be taking this knife out your hand and you will have total control. I put a convex edge on mine. Sharp as a scalpel it will split a roast in two with a flick of the wrist. Mercop has a good tutorial on it on his SubClaw page
For a fixed blade I carry either either a BK 11 for $36.61or a
or a Chad Banos MPT from Boker for $56.97
The pic sizes are not in proportion to each other
Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family
^^^ Used to have the same thing until I lost it in the water cutting a guys line. The boat owner was appreciative and went to West Marine to get a replacement. Sadly they didn't have any SOG's (or he was to cheap) and got my a Gerber clone. They're a nice versatile knife. I use it for cutting boat lines, opening lids, screwdriver, etc. etc. Couldn't imagine not having a knife on me.
I have seen few people that are very good deploying a folder under stress from their reaction side. The only knife that fills this role for me is the Emerson Karambit worn reaction side in reverse grip.- George

Geez, Meowm says she's happy about 2008, despite all the tragic world & economic events...
First off, she's very happy about her marriage to Pawps, that they both have jobs, their new house, their and their families' health (especially their parents who are much older), and our new 6 member family.
Although I've been sleeping downstairs, playing with imaginary wisps of hair and lost bottlecaps, they've resorted to pretending to give me treats so I will sleep inside their master bedroom with them. Its been about a week now, and now I snuggle up on the foot of the bed. I still won't sleep on Meowm's pillow like I used to, but she says hopefully I'll remember the softness of her memory foam pillow and change my mind. hehe
The past 2 weeks since Christmas, I've been extra cuddly, and have gone up to Dad and Meowm for some extra canoodle action. My fave thing to do still, is to lie on their chests while they're on the sofa, or while Dad's on his video games, or while Meowm's on her laptop. I like to sleep facing them, and will headbutt the person I'm sleeping on, then snuggle my little face underneath their chin.
My purr is so soft...you can barely hear it...but its soothing and so sweet...so delicate...You can hear it when they rub my chin just so, and when I am sleeping on their chests, enjoying their body heat. hehe I also enjoy kneading their fluffy robes, and will do so for at least 10 minutes at a time. I go into what Meowm calls my "kneading trance," and I look like I'm playing the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto as I spread out my paws real wide, dip my head, and close my eyes in full concentration as I play the imaginary piano keys on her nice, fluffy robe...Ahhh to be a kitten again...
Meomwy and Pawps like to wonder how my life started. They did hear from the SF SPCA, that I was taken from a feral colony by SF Animal Control. Then, I was hand plucked by the SF SPCA a large non-profit rescue org up in the Bay area, and a month later, taken to the Bay Area Pet Fair where I first met Bella, Meowm, and Daddy.
Daddy who has this wonderful talent in reading animals and people extremely accurately, said he knew that I would be calm, mellow, and loving towards Bella. When I met her for the first time, I continued to play with the little sparkly dangly toy, and I sniffed her nose. Within 10 minutes, Bella and I were drinking out of the same bowl. Within 1 hour, I was already out of the bathroom area. Within 3 hours, I was bathed and sleeping on their bed. Within 1 day, I was already trying to play with her.
But more importantly, within 1 minute, I'd already stolen their hearts.
Since then, I've been Bella's best friend. But as I got older, I got lonelier. I still continued to play with Bella, but it wasn't enough for me. I got bored, and didn't want to play with toys anymore. So they finally here comes Tabifa, with her sassy princessy ness, and we are now totally like brother and sister. I accepted Tabifa with open paws, and there was no adjustment period. M and D wonder if I would've been that way with any other cat, as I have such a loving, accepting temperament. I don't mind a change of environment, I just use what I have available...
The best example was how Meomw and Pawps would take me from the Bay area, and drive down to the LA area. That very night, I'd be using a different litter box, different litter type, and sleep in a different room, meanwhile deal with a nosy white dog sniffing my butt all the time, different food and water bowls, and 2 strangers (gramma and grampa), plus all their friends who come to visit. But each time I visited, I didn't mind at all-- I had no litterbox or food upsets-- it was as though I had not traveled at all. Mom and Pawps used to scratch their heads and wonder how a kitten could adjust so easily and quickly to change.
I was like that every single time-- even when they moved back down and we had to drive down, and even when we had to stay with Gramma and Grampa for about a month or so, I loved it there...
When the vaccuum is on, I just stare at it idly. It doesn't scare me one bit, and I will fall back asleep even when it is whirring away. Meanwhile Tabifa is scared for her life, and hides like a Thursday zit waiting for Friday. haha
Although I don't cuddle up like a lap kitten (I'm a breast man haha) like Tabifa does, I don't mind when they hold and cuddle me. Sometimes I give Meowm especially, the paw- I put my soft paw on her mouth so she'll put me down,but I don't squirm, scratch, or meow. I let them hold me and kiss me and hug me all the time. I think I just won't tell them how much I love the attention, by pretending I'm not affected by it. That's the Milo way-- so Zen about all that is life (though I do get pretty darn excited about cookies & mamma-- korean word for "food.")
Meowm says my coat has been glistening so much, as she defurminates me weekly, and she feeds me Evo. It has done wonders for Tabifa's coat, as her adult starts to grow in slowly. My hair is shinier than Moms she always says! hehehe
Well its been a good 2 weeks. I like having Meowm and pawps home more often. They said something about it being xmas and New Year's, but all I know is that these are times when the Santa figurines come out, and there's tons of tinsel and garlands to knock down! hehe I am looking forward to Meowm being able to work from home eventually,b/c then I'll get more chest cuddle time.
Meowmy tells me every day how much she loves me, and what a great kitty I have. She never thought a cat could be so wonderfully sweet and implacable, and says she has been permanently spoiled b/c I don't have ANY typical cat qualities or finnickiness.
The only vice I have is that I HATE when people touch me near the mouth, which they didn't discover until they finally had to give me oral meds. Well lo and behold, Zen Milo too has an Achilles' heel.
The other night, Meowm saw me LICKING my canned Evo. She thought it was hilarious b/c she always wondered how Tabifa could get to Milo's food every time. Then she saw Tabifa taking giant chunks and eating w/o swallowing. No wonder! Well that's why she says I've been so little, b/c I lick my food daintily (I know its kinda girly), and that I must've been plucked from the feral colony really early, and/or I was the runt (b/c I would've let my littermates eat all the milk and wouldn't have been mean or aggressive enough to fend for my own teat). hehe
But Meowm and Pawps make sure to give me enough food, and they've been watching Tabifa more to see how much she takes from me (its usually not much, just a few extra bites). Plus, they want me to stay nice and trim at 7.14 pounds, as I don't like to play daily like Tabifa, and it will be harder for me to lose the weight.
I groom Tabifa every single day, and tabifa will groom me right back. We sometimes sleep together, but we have our separate fave spots on the giant cat tree, and she hogs the lion bed most of the time, as she is NEARLY MY SIZE at only 7 months! She's always been a food monger, so Meomw and Pawops will have to be careful as she ages about making sure she doesn't get chubs. They are really good at monitoring our food intake, as neither of them want to deal with obesity-related health issues, and want to ensure that we are as healthy as possible.
Meowm even has toyed with the idea of organic raw food, but she hasn't gotten there yet. She hopes to get the dogs started first, and then try us kitties. There's been random spells of vomiting, one time from Milo, and we think it was the sudden change of food, which is SO bad, but we had run out of food, and we didn't have a choice that one night- it was either new kibble or starve. Sigh. Anyhoos, never again. We'll be sure to mix the food well, and to have back up food in case.
Meowmy says I'm such a wonderful little kitty, and a wonderful big brother. I've taken Tabifa under my wing, and we are found sleeping near or together pretty much every day. We play fight, and pounce on each other too for good measure. She keeps me entertained, trim, and happy. They noticed I have a bigger skip to my step, and seem more alert with my kitty bud. I was so bored, and also tired of being Bella's only victim! haha Now that we have RUby, the first big dog Dad and Mom have raised indoors only, Bella and Ruby hang out all day for the most part, and Bella is so tired after playing with Ruby so it means less Bella-pouncing-me time! Always good especially when you have the survival skills of a lame duck. Oops, oh well.
Meomw and Pawps are really trying to be good about my not getting out. One time Ruby was out going potty, and I stuck my head out the door and Meowm freaked out and shut it immediately! I have become more and more curious about that door, as Ruby gets to go out that door several times a day for potty. So M and P have to be extra careful that I don't escape, as they know I'm curious about the outside world. they won't even put me on a harness and take me outside, for fear of fleas and also they don't want me to get a taste of the outdoors, and then whine to go outside:)
I'm Meowmy's sweetie cat. Yeah yeah Tabifa is extra sweet too, but I have an extra sweetness, a mellow, imperturbable quality that is necessary in our home w/our ADD-ridden Bella boom boom. I don't even mind when she bum rushes me, and wants to play fight, and often do it right back to her.
They were so worried about me, Bella, and Tabifa lately. Especially me, b/c after the foster dog was here in her crate in the living room, I didn't appear stressed or show any signs thereof. So when I started getting the snifflies, then drooling and blowing snot bubbles, they had to rush me to the vet. Sigh. Meowmy was so terrified I had contracted something viral somehow even though I never get out, as you never know with these things. I went through a 1 week period where I was isolated from everyone, w/a humidifier on sometimes, and just hanging out on the Aerobed by myself. I was miserable, but Mom and Dad came in periodically to give me bliss therapy (snuggle and cuddle time). Thankfully, about a week later, I got better after taking a stronger antibiotic called Clavomax.
The only problem was, they discovered my IRE for all oral medications. I'd never been medicated before b/c I was always in the peak of health, so they were shocked and surprised that I would run away, fight them, bite, and thrust my head away so the medicine would just fly everywhere all over their clothes. They were glad when that week was over.
Then they found out a couple weeks later that Tabitha had tapeworms. Daddy admitted he'd seen some white particles on my rump but hadn't put two and two together. Anyways I'm all better now, but Meowmy wishes I would sleep on her pillow like I used to.
Ever since we moved here, I've been sleeping in the bedroom and on her pillow less and less. Nevermind there's a huge area underneath their new bed which is great for getting away from all things human and canine, which is my new sleep spot. hehe You can only get in there through the back of the bed, and the slot in the front and sides are too small for Mom or Dad, or Bella to reach and grab me. So I like my privacy. But Meowm hopes one day I'll again sleep on her pillow one day...
Tabifa has become Meowmy's little angel, as she has turned out to be a big cuddlebug. I am more of a breast man, and like to sleep on their chests. Tabifa likes laps, and just likes to lounge near and on them as much as possible. She also has this intoxicatingly soothing purr that Meowmy loves. But Meowmy assures me she doesn't love me any less, and she still comes over to me many times a day and night to give me kisses, hugs, and to play with me more.
Dad says I look happier with Tabifa around. Before, I would get harassed by Bella, but now, its cut in 1/2 b/c Tabifa takes the other half. haha I also like cuddling with Tabifa, grooming her, and playing kitty games that only kitty games are permitted to play. They say that I appear happier, and don't seem as bored and listless before. They really did get Tabifa for me, and I liked her from the start. There was basically no adjustment period, as I have always loved the new kitties, and tried to play with the feral kittens. I am such a great ambassador for foster kitties, and love them all! Too bad Meowmy won't let me have nasal or fur contact with them, as she doesn't want me to come down with anything. Meowmy is kind of a hypochondriac sometimes, and forgets that I'm vaccinnated for feLV, and also FVRCP. Soooo anyways, you never know, esp. with covert diseases like FIP. She didn't know there were so many dangers of having a multi cat household and taking in a stray, so she is going to be even more careful if and when they adopt another permanent kitty.
Meowmy says she loves me very much, and loves that I wake up in the morning and accompany her while she gets dressed, and while she puts on her makeup. She loves that I sit up there, just watching, meowing and chirping here and there. She loves that I enjoy her head butts ,and neck scratching which she is sooo good at. She also likes when I run down the stairs with a murmuring noise as I race down for breakfast!
The Evolution of Mimi...
Mimi, oh sweet Mimi. She's our latest foster kitten that Grandpaw plucked off the streets. Just a little background on her—she was only about 6 weeks old when Grandpaw rescued her. She was so brave—as soon as he'd come over every night to feed the feral colony, she'd come running up from her hiding place to get first dibs. Sadly, she had a really bad eye infection that turned itchy, and she scratched her cornea with her nails. We took her to the vet, and the vet said her eye would just go bad, and didn't have to be removed. We were all really sad about that, b/c she is probably the prettiest, most dainty little girl we've rescued thus far. Mimi is a beautiful, tiny little white kitten, with splashes of calico markings, and a clear white face. Her now bad eye, has turned milky white, but her normal eye is a light yellow color, almost green…She's got the teensiest little paws, and an even teensier little meow. Such a cutie.
Day 1: Grandpaw moved her to Mom's house, b/c she wasn't getting enough socialization inside her crate. She was liking it there, but it doesn't mimic a real home environment. Day I was last last Friday, September 28, 2008. She was hissing at anyone, flattened her ears, and wouldn't let anyone come close. However, she's allowed us to pick her up, and has NEVER even gestured to bite, scratch, or hurt the humans in any way.
Friday, October 10, 2008: Luna is brought over with Mimi, after their vet appointment. They are so far getting along, though we didn't see any close contact between the two. Later that night, Mimi has her paw on Luna' butt, snuggling away. Luna couldn't care less.
Saturday, October 11, 2008. The roles have reversed. Mom finds them together in the old cloth organizer. Luna now has her paw on Mimi's butt, and they're snuggling together.
Sunday, October 12, 2008: Mimi for the first time decides to play without fear, bc Luna is there. They both engage in some play with the dangly toys. It's the first time Mom ha seen Mimi come out of her shell. She seems happier with Luna, and keeps on following her around. She even understands the food is coming from Mom, and eats from Mom's holding out the bowl for her with no problems.
Week 2: October 13, 2008. On Monday morning, Luna, the older 5 month old black and white kitten was staying with us. Mimi comes out of her area, and sideways, starts walking towards Mom still scared. She tries different alternate routes to become physically closer in location o Mom, but Mom has to go to work. Luna gets adopted later that night, so sadly Mimi is alone again.
Tuesday: Mom wakes up to feed and medicate Mimi. At night after work, Mimi responds well to Mom caressing her neck and giving her massages, and starts purring like crazy. She sits with mom on her lap for quite some time, but I starting to tear up in the eyes again. That morning, s he raised her butt b/c she like mom petting her.
Wed: Same thing as Tuesday, but Mom sees Mimi knead her paws, almost imperceptibly as she massages MIm's little neck and head area. So far, it's really cute. She also seems to know that Mom is the food source, and gladly and greedily accepts the Tasty Temptation treats she doles out one by one from her hand. She even play bites Mom and exposes her belly to Mom for the first time, though she is still really really scared. Also, she raised her butt again ever so gently, and enjoyed playing with Mom. She was still really scared, and won't grab the ball, but at least chases it!

I'm not particularly old or wise, but this I can tell you: for a little more money than what people are paying for this game console, you can build a PC whose performance will rival that of the PS3. Plus you can use it for a whole bunch of things that you can't do with a PS3. Therefore I've never been a fan of purchasing something so expensive that has limited use, limited upgradability, and unlimited ability to become obsolete by next Christmas.
Look, it's not any more greed or materialism than in years past. People are earning more, and can afford more expensive things. Personally, I can't stand in line for three days to get something that will be widely available in 3 months. A super rare gun? Maybe, but not a game console.
But it sounds like this kid got his tit in a wringer when he decided to commit armed robbery. That's a bit more serious than lifting a Mars Bar from the corner gas station. Did he deserve to get shot over it? We can only hope that a fair investigation will find out for sure.

amandathompson2 Review
The top is not the best material and it is poorly made. I am very disappointed in the quality of the product. I had hand washed it in a gentle detergent and rinse and it has been worn twice. It is pilling and it also bunches. Looks are deceiving. A terrible product/brand.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Moderate to poor
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate

"The Human Factor" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 11 November 1963, during the first season. The title was re-used in 2002 for an episode with an unrelated plot.
Doctor James Hamilton develops a device that allows him to experience the thoughts and feelings of another person.
Opening narration[edit]
|In northern Greenland, the mountains stand like a wall along Victoria Channel, whose straight course marks the line of the great Baffin Fault. Until recently, not even the Eskimos ventured into this arctic waste; but, today, as in other lonely places of the world, the land is dominated by those instruments of detection which stand as a grim reminder of Man's fear of Man. This is Point TABU, a name given this predominantly underground base by a young officer who explained that the letters in TABU stood for 'Total Abandonment of Better Understanding'. Some two hundred men and a few women make this their permanent residence. Their task is to maintain a constant alert against enemy attack, and be prepared to respond to it, devastatingly.
At a military outpost in Greenland, Project Engineer Maj. Brothers (Guardino) begins losing his grip on reality - while wrestling with guilt and remorse - after losing one of his soldiers in an icy crevasse. Mentally haunted by a spectre of the dead man, Brothers decides he must detonate an atomic device to obliterate the crevasse, along with any implicating evidence of self-imposed incompetence - and the outpost, as well - to purge himself of his emotional anguish. The outpost's psychiatrist, Dr. Hamilton (Merrill), uses a revolutionary mind probe machine in an attempt to understand what is driving Brothers mad. During the experiment, Hamilton learns of the officer's plan to destroy the outpost as their minds join for a split second. When an unexpected earthquake causes the device to malfunction, the minds of Hamilton and Brothers are switched. This new identity enables the insane officer to set about his plan for destruction while in the guise of the doctor, with the real doctor - now in the guise of the disturbed officer - confined to a padded cell, desperately trying to warn everyone of the impending doom. When Hamilton's administrative assistant, Ingrid (Kellerman), who had earlier expressed her love for the doctor, reads his notes that were taken prior to the experiment, she learns of the possible exchange of minds between the two men. Ingrid then comes by the cell to talk with Brothers about his claims of really being the doctor, where he convinces her that he is actually the man she loves by revealing an intimate detail regarding their relationship; something that the officer would know nothing about. Now realizing that the wrong man is behind bars, she helps him to escape. Meanwhile, attempting to obtain information from another officer on how to detonate the bomb, Brothers is ordered to return to the doctor's office, where he encounters Hamilton and Ingrid. Brothers, intent on killing Hamilton before he can expose his true identity, is mortally wounded during Hamilton's attempt to attach the electrodes from the mind probe machine - with help from Ingrid - to himself and to Brothers. At the final moment of the process, just before Brothers dies, Hamilton's mind is successfully returned to his body. Afterwards, both Hamilton and Ingrid try to make sense of the ordeal, while wondering how to explain the unbelievable circumstances surrounding Brothers' death, with Hamilton suggesting that they simply tell the truth - Maj. Brothers shot himself.
Closing narration[edit]
|A weapon? No, only an instrument: neither good nor evil, until men put it to use. And then, like so many of Man's inventions, it can be used either to save lives or destroy them, to make men sane or to drive them mad, to increase human understanding or to betray it. But, it will be men who make the choice. By itself, the instrument is nothing, until you add the human factor.

Lots of oil in plug wells
I'm trying to help my sons friend with this problem... his single mom was able to buy this car for him but now this problem has surfaced and they can't afford a mechanic... the spark plug wells are full of oil. It will start and idle but after a few minutes driving it dies. I've cleaned them out and tried it but it fills up quickly. I'm assuming there is a leak from the nearby valve? covers.
Any help will really be appreciated! Thanks
