Who knew that such a beautiful and tranquil setting could be found so close to San Francisco?? Located just 4 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, this is a two bedroom, two bath villa in Tiburon Belvedere, with stunning bay and San Francisco city views from every room.
The living room features breathtaking panoramic views of San Francisco Bay, Angel Island, and Berkeley to San Francisco. The house is complete with surrounding grounds, including garden and fruit trees.
Living room includes Telescope, game cabinet, piano, and a fireplace with gas starter. Redwood deck overlooking view, with barbecue.
Dining room seats eight, has gorgeous views and vaulted ceiling.
Gourmet kitchen with granite counters, professional quality gas range, and double wide refrigerator with ice maker, oven, microwave, and warming tray. Kitchen opens to living room and dining room via two sets of French doors. Kitchen has vaulted ceiling with skylight.
(IMPORTANT: this is an ENTIRE DETACHED HOUSE, NOT AN APARTMENT OR CONDO, unlike SOME OTHER rentals in this area that try to deceive you. For example, there is a property advertised as a luxury home, that, if you read the reviews, you'll find out that the owner also lives in the house and occasionally needs to use the bathroom. Yuck. We aren't playing any such games here. I strongly recommend you read ALL of the reviews for any property before renting to get the full picture.)
What We Like About This Location:
When we're at home, we love to watch the hundreds of sailboats that race along Racoon Strait, right in front of the house, and the giant tankers and container ships that sail through the Golden Gate.
We love walking from the house along the shoreline, to downtown Tiburon. The ferry terminal is right there, there's no better way to visit San Francisco than by ferry.
Tiburon's Main Street, which is right there, is picturesque and quaint, with lots of excellent restaurants.
You can also take a ferry boat to Angel Island State Park (the large island that you see in the bay right in front of the house).
By car, you can be in San Francisco or the Wine Country in minutes.
(Please note: Please read the Terms and Conditions regarding the cleaning deposit, property damage insurance and credit card authorization.)
This house is available for 30 day rentals.
We love to travel, and occasionally make our home available to rent when we are away.
Owner purchased this house in 1980
Awesome views, excellent climate, and fantastic small town with small town feel, great shops, and excellent restaurants, and easy access by ferry to San Francisco, plus close proximity to Napa and Sonoma Valley wine country. The best of all worlds! No wonder Tiburon is some of the most desirable real estate in the U.S.
Most vacation rental properties don't provide much in the kitchen, not even salt and pepper, cooking oil, sugar, spices, coffee, tea, rice, pasta, etc. We provide all of these things and more, condiments, sauces, as well as a fully equipped kitchen that has every tool and appliance that a gourmet chef would desire. The cookware isn't cheap stuff, but top of the line cutlery and All-Clad cookware. Even if all you cook is the occasional breakfast, you will be pleasantly surprised how well equipped and stocked the kitchen is.
Our stay in this lovely home was the perfect ending to our cross-country journey. The home is well furnished, very comfortable and offered some of the most breathtaking views. I can't believe how peaceful it was! We will be back!!
The pictures do not do justice to the amazing views from this home. Our young family of four played, cooked, and rested very comfortably in this home. We found everything we needed to cook, relax with a book and play board games with all ages. Thank you!
this home was exactly as described, a beautiful scenic 2 bedroom that allows you to gaze into the bay. i strongly recommend it.
This home is a perfect escape from the hustle bustle of San Francisco and Sausalito! The deck is amazing and the view is unbeatable. The citrus trees in the backyard were a great bonus too! Beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood is peaceful and scenic. Can't wait to come back!
Great views of San Francisco Bay - nearly as good as Sydney! You could sit and watch the boats go past for hours! Particularly when they have Twilight Races at SFYC on Friday evenings. House is very well set up - the instructions are a bit anal, but you can appreciate why! Can't think of a better place from which to explore the SF Bay Area and the Napa Valley.
Very nice. Home was exactly as advertised. Thanks Bruce!
Minutes from San Francisco by ferry or by car, and in the sun-belt: This part of Tiburon has sunny afternoons while San Francisco and Sausalito are covered in fog. Also a short drive to California's Wine Country: Napa and Sonoma valleys. Close to Muir Woods National Monument, and the beautiful beaches: Rodeo Beach, Muir Beach, Stinson Beach. Majestic Mount Tamalpais, with its breathtaking views of the entire San Francisco Bay Area, is a short drive away. The idyllic Town of Tiburon is a tourist destination in itself: quaint shops and chic restaurants along the historic waterfront and Ark Row. The ferry from Tiburon to San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf, and Angel Island are all a short walk away.
Other Activities: Shopping, Kayaking, Wildlife Viewing, Rock Climbing, Boating, Sailboat Racing, Wine Tasting, Theatre
Golf: Very many world class golf courses in this area!

A simple trip to the local farmers market can turn into an adventure when you get home. While you were snagging all the colorful produce you could carry, perhaps you weren't considering how you might store it later.After trekking from the car to the kitchen with heavy grocery totes, you suddenly discover that storing your new vibrant mound of potatoes, pears, butternut squash, and apples is going to take some creative refrigerator shuffling.
Fortunately, many fresh fruits and vegetables don't have to be kept in the fridge. Even the deepest crispers have difficulty holding all the produce a healthy-eating family needs in a given week. And oftentimes, storing produce in the fridge makes it easier to forget what's there, with broccoli buried beneath kale, and carrots hiding behind a bunch of beets. Finally, some produce (like tomatoes and potatoes) actually lasts longer when kept at room temperature.
If you find yourself pressed for storage space, it's time to get creative.
Think About Wheels
Lea Schneider

Go Vertical
Lea Schneider
One way to do this is to hang baskets. Hanging wire baskets come stacked to maximize storage. You can also look for woven hanging baskets meant for plants, but you can store your fruit in them instead.
Multi-level baskets or trays that stand on the kitchen counter are another good option for getting the most out of a small area while staying organized. Use one basket for fruit and another for vegetables.
Be Artistic
Lea Schneider
Tuck It Away
You can easily adapt a lower cabinet into produce drawers. Pullout wire bins can be added to your existing shelves, or add wicker or plastic baskets that you can easily slide out. Make sure that your basket choices allow for plenty of air circulation to keep your produce fresh.

Latest Enron Autopsy Implicates Wall StreetJul 29, 2003 | Ft.com
Autopsies of Enron have thoroughly highlighted the role that certain accountants from Arthur Andersen and the energy company's own unscrupulous executives played in its demise. But on Monday, a new cause of death was illuminated: Wall Street.
A long-awaited report from Neil Batson, the court-appointed bankruptcy examiner, concludes there is ample evidence that Enron's bankers led by Citigroup and JP Morgan were not only aware of the company's wrongful conduct, but knowingly helped it along.
The latest Batson report, which runs to nearly 1,000 pages, offers intricate details of how the banks often against their own internal objections helped devise the dubious financial schemes that allowed Enron to survive.
It repeatedly knocks down banks' contentions that such transactions must have been acceptable because accountants such as Andersen signed them off. In many cases, Mr Batson found that crucial financial information was withheld from Andersen but not the banks.
In monetary terms, the report suggests the banks could have to cough up more to fend off private lawsuits than the $300m that Citi and JP Morgan agreed to pay regulators on Monday over their involvement with Enron. The banks might also see their $5bn in claims against bankrupt company pushed far down the ladder of creditors.
In reputational terms, the Batson report represents another stinging blow to an industry still reeling from humiliating scandals over initial public offerings and tainted stock research.
Citigroup comes in for the harshest criticism. The bank generated more than $188m in revenue from Enron from 1997 to 2001, acting in a variety of roles from underwriter to investor.
Its most damaging activity may have been the pre-pay transactions that Enron used to disguise loans as commodity trades. A senior Citi accountant objected to one such transaction, according to Mr Batson.
Nonetheless, Citi engaged in more than 60 of them. In one year, 1997, they accounted for 76 per cent of Enron's reported cash flow.
In one email dated July 2001, Paul Deards, a Citigroup derivatives executive, referred to the pre-pays as "simply manipulating cash flows". In October, after Enron was falling apart, Mr Deards asked a colleague for a confirmation that: "(apart from the fact that we put deals together for enron which we knew confused the ratings agencies) there is no skellington [sic] in the closet."
Citi engaged in other structured finance deals despite internal warnings. In one case, a Citi executive wrote a memo to Michael Carpenter, the former head of Salomon Smith Barney, stating that the accounting in an Enron transaction, called Project Sundance, posed "a franchise risk to us if there is publicity".
"In participating in many of Enron's [special purpose entity] transactions, Citigroup appears to have violated or ignored its own guidelines for appropriateness," Mr Batson wrote.
JP Morgan did not come off much better. The bank routinely referred to Enron internally as one of its most important customers. In 2000 alone, it garnered nearly $30m in revenues from Enron. Most of its deals resembled the pre-pay transactions crafted by Citi.
While other banks did less business with Enron, they also proved crucial to the company's dealings. Mr Batson noted that Barclays often supplied the outside equity investments that allowed them to be swept off Enron's balance sheet. In several cases, Barclay's shares were actually disguised loans, the report found. Merrill Lynch, CIBC and Deutsche Bank also came in for criticism.
Mr Batson's report also reconfirmed the role that several Enron executives played in crafting Enron's fraudulent special purpose vehicles.

Photos: Cleaning Up Colfax Avenue, Denver's Most Notorious Street
A broken window on a shuttered business.
Kevin J. Beaty
The Colfax Business Improvement District is working to clean up the "Upper Colfax" stretch of the infamous avenue between Josephine and Grant streets.
Frank Locantore, community director of the CBID, spent the summer interviewing business owners block by block to understand the issues they face.
And last month, Locantore outlined the district's plans and goals in the organization's e-mail newsletter.

Kevin J. Beaty
The district's plan starts with "discovery" and "assessment" stages (nearly completed), before moving to "clean-up," "create" and "maintain" stages.
It calls for stakeholders to "demonstrate 'ownership' of the Colfax community" to deal with graffiti and trespassers, among other problems.

Kevin J. Beaty
The district's strategy relies heavily on a passive shaping of the community to deter blight, drawing inspiration from "Broken Windows" policing.
"Streetscaping," the district's top-rated solution, suggests that stakeholders can take control of their blocks with lights, trees and bike racks to beautify the neighborhood.
But a major piece of the strategy, which is not listed in the plan, involves the construction of strategic infrastructure like fences and flower boxes to ensure security and discourage loitering.
During Locantore's block walks this summer, he heard a lot of talk centering on annexing alcoves and doorways to keep out unwanted elements.

This summer, for example, the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception at Colfax and Logan Street tore down large planter boxes lining the block and replaced them with a new fence.
Church officials say the area was a regular hangout for drug dealers and users.
Locantore points to these changes as an example of how community ownership can be asserted.

A second focus of the Colfax Business Improvement District's plan: better communication between police and community stakeholders.
At one of his summer meetings, Locantore mentioned the possibility of a "Colfax Journal," which would be a shared document between cops and business owners to address specific issues.
The Basilica's new fencing started as a suggestion from Denver Police Department.

This cooperation with authorities also plays out in "Trespassing Agreements," in which a business owner can designate whether or not his property is fair game for trespassing enforcement after hours.
"It is more difficult for owners to enforce when the business is closed," notes Locantore in the newsletter.
These agreements give police power and direction to eject people from certain spaces at night.

The District has also made donations to the Guardian Angels, the red-beret-wearing safety volunteers who patrol the neighborhood mostly on Saturday nights.
The Angels are seen by business owners and authorities as an effective force against trespassers and criminals.
According to Locantore, business owners will be able to file trespassing agreements with the Guardian Angels as well.

"To be clear," writes Locantore, "there is no one single thing that is needed to help Colfax Avenue live up to its potential as the greatest Main Street in Denver. It takes attention, collaboration, support, and some TLC.
"I can affirm that the CBID Board of Directors has committed resources and prioritized this effort and I will maintain forward momentum in order to improve this great and storied Avenue."
One of CBID's 2016 goals is to have at least 50 percent of businesses in the area make trespassing agreements with the Denver Police Department's District 6.

HP Cuts 24,600 Jobs In EDS Integration
Hewlett Packard is cutting 24,000 employees from the firm, as part of its $13.9 billion acquisition of EDS, a spokesperson for the firm said Monday afternoon. According to HP, it will cut the jobs as part a restructuring of the firm. HP said the restructuring was due to "synergies" it found in its corporate overhead, according positions in real estate, IT, and procurement. HP said in May that it was acquiring EDS, which is based in Plano. The cuts represent approximately 7.5 percent of the company's workforce. A spokesperson for the firm told Texastechpulse.com that HP does not know how many Texas employees will be affected by the move, saying that which employees will be affected will be determined over time. HP was also unable to provide numbers on how many employees are located in Texas; EDS was one of the largest employers in Texas, with an estimated 10,000+ employees in the state.

Our author has explained that all virtue is perfected in two virtues, meekness and now we consider charity; love of God for Himself above all creatures, and of man for God even as thyself. We have seen that meekness is comprised of two parts, recognition of our wretched state without God and a repentance and turning to God in perfect Love. Now our author moves to an examination of charity.
Charity he says comprises two parts: firstly to bemean to thine understanding, but love of God for Himself above all creatures, and of man for God even as thyself. In this we should bemean or better lower our understanding. If I understand the thrust, our author is asking us to not attach importance to understanding, to make our understanding lowly. And concentrate fully on love of God for Himself above all creatures, and of man for God even as thyself. Is it perhaps that in making understanding lowly, we allow the higher consciousness of Love to develop? This is the naked intent . Ignoring all created things in the universe, even his own self the contemplative should ask for God to give nought but Himself.
In this manner, Loving God the second and the lower branch of charity is fulfilled perfectly for Christians. All men whether friend or foe become equal to him. And are Loved equally and perfectly, because God responds with Love to the contemplative, and Love of God becomes the Love of all mankind.
A further meaning for the Medievals of Charity is divine grace. Is this not a beautiful way to be Christian?

Shortly put, as a recent-come fan of Borderlands, I've played it a lot and have almost all the trophies, just missing "Ding! Champion" and "And They'll Tell Two Friends", outside from the DLC, which aren't required for Platinum.
As I'm obsessed with getting Platinum trophies, I would love to get the latter one. So, does anyone of you who are reading this have it, so that I could obtain it? My friend has tried public matches (and he's missing it as well), with negative results.
If you would be so kind to help, my PS3 online ID is MLGisNot4Me. I don't have a mic (though even if I did, I'm too shy of my accent to speak clearly), but communication via PSN chat/messages and other forms of IRC are fine.
Thanks! --MLGisNot4Me talk 19:54, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Although we recently featured another Ten Spoon wine, those grapes were from Washington's Yakima Valley. This month the owners of Ten Spoon asked if we would like to use a wine made from Montana grapes. This is the first time we were able to try true organic Montana wine and we were very pleased from after our tasting.
Over 20 years ago, Connie Poten and Andy Sponseller worked with friends, family and volunteers to turn a rocky patch of 4.5 acres into the lovely Missoula, Montana vineyard and winery it is today. Ten Spoon crafts award-winning, sulfite-free wines, many of which are made with estate grown grapes. Despite Montana's short growing season, the long daylight hours of the north allow them to successfully cultivate primarily French-American varietals: Frontenac, St. Pepin, LaCrosse, Marechal Foch, Leon Millot, St. Croix and Swenson Red. Ten Spoon is also dedicated to preserving the environment and supporting small farms. The land was originally purchased to save it from development. Since then, the rocky slope has been transformed into a healthy open space for wildlife and the vineyard irrigation system is solar-powered. The fruit and grapes not grown on-site are all purchased from family farms in Montana, Oregon and California. And right along Ten Spoon's driveway, there's a small lavender farm called Rocky Mountain Lavender, which they actively promote on their website.
The majority of French-American hybrid grapes for this red blend grow in Ten Spoon's own vineyard. The Clark Fork Vineyard and Saddle House Vineyard, both Missoula Valley vineyards, provide additional organic grapes. Varieties include Maréchal Foch, Frontenac, Leon Millot and St. Croix. The sum of the parts have produced a lighter bodied blend with distinct flavors and aromas of, red and black fruits, and flowers, with a subtle undercurrent of licorice. It is velvety in texture and shows no hard edges. Its smoothness finishes with some slight spiciness that is both pleasant and long. A perfect quaffer by itself or serve alongside some garlicky sausages or salty cheeses.

Anyone who operates a Jeep knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the highest quality replacement parts will do.

Your Jeep dealership isn't the only place to locate the highest quality parts to repair your Scrambler.
Maintaining a clean appearance for your engine is visually rewarding and will prolong the life of the components under the hood. Jeep Scrambler valve cover gaskets keep oil that would normally lubricate the camshaft, rocker arms, and lifters inside the valve train rather than all over the rest of the engine.

The valve cover gaskets on your Jeep Scrambler engine are made of materials that can withstand high temperatures for years and years.
Don't let a broken Valve Cover Gaskets & Seals spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy.

Purchase from Africans for Africa and Institutional Markets Knowledge Sharing Seminar
Brasilia, 10 June 2014: On June 02 2014, top officials gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to review the achievements of the Purchase from Africans for Africa programme (PAA Africa) at the Purchase from Africans for Africa and Institutional Markets Knowledge Sharing Seminar.
PAA Africa is a joint initiative to promote food and nutrition security and income generation for farmers and vulnerable communities in African countries. The objectives of the Seminar included technical knowledge sharing on the implementation of the programme; identifying potential gaps in procurement and implementation; promoting dialogue among political officials in the region and between non-PAA African countries; as well as supporting civil society discussion and involvement.
The event included the participation of H.E. Mr. Tefera Derebew (Minister of Agriculture, FDRE); H.E. Ato Fuad Ibrahim (State Minister of Education, FDRE); Dr. Lamourdia Thiombiano (FAO Deputy Regional Representative for Africa); Dr. Modibo Traore (FAO Representative to the African Union and UNECA and Sub Regional Coordinator for Eastern Africa and Representative to Ethiopia) and Mr. Pascal Joannes (Deputy Country Director in Ethiopia, World Food Programme). The IPC-IG's Research Coordinator, Diana Sawyer also attended the Seminar.
PAA Africa is a joint initiative of the Brazilian government, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Initiated in February 2012, this pioneering initiative aimed at empowering smallholder famers takes place in five African nations; namely Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Senegal. The programme is inspired by Brazil's Food Purchase Programme, PAA (Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos) which has been in place since 2003 as part of Brazil´s Zero Hunger Strategy.
PAA Africa has been seen to improve capacity, support markets and alleviate poverty. It leverages WFP's Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative which supports food procurement from smallholder farmers in 15 countries in Africa. PAA has an extensive reach thanks to the input of the FAO. PAA Africa has enhanced the capacity of smallholder farmers to seek micro-credit loans, while affording them the ability to repay them, increasing overall agricultural productivity while stimulating financial markets. The programme also improves nutrition of school children in local communities, further enhancing communitarian commitment to the programme while improving school attendance.
Diana Sawyer was very pleased to observe how the institutional demand within PAA Africa was proceeding. She also noted the urgent need to establish procedures for monitoring and evaluation, specifically impact evaluation. It is very common that a program has a good targeting system but poor coverage of the vulnerable population. Therefore reaching the most vulnerable is of crucial concern. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the activities of PAA are a part of a broader national agricultural and food security plan, the approach must be a sustainable one. Brazil's former President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, sent a video message to the Seminar stressing that both political will and local community engagement are key to expanding PAA Africa so as to make Africa food self-sufficient and free from hunger by 2025.

District Of Columbia House Voting Rights Act Of 2009
Mr. COBURN. Mr. President, I know my colleague from New York wishes to speak and I will be very brief. I should not take more than 10 minutes.
We are in a debate about the District of Columbia and the fact that they are taxed and not represented with a vote in the Congress. It is a legitimate debate. I tend to look at the Constitution and, as a matter of fact, as I read the Constitution--and I am not a constitutional lawyer, but I will tell my colleagues that anybody who reads the Constitution can say this is an unconstitutional bill we have in front of us.
I also reject the idea that the District of Columbia does not have representation. All one has to do is look at the facts: $66,000 per resident of the District of Columbia, that is how much money the Federal Government spends per capita in the District of Columbia. That is $5.5 for every dollar they pay in taxes. So the 535 votes in the Congress have well represented them greater than any other group of citizens in the country. But there is a claim--a legitimate claim--that they don't have their own representative and that they are taxed.
This is a simple amendment. What it says is while we work this out, the way to be fair is to eliminate Federal income tax on citizens of the District of Columbia. They don't have a vote. Their tags even say taxation without representation is unfair; no taxation without representation. This solves that. They will have to change all of the auto tags. I don't know what that will cost. But the fact is we will take away Federal income taxes on money earned in the District of Columbia from every citizen of the District of Columbia.
Now, two things happen with that, especially since they have 535 representatives already. Think about what will happen to the District of Columbia in terms of income. Think about what will happen to the District of Columbia in terms of economic progress. Think about what will happen in terms of the value of the ownership of any asset in the District of Columbia. Think of the growth. Think of the modernization that will happen as we make this the center of progress based on the idea that because there is no representation, there should be no Federal taxation. It is a very simple, straightforward amendment. It solves the immediate problem. When we finally do a constitutional amendment with a joint resolution, which we are ultimately going to have to do, what we will have done is given the people of the District of Columbia the benefit of having a tax advantage because they don't have, under their thinking, representation in the Congress.
I am not trying to have a cute vote. If I had my way, I would try to eliminate almost every Federal income tax. As the Senator from New York knows, I try to do that quite often, and try to eliminate a lot of spending. The whole point being, there is a legitimate point to be made by the citizens of the District of Columbia in that they are treated differently than everybody else in this country. My argument is they actually have 535 representatives plus their Delegate, and it has shown to be very effective for them, because no place else in the country gets as much Federal money per capita as the District of Columbia. So if we want to treat the citizens of the District of Columbia fairly--by the way, this excludes all Members of Congress, so if my colleagues are thinking about voting for it for a selfish reason, please don't. If you are thinking about voting for this amendment on the basis of fairness, please consider it.
I wish to take a few more minutes to comment on the Ensign amendment, if I might, and then I will finish. The Ensign amendment isn't about concealed carrying, it is about the right that is guaranteed under the second amendment to be applied to people in the District of Columbia.
James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 46:
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ..... forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.
If you look at the murder rate in the District of Columbia, what happened when the gun ban in 1975 was first instituted, we didn't see it rise that much because we allowed people to keep their guns. When the complete ban took place, we saw a fivefold rise that is still going up--except for the last 2 years--in the murder rate compared to the rest of the cities in this country. There is something to be said for the thinking that a perpetrator of a felony thinks he or she may possibly be harmed significantly. That tends to drive down violent crime--we know that--in the States that have concealed carry, and that, I believe, is 26 or 28 States. It may be even more than that now.
The fact is, this isn't about concealed carry; this is about guaranteeing the
rights of individual citizens in the District of Columbia to represent themselves with a right that every other citizen in this country has. Because Congress didn't act on that right, it took the Heller decision to give them that right. All this does is bring into line the District of Columbia with the rest of the States in the country. I will have taken the amount of time that I should in favor of Senator Schumer. I thank him very much for the consideration of allowing me to go first. I thank the chairman of the committee as well.

In fact, as a measure of how much his wit can hurt, when Clarkson actually does give a compliment, a carmaker might simply be happier about not getting roasted than about getting a good review.
The London Times has posted a dozen delicious lines from various Clarkson reviews for those who need a gleeful laugh to round out their Saturday. You don't even need to be told who wrote them, because who couldn't identify the scribe in question from the scent of just this one line: "If you were to buy a 6-series, I recommend you select reverse when leaving friends' houses so they don't see its backside." (BMW 645 Ci, #11).
One of the great things about Clarkson is that he doesn't spare any carmaker his thoughts on everything. The Ferrari 599 (#12) and Maserati Quattroporte (#1) take their lumps alongside Kia (#3) and Perodua (#5). One of our favorites: "I'm choosing the words for my conclusion with even more care than usual. So here goes. The 1-series is crap." (#2) As always with Clarkson, it's well worth more than just one read.
Thanks for the tip, Tom!

Got that? Well, the world of miniature networking is open to you.And we really do mean mini, with an OLED screen of just 1.3 inches to throw out all that data. Read all your incoming messages, control the music playback, locate your 'lost' phone (within reason) and of course, keep up to date with every social networking update as it breaks. Yes, never miss a 'tweet'.Mikael Henriksson, Head of creation and offering planning at Sony Ericsson Extras, said: 'It is our ambition to be THE Communication Entertainment brand and this includes being the most open mobile phone brand on the market.

Remember this little busy guy?
You've seen much of him since the late 1990s?
I thought I spotted him today in Canada:

But he just would not move. No more digging. No matter how many times I clicked.
It just took a little convincing (and messing around in Photoshop) to bring Under Construction Man into 2012
Go, constructiona man, go!
The post "A New Under Construction Man" was originally pulled like taffy through a needle's eye at CogDogBlog (https://cogdogblog.com/2012/11/under-construction-man/) on November 21, 2012.

Good ideas:
1. Only doing the laundry every two weeks. It makes Robbie appreciate my contributions to our household chores more. And if I have to wear a pair of underwear twice, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
2. Taking the first Monday of November off to work on my NaNoWriMo novel. This is an even better idea considering that as of Friday, I had not a single usable idea.
Bad ideas:
1. Sleeping all night on a heating pad to get my shoulder to uncramp. The act of holding the heating pad in place caused a worse cramp and I nearly strangled myself with the cord.
2. Stuffing an entire cupcake in my mouth because Mike at work dared me to. I felt vaguely like vomiting for the next 2 hours or so.

PotME at Wikia
Welcome to the PotME mini wiki at Scratchpad!
You can use the box below to create new pages for this mini-wiki. Make sure you type
[[Category:PotME]] on the page before you save it to make it part of the PotME wiki (preload can be enabled to automate this task, by clicking this link and saving that page. Afterwards, you may need to purge this page, if you still see this message).
Power of the Mid East(PotME) Is a total conversion for the famous computer game "Empire Earth", designed by Empire Creations and based on an idea of Normandy887.
Power of the Mid East moves the focus of Empire Earth to the Middle East, including Iraq, Iran, Israel and Saudi-Arabia. Additional maps, such as PotME_New York or PotME_Texas extend the area of PotME to the United States.
New features: PotME eliminates some of the old features of Empire Earth, but adds several new ones to it, to allow adapted gameplay. PotME only uses 2 out of the five, originally used resources of Empire Earth. IRON and GOLD In Power of the Mid East, IRON represents oil, which is being mined from oil-well derricks by civilians. To transform oil to money, it has to be refined. Refining oil works automatically, if you have refineries(settlements in normal EE).
Command HQ: Produces civilians, canine scouts and officiers
Barracks: Produces infantry
Factory: Produces tanks, artillery, and transport vehicles
Hangar: Produces helicopers and aircrafts
Refinery: Resource drop off point
Power plant:(only Coalition and Opposition) Produces energy
Oil-platforms: Oil source (available on land and sea)
Mosque: (Terrorists only) Produces suicide units and hatemongers(priests)
Fractions: Power of the Mid East introduces 3 new fractions with completely new aspects of gameplay.
1.) Western Alliance or Coalition Forces: Advantages: strong army, best aircrafts
2.) Mid East Forces or Opposition: Advantages: good economy: automatic resource gathering
3.) Terrorists: Advantages: Strong suicide units, no energy needed Disadvantages: fewer units, weak standard troops(tanks, aircraft, infantry)
Suicide Bomber: B52 that crashes after bomb drop
Terrorist: Armed with grenades. Blows himself up in two shots
Suicide Boat: Blows up itself and other ships near it
Hatemonger: Coverts enemy units

from Zero Hedge:
"There is this sort of collective psychology that says that the Fed can keep this going, that the Fed is in control. But, in fact, central banks are not in control… Central bank balance sheets are twenty-trillion, the whole global securities and derivatives market is a half-a-quadrillion. So, in fact,central banks are miniscule compared to that. The only thing they have going for them is this collective psychology.It's an illusion of control."
Central banks have created a bubble in the stock market, which will come down "very, very hard" when it finally prices in a series of Fed rate hikes, said Universa's Mark Spitznagel, warning that "the markets are absolutely not positioned for this."
CNBC anchors were stunned into relative silence as Spitznagel unleashed truth-bomb after truth-bomb. Those 'facts' are just hard to argue with…
Key Excerpts…
CNBC: Well what's the precipitating factor?
Spitznagel: Well, the ultimate cause of that would be the fact that the central banks got us here in the first place. Ultimately, my view is that central banks are the cause of bubbles.
CNBC: So you're betting essentially that the central banks, whether it be the Fed or the ECB, they can't unwind the trade that they put on years ago. It's going to be a messy unwind for their trade.
Spitznagel: There's no doubt about that.
CNBC: But is that really a black swan? Because you've got all these people at Delivering Alpha talking about it, isn't a black swan supposed to be something that nobody is talking about? Godzilla attack on Tokyo, out of the blue, or something like that?
Spitznagel: So it's great that everyone's talking about this now. I had a little less company a few years ago when this was sort of building and now it's so obvious, you know, the casual user has become an addict, and now we're concerned about this. And that's great. But you're right it's not a black swan. The reason I'm going to still call it a black swan is because the markets still price it as a black swan.
