Well, kinda–sorta. We're still settling in to the new place, and between that and other things that keep on flowing, it seems that there isn't much happening here that's worth talking about.
And of course the transition between domiciles hasn't been exactly glorious: I'm still trying to find stuff and instead I keep finding more stuff to try to fit into a small, already–overflowing kitchen; I'm trying to reduce the number of brain cycles spent on the fact that the downstairs bathroom has red and gold bordello–worthy wallpaper; and I'm trying to decide what color to paint my bedroom ceiling and walls. Why yes, I want the ceiling to be a different (and not white) color than the walls; it isn't unheard of.
A few items to share, of possible interest to some of you:
Our Ballerina's school year has ended. Because most classes are closed to observation, I've not seen her dance for several months; thus it was a lovely surprise to see how much she's learned this year. She has an inherent grace (it didn't come from me!) that will really shine if she develops a keener sense of rhythm. Considering how long she's been dancing, she's accomplished quite a lot already.
Our Karateka is up for promotion, and test day is rapidly approaching. He's getting nervous about it (as well he should: although our sensei do not invite students to test if they aren't ready, passing the test is by no means a given thing). Concomitantly, he's being prepared to move from the children's class to the adult class. Mr. Snolf has also been passed the lawn–mower mantle, to his trepidation (toe–eating machine!) and delight (cashy money!). He's handling all these changes with aplomb. [I am not up for promotion—breathing issues kept me out of training for a month and I'm still working on getting back to where I was before they waylaid me.]
We have a few tomato plants, a couple of peppers, and some herbs planted. As usual, the weather has been cool and rainy since they were put in.
I have several knitting projects lined up as well as in progress, but one pattern has been kicking my ass. Stubborn Snake that I am, I've been focusing on conquering it, pretty much to the exclusion of everything else. The snolfs may grow out of the socks that I've knitted for them before I complete the seconds.

I must admit your red and gold bathroom has captured my imagination. Can you add, say, light fixtures with beaded shades? A shower curtain with schools of gaudy tropical fish? Purple towels? The possibilites are endless! :-)

How could I forget?
The red part of the wallpaper pattern is velvety. And the countertop is 70s vintage bright orange. Alas, no tub or shower. Oh, and it's also carpeted ... a medium–long chocolate brown (or so it appears to me).

family story to share
...a medium–long chocolate brown (or so it appears to me).
This sentence fragment reminds me of a story my mother has retold over the years.
When my folks got married, it was during the Korean War and they settled in a town that was near an active airbase. Housing was extremely tight, due to the influx of military families. My folks moved into an apartment that had been converted from a series of old hotel rooms. In the bedroom there was a carpet like you describe, medium-long chocolate brown fibers. My mother, creeped out by the general upkeep of the crumbly rooms, cleaned and cleaned. She included said carpet, which she scrubbed by hand with a scrub brush.
It turned out the carpet was actually a beige color. And it was taking her forever to clean it. Majorly upped the ick factor of their apartment, knowing how filthy the carpet was. When the opportunity came up to move into an actual apartment, they jumped at the chance. Mom was half way done with the bedroom carpet when they moved out ( they lived there 2 months), so it was half beige and half chocolate brown when they vacated the place.
I hope your carpet is really a nice chocolate brown (which I like). RE: wall paper, it sounds interestingly retro. The counter tops--- uggh!

The unthinkable is happening
Lewlew, your story is turning me off of chocolate brown. I don't want to consider what all may have contributed to the shade shift of that beige carpet ... so gross. As to the true shade of our bathroom carpet, it could be a deep maroon; the room has no exterior wall and therefore no windows to allow natural light in—and the lighting in the room isn't all that great (adequate to the customary tasks, though).
One thing the countertop has in its favor is that it's a smooth, easily washable surface. In the kitchen, the countertops are yellow, and have just a touch of texture to them ... and there's all kinds of mystery crud in them. I scrubbed and scrubbed (with baking soda) and got up a lot of embedded grime, but some was more stubborn than I—and of course, our use is putting more grime in. I don't think I'm going to be able to advance my pie crust skills while here.

Red-and-gold bathroom ought to get you awake in the morning!
I've seen a bright, but muted, violet-purple (if you can picture that) on the bedroom ceiling, with pale pastel lavender on the walls. Of course the room was fairly large, and there was a large window, so it could handle the heavier color pushing down on it. But it was a beautiful room.
My three tomato plants suddenly sprouted six fruit, golf ball-size. Hope the weather starts cooperating with your plants too.

I'm not a big purple fan, yet the room sounds lovely to me. I understand the logic of white walls as the "canvas" on which to create via wall hangings and other decorative items, but I think it is grossly overused. The right paint(s) or wallpaper can serve the same function, and with a greater sense of style and individuality.
This house has some splashes of color, but all the paint is flat—so the walls look dull in the overcast days that dominate our weather here. I'd been leaning toward trying to re–create the blue (ceiling) and yellow room I had a few houses back, but none of the paint chips we brought home really speak to me. I've always wanted a red bedroom ... my room is fairly spacious and has a northern and western window, so I think I could do it. Maybe a deep red base color and sponging or rag–rolling a second color (gold? ;-) over it. Whatever I decide, the paint will definitely have some gloss to it.
My three tomato plants suddenly sprouted six fruit, golf ball-size. Hope the weather starts cooperating with your plants too.
We've had a couple of sunny, warm days, but would welcome more. One of the tomatoes had a cluster of blossoms, but I pinched them off to encourage more growth. I hope yours are doing well.

What a memory!
I really feel for you with the mismatched Technicolor bathroom. When my first husband and I were married, we moved from his old studio apartment (REALLY wasn't going to work out there) to a house across the street. Unfortunately, the previous tenant had painted ALL the walls deep, dark purple. Including the kitchen and bathrooms. No carpet of any kind, thank goodness.
Anyway, I was not prepared to live with purple walls, especially with hardwood floors and a red brick fireplace. Oh, the nightmares.
We prepped the walls with a serious primer, then painted with the thickest white latex we could get. The landlord paid for the first coat... but it took four coats to tone it down to a nice, ugly lavender.
We moved out before I totally lost my mind.
I think.... :)

Purple people–eating walls?
For those of us old enough to remember the song ...
The original purple must have been truly hideous for you to call the lavender both "nice" and "ugly", Mama.
- Login to post comments
How funny!
I honestly didn't notice the completely incongruent adjectives when I wrote that! LOL But yes, it remained ugly and only the contrast with totally hideous purple made it in any way "nice."
Obviously, I'm not fond of purple either. To me, "lavender" is a scent, not a color.

The room under discussion is the powder room—the downstairs bathroom for guests to use. Apparently, this house was rather opulent in an earlier incarnation; the drapes in the living room attest to that, as does the aforementioned powder room, and the chandelier now hanging from a garage rafter.
Isn't it bad feng shui to have a mirror in one's bedroom? ;-)

Seeing life in this newness, in the good news of the day, loving news of the day, and connecting news of the day. All with goodness and gratitude—every bit of it. Every bit of it with love and stepping into the challenges, feeling the fear, feeling the pain, feeling the anxiety, feeling the 'I can't'. Gently pushing and moving, and taking a step. Lean forward and allow the motion of the body to move. Every day, visualize through meditation and love, the perfection of the day. A simple smile and a breath, and I say thank you God for this day. How blessed life is.
For a short moment, the flash of the universe is with us. Ever so short, feel the shortness, now let it go and see the eternal light within. Heaven is that eternal light. It's not the place you're going; it's the place you live right now. In words we be. In words, God has gifted and granted all this amazing perfection. In words we be. Love is the key of life, all life, all things, and all experiences. Go for a walk, a run, a ride, read a great book. Read a book of growth, of creativity, of love. If it's only entertainment that you desire, there's little growth in life. Read the story or write the story that will give you creative ideas, simple as that. Keep moving forward; keep exploring the universe with love. Coming together, sharing with hugs. Remember, all things are created in the mind—all things—past history, future mystery, and the present moment as they say is now. As Jesus says, dream—dream as if you already have that dream. See it as if you already are living that dream. If you think it a nightmare, there it is. If you can imagine the gift of what you've always had, always will have in pure love, you've got it.
My blessings to you this day, and every day. Dr. Rob.

Book Banning
Why do people censor books? They are usually censored out of fear that is mistaken for moral outrage.* Parents and authorities want to feel in control of our lives and use book banning to satisfy their control. They use the ethic of: if they don't know something, it will never be a problem. The most censored books are the ones that make us think, and question our own values.
One of the youth populations' favorite books, Harry Potter, is also popular amongst Christian censors. They feel that the "good" characters ethics to lie, steal, cheat and other various wrongs influences us to make the same choices to achieve a higher good. While this can't be disproved, there is something to be said about lying to keep the welfare of another. Censors also say its author, Rowling, tries very hard to make the villains as heinous as possible to undermine, the "good" characters bad choices.
Along with Harry Potter, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a very controversial book. It is mostly criticized for its predominant use of the "N" word. The book usually offends African American parents and students. Compromises are usually made to balance parental and community concerns, need for academic freedom, and educational and constitutional problems that arise. Who isn't all for academic freedom and the choice of reading classic?
At our school only a few books have ever been banned. The banning was used to protect the lives of the students attending our school, and in one extreme case, a student from harming themselves. The student had been going to the counselors about depression, and later requested a book about suicide. For the safety of the student our librarian refused to allow the book in the school. Our school is very lenient in the case of book censorship, and often brings in controversial material to open its readers to the world.

Elegy for Eddie (P.S.)by Jacqueline Winspear
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Early April 1933. To the costermongers of Covent Garden—sellers of fruits and vegetables on the London streets—Eddie Pettit was a gentle soul with a near-magical gift for working with horses. So who would want to kill him . . . and why?
Maisie Dobbs's father, Frankie, had been a costermonger, and she remembers Eddie fondly. But it soon becomes clear that powerful political and financial forces are determined to prevent her from learning the truth behind Eddie's death. Maisie's search for answers on the working-class streets of Lambeth leads her to unexpected places and people: to a callous press baron; to a has been politician named Winston Churchill; and, most surprisingly, to Douglas Partridge, the husband of her dearest friend, Priscilla. As Maisie uncovers lies and manipulation on a national scale, she must decide whether to risk everything to see justice done. Synopsis:In this latest entry in Jacqueline Winspears acclaimed, bestselling mystery series—"less whodunits than why-dunits, more P.D. James than Agatha Christie" (USA Today)—Maisie Dobbs takes on her most personal case yet, a twisting investigation into the brutal killing of a street peddler that will take her from the working-class neighborhoods of her childhood into Londons highest circles of power. Perfect for fans of A Lesson in Secrets, The Mapping of Love and Death, or other Maisie Dobbs mysteries—and an ideal place for new readers to enter the series—Elegy for Eddie is an incomparable work of intrigue and ingenuity, full of intimate descriptions and beautifully painted scenes from between the World Wars, from one of the most highly acclaimed masters of mystery, Jacqueline Winspear.

"James sustained a dislocated left patella, as well as rupturing associated soft tissue. Fortunately, he does not require surgery," said Ospreys physio Daloni Lucas.
"He initially faces a period of non-weight bearing on the injured leg to allow the ruptured tissue to heal, after which he faces a period of rehabilitation to regain leg strength.
"In total, he is looking at a 10-12 week lay-off, which should hopefully see him returning to fitness in time to make the Junior World Championships should he be selected."

To get out the message, the Fort Worth, Texas-based retailer Monday said it will host "Netogether," a three-day event in New York City's Times Square and San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza, later this week.
"When a brand becomes a friend, it often gets a nickname -- take FedEx or Coke, for example," said Lee Applbaum, RadioShack's chief marketing officer, in a statement. "This creative is not about changing our name. Rather, we're contemporizing the way we want people to think about our brand."
The move coincides with RadioShack's addition of T-Mobile to its lineup of wireless carriers as part of its strategy to increase its share in the mobile device market. The retailer also sells mobile phones and calling plans from Palm, Research In Motion and Sprint-Nextel. Other electronic products are sold in the company's 4,500 stores or through its online site, such as GPS receivers, digital music players, laptops, digital cameras and TVs and gaming devices.
RadioShack has come a long way since it was owned by Tandy back in the early '60s to mid-70s, when it primarily sold CBs, radar detectors, stereo equipment, the first mass-produced personal computer, the TRS-80, and, of course, radios. And if you're still nostalgic about the company's Realistic products, you can find them -- cassette recorders, amps, transistor radios, receivers and walkie talkies -- on eBay.

The sheer size of The Ohio State University can be intimidating.
The power and talent of the institution's football program has been intimidating and overpowering opponents for decades. Just ask the unfortunate chaps from Florida A&M.
But Saturday, big, strong, overpowering Ohio State got down on one knee and showed its softer side.
Before the game against Florida A&M, Ohio State guided more than 100-thousand people through a moment of silence.
The reflective moment was not for a former coach or player. It was not for a big donor or a former Governor.
The moment of silence was for an Ohio State student who lost her life in a car accident earlier in the week.
Maria Tiberi was 21-years old. She is the daughter of Dom and Terri Tiberi. Dom's connection to Ohio State is just this side of family.
Ohio State completed that connection with its brief and touching tribute before the game.
The players remembered Maria by wearing her initials on their helmets. Urban Meyer wore her initials on a button worn on his jacket. The program was wearing its heart on its sleeve.
Journalists who cover the Buckeyes are frequently looked upon with disdain. Such is not the case with Dom. He's covered the Buckeyes for 30 years. He's covered coaches from Bruce to Meyer. Athletes from Atha to Zelina have been interviewed by Dom Tiberi.
Dom likely gave up a few family dinners to give the appropriate coverage to the Buckeye family.
Though it doesn't come close to taking the pain away, Ohio State and Coach Meyer did what they could to make sure Dom's real family knows his Ohio State family is hurting too.
The Buckeyes said thoughts of Maria helped motivate them as they beat FAMU 76-0.
Meyer didn't hesitate in the press room in the moments after the game,"With a heavy heart as a team, the Tiberi family is on my mind. I know I speak on behalf of myself and my staff. The family meant a lot to myself and other people; I didn't realize how many. We gave them a helmet and you wish you could do more for that family."
That quote from Urban Meyer was pure class. With Meyer leading the way, Ohio State showed a side of itself people should see more often.
It showed that the power of an institution can be used compassionately to help a family when its hurting.
It lived up to the words of its alma mater.
"How firm they friendship, Ohio."

An insight offered in this week's parshah provides an extra measure of motivation to become "new and improved" for the New Year.
The Torah gives us 248 "positive" commandments and 365 "negative" commandments. While it is without question that we owe unswerving loyalty to each and every mitzvah, nonetheless, Hashem, chose
to emphasize certain mitzvos. In Parshas Ki Savo, Hashem proscribes twelve actions with the statement, "Cursed is the one who..."
Not only are these twelve actions prohibited, but the one who transgresses them carries the label "cursed"!
The last of these curses is given to someone "who does not fortify the words of the Torah to insure their fulfillment." In the Talmud Yerushalmi, Rabbi Shimon ben Tachlifa understands this verse to refer to the need to establish a beis din, a religious court of justice.
The Ramban adds that fortification includes the establishment of a king and a beis din who have the ability and the power to strengthen Torah observances among those who are not presently upholding its precepts.
The beis din's role is amplified by a Gemara which explains that before each of these curses was stated to Klal Yisrael, as they stood on Mount Grizim and Mount Eival, a blessing was given to those who fulfill these mitzvos. Not only does one fulfill a mitzvah by observing these commands, but he is also labeled "blessed" by G-d.
The Chafetz Chaim emphasizes the unique opportunity each Jew is presented in his own community. By generously supporting the day schools, yeshivos and kollelim in one's community, one receives the badge of honor "blessed."
Moreover, this opportunity begets an awesome responsibility. We can and must reach out to all of our bretheren who have not been fortunate enough to experience and explore the beauty of Torah and its way of life.
We must support outreach organizations not just with our money, but also with our time and effort. We must bring our fellow Jews into our homes and show them the beauty of a Torah lifestyle.
With this badge of honor, the G-dly label of "blessed," as motivation, we can break the inertia of our "being" and take monumental strides toward fortifying the Torah and its observance among acheinu benei Yisrael . We can then approach Rosh Hashanah with more hope that we will merit the seal of life.

State Librarian's Report
Jo Budler
2008 Year in Review
As I sit down to write this Year in Review, I note that today the Stock Market swung wildly, much like a roller coaster, spanning over 900 points. Many of us feel that this is the same wild ride that we have been on for the entire year!
Our budget cuts (10% in February 08; 4.75% in Sept. 08; and projected 10% for the new biennium) were challenging to say the least. We have survived – much to the credit of the State Library staff who continues to give the best customer service possible while they move library material and shelving to save on rental space. Our material budget has shrunk but we utilize the resources of OhioLINK when we answer reference questions and train our customers to search for answers and do research.
We became a WebJunction partner state this year. As part of our subscription, we are able to offer online courses to librarians from all types of libraries across the state. Check this out at http://oh.webjunction.org/.
We also were the first state library in the country to offer WorldCat Local to our customers as a new service providing a solution to local discovery and delivery systems. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. This production went live in spring 2008.
We have been busy on the resource sharing front as well. Starting with the issuance of a Request for Information in late 2007, we have been pursuing an alternative to the current Statewide Resource Sharing system which would reduce the labor-intensity for the library staff of participating libraries. We are currently engaged in conversations with 9 other states and hope to issue an RFP as a result of this collaborative effort.
And we don't want to forget the READ posters project we started with the Governor and the First Lady. As I continue my visits across Ohio, I am pleased to see them in so many of the libraries. We plan to continue producing these as time and funding permits.
My library visits have been great; I have completed visits to 109 public libraries and a couple of academic libraries! I am planning more for the year to come. I learn so much from each of you during my visits. This really does help us in our planning and prioritizing, especially at times like these when funds are being cut and it is not possible for us to do all that we wish to do.
The 2008 Directory of Ohio Libraries was a successful project thanks to the help libraries provided by updating their contact information as well as the generous support of OHIONET who printed the directory.
But the work, the challenges and the fun doesn't stop there. The partnerships are many – Ohio Ready to Read, Libraries Connect Ohio, and our newest initiative – a take-off on the One Book, One Community – Choose to Read Ohio. You can read about these and more in this issue of The News.
Here's to a very happy and promising new year!

Why Size Discrimination?
I'm VERY irritated with this so-called fashion industry, fashion scene, or fashion whatever. As a designer, you have the right to create whatever you like, in any size, and for any person. There are no boundaries to what you design or envision to be fashion. You can be as brave and bold or as simple as you want. There is an infinite amount of freedom to express who you are in your designs.
With all of this freedom and creativity floating around, I am confused as to why size discrimination is so prominent in the fashion industry? Why do they hate us fat girls? Why so many excuses? It's really starting to sound like a broken record around here.
Yes, I'm a fat blogger, but I don't hate skinny girls. Unlike a lot of fat phobic people, I love and appreciate all sizes. That's my personal decision, I understand you have your own opinion. I just don't understand why the fashion industry, who encourages setting trends and diversity of art, is so afraid of change. Look at the runway, every other model looks the same.
Where did all that creativity and braveness suddenly go? The reality is, female bodies and shapes are changing.
Size discrimination, doesn't just end with straight sizes either. The plus size fashion world is guilty of this too. I know I've said it a million times and I even have
Curves and Chaos is proud to join this campaign. As you can tell I'm a little passionate about it. LOL. I'd love for you to be involved as well. Click the ad above to see how you can help fight size discrimination and learn all about body acceptance.

Yes and no. I don't have any PHP experiences, but I do have a general idea
I'll rant a little here to provide a more complete picture of the whole
TELNET differs from the other protocols in the curl family of supported
libcurl has not been properly designed (or adjusted) to handle protocols like
The libcurl TELNET support will read data on *stdin* and pass to the remote
So, to automate telnet with curl, you need:
Then you'll get the data the host sends you the "normal" way, while you need
I hope you this was informative enough.
I am not a PHP hacker.

Results of October Oil and Gas Lease Sale |
Bonus bids at the Bureau of Land Management's October 18 oil and gas lease sale in Billings totaled $6,812,693. The highest single-parcel bid was $1,957,500 submitted by Clear Creek Resources LLC of Edmond, Okla. for a 783-acre U.S. Forest Service parcel in Billings County, North Dakota. Contex Energy Company of Denver, Colo. submitted the highest per-acre bid at $5,000 per acre for a 120-acre parcel also located in Billings County. All of the 102 parcels offered received bids, totaling just over 24,400 acres. Fifty-six parcels were offered in Montana (7,913 acres), 45 parcels in North Dakota (15,456 acres) and one parcel in South Dakota (1,062 acres). Additional information regarding competitive sale lists, detailed results of sales or the leasing process is available by writing the Bureau of Land Management, 5001 Southgate Dr., Billings, Mont. 59101, by calling (406) 896-5004, or at www.blm.gov/mt. Oil and gas leasing is driven by consumer demand, and competitive oil and gas lease sales are conducted several times per year at BLM's Montana State Office. Receipts from federal oil and gas leases are shared with the state or county where the lands are located. All leases are issued for a 10-year term. Potential environmental effects that could result from exploration and development are analyzed before any leases are offered for sale. All leases come with conditions on oil and gas activities to protect the environment that can include limits on when drilling can occur or restrictions on surface occupancy. Once an operator proposes exploration or development on a BLM-issued lease, further environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act is conducted to determine the site-specific need for various types of impact-limiting or mitigation measures. In addition, many operators routinely use Best Management Practices such as remote monitoring of producing wells to minimize surface impacts. |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs. |

I recently attended a forum for the 12 candidates running for the two Oxnard City Council positions.
After listening to the various questions asked of the 12 candidates, it was not only obvious to me but also to the rest of the audience that Bert Perello was the most knowledgeable candidate about what is going on in our city and solutions to correct some of these problems.
I urge any and all voters to attend at least one of these forums for themselves, it will certainly help you to make an informed vote on which candidate will best serve our city come November. My money is on Bert Perello.

no entries appear in the Federal Register after this date.
This is a list of United States Code sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, which provide rulemaking authority for this CFR Part.
This list is taken from the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules provided by GPO [Government Printing Office].
It is not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date, though we do refresh the database weekly. More limitations on accuracy are described at the GPO site.
Executive Order ... 12234
Title 46 published on 2012-10-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 46 CFR 70 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-16955 RIN 1625-AB83 Docket No. USCG-2012-0919 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Coast Guard Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments and related material must either be submitted to our online docket via h ttp://www.regulations.gov on or before October 15, 2013 or reach the Docket Management Facility by that date. 46 CFR parts 2, 24, 25, 30, 70, 90, and 188 The Coast Guard proposes aligning its regulations with the 2010 Coast Guard Authorization Act. Before 2010, uninspected commercial barges and uninspected commercial sailing vessels fell outside the scope of a statute requiring the regulation of lifesaving devices on uninspected vessels. Lifesaving devices were required on uninspected commercial barges and sailing vessels only if they carried passengers for hire. The 2010 Act brought uninspected commercial barges and sailing vessels within the scope of the statutory requirement to carry lifesaving devices even if they carry no passengers. The Coast Guard proposes requiring use of wearable personal flotation devices for individuals on board uninspected commercial barges and sailing vessels, and amending several regulatory tables to reflect that requirement. This rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's marine safety mission.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-30984 RIN 1625-AB71 Docket No. USCG-2011-0363 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Coast Guard Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments and related material must either be submitted to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before March 11, 2013 or reach the Docket Management Facility by that date. 46 CFR Parts 2, 24, 30, 70, 90, 91, and 188 The Coast Guard is proposing to revise several vessel inspection and certification regulations to align them with a statutory definition of "seagoing barge" and with an exemption from inspection and certification requirements for certain seagoing barges. The proposed revisions are intended to eliminate ambiguity in existing regulations, to reduce the potential for confusion among the regulated public, and to help the Coast Guard perform its maritime safety and stewardship missions.

Best Headphones EverPros: Lightweight, Affordable, Superb Sound Quality Cons: Cheap wire will end up failing after heavy use (1yr~) Did you find this review helpful? |
Pleasantly surprisedPros: For the price, very good sound...beyond what I expected! Light and comfortable to wear. 1/8 inch plug with 1/4 inch adapter included. External volume control just what I wanted. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I bought these to replace an older version from the same maker. Finally wore out the old pair and needed a new set of phones. Seem pretty sturdy. Did you find this review helpful? |
Better than expected!Pros: For the price, these are decent sounding headphones. Overall construction is good! Cons: Wiring seems a tad flimsy Other Thoughts: Kudos to the shipper. Didn't hear anything about status for 24 hours....then received a USPS tracking number. Arrived in TWO days. Shipped priority mail...really good considering the price. Did you find this review helpful? |
Does the jobPros: Good sound quality Cons: Could have more size adjustments Did you find this review helpful? |
cheap sound, without sound cheapPros: not an audiophile by any means, sounds decent, reasonably comfortable for long duration wear. doesnt jam glasses frames into your temples. good all-arounders, tv movies music games, you name it Cons: lasted about 9 months before one of the speaker wires came loose inside the jack Other Thoughts: speakers sit slightly forward on the ears, so it mostly sits on the side of your head, rather than pressing your ears flat, but loses a little richness of sound for it, mostly in the bass frequencies Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent HeadphonesPros: I've used these lightweight, comfortable headphones for the last fifteen years and I recommend them to everyone. They have remarkable sound quality. The bass is strong but evenly matched with the mid and upper frequencies. I've given away more than 20 of these as cheap gifts and everyone, including musicians, remarks about the sound quality. If you've been using the phones that came with your mp3 player, you'll be amazed at how much better your music will sound. The cord is a good length for a portable clip on your belt mp3 player and it has a volume controller on the cord. They are perfect for your computer or TV too. The phones fit all head sizes and shapes. You will forget you are wearing them because they are so lightweight. Cons: Really, at this price, if you have any trouble with these phones, just buy another or 3 others. But if you are a homeless person on a budget the cons are: The volume control may give out on you after some use. The one I use with my desktop computer is still working and sounding perfectly after 8 years but I've had others that lost sound in one ear within a year of heavy use. The plastic on the adjustable band is a little flimsy. Replacing the foam ear pads is tricky for me. Other Thoughts: Even at five times the price they are still a bargain in terms of their excellent sound quality and comfort. I've worn these for ten hours straight while working in the yard and I forget I've got them on because they are so lightweight and comfortable. Most importantly, they sound great. Did you find this review helpful? |
Optimus Pro 35Pros: Enormous 1.5" titanium diaphragms and neodymium magnets. Don't be fooled by higher priced items. These headphones have been around for over a decade under several different brands. Time tested to say the least. I'm a gamer and these hit the low notes VERY clearly. Night and day difference. After 8 years of faithful service, the left earpiece died. Cons: One time I had a hair in it that made a rattling sound. Had to take the foam cushion off to pull it out. Other Thoughts: If you're a gamer or an audiophile, don't pass these up for something more expensive. You can buy two for the price of something more expensive and less impressive. They also make an earcup version if that's your thing. Did you find this review helpful? |
BANG for the buckPros: They Sound Great for Cheap. As I've seen noted elsewhere, they have powerful, tight bass, reminds me of the ancient Koss Pro4As that got me through college - but more clarity. Nothing else like it in this price range. Needed clear, bass-capable phones for my home recording rig, these will do it. Cons: Seem a bit fragile, and I'm guessing the on-the-ear design is not going to be as comfortable as my Sony earbuds or no-name circumaural headphones. But for the sound, I'll put up with a lot. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
My Favorite HeadphonesPros: Good frequency response and sensitivity. Very comfortable and they look nice. I use them with my digital piano and the sound is extraordinary, especially for the price. Comes with Gold 1/4" adapter. Titanium. Cons: They are not super high quality in terms of manufacturing. But for the very low price, that doesn't matter to me. A certain retail shop sells these exact same headphones for 3 times what you see on this site... Other Thoughts: I've been buying this same headphone set for the last ten years. Of course the look has changed, but essentially it is the same headphone. I'm on my third set. The other two eventually wore out, which I think had to do with the volume control piece. You can't go wrong with these headphones. I like them so much that I have purchased a few as gifts for friends in the past. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: They looked cool and fit relatively comfortably. Cons: The left earpiece provided absolutely no audio output, though the right one seemed to be alright. The packaging was fine, and everything looked to be in working order, but I was unable to get these functioning after testing on two separate computers. Other Thoughts: I realize that there are probably plenty of good sets, as evidenced by the two glowing reviews already given. I'd still recommend you look elsewhere for your headphones. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Happy Friday the 13th! Here are highlights from today's show
Historic Voter Volatility in This Year of Fear
Anxiety over the economy is hitting how Americans feel about our political leaders hard. According to WSJ's Jerry Seib, "Today's dark public mood appears to be the culmination of a long stretch of national anxiety encompassing a historic terrorist attack and two lengthy wars, followed hard by the worst economic crisis of the last 75 years. The nation is in a period of volatility that started well before this year, and that may stretch well beyond it." More from Jerry In an extended interview from today's WSJTM. Download MP3
'Overpaid' Pensions Being Seized
Pension funds that over paid benefits to retirees are trying to recoup money even if that money was paid decades ago. That means cutting payments to, in some cases, as low as 70 dollars a month. WSJ's Ellen Shultz talked with people in the midst of this clerical error. Download MP3
Suddenly Tiger Is Human, and Public Takes Note
"Could miserable golf turn around the desolate life of Tiger Woods?" says WSJ sports columnist Jason Gay. After hitting the worst mark of his career, public support for Tiger is swinging back in his favor. Download MP3

This is the best hotel I had ever stayed in London. It has all facilities a busy traveller needs including excellent free internet in the rooms and wireless in the lobby, very responsive staff, spacious and impeccably clean rooms. For me optional daily cleaning is a big advantage too - no overzealous cleaners desperate to clean the room regardless of the don't disturb sign! - Olga
The staff were friendly, professional, and responded promptly to a couple of problems with my understanding of the air con and tv channels with good humour. The location was great. - Jeannie
It was very good situated within walking distance to virtually everywhere. The hotel was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. - Linzi

Have one question - Are you planning on making your own assets? Because Im pretty sure everything you have used so far are library assets.
We will be making our own assets. The reason we've only used library ones up to this point is that it is still very early in development, and they help give up a sense of scale and potential layout as we design the level. Essentially, some of them are acting as placeholders.
Some of the library assets will be replaced as we get custom made ones that fit, for instance, the generator will be replaced with a more authentic model, once it is modeled, until then, the library version will occupy its place.
Fluffy! You guys are getting into game creating! Great to see!
I could help you guys out with 3D Animations, but... I am kind of pushing it a bit too far with working on my own mod and then helping the OGSE team with their Animations.
Oh well, We live around the same Time Zone and it's always better to be able to chat that way.

Zachary Green has heard the comparisons, oh, a few times before. Nearly as often as he stampedes through defenses like a runaway rodeo bull.
"People come up to me all the time, classmates at school or fans at games, and say, 'Hey, you remind me of Earl Campbell,' " Green recounts with a smile. "My dad says the same thing all the time."
It's all good to be likened to Campbell, the former NFL star running back whose tackle-busting style was powered by thighs as stout as tree trunks.
Then again, Green has done a stellar job of making a name for himself as a prized member of the St. Bonaventure High football team.
Since he arrived on campus two years ago — transferring from Cathedral High before the start of his junior year — Green has become a key cog in the Seraphs offense and one of the premier running backs in Southern California.
As an 11th-grader a year ago, he teamed with Shaun Wick to form arguably the region's top running back tandem while notching 1,050 yards, 12 touchdowns and a yards-per-carry average of 6.8.
He also grabbed 13 pass receptions for 228 yards and four touchdowns.
This season, with Wick graduated, Green becomes the feature back and the prime-time option for an offense that starts sophomore Ricky Town at quarterback.
The sturdy Green, who measures in at 5 foot 10 and 217 pounds, is harder to tackle than an avalanche. He appears ready, willing and able to assume the workhorse role in 2012.
Only the Seraphs team captain is hardly greedy. As usual, he takes a team-first approach.
"I'd love to carry the football 20 times a game, but this team has a lot of weapons," he said. "Ricky Town is a great quarterback and he's going to play like it this year. As far as I'm concerned, I'll do whatever it takes to help the team and achieve our goals, and that's to win the Marmonte League and CIF championship."
Green, who has committed to the University of Arizona, toted the football a modest nine times for 90 yards in the 48-0 victory over Garfield in the season opener. Against highly touted Centennial-Corona on Friday night at Moorpark College, he got his wish for a heavy workload, and responded.
Green racked up 164 yards and one touchdowns in 32 carries to help spark a 40-35 victory.
St. Bonaventure coach Todd Therrien knows what he has in Green, and vows not to over extend his No. 1 running back.
"It's a long season," said Therrien. "We've got a lot of football to play, and we'll need him fresh for the stretch. Our preference is to have a 1-2 punch at running back again this year, and it could be (sophomore) Shumon Jones in that role. If not, we've got other guys. I don't want Zach Green to carry the whole load."
Of course, there might be nights, like Friday's contest against Centennial-Corona when that exactly is what is needed from Green. Say, against top-ranked Santa Margarita in Week 4 or vs. defending Marmonte League and section champion Westlake in Week 5?
"He's certainly capable of doing that," Therrien said.
Green, for his part, would relish extended touches on Friday nights.
"I think I'm definitely one of those backs who gets better with each carry," he said. "Once you get into a rythym, you can't just feel it going your way."
With his lower-body strength and thickly muscled legs, Green can certainly emulate the bullish Campbell on the football field. Off the field, he's more like Mother Teresa. You know, everybody's friend and role model.
"As a senior, I'm trying to be a team leader this season," he said. "I want to be there for everybody, try to pick everybody up. We have high goals this season, and we really need to pull together to make it happen."
Green began his prep career at Cathedral High, but sought a transfer to make the daily grind easier for his dad.
Roger Green was making arduous commutes from the family home in Santa Clarita to Cathedral to his job. Relocating to Camarillo brought him closer to work and his son's new school.
Once Green made the switch, he said it was apparent he belonged.
"It struck me right away that it's all about family at this school," he said. "Everybody goes out of there way to make you feel welcome."
The closeness is amplified on the football team, where summer practices include overnight sessions to build team unity.
"It's set up so we all sleep in the gym," he said. "There's nothing that builds unity like that. We all know we're in this together."
Green completed a successful offseason by accepting a scholarship offer to Pac-12 member Arizona.
With his immediate future secured, the focus is on substantial goals for his high school team. The Seraphs last won a CIF-SS championship in 2008. The last three seasons have ended in the playoff semifinals.
The challenge escalates this season with the Marmonte League now competing in the stacked Pac-5 Division playoffs.
"We believe we have the talent to win a championship," he said. "We just have to be focused on winning as a team and improving every week. I think we all look forward to the challenge."

In order to reduce the effects of climate change and prepare for the decline of the oil-age, European regions have a key role to play in promoting, developing and implementing renewable energy sources (RES) combined with energy efficiency strategies to help resolve the energy impasse.
The MORE4NRG partnership will address these interrelated issues at interregional level. The project brings together 12 partners from all over Europe; 11 regions and the Assembly of European Regions (AER). The partnership includes regions with more and less advanced strategies and action plans, with great varieties in approach and extent to which they have set specific targets. Interregional exchange of experience enables all of them to improve their sustainable energy strategies. It will help the less advanced regions to speed up their development. The partners will compile their experience in a toolkit for regional energy strategies, including tools for measuring progress in achieving sustainable energy targets.

The Lavender Lover's Handbook: The 100 Most Beautiful and Fragrant Varieties for Growing, Crafting, and Cooking
With its intoxicating scent, gorgeous wands of purple flowers, and silvery foliage, lavender is one of the most sought-after plants. But the horticultural reasons for choosing lavender go far beyond its beauty. Lavender attracts beneficial insects, requires little water once established, and is deer resistant.

Gardeners love this time of year for planning the next season's projects. January offers time to peruse the seed catalogues and check the library shelves for new titles missed during the last gardening season. For the beginning grower or anyone looking to expand their lavender selection, the Lavender Lover's Handbook answers all the questions and provides great photographs - you can almost reach out and touch the lavender!

I always thought lavender was lavender. I didn't realize there were hundreds of varieties. I suppose I should have known this since there is no such thing as a singular plant type but it rather surprised me to know that there was so much variety in lavender.

The home gardener or the serious commercial grower
Recommended to Susan by:

As a lavender grower for more than 10 years, you would think I have all the answers. Not true. This book reminds me of why an investment in additional education gives a return beyond the money. Sarah's book reflects her love of lavender and her generosity in sharing her wealth of knowledge. The bonus in this book is the top 100 varieties. Lists like this make it so much easier to choose the lavender that will work best for your goals for the flowers, whether for crafting or culinary delights.
Excellent book on growing lavender. Very good photos of many different species and cultivars with enough information on each to determine which would be best for one's particular needs. Also excellent information on how best to grow and care for the plants. I did not do more than skim the chapters on how to use lavender as an herb, but if I wanted that information, it appeared as informative as the gardening info. Highly recommended for those who wish to add lavender to a garden.
I absolutely loved The Lavender Lover's Handbook. The photographs are beautiful. It has information on how to grow Lavender, flower and foliage color, bloom frequency and hardiness on 100 varieties. The book includes the author's top picks. She really knows her Lavenders. Also included is a section on cooking with Lavender and crafting. This will definitely be my "go to" book for Lavender. If you love Lavender I highly recommend this book.

text: By the prehistoric program's fifth year, Pebbles (born in the third) and Bamm-Bamm (adopted in the fourth) can walk, but they can't yet talk--although they sure can babble. Well, who needs talking toddlers when your son is the strongest in the world? In the season premiere ("Hop Happy"), Barney Rubble (Mel Blanc, sounding a lot like Dustin Hoffman) decides to purchase a pet for the powerful kid. After all, the Flintstones have Dino, and there's only so much of the purple pup to go around, so he brings home a "hopparoo" named Hoppy. Another fifth season highlight is "Monster Fred," in which Flintstone (Alan Reed) is bopped on the noggin with a bowling ball. Barney takes him to a Dr. Frankenstone who switches his personality with Dino's. Then he switches Fred's with Barney's--and that's just to start. There are a number of other monster movie/television show parodies. In "A Haunted House is Not a Home," Giggles Flintstone names Fred his sole heir--if he'll spend a night in his eccentric uncle's spooky mansion. Then in "The Gruesomes," diminutive Weirdly and willowy spouse Creepella move in next door. Heck, they even have their own TV show. As usual, the pop culture references and goofy puns are half the fun, as when Fred refers to a certain mop-topped quartet as "The Bagels." Several episodes later, the Stone Age band are introduced as "The Four Insects." Their specialty? Why, "bug music," of course. Then there's the time Fred and Barney appear, as a ventriloquist and his dummy, on "The Ed Sullystone Show" ("Itty Bitty Freddy") or when they find themselves in the middle of a real-life "Jay Bondrock" movie ("Dr. Sinister"). This four-DVD boxed set features all 26 episodes from the 1964-1965 season--each one "a page right out of history!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Blog » Time Is On My Side
Time Is On My Side
Like most of you, I've been thinking about how to improve my business this year. I've spent the last 19 months working on a content marketing project designed to help people find mining jobs and other careers in the Australian resources industry. I'm still working on that gig but I'm turning my attention back to my own business – and my own blog. I know it's essential to make sure every minute of my day is productive. One area I've been working on improving is my record keeping. Sound boring? I thought so too until I discovered improvements in the amount I'm invoicing clients.
Sun Dial by Khirol Amir, on Flickr
Here's the issue
As a freelance copywriter, I want to spend as much time writing as possible. I'm happiest when I have a document open on my laptop and I'm trying to get words arranged on my screen in the right order. I've always tried to avoid dealing with numbers - spreadsheets, accounting packages, software. Not only does it take away valuable writing time, it makes my head throb. But this 'numbers avoidance behavior' (NAB) cheats me out of billable hours because I'm never sure exactly how much time I've spent on a piece of work. It's no coincidence I always propose 'fixed price' projects.
Addressing NAB
While complaining about my plight, a friend told me about 88 Miles. I've used online time tracking tools in the past without much success. They tend to be fiddly and unreliable. My work schedule never seems to fit with the system settings of the product making the reporting features relatively useless. She assured me I would have a different experience with 88 Miles. She lured me in with the tip that it's a product made in Australia and extremely affordable.
The scoop
I've been using 88 Miles for two months and have fallen in love with it. The software is extremely easy to use. (I know; they all are.) I haven't had a single instance of the software being 'down' or sluggish. The time tracking allows me to add notes for every entry which is incredibly useful at the end of the month when I wonder what I've been doing with my time. It's also given me insight into how much time I'm actually spending writing. It's more than I thought – and more than I was billing.
Why it works for freelancers
The reporting feature is fluid – I decide what the date parameters are for a specific project or task. I love the 'on-demand' reporting that tells me at a glance how much time I've spent. You can set up tags to help you filter your project work even further. It's all pretty fab. I haven't used the budgeting feature yet but you can get the product to let you know when you've gone over budget on a project or task. For a NABber like me, I find it very intuitive and appreciate that I can download my data into a number of different formats.
Thank goodness for small miracles
It's affordable, for sure. A single user pays $5 Australian a month. You get ALL the functionality of the product for that price so you're not hassled with constant "Upgrade to the Pro version" messages. If you bill less than 40 hours a month, you can use it free of charge, month after month.
I recommend 88 Miles to any freelancer or small business. It's ideal for copywriters but it would work well for any creative profession. It's improved my business and given me more time to write. What's not to love about that?
How do you keep track of your time?
Join me at Content Marketing World – Sydney in March. I'm conducting a Content Marketing 101 workshop and will be attending ever second of conference. It's set to be the biggest content marketing event in the Southern Hemisphere with Joe Pulizzi and the gang from the Content Marketing Institute coming 'Down Under'.

Hi Heather,
Freelancers, in particular, are guilty of giving too much of their time away. It's all too easy to do a thumb suck on estimating only to find out after the project is over you've probably given your client the deal of the century. It's always those clients that come back, as well, wanting the same good deal. A little old-fashioned time keeping can solve a lot of problems.
Thanks so much for stopping by.Posted by Sarah Mitchell, 31/01/2013 9:12am (10 months ago)
Thanks for sharing this with the BizSugar community. If you don't know how much time you're spending on projects, you don't know what your time is worth. That's a huge problem because it could turn out your business is unsustainable or that it will become unsustainable over time if you don't carefully keep track. Figure out not only the time you are putting in but what else you could be doing with that time and then figure out whether the compensation is worth the opportunity cost.Posted by Heather Stone, 29/01/2013 7:56am (10 months ago)
Thank you, Scott. Once I get my new website up and running, I'll be cooking with gas!
