"A lot of people who don't like this trend have in their minds the way it used to be," said Snyder. "They think that's how it should be."
If the low-cost model becomes the standard for success, Snyder warns, other airlines seeking profits will follow, triggering a "race to the bottom," as every airline tries to "slash and burn costs and do everything they can to make more money by cutting back. I think that would be really unfortunate."
Denver-based Frontier Airlines "is the hope for the future," said Snyder. "They're trying to become a low-cost carrier, but they have more amenities on board, although you do have to pay for them, such as live TV and extra legroom. They're trying to offer a bit more to people."
Expect more air passengers to demand Wi-Fi and personalized entertainment choices in the coming years. Airlines may provide access to movies stored on a digital media server aboard the aircraft, or, a third-party website where passengers can watch video now or later after they de-plane. Power outlets for personal devices ought to become standard on all passenger seats, say experts, not just in first class.
But some choices, such as seating, shouldn't be limited to all or nothing. Regular carriers, say analysts, should offer more "in-between choices," like Delta's Economy Comfort or United's Economy Plus, with more legroom and other amenities for a few dollars extra.
The coming 10 years will also affect airports. Some larger markets are developing additional airports which will ease traffic congestion. But smaller cities may be at risk. Many regional airlines may abandon some small towns, as tiny airports get squeezed by rising fuel prices and shrinking profits.
What can pilots expect? Changes in federal rules will require additional and more expensive training for new pilots, many of whom will earn a starting salary of about $20,000 a year, said Miller. Experts fear the result will be a temporary shortage of airline pilots, which might force airlines to take on the cost of pilot training. That expense likely would be passed on to consumers.
New equipment
On the bright side, the coming decade will bring more fuel efficient aircraft. Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner started U.S. routes this month.
Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier's much anticipated CSeries boasts a variable speed, multi-gear engine that aims to save 20% more fuel than its competitors. The first CSeries plane is expected to begin service in 2014.
But what about a little further down the road? At NASA, experts asked a handful of top aircraft designers for their ideas on green airplanes of the future.
Firms like Lockheed Martin offered cool box-shaped wing designs while Boeing and Northrop Grumman played with fascinating "flying wings." Although the NASA program was really just an idea-sharing brainstorming project, some of these futuristic design ideas could very well make the jump to reality by 2025 NASA said, if economic conditions allow.
Whether fuel savings from efficient airliners will be passed on to consumers in the next 10 years depends on a lot of factors. It's possible, said experts, as long as passenger traffic is high and fuel prices are stable.
Letting go of the wheel
California and Nevada have passed laws authorizing driverless or self-driving vehicles, signaling the beginning of a new era.
These computer-controlled cars and trucks are coming, whether or not we feel comfortable about it. The idea is to allow computers to coordinate the safest and most efficient speed and route for each car, thereby reducing wrecks and traffic jams. Nevada and California require the cars to have a human behind the wheel who can take control of the vehicle at any time.
In five years or less, non-experimental self-driving cars are expected to hit California's public roads, says driverless car developer Google. Computer-coordinated vehicles could help cut the estimated 4.2 billion hours Americans spend each year stuck in traffic, according to the society of engineers. All that time costs $710 per driver.
Volvo is working with the European Union on what it calls Road Trains, several self-driving cars connected and coordinated by a wireless signal from a lead vehicle, which is driven by a human. The idea aims to cut highway congestion and save fuel. Bottom line: fewer traffic jams, less pollution, cheaper travel. Road Trains could hit Europe's highways as soon as 2022, according to the European Union.
For Volvo scientist Jonas Ekmark, the driverless era began when he was testing the Road Train. He remembers what it felt like the first time he took his hands off the wheel, effectively putting a computer in the driver's seat.
"That was really a strange experience," Ekmark recalled with a chuckle. "I let go and then after 30 seconds I was like, 'and now what?'"

Predictably, there's a lot of media hoopla circulating about the imminent Royal Mail flotation, but scant actual analysis about whether or not it will be at an attractive valuation.
ExpectingValue has shared his thoughts here: http://is.gd/ePo1l1
I'm just going to look at some numbers. Royal Mail has 1bn shares in issue (no new Ordinary Shares are to be issued under the Offer, according to note E.6), of which it will sell between 401m – 521.7m shares in the £2.60-£3.30 price range. The whole company post flotation will therefore be worth £3.3b, assuming that the upper price range applies.
Looking at the short prospectus (PDF: http://is.gd/EG5k2v), and sticking my fingers in the air, it has revenues of around £8.8b, and an EBITDA of around £700m. That puts them on a PSR of 0.38, and an price to EBITDA of 4.7. Looks cheap. As one analyst put it, "they're priced to go".
It is expected that they will yield 6.1% – 7.7% – way in excess of current market yields.
They'll be a lot of political incentive to ensure that this flotation succeed.
Conclusion: stag 'em

6.1%-7.7% yield seems ludicrous to me when profits are tight around 3%-5%. My best dividend stock is running at 7.84% first payment 6 Oct 2013. This took me hours of sifting out on dividend investor.com, but once announced the company has to pay it out. However future dividends are not guaranteed as you know. My guess is that the yield will be purposely set high to encourage a possible over subscription (to make it look good) and that would initially tend to put the share price up in my book. A good marketing exercise which should work well. I expect an initial positive price rise and after the dust has settled the price will drop because there will be strong competition from E-Mails and other companies that will try and undercut the Royal Mail prices.I know there are rules for competing with Royal Mail but someone can always find a way round them.I remember taking mt car fore its MOT with a cracked windscreen running into the wiper arc.The remedy was simple, I cut an inch off the wiper blade so that the crack did not go into the wiper arc.I followed the rules and got the MOT! Wireless communication is on the up all the time. People are looking at ways to save money. "Stag em" seems good to me.I would be cautious after the IPO too. I cannot see that sort of yield being sustained.Things are changing.........remember records, tapes, cd;s and now micro chips on your key ring (probably from ARM Holdings) Why do we need letters in the future for? Time will tell Cheers from Lightningtiger & thanks to the 700 club. |

My Twitter feed today is suggesting a price at 300-330p (original range was 260p-330p), suggesting that the Govt is trying to get the best return for itself possible while still pricing it to go up short term. The Times online edition (subscription required but by a news search you can see the headline) suggests an opening day price that "may reach 450p". I don't subscribe so can't comment on the article or how they come to that conclusion. That's ambitious, but possible even in these markets I suppose. The one immediate danger is the overhang from the US budget and debt talks that will reach its decision point in the week after this float. Still, if it were to get to 450 on the first day, there's plenty of room for any sell off if the markets tank on a potential US debt default. |

Trying to read all the prospectus is gobbling up too much of my time BUT in for nothing regards costs, no stamp duty helps & deals in round £1000s so I am aware of. So a profit is not a profit until it is made. I would expect the bid/offer spread to be minimal because of sheer volume so at least 2 savings there, although small. Still think it will be over subscribed. If it does this should help to drive the price up .I agree on the parcel side but still not got the same potential as ASOS selling to a global market. US debt is a time bomb waiting to happen the US people are rightly getting concerned with it. You cannot keep on increasing debt. Anyway it goes on my 52 weeks High hit list for now. It has taken me a long time to figure out where it was as it is only my4th day of using Stockopedia. At least I have got a good hit list now to work on, must add BLUR to it if it fits Cheers now Lightningtiger & thanks to the 700 club |

Am i right in thinking if just 5M investors go for it each will only pick up 100 shares.? |

lightningtiger | 6th Oct | 11 of 42 | ||
From Hargreaves Lansdown minimum investment is £750 and not £1000 as I thought and not number of shares. See the sight for further details. I have since put BLUR on my hit list and this for me is going to take priority, It is certainly living up to its name, and lets not forget CAMB in the car market, looks good to me! |

Thank you Tournesol for bringing it to my attention re advertising. I can only assume it is my club & not one of my brokers mentioned. But having said that there is no report on my blog 9 about it. I have tried to edit them out without any success. We all make mistakes.Please forgive me. It was done in good faith to help people. Can someone help me to sort it out. This sight is still a learning curve for me. After spending time with this Stocopedia site for the last few days and looking at the %age gains today Globo comes up at 8% but no mention of Clingen ,one of my holdings +11% today. But on another hit list of mine up comes GWP at + 50.5% today another breakthrough in clinical trials with sativex (hope this is OK to mention this.) GWP seems to have all the dots green on the Stockopedia screen. This emphasises a good illustration of what a company is worth in one day 42% more. Is it too late for this one? It certainly has good potential in my book.With Royal Mail now coming closer it looks as though it will be oversubscribed and the big institutions applying for millions of shares on the antissipation of applications being scaled back. I hope it will not be like Last minuite dot com. with us being left with a mear handful of shares left.I will be interested in seeing the Stockopedia screen of Royal Mail in due course.

News is that the institutions have put in for £30 billion worth of shares. That's almost 10 times what the opening price market cap was likely to be. The institutions know it will be scaled back so they obviously went overboard. Word is the retail investor will get their "fair share", whatever that means. |

There is an article in The Times this morning heaaded "Vince Cable selling Royal mail on the cheap" which says "Many small investors....will probably be alloted £750 each at most". I think that there will be a lot of upset small investors if the allocation is so small, particularly those that may have liquidated other holdings to free up cash to invest. |

As others have said priced to put a smile on lots of PIs faces on first day of trading. Priced like there is a general election next year. Priced so that when HMG wants to dump their big bank holdings there are plenty of punters willing to pick them up too. |

Looks to me another Last minute. com scenario to me all over again. Half a loaf is better than none. Stag them & move on. Plenty more fish in the sea. At 7x oversubscribed it should help push the price up to start with. I still will be looking for that £133million dividend that is guaranteed. This could be set purposely high to make it a success. Good selling ploy. Dividends are not guaranteed until they are declared. The best I could find is 7.84% paid last Monday & having to wait 6 months for the for the other half of it. This was better than a cash ISA for my wife who is cautious. I spent a lot of time researching for this. Please note no letter with a cheque but electronic money transfer. One less letter to send. A little story with guarantees was when I bought a battery for the car. This came with a choice of 1, 3, or 5year guarantee. The very next day in pouring rain at night I braked & everything went dead. I took the battery back to the garage the next day who offered to replace it. I enquired where the manufacturer was & went to see them because I wanted to know why a brand new battery had failed. They told me sometimes an air bubble gets in the lead joining the cells together & proceeded to apply heat lamps & take the top off, and there it was the lead link had blown just like a fuse. He fitted a new link and tested the battery which produced a huge spark back to life again. I enquired about the guarantees and was told we make all the batteries the same. They get different labels put on but they are all the same. We simply charge more money for the 3year guarantee and again more for the 5 year guarantee to cover any that fail. So I think they have purposely set the dividend high to make Royal Mail a success & do not forget we will all pay more for the word Royal. Cheers from Lightningtiger |

In reply to lightningtiger, post #19 Quite what manufacturer warranties have to do with the Royal Mail IPO I will never know. |
| Link | Share |
lightningtiger | 10th Oct | 21 of 42 | ||
The guarantee is a desire factor that makes you want to buy. A guaranteed dividend looks good even too good to be true perhaps at over 7% with Royal Mail. The point I am making is that the battery is only worth the lower price. If you want the guarantee you pay extra for it. Royal Mail are giving over 7%. Certainly when you compare bank/building society interest at around 1%-1.5% with a 7% dividend of course people will go for it. The proof is it has been oversubscribed and this huge dividend is extremely attractive. The thing that remains is how long will it be paid out for? £33million a year compounded at over 7% per year compound interest is in this current climate is unsustainable unless the company can afford to do it. It does not stack up to me. Hopefully most of us running our portfolios are able to cash out 7% a year or more if we want to, but only if the portfolio is running at way over that figure constantly sustains it. This is why I am trying Stockopedia, to get an extra few %. I noticed THAL & CLIN in my portfolio are currently up 6.97% & 4.35% today. Cheers from Lightningtiger |

The History of the Collection
The Collection and its history are inseparably linked with the development of the Academy as well as the arts and art politics of the Habsburg monarchy, with approaches ranging from the state's dominant position in the 18th century and the beginnings of the middle classes' responsibility in the 19th century to the state's withdrawal in the 21st century.
The 18th-century holdings of the Collection reflect the various stages of the Academy's development from Peter Strudel's private initiative of 1688, which was aimed at establishing an Italian studio academy, to the resumption of teaching activities in 1725, which had been interrupted for eleven years after Strudel's death and were now taken up again by Kammermaler Jacob van Schuppen and his successor Martin van Meytens, Empress Maria Theresia's Swedish court painter.
The inventory taken after van Schuppan's death in 1751 and Anton Weinkopf's descriptions from 1783 and 1790 constitute the earliest evidence of what the Collection comprised. The first real inventory, however, dates from 1792, when Chancellor Count Wenzel Kaunitz von Rietberg, one of the most important patrons of art and collectors of the era, reorganized the Academy and united the various special schools. While the Collection comprised the holdings of Schmutzer's Engravers Academy - admission pieces, nudes, competition works, studies, and models by students, important graduates, and professors of the different schools - in its beginnings, it was deliberately extended by way of commissions and acquisitions under Kaunitz. "Carelessness" called for a further inventory, which was agreed upon in 1775. After parts of it had been finished in 1790, it was finally completed in 1798 after the protectorate had been conferred upon Count Johann Philipp Cobenzl. At that time, the holdings of the various schools totaled 1,242 drawings, 670 prints, and 88 models, which clearly illustrates the institution's function as a teaching tool. The next inventory, this time an only summarizing list, dates from 1810; it was taken after Count Klemens Lothar Wenzel Metternich-Winneburg-Ochsenhausen had been elected new protector of the Academy.
Comprising a total of 6,500 drawings and 12,000 prints, seven important donations within the last twenty years before the Revolution of 1848 marked the most important change of the institution, transforming it from a teaching instrument into the second largest graphic collection of the Habsburg Monarchy after the Albertina. After 1850, regular acquisitions were made by the responsible ministries which included significant groups of works such as drawings of German and Austrian Romanticism. After having been moved to the new building by Theophil Hansen on Schillerplatz - its ceremonial opening took place in 1877 - the holdings of the institution were presented separately in a Picture Gallery ("Gemäldegalerie"), a Sculpture Gallery ("Glyptothek"), and a Graphic Collection ("Kupferstichkabinett").
During the 20th century, the Collection grew mainly through donations from former students and professors and specific purchases aimed at completing its holdings. Since 1996, an annual donation from the Society of Friends of the Fine Arts made it possible to build up a collection of young contemporary art focussing on works by graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

New hand tools often get overshadowed by the excitement and buzz surrounding the latest cordless tools and shop machinery. Yet these are the tools that foster the most sentimental and personal connections with their users – the hammer you swear was designed for your own grip, the block plane that feels like an extension of your hand, the combination square that's like a trusted friend. Go ahead and ask some pros about their personal favorites. You're far more likely to hear stories about a folding rule – or a hand saw or a smoothing plane – passed down from previous generations than you are to hear anyone wax poetic about a compressor, drill, or circ saw.
We feel the same way, which is why we've carefully selected more than 50 hand tools to share with you this issue. This diverse collection of tools represents the next generation of designs, with features that will help you carry on your own legacy of quality and provide continued enjoyment in your particular trade.

Diabetes is a major global health problem. In the USA alone there are some 25.8 million people living with the disease. Diabetes costs the US healthcare system more than $200 billion dollars each year. It's a problem that is likely to further explode in the next few years. Consequently new treatments are of the upmost importance.
There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and 2. The hormone insulin is a major player in the development of the disease. Insulin has an important role in the body and works alongside glucagon to regulate blood sugar. The most common is type of diabetes is type 2 (90-95% of cases). It is caused by insulin insensitivity and eventual loss of insulin production in the pancreas.
Diabetes is highly related to stress. New research has discovered a key molecule that works to amplify this stress early on the diabetes process. This molecule is called thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP). It is central to the inflammation process and leads to the death of insulin secreting B cells in the pancreas.
B cells can be thought of as the factories of the pancreas producing vast amounts of insulin every minute. Great fact:
"There are a billion or so beta cells in the average healthy pancreas. These cells will make more copies of insulin every year than there are grains of sand on every beach and in every desert in the world"
B cells and every other cell rely on an organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This organelle works to package, tag and dispatch all the proteins, including insulin, from the cell. Diabetes comes about when the ER becomes stressed and faulty (maybe due to the need to overproduce insulin). When this occurs proteins are not packaged properly and accumulate within the B cell. The body's response to this malfunction is drastic; it effectively destroys the cell. It does this by activating the interlukin-1 (IL-1) pathway and therefore inducing apoptosis.
This in its self is not as bad as it sounds, because our bodies have B cells in reserve. However when it does occur, our B cells will have to work harder and become more stressed. Therefore the problem propagates and the chance of developing diabetes is increased.
TXNIP is involved in the exacerbation of the IL-1 pathway and cell apoptosis. Current studies are looking into IL-1 targeting, however new research has shown that TXNIP is a very central player in the stimulation of the IL-1 pathway. Therefore if you remove TXNIP from the equation you will save B-cells from apoptosis and in theory protect the body form developing diabetes. This has been shown by the researchers to occur in mouse models. Consequently this idea is being translated and tested in up coming clinical trails. The hope is that by shutting down TXNIP we will prevent cell stress and hopefully delay or stop the onset of diabetes. However my question is surely TXNIP has a natural role in the body, by shutting it off are we not in danger of loosing its benefits? What do you think about this new development?

PDP is not the newest designer drug or texting acronym. No, it's the hip way to name-drop Poi Dog Pondering, the cross-cultural band that flirted briefly with mainstream success in the 1990s and has managed to stick around without it. Why? Because there are never enough party bands on tour when you need one, and for PDP, it's been a nonstop musical party for 25 years. Formed in Hawaii in 1987, the band's tropical, eclectic style fit nicely within the mainland's diverse musicality (first Austin, then Chicago), and aspects of folk, rock, blues, and electronic music filled in the holes in the group's world-beat base. With something for everyone (perhaps due to consistent lineup changes), PDP secured a loyal following behind such quirky radio-ready wonders as "Jackass Ginger"— an Hawaiian swimming... More >>>

The MLB season starts tonight with the Mariners and A's. There was a busy offseason, including the Mariners trading Pineda for Montero. We are finally on track to do something! 82 wins here we come!
How does everybody think their team will perform? Please Joe, don't brag too much about the Angels. I might throw up.

I'm scanning a whole stack of vital records. How should I save them? Should I scan and save them as photos (.jpg or .png)? Of should I scan and save them as documents (.pdf or .rtf)? I know they'll be much smaller files if I scan them as documents, but I have plenty of storage space so I'm not concerned about file size. What I am concerned about it quality, and which way is the best way to digital preserve these vital records for prosperity. Any advice will be welcomed. Thanks.
I'm done and out of this. You appear to have a lot of time on your hands and want to use it to argue.
Thanks, Kate. I agree with you. Now that you've confirmed what I was taught, I will continue to scan my documents as .pdf files. But instead of also scanning and saving them as .png files, I will take your advice and use .tiff instead.
Hi Chris,
Perhaps you would like to join Erin Bradford this evening for her chat, the last of her series about Preservation: Tools and Resources. She'll be available for questions on the other topics she talked about as well, including her chat on preserving digital media which she did last week, which may address some of your questions. Then, you are invited to stay in the room for general chat. We'd love to meet you. Here's the link to the chat topics:
Melinda has a great suggestion. Erin is really informative and always answers questions after her chat.

School plays, summer make-believe, party hats; I LOVE IT ALL!! Here are some dollar store foam crowns I dressed up with Plaid paints and Mod Podge!
I started with neon tags that also came from the dollar store. You can sponge or brush on neon Apple Barrel paints to add more color and texture. For a little sparkle, brush a coat of Sparkle Mod Podge over the painted tags.
Glue the pieces together in layers with Mod Podge. It's fun to cut new shapes or slits in the paper tags with scissors too.
Decorate the foam crowns with gems and attach them with Mod Podge. You can leave the crown like this or....
Sponge paint it with gold FolkArt Paint.
I added the flower pieces, feather and ribbon trim to the crowns with cool temp hot glue. These crowns are ready to rule the back yard and maybe even the world!
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Hopefully it was craftastic, and you got to create something with your kids. If not, no worries it's a brand new week and there is no time like the present to begin a new project. In case it slipped your mind several people are honoring teachers this week, by giving them a teacher's appreciation gift.
Instead of buying something, why not make something? Homemade gifts are the best, and can really help brighten up someone's day. If you are stumped on what to make, may we suggest this adorable pencil holder? This project is so easy to make, and it is functional.
Help your little ones make this project for their favorite teacher. All you will need is a little Mod Podge, and some scrapbook paper. To see the step-by-step instructions on how to make this project, visit the blog Simply Kierste. Enjoy!

Russian Dreams
posted on: 10.14.2011
Today I realized I hadn't posted much on our Russian Trip!
a crying shame.
I miss Russia, the borsch, gold everywhere, the art, my baby bear, trying to pry a smile out of someone, and our little guide who had a pet rat to go home to at night.
So let's live through that again.
Shall we?
{my limp hand says it all. "please don't eat me. or give me scabbies. or some bear russian disease}
{i think i need a little more borsch to look like these doll babies}
We're off to pick out JB some suits.
I'm excited... husband looks gooood in suits.
oh and if you have the opportunity to go to Russia.
...i'm guest posting over on eyes/ears/mouth+lens here!

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
Nice surprise to find these in my monthly box, and I promptly replaced the laces in my normal work shoes. Boy do they garner attention! No complaints about being too loud (orange laces on black shoes!) but lots of comments about how cool and different they look.
Works for me!
I can't say I was in the market to find colorful shoelaces but after trying out the pink ones in my birchbox (very much a style risk) and got some compliments on them I decided to keep it going.
The orange and blue ones I've used with my grey dress shoes - both have looked pretty good. Haven't used the green ones yet.
For October I switched the orange ones out for my black wingtips for a bit of a more fun look.
If you're looking for a subtle way to be unique, especially in a corporate environment where khakis and button downs/polos are the norm, these will do the trick.
Its a very bright shoe lace and it grabs attention. Its very odd for me to have a conversation starter that is a shoe lace. I like it. It gets the job done and gets me noticed.

Lori emailed this to me:
I "rescued" a small brown stuffed dog (plush) out of the Applause Fountain last night. Mrs. Koch called me; she tried to get it out with a mop, but it was not long enough (because the dog was next to the hands in the center of the fountain) so I had to bring a long telescoping pole from the water park.
The young boy (about 12 years old) who'd lost the dog thought it was the coolest dog now since it had been swimming. It was the first rescue of the season!
Lori added a side note: I thought Mrs. Koch said there was "poop" in the fountain; my 2-way radio cut out when she said "plush" so I misinterpreted it as "poop." I had the hardest time figuring out why the boy was still there and wanted it back!

The Telegram website offers only a sample of the stories our reporters, editors and photographers work hard to get to the public every day.
Monday's full edition of The Weekend Telegram, on the other hand, contains much, much more, from news to opinion to our expanded Sports section.
• A fire in a St. John's subdivision Sunday afternoon damaged five homes, destroying one of them.
The fire happened on Petite Forte Drive, located just west of Kelsey Drive. The St. John's Regional Fire Department received a call from 911 at approximately 1:30 p.m. When trucks arrived at the scene, three homes were on fire, with 50 Petite Forte fully engulfed in flames.
"The roof was burnt off," said shift-Supt. Derek Chafe. "Every room was burning."
• MetroView 2012 Part II: Peter and Ronalda Walsh made a bold move five years ago that some of their friends still question — they left lucrative jobs in Ontario and moved back to Newfoundland when it was still a have-not province.
They say they were waiting for the right time. They now have their ideal home. Their son is involved in activities with good friends and their quality of life is at an all-time high.
"We're living proof that we took the chance at the right time. We have a beautiful home, our son loves school and has great friends. It really worked out. We're probably the happiest we've been in our careers," said Ronalda.
• Repartee: "A quick and witty response," according to the dictionary.
Also something that perhaps doesn't come easy on the podium when you're being presented with your fifth MusicNL award of the night.
St. John's-based synth-pop-rock group Repartee swept the 2012 MusicNL awards Sunday evening, walking away from the gala with five trophies

Comments about Toys R Us 1001325 Imaginarium Connect and Create Rings - 18-Piece:
Two year old can use them easily. Great for imaginative play. One pack is sufficient, but if you want to build things consistent in color, you need two or more packs.

About Me First Time Parent
My 18 month old likes these rings, easy to take apart and put back together, thick plastic makes for easy cleaning, flimsy packaging though. My daughter destroyed the package within a day. All in all I am pleased with this product.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I bought these for my three and five year olds as a Christmas gift. We just pulled them out today. They've been playing for at least two hours non stop wih them. They aren't in the habit f playing with ANY toy that long! I only wish I'd bought two packages instead of one so they would each have their own. The only drawback that I can see to this toy is that since they are hard plastic they are a little more challenging to form into a specific shape, but really it's probably not a drawback because the kids are not complaining at all and they're definitely using their imaginations, building and rebuilding.

Given an offer to join an established company, earning at least a couple of million a year in revenue (under 10 employees) and which is a subsidiary to a multi billion dollar parent company; what is a reasonable amount of equity to expect or be offered?
The project I would be expected to complete is large and complicated and could damage the company significantly it if it goes wrong (A port of their entire codebase).
There has been mention that 10% of the company has been put aside as employee options. How does someone go about determining how much equity is fair?

Maybe someone could come up with a pick tether, like the ones they make to keep you from losing the lens cap to your camera

I found it, and I'm holding it for ransom. Just kidding! Wish I could find one.........
I keep mine in the guitar strings, in the case when not in use. Works every time, simple huh?
I feel your pain. I lost mine in John Hamlett's shop a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, he found it, and I was able to avoid purchasing yet another one. Wasn't so lucky with the previous TAD-1R 60, but I just know that it's in this house somewhere! I feel pretty confident it'll turn up when I eventually move some day.

Time to upgrade to one of these. They are made from meteorites that are 4 billion years old. Only $4,674.00 each.
Sorry for your loss!
I can only imagine the sorrow as I'm bummed that I lost my "good" 89¢ Golden Gate and the bevels were getting worn just right. Idk why but I just loved that pick.
I'm going to order myself a blue chip this week. Excellent picks.
$35 gets a half-gross of Fender Xtra Heavy, too.. then losing one is an 'n/m'.
writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
I did the same thing 2 weeks ago. Pick was in one of those leather pick pouches with the snap. Lost the whole thing! I figure that I won't find it till I buy another one. That's what usually happens.
Sharps/Flats ≠ Accidentals
My condolences for your loss. May time and a $35 debit from your PayPal account sooth your grief.
If you notice, when you lose something and then find it, it will always be in the last place you looked for it! I'm just sayin'!
Grady F5 (#65)

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. I WILL learn to play this thing !(adapted from Coolidge)
The rug in my home office/cave where I practice is black/brick/orange/rust colored leaves and flowers. I can drop a BC on it and look for an hour before I see it.
My condolences....like any valuable asset, they (assuming you have more than one) should be kept separately so losing one doesn't wipe you out. But terzinator is right about looking for them: for $35, you'd think Matt could put some glitter in the material - something to help us see them
2012 Collings MT
2012 Weber Bitterroot

I'm thinking if RFID chips get small enough, he could offer them as an option and maybe you could track your BC on your iphone.
Those chips above are inside the "D" mint mark on a penny.
He's right about those rfid chips.
I was thinking he should get into the "service agreement" business, and sell a replacement contract for an additional $5 with each pick. The TV and electronics guys get rich on those deals, Matthew could prolly make out well.
Striving for mediocrity and perpetually falling short.
those service-agreement contracts might work if he required you to send the unworking pick back!
If he had to send you a new one just for losing yours, well, I'm guessing he'd start to see the flaws in that logic.
I've never lost a BC pick, but I did lose a tortoise shell pick once back in the mid 80's...
Molon Labe
Maybe a serial number should be engraved on each BC or a phone number!
My two favorite pastimes are drinking wine and playing the mandolin but most of my friends would rather hear me drink wine! Adapted from quote by Mark Twain
My dogs have tags with my cell number -- I might also engrave on it "Reward offered".

Thanks for delivering me from the sin of envy towards BC owners
But seriously, any loss is bad and I am sorry for you. OTOH, worse things happen - you did not leave your wallet on the roof of your car at the filling station and drove away, so just be glad.
the world is better off without bad ideas, good ideas are better off without the world

Children that survived were subjected to harsh discipline to control their tendenc
9. Demographic Transition in Europe
Global Problems of Population Growth (MCDB 150)
Prior to the Demographic Transition, fertility in northwestern Europe was controlled by limiting marriage. Marriage was regulated by landowners and the churches, and was not allowed unless a man had accumulated the resources necessary to support a family. Long periods of being landless, a servant, or an apprentice, precluded marriage. Once married, there was no control of fertility. But, only about half of adults were married at any given time, so

Former officer nearly nabs 12 year old girl
By Rachael Samuels
A former Wyoming officer faces charges after attempting to get a 12 year old girl into his van.
The young girl says Kevin Wix approached her in a dark colored minivan and told her he was a cop, even showing her his business card.
He persistently asked her to join him in the van but she refused and walked away.
Troopers called Wix, identified from his DMV photograph, and made arrangements for him to give himself up.
Wix faces charges of impersonating a police officer and attempted unlawful imprisonment.
Source: wdel.com
Ummm.....is there such a thing as attempted kidnapping?
If there is, why hasn't he been charged with that?
I know because nothing happened, there's little else they can charge him with.
But it's not very comforting to think about what he wanted with a 12 year old girl in his van, and that he's facing miniscule charges.

Mozilla Data Breach
A partial database of Mozilla's addons.mozilla.org user accounts were inadvertently left on a publicly accessible server.
A researcher made Mozilla was made aware of this issue via their web bounty program on December 17th and since that time Mozilla has removed the information and yesterday, on December 27th, 2010, contacted those users who were effected.
"We were able to account for every download of the database", Mozilla said in their post. "This issue posed minimal risk to users, however as a precaution we felt we should disclose this issue to people affected and err on the side of disclosure."
Mozilla also noted that current addons.mozilla.org users and accounts are not at risk and this incident didn't impact any of Mozilla's infrastructure.
More information can be found on the Mozilla Security Blog.

Unfortunately, I am starting to come to the sad realization that I may not be able to squat anymore. Hurt my knee a few months ago while squatting. Took 2 months off. Tried going back lightly. Still getting pain =(
This happened with my elbows as I can no longer do skull-crushers. Difference is, Ive found other great Tri exercises and haven't missed a beat.
I'm desperate for some suggestions on what else I can do for legs, without further injuring my knee. I used to have great quads and have definitely lost some mass since the injury. I know the old saying that squats are critical to growth. It sucks not being able to do them anymore. Feels like I am cheating. But at 31 years old, I do not need knee problems.
I know there have got to be other dudes out there with knee problems who still train legs. Just looking for some suggestions on a new routine.
