An 'exceptional' oil find sends shares gushing.
Alas, modern deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has proved to be a nightmare for oil super-major BP (LSE: BP). Meanwhile, in a flashback to the Seventies, it seems that the North Sea is once again the place to be for oil firms.
So far, 2010 has been a terrific year for shareholders in three firms exploring the North Sea off Aberdeen. Shares in EnCore Oil (LSE: EO) have risen 255% so far this year; Nautical Petroleum (LSE: NPE) has enjoyed a 259% rise, and FTSE 250 firm Premier Oil (LSE: PMO) is up a more modest 11% in 2010.
The secret of this success is down to what could be one of the biggest discoveries of oil in recent years: the Catcher fields in the North Sea. The licence for Catcher is shared by partners Premier Oil (35%), Wintershall (UK North Sea) Limited (20%), Agora Oil & Gas (15%), EnCore (15%; also Catcher's operator) and Nautical Petroleum (15%).
Earlier in June, encouraging news about a discovery of light oil at the Catcher well (located in UK Central North Sea block 28/9) sent shares soaring at EnCore Oil, Nautical Petroleum and Premier Oil.
Yesterday, these three companies announced that further drilling at the Catcher East side-track well indicated that this oil find could be much bigger than first thought, with 'Catcher East and Catcher...likely to be part of a single significant oil accumulation'.
Encouraged by these results, the Catcher partners are to drill a further side-track to the south-west of the original Catcher find. Indeed, EnCore's scoping analysis indicates that the entire Catcher field may contain up to 300 million barrels of oil, of which half may be recoverable, making it the biggest North Sea oil find for many years. There are additional prospects nearby that could increase the scale of this find, too.
Similar notices from EnCore and Nautical Petroleum sent their shares shooting skyward. At Monday's market close, EnCore shares had soared 46% to 52p, with Nautical up 23% to 170p. With a market cap of £1.53 billion, shares in Premier Oil moved up just 7% yesterday to 1,266p.
At these prices, EnCore has a market cap of £150 million and Nautical is worth £110 million. Having started 2010 as small-cap tiddlers, these companies have since appeared on the radar screens of institutional investors. Hence, more good news from the Catcher field could spur further share-price leaps. Check out our Oil & Gas board for more discussion about this find and the prospects for all three shares.
On the other hand, Monday was a day that shareholders in Regal Petroleum (LSE: RPT) would rather forget.
Yesterday, Regal admitted that the Ministry of Environmental Protection in the Ukraine had, on environmental concerns, ordered the firm to stop producing gas from its Mekhediviska Golotvshinska and Svyrydivske gas fields.
This suspension order was signed on 30 March, but Regal -- founded by colourful and controversial Romanian-Australian entrepreneur Frank Timis -- claimed not to have received it until 21 May. Although Regal has continued to produce gas from the fields while negotiating with the Ministry, this warning sent Regal's investors rushing for the exit, crashing its shares 29% to 26p.
At yesterday's close, Regal was valued at under £78 million, thanks to its shares falling almost two-thirds (65%) so far in 2010. Oil-sector watchers will recall that Regal was fined £600,000 in 2005 after announcing a huge find at its Kallirachi well in Greece, only to later admit that the well was non-viable. A different management team was in charge of Regal back then.
In summary, investing in small oil firms can be hit or miss -- and for every EnCore, there is a Regal. So, spread your oil investments around and don't be tempted to 'bet the farm' on any oil producer, even a mega-cap such as BP!

by AHS 06 Grad November 13, 2007
A "four star" 9-12 grade high school located in Avon, Indiana. Overcrowded. Somewhat lame. About 12.9% of people found at AHS could be potentially cool. However, good mix of wannabes and posers. Decent amount of goths, Fairly large percentage of wiggers. Most other clicks are represented. Located in a town that used to be mainly rural; now an industrialized suburb. Although there are stores and other various shit everywhere, there's nothing to do. Even though most will agree that the whole "mall" is pretty dumb, many Avon High Schoolers can often be found at the "Metropolis" in Plainfield (a neighboring town) particularly at the Rave (movie theatre, not a club) The considerably small amount of entertainment causes many AHS students to try very hard to be ghetto even though a large amount of them are actually hicks. There have been multiple accounts of sex in the bathroom. Although the football team kinda sucks, the band has won state championships seven years in a row, and this last year, came in second in nationals. They also have a little thing called The Avon Center Stage Performers (ACSP "drama club") which is by far the best part of the school.
"Hey dude, where are you from?"
"Avon High School ."
"Oh....I hear your band's really awesome...and that you theatre program is the best in the world...do you guys have a footbal team?"
"I dunno...I'm always in the cattle pen out back durring the games."

The latest downloadable episode for Mass Effect 2 is called Arrival. It was first revealed last month after a title update for Mass Effect 2. A few trophies were uncovered as well. It was reported that Arrival deals with an earlier Cerberus Network report involving Dr. Kenson. Dr. Kenson and her colleagues were testing dust clouds from around mass relays to determine their age. We now have the first screenshot from Arrival straight from BioWare.
BioWare released this image on its Twitter account earlier today. BioWare promised to reveal another screen shot tomorrow (March 15, 2011) if the tweet is retweeted 1,000 times. The tweet was posted right before 2pm Eastern. Less than 20 minutes afterwards, over 100 people retweeted the picture. At this rate, we'll be getting that screenshot in no time.
The picture features a woman who appears to be held captive. A trophy description for Arrival requires the player to "Rescue Dr. Amanda Kenson without attracting hostile attention." The woman in the picture may be Dr. Kenson.
We'll have to wait and see if Arrival will tie into the events of Mass Effect 3 in any way.
EA is also expected to reveal new information about Mass Effect 3 between this Friday and Monday during the Bratislava Game Expo.

Works well
This review is from: Tripp Lite B170-002-R Parallel IEEE Reversible Automatic Gold Switch
Pros: Works as expected. One of the few that didn't cause communication/junk output issues with my printers.
Cons: None so far - I bought 3 of these and all have worked great in areas that run 24/7
Other Thoughts: If you are using this to connect 2 printers to one system you might look at a USB-Parallel cable since it will save you money compared to this. If you are connecting 2 systems to one printer and LPT is your only option then this should work out great. Just remember to to get the DB25 Male-Male cables.

This review is from: Tripp Lite B170-002-R Parallel IEEE Reversible Automatic Gold Switch
Pros: We bought this so we didn't have to replace our barcode and receipt printers. Which i guess worked. Nice button? Does the job.
Cons: The parallel is in lousy positions. If you have to manually switch there is never a good place to put this. No automatic for two printer to one comp. Duh! The way it is setup you have to push twice to get to stuff. If you leave it on wtih the both lights on feature (creates a printer pool) it really messes up your printers. Have to restart everything when an employee acidentally does it.
Other Thoughts: Save the Money and buy a usb printer. Get updated. I also had to buy a cable to connect computer to printer.

UK Defence Ministry to Release Surplus Radio Spectrum
Published on: 17th Dec 2012
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
By: Ian Mansfield
The UK's Ministry of Defence is planning to auction some of its radio spectrum in the first direct sale of its kind by a UK government department.
The MoD plans to sell off around 200Mhz of surplus radio spectrum in a deal which could be worth around £1 billion (USD1.6 billion).
The sale will give private operators the chance to buy more spectrum to support the introduction of 4G services across the UK. Alternatively the MoD said that the spectrum could be used by fixed line operators to provide wireless access to broadband services.
The spectrum being sold by the MoD is all below 15GHz which is regarded as the most useful and valuable part of the radio spectrum because of its wide range of applications.
Almost half of all spectrum below 15GHz is held by the public sector and is used for a broad range of services including defence, emergency services, transport and science. The MoD holds around three quarters of all publicly-held spectrum and one third of all spectrum below 15GHz.
Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Philip Dunne, said: "We welcome this opportunity to free up much-needed spectrum. We hope that the sale will help drive the roll-out of new generation networks and universal access to broadband, both of which are vital to the UK's prosperity."
The sale follows the announcement made in the Government's 2010 Spending Review that at least 500MHz of public spectrum below 5GHz will be released by 2020 for new mobile communications uses. The spectrum to be sold off is being cleared of military users to contribute towards this target.
Preparations are expected to start at the end of 2013 with the auction completed by the summer of 2014. Ahead of this, the MOD intends to produce an Industry Brochure in early spring 2013 and to host an Industry Day in early summer 2013.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Do you think you're a special person, or that the world would be a better place if you were in charge? You may or may not be right, but a recent study says you're more likely to ascend to a leadership position, if you have a little dash of narcissism in your makeup.
(Photo Credit: Victor1558/freedigitalphotos.net)
The study is called Narcissism and Leadership: A Meta-Analytic Review of Linear and Nonlinear Relationships. Soon to be published in Personnel Psychology, the research evaluates 54 prior studies to determine whether narcissists were more likely to be given position of leadership roles, and how effective they were in those roles once they attained them.
In part, the study found that narcissists were more likely to emerge as leaders.
"Narcissists tend to be extraverted, and that is leading to the positive relationship between narcissism and leader emergence," says Dr. Emily Grijalva, study co-author and University of Illinois psychology professor, in an interview with Psych Central. "But you have to keep in mind that although narcissists are likely to emerge as the group leader, over time, the more negative aspects of narcissism tend to emerge."
Those negative qualities include "being exploitative, arrogant and even tyrannical," -- none of which are "really prototypical of effective leadership," Grijalva says.
The goal, in short, is a moderate amount of narcissism.
"It's helpful to think of narcissism as distributed along a spectrum," writes Rachel Feintzeig in The Wall Street Journal. "On one end, self-doubt isn't a useful characteristic in a leader -- they can look weak or have trouble making decisions, according to Peter Harms, one of the study's authors and a management professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. But individuals on the other end don't take feedback well and can make reckless choices, he says."
To be a good leader, you'll need to balance that self-regard with a touch of humility.

1) Why become certified? Anyone can use The Habit Factor® app and/or book to work with clients for free.
Yes. We recognize many professionals currently use The Habit Factor book/methodology and app with their clients, hence, the desire to create a certified program to ensure those professionals have a thorough understanding of the material. Certification allows professionals to promote the methodology by name and with related, registered trademarks. Additionally, this program guarantees that our certified members can distinguish their work/profession from others by identifying their practice with the Habit Factor logo signature.
2)What is the cost? What are the requirements/qualifications?
Just $300 annual membership.
3) Can I get my money back if I don't like it?

4) Does this make me an affiliate of The Habit Factor?
If you mean will you get commissions on sales of the book or app, the answer is no (at least not at this point anyway). Amazon offers its own affiliate program (for books) and right now we aren't using any method to track or commission sales through iTunes or Android.
5) Does this program constitute a franchise?
No. This is not an offer to franchise, nor is this a partnership. This is a certified professionals program with the intent to help end-users/clients identify which professionals are certified how to effectively use and coach via The Habit Factor's methodology.

Yes. Once again, there is nothing preventing anyone from doing this right now so the idea to to ensure those who are teaching are certified in the material/process.

Yes. That will fall under a different training program but this program is a prerequisite for that one.

Under the terms of the agreement, the certified professional's logo signatures and directory listing validating your signature would not be active/valid without future renewal
11) How difficult is the THF 101 Exam?
Just hard enough to prove you've read the book and have a fundamental/working understanding of the principle lessons behind the methodology.
12) Do I have to read the book?
Yes. It's important you read the book and understand the principles and ideas behind the application and methodology.
13) Where can I see or take the test?

Meera Pal, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – When times are tough, women turn to their heels.
At least that's the finding of a recent social media analysis by IBM.
But, the economy has been in a downturn for so long that heels are on the way down.
"Usually, in an economy downturn, heels go up and stay up — as consumers turn to more flamboyant fashions as a means of fantasy and escape, " Trevor Davis, a consumer products expert with IBM Global Business Services said in a news release.
"This time, something different is happening — perhaps a mood of long term austerity is evolving among consumers sparking a desire to reduce ostentation in everyday settings."
IBM looked at the last 100 years in shoe fashion trends and found that heel heights were at their highest during peak recession times in U.S. history.
During the Great Depression, high-heel pumps and platforms replaced the low-heeled flapper pumps of the 1920s.
During the 1970s oil crisis, platforms made a come-back, reversing the low-heel trend of the 1960s.
And, the low, thick heels of the 1990s "grunge" period were replaced by sky-high stilettos following the dot-com bust of the turn of the century.
Mark Hodges, market strategist with Hodges Capital Management, speculates higher heels may correlate with a woman's desire to feel more confident and look better during down times.
"All the things that beautify a person, men or women, they might take more seriously at a time when all these factors could add up to a job or add up to not having a job," he said.
He added that heel height is not something that "any serious economist or investor would rely on to make an investment decision."
In the past, hemlines, underwear purchases and makeup use have been analyzed as economic indicators. Some economists tracked hemlines — the lower they were the worse the economy.
IBM analyzed billions of social media posts to find a correlation between economic health and women's heel heights.
"It may be women need to buy higher heels because they need to stand above the crowd when times are tough," said Kurt Carlson, associate professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
Based on IBM's analysis, heel height peaked toward the end of 2009, and then started dropping.
"What we have now is a population of people that tends to respond to hard times by being a little bit more flamboyant," Carlson says.
"Essentially, when things get tough you would try to do something to make yourself special."

Riemannian geometry is a branch of mathematics, first defined by Bernhard Riemann in the nineteenth century, which gives a way of describing the geometry of multidimensional objects. It was used by Einstein to describe the geometry of space-time; his Theory of General Relativity would have been impossible without it. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")

TuneIn raises $25M, poaches Google exec Martinez for CFO spot
Streaming music, news and sports service TuneIn has closed a $25 million funding round led by Institutional Venture Partners, with existing investors Sequoia Capital, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Ventures and General Catalyst Partners also participating. The firm has now raised $47 million in total financing to date.
TuneIn offers access to more than 70,000 FM, AM, HD and Internet stations, touting more than 2 million on-demand programs from content partners including CBS Radio Network, NPR and Entercom. The company has also teamed with podcasters like comedian Adam Corolla, pro sports franchises including the New England Patriots and live music festivals like Outside Lands.
TuneIn is available across more than 200 connected devices, offering both free services as well as the TuneIn Radio Pro option, which enables listeners to record broadcasts for a onetime download fee of $4.99. Last year, T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) added the TuneIn application for Android to its T-Mobile Mall Music Hub. Earlier this month, the startup revamped its Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS app, introducing a new Live screen presenting album artwork and show titles that flip every time something new starts. Users may also swipe through each title to discover new songs or shows that just started on a station somewhere in the world.
TuneIn listener hours across all platforms eclipsed 1 billion within the first four months of 2013, with more than 40 million monthly active listeners across 230 countries and territories.
TuneIn said it will leverage the new funding to develop new products and build out its internal capabilities, with a focus on strategic, senior hires. To that end, the company announced it has named Axel Martinez as its chief financial officer. Martinez formerly served as Google's assistant treasurer and head of capital markets.

So I think Im missing something obvious here.
I set up my mailchimp block to accept only email addresses from people to subscribe to a list.
However, it seems that this only works as described with anonymous users.
If the user is logged in, the block changes into a radio check box with a 'join my list etc' title and a save settings button.
I have placed the box in my header, and wanted to keep the 'email submit field' consistent with all users, no matter the user role or if already subscribed.
Comment #1pierrot CreditAttribution: pierrot commented
This is the normal behavior of the module. A registered user doesn't need to give his email again, he just has to check the box.
Comment #2delzhand CreditAttribution: delzhand commented
What if a user wants to use a different email address for newsletters? What if a developer wants a consistent interface for anonymous and authenticated users?
Comment #3adster13 CreditAttribution: adster13 commented
I would also like the option to have the same full interface for registered users and anonymous users.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Under Chapter 13, the inheritance must be reported to the Chapter 13 trustee, who can attach, force the sale of the property and use her 1/2 of the proceeds to pay the unsecured creditors up to the extent of the allowed unsecured claims.
If the potential exists for this to occur, you need to discuss the matter with an attorney to look at some options. There are ways to work out a compromise with the trustee - possibly one that involves you buying out your sister's 1/2 interest to keep title to the property. Also, the property may be available to be placed into a trust that will protect the property from the trustee, etc.
I would suggest before you take title to the property that your sister speak with her bankruptcy attorney and decide the best way to proceed.

Some sailors deflated as Navy trims sails
Sea service cutting nearly 3,000 mid-career troops in a first-of-kind layoff
Navy trimming the ranks
Active-duty Navy personnel:
2006: 359,373
2008: 335,263
2010: 328,303
2012: 325,700
2014: 320,000
Source: Navy budget for fiscal year 2012
About 550 San Diego sailors have a clock ticking on their military careers, as the entire U.S. military stands on the cusp of significant downsizing.
The Navy is cutting nearly 3,000 mid-career troops in a first-of-its-kind layoff this year, made necessary by record-high re-enlistment. Generous wartime military benefits, offered during a deep economic recession, left the Navy with 60 percent retention rates.
Cezar Oborn, a 32-year-old aircraft mechanic, is one casualty of the Navy's Enlisted Retention Board. For the first time, the panel is sending sailors back to the civilian ranks in the middle of an enlistment contract.
A slender, married sailor with one child and another on the way, Oborn browsed tables at a North Island Naval Air Station federal job fair last week.
He doesn't know what's next for him, a common refrain among sailors who are being forced out. An identity besides "Navy" is not something he had planned for — at least not until after the 20-year retirement mark.
Sometimes he wonders whether enlisting was the right choice nearly 10 years ago. If he had gone the route of college and a civilian career, he might be well-established now instead of starting over.
"You're halfway there, and then they chop your legs off," Oborn said.
The whole of the U.S. military is at what has been called a pivot point. Following the end of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, U.S. ground troops are facing sizable cuts.
The Army will decrease by 80,000 soldiers and the Marines will drop by 20,000, according to a multiyear budget-cutting plan unveiled last month by the Pentagon. As of now, Marine officials at Camp Pendleton say the service will handle the coming reductions through retirements and attrition.
The Pentagon is scheduled to release a detailed 2013 budget proposal, with troop numbers for all the services, on Monday.
Separately, the Navy has been slimming down and reorganizing since at least 2005. Today's nearly 324,000 sailors represent a roughly 40,000-person decline since then.
The Navy's controversial Perform to Serve program started in 2003. It requires sailors who are up for re-enlistment to reapply for their jobs, pitting them against each other. In 2011, it resulted in 6,700 sailors being discharged despite their desire to enlist again.
The program is disliked in the ranks, and even Navy brass admit that it became unwieldy because it was relied on to cut too many people. The result was good sailors being shoved out.
Enter the new Enlisted Retention Board, which is even more hated because it severs what some sailors see as a binding contract between Uncle Sam and the service member. These troops got the bad news in November and most must leave the Navy by Sept. 1.
While in San Diego last month, Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan Greenert told sailors that this drastic step — a true layoff — was necessary.
"We had to make a change, to make an adjustment. And under the time constraints, (the Enlisted Retention Board) became the only way we saw to get this done," said Greenert, the Navy's top admiral.
Several people browsing the job fair tables last week were still mystified about why they didn't make the cut. They had good records and supervisors told them not to worry.
Others knew: That drunken-driving arrest didn't help, one sailor said. Another figured that an infraction as a young man, the result of teenage poor judgment, was to blame.
Greenert said that in this tight environment, those things matter.

Oh baby, O-Town's back — again! The only downside: They're down a member.
Ashley Parker Angel, aka the A.J. McLean of O-Town, has decided to "pursue other career opportunities," as E! News so diplomatically puts it. But hey, that still makes your O-Town poster 80 percent correct. Members Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick, Jacob Underwood, and Dan Miller are onboard to get the group back together.
Believe it or not, it's been nearly 14 years since O-Town entered our lives thanks to MTV's Making the Band. The reality TV stars released two albums, but broke up a few years later, only to try getting back together in 2011 (Ashley Parker sat that one out, too). At the time, TMZ said a "full-blown reunion" was scheduled for April 2011 but unfortunately, that all came to naught.
Perhaps the third time's the charm! The guys sure seem excited, tweeting the news March 31 in all caps: "WE'RE BACK!!!" They later thanked their fans for their outpouring of support: "Thank you to all of you that have shown love since our announcement! This reunion is for you guys and we promise not to disappoint."
Are you excited O-Town's back in town? The name not ring any bells? Hit the comments!

Date of Stay: July, 2014
The resort is located near Solvang, Santa Barbara, and Los Olivos. All hookups worked well and site was relatively level. Most site pads are compacted gravel and had ample space between RV's. Sites were nicely landscaped. A ton of activities were taking place at the resort while we were there, which made it fun for the kids. Pool (although crowded) and restrooms were clean. Small store and restaurant located on site. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
It was an average experience for the amount paid. RV sites are very close together. Pull-through sites are set up such that each RV pulls in from the opposite direction. As a result, both RVs doors face each other, which is a little awkward. It was a little uncomfortable to have to share the same grass strip with the family next to us. Pool, restrooms, and laundry facility were spotless. Close and short drive to beaches and activities. Even though the park was clean, I would consider staying here again only after exhausting other locations.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Resort is located in the heart of the Mission Bay area of San Diego. Plenty to do in and around the park. In terms of aesthetics, it is nothing more than a RV parking lot that happens to be right on the bay. However, due to its location and local activities, one could almost overlook the fact that RVers are packed into the park like sardines, particularly during busy parts of the year. All hookups worked well and site was level. Staff were friendly and helpful. Even though I did not actually use the restrooms, they did not have a welcoming appearance from the outside. All in all, I would consider staying here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
This park is not much more than a parking lot for your RV while you enjoy Disneyland. Unfortunately, this is the closest RV park to Disneyland. They do have a convenient shuttle stop for a ride to the amusement park. Even though there is a pool, there are no activities at this "resort". The water pressure is low, the cable does not work (except for in the office, of course), and some of the back-in sites have awkward raised concrete patios in which one must fit their RV between. Office staff provided mediocre hospitality, but the security staff and maintenance crew was extremely pleasant and helpful.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
This is a very clean, well maintained RV resort about 1 mile from the casino. All sites are furnished with full hookups (including cable), a wide concrete pad surrounded by well manicured landscaping, and a picnic table. The pool and spas are well maintained. There is an available shuttle that will take you to either the casino or to the general store. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Positives: Small and wonderful lake for fishing, kayaking, boating, and swimming. The majority of campsites seemed to be shaded. Lakeside campsites provide fairly easy access to the lake. Wonderful ice cream at the store for cheap! In general, the campground staff was friendly and helpful. Negatives: Camped here during Labor Day weekend (mistake). It was way too crowded. Loud campers with no camping etiquette all around us made for a less than pleasant experience. Only a small handfull of sewer sites throughout the campground for RV'ers. WiFi and cell phone coverage is only available around the store; it does not reach the campsites.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
One of our family's favorite RV resorts! We have stayed here multiple times and have never been disappointed. This is a large resort with a lot of activities for families. Hookups are well maintained. Sites are also very level. Easy, scenic walk or bike ride to the ocean and beach, as well as Pismo beach town shops.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Very clean RV resort and friendly staff. They even assist you when backing into your site. The sites have just enough space to enjoy time sitting outside of your rig without disturbing your neighbors. Not much to do around the immediate area; however, it is only 40 minutes from Santa Cruz Boardwalk, 15-20 minutes from Gilroy. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Great RV resort conveniently located just across the street from the beach and only 5-10 minutes from Lake Tahoe casinos. Hiking and bike trails are close by. The resort is very clean. Friendly staff. Sites are pretty level and well maintained. A few areas of the park are pretty tight for larger rigs due to the large trees all around, but just take it slow and you will be able to navigate through. Be sure to bring jackets, sweaters, and have a heater because Lake Tahoe is at a high enough elevation that it can get pretty cold at night; especially, during the off-season. The least favorite part of the resort for us is that it is literally on HWY 50, so there is always the sound of vehicle traffic; it can be annoying during the middle of the night with semi-trucks driving by.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
An easy drive from the Sacramento area for a quick get-away. I have been coming here since I was a kid. The individual experiences have literally ranged from exceptional to downright miserable; depending on how you camp. Overally, Camanche does not have a lot of shade, even though you can find a few spots that have trees with great canopy. Even though the sites do have full hookups, the sites are primitive and can be slightly un-level. However, not nearly enough to be discouraging. The lake is nice; however, the level has consistently been lowering over the years.


text: I just a Schwinn cruiser style frame from a guy at work, and have been trying to determine what model it is. I have the serial number( HE52552) and a number on the cranks(SA 11 69). All I have to go by is the color and a photo of this Heavy-Duti I found on the net. Anyone who is out there that might have some good info or leads,would be appreciated. thanks.

what is it with men
what is it with men i will never understand them
for example why do they always leave the toilet seat up no matter how many times you tell them?
Why do they never wipe down the side in the kitchen when cleaning up?
why do they never hear what you say, when they say they not deaf?
Why do they say we nag, when all we do is constructively criticise?
why do they act like little boys, no matter how old they get?
what is it with men?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world's most famous botanical engravings are in a new kind of Levenger Press book
Here's something you can't do with an e-book: you can't frame it. But that's something you can do with our new Levenger Press limited edition book, Redoute, The Grand Collection: 128 masterpieces of botanical art.
The botanical engravings of Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) are arguably the most famous in the world. Our new, exclusive book is a collection of 128 high-resolution, true-color facsimiles of various Redoute roses, lilies, fruits and other flowers. But instead of being a bound book, this collection is a series of 128 loose pages, printed on one side only. These high-quality Redoute botanical prints are thus suitable for framing.
The sheets are housed in a beautiful beribboned portfolio box of grass-green linen. The portfolio, which is lined on each panel with a Redoute design, is another way to display these botanical prints.
The story of Redoute is a fascinating one. He was influenced early on by a monk; he later became the artist to Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon's Josephine; and he drew his botanicals as they'd never been done before. Two leading experts relay the Redoute story in a companion booklet that comes inside the portfolio. One expert's perspective is on the artistic Redoute. The other's is on the scientific Redoute.
For Redoute's botanical prints are more than pleasing pictures: they're also scientifically accurate. You might say that Redoute is the Audubon of botanical prints. And John James Audubon—whom Redoute once met—was, in fact, an admirer.
Redoute, The Grand Collection is available in a strictly limited edition of 1,400. This exclusive book comes with a special holiday price of $125 through December 24. At $125 for 128 prints, that's less than a buck-a-botanical! That's not something available elsewhere, and certainly not at this high quality.
Sure, you can look at a picture of a Redoute print on a screen, but we think you'll find the experience far richer on the rich, archival-quality paper we've used, and in a portfolio that opens panel by elegant panel, and with pages that are truly yours to have and to hold.
And don't look for this Redoute in the bookstores. It's available only from Levenger, making it almost as rare as a rose in winter.

There's nothing this girl loves more than sequins, sparkle and anything that glitters. Once a star steps onto the red carpet in a sequined number, all eyes are on her. Forget the chick in the strapless red get-up. Been there, done that. We want Gwyneth Paltrow in kelly green at the Bambi Awards, and Duchess Catherine in a princess pink Jenny Packham gown at The ARK gala.
While there was no shortage of sparkle in 2011, 20 gals made it to the top of SOCIALITE LIFE's list for best razzle dazzle.
We want to know who wore their sequins & shine best, so let us know in the comments section below!

Less-than-physical Chargers are about to find out what they're made of
This is all about mice, dunces and men. The Chargers have had plenty of chances to take the more challenging Man-Up Toll Road, but often recklessly have preferred to take the Dumb, Dumber or Rodent turnoffs.
"We are about to find out what we are made of," says General Manager A.J. Smith, referring to this afternoon's crucial here against the Chiefs. "Win or go home."
Whatever the Chargers are made of, A.J. Smith made. He's the father, and he's not about to pass off his kids' problems on the nanny.
"It's not coaching. Norv Turner is a brilliant coach," Smith insists as he always has insisted and will continue to insist.
That's kind of A.J. I certainly don't believe, no matter the outcome of what thus far has been a distastefully disappointing season, that Turner is going to be fired. It's not happening.
But I know one thing. He has not coached the 2010 Chargers well. His staff has not coached the 2010 Chargers well. True, there has been a terrible pandemic of injuries to the receiving corps — to the point where it's stunning — but that doesn't explain the stupidity of special teams early on, nor can it explain Oakland.
Oakland, in particular, was a stunner. Because last week the Chargers were tenderized by a team that had shown no previous signs of being capable of such bloodshed. Championship-caliber football teams do not get Godfathered by the Raiders.
But we, not to mention the rest of the football world, can't help but wonder if Oakland exposed the Chargers defensively. Forget about their top ranking. This is not a physical defense — at least it isn't physical enough often enough — especially down the middle.
The San Diego Chargers ran for 21 yards on the Oakland Raiders. The Oakland Raiders ran for 251 on the San Diego Chargers. That's about 112 more per game than the Raiders averaged going in and — get this — about 170 more than the Bolts had been allowing through 11 games.
This was man-vs.-boy stuff. It's great the Chargers admitted they got woodshedded. They couldn't lie. We all saw the wounds. What isn't great is that they don't know or won't admit to the why of it. The Raiders were bigger and stronger, that's why. The Chargers genuflected. They were outphysicaled. It was a pathetic effort.
And the Chiefs, despite the loss of quarterback Matt Cassel, run the ball as well as any team in the NFL. With backup Brodie Croyle starting at QB, they will try to pound it, and Turner knows it. And because he knows it, this will be a supreme test of his team's machismo.
It's hard to have a conversation with Smith when he doesn't say defense builds championships, but his D flies in the face of the accepted truism that numbers don't lie. Special teams mistakes early in the season that led directly to scores and turnovers either kept the defense off the field or not on it for long. Oakland had to drive all of 59 yards for its first two scores.
There's no question the NFL has become a finesse league, with Commissioner Roger Goodell's new rules threatening to take the game into Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Championships can be won with delicacy and cunning — the Saints did so in February — but if the Chargers win out and the Chiefs stumble and San Diego finds itself in the playoffs, to get to Dallas it will have to go through tough, physical, cold venues.
This Chargers season has been among the more disappointing in their history, playing one of their weakest schedules in years. By my standards, they've played one good team — New England — and the Patriots aren't what they were and San Diego might have won that game had they not done idiotic things. They certainly weren't manhandled by the Patriots.
