SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal agents and San Francisco police searching for a social media maven suspected of possessing explosives are focusing on the city's Lower Haight neighborhood after news reports say the man was spotted in a bar there Monday afternoon.
A bartender at the Mad Dog in the Fog told KPIX 5 that FBI agents were in the bar Monday afternoon and questioned staff about a man who was there around 2 p.m. The man matched the description of 42-year-old Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II
The agents and police officers talked to possible witnesses and surveyed the area.
Multiple agencies, including hazardous materials crews, searched Chamberlain's apartment Saturday in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, blocking off the street to vehicle and pedestrian traffic for much of the day.

The International Freelancers Academy recently published its 2nd Annual Freelance Industry Report, which reports some interesting statistics on how freelancers work and what they earn. I read through the report and gleaned what I thought was most interesting from a financial perspective. You can download the full report for free if you'd like to see full information.
How Much Are Freelancers Paid?
We're being paid pretty well – 45% of freelancers earn between $20 to $59 an hour, 26% earn $80 or more and 17% earn $100 or more. Most writers say they earn between $50 and $59 per hour. Note when I say freelancers that includes various types of freelancers including writers, editors, copywriters, designers, etc. In some places, I pulled out statistics specifically related to writers. More freelancers are writers – 18% – than anything else.
In general, more experienced freelancers charge more.
In the traditional working world, it's said that men out earn women, but that's not the case in most of the freelance world. Women charge more than men for rates less than $100 her hours. But, more men than women charge over $100 per hour. Time to increase our rates ladies?
Most freelancers charge a flat fee per product and about 33% bill on an hourly basis. I've only billed hourly for one project in my freelance career. That's because it was too large to give a flat rate – I felt like giving a flat rate would have been cheating myself.
Freelancing is mostly recession-proof – 52% haven't been largely affected.
How Much Do Freelancers Work?
Sixty-six percent of freelancers do so on a full-time basis. And 52.1% are the primary income providers in their household.
Many freelancers – 39% – earn more now than they did as an employee and most work less than 40 hours per week. What I like about freelancing is that you don't have to clock in 40 hours a week simply because that's the standard workweek. How many full-time employees actually do 40 hours of work?
What's Most Challenging About Freelancing?
The biggest challenge is finding new clients, but the survey shows freelancers spend less than 5 hours a month on marketing. The second biggest challenge is the feast-or-famine cycle of work. Interesting, copywriters find it harder to find new clients vs. writers. The most experienced freelancers get work through referrals and word of mouth. However, a lot of writers find clients through Craigslist, article marketing, and social media.
The Best Part of All
The majority of freelancers are at least moderately happier since they started freelancing and wouldn't go back even if the money were better.
The survey includes answers from 1,204 freelancers in 37 professions.
What do you think? Do the survey results sound like your freelance experience?

It still shocks me that writers overall aren't earning more. I'd love to know of those respondents were averaging earnings per hour or stating their hourly rate.

Are You a "Weekend" Mother?
by Leslie Morgan Steiner
Good god, sometimes I don't know whether I can take the mommy wars anymore.
The latest salvo: invention, by stay-at-home moms, of the derogatory term "weekend mother" to describe women who work for pay outside their homes from Monday through Friday (or some other period).
The implication being that working moms can not give as much love and attention to their children as stay-at-home mothers.
"They're not there," one stay-at-home mother said of working mothers. "Most of the working moms I know, all they have time for is dinner and bath time. They're not really spending time with their kids."
Oh dear.
The debate raged on Facebook about this moniker and then was picked up by newspapers, including the Sacramento Bee. Writer (and mom) Niesha Lofing wrote in her own defense:
"The 'weekend mother' label certainly hit a pressure point in my brain. I thought good parents were the ones who engaged in their children's development – whether they stay at home with them or not."
Shout it from the laptop, Niesha! For the record, The American Association of Pediatrics has said that a child's development is influenced more by the emotional health of the family and quality of child care than by whether mom spends all day child-rearing. I know stay-at-home moms who are so nuts I wouldn't leave a child with them for 30 minutes. And working moms who bump pediatrician appointments in favor of a pedicure. Your employment status is irrelevant to how good a mom you are. Most of the 80 million moms in this country are darn good caregivers, no matter where you find us between 9 am and 5 pm. The vast majority of mothers are working moms who have to work to support their families – only about six million of the country's 80 million moms stay at home fulltime. And all moms work, whether we get paid or not – the label "working mom" is just as silly as "stay-at-home mom."
Oh for goodness sake! So what if they work? There are working moms who give more attention to their children than some stay at home moms. (I.e. SAHM sits on the couch watching tv with doors/windows closed while children under 5 years old play outside unsupervised.) Why should anyone be guilted? Every time I hear about these supposed wars, I shake my head and scream inside, "Celebrate the similarities! Celebrate the similarities!"
I love being a SAHM, because I have a lot of time and pack a lot of quality in it, but sometimes I need a break. Sometimes I would love to have a little time away from the kids once in a while, more money, and adult conversation. I have the luxury of doing what I want when I want, not having to cram all of my housework into a few hours in the evenings, and time to watch a tv show in the afternoon. But I also have children "MOM! MOM! MOM!"-ing me to death some days. lol
The point is that each person, each family, has to make the choice that's right for them. No one else can decide for them. And the study that says working moms have a neutral effect on their children is interesting. Neutral is not negative and not positive, so working moms have no negative and not positive influence? I know some working moms who manage to pack a lot of influence in their time with their children. It's all quality, so who cares if the mom works or not as long as she's a good mom.
Leslie, great article... I was thinking about why moms tear each other apart, and dads just skip out on all of this drama. The more I think of it, though, the more it comes down to: mean girls not growing up. As pre-teens and teens, females are much more brutal to other females specifically. Boys tend to compare less, tend to be more easy going, while girls start at a young age tearing each other apart. This trend does not stop with the onset of adulthood- maturity has always been optional, you know ;)
The answer? Be a woman who is comfortable with yourself, don't apologize for doing what is right for you. Hopefully your example will rub off on someone, and the trickle-down effect will silence the stupid mommy wars in 100 years. I've always said: If you have so few problems that my life choices became one of them, you need some real problems.
You said it, Leslie. I too wish women were better at supporting each other. Unfortunately, it often seems to me that insecurity drives some (many?) women into putting down the choices made by others so that they feel better about the track they've chosen for themselves. If something works for your situation, then you should do it. There's enough guilt going around without having to face judgment by your peers.
It also ticks me off that men seem to get off so lightly with respect to "weekend parenting." However, as someone married to a man who is very involved with his kids, I know there are challenges that he faces more than I usually do, especially with regard to wanting/needing to take time off for "kid stuff." Just seems like our society hasn't quite faced the reality that a lot of households are dual income (or single parent).
Oh man, that is so hurtful to call working mom's "weekend moms". I really dislike anyone that thinks they are better than another, but when it comes to mom, I SUPER dislike it. As you stated, we need each other! I've always said a mom's worst enemy are other mothers. Its sad.
Great article. I'm so tired of the concept of "mommy wars". What's right for my family may not be right for your family. Get over it and quit judging.
This "war" makes me want to scream. My sister was happy in her role as a home daycare provider. Their original plan had been for her to stay home with the kids but her husband had just started a business and she felt she should bring in some extra cash.
Then, as happened to many in the economy, his business failed. He was unable to get a job so she went back to work as a nurse.
It hurts her enough that she isn't where she wants and intended to be. She works nights to increase the time she can spend with her children, and if someone were to dismiss her as a "weekend mom" she'd cry for days.
So why do people feel the need to do that to others. It's like the high school mean girls all over again.
Leslie - this is very well said and I'm so appreciative of your articles like this. Whether we have outside jobs or not does not equate to whether we are "better" mothers than other women - whatever that might even mean. That argument is very simple-minded and ignores the wonderfully-broad spectrum of motherly love we all have for our children. For goodness sake, moms, can't we all just get along???
Amen! Love this post and wish women everywhere could be more supportive of the choices we make in the best interest of our families.

risk analysis
Insurance companies offer protection against rare but catastrophic events like hurricanes or earthquakes. But how do they work out the financial risks associated to these disasters? Shane Latchman investigates.
Hardly six months go by without a natural disaster striking some part of the globe. While it's next to impossible to predict these catastrophes, let alone prevent them, mathematical modelling gives a way to prepare for their impact. Shane Latchman explains.
One in nine women will get breast cancer in her lifetime, and it seems sensible to screen women for breast cancer to treat them as early as possible. But, as David Spiegelhalter explains, screening is a controversial issue.
Would you prefer a game with a 90% chance of winning, or one with a 10% chance of losing? You might scratch your head and say it's the same thing, and you'd be right, but research has shown that people's perception of risk is surprisingly vulnerable to the way it's presented. In this article David Spiegelhalter and Mike Pearson explore how risk can be spun and there's an interactive animation for you to have a go yourself.
Well, no-one knows exactly, but using stats you can make a good guess. This article tells you how and has an interactive life expectancy calculator. Do you dare to find out?
You meet an old friend on holiday, you find your colleague shares your birthday, you win the lottery. Exactly how rare are these rare events? David Spiegelhalter investigates in his regular column on uncertainty and risk.
Rupa Patel never wanted to be a financial engineer — she wanted to be a maths teacher. However, her skills in conveying difficult mathematical concepts to others, as well as a love of maths, enticed her into the exciting field of financial mathematics. Now she models risk, travels Europe and occasionally finds time to herself to examine the maths of her job in detail.
This is the second part of our new column on risk and uncertainty. David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, continues examining league tables using the Premier League as an example. Find out just how much — or how little — these simple rankings can tell you.
League tables are controversial and for good reason. Few things are simple enough to be measured by a single outcome like, for example, the number of exam passes or successful heart operations. But even if we do accept a single yardstick, we haven't yet reckoned with chance, which by itself can produce apparent patterns to delight any tabloid editor.
What's the risk of passive smoking? Or climate change? How big is the terrorist threat? And should we trust league tables? These issues concern all of us, but it's not always easy to make sense of the barrage of media information. David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk, gives Plus his take on uncertainty.

I live in Minnesota, and am already tired of Minnesota coach Tim Brewsters constant blow. Yes they got seven wins, but they beat no one and were blown out by any decent teams. Latest: Brewster has hired a new line coach and wants to go to the power running game. (what his predessor Glen Mason ran and was fired for)
"We are going away from the wide-open style of offense to the system I've always wanted, the power game."
When he was hired he said. "We are going to a wide open spread style of offense, that's the kind of system I've always wanted to run."
This guy is completely knee jerk. In the long run, Iowa State will have the better program, and Brewster will be gone.
Not saying I want him.
However....we beat no one and got destroyed by any decent teams as well.
Did Brewster carbo-load with Jucos?
Not sure why anyone would be thinking about who we should have gotten as a coach. Last time I checked we have a pretty great coach right now.
Not Brewster, but I really wish we would have given Brian Kelley a sniff.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Isn't he the owner of the Beers baseketball team and father of professional baseketball? Oh, wait, no, that is Ted Denslow.

Why? So we could have gone 5-19 over the last two years with Kelley as our coach while we're wishing that we would have hired whoever Cinci hired instead?

"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
I'd take going from 1-11 in Year 1 to 7-5 in Year 2 in a heartbeat. I don't see how anyone can be trashing Brewster at all for what he did.
He took huge steps forwards, we took steps backwards.
I'm happy with Gene Chizik as our coach but to bash Brewster is stupid.
Tim Brewster wins games, whats wrong with that?

Sounds like a version of the backup quarterback syndrome. The second option in a coaching search is always better than the one you hired.

Chizik is the man. Brewster was never a candidate, that was a creation by the media. I can't believe people are down on Chizik after only 2 years! McCarney was given 12 years, and left the cubbord bare. Patience, I know this year was brutal......especially the defense.

Dr. Jennfer Hoffman, Manager in Exponent's Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science practice, is presenting a talk entitled "Microscopic Characterization of CPVC Failure Modes", at the Golden Gate Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers on Thursday, November 19th.
Abstract: This talk will demonstrate the utility of fractography (i.e., the study of fracture surfaces) in failure analysis investigations. CPVC fire sprinkler pipe sections were subjected to controlled loading conditions typifying hydrostatic burst, impact loading, and environmental stress cracking (ESC) to induce cracks. Hydrostatic burst is an overload failure mode (e.g. water hammer), which may occur during pipeline operation, while pipe crush is a failure mode that may occur during installation or maintenance of the pipeline. ESC, a time-dependent failure mode involving physical embrittlement of plastic materials, may occur when stressed pipes are exposed to certain chemicals such as solvent cements, solder fluxes, fitting lubricants, and transported fluids. A pipe recovered from a field failure was also examined and compared to a pipe that failed under simulated service conditions involving a combination of chemical and thermal insult and hydrostatic load. In addition, the effect of chemical concentration on ESC behavior is evaluated using common phthalate ester plasticizers, which are known ESC agents for CPVC.

The Biggest Loser: Moses Kinikini Elimination Interview
April 14, 2011 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
The Biggest Loser on NBC fans said goodbye this week to Moses Kinikini as he sacrificed himself and ended his journey in a land that meant so much to his family. In a post elimination interview Moses Kinikini shares his thoughts on the show and how now he is all about building muscle. Keep reading for more details!
The Biggest Loser said goodbye to Moses Kinikini this week as Bob's team had the lowest percentage of weight loss. After we all teared up hearing Olivia's plea to save her so she could continue her journey and ultimately her goal of having children, Moses asked the remaining contestants to let him go. In a post elimination interview, Moses discusses his decision and why it felt right to him. Here are some of Moses Kinikini's thoughts.
Question: How do you stay motivated at home?
Moses Kinikini: My whole motivation has always been my wife and my girls, and now I am actually home with them and they keep me going – that is what I work so hard for.
Question: Kaylee has come so far this season, you must be so proud of her?
Moses Kinikini: I was always proud of Kaylee from the time she was born and I had this opportunity to go through this with her and that just gives me even more reason to be so proud of her. Watching her grow from within has been the greatest experience of all.
Question: What did you think of Ken calling out Cara this week – do you agree with him?
Moses Kinikini: I guess everybody responds to each other differently. I didn't agree with Ken, at least for me. I appreciated being able to work out with all 4 trainers, I love them all to death. My favorites are Brett and Cara since I started out with them and if I had to choose one trainer responsible for all my weight loss it would be Cara. I really wish Ken would have handled that a little differently. Cara is the very best for me.
Question: We saw Kaylee have a gain this week, was she still expressing a desire to go home?
Moses Kinikini: Kaylee put that behind her. If you noticed that was my lowest weight loss ever, I had a zero. I believe every one of us all dealt with traveling and we tended to retain a lot of water. I was relieved that I got a zero because I had so much in me and I was able to get it out. Kaylee worked hard but was unfortunately unable to get all that water all out.
Question: Were your diets different in New Zealand and could that have affected your weight loss?
Moses Kinikini: You know, it's a tropical island, we had a lot of fish available which is very healthy and I was able to eat that. It was more the shopping, everything there we had to deal with learning their conversion because they didn't deal with calories. For the most part eating wasn't so bad, I think with Kaylee she found herself eating a little more than normal. It was not as well followed in our diets as it is on the ranch.
Question: How much did you enjoy that experience with Kaylee this week?
Moses Kinikini: I've always wanted to go on a helicopter ride, especially to be able to do it with Kaylee. I was so grateful to Olivia and Irene for allowing me to spend that day with Kaylee, especially in a place that was so important to my father and my family.
Question: Have you made any plans to return to New Zealand with your whole family?
Moses Kinikini: Not yet, nothing is in the works but I would love to do it, my home country is Tonga and in the process of going to Tonga I would love to spend a week in New Zealand. I'd love to take my whole family and bungee jump [chuckling].
Question: How has your support system been at home?
Moses Kinikini: My support at home has been absolutely wonderful. Honestly from that first 2 weeks we went home earlier the only reason my weight loss was minimal was because I took a break and I just wanted to enjoy my family. Everything is working well now, I've got the support at home.
Question: Earlier this season, you received a shocking death date by Dr. H. How does it feel to have that gone?
Moses Kinikini: When I received that it was an eye opener, if you remember in the episode it brought tears to my eyes. It made me realize I was living the life of my uncles who died early because of their weight. Again, I am in debt to The Biggest Loser because my health is so much better, my blood pressure is better. In just 10 weeks I have gained 19 years to my life back. My future and my family is looking very bright.
Question: You had the potential to go all the way to the finale, why did you sacrifice that for Olivia?
Moses Kinikini: Yeah, you know, first of all the money to me does not mean anything. The real winners are those that have been able to take off the weight and figure out the right lifestyle. I knew the reason why Olivia came to the show, so before she even said that – and I wish the rest of the country would understand this but I got everything I needed off the show and I want to give her every way possible to get that dream of hers to have a child. She did not make me feel guilty, I already thought of that before she even said it. I was at peace with everything.
Question: What is the most important thing you have learned on the ranch?
Moses Kinikini: There's a lot of things I have learned. I would probably say that this whole experience is about health and it comes down to nutrition and exercising, but if I had to chose one it would be nutrition. It's all about what we put into our bodies. One thing you need to do is be responsible for what you eat and it will change your life.
Question: What is your weight now and what is your goal weight?
Moses Kinikini: Because I don't care about the money, I want to come back with muscles, I've been a very powerful man my whole life. I don't want to bulk up but my whole goal is to become very lean and very strong. Right now my exact weight is at 286 but I have leaned out and added muscle also.
Best of luck to Moses Kinikini, we look forward to seeing you at the finale! Be sure to tune in Tuesday for a brand new episode of The Biggest Loser on NBC!

This review is from: ViewSonic Value VA2223wm-LED Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LED Monitor 250 cd/m2 1,000:1 Built-in Speakers
Pros: 1080p, reliable, works well.
Cons: Not impressive for the features. I had this monitor at work. I am now buying a monitor for home gaming/media system and decided to check the stats on the monitor that I've been using for over a year at work. To my surprise, this monitor has most of the bells/whistles but I did not feel like it is awesome. It is basic picture; everything you'd expect from the monitor. But at least it told me that I need to look for something better for my home gaming system...
Other Thoughts: It is frustrating to see all these stats that marketers push on you... refresh rate, lag time, 1080p, etc... but then I am looking at the monitor that has all these decent stats and it is just average... how do you really choose a good monitor from the rest of the pack?!

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
(Photo Credit: jeffgunn/Flickr)
In the 1990s, San Francisco enacted numerous laws to raise pay, improve benefits, expand healthcare access, and extend paid sick leave for the city's workers. Fifteen years later, the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment says the mandate worked, and those who live and work in San Francisco are enjoying pay and benefits that go against the current national trend.
Sorry to disappoint the all the "job creators" sitting on their piles of wealth, but San Francisco has shown the way to improve the economy is get off your pile of wealth and spread it around. Rather than becoming a ghost town because businesses just couldn't afford to stay in business, San Francisco is thriving and has caused other cities to follow suit, including Seattle, San Jose, and Washington, D.C.. Chicago and New York are also looking to adopt San Francisco's higher wages and better benefits laws.
Theory Versus Reality
Some economists still claim that by using money to lift people out of poverty, we will destroy the economy. However, when we look at cities and neighborhoods that have enacted laws to close the gap between the rich and the poor by paying workers more, it seems perhaps these prophets of doom are mistaken.
Why? When people can afford to purchase goods and services, they patronize the businesses that offer, well, goods and services. Then, instead of going out of business, those employers (who own businesses that sell goods and services) have to hire more people -- and pay them. It works in San Francisco, and it can work in your city, too.
Now, can we please just raise the minimum wage on the federal level?
Tell Us What You Think
Do you think we should raise the minimum wage, and why or why not? We want to hear from you! Leave a comment or join the discussion on Twitter.
The minimum wage needs to be raised to $10 per hour at the federal level soon.
Oil and gasoline prices have tripled the last decade; and many food and utility costs have nearly doubled over the same time period.
$7.75 workers are unable to sustain themselves on any level.
Corporations have cash-on-hand and are waiting for what? There is nothing preventing any company or individual to 'found the next Google to employ 30,000 high paying jobs'.
Rather than innovate and grow, some corporations hold onto their cash reserves, or buy large amounts of their own stock. Or approve large payments to the top executives.
Capitalism can be a good thing 'on the way up', with all parties sharing a piece of the pie. However, 'on the way down', many employees at the bottom find that their slice of the pie has been taken already, and they must go without.
At this time it is evident to me that the minimum wage needs to be raised at the federal level to prevent further poverty and social decline.
However, let's address Beth's flawed assumption. So she assumes that just because SF is doing well that the minimum wage increases are to credit or didn't have any negative affects. Perhaps SF is doing well in spite of these laws not because of them? When you pass a law that forces people to take an action what you don't see is the missed opportunities. So, we could pass a law that requires every police officer in America to break all the windows in everyone's house and this would in turn force everyone to go out and buy new windows. The window makers/installers would boom and they would hire more people who could then go out and spend money. But what you didn't see is all the things that might have happened if the market was able to work on its own (all the missed opportunities). Perhaps one person could have used his window replacement money to found the next Google which employs 30,000 to 50,000 high paying jobs.
Beth is arrogant to assume she knows what is best for the entire economy. What is best for the economy is the efficient flow of capital through our markets.

An Egyptian child's tomb, dating to 3,200 B.C., contained bowling balls and pins. Various forms of bowling have been popular in America since colonial times, as the English, Dutch, and German settlers all imported their own variations of bowling.
By the 1870s, competitive bowling between clubs was common in New York, Chicago and Milwaukee. Tenpin bowling dominated the sport, but without official rules and equipment standards the game flourished only at the local level.
On Sept. 9, 1895, the American Bowling Congress (ABC) was organized in New York City. The ABC held its first national tournament in 1901. The Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC), first established in 1916 as the Ladies National Bowling Association, then named the Women's National Bowling Association, began championship games the following year. The Professional Bowlers Association of America was founded in 1958.
A hard rubber ball was introduced in 1905. Automatic pinspotting machines were invented in the early 1950s.
The United States Bowling Congress was founded in 2005 with the merger of the American Bowling Congress, Women's International Bowling Congress, Young American Bowling Alliance, and USA Bowling.
By the 1970s, annual prizes money in U.S. tournaments grew to $1 million. Today it exceeds $9 million.
Today, an estimated 70 million people bowl at least once a year in the United States.

maybe time for SLW to buy back some shares, thoughts anyone?
Not at this level. May be close to 52 weeks low they can.
I'd buy some, I mean look at the VIX levels, if it goes down a bit more there's some cheap options to buy. Its inevitable that it'll come back up, I'd probably hold right until earnings and wait and see but I don't see these stocks tanking.
Sentiment: Hold
there is a chance you don't need that. That's what I see next 2 days. Dollar index goes up, silver down, SLW goes down but not much. EUR/USD has to retest 1.3451 +/-. Thursday ECB rate + ECB president speech, which has a higher % to move SLW up. If ECB president wants EUR/USD to 1.41 target, then SLW goes way up, so that's where you can get on the train and ride up. On Friday Non-Farm Employment Change. If the number sucks then it confirms 100% the way we go and it's up. I would not expect anything big till then + next Monday SLW 3rd Q report, so if you get on the train keep your stops very close. If the report sucks, which I don't expect, then price goes down. It would be very ideal to wait till Monday morning, then take a final direction.
P.S. I bought last Friday SLW at 21.90. I have a stop loss on 21.96. Looks like the market will take my stop loss tomorrow. If it does I will wait till Thursday to do 1-2 day trades till Friday night.
Sounds like they will use them to buy 50% gold streaming stake http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20131104-915604.html?dsk=y
I'd rather see them hold back inventory and force the hand to equate the "paper value" to actual value. Unless the CEO feels this is fair value. Nothing illegal about holding your company assets back. Very simple strategy but maybe they know the answer

After going through the TdF with Paul and Phil (Phil especially), these Cycling.TV commentators are awful. Unlike Phil who can make even the most boring flat stage and turn it into something exciting, these two commentators can turn an exciting mountain top finish and deflate it so much, I feel as if I was watching a club ride jaunt to Starebucks.
Man - they need to get some new commentators.

I do not think that this has been tested yet, but are there any knee-

Inspired by Letters Above Cockpit Windows? (by Btriple7 Jun 17 2006 in Tech Ops) , I have a similar question. I haven't been able to find any threads that've covered this before, so there it is.
I don't think I've ever seen a commercial aircraft with lettering, logos, or graphics on its forehead--why is that? When I put on my markerter's cap, it seems like that blank space would be *perfect* for even a small company logo or name. When you consider that just about every other surface of the a/c exterior contributes to the brand and the amount of time that the front is visible (especially when it's parked at the gate), it almost seems like a waste. But I'm sure there has to be a reason, so if anybody could explain it, I'm all ears...err--eyes...
If there happens to be any airline that has done or does this, please let me know of that, too; I'd love to find a pic in the database to get a gander. Thanks!

They've been dating for just over a year, but Kellan Lutz and girlfriend Sharni Vinson are still frisky as hell. And why not? Both are incredibly good-looking and "happy," according to each party.
"She's a happy person, which really just clicks with me," Lutz once said of the Australian actress. "It's just great to have someone you can smile with all the time. It's really special."
Lutz and Vinson hit the beach at Cronulla in Australia, where Vinson showed off a tiny frame in a string bikini.
So, how did these two meet?
"In a chemistry reading for Step Up 3D," Vinson explained recently. "We kind of were doing our own thing and not in touch, and then he got in touch and I was like, 'Hey.'"

Final count reaffirms election outcomes
Two-thirds of the registered voters in Lackawanna County cast ballots in the Nov. 6 general election.
The final numbers released Friday by the county Department of Elections showed 98,775 of the 149,471 people who were eligible to vote went to the polls or voted by absentee ballot, a turnout rate of 66.1 percent.
Marion Medalis, director of elections, said the total included 245 voters who cast provisional ballots, which are used when there is a question at the polling place about a voter's eligibility.
Of those, 154 were counted in full, she said. The other 91 were counted only in part because the voter, while properly registered, was in the incorrect congressional or legislative district.
Another 338 provisional ballots were rejected because the individuals were not registered or were registered in another Pennsylvania county, Mrs. Medalis said.
The total number of provisionals - 583 - was large but not exceptional for a presidential election, she said.
"If you look at the primary, we had 22 (provisional ballots cast), so there is no comparison, obviously," Mrs. Medalis said. "But is it unusual for us to have a high number like that in a presidential? The answer is no."
At 66.1 percent, the turnout lagged behind participation in the presidential election four years ago, when 69.4 percent of the county's voters cast ballots.
President Barack Obama carried the county over Republican Mitt Romney with 62.9 percent of the vote. The Democrat received a nearly identical 62.2 percent of the vote in his race against Republican John McCain in 2008.
Democratic Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane, a resident of Waverly, was the top individual vote-getter in the county. She received 69,364 votes, or 72.1 percent, in carrying the county by an almost 3-1 margin over Republican David Freed.
Mrs. Medalis said the county election board will meet Nov. 28 to certify to results.

It's hard to turn off NBC's coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games. I know this firsthand... I've been trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour since the games began.
From the pool to beach volleyball, from cycling to gymnastics, these games are packed with exciting, exhilirating action.
There is also the spirit of the thing. The event as a whole is bigger than its parts, an event that brings the world together... as best we can.
I certainly hope you are enjoying the games as I am. I am also enjoying Christina Vitale's reports on WITN News at Sunrise each weekday morning.
Christina recaps all the action (some of it from late night or overnight), gives you updates, the medal count and previews what is coming up. It's a great way to catch up and get ready for all the events in Beijing. She and Heather King are doing a great job each morning.
Thought you might find that helpful to know, in case... like me... you want to try to salvage some sleep!

The term government is ambiguous. In the end, it is the superiors who form the government.
When seniors do not follow the rule-book, remind them you cannot support them. They may not like it, but will understand it.
Know legal language. Contractors understand legality before quality.
Never assume you can do it all. The minister should be with you. Never assume you need be restricted by the minister. Some honest senior can be approached.
Set the rules such that they cannot be broken. Do not set such rules that support only a strong lobby. Set it up such that commoners and eternity stands greatest chance.
Minimize the tolerance-level to nuisance and system shall survive.
Do not let over-enthusiasm spoil the show. Balance.
Do the right thing but do not get carried away in the crusade. Rationalize. Objectify. Simplify.
All public-facing departments will be first to get corruption charge. Have your most honest folks placed there.
You are as constrained as you believe you are. Stay minimal. Be focused. Understand the rule-book. Strike for honesty and cause progress at best time.
Change is sanctioned on paper but is seldom caused. Pure courage cannot cause change. Absolute courage diced with nicety and firmness causes revolutionary change.
Beware of the backdoor operator. They have more ears and eyes then what you may have guessed.
The more you suggest, the more action-items you get. Suggest only when you're sure where the task is going!
Every leader is known by the followers he grooms.
Do not invest in smartness alone. Also invest in effectiveness.

Smaller churches felt the squeeze, but larger ones fared relatively better in offerings in 2010 compared to 2009, says the State of the Plate survey released in March.
Only 12 percent of churches reported unchanged giving from 2009, while 43 percent of churches experienced a giving increase and 39 percent reported a decrease.
About 40 percent of churches with fewer than 249 attendees experienced a drop in giving.
Only 29 percent of megachurches, with an average weekend attendance of more than 2,000, reported a decrease in giving.
State of the Plate is a joint project of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Maximum Generosity and Christianity Today International.

For animation geeks, it's hard not to get excited whenever a new Studio Ghibli film is on its way. Here is the U.S., that film is "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," which GKIDS plans to release in an English dub this fall, but in Japan, the next Ghibli is due in theaters this month, and it looks like a real beauty.
"When Marnie Was There" is is adapted from the book by Joan Robinson, and tells the story of a young, lonely girl who makes a new friend in Marnie--who very well may be a ghost. Robinson's book is on the list of Hayao Miyazaki's favorite 50 children's books, so it's not surprising that it's getting the Ghibli treatment.
"Marnie" is directed by Yonebayashi Hiromasa, who helmed Studio Ghibli's "The Secret World of Arrietty." Niwa Keiko ("From Up on Poppy Hill") and Ando Masahi (a character designer on "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke") wrote the screenplay.
Check out the new trailer for "When Marnie Was There" below.

Santa Cruz and Santa Fe
Galapagos Trip April 2012
Santa Fe - here we did a short walk on the island and saw a large group of LARGE sea lions on the beach. The vegetation was mostly cactus and low shrub type plants. We saw a few iguanas and birds but mostly sea lions were the attraction. Some were in our path and Pepe, our guide, had to get them to move so we could get back to the beach. The have very loud barks! We then went on a deep water snorkel in clear and not too cold water - no not need to wear wet suits. We saw a very large school of sardine like fish - so large that you could not see the bottom thorough it nor the end of it when you were in the middle of it. It was massive. We also got to see 2 Galapagos sharks circling at the bottom under this bait ball. There were also large schools of very small jelly fish which were harmless. We swam across the bay to an area where sea lions were swimming including some baby sea lions who would swim right up to your face mask. It was very cool
Back on board we had had a nice dinner where the adults sat together and the kids at another. We hung out for a while and shared email addresses so we could share photos, etc.

Skin Cancer: Coming to a Face Near YouBy John Woolf
There are over one million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year in the United States, representing about half of all cancers diagnosed in the country. And skin cancer on a dramatic increase. There are twice as many skin cancers in our population today as there were 20 years ago. Given this rate of increase, chances are about 50/50 that you will develop at least one skin cancer lesion if you live to age 70. This is especially true if you are fair-skinned. While skin cancer can occur in people of all races, those with lighter skin have a much higher risk because their skin contains less of the pigment melanin, which helps protect against an overdose of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, which can lead to skin cancer over time. The effect is apparently cumulative. A body of evidence also suggests that this also applies if you decide to go the "fake bake" route of the tanning salons.
Thankfully, most skin cancers, about 95 percent, are not life threatening. Skin cancer falls into two broad areas: basal-cell cancer / sqamous-cell cancer, and melanoma. The two most common of these cancers are the basal-cell and sqamous-cell carcinomas. These typically are easily treated, usually with surgery, and rarely lead to death. If neglected, however, over time, these can eventually lead to disfigurement and/or can spread with dire consequences. Only about 5 percent of all skin cancers are malignant melanomas, but these are far more dangerous and account for almost all deaths due to skin cancer. This aggressive form of cancer needs to be addressed immediately. Like most cancers, the risk of malignant melanomas will increase with age. If you feel you have developed any type of skin cancer be sure to see a dermatologist at once.

Is Mint Hill "Youth Football, USA?" We already know about Independence's amazing win streak three years ago—the best of any public high school in history. But now Butler is at it. They have won 31 consecutive games and two state 4AA titles. Despite off the field issue, the Bulldogs dominated every team they played this season. Of course, it helps
that they have a feeder program like the Mint Hill Chargers who just won their third national title in four years in Orlando, Fl last weekend. Want to hear an amazing stat? The Chargers outscored their opponents this season 708-28, including a 38-0 shellacking of Park Ridge Falcons (Illinois), the defending National Champ. Read about both team's success this season in this week's Mint Hill Times.
Other stories in this week's paper:

Dances with leaves
Last weekend dawned glorious and mild.
The autumn leaves lay heaped up and knee-deep…
Who could resist their invitation to dive in and take a leaf bath?
The kids couldn't…
And neither could I!
My daughter caught me dancing with leaves.
Meanwhile, Oscar enjoyed the autumn sunshine
In a more dignified manner.
For more autumn (or spring) fun, please visit: Our World Tuesday.

October 21, 2013 at 18:11
Your children are precious! And so are you, playing in the leaves. Oscar is so dignified in his portrait. Probably guarding you all very seriously.
October 21, 2013 at 18:12
A pile of leaves is hard to resist–except maybe for the one who raked it up!
October 21, 2013 at 18:19
Wonderful Pics!

For once Oscar is the one being dignified! Your autumn is glorious – all those big trees raining leaves. The lake's refection is so spectacular.

Beautiful as usual, and Oscar makes me miss my dog, Cookie.

October 22, 2013 at 00:59
perfect photos! Everyone was captured at their Fall best!
October 22, 2013 at 03:50
What a lovely post! When the grandchildren were small we used to go to the Botanical Gardens and bury ourselves in the heaps of leaves . . . the gardeners were not amuse but we certainly were.
I am having immense problems uploading a photo to the link, it keeps on bringing a photo from weeks ago and there is no way I can change it. Since the photo is of grey water, it is not exactly inviting to come and see the wonders my present world offers. I am really at my wit's end. Even with the wrong photo it wipes out my ULR so I cannot be found. I wonder what God or Mr.Linky are playing at? Can you help? In the older version of Mr.Linky I never had a problem.
October 22, 2013 at 04:43
Time to rejoice!
October 22, 2013 at 04:46
Beautiful colors of autumn. I like the cute Goldie.
October 22, 2013 at 05:39
Thanks, I would love you to link me up properly. Sorry, I had no idea you had to have the post linked. I'm just not up to all the new changes yet. Will do better next time.
October 22, 2013 at 05:46
Funny, pretty pictures, that great fall colors, gorgeous …!
October 22, 2013 at 09:20

Kicking the fallen leaves – one of the joys of chilhood(and adulthood).
October 22, 2013 at 09:55
That's probably like I would have at home, for the moment I am dancing under Palm trees, lol !
October 22, 2013 at 10:53
I love the view across the lake, with all the trees there wearing their autumn best!!! I love to scuff through the leaves, and hear the sound they make!!!
October 22, 2013 at 11:52
Playing with fallen leaves is a mark of good mental health!!

Lovely autumn photos. Leaves and kids – what a wonderful happiness together – and sometimes also you and me.
October 22, 2013 at 20:07
reminded me of my grandchildern hiding under a lot of leafs. They had fun as your kids seem too also.
October 23, 2013 at 00:15
Great photos. I'd love to dive into those leaves – we don't get piles like that around here.
October 23, 2013 at 01:32
These photos absolutely capture the joy of Fall. Everyone is enjoying the season as well they should. Great photo descriptions too. Have a wonderful week.
October 23, 2013 at 05:45
Jumping into a leaf stack is so much fun for children (and adults!) I loved the action shot you you throwing the leaves in the air. Autumn joy!
October 23, 2013 at 07:53
We don't have autumn leaves falling like this in abundance – only where someone might have a tree that sheds it leaves – Australian trees don't do that – so I have no idea what this feels like – but it looks like fun! Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
October 23, 2013 at 16:14
i would love to take a leaf bath.

Wonderful photos! This post reminds me of my grandmother's favorite poem, "October's Party" by George Cooper. (October was her favorite month, and interestingly she died on Oct 1 nine years ago at age 95).

Oh so full of joy — those smiles, those dances with the leaves!! I remember those kinds of Autumns. Oscar must have been tired from romping, he isn't always that sedate and dignified!

This article is dated back to November so its before we got into the season too hard. but to me it sparks a good question for us to discuss. Heres mine. Just to warn you, i am a bit prejudice against a few players, so please argue with me. ;)

You spelled Currie wrong !lol
What is your reason for putting Roby so far down the list? He is clearly a very good player. In fact, at one point in the season Chris Piper was talking about him being a dark horse Big 12 MVP candidate.
No tucker?
Like i said in the 1st post, i have some prejudices against some players (obviously roby). I believe he is one-dimensional and will not be a consistent player in the NBA and i believe he will end up in the NBDL.
Although 999 may be a little brutal, i just trying to make a point.
I have never been impressed with Roby, the kid needs to know there is more than scoring.
I agree that he's not all he's been cracked up to be, but I don't think that being 'one dimensional' is always such a horrible thing. Agreed, you have to have dimensions, but JJ Reddick and Adam Morrison are big scorers that often get flustered and burnt on defense. Not at all trying to compare Roby's talent to theirs by any means, but just as an example of what being more one-dimensional can get you. (assuming you are surrounded by other good players, which Roby hasn't been.) Thoughts?
I think the term "one dimensional" is way overused. For example, I have seen in many of the Reggie Evans posts comparing him to Dennis Rodman, that Rodman was called one dimensional. We certainly know him as a rebounder, but he was on the all NBA Defensive 1st Team 7 times and Defensive MVP twice, but because he was so good at rebounding, he is called one dimensional. Was Jake one dimensional as a 3 pt shooter? I know he was a liability at times on defense, no denying that.
I think Roby still has a lot of room to grow and has great NBA potential. He seemed to have some damn good games against our "NBA" backcourt of Stinson and Blalock. If he stays at CU next year their is going to be a lot of weight on his shoulders with them losing 10 seniors.
Go Cubs Go!
And their CO coach Ricardo is exitring after next year. Dun deal.

This unique, high potency serum contains 25% of a stabilized form of Vitamin C. Daily use of High Potency C Scape Serum 25 can reduce visible signs of aging, making your skin feel and look younger within weeks of your first application.
I did a lot of research before purchasing my first bottle of this about six months ago. It's not cheap, but it's probably the best value out there for a high potency Vitamin C product with appropriate packaging. Over time, I have noticed a great improvement in both dark spots and brightness of my facial complexion. It is one of the only products my highly sensitive chest skin can tolerate, and it has improved the sun damage there. I use it with a retinoid. I find one bottle, used once or twice a day, lasts me about four months.
i returned to the product with in the past two months...after a long absence....what a difference after using c-scape for two months...My skin is brighter and more even ...........generally improved.
being a 'senior' citizen, my facial skin is very dry and wrinkles are appearing, using this product keeps my skin feeling soft and helps reduce appearance of wrinkles - this is one product I use daily and will continue to use
After cleansing and drying skin thoroughly, apply to face and neck morning and night. Follow with sunscreen in the am or moisturizer at night.

"Organic gardening is the only way to go!" shout dedicated greenies.
"Megafarms can feed the world!" shout opponents – both those who favor million-acre unicropping and the Monsanto cheerleaders.
But the results are finally in from the Rodale Institute, a 60-year-old nonprofit dedicated to organic farming whose reputation, thanks to its permanence, is above reproach. And the Rodale people have recently put forth a report, based on 30 years worth of observation, which proves that their beloved organic acres are in fact the only truly sustainable way to grow food for more and more people.
In simplest terms, organic farming simultaneously feeds people and the soil on which the food is grown, thanks to innovative (or purely traditional) methods that include cover cropping, crop rotation, no-till farming and an absence of artificial chemicals to increase the soil's fertility and prevent pests.
Surprisingly, the report is a slim 13 pages. This is next to nothing, for me anyway, after a week of reading reports ranging from 78 to a soul-crushing 123 pages long. But those 13 pages contain enough horticultural wisdom to fill volumes.
The study also makes several highly salient points, first that the key to sustainable growing is creating healthy soil. This might seem like a 'no duh' observation until one considers that most modern methods of growing food consist of endless monocropping – of soybeans, alfalfa or corn, for example – that rob the soil of those specific nutrients that each food takes up in preference to others.
For example, the Chinese variety of cabbage called Bok Choy takes tremendous amounts of potassium from the soil – at least twice as much as other standard vegetables, as in the case of corn. In the case of endive, this uptake becomes 100 times as much.
The Rodale Institute's study, conducted in side-by-side field trials over 30 years, definitively proves that organic methods of growing:
- Produce yields equivalent to conventional farming (which incorporates tilling and the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers)
- Perform significantly better than conventional farming during drought years
- Build soil using natural ingredients to make it richer and more sustainable over the long term
- Use almost half as much energy, yet are acre-per-acre more efficient
- Produce almost half as many greenhouse gases, or GHGs, as do conventional farms
- Are considerably more profitable than conventional farms
But rather than give away all the Institute's secrets about organic farming and its value in a more densely populated world faced by climate change and resource depletion, I think you should read it yourself.
After all, it's only 13 pages. Some children's books are longer.
