McLEAN, VA -- Titan Fitness has acquired two Gold's Gym locations in Reno, NV, and Sparks, NV, for an undisclosed price, the company announced this week. At 16 clubs, Titan, McLean, VA, is one of the largest Gold's Gym franchisees in the United States.
The two locations are the first in the state of Nevada for Titan, which also has clubs in North Carolina and Minnesota. However, Aaron Lieberman, chief development officer, says more acquisitions or greenfield locations in the Reno area are probable now that the company has its foot in the area. The company's goal is to increase organic growth through both acquisitions and new store development to 60 locations during the next five years.
"Our investors want us to keep doing deals where deals make sense," Lieberman says. The company's equity partners are WestView Capital Partners and National City Equity Partners.
Titan acquired the two health clubs from Brad Kloss and Kevin Gustafson. Kloss, who was majority owner of the clubs as well as of several Minnesota facilities that Titan previously purchased, will serve in a consulting role for at least a year, Lieberman says.
Titan asked all of the clubs' employees, including senior leaders, to stay with the company, and because Kloss and Gustafson will be leaving, the opportunity for promotions for some individuals is in the works, Lieberman says.
Lieberman says that the two clubs are a terrific representation of what Gold's Gym should be--as beautifully designed and equipped clubs. The Reno and Sparks Gold's Gyms include a comprehensive amenity mix with swimming pools, basketball courts, group exercise programming, a women's workout area, kid's club, tanning beds and a juice bar, plus a wide selection of cardiovascular, strength and circuit equipment.
"We have known the Titan Fitness leadership team for many years and have confidence that they are the right group to continue to grow the Gold's Gym brand in this market," Kloss said in a release from the company.

The Mosque At Ground Zero
My first instinct re the Ground Zero Mosque was: not all Muslims are terrorists, I don't equate Islam with Jihad. So at first I felt the Mosque should be built. Ironically, it's the Lying Leftists deriding Mosque opponents who convinced me we should not allow the Mosque. I'll explain.
I certainly will not slander all Muslims as terrorists. I don't suspect that any Muslim I meet is a terrorist. In fact, I assume that any Muslim I meet is almost certainly not a terrorist. I support terrorist profiling, not ethnic profiling at airports. (It's proven that Jihadists try to exploit clumsy ethnic profiling in their tactics.)
Nevertheless, the relationship between Islam and Radical Islam is not simple. Of course there is a connection, that's why we call it Radical Islam. We draw a distinction between Islam and Radical Islam, but does Al Qaida see that distinction? Does Bin Laden claim to worship a different Allah than the Mosque builders? In this 2006 e-mail, Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad speaks much more of Ummah--the global Muslim community--than of Al Qaida:
"Can you tell me a way to save the oppressed? And a way to fight back when rockets are fired at us and Muslim blood flows? ... My beloved and peaceful Ummah majority of us think that we are too weak against the west and foreign forces ... So strive my peaceful Ummah." [emphasis added]
That doesn't sound like a separatist mentality. In Shahzad's mind, he's not a Radical, he's an Islamic Hawk entreating Islamic Doves--his people!--to join Jihad.
We can't be simple-minded in the war against terrorism. Shahzad attacked us on behalf of his 'beloved and peaceful Ummah', not on behalf of a separate radical faith. Al Qaida kills on behalf of peaceful Muslims. And we are still killing peaceful members of Ummah, out of tragic necessity, in our war against Al Qaida. Plopping a Mosque two blocks from Ground Zero in the name of religious tolerance--as if religious tolerance were the only issue--is simple-minded.
NYC Mayor Bloomberg supports the Mosque at Ground Zero. Before Shahzad's capture, Bloomberg said he'd bet the bomb was planted by a Tea Party type opposed to Obamacare. What an astonishing statement! The Tea Party does not advocate violence and has no violent history. Radical Islam preaches ultra-violence, has perpetuated cataclysmic violence, and had recently attempted mass murder on Christmas. I can see the Mayor saying "We don't know who did it yet." But no, the Mayor implicated the Tea Party and virtually absolved ultra-violent Jihad of suspicion--based on what, PC? As we know, the bomber indeed turned out to be a Jihadist who proudly wished he could plead guilty a hundred times to murdering Americans. Given the infathomable stupidity of Bloomberg's statement, I'm inclined to oppose the Ground Zero Mosque solely on the grounds that Bloomberg supports it. I don't care if he is a billionaire, in the WOT, Bloomberg is a s___head.
I'm not anti-PC at all. But PC is too simple-minded a concept to guide us in wartime. So let's talk about some non-simple-minded non-s___heads. Two of the greatest liberals in history, FDR and Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, were also bipartisan architects of the Japanese internment policy (Warren as Republican Attorney General of California). Again, that's Earl Warren, the author of Miranda, and New Deal champion FDR.
Most of us know the U.S. imprisoned Americans of Japanese ancestry during WWII, not on suspicion of treason, or even a pretext of treason, but as a blanket race-based policy to make Japanese sabotage/espionage virtually impossible. (You have to do a little research to find that we also interned German-Americans in both World Wars. Oh, did I say research? Actually, I learned that watching Glen Beck.) Today, the consensus is that the Alien Enemies Act was a stain on our history, a 'fundamental injustice' for which President Reagan and Congress apologized 40 years later by statute. And yet there we were, doing the same thing after 9/11. What does it mean to say internment was a 'stain' - that Earl Warren and FDR were not aware of the moral difficulties when they did it? No, it means we're not proud that we had to resort to such awful measures in wartime. I hope we're not proud of atom-bombing Hiroshima either. Internment was not the policy of right-wing extremists or men who didn't respect the Constitution. These were iconic liberals with zenith reputations for upholding liberty. Yet to the end of his life, Earl Warren never backed off from his decision to intern.
Then there was President Truman, a great man, liberal Democrat, who came down on Communists in the Cold War like the falling debris of the WTC. Truman imprisoned domestic Reds, not for trying to overthrow America, but just for holding Marxist study groups. The Supreme Court upheld Truman's Iron Fist in Dennis vs. U.S. Among the Justices upholding Truman were Felix Frankfurter and Robert Jackson, both FDR appointees, both passionate advocates for individual rights. Today, Leftists will claim Dennis was just the product of McCarthy-era hysteria. Why say McCarthy-era, why not Truman-era? McCarthy just tried to smoke out Soviet spies. Truman--that's President Truman--busted Red eggheads simply for teaching Karl Marx. McCarthy never tried to round up all Russian immigrants in camps just for being Russian. Hollywood Blacklist? Truman threw the Reds in jail! Compared to FDR and Truman, McCarthy was Mr. Softy.
Again, these weren't fascists. FDR/Truman led the war against fascism. Jackson was our Chief Nuremburg Prosecutor. Frankfurter was a founder of the ACLU. Who would presume to lecture Earl Warren on the Constitution? These were great liberals, accomplished defenders of liberty. They did not take a simple-minded approach to liberty in wartime. Jackson wrote in Dennis: "This prosecution is the latest of never-ending, because never successful, quests ... to strike a balance between authority and liberty." Never-ending, never-successful. In other words, not simple at all.
To this day, Dennis is a problem for Radical Leftists because of its liberal authors. And though Earl Warren would later reinforce the First Amendment (in a non-war context!) against Dennis' undoubtedly problematic legacy, Warren never over-ruled Dennis or the Smith Act under which Communists were convicted. How could he? Having executed the imprisonment of an entire race of Americans, Earl Warren knew about making tough calls in wartime. To this day, the Smith Act is still on the books as a security tool if the government ever needs it. Admitting that Jackson/Frankfurter were 'sophisticated jurists' --ya think?!--Professor Wiecek claims that Red Scare demonization by J. Edgar Hoover 'anethetized' these honored liberals to the deprivation of rights. No, no. Jackson's opinion reads as informed, anticipatory analysis of Bolshevik history, strategy and tactics. It's imaginary to suggest Jackson was manipulated by right-wingers. This was a deeply liberal man facing the f_____ facts.
Fact: Al Qaida's primary weapon is propaganda/psychology. The only reason we're still screwing around with these psychopaths 10 years later is that their infrastructure is ephemeral. Jihad is a state of mind, we just can't drop a bomb on Jihad. Re the Mosque, the national security question is "what is the symbolism?" Again, whatever Michael Bloomberg thinks is almost certainly wrong and we should do the opposite. Remember, this man bet the Tea Party was more likely responsible for the Time Square bomb plot than Al Qaida. Bloomberg says the Mosque symbolizes American values. No, that's just his interpretation. There is no single interpretation of any symbol. Good God! We saw the Towers as symbols of American values! Al Qaida saw the Towers as symbols of evil. So how will AQ's mind-control subjects interpet the Mosque? No Jihadi will view the Mosque as a symbol of American goodwill while our army is in Afghanistan. Sadly we're still there and Petraeus says, sadly, we must stay indefinitely. So forget about some Hallmark photograph on AlJazeera.net swaying Jihad in our favor. Jihadist recruiters will interpret the Mosque as an Islamic flag flying over the site of Islam's greatest triumph. It's just like this, but for Jihad!
Look back at Shahzad's email: "My beloved and peaceful Ummah majority of us think that we are too weak against the west ..." Shahzad believes the majority of Muslims are peaceful because they think they are weak. To counter, he conjures images of ancient Muslim men of strength: "Then our Prophet PBUH wouldn't have fought Badar or Uhad ... Isn't that an excellent example for Muslims?"
"Isn't that an excellent example for Muslims?" Images portraying Al Qaida as triumphant over the U.S. will help Bin Laden convert peaceful Muslims into terrorists like Shahzad. Using photoshop, replace the American marines in that mythic WWII photograph with Jihadists hoisting the Flag of Quraish over Ground Zero. That is the Hallmark card Bloomberg wants to send to Al Qaida for Christmas.
Brutal Fact: U.S. troops are killing Muslims in Afghanistan. We face extremely tough choices in our rules of engagement between minimizing civilian casualties and protecting our troops. Simple-minded PC cannot give us the answer to that call. And we may face far tougher choices regarding Muslim lives in the future, if Al Qaida ever succeeds in a WMD attack. Given the brutal realities Petraeus faces, and potentially far more brutal realities a President may face one day, overlaying some simple-ass Hallmark photo over the War Against Radical Islam is offensive. It's hypocrisy. It makes no sense to me at all.
This is no way near as tough a call as rules of engagement or profiling at airports. We can find other symbolic goodwill gestures, non-problematic gestures, to make to our honored, peace-loving Muslim friends. Let Obama make another speech--what's the downside to that? But a Mosque at Ground Zero? That's a simple-minded, simple-ass Pollyana concept, quite fantastical and wrong.
And if Michael Bloomberg can't see that, that pretty much proves that I'm right. I repeat: This man bet the Time Square plot to shred American citizens with glass and metal was more likely an attack by the Tea Party than by Radical Islam. Take his advice on the stock market, but go short on Michael Bloomberg in the WOT.

Clarissa Jacobson
Hello everyone, this is the Horrormadam here with the second in my series celebrating the Gifted Heroines of Horror and Women In Film. I was honored to interview the brilliant Clarissa Jacobson on her new short film Lunch Ladies which she wrote and produced. To say I enjoyed this short would be a gross understatement, I loved it! So well written, so well acted, so well directed. The only thing I want out of it…is more! But before we get into that, a quick tease to wet your appetites!
Now that your interest is piqued, let me tell you the extraordinary premise in Clarissa's own words.
Bet you didn't see that coming, did you? To all of those naysayers out there that say there are no new ideas, I say that you aren't thinking outside the box. Clarissa's clever story is outside the box, maybe even outside of leftfield and that is what makes it so surprising and refreshing.
Let's see what else Clarissa had to say about Lunch Ladies and filmmaking:
Clarissa went on to discuss people thoughts on her influences:
I said to her how amazing that was that she was able to get what she wrote, everything that was in her head to fruition.
I was also honored to speak to Joe, who turns out to be Joe Bratcher who has been acting since 1976 in some really great shows like All In The Family, Laverne & Shirley, and The Rockford Files, and in films like The Howling and Coma. He also runs The Twin Bridges Screenwriting Salon, the longest running screenwriting classes in Los Angeles. He told me how hard Clarissa had been working and how much he loved working with her and what a great person she is. He also backed up the story Clarissa had just told me by saying that she really went to bat for him with the director. She really wanted him to create his vision for the cafeteria scene because she knew it would work.
I asked her then, it is winning so many awards you would think someone would just jump on it? Atlanta Horror Film Festival 2017 (winner: Best writer/producer and Best Director), Nightmares Film Festival 2017 (best writer/producer, director), and the South African Horrorfest 2017 (Best writer/producer and director).
I want to thank Clarissa Jacobson again for taking the time to talk to me at the
House of Tortured Souls and also thank her for writing such a unique horror/comedy short. I cannot recommend it to you highly enough readers. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I know that you will not be disappointed when you see it. All I am waiting for now is the full-length feature to be made so I can enjoy the further escapades of the Lunch Ladies! And from now on I may even find myself asking as I go through life…WWJD?
Clarissa also wanted to say a big thank you to Fire The Animal who wrote and performed the song Bury My Body, courtesy of Couch Guys Records and Antoni M. March who did the score.
And, like I said before, I don't want to give any spoilers but some fun trivia: Lunch Ladies used 10 gallons of blood, 10 gallons of slime/goo, 15 gallons of "food," 40 pounds of potatoes (200 pounds brought to set) and 13 pounds of ground meat. And Clarissa told me the meat had been left out and smelled like hell and they had to have the school back together for when the kids came in on Monday and she had to Febreeze everything to death (pun intended).
Before I send you on to the link so you can check out some more fun information on the Lunch Ladies I wanted to tell you the name of said ladies who are more Gifted Heroines of Horror. Donna Pieroni at Seretta and Mary Manofsky as LouAnne. These women were so wonderful and entertaining, so looking forward to much more from them!

Kwame Kilpatrick's mother offers Detroit home as collateral in effort to get son out of prison
Former Detroit mayor's mother Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick offers Detroit home as collateral to get son out of federal prison on bond
DETROIT – Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is behind bars and trying desperately to get out and back to Texas to see his family. His mother, former congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, is literally putting her house on the line to make it happen.
Read more: Kilpatrick seeks release from prison
Kilpatrick's defense team is asking the federal court to release him from prison on bond while he awaits sentencing. According to court documents, Kilpatrick's mother is offering to put her home up as collateral to ensure her son will return.
Local 4 cameras were rolling as Cheeks Kilpatrick made her way inside her Detroit home on Monday. However, she verbally turned away Local 4 reporter Bisi Onile-Ere at her door.
According to Zillow.com, Cheeks Kilpatrick's west Detroit home is worth $107,000, a far cry from six years ago when the house was valued at more than $300,000.
Kwame Kilpatrick's defense lawyer argues Kilpatrick is not a flight risk and has no money to flee. A judge last week thought otherwise and immediately ordered Kilpatrick to prison after a jury found him guilty on several corruption charges including racketeering.

Robin Gibb's family and friends have been playing him music while he lies in a coma in a bid to bring him round.
The Bee Gees star's brother and bandmate Barry even sang to the former chart star when he visited him in hospital in London, according to Robin's wife, Dwina.
The 62-year-old has been in a coma since late last week after suffering pneumonia following intestinal surgery. He has suffered a number of health issues in recent months, including cancer of the colon.
In an interview with Enniskillen's The Impartial Reporter (www.impartialreporter.com), Dwina said the couple's children, RJ, Spencer and Melissa, had played music to their father to "try and bring him back to us".
She added: "His brother Barry, his wife Linda and son Stephen came over from America. Barry was singing to him. Thousands of people are saying prayers every day."
Last week, Robin, who has enjoyed decades of chart hits, was unable to attend the world premiere of his orchestral work The Titanic Requiem in London, at which he had hoped to perform.

*Our videos are subtitled in several languages. Choose settings in the lower right corner of the video to turn the subtitles on and to select a language.
The World Health Organizations estimates that more than 800,000 individuals each year take their own lives. These tragedies occur all over the world; in low- and high-income areas; to women and men, and in all age groups. Although there are country-centric patterns, there does not appear to be one, definitive reason for suicide.
Eighteen years ago, Dr. Dain Heer, co-creator of Access Consciousness®, felt so depressed and hopeless that he had set a date for his suicide. "I gave the universe six months or I was going to kill myself", Dain explains. "I had two chiropractic practices, a bit of money, a wonderful girlfriend – I had everything I thought would constitute a perfect life. But, inside, I was dying."
Sign up for a free email series by Dr. Dain with tools for overcoming depression naturally.NEVER GIVE UP
However, after one single session of Access Bars®, a gentle therapy that changes brain waves to a relaxed theta state, Dain changed his entire perspective on life and realized that everything was ok. "One tool, one thing, a process that took about an hour… and it changed the energy of what I knew was possible", Dain remarks.
*Our videos are subtitled in several languages. Choose settings in the lower right corner of the video to turn the subtitles on and to select a language.
Eighteen years after it saved his life, Dain hopes these free sessions will ignite optimism, happiness, and greatness in those who have fallen into despair. "It changed my whole life. This is the experience I would like to share with you all!", he says.
Access Bars is the very core of Access Consciousness®. It was developed by the founder Gary Douglas, and is a process that allows your body to process and receive the changes you are choosing with ease.
Access Bars are 32 points on your head which, when gently touched, effortlessly and easily release anything that doesn't allow you to receive. These points contain all the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, emotions, and considerations you have stored in any lifetime. This is a possibility for you to let go of everything!
Each Bars session can release 5-10 thousand years of limitations in the area of your life that corresponds with the specific Bar being touched. This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitation in all aspects of your life that you are willing to change! How much of your life do you spend doing rather than receiving? You could have everything you desire (and then some!) if you are willing to receive lots more and maybe do a little less! Receiving The Bars will allow this and so much more to show up for you.
Today the Bars has assisted thousands of people change many aspects of their body and their life including sleep, health and weight, money, sex and relationships, anxiety, stress and so much more. At worst you will feel like you have just had the best massage of your life. At best your whole life can change into something greater with total ease.

Who is (or isn't) the lynchpin this year?
Not that we're passing ourselves off as Kreskin here. Now, if we had said "If Lyle hits into a million (or at least 24) double plays,we're screwed", then that would have been impressive.
We just looked back, and wouldn't you know, it was exactly one year ago that we made our bold assertion singling out the snaggle-toothed swatter of twin killing balls. So in the interest of symmetry, we're going to embark on our Second Annual January 28th Assessment of the Blue Jays' Offensive Lynchpin.
(And just for the record, you can spell it lynchpin or linchpin. We just prefer the "y". )
The Candidates Aren't: Marco Scutaro (because we doubt he plays more than 120 games this season); Rod Barajas (because he's not the kind of catcher that you depend on for offense); or Lyle Overbay (because there are no two-time winners in the Lynchpin Pageant).
The Candidates Could Be, But Likely Aren't: Travis Snider (because he's still 20 years old, and you don't depend on someone that young to carry your offense); Adam Lind (because he's going to have enough trouble keeping his head above water this year); Aaron Hill (because we're just going to go ahead and assume that his brains are still scrambled until he hits his 20th double of the season).
So, The Candidates (By Default) Are: Vernon Wells, Alex Rios, and Scott Rolen.
It might seem to be a bit of a stretch to include Rolen in this equation, except that his numbers in 25 games last September - after taking time off to get his shoulder right and adjusting his swing - were the best that we saw from the former All World third baseman. Rolen hit three homers, eight doubles, drove in 11 and slugged at a .523 clip. Accepting that 88 ABs make for a small sample size, we still think that an OPS in the mid .800's with 20 homers and 85 RsBI aren't beyond the realm of possibility. Numbers like that could really help spur the rest of the lineup.
As for Vernon Wells, we'd contend that he actually was the lynchpin last season. Playing in two-thirds of the team's games, he still managed 20 homers, 78 RsBI and an .840 OPS. But on a certain level, we wonder if looking to him as the offensive catalyst isn't a little too obvious. It would be like saying: "The Cardinals offense will do better if Albert Pujols has a good year." Well, no shit. Vernon is supposed to be the big bat for the Jays, and we don't think that's what we're talking about here.
Which leaves us with Alex Rios. In most categories, Rios slid back last year, seeing his numbers in homers, runs, hits, RsBI, on base and slugging fall behind his 2007 standards. (His numbers went up in stolen bases, but really, who gives a shit about stolen bases?) Looking forward to next season, we're hopeful that a full year under the tutelage of the Junta of Hitting (Cito, Gene Tenace and Dwayne Murphy) will result in better...er, results for Rios. Whatever the case, you can be pretty certain that Rios will spend the bulk of the season hitting in the top four spots of the order, so the Jays will absolutely be relying on him to get on and get in at a better clip than last year.
The way we figure it, the Jays will pretty much depend on a better season from Rios if they are going to have any shot at making miracles this year. So we guess that makes him the Miss Lynchpin 2009.
Either him, or Jason Lane.
(Or Manny. Oh shit. Did we just go there?)

Re: Manny, why'd you have to go there, man?
I got faith in Rios. I think it's Wells. And Rolen. And Overbay.
Everybody's a fucking lynchpin.

For some reason with Cito as the captain, it's not easy to picture the team tanking again (for the first half)

Hey, if we didn't add the Manny comment, we wouldn't have received any comments on this pointless screed.
And we are comment whores.

I re-read Cito's comments about Rios' potential after reading you had named him Miss Lynchpin 2009 and it made me feel ok inside.
I'm with Tao in regards to Scutaro. My reason being that I think Johnny Mac will get some time in at short.

- Torgen said...
He might get some time, but not 42 full games.
- January 28, 2009 at 9:30 PM
He always finds a way.
I don't think I'm alone in thinking that he hit the ball a lot better after Cito's arrival. Though his numbers didn't greatly improve he was hitting the ball hard and having good at-bats.

Actually, he DID have better results.
Rios under Gibby in 2008:
.270 - .328 - .372 - .700
Rios under Cito:
.308 - .343 - .533 - .876
Hit counting stats under Cito pro-rated to 162 games:
(parenthesis is "under Gibby" pro-rated)
60 doubles (37)
12 triples (5)
24 homers (7)
36 walks (59)
I'll take that "Under Cito" version every year gratefully.
And never say a word about how many walks he draws.

I recently sat down and had a conversation with a vice president at a Midwestern fitness facility company and he stressed the need to give people more than just fitness. He spoke of clubs-within-a-club, adding more recreational activities, and putting the fun back in fitness. In other words, providing a full experience for members.
This, he contended, would not only give his company a leg up on traditional fitness providers in this competitive landscape; it would also draw nontraditional members into the club and keep members longer (just a note, he cited a high 50 percent attrition rate).
"Experience" is one of the hottest buzzwords in the business market today — and it will be in the future, according to a futurist I heard speak in Florida not too long ago. This speaker, who writes for American Demographics (another Primedia Business publication), brought up another reason for providing customers with a full experience rather than a traditional "2-D" business relationship — by giving customers more for their money (even if you charge them more) you keep them happy. By turning your product or service from a commodity into a valuable experience, you are enhancing your product, company and the entire industry. Let's admit it, there is a rash of fitness becoming a commodity going on these days.
Not sure it is worth the extra effort or expense? Let's look at the often-cited example used by him (and many others — they must be doing something right), Starbucks Coffee. In this example he showed how coffee progresses through a business cycle from commodity to experience and the pricing associated with it. In his example (or some derivation of it, I wasn't taking notes) he showed coffee beans being sold for about $1. In the progression, the ground beans are sold for $2.49. Then as a brewed cup, a fraction of those beans may cost anywhere from $1 to $3. Now that same cup o' joe at Starbucks, complete with Wi-Fi, jazz music, newspapers and more, will set you back double that — even if you order it to go.
Unfortunately, too often the public sees fitness facilities as commodities. Worse than that is that professionals often treat it like a commodity too, resorting to price cuts and service cuts to help keep memberships at a too low $19 or $29 a month. In fact, I recently passed a club in New York City that was offering a one-year membership for $199 and no inititation fee. It's tough to offer service and preserve a healthy profit margin at those prices in one of the world's most expensive cities.
While the volume that commodity pricing may bring in can add value to a company's bottom line for a short term, (I'd like to see the retention rates at these clubs) a look at Club Industry's Top 100 shows a number of clubs that are successful by offering a true experience for members and charging for it, which in the end may help them survive for the long-term and bring the industry's image with them.
But I'm not just preaching empty words. Keep an eye on Club Industry's Web site and your e-mail in-boxes this fall as we help bring you the total experience in news, analysis and ideas to help you do your business better.

Line drying is back! True, electric clothes dryers aren't going to disappear anytime soon. But, as you may find simply by strolling around your neighborhood on the next sunny Saturday, it seems like more people than ever are returning to the tried-and-true combination of sun, wind, and clothesline to dry their clothing and linens. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Times reported that the trend was becoming popular among celebrities, even as some ordinary folks had to battle with local home owner associations that banned the practice as "unattractive." Hanging your laundry out to dry instead of firing up your dryer reduces your electric or gas bill, lowers carbon emissions, helps your clothing and linens last longer by eliminating some wear and tear on the fabric (saving you more money), is a great excuse to get outside, and gives your fabrics that natural, fresh outdoor smell (no need to use chemical fragrances that claim to mimic it). Even if you don't hang every wash load, each time you do, you save yourself money and help protect the environment.
There are all sorts of drying line setups, but all you really need is a length of clean, strong rope that you can tie between two trees or poles. Having a tightening mechanism of some sort is a good idea, as every type of line I've used has stretched over time. You can buy tighteners at a hardware or home improvement store; they attach to the line and make it easy to take up any slack without having to untie and retie the rope. Be sure you hang your line high enough so heavy washed items won't brush the ground. Pick a site where no one will run into the drying laundry and also consider how far you will need to carry your laundry. Avoid putting your line under trees that drip sap or where birds tend to perch. If you are short on space, you can buy a retractable clothesline, which attaches to a wall and lets you extend the line when needed, or an umbrella-style clothesline, which is like a patio umbrella but has clotheslines in place of umbrella fabric. These options require a bigger up-front investment, but you'll recoup the costs.
The clothespins
Once you have a line, you'll need some clothespins to hold your wash on it. I prefer the spring clip type, and I'm partial to the wooden kind. Buy the sturdiest ones you can find—in my experience, the cheap ones lose their grip in even the lightest breeze and fall apart easily. Keep your pins in a portable bag or other container that you can hang on the line while pinning up your laundry. But store the bag inside when not in service; if your pins are left outside, they will get dirty and may stain your wash. Plus they won't last as long. You can make a very serviceable clothespin container out of a stiff plastic milk or water jug: Cut off the bottom of the handle to make a hanging hook and cut away some of the jug's top for easy access to your clothespins inside.
Hang 'em high!
If you want to speed up the drying process, you can run your laundry through an extra spin cycle in your washer. (When I have plenty of drying time, I actually prefer to reduce the spin time and let the clothes hang outside longer, to save even more electricity.) When your laundry's been spun, grab your clothespins and tote your wash out to the line. Give each item a good snap to minimize wrinkles and attach it firmly to the line with the pins. I like to gently stretch collars, the strips down the front of buttoned shirts, and seams that are prone to shrinking, pulling them to their normal lengths before I hang them. But be careful not to overstretch anything. Fold the top edge of each item of clothing over the clothesline and clip the fold to the line. Clothing dries fastest if it's hung a single layer, with nothing folded in half over itself. If space is limited, you can scrunch things closer together; it will all just take a little longer to dry. Hang small, thin items like dress socks together in pairs to save on pins and space and overlap the corners of larger items so one pin can hold both. On windy days, use extra clips to make sure everything's especially secure.
Watch the skies (and the weather forecast).
Line drying does require some weather awareness and forward planning. If you have a covered outdoor area, such as a porch, where you can hang a rainy-day line that will expand your options. If you use an umbrella clothesline and the weather won't get worse than a gentle shower, you can hang your clothes on the inner lines, toss an old shower curtain or sheet of plastic over the hung washing, and clip this cover to the outside lines to hold it in place.
Know your fabrics.
Sunshine is a natural germ- and odor-killer and can help bleach out stains. But it can also fade bright clothing. Hang sun-sensitive laundry inside out, or in the shade if possible, and bring those articles in promptly as soon as they are dry. Certain fabrics are prone to stretching, or will show puckers where clothespins were clipped to them, so hang those on plastic coat hangers (metal ones are likely to rust and stain) and then clip the hangers to the line.
Tumble your towels.
Line dried clothes and towels don't feel the same as those that have been tumbled dry in a dryer. I grew up without a dryer and much prefer the feel of a line-dried towel on my bare back when stepping out of the shower. But you or your family members may find crunchy towels or stiff jeans a turnoff. Hanging out wash on a windy day can reduce stiffness, and so can filling the fabric softener dispenser in your washer with white vinegar. If those measures aren't enough, dry everything on the line and then toss problem items into the dryer for a few minutes — set on air fluff — with a couple of clean tennis balls or sneakers to soften them.
Eliminate lint.
While line drying does lengthen the life of your clothes by not sucking bits of them into the lint trap, it doesn't remove loose lint and pet hair (a big deal in our multi-pet household). You can toss any line dried but "furry" items into the dryer set on air fluff, with an all-natural dryer sheet, to loosen and remove offending fibers. I don't have a dryer anymore (it gave up the ghost last year, and not replacing it was part of my 2008 carbon footprint reduction effort), but I do have a secret weapon: A damp hand rubbed firmly over the surface of hairy or linty items picks up the offending fibers better than any lint or pet hair remover I've ever tried.
Extend the drying season.
Drying laundry indoors can be an option, though in humid weather it will take a long time, boost indoor humidity levels, make your AC work harder, and perhaps exacerbate any mildew problems. In dry climates and in the heating season when indoor air tends to be too dry anyway, drying lines or wooden racks in the house are a great option. I have wash lines in my basement for winter use, and I use a box fan to move air gently through the drying laundry to speed up the process. In spring and fall, you can hang wash outside on cold days; try wearing rubber dishwashing gloves (or a larger size of rubber gloves over a thin pair of winter gloves) to keep your hands warm while handling the wet items.

Many dog and cat owners like to use time-tested home remedies for minor pet ailments and conditions. Here are a few popular home remedies for pets. Be sure to consult a veterinarian before treating your pet with these or any home remedies. Only a professional veterinarian can give you guidance on safe, effective treatments for your pet's specific condition.
Apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar will not kill fleas on your pet's coat, but it may make them jump away, allowing you to comb the little pests out. Simply mix two parts apple cider vinegar to one part water in a spray bottle. Saturate the coat and comb the fleas out. This is best done outdoors.
Baking soda. Baking soda is a great all-purpose odor remover and does not contain the harsh chemicals you may find in commercial air fresheners. Sprinkle fresh baking soda over litter in the cat's litter box every other day to keep odors at bay. A baking soda paste can also help to eliminate cat urine odors from carpet.
Butter. Give your kitty about one-eighth teaspoon of butter once a week to help reduce the buildup of hairballs. In addition, limit snacks and encourage active play, as exercise can also help reduce the occurrence of hairballs.
Cedar. Pet bedding filled with cedar chips can repel fleas. Place cedar chips in outdoor spaces where your pet plays to help ward off fleas as well.
Eucalyptus. Rub essential oil of eucalyptus onto your pet's collar or leash to repel fleas and ticks. Tea tree oil will work as well. Be sure that your pet can't chew on the collar and ingest the oil.
Lemon juice. A lemon juice spray can work as a flea repellent. Boil six lemons, cut in half, in about a quart of water. Let the lemons steep for at least two hours. Strain the solution and transfer to a clean spray bottle. Spray your pet's coat. Do not spray near the face, especially the eyes.
Pureed pumpkin. A spoonful or two of canned pureed pumpkin or pureed fresh pumpkin may help relieve occasional diarrhea or constipation in dogs and cats. The pumpkin is rich in fiber, which can help improve digestive problems. Be sure to use pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. If your pet's diarrhea last more than 24 hours, consult a vet.
Salt water wash. Wash the inside walls and floor of your dog's doghouse with salt water once a week to repel fleas and ticks.
Tomato juice. A tomato juice bath is a tried and true method of deodorizing a pet that has had an unfortunate encounter with a skunk. It may take a few baths in tomato juice to remove the stench.

For those wondering whether NBC would be able to squeeze the remaining episodes of Revolution in without running into June, wonder no more!
During today's TCA session NBC chief Bob Grenblatt referred to the "the last 10 episodes" of Revolution remaining to air this season. An NBC spokesperson confirmed to The Futon Critic that indeed there will only be 10 more episodes to air this season, which brings it to a total of 20 episodes for the first season. Additionally NBC also cut the order for Deception by two episodes, from 13 to 11.

Look, I'm not gonna lie: this is just a trailer for a collector's edition of Ubisoft's tropical first-person-shooter. By rights, it should be an incredibly, dull piece of marketing hype. But, damn if it isn't pretty brilliant.
Per Ubisoft, the Insane Edition of Far Cry 3 includes the following:
• A 12cm Vaas Wahine with bobble head!
• Monkey Business - Discover Hurk, a new memorable character and quest giver, and his four unique missions (1 hour additional gameplay)
• The Lost Expeditions -Two suspenseful action packed missions totalling over 40 minutes of additional gameplay and an exclusive weapon (The Japanese gun)
• The Hunter Pack - The M700 hunting rifle and its three collector's skins.
• The Warrior Pack - A handcrafted dagger and two exclusive tribal tattoos.
• The Predator Pack - Four exclusive rare predators and a multiplayer bow.
• An 'Insanity Guide' containing hints and tips to help you survive the island
UK residents can pre-order it here. Now, the Insane Edition hasn't been announced for North America. But, surely, they wouldn't withhold it from the States. That'd be crazy.

Screencasts about Django
This page lists screencasts created to demonstrate Django.
Now the 1.0 release is out, at least now we should have some offical sort of screencasts..
Ruby on Rails had it since the beginning, and it was a essential part of their official website..
Let the people send in proposals, start a screencast competition! (Perhaps someone could sponsor something, like two years of hosting at a provider supporting Django?)
I would suggest to send in three videos to start with.. Introduction to Django, a tutorial, and one for some common but advanced tasks in Django..
And at least it wouldn't be that bad to adopt something from the "Ruby on Rails" guys: http://rubyonrails.org/screencasts
- Running django on Ubuntu using postgres SQL server
- Django in Seven Minutes - The first Django screencast! Created by Tom Dyson of throwingbeans.org. Demonstrates creating a trivial content management system from scratch using generic views. Note: this is old and out-dated - will not work with 0.95 or higher
- How to install Django at Webfaction - Screen cast created by Ian Holsman. Demonstrates how to run django in a shared hosting environment. The noise quality is a bit bad.
- How to setup Nginx with Django - There is a screencast about setup of Nginx with Django
- Creating a simple todo list - Meh, I made the cast on a whim, it's not like I'm going to delete it, so I list it. It was deleted'''
- Learn Django Series - Learn Django shows how easily and quickly you can get a web application up and running with Django.
- PyCon-Tech The Python behind PyCon Series - Doug Napoleone introduces the technology behind PyCon 2007, this year's main Python conference.
- Empty Thoughts Django Screencasts Series - Screen casts created by Michael Trier.
- Screencasts by Eric Holscher - Series of Debugging Django Screencasts.

Using a mounting bracket that is easy to align and straighten, Insteon Screwless Wall Plates give you a no-fuss fit every time. Simply remove your existing wall plate, affix the Insteon mounting plate over your switch or outlet and then snap on the trim plate.

Local governments near Indian casinos receive money to mitigate the impacts -- economic, environmental, traffic, etc. -- of their proximity to gambling.
But, in yet another example of the shell game that constitutes California local finance, a new report from the State Auditor says many localities aren't spending that money where they should. Jim Miller of the Press Enterprise, a leader in coverage of Indian gaming issues, has details here.

A group of nurses at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital want the Zuckerberg name removed because of Facebook's privacy scandals. They tell "The New York Times" patients are wondering how well a hospital with that name on it is protecting their privacy and say the name "scares" them. San Francisco General was renamed for Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, in 2015 after the couple gave the hospital and trauma center a record donation of 75-million dollars. About a dozen nurses staged a small protest last Saturday and put blue masking tape over the "Zuckerberg" on the welcome sign.

Couldn't be any freaking happier with these guys. I said it on a different thread but I'll say it again, of the 10 or so board sponsors and sources I have used these guys blew them out of the water! Customer service is obviously a number one concern with these guys.
Very happy with the entire ordering process, everything went easily and smooth, and with quick email responses.
Packaging was nice too! I've heard of people having amps break during shipping but these we're secure enough that it wasn't even a possibility.
All around I'm a happy camper over here.....and not that it's ever ideal to order anything last minute, if you're ever in a bind and need something NOW - they will without a doubt in my mind get the job done. These guys are fast and good to go.

After a slow, steady grind higher throughout the month of January, stocks hit a rough patch at the end of last week. Since then, the S&P 500 has been trading sideways.
We have noted how, based on weekly data from BofA Merrill Lynch, it appears that hedge funds have been sellers of stocks for the last several weeks, while on the flip-side of the coin, individual investors have been buying up stocks at a rapid pace over the same timeframe.
Now – coincident with the "rough patch" the S&P 500 has run into (the market hasn't really gone down, just sideways) – those roles appear to have reversed.
According to the latest data from BofA Merrill Lynch, hedge funds became net buyers of stocks, while individual investors have started selling – taking profits, BofA suggests.
The chart below shows the role reversal:
Photo: BofA Merrill Lynch
Which stocks are hedge funds buying? BofA says activity is concentrated in consumer discretionaries, industrials, energy, and healthcare:
Photo: BofA Merrill Lynch
Meanwhile, the biggest selling by private clients was concentrated in consumer discretionaries, tech, financials, and industrials.
Thus, it looks like hedge funds were willing to take the other side of those trades in at least two instances.

WARMINSTER (AP) - A coroner has ruled that a Bucks County family of four died of carbon monoxide poisoning after the husband went to the garage after an argument with his wife and started the car.
Bucks County Dr. Joseph Campbell ruled the death of Gary Reitnauer in Milford Township a suicide. Officials believe Reitnauer's wife and two daughters, ages 10 and 16, tried to rescue him Monday night and were overcome by the fumes. Campbell has ruled their deaths as accidental.
The coroner said Thursday that toxicology testing showed extremely high levels of carbon monoxide in the bodies of all four victims.
Campbell calls Reitnauer's suicide a 'selfish act' that wound up 'devastating the entire family.'
Milford Township is about 45 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Since I couldn't get Dev-C++ to work again (I went so far as to uninstall, delete every remnant of dev-c++ related stuff left over that I could see, reboot, defrag, reboot, redownload the setup again but from a different mirror, install to a different directory than the one I installed to before, create a new project whose only code was
and then compile that, and it would still crash at that point. See my last thread for more details on that.) I decided to just try a different compiler.Code:int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; }
I am now trying to use the Digital Mars compiler, but with no success. From what I read in its readme, it appears to be a command line compiler rather than an IDE, and it tells how to use it. I tried to do what it said, but it just gave a one-line example of how to use it. Whenever I try to use it, it says "Fatal error: unable to open input file 'test' --- errorlevel 1"
So I have a few questions.
Is Digital Mars a good compiler worth using?
How do I use it to compile, link and build? Do I even have to go through each step, or will it do the whole process in one simple command like Dev-C++ did?
Is there any place where I can find more information on Digital Mars and how to use it? Its own site offers little help.

How I Saved 4 Hours Per Day Using RescueTimePosted: December 3, 2012 Filed under: Guest Posts, Lifehackin' Links 1 Comment
It's not easy growing up in a culture of distraction.
You've noticed it—it's never been harder than today to focus on one task at a time. As I sit in this cafe, writing this article, my phone is buzzing with Facebook notifications, Twitter mentions, and–oh, hey! my Klout score just increased!
Fifteen years ago, none of these distractions existed. If you wanted to waste time at home, your options were to read, eat, or maybe watch television—if anything was on. Now, it's never been easier to spend a day (or a week, or even a year) doing absolutely nothing.
What do you do online every day? Where do you waste the most time? Everyone has a different answer, but most people honestly have no idea. RescueTime was invented to help people track their wasted hours and determine what they should stop doing. So, ask yourself now—"Where do you waste your time every day?"
Growing up in an Indian family, I've always been driven to be more productive, but I've never been able to succeed. Recently, I sat down with Tim Ferriss, the master of productivity, to talk about how to get more done—and I realized that I was having the same conversation I had when I was thirteen years old.
"I just feel like there is nothing I can do. I waste all my time chatting and browsing reddit. Imagine what I could do if I just learned to focus!"
"Remember man," said Tim, "that you're going to die. Do you want to want your time spent to have been wasted—or spent producing something? Focus on output."
Small Changes That Cause Big Effects
I don't want my life to be filled with unmemorable Skype chat and funny cat pictures. It's a waste of living. So, I began to undertake a series of productivity experiments to determine what actually works—what small changes could I make to effect massive change. Over the past year or so, I've used RescueTime to measure the results of my online productivity. The results have been astounding.
I want to discuss a few experiments that I've done, and let you know that I'll be conducting several more over the next few months. I'll be revealing my stats, writing about what works and what doesn't, and attempting to help others join the movement to improve their habits.
If you're interested in following along, sign up over at http://hackthesystem.com/rescuetime.
Hiring a Craigslist Slapper
I spend a lot of time online every week, and the majority of it is unproductive.
38% productive. That means that almost 19 hours of my time last week were wasted—disappeared, never to be seen again.
So, what could I do to fix this? I decided to outsource an authority figure and hire someone to watch over me, and if need be, hurt me.
I used Craigslist to hire a girl to sit next to me. Her job? Every time I used Facebook, she would slap me in the face.
Yes I know. I'm weird. And yes, she actually slapped me.
But the results were astounding. My average RescueTime productivity skyrocketed from 38% to 98%.
But not only did my productivity skyrocket—the quality of the work I did skyrocketed as well. Kara forced me to complete my first guest post, The Sex Scandal Technique. She also helped me push through an application for a secret project that I applied to—an application that won, out of hundreds of applicants.
It was certainly a funny experiment, but it also seemed to be relevant around the world—the HackTheSystem article I wrote about it ended up being featured in NPR, on ABC News, in the Telegraph, Venturebeat, and the front page of Yahoo. Clearly, the whole world recognizes the amount of time we waste using Facebook.
The Bet-Switch Mechanism — $50 For A Cookie
[Before we move on, I want to remind you—to follow along with future RescueTime experiments, please sign up at http://hackthesystem.com/rescuetime . I'll help you improve your productivity—guaranteed.]
Another of my most successful experiments involved using competition to improve my productivity and my health.
I decided that I wanted to lose 10 lbs. So I made a rule—every time I ate something that wasn't healthy—anything that wasn't meat, vegetable, or eggs—I owed my friend $50 / item.
I wrote an article where I described what happened: The Bet Switch Mechanism: The One Simple Social Tactic That Will Get You In The Best Shape Of Your Life. The difference was astounding—instead of looking at food and saying 'Oh, one chip won't hurt,' my mental processing was completely changed. I began to look at a bag of chips and say 'I'm not paying $50 for that chip, no way!'
I've used the Bet Switch Mechanism to write guest post articles and articles on my own blog, too. My friend will give me a deadline for an article, and if I don't write it, I owe her $500. In fact, I have a bet on the article I'm writing right now—if I don't finish it today by 8pm, I owe Robby from RescueTime $50!
Betting allows you to make a competitive game out of a goal, and makes it much more fun to play.
You're just one step away from skyrocketing your productivity
Over at my site, Hack the System, I talk about small hacks that can cause big changes. I'm really excited to announce that RescueTime and Hack the System are partnering to help readers become more productive.
If you head over to my site using this special link, you'll be able to sign up for the Hack the System productivity challenge. I'll be testing several experiments to see how they affect my productivity, and inviting you to join along.
I've also created a special gift for RescueTime readers, The Minimalist Guide to Hacking Your Habits. It's my special gift—a worksheet that will help you identify exactly what's holding you back, and how you can overcome your barriers.
Thanks a lot, and don't forget to join in over at http://hackthesystem.com/rescuetime .

Locky.au necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 109 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
"Southern Cross Blacksmithing"
The business is an online blacksmith's supplier (ie tools etc) based in Australia for the Asia pacific region, providing trade information (forum, gallery etc), and a manufacturer of hand forged ironwork ranging from architectural elements, sculpture, furniture, gates, home wares, knifes etc. A traditional blacksmith business to "artesian blacksmith". There is a potential that this may also evolve into a sub discipline of a bladesmithing, i.e. forging knifes, swords etc.
Australia for the Asia pacific region
Traditional Blacksmiths are typically viewed as mature males; this is somewhat stereotypical view as now woman and men of all ages are participating in this lost art form as an Artist Blacksmith.
Creativity, warmth, strength and incessant ironwork elements are the hallmarks of today's Artesian Blacksmith.
There are two deliverables first is a logo comprising of the business name & artwork, then just the logo which can work in silhouette (cut out & or metal stamp). This would depend on the designs but I would image that the business name with the design would be too long for a "touchmark" (metal stamp). The deliverables would be:
1. Logo – artwork with business name
2. Logo with artwork only – artwork only for touchmark i.e. metal stamp for marking ironwork produced (graphic to function in silhouette)
Logo uses: Web site art work. "Touchmark" – logo stamp (marking ironwork produced). Signage from metal cut out i.e. Silhouette to a painted sign. Branding from clothing to novelty goods.
Artwork deliverable formats:
1. Designer, Developer & Print Specialists
2. Print Ready Formats
3. Website optimised image formats
Example of industry themes and concepts are provided below.
