Ford and Google are teaming up, in a move that may bring the autonomous car one step closer to reality.
While the technology that would allow cars to operate without a human driver accelerates at a rapid pace, the government regulations necessary before they can be implemented have moved along at a slower clip. Ford has joined Google as part of the Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets. The group presented at a hearing held by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, as guidelines are developed to govern the use of driverless vehicles. Ford and Google are joined in the group by Uber, Lyft, and Volvo. Other carmakers testified as well, including Toyota and General Motors.
The goal is not only to establish guidelines for the deployment of autonomous vehicles, but to increase the safety of everyone on the road. While features such as automatic braking are becoming more commonplace (and we recently noted the efforts to make this an industry standard here), there are hopes that completely autonomous cars could eliminate traffic fatalities entirely.
Expect more hearings such as this one in the future, and for more automotive and technology companies to become involved as the legislation required to allow driverless cars on the road comes closer to fruition.

Hollywood Hypocrisy

The Internet creates a lot of issues with respect to copyrights and trademarks. New Media and profits off of online ads has created controversies with our favorite script writers. Here's a nice comic that pokes at the corporations that only seem to care when their bottom line is hurting.

n-g I agree, the problem is that this is a sciaol class who's principal means of communication with the public is the lie. Everything about global warming is a lie. The science, the politics and the journalism. The crash in UK belief came about because of climategate and an avalanche of moronic propaganda, some it (e.g. 10:10) firmly aimed at the professional classes with promises of champagne breakfasts and luvvy celebrities. The education system is often sold to students in ways much less honest than Madison Avenue would attempt. I have a friend who was an AGW enthusiast until the second year of her geology degree (advertised as being in the top 5 in the UK ) and it dawned on her that the people who were messing her about were very much of the same sub species as Michael Mann and Phil Jones. I read her emails from the head of department and they were pretty awful.They bend the truth in great part because they think they have authority, and that they know best. They get a cleaner planet, the higher electricity costs won't bother them and damn the peasants. That is the wicked irony of Mann and his pals supporting the Democrats.

Ron Paul isn't as libertarian as evyorene sees him he's more states rights. He supported/s Texas ban on sodomy which is probably less libertarian than being an interventionist. Quotations because the views you claim are mostly from Johnson's first run in New Mexico his libertarian philosophy has matured greatly and I currently believe he is more libertarian than Paul. Though his economic stances still have a little to go.

Ryan, I am an assistant DA in Texas, and share many of the same idcelogiaal struggles. While I dont feel that marijuana SHOULD be illegal, the fact remains that it is. The oath I took is to uphold the laws of Texas and ensure that justice is done. It is something that I deal with day in/dayout. The hardest part to reconcile is that those who actually make the laws, who have the power to remove these restrictions, rarely use that power wisely. Every legislative session, new crimes are created, not because we necessarily need them,but because it suits a legislator's agenda. Seeking justice in this system can be frustrating. However, the discretion I wield in things like sentencing and charging is where I truly feel like I can do the right thing.Luke n beaumont.

Fresh Kefir Grains work faster than dried/dehydrated grains
New batch of kefir water brewing, ready to drink soon !
Today, traditional authentic water kefir [Japanese Water crystals] is easily prepared at home. A few slices of organic lemon, some dried fruit, such as white figs, and sugar are combined in a clean suitable glass container, in addition to the kefir grains.
Needed Items:
- Glass jar with tight fitting lid
- Organic dried fruit or fresh peeled fruit. Figs, dates, and bananas work well. See Tips & Tricks for more
- Organic lemon or other acidic fruit. Do not use liquid lemon or bottled lemon juice, this will kill the active cultures in the water kefir starter.
- Organic cane sugar
- Filtered water or good quality well water
- Real water kefir grain starter
For the amount of grain that we send you can start making a half gallon of water kefir beverage.
To start, open package of water kefir and place in clean container. Add enough clean, non-city water to fill container as seen in the picture to the left. Then add between 2 tbsp to 1/4 c sugar. The last step is to add dried, fresh, or canned fruits of your choice and a slice of lemon.
Cover the container with the lid or use an airlock. Loosen lid enough to allow carbonation to vent but not enough to allow fruit flies/gnats to enter the brewing vessel.
The amount of fruit and sugar used has no hard rules and is more for taste. If you like it sweet like soda...use more sugar.
The contents are left to stand at room temperature for approx. 24 to 48 hours. Then, the water kefir grains are strained out in order to separate and retrieve the kefir grains from the liquid-kefir. The grains are added to a new batch of lemons, sugar, and figs or other dried fruit, and the process is simply repeated.
This simple process can be performed on an indefinite basis... for kefir grains are forever. The strained liquid-kefir may either be consumed fresh or refrigerated for later use. You may allow the kefir to ripen at room temperature over a period of days before consuming. Keeping the lid tightly close will help to hold more carbonation.
To start a batch of kefir, add a wedge of fresh organic or 1/2 lemon if making a large batch (we recommend organic lemons because commercial lemons contain wax, colorings, & pesticides to name a few things), 2 dried white figs or equivalent organic dried fruit, and 2 to 6 tablespoons of organic cane sugar into a clean glass container. Add some distilled, filtered, or bottled water and stir solution until sugar is dissolved. Top off with enough water to make 1 quart to ½ gal batch. Then add your kefir grains from the last batch plus the saved liquid, too. Leave at room temperature. Your water kefir will be ready in 24 to 48 hours depending on the average temperature. A great indication is when the fruit floats the kefir is ready.
If this is your first batch, prepare as directed above, removing the kefir culture from packaging, pour entire contents into clean glass jar with tight fitting lid.
Stir contents by swirling the container.
To start the process over, simply pour off portion to drink, leaving the grains and enough old liquid to cover the grains. In most cases, we find that the grains do not have to be rinsed. You'll want to transfer the grains and liquid to a clean container. To keep the process going, make recipe from above in a clean container and add the water kefir grains to start the process over again and again. You only need to rinse the grains if there is to much yeast build up in the bottom of the container. Do this by poring off the old liquid and adding fresh water. Swirl the container to rinse the grains, allow grains to settle and then pour off the water.
Do not allow the grains to sit without fresh supply of food; just like you they need a daily food supply! We recommend making smaller batches through the week vs trying to make one large batch. The finished product does not store for long, due to high yeast content, so fresh is best. Make up a new batch right after one batch is ready. Or you may pour right from the container, too. Keep the water kefir covered with a tight fitting lid to build up carbonation. However, caution must be taken not to explode the glass jar. During the first 24 hours, you may have to vent the container to relieve pressure.
Place in a box or cupboard for safety.
If the kefir is culturing to fast you may put it in the refrigerator to slow down the process or if you cannot attend to the grains for a few days. This will make them culture much slower than if out at room temperature.
As your grains grow in size, they will break apart and make new grains. As the grains increase in number you will be able to culture more lemon/sugar solution.
Water kefir makes a wonderful
vegan pro-biotic lemonade!
Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions on culturing your water kefir.grains.
1. More Carbonation...
Water kefir taste the best when fizzy. To build up carbonation, the brewing container must have a tight fitting lid.
Be careful, however, that the container does not explode. To reduce risk, crack the lid just a bit to allow a little pressure to escape. You can finish off the brewing in plastic bottles if desired.
2. Safety & pH...
Some recipes don't call for the lemon or other acidic fruit; however, this is your safety factor. Keeping the pH of the water kefir below 4.6 will insure that the brew is safe from pathogens.
3. Growing More Grains...
If you wish for the water kefir grains to grow and multiply, you need to feed them some extra nutrients. This step is not needed if the kefir is producing enough water kefir for you to consume. We recommend a Cal-Mag supplement and organic black molasses to assist
in producing more grains. You can
also use some natural coral or wash
and steam eggs shells, too.
4. Fruits to Use…
You can use any unsweetened, non-sulfured dried fruit you like to flavor your water kefir beverage. White or mission figs, dates, or other natural sweet fruit
work well. You can also use fresh fruit that can be peeled, such as oranges, bananas, or even pomegranates! We have even used fresh blackberries
Fresh banana works well, but, must
be removed after 12 hours or it will
turn to mush. Only fruit known not
to work are cherries, maybe to anti-properties contained within?
5. Taking a Break...
If you need to take a break from making kefir, place the kefir grains in a small jar with two teaspoons of sugar, top off with water, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer term storage, the kefir grains can also be dehydrated, placed in an sealable container or bag and kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Dehydrated grains may take a few rounds before becoming fully
active again.
Difficulty Level 1
Anyone can make this very easy kefir culture. Simple to manage, Make a simple recipe of lemon, dried fruit, and a little sugar each week. Leave at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, or until carbonation forms. Pour off the amount to consume or full your glass right from the container. Strained product can be drank raw as a refreshing natural soda. Needs to be feed/cultured at least once a week. No need to refrigerate.
Comes with fresh organic grown kefir grains in liquid starter packet, complete instructions and recipes online. See instruction sheet section for need items.

Monsoon Drain Kitty
One of the stray girls in the back lane has decided our back door is the best place to keep her kittens. We've given her a Tiger Beer box, extra rations, and have half closed the outer screen door so that the new brood don't get wet when it rains.
This black girl is a sensible sort. She's decided that we're good people, and always allows us to pat her. I've picked her up a few times and helped her with some small problems (like a sore patch on her paw, or the occasional split claw) and she has never scratched me.
Now she's a Mum, we're allowed to change the Tiger Beer box every second day, and admire her kittens briefly. Sweet as the black girl is, she is a Monsoon Drain Kitty at heart, so we don't dare admire too much in case she gets worried and moves her babies.
If they survive, we'll be looking for homes in 6 weeks time!

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Three seasons into her role as lead designer for Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton still can't shake Gaia, the all-encompassing mother of Earth, off her back. Perhaps it is that deep affinity Burton has to the mythological roots of feminine dictations that has allowed her to not only carry the weight of her former boss' legacy so quickly, but has helped to anchor the brand in a vision of feminine strength that women, and buyers, find more accessible.
Miu Miu Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
She designed it in two weeks. Actually, 13 days. From the close of her Prada show in Milan straight on through the entire course of Paris Fashion Week, Miuccia Prada designed, sealed and delivered the entire collection of her little sister brand Miu Miu.
Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
After a dark and tight lineup for fall, Marc Jacobs and his Louis Vuitton team did a huge about-face with a sugary and light collection for spring. Jacobs, a big fan of the fashion show-in-the round model, set up an enormous carousel in the Louvre's Cour Carree, his delicate and very lady-like models sitting side-saddle, some of them looking like picture-perfect Monet subjects with their parasols in hand.
Rick Owens Spring 2012 – Beauty Report
Bleached brows and clean skin exaggerated the monochromatic collection, giving the models an almost ghostly quality, ethereal and pure, pulling the look far away from sex and keeping it clean.
Rick Owens Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
While most designers who toyed with minimalism did it a season ago, Rick Owens scaled the heights of that trend, bringing it to its apotheosis in his latest ready-to-wear.
Missoni Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
There's many a watchword in the world of Missoni, 'knits' being the prime. 'Patterns' is another, but so is 'saturation'. Angela Missoni's real wizardry lies in how she pulls varying textures, prints and techniques to create looks that are always stringently representative of the Maison.
Marni Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The great thing about Marni is that its one of the few great houses that refuses to rest on its laurels. Each season Consuelo Castiglioni takes a dramatic chance and comes up the winner every time. Marni is consistently good.
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The big chunky earrings that fit the food theme appropriately helped carry that old school Mambo Italiano vibe (As well as the song itself). There was also no way to look at the burgeoning prints and the inviting, bright colors and not see a heavy take over of optimism in these clothes.
Emilio Pucci Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
For spring Dundas hit the books, the Pucci archives to be specific, and felt himself particularly drawn to the Brigitte Bardot/boheme fevered era of the early 1970s and splattered his gypsy skirts and peasant cropped tops in an archival print, even hand embroidering it on a house signature white maxi dress and a hand crocheted caftan with fringed ends.
Emilio Pucci Spring 2012 – Beauty Report
Lisa Butler, artist for this show explains, "It's all about the eye, but we don't want it to be too neat or too smoky. It's very loose, very relaxed, and quite wild."
Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
While other designers look outward for inspiration, finding creative ammunition in Jazz Age flappers, Hawaiian floral and tribal prints, Bottega Veneta's Tomas Maier looks inward, finding that the most consistent and surefire location to hunt down inspiration is in works of art themselves.
Jil Sander Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Raf Simons has a real talent for answering equally to both men and women's sartorial dreams. The themes and motifs he explores in his eponymous line and for the treasured house of Jil Sander tend to catch on with other designers like wildfire.
Trussardi Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
With Trussardi celebrating its centennial this year, it was time to reevaluate things. The brand, whose bread and butter is its luxury leather goods, joined the game of creative director musical chairs that never seemed to end this year and ditched Milan Vukmirovic who had been at the helm since 2008.
Prada Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Miuccia Prada has been stricken with a discernable strain of sweetness this season. Her latest outing for Prada was laden in 1950s nostalgia and tongue-in-cheek housewifeyness, but not without its equal plays with the subversive.
Gucci Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Something is happening at Gucci these days. For the past few seasons, it 's felt like no matter what the theme, Frida Giannini has to bash you over the head with it.
Gucci Spring 2012 – Beauty Report
Internationally acclaimed makeup artist, Pat McGrath, creates a "tougher, stronger look" for Frida Giannini's 1920's influenced presentation featuring striking blacked out eyes and a flawless face.
Mary Katrantzou Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
After two consecutive seasons chockfull of her now signature trompe l'oeil dresses, not to mention two seasons of radical praise from the entire fashion world, Mary Katrantzou approached this third season in the spotlight with an understood concern.
Givenchy Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Riccardo Tisci always seems to have an animal in mind when he's designing a collection for Givenchy. Cranes, rottweilers, panthers – they've all made it down this runway.
Givenchy Spring 2012 – Beauty Report
Glowing faces were clean, dewy and fresh. Cheeks were lightly bronzed, as if only slightly brushed by the rays of the sun. The only ornamentation to the eyes were two silver sequins, one for each eye, cut in half centered on the top and bottom lid like tiny sparkling moons.
Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The heavy handcraft touch was expected, given the sensational menswear showing three months prior. All of the same experiments with geometric wood carving appliques, the weaving and braiding, the heavy beading was all here, and played just as strongly in the womenswear.
Christopher Kane Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Were I Christopher Kane, I'd be terrified to follow up the ingenious collection he showed for Fall/Winter 2011 back in February. His liquid pouched dresses and handbags are the stuff collectors' dreams are made of and they signaled a true forward-thinking stance that not many would dare to muster in a scenario as grandiose as London Fashion Week.
Giles Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
A set of photographs that the late Sir Beaton snapped of his two sisters, Nancy and Baba, entitled "Symphony in Silver" was the initial spark, so to speak, of Giles Deacon's latest outing for Giles. Warhol's imitated to death 'Silver Clouds' took the baton from Beaton for a show that was laced in theatricality from opener to closer.
Acne Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Jonny Johansson's latest for Acne is the fruit of a recent inspiration-seeking vacation in Marrakech. Not wanting to go too easily with the grain, he worked against the trite interpretations spawned from such a place, not just with mania, but something more akin to verve.
Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
This latest from Calvin Klein Collection saw Francisco Costa at his most paired down. While many designers felt around minimalism for Fall 2011, opting for saturated brights and piñatas of prints for spring and summer, Costa took nudes, metallics and black and made dresses, skirts, coats with a supremely subtle hand, constructing pieces that were far from being as simple and stripped down as they might first appear.
Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Flappers. Cowgirls. Industrial factory workers. They all came down Marc Jacobs' stunningly constructed Edison bulb lit saloon runway at the Lexington Armory. If Jacobs has a knack for one thing in this industry, it's showmanship. He's one of the few designers who truly knows how to put on a show and his vision is always holistically considered. With Philip Glass' 70s opera 'Einstein on the Beach' serving as runway music – it was hard to get the show's pace, and the tune, out of your head once the gold lame curtain closed.

i ordered an hp ipaq hx4700 and then canceled the order two times at ecost.com because i just couldn't bring myself to pay that much money for a mobile device that wasn't also a phone. benn600, a regulator contributor at the ipaq hq site, looks to be one of the first in the world to get an actual shipped model, and he has posted quite an extensive review that he keeps updating regularly as he responds to questions and gets more time to play with the device that he received late last week from buy.com. the device does look quite nice and also quite large, but i am going to hold out until the dell and asus models are released before i decide if a vga device is worth the cost. i look forward to a vga phone edition device in 2005, when all my desires may be found in a single device.

|pocketnow.com review too (10:39am est mon sep 27 2004)
pocketnow.com just posted their usual high quality review of the hx4700 here ().
they included full benchmark testing and some great images and are very happy with the device. – by palmsolo
|just remember, no diagonals (12:26pm est mon sep 27 2004)
yep, that's right. the hx4700 control pad (which can actually control the cursor on screen, a feature i've been waiting for since i first bought an ipaq) suffers from the same problem the old ipaqs did: no diagonal controls.
for most users, this is fine, but for those who play games on their ipaqs, you may want to wait until the next iteration. the screen is gorgeous, and perfect for gaming, but to play games that have diagonal controls, you have to buy the joystick accessory that plugs into the serial port.

A state bill to expand the definition of justifiable homicide in South Dakota to include killing someone in the defense of an unborn child was postponed indefinitely Wednesday after an uproar over whether the legislation would put abortion providers at greater risk.
The House speaker, Val Rausch, said that the legislation had been shelved, pending a decision on whether to allow a vote, amend the language or drop it entirely. A spokesman for Gov. Dennis Daugaard said, "Clearly the bill as it's currently written is a very bad idea."
The bill, approved by the House Judiciary Committee last week on a 9-to-3 party-line vote, establishes in part that "homicide is justifiable if committed by any person in the lawful defense of such person, or of his or her husband, wife, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant, or the unborn child of any such enumerated person."
The phrasing caused concern and disbelief on both sides of the abortion debate, with activists in the abortion rights and anti-abortion movements calling the language poorly conceived at best, and perhaps an incitement to violence. The bill was cheered, though, by those anti-abortion activists who argue that the use of violence is justified to stop doctors from carrying out abortions.
Dr. Marvin Buehner, of Rapid City, S.D., who is the only doctor in the region to provide abortions for women whose health and safety are at risk, said he was shaken by the measure.
"Once you get the sense that the Legislature will tolerate violence against abortion providers, even if the legislation is not enacted, it crosses the line into intimidation," he said.
Troy Newman, leader of Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group, said he was "shocked" when he read the bill, which he worried could encourage violence. "The pro-life movement, by definition, is in favor of protecting human life from the moment of conception to natural death, and we reject all forms of violence," he said.
Republican supporters of the legislation said it was being misinterpreted as an anti-abortion measure, The intent, they say, is to afford equal protection to unborn children in existing law.
But Sarah Stoesz, president of the local Planned Parenthood chapter, said she also doubted the sponsors' claims that the legislation was not intended to be an anti-abortion measure. "It's a very clear shift in the conversation," she said. "We have never had a public conversation about whether it's right to kill a doctor."
Several people convicted of killing abortion providers have tried unsuccessfully to use the justifiable homicide argument.
Dave Leach, an Iowa anti-abortion activist, praised the bill, saying it could end abortions in South Dakota by scaring away doctors or by establishing grounds for someone to kill those who stay.
"There may be something I'm overlooking, but from all appearances, this bill would certainly justify an individual taking the life of an abortionist in order to save human lives," he said.

It's the moment that's been a long time coming—Harry Styles has released his first piece of solo music outside of One Direction. Verdict? It was worth the wait.
While the rest of One Direction have been busy making babies—actual ones and in the form of new solo material—Styles has been silent on the music front, instead spending much of 2016 filming the upcoming Christopher Nolan historical drama Dunkirk. There were rumblings that Styles had finally made his way back to the recording studio, but little information about what form his new music would take had been leaked.
In March, Saturday Night Live revealed their April line-up, which included Harry Styles as the musical guest on April 15. Finally providing fans with window of time for new music, Styles began promoting his new single in March, including airing a commercial announcing the title "Sign of the Times" during X Factor in the UK.
Now Styles has dropped his highly anticipated first single "Sign of the Times," an epic six-minute track that draws inspiration from David Bowie, Queen and late Beatles. The soaring single, which will surely open Styles up to a whole new audience, tugs on listeners heartstrings, with the lyrics feeling both universal and timely. Piano, string instruments and a backing choir all add to the build of urgency throughout—with Style's vocals sounding stronger than ever, while still giving off a gripping air of vulnerability.
Aside from Zayn Malik, who left One Direction prior to the hiatus to release his own unique and impressive blend or R&B pop fusion music, the rest of the Directioners haven't strayed very far from the boy band's sound. Louis Tomlinson's track "Just Hold On" with Steve Aoki sounds like a 1D B-side, while Niall Horan's "This Town" had fan's double checking the credits to see whether the guitar ballad was written by frequent One Direction collaborator Ed Sheeran.
As for Styles, "Sign of the Times" takes his music in a totally new direction, ironically enough, although the singer told BBC Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw that he did consult with Sheeran. "I played him (Sheeran) a few songs after the album was finished. He didn't say that he didn't like any but he did like one song that isn't on the album. So I did have a bit of a minute of like hmmm no but…"
Although Styles didn't reveal in the interview when the full album would be released, he did say it's his new favourite music to listen to. "In the least weird way possible, it's my favourite album to listen to at the moment. I think if you put out something that you don't stand behind and really love, then if it doesn't go well then you could regret not doing what you wanted to do."
Styles' SNL performance likely means fans will hear a second single from the upcoming solo album, which we're pretty sure will top the charts. Styles is less confident. "Whereas if nothing happens with it, I love it, you know, so I think that's what you should do," said Styles. "I think that's been my favourite part to the overall thing is listening to the album and making all the changes – it has been fun to watch over it all."
Much like Robbie Williams' departure from Take That and ensuing solo career, it appears Styles will follow in the former boy banders footsteps, using his solo material to show the theatrical and mature side of his music, stunning listeners with his big vocals and musical arrangement. Like Williams and more recently Malik, Styles' solo endeavors reveal that what fans saw in One Direction was only a small sliver of his talent. To see how great Harry Styles is, he had to do it his way.
Styles has been spotted filming a music video for "Sign of the Times," with paparazzi shots showing the singer suspended from a helicopter. The video will likely be impressive judging by the big budget stunt, but at this point it doesn't even matter. Styles' musical coming out this morning was more than enough to cement him as one of the most exciting artists of 2017.

NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
Current News and Analysis of the
United States Rare Coin Market
November 30, 2009
Gold Soars to $1,190
The Money Show in Houston, Texas this week is the last major show of the year. Dealers from all over the country are taking advantage of this venue and a hot metals market to try to locate as much of the Modern bullion coins they can find. Demand is so strong that dealers are willing to pay in advance of the current premiums just to satisfy their customers. Heritage Galleries will host their last Signature Sale of the year and it is sure to attract thousands of active bids.
Little has changed since the last Moderns Price Guide was published three weeks ago, that is, for Modern Cents through Presidential Dollars. Most issues are steady with little discounting at this time. There are some adjustments in Proof Washington Quarters. Several of the Ultra Cameo Proof 70 issues are lower for dates 1977 to 1997. In the State Quarters Ultra Cameo PR70, most of the adjustments are higher Market prices. When it comes to the bullion issues, there is quite an array of increases. With metals moving higher each of the last three weeks, all bullion coins have moved up. Last week Gold hit the $1,190 mark before falling back to the current level of $1,175. Most of the dealers on the teletype networks are in the market for all bullion related modern issues.
Over the last couple of months, we have found various declines for Modern Commemorative Halves and Dollars. One of the problems with these issues is that the populations of the highest grades can increase on occasion. This tends to place more coins into the marketplace and, if demand stays constant, prices will fall because of a lack of current support. We are seeing this in many of the Modern series.

You can see and study the numerous Grand Canyon archeological artifacts to experience the significance of the historic place.
Split-twig Figurines – Grand Canyon's Most Fascinating Archeological Artifacts
The split-twig figurines are one of the most fascinating archeological artifacts found in the Grand Canyon region. The figurines were made when people from thousands of years ago carefully folded single twigs and split them in the middle. These were recovered from remote caves and are believed to be from a time anywhere between two- to four-thousand years ago.
Grand Canyon National Park Archeology River Monitoring Program
The river monitoring program generates data that is used to study ongoing impacts on historic sites. The program also implements curative measures for historic properties that have sustained damage.
Vanishing Treasures Program
The Vanishing Treasures Program aims to conserve architectural remains via well thought-out preservation and research endeavors. Forty five National Park Service areas are part of the program and Grand Canyon National Park is one of these areas.
Bright Angel Pueblo Exhibits
Set up at the bottom of the canyon, these exhibits provide delightful insight into the Puebloan site where the Pueblo people lived around a thousand years ago.

Bauer Financial gives MedFed its highest 5-Star Superior Rating for 103 consecutive quarters
Posted 3 years ago
Bauer Financial, the nation's leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm, has again recognized Medina County Federal Credit Union as one of the strongest financial institutions in the nation with a Five-Star Superior Rating.
Bauer has recommended MedFed for 103 consecutive quarters. Less than 8% of the nation's banks can claim the distinction of this level of repeated 'Recommended' status.
To earn Bauer's Five-Star Superior Rating, MedFed must excel in areas of Capital Adequacy, Return on Assets, Return on Equity, Delinquent Loan Levels, Profitability and other criteria of stability and success.
"We are proud of our continued Superior ratings, especially because they recognize the value that MedFed delivers to our member/owners in Medina County," said President/CEO Pete Grimm. "As a cooperative community credit union, our 'profit' is returned to our members in the form of better rates and improved services. Our staff and board of directors work very hard to provide a secure place in Medina County for loans, savings and financial services."
Only 58 percent of credit unions in Northeast Ohio are recommended, according to Bauer Financial.
Among the 109 credit unions in Northeast Ohio that were evaluated, 36 percent have the top five-star rating for financial strength, and 22 have a four-star rating. Bauer considers those to be "superior" and "excellent," and recommends them to consumers.
It should be noted that Bauer didn't rate 32 percent of the credit unions in Northeast Ohio, either because they have less than $1.5 million in assets or are privately insured, instead of being insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
"One of the great benefits of being a credit union member is that you are also an owner," Paul Mercer, president of the Ohio Credit Union League, told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Credit unions are undoubtedly safe and sound. And, the beauty of the member-owner model is that if a member is curious about the financial well-being, they are empowered to inquire with the CEO or a volunteer board member at any time."
BauerFinancial, of Coral Gables, Florida, the nation's leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm, has been reporting on and analyzing the performance of U.S. banks and credit unions since 1983. No institution pays BauerFinancial to rate it, nor can any choose to be excluded. Consumers may obtain star-ratings by visiting www.bauerfinancial.com.

Equifax data breach affects 143 million people. Here is how to know if you are affected.
Posted 2 years ago
Equifax, one of three nationwide credit-reporting companies, said Thursday that 143 million people could be affected by a recent data breach.
In the breach, cybercriminals stole information including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and the numbers of some driver's licenses. Additionally, credit card numbers for about 209,000 people were exposed, as was "personal identifying information" on roughly 182,000 customers involved in credit report disputes.
Equifax gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers, and lenders.
Equifax will not be contacting everyone who was affected, but will send direct mail notices to those whose credit card numbers or dispute records were accessed.
The company established a website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, where you can check to see if your personal information may have been stolen. Consumers can also call 866-447-7559 for more information.
Experian is also offering free credit monitoring to all U.S. consumers for a year.
Credit Unions earn highest marks ever received by an industry in new Consumer Reports Buying Guide
Posted 4 years ago
Medina County Federal Credit Union is proud to note that America's credit unions received among the highest marks for service that Consumer Reports has ever given to an industry in the magazine's recent financial services series "Bank & Credit Union Buying Guide."
The magazine recommends consumers use their local credit unions for auto loans, checking, savings and many other financial services.
"Credit unions are among the highest-rated services we've ever evaluated, with 93% of their customers highly satisfied, on average, vs. 69% for the four biggest national banks," said Jeff Blyskal of Consumer Reports. "That satisfaction is driven by good customer service, not surprising when you consider that credit unions are owned and managed by their members."
Consumer Reports was clear in recommending credit unions for your next auto loan: "Choose a credit union for a car loan, because those institutions often offer the lowest rates--another good reason to join one. Get prequalified before you shop."

We posted awhile back about Yakkay Helmets which were cute, but potentially unsafe due to the fabric nature of their covers. Fabric prevents the helmet from skidding on the ground which can potentially lead to your head stuck on the pavement…not pretty.
Now worries fashionistas thanks to Cyclefashion!
Helmets are designed by an eco-conscious Japanese-born designer who got fed up with looking terrible on her bike so she created her own collection of helmets that are funky and still meet all the safety requirements. The designs are cleverly positioned on the back and on the left-hand side so drivers and pedestrians can admire you as you go.
Helmets are priced from $80 to $120. Check out more styles on their site.

Oh and if you are looking for not safe, sexy helmets check out these crazy helmet covers from Riding Pretty.

Bike Seat to Calvin Klein Jacket
Bike culture is fast becoming the norm for cool kids everywhere. Designers have long looked to the cool kids for inspiration and Calvin Klein takes it to a new level with his "bike seat" inspired jacket. Fully outfitted with foam, bonded with fabric and wool, the jacket uses a heat-molding process to create patterns and indented stripes. Klein describes it as "a very nice way to express modernism." Decide for yourself.

From Christina: I've got something a bit different for you today. It's a bit of "Summer Vacation Love" from E. M. Bannock. Enjoy!
Summer Vacation Love
By, E.M. Bannock
It was early evening. A brilliant sunset had faded into mute grey tones. A shimmering reflective moon danced in the distance on the still surface of the lake as we emerged naked hand in hand. We had been hot, sweaty, and musky from working all afternoon in the sizzling sun cutting the overgrown weeds that choked out the yard and beach of the lake house. It seemed natural to strip off our clothes and take a quick skinny dip to cool off when we were done.
It was the beginning of a well deserved summer vacation. Our friends were set to arrive late that night with all of the food and drink. Our contribution was to arrive at the lake house early to get it ready for the week long festivities.
The cabin had been cleaned. Windows were opened to replace the stale air of winter past with the fresh fragrant air of summer. Clean sheets had been put on the beds. Bathrooms were cleaned and fresh towels laid out. Cutting down the weeds was the last labor to be completed.
An afternoon of sexual teasing had added fun the chore. I had let the strap of my tank top fall to the side exposing the top of my breast more than once to see if he noticed only to pull it up quickly when he did. I had purposely bent over in front of him flashing my apple-bottomed ass below my way-too-short cut-off jeans. Sometimes he would quickly get behind me as I was bending over, grab my bottom both hands and pull me to him. I could feel his hot, hard, cock rubbing against me through his jeans. The sexual anticipation had mounted as the work got done but we kept on task letting the heat of passion rise in us like the blistering sun beating down upon us as we toiled.
The sweat poured out like water making our clothes stick to our skin. His well-muscled chest and arms glistened with perspiration as he worked giving proof to his commitment to fitness, the firmness and strength of his body undeniable. I hungered for the feel of it next to me as I watched him cutting down the tall thick weeds with a machete, blushing when he would catch me staring. He acted annoyed and told me to get back to work but I saw how he smiled with pride when I did.
The coolness of the water had cleansed and refreshed our bodies but did nothing for the sexual heat we were both still feeling. We lay down on the blanket we had spread out on the sand, still dripping with water. Facing each other, our bodies touched. His fingers tenderly traced the outline of my face and sent waves of sexual electricity down my spine.
We embraced tenderly. I looked up and saw his handsome face close to mine. We kissed. It started out gentle but as our passion rose our kiss became intense, tongues teasing, hands exploring. We broke apart long enough to catch our breath.
He pushed me back to the blanket and positioned himself between my legs. Leaning forward he grabbed my wrists and held them over my head as he lowered himself and entered me, kissing me gently as he did.
The aromatic bouquet of freshly cut weeds and the earthy smell of the lake intoxicated our senses and added to our lovemaking pleasure. We were serenaded by a choir of crickets, night flying birds and the methodic tempo of waves crashing on the shore.
Darkness had set in by the time we were satisfied. In the afterglow we lay side-by-side staring up at the stars. In an instant the sky was lit up like torch as a meteor blazed its way across. We both pointed upward and said "Make a wish." I closed my eyes and wished that the happiness of the moment would never end.
"What did you wish for?" I asked him as I opened my eyes.
"I wished that we could be like this forever," he replied.
"Me, too," I said. We turned to each other and kissed once more.
Just then we saw the headlights of the approaching cars.
About E. M. Bannock
E.M. Bannock was born in 1950 and grew up in the Detroit suburbs. She is the second child of seven and eldest daughter of a working class family. Her mother was always at home to care for her children, which instilled Marie with deep rooted family ties. Her parents had traditional, old style, European ideals which clashed with her modern, adventurous personality. The daughters were not encouraged to attend college. Instead they were expected to get married, have children, and be homemakers.
Her love for writing began during high school where she excelled in writing short stories and poetry. During her junior and senior year, she wrote and sold short stories that other students turned in for homework assignments.
Born with the wanderlust, she found herself in Los Angeles. LA was an exciting place to be in the early 70's and E.M. experienced all that it had to offer. It was here she met her husband. The two have a son.
E.M. and her family have lived in California, Oregon, Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming, where she now lives with her husband, son, grandson and a menagerie of cats, dogs, chickens, and horses.
She has made her living as an office manager, computer programmer/analysts, and project manager. Throughout it all, she never lost her love for writing. Although never published, she has a small collection of the short stories and poems that have been written throughout the years.
Until 1999, she had never attempted to write a novel. Then, while descending into Detroit on a business trip, she had the inspiration for her first novel, Totally Devoted.
After completing the book she submitted it to several literary houses only to be rejected. Life became complicated and her book sat in the memory of her computer for 15 years. At her husband's urging, she "brushed" it off, added more dimension to the characters, and more spice to the romance. The result is a gripping, erotic tale of modern romance and rugged western adventure that exposes the struggles of life with raw human emotion, lust, love, devotion, and danger.

The new Y-3 Spring/Summer 2012 campaign by Collier Schorr takes its cue from the experimental city of Brasilia. Portraits are collaged with xeroxes of archival Brasilia, to suggest a delicate balance between the body and the many ways it is contained. 'The Precipice', Schorr's fictitious travelogue, leads us further into Brasilia's dramatic landscape of 20th century modernist architecture. In the campaign concrete structures that loom all around Brasilia read like excavated ruins from a future civilization. Brasilia, 1960, was a city of uncertainty. A new social experience installed by a government anxious to establish its reputation as a democracy. At the heart of this planned utopia was the pursuit of newness. Collier Schorr's images for Y-3 are a meditation on the sense of otherness that evolves out of this progress, the unnerving bond between human beings and their environment. In the accompanying mood film, the female narrator remarks "If it is a shore it has long ago been emptied of what lies past its edge." She speaks to us of the warmth of surfaces, along with her fears and desires to connect with her surroundings; a yearning so real that the city appears no longer as just a collection of concrete buildings, tunnels and roadways, but a living body. 'The Precipice' is a film of layers: from the opening act that introduces us to a story-within-a story to the projected landscape planted both behind and directly over its actors. The film's soundtrack, itself a densely woven tapestry, is cobbled together from various sources; field recordings, old sci-fi films, and excerpts from The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski. "I was inspired by the androgyny of Yohji Yamanoto's designs to translate the clothing's dualities onto screen and image. I was playing with a multitude of influences for the S/S 2012 campaign, inspired by the modernist literature and architecture that is in itself a fusion of political and architectural mantras, both dreamy and concrete." Collier Schorr said in January 2012. The result is an over-arching communication campaign that translates into still images and a short mood film, followed by an updated brand website design, all released globally February 2012. The campaign features models Valerija Kelava and Harry Goodwins. The styling was done by Jay Massacret, hair by Holli Smith, make-up by Sil Bruinsma. Lloyd Co. was in charge of production and creative direction.

Disliked Music
In Western cultures, musical taste, understood as a particular attitude towards music, is an important aspect of one's self-concept and self-perception. As an affective and expressive medium, music not only serves to satisfy emotional and social needs; rather, in its individual quality as liked or disliked music, it can be used to create and affirm one's own identity. However, in detailed examinations of musical taste, the focus is usually only on the dimension of what is liked; music that is rejected may be part of the gathered data, but it rarely plays a role in evaluating the conceptualization of musical taste.
For this reason, our project is centered on rejected music—on the individual explanatory strategies for rejecting some music, how these explanations differ from those given for favored music, and the functions fulfilled by rejecting specific pieces and styles of music on both a personal and social level. In an additional step, we will examine the linkage between musical distaste and the "narrative self" with consideration of different degrees of dislike. In this context, the project's focus will be less on individual examples of musical dislikes than on the psychological and sociological processes located behind such examples. For this reason, methodologically we will use and bring together surveying techniques from both the psychology and sociology of music, as well as from music therapy.

IELTS Speaking topic: A foreign film
Describe a foreign film you enjoyed.
You should say:
what the film was about
who the actors were
where and when you saw it
and explain why you enjoyed this film.
Well, the foreign film that I really enjoy is Finding Neverland. You probably watched it too.
It tells a story of Barrie, a Scottish play writer develops a strong friendship with the widowed Sylvia and her four young sons whose imaginative behaviour gives him ideas. He incorporates them into a play about boys who do not want to grow up. The play, Peter Pan, proves to be a huge success after Sylvia becomes increasingly weak from an unidentified illness, so Barrie arranges to have an play performed in her home. She dies shortly afterwards, and Barrie finds that her will is to have him and her mother look after the boys.
I guess that Finding Neverland is a warm, heartfelt drama with an engaging story. Johnny Depp played the lead as Barrie, and Kate Winslet played opposite of him. I believe they had terrific chemistry on screen. I downloaded this film from the Internet last year, and watched it at home in my bed on TV.
Finding Neverland is a simple story, but in the tragic and painful ending, it digs under the skin of everyday life to ask a big question that as we grow up, we left behind too much innocence in the childhood, which touches on the deepest emotions of normal people.

LOL! I wondered how that would go for you! I made sure I got stuff I do like, because, in the end, it's all about ME! If the kids don't like it, tough toenails!
I did have some anxiety over the fact that I bought peanut M&Ms, though...I hope people read before they eat. I don't want to kill anyone.
- 7:32 pm
We had more kids here than last year, but I think there might be a peanut butter cup or two left for us. Yum!

We had three measly kids this Halloween. Which was about half of last years total.

- Barbara Bruederlin said...
It's usually all about ME as well, WC, but I am attempting to save me from myself.
I'm pretty sure that anyone who has kids with peanut issues scrutinize everything thoroughly.
I'll trade you 15 packs of Swedish berries for one bite of peanut butter cup, Mr Anchovy. Just one!
That's just depressing, Dr M! Do they all go to the mall instead, like they tend to do here.

I didn't get any candy corn this year. I had bought purple candy corn but it got thrown out in the move. Thankfully, I had Thin Mints to console myself with. ;)
Love that picture, by the way.

- Barbara Bruederlin said...
Worst case scenario, Al, inadvertently throwing out the much coveted new candy! I'm not a big candy corn fan, but I can certainly appreciate the sense of loss. I', glad the thin mints were able to stand in.

Until the age of 11, she wowed fans by following in her fathers' footsteps on the racetrack, winning multiple races across California, US.
But after her father, Tony Panterra, was involved in a serious motorbike accident, she gave up competing on the track and turned her focus to performance art.
Now 25, Lexy posts Twerk Freestyle videos on YouTube under the brand LexTwerkOut, aiming to help others to improve their singing, dancing and health habits.
Her latest – a four-minute music video for her single Used To Know – is approaching 1.5 million hits on YouTube despite only being posted on Friday (July 29).
One viewer said: "Wow, she is truly stunning."
"I'm inspired to take up twerking now – it looks like a good workout!" commented another.
And Lexy shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
She said: "My major plans are to get it certified so LexTwerkOut can become a class that other people can teach in other cities and other countries.
"I want it to be a big brand. We have apparel. I plan on this being the next Zumba."
The pro-twerker even has plans for telly stardom.
"Maybe even a reality LexTwerkOut show," she said.
Daily Star Online recently took a trip to the London Dance Academy to take a lesson in the art of Twerking – with hilarious results.

Love Mulberry
I've been a bit rubbish about blogging recently as work has been really busy and I've been pretty ill! To keep myself occupied whilst being ill, I've been browsing the internet 'dream shopping'.
I have always been a massive Mulberry fan. I remember saying at 16 "My life time goal is to own a Mulberry bag!"
Here are my favourites at the moment:

I haven't posted for a while due to being super busy! This week I have been compiling men's and women's SS11 Trend reports at work, which has been really fun. Hopefully, I will get around to posting about my favourite looks from the Paris Fashion week shows.
Quick post to show off two recent purchases, my berry purple lipstick from MAC and my silver cross ring from Urban Outfitters.

I don't really have a very good camera at the moment or anyone to take pictures for me for outfit posts. Which is a shame because I think they help make some of the best blogs around.
So, I decided to play around with my computer webcam and some of my wardrobe staples at the moment.
This is the result...
Khaki Jersey Top + Faux Fur Stole H&M
This khaki top is amazing fitted but baggy at the same time, so comfy and vesatile. As is my faux fur stole, a recent purchase, such a useful part of my wardrobe. It instantly makes a plain outfit more interesting and keeps you warm! I do love a bit of fur!
Nude Wedges - New Look.
I originally bought these at Easter and wore them with everything, such a good colour, more mink that nude, and sooo comfortable. I lost them in my suitcase and was devastated! But luckily New Look brought them back again recently so dashed to buy them straight away.
Leopard Print fur coat - H&M
Bought this beaut in this summer in the sale, it was a bargain! It is sooo soft, cannot help but stroke it whilst I'm wearing it! It reminds me of Edie Sedgwick, (who I adore)especially because of the 60's style cut.
Hope to show you some more of my wardrobe soon...

Whilst browsing through Oscar de la Renta's collection on style.com I could really invision the cast of Gossip Girl wearing some of the garments. Especially Blair Waldorf on the Upper East Side, or in The Hamptons or at some important social Gala. Add her trade mark hair band and Voila!

Fashion Week Favourites #3
Double the love for the D&G and Dolce &Gabbana collections.

This D&G collection is just sooo pretty!!! The runway was gorgeous, floral decoration to compliment the collection. I love the massive bags, wedges, aprons and sunglasses. The playful use of Disney's Snow White was lovely to. The floaty floral maxi dresses are just divine, this collection is a massive hit for me!

Another beautiful collection at Dolce & Gabbana full of white lace. I love these pretty, dainty collections. I love the cuts of these garments, the use of white on white, the cropped jacket, the infusion of the crystals in the lace and the use of the leopard print and floral print against the lace.
All in all love, love, love the collections from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana!
Also just to add I think the model Anna Selezneva is so beautiful!!! (Image 4 from Dolce & Gabbana)
What do you think of the collections?
