Ghost in the machine The supernatural talent of Randy Parsons
In a previously nondescript suite of offices overlooking downtown Ventura's entertainment district, a labyrinth of hallways now artistically embellished and lit only by the occasional sconce leads to various rooms where a kind of magic is quietly being practiced. Vices, clamps and drills rest on a large table. Necks, pickups, tuning pegs, pick guards, wires and other vital parts are scattered about like burnt offerings from sacred rituals. Somewhere in this gothic still life there's a dead scorpion, maybe a cow's skull. "Oh, and the place is definitely haunted."
So says celebrated luthier Randy Parsons who recently moved his operation from Seattle to a 7,000-square-foot space above the Ventura Theater. Probably best-known for his work with Jack White, a relationship that was immortalized in the film It Might Get Loud, Parsons has also built guitars for Jimmy Page, Sammy Hagar, Parker Lundgren, Death Cab for Cutie, Peter Frampton, Joe Perry and Modest Mouse.
His guitars, which sell for as much as $65,000 and often take a year to make, are something of a miracle. It is not unusual for Parsons to begin projects with little to no clue how to manifest his rather elaborate ideas, yet somehow he always gets it done — and to tremendous effect. To wit: the Red Queen. Commissioned by a high-profile multimillionaire whose name Parsons will not disclose, it was inspired by the artistry of Cirque du Soleil (a big influence on Parsons' aesthetic). It's made from exotic materials including African bloodwood and flame maple and required 50,000 or so individual pieces to assemble. It was his first attempt at inlay. "Not only did I want to do inlay," he recalls. "It had to be better than anything else. I got ill making that. I had three layers of [magnification] on . . . it was just exhausting."
Working in what will be the Queen's Studio,
Parsons has created a tranquil environment to craft
instruments that are as much art pieces as stage gear.

Before the Red Queen, there was the Triple Jet, built for Jack White when he started the Raconteurs. As Parsons tells it, White's people contacted him to see if he could modify an existing Gretsch to look like copper, his hue du jour. Parsons asked why he didn't just have Gretsch do it. They said White wanted his own Gretsch signature model, but he didn't want the people at Gretsch to make it. When the job was complete, Parsons received a personal email from White thanking him. Parsons replied that he'd be happy to assist him with any additional luthier services, that he had a lot of ideas. With affectionate glee, Parsons recalls White's response: "Cool man, I think we should just leave it the way it is. It's a beautiful thing." But Parsons couldn't. He told White that rather than just painting the guitar the color copper, he wanted to use the actual metal. White took the bait and Parsons found himself in a bit of a quandary: How in the world does one go about making a copper guitar?
"I had no idea what I was doing. My friends were saying, get a torch and melt it on there. [White] asked what it would cost and I pulled a number out of my butt. I made it and it was awesome. It was stunning."
A creative symbiosis exists between Parsons and White that is rooted in their shared fascination with old things, artisanal methods and authenticity. Though Jimmy Page will always be a hero for Parsons, he says he has become partial to White. "My favorite artists are usually about the whole package, not just the notes on the guitar. The circus that they've created around them and the fact that he is one of the coolest, smartest people I've ever met . . . the experience of being part of his career has been amazing."
Randy Parsons wasn't always a craftsman. He wasn't always an artist. In his youth, he was an avid guitar player, the guy everyone expected to see commanding arena audiences. But he saw no real future in guitar playing so he took the military route instead, later working in law enforcement. A vague discomfort, however, gnawed at him until one day in the shower he had a vision. It would be the first of many. He cashed out his 401K, purchased a bunch of tools and raw materials, holed up in his garage for two years and taught himself how to make a guitar. It was a transcendent ghost-in-the-machine process that would set the tone for things to come.
"I felt like I'd been there before. All of a sudden I knew about wood. I could put a piece of wood in my mouth and smell it and taste it and know if it was old enough. I could write a book of the weird creepy cool things that have happened. There's something else involved. It seems at times someone is guiding my direction, even my hand."
Later, a fortuitous encounter with Boaz, an acoustic guitar guru with MacGyver-like skills and a shaman's heart, helped shape his course. His tutelage could be reduced to one basic premise: Learn to make a guitar with a pocket knife, and you can do anything. To this day, Parsons uses nothing more sophisticated than hand tools to work his voodoo.

nice views and maybe a few ghosts.

And yet despite his track record and contrary to his confident demeanor, he is highly self-critical. "Every guitar I make, I know I can do better. I'm trying to learn something with each guitar. I torture myself. " He also never knows what a guitar will sound like until it's strung. "I wish sometimes I was a furniture maker. It would be so much easier, but the guitar has to sound better than something you'd buy in a store and that's the challenge."
Keeping with the pervading theme of Parson's career, the story of how he came to call the sleepy seaside town of Ventura his new home is as serendipitous as it is by design. "I maxed out my business plan in Seattle," he recalls. "I achieved everything and more. I needed a change. Life goes by so quick, you start asking questions: How do I want to live my life? I started thinking about California like everyone does," he laughs.
So a year ago, he and one of his female assistants, Caroline, took a recon road trip from coastal San Luis Obispo to L.A. At some point they ended up at Starbucks on Main and Chestnut before heading home. It wasn't until they were looking at photos from the trip that they noticed a "for lease" sign in a window above the Ventura Theater. "I said, 'This is it. This is the only place we're going.' "
"I get these visions," he explains. "And when I get a strong one I'm convinced it's going to happen. It gives me the guts to make it happen." But living by your wits, despite encouragement and confirmation from on high, has its drawbacks and they often involve money.
"My name is pretty big but the money usually comes a lot later," says Parsons. "I'm not a business person, I'm more of a creative spirit. I had to basically cash out and see how much money I had. I had enough to really fill a moving truck and get down here."
But when he arrived in Ventura, the deal wasn't entirely sealed and he spent four nail-biting days in the moving van with his cat, riding the waves of uncertainty. "I'm in California. I'm in Ventura in the parking lot of a Motel 6. The signs were there; I saw the vision. I'm asking myself, 'Why am I living in a car?' " That's when good fortune came calling once again in the form of Seattle magnate Bernt Bodal. The CEO of American Seafoods (featured in an episode ofUndercover Boss) and once-upon-a-time rock star in Norway (he played bass with Eddie Vedder and Roger Daltry) was on the other end of the phone. "In his heavy Norwegian accent he said, 'How are you?' I said, 'I'm living in a car.' I moved into the theater [building] the next day.
"He's always been a good customer and he's very interested in what's happening here. He's a musician himself. I consider it that I have an involved partner; he gave me a fishing pole, not a bucket of fish," says Parsons.
It's been about four months since Parsons began the process of transforming the dingy offices into his rock 'n' roll lair. With the help of Caroline, who moved with him to Ventura, he's managed to put his unique stamp on the space, chipping away at lofty but attainable goals for Parsons HQ that will ultimately offer luthiery classes, workshops and repair services in a museum-like environment.

To prepare for and partially fund that phase of the business — something he envisions as a destination point for guitar enthusiasts from all over the world — he is offering a limited number of customized guitars for between $1,500 and $3,000. Customers are handed a clipboard with a laundry list of one-of-a-kind handmade components from head stock to body as well as boutique hardware and accessories. Imagine Build-A-Bear for musicians, but in this scenario, your purchase increases in value. "They are not just coming in and buying a guitar," says Parsons. "I'm going to sign it, date it, document it. It's something from our shop from the first year, so in 5, 10, 15 years people will be like, 'Wow! I'm so glad I got that guitar!' I didn't want to do something like Kickstarter. These guitars are like issuing stock. At the end of the day, you spend as much as you would in a big box."
He goes on to explain that mass-produced guitars, even the higher-end models, are routinely customized with boutique parts such as machine heads and bridges, sort of like adding aftermarket features to a new car. He's giving the customer an opportunity to pick and choose those features from the beginning, in addition to the added value of owning a unique, signed and numbered Parsons guitar. "We wanted to add an experience. It should be special and that's what I'm trying to give people."
Adding to Parsons' mystique is the nature of his relationships with the lovely young women who have worked and sometimes lived with him on and off for 15 years. Parsons is a rock star in his own right, and lovely young women are par for that course, but he insists it's all very innocent. He regards them as daughters. One of them, Persia, will be joining him and Caroline shortly, and a third, Natalia, is expected sometime this year.
The shop in Ventura is a work in progress. Though Parsons welcomed the public for a soft opening earlier this month, it won't be official until sometime in March. Following him up the flight of stairs to the heart of the operation, one imagines Willy Wonka leading the golden ticket bearers into the chocolate factory — and for guitar enthusiasts, it is a candy shop of sorts, though the décor is more reminiscent of an opium den or a haunted house.
And what about those ghosts Parsons is sure reside at 620 E. Main St.? Are they just remnant energies of a man driven to obsession by the pursuit of perfection? Frenzied molecules from a kinetic disturbance that only an artist's mind could produce? Whatever it is that haunts Parsons Guitars, one thing is certain, the spirit of rock 'n' roll is alive and well there — it just looks like a chunk of wood and a handful of bones.

CLEVELAND: A top government official in Northeast Ohio�s Cuyahoga County says he wants to start off every kindergartner with a $100 college savings account.
Ed FitzGerald, executive for the county that includes Cleveland and suburbs, tells the Plain Dealer he thinks the move will create a �culture of college attendance� for children and their parents.
The effort � which would kick off next fall with about 15,000 children � would fulfill the county charter�s mandate that county leaders establish a postsecondary scholarship program. FitzGerald said he wants to create an incentive program for all county children instead of a traditional scholarship.
According to research, children who have designated some savings for school are nearly four times more likely to attend a four-year college than those with no account.

Cold hands are never fun, and when the temperatures dip below freezing, they're downright dangerous. That's why we created our all-new Fat Mitts to combat the nastiest of Mother Nature's temper tantrums.
Their durable construction features a Primaloft® insulation to help with warmth, while they also has a bombproof ripstop woven fabric selection that will cut back on the risk of catching nicks, tears, and snags from rogue branches. We've also included reinforced CORDURA® at strategic locations in order to prevent damage from crashes or everyday wear.
These mitts are designed to work with mountain bike bars, more specifically for use with fat bikes, and they easily secure via a simple-to-use attachment at the bar ends. The closures, meanwhile, are fully adjustable, so you'll be able to lock-in the warmth once you get the blood moving on your ride. And as a result, these mitts create an extremely warm and comfortable microclimate that's all but entirely shielded from the cold.

At birth, Moriah Mudd seemed strong and healthy. Her physical exam by a pediatrician at Riddle Hospital in Philadelphia was completely normal.
But then a nurse put a sensor on her foot and, within minutes, a machine called a pulse oximeter revealed that her blood oxygen level was alarmingly low, a sign that something could be critically wrong with her heart.
Three weeks later, Moriah underwent surgery at Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., to correct a severe congenital heart defect diagnosed by follow-up tests.
Had it gone undetected, she would have gone into respiratory distress at home in Sicklerville, N.J., said her mother, who is a family physician.
"She's doing great now," Kimberly Jones-Mudd said of her daughter. "She's growing, eating, and her heart looks good."
Pulse oximetry screening for congenital heart disease has become standard practice across the country, less than two years after New Jersey became the first state to require it, surveys show. Even in states such as Pennsylvania and Delaware that do not mandate it, the simple, noninvasive, few-dollar test is done in almost all birthing hospitals, surveys show.
It's too soon to know the impact of screening, but anecdotal cases like Moriah's and early reports are all good. In New Jersey, hospitals identified two newborns with critical congenital heart defects out of more than 25,000 babies tested in the first three months after universal pulse oximetry screening began in August 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC review also found that 10 infants with positive screens turned out not to have heart defects, a false alarm rate lower than in large European studies.
"It's a highly useful test. It's both cost-effective and life-saving," said Samuel Gidding, head of cardiology at duPont Hospital for Children.
"It's a screening program that people are embracing. They realize they should be doing this as part of good medical care," said Pittsburgh neonatologist Robert Cicco, vice chair of a committee that helps the Pennsylvania Department of Health develop newborn-screening guidelines.
In Europe, studies show that about 1 in 4 newborns with positive pulse oximetry screens — that is, blood oxygen saturation below 95 percent — have a heart defect that could cause disability or death. Lung problems are also sometimes detected through positive screens.
In 2011, following advice from leading medical groups, the U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services recommended that pulse oximetry be added to the uniform screening panel for newborns.
Since then, all but four states have added screening laws, rules or pilot programs, according to the Newborn Coalition, an advocacy group. Even in the four states without formal initiatives, most hospitals screen.
Prevalence of heart problems
Of the 40,000 babies born with congenital heart problems each year in the U.S., about 10,000 have a defect so severe they need corrective surgery or other procedures in infancy, research shows. Many of these defects show up on fetal ultrasound. But experts estimate as many as 200 babies a year die from critical defects that go undetected until too late.

OTTAWA - Canada's failure to arrest former U.S. president George W. Bush during a visit to B.C. is cited by Amnesty International in its annual report on human rights atrocities around the globe.
The report also takes issue with Canada's treatment of aboriginal people, refugees and terrorism suspects and its refusal to hold a public inquiry into the arrests of more than 1,000 protesters during the 2010 G8 summit in Toronto.
Canada's record of alleged human rights violations pales in comparison to the litany of torture, mass executions, and violent suppression of protests cited against countries like Syria and Uganda.
But Amnesty Canada spokesperson John Tackaberry says the organization makes no attempt to rate the magnitude or seriousness of human rights abuses among the 155 nations listed in the 2012 report.
Rather, it includes any country in which there's a "constellation" of violations that cause concern.
In Canada's case, Tackaberry says Amnesty has "serious concerns" that the country is failing "in a number of cases" to meet its international obligations to protect human rights.
Among the cases mentioned is Canada's failure last fall to arrest Bush when he visited British Columbia, "despite clear evidence that he was responsible for crimes under international law, including torture." Amnesty had campaigned for Canada to arrest and prosecute the former president.
The demand for Bush's arrest "was certainly not a frivolous action on our part," Tackaberry said in an interview Wednesday.
"We knew that there was little likelihood of this actually taking place but the important principle is that George (W) Bush has been implicated in serious human rights violations and Canada has a responsibility to ensure that people within their jurisdiction who are alleged to have been involved in serious human rights violations ... that they be brought to justice.
"It's imperative that when there are serious human rights violations that individuals be held to account," he added.
At the time of Bush's visit last October, Amnesty maintained the former president authorized the use of torture against detainees at the Guantanamo Bay naval base, in Afghanistan and Iraq as the U.S. pursued its war on terror following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. It cited the use of waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" and cruel, degrading treatment, such as forcing detainees to remain in painful position, without sleep, for hours.
As a signatory to the UN Convention Against Torture, Tackaberry said Canada has an obligation to take action against alleged violators, including Bush.
The report, which documents alleged violations during 2011, also chides Canada for its treatment of aboriginal people on a number of fronts, including its failure to adopt a national action plan to address high levels of violence facing native women. It notes that a federal audit last summer found a majority of drinking water and waste water systems in First Nations communities constitute a health risk.
It further criticizes Canada for refusing to apologize or compensate three men who were detained and tortured abroad because Canadian authorities falsely linked them to terrorist activities.
And it says a proposed crackdown on refugee claimants who arrive en masse, employing the services of human smugglers, violate "international norms" for the treatment of asylum seekers.

it should support it, i don't see why not. the VT is limited by chipset and CPU, and since SL400 already have GM45 chipset, it's really down to the CPU.

I have a SL400 with P8400. This is a Penryn core and according to intel should have Intel Virtualization technology.
look here. http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35569
The BIOS is broken. Either setting virtualization to enabled or disabled does not enable intel VT. I can confirm tihs with VirtualBox which complains about it when I have VT support checked.
EDIT: Turn on the option to enabled in the bios. then save and quit. Once quit you have to hold down the power button to fully TURN OFF the computer. Complete off. Only then will VT be enabled on subsequent bootup. I can now run Virtual Box at full speed.

Unemployment is high this year, and savings accounts are low. But that won't stop Americans from filling shopping carts with gifts this Christmas. With shopping a firmly entrenched holiday tradition, the average American will spend an average $715 this season — even if for some it's spending they can ill afford.
Before you head out to Target, Best Buy, Nordstrom or your local mall this holiday season, give yourself a big gift: restraint.
The reason so many people fail to show it is the intense social pressure to go out and spend this time of year. Plus the legion of ways people justify overspending. That's according to Shawn Young, creator of Bootstraps Asset Building Education, an organization that uses elements of behavioral economics to teach average Americans how to better handle their finances.
In his previous career as a manager at Wal-Mart and Starbucks, Young, now 41, saw many colleagues become overwhelmed by financial troubles that it distracted them from their work. The stories led to Young developing an interest in financial education. In 2007 he moved to Louiseville, Colo., and founded Advocates for Young Adults, a nonprofit which has since been renamed Frontier Asset Building. It has five employees, a $300,000 budget and, says Young, helped 10,000 people in 2010 through its various programs.
The year's most memorable new products
One is a class on spending. In it, Young works primarily with people who have low and moderates incomes and are at risk of overspending in ways that can have devastating effects on their finances. If a student in one of his classes overspends at Christmas, that student might have trouble paying the January electric bill. People of greater means rationalize excessive spending in similar ways but generally face less devastating consequences, Young says.
Temptations are so great leading up to Christmas that some of Young's students this year suggested he offer a class addressing the season's shopping. While Young ponders the idea, he suggest others slow down while hitting the malls.
Digital cameras for photographers of all levels
"It is important to make every stop at the cash register, or online payment, a moment to check in with yourself," he says.
If you believe you're rationalizing a purchase you can't really afford, get out of line and take a walk. When you feel an impulse buy coming on, take 24 hours to think about it first.

People around the world are facing food shortages but, in the magical bureacracy that is the EU, food is being destroyed for being a millimeter off of Brussels regulations:
A market trader has been banned from selling a batch of kiwi fruits because they are 1mm smaller than EU rules allow.
Inspectors told 53-year- old Tim Down he is forbidden even to give away the fruits, which are perfectly healthy.
The father of three will now have to bin the 5,000 kiwis, costing him £1,000 in lost sales.
Speaking yesterday from the stall in Bristol he has owned for 20 years, Mr Down said: 'It's total nonsense. I work hard enough to make a living without all these bureaucrats telling us what we can and can't sell.
'They're saying I'm a criminal for selling this fruit, but the real crime is that all this fruit will go to waste – all because it's 1mm too small.
'It's a terrible waste, particularly when we're all feeling the pinch from rising food prices and I've got to throw away this perfectly good fruit.'
This is life in a world regulated, not by the marketplace of real sellers and buyers, but by the government. This, incidentally, is what Barack Obama would like to bring to all of us, since his fellow travelers are all statists — people who want the government to play an overarching role in our lives, including in the marketplace.

Caggie Dunlop's two finger ring and hand chain, October 10th
Don't ever let it be said that the Fashion Detective does not give you what you want. It seems that the wears and tears of our fave constructed reality stars are keeping y'all entertained. So here's another little Made in Chelsea tip-off if you want to steal their style.
Last night, I was watching this scene v closely because I'd been asked to find out where the lush knitted coat Caggie was wearing, when she went to meet Rosie (naughty, naughty Rosie, surely?), was from. I'm investigating that as we speak – but here's a gorgeous lookalike by the world's bestest designer, for now.
Anyway, I was totally sidetracked by Caggie's stonking jewellery…
|The turquoise rings Caggie wears with the hand chain really set if off – full marks
I'm a big fan of wearing many rings (espesh turquoise ones) and am now desperate to own the two finger hand chain Caggie was wearing last night. Yes – it's from Urban Outfitters, but you'd better be double quick as it is bound to sell out…
*Runs out of office to buy immediately*
|Behind that well-dressed hand, Caggie is deeply suspicious…

Sanford and Fairview Health Services: A Good Merger?
Officials at Sanford Health, based in South Dakota, are having discussions with officials at Fairview Health Services, based in Minnesota, about a merger. Each organization has about the same number of employees and revenue. Fairview has been without a CEO for almost a year. Sanford has Kelby Krabbenhoft.
The Attorney General in Minnesota, Lori Swanson, appears negative to the possibility of Fairview merging, or being taken over, by an out of state entity. A hearing held Sunday in the Twin Cities, sounded more like a witch hunt than an information gathering event. Fairview has a long history in Minnesota, with deep ties to the University of Minnesota Medical School and community.The next public hearing on the subject will be April 21.
Two Democratic Minnesota Legislators have introduced a bill to prevent any out of state organization from taking control of the U of Minnesota Hospitals. No hearings scheduled yet.
There are many interested parties in this discussion. The boards of both organizations, and their employees are obvious. Also, people affiliated with the University Hospitals currently involved with Fairview. Doctors, nurses, students, researchers, and of course patients, have an stake in what and how things happen. The involvement of Minnesota's Attorney General, and now at least two Democratic Legislators adds an interesting political element. And, of course, lawsuits filed by the state, and other parties, can make for a quagmire.
Sanford has been aggressive in acquiring facilities, territory, and employees. The recent merger of the health system in North Dakota, makes Sanford one of the largest geographic medical entities in the country. Sanford is also setting up facilities not just in other parts of this country, but in selected places in the world.
Clearly some people in Minnesota are not happy with Fairview board and staff members who are talking with Sanford representatives.
This will be an intriguing process. If this merger happens it will be a long slog to the end. The hearing on April 21st in the Twin Cities should be fascinating.
As an observer, I wonder, with a merger, will patient care and outcomes improve? Will costs to all patients stabilize or even go down? Are the discussions about those issues, or about expanding just because they can? Can a healthcare organization become too big to effectively function? Who is responsible for answering that question?

3 Ways to Save More Cash
Save More
"I'm saving half my salary to pursue my dream."
—Stacie Barra, 32, Chicago, administrative assistant and actress
I may earn a living in a cubicle, but I don't really live until I step onto a stage or in front of a camera. For nine years, I've supported myself with an office job while trying to build an acting career—rushing to auditions during lunch breaks and slogging through workdays after late performances the night before. I accepted my split-personality life until one day in 2010, when I took a day off work to shoot a TV commercial, then acted in a play that night. It took a lot of long hours, yet I felt exhilarated, and it dawned on me: I needed to find a way to pursue acting full-time.
I decided to live on half my income and squirrel away the rest so that I could eventually quit my job to act, take classes and audition at a moment's notice. To start, I tracked every penny of my $3,200 monthly take-home pay. Writing it all down helped me separate my needs from my wants and form a plan.
Next, I began moving half of every paycheck into savings. Doing that leaves enough to pay my rent, utilities and gym membership with $700 to spare, which I keep in cash. The idea: If I don't have money in hand, I can't spend it. The first month, I had to dip into my savings for an extra $200 to pay for a parking ticket, contact lenses and a few gifts. But I got right back on track, and living on cash has now become second nature. I shop my closet, have friends over for dinner instead of eating out and scout out discounted theater or movie tickets.
In about 30 months I've saved more than $45,000. The crazy thing is, I don't feel deprived. I compare my financial reinvention to finding ways to make a decadent recipe taste just as good with fewer calories. I know the time to quit my day job is coming. I don't ever want to wonder, What if I'd lived my dream? And now, I won't.
Quit Spending
"I quit spending cold turkey to ditch my massive debt."
—Anna Newell Jones, 33, Denver, court clerk and part-time photographer
I admit it, I like buying stuff—pretty bed linens, cute sweaters, killer heels, you name it. Problem was, my job paid modestly, and I was spending way beyond my means. By age 30, I was $23,600 in debt.
On New Year's Day 2010, I vowed not to drop a dime on anything but rent, food and utilities—nonessentials were non-negotiables. I called it my Spending Fast. After a month of fasting, I had $500 left from my $2,600 take-home pay, which I put toward paying off my debt.
I became the Queen of No—no movies, no eating out, no shopping. I also started a blog called AndThenWeSaved.com, which I used as a place to vent about my struggles and share my successes. Going public kept me accountable. When I tried to rationalize giving myself a small allowance, my readers urged me to stay strong. Sometimes not spending really sucked, but I wanted to get out of the hole more than I wanted whatever it was I was tempted to buy.
Within 16 months I was debt-free. Today I'm no longer on a Spending Fast; I simply focus on making smart choices about money. And my blog is now a personal-finance site that helps readers get, and stay, out of debt.
Start a Business
"I turned my hobby into a major moneymaker."
—Elle Green, 34, Memphis, owner of Chef Elle Green & Co.
My journey to owning my own business began when my 12-year-old Toyota sputtered to a halt on a busy highway in 2007. Clearly, I needed a new car, which meant raising some extra cash outside my catering job. That's when my sister suggested selling my homemade sweets.
I love to bake, and I always took my desserts to parties, but at the next gathering, I taped a card to the cake box announcing that this was my last freebie. The starting rate for my chocolate or sweet potato cheesecake would be $45 each. I was sure everyone would be mad. Instead, my phone started ringing. Nine months after my car broke down, I bought a new one for $14,000.
I wondered if I was on to something with my little business, but I was also beat. I woke up at 4 a.m., worked all day, then rushed home to bake. Every dollar I earned went back into my fledgling company or into the bank. I spent virtually nothing on myself. No cable, because who had time to watch? No clothes, because I lived in a chef's uniform. I whined to my sister that it wasn't worth it. Her response: Stop crying and keep baking.
In six months, I went from selling about 35 desserts a month to more than 350 a month. In 2010, I decided to go out on my own with just under $70,000 in savings. We're breaking even now and looking to expand! I always tell people: Never underestimate your skills and hobbies. That's how I found my true calling.

"Im busy, Dizzy"...
I have a reoccurring problem. Every female I meet within hours of talking hit me with the "I'm a busy woman" line. This is not a problem. By all means handle your business baby girl. But if you're using the busy line as a code for something else then you're failing. If you've been hurt and trying to pace how close we get or how much I learn about you then say that from the start. If you talking to and or fucking someone else then let me know so I won't look like a dumb ass trying to link up with you. I'm sending you sweet text messages for no reason as you getting piped down by some other guy. If you just not interested then just say that. I'm no stranger to rejection so I won't be mad if you be upfront. I will however be upset if you waste my time and or I look like a dumb ass at the end of it.
What happens is, down the line I get use to you being busy. I get use to not spending time with you and you brushing me off. So if one day you just so happen to get lonely enough to hang out with me and we end up hitting it off and have sex I'm a still treat you like you're busy. I will not start sending text messages more frequently; I will not try and court you again. I know my dick is good but I know it isn't that damn good it clear schedules. Or maybe it is. (Insert cheese grin here!) Either way, you will think I'm on some other shit and you will tell your friends how much of a dog you think I am because all I wanted to do was have sex. Wrong.
If you busy, then be busy. If you're cautious or dealing with someone else just say that therefor we can have a crystal clear understanding from jump. I know how to better deal with you with a clear understanding. We all know people make time for what they want to especially sex or love. You hitting me with that line makes me think you think I'm some dumb, thirsty ass dude with no clue how the game goes. Do NOT use the busy line as a form of hard to get, it will backfire most of the time. You started off by playing games but get mad and tell me you need a man who is mature and not on games. Now if that isn't ass backwards. But I will end this post here before I seem like I'm angry. I'm not. It's just annoying. -E

The type of film with which Mr. Ratner has claimed to be infatuated is itself like a caper - it requires precise execution. Tower Heist is more like that 10-story Snoopy, as he drunkenly bobs along Central Park West.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that although this Ben Stiller/Eddie Murphy comedy appears to have been inspired by Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, it's not heavy-handed and is likely to appeal to teens who are fans of either of the stars or director Brett Ratner's action movies. Expect plenty of high-octane scenes -- car chases, a Ferrari dangling from 50 stories high, etc. -- as well as a fair amount of swearing (particularly "s--t"), product placement, and sexual innuendoes/references to sex. The characters' scheme is a crime, but they're presented as Robin Hood-esque in their motivations.
Messages: The Robin Hood-esque main characters want to steal from the rich to give to the working class who have been hoodwinked by a finance mogul. While their means may not be legal, their intentions are good, and most of them seek nothing more than justice.
Role models: Kovacs is an idealist who wants to make things right when his entire staff is defrauded. He exacts revenge by committing a crime -- which the movie presents as justified since it's apparently righting wrongs. He treats his staff respectfully and is well-liked.
Violence: Cars careen through the streets of New York during a high-speed chase, and guns are fired. A woman rams a man with a utility cart, and a man vandalizes a car in rage. Characters cuss each other out, and one attempts suicide. But no one is seriously, physically hurt.
Sex: Frequent innuendo; use of sexual words like "screwing," "balls," "t--ties," etc. Some cleavage/women in risque clothing. Talk of making out and getting lucky. References to having sex, prostitution.
Language: Many uses of "s--t"; also "d--k," "son of a bitch," "prick," "a--hole," "ass," "hell," "banging," "damn," "goddamn," "oh my God," and more.
Consumerism: A fair amount of product placement and signage, including Canon, Playboy, Chase Manhattan, Ralph Lauren, Cuisinart, DeVry Technical Institute, and Nathan's hot dogs. One character is so ostentatious about his wealth that he has a rooftop pool made to look like currency and an expensive car displayed in his penthouse for show.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: A woman gets inebriated while at a pub with a guy she sort of likes. Some social drinking.

golfer16 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
I am looking for a logo for a local search company. Our target audience is small to medium-sized businesses so the logo needs to appeal to a professional crowd but should also have some "pop" and brandability.
Get listed. Grow profits.
Desired Style:
Modern, Professional and Brandable
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
This project is really beginning with a blank slate. I have no pre-conceived vision of what the logo should look like. I want to leave that up to you. Â
Some small things I would add are the following. I want the logo to look great on stationery, business cards, website etc. It's also really important that the logo be brandable. My goal is to build a long term business and I want people to eventually associate the logo with the company if I can do a good enough job marketing it.
So, while the logo needs to be professional in appearance, it also needs a little "pop" to create the brandability. I would like the .com included in the logo as well as the tagline " Get listed. Grow profits." I'd prefer not to see any 3D type designs and please avoid funky fonts.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Upstate N.Y. Restaurant Subjected Female Employees to Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment, Federal Agency Charged
NEW YORK – An upstate New York restaurant violated federal law by widespread and continuing sexual harassment of its female employees, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed on August 31.
The EEOC's lawsuit (Civil Action No 8:11-cv-01043), filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, charged that the owners of Angelo's Pizza & Grill in Rouses Point, on Lake Champlain, subjected female employees to an ongoing pattern of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment from at least 2005 through the present.
According to the female employees, all three owners regularly made offensive comments about sex acts and private parts. They also made sexually suggestive comments such as threatening that "bad girls" would be sent to the office for "a spanking." The owners also used objects – such as a cucumber or a large orange traffic cone – to press up against the women and simulate sex acts.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC is seeking compensatory and punitive damages against the company as well as other relief, including a permanent injunction to prevent the company and its owners from engaging in any further employment practice that discriminates on the basis of sex. The discrimination charge was investigated by the EEOC's Buffalo Local Office.
"The EEOC remains committed to aggressively pursuing remedies for victims of sexual harassment in any work setting," said EEOC Regional Attorney Elizabeth Grossman. "No one, man or woman, should have to endure such abuse in a workplace, particularly from the business owners. The women who have come forward in this case have shown great courage."
EEOC Trial Attorney Judith Biltekoff added, "All employees have the right to work in an environment free from sexual harassment and abuse. Employers, large or small, who violate their workers' rights need to recognize that the federal government will enforce our national policy against sexual harassment in the workplace."
The EEOC obtained a favorable jury verdict of $1,260,080 in January of this year after the trial of another sexual harassment case with similar allegations, against Paul's Big M grocery store in Oswego, N.Y.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.


text: Human beings have been smithing silver for millennia. I was surprised to learn, therefore, that significant advances in silver metallurgy have been made as recently as the 1990s. Sterling silver, by definition, contains 92.5 wt% silver metal and 7.5% other metals, traditionally mostly copper. In 1998, however, Peter Johns of Middlesex University obtained a US patent on sterling silver alloys containing the semi-metallic element germanium as an additive. The resulting product, called Argentium, eliminates firescale, dramatically reduces tarnishing in air, and produces a more ductile metal. It is manufactured in the US by Stern-Leach, and the feedback from metalworkers I've been reading around the web is very positive. [Thanks, Jason!]

Onchocerciasis – or 'river blindness' – is a parasitic disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus. It is transmitted through the bites of infected Simulium blackflies, which breed in fast-flowing streams and rivers.
Onchocerciasis is a major cause of blindness in many African countries. About half a million people are blind or visually impaired due to the disease. Onchocerciasis also causes ugly skin disease with depigmentation and severe unrelenting itching.
As a public health problem, the disease is most closely associated with sub-Saharan Africa, but it is also prevalent in Yemen and Latin America. In the past, fear of blindness led people to move away from the fertile river valleys in the African savannah, reducing agricultural productivity and increasing poverty.

James Clapper Says They're Just Trying To 'Understand' Tor To Keep Terrorists From Killing You
from the why-so-afraid-people? deptAh, the inevitable misleading bullshit response from James Clapper to today's revelations about the attempts to hack Tor is the usual doubletalk and propagranda we've grown accustomed to from the confessed liar. The short version is that they're just trying to "understand" Tor, because if they don't you'll probably die from terrorists.
The articles accurately point out that the Intelligence Community seeks to understand how these tools work and the kind of information being concealed.In other words: we decimate your privacy, because we care. Sorry, Clapper, we're just not feeling that caring spirit out here in the public. It sure seems like you're a creepy big brother, using any and all methods to distort this discussion and debate, while seeking to collect any and all information you can get your hands on "just because" it might possibly be useful someday -- and with little to no concern for how that impacts everyone else.
However, the articles fail to make clear that the Intelligence Community's interest in online anonymity services and other online communication and networking tools is based on the undeniable fact that these are the tools our adversaries use to communicate and coordinate attacks against the United States and our allies.

In the strait-laced Eisenhower 1950s, Dave Brubeck seemed, on one hand, deeply conventional. He didn't drink, smoke or take drugs. He favored expressions like "baloney!" and "you bet" over ruder alternatives. He had a prodigious work ethic that had been ground into him by his cowboy father on the family's California cattle ranch.
But rebellion was in Brubeck's soul. Schooled in piano by his musically gifted mother, he became a jazz man — outwardly square but quintessentially cool — whose genius at marrying spontaneity and unorthodox rhythms with classical forms became an enduring legacy.
Brubeck, the pianist and composer who pushed the boundaries of jazz for six decades and became one of the genre's most popular artists, died Wednesday, a day before his 92nd birthday.
Dave Brubeck: In the Dec. 6 Section A, the obituary of jazz artist Dave Brubeck quoted a 1961 New Yorker profile that described an example of the musical interplay between Brubeck and Paul Desmond during a performance of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in which Desmond inserted a quote from "Try a Little Tenderness." It was Brubeck, not Desmond, who responded with a loud burst from "You're Driving Me Crazy! - What Did I Do?" Also, the obituary said the album "Time Out" had reached No. 2 on the pop music album charts by the end of the 1950s. The album reached No. 2 in 1961.
The jazz maestro, who had a history of heart trouble, became unresponsive on his way to a medical appointment, said his longtime manager and producer Russell Gloyd. Brubeck's son, who was in the car with him, rushed him to a hospital in Norwalk, Conn., where he was pronounced dead.
Jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell called Brubeck "a true musical giant. He helped to keep jazz at a truly high level and he was very consistent in both his performance and composition."
He was best known for his work with his classic Dave Brubeck Quartet, which included longtime musical partner Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Brubeck's innovative ideas generated an enthusiastic response from a new audience of young listeners — as well as the players most directly connected with his music.
"When Dave is playing his best, it's a profoundly moving thing to experience, emotionally and intellectually," Desmond said in 1952 in the jazz publication Down Beat. "It's completely free, live improvisation ... the vigor and force of simple jazz, the harmonic complexities of Bartok and Milhaud, the form [and much of the dignity] of Bach and, at times, the lyrical romanticism of Rachmaninoff."
In the late 1950s, the group began exploring unusual rhythmic meters. By the end of the decade, the album "Time Out" had reached No. 2 on the pop music album charts, and a single off the album — with "Take Five" on one side and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" on the other — became the first jazz recording to sell more than a million copies.
Written by Desmond, "Take Five" became a universally recognized jazz classic despite the offbeat 5/4 meter.
The group's popularity began to climb in the mid-1950s when a series of live college recordings — "Jazz Goes to College," "Jazz Goes to Junior College" and "Jazz Goes to Oberlin" — was released. Brubeck appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1954, only the second such honor for a jazz artist. (Louis Armstrong was first.)
The New Yorker described the quartet as "the world's best-paid, most widely traveled, most highly publicized, and most popular small group now playing improvised syncopated music."
But Brubeck's fascination with groundbreaking elements not generally included in the jazz styles of the '50s also made his music a target of widespread disparagement from jazz critics, who often referred to a "heavy-handed, bombastic approach" to piano improvising. The words directly contradicted another critical view, which identified the music of Brubeck and Desmond as another example of the "effete, laid-back, West Coast cool jazz" style."
Most of the criticism failed to recognize the complex range of elements — from stride piano to a Bach canon — that could course through a single piece. Brubeck often cited the positive response his music received from legendary jazz figures including Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Charles Mingus, among others.
David Warren Brubeck was born Dec. 6, 1920, in Concord, northeast of Oakland. His father, Howard "Pete" Brubeck, was a cattle rancher, his mother, Elizabeth Ivey Brubeck, a pianist and music teacher. When he was 11, the family moved to a 45,000-acre ranch near Ione, in the Sierra foothills.
His older brothers Howard and Henry became classical musicians, but Dave preferred ranching and improvising pop songs on the piano. As a teenager, he played at dances on weekends.
Brubeck started out studying veterinary medicine at what is now the University of the Pacific in Stockton but switched to music at the suggestion of his science advisor. He managed to earn a bachelor's degree without learning to properly read music.
He was drafted into the Army after graduation in 1942, marrying his college sweetheart, Iola Marie Whitlock, just before he was sent to France in 1944.
His wife, who frequently wrote lyrics for his projects, survives him along with his daughter Catherine, his sons Darius, Chris, Dan and Matthew, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Another son, Michael, died several years ago.
Discharged from the military in 1946, Brubeck went to Mills College in Oakland, studying with French composer Darius Milhaud and forming the Brubeck Octet, a musically adventurous group with an imaginative and avant-garde repertoire. Brubeck's trio, which he led from 1949 to 1951, provided a different, more intimate forum for his far-reaching ideas. The group, which included bassist Ron Crotty and drummer/vibist Cal Tjader, played standards and Brubeck's originals.
In 1951, Brubeck added Desmond to his trio. It was the beginning of a journey into national visibility that established Brubeck and Desmond as significant jazz figures. The quartet, which remained together until 1967 and was briefly reunited in 1976, a year before Desmond died, became the most important vehicle for Brubeck's playing and innovative musical ideas.
Brubeck's sometimes empathetic, sometimes confrontational musical partnership with Desmond was the driving force behind those ideas. Brubeck was the engine, his visceral chording providing lift-off power for Desmond's soaring melodic interpretations of Brubeck originals and tunes from the Great American Songbook.
The intimacy of their musical interaction took place as quasi-verbal subtexts within musical dialogues — with the intellectually sardonic Desmond choosing a fragment of melody to identify the title of a popular song or a classical piece, and Brubeck countering it immediately with a continuation of the melody or a contrasting phrase, identifying the title of a different piece.
In a 1961 New Yorker profile, Robert Rice described a typical example that took place during a quartet performance of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in which Desmond inserted a quote from "Try a Little Tenderness." "Desmond," wrote Rice, responded "with a loud burst from 'You're Driving Me Crazy! – What Did I Do?' "
Despite their sometimes confrontational relationship, Desmond gave Brubeck full credit for coming up with "Take Five."
"At that point, we had three or four albums a year to get done," he told CBC Radio in 1976. "And [Dave] said, 'Why don't we do ... all different time signatures? ... We got 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 8/4, whatever. Why don't you take 5/4.' So I wrote 'Take Five.' At the time, I really thought it was kind of a throwaway. But it was Dave's idea, so give him ultimate credit."
In 1967, Brubeck disbanded the quartet to concentrate on composition, primarily sacred works and classical pieces, usually with jazz references. But he was soon pairing frequently with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan as the "The Dave Brubeck Trio with Gerry Mulligan."
After Desmond's death, Brubeck continued to maintain the quartet format with other players, including clarinetist Bill Smith and saxophonist Bobby Militello. Among the many ensembles he led was Two Generations of Brubeck, which included his musician sons Dan, Darius and Chris.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet appeared and recorded with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1959, entertained world leaders at the 1988 Gorbachev-Reagan summit in Moscow, and frequently performed at the White House. Brubeck's 80th birthday was celebrated in 2000, featuring four of his sons as soloists in an all-Brubeck program with the London Symphony Orchestra.
His large-scale works included a jazz musical, "The Real Ambassadors," recorded in 1961 with Louis Armstrong and Carmen McRae; a jazz opera, "Cannery Row"; ballets; an oratorio; cantatas; and a Mass.
Some of the disparagement of his music suggested that racial favoritism was a factor in Brubeck's successes, even though Brubeck was from the beginning a highly visible civil rights activist. One time he refused to appear with the quartet on the "Bell Telephone Hour" television show after he was asked to replace Wright, an African American, with a white bassist.
Among his many awards, Brubeck was inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame, declared a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts and awarded the National Medal of the Arts. In 2009, he received a lifetime achievement award as part of the Kennedy Center Honors.
Despite Brubeck's continued popularity, creative versatility and enormous commercial draw, it took many jazz critics decades to reconsider their early responses to his music.
In his 1995 book, "Cats of Any Color," former Down Beat editor Gene Lees wrote, "The public was right; the critics were wrong."

DALLAS, March 23 (UPI) -- Derek Roy scored the first of four straight Dallas goals and added an assist Saturday in the Stars' 5-2 spanking of Colorado.
Roy's tally 34 seconds into the game set the tone for the Stars, who notched a second straight victory after falling to the Avalanche 4-3 Wednesday.
Eric Nystrom and Jaromir Jagr provided a goal and an assist each for Dallas.
Cody Eakin and Jordie Benn each scored, Jamie Benn handed out three assists and Kari Lehtonen turned aside 33 shots for the Stars.
Dallas chased Colorado goaltender Semyon Varlamov in the first period after denting him for four goals on just 15 shots.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 15-of-16 tries the rest of the way.
P.A. Parenteau and Paul Stastny scored for the Avalanche.

7 takeaways from final debate
The curtain has fallen on the final debate of the 2012 cycle, yet one question remains unanswered — will it change anything?
President Barack Obama was on the attack, Mitt Romney modulated toward the center, and Bob Schieffer played it low-key in the moderator's seat in the Lynn University face-off in Boca Raton, Fla.
Story Continued Below
Below, POLITICO's seven takeaways:
Who won?
There was far from a consensus view on who won the debate in the hours after it ended. Two instant polls gave Obama a clean edge over Romney, but the pundit class was, to quote Obama, all over the map.
( Also on POLITICO: Who won the debate?)
Obama's aides were elated with his performance, which was aggressive from the get-go. They felt he slapped Romney down repeatedly and pushed back forcefully on some of the rhetorical flourishes the Republican has used against the president over the course of the year.
It's not a surprise that Obama was aggressive — he clearly believed, based on what he has seen in polls, that he needed to be. And he did win on points, scoring some cleaner arguments against Romney on pure policy grounds and getting out his pre-canned lines about the Republican as an archaic figure (1980 calling for its foreign policy to be returned, the era of horses and bayonets in the military being over).
But many Republicans — and some neutral commentators — believe Romney held his own in a difficult format. His aides think he passed the acceptability test and that Obama didn't disqualify him (and Republicans desperate for a win were sighing deeply that Romney didn't have any gaffes).
( Also on POLITICO: Mitt Romney: I come in peace)
What's more, while Romney declined to actually distinguish a number of his own positions from Obama's, it was ultimately a tactical benefit for a candidate who has spent the general election hoping to disprove the idea that he's an extreme war-monger. After archly questioning Obama's toughness for months, Romney managed to position himself as a fan of guns and butter with an endorsement of foreign aid and even nation building. He seemed calm while Obama seemed hot.
It is not going to be clear until later in the week how the debate plays out with voters. Given that both sides think they won, it could be a wash that won't change the trajectory of the race.
Neither man thinks foreign policy will decide this race
Obama has enjoyed an edge on foreign policy for much of this campaign, with those numbers softening some in the wake of the Benghazi attacks that claimed an ambassador and three other American lives.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the Boca Raton debate)
But Romney declined to make a strong case on that issue when Schieffer asked about it right out of the gate. A week after he whiffed on the topic in one of the ugliest exchanges of the Hofstra University debate, Romney basically let the issue lie.

Sideboard "Vertical" by Santarossa, May 2014
Product: 125789 Sideboard "Vertical" by Santarossa
Customer: 2
Title: Great design
Rating: 5
Name: Kira Bumberg
"I bought this sideboard a few months ago from myitlianliving.com and I was pleasantly surprised. The storage is enough to keep my essentials in there and the quality is impressive. I had an Ikea sideboard in my previously rented apartment, and I can really see the quality difference. It's definitely worth investing money into Italian furniture."
Baby cot "Prestige Tiffany" by Pali, July 2014
Product: 013510 Baby cot "Prestige Tiffany" by Pali
Customer: 4
Title: Impressed by quality
Rating: 5
Name: Colin Morgan
"First of all, I'd like to mention that I never leave any reviews, but with my last purchase, I couldn't resist the temptation to do so. I purchased this cot by Pali for my second child and was very impressed with the quality. For my first one, unfortunately I could only afford a cot from Argos, which had broken on the second month of use! The Italian baby furniture is definitely value for money. I must admit that in the beginning I thought it was a bit pricey, but when I researched more, I realised that myitalianliving.com had the lowest prices on Italian furniture. They justified my hopes in all aspects, starting from the functionality and quality of the materials. Definitely planning to buy more for my little one's room, now with more confidence!"
