General FAQ
Why the name "Skunk Train"?
The nickname "Skunk" originated in 1925 when motorcars were introduced (today sometimes referred to as railbuses or railcruisers). These single-unit, self-propelled motorcars had gasoline-powered engines for power and a pot-bellied stove burning crude oil to keep the passengers warm. The combination of the fumes created a very pungent odor, and the old timers living along the line said these motorcars were like skunks, "You could smell them before you could see them."
The railroad's historic name is California Western Railroad.
Do we need a reservation?
While you can travel certain times of the year without having booked in advance, we always encourage a reservation.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we take Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. For purchases made on the train or at Northspur, we accept cash only.
Are pets allowed on the train?
Dogs are the only pets permitted on board. We do ask that you be considerate of your canine though – they simply may not like trains. Please bring whatever they need to be comfortable (food, water, dishes, a leash, etc.). Starting in 2013, there will be a charge for canine passengers.
Is the train handicap accessible?
Yes – but there are limitations, given that our railcars were built in the very early 1900s. We strive to make every guest feel comfortable and will do our very best to accommodate your visit.
Can we bring food on the train?
Only if you have dietary restrictions or are traveling with a child. Concessions are available on the train.
Can we bring alcohol on the train?
Thank you for asking, but we do not allow outside alcohol on board the train. We have a wonderful selection of wine and beer from beautiful Mendocino County – which by the way is America's Greenest Wine Growing Region – including our very own Skunk Beer (bottled for us by Anderson Valley Brewing Company), plus a full bar on board the train.
Do your trains leave on time?
Without question we try to maintain our schedule. If you miss a train we will issue you a gift certificate for a future ride or book you on the next available departure. We will not, however, issue a refund because you've missed the scheduled departure.
How should we dress?
Comfortable and casual layered clothing is suggested to keep warm in the chilly months. If you plan on riding the Open Air Observation Car then we suggest dark clothing, because sometimes lighter clothing can get soot spots on it.

Health Coach Kitty
In asking the client in her own words this is what she had to say:
In talking with friends the two words that they consistently used to describe me were: fire and passion. Lots of energy, heat, and red as my primary color. Others might mention determined, or focused.
Symbolize energy, nature, or power. Give people the means to take power over their own lives. Whether its nutritionally, spiritually, or physically etc. Liked the idea of showing a source or emission of power.
Health and wellness clients.
I want to help my clients in their journey to health and wellness. In many cases it's a transformation using the vehicle of a race or event. The road...the path...the journey..to health, fitness, wellness. My pictures show me running "toward" my goal.
Building a health coaching business website for a client. Temporary site is located at http://kitty.thayernet.com with content that will go live once we have a logo. Feel free to browse and get a feel for the content and business. Logo will be placed in top left of site where you see the word "Logo." The leaves on top right will stay and it would be nice if the logo transitioned from logo to leaves to blend nicely across the page.
Green elements on the website are used to symbolize nature, leaves, and nutrition.

About Staples
The journey from confusion to organization doesn't have to be a long one. Often enough, it's the length of one tiny strip of metal—the staple that holds a school paper together, or attaches a cover letter to a résumé. Staples doesn't carry staples exclusively, of course, but for 28 years, they've aspired to create that same sense of effortless order. Their library of products covers everything from business cards and postcards to signs and banners, all of which aim to help you market your business more effectively.
You will of course also find the normal library of office supplies and furniture, while the technology aisles feature more advanced gear: cameras, phones, label makers, tablets, and laptops from popular brands. Their Print & Marketing centers churn out professional documents, business cards, photo gifts, and more. And, though Staples' focus is work, the stores can also furnish break rooms with chairs and coffeemakers.

Please follow this link for more background.
Zac's teaches avalanche safety skills to mountain snowmobilers.
Avalanche safety is serious, but Zac's has been successful in creating a fun and safe environment for people to have the confidence to share their observations and concerns to learn skills and habits to make better choices: snow conditions, terrain selection, riding partners, travel habits...
We don't want riders to just attend. We want them to get involved and really apply our teachings to their lives.
Ideally we would like a logo that is a little relaxed and fun (rather than serious and medical/safety related).
Is there such a thing as 'relaxed professional'?
Zac's Tracs is looking for a classy new logo; a design with clean lines and with lasting appeal.
Not necessary, but we think that we would like the logo to incorporate the website address.
We are more interested in unique lettering and simple graphics rather than a complicated image.
Our audience is primarily men.
Avalanches, mountains, snow, snowmobiles, challenge, power, with a touch of red-neck.
Check out the 'related links' on the right hand side of our website to see logos of others in our industry.
To clarify how we will use the star rating system:
- 2 star and below - not really what we are after.
- 3 star - getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design
- 4 star - design is being considered
- 5 star - we really like the design and will make our final selections from these.
- It should definitely convert well to black and white - for use in newspaper advertising and faxes.
- Max 3 colors.
- Suitable for light and dark background
- To be used in print and web environments, possibly hats and shirts
- Final file supplied as eps, vector, jpgs, gif
- Images that include current model snowmobiles that will be quickly outdated.
- Complicated images
- no cartoon images

Park's AWS-8 Hex Wrench Set features Bondhus balldriver ends, which facilitate use when the tool is at an angle to the bolt. This is great for working in hard-to-reach areas, such as reaching water-bottle-cage screws. The AWS-8 has 4, 5, and 6mm wrenches, which are the most common bicycle bolt sizes. Plus, its Y shape and vinyl coating provide excellent leverage and comfort.

Black Keys' Appearance on Comedy Central's 'Workaholics' Premieres
Blues-rock duo the Black Keys have made their scripted Comedy Central debut with a cameo in the hit show 'Workaholics.' The rock stars screen time was brief but worth the wait.
The episode centers around stars Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm and their quest for an awesome pool party. The trio buy a hover craft from a fellow co-worker's garage sale but soon find that the device isn't in mint condition. The contraption catches on fire and falls apart, ruining our heroes' upcoming pool party. They confront the seller, but he refuses to give them a refund, stating all sales are final. Anderson, DeVine and Anders decide to take him to small claims court.
The Black Keys first appear as two people waiting for their case to be heard. The ponytails singer Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney sport are extravagant. They even argue over whose is longer, with Auerbach saying his strands of hair are 22 inches long.
The stars take their case a little too seriously, pleading to a non-existent jury about their predicament. Kidnapping potential "witnesses" and digging a grave are also part of the shenanigans. You can watch highlights from the episode on Comedy Central's official website.

migya wrote:Having good players is a start but only a very good coach knows how to use them and then lead them to the best regular season they have ever had! If Larry Brown is a better coach, the Pistons would have won more games with him than with Flip. Flip just gets alot of heat for not taking the TWolves further in the playoffs but look at them now, they aren't even in the playoffs anymore
Well, Minny has a way worse roster now than when Flip was there. And he was fired for not getting them to the playoffs during his last season there... also, that Detroit team would play the same way without a coach. The team was already done when he went there.
Just my two cents, tho. This year they may win it all and I'd be forced to change my point of view.

Check out my guest post on The Vintage Bazaar. I wrote this post for Libby Alexander, founder of Vintage Bazaar, in February 2013 for their Love Hangover Dank Haus Market. At this Lincoln Square event, I was given the opportunity to interview selected vendors and hear their stories.
My first TVB was amazing, I am so excited for the next! Check out the permalink!
Trophies, glassware, and clothing! Oh my! You could say there's no place like The Vintage Bazaar. With one of the coziest gatherings yet, collectors beat the cold and met under one roof to admire and shop an intimate selection of of vintage vendors selling furniture, décor, clothing, and accessories. The kickoff party even had free Big Star tacos and Scofflaw cocktails while you shopped — where else would you want to spend your Friday night?!
Featuring 25 vendors the hunt was on for the ultimate treasure. I was pleasantly surprised to come across such reasonably priced items and it just made me want to keep buying! Some of the quirkiest goods included Hot House Market's retro hair salon dryer seat and Morning Glory Collectible's floral decorated lava lamp, which does in fact work!
Linda Renehan's Morning Glory Collectibles caught my eye right off the bat. Linda has been selling for over 20 years and described her booth as "Mid-century Kitsch," focusing on items from the '40s all the way into the '70s. As the daughter of a garbage truck driver, Linda learned at a young age the importance of recycling, because a large portion of her toys and furniture were garbage picked. You can expect to find funky, unusual items such as vintage poodles, quirky cats, and mid-century glassware in Linda's booth. She's "always kitschy, always retro, and always fun!"
Another mid-century modern vendor was Century Chicago. The husband and wife duo, Robert Smith and Robin Broman, were at DANK Haus this weekend celebrating their 15th show! The two met at a vintage clothing store (how adorable!) and about 15 months ago started selling mid-century modern furniture and housewares together, in fact their first show was actually at last year's TVB at DANK Haus. The two have been collecting for a long time, and have had a "crazy-successful" first year of selling. Robert filled me in on some great finds he was excited to showcase like the Verner Panton cone chair he had reupholstered to look almost identical to the piece's original red fabric.
He also shared one of his favorite pieces with me, a 1933 desk with a built in bookshelf attached, mixed with a 1960s Danish chair, upholstered in an elegant dark leather. A peek of this can be seen in one of the sneak peek posts. I was also lucky enough to snatch up a set of four mid-century glasses that have made a beautiful addition to my kitchen and they were only $10! What a steal! For more on Century Chicago, check out their blog or visit their booth at the Broadway Antique Market.
I also spoke to Maranda Powers from Persnickety Vintage, a shop she started in 2009. She even shared a little secret with me: She started selling because she, like the rest of us, couldn't stop shopping! She found herself drawn to all sorts of styles and eras and knew there was a home for each and every find. Maranda focuses on women's vintage clothing and jewelry, pulled from several different time periods.
Although her Etsy shop is mainly clothing, she mentioned that it's her vintage jewelry that customers swoon over at markets. She recently collaborated with her husband, Jon Chambers, and together they started a vintage men's clothing shop, The Vintage Alchemist, which focuses on men's jackets and ties.
Overall, TVB's first show of 2013 was a space to get happily lost in. DANK Haus was lit beautifully, emphasizing the captivating displays in each booth. What a wonderful experience it was to hear the crinkling of stuffed shopping bags and watch my fellow flea marketers laugh with vendors then haul super unique finds to their cars at the end of the night.
Did you attend the event? What finds did you go home with?

Introducing Field Notes: Contact/Access
Welcome to Field Notes. Field Notes is part of the Fieldsights section of the new SCA website which will be organized by Grant Otsuki and Ali Kenner. We see it as an experiment in engaging the SCA community in a discussion on the themes and issues that occupy us as we try to make sense of what we see, hear, and experience as ethnographers, teachers, and public scholars.
Our goal is for Field Notes to become a public place for people to play and pass around ideas with their often distant colleagues. To this end, we've designed Field Notes with a clear structure, which we hope will be the basis for our writers and readers to collaborate in generating new ideas and approaches. We also want to give users of the new website a look into the thoughts of the creative and committed scholars who are part of SCA.
We offer themes to start off each round of discussions, words like 'reflexivity', 'access', or 'responsibility'. We will choose themes that can be broad in their range but which manifest in very concrete and particular ways in our fieldwork. These are words that we give to each other for thinking through our material, but which often come to us and play out in radically different ways based on who we are, where we are, and the people and things that surround us.
For each round, we invite four scholars to each write one 600-800 word post on the theme, drawing from their own experiences as anthropologists and from the perspective of one motivating keyword given to them depending on their place in the round. The first writer will provide provocation, the second translation, the third deviation, and the fourth integration. The second writer will take up the reflections of the first writer, and continue the chain by posting their piece one week later in Fieldsights using their keyword, and so on. Each week, the following writer will take what has come before and interpret, twist, and mix it up as they wish.
We're hoping to start what Donna Haraway called 'a game of Cat's Cradle' among our four writers, and seeing what kinds of figures they come up with.
Cat's Cradle is a game of relaying patterns, of one hand holding still to receive something from another, and then relaying by adding something new, by proposing another knot. Cat's cradle can be played by many, on all sorts of limbs, as long as the rhythm of accepting and giving is sustained.
The aim of Field Notes is to facilitate this kind of game among anthropologists. We hope the short, lively, free-form exchanges that are produced here will become a resource for junior students getting into anthropology for the first time, senior students figuring out their own data, and for established scholars to see what their peers are excited about. Along the way, we urge you, the users of this site, to jump in and become part of the game. We're encouraging our writers to address user comments in their writing as much as they draw from the writings of their partners in each round. To join the game, please create a user account. You won't need one to comment, but having a user account will help you take advantage of the other exciting features on our new site. If you have any comments, suggestions for new themes, or if you are interested in participating as a writer in a future round, contact Grant Otsuki (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Our first theme is "contact/access." Fittingly for our first round, we have asked our writers to explore how they arrive at all the 'first times' that pepper the training and fieldwork of an anthropologist. We may find stories about encountering new project ideas, field sites, or interlocutors, and the often hard process of making productive connections with informants and colleagues. Or, we may hear about tips and experiences to keep in mind when reaching out for the first time. What should I say or write? What do I need in my bag when I step off the plane or into a lab? 'Access' can also be about access to resources: what is available to us as researchers and students to help support our studies or careers? Here are the writers for our first round. See Peter Redfield's piece, the Week 2 piece by Nicola Bulled, and Rachel Ceasar's posting for Week 3. Chris Garces's "Integration" post is here.
Peter Redfield teaches anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the author of Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors Without Borders (University of California Press, 2013) http://anthropology.unc.edu/people/faculty/predfield
Nicola Bulled is a recent graduate from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Connecticut. Her research focused on how the dissemination of biomedical HIV knowledge amidst prevention efforts impacts the practices, understandings, and identities of youth in Lesotho. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Connecticut, Tufts University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and a research affiliate at the Center for Health, Intervention, and Prevention. Nicola's work can be found at http://uconn.academia.edu/NicolaBulled
Rachel Carmen Ceasar is a PhD candidate in the joint Medical Anthropology program at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. Her dissertation research examines religion and technology, the anthropology of the dead body, and the politics of science in Spain and Morocco with a focus on the recent exhumations from the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship.
Chris Garces is Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Cornell University. His ethnographic interests range from the study of politics and religion—or contemporary political theologies–, to the unchecked global development of penal state politics, and the history of Catholic humanitarian interventions in Latin America.

I sort of lost my mojo the past few weeks due to duress of real life matters and the up and down weather has been a killer for me. One day it is nice, the next it is cold and crappy and really, what's with this wind we've been having? Brutal! Running has been small distances but consistent and cycling has been sporadic due to the weather and wind, I know, what a wimp.
Trying to find all the income tax information for my dad has been an adventure as well, let's just say I have one final bit of information to have filled out by his doctor and I believe the accountant will work his magic, but in the mean time, Tick Tock on the filing date.
|Wonderful Easter
Speaking of dad, he is doing as well as can be expected. His dementia is escalating so I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with him while he can still recognise me and while he can still enjoy doing some fun things. He loves gardening so I think this is why I'm trying to hurry up the Canadian spring weather!
My new Saucony's are creating blister's, what's with that? I've worn the Saucony brand for over ten years and never had a problem. I'll try to switch up my socks, the way they are tied or figure out something before I write the company and ask for some suggestions.
I've also committed to riding the GrandFondo in July, I'm debating the Bring on the Bay, 3k swim also in July, I just need to find the time to hit the pool and get some serious swimming done. September seems such a long way a way, but I have volunteered to be a ride guide again for this year's Ride the Rideau. Cancer can be beaten!
Well, that's it for now. I must get on line to stalk my friends who are running at Boston today. One being a very good friend and considered my "Blog Daughter", Marlene at Mission to a(nother) Marathon. Both Marlene and her husband Mark qualified for today's race! Good Luck you two, have a great race and make some wonderful memories.

Journalists detained, released in Vietnam clampdown
Par Vietnam aujourd'hui le mardi 12 juillet 2011, 08:43 - News in english - Lien permanent
Bangkok - Authorities must stop harassing journalists reporting on public demonstrations in Vietnam, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. On Sunday, police detained and interrogated three reporters who were covering anti-China protests in Hanoi where around a dozen demonstrators were arrested.
Hau Dinh, a news assistant with Associated Press Television, was forced onto a bus by armed police while he was filming the protest near China's embassy, according to international news reports. Dinh was held in police custody for more than three hours before he was released, according to AP.
Police said that two other Vietnamese journalists, a cameraman with Japanese television broadcaster NHK and a news assistant with the Japanese daily newspaper Asahi Shimbun, were also detained. Agence France-Presse cited an NHK company statement saying that their cameraman had been released after questioning.
Reporters had previously been permitted to photograph and film the small rallies which had been held in the national capital on five consecutive Sundays. They were sparked initially by rising tensions over territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Sunday's crackdown came after officials from China and Vietnam agreed in a joint statement to negotiate a peaceful solution to their competing claims. With possible oil and natural gas reserves, international boundaries in the area have long been under dispute, and many of the area's islands are claimed by both countries and several other Asian nations.
"Journalists are not pawns to be used in Vietnam's dealings with China," said Shawn Crispin, CPJ's senior Southeast Asia representative. "Vietnam should allow free reporting of these protests. It should also release the four bloggers currently held in detention for posting materials critical of China or the government's policies towards China."
CPJ research shows that several political bloggers-Nguyen Van Hai, Pham Thanh Nghien, Pham Minh Hoang, and Phan Thanh Hai-have been imprisoned in part for posting materials critical of China or the government's policies towards China, a historical adversary.
As bilateral tensions have risen in recent months, CPJ monitoring found that the state-controlled local media had been allowed to report more freely on certain issues related China, including the territorial disputes. It's unclear whether Sunday's clampdown on protesters and reporters signals an end to that brief, limited opening.

Prison Planet | February 6, 2007
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
A media hoax has fooled parents in Texas and other areas of the country that the HPV vaccine, which experts have slammed as untested and has already been linked to dangerous side-effects, is now the law and young girls must take it. Merck Pharmaceuticals are set to capitalize on this fraud by making obscene profits from a crony deal with Governor Rick Perry, while children are put at risk.
Perry issued an executive order Friday requiring girls to be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted HPV, or human pappilomavirus. Doctors, scientists and experts were not consulted before the sweeping mandate was put in place. Several Texas lawmakers, including Sen. Jane Nelson, have petitioned for a reversal of the decision but the Legislature has no authority to repeal Perry's executive order.
According to the Associated Press , Perry has close ties to Merck, having received money from them for his re-election campaign .
"He also has ties to Women in Government, a Merck-funded advocacy group made up of female state legislators around the country. His current chief of staff's mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a state director for the group," reports the AP.
Perry's former chief of staff Mike Toomey is on the Merck payroll as a lobbyist.
Almost immediately following Perry's announcement, newspapers and TV stations began to report that it was "the law" that parents had to have their child vaccinated. This reflects a national and international hoax that is repeatedly being perpetrated shortly before school terms begin each year.
There is no law in America, aside from those applying to medical workers, that says you or your child has to take any vaccine whatsoever, no matter what any executive order, requirement, mandate or policy dictates, there is no situation where you can go to prison for refusing a government vaccine under the U.S. constitution and the law of the land.
As in the case of all other vaccines, Perry's executive order merely states that the vaccine is "recommended," yet the mass media drumbeat constantly conditions people to believe that if they don't take their shots they will be kicked out of school, arrested and thrown in jail. This trick will continue to hoodwink Americans into taking all manner of dangerous and untested vaccines, the number of which rises every year, until they realize that there is no law that forces them to take any vaccine .
This issue is of vital importance not just to Texans but to everyone across the country, because all fifty states have been the target of Merck Pharmaceutical's biggest lobbying effort ever to get this vaccine mandated throughout the nation, by paying off Governors and other officials to curry favor. Merck were unable to sell the "benefits" of the vaccine to make enough profit out of it, so instead they turned to state legislature to force eleven year old girls (and in other states children as young as eight) who aren't even sexually active to take the shot.
A lot of states have rejected Merck's advances outright but Texas could provoke a chain reaction that would influence other areas to submit to big pharma's agenda.
What is actually in the vaccine? Live genetically engineered cancer virus. As the vaccine spreads in use, reports of horrible side effects are already starting to proliferate.
"Negative side effects of Gardasil, a new Merck vaccine to prevent the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, are being reported in the District of Columbia and 20 states, including Virginia. The reactions range from loss of consciousness to seizures," reports the Washington Times .
"Young girls are experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, temporary loss of vision and some girls have lost consciousness during what appear to be seizures," said Vicky Debold, health policy analyst for the National Vaccine Information Center, a nonprofit watchdog organization that was created in the early 1980s to prevent vaccine injuries."
The report quotes physicians who debunk the claim that the HPV vaccine even prevents cervical cancer, as is claimed by Merck and the FDA.
"There is no proof Gardasil will stop cervical cancer," said Clayton Young, an obstetrician/gynecologist in Texas, "They haven't been studying it long enough to make that claim."
CLIP: Alex welcomes the President of the Texas Eagle Forum, Cathy Adams, to discuss Perry's executive order and the HPV vaccine.
Merck makes 360 dollars per shot, equaling billions of dollars in fat profits from bullying or paying off legislatures to mandate the vaccine.
Media spin has succeeded in turning the debate into a partisan issue, putting liberals to sleep, aided by deluded conservatives who are only against the executive order because it seemingly encourages teenagers to have pre-marital sex.
The core of the issue has nothing to with partisan bickering about abstinence, it's about the fundamental human right to not have your body meddled with on the order of a government mandate which isn't even a law. Liberals will whine all day about their right to kill babies in the womb, arguing that the government shouldn't interfere with what a woman chooses to do with her body, but when it comes to mandatory vaccines, they're all for it!
As an example, check out this commentary from the liberal Crooks and Liars website.
"Seriously, this is such a no-brainer that I'm surprised other states haven't jumped on the bandwagon. The whole wingnut argument that this encourages girls to have sex is a bit bizarre to me. As a mom, I truly hope that my daughter will have a fulfilling sex life when she's an adult. I don't see how a shot in the sixth grade will make her more likely to have sex at a younger age. But if I can do something to prevent her from getting cancer in her 40s, what's the problem with that?"
The problem is that men in black uniforms holding your child down and sticking a needle in their arm by executive order whether you like it or not is un-American. Liberals will cry Roe vs. Wade all day long when it comes to aborting babies but when it comes to the "choice" of letting the government inject their child with whatever they like by force, the pro-choicers are eager to comply.
Vaccines and drugs that are not stringently tested and are instead foisted upon populations for the purposes of making obscene profits have a clear history of deadly consequences.
Consider the case of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, who deliberately dumped a vaccine that was known to be contaminated with AIDS virus on the European and Latin American market after it killed people in America. Thousands died from an action that the U.S. government allowed to happen through the FDA.
Peruse the plethora of examples where vaccines containing mercury, live HIV virus, live cancer and other horrors have wrought misery after victims were bullied into taking them by government mandates that they were deluded into thinking was the law.
The history alone, a legacy that led former director of the National Institute of Health Dr. James R. Shannon to state, "The only safe vaccine is one that is never used," implores us to stand up and fight Perry's collusion with Merck and ensure that similar executive orders are not passed elsewhere in the country as a result of cynical greed driven lobbying and corporate crony payoffs.
Parents across the country should rally to denounce this development, which sets the pretext for the state to dictate the health of their children, as well as moving us closer to legislation which would allow Americans to be forcibly vaccinated at gunpoint against their will during a time of manufactured crisis, such as in the case of a human to human bird flu pandemic.

"The strength of yesterday's intraday rally only added to traders' conviction that this bounce could ultimately take the S&P back to highs," he writes.
"The Nasdaq is already there after showing relative strength both yesterday and in 2014 overall."

VF Corp. is down 6% after its earnings and outlook disappointed.
Jos. A. Bank Clothiers is down 2% in the wake of news that it will purchase Eddie Bauer.
And there's an interesting story tied to Under Armour and Nike in today's Wall Street Journal.
The U.S. speed-skating team has some concerns about its Under Armour suits.

- Exxon leads Dow
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
A 1.9% gain for Exxon Mobil makes it the biggest winner among Dow components today.
A quick look for Exxon headlines doesn't turn up much this morning.
It's 13-F time today, and that has helped Exxon in the past.
The oil giant soared after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway revealed in its third-quarter 13-F in mid-November that it had picked up around 40 million shares in the period for a stake worth around $3.5 billion, reports MarketWatch's Bill Watts in his preview story today about 13-F filings.
Update: ISI Group upgraded Exxon to buy from neutral, so that's certainly a positive headline. Also, the stock has popped above its 200-day moving average today, so that could be inspiring some buying among chart watchers.

- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
GNC Holdings may be going from darling to dunce.
The retailer of nutritional products returned 77.4% last year vs. a total return of 32.4% for the S&P 500, according to MorningStar data.
But GNC, which came public in 2011, was last down 12% today — one of the session's big losers after its disappointing quarterly report and outlook.
Still, our Dow Jones colleagues who write the Market Talk column point out analysts are defending GNC. Sterne Agree said the stock could see a quick snapback and JPMorgan suggests this might be a buying opportunity.

- Risky or not?
- by Anora Mahmudova

Equities are usually considered riskier compared to government bonds. Chick Jaffe argues that if you buy and hold stocks, over long run they are best way to minimize risk.
In a world where many investors seemingly have given up on the idea that buy and hold can work, some new research from two college professors and the head of retirement research for Morningstar Investment Management suggests that stocks become less risky the longer you hold them, research which suggests that "set it and forget it" could be pretty good investment advice, and that you should overweight your portfolio toward stocks, even as you age and most people are becoming more conservative.

Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic hasn't been good for Under Armour Inc. /quotes/zigman/388552/delayed /quotes/nls/ua UA
After U.S. speed skaters came away empty handed without a single medal so far, reports emerged that suits designed by Under Armour may be to blame. The suits, described as having a competitive advantage, may actually have a design flaw that contributed to disappointing results, The Wall Street Journal reported. The U.S. speedskating team is now seeking permission from Olympic officials to switch suits for remainder of the Winter Games.
But one wonders, if the skaters are allowed to switch but still don't make the podium, who or what are they going to blame next, the ice?
Shares of Under Armour slid 2.2% on Friday and are headed for a weekly decline of almost 3%.

Lady Crusader volleyball team downs Ramettes 3-0
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team raised their dual-match record to 7-0 on the season with a 3-0 victory over the Johnsonburg Ramettes last night at the ECCHS gym.The Lady Crusaders won the first set by a 25-23 score. They took the second set 25-18 and won the third set by a 25-8 margin."We were slow to make adjustments but once we did we played well," said ECCHS coach Diane Gies. "The last game tonight was the best we played both offensively and defensively. Now we have to keep working to get better," added Gies.In the first set, the score went back and forth, with neither team holding more than a two-point lead. Late in the set, the Ramettes were up 22-12 when Elk got the serve back with Marissa Cunningham serving. A kill by Cunningham tied the score at 22. Elk made it 23-22 off a block. Jessie Ginther recorded a kill for ECC, 24-22. Brittany Watts made the score 24-23 off a block. Johnsonburg hit the ball out of bounds, giving ECC the 25-23 win.The second set saw Taylor DaCanal give ECC the 5-0 lead as she recorded an ace, with Kristie Wehler and Ginther both recording a kill.

One of the most luxurious benefits life has to offer is the ability to relax and soak in a hot tub. Simply being able to lie back and let the hot water and streaming bubbles release the stresses and strains life brings to bear can be the most important part of the day. For those who don't own a hot tub or spa, deciding to purchase one can actually be a troublesome decision since you may not know if you can find a hot tub that will go where you need it to go.
Most times, if you're putting a hot tub on a deck or in an outdoor setting, you'll be able to purchase a standard hot tub from your local dealer and not have any issues. Even storing things like additional supplies and your spa covers isn't much of an issue in an outdoor setting. Indoor settings and cramped decks can be a different story, however.
If you're planning to install an indoor spa in your bathroom or have limited space on your deck or in your outdoor areas, a custom spa or hot tub may be your best solution. While standard hot tubs and spas normally come in square or oval configurations, custom tubs and spas can come in other shapes and styles such as a rectangle to replace a standard tub/shower installation.
Another benefit of going for a custom hot tub or spa is the availability of tub materials such as copper or stainless steel instead of the typical fiberglass used in most hot tub and spa offerings. Not only are copper and stainless much more durable, some say the benefits of copper have a medicinal value that is unsurpassed when it comes to getting the most out of your hot tub or spa benefits.
If you do decide to install a custom hot tub or spa, you don't have to worry about keeping it safe and clean, even outdoors. Custom hot tub and spa covers are readily available or can be made to fit your custom hot tub.
Happy Tubbing!

Dense crumb only in the middle of the loaf
I've been baking a few round loaves recently, following the formula in Tartine Bread for the country loaf. They turn out pretty good, but one oddity I've noticed is that the crumb is very open for the first few slices, but gets progressively more dense as I get closer to the centre (the widest part of the loaf). It's cooked properly, but is comprised of smaller, more regular air pockets, almost like a standard loaf of white bread.
So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues. The pictures in the book suggest that the open crumb should persist throughout the loaf.
One thought I had is that the heat is not penetrating the centre of these large loaves before the outer portions have solidified, preventing proper expansion. Is that possible? And if so, what can i do about it? I'm cooking in a Dutch oven and at the suggested temperatures, which seem to produce the correct crust colouring.
Maybe it's something else entirely. Any suggestions welcome :)

This message is aimed at Master Kind.
I have an outline for a part but I need a bit of clarification of some things: Is there a difference between failure of the three hour window and complete failure of the challenge? ie. Masturbation with fingers or toys and oral sex, giving or receiving,
fails the three hour block but full penetrative sex with a guy makes her go full bimbo. But more importantly, is 'failure' triggered by an orgasm?
Now hopefully my brain doesn't shut down as I try to write the mundane parts of this chapter.
by Master_Kind - 9/26/2013 2:17 AM
Sorry, I should have clarified that. Failure of 3 hour window can be caused by either having an orgasm or completing any sexual act, thereby causing the bimbo quality of that 3 hour window to become permanent. Failure of the challenge can only be caused
by having full on penetrative sex with a guy (or girl), making her go full bimbo.
by No one important - 9/26/2013 5:01 AM
Okay that fits perfectly with what I was thinking. I'll try to get something posted soon but a word of warning, I'm going to take a different path then what you started just now.
I want to start on a season 3 Buffy starting with the fingernails and how she deals with someone else in Sunnydale under the challenge.
Also just for future planning, which did you foresee as the 8 parts in the 24 hours? I've got, not necessarily in order:
Unless you're combining the hair and the brains into one, I'm not sure which is missing.
by controlfan - 9/26/2013 3:12 PM
sex drive: Meaning like how much you want to have sex.
by Master_Kind - 9/27/2013 1:10 AM
By all means, feel free to relaunch the Buffy one. I was just putting ideas out there.
As for the 8 categories, I'm fond of the following:
Hands/nails/Skin - erotically sensitive skin that's a perfect golden brown along with hands that have minds of their own.
Sex Drive - increased tenfold with sudden preferences for either gender
Lips/voice - pouty, over sensitive, increased urge to use them to suck on things, along with a breathy bimbo voice
Breasts - huge, perky and orgasmic pleasure pillows
Clothing - anything they wear becomes slutty, pink and skimpy
Butt/high heels - A jiggly, sensitive butt combined with sky-high heels that can't be removed
I.Q./hair - thought it'd be fun to combine the two for 3 hours of being a "dumb blonde"
Submissiveness - a sudden urge to defer to the opinion of any men nearby and please them, an inability to think on their own two feet
These can be arranged in any order but I sort of like the idea of alternating the physical changes with the mental ones. Thoughts?
by No one important - 9/27/2013 5:44 AM
I just posted my part and since I crave attention, let me know what you think.
Anyway, looking at your listing I would suggest some minor changes. The 'Submissiveness' category seem redundant. If the girl is dumb as a post and so horny she'll hump that post, I don't think you'll need them to be submissive too. I'm sure we can be
a bit more creative in making them eager to please then by just making it so. Beside the other person in Sunnydale I want to have in this isn't really the submissive type. And I'm sure I just spoiled my plans there so moving on.
The only other changes I'd make to your list is to make Skin it's own category and to shift the high heels up to clothes. That keeps it at 8 and leaves the primary/secondary effects as:
1. Nails/Hands want to please
2. Lips/Oral fixation with 'cum is tasty'
3. Boobs/Needs no secondary
4. Butt/Needs no secondary
5. Clothes/Needs no secondary beyond 'easy access'
6. Skin gets tanned/Becomes hyper sensitive and easily aroused
7. Hair/Dumb blonde
8. Sex drive/Doesn't care who or what (Buffyverse don't forget) she screws
Any objections? Also beyond the nails being first, which makes sense since that's what the parchment touched first, should what each girl go thru be randomized order?
by Master_Kind - 9/28/2013 2:27 AM
No objections whatsoever. Would you mind if I joined in on the Buffyverse (well done by the way!) by adding Willow into the mix?
Some last minute nitpicks.
2. Lip/oral fixation/"bimbo" voice - be it breathy, squeaky or sultry, I feel like this challenge should come with a voice that screams bimbo as well (possibly also forcing them to add words like "um", "totally" and "like" to their sentences).
5. Clothes/high heels - easy access is dead-on but I feel like ridiculous impractical heels should definitely be a part of that.
Other than that, I like your 8 challenges. I'd say randomizing past the first part with the hands would be fun but it might get confusing. Anyone else feel strongly one way or the other?
by No one important - 9/28/2013 11:05 AM
Too avoid having too many people in the challenge, it might be better to get Willow in on the fun in a different way. If you want, wait for Buffy to tell/convince Willow what's going on and have Willow use magic (which she is still new at in season 3) for
whatever the situation requires. ie. Learn about the magic, try to undo or induce a change, something more interesting that you might think of.
As a result, whatever being that is 'running' the challenge see this as interfering and decides to teach her a lesson.
Anyway it might be a few days before I can post another part. I've got the next one plotted but I'm in the awkward part of my week where I don't have enough time to sit down and type it out.

sarafiel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 100 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Leicestershire Lawn Tennis Club (LLTC)
My client needs a new logo designing before moving forward to an update of their existing web site.
Leicestershire Lawn Tennis Club are a Tennis Club in the centre of Leicester (UK) who are in need of new (ie. younger) blood. The majority of existing members are of middle-upper class and aged from the mid-thirties upwards (and their children) and these are the people who will eventually decide on the logo. However they are trying to attract a younger audience so a mix of traditional and modern is required.
The existing logo comprises a shield with a fox (Leicester City's totem animal) and bands of black, cream and burgundy. None of these elements are absolutely necessary but any or all could be used as a starting point for the new design. However I think ideally it will be cream and burgundy with a fox featuring somewhere.
I have attached a copy of the existing logo for reference.
I'm going to try and give regular and constructive feedback to all entrants throughout the week.
Mid/Upper class/age Tennis Club members but needs to also appeal to a younger (18-30) audience.
A strong stand-alone icon that can be used as a badge on caps, jumpers etc as well as business cards, letterheads and a web site. Ideally it will have the appearance of an English traditional emblem with a modern twist - after all the club was founded in 1878!!!
Either as part of the icon or badge or incorporated underneath should be the words 'Leicestershire LTC' or 'Leicestershire Lawn Tennis Club'.
The final files will preferably be in a vector format. I could be persuaded by large high-res photoshop (or similar) files but please bear in mind that the logo may need to be reproduced and printed (300dpi) as large as A3 at some point in the future..
Please, no horrid script or novelty fonts, just sensible classical letter forms. Serif or Sans, I have no preference.

Tennessee enacted a law Tuesday that critics contend allows public school teachers to challenge climate change and evolution in their classrooms without fear of sanction.
Republican Gov. Bill Haslam allowed the controversial measure to become law without his signature and, in a statement, expressed misgivings about it. Nevertheless, he ignored pleas from educators, parents and civil libertarians to veto the bill.
The law does not require the teaching of alternatives to scientific theories of evolution, climate change and "the chemical origins of life." Instead, it aims to prevent school administrators from reining in teachers who expound on alternative hypotheses to those topics.
The measure's primary sponsor, Republican state Sen. Bo Watson, said it was meant to give teachers the clarity and security to discuss alternative ideas to evolution and climate change that students may have picked up at home and want to explore in class.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The executive behind Manman, one of the biggest software products of the 1970s and 1980s, has raised another $33 million for her newest company, Kenandy.
The cash will allow Kenandy, a cloud-based supply-chain software business based in Redwood City, Calif., to beef up sales and marketing and add more products, Chief Executive Sandy Kurtzig said in a telephone interview.
Lightspeed Venture Partners led the round, with existing investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Salesforce.com Inc, and law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati participating. Lightspeed partner Chris Schaepe will join Kenandy's board. The company raised $10.5 million in 2011.
She said Salesforce.com Chief Executive Marc Benioff, a neighbor of Kurtzig's in Hawaii, sparked the idea of founding Kenandy, which in many ways is a cloud-based update of her previous company, ASK Computer Systems, maker of Manman manufacturing software.
Kurtzig took ASK Computer Systems public on Nasdaq in 1981. It was later sold to CA. Originally named Mama, short for manufacturing management, the product underwent a name change after input from target customers, Kurtzig said.
"Manufacturing executives, who are mostly men, thought Manman was a more fitting product name that they could get behind than Mama," recalled Kurtzig, who was a young mother at the time she developed the software.
She plans to take Kenandy public as well, perhaps in two years or so.
"This time I want to be on the New York Stock Exchange," she said.

Shawn Maroney necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 23 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Voices of Vision
I am a professional voice talent, recording engineer, and event planner.
This is the first of it's kind event, being done in Canada. I am planning on this being an annual event. The winning designer will be allowed to publish and advertise the fact that their logo was chosen for our event . This logo will be seen around the world via the internet and signage.
New and existing voice talents, from all across North America.
The presenters and speakers at this event are some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
I envision sexy, parted, red lips. The inside of the lips should be in the shape of an eye. No teeth or side angles please and not wide mouthed! Between the lips, I would like the planet earth. Over lapping the earth, but not completely covering the earth, I would like a red Canadian maple leaf. I would also like it to look realistic, like a photograph, not too animated.Only those keeping my vision, pardon the pun, will be considered. Canada's First Class, should be above the logo as a top rocker. Voice Acting Event, should be the bottom rocker. Voices of Vision, should be either above or below, in a straight line. Have fun with it but, please keep in mind the details of the logo. These people are great story tellers. Our craft allows people to see the images in their minds. Think of how captivating Morgan Freeman sounds, when telling a story. He paints a picture with words. I hope this helps. Good luck and thank you for your time.

The Fairy Queen Revisited - Project with OAE, Beverley, 20 - 24 May 2013
The highlight of the 2013 Beverley & East Riding Festival for pupils, parents, school governors and audiences alike was the residency of members of the acclaimed Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) in Beverley Grammar and Girls' High Schools which was planned in the spring of 2012, and culminated in a week-long residency as part of the Festival. Mixing the music of 18th century English composer Henry Purcell with work on Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' the project concluded with a public performance at St Mary's Church on Thursday 23rd led by composer James Redwood and involving over 100 musicians in total.
The aims of this project were to:
- To introduce pupils of Beverley Grammar School and Beverley Girls High School to the music of England's foremost Baroque composer, Henry Purcell, in an imaginative and practical way - focusing on his semi-opera, The Fairy Queen.
- To give the participants the chance to work with some of the country's leading exponents of baroque music and a highly skilled composer.
- To give the participants the opportunity to develop skills in creative writing and musical composition.
- To give the participants the chance to give a public performance of their own songs and the music of Purcell, incorporating dance and drama into their performance.
- To give students from the University of York the opportunity to develop leadership skills and performing skills by working alongside the composer James Redwood and members of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
During the residency in Beverley, the composer and orchestra members were joined by students from the University of York's Music Education Group (MEG). These students have a particular interest in music in education and are keen to develop their skills as educators and workshop leaders. In advance of the residency, the OAE workshop leaders led a training day for the MEG students, teaching workshop-leading techniques and suggesting ways to guide young people in their own song writing. Rebecca Hart, Chair of the MEG, said of the experience: "From beginning to end the project was truly inspirational! Each day James and the team worked incredibly hard with the children to encourage and capture creative ideas. MEG were involved in this process amongst the children working with small groups to create a section of a song, lead an instrumental section or take part in the warm up activities. James and the team were so accommodating of the MEG students and so we always felt like our role was just as important as theirs. There were so many opportunities for us to learn new skills and get involved with both teaching and playing. It was such a privilege to be amongst such talented and genuine people and we hope to work with them all again in the future. "
Zoe Hughes, Head of Music at Beverley Grammar School said, "Working with the NCEM, the OAE and York University was an exciting prospect for the students of Beverley Grammar School. We were thrilled to be part of such a large project which culminated in an amazingly strong performance. Work like this is a great opportunity for students to build skills and knowledge, as well as giving them a chance to work with other students and professionals on musical composition and performance. It was great to perform in St Mary's too, bringing Beverley Grammar Schools' musical talents to the community."
Musicians involved included:
James Redwood animateur/composer
