Most people drive through Fairfax on their way to Point Reyes or other coastal attractions, but it's high time this small town at the foot of Mount Tamalpais became a destination of its own. It may be small in acreage and population, but Fairfax is chock-full of outdoor pursuits, browse-worthy shops, hip cafes and live music hot spots that resound every night of the week.
It's the total package: The town nestles against a backdrop of rolling hills, watershed reservoirs and the mighty mountain. Trails wend their way past streams and through groves of redwood, oaks and madrone. After your hike, head for the tiny downtown, which brims with craft shops, art galleries and boutiques. Some time-travel to the '60s with tie-dyed decor and incense-infused air; others embrace the present with the work of local artists.
Sip some joe — or a local craft brew. Brunch, lunch or dine. Then take in a show — Fairfax's bars, clubs and concert venues have served up live music every single night for the last 30 years.
Here's how to spend a perfect day in this hidden gem of a town.
Happy trails
In the early morning chill, throngs of cyclists congregate outside the Fairfax Coffee Roastery for a preride latte or high octane espresso. Fairfax's claim as the birthplace of mountain biking is hardly surprising. Those gorgeous trails draw hikers, cyclists and languid strollers alike. So follow their lead: java, then trail.
Part of the Mount Tamalpais watershed, Bon Tempe and Lagunitas lakes both offer a sense of wilderness adventure, as if you were in some distant mountain town, rather than minutes from lattes. The reservoirs and their connecting trails offer a multitude of hiking options, including a short, scenic 1.5-mile walk and a 3-mile loop hike between both lakes.
Bon Tempe's low water line offers a stark reminder of California's ongoing drought, but its bright blue water and scenic vistas — and the occasional great blue heron on food-alert — retain their beauty. Lagunitas Lake seems relatively untouched by climate concerns, at least from the vantage point of the forest-edged lake trail — used by hikers and bicyclists alike. Take a break on a picnic bench in the shade of the towering redwoods and listen to the birds and rustling breezes.
Downtown treats
There are several good reasons to hike early in the day: that cool morning air and the prospect of brunch afterward. My post-hike hunger propelled me back to town, where the The Hummingbird and its New Orleans-style menu drew me in. The cafe does a brisk business in sugar-dusted beignets, crawfish omelets and po'boys, as well as classic American diner fare, such as the Fairfax Sunrise Breakfast — eggs, bacon, a pancake and hash browns.
Sated, I headed out for a little boutique browsing, starting at Herban Garden, where the eco-friendly, fair-trade and vintage goods include soft cotton sari quilts and chic Nepalese leather-hemp messenger bags.
Nearby at the Potting Shed, succulents share cozy indoor and outdoor spaces with home and garden decor. Tiny translucent shells filled with budding air plants looked like little works of art.
Antiques mingle with the work of local artists at Trouve, and contemporary pieces — graphic, modern laser-cut jewelry, for example — coexist with old-school works, like the framed retro photographs of ethereal, misty forest scenes.
Be sure to check out the huge Garage, where the philosophy (repurpose, up-cycle and add whimsy) results in an eclectic collection of quirky items outdoors and an interior filled with locally made goods.
If you're out with the kids, stop by Peri Park, where imaginative play structures rule the day, then surrender to the inevitable. Everyone, it seems, has ice cream. You should too. So head to the closet-sized home of Fairfax Scoop, where addictively crunchy waffle cones hold scoops of house-made organic ice cream, flavored with local ingredients. May I suggest the vanilla with honey and lavender?
Beer, wine and music
It's a rare grown-up who doesn't love ice cream, but if you're looking for a more adult repast, Gestalt Haus should be your next stop. You can savor some great sausages, choose from 20 beers on tap and hang out with cyclists swapping "where did you bike today" tales.
At 123 Bolinas, locally sourced artisanal fare — food, wine and craft beer — is served in a rustic chic space with white oak trusses, beams and barn siding.
You'll find music of every variety, from rock, blues and funk to jazz, reggae and world music at Fairfax nightclubs, such as 19 Broadway, Peri's Silver Dollar Bar and the Sleeping Lady, where a recent Saturday afternoon gig featured a ukulele band. You're as likely to find Euro-gypsy as soul music at Peri's, and 19 Broadway boasts live music — jazz, rock and more — nearly every night.
Whatever you choose, it's the perfect way to end a perfectly charming day.

Telluride History
Founded in 1878, Telluride's history is as colorful as the Victorian homes lining the streets.
Originally named Columbia, the fledgling town was forced to change its name in 1887 due to post office confusion with Columbia, California. From 1887 on, Telluride began to earn its place on the map as a budding mining town.
Most say Telluride is named after tellurium, a nonmetallic element associated with rich mineral deposits of gold and silver. Others say it originated from the castaway call "To-Hell-You-Ride" shouted by loved ones who knew of the town's boisterousness. Either way, folks were attracted to the young town full of promise and opportunity.
At the height of the gold rush, nearly 5,000 people inhabited Telluride, referred to as the "town without a bellyache."
In fact, at the turn of the century, more millionaires (per capita) lived in Telluride than in New York City. The Tomboy Mine was one of the world's greatest gold producers and contributed to more than $360 million dollars of gold pulled out of the area.
The wealth of Telluride attracted the likes of Butch Cassidy, who began his illustrious bank robbing career in town. In 1889, Butch walked away from his first heist at the San Miguel Valley Bank with $24,580, never to be recovered.
All good things came to an end when Telluride's boom days started moving toward bust. The final blow came when many of the area's mines shut down in 1953. Families left town in droves and those who stayed realized Telluride's heyday was a thing of the past. After the 1950's mining bust, Telluride faded into a sleepy ghost town.
Snow–once despised by the miners, falls in glorious abundance on the tops of mountains and covers the ski trails. It also put Telluride back on the map. The Scandinavian sport of skiing was introduced to Telluride by Swedes and Finns, maybe for the sheer joy, but more for the quick means of transportation.
Nearly 40 years later, Joe Zoline, a wealthy entrepreneur from Beverly Hills, envisioned how snow could transform Telluride. His dream of building a ski area came to fruition in 1972 when the Telluride Ski Resort opened with five lifts and a day lodge. Six years later, two Colorado natives, Ron Allred and Jim Wells, purchased the ski area and transformed Telluride into a world class resort through mountain upgrades, development of Mountain Village (in 1985), and the creation of innovative public transportation systems – the gondola and chondola.
In 2004, Chuck Horning and partners purchased the resort and have since facilitated the expansion into Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak, the Gold Hill Chutes and Revelation Bowl.
Mountain Village, Colorado
Perched at 9,500 feet, Mountain Village is an intimate alpine enclave with luxury hotels andcondominiums, stylish boutiques and innovative dining. Home to the state-of-the-artTelluride Conference Center, and world renowned hotels including The Peaks Resort,Lumiere and Hotel Madeline, this European-styled alpine village provides unsurpassed scenic ambiance with an emphasis on guest service.
All elements combine to create a modern alpine European elegance to complement the rustic charm of Telluride.
Today, the population teeters around 2,500 in the town of Telluride and 1,400 year round in Mountain Village. Skis, boots and snowboards have replaced the pick, shovel and hammer. Few predicted the incredible impact snow would have on this once sleepy town as Telluride is again the desirable, energetic community of a century ago.
Mention Telluride and those who know this authentic mountain gem grin in appreciation of its sheer beauty and charm.
Today in Telluride and Mountain Village
Victorian architecture and colorful storefronts distinguish Telluride's Main Street, while European alpine elegance surrounds the Mountain Village core.
Food aficionados delight in the innovation and quality of food in this small resort, boasting over 60 restaurants, coffee shops and bars. New approaches in American cuisine, wine cellars to rival those found on either coast and tasting menus prepared by seasoned chefs create the perfect atmosphere to match any mood.

Dr. Frank Lipman reveals how to become un-Spent
Dr. Frank Lipman did an interview for Gwyneth Paltrow on her site GOOP.com just yesterday and he's given Cult Beauty the transcript... read on to see what he recommends to live a life less Spent.
What does SPENT mean?
"SPENT is the word I use to describe people that are overwhelmed, fatigued and feel older than their years. Does this scenario sound familiar? You wake up in the morning groggy and need coffee or something sugary to get going. Then you need more of the same later in the day to keep going. Your brain feels foggy; you're not sleeping well; your body aches all over; your cold never goes away, and your sex drive is down. You are running on empty, your energy account is tapped-out, you are physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted... spent. Interestingly most people think it is normal to feel like this."
What are some practical things we can do to get back in rhythm?
"Eat in accordance to your body's rhythms. Since your metabolism peaks at about noon, it is better for your body to have a bigger breakfast and lunch and smaller dinner. Eat good fats and protein for breakfast because that is what your body needs for fuel during the day. All-natural smoothies are a great way to get both of these into your diet. The typical sugar and carb-laden breakfast of a bagel, muffin, toast or sugary cereal are just about the worst things you can have; so avoid those at all costs."
Read the full interview here.

Friday, September 09, 2011 - Mattias and Danek
Mattias Solich is such a grat looking guy that we just had to rush him to a screentest to see how he would get on. We paired him with Danek Carka in what turned out to be a great scene. Things start off with Danek briefly interviewing Mattias, to set the scene, and then they start to kiss. Danek is frantic to get to Mattia's cock, and pulls open the jeans to reveal a nice hard cock, which he immediately starts to suck. Mattias pulls his jeans off, so we can see more, and Danek sucks again, wanking himself as he does so, then Mattias reaches over and pulls on Danek's cock himself. Mattias then goes down on Danek, giving us a great view of his bubble butt too. Danek is rock hard as Mattias sucks him real good, licking around the bulbous cockhead, licking up and down the shaft and taking that stiff dick in his mouth. Then Danek returns the favor again before they move to a 69, with Mattias on top, giving Danek access to that lovely ass. Danek gets his tongue right in there and spits on the hole and slips his fingers in there, getting it ready for what is to come. Then they change position so that Mattias can sit on Daneks throbbing cock. He sits all the way down on it and starts to ride it. Then Danek starts fucking, thrusting upwards to get the whole of his dick deep in Mattias' tight ass. Then Mattias turns around and rides that cock some more, taking it all the way. Then the guys move to a spoon position, with Mattias leg in the air so we get a great view of the dick pounding his hole. Danek moves to missionary and fucks real hard, till he fucks the cum out of Mattias' cock. Then he pulls out and shoots his load over Mattias cock. A final kiss brings the scene to an end. Mattias passed his screentest with ease, showing us what great performer he is. I am sure we will see much more of him.
Jakub Stehno is aged 20 and lives in Vysoke Myto. He works as a cook and enjoys fitness and football. Jakub looks very good, and after a brief interview he removes his shoes and socks and starts to rub himself. Removing his tee-shirt Jakub stands, and we see that he is very nicely built. He looks really fit. He pulls his shorts down some, so we see the bulge in his slipys, and he starts to rub that bulge. Then he pulls them down too and releases a nice big cock, already quite hard. He starts to wank that cock as he also caresses his chest. After some very nice wanking Jakub turns around and shows us his ass, which is nicely covered with hair. He spreads his cheeks so we can see his pucker hole. Then he goes down on his knees, bending over the couch, with that lovely ass in full view. A helping hand arrives and pushes Jakubs dick back between his legs so we see cock and ass together. Then the hands get some oil and rubs it over Jakub's ass, so it glistens beautifully. Then the hands spread the ass cheeks, pushing the cock back again, and wanking it. Jakub then turns over and lays down so the hands can wank his throbbing cock. It is big and thick and looks great. Jakub lifts his legs so we see some more of that very inviting hole, as he is being wanked. Finally Jakub wanks himself and drops a nice thick load on his leg and goes off to the shower to clean up. Jakub looks great in this video, I would love to see him go further.
We did a really lovely scene with Jan Pribyla and Drew Hemcak a few weeks ago, on location. This is a bonus backstage video of that shoot, where we get to see how the video was shot, with the crew working, and instructing Jan and Drew on the action. A very nice little insight into how it is all put together.
Jan Ledecky is from Brandys nad Labem and is aged 22. He is a student who likes motorsports, snowboarding and sport generally. Jan is a very handsome guy and has an excellent body too. He looks great in this stills shoot, as he gets naked and hard. His dick points skywards, standing proud when hard. He also has a very attractive ass which he spreads very well so we can see his tight pucker hole. This is a very good shoot indeed, It has whetted my appetite for his erotic video.

We already know that LinkedIn is more effective at generating leads than Facebook or Twitter. 277% more effective, in fact. It also has over 100 million users, is a B2B marketing goldmine, and allows brands and individuals to build valuable industry connections that can lead to opportunities for new business, co-marketing and affiliate agreements, and even land you your next rock-star hire.
The companies that turn these possibilities into realities are those who leverage all the little hidden marketing gems LinkedIn has to offer -- and there are a lot of them. Here, we examine 11 features of LinkedIn functionality that many marketers either overlook, or just plain didn't know about, and explain how they can bolster your inbound marketing.
LinkedIn Answers
LinkedIn Answers is a forum for people to ask and answer questions. Aside from the obvious thought leadership credibility you can gain from providing clear answers to questions here, it is also a great opportunity to identify industry influencers with whom to network. LinkedIn Answers actually provides you with the ability to search through experts in the Top Experts section.
Know what that means? Guest blogging, that's what it means. If you're having trouble keeping your blog fed, the top experts on LinkedIn Answers are the people to reach out to. Ask them to take some of the most common questions they answer, and write a post for your blog on that topic. Then whenever the question comes up again, they can refer people to the blog post they wrote for you on the subject. They save time and build their reputation, and you get the SEO and content creation benefits.
You can find more creative uses of LinkedIn Answers in Kipp Bodnar's blog post on the subject.
Group Statistics
Found under 'More' in the navigation of your LinkedIn group, Group Statistics gives you insights about group members, whether you own the group or not. Use the data available in Group Statistics to help refine the targeting of your advertising and marketing campaigns.
For example, if you're running ads on LinkedIn, take a look at the activity levels of groups you're considering targeting in Group Statistics to ensure you're only targeting ads at the most active LinkedIn users.
If they're not spending time on LinkedIn, you're not going to see many impressions and clicks, and thus won't garner much return on your campaign. You can use Group Statistics to further refine your ads based on data like company, industry, and professional status. You can also use group statistics to target people based on city, professional status in the company, and industry.
You can also stalk other groups (remember, you don't have to own the group to look at their Group Statistics!) that represent good microcosms for your own marketing efforts. Think of it as an inside look on a focus group that can help you inform your marketing personas and campaigns. For example, if you're looking to sell to small business owners in the healthcare industry, find groups that are active and collect information like geographic location, topics of discussion, other industries they discuss, and seniority level.
You may also find, after looking at the statistics of certain groups, that they have an audience with whom you should be connected. Join that group! Remember, if you're both in the same group, you have the ability to message a member even if you're not a first degree connection -- just one more benefit to using data to scout out the right groups for you!
So there's LinkedIn groups, but did you know there were also subgroups of those groups? It's true; click 'More' on the tab of your LinkedIn group, and you'll see it there!
A subgroup is a space within your group where members can collaborate based on a function, project, topic, location, or anything else. As your group grows, you'll find that maintaining relevancy for everyone becomes more difficult, because there are naturally some topics, industries, or side projects that develop that don't pertain to everyone. Just like Google+ has Circles to combat this relevancy problem, you can use LinkedIn subgroups to filter out any content that isn't relevant for the entire group and keep your members engaged. These subgroups can have their own discussions, news, jobs, and digest emails as regular groups, too!
Targeted Product Tabs
You probably know about the product tab on your LinkedIn company page, but did you know you can do more than just blanket product information out there for the entire LinkedIn universe? You can actually create different variations of your product tab for each segment of your target audience.
Create a default version of your page, then iterate on it so the most appropriately messaged page appears based on the characteristics of your target audience -- like company size, job function, industry, seniority, and geographic location. If you'd like a step-by-step tutorial on this process, we've written a blog post that explains how to set up variations of your product tab.
LinkedIn Apps
Did you know there's a LinkedIn Application Directory? You can enhance your profile and better collaborate with your network with many of these apps. Here are some of the most useful ones:
- SlideShare Presentations: Sometimes marketers forget that the slideshows they develop also make for remarkable B2B content. This app lets you import presentations from your current SlideShare account, and continue to share that content with LinkedIn members as you add to it.
- WordPress: If your blog runs on WordPress, this app will let you sync the posts you publish to also appear on your LinkedIn profile to help you get more traffic to your site and more social shares.
- Box.net Files: You know that whitepaper you just published under the Resources section of your website? You know where else you should share it? The Box.net Files app lets you easily share that content.
- Company Buzz: Manage your reputation with this app, which lets you track what people are saying about your company, tailored to the trends and keywords you input.
There are a couple more great apps in there, but we'll cover their epic uses a little later in the post.
Skills & Expertise
This tool is currently in beta, and already we love it. Skills & Expertise lets you search for LinkedIn members, companies, and groups based on the skills and expertise they list.
What is this good for? When you search for a skill -- whether for business development deals, recruiting, personal networking, or to build LinkedIn group and page membership -- you can find the best people on LinkedIn to speak with related to that query, their locations, groups that are discussing the topic, and see the growth of that industry over time. If you're starting a new business or just starting to grow your social presence, it means you're choosing only the best people with whom to network and learn from on LinkedIn.
News Module
This is an easy one, which is why everyone with a LinkedIn Company Page should be using it. The News Module not only feeds mentions of your business to your LinkedIn company page, but it also shows news to those who have your name listed in their profile. That means news about you has a greater likelihood of showing up in someone else's news feed -- in other words, the News Module is marketing your company for you. Plus, it can help that third party content about your company get more social visibility when members see it and share it with their networks. To enable it, simply go to your page's 'Overview' tab while in edit mode, and check 'Share news about my company' under 'News Module.'
LinkedIn Events
Another great LinkedIn app, LinkedIn Events is so useful for both event marketers and event attendees that it deserves a section of its own.
This app is so useful because it doesn't put the onus on you to search for events to attend in your industry. The app automatically delivers personalized recommendations for events you should attend based on your industry, location, and what events your connections are attending. That means you can be where your customers, vendors, and industry influencers are going. The app makes that even easier by including a feature called 'Attendees You May Want to Meet.' With this feature, LinkedIn surfaces important people attending the event with whom you may want to connect (or at least prepare for your run-in at the actual event), or you can take the reins and filter by company and industry to find other opportunities.
LinkedIn Polls
Groups now have the ability to poll people, and it's really, really easy to do. Just go to the group in which you want to publish a poll (it's up to group managers to decide whether everyone can publish polls regardless of group membership), hit 'Poll', enter your question, and schedule for how long you'd like your poll to run.
Polling a group not only lets you perform your own market research and collect interesting data for content creation, but doing it on LinkedIn also means it can be extremely targeted based on group demographics. And remember Group Statistics? Now you can use that information to get seriously targeted with the groups you poll. Or if you're trying to drum up membership for your own LinkedIn Group, make use of the Tweet feature that allows you to share your poll on Twitter and get your group more traffic, activity, and membership.
Company Status Updates
"Wait, this isn't an unknown LinkedIn feature!" It's not? Well then why aren't more companies using it?
Company pages now have the functionality (and have for several months) to post status updates, just like you can on personal profiles or your company Facebook page. If you haven't enabled it, check out this blog post to learn how to easily turn on the functionality.
Post content you've created, post questions to your page followers, and share other peoples' content to get more followers, drive more traffic to your website, and generate leads from LinkedIn. It's one of the easiest things you can do, and you can integrate with the day-to-day social media posting you already do on Twitter and Facebook.
Export Contacts
Since you've been taking advantage of all these underused LinkedIn features, you've been building up quite the virtual rolodex. As such, it'd be helpful to import them into your CRM, no? Good thing LinkedIn makes it easy to export your LinkedIn contacts for just that purpose.
Just be sure not to opt them into any email communications or lead nurturing campaigns when you bring them into your CRM -- they haven't given you permission yet!
What other LinkedIn marketing gems can you share that people don't know about, or underutilize?

Eve Ensler doesn't mince words.
"I have been exiled from my body. I was ejected at a very young age and I got lost," she writes early in her recent memoir about cancer and the Congo, "In the Body of the World." "Cancer threw me through the window of my dissociation….The Congo threw me deep into the crisis of the world…"
The creator of the world-wide phenomenon "The Vagina Monologues" — and V-Day, the gender justice organization born of it — will be in Boulder, Friday, Oct. 11, for "Body of Work," a promisingly wild night of readings, performance and music on behalf of Local Theater Company.

• Group commission revenues increase by 26.2 percent to 229.4 million euros
Hamburg, 15 July 2016. The Engel & Völkers Group generated 229.4 million euros in total commission revenues in the first half-year 2016. This equates to a 26.2 percent growth over the same period in the previous year (1st half-year 2015: 181.7 million euros). "Demand for premium property in internationally reputed first and second home markets has increased significantly once again. Our strong expansion strategy, particularly in Europe and the USA, has had an extremely positive impact on our turnover," said Christian Völkers, Founder and CEO of Engel & Völkers AG.
Expansion in Europe and North America yields returns
Residential property shops in the DACH region grew revenues by 13 percent to 84.4 million euros (74.6 million euros). In Spain, residential property shops achieved the highest growth internationally, with a 41 percent rise to 20.6 million euros (14.6 million euros). The Market Centers in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia increased their combined turnover by 60 percent to 13.1 million euros (8.2 million euros). In Italy, the high demand for prestigious real estate also had a positive effect on performance figures. Residential property shops grew revenues by 15 percent to 4.5 million euros (3.9 million euros). In North America, Engel & Völkers is currently profiting from a recovering real estate economy and the opening of new residential property shops in prime locations. This strong expansion resulted in a 45.9 percent rise in revenues to 42.0 million euros (28.8 million euros).
Significant revenue increase in the Commercial division
A new record was set by the Commercial division, with a 25.4 percent growth in turnover to 34.0 million euros (27.1 million euros). The high demand from investors for Residential Investment properties continues unabated. There is also growing interest in sales of entire property portfolios. Consequently, the recent brokerage of a portfolio with 26 building complexes contributed to the division's positive performance.
Engel & Völkers is looking to recruit new real estate agents
For the remainder of this financial year, Engel & Völkers is forecasting further growth in all business divisions. This growth also entails an increased need for qualified real estate agents. "By the end of the year we are aiming to acquire around 1,300 additional real estate agents," Mr. Völkers revealed.

Several new books offer truths and trivia about tractors.
New anthologies from three publishing companies will help collectors gain insight into the history of collectible tractors. On long winter nights, you may want to settle into your favorite chair with these books for an interesting read.
100 Years of Vintage Farm Tractors. It's a simple love story that turns into a full-blown affair. It doesn't claim to be historical, and it's not filled with facts and details. It's just a book celebrating the love people have for vintage farm tractors.
100 Years covers the first "Iron Horses," homebuilt tractors and renovated relics. Fans will find images of some of their favorite tractors - from Poppin' Johnnies to Minnie Mos, from Farmalls to Fordsons.
Story writers include Roger Welch and Lauran Paine, Jr., author of "Man Things," who writes, "[Tractors] are awesome. They are so powerful, so purposeful. You just love to run them. You sit up high...with a steering wheel and levers and pedals and buttons and toggles and power....Man, it makes you feel good just being there and sharing life with it....And you can see the result of your work."
The book is from Voyageur Press. The editor, Michael Dregni, drove his first tractor at age eight (piloting a Deere from his father's lap) and is editor of This Old Tractor and This Old Farm. Price: $30, plus shipping and handling. Contact Voyageur Press, Dept. FIN, 123 N. Second St., Stillwater, MN 55082, 800/837-2210, www.voyageurpress.com.
Fords and Internationals. Two new paperbacks, also from Voyageur, are now available for $20 each. Vintage International Harvester Tractors and Vintage Ford Tractors are for tractor buffs who want a history of their favorite brand. Both offer old and new photographs in black and white and color. Contact the address given above.
Caterpillar track tractors. The Caterpillar Pocket Guide, from Iconografix, is filled with information track-type tractor collectors look for. The guide covers tractors built from 1925 to 1957, including those from the Holt-Best merger, along with photographs, brief descriptions and stats (including serial numbers). It also contains sections on diesel engines, high-clearance tractors, and variations, options and accessories. Price: $20, plus shipping and handling. Contact Iconografix Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 446, Hudson, WI 54016, 715/381-9755.
John Deere gift book. Genuine Value: The John Deere Journey comes just in time for the holiday gift season and the unabashed John Deere fan in your life. More than 200 richly illustrated pages in this coffee-table book cover John Deere's history, some of its classic equipment and many of its people. Along the way, the company hopes you'll learn how the "leaping deer" logo transcended its simple role as a label for green farm tractors and came to symbolize larger ideas such as value, quality and integrity.
If you like John Deere tractors, but stop short of wearing green underwear, the "value" messages throughout the book might seem a little syrupy, though you might consider them a bonus if you feel a burning need for motivational sayings. If not, you'll still enjoy reading about the tractors and looking at all the large-format pictures. Deere is selling the book for $50; a leather-bound edition is $255, plus $6.50 shipping and handling. Contact Genuine Value, Dept. FIN, Box 411037, Kansas City, MO 64179-0365, 800/455-1174, ext. 374.

There are lots of old buildings on Long Island. The North Shore, Gatsby-like houses tend to be too old to fix up and too expensive to maintain. But one of Long Island's oldest structures that has always deserved attention and gotten little respect is the Nassau Coliseum. Whether by luck or circumstance, the Coliseum is now a hot topic.
Built over 40 years ago, due to the efforts of the late County Executive Eugene Nickerson, it has stood as a monument to government paralysis and indifference. One county official after another has come up with suggestions about modernizing the aging facility or demolishing it to make way for a massive commercial enterprise. It has undergone only one change in all those years, and that was a change of name to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The owner of the New York Islanders, Charles Wang, made the most lavish proposal to redevelop the arena property and replace it with the Lighthouse project. Wang had a vision of a modern arena, housing and other attractions. While he had the support of the county, the town, which is responsible for the property's zoning, wanted no part of the Lighthouse project.
Now, to his credit, the current county executive, Ed Mangano, has solicited proposals to transform the arena into a modern center of arts, sports and business. Partially out of vision and also a need for new county revenue, Mangano has stimulated some serious debate about the future of this white elephant that sits dark for most of the year.
Four bidders have come forward with comprehensive proposals to turn the building into a sleek, modern attraction that could be an enormous asset to a region that is home to over 3 million people. All of the bidders have offered substantial infusions of money to either rebuild the Coliseum or tear it down and replace it with a new entertainment complex.
While most of the bids are attractive, the bidders all seem to agree that the newer building must be smaller than the current one, and must be part of a complex that will attract people throughout the year. Long Island could use a venue that will bring in people from all over the downstate region, and this could be its last best hope.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a simple, fast test to check the electrical activity and general function of your child's heart as blood moves through it. Abnormal ECG results may mean there is a problem with your child's heart.
An exercise ECG checks the electrical activity during exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike. This test is seldom done on young children. But it may be very useful in teens and young adults.
The test is done in a healthcare provider's office, hospital, or another place. The equipment used includes an ECG machine, electrodes, and wires. The wires connect the electrodes to the ECG machine. A blood pressure cuff is also used to check your child's blood pressure during exercise. Your child will exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike.
Exercise ECG testing usually follows these steps:
The test will take about an hour, including check-in, preparation, and the test.
Your child may feel a little tired or sore after the test, particularly if he or she is not used to exercising. Otherwise, your child should feel normal after the test.
Depending on the results of the exercise ECG, your child's healthcare provider may order more tests.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure for your child make sure you know:

Attendance/Student Participation
Education is a cooperative endeavor between the student and the instructor. Instructors plan a variety of learning activities to help their students master the course content. Students are expected to participate in these activities within the framework established in the class syllabus. Faculty will identify specific class attendance policies and other requirements of the class in the syllabus that is distributed at the beginning of each term. Successful learning requires good communication between students and instructors; therefore, in most cases, regular classroom attendance, or regular participation in the case of a nontraditional course format, is essential.
It is the student's responsibility to inform his/her instructor prior to an absence from class. Students are responsible for making up all coursework missed during an absence. In the event of unexplained absences, the instructor may withdraw a student administratively from the course.
If a student does not attend at least one class meeting or participate in an online learning class by the "last day to drop with a tuition refund" (census date), his/her class registration will be administratively deleted. This means that there will be no record of the class or any letter grade on the student's transcript. Furthermore, the student's class load will be reduced by the course credits, and this may affect his/her full-time or part-time student status. Tuition will not be refunded.

Mamma Mia. Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find. The Greek tragi-comedic musical continues to play on continuous loop. Leading characters are still struggling to sing from the same song sheet, emitting only a discordant jumble of sound and fury to set investor nerves a jangling. Which would be entertaining, if it weren't so potentially lethal for the global credit system and world economy.
"Hey," I hear you ask, "didn't those guys sort all this out last week?" Well, yes. And a couple of months before that, and once early last year. Greece is now onto its second of two €110 billion ($146 billion) bailouts arranged by the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund. The first was approved in May last year, the second in July this year. Greek and European officials have been locked in furious negotiations ever since about the size of Greek budget cuts required in return for the money Greece needs to keep paying its bills.
In June, Greek protesters and police clashed violently in the streets outside the Greek Parliament as members voted in favour of a radical five-year austerity plan. Euro ministers are now insisting on another pound of flesh from Greek government spending in return for a bailout package to write down 50 per cent of its debts. This latest package also includes euro countries stumping up hundreds of billions to beef up the euro zone's rescue fund – the European Financial Stability Facility – to €1 trillion, up from an original €440 billion.
How did the shining jewel of the Mediterranean become such an international touch point?
The Greek economy itself is small. At about $US300 billion its annual economic output is about a quarter the size of Australia's. About one in five Greeks are employed in tourism, with shipping and food processing other big employers. Greece is one of the euro area's biggest producers of cotton, rice and olives.
It is the potential ripple effects of a Greek default – if Greece is unable to keep making payments on its loans – that worry international investors. Losses would fan out across Europe, particularly to the predominantly French and German banks, and their shareholders, who bankroll Greece's debts. Greek banks are also heavily exposed to Greek government debt, creating the potential for a run on the nation's entire banking system should it default or exit the euro in a messy way. Either of these events would have a devastating impact on global investor confidence, pushing up the cost of all international borrowing, which could in turn make it hard for indebted Italy – Europe's third-largest economy – to continue funding its debts.
European leaders refuse to countenance such a possibility. And so the citizens of Greece, already suffering double-digit unemployment, must accept more public sector job cuts and pension cuts.
There are two problems with this approach. The first is a political one. Such austerity is likely to continue fuelling civil unrest, meaning continued political instability and potential for future default.
The second is economic. Austerity policies, by removing demand from the economy, cripple the very growth needed to generate the revenues to keep meeting debt repayments. Bailouts are arguably a Band-Aid solution to keep an essentially insolvent nation lurching from one budget crisis to the next trying to make ends meet. The Greek economy could be on the ropes for decades to come and that is hardly a recipe for stability.

I just wanna to fifty thousand dollars thanks to a survey and way to finish my education once years ever when and ... as Miss America I'll be traveling the country promoting education going in DC this weekend ... to me with the Secretary of Education Arne Duncan Rana discuss how we can ... stand ... and in addition I'll be working with children's miracle Network hospitals as an ambassador ... I have my first appearance with them and that he wears is really exciting so the Miss America contestants at the state and local level ... raise money for CNN's lesson that were all collectively working on ... and additional am a requirement for snowplow firms's stock the downtown section and its surroundings in a lot of work with ... different organizations like stop it now says her eyes and I child abuse prevention program to really help bring awareness of at Suntec then and hopefully change legislation ... wow so it's good to be a busy year for you ... let's go back because you're from Alabama ... and I you grew up ... wanting to be Miss America warned ... within that process star for you ... the firm year has about thirteen so bad ... Alabama program started in teen pageant that ... was meant to be a feeder into Miss Alabama and then alternately been isn't an organization ... became a national passion for teens as well since Miss America's outstanding teen now they also get scholarship money ... to certain thirteen and I just happen to do really well in the first pageant an ... iconic our little ... fire under my it under my belly for inside came back to next year ... was the first runner up and I came back again as second runner up ... time and I was first runner up twice in this new work ... so ... it's definitely been a story of perseverance and continuing with my Dr that ... I ... finally made it obviously there was something that happened earlier on all that you were in a victim of child sexual abuse that what was it that inspired you to choose managing to halt middle NMI family worse actually induced on than units in tying numbers and there's the speculation that there are some in my family worse actually news as well ... so although it didn't happen to me personally ... and inexperience all of their poster matic stress send this to my mother and my aunt and my cousins depression ... on anxiety in ... time no post accesses were ... different different things affected all of them ... and ... they've been rippled into me so ... when when my mother is going through depression was in high school I went for two years essentially about a mom ... I mean there's there's so many ways that other people can be affected by it but what I really wanna focus on this or miss as Miss America says educating kids making them aware that something that does happen ... and giving them the tools to get out of situations ... that I think that ... in recent years especially ... of the issues have become ... very heavy ... you know with with ... the last Miss America ... was ... advocating for children of incarcerated parents is that a big changes are seen at ... all I think I will or understanding now is that ... the women who are crowned Miss America and the women who are at a state level ... have something of substance to say what's important is someone ... you may not be important to someone else and some people may have a very lighthearted ... fun that's ... something that's you know in every community ... but the reality is is that all of us have something that touched our lives and so it's really important for us to bring to the forefront ... I think that if I have the ability as Miss America or even as Mr. Hughart ... to bring attention to the fact that children are beings actually be is ... that why why is this popper for something that's not a serious one night use this as the opportunity to say hey this is a problem in our society and we need to do something about it was there any point where you were discouraged ... from choosing Minister Clare absolutely so for the first ... plane the first four or five years as a premise America actually works the dove campaign for real beauty ... so I was hoping is the self esteem and really trying to empower them because ... I really felt like was that they needed that in order to ... to get out of the situation towns actually these but I needed the permission of my mother ... and my aunt and other family members to share their story ... and I didn't have that because it is that there are still dealing with ... but as it all there ... I he I called my mom one day this is my last on atmospheric and said mom ... I really can use his time for him ... and the same time she said I really do need to speak on child sex abuse ... literally at the same moment we had the same thought ... and so on she kind of gave me permission to share her story and to speak to a place of authenticity ... and what motivated ... me ... well my mom was really prominent our community says the DNC Chair sounds a really big dance studio she owns another one ... the deeper down the street so I think that she was kind of coming to the realization that she and the ability as a community leader to create change in her community as I was doing in your so bite me ... opening up that topic of conversation and her making it something that was known she was giving kids the ability to come to her as well ... and so she ... was creating change ... Alabama ... in the same way that I was creating change in your record given me permission to share her story we did the individuals who ... abuse their family members did they get brought to justice ... unfortunately now so ... the other problem lies within that sometimes children speak up and and her ... and that's what happened in my family and so once my mother spoke up and was in her that she didn't speak up again ... so that's another mass is is really important to me is that we need to teach children that they need to speak up an event I heard the first time ... to keep speaking up ... and so the person who ... could do that to my mother died was not brought to justice but with that of families and is no longer ally ... okay ... it was a step parent ... and so as you go forward ... he think about this ... as your plan Former New Moon ... it comes at a time when we are obviously with the in state tuition ... and so many other ... instances where this is an ... opportune time for you because it's what you are receptive to what are you finding that ... I'm ... why was I was at Versace and chat as I would like for them to be ... on it's really easy to go in and speak to adults ... their effective teacher in the mass ends ...

I'm not sure that holds me it mean that the judges Justice to be ... judging eyes on do we have an opinion ... and can we share it ... eloquently ... assessed as indeed does upon what our opinion actually and so ... it's more about how comfortable are you speaking in front of people on how comfortable are you being interviewed on stage is one thing ... to do that and and heavy rain which is what we do were duds for ten minutes ... free competition ... aam but this was the kind of looking for that person is comparable in their scan and ... who can share their opinions so ... it was a turning point ... but not because of my opinion more because of the represented ok so now ... you have a year ... the euro to do with its volunteer work during the where with all of the sponsors ... be on ... hand to this ... what ... do you want to do with you ... well I'd like to use my fifty thousand dollars scholarship to continue my education access to technology ... aam write downs saying advertising marketing and communications but they have a bachelor's program and cosmetics and fragrance marketing so ...

As a fed-up voter, here is what I think needs to happen to Congress:
1. Let the nation decide the big issues. Put an amendment on the November ballot and let the people vote. Majority wins!
2. You want to touch my social security? Then I want to touch yours. Congress works for the American people — Why are their benefits better than mine? Put Congress on Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, then they'll find a way to fix it.
3. We should get to vote on our Congressmen's pay increases. I can't go into my job and tell my boss I'm giving myself a raise. Come up with a number and put it on a ballot — the American people will tell you how your job performance is.
Congress should be working for the American people to make our country better. Compromise is not a bad word — it's how things get done. If 5-year-olds can do it, adults should be able to, as well.

The early economic impact of Super Storm Sandy could start to show up in the coming week's data, while investors remain riveted by Washington's new urgency to fix the "fiscal cliff."
There are retail sales data for October Wednesday and a number of major retailers' earnings, including Wal-Mart and Home Depot, which could show some storm impact at their east coast stores. Traders are also watching Europe, where the Eurogroup finance ministers meets Monday, amid anxiety over Greece.
The week will start off slowly, with bond markets closed for Veteran's Day Monday.
Congress returns Tuesday, and President Barack Obama holds meetings with Congressional leaders at the White House during the week, in an effort to find common ground on the fiscal cliff. The cliff is the slam the economy would feel from the $607 billion tax increases and spending cuts that start Jan. 1. Congress put off working on the fiscal issues until it was clear who would win the White House and what the makeup of Congress would be since each party has a different view on revenues and spending. (Read more: Fiscal Cliff: Complete Coverage)
"We're going to have a lot of uncertainty about this, whether they're going to push out the cliff or come together quickly and talk about some type of longer term scheme that looks like it's dealing with the debt and deficits," said Stuart Freeman, chief U.S. equity strategist with Wells Fargo Advisors. "If that happened, of course the market would love that. But I'd assume we'll see some brinkmanship here. No one wants to crater first."
The Dow was down 2.1 percent for the week, to 12,815, but it lost 3.5 percent since Tuesday's election, which resulted in re-election of Obama and the status quo of a Republican-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate. Stocks sold off on several factors, but a big one was the concern that a gridlocked Congress will not be able to find compromise in time. The S&P 500 fell 2.4 percent for the week to 1379, but was down 3.5 percent since Tuesday. (Read more: 'Cliff' Fears Give Stocks Worst Week Since June)
"I think we're just going to bounce around here. We're kind of sitting at the 200-day moving average (on the S&P), and I think this market, while we're waiting and watching, is going to be kind of nervous," Freeman said. "…even though the fundamentals are still improving on the housing numbers, which are slowly getting better. The confidence of consumers rose again today, and it's been pretty consistent."
Consumers are beginning to borrow more and spend more. "No matter who won, we thought the cycle was going to accelerate a little bit this year," said Freeman. Consumer sentiment on Friday was at a five-year high.
The retail-sales report for October, however, is expected to show a decline of 0.2 percent after September's 1.1-percent gain. Deutsche Bank chief U.S. economist Joseph LaVorgna said Wednesday's retail-sales report and industrial production on Friday could show some impacts from Sandy, but the storm made landfall on the third to last day of the month, so the impairment should be relatively small. He said some spending gets a boost but discretionary spending categories typically decline and there's usually a slowdown after the storm. (Read more: Retail's New Grinch: A Sandy-Snarled Supply Chain)
November regional Fed surveys, including the New York Empire State survey and the Philadelphia Fed survey Thursday should give some feedback on storm impact, he said in a note.
LaVorgna expects the drag from Super Storm Sandy to be 0.5 percent on fourth-quarter GDP.
"We estimate that about a third of the economic activity in the region was shuttered during the storm. This means that during the week of the storm, the affected region accounted for about 15 percent of national economic output instead of 22 percent, thereby resulting in a short-term drop in national economic activity," he wrote.
Greg Peters, Morgan Stanley head of cross-asset strategy, said the data for the time being are going to be muddied by Sandy. "Hurricane Sandy gives us a free pass on the data front," said Peters. "The fourth quarter is going to be weak. The fact that Sandy kind of taints those numbers is somewhat of a perverse positive."
Peters said he has become constructive on U.S. stocks. He believes the fiscal cliff will be addressed, at least before the debt ceiling needs to be raised in February. He also thinks European leaders will make further moves to stop the crisis.
"From now, I think it will press higher," said Peters of the stock market. "There's been a re-pricing, not massive but decent. I think there's real upside here. What I'm suggesting, which is counter to what most people think is the January effect will be earlier this year. It will be around Thanksgiving when this thing start to kick in at once. It could all go horribly wrong if politics (messes) this up. I think you're getting a truer kind of leadership and government here than you did during the campaign."
Both Obama and House Speaker John Boehner spoke Friday, saying they hoped to find common ground on fiscal matters. But each made clear they still disagree on taxes. (Read more: Markets Still Waiting for Breakthrough on 'Fiscal Cliff')
In the week ahead, traders will be watching Greece, expected to issue short-term debt to meet a 4 billion euro redemption. Its aid package is not expected to be acted on at the Eurogroup meeting Monday, analysts said. (Read more: Greece Says Cash Reserves Almost Depleted)
"Europe is the central story in the FX market," said Boris Schlossberg, managing director with BK Asset Management.
"The worry is the core is starting to melt and the slowdown in the core economies could push the whole region into recession. That's why you're seeing the euro so weak," he said. "They haven't come up with a solution that satisfies the market."
Schlossberg said the market continues to worry about Spain, and that it will wait too long to ask for aid. "It's the same story that keeps coming back, but every time it keeps coming back it's worse," he said.

SOURCE: La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company
May 31, 2012 08:30 ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2012) - La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (OTCQB: LJPC) (PINKSHEETS: LJPC) (the "Company" and "La Jolla") announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent number 8,187,642 covering compositions of modified pectins. The patent provides proprietary protection of multiple forms of modified pectin molecules until 2025.
"We are pleased to receive this patent protection which broadens and further extends our intellectual property position for modified pectins," said Dr. George F. Tidmarsh, President and CEO of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company. "The issuance of this patent comes at a strategically important time for us as we prepare to move forward with clinical trials of our lead compound, GCS-100, in oncology, kidney disease and organ transplant indications."
La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company is building a pipeline of drug candidates based on modified citrus pectins, which are polysaccharides chemically related to the pectins found in plant cell walls. Modified citrus pectins have the ability to bind and sequester galectin-3, over-expression of which has been implicated in a number of human diseases including cancer and chronic organ failure. The modified pectin compositions described in patent '642 may have the advantages of improved therapeutic potency, purity and composition uniformity.
The Company's intellectual property portfolio includes two additional patents (one issued and one pending) describing manufacturing of modified pectins and one use patent (pending) covering the method of reducing the rate of cancer growth by treating with a galectin inhibitor.
About La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company
La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of treatments that significantly improve outcomes in patients with life-threatening diseases. GCS-100, the Company's product candidate, is a first-in-class inhibitor of galectin-3, a novel molecular target implicated in cancer and chronic organ failure.

Tournament Advisor
We are starting a website that is similar to http://www.tripadvisor.com only it will be geared towards parents of tennis players that have just played in tournaments. The site will allow people to evaluate/rate tournaments in similar fashion to Trip Advisor and their hotel/restaurant ratings. Currently, there is no accountability for a poorly run event so we want to allow people's voices to be heard.
Tennis parents who are disgruntled and/or happy about a tournament.
We are open to anything that portrays a "sleuth detective" combined with tennis...maybe....focusing on a tennis ball or racquet....or maybe something simple like glasses on a tennis ball (just throwing ideas out there)...we are not tied to any conceptual design.
