The all important run in is upon us with the final 10 games of an unpredictable EPL season in the cards. Which clubs will be able to move up the table in this stretch and which clubs might see their hopes dashed? Find out in the Two Daft Yanks remaining strength of schedule analysis!
In terms of the title contenders Leicester City, Tottenham and Arsenal all have middle of the road schedules with the 8th, 9th and 10th easiest remaining schedules respectively. This strength of schedule analysis is based on the opponent home and away goal differential splits and then totaled up for a comprehensive number not for statistical purposes but to establish an order of magnitude.
Based on the analysis above Tottenham seems to have the most balanced schedule as they are the only contending club with opponents carrying a negative goal differential both home and away. Leicester has a somewhat challenging away schedule facing games against Manchester United (+12) and an improving Chelsea side (+5). Arsenal's away schedule is even more demanding with games vs Tottenham (+15) and Manchester City (+18). Both Arsenal and Leicester do have fairly easy home schedules though and it will be key for both sides to come away with three points at home in their winnable games if they are to lift the Premier League trophy in May.
Between the main three title contenders there isn't a whole lot to separate them and they will have to play well to hold off Manchester City who is 10 points back of Leicester but have the fourth easiest schedule at -19.
In terms of the relegation battle, Aston Villa and Sunderland both have challenging schedules placing them both in the top six in difficulty. Aston Villa faces three tough road tests versus Manchester City (+18), Manchester United (+12) and Arsenal (+9) which all but ensures their relegation. Sunderland face an up hill battle as well with the second most difficult schedule in the league with a total +26 rating in favor of their opponents.
Norwich and Newcastle have great opportunity to avoid relegation if they can take advantage of their remaining relatively easy fixtures. Norwich has the easiest remaining schedule in the league (-50) including home six-point matches against Newcastle (-25) and Sunderland (-20). While Newcastle travels to Aston Villa (-12) and hosts Sunderland (-20) in their own six-point matches.
Do the numbers on the schedule presented above change your mind on who may win the title or who might be relegated? Let us know!

MPD: Man hits woman, threatens her with knife
Published 7:30 am, Thursday, February 25, 2016
A Midland man was arrested Friday for allegedly hitting a woman and threatening to kill her with a knife, according to court documents.
Brian Lavender, 26, was being held Wednesday on a $75,000 bond for a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Officers were dispatched Friday night to a residence in reference to a disturbance with weapons. A woman and Lavender had been in a verbal argument and Lavender continuously called her unpleasant names, according to the affidavit.
The argument became more heated and the woman asked Lavender to leave, which he refused to do, according to the affidavit. The woman then attempted to leave, but Lavender grabbed her by the arm, according to the affidavit.
The woman bit Lavender's arm and Lavender hit her in the head, according to the affidavit.
The woman went into the bedroom with her 10-month-old child and locked the door. Lavender allegedly threatened to break down the door if she didn't open it, so she opened the door.
Lavender then entered the bedroom with a knife in his hand and said, "is this what you want. ... I'm going to kill you," according to the affidavit.
If convicted of the second-degree felony, Lavender could face up to 20 years in prison.

As I revealed in an earlier post, I have begun a new journey. On Sunday I taught my first cooking class at the Kitchen Shoppe & Cooking School in Carlisle, PA and I had a great time doing it!
First, let me say a HEARTY THANK YOU to the wonderful women at the Kitchen Shoppe. They have encouraged and supported and guided me throughout the process and they celebrated with me before, during and after class on Sunday. I consider myself seriously lucky to be a part of their team! The photo below includes only a few of those women!!!
Also, thank you to my friends and family who have supported me as I've begun this journey, especially to my husband, Jeff. And thank you to those friends who have come over to eat one or several iterations of the same meal!!!! YOU ROCK! It sounds like a good job, but not all iterations turn out as well as others!
Typically when I include photographs in a post, they are photos that I have taken (with very few exceptions and those exceptions are credited to the person who took them). The majority of the photos in this post were taken by Jeff – thanks honey!!!
Preparations for class began in early December when I had to submit menus (for this class and other upcoming classes) so they could be printed in the spring catalog. Then, I tested and documented all the recipes and sent them in to Tammy at the Kitchen Shoppe who typed them in the standard format, reviewed them to make sure they made sense and made suggestions about tools/products to use during class. Thanks, Tammy!
Although I did a great deal of research about different components of my dishes, among other things; this class was a great one to begin with because the foods I prepared and served were all variations on foods my family has made for generations. And although I am quite familiar with the basic recipes; I put my spin on each one as I normally do when I am cooking. All my research helped me prepare my notes for class.
Food preparation began at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, when I arrived at the Kitchen Shoppe to find Tammy already gathering ingredients. I worked, with a great deal of assistance, until approximately 3:00 p.m. prepping trays for demos, making chicken broth, giving direction on preparations for braciole (filled sirloin braised in tomato sauce) and scrippelle (parmesan filled crepes served in broth) and rosemary olive oil cake, making many crepes, browning meat, making sauce, etc. As I have shared with you in the past, I prepared a schedule for myself for kitchen prep and it was very helpful. I was also glad for the opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Sue, who was working the ovens for two classes that were going on as I was prepping. I was able to get to know her better and to learn a lot about the history of the Kitchen Shoppe. And it was fun to sit down late in the afternoon, after my prep and all the classes were finished, and kibitz with some of the wonderful ladies who work at the Kitchen Shoppe!
You would think that after a full day of cooking I was tired, but I was actually wired. When I got home I took my two dogs for a long walk and then started to wind down by giving myself a manicure and pedicure. Jeff and I made a quick dinner together and then I reviewed my notes and went to bed early.
On Sunday morning I got up at 6:30 so that I could put the finishing touches on my notes, iron my clothes and apron, shower and get dressed, eat a hearty breakfast and mentally prepare for class. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous on Sunday morning. My nerves started to get the best of me at around 9:00 a.m., but I am glad to remind you that prayer really works!
I left for the Kitchen Shoppe at 10:15 and stopped at McDonald's for a diet coke on the way. Trying to give up coffee doesn't mean that I don't occasionally need a caffeine fix – and the soda did the trick. I arrived at the Kitchen Shoppe just before 11:00 am to find Barb pulling all my prepped trays out of the fridge and loading them on to the dumb-waiter. I took some pics and helped her load.
Then we headed upstairs. We got all the trays in the proper order, took out all the items I'd need for class, and began the last-minute prep of ingredients. Class members began arriving at about 12:30 for the 1:00 class and the seats filled up quickly. I could not have asked for a better group of helpers surrounding me during my first class. Ann, Barb, Mo and Tiffany made the class run sooo smoothly. They washed dishes, served and cleared, got me everything and anything I needed, cleaned up after me and kept me on track. I highly recommend having four support people in the kitchen every time you cook!!! ; )
I was somewhat surprised to see my mom and my Aunt Pam arrive – although I suspected they would attend with Jeff despite my request to have no family members there!
Also in attendance was the winner of my Giveaway 03/17/13 through 03/24/13, Donna Spoonhour. You've read about Donna on the blog in the past! Donna brought two friends with her – Leslie, someone I know from our church and was happy to see, and Lisa, whom I had not met before Sunday. The three of them have been friends since Junior High – how amazing is that?
And of course, in the class were many folks I didn't know. It was truly my pleasure to cook for and get to know the group. They asked great questions and interacted with one another. Some exchanged phone numbers and recipes. And the ladies in the front row – a mom and her four daughters – shared their wine with me at the end of class – thanks, ladies! The whole class made it such a fun day for me!
I can truly tell you that I have no idea where the time went from 1:00 to 3:15. It absolutely flew! I thought for sure I would run out of things to say after about an hour; but at about 3:15 I realized I had to pick up my pace!
I hope the class enjoyed the food and the day as much as I enjoyed preparing it and spending it with them. What a great learning experience this has been! I have found another great way to share my passion for cooking, eating and entertaining. Hopefully I will "review the game tape" and make the appropriate adjustments for the next class. You can view my upcoming classes at 'Classes I'm Teaching.' I'd love to see you at the Kitchen Shoppe & Cooking School!!!
As I think about this past year and this new journey I am on, I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes by author, poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau:
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've always imagined."
Take a look at the pics from the day!

Hey all,
To those who don't know, there's a HwC member's gallery that Bink runs. You can take a look at it here. If you want to add you photo, you can add it here.

Good thread, Nick :) Reminds me I'd best update my photo on there soon... :D

yeah same here, look too young in the old one :D
Hmm, good point! Mine date back to 2001 and 2003! Need to find a newer one...Quote:

yeah just noticed that, ill get a new one soon LOL
LOL @ the new "closeup" shot of RecklessLeper
Looks like Bink has disabled the upload feature.Quote:
These instructions, for the time being, don't apply.
Of late, I've been inundated with people exploiting my gallery by uploading crap that has nothing to do with members of OTC or HWC, so the upload function has been disabled.
If you would like to upload your picture, send a private message to Nixy or Bink at the forums.
Thanks for the new submissions guys, Nixy must have approved them because they were up there when I logged in :D
Unfortunately we're still getting spammed with uploads to the gallery of random crap. I'm on the verge of just disabling the facility that allows anonymous people to upload, because at the moment, it's being exploited as "free image hosting". Everytime a pic goes up, Nixy and myself get an email to notify us and 9.5 out of 10 times it's a bogus picture. Nixy has been awesome in helping out with the gallery and of late she's been doing most of the work. She opted to help me out because I was getting snowed under with things, I hate seeing her getting spammed dispite all her hard work.
If it is a HWC member, I ask you simply to cease using the gallery as a free image hosting service.
For everyone else, get those pics up and don't forget to use the instructions!
You must have gone to the site within the 5 minutes I'd had the upload feature disabled Shervie2. I was originally coming here to post about it, then caught this thread. Figured I'd better give it another chance :o
Man Im quick ;) File uploaded to server :eek:Quote:

Growing up, I was skeptical of curry, and really all Indian food. My dad is a very picky eater and resisted eating Indian food for the first 50 years of his life. When we went on a family trip to London, he ate Indian food for the first time (and he liked it, I'll add). Needless to say, I didn't eat a whole lot of Indian food growing up, and I still don't to this day.
But lately, I've been craving asian-y, soul-y, comfort food. Asian food is incredibly hard to eat on a clean, whole foods diet. I can't whip up the soy-ridden teriyaki salmon like I used to ALL THE TIME just a year ago. This past weekend, my friend Lindsay visited me and she is a curry expert, so I knew I had to give it a try. I read through lots of different recipes for paleo curry online, but didn't find anything that fit what I was looking for so I figured I would wing it and hope for the best.

I had a conversation recently with @maartenballiauw about the new Azure CDN and how much of an improvement it can make to serving web content; primarily an improvement in last mile for your customers.
He's put together an awesome slidedeck that he's given at TechEd and I thought I'd share again. On slide 14 there's a quote from me
The quote "The Internet sucks and so does your server" is a simple way to think of the problem domain. Due to things like geographic distribution causes unavoidable speed of light latency, compounded by the need to make multiple TCP requests underlying a HTTP request; things like embedding cookies in each request, bloating its weight; things like browsers limiting the number concurrent request: due to things like these, the Internet is weak over distance. Using a CDN fixes this by move some data (often static or semi-static) close to the requestor. And always remember, even if the internet doesn't suck (a closer datacenter, no cookies, future browsers) sending traffic to a web server increases the load on expensive application capable servers. You can use the CDN to lower the cost of your app by decreasing the load on important, functional servers and pushing it to a content delivery server.
Happy clouding

Weed control issues are the hot topic this summer. The majority of questions posed to the Extension Office have related to identification and eradication of weeds in the lawn and weeds in landscape plants. The latter is the focus of this discussion. The weeds that have been showing up in ornamental plants have been vines.
There are three main weedy vines in our area that will consume the landscape if left unchecked. They are greenbriar, Virginia creeper, and poison ivy. All of these can be controlled when treated properly.
Nothing says summer has arrived more than a tomato sandwich made with homegrown tomatoes. Six local chefs will add their twists to making the perfect sandwich during the Great Tomato Sandwich Contest, which will be held at this week's Evans Towne Farmer's Market.
"There's something so old-school romantic about a tomato sandwich," said Kim Hines, an organizer of the Evans Market. "This is a simple way for some really talented local chefs to showcase fresh, heirloom tomatoes grown right here in Columbia County."

Family matinees
They don't flare or sizzle or flame, but they do add six inches between a child's hand and a bottle rocket, enough to allow parents the ease to ignore Fourth of July bangs, blasts and squeals. Being a Southerner, I believe six inches provides reasonable safety for a 7-year-old. My childhood was filled with the streak of glowing punks, their tips dancing in the dark, their orange embers flirting with boxes of Roman candles and Saturn missiles.

Transfer news: Newcastle midfielder Mehdi Abeid joins Panathinaikos on loan
Newcastle midfielder Mehdi Abeid has joined Panathinaikos on a season-long loan deal, the Greek club have announced.
By Fotis Voinikas
Last Updated: 31/07/13 10:33am
The 20-year-old moved to St James' Park from Lens in the summer of 2011 but has made only a handful of cup appearances for the Magpies and is yet to feature in the Premier League.
He spent the second half of last season on loan with Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone, making nine starts and four further substitute appearances.
Manager Alan Pardew has allowed the French-born Algerian to head out on loan for the coming campaign to give him greater exposure to first-team football.
A statement from the Greek club read: "Panathinaikos announces the agreement with Newcastle United for the one year loan of Algerian international Mehdi Abeid."

AIBU to be upset that DH doesn't want me to go back to work? :((192 Posts)
Sorry if this is a bit confused and rambling, I'm too depressed to be coherent and my brain's stopped working after long debates with DH.
So I'd decided to retrain and go back to work this year after 5 years away. Work is TV. Being in a technical/creative role I need to catch up. I was going to pay for the training with my royalties from past work (and the rest with a bursary). Then I would try for a fairly stable, senior job, i.e. not involving travel or late hours (well not too many). Pay would have been decent enough but nowhere close to DH's. But for the 5 days of the course I'd need childcare so I needed to clear it with DH. And he basically said No.
Obviously not in so many words. But he threw enough spanners in the works, asked enough questions to make it impossible for me. In points:
(1) the course is too expensive and a job is not guaranteed without experience
(2) who will pick up/drop off the kids if I have to work in Central London (DH will not, he drives/commutes out of town daily and says the school drop off take a huge chunk of his time)
(3) I had a hard enough time finding work before kids
(4) I'll find it hard balancing work and kids
(5) and besides we had decided that I would be a SAHM doing blogging, that too once a week
After much debate, he conceded I could try for a very local, 2 times a week non-taxing job like temping or admin or shop asst. With all due respect to these jobs, I have 17 years of experience, 2 degrees and expensive training, not to mention bags of talent (so I'm told). Surely I can find better paid/more satisfying work?
And why do I want to work? Because I need the creative outlet, am good at it, I miss it and finally I really need the economic independence. I hate having to beg for/justify every penny I spend just because I didn't earn it.
We have 2 DCs about to turn 5 and 2 next month. One in reception, another just started day nursery 2 mornings/wk.
Break it down.
Do the course as long as it not a complete fortune no learning is ever a waste of time it will improve your self esteem and get you back out there.
Then take the others steps as they occur.
Job Seek
Child care. - perhaps source as if he isnt in the equation its amazing how flexible they become when they might start paying through the nose for pick ups when a parent can do it.
Yanbu. Your post makes me want to take your kids to/from school for 5 days.
5 days! Vs. five years of child minding...
What if you get appendicitis? Will he expect you to do drop off-surgery-pick up?
Fuck, another thread about a controlling shit. I'm so sad for you op. Please listen to the excellent advice being offered and keep talking. And please sign up for the course today!
What frequent said, I'll have your kids for five days.
I suppose (being generous) he might be a bit miffed that you had both agreed you'd be a sahm and now you've changed your mind. My dh probably wouldn't like that either as we both agreed that our dcs wouldn't be put in childcare and as the one who earns the least i became the sahm.
But if this is something you really want to do, and it sounds like it is then he needs to take it seriously.
He also needs to realise that if you are both working or on courses then childcare and pickups are dual responsibility.
A friend of mines dh is unemployed at the moment. She's has managed to get herself a part time job and he is looking after the kids. He now wants to start a course and she was saying that the downside of this would mean SHE would need to find childcare. Why does it always fall to the woman!
@zzzzz I like it!
need a bit of work on my confidence but will try to do that!
@FrequentFlyerRandomDent Lol at appendicitis - yes he probably would
Shit! I just read that if chooses all the decoration, food etc! How did that come about?
It sounds as if you do have some serious decision-making issues in your couple. You need to regain some of the decision-making power - ideally, decisions in a couple should be made jointly, though for practical purposes they are often divided up (normally, the person doing the shopping and cooking will decide what the family eats, taking everyone's tastes and health into consideration).
"DH decides meals, food shop, home redecoration (something I love to do and am even consulted on by friends ) and he does it because he doesn't/didn't agree with my choices . "
So what actually happens if you decide to cook something he didn't decide?
@grobags thanks for the offer I'm sure my kids would love you
As for the control issues - how blind can we women be? - my mom and some friends have been saying for some time there was an issue of him controlling too much of my life. As my self-esteem nose-dived (due to many factors) it just got worse I guess.
My mum, a college prof who's worked her whole life, was aghast when she was visiting and DH refused to eat some porridge I'd made saying it was undercooked and basically chewed me out over it, while I just stood there hanging my head in shame then I turned a deaf ear when she pointed it out. ugh ugh, what's happened to me.....
@cory things get very unpleasant and he kind of eats unwillingly, pointing out that some other meal he had planned would now not come about
@fuckadoodlepoopoo (love the name) it kinda turned out like that when I
made my own meal plan just couldn't get anything right, stuff I bought didn't get used/chucked/wasted, was the wrong brand etc etc... in the end I gave up, if he wants the extra headache, so be it
The thing about agreeing to being a SAHM before the kids are born is that you don't know how you are going to feel / cope with being one. You've done 5 years and want something else, that doesn't seem unreasonable but I agree with Hec upthread that you can't just respond with a general "but I want to" you have to take each logistical problem and talk about how it could be solved. Do some research into the local childcare options and show him, ask him specifically if he can tweak his routine. I don't necessarily agree with those who are suggesting he MUST change his day, it may not be possible without him changing jobs, but if he is able to move things about a bit, even if it is somewhat detrimental then that is a reasonable ask. My DH goes later than he'd like into work on two days a week so I can go in early and he drops the kids off. he does less extra-curricular stuff so that I can do some. Those were changes that happened when I went back part time. Your last post about the porridge suggests that he has let himself get used to this situation and quite likes it. Unless you want to resign yourself to it, you must address it now. best of luck
Chewed you out over porridge?
I will also offer childcare, op, if you are anywhere in my area (ni) And definitely call your mum and tell her everything. Ask if she can help.
Porridge...he'd have had it over his flipping head! [mad]
I was offered some work last year. Two weeks work which required help with the dcs. I spent ages agonizing over the options, early start, late start, early finish etc so that i could do the job as it might have led to more permanent work.
My dh wasn't that interested in the options which was pissing me off. In the end i found a friend who offered to have my dcs in the mornings and then my dh would need to change his hours at work so that he could do school pick ups. I asked him to ask, he didn't, asked again, he didn't, i went ballistic. He asked, they agreed, he complained that it made him look stupid because the hours he was asking for were weird. This all took so long i lost the work.
Like someone said when they've been used to all this stuff being taken care of it doesn't even pop up on their radar.
Fuck Im pissed off now!
That's sad OP. my husband wouldn't really want me to go back to work as it all makes his life very easy, I do all the kid stuff, housework etc though he does help with the kids when he's here. Difference is I'm relatively happy with this as I have no stellar career to go back to, the money is ours and he would never pull the stunt with food, control, decor that your's had. What you have revealed a reall quite worrying.
sounds to me like you should get yourself out the relationship, find your feet and then do the course/training to start your return to work, even if it is a few years away. Could you move closer to your family?
Sounds like your mum and friends are spot on. Could your dc stay with your mum for the 5 days of the course, even if it meant missing school for a week ? Not the end of the world in reception.
Perhaps you could start by talking to your mum. She's seen this all close up. For her to even say anything to you must mean she's actually quite worried, because most people would rather bite their tongues than raising this kind of subject.
doubleshott, it happens because they chip away at you. No controlling person starts out like that. It's a slow process and you don't even realise it. It becomes your normal. At some point you get a 'lightbulb' moment. I think you may be having yours and I'm cheering you on.
Your life, your marriage is not meant to be this way.
Blimey op that's awful! The power balance is all off in your relationship. I bet your mum is worried about you.
I had an ex where the balance was all wrong and that was i think mostly because he was older than me and so he thought he knew best about everything. Is there anything like that? Does he generally think he is superior?
How do you feel when he slags off your food etc? You said you hung your head. Do you ever tell him to fuck off and get over himself?
Have you thought about assertiveness training? I used to be a pleaser and learnt how to say no and how to value my own choices and my right to have them through general counselling. I learnt through that the reasons why i was so easily pushed around. Mainly my mum was like it and id actually been brought up to ignore my own needs and feelings for the sake of keeping the peace.
A controlling spouse sounds almost like an illness; something that wears you down and saps your immunity so you gradually lose normal resistance. I've seen that described so many times on MN and it is so depressing. But also cheering- because many of these posts come from posters who have finally broken through and cured themselves.
I hope this is a turning moment for you, OP. This is not a healthy relationship, it is not how you would want your children to grow up either to behave themselves or to be treated by future spouses.
OP, your mum and your friends are absolutely right. This is extremely controlling behaviour on his behalf and NOT how other people live.
No wonder your husband doesn't want you to go out and get a great job in telly. You might a) realise your life could be fun and enjoyable without his judgment and control over everything (him deciding on how you run the household is really really bad) and b) you will talk with other women who have supportive nice husbands and realise what a dud you have there.
Talk with your mum/friends and start thinking this through. How are you going to get back to being the nice, friendly (and having friends), career-oriented, fun-loving mum who sticks up for themselves and has lots of confidence, like you were before your husband systematically disempowered you?
lol @ullena
don't be mad fuckadoodle get even, our day will come, now we can see how things really are. Sorry to hear you lost yr potential job cos of yr DH dithering. Grrr
@tourdefrance that's part of my problem, my parents are in a different country, or my mum would have sorted my life out asap. In my family women not working is not an option. Even my bro is dumbfounded at my situation.
One issue here is my DH's family and their weird views on life. DH is
abnormally very close to his mom. MIL is a typical post-war antifeminist/misogynist and I'm still amazed at her response after a day when they were visiting, and I literally hadn't sat down once (DS 4m.o. was ill, DD school run etc) when I sent DH's shirts for ironing to a local service. She was in shock "What?!? You don't like to iron?" I was kind of more hysterical amused than angry though.
OP a book often discussed in relationships is called 'Why does he do that' by Lundy Bancroft
A brief summary is here: forum2.aimoo.com/narcissisticpersonalitydisorder/Excerpts-from-Some-of-Our-Favorite-Authors/Why-Does-He-Do-That-Lundy-Bancroft-1-291162.html

I'd hinted that I'd wanted to start a watch collection, and my girlfriend surprised me with one of these for my birthday.
Very nice, it'll go with everything.
Don't you agree FP?
I'm not complaining, at least I have a brand new watch.
they still haven't been uploaded
i didn't take the pictures, other people did
y u rate dum lemonader
I dunno, but the same people who like Supreme tend to like Herschel. Take that as you will.
so? just because one's terrible doesn't mean the other is
Herschel's planning a hostile takeover of Jansport.
their straps break off easy. they're bad quality. their presentation is good so the perceived value is higher than it actually is. they're hyped up. sounds like Supreme.
they're hardly hyped up, i've never heard of them
Pre-hype. On other forums, especially hypebeast, there's sycophants for that brand. Apparently it's on FULS now.
Oh look my roommate's cat walked in. Nice.
what the fuck is pre-hype
you're using a word even though you're not sure of the meaning
Don't get me wrong I think they're decent backpacks.
Not bad for 50 bucks.
Not sure if this is the thread to post it, but I guess I am fixing up myself at the moment. Currently losing weight, that I really need to do. So I can actually look sharp instead of a basement dweller/neckbeard (extreme). But so far so good, I am pretty proud over myself. In just 3 weeks time, I have already lost almost 9 kilos, soon 10. When I have lost enough weight, I will hopefully will be able to like shopping clothes again.
I hate shaving.
My skin is really sensitive and my adam's apple is really weirdly shaped so it's hard to shave around it.
Fossil is right D:
Which reminds me, I got an enormous Casio as a gift a while back
It was sad because it was worth like $200 but I knew I would never use it
Excuse shitty lighting. Got a haircut. Did I do good?
Also, do I have an overly babyish face? I'm 16 and I've always thought I had a baby face.
My skin is the same. After shaving my skin is noticeably irritated. I use a beard trimmer these days to keep it short. It also stops it from itching and saves me a heap on blades. I'll post a pic of it to show you what I mean.
This is 2 days after not shaving so I just trim it down with a beard trimmer and it stays about this length, unless I have work in which case I have to be clean shaven. It is so much easier doing this than shaving every or every other day. Plus my gf prefers me with a bit of facial hair so that makes life easier.
Gonna get this:
Then getting this jacket today:
Then i'm getting a tailored shirt for school. All I need now is a haircut. Any suggestions?
My hair:
recommend me some sunglasses.
Raybans are cool but sadly common as muck, aviators are high risk high reward
And clubmasters are coming into a vogue but I don't think they're especially good myself
Meant to say wayfarers then, not raybans

Festive season spend to be down
Consumer spending for Christmas is likely to be down slightly on last year but Irish adults will still spend over €500 before the tree is taken down, according to a new survey.
The research, published this morning by the Irish League of Credit Unions, predicts Irish adults will spend an average of €527 on Christmas this year compared with €562 in 2011.
It says eight in 10 Irish adults feel worse about their financial situation this year but despite the gloom 58 per cent insisted Christmas would still be enjoyable.
Pollsters also gauged the impact the recession has been having in the North Pole and revealed that Santa Claus is likely to spend an average of €170 on presents for Irish children.
Some 56 per cent of consumers will experience a shortfall in spending. Just over three-quarters said they thought Irish people spent too much at Christmas, while 70 per cent said it would take over a month to recover from overspending at Christmas.
Biggest spenders
People living in Leinster are likely to be the biggest spenders, with the average spend in the east being put at €545. Christmas in Ulster will cost €520 while in Munster the cost will be a slightly more manageable €517. The consumers of Connacht, meanwhile, will get through €488 before the Christmas lights are switched off.
While spending is unlikely to fall greatly, there is still worrying news for many retailers who are pinning their hopes on a Christmas getting them through a lean new year. Some 45 per cent of respondents expressed the opinion that the cost of goods on the Republic's main street are still too high.
Fears over high prices have seen growing numbers going online in search of better-value presents. Some 61 per cent of consumers will search the web for presents this year.
Mandy Johnston of the credit union league said people needed to remember "that Christmas really is about giving . . . not robbing the family finances". She warned people to avoid "moneylenders and consider that if you cannot afford to pay for something without a loan, you cannot afford it".

West girls score big upset of No. 6 Floresville
Jan. 11, 2011 at 11 p.m.
Updated Jan. 10, 2011 at 7:11 p.m.
Tiffanie Wyatt tries not to overthink her shots.
It's simple for her: Shoot the ball, be prepared to get back on defense.
"That's kind of how it goes, patience and getting the ball in the hoop," said the senior post for Victoria West.
But it allows her to not overthink her play on the court, an invaluable skill when the pressure is mounting late in a close game.
"I just shot the ball and hopefully it went in," the senior said.
Late in the game, Wyatt's cool demeanor helped her hit a shot to put Victoria West up by two scores.
With a minute left against Floresville, it turned out to be for good.
The Warriors (16-8, 2-0) pulled off a stunning upset of the top-ranked Floresville (21-4, 1-1), leading almost the whole way in a 65-60 victory at home on Tuesday night.
The senior post led the way, hitting her first six shots and shooting 73 percent (11 of 15) from the field to finish with 23 points.
But the win means more, she said.
"It means we have the heart to defeat anyone we want to, no matter what they are ranked," she said. "It doesn't matter where they are ranked."
Which is a good mentality to have when taking the court in District 30-4A play against a team ranked No. 6 in the Class 4A by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.
No matter, Wyatt said.
"We had to stay calm and keep doing what we've been doing to beat them down court," she said.
Warriors coach Sandra Jimenez said Tuesday's game was a total team effort. The West players kept pace with the Jaguars, step for step, steal for steal, shot for shot.
"It means a lot to have these kids come out and play the way they did," she said. "Intense, following directions to the T, and playing team ball."
The Warriors defense held strong against Floresville's strong shooters. But whole team had an off night on the court.
"We keyed in on two of their best players, but of course they had other shooters," Jimenez said. "It was within the other three players and being able to pick them up."
The Jaguars shot about 30 percent as a team, and key players Erica Hernandez (5 for 21) and Katie Moore (4 for 13) struggled for long stretches from the field.
Hernandez had been averaging more than 20 points per game entering the game, but was held to just 13 by the Warriors' defense.
Only five players scored for the Jaguars. They were led by Brittany Aikens, who finished with 14.
On the other side, several Warriors had big nights. Sophomore Treka Franklin finished with 13 points and the team got points from all seven players that saw time on the court.
Wyatt ran into problems early on. She had been rolling offensively, but got into foul trouble early in the second quarter and sat for most of it.
If she couldn't help them on the court, she was going do her best off of it.
"I would've felt bad if my team was doing bad," she said. "But since they were doing good, all I could do was keep cheering and help them out."
Jimenez said the Warriors ability to handle the pressure and keep up with Floresville, which was at times just as fast much bigger, was key to the team's success.
"We found each other when they could have gotten lost in the sea of taller kids," she said.
Also important was the contributions of the Warriors three guards, Eboni Murphy, Emily Skipper and Sevanah Campos-Reyes, who spent the night breaking the Jaguars press with ease and controlling the ball in critical times with multiple defenders trying to steal it.
"Our three guards have so much experience, because that's what they've done the entire time," Jimenez said. "They've prepared and gotten ready for district play."
That included being ready for the press, which Floresville employed with more urgency as the game progressed.
The crowd also got into it late. It was middle school night at West gym, and the teams from Cade and Patti Welder were in attendance, helping raise the noise level.
The team was not phased, Wyatt said.
"The crowd really doesn't bother us," she said. "We are in our zone, we are all about basketball at that moment."

Founder of the Cosmic Majority, Michael Luckman presented stories of various rock stars' obsessions and experiences with UFOs and aliens. Here are some of the tidbits he shared:
Luckman theorized that ETs, may in particular, communicate with rock icons in order to influence popular culture.He said he is planning "Signal to Space" concerts for 2006, where a musical message of peace will be beamed to our solar system and beyond. Luckman can be reached at email@example.com.
First hour guest, Joyce Riley of the Gulf War Veterans Assoc. discussed the link between brain cancer and Gulf War Syndrome, with a new report indicating a large number of soldiers might have been exposed to the nerve agent sarin, when an Iraqi weapons cache was blown up. Nearly 2/3 of the soldiers who fought in the first Gulf War are sick from a combination of factors, said Riley. She has produced the new documentary Beyond Treason which is being made available free to all veterans.
In Michael Luckman's book Alien Rock, he writes about contacts Elvis Presley reportedly had when he was a young boy with beings from a world in the Orion constellation. The information comes from Wanda June Hill, a confidante of Elvis in his later years, who made recordings of their conversations (with Elvis' permission). The beings, who showed themselves as "light forms," revealed to young Elvis a future version of himself on a stage and also told him that he actually hailed from their "blue star planet."

Clair Auto Group, founded in 1964 by family patriarch James "Ernie'' Clair (above, at right, in 1971), became one of New England's largest auto dealership chains. (On the left is Tony Nitti, general manager at the time.) Today, what is left of the business is run by sons Joseph Clair of Medfield and Michael Clair of Biddeford, Maine. They are accused in a lawsuit by their late brothers' wives of trying to freeze the widows out of the business. (Joseph Runci/ Globe Staff/ File 1971)

Just three years ago, the Clair family seemed to be on top of the world. The four brothers had sold most of the family's auto dealerships, one of the largest chains in the state, for $80 million. On a trip to Ireland that summer, the extended family stayed in a castle and visited the village of its ancestors. (Full article: 779 words)

Posted January 31, 2006
COLLEGE STATION, January 31, 2006 - For canine lovers, 2006
could prove to be a doggone good time - it's the Chinese Year of
the Dog.
Man's best friend has been celebrated in literature, songs and
movies. Many a tear has been shed while watching Old
Yeller or Lassie, while Benji made kids
laugh and Cujo showed Fido's meaner side.
"Many people consider dogs the best companion animal," says
Bonnie Beaver, a veterinarian and animal behavior expert at Texas
A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine &
Biomedical Sciences.
"Dogs are probably the easiest of all animals to train. They are
used as service animals to help blind and disabled persons, they
are used to rescue people, find injured or deceased individuals,
and now some believe they may even be able to detect cancer in
humans. It's not hard to understand why dogs are so popular."
In the Year of the Dog, some interesting canine facts to chew
Dogs helped cavemen in hunting and were the first animal to be
domesticated. They have been at man's side for thousands of years
and that likely won't change, Beaver adds.
"They make great companions, they give you unconditional love
and they give you a friendly greeting every morning," she adds.
But when it comes to pets in the United States, Poochie is not
top dog. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association,
there are about 62 million pet dogs in the U.S. - compared to
almost 70 million pet cats. But in 2006, The Year of the Cat will
have to wait its turn.

Gay rights campaigners held the protest in front of Zagreb's Catholic cathedral against homophobic statements by prominent priests.
Some 100 campaigners for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights kissed each other and waved rainbow flags at the protest in front of the cathedral on Saturday despite being confronted by a much larger crowd of opponents.
"We are here to send messages of love from the place which only sends out hate speech," Matea Popov from campaign group Zagreb Pride told journalists during the protest.
About 500 opponents gathered at the site, whistling and hurling insults, but some 100 policemen ensured the demonstrators'security.
There were no clashes but police arrested several teenagers for throwing eggs and lighters at the protesters.
Afterwards police drove the protesters away in vans because the counter-demonstrators had started to jeer and threaten violence.
The protest was organised after recent statements by several top priests calling homosexuality 'unnatural' and 'pathological'.
"The conspiracy of faggots and lesbians would destroy Croatia," said Adalbert Rebic, a professor of theology and prominent priest, said last week in an interview with the newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija.
Some other Catholic dignitaries, including Zagreb's assistant archbishop Valentin Pozaic, have made similar statements.
Their comments were sparked by a major dispute between the government and the Catholic church in Croatia about the introduction of health education into primary and secondary schools which includes teaching on homosexuality that the church considers unacceptable.
The centre-left government said that children should be better educated about health and sexual issues.
The church and conservative civic associations accepted the idea, but strongly opposed a part of it in which children are to be taught that homosexuality is normal.
Conservative civic associations asked the government to introduce two health education options, from which parents could choose, but the government refused.
The church appealed to believers not to allow their children to attend the classes, but education minister Zeljko Jovanovic warned that pupils could face punishment.
The dispute boiled over last week when assistant archbishop Pozaic compared the government to a Nazi dictatorship.
"Nazism got into power democratically, but then they imposed dictatorship. Is there any need to compare them with today's communists in Croatia?" Pozaic asked in a speech.
Opinion polls have suggested that 56 per cent of citizens support the introduction of health education and 34 per cent oppose it.
BIRN looks back at some of the key events that led to Kosovo's declaration of independence and eventuated after it.
Outdated equipment and underinvestment are undermining Romania's hopes of becoming one of Europe's biggest energy exporters and a regional energy hub.

Re: Portrait Miniature of Thomas Coram
In reply to:
Portrait Miniature of Thomas Coram
Amy, you said that you have a portrait believed to be of William Coram, brother of Capt. Thomas Coram (1668 - 1751).The recent book, "Thomas Coram, Gent." by Gillian Wagner, Boydell Press, Woodbridge, 2004, states that Thomas' brother, William Coram, was baptised 18 Apr 1671 and buried 29 Apr 1671, eleven days afterwards.The burial record is from the Dorset Records Office, Lyme Regis Register of Burials 1653 - 1958.What information do you have to help resolve this inconsistency?

This is one of the very first FreeIMU v0.3.5_MS I assembled during the past weekend. This is probably one of my best soldering work and PCB design.
I've been asked how to connect a Sparkfun breakout board for the ITG3200 to an Arduino UNO. Here's a schematics of the connection. If you are using an Arduino Mega you'll have to use pins 20 (SDA) and 21 (SCL) instead of A4 and A5.
IMPORTANT: Remember that in order to use this setup you have to disable the internal pullups of the ATMEGA. Note that Wire will enable them by default.
I'm cleaning my workshop and I do have some breakout boards which I'm not going to use so I'd like to sell them if someone is interested. All of them are new and tested.
Here is what I have:
Prices includes shipping to EU. If interested please contact me.
p.s. I'll keep this post updated with availability.
Ok, I'm back hacking after a couple of months of hard work on the thesis which has been completed and submitted to the committee. 7 or 8 April degree! I still have to realize all of this..
Well, after a couple of days of relax I'm back to my regular hacking and I've been able to assemble the very first FreeIMU v0.3.
FreeIMU is my libre inertial measurement unit which I developed during my thesis. For all the informations please visit FreeIMU project page.
FreeIMU v0.3 is the latest version of FreeIMU which includes the ADXL346, the HMC5883L and the ITG3200. Initial test have been successful but I'm testing it.
So, here you have a couple of pictures:
I also made a quick video of FreeIMU v0.3
In this revision, I made some changes in the components used for the voltage level translation. It seems that the results are great. This is the signal quality of the SCL line running at 400KHz through the integrated logic level converter of FreeIMU v0.3.
Yeah! I soldered everything and all went smooth.. only a little bug.. the connectors have a 0.032" drill hole while it should be 0.04".. so, regular squared pins array wont fit inside. You can use rounded pins, female thin pins (as the one shown in the video below) or wires directly.
But everything works great. Communication on I2C running at 400Khz directly from Arduino through the on board I2C level converter.. works great!
Next days more tests, I'm expecially interested in having a look at how the I2C signals looks on a scope with or without the I2C level converter.. I'll also try to simulate some noise and using long wires to check what happens..
Here is a short video on the progresses done these days.
UPDATE 2011-02-10: Check out FreeIMU project page for all the informations about FreeIMU!
In the past months I worked a lot on accelerometers, gyroscopes and digital compasses. I'm now pretty intimate with the ADXL345, the ITG3200 and the HMC5843.
I've been able to design and construct homebrew DIY breakout board PCBs for all of them (ADXL345 and ITG3200) and to create a nice library to use them which also implement a great sensor fusion algorithm capable of running on the Arduino without problems.
I'm now making the next step. Let me introduce FreeIMU.
FreeIMU is a 9 DOM/DOF MARG IMU based on the ADXL345, the ITG3200 and the HMC5843. As this is part of my Master of Science Project and that I completely share the openness of projects like Arduino, FreeIMU will be completely open: all the designs will be released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported while all the software will be release under GNU GPL v3.
As my background is in computer science, I'm quite self-taught in PCB designs and in electronics in general. So, I'm now seeking review for FreeIMU's schematics and PCB designs. If you have experience working with IMUs, designing PCBs or circuits and you would like to contribute to a free project please have a look at the designs and feel free to comment it.
I'm using kicad as schematics and PCB editing software. It's free (as in speech) software and, once you get around its glitches, it works really well. Using non-libre software like EAGLE to design a free hardware like FreeIMU would have been simply senseless.
Note: I'm using a nightly updated version of Kicad, so if you have problems opening the files you might need to update your version of Kicad.
So, you'll find the current Kicad based sources of FreeIMU in the attachments to this page just below. You'll also need a library of components which I also attach here. For your convenience I attach also a pdf version of the schematics.
I plan to submit FreeIMU to DorkbotPDX PCB Order of the 13th December to have it constructed. I currently don't see this as a commercial project but if someone is interested in FreeIMU I could sell a couple of boards.
Ok, so.. looking forward to hear your comments. Thanks!
FreeIMU designs have been sent for fabrications. Looking forward to receive the PCBs soon! I have received some interesting advices on the board design so the design sent to production has been slightly modified: there's now space for an optional 10uF tantalum capacitor in package A and there's more clearance for the mounting holes. The original design would have been making almost impossible screw FreeIMU as there were some capacitor just near the mounting holes.
You find the final PCB design in the attachments below. I also attach below the Gerber and drill files sent for production.
I'd like to thanks everyone who helped in reviewing and advising on FreeIMU. I'd like to thank especially Greg Peek from dorkbotpdf-bladder mailing list who convinced me on adding the 10uF cap and adding more clearance on the mounting holes. I'd like also to thank James Neal for suggesting the addition of the mounting holes in the first place and for taking care of organizing the PCB group order.
The FreeIMU project is progressing nicely.
Yesterday Laen received FreeIMU's PCBs and they shuold have been
shipped to me today.
I've also been able to find cheap stencils from
http://www.smtstencil.co.uk/ .. They should have shipped the stencils
Meanwhile I ordered all the components to produce 10 copies of FreeIMU.
The code is now quite stable and I'm using it on my tangible user
interface prototype (basically it's a sphere capable of detecting
taps, double taps and its orientation - more on this on my blog soon).
I should be able to produce the first boards around the first week of
January.. I'm really looking forward to it!
The interest this project is getting is huge! Thanks to everybody who contacted me about FreeIMU and to the people who already reserved FreeIMU units.
For those who are interested in buying one or more FreeIMU units here are the prices:
If you want to buy one or more units please get in touch with me and I'll reserve your units for you. The number of available units is limited and a strict first came first served policy will be followed so reserve your units as soon as you can to be sure to get one.
Still no signs of FreeIMU's PCBs. It looks like Lean will need a better shipping option for us in Europe. More than 3 weeks already passed from the shipping of the PCBs from the USA to Italy and still no signs of them. Of course, we had the holidays in the middle, but that's way too much!
Just created a FreeIMU project page on Launchpad. Using launchpad for FreeIMU development will give us some great advantages like: an high quality repository with bazaar, code and designs browsing, questions and answers, bug and features suggestions.. Moving the project to a public place was a step to be made.
So, from now on, you can download FreeIMU designs from it's repository using:
bzr co lp:freeimu
Still no signs of FreeIMU v0.1 .. fuc**in Italian customs. Anyway, FreeIMU version 0.2 has been sent for fabrication and today it has been shipped to me. This time of course using FedEX which shouldn't be so slow as regular mail. Let's hope so..
Following some picture of FreeIMU v0.2:
FreeIMU is alive! First units of FreeIMU have been produced and I'm currently testing everything. Stay tuned!
UPDATE 2011-05-10: The 9 DOM sensor fusion library presented in this article is now part of the FreeIMU library. Please consider the code in this page as outdated and just use the FreeIMU library.
I spent the last days creating an initial implementation of a 9 Degrees of Measurement (DOM) / Degrees of Freedom (DOF) AHRS sensor fusion orientation filter. I've created a library, called FreeIMU, which polls data from the ADXL345 accelerometer, the ITG3200 gyroscope and the HMC5843. Have a look at the attachments for my circuit schematics.
To access the ADXL345 accelerometer I used this nice Arduino library (based on this other one), while for the ITG3200 I used Filipe Vieira's ITG3200 Arduino library. To access the HMC5843 I used my library.
The sensor values are then pushed into Sebastian Madgwick's implementation of Mayhony's DCM filter incorporating Sebastian's magnetic distortion compensation (Algorithm available here - project here).
IMPORTANT: This code doesn't disable the ATMEGA internal pullups so a logic level converter/translator is needed if you don't want to fry your sensors. In the video I used a modified version of twi.c (inside of the Wire library) commenting out the pullup enabling in twi_init().
The result can be seen in the video below. Note that all the code published here is still very very young. You'll probably find lots of bugs and WTF but I think it can still be useful. Keep an eye on this website for the next developments. If you are working on this stuff get in touch with me if you want to share efforts.
When you have created two breakout boards for the ADXL345 accelerometer and the ITG3200 gyroscope and you have those two nice sensors what you can do? Simple: create an implementation of an Attitude sensor fusion which runs with those chips!
So, I started documenting myself and reading lot of stuff on IMUs (inertial measurement units - composed by an accelerometer and a gyroscope) and MARG sensor (an IMU which also has a magnetometer to sense heading).
One really good article you should read to get started with IMUs is A Guide To using IMU (Accelerometer and Gyroscope Devices) in Embedded Applications available on http://www.starlino.com/ . Also from the same website there is a nice implementation of the theory from the IMU guide: you can find it on Arduino code for simplified Kalman filter. Using a 5DOF IMU.
So, I took the algorithm above and converted it to be used with the ADXL345 and the ITG3200. I came out with two implementations both with parts in Arduino and Processing code (see the attachments to this page below).
IMPORTANT: If you use the IMU Digital Combo Board from Sparkfun you will need to change the address of the Gyroscope from 0x69 in my code to 0x68.
The first implementation simply reads the raw accelerometer and gyroscope values on the Arduino while the Processing code (running on the PC) will compute the sensor fusion algorithm, produce the orientation vector and siplay a nicely oriented cube.
In other implementation all the sensor fusion logic is implemented in Arduino code so it will run embedded in the microcontroller. Looks like Arduino can coupe with that without any problems! So, once the orientation is computed is all sent to the PC where the Processing application will display incoming data and the oriented cube.
You can see a demonstration in the following video:
All the code is available in the attachments below. You can see the circuit in the picture below. Note that these are custom made breakout boards, your pin configurations will vary depending on the schematics of your breakout board. If you have questions just leave a comment below.
The processing programs need to be executed on the Processing IDE, available for download from http://processing.org/
Remember to adjust the serial port configuration in the Processing code to match your connection to the Arduino in your system. Here I use /dev/ttyUSB9, if you are under windows you'll probably have to use something like COM3 or something like that. See in the Arduino IDE under Tools->Serial Port to get the exact value you have to use.
Some days ago I posted about my first homebrew DIY breakout board for the ADXL345 accelerometer. That was pretty ugly but worked very good.
Today, after some other tests, I show you my new homebrew DIY breakout board: this time it is for an ITG3200 gyroscope. And you'll see that I really improved a lot!

Interviews with survivors of the Titanic disaster accompany drawings, paintings and photographs of the ship.
There is a short sequence at the beginning of this documentary of archive footage suggested to be of the Titanic. The very first shot and possibly the second shot are of the Titanic. The other shots feature other ships. For the best genuine footage of the Titanic see tape PM3468 - film ID 3468.07.
The interviews with survivors are very nice. One woman talks of how people played snowballs when the ship hit the iceberg and how someone had observed that the iceberg was a "whopper"! Two survivors talk about how they got off the ship. Edith Russell holds a toy pig which she had with her on the journey. Arthur Lewis who was a bedroom steward on the Titanic speaks of his time in the lifeboat.
Does anyone know the name of the lady interviewing in this documentary, she looks familiar?

A number of overnight visitors make last-minute decisions to come to Savannah, and one of their favorite activities is shopping.
"We have a bit of a hidden gem here in terms of our shopping and antiquing and the impact of that on tourism," said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah.
Numbers released Thursday indicate the number of visitors and the amount of money they spent in the Savannah area grew slightly in 2010 to 11.4 million visitors spending $1.7 billion.
Read the 2010 Tourism Study Breakdown and the full 2010 Tourism Report released by Visit Savannah.
That compares with 11.2 million visitors spending $1.6 billion in 2009, the study by Longwoods International said.
Of the 11.4 million visitors to the area last year, 56 percent stayed overnight and 44 percent were day trippers.
Of the overnight visitors, 38 percent said they had no travel plans and
38 percent said they came to shop. Of day trippers, 33 percent said they came to shop.
Another top reason for coming to Savannah? Food. Thirty percent of the overnight visitors and 21 percent of day trippers said they came for fine dining.
"People talk about Savannah as a great culinary destination," Marinelli said. "Maybe we should use that more."
Most of the area's overnight visitors, 80 percent, say they come for the history and cultural activities.
The study also bears out the emphasis that Visit Savannah has placed on social media and Internet marketing. Forty-five percent of the overnight visitors said they used social media for travel.
A positive trend is that visitors are coming to the area year-round.
"Summer is no longer a dead time in Savannah," Marinelli said. "We have basically eliminated the shoulder seasons."
The study says 23 percent of overnight visitors come from January through March, with 28 percent coming in the second quarter, 26 percent in the third quarter and 24 percent in the fourth quarter of the year.
The average length of stay has risen to 2.5 nights, up from two nights a few years ago, he said.
"That's more people shopping, more tours taken, another breakfast you have," he said.
Visit Savannah also has marketed more to African-Americans, creating a new black heritage brochure and buying ads on an African-American radio station in Atlanta.
The efforts seem to be paying off, with African-American overnight visitors making up 9 percent of the visitors in 2009 and 12 percent in 2010.
In the day tripper category, African-Americans grew from 15 percent in 2009 to 18 percent in 2010.
Overall, the average visitor to the city is about 45 years old, One-third of the visitors make more than $75,000, and 47 percent have college or graduate educations.
By the numbers
2009 2010
Visitors 11.2 million 11.4 million
Spending $1.6 billion $1.7 billion
Room tax revenue $12.9 million $14.4 million

As I mentioned previously, I bought some boxes of Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal at Vons, expecting to receive a Catalina coupon for $2 off my next shopping order that would make the cereal free after coupon. (A Catalina coupon is a coupon that prints from the machine that's next to the register at many stores.) Unfortunately, I didn't receive the Catalina coupon as expected. In the past, I've had to call to get my Catalina coupon sent by mail, so I called and discovered via the automated voice system that I could submit my request online.
You can submit your request for a missing Catalina coupon here within 14 days of your purchase. You will need your receipt to complete the request process, so make sure you have that with you.
From the first drop-down menu, select I didn't receive a coupon or offer I was expecting:
On the next page, you'll have to enter information from your receipt, then your contact information including name and address, and then on the following page, you'll have the opportunity to upload a scanned copy of your receipt. Apparently, they'll refer to the scanned copy if they can't get the confirmation they need from the info you provided. I didn't feel like bothering with scanned copies, and figured they would email me if they needed the copy. On the same page, you'll need to verify that you are eligible to receive the offer.
Once your request has been submitted, I recommend writing down the reference number on the receipt in case you need to contact Catalina about your request. I immediately received a confirmation email regarding my request. A couple of business days later, I received emails stating that I would receive my Catalina coupons in approximately 10 days.
It's a lot more work than just grabbing a coupon from the Catalina printer, but a relatively easy process to get a coupon that was the reason I purchased particular items in the first place!

Even in this era of depressed interest rates and voracious yield hunting, it is possible for an exchange traded fund with heavy allocations to developed markets and a fat dividend yield to toil in obscurity.
It is not a criticism, but such is life for the Guggenheim Global Dividend Opportunities Index ETF (LVL) . LVL, which debuted in June 2007, tracks the S&P Global Dividend Opportunities NR Index and although it is advertised as a global ETF, the fund's largest country weight is 17.7% to the U.S. That is followed closely by 17.5% to Australia.
Indicating that risk is not excessive with LVL, four of the ETF's top-five country weights – Australia, Canada, Germany and Finland – have AAA credit ratings. Additionally, LVL's standard deviation of 16.1% is not much higher than that of the MSCI World Index and slightly lower than the 16.4% found on the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) . [A Global Dividend ETF With a 7% Yield]
Overall, European countries combine for about 26% of LVL's weight, giving the ETF some leverage to the ongoing economic recovery there. The ETF's Europe exposure is mixed between steady hands such as Germany and the U.K. and more notorious fare such as Italy and Spain. [An Unheralded ETF Way to Europe]
LVL's source of allure stems from a trailing 12-month yield of 6.63%, according to Guggenheim data. The high yield is a payoff for perceived risk although the ETF is home to just one emerging market (Brazil) and is conservatively positioned at the sector level.
For example, telecom and utilities stocks combine for a third of LVL's weight. That would be problematic if LVL were exclusively focused on U.S. equities given the sensitivity of those sectors to rising interest rates, but the bulk of the ETF's telecom and utilities holdings are foreign. [Low Expectations for Utilities ETFs]
LVL's U.S.-based holdings are not free of rate risk, though, as many are rate-sensitive real estate investment trusts (REITs). Some of the REITs found in LVL are mortgage REITs, which were smacked by soaring Treasury yields last year.
Investors should pay close attention to the sectors that dividend ETFs track. This can help avoid over or under exposure to various stocks and can help investors dodge volatility. For example, many dividend funds invest about 20% of their assets in the financial services sector, though in the case of LVL, that could be a good thing as European financial services continue to recover. The ETF's weight to financial services is nearly 24%.

Engine Cooling problem
1987 Mazda b2200 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 55,000 miles
It appears that my truck is overheating by my temp gauge. I replaced the thermostat and it does not always give me problems. I am thinking it might be the water pump? I dont seem to be leaking, but I do have to replace the antifreeze sometimes.
I have not seen any signs of the head gasket being the issue. No water in the oil or radiator, engine still runs great. If it is the water pump how difficult to replace? What else could it be?
have the same problem?
