Silver's down? Well, call the Lone Ranger, that'll cheer him up. Gold and oil, too? We could prattle for ages about whether the loller dollar's rebound will continue to send shockwaves through the commodities market, but we won't.
We just want to talk about bacon. Namely, the unmitigated pork cravings by those who dig on swine, and the record highs forecasted for the pork belly market.
First, consumption is up:
Pork belly prices are on pace to set records this summer as restaurants add bacon to everything from salads to sundaes. About 44% of U.S. consumers will eat bacon within a two-week period, which is a record high, according to consumer studies conducted by the NPD Group, a Port Washington, N.Y.-based market research firm.
Only 44%? The other 56% of you are slacking (and don't try to give me some religious or health excuse, this is sweet nectar of hog we're talking about here). Anyway, demand is doing exactly what you'd expect to prices:
Prices for pork bellies, from which bacon is made, are responding to strong demand, with analysts and traders predicting bellies will set new, all-time highs this summer of $1.70 to $2.00 a pound. Cash market prices reached a record of $1.60 a pound in September as belly supplies ran short. Recent federal data put the price of 14- to 16-pound bellies at $1.50 a pound, well ahead of $1.10-a-pound price a year ago.
This has left the price of a pound of bacon about on par with the price of a gallon of premium unleaded (fitting cuz I'd prob need to run 20 miles to burn off a pound of it):
Retail bacon prices climbed to $4.537 a pound for March, 23.7% above prices a year ago, but still below the record high of $4.773 a pound set in October, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Pork belly futures also are above year-ago levels, but the contract is thinly traded.
We worry a bit about there being a "bacon bubble," given its meteoric rise to stardom.
It was one thing when it was just foodies like us enjoying it at Baconfest and Cochon 555 (and it was nearly two years ago that we threw together the Hot Chicks With Bacon blog just because), but it's another thing entirely when Denny's has their marketing team make the calculated move to plop it on top of a sundae because it's all the rage with the kids these days, so you have to keep an eye on the zeitgeist to determine if its fifteen minutes of fame are close to being up.
But that's okay if it is, because that'll leave more for me and Jason.
And I can't write a post like this without leaving you with the best explanation of commodities, ever:

Yeah I read this......I do believe the author has a point.....most of the league games really do lack any excitement because the groups are so big and more than half of them will go through
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
I like that we have quarterfinals, so I can't make an unbiased comment on this. I do think World Cups could be scheduled better with 2 concurrent matches every day in the league phase, which the terms of TV rights sale by the ICC don't seem to allow for. The '96 WC was the first one I followed with any seriousness, and part of the festive charm was the concept of being able to switch over to watching another match if one wasn't interesting enough.
The group stages have the potential for tedium, but at least the rest of the tournament follows a knockout format, rather than the mind numbing boredom of the "Super Eights".
Plus, I like the fact that the associates who have qualified get 6 games. Makes the competition far more worthwhile for them, and gets their players a bit of exposure.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
About the league stages being long, I do not care as I think that gives slow starters like India a chance to play themselves in. Wouldn't want a cold start meaning the end of the world cup.
Hope it'll be a better tournament than 2007 but if it is I think it'll be in spite of the format rather than because of it.
I love cricket, holding it close as I do to my bossom.
However, having been through the schedule, I will only be watching 14 of the 42 pool games.
It's meant to be cricket's showpiece, but only one-third of the games are worth a look.

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
How many more matches are played in this world cup as compared to previous ones?
The Super six would have been better for my liking,but then the groups would have to be shortened and there would be more room for one bad game and your out.

SAN DIEGO (CNS/CBS 8) - In all the years we have been covering the Stephanie Crowe murder, we have never heard from Richard Tuite -- until now.
One week after being acquitted in his retrial for the 12-year-old girl's 1998 stabbing death, Tuite was released from jail on Friday.
CBS News 8 cameras caught up with Tuite shortly after his release from jail. When we asked him how it felt to be released, he said it "feels good."
Tuite was on his way out of San Diego for a 10-day parole period. It was not known where he would serve those 10 days.
Tuite was acquitted in a retrial this month in the 1998 stabbing death of 12-year-old Stephanie Crowe of Escondido.
The 44-year-old was discharged from county jail in San Diego in the early afternoon, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Due to the lengthy amount of time Tuite was in custody in the case, he will spend only 10 days on parole, the maximum allowed by law, CDCR spokesman Bill Sessa said.
Last Friday, a jury found Tuite -- a schizophrenic with a long history of homelessness, arrests and prison stints -- not guilty of voluntary manslaughter following a second trial on charges of killing the girl as she lay in bed in her family home.
He had been convicted of the same charge in 2004, but a federal appeals court ruled in 2011 that he didn't get a fair trial because a judge had limited cross-examination of a prosecution witness.
Tuite's original sentence in the case was 13 years in prison for manslaughter and four years, four months for briefly escaping from custody at the downtown courthouse and offering a deputy $24,000 to help him get away in February 2004.
Upon Tuite's release, a parole agent took custody of him for transportation to an undisclosed location outside the San Diego area, where he will serve out his supervised release term.
Corrections officials decided on parole instead of county probation because it would allow for maximum scrutiny and counseling of the ex-inmate, Sessa said.
The spokesman said he could not reveal where Tuite would spend the supervisory period.
"Parolees have a right to privacy just like any other citizens do," he said.
Though the former inmate will be free to go where he likes upon termination of his parole, he still will have to register with local authorities as a sex offender for life due to a conviction for lewdly harassing a minor 15 years ago.
Before Tuite was prosecuted in connection with Stephanie's death, her older brother, Michael, and two of his friends, Aaron Houser and Joshua Treadway, were accused of committing the murder, and police extracted confessions from two of them.
The admissions by Michael Crowe and Treadway, along with potentially incriminating statements by Houser, ultimately were ruled to have been coerced by police under harsh interrogation tactics, and the case against them was dismissed. During Tuite's retrial this year, the three testified that they had no involvement in the girl's violent death.
Stephanie's body was found sprawled in the doorway of her bedroom by her grandmother early on the morning of Jan. 21, 1998. She had been stabbed nine times.
Tuite, a drifter known to North County authorities, had been in the area of the Crowe residence the night the seventh-grader was killed, agitated and looking for woman named Tracy. During his trials in the case, prosecutors contended that he had wandered into the victim's home and attacked her.
Investigators, however, found no physical evidence directly linking him to the crime scene. Concluding that Tuite had been too mentally ill and impaired by drug abuse to have been able to get into the Crowe's home undetected, kill the girl quietly and flee without leaving any clues behind, police initially focused their suspicions on the three boys.
Analysts later found the victim's blood on two shirts that Tuite had been wearing on the day of the murder. Jurors who voted to acquit Tuite said they believed a defense theory of "contamination," in which blood from the crime scene somehow wound up transferred onto Tuite's clothing.

very nice
More sizes would be better, but I do love the sweatshirt.
All the labels said Medium, but the tag on the actual sweatshirt said Small, and its pretty tight. Order a size larger than normal and you should be good to go.
It appears to be a superior product compared to other fleece products I have had.

You guys are already discussing coaching changes and I see Jimmy Johnson come up a few times. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson was on the Texas Today Show, where he was asked about returning to coach the Cowboys.
Don't get your hopes up.
According to what Jimmy said, he is loving his current lifestyle, which involves him talking about football a lot on television and what I suspect is drinking plenty of alcoholic beverages.
"I love doing FOX NFL Sunday, and Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Kurt Menefee, we all have a ball on the set and so it's fun. So I enjoy doing that. I enjoy living in the Florida Keys, I live on the ocean as you know, I do a lot of fishing and scuba diving, so I think I'm going to stick with my lifestyle that I've got now."
Johnson also said he does not believe the Cowboys have serious problems with the offense. He said the wide receivers need to step up because a lot of teams are taking Jason Witten out of the game with double coverages. This leaves the wide outs with man to man coverage oftentimes.

This is a nice outdoor rug, but it arrived with a very strong sour smell and with creases from being flattened after it was rolled up (I guess). We've had the rug laid out on our back deck for over a week and the creases are still there. I'm hoping that with rain the smell will go away (not a biggie because it's an outdoor rug) and with bright sun the creases will eventually flatten. The rug is okay, but will be better once the kinks are worked out.

GARY, Ind. (AP) - Thousands of people said their final farewell to a police officer in Gary, Ind. who was killed in the line of duty.
The funeral for Patrolman Jeffrey Westerfield was held Monday at the Genesis Convention Center in Gary. Besides the police officers from Indiana, Illinois and other states, hundreds of others attended the funeral for the fallen hero.
Those who attended the funerals remember Westerfield fondly.
"I am highly upset and devastated. For 19 years, people on the street loved him and we are devastated," Gary Police Sgt. Darlene Breitenstein said.
Westerfield was found shot to death July 6. It was his 47th birthday. Police have a person of interest in custody, but charges haven't been filed yet in the shooting.
Deputy Police Chief Larry McKinley says Westerfield was known to many as "the mayor of Black Oak" for his work in the neighborhood on Gary's southwest side where he lived and patrolled.

Evaluating St. Jude Through The Eyes Of New Money
Valuentum • Thu, May. 29
- St. Jude has a favorable industry backdrop and a solid dividend.
- However, it doesn't score that well on the Valuentum Buying Index.

Damn, that lag time is a deal killer! Otherwise this would be more than enough of a reason for me to jump into the 4.3 tethered jb waters.
pretty cool, I don't know what the point of this is but cool never the less.
^^ +1
does 4.3 allow unlimited tethering w/ an unlimited plan? or is there a limit?
Why can't it connect to GAME SYSTEMS?!! HELP! no side questions!
I know PSP & PS3 like to be connected to an infrastructure mode wifi signal (such as what you get from a wireless router). I wouldn't be surprised that most other game systems require this as well.
4.3 enabled infrastructure mode for wifi on GSM i4, and I believe the VZW i4 already came with it in place.
Now if your system can't support WPA2-Personal security, then you're SOL because official iPhone Hotspot setups only use WPA2-Personal for security from my research. MyWi might be able to change that, though.
I haz 4.3 and running MyWi and I haven't noticed the gps coordinates update on the map :-(
i don't care if you were grandfathered in with your unlimited data like i was. that's just f*ckin abuse man.
Not to burst anyones bubble but the GPS coordinates would transfer to my ipad using earlier versions of mywi and OS versions before 4.0...
I already did that like a month ago with the 4.2.1 on the First iPad with my iphone4 and the MyWi tether. Whats the big deal...
Sorry but this has been debunked, it is only using Wi-Fi location, not true GPS. You can see a video on this here:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymyWKN64dNI&hd=1]YouTube - Wi-Fi iPad Tethered GPS Myth Debunked[/ame]
You can also read about all the tests I ran on my blog: JohnMarshall4 - Debunking the Wi-Fi only iPad Tethered iPhone 4 GPS Myth
Ya my wifi pad has always done that, it locates by wifi then uses the phones. Connection to download the maps, the pad seems to be fairly accurate with wifi!
PS I am using mywi to tether.
I think yur missing the point the wifi only pad is not tethering the GPS INFORMATION FROM THE PHONE just the google maps are being downloaded the pad is using wifi to locate.

3D Printing Just Wireframe Models Can Vastly Speed Up Prototyping
It saves time in the initial prototyping stages by speeding things along.
It saves time in the initial prototyping stages by speeding things along.
What is 3D printing? The future? Stupid? Dangerous? Print the Legend explores all these topics.
When Doug McCune was shaken awake by the Napa earthquake last month, he did what any reasonable person would do in the middle of the night: He downloaded a whole bunch of earthquake data for 3D printing.
If it helps kids come to terms with their prosthetics then it's all worthwhile.
Made from titanium powder, it's another show of how 3D printing is advancing medical science.
A Minnesota architect has built a 3D printed castle in just under four months. Why? Because he could.
Your house on Mars could be a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with six-sided rooms laid out in a hex-based grid.
Titanium aluminide is a 3d-printable metal that promises to make light, stronger aircraft. The problem is it's incredibly difficult to work with.
Wouldn't it be great to charge up your laptop without needing a power socket?
You can build your own miniature space fleet. As long as you have your own 3D printer.
OwnPhones' software turns your phone into a 3D scanner. So when you take a video of your ears from different angles, it turns the footage into 3D data, and after you pick one of 10,000 combinations of size, colour, and style, a 3D printer spits out a pair of perfect earbuds just for you – just like the ones seen above.
Soon your figures won't have hair that looks like it belongs on a Lego minifig. The eyes still need a bit of work though.
Disney's research arm has created a custom algorithm that will turn anything oddly shaped or asymmetrical into a perfectly balanced spinning top. So a Mickey Mouse-head spinning top is definitely on the way.
It also comes in customisable colours as well.
Most 3D printers don't go with your usual decor, but this one juuust might.
Amazon.com has just opened a new 3D Printing Store, which allows customers to customise and then purchase "more than 200 unique print-on-demand products."

China's flight delays turn passengers into brawlers
The backups are so bad that fights keep breaking out between fliers and airline staffers.
For most of us, flying lost its romance and fun decades ago. But it appears air travel can be a very positive experience in the U.S. compared with what's going on in China.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times reported that constant hours-long flight delays at mainland Chinese airports have gotten to the point where passengers brawl with airline crews and in one incident even stormed a runway out of anger and desperation.
The newspaper quoted data from the FlightStats website that fewer than 18% of flights departing from Beijing's airport were on time in July. That figure improved slightly in August to just under 29%, but when it comes to punctuality, FlightStats consistently ranks Beijing and Shanghai at the bottom of the heap of the top 35 international airports.
The problems in China's skies, experts say, have the same roots as what's happening to the Chinese economy: Desperately needed infrastructure can't keep up with skyrocketing growth.
China had 319 million air passengers last year, nearly four times the number compared to a decade ago. At the same time, China's military is said to control 80% of the nation's airspace, compared to the 17% under U.S. federal control, and that limited airspace creates traffic problems.
The issue of civilian vs. military airspace is a very sensitive topic, according to Xu Hongjun, a professor at Civil Aviation University of China. "You have to figure out how to divide the airspace and balance national security with economic growth," Xu told the LA Times, "and that has to be done at the highest level of government."
In the meantime, lowly air travelers in China find themselves delayed for hours at both at the departure gates and sometimes on planes waiting on the tarmac, which has sparked some explosions of temper.
"The airlines are always coming up with different excuses," Beijing travel agent Tao Yuanyong said in an interview. "You never find the right person to ask, and the passengers just get angrier."
China's state media have reported that 26 fights broke out at Chinese airports between May and August of this year. Passengers attacked airport staff three different times in July at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. And in the southeastern city of Nanchang, several dozen passengers ran onto a runway after enduring a seven-hour delay.

So let's just get it right out in the air. I don't think Ferrari or Lamborghini or any other purveyor of exotic metal is the best enthusiast brand. Part of the enthusiast car market is to make great cars that enthusiasts can actually buy. The Miata , the Mustang and the GTI are the kinds of good fun that we can actually buy.
When trying to figure out who the best enthusiast brand is, I didn't stop at pure numbers. I looked for cool cars, and interesting cars, not just fast ones. I also tried to focus on the more modern petrol head. Back in the 60s every car company was making wacky and crazy cars, but over the years the enthusiast market has kinda dried up a bit.
I almost went with Honda . The CRX , early Si badged cars and the NSX all hit the right buttons, but over the last 15 years or so Honda has really lots its magic. It feels like they started to care more about Consumer Reports scores than steering feel and spoilers, and so they didn't make the list.
But who was it? You have to hit the jump to find out.

LiveWINTER OLYMPICS LIVE: Women's skeleton day one
This live event has finished
- Shelley Rudman clocks in with an overall time of 1:58.79 from her first two runs at Sochi 2014
- The Pewsey star is eleventh overall after clocking in at 59.46 in her first run and 59.33 in her second
- Great Britain team-mate Lizzy Yarnold is the overall leader with 1:56.89, a lead of 0.44 seconds
Shelley Rudman tells BBC Sport: "I'm pleased, it wasn't too bad, I was a little off my lines.
"On the first run it was almost pre-race nerves but I'm happy with the second run.
"I made a big mistake on the first run, a real time-bleeder. I'm really pleased my start improved for the second run.
"I'm happy, I just hope to move up a little bit.
"Tomorrow I'd like to have a tidy run and walk off the track happy. It's been a difficult two years getting here."
Thanks for following Shelley's progress with us this morning.
We'll re-cap this morning's action shortly on gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport and don't forget to join us again tomorrow afternoon for the second half of the women's skeleton at Sochi 2014.
The third runs begin at 3.40pm UK time, whilst the Olympic medals will be decided at 4.50pm.
Carry on sending us your comments and good luck messages for Pewsey's Shelley Rudman on twitter @gazsport
And that means that Shelley Rudman (1:58.79) has moved up a place to eleveth overall during this morning's second runs, leapfrogging Australia's Michelle Steele
Yarnold scorches home in 58.46, holding on to her lead with an overall time of 1:56.89.
The Great Britain slider leads by 0.44 seconds
And bringing the curtain down is Rudman's Great Britain team-mate Lizzy Yarnold, who is off on her way
Nikitina clocks in behind Pikus-Pace with 59.89, 1:57.43 overall
The penultimate slider is Russia's Elena Nikitina
Fellow American Noelle Pikus-Pace comes home in 58.65, with an overall time of 1:57.33
Uhlaender takes the lead and the top three from earlier this morning are up next
Just four sliders left to complete their second runs. The USA's Katie Uhlaender has just pushed off
Rudman currently sitting in sixth place in the overall standings. How much will she improve on her 12th-placed ranking after the first runs?
Come on @BritishSkeleton girls @TheYarnold and @ShelleyRudman- rest of the team shouting from Igls! http://t.co/1xqYbLqqbY— @jen_jb_bryant 13 February 2014
So now we play the waiting game as the remainder of the field take to the ice.
Shelley's second run was enough to hold off the challenge of Australia's Michelle Steele and the Great Britain star is currently in third place.
Beating the time of any athlete competing after her is a major plus point for the Pewsey slider
Good start by Shelley, clean lines through the tricky uphill section. 59.33, she has improved on her first run by 0.7 seconds— @BritishSkeleton 13 February 2014
Rudman betters her first run and notches up an overall time of 1:58.79
That's 59.46 in the first run and 59.33 in the second
Rudman improves on her first run with a time of 59.33
But she's just 0.01 of a second ahead into the last split!
It's a good start from Shelley but she's narrowly off the current leader
Rudman is underway
And here we go. Shelley steps up to the start line for her second run of Sochi 2014
Austrian Janine Flock is underway in Sochi and coming up once she's done is Pewsey ice queen Rudman
Just two more sliders to take on the track before Shelley pushes off on her second run.
Latvia's Lelde Priedulena has the quickest combined time so far of with 1:59.04.
Still plenty of competitors to come though
Japan's Nozomi Komuro clinches a run of 59.82 whilst Maria Gilardoni, from Switzerland, clocks up 59.79
Schaffer comes home in 59.25 whilst Romanian Maria Mazilu clocks in at 59.89 in her second run
Here's your leader after run one - Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold
Australia's Lucy Schaffer is at the start line to kick off this morning's second runs - we're underway again in Sochi!
Shelley will be ninth to hit the ice during the second heat, whilst leader Yarnold will of course, go last
Just to recap, Rudman is 12th overall with a time of 59.46. That's 1.03 seconds behind Great Britain team-mate Lizzy Yarnold (58.43), who has lived up to the pre-race hype so far to take an early lead
So there's just over five minutes until the second runs get underway at the Sliding Centre Sanki.
There's work to do for Shelley to get into medal contention but the Pewsey slider has a wealth of experience behind her and we're only a quarter of the way through.
Here's a picture of Shelley starting her Olympic bid this morning with her first run
Skeleton - Confirmed quickest goes last (rumours had varied here) Yarnold will go 0929 and Rudman 0905 (ish)— @matthewcpinsent 13 February 2014
That's heat one of four done and dusted but don't worry, there isn't long to wait until this morning's second runs get underway - just under 30 minutes
Romania's Maria Mazilu brings the curtain down on the first runs at Sochi with a time of 59.99.
Shelley Rudman (59.46) is 12th overall in the standings, 1.03 seconds behind leader and Great Britain team-mate Lizzy Yarnold
Just five sliders left to complete their first runs. Pewsey's Rudman is 11th overall whilst Yarnold has yet to be bumped off the top, despite that scorching attempt by Russian Nikitina
So Rudman's GB team-mate Yarnold has her lead cut to just 0.05 of a second. Of course, it's still very early days, with three more runs yet to come
12 sliders gone and European champion Elena Nikitina moves into second in the standings with a run of 58.48.
Rudman currently sits ninth overall
It's a strong showing from the Germans on the ice, with Sophia Griebel moving in to third (59.43)
Television coverage may have decided to switch its attention back to the men's freestyle skiiing but we'll be keeping an eye on the women's skeleton for you.
Germany's Marion Thees has clocked in at 59.25 whilst Switzerland's Marina Gilardoni went down in 59.77
So Rudman is over a second off the blistering pace set by her Great Britain team-mate Lizzy Yarnold after the duo's first runs at Sochi 2014.
The Pewsey ice queen currently sits fourth after Germany's Anja Huber moved into third place (59.17)
Shelley Rudman clocks in third with a time of 59.46
20.11 at the first split, 32.81 at the second
And off she goes!
And here come's Wiltshire's interest. Shelley Rudman is at the start line
Lizzy Yarnold clocks in at 58.43, a quarter of a second ahead of Pikus-Pace
And off goes the current World Cup champion - and it's a good start from Yarnold!
It's a track record in the first run of this year's games
Next up is Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold
Pikus-Pace kicks off the Sochi 2014 skeleton competition with a first run time of 58.68 seconds
And here we go. American Noelle Pikus-Pace is at the start line and will get us on our way
2010 gold medallist Amy Williams is currently giving a rundown of the Sochi track on TV, with plenty of shots of Rudman whizzing across the ice during practice runs
7.34am is the time Shelley is pencilled in to push off on her first run - now long to go now!
So just a reminder how it all works this morning.
Skeleton likes to keep it simple. Each slider has four runs - two today and two tomorrow - and it's the lowest overall time, not an average, that takes the gold.
The athletes go in a scheduled order for this morning's first run before going down the ice in reverse order after that
A few stats for you - because who doesn't love a few facts and figures?
A far cry from the recent weather on these shores, it's sunny in south-west Russia.
7°С is the air temperature but it's a lot colder on the ice: -5.1°С to be exact
Has anyone else got pre-race butterflies in their stomach? Just over a quarter of an hour until the Sochi skeleton gets underway
Rudman – who, let's not forget, is the reigning world champion - has said that she's done everything she can to be ready for the Sochi games
"I feel like it has taken a lot to get to this point to be here in Sochi, I know I couldn't have done anymore.
"Anything can happen on race day but I think it's clear that we've all worked incredibly hard to get to this place, so that gives me reasons to be confident.
"Everything that I've done this year has been geared up to give me the best chance of doing my best on the track at Sochi.
"I'm not worrying about the pressure because I've just been focussing on what I need to do out there and I just can't wait to go and try to make it happen."
It's quite amazing the unbelievable amount of hard work and sacrifice it's taken to get to the Skeleton start block at #Sochi12014 #gogirls— @kristanbromley 13 February 2014
We'll be keeping an eye on all of the skeleton action in Russia this morning so keep your browsers firmly logged on to gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport to see if Shelley's Sochi story gets off to the perfect start. And don't forget that the women's second runs are due to begin at 8.40am.
You can send us your good luck messages for Shelley in the comment box below or feel free to tweet us @gazsport
Just to recap, the Pewsey star is scheduled to hit the ice third, with the USA's Noelle Pikus-Pace kicking things off before Rudman's fellow Great Britain slider Lizzy Yarnold – who has been widely touted as a medal favourite after winning this season's World Cup series – goes off second.
The 32-year-old, who won a stunning silver medal in Turin in 2006 and was also sixth in Vancouver four years later, pushes off on her first run of Sochi 2014 at the Sliding Centre Sanki today, with this morning's action getting underway at 7.30am UK time.
Whilst all of the early risers around Wiltshire might still be wiping their eyes and pouring that first morning brew, one woman who's bound to already be at her sharpest is Pewsey's Shelley Rudman, who kicks off her third quest for Olympic glory this morning.
Dan will be back here from 7am with all the build-up, plus action from Sochi, plus reaction to the opening two runs of the Olympic womne's skeleton.
Don't forget to send your messages of support for Shelley by commenting under today's live blog, or via Twitter to @gazsport.
Other names to watch out for are Austria's Janine Flock, German's Anja Huber and Marion Thees as well as the Russian contingent led by Maria Orlova, who - naturally - have had plenty of practice on this track.
According to the start list provided by Sochi 2014, Shelley is due off third, after America's Noelle Pikus-Pace, who is highly fancied for a medal, and Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold, the reigning World Cup champion who has been sweeping all before her in the training runs in Sochi this week
Sports writer Dan Barnes will be with you from 7am on Thursday morning with all the build-up to the start of the race, with the first run due off from 7.30am (British time), followed by the second from 8.40am.
Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the first two runs in the Olympic women's skeleton, where 2006 silver medallist Shelley Rudman, from Pewsey, will be aiming to add a gold medal to her glittering CV.

Free software covers such a diverse range of utilities, applications, and projects, that it can be hard to find the perfect tool. We pick the best of the bunch. This month we examine Bluefish, Bidwatcher, KWappen, Capi4BSD, and current events at the Debian project.
An anthropologist at the University of Chicago recently defended a PhD dissertation on ethics and politics of the free software movement. Although Debian wasn't the sole focus of the work, Gabriella Coleman interviewed several Debian developers, attended Debian conferences, and was a regular on Debian IRC channels. You'll find an excerpt of the dissertation at [1]. KWappen Game In contrast to modern 3D shooters, KWappen does not need a powerful graphics adapter. KWappen is a game of skill, and thanks to the simple rules, it is suitable for filling in those workday breaks.

Hi kids!
So one of the things that has been keeping me so busy lately is making Christmas pillows. I fell in love with a couple of pillows from Pottery Barn, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay those prices! So I decided to try to make a couple of my favorites.
These were my inspiration pillows.
Here are my versions. I think the poinsettia pillow turned out pretty good, but I'm not thrilled about the wreath pillow. I think I'm going to have another go at it, though. We'll see how much time I have after I finish all my other bazillion projects!
Since I had my sewing machine out, and since making pillows is super easy, I decided to make a few more. Some to keep and some to give as gifts.
How do you like my felt sheepie pillow? Cutest thing ever isn't it? I really had no reason to make it other than it being so cute. I'll save it to put in my future baby's room.
There you have it! Of course, the pillows aren't the only projects that have been keeping me super busy. I have decided to change my entire Christmas decor theme this year which naturally means making new stockings, a tree skirt, etc., etc. Why do I do this to myself?!
More pictures of other projects to come!

Hello! I absolutely love reading your blog and seeing all your fabulous creations! However, I am a completely newbie to sewing but am eager to get started! Do you have any recommendations for a good sewing machine for a beginner?
- December 5, 2011 at 1:07 AM
- Joy said...
@Deb--I use the Brother CS6000i. It's relatively cheap for a sewing machine and really easy to use. You can find it on Amazon right now for a great price! Good luck!

Wrestlers win regionals, send 12 to states
Published on Wed, Feb 13, 2013 by

The Blaine wrestling team had what head coach Craig Foster called "a great regional tournament performance," in Hoquiam on February 9, and 11 Borderites earned their trip to the 25th Mat Classic state wrestling championship in Tacoma this weekend. With Olivia Adams earning a bid at the girls regional tournament in Sedro-Woolley the same day, that makes 12 Blaine wrestlers headed to state – equal to the most athletes Foster can remember sending in his 23-year career as head coach.
"It was an outstanding total team performance," Foster said. "Everyone wrestled hard, and we won some tight matches that made it a pretty exciting tournament."
Anthony Frey at 126 lbs., Caleb Johnson at 195 lbs. and Mikey Antczak at 285 lbs. each won their championship matches. Overall, Blaine won the tournament with 217.5 points.
Asked if any matches stood out, Foster said Justin Belding's and Anthony Frey's impressed him.
"Belding was in the toughest weight, and he came back from a loss in the first round to win three matches in a row and get a bid to state," Foster said. "Anthony Frey surprised everyone by pinning the fourth ranked guy in the state [Javier Contreras from Forks, who is now ranked 10th statewide in 1A at 126 lbs.]. Both the Frey boys are kind of dangerous because they're young and unknown, but they'll flip guys on their backs pretty quick. It's exciting to have kids like that on the team."
Foster said as always, he is looking forward to the Mat Classic. Foster, who has attended the Mat Classic as a coach every year since 1990, said the championship is one of the most respected and well-attended high school wrestling tournaments in the country.
"There are 24 mats going on at once, but it's not chaos," he said. "They've got it down to where it's well organized. It's pretty neat."
The team will travel to a hotel in Auburn on Thursday, February 14. Matches begin the next day at 10 a.m., running in four sessions over the course of two days.
"Friday morning is usually a little dicey," Foster said, with schools battling Tacoma traffic to get to the arena and athletes working out the jitters in their early matches.
"Friday night's kind of like heartbreak hill," he added, "because that's when people start to get eliminated."
The veteran Blaine coach said he has a lot of great memories and a lot of heartbreaks from Mat Classics of the past.
"Sometimes you watch kids grow up, coach them from when they were kids to when they're young adults, and you see their whole wrestling career boil down to one 30-second match," he said. "That's a pretty amazing thing when you look at it like that."
Over the years, Foster has seen both sides – victory and heartbreak – and while he has every reason to be optimistic about Blaine's performance at state this year, the wisdom of experience has taught him not to expect a specific outcome.
"Anything can happen," he said. "There are a lot of good teams out there, and we're kind of unproven. We could end up near the top, or down at 15th or 20th, so I really don't know what to expect. We just hope we can go hard and wrestle tough."

Jason Aldean is kicking off Wednesday night's CMT Music Awards with his friend Lenny Kravitz . Florida Georgia Line is teaming up with their pal, rapper Nelly , to perform the "Cruise" remix later in the show. This gig is a dream come true for Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard , who actually used to sneak in without a ticket to watch the CMT Music Awards at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
Brian says, " We've had some good times here. So, it feels good to be a part of the country music family. CMT's been very good to us, so we're excited about the night."
As for what fans can expect from their performance, Nelly tells viewers to expect a lot of energy onstage.
"We're gonna have a lot of fun," he says. "It's the guys', I guess, first year of making the rounds so to speak. So, I know they're real excited. I'm real excited to be here."
Carrie Underwood is dedicating her CMT Music Awards performance of "See You Again" to those affected by the recent, deadly tornadoes in her home state of Oklahoma. The emotional impact of the song will be heightened by the choir backing Carrie up on the song.
She says, "I've never done the choir thing before. I'm really excited that it's for something special and it's for the CMT Awards."
Images of people helping out in the wake of the tornadoes will play on the screen behind Carrie as she sings, but she can't bring herself to really look at those photos until her performance is over.
"If I know that that's going on behind me, I don't know if I'll be able to keep singing," Carrie explains, "So, I think I'll watch it back and be like, 'Wow.'"
Lady Antebellum is feeling the pressure to top their previous CMT Music Awards performances, including last year's mashup of "We Owned the Night" with pop group Hot Chelle Rae 's song "Tonight, Tonight." The year before that, Lady A got loose with a performance of Prince 's "Kiss" after singing "Just a Kiss" on the show.
Band member Charles Kelley tells ABC News Radio, "We've always has probably our most fun performances there. You do have to kind of come up with something fun and different."
Charles' band mate Hillary Scott feels the fans in the audience at the CMT Music Awards really help the show take on a party atmosphere. A lot of those fans will be sticking around for the CMA Music Festival all this week in Nashville too.
"It's the highest energy," Hillary says of the CMT Music Awards crowd. "They're so excited because they have sacrificed their time and their finances to come to Nashville and be a part of this huge festival." (LADY ANTEBELLUM AUDIO IS EXCLUSIVE)
Darius Rucker , Little Big Town , Luke Bryan , Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift are among the other stars performing on Wednesday night's CMT Music Awards. Keith Urban will deliver his latest single, "Little Bit of Everything," and Hunter Hayes will entertain fans on the outdoor stage with his latest single, "I Want Crazy." Also, Ashley Monroe , Cassadee Pope , Dustin Lynch , Kree Harrison , Love and Theft and Randy Houser will give abbreviated performances on the Nationwide Insurance stage during the show.
Look for a host of stars, including Reba , Blake Shelton , Kelsey Grammer , Dr. Drew , Vince Vaughn and Lorraine Bracco to take part in the show opening. Presenters include Kellie Pickler , Kevin and Michael Bacon of The Bacon Brothers , Larry the Cable Guy , Lisa Marie Presley , AnnaSophia Robb , Cassadee Pope , Ed Sheeran , Jana Kramer , Kenny Rogers , Sheryl Crow and The Band Perry among others.
Jason Aldean co-hosts the 2013 CMT Music Awards with actress Kristen Bell Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET on CMT and CMT.com .

PPG Refinish
19699 Progress Drive
Strongsville, OH 44149
PPG's paint shop interface allows the PaintManager™ color retrieval software program to work with today's popular body shop management systems to enhance the sharing of critical information between the front office and the paint operation.
( back to top )
ROCO, or Repair Ordering COsting, is the PPG developed software tool that enables the computer-based communication between Body Shop Management Systems (BSMS) and the PPG PaintManager™ software. ROCO populates the PaintManager™ software with Repair Order (RO) information automatically.
Using the paint shop interface a collision center can track all paint and materials product consumed against the correct repair order, making it easier to evaluate materials usage and financial performance. And since repair order and estimate information is automatically transferred to PaintManager™ from your body shop management system, technicians are assured of having up-to-date information on every repair—eliminating the inefficiencies of having to re-key data.
Typical Repair Order data includes:
Yes, the data transfer is secure. For many management systems the data is simply transferred from the management system in the collision center to the PaintManager™ computer in the shop, and remains at that location. In other cases, where the management system is run over the internet, the data is transferred by ROCO with full encryption and security.
After the interface has been established between the Body Shop Management System (BSMS) and the PPG PaintManager™ software, repair order information will automatically transfer from the BSMS to PaintManager™ on an hourly basis. This timing can be configured. The paint technician will be able to access all transferred ROs via the PaintManager™ Production Management screen. When a vehicle has been repaired and delivered, and the RO has been closed in the management system, the RO will be removed automatically from the Production Management view.
Yes. Before the Body Shop Management System can transfer data automatically to the PaintManager™ software, the mixing computer (TouchMix™ hardware) must be on the shop network. ( View guidelines for Simplifying Your PaintManager™ Network )
A PPG HelpDesk or Field Support technician will assist in configuring the Body Shop Management System to the PPG PaintManager™ Program Software. Contact the PPG Computer Support HelpDesk at 1-800-647-6050.
The advantage of interfacing your Body Shop Management System to PPG's PaintManager™ software is the ability to get a better understanding of a collision shop's financial and operational performance. By utilizing the Repair Order data and tracking all mixing operations through PaintManager™ Production Management, a shop manager will have the ability to monitor and manage the productivity and efficiency of their collision center operation. Two key reports generated from the PaintManager™ reporting utility, Report Viewer, include Repair Order Invoice and Paint & Materials Gross Profit. Other benefits include reviewing a paint technician's Mix Accuracy to offer coaching and training if waste is an issue. There are opportunities with these reports to engage the entire operation in workflow improvements and generate streamlined processes.
PPG developed an open interface solution which allows a greater reach into the pool of BSMS vendors. Currently PPG is actively working with the following management systems. Please note that we are continuously adding systems on a regular basis. (For our current list of interface partners, go to the PaintManager™ Support Page). If your system is not included in the list below, please contact the PPG Computer Support HelpDesk and they will initiate a request to the development team. PPG is always interested in adding new management system vendors to the paint shop interface.
PPG is solely an interface partner and does not recommend one system over another. We suggest you contact the BSMS vendors directly to set up a demo. Links to our current partners are available on the PaintManager™ Support Page.
Yes, some of our management system partners have added the ability to load mix data, such as costs and component volumes, into their system in order to allow the use of actual mix costs, as opposed to a general estimate, within the management system.
Contact the PPG Computer Support Helpdesk at 1-800-647-6050.

(a) A seaman's entitlement to wages and provisions begins when the seaman begins work or when specified in the agreement required by section 10302 of this title for the seaman to begin work or be present on board, whichever is earlier.
(b) Wages are not dependent on the earning of freight by the vessel. When the loss or wreck of the vessel ends the service of a seaman before the end of the period contemplated in the agreement, the seaman is entitled to wages for the period of time actually served. The seaman shall be deemed a destitute seaman under section 11104 of this title. This subsection applies to a fishing or whaling vessel but not a yacht.
(c) When a seaman who has signed an agreement is discharged improperly before the beginning of the voyage or before one month's wages are earned, without the seaman's consent and without the seaman's fault justifying discharge, the seaman is entitled to receive from the master or owner, in addition to wages earned, one month's wages as compensation.
(d) A seaman is not entitled to wages for a period during which the seaman—
(1) unlawfully failed to work when required, after the time fixed by the agreement for the seaman to begin work; or
(e) After the beginning of the voyage, a seaman is entitled to receive from the master, on demand, one-half of the balance of wages earned and unpaid at each port at which the vessel loads or delivers cargo during the voyage. A demand may not be made before the expiration of 5 days from the beginning of the voyage, not more than once in 5 days, and not more than once in the same port on the same entry. If a master does not comply with this subsection, the seaman is released from the agreement and is entitled to payment of all wages earned. Notwithstanding a release signed by a seaman under section 10312 of this title, a court having jurisdiction may set aside, for good cause shown, the release and take action that justice requires. This subsection does not apply to a fishing or whaling vessel or a yacht.
(f) At the end of a voyage, the master shall pay each seaman the balance of wages due the seaman within 24 hours after the cargo has been discharged or within 4 days after the seaman is discharged, whichever is earlier. When a seaman is discharged and final payment of wages is delayed for the period permitted by this subsection, the seaman is entitled at the time of discharge to one-third of the wages due the seaman.
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), when payment is not made as provided under subsection (f) of this section without sufficient cause, the master or owner shall pay to the seaman 2 days' wages for each day payment is delayed.
(2) The total amount required to be paid under paragraph (1) with respect to all claims in a class action suit by seamen on a passenger vessel capable of carrying more than 500 passengers for wages under this section against a vessel master, owner, or operator or the employer of the seamen shall not exceed ten times the unpaid wages that are the subject of the claims.
(3) A class action suit for wages under this subsection must be commenced within three years after the later of—

|Source section (U.S. Code)
Section 10313 provides that a seaman's entitlement to wages begins when the seaman begins work, or as specified in the shipping agreement. This section also qualifies a seaman's entitlement to wages if the vessel is lost or wrecked, if the seaman is discharged improperly, or if the seaman unlawfully failed to work or was imprisoned. It also establishes procedures for the payment of wages at each port the vessel loads or unloads cargo, and at the end of the voyage. This section applies to seamen on foreign vessels in United States harbors, but not to fishing vessels, whaling vessels or yachts.
