Louis is Superman! (Pacific Coast News)
Check out that cape. (Pacific Coast News)
It's a bird... it's a plane... it's Louis Bardo Bullock!
Sandra Bullock's adorable son, Louis, didn't let a rainy Los Angeles day get him down on Monday. Instead, he used the powers of Superman to will the clouds away. The 3-year-old cutie was spotted walking home from school with his mom in a Superman raincoat, complete with a cape, jeans and a pair of red sneakers.
[Related: Exclusive 'Man of Steel' Poster Shows It's Work for Superman to Fly]
From the looks of it, little Louis spent the day crafting a Mother's Day gift for his superstar mom. Bullock, who beat the rain wearing a pair of black boots, leggings, and a cozy sweater, was spotted holding a pot of yellow flowers from her little guy as they exited the school.
This isn't the first time the A-list tot has had us cooing over his cool style choices. In February 2012, Louis donned a T-shirt version of Clark Kent's famous getup. And last year, the Cajun cookie dressed as Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and cheered for Super Bowl winner Michael Oher (and "The Blind Side" inspiration) in his #74 Baltimore Ravens jersey.
[Related: Kate Middleton and Prince William's Baby Nabs Royal Lullaby]
Whether or not the 48-year-old actress has a hand in Louis's fashion choices, we'll never know. But let's hope he takes after his mom and gets into the movie business.
Clearly, he'd make a great Superman!
We know Louis is a fan of Superman. Check out which other celebs love superheroes.

The Day Off Diet is the best way to lose your belly fat and losing belly fat is the key to getting the six pack abs (if you're a man) or the perfectly flat stomach (if you're a woman) of your dreams.
"Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym."
You can do thousands of crunches every day and/or use all of the silly ab exercise machine gimmicks advertised on TV but that will do next to nothing for getting rid of your belly fat and as long as you have belly fat any muscle you have in your stomach will be hidden below a layer of flab.
That's why the real key to a great looking stomach is not ab exercise (or even doing hours upon hours of cardio) but following a diet that boosts your metabolism so that your body burns fat fast (including belly fat.)
That's what The Day Off Diet is. It's a diet that is designed to boost your metabolism for fast fat loss. It's also designed to be easy to follow and that's very important. There's no point in dieting if you can't stick with it! This is a diet plan that you will be able to stick with all the way until you reach your goal weight.
This is a diet plan that can be downloaded online instantly (you can get started with it right away, and that's definitely what is recommended. The sooner you start, the sooner you will have the perfect midsection of your dreams.) It also comes with a no questions asked 60 day satisfaction guarantee. That means that if you are unhappy with the diet plan for any reason you can get a full refund at any time within 60 days. You will not find a better guarantee than that. Go to learn more about The Day Off Diet and how it will help you to lose belly fat.

A Step In the Right Direction:When you love your little dog as much as you do, you want to have them with you at all times. But often when we'd like to have them with us the most, such as watching TV in bed, reading on the sofa, or snoozing in our favorite chair, it can be a real challenge for them to jump up and join you – those little legs just can't reach! You don't want them leaping off a high surface and injuring their legs, either. Another concern is hip and joint deterioration due to aging. We need to protect them at this vulnerable time. Don't despair, though, there's a wonderful selection of doggie stairs available to fit the needs, and tastes, of any caring mom or dad. Sturdy foam steps come in different heights to accommodate different needs, and you can accessorize them with covers to match your décor. Molded steps are wider for the unsure pup that needs more space to go up and down. They're also good for the car, as they save your back from all that picking up! The beautiful hardwood variety adds a touch of elegance to any room. Togetherness has never been better!ARTICLES:Learn the health advantages of pet steps, readA Little Helping Step Goes a Long Way!.

New research by the Center for Applied Research, a think tank affiliate of State Street Corporation, is bound to leave a few advisors scratching their heads.
Thats because retail and institutional investors are making bets contrary to their investment goals, according to the research, entitled: The Influential Investor: How Investor Behavior is Redefining Performance.
Specifically, the study, which was based on 12 months of research and input from more than 3,300 investment management industry participants, found that when retail investors were asked what steps they needed to take over the next ten years to retire, the majority said to invest more aggressively, yet cash is their number one allocation now and is expected to remain number one over the next decade.
Also, low-yield markets have increased institutional investors appetite for alternative strategies. Yet, the majority of respondents admit their greatest challenge is not having a deep enough understanding of these assets.
While investors have never been as aware of their micro and macro environments, they are exhibiting behaviors that are divorced from their stated investment objectives, stated Kelly McKenna, global head of the State Street Center for Applied Research.

If you want another good point of reference for your debate look at this site as well.
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
The stats above are absolutely meaningless because there is no way of having a control group. You have nothing to compare the statistics to.
In fact, the statistics show that overall violent crime has steadily decreased over time in the US along with the murder rate. However in Australia the violent crime rate has increased over the past 20-30 years, while the murder rate has continued to fall. Australia became more violent but the murder rate decreased.
The semiautomatic weapons ban and tighter gun control in Australia also coincided with a dramatic increase in drug related gang crime, as well as a slashing of the mental health budget which both would have had an effect on the violent crime rate.
The other important point to consider is that even before gun control, guns were not particularly common in Australia. The (legal, accounted for) ownership rate was far lower than in the US. Less than 1/4. The impact of theoretically removing all semiautomatic weapons from the US would be far, far more pronounced than it was in Australia.
Interesting video from the gun control hearings:
- proposed assault weapons ban is an ineffective piece of legislation
- fully automatic machine guns are already functionally illegal
- according to DOJ (under Janet Reno/Bill Clinton) the previous assault weapons ban did not reduce the number of victims per incident or multiple gun shot wound victims
- proposed legislation based on cosmetic features (scary looking guns), NOT performance features, functionality, power, lethality.
- according the the DOJ, before background checks went into effect 1.9% of firearms used in crimes were obtained at gun shows
Im somewhat disappointed that more African Americans dont think for themselves and just go with whatever theyre supposed to say and think."
- Dr. Benjamin Carson
You typed it right out in your post, the buying back of guns in Australia did nothing to curtail drug related violence or crime rate. It also did nothing for the suicide rate, people killed themselves all the same. So again what it is the purpose behind the ban? Is that you just don't agree with the second amendment or is that you truly think it is going to help? It will not help in the overall totals, just like the Harrison Act did nothing but create a market for criminals to profit from illegal drugs.
If you want to know everything about the relevance of the Australian buy back and correlation to guns read this paper from page to page, as I did: http://andrewleigh.org/pdf/GunBuyback_Panel.pdf
It shows a strong correlation that the buy back lowered gun deaths but the error bars are also large. It also cannot explain away the suicide substitution rate, it gives a theory to support the notion that the suicide substitution rate is related to a proposed change in reporting practices but the paper found no reason that the practices were changed so it is merely speculation. The problem with Australia is the fact the rates are low anyway providing little certainly that the NFA worked, as I said there is a R2 value that the correlation is strong for deaths and suicides being lower when correlated with the buy back and suggests that it helped, the range of error in those findings extended from zero to above the national averages for deaths per 100,000 so the suggestion is questionable because of the overall low numbers of deaths by these means in Australia anyway. However the suicide substitution rate was over 100% which implied a rise in suicides which was unexplainable by the study. There was also a little blurb in there about the type of guns that were handed in and they were mostly .22 caliber and shotguns which are not being discussed here in the US or on the Australian ban list. There is also evidence to suggest that the gun related deaths were falling before the NFA so while there is a reason of confidence that the NFA worked there is also holes in the study. Which leads me to my original statement of whether it worked as intended or not or if the overall trend was already there to begin with and the NFA came in the middle of a downward trending cycle.
I own guns and I always will own guns, my son owns a gun, my dad does and so does almost every single person that I know. It is a right granted by the constitution of the Untied States of America and I cherish those rights. If you have cause to support your actions are for the greater good, so be it but if you pass laws to make yourself feel good while not addressing the fundamental problem of the US which is the civility and social respect we show each other than it is as fruitless as drinking water from the back of the glass.

$30,000 Planning Grant to the City of Woodburn
Indianapolis – Lt. Governor Ellspermann has awarded a $30,000 planning grant to the City of Woodburn to fund a Downtown Revitalization Plan through the state's Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
"Planning grants are an important first step as communities consider the best way to attract new businesses," said Lt. Governor Ellspermann. "The City of Woodburn continues its efforts to improve services for its residents, and we're pleased to be able to support their grant request."
The planning grant for the City of Woodburn will be used to evaluate existing downtown conditions and provide guidance for improving the downtown district.
The funding comes from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which has proven to be an effective tool for community-based planning and research initiatives. The CDBG program is administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

Awhile back, my good friend Alex was telling a group of us a story about her married life that I have never quite been able to shake from my mind. To this day, I still laugh out loud when I envision the real-life scene. She was one of my roommates in our off-campus house during the college years and I am well-versed in her romantic history. In those days, there was more than one random Tuesday afternoon when I'd walk into the house and be greeted with Madonna's Justify My Love pounding through the speakers and the view of a veritable Splendor on the Carpet because Alex and her college boyfriend didn't have class that day. Never mind that she had her own bedroom with her own door, or that she knew when her roommates would get home for the day. That kind of stuff never seemed to bother her at all.
I have so many great and wholly-inappropriate-for-this-blog stories about living with her that I could fill a book, but I'll wait for my publishing deal to come through. I don't give it all away for free, you know! Back to the story that I am going to share with you...
Alex and her husband were looking to spice things up in the bedroom with a little bit of role playing. Her husband worked second shift and she suggested that one night after she's asleep he should come into the bedroom with a mask on--like an intruder--and, you know, seduce her. He shouldn't tell her in advance though, because that would ruin the surprise. So far, so good, right?
She assumed that when the night came, he would wear something like this:
A textbook ski mask. They had an entire front closet full of them.
Or this:
The bank robber look. Simple. Classic. Never goes out of style.
Or, if he was feeling REALLY creative maybe he'd show up in something like this:
She didn't REALLY think he'd go to the trouble of buying a mask with rhinestone detailing, but this was about as much credit as she was giving him for pulling out all the stops. That was the last time she'd ever underestimate his creativity.
Here's the part of the story which emphasizes the great divide between women and men, and how we are not wired the same way AT ALL.
Several weeks had gone by, and she drifted off to sleep one night, with nary a thought of their previous discussion. Her husband came home from work and figured it had been long enough for her to have put the "seduction by masked man" idea out of her mind so he excitedly went into action, going to the garage to pull out what he planned to wear from the very first time she brought it up. He just knew he had the perfect thing! He then skulked into the house, and tip-toed into their darkened bedroom. Just as he hovered over her side of the bed, he flipped on the low-wattage nightstand lamp while shaking her shoulder to wake her.
She groggily opened her eyes, to see this:
Turns out he had an old Halloween costume in the garage that she didn't know about: Jason, from Friday the 13th
She screamed her head off, jumped up from the bed, and kicked him so hard that he fell to his knees. Her violent reaction shocked him! Her incredibly accurate kick knocked the wind out of him! This was NOT part of the plan! Even though he was reaching for her from the floor, attempting to say, "It's ME! It's okay, it's only ME!" all that was coming out of his mouth was a succession of low and indistinguishable moans of confounded pain. In the meantime, she ran to grab the kitchen phone and locked herself in the bathroom on the lower level of their house, where she immediately called 911.
By the time her husband gathered himself and made it downstairs, the police were already on their way, and boy, did he have some explaining to do.
Do yourself a favor this Halloween--and especially any other day of the year-- resist waking your loved one while wearing a terrifying costume, no matter how perfect you think it is.

A spooky, scary and spine-chillingly appropriate holiday story, also see: hilarious cautionary tale
Awhile back, my good friend Alex was telling a group of us a story about her married life that I have never quite been able to shake from my mind. To this day, I still laugh out loud when I envision the real-life scene. She was one of my roommates in our off-campus house during the college years and I am well-versed in her romantic history. In those days, there was more than one random Tuesday afternoon when I'd walk into the house and be greeted with Madonna's Justify My Love pounding through the speakers and the view of a veritable Splendor on the Carpet because Alex and her college boyfriend didn't have class that day. Never mind that she had her own bedroom with her own door, or that she knew when her roommates would get home for the day. That kind of stuff never seemed to bother her at all.

OMG, hilarious!
I was wondering at first where you were going with your story...I lost the trust, man. I lost the trust. But then I was like, "Ah-HA!" That is one of the funniest things ever.
And I love the sequined mask: a'la Zorro the Gay Blade! But Bunny!

@Kat: Happy Halloween backatya! You guys in Ireland yet? Have a Guiness for me!
@Sognatrice: Thanks for the link! I'll go there and post it now!
@Mis: Neva lose the faith! Neva! Yes, I thought of posting a Zorro mask but couldn't get past wondering what "tha pipples" would think if I did such a thing. Also, I would have had to caption any Zorro picture with, "Here I Yam!!!"

@Melissa: Her husband SINCERELY thought it was the "perfect" thing to wear, and didn't realize it would frighten her like it did. He actually said later that he thought it would get her HOT.
I'm not joking. That's why I wrote that men & women are clearly wired differently.
- October 31, 2007 at 9:16 PM
- Jules said...
@Manic: YES it's true! This is actually one of the more tame stories I have about her. She was much wilder in our college days and WHOA she'd kill me if I blogged about any of that stuff....

I changed 4 HF roller top material handling stands a while back to a angle iron stock so I could put a sheet of plywood on the top of them and have a work table/surface.
The rollers were under a bench, catching dust along with a first generation B&D work mate stand. After trying to move the hot water tank by myself to get a better position to cut, and at a better height.
It hit me like, dropping the tank on my foot.
I took the rollers and placed them on the top of the Work mate surface.
2 rollers inside the back and 2 others on the outside of the front. It has some adjustability for width/dia of the item being supported. The hot water tank was 18"dia, the pipe is 4"dia and the rim is for a 15" tire.
These are the HF roller stands Item # 95621 these are the ones with the steel rollers and the base of the roller has a 90' mounting flange with a hole. Makes it easy to adjust the height under the roller base to get the screw in the center of the wood ply top.
They do have the rollers loose at half the cost of the stands, The stands are currently on sale. They are also the same stands that a lot of places sell both on line and in the stores.
Results 1 to 1 of 1
Quick and low buck rotisserie, sort ofglen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space

A MAGICTRICKS.COM EXCLUSIVE! The clever Flying Butterfly Trick is an amazing novelty sold by the legendary S.S. Adams Company for many decades. Though the company is now part of magic history, the legacy lives on through the efforts of Magic Makers Inc. We were lucky to obtain a supply of these butterflies so that you would have the opportunity to own one of the most amusing novelty tricks ever created! A great bit of magic nostalgia!
The Flying Butterfly can be easily concealed inside a closed book, like we show in the video demo. Open the book, and suddenly a large, colorful butterfly zooms out of the pages and into the air! The butterfly will flutter up to 10 feet in the air! Startling and amazing, it's truly a magical moment!
The butterfly can be produced out of a book, a birthday card, a box, a hat- anything that will hold it flat until you release it. Of course, you can also just hold it in your hand and let it go! The trick is completely automatic- it really does work all by itself! And it can be used over and over and over again!
Perfect for adding a bit of the unexpected to a theatrical production, a talent show act or a birthday party show. This one can be performed close up and can also be seen from stage.
The Magic Coloring Book is not included, but it is an excellent choice for producing your butterfly. The Magic Coloring Book can be purchased separately from MagicTricks.com.

Why do women Golfers Choose Bozeman to play college Golf?
We posed that question to Brittany Basye who had 9 golfers on the Montana State squad this past season with only three of them coming from Montana. One of her team members is from California which offers the ultimate irony of a young college student who could play golf at home everyday chooses to play college golf at snowbound M-S-U in Bozeman

Super Halftime Show??
Well watching the game last night I found it very entertaining to check Facebook sporadically, and see what I thought were some of the best posts of the year. First you had everyone talking about who they had and all the crazy reasons why, then I think everyone I have as a friend made some sort of comment about Christina Aguilera messing up the National Anthem (I still love you Christina)

INTERVIEW: Edison2's Chief of Design Ron Mathis
Ron Mathis is the Chief of Design for Edison2 and has 30 years of experience in professional racing — he's worked for the likes of Audi, Jaguar and Dodge. Right now he's helping to run a team of 70 highly specialized individuals in hopes of bringing home the X prize for the world's most efficient vehicle. The Very Light Car is the foundation of their entries in the competition, and as the name implies, the vehicle is very light. Brakes, which typically weigh over a pound, only weigh a few ounces in the Very Light Car. Right now the final stages of the competition are being held in Michigan and the validation stage in August will determine the winners.
Inhabitat: Give us a rundown of the three cars left in the competition.
Ron: We have three cars in the X-Prize competition finals. Two of them are in the Mainstream class (meaning 4 seats and luggage space) and are very close to identical; the other is in the Alternative Tandem (two seats, one behind the other) class. We entered multiple cars so that simple bad luck such as a flat tire would not take us out of the competition.
Inhabitat: When did you first start building the cars?
Ron: There are lots of possible answers to that! Seriously, the cars draw so much on the accumulated experience of our team that we can almost be said to have started building them with erector sets when we were kids. The direct ancestors to the actual cars we have in the competition we started building a couple of years ago.
Inhabitat: You started off with 5 cars and are now down to 3 for the final stages. Why five different designs? Why not put more focus on less?
Ron:With finite resources of people and time, it's a balancing act. We entered 5 cars and turned up for the first event with 4. The car we've lost along the way (it had a bought-in engine component fail) was an earlier generation prototype but the 3 still in the competition are mechanically very similar. This works for us when, for example, we can have a car in the emissions lab at the same time we have another in the wind tunnel.

Goals: search for evidence of methane and other trace atmospheric gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological processes and to test key technologies in preparation for ESA's contribution to subsequent missions to Mars. This mission has two parts - a Trace Gas Orbiter plus an Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) - that will travel together to Mars.
Development Status: Under construction.
