Do you manage your own investment funds? If so, you're in a club that continues to grow in size, despite the fact that the recent market rally has left many investors unconvinced. Recent data found that online brokers, the most common home for retail investors, have gained three percentage points of market share, representing a 19% annual growth rate, while wire houses like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have lost 1.1 points. Other retail brokerages, companies that manage money on behalf of clients, lost four percentage points in the same period.
If more individuals are electing to invest their money on their own, why is this happening on such a large scale?
2008 and 2009 proved to be a wakeup call for consumers. They found that their money was at serious risk and the people they trusted to guard their funds were just as surprised as they were. In their mind, they were paying big fees for very little protection, leading them to believe that they could do a better job managing their own money.
With the events of the Great Recession still fresh in their minds, according to an article in Investment News, a trade publication for financial advisers, retail customers feel like they are in better control of their money if they manage it on their own.
Better Research
Thanks to the Internet, retail investors have access to more information than ever. The information not only includes earnings reports and stock quotes, but educational content from the world's top investors. Not only does the individual investor have access to much of the same information as the pros, finding relevant information is easy. If you don't know where to look, there are plenty of educational articles that tell you how to sift through the huge volume of information.
Financial Media
Love it or hate it, the amount of media outlets dedicated to the financial markets continues to increase, and they have become a 24-hour-per-day presence. Even if you're not close to a TV, their smartphone apps and breaking news notifications allow the investor to stay up-to-date, regardless of where they are.
Some experts argue that the financial media encourages irresponsible behavior like noise trading, without the knowledge to be profitable, but there's no doubt that this relatively new source of information has caught the eye of investors of all levels.
Popularity of ETFs
There are now more than 1,000 exchange traded funds on the market. ETFs offer the retail investor a low-cost way to diversify their portfolio without having to use mutual funds. There are ETFs for all sectors of the market, allowing broad diversification to be achieved without professional level knowledge.
Social Media
How would you like to run your trades past other traders or well-known professionals? Social media has allowed for great communication amongst traders. Social media has allowed for greater communication between individuals in the market. Most discount brokers now have robust message boards and real-time chat platforms, allowing the trader to gain valuable input before committing real money. Other social media platforms like StockTwits and Facebook provide real-time information.
The Bottom Line
The retail investor is gaining ground, but a tool is only as effective as the person using it. Many discount brokers offer virtual or paper trading accounts where the new investor can trade fake money until they have the experience to manage their own funds. Some argue that the oversimplification of stock market information leads investors to believe that managing assets is easy and that may lead to significant losses. Retail investors without the knowledge and experience to effectively manage their investments should still leave retirement funds to those who understand portfolio management.

Ever notice how before "Mikey" asks for matches, he just stares straight ahead with that dead-eye look for, like, 60 seconds straight without blinking even ONCE? That had to be one of Nelson's greatest moments on MST3K. That unblinking psycho-stare was fucking awesome! Just for that alone someone should give Mikey some matches. He totally earned them.
Good to see Kevin get some screen time for once. :)
(Reverend's head grows larger and larger as he approaches the camera) ... Tom Servo : "I'm bigger than Jesus!"
All this and an obscure John Lennon reference too? Can this episode possibly get any more awesome? (and I haven't even petted the llama yet)
So I'm taking a tour of the eps I've never managed to finish. I've seen the ghoulish delight of a short many times, and all the skits. (Frank's anguished "Squanto! brings back fond memories.)
But the movie. I doubt I'll watch it again, but I'm glad I finished it.
I find it funny that in the last 30 seconds the movie decides it wants us to take it seriously. What would I do? Turn off this profoundly dumb, boring movie, which I did half an hour ago. (Well, previously, I did. This trip, I obviously made it to the end. Still...
You know, another movie on my unfinished list is The Unearthly, which also involves an escaped convict held by an evil conniver. I guess that plot line just doesn't work for me.
Huh...okay...! Diaper the toast and butter the baby!!

Wow, what was the point of that short? Why remind us that none of it matters? The work we do, the things we say, write, build, it doesn't matter. We spend our lives fighting each other; working for someone else's agenda; being treated as a commodity, only useful as far as you can make someone else money; kept under control through debt, fear, and if all else fails, through force; and none of it matters. We are just a growth on a rock in space, probably one of many. We are given such a wonderful, brief time of life. A short flash of light in eternal darkness, and what do we do with it? What have we ALWAYS done with it? We SQUANDER IT!!! We fritter it away in vain pursuits of material wealth, we hurt others in many ways to get what WE want. We succumb to fear and let others rule us. We have the mental capacity to recognize these faults in ourselves and fix them, but do we? Sure many people do, but largely, no we don't. We are worse than any virus or insect that mindlessly lays waste to it's environment. No. We do what we do knowingly, and that is a whole new breed of evil. The worst part for me personally? I'm just as f***ing guilty as everyone else is, and it hurts me more deeply than I know how to express.
I just love what crow spits out around 1:21:50 - its just so funny

"You people bring matches for Mikey?" One of my favorite lines from any of the host segments. The way Mike just stares straight-faced at the camera before the delivery, and Tom's reaction to the line, that's icing on the cake. This episode deserves more laughs than 54 just for that skit alone.

Edgar G. Ulmar directed this? No wonder this is one of the MST3K movies I actually sort of like. He did a lot of fairly good (albeit weird) film noir movies in the late 40s, such as "Detour."

What a depressing short this go around. Basically the message I took from that is to not let your local priest get at all familiar with you. If you do, bad things will occur.
By golly that intro skit was the best part of this episode. "Y'all don't give matches to Mikey! Bad Mikey! No matches!" And then Crow as the Llama freaking out as Mike pets him feverishly. Great stuff!

Crow's gibberish riff at 1:21:52 makes me laugh every time. The short in this episode is great, but the rest of the episode is otherwise kind of forgettable--save for this awesome Crow moment, which is one of my favorite in the entire series.
at movie sign Crow's eyes do seem to fly from his head, around 0:06:00

Mike maintains that incredibly unsettling "thosand-yard stare" throughout the opening skit. It must have been quite a challenge given that everyone else on set was assuredly laughing like maniacs.
Makes you wonder how many takes this bit required.
What the? You can't have jump cuts in a binocular's point of view!!
I think Crow's eyeballs fly out of his head just before they go to the theater at ~6:00, lol.

GAO's 2013 High-Risk Series:
An Update
GAO-13-359T: Published: Feb 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6806
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In February 2011, GAO detailed 30 high-risk areas. Sufficient progress has been made to remove the high-risk designation from two areas.
- Management of Interagency Contracting. Improvements include (1) continued progress made by agencies in addressing identified deficiencies, (2) establishment of additional management controls, (3) creation of a policy framework for establishing new interagency contracts, and (4) steps taken to address the need for better data on these contracts.
- Internal Revenue Service Business Systems Modernization. We are removing this area because progress has been made in addressing significant weaknesses in information technology and financial management capabilities. IRS delivered the initial phase of its cornerstone tax processing project and began the daily processing and posting of individual taxpayer accounts in January 2012. This enhanced tax administration and improved service by enabling faster refunds for more taxpayers, allowing more timely account updates, and faster issuance of taxpayer notices. IRS has put in place close to 80 percent of the practices needed for an effective investment management process, including all of the processes needed for effective project oversight.
While these two areas have been removed from the High Risk List, GAO will continue to monitor them.
This year, GAO has added two areas.
- Limiting the Federal Government's Fiscal Exposure by Better Managing Climate Change Risks. Climate change creates significant financial risks for the federal government, which owns extensive infrastructure, such as defense installations; insures property through the National Flood Insurance Program; and provides emergency aid in response to natural disasters. The federal government is not well positioned to address the fiscal exposure presented by climate change, and needs a government wide strategic approach with strong leadership to manage related risks.
- Mitigating Gaps in Weather Satellite Data. Potential gaps in environmental satellite data beginning as early as 2014 and lasting as long as 53 months have led to concerns that future weather forecasts and warnings--including warnings of extreme events such as hurricanes, storm surges, and floods--will be less accurate and timely. A number of decisions are needed to ensure contingency and continuity plans can be implemented effectively.
In the past 2 years notable progress has been made in the vast majority of areas that remain on GAO's High Risk List. This progress is due to the combined efforts of the Congress through oversight and legislation, the Office of Management and Budget through its leadership and coordination, and the agencies through their efforts to take corrective actions to address longstanding problems and implement related GAO recommendations.
Why GAO Did This Study
The federal government is the world's largest and most complex entity, with about $3.5 trillion in outlays in fiscal year 2012 funding a broad array of programs and operations. GAO maintains a program to focus attention on government operations that it identifies as high risk due to their greater vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement or the need for transformation to address economy, efficiency, or effectiveness challenges. Since 1990, more than one-third of the areas previously designated as high risk have been removed from the list because sufficient progress was made to address the problems identified.
This biennial update describes the status of high-risk areas listed in 2011 and identifies any new high-risk area needing attention by Congress and the executive branch. Solutions to high-risk problems offer the potential to save billions of dollars, improve service to the public, and strengthen the performance and accountability of the U.S. government.
What GAO Recommends
This report contains GAOs views on progress made and what remains to be done to bring about lasting solutions for each high-risk area. Perseverance by the executive branch in implementing GAOs recommended solutions and continued oversight and action by Congress are essential to achieving progress. GAO is dedicated to continue working with Congress and the executive branch to help ensure additional progress is made.

Welcome to Facebook Statistics Central! Here are a bunch of amazing Facebook statistics that illustrate just how vast their digital empire is. Updated for August 2015.
Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over a billion monthly active users. With a platform as feature-rich and widely-used as Facebook's there are countless stats that can be tracked. I try to identify the most interesting ones I find and add them to the following list when I do. I hope you find some of these tallies as interesting and amazing as I do.
Update: I have added a bunch of new Facebook statistics, and also broke this post out into four posts. The original post for all Facebook stats was getting a bit cumbersome and tough to navigate as it eclipsed 300 stats. Hopefully, this new format will help you find the stat you are looking for much quicker. Here is a quick rundown of the various Facebook statistic pages:
- Facebook Mobile and App Stats
- Facebook Advertising Stats
- Facebook Brand/Business Page Stats
- Facebook Messenger Stats
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these Facebook statistics come from the company's own financial filings, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don't guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.

Chicago's Urban Prep Academy achieves 100 percent college acceptance for 5th consecutive yearApril 14, 2014 // 0 Comments
Chicago's Urban Prep Academy is celebrating yet another year of extraordinary success.
For the fifth year in a row, all 240 seniors at the all-African-American-male high school have earned acceptance letters into a four-year college or university.
On Tuesday, the young men of the Class of 2014 celebrated their momentous occasion during a traditional ceremony where they exchanged their red uniform ties for a red-and-gold striped tie – a tradition done in observance of their achievement.
"The tie represents to me moving on from a boy to becoming a young man and actually doing something with my life," graduating senior Dumar Harris told NBC Chicago.

Pepsi iTunes promo: Analyst says Apple will sell "5-10 million songs per week by summer"
"Pepsi this week shipped 300 million specially marked 20-ounce bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Sierra Mist to convenience stores and other retailers. Consumers who find a numerical code for a free download in the bottle caps can type it into the iTunes program for a free download. [...]
Analysts expect Apple will reap huge rewards from the contest. Analyst Charles Wolf of Wall Street research firm Needham & Co. estimates the firm is selling 2 million songs per week. ''This campaign will get them to 5-10 million per week by summer, or 200 million songs for the year,'' he says."

Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 29, 2004 at 1:08 PM (CST)
200 million songs a year? 5-10 millions songs a week?!
"Analysts expect Apple will reap huge rewards from the contest…"
Huge rewards = 5-10 million .99 cent songs a week. That's about 5-10 million dollars a week! I don't know how much of a cut Apple makes per song at iTunes but Apple and someone else will be making A LOT of money this year.
...note to self, think about investing in Apple this year. :P
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 29, 2004 at 1:25 PM (CST)
If I remember reading correctly, Apple makes very little money from iTunes. However, because of iTunes iPod sales have gone way up which is the big money maker for them.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 29, 2004 at 1:58 PM (CST)
iTunes Music Store is not the reason for the huge increase in sales of iPods. The real reason for the jump is sales to Windows users. While iPods for windows might have been available for a while, it wasn't until recently that consumer awareness really reached a critical mass.
iTMS is really an enhancement for the iPod. As in, buy the iPod and you not only have the best player, but you have the best online music service available, too. I highly doubt a significant number of people buy the iPod over other players because of iTMS.
Quite frankly, the model still doesn't make much sense to me in the long run. I know a lot of people who own iPods, but nobody who's downloaded any more than a handful (like 5 or 6) of songs from iTMS. Think about the economics of it…. the 40gb iPod holds 10,000 songs. Do you really expect anyone to pay anywhere near $10,000 for a music collection? Unless you already have a big CD collection, that's what Apple and the labels are expecting you to do.
There is no doubt in my mind that the vast majority of iPod users are filling their players with illegal downloads. And quite frankly, I think it will be this way for some time. Backwards compatibility forces hardware makers to support non-DRM files. And as long as there are players that will play them, people will continue to download them.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 29, 2004 at 3:32 PM (CST)
Analysts, analysts, analysts…. bah.
Are these the same guys who said there would be a 2GB mini iPod for $100?

You think people in countries where iTunes is not yet available (Canada…) will be able to use this or is this just for the US? I buy alot fo pepsi, so i want to get me some free(ish) songs :)
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 29, 2004 at 10:52 PM (CST)
adam, i think apple makes 9 cents off every purchase because i read that they have to pay 90 cents to whichever company that owns the song

E.J. Hradek Game Picks Wednesday October 9th:
Chicago Blackhawks vs St. Louis Blues - Blues
Montreal Canadiens vs Calgary Flames - Canadiens
Ottawa Senators vs Los Angeles Kings - Kings
E.J.'s Season Record: 25-5-0
E.J. Hradek Game Picks Wednesday October 9th:
Chicago Blackhawks vs St. Louis Blues - Blues
Montreal Canadiens vs Calgary Flames - Canadiens
Ottawa Senators vs Los Angeles Kings - Kings
E.J.'s Season Record: 25-5-0
ST. LOUIS -- The availability of Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp is status quo: The veteran left wing is still in a holding pattern.
Sharp, whose wife Abby is due to give birth of the couple's second daughter soon, was awaiting word from the Blackhawks' public-relations staff. But as of early Wednesday afternoon, there was no indication whether Sharp would have to fly back to Chicago or not.
Sharp has indicated that if he had to miss a game, he would. Skipping the game Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN) was a possibility, but Sharp is with the team and skated in the morning.
CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames will stick with the same lineup used in the team's 5-4 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday when they host the Montreal Canadiens at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS).
Joey MacDonald will get his third straight start in net for the Flames. In two games this season, the 33-year-old is 1-0-1 with a 3.93 goals-against average and .867 save percentage this season.
Carey Price also is expected to make his third straight start. In two games this season he is 1-1-0 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .918 save percentage.
It's Wednesday Night Rivalry on NBCSN as the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues square off for the 287th time. We'll have that game and much more covered on NHL Live, at 5 p.m. ET on NHL Network. Pierre McGuire, who will be "Inside the Glass" for the Central Division rivalry game, will stop by the show.
Also, we'll be joined by Eddie Olczyk for a preview from St. Louis as the Blues look for their first 3-0 start since 1993. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks have won five of their last seven against the Blues and will try to improve to 2-0-1 overall on the young season. It's a classic rivalry and should be an incredibly physical game as usual. These competitors will play four more times this season, including next Thursday in Chicago.
Remember to submit your #AskEJ questions through Twitter via @NHLNetwork or @EJHradek_NHL, and join the conversation on Twitter as we ask you to pick the game of the night.
CALGARY -- Ben Street will be the first to admit he isn't the likeliest of first-line candidates, but the forward is relishing in his opportunity to be just that with the Calgary Flames.
Street is expected to center Curtis Glencross and David Jones for a second straight game when the Flames host the Montreal Canadiens at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS).
"In my wildest dreams you kind of imagine it," Street said. "If you had told me that in the third game of the year I was in that position I would've taken it, but I wouldn't have believed you. I'll take it. I keep trying to get better and make sure I don't relinquish that spot."
If you're a fantasy owner who witnessed Tomas Hertl's four-goal masterpiece for the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, chances are you scurried to the waiver wire to check his availability.
But with Hertl now owned in over 50 percent of Yahoo! Fantasy leagues, your late bid for this single-game impact player was likely unsuccesful. Luckily, there's another readily-available player on a high-caliber line who can pay both immediate and long-term dividends.
Jussi Jokinen, owned in only 28 percent of leagues, notched his second hat trick in just over two weeks. The first came in a preseason game on Sept. 21, so this was the first to count in fantasy leagues.
This week's Wednesday Night Rivalry doesn't just feature a classic matchup straight out of the old Norris Division. It also features two of the best teams in the NHL as the Chicago Blackhawks visit the St. Louis Blues (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN).
Both these teams are off to good starts, but I'm especially curious about St. Louis. The Blues do a lot of things well to be a successful team in the League. The question is how close is this team to taking the next step? I believe the Blues are much closer, but where are they now in relation to the Los Angeles Kings or the Blackhawks? We just might find out Wednesday.
A major key will be the play of goaltender Jaroslav Halak, who I expect will have a nice bounce-back year. He spent a lot of time in St. Louis working with their trainer trying to rehabilitate his injuries and get into better shape. Hopefully that will serve him well.
At 2:48 of the third period in the Panthers/Flyers game, Jay Rosehill was assessed two separate minor penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct. According to Rule 19, Example 7, the Flyers had the choice to play one player short-handed for four minutes or two players short for two minutes. The Flyers chose to play one player short for four minutes.
"Team A Captain's choice to play one player short-handed for four minutes or two players short-handed for two minutes. Should he choose the latter, an additional team A player must be placed on the penalty bench to serve the minor penalty for A3".
At 5:21 of the third period in the Lightning/Sabres game, the end-zone referee had a Buffalo penalty on delay. The referee did not see Sabres forward Steve Ott touch the puck, which then rebounded to Jamie McBain whose shot entered the net simultaneous with the referee blowing his whistle. The net result was the correct call - no goal, penalty to Buffalo.
At 2:30 of the third period in the Avalanche/Maple Leafs game, video review supported the referee's call on the ice that Jamie McGinn's shot deflected off P.A. Parenteau and entered the net in a legal fashion. According to Rule 78.4 "if an attacking player has the puck deflect into the net, off his skate or body, in any manner, the goal shall be allowed." Good goal Colorado.

You could feel it. You could feel that they were going after each other and trying to win the game for their team.

"Bob" is back.
The man who says he knows the true identity of the Oakland County Child Killer -- believed to have murdered four children in 1976-77 -- is announcing his fourth news conference since May today.
It's unlikely Bob will be there since he hasn't shown up at past news conferences, although he once spoke to reporters via speaker phone. He refuses to reveal his real name or any other details.
The secretive man has been calling reporters and law enforcement officials for years to say -- without providing evidence -- that the children killed by the Oakland County Child Killer were victims of wiccans, cult activity, a killer motivated by the lunar calendar or perhaps a Shakespearean poem.
At today's news conference, Detroit attorney Paul Hughes, who works closely with Bob, is expected to announce that Bob believes the deaths of the children can be linked to other deaths in and out of Michigan.
Hughes promised to send, via e-mail to Detroit news media outlets, a list of sites so they can "make arrangements with their affiliates and schedule support staff to obtain photographs and video footage" for their upcoming stories on Bob's latest revelations.
The Free Press is not invited to today's event. Hughes told the Free Press by e-mail last week that "we are working with news sources of our choice."Hughes represents Deborah Jarvis, whose daughter Kristine Mihelich, 10, was killed in 1977. Hughes filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Jarvis in April, alleging a massive 36-year conspiracy among the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, Oakland County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police to cover up the identity of the killer.
Jarvis, who has attended Hughes' press conferences in the past, hired him after Bob began calling her to say he had crucial information that could lead to her daughter's killer. She has said she has spoken to Bob hundreds of times, but doesn't know who he is. She hired Hughes on Bob's recommendation.
Jarvis confirmed she has exhausted her life savings and maxed out her credit cards to pay for Hughes' representation. She declined to discuss the amount she paid or to comment further when contacted last week.
Hughes also previously said he didn't know Bob's identity. He would not answer specific questions sent by the Free Press via e-mail last week, including how much Jarvis has paid him or whether Bob had received any of Jarvis' money.
"Ms. Jarvis and I have acknowledged from the beginning that she has used some of her funds to pay for costs of the lawsuit. There is nothing illegal or unethical about that, and I am sure you know that," Hughes wrote. "Beyond that, I take offense with regard to your remarks of 'finder's fees' which are clearly illegal and would not be conduct I would take part in."
Bob, who portrays himself as connected with high-ranking law enforcement, contacted the Free Press in August. He said the current police task force investigating the killings cannot be trusted, and the investigation should be turned over to the U.S. Justice Department.
Hughes' lawsuit seeks $100 million and relies heavily on Bob's claims, including a sworn declaration. Signed simply "Bob," it details the alleged conspiracy and is attached as a court record.
The suit names Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, some of their staff, and several State Police investigators. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood.
Oakland County attorneys have put Hughes on notice -- through court filings -- that they intend to seek sanctions and court costs, should the judge find the suit frivolous. Hood is expected to issue a ruling within weeks.
Cooper, the target of criticism in many of Bob's news releases sent via Hughes, said she doesn't believe Bob is credible.
"Really, our concern is that he does not appear to be stable," she said.
Prominent attorneys who practice in federal court said using an anonymous person for a sworn statement is unheard of. They predicted the suit would fail.
"That's so whack-a-doodle that nobody who practices law in the circles I do would ever try that," said Deborah Gordon, a Bloomfield Hills attorney who has successfully sued several governmental agencies in federal court. "It's a joke."
Attorney Robert Harrison, who practices in federal court, said he has never heard of such a thing.
"It certainly is inadequate to establish a standard for a good-faith argument that the action is legitimate," he said, "because without the declarant's identity disclosed, there is no way anybody could challenge the accuracy of the statement."

Patients should be informed of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions including hives, generalized urticaria, tightness of the chest, dyspnea, wheezing, faintness, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. Patients should be advised to discontinue use of the product and contact their physician and/or seek immediate emergency care, depending on the severity of the reaction, if these symptoms occur.
As with all plasma-derived products, some viruses, such as parvovirus B19, are particularly difficult to remove or inactivate at this time. Parvovirus B19 may most seriously affect pregnant women and immune-compromised individuals. Symptoms of parvovirus B19 include fever, drowsiness, chills, and runny nose followed two weeks later by a rash and joint pain. Patients should be encouraged to consult their physician if such symptoms occur.

"The card caught my eye for its vintage look and design, but when I saw it was available in lilac, I was sold. The card is beautiful, with a good quality, textured paper stock. Everyone I showed the sample to just loved it. The ordering process was very easy and I really liked the customization and proofing...both so easy."
"It was a perfect mini version of our invitation except the color of the background was a bit off. I absolutely loved our invitations but the response cards just didnt seem as perfect. The background had a blue hue to it instead of gray like our invitations."
"Response card and invitations were done on excellent quality paper. Design was exactly as I expected and the font was clear making them easy to read. Envelope quality excellent as well. I am now a diehard fan of Wedding Paper Divas!"
"These are lovely. Designers worked very intuitively with my requests. To my surprise, virtually no back-and-forth was needed with designer to get the changes I wanted made."
"These cards turned out perfectly. Instead of the traditional "M" we substituted "name(s)" and instead of the dinner options we added a line for total guest count. We also added our website information at the bottom of the card. We love the deep plum color we chose. These cards (and the related invitation) are so classy while fun and modern at the same time!"

Commissioners with the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District have suspended their search for a new executive director.
None of the 20 people that applied for the job in April will be selected, Board President Randy Olson said today. The names of the applicants were not made public. The board had originally hoped to name its new top executive by Wednesday.
"There were some qualified candidates, but we didn't feel they were a good mix with our organization," Olson said. "There were some other candidates who indicated they may be interested in the position, but they weren't going to be available until this fall."
Forest preserve staff was informed that each director would be responsible for their individual department and the board would act as a quasi-executive director, Olson said.
"If they have something out of the normal that they can't address, they'll take it to me and I'll take it to the board as soon as possible," Olson said.
The new hire was meant to fill the role of Tom Kalousek, who retired Oct. 14. Kalousek has worked more than 40 years in parks and preserves and had been the district's executive director since 1999.
Kalousek has stayed with the district as a part-time executive director since his retirement. Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund rules allow for part-time work within the same organization so long as it's less than 600 hours total. Kalousek is close to reaching that limit. He says he's worked about 530 hours so far, but plans to continue helping the district on a volunteer basis by running board meetings, answering questions and giving advice when necessary.
"The staff is very capable," Kalousek said. "We're in the season now where the budgeting and all the planning has been done. Now it's day-to-day and routine."
The district may start a new hiring process in the fall.
The district's consultant in the process, Pam Clark Reidenbach, director of the Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence, suggested hiring an interim director who could "make all the hard changes that we're looking at first," Olson said.
"Once we get all of that done, we could hire a permanent director," Olson said. "That's one thing that we'll be reviewing over the next couple months while we're on hold right now."

Barnes No. 13, Serial No. Location?
I inherited my grandfather's Barnes No. 13 lathe a few years ago and I'm interested in dating it. I've been looking for a serial no. but, can't seem to locate it. Maybe covered in grime? If you can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. When I was 8 yrs. old I turned my first piece on this lathe, nothing fancy, just a simple cylindrical part with a 1/2 in bore in one end. I think this lathe is from the early 1900's and it looks like it has the peddle legs but, it's had an electric motor conversion as far back as I can recall. I'd post some pics but, haven't figured out how to attach them yet.

As for posting pictures, you have to go back and edit the post or make another post as pictures can't be added in the first post on a thread unless edited.
As for serial numbers, I don't recall W.F. & John Barnes using serial numbers on their metal working machines. They did use a lot number to reassemble the various parts after fitting and painting.
The #13 was introduced in 1901 when the #6 was discontinued, according to Barnes catalogs.
My Barnes 13 inch lathe has a S/N stamped into the front face of the headstock. It's hard to see, but here's a picture of it. S/N No. 226.

My Barnes No.5 1/2 also has the S/N on the front of the headstock(No.150).
Saved the day
Well today wasn't a complete loss.
My #13 has the No 2231 if my memory is correct.
However one of my #5-1/2's doesn't appear to have a number, wire brushed that area and nothing appeared. And can't reach the other #5-1/2 at present.

Thanks for the info.
I've looked at the headstock and can't see the number but, I'll have to wait until I can get to cleaning the surface. Right now I've got a number of items stored in front of it. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully I was successful in attaching one picture of it. If not, you can go to the albums and see a number of pics I uploaded last night.

Benjamin Franklin Barnes was a brother to WF & John. He was a super at the original company for 25 years and then started his own company.
He used a somewhat different design on the left leg related to where/how the flywheel was located. That leg had two parts and the flywheel was in the middle. Very different.
Never seen one by BF in the wild.
Hope this helps.
Just love the stuff!
Thanks Ed
Better gather all the pieces ......
Hello Joe,
You better gather all the pieces, and assemble for measurement for reproduction. I have gleaned a few pictures of B.F. Barnes lathes but as Ed said "never seen one in the wild". You may luck up and find a commercially available worm gear the needs some modifying from places like Martin Gear, Boston Gear or Browning gear. However you need to know what gear you have and need. It is difficult to find a counter person who is knowledgeable and willing to search for this information.

Thanks guys I dont know why I bought it. I dont know how to use a lathe. I found out how to brake one. I learn one thing the belt dont need to be very tight. If the belt slips so thing wrong.
