I just started tweeting, and FWIW, it has increased traffic to my blogs and I'm sure it'll do the same for you. I'm just sending my links our whenever I post something, three or four times a day. I agree that it's hard to do anything meaningful in that short space other than attract people to something bigger. You can follow me on Twitter HERE.
Steve, why are you awake at 5 am?

I agree that RSS is better than Twitter for posting links to long articles, but you can instead cultivate the habit of posting just your shorter insights to Twitter, and subscribing to others who are good at this. (Eg see my faves: @robotwisdom)
There's a lot more people who can be funny in 140 than insightful, though. - 5/20/11, 6:12 AM
Can't you just twit pithy little thought bubbles you have so we can steal them?
Thank you for the invitation.
I don't really get the point of Twitter, either. To me, it seems either adolescent or senescent, since the young and the old are the two age groups most preoccupied with the minutiae of their lives and tiresomely sure everyone else is just as avidly interested in them, too. Unfortunately, thanks to liberalism, we are all adolescents now.
I already follow you on your blog, faithfully, if not religiously. Frankly, the idea of following a grown man twittering or of me following his tweets unnerves me.
Of course, for you and other bloggers, it's different. Trying to attract traffic to read your thoughts on HBD is not the same as informing everyone of how much you hate your mother's Frito pie or how proud you were of your grandkid's performance in the school play. - 5/20/11, 7:27 AM

I don't really get Twitter either. What's the point? Once in a blue moon I find I can share a short joke or thought or observation. But beyond that, the only thing I use it for is as a way to encounter fun links I wouldn't run into otherwise. Good to see you on Twitter, though. Maybe it'll draw in some fresh readers.

Twitter: Welcome to "Short Attention Span Theater"!
How do people typically receive twitters?
Via text messages on their cell phones? [Or via email? Or both?]
Because it seems to me that if you subscribed to much more than 2 or 3 twitterers, then they could drive you absolutely bonkers.
Can you imagine if your cell phone were beeping every minute or two because someone had just twittered?
Or can you imagine putting your cell phone down for an hour or two, and then coming back to see that you had received 500 or 1000 new text messages while you were gone?
I just don't get it - do people really live like that?!?

I have yet to understand the appeal of following blogs via Twitter. My working hypothesis is that people who do this don't know about RSS or think that it's complicated. But is Google Reader actually any harder to use than the terrible, terrible Twitter interface?
Almost all the feeds I follow are either full text or have at least 150-word excerpts so I can tell whether something is worth reading. I've never been able to follow the title-only feeds on RSS; I just lose interest.
When I follow someone's link to an interesting blog post and I get to the end and read "If you liked this, follow me on Twitter!", it actually puts me off. I must have mistaken you for someone who uses complete sentences! It would be like hearing a nice song on the radio followed by an announcement, "If you liked that song, you can listen to our armpit farts over the telephone!" - 5/20/11, 9:51 AM
I have to agree with you on Twitter, Steve. Sounds more like a gossip network like the older chat-networks. Blogs are so much more pleasant.

Great stuff Steve. Welcome aboard. It will make it easier to "re-tweet" (RT) your work to my followers now.
One other note: Please pick an appropriate avatar. Perhaps a photo of the '98 Accord would be sufficient reminder to your followers that donations are always appreciated. (Plus, I have set up a peri-mutuel pool on what color it is. Leading the way is Brown at 5-2.) - 5/20/11, 10:48 AM

Heh, I wonder if Sailer's follow count will be relatively low because people won't want to publicly acknowledge that they follow a controversial thinker.
The advantage of twitter is you can get the headlines from, say, a 100 or 1000 sources in a convenient and efficient way, and then pick the ones you wanna read. Otherwise, you'll have to go to each different news site and blog to see what's up.
For example, if you're twittered onto Sailer, you can check your twitter page or cellphone and see if he--and many others posted--something you might want to read. You don't have to go to his blog(and a bunch of other sites)to check it out.
For example, if I'm twittered onto Sailer, Yglesias, BBC News, NY Times, TNR, National Geo, etc, etc, all I have to do is check my twitter-messages to see who posted something that might interest me.
Also, if you're twittered, you get alerts when new stuff has been posted. You don't have to go to different sites to see if new stuff has been posted. - 5/20/11, 11:40 AM
But personally, twitter isn't for me cuz when I'm away from my computer, I wanna be left alone in peace and not be beep beeped all the time. I'm old school. When I go nature-traveling, the rule is no tech gear.

You can always add Sailer to a private Twitter list. - 5/20/11, 12:32 PM

I have already followed some early iSteve followers. Sure sign highly intelligent things will spew from their feeds.
OTOH, if I were a prominent Steve-content thief I could disavow the connection by simply saying I was monitoring his tweets for the hate that surely would be forthcoming.
Nice to see @ColbyCosh already on board. I am a fan. - 5/20/11, 2:25 PM
You need to link your blog up automatically to Twitter - so that when you blog, a little Tweet goes out with the first few words of the title/blog post and a (shortened) link to the full blog post.
This way you are automatically tweeting whenever you write a blog - and never have to actually write a tweet, if you don't want to! :-)
Loads of quick free services will set this up for you - as long as your blog has an RSS feed. - 5/20/11, 3:30 PM
I'd like to what you've read and liked, but what you're not writing about...perfect for twitter, a link and a couple of words
LA times article on the origin of the 160 character limit (twitter reserves 20 characters for names, leaving you with only 140)
like tim berners-lee, this german guy gets nothing for developing something used by more than a billion people every day. there are no nobel prizes or royalties for most daily use tech, but it's all critical stuff just the same. not even sure how royalties would work for those guys. one cent royalty per use? they would be the first hundred billionaires.
we did use to hypothesize that charging one cent per address per email, to send an email, would shut down spam permanently, without doing much harm to the convenience of properly using email. you could still send 15 emails a day for 15 cents, but a spammer can't send 1 million emails per day for $10000 per day, every single day. that ruins their business model. - 5/20/11, 10:02 PM
Jeff, In Australia, no one knows that Steve is supposed to be a racist RWDB.. I just innocently refer to him as a bloke called Steve who reviews books, moves and blogs about 'stuff'' hee hee. Don't get too famous Steve then all my Labour ( that's Democrats for you Yanks) mates will stop listening when I drop Stevisms into the conversation. Mt Isa Miner

Twitter is primarily designed to match the needs of a cellphone/phone-like gadget crazed gen Y and Millenial which, between growing up under the ever-faster paced tv programming, internet, and ever smaller cell phone, has an attention span of only a couple of sentences. I would assume it has more appeal for teen girls than other demographics since they are more into the mindless details of each other.
For those who might not know:
You can follow anybody on Twitter using RSS. For instance, try pasting https://twitter.com/steve_sailer to Google Reader. You can read all Tweets in Google Reader. - 5/22/11, 10:58 AM

Routt County commissioners have figured out a way to build a new court facility without asking for a tax increase. But while the commissioners deserve credit for financial creativity, the new plan raises concerns about long-term costs and the impact those costs will have on county operations.
Last week, commissioners voted unanimously to pay for the new justice center by dipping into the county's reserve funds for some $7 million and using certificates of participation to fund the remainder, about $5 million.
The plan has a distinct advantage over previous ones -- it does not require voter approval. That's significant considering that in November 2002, voters rejected a tax increase for a new court facility. That plan called for a $17 million judicial center downtown with a parking garage. Besides the tax increase, voters opposed the cost of the project, the location and the garage.
Even by resolving those issues, the justice center is tough to sell to voters. Given the cramped and outdated conditions in the existing courthouse, there is no disputing the need for a new facility and meeting that need is a function of county government. But how do you get voters excited about paying for a facility most believe they will use rarely if at all? As Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak notes, the justice center "is a ballot with no constituency."
Still, with a new location and reduced cost, the county's chances of winning over voters would have been better. And it is not uncommon for voters to support revamped bond issues that failed on the first try.
But under the certificates of participation plan the county can meet Judge Richard Doucette's mandate to build a new facility by Sept. 30, 2006, without a tax increase, a costly election campaign or risk of voter rejection.
It's important to note that this plan will cost the county more in the long-run than it would to issue and repay bonds approved by taxpayers. Certificates of participation are guaranteed by existing tax revenues. Essentially, the county would be leasing the new court facility. So long as the county makes its payments, it can use the new facility. At the end of the lease, the county will pay a buyout to own the facility.
Because the certificates are not backed by a dedicated tax source, financing costs are higher than bonds. Commissioners estimate it will cost about $8,650 more each year for 20 years to finance the judicial facility this way.
Commissioner Doug Monger estimates it will cost the county more than $500,000 per year to repay the certificates of participation and pay for the additional costs of operating the new facility. Because there is no tax dedicated to paying that debt, that money must come from the county's general fund or reserve balance. While residents aren't being asked for a tax increase, the plan will have an impact on existing operations and services.
Routt County needs a new court facility and we applaud commissioners for exploring different options to make that happen. Perhaps this is the only way commissioners thought they could ensure the project will be done.
But this method is no victory for taxpayers. Ultimately, it will cost them more. The truth is the plan isn't designed to benefit taxpayers. Rather, it's simply a way to remove them from the decision.

Retail cash flows for high-yield funds reverted to positive with a $632 million cash inflow for the week ended Sept. 11, marking the largest positive reading in seven weeks, according to Lipper, a division of . Essentially half of the inflow was tied to exchange-traded funds, which reported a $305 million infusion during the week, for 48% of the total inflow.
The strong inflow wipes out last week's $416 million outflow and lessens the trailing four-week reading to negative $516 million per week, from negative $771 million per week last week. It is the fourth flip-flop reading in the weekly report, with dominating the direction of flows.
The year-to-date figure is now an outflow of $7 billion, versus an inflow of $23.2 billion in the year-ago period. The current year-to-date reading is 25% tied to ETFs, while 37% was tied to ETFs at this point a year ago.
Net assets of the weekly reporter sample totaled $160.2 billion at the end of the observation period, with ETFs representing roughly 19% of the total, at $30.9 billion. Net assets are down $1.8 billion in the year to date, or roughly 1% lower.
The change due to market conditions was positive $212 million over the observation period, or essentially immeasurable against size of assets. The change due to market conditions in the year to date is positive $6.4 billion, according to Lipper. – Matt Fuller

Cayin vs. SE34.1
07/25/10 at 01:09:55
Due to a recent sale, I have good memory of the differences between the amp I sold(Cayin A70T), and the SE34.1 Decware amp I bought on Audiogon(of course, just as soon as I bought this amp. a Tori came for sale with about the same price!).Now, I'll tell you that I have owned Decware equipment before, i.e. a pair of SV83S mono blocks, and CSP2 preamp. But because it became neccesary to make things easier for my wife to use, I opted for the Cayin. I was almost immediatly disappointed because the Decware was heads and shoulders better than the Cayin. Detail was so much clearer, and dynamics were right. I kept the Cayin for about 18 months, and preferred to run it in 'ultralinear' mode most of the time.
For what it's worth, I found out that despite that the A70T had a rectifier tube mounted right up front, it was rectified by a diode bridge! Yah, you could pull the tube, and the amp kept runnin'. I felt a little cheated, and found no answer for that deception
Then another thing happened. The amp just stopped working....no reason, so , I found that there was a bad power connection in the iec connector.
As far as the sound, it was always on my mind how much better the Decware products sounded. The A70t did have good control of the bass though
I will leave you with this. I am going to perform the Hazen mod on this amp., and I have already replaced all Beldon cable with upgraded wire. The amp already beats the pants off the Cayin in every sense but raw power, so I can't wait to see what more it can do when the mods are completed. Will know that by the end of next week.
cheers, Greg

The Integrated is a wonderful amp. I'm glad you have this! The mod will probably be a great change. My Integrated doesn't have it.
You know I'm glad you posted your impressions about the Cayin. On the Steve Hoffman board I keep seeing people glowing and oohing over the Cayin, the Jolida, all kinds of Chinese amps, and rather medium price solid state, etc. When I suggest Decware I feel they roll their eyes and turn away. But I've not heard any amps that deliver the way that Decware does. But a Marantz or a NAD or a Jolida etc. get all kinds of praise and talk. . . and I think to myself "if only these people could hear the real deal."

So true Lon, and yet, you have to admit that some of the amps. like the Cayin look
rich, sophisticated.[i][i]get one today...
but the reality for me is honesty,and clarity/openess. The Decware is an easy choice for me to stick with.

Yes, a lot of folks buy with their eyes, and insist on paying as much or more for far inferior sound.
I agree that auditioning a Decware amp &c. would be mind altering for the above.

As long as it makes noise and my neighbor down the street reads Audio Magazines and he recommended it! The bass just rocks man!

Daniel Cziczo
Associate Professor of Atmospheric ChemistryIt has been known for over a century that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane warm the planet by trapping heat. What is not as well known is that particles can cool the planet by reflecting sunlight into space and by acting as the seeds on which clouds form. Particles and clouds are also of contemporary interest because it has been suggested they might affect climate by interacting with cosmic rays or be used to manipulate the Earth's temperature.
Cziczo's research group is interested in the interrelationship of particulate matter and cloud formation. His team utilizes laboratory and field studies to elucidate how small particles interact with water vapor to form droplets and ice crystals, which are important players in the Earth's climate system. Experiments include using small cloud chambers in the laboratory to mimic atmospheric conditions that lead to cloud formation and observing clouds in situ from remote mountaintop sites or through the use of research aircraft.
Current specific research interests include chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols with an emphasis on their effect on cloud formation mechanisms, Earth's radiative budget, and meteoritic debris and launch vehicle emissions in the atmosphere.

You'll have to take a difficult first step and look inside yourself to discover where and why you feel vulnerable.
It is an area of practice that includes the use of personal development methods, tools and techniques
In the present complex scenario, we do not find time for ourselves to analyze the various reasons that lead us to failures
When your mind is free from evil thoughts, bad feelings and aggression, you acquire an immense strength to excel in each and every stepping stone of your life. Both mental and physical well-being is the key to healthy living. By accumulating confidence and stability through prayer therapy, you can help yourself to grow in a better way. Strength and talent are the two prime aspects to get successful but due to lack of confidence, people fail to express it positively. Prayers are the most powerful ways to gain concentration and prove to be an effective way for both physical and mental healing. This gives you the strength to follow your passion and achieve success. Building self-confidence helps the people to excel in every aspect starting from relationship to financial issues. In today's hectic schedule, finding ways to feel happy is the most difficult task. Prayer therapy is the only way to feel the happiness as well as gain confidence. It helps to calm yourself and give your best in most of the situations.
Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you excel, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized. Express yourself, whether it's through art, music, writing, etc. Find something you enjoy. Everyone is born with talents and strengths.
You can develop and excel in yours. If it's difficult to name two or three things you have some ability in or just plain love to do, think about things others do that you would like to do too and take some lessons or join an enthusiasts club. When you're following your passion, not only will it have a therapeutic effect, but you'll feel unique and accomplished, all of which can help build your self confidence. Plus, adding a variety of interests to your life will not only make you more confident, but it will increase your chances of meeting compatible friends!

DeskAlerts Corporate Messaging Tool Encourages Clients To Get Blogging
The corporate messaging tool DeskAlerts has embarked on a new campaign to get its client blogging. The web-based application has published a brand new infographic aimed to encouraging its clients to embrace the blog as a means of better engaging employees and increasing company website visitors.
The infographic, entitled 'Three Reasons Your Business Should be Blogging' outlines the commercial advantages of blogging for those new to the internet marketing activity. The new infographic comes hot on the heels of this week's earlier announcement that the DeskAlerts development team had added brand new WordPress functionality to the corporate messaging system. The new feature gives DeskAlerts users an easy way to post to WordPress from the central DeskAlerts control area.
DeskAlerts' 'Three Reasons Your Business Should be Blogging' is packed with stats designed to encourage clients that haven't yet taken the plunge and started a blog to do so. It includes facts such as 40% of US companies use blogs for marketing purposes and that companies who do use blogs get 55% more website visitors on average. Other notable statements include the figure that company's using blogs are thought to generate around 88% more leads than those that don't blog.
With the new DeskAlerts blogging tool, clients can quickly and easily post updates to their blog, giving an effective way to distribute key corporate messages to the most popular blog platforms. Anton Vdovin, Project Manager at DeskAlerts, said, "Blogging is critical to web success and now with our new blogging tool, it is easy for our clients to keep their finger on the pulse and their websites updated."
Web-based, DeskAlerts offers a streamlines, concise and effective employee communication system which elevates important messages above email noise. Communiqués are displayed on pop up or scrolling windows of the employee desktop with all delivery traceable through a detailed reporting system. DeskAlerts allows employers to deliver text, graphics, video, flash and documents prominently to employees across technologically and geographically diverse networks.
About DeskAlerts: DeskAlerts is the only alert solution that works in technologically and geographically diverse networks. It is a completely web-based solution that can be used to send desktop alerts and news updates to any employee within your organization, improving communications and productivity with a more efficient communication strategy than traditional email alone.

Beaterk5's sas project
Well I just picked this up. It's a 96 Tahoe it has air bags on all 4 corners. The entire susp needs re worked so I'm going to throw it up on some leafs for now. later down the road if I keep it maybe a link'd susp front and rear.
Right now what's planed is ord spring hanger kit and 8" springs up front. Out back I'm thinking a shackle flip with an add a leaf and a 4" block. After the susp and steering are done ill move on to putting a motor in it. Luckily the p.o didn't cut any wires when he pulled it so I can drop in another Vortec motor and run the 4l60e trans and push button t-case. For gears I'm planing 456's with 6 lug outers on a 44 and a sf 14 bolt rear, with a 37-39" tire. What'cha all think? And some pics Last edited by beaterk5; October 31st, 2012 at 06:19 PM. |

Sounds like what my 94 has. a 3" body and 35's. and thanks on the gun ive wanted it for a bit of time now.
also have some bad news on the Tahoe.Its frames out by about 1-1/2" so it's getting parted out.so time to tear apart a perfectly good truck that just needs a rear end 97 Chevy z71 Vortec 350, true duals with flows, hypertech, k&n filter, trick flow t.b. spacer. hopefully by spring ill have a 6 lug sas with a 77 ford 44 and factory 10 bolt may try and find a sf 14 for it but that can always be changed later. Already have the front axle a set of 6 lug outers, ord shackle flip and 6.5" super shackle are on there way. going to also put in a 4" block and ord 0 rate add a leaf to net 10" of lift rear. Front is yet to come but going to be ord sas kit, 8" 73-87 front spring. Along with the ord cross over steering set up an a ried racing/ dedinbear flat top knuckle. After that all that will be left will be to figure out shock length and mounting, and figure out length for a set of 81-87 ext brake lines. since I will be using calipers from that year truck should be a blot on and go there. Hopeing to be out of this for under 3000 including truck purchase price. Minus wheels tires and gears i feel it should be very do-able. The truck |

Intel Ships SSD 330 Line: Starts At Just $89 for 60GB
The new 330 line is a SATA 6Gbps-based SSD family that'll ship in 60GB, 120GB and 180GB sizes. The real kicker? That starting price of just $89. Yes, $89! Intel is using 25nm process technology here, and says that it can provide up to 500 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) sequential read speeds and up to 450MB/s sequential write speeds for faster data transfers. Random read performance can go up to 22,500 Input-Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and 33,000 write IOPS.
The Intel SSD 330 Series comes in a standard 2.5-inch/9.5mm form factor, and is shipping today at the suggested channel price of $89 for a 60GB drive, $149 for a 120GB drive and $234 for a 180GB drive. So, impulse buy, or wait?

Swing Votes
Before the presidential campaign devolved into a Sarah Palin literacy course, there was this idea, promoted by McCain's handlers and stolen in fact from Hillary Clinton's campaign, that we were to choose between experience and change. Eighty-two-year-old drummer Roy Haynes exposed that false choice musically on Wednesday, laying down an authoritative, old-school rhythm and then changing it up thrice to start the Jazz for Obama benefit at the 92nd Street Y. His beats set up a blistering take on McCoy Tyner's "Passion Dance," during which trumpeter Roy Hargrove established, through deeply considered and physically demanding solos, his willingness to work for his candidate.
Political activism through jazz—think Charles Mingus's "Fables of Faubus" and Sonny Rollins's pointed liner notes to "Freedom Suite"—has been largely in response to racial injustice, but has also on occasion voiced justifiable outrage at senseless war and dishonest government. Still, that was another time. Haynes's time. "My generation of musicians fell in love with all the music that was a product of that outspoken consciousness," says Aaron Goldberg, the 34-year-old pianist who organized Jazz for Obama. "Yet, in some ways, we had divorced ourselves from that instinct. The climate we make music in was less politicized and safer—until Bush."
More even than Obama's righteous and historic presence, the wrongness of the Bush administration (and McCain's complicity with such) has rekindled the spirit of resistance and protest within jazz's ranks. Louis Armstrong once rebuffed President Dwight D. Eisenhower, canceling a State Department tour. Just shy of a half-century later, another New Orleans trumpeter, Terence Blanchard, stood up Bush's 2006 White House invitation for a celebration of the Monk Institute of Jazz, of which Blanchard is an artistic director. ("I couldn't pretend. I made my statement with my absence," he later told me.) Charlie Haden reconvened his Liberation Music Orchestra shortly after the Iraq invasion, and began playing "America the Beautiful" in a minor key.
Political fundraisers make for meaningful outreach—Jazz for Obama drew 750 people and raised more than $60,000—but rarely work as concert productions. But this one was a well-paced, multi-artist affair studded with distinctive performances: Lovano's duet with Hank Jones, Stanley Jordan's masterful transposition of a Mozart adagio to electric guitar, and Bilal's segue from an original tune into a deconstructed "Body and Soul" stand out.

At such affairs, it's easy to read intent into every choice: Though I doubt pianist Brad Mehdau offered "Besame Mucho," a standard of Mexican origin, as a statement on NAFTA, vibist Stefon Harris may well have been sounding a get-out-the-vote challenge with his fluid rendition of Thelonious Monk's "I Mean You." And I'd bet Dianne Reeves, pure-voiced and soulful as ever, consciously appropriated a Reagan theme when she sang Cat Stevens's "Morning Has Broken." There could be no mistaking Dee Dee Bridgewater's purpose, grinding her hips and snarling her way through the Vietnam-era, coulda-been-written-yesterday protest song "Compared to What?"
Other jazz-related Obama fundraisers have popped up in New York City: Tuesday's event at S.O.B.'s featured, among others, pianist Arturo O'Farrill and singer Claudia Acuña in duet, and the proceeds from this Friday's Wordless Music event at (Le) Poisson Rouge, which presents Mehldau's first-ever classical recital, will feed the Obama war chest. Last week at the 92nd Street Y, Goldberg was inventive and adaptive within several ensembles, displaying his continued artistic development. He's grown as a producer, too: His first fundraiser, for John Kerry, was—like the candidate—tentative and unfocused. This one was winning and decidedly on-message. When the full cast assembled for Monk's "Straight, No Chaser," Kurt Elling, the night's emcee, made more sense through scat than the Alaskan governor does with real words. Then he grabbed back the mic: "Straight, no Palin."

What to watch for: USC at Arizona State
September 26th, 2015, 8:00 am by MICHAEL LEVHere are three things to watch for in the USC-Arizona State game Saturday (7:30 p.m., ESPN), plus a final-score prediction and game-preview links:
In our video preview of the game, I predicted that Adoree' Jackson would make some sort of game-changing play. I still believe that will happen. But the knee injury suffered by fellow cornerback Kevon Seymour has made it difficult for USC to unleash the full "Adoree' Package." Seymour first hurt his knee in training camp, and it swelled up after the Idaho game. He was unavailable for Stanford and was limited in practice this week; his status for ASU is unclear. Without Seymour, the Trojans are down to four corners, including freshman Isaiah Langley, who has yet to take a defensive snap. While USC has improved its depth at multiple positions, cornerback is one where it's still lacking. If Seymour can't go, Jackson is going to have to play more on defense – and less on offense.
While everyone has focused on the defensive front seven after its struggles against Stanford, USC's offensive line has quietly gone about its business. Generally speaking, that's a good thing. After a shaky (to say the least) first half against Arkansas State, the offensive line has strung together 10 pretty good quarters. The unit will face some new challenges against ASU. For one thing, the Sun Devils probably have the most aggressive defense the Trojans have faced so far. In order to keep Cody Kessler clean, the line will have to communicate well. That task will be made more difficult by crowd noise, something USC has yet to encounter this season. All of this can be made easier if USC does something I've harped on all week: commit to the run game.

The Colts tendered TE Ben Utecht with the lowest possible tender. He was undrafted, which means the Hawks could sign him to an offersheet with out giving up a pick. Some people really like Utechts potential and feel he has been stuck behind Dallas Clark. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks show interest, and how much competition there might be. He is 26yrs old and goes approx. 6'6'', 260. For a scouting breakdown.....
2007 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 65 | Key
Alert: B
Comment: Utecht is a three-year veteran out of Minnesota that was signed as a free agent by the Colts in 2004. He has excellent size to go with smarts, competitiveness and adequate speed and athleticism. He will line up at both TE as well as H back in the Colts spread offense but is used primarily as a blocking TE. After two years of primarily riding the bench he became an integral part of Indianapolis offense this year and came away with 37 catches. He is surprisingly agile and fluid for such a big TE but he lacks instant acceleration off the line and is susceptible to being pressed by a good LB. He has a long stride length that eats up ground and allows him to sneak up on the secondary and surprise them now and then. He is not a real strong blocker but is getting better as he matures and gains functional strength. He does a pretty good job of position blocking and staying in the way, but does not finish blocks off well. He struggles a bit with low passes but can reach out and pluck the ball away from his body with soft, natural hands. He fits the bill for a backup that does not hurt you when he has to play.

Well, guess what, I did as I said I would and ordered it yesterday!! Will have to wait for a week and a bit probably before I get my hands on it (or even more, depending on the Icelandic ash!!), but I can't wait to start playing with it! I was going to get the other two items in the collection as well, but I didn't in the end...mistake? xx
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this. My fingers were hovering over the 'place in bag' button on Zuneta for the palette and the Grapefruit tint the other day, but I wasn't sure about whether the cream shadow/highlighter in the palette would crease too much on my eyelids. I'm still lemmimg the Beach Tint though :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Wedgie,
I think it will look great wet,and will also make a nice eyeshadow. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Grace,
I think its the first "summery" makeup I have bought thus far this year.
Hello Anna,
Ha,your as bad as me! I am thinking you would have liked the lip tint and cheek tint, but you may have similar, I'll try to give you more details on them soon. I'll be interested to see what you think of the palette x
Hi Glamoured,
I think I should be able to get a nice amount of different looks with the palette, I'll report back on how well it lasts after a full working day. I think you would like the beach tint, would look nice with your complexion.

I've never owned any ToJ but would like to. I actually wanted to order this exact coat from them. Sadly it was discontinued, and I didn't like the flap hip pockets on the new design. The owner closed up shop to open a restaurant, right? Also, I'm curious, other than the pockets, what else is made of leather in the ToJ version?
I got mine in the marketplace, they're definitely still available there. They're still taking orders for now, but will be stopping any time soon, so if you want something, get it while you can.
The reverse of the collar is also leather, which looks great on cold days when you pop the collar up.

This scenario from yester years is so outdated and old-fashioned that nowadays, women not only handle home and a career but manage a complete overall personal growth. Due to this role reversal, many of the women lately are a victim of obesity and poor fitness regime. Due to the stress of juggling a home and career, many women are facing a lot of difficulties associated with their health due to lack of exercise and proper physical workouts. But complaining isn't the solution as finding a balance between personal and professional life with fitness, diet is crucial if not easy. And that's why we are here as today; we share in top 20 fitness tips for working women. *Image courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 1: Stay active throughout the day Walk and talk with a hands-free as much as possible, stand up maybe during meetings, or keep standing while working if you do not have much typing work to do. Take a short walk during your lunch break, take short breaks every half hour where you walk around for a minute and then get back to your desk. The options are there, you just have to make up your mind and do it. Related Article: Its Never To Late To Walk In Life Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 2: Store your house with healthy snacks Even if you have the habit of snacking throughout the day, healthy snacks will come to your rescue, instead of harming your health. So, stock up with all the healthy snacks to stay away from various lifestyle diseases. Related Article: Healthy Tea Time Snacks Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 3: Create an effective exercise pattern Choose an exercise pattern according to your own convenience. Try adapting to strength training, for at least 20 minutes at least twice a week or interval training like walking or running which will help to tone your entire body. Related Article: Workouts; Interval Trainning Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 4: Eat a good breakfast Working women should also maintain a proper diet with the workouts in order to stay healthy. Include lots of fresh fruits in your breakfast, as fresh fruits that contain glucose will help to keep sweet cravings at bay. With fresh fruits you can also include some dry fruits in your breakfast for energy. Related Article: What is A Good Breakfast? Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 5: Turn on the magic of treadmill Just do a 10 minutes treadmill session along with holding a 3-5 pound dumbbell in each hand. Set the speed to brisk walk. Do one-minute set each of biceps curls, triceps extensions, side laterals, and standing triceps one after another as you walk. This exercise will tone your upper body as well as pump your heart smoothly. Related Article: 20 Tips For Treadmill Workout Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 6: Crunches technique Most of the times, women tend to use their neck muscles more than their abs when they do crunches. This practice is completely a waste of time. Instead focus back to your abdominal muscles by pressing your tongue flush against the roof of your mouth before starting your crunches. Related Article: Are Stomach Crunches Enough For Abs? Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 7: Drink lots of water Enough water is very essential for the proper functioning of your body. Keep drinking water at regular intervals, so that you don't de-hydrate yourself. Related Article: 20 Ways to Drink More Water For Better Health Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 8: Chart your progress To stay focused and motivated, make a fitness report card for your own reference. Jot down the subjects as various workouts you will be trying out, and grade yourself as you progress. This will help you to be motivated and will help you to notice various improvements. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 9: Reduce refined carbs intake Limit your refined carb rich foods like cookies, chocolates, honey and white rice. When you eat a refined carb rich food, it will spike your blood sugar level and further will produce more insulin which will increase the fat in your body. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 10: Never overdo anything Women need not more than an hour of health and fitness training. Hence, never over do any form of exercise as doing extra exercises or spending more time in the gym, will just make you tired and exhausted. Hence, focus on limited exercises within a certain time frame to make your training session fun and effective. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 11: Recover from all desk jobs Take a rubber band or hair scrunchie. Take the affected hand and touch all five finger tips together, forming a sort of point. Slip the band or scrunchy around all five fingers and draw them apart against the resistance of the band. It's like a reverse squeeze. Do this casually whenever you have time – in between emails, at home while watching TV, even while driving. This will relax your fingers, hands and can act as a stress buster. Related Article: How to Handle Work Stress Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 12: Be flexible Trying to stick to a routine may get impossible at times. So if you have dedicated your mornings to workouts, and something comes up, be open enough to take it in your stride. Instead of sticking to a routine, make up your mind that you will go to the gym, anytime in the day whenever you have a window of an hour. If you have to attend a meeting, start 45 minutes earlier. Go to the gym, change and then go on your way. Giving yourself some leeway is the key here. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 13: Workout with a buddy If you are bored to work out alone, then call your best friend or take your pet along with for a workout session. Working out with someone whom you know will help you to achieve goals and keep you motivated as well. Besides, working out in company is always fun and cool. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 14: Carbs are important Carbs are very important, as they fuel your body with energy. Hence, up your intake of fruits and other high-fiber crackers. Also include some protein in your diet, so that the carbs break down more slowly. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 14: Stretching is crucial Warming up your muscles before starting up your exercise routine is very important. Warm ups will prevent muscle injury during workouts. Thus, before starting any workout regime, start at the lowest speed and increase it gradually. Related Article: Common Stretching Mistakes To Avoid Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 15: Never focus on weight loss If you just focus on reducing the numbers on your scale, then ultimately you will land up gaining pounds. Instead, you goal should be to maintain a healthy and fit life, by eating right food and practicing right exercise. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 16: Pre-workout snack is important Munching on a energy bar before the gym can actually pump up your energy, as all those bars are high in fiber and sugar. If you're very hungry beforehand, opt for a banana instead which is digested super quickly and will also provide the necessary energy. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 17: Keep an eye on your heart rate Women should work out at 75-85% of their maximum heart rate. When your heart rate is too low, it's a sign that you're not working to your full potential. Too high a rate, on the other hand, shows that you're pushing yourself to a potentially dangerous level. Keep a heart rate monitor on hand or do a manual count incrementally during your workout to ensure that you're reaching, but not exceeding, your ideal target heart rate. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 18: Pay attention how you sit If you're sitting, you may find it most comfortable for your monitor to be at or even slightly above eye level. This helps you look straight ahead without requiring downward head tilt, which often leads the rest of the upper thoracic into a slumping pattern – especially if you're not vigilant and you're prone to lapsing back into bad habits. This simple habit change will go a long way in ensuring reduced back, neck and shoulder aches that are so common among the cubicle crowds. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 19: Be happy As the popular saying goes,' Laughter is the best medicine' and it is 100% percent true says – Dr. Sunesara. When you laugh out loud or just are happy, your body will release feel good hormones and this will kill the villain stress hormone cortisol. Hence, giggle as much as you can to achieve good health by watching back to back comedy videos or by joining a laughter club. Besides, laughter is also a very good workout option to tone your face muscles. Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 20: Never hurry for results Finally, remember that even if you follow all these tips, there will be ups and downs, setbacks and victories. Just be patient, and don't give up. < 4 5 6 7 8 > Image 6 / 22 Renita Tisha Pinto February 22, 2013 Fitness Tip for Working Woman # 5: Turn on the magic of treadmill Just do a 10 minutes treadmill session along with holding a 3-5 pound dumbbell in each hand.

I picked up a MIB ROTJ Tri-pod laser cannon for 7.00
Man, there were some beautiful examples of the Large-Sized line up on ebay recently, MIB, never opened. They actually went at attainable prices. I would have loved to have gotten them...
Well I got my latest package today, and everything looks ship shape (except for a slight kink in Luke's saber tip, which I can live with).
I've now got 68 figures, only 2 of which need accessories. :thumbsup:
Of the remaining figures, I still need 10 that I had as a kid - but have 6 now that I didn't have then.
I took some of the money made with my recent ebay sales and purchased an ungraded, carded POTJ Lando General with what looks to be a beautiful, clear bubble and a nice card for $150. If it looks as nice in person, I'll probably send it off for a grade. I hesitate to drop cash like that, some hopefully my first experience will be a good one!
well, i do not think i am ready to go for a carded vintage collection. but, i did get a harpoon for my snow speeder that is now complete, and it looks great. i also bought a colletion of die cast micros the hoth base sets (3),complete with boxes and insrtuctions sheets and some 5 minirigs complete, it also had a falcon with everything but the ball. so these made some nice additions , i paid 200 for the whole collection of about 12 pieces. everything was in great condition and like i metioned above had the boxes and sheets so i think it works out ok.
Ain't she a beauty?! I can't wait to have her in my greedy little hands!!!!
Holy carp!! That is one of the best looking vintage 12 inchers I've ever seen!! Wow...

Like the woman who sent this video to us. She was at the CVS on Chase Hill Blvd. in northwestern San Antonio on Friday, heard Tim Duncan was in the store, and returned to her car to wait for him. She would have been much better off asking for an autograph or to shake his hand, and if he said no, he's more than entitled to his privacy.AdvertisementBut can we talk about that bird? (At the 13-second mark.) Classic Duncan. The woman was sitting inside her car and never said a thing to him, but his preternatural spatial awareness told him she was there. And the finger itself, a masterpiece of efficiency. A quick, easy up-and-under with zero wasted motion, using the glass like the future Hall of Famer has been doing his whole career. It's fantastic that this is how Tim Duncan blows up in public—polite and unobtrusive. He's The Onion's Tim Duncan brought to life.The woman who sent this in is concerned that Duncan, whose charitable foundation aids underprivileged youth, is "setting a bad example for the kids." But if you were teaching kids at the YMCA how to properly flip someone off, this is the video you'd show them.Reply72 repliesLeave a reply

UPDATE: The Government of Japan has officially cancelled plans to hunt whales in the Southern Ocean this coming year. (Detailed update at bottom.)
Original post:
Whales everywhere will be jumping for joy today. Why? Japan's sham 'scientific whaling' programme has just been declared ILLEGAL in an international court!
At 10am, the judges of the International Court of Justice handed down its long-anticipated decision on whether Japan's government-subsidised whaling programme in the Southern Ocean should be allowed to continue.
While today's ruling did not outlaw the killing of whales for scientific research per se, it categorically stated that Japan's whaling programme in the Southern Ocean was not for scientific purposes, and the amount of whales being killed was not justifiable in the name of science. The court went on to say that Japan must stop issuing permits for this whaling.
Why is this news significant? Because it's binding under international law. Both Japan (the defendant) and Australia (who brought the case before the court) have already agreed to abide by the outcome of the decision.
The news confirms what we've been saying all along: this lethal whaling programme is not necessary, and is harmful to the health of our oceans. It's high time this industry was consigned to the history books.
Now this has made headlines over the world, we're calling on the Japanese Government to immediately abide by this decision, scrap the Nisshin Maru factory ship, and cease all future attempts to continue commercial whaling in the future.
The court case: who said what?
If you've been following Greenpeace for a while, you'll know it's long been our view that Japan's so called scientific whaling program has been nothing more than a thinly veiled commercial venture.
And the facts back it up - from whale meat being sold on the open market to evidence that Japan has been paying off less developed countries in order to secure votes at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) for its whaling program, a practice known as "vote consolidation".
Such a policy has perpetuated an annual kill in the Southern Oceans. Hundreds of whales have been harpooned at sea some 6000 km from Japan, then hauled on board the Nisshin Maru ship and ferried back to port.
The Japanese Government claims that whaling is a long standing part of Japanese culture that the international community should not interfere in. But the Australian Government, who first launched the case against Japan in 2010, were quick to challenge this idea -- as Greenpeace has consistently done in the past. They pointed out that Southern Ocean whaling in fact began in the 1930s, and that it takes place some 6000km from the Japanese coastline.
The fact is, the whale meat industry is dying in Japan. Statistics commissioned by Greenpeace Japan found that up to 80% of respondents disagreed with whaling on the high seas. And 85% said they did not know endangered species were being hunted by Japanese ships in the Antarctic Ocean. What's more, thousands of tonnes of whale meat today remains in frozen storage in Japan because demand is so low. Despite falling catches, the stockpile of whale meat continues to grow.
How could this happen?
The history of commercial whaling is a history of serial disasters - the depletion of one species after another, by an industry operating in a circle of greed. It had been condemned for decades by Greenpeace, other environmental groups, and many governments around the world.
The fact is, the International Whaling Commission strictly forbid the catching and killing of whales at sea for commercial purposes. A small handful of countries continue to hunt whales, using perceived loopholes in the ban, and they get a whole lot of criticism along the way. However Japan has continued its whaling program under the guise of a scientific research program, with a direct view to continue commercial whaling in the future.
So where to from here?
This is another step in our efforts to stop senseless commercial whaling at sea, but we won't stop until this dying industry is ended for good.
We need an end to commercial whaling so we can turn the focus onto some of the big conservation challenges facing the world's remaining whale populations, like climate change and destructive fishing.
Greenpeace will continue to work around the world to tackle those threats to our whales and our oceans. For today - let's keep the momentum going by sharing the news far and wide.
100 years later, Antarctica's whales are safe – as Japan cancels planned hunt.
As a direct result of the International Court of Justice's historic ruling on Monday, the Government of Japan has officially cancelled plans to hunt whales in the Southern Ocean this coming year.
This will be the first year since 1904, when whaling in the region began, that no whales will be hunted in Antarctic waters.
Greenpeace campaigner John Frizell said :
'This landmark court ruling is a phenomenal victory for those calling for an end to commercial whaling, and for the world's whales. We hope that whaling ships will never again set sail to the Southern Ocean, that commercial whaling is consigned to history, and we can instead focus attention on some of the many other threats to the world's whales and the oceans that they live in'.
Major Japanese media sources today confirmed that the 'research whaling' programme in the Southern Ocean will be cancelled for 2014, with the government of Japan citing the damning court judgment and the timing to develop new plans making this year's hunt impossible. The UN's international court of justice ruled that Japan's research whaling programme in the Southern Ocean was not justifiable or reasonable, exposing it once and for all as simply commercial whaling by another name. The Government of Japan was also criticised for hunting endangered fin whales and violating the internationally- agreed Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Despite the historic court case solely being about the Southern Ocean, Japanese government sources also suggested that the court judgment could also force a review of 'research whaling' in the North Pacific.
Greenpeace has sent anti-whaling expeditions to the Antarctic, nine times, starting in 1989 with the last one in 2008. Since then we have been working within Japan to oppose the subsidies that keep whaling alive and to weak the market for whale meat. The market for whale meat in Japan is collapsing and the Antarctic hunt has not been profitable for a long time.

Claiming to have done something huge while in reality you only had a very, very small part in it, while ignoring those who did most of the work (Australia, New Zealand, Sea Shepherd), in this day and age of social media can quickly backfire on you, maybe you should hire a new social media specialist, because looking at the emails greenpeace has sent around (even to Paul Watson) about "our victory" and this blogpost, this might just blow up in your face. Personally i am very dissapointed in this shameless behaviour i have seen from greenpeace and see this as nothing more than one last attempt to milk some more cash out of your donaters in name your "anti-whaling campaign".

Laten we Japan daarvoor feliciteren! Dit is de enige juiste beslissing. Als we actie voeren en wandaden aanklagen dan is het omdat dit moet. Als een overheid eindelijk de juiste beslissing neemt, dan moeten we dit ook toejuichen. Daarom, moeten we Japan laten weten dat dit een schitterende beslissing is.

He won the 1929 Pulitzer Prize for "John's Brown Body," the epic Civil War poem that recounts John Brown's 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry, and his novels include The Beginning of Wisdom (1921), Young People's Pride (1922) and James Shore's Daughters (1934). Beginning in the 1930s Benét worked occasionally in Hollywood, but he was primarily a poet and short story writer; his last collection of poems, Western Star won him a second (and posthumous) Pulitzer in 1944. Extra credit: His short story "The Sobbin Women" was the basis for the musical Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954)… His brother, William Rose Benét, was also a Pulitzer-winning poet.

Somewhere in the midst of 10,000 towns, along a lonely highway between packing clubs in their native Texas years ago and more recently performing stadiums on one of country music's hottest tours, the Eli Young Band became more than a band. They became a brotherhood. Camaraderie and creativity fused into an intoxicating cocktail that has propelled the talented foursome to the vanguard of contemporary country music.
With three No. 1 hits under their belt as well as a Grammy nomination and an Academy of Country Music Award for Song of the Year for their hit "Crazy Girl," the Eli Young Band approached their second Republic Nashville album, 10,000 Towns, with a sense of confidence and purpose. "We were genuinely excited about making this new record," says bassist Jon Jones. "People talk about the sophomore record being really tough to make and in a lot of ways this felt like our sophomore record even though it's technically our fifth record as a band."
"We learned over the progression of those records our strong points in the studio, and we were confident," adds drummer Chris Thompson, "We knew what we wanted and how to get what we wanted."
