How To Read Tire Sizes
Tires come in a variety of sizes and the numbers and text on the sidewall provide important information to consumers. The text can include the manufacturer's name and tire model; numbers usually designate the width of the tire, the diameter of the rim and the height of the tire. Other letters might designate the type of tread.
1) Look at the sidewall of the flat tire or the sidewall of the aired up tire on the other side of the lawn tractor. The sidewall of tires list the required tire psi (pounds per square inch air pressure), the tire brand and model number. Wipe the sidewalls with a moist rag to more easily see the model number.
2) Read the numbers on the sidewall. There are either two number or three number tire size systems.Two Number: The first number is the width of the tire and the second number is the diameter of the rim. For example, on a lawn tractor sidewall it will read: 6.5-14 (18 P.S.I.), which means it is a tire with a 6.5-inch tire width and 14-inch rim diameter. For Three number tires the first number is the height of the tire, the second number is the width of the tire and the third number is the diameter of the rim. For example, on a lawn tractor sidewall it will read: 20/10-8 (18 P.S.I.), which means it is a tire with a 20-inch height, 10-inch tire width and 8-inch rim diameter.
3) Measure the rough dimensions of the good tire on the lawn tractor if you can't read the sidewall numbers. Measure the rim diameter, height of the tire from the ground to the top edge of the tire and the width of the tire. Take these measurements to your local mower repair shop, and purchase a tire close to this size. Tell the clerk your lawn mower model number to see if he can get the exact tire size in an owner's manual the store may have for your type of mower.
You can click here to chat live with us online and we can help find tires tubes and accessories as well.

It's incredible. As the returns came in on Election Night that showed political apocalypse for Democrats, one activist I was talking to expressed his fears. "They're going to make Wisconsin a right-to-work state," he said.
Others echoed that prediction in the following weeks. Rep. Kelda Helen Roys told me she was sure the Republicans would introduce right-to-work legislation, as did other Democrats. However, when I asked Rep. Robin Vos, the incoming chair of the Joint Finance Committee about it, he said he supported the idea but did not state that it was necessarily a priority.
And yet, it right-to-work was not an issue that ever surfaced during the campaign, at least to my knowledge. Neither side seriously engaged union rights and the media didn't seem interested in prompting either side on the issue.
For this reason, I resisted the temptation a few weeks ago of putting right-to-work on the list of the GOP's top priorities.
And now I realize I was mistaken. The insiders were right. The Republicans, sure enough, are looking to introduce right-to-work -- it seems they're making it a top priority, in conjunction with the attack on public sector unions.
Senate Majority Leader-elect Scott Fitzgerald (left) said lawmakers are actively discussing making Wisconsin a right-to-work state, the latest escalation in the looming battle between Republicans and unions in the next session.
The guy leading the effort is Vos, the de facto GOP leader in many ways, especially on economic matters.

Accross the seas of nevermore
There lies the ancient bloody shore
Where living dead still walk the land
Demon warriors of the damned
The fires burn blood red
Upon the Isle of the Dead
The mariners still tell the tale
Of the island gate to Hell
Where sinners of the seven seas
Live out the curse of blasphemy
The fires burn blood red
Upon the Isle of the Dead
Black gate to Nifleheim
The Bells of Hell still chime
Judgement beyond the grave
Condemns their souls to burn in flames
The fires burn blood red
Upon the Isle of the Dead

Bill Maher said that the Republican Party's base is " a bunch of fact-free, racist rednecks" on Friday's broadcast of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."
Maher said, "I said on the show about a week ago, maybe one of our convention shows, that yes, when the Republican Party picked Donald Trump as the nominee, they handcuffed themselves to a dead hooker. But, the dead hooker is not really Trump. It's the voters. It's the Republican voters. They're still with him. that's the problem even you have, in the Republican Party. Because your base is a bunch of fact-free, racist rednecks. That's what the base of the Republican Party is."

The Connecticut Board of Regents is expected to approve the recommendation of Gregory W. Gray as the system's new president.
Board members are scheduled to meet Thursday morning at Capital Community College in Hartford, where they will formally vote on Gray's recommendation and his contract, which includes an annual salary of $380,000 and use of a state vehicle.
Gray previously worked as chancellor of the Riverside Community College District in California, a system with three community colleges and more than 2,000 employees.
In his new role, he will oversee the state's new Board of Regents, which governs 12 community colleges, four state universities and the state's online institution.
Last fall, the board's former president, Robert A. Kennedy, resigned amid an outcry over unauthorized pay increases for staff members totaling $250,000.

I went into a store the other day to buy a pressure washer to clean the siding on my house. I found a good model and asked the sales person its price. "It's quite reasonable," he said. "How many people are in your house?" I was a bit confused. "Sorry," I replied, "wasn't I asking you about the price of this unit?"
"Sure," he said, with a winning sales guy smile, "but this unit is sold on a per-seat basis. It costs $75 per household member. So how many folks are in your house?" "Well, I'm the only person who's going to use it," I answered defensively. "Doesn't matter," he countered. "We charge by the household size. How many pulses in the place?" "What happens if I don't give you the right answer?"
"Well," he said, the smile dimming a bit, "we can audit you at any time and if you haven't covered every household member (it's your responsibility to keep us up to date), we can hit you with a really big fine." "You know," I finally said, "I think I'll just get out the ladder and scrub the siding by hand."
Okay, that didn't really happen, but something similar happens all the time in the network business. For those who've not run into this phenomenon, many software vendors--software tools vendors in particular--have adopted pricing not according to number of servers, number of processors, or even number of network administrators. Instead, these vendors charge by the employee, regardless of whether the employees use their software. Think of this pricing model as "if it has a pulse, we sell you a license" pricing. It's one of the worst things to happen to software buyers in a long while.
I first ran across per-seat pricing years ago when Active Directory (AD) first came out. As an early AD adopter, I was excited by the potential power of Group Policy. However, Microsoft initially offered little help for diagnosing the new technology, so I was happy to see a vendor deliver a powerful Group Policy management and troubleshooting tool. Then I learned that the product cost $35 per seat. "Ah well," I thought, "I can live without it; I don't want to become attached to a utility that I can't in good conscience recommend to my readers and clients."
But what's wrong with this pricing scheme? Economic theory says that in a healthy market, prices are driven by long-run marginal costs, and that model works fairly well for analyzing other markets. So, what drives long-run marginal costs for the software industry?
You have the cost of developing and maintaining the software, but that's mainly a fixed cost--building a tool that one person uses costs roughly the same as building one that a million people use. So let's look at the per-customer costs. In the software business, the per-customer costs are largely support costs; it seems to me that the number of administrators, not users, drives those support costs up. Let's consider two firms: Firm A has 1000 users and two administrators, and firm B has 1000 users and 10 administrators. Which firm will cost a software vendor more to service? I'd guess firm B--it has more administrators, either because the administrators are less efficient or because firm B does something that's more IT-intensive than firm A. (Imagine that firm A provides legal transcription and firm B is an outsourcing firm that remotely supports a variety of businesses and you'll see what I mean.)
Under a per-seat approach, our mythical software vendor gets the same amount of money from firms A and B, but firm B will probably cost the vendor more money, and that's not good cost management. (Or perhaps firm B recognizes its heavy IT support needs and hires only the best of the best, who can often figure things out themselves. But overall, I think the number of administrators in a firm is a good indicator of the amount of support work that they generate.)
The fixit folks, not the typical user, use AD, Group Policy, and most other network administration tools. Suppose Snap-On Tools priced its wares on a per-client rather than a per-administrator basis. "Oh, you're a plumber and you need a wrench? Sure, I can get you a price on that ... How many clients do you have?" I suspect the plumber's first thought would be "What business do you have even knowing how many people's sinks I install?" It's not hard to understand why an administrator purchasing a tool to get her job done might feel the same way.
We're used to the idea that, at any time, the software storm troopers could kick down our doors and compare the number of machines we have running Microsoft Word to the number of licenses we've purchased. And yes, that situation is annoying. But at least all those Word licenses are being used. By way of contrast, ask Joe User how he likes his license for Wally's Amazing PC Census and Migration Tool and he'll probably feign an inability to understand English as he edges toward the door.
Do you know exactly how many users your network has? How often do you perform that census? Are you sure that you have precisely the number of licenses that you need for your AD, Group Policy, and similar tools? Probably not, but not because you're a software pirate; it's probably because you don't have the resources to determine your licensing requirements on a day-to-day basis, and you're probably busy keeping routers running, resetting passwords, and planning new rollouts.
Maybe I'm just behind the times, and per-seat pricing is the wave of the future. I'm getting ready to update my server book. Perhaps the publisher should adopt a more modern strategy. "You'd like to buy a copy of Mark's book? Great ... hey, how many people work in your company, anyway?"
Naah. I don't think so. Software tool vendors everywhere, please give this some thought: Think of your tools as pressure washers, and consider adopting pressure-washer-reasonable pricing policies.

Arper Ginger table
When the MINI Garage in Newmarket opened its door in July 2014, UFL Group
was proud to be selected as the supplier for casual seating and tables. We
supplied an array of Arper product; Loop sofas, Duna chairs, Ginger Outdoor
tables and M114 side tables.
The end result is like no car dealership you've ever seen. It's more
upmarket and swankier than some nightclubs we've been in - and we've seen
plenty of those.

Much like burros transport water and supplies to small towns, burritos transport invaluable resources (steak! beans!) to your mouth. Here're our picks for the 10 places that do them best in Chicago.
This Restaurant Tops Burgers With Chilaquiles & Enchiladas
10. Del Toro
The carne asada at most Chicago taquerias is usually too dry, except at, um, exception-to-the-rule Del Toro. Stick with black beans and Chihuahua cheese, which both manage to blend perfectly with the steak.
9. La Pasadita
Ukrainian Village
Located next to another La Pasadita that's entirely separate, this one serves up a fine carne asada burrito, as long as you keep it to steak, cilantro, and onions. Results can be hit-or-miss -- a trait lots of taco joints suffer from -- but when it's done right, it's done riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
8. Taqueria Traspasada
Just the sheer fact that Taqueria Traspasada makes a chicharron burrito with salsa verde gets its foot in the Top 10 door. The fact that it's actually a really cool one gets it in the Top 8.
7. El Gallo de Oro
Marquette Park
Here's the thing: you're hesitant about eating goat, and we're hesitant about telling you to, then having this place blow up with lines/people -- but we're gonna go ahead and do it anyway, and you should too. If only because the goat here is stewed to make the meat more palatable to the uninitiated, marinated in a spicy red sauce, and wrapped to perfection. Also: the lengua burrito is a local favorite, if you're into tongue.
6. Irazu
This Costa Rican spot has a tasty chorizo burrito that 1) you've gotta eat, and 2) you've gotta eat from the top down (don't make the mistake of trying to tackle it by cutting it in half... actually, don't ever do that). Pro tip: add some guacamole to balance out the inherent greasiness that is chorizo.
5. Taqueria El Asadero
North Center
This one is an area favorite. Go with the chicken, leave off the tomatoes and lettuce, and add avocado to the party. The cilantro and onions will thank you.
4. Las Asadas
This small chain's location near the Western Blue Line serves up reliable al pastor burritos made with pork that isn't cooked on a spit (no doubt upsetting purists), but IS bathed in a six-hour marinade that manages to impart a high level of juiciness. Normally knowing that pineapple is one of the marinade's secret ingredients would be a big deal, but the fact that the meat stays juicy even after getting some good char on the griddle is an even bigger one.
3. Carbon Live Fire Mexican Grill
Ukrainian Village
You're not meant to hang out too long at this hole-in-the-wall spot, and helping reinforce the choice of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" is the graffiti and punk rock imagery (including a modified poster for The Clash film Rude Boy, and a cut-out picture of Sid Vicious). Get the awesomely huge Mother Clucker burrito to go -- it bursts with chicken, cilantro, onions, and the ingredient that binds the whole mother-clucking thing together: tequila-lime sauce. *mic drop*
2. El Famous Burrito
Multiple Locations
El Famous has more than one location in the city, but you can also trek to the 'burbs for the best chile relleno burrito around. Cut the lettuce and tomato in favor of avocado. It's not always made to perfection, but when it is, the combination of avocado, rice, refried beans, and that glorious batter-fried poblano pepper stuffed with cheese that oozes out when you bite into it is something close to witnessing "Buddy Christ".
1. L' Patron
Logan Square
It's no wonder the best burrito in Chicago comes from someone who spent time working at Rick Bayless' Topolobampo. Ernesto Gonzales' wonderfully tiny, stiflingly hot taqueria hasn't been around even remotely as long as others on this list (it opened in 2012), but it makes the only steak burrito we desperately want to eat again and again and again. Generous sections of tender and incredibly juicy steak are stuffed inside a reasonably sized burrito shell and then griddled to glorious perfection, achieving a crispy exterior.

1. Del Toro2133 S Halsted St, Chicago
2. La Pasadita1132 N Ashland Ave, Chicago
3. Taqueria Traspasada811 N Ashland Ave, Chicago
4. El Gallo De Oro2952 W 63rd St, Chicago
5. Irazu1865 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago
6. Taqueria El Asadero2213 W Montrose Ave, Chicago
7. Las Asadas2072 N Western Ave, Chicago
8. Carbon810 N Marshfield Ave, Chicago
9. L'Patron Tacos3749 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago
Popular wisdom holds "liquor before beer and you're in the clear", but nobody's ever said "liquor before al pastor and you'll want some more"... until now thanks to Del Toro. From the family behind Pilsen staple F&R Liquors, DT's a laid-back adjacent tequila bar & grubbery with a mahogany hue, a U-shaped granite bar, and local abstract paintings, all punctuated by the sounds of Latin jazz and bossa nova, which is also how Brazilians describe their favorite PBS programming.
This Ukrainian Village Mexi-joint doles out of the usual staples, but their burritos are head and shoulders above the rest, especially their carne asada version that's simply made with steak, cilantro, and onions.
This Avondale spot might not look like much from the outside, but once you bite into their chicharron burrito with salsa verde, nothing else matters.
You can find some traditional Mexican options at this Marquette establishment, but if you wanna try something a little different, order their stewed goat burrito using meat marinated in spicy red sauce, or the lengua burrito, aka tongue.
Irazu has a blend of surprises and reliable standards that make it a solid place to stop for eats. Dishing out mouth-watering pepito sandwiches (ribeye steak or chicken), a unique oatmeal shake (surprise!), and a number of delicious empanadas and burritos, this Bucktown Costa Rican spot is perfect for any occasion.
This classic, hole-in-the-wall (cash only!) Mexican joint has south-of-the-border food down pat, doling out go-tos like delicious (and cheap) tacos, burritos, and homemade guacamole and horchata. Our favorites include the steak and al pastor tacos and the carne asada burrito.
This is a small chain near the Western Blue Line and it serves great al pastor burritos made with pork that isn't cooked on a spit, but is bathed in a six-hour marinade making it extra juicy.
This place prides itself on healthier, high-quality Mex cuisine, using natural beans and olive oil instead of lard for their tortillas. But the best part is their insanely tender steak.
If you thought you could only get decent Mexican street food south of the border, think again – for Chicagoans, it's as easy as a trip to Logan Square. The market-driven menu at L'Patron includes highlights like carne asada and the signature la gringa, a tortilla with al pastor, Chihuahua cheese, pineapple, and a side of rice and beans. While seating is available, this counter-service taqueria is a lunch hotspot, so get there early to snag a seat and chow down.

People turn to substances and/or behaviors to escape or distract themselves from pain. Not all of these are unhealthy or problematic but when they get in the way of relationships, work or enjoyment in life, they can become increasingly distressing. Substance addictions occur when the amount of use has created a tolerance to the substance and more of the drug is needed for the same high. Addictions also create a physiological withdrawal from the substance when not using it. READ MORE

HLJ had a sale a week ago, this FREEing 1/8 scale Nobody figure at 40% off so went on and bought her together with a few anime shirts, arrived just yesterday.
This is my very first Parfom figure, an action figure line from Phat Company.
I think if one wants to start collecting an action figure line in gradual manner, this line by far, is recommended since this Parfom series was first introduced in August 2014 which is this figure, 001 Aigis. The line hasn't released their second figure between August 2014 and December 2015 (which is Parfom 002 Yuudachi Kai Ni, followed by a re-release of 001 Aigis in February 2016).
The sculptor is Toona Kanshi (RyunRyunTei), a garage kit dealer according to the official website. This figure stands 140mm, a bit similar to the Figma line.
I kinda like the idea of this towered chibi articulated figure, proportion-wise, not bad. What I'm not really happy of is the joints. They're a horror to detach from the limbs and no extra joint included in the box unlike Figmas and Nendoroids (ironically, Phat is also a part of Goodsmile Company). In fact, I spent 15 minutes trying to slowly remove the joints from the machine gun arm. Figma joints are way better. But just like how the figma joints improve over time, I hope Phat will do the same, the sooner the better.
Arrived today from Play-asia.
– Phat! Company Parfom 001 Aigis (Persona3)
-Phat! Company Parfom 002 Yuudachi Kai Ni (KanColle)
Thinking of collecting Parfom line since this series isn't fast to release new figure plus there's Momohime which was shown last WF'16 winter.

It's often said that the journey is the oldest of narrative forms, and much of Jim Jarmusch's career has been devoted to finding new variations on this ancient theme. His filmography abounds with road trips and wanderlust-stricken heroes, from the hepcat drifter in his no-budget debut, "Permanent Vacation," to the enigmatic hit man on a mission through Spain in his latest, "The Limits of Control."
But no Jarmusch journey has been as cosmic — as much of a trip, in every sense of the word — as his hallucinatory frontier odyssey "Dead Man."
The film earned mixed reviews when it opened in 1996, nearly a year after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and after a reported wrangle over the final edit between Jarmusch and the distributor, Miramax. (The director always has insisted on final cut.) But its reputation has grown steadily in the years since. It ended up on many critics' lists of the best movies of the '90s and some now consider it Jarmusch's greatest achievement.
It makes its Blu-ray DVD debut this week through Echo Bridge, a company that signed on this year to distribute a chunk of the Miramax catalog.

RIB construction management software system accelerates overall process
Time is money in the construction industry. This is why Europoles, Europe's market leader for mast solutions, decided to implement an integrated IT landscape for the technical and commercial sides of the construction process.
Located in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate, Europoles GmbH & Co. KG already started implementing software to improve the efficiency of their construction project management last year. After comparing the offers of various manufacturers, the company chose the iTWO project management solution of the Stuttgart technology company RIB. This software enables construction projects to be managed either in the traditional alphanumeric way or with the support of state-of-the-art 5D functionalities. The company is gradually increasing the number of its iTWO workstations. Christian Wallner is responsible for the company-wide introduction and integration of iTWO Business Suite at the subsidiary of VTC Industrieholding GmbH. The software implemented at Europoles is to ensure a consistently optimal cost-benefit ratio for the company's customers around the globe.
As the leader of the European market for standard and special solutions for masts, columns, towers and carrier systems, the Neumarkt company strives for international growth. Today, Europoles runs seven factories in Germany and other countries, plus five other branch offices of its own and 16 sales partnerships. With 130 years of experience in the mast business, the company, which operates in the construction, transport and energy industry, is now focusing on greater internationalisation of its infrastructure sector in particular.
End-to-end processing
For mobile communication in Germany, Europoles GmbH & Co. KG implements new mast solutions all over Germany. 100-150 new projects are currently being realised in Bavaria alone. Besides controlling cost estimation tasks of all German construction projects, Christian Wallner is also responsible for supervising the ongoing induction process of the new iTWO construction management software of RIB, which replaces various insular solutions for technical and commercial tasks of the construction process that were used in the company before. Another of his jobs is to evaluate integration potential of the software system with the already existing IT infrastructure at Europoles, such as the SAP system used in the entire company.
"In the past, the technical construction process in our company was mainly managed with spreadsheet systems," the cost estimation expert reports. "As tendering and invoicing were extremely complicated with the rather simple software tools we were using, we specifically looked for an integrated IT system that could enable us to accelerate processes substantially." Wallner was already familiar with RIB technical construction process management systems implemented in other areas of the company. The company also uses RIB's bidding client for public sector tenders. "In view of our excellent previous experience with this software, we subjected RIB's iTWO Business Suite to closer scrutiny in the evaluation phase for a new solution. The possibility of ultra-convenient transfer of earlier project data from our spreadsheet systems via GAEB* interface and the excellent compatibility with the RIB bidding client soon convinced us of the solution's benefits," he sums up.
Faster submission of tenders
Thanks to iTWO, Christian Wallner and his team have meanwhile accelerated the tender submission process by 40%. This is partly due to the intelligent integration with the RIB bidding client, as changes in the works specifications such as added items are now easy to transfer to the cost estimate. Christian Wallner: "We used to have to re-calculate all the items in a time-consuming process, but thanks to iTWO's comparison of specifications we now only have to re-calculate the items that have been added. All the other work steps are no longer necessary."
Further advantages are provided by the article masters in iTWO. The company now benefits from all the information that was entered in earlier construction projects. Europoles has been using iTWO since 2010. Meanwhile, a considerable proportion of masts are included in the catalog that Christian Wallner and his colleagues can refer to at any time. "That means we only have to adapt a few details in the cost estimation process to calculate the mast solutions that exactly fit customers' specifications," explains Wallner.
SAP integration: 1,000 hours' work saved
The company has made particular savings in invoicing. Public sector contracts frequently involve detailed work. Public construction authorities, for example, often demand that invoices include long text. For this purpose, Europoles' staff were instructed to enter all the items of a works specification list into the company's SAP system by hand. As these documents are often large, this can take hours. Now, all contracts are directly connected in iTWO and SAP, and data can be exchanged by a simple mouse click. "This way, we save roughly 1,000 hours of work a year," enthuses Wallner.
The end-to-end integration with SAP, offered by RIB iTWO as an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution, was obviously another main reason for the decision to use the RIB solution, as Europoles plan even closer linking of the technical and commercial processes in future construction projects. Besides the benefits of integrated invoicing, the transfer of addresses from SAP to iTWO is already offering the company advantages. The company also aims to fully integrate Contract management, Purchasing and Controlling into the system.
With 5D into the future?
As a leading company in the industrial engineering sector, Europoles is also using a 3D model-based work method for planning more and more of its projects. To additionally transfer this BIM process to construction execution and management tasks with iTWO-5D could be an interesting option for the future. This would naturally also benefit the export business of the Neumarkt company, as in various countries such as Singapore, the USA or the UK, BIM work methods are already being sponsored by the Government. For Christian Wallner, at any rate, an exciting possibility with potential.

for the Holidays, we travel back in time, to 2 years ago, the third ever episode, the first ever guest, back when Angelo was happy to be on the podcast, as Sal battles Reggie on what is better, Pumpkin Pie or Sweet Potato Pie, with Angelo being the tiebreaker.

the two argue like them old muppets in the balcony this week. One returns with tales about what really happened to his ass. he shows Sal progression pics of his ass, but now he has poison oak. Sal bartends the blackout monday night Niners game, then watches the game in some kick ass seats next to a porn star and her producer. Roommate Cory drops in with his Big Ben story.
Thu, 15 December 2011
this week our guest is the great Reggie Steele, his last time on the show, way back in episode 3. Angelo makes a quick appearance to discuss why he has been absent, Reggie talks where his positive outlook on life has come from, the trials and tribulations he has endured, the junior high blues, gets a little personal, then we switch gears discussing playing pro basketball in a little country called Latvia.

Rajneesh Quotes About MotivationQuotes about: Motivation
We have been distracted into unnatural motivations: money, prestige, power. Listening to the cuckoo is not going to give you money. Listening to the cuckoo is not going to give you power, prestige. Watching the butterfly is not going to help you economically, politically, socially. These things are not paying, but these things make you happy.
Only when all your desires disappear does that energy become compassion, KARUNA. You cannot cultivate compassion. When you are desireless, compassion happens; your whole energy moves into compassion. And this movement is very different. Desire has a motivation in it, a goal; compassion is nonmotivated, there is no goal to it, it is simply overflowing energy.
Celibacy can only be spontaneous, there is no other type of celibacy. If it is not spontaneous, it is not celibacy. You can force it. you can control your sexuality, but that is not going to help. You will not be celibate, you will be only more and more sexual. Sex will spread all over your being. It will become part of your unconscious. It will move your dreams, it will become your motivation in dreams, it will become your fantasy. In fact, you will become more sexual than you ever were before. You will think more about it and you will have to repress it again and again.

A major figure in the Southern soul movement of the '60s, Cropper made his mark not only as a player and arranger (most notably on classic sides by Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, and Wilson Pickett) but as a songwriter as well, co-writing the classic "In the Midnight Hour."

Match Singles Study Says: Romance is Up; Marriage is Down
Our friends at Match.com released their second annual Singles in America Study, showing that more men are in favor of committed relationships and public displays of affection than their female counterparts. This is good news as it breaks the stereotype and fear from women who are afraid to bring up the subject of commitment and monogamy while dating.
But how far do both single men and women want to go? The study encompassed over 5000 singles with the help of Dr. Helen Fisher, Chemistry.com?s chief scientific officer and biological anthropologist, and took a deep look into politics, weight, height, and which political party is having more fun in the bedroom. (Hint: It starts with the letter R)
The majority of the singles in the study said they wanted to be in a committed relationship, and believed that infidelity was a deal-breaker. Yes, even the guys are ready to go steady. However marriage wasn?t a priority. USA Today reports that two-thirds of the singles polled either don't want to get married, or are unsure about it.
At the end of the digital day, changing your status to "In a Relationship" on Facebook is getting closer-and-closer to how we used to define marriage.
Are you looking for a relationship leading to marriage or would you prefer being in a committed relationship or just living together?
Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
Interested in finding love online? Sign up for Match.com for 20% off your membership or Chemistry.com, where they are offering 14 days free.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Ben Crane's season is over.
Entering the week at 125th on the FedEx Cup points standings, Crane was the longest of longshots to advance in the playoffs, but that won't happen, as he withdrew from The Barclays during the second round because of a back injury.
The Barclays: Articles, videos and photos
"Just disappointed, just bummed," said Crane, who admitted it hurt on every swing. "I mean, I just figured some stuff out this week, and was really excited about it. And it showed up in the first round, and then, you know, obviously not feeling good prevents you from doing what you want to do. There's a certain level of pain that you just can't take anymore."
After an opening-round 4-under 67, Crane bogeyed two of his first four holes in the second round before pulling out of the tournament.
He maintained he would have the disk injury evaluated and hopes to return for the beginning of the 2013-14 season.
Earlier in the week, Crane released a music video titled "Bubble Boy" about his placement in the standings.

|I don't have any answers to your first 3 questions, but for question 4, I would say YES definitely! I remember attending a presentation at DefCon or BlackHat this year, where the presenter had done research in very same area: He registered domain names that were 1-character off of some of well-known domains & then he was able to perform some malicious activities. Of course, he had let them know ahead of time and unregister them after he was done. I'll see if I can find a link to it & share it here for more in-depth information.

1. Yes, as an example (not an endorsement or recommendation), I know domaintools.com archives records. They require a subscription, though, but there's a 7 day free trail (probably with CC# and account creation, I do not know). I'm sure there are others with the historical records, too, I just know they have that service.
2. I don't know a ton about SMTP, but I think your theory is correct; I'm not sure on the bad or hacked idea really, sorry.
3. I would report it to your local FBI office; they will eventually maybe look into that account and get it shut down or start monitoring it. Since you didn't actually fall victim to a crime here there's no legal recourse that I'm aware of. The suspects are probably out of country anyway. However it could be valuable intelligence for them on a case they're working.
4. I would not bother with that, just block it on your email filters. Again as an example and not a recommendation, I also know DigiCert has a certificate monitoring service that is in beta and free (for now). One of the features of that service is visually similar domain name registration alerts. Just add your domains and it will alert you if anything similar gets registered. You can then look at it and evaluate if it's probably malicious or just a legitimately similar domain.

Right. I'm going to go in the order I found/watched these Christmas adverts for 2016.
Get ready for some great ones and awful ones!! I really can't wait to find all those international ones too!!!!
Let's have a watch of this ad.
So we have a 3 inch baby carrot named Kevin searching for Santa! He traipses through the dinner table to get to Santa's mince pie, he lights up the Christmas pudding, manages to escape a roast potato boulder, go through a bucket of ice etc before jumping onto the Christmas tree and onto Santa's plate.
Kevin the carrot takes a snooze, and before he realises it, he's awakened and flying over the UK attached to one of the reindeers who thinks that Kevin is food! Well Santa got around really quick that night it seems. ^_^
A pleasant story from Aldi. They never disappoint with their Christmas adverts!
And here's an extra ad... I'm really not sure if they're just taking the mickey out of John Lewis. >_<"

"Simon did a fantastic job on our guttering, very professional and helpful. Thanks!"
"Simon visited the house to quote for replacement fencing blown down in high winds. His quote was very reasonable and he finished the work to a high standard a couple of days later. Very satisfied and will use again."
"Simon has completed a variety of work for us including painting, adjusting door closers, replacing guttering to name but a few. We have always found him conscientious, honest and trust worthy and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others."
"Simon is great doing DIY Jobs and has been invaluable to me. He has painted and done small jobs in the cottage."

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have unveiled a new video for 'Magneto' which is taken from their new album, The Skeleton Tree.
The clip is an excerpt from director Andrew Dominik's (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) unique and highly acclaimed film One More Time With Feeling. The film reveals the trauma Nick Cave and his family are experiencing following the death of their beloved son, Arthur Cave, who tragically passed away aged just 15.
In addition to interviews, a lot of the film is taken up with peformances of songs from the Skeleton Tree album, which due to the vulentability of Cave's lyrics and delivery, is a real tear-jerker.
The clip above is shot in black and white with flickering strobe lights as cameras circle the singer, the scene visually is as bleak as the haunting soundscape.
The musicians surrounding him offer minimalist accompaniment that seems dedicated to emphasising the harrowing mood.
Lyrically, it appears to convey the depression and suffering Cave has gone through, his words revealing the open wounds he still feels.

Which way is up?
[CN: Reference to drowning, depression]
I wrote this a few months ago. I didn't share it then because I wasn't in the right head space to do so. So, I've decided to share this post in the hopes that people who experience similar feelings of nothingness get to know that they're not alone.
