You are invited to post a picture of your Singer 15 or a 15 clone here. If what you post is not a 15 clone that is ok maybe someone will help you figure it out. Maybe you would just like to contribute the badge name of your 15 clone and tell a bit about it.
These mostly can be identified by the tension on the face plate of the machine. The machines can vary WILDLY or be similar but with a different name.
A bit of info...
Although not really collectable, the "clones" can be very serviceable simple to use machines.
They beat the bargain machines sold at discount stores. Here's why...
Full reverse capabilities
Adjustable presser foot pressure
Feed dogs drop
Class 15 bobbin, side loading, oscillating hook
Uses standard home sewing machine needles
they have more powerful motors so can sew faster and have better piercing ability
(amperage rated motors (1 to 1.5 amps)
all metal parts
common, easy to find, low shank accessories fit them
parts are available for repairs
great for free motion
hems your jeans
easy to see the needle - the tension is around the corner
if it wears out you can easily find another one like it but most likely you'll be dead first
The clones can be easily rewired
Here are a couple good articles on the Clones if you would like more information.
Potato Head (born in Japan - badged Kingston) motor is marked Brother
Universal - a CL rescue - still needs a tension - out of 10 machines that were in a flood, this machine and a Singer 66 were repairable - I wish I had a before picture
Federal - blue band is hiding some termite damage in her frame
Commander badged by Sears - this one is set up for free motion

Grantwriting Guide
Posted: Apr 6, 2010
Grantwriting is a combination of science, art, and politics. The various factors will play out differently, depending upon with whom you are dealing.
Be sure to conduct thorough research and analysis before you approach a funder:
- What geographic/interest areas does the funder focus on?
- Who and what has it funded?
- What is the dollar range of its grants?
- What does it require of applicants? Must you have a 501(c)(3) IRS status, for instance?
- Who is on the board of the foundation? Do you know any of the members, or know anyone who does?
- What has been the experience of other organizations working with this funder? Talk to people who have a history with the funding source.
- What is the funder's history, origin, and institutional structure?
Government grantors and private foundations both
- Want you to have clear goals;
- Encourage or demand innovation;
- Want you to think long-term (although they almost always fund short-term);
- Want deliverables - specific, measurable outcomes achieved within a certain time period;
- Like projects/activities that can be replicated elsewhere; and,
- Don't want to be your only funding source.
Government grants
- Generally have a fairly rigid proposal format and requirements;
- Frequently have a rigorous preliminary proposal process, from which the most competitive applicants emerge and are asked to submit full proposals;
- Have clear selection criteria and sometimes specified weighting of criteria clearly laid out and should be followed;
- Often require local match (in cash or in-kind services). In many instances, the greater the amount of match offered, the greater the chance of selection;
- Generally won't/don't fund advocacy work; and,
- Are likely to have strings attached. Applicants need to read the fine print. Are there limits on shifting funds among cost categories, for instance? Is the grant made on a reimbursable, rather than an up-front payment basis?
Private foundations
- May have specific geographic areas of concern/grantmaking - international, national, regional, state and/or local;
- May have multiple areas of interest, and their interests may change over time;
- Are a more likely source of funding for meetings/conferences, training, network support, etc., than government grants;
- Are more apt than government grantors to have questions about staff competencies, board governance, hiring and training practices, and similar internal matters;
- Generally involve meetings/phone calls between applicants and program officers. It may take years of communication with a foundation before you get a grant from it. On the other hand, you can be offered a grant based on the foundation's interest in your work, rather than on the basis of a formal proposal; and,
- Tend, if they are large, to give big grants and discourage smaller grant seekers, and may want a smaller organization to work through a larger one.
Private businesses/corporate donors
- May confine giving to the areas where they have operations;
- Generally give smaller grants of $1,000 to $10,000;
- May be responsive to requests to address special community needs/causes;
- May provide services, equipment, or supplies, in lieu of or in addition to cash grants; and,
- May give some grant-making discretion to local facility/store managers.
- Institute for Conservation Leadership
Offers a 12-month program which provides fundraising skills, training, and consulting support to participants as they implement new fundraising efforts. >>
- The Foundation Center
The "Virtual Classroom" offers free, interactive online training courses on funding research, grantseeking, and grantwriting. >>

acmultimedia needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 113 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
I require a logo design for a social networking website which is currently in the design stage. I have a website design (minus the logo) which I would like the logo to be based around.
Prob*lem*Lou*nge (without the *)
You share. We help.
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Very Web 2.0
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
I would like the logo to be simple and fit the style of the design already created for the rest of the site. The colours are defined in the design but I do not want to use the pink in the logo. I also like the speech bubbles so feel free to try these with the logo.
The design is early stages so don't feel too confined by this - use it as a starting point and to get an idea of how the website will feel.
The design is located here:
The logo must say the name Pro*blem*Lou*nge (without the *). Feel free to add .com to the end and use lower case letters if it works best.
I would like the word 'beta' added to the logo somewhere but this is not important and can be added on afterwards. You may also like to add the slogan 'You share. We help.' but again this not important and can be added later.
Must be original work and all fonts, vector artwork will need to be provided. If you need any more information please let me know.
All entries will be given good constructive feedback.

Ever since I was a teenager, I've questioned the world around me—everything from our car-based culture and corporate food system to my intimate relationships. How can my personal life reflect my political beliefs—autonomy, transparency, respect? How do I work for balanced power dynamics in love, sex, and partnership with other people?
These questions led me to open relationships, or as some people say, "polyamory" or "nonmonogamy." While a lot of people date multiple people before they decide who they want to be with long-term, being in open relationships means long-term involvement with more than one person at a time. Everyone I know approaches it differently. I've gone through periods of living on my own, living with one of my partners, mainly seeing one person and casually dating on the side, or sometimes "partnering" with two people for a period of time. My longest relationship was six years—I lived with my partner, and we both dated other people. Right now I often have one person in my life whom I see several times a week, another whom I see less, maybe once a week. I'm involved in both their lives, they know each other, and usually they're dating other people, too.
I constantly challenge my own assumptions about sex, intimacy, and commitment. It's exciting to have the freedom to evaluate each new person who comes into my life and see where that relationship goes on my own terms, terms that I've chosen or negotiated with my partners, rather than limits preset by culture.
I believe open relationships are empowering for everyone, especially women. As I became an adult, the freedom and autonomy I felt in my relationships helped me understand my self-worth as an individual, separate from my partners. I learned to speak up for my needs and desires while respecting others' feelings. I can admit openly that I like sex and that I think it's fun and interesting to explore that level of intimacy with different people.
To be in healthy, open relationships, I have to understand myself and know what makes me feel loved, valued, and supported. Understanding myself and my needs is key, because when I am getting what I want or need I don't feel jealous or possessive of my partners' other relationships.
Every couple goes through a stage of assessment as you figure out if you want to be together: Do you want to live together? Do you want marriage? Children? Many traditional couples feel like they go through this stage at the beginning of their relationship, then settle into a pattern.
In an open relationship, there are additional negotiations: How much do I want to know about what my partners are doing with their other partners? If we live together, how do I feel about those partners hanging out in or having sex in our house? If I were to have children, what relationship would I want my partners and their partners to have with my children?
Each new person who enters or leaves your life requires a new conversation with your partners. Most open couples have clear agreements with each other that help them feel safe and comfortable. They might not be the same agreements that monogamous couples make ("I'm not going to have sex with anyone but you."), but something like, "I want to know you're going to sleep with someone before you do it." Over the years, I've settled on just a few things that are important to me. For instance, "If someone is important to you, I hope you talk to me about them, whether or not you're sleeping together—but I don't really want to hear details about your sex life. And if we go to a party or event and one of our other partners is going to be there, we all know in advance who is going home with whom."
Being "open" is not like being single. When you're single you can choose to sleep with or flirt with whomever you want. In an open relationship you have boundaries and agreements established with your partners, and your choices also should reflect their needs and desires. It certainly is possible to "cheat" in an open relationship—by going back on an agreement or lying.
How To Have An Open Relationship:
Three simple tips for making it work
As I've learned to negotiate, I've re-examined and rejected some of the attitudes that I saw around me growing up, like the idea that you possess and control your partner—as if dating someone gives you the right to know what they are doing all the time or to manipulate or coerce them. I believe these behaviors are means of avoiding your own fears and discomfort. When I confront my jealousy, I stop focusing my anger and irritation on, for example, the new person my boyfriend is seeing, and focus on the action causing the problem—maybe we're not spending enough time together.
Separating commitment from sex opens possibilities for different types of long-term or committed relationships and redefines family. There are many people in open relationships who choose to have children. And I know committed nonmonogamous couples, some of whom are married, who don't live together. Or there are couples who have been together for decades who don't have sex with each other any more (and do have sex with others), but still maintain their commitment and intimacy.
Being in open relationships takes a lot of emotional energy. But the self-awareness I bring to each relationship makes me feel authentic. Open relationships are not more politically correct or "hip." They're about choosing what's important to you and working to live, love, process, argue, and be upset in healthy ways that make you feel empowered. Such choices make any relationship—whether open or monogamous—honest and meaningful.

Thunder handle Pacers, move into tie atop West
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook refused to let anyone celebrate at their expense Friday night.
Even if Indiana was playing on its home court with a division title at stake.
Durant overcame a bruised left calf to finish with 34 points and nine rebounds, while Westbrook had 24 points, seven rebounds and nine assists in a 97-75 blowout that sent Oklahoma City into a tie with San Antonio for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
BOX SCORE:Thunder 97, Pacers 75
OLD SONIC CELEBRATED:Gary Payton to HOF
"It's one of those things that it's great that it's happened, but we're not focusing on it," coach Scott Brooks said of the top seed. "We just want to continue to play good basketball and hopefully we continue to do that. It's a great opportunity for us."
This has already been a big week for Oklahoma City (56-20), which has won three straight and six of its past seven.
And things don't get much more impressive than what they've done over the past two days.
On Thursday night, Durant & Co. took down the Spurs 100-88 then flew to Indy.
Less than 16 hours after arriving at the team hotel, the Thunder handed the Central Division leaders their worst home loss of the season — and on a night the city was poised to celebrate Indiana's first division crown in nine seasons.
Now Oklahoma City takes a one-day break before hosting New York on Sunday afternoon.
It closes the season with only two of its final five games against teams that were in position to make the playoffs heading into Friday night — Golden State and Milwaukee — and with a chance to earn the coveted top spot in the West.
Not surprisingly, Durant has been the key.
After limping to the locker room at halftime when he got kicked in the calf, the three-time NBA scoring champ returned in the second half to score 22 points on 9 of 13 shooting, almost single-handedly pushing Oklahoma City on every big scoring charge.
"It's always tough playing back-to-backs no matter what, especially home and away," said Durant, who leads the league in scoring.
"We played a tough, tough team last night and then playing a team that plays so hard, plays so well in this building, you know it's going to be tough. So we just wanted to come out and play hard for 48 minutes tonight and we'll rest up tomorrow."
The Thunder wound up beating Indiana at its own game.
SHIFT IN WEST:Gallinari done for season
They dominated the Pacers (48-28) on the glass 53-31 and outplayed the NBA's best defensive team. Indiana shot just 37.5 percent from the field and was a dismal 2 of 21 from 3-point range as its five-game winning streak ended.
Roy Hibbert led Indiana with 22 points and eight rebounds, while David West had 17 points and George Hill finished with 10. Nobody else reached double figures.
The loss will likely only delay the celebration for Indiana (48-28), which hasn't won a division crown since 2003-04 and has only four division titles in the franchise's NBA history.
The Pacers also could have wrapped up the division with a Chicago loss Friday, but the Bulls held on for an 87-86 win over Orlando.
So Indiana will get its next chance to win a division title without Reggie Miller on Saturday at Washington.
But the loss could prove more costly in the overall picture. New York's 101-83 win over Milwaukee leaves the Pacers 1½ games behind the Knicks in the chase for the No. 2 seed in the East.
"Our goal above all else was to win the division, so we have to regroup tonight, prepare tomorrow for Washington which has been playing tough at home and go out and try to clinch this thing," West said.
For the first three quarters, the game lived up to its billing between two of the NBA's top teams.
Durant changed everything in the fourth quarter.
He scored the first six points in a 9-0 run, turning a 72-67 lead after three quarters into an 81-67 cushion early in the fourth. And when it looked as if the Pacers might rally midway through the fourth, Durant closed off that charge, too, with back-to-back 18-footers and a 3-pointer that made it 88-74 with 4:37 to go.
Indiana never challenged again in a game that featured 12 lead changes and 10 ties in the first half.
"We've matured as a team," Westbrook said. "We're doing a good job of playing together at the right time. Mentally, we wanted to come out and play the right way. It was important for us to come out and be aggressive. We didn't want to wait around and see how they were going to play."
Notes: Indiana will not play another team from the West unless it reaches the NBA Finals. ... Oklahoma City won both games against Indiana this season. ... The Pacers have won five straight games three times this season but have yet to win six in a row. ... The Thunder, the NBA's top free-throw shooting team, were 19 of 23 from the line.

A Look At 2018's Long Beach Polar Bear Super Bowl Splash With Make-A-Wish's Kathie Lombardi
In media, Long Island is often painted out to be a New York City suburb. While technically true, Long Island has also been at the epicenter of many cultural movements over the past century. It was an important to the development of aviation during the early 20th Century, as Charles Lindbergh lifted off from Roosevelt Field in 1927. It was the place of origin for countless winners of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards. Hip-hop, punk rock, classic literature, and stand-up comedy all have roots in Nassau and Suffolk County. The Great Gatsby, The Godfather and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind are just a few of the influential works that use Long Island as a setting.
Our website was launched in April 2016 with the mission of celebrating both the history of Long Island and what's ahead for it. Its main focus is on entertainment, from providing content that is entertaining, to featuring Island-related events and personalities. While written by Long Islanders -- past and present -- the content is intended for readers all over the world. We leave the politics and hard news to the other publications...unless they happen to be entertaining.
Simply put, there is No Place Like Long Island.

To say that Domenico Panacea is a MacAddict is probably an understatement. Panacea is an early adopter of a different sort. He spent $1300 just so he can borrow a Philips Lumalive T-Shirt for a month. I know, my eyes bulged just as big when I found out that after forking over $1300 he still did not own the T-Shirt. If you're not familiar with the Lumalive, it's from electronics manufacturer, Philips, and it integrates dynamic LED lighting into the fabric of the shirt.
The first thing Panacea did with the shirt? Well, he programed his favorite brand into the tee. What else do you think he'd do with a $1300 borrowed shirt? Of course you're gonna program an Apple logo into it!
And in case you're wondering, the shirt comes stocked with 128MB of memory that can blink out 10 minutes of text and it can glow for four hours at a time before needing to be recharged. I wonder when version 2.0 will be released?

Here's Joan Rivers calling a Adele a cow, or whatever. The thing is, Joan Rivers is a rare bird, and she's worked her way up the ranks like a motherfucking Terminator. She didn't get where she is by giving out Girl Scout cookies and telling everyone they're pretty. The other thing is, she mocks her own appearance, so she thinks it's okay to think and talk about herself and others in really hateful ways. It's her act, I get it, and it can be super funny. But here's one of many times it's overwrought, ugly, and worked to death. It's embarrassing to see/hear the audience and Letterman's reactions — the whole thing is just awkward as hell.

U.S. 34 between Greeley and Kersey reopened
October 7, 2013
The portion of U.S. 34 between Greeley and Kersey that dissolved during the flood has reopened, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Amy Ford, director of communications for CDOT, said the missing portion of the highway is filled with temporary material, and one lane will be open to traffic at a time. Crews will likely start long-term reconstruction on the highway in the spring.
Ford said the corridor was a high priority because it serves as a major thoroughfare for agriculture, which is in the midst of harvest season.
Crews with Zak Dirt Inc., a Longmont company contracted by CDOT, have been working to reconnect U.S. 34 east of Greeley for several weeks. They used dirt, rocks and bits of cement to fill the gaping hole on the highway.
CDOT officials estimate the U.S. 34 business route east of Greeley up to Weld County Road 49 should reopen in early- to mid-October.
CDOT last week also announced an additional $65.5 million available for flood recovery through an executive order from the governor's office, bringing the total to $91.5 million. The total cost of permanent repairs on Colorado's highways is now estimated at $475 million, according to a news release.

The order also authorizes the state to allocate up to $20 million for short-term, zero interest loans to local governments in need of capital for emergency repairs.

PORT MORRIS — Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy paralyzed FreshDirect's online ordering system, disrupted its supply chain and damaged dozens of their refrigerated trucks, the company is scrambling to resume deliveries in time for the Thanksgiving rush.
The online grocer, whose Long Island City headquarters fell within a mandatory storm evacuation zone, has rented temporary vehicles to make up for its lost trucks and has suspended deliveries to some areas as a result of the storm.
"Like many New York City businesses, we were hit very hard by Hurricane Sandy," the company said in a statement Monday, adding that its full delivery fleet should be restored "over the coming weeks."
FreshDirect posted a message on its website asking customers to check whether deliveries are currently available to their ZIP code before ordering.
"In areas where we are currently not taking orders, we expect to restore limited service after Thanksgiving," company officials added. FreshDirect declined to specify where those areas are located.
The company moved dozens of its flooded-out trucks to the Harlem River Yard in Port Morris in The Bronx, where it plans to eventually build new headquarters, FreshDirect officials confirmed.
"We hope to have them removed as soon as possible and have been working around the clock to restore our fleet to full strength over the coming weeks," the statement said.
The decision to park the damaged trucks at the site outraged some Bronx residents who oppose the company's relocation.
"I live here. I love this community. My wife is about to give birth to our first child here, and yet there are people who think this community is a junkyard," said Monxo Lopez, who is part of a group that filed a lawsuit to block FreshDirect's move to The Bronx.
"It has hit me very personally."
The group, South Bronx Unite, said the company's use of the lot as a storage area for trucks violates a court-ordered agreement that FreshDirect would "maintain the status quo" at the site until after a court hearing in February, according to Lopez.
The company began cancelling orders the Sunday before the storm hit on Oct. 29, since most of its workers rely on public transportation, which the city suspended that evening.
Immediately after the storm, the company's website, where customers place orders, temporarily shut down because it is hosted by servers in lower Manhattan that were flooded, according to an interview with the company's CEO on Bloomberg TV.
The company also dealt with backed up supply chains and blocked delivery routes, according to its CEO, Jason Ackerman.
"This is going to be quite a mess to clean up," Ackerman said during the interview.
Some deliveries resumed later that week, but the most recent message on the company's Facebook page, posted last Thursday, reads, "We're so sorry that we haven't been able to deliver to many of your areas again.
"We hope that you and your loved ones are safe, and we look forward to delivering to you again as soon as we can."

Expressive drawing
an introduction to the art of drawinG.
6-class Session
Drawing is a form of poetry, a dance, a language, an attitude and it gives you renewed vision. It allows you to instantly translate thought into a visual form.
In our Expressive Drawing course, we introduce you to several types of drawing: artistic, expressive, spontaneous, observational, "blind contour", volumetric, gestural using as themes objects, portraits, landscapes and the human body. The basic elements: line, shape, form, volume, texture, light and dark are introduced as ingredients for creative experimentation, where doing and erasing, creating positive and negative shapes, allowing contrast and repetition come together resulting in a dynamic flux of energies. The course examines the relationship between technique and image, the language of materials, and drawing as an end product.
The focus is on the experience, the very act of drawing. The resulting work is a by-product.
We provide all of the materials and supplies that you would need. Just sign up, show up, and draw up!
Brushless Watercolor.
An introduction to the basics with Fun Experimentations.
6-class session
"Watercolor is fun and easy!"
This course presents watercolor as the playful, versatile, transformative, exciting medium by introducing its practice with more freedom. In this course, the student will get acquainted with the basics but also, delve into experimental techniques that are more freeing such as spraying, splashing, spattering, stamping, etc, which along with several additives, like salt, paraffin, alcohol, result in works that are full of spontaneity as well as control. Many times, the use of brushes is incidental. The resulting fun is not!
Open to students with varying levels of expertise, this course will look at choosing papers, brushes and pigments, as well as the many traditional ways to apply paint, create textures, glazes, and manage positive and negative space.
Encompassing the effective use of line, form, color, rhythm, it will aim at developing sensibilities within figurative and abstract ways of rendering any subject. All materials and supplies will be provided. Come join us for a nonwatered-down creative journey using watercolor.

5 Seconds of Summer's Calum Hood Responds to Nude Photo Leakby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
We bet 5 Seconds of Summer fans aren't hoping for 'Amnesia' after this. Yesterday (Aug. 28), a nude picture of Calum Hood reportedly leaked online!
In the very, very, very NSFW photo, the singer allegedly rolled up his shirt and pulled down his pants, revealing what's, uh, inside. (You can check out a censored version of the photo right here.) While you can't see the person's face, Just Jared Jr. claims it's the singer and Calum himself seems to have 'fessed up based upon these tweets:
Least ya know what it looks like now
— Calum Hood (@Calum5SOS) August 29, 2014
I'm still just a teenage kid learning from mistakes
— Calum Hood (@Calum5SOS) August 29, 2014
We applaud his honesty and ability to brush off the error. (Although next time, Calum, cover it up with some American Apparel underwear.)
The real question, of course, is who leaked the photo? It was technically a video sent via SnapChat and clearly screencapped, but beyond that, there's no other information.
Calum is just the latest in a long line of celebs who have nude photo scandals. Former Disney star Dylan Sprouse owned up to the naked pics of himself that leaked online, with 'Glee' actress Heather Morris and Demi Lovato reportedly suffering from unauthorized published images as well. However, some stars like Rihanna and Cody Simpson choose to flaunt their bodies proudly — even when Instagram takes the photos down.

Greetings to all and peace from our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus. From E. TN; Tri-Cities area (Bristol, Johnson City & Kingsport).
On that night in the Judean sky the mystic star dispensed its light, a blind man moved in peaceful sleep and dreamed that he had sight.
A lonesome leaper seldom seen had a vision he was clean. When he awoke in morning's light, he had friends well in sight.
On that night in the manger stall, slept child and mother cheek by jaw; a harlot dreamed she was safe and secure because a chosen one had made her pure.
Against the black bosomed night diamonds spangled the sky while angels announced the birth of a King.
As the light flickered against the walls, the shadow of the cross carved from the beams in the stable loomed over him and he remained under that shadow all his life.
From His loom He can fashion the fleece to curtain the couch of the dying and give dignity and peace. I won't forsake you!
Upon the looms of Heaven He weaves the delicate tapestry of the rainbow to glisten against the rolling clouds reflected by the silver lines He laced on the green meadows. The lovely lily's He tacked on the lush green carpet against a backdrop of purple mountains piercing the turquoise sky where set afire by a blazing sun to coat a blue planet with universal light. How can anyone put limits on Him - The Just One.
There wasn't room for him in the inn - but on January 5, 1972 I made room for him in my heart.
Except one becomes a child; so simple but yet difficult to put you life in someone else's hands. Suffer the little children to come to me and forbid them not!
I feel so small and inadequate sometimes and ashamed that I haven't done more in life. There are some things that can't be taken away. One must have a vision! Seize the day!

HOUSTON -- John Isner and Nicolas Almagro, two of the biggest servers in tennis, aced their way into the final of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship.
Top-seeded Almagro of Spain, the ATP Tour leader with 261 aces, needed only 58 minutes to beat American wild-card Rhyne Williams 6-2, 6-1.
Isner, second in tour aces with 251, recovered from a slow start to top defending champion Juan Monaco of Spain 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the other semifinal to set up the booming showdown Sunday.
"Even though I got creamed in that first set, I felt like I was playing pretty good," Isner said. "I felt it was the best I'd played all week. My serve wasn't working in the first set and he was making a lot of returns. It got away from me."
"After that first set, I thought I served smart," Isner said. "I got myself out of several jams the rest of the match so it was very encouraging."
The 6-foot-9 American finished with nine aces against Monaco and has 57 going into the finals, three short of tournament record set by Pete Sampras in 2002.
Isner used his power to good advantage in the final game of the match with serves clocked at 142, 144 and a fault that hit 147 mph at match point. Monaco returned Isner's second serve but Isner sealed the match with a backhand volley.
Almagro added seven aces to his total against Williams.
"I played better today than I did the first two days," Almagro said. "I feel good today. I think he was a little bit tired. I'm happy with my game. I tried to be focused all the time and I moved really good. That's important for me."
Isner lost to Monaco 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in last year's clay court and he appeared headed for another loss after Monaco broke his serve three times in the opening set.
Isner rallied from 15-40 in the fifth game to deuce but double faulted and hit a backhand into the net at break point. Isner went down at the first set point in the seventh game.
Isner got more aggressive at the start of the second set. He broke Monaco in the fifth game of the second set and in the first game of the third set to fuel his rally.
"He played better than me at the end," Monaco said. "You can play so good one set but that's not enough. He gets confidence when he starts serving well. He played better than me, that's for sure."
Almagro became the first top-seeded player to reach the clay court final since James Blake in 2008.
Almagro, ranked No. 12 in the world, never allowed his 22-year-old foe to get into the match. He broke Williams in the second game of the match that ended with a crowd-pleasing volley exchange.
The first set ended with three straight breaks. Williams was broken in the sixth game on the third break point when Williams hit a forehand beyond the baseline.
Almagro played a poor seventh game and was broken when his backhand sailed wide. Williams was broken with a love eighth game.
Almagro won the first five games of the second set before Williams held in the sixth game but it was over quickly in the seventh game that included at 129 mph ace by Almagro. The Spaniard won at the first match point with a blazing backhand that was unchallenged by Williams.
"I have to give him a lot of credit because he moved the ball around the court really well," Williams said. "He's tops in the world and one of the best clay-courters in the world right now.
"It was fun to see what it was like facing a top guy like that. It was a great experience for me and I enjoyed it even though the result didn't go my way today."
Jamie Murray of Britain and John Peers of Australia upset top-ranked Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States 1-6 7-6 (3) 12-10 in the doubles final. The Bryan brothers had won 19 straight matches in the event.

A small private university faces a large bill from the City of Orange for police costs incurred in preventing students from climbing the town square's fountain during the school's annual "Undie Run."
Chapman College students have in the past decade picked up the tradition from bigger schools, and have shed most of their clothing in a communal, late-night romp to celebrate the end of semesters.
The last two Undie Runs have cost the City of Orange an undetermined amount for police overtime costs, and about $13,000 to repair a 71-year-old fountain in Town Plaza damaged during December's romp. And for this spring's Undie Run, a temporary fence was placed around the fountain at a cost of $6,000.
The Orange County Register reports that the university will get a bill for the overtime once the city accountants tally it up. Who pays for the fence and damaged fountain has yet to be determined.
"We have not received a bill yet, this is news to us," said Harold W. Hewitt Jr., the school's executive vice president and chief operating officer. He said the school "will stand by our commitment to pay the city's costs."
The December version of the run was a charity fundraiser, and the clothes that were stripped off by students were sold to benefit underfed people in Africa. Underwear with a map of Africa on it was sold to raise money.
Police said 1,500 students stripped down to their briefs or panties and bra and reveled in the town square's fountain in December.

Why ubiquitous computing is important
When you add information processing and communication to the design of any object, it changes. It's like adding electricity to a previously manual task. When you add an electric motor, the shape of the tool changes, the actions change, the goals change. The same kind of change happens when information processing is added to the mix as a design consideration.
Today's computers are shaped the way they are–single blocks of plastic and aluminum with general-purpose input and output devices–because until very recently, computers were expensive. Everything had to be done with a single device that did many things. With computers embedded into all kinds of everyday objects, the shape of computers can change: there can be many devices, each of which does a small number of things.
These specialized devices fall into the category of ubiquitous computing, and designing them is afundamentally different process than designing the software and hardware objects we're familiar with. It requires a combination of industrial design, service design, interaction design and experience design.

Tim Brown and Jerry Rice Think Bill Callahan Threw Super Bowl XXXVII
In the vein of conspiracy theories often suggested by late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, two former star wide receivers of the NFL franchise believe that their head coach intentionally changed the game plan so his team would lose Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003.
On Saturday, former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown — a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2013 — suggested Bill Callahan, the head coach of the Raiders in 2002 and 2003, "sabotaged" the team's chances against Tampa Bay in Super Bowl XXXVII by changing the game plan less than 36 hours before the game. The Raiders lost to the Buccaneers, and former Raiders' coach Jon Gruden, 48-21.
"It's hard to say that the guy sabotaged the Super Bowl. You know, can you really say that? That can be my opinion, but I can't say for a fact that that's what his plan was, to sabotage the Super Bowl. He hated the Raiders so much that he would sabotage the Super Bowl so his friend can win the Super Bowl," Brown said of Callahan, who served under Gruden in Oakland before taking over as head coach.
The claim was refuted on Tuesday by Rich Gannon, the quarterback of that Raiders' team, but former Raiders wide receiver, and Hall of Famer, Jerry Rice concurred with Brown Tuesday afternoon on ESPN.
"In a way, maybe because he didn't like the Raiders, he decided, 'Maybe we should sabotage this a little bit and let Jon Gruden go out and win this one,'" Rice said.
Callahan, who is currently the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, has yet to comment on the allegations.
The event most fans may remember about Super Bowl XXXVII is Raiders center Barrett Robbins, who suffered from bipolar disorder, leaving the team the day before the game and missing the Super Bowl. Rice and Brown suggested that Callahan's change in game plan helped cause Robbins' Super Bowl incident, too.
"With Barrett, he was frustrated, like, 'You cannot do this to us at the last second.' Maybe that's why he decided to not show up," Rice said.
During the game, Gannon threw five interceptions — three of which were returned for touchdowns – and the Buccaneers knew the Raiders' play tendencies and audibles, which went largely unchanged after Gruden left for Tampa Bay after the 2001 season. The Raiders did pass the ball slightly more often than usual, but they trailed by scores of 20-3 at halftime and 34-3 in the third quarter.
NFL Films had a microphone on Buccaneers safety John Lynch throughout the game. At one point during the rout, Lynch commented to an assistant coach: "Every play they've run, we ran in practice. It's unreal."
Neither the Raiders, nor the league have commented on the accusations. Davis, the Oakland franchise's maverick owner who died in 2011, often suggested in the past that forces off the field kept his team from winning games such as the 'Immaculate Reception' playoff loss to the Steelers in 1972 and the 'Tuck Rule' game against the Patriots in 2002.

PRESENCE. The existence of a person in a particular place.
2. In many contracts and judicial proceedings it is necessary that the parties should be present in order to reader them valid; for example, a party to a deed when it is executed by himself, must personally acknowledge it, when such acknowledgment is required by law, to give it its full force and effect, and his presence is indispensable, unless, indeed, another person represent him as his attorney, having authority from him for that purpose.
3. In the criminal law, presence is actual or constructive. When a larceny is committed in a house by two men, united in the same design, and one of them goes into the house, arid commits the crime, while the other is on the outside watching to prevent a surprise, the former is actually, an the latter constructively, present.
4.

The San Antonio Spurs have got to be wondering what an NBA team has to do to earn some respect from Las Vegas.
Apparently routing two-time defending champion Miami Heat by an average of 19 points in the final three games of the NBA Finals to clinch a fifth title in 15 years just isn't enough.
Because the Spurs just did all that, but still find themselves with only the second-best odds to win the championship in 2015, according to vegasinsider.com.
And adding to the insult toward the newly crowned champs, guess which team is the odds-on favorite to be hoisting the trophy after next season?
Yep, the Heat.
Miami has been given 5-2 odds to win the title, followed by the Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder at 8-1. The Clippers (10-1), Indiana Pacers (15-1) and Chicago Bulls (15-1) are next.
The people who make these decisions must be assuming that the Heat's big three -- LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, all of whom can opt out of their contracts this off-season -- will decide to return. But, of course, that would leave Miami with the same star players that just got trounced by San Antonio.
So what do the oddsmakers know that we don't?
Maybe they're buying into the speculation that New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony will opt out of his contract and take his talents to South Beach. The online betting site Bovada gave SI.com 3-1 odds that Anthony will join the Heat and 1-5 odds that he won't. So there's that.
Or maybe they saw the recently concluded season as the last gasp for Tim Duncan and the aging Spurs. Or they realize that San Antonio has never won back-to-back titles.
So much is unknown at this point that there's really no safe bets. Which is why you might as well take a chance and pick Milwaukee to go all the way. Sure, it's pretty risky to bet on a team that won just 15 games in 2013-14, but you can't beat the odds -- 300-1.

It seems there has been an explosion in the number of companies popping up around the world in recent years offering SEO, and SEO related sesrvices. (Search Engine Optimizatipon) .Increasinlgy we are seeing more and more companies offering SEO services which often unrealistic and quite simply unlawful claims of getting your website to the number 1 position, or Page 1, on Google, Bing or Yahoo. As we know from experience here at SEO Spammers Expsoed, there have also been a lot of complaints about 'so-called' SEO companies, many of which send unsolicited SPAM e-mails using bogus western names and Spammy GMail accounts to unsuspecting companies and individuals. SEO
- Avoid Cold Callers Like The Plague.
- Search for SEO in Google.
- Get a Written Quote, a Contract.
So here's the dilemma. There are so many SEO companies to choose, yet conversely so many untrustworthy and in many cases non-existent companies out here, trying to get you business because as we all know, there are definite financial gains to be made by appearing in the first few places for major keywords in major destinations.
Few places for major keywords in major
We believe there are 9 areas to carefully consider when choosing reputable SEO:
Search for SEO in Google
Do a search yourself, enter 'Search Engine Optimization' + Your City into Google and see what comes back. Check the first half a dozen carefully; do they have a list of well-known, branded companies as clients? If so, contact them and check their legitimacy. Do they have an office, we mean a real office and not virtual ones as is the common practivce with Indian SEO Spammers. Are they a real company, do a company search and check. Call them, speak to a sales executive and have them send you information on exactly what they offer. SEO
Avoid Cold Callers Like The Plague
Avoid Cold Callers Like The Plague
Never use a company who 'cold-calls' you, and we mean never! It is also a common practive of Indian SEO spammers to use VOIP service gateways in western countries in an attempt to fool you that they are based in your town, city, state or country. Simply hang up – never buy SEO services from a cold-caller. SEO
Get a Written Quote, a Contract
Ask for a formal written quote. Be very sure what you are signing up for, what are you buying. Don't ever buy a promise of Top 10 rankings in Google, because it simply isn't possible for anyone to make this promise. Get everything in writing, including the timeframes over which the contract lasts. Many scam Indian SEO companies try the $200 per month for 6 keyword trick, and of course when they have done nothing more than submit your site to a couple of dodgy link directories that do more harm than good, come back from another $200 for another -months and so on. Of there are never any guarantees with these spammers. Always check the credibility of any SEO company you are considering using, and understand why they beleive they will do a good job for you. By speaking to a few of their clients as references, you will gain comfort in trusting the SEO company but also ask the length of time they have held contracts with the company, as like anything is they are delivering results it is more likely they will continue to use them. Remember that as with anythingin life, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' SEO

Jeff's lighting usually has a seemingly simple, pleasing quality to it (though there's more going on than we'd think). In this image for the New York Times Magazine, Jeff has managed to evenly light the room and bring out the character of the subjects with 4 lights. To get a better look at the image, click here.
Camera: Canon 1Ds Mark II with 35mm lens, handheld 10 feet back from the subjects. Shot at 1/250, f5.6, ISO 100.
Lighting: It's not easy to light a large room like this, but no prob for jeff. The key light is a white beauty dish at f8, up high and eight feet to camera left, aimed at the juggler's head. The room is lit by an on-camera ring flash a f5.6, which also serves as a nice fill for all the people. A standard reflector at f8 is out of frame to camera left and positioned three feet past the older man. A narrow beam reflector with barn doors at f11 is placed outside the window to camera right and aimed in at the juggler's head, creating the hair highlights and rim lighting on his shoulder. The mountains outside are pretty evenly lit by a cloudy sky, metering at f5.6.
Comments: Jeff brought along a whole arsenal of juggling objects other than the pins: chainsaws, machetes, chickens, tennis racquets, bowling balls, torches, urban axes and legs of lamb. Unfortunately, he never got to shoot with any of them. Early in the day, the juggler dropped a pin which chipped the coffee table. The elderly woman in the shot, who also owned the home, threw a fit and everyone out. She then called her son-in-law to come by with "some glue" and "maybe a pliers" to fix the table before her Texas Hold'em group met the following morning.

One question can change your life. Just ask Joe LaPorte. In the late 1960s, he was standing in the shadows at Memorial Park, minding his own business while his son Dan raced around the bases during a Little League tryout. The coach sidled up to LaPorte with a devilish grin. "Can you help out?" he asked.
LaPorte watched the two dozen boys running around the field. Did he know what he was getting himself into? Probably not, but he rolled up his sleeves and jumped in.
"I said that I wasn't going to be one of those fathers that gets all involved, but then Danny got picked as a nine-year old," said LaPorte. "I didn't even want to get involved."
Two weeks later the coach was reassigned to second shift, LaPorte was thrust into the head coaching role, and it set in motion a career that has changed the town's landscape. There have been countless construction projects, hundreds of fundraising drives, and thousands of meetings. He's spent 30 years on the Board of Park Commissioners and two terms on the Town Council.
His wife Delores was dragged into volunteer work. Even his sons inherited his commitment to develop sports for Southington's youth.
That coaching job set the foundation for thousands of local athletes, and it all started with a simple question posed by his son's coach.
"Joe's the most amazing person that I've ever seen in the community. He's always giving of himself, and he's never afraid to challenge you," said John Fontana, a former classmate, teammate, and fellow park board member. "If he thinks that it's good for the kids of this town, he'll go to bat for them. You just can't stop him."
LaPorte quickly looked past his own players to the many other local kids that didn't have a chance to play Little League. With just two local programs, the competition for positions was fierce. Cutting players was heartbreaking, so LaPorte did what any good volunteer would do. He started another league.
He joined forces with Don Stepanek and Bill DellaVecchia. A small baseball field became available on Mill Street, and the trio scrambled to form a third local Little League. In 1970, the Western Little League opened its doors to create even more opportunities for Southington's kids.
Soon, the league outgrew their small field. LaPorte and DellaVecchia spearheaded a campaign to acquire a parcel of town land on Spring Street to develop a state-of-the-art complex. Armed with just $6,000, the pair began the process of raising funds, gathering volunteers, and building the facility that houses the league today. LaPorte rolled up his sleeves and led the crusade.
"I thought he was retired back in those days because he was always around. I found out later that he was in sales, so he had the time to do it, but every afternoon he was there working," said DellaVecchia. "What can you say about Joe? When he gets into something, he's totally involved. That's what makes him what he is. When he takes on something, he doesn't do it half. He's 100 percent no matter what it is."
It quickly became clear that LaPorte was a great organizer, an excellent motivator, and wasn't afraid to jump in to any project. When his sons reached the high school, they turned to soccer. Once again, LaPorte saw a need for Southington's kids, and he began to talk about it with anyone who'd listen.
"I saw how far behind we were in soccer because we had no feeder program," he said. "Al Lederman was the Superintendent of Schools, and he had a kid growing up. He said that we should start a youth league. We went to West Hartford and sat in on some of their soccer league meetings. We got some ideas, and we started a soccer league in 1975."
It didn't bother LaPorte that he wasn't an expert at soccer or any other sport for that matter. He still champions himself as an all-conference batting practice catcher for his two years as a backup to the backup catcher in the early 1950s. It didn't matter that his sons were too old to benefit from a feeder program. It was a good idea, and that's all that mattered to LaPorte.
"Our rules were meant to get everyone involved," he said. "We shortened the fields because they were kids. We had substitutions, and we played quarters. Everybody had to play at least half the game provided that they went to the practice. There were no championships. There were no standings. There were no all-star games and no banquets. We got criticized. Some people told us that the kids deserved trophies, but what kind of trophy did they deserve? They deserve to play, have a good time, and have good coaching. That's what's important."
The recreational league grew by leaps and bounds on five make-shift fields behind Derynoski Elementary School. The first year attracted almost 180 kids, aged 9-14. The next year, the league swelled to more than 300 boys and girls. The next year drew 400 kids. The fourth year drew more than 600 boys and girls.
"I never expected it to grow to the extent that it did, but I knew that it would grow because we had girls playing and a lot of other leagues didn't allow that yet," he said. "Football was the only game in town, but this allowed our kids another outlet. You didn't really need to know a lot. If you were willing to run and put in the effort, you could play soccer."
It didn't take long for the startup league to outgrow the small facility. On Sundays, it was standing room only from dawn to dusk. Once again, LaPorte's league needed a new home. Once again, he rolled up his sleeves. This time, he was able to secure an old dumping ground at the back of Recreation Park.
"It was just a big pile of junk, but we got it all removed. We got it graded, seeded, and developed," said LaPorte. "The cost to the town was only $20,000, but it took a lot of work. Jiggy Egidio helped me out with the bulldozer. Gene DeRosa lent us a bulldozer, and we did it. The engineering department would come down and give us the grades. Everyone helped out."
Soon a soccer complex took shape with four soccer fields with parking and room for spectators. Bob Swanson was one of the league's first coaches before he took over the reigns years later. He's seen the local soccer program continue to grow with a club house, more fields, a travel soccer league, and a feeder program that helped lift the Lady Knights to a state championship in 2002.
Swanson credits LaPorte as the catalyst for all that followed.
"He was the godfather," he said. "He's just a great guy, and he's very interested in kids. He wants them to have fun and learn how to play a sport. They don't have to be involved in a having-to-win-at-all-costs kind of thing. They don't have to worry about titles or all-star teams or anything like that. He just wanted to form a program where they could learn to play soccer. If they got to a point where they wanted to go further, that's where the travel club came in."
With that project finished, LaPorte turned his sights to something new. Dave Kanute envisioned a wrestling program as a feeder program for Southington's youth, so he turned to LaPorte. Once again, there was no hesitation.
"He's probably one of the best supporters of sports, especially since it's all been volunteerism," said Kanute. "He didn't run paid clinics. It was never to further his kids or anything else. It's easy to get volunteers in kids sports when their kids are involved, but to have parents stay after they leave is unusual. That's Joe. He's a tireless worker. It doesn't matter if it's physical work, organization, or helping to raise some money. When you talk about it and it needs to be done, there's Joe."
That's one reason why LaPorte was drawn into local government. He served his first stint with the park board from 1979-1984. He took a five year break before he was pulled in again, and he continues to serve through the present. LaPorte was appointed as chairman from 2000-2009.
When the town purchased the former drive-in site, town officials turned to LaPorte once again. He spearheaded the project to create an all-purpose field to be used as an additional field for one of the town's midget football leagues. Last June, LaPorte was awarded a CT General Assembly citation for his public service.
"I just want to be remembered as a guy that really loved this town, loved the people that were working for it, and I did the best I could to make this a better town," he said. "I've never been one to attend a meeting once a month and approve the minutes. I've always been involved. Maybe that's one reason why I've been around for so long. I've been reappointed by Democrats, Republicans. It doesn't matter."
With his decades of ongoing service, it was no surprise that committee members selected LaPorte to be inducted into the Southington Sports Hall of Fame as a booster. He will be inducted during a ceremony at the Aqua Turf on Thursday, Nov. 8. For tickets, contact Jim Verderame, (860) 628-7335.
"I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't make it on my athletic ability," he said with a laugh. "I'm honored. It puts me in with a lot of really great athletes, and I never was a great athlete. Being associated with them is a great honor for me."
Of course, without his contributions, many of the other hall of fame honorees might never have had the opportunity.

"Williams's study of Goethe's life and letters is a welcome contribution to Goethe scholarship. By translating all German citations, quotations, and references into English, Williams makes Goethe accessible to the English-speaking audience. "The German Quarterly
"Details importantly formative or influential are mentioned. All examples of significant experience conveyed in his poetry are given in both German as originally written and in English translation. "Psychological Reports
"To attempt a critical biography of a writer of Goethe's stature is no mean task and John Williams has shown that he is more than equal to it. He has provided what must be one of the most scholarly and readable accounts in English of Goethe's life and massive achievement. The style is lively and energetic and the English translations of the Goethe quotations are always apt and remarkably close to the original. This is an excellent book, lucid and penetrating. Dr Williams is to be congratulated on this major contribution to Goethe scholarship and for the infectious way in which he communicates his knowledge of, and love for, his subject."

Coast on high alert ahead of severe storms
Weather forecasters have warned heavy rain and flash flooding could hit the Illawarra this evening as severe weather from an ex-tropical cyclone in Queensland moves south.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued storm and wind warnings for the Hunter, Sydney metropolitan and Illawarra areas today, predicting rainfall of up to 300 millimetres in isolated areas, damaging winds and potential flash flooding throughout much of eastern NSW.
The warning prompted State Emergency Service (SES) Illawarra region controller Greg Murphy to cut short his trip to Taree to assist northern NSW crews and return home. He said Illawarra crews were on standby.
"At this stage the bureau's best prediction is that the severe weather may arrive in the Illawarra late [today]," he said.
"We've been advised of rainfall up to 300 millimetres in isolated areas and up to 150 millimetres across large parts of the Illawarra, as well as the possibility of flash flooding and storm damage due to strong winds.
"We also know the North Coast is experiencing high seas with significant swell, which could also extend down the coast to the Illawarra."
Holidaymakers who are set to head home today along the Princes Highway are also warned to drive to the conditions and allow plenty of time for the journey.
Mr Murphy advised residents to tie down any loose objects around their homes, move vehicles away from trees, keep clear of creeks and storm drains and not drive, walk or ride through floods.
In northern NSW, about 500 people have been isolated by floods.
More than 200 calls for assistance were made to NSW SES yesterday as ex-tropical cyclone Oswald moved across the Queensland border.
Winds of up to 140km/h hit parts of the northern rivers, while in the northern NSW town of Darkwood on the Bellinger River, about 500 people are believed to be cut off.
But while residents have been told to stock up, SES spokeswoman Jessica Chan said there were no fears for their safety.
"The community is quite used to it," she said.
While 53 swift-water rescue technicians were moved to the north of the state yesterday to bolster local resources, Ms Chan said the SES would also be focusing its efforts south today as Oswald moved south.
"We expect conditions in the north to ease after lunchtime [today].
"We are expecting heavy rainfall and flash flooding."
A severe weather warning was issued for much of the state, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning that gusts of 100km/h were forecast for the mid North Coast, the Northern Tablelands, the metropolitan and Hunter today.
