Michelle Obama: "Dig a little deeper"…for our campaign!
While her hubby flies around the Hurricane Sandy disaster zone in South Jersey to look presidential and leader-like on the taxpayer's dime, the missus is getting busy urging supporters to "dig a little deeper" and donate money…to the campaign.
Michelle —
I know we ask you to do a lot, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all you've done — but with six days to go, we all need to dig a little deeper.
Right now, all of the progress we've made together is in danger of being undone. We just found out we're being outraised in this final month by a wide margin.
We've always known this race would be close, and we've always known we'd have to work harder than the other side — the question is, will you step up and do that right now, before it's too late?
Please chip in $5 or more today:
We've beaten the odds before — by coming together and giving all we can. Let's do it again. Barack needs you.
P.S. — Any donation you make by midnight tonight will automatically enter you to bring a guest to Chicago to meet Barack and have front-row tickets to his speech on Election Night.

I think it is definitely a case of they thought they were the top dog and that they could continue their existing business model. This is one instance where the consumer won. Blockbuster made a lot of their money gouging consumers on late fees. Netflix came up with a model in which they thought of the consumer first. I could not be happier to see Netflix win this battle.
Lessons We Can Learn From Blockbuster's Demise
There's a common perception among business owners that adding an online presence to an already existing brick-and-mortar business is a no-brainer.
That's not surprising. Marketing gurus have been touting the power of the Internet for years and given its exponential growth and success, there's been no reason to argue that strategy. But the recent bankruptcy of the video giant Blockbuster has caused many of those same experts to take another look at that philosophy as we try to figure out what went wrong. After all, Blockbuster should have been the easy winner in the video rental war, certainly beating out its smaller — and online only — rival, Netflix. Instead of coming out on top, Blockbuster has been reduced to a case study. Netflix on the other hand, is as stable as ever, currently trading well above $100 per share.
So, what went wrong? Does this mean that going online isn't a good idea after all?
Quite the contrary — having a web presence is still a very smart move and remember, it wasn't the website itself that resulted in Blockbuster's demise. Instead, their fall is being attributed to a number of factors that range from excessive operating expenses to a lack a proper planning to, well...a severe case of complacency.
The truth is, there are a number of things that Blockbuster could have done differently and while your company's fiscal footprint may not be nearly as big, there are still lessons to be learned.
A website is just a website
Simply having a website doesn't automatically make it successful and by the same token, there's no guarantee it can save a struggling business. I can't count the number of clients that have come to me wanting a website, only to become frustrated when they don't see an immediate increase in sales.
Success on the web requires the same research, effort, and attention as your physical location — something that many brick-and-mortar businesses overlook. While Blockbuster's website was certainly more than just a static presentation it was at least for a while, neglected and somewhat painful to manuever. Blockbuster took several years to actually integrate their online offerings with their physical storefront and then discovered after the fact that running such a program would cost much more than they had anticipated.
As a result, they increased the prices of their Total Access program while simultaneously decreasing the benefits, upsetting many of the loyal customers they had in their existing base. Netflix of course, had already figured out how to streamline online delivery and reduce expenses, making them the obvious alternative for disgruntled Blockbuster customers.
Don't just follow the crowd
Blockbuster wasn't just slow to enter the world of online video rental, they also failed to capitalize on their unique selling proposition once they arrived.
With a large and loyal customer base, Blockbuster should have entered the online arena like gangbusters, touting the obvious advantage they had over Netflix — rent online, return at the store. But Blockbuster didn't do that. Instead, they made their grand entrance by copying what Netflix had already done...except that Netflix was doing it better and cheaper.
By the time Blockbuster got around to distinguishing themselves from the competition, Netflix had gained quite a bit of steam, not to mention quite a few of Blockbuster's customers.
A leader can be toppled
But perhaps the biggest mistake in the Blockbuster saga is their obvious reliance on their past success.
For years, Blockbuster was the frontrunner in video rentals and unfortunately, this "can't touch us" kind of success affected their ability to see the bigger marketing picture and thus, the potential threat that Netflix posed.
The world as we know it, is changing. Customers are looking for easier, more effective ways to get things done and technology has been happy to oblige. As a result, companies from every industry are having to rethink their marketing approach, giving serious consideration to the possibility that their biggest rival might not be the competitor down the street, but rather a faceless, virtual store with lower overhead and a clear understanding of how the internet and its users work.
Even law firms and CPAs, industries that were once seemingly exempt from such traditional marketing concerns, must now compete with do-it-yourself software programs and downloadable forms, both of which offer the client the same end result but at a fraction of the cost. This sink or swim ultimatium has become painfully clear: either join the technological revolution or be left far behind.
It's no longer enough to simply offer a set of services or products — you must be diligent in your efforts to show customers why your version of those services and products are better than the alternatives.. even (or perhaps especially) when those alternatives are online, non-personal solutions.
The bottom line is that the marketing gurus were right — you must have a website to compete. But it will be your ability to embrace this new way of doing business — not the virtual real estate itself — that determines your ultimate success.

The other lesson? Don't treat your customers like criminals. As soon as other viable options became available, many of us "talked with our feet". What amazes me is how suprised the business community is ... Blockbusters business policies were ... insulting ... and extremely harsh. Not only was I not suprised by their demise, I was thrilled (and suprised it took so long).
In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
- Theodore Roosevelt
I have to agree with Marc and Melanie and I'll even go a step further. I really don't believe Blockbuster's failure has anything at all to do with a business model or how you go about marketing via the web. Their failure is strictly their own doing, by treating their customers badly. They only have themselves to blame.
I despise Blockbuster and their failure actually brings me happiness. Bitter? Maybe, but they never got the $300 that they had the audacity to bill me for (back in 2002, for only 3 movies), this after the movies were turned in ON TIME. I cannot answer why they couldn't find them, but how does one prove that you actually DID turn them in? When the movies were found ("... in a box in the back), did they send me an apology? Of course not. THAT was their customer service at work, and that is what destroyed them.
I hate them.
In the end I think they could have saved themselves if they offered better video game rentals. Movie rentals were dead but retro gaming was huge, it still is. Many people would pay a decent price to rent games from older systems, Blockbuster instantly stopped renting old games as soon as a new system came out. I have read that online piracy killed Blockbuster, but in actually only accumulated to around 1% of total sales lost in any industry. Blockbuster killed itself.

Nassau County Police Department
Edward Orenchuk III, 23, was arrested Wednesday on accusations of possessing child pornography on his computer.
A New York Boy Scouts leader was arrested Wednesday after authorities found hundreds of images of pornography on his computer involving children as young as five years old, officials said.
Edward Orenchuk III, of Garden City, N.Y., was charged with three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child as a sexually motivated felony and three counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child, according to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office.
Investigators observed Orenchuk making multiple images of child pornography available for download online during August and September, and they tracked the source of those images to his home, said Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice.
Orenchuk himself indicated that he had hundreds of images of child pornography on his computer while his home was being searched, the district attorney's office said.
Orenchuk was an Eagle Scout who served as an assistant scout master with Troop 243 in Garden City. He was employed as a page at the Garden City Public Library.
The Boy Scouts said Orenchuk was dropped from the organization once they learned of the charges, the Associated Press reported, and a library spokeswoman said Orenchuk has been taken off the library's work schedule..
In mid-October, lawyers published more than 1,200 formerly secret Boy Scouts' files online detailing accusations of child sex abuse within the organization from 1965 to 1985.
The documents, known as the "ineligible volunteer" files within the organization, were ordered released by the Oregon Supreme Court. Media organizations had sued for the release of the files, part of a 2010 case in which a Portland, Ore., jury decided that the Boy Scouts were negligent in allowing a former assistant Scoutmaster to associate with the organization's youth after he admitted to molesting 17 boys.
The files, which can be accessed on www.kellyclarkattorney.com, represent reports of Scouts allegedly abused by more than 1,200 different Scoutmasters and other adult volunteers across the country.
Orenchuk faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. It wasn't immediately clear if Orenchuk, who is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, had a lawyer.

It's not easy, but some leading companies have found that the right incentives and collaborative efforts can help their suppliers achieve better environmental performance.
Given how much of the world's manufacturing takes place in China and the damage it has wrought on that country's environment, most analysts expect that multinational brands' supply chains will face increasing scrutiny in the coming years. As nongovernmental organizations heighten their monitoring and the Chinese government enforces new laws to increase transparency and accountability, multinational corporations can expect growing pressure to run a clean supply chain.
For companies, the costs of ignoring problems can be considerable. For example, in August 2011, a consortium of five Chinese environmental NGOs focused attention on Apple, the beloved U.S. technology giant, for using Chinese suppliers with outstanding public pollution violations and ignoring the NGOs' earlier entreaties to redress the problems.1 International headlines soon reported "Apple Attacked Over Pollution in China"2 and "Apple Cited as Adding to Pollution in China."3 Within a month, Apple was in talks with the environmental organizations to clean up its — and its suppliers' — act.
And NGOs no longer just scrutinize MNCs' immediate suppliers. Greenpeace International in July 2011 singled out Nike, Adidas and other major brands for doing business with a big Chinese textile group found to be discharging toxins into a local river. It didn't matter that Nike and Adidas sourced finished garments from the group's cut and sew facilities, not from its fabric factories that most likely released the toxins.4
The Leading Question
How can multinational corporations encourage their Chinese suppliers to improve environmental performance?
- Auditing is not enough; provide incentives for identifying and addressing problems.
- Collaborate with nongovernmental groups and other buyers.
- Learn from your suppliers — and facilitate learning among them.
How can MNCs avoid such embarrassments? Even for high-profile companies like Nike and Adidas, which are ahead of industry peers in promoting environmental improvement in their supply chains, it may never be completely possible. But MNCs can minimize risks in China if they heed the sometimes painful lessons that these and other leading companies have learned in recent years about managing their Asian supply chains.

p>Journal and Courier Online | 2 killed in charity bike ride
Two riders in an Indiana charity ride were killed Tuesday, and another remains in critical condition, after a truck hit their follow van, pushing it into a pack of 10 riders.
The riders were in a group riding to commemorate and raise money for fallen police officers. Gary Martin, a retired Gary, Indiana police officer, and Lt. Gary Dudley of the Indiana State Police died near Terre Haute Tuesday. They were about midway on a 102-mile day that itself was about midway on a ride scheduled to run August 16th through August 28th.
Investigators closed down the road for hours on Tuesday, and are looking into whether the Towne Air Freight truck was speeding. The van was displaying a warning sign and flashing its hazards.
In light of the riders' deaths, the ride is being cancelled.
As it does too freaking often, our sympathies go out to the families of the dead, and to the injured and their families.

Azbuka™ font family
Designed by Richard Dawson in 2008
Dave Farey in 2008
"I wanted to draw a wide range of weights, italic and condensed designs all in one go," recalls Farey, "rather than add on to the family later." His goal was to create a family that could be used for text and display copy, with sufficient weights to provide a broad typographic palette. Indeed, the completed design, created in collaboration with fellow type designer Richard Dawson, consists of twenty typefaces in eight weights ranging from extra light to extra black. The five mid-range designs have complementary italics. Seven condensed designs round out the family.
Azbuka's lighter weights perform remarkably well in blocks of text composition. "They're clean and legible - and perhaps a little boring," says Farey, "but they are perfect for copy with a down-to-earth, yet contemporary flavor." The heavier weights are equally well suited for a variety of display uses. The designs are authoritative but not overbearing and will readily make a strong statement without calling attention to themselves. The condensed weights of Azbuka are ideal for those instances where you have a lot to say - and not much room to say it.
The name Azbuka? It's Russian for "alphabet." And what more appropriate name could there be for this utilitarian, industrial-strength type family than alphabet?
The Azbuka family is available as a suite of OpenType Pro fonts. Graphic communicators can now work with this versatile design while taking advantage of OpenType's capabilities.

A farm bill extension included in fiscal cliff legislation has been approved by both houses of Congress, multiple media reports say. The measure now moves to President Barack Obama, who is set to sign it.
It's unclear when the bill will be signed into law.
The U.S. House of Representatives approved the measure late Tuesday night, Politico reports. The Senate approved the measure in the early morning hours of New Year's Day.
Under the legislation, various provisions of 2008 farm law will be extended into this year, Roll Call reports. Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) says legislators' attitude toward the extension shows agriculture is not one of their priorities.
Among other activity, the extension is expected to keep milk prices in check, Gannett reports via the Des Moines Register.

Pain is like the barking of a dog. A healthy body uses pain to warn of danger or threat. If we acknowledge pain as a natural response and address it in a conscious way, it should naturally dissipate without causing unnecessary suffering.
At times, reasoning tells you that something is impossible, and experience reinforces this conclusion.
Would knowledge that there was a genetic component in polyamory make a difference? Would it make us more tolerant? Would it make it easier to accept?
Meditation is concentrating the front of the mind with a mundane task so the rest of the mind can find peace.
In order not to stray into delusion, we must ask ourselves whether our faith is truly a belief in an unlikely outcome, or a rejection of what we know to be true and possible
Is "faith" not the best word for following an intuition, when confronted by evidence to the contrary?
For decades, I have eschewed faith…Therefore, it surprised and puzzled me…to find that…I possess and profess a quality best described as faith.
It is incorrect to believe that people "lose their religion" with education.
The best of conservatism is recognizing that institutions like legal frameworks, moral codes, and political philosophies are structures that provide support for societies and economies.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed
to those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint." – Qur'an 2: 183
On the basis of astronomical calculations the dates of Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr for the year 1430 AH are established as follows:
1st of Ramadan will be on Saturday, August 22, 2009
1st of Shawwal will be on Sunday, September 20, 2009
Ramadan 1430 AH:
The astronomical New Moon is on Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 10:01
Universal Time (1:01 pm Makkah time). Sunset at Makkah on August 20 is at 6:47 pm local time, while moonset at Makkah is at 6:46 pm local
time (1 minute before sunset). Therefore the following day Friday,
August 21, 2009 is not the 1st day of Ramadan. First day of Ramadan is Saturday, August 22, insha'Allah. First Tarawih prayer will be on
Friday night.
Eid ul-Fitr 1430 AH:
The astronomical New Moon is on Friday, September 18, 2009, at 18:44 Universal Time (9:44 pm Makkah time). On Saturday, September 19, 2009, sunset at Makkah is 6:20 pm local time, while moonset is at 6:36 pm local time. Therefore, first day of Shawwal, i.e., Eid ul-Fitr is Sunday, September 20, insha'Allah.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and
prayers. Ameen.
Ya Haqq!

Maxell's SSB-1 soundbar is by all definitions, a budget product. Combining two 7.5w speakers with a 15w subwoofer, the SSB-1 likely won't send you into a state of awe. But at the same time, it's only $130.
Meant for "smaller TVs," you can use the SSB-1 as a TV pedestal, provided it's under 55-pounds. But the biggest bummer is that it only has 3.5mm miniplug inputs for audio. Those desiring RCA inputs need look elsewhere. The Maxell SSB-1 is available now. [Maxell]

To increase road capacity in the state of Queensland in Australia, the iconic Brisbane Gateway Bridge is being expanded by building a near duplicate alongside. The New Gateway Bridge duplicates the original, matching its pier locations, approach structures and the main span of 260m. It has the largest cross section concrete box girder in the world. The two bridges have to provide a substantial vertical clearance of some 57m. Although the new bridge will add six lanes to the crossing, which is currently a dual three lane highway, it will be 28m wide rather than the 25m of the original. The extra space will accommodate a combined pedestrian and bicycle path with viewing platforms.
The bridges are equipped with seven TENSA-MODULAR expansion joints: 2xLR8 (640mm movement), 1xLR6 (480mm movement) and 2xLR4 (320mm movement) with length of 27.5m each on the New Gateway Bridge, and 1xLR8 (640mm movement) and 1xLR6 (480mm movement) with length of 22m each on the existing Gateway Bridge. All expansion joints are designed and produced to meet the utmost demanding requirements by the project specifications and Australian standards. Requirements on quality control are very strict and comprehensive. To verify the ability of the Modular Expansion Joints to withstand extraordinary fatigue loading, OMV and SPO Tests (as defined in the NCRHP Report 467) were conducted by mageba.

Also, why are they fawning over a chubby woman in the stands? I've seen at least five better just this morning in the audience.
When England lose this match, and Warne takes 10 Fletchers decision to leave Monty out will be equal to, or worse that Ponting & Hussains "We'll have a bat mate". Surely he must go after the ashes.

Clark has been amazing. Accuracy of McGrath but 5-10km/h faster, and a bit more bounce. Warne making Bell look like a tool.

Woe to the guest who mistakes your Lounge Fire fireplace for a comfy bench, for hidden in the middle is a flame producing jet. Who green-lit this pyro project, Mr. Magoo?
Even the rendered photos of this fireplace show fictional living spaces where this fireplace is disguised with plants and boxes. The Lounge Fire folks are seriously not hiding the fact that they'd like this invention to join the office floor trapdoor as items most likely to be found in a mastermind's secret castle.
Still, if you're the kind of host who enjoys giving your guests a lasting impression, this $1,621 fireplace comes in a variety of woods, metals and other materials. The third degree burns are, obviously, completely free of charge. [Sendhen via Born Rich]

"A Willing Participant": Can a Wife Truly Not Know About Her Husband's Cheating?
He then went on to, essentially, blame the victim, suggesting she might be motivated to "participate" in her husband's infidelity due to "lifestyle/kids."
I've got news for all the Jim Carreys out there who consider us "willing participants" – I'm neither willing, not a participant...but there were certainly days when I wondered if I was blind, deaf and incredibly dumb.
I had not a clue. I used to laugh at the fact that the edges of my husband's mouth would twitch if he tried to lie to me, like about who polished off the Ben & Jerry's the night before. Turns out, 12 years of bold-faced lying later, the joke was most definitely on me.
My friend Annie was similarly blindsided to learn of her ex's affair. "I used to think women who didn't know their husbands were cheating were stupid, naive or ignoring it," she says. "I always thought that I would know..." Her voice trails off. She didn't know. It took a phone call from the other woman's boyfriend to alert her. Even then, she was disbelieving. It was only when the boyfriend played an incriminating voicemail recording of Annie's husband that the truth sunk in. It had been going on for months. And she'd been clueless.
But no. We're not blind. Or stupid. Most of us are simply loyal. Perhaps a bit too trusting. We're generally highly principled people who couldn't imagine cheating. (Though I'll confess: I can imagine the cheating part. It's the coming home and looking my spouse in the eye and lying about where I'd been that I knew I could never stomach.) And we tend to think that everyone else operates with the same moral code.
Willing participant? Nope. And, I feel quite certain, neither was Elin Nordegren.

Even though I was suspecting something wasn't right for a good year or longer, and even had a few pieces of evidence that he always refuted and had a good excuse for, it still was totally unexpected when I found out! When I spent an evening talking to the OW, she kept asking me why I didn't suspect something when he would always leave for the weekends......as if SHE was implying I was dumb.......I told her you have no idea how many times we fought over him taking off again for the weekend (excuses: motorcycle trips with his friends, helping his cousin refurbish a room, got in too late off the road (truck driver) and will have to leave first thing the next day so he'll just spend the night at his cousin's instead of driving the 80 miles back home and again the next day, etc.). I look back now and yeah, they were all lies, but I really didn't know for sure at the time. I believed his stories. Why would I not? It's amazing how opposite I feel about it now........ReplyDelete
I was the same. Even when faced with pretty convincing evidence, I still wanted so desperately to believe there was some explanation for it. It's not dumb...innocent perhaps. Naive. But I've always been someone who takes people at face value (or rather, who DID take people at face value). Now I find myself doubting just about everyone...ReplyDelete
I now officially despise Jim Carrey.ReplyDelete
What a complete A$$...
I can promise you this. I will NEVER be that naive again. But that is what it was. I'll even take blind stupidity perhaps. But not once did I suspect because I trusted him and more than that I loved him. I would never do that to him so it didn't even cross my mind that he would do it to me.
I hope he caught hell from folks about that little bit of insanity he had the nerve to post.
I've always adored Jim Carrey. Excuse my French, but F**K YOU, Mr. Carrey! When you sincerely trust someone to make smart choices, to hold true to vows the made to you in front o a priest, or judge, and your families, certain things just simply don't come to mind even when the signs are there. I was in complete denial right off the bat when my husband confessed, I thought he was playing an April Fools prank on me 2 weeks early. Still to this day, 5mths after Dday, I have thoughts that run through my mind like, "this can't be happening", and "he swore he'd never do this", and "I must be stuck in a horrible dream....when will someone pinch me awake". Looking back, the signs were all there which makes me feel incredibly blind, naive and stupid. I remember having a spat in bed one night because he wanted something I didn't want to give him and I made the comment, "if your dick is all you care about, go get IT somewhere else". Little did I know....he was. :( Obviously my comment was not sincere and was said out of anger with feelings of loneliness behind it because at that point, that's how he made me feel, like his satisfaction was all he cared about. My comment was NOT permission, as he may have taken it, rather a cry for affection in other ways.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 8:35 PM
One of the reasons we are trusting and holding true to vows is that the world typically does not give us the same courtesy...I worked for 21 years in a backstabbing corporate environment and wanted to come home to The One Sanctuary I did have and not have to have my guard up 24/7/365...did I know something was wrong? Yes. Did I suspect infidelity? No.Delete
I think a lot of would say the same thing: Yes, we knew something was wrong. But we never thought THAT!Delete
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2014 at 6:22 PM
I knew something was wrong. I used to tell people we were like 2 ships passing in the nite. Yes is make breakfast & dinner when he got home, took care of the finances, & we talked about kids & $ but we weren't really connected. We always say we make a great team but now 6 months post d day we ARE really connected. Then we were just going thru the motions. I don't know if that was a cause of the affair (going thru that child centered stage of marriage) or a result (he withdrew from the marriage because he was spending so much time & emotion on OW).ReplyDelete
So I knew something was wrong but having no prior experience with infidelity I had no idea that's what it was
- CuriousRozeDecember 7, 2017 at 8:54 PM
There's no way I could ever have known. Any time he was with her, it was during lunch time while he was at work. I always knew all his computer and phone passwords and had access to them, but never needed to look through them (or so I thought). He never bought her anything. He seemed stressed, but always said that work was the reason. There really was no reason for me to suspect anything at all.ReplyDelete
I have recently found out (May 2018) about my husband's affair with his married coworker last year. I told the other woman my thoughts and that she needs to tell her husband. I see in this post that one woman discovered the affair from the other woman's boyfriend. The OW's husband still doesn't know about this affair. Is it my place to intervene or to let it be? I've thought long and hard about this, and if I were in his shoes, I would definitely want to know.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so sorry for what you're going through.
It's a tough question but the way I think of it is this: Would you want someone to tell you that your husband was cheating? I certainly wish someone had told me. Of course, it creates potential problems: Will this guy believe you? Will he cause problems for you/your husband out of anger? Is he abusive, therefore putting the wife in physical jeopardy? But...if he's just a regular guy, then I would tell him. A simple: I think you should know that your wife had an affair with XX from Date to Date. Letting her tell him means, of course, that she can minimize or gaslight.
Let us know what you decide to do. It's helpful for all of us to know how others handle these tough issues.
Good luck, MelissaRuns.

The Metacritic tally for Alpha Protocol tells the tale: the game scored as low as 10 points out of 100 based on one review, and nine media outlets scored the game below 50 points according to Metacritic's formula.
According to VG Chartz, the game has sold just 240,000 copies worldwide, including only 100,000 copies in the U.S. despite a nationwide ad campaign that included prime-time television commercials.
"Let's speak very commercially; the game hasn't sold what we've expected, therefore we won't be doing a sequel," Sega West president Mike Hayes told CVG.
Hayes said the concept was strong but admitted Alpha Protocol wasn't an "upper echelon" title. And due to the costs associated with making RPGs, a sequel is not planned.
Sharkey says: Here's to hoping Obsidian Entertainment gets back on track with Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege 3. I was among the gamers really looking forward to Alpha Protocol. I was also among those that reluctantly passed on buying it after reading one critic describe the game as "absolutely dreadful." What did you think of the game?

|Military Grade Geocache
Here you can see it with the primer paint already in place and I am just starting to figure how I want to camouflage it up a bit. The final product will be something that will blend in well with a wooded area.
I have a sneeky suspicion that this one will be hidden up in a tree somewhere. It is heavy enough for easy movement and will make a fun hide depending how I hide the rope.
|A Work In Progress
I am not going to tell everything about this one because I am going to make a rather cool GeoSnippits video out of it and don't want to give away the big twist and final result. What I can say is it is going to be very unique and would make a great project for the kids as well. So stay tuned.
Well that's all for now.. what? Oh my third project that I mentioned... right. That one is really top secret and will blow your mind. I was given the challenge of coming up with a good camouflage idea for a regular sized geocache. I actually have two ideas I am working on. I am sure you are going to love them once I actually complete them that is. Will definitely be future GeoSnippits videos for sure.. So keep checking in. They will be out soon - promise.

Press Release
Alaskans Encouraged to take Advantage of Education Opportunities and Resources to Mark National Consumer Protection Week
February 2, 2007
(ANCHORAGE, AK) - February 4th through the 10th is National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW). This year's theme for NCPW is: "Read Up and Reach Out: Be an Informed Consumer."

Wal King joins Bumi rebellion
Nathaniel Rothschild's bid to gain control of Bumi, the coal venture at the centre of a dispute between Rothschild and the Bakrie Group, may struggle to win support after a major holder sold a 13 per cent stake.
Rosan Roeslani, an associate of the Bakries, sold about 24.2 million shares of the London-listed company to three separate investors, according to a statement yesterday. The sale increases the amount of votes Rothschild will need to win at the Febraury 21 shareholder vote on his plan to oust most of the board.
The voting rights associated with those shares had previously been excluded by a UK Takeover Panel ruling.
The development comes as a commissioner at the OJK – Indonesia's financial services regulator – said yesterday that Bumi Plc may be required to make a takeover of Bumi Plc's Indonesian unit PT Bumi Resources should Rothschild succeed in ousting the board.
''As of yesterday, the voting outcome of these new buyers is still unclear,'' Alexander Ramlie, a director of Bumi Plc, said today. ''The results of the shareholder votes would probably be very tight for either side.''
Bumi Plc was founded in 2010 when Rothschild and the Bakries bundled stakes in two Indonesian coal companies – Bumi Resources and PT Berau Coal Energy – in a $US3 billion deal. Both parties have made proposals to shareholders that would separate the Bakries from Bumi Plc, a move the current board of Bumi Plc is also pursuing.
Shares of Bumi Plc advanced 4.4 per cent in London yesterday to 394 pence. The stock, which slumped 69 per cent last year, has rebounded 43 per cent this year. Bumi Resources added 8.6 per cent to 1,010 rupiah, a six-month high, in Jakarta trading this morning.
