Spotlight Pick:
I have to say, I was bored by the first season of the series. Too much time was spent on board room intrigue instead of super hero action. When they did get to the action the fights just kinda slogged along. I quit watching half way through the series, and only went back to finish it once Marvel's Defenders referred back to the end of Iron Fist.
Finn Jones actually did a great job playing the martial arts based super hero in Defenders and Luke Cage, once he was able to focus on super heroism instead of a corporate soap opera. Now that the show has recruited Black Panther's Clayton Barber to choreograph the fight scenes, there's every reason to believe that the second season will be better than the first.
I love Star Trek. No.... Wait.... I understated that a bit, let me try again. I LOVE STAR TREK!!!!!
I own all the movies and many of the television seasons on Blue-ray. I've attended I don't know how many Star Trek conventions, and collected autographs from a multitude of Trek stars. I even have a variation of Kirk's uniform hanging in my closet. I'm a hard core Trekkie (Yes I use the term Trekkie, the whole Trekkie Vs Trekker controversy is stupid).
When I heard CBS was starting another Star Trek series set in the Shatner as Kirk timeline I was thrilled. Then I heard it would be on their online streaming service and I was less thrilled. After months of fuming and hoping they'd eventually put it on TV, I broke down and joined CBS.COM.
I'm only five episodes into the series and I have to say it's not good Star Trek. I wanted it to be, but it's not. I'm going to watch the rest to see if it improves, but it has some major hurdles to overcome.
Arguably the biggest problem with the series is the tech. OK, I loved seeing the Kirk era hand phasers and communicators again. I think I released a squeal of girlish glee when Michael pulled her pistol for the first time. The problem is that the show takes place a decade before Kirk's five year mission begins, but much of the technology they use looks like stuff Picard would envy.
Rather than talking to people on monitors, holographic images of who they're talking to are projected right onto the bridge. It looks cool, but we're supposed to believe that they went back to 2D image communication ten years later. Holy head scratchers Batman.
Initially, I felt the same way about the spore based method of travel, the show is based on, which makes warp drive look like a skateboard in an Indie race. However, there are hints of enough problems with the technique that it's conceivable that it was abandoned by Kirk's time.
The technology isn't the only bone I have to pick with the show though. One thing I've always appreciated about Star Trek is the ability to watch an episode, get a complete story, come back two weeks later, get another whole story, and not be lost. Sure, watching each week helped you get to know the characters, but you didn't have to know Kirk's role in Spock's mating ritual to watch them steal a cloaking device from the Romulans.
Discovery is structured as a series of interlocking chapters of a single long story. While the novel-esc approach worked well for Babylon 5 and the reimagined version of Battlestar Galactica, it just feels wrong when applied to Star Trek, DS9's Dominion war aside.
Another deficit of the series is the tone. The series takes place during a war with the Klingons. The premise sounds like it'd make a good series, but when everything is about the war, there's no time for exploration. Ironically, the feeling of "discovery," Star Trek is historically known for, is lost.

Coca-Cola HBC's Q2 & H1 Performance by Region
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company has released its Q2 and H1 results.
Half-year net profits jump by 45.2% to EUR95.1m (US$127.1m)
Sales in six months to end of June slip by 5.9% to EUR3.18bn
H1 operating profits climb by 22.5% to EUR164.1m
Second-quarter net profits leap by 49.5% to EUR134.4m
Sales in three months to end of June drop by 5% to EUR1.9bn
Q2 operating profits rise by 33% to EUR193.3m
Coca-Cola HBC has warned that 2014 will be a difficult year.
Coca-Cola HBC has seen a slower fall in Q2 volumes contribute to a lift in profits in its half-year, although 2014 looks set to be a difficult year for the company.
The Coca-Cola bottler saw second quarter volumes fall at a slower rate to the first quarter, when volumes were down by 4%. The company noted an "overall improvement in established and developing markets", while Nigeria also performed well.
The Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Romania and Russia were blamed, however, for driving the 3% fall in second-quarter volumes.
The company warned that it does not expect to see an improvement in trading conditions throughout 2014
The following is a closer look at the company's performance by region.
Established markets
Half-year volumes were down by 4%, with sales by value from established markets slipping by 3%. In the three months to the end of June, volumes dipped by 2%, while sales in value terms were flat.
Volume decline in Italy moderated to mid single-digits in Q2, "in line with our expectations". Coca-Cola Zero saw sales increase by 6%. CCHBC flagged a still-challenging trading environment in the country.
Greece saw volumes slip by low single-digits in the quarter, with half-year volumes growing by low single-digits. "Trading conditions are still challenging, unemployment remains at near-historic highs of 26% and disposable income is not forecast to return to growth until 2015."
Switzerland was down by low single-digits in both Q2 and H1, while volumes in Ireland were up by mid single-digits in Q2 and by low single-digits in H1.
Developing markets
Volumes struggled in developing markets, falling by 7% in the half-year and by 5% in Q2. Consequently, sales in value terms were down by 4% and 4% in H1 and Q2, respectively.
"Volume performance in the (developing markts) segment has been impacted by our strategic decision to focus on value-accretive volume, particularly in Poland and the Czech Republic," the company said.
In Poland, sales fell by high single-digits in both periods, as CCHBC has not yet seen positive trends in unemployment and disposable income translate into consumer spending. In Czech, the company struggled, with high single-digit falls in second quarter volume and a low teens decline in H1.
Hungary, however, posted growth of low single-digit volumes in the two periods. "This is the third sequential quarterly improvement (from Hungary) and the first positive quarter following eight consecutive quarters of decline."
Emerging markets
In the half-year, volumes from emerging markets fell by 2% and by 3% in Q2. Sales in value terms fared worse, dropping by 9% in H1 and by 10% in the quarter. "Positive pricing and package mix were not enough to compensate for the negative impact from currency translation and volume weakness."
A low single-digit decrease in Q2 volumes in Russia contributed to a similar fall in half-year volumes. CCHBC blamed the "current geopolitical developments impacting the economy" for the quarterly performance.
Nigeria volumes were up by mid single-digits in Q2 and by low single-digits in the half-year. In Romania, volumes (-10% in Q2, high single-digit fall in H1) were pressured by a difficult trading environment and competitive promotional pressures.
Ukraine saw volumes drop by high single-digits in the second quarter and by low double-digits in the first six months of 2014. "The current political environment remains very difficult, severely impacting consumer demand," CCHBC said.

Isotropic ferrite (Y10) disc magnets. These magnets are not as strong as the Neodymium alternative but are excellent value for money.
Also known as ceramic magnets, ferrite magnets offer excellent value for money when pull strength is not the most important factor. As these magnets are isotropic they do not produce a magnetic field that is as strong as similar magnets that have an anisotropic alignment. However, their isotropic characteristics mean that they can be magnetised in any direction. Each magnet is magnetised with a striped magnetic north/south magnetic field providing a secure grip. These magnets are perfect for crafts projects such as making fridge magnets out of your own photos or decorative items, or for other creative applications.

Some careers in finance will take you to large investment companies. But some of you may be more inclined to the individual picture. Did you know you have an uncle who can help finance a small business? Uncle Sam, the US government has a Small Business Administration office. They offer many services to educate the small business owner from preparing a business plan to learning how to qualify for government contracts.
When financing is needed for a small business the logical first step is to write a business plan. Even if an owner never shows the plan to anyone else it will help solidify and focus their ideas about the business. Items needed for a business plan will stimulate your brain into learning the reality of the situation and help prompt the answers.
As part of a financing package, a business plan will detail what the company intends to do to produce revenue. Most plans include at least a 3-5 year projection. The Small Business Administration lets you write a business plan on line that can later be reviewed by a mentor or counselor at the center.
More financing help comes from the Small Business Administration or SBA in the form of loans. They do not necessarily give you the cash themselves. They help a small business owner qualify for a loan from another lender. Help them find the appropriate lender. The SBA can also point the owner to venture capital. With many programs available just realize that pertinent qualifications will need to be met.
As a finance expert for a small business owner, you can get financing help and advice from the SBA but will not in all likelihood acquire out right cash. The government is funded by our tax dollars. Offering grants with these tax dollars would require strict compliance and reporting programs. Government grants often help non-profits and educational organizations because this in turn helps communities.
Financing through state and local governments may be available to small businesses. This is on a per state basis and usually requires matching funds. As the finance manager of a small business you can learn there are untapped avenues to explore.

A CO-OP store in St Johns was the scene of a robbery on Sunday.
Officers were called to the St Johns Road shop after three men entered the premises shortly after it opened at around 7.10am and detained terrified members of staff.
One employee had their hands bound by one of the offenders before being locked, along with coll-eagues, in a small storage room.
The intruders demanded money from the safe and escaped with more than £2,500 in cash, a large amount of cigarettes and
a quantity of postage stamps.
The trio, who were all wearing balaclavas, made off in the direction of Warwick Lane and St Johns Hill Road.
One of the raiders has been described as black, tall, of a very heavy stocky build and wearing a large black quilted coat with the hood up, dark blue jeans with worn knees, white trainers and dark gloves.
The second man is described as Asian, shorter than average height, of athletic build with broad shoulders and a slim waist.
He was wearing a black top with silver zips on the pockets and waistband, black trousers, black trainers with white soles and dark gloves.
The third man is either black or Asian and of average height. He was wearing a black coat with the hood up, dark grey trousers – possibly tracksuit bottoms – a baseball cap with a blue peak, black shoes with red stripes on the sides and bright green gloves.
Detective Constable Neil Winter, said: "Understandably this was an extremely frightening experience for the staff, and I would ask anyone who saw something suspicious, either around the time of the offence or the days prior to the incident, to share this information with officers.
"Similarly, I would urge anyone with information as to who is responsible to contact police – any details could prove to be vital in bringing those responsible to justice."
A number of enquiries are being carried out in relation to the incident, but anyone who can assist further is asked to contact Surrey Police on 101, quoting crime reference number 45150108208.

3.) Poor Working Environment
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. It's a daily routine. I touch something in the shop and magically I am covered in grease. I wash my hands and arms as if I am scrubbing in for surgery every time I need to pull a vehicle out. I constantly wipe my hands on rags and wipe my tools off but a single rag is no match for all these grease. Now you call in the chemicals and spray down your tools with brake parts cleaner. Once I get home, my hands and nails are permanently stained with black diesel oil. No, I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty but it would sure be nice if I didn't have to.
The poor working environment goes deeper than dirty hands. All shops are poor environments, but some are naturally worse than others. The most common issues are skin contact with known carcinogens (oils, chemicals), breathing in chemicals and carcinogenic dusts ("Want to snort some brake dust, anyone?"), poor lighting, and imminent danger of bodily harm creeping around every corner.
The winters are cold. The constant opening of garage doors letting the heat out creates moments where you need winter gloves and a coat but other times your sweating getting baked out because the heaters are just blasting away and your leaning over a hot engine. It's even colder when your outside laying under a truck in gravel trying to change a starter motor. You know what I think is worse than the cold? The heat. Summer rolls around producing blistering heat. It always seems to average a few degrees hotter in the shop than outside. So when your working your butt off in a shop that may reach 115F laying over that hot engine that is at least 200FT sweating so profusely that you can hardly see. So your looking at yourself and saying "I am tough, I can do it". That's fine, me too. All of us technicians do.
There are plenty of jobs out there requiring you to risk your life and future or jobs that take place in a hotter more dangerous environment. But is that what you want? If your all gun hoe and still want to be a automotive technician, then just keep reading. Working is such bad conditions should come with great pay, right?

Retire? No way. Couple in their 80's say live every day
New modern townhouse filled with fun -- and art
Ed Reitman loves to look at houses -- in newspaper real estate sections, at open houses and in magazines. Every now and then the 84-year-old gets the itch to buy a new one and he drags his resistant wife, Harriet, to look.
Their most recent move, to Lampasas Terrace near the Galleria, has taken them to a four-story modern townhome. When they bought it, it was a shell, so the couple got to finish it out exactly as they wanted instead of buying someone else's version of good taste.
They hired Marjorie Slovack of Slovack-Bass to select interior finishes and help with art and furniture placement. In the end, the Reitmans only had to move their personal possessions.
The couple met in college at the University of Miami and move to Houston in 1960. Harriet spent her career as a teacher at Spring ISD and Ed earned a PhD and is a clinical psychologist who at one time had his own radio show -- Ask Dr. Ed -- three nights a week.
World travels: On-the-go couple have traveled the world and bought art and artifacts along the way.
Inside there are smart Poggenpohl appliances, new modern dining room furniture and a reupholstered sectional sofa alongside two armchairs and two Ghost chairs. The master bedroom has a drop-down TV in the ceiling and is filled with art by Aldo Luongo.
Patios on the first and fourth floors take them outdoors whenever they want.
While others in their 80's consider downsizing and worry about their health, Ed Reitman does the opposite.
"I got bored with those conversations and said, 'I'm not going to do that.' So I said, 'We're going to live until the day we die.' I believe it," said Reitman, who is 84. "It ain't over till it's over."

There's this thing that happens when I'm trying to come up with the perfect recipe to share with you. I have all these plans to make something healthy and substantial. A sandwich. A salad. Something with a lot of vegetables. But then I go down the candy aisle and come across the dark chocolate and it's all downhill from there. Ok, well, it's not really all that bad is it?
This is what happened. This week on Facebook, I asked what type of recipe you wanted to see on the blog this week. The response I got was that you were sick of all the junk from the fourth of July, and it was time to get back in gear. Less S'mores. More greens. So that was the plan. Up until mid-week when I came across Blue Diamond's Dark Chocolate Almonds at the grocery store. Right then and there, I had to call my wife to help me brainstorm. What healthy snack could I make with these delicious gems? I've seen energy bites all over Pinterest, and I've always wanted to experiment with them, but I've just never gotten to it. I knew these almonds would be perfect all chopped up and scattered throughout these bites.
Let me tell you about these amazing bites of heaven. You've had quinoa by now, right? Quinoa is a complete protein that will both fill you up and give you a ton of energy. If you've had it, you've probably only had it in salads or warm savory dishes, like this one. But did you know that you could turn it into something sweet? I don't know about you, but my sweet tooth goes crazy in the afternoons. I'm always craving chocolate, and half the time that leaves me hanging around the candy dish in my co-worker's office. On top of that, afternoons are the worst for trying to stay awake and productive at work! Wouldn't it be so great if I just had one of these energy bites to get me through the afternoon?! Don't worry, they don't taste like a ball of grains or anything healthy. They taste like a treat. They take care of your cravings, and you won't even realize that you're eating good-for-you-food.
Blue Diamond Almonds didn't contact me to ask me to talk about their product, so this is 100% my own will, and I just have to say it. These Dark Chocolate Almonds are absolutely amazing. By the handful. On top of my morning oatmeal or parfait. And especially chopped up in these Dark Chocolate Almond Energy Bites. I will be keeping these wonderful almonds in my pantry and in my snack drawer at work, that's for sure!
So there you have it: You ask for healthy. I can't stay away from dark chocolate. We compromise, and it's a Win-Win!
Dark Chocolate Almond Energy Bites
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 2/3 cups old fashioned oats
- 3 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Blue Diamond Dark Chocolate Almonds, , roughly chopped
- Combine almond butter, peanut butter, and honey in a small saucepan. On medium heat, melt the mixture down to a thick liquid-like state, stirring constantly. Once melted down, remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine cooked quinoa, oats, chia seeds, and chopped dark chocolate almonds in a large bowl. Add the almond butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Once completely combined, take about 2 Tablespoons of mixture at a time and squeeze tightly in your hands before rolling into round bites. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. When mixture is all rolled out, place in the freezer to set up.
- About twenty minutes before eating, take out of the freezer to soften slightly.
Instead of Blue Diamond's Dark Chocolate Almonds, feel free to use chopped almonds and raw cacao nibs. When rolling the bites in your hands, get your hands wet every couple bites and they won't stick quite as badly.

I must say -- I didn't see this one coming.
"2001: A Space Travestry" is every bit of a corny laugh it was shaped up to be -- A shake and bake comedy with little laughability, and aged humor. REALLY aged humor.
This is one of those kinds of films that you KNOW you have to stupidify yourself before having watched the film -- A requirement which I fulfilled by immediately guzzling a liter of Smirnoff. 5 long minutes, and twenty jelly beans later, I'm drunk...and watching this movie.
*an hour and a half, and a bad movie later*
Man, for the love of God, that movie needed boobies. It was rated R -- but for WHAT? Silly little oral sex jokes??? You've got to be kidding me. My cat spews out more obsinities than this travesty -- pun, by all means, intented. There is not a single harsh word -- Not even a single nipple -- IN this film. I would have paid someone to switch out the film with a GOOD bad movie, like "Leprechaun 4", or something -- A film which, most likely, used the same crew. Dear God.
BUT, somehow...I liked this movie. It was effective at making a drunkard laugh, and laugh I did. Laugh at what, I do not know -- But I do recall laughing (or maybe it was the alcohol...maybe it still is). I've always wondered though...If people still set out to make parodies (and this wasn't really a parody, although I was hoping it was -- on "2001") -- I mean, specifically BAD parodies, does it make them "good" if they suck? Most people set out to make good films -- and if they succeed, then that film is rightly deemed "good". But what about those of us who set out to make bad films...purposely? If the goal is to make a bad film, and a "BAD" film is what results -- Do they cancel each other out and make a "good" film? (Just say no, because NO is the answer.)
Everyone must be in the mood for a bad film -- I must admit that I miss the old days when all my buddies and I would gather around the tube for "crappy movie night." At those times, the "Carnasaur" films were King, and we KNEW what a good bad movie really meant. So, by all means, "2001: A Space Travesty" has it's clever moments, but overall fails to be as "bad" as "Leprechaun 4" -- or any of the "Carnasaur" films. Not even Leslie Nielsen can save this boat (although the two female costars caught my drunken attention on many occasions). Allan A. Goldstein's directing was fairly passionate, however, I will give him that much -- In the business of making "bad" films, one would HAVE to be passionate about the genre, or else you're totally doomed. He never let up on the wacky action...EVER. Maybe that was the problem.
Or maybe I'm still drunk.
...Anyway, this movie is interesting to say something about it, if anything. It's certainly not worth your money, though -- and there's a reason you've probably never heard of it. Perhaps, if it's a late night and nothing else seems to be happening, give this film a rent and see what the heck I'm talking about. But don't forget the beer, and try to have a member of the opposite sex in your presence -- just incase the film's (lack of) sex scenes begins to dull your mind.
BTW, the fart "scenes" at the end of the credits are the funniest thing in the whole film.
There's not too much to be said about the video presentation within this film or DVD. Quite honestly, I was impressed with the actual quality of the colors, and the transfer was blemishless. At times I felt as if I were watching something on television -- Not in terms of quality, but in terms of how the scenes had been set up -- It was like watching the original "Star Trek" series all over again. No scenes -- minus the first and climax scenes -- were specifically "cinematic" in nature, and thus, we're subjected to another visually boring film.
Despite being an otherwise blemish-free film, one little error jumps out anyway: A few quick shots reveal heavy film grain, which is quite noticable, but ultimately livable in the end. I wish I could dig up more dirt on this film, but I can't find any...The video quality is decent.
Oh, and the special effects were actually good too.
OH BOY, I'm going to LOVE this part!!!
Number one: What good is Dolby Digital 5.1 if your sound is OUT OF SYNC!!!? At about the half way point in the film, I began to notice that something was off kilter. Minutes later, I discovered that the sound was actually out of sync by about a half second. I admit, I got over it, and immediately tried to block it out of my mind, but there it was again -- lips moving, and the words coming out too long afterwards.
I don't know if I can forgive this, but I don't know who to blame. Somewhere, either in editing, or in the transfer, the sound went out of sync and stayed out of sync. I made sure that my player was working correctly, and even switched players, but to no avail -- it was flat out out of sync.
Supplements? What supplements?
Trailers to a few other films like, The Animal and "Joe Dirt"? Are you kidding me?
A documentary about the making of this film would be BETTER than the movie itself! Come on, where's the 'making of', people?!?!
"2001: A Space Travesty" is fun for about 45 minutes, which isn't TOO bad considering every other minute is okay. Get drunk, invite friends over, and hope that you might have a good time.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlet Cavusoglu earlier addressed the US president's warning of "economic devastation" should Ankara target US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria, saying ties and collaboration with "terrorists will lead nowhere" and calling the US to showcase respect for his country.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump discussed by phone the creation of a security zone in northern Syria "based on the principles of the country's territorial integrity", according to a statement by a Turkish official.
"Our president held phone talks with his American counterpart Donald Trump. They discussed bilateral relations and events in Syria," Erdogan's office said in the statement.
A rift between Ankara and Washington further intensified following Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's announcement last week that Ankara would kickstart a military operation east of the Euphrates River if the US failed to withdraw its troops from the Arab Republic in due course. Separately, he called for the United States and all other countries to shoe due respect for Turkey:
"Cooperation with terrorists will lead nowhere. May we remain hungry, without food and water, but we will do everything that is necessary. The United States and all other countries should show sufficient respect for Turkey", Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlet Cavusoglu pointed out, however assuming that Trump is "under great pressure, so that he doesn't withdraw troops from Syria."
Ibrahim Kalin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesperson also addressed the recent comment by the US president, in which he threatened to "devastate Turkey economically" if Ankara targets Kurdish forces in Syria as well as suggested that "a 20-mile safe zone" be created to resolve the issue.
"It is a fatal mistake to equate Syrian Kurds with the PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party], which is on the US terrorists list, and its Syria branch PYD [Kurdish Democratic Union Party]/YPG [Kurdish People's Protection Units]. Turkey fights against terrorists, not Kurds. We will protect Kurds and other Syrians against all terrorist threats", Kalin stressed.
In the meantime, Turkey continues to prepare for a military operation east of the Euphrates River in Syria that will start "at the right time for Ankara," as Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar put it late last week. The military op threat was also voiced earlier, in mid-December: after a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump on December 14 Erdogan said that the start of the operation would be postponed, while Trump vowed to withdraw the troops at the time.
Two NATO allies, the US and Turkey, faced a huge stumbling block in their relations over the Kurdish issue, as soon as the US voiced its support for for Kurdish militants, who have been battling Daesh* in Syria. Turkey, meanwhile, considers the YPG to be affiliated with the PKK, which is banned by Ankara as a terrorist organisation, which it believes to have been behind a failed coup attempt in the country in 2016.

So…how hard do you want to work for some sad cash?
216 thoughts on "Money Laundering…"
Bad dog!!! Mushrooms and now money! lol
ONLY Forrest Fenn could feed dollars to a dog, allow the fragments to be nibbled on by mice, sweep up everything that was not totally digested, place it in a baggie and sell it for 100% (or much more) profit. I would be honored to go into business with this 86 year old gentlemen any day!
The story doesn't say he fed the money to the dog, nor that it was nibbled by mice. Would you be so kind to explain your thoughts more clearly, please?
Sure. In jest I said "fed" simply because it was handy for the little dachshund (I assume) to "eat" (tear) them. Then, because of extensive experience with -all kinds- of animals, I can tell that was not merely dog teeth marks carving up those bills. Leaving the only question in my mind, "Which came first, the dog or the mice." Did Forrest misplace these bill in a box in a shed or something? Maybe the mice fed the dog??? In any event, ff gave it some thought and his Midas touch with marketing and we will see a happy conclusion for some charity!
Dirty Cash… 🙂
Nice try, Forrest. We all know that's part of the DB Cooper stash!
(Someone was going to make that joke. 🙂 First!)
LOL AH hahaha!!
Bid jump to 29$ …not me, I'm out. I have to have my big gulp cawffee from Starbucks in the morning.
Dand 41$… this shouldn't take too long, unless Tom Brady is playing…
52$ Do I hear 60…C'mon 60
96$… who's gonna go 200?
It's now at $96. Going to be fun watching.
Someone name z***z s bidding against themselves… is that you Jake?
Seeker, they're not bidding against themselves. That person put in their highest bid and others tried bidding, but the "z***z" person's bid was higher for each bid that was placed. Hope that makes sense.
102.50$ .50$ really? must be someone from CC.
"The dog just swallowed my money. Quick, what's the number for $911?"
Bid now at $911.
lol Jeremy! 🙂
That Ziploc of torn up money has been in my desk and forgotten for maybe eight years. I figured that since it's so cold outside, and people are getting tired of playing Canasta, I'd offer a distraction. The hardest part will be devising a system to put the pieces back together. It was not easy for me but I was never accused of being patient. If the sale makes a profit it will all go to charity. f
Play canasta. Atlas can pay Mr Fenn?
That is kind of you to do so, Mr. Fenn.
Oh how fun! I love puzzles. Unfortunate my funny little cats have ended my jigsaw puzzle days. I'm in!
All I will say is that I'm impressed!
There's got to be a Ben Franklin joke in there somewhere.
A vacuum table might help with the reassembly, but will add to the overhead.
well, THERE'S a fun way to pay those overdue parking fines
Will it cover yours? 🙂
what exactly are you implying, pdenver?
can't afford the fines anyhoo, so I'm a very good boy when the 'smokeys' are close by 🙂
I'm glad to hear this, curious hobbit. 🙂
Now there's plenty of GAS money.
Kinda related. So on that yellow pad note from Peggy in SB 107….first note says "get gas." Now, one perspective is to think she means put gasoline in the car tank. Another is to think she means for Forrest to eat the leftover chili in the fridge. Beans, gas, yes unless bean-no. Why do 99% of searchers assume there is no leftover chili? Chili is a staple in Santa Fe.
Ok, time to place my bid.
Get it…. the floor, maybe 10
My granddaughter taped six pieces together but soon rolled her eyes and fled the scene.
Who rolled the dice?
Indeed, who?
While I see where ya went with snake-eyes, how does that relate to the poem? There's no dice in poker… no dice in canasta…which you "meld" cards to a matching set, or sequences of ascending cards belonging to the same suit known as runs.
Maybe the connection here is more to… why is it " I " must go? 'fled the scene'
In the poem 'i' in stanza one might be different to 'i' in stanza 5. Either way both i's are gone or going…
Just more thoughts.
"The hardest part will be devising a system…"
Is it simple straightforward with no subterfuge in sight? Lol.
I have a strict rule against buying cash from Ebay sellers with zero feedback lol…
Too funny, Mark. 🙂
I think we were writing at the same time, Pdenver! Ha!
Didn't you and I do this before? 🙂
I think so! Are we supposed to say jinx or something when that happens?
There's that and another one the kids use to say. At least my kiddos did. 🙂
Haha, that's funny, Mark!
As you already know, I'm just dumb enough to try. Luckily the CFO of Flannel Town wouldn't approve of a bid over $23 since we are still considered a sanctuary city.
Did Tesuque die? Nothing funny about that.
Disregard. Saw Mr. Fenn's entry that the dog in question passed over 8 years ago.
Dad burn it when im
My most brokest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to go sell something !!!!!!!! And open a ebay account arghhhhhhhhh Anyone wanna buy my traveling chair the ole
Coot signed hahahhaha
I'm on a tight budget too DG with no prospects on the near horizon. Want to pool our money? I'll do all the work and split 1300 with you equally. I need some distraction, it would be a beautiful relief!
Any takers to go in on bidding together to ensure success?
I better pass this time Was a nice offer tho thank ya No
Money to spare right now
This reminds me of when I lost my wallet last summer. I was traveling from Durango to Denver to hostess my parents' 60th wedding anniversary party and was distracted. I didn't realize my wallet was missing until I was in South Park. I was panicked, my daughter was annoyed, and I drove 90mph to return to my last pit stop, which was in Buena Vista. After searching and searching I finally found the wallet, mostly sub-merged, in the blue waters of a porta-potty. Surrounded by all kinds of flotsam and jetsam. You can only imagine! To my daughters' horror and dismay, I reached right in to those semi warm waters and fetched my wallet. I figured it was my only choice. Replacing your identity is not easy these days, and the inconvenience of bleaching the credit cards and washing and ironing the bills was nothing compared to hanging out in the DMV for a day. Talk about a nasty HOB! But hey, it all turned out ok. I'm really careful now…except I just lost my favorite ski glove down the outhouse at Purgatory. I didn't go after it. I think outhouses/porta potties probably have a lot of hidden treasures.
BTW – Iron Will is really gonna go crazy now….let the fun begin! FF, I think you are a rascal.
"But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just eat the cash and go in pieces".
Funny Thank you Sparrow!
Do you get along with blackbirds singing?
Sure. I've always loved the Beatles song "Blackbird". 🙂
Wish I had some petty cash in the till. But with 5 children, my pockets are always picked clean.
Makes me wonder what the "something special" in the treasure chest for the finder may be…….kinda scary.
We'll see Feb 16th, if I won!
Hilarious! What a treasure!
"What is one man's pile of $$$, is another man's treasure!"
If I win the bid I'll bring the stash to Fennboree '17
~ Wisconsin Mike
Yowza Id have to have gloves a mask and vicks vaper rub under my nose lol
Wisconsin mike, I guess we are bidding against each other?
.."best to have gloves" 🙂
Ok, that's it…I'm out at 800. That's enough for #2 searches! Guess if I did win it, I'd have + $500 more…but, with 9 days left to bid, I have a feeling the purchaser wants it for a treasure and not the dough! Good luck, who ever is bidding,! Sorry I bid you up another $200, but hey, it's for charity! I've got a Fenn Milagro, so I'm happy!
¥Peace ¥
51 bids as of 10:30 pm pacific time. Since it's for charity and has 9 days left I estimate that it will sell for more than the $1300 face value.
$2025 and still 9 days left, Wow! 🙂
Hello, All.
Does this mean we can add money laundering to Forrest's already impressive resume? 🙂
The winning bidder will be a lucky person…at any price.
The crappy work is already done. :/
haha ..LOVED the money laundering joke, JC
( ..Sicilian much?)
Wow. A jigsaw puzzle. Reminds me of a poem I read somewhere. 🙂
$h!+ happens! , we ironed things out. (Sniff)(sniff) is that BBQ I smell?
oh my, I assume BBQ crow will be served?
I am not a betting woman, so my prediction is it will reach ….
Geez …. what a clever way to interact and raise money at the same time.
And …Sandy B. you one tough cookie.
Suggestion to Forrest, Next time you go to the bank get a bunch of ones, unless your dog prefers the taste of bigger bills.
His dog aint got cheap taste ken
There has to be a a lesson here.
Forrest is so successful…… even his dog craps money !!!!
I would rename the dog buck haha
whole new meaning to funny money…
Who would ever have thought that dog poop would become part of the chase?
I always knew the puzzle meister had a sense of humour! 🙂
That's funny Vox… I didn't even give your solve a second thought… what direction was **it pointing again?
The right direction, Seeker!
current bid…$1320.89
Why spend 1.300 to piece together 1.300 cant be no hint in that money the ole coot wouldnt give someone a unfare advantage But great that it goes to charity
I really think there is a deeper message in the Ebay auction. I am starting to think he is talking about someone. Uhg, I have been in the chase way too long.
He is talking to everyone saying unscamble and match the pieces He is makeing it a rat race were all getting close to the finish line he is making it more thrilling
Yes, but who is crazy _____?
Heck we all are after this many years of racking our brains
SB 107? Subtle hints in the book are not deliberately placed to aid the seeker? Need to know where to start? Need to start at the beginning?
Diggin, do you think this is a 1300 $ hint?
Maybe he's saying follow the money… Something special in the chest for the finder…"Oops, I forgot, there is one thing in the chest that I have not talked about except to say I don't want to talk about it. It is something saved especially for the person who solves the clues."
Yes i think its a hint but for everyone not just the one who gets the crappy ripped up money lol he is saying organize the clues people and hurry up Diggin gypsy is almost to the finish line !!!!!!! He is trying to help everyone get on my shirt tale Hahaha But im
A kicker And i can think however i wanna think
Well, diggins… maybe ya lookin too far south? There's a SB [ if i recall correctly ] of a coin. A story of a woman in the book who joined a journey. A place of birth and a double U with a date… just food for thought.
Harambe-shaped Cheeto reaches bid of nearly $100K on eBay.
I guess some folks have more money than brains
WOW 1320.89 and still 9+ days to go. Too rich for my blood. HAVE FUN ALL JDA
My wonderful boxer ate a few remotes, couple chairs and my Costa sunglasses when he was 1 or so. A friend said Costa would replace them free for incidental breakage. Cost 10 dollars and sent them away. They returned in 10 pieces 10 days later and said it wasn't incidental. They were on the counter not floor i explained. All 100 lbs of my dog stays in the house. Funny how things changed. First thing I did when we got him was to build a nice big dog house in the back yard. He wasn't going to be an inside dog I said. 8 years now and he hasn't slept in it yet.
Hmm…dogs eating money. It's all becoming clear now…
BTW, whats interesting is that he created a new account for that sale when he could have used his existing eBay account. He's been selling items from his collection including the dolls for a long time, why make a new account to sell torn up bills.
It was $1,300 made up of 12, $100 bills and 2, $50 bills.
It was turned into 247 pieces, 10 of those were swallowed and pooped out by his dog (and cleaned I assume by Fenn).
Maybe these are coordinates?
Lets try one:
1. 85.7% of the cash are 100's, and 14.3% are 50's.
2. 85.7% of 1300 is 1114.1 and 14.3% of 1300 is 185.9
3. Converted to Longitude: 111°41'18.59″W
Only one state is within that longitude, and it is Montana. 111°41'18.59″W is pretty darn close to Cameron MT where Fenns mom died
Ok, so using 237 (clean pieces) and 10 (dirty pieces) we need a latitude. 🙂
LOL, I need to get some sleep before trying to do math!
I'm going to guess he created a separate so as not to mix business and pleasure. Forrest Fenn dealer of antiquities and fecal laced currency.
Maybe he created it as a joke to bust chops on all the people who suggested he might be DB Cooper.
Watch, next week he will auction a parachute! LOL
Oh my! How wonderful it's going to charity. I guess the dog wasn't bad after all. 🙂
I brought the spray starch.
Oh my gosh! I'm surprised it went this high, but pleased that it has.
What? …$2025?!
right then, I'm going to buy some gloves and a dog immediately!
how much does $1300 cost again?
LOL good one Bert. Ummm… $1,300 dollars cost around thirteen hundred dollars.
thanks IW, now all I need is $1300 🙂
..does anyone wanna buy some gloves and a brand new dog for $1300 so I can.. oh wait! – that's not gunna work either
darn it!! 🙁
Only Forrest could double the value of the $1,300 he accidentally destroyed! Way to go Forrest! I hope you quadruple the original value of those bills! Hilarious.
hahaha,mr. forrest,I can't believe people are actually bidding on your torn up money,Think,i'll go do my monday wash,love you and ms.peggy.
24 7 pieces? That's for 6th graders. Forrest you should have ripped up a few more pieces to make it a 1000 or 1300 piece puzzle. Then hidden it in the mountains north of Santa Fe. Just kidding but piecing that together is the exact kind of thing I enjoy. Most people don't have the patience to stick with it. I once found a combination lock in the desert with 3 tumblers that had numbers from 0 to 9. I decided to go through all the numbers until I figured out the combination. 001, 002, 003, etc. Wouldn't you know it the combination was 996. It took a few hours but I enjoy that kind of stuff. Nowadays I just try to solve million dollar treasure hunts and trying to crochet a project with perfect stitches. Whoever wins that bidding war, send the pieces to me. I'll piece them together for you for free. Just include a pair of gloves please because some of those pieces still look a little…brown.
What's on your hook? I once made a doily that took over 80 hours to make. Got a grand championship with it.
PS…good idea to ask for gloves. : )
The problem:
It was $1,300 made up of 12, $100 bills and 2, $50 bills.
247 pieces, 237 on the floor and 10 were swallowed and pooped out.
The math?
85.7% of the bills are 100's and 14.3% are 50's.
85.7% of $1300 is $1114.10 and 14.3% of $1300 is $185.90
96% of the bills were on the floor, 4% were swallowed and released from the back door.
Can we assume the dog chewed the twelve 100's and two 50's evenly?
Dog chewed $1,152 and recycled $48 of the twelve 100 dollar bills
Dog chewed $96 and recycled $4 of the two 50 dollar bills
The result?
Total money chewed by the dog: $1,248
Total money swallowed and released from the back door by the dog: $52
Can these numbers be turned into latitude and longitude? Hehe

Lucky.major fenn.
Very successful auction. For the amount of profit you could make for whatever cause…why not come out of retirement and hire a person to work each end of the dog. Let me be the first to apply for the position at the front end. 🙂
King Midas…. the bid is above $2200 and climbing.
The Home of Brown finally reveals itself…
Truly, a heavy load for the young tyke.
But now I understand why Forrest says: So why is it that I must go? I don't blame you Forrest. A task only for the Brave….
voxpops vindicated. I will say no more.
Fellow Treasure Hunters I give you Fair Warning, the Chase is all about having FUN – it's all poops and giggles until someone actually giggles and (accidently) poops. Forrest has always said stay out of the MUD and he means it. voxpops is a genius. 🙂
You're very kind, Mike, but in reality it's called tenacity. I also like a smattering of imagination with my logic.
I've been thinking…
If all our thoughts for each clue were put on the table,
they would look like F's pile of money!
What if, JDA'S state was right,..
And Seekers WWWH was correct,..
Amy got the canyon correct…
I got the HOB right,..
Iron Will got…
Well, you get the picture.
Then throw in a few brown stained pieces, like the idea it was at a TX golf course, or the clues were sprinkled hundreds of miles apart…
You've got the poem solution sitting in front of you on the table!
Just piece together all the correct ideas to form the solution!.
I'm sure all the correct solves for each clue has been said (or whispered) on this blog, at least once or twice. They are poo-poo'd, ignored, argued over…
Maybe it takes all of us to come together
and find it. Maybe, F is trying to get that mssg across, or maybe his dog just crapped some money and he had a fun idea.
¥Peace ¥
Wait Whaaat!?… I got wwwh correct?? WhIch one?
Sorry…smiley faces don't work! 🙂
Love it – JDA
I think Mr Fenn is saying we will have to trudge through s**t and conquer all obstacles, and may get our hands dirty, but if we are patient and piece the puzzle together we will reap the rewards and come out smelling like a rose.
Scraps —> s-craps………….I won't look at table scraps (leftovers) the same way anymore.
Great way to support your favorite charity Mr. F.! This auction is way out of my league for the moment. Perhaps after……..
Generally speaking, I was more than a little lost at first, but then I thought what a wiseman told me (my 3rd grade teacher) when I was little, a junior pinatubocharlie. "Open your mind, take a deep breath, have a bowl of soup, and rember to relax."
I took his advice today and even found a can of Campbell's Chicken Soup to complete the journey. And it worked too. Thank you much, and you're not going believe this, but his name was Mr. Rogers!
After this is over maybe we should reevaluate what the chest is worth. There is obviously a premium on fame.
Ok I'm entertained
What a fine addition to the collection of even the most discerning buyer.
Or a pugnacious one.
Or like f would spell it, a pug-nau·seous one.
Cash is printed on mildew food. Use it or lose it.
I just noticed ebays "more items like this" below the poop dollars. On my screen, at least, ebay seems to think if I would like these pet scanned currency I might also enjoy:
2 separate listings for unusually shaped Cheetos
Someone's voice for $900
A Hungarian man whose selling a hug for 80k
A picture of an alien girl
50 lbs of original Oreo cream filling for 3k
another Cheeto
….and other fine fine wares!
Check it out for a smile 🙂
"someones voice for $900"? – that could be handy!
(my voice often lands me in trouble 🙂 )
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
But I have not yet found Forrest Fenn's hidden gold.
Lol! Brilliant!!
There are 9 clues in my last post…… 😉
Dos Equis must be your favorite beer !
"But I've never been to university" is the original title of this entrance essay. Give credit where credit is due.
I have to say i like your
Imagination usually i quit reading peoples coments if there longer than 2 lines your captivated me
Stay thirsty my friend.
This guy. 🙂
Loved it – JDA
Best post ever!
That's good.. but not quite Carling..
That's great. My biggest accomplishment is having a personal name for each of the 7,221 ants in my Ant Farm. You definitely have me beat.
Encore.. Encore
Nicely done, and a high five, proof that every dog has his day. Therefore, 2 reasons to smile, the humor and the charity. That poor pooch was pooping green, best cut back on that expensive fiber.
The Seller has a '0' Feedback score. (No prior history on EBAY). Too many Bidders of the poo-poo bills show '0' as their Feedback score as well.
Maybe that's what friends are for? Hope I'm mistaken.
Anyone notice how the price was driven up by new ebay accounts, seems like some shill bidding going on.
If these people are unable to pay, Mr. Fenn has options available to him. It would be unfortunate if these people cancelled others out whom might have been able to bid. I'll have to have faith in humanity, without it, it would be an ugly world.
This is an opinion, offered as a thought.
are you implying that he should throw them off a high bridge in concrete boots? ..sounds like it.
tsk tsk – I worry about you, pdenver
No need to worry. Our friend is fine!
thanks SL
so I can return my worry-beads to the safety of there velvet lined box?
(phew ..they were getting quite the work-out for a minute there 🙂 )
No concrete boots.
Accepted, my friend. Keep your faith.
I will, my friend.
I'm not getting notified of new posts! 🙁
If any of this were a hint of some general area I am going to guess Cache Creek in Yellowstone.
Michael, do you mean Cache creek and Cache peak SE of Jackson?
Saw a post on Chase Chat that the auction has ended. It's gone from eBay.
I wonder why?
It's possible there were fraudulent bidders/bidding. This is one of the options that was available to Mr. Fenn for such situations.
I don't believe that just because a person never brought anything on ebay, having 0 feedback, makes them a fraud.
I hope there is a more reasonable explanation than that.
Looks like the shilool0 account is gone too.
My comment should not have been considered as such. If it has, my sincere apologies.
My comment wasn't directed at you personally, pdenver. I just hope Forrest had a better reason , thats all.
No hard feelings I hope.
No hard feelings, eaglesabound. There are many possibilities to why this has happened, and I believe Mr. Fenn had a very good reason to do so.
I thought your comment was entirely valid.
It's a mystery (so far) as to why the auction was pulled, but scam-bidders could very possibly be the reason.
I suspect it broke a few eBay rules, and someone may have complained. It certainly featured a lot of new and zero-feedback bidders! I doubt FF's worried – it had the desired effect. Of course, Forrest may have decided to pull it himself.
eBay does not put up with shill bids, and it looked suspicious due to only the new accounts bidding it up.
We will never know for sure, ebay is not a fun playground. It was funny while it lasted though.
forrest should put it up for bids here on Dal's site!!! That could be a good way to raise money for a charity, or better yet do a raffle and sell tickets so that everyone could have a chance. $5 dollar tickets would go pretty fast I would think, I would be good for a couple. How about it Dal?
It would be nice if he would make known the intended charity, or person needing the charity if he decides to post the item for auction again.
I wouldnt want to bid on something that was going to the aid of some searcher known only by blog comments.
Now I will happily bid for cancer charities and most all children charities .
Staying tuned …
I want those ratty looking pieces of money…they may demand a good price in the near future…just as they are.
So, Ken, I made a real and honest $1300 offer. How about you?
Or anyone else? Got to have some integrity here and keep your word!
You guys are great stepping up to the plate like that, but I really don't think this is about cash at all. FF has other fish to fry (or pooches to poop).
I agree, he put it there for other reasons. All the numbers ($1300, 12-100's and 2-50's, 247 pieces, 8 years, 10 out of 247 were pooped out, etc).
Can't wait to see if he sells a parachute next (just kidding, I don't believe the DBC crap).
He's probably thinking, sure beats the heck out of watching, dancing with the stars. He is probably having a hard time looking that dog in the eye too. lol
I'll see your 1300 and raise it 200
Show me some integrity LMN…
I was triggered by the word "Laundering" in this thread and I knew that I saw something in Yellowstone that would fit somehow into that theme…IMO it is west from where I think WWWH probably is.
Queen's Laundry Bath House
The Queen's Laundry Bath House is a ruinous structure in Yellowstone National Park. The log building sits on the edge of the Queen's Laundry thermal feature in the Lower Geyser Basin. The water at this location is somewhat cooler than the norm, allowing early tourists to bathe. Begun by Yellowstone park superintendent Philetus Norris, the bath house was intended to have two rooms and a dirt-covered roof, but was never completed. Begun in 1881, it may be the oldest extant park visitor structure in the National Park Service system.[2]
The ruins are located near the western end of Sentinel Meadows on a travertine mound formed by Queen's Laundry Spring…
that's a great one Michael…
I would be happy to pay ff $1600 (to go to Charity) for the bag of bitten bill bits. It would be nice to hear from the Billsmith (ff) to know if he agrees with this process and will part with the pieces.
Can I get a refund for all of my seat except the edge….. since that's the only part I seem to be using?
I am standing on my head now…getting dizzy! I am patient though.
While we wait… Anticipate
Definition: Look forward to, counting the days until; "enthusiastically awaiting it's arrival" Informal; licking one's lips over… ?
What a great song! And Forrest sure does like to keep folks waiting.

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has dealt Manchester United and Real Madrid a transfer blow.
Much of the Blues' summer transfer window has been dominated by potential outgoings as Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois have both been linked with moves to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Another player whose future at Stamford Bridge has been up for much debate is Willian. The Brazil international's relationship with former manager Antonio Conte deteriorated during the second half of last season thus prompting speculation he could leave this summer.
Barcelona reportedly had three bids rejected which saw them turn their attentions to Malcom and even with the appointment of Sarri the 29-year-old's future remains up in the air.
A reunion with Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford has been widely touted and there were false reports last week that a deal had been agreed between the two clubs.
The transfer saga took another twist when Willian reported for pre-season training later than expected.
This was as a result of passport issues delaying his return to the UK until Wednesday and now following talks with Sarri it would appear that the winger is set to stay in west London.
"I spoke yesterday with him about him being late, but not his future. It was a very positive conversation and I am very happy about it. I think there is not a Willian problem."
Then when asked if he thinks Willian will stay, the Italian said: "Yes I do. Very confident."
Sarri's comments very much echo that of Willian's stance when he addressed speculation about his future earlier in the week.
"I am very happy at Chelsea and I am very happy living in London," he told Globo Esporte in Brazil , as reported by the Daily Mirror.
Willian could now make his first appearance of pre-season against Manchester City at the weekend in the Community Shield as last season's Premier League and FA Cup winners meet in the traditional new campaign curtain-raiser at Wembley.

Let's Get Dignified, Dignifiedby Tammy Shaklee, Relationship Expert and H4M FounderOct 29, 2013
When it came to dating, I personally never spent one minute on the internet to find my special person. Instead, I would listen to single gal pals talk endlessly about how much time it required. As a busy executive, I did welcome others to set me up on blind dates, but they didn't. So I hired an offline matchmaking service. And that is how this all began.
In today's technology driven world, it's the latest app that has men finding action, but often leaving them sad and alone and still wanting a real relationship. I hear repeatedly how the app often hurts the heart, but can also kill hope.
Can one separate the occasional hook up – with – the search for true love? You might be surprised to learn not only of my opinion, but of my advice to my clients and potential clients. Almost daily, I share the words, "We don't judge based on immediate gratification. We simply ask that you please be healthy, happy, and safe. I want you to be at your best when I hopefully introduce you to the perfect man for you."
In the last couple of years, I often feel that I am riding the wave of true acceptance, understanding, and support of the LGBT community. I'm in awe of the younger generation growing up with these qualities and values instilled in them since birth. I believe my generation feels like we've come so far, especially in recalling the too common prejudice and naïve ignorance of the older generations. Progress. It warms my heart to feel progress, daily, weekly.
Researching and designing a matchmaking company exclusively for gay men seeking a long-term relationship I feel is progressive, and my personal part of the movement. My goal has always been a trend toward more traditional introductions, courting, and dating for gay men seeking a long-term relationship. And in the research phase, I kept returning to the words "dignified, private, quality, sophisticated." I deserved that back then in my search for the man who now is my husband. And you do too. It's okay to get physical. But it's okay to also want emotional. A real relationship. He's For Me is the opposite of the app. But it's not stepping back in time, it's progressive. It's the future. And I hope it's in yours to find yours.

Leaders of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee announced this week they have agreed in principle on how to proceed with the next federal surface transportation authorization bill, the successor to 2012's MAP-21. I also have the usual roundup of links on the future of the Highway Trust Fund, state activity on transportation revenues, public-private partnerships and tolling and state multi-modal strategies.
The federal Highway Trust Fund is expected to run out of money even earlier than expected this summer, according to new data released this week. That's likely to make it even tougher for Congress to come up with a funding solution in time and it has many in Washington and around the country concerned about what would be an unprecedented situation for state transportation programs. I also have the usual collection of links to items on state activity on transportation revenues, public-private partnerships and tolling, and state multi-modal strategies.
President Obama this week proposed a four-year, $302 billion transportation bill that he said could be partially funded through a corporate tax overhaul, a plan Congressional leaders have already said is unlikely to gain traction this year. He also joined a chorus of voices warning that hundreds of road and bridge projects around the country could be stopped in their tracks if Congress fails to renew the Highway Trust Fund. Meanwhile, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp offered up his own plan to rework the tax code this week, which he believes could yield $126.5 billion to fund infrastructure investment. I also have updates this week on state transportation revenue activities, public-private partnerships and multi-modal strategies.
The benefits of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to the nation's infrastructure were touted this week as the 2009 federal stimulus package turned five years old. Meanwhile policymakers and analysts continued to express concern about future federal and state infrastructure investment both in Washington and state capitals.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee this week heard testimony from a variety of transportation stakeholders, many of whom said they would like to see an increase in the federal gas tax to fund transportation. Meanwhile, despite evidence that 2014 may not be as big a year for state transportation funding as 2013 was, a handful of states moved forward this week with efforts to seek new revenues. I also have this month's roundup of updates and links to my Top 5 Issues for 2014.
Hopefully many of you have had a chance to dive into my recent post on the Top 5 Issues for 2014 in Transportation. It's part of a series across all our policy areas here at CSG that has become a popular annual feature. The expanded version of the transportation list (which I have newly updated this week) includes extensive links to related articles and resources from throughout 2013. Now with nearly a month of 2014 under our belts, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at those Top 5 issues through the prism of the New Year and the transportation stories it has generated so far. I have updates on MAP-21 reauthorization and the future of the Highway Trust Fund, the legacy of MAP-21, continuing state activity on transportation revenues, the evolution of public-private partnerships and states and communities working on finding solutions for a multi-modal transportation future.
State capitals were where the action was in 2013, with six states approving significant revenue packages and a number of others setting in motion plans for 2014, when the activity is expected to continue around the country. Some of the attention now shifts back to Washington as Congress must again consider legislation to authorize federal transportation programs and decide what to do about the dwindling Highway Trust Fund and as the legacy of the 2012 legislation, known as MAP-21, is cemented. Meanwhile public-private partnerships, which have helped some states fund pricey transportation projects and weather fiscal uncertainty in recent years, will likely continue to evolve in the year ahead. All this as officials at all levels of government and other stakeholders continue to seek approaches to ensure the vision of a multi-modal future for communities and commerce is realized. Here's my expanded article on the top 5 issues in transportation for 2014 and a wide variety of additional CSG and non-CSG resources where you can read more.
The CSG Transportation Policy Academy in Washington, D.C. got underway October 28 with a transportation-focused bus tour hosted by the Maryland Department of Transportation. The tour included a stop at the future site of the Takoma Park/Langley Transit Center (now the site of a Taco Bell) and a briefing on plans for the Purple Line light-rail project, an innovative transit public-private partnership. The tour also stopped at Mid-Pike Plaza in the White Flint area of Montgomery County, where a mixed-use, transit-oriented development is under construction. Attendees also traversed the length of MD200, the Intercounty Connector as MDOT officials discussed the financing and operation of the two-year old toll road that connects Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Below is a compendium of presentations and handouts from the tour as well as additional reading on some of the topics discussed.
I have a new Capitol Research brief out this week looking at the "Changing Face of Transportation Revenues." In it, I talk with university research professors and other transportation experts about the strategies states have pursued this year to fund transportation investment. In honor of the report's release, I thought I'd pass along a few updates on what's happening in a few other states. I also have updates below on tolling, public private partnerships, infrastructure conditions and performance measurement.
While 2013 has been a big year for states considering and approving new transportation revenues, there are signs that a number of states are still struggling to figure out how to pay for maintaining their infrastructure. There's a plan in Texas to convert some drilling-affected roads to gravel. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania has started posting weight restrictions on some of its bridges. I also have a number of other recent items below to catch you up on the last couple of weeks and provide plenty of reading material through the long holiday weekend.

Another busy festival weekend!
Meanwhile, Neil will be making the trek eastward to Asheville for their Brewgrass Festival. Tickets are sold out again for the millionth year in a row, but for those of you lucky enough to be going, you know you are in for a great time. Unlike some festivals, the Brewgrass Festival is staffed by the brewers themselves, pouring you the beer and telling you all about it. The music is usually amazing too.

you will definitely get a medal for Sue. I can feel it. I will look for you guys at Saturday's session and watch you get gold for Sue.

Did I call it or what? Congrats on the Silver! I like Alaskan, but I like SUE even better. I bet the scores were razor thin

Congrats on the silver for SUE. I've been having fun steering people from the homebrew boards I frequent over to your booth. Though they have liked SUE, many have liked Sly Rye even more, and the consensus is that the Hop Project you are serving is the best of the lot you are serving. One quote:
"I thought Hop Project was amazing. Hop project was 100+ IBUs, but it did not taste bitter at all. I wanted to ask the brewer how he pulled that off, but he wasn't there when I was, and the volunteers had no idea."
Question: what Hop Project are you serving out there? Is it the one at the Tap Room right now? I haven't been to the Tap Room in several weeks, so I may need to make a trip this week!
Again, Congrats!!! Well deserved...

Ireland is among the top ten foreign direct investors into the US, while 12 per cent of all US investment into Europe goes to Ireland. For decades, Irish operations of US companies have been at the heart of the success story of US companies. Many have chosen Ireland as a home for their European and International headquarters to service global markets. With an ever-changing geo-political landscape, the importance of Ireland as the 'gateway to Europe' for these companies has never been greater. Post-Brexit, the US business community will be looking to Ireland as an important pro-business voice in Brussels. With these developments taking place, the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, generously supported by Matheson, Aer Lingus and The Irish Times will hold its inaugural Transatlantic Conference on March 7, 2019, to focus on the dominant themes and key emerging trends in the transatlantic economy. Hosted at the Croke Park Conference Centre, Dublin, this important platform will welcome expert speakers from both sides of the Atlantic, discussing issues such as Brexit, global leadership, transformative technology and cybersecurity. The American Chamber will bring together leading US companies investing in Ireland, Irish companies investing in the US, senior academics and government officials to lead the discussion on these key issues. Among the keynote speakers will be Wall Street Economist, Joseph Quinlan, who will present the latest statistics on bilateral trade, US investment in Ireland and Irish Investment into the US.

This is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful light and reflexes!!!...I like it so much!!!
A hug, my friend!!! ;)
Love the reflections you've captured!
What a beauty. My friend from http://www.essay-writer.club/ said that this lake looks like a mirror. What a beauty our nature create. That's amazing sight.
Gorgeous shot,Laura..just gorgeous.
