I never really "got" Telecasters before. But I'm starting to feel there's a Tele-shaped gap in my life.
I've got a work interview on Friday morning to keep my job in a restructuring/redundancy situation. So I've decided that, if I keep my job, I'll get a Tele to celebrate. And if I don't, I'll get one as a consolation.
The logic seems pretty solid to me.
Hope you keep your job and get a Tele.

The reasoning is impeccable and it's a logic I've applied many times! Works a charm!
Best of luck tomorrow. These situations are always stressful. I hope it goes well.
Apart from my old Gretsch, a Tele is probably the only guitar I couldn't do without.
Hey, thanks for the good wishes...!
We can give you a note to hand in if you want.
"BJG145 must keep his job. Signed: the SOS Forum."
No one would dare question that.
And I'm getting close to the point of setting up my 90's Fenix Tele with new strings and a new nut nut too. A good Tele, well set-up, is an incredibly versatile tool. Every guitarist should have one (at least).
When you see a fork in the road, take it.
A Telecaster is the Transit Van of the guitar world. It might not always be the best choice for the job but it'll have a go at doing pretty much anything you ask of it.
Good luck with the work interview... Hope you keep your job!
If you're in any way strapped for cash, I recommend the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele. Squier get a lot of bad press, but really, the Classic Vibe plays better than a Fender MIM, and is less money. The reviews on YouTube are glowing and I can vouch for them personally, having one myself.
Best guitar I've owned yet!
Absolutely go for the Baja if its priced similarly second hand! But if the OP can't get a hold of one, or would rather go new, I'd say Squier is the best in the £300-£500 price bracket.
A Tele is on my list as well. I have a Blade Delta, which looks like a Telecaster, but doesn't really sound like one (although it still sounds very nice), so I feel that's a good enough excuse.
I had a Blade Delta and while it really wanted to be a tele it never did it for me. Sold it and got my Baja. Love it to bits!
Good luck with the job, just coming out the other side of that shenanigans myself so I feel your pain!
Your logic is impeccable and a Tele is something that should always be available. I wasn't a fan of them for quite a while, well, actually that's not right. I was a fan of them, I just couldn't get them to sound good, but I have plenty of proper-guitarist mates who can make them sing.
One of my projects this year is going to be to take apart my b@stard project tele and rebuild it properly - it's only a cheap kit but I think there's a nice guitar in there somewhere.
It's interesting to hear the comments regarding the Baja Tele. I bought one last year and I'd agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments but there are other, guitar centric, forums out there where the Baja gets slated for its pick ups / pick up switching plus anything else that you can name.
If you do go for a Baja it's worth noting that there are two specs. 50's (like mine) which has a meatier neck and the 60's with a slimmer neck. I haven't tried the 60's version (I think that most of the 50's are Blonde / Maple neck and the 60's Sonic Blue / Rosewood style neck). I believe that the pick ups are also different.
Fender have been constantly updating the specs of their Teles and Strats over the past couple of years, so today's 2019 models are probably very different from a 2017 model.
I'm not sure I've liked what I've read about in the reviews in the way they've changed the pickups in a lot of the models, but I'd still go and check them out a wide range of them for yourself if interested in a new one. The recent changes may have altered things that you once found hard to get on with in a Tele to ones you now like. Or vice versa.
I personally find that Teles need to be matched with the right amp, in order to work properly, so for me, using the right amp's half the battle.
Got mine new in 2008 and have since swapped the stock electronics to higher quality stuff and traditional telecaster switching. I could not be bothered with the original 4 way switch serial configuration thing. The bridge pickup is pure godly tele twang and grunt! The neck pickup (Twisted tele) is a more open and stratish sounding affair than a traditional tele neck pickup. I bought a mini-humbucker to replace it as its a combination i would fancy but I have not gotten around to get the body rerouted to accommodate it. And the stock pickup does that strat neck sound pretty damn good.
And the neck is the chunky fat 50's one... a right log!
Edit: I changed the bridge saddles for compensating ones to get better intonation.

Well my Baja sounds great in all amps it's gone through.


Everyone is conscious of the importance of a house alarm system and the way you must protect the interior of your home, but your method will not be total till the exterior is tackled just as thoroughly. Why would a prowler at any time maintain heading when your exterior system seemed impenetrable? Probabilities are he would never take it to the next degree, so you can do your self a favor by heading hefty on these tactics. Chalk them up, one by one, till your exterior is a model of efficient house security.
There are many benefits of getting an alarm system. The advantages we know are the possibility to monitor anybody or any car getting into your driveway, monitoring swimming pool action, monitoring any suspicious action, monitoring particular action, and much more. From all of the fantastic benefits, we conclude that it is very great to have driveway alarm methods at house.
What is amazing, under $20 you can have peace of your thoughts and security in your house.I individually liked how simple it can be installed and how the "driveway alarm patrol " does exactly what I require it to do. It was no mess installing it, no extra devices had been required, just a screwdriver. Then this small device is wi-fi and covers honest variety, more than in actuality is required. If you location it cleverly outdoors, it is invisible. It gives out small chimes when somebody is approaching your house.
One form of gadget you can install is an alarm system. There are a great deal of various kinds of alarm methods you can choose from. Some are linked to a call center that will contact you to retrieve a password once it is activated. There are others that are not connected to a call middle and will simply emit a loud audio in hopes that neighbors listen to it and inform the authorities.
Magnetic Probe Sensors – These are fantastic, they only detect moving steel so no untrue alarms from animals and so on. They are buried beside your driveway to shield them so they are not broken by automobiles, snow etc. Only lightning will cause false alarms. The one con is that they are the most costly of all driveway sensor types.
Finally, if you are not comfy with the door-to-doorway salesman, do not allow them into your house. Some of these marketers can be very intense, especially while the economy is bad. It is feasible that their earnings is a commission of their revenue, so they will stop at absolutely nothing to attempt and get you to buy what they are selling.
Personal security for you and your family members is a large problem, Now with drugs and the economy the way it is burglar's function in the daytime. If you are a stay at home mom you would want to know before the UPS or the thief gets to your doorway.

The music club is inviting the public to its open jam session on Tuesdays. The club provides the opportunity and equipment for aspiring musicians to develop their talents. The atmosphere is music-friendly and extraordinary.
This semester, the music club will be jamming to an eclectic variety of musical styles with some in Spanish. They include a saxophone duo, songs from Cee Lo Green and Whitesnake along with a ballad from a Nightmare Before Christmas, according to Zlabinger.
Level of experience with music does not matter. Members of the music club accept anyone, whether a beginner or an advanced musician.
Brianna Maxwell, a Sociology major, attended the club for the first time and enjoyed it.
"I like how all the musicians have chemistry together and it flows, and it always sounds good," said Maxwell.
Omar Feliciano works at the biology lab and enjoys the rhythms of the guitar, drums, and piano.
The session starts at 12 p.m through 2 p.m in room LL01 of the Academic Core Building. Interested musicians and artists are invited to visit the club or email Zlabinger at tzlabinger@york.cuny.edu.
Cardinal Studios is a club that is meant to provide students with a space to learn about and create music tracks and beats.
Ashton Webb, the president of the club, said that she joined because of her passion to produce beats and work with fellow students to make music oriented projects.
The songs were produced by Webb and another student. Nito sang a few songs called Playing Games and Path I Choose.
"Everything was mixed and mastered and it's all on streaming platforms," said Webb.
There is a lot that Cardinal Studios offer everyone because the lab has at least 20 computers and two recording studios.
Cardinal Studios will be having various events this semester. Expect a beat battle between two DJs where the producer will be the judge. The event will be in April in the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center.
The Cardinal Studio will also be a part of the York College Arts Festival this semester.

Michael O'Donoghue
Michael O'Donoghue (January 5, 1940 - November 8, 1994) was a 20th century writer and performer noted for his dark and destructive style of comedy. He was born in Sauquoit, New York.
O'Donoghue's greatest recognition came as a writer for the National Lampoon during its glory days and as writer-performer on Saturday Night Live (SNL). On SNL he appeared as the grim character Mr. Mike, who favored viewers with comically dark Least-Loved Bedtime Stories such as The Little Engine that Died. He also wrote the Star Trek spoof that was such a tour de force for John Belushi.
He also appeared on SNL in the persona of a cliched, Vegas-style impressionist who would pay great praise to showbiz mainstays such as Michael Douglas and Elvis Presley, then segue to impressions of the entertainers shrieking as if needles had been plunged into their eyes. These impressions are believed by biographer Dennis Perrin to stem from O'Donoghue's real-life agonies from the chronic migraine headaches which plagued him throughout his life.
During his years at SNL he shared Emmy Awards for outstanding writing in 1977 and 1978. In 1979 he produced a television special for NBC (featuring most of the SNL cast) called Mr. Mike's Mondo Video. Because of its raunchy content, the network rejected the program and instead was released as a theatrical film. O'Donoghue returned to SNL in 1981 when the new executive producer Dick Ebersol needed an old hand to help revive the faltering show. O'Donoghue's volatile personality and mood swings ensured that he would for more than a year. His first day on the show he started yelling and screaming at all the cast members, telling Mary Gross that she was as talented as a pair of old shoes, and forcing everyone to write on the walls with magic marker. The only one he liked was Eddie Murphy, because Murphy wasn't afraid of him. The most memorable sketch O'Donoghue created during this short-lived tenure was a spoof of the old Superman Bizarro world (where up is down, death is good, happiness makes you sad, etc.) set in the Ronald Reagan administration. He used real details and plans from the administration in a hilarious showcase of what he considered the insanity of that Presidency.
He had small parts in the 1979 movie Manhattan, the 1987 movie Wall Street, and the 1988 movie he co-wrote, Scrooged. It is worth noting that O'Donoghue loathed the theatrical release of Scrooged, insisting until his death that he and co-writer Mitch Glazer had written a much more brilliant film, far in sensibility from the popular mainstream film that was produced.

US reality star Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson have broken up after nine months of dating.
The couple split sometime this week because their busy schedules "made it really difficult to maintain a relationship," sources close to the celebrities reported.
Kardashian, 41, who has 328 million followers on Instagram and 73 million on Twitter, began dating Saturday Night Live star Davidson, 28, after the two performed in a skit together on the show in 2021, sharing a kiss.
They made their relationship public in March this year, around the same time when Kardashian, who also has a clothing and cosmetics line, finalized her divorce with rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye.
Kardashian and Davidson were seen together at many public events, including the Met Gala in New York in May, where Kardashian donned the famous dress worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy at an event in 1962.
But the relationship was clouded by Ye attacking Davidson on social media and imploring Kardashian to reconcile.
Kardashian filed for divorce with Ye last year after months of press reports about marital strife and as Ye battled with mental health issues. The two are now co-parenting their four children: two girls, North and Chicago, and two boys, Saint and Psalm.
It was the first divorce for Ye and the third for Kardashian, who came to fame with the US reality TV series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which followed the lives of her family members in Los Angeles.
After her breakup with Davidson, Kardashian's fans wondered what is next in store for her.

Dave competed in no less than 5 events on the one day. He kicked off with a PB in his first event, the 400m freestyle, picking up a silver medal in the process. In the 50 and 200m breaststroke he took bronze medals. He came fourth in the 50m butterfly and fourth again in the 50m freestyle with another personal best time of 30.30.
Dave is amongst a growing number of top level Masters who represent our club, not only in specialised Masters events, but in league galas too, such as the Herts Major League. Watch out for Pam Ware, a European top ten contender, who will be swimming for us in the Open category of the National League.


The Bosch Rotak 34 R Corded Rotary Lawnmower is a fantastically designed, practical and well constructed piece of technology that has many different positive features to provide an appeal for a wide audience.

Searches for Pulsar Planetary Systems
T. Joseph W. Lazio, J. Fischer, James M. Cordes
Journal: Symposium - International Astronomical Union / Volume 213 / 2004
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2017, pp. 101-106
Print publication: 2004
The first extrasolar planetary system was discovered around the pulsar PSR B1257+12, and the planets therein remain the lowest mass exoplanets known (with one whose mass is of order a lunar mass). Pulsar planetary systems will remain the only extrasolar planetary systems within which terrestrial-mass planets can be detected for the near future, and multiple pulsar planetary systems would provide strong circumstantial evidence that terrestrial-mass planets are ubiquitous, and possibly information about the formation of terrestrial-mass planets. We summarize two searches for planetary or proto-planetary systems around pulsars. The first is a series of infrared observations of millisecond pulsars in which the objective is to detect (proto-planetary) disks. The second uses a genetic algorithm—a function optimization method based on evolutionary processes in the natural world—to search for the signatures of planetary perturbations in pulse timing data.
Consumer's Guide to Regulatory Impact Analysis: Ten Tips for Being an Informed Policymaker

Journal: Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis / Volume 8 / Issue 2 / Summer 2017
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 July 2017, pp. 187-204
Print publication: Summer 2017
Regulatory impact analyses (RIAs) weigh the benefits of regulations against the burdens they impose and are invaluable tools for informing decision makers. We offer 10 tips for nonspecialist policymakers and interested stakeholders who will be reading RIAs as consumers.
1.Core problem: Determine whether the RIA identifies the core problem (compelling public need) the regulation is intended to address.
2.Alternatives: Look for an objective, policy-neutral evaluation of the relative merits of reasonable alternatives.
3.Baseline: Check whether the RIA presents a reasonable "counterfactual" against which benefits and costs are measured.
4.Increments: Evaluate whether totals and averages obscure relevant distinctions and trade-offs.
5.Uncertainty: Recognize that all estimates involve uncertainty, and ask what effect key assumptions, data, and models have on those estimates.
6.Transparency: Look for transparency and objectivity of analytical inputs.
7.Benefits: Examine how projected benefits relate to stated objectives.
8.Costs: Understand what costs are included.
9.Distribution: Consider how benefits and costs are distributed.

T. Joseph W. Lazio, James M. Cordes
Journal: International Astronomical Union Colloquium / Volume 177 / 2000
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016, pp. 39-40
A radio pulsar in the Galactic center will suffer 350 seconds of pulse broadening. An imaging search for compact sources is far less desensitized by angular broadening than a periodicity search is affected by pulse broadening. We have conducted an imaging survey of the GC using the VLA and have detected approximately 200 sources. Six compact, steep-spectrum sources have been identified; additional compact sources with no spectral information have also been identified. Additional observations are in progress.
Interstellar Scattering in the Galactic Anticenter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016, pp. 329-330
Interstellar scattering dictates the limiting resolution for many pulsars and OH masers and some extragalactic sources, a limit made more important by the advent of spacebased VLBI. Scattering observations have been biased toward the inner Galaxy, leaving largely unconstrained basic parameters such as the scattering medium's extent in the outer Galaxy. Ionized gas at ~ 50 kpc is suggested by the appearance of H ɪ in nearby galaxies and models of low-redshift quasar absorption systems. We combine multiwavelength, VLBA observations of twelve extragalactic sources with previous scattering measurements of extragalactic sources and pulsars in the anticenter and constrain the radial extent of the scattering medium to 20 kpc, comparable to that of massive star formation. The H ɪɪ disk does not display significant flaring or warping, though this conclusion may reflect the coarse sampling.

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radio wavelengths. In this paper we present VAST, an ASKAP survey for Variables and Slow Transients. VAST will exploit the wide-field survey capabilities of ASKAP to enable the discovery and investigation of variable and transient phenomena from the local to the cosmological, including flare stars, intermittent pulsars, X-ray binaries, magnetars, extreme scattering events, interstellar scintillation, radio supernovae, and orphan afterglows of gamma-ray bursts. In addition, it will allow us to probe unexplored regions of parameter space where new classes of transient sources may be detected. In this paper we review the known radio transient and variable populations and the current results from blind radio surveys. We outline a comprehensive program based on a multi-tiered survey strategy to characterise the radio transient sky through detection and monitoring of transient and variable sources on the ASKAP imaging timescales of 5 s and greater. We also present an analysis of the expected source populations that we will be able to detect with VAST.

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 March 2013, p. 57
The discovery of a pulsar or pulsars orbiting near the Galactic Center (GC) could offer an unprecedented probe of strong-field gravity, the properties of our galaxy's supermassive black hole and insights into the paradoxical star formation history of the region. However, searching for pulsars near the GC is severely hampered by the large electron densities along our line of sight and the scattering-induced pulse broadening of the pulsar emission observed through it. As the broadened pulse length approaches the pulsar period, the periodicity in pulsar emission becomes nearly undetectable. Searches extended to higher frequencies, in an effort to reduce scattering, suffer from reduced intrinsic flux, higher system temperatures and increased atmospheric opacity. We are currently attempting to mitigate the challenges associated with searching for pulsars near the GC by employing new wide bandwidth receivers, upgraded IF distribution systems and novel digital spectrometers in a GC pulsar search campaign at the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, USA.
Our search will cover two frequency bands, from 12-15 GHz (Ku Band) and 18-26 GHz (K Band), during a total of approximately 30 hours of observations, with expected characteristic 10-sigma sensitivities between 5-10 micro-Jy. Our first observations are scheduled for mid-March 2012. Here we will present the status of our observations and initial results.
Late-Emerging Common Waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis) Interference in Conventional Tillage Corn
Joseph C. Cordes, William G. Johnson, Peter Scharf, Reid J. Smeda
Journal: Weed Technology / Volume 18 / Issue 4 / December 2004
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017, pp. 999-1005
Waterhemp has emerged as one of the most problematic weeds in agronomic crops in the Midwest because of an extended germination period and widespread occurrence of biotypes resistant to atrazine and sulfonylurea herbicides. However, the competitive effects of late-emerging cohorts on corn yield are not known. Field studies were conducted in 2001 and 2002 at Columbia, Novelty, and Albany, MO, to determine the effects of late-emerging waterhemp interference on corn growth, nitrogen (N) accumulation, and yield. Waterhemp emerged approximately 20 d after planting (DAP) and was treated at heights of 8, 15, 23, 31, 38, or 46 cm with directed applications of dicamba + diflufenzopyr followed by hand hoeing. Soil water status, corn leaf chlorophyll content, and corn and common waterhemp height were recorded at the time of waterhemp removal. N stress was detected with a chlorophyll meter at four of six removal timings at high waterhemp densities (362 or more plants/m2) but only at one of six removal timings at lower densities (82 or less plants/m2). Water stress was observed at five of the six removal timings at high densities but at none of the removal timings at low densities. High waterhemp densities reduced corn yield when allowed to reach 15 cm before removal, and yields were reduced 36% when not controlled. At low densities, yield losses did not occur unless waterhemp was allowed to remain with corn season long. Our research suggests that waterhemp is less competitive with corn than redroot pigweed, smooth pigweed, and Palmer amaranth. In addition, low densities of late-emerging waterhemp would not warrant removal to protect corn yield.
5 - Differential taxation of nonprofits and the commercialization of nonprofit revenues
By Joseph J. Cordes, Burton A. Weisbrod

Foreword by Kenneth J. Arrow
Book: To Profit or Not to Profit
Published online: 30 November 2009

As the nonprofit sector has grown in economic importance, so too has its reliance on income obtained from a variety of commercial activities – that is, activities involving the sale of goods or services. Because commercial income earned in the nonprofit sector is largely, if not entirely, tax exempt, this trend raises several questions: Are nonprofit organizations encouraged to pursue commercial ventures that they would otherwise eschew because the income from such activities is tax exempt? When nonprofit enterprises move into commercial markets, does their tax-exempt status give them an economic advantage? Does the prospect of earning tax-free income create incentives for nonprofit organizations to divert their energies from core philanthropic activities in order to pursue commercial ventures that are justified only because they generate revenue for the core activities? How does the differential tax treatment of nonprofits affect choices among commercial ventures?
To answer these questions, we must recognize some distinguishing attributes of nonprofits (Weisbrod 1977, 1988; Hansmann 1980; James 1983; Steinberg 1991; Eckel and Steinberg 1994). Unlike for-profit enterprises, nonprofit organizations may regard the pursuit of profit in any market as a means of achieving other "more important" organizational goals, rather than as an end in itself. In addition, donations, an important source of revenue for many nonprofits, may be sensitive to these commercial activities. For example, donors may care about how nonprofits divide their efforts between profit-making activities and producing what donors believe to be the organization's "primary" output.

Audi e-tron and Audi Q3 SUVs receive ALG Residual Value Awards
Industry analytics company ALG announced the Audi e-tron retains its value better than any electric vehicle
All-new Audi Q3 is anticipated to carry a higher residual value than any other vehicle in the Premium Subcompact Utility class
ALG's Residual Value Awards (RVA) recognize vehicles in 27 segments forecasted to retain highest percentage of their MSRP after a three-year period
HERNDON, Va., November 18, 2019 – The Audi e-tron midsize SUV, the first fully electric Audi model, and new Audi Q3 compact-premium SUV, have both earned ALG Residual Value Awards for 2020. ALG's Residual Value Awards (RVA) recognize vehicles in 27 segments that are forecasted to retain the highest percentage of their manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) after a three-year period. The e-tron earned the designation for the electric category, while the Q3 won in the Premium Subcompact Utility segment.
For more than 50 years, ALG has used its market insights, industry expertise and leading analytics to become the benchmark for forecasting vehicle values. In 2000, ALG launched its first program recognizing the automotive brands and products that provide best-in-class value to consumers.
The Audi e-tron and Q3 were selected through an analysis of used vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness. Eligibility for the award requires a manufacturer to have vehicle entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line.
Audi will be among the winning automakers honored during the Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 20, 2019, in Los Angeles.

Most Expensive Celebrity Weddings Of All Time
By Amy Lamare on May 7, 2015 in Articles › How Much Does
The average cost of an American wedding is a staggering $25,200. However, if you thought that price tag was expensive – think again. Celebrities throw way more money at their nuptials than mere regular people do. We're talking millions and millions of dollars for unions that don't last all that long. (We're looking at you Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries – at least when Britney had her 55-hour marriage, she had the good sense to elope to Las Vegas.) Let's take a look at the 12 Most Expensive Celebrity Weddings.
#12: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
Cost: $1 million
When Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married in 2000 they were the most famous couple in the world at the time. So a $1 million price tag, as outrageous as that seems to most of us, really wasn't too bad. The bulk of the money was spent on Jennifer's dress, the 50,000 flowers the couple had at their ceremony and reception, and a fireworks display at the end of the night.
They divorced five years later. Helicopters swarmed above the wedding trying to get a photo of the couple.
#11: Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom
Khloe and Lamar got married within a month of their first meeting and their lavish wedding was planned in just nine days. Go ahead and digest that. One million dollars was spent in a little over a week. The couple was married in Beverly Hills. The blushing bride wore a custom made (in nine days!) Vera Wang wedding gown.
They divorced four years later.
#10: Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Cost: $1.5 million
Most of the budget of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's 2000 wedding went to Madonna's $80,000 Stella McCartney gown and the renting of an entire castle in Scotland for the ceremony.
They divorced eight years later.
#9: Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman
Christina and Jordan rented out a private vineyard and hired a 14-piece orchestra for their 2005 wedding. Christina wore a designer gown and Christian Louboutin heels. By all accounts it was a heck of a party. The reception went on until 5:00 in the morning.
They divorced five years later.
#8: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, or TomKat as they were called, booked a 15th century Italian castle for their wedding. A-List guests treated to the expensive fireworks display at the reception included David and Victoria Beckham, Will and Jada Smith, and Jennifer Lopez. Katie's gown was a custom made Giorgio Armani.

#7: Liza Minnelli and David Gest
Liza's wedding was THE event of the year and attracted a star-studded guest list that included Michael Jackson as Best Man and Elizabeth Taylor as Maid of Honor. The ceremony and reception for nearly 1,000 guests featured a 50-piece orchestra and 12-tier wedding cake.
They divorced a year later.
#6: Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky
The actual amount of the 2010 nuptials of Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Clinton's only child haven't ever been officially confirmed but experts believe it would be in the region of $2-5 million. The security alone for this event had to cost a pretty penny. The couple spent $750,000 on catering, $11,000 on their cake, $500,000 for flowers, $600,000 for air-conditioned tents, and $250,000 in jewelry.
They are still married.

#5: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
Much of the $6.5 million cost of this 2012 wedding went to logistics. JT and Jessica booked an entire hotel in Italy for their friends and family. They also paid to close the surrounding buildings in an event to thwart the paparazzi.
#4: Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto
Cost: $10 million
Michael and Yvette were married in front of 300 guests at their 2013 nuptials. At the reception Usher and Robin Thicke performed. Their seven layer rum wedding cake was encrusted with crystals. The bride's dress was made with handmade silk lace that had been created just for her.
#3: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
There's an old saying that goes "More money than brains…" Kim spent $10,000 on invitations, $6,000 on cake, $2 million on flowers, and $2.5 million on a diamond encrusted headdress. She invited 500 guests. She wore three custom Vera Wang dresses on the day. The wedding was filmed (and probably partially financed by) for television for a two-part, four-hour reality TV special.
The marriage lasted 72 days.
#2: Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt
Petra and James closed down an entire medieval town in Italy for a day for their wedding celebration. They hired a castle for $512,000. Petra's Vera Wang gown cost $1.3 million. Guests drank champagne that cost $6,000 a bottle, they had a $165,000 fireworks show. The couple paid the Black Eyed Peas $2.5 million and David Guetta $800,000 to perform at their reception.
#1: Prince William and Kate Middleton
The latest wedding of the century, in which the son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana married his college sweetheart- a normal middle class girl named Kate Middleton, cost a staggering $34 million. But wait—it isn't as excessive as it seems. It is estimated that the security on that day in 2011 cost $32 million. The remaining $2 million went to $800,000 worth of flowers, $150,000 catering, and $60,000 in champagne. Kate's wedding ring cost $11,000.

In case you were wondering: Five out of the 12 couples are still married and the average length of the marriages that did not work out is 3 years, 4 months. If these grim stats are not deterring you from proposing to your significant other, we recommend checking out the site WomanGettingMarried.com for all your creative wedding ideas, venues, dress options, reviews etc. Full disclosure, they helped us put this article together 🙂

2011 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event Champion: Sam Trickett
Sam Trickett
One of the most important poker tournaments in Europe came to a conclusion today, as Sam Trickett walked away the champion, along with a check worth €1,000,000 at the Partouche Poker Tour (PPT). The PPT's €8,500 buy-in Main Event began back in September, when 579 players entered for their shot at glory. Taking a page from the WSOP playbook, play was suspended after 5 days, when the final table was reached, so TV broadcasts over the last couple months could help build suspense for the conclusion of "the other November Nine".
Sam Trickett, unquestionably the headliner at the final table, started out with the chip lead. Buoyed by an incredible 2011 in which he has amassed over $3 million in winnings from successes at the Aussie Millions, EPT London, and WSOPE events, Trickett was primed for another 7-figure score, which would vault him into "white hot untouchable" status for 2011, thus far only achieved by Erik Seidel. Though he faced stiff competition, and by no means was the contest a steamroll of any sort, Trickett was able to pull out the victory when all was said and done.
The prestigious poker series' Main Event, run by the highly acclaimed tournament director Matt Savage, has had its fair share of notable winners in the past, including last year's champion Vanessa Selbst. Indeed, Cannes, France is truly building a reputation as a poker hotspot these days, with the PPT final table taking place at the beautiful Palm Beach Casino, just a month or so after the city finished hosting the World Series of Poker Europe.

We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner. But that's the paradox because the only thing extraordinary about it was that it was so ordinary.
The artist must operate on the assumption that the public consists in the highest order of individual; that he is civilized, cultured, and highly sensitive both to emotional and intellectual contexts. And while the whole public most certainly does not consist in that sort of individual, still the tendency of art is to create such a public—to lift the level of perceptivity, to increase and enrich the average individual's store of values... I believe that it is in a certain devotion to concepts of truth that we discover values.

Why You Should Watch Netflix's 'The Queen's Gambit' Even If You Know Nothing About Chess
Anya Taylor-Joy plays an orphaned chess prodigy battling her own vices in this stylish series.
Throughout The Queen's Gambit, the limited series now on Netflix, you find yourself drawn to Anya Taylor-Joy's fingers, which is just what she intended. Taylor-Joy, the actress best known for the 2015 horror film The Witch, plays Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy who rises to incredible heights even as her personal demons threaten to undermine her talent. When Beth moves a piece, it's like she's engaging in a magic trick or a dance, lifting them daintily with manicured nails. It's seductive and slightly terrifying.
"I had this idea that, whilst she's a very aggressive player, I wanted her movements to be very clearly feminine," Taylor-Joy says. "Her two biggest passions in life are chess and clothes. She loves fashion. She loves that whole aspect of it. So I wanted there to be a definite feminine quality to the way that she handles the pieces."
Based on a 1983 novel by Walter Tevis, The Queen's Gambit comes to Netflix adapted by Scott Frank, whose last project for the streaming service was the Emmy-winning Godless. (At one point, the book was set to be turned into a film starring Elliot Page that would mark Heath Ledger's directorial debut.) In seven meticulously crafted episodes, Frank charts Beth's evolution in mid-century Kentucky from a withdrawn orphan who becomes addicted to the tranquilizers her caretakers feed her to a glamorous international star, beating the Soviets at the game they dominate.
Netflix/YouTube
As a character study, the show is as intense as Beth's gaze, at the same time being extremely precise about Beth's preoccupation. That is to say, it goes deep into chess in a way that is bound to go over some viewers' heads. Taylor-Joy trained with chess master Bruce Pandolfini in preparation for the role.
"One of the first things that I said to Scott, our director, when we met, I was like, it's not all about chess, but because that passion is chess, I felt the need to understand as much as I could theoretically," Taylor-Joy explains. "Now, that is a very different thing than being able to execute the theory that you know, but I felt like when people love chess they really love chess, and as the protagonist in this story, I couldn't in good conscience show up and not know anything about what I was talking about." She'll admit that she's not as proficient as Beth, but she does now bring along a chess board to sets to play in between takes. (Taylor-Joy has just been cast as Furiosa in the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, so imagine her playing chess in a vast dystopian wasteland, if you will.)
The Queen's Gambit didn't require an intimate knowledge of chess from all of its actors. In her first on-screen role, Moses Ingram plays Jolene, Beth's first confidant at the orphanage. While a different performer plays a younger version of Beth, Ingram portrays Jolene at all ages.
"I think at the center of younger Jolene is a buoyancy," she says. "Just a lightness—so much freer of the things that we put on ourselves as we get older." Jolene is a foul-mouthed kid who teaches Beth what to do with the pills the adults are forcing down their throats and the word "cocksucker." Assuming that Ingram herself was 14, the other children on set were shocked at her foul mouth. "There was one little girl who, whenever I would yell obscenities, she would run crying to her mother," Ingram says. "It was fun."
Beth is eventually adopted by Alma Wheatley, a housewife in a stagnant marriage played by Marielle Heller, who is best known as the director of movies like The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Frank, a friend of Heller's, convinced her to return to acting, where she started her career, for the series. Alma and Beth instantly read more like sisters than mother-daughter. Alma has craved motherhood but doesn't know what to do with this strange teen who only cares about chess. Her husband is absent and she passes the time drinking PBRs in a housecoat. When she learns that Beth's fixation with the game can give both of them a new lease on life, Alma becomes her business manager of sorts.
"We talked about Beth and Alma being like two feral animals who had both been alone for so long and when they come together they're sniffing each other out for a long time, and it takes a long time to build trust," Heller says. "Both of them have lived pretty solitary lives for so long and don't trust anybody and then they become each other's confidantes in a way that is I think really actually very sweet. It's not easy. It doesn't happen overnight, and it's not a traditional mother-daughter relationship. But there's something very sweet about it at the end of the day." The prickly rawness to that relationship shines through the pristine 1960s production design, and the garters Heller had to endure.
For Taylor-Joy, the entirety of Beth was hard to shake. "There was like zero skin between me and the character," she says. "By the time I showed up, she was just there and I could feel her emotions so deeply all of the time, and that was wonderful as a performer because it meant I was never reaching for anything." There were challenges that came with that too. "Where it gets tricky is, it was the first time that I had to understand like, 'oh okay, Beth is having a bad day, that means that I'm having a bad day,'" she adds. "But I have to understand that it's not my stuff even though I'm going to be experiencing it." And while Taylor-Joy may not be the chess genius Beth is, you believe every flick of her wrist as she handles a pawn.

Small businesses have never had it harder than today. The global market has opened up many opportunities, but not all of them benefit everyone. In particular, the big players now have the resources to spread easily, and reach even faraway territories. It's near impossible to compete with them, when you take into consideration all of their advantages. However, small business owners are discovering more and more that new and emerging digital technologies can help them survive and find their place under the sun. Here are the 2017 trends to keep an eye on if you want your small business to increase its profits and have a standout year.
Just because you don't have the big bucks, doesn't mean you shouldn't copy and exploit some of the practices that huge enterprises employ. After all, if they are so successful, they must be doing something right. If there's one thing they excel at, it's management. The fact that you don't have hundreds of employees, doesn't mean you shouldn't be organized. For instance, optimal software release management can ultimately transform your company's release mechanisms into an infallible, well-oiled machine.
A lot of small businesses make the fatal mistake of skipping web optimization. Long gone are the days when just having a website was enough. Today, in order to increase your visibility, you need carefully curated social media profiles, a web page that is constantly optimized for SEO, email marketing, and a good niche presence. Of course, all of these should be based on thoroughly researched targeting. However, all this doesn't mean that you need to spend all of your time on online marketing, or spend a fortune on a team of digital marketers. While digital marketing certainly is a wise investment, try to minimize costs by exploring marketing automation.
The internet is a beautiful thing: it has connected people all over the world and has made it incredibly easy to find anything you need – even an employee. The freelance market has been flourishing. Professionals from all over the world get hired to work remotely. This gives you the opportunity to find and hire an expert with the exact profile and skill set you need, probably for less money than you would normally pay. But that is not the only benefit. You will also save significant sums of money on office space. New trends in the freelancer market are showing that demand is growing steadily. Ride the wave and cash in.
Virtual reality and Internet of Things are the two main technologies that are right on the cusp of entering every segment of our lives. The field is wide open, and it's only up to the creativity of your team to come up with ways to exploit the endless possibilities and the adjacent buzz.
Getting money for your business from investors might be a tried and true method, but it has a definite downside: it makes you accountable and creates the obligation to satisfy your investors. In many cases, this reflects badly on the creativity and willingness to risk. Instead, embrace crowdsourcing as a valid financial model. Keep in mind that financial climate is shifting at the moment. Lack of stability is driving people towards Bitcoin. Embrace cryptocurrencies, but beware that digital payment technologies are under constant threat of hacking, and security is a top priority.
A lot of the times, it's not enough to work hard: you have to work smart too. Of course, dedication is a must if you wish to succeed. However, innovativeness is also valuable, and keeping up with new trends might just be the thing that gives you the upper hand over your competitors and launches your business right next to the big players. Bear in mind that it's always much easier to exploit new avenues when you have a small and flexible company. International giants are powerful, but they are slow to change their set ways. That is exactly what can give you an edge that might prove to be the key to your success.

Newsprint supply is tightening, and you are affected
By Tony Clark
Published 2:55 pm Tuesday, April 17, 2018
The paper (newsprint) used to print Windsor Weekly you hold in your hands cost 10 percent more than it did just a few weeks ago — and is likely to cost as much as 40 percent more in coming months, newspaper industry experts predict.
In what sounds like a farfetched scenario, tightening American newsprint supplies could threaten newspapers' ability to print at all, the same experts say.
Forces beyond the control of Windsor Weekly — and thousands of community newspapers like us across America — are to blame, but our response will be noticeable to you, our readers:
Less non-local content. We will work harder than ever to provide news about Western Tidewater that you cannot find elsewhere. As we further maximize local news content, news and features from outside this community will be reduced in length, but stay close in story count via use as news briefs.
More online news. Our news staff routinely produces more local news and photographs than will fit in our print edition. Increasingly, we will rely on our website, where we have unlimited space, to publish excess news.
Why is newsprint becoming more expensive and scarcer? Two reasons: one long in the making, the other recent.
Because of the struggles of big-city newspapers, newsprint consumption in America has decreased 75 percent over the past two decades. As demand dropped, many American newsprint mills closed or converted to making other paper products.
Newsprint mills in neighboring Canada filled supply gaps as domestic production capacity dwindled. The result was market equilibrium and stable newsprint prices for much of the past decade — until last summer, when a small, hedge fund-owned newsprint mill in faraway Washington State caused a market jolt that no one saw coming.
North Pacific Paper Co., or NORPAC, complained to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission that Canadian producers were violating trade laws by receiving government loan assistance and harvesting trees on government land — advantages that allowed them to sell paper in the United States cheaper than American mills could. No other paper manufacturers have complained.
Pending results of an investigation that is ongoing, preliminary duties against Canadian producers of 7 percent to 10 percent began in January, followed by an additional 22 percent in March. Major newsprint makers, most of whom have mills in both countries, have announced major price increases in response.
For the record, Windsor Weekly is printed almost entirely on paper made in Calhoun, Tennessee, and Augusta, Georgia. Community newspapers like ours represent a sliver of newspaper demand. Despite still-healthy print readership, we alone cannot create enough demand to stimulate the U.S. newsprint market and bring shuttered mills back to life. Yet our need for newsprint to fulfill our obligation to readers is as enduring as that of The Washington Post or New York Times.
How can you help? If you are so inclined, call our United States Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, and our United States Representatives Bobby Scott and Donald McEachin, and ask them to take a stand for community newspapers. You or I cannot express an opinion to the Department of Commerce or International Trade Commission, but senators and representatives can.
Visit https://www.stopnewsprinttariffs.org/contact-congress/ for sample language and contact information. If you prefer to send a letter by mail or contact by phone, information is below. Consider the following language when contacting lawmakers:
I urge you to get involved with an important issue that has dramatically impacted not only our community, but our nation's entire economy. The Department of Commerce recently announced countervailing and anti-dumping duties on Canadian imports of newsprint that ranges as high 32 percent. These duties cannot be absorbed by newspapers and printers and most likely, will lead to higher prices for readers and businesses, incurring a loss of jobs in printing and publishing at the local level.
This issue started when one newsprint mill in the State of Washington, who is owned by a New York hedge fund, filed petitions for tariffs. The rest of the paper industry opposes the petitions because they know that these tariffs will cause damage to newspapers and printers, and will ultimately reduce the demand for newsprint.
I understand that the trade case is at a critical phase at the International Trade Commission, and members of Congress can express submit comments to the ITC on the impact of these tariffs on constituents. I respectfully request that you let the ITC know that this newsprint trade case will cause unintended consequences to our economy and local community, and should be rejected.
Thank you for your consideration of my views.

Q: Limiting copying website contents to 300 words I am developing a website for an organization. They asked me to limit copying website contents to 300 words. i've googled, but i couldn't found any sollutions.. if there any scripts(javaScript or PHP) to do this?

A: you can not stop user to copy the website content .. even if you try to do this by javascript there are many tools like firebug by which user can get the data

A: Disabling right click on the website is the usual mechanism to stop people from directly copying the contents. If you do want to impose a 300 character allowance you will have to to listen to text selection events and once the user has reached max chars limit you prevent him from proceeding further. A quick google search on js snippets for selecting text presented the following two links:

Generally, a controlled substance is an illegal drug that can have a detrimental effect on a person's health and welfare. As a result, federal and state governments have seen fit to regulate these substances. A person caught possessing a controlled substance can be fined and held in prison by local, state, and federal law enforcement.
Having answered the question "what is a controlled substance?", a natural follow up inquiry is whether possessing controlled substances is always unlawful. The answer is that not all controlled substances are illegal in all circumstances - many are prescribed to the general public and sold through pharmacies and dispensaries for legitimate medical treatment. To determine if a particular drug is legal, you should refer to the federal controlled substance schedules. Read on to learn more about the different controlled substances schedules and how state and federal governments enforce controlled substance laws.
Controlled Substance Schedules: Which Drugs Can I Legally Possess?
Schedule I – These substances have no accepted medical use, are unsafe, and hold a high potential for abuse. Examples include heroin, LSD, marijuana, peyote, and ecstasy.
Schedule III – These are substances that have less potential for abuse but can still lead to moderate or low physical dependence and high psychological dependence. They include Tylenol with Codeine, Suboxone, ketamine, and anabolic steroids.
Schedule IV – These ubstances have a lower potential for abuse than Schedule III drugs, and include Xanax, Soma, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, Versed, Restoril, and Halcion.
Schedule V – These are primarily preparations that contain limited quantities of narcotics, including cough syrups that contain codeine.
Technically, it's illegal to possess any one of the drugs listed in the schedules. However, if you are properly prescribed and have lawfully purchased one of the substances, you have not violated the law and you are exempt from prosecution.
Penalties for drug offenses vary depending on the drug and the quantity of drug that was involved in the crime. For example, someone charged with 500-4999 grams mixture of cocaine, a schedule II drug, will receive between 5-40 years in prison and a fine of less than $5 million. If the crime involved death or serious bodily injury, the punishment increases to between 20 years and life imprisonment, plus less than a $5 million fine. The same penalty applies to several other drugs/drug quantities, even though the drugs may be classified in different drug schedules. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Division (DEA) provides charts illustrating drug trafficking penalties.
State and Federal Controlled Substances Laws - What Applies?
The Controlled Substances Act is a federal law, so any state laws that conflict with the CSA likely won't be upheld by a federal court. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution provides that if there's a conflict between a state and a federal law, the federal law preempts, or takes supremacy over, the state law. However, the states are allowed flexibility in how they decide to enforce (or not enforce) the CSA, and some states have created even stricter laws. The vast majority of states have simply adopted the provisions of the CSA by adopting the Uniform Controlled Substances Act of 1973. Only thirty states have adopted the updated version that provides more authority for state governments to seize assets in criminal prosecutions.
In the case of marijuana regulation, the CSA trumps all state laws under the Supremacy Clause, so marijuana possession remains illegal in all fifty states. States wishing to allow for more leniency in marijuana use simply do not criminalize the possession and use of small amounts marijuana or pass "medical marijuana" regulations to allow possession and use for limited medical purposes.
The above terms are interpreted quite broadly, so the mere possession of any drug listed in the CSA schedules is subject to prosecution and punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment. State laws regulating controlled substances vary widely, so you should check the law of your state with the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities.
It's important to understand what is a controlled substance and what is not. Whether you're facing criminal charges for possession of a controlled substance or you're wondering if you can legally travel with your own prescription medication, you should consult with a local criminal defense attorney to review the current state of the law as it applies to you.


According to the Clark County Sheriff's Office, an acre of commercial property generates an annual average of 13.3 calls for service, compared to only 1.2 for an acre of single-family residential property. In 2000, only about 20 percent of police reports filed with the sheriff's office and Vancouver Police Department were from commercial locations; in 2004, that figure had climbed to over 23 percent.
Commercial crime in Clark County is significant, and it is growing. Police departments divide commercial crime into "blue collar crimes" – shoplifting, burglary and vandalism – and "white collar crimes" such as credit card and check fraud, identity theft, information theft, Internet scams and counterfeiting.
The construction industry is hard hit by blue collar crime. Karen Blythe, executive director of the Construction Industry Crime Prevention Program of the Pacific Northwest, said that theft from Washington and Oregon construction sites costs the construction industry $26 million annually.
"The criminals are smarter and bolder than ever before," said Blythe.
She recounted how thieves attempted to steal aluminum stairs from a job trailer in broad daylight. Ron Frederiksen, president of Vancouver-based RSV Construction Services, had thieves hotwire an RSV forklift, then use it to load construction materials onto a "getaway" trailer. Another time, thieves stole an entire job trailer full of blueprints and permits. Frederiksen estimates that construction theft has cost his firm $10,000 to $15,000 each of the last three years.
The biggest targets at construction sites, said Frederiksen, are tools, metal, and equipment. Metal is especially popular, said Blythe, because metal prices are at an "all time high," netting the thieves a nice profit.
Construction sites aren't the only theft targets. Recently, Clark County had a rash of nursery thefts. Shelley Deal, co-owner of GW Deal Landscape Nursery, said their nursery was hit four times in three weeks this spring. Although tools and equipment are insurable, nursery stock is not.
"We lost $25,000 to $30,000," said Deal. "It about pushed us over the edge."
GW Deal employees began taking detailed notes of people who showed up at the nursery "just to look around," and began marking their pots. Working in concert with the sheriff's office, these efforts resulted in three arrests.
While some thieves concentrate on copper connectors and Japanese maples, others are after less tangible, but even more valuable goods – information. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes, with almost ten million reported victims in 2004 nationwide. The problem is especially serious in Washington, where 5,654 complaints were filed in 2004, putting Washington in the top ten states based on per capita reporting of ID theft.
Detective Ed Hewitt has spent six-and-a-half years in the Vancouver Police Department's Major Crimes Unit, investigating white-collar crime. He stated that he has seen a 100 percent increase in the sheer volume of criminal activity relating to credit card fraud, forgeries, and ID theft in the last five years.
"It's out of control," said Hewitt.
Commercial businesses are attractive to identity thieves, said Hewitt, because of economy of scale – a thief can walk into a mortgage office or dentist clinic and steal hundreds of complete files, with social security numbers, bank account information, addresses etc. ID theft often happens during business hours. The thief gains access to a business, perhaps posing as a vendor or construction worker, and steals laptops that contain sensitive customer data.
The fraud associated with ID theft is another growing concern for retailers and banks. Check fraud is so serious that the banks don't like to reveal the extent of the problem. But according to American Bankers' Association data, financial institutions lost at least $677 million to check fraud in 2003. Smaller banks tend to be hardest hit. In 1999, community banks reported that 56 percent of their check fraud-related losses could be attributed to ID theft, compared to only 5 percent at super-regional banks.
Whether it's metal theft or ID theft, there is one common thread amongst the criminal activity in Clark County: methamphetamine.
"85 to 90 percent of all criminal activity is related to meth," said Hewitt. "I've seen only one case of ID theft that was not tied to meth."
John Posey, President of Vancouver-based Corporate Security Services Inc. concurs. He said that if the meth problem was eliminated, "ID theft and its collateral fraud would go away."
In an effort to eliminate the meth problem, the police department has implemented the Washington State Meth Watch Program, which attempts to stop meth quot;cookers"; from purchasing meth ingredients (such as cold and allergy medicines, acetone, and gas additives). Local Watch partners include 7-11, Arco Quick Stop, B&B Food Mart, Grocery Outlet, Hi-School Hardware, Minit Mart, Safeway, St. Johns IGA, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and WinCo.
Posey cited the "cumulative cost of crime" as a major factor in high prices for goods and services. Security Officer Magazine stated that ID theft and fraud cost Americans some $437 million in 2003, while IDC (a major global market intelligence and advisory firm in the information technology industry) estimates that security spending will increase to $38 billion this year.
