Best looking Budgeting/Expenses App
You'd expect that from the hundreds of financial apps in the Google Market, it'd be easy to find a few that provide a good UX. You'd be wrong.

Money Lover has it all though. The looks and all the functionality you need. It's feels like an iOS application but with the flexibility of Android. Also they update it frequently and provide feedback, which is a big must. Thank you for developing this!

Men's college lacrosse
Loyola aide Chemotti is named first head coach at Richmond
Loyola offensive coordinator Dan Chemotti has been named the first men's lacrosse head coach at Richmond, the Virginia school announced Monday. Chemotti finished his fifth season at Loyola in May as the Greyhounds won an NCAA Division I-record-tying 18 games and claimed the school's first NCAA championship. The Greyhounds ranked eighth in goals per game (12.05) and fifth in fewest turnovers per game (12.84). "We are very happy for Dan, who is taking a step to become a head coach, one that he has wanted for a long time," Loyola head coach Charley Toomey said in a statement. "I believe that the mark of a great coach is to leave a place better than you found it, and Dan is certainly doing that. We will be grateful for his contributions at Loyola and wish him the best at Richmond. We will begin a national search to fill the vacancy immediately." Chemotti played midfielder at Duke and for the New Jersey Pride and Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse.

Strong Dollar? Weak Dollar? What Does it Mean to Individual Investors?
In recent months we have been confronted day by day with financial news headlines concerning the decline of the US dollar. A typical story line: "The dollar is down against both the Japanese Yen and against the Euro this morning, marking the fifth straight daily loss for the greenback." The dollar is down against the Yen? The dollar is down against the Euro currency? What does this mean, and how does this affect our personal finances?
The dollar is considered the standard unit of currency in commodity markets across the globe (particularly gold and oil). Since these basic commodities are currently priced in dollars, there is a strong interest in the dollars value against other currencies. If the dollar declines in value against other currencies, those other currencies will have greater purchasing power in terms of products priced in dollars. At the present time, the U.S. dollar remains the world's foremost reserve currency, primarily held in $100 denominations. This means that throughout the world, next to their own currency, people have more dollars in their possession than any other currency. The majority of U.S. notes are actually held outside the United States. The US Treasury estimates that at the end of 2008 there was approximately $853 billion of US currency in circulation with one half to two thirds held outside the US. It is because of the fact that so many dollars are held in reserve in foreign countries that the daily value of the dollar is headline news whenever its value fluctuates.
A few nations besides the United States use the U.S. dollar as their official currency. Ecuador, El Salvador and East Timor all adopted the currency independently. Additionally, local currencies of several countries such as Bermuda, the Bahamas, Panama and a few other countries can be freely exchanged at a 1:1 ratio for the U.S. dollar. Finally, a number of nations have tied their currencies to the U.S. dollar, including: Lebanon (one dollar = 1500 Lebanese pound), Hong Kong (one U.S. dollar = HK$ 7.8 since 1983), and several more. A significant recent development is the action taken by the People's Republic of China. The Yuan (Chinas currency, also called the renminbi) had once been informally and controversially pegged to the US dollar (since the mid-1990s, at 1 U.S. dollar = 8.28 Y); however the peg was removed on July 21, 2005. Instead, the central bank of China manages the exchange rate of the Yuan against a basket of global currencies. This means that the bank buys and sells various foreign currencies in an attempt to influence the value of those currencies relative to the value of their own currency.
One of the many problems which plague our economic health is the imbalance between the value of the goods we import into the US versus the value of the goods we export. We seem to have an insatiable appetite for everything from foreign made cars to the shelves full of merchandise at the dollar stores. Therefore, in a view held by many economists, it is a good thing when the dollar declines in value because foreign buyers of US goods will have greater purchasing power which in turn brings our import/export ratio closer into balance. However, traditionally the stability and strength of a countrys currency has been considered indicative of the countrys overall stability and strength, and that is the primary reason we should have concern over the value of the dollar relative to other currencies.
Dollars and other currencies are similar to commodities in that there is a market for currencies; the foreign exchange market or "forex market as it is called. As in any market, supply and demand dictate price. China holds more than $2.25 trillion in various foreign currency reserves; there are estimates that 2/3 of that amount is in US dollars. If they choose to reduce their exposure to US dollars by selling dollars and buying Yen or Euros in place of dollars, that would weigh heavily on the value of the dollar and further depress its value relative to other currencies. The supply and demand for dollars would be affected by their actions. Again, this would be good for US exporters whose goods would be more attractive to foreign buyers. However, to the extent that the strength of a currency is indicative of overall economic strength, the decline of the dollar would signal weakness. For example, dollar weakness makes it more difficult to sell US debt (government bonds) to foreign investors who have in recent years facilitated our huge financial bailouts and deficit spending, because those investors will have less appetite for assets that are dollar denominated. Regarding our personal finances, dollar weakness could adversely affect the price of various investments we hold such as shares of stock or government bonds.
The chart below tracks the value of the dollar against the Euro currency since the Euro currency was first adopted in 1999.You can see that the Euro was actually worth less than the dollar for the first several years of its existence. However, as more and more countries in the European Union adopted the common currency and strengthened their trading position, the Euro's value has increased against the dollar. Today the European Union is the world's largest trading block, accounting for over 20% of global imports and exports. This strength in trade has directly affected the relative value of their currency.
While those of us fortunate enough to be able to travel to Europe or to Asia may experience first-hand a negative aspect of a weaker dollar, there are far more serious implications to the dollars decline than more expensive hotel and restaurant bills.
In my opinion we need to be concerned for the longer term. We need to remain competitive in an ever-changing economic climate. To that end, the creation of jobs through new industry and the increase in our productivity in existing industries will go a long way toward improving our position as a global trading partner and strengthening the dollar. Our failure to answer the call in the automotive industry opened the door for vastly successful foreign competition and the near collapse of our domestic auto producers. The same occurred in our domestic steel industry. There remains opportunity to excel in the areas of agriculture, technology, and energy; all of which could create new jobs, improve our position as a trading partner, and in turn strengthen value of the dollar.
Historically, a nations military strength and resultant ability to protect its borders and its infrastructure have played a role in the strength or weakness of its currency. As we have become more involved militarily in the Middle East over recent years, we have seen more weakness in the dollar. Not only have our peace keeping efforts drawn heavily on our military readiness, but also the additional costs incurred have steeply increased the issuance of government bonds to pay for all of the activity. Again the forces of supply and demand come to play. The more bonds we issue the greater the supply, and the greater the supply the lower the price. As our bonds are denominated in US dollars there is pressure on the dollar whenever there are large scale sales of US bonds, whether the sales are new issues from the Treasury, or bonds currently held by investors or foreign central banks.
In summary, there are many forces at play in determining the daily value of the dollar against the values of all other major currencies. To the extent that our personal investments are denominated in dollars, our financial well being is impacted when a weaker dollar diminishes the demand for the investments we hold. Each day it becomes more and more evident that we are part of a "global" economy, and that our actions as a nation regarding both our political and economic health have a measurable impact on our personal financial health.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (NA)
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
The year is 1962. JFK is President and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear – but a far more powerful and insidious enemy than communism is threatening America. Known only to a select few, a top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating and concealing a series of mysterious attacks by an otherworldly enemy. As special agent William Carter, call the shots, pull the trigger and lead your squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a high-stakes, covert war to defend humanity. The Bureau's mission is clear – survive, adapt and overcome the enemy threat to protect the citizens from the truth.
Customer reviews
A decent game, a poor XCOM.pyjamasbox | Feb. 9, 2014 | See all pyjamasbox's reviews »
XCOM declassified is a game that went through a long, troubled development, and it's shows. While the game is far from bad, it doesn't have what it takes live up the XCOM name. If you're coming into this game expecting a chess-like action game much like XCOM: Enemy Unknown, you'll be sorely disappointed. Instead, you'll be greeted with a tactical third person shooter with sci-fi elements and not much else.
The story is utterly forgettable, but the presentation isn't half bad. The game looks decent, but not good enough to warrant the performance issues that haunt the game on even a decent gaming rig. The gameplay is nothing special, but works efficiently enough for what's going on. Don't expect to run and gun your way through this game, you'll be using special abilities and strong tactics just to get through even basic encounters.
All in all, the game does a lot of things, but none of them are done particularly well. The game sets out to achieve almost nothing spectacular, and does exactly that..nothing spectacular. I think the biggest issue with this game is that it's simply not more like XCOM.
Depends on what you expected.ryucchang | Nov. 12, 2013 | See all ryucchang's reviews »
If you are expecting a game that can fulfill your imaginations and expectations for the XCOM franchise itself (like me) I consider this game as 'not worth buying.' At least for the whole price. Yes, it has a story line which is linked to the entire XCOM itself and may have some aspects that continue along to the XCOM: Enemy Unknown but, I don't know what happened, the overall taste is quite under expectation.
However, as a shooter game with tactical features, this game is worth enough playing at least once or twice. It has a decent story with above average characters and sub features to extend the game playtime.
Again, but, However, the game lacks any sort of freedom. The story is linear and the only thing you can choose is who to speak with, whether you're going to do some quests inside the base and the sequence to choose side quests.
You can't customize almost any aspect of your teammates. They are all guys, (ah the good old times ha?) no armors, no accessories, no nothing. Only thing you can do is give 'em some backpacks and weapons and choose what skill to use from the eight skills they have. The balance is crippled so not all of them are worth using anyway.
The battle and fighting itself is alright though. You can command direct orders to your teammates (who aren't really that helpful, but better than nothing) which does give you the sense of being in charge. The enemy AI is alright. They don't let you flank 'em that easily and try to concentrate fire on you to cut you out. If you played XCOM EU, you will once again be able to remember how it feels to fight a muton with an assault rifle and basic armor.
Still, the major problem this game has is that the game doesn't live up to the XCOM hype it received and that MASS EFFECT still exists on this universe.
A decent tactical shooter.EnsignSmith | Oct. 17, 2013 | See all EnsignSmith's reviews »
But it would have been better had the XCom name not been thrust upon it. Were you just working against generic aliens, I'd rate this game higher, but since I've come to expect so much from the name (especially after Enemy Unknown) it's a bit of a disappointment.
That said, it's still a decent tactical shooter, with good mood and good cut-scenes.
Just not as good as it could have been, or as I hoped it would have been.
Ignore the negative reviewsJonot86 | Oct. 17, 2013 | See all Jonot86's reviews »
The reviews on the internet can be sometimes right but most of the time it can be definitely wrong. This game is fantastic, I love playing every moment of it because of it's style and storyline.
The gameplay is fairly basic and almost a copy of Mass Effect but x 3 harder. Cover isn't the perfect solution as even when you're under fire your enemies can still hit you as you can hit them, it's like they have the same advantage as you do with fine tune aiming.
Conversation works the same with the conversation wheel but it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's the same gameplay but different storyline (kinda) that involves aliens.
Overall the experience in this game isn't perfect but it's definitely worth while to play!
Why the Hate?Jonot86 | Oct. 15, 2013 | See all Jonot86's reviews »
I was looking forward to the game but I was surprised on the reviews it received. The "Ok" or the 60-75 rating but honestly I think it deserves to be on the upper 80!
The game story seems basic but it honestly is more compelling as you go and the gameplay is amazing! Intense action battles with great tactical features that isn't to indepth but light enough to not take you out of the action while you game!
I definitely have to rate this 85 as it's not PERFECT but man, I hope they do a series on this as I love the era, love the look, love the characters and love this style of XCOM!

H&H Lures Original Cocahoe Minnows
- Introduced in 1980
- Effective colors
- A must-have lure for saltwater use
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by mzmater I LIKED THE LOOKS OF IT Really liked the looks of it and bought it to use in fresh water as the baitfish were silver and white. I guess the bass didn't like it as much as I did. Still like the looks of it even if it never got a bite. December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedfishRickToo Cocahoe user since forever These came out about 1980 and I was a user from day 1. I've fished the Louisiana marsh east and west of the Miss. R. with them for redfish and the only thing better is a live cocahoe minnow. August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philthenet One of my Favorites I started using the 3" minnow on a 1/8" oz jig with a jig spinner about 20 years ago ... I cannot tell you how many bass I have caught on this rig. I took my stepson out fishing last summer and he is new school I am old school ... well let us just say I out fished him and the biggest bass of the day was caught on the cocahoe minnow rig.... I like the chartreuse/firetail with a red 1/8oz jig head on a small jig spinner. Try it in the early season or when bass are aggressive you will be surprised. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tamashi the best ever made. I love these lure. they work great for about any fish out there from largemouth bass all the way to 40lb striper. All you have to do mounted on 1/4 - 1/2 oz jighead and fish slowly along the bottom you can't go wrong October 1, 2012
1-4 of 4

Fred and Ron both seemed to swell slightly where they sat, as if to provide a barrier around George.
i love the way you are pulling all of this together - all of the relationships, as well as all of the plot points - getting ready for the finale.
i love the quiet intimacy of their public relationship. and i love the image of the cool, calm lee jordan. i feel a bit like george. privileged to know that he has another side. vulnerable, silly, and sexy as hell.
*sniff* i don't want to say goodbye to this story.
Author's Response: Thanks, my lovely! I still feel like I'm doing a disservice to F and G, or the couple, to the story, - I want to be better! I like your pretty words even in a review. I really appreciate your encouragement!

I just adore this story. Everything about it is wonderful. I am so sad to know it's ending. Maybe there should be an epilogue....

Whew! When the boys are hot, they are HOT. Even with no "smut", they still amaze me. Well done!
Author's Response: I love that you think its hot without smut. Man, I'm almost 'smutted out' - almost!

How is it you can make a quick locker room shag so poignant? Poor Lee, I am glad George is there to make things all better.
It is nice to see the "world" starting to accept their relationship and they are settling into being a couple. Only four to go!
Author's Response: Did I make it poignant? hahaha - cool! I was hoping to give it some meaning. I felt really wobbly about this one and just didn't want to post it. I'm trying to tie up some loose ends here and I'm really stretching my abilities within the confines of the 'rules' set out for me. Bah! But thank you for reading!

Kaspersky Anti-Virus software is a multi-platform anti-virus software package that is developed by Kaspersky Labs.
A locally exploitable exceptional condition error exists in the KAVdaemon module of Kaspersky Labs' Anti-Virus software. The flaw can lead to a denial-of-service condition.
KAVdaemon uses a Unix domain socket to listen for requests. Every time a request comes, a new process is spawned without a limit. Thus, by sending a large number of requests, an attacker can cause a DoS because the processes are running as root. The processes, therefore, are not counted against the attacker's limits.
Any user can send requests, as the var/run/AvpCtl file is world-writable. This bug does not require an exploit. An attacker may simply run AvpDaemonClient (DaemonClients/Sample/) several times.
Vulnerabilities in anti-virus software can be very troublesome, as these products are supposed to increase security.
iDEFENSE has proof of concept exploit code demonstrating the impact of this vulnerability.
The latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux, 4.0, is vulnerable. It is suspected that previous versions are vulnerable as well.

The most unusual job interview questions of 2011December 29, 2011: 11:40 AM ET
As if job hunting weren't stressful enough, some employers like to throw curve-ball questions at candidates. Here are some of the trickiest.
By Anne Fisher, contributor
FORTUNE -- For most of us, coming up with dazzling replies to the perennial standard interview queries -- say, "What's your greatest weakness?" or "Where do you see yourself in five years?" -- is plenty challenging. But what would you say if a hiring manager asked you, "What do you think of garden gnomes?" Or how about: "Would Mahatma Gandhi have made a good software engineer?"
To find the year's most unusual questions, researchers at career site Glassdoor combed through job seekers' reviews of about 115,000 interviews at more than 26,000 companies. Here is a sampling of what they found:
- "How many people are using Facebook in San Francisco at 2:30 on a Friday?" — Google (GOOG) (vendor relations manager)
- "Just entertain me for five minutes. I'm not going to talk." — Acosta (leadership development program associate)
- "If Germans were the tallest people in the world, how would you prove it?" — Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) (product marketing manager)
- "Given 20 'destructible' light bulbs (which break at a certain height), and a building with 100 floors, how would you determine the height where the light bulbs break?" — Qualcomm (QCOM) (engineer)
- "What do you think of garden gnomes?" — Trader Joe's (team member)
- "Would Mahatma Gandhi have made a good software engineer?" — Deloitte (analyst)
- "If you could be the #1 employee but have all your coworkers dislike you, or be ranked #15 and have all your coworkers like you, which would you choose?" — ADP (inside sales associate)
- "How would you cure world hunger?" — Amazon.com (AMZN) (software developer)
- "Does life fascinate you?" — Ernst & Young (tax analyst)
- "Please spell 'diverticulitis'." — EMSI Engineering (account manager)
- "Name five uses of a stapler without staples." — EvaluServe (business analyst)
- "How much money did residents of Dallas/Fort Worth spend on gasoline in 2008?" — American Airlines (AMR) (revenue manager)
- "How would you get an elephant into a refrigerator?" — Horizon Group Properties (office manager)
- "How many planes are currently flying over Kansas?" — Best Buy (BBY) (demand planning analyst)
- "How many different ways can you get water from a lake at the foot of a mountain, up to the top of the mountain?" — Disney Parks & Resorts (DIS) (project engineering intern)
- "Pepsi or Coke?" — United Health Group (associate project manager)
- "Are you exhaling warm air?" — Walker Marketing (client manager)
- "If you were a Microsoft Office program, which one would you be?" — Summit Racing Equipment (e-commerce manager)
- "How do you feel about those jokers in Congress?" — Consolidated Electrical (management trainee)
Even if you never get any of these thrown at you, the Glassdoor report notes, the list "serves as a reminder to expect the unexpected." Too true.

Alyssa Cabral thinks you should never discount the underdog.
After all, opponents don't expect the 5-foot-2 Curtis High School senior to be a dominant force on the soccer field.
They're wrong.
Cabral is a captain on a Vikings team that has taken the South Puget Sound League South Division by storm. With wins against defending champion Puyallup, Federal Way and Emerald Ridge, Curtis has a one-game lead in the division heading into the final few weeks of the season.
"I like being an underdog — and we have been the whole time," Cabral said. "They're not expecting you to be as talented as you are based on appearances."
Despite having firsthand experience, Cabral maintains that height isn't important when it's game time. While headers can be a challenge, her pace and versatility make up for her short stature.
"I don't think my size has a huge effect on my play, other than opponents underestimating what I'm capable of," she said.
According to Curtis coach Frank
Hankel, that's a lot.
"She is a very good player despite her size," he said. "She plays a lot bigger than that, and she has played fantastically for us.
"Technically, she is a very solid player, and she is also a calming presence at center (midfielder). She is very even-keeled."
A three-year starter for Curtis, Cabral has played forward, outside back on defense, outside midfielder and center midfielder. While she prefers to play the latter because it provides the most contact with the ball, she earned all-SPSL South first-team honors last season for her defense.
"That was kind of surprising for all of us," she said with a laugh. "It was kind of like, 'Throw me in and hope for the best.' But I have played everywhere, so I am able to adapt for wherever the team needs me.
"As long as I get to play, I don't really care. I appreciate the time I am given."
Even more so these days. Cabral sustained a concussion in Curtis' 3-2 victory at Puyallup on Oct. 5 and sat out the following game.
When Cabral returned Thursday against Todd Beamer, it was clear she was not at full strength. The Vikings also looked out of sorts, especially after she left in the second half. They lost, 2-0, suffering their first defeat of the season.
Nobody is panicking. Curtis returned 13 players from its 2012 state quarterfinal squad. The Vikings know how to win important matches.
Getting Cabral healthy for the stretch run is of greater importance.
"We saw the result of not having her at 100 percent when we lost to Beamer," Hankel said. "But you don't want to rush a player that is important to your team back too early.
"She's such a big part of our team — and I think she's going to have a big influence on how we do this season."

Deep Soup Cereal Bowl
Sales & Special Offers:Add 4 to Your Cart and 1 is Free!
Juniper is reminiscent of a cool forest breeze as it drifts into the warmth of a late summer evening . The deep green and rich burgundy colors flow into each other as they grace rims that have the look of hand thrown pottery. The deeper design of this bowl keeps cereal, soup or desserts in the bowl, not on the table. Deep soup/cereal bowl is 6" dia. and holds 22 oz.

For anyone with an interest in firearms engraving and custom made guns this is a must-see show. There will be plenty of fine custom engraved guns on display.
The exhibition continues to grow each year. It started with about 25 exhibitors, and has grown to nearly 100.
The art of hand engraving and embellishing weapons is one of the oldest artistic pursuits of mankind. Many of the works of art that will be on display at the show have taken hundreds of hours to complete, and can be worth thousands of dollars. FEGA has some of the finest hand engravers in the world keeping this art form alive.
Modern hand engravers still employ the same techniques and tools that previous generations used to engrave firearms. From scrollwork to fine gold inlays, you will find that the methods used today are the same as several hundred years ago.
Whether you want to come enjoy these works of art, or you'd like to have a firearm, knife, or piece of jewelry engraved, come on in and check out the show.
The event will take place during the weekend of Friday, Jan. 25 from 12 to 7 p.m. The event opens Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pavilion Rooms at The Nugget. The cost is $20 per person.

I have been working at AXA Financial
Pros – Make your own hours, the amount of time you put in is basically the amount of salary your get out. Friendly work environment, people in the office will go out of there way to help you. Most of the time you are on the phone dealing with clients. Office space is nice and easy to get to, with very little congestion near the office building. Near major highways and the supplies in the office are plentiful.
Cons – Hard work, very little compensation in the begining of the career. A lot of downtime when things are slow. A lot of regulation in the industry. That is the same for whatever finacial corp. that you work for.
Advice to Senior Management – I think there should be a training implementation system put into play so that new arrivals can eaisly adapt to the way things are run in the office.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at AXA Financial part-time for more than 10 years
I have been working at AXA Financial as an intern for more than 3 years

this is a jailbreak for FW 3.1.x that works ONLY if you have an official SIM
it is NOT an unlock
I am on ATTUsa, I cannot use Tmobile USA
I jailbroke a 3G iPhone on FW3.1.2 and a 3GS also on FW3.1.2
first time I ran blackra1n it did not work, and my iPhone was left in Connect to iTunes mode.
I held power and home until the iPhone turned off. Powered up and ran blackra1n again. It worked the 2nd time on the 3GS. It took 3 tries on the 3G.
if this happens to you, that you end up in Connect to iTunes mode, you do NOT need to restore firmware etc, just hold power and Home at the same time until the phone turns off
good luck
and again
if you are NOT on an official carrier, do NOT run blackra1n, it wont activate you phone
and again
blackrain will NOT unlock your iPhone, only jailbreak
pray for the unlock

More than 1.7 million fans crossed the turnstiles at stadiums across the country this bowl season, but that wasn't enough as the overall attendance for those games dropped 2.4 percent from last season.
Eighteen of the 35 bowl games this season saw an increase in overall attendance and 14 bowl games saw more than 50,000 fans in attendance according to the Football Bowl Association.
"If you compare bowl game attendance to other sports, including regular season college football, the stats this year measure up to what we are seeing across the country," said Wright Waters, Executive Director of the Football Bowl Association.. "There are lots of factors that affect attendance whether it is the state of the economy, weather or the match-ups ... many things bowls have control over, and many they don't."
According to the FBA's statistics, the Rose Bowl matchup of Stanford versus Wisconsin drew the largest bowl crowd with 93,359 fans in attendance. In second place was the Cotton Bowl which featured Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel leading Texas A&M against Oklahoma. That game drew 87,025 fans which was the second-largest crowd in the game's 77-year history.
Don't forget about Matt's Murschel's weekly mail bag. If you have any college football questions you would like answered or just issues or players you would like his thoughts on please email him at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @osmattmurschel.

Measures may reduce stormwater runoff
|City of Cuyahoga Falls Rain Garden Reserve on Sixth Street is pictured, August 31, 2012, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Rain gardens use nature's forces to collect and clean stormwater runoff. Rain gardens are collections of native plants in slight depressions that are strategically situated to collect runoff. (Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT)
When it rains, it pours - and sometimes it floods or pollutes.
That's the problem with stormwater runoff, a condition that happens when rain falls so fast or heavily that it can't be absorbed by the earth.

Were Nike Sparqs Designed By Adidas?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
We've all seen the new Nike commercials telling us if we train using the Sparq method, our better will be better than yours, we'll have strong all day and we'll be quickiefied quick, quick (or whatever she says). However, the one thing Nike hasn't told us is who the hell made their shoes because the Nike Sparq trainers look more like adidas than they do Nike — even with the Swoosh. Observe:
Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels that way either. I don't know about you, but if I was designing a shoe that I wanted to explode across the pop culture universe, I don't think it would like anything like my competitor's offering.
Maybe Nike was banking on their commercials being the selling point instead of, you know, the actual product they are trying to get people to buy. Perhaps Nike's version smells like French toast as opposed to new leather and plastic (French toast?).
Or maybe Nike is trying to say, we can take your style, adidas, and make it fresher. Whatever the case, just remember, I've got strong all day.

A chance for people who love horses to "Saddle Up and Show They Care"Grand Forks, ND (WDAZ TV) --The 1st ever Horse Show is raising money to help children battling deadly diseases.
By: Lezlie Johnson, WDAZ, WDAY
Grand Forks, ND (WDAZ TV) --The 1st ever Horse Show is raising money to help children battling deadly diseases. 17-year-old Lilly Mankie has been saddling up and riding horses since she was two.
Lilly: They called me loping Lil' because I always went fast when I was little.
Mankie's ride with her horse Doc is extra special this time....trotting, galloping and racing for a good cause.
Lilly: It just makes it more special, you want to do better to see what you get.
She's one of nearly 30 riders taking part in "Saddle Up And Show you Care" a horse show raising money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Heather (Event Coordinator): I really enjoy putting on horse shows, especially a show like this to help young children and help their parents you know.
Riders show off their skills racing around barrels or riding with an egg in a spoon to see how long they can keep it in place.
Jaimie (Volunteer): St. Jude's is an awesome charity and if we had to do a fundraiser for someone, lots of kids need help.
Horse lovers like Mankie are happy to be making a contribution by doing what they do best...saddling up and riding.
Lilly: It's just peaceful you know, you get to be on something that's really hard to control, like has a mind of it's own so it's exciting at times.
It raised nearly 24 hundred dollars.

Comments about UNDER ARMOUR Hustle Backpack:
Very lightweight pack (much lighter than North Face)...good size (not huge) for a day trip yet streamlined in profile. Also managed heat a lot better than other packs (e.g., North Face). Doesn't have the chest strap to keep the shoulder straps together, nor does it have a waist strap. But it was still very egonomically comfortable. Only issue is that as a small female, the shoulder straps were a little wide on me near my armpits/biceps, and the straps rubbed me raw on my arms. Would definitely recommend women's fit styles over this one for petite persons.

32 bit and 64 bit are both compiled (UNOFFICIAL VERSIONS).
Please do not report bugs for this compile as it isn't a official developer release for testing.
IF you want to use Python with the version you will need to also download the Python-2.7-DLL zip file.
It is on the same website.Python 2.7 is included in the version (just needs the dll file)
Also Partha was kind enough to compile the wavelet plugins and Liquid Rescale for 2.7.2
IF you need help installing or anything else - holler at me with a PM or post here.
Thanks to Partha for all his work
NOTE: The python dll file goes in the C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2\Python folder
OR wherever you put Gimp-2.7.2\Python
IF you have Python-2.7 installed there is no need to grab the dll file as it is already on your machine.

Another day, another royal wedding. Okay, maybe these awesome events aren't exactly daily occurrences, but we're still coming off the high from that last one. Today Zara Phillips, daughter to Prince Anne and first cousin to Prince William, married her longtime boyfriend Mike Tindall.
And it seemed like a lovely affair! Of course, the whole royal crew was there — Queen Elizabeth, Princes William and Harry, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Kate Middleton/Duchess Catherine/we never know what exactly to call her. That said, the nuptials were much more low-key than Kate and William's. The decorated equestrian and her rugby player fiance wed at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh.
Zara wore an ivory silk gown designed by Stewart Parvin, and while it didn't have lace sleeves (our favorite, duh), it was not strapless! Hurrah! Zara also donned an ultra-long veil and a tiara. As expected, all of the lady attendees wore hats and the dudes wore morning coats. And because we know you're dying for deets, Kate opted a champagne-colored brocade dress coat paired with her favorite nude pumps and a floral pancake hat (at least that's what we're calling it). So, no, she was not a bridesmaid. Sigh.
And here is your visual guide to the big day:

this is some kind of spaceship or something.
