New CID The Bodyguard Collection
I love a musical, or anything theatre related – I also love 90′s films. So combine a classic with a musical and throw in some pretty make-up and I'm one happy girl. This is exactly what happened when I got to go along and watch The Bodyguard – and check out the new CID make-up collection that has been made especially for the partnership.
Now, about the show – it was good, if you love a good belting ballad and love to sing along to some classic Whitney, then you will be won over. But it is rather cheesy, and there are a few too many long and meaningful pauses which made me wonder if someone had forgotten lines rather than build intensity… but for cheesy entertainment, it's an absolute winner.
But onto the make-up collection…
The collection includes three cream/mousse shadows and two light-up lip glosses (amazing for applying somewhere that's a bit dark or for helping find your keys…). The two lip glosses are gorgeous – the pinky one with blue shimmer 'Obsession' is stunning but to be honest it's not a colour I would wear. The pale pink pearly shimmer 'Romance' is another pretty one that would look great layered over a creamy lip colour – especially on the cupids bow to ad a bit of volume…
Now the eye shades on the other hand, pure gorgeousness. The texture is hard to describe, creamy but really light, very bouncy but not as 'bubbly' as a mousse…the pigment is pretty impressive and the shimmer is subtle, not packed with hidden glitter that only appears when swatched. The dark/purple shade 'Diva' makes an amazing smokey eye and really has that gorgeous duo-chrome effect that's so pretty – the name couldn't be more perfect for a Bodyguard partnership! The pearly white shade 'Spotlight' is the right side of bright so it's flattering and not dated.
The pewter shade 'Melody' is oh so pretty and the one I see myself wearing most often – it's described as a smoky grey with a silver shimmer but I think it's more special than that and has some lovely muti-faceted tones to it.
The full kit of all five products is £35 (value £74) available now from newcidcosmetics.com

A kindergarten teacher's decision to get her young wards to sing a song from popular children's show Barney and Friends last Friday may have helped save their lives as gunfire erupted outside their school.
A certificate presented by the governor of the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon on Monday said teacher Martha Rivera Alanis showed "outstanding civic courage" in her steady performance during the Friday gunfight in the northern industrial hub of Monterrey.
Ms Rivera Alanis herself used her cell phone to tape the video, in which she is heard coaxing the 15 children to lie flat on the floor, reported AP.
"No, my love, nothing is going to happen, just put your little face on the floor," the teacher is heard telling one worried little girl.
Then, loud bursts of gunfire break out on the video, what local paramedics later confirmed was the sound of gunmen killing five people at a taxi stand about a block from the school.
More in The New Paper on Wednesday (June 1).

I am referring to the sales tax on food. I live in Anniston, where we now pay 10 percent sales tax on everything we buy, including milk and bread. Every time this issue comes up, one party or the other thinks more about how to replace the funds than the burden it brings to low-income Alabamians. They seem more concerned about money than about the welfare of our residents.
Here is a novel idea — a state lottery. At least a lottery is a voluntary tax and only those choosing to play pay that tax. Plus, look at all the additional income it brings in for states like Georgia, which has the top retailer of Georgia lottery sales right across the Alabama state line.
Since its inception, the Georgia lottery has transferred more than $14 billion to the State Treasury's Lottery for Education Account. It would be interesting to know how much of that came from Alabama residents. Oregon spreads its lottery funds around, plus it has no state sales tax. More than $50 billion has gone to fish hatcheries, which keep its lakes and rivers stocked, thereby drawing millions in revenue through tourism.
If you truly have a religious objection to a lottery, yet have no problem with taxing poor people on food items, that is no religion I want any part of. You also seem to have no problem operating liquor stores statewide. I ask you, what's the bigger sin, taxing my food that I need to survive or allowing adults the choice to give additional tax revenues to the state via a lottery? Are you just another politician who wants more from your constituents, or are you truly concerned about our well-being and quality of life?

Recently, students from across New York visited the Capitol to discuss Assemblyman James Skoufis' Tuition-Free NY bill with state legislators. CDNY Capital Region Chair and UAlbany chapter vice president Christian Chowdhruy took part in the lobby day and wrote an account of the event:
On March 11, College Democrats of New York met with members of the New York State Legislature to lobby for the Tuition-Free NY bill introduced by Assemblyman James Skoufis (D-Woodbury). While having discussions with legislators, we emphasized the fact that students don't want a handout, but are simply looking for a chance to make college affordable. This bill would implement an innovative financial aid option in which students can have their tuition waived in return for a commitment to community service.Each student will have to complete a minimum of 250 hours of community service for each year, or a minimum of 125 hours for students enrolled in a designated science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program. Recipients will also have to commit to staying in the state of New York for five years following graduation, meaning that students will not only help their local community while in school, but also contribute to economic growth and innovation upon receiving their degrees.
The College Democrats of New York (CDNY) took to the Capitol on Tuesday in an effort to lobby members of the New York State Legislature to pass the Tuition-Free NY bill, a proposal which would give New York students free tuition at SUNY and CUNY schools conditional on their completion of community service and establishing permanent residency in the State of New York.
"This bill is an innovative way to put college within the reach of deserving young New Yorkers and prevent the brain drain of young people leaving our state," said College Democrats of New York President Colin Crowley. "CDNY applauds strong leaders like Assemblyman Skoufis for having the foresight to do the right thing for the next generation of New York students."
With graduation and the summer fast approaching, most students are thinking about applying for jobs and internships. This week, the Stony Brook College Democrats collaborated with the Stony Brook College Republicans to host a bipartisan panel to help students hoping to pursue a career in politics make their applications as competitive as possible.
About 40 students attended the event, which featured speakers from the Stony Brook political science department, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, and campaigns for two candidates in the contentious 1st Congressional District -- Democratic Congressman Tim Bishop and Republican State Senator Lee Zeldin. A Stony Brook Career Center representative moderated the panel.
The College Democrats of New York were proud to present State Senator Mike Gianaris with the 2014 Visionary Award at Monday's Jefferson-Jackson Reception in Albany. The Visionary Award recipient is selected annually for having a deep and abiding respect for the young people of his constituency and of the State of New York and a commitment to their issues.
In case you missed it, Republicans in the New York area have been all over the news this week. And not for the greatest reasons.
Colin Crowley, President of the College Democrats of New York, issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address:
"The President has once again shown that he is on the side of students and young Americans. Whether you are in high school and examining your choices for the future, a college student planning for a career, a recent graduate paying down your debt, or a returning veteran seeking a new path, the President has laid out a plan of action that provides opportunity for you.
"We heard much of this agenda when the President toured Upstate New York last summer where he spoke directly to the young people of this state and renewed his commitment to the next generation. We in the College Democrats of New York are proud to have the President fighting for our values and priorities."
2013 was a great year for Democrats around the country, with historic electoral victories in Virginia as well as right here in New York. Here's a recap of what the College Democrats of New York were up to this year.

Darnell Dockett: I've got no issues with Kerry (Rhodes)
December 5, 2012: Dockett apologizes for incident at end of game Sunday
Darnell Dockett is sorry.
He is sorry for what happened between him and teammate Kerry Rhodes.
"Me and Kerry had a very heated argument at a very heatful time in the game," he said following practice Wednesday. "Some things (happened) between me and him. I apologized to Kerry. Kerry forgave me; and that's it. I look at Kerry as one of my brothers. I respect him. I've got no issues with Kerry."
Dockett though did have an issue with what was being asked of him at the time, which led to the argument.
"It was a situation that we totally didn't agree on," he said.
Dockett would not go into specifics but it's clear from listening to the nine-year veteran, he did not agree with the strategy to let the Jets score on purpose in order for the Cardinals to get the ball back.
"It was something I don't believe in, something I didn't understand. It was frustrating at the time," he said. "At the end of the day I am never, never going to lay down and quit. I've been playing football for over 20 years. I've given this organization, I've given Florida State, I've given my high school everything I've got. I love the game. I play with passion. I will never quit. I love what I do."
The question now is whether Dockett faces any discipline.
"I don't know," he said. "I can't control that. Any time I get on the field I'm going to play my ass off. Whatever decision is whatever. It's out of my hands."
"That's an in-house matter," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We've handled it in-house and we're going to move forward."

Lounging on the deck, Jesse Santana is relaxed and happily preoccupied stroking his thick cock. Trent Locke watches him with a sly grin and gets so turned on that he crawls up between Jesses legs to begin sucking him off. Holding Jesses big pole at its base, Trent opens wide and swallows it down, getting so aroused that his nipples stand out perky and erect. The guys move inside and Trent continues dazzling his buddy with his oral skills. While Trent is servicing him, Jesse reaches over to play with Trents furry ass, grabbing and spanking the round mounds before fingerfucking the sphincter. Then he begins rimming Trent, his tongue foraging through all the butt hair to get to the tasty manhole. Wanting more, Jesse pushes Trent face down on the bed, his hands clamped onto his butt cheeks for balance, and starts screwing Trents fine ass. Trent flips over onto his back, and Jesse continues fucking him hard until one after the other, they both shoot their wads.

What's not to love about green SUVs?
They're a delicious mash-up, the best of all worlds – fun and function without going broke at the pump. And there's no compromise whatsoever when it comes to luxury or performance. You can save the planet without giving up goodies like heated seats or navigation.
The 2013 crop of green crossovers is larger than ever, comprising everything from sensible family models to high-end luxury SUVs — compact models like the all-new Ford C-Max and Audi Q5 Hybrid up to the Mercedes-Benz GL 350 BlueTEC and everything in between.
The trend has much to do with high gas prices, of course, but also distinctly American attitudes toward their beloved rides, said Mike Omotoso, senior manager of global powertrain forecasting for LMC Automotive.
"Americans, although aware and concerned [with environmental issues and fuel economy], don't want to give up their three rows of seats, or versatility and cargo space," he said. "Americans like the idea of going places, doing things and bringing along a lot of stuff like camping gear and bikes, while still getting good fuel economy. We like to have our cake and eat it too."
Exactly. Now let's sample some of the tastiest new 2013 creations.
Green to the max
Generating considerable buzz, the all-new Ford C-Max Hybrid compact utility vehicle — replacing the popular Escape Hybrid — is everything a crossover enthusiast could crave, packed with versatility and breakout technology to go with 47 mpg efficiency and an impressive range of 570 miles per tank (both on the highway and in the city).
The folks at Ford are quick to point out that's roughly a round trip between L.A. and Las Vegas. Feel free to bring plenty of friends and luggage; the C-Max Hybrid seats five with nearly 100 cubic feet of interior space.
"The all-new C-Max Hybrid is a great symbol of how Ford has transformed into a fuel-economy and technology leader with 47 mpg across the board. City, highway and everywhere in between," said Joe Bakaj, Ford vice president of powertrain engineering.
"We've done this with innovation — represented by nearly 500 hybrid patents."
Staking out the growing plug-in segment, Ford's C-Max Energi doubles as a straight-up EV with an overnight charge through a standard 120-volt household outlet. But unlike most plug-in hybrids, the Energi's gas engine kicks in at higher speeds to offer considerable acceleration assistance to the EV motor — rather the reverse of a regular hybrid system.
Both C-Max models feature ample cargo space and advanced technology — hands-free liftgate, park assist and voice-command control included.
Toyota jumps into the budding EV market with its all-electric 2013 RAV4 compact crossover, the product of a collaboration with high-end electric-car pioneer Tesla Motors (which produced the vehicle's advanced lithium battery pack as well as its electric powertrain). This EV version of the RAV4 goes 103 miles on a full charge and gets an EPA-estimated 76 combined mpg-equivalent (MPG-e).
One of the hottest new hybrids, Toyota's Prius v brings crossover versatility to the iconic Prius family. The five-passenger Prius v — offering 42 mpg in-city fuel economy — expands the brand with a spacious interior and sliding second-row seats that fold down for more than 67 cubic feet cargo capacity.
This Prius showcases some of the latest tech: The Entune system accesses a galaxy of mobile apps, plus endless music and entertainment options including iHeartRadio, Pandora — even sports scores, stocks and weather. All that and hands-free voice text-messaging.
Euro class
Stepping up to premium grade, the all-new Audi Q5 Hybrid is a sweet compact crossover that packs all the amenities and attention to detail of the standard Q5, with a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder engine rated (along with its electric motor) at 245 horsepower.
Just now hitting U.S. dealerships, the Q5 Hybrid is outfitted with quattro all-wheel-drive to go with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Q5 is sort of a smaller sibling of the full-size Audi Q7, which offers a clean-diesel option, part of a burgeoning green segment that's weighted heavily toward import luxury.
Mercedes-Benz jump-started clean diesel in the U.S. in 2006 when it launched its BlueTEC brand, a growing lineup that recently expanded with the redesigned GL 350, sporting a fresh new look, more interior space and a tweaked 3-liter V-6 diesel engine that delivers 240 horsepower — 30 more than the 2012 model.
The seven-seat GL 350 is a sleek beast to behold, refined and packed with features such as standard adjustable air suspension and multimedia Comandcontrol system.
As with hybrid and EV drivetrains, clean-diesel is ideally suited for the SUV market — and luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz intend to capitalize by highlighting its many advantages.
"The BlueTEC campaign expresses our ambitious targets for the U.S. We want to make diesel driving popular here. Especially for SUVs," said Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Management Board Daimler AG, Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.

Calcium chloride, CaCl2, is a salt of calcium and chlorine. It behaves as a typical ionic halide, and is solid at room temperature. Common applications include brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on roads, and desiccation. Because of its hygroscopic nature, anhydrous calcium chloride must be kept in tightly sealed, air-tight containers.
Calcium chloride can serve as a source of calcium ions in an aqueous solution, as calcium chloride is soluble in water. This property can be useful for displacing ions from solution. For example, phosphate is displaced from solution by calcium:
- 3 CaCl2 (aq) + 2 K3PO4 (aq) → Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + 6 KCl (aq)
Molten calcium chloride can be electrolysed to give calcium metal and chlorine gas:
- CaCl2 (l) → Ca (s) + Cl2 (g)
Calcium chloride has a very high enthalpy change of solution. A considerable temperature rise accompanies its dissolution in water.
The anhydrous salt is deliquescent; it can accumulate enough water in its crystal lattice to form a solution.
Calcium chloride can be produced directly from limestone, but large amounts are also produced as a by product of the Solvay process. North American consumption in 2002 was 1,687,000 tons (3.7 billion pounds).[2] A Dow Chemical Company manufacturing facility in Michigan houses about 35% of the total U.S. production capacity for calcium chloride.[3]
Calcium chloride occurs as the rare evaporite minerals sinjarite (dihydrate) and antarcticite (hexahydrate). A related mineral chlorocalcite (potassium calcium chloride, KCaCl3) is also very rare.
Drying tubes are frequently packed with calcium chloride. Kelp is dried with calcium chloride for use in producing sodium carbonate. Adding solid calcium chloride to liquids can remove dissolved water. Anhydrous calcium chloride has been approved by the FDA as a packaging aid to ensure dryness (CPG 7117.02).[4]
These hygroscopic properties are also applied to keep a liquid layer on the surface of the roadway, which holds dust down.[5]
Deicing and freezing point depression[edit]
By depressing the freezing point of water, calcium chloride is used to prevent ice formation and to deice. This is particularly useful on road surfaces. Calcium chloride dissolution is exothermic, and the compound is relatively harmless to plants and soil; however, recent observations in Washington state suggest it may be particularly harsh on roadside evergreen trees.[6] It is also more effective at lower temperatures than sodium chloride. When distributed for this use, it usually takes the form of small, white balls a few millimeters in diameter, called prills. Solutions of calcium chloride can prevent freezing at temperature as low as −52 °C (−62 °F), making it ideal for filling agricultural implement tires as a liquid ballast, aiding traction in cold climates.[7]
Source of calcium ions[edit]
Calcium chloride is used to increase the water hardness in swimming pools. This reduces the erosion of the concrete in the pool. By Le Chatelier's principle and the common ion effect, increasing the concentration of calcium in the water will reduce the dissolution of calcium compounds essential to the structure of concrete.[citation needed]
In marine aquariums, calcium chloride is added to introduce bioavailable calcium for calcium carbonate-shelled animals such as mollusks and some cnidarians. Calcium hydroxide (kalkwasser mix) or a calcium reactor can also be used to introduce calcium, however calcium chloride addition is the fastest method and has minimal impact on pH.
As an ingredient, it is listed as a permitted food additive in the European Union for use as a sequestrant and firming agent with the E number E509. It is considered as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration[8] and is on the US National Organic Program's National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.[9] The average intake of calcium chloride as food additives has been estimated to be 160–345 mg/day for individuals.[10]
As a firming agent, calcium chloride is used in canned vegetables, in firming soybean curds into tofu and in producing a caviar substitute from vegetable or fruit juices.[11] It is commonly used as an electrolyte in sports drinks and other beverages, including bottled water. The extremely salty taste of calcium chloride is used to flavor pickles while not increasing the food's sodium content. Calcium chloride's freezing-point depression properties are used to slow the freezing of the caramel in caramel-filled chocolate bars.
In brewing beer, calcium chloride is sometimes used to correct mineral deficiencies in the brewing water. It affects flavor and chemical reactions during the brewing process, and can also affect yeast function during fermentation. Calcium chloride is sometimes added to processed milk to restore the natural balance between calcium and protein in casein for the purposes of making cheeses, such as brie, Pélardon and Stilton. Also, it is frequently added to sliced apples to maintain texture.
It is injected to treat internal hydrofluoric acid burns. It can be used to treat magnesium intoxication. Calcium chloride injection may antagonize cardiac toxicity as measured by electrocardiogram. It can help to protect the myocardium from dangerously high levels of serum potassium in hyperkalemia. Calcium chloride can be used to quickly treat calcium channel blocker toxicity, from the side effects of drugs such as diltiazem (Cardizem) — helping avoid potential heart attacks.[12]
Aqueous calcium chloride is used in genetic transformation of cells by increasing the cell membrane permeability, inducing competence for DNA uptake (allowing DNA fragments to enter the cell more readily).
There are possible side affects of taking calcium chloride orally or intravenously and it is not recommended that you take calcium chloride if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
- you are allergic (hypersensitive) to calcium salts
- you are taking medicines for heart problems (e.g. digitalis)
- you have low calcium levels due to kidney problems
- you have an excess of calcium present in either your blood or your urine
- you have breathing problems
Take special care with Calcium Chloride Intravenous Infusion if:
- you have kidney problems
- you have heart problems
- you suffer from an inflammatory disorder known as sarcoidosis [13]
Animal sterilization[edit]
Calcium chloride dihydrate (20% by weight) dissolved in ethanol (95% ABV) has been used as a sterilant for male animals. The non surgical procedure consists of the injection of the solution into the testes of the animal. Within 1 month, necrosis of testicular tissue results in sterilization.[14][15]
Calcium chloride is used in concrete mixes to help speed up the initial setting, but chloride ions lead to corrosion of steel rebar, so it should not be used in reinforced concrete.[16] The anhydrous form of calcium chloride may also be used for this purpose and can provide a measure of the moisture in concrete.[17]
Calcium chloride is used in swimming pool water as a pH buffer and to adjust the calcium hardness of the water.
Calcium chloride is included as an additive in plastics and in fire extinguishers, in wastewater treatment as a drainage aid, in blast furnaces as an additive to control scaffolding (clumping and adhesion of materials that prevent the furnace charge from descending), and in fabric softener as a thinner.
The exothermic dissolution of calcium chloride is used in self-heating cans and heating pads.
In the oil industry, calcium chloride is used to increase the density of solids-free brines. It is also used to provide inhibition of swelling clays in the water phase of invert emulsion drilling fluids.
CaCl2 acts as flux material (decreasing melting point) in the Davy process for the industrial production of Sodium metal, through the electrolysis of molten NaCl.
Calcium chloride is also an ingredient used in ceramic slipware. It suspends clay particles so that they float within the solution making it easier to use in a variety of slipcasting techniques.
Calcium chloride can act as an irritant by desiccating moist skin. Solid calcium chloride dissolves exothermically, and burns can result in the mouth and esophagus if it is ingested. Ingestion of concentrated solutions or solid products may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.[18]
Other possible side effects of taking calcium chloride include:
- A chalky taste in the mouth
- Hot flushes
- Lowered blood pressure
- Loss of appetite
- Feeling sick (nausea)
- Being sick (vomiting)
- Constipation
- Stomach pain
- Feeling weak
- Mental disturbances
- Extreme thirst
- Passing a large amount of urine
- Bone pain
- Calcium deposits in the kidney
- Kidney stones
- Irregular heart beat
- Coma
Any of these may be a sign of overly high calcium blood levels (hypercalcemia).[19]
Calcium chloride salts also tend to contain a small amount of metals, especially aluminum. Over time these metals can accumulate in the body and have a toxic effect.

I worked at Hotwire full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great building and location, good compensation, work/life balance, travel discounts. Recently transitioned from Waterfall to Agile software development which is much more transferable to other tech companies.
Cons – Employees are low energy and generally seem stuck in a rut. Hotwire sells a fun, smart culture, but many who progress through the ranks to management and senior management or are awarded recognition as representing Hotwire's core values do the bare minimum amount of work and rarely attend company events. Hotwire is a steady stream of income for its parent company (Expedia) and goals, products, and initiatives play it safe to keep the revenue coming in.
Advice to Senior Management – Reduce the amount of middle management, encourage education and skills development.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I'm from Germany.
I read in other threads that I would be able to buy an iPhone in France, but would not be able to use it without a French iTunes account. On Apple's UK online store page, I am not able to buy the iPhone since my billing and delivery address are not within the UK.
I was just wondering:
As I understand it, EU-laws (specifically the open market rules) should prevent Apple and the carriers to sell a specific iPhone offer only in one country of the EU.
What I mean is, I should not be banned from buying (or using) an iPhone from any EU-country, in any EU-country.
So, I should be able to buy the unlocked iPhone from France and use it in Germany and should be able to buy a UK iPhone, even if I am not a UK citizen.

Boca's Back: Carlos Bocanegra Returns to Chicago
Jul 7, 2004
"It's great to be back here," said Bocanegra, who arrived in the Windy City earlier this week in preparation for Sunday's friendly. "I know the city well and the fans are obviously great to play for, so I'm excited for Sunday to be able to play back in Chicago."
The 25-year old, who has 25 caps in two and a half years under manager Bruce Arena going into this weekend, was part of the first generation of Americans to go the "New American Route" that propelled him onto the international soccer scene. Bocanegra spent time with both the Under-20 and Under-23 Men's National Teams in 1999, and played every minute for the U-20s in the FIFA World Youth Championships in Nigeria that year.
His international experience with the youth teams overlapped with college at UCLA, where he was an All-American in 1999, and helped him earn a spot in the Nike Project-40 program. He then made his MLS debut in 2000, earning Rookie of the Year honors with the Fire, and in 2001 and 2002 he was named to the MLS Best XI, and was also the MLS Defender of the Year in both seasons.
His stand-out years in the MLS led to opportunities with the national team, and the challenging task of playing overseas in the English Premier League, signing with Fulham in early January and is now one of six Americans to be currently playing in the EPL.
"I think the process is different for everyone," said the defender, nicknamed Los. "I know quite a few guys who are happy in the MLS, living in the states. It's really on an individual basis. Hopefully for the guys who would like to [go overseas] I can help pave the way for them I guess you could say."
Last year, Bocanegra had his finest year of his career with the MNT, earning Chevrolet Man of the Match honors three times as he became the first U.S. defender since 1994 to score four goals in one year. He made 13 appearances for the national team, the most by a defender, and now has World Cup qualifying experience after playing the full 90 minutes against Grenada at Crew Stadium on June 13.
On Sunday, he will be joined on the U.S. roster by Fulham teammate Brian McBride, who's experience playing overseas has helped him make the transition.
"It's been great having him with me over there," he said. "He's there if I need to talk to him. We try to hang out and stuff, deal with our problems together."
"There are quite a bit of foreign players over there, but they've been nice to us for the most part. Every once in a while you get a crazy fan, but I don't think it's directed towards Americans, I think it's mostly because we're on the opposing team. It's been good, we blend in pretty well."
After two and a half years with the full national team and six months in London, Bocanegra has been leading by example in both practices and games.
"There are different kinds of leadership roles," Bocanegra said. "Obviously Claudio and a few of the other veterans have a different kind of role than myself, so I just try to come out and play hard and have my leadership rub off from the way I play, by working hard."
Right now, Bocanegra has his sights set on helping the United States continue their six-game unbeaten streak this weekend against a strong Polish side. So far this year, he has appeared in five games, including the 1-0 shutout victory against Poland in Plock on March 31, helping a defense that has held opponents to just two goals in those five games.
Down the road though, he hopes to continue building on his experiences with the national team through the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and has his sights set on Germany 2006.
"I would like to play in a World Cup first and foremost, and I'm sure after that my goals with the national team will change," he said.

Now, courtesy of Legend Films, PLAN 9 is getting a full 1080p high-definition remaster and it is set to hit stores everywhere on March 6th, 2012. Check out the details courtesy of DreadCentral.com below,
[i"]This is it! The most popular Atomic Age cult film of the twentieth century. Winner of two Golden Turkey Awards for Worst Picture and Worst Director of All Time, the immortal Edward D. Wood, Jr.! It's all here, the not-so-special effects, aliens in skating skirts zooming around in string-powered flying saucers to implement the ninth plan of Earth's conquest (the first eight failed) with an army of zombies (well, three actually), Vampira, Tor Johnson and Bela Lugosi in his legendary "postmortem" performance (with Ed's chiropractor standing in for Bela after his death). This truly original movie, Ed Wood's "Citizen Kane," is a hymn to all those who have ever tried to create something intelligent and meaningful, only to fail miserably every step of the way."[/i]
No bonus features or special details have been announced just yet but seeing this movie in high-def should be enough. Not only that but you can witness Bela Lugosi famed final movie and all it's B-roll repetition in this horrific classic.

Best Restaurant Painting, Revisited San Francisco 2000 - The Kiss II
Last year, we gave this honor to The Butler's in Love -- Absinthe, at Bix, by artist Mark Stock. But a funny thing happened while we were researching the award: Staff at Bix provided a postcard depicting Butler, plus another of The Kiss II, which also hangs at Bix and was also, as it so happens, painted by Stock. We put both on our desk, contemplated them for a year, and while the eerily smoldering Butler is still one of our favorite restaurant paintings, there's something about Kiss we just can't get over. A simple portrait of a clown kissing a ballerina (and vice versa), the painting seems to comment on the roles we play in life, and how easily they dissolve in the throes of passion. Or maybe Kiss is saying all men are clowns. Regardless, it's one hell of a painting.

I was there to pick up medicine for my (homebound) mother. The cashier asked the customer in front of me for her insurance info, she said she had none, the cashier said ok, then your total is $140.00. The woman froze up for a few seconds, then said never mind and walked away.
This post may be 100% legit but the DUmmies have been caught making shit up so many times I just look at a post like this and sigh. You know these pricks just love posts like this and they're simple to make up and impossible to disprove.

Tower Private Advisors
- Broccoli
- Earnings peak
- Mixed economics
Don't miss a couple of posts to the blog. One's comical; the other, frightening. Click the hyperlinks below.
Capital Markets Recap
Chart School
The chart below is a two-year history of the S & P 500. I chose two years since it captures the all-time high in the index. I've overlaid it with a series of lines that cause my colleagues to roll their eyes. The most incorrigible among them seems to always reference broccoli in his side-bursting witticisms. The lines are based on a series of numbers determined by Leonardo of Pisa. He was the son (filius, Latin for son) of Bonaccio; thus, Fibonacci. He came up with the series by pondering a question about the reproduction rates of rabbits. [I'm not kidding.] In doing so he came up a series of numbers that are found throughout history (Egyptian pyramids), art (many of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings) , nature (broccoli), and security prices. You may recall the word from Dan Brown's The Davinci Code. If you are some sort of math fiend you can find more information by clicking here. If you're more likely to get invited out to dinner by Joe the Plumber, click here.
In short, the Fibonacci sequence goes like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so forth, where the preceding two numbers add up to the following (e.g. 0 + 1 = 1; 8 + 13 = 21; etc.) There's a relationship between each number and the one that preceded it: 1.618 (e.g. 89/55). There's also a relationship between each number and the one that follows it: 0.618 (e.g. 55/89). There are minor relationships as well, including 50% (e.g. 1/2).
We can apply those ratios to the distance between the bottom and top of a security's price action to come up with likely support and resistance levels in corrections. This is called a Fibonacci Retracement. While I don't do it here, we could also find where a security's likely to go once it's making new highs by making a Fibonacci Projection.
What we can take from this is that the index should run into trouble at about 1015, which marks the 38.2% retracement, then 1122, then 1230. 1015 should prove to be a considerable hurdle for the market, maybe even more than the 1000 level, which proved to be just a rest stop on the way down. A common criticism of technical analysis is that it works because so many people expect it to. That may be, and you may have your own weighty criticisms, but irregardless (yes, I know) the 1015 neighborhood will prove to be considerable resistance, mark my typage, and keep in mind that risk goes up as prices go up.
We may be rubes at Tower Private Advisors, but the 1000 level of the Standard & Poor's 500 makes us nervous. We will likely raise some cash in accounts on a sprint through that level. The index needs some time to consolidate the gains from the mid-July move, which it hasn't yet had.
Imagine playing Red Rover against a line of big kids. It's not the lean and quick little runt runt who makes it through; rather, it's the big lumbering bruiser who eventually gets through.
And the dreadful macroeconomic backdrop to the markets still gives us pause. So long as that continues ugly, we're going to have itchy sell-trigger fingers.
Top Stories
This week marked the busiest of the second quarter earnings reporting weeks. 148 companies reported results, and 75% of them beat the expectations of the sheep analysts. That was the same rate at which they had bettered results in the weeks prior, which is better than the usual 68% rate. For once, the Finance sector companies didn't turn in the worst results. Those were turned in by the Energy sector (-83.3% year-over-year earnings drop) and the Materials sector (-70.1%). Again, Health Care had the best results (+5.69%), along with Utilities (+2.11%). Want to do relatively well the next time the market goes in the loo? Own Health Care and Utility stocks. Want to get left out in the next rally? Own Health Care and Utility stocks. There's a cost to consistency. Next week's earnings action is dominated by Utilities, Energy, and Finance sector releases, as 94 companies arrive at the confessional.
This Week
As happens around turning points the economic data points were mixed this week. New Home Salesrose sharply compared to May results (384,000 v. 342,000) and encouraged the bulls who didn't bother to look at the heights from which home sales had fallen. Judge for yourself from the graph below if perhaps folks are getting a little too excited.
According to a blog post at The Big Picture, sales were boosted by Federal first-time home buyer credits and California tax credits, as if the land of fruits and nuts can afford that. Indeed, sales in the West were up by 22.6% in the West, but that was only good enough for third place behind the Northeast (+29%) and the Midwest (+43.1%). Encouragingly, inventories fell to a level of 8.8 months worth, which was the lowest since late 2007. That was the week's first bit of good news, but in the face of falling home prices it does bring into question the strength of housing just now, and you can see that in the chart below. As always, click to enlarge.
MBA Mortgage Applicationsfell this by 6.3%, after rising last week. Then there was the Case-Shiller Home Price Index data. It showed home prices continuing to decline on a year-over-year basis, but at a declining rate, which you can see in the chart below and to the right. Note that while the line has turned up, it remains well below the zero line. The turned up portion is Ben Bernanke's "green shoots" and the White House's "economic recovery."
Durable Goods Orders were, on their face, disappointing, as they fell by more than four times as much as economists expected. When large orders for things like airliners are factored out, however, the report was quite strong. In fact, it was infinitely stronger than economists expected (+1.1% versus 0%).
Initial Jobless Claims rose by 30,000 (from an upward-revised 559M to 584M). Continuing Claims–the rolls of those continuing to collect insurance–fell, surprisingly, but was likely the result of benefits running out for some.
Second Quarter GDP was the report that was awaited all week, and it contained a mix of good and bad. First, we didn't know how bad the first quarter really was. GDP for the first quarter was revised down from -5.5% to -6.4%. Second, the Q2 release was -1.0%, which was better than economists expected (-1.5%). Much of this Advance release was estimated and will be revised lower or higher in the ensuing two months. Last week's dispatch mentioned looking at GDP net of Inventory adjustments to come up with Final Sales (aka Aggregate Demand). We do that by adjusting the headline figure (-1.0%) for the drop in inventories of (-)0.83%. That produces Final Sales of -0.17%, which marks a big improvement over the (-)4% drop in Q1. Not surprisingly, given the increase in consumer savings, Personal Consumption fell (-1.2%) versus the first quarter (0.6%, revised downward from 1.4%).
Next Week
Monday - the week kicks off with a look at ISM Manufacturing, the nationwide survey of purchasing managers. Economists expect it to have edged closer to the demarcation line between expansion and contraction. Last month's report showed strength in all but one of the component indexes (new orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries.) Naturally, that was the employment component. Chances are high it'll be the weak link this time, too. Total Vehicle Sales are due to be released on Monday, too, and economists expect a slight uptick (+3%) in volume (from 9.7 million annual rate to 10.0 million). Judging by the success of the Government's Cash-for-Clunkers program, there might be an upward bias to the release.
Tuesday – on this day we get Personal Income and Spending, which report will also give us the Savings Rate. Some savvy folks expect the savings rate to have dropped after last month's spike. We shall see, but it remains a critical component to the economy's recovery path and likely presages a lousy back-to-school shopping season, which always correlates strongly with the holiday shopping season. We also get the first of two housing data points in Pending Home Sales.
Wednesday – on the heels of it comes MBA Mortgage Applications, which have largely been re-finance related and, not surprisingly given that, entirely dependent on mortgage rates. The more important report of the day will be the ADP Employment Change index. It is expected to show a drop in employment of (-)335,000. Intended to front-run Friday's employment situation report, it usually fails miserably. The ISM Non-Manufacturing composite is due out. As silly as the moniker "non fiction," the report could better be called the ISM Service Sector report. This index was one of the last ones to throw in the towel as the economy began to decline, and it's also had a shallow decline. Although it sports a higher number (48) than the Manufacturing version, its component indexes don't look as good. Given the transition of our economy to more service driven, this is a series to watch closely.
Thursday – Initial Jobless Claims is the only report of interest to us on this day. Economists expect another uptick to 595,000, while we expect 619,000. Hopefully, we're way high.
Friday – none of any of that will matter at 8:30, with the release of Nonfarm Payrolls, which is probably the single-best gauge for what's going on in the economy, although the trend is more important than one month's data. Economists expect that (-)340,000 jobs were shed in the month of July, with 100,000 of the decline having come from the manufacturing sector. If those economic dreams come true, they will mark considerable improvements in the rates of decline in both. Meanwhile, the Unemployment Rate, which comes from the Household Survey, is expected to have ticked up by 0.10% to 9.60%. From September 2008, the unemployment rate rose in a virtual straight line until June, when it rose by just 0.10%, so a similar reading should cement the trend. As much as you'd hate to, don't forget the chart below. It's the one that shows the government spin job, which doesn't seem to have a political party preference (click to enlarge.)
Here's hoping you enjoy the shorter days of summer as we charge into August, the 2/3 mark of the year.

AT&T offers Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management for optimal connectivity and guest experience. We also provide network security for Point of Sale (POS) and WAN/LAN traffic management.
Designing a hotspot? The AT&T design process for a Wi-Fi solution typically includes:
- Needs assessment - During the pre-sales assessment phase, we work with your team to understand your current and future needs so we can help create a logical network design.
- Design – Using the results of the assessment, we design the physical network and create a detailed plan that takes into account your future capacity needs. A team of engineers provides assurance that the configuration meets the needs of the applications and devices you intend to deploy.
- Implementation - AT&T Wi-Fi Services personnel can transform the hotspot design into a functional network tailored to your venue. From the initial assessment through deployment of switches, access points and other infrastructure elements to integration with your existing network, we can provide the expertise and guidance you need to have your Wi-Fi hotspot solution up and running quickly.
In addition, when deploying the AT&T Wi-Fi Area Network, our fully managed offering, we design a solution to meet the coverage, capacity, application and user group demands at each venue. This begins with a comprehensive site survey that takes into account customer-specified aesthetics, local building codes and technical specifications.

Season 2013/14
On this day: 15 July
- 15 July 2013 08:20
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City's history.
Saturday 15 July 1995
Midfielder Georgi Kinkladze signs for the Blues from Dinamo Tbilisi for a fee of £2m. Little was known of 21-year-old when he signed for City other than he scored a sumptuous goal against Wales, once played for Boca Juniors and his hero was Diego Maradona.
New manager Alan Ball claims the Georgian will have the City fans 'hanging from the rafters' to watch him play.' Ball is proved correct as Kinky proves to be one of the most gifted players ever to wear a sky blue jersey, though his time with City coincides with the club dropping two divisions in three years. A genuis.
Watch him in action...
