He makes good girls... bad.
Dante Walker is flippin' awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence have made him one of hell's best — a soul collector. His job is simple: weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.
Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante's an equal-opportunity collector and doesn't want it any other way. But he'll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:
Collect Charlie Cooper's soul within ten days.
Dante doesn't know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that's a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky Nerd Alert chick he's come to collect, he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector…and uncover emotions deeply buried.
You read the synopsis, right? So there's a whole lot of talk about this dude called Dante, and you probably a) rolled your eyes OR b) was like "hell yeah!".
I was something in between, meaning I casually rolled my eyes a little and in a small voice whispered "hell yeah".
Some small part of me was definitely excited for this kind of dude, but so many times I've been disappointed. Cause many times those badass dudes are written by female authors and you can just tell that right away. Meaning, no matter how tough they try to act, they end up being ridiculous douches, just screaming "Look how tough I try to act yet I wouldn't even dare to use word poop."
And now I got some good news: Dante actually is a badass!! He has a huge ego, bad manners and his duty is to lure good girls into trouble. And he actually sounds like a guy when doing all that! So yeah, Dante definitely can make good girls bad. At least in the beginning. And you tolerate his bad manners because you know he actually has a good heart. Despite the fact he's a demon and all.
So the beginning of the book is all about Dante making good girl do bad things, and that was just awesome. But then came the but. The bad boy fells in love with the good girl, and all the bad manners are byebye. Damn! The first actual eyeroll came when I got to the part where Dante swears eternal love to Charlie. Or something like that, can't really remember because of all the eyerolling.
Then there's Charlie, the ultimate good girl. I mean, there's no one better in the world. I'm dead serious. And she definitely would've deserved some extreme eyerolling with all the charity work and beauty flaws. So imagine my surprise when I managed not to roll my eyes until the whole Dante- scene came along! I did occasionally thought about it, but did not roll my eyes! *pat my head*
I still didn't feel that connected to Charlie, her character felt actually pretty distant and I never really got to know her that well.
But over all, writing characters so good and so evil could've ended up being a complete disaster, so the author definitely deserves the applause for doing such a great job! Not only with the characters, but also with the plot, since she managed to bring some new twists for the old good VS. evil story.
And she managed to give Dante a whole new life, as The Liberator, and that's definitely something to check out!

Are you looking for a crafty, creative valentine to make with your kiddo? A non-food valentine or at least a valentine that if free of the Top 8 Allergens?
Well, hopefully you will find an idea or two here or get inspired to create your own. These are my Top 10 Allergy Friendly Valentines and I'm glad I didn't have to choose which one to do. My kids got that job and now they can't wait to share them with their classmates.
1. Rainbow Loom Valentine - found at Stitch Craft Creations. There is also a really cute Olympic Valentine on this site.
2. Bubbles Valentine - found at Made To Be a Momma
5. Valentine Pencil - found at Raising Up Rubies...which by the way I cannot wait to spend my night looking at her blog...super cuteness!!!!
7. Glow Stick Valentine - at The Teacher Wife
8. Star Wars Valentine - found at Stitch-Craft
9. Bouncey Ball Valentine - found at The Crafting Chicks
10. Freezie Pop Valentine - Josie has fallen in love with penquins recently, it may be all of the cold weather getting to her. She wanted to find a penguin valentine. We found this cute little penguin valentine that says "Let's Chill" and made them into a freezie pop holder. They are free of the Top 8 Allergens but do contain food dyes. Health food stores often carry freezie pops without artificial coloring (however, they may be seasonal). My little girl was so excited to make these and the freezie pops were not easy to find since we live in the middle of a winter wonderland, but I was on the hunt. After a several stops, one of our grocery stores had the big box of 100 in the back of the store...whew!
Ok...so I have a couple more valentine's to share with you...
11. Olaf Valentine - we found this adorable idea/printable at One Creative Mommy. To make them allergy friendly...we used gluten free pretzels and Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips. The candy corn did contain egg whites so Mom put those in after my daughter did the rest of the assembling. Another nose option without eggs is using an orange gummy candy and cut it in the shape needed.
Confession time: Anna was extremely excited about passing these out. We sat together and assembled them all and then while speaking to our school nurse, she very kindly reminded me we can't pass out homemade treats. DUH! Oh my word, I felt just horrible. I felt bad that Anna couldn't pass them out to her class but felt even worse, that I, the mother of a severely food allergic child and food allergy advocate who knows better, almost brought these in, which would have been against the rules. Rules they have established to try to help protect kids with food allergies during class parties. I guess we all make mistakes from time to time. I'm so thankful she reminded me before we brought them into school. This almost-oops has given me more compassion for families without food allergies and the efforts they make to help protect kids with food allergies. And on the bright side, we had a whole bunch assembled that we could share with the school office staff and they were tinkled pink about them.
So what did Anna do? Thankfully, we had a ton of freezie pops leftover, so we used those with her valentines. It was a great learning experience for myself and my daughter.

"Fancy Free," "Prodigal Son," "Firebird"
New York City Ballet
David H. Koch Theater
New York, NY
January 24, 2010
By Carol Pardo
Copyright © Carol Pardo 2010
Sets, costumes, stories, characters--at the New York City Ballet? Well yes. The program entitled "Short Stories" strays about as far from the company's reputation for black leotards, blue cycloramas and architectonic plotless works as it is possible to get. Another company staple, the maxim "Ballet is woman," is contradicted by the primacy given to male dancing in both "Fancy Free" and "Prodigal Son." Contradicted, too is the predilection for the new: the youngest of these ballets just turned sixty, the oldest eighty.
"Fancy Free" combines the universal and the specific: too many guys for too few girls on a hot summer night New York in 1944. Joaquin De Luz, Tyler Angle and Amar Ramasar as the three sailors on shore leave looking to become half a couple -- if only until daybreak -- respond in unison to the rhythms of both score and choreography, camaraderie made kinetic. The advent of two women brings out the competitive instinct in the characters, too roughly and aggressively danced this time out. Rhythmic subtlety is lost along with our sympathy for the characters. The pas de deux becomes a quick hook up, devoid of any sense of tentative attraction or tenderness. If only someone could hear Robbins' ghost saying "Easy, baby. Just mark it. Easy." Only Kaitlyn Gilliland, as the third woman -- too little, too late in the arithmetic of the story -- seems to have done so. Often played as a ditsy blond with the soul of Eve the Temptress, Gilliland plays her delicately, like a vision, offering the possibility of a shared night on the town, but leaving the decision up to the guys. Not surprisingly, they take her up on it.
"Prodigal Son," a distillation of the Biblical story of rebellion, debasement and repentance, was made in 1929 by George Balanchine, to show off the male dancer, originally Serge Lifar, here Daniel Ulbricht. Like most everyone who has danced the part, Ulbricht has no trouble with the flashy jumps and turns of the impatient and rebellious youth, but comes to grief during the long trip home when the overt dance steps dry up.
This performance belonged to Teresa Reichlen as the Siren. From her first entrance, on pointe, seen from the side, she's larger than life, and colder, those long legs lethal. She catches sight of the Prodigal immediately, focusing on him like a boa constrictor on a mouse, and we know he's done for. During the pas de deux, he's repeatedly drawn to her like a fly to a spider's web, until the final moments when, layering their legs together, the Prodigal is caught for good, and the Siren moves in for the kill. As the duet ends, she draws his head to her breast, an image of motherhood perverted. But Reichlen has more than the legs for the part. She executes the steps cleanly, without exaggeration. When the Siren exhibits herself by walking across the stage on her hands and extending her legs, too many dancers have taken this to be an opportunity to show off the mobility of their hip joints, letting that leg hit the nose. Not here. That leg remains perpendicular to the stage (and to her nose) like a knife blade glistening in the light--the purity of the ballet vocabulary perverted in the service of evil.
"Firebird" opens with another man out of his element. Charles Askegard, as the Prince, makes it very clear that the woods in which he finds himself are strange, menacing, scary. Magic is possible -- even probable -- here, both the violent magic of Kastchei who imprisons maidens and the benevolent magic of the Firebird who provides the means to free them. The Firebird at the is performance was Maria Kowroski. She's beautiful to watch, with that head straight out of Brancusi's studio, the long neck and legs, riveting carriage and unforced fluidity. If only her Firebird were more creaturely, wilder, with more than a degree or two of separation from Odette and "Swan Lake."
The ballet, with its sets and costumes by Marc Chagall, was an unalloyed his when it premiered at City Center in 1949. Perhaps the attack on the Prince by Kastchei's minions and the finale were more concentrated and therefore powerful on that smaller stage. Now the monsters seem comical and the hero has more than enough room to maneuver around them. The finale seems under populated, and not as luxurious as it should. Perhaps, if the point of the ballet now is the story and Chagall, it doesn't matter much.

On Wednesday 10 December 2014, the IET announced the winner of their Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award.
The award celebrates inspirational female engineering role models who can help to inspire more girls to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects at school – and well…go on to become engineers.
The engineering and technology skills gap is getting bigger – how big? Well, only 6% of women make up the engineering industry, meaning the UK will need to find 87,000 new engineers each year for the next decade.
This is a huge deal!
Latest research from the IET shows that only 1% of parents choose engineering as a career for their daughters compared to 11% of parents who choose it for their sons.
Even Labour Leader Ed Miliband thinks this is a total joke!
"Britain's lack of female engineers should be a "matter of national embarrassment. In 2013, only 14% of engineering graduates were women. And only 4% of professionally registered engineers are female. The next Labour government will seek to put the UK back at the forefront of invention, technology and engineering with a national mission to create an extra 400,000 engineers by 2020. We are determined to make it happen. And we have a plan to make it happen."
So female engineers, if you're out there, the industry needs you, like now!
In the meantime, this year's IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year will be here to champion role models and hopefully convince your parents that engineering is a creative, exciting and interesting career choice for you.
This year's award finalists are:
• Naomi Mitchison (from Selex-ES) – Senior Hardware engineer, working on laser warning systems for military aircraft.
• Lucy Ackland (from Renishaw) – Project manager, working on the next generation of 3D printing machines.
• Laurie Ann Marshall (from ABB) – Apprentice circuit engineer, designs protection and control systems for electricity sub-stations.
• Jessica Bestwick (from Rolls Royce) – apprentice working with developing and testing large aircraft engines.
• Hannah Pearlman (from Ford) – working on the cooling systems for the new model Ford Fiesta.
Steph McGovern from BBC Breakfast will reveal the award winners at the ceremony taking place at West Minister Ballroom, Park Plaza, London.

New automated security lanes at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's main terminal will make air travel safer and more efficient for the nearly 12 million people who are screened here annually, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
But it will take a little time to get used to.
"Wait, what's going on here?" one woman asked a TSA agent Tuesday, as she tried to hoist her suitcase onto the security conveyor belt.
TSA formally introduced four "innovation lanes" at the south checkpoint in Terminal 1 a week ago and showed them off Tuesday to reporters.
It's part of a national rollout of the lanes — MSP is the seventh airport in the nation to be outfitted.
The north checkpoint at Terminal 1 will likely be outfitted next year, according to Patrick Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which runs MSP and paid for the equipment.
The $2.1 million system focuses on bags and luggage travelers lug aboard — it does not involve body screening.
The system features bins that are 25 percent larger than typical containers. Travelers place the requisite items in them (shoes, belts, laptop computers, jackets, and even suitcases) and push the bin onto a conveyor belt that then inches toward a TSA agent checking for contraband using X-ray equipment.
Questionable bags get diverted automatically to a separate conveyor belt for further screening, eliminating the need for TSA agents to dig through a line of luggage for the targeted bag. This allows other bins to move along seamlessly without jamming up the works.
The bins are automatically returned to the front of the line, eliminating the need for TSA officers to stack and reposition them, another task that can lengthen security lines.
Each bin is assigned a radio-frequency identification tag, allowing for additional accountability of a traveler's carry-on bag as they move through security. A camera takes a photo of the outside of each bag and also shares the X-ray image of its contents side-by-side, so TSA personnel are assured they're searching the right bag, if need be.
The new system will "increase the efficiency, automate functions previously carried out by TSA personnel and enhance security," said TSA spokeswoman Lorie Dankers.
Currently, TSA employs 654 full-time equivalent employees at MSP, and says it does not plan to downsize any jobs as a result of the automation.
On Tuesday afternoon, the automated lines appeared to be moving along with limited wait times.
Bob and Rita Sundberg of Brainerd, who were en route toDubrovnik, Croatia, gathered their belongings on the secure side of the checkpoint after using the new automated lines. "It's a little confusing when you change things," but not difficult to master, Rita Sundberg said.
The new system does not eliminate the need for passengers to remove liquids or their laptops from carry-on luggage. And they don't affect passengers who have TSA Precheck or Clear status, which use separate lines. Likewise, travelers with bulky items, such as car seats or strollers, must use the "old school" screening method.
TSA officials concede there will be a learning curve with the new system. "That's the case when there's something new," Dankers said.
A big test will be Minnesota Educator Academy (MEA) week beginning Oct. 19. TSA officials expect daily screenings to surge to 47,000 passengers on Oct. 18, compared with 34,000 normally. The long weekend off from schools is a popular travel time for families, and TSA traffic has already increased 5.5 percent so far this year.
Long delays were reported over a three-week period while the new lanes were built beginning late August, which coincided with a $1.6 billion face-lift underway at the airport.
"No one likes to be inconvenienced by construction, but everyone likes improved infrastructure," the MAC's Hogan said. "Unfortunately that involves some temporary inconvenience while the improvements are made." He said the MAC received just three complaints during construction, but there was negative chatter on social media.
TSA says about 92 percent of travelers clear security at MSP in less than 15 minutes. But that also depends on the day one is traveling.

Uni Open Day
So Sam and I went to a Uni Open day a few weeks back and this is what I wore. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and I still have no idea. Right now all I want to do is have a baby and be a mum. Is that bad? I don't have any career goals aside from wanting to raise my children. I feel so ready and clucky. I may sound like a bit of a git, but whatever. I can't wait to be a mum.

|Nicolas, my son, you are a very special little boy.
I love you so much and I am so very happy that you are my son.
In the past, Mother's Day was a day that I dreaded. I usually spent the day either depressed, crying or some sad combination of the two. Before I even fall asleep tonight (this morning) I already know that this Mother's Day will be different, special and wonderful. I know that it will be a day filled with joy - because every day with you is!

text: Tsunami Custom Firmware for Herotab C8 & compatibles. The developer: Mr. T. L. Bardell Jr., or tlbardelljr, is a well known & most popular custom firmware (CFW) developer for the Viewsonic gTablet. He is best known for the CFW Flashback Android 3.0 HoneyComb. The CFW has approximately 50,000 users worldwide. In addition, he developed other CFW's based on Android 2.2 Froyo & Android 2.3 Gingerbread plus the contribution to the development of HoneyComb custom kernel. His latest contribution is the Tsunami CFW, which is based on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, for the Herotab C8 & compatibles tablets. The features: . Current version 1.8 . Gingerbread 2.3.4 . Support user selectable configuration at flashing for either the traditional internard sdcard mount or the unique external sdcard mount. The latter one is most unique among all current firmwares, either stock and custom. The default setting allows apps & user data to be installed and stored on the external sdcard. This feature made the upgrade and/or back-up to larger sdcard easily without the need to connect to a PC. . Support user selectable configuration at flashing to enable BlueTooth, NTFS and 3G. The features are disabled by default for battery conservation. . Support BlueTooth, NTFS, 3G (Huawei E180, E251, E220, E1750, E156G). . Support Flash Player 11. . Support Camera . Support YouTube . Support popular video formats (mostly depend on user apps) . Support Gallery, Music, Market, Talk. . Support Wifi, VPN . Support custom GUI (Graphic User Interface) with beautiful animation and various custom setting. . Support ADW Launcher . Support App2SD . Support HDMI output . Built in free Titanium Backup, Root and SuperUser. . Compatible with popular games. . Small foot print. just over 92 MB. Review: Tsunami Website [ROM] Tsunami - Gingerbread V1.7 12/04/11 [Herotab C8] - SlateDroid.com We tested the firmware on a couple of C8's and a C8M. After downloading the firmware from the original posting at Slatedroid, we extracted the content of the firmware onto an micro sdcard (which was previously formatted in FAT 32), then inserted it into a TF slot of the tablet and booted up with Menu + Power buttons. The first boot took over a minute. Regular boot up time afterward was exceptional quick, in under a minute. Our first impression was WOW. App window flied across the screen beautifully and smoothly unlike anything that we have seen on other firmwares. After wifi setting and google account setup, which was a snap, we connected to market. All our apps were there for downloading. We also tried to search and install a few free apps & games. No problem whatsoever. We love Plants vs Zombies, Fieldrunners HD and Asphalt 6.0. After restoring the apps & there games' data, the games played effortlessly. Some users reported issue with certain 3D games and requested a lower CPU setting. The Tsunami development team agreed to consider that option in a future release. See our list of tested games below. We tested google earth and google maps with street view option. No surprise there. Everything displayed smoothly and effortlessly. We tested Aldiko reader, BBC News, CNN news, Opera web browser, youtube, mail and a few others. Everything worked well. Video streaming is important to us, so we downloaded UPnPlay and Rockplayer. UPnPlay connected to our HP MediaSmart Server quickly and Rocplayer kicked in to stream. Our collection of videos is mostly in 720P and in mkv, mp4, avi, flv. All streamed well without lagging with our D-Link DGL4500 and Netgear WNDR 3800. We tested NTFS and BlueTooth. All worked well. We did not test 3G as we have no equipment. Some users reported that 3G function needs more fine tune. The development team mentioned that future release will address that, plus a few other features that users requested. In summary, we found the Tsunami CFW to be most pleasant and useful to use. Perhaps we could summed up it up in three words, Funtional + Stable + Speedy. We highly recommended this CFW over any others that are currently available.

Friends With Benefits opens July 22, and more annoying than the fact that some studio executive probably said, "You know who I want to see in a movie? Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis!" is the fact that this movie comes out a brief six months after No Strings Attached, which is basically the same story line. Sure, we all got a little mad when Hangover II ended up being pretty much the same thing as Hangover I, but who doesn't go into a sequel without expecting it to be somewhat like the original?
What I have a problem with are movies that purport to be completely separate franchises but are essentially the same story. To make matters more infuriating, these movies tend to appear around the same time, have actors of similar bone structure and have the same number of words in their titles.
In Friends With Benefits, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis star as two friends who like to have sex with each other without all of that icky relationship stuff. Of course, there ends up being some kind of complication because it turns out they really like each other and I'm guessing there's a scene of someone running through the streets in the rain.
I really liked this movie the first time I saw it...when it was called No Strings Attached. Okay, maybe that was a rehashing of a David Spade joke, but if the studios aren't even going to try, why should I?
And why are these movies coming out within months of each other? Did Hollywood think that we were just dying for yet another movie about a guy and a girl who are friends but decide to have sex because it's easier than being in a "real relationship"? Did they not think we could just rewatch that episode of Sex and the City?
In any case, this is nothing new, and Hollywood has remade itself time and time again. So, just to drive home our point, we came up with five pairs of movies that are way too much alike.
1. The Illusionist and The Prestige. Both are gothic dramas about magicians. The Illusionist gets points for being "artier." The Prestige, on the other hand, has Michael Caine.2. Love Actually and Valentine's Day
Both have star-studded casts and revolve around multiple stories about love and relationships.Love Actually
, however, has touching performances by Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson;Valentine's Day
, lamentably, has Ashton Kutcher.3. Armageddon and Deep Impact.
Comets are out to destroy the world in each of these movies. InArmageddon
, a team is sent to space to destroy the comet.Deep Impact
focuses on those who are chosen to survive.Armageddon
has better special effects, more Hollywood badassery and a more satisfying ending, butDeep Impact
paints a better picture of human nature. Kind of.4. Volcano and Dante's Peak
I took a course in geology for summer school one year. Apparently,Dante's Peak
is accurate in terms of what happens when a volcano erupts, andVolcano
isn't.Dante's Peak
also has eye candy in the form of Pierce Brosnan.5. Murder By Death and Clue
Both are about groups of people invited to a dinner party and eventually called upon to solve the murder of the host.Clue
was based on the popular board game and was released with three different theatrical endings.Murder by Death
was written by Neil Simon and has a killer cast that includes Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Maggie Smith and David Niven;Clue
's got hilarious performances by Madeline Kahn and Tim Curry. In the end, though, it'sMBD

Forces and Farces for a New American Collapse
Catastrophic and catalyzing events are becoming blasé as the sinking American ship of state drifts rudderless with all guns blazing. The latest war strategy, for example, hastily concocted by the White House and announced mid-week on prime-time TV, seems remarkably similar to the last one:
- Arm a non-existent opposition In Syria whose members have already joined ISIS and whose leadership are the subject of viral Internet videos in which they are captured jacking-off to Internet porn in front of hacked laptops.
- Accuse Assad of supporting ISIS, including the possibility of his supplying them with of non-existent WMD
- Refuse to co-operate with Assad such that any US attack on Syrian territory unnecessarily becomes a grave violation of international law and the "Supreme War Crime"
- Then claim Assad's lack of co-operation requires regime-change in Damascus as pre-requisite for defeating ISIS
This strategy in Afghanistan, then in Iraq, then in Libya, has turned a jihadi cult of some 5,000 mountain barbarians into a 100,000-man fighting unit that can defeat a modern army. But this time it will work. John Kerry says so.
A year ago the "Destroy Damascus" strategy was rudely interrupted by designated evil-doer of the day Vladimir Putin after he intervened and brokered a deal that saw WMD removed from Syria. Enraged, attention was turned to Ukraine, where Russia would be punished. One year on and the farcial NATO summit last week saw delegates fuming non-stop about Russian agression. So angry they were that none of them seem to have noticed that while NATO leaders were quaffing fine wines and threatening the entire world between meals, Putin did what he always does: Got the warring parties together and hammered out a cease-fire and peace plan.
The initial results for Ukraine, besides the disappointing – to NATO – cessation of hostilities, are that Kiev has been told it can forget about joining the EU for "the next five years", to postpone the Association Agreement until at least 2016, and that NATO is "not ready to accept" Ukraine.
So it's back to Syria and Iraq for round three.

In this Ask The Expert With Larry Swedroe article, Randy wants to know if now is a good time to invest in municipal bonds. Here's the question from Randy:
As you know, municipal bond funds have been hit hard by the current financial crisis and have put in new 52-week lows recently. I noticed however, that their prices are now heading back again. Their yields are very attractive. Do you believe there is renewed confidence that the government will help municipalities with capital, causing stability in the muni market, or do you feel that these are still too risky for investments at this time? Also, are insured tax-exempt funds safer, and if you feel muni bond funds are safe to go back into, what term (i.e., intermediate, long term) would you recommend?
Thank you,
First, while all municipal bonds have been hit by the flight to quality and liquidity, the safest bonds, the only kind I recommend, with AAA/AA underlying ratings, have held up reasonably well. And in last few days they have actually rallied quite a bit as the liquidity crisis starts to ease. And while there will likely be problems with some municipal bonds, it is highly unlikely that the highest grade bonds will default. Remember that they have taxing power that corporations do not. All of my personal fixed income assets are basically either in TIPS (in my tax advantaged accounts) or in AAA/AA munis (in my taxable accounts).
Second, while it may not be practical for most individuals, I prefer to buy individual bonds so that I control the credit risk. But for most, funds will be most appropriate to get the needed diversification and access to institutional pricing.
Third, right now munis represent, from a historical perspective, a tremendous buying opportunity (but again I would stick only to the highest investment grade bonds) as they typically trade at between 80-95% of Treasuries but now at well above 100% (in some cases as high as 125%). And if Obama wins as seems likely they should get even more attractive due to higher tax rates on the wealthy.
Fourth, the yield curve is fairly steep and historically speaking you have been rewarded for taking risk in such environments. A good rule of thumb I think is that you generally stick with intermediate bonds, though if getting about 15bp more per year you might want to consider going longer — keeping in mind you do take on more inflation risk (but at least you are getting compensated for it). If you do go longer, be sure that you can accept the incremental inflation risk.
My book, The Only Guide to a Winning Bond Strategy You'll Ever Need, goes into a good amount of detail on most fixed income investments and does include a full chapter on municipal bonds and what I believe is the winning strategy.
I hope that is helpful
Best wishes
Larry Swedroe

The foundation has been involved in many charitable and humanitarian projects but does not solicit funds and is financed exclusively from the grandchildren's inheritance. The foundation is uncharacteristic in that is actually an LLC that does not solicit donations for itself and in fact donates to charities along with hosting events for them for free, and encouraging others to donate in turn. It is in good standing according to the California Secretary of State and has never applied for tax deductible, IRS charitable status as it does not solicit funds for its use. The assets of the Foundation, which never solicits funds for itself, are over $1.2 billion.

I was driving through Rainsville, Alabama and I saw a sign that said Addicts 4 Christ. I had heard that there was a bad meth problem in the area and was interested in talking to someone who could tell me about their experience. I called the number on the sign and connected with Tina.
BW: Who started this place?
Tina: [My daughter] Katina. She went to rehab about five years ago. When she left the rehab, God started dealing with her to help other addicts. She helped NA groups, but NA has rules and regulations and you can't really teach the word of God in NA, so she started Addicts for Christ.
It has gotten big. She goes around and ministers at different churches and she's spreading the word about addicts, and how they can get help. So, I started praying and asking God how I could help Katina.
All three of my children, and my adopted daughter, have struggled with addiction. I have a hunger to help addicts. I'm a recovering addict. When I prayed and asked God how I could help Addicts 4 Christ, he led me here to a thrift store.
BW: Do you have any idea why you started using?
Tina: Well... there's a lot of reasons why I started... I was born with a cleft palate. I had never thought of myself as anything. I did not fit in. I went to nine different schools. I couldn't make friends. I was so insecure about my looks, so I done whatever I could just to fit in. I had an abortion at age 22. I lived in guilt for 20 years. I avoided reality in any way possible.
BW: Do you remember when you lost the desire to use?
Tina: There was a moment for me... My ex-husband, who I was with at the time, cooked meth. We sold it. We partied constantly at our house. My kids was seeing everything. I just told my ex-husband, "I'm done with this lifestyle. I don't want the kids in this anymore. He told me that we'd quit, but I kept finding things and I knew that he was on [drugs]. People kept driving up and he'd go out to the cars. I knew something wasn't right. I thought that if I was gonna have a new life for my children, I have to leave, so I left him and I've been clean since the day I left in March of 1994.
But my children have suffered the consequences. I have a son that's been in prison. He was there for 17 years. Katina spent some time in jail and she's been in rehab twice.
BW: Meth is big around here, right?
Tina: It's huge. I'm on the phone constantly looking for a bed for men and women. I can find beds for men all day long, but I cannot find beds for women. You have so many women who have been abused sexually, mentally and physically. They go to drugs and alcohol to escape.
So, that's what we're trying to do. We have started a Father's House fund. We're trying to raise money now so we can open a rehab facility here in Dekalb County. Right now Dekalb has no rehab facility. But we're not being supported the way we thought we would be. We thought churches would reach out and help. We do have a church and a drug store owner that are monthly supporters, but those are the only two.

Sunday Slow Cooker: Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew
Now that Summer's winding down and Fall is officially here, I'll be featuring a new series called Sunday Slow Cooker, with a set of easy-to-make one-pot recipes.
Today's hearty recipe calls for sweet potatoes and slow-cooked chicken thighs that'll be falling-off-the-bone tender by the time you return to the crockpot hours later. Alternatively, you can opt for thighs that have already been de-boned, or even boneless, skinless chicken breast. To get this Fall recipe, read more.
Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

High School Sports
Here's your guide to this week's best high school football playoff games.
There will be a Wake County team in the 4AA football championship game for the sixth time in the last eight years.
That much was assured when Pinecrest bowed out of the N.C. High School Athletic Association playoffs last week, leaving nothing but Wake County schools left in the 4AA East bracket entering the third round.
After finishing runner-up in the first four of those 4AA state championship game appearances (one by Garner, Wake Forest in three), Wake Forest broke through last year for the county and won it its first NCHSAA football title since 1987.
4AA - 1-Wake Forest vs. 4-Sanderson: If there's one team that's given Wake Forest (12-0) fits over the last five years, you could argue it's Sanderson (9-3). The Spartans held Wake Forest to its lowest regular-season point total last year, lost 26-9 in 2015 despite ending the year 4-7 to Wake Forest's 12-1 and upset Wake Forest in 2013 after throwing a late interception only to strip the defender and run the interception-turned-fumble-return into the end zone to win 14-10. This is the Spartans' first time in the third round in school history and second straight nine-win season. Wake Forest is on a 28-game winning streak.
4AA - 2-Green Hope vs. 3-Garner: You don't reach this round without playing good football late in the year, and both teams are on seven-game winning streaks. This is just the second time Green Hope (10-2) has made it to the third round – the first coming in 2004 – while Garner (8-4) is making its 13th appearance, and seventh in the last eight years. Both teams have shown balance offensively but lean toward airing it out. Present-day Green Hope opened in 1999, but has only played Garner twice in school history. The previous Green Hope High, which burned down in 1963, played Garner in other sports,
4A - 1-Scotland vs. 4-South Central: The Falcons' best season in school history heads to Laurinburg and the powerhouse Fighting Scots (10-1). Scotland was dealt a blow this week when it was revealed that star running back Zamir White, ranked the nation's best at his position, tore his ACL in the last round. White is a Georgia recruit. South Central's high-powered offense (52.5 ppg) is led by dual-threat quarterback and 4A hurdles champ Dexter McDuffie, who has more than 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing. Can the South Central (10-2) defense (allowing 27.2 ppg) slow down a White-less Scotland team?
4A - 2-Hoggard vs. 6-Heritage: Heritage (12-1) goes to Wilmington to face a Hoggard (12-0) team that has traditionally been a tough out for Wake County teams. Hoggard hasn't allowed any team to reach the 21-point mark and has held 11 of its opponents to 14 points or less. The Huskies, whose only loss this year is to No. 1 4AA seed Wake Forest, are in the third round for the second straight year and have now played undefeated teams in three of the last four weeks. Heritage lost to Wake Forest 38-14 to end the regular season and knocked off Cardinal Gibbons 34-6 in the second round.
3AA - 1-Clayton vs. 4-Eastern Guilford: Clayton (13-0) is undefeated but gets a doozy of a 4-seed in reigning 3AA East champ Eastern Guilford in what should be a physical third-round game. The Wildcats (11-2) may be most famous for Terrence and Torry Holt, but last year was their first time in the state title game. Eastern Guilford has won eight straight and only last week did it allow an opponent to score more than 19 points in a game (holding the state's No. 1 offense, D.H. Conley, to 29). Similarly, Clayton hadn't allowed an opponent more than 14 points in a game until last week's 40-35 win over Cleveland.
3A - 2-Havelock vs. 3-Southern Nash: Since 2009, Havelock (12-1) has won three state championships, finishing runner-up in another and reached the 3A East final on three other occasions. Southern Nash gets the opportunity to be just the second team to stop the Rams from marching onto the East final this decade. The Firebirds (12-1) are rolling: no one in the state has scored as many points through two rounds of the playoffs as Southern Nash, which dropped 76 in its opening game and 62 last week.
2AA - 2-North Davidson vs. 3-South Granville: The best season in South Granville's history keeps rolling along, and this will be the steepest test yet for the Vikings (13-0). North Davidson (12-1), which enters on a 12-game win streak, was a 4A team last year, but was placed into 2A because of its projected enrollment drop when a new high school – Oak Grove – opened nearby this year. North Davidson's enrollment (1,300) is still much larger than any other 2A school as it takes a few years for Oak Grove's impact to settle in, but in the meantime it means many Black Knights players have had success on the 4A level.
1AA - 1-Tarboro vs. 5-West Montgomery: Tarboro (12-0) has allowed 49 points all season, but this could be a game worthy of the Vikings. West Montgomery (11-2) is the reigning state 1AA runner-up and has reached the 1AA West final (the Warriors had always been in the West bracket until this year) four times since 2009. Tarboro is a win away from reaching the 1AA East final for the second straight season, and two away from reaching the state title game for the first time since 2012.

I'm Sold on the Old
Posted on October 7, 2015 1 Comment
I was hoping it was just a really awful rumor…To be sure people aren't actually letting this happen. But no, it seems like the beautiful old brick building that sits on a triangular lot in South End and is home to several shops including the hipster hangout Common Market is being torn down and replaced […]
Bye Bye Bungalow
Posted on August 5, 2015 Leave a Comment
So, I am probably the worst blogger ever, but I have a really good excuse for my absence. I've been crazy busy and preoccupied with the sale of my 1928 bungalow. That's right – the house has been sold. This is not a joke. I seriously sold my cute little bungalow that I've been working […]
A Freakin' Marathon of a Project
Posted on August 31, 2014 2 Comments
When a runner becomes injured and can no longer do the one thing she loves most, not only does the muscle begin to deteriorate but the mind starts slipping as well…How does the normal population LIVE without running? Are all the non-runners out there as depressed as I am right now?? These are the questions […]

Contact: Albert Faria, Chief Ranger, 907-697-2230
Contact: Chris Gabriele, Whale Biologist, 907-697-2664
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve Acting Superintendent David Nemeth announced today that the 13-knot vessel speed limit in lower Glacier Bay and at the mouth of Glacier Bay will be lifted due to a decrease in the number of humpback whales in the area. In addition, the mid-channel course requirement for vessels traveling in lower Glacier Bay will be lifted.These changes go into effect beginning at midnight on September 30, 2011.
Even in areas where no specific vessel speed limit has been designated, NOAA regulations implemented throughout Alaska in 2001require that "vessels operate at a slow, safe speed when near a humpback whale".In addition,while in all Glacier Bay National Park waters, vessels are prohibited from operating within ¼ nautical mile of a humpback whale.However, whales often surface in unexpected locations.In Park waters, the operator of a vessel inadvertently positioned within ¼ nautical mile of a humpback whale must immediately slow the vessel to 10 knots or less, without shifting into reverse unless impact is likely. The operator must direct or maintain the vessel on as steady a course as possible away from the whale until at least ¼ nautical mile of separation is established.
Boaters are advised to verify whale waters designations prior to entering Glacier Bay by telephoning (907) 697-2627 or by contacting KWM20 Bartlett Cove on marine VHF radio.Whale waters restrictions are authorized in Glacier Bay National Park in accordance with Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart N, 13.1174.

This has happened to archivist-mode several times already; tla stops accepting certain options, runtime error. tla expects something in the environment, runtime error. This is a bad thing, because it inhibits experimentation. If there were a public API implementing the arch commands at the C level, I'd either link XEmacs to it or shut up, but there ain't.

From publisher blurb:
Solidly built, four-armed giants, the Kaylethon resemble nothing so much as hoary skinned rhinoceroses. Powerful, broad, squat and strong the Kaylethon are built – in temperament as well as physique – for the life of warriors and they have a fearsome reputation as such, tempestuous, strong, and unwavering, bound up in a system of honor that can make them quick to turn in anger to defend their reputations and the status of their clans. More surprising, given their status as 'primitive' warriors, the Kaylethon have a natural talent for crafts and technology. This is not so much a result of their intelligence, which is notoriously brutish and simplistic, but more down to an innate instinct for mechanism and device, a simple, bone-deep knowledge of how to put things together, to work stone and metal and shape it to create the forms that come to their minds, inspired by the materials they have to hand and their immediate need.
This sourcebook gives you everything you need to use the Kaylethon as NPCs or as PC. Gatekeepers Chronicles: Kaylethon includes:

In this week's episode of the podcast, Tracey and I talk about manifesting — a word we see being tossed around a lot in the self-help and personal development arena — often to the detriment of those who fall prey to the hype. We discuss the ways that our attempts to manifest can go wrong and leave us feeling less content in the end. We also call bullshit on The Secret (which is something I did previously in this article I wrote a few months back), talk about how to manifest effectively, and discuss what that looks like in our own lives.
Other highlights include:
- How do we define manifesting? Do Tracey and I believe in it?
- Relationship between spirituality, religion, and manifesting?
- Our thoughts about The Secret and our gripes with it
- How I got sucked into the Secret for a while when I was younger and my experience with it
- How Tracey talks with her clients about manifesting in their lives
- The difference between passive and active manifesting
- Can you manifest a partner? How?
- What happened when I made a list of all the qualities I wanted in a partner
- Tracey's perspective on luck and how it relates to manifesting
- Why writing things down and meditating on them can be an important part of the process
- Tracey's 3 steps to change a habit
- Should we entertain the worst case scenario or fear our negative thought patterns?
- Are some of us wired to be more pessimistic and focused on the negative in general? Or is this learned?
- Interpersonal neurobiology and neuroscience as they relate to our ways of thinking
- How bodywork, exercise, and movement can help us rewire our brains
- Why physical therapy made me cry
- The role climbing a rope played in Tracey's divorce
- The Art of Taking Action by Gregg Krech
- And more!

RSA Federated Identity Manager
Extending Trust to the Cloud
A Federation Scenario

In today's global market, effective business models rely heavily on an ecosystem shared by employees, partners, and customers. The need to securely access applications and collaborate across enterprise boundaries is critical as this partner ecosystem expands, and information grows. RSA Federated Identity Manager enables organizations to cost-effectively federate identities and extend trust between multiple organizations. With RSA Federated Identity Manager, organizations can extend the management of digital identities beyond their domain and corporate boundaries to externally hosted or managed applications and resources.
RSA Federated Identity Manager installs on-premise and provides federated single sign- on for both identity provider and service provider models. Federated single sign-on provides a standards-based method to leverage trusted identities between organizations, collaborating with business and service partners. RSA Federated Identity Manager provides access to other cloud service providers, which is a significant benefit with the aggressive adoption of cloud-based applications.
RSA Federated Identity Manager has a highly flexible, open and extensible underlying architecture. This enhances user productivity, enforces internal identity security policies to make stronger security decisions, and allows for more efficient identity integration with partners. Essentially, RSA Federated Identity Manager provides organizations with the ability to address new business problems and use cases, and also scales with customer growth.
Secure Access to SaaS Applications
- Federated single sign-on (FSSO) for identity provider (IdP) and service provider (SP) models
- Simple and secure on-premise installation and deployment
- Enables businesses to quickly and seamlessly federate with partners, customers, and employees across enterprise boundaries
Robust Authentication to the Cloud
- Out-of-the-box integration with RSA SecurID two-factor authentication
Increase Business Productivity
- Flexible and extensible architecture
- Leverages industry standard federation protocols for easy integration with existing cloud- based applications.
- Enhances security, reduces administrative expenses, and increases collaboration across enterprise boundaries
Seamless Collaboration Across Enterprise Boundaries
RSA Federated Identity Manager enables seamless collaboration and productivity across enterprise boundaries and to/from the cloud. It installs on-premise, and delivers a light- weight solution enabling businesses to quickly and easily federate with partners who do not have the requirements of deploying a complete identity and access management solution.
RSA Federated Identity Manager packages the following features and capabilities into an easy-to-deploy, effective solution for enterprises to access cloud-based applications.
- Quick setup tools, a wizard-based approach, UI configurable security policies, bulk federation, policy cloning and other automated capabilities to speed deployment time.
- Fully-functional, out-of-the-box federation sample application for prototyping, a proof- of-concept and interoperability testing between partner locations
- Digital signing and local / remote digital certification validation capabilities
- Flexible plug-in architecture for integration with LDAP and SQL data stores, or with existing identity infrastructures
- Flexible and secure deployment models that accommodate virtually any architecture and partner trust model
Multi-factor Authentication For Secure Access
Since federation is based on trust across enterprise boundaries, it is significantly more challenging to determine the identity of users. By integrating with strong two-factor authentication, enterprises can be confident that the identity is being used by the person it belongs to. RSA Federated Identity Manager supports RSA SecurID two-factor authentication out-of-the-box to ensure the authenticity of federated identities. In addition, RSA Federated Identity Manager also supports the risk-based authentication (RBA) feature set introduced in RSA Authentication Manager 8.0 – this feature set triggers additional step-up authentication methods types based on the risk-score of the transaction.
Standards-based Federation Support For Optimal Flexibility
The OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is the industry standard for the extensible markup language (XML). It enables XML-based applications to securely exchange authentication, attribute, and authorization information between two or more SAML-compliant applications. This removes the need for costly, cumbersome proprietary and one-off solutions.
RSA Federated Identity Manager supports the SAML and WS-FED identity provider/service provider trust relationship. It is designed to be flexible and readily customizable, making it easy to add additional trust relationships, and integrate with a customer's existing user and attribute repositories. Furthermore, RSA Federated Identity Manager is designed to support the most popular federation use cases. With RSA Federated Identity Manager, organizations have the ability to implement the
- Web single sign-on. Authenticated web users can easily move between applications within their environment or among business partners – without re-authenticating – using consistent and secure mechanisms for the exchange of identity information.
- Attribute service. As users move from one web site or service to another, RSA Federated Identity Manager allow applications or web services to capture additional attributes about that user – such as role, employee ID number or account balance. RSA Federated Identity Manager puts you in control of which attributes are shared between business partners and how that information is securely exchanged.
- Account linking. Account linking enables end-users to choose which accounts they would like to federate to, and allows end-users to create the linkages between accounts. This capability empowers end-users by enabling easy access to various sites, especially as business transactions continue to build across organizational boundaries.
- X.509 Attribute Sharing Profile. The SAML XASP profile enables service provider applications that have successfully authenticated the user with a digital certificate to send a SAML request to the issuing organization, and retrieve sensitive user attributes that not included in the underlying certificate. By supporting this profile, RSA federated Identity Manager enables dynamic retrieval of user attributes and facilitates access control decisions in real time.

While Prostitution is legal in some counties in Nevada, Las Vegas is NOT one of them.
This one is very self explanatory. It's like leaving your children at NAMBLA Daycare. You're just asking for something to get stolen. Walk to the one of the hotels next door, it's not that far and it's better than getting your info jacked.
For good or bad, the DefCon policy of no pictures/video is gone. So don't be surprised if people randomly take your picture... Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put you on their facebook.
Not unless you want your computer to be Anally Rape. And not like that the nice kind of anal, not like broken back mountain where they spit on the dick first... No, I'm talking the prison rape kinda shit, the one where they don't stop at the elbow. Trust me, It's not fun like in the movies. When the DefCon Network has had it's way with you, your computer will become the proverbial Hacker Cum Dumpster. Lockheed told me that the secure network is a trap!
If you decided by this point to submit to the ultimate challenges of DefCon and enter a Contest, then hack them. This is a hacker conference, the rules of the contests are guidelines, and if it's not specifically forbidden or spelled out, there's always a way to circumvent it.
In the case of the contests, it's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission. More often than not you'll be given points if you do something and then convince the judges of it, than if you goto the judges before hand and ask if you can do something... Just ask any scavenger hunt winner in the past 5 years who now holds a black badge.
You can read what an asshat and fucktard are. So Don't ruin everybody's fun by being one.
You have 361 days a year where you can sit on your computer and not be social... You're at DefCon, so log off IRC, put the laptop away and go make some friends face to face.
You need to remember when you are in the desert your body needs fluids. Just because there is a lack of sweat or your body "feels cool", it does not mean that you're not becoming dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids and even more if you decide to drink some alcohol.
At a MINIMUM follow the 3-2-1 Rule Daily - Three hours of sleep, Two Meals, One Shower. And if you only take One Shower or > a day, Lather on the deodorant.
For the ultimate DefCon Experience, you need to be an ACTIVE participant. Don't be a Lurker. Get out there and get involved. Go to some Villages; Participate in some Contests; Hang out and Socialize. Experience the Con. Make some friends, and don't be a fly on the wall. You may not know a lot, you will make some mistakes, but there is nothing wrong that. As long as you don't act like your leet, or as an asshat or have a standoffish attitude you will make friends at DefCon and you will learn a lot. But that is ONLY possible if you put yourself out there. Become a part of the community by adding to it.
Every Hacker at this Conference was a n00b at some point. Every one of them made mistakes and all the good ones don't front... If they don't know something they ask a question*. A huge part of being a hacker is the unsaitable thirst for knowledge. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned expert on a topic, you will have something to add and something to learn, if you just get involved. Don't spend all of DefCon sitting on your laptop.
So when you goto DefCon you have the choice, you can have an amazing DefConian Adventure and walk away from the event with more knowledge and friends, or you can be too timid to make a mistake and just lurk on the periphery. The Choice is up to you!


text: I've been using a Oyen Digital U32 Shadow 1TB USB hard drive to play all of my music files on my car's sound system. It seems to have failed today. It has no power and is not recognized by the car or my several computers. So I'm in danger of losing nearly 1TB of files. Fortunately I backed many of them up. I'm thinking of replacing the Oyen device with Samsung T1 Portable 1 TB USB 3.0 External SSD. As it's solid state all the jostling in the car should not be nearly the potential problem that a traditional disc drive presents. I can't imagine why a SSD USB drive wouldn't work, but before I spend the money I wanted to check here to verify.
