Q: I'm getting two baby parrotlets this weekend (brother and sister) from a friend of mine. They hatched about a month and a half ago and were both hand-fed from the get-go. They're very cute. I just wanted to see if you have any advice for me as I've never owned birds before. Vet trips? Wing-feather trims? Will they try to mate? What sorts of things go into their cage? Should I give them a nest to sleep in? Thank you.
Sandee Molenda explains:
Since these parrotlets are related, they should never be bred and, therefore, I strongly recommend you keep them in separate cages. That is the only way to ensure that the parrotlets will not breed. Also, most parrotlets are very territorial and aggressive when it comes to their cages, and one will usually become dominant over the other and may pick on the other bird. "Share" is usually not a word in the parrotlet vocabulary, and the dominant parrotlet will often keep the other bird from eating, perching and playing. Parrotlets can have time together outside of their cages on playpens, but they should always be supervised.
I believe most people recommend that birds have a vet check once a year and that would be the same for parrotlets. Your birds will go through their first molt at 4 to 6 months of age and will need their wings feathers trimmed after the molt is completed. They will probably molt again at 1 year of age and will need to be trimmed after every molt, which can be one or two times a year.
Parrotlets are very playful and enjoy a wide variety of toys including hanging and swinging toys. Parrotlets should also have a variety of perches, although natural wood perches that have not been sprayed with chemicals or pesticides are the best. This will allow their feet to get exercise by standing on different diameters of the cage. Some people like to provide Happy Huts™ or Pet Tents™ to young parrotlets to help them feel secure and keep them warmer. However, they can increase unwanted parrotlet hormonal behavior such as aggression, feather picking, masturbation and egg laying.
I also recommend that the parrotlets' daylight hours be limited to no more than 12, and that they be covered at night. This will, again, reduce unwanted hormonal urges and help ensure that the parrotlet parrots are receiving enough rest.
Feed your parrotlets daily a diet rich in fresh foods, such as fruit, vegetables, greens, sprouted seeds, cooked grains and legumes, millet, whole-grain breads and a quality seed mix. Vitamins are generally not needed if the parrotlets are eating an otherwise healthy diet. Mineral block, cuttlebone and fresh, clean water should always be available.

Currently we have received none. With our older child who now plays high school, we got not only feedback, but a month by month plan from the pro once she saw how he was developing (at a different club). I would like to hear from parents (as well as juniors) what type, if any, feedback, planning they get from their pro.Thanks

Rebel head coach Ed Orgeron will have one of his biggest weekends of the year to host prospects on official visits when approximately 15 visitors will make the trip to Oxford to visit the Ole Miss campus beginning Friday.
While 15 prospects are scheduled to visit, the actual visit list is a work in progress and subject to change up until late Friday and even early on Saturday morning, especially for prospects who live nearby and can change their mind about visiting at the last minute.
On official visits, Ole Miss makes travel arrangements and that entails airline tickets for prospects who live out of driving distance. In addition, all administrative requirements must be met before a prospect can visit, with one major requirement being that the prospect must provide the school with documentation that he has taken the ACT or SAT - the results are not required, just that he's taken the test.
Schools can host up to 56 prospects and each prospect can take up to five official visits.
Prospects can take any number of unofficial visits to schools as long as they pay their own expenses and numerous prospects have attended Ole Miss on unofficial visits throughout the course of the season.
Official visits are defined by the school being permitted to pay for the visit including travel fare and other nominal expenses. Parents can accompany a prospect, but must fund their own travel expenses.
A typical visits normally starts with the prospect arriving late Friday and being met with an escort that is assigned by the team. With most arrivals being late in the day, little is planned on Friday, but on Saturday, the prospect has a packed schedule that includes meeting with academic counselors, a tour of the campus, a tour of football facilities, and meeting with position coaches. A dinner is held on Saturday evening on campus and then prospects are permitted to go off campus with their escort. On Sunday, prospects meet one-on-one with the head coach. Visits can't exceed 48 hours and prospects are normally off campus by late Sunday morning.
Several prospects who were scheduled this week will look to re-schedule because of various reasons with there being some conflicts caused by high school sports schedule where several prospects compete in basketball. Other prospects are competing in post season football playoff games.
Among the key visitors this weekend, are some current commitments.
Expected to visit is Marreo, La. defensive tackle Drake Nevis, a long time Ole Miss commitment who has been pursued hard by LSU recently and is scheduled to visit the Tigers next weekend. Nevis has been committed to the Rebels since last February and has said from almost day one that he'd visit other schools and he has a long list from which to choose - Auburn, Florida and Miami, among others - in addition to LSU and Ole Miss.
While Nevis is considered for a long time as a "soft commitment" - defined as a prospect who has verbally committed but is still exploring options available and setting visits to other schools - he's held firm with his commitment to Ole Miss.
"I know I am committed to Ole Miss, but I would definitely still say that I am open when it comes to a college I will be attending," Nevis said in an interview in mid-November. "The reason I committed to Ole Miss was that it (the commitment) happened way back in February. I had not visited any other schools before then. I had nothing to compare it (Ole Miss) to."
One of Orgeron's biggest challenges this week will be to convince the four-star prospect that he made the right decision last February.
Joining Nevis will be fellow Louisianan Rishaw Johnson, a three star offensive lineman who is also among a handful of Orgeron's 18 commitments who are less than fully committed to Ole Miss.
Johnson, who was recently selected to play in the All-American Bowl, committed in June and has an official visit set up to Florida State next weekend. Johnson is yet to receive an offer from LSU and the Tigers could move into the picture with an offer.
Johnson was impressed with Ole Miss during camp last summer - but also impressed with Florida State at its Nike Camp - meaning that a favorable impression this weekend will be key to keeping him on the commitment list.
A third commitment who is either still shopping for schools or just enjoying the benefits of being a highly sought after prospect is the State's top running back, Robert Elliott. Elliott has plans to visit Alabama, Florida State, and Mississippi State over the next two months.
While Ole Miss has some committed players who will be tripping to other schools, the Rebels will also be hosting some committed players to other schools.
Included are two current North Carolina commitments - offensive lineman Mike Dykes, a three star guard, and Da-Norris Searcy, a two-star linebacker. Ole Miss will also welcome Arkansas commitment Jerry Franklin, a three-star defensive back from Marion, Ark.
Aside from the committed players, one of the biggest names headlining the visit list is four-star defensive tackle D'Angelo McCray from Tallahassee, Fla.
The 6-foot-4, 289-pounder continues to have a top two of Illinois and Florida. He also is considering Florida State, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Southern California and others.
McCray verbally committed to the Gators early in the process, but backed out of his commitment during the summer to explore other options.
He is set to announce his decision on ESPN on Dec. 14.
Others who appear set to visit include Darnell Williams, Lionel Breaux, Justin Sanders, Mat Williams, Mark Jean-Louis, Alex Washington, and Adrien Robinson.
(Editor's note: The list is subject to change - stay tuned to RebelSports.net for the latest changes through the weekend and for post-visit coverage beginning on Sunday).

This is my return flight from SFO to HAM via FRA with United and LH.
We had a great time in the states and too soon we had to fly back home.
When the day came, we woke up early because the hotel-shuttle would pick us up at 7:30AM.
I double-checked every room to ensure that we did not forget anything and then we made our way to the parking-lot. The shuttle came on time with a very energetic driver in it, he made a lot of jokes while driving to the airport (with 20 mph over the speedlimit) and he actually tried to speak German which was a funny touch.
When we entered the international terminal we saw a huge line in front of the United Check in counters but with over 3 hours to kill it was no problem. Most people in the line were Mexicans who took the United flight to Mexico city. They looked quite confused and some used to step out of the line, walk to the check in agent and ask something which resulted that she had to send them away again what did not speed up the whole thing.
When it was our turn the agent said something in Spanish and when she saw our puzzled faces she smiled, apologized and said that she thought that there were only Mexicans in the line.
She checked our passports and printed out our boarding passes. She was very friendly and professional and as we collected our passports and miles and more cards, she wished us a pleasant flight and thanked us for flying United.
We headed straight for security because we wanted to have lunch at a Japanese restaurant which is located in the international terminal. We discovered it at our first trip to San Francisco and use to eat their everytime we visit this great city
Security was a breeze, I thought it would be worse due to the departing Mexicans but apparently they went through it already. The securityguys were pretty grumpy and did not smile at all but I did not care too much because I was so happy that I was at this great airport again.
We walked down the corridor to the Japanese restaurant were we got some delicious Japanese specialties (some sort of spicy chicken with vegetables and rice) and some sushi.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california006.jpg [/img]
me at the Japanese restaurant (delicious)
After that my mum headed off for some duty-free shopping and I made my to the huge windows which allow a great view over the airport. As we were in the international terminal most of the planes were heavies except for the United flights bound for Canada.
I tried to do some pictures but it was no good through the windows so I rather saved my batteries for the flight.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california004.jpg [/img]
that is the result
I strolled down between the Gates to watch the planes depart to all parts of the world, there was a Singapore Airlines 777 with destination Singapore, an ANA 777 to Tokyo, lots of United heavies of course with several destinations and the Lufthansa 747 to Frankfurt which would depart ten minutes ahead of us. At this point I was quite glad to fly United, I don't dislike Lufthansa, I think they are a reliable airline and I don't care about PTV in coach but the atmosphere at United with the Starbucks coffee, channel 9 and the American F/A´s is just better (at least when traveling to or from the US).
Fifteen minutes prior to boarding my mum returned from shopping and we made our way towards the gate. There were a lot of people waiting and there were messages on the screens which said that seat changing is not possible due to 100% load factor.
We found two seats were we settled down and waited for the boarding call.

It came ten minutes later and passengers were asked to enter the plane by the seatrow they were seated in. We were in the very back of the plane so we entered the plane very early.
We were greeted once again with a warm smile by the F/A who stood at the door and made our way through the plane towards the back where we were seated.
I took the camera out of the backpack, stored the backpack in the overhead bin and settled down in my seat by the window. I took the headphones out of the seatpocket, plugged them in, switched to channel nine and heard… nothing, I thought the worst when suddenly a soft voice called out of the headphones and requesting push-back clearance, I don't remember what flight it was because I was too happy to notice.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california008.jpg [/img]
Soon our seatneighbour arrived, a women from the middle east with some sort of plant which she placed in the seatpocket in front of her and once she sat down she started praying. She did not talk to us the entire flight because after praying she fell asleep and did not wake up shortly before landing in FRA.
Anyway, the doors were closed soon and I heard the captain asking for taxi-clearance which was granted right away. As soon as we got our clearance the Singapore 777 also asked for taxi-clearance what resulted that it was pushed back parallel with us, here´s a pic of it waiting while we already started taxiing
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california009.jpg [/img]
We passed the national terminal were a lot of 757 were standing and made our way to the active.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california009.jpg [/img]
After a few minutes we reached the runway and lined up for departure right away since there was no incoming aircraft. We held short for a few moments and then the Tower cleared us for take-off. The pilots applied the power and we started our looong take-off roll. When we airborned we had an awesome view over San Francisco
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california018.jpg [/img]
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california020.jpg [/img]
After that great view we gained altitude and made our way towards the old continent.
Since this was a midday departure meal-service started quite soon and we were given the choice between chicken or beef. I opted for the chicken even though the beef tasted better at the flight from SFO to FRA but I did not regret my choice because the chicken was very tasty, it was served with some potatoes, crackers and cheese, fruit, a cake and some water. I enjoyed it a lot and after the trays were collected I put on the headphones again and listened to channel nine. I heard our captain making a request for a higher altitude due to turbulence which apparently lay ahead of us and ATC cleared us for Flight-level 350.
Soon the sun started to set and we had some nice reflections at the silver part of or engines
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california030.jpg [/img]
The cabin lights were dimmed and many passengers dosed off and I was thankful that the guy in front of me did not recline his seat, what made the whole flight a lot more comfortable.
After a few hours I had to go to the lavatories which was quite difficult due to our sleeping seatneighbour and because I did not want to wake her up I just climbed over her.
I noticed that the F/A´s had made some sort of bar at the rear of the plane were you could drink something or grab some snacks. I was happy to stretch my legs and talked with some guys who did the same. I did not feel how fast the time went by because suddenly a F/A came and asked us (in a kind way) to return to our seats because they had to prepare the next meal.
I went back, took my seat (after some stuntclimbing) and read a little bit in my book. They showed some movies but I was not all too interested and so I skipped them.
When they came with the food I did not take any because I was still full from the great Japanese restaurant in SFO and the first meal. My mum and her neighbor were sleeping and so I do not know what choices there were.
After an hour the sun started to raise again and once again we had a great view
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california032.jpg [/img]
When we had one and a half hour to go breakfast was given out which consisted of a croissant with melted cheese, beacon and some egg thing in it. It was delicious but I gave my mum the egg thin because I did not like it too much.
One hour away from FRA channel 9 got interesting again with a lot of traffic in the air which could be seen from our plane as well.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california037.jpg [/img]
When we had 30 minutes to go we started our descend towards a cloud covered Germany, with a lot of traffic flying around. The controllers were very busy and I could hardly understand what they were saying because they talked so fast.
We had to fly a holding pattern and then we were cleared to land.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california038.jpg [/img]

[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california042.jpg [/img]
The landing was very smooth and as we vacated the runway I could see at least three planes coming in for landing behind us.
We had to hold short at the parallel runway due to a departing NW DC-10 and after that we made our way to the gate.
When we came to a hold everyone sprang up and opened the overhead bins. I remained in my seat because as I was sitting in the back of the plane I would be one of the last passengers getting off anyway.
Conclusion: A great flight with nice F/A´s and great views, we were on time and channel nine was great.
I give it 8 out of ten because the food was not as good as it was on the flight from FRA to SFO and the F/A´s were a little bit robotic. But overall a great flight and a good job done by United
We excited the plane and made our way to our connection flight to HAM.
We had one hour and a half until boarding started so we went to the gate and sat down in order to relax a little.
I left my mum sitting there and went to the windows facing the taxiway, were a nice lady saw me watching the planes and asked me if she should take a picture of me.
I was thankful because I really like the result
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california047.jpg [/img]
I returned ten minutes prior to boarding and when it was called there were only 40-50 people waiting, so it would be a pretty empty flight.

We entered the plane and took our seat by the window, with a spare seat between us which was a nice thing.
We pushed back on time and made our way to the runway, were we got take off clearance right away. We rocketed into the sky were many contrails could be seen.
[img] http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/LH492/california056.jpg [/img]
The drink service started and I took a coke in order to stay awake.
There was nothing special on this flight and soon we began our descend into HAM which was quite bumpy.
We flew through thick clouds and I could make out ground when we already flared over the runway. We touched down with quite a thud and exited the runway. We made our way to the gate, got our stuff from the overhead bin and went to the baggage belt.
We got our bags quite fast and exited the airport with a lot of great memories about the trip and a huge jetlag
I hope you enjoyed this report and I would appreciate any comment

Crossing guard: 'I don't remember anything'
By Eric firstname.lastname@example.com
SUMMERVILLE, SC (WCIV) -- A Lowcountry crossing guard, who was hit by a car almost two weeks ago, is now home after being released from the hospital.
Monday, Natalie Boles, 35, made a plea to drivers to pay attention. She suffered a serious head injury after she was hit outside Sangaree Intermediate School almost two weeks ago. She's still recovering but returned home from the hospital Sunday.
Boles says the area where she works as a crossing guard is in dire need of a change. She doesn't remember when she got hit but the accident will leave a lasting impact.
"I don't remember anything about that day, that's what scares me is that I don't remember a whole lot that happened that day," Boles said.
She says her most recent memory since is from just days ago in the hospital. She was hit in the head when she was patrolling Royale Road and Schoolhouse Lane outside of the Sangaree schools. The injury has caused her brain swelling, memory loss and more.
"I've got really bad headaches they said that would go away eventually," said Boles.
Since the crash, parents and school administrators have petitioned law enforcement and state highway leaders for a traffic light. Boles says a light may help but she says accidents like her's can be avoided, as long as people are more careful behind the wheel.
"It is awful, it's awful, and there's no way out other than coming back out through that intersection," she said. "It's just common sense. You're taking your child to school, my goodness, you know?"
Berkeley County deputies will help monitor the intersection until the end of the school year.
Officials are working to have at least a temporary remedy in place by the fall.
Doctors tell Boles she should not suffer any long-lasting effects. For the time being, she's not allowed to drive, and she'll spend most of her time resting at home with her husband and three daughters.
School leaders are considering widening the exits to the Sangaree schools or even adding a lane to Schoolhouse Lane, if they do not get a traffic light.

Fellers Gets a World Cup Double Double at Thunderbird!
[Langley, BC] There were a whole lot of Fellers in Sunday's $100,000 Canaccord Genuity World Cup Qualifier Grand Prix at Thunderbird Show Park. Current World Cup champion, Rich Fellers (USA), advanced with both Flexible & Colgan Cruise, while wife Shelley went clear on Revenge.
With just five in the jumpoff, the crowd was on their feet to see Rich post the only double clear rounds and win the day.

Alan Wade, who assisted under Bob Ellis in London, designed the Canaccord Genuity World Cup course. He set the fences high with challenging distances that tested the field. Egypt's, Nayel Nassar and Raging Bull Vangelis S were one of the lucky few to advance, along with Langley local, Brian Morton on Spitfire.
"Well would you look at that," said Morton, leaving the ring after posting the final clear of the first round to secure a spot in the jump off. The pair won Friday's Tommy Bahama Grand Prix, edging out Fellers and McGuinness.
Fellers and his 9 year-old Irish Sport Horse mare Colgan Cruise were first in for the jump off, making no mistakes and setting the pace at 39 seconds flat. Nassar had a rail mid-course to finish with a time of 40.64 and four faults. Shelley Fellers was next in and was looking to make a bid for the lead, but a late rail drew groans from the crowd as she posted four faults and a time of 41.21.
Fellers and Flexible executed a tight turn mid-course to shave time off their round, coming home at 37.66 and into first. With the final ride of the day, Morton and Spitfire gave it a shot, but with an early rail and a misstep at the final fence, the pair finished with eight faults.
"I thought the first round was very well done, Alan's course suited the field," noted Rich Fellers. "The jump off was a typical jump off – you gotta run, you gotta jump and you gotta leave them up."
Fellers and Flexible have had a tremendous year, returning just over a week ago from the 2012 London Olympics where they placed 8th overall. In April, the pair was the oldest on the start list for the World Cup finals in the Netherlands, but nevertheless came away with the first USA World Cup victory in 25 years.
"He is, he's a fantastic horse and I've been so lucky to have him," explained Fellers. "I don't think I'll ever find one better than him, but if I did, that would be amazing."
Fellers finished second with Colgan Cruise, who just may be that next horse. The mare shares the same sire as Flexible and has been making strides in the ring that has Fellers feeling optimistic about her future.
"She might be on her way," he noted. "The Cruising horses are known to be difficult, but she's really starting to get it."
While winning the World Cup was a highlight, watching his wife take her own trip around the jump off course was its own thrill for Fellers.
"I was really excited for her when she went clear in the first round," he said with a smile. "I'd love to see her in the World Cup finals and she's got a great horse."
Nassar took third in the class with his Belgian Warmblood, Raging Bull Vangelis S. The pair had one rail mid-course, but delivered a speedy round to stay near the top of the order. At just 21 years of age, Nassar burst onto the international scene this past winter in Wellington, Florida. Having purchased Raging Bull from Great Britain's Robert Smith, he was aboard him in the Grand Prix ring just a few weeks later – and winning. Hailing from Kuwait, Nassar now rides for his parent's homeland of Egypt. He qualified for the London Games, but with only one slot for the country, had to watch from the sidelines. If Egypt takes a team to Rio, he plans to be on it.

BEIJING, China — Burberry Group Plc., the U.K.'s largest luxury-goods maker, is appealing a decision by Chinese regulators to restrict the company's trademark "Check" pattern for leather goods.
The trademark office's decision won't take effect and there will be no change to Burberry's use or enforcement of its trademark across leather or other products before a decision on the appeal, the company said today in an e-mailed statement.
Burberry is the latest foreign company to face regulatory hurdles in China, where the government this year has investigated baby-food brands and drug makers. Qualcomm Inc., the world's largest maker of chips for smartphones, said this week China's National Development and Reform Commission began an investigation related to an anti-monopoly law.
"We are confident that our appeal will be successful," Burberry said in its statement. The China Trade Mark Office restriction is related to its "Check" trademark, which relates only to leather goods, it said.
Three calls to the information office of the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry & Commerce weren't answered.
China has become increasingly important to global luxury brands, and Burberry gets about 39 percent of annual revenue from the Asia Pacific region, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Chinese consumers were the world's biggest buyers of luxury goods in 2012, accounting for 27 percent of industry sales, according to consultant McKinsey & Co.
Infant Formula
In August, the Chinese government fined six dairy companies including Danone for fixing the prices of infant formula products, and five Shanghai-based gold retailers and a local trade association for manipulating jewelry prices.
The August fine over baby-formula price fixing, a combined 669 million yuan ($110 million) for dairy companies also including Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., was a record for violating anti-monopoly laws.
Another high-profile probe into a foreign company this year centered around London-based GlaxoSmithKline Plc. Four senior executives from the company were detained in July on suspicion of economic crimes.
China's state-controlled media have accused Starbucks Corp. of charging too much for coffee and said Samsung Electronics Co.'s smartphones don't work properly.

Welcome to the Alentejo, where time is suspended to allow you to enjoy your holiday as smoothly as possible. To reach the Pousada do Alvito you've already crossed many miles of panoramic and quiet roads, in which the fields of gold open your windows to golden and gentle hills, weaving hypnotically and setting the tone for the following few days: quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Let yourself be captivated and let the days wander to the pace of the fields. The Pousada do Alvito opened in 1993 after the recuperation of the fifteenth century castle. This building has been classified, since 1910, as a National Monument and an example of the best of the Portuguese architecture, which combines the architecture of the fortress and palatial residence and of Islamic, gothic and Manueline influences.
On reaching the village of Alvito, the sense of tranquility increases: the old houses, richly decorated with Manueline elements, indicate that this is no ordinary village. The long history of the influence of this village in the national and regional politics is completely outlined by the history of the family which received the first barony of the country.
The Alentejo village of Alvito is found around 30 km from Beja. A place that that both couples and families find inviting for relaxation in a splendid location surrounded by luxury, charm and finesse.
With 20 rooms, this noble house is fully equipped to welcome you with the charm of yesteryear and the most modern comforts you could want. The Pousada bedrooms transcend a soothing atmosphere, with its canopy beds and detailed Moorish ceilings engraved by the Alvito Barons coat of arms.
The bedrooms are air-conditioned and include cable television, bathrobes and a mini bar. From the bedroom window you can take in the splendid Alentejo.
The decor in original tiling, the view of the garden designed by the brilliant Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles and the predominance of Moorish, Gothic and Manueline styles make this castle the perfect setting for a stay of long days, interspersed with reinvigorating naps, refreshing swims and lengthily enjoyed meals. Rest in the richly decorated room with decorative pieces of the estate of the House of Bragança Foundation and stroll through the various garden areas, which invite self-gathering or conviviality, isolation or sharing.
Be amazed by the ingenious irrigation system by gutters through the wheel of the well which, with the aid of gravity, guides the water through to all areas of the garden. Never a space was so appropriate to read the classics and let yourself be transported to an ancient world, where language was more careful, and the beauty, austere and dignified, cherished and cared for with all the weight of timelessness.
When spending a few days at the Pousada of Castelo de Alvito, the illuminated and romantic inner courtyard, the inspiring windows, the spaces of the old wine cellars and stables transformed into living rooms - be sure to have a peek at the bins, the old castle refrigerators, where grain was stored in protected pots to hold out - will provide your holiday with an indefinable and charming aura of real-time suspension. The sumptuous restaurant at the Pousada de Alvito defers a true feast of flavours, shown through its regional dishes, traditional cuisine and wines.
The castle was constructed at the end of the fifteenth century under the authority of the town's landlord the senior royal, João Fernandes da Silveira, with the title of Baron of Alvito being granted by D. Afonso V. This acknowledgement was later given to his son, the 2nd Baron, D. Diogo Lobo da Silveira, by D. João II in 1489 and by D. Manuel I

He isn't seen often and the segments on his death take up a surprisingly few minutes onscreen over the first two episodes. But the ghost of Michael Jackson hovers like a chilling pall over every moment of the four surviving Jackson brothers' new six-episode unscripted series, The Jack5ons: A Family Dynasty. (It debuts at 9 tonight on A&E.)
It must be difficult to work in an industry where, the moment you start a new project, the first question is: Will your superstar brother be involved?
But even before the series tries tackling the touchy subject of Jackson's death this summer, the very concept of a reality show built around the four lesser-known Jackson brothers trying a Michael-less reunion brings a jarring question:
How do you reunite a legendary pop band without its lead singer?
"The only problem we have now is that we don't have Michael," producer Terry Lewis tells the camera in the second episode. "It was the Jackson Five, not the Jackson Four."
But that reality seems lost on poor Jermaine, Marlon, Tito and Jackie, who fumble before the cameras, trying to pull together a Jackson Five-minus-one reunion before their brother's death lands in the middle of production. They fight, visit old haunts and chat up producers in scenes that seem as staged as MJ's awkward smooch of Lisa Marie Presley at the MTV Video Music Awards long ago.
"We know he would want us to continue on, and that's why this show is very important," Jermaine told reporters during a conference call interview. "We got a chance to be ourselves offstage."
Actually, no. What is most frustrating about this show from A&E is that we don't see the Jacksons unfiltered beyond a few petty squabbles. Missed opportunities include: the moment when anyone in the family found out about Michael Jackson's death; the family's attempts to plan a memorial service; the precise way Jermaine's attempt to organize a tribute concert in Vienna (huh?) unraveled; any contact with patriarch Joe Jackson.
What emerges instead is the portrait of a project that looks like a pipe dream; middle-aged guys struggling to appear relevant in an industry that's so different, it's like silent film stars trying to make the next Star Wars movie.
Oddest moments
• Tito and Marlon returning to their Gary hometown with two of their kids, supposedly to reconnect with their roots. The visit mostly consisted of a stop by their empty, old home and schmoozing with school kids and politicians. Probably because they haven't lived in Gary for 40 years.
• Jermaine breaking into tears while talking with the brothers about an incident that is barely explained on camera; the moment in 1976 when father Joe Jackson moved the group from Motown to Epic Records. Jermaine, who was married to Motown owner Berry Gordy's daughter then, did not join his brothers and became a solo artist, replaced by brother Randy in the group, which was retitled The Jacksons.
• Jermaine and Tito trying to explain to legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis what their new songs should say. Before long, you realize, they don't have anything to say beyond wanting a hit record. Which is not a good sign.
ABC's of picking political pundit
When you click over to ABC's Sunday politics show This Week today, spare a bit of pity for George Stephanopoulos. The pint-sized political pundit is about to become the Hardest Working Man in Television, taking on anchor duties for Good Morning America and This Week simultaneously, guaranteeing a seven-day-a-week work schedule. To ease his burden quicker, here's a roster of folks ABC should consider as his successor. .
Gwen Ifill: The longtime PBS anchor joined the rotation of three heading up the revamped NewsHour, but the former New York Times correspondent, author and ex-NBC correspondent deserves a wider platform. .
Bill Maher: In part, because Jon Stewart would never take the gig, I suggest America's second-coolest political satirist. He'd have to curb the F-bombs and religious jokes, but Maher is a fearless stalker of political hypocrisy and American stupidity.
Rachel Maddow: Sure, this MSNBC personality has been a liberal pundit for a long while, but if Stephanopoulos can overcome working in the Clinton White House, Maddow's smart and savvy enough to tackle a gig requiring a more evenhanded tone.
Glenn Beck: The only problem with hiring away Fox News Channel's biggest new star is that This Week's guests would mostly be stuck watching Beck cry about the coming political apocalypse. But his fondness for chalkboards means saving loads on computer graphics.
Oprah Winfrey: I hear her calendar is going to open up a bit on Sept. 9.

Consumer disputes - reinvestigation in progress,
That's showing a DOFD of 2008. But I'd check the other two. Now ignore the lates....FICO does. In fact, FICO is ignoring that entire TL. Now how lenders view it is a different matter.
That is what I do not understand with them. I will check the other two but its showing basically as a 15K debt. One lender saw this but I showed her my paycheck stubs and showed where its taken out automatically so they pretty much ignored it

thank you!
"When a collection account is paid in full, it will be marked "paid collection" on the credit report."
When the creditor or debt collector changes the account status to "paid in full" does that affect your credit score in a positive way?

Welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately not under the most common credit scoring models.
That said, there's more than credit scores which go into approving any given application, and there's a world of difference to an underwriter between an open collection (which is a problem) and a paid one which from the underwriters I've talked to is *shrug*.
If you are making payments to the debt colllector, they have a statutory requirement under FCRA 623(a)(2) to promptly update the current amount under collection as it is reduced. Promptly is with their next monthly reporting cycle. You can file a direct dispute with them, requiring they maintain the accuracy of the currrent balance.
As an aside, much discussion is made in prior posts as to the deletion date of OC accounts.
OC accounts themselves have no required deletion date under the FCRA. Only the individual adverse items reported on the account, such as monthly delinquencies and a charge-off, become excluded under the FCRA.
The account remains unless either specifically deleted by the creditor, or the CRA choses to delete as their internal housekeeping after the account has been close for approx ten years. Thus, the exclusion of all derogs can still leave the OC account of record, and possibly raise issues with one reviewing your CR as to the ultimate dispostion of any debt that might remain.
This is excellent information. Thanks for posting it!
I have an ongoing issue with Bank of America and wondering if you can clarify this below portion of your post "Credit Reporting Time Periods".
"Closed accounts: Closed accounts are accounts that are no longer available for further use. Closed accounts may or may not have a zero balance. Closed accounts with delinquencies remain seven years from the date they are reported closed, whether closed by the creditor or by the consumer. Positive closed accounts remain 10 years."
I have a 90 day baddie with Bank of America; DOFD October 2008, account was closed January 1, 2009, my last payment/activity was made on April 2014.
I called TU this morning requesting a one month early deletion because I thought I was working with DOFD. The agent tried to delete and said the "system would not allow". She further stated that there was no "expected date of deletion" which she thought was odd. She confirmed that the DOFD from October 2008 has been deleted and is now showing as November 2008. She offered to start a dispute but I wanted to make sure before I open an dispute what was at stake.
I made a return call to TU and got a different agent who suggested that this would fall off from DOLA. I am just sooooo dismayed by this, I don't know what to do.
In coming over MyFico forums I found this post and wondering if I have a dispute with BofA???
or if the agent from TU has incorrect information.

Indian Wells Live
This year's event will be the 28th edition of this Premier Mandatory outdoor hard court tournament. The total prize money for the ladies will stand at a rather impressive $6.157.160, most of which will go to the eventual winner.
The reigning champion is the Romanian Simona Halep who has a relatively successful season, although she is still waiting for that Grand Slam breakthrough. Despite not being able to win her maiden Slam title so far, she is extremely consistent in the lesser tournaments, earning herself a stable top 3 ranking in the last couple of years. Despite being the defending champion, she will definitely not be among the top 2 favorites. For starters, she lost that above mentioned top 3 ranking after a disastrous Australian Open performance (she lost in the first round). Her other two problems are called Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber, the fresh Australian Open winner.
Each of these two ladies will have a much better chance of going all the way when the tournament starts on Monday, and a rematch of the OZ Open final is not only the most realistic scenario but would likely become another classic.

The 2015 BNP Paribas Open will be the 40th edition of the prestigious hard court tournament played in Indian Wells, California. On the men's side, the tourney is the very first of the nine ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events that are played between March and November.
On the ladies' side, it is the first of the four Premier Mandatory events. The combined prize money for the 2015 Indian Wells Masters will be more than $12 million, which includes a $6,267,755 overall sum for the ATP event and $6.157,160 for the WTA tournament. The reigning champions of the BNP Paribas Open are Novak Djokovic and Flavia Pennetta. When it comes to the record holders, Roger Federer leads the men with four titles (including three consecutive between 2004 and 2006), while on the ladies' side, there are as many as eight different players with two titles to their names.
The list includes Martina Navratilova, Mary Joe Fernandez, Steffi Graf, Lindsay Davenport, Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters, Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Sharapova. Out of those eight players, only Fernandez and Daniela Hantuchova are without Grand Slam victories. The two main favorites for the 2015 titles will be Novak Djokovic from Serbia and Serena Williams from the United States of America.

"Gnomeo and Juliet" Mildly Entertains
Gnomeo and Juliet is ostensibly based on Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, but don't expect more from this G-rated tale of warring lawn ornaments than some borrowed names and the basic framework. Out in the suburbs, two neighboring lawns feud just as their grouchy elderly neighbors do. (Yes, their last names are Montague and Capulet). Among other things, both are populated by a large number of living, conveniently-colored garden gnomes, the "reds" and the "blues." The two factions do their best to outdo each other, yet there's more to the conflict than competing decorations. When humans aren't around they come to life and have no problems spying on one another through the fence, drag racing on lawnmowers, and sabotaging the other side when possible.
|Copyright © 2010 Touchstone Pictures
Enter blue gnome Gnomeo and red gnome Juliet, who have been raised by their widowed parents to not like the other side. Gnomeo's mother expects him to lead the blues, while Juliet is sheltered by her overprotective father. Desperate to contribute something to her garden and prove that she isn't "fragile", Juliet secretly sets out to retrieve a unique flower that catches her eye. She encounters a disguised Gnomeo, fresh from trying to deliver some payback to his rival Tybalt with a little vandalism. Inevitably they learn each other's identities, and the die is cast. Attraction soon overpowers prejudice, they start meeting in secret, and it's only a matter of time before the relationship is discovered.
There's a small element of tragedy in the movie at least, if only because the feud between the gardens seems to escalate from petty destruction to actual violence, though even this escalation is played for some laughs; the climax comes after Gnomeo's best friend Benny sneaks onto their human's computer so he can up order a completely over-the-top lawnmower to take final revenge. This is all well and good, but unfortunately the viewer is given only limited reason to care about the conflict. Gnomeo and Juliet are likable enough and serve their obligatory roles, but with limited exceptions they're surrounded by characters that are just not very well-defined. Many exist to offer a simple gag, and that's the extent of it. Tybalt , for instance, is never more than a simple jerk. The best of the lot is the plastic flamingo Featherstone, an outsider befriended by Gnomeo and Juliet, who supports the two of them in their relationship. But all in all, there's no one here that's even as memorable as a secondary character from Toy Story.
This is a movie for kids and a comedy adventure on top of that, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that things work out pretty well, in contrast to Shakespeare's play. Unfortunately a rather key point is overlooked by the writers: the gnome feud ultimately ends and it's happily ever after, except nothing is said or shown about whether or how the human neighbors reconcile. Perhaps that's difficult to write effectively when they barely appear and get only token dialogue. Of course the young children most likely to see this won't think about it, and they seem to be the film's only concern. To be fair, the antics of the gnomes and their fellow ornaments are likely to amuse child and adult alike. It's just unfortunate that this is the extent of the movie's depth. Gnomeo and Juliet is a movie to take the kids to, but it's not one to come back to. If you're looking for the first genuinely good animated movie of the year, keep waiting.

A Vietnamese entrepreneur has been awarded Laos ' Labour Order, third class, for supporting Laos ' National Assembly and people.
The Chairwoman of Laos' NA, Pany Zathotou, presented the award to Le Van Kiem, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Long Thanh-Vientiane Special Economic Zone in Vientiane on June 11.
When speaking at the presentation ceremony, Pany Zathotou thanked Kiem for providing the Lao NA with equipment serving its 7th session as well as for sponsoring the building of schools for poor pupils and houses of gratitude for Laotian war veterans as well as maintaining martyrs' cemeteries.
Kiem has left a deep impression in the Laotian people's hearts, as they see the return of a Vietnamese war veteran who had fought on Laotian battlefields and now returns to Laos to help the country develop, she said.
Kiem replied by saying he felt extremely honoured at receiving the noble reward and promised to continue with his social and charitable activities while striving to turn Long Thanh-Vientiane into a shining example of a special economic zone that highlights Vietnamese-Laotian fraternity.

A former economic official in the Clinton and Obama administrations said on "CBS This Morning" Friday that a better-than-expected jobless report for the first month of the year will add to the nation's psyche a boost of confidence, which he calls "the cheapest form of stimulus."
Lawrence Summers, who served as President Clinton's Treasury secretary and President Obama's director of the National Economic Council, told Erica Hill, Gayle King and Charlie Rose that the economy's addition of 243,000 jobs in January, which lowered the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent, was a positive sign.
"One of the pieces of advice I've always given, to President Obama and others, is that confidence is the cheapest form of stimulus and that confidence coming in is gotta be a good sign, and as more people get hired, you know, economies are about spirals," said Summers. "You can have a vicious cycle where people are losing their jobs, incomes are falling, spending is falling, that means incomes are falling, or you could have a virtuous circle where incomes grow, spending increases, more people get jobs, income increases, and there are signs that we're moving much more towards that virtuous circle from that vicious cycle."
Economy adds 243K jobs; jobless rate to 8.3%
January jobs report: Finally a great report
Newt Gingrich: I care about poor people
Even though the nation's rate of unemployment still has a long way to go before reaching the so-called "full employment" rate of around 5 percent, the U.S. has made progress in the past three years, Summers said.
"I do think that we really are recovering," said Summers, "that unlike in parts of Europe, where the economy is declining, in the United States the pace isn't everything we would want it to be, but the collapse that President Obama inherited really has been contained, and, albeit not as rapidly as we'd like, we are on an upwards path."
Summers said that the economy has shown similar signs of hiring in the past two winters but were then followed by slower periods of employment.
"Improvements in the unemployment rate, job creation, these are all positive things," said Summers, "and there is a fair amount of evidence that pace has picked up over the last few months. Whether that will continue, whether we'll have another disappointment, uh, no one can know, but it's certainly better when the numbers are coming in a little ahead of expectation than when the numbers are disappointing."
Overall, Summers said, the devastating effects of the economic collapse remain untouched.
"Make no mistake, Charlie, we still have a real jobs deficit in this country," said Summers. "We have a growth deficit in this country. We are still several- we are still millions of jobs short of where we should be. The level of incomes in the country are probably a trillion dollars short of where they should be."

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Fewer permits were issued for Minnesota's moose hunt this season, but the hunters who got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill a moose had a higher success rate than previous years.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says 54 moose were killed in the annual hunt ending Sunday. DNR area wildlife manager Tom Rusch says 94 parties took part in the two-week hunt in northeastern Minnesota and had a success rate of 58 percent. In recent years, the percentage of hunters taking a moose varied from 42 percent to 52 percent.
The Duluth News Tribune (http://bit.ly/pVW6u5) says the DNR reduced the number of permits available by about half this year because of the declining moose population. Hunters apply for permits in groups of two to four people.

Prof's solar home feeds into local power grid
When it comes to living lightly on the planet, Jean Bahr practices what she preaches.
Bahr, a professor of geology and environmental studies and an international authority on ground water, has become the first Madison home owner to generate electricity from the sun and feed it directly into a local electrical grid.
This spring, workers finished installing an affordable, practical system in Bahr's Nakoma Road home that transforms light from the sun into electricity, enabling her to meet a significant portion of her own electrical needs and feed excess electricity into the Madison Gas and Electric power grid.
"I've been interested in renewable energy for a long time," says Bahr, whose new sun-powered electrical system mirrors demonstration systems being installed in the addition to the Arboretum's McKay Center and at the Society of Friends meeting house off Monroe Street.
Solar technology, says Bahr, has come a long way, becoming far more efficient and affordable for the average consumer. But Bahr's primary motivation is reducing the amount of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide that's pumped into the atmosphere by fossil-fuel burning power plants.
Moreover, as a byproduct of utility deregulation, power companies are now required to purchase excess electrical capacity from even the smallest generator of power through parallel-generation agreements.
"Ten years ago, a system like this would have been completely out of reach for me. Now, the cost is about as much as a small car," Bahr says.
The combination of greater efficiency, lower cost and the ability to feed the local power grid makes the technology practical in urban settings for the first time, she says.
At the heart of the system on Bahr's home is a 280-square-foot grid of flat, shingle-like solar strips. The solar shingles consist of layers of film, each sensitive to a particular range of wavelengths. The roof grid transforms that sunlight into direct current. The current is routed to an inverter, a device that transforms the direct current into the alternating current that powers household appliances.
The cost of the entire system, says Bahr, was about $16,700 and, at peak generating capacity under full sunlight, it can crank out 1,600 watts an hour. Bahr estimates that she'll be able to generate about 2,000 kilowatt hours per year, about half of what she consumes now.
"I'm not a big user. I don't have an air conditioner, which is probably the biggest single use of electricity in a home. I use a lot of compact florescent bulbs and I'll be getting a new energy-efficient refrigerator this summer," says Bahr.
"I'm not denying myself anything I need and if we're going to get things like this to take off, we can't expect the American public to dramatically reduce our standard of living."
A bonus is that excess capacity generated during the day feeds the local power grid when demand is at a peak. The spread of the technology to an urban environment could significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels and limit the emission of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas and the chief suspect in the scenario of global warming.
"I didn't know until last summer that you could do this in an urban area and feed into the grid," she says.
Although Bahr had to cut through more red tape than anticipated with Madison Gas and Electric and insurance requirements, she praises the company for encouraging her solar initiative through its sponsorship of the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair and local demonstration projects. She attributes the excess of red tape to the fact that she was the first to sign on and that the language in the parallel-generating agreements is just now catching up with the technology that permits a homeowner to join energy producers.
"Once you have everything installed, it's kind of a seamless process. And, hopefully, the next person who does this will have an easier time of it."
