(Bloomberg) -- David Sirianni, Oppenheimer Holdings' head municipal bond trader, was fined $100,000 and suspended for 60 days by the FINRA for overcharging customers.
Sirianni marked up bonds as much as 16% from July 2008 through June 2009, FINRA said today in a statement. New York-based Oppenheimer also was ordered to pay a $675,000 fine and $246,000 in restitution. The brokerage and the trader settled the case without admitting to the allegations, Wall Streets self-regulator said in the statement.
FINRA has no tolerance for firms or individuals who charge customers excessive markups, Thomas Gira, Finras head of market regulation, said in the statement.
The investigation involved 89 transactions in which the brokerage added more than 5% to the cost of the bonds, FINRA said. Oppenheimer didnt disclose the markups to its customers, according to the regulator. The firms supervisory system didnt flag the trades for review because it looks at same-day markups and in these cases the bonds were held at least overnight, Finra said.
Oppenheimer altered its procedures to make sure that customers get fair prices on municipal bonds, according to Mary Beth Kissane, a spokeswoman for the firm at WalekPeppercomm. FINRAs claims involve a small number of trades, she said.
Sirianni declined to comment when reached by phone.
In one instance cited by the regulator, Oppenheimer bought Dowling College revenue bonds for 52.35 cents on the dollar on Dec. 9, 2008, and then sold them the next day for 14% more. On Dec. 11,Oppenheimer bought more securities of the Oakdale, New York-based college for 52.85 cents and 52.5 cents, which it flipped at a 13% markup.
Oppenheimers stock fell 0.8% today to $23.28.

I wasn't too satisfied with the background. It was way too generic.
I decided to redo it but I'm not sure on the color combos mixed with the shirt color.
Any feed back would be awesome.

SKDesigns141 weeks agoHaha. Love the halftone patterns. Well done. I like it. You make ol' Zoidberg look totally BA.
(If you could check out my Bowser/Dexter design and give me some feedback I'd appreciate that.)
CoDdesigns141 weeks agoThis is awesome, however I would put it on Red. If you put it on red obviously you can eliminate the red color way and keep the lighter pinker red. It would look real sharp!
Shades141 weeks agoActually I think I'd make the shirt the darker green color to really bring out the Zoidberg.
What do you think about the cthulu background?
Keep it black or go with one of the other colors?
I tried green but it clashed alot with the wings.
not sure it is needed
looks neat and all, but it distracts from the main protagonist Dr. John Zoidthulu. content-wise it doesn't make too much sense either. I do however agree that some shape filling that space over his head isn't the worst idea. just not another Cthulhu, that's like having two DeLoreans on one BTTF design if you know what I mean
other than that the design is great, I'd pick one up for sure
I tried something a little different for kicks. Any thoughts?
Antistrophe141 weeks agoSweet idea.
I likes the Cthulu head better than Planet Express, probably. I don't like white shirts much, so I kind of like the suggestion of a red shirt.
The red for your consideration.
I'm actually pretty pleased with this. The Planet Express doesn't take away from the main image. I like it.
Shades141 weeks agoOoo, yeah. I like the Planet Express logo on there too.

Perfect. CoDdesigns was absolutely right to suggest Red. You've saved an ink color and it really works for the design.
One of the most sinister/funny or funny/sinister designs I've seen of Dr John Zoidberg.
I think it's great, yes!
one thing (just a suggestion for you to try to see if it works): maybe instead of the PExpress logo ... try a shell or a starfish (an upside-down starfish would be hellishly cool) to go with the Decapod9 maritime theme ... and to keep it Zoidberg / Cthulhu only? dunno, just popped into my head ...
actually it's Decapod10 ... my bad
chaos0xomega140 weeks agoMy personal feeling is that you should try a slightly lighter half-toning color on his face. Compared to the wings, the face looks much darker, it just doesn't sit right with me for some reason.

I must admit, I usually go to the airport just in time to catch my flight. I never even notice most things there – it's just a transit point for me to get to my destination.
I might grab a beer before the flight and I'll definitely get cigarettes and alcohol if I'm flying international. That would be the extent of my airport experience.
I was at Kota Kinabalu International Airport for an entire day last Saturday. I flew in on the first flight and flew out on the last flight back to KL. Here are my experiences while I was there:
This is the furthest I've ventured from the airport. The concept of this trip is supposed to be like The Terminal where you live inside an airport. I can definitely see that happening – there are toilets for your showers, food outlets for your dining needs, and perhaps you can even work part time. Heh!
If, for some reason a civil war broke out in your home country while you're mid-flight and your passport isn't recognized anymore, I can safely say that yes, you can survive and even enjoy living in an airport.
Anyway, enough about that. KKIA has more offerings that I ever thought existed…like this massage place called Ku Fong Therapy Center. I went there to check it out coz I've been running around the entire airport and it was pure bliss.
The herbal foot spa involves submerging your feet into water mixed with herbal powder and cleaning it. You'll also get a full massage up to your thighs – very nice after a tiring day.
The foot scrub treatment is a pedicure of sorts. It lasts a full hour and it totally invigorated me for more exploration.
Stephanie was kind enough to offer me a complimentary back massage for 30 minutes but unfortunately I had to turn her down since I had a limited time to shop.
Shop? Huai Bin? Yes, you heard me right. There are a lot of duty free items that everyone can get – perfumes and chocolates are available for purchase even if you're flying domestic.
Naturally, I went for liquor filled chocolates. I'm a huge fan of these things – they're not chocolates per se but pralines. Mmm…
Perfumes and chocolates in duty free costs A LOT less than what you'll find in retail. It's a good reason to grab some when you're at the airport. My friend asked me to buy a bottle of Chanel for her.
I headed over to get some food next – there's some awesome coffee to be had at Jesselton Kopitiam at departures with a GREAT view of the runway.
That's the best part – you'll see if your plane has arrived just from that coffee shop.
Mr Kay was very kind – he noticed that I loved Kopi Tenom so much that he gave me some for my trip back!
It was good talking with him about how F&B in airports work and the clienteles' different preferences in food.
The view of Kota Kinabalu from the terminal is breathtaking. I've been here twice – once to conquer Mt. Kinabalu and the other time just to relax at the islands.
Hey, if you find it appealing you can always head out one of their tours!
I bought quite a lot of stuff at the airport, including a jacket from Bonia that I thought looked really cool on me.
I also got chocolates (for myself) and perfumes for friends.
I really like this limited edition CK one/be that comes with built-in speakers (!!!).
The Malaysia Mega Sales is also running now so you get twice the bang for your buck! There will be additional rewards and prizes from now until the 16th of September. Spend a minimum RM 250 and get an entry to Indulge & Win Contest + a RM10 on the spot voucher which you can use immediately.

No worries if you're not a Mastercard holder – you'll still get the RM 10 voucher to spend as you like! Plus you get 15% off everything too!
The entry form is for the Indulge & Win contest which starts from now until 6th January 2011. Just spend RM 250 and above on anything at the airport (spas, shopping, dining) at KLIA, LCCT, PIA, KIA, KKIA or LIA and win fantastic prizes. You must submit the form with a maximum of 3 cumulative receipts totaling RM 250 on the same day. Mastercard owners will get twice the number of entries!

I like your blog.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
very interesting information shared..Iam very happy to read this article..thanks for giving us nice info.Fantastic walk-through. I appreciate this website
Could you message me with any tips about how you made your blog look this cool, I'd be appreciative.

I'm planning to bookmark this internet internet site for arrived back again in upcoming.
Does anyone know where I can start a free website?
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

This post was very nicely written, and it also contains a lot of useful facts. I enjoyed your professional way of writing this post. Thanks, you have made it very easy for me to understand.

This page really has all the information I wanted concerning this subject and didn't know who to ask.

Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is aiming for a January 2014 opening in Ardmore, co-owner Kevin Finn told Patch on Wednesday.
"We've been looking for a spot on the Main Line forever, but we just hadn't really found a space," Finn said of the business, which just signed a lease for 60 Greenfield Ave. in Ardmore Plaza. The company has nine current restaurants and another planned for Voorhees, N.J.
"We've been talking to Ardmore for maybe five years," he added. "We were really close to signing a lease back in 2009 but it didn't pan out … it's an area we really liked."
Iron Hill, a full service restaurant and pub that brews on site at all of its breweries, is one of the fastest growing chains of brewpubs on the East Coast.
The size of the restaurant, and its ability to cater to large parties, families, business folks and the happy hour crowd alike is a major part of its success, Finn said.
"In our Chestnut Hill location, we get tons of families that didn't have places to go before … I think we'll get a similar thing in Ardmore," he explained.
This year, Iron Hill was voted "Best Restaurant for Kids" by Philadelphia Magazine. It was also named the World Beer Cup World Champion Brewery & Brewmaster for Small Brewpubs—and their beer has placed every year since 2002.
"It's encouraging that we're getting a big name that people would recognize," Ardmore Initiative Vice President Maryam Phillips said of Iron Hill's announcement. Ardmore properties, she said, aren't always attractive to larger businesses because of their smaller size.
A well-known, well-loved company moving to town can have positive repercussions for the business community, Phillips added: "It creates a 'destination' and everyone can benefit from it."
With two other spirited newcomers—The Beer Shoppe right next door to the soon-to-be brewery and Tired Hands Brewing Company a block away (owned by former West Chester Iron Hill brewer Jean Broillet IV)—Ardmore seems well on its way to becoming a beer mecca.
The triad may end up complementing each other more than competing, though: The Beer Shoppe focuses on beer takeout, and Tired Hands is a smaller, more intimate venue than Iron Hill promises to be.
Ardmore will be the 11th Iron Hill location. The chain plans to open several more locations by 2015 ranging from Washington DC to Northern New Jersey. But, Finn said, Ardmore is the focus for now.
Ardmore is next in line for construction, after the Voorhees, N.J. location is completed. Construction could potentially begin at the Ardmore Plaza location—60 Greenfield Ave., the former site of Norman Carpet One—as soon as early summer, Finn said.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns is scheduled to visit New Delhi next week to discuss a "whole gamut" of relationship with top Indian leaders.
On his maiden trip to India as the Deputy Secretary of State — the most powerful position in the U.S. State Department after the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton — Mr. Burns' visit is reflective of the high-level engagement between the two countries in the aftermath of the Bali meet between the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and the U.S. President, Barack Obama.
Mr. Burns, who is expected to leave on December 10, is likely to have his official meetings in New Delhi on December 12 with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon and Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai, sources said.
The top American diplomat, who personally sees 'India file' at the State Department, is expected to discuss with the Indian leaders a "whole gamut" of relationship, which includes the bilateral ties and the situation in the region including Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Mr. Burns would leave for a quick trip of South East Asia, including Vietnam before returning to India for the second leg of his visit.
Mr. Burns, sources said, is expected to return to India in less than a week to Mumbai and Pune for the second leg of his trip which is likely to focus on economic and education aspects of the bi-lateral ties.

Records of the Duchy of Lancaster
Records of the Chancellor and Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, concerned principally with the administration of the Duchy estate throughout England and Wales throughout England and Wales and the safeguarding of Duchy privileges and rights.
Also, records of the Court of Duchy Chamber, consisting mainly of equity proceedings.
The following series numbers have not been used: DL 2, DL 11, DL 18, DL 19, DL 22, DL 33.
Palatinate of Lancaster, 1377-1875
The origins of the Duchy of Lancaster lay in the desire of Henry III (1216-1272) to establish his youngest son, Edmund Crouchback, as a territorial magnate in England, following his failure to secure for him the Sicilian throne in 1258. Thus, in the aftermath of the Barons' War, Edmund was endowed with the extensive estates of the defeated leader of the baronial rebellion, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester (d1265). Then in 1267 he was created Earl of Lancaster and granted all the royal demesnes in the county of Lancashire.
Edmund was succeeded by his son, Thomas of Lancaster, who increased the inheritance by marriage, and from whom the estate passed to Thomas's brother Henry, third Earl of Lancaster, in 1322. Henry's son, also called Henry (of Grosmont), was created the first Duke of Lancaster in 1351. Henry was succeeded, in 1361, by his daughter Blanche and her husband, John of Gaunt. They in turn were succeeded by their son, Henry Bolingbroke, whose accession as King Henry IV in 1399 brought the Lancaster inheritance into the possession of the crown.
However, Henry did not allow the inheritance to be merged into the crown's other lands, and it retained its separate identity as the Duchy of Lancaster. It continued, and continues today, to be administered separately from the other crown estates.
On the accession of Henry IV in 1399, the term Duchy came to refer to the whole of the Lancaster estate rather than just the County Palatine as had been the case before. The county of Lancashire was raised to palatine status in 1351, which gave to the duke sovereign rights in the county in the spheres of justice and administration.

What would Pikesville be without the Suburban House? The residents of that area learned what it was like when a fire in July of 2009 destroyed the building and many of the dining habits of those who would eat there several times a week.
It was not pretty.
Fortunately owners Joe Stowe and Mark Horowitz (since 1984) re-opened in a relatively short period at the location of the former Fuddrucker's in Pomona Square.
Opening day was not unlike opening day at Camden Yards. People packed the restaurant to see what it looked like and to taste the deli.
Open seven days from 8 to 8, the Suburban House is serving items that have kept the restaurant in business for decades. Deli items include house favorites the reuben and corned beef sandwiches, and matzoh ball soup.
As important as the food is, what also draws people in is the fact that most likely you'll know someone eating there. So you go over to their table and chat a bit.
It's almost like dining at a family function, table hopping is almost a required activity.
The restaurant seats about 250 (outside dining in season). It's casual, reservations are a good idea, dinners range from $7 to $13, there is plenty of parking, they do deliver and cater and there are daily specials.
The manager, David Hess, has been there 18 years and the chef has been there 28 years. Both Joe and Mark believe in giving back to the community which is why they were so involved with MADD and the Jewish Recovery House.
You can follow them on Facebook or call 410-484-7775 or visit their website. You can also find coupons on Recoup.com. Part of the proceeds goes to charity.
One final thought, the first Monday of each month you can be entertained by the Night at the Copa Singers, which actually includes me as part of the ensemble. Reason enough to check it out, don't you think.

The Djellaba, a typical robe that you cannot miss from the very first few seconds after arriving in Morocco. According to the many people we have met who have professed to be experts in many areas, there are three basic types of djellaba for men and two basic everyday options for women. For both sexes, the machzania or "government" djellaba is the most common throughout the country. For the men, there are also the northern and the southern djellaba, and for the women there is the kaftanlamic religion of Morocco is also a key factor in the way that Moroccan people dress. The djellaba covers the whole body and is therefore an acceptable modest outfit.

Argan oil is well known for it's anti-ageing properties, Due to high levels of Vitamin E and saponins, which soften the skin. It can help to reduce wrinkles by restoring the skin's water lipid layer and it also cools and soothes inflammation. Its antioxidant properties help to neutralise free radicals. Yet it does all this quite naturally.
It is known as the Tree of Life. For centuries it's been a well-kept secret known only to the Berber women who use it to nourish their skin, hair and nails. They also use it to soothe dry eczema, acne and psoriasis and stretch marks.
To get the maximum benefit from argan you should take it internally as well. It contains twice as much vitamin E as olive oil and is rich in antioxidants. It contains eight essential fatty acids and also rare plant sterols with anti-inflammatory properties, so it's beneficial for arthritic or rheumatic conditions.
The oil has a delicious nutty taste and is best used as a salad dressing, or drizzled over pasta – the health-giving properties are lost if it's heated. Shop Morocco

Moroccan Djellaba
The djellaba is the clasic Moroccan garment with a long sleeves and loosely fitting hooded. Although traditionally a outer robe. The light summer djellaba can be worn seperatly . Djellabas come in a variety of styles, patterns and colors, with equaly as many different materials.Typically, men traditionally wear a hat (kufi) or a red fez hat (tarboosh) and soft yellow leather slippers (babouche) with a djellaba.Women also wear djellabas. The hood is of vital importance for both sexes as it protects the wearer from the sun and in earlier times was used as a defence against sand being blown into the wearers face by strong desert winds. It is not uncommon for the hood to be used as an informal pocket during times of nice weather, and can fit loaves of bread or bags of groceries. Djellabas are made of a wide variety of materials, from cotton or rayon for summer-time djellabas to coarse wool for winter djellabas. The wool is typically harvested from sheep living in the surrounding mountains, sometimes goat or camel hair is added especially in the heavier winter djellabas. Then a long process of turning the wool into yarn is carried out (normally by hand). It is then woven in the fabric to create the garment. The djellaba is worn by both men and women; the men's style is generally baggier while a women's djellabas is generally tighter and can sport elaborate decorative embroidery in a variety of colors. Women normally add a head scarf. Almost all djellabas of both styles include a baggy hood called a 'cob' that comes to a point at the back. Traditionally Djellabas reach right down to the ground but nowadays they are becoming slimmer and shorter.

Moroccan Artisan Carpets
Morocco's appeal to travelers is Artisan normally available for a decent price. And, for those gifted with the art of bartering a even better price can be achieved. One of the most sought after items in Morocco are carpets. For those armed with the knowledge of what makes a quality carpet and a basic price range to begin the wheeling and dealing, buying a carpet in Morocco can be a rewarding experience (and make your living room look astounding).
Local Moroccan women who make the carpets often are not the ones who end up selling them. In some small villages, where women's cooperatives exist, the women are involved in pricing and selling process. They might even have set prices, which are what many travelers prefer, especially if they aren't into bargaining while sipping tea for two or more hours in a crowded medina alleyway.
Therefore, if possible, attempt to visit a local artisanal shop or women's cooperative to have an idea of what prices are fair for different types of carpets. One type of carpet is the heavy woolen type that is available throughout the country. In Rabat, which is one epicenter for these types of carpets, travelers can search the medina – which happens to be one of the most laid-back souk areas in the entire country. These types of carpets are different than others you'll find elsewhere in Morocco because of their design that holds true to basic Islamic Art patterns. Usually, these carpets have one central motif that works its way to a highly detailed border. Before looking at a carpets central theme, look over its border. If it is detailed, solid, and thick, then the carpet will cost more money than another without the same outer-edge workmanship.
Knowing the different prices for carpets is quite difficult. The rule goes: If a buyer is happy with the price, then it is a fair price to pay. While this thought process is a little different for western travelers who would rather have something fixed, you'll begin to understand the mentality better after a few days' experience in various marketplaces. An old antique carpet that is more than 50 years old, for example, will be worth quite a bit of money, especially if it has been taken care of and withstood the tests of time. Other, more modern carpets may appear bright and illustrious, but their colors will fade over time – something that actually adds to the original look and feel of the piece. Knowing the difference between what chemical and natural (or vegetable) dyes will help.
Overall, a carpet can be judged by how many knots it has per square meter (or yard). Excellent carpets that fetch the highest prices might have nearly 350,000 knots in it per square meter (or about 300,000 per square yard). This type of workmanship is hard to find, but can be had if one looks hard enough. If a carpet vendor claims that their carpets have more knots than this, then you know that it is a far-fetched tale. Additionally, outside of the Rabat region, carpets vary in length, design, and craftsmanship. With hundreds (if not thousands) of types available, it will be dependent upon your taste and ability to spot a well-made piece that determines what sort of carpet you'll bring home. These patterns will include geometrical patterning and not have outlandish repetitions of the same design. These carpets are often called hanbels or kilims. Other carpets, which are thicker and well made, are called zaneefi designs, while a shoedwi is a type of carpet that is usually made up of mostly black and white designs.

Cambria and Somerset county commissioners are working to quickly hammer out a deal both can agree on to refinance the bonds both guarantee for the Cambria Somerset Authority.
With interest rates rising and chipping away at their potential savings, there seemed to be a sense of urgency to get it done. The sides left a meeting on Thursday in Somerset mulling two options that would have Somerset County "guaranteeing" the entire $7.5 million for the CSA while strengthening language to compel Cambria to pay its share on time.
"The goal here is to come to an agreement that will benefit both counties," Cambria President Commissioner Doug Lengenfelder said, noting both counties would be able to reduce their annual bond payments.
The reduction may not be nearly as much as much as the boards originally expected.
Interest rates have spiked since the quote the counties received in March, Somerset Solicitor Dan Rullo said.
So much so, that the projected savings over 20 years has dipped to approximately $465,000 – or $232,500 for each county – even with Somerset fully backing the restructured debt with its A-1 bond rating, he said.
Thanks to agreements already in place, Rullo said Somerset County essentially won't be further tied to the bonds even if it guarantees the full amount.
Neither county serves as the bondholder – that's the CSA's role. And Cambria County still will owe annual payments toward the repayment equal to Somerset's, Rullo said.
"The only way this guarantee becomes a factor is if the CSA goes under," he said, describing it as an unlikely scenario that either county would want to see occur.
Somerset County officials have expressed some hesitancy in recent weeks to fully guarantee the bonds because Cambria was late on a 2011 payment share to the CSA, making it in early 2012. The current, then newly-elected commissioners board needed a few extra months that year to make its 2012 payment. Its 2013 payments were made on schedule.
Lengenfelder said payments were held by the Controller's Office, despite commissioners' requests during times cash was short, but that all payments have been made.
He said the Commissioners' Office sought and received a judge's writ ordering the payment to occur, and suggested Somerset officials tie language to any bond restructuring agreement that would require Cambria to take steps such as that again if necessary. In such a case, commissioners would be required to pay annual obligations a month before the due date or seek a judge's order forcing payment, if needed, to ensure it is paid on time.
Somerset County officials suggested a county lose CSA board members – they currently each have four – if they are late on payments.
The sides left the meeting saying they will follow up with one another in the coming days.
If a tentative agreement can be reached, it would need to be ratified separately by both boards at public meetings, Rullo said.
The annual bond payment for each is county is approximately $464,000.
Commissioners John Vatavuk and Mark Wissinger, both CSA board members, suggested structuring a front-loaded savings that would steeply cut those payments the first year or two. After that, the annual bond dues would go back above $400,000 annually.
Both pointed to CSA efforts to boost its own revenues through mine leases and a potential deal with Pristine Resources for an unused CSA pipeline that could pump in millions of dollars that could be directed toward the bonds in the years ahead.
"That Pristine deal alone could make a big difference," Vatavuk said.

Bottom line: The Princess and the Frog offers an eccentric concoction of flavor and fun, featuring a fabulous new princess in familiar fairy tale fashion. Some parents may be concerned by frequent references to voodoo magic and related items such as tarot cards and talismans.

The Princess and the Frog Movie Trailer
The Princess and the Frog - Overview
As a little girl, Tiana's loving parents instilled in her many wonderful values, and along with that, her father passed on his passion for great food. Now that she is older, Tiana is determined to fulfill her father's biggest dream by opening a restaurant of her own.
While Tiana's goal seems just about in her grasp, a character creating quite a stir in town seems to be going in the opposite direction. Prince Naveen, from the mythical country of Maldonia, has found himself in an unfortunate state of affairs and has set his eye on Tiana's friend, rich debutante Charlotte LaBouff. His plan to marry Charlotte is waylaid, however, when he falls for the voodoo trickery of the malicious Dr. Facilier and ends getting turned into a frog.
Believing Tiana to be a princess, the frog Naveen convinces her to give him just one little kiss. But fairy tales don't always come true, and Tiana's good deed lands her in the same spot as Naveen. Now a frog herself, Tiana must journey with Naveen into the bayou in the hopes of finding someone who can help them both.
New friends and amazing adventures lead them down a path that they never expected, and Tiana and Prince Naveen learn about life and love while deep in the Louisiana bayou. Meanwhile, Dr. Facilier and his new friend Lawrence have a little dream of their own. Will Tiana and Naveen's amphibious adventure cost them everything?
The Princess and the Frog - Guide Review
Disney owns the market on animated princess movies, and in many ways, their latest royal offering is just like the rest – kind, deserving, independent young woman beats the odds, finds her prince charming, and smiles as all of her dreams come true. It's not all stuff we've seen before, though. Set in the hoppin' town of New Orleans, The Princess and the Frog offers an eccentric concoction of flavor and fun, featuring a truly fabulous new princess who is, of course, beautiful, smart, good, and hardworking. Kids will enjoy the quirky characters who become her friends (although they may be crushed when one of them dies), the snappy songs spanning several soulful New Orleans genres, and the requisite fairy tale story.
But, while this festive film puts forth a decent role model and more than one great life lesson, it is also studded with elements surrounding magic and the supernatural that could be frightening to young children and could possibly be concerning to parents, depending on their feelings and beliefs about such things. The voodoo witch doctor villain in the movie, Dr. Facilier, is reminiscent of the wicked Queens in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, who use dark magic to accomplish their selfish designs, and his shadowy henchmen from "the other side" are about as scary as the evil Horned King and his warriors in The Black Cauldron. References to voodoo and magic are made throughout the film, and Dr. Facilier uses things like voodoo dolls and blood-filled talismans to manipulate others for his own selfish purposes.
The Princess and the Frog - Content Overview*May contain spoilers.
- Violence (Medium): Violence in The Princess and the Frog is mostly of the cartoonish slapstick sort with characters falling, crashing into things, getting their tongues tied together -- that kind of thing. Three hunters in the movie wield weapons such as knives, guns and clubs (with which they beat each other mercilessly while trying to catch frogs). Dr. Facilier calls out scary shadows, his "friends from the other side," to go after the frog Naveen. They catch him by pulling his shadow back to Facilier. The most harm comes to Ray the firefly, who is squished underneath Facilier's boot.
Scary Scenes (High): Scenes listed under "Violence" may be frightening to young kids. The frogs end up in some perilous situations in the bayou involving things like hungry alligators and hunters. Children may be frightened by Dr. Facilier in some scenes where he sings about his friends from the other side. The scenes depict scary-faced shadows, cartoony voodoo dolls, singing voodoo masks, skulls, and other voodoo imagery. The scary shadows chase down the good characters. Their desire is to help Facilier so that he in turn will give them the souls of the people in New Orleans. In the end, a screaming Facilier is taken by the shadowy "friends."
- Sad/Unsettling Scenes (High): Princess Tiana misses her late father, and she wants more than anything to open a restaurant and fulfill the dream he'd always had. One character in the movie dies, and his friends are all very sad.
- Sex/Nudity (Low): Some girls in gowns show a lot of cleavage. Several kisses occur throughout the movie (a couple between girls and frogs, and a couple between a man and a woman), and kissing is discussed frequently. Naveen is a real ladies' man and all the girls dote over him. He likes having "a redhead on the left and a brunette on the right." Several jokes containing mild innuendo are made.
- Drugs and Alcohol (Medium): Visual references to wine and/or champagne are made throughout the movie during scenes involving parties and restaurants. A couple of main characters, including Tiana, are shown taking sips of wine and/or champagne.
- Profanity (None): No profanity is used, but the word "butt" is used, and the word "Lord" is used.
- Disrespectful/Imitative Behavior (Extreme): Kids may decide to imitate the use of tarot cards, voodoo dolls, and other such items shown in the movie. Also, Naveen hopes to use his charm and marry Charlotte for her money, Naveen's servant Lawrence is jealous of Naveen and agrees to Dr. Facilier's plan in order to get money, and Facilier was obviously willing to trade his soul for power and magic that would help him get money. Charlotte is a spoiled little rich girl who demands everything all the time.
The Princess and the Frog Topics to Discuss
- After seeing The Princess and the Frog, kids may have questions about: voodoo, witch doctors, magic, shadows or spirits, tarot cards, voodoo dolls, New Orleans, royalty, wishing on a star, the bayou.

0Watch This: Aretha's Tribute to Whitney Houston
I was a little prickly that she didn't bother to turn up at the Houston funeral as planned, never mind that she missed the private wake the night before (she had a concert at Radio City Music Hall to perform instead).
But Aretha Franklin—Houston's godmother—performed no fewer than two Whitney tributes on Friday night.
Above, a clip of Aretha's version of "The Greatest Love of All." Too bad the video doesn't land the entire song; I really like the arrangement, from what I heard anyway.
Her version of "I Will Always Love You" is short and sweet: Aretha only trills through the refrain a couple times, not even attempting Whitney's version. Very restrained, very nice.
Aretha! All is forgiven!

1Watch Whitney Houston's Funeral Live; Aretha Franklin a No-Show
Funeral services for Whitney Houston have just begun, and CNN is covering the scene in Newark:
Hand-clapping choirs performed gospel standards Saturday as celebrities and parishioners filled the New Jersey sanctuary where singer Whitney Houston will be remembered through song, tears and praise to the Lord.
Oprah Winfrey, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Forest Whitaker, Spike Lee, Kevin Costner and Houston's former husband, Bobby Brown, were among those who arrived shortly before the noon homegoing service at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where Houston got her start in the choir.
The service will feature performances by Stevie Wonder—singing one of his hits, "Ribbon in the Sky"—R&B star R. Kelly, Alicia Keys and gospel greats Kim Burrell and BeBe Winans.
The New Hope Baptist Church Mass Choir and the New Jersey Mass Choir will open the service. Pastor Marvin Winans will deliver the eulogy. Bishop T.D. Jakes will deliver remarks, along with Costner, Houston's co-star in the movie "The Bodyguard;" her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis; and director-producer Tyler Perry.
Patricia Houston, the singer's sister-in-law and former manager, will speak at the end of the service, followed by Houston's cousin, singer Dionne Warwick, according to the program.
Multiple media outlets reported this morning that Aretha Franklin has cancelled her appearance at Houston's funeral, as she began experiencing "foot and leg problems" last night.
Houston's family and friends attended a private wake last night.
CNN is airing the funeral live on television and streaming on its website; the CBS Ustream is embedded above.

12I Love the Kentucky Derby
I love the Kentucky Derby–not because of the horse racing. I could give a crap about horse racing– although I do love to hear Nancy O'Dell talk about how she chooses what horse to bet on based on how nice its ass is.
Equestrian junk-in-the-trunk aside, I love the Kentucky derby because it makes obscenely rich (and moderately famous) people put ridiculous things on their heads and stroll around for photo ops because, well, that's just what one does on Derby Day. It's the rich and famous version of peer pressure at its worst, and I love every minute of it.
Take a stroll through the photo gallery. You'll find yourself asking questions like: Did a can of silly string explode on Lynn Whitfield's head? Does Bobby Flay ever NOT look like a total prick? If I jump on Brooke Shields' head, will I get an extra life?
In case you were wondering, a tiny, screaming, weeping, Creole lunatic riding a horse called "Mine That Bird" won the race today. God, I love the derby.

Though the housing construction markets may have stalled around the world, commercial skyscraper construction is in high gear. In Asia, the United States and Europe, countries are competing for the bragging rights of the largest skyscrapers.
Following the August opening of the 74 story China World Tower, the tallest building in Beijing, China has set its sights on the construction of Sky City, which will be the 2nd tallest building in the world when complete.
The Changsha Broad Air Conditioning Company has unveiled designs for the 200-storey Sky City tower, a sustainable mixed use project. At 666 meters tall, the building will house 1.2 million square meters of space for residential apartments, retail, offices, restaurants, schools and a myriad of other facilities. The building will be manufactured in a factory and assembled on the construction site. Additionally, the tower will have the capacity for 70,000 to 110,000 residents.
In the United States, construction on One World Trade Center in New York City is humming along. The building has already reached an impressive 44 stories. By the time it opens in 2013, it will be 104 stories high or 1,776 feet, making it the tallest building in New York City and the United States. One World Trade Center will steal the crown of the nation's tallest tower from the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower in Chicago, which is 1,451 feet high and touts a skydeck on the 103rd floor.
London is bustling with the construction of four pivotal skyscraper projects: Leadenhall skyscraper, the "Walkie Talkie" Tower, the Shard and Heron Tower projects. The projects promise to contribute the urban revitalization of the city, while creating jobs and enticing more businesses to set up shop in London.

Central Illinois Ag is the third largest Case IH dealer of Precision Farming products in North America. We believe in it. Let us show you how you can directly benefit from Precision Farming with an in-depth product demonstration.
Precision Farming is the future; you will wonder how you farmed without it.
Precision Farming uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to determine the precise latitude and longitude of any location on earth. The GPS system is based on a group of satellites known as a constellation. Through the use of the US owned NAVSTAR (Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging) and more recently the Russian owned GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), GPS receivers installed in your equipment are able to use satellite signals encrypted with a correctional signal to pin point, in real time, an exact location on earth. The use of GPS helps you become more efficient with your machinery by reducing the amount of skips and overlaps which aids in reducing crop input cost, fuel machinery cost and total operation time.
At the same time, GPS allows you to keep more accurate records of site-specific information in the field such as crop yield, moisture, variety and population.
Depending on your specific needs, there are multiple networks that provide different accuracies in the field. The basic network known as WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) is a free system that comes standard on any GPS system. The WAAS network provides six to eight inches of pass-to-pass accuracy. For more precision, an upgrade to OmniSTAR is available that delivers two to three inches of pass-to-pass accuracy. And for those looking for the most precision available, you have the option to use RTK or the new RTX network. Both of these systems provide sub-inch accuracy for tasks that require precise implement placement year to year.
The RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) Network signal corrections are transmitted in real-time from a reference receiver at a known location to one or more remote rover receivers. The use of an RTK capable GPS system can compensate for atmospheric delay, orbital errors and other variables in GPS geometry, increasing positioning accuracy up to within a centimeter. Used by engineers, topographers, surveyors and other professionals, RTK is a technique employed in applications where precision is paramount. RTK is used, not only as a precision positioning instrument, but also as a core for navigation systems or automatic machine guidance, in applications such as civil engineering and dredging. It provides advantages over other traditional positioning and tracking methods, increasing productivity and accuracy. Using the code phase of GPS signals, as well as the carrier phase, which delivers the most accurate GPS information, RTK provides differential corrections to produce the most precise GPS positioning.
Central Illinois Ag currently has over 500,000 acres covered by our own RTK towers and we are adding more on a regular basis. We also work with surrounding dealers that have adjoining networks to provide seamless transition when moving from one area to another. Please contact any of our salesman or precision farming specialists to find out if you are covered, or if we are coming to your area soon.
Central Illinois Ag is dedicated to providing today's producers with the most up-to-date precision agricultural equipment. We continue to offer many products from both Case IH and Trimble to meet all producers' needs no matter how big or small. For a demo or more information, please contact your local dealer.
Visit our Precision Farming equipment page for information on the equipment needed to begin farming with precision.

Best known in his lifetime as the adopted son of George Washington, George Washington Parke Custis eventually became a key figure in preserving the memory and possessions of Washington. Born in 1781 to John Parke Custis, Martha Washington's son from her first marriage, George Washington Parke Custis was adopted by George and Martha upon the death of his father when Custis was only six months old.
Custis was raised at Mount Vernon and remained a prominent figure in Washington City and Alexandria until his death in 1857. Known by his grandparents as "Wash," Custis was indulged by his grandmother as a child at Mount Vernon. His sister Nelly recalled that "Grandmamma always spoiled him," and Custis's daughter recounted that public duties kept George Washington from offering the stern presence and discipline that could have benefited the young Wash.1 By the time Custis left Virginia to attend college at Princeton in 1797, his grandfather had retired and took a more active role in shaping his ward. Washington wrote Custis frequently to encourage him to take his studies more seriously. Custis soon left Princeton for St. John's College in Annapolis but never completed his college education.
George Washington died in December 1799, leaving Custis his twelve hundred acre tract of land at Four-mile run in Alexandria and square 21 in the fledgling Washington City. However, Custis chose to build his home on land inherited from his father at Arlington. This thousand acre piece of land was situated just across the Potomac River from Washington City, and Custis built a Greek Revival home atop a hill with expansive views of the river and the city.
In 1804, Custis married Mary Lee Fitzhugh. The couple had four children but only one, Mary Anna Custis (later Lee), survived to adulthood. Custis owned landed estates worked by nearly 200 slaves, although he freed some slaves during his lifetime and all upon his death. While not a financially successful plantation manager, Custis promoted American agriculture and was particularly interested in domestic sheep farming and wool production. This endeavor was at the heart of many of the large parties he held on the lawn at Arlington House under George Washington's military tent.
Custis was also known for his literary and oratory skills, authoring several popular plays and having speeches reprinted in newspapers across the country. His 1812 funeral oration for press freedom advocate James Lingan was one of his most well-known pieces. His essays on George Washington were compiled and published by his daughter as Recollections and Private Memoirs of Washington in 1860.
Custis's legacy would also live on through Arlington House. His daughter married Robert E. Lee in 1831 and the Lees and Custises resided at Arlington until Custis's death in 1857. During the Civil War, Arlington House was captured by Union troops and the grounds turned into a cemetery, which it remains today as Arlington National Cemetery.
