Netflix's initial foray into original programming is perhaps still its most successful – successive attempts Hemlock Grove and the renewed Arrested Development series have surely been met with more critical derision than the House Of Cards remake released earlier this year. All three have taken advantage of Netflix's new release model, where an entire series becomes available for viewing in one fell stroke, rather than the week-in, week-out viewing models of regular network programming. But that's an argument for another day.
What this meant for House Of Cards, all the way back in February of this year, was a 'viewing binge' by many subscribers – including this reviewer – taking in all thirteen episodes of the show in just a few days. In some ways, this actually made the often slow-pacing of the show irrelevant, »

"House of Cards" beauty Kristen Connolly has just signed on to star opposite Joan Allen in the adaptation of the Stephen King novella from Full Dark No Stars entitled A Good Marriage. There. Now you can go on with the rest of your day.
Peter Askin, who directed the 2007 documentary about the Hollywood Blacklist and McCarthyism titled Trumbo, is on board to helm the thriller and is producing with his Reno Productions partner Will Battersby.
King's story centers on a woman named Darcy who discovers the sinister and gruesome double life that her husband of 25 years and father of their two children has been living. She must now decide how far she is willing to go to maintain the marriage. King wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is being financed by independent equity. Paradigm is handling domestic rights, while Atlas International is selling foreign rights.

Anyone hoping to glean even the smallest detail of House of Cards' second season during the series' TV Academy panel on Thursday night was out of luck. Beau Willimon seems to come from the Matthew Weiner school of transparency in terms of showrunning. "Nothing about season two," he said when cast member Kristen Connolly was asked if she'd be returning. The gag order extended to when and how future episodes will premiere -- and whether or not plans are already in motion for a life beyond Netflix's current $100 million 26-episode order.

The Bay, 2012.
Directed by Barry Levinson.
Starring Will Rogers, Kristen Connolly, Kether Donohue, Stephen Nunken, Frank Deal, Christopher Denham and Nansi Aluka.
Chaos breaks out in the small seaside town of Chesapeake Bay when a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the residents into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites.
If you've watched the Paranormal Activity films of late, or watched The Blair Witch Project when that was released, and you find yourself itching to see another found footage film, then The Bay may well be what you're looking for. Yes right now we're in the flux of a found footage stampede. They're coming out left, right and centre. Big screen and small screen. It's possibly the "in thing" of the horror genre right now. Do we really need another? Do we even want another? If the answer is yes, then The Bay will probably satisfy. »

Director: Barry Levinson
Starring: Kristen Connolly, Will Rogers, Christopher Denham,
Running Time: 84 Minutes
Certificate: 15
Extras: Behind the scenes footage, Trailer
News that Barry Levinson, director of Rain Man, Diner and Sphere, was making a found-footage horror film caused either a ripple of excitement, or a 'sigh' of tedium depending on your view of the divisive genre.
The simple story harks back to the likes of Jaws as a rapidly spreading parasite rips through a small town on the 4th of July. This outlandish comparison is in no way hyperbolic, because no-one will be going in the water after the events of the movie. More than horror, the film also offers social commentary, with a clearly underprepared government ignoring early warnings in favour of profits.
Levinson manages to put found footage to incredible use: jumping between holiday videos (of which there are many being 4th July), cell phones, webcams, CCTV, and »

Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 2 (18)
(Anurag Kashyap, 2012, Ind) Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Zeishan Quadri, Aditya Kumar, Huma Qureshi. 160 mins
It's over five hours long in all, but there's barely a slack moment in this exhilarating Indian epic as it races through generations of smalltown criminal, industrial and political enmity. Yes, it's violent, but like all great crime stories it's also a vibrant tapestry of family life and modern history, closer to Leone, Coppola or Tarantino than Bollywood.
Stoker (18)
(Park Chan-wook, 2013, Us/UK) Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode. 99 mins
The Oldboy director gives us a sensual, tantalisingly ambiguous thriller, centred on Wasikowska and her shifty smalltown family.

(Nicholas Jarecki, 2012, Us) Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling. »

Director: Barry Levinson; Screenwriter: Michael Wallach; Starring: Kristen Connolly, Christopher Denham, Jane McNeill; Running time: 84 mins; Certificate: 15
Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson, the veteran who helmed classics like Rain Men, Diner and Bugsy, deserves kudos for attempting to turn the increasingly moribund found footage subgenre into a more thought-provoking entity. But beyond noble intentions lies a largely ineffective and ponderous movie that harnesses many of the worst elements of both the horror genre and the found footage trope.
The Bay has a familiar eco-disaster premise that harks back to movies like Return of the Living Dead Part II. Instead of the toxic gas spillage that torments a town in that zombie splatterfest, Levinson's movie features a waterborne threat that stems from the unethical dumping of waste off the shores of a seaside town in Maryland.
After the one-dimensionally fiendish mayor ignores some ominous scientific research, a deadly plague is unleashed and »

Chicago – By now, many of you have probably worked your way through the thirteen episodes of Netflix's highly anticipated and (mostly) highly acclaimed new dramatic original series, "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Corey Stoll, and Kate Mara. While TV critics often get programming in advance, this was a case where everyone had access to all 13 episodes of the first season of a show at the same time.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
It's only one way in which "House of Cards" changed the rules. And lest you think that this series is not a game-changer, call someone at HBO, Showtime, Hulu, Amazon, or the ratings-deprived networks. They're all paying close attention to what Netflix has accomplished here in defining a new business model that is not just profitable but creatively vital as well.

On Friday, Netflix released their much-hyped original TV series House of Cards. Was it worth the wait? Should they make a second season or cancel it now?
Based on a novel by Michael Dobbs and a BBC mini-series, House of Cards revolves around a devious congressman (Kevin Spacey) and his wife (Robin Wright) who'll stop at nothing to execute his plans to reach higher office.
Others in the cast include Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Michael Kelly, Kristen Connolly, Constance Zimmer, Sebastian Arcelus, Sandrine Holt, Michael Gill, Dan Ziskie, Sakina Jaffrey, Ben Daniels, Mahershala Ali, and Rachel Brosnahan.
Unlike a traditional network, Netflix released all 13 episodes of House of Card's first season at once, so customers can stream them on their own schedule. With DVR usage becoming more and more prevalent, people obviously like this option but it remains to »

-Norwegian authorities should contribute to Europe enacting Magnitsky type legislation, said Gunnar M. Ekeløve-Slydal, Deputy Secretary General. – There is need for new ways of addressing the very serious human rights violations that take place in Russia from the part of European governments and institutions. Magnitsky legislation may prove to be an efficient supplement to regional and international human rights mechanisms. Norway should signal support of the EU enacting Magnitsky type legislation.
One year after the bombing of the DIY pub and violent counter demonstrators attacked a Diversity March in Yerevan, Armenia still suffers from widespread intolerance and discrimination of minorities. The legislation does not include hate crime with intent towards gender and sexual minorities, and the government fails to protect the rights of these citizens. Media is more often used as a tool to build up under prejudice and intolerance, and homophobic statements are frequently used by stakeholders to gain popularity.
Human rights education:
As part of the NHC project on the role of Universities in peacebuilding, a conference was held 19-20 April in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the conference was to initiate a dialogue on how universities can contribute to build and promote peace in the region. The University of Tuzla is one of five partner universities from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo, that participates in the project Build Bridges not Walls: the Role of the Universities in Peacebuilding.
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee presents a series of short documentaries about present and former political prisoners in Belarus, made by local filmmakers. The intention of the documentaries is to present the persons behind the names of the prisoners to a local as well as an international audience. We believe this is important to understand why we must continue to struggle for their release.
Golos to be first victim of repressive NGO-legislation in Russia?:
On April 25, Golos was convicted for failing to comply with NGO-legislation and failing to register as foreign agents. NHC was a witness during the trial where we refuted claims that Golos has accepted prize money from us. The legislation is itself in violation of international law, and we condemn the court decision as unlawful. Golos must pay a fine of 300 000 roubles, approx. 9 500 USD. On 9 April Golos, a renowned human rights NGO conducting election monitoring in Russia, and Golos director Lilia Shibanova, was informed by the Ministry of Justice that a case is initiated against them for being in breach of the 2012 "foreign agents law". – To initiate legal actions against a human rights organizations for not having registered as a "foreign agent", is a violation by Russian authorities of international standards, said Gunnar M. Ekeløve-Slydal, Deputy Secretary General. The 1998 UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders clearly states the rights of human rights defenders to receive funding from abroad.
The report "Democracy and human rights at stake in Hungary", published by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) on 23 January
2013, describes how Viktor Orbán's government centralised power after taking office in 2010 by undermining the independence
of courts and putting media freedom under pressure.
The report was met with considerable criticism from Hungarian authorities, claiming that it overlooked important factors,
exaggerated problems, was biased against the current government, and neglected its concessions to international criticism
and Constitutional Court decisions. In particular, Hungary's ambassador to Norway, Mr Géza Jeszensky, issued a 4 ½ page critical
letter to the NHC outlining his government's response, while Ferenc Kumin, Deputy State Secretary for International Communication,
responded very negatively to the report in his blog.
In this Q&A, the NHC outlines its position on some of the main points raised in these discussions. In addition, some comments
are given to the extensive amendments of the Fundamental Law (the Constitution) of 11 March 2013. The amendments caused renewed
concerns that the government's project of centralisation is ongoing despite strong domestic and international criticism.
NHC's Sentral-Asia kontor:
Det sentralasiatiske landet Usbekistan regnes som et av verdens mest brutale regimer. Det er i dag et mer eller mindre lukket land der hverken journalister eller menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner har tilgang. Ivar Dale, leder for NHCs kontor i Sentral-Asia, har derfor ikke anledning til å åpent undersøke menneskerettighetsbrudd i Usbekistan.

I love that my spirituality is deepening daily. My connection to the Divine is one of the most cherished aspects of my life. I know how truly blessed I am.
There are times when a deep and close tie to the divine is a wee bit of a pain in the tuckus.
*I will pause and allow for the gasps of shock*
Yep, I said it. Here is the thing with my spirituality and tie to the Goddess. It is not masked in ceremony and ritual. It is an honest, day-to-day, moment to moment and down to earth communion. I have no issue with dropping to my knees in humble thanksgiving or standing my ground and insisting on some boundaries. They are one in the same for me. I don't look at the Goddess as unapproachable. Hell I go to Her with everything and when She pulls stuff I disagree with I will totally go in to bargaining mode. If you don't try you will never know, right?
One of my beliefs is that I share every aspect of my life with the Divine. She and I go through life together and because of this I do have boundaries in place. If you are very close to the Divine you will occasionally have visits from it. It can come in many formats and I am good with most of them. The one that irks me? When She makes herself at home in this body and puts me in the corner without notice. Or when she puts me in the closet and only lets me out when she has taken what she wants. Sound insane? Actually this experience is common in all religious beliefs. The closer your ties to the Divine the more startling they become.
Yesterday was one of those days. I had the joy of spending the day with Kin. At one point the Mother came in, put me off to the side and took over.
Let me stop here and give thanks for the fact that my love is just as experienced and tied to his spirituality as I am so he didn't go running downing the street while dialing 911.
Do I understand why what happened did? Yes, I do. Do I have any objections to it being done? Nope, I don't. Do I have huge issues with the way it occurred? Oh darn Skippy I do! That being said this evening there will be dedicated time to the Mother and a reminder of boundaries.
Will it do any good? Probably not, but at least I will feel like I did something.
Peace and blessings my loves….

Michigan poverty rate grew 66 percent in past decade, report says
For many in Michigan, the holiday season will not be filled with cheer as nearly 1.7 million people — one in five — live in poverty.
Michigan's poverty rate grew by 66 percent during the past decade, the fastest growth in the nation, according to the report "Recession Scars Linger — No Group Unscathed," released by the Michigan League for Public Policy.
In Oakland County, the current poverty rate was 11.2 percent and there's nearly a third more people living in poverty in the county than in 2007, the study showed.
The poverty level is defined at about $18,000 a year or less for a family of three and $23,000 a year or less for a family of four. More than 400,000 workers remain unemployed, and one in every four children is in poverty.
"Policymakers in Lansing and Washington need to remember that even as the economy turns the corner, many families are still struggling to meet basic needs,'' said Gilda Z. Jacobs, president and CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy.
The report found that, over the decade, the middle class shrank while poverty and economic insecurity grew.
For example, since the downturn of 2007:
n A larger share of households earn less than $35,000 while a smaller share earn more than $50,000;
n Males, traditionally buffered from harsh downturns, saw a 30 percent rise in poverty;
n Married-couple families experienced a 50 percent jump in poverty. Continued...
The report calls for more investment in skilled-job training and job supports and stronger child-care assistance for low-income working parents.
Additionally, the researchers suggest the Legislature should reverse its decision to reduce the traditional period of unemployment from 26 weeks to 20 weeks, and Congress must enact extended unemployment compensation benefits while unemployment remains high.
"We must invest in our human capital to connect people to jobs and we must offer support to those who have been slammed by this downturn,'' Jacobs said.

My husband and I are in a chapter 13. My husband has recently had a heart attack, I have 4 cracked teeth that need crowns and we are down to 1 car. Can anyone help?
Well the hospital has forms for people who have trouble paying medical bills (don't we all). You fill it out and see how qualified you are to get some help with the hospital expenses. I am in the process of doing that myself. I had to get MRI's CT scans...etc. Which is not cheap with no insurance. Do you guys have health insurance? As far as your teeth go, I know a lot of community colleges & regular colleges have dental clinics that are open to the public for less than half the price of going to the dentist. It's because the dental students do the work. But they have people observing them, so it's a really good deal you should look in to.

Some of you would be happy to put "The Twelve Days of Christmas" to bed for another 300-plus days. However, you may be singing a slightly different tune when you see the freebies that Apple is giving away.
Apple is currently offering its annual "12 Days of Christmas" app via iTunes. Download the app, and you'll score a free digital download each day through January 6, 2012. Now for the sadness: Engadget says that it's only being offered to customers in Europe. Boo!
This is actually the fourth year that the company is doing this. The freebie frenzy started yesterday, with Coldplay's live EP from the recent Apple-sponsored iTunes Festival in London. In addition to music and videos, Apple is expected to give away apps and books as well.
If you're a European customer, you may want to check in each day to do the download. According to Apple, each of the free items will only be available for 24 hours.
One is a subsidiary of DTS, with the other looking to gain traction via Indiegogo.

The one constant throughout the life of Tanner Ross is music, since being raised in New Jersey in a family environment heavily influenced by music new and old, to his current status as a passionate and driven DJ and producer who is also known as T-Rex or Prince Of E-funkdom.
In High School he found himself in numerous bands playing everything from funk to punk but it was after progressing to study synthesizers and production at Boston's renowned Berklee College Of Music that things fell into place. Captivated by underground electronic music, his own productions were soon being released on labels such as Dirty Bird, Freerange, Airdrop and Culprit and this naturally led him into DJing, where he met now regular collaborators Sergio Santos and Soul Clap, and his journey became clear.
Various music projects saw the fresh out of college Tanner set out on a musical mission across the States and beyond, his talents leading him to such meccas of dance music as London's Fabric and Berlin's Watergate. With his eyes wide open and finger on the pulse he was soon forming part of Boston supergroup SECT, alongside Soul Clap and Sergio Santos of course. Not only is the SECT album a near and anticipated prospect, Tanner's solo career is taking off with releases due in early 2011 on !K7 and No 19, and the biggest coup of them all, a solo album is in the works, to be released later this year on none other than Wolf + Lamb.
It's quite clear Tanner's music constant is set to continue much further…

I like to consider myself somewhat of a green thumb. I love to garden. There is something so magical about planting something then with a little love and nurture that plant will produce something that tastes better than anything you have ever bought.
My first attempt with growing a vegetable garden came when I was about 12. My dad and I went to Home Depot, bought some wood and soil and built a raised garden bed on the side of our house. We even put a sprinkler head in the middle. I relished with pride looking down at what we had done. The only problem was that it was on a shaded side of our house and the only thing that grew were weeds.
And so it began. My life as a farmer.

Highway Safety - Bicycle Safety
Bicyclists and Pedestrians Not in Traffic Crash Fact Sheet
The HSO's statistical analyst Gary Mower updated the fact sheet for pedestrians and bicyclists not in traffic. This includes information about pedestrians and bicyclists injured in parking lots and drive ways.
Click here or on the graph for the complete report.
In an average year in Utah, 6 bicyclists are killed and nearly 850 are involved in crashes with motor vehicles. Nearly 60% of bicyclists involved in a bicycle/motor vehicle crash are younger than 20 years of age and more than three-fourths (79%) are male. For the years 1996-2005, Utah had the 15th highest bicycle fatality rate in the nation.
Head injury is the most common serious injury from bicycle-motor vehicle crashes. Bicycle helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by as much as 85% (New England Journal of Medicine). A statewide helmet observational survey conducted in Utah in 2007 showed that 23% of elementary school-age bicyclists, 14% of secondary school-age bicyclists, and 58% of adult bicyclists wear bicycle helmets. Download the Bicycle Helmet Use in Utah, 2008 fact sheet and the Bicycle Helmet Use in Utah, 1994-2003 report.
Bicycle crashes cost victims and communities millions of dollars annually. In Utah in 2005, costs to treat bicyclists injured in crashes with motor vehicles at emergency departments and admitted to the hospital exceeded $6.8 million.
By obeying the rules of the road, nearly all bicycle-motor vehicle crashes are preventable.
UDOT, Zero Fatalities and the Highway Safety Office have launched a new education program about car and bike safety called Road Respect: Car & Bike Rules to Live By. For more information, visit the website roadrespect.utah.gov and find the program on Facebook.

TOKYO - A Japanese research institute says its deep-sea drilling probe has set a new world record for depth, reaching 7,740 metres below the sea surface.
The Chikyu, operated by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, was digging the seabed off Japan's northern coast to take fault samples and study last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
The agency said Friday that the probe's drilling pipe hit the fault zone at 6,883.5 metres undersea before reaching the target of 7,740 metres Wednesday. That's nearly 8 kilometres deep.
Maritime organizations say the U.S. vessel Glomar Challenger set the previous record of 7,049.5 metres below sea surface in the Mariana Trench in 1978.

But like most of us, Monty reserves a fond place in his memory for his first car. "It was a wrecked Mustang II," Monty says. "My dad bought it from an insurance sale. We repaired it so I could drive it."
"It was a no-reserve auction," Monty relates, "so I figured I could get it for a reasonable price. My wife and I flew up on Sunday because the car was scheduled to cross the block on Labor Day Monday. Unfortunately, another guy was bidding on it so I paid more than I thought it was worth."
For collectors and Mustang II enthusiasts, the King Cobra is the most coveted of all '74-'78 Mustang IIs. Built as the top-of-the-line model for '78 only, it was definitely the king of Mustang stripe kits with its huge Cobra hood decal and abundant pin striping. Additional dress-up included a front air dam, rear fender flares, Cobra II rear spoiler and reverse-facing hoodscoop, black-out grille, and 13-inch "lacy spoke" aluminum wheels with white-letter tires. The handling suspension (heavy-duty springs, adjustable shocks, and rear stabilizer bar), four-speed, power steering, and power brakes were standard. And even though it was the first Mustang to use the 5.0 engine designation (on the hoodscoop), the 139hp 302 with two-barrel carburetion was nothing like the High Output 5.0s that would come a few years later. The King Cobra option added just over $1,250 to the Mustang II's window sticker but only 4,960 were sold during the Mustang II's last year of production.
Since adding the 9,574-mile King Cobra to his collection, Monty has cleaned up the engine and undercarriage for Mustang Club of America and AACA shows. "The car is all-original," Monty says. "It just needed a little cleaning up."

Student loan debt nears $1 trillion: Is it the new subprime?
(MoneyWatch) Since the recession, Americans have vastly reduced the amount of debt they maintain, with one glaring exception: Student loans. Outstanding student loan debt now stands at $956 billion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit. Student debt increased by 4.6 percent in the third quarter from the previous quarter -- when annualized, that's almost a 20 percent rate of increase.
Additionally, more student loan borrowers are falling behind on their payments, with the percent of student loan balances 90+ days delinquent increasing to 11 percent this quarter. This rate is now higher than the "serious delinquency" rate for credit card debt for the first time.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "since the end of 2007, just before the financial crisis hit, total student debt has grown by more than 56%, adjusted for inflation, the new Fed data show. During that time, overall household debt--including mortgages, student loans, auto loans and credit cards--fell by 18%, to $11.31 trillion as of Sept. 30."
Part of the problem is that unlike most other types of consumer debt, like credit cards or mortgages, student loans are notoriously hard to discharge, even if the borrower has filed for bankruptcy. Naked Capitalism's Yves Smith notes that "student debt is senior to all other consumer debt; unlike, say, credit card balances, Social Security payments can be garnished to pay delinquencies. As a result, it has contributed to the fall in the homeownership rate, since many young people who want to buy a house can't because their level of student debt prevents them from getting a mortgage."
Another way student loans are vastly different than other consumer debt is that they require little in the way of underwriting. Most student loans are made through the federal government, which only vets borrowers in the most cursory of ways. In fact, the government doesn't seem to care whether you are a liberal arts major, with little chance to earn enough to keep pace with your loan payments or a software engineer, who should easily make enough money to carry the debt load. Smith likens the current student loan debt balloon to the recent subprime mortgage bubble, where lending standards are practically non-existent, as "anyone who can fog a mirror can get a loan."
About two-thirds of bachelor's degree recipients borrow money to attend college, either from the government or private lenders, according to the Department of Education. However, the total number of borrowers is most likely higher since the survey does not track borrowing from family members. For all borrowers, the average debt in 2011 was $23,300, with 10 percent owing more than $54,000 and 3 percent more than $100,000.
Just because the government is willing to lend more, doesn't mean that students should take the money. With numbers skyrocketing, most education experts advise that students limit total college borrowing to their estimated first year salaries. Here are answers to some important questions about student loans:
What are the different types of college loans? There are three ways to borrow for education: Student loans (Federal Stafford and Federal Perkins loans), parent loans (PLUS loans), and private student loans.
What is a Stafford loan? A Stafford federal loan is awarded to students who are enrolled at least half time in college, complete the (dreaded) Free Application for Federal Student Aid and demonstrate financial need. Two-thirds of these loans are awarded to students with family adjusted gross income of under $50,000. Stafford loans come in two flavors -- subsidized and unsubsidized. With a subsidized loan, the government pays the interest while students are in school; with an unsubsidized loan, the student pays the interest and can defer payment until after graduation. So subsidized Stafford loans are preferable to the unsubsidized variety. The term is 10 years, although other terms are available via consolidation.
What is the interest rate on Stafford loans? Dating back to 1992, Congress set the interest rate on federal student loans at fixed rates ranging from 6 percent for loans issued in the 1960s to 10 percent for loans issued between 1988 and 1992. By the end of 2006, student loan rates were at 6.8 percent. The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 phased in a reduction of the interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate students starting July 1, 2008. The phase on newly originated undergraduate loans was 6 percent for 2008-09; 5.6 percent for 2009-10; 4.5 percent for 2010-11; and 3.4 percent for 2011-12. The rate is scheduled to revert back to 6.8 percent for the 2012-2013 school year unless Congress agrees to keep it where it is.
What's the cost to the government of extending the 3.4 percent interest rate for another school year? It would run $5.8 billion, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. That's why many deficit-sensitive politicians are demanding that the money be "found" somewhere else in the federal budget.
How much can an undergraduate borrow through a Stafford loan?
What is a Perkins loan? A Perkins loan is a subsidized federal loan offered though colleges. It works like this: The U.S. Department of Education provides funding to the school; the school determines which students have the greatest need; and then the school combines federal funds with some of its own funds for Perkins loans for qualifying students. The government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in school and also during the 9-month grace periods. There are no origination or default fees, and the interest rate is 5 percent for the 10-year repayment period.
What is the Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)? PLUS loans allow parents to borrow money for uncovered education costs. Unlike with Stafford or Perkins loans, larger loan amounts are available up to the total cost of college, at a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent. Interest is charged from the date of the first disbursement until the loan is paid in full. Credit checks are conducted for the loans, and PLUS loans are the financial responsibility of the parents, not the student.
What is the difference between a PLUS loan and a private loan? Private lenders may offer more flexible repayment options and perhaps a lower interest rate. However, more private loan rates are variable, which means the cost of the loan can rise in the future.

Addicted to Email? Dr Tom has the cure
Tom Stafford, author of Mind Hacks: Tips and Tools for Using your Brain and psychologist, thinks that he might be addicted to email.
He tells a disturbing story (extra disturbing because I see myself in it):
I must hit the 'get mail' button at least a hundred times a day. Sometimes, if I don't have any new mail, I hit it again immediately, just to check. I interrupt my work to check my mail even when I know that I'm not going to find anything interesting and that I should just concentrate on what I am supposed to be doing. When I come back to my office it's the first thing I do. If I'm prevented from checking my mail for more than a few hours I get a little jumpy and remain that way until I have.
He thinks that the answer is to be found in "operant conditioning", one of the cardinal principles of behaviourist psychology:
This means the mechanisms by which behaviour is shaped by its consequences; how what we do depends on the rewards and punishments of what we did last time. This topic is the heart of behaviourism, that school of thought which dominated psychology for most of the last century.
One solution is to break the connection between action and reward. Like Glen Stansberry and Merlin Mann he recommends reducing the frequency of mail checks. Hard-core fans of the cold turkey school will check mail only twice a day. I would rather cut my heart out with a teaspoon, but it might work for you. Or close Mail.app altogether for six or eight hours. Urrggh.
Other possibilities, he suggests, are weakening the stimulus-action association (hide the Check Mail button), shifting the cost-benefit ratio (electric shocks administered by a mail check?) and rewarding alternative behaviour.
Whatever you might think about Behaviourism, it's interesting reading, as is the link he provides to an article published eighteen months ago in the New York Times on designing computer interfaces that aid rather than diminish attention.

My mid-year resolution is to get better at upholstery..I love painting furniture, but I also love playing with different fabrics, and patterns..that's the reason I have started two different upholstery projects at the same time..
The other reason, it is summer now in Arizona, and upholstery is something I can do in the comfort of my home..and hopefully by the time the summer ends I will have learned a lot , practiced even more, and I will become better..
First chair is a thrift store find, you can read all about it here:
It has a gorgeous shape, and some good bones..So far, after a lot of tears, blood, sweat and a few blisters, I have managed to strip the chair down to the bones, so I can start clean..
The chair appears to have been reupholstered at a point in time, but they haven't bother covering the staples with piping or anything decorative..and I am talking few hundreds of staples..
after the newer upholstery was off, I was challenged by the old staples, that were buried deep into the wood..
…and a big old, nasty pile of stuff..
I have already chosen the fabric, but I'm still waiting on my new sewing machine that I have ordered…YEY!! so excited! then, I can finish the piping..
Second project is a beautiful old, parlor chair..
..this one, I think it had a trillion staples and a tone of glue..but, it is getting there, and is ready to get a new face lift..It needs some repair, and a paint job, but it will be beautiful..
For now, I have a hard time deciding on the colors..and the fabric..any suggestions are appreciated..
Hopefully all will go according to plan, and I will not have any more unpleasant surprises…

Father's Day Tree
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 16 June 2012 08:56
It's been a while since I've posted about a holiday tree. Bringing a new baby into the world is a rather time consuming process and leaves one feeling a little behind {smile}.
Today... we're back! Catch up here:
How the trees began...{Valentine's Day Tree}
For Father's Day we decided to attach items that "daddy loves." My son said, "Daddy likes apples!" So we added some fabric apples from their storefront toy collection. My daughter said, "Daddy loves chocolate and coffee!" We tied some mini candy bars to the tree and attached some coffee.
My son wanted to use the tools from his toy set. We attached hammers, saws, screwdrivers and more. My husband is more 'professorial' than he is 'handyman' but I wanted my kids to feel as though they were a big part of this tree. Therefore, I allowed my son to use the tools because it made him so happy!
We also made a few coffee mug cutouts. I printed the mugs and we glued some coffee grinds and beans onto the mugs. I reminded the kids that Daddy loves to read so we cut a few newspaper shapes from an old newspaper and placed those around the tree.The kids also decorated paper chains and used two of Daddy's favorite colors when they painted (blue and green).
As the topper I used three small packs of coffee along with gift cards.
All done!
The most challenging thing about this tree is keeping the kids away from the chocolate!
Costs: I spent a few dollars on the mini chocolate bars ($6) and a few cents on the printing (coffee mug cutouts). I bought the coffee from a local Safeway ($1.25 each). The other decorations were already in our possession. If you attach gift cards you'll need to purchase those, of course. Otherwise, this tree is a very cost effective way to celebrate and my kids had a blast.
Next up: We'll create a tree for Independence Day (coming soon)

I just listened to President Obama's speach/rant on the fiscal cliff negotiations. In it was a distillation of all the characteristics he has that have completely lost any respect he may have deserved. He is a shallow, selfish, petty man who could not lead anyone out of a wet paper bag. Never in his presidency has he provided leadership or shown any fortitude. As president he is supposed to lead and take responsibility but for 4+ years he has failed and in his own words "lead from behind". He let Pelosi & Reid take charge of the healthcare debate. He takes credit for things he hasn't earned and cheapens his office. Even in this last minute work to avoid the cliff he offers nothing but cutting comments and petty actions. He added nothing took no action from mid November til he came back from Hawii at the last minute. Yet still he did nothing but call press conferences appear on 60 minutes. What does he offer nothing but cheap shots. I am tired of his posing and supercillious attitude. Grow up BHO and fill the part you campaigned for.
C'mon Winston, when he was president of that company he was a great leader......wait When he was CEO of.....wait When he started.....hmmmm When he worked for..... Well he does read a prepared speech off the TelePrompTer like a champ. This whole fiscal cliff is nonsense, he will just print more money till the dollar is roughly equal to the peso.
nah, churches have bibles and those advocate slavery and death and genocide which is a bit much for even for me. i mean, i am racist and sexist and awful, but not a fucking lunatic.
Why should he do anything? The GOP put all of their eggs in one basket and that was beating Obama for this past election. That's the only reason they agreed to push this entire ordeal to January 1st. Now it's backfired on them. All Obama has to do is nothing and voila! Tax cuts for the rich are gone! His next move is to propose tax cuts for the middle class and I'm sure the GOP will figure out a way to fight that. Frankly, I will be pissed if they cut Medicare and Social Security. They're about to have to increase medicare costs, so any cuts will be temporary.
Yeah let's teach those rich successful people a lesson! They are lucky and don't deserve it, they should work hard, take risks and give the majority of it away to the govt....Medicare, Social security, ObamaCare, all inclusive Govt care, no guns...lets all go out and burn some flags, maybe protest some soldiers funerals while we are at it.....hell yeah, rock on!!!!
Maybe Red but I'm not the president. He is the one with the responsibility and duty that he avoids. You are right about one other thing; he acts more like a ranter on a blog than a president!
From your narrow point of view. Others disagree. The GOP is the obstructionists and have been since 2010. No one is fooled.

HBO Adds Another Star To Its Roster As Kathryn Bigelow Signs On To Direct the Pilot For THE MIRACULOUS YEAR
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: February 14th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Since the dawn of the new year, it's been hard to keep up with all the film talent HBO was luring to the channel for various projects. Michael Mann is directing a pilot for Luck from Deadwood creator David Milch. Charlize Theron and David Fincher are teaming for the serial killer series Mind Hunter. Russell Crowe and Maria Bello are set to star in Emergency Sex from Slumdog Millionaire scripter Simon Beaufoy. Zooey Deschanel will headline a series adaptation of I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie. And most recently HBO acquired the Todd Haynes miniseries adaptation of Mildred Pierce with none other than Kate Winslet attached to star. Plus miniseries The Pacific, which counts Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks among its producers, will begin a ten-week run on March 14th and the Martin Scorsese-directed pilot for Boardwalk Empire starring Steve Buscemi is set to air later in the year.
But they're not done just yet. The Hollywood Reporter announced that recent Oscar-nominee (and soon-to-be Oscar-winner) Kathryn Bigelow will direct the pilot for The Miraculous Year from a screenplay by John Logan. Details after the break.

Talmage Powell (also wrote as Robert Hart Davis, Robert Henry, Milton T. Lamb, Milton Land, Jack McCready, Anne Talmage; ghosted a number of Ellery Queen novels ). Born in Henderson, North Carolina, 1920. Died in Asheville, North Carolina, 2000.
Talmage Powell was a prolific crime writer who wrote nearly 500 short stories, as well as 20 novels, five of which feature private detective Ed Rivers.
Powell sold his first short story to the pulps in 1943. He wrote for a variety of genres–detective, hero, weird menace, western, and western romance. Some of the many pulps he wrote for included Dime Detective, The Shadow, Dime Mystery, Fifteen Western Tales, and Ranch Romances. He wrote more than 200 stories for the pulps throughout the 1940s and early 1950s. When the pulps died out in the early 50s, Powell wrote more than 300 stories for top-flight crime digests such as Manhunt, Guilty, Trapped, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
In 1959, Powell wrote The Killer Is Mine, his first novel featuring Tampa-based private detective Ed Rivers. Rivers is in his early forties, is 6 feet tall, and weighs 190 pounds. As for his face, he admits he doesn't have the prettiest puss in the business:
"Women either get a charge from the face or want to run from it. Men fear it or trust it to the hilt."
Rivers carries a .38, as well as a knife in a sheath at the nape of his neck. He has a friend and ally in the police department named Steve Ivey. Ed is tough but human, and starting with the third novel, With A Madman Behind Me (1961), Rivers begins taking on some of the knightly traits of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. In that story, Rivers tracks down the killer of a strangled girl and breaks up a porno ring. In Start Screaming Murder (1962), Rivers befriends midget singer Tina La Flor, and investigates the murder of a brute named Bucks Jordan. Corpus Delectable (1964) takes place during the annual Gasparilla Festival–Tampa's version of the Mardi Gras. Throughout the series, Powell does an excellent job evoking the seedy atmosphere of slum-like areas in Tampa.
Powell wrote four books for the long-running Ellery Queen series: Murder With A Past (1963), Beware the Young Stranger(1965), Where Is Bianca? (1966), and Who Spies, Who Kills? (1967). He wrote novelizations for tv's Mission: Impossible, as well, and nearly ten stand-alone novels.
