Step 2: Choose "Apple TV 3 Dolby Digital Pass-through (*.m4v)" as output format

I have never heard of a soccer score that high before
Me, since I'm underage AND I have a soccer game, no. But I was wondering if anyone else was, since I live in the Louisville area, and right now we are all in a Derby mode. So if anyone's coming, I might not be able to see anyone, but if anyone wants to meet up there, you can plan it here.
In fact, if it has to do with Derby, you can talk about it here! Just stay on topic.
Well, speaking of Derby,
my soccer team is playing in Derby Cup, a soccer tournament. We are actually doing really good, we won both of our games today (6-0, 14-0). But they were really easy, and we're supposed to get challenged more tommorrow.
I have never heard of a soccer score that high before

Catasys, Inc. Announces One-for-Ten Reverse Stock Split
Catasys, Inc. Announces One-for-Ten Reverse Stock Split
Catasys, Inc. (OTCQB: CATS), provider of proprietary health management services to health insurers and employers, today announced a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 for stockholders of record April 19, 2013. The stock split is effective today and the shares will trade on a post-split basis under the temporary symbol "CATSD" with a "D" added for 20 trading days to signify that the reverse stock split has occurred. The reverse stock split, which was unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors, was previously approved by written consent by the majority of its stockholders.
As of May 3rd there were 142,739,844 shares of Catasys common stock issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10, the number of shares issued and outstanding will be reduced to approximately 14,273,984.
The reverse stock split was executed as part of the Company's program to improve its capital markets appeal to investors and pursue its objective to 'up list' from the bulletin board to a national exchange. The timing for this event is now supported by Catasys' strong expectation that it will continue to grow (a) organically (as existing insurers continue to expand into new territories and/or increase the number of enrolled members into Catasys' OnTrak™ program) and (b) by signing new insurers. In addition to the recently signed national insurer, the Company currently has a sales pipeline of 13 million lives. Management's goal is to become cash flow positive by the end of this year.
Catasys' OnTrak program – contracted with a growing number of health insurers – was designed to improve member health and at the same time lower costs to the insurer by utilizing patient centric treatment that integrates evidence based medical and psychosocial interventions along with care coaching in a 52 week outpatient program. OnTrak is currently improving member health and is demonstrating with several health insurers impressive results – as evidenced by reduced inpatient and emergency department utilization driving a reduction in total health care costs of more than 50% for enrolled members.
Catasys' transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, will send a letter of transmittal relating to the reverse stock split to stockholders of record of Catasys common stock as of the date of the reverse stock split. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders will receive cash. The CUSIP number for the new Catasys common stock outstanding after the reverse stock split is 149049405. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company can be reached at (800) 937-5449 or email@example.com.

"Product exactly what I ordered. Great value and a speedy delivery. Good communicater and will have no issues buying from you again. Thanks"
Buyer: IanMorgan87 | 07/09/13
Seller Response: If you are unhappy with your order then you should contact me and I can resolve any issue BEFORE leaving Negative and UNTRUE feedback.The item was NEW and I believe it was also SEALED and an unsealed item does not mean it is used at all. However, this item came from a supplier that sources unsold stock from Film companies and Retailers and occasionally substandard items can slip through which is probably what has happened here. I am happy to resolve it, if you contact me in correct way.. Regards Keith 07/09/13
Buyer: Shipers85 | 07/09/13
"arrived very quickly, well done"
Buyer: crimper | 04/09/13
"Quick answers and friendly seller."
Buyer: Jeff59 | 29/08/13
"Order cancelled and refunded with no explanation whatsoever. Not good enough !!"
Seller Response: Explanation was clearly stated along with the refund message!! Simply the item had sold elsewhere before you placed your order and I was unable to re-order. Therefore the only POSITIVE thing to do was to refund your account. I understand your disappointment but please reserve NEGATIVE feedback for those sellers that deserve it and dont respond to messages and dont refund where necessary. 23/08/13
Buyer: kjh653 | 23/08/13

Obama victory re-energizes HIEs
InformationWeek, November 30, 2012
In the wake of President Obama's reelection and a favorable Supreme Court ruling, a growing sense of certainty about healthcare reform is helping to drive the health information exchange market, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan. In addition, the report notes, the stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements and market changes are increasing demand for HIEs. Entitled "U.S. Health Information Exchange Market: A Comprehensive Guide to Market Dynamics, Technology Vendors and Future Trends," the research and consulting firm's report predicts that healthcare providers "will significantly ratchet up their participation in HIE over the next 18 to 24 months."

Italian Lasagna Recipe. This old fashioned classic three cheese lasagna is creamy topped with sour cream.
I concocted this when I couldn't find that restaurant taste and quality from other recipes that I tried. My son added the sour cream to my original recipe over 30 years ago and we have been eating it that way ever since.
Add toasted butter and garlic bread for an amazing meal!
1 (8 oz.) box lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. lean chuck ground beef
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup Ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup ground Romano Cheese
3 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated
Cook noodles according to directions on box until tender. While noodles are cooking, place into a saucepan or large skillet, olive oil, ground beef, bell pepper, and onion. Saute on medium heat until all pink color is gone from beef.
Add tomatoes, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and oregano to pan. Cover pan and simmer on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until thickened to the consistency of spaghetti sauce. Takes about 15 minutes.
While sauce is cooking, mix sour cream and Ricotta cheese in a bowl and set aside.
When noodles and sauce are ready, assemble lasagna in a 9" x 13" baking pan. Layer 1/3 of cooked noodles in bottom of pan. Next layer 1/2 sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 of parsley. Next spread on 1/2 of the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the Romano cheese.
Add another layer as above. Top last layer with last 1/3 of noodles. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese over all. Bake in a preheated 350F. oven for 25-30 minutes, just until cheeses are melted and starts to brown slightly.
Let cool a few minutes before serving. The cheeses get very hot!
Serve with a tossed salad and toasted garlic bread for a delicious, complete meal.

Surname Summary Data for GUNDY
Frequency Comparisons | ||||
Total | Rank | Frequency % | Per million people | |
Great Britain | ||||
United Kingdom (current) | 155 | 19098 | less than 0.001 | 3 |
United Kingdom (1881 census) | 127 | 17478 | less than 0.001 | 4 |
Change since 1881 | +28 | -1620 | 0 | -1 |
Other Countries | ||||
United States | 1152 | 21230 | less than 0.001 | 4 |
Australia | 33 | 35160 | less than 0.001 | 2 |
All of these are approximate figures, and the current figures especially so. The 1881 census figures are correct for what was recorded on the census, but we don't really know how accurate it was. At least, though the 1881 figures won't change, as it's a snapshot of a point in time. The current figures, by contrast, are variable according to births, deaths, migration and marriages, so the values shown here are only a best approximation to whatever was the case when the underlying data was collated and will not be the same as whatever the values are right now. 'N/A' indicates that we don't have data for this name in that country or time (usually because it's quite uncommon there and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one there with that name at all! For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table! It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the UK as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames. |

Food fight
Who knew ordering a steak dinner could be so political?
The American food industry is undergoing some major policy changes, challenging ranchers and farmers across the West. Oregon cattle ranchers are struggling to deal with the recession, increasingly health-conscious consumers, and environmental concerns about land use . Fears over food safety have led to a push toward sanitization of American agriculture, leading to the destruction of ponds and acres of crops in the process. Consumers are losing faith in food manufacturers due to serious contamination outbreaks with spinach, beef and peanut butter, to name a few.
It's been hard to figure out exactly where the Obama administration stands in all of this, despite a recent press release regarding its commitment to upgrading the U.S. Food Safety System. On Monday the administration announced it would seek to ban the use of many antibiotics in healthy farm animals to increase growth, a practice linked to treatment-immune bacteria in humans—a measure supported by the American Medical Association but not the farm industry. The FDA also recently passed a new public health regulation to improve egg safety and reduce salmonella illnesses.
However, the appointment of Michael Taylor as senior adviser to the FDA commissioner has caused a hullabaloo over the failure to mention Taylor's ties to agricultural industry giant Monsanto, and what industry-insider status might mean for someone in charge of regulating food safety.

NW Renewables: Infrastructure needed
By Sharon Fisher, NewWest.Net Guest Writer, 7-14-09
The Northwest—Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana—is arguably the riches region of the United States for renewable energy resources such as geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar, said Paul Manson, president of Seabreeze Power Corp., speaking at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region conference today (with a windmill pin on his lapel).
There are currently 3000 megawatts of renewable energy generation in the Northwest, powering 700,000 homes and reducing carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 950,000 cars, said Suzanne Leta Liou, Senior Policy Advocate for the Renewable Northwest Project, a nonprofit based in Portland, Ore. Most of Montana has excellent wind potential, Leta Liou said, as does the Oregon-Washington border on the eastern side (to which anyone who's driven through Pendleton could attest).
Solar has its best potential in extreme southwest Idaho and extreme southeast Oregon, while the geothermal potential is high in Idaho, southern Oregon, and some areas of Montana, Leta Liou said.

Species viability on national forests preserved!
Yet another attempt by the Bush Administration to change federal regulations in order to accelerate logging on the national forests has apparently gone down in flames. On the last day of June a federal judge in Oakland overturned regulations the Bush Administration crafted in order to gut a provision of the National Forest Management Act. That provision requires that the Forest Service protect fish and wildlife on the national forests. The Bush Administration sought to maintain habitat but not to monitor whether that habitat was effectively protecting fish and wildlife.
Regulations implementing the "viability provision" of the 1976 Act have been used by forest activists to stop numerous timber sales and other commercial developments in national forests around the country. It is unlikely that the Obama Administration will appeal the district court ruling.
The lawsuit was led by Citizens for Better Forestry – a small forest protection organization based in the village of Peanut in Trinity County, California. Co-plaintiffs include the Environmental Protection Information Center, Center for Biological Diversity, Wild West Institute, Gifford Pinchot Task Force, Idaho Sporting Congress, Friends of the Clearwater, Utah Environmental Congress, Cascadia Wildlands Project, Klamath Siskiyou Wildlands Center, Wild South, the Lands Council, Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics, Oregon Wild and WildEarth Guardians. The environmental groups were represented by attorney Pete Frost of the Western Environmental Law Center.
The decision marks the third time a federal court has rejected revisions of the species viability regulations over the past decade. While the Bush Administration gets points for trying hard, the judge admonished government lawyers for repeating the same arguments that were twice rejected previously by the courts. A separate lawsuit by Defenders of Wildlife, Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society, and Vermont Natural Resources Council challenging the same rule was consolidated with the case.
The list of plaintiffs in this case tells a story in itself. All plaintiffs are grassroots forest activist organizations. In the past national and grassroots environmental groups coordinated forest strategy and often collaborated on national-impact lawsuits of this type. But that collaboration waned during the Clinton Administration when most large national environmental groups went along with Clinton Administration rule changes which grassroots forest protection groups believed weakened protection for fish and wildlife on the national forests. These days national and grassroots forest protection organizations rarely collaborate – a development this blogger believes has weakened the public forest protection movement.
Pre-season politics
"No matter how Diane Denish spins it, isn't it still the same game?"
That's the question—posed in a familiar, cynical tone—that kicked-off New Mexico's election season this week. Unfortunately for New Mexicans who hadn't quite recovered from last year's ad wars, the ominous narrators of political advertising are already back to haunt the Land of Enchantment—a whopping 16 months before the 2010 elections.
The ad targeting current Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, a front-runner for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, came from the New Mexico GOP and took aim at what is expected to be the top issue in the campaign to replace scandal plagued Gov. Bill Richardson: ethics.
Also getting an early start in New Mexico is the race between incumbent Democrat Harry Teague and Republican Steve Pearce for the second district U.S. House seat in southern New Mexico. Writing for New West, Heath Haussamen speculates that the campaign "is certain to be one of the most hotly contested and high-profile House races in the nation next year."
Pearce announced his candidacy early last week, and quickly took aim at Teague for his support of the cap-and-trade bill, among other "reckless" policies.
Still stuck in traffic
Los Angeles commuters don't so much drive to work as creep—slowly, very slowly. So slowly, in fact, that each L.A. driver wasted an average 70 hours stuck in traffic in 2007, which was actually a slight improvement over the 72 hours they squandered in 2006, according to a study released last week by the Texas Transportation Institute.
Despite a lot of huffing and puffing by politicians proclaiming their good intentions to fight global warming, their plans to reduce our dependence on cars are coming up short. A handful of recent reports and analyses reveal Western cities are still plagued by congestion and states' transportation spending plans won't do much to alleviate it.
The (sort of) good news from the Texas Transportation Institute is that traffic jams eased up ever so slightly on commuters in many of the West's urban centers, including San Francisco, Phoenix, Portland and Denver, between 2006 and 2007.
But the report's co-author, David Schrank, warned that these findings aren't cause for celebration. "No one should expect to be driving the speed limit on their way to work because of this," he told the Portland Oregonian.

Brewer's budget battle
A week into the 2010 fiscal year in Arizona, the state's budget is $2.1 billion in the red, worrying Tucson officials and others about committing money and jobs. In the past six months since Republican Secretary of State Jan Brewer stepped up to fill former Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano's post, the state has been embroiled in what the LA Times calls the "nastiest fiscal fight in Arizona history."
It has been a surprisingly vicious conflict, given that the state legislature is predominately Republican. After years of going head-to-head with Napolitano, lawmakers were anticipating an easier relationship with Brewer, who took over after Napolitano was called to head Obama's Department of Homeland Security. Yet Brewer hasn't toed the party line —instead, she's supported tax increases and defended spending on health care and public safety. And she has refused to budge, resulting in months of battling over education allocations, spending cuts to rein in the rampant state deficit and Brewer's big issue: increasing the state sales tax (to be voted on in a November election) which would raise around $1 billion to offset cuts to social programs.
Recent highlights include Brewer suing the Legislature for allegedly violating the state constitution, Senate President Bob Burns walking out on a meeting and later harshly criticizing the governor, and Brewer vetoing every budget proposal that cut money for state services.
Last Wednesday lawmakers ended the fourth-longest legislative session in modern times by approving a budget in the early hours of the 2010 fiscal year that included $600 million in cuts but not Brewer's proposed sales-tax hike.
Brewer line-vetoed major parts of the budget, particularly education spending which she viewed as insufficient, and called the legislature back for a special session this week. On Monday state lawmakers finally approved the education funding, restoring $220 million in cuts.
Read More ...An old idea reborn
Sometimes old ideas become new ideas.
On July 9, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter announced plans to seek federal funding to study a high-speed rail corridor from Denver south through New Mexico to El Paso, Texas.
Take out the "high-speed" part of it, and you've got the dream of Gen. William Jackson Palmer in 1870 -- to go south from Denver to the Rio Grande valley (thus the name of his Denver & Rio Grande Railroad) to El Paso, where it would connect with Mexican lines.
Palmer's railroad (absorbed by the Union Pacific in 1996) did reach the Rio Grande, but never went south of Santa Fe. His preferred route, over Raton Pass, was blocked because the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad got there first. And the 1879 silver bonanza of Leadville turned Palmer's attention to a different direction.
So the line became the Denver & Rio Grande Western, and evolved into an east-west link rather than the original north-south route.
About 60 years ago, in an introduction to a book called Cities of the West, Carey McWilliams observed that even though the mountain ranges of the West trend north-south, the major transportation corridors oppose this geography by running east-west.
In the view of McWilliams (who grew up on a ranch near Steamboat Springs, Colo., and went on to edit the Nation magazine after a productive literary career in California), the West's transportation network was aligned to serve national needs, rather than regional needs. The railroads that got the land grants -- that is, the government support of the era -- were east-west lines.
In the formative years of the American West during and after the Civil War, the national government wanted the West Coast tied to the Midwest. Some north-south corridors that tied Helena to Phoenix might have encouraged a regional economy and identity -- and after four years of bloody civil war, another regional culture may have been the last thing the United States wanted or needed.
The pattern persists to this day. It's easier to catch a plane from Denver to Philadelphia or Los Angeles than it is to fly to Boise or Helena.
Or take a look at a modern Amtrak map, which reflects certain contemporary national transportation priorities. It shows four east-west corridors. As for north-south routes, there's one along the West Coast, and another from Minneapolis through Chicago to New Orleans. But there's nothing in between, out where we live.
So if Colorado Gov. Ritter and his colleagues, Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Rick Perry of Texas, manage to get federal support for a north-south corridor in the West, they'll accomplish something new -- or something as old as Gen. Palmer's plan of 1870.
Will money talk?
It's a sweet-voiced, normal-looking middle-aged woman who looks sincerely at the camera and tells us that she's one of millions of Californians who want to pay taxes on marijuana, legalizing her drug of choice and helping to refill the state's empty coffers (the taxes could fund 20,000 teacher salaries, she says). This is an ad from the Marijuana Policy Project, founded in 1996 to remove criminal penalties for marijuana use.
Even though Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (who's admitted to inhaling) suggested in April that it's time for a debate on the legalization and taxation of marijuana, and even though there's a pro-pot bill in the California legislature (AB 390, which would tax and regulate the drug), many TV stations have refused to run the 30-second ad, either ignoring requests for rate cards or rejecting it on the basis of "standards" or "comfort" level.
A Field Research Corporation poll in April revealed that 56 percent of Californians favor legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
To bolster its case further, the Marijuana Policy Project offers these arguments:
In 2007, more than 74,000 Californians were arrested on marijuana charges – 80% for simple possession, not sale or manufacture. During the same year, more than 66,000 violent crimes went unsolved.
Marijuana is California's top cash crop but this industry goes untaxed while Sacramento raises taxes on middle-class families and is making deep cuts to police, schools, and hospitals.
Prohibition creates an unregulated, criminal market for marijuana where drug dealers routinely sell to kids. Regulating marijuana will take marijuana out of the hands of criminals and put it where it belongs: in a well regulated, licensed market only available to adults.
The lady in the ad says marijuana is "a substance safer than alcohol." Alcohol abuse kills 75,000 Americans annually. Cigarette smoking accounts for more than 400,000
deaths each year. But recent research on the health impacts of smoking marijuana shows mixed results. While a study by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse, released in 2006, found no connection between marijuana smoking and cancer, a 2007 British study revealed that one ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC,
produced temporary psychotic symptoms in people, including
hallucinations and paranoid delusions.
We've legalized alcohol and cigarettes. In the name of saving an economy, we now may legalize pot -- allowing people to make their own decisions about a substance that has not yet been shown to cause any deaths.
Duwamish not dead
Next week, Cecile Hansen, a direct descendant of Seattle's namesake Chief Sealth, will travel from one Washington to another.
Hansen, the chairwoman of the Duwamish tribe, has been invited to testify in D.C. at an upcoming hearing on H.R. 2678, a bill introduced in the House that would grant the Western Washington tribe the federal recognition it has been fighting for since, well, forever.
The tribe, comprised of nearly 600 members currently, was granted fishing and reservation rights way back in 1855, when Chief Sealth signed the Treaty of Point Elliott. Unfortunately, the U.S. government never saw fit to actually follow through with any of the promises it made.
Federal recognition would provide the tribe with government aid, and possibly restore their fishing rights and allow them to open a casino. This has caused alarm among other Northwest tribes, who are worried that recognizing the Duwamish would drain limited federal resources.
Specifically, the Muckleshoot have argued that Duwamish federal recognition would encroach upon their own fishing rights. Hansen believes the Muckleshoot are worried that the Duwamish could operate a casino in Seattle, diverting business from the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn.
The Muckleshoot went so far as to seek court intervention in the Duwamish's other fight for federal recognition. In addition to the House bill, the Duwamish are involved in an expensive and lengthy legal battle to overturn the Bush administration's declaration that the tribe doesn't really exist.

Confetti salad of kale and rhubarb
Prep time: 1 hour, plus at least 3 hours for pickles to sit
Cook time: 15 minutes (for walnuts)
Serves 6
This salad is gorgeous, but it also makes you feel like a superhero with all of its vitamins. Lacinato kale a dark- green variety often called dinosaur kale provides the best color contrast for the ruby bits of rhubarb and golden batons of cheese.
The liquid from the pickled rhubarb helps make the vinaigrette. Prepare the rhubarb at least three hours before serving.
From "Rhubarb Renaissance" by Kim Ode (Minnesota Historical Society Press, $16.95, 120 pages).
Pickled rhubarb:
1 cup rhubarb, cut in 1/4-inch pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds Salad:
1 bunch (12 to 15 leaves) lacinato kale
3 tablespoons pickling liquid from rhubarb
3 tablespoons walnut oil
Hefty pinch salt
Several grinds pepper
4 ounces aged Gouda, cut in fat matchsticks (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs, preferably sourdough
1/2 cup candied walnuts (see below), roughly chopped
To make pickled rhubarb: Place rhubarb in a shallow heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and mustard seeds, and bring to a boil; cook until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over the rhubarb and let sit at room temperature for at least 3 hours before using. The pickles' flavor improves if refrigerated overnight. Any leftover pickling liquid can be refrigerated for future use.
To make salad: Remove center rib from kale leaves, stack several pieces, then slice crosswise into a fine julienne. You should end up with about 5 cups. Rinse kale and pat dry between paper towels or use a salad spinner.
Whisk together pickling liquid and walnut oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss kale with dressing, then gently fold in the cheese and drained rhubarb. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the kale softens a bit; it can chill for up to 3 hours.
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add bread crumbs, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring, until crumbs are golden and crisp. Set aside.
Before serving, toss salad again, add bread crumbs and walnuts, and toss once more.
To make candied walnuts: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside. Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup walnut halves and continue to stir for about 5 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken. Pour out onto parchment paper, separating walnuts with a fork. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.

In a Chinese-style hot pot, combine the sake, coconut milk, sausage, ginger, garlic, lemon grass, sriracha, lime leaves, and chilies, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat, and simmer for 5 minutes for the flavors to blend.
Add the clams and return to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook until the clams open, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the basil and stir well. Serve immediately.

I've been on t-mobile pay as you go since 2007 (although I've just ordered a new contract phone from them) and I have been using their price package known as 'text appeal' since the start. From memory t-mobile has something like 3 pay as you go packages - one is for cheaper texts, one for cheaper phone calls and one is mates rates. I chose 'text appeal' (the cheaper text option) as I very rarely call anyone, but do quite alot of texting. So what does text appeal get you?

How to Buy Homes Without Borrowing From the Bank
August 15, 2013 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under Dr. Wright Live (Events), Featured Articles, Front Page
Don Nay has purchased more than 3,300 residential properties during the past 30 years and has never borrowed money from a bank to purchase a home. Now he wants to teach other people in Southern California how to buy homes the same way he did.
"Banks are financial institutions, not people," explains Nay. "They have a cookie-cutter approach to making and servicing home loans in Southern California that is without concern for the person responsible for repaying that loan. I figured it was time to share what I've learned about the home buying process so that it might just help a few folks to buy a home or avoid foreclosure. It might help wake the banks up, too."
I live in San Bernardino County and this county has been hit the hardest with foreclosures. Real estate has also been tough in Riverside County. There was an increase in foreclosures by 34% in the first part of 2013. I meet a lot of agents who say now is the time to get back into the market. I know people HAVE to be educated. The market is different. Even if you have experience, it's best to learn what is working now and why. Don recommends a Purchase Money Mortgage and he can teach you how to use it. Read more

Merkel, Sarkozy to Europe: shelve your sovereignty, save the euro
The plan put forth from the German and French leaders to save the euro amounts to a call for European states to give up full control over their own spending.
(Page 2 of 2)
To be sure, people have gotten used to the euro and panic about the economic situation is rife. Greece and Italy now have appointed technocratic prime ministers who are largely doing Brussels' bidding on financial matters, and no pitchforks or burning hayricks have been spotted (though major unions in both countries are threatening national strikes over austerity measures).

The chance for change
So it's possible that treaty changes will be able to go through in this environment – though it's hard to see that happening without an extended period of debate, revision and in many cases public referendums. Individual states are still, well, states, with different political cultures and different interests. Some politicians in the UK, not a member of the eurozone but part of the 27 member European Union, have already signaled unease over treaty changes that could effect the EU as a whole and said they'll insist on a public referendum.
This all signals a drawn-out process. But the letter Merkel and Sarkozy (being called "Merkozy" now by many wags in the financial press) released today says "steps need to be taken now without further delay." Investors signaled they weren't anticipating fast action today, with Europe's major stock indices edging lower.
"We need more binding and more ambitious rules and commitments for the Euro area Member States. They should reflect that sharing a single currency means sharing responsibility for the Euro area as a whole," they continue. "The main building blocks of the new Stability and Growth Union are: A strengthened institutional architecture. Euro area governance needs to be substantially reinforced."
They go on to suggest that fiscal discipline should be maintained by "enforcement," a role for the European Court of Justice in "verification" that legislation on balanced budgets and other matters have passed, and rules that would lead to "automatic consequences" if a eurozone member's deficit grows to more than 3 percent of GDP. They're also calling for greater integration of national tax, labor, and financial market policies.
Where does Europe go from here?
We'll certainly know a lot more after tomorrow. A shrinking of the eurozone in the coming year remains a possibility. Valery Giscard d'Estaing signaled that in an interview with Reuters today. The former French president, who championed Greece's entry to the eurozone in 2000 said: "Greece could stay in the eurozone but it is very difficult to achieve economic recovery with a strong currency.... Is it better to use a national currency for a period, or have the safety of a strong currency? It is Greece's choice."
What he's talking about is the ability of a nation that controls it's own currency to try to inflate its way out of a crisis like this by printing money, something that makes exports and tourism more competitive and amounts to a haircut on existing debt. Greece's international creditors wouldn't like that at all. But the country's citizens are none too happy with the current situation.
As for reworking existing treaties? Mr. Giscard, the great proponent of European integration, thinks that's a bad idea: "Reforming treaties that have to be modified by unanimous vote is impossible. Choosing the path of treaty revision with 27 (EU members) would make the crisis last and would give the impression that it is intractable."

It's hard to believe, but the Japanese government finally has a solution for the ongoing mess at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant… It's called denial. Prime Minister Abe's government is pushing through an official secrets act that offer draconian penalties for revealing government information. The lower house of Japan's Diet has approved the bill and the upper house has until December 6 to debate the bill.
The Japan Times story gives a good sense of the direct link between the new secrecy laws and the Fukushima disaster.
See also the New York Times coverage which makes the link to Fukushima clear.
There is a movie here, but I don't think it will be made. The quote is from Prime Minister Abe dismissing concerns about Fukushima to the Olympic Committee in Argentina.

Next Stop White Sands
March 18, 2013
I was taking the IRT downtown on a busy afternoon recently. On the 68th St platform I ran into Ivone Margulies, a colleague in the Film and Media Studies Department at Hunter College I hadn't seen in a while. When the train pulled in we were lucky enough to find seats. As we sat in the busy car I asked her how things were going. Ivone, a film scholar who has written on Chantal Akerman, updated me on her book on cinematic realism. I, a documentary filmmaker, told her about a film I have been working on for the last several years, called Hiroshima Bound. In the film I use my own childhood memories of parents involved in research on nuclear weapons and high energy physics to explore the role of Hiroshima in American memory and my own sense of what it means to be responsible for that historical legacy. I have been particularly interested in flushing out the history of visual representation, examining the legacy of Japanese and American photographers who took still and moving images in the days and months right after the events of July 16, 1945.
After a couple of stops a young man who had been sitting just across from us stood up and approached us. "Everybody in New Mexico should go there!" We looked up. "I went. My English teacher took us. But nobody knows about it."
"You're from New Mexico?" I asked.
This young man in his early twenties, Latino, in a suit jacket that was a tight fit over a big body was super earnest. And almost sweating with passion. Speaking loudly, from necessity, and partly from conviction, he told us that he came from Las Cruces, near the south end of the White Sands Proving Grounds.
"You can't really get in. But she took us to the Trinity site."
This was an event he both remembered and felt strongly about. In fact, you could say there were two events, the original explosion, and his own trip many years later. He reiterated how important it was for people to be aware of the legacy of the Trinity bomb, exploded July 16,1945 at the White Sands Proving Grounds in southern New Mexico, and still reverberating today.
As the young man told us his story, a well-dressed middle-aged woman sitting nearby took the opportunity to join the conversation. "I was there. I was at Los Alamos."
Ivone and I looked at each other.
"I taught at Cornell, and I had a friend, a particle physicist who got us in."
"When was that?"
"That was in the Seventies." She went on about how her friend was developing lasers for the military because that was where you could get a research grant at that time.
I told her that I was also interested in the instrumentalization of science that she described, and the bending of research to defense-related goals. That I was trying to figure out how to portray that in a film. As the 6 train continued to rattle its busy way downtown she went into more detail.
"I saw it twenty years later in the first Iraq War. The fuses on the smart bombs… I'd seen them in development." The woman couldn't let go of her story or it wouldn't let go of her.
" …They let us in because I was there with one of the scientists."
This is the F train. Manhattan. New York City. The winter of 2013. The young man and the academic both got off at Union Square.
This is a country that is waiting for a chance to talk about this story, about this killing myth. A country that somehow feels these events still bound in passion despite sixty years of myth-making and trauma.

I made these based on a couple different designs here on LJs. The top is a mitered frame with a rabbet to receive a 12" floor tile (glued down with construction adhesive). The tiles themselves look like slate. They came from the HD- Folkstone Atlantic Beach to be exact. The top and the legs are solid red oak. The rest of the pieces are scrap oak plywood to keep costs down. Pocket screws were used for the joinery. The finish is two coats of tung oil.

I was planning on building a set of end tables out of oak a lot like this. I hadn't considered the tile though. I may have to. Thanks! -- Every neighborhood has an eccentric neighbor. I wondered for years "who was ours?" Then I realized it was me. |

Scientists using nanotechnology to build computers modeled after the brain
Scientists have great expectations that nanotechnologies will bring them closer to the goal of creating computer systems that can simulate and emulate the brains abilities for sensation, perception, action, interaction and cognition while rivaling its low power consumption and compact size.
DARPA for instance, the U.S. militarys research outfit known for projects that are pushing the envelope on what is technologically possible, has a program called SyNAPSE that is trying to develop electronic neuromorphic machine technology that scales to biological levels.
Started in late 2008 and funded with $4.9 million, the goal of the initial phase of the SyNAPSE project is to develop nanometer scale electronic synaptic components capable of adapting the connection strength between two neurons in a manner analogous to that seen in biological systems, as well as, simulate the utility of these synaptic components in core microcircuits that support the overall system architecture.
Independent from this military-inspired research, nanotechnology researchers in France have developed a hybrid nanoparticle-organic transistor that can mimic the main functionalities of a synapse. This organic transistor, based on pentacene and gold nanoparticles and termed NOMFET (Nanoparticle Organic Memory Field-Effect Transistor), has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system.
Basically, we have demonstrated that electric charges flowing through a mixture of an organic semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles can behave the same way as neurotransmitters through a synaptic connection in the brain, Dominique Vuillaume, a research director at CNRS and head of the Molecular Nanostructures & Devices group at the Institute for Electronics Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) tells Nanowerk.
In the development of tomorrows computing systems, one approach consists in mimicking the way biological systems such as neuron networks operate to produce electronic circuits with new features. In the nervous system, a synapse is the junction between two neurons, enabling the transmission of electric messages from one neuron to another and the adaptation of the message as a function of the nature of the incoming signal.

Get any player
Use the following trick to obtain almost any player desired in Franchise mode. Go to the desired player in the "View Roster" menu. Make sure there are more than enough players in the position he is in. Go to "Edit Player" then "Information". Change his position to something that would make him overall bad. For example, make Ladanian Tomlinson a linebacker. Go to "Trade Player" and trade someone with a higher rating than him for that player. Once you get the player on your team, change them back to their original position.

Easy check in. Great communication by email. Check in on line. Friendly cabin crew. Departed on time, and arrived ahead of time both outward and inbound flights. Did hear some niggles about baggage, but the rules are clear and stated in the emails. First time with ryanair would recomend.
First time booking with TR and would recomend. Easy to use website. Booked flights, hotel and transfer. No problems at all. Great communication and fast to respond by email. And to be honest had worse service from the big name travel agencies. The best thing is you chose your hotel at the price thats right for you and is suitable for your needs,and your not tied to a holiday operator.
Comet willing to sell and deliver on a weekend, But not repair waited over a month for repair of a Tv 5months old. Kept getting fobbed of with dates . part not in stock. No replacement offered, They just want your money then stuff you ! And calls to the customer care cost YOU 10p per minute to be put on hold. Will never buy from them again

I liked the battle with Roxie, even though it was curved in Ash's favor. Though, to be honest, he would've gotten his ass handed to him if he hadn't gone through with the 6 vs. 3, lol. Roxie really did him a favor.
Fuuro. That air dogfight in the end was definitely the highlight of all Gym Battles.
Ranma ½ and Maison Ikkoku fan. And I never got into shipping flamewars about them.
VS Kamitsure because it was so hilarious. Pikachu getting progressively angrier in the background while Satoshi stupidly wonders what to do next was awesome.
Cilan vs Skyla. need i say more?
Roxie's battle was a bit wierd. did we REALLy have to constantly strum chords evry other move?
I don't usually do these, but I'm picking Brycen. It has the least BS, at least to me it does, and it shows how far he's progressed up to that point. (which is sadly little) I was tempted to pick the Striaton Trio, but this one earned an extra point for showing progress.
Step into the Fairy circle
I have to go with Brycen. Scraggy got to battle in a gym, nothing needed to evolve, the battle didn't make Ash look incompetent, he wasn't fighting a weak gym leader and Ash didn't send out something stupid (at least Krokorok had Stone Edge and he had a reason to use him against Beartic).
The others were beyond horrible.
Ash battled Chili twice by the way. The second battle isn't on the poll. There was also Kotetsu versus Marlon.
fuck you, sig.
I'm going to go with his battle against Brycen. All of the victories were believable and didn't involve any cheap evolutions that came out of nowhere. Plus, it did show that Ash was progressing. I don't think it showed enough progression for s a seventh Gym battle, but that's still more than most of his other Gym battles and that match was the most entertaining for me partly because of how believable the victories were.
My favorite would be Roxie's
Cilan, Cress and Chili - IMO was neither good or bad 5/10
Lenora - Was nice that he lost, and the rematch was pretty good 7.5/10
Burgh - Meh, but didn't think it was as awful as most people put it - 4/10
Elesa - I have nothing to say, perhaps, unremarkable - 5/10
Clay - Good, very well animated - 8/10
Skyla - Vey fun, a bit unpredictable - 8/10
Brycen - Ending was a saving grace - 6.5/10
Roxie - Hard and Fun - 9/10
Cameron vs Marlon. Just had to say it.
Anyway, I voted Skyla. Basically, even though a mid-battle evo occured, the rest of the battle was quite nice. Compared to the 5 battles before it, as well as the 3v6 Roxie, it was the best. Maybe the only better one could be vs Brycen, but i really liked vs Skyla more.
EDIT: Plus, the vs Brycen battle had LOTS of similarities with the vs Candice. But i can surely say that the Sinnoh one was better.
I'm giving it to Clay since it didn't make Ash look like fucking chump. The Roxie battle was annoying it didn't make sense how she was that strong and Gym's have enough handicaps already. Also I think Roxie is totally overrated but whatevs

Gym battle 7 for me. It reminded me of a DP Gym Battle, and Rival Destinies sounded kind of cool as an instrumental track during that scene.

I have one client that has owed me about $15,000 for two years. At the end of last year I had decided that I would just write that off as a loss. After I had already prepared my taxes, but before I sent them in, I mentioned this to some of my visiting family members. My accountant sister and lawyer brother just shook their heads. After about an hour of explaining, they finally got through to me. If I didn't spend any money, then I am not out any money. I therefore can't claim a loss. The IRS apparently doesn't put any value in time. And that explains a lot about the entire process of filing business taxes.
Yup, what they said.
