The reason provided in the generic email was that I was audited and my work did not meet their "quality standards". Funny how my quality of work resulted in an increase of business with them, doubling my volume over the past 6 months. Perhaps like the prior post, my values were not high enough for their liking. Values in our market area have decreased as much as 40%. I know that the banks don't want to see that, but it is what it is.
I have been doing BPOs for 6 years now, and it is my primary source of income. Now, I too, am unemployed and REALLY APPRECIATE BOA terminating me a week before Christmas. They did not allow me to complete the orders that I had in my query and removed me from their system. When I asked for an explanation as to my termination, looking for specifics, all I got was a generic email that stated I was audited and there was not rebuttal period.
For those of you still working with Landsafe/Countrywide/Bank of America beware, you may be next on the chopping block regardless of your "quality" of work.

Search TipsI just finished watching it again for about the fifth time. What happened back in Europe about 300 years ago is happening again right now in Europe and in the USA. The biggest stock market crash in history took place in France about 300 years ago, and it appears that a global stock market crash is imminent, in my opinion.
There are so many similarities to what happened back then, and what's currently taking place today. People were using their homes as ATM's 300 years ago, just like they were doing here in America and in Europe. Then property values plunged in Europe, just like they have in the USA in the past few years. Unemployment surged back then, same as it has today in the USA and in Europe. I think you'll really enjoy watching that documentary by Niall Ferguson, who is a Professor of History at Harvard University and also a Professor at Harvard Business School.
Feel free to type in 269041 at this site and read what is stated in 'Consumer Comment #3' at Ripoff Report #269041, entitled- 'Blame it on a Lawyer' to learn more about stocks and the stock market. (I believe that Harvard was mentioned in that consumer comment.)
Have a nice day.
P.S. Don't forget to type in 261157 at this site and look for "GOOFBALL SONG 20", which will be submitted in the consumer comments section at Ripoff Report #261157.
(The song has already been composed, and can be sung to the tune of one of the greatest songs ever written.)

Kronenhalle Review
From Stravinsky, Brecht, and Joyce to Nureyev, Deneuve, and Saint-Laurent, this beloved landmark has always drawn a stellar crowd. Every panel of gleaming wood wainscoting frames works by Picasso, Braque, Miró, Chagall, or Matisse, collected by patroness-hostess Hulda Zumsteg, who owned the restaurant from 1921 until her death in 1985. The tradition is carried on by the family trust, and robust cooking is still served in hefty portions: veal steak in morel sauce, duck à l'orange with red cabbage, and Spätzli. Unless you're a recognizable celebrity, make sure to insist on a table in the main dining room; ordinary mortals are otherwise seated in a less exciting room upstairs.

Amazing! I added bell pepper with the onions and doubled the spices (except the salt). I followed the suggestion to puree 1/4 of it to get a thicker consistency. It made a huge amount - great for leftovers and it freezes well. I served it with pita chips the first night and cornbread after that. - 10/16/09

Stefanie Olsen has written an article about SingingFish, the multimedia search engine that's owned by AOL, adding several new video content partners. Olsen is correct when she points that AOL has a treasure chest of video and multimedia content to tap into via Time Warner, AOL's owner. In fact, CNN (a Time Warner company) is one of the new SingFish partners.
New SingingFish video content partners include:
- iFilm
- Atom-Films
- CBSNews.com
- Hollywood.com
- Like Television
- ManiaTV.com
- MarketWatch
- The One Network
SingingFish allows you to search metadata associated with each video clip and then stream the clip online. This is the same situation at Yahoo Video with one exception. Yahoo does allow you to keyword search each and every word spoken on Bloomberg Business Television (using the closed captioning) and then view the video online. BlinkxTV uses speech recognition technology to let you keyword search every word spoken and view online content from many content partners including Sky News, C-SPAN, and the BBC. Blinkx.TV also allows you to use their speech recognition technology to search some video content from CNN. However, you have to subscribe to CNN's video online video service to actually view the content.

Happy Monday!
How was everyone's Easter? Ours was fabulous – lots of good food, lots of laughs, lots of jelly beans… it couldn't have been better. The cheesecake Easter basket above was our homemade version – tasty and fun! Although the kids were more interested in the jellybeans than the cheesecake!
Today happens to be the first Monday of my meal-planning month (which by the way, revolves around when we get paid, not the first day on the calendar), so I'm sharing what I have planned for the next four weeks. Just writing it out makes me hungry!
I've got a few tried and true recipes, plus some new {yummy} ones. I used the method I shared here, came up with meals based on what I already have in the freezer, fridge and pantry, and wrote a shopping list of everything else that's needed to complete the meal. Our "normal" schedule is a little "not-normal" this go-around (shocker, right?) – I am on break from teaching for the first two weeks and my husband will be out of town for the last week. I tried to include some of Mr. Crumbs favorite meals while I was off, saving the PB&J nights for when he's out of town.
Week 1
(S) Easter dinner w/family, bringing roasted dill carrots & mini cheesecake Easter baskets
(M) Marinated Greek grilled chicken, Greek couscous, garlic spinach
(T) Leftover Greek chicken tacos, coconut rice, southwestern corn, homemade salsa, homemade tortillas
(W) Veggie fried rice w/whatever veggies I have on hand and garbanzo beans
(Th) Spinach & chicken stuffed shells, veggie
(F) Homemade pizza
(S) Grilled tri-tip, veggie x2, homemade buns w/homemade garlic butter
Week 2
(S) Family dinner at Dad's house
(M) Leftover tri-tip tacos, coconut rice, southwestern corn, homemade salsa, homemade tortillas
(T) Ranch chicken club sandwiches w/homemade buns, roasted potato wedges, veggie
(W) No-meat Southwestern salad w/black beans
(Th) Sweet & Sour Shrimp, coconut rice
(F) Homemade Pizza
(S) Grilling ribs, french bread w/homemade garlic butter, veggie x2 & salad
(Chicken Club Sandwiches, Partially-Eaten Roasted Potato Wedges)
Week 3
(S) Family dinner at Dad's house
(M) Tilapia & chicken picatta w/lemon caper pasta, veggie x2
(T) leftovers (back to school)
(W) Veggie fried rice w/whatever veggies I have on hand and garbanzo beans
(Th) leftovers
(F) Homemade pizza
(S) Grilled spicy chicken, homemade macaroni & cheese, veggie x2
Week 4
(S) Date night dinner (dropping Mr. Crumbs off at training & I'm staying the night)
(M) Scrambled eggs, pancakes (from the freezer), sausage links
(T) leftovers
(W) Sandwiches (PB&J and/or grilled cheese), fruit
(Th) leftovers
(F) Stromboli/Calzones (homemade pizza folded in half)
(S) More than likely spending the day visiting Mr. Crumbs, so I'm leaving this day open
What's on your menu for the month?
Linking this up to Good Cheap Eats !

You're Uninvited
"Whenever someone makes out a guest list, the people not on it become officially uninvited, and that makes them the enemies of the invited. Guest lists are just a way of choosing sides. "
— E.L. Konigsburg
I can't imagine a more relevant quote when we start thinking about the impact estrangement has on families around such things as special family events; weddings, births, funerals, birthdays, Christmas and the like. I have many posts on this blog about making it through such occasions, coping with grief and loss, and struggling with issues of acceptance of self and others. That's not so much what I want to write about today.
There's a post I wrote a long while back, Families Gone AWOL, that looks at the issues more broadly and is worth revisiting. People often compare estrangement to a death in the family. In my post I go to some lengths to explain why this analogy often does not fit. Dead people don't get married, they don't graduate, they don't have babies. Dead people don't have birthdays, they don't gather for holidays and they generally don't die again. Estranged family members do all of these things … and even if we are well and truly estranged, many of us still have a variety of ways of finding out that these things are happening and that we are not a part of them.
The follow along is we will also have these events occurring in our lives and we too will be busy with inviting or conversely not inviting. Sometimes we can feel quite alright with that. Sometimes we don't. Sometimes we can vacillate between the two positions. I wrote a very personal blog post about how this works for me in my family called, Choose Joy. It was about my daughter's high school graduation last year, and how difficult it can be to live with the realities of estrangement. Not only difficult for ourselves, but often difficult for entire family "factions"- those who are "in"and those who are "out".
Many of us will struggle with making decisions about whether we should turn up for family events that we are clearly not invited to participate in; funerals are a great example of this. We may feel our own grief and our own need for goodbyes and closure, trump any current family disconnections or upsets. Many of us will also struggle to manage our own special occasions; do we notify estranged family members? Do we put differences aside to invite people who we are estranged from? Is that the "higher road", the more noble, evolved choice?
We may struggle to reconcile the inevitable tensions estrangement brings. What does it mean if we are estranged from one person, like a sibling for instance, but we do not wish to be estranged from our sibling's children? Can we choose not to be in relationship with one person, yet want to be in relationship with other people who maintain relationships with that person?
We may have heard that one of the most common times that reconciliation happens is during one of these family events. What we may not have heard is these events also can reinforce estrangement and make a nightmare out of events that should not be nightmares; weddings and births spring to mind.
Like estrangement, death brings grief and loss. Unlike death, estrangement brings with it complexity, possibility, and highly charged emotional conundrums. I'll endeavour to write some follow along posts to this one, which might unpack some of these incredibly difficult choices.

This blog leaves me speechless as it addresses some things that I am going through in my family. In trying to heal, it is helpful to have the insight and issues addressed as they are here. THANK you for this blog.
I'm just, speechless. And grateful. -
We have the right to cut people out of our lives, and it is true that "Time is the coin of life, take care lest any spend it for you".
Long ago I decided that to entertain people I did not like, even though they were family members, is an exercise in futility I did not want to experience, the more so because of the phoniness and dishonesty one would have to embrace in order to do so.
Thus regardless of the cost, it pays to remember and live the axiom, "To thine own self be true". You will never be sorry. and indeed, why do people feel they have to suffer fools, ingrates, and narcissistic people that you owe nothing to except the duty to boot them and keep them out of your life. Huh?
Hi Edward,
Thanks for you post, which I will endeavour to put some thoughts to.
Indeed, we can do anything we want to do. We are not limited except by what we are or or not willing to do.All that said, every choice we make carries its own consequences.Sometimes with estrangement, those consequences can be very high, even if we are hurt and angry. Our families are an important part of our self-concept and the seat of where we learn about relationships. Family is also a highly charged word – we are led to believe that family means certain things. For instance, that family is where we should be most loved, most valued, most cared for. Even when this is not happening, it's hard to shake the belief that it should be.
For many people, estrangement is not a direct result of liking or not liking and it must be said, there are many degrees of liking and trusting, and we don't always have the luxury of not associating with people we don't like. We can also not like a person, or something that they are doing, and yet love them very much. Therein is part of the quandary of estrangement.
Yes, we do need to be true to ourselves, and that means a variety of things and is subject to change. What needs to happen today, may be unnecessary tomorrow. Part of being true to self, means allowing ourselves to have the widest world view, not the most closed. The cost of self-protection can be that everything begins to feel like a risk. The cost of cutting out everyone who does things we don't like, is that we may find ourselves very alone.
We can also be true to ourselves and yet, feel very sorry for the decisions that entails. For instance, we can deeply love our child, however, if that child is acting in a destructive way, to self or others, we may need to separate ourselves from those behaviours and that trail of destruction. It doesn't mean we stop loving our child, or caring about them or hoping that their circumstances will change and that we can find a way of being "in relationship" again.
If it was as simple as booting family members out of our lives and being done with them, there would be no pain, no fall out and certainly no need for this blog. To say that people should cut their families out of their lives with no particular feelings around it, seems short sighted and fails to acknowledge the many, many people who are estranged and who do have feelings about it. Lots of feelings, both positive and negative, bearable and unbearable.
A few thoughts.
Take care,
My husband and I weren't invited to his sister's second daughter's infant baptism. It wasn't really a surprise to us. The estrangement is mutual and happened right about the time she got pregnant. Still it was a result of that very estrangement that my husband and I certainly didn't think about when we agreed to estrange ourselves from his sisters. Well, we were that same sister's sponsors (sort of like godparents) for her first daughter's infant baptism. Now I suppose we could have easily just shown up at the baptism. Well, the baptism was held at our former church of many years. But we didn't go and didn't even consider it. Moreover, there were a few other things we couldn't have foreseen. His sister sent out an electronic invitation that appeared on the Facebook walls of family and mutual friends. Obviously it didn't end up on my husband's. I even had to awkwardly and briefly explain to a friend (a member of our former church) that we wouldn't be attending the baptism. I then couldn't help but think, what if members of our former church wonder during the baptism, Where is so and so? These just aren't things that you think about when you are seeing red and say things like, "I don't ever want to hear from you again. Don't call. Don't write." (Okay, those weren't my words, but they were my husband's.) We still stand by our decision yet there are these moments… these unforeseen, awkward, emabarrassing, hurtful consequences. Sometimes I find myself thinking, How did we get here?
I've had the same experiences RKH. It was my mothers birthday yesterday, and I didn't call. I feel terrible about it now, shame, guilt, remorse, like I'm scum, and yet I know that mentally why would I want to call someone who treats me like I don't exist? It makes no sense, but emotionally I am tortured by it. I have been having memories of being held as a baby, and loved and the sense that we were connected once and it was perfect, and then I grew. I knew she didn't like me from teenage years, and even walked in on her telling my brother that she didn't like me, which was really awful. I realized sometime afterwards that I didn't really like her either and didn't want to be friends with her when I was an adult and left home, and that's where we are now.
It's terribly sad when I think about it at times…tragic really, because she did used to be a great mother, but things changed when her mother died, and she did not seek help with her grieving over that. She changed into someone I do not recognize and not anyone I would want to be around. My father did his best to maintain a relationship with me, but didn't realize how invasive and violating of my boundaries he could be, and wouldn't listen when I tried to tell him all this. At the end of the day we need to take care of ourselves first. Reminding myself of this now is helpful, but I wonder how many years I will feel this shame and guilt at their birthdays? Will it always be this way? And yes, totally get the "how did we get here" feeling.

-- know that you love says. -- -- Grape -- could go. The. -- -- -- Column Bruins games soccer -- here on WEEI by the way we were wrong yes Jon Lester did used to throw in the mid to high ninety's averaged 95 and his fastball. Just a couple years ago so we will live happily say that we were wrong also excited today we're talking about a for awhile. But to talk once again the brewers general manager Peter sure Elliott joins us see the AT&T hotline that. Peter -- awhile since we've got to speak in and since then Odyssey finished up. A great -- Rhonda what were you thinking in game six as you as you watch in. The roller coaster. Into that game what is it like being Peter surely and watch and. Well it would certainly. A long stretch. I can get to that point in their in the finals and and we really can density -- -- regular season. It's. When we actually gonna Google also it became six analysts. Within that within the first five games investors are so many ups and downs so game six there was. You don't know what to expect and and certainly and -- ending obviously. That's -- we're going back for game seven where you know anything can happen by. We you know we've benefited from and things like Adam and fortunately we were -- the victim of an ending like cats so. It's it's hard to serve remove yourself from that one game and then. And then try and ignore the rest of the succession -- -- done. You know I wrestle myself there have to play which around this year and then I'd like -- ended up but it looks like -- last minute or so. I'm sure the morning after game six that was probably just a bad day all around you thought about the game all day. How often do you think about it now or what what was the progression like thinking about it 25 times thirty times a day to. 45. Well it's you know in this business and any business and professional sports like. Speak to -- is I'm. It is you know you ignore these things he learned how to you learn how to digest and how to be better as a result. -- them but I mean you know I don't really. We've been so busy actually since that day I have had time to really -- about it. We migrated to our exit meetings in greater into the board of governors meetings. The draft free agency development camp and I'm just. Kind of solutions now so if you were to ask that question that we could probably have a better answer. Well let me ask you go about one more time and we'll start thinking about some of the things you've done since then and only because we didn't have the information at the time we the fans we know how hurt Patrice Bergeron was. You did you knew what he was deal with you knew just how tough he was being. As you're watching him play in a game like that does it dawn on knew exactly what he's going through and and you realize just how impressive it is. You know you. He is you'll you know what he's going through a united had these that -- cartilage and separation -- have ever had at the same time and have never played the NHL. So I have a little snippet of -- is going to -- produce. -- amazement as a word to describe it. You know greedy and amazement and -- am very impressed and committed an act in particular a lot of those positive words. He. And if you remember this perfect game he was he was really physical too so. I think that's when he any pre populated shoulders so. He learned a lot from Mark Recchi and I am he's obviously Patrice has -- from from day one but you know I think you learn a lot America -- -- way. The way he can play like that I am. And analysts who is quite a show. I've been -- Peter wouldn't do it. Why did well let's put it this way you've you've lost a lot of guys are moved up from some guys since the end of the regular season post season. Did you feel like you had a shot at at resigning Nathan Horton. Yeah I did yes I did but you know people like when you get to that point -- -- The people change their minds and then. You know I reassert respect I respect what -- did -- team. I know sometimes in the regular season he can. He can get lost in the shuffle a bit by Clinton when -- it was crunch time he performed. And you know that at a higher level cell lines so I respect him for that I respect him for. Making that decision I I thought that we were gonna be resigning him. Collectively -- nation has certainly changed her mind and then -- the end of the -- it. I'm sorry that he didn't silenced -- -- we have we have to move on and along quickly and we felt that we we've made some good moves after that. What did you know that he once was excitable where. It was midafternoon on the Saturday for the draft. And and how did you and it was just talking with his agent talking with him what what was the. What is important sorely slick haven't had a good dialogue which is Asian there's talk talk Cora who works of Barbie or and return and I respect greatly the agency group didn't. So Equus and there's ups and downs and instruction and so I knew that he could happen but that's steps what I Potomac slander -- finally that there was gonna have to. While talking about -- and it's not just you heard it now multiple times is important and his family. -- and his family decided to move on and and it is is there something unique about this situation. That leads you to say Horton and his family. No no it's just. That's fine when Glenn there's been this when you reach a point in your career or at least in my experience and a series. Players reach that point it it it just becomes a family decision. To ignore the message specifically Mason. But they are relatives said the same thing about the other guys and at last it's just it's at that point workers. It's about moving it's available in locales moving your traveling moving your kids. To a new location and that's just how I characterize. Asked about Tyler Sagan he had really interesting quote we spent a lot of time talking about it. And it was -- right after the draft intent but Tyler Sagan and how. He needs to he's got to become more -- professional. I can say that about a lot of -- when he went murals -- got criticized for playing on the periphery and all that stuff he did he's got to commit to being a professional and focusing on the game what did you mean by that. Well there's there's a lot to take from MacWorld. And but it took to mean that -- we talked earlier about Bergeron and recchi and to these guys have focused all the time. In this in season. And then with a lot of players like that and and you know in my in my experience symptoms you get young players who -- and -- and then Tyler's it is a terrific young player. And sometimes he wasn't that doesn't mean I'm suggesting you have -- dollars Alessio is a loose social media so it's just it's just about. Becoming a professional and -- becoming more mature as a as a hockey professional also. There that was really where I was I was directed to and that part of -- quote. The other stuff was where it is true there are a lot of -- 21 murals that discrete substantially journeyman Zell. And demeaning suited keeps them -- just the same way to a certain degree in east. He's a terrific athlete than the other the other kids that there were in the Russia and South Carolina seems to be the opposite and in the market received get. You get peace. Young players at different levels -- maturation that still really was one of my college and I don't really like speaking out our players but. You know I actually had to cut plan. What about the timing of -- talking to Peter surely here on WEEI what about the timing of the rumors that come out it was right after. The draft and you didn't get traded on the draft. You make these comments and they get -- point. Many of us thought OK always trying to send a wake up call to decayed because he's going to be here for another year in Europe we we thought anyway you can please correct me for wrong. You were trying to motivate him in a new -- continuing to pull the trigger on a deal just a couple days later. Well it was really Jewish that I mean what do it and plan and there is no real message sending. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And I just could have been asking about consumer directed at -- -- entirely during the draft so. I was just I guess there was a little tired of dealing with receiver with the rumors are just basically -- -- felt. Some -- anyway it wasn't you know it's if there was a message Stanton. And receive that rose five ballot system with the intention. I was Tyler saying and good teammate here. And as far as I know yeah I mean he's you know what guys like keys -- do you insert your pro using young kids. And they -- -- I got to know him well just because he's younger kids you like Chinese cement satellites professional hockey player and and he you know he'd he'd like to be that doesn't mean you're out drinking their bill later you know he was at times but he just you just. You like to live life so. And I respect that. So US yeah -- -- -- may use that energy. You know he was he brought productivity of the -- has -- you have a lot season especially the convention and we had. It you know he can do you like Spanish economy and so he was here he was good to me. He was drafted number two overall considered to be really top notch prospect how did he compare. Over his time here with your projections for him. Well you three years is tough to really. You know who they really see where he should or shouldn't be. That's for him it's going to be more like six or seven years. Maybe that's success mean -- five. I saw you don't want this here was do -- and I've said this on a number of occasions whether it would still assessing players specifically the team. It's it's tough to pass judgment. Completely and definitively. This past you're just because of the either way the year was. With no practice time. The condensed schedules so you have to be careful when you're when you're assessing and then. Rendering judgment on players and and and other parts of your your hockey teams so. The other this year I think Tyler came over and pass from from Switzerland and I think he has some habits there and on the bigger icing had a hard time. I'm pulling them back so you're gonna see a different -- next jury you're also -- this is different one because he's sentiment so. You know that's all I can say -- that. You -- to -- I mean whether it was difficult or not or on Ferrer not to pass judgment you have to pass judgment could you had to make a decision for your football team going forward here. We're talking to Peter surely hear -- on WEEI after making that deal in some of the other transactions you've had so far in the offseason are you a better team now. I think the area that. Well you know what we lose we lose a little on the on the character in speed. If from the outset that we gained -- back quickly give our. -- we got my match going -- again I think we're better team -- So like if if it's a wash as far as in addition and subtraction and carotene just gets better compared -- getting older and stronger and and -- better. -- let's talk about some of the long term deals that you came up with here. I don't think anybody is complaining about Tuukka Rask being under contract or Patrice Bergeron the only criticism I've heard or questions ever. Is about the length of time eight years from both of those guys like eight years. Well it's the maximum it's. So you know there's there's certain dynamic to take place when you're when you're. Signing players and not leave. Whether it's one near part of our drew literally -- there -- -- an ancient trees here and it's. I'm so there's sometimes you -- you don't get. And generally speaking you'll get the exact terms of term included do you want to buy it. What's would cease to do guys -- mean these 2 guys and I am character guys and and so the the years I mean there's there's ups and downs and a long term deal from from both perspectives -- the eight years -- special counsel what these guys are still young. I am I know very he has some has had some health issues split. He's even durable as they come party keeps coming right now coming back and he's. Loved the game I love this sport so. -- -- you know when you give it to deal of this planking water in my old people you wanna make sure that terrified character in which we checked our sports programs. When you're talking about Tyler Sagan turning into a enemy take another couple years he's had five years in before you really know kind of play areas. Was there something that made you think you couldn't wait I mean is there is there a window that you have is it. Trying to win Walt -- -- still in his prime of his career do you view do you view it that way were you trying to strike is often as possible now while -- -- back. A good point a little bit of that lake. The you know -- not to Wear a window because hopefully hopefully this this window will be. You know ad infinitum -- keep going over -- we keep replenishing the players. But. You know he's he's syndicated natural center and he's a guy that we got out of -- trade. And who have brought in some good returns in Thailand on the injured -- guy but he was an elite player that. Was pushed down our lineup because of where we worst team and if you were gonna work on his first. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- For your question on you know it is it. It -- he -- characterized as a window extra time to win the true story that characterizes and so that was part of it yeah I was part of it and the that this that are Winger saying then we we pride ourselves and having senator's record player. Up and down the line up -- a -- so -- -- so. But you know we felt we needed more natural -- you. My and I think of that what I think of your team I think of all I think of all the depth at center hey if you confuse -- -- OK for me accidentally -- your football teams that hockey team I don't completed it will get to that maybe another day but. You do trade away some of your senator depth right -- to weigh heavily who had a disseminate trade away Sagan I guess in theory. Added to some of that is that a concern for you that you're not as deep now -- Well. You know at some point at some point in this process when we are trying to build the team from here a year you'd describe -- in -- system. Special to Caplan Darren Garnett. Make you make some of these choices in the second open in certain areas so. We do we -- we have pride ourselves on the -- adapts. And deals Yost in our coach coral you know put out to two senators and are critical times. For -- purposes so. Nobody you have to you know you have to. Make these decisions in here and decision to assign people to certain numbers and to and to let other people go and then don't you just sort of -- part of the job and and you would hope that the other the senators down the line and it didn't get to test -- senators and -- and the organizational eventually come up to help. And Peter what are how much grappling with a win always -- you before this deal one hand you're you're giving getting and a fairly young player 27 an Erickson who's been productive. It can score on the other hand you look at Tyler Sagan. And he's not the same kind of players Ericsson. What that number just keeps jumping out 2121. Could he developed into a star at how -- look at Pete to be becomes a star and three or four years that was -- a. Well I thought the little. Well I had I had speak you can't worry OK I have a good deal with Tyler will be coming right and I don't worry about you don't know what you're getting. And how little doubt that we'll help you win now so. There there's -- there's a real good chance that kind of becomes a star. You know and then it when we treated -- likely I I said publicly discuss at least a certifiable score political scores we knew. What we were trading so it's it's about it's about which -- getting back and how you can make it shouldn't I can -- limit. When you signed into that contract did you think at that time. Look at this is going to be a core member of our team he's going to be here for the length of the contract or was it just. It makes all the sense in the world to sign up to this contract right now. Before a -- Well I had nothing to do to for the locker. It was more broad. What is peers society for and which doesn't isn't why you sign somebody but it could do if certain points of view these factors into the equation. And -- to vote. Making sure that he's locked in him and as part of a group they will issue and obviously the numbers suggest at least part of the course so yes. You would think that. That they moved -- things changed you and then. The reasons certain reasons arise should -- -- -- time -- you would want to. If you -- -- particular Ameritrade and part of that is stepped reformer to other people and what they're gonna have to be Kadant. For the success that we've had over over 56 years into the you know eventually. And these prices go up and you have to deal with -- -- -- doing what now and then back and we feel that we wish that we would -- we've improved the team with the most and and now standard he he might become a star and the loudest sound skilling might become a star and to match actually you'll be very good player. Frustrating at all knowing that as your team is you get a good team. Built with a lot of young players because you work -- a salary caps sport not a baseball GM. Because you're working in a salary -- sport eventually those guys are gonna need to get paid it. And you can't afford to pay all of them how how tough is that to know that you can't keep the gang together forever. Well you know it was it was tough it is tough when you win at the -- -- totally won the cup and you know you have his grandiose. Maybe not real realistic at times idiots trying to keep these guys together because. You were there you solitude in the trenches and then then then and can anyone. So you -- you I have to separate my emotions from that and an -- see what they did -- this past year and we didn't win but we came close to winning and you see the sacrifices that guys make -- possible birdie and and I am.

The Tropic of Capricorn is an imaginary line of latitude going around the Earth at approximately 23.5° south of the equator. It is the southernmost point on Earth where the sun's rays can be directly overhead at local noon. It is also one of the five major circles of latitude dividing the Earth (the others are the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, the equator, the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle).
The Tropic of Capricorn is significant to understanding the Earth's geography because it marks the southern boundary of tropics. This is the region that extends from the equator south to the Tropic of Capricorn and north to the Tropic of Cancer.
Unlike the Tropic of Cancer, which passes through many areas of land in the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn passes mainly through water because there is less land for it to cross in the southern hemisphere. However, it does cross through or is near places like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Madagascar and Australia.
Naming of the Tropic of Capricorn
Around 2,000 years ago, the sun crossed into the constellation of Capricorn at the winter solstice around December 21. This resulted in this line of latitude being named the Tropic of Capricorn. The name capricorn itself comes from the Latin word caper, meaning goat and was the name given to the constellation. This was then later transferred to the Tropic of Capricorn. It should be noted however, that because it was named over 2,000 years ago, the specific location of the Tropic of Capricorn today is no longer in the constellation Capricorn. Instead it is located in the constellation Sagittarius.
Significance of the Tropic of Capricorn
In addition to being used to aid in dividing the Earth into different parts and marking the southern boundary of the tropics, the Tropic of Capricorn, like the Tropic of Cancer is also significant to the Earth's amount of solar insolation and the creation of seasons.
Solar insolation is the amount of Earth's direct exposure to the sun's rays from incoming solar radiation. It varies over the Earth's surface based on the amount of direct sunlight hitting the surface and it is most when it is directly over head at the subsolar point which migrates annually between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer based on the Earth's axial tilt. When the subsolar point is at the Tropic of Capricorn, it is during the December or winter solstice and is when the southern hemisphere receives the most solar insolation. Thus, it is also when the southern hemisphere's summer begins. Furthermore, this is also when the areas at latitudes higher than the Antarctic Circle receive 24 hours of daylight because there is more solar radiation to be deflected south due to the Earth's axial tilt.

I haven't looked into the GS2 much, but these two look interesting. It looks like the ICS scene for it is exploding, so there should be a lot of choices to pick from . It sounds like RAP may have tried it using iTunes-friendly videos. I would imagine it wouldn't have any problems with 1080p as long as it's hardware accelerated. My Captivate is able to decode high-profile 720p MKV files in hardware with no issues and it's using a relatively old SoC. I haven't tried 1080p on it but I have a feeling it won't work. Edit: I put a 1080p copy of Office Space on my phone and played it using DICE Player. Holy crap, it plays with only minor stuttering! I'd imagine the new iPad could probably run two 1080p videos easily .
To be frank, I don't bother turning off my data connection. Battery life isn't really that big of an issue with me, at least as far as in-game apps go. Interesting you should mention e-mail though, since the data usage (and subsequent battery drain) caused by Exchange IS an issue. It seems whenever I use push e-mail for my Hotmail the data keeps getting used every few seconds for some inexplicale reason, causing massive battery drain (it would die in 5 - 6 hours, and that's without me doing anything). I currently have it poll for e-mail every four hours or so but it's kind of annoying since I love push e-mail but can't afford the battery drain. Thanks for the links, I'll check them out. Ah choices, choices (I feel like a kid in an ice cream store, pun definitely intended) That's why I'm waiting on the Exynos. My Galaxy S2 can do 1080p with no problems, and supports various media formats in hardware (just drag and drop). What I don't like about videos on i-devices is that they only natively support a specific format. I converted videos for my dad for his iPad and I would not want to do that with all my videos just so I can play them on an i-device (takes time, effort, and money).
Finally x86 tablets are getting better and am looking forward to get either this one or upcomming ones: Source Sure is expensive but at the end am buying a machine and not a toy :thumb:
No, the new iPad can only decode one 1080p video at a time. They updated the GPU but didn't update the decoder. And the problem is... only MP4 containers get proper hardware acceleration. Everything else is software in iOS. You can remux MKV containers to MP4 within a minute or two on any computer, though, and still retain subtitles + soundtracks and so on. Apparently, that actually has something to do with Android's implementation of Exchange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443559 And ICS doesn't seem to have fixed it. iOS handles that much better. Ironically, Gmail on Android is better on iOS. Gmail on iOS needs to be set up as an Exchange account, otherwise it's iffy. ------ And @ruantec, I'm sure the Samsung Series 7 has been around for a long while. In fact, I think I have mentioned it to you at some point... That and the HP Slate, which I still regard as being the best Windows 7 tablet I have handled. The Series 7, from the brief time I played with it, wasn't up to Ultrabook standard, but the weight and heat was very off-putting.
Yeah, with the power such tablets offer and my passion for UI desing as well as knowledge i could finally let my imagination fly
Are you referring to switchable/soft subs? How do you accomplish that while retaining hardware decode acceleration? Any special app needed for playback?
You just change the container from MKV to MP4. Sounds simple, but... it is. It takes like 5 minutes for most movie clips. If you want to be thorough, you can also use something like Handbrake to reconvert MKV to MP4 and integrate external soft-sub into the file. After you get the converted file, drag and drop it into iTunes, sync, and enjoy. It took me just one night to convert a whole anime series into MP4 with better compression (smaller size) and soft-sub, and then I was able to enjoy every episode the next morning. Pretty neat. Plus it's not any different. It's just like MKV... but now I don't need special decoders or VLC to playback anymore.
I've never gotten soft subs to work (granted, it's been a while since I last tried) on iOS. Last I tried, my iPhone just ignored the subtitles. Any specific format for the soft subs so the iPad will play them? I've always had to spend hours encoding to hardsub my anime. Most are MKV with embedded SSA subs. I'm familiar with Handbrake (it's what I've been using for years). Maybe I'm just using an older version, though, but as far as I'm aware, it "burns" the subtitles into the video and re-encodes. I was hoping for a solution that will allow a simple remux from MKV to MP4. YAMB appears to work but even if the output MP4 has subtitles embedded, I haven't figured out a way to get my iPhone to display the subs.
Today i found this: Source While i have to admit that the tablet is quite thick still is quite tempting thinking about the fact that is powered by an i7 with up to 8GB of ram and two batteries. However the price may be a bit high even if i haven't found any more info about it
Also found this which claims to be the most powerful tablet in the world: Source Quite expensive and i don't like the design tho.
Back when it was first released, perhaps. I think the presence of Sandy Bridge tablets would negate its claim to fame.
I think it may have to do with the way iOS 5.1 handles video files differently. After all, now iTunes takes videos above 1080p effortlessly. It might also just be the clips I have used. I have used .srt thus far. When I use Handbrake, I just uncheck the burn in box, and it'll magically embed the subtitle. Also multiple audio tracks is now supported, and iPad 3 can play back 5.1 tracks and downscale it to stereo out of the headphone port. But when it goes out of HDMI, it's pure 5.1.
Looks like this is the culprit. I don't have this option in HandBrake so it appears my version is just too old (2008/11/23: 0.9.3).
I bet this will make some people jump with excitement: http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive-iPad-Hard-Drive-s/183.htm It's a USB hard drive that is 100% fully compatible with iPad CCK. And what's more, it's just an enclosure (albeit quite an expensive one, but hey, it includes its own battery), so you can use your own drive. Looks like I won't be missing out on videos, should I choose to. Just as an idea, though, you can use any cheap $10 enclosure coupled with a $50 USB battery to achieve the same thing, but it's not in the same elegant enclosure. Then again, the USB battery also charges the iPad and iPhone... so...
Well, in any case, I returned the iPad 3 (again, this is the third time I have rejected the idea of an iPad device). Here's a list of reasons for whom it may interest: 1) It's less powerful than my laptop. And by that, I don't mean that it's because the iPad runs a mobile OS or anything like that, but that I can accomplish a lot more with my laptop in general. The difference in hardware is easily highlighted, and the difference in software is notwithstanding. 2) The screen on the iPad 3 is ludicrously good, but in terms of color reproduction, it's only comparable to my laptop's screen by default, uncalibrated. It's a lot sharper, I'll give them that, but something tells me the current generation just doesn't have the panel quality that I'm asking for. I was one of the lucky few souls who got a good panel with minimal defects. The general consensus is that you'd have to have won the lottery at least once to get a panel as good as mine (no screen bleed, no uneven tint, no dust, no dead pixel). Apple's QC has taken a turn for the worse when it comes to their non-Pro devices. Likely to reduce cost, but God almighty, this is just borderline bad here. It's even worse than the iPad 2, I think. 3) Heat surprisingly doesn't bother me that much. It doesn't get that warm. That said, though, the battery charge time does get me. 7-8 hours to get a full charge from my laptop? And then after that I can only use it for about 8 hours (because I keep screen brightness at max almost all the time)? This is probably one of the least efficient Apple devices I have ever used. 4) Back to the screen: while it's amazing, there is... next to nothing (except texts and DSLR-imported photos) that can max out its potentials. To put it mildly, the screen makes everything look like ****, and the problem is... everything is ****. Save for my books in PDF form, 101% of the internet, 99.9999% of the app store (you can count half of Apple's own apps, even), 1000% of book publishers, and 10,000% of consumer-grade media (photos, movies, music videos, etc...) are not ready for this kind of device, and my guess is that it would take another 365 days for all of those to catch up, by which time, hell, the iPad 4 has already **** all over this one. It's a shame, but really... I think the screen is very, very, very overkill for what is available right now. It's too far ahead of itself. Maybe when Apple has invented a mobile processor that can play back 4K contents that we'll have something to discuss. 5) 4G/LTE is useless since 4G is the same 3G we've had since forever, and LTE isn't available where God has made land (and ocean). But hey, it's closer to my home WIFI, so I should be able to stream seven-twenty... what? No, no 720p for you, sir. Your LTE connection seems so fast compared to WIFI because you are streaming 360p! Jokes aside, there's a way to get over that. But apparently, Apple can't get over itself to at least negotiate with carriers to allow 720p streaming over cellular network. And 360p looks like... urg... imagine blowing a Chip-8 game up to your 70" HDTV. It's that bad. So half of that (I'll admit, over half) are all criticisms to Apple for failing to deliver not the software but the content. Their software is solid, their hardware is ground-leaping, but... this is way too early. I suppose something gotta exist first for content providers to start working with it, but in all honesty, I feel Apple could have provided developers with these toys like... last year so that more apps could catch up by now. For the most part, the only thing that's taking advantage of the new screen are the texts, but seriously, if I wanted ultra sharp texts, I'd grab the Kindle instead. Kindle was gone, but I'm not getting it back since I don't read enough to warrant a purchase, but... this one is definitely going back. I'll take a peek again when next year comes and contents have filled up.
I guess you finally see why i was so dissapointed even before the iPad3 was out. The better screen and small changes just do not justify the upgrade and it doesn't change the fact that is just a advanced toy. I got my iPad 3 last friday and after bringing a weekend with it i'm now ready to return it back today and either take my money back or take a macbook instead. The reason for that is that when i hold it besides my iPad 2 i just feel like is sort of a downgrade instead of an upgrade and while i do not like my iPad 2 that much i just don't feel any better with the new one... Because of this and Windows 8 Metro dissapointment i've made the decision to wait the necessary time until a proper x86 tablet PC appear on the market. I'm aware that it may take a while until that happen but i know it will. Since the biggest problem i see on x86 is the software(in this case Windows 8 Metro) i made another decision and that's avoid Metro and instead create my personal one which i just started this weekend. So far is looking like this: Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler I managed to replicate Apples stack re-order behaviour as well as add movable controls which are dynamically loaded as plugins. I guess its going to be the best way for me since am just sick and tired of seen companies failing to create a proper software for there devices(am talking about x86). I've never said that but right now i thank God to give me the necessary skills to change that myself.
It's not the actual software that I have beef with. I can work around all that. It's the fact that the screen seems overkill no matter what I throw at it that I have beef with. There is absolutely 0 movie content available to consumers that can make use of even 80% of that screen. And since the switch to 1080p was just finalized recently, I doubt that'll change for a long while. There is also absolutely 0 website that can even display its content 50% right at that resolution because most websites are made for 1280 pixels across, or below. It's insane, really, that even in portrait, the iPad 3 is too wide for most websites to fit without scaling, and when scaling is applied, most websites look like crap. And apps are also getting updated slower because now developers have to deal with 4x larger resources on 2x the RAM available. Since all contents are currently made to fit the 1024 x 768 screen of the older iPad, the extra RAM feels pretty generous, but when things start to trickle in, 1GB will feel limiting very fast. Not even taking into account the insane compressions involved, 2048 x 1536 interface assets are way too much for most graphics designers, and especially because there are only so many displays on the market that can properly fit that much at 1:1 scaling and still show some menus. I don't have any doubt, though, that Apple engineers really squeezed every last drop of power out of the A5X to power that display. In terms of software, they managed to keep everything peppy smooth and perfectly responsive even at such a resolution, something they still haven't managed to get right on the Mac computers (Xeon counted). I don't think any amount of work you put into your front-end can match that. It was God-like engineering. I would keep the iPad 3 if for nothing but the fact that it browses the web better (smoother scrolling, smoother zooming) than all of the computers I currently have in the house. Too bad the web just isn't ready for this. Perhaps if Apple were to push 4K videos as consumer-ready and Youtube was readily available in 1080p minimum, I think it may work.
My problem is that i see no use of there super hardware even tho. i find there software design excellent. I would be happier with a x86 one but as we know they are far from perfect and let alone software... hence why i decided to do that myself to fit my needs.

Unemployment and job services are provided by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission. These services are designed to help people in the state of North Carolina find work and collect money while looking for work. To access your NCESC account online you must sign in with your customer ID and pin number. Your PIN number can also used for filing claims by telephone or online. If you are new to the service and are looking to file a claim for unemployment insurance benefits (which 99% of the people using this web portal are) you can do so in three different ways. A user can file by phone, in person or online.
To file online: Make sure you have 30 minutes and a valid email address. Make sure you have all previous employment information on hand and dates of military service and alien registration number if you are not a citizen of the United States. This will ensure the online application process goes as quick as possible. If for whatever reason you don't have time to finish the online unemployment insurance application please click on the "Save Work & Exit" tab and you will be allowed to come back and finish the process at a later time. At the very end of the application process it is very important to pay close attention to the final instructions. The final instructions will explain when and how to contact your ESC office, along with any required documents for your work search. The final instruction will also include methods for filing your weekly certifications. If your awarded benefits but don't certify weekly you won't get your money.
To file by phone: Please call the toll-free number which allows individuals to file for benefits. The toll-free number is 1-877-841-9617. Once calling this number you will be immediately prompted to file an initial claim. The phone service is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week and is free of charge.
To file in person: Visit your local DES office. Filing a claim in person might be better for someone who is not very good with computers and less educated than most people. Fling in person while provide one on one help with a customer service agent that can actually help you file the claim step by step.
