Joost shopping itself to satellite and cable providers
Joost is actively seeking a buyer and the beleaguered video service has told cable and satellite providers that it could be their online video solution, said sources close to the companies.
Time Warner Cable is one of the companies that has expressed interest in Joost, the sources said. Spokespeople for Joost and Time Warner Cable said they don't comment on rumor or speculation.
Joost is a story of missed opportunities, bad luck, and the folly of thinking whiz-bang technology alone is enough to forge a winning entertainment site.
Joost launched in 2007 with seemingly everything going for it. The … Read more

Venae cavae
Vein: venae cavae | |
The human heart and nearby structures, with Superior and Inferior vena cava labeled at left side of image.
Gray's | p.529 |
MeSH | Venae+Cavae |
The superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava are collectively called the venae cavae (from the Latin for "hollow veins", feminine plural). They are the large veins (venous trunks) that return deoxygenated blood from the body, into the heart. They both empty into the right atrium.[1]
The inferior vena cava (or caudal vena cava in animals) travels up alongside the abdominal aorta with blood from the lower part of the body (see # 11 in the diagram). It is the largest vein in the body.[2]
The superior vena cava (or cranial vena cava in animals) is above the heart, and forms from a convergence of the left and right brachiocephalic veins that contain blood from the head and the arms (see #3 in the diagram).
Origin: 1590–1600; New Latin vena cava (sg), venae cavae (pl), 'hollow vein/veins'. Although the classical Latin pronunciation of venae cavae would be approximately /ˈwɛnaɪˈkɑːvaɪ/, the standard English medical pronunciation is /ˈviːniːˈkeɪviː/.

Miracle Method, the industrys leading bathtub, tile, and countertop refinishing company, is opening its second Canadian location, in Pickering, ON.
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Miracle Method, the industrys leading bathtub, tile and countertop refinishing organization, has announced the opening of its newest franchise, located in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. The Pickering Miracle Method location is committed to meeting the rapidly increasing demand for high quality refinishing in the Ontario market.
Miracle Method of Pickering will specialize in the professional repair and restoration of bathtubs, tile surrounds and kitchen countertops. Miracle Methods surface refinishing process appeals to residential and commercial customers because of the savings of up to 75% over the cost of replacement of kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
Jeff Hamilton, franchise owner of the new Pickering location, saw Miracle Method as a great opportunity, with its proven business model and brand recognition, and its superior training and support. "This is the second Canadian-based Miracle Method franchise," says John Tubiolo, VP of Miracle Method Franchise Sales, "and we anticipate opening at least 20 franchises to meet the growing demand."
Hamilton attended Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario, and worked for the Toronto Sun Newspaper as a graphic designer for 10 years. Hamiltons wife, Sherri, a Senior Bank Manager with TD Bank, works in Ontario, as well. "With Hamiltons strong local ties and entrepreneurial spirit," Tubiolo explains, "we anticipate great success for the Pickering Miracle Method office."
The "miracle" in the Miracle Method process is the ability to transform ugly baths and kitchens quickly and easily, yet at a cost much less than expensive replacement. The cost savings by refinishing a bathtub is up to 75% compared to $2,000 to $3,000 to hire someone to remove a bathtub and replace it. The savings are similar for refinishing tile and kitchen countertops. Saving time is also a significant benefit. The Miracle Method refinishing process usually takes 2 days or less compared to a week or more for a messy tear out and replacement.
Miracle Method's customers include millions of homeowners and also all types of commercial properties such as hotels, hospitals, colleges , apartments, and assisted living centers.
To contact Jeff Hamilton for a free estimate on updating your bath or kitchen, call (289) 277-1364. For information about owning a Miracle Method franchise, contact John Tubiolo, VP of Franchise Sales, at 877-434-5096 or visit http://www.miraclemethod.com/franchise.

Come this fall, some 30 states will be on the hook for paying $1.3 billion to the federal government for loans they took out to keep sending unemployment checks to workers who've lost their jobs. And that's just the interest. In total, states owe the feds more than $42 billion , a tab they hope will evaporate on its own as the economy improves but will require decreasing benefits or raising taxes on businesses if it doesn't.
The situation represents a new stress on state budgets that already are reeling from four consecutive years of weak revenues, ballooning health care costs and now, the end of the federal economic stimulus program. President Obama responded this week with a budget proposal that would put off the states' interest payments for another two years. Meanwhile, several governors are looking at ways to restructure or pay down their unemployment debts while they wait to see what, if anything, Washington does on the matter.
Heftiest interest payments coming due |
Source: Federal Funds Information for States 2011 |
Idaho Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter is one of them. Otter, a Republican, is proposing to issue bonds to repay the $200 million Idaho borrowed from the federal government after the state unemployment trust fund went broke. Texas has already done this with its debt to the federal government; Otter figures the idea will stave off $110 million worth of potential tax hikes on Idaho employers over the next three years.
In Indiana, Republican Governor Mitch Daniels used his state of the state address last month to call "adjusting an out-of-balance unemployment insurance system" one of his top three priorities for 2011. Indiana has borrowed $2 billion from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits. The Indiana House has passed Daniels' plan to decrease benefits for the unemployed and increase premiums on employers. A tax panel in the state Senate has already approved the measure and now awaits action by the full chamber.
West Virginia's acting governor, Earl Ray Tomblin, also has made unemployment insurance a big priority this year, even though his state hasn't needed a loan to keep its unemployment fund solvent. Tomblin wants lawmakers to allow the state unemployment insurance fund to borrow up to $20 million from the state's rainy day account, just in case. "This will give employers an added assurance that they will not be subject to tax increases during this time," Tomblin says . And it will "let employees know that the state is serious about making sure that their benefits will be there while our economy recovers."
President's proposal a factor
One of the reasons unemployment insurance is getting attention in state capitals is because a previous federal effort to provide states relief is ending. The federal economic stimulus law had provided states interest-free loans, but that provision expired at the end of last year. In January, borrowing states began accruing interest on the loans. They are required to start paying back the interest by September 30.Unemployment insurance is a joint federal-state program that provides laid-off workers with a portion of their paychecks. States administer the program, determining who is eligible, how much the benefit will be and the length of time help is available. The program is funded through federal and state employer payroll taxes.
California, Michigan and New York have borrowed the most from the federal government, and therefore face the heftiest interest payments of more than $100 million each. Hawaii has the smallest interest payment due in September, under $1 million, according to estimates from Federal Funds Information for States , an organization that tracks the fiscal impact of federal budget and policy decisions on state budgets and programs.
Obama would give states a reprieve, while also raising the unemployment taxes that employers pay by doubling the amount of a worker's income that is subject to the tax from $7,000 per year to $15,000. Key Republicans have objected to that idea.
Obama would give states a reprieve, while also raising the unemployment taxes that employers pay by doubling the amount of a worker's income that is subject to the tax from $7,000 per year to $15,000. Key Republicans have objected to that idea.
"We need to reform our unemployment programs, says Representative Dave Camp , chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. "But any plan that relies on more than doubling the tax base and then continuing to raise payroll taxes in perpetuity isn't going anywhere in the House."
The fate of the president's proposal on Capitol Hill could influence what happens in Idaho. State legislation is pending to authorize the issuance of bonds. The legislation does not require bonds to be issued. It only would give the state Department of Labor authority to issue bonds if it believes that is in the best interest of the trust fund. Should the legislation be approved, it will be up to the department to determine whether to issue bonds.
If Idaho goes ahead with the plan, its solid credit rating would allow the state to sell the bonds at less than 3 percent interest, compared to the 4.1 percent rate the federal government charges, saving the state millions of dollars in interest.
This wouldn't be the first time states issued bonds to cover unemployment insurance loans. After the 2001 recession, Illinois and Texas authorized more than a $1 billion in bond sales to address their unemployment trust problems, according to the Associated Press. Arkansas, Florida and Nevada also are looking at the idea now.

My dog refuses to eat dog food both wet & dry!
I adopted a six year old mini poodle a few months ago; her previous owner had never feed her any kind of dog food. I have offered her a cornucopia of different dry and wet food brands as well as flavors, yet she rejects them all! I have put dog food in the microwave to see if it would make it more appetizing, but still she refuses to eat it. The only improvement after three months is that she has acquired a taste for dog treats like pepperoni sticks and begg'n strips, should I see this as a sign of hope that she'll eventually eat dog food too? Is it possible that she might be too old to learn to eat dog food? Can I feed her human food and still meet her nutritional needs?

I was often amazed at the diversity of topics you writers were willing to tackle. Keep those keyboards clacking, stay strong, and be good to the incoming editors. We are only human.

Fabric was very hard to deal with and pattern is pretty complicated, so I'm really not happy with details on this dress. And it's really not good for my figure.
But the colour is awesome :)

I think it looks lovely on you. I believe it would look more flattering on your figure if the length were just below your knees.
Oct 23, 2012, 07.54 AMby elfka
Yes, you may be right. Thanks!
Oct 22, 2012, 11.00 AMby Couture Academic
I think it's beautiful and I do love the colour too! I disagree that it doesn't look good for your figure, I think you look fabulous. The deep V accentuates your decollete and the skirt flows beautifully. If I were you I'd make another one in less fussy fabric…you've already worked out all the bugs, so the next one should be much easier!
Oct 22, 2012, 12.04 PMby elfka
Thank you! You're right, I'm gonna to modify the pattern around the breast and middle part to fit better and make another one with cotton maybe. Thanks!

Oct 22, 2012, 09.09 AMby elfka
Good luck! One piece of advice – If you have big breast like me, try to modify top front part to make it kind of higher, to let the middle part start below your breast not in the middle of it.

Equipment Support System
FraimLite, the entry-level model in the Fraim range, provides the perfect equipment support system for Naim and other hi-fi equipment.
A stripped back version of Naim's reference Fraim, FraimLite operates on the same principles, providing a rigid, self-levelling platform for supported hi-fi equipment that isolates hi-fi separates from each other and their environment. Its simplified design results in a more affordable and simpler-to-set-up equipment support system that still looks stunning in a modern domestic listening room.
Alternative level heights and finishes are available across both models to match the settings of the room in which the system will be situated. Uprights are available in black or natural anodised aluminium finish and come in a choice of three lengths: standard, medium and tall. Hi fi shelving system panels are available in ash, black ash and cherry real wood veneers.
FraimLite consists of individual levels that are placed one upon another and which can be added or completely changed in configuration as the equipment is upgraded. Its self-levelling tripod structure means there are no adjustments needed to remove rocking or vibration and assembly is quick and easy.
The FraimLite uses the same high-calibre materials, minimal contact cone and cup interfaces and floor spikes as the Fraim. The FraimLite forgoes the glass sub-shelf and ball bearing decouplers of the Fraim and has only a single base layer. This accounts for the difference in performance between the two models and has the advantage of making FraimLite more cost effective and even easier to transport and assemble.
As with the Fraim, the spacing between levels is designed to minimise magnetic field interactions between the equipment, and non-ferrous materials have been used wherever possible to further reduce magnetic effects.
Here are all the items available for download that relate to this product. If the information you require is not featured, please contact Naim Customer Support.

Marlins official: Owner acted like Steinbrenner

08:48 AM ET 09.09 | One veteran Marlins baseball official, on speculation that owner Jeffrey Loria will demote executive Larry Beinfest: "Jeffrey can't blame Larry for the guys Jeffrey wanted," including John Buck and Heath Bell. "You have to look in the mirror sometimes. Jeffrey was a big George Steinbrenner fan, but Steinbrenner eventually realized he needed to let his baseball people make the decisions."

Marlins official: Owner acted like Steinbrenner...........

the marlins can't act as the yankees late owner, the marlins have a long way to even get to steinbrenner heels, things not always work as the marlins expected, the team do have plenty talent all around their team in their farm system is depleted with quality players, but everything has been misshandled, the fish has to bring better coaches and a better manager in the front seat then we can talk again,,,,,
You were half right Jeffrey on the old saying- built it and they will come. You are a money maker who likes the spotlight, but you better hire a good GM to run your club and you need to disappear.
Sigh. If I invested as much money in a team as the average owner, I would want to at least have a team that I found interesting, and probably pick a favorite player or two as well. But for sustained quality team play, he needs to have a GM. Ted Turner was another who learned that lesson, and has been a very successful owner since then, in both financial and baseball terms.
Blow up this scrub team and build around Stanton.
Isn't that what they tried to do ?

George is a convicted felon who ran his shipping company into receivership not once, but twice. Toss in the fact the he was a HOF caliber pehkerhed and I'd say it's a toss-up.

View Larger The wood grains on the desk are still clear in my memory. Third grade, nine years old, and I already have an argument for why abortion should be legal. I was arguing (or restating what I had heard) with the kid next to me. We went at it with our kid-logic and arguments induced through parental osmosis. Even after coming to a place of deep love for Christ, after being filled with the Holy Spirit, as a Freshman in college, I still white-knuckled the positions I had debated for 10 years. But things changed as I began to see God at work in creation. My change of heart began with simple things, the reading of the creation story, life unfurling like a spring seed at God's beckoning. Then there was God blowing life into Adam. And Sarah's cynical laughter giving way as her body filled with the beginning of a nation. Babies born through barren loins. Seeds opening up. Morning birthing new possibilities. God carrying his redemptive plot forward through births; what else are genealogies? Paul's description of the beautiful and broken creation giving birth to something new. And then there is the Hebrew word for soul, which is not ethereal but earthy, "nephesh" meaning: "life". Through seeing all this I saw God's creator love for all that blooms and is born, his image-bearers at the center of this love. God's delight with life nudged my heart until I began to have new eyes. So when I, two days ago, first heard about the Gosnell case, I felt pain and urgency weighing on me to the point of brokenness. The 'snipping' of birthed baby spines. The reports of Gosnell's financial gain at the expense of the poor (some reports had him making 10-15k in a night). The other abysmal conditions. The oversight failure. Alleged jarred infant body parts throughout the abortion clinic. Words like "injustice" aren't enough. Words like "satanic" are much closer. As a pastor and student of the Bible I'm tempted to say it was God's spirit grieving in me as I read through report after report. The feeling, thick and vague, remains in me now. Just before writing this my wife Kandice had to repeat herself multiple times as I looked off, distracted by the hellish gravity of it all. How do we engage such a world? I wonder that sometimes. What do we do with our anger, frustration and sadness as we sit feeling impotent to bring about change? I wonder this even as I spent two hours today teaching the interns I lead about different postures the church has historically taken towards the greater culture. Even as we discussed at length the missional impulse of the church and the need to practice restoration. When issues like Gosnell surface theory gives way to the visceral. To offer "lists" or "steps" seems inadequate in the face of such slithering brutality and confusion but there are two things that come to mind. 1) We need, I believe, to practice redemptive mourning. There is a mourning that dwells in sickness and slouches towards despair. I have slipped towards this at times. So has my wife. So have many of my friends. Maybe you have. It is, of course, understandable in the face of the world's terrors, the dull and the sharp. Other times, I've avoided the numerous "Gosnells" that emerge each year, flipping channels, hoping they'll vanish with a remote's click. Ignoring the fact that there are numerous "Gosnells" that reporters never hear of, much less fail to report about. But neither the mourning that dwells in sickness nor the callous channeling flipping are redemptive. Redemptive mourning dwells in hope and gazes unflinchingly into the barrenness of night. In the midst of this redemptive mourning, we remember that "He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" (Rev. 21:5). 2) When we mourn this way we are provoked to engage with redemptive creativity, because we know that God's insistent, holy and passionate love does, in fact, win. This creative engagement does not 'show up' with shocking signs and megaphones–or hate Tweets–but with nuance. An example is Gabe Lyons, founder of Q and father of a son with Downs Syndrome. Provoked by the 92% of aborted Downs Syndrome babies he chose not to picket but create something very simple – a brochure. In it, with the help of a photographer, Gabe gave an honest and beautiful picture of what it looks like to raise a child with Downs. He made appointments with doctors, presented the brochure and asked if the doctors might make it available to parents expecting a baby with Downs. The brochure, like a seed, broke open and grew–becoming something larger, something close to a movement. It is, from what I've heard, in a number of hospitals now. This is only one example, but I know there are others. + My thoughts, are still spinning. "What does Gosnell tell us about ourselves, if anything?" "What does it tell us about America? Our values? Our virtues?" I have ideas. But I keep zoning out, looking at my desk, the wood grains flowing in and out, moving towards the edge. There, resting on the grains, amidst the papers and half open books, is a picture of an ultrasound. It's Zoey, our daughter who is now three. As I look at it I briefly I recall our hospital room and those hours of pain and thankfulness. Pain and thankfulness, it is not unlike what I feel now, the pangs of longing for a final restoration, this restoration that is as distant and inevitable as morning. # gosnell abortion theology bible Jesus Kermit Gosnell Posted 11 months ago 1 note View comments

View Larger Exile. It's one of those Bible words. Clunky. Nerdy. One which never comes up in our every day life. Yet there are few concepts more critical to understanding the Bible and the very story of our lives. Merriam-Webster defines exile as the state or period of forced absence from one's country or home. If you're familiar with the Bible you might be aware that over half of the Old Testament deals with Israel's exile from their homeland. Peeling back another layer we discover that all but three chapters of the Old Testament are about a people in exile. At the end of Genesis 3, Adam & Eve are driven out of Eden and from Genesis 3:24 onward, the story of all mankind focuses on our attempts and God's work to bring us home.

View Larger When Martin Luther King Jr., confronted racism in the white church in the South, he did not call on Southern churches to become more secular. Read his sermons and "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and see how he argued. He invoked God's moral law and the Scripture. He called white Christians to be more true to their own beliefs and to realize what the Bible really teaches. He did not say "Truth is relative and everyone is free to determine what is right or wrong for them." If everything is relative, there would have been no incentive for white people in the South to give up their power. Rather, Dr. King invoked the prophet Amos, who said, "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream" (Amos 5:24). The greatest champion of justice in our era knew that antidote to racism was not less Christianity, but a deeper and truer Christianity.

Building Regulations in Brief
7th Edition
By Ray Tricker, Samantha Alford
Routledge – 2012 – 1,034 pages
Routledge – 2012 – 1,034 pages
The most popular and trusted guide to the building regulations, Building Regulations in Brief is updated regularly to reflect constant changes. Now in its seventh edition, it has sold over 28,000 copies since its first publication in 2003.
This new edition includes the latest on all the significant amendments to Building Regulations, Planning Permission and the Approved Documents that occurred in October 2010 and includes changes to Parts F and L, as well as Approved Documents A, C, and J. There are also changes reflecting the consolidation of the building regulations included.
The no-nonsense approach has made it a firm favourite with all involved in the building industry including designers, building surveyors and inspectors, students and architects. A ready reference giving practical information, it enables compliance in the simplest and most cost-effective manner possible. Building Regulations in Brief cuts through the confusion to explain the meaning of the regulations, their history, current status, requirements, associated documentation and how local authorities view their importance, as well as emphasizing the benefits and requirements of each regulation. It's an essential purchase for anyone needing to comply with the building regulations.
"This simple approach to the regulations, without delving too deeply into detail, gives a perfect guide for the DIY person, student, site operative and architect as well as other professionals across the board; the key being that it helps you to locate the vital information. It is also extremely cost effective compared to the full documents which are not easy to read or as accessible due to the multiple volumes."
Mark Heggs, MBEng, MIHEEM, MICWCI, University of Leicester
"…a straightforward commentary and easy to read format that brings together much useful guidance into a single volume."

I'm feeling stupid tonight simply because I can not fogure out how to do a Dishpass....
I'll explain. I was in guide and a movie I've been wanting to see was showing and almost over. So I did a search and no more are showing right now. So I figured a dishpass would do the job however I can not seem to set one as the buttons are grayed out.
Any suggestions beyond going to search once a week?

The cover of the March Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair asks, "What's the most influential movie of the last 30 years," then offers the following hints: "(It's not E.T., it's not Pulp Fiction, and it's not Toy Story...)"
The answer, of course, is Diner, the Baltimore-set 1982 classic directed by local treasure Barry Levinson. In an extensive story, headlined "Much Ado About Nothing," writer S.L. Price details the inspiration for and making of the film, and explains how it influenced everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Larry David. As the table of contents says, "With Diner, neophyte director Barry Levinson turned a film about nothing into a male-bonding classic, launched Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, and Ellen Barkin's careers, and spawned hits from Seinfeld to The Office."
We talked to Barry Levinson this morning about the cover, and he was, understandably, a little overwhelmed.
"It was quite the article," he said. " It's great. I hadn't thought about it that way. They're talking about how the movie talked about the pop culture things that existed and I guess it hadn't been done quite that way before, sort of focusing on the scenes between the scenes. For me, it was a way to talk about friendship. A lot of times you see movies and they talk about 'how long we've been friends' and blah, blah, blah. But basically, friends don't talk about being friends. They talk about anything else, and from the nature of the conversation, you know they're friends."
In the coming months, we at Baltimore magazine will offer our own unique celebration of the 30th anniversary of the classic film, which not only influenced a generation of filmmakers, but created perhaps the most poignant, lasting impression of Baltimore in popular culture (sorry, The Wire). Stay tuned!

Largest slaughterhouses mostly in rural communities
The largest slaughterhouses in the US were once located in major metropolitan areas. But they have relocated. Now many remote rural communities are struggling to serve the needs of new immigrant and refugee populations who are the backbone of America's meatpacking plants.
This map made by Harvest Public Media editor Donna Vestal and Kate Golden of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism charts the largest meatpacking plants in the country. It is part of our special "In the Shadows of the Slaughterhouse" series.

Cartersville reminds visitors it's not Atlanta
Visitors flock to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Ga. The museum features several big attractions, including a mineral gallery, a fossil gallery and a planetarium.Photo by Patrick Smith.
Welcome to Cartersville, Ga.; it's not Atlanta.
That's the slogan created in 1996 during the Atlanta Olympics to attract more business to the quaint town. It worked, said Ellen Archer, the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention and Visitors Bureau director.
"So many small towns have melted into Atlanta," Archer said. "We're not so close that we don't have our own identity."
Just a few miles off the busy Interstate 75, Cartersville offers attractions for water sport athletes, art enthusiasts and nature lovers.
The popular 12,000-acre Allatoona Lake attracts campers and water-skiers from all over the region, Archer said.
Both the Booth Western Art Museum and the Tellus Science Museum draw many visitors to the area.
The Booth has the largest permanent collection of Western art in the country and the only collection of hand-signed documents by all the U.S. presidents, Archer said.
Cartersville also has a downtown area that offers unique restaurants and stores.

The Four-way, a popular restaurant built at a four-way stop, has a short counter with 12 seats, and the owners have never owned a telephone, Archer said. One of the most popular items is the local favorite -- gravy burgers.
Visitors to the area also can explore the ancient past at the Etowah Indian Mounds State Historic Site, an archaeological site along the banks of the Etowah River.
The 54-acre site was home to several thousand Native Americans from 1000 to 1500 A.D., during the Mississippian Period. The largest mound stands more than 63 feet high and covers three acres.

Best Tacos in LA
These are the bonafide, old school, best tacos in LA. While I love what the new wave of taco trucks has brought us in eclectic flavors, sometimes it's nice to have a traditional carne asada taco without any kimchi. And I'm not talking about the school cafeteria ground meat/hard shell abominations I grew up on, we're looking at the best carne asada, carnitas, chorizo, cabeza, and gambas this town has to offer wrapped up in a tortilla. So get your salsa and limes ready, it's a taqueria round up!
Cactus Mexican Food
950 Vine St
Los Angeles, CA 90038
Neighborhood: Hollywood
(323) 464-5865
What to order: The Carnitas Tacos
Often lauded as the best Cabeza in town (think tender, melt in your mouth oxtail or shortribs if you haven't had it before), this little stand is the perfect post movie grub spot, just a few blocks down from the Arclight. If the Cabeza, and yes we mean brains, is a little much for you to stomach, try the delicious carneta. Moist, tender, and a little crispy at the edges of the pulled pork, it's simply to die for.
El Chato Taco Truck
We are located on the South/West corner of Olympic & La Brea.
What to order: The Carne Asada
Carne Asada is the bench mark of a decent taqueria, and El Chato passes with flying colors. With just the right amount of spice and great flavor it's perfect topped with some grilled onions, radishes, and limes.
La Estrella Taco Truck
York and Ave 54
Los Angeles, CA 90042
Neighborhood: Highland Park
What to order: Al Pastor Tacos
Located in Highland park, La Estrella is a take no prisoners taqueria. If juicy, succulent pork is your bag, then the al pastor here can't be missed. Spit grilled with a smokey and rich kick, I wish I was eating one right now!
Tacos Por Favor
1406 Olympic Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Neighborhood: Santa Monica
(310) 392-5768
What to Order: The Chorizo or Carne Asada Tacos
The red salsa alone is a reason to come here: rich, dark, chocolatey; almost like a mole in flavor, you'll sneak some in your purse on your way out it's so good. But drizzled over their carne asada or spicy chorizo tacos, it is truly a thing of beauty. The carne aside has some bright citrus notes, elevating the flavor of the taco, while the chorizo comes covered in queso fresca, a soft cheese to mellow out the spice. Both are balanced and absolutely delicious.
Ricky's Fish Tacos
1400 N Virgil
Hollywood, CA 90027
What to order: Shrimp tacos
Hidden in a small parking lot and shrouded by green tarps, this blink and you missed it taco stand serves the lightest, crispiest, freshest Ensenada style fish tacos in the city. Ricky is there, his straw fedora tilted jauntily back on his head, ready to serve you up a plate of delicious tacos. Fried to order in a mysterious batter, drizzled with a little crema and salsa, this perfectly seasoned, golden brown bite of goodness is an absolute must.

Without trying to sound pro or anti gun. Canadians have a lot of guns at home, from pistols to rifles. My family had 8 guns including old military guns. When I was young my father showed me how to shoot guns. What is really different between us as the USA? I do know our guns have to be locked in a secure storage container, I do not know US laws on gun storage.
Can it be pure population density? Does the fact that the US has more people clustered together mean that statistically the likelihood of a school shooting is greater? But isn't China and Japan even more densely populated? So what are their school shooting statistics?
It can't be just that Americans think they have a right to guns is it? How is having the right to have guns different than being allowed to have guns?
My theory... The typical urban environments lend themselves to less gun safety talks with children. This theory could be tested by checking the gun violence rates in less urbanized states.
Out of the vast population of North America, the gun-protected population is still far greater than gun-killed population, this makes the very sense....that a minor part of people should die for the majority.
Are they conflicting stances?
and have enshrined the right to be better armed than is sensible or necessary in your Constitution.
I live in a peaceful society, in a backwater of a country, I can have access to hunting rifles and shot guns only, which as hunting and fishing are readily accessible and not very expensive pastimes, is as it should be. Handguns assault rifles machine guns and other automatic weapons are only useful for murdering, maiming and killing the innocent. I know that at the Wharehouse ( similar to your Walmart ) boxing day sale, an irate bargain hunter is not going to whip out a pistol and start shooting to grab a bargain that another customer is also trying to grab. The Police, who are not normally armed are not likely to get involved in a shootout as the bad guys can't easily get firearms. If I desire a firearm for hunting as well as being vetted by the Police, I am required to attend a firearm safe use course, pass this course and also provide proof that I have strong safe lockable cabinet to store these firearms in.
This makes it harder for nutters and criminals to get their hands on weapons, and extremely hard if not near on impossible for them to get full automatic weapons and assault rifles.
At the time your 2nd Amendment was added, your country was a wilder and less civilized place, as was the rest of the world. Are you sure that the reasons for the 2nd Amendment still apply ? Which is a more important freedom, Bearing any arms by any sane or insane, law abiding, or not law abiding person may so desire or restricting weapons in your society to types of firearms are made only for hunting not urban warfare eg. pistols assault rifles, and automatic weapons, or the freedom for your children to go to school a much lessened risk that some nut case with a chip on their shoulder will go on a mass killing spree. How many dead children is wide open gun controls worth ?
As I said its your country, your choice, but I feel much safer and as a result much freer in my backwater of a country with the right sort of guns available and none of the type only useful for evil things
When gun-possessing society is more aware of weapon danger, people tend to buy more guns to protect themselves. Despite this undeterrable cause and result, if firearm is banned and gun purchasing power all goes to charity or other positive spending, would it be much better? Some people just do not have enough to eat.
it is true that in China one is safer than in the US when it comes to gun violence. But funny you don't mention workplace safety for example ? Or extreme poverty which brings health risks ?
Why? Because they fear one day those countries will become BANDIT attackers. Every country is saying nuclear weapons are for self-protection; however, Americans want to eliminate that possibility of getting out of control. So why guns are not banned similarly to nullify the possibility of abuse? Is this Americans' "egotistic-privilege-ism"?
That gun possession is adovcated at the expense of gun crimes. And the TOLLs are justified by the majority of Americans. If you compare gun-killed statistics with knife-killed ones, you can visualize that over-worrying of gun crimes is unnecessary. So let's look forward to next bloodshed(s).
and suggest that there are two major causes.
One is crime. The US has a lot of it, and lots of crime means lots of criminal enforcing their own kind of justice on each other.
The other is unhealthy attitudes.
The Swiss have a lot of (army) weapons in their homes, but they don't really have a desire to own weapons.
To many in the US, firearms seem to be a symbol of "fuckyeahfreedom". That's not something that engenders a sober attitude towards them.
So, there, "expert" statement, sure to make Maxwell apoplectic.
The rise in gun purchases following the recent school massacre have been attributed to two causes.
Firstly there have been a number of people who have bought into the environment of fear that seems to pervade much more of the US population than I, for one, had appreciated. Fear - I/my wife needs a gun to protect my children/property/belongings, etc. There is a lot of that attitude, Even on the threads here despite the fact that burglaries are of about the same per capita rate as the UK although, (you'll be happy to know) more than Finland.
Secondly, there are a significant number of gun nuts who have gone out and purchased a whole load of automatic weapons just in case the government does have the nuts to do something.
Lots of people own guns or don't own guns but would restrict legislation simply because of the Second Amendment, which I truly do not understand. But I'm also lacking real understanding in the whole US Constitution with its rhetoric of liberty thing anyway and I just tend to lump it in with the other ancient Holy Books that I can't understand people's facination with.
But, when it's all added up, more Americans DON'T own guns than own them. It's just got to the situation that those who do own guns now own more guns and more sophisticated and powerful guns.
Interestingly, all ten of the states with the highest gun ownership rates, 50% or more, are considered staunchly Republican states. I'd rather not speculate on the racial profiling of gun owners lest I hit a nerve. Or speculate whether it's a Christian thing...
p.s. The Swiss are WEIRD! Any country that has laws that forbids the flushing of a toilet after 10pm (and legislates that men pee sitting down after 10pm) and forbids the washing of a car on Sunday cannot be used to prove ANYTHING. Invoking "the Swiss do/have" is beyond Godwin's Law.

One of the vendors at the Los Angeles Boat Show this weekend is family owned and operated - Sun Country Marine - with locations in Ontario, Dana Point and Lake Havasu.
"We are thrilled to get out in front of a lot of people who otherwise may not have been able to and have them see what we have to offer," said Mike Basso Jr., who's father started Sun Country in 1990. "It's an opportunity for the public to see us - and all my competitors - all in one place. These days people are good at doing research, but most of the time it's all online. At the show people can see and touch something tangible. They ask questions of real people and make informed decisions."
Basso Sr. began a career in the marine industry in 1969 starting off rigging and assembling in a manufacturing facility. He then progressed to become the general manager of one the largest boat manufactures in Southern California before opening Sun Country, according to its website.
"He started Sun Country with me in mind," said Basso Jr., who was a 24-year-old West Covina police officer at the time. "He wanted it to be a fun place where friends and family could hang out."
For a few years Basso Jr. split his time between law enforcement and Sun Country, but found his passion was in boating and eventually turned in his badge for the blue of the water.
"Growing up the only vacations we ever took were on the water," said Basso Jr. with a giant smile. "They were great. There's always something fun to do when you're on the water, fishing, swimming, skiing, jumping off rocks."
Sun Country offers sales and service on new and used sport boats, sport cruisers, pontoon boats, bass boats and tow boats from such manufacturers as Sea Ray, Bennington Pontoons, Nautique Ski Boats, Meridian Yachts and Skeeter fishing boats.
"With the advancement of technology and boat evolution boating has gotten simpler and it really takes very little to operate and maintain a boat," Basso Jr. said. "They are so simple, many operate by a joy stick and take, on average, one service a year that costs around $200."
To better familiarize boaters and boater-want-to-bes, the Los Angeles Boat Show offers many opportunities to learn about the sport in two locations: The Los Angeles Convention Center and Burton W. Chace Park in Marina del Rey.
Activities include: Fred's Shed DIY seminars and Interactive Learning Center; Welcome to the Water Center - resources to help people get started in boating and Powerboat Docking Challenge.
There will also be celebrity appearances by Phil & Bob Soven from MTV's WakeBrothers.
"If you're a boater or have ever considered boating the boat show is a great place to learn and experience the life style of boating," said Dave Geoffroy, vice president of the boat show. "(At the show) you can see the latest models and gear. There's a dedicated area where you can speak to a docent in a non-sales atmosphere and get all your questions answered before you talk to a salesperson."
The show also offers entertainment, food, cocktails and a free shuttles between both venues.

"Would love it if not for one huge problem..."
2.0 starson by pungodPros: OTA channels, 2 tuners, no monthly fee, nice remote
Cons: Can't keep time! Loses up to nine minutes almost every day. Was sent a replacement unit; it has the same problem. Broadcast signal very good, so not a broadcast issue. Complained to CM for 3 months, but no remedy.
Summary: This unit does everything I need, but the time-keeping issue is a deal breaker. I hope a competing product becomes available before it's too late to return this unit.
- 2 replies to this review
The time stamp is embedded in the OTA signal - there's been ann issue of drifting since TV went digital. It drifts almost 3 minutes a day day. Often it's OK on Friday but it's almost 10 minutes fast by Monday! I use a convert linked to a VHS recorder and I get upset missing either the first or last few minutes of a program i want to watch later.
But,somehow, somebody, somewhere is able to reset the master clock and all is well for a day or so.
I've complained to my local TV station engineers but they claim they don't know who I should talk to: FCC? FBI? NASA? Bill Gates? or other space aliens? -
I read on another review of this product that this DVR receives its time from a local station that puts out the signal (PBS, CBS, etc). That incoming signal may be running slow. It might help to check with your local PBS station to see who sends the guide/clock information in your area. I live in a large metropolitan area and do not have this same problem with our device.

With the country's unemployment rate at a 25-year high, 12.5 million people are currently out of work—and millions more may be laid off in the coming months. Even if you still have a job, financial expert Suze Orman says it's never too early to start formulating an unemployment action plan. "I know a lot of you never thought in your wildest dreams ... that you'd have to go and get unemployment, as if there's some disgrace about it. There isn't," she says. "It is an entitlement that you actually deserve. But you have got to take an action."

Fridge Funny Heartwarming Main Trivia WesternAnimation YMMV main index Narrative
Disney movie of the same name. After the events of the film, Hawaiian girl Lilo is safe and happy with her sister Nani and their expanded family: alien experimental life-form Stitch, giant four-eyed mad scientist Jumba, and meek cycloptic soldier-bureaucrat Pleakley.As the series begins, it is revealed that many other experiments of Stitch's lineage, of which he is number 626, have landed near Hawaii by accident (as shown in the straight for video movie Stitch! The Movie). Stored in pods that activate one by one in freak occurrences (usually by dropping into water), each specialized experiment uses its unique power to wreak havoc on the island until it is captured. Lilo and Stitch's goal is to find a place in which each of Stitch's "cousins" can be useful and happy. Competing with them for each capture is movie bad-guy Captain Gantu, who seeks to enslave the experiments for the even-eviler Doctor Hamsterviel. After three seasons of this, the series closed out with the fourth and final movie, Leroy & Stitch.Now has a character sheet.

On a morning walk recently I noticed this lovely rose in the garden entryway of an apartment building. When I stopped to take a photo of it the caretaker came out and told me a bit about it and encouraged me to smell it. It's only one of many different types of roses he grows. He prefers those that, like this one, called "The Blue Nile", have a rich scent. I too am partial to old-fashioned roses like this.

Do Foreign Investors Care about Labor Market Regulations?
This study investigates whether labor market flexibility affects foreign direct investment (FDI) flows across 19 Western and Eastern European countries. The analysis uses firm level data on new investments undertaken during 1998-2001. The study employs a variety of proxies for labor market regulations reflecting the flexibility of individual and collective dismissals, the length of the notice period and the required severance payment along with controls for business climate characteristics. The results suggest that greater flexibility in the host countryâs labor market in absolute terms or relative to that in the investorâs home country is associated with larger FDI inflows.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)
