THE GIRL NEXT DOOR is a film based on Jack Ketchum's novel, which is based on true events. I've seen a lot of horror films in my time, and I have to say that the scariest ones are always the ones that hit close to home. When you read the newspaper, watch the news, you sometimes see and hear things that are almost unbelievable that humanity can sink into such aberrations. This film borders around the line between exploitation and voyeurism, but believe me, "The Girl Next Door is a realistic, disturbing and genuine journey into one girl's personal hell.
Synopsis derived from the dvd back cover:
In a quiet suburban town in the summer of 1958, two recently orphaned sisters are placed in the care of their mentally unstable Aunt Ruth (Blanche Baker). But Ruth's depraved sense of will soon lead to unspeakable acts of abuse and torture that involve her three young sons, the neighborhood kids, and one 12-year old boy whose life will be changed forever.
People may say that some stories don't need to be told and I agree with them. "The Girl Next door" is arguably something that should have been left on the shelf. However, those who deny such stories also naively deny the twisted reality of life sometimes. This film is sort of a "coming of age" piece with a very dark, edgy premise that plays like a morality drama. In viewing this film, the viewer has to get pass the disturbingly graphic images to be able to appreciate its subtext, otherwise one will think that it is an exploitation flick with minors involved. Being based on a true story, the viewer has to keep in mind that this case did happen, and may POSSIBLY happen again somewhere.
The viewer has to pay special attention to the film's themes in order to understand why director Gregory Wilson opted to make this disturbing film. "The Girl Next door" is a tale of unfulfilled love, the moral responsibilities of adults, helplessness of children, and for people to be sensitive to what's going on. All these themes revolve around the film's main premise; abuse and the violence against women. The film is an emotion-driven film, no, it doesn't play on the graphic images and torture as much as the tiresome Eli Roth torture flicks. The film-makers knew what they were doing when they shot this film. They paid extra attention to the needed emotions inherent when one experiences such an ordeal. Meg, a pretty, innocent young girl is the victim. She loses all that she holds dear to humiliation, abuse and torture. Meg's sister is a victim of her own helplessness and fear. David is a young boy is sort of a victim also. He loses his innocence and up to his days as an adult, (as shown in the film's beginning and the climax) he still wishes that he could have done something to save Meg. David is a victim of his own conscience. Even Ruth's three boys are victims in their own way. They are victims of Ruth's twisted upbringing and philosophies on life and women. What is truly almost unbelievable is that the neighborhood kids are insensitive to Meg's plight, in fact, they seem to enjoy it. People may argue that some kids don't know what abuse is, thank goodness, my parents brought me up to be able to identify such things. Also, in this situation, "birds of the same feather flock together..."
The true instigator of the children's ordeal is Aunt Ruth; played by Blanche Baker. The actress makes an outstanding performance. Baker's portrayal as the main antagonist is realistic, disturbing and creepy in her own way. I've read somewhere before that the most dangerous psychopaths are those who think they are noble and serving a just cause. Such is the case with Aunt Ruth. Aunt Ruth preaches her mad, twisted indignation to her children (and to David) with convincing fervor that I couldn't blame them into buying into what she's saying. Another intense human horror is revealed: children do try to emulate their elders.
Now, I haven't read the novel and I'm pretty sure the book will have more answers. The film isn't perfect, some characters aren't fleshed out and "happy" people will no doubt have a lot of difficulty connecting to its story line. Also, David's parents are a bit one-dimensional and felt like they were minor plot devices to emphasize David's tortured conscience. The film however, does a lot more things right than wrong. I rather thought that it was very ingenious for the screenplay to show David as an adult haunted with his past nightmare, and how he has never forgotten his childhood friend; Meg. That up to this day, he wants to do something good to another being even at the price of his own life.
"The Girl Next Door" is not a film for everyone. Controversial and disturbing to its core, the film will no doubt offend a lot of viewers but if you look at the subtle messages instead of the graphic scenes, viewers will learn to appreciate what the film's premise is all about. This film is an unrelenting look at human horror that will stay with the viewer for a long time to come. Forget monsters, vampires, demons and werewolves, the scariest thing may just be occurring right next door...
Recommended timidly. The film is of such disturbing nature that only the most timid recommendation may be given. [4 ½ stars]

Thicke trying to get back on track
9:45am Friday 28th February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Robin Thicke has said he is trying to win his wife Paula Patton back after their split, and has gone back on tour.
The Blurred Lines singer cancelled tour dates recently when it was announced that he and Paula had split after nine years, and he apparently flew out to Vancouver, where she is filming Warcraft, to try to change her mind.
Robin, who flew into Virginia to resume his tour, has now told a TMZ photographer that he is hoping to work things out, saying: "I'm just trying to get her back."
Asked if he was planning on getting back into focussing on his music, Robin replied: "I'm just trying to figure it out."
Robin, 36, and actress Paula, 38, announced their separation after nine years of marriage on February 24.
They said in a statement: "We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
This week Robin posted a thank you note to his fans on his website, saying: "I want to thank everyone for the well wishes these last few days. My fans mean everything to me. I'm looking forward to getting back on out on the road and performing in Washington DC this Thursday, and the rest of the tour. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!"

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Great route for the grade. Starts on a small roof; pulling over the edge leads to vertical climbing to anchors. Crux is beneath the first bolt so bring a stick clip. A spotter through the first section is helpful to keep a climber from hitting their back on the boulder directly behind the first moves in the event of a fall.
South-facing side. Second-to-last route in the canyon. Fifteen yards west of Hair Today Gone Tomorrow.
Four bolts to two-bolt anchor.

WICOMICO Co., Md. - We're following a developing story out of Wicomico County.
Police say they've uncovered a major drug trafficking ring. Here's what we know so far - The operation spanned beyond the tri-county area and involved cocaine, marijuana, heroin and prescription pills. We're told a grand jury has indicted 39 people on several charges for their alleged involvement, and that 15 suspects appeared in court on Thursday for bond hearings. Police say they expect to make more arrests. This has been a year long investigation that started with the Maryland State Police lead narcotics task force. The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, the Salisbury Police Department and DEA all have officers assigned to the task force.

QEP Idea
The dedicated construction and technology teams are still hard at work completing the final phases of creation for the new Scobee Education Center on the San Antonio College campus. After nearly two years of development and construction, the majestic Charles E. Cheever Jr. Star Tower rises over the surrounding landscape to welcome visitors to our new facility and provide for our new state-of-the-art observation tower and star party observation deck. The historic planetarium which has served thousands of San Antonians for the past fifty years has been completely renovated to comfortably transport the next generation of star gazers into the heavens. Its expanded aluminized dome glistens in the sunlight on the outside of the complex, while a model of the Challenger silently soars over the recognizable white dome on the building interior dramatically illuminated by transformative lighting. The Scobee Education Center includes a new member to our celestial family as the Challenger Center, formerly located at Brooks Air Force Base, opens with a design unique to San Antonio. Teams will take the roles of station and mission control crews as they enter simulators designed to transport the participants into the future. Applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills through teamwork and creative problem-solving scenarios will afford unique and memorable experiences to enhance lifelong learning in these important career fields. The Scobee Education Center will hold its Grand Opening ceremonies on October 3, 2014 with free public planetarium programs that afternoon and throughout the day on Saturday, October 4th. Look to this web site and your area news outlets for more information as the date approaches. **Special note: The Scobee Education Center at San Antonio College is temporarily closed for renovations and construction until the fall of 2014. The Mt. San Antonio College Randall Planetarium is located in California and not associated with the Scobee education Center in San Antonio, TX.

Decor is of course subjective, one man's bling is another's luxury, but in general it was so vulgar and 'in your face' that I am only glad there was nobody I knew on board. Italians are renowned for style, but on this boat, they had no style left, so made it vulgar instead. In the 'luxury' restaurant, the ceiling was made of some plastic disks; it looked seriously stupid - was it designed by an illiterate child?
It was our 5th cruise and all-in-all, it was a horrible experience; the other four were all good, including one from the same overall group. It is a pity to complain about Costa after the Italian tragedy, but how they can justify such rapacious greed is beyond me. Do they not think how it puts people off them?
At ports where you could not wander off by yourself and you did not go on their tours, they mainly charged for a coach to get you to the nearest town. We went on two tours and they were VERY expensive and really bad. One tour guide spent most of the time explaining how badly he was paid and how he needed tips to live. Even if true, it is not what I want to hear. He also got many of his facts totally wrong, so it was not worth the cost. On the other, they had a guide who spent most time speaking Spanish - not English as advertised.
Is it worth re-naming the boats Costa Capone 1, Costa Capone 2 etc.? If you are going to "stick it" to the customers let them know in advance.
I cannot think of any redeeming feature on the cruise - except we got back alive. We hated it!!!

At this year's celebration of national Banned Books Week, local artists will reimagine the covers of banned or threatened literature and display their work at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library — while a man lives 24/7 in its plate-glass window, in a "prison" of banned books.
Right here in the United States, books are still being challenged and banned. Censorship is alive and well, which is why the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library reminds us of its dangers during national Banned Books Weeks, Sept. 22-30 this year.
Parents are the No. 1 initiator of challenges to books, and they appear to fear sex more than bad language or violence. Since 1990, parents have issued nearly 3,200 challenges because of sexual explicitness, and more than 2,600 for offensive language.
Local writer Hugh Vandivier — who has interviewed Kurt Vonnegut — will be "Locked Up With Vonnegut," living in the library for the week. He's also curating "Banned Books Recovered," an invitational art show and sale.
Other events include:
• First Amendment Film Fest — The Vonnegut Library will screen "Slaughterhouse-Five," the 1972 film based on the novel; "Howl," with James Franco as Allen Ginsberg; and "Good Night and Good Luck" with George Clooney, about censorship in the early days of TV news.
• "Corrupting Our Kids: The Attack on YA Literature" Discussion by Chris Finan, author and president of American Booksellers for Free Expression.
• "Hugh's Bedtime Stories" — local and national artists, writers, and celebrities will read to Vandivier from banned books.
Leading up to the week, performance artist Tim Youd of Los Angeles will type Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions in its entirely on one single sheet of paper, using the same model of typewriter the author used. As he types, Youd will read the text aloud.
Some programs are made possible by a grant from the Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund, a part of the Freedom to Read Foundation.
All events will be free to the public, and the library will remain open until 7 p.m. (later on movie nights) during Banned Books Week (including Wednesday, its usual closing day).
Visit the website VonnegutLibrary.org or call 652-1954 for more information about events or to donate to the Banned Books Week Fund to support this program at the Vonnegut Library.

The Tri-City Americans are six games into their preseason schedule. They have a 1-5-0-0 record, but with several young players still in camp, general manager Bob Tory hasnt been focused on the wins and losses.
We want to give the young players more experience, Tory said. We would like to get our numbers down quicker, but we have to have enough players to finish the preseason and we are still evaluating our 20-year-olds.
The Americans, who play at Spokane tonight and host the Chiefs on Saturday, trimmed their roster Monday, reassigning three players, including overage forward Tyson Dallman.
Dallman, who played two seasons with the Americans, was reassigned to the West Kelowna Warriors of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League.
In 88 games with the Americans, Dallman had three goals, 12 assists and 80 penalty minutes.
Forward Austyn Playfair, 16, will return to the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes of the Tier 1 Elite League, while forward Maxwell James, 16, is headed to the Kamloops Storm of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
The Americans still have 30 players in camp three goalies, 18 forwards and nine defensemen.
Coach Jim Hiller welcomed back forward Connor Rankin from the Pittsburgh Penguins camp this week, but goalie Eric Comrie (Winnipeg Jets), and defensemen Zach Yuen (Toronto Maple Leafs) and Michal Plutnar (Detroit Red Wings) have yet to return.
Rankin is the Americans top returning scorer from last season with 32 goals and 26 assists, while Yuen led the defensemen in scoring with nine goals and 36 assists.
With just two preseason games remaining, Hiller gave his take on what he has seen so far from his team.
Impressed with: What we have seen, is a solid work ethic from our veteran players, which always is the most important thing in the preseason because the younger players coming into the league need to know what that standard looks like. Im very please with that so far.
Not so pleased with: Its preseason, but weve been sloppy. The finer details of the game are so important and often times get overlooked. We have a couple games we have lost, that just based on really small attention to detail, we could have won. That importance of that is brought up again every year. The young players have to understand that, and the veteran players have to make sure they are buying in.
Rookies: We have a lot of young players and they have pushed hard. Even the last few days, the guys weve sent home, they really impressed. It has been very competitive for ice time. Not a lot of players have separated themselves from others and thats a reason so many of them are still here. Theres still some battles for positions.
Overage players: We dont know what is going on with Zach, hes still out in Toronto and doing well. Mitch (Topping), Phil (Tot) and Jessey (Astles) all bring something unique and thats important to any team. If Zach does come back, there will be a really tough decision later down the line. You always hate to see good players (Yuen) leave that have had great careers, whether it be by age or turning pro, but that is their dream and we are always happy when they achieve that goal.
Goaltending: Its really clear that Eric is our No. 1 goalie, provided we get him back. Both Troy (Trombley) and Evan (Sarthou) have played better lately. They got off to a little bit of a slow start. It doesnt matter who you are or what position you play, because the game changes in a hurry. You always have to play well, or make the effort to play well. Thats a message for not only the goalies, but everyone in the room.

The Coin Analyst: China's Gold Policy and Alleged U.S. Government Suppression of Gold Prices
by Louis Golino for Coin Week
On September 3 the financial web site, ZeroHedge , ran an important story on a U.S. government memo recently made available by WikiLeaks that is from the U.S. Embassy in China and which deals with China's gold policy (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/wikileaks-discloses-reasons-behind-chinas-shadow-gold-buying-spree).
This document is eliciting interest among gold analysts, who feel it is very bullish for the outlook for gold, though it has not been covered in the mainstream press as far as I know.
It shows that China's goal is to keep increasing its gold reserves and acquiring as much gold as it can to help drive the price higher and higher with the ultimate purpose of ending the U.S. dollar's reserve currency status.
China is the largest gold producer and buyer in the world. It has long sought to have the dollar replaced by a new international currency centered on the Chinese Renminbi.
Ending the dollar's reserve currency status would be a severe blow to the U.S. economy, which may help explain why U.S. officials get worried when gold hits new highs.
Particularly when combined with the recent downgrading of our debt by S&P, this action would cost the taxpayer dearly because it would end up sharply increasing the cost of financing our growing national debt.
At the moment investors still have an appetite for U.S. treasuries despite the recent downgrade, but an eventual loss of the dollar's reserve position, if it happened, combined with interest rates that simply have to increase at some point, does not bode well.
According to Chinese sources, as quoted in the leaked U.S. government memo, "The U.S. and Europe have always suppressed the rising price of gold. They intend to weaken gold's function as an international reserve currency. They don't want to see other countries turning to gold reserves instead of the U.S. dollar or Euro. Therefore, suppressing the price of gold is very beneficial for the U.S. in maintaining the U.S. dollar's role as the international reserve currency. China's increased gold reserves will thus act as a model and lead other countries towards reserving more gold."
This key passage from the memo adds a new twist to old allegations of U.S. government suppression of gold prices.
About a year ago I first became familiar with the argument that the U.S. government regularly acts in conjunction with large banks involved in the gold trade to suppress the price of gold.
Many precious metals analysts including Patrick Heller, who also owns the largest coin and bullion dealership in Michigan, have been making this case for several years.
Their basic argument is that the price of gold is a kind of report card on the U.S. government's handling of the economy, and that rising gold prices are viewed as a negative development by U.S. government officials.
According to this perspective, when gold begins to rise in price very sharply, the U.S. government works with large American banks such as J.P. Morgan to suppress the increase in prices by having those financial institutions increase their gold shorts.
I was initially suspicious of this argument because I felt that fluctuations in the price of gold were more likely explained by demand and supply fundamentals, profit taking when prices peak, reactions to margin requirement increases, etc.
But over time, I have learned that there may be something to the suppression argument. There are times when price developments in precious metals, including the gold and silver markets in particular, seem hard to explain by the fundamentals.
In addition, Mr. Heller and others have explained that frequent margin increases, as occurred in the spring to bring silver back down to the low $30 range after briefly surpassing the $50 level in late April, are a favorite suppression tactic.
Last year some evidence did come to light on silver price suppression as a result of an investigation by the CFTC (Commodities Futures Trading Commission). Comments from CFTC member Bart Chilton, and some e-mails from a former British metals trader turned whistleblower named Andrew Maguire, supported the notion that silver prices are suppressed. Although I have not heard of similar evidence about gold price suppression, that does not mean it does not exist.
So with this background in mind, the leaked memo is especially interesting.
If it is true that China's mania for gold is partly driven by a desire to end the dollar's reserve status as well as the need to diversify from dollar-denominated debt, which seems likely, and if it is also true that the U.S. government has worked for years to suppress the price of gold, then the chances of gold surpassing $2,000 and more are much higher.
As the author of the ZeroHedge piece, Tyler Durden, suggests, gold could surpass $5,000 an ounce once this information about China is more widely known, and provided it leads pension fund managers to make substantial investments in gold. At the moment, only one-third of one percent of pension funds are invested in gold, according to Shayne McGuire author of a 2010 book called "Hard Money: Taking Gold to a Higher Investment Level."
Barry Stuppler's prediction in a Wall Street Journal piece a couple years ago that gold would hit $2011 by 2011 is looking like a distinct possibility despite the bearish predictions of the anti-gold crowd, who continue to say it is in a bubble and headed for a major fall.
The signs do seem to point towards an ongoing rally in gold. It could be due for another correction, but I suspect it would be short-lived like the one a couple weeks ago since the fundamentals supporting gold continue to look very strong.
The more mainstream analysts and publications keep pushing the view that gold is a bubble despite all the evidence that shows how under-invested most individuals and pension funds are in gold, the more I am inclined to side with the bulls.

The developments of the past couple days in gold prices are extremely interesting. There have been several bullish developments esp. the Swiss deciding to devalue their currency to help their exporters, which basically eliminates the Swiss franc as a safe haven, leaving only gold, Treasuries and maybe the Swedish and Norwegian currencies. Yet gold has sold off about $100.
What do others think of this? Could it be an example of price manipulation? Or just profit taking?
Good article, Louis!
A great reference on what has happened over the past decade are the articles posted by Adrian Douglas. In fact, Patrick Heller frequently references Mr. Douglas. The link to Douglas's website is:
Some really well thought-out information and articles over the past several years which shows you how we got to where we are now.
The Fed has a vested interest in keeping gold prices down. Over the past 2-3 years, they have started losing control. Toss in QE1, QE2, etc., holding interest rates at zero, obama/congress spending spree, and I actually find these obviousness of these sell-offs kind of humorous. The fact that the MSM is ignoring the entire thing should be screaming to people that we are really up a serious proverbial creek without a paddle.
The illusion/facade of the dollar as a "quality" reserve currency is becoming grander and grander every day. The Chinese, Russia, Brazil, India, Saudia Arabia and even the reserve banks are all buying gold now. Venezuela is repatriating their gold from across the globe, and I imagine many other countries will soon be doing the same. The Chinese have successfully used our greed (should I say our politician's greed) against us, and the bill is going to come due very soon. My only question is how much gold is there in Ft. Knox and how much of it do we (the USA) own?
The wealth of any country is not how much gold or silver it has, but rather what its manufacturing capabilities are.
In 1960, the much adored, womanizing JFK opened the import door to six percent of all manufactured goods sold in the United States.
First it was Japan with its binoculars, radios, cameras, watches, televisions, and other nick knacks.
Then the so-called Auto Union leaders said, "If you sell here, build here". That is exactly what the Japanese did, they built here, but they did not manufacture here. There is not ONE Japanese vehicle made in the United States, they are all made in Japan; some are shipped in, showroom ready, while the rest arrive in kit form ready to be assembled by farmers and little old ladies.
There is not a single Japanese steel rolling mill, foundry, casting plant, tool and die shop, engine or transmission plant, model shop, or metal stamping plant in the United States, those 'real jobs' are all in Japan.
With each succeeding U.S. President, the import door was opened just a little more until it was removed from its hinges and thrown away to accommodate so-called U.S. manufactures who exported the U.S. jobs and imported items from overseas, all made at slave level wages.
In less than a single generation, the greatest transfer of wealth in all of human history took place.
During the 1950s, the United States was the World's biggest lender, today it is standing with a beggar's bowl mooching China's spare change.
Many new millionaires and billionaires were created in Japan, China, AND the United States, all in payment for destroying the once mighty American Manufacturing Base.
Today,there is virtually nothing made here. When was the last time anyone has seen a Made in the U.S.A. label on anything?
Then we have the "geniuses" in Washington puzzled over the high unemployment figures…. The answer is obvious you effing morons, THE JOBS HAVE ALL BEEN EXPORTED!
To paraphrase a couple of lines from an old Jacobite song written at the time when the "nobility" of Scotland were given money to close the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh and unite it with England, even though the people of Scotland was against such a move to the point where there were riots in the streets that had to be put down by armed troops.
"Their country was sold for foreign gold,
Oh, what a parcel of rogues in a nation".

Installing MySQL on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I'm reading PHP & MySQL Novice to Ninja (5th edition).
I've installed MySQL in Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) but when I go to the terminal (following instructions in Appendix A) and write:
"sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe", I get this message:
"WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
And I didn't continue.
The version of MySQL that I've downloaded is "Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive" and my processor is 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7.
Previously I installed XAMPP and worked fine and then uninstalled it by moving it to the bin.

That's just a warning, to let you know, that you are executing command as root. I think it pops up only first time when using sudo, later on it should only request the password. To start mysql, you should continue and enter the password.

A man is hurt after he's hit by a car outside a Tulsa business and another placed under arrest for the incident Friday morning.
Tulsa Police arrested Blayne Carver for his part in a hit-and-run incident around 2 a.m. Friday. He was booked on a non-domestic assault with a deadly weapon charge and leaving the scene with property damage charge.
According to the police report, officers were called to the Blush nightclub near 61st and Memorial in reference to a hit-and-run in the parking lot. Officers at the scene told KTUL.com that an argument between another man and Carver lead to him hitting him with his SUV and fleeing the scene.
After the altercation Carver was stopped by security and held until TPD arrived. The other man was transported to an area hospital with an injury to his leg.
Officers did not think his injuries were life threatening.
Carver was arrested at the scene and transported to the Tulsa County Jail. He is due in court next week.

Commercial lender bullish on Boulder market
So says Charles Holmes, a 30-year bank veteran in the Boulder market and head honcho of Centennial Bank's Boulder office at 2500 Broadway.
Since opening a little more than a year ago, the Boulder bank branch has made $36 million in loans in the local market and now has more than $7 million in deposits. That's ahead of where the bank projected it would be just 15 months after opening.
Holmes continues to be bullish on the Boulder-area commercial real estate market. He says he has watched local trends long enough to know what the market will support in terms of lease rates that might seem high to bankers in Minneapolis, Chicago or even downtown Denver.
"They don't quite get the market. We accept that and move on," Holmes said.
Centennial's sweet spot is lending to customers who need $500,000 to $5 million — an estimated 80 percent of the companies in Boulder, Holmes said.
So far, the bank has raised about 20 percent of its capital from the community, Holmes said, a good thing for any bank.
Centennial Bank's Denver-based parent holding company CIC Bancshares Inc. merged with Edwards-based Millennium Bancorp Inc. in August, giving the combined operation about $400 million in assets and nine branches. Centennial Bank is the name on all of the banks.
A 'fractional CFO'
If you're a small but rapidly growing company looking for funds or having just received funds in that just-mentioned "sweet spot," you might not have enough work to hire a full-time chief financial officer.
But if your company has about $5 million in financing, you likely need a controller or other financial person who can account for where the money is going.
That's where Chris Schwalbach's firm, AVL Growth Partners, comes in. Schwalbach is a founder and managing partner of the firm, which has offices in Louisville and in Minneapolis.
AVL wants to offer you a "fractional CFO" – a person who can do work for your company when you need it and go to work for someone else when you don't. That person can do accounting services, controller services or other financial services, depending on your company needs.
Schwalbach knows his market. Using the "fractional CFO" strategy, AVL has experienced 200 percent growth in revenue year over year, and has grown from seven members in 2012 to 18 now.
Several of AVL's startup customers are companies that have graduated from the Boulder TechStars business incubator program and have successfully raised venture capital.
When the companies start scrambling to keep up with their finances, Schwalbach is there to help. Schwalbach compares his "fractional CFO" plan to how most companies use lawyers – only large companies hire full-time, in-house legal help.
"We keep reading things about the 'shared economy,' 'shared office space' and 'shared servers,' but this hasn't been done very efficiently in the accounting arena," Schwalbach said.
Some of the companies AVL works with read like a Who's Who in the local startup world, including Mocavo Inc., a Boulder company that makes genealogy-database software, Flixmaster Inc., a Boulder company that makes software to help users work on interactive videos, and Graphicly Inc., a Boulder company that makes software so users can share comic books online and on mobile devices. Some other customers include Workwell Occupational Medicine in Longmont, Simple Energy LLC in Boulder, JustRight Surgical LLC in Boulder, and VMO Systems Inc. in Boulder.
Help for older adults
A new financial resource tool, Money Smart for Older Adults, is offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The free training program directed at people age 62 and older. The goal is to make folks aware of potential financial exploitation, to help them plan for secure financial futures and to help them make informed financial decisions.
It makes sense that as more seniors are targeted in financial scams, there's a way to educate them.
"Each year millions of senior citizens are targeted for financial exploitation," Martin J. Gruenberg, chairman of the FDIC, said in a press statement. "This program will provide a new resource to help older adults avoid being victims of this type of elder abuse."
The training information is available online at the FDIC website at http://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/moneysmart/OlderAdult.html.
For a printed copy of some of the material, go to the CFPB website and download the material at http://promotions.usa.gov/cfpbpubs.html.

The Ravens had a need for a fast, veteran wide receiver. Their GM, Ozzie Newsome is in the solutions business.
Welcome to Baltimore, Lee Evans.
The acquisition of Evans signals the Ravens are not retreating, even after making some tough cuts early in the offseason. Among the culled was TE Todd Heap, whose departure weakened the passing game.
To me, the Ravens don't look quite as strong as they did a season ago, but the Evans move was a lift — and a reminder that Newsome moves stealthily, decisively and smartly.
So, I don't count out the Ravens, for that would be foolish, but time is of the essence for the talented veteran core that has made them so formidable for so long. MLB Ray Lewis is 36. FS Ed Reed, bothered by injuries the past two seasons, turns 33 on Sept. 11, the day of the season opener.
Their division rivals, Pittsburgh, have some of the same issues. The Steelers' starting defensive linemen are all older than 30. The playmaking inside linebacker, James Farrior, is 36. WR Hines Ward, an all-time all-around player at his position, is 35.
Waiting in the wings for the Steelers, however, are a couple of talented receivers who eventually will have bigger roles — Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. Brown made the decisive catch in the Steelers' comeback playoff win against the Ravens last January and has followed that with a fine summer.
The Steelers' offense can cause fits for defenses when it spreads the field. But their defense has had its issues defending that kind of attack, too. Re-signing 31-year-old CB Ike Taylor was a priority for Pittsburgh. Now the attention is turned to avoiding the poor stretches of play that doomed them in 2006 and '09, the last two times they missed the postseason. With QB Ben Roethlisberger in his prime, the defense stout and the roster a nice mix of old and new, the Steelers would appear to be AFC contenders now and in the near future.
Perhaps Baltimore can fit that bill, too — formidable today and tomorrow. The addition of Evans helps QB Joe Flacco, who throws a nice deep ball and has developed nicely in his first three seasons. It also can't hurt rookie WR Torrey Smith, an intriguing talent with excellent speed. RB Ray Rice, drafted in the same class with Flacco, is already a standout.
The defense doesn't have quite as much young talent as the offense does, but first-round CB Jimmy Smith could be a key building block in the secondary. Can he help the Ravens match up with potent passing games better?
To win the AFC, not to mention winning the Super Bowl, you have to be stouter vs. the pass than the Ravens were a season ago. Several NFC powers have strong air attacks. Surely you remember Green Bay taking apart Pittsburgh's secondary in Super Bowl XLV.
The Ravens have won at least one playoff game in each of the past three seasons but have no Super Bowl trips to show for it. In each of those years, they have been a wild card. Here is a team that can play with anyone — and believes as much; the Evans move is not one a rebuilding squad makes — but the Ravens could use a home playoff game one of these years. Think those two games vs. Pittsburgh this season will lack for intensity and meaning?

My brother Edwin.
I grew up as "an only child," but not the only child. There had been two other children—Helena, three years older, and Edwin, two years younger—but my parents never spoke of them. I did not know how they died, only that it had happened when I was very young and there was an unspoken understanding that I was forbidden to talk or ask any questions about them.
My sister Helena.
For some time my father was also in a hospital. When he was discharged, he did not come to live with us, as my mother feared he might still have "germs." Several years later, he did move into our apartment, but slept in his own bedroom and ate from separate dishes and cutlery kept in a special cupboard.
My mother was forever worrying that I might catch germs. I was not allowed to share drinks or food with anyone; borrow books from the library or trade comics with a neighbor's child; sleep over at a friend's; or go to camp—all because of germs. I didn't question the restrictions. It was simply the way it was.
Eventually, my parents purchased a small house in the Toronto suburbs. They stored all of our family photos in a chest in the basement. Often I sifted through pictures, among them images of my brother and sister. But in 1954, during Hurricane Hazel, our house was flooded and all the photos destroyed. The only tangible records of my siblings were obliterated.
In high school I developed a strong sense of independence. At age 20 I married Peter. By the time I turned 29, we had three daughters: Robin, Jodi, and Ashley. I so wanted to be able to name them in memory of my brother and my sister, but I felt afraid. Helena and Edwin's deaths were still too much of a mystery.
My father died in 1975 at the age of 66. Twenty years later, I became the sole caretaker of my mother during the last year of her life. The weight of responsibility for her care became almost more than I could bear, and a longing arose in me for the siblings who might have shared the burden with me. I asked members of my extended family—aunts, uncles, cousins—to tell me about Helena and Edwin. My questions were met mostly with blank stares, as if my sister and brother had never existed. Finally, an older cousin shared a memory of his parents whispering about the terrible tragedy that had befallen my family. He confided that he too was raised to be afraid of germs, never being allowed to share food, play sports, or sleep at friends' houses.
Not until 1995 did I learn when Helena and Edwin had died. At my request, the owner of a Jewish funeral home in Toronto searched through the microfiche reader to find their dates of death and place of burial. Excited, I drove out to the cemetery and presented the information to the office attendant. After a brief search, he explained apologetically that burial records from those years had been destroyed in a fire. He could only point me to the section of unmarked graves where they had to have been buried—the section set aside for poor members of the Jewish community who, like us, could not afford to pay for burial plots.
It wasn't until 1996, when I packed up my mother's apartment after she died, that I found the answers I had yearned for all my life. In a drawer was a journal entry my 70-year-old mother had written for a Psychology course at York University titled "The Worst Time of My Life." She wrote, in part: "I was married in 1936 and six and a half years later, I had two daughters and an infant son. My husband developed tuberculosis, a fatal lung disease, and was hospitalized for five years. During the first few months of his hospitalization, my oldest daughter, not quite 5 years old, was also diagnosed with TB…which she had contracted from my husband. This beautiful, intelligent child was hospitalized for several months and then passed away. I can still hear her cry, 'Mommy, why can't I go home with you?' At almost the same time, my infant son developed the fatal disease as well and passed away three months later." In that same drawer were two water-damaged photographs—one of a bright-eyed, chubby-faced little girl and one of an infant lying naked on a blanket in the sun.
Now I knew why I had been so protected as a child, and why my parents had never talked about my brother and my sister. My parents couldn't face the terrible shanda of tuberculosis, a highly contagious disease for which there was no cure. If you had TB, people feared and avoided you. My mother and father were frightened of being shunned by everyone.
It was only after her death that my mother could "talk" to me about Helena, Edwin, and the ordeal she had lived through.
For years I continued the family tradition of keeping our family story hidden, except from my husband and daughters. While TB was no longer a health threat in North America, in my mind it remained the unmentionable shanda of my childhood conditioning—a secret never to be discussed with anyone.
Finally, in 2009 I experienced some comfort and closure. My daughter Jodi and son-in-law Jack funded the creation and installation of a 14-foot-tall menorah at the entrance of their synagogue outside Toronto. It is inscribed: "In memory of Helena and Edwin Lipson." My sister and brother now had a lasting memorial to their brief lives—a resting place for their neshamas (souls).
That Chanukah, the congregation arranged for a formal dedication of the Lipson Menorah, and Jodi and Jack decided to host a dinner afterwards. Initially, I was reluctant to invite my friends. None of them knew about the shanda I had kept hidden throughout my life. But with Jodi's encouragement, I agreed to invite several old friends who had known me since childhood as well as a number of couples from our temple.
At the dinner I stood before everyone and told my story. They were stunned—and then embraced me with tears and love and understanding. At that moment I realized that revealing the truth to my friends had set me free. The dedication became my liberation.
Still, the specter of shame reemerged as I began to write this story for RJ magazine. Sharing the shanda of tuberculosis with friends had been difficult enough; could I risk exposing my secret publicly? And yet, I realized: This is an important opportunity to help others open their locked doors of shame.
I now believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Only when we find the courage to push beyond fear and shame can we discover its purpose. Composing these words, like seeing the lit candles on the Lipson Menorah, is an affirmation: shandas are not forever.Marlene Myerson, a member of Temple Emanu-El in Toronto, serves as a Curriculum Consultant for URJ Books and Music.

All 50 of Boeing's 787 fleet had been grounded due to battery failures and other glitches. Other topics included reducing driver distraction and the use of in-vehicle technology to reduce highway deaths. When asked about rumors that she was among the candidates to replace Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood, she said she was focused on her current position. close

Gallery pops up again for Christmas
2:00pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News
A RINGWOOD art gallery has taken on an empty shop unit at Fridays Cross in the run up to Christmas for the second year running.
Bettles Gallery is now open and showcasing work of national and local media and ceramic artists.
Gill Bettle said: "It is amazing to see the various ways in which clay can be transformed into sculptural shapes. Work from potters Mike Braisher, Colin Jones and David Rogers from the New Forest area, John Maltby, Jeremy Nichols, Nick Rees and Jack Doherty with international reputations, and Ostinelli and Priest with their sculptural animals give the broadest view of the possibilities.
"Painters Martyn Brewster, Teresa Lawton, Sheila Goodman, Tony Scrivener and Roger Bettle are all given wall space, so the choice is varied."
The gallery is open in Christchurch Road until Christmas Eve, 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday.

Now we've got one word to say to you. Woof.
Oh hello, what's this all about?*
It's possibly our biggest man-crush, porn star Francoi Sagat, getting down and dirty on a yoga ball. Amazing.
Even without all the filthy mucky videos from Titan and Falcon, we totally got hard when he dressed up as britney spears in roller skates and was rolling around the floor. Why don't more porn stars have a sense of humour? He's done clowns, mime artists, all sorts of arty wank and something to do with zombies involving Bruce LaBruce. And he looks beyond cute, cleaning his teeth singing. Just imagine waking up to this the next morning:
anyway the reason for this gush is beccause he will be at Circus'ssss'e's FOURTH BIRTHDAY. Lady dame Jody of Harshes's' party. Sagat will be on a go-go box and says she, "He promises to leave little to the imagination."
Basically, what we're being offered here is a quick look at his knob, in the flesh, in or possibly out of time to some good music.
There are other details to this party, Jody Harsh will DJ, Scottee blahblahblah, a Mister called Hudson, but all you need to know is FRANCOIS WILL BE THERE, it's on Saturday 3rd of April, somewhere in Centre Point 103 New Oxford St (queue at the corner of St Giles High Street) and you get your pre-sale-eager-beaver ticket from thisiscircus.com
Dunno about you, but we're off for a wank.
*you really have to have watched Big Girls Blouse to get that, but it's worth it, best. sketch. ever.
