One Broad Financial's new cable ads featuring the Broadscrapers!
The guys acapella rock the national anthem. Is this the start of something big? Hmmm…..
She's looking for the back door. (So is he.)
Broadscrapers Profile: Stephen Tyler Davis (a.k.a. The Chrysler Building)Mr. Davis hails from the deep South which means that he has an incredible creative vision (ala Faulkner, Presley, and Tennessee Williams), but you still can't understand a word in regular conversation. You may have caught him in one of his many productions as Artistic Director for While We Wait Productions, or even as a singing hologram at Ripley's. Meanwhile, the Broadscrapers revel in his incredible leading vocals and indubitable cheeriness. (We actually just want to hear him say the word "indubitable".)
When the news photographer himself wants a picture, who's left holding the camera?

We have to get the ACLU on the case. This park entrance is clearly discriminatory to buildings.

Looking for advice on how to lower the Jerk or combo movements of Push Press+Jerk better? I don't have the healthiest shoulders, so lowering back to me instead of blocks puts a beating on my shoulders. I understand the eccentric portion and strength gains, but at what cost? After my workout I may have shoulder discomfort and shoulder pain for several days. Right now I do OH work 3 days a week with a day in between each. (maybe too much volume too?) Day 1 is Jerk for 6 sets of 2. Day 2 is Push Press+Jerk for 6 sets of 4 total reps (3PP+Jerk). Day 3 is ClnJrk for 6 total sets. 5 sets are increasing doubles with last set a heavy single. I welcome any and all advice. Thanks in advance.

D.I.Y. Decor: Recycled Wood Pallet Shelf
I acquired this great wood pallet several months ago, courtesy of an alley somewhere in northwest Chicago. Like the unabashed d.i.y. nut I am, I stopped the bus on my way home from work to salvage my treasure––and then got right back on the bus. Luckily I was too busy thinking about what I was going to do with my pallet to notice all the strange looks I was getting.
I finally decided to make a shelf out of it for the wall above my sewing machine. To make it work with the room's clean, bright, and rustic-chic style, I painted it white with a single, thin coat, which lets the wood show through a bit for a distressed look.

PORTAGE | Three Portage High School students were recently recognized for their works of art in the 2013 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.
Jullian Stodola will be traveling to New York City with art teacher Kara Rupcich to receive the New York Life Scholarship Award from the group during a national ceremony at Carnegie Hall on May 31.
Stodola's photograph, "Above the Water," was first entered into the Scholastic Art Show in South Bend where she received a Gold Key Award. The artwork was later judged in New York City where she received the scholarship.
The photograph, said Rupcich, is a negative sandwich in which two negatives were placed on top of one another within the enlarger and then developed in the darkroom.
"She is an incredible girl. She is very hardworking and has a great artistic eye," Rupcich said about Stodola.
In addition to Stodola, two other Portage High students received silver medals for their works.
Devyn Cooper received her medal for her jewelry piece entitled "Vintage Roots" and Dana Dutcher received a medal for her watercolor painting "Through the Looking Glass."
Rupcich said both Cooper and Dutcher also qualified to attend the national event at Carnegie Hall and are presently on a waiting list for tickets.
More than 230,000 submissions were received in 28 categories with more than 1,600 students from across the country receiving national medals.

The state of the loss prevention industry: 2012 update
Both apprehensions and recovery dollars from shoplifters, dishonest employees rose in 2011
• Have employees walk the sales floor: Keep visible, and keep displays neat and organized (so missing items can be more easily noticed).
• Have good sight lines on the sales floor: Do not block the view of high-value and highly popular items, and keep these items near employee work areas.
• Limit items on sales floor: Limit the number of certain items (high-value, highly pilferable) placed on the sales floor. This will reduce vulnerability to large losses of these items and make it easier to identify missing items.
• Use technology: Such as EAS (electronic article surveillance), merchandise alarms, CCTV, ink/dye tags, product tie-downs, and bulky packaging. Also ensure policies/procedures regarding technology are adhered to.
• Know your merchandise: Especially highly popular items, high value items, what's stolen most often and what's easily stolen. Study why items are taken, evaluate their locations and packaging – then make changes.
Internal Theft:
• Effective pre-employment screening process: The first step to controlling employee theft starts at the point-of-hire; do not hire the "bad apple." A thorough pre-employment screening process including, reference checks, "honesty testing," SSN trace/verification, criminal background checks, and drug testing is most important. Money spent up-front in the screening process to identify 'quality' employees will result in savings from reduced turnover and losses.
• POS exception monitoring: Use a POS exception based monitoring program to quickly identify possible fraudulent transactions at the point of sale (ie. excessive refunds or voids; refunds or voids before or after store hours; .etc.).
• Auditing for compliance: Ensure consistent compliance to company policies and procedures by conducting loss prevention/shrink audits on a regular basis. By reducing the opportunity, you reduce the chance of theft/loss.
• Training and awareness: Invest in loss prevention training and awareness programs for all employees, and a reward program for employees who report dishonest activities.
• "Back to Basics": Ensure "LP basics" are in place and adhered to at all times:
- Door controls (OH doors locked and exit doors alarmed)
- Trash controls (Monitored, supervised and dumpster locked)
- Package/bag checks (conduct whenever an employee exits the location)
- POS controls (two people witness and verify refunds and voids)

Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright (C) 1998-2005 by Troels Walsted Hansen, et al. Copyright (C) 2005-2014 by openurl.library Open Source Team This library was created to make it easier for application programmers to include clickable URLs in their applications, about windows, etc. Current solutions to this problem typically are to launch an ARexx script or just support a few webbrowsers, with no room for configuration. This leads to countless reinventions of the wheel (how many SendURLToBrowser.rexx scripts do you have on your harddisk?). This library solves the problem by giving application programmers a very simple API to handle (one function) and the user gets configurability with the included preferences program. OpenURL was originally developed by Troels Walsted Hansen, et al. Since 2005 it is developed by an independent open source developer group. It is released as a public domain software. OpenURL is available for OS3, OS4, MorphOS and AROS. The OpenURL project is hosted on SourceForge. Its project name is "openurllib". To report bugs use the bug tracker at http://sf.net/p/openurllib/ Manual Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Extract the archive to a temporary directory. > cd RAM: > lha x OpenURL.lha 2) Go to the "Binaries/<OS>" directory where <OS> is the directory matching the operating system you want to install OpenURL for: > cd OpenURL/Binaries/AmigaOS4 3) copy all files found in that <OS> directory to their respective directory. > copy ALL #?

He will instinctively lash out, and they will back up the bus and run over him again.

I'm over on my blog today talking about the movement that is taking place in Brazil and its implications for Brazil's marginalized communities.
This movement was started by people who have been historically denied access to public space, including people of color, the poor, members of the LGBTQ community and women. But now, for the first time in decades, Brazilians of all classes, genders, races and sexualities are learning what these people have always lived with.
Black Brazilians have long known the results of police brutality, watching as their young men are systematically killed through police or drug-related violence. Brazilian women are all too familiar with the fact that their presence in public space is often dictated by the men occupying it at the time. Queer and trans* people in Brazil risk their safety every time they leave the house as out members of the LGBTQ community.
Change is coming to Brazil. But it's up to us to change it into the Brazil we want. Will #changebrazil co-opt the movement into an attack on government corruption while ignoring the needs of the poor and marginalized who have been organizing for decades?
Because there are many movements in Brazil that were never "sleeping." Perhaps Brazil as a unified country is waking up, but women, queer people, indigenous groups, Afro-Brazilians and landless workers couldn't afford to take a nap.
For more on why this is also a women's movement and how to be an ally in the movement, check out the full post.

I've had good luck with the Block and Block Fusion. Also heard & read good things on the Spyderweb target.
Spyder web targets are one of the most expensive. The blob is another, then the block. We make most of our own. For the simple reason they all were out after a while of shooting. Except the Spyder web, but at the price of them who can afford them.
Mckenzie shot blocker and the black hole are a couple more layered foam targets. They will wear quick and sliver badly w bh's though.
Heard good things about Rinehart 18-1
Whatever you do, stay away from the $20 styrofoam target wrapped in a plastic covering. I got one at Dick's because I was new and didn't know any better, and after 40 shots I had pass throughs and had to go find the arrows in the grass behind the target. They also catch a lot of wind and blow around and fall over quite a bit.
yup i agree with u there money ,them dang things arent worth the plastic garbage bag there wrapped in when u get it , its a shoot it once throw away bag i have had pretty good luck with the block and red head brands they dont last forever , and its always good to keep a old one for a back up :)
you could make one i made one with old cotton clothing stuffed in a box stopps my arrows at 10 feet shooting a 400gr arrow at 318fps
You might also consider American Whitetail Archery Targets (http://www.archerytargets.com/). I bought one of their bag targets after talking with the owner and have not regretted it. It's filled with cloth pieces and stops arrows quite nicely and removing arrows is really easy. And if/when you put enough holes in the bag cover you can order a replacement cover, slip it over the old one and keep on using the target - you don't have to discard it and buy another. They also make a good and affordable, multiple density vertical layered foam target for broadheads that holds up well and doesn't shred badly.
What my friend and I have both used is the yellow bag you get at Wal-Mart. I believe it's a BushMaster. Deer's head on one side and 9 or 12 circles on the other. Cost is about $25 and are pretty durable. They've served us well with a lot of practice at 10-60yds.

Jarrod Lyle plays 18 holes in cancer recovery
Saturday - 4/6/2013, 8:10pm EDT
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Australian professional Jarrod Lyle has played 18 holes of golf for the first time in 14 months as he continues to recover from a second battle with leukemia.
The 31-year-old Lyle tweeted late Saturday that he was "absolutely knackered now after 75 hits at The Sands Torquay ... hit a couple goodies."
The Sands is a private ocean-side course a few hours' drive from his hometown of Shepparton, Victoria.
Lyle, who was first diagnosed with leukemia at age 17, learned it had returned in March 2012, shortly after the birth of his first child, a daughter.
He underwent chemotherapy and received a transplant of donor blood from umbilical cords.
He has said he hopes to return to the PGA Tour next year.

Does the Cloud Reduce Downtime?
Posted by Adnan Raja in Untagged
The word "downtime" is one that the customer of any hosting provider dreads to hear. It is used to explain the common occurrence in which a server or website hosted on that server is busy or unavailable as a result of scheduled maintenance or even a system failure. Any time a server is down, all the information you have stored on the server—whether it is an application, a website, or files—will also be down.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- The Florida Department of Health in Lee County is advising the public not to enter the water at Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach due to high levels of bacteria identified in routine testing. The city has closed the beach through the holiday weekend.
Tests completed today indicate that the water quality at the Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach does not meet the safety criteria for enterococcus bacteria recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Florida Department of Health. Water contact may pose an increased risk of disease, particularly for susceptible individuals.
-The Health Department recommends not swimming at Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach on the southeast end of Cape Coral.
Enterococcus bacteria normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The presence of an elevated concentration of these bacteria is an indicator of pollution, which may come from storm water runoff, pets, wildlife, or sewage.
Elevated levels of Enterococcus bacteria have been associated with an increased risk of swimming-associated gastroenteritis illness (diarrhea and abdominal pain).
This advisory will continue until bacteria levels are below the accepted EPA level. New test results should be available on Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach on Tuesday, July 9.
For more information go to www.leechd.com, then click on Beach Water Status, or contact the DOH-Lee Environmental Engineering office at (239) 274-2200 during regular business hours.

At Wistia, we love analytics. While ours are pretty sweet, there are lots of tools out there, like Google Analytics. While Wistia's analytics give you more in-depth information on video plays, putting basic 'video play' stats in Google Analytics can give you a better picture of your web visit metrics.
This guide is here to help you get started integrating Wistia video tracking with your Google Analytics account.
Google Analytics Lab
We realize that sometimes these things can get a bit complex, so to save you some time we built out the Google Analytics Lab. It actually does all of the stuff mentioned below for you! You can check it out here.
We strongly recommend this route if you're not looking for more than the video play, 25/50/75/100% watched, and turnstile conversion events.
If you are still committed to doing it yourself to code out some sweet other alerts, read on!
This lab also works with Universal Analytics, so no worries about compatibility there unless you've changed to a custom analytics variable other than
ga or
Before You Get Started
Make sure you have installed the Google Analytics tracking scripts. These are necessary for any custom tracking we do below.
It's worth noting that if you have Universal Analytics, things might be a bit different for you. In that case, you'll want to see this other Google help document where they explain how to set that one up.
If you currently have the pre-Universal Analytics version of Google Analytics setup, we recommend checking out the Universal Analytics Upgrade Center to get all the info you need to know about converting to the shiny new Universal Analytics style of things.
Modify Your Wistia Embed Codes
Integrating with Google Analytics is very simple thanks to the
Embed Shepherd.
All you need to do is paste this little snippet of code anywhere on your website,
preferably right before the
</body> tag (meaning at the bottom of your page's body).
You'll need to add the following code snippet to every page that contains a video you want to track. Or better yet, if you have a layout file or a footer that's shared across pages, just put it in there and you'll be good to go!
Due to changes made when Universal Analytics was released, you'll use different code depending on which version you use. The easiest way to do this is to see if you have the
_gaq or
ga variable defined on your website.
Pre-Universal Analytics snippet
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Post-Universal Analytics snippet
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
You'll notice that not only has the variable changed from
_gaq to
ga but that the format between Google Analytics and Universal Analytics is slightly different. Instead of using
.push([...]) you're using
ga('send', ...) to push along that data. Everything else stays the same!
What those snippets do
These snippets fire a 'Play' event to Google Analytics whenever a video on your website is played. They also fires a 'Complete' event when a viewer reaches the end of a video.
We only fire each of these events once per video per page load (that's what the
return this.unbind is for). So if a viewer plays and pauses a video over and
over again, we'll only send one play event to Google. Pretty cool.
You can extend what we've done here to pipe many more events to Google Analytics if you like. Take a look at the Player API to see what's possible.
Track viewing in Google Analytics Dashboard
Now that we have all the back-end coding out of the way, it's time to monitor how the videos are performing on your Analytics Dashboard.
The first step is to navigate to the Event Tracking section. Click the "Behavior" area of the left hand nav bar, and then select "Event Tracking" from the list. The Event Tracking section will show the total number of events, the average number of events per visit, and the Top Events. Select "Categories" to see just the video events.
The "Categories" events will now contain a "Video" section, which you defined in the Javascript earlier. Click "video" to drill into the specific event descriptions.
The "Video" section page will show the total number of plays and the total number of complete plays, which we defined in separate Javascript functions earlier. Click on "Play" or "Complete" to see the plays or completes for a specific video (if you have started tracking multiple videos through UA or GA).
The final drill down shows what specific video titles (defined in the javascript function above) were played.
Using Wistia and Google Analytics is a good way to get all your top-level video analytics data in the same place you already get your other website tracking information.


text: Posted Online: Oct. 04, 2013, 3:20 am Interfaith dialogues look for strangers Comment on this story By Leon Lagerstam, firstname.lastname@example.com Photo: Submitted Rabbi Tamar Grimm, left, gives a tour of the Tri-City Jewish Center's sanctuary during a women's interfaith dialogue presentation on Monday, Sept. 30. A second part of the annual event will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, at the center, 2715 30th St., Rock Island. ROCK ISLAND -- Jewish, Christian and Muslim women participating in an annual interfaith dialogue hope to turn strangers into good friends. "We want people to feel comfortable to sit with a Muslim woman who may be dressed differently than they are, or beside a Jewish woman who might look the same but go to a synagogue instead of to a Christian church," Sister Catherine Cleary said. "We go to the same parks, hospitals or medical clinics, schools and other community spots, and all three of our faiths are under the tent of Abraham." The eighth annual Jewish-Christian-Muslim Women's dialogue that opened Monday, Sept. 30, will continue at 7 p.m., Monday at the Tri-City Jewish Center, 2715 30th St., when participants will discuss community diversity and poverty issues, Sister Cleary said. For more information, call Sister Cleary at 309-283-2118. The theme of the two-part program is "Who is the Stranger." That's a perfect choice, because it fits into the ongoing immigration-reform issue and matches what Pope Francis has been saying about the importance of outreach, Sister Cleary said. "The Quad-Cities has drawn multiple people from other countries, and sometimes we feel we forget about them, and they feel like they are a stranger among us," she said. "And the Pope has made such an outreach to the Muslims to spread the word of love and mercy, and has challenged us to find new roads to step outside our typical journey and reach out to others, even to those who live out on the borders." It hearkens back to the 13th Century Pope Francis, Sister Cleary said. It was a time when the Pope decided to stop the crusades and traveled to Egypt to meet with the Sultan. After the meeting, the Pope announced that Christian and Muslim brothers no longer would participate in arguments and disputes, and Christian soldiers should begin a practice of ringing a bell and kneeling to pray, as their Muslim counterparts regularly did. The older Pope Francis called for the church to be "a home for all, not a chapel for select people," Sister Cleary said. The new Pope Francis is calling for much of the same. "The Quad-Cities interfaith women's dialogues provide a wonderful opportunity for people of all faiths to discuss topics of interest," Muslim community representative Dr. Lisa Killinger said. "What's unique is that it brings not only Christians and Jews together, but adds Muslims to the fold. When we have these discussions, we truly find more that unites us than divides us, and that's a powerful thing." Attendance has climbed from about 40 women at the first dialogue eight years ago to about 100, Sister Cleary said. Meetings have alternated between the Jewish Center, St Mary's Monastery in Rock Island and the Moline mosque, she said. "Practically speaking, these dialogues raise everyone's consciences to faith traditions and alerts people to the number of strangers we have among us to see what our group of churches can do to help them." Sister Cleary compared it to what's said in Matthew 25:35, when Jesus said "I was a stranger, and you took me in;" and reminded followers that "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

A pilot sinks into her cockpit, buckles up, checks the controls, and gets ready for takeoff. The engine hums to life and soon the ground rolls beneath her, until she lifts away and the buildings nearby shrink to the size of dust motes. But there's something unusual with the scene: the pilot isn't old enough to see a PG-13 movie let alone pilot an aircraft. That's because the Aerospace Museum of California doesn't let age become a barrier to flight. Children of all sizes climb into airplanes, pilot virtual jets in simulators, and experiment with the physics of flight while adults do the same, exploring the history of aviation both on Earth and beyond.
More than 37,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibits chronicle everything from the very first airplanes made of cloth and wood to futuristic Mars-destined craft made of space-wood. Some of the museum?s prize possessions include the McDonnell-Douglas A-4C Skyhawk I, better known as one of the Blue Angels? stunt rides, and the Grumman F-14D Tomcat, just like the one co-starring in the 1986 film Top Gun. The Fun with Physics exhibit hammers home the idea of hands-on learning, letting young engineers play with simple machines, whereas the engine room dishes up eye-candy for motorheads, including specimens from 1910?s Le Rhone to the marvels that propelled the Titan rockets.
Tropical Aquarium Specialties sales everything you need to make your aquarium happy whether it is a saltwater aquarium or freshwater aquarium. We have a wide variety of fish and corals. We sale a full line of dry goods from fish food to complete aquariums.
A whirlpool drags boats into the watery abyss. Racecars vie for supremacy on a track. Inexorable gears grind in a vast and purposeless machine. These are not the dreams of a dozing Rube Goldberg, but the interactive exhibits at the Sacramento Children's Museum. Next to the fluid-dynamics room, where child Poseidons subject boats to their tidal whims, a solar-powered raceway and an interactive gear assembly teach important lessons about the forces that keep the natural world moving when it would much rather be eating Almond Joys. These entertaining, hands-on experiences with scientific fundamentals are bolstered by the museum's calendar of events. Regular showcases such as story time, cultural-history lessons, and exercise classes intersperse children's-museum interaction with traditional word-of-mouth learning sessions.
Breezes swirl down a corridor made by trees standing up to 100 feet and perched atop levees, which form the banks of the 200-year-old Bear River. Above rustling branches and the calls of nearby eagles, the hum of an engine cuts through the tranquil air. Dave Jewell of Blue Sky Powered Paragliding takes thrill-seekers—some as old as 80 years of age—soaring up to 500 feet above rolling, farm-dappled country and between Bear River's banks on propeller-powered parachutes. Though currently surveying Californian skies, Dave has led flights and organized clubs in Japan, Nigeria, Mexico, Germany, and France, and he continues to draw on knowledge of flight mechanics from extensive Air Force parachute training. Today, Dave takes off from 24 acres of campground, where a paragliding club meets occasionally to heckle poorly shaped clouds.
A sweeping bonfire pit, rustic picnic tables, and grassy swathes for RVs welcome campers waiting their turn to fly. Dave also mans a parachute and equipment shop where he conducts repairs and reanimates the corpses of dead kites. Dave insists that he never tires of his sport, as the weather and surrounding terrain are always changing, making his higher-altitude experiences "terrifying without being terrifying." With a small wingspan, the motorized parachutes can also approach wildlife more closely than other aircraft; on one flight Dave found himself flanked by two bald eagles, beating their powerful wings just 20 feet away.
Each April, a tear in the space-time continuum opens up along the Sacramento River. Through it rolls a first-class locomotive right out of the 1940s and 50s. For 45 minutes, passengers in the train's coach and luxury first class car soak in the sights of California's fruit-growing deltas as the vintage diesel engine carries them into another time.
The California State Railroad Museum conducts these scenic, historic train rides. The excursions play a crucial role in the museum's mission to chronicle California's railroad history from the early days of the Gold Rush to modern agricultural transports and the proposed railroad to Mars. Spanning centuries, 21 restored locomotives and train cars blanket the museum's 225,000 square feet of exhibit space. A Pullman-style sleeping car and a dining car filled with fine china both sit on display, while the museum's Sierra Scene places a vintage steam locomotive next to a breathtaking mural of snow-dusted mountains. The popular Small Wonders: The Magic of Toy Trains exhibit currently commands the second floor, and with hundreds of examples of early electric toy trains and accessories such as stations, signals, tunnels, and bridges, it should delight even the most discerning miniature conductor.
Behind the Victorian columns of Crocker Art Museum?s 126-year-old gallery building, ornate chambers house works that span six continents and several centuries. Established in 1885, it remains the first art museum in the Western United States, boasting collections that pay homage to the region?s cultural lineage with a robust Californian collection.
The museum updated its look and tripled both its exhibit space and running time for games of hide-and-seek in 2010 with the addition of the Teel Family Pavilion, a 125,000-square-foot building that boasts geometric designs and sunlit rooms. The expanded gallery furthers the museum?s mission to function as a community hub by hosting Art Mix, social events that feature live music, djs and a cash bar on the 2nd Thursday of every month. Studio-art classes keep adults informed, and children?s programs inspire young artists to commit their creativity to canvas, rather than living-room walls or ephemeral Mr. Potato Heads.

The median price of existing homes across the Valley dropped by $76,100 last month compared to November 2007, according to the latest report from Arizona State University's Realty Studies Department.

|http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/images/photos/2008/12/10/v8olx0.gif" target="_blank">
The overall median price last month was $159,900, compared to $167,375 in October and $236,000 in November 2007, the study said. That's a 32 percent drop in the median home value in the past year.
The median price for traditional transactions was $162,000, while the median price for foreclosure transactions was $155,100. A year ago, those prices were $249,000 and $212,000.
Foreclosed transactions represented homeowners losing their property to individual bidders or the lender of record, while traditional transactions were sales of both owner-occupied and homes that have emerged from foreclosure proceedings.
"Of the total recorded activity in the resale market, 48 percent represent homes that are being taken from the owner-occupant or owner and put into banks or investors," said Jay Butler, realty studies director. "In most areas, they dominate the market, they set the price and they set the tenor of what's happening in an area. Historically, what is now (48 percent) of resale activity was 3 percent a year ago."
Some 6,465 existing home sales were recorded last month in the Valley, including 3,095 foreclosure transactions and 3,370 traditional transactions. In October, the 8,210 resales included 3,745 foreclosure transactions and 4,465 traditional transactions.
Existing home sales in November were way up from the 3,695 recorded for the same month in 2007 because of lower prices spurred by the foreclosure activity.
"If you live in an area where you have heavy foreclosure activity going on, it's going to be difficult to traditionally sell your home ... and you see these homes being vandalized, they're empty and it's sort of a depressing scene to look at," Butler said.
With one in every 198 housing units receiving a foreclosure filing, Arizona posted the nation's third highest foreclosure rate in November, behind Nevada and Florida, despite a nearly 25 percent decrease in filings from the previous month, according to RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure properties. Foreclosure filings include default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions.
Foreclosure filings were reported on 13,136 Arizona properties during the month, up nearly 128 percent from November 2007. As for the resale market, most of the foreclosure homes that are selling are going to investors, Butler said.
"With these low prices, (these investors) can economically rent the home, so you get somebody looking after the home and making sure it's not vandalized, it's being fixed up and hopefully getting people to live in it," he said. "Maybe you want owner-occupants (buying foreclosures), but at the moment you're not getting that. But at least you have somebody there who's going to keep that home up, and if you get enough it begins to improve the neighborhood."
Butler expects widespread job losses to lead to another increase in foreclosure activity in the coming months.

Absolutely PERFECT!
My wife and I celebrated our 50th birthdays, with family and friends, at this magnificently beautiful and very well cared for island home. We are very particular and this home truly exceeded our expectations. The interior is beautifully decorated, yet extremely welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, an afternoon swim in the heated pool, bike rides to town, and a late night sing-along by the outdoor fireplace. We had a full house, yet every guest was extraordinarily comfortable with their own beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. Pilgrim Bliss is aptly named! We can't wait to go back!
Great place, great location, great island!
We stayed at this place with some good fiends to enjoy the annual Nantucket "Christmas stroll." Everyone agreed this place was really fantastic. Nantucket is the most charming, quintessential New England island you can imagine, and this property really maximized our enjoyment of the island. The property is wonderful: it's tastefully decorated in a "Nantucket style" (if you don't know what that means you will when you get there) that is warm and charming. The furniture is cozy and the and beds are comfortable. All the appliances are brand new. We didn't get to enjoy the pool (in Dec?) but it's clearly a great setup with a wonderful pool house. We were tempted to jump in! It's a great location. It's a pleasant stroll into town, which is really beautiful. Plenty of shopping, food, and drinks. Although it's close to town in a nice community, when you're in the pool area you can't see any other houses, so you have a lot of privacy. You get the benefits of being close to town without feeling like you're in a crowded community. And the ocean is a only a short drive in many directions. Beautiful beaches and really interesting landscapes. Our bottom line: We plan to come back every year, in both the summer and for the Stroll, and we're going to stay at this place for sure -- Please don't rent it the weekends we plan to be there! :)

Things anyone can do to lessen population pressure: improve sex ed in local schools, support abortion rights, & don't push others to have kids.
Childlessness is nothing new — for as long as we've had parents, we've had people who are not parents. Across centuries and cultures, at least 10 percent of women never have children, writes Elizabeth Gilbert. But it is relatively new to have a cohort of people who are deliberate, outspoken, and even proud about being childless — or, as we prefer to say, childfree. We nonparents have traditionally been a quiet minority. And we're still a minority — albeit a growing one, now about 20 percent in both the U.S. and the U.K. — but we're no longer so quiet. …
Deciding to be childfree doesn't have to mean forgoing the joys of parenting. Co-parenting has a lot to offer for the childfree, parents, and kids.
CNN and The Fiscal Times look at how childfree people can get stuck working longer hours and less desirable days and shifts.
Actor Vincent Kartheiser, who plays Pete Campbell on "Mad Men," says he has made the "green choice" not to have children. Welcome to the GINK club!
Oklahoma GOP gov candidate Mary Fallin says what sets her apart is "having children" -- a slam at Dem opponent Jari Askins, who doesn't have kids.

In their bid to maintain some respectability and some dignity after their humiliation at the hands of Germany, Brazil faced off against the Netherlands in the much debated third place game. Unfortunately for the Brazilian squad and their fans, it was more of the same embarrassment that they faced in the semifinal. The match started off in similar fashion with Brazil conceding an early goal but this time should have had their captain Thiago Silva sent off at the same time.
Just minutes after they conceded the early goal, the Brazilians conceded yet another silly goal due to an individual error by David Luiz. Chelsea fans must be gleeful at the fact that they received 50 million for a player that has shown no discipline and has often been at fault for the Brazilian breakdown. Luiz made a simple headed clearance out for a corner in to an easy opportunity for Daley Blind who had time to check his watch and fix his hair before smashing home for his first ever goal.
Brazil huffed and puffed but could not blow the Dutch house down. Oscar had a clear penalty shout turned down and was rewarded with a terrible yellow card for diving. The Algerian referee had a howler of a match and that was another egregious error that could have swung the match in Brazil's favor. Other than the penalty shout, Brazil showed little ingenuity and never forced a great save from Jasper Cillesen. Oscar was the lone bright spot for Brazil but our playmaker could not do the job alone.
The third Dutch goal just added to the humiliation and the Brazilians now have conceded a ridiculous 10 goals in the last two matches. This is a true crisis for Brazilian football even if it comes with a respectable fourth place finish in a World Cup. The issue is not where they ended up but the manner in which they were embarrassed and humiliated on a national stage.
Seeing Brazil lose a football match is nothing new, but seeing them destroyed the way they have is uncharted territory. Brazil must look to rebuild and will hope to once again be seen as a top footballing power in time for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

When the Oklahoma Sooners ran into problems against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, a lot of fans began to make noise for a new Oklahoma Sooners quarterback to come in to replace Blake Bell in the game. These are the same fans who were making noise for Blake Bell to get the chance to replace Trevor Knight earlier in the season.
Landry Jones broke almost all of the school records as the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback, but many OU fans complained about him every week.
These are the fans that will never be happy with anything that is not perfect. The sad thing is – nothing in life is perfect.
So far this season, Blake Bell has a passing efficiency of 139.3. He has completed 64.6 percent of his passes for 968 yards. He also has six touchdowns to his two interceptions. On the other hand, Trevor Knight has a passing efficiency of 95.8. He has completed only 44.9 percent of his passes for 211 yards and four touchdowns to three interceptions.
Trevor Knight did that against a weak West Virginia and Louisiana-Monroe. Blake Bell compiled his stats against Notre Dame, TCU, Texas and Tulsa. Fans who wanted Trevor Knight to replace Blake Bell as the starting Oklahoma Sooners quarterback either have a very short memory or just don't know what they are talking about.
Of course, there are also some people who want Kendal Thompson to get a chance.
Put KENDAL THOMPSON in! Give him a shot! #OUTX
— Bryce Harper (@Bharper3407) October 12, 2013
I argue that switching out quarterbacks constantly through the season is not a way to win games. It is a way to kill the confidence of every quarterback on your roster. If Thompson comes in – and struggles – and you go back to one of the quarterbacks you benched, will they have the confidence to play hard to win the close games?
You would expect they would. But you are also the one who said you have no faith in them to begin with. Fans who cheered for Blake Bell to win the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback job, and then wanted him benched after a loss, are called bandwagon fans. And bandwagon fans aren't needed in a winning program.

Low Speed on Data Card.
I am using Huawei Data card E303C, recently I used it in 3G network with BSNL sim and got satisfactory results. I was getting about 5.4 MBps speed. On 2G with UMTS mode, I was getting a stable 160 Kbps speed.
but today on 2G network (in city where only 2G is available) I am not getting much speed.. around 50-60 Kbps. Connection drops frequently; says Connected (No Internet Access) whereas same sim on Nokia X2 phone gives stable 128 Kbps speed.
Can you figure out the problem please ??

The speed would be different in different locations so you you can not expect the same speed in all locations. Sometimes speed also differs according to the device which is used and in this case the phone provides better speed.

Spread the word!
During the negotiations, it's really best to not be in your submissive headspace. You are a strong person with needs, wants, desires and limits. It's called negotiating for a reason. Hold your ground with your limits and negotiate the rest. Divide and rate things into want vs needs and limits.
My limits list is rated, color coded and sectioned into categories.
I rate hard limits, soft limits (things I really would prefer not to do often but would do for him if it's a strong want & he keeps in mind my feelings and likely doesn't ask it at all or often of me) Then it's rated 1-4.
1 is a need/must have and 4 is don't care for it all that much but it's not a soft or hard limit. My list has notes all over it as well, with thoughts and qualifications.
Daddy and I revisit it about every 4-6 months I'd guess. He has a list also. That's why it's called a negotiation.

With House Republicans all but declaring that they will shut down the government—a move opposed by 80% of all Americans—they've now taken to comparing their move to the heroes of 9/11. Seriously."The whole room: 'Let's vote!'" Congressman John Culberson of Texas recalled. "I said, like 9/11, 'let's roll!'"
Yes, the 40 dead, who kept a hijacked airliner from crashing into God know's what in our nation's capitol, is just like House Republicans appeasing the extremists of their party.
What a bunch of fucking scumbags.

Photos: Formula One's Villeneuve puts spin on Intel
Summary: At a special 'London Grand Prix' event at the capital's Hyde Park, the chipmaker drafted in a Canadian Formula One driver to help push its latest chipsets
3 of 4Image
Intel was keen to draw parallels between its chip technology and motor sports. Skaugen claiming that there are many similarities between business and Formula One, such as the need to deliver incredibly high speed with reliable and efficient performance under pressure. "One IT hiccup can make the difference between a driver winning and losing a race, or a business winning and losing competitive advantage," he said.
The dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5100 begins shipping on 23 June. Intel claims that the new chipset will deliver as much as 125% increase in performance and more than 40 percent reduction in processor power compared with existing Paxville technology.
Intel also tried to reinforce the image that it is more than a chip company by discussing virtualisation and desktop management. Later this year, the company will launch its vPro client management system which it claims could eliminate up to 80 percent of manual visits to fix desktop problems.
The Intel event, which was hosted by ITV-F1 commentator and former Formula One driver Martin Brundle, saw Villeneuve deafen the crowd of IT professionals and race fans with drag-racing style runs along the section of Hyde Park opposite The Albert Hall.
Asked by Brundle about how he approaches the risks involved in racing, Villeneuve replied that if he wasn't involved in Formula One he would be doing something even more dangerous. "To have a big crash you have to be very unlucky. But you have to pay attention to every detail in the cockpit, so you are ready for a crash if it happens," he said.

road tests that aim to evaluate the performance of up to 50 electric vehicles under a variety of circumstances, notably winter conditions. The project, was announced at the Montreal International Auto Show in 2010, is designed to study users' charging habits, driving experience and overall satisfaction as well as vehicle behavior when interfaced with the electric grid.
AES Energy Storage began operation of an 8 MW battery-based storage system located in Johnson City, N.Y. AES says the project, which is designed to level the variability of generation and demand on the grid in the New York power market by delivering instantaneous response to grid operator requests for power, is the first of its kind in the United States. Upon its anticipated completion in 2011, the project will supply 20 MW of emissions-free reserve capacity. On Dec. 31, 2010, the project completed its initial performance testing with the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) and is operating as a frequency regulation provider, delivering reserve capacity that helps grid operators maintain the balance between generation and load.

hey! i love casting spells and hexes and stuff, i have a Mo/???, a N/W, a W/Mo, and i was thinking of making a Mesmer/???
Right now im training my Necro really hard, hes pretty cool but the life stealing stuff and massive energy use is getting old. I was thinking, do you guys think that mesmers are more powerful than necros? HONESTLY. If so to heck with my necro :D

Should i quit Necro's to train a new Mesmer/???
30-05-2005, 23:59 #2
Right now I'm makin a Me/N and I think he's awesome. He stands up if I want to 'grind' solo because with all the life stealing that you already love so much, a Me/N is much more durable than a Me/E for example.
You seem like you enjoy playing Neco already so why not combine the two? Trust me, any combo in the game has its own strong and weak points, and none are useless. I think, however, if you go N/Me you'll have far less trouble with Mana, and would be better off PvE, but in PvP play, I find the faster casting a big bonus, and I also use Mantra of Recovery atm because I'm currently using Death magic and trying minions in PvP. They work well with Mantra because you can cast twice as fast, twice as often
EDIT: Honestly, I chose Me/N instead of N/Me at the start because my first char to 20 was a N/W and I just got tired of that armour/look. Also, imho, the Me looks cool especially as a Necro, because you have the whole 18th century mad scientist robbing graves and doing experiments of people aura.

Mesmer excels in slapping the opponents face for doing something as well as actually stopping them from slapping you.
Necro excels in making opponents weak enough for a more hurtful slap or weak enough to be able to make their slaps less hurtful lol
It depends on your playstyle, its not which is better, its actually which would you have more fun doing

Remember Me?
The Best Amp I've Used so Far
The LC50II has really great-sounding cleans. Using an RG2550E with Breed Bridge and Air Norton neck pickups, I was able to get powerful rock cleans with the Breed alone, warm jazz with the Air Norton, and really nice and bright results with the split coil configs. This fact alone made me love the amp, especially because you could already build up great tones with such lovely clean sounds. Switching to the drive channel, I was pleasantly greeted by the "layered-sounding" natural overdrive of the amp, and after putting up with flat-sounding drive sounds from most SS amps, I found love at last. Running on lower settings, the amp gave me crunchy and bluesy drive sounds, but when turning the gain knob a bit more to the right, I got really big distortion tones perfect for 70's and early 80's riffing. While the amp was buzzing quite a bit, I'm sure it'll get fixed with some proper setup, but in the meantime, I'm really enjoying the tones I get from the thing.
I really loved the fact that it had an effects loop, especially since I use a multieffects unit for most of my tones. The amp's power sections warms up the tones from my effects unit considerably, giving it a really solid guitar sound. Running in front using a few standalone pedal models on the same unit, I got really pleasing results as well. Looks like I wouldn't need to buy any new gear for quite a time :P
I couldn't say a lot about it yet, especially since it's only been a few months since I got it.
Customer Support
Liked about it
1. Great Cleans
2. Powerful Drive
3. Effects Loop
Didn't like
1. heavy (I bought wheeled platforms for my amps for moving them around the house)
2. tubes need periodic replacement (but then, even cars need periodic maintenance, right?) but I don't need to replace any tube yet
3. Slight noise on higher volumes and drive settings, but not super bothersome.
Overall satisfaction:

Heritage Village Museum in Sharon Woods has named Ed Creighton as the 2010 Volunteer of the Year.
In 2010 Creighton volunteered more than 454 hours at the museum; working in a variety of areas including school programs, village tours, building interpretation, maintenance, programming, exhibits and grants, and in May 2010 he joined the board of directors.
Creighton first came to the Heritage Village Museum as a visitor and fell in love with both the Village and its mission: to educate, enrich, engage and entertain people of all ages as they learn about the culture and heritage of Southwest Ohio during the 19th Century. Then, in 2007, he became a volunteer and has become involved in many areas of the Village.
"The Village is a special place because it has preserved both historic buildings and artifacts that are irreplaceable. With these treasures, people are able to learn first-hand how our ancestors lived," Creighton said.
Creighton's love of history began when he was a young boy, as he began collecting artifacts at the age of 11. Creighton believes, "History is important because it helps us understand what has happened to shape our present lives. It is history that holds the key to surviving the future." His personal collection of Chester Park and Winton Place Station memorabilia is on exhibit inside the Chester Park Train Station at the Village.
"Ed is an invaluable volunteer who always teaches us something new every time he is here," said Shelly Gregg, volunteer coordinator for Heritage Village Museum. "The time and service he has given to so many different areas of the Village are greatly appreciated and we look forward to working with him for many more years to come."
Creighton and his wife, Kathy, live in an 1852 farmhouse in the Oxford area. His home was recently added to Ohio's Historic Register and was included in the Cincinnati Museum Center's Heritage Tour that took place June 18.

He concentrates and lays hands on Martelai, and a silver glow heals his wounds. Tarkus stumbles backwards and sits down, hard, panting from the effort. "Sorry," he says to the other holy man who requested healing. "I need to tend to myself as well if I'm to be of any use to you."
Healer's Mercy on Martelai (unfortunately it only affects bloodied allies, so if I'm reading this right that's all I can affect), healing 14+12 hp for 1 healing surge.
Healing Word on myself, healing 12+12 hp for 1 healing surge. (Sorry, Brenwar, but you have way more surges left than me!)

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Healing word would use one of my surges, but allow me to benefit from your bonus healing (+Xd6+X) rather than me just getting a healing surge back from second wind. You don't have to worry about spending a surge to heal me, just use a healing word on me so I can spend a surge. (Unless I'm derping from reading this early in the morning and misunderstood you)

The offseason trade of pitcher Doug Fister to the Washington Nationals created room for Drew Smyly, above, as the Tigers' fifth starter. (Robin Buckson / Detroit News)
Detroit Ś Drew Smyly knows an opportunity is at hand, which explains why he was on the golf course Monday back home in Dallas, getting in one final round before heading north for the Tigers Winter Caravan this week.
The TigersÆ pitchers and catchers report to Lakeland, Fla., on Feb. 13, and while the focus there will be on SmylyÆs windup and delivery as the newest member of the starting rotation, heÆs also concerned about his swing. His golf swing, that is.
ōItÆs coming around,ö he said, laughing. ōTrying to get it into shape for spring, too. ThatÆs when it matters, for the money games.ö
And with Justin Verlander Ś the staff ace on the links as well as the mound Ś busy rehabbing from last monthÆs core-muscle surgery, ōitÆs anybodyÆs game now,ö Smyly adds.
But the real opportunity, he knows, is the one created by the offseason trade of pitcher Doug Fister to the Washington Nationals, a move that shed salary from the team payroll while also creating room for Smyly as the TigersÆ fifth starter.
His job to lose
ItÆs a job Smyly hoped to win last spring in Lakeland. But when an anticipated trade involving Rick Porcello never materialized, the 24-year-old lefty broke camp instead as the TigersÆ long reliever. And itÆs a job he won in a bit of a surprise in the spring of 2012, making 15 starts before the trade-deadline deal to acquire Anibal Sanchez relegated him to a relief role. (He went 4-3 with a 3.79 earned-run average as a starter that year.)
Now with Fister gone, itÆs a job thatÆs his to lose.
ōIÆm stoked,ö said Smyly, the TigersÆ second-round pick out of Arkansas in 2010. ōI was brought up as a starter, thatÆs what IÆve done my whole life. ģ So IÆm looking forward to just getting back in that role.ö
Even last season, there were times he tried to get back in that role. Like when Sanchez missed time in June due to a right shoulder sprain.
ōHe came to me and said, æHey, am I starting?Æö pitching coach Jeff Jones recalled. ōAnd I had to tell him, æNo, Drew, weÆre gonna keep you in the Æpen.Æö
ThatÆs because heÆd become too valuable there, switching from long relief into a role as the TigersÆ left-handed setup man in the late innings. In 63 appearances last season, he pitched 76 innings with a 2.37 ERA and 81 strikeouts against only 17 walks. And by at least one statistical measure Ś FangraphsÆ Wins Above Replacement (WAR) Ś he was the best left-handed reliever in baseball.
So maybe the question isnÆt how well heÆll replace FisterÆs production in the rotation, but rather how well Ian Krol Ś the lefty reliever acquired in that deal with the Nationals Ś will replace Smyly in the seventh and eighth innings.
Bullpen experience helps
Still, thereÆs a greater expectation now for Smyly, and he knows it. Dave Dombrowski, the TigersÆ GM, talked Thursday about a double-digit win total from his No. 5 starter. And while Smyly wasnÆt going to get caught up in that, heÆs confident he can get it done.
He added some weight this offseason in preparation for the workload Ś pushing 200 innings, ideally Ś and will head to Lakeland at around 205 pounds after finishing the postseason last November at 185 or so. And with a few bullpen sessions already under his belt this winter, heÆs focusing now on his secondary pitches, just as he did a year ago.
Smyly doesnÆt possess an overpowering fastball Ś topping out at 93-94 mph Ś but he boasts excellent control and a deceptive rising action with it. HeÆll mix in his cut fastball and slider with good success as well, and he says he likes where heÆs at with his changeup, a pitch he never really threw much in college or the year he spent in the minors. Or last year, for that matter.
ōI kind of banked it early in the season,ö Smyly said. ōBecause when youÆre coming in for three or four batters, I just wanted to go straight to my go-to pitches. I didnÆt really want to mess around. But IÆve been working on my changeup a lot, just trying to get it back.ö
Jones said the time spent in the bullpen Ś or more specifically, the time spent on the mound in high-leverage situations late in games last season Ś will only help Smyly now that heÆs returning to a starterÆs role.
Smyly said much the same Thursday. And though it remains to be seen how heÆll handle right-handed bats over the long haul Ś especially the ones in the middle of the order Ś the Tigers have always liked his poise and confidence.
ōExperience and confidence are the two biggest things,ö Smyly told me Thursday.
But he left out the most important part: Opportunity. And seeing as he finally has a little bit of all three, weÆll see what he can do, starting now.
ōI think thatÆs where IÆm at my best,ö Smyly said. ōAnd IÆm looking forward to it.ö

The final day of SEC Media Days has arrived and that means it is finally time for Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze to meet the media.
Freeze will be behind the dais at 10:30 a.m. as he begins his third season in Oxford with expectations continuing to rise with the conference's longest-tenured starting quarterback in Bo Wallace and a number of highly-touted recruits on the roster looking to have breakthrough seasons as sophomores.
The Rebels are one of the sleepers in the division that could surpass the likes of Texas A&M and LSU with consistent play and put the heavyweights in the SEC on upset alert.
After finishing 8-5 (3-5 in the SEC) and winning the Music City Bowl, his second bowl win in as many seasons in Oxford, the Rebels look to build on the success of the last two seasons and breakthrough for a season that could be awfully special.
Joining Freeze at Media Days is Wallace who returns for his third season as the starting quarterback for Ole Miss and is the healthiest he has been in the past two seasons and could be the difference between another eight-win year and a 10-win season, which isn't out of reach.
He has shown flashed of being a top-shelf quarterback in the SEC in the past, but as the conference's most experienced quarterback, he has to make those flashes much more consistent.
In addition to Wallace, defensive end C.J. Johnson and All-American safety Cody Prewitt will meet with the media and give their thoughts on the outlook for the 2014 Rebels.
If you had one question to ask any of the Ole Miss representatives at Media Days, what would it be?
