A look back at that first meeting shows not only some of the origins of the profession but also the importance of the issues being discussed. In a profession that was still inventing itself in many ways, the attendees were debating topics such as auditing, accounting for profits and government issues, all of them timeless themes. In addition, the proceedings show the quality of ideas being generated by those involved. At a time long before codified generally accepted accounting principles or auditing standards, participants were developing and discussing some of the standards and procedures that would form the basis of professional practice.
"A century is a good time to take stock," notes Gary Previts, CPA, professor of accountancy and associate dean of undergraduate programs at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Previts says many of those who attended the first world congress would become important figures in the profession. "What stands out is how many names are familiar and still recognized today as potential or actual Accounting Hall of Fame members," says Dale Flesher, CPA, a professor at the University of Mississippi's school of accountancy. In addition, in reviewing the proceedings of this first gathering, "I am impressed that it is a very important portfolio about the ideas of practice. The ideas reflect fundamental issues that face us today," Flesher says. This article highlights that pivotal event.
KEY THEMES Consolidating the profession. An important but unspoken agenda of the congress was to try to find a way to organize the profession nationally. Great Britain had a more highly developed accounting profession at the time and many British accountants—such as Arthur Lowes Dickinson—who had come to the United States to practice became very influential, but the American accountants wanted to build their own profession. "Federal recognition of the profession of the public accountant can be secured only by a strong representative national body speaking with one voice from Maine to California," the congress's chairman, Joseph Sterrett, said in his opening remarks. Many of the people behind the congress hoped to lay the groundwork for a single recognized national organization, but some in attendance had reservations about the idea.
"There were the same kinds of tensions we see today, between large and small firms and between global and regional organizations," Previts says. "People learn how to manage these issues, but they don't necessarily solve them."
One year after the congress, the movement toward a single national organization was strengthened by a merger of two early national bodies, the Federation of Societies of Public Accountants and the American Association of Public Accountants, based on discussions that had begun at the congress.
A burgeoning market economy. What was the foundation of the nascent accounting profession in 1904? The rise in wealth and commercial activity during the last half of the 19th century was one factor, according to Sterrett. "Within the past few years, the wealth of an empire has been concentrated under the control of a few great corporations," he noted. These developments in the economy led to better housing, education and transportation. They also created a demand for more timely information—a need still felt today. "Men responsible for the conduct of large enterprises today require not history but news," Sterrett said. "It is of little avail to find out three or six months afterward that last year's business was conducted at a loss."
Sterrett also outlined the standard accounting professionals should attain. "The public accountant touches business life on every side," he said, adding elsewhere in his speech that "the crowning glory of our profession is that it must ever stand for the highest ideals in the life of the individual and for the slow but sure evolution of society into a state where honor and honesty shall not be mere abstractions."
Audit companies. Form of practice was a hot topic at the 1904 meeting and one the profession has revisited and refined over the years. At stake were questions such as whether it would be acceptable for auditors to work in a corporation—or as part of another business—or whether they should, instead, work only in professional practices. More fundamental, however, was the question of whether an audit should be presented as something performed by an individual or by a firm. "In those days," Previts says, "there was still a proprietary view of a personal professional service," which favored the idea that an individual performed an audit. "That changed during the last century because of global business and consolidations. Capital allocation processes grew to be so complicated and so global," that it became impractical to expect one person alone to conduct the audit, he says.
At the congress in 1904, George Wilkinson, a founder of the Federation of Societies of Public Accountants, questioned the commercialization of the profession with what were then being referred to as "audit companies," but practitioner James Miller responded that, as long as a professional had the proper character and ability, "I believe we cannot say to our fellow accountant how he can practice."
"The way you practice will always be controversial because that's where the economic realities meet the profession's ideals," observes Previts. "When that collision happens you are likely to have some friction."
Measuring profits. Arthur Lowes Dickinson, the senior partner of the U.S. branch of Price Waterhouse at the time, gave an important speech to the congress on the profits of a corporation. "In its time it was the equivalent of an intellectual bombshell," Previts says, even though in its simplicity the speech did not encompass topics such as discounted cash flow or current values. The discussion covered issues such as the definition of profits, the legal considerations, the applicable accounting principles, methods for dealing with capital or fixed assets, liabilities and consolidated earnings statements. "From an accounting point of view, it was a tour de force because it addressed all the issues involving profit determination at that time, and provided a good reference point for understanding the theory of profit and loss," Previts says. In an age of speculative ventures and rampant monopolies, money was lent based on expected profits, and Dickinson "knew this was the right time for income determination to become a more prominent issue."
A few years later, Dickinson's ideas would become the basis of Uniform Accounts, a document published by the Federal Reserve Board that drew from the work of a group of distinguished accountants who provided guidance on audit procedures and the form of financial statements. "It was a significant intellectual contribution he was making in 1904," Previts says. Dickinson is remembered among other accomplishments for creating the format for a consolidated financial report for U.S. Steel Corp.

The 10th World Congress of Accounting Historians, which will take place in St. Louis and Oxford, Mississippi, August 1–5, will take the subject of world congresses as one of its themes.

Small plane crashes into water near ClearwaterThe Associated Press
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded after a small plane crashed into the water near the Bayside Bridge in Clearwater.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says the plane crashed about 2:15 a.m. Friday just north of the bridge's hump.
The pilot was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Deputies and rescue personnel remained on the scene early Friday to assist the Federal Aviation Administration with its investigation.
No further information was immediately available.

Eighty-six percent of European employers have cut or frozen spending on skills and training in the last 12 months despite a continued concern over skills shortages, according to new research by Accanture commissioned by the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB) for the European Business Summit 2012.
The survey of 500 senior decision makers from European businesses, government agencies, and civil society organizations reveals that only 18 percent of companies and bodies plan to increase spending on skills and training over the next 12 months. Yet, 43 percent of them currently face at least moderate skills shortages, and 72 percent of respondents say Europe's businesses, policymakers and, civil society organizations need to increase investment in this area.
"There's a double paradox in that European businesses are cutting back on skills development at the very time when they should invest more; and skills shortages are persisting in spite of a very large pool of unused talent here and across the world," said Mark Spelman, managing director of strategy for Accenture.
The Accenture report, "Turning the Tide: How Europe Can Rebuild Skills and Generate Growth," analyzes three key challenges of Europe's skills markets that can be addressed through solutions built on improved insight and collaboration:
Untapped pool of talent:Employers are not sufficiently exploiting the available skills of many of Europe's 25 million unemployed people or the additional 15 million who would like to work but who have withdrawn from the labor force owing to a lack of opportunity (including older people, mothers, and youths). For example, 67 percent of decision makers surveyed think that employers undervalue the skills of older age groups.
Poor labor mobility: While 47 percent of organizations surveyed admit they utilize the skills available within their country to a great or significant extent, this figure falls to 28 percent for those exploiting the wider European labor market.
A lack of collaboration between sectors: While almost two-thirds of respondents agree that Europe's skills challenges can only be solved through collaborative solutions between multiple stakeholders, only 29 percent collaborate with other organizations in their sector and just 18 percent with those in other sectors.
Among the report's key recommendations for employers, policymakers, educational organizations and other groups are the following:
Actions for employers
Actions for policymakers
According to Spelman, "Short term economic needs and the increasing pace of industrial change means that Europe must build an adaptable, transparent, and connected skills ecosystem. This can only be achieved by bringing together business, government and educational groups in ways that can anticipate changing market needs as well as react intelligently to them. Policymakers will play a critical role in enabling this collaboration and removing some of the structural barriers from Europe's skills market."

Formula of Agreement
Between the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Reformed Church in America, and the United Church of Christ on Entering into Full Communion on the Basis of A Common Calling
In 1997 four churches of Reformation heritage will act on an ecumenical proposal of historic importance. The timing reflects a doctrinal consensus which has been developing over the past thirty-two years coupled with an increasing urgency for the church to proclaim a gospel of unity in contemporary society. In light of identified doctrinal consensus, desiring to bear visible witness to the unity of the Church, and hearing the call to engage together in God's mission, it is recommended:
That the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Reformed Church in America, and the United Church of Christ declare on the basis of A Common Calling and their adoption of this A Formula of Agreement that they are in full communion with one another. Thus, each church is entering into or affirming full communion with three other churches.

More than 100 homes and businesses have been evacuated in northern Maine amid fears of the worst flooding in more than 100 years.
At least three inches of rain, combined with melting snow, has pushed the St. John River five feet above flood stage. The result is flooding in the town of Fort Kent, Maine, across from Canada. And they could get a whole lot more depending on whether the levee protecting the downtown area holds. Businesses have all been evacuated and about 600 people have been evacuated from their homes.
Flood warnings have also been issued across the river in Canada.
The International Bridge has been closed amid fears that the raging waters could drag it down. Maine's governor describes it as "ready to wash away."

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.

All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"

The average U.S. rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage touched its record low this week and the rate on 15-year mortgage hit a new record.
The declines followed the Federal Reserve announcement last week that it would buy bonds to push mortgage rates lower and stimulate the housing market.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.49 percent from 3.55 percent last week. That matched the lowest rate since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.
The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, plunged to 2.77 percent, a new record. That's down from 2.85 percent last week and the previous record low of 2.80 percent.

Maybe that's because you aren't as smart as the creator. Not saying that's the case but if I can't figure out why someone is doing something it's usually because I don't know as much as they do. I don't just assume it's because they're crazy.

Seriously guys, he's a philosopher. I'm surprised no-one here has pointed out that it's the Helium that is keeping the moon floating way up there. Take the Helium away and it will sink back down to earth and we do not want that to happen. You think global warming is bad, just imagine how bad it would be with the Moon orbiting at 10000m. I guess we could try to time it so it touches down in the Sahara but if it overshoots it's goodbye Panama.

Not sure how I managed to piss you off but I was just pointing out that the police cannot stop this situation. Nor can the UK government without being accused of political interference in judicial/police operations. The only people who can get Mr Assange out of the embassy are the Swedes, the Equadorians and Mr Assange. Of course, once he's out of the embassy he will be arrested by the UK police and charged with jumping bail (and he won't be getting bailed again). After that who knows. Time is not on his side, governments don't die of old age and there is no statute of limitations in the UK.
Re:seems like a waste of money (541 comments)
Well since most, if not all, of the taxpayers money is going in to the wage slips of the police guarding him it's not really a waste. It's not great but at least the money isn't going to some corporate tax haven.
The police cannot just let him go, there's an extradition request from Sweden, and those things are taken seriously mostly because of the quid pro quo.

Warm Spiced Cider Punch
"This is a nice warm-up punch--I like to serve it when there is a nip in the air," writes Susan Smith of Forest, Virginia. The aroma of the apple cider, orange juice and spices is wonderful as the punch simmers in the slow cooker.
8 Servings
Prep: 5 min. Cook: 4 hours
4 cups apple cider
unsweetened apple juice
2-1/4 cups water
3/4 cup orange juice concentrate
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
Orange slices and additional cinnamon sticks, optional
In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the apple cider, water, orange juice
concentrate, nutmeg and ginger. Place cloves and cinnamon sticks on
a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie
with string to form a bag. Place bag in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through. Remove
and discard spice bag. Garnish with orange slices and additional
cinnamon sticks if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

OMAHA The WOWT 6 News Speed Zapper crew is heading back-to-school.
Several schools have started back up, but already the Speed Zapper crew is seeing an uptick in speeding in school zones.
This week our cameras were rolling near Hitchcock Elementary School. On the second day of school our crew clocked drivers going as fast as 35 miles an hour -- 10 miles an hour above the speed limit.
According to a AAA Foundation for Traffic Study done in 2011, those types of speeds could easily kill someone. According to the study a pedestrian struck at 32 miles an hour has a 25-percent chance that they'll die. If that speed increases to 42 miles an hour the liklihood increases to 50-percent.
The WOWT 6 News Speed Zapper crew also watched as more than a dozen vehicles either ran or rolled through stop signs. A dangerous habit as car crashes rank among the leading causes of death in the United States.
After witnessing so many driving mistakes this week, WOWT 6 News has dug up some smart strategies from the National Safety Council that could help as we prepare to drive around children:
* Drivers should not block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn. Do not stop with a portion of your vehicle over the crosswalk. Blocking the crosswalk forces pedestrians to go around your vehicle and puts them in a dangerous situation.
* In a school zone when a warning flasher or flashers are blinking, you must stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with no marked crosswalk.
* Always stop when directed to do so by a school patrol sign, school patrol officer or designated crossing guard.
* Children are the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult to see. Take extra care to look out for children not only in school zones, but also in residential areas, playgrounds and parks.
* Don't honk your horn, rev your engine or do anything to rush or scare a pedestrian in front of your car, even if you have the legal right-of-way.

The letter wot i wrote to the Echo about teaching
Dear Viewpoints.
Reading some of the sad stories about the state of education in Wales truly brings a tear to my eye. We moved back here from the US because this is where we wanted to be, back home. I would get a job, and my wife would teach. She had taught in Wales before, quite successfully, and was highly regarded by the special needs school that she had worked on longterm supply with. However we were in for a shock, after placing our daughter in Llantwit Major Comp, (where she has completed a successful year), we went into Cardiff where my wife was going register with the agency that she had worked with before, we were shocked to discover that she could not because she did not have QTS for Wales (incidently I had corresponded with the agency prior to our arrival and they failed to mention this). We went to the GTCE in Newport Road, who just told us that there was nothing that they could do, and consequently placed the blame with the Welsh government, tying their hands. In the meantime my wife applied for QTS in England which she got after 3 weeks of waiting.Then I contacted the office of Andrew RT Davies (one of our AMs) who offered help, whose office subsequently did not follow up and would not reply to emails, then I contacted Leanne Wood's office with the same lack of response, and finally I contacted Jane Hutt our Vale of Glamorgan AM, and her office in the end was equally as useless, no contact. The only way teacher from outside can gain QTS in Wales is taking a year long course at UWIC or working for free in a Welsh school, a program that is highly limited and is going to be phased out, and for a highly qualified teacher like NY wife with 2 graduate degrees at 61 that is ridiculous. However what angers me is the lack of responses from our AMs and that is outrageous.And now its too late, my wife was hired (with a phone interview) to teach in a catholic school school in Kansas, and our family is going to be ripped apart and my daughter is going to be moved out of her happy school where she has been sucessful,away from her friends and family to a place she hardly knows.I have applied for 300+ jobs with luck, and I will be staying here.All I can say its shame and could have been otherwise.Michael Alan Cridland.Cert.

Dynamic Bit-Rate Adaptation for Speech and Audio
Many audio and speech transmission applications have to deal with highly time-varying channel capacities, making dynamic adaptation to bit rate an important issue. This study investigates such adaptation using a coder that is driven by rate-distortion optimization mechanisms, always coding the full signal bandwidth. For perceptual evaluation, the continuous quality evaluation methodology is used, which has specifically been designed for dynamic quality testing. Results show latency and smoothing effects in the judged sound quality, but no quality penalty for the switching between quality levels; the overall quality using adaptation is comparable to using the average available bit rate. Thus, dynamic bit-rate adaptation has a clear benefit as compared to always using the lowest guaranteed available bit rate.

PLAYERS: Deontay Wilder, Kertson Manswell, David Diaz, Librado Andrade
In this week's three punch combo I will start by taking a look back at Raymundo Beltran's upset victory of Hank Lundy on Friday night. Next we will take a closer look at an interesting super middleweight bout this Thursday between Thomas Oosthuizen and Rowland Bryant. And finally we will examine the career path of Deontay Wilder and preview his bout Saturday against Kertson Manswell. Hank Lundy vs. Raymundo Beltran Hank Lundy turned in a very disappointing performance Friday night and lost a ten round majority decision to journeyman Raymundo Beltran. The loss for Lundy is particularly disappointing as he seemed on the verge of a big fight, possibly against Adrien Broner, in his next bout. In my estimation, while Beltran fought a good fight, Lundy has only himself to blame for the loss. He clearly did not take this fight seriously and was overlooking Beltran. It took Lundy four attempts to make weight on Thursday in what was the first sign that Lundy did not take his trainin...

"Lemme tell you the truth. The truth is... what is. And what "should be" is a fantasy — a terrible terrible lie, that someone gave the people long ago."
"Take away the right to say 'fuck' and you take away the right to say 'fuck the government'".
—Lenny Bruce
"He sure was funny/and he sure told the truth/and he knew what he was talking about"Lenny Bruce was a controversial stand-up comedian and social critic. Active from the late 40s through the mid 60s, it's his 60s stuff that made him (in)famous. During this era, clean-cut, family-friendly comedy was the norm. Lenny's stand-up was confrontational, profane, unforgiving and uncompromising and paved the way for modern comedy. Bruce was an influence on some other specific comedians. He wrote an autobiography that was serialized in Playboy called How to Talk Dirty and Influence People.Lenny's uncompromising attitude toward his work contributed to his success but also caused his decline. Arrests, drug addiction and depression took their toll on Bruce, and he was found dead from a morphine overdose in 1966, aged 40. The consensus is that his death was a suicide although there are those who will question the notion.On a side note, he once impersonated a priest and jumped out of a two-story window while high. Awesome.

It's out with the old and in with the new in Keller.Mayor Pat McGrail, who has led Keller since 2007, was soundly beaten by challenger Mark Mathews during Saturday's municipal election, signaling a change in the city of 42,000.McGrail had called this year's council race a "watershed election" as candidates debated the city's future and how it should grow.Mathews, a business owner who has said he wanted to bring new leadership to the council and be a representative for residents, won with 54 percent of the vote to McGrail's 46 percent."It's still sinking in that it's over and it came out the way I was looking for," Mathews said. "There was a pretty good turnout, too, compared to some elections of the past, and I think all candidates did a good job of getting people informed and engaged on issues in Keller."He said his first order of business will be to talk with residents and move in the right direction."Throughout this whole process I wanted to listen to people and learn what's going on with the citizens," Mathews said.Two council candidates aligned with McGrail, Place 5 incumbent John Hoffman and Place 6 candidate Ken Lewis, also lost.Bill Hodnett beat Hoffman, 56 percent to 44 percent; in Place 6, Rick Barnes beat Lewis, 57 percent to 43 percent. Doug Miller chose not run for re-election in Place 6.Trophy ClubTrophy Club will have a new mayor with Nick Sanders, beating incumbent Connie White by 16 percent of the votes.Sanders served as mayor of Trophy Club from 2006 to 2009 before White took over. Sanders, the CEO of a computer company, said he will step down as vice president of the Municipal Utility District to fulfill his role as mayor. He won with 58 percent of votes to White's 42 percent.Sanders said he was "feeling wonderful" late Saturday night at his celebration party with fellow candidate Jim Parrow and other MUD candidates."I think the citizens were ready for council and a mayor that would really listen to them," Sanders said. "I pledge to do that."Sanders said he is grateful for the support of the MUD directors and looks forward to furthering a cohesive environment between the two organizations. His first order of business in office is to institute a citizens' round table with open discussions."It would be something where council and staff met periodically with groups of citizens who had concerns," he said. "It would be an open environment with dialogue where we can problem solve together and make sure to do what the citizens want to do."He said it will be a "new day" in Trophy Club as the different entities continue to work together.Place one candidate Jim Parrow, a real estate company owner and broker, defeated his opponent, geophysicist Larry Hoover, by 26 percent of the votes. Parrow won with 63 percent of votes to Hoover's 37 percent.Trophy Club MUDTwo incumbents for the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District will keep their seats on the board.Place 3 incumbent Kevin Carr beat with 60 percent of votes to Glenn Strother's 40 percent.

The Blackberry Curve has been a great smartphone for me. It is light weight, full of features and easy to use. I previously had a Blackberry Tour which was a good phone, but the trackball was absolutely terrible. The [ad#Blackberry Curve (9330)] replaces the traditional trackball with the touch-sensitive optical trackpad technology which offers the same navigational function as the trackball but is more reliable and is a HUGE improvement. The Curve seems to navigate the web faster than the Tour did (must be the 3G) and I even like the keyboard better. The only thing I would change would be the camera. The image quality is not great and it does not have a flash. Most importantly though, my Curve has never crashed!
[ad#Blackberry Curve 9330 image]
I was forced to upgrade my phone when the trackball on my Tour finally stopped working completely. Even though my [ad#Blackberry Tour 9630] crashed and lost my data, I do love Blackberry. The fact that I was easily able to easily restore everything, including all of my contacts and messages to my new phone using the desktop manager is ultimately what made me decide to stick with Blackberry rather than considering a Droid or myTouch 4G.
Some of my favorite features include;
- Touch-sensitive Optical Trackpad Technology For Navigation
- Surf The Internet At Broadband-like Speeds With A WiFi Hotspot Or 3G Data Connection
- 2 Megapixel Camera/ Camcorder
- Integrated GPS Provides Support For BlackBerry Maps and Other Location-based Services
- Dedicated Media Keys On Top For Easy Access To Music and Video Controls
- Attachment Viewing (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Bluetooth Wireless Technology. Connect Wirelessly To Other Bluetooth-enabled Devices Including Car Kits and Headsets and Bluetooth Stereo Headsets which allow you to Stream Music Wirelessly With Stereo Bluetooth Capable Headphones (Not Included)
Choosing the Curve was an easy choice. It has tons of great features and you can pick one up for free here! [ad#Blackberry Curve 9330]

November 27, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tom Bergeron is leaving "America's Funniest Home Videos" at the end of next season, but William Shatner is not quitting Twitter.
The two became linked when Bergeron announced this week that he would step down as host of the show next year. That prompted Shatner to tweet that he was inspired by Bergeron to tweet no more.
But that was only a shared joke with his pal Bergeron, according to Shatner's publicist, Putnam & Smith. The "Star Trek" actor, a prolific tweeter, has nearly 1.8 million followers.
The proof Shatner is still tweeting is online. Among his messages Thursday was one calling attention to National Coconut Torte Day and National Potato Chip Day, both this week. "Cake and chips," Shatner posted on Twitter.

Pretty sure the monk travel time is in beta to just help speed testing along for the new class, allowing people to level faster, do quests faster, and get abilities faster so we can all see MoP live faster.
They may still end up being mobile but as you point out Mike, mountless travel like that is overpowered.
Plenty of people have MOP footage, but very few are as funny as MikeB's.
Good work, looking forward to more.

Roy was courteous and pleasant and didnt know what floating gas gauge was either. He also gave a small discount for all the trouble we had during the trip.
None. Great job.
Get a system so that a truck can be picked-up when it is promised. I have read independent reviews on the internet, and lots of people have had this same problem.
Roy was great, but my reservation was set up for a 26ft truck to be picked up in Wichita Falls about a mile from my house and the first time I was given was 8:00 am. Then the time changed to 10:00 am and finally to 2:00pm. The day I was supposed to pick up my truck I received a text saying I was getting a shorter truck (@ the same price) at 2:00pm and the location changed to Burkburnett! On moving day the last thing on my mind was how to organize uhaul's equipment. Roy was the only uhaul agent that showed any empathy at all. I was told on the phone that $50 would be returned due to missing the reservation. We will see. I think if that penalty for missing the reservation was a little higher and affected the managers at the locations they'd find a way to get the job done better.
Roy is great made. Us feel at easy with the move

West Michigan father, adult son, nephew killed in 2-car crash on Detroit's Lodge expressway
Updated On: Aug 19 2013 08:33:40 AM EDT
A two-car crash on Detroit's Lodge expressway early Sunday killed a Grand Rapids-area man, his adult son and nephew and injured two other people, Michigan State Police say.
The crash happened about 12:30 a.m. Sunday just north of the Davison Freeway interchange, Lt. Michael A. Shaw said in a statement. He said speed, alcohol and failure to use safety belts "appear to be possible factors in the crash." However, all three of those killed were belted in, he said.
Witnesses saw a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo traveling north at high speed and then hitting a 2006 Toyota Corolla, also northbound, Shaw said.
"The Toyota overturned as a result of the collision," Shaw said. Three of the four in the car were pronounced dead at the scene, and the fourth was transported to a hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening, he said.
The Chevrolet had two occupants, Shaw said. He said the passenger was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening, while the 21-year-old male driver from Detroit wasn't hurt.
Those killed were the Toyota's 67-year-old driver, Brian K. Kelly, of Kentwood; Daniel B. Kelly, 31, of Kentwood; and Keeland T. Johns, 18, of Grand Rapids.
Shaw said they were coming from a Detroit Tigers game.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee cited the University of Miami`s controversial conduct in the Cotton Bowl as among reasons it acted Wednesday to crack down on ``taunting and showboating.``
The committee adopted provisions to strengthen existing regulations against taunting during its three-day meetings this week in Corpus Christi.
``I`ve been directed by the football rules committee to inform the American Football Coaches Association once again that we consider taunting and baiting to be the game`s No. 1 problem because of the negative image it`s creating for the game,`` said Yankee Conference Commissioner David Nelson, the football rules committee secretary. ``We need the cooperation of the coaches to get the players to conform.``

Clothing styles for an hourglass figure?
A lot of people say A-line skirts look good... but to me they're not that flattering on an hourglass. People also say to cinch the waist with a belt but to me belts look bad on hourglass shapes, I actually think it makes their waist look bulkier - think about it, they're adding something there. However on people with a more rectangular shape, a belt works wonders there.So besides a v neck (if your bust is a C cup or bigger) and tight dress/skirts/clothes, I can't think of anything else that works besides diagonal lines on things.No no's:mini pleated skirts (like lots of pleats)empire waistflowy skirts/dressesno deep cuts that show off too much cleavage because it looks trashy on C cups and overno vintage styles usuallyno frills, especially ones that go horizontally on skirts - does absolutely nothing for yano high neck topsI duno, I like my figure but I'm really bored of what I can do with it. Seems like the same sh*t. I feel like clothing stores are barely making clothes for hourglasses, they're coming up with really nice ones for more rectangular figures and flat chests. I love the styles they can wear but I'd look stupid with it on. Argh, I'm going through one of those clothing frustration moments where I want to chuck everything away and start again.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
How about maxi dresses? Avoid belts, right...with a frilly tiop shawl type covering, maybe chiffon in hot weather, just to break up the silhouette.Loose fitting slacks, not skinny jeans!
I've never worn a maxi dress because they never have the right cut up top but till I do I won't doubt that it would look good! *maxi dress hunt*
You can find any possible variety..Thanks for the best Answer
What Guys Said 1
What do you mean No Vintage You will look smashing in any dress meant to be worn with a corset.Check out a periods of fashion book from the library and check out the styles that require waist cinching undergarments and your set.modern A-lines are often badly thought out and you are right about a lot of belts that they are inexplicably paired with don't work. Look back to the classic poodle skirt and blouse the belt if any is very thin 1/2' or less.Also unfortunately the Fashion terminology for A-Line has shifted en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-line will show how YSL has bamboozled you and stolen your choice.Otherwise You could just chose a Hourglass shaped celeb like Linda Cardellini make like a Paparazzi and stalk her wardrobe for ideas.
Oh crud, sorry, I didn't think corset at all when I wrote this. It's irritating me that I can't find a good vintage style dress when I want to show you what I mean. So... basically this shape link but no where as flashy or pretty, just plain structured usually thick looking material, that's all the rage in the shops right now.LOL the a-line in wiki is HORRIBLE.
The proportions on that dress are 'off'.
What Girls Said 2
Vintage works wonderfully on hourglass figures!It's tailored and stream-lined, and made to accentuate curves. Just think of burlesque - that's all about the vintage and the hour-glass.Also - pleated skirts can work very well on an hourglass so long as they're high-waisted. I suppose it depends on your weight surround your figure. But for most hourglass figures the rules are the simplest of all shapes. Wear clothes that a fitted but not too tight. You generally don't want anything to flowing. Tailored, fitted clothes work best because they show of the silhouette - and the hourglass is pretty much the desired shape for women, so just wear clothes that show that off.
I feel you girl- particularly about clothing marketing to "rectangular shapes". Here's what I like to wear... tons of fitted tanks, blazers, cardigans and fitted sweaters. I'm personally big on solids, and dressing them up with cool accessories (printed scarves, cool necklaces, earrings...). I don't really wear a lot of the "flowy" tops that are in style right now because while they are cute, they just end up making my naturally hourglass figure look kinda boxy. It seems like it's all they sell though! I pair a lot of stuff with skinny jeans (black, denim, white for summer etc..), leggings (navy, black), and I skirts sometimes. Oh, and dresses (Love the sweater dresses!). My advice: Find a muse. This could be celebrity that you think has a figure similar to yours, and also is a good dresser. One of my personal favorite fashionistas is the gorgeous Kim Kardashian. She has Killer curves and girlfriend knows how to work them. Then, see if you can copy her outfits (without spending all the money tough, lol). PS:1)don't shy away from belts- they're fantastic. The trick is the size of the belt. Wear it over something. Make it hit at the smallest part of your waist. Look up examples of good belt wearing. 2) One more thing- you're lucky. Hourglass figures are hot. so Rock it ;)

Neumann KM 184 user reviews
Neumann KM 184 - "i bought two of them" - stompboxjon
My next experiment with the KM 184 by Neumann will be to try to use them on some drums and see how they respond. Maybe on a kick drum and a punchy snare jus to see how they respond and then I will make a decision from there if I want to use them for more than what I already am. The KM 184 is a great mic and at a low cost.
Neumann KM 184 - "Basic mic great for beginner " - yoTrakkz
The Neumann KM 184 mic can work with anything. We use one of these and one dynamic mic and we can produce a full well recorded album. Its great for recording amps and cabs as well as vocals and acoustic instruments.

I have been using these for many years, they are somewhat of a staple in many studios. These are some of the best you can get for small diaphragm condensers.

Neumann KM 184 - earz
It is a good microphone to do anything that proves Excellent live if there is a good preamp behind. It is solid. It may seem a bit expensive but no need to fiddle with the eq in every sense to make out something which is never the case of micro cheaper claiming to have the same quality.
