The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado refused Jan. 17 to sign off on a proposed settlement of a Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action against two Colorado men and their company who allegedly defrauded investors of more than $6 million in a Ponzi scheme (SEC v. Bridge Premium Finance LLC, D. Colo., No. 1:12-cv-02131-JLK-BNB, 1/18/13).
In August 2012, the commission obtained emergency relief temporarily halting the alleged scheme (158 SLD, 8/16/12).
Without detailing the underlying accord, Judge John L. Kane Jr. said he "refuse[s] to approve penalties against a defendant who remains defiantly mute as to the veracity of the allegations against him."
"A defendant's options in this regard are binary; he may admit the allegations or he may go to trial."
Kane also objected to language in which the defendants waived their right to the entry of factual findings and legal conclusions pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 52 and their right to appeal. "These findings are important to inform the public and the appellate courts," the court wrote.
Kane is not the first judge to object to an SEC settlement in which the alleged wrongdoer neither admits nor denies misconduct. The agency currently is embroiled in litigation over the refusal of Judge Jed Rakoff, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, to sign off on a proposed $285 million pact with (C) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (see, e.g., 06 SLD, 1/9/13).

President Nixon: Yeah.
Operator: Yes—
President Nixon: Did you have somebody for me?
Operator: [Unclear]—
President Nixon: Hello?
Operator: Not us, Mr. President.
President Nixon: Mrs. Nixon, he said, it—
Operator: Oh. [Pause.]
President Nixon: [aside to White House Chief of Staff H.R. "Bob" Haldeman] [Defense Secretary] Melvin R. Laird.
Operator: Mrs. Nixon, Mr. President.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Pat Nixon: Dick?
President Nixon: Yeah.
Pat Nixon: You know, I had planned a congressional [wives luncheon], one of the ones, on Monday, and-–
President Nixon: Yeah.
Pat Nixon: —according to the information we have, that's the day that-–
President Nixon: We return.1
Pat Nixon: —they're going to try to stop all Washington-–
President Nixon: Yeah.
Pat Nixon: —the bridges, et cetera and et cetera. 2Do you think–-and some of the ladies have called in-–
President Nixon: Oh, yeah.
Pat Nixon: —and have been kind of concerned.
President Nixon: Yeah, let me just check. I've got Haldeman coming in just now, I'll check with him.
Pat Nixon: Yeah.
President Nixon: Yeah, because they're—he's got the report from the command center.
Pat Nixon: Yeah. Well, will you let me know as soon as possible?
President Nixon: What? No, no, I'll talk to him right now. Hang on.
Pat Nixon: OK.
President Nixon: [aside, to Haldeman] What is the situation on the . . . she has a congressional wives luncheon planned on Monday. That is a day, you know, they're planning to stop traffic and some of the congressional wives have called in to know whether or not it should go forward.
Bob Haldeman: [In the background] [Unclear] business as usual.
President Nixon: [to Mrs. Nixon] Yeah. We really think we ought to go forward. We're going ahead with business as usual, and if they don't get there, let them be irritated by the fact that these people kept them out. Traffic will be cleared by noon, anyway, because we're having the police move in to clear the traffic. So we think you ought to go ahead with it.
Pat Nixon: Mmm-hmm.
President Nixon: I think it'd be good. I think postponing it-–
Pat Nixon: Well, see, this is the idea.
President Nixon: It'd be a very bad-–
Pat Nixon: That if it's going to be bad, our help can't come. They're not going to ask the help to come. Did you know that?
President Nixon: Well, the help?
Pat Nixon: Yes.
President Nixon: Well you—well they sure as hell will.
Pat Nixon: We can't put the party on without the help.
President Nixon: All right, fine. The help will be there. We'll have them stay overnight. We'll arrange it on Sunday. Just have [Chief Usher] Rex [Scouten] check to see what help you need.
Pat Nixon: Mm-hmm.
President Nixon: And to make arrangements for them. He should make arrangements for them to be billeted overnight on Sunday so that they can be in there to do the work in the morning. And it's all taken care of, and we budgeted it here. So you just tell Rex to take care, to get a hold of Bob if he needs any, you know, anything [unclear]. Don't worry about the budget thing. We've got a special fund for that purpose. We'll just have the help stay in a hotel or something like that and then come in. Fair enough?
Pat Nixon: Mm-hmm. OK.
President Nixon: I think it'll work fine.
Pat Nixon: OK.
President Nixon: You see, we just must not appear that [unclear]-–
Pat Nixon: To, yeah, let them change our lives-–
President Nixon: [Unclear] driving us out. Yeah, absolutely. We're not going to let 'em do it.
Pat Nixon: Mm-hmm.
President Nixon: And if you have half a crowd, that's all right.
Pat Nixon: Mm-hmm.
President Nixon: Fine. OK.
Pat Nixon: Good.
President Nixon: Bye.

Unexpected surprises
I returned to blogland to find that the lovely filler-post I'd pre-set to go live Friday morning had a photo-malfunction. That has been remedied.
I also discovered photos of a familiar quilt were on another blog. I was shocked. As a result I've had a few questions about the good old I-spy quilt.
I am going to continue to carry the I-spy precut charm sets in my shop indefinitely. I no longer have the kits for the original quilt [because I am out of the border and back fabrics], but plan to have a new quilt/kit sometime after the dust settles from our move. Also, because of the move, I can not take any more custom orders at the present time.
Thank you SO much Gabby and friends for your kind comments and encouragement. They were much needed today.

A successful party requires three things: good food, good music, and an appearance from partyman Mike Jedsen of Ocala, Florida. Throw a classic bash with this Groupon.

- $10 for 20 latex balloons (a $20 value)
- $19 for 4 latex-balloon centerpieces (a $48 value)
- $39 for 8 latex-balloon centerpieces (a $96 value)
- $59 for a single-string 50-foot latex-balloon arch (a $200 value)
Air Lollipops
With just one look at Air Lollipops' balloon centerpieces, it's easy to see how the business got its name. Anchored by curled ribbons, Mylar and latex balloons emblazoned with well wishes and colorful shapes enliven parties, bringing joy to the celebrated and their guests like oversized all-day suckers. From single strands to 50-foot arches, the arranged balloons add an element of whimsy to school dances, baby showers, and hearings about changes to the municipal tax code.

Chad Kroeger Slams Deryck Whibley For Avril Costume
Looks like Chad Kroeger, Nickleback singer and fiance of Avril Lavigne, doesn't have the greatest sense of humor.
The Nickelback singer, 37, didn't like the fact that his fiance's ex Deryck Whimbley dressed up as the "Complicated" singer for Halloween. But that was only half of the costume…Whimbley's current girlfriend, Ari Cooper, made up the other half of the couples costume, dressing up as Kroeger with a stringy blond wig, and facial hair.
Ohh, snap! A bold choice, and I kind of like it.
Of course, Kroeger was unamused, taking his attitude to twitter. Said Kroeger: "Hey Deryck loved the costumes!" Kroeger tweeted. "We were going to dress up as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes haha!"Ohh, snappier! As you may or may not know, Whibley, 32, and Lavigne, 28, split in 2009 after three years of marriage, and the drama never ends, does it?

In the spirit of the holidays and the second annual SANTA ACTUAL fundraising campaign to build video game care packages, we took a little different route for our NAUGHTY LIST care package. Generally, Operation Supply Drop was designed to send video games to troops deployed to international combat zones like Iraq and Afghanistan…and then, something happened.
The Los Angeles Film School graciously helped to promote Operation Supply Drop's "8-Bit Salute to Gamers" during their annual Veteran's Day fundraising event, and my wife Margo and myself traveled to Los Angeles to be a part of the fundraising festivities. While we were there, we learned about Sarah and her three boys. Sarah's husband, who was also a student at the Film School, suffered serious injuries while in Iraq and never fully recovered from them, dying in March 2012. We heard about this family and the fact that these boys, aged 12, 8 and 4 were trying their best to have their first Christmas without their dad. It also happens these boys have a Playstation 3 and had been sending Santa threatening letters for him to bring them a Wii U for Christmas, so we felt that Operation Supply Drop was in a unique position to help give these boys one heck of an incredible Christmas surprise.
The interesting issue is that we've never had to put a care package together for kids, where we have to actually take into consideration that we can't send along mature rated titles that we would usually send over to soldiers. Fortunately, over the course of the year, people and developers have donated a substantial amount of t-shirts, plushies and other knick-knacks that soldiers might ignore, but kids would go nuts for to find in a stocking over the fireplace, so we actually had a pretty decent sized care package ready to go…with of course, the centerpiece being a deluxe 32 GB Wii U.
Here's the final inventory for our little care package!
32 GB Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Bundle
1 x New Super Mario Brothers U
1 x NintendoLand
1 x Bath and Body Works Package (ask Margo, no idea)

1 x Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban (Gameboy Advance)
1 x Star Wars Jedi Power Battles (Gameboy Advance)
1 x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Gameboy Advance)
1 x Around the World in 80 Days (Gameboy Advance)
1 x Battleship dog tags
1 x The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii)
1 x Ratchet and Clank All 4 One (PS3)
1 x Virtua Tennis 3 (PS3)
1 x Madden 08 (PS3)

1 x Skate (PS3)
Total Care Package Value (Based on Amazon Pricing, Before Shipping Costs): $1204.42
Okay, so we're helping out Sarah's family for Christmas, but we're sending out another five care packages to military units stationed overseas for the holidays with SANTA ACTUAL 2! We rushed Sarah's package out the door so the kids could get it for Christmas, but we're still raising money to fill out the rest of these care packages. If you'd like to help us out with one helping fill one of these care packages, here are four ways you can donate:
1) Use the Chipin link on the front of Front Towards Gamer.com. OR
2) Use the Chipin link on the front page of Operation Supply Drop.org. OR
3) Make a Paypal donation to firstname.lastname@example.com.
4) If you don't want to send cash, you can simply send your used games or gear to the following address to make the next care package:
Operation Supply Drop
9301 Alvyn Lake Circle
Bristow VA, 20136
You know, and even if you can't donate, just help get the word out on Twitter, Facebook, and other various social media links! You help out and it costs you nothing but a few seconds of your time!

Tomorrow: Brooklyn Philharmonic Presents "A Bad Workman Blames His Tools" At B'hurst JCH
Posted By Erica Sherman On February 28, 2013 @ 1:00 pm In Events | No Comments
As we reported on Sheepshead Bites last month, the Brooklyn Philharmonic's "Brighton Beach Series [1]" — which will not be taking place in Brighton Beach [2] — will feature the family workshop, "A Bad Workman Blames His Tools" at the Edith and Carl Marks Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst, 7802 Bay Parkway, March 3 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
A description of the event from organizers:
Russian folk music was born in a rich peasant culture, centuries ago and 5,000 miles away, by artists who created music using whatever resources were at their disposal, from wood blocks to washboards to tablespoons. Lack of proper tools held no sway over creativity of the human spirit! The remarkable and distinctive folk music they created had an enormous impact beginning with orchestral music of the 19th century and expanding on into the music of today. The public is invited to join charismatic teaching artists and Brooklyn Phil musicians in a hands-on discovery of these creative traditions.
The event is free of charge, and you can RSVP by going here [3]. For further information, call (718) 488-5700, email email@example.com [4] or go to www.bphil.org [5].

Coming Soon! Giant Lego Storage (We Kid You Not!)
Height of cool alert! I'm quite the Lego fan (like a lot of people) so when I saw these giant Lego storage boxes on the Ideal Home magazine blog, HomeShoppingSpy, I got myself into one of my shopping palpitation tizzies. Tapping into the trend for playing with scale, there's the (slightly scary) storage head, £17, small storage boxes £14 and the large, £23 and they're designed similarly to Lego so you can also build with them…if your budget extends that far. Available from August at Store. We expect these to be a hit!
*UPDATED* Due to the overwhelming demand they are now available to pre-order for delivery in August. Swoop!
Tagged Furniture, giant Lego Storage, Lego, stackable storage for kids rooms, toy storage

Those palpitations are contagious!!!! I was a mega nerd in childhood and my love for lego has never faded. Have been on the look out for interesting storage solutions for ages (just haven't been able to bring myself to do IKEA – as brilliant as they often are), but as usual BG has healed my inertia!!! Store, I have diarised the August release date!
Must. Have. It. NOW!
Thanks for the great feedback all…Just to let you know that I'm expecting to have the first production run of LEGO storage boxes finished mid to late July so you may not have to wait until August Ruth!
Simon @ STORE
These are fantastic! Will definately be purchasing some, thank you for finding them!
Oh, I love these! Will be obsessively checking the website in July now!
Hi All,
A quick update to let you know that because I've been inundated with phone calls about the LEGO storage boxes we've decided to upload them to our storage solutions web shop now for pre-ordering.
Lots of people asking about white coloured blocks too so I've decided to produce a few in glossy white as well, which look GREAT!
Thanks again for all your kind words!
Simon @ STORE
Hi Simon….
I am desperately trying to locate these Lego Storage Blocks in the U.S. with no luck. I have tried to order them from the U.K but no one that I know of will ship them to the U.S. Do you ship to the U.S? If you could let me know I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much! Carrie

Inspired Living Presents
Three Keys to Sustaining Relationships
* Are you feeling disconnected emotionally from your partner?
* Are you having the same argument over and over without resolution, only ongoing frustration?
* Are you afraid your relationship is failing and you don't know what to do to fix It?
If you answered yes to one or all of these questions then these sessions may be for you.
Based upon Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples approach and the founder, Dr. Sue Johnson's book, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love, The Three Keys is an educational opportunity that gives you tools to begin repairing the problems that you and many couples face in their relationships. Emotion Focused Therapy is revolutionizing couple therapy and rigorous studies during the past 15 years have shown that 70 to 75% of couples who go through EFT recover from distress and are happy in their relationships. The results appear to be lasting even with couples who are at high risk for divorce. EFT has been recognized by the American Psychological Association as an empirically proven form of couple therapy.
For your introduction to the EFT approach to couples therapy attend one or all of these educational seminars. Attend one, two or all three sessions to receive valuable, practical tips toward feeling more e connected and less caught in repetitive arguments to have the relationship you want to have.
Key #1.
The A.R.E of Relationships: Accessible, Responsive and Engaged.
Canmore Wellness Centre - 7.00PM-8.00PM
Are you there for me? Will you respond to me? Will you engage with me? You will learn what is at the heart of disconnection in your relationships and how to use this understanding to reconnect with your partner.
Key #2.
The Demon Dialogues.
Canmore Wellness Centre - 7.00PM-8.00PM
There are habitual and distinct patterns of disconnection that arise between couples who care deeply for each other deeply that can be identified and changed. You will learn to identify one pattern that hijacks connection, your part in that pattern and how to change it so that you and your partner work together to defeat the pattern's grip on your closeness.
Key #3.
Finding the Raw Spot.
Canmore Wellness Centre - 7.00PM-8.00PM
Underneath the demon dialogues is the vulnerable emotion propelling you to attach securely to your partner. In this session you will learn to identify these softer emotions and to use them to create a closer more intimate connection with your partner.
Using the book Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love, Patricia will gently guide you toward more fulfilling relationships in your life.
The location of these seminars is the Canmore Health and Wellness Centre in Canmore, 105, 705 9th Street, on the Walk of Champions.

In The High Rise Glorious Skittle Skat Roarious Sky Pie Angel Food Cake a young girl plans to surprise her mother with a birthday cake baked from great-grandma's long-lost recipe. Rooting about in the attic, she discovers the recipe minus one mysterious ingredient. Great-grandma has hidden the secret because the whole recipe is so irresistible ''to man and beast, woman and bird'' that it's dangerous.
So far, so fey. But when the girl (we never do learn her name) finds the secret and it turns out to be writing ''love'' backwards in spilled sugar before stirring the batter, the story threatens to buckle under the weight of its relentless whimsy.
Three angels come to the rescue. They're lured from heaven by the smell of the baking cake, and they're truly wonderful. Watson's luminous paintings reveal the angels to be a tall blond man, an Asian girl, and a little African-American girl all of them dazzling in their swirl of wings and light. Willard's prose rises to their presence, suddenly taking off with a delicious blend of fantasy and down-to-earth irony.
The angels create both chaos and magic, and the story ends with a happy family birthday breakfast graced by a special maybe even heavenly surprise. Cake is definitely as odd as its title, but it's odd in a satisfying way. B+

Suicide and society: Where does responsibility for preventing suicide lie?
Every time a well-known person commits suicide, I brace myself for a torrent of well-meaning but patronizing advice to suicidal people on various social networks and blogs as the friends of the victim try to find something – anything – … Continue reading

TV & Radio
Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila eliminated from My Kitchen Rules
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- February 07, 2013
- "We were portrayed very negatively,'' said Jessie Khan
- Spice Girls understood where all the hate came from
- NRl footballer's racist slur to MKR's Spice Girls
MKR'S Jessie said they forgot the microphones were on, and defended herself against claims they were rude, "bad girls" on the hit reality TV show.
In an exclusive blog for News Limited, Jessie Khan told fans they were trying to have fun and stay honest, but she did not think they were rude.
"We are opinionated but I don't think we're rude," she said.
Contrary to public opinion about her and Biswa Kamila, she defended them saying they were nice and "just joking" on the show.
"We were just joking on the show. If you met us in person, you would see the same people on the show but also that we're nice! We were judging the food, not the contestants and were just being honest about the food."
She also mentioned how Sandilands had helped them since they met this week.
"We didn't mean to be bad girls, we were just having fun and being honest. We only just met Kyle Sandilands so he's only given us tips since the show went to air and he's awesome. We love him!," she said.
In hindsight, she said that they could have scored a "little higher" than a 1 when it came to Jake and Elle's meal.
"It was a little bit strategic but we honestly just didn't like the food. But maybe the mark could have been a little higher," she said.
Khan added they were not meant to be ambassadors for the Bangladeshi/Indian communities living in Australia, contrary to what viewers might think.
She did not believe the show was about race when asked if she thought being Indian made Australia hate them more.
"I don't think it was about the race. It was just the way we came across wasn't to everyone's tastes," she said.
"We didn't go on the show to be ambassadors for anyone but ourselves. I don't think anyone should take us as a whole community and culture, we're just being ourselves."
She said they were surprised by the public reaction to their time on the show, and still maintained they acted appropriately.
"We were just being ourselves and honest and whether it's appropriate or not, each to their own. And don't forget, it was a TV show and we were there to judge the food."
Khan also tipped Mick and Matt to take this year's MKR title.
For both of them, it was meant to be a fun and fabulous fifteen minutes of TV fame.
But such has been the scorching heat of publicity and viewer backlash, at least one half of the now infamous Spice Girls is "relieved" the pair have now been eliminated from Channel 7's mega-rating home-cooking show.
Khan admitted the vicious and racist reaction to their contentious appearance on MKR had left her shell-shocked by the TV experience and grateful they crashed out so early in the competition.

My Kitchen Rules' Spice Girls in Twitter race row
The NSW pairing had polarised the 2-million-plus audience with their antagonistic approach to the series, criticised for stirring the pot and undermining their rivals during the first week of home visits.
While Khan and her best friend Biswa had happily gone along with the producers' plan to play the bad girls, the reality of reality television editing left the two women in tears over their portrayal and the hateful public response which followed them.
Khan said she took death threats from the angriest fans seriously, but could not understood the level of venom directed of them over "just being ourselves."
She pointed to the out-of-context editing of footage, especially in the final days of their MKR lives, for painting them as emotionally manipulative and negative schemers.
"We're not such horrible people who hate everyone all the time," Khan said. "It was nothing like that and we came across to the public as such negative people.
She said the vile response on Twitter had been out of proportion to their alleged crimes.
"We didn't expect this reaction. We didn't think people would take us so seriously. The reaction has been out of proportion."
Admitting they had been guilty of "saying too much" to producers, Khan said her comments in particular had been sliced and diced during the Jake and Elle episode, making her seem like she was smiling at the their failings and upset when they succeeded in the eyes of the judges.
"That (editing) really upset me in the end because I knew that wasn't me. They filmed me smiling when actually I was reacting to them being praised by the judges and that wasn't what it seemed like on (air)."
While accepting the risks involved in signing up for reality TV, Khan said she felt manipulated at times by the process.
"It's part of the show (to be villain). You film for 12 hours and in the end you say anything. They (producers) were always really nice and ask you about things. You might not want to say them (on camera) but they'd say 'it's okay, say that.' Then they'd use it in a way that it wasn't meant to be."
On the upside, the friends felt vindicated by the wild ratings success of the show, especially the season peak hit during their home restaurant episode (which hit 3.2 million viewers across the metro and regional markets).
Not ruling out a return to the small screen, Khan said the double act would consider signing on to another lifestyle program, or even a reality vehicle like The Amazing Race.
On life as a villain, Khan revealed they had been taking advice from 2Day FM's shock jock Kyle Sandilands.
"I can't say he's humble," Khan said, "but he's nicer than we thought he'd be and he gave us advice before the show started and we'd listen to him again."

Women are stirring up the restaurant industry: They now own approximately one of every three restaurants. According to the Census Bureau, the number of eating-and-drinking establishments owned by women increased 41 percent between 1987 and 1992. In the same period, the number of restaurants owned by men decreased 6 percent.
Women restaurateurs also outpaced men in total sales, doubling receipts over that five-year period, while men's establishments grew by 29 percent. Where women restaurateurs lag behind men is in average sales, which were $215,400, almost 40 percent lower than the $343,100 average earned by men.
The National Restaurant Association confirms women entering the industry is a long-term trend. "There aren't as many barriers to entry in this business. You can start a small restaurant, which may attract women who traditionally haven't been able to get large loans," says the asso-ciation's Caitlin Storhaug. "It's one of the last industries where you can really fulfill the American dream."

((and EffectInstance) and Flex 2.0.1)
I got this error message when opening up a project developed last year in Flex 2.0 in my new install of Flex Builder 2.0.1 (with Flex SDK 2.0.1).
Simply there's a change in the API that I hadn't noticed. At least not till the time it mattered. Here it is :
import mx.effects.EffectInstance;
override protected function initInstance(instance:EffectInstance):void
should be changed to :
import mx.effects.IEffectInstance;
override protected function initInstance(instance:IEffectInstance):void
No big drama, although had to think about it for a second and this head's up might help someone else.

When the Sasquatch Festival came to Washington State last month, nu-grass superstars Mumford & Sons — who, fuck you guys, are OK — were headliners, and Elvis Costello was also on the bill. And the anti-poverty initiative Agit8 brought both acts together to film a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost Of Thom Joad," giving the song a soft and mythic reading and throwing a bit of Woody Guthrie's "Do Re Mi" in there as well. Watch the performance below.
(via Rolling Stone)
Shout out to whoever thought to take advantage of the Sasquatch-area scenery; this thing looks great.

Bounty : at the order of the Orders of Tyria, we must seek and destroy a number of Bosses on different maps, within a specific time limit.
Trek : we must discover and visit a location somewhere in the entire world of Tyria, through clues given to us by a member of the Tyrian Explorer's Society.
Rush : we must make our way through traps and treacherous grounds, in the company of our guildies as a prequisite and a necessity - otherwise death will be swift! Oh, a little something I forgot to mention: we must do this while transformed to some pathetically weak animal, with its respective skills.
Challenge : team work, at its zenith. A combination of rush and trek and defend and anything else you can think of. It requires many people and very good coordination to pull this one off.
Puzzle : the mother of challenges, is has been described as a "puzzle and a jumping challenge all in one!". It requires cooperation between many groups of people, working together to overcome the obstacles and reach the treasure chest at the end of the course.

Stefan and Sachin pack a punch
Stefan Dennis dishes the dirt on playing Neighbours' Mr Nasty - and teases an upcoming fight scene between Paul and Ajay.
For Stefan Dennis, Neighbours' resident Mr Nasty, having to throw a punch on screen is familiar territory.
Over the years, Stefan's character Paul Robinson has been the victim of an array of physical attacks, including being shot by his first wife; thrown off a cliff, resulting in the loss of his leg; and, more recently, ending up in a coma after being hurled from a balcony by Rebecca.
According to the Ramsay Street veteran, in the early production days, fight scenes weren't as strictly choreographed by health and safety officers as they are today.
'I remember doing a scene with Alan Dale, who played my father back in the eighties. He had to slap me, and we felt the only way it was going to look real was if he actually hit me,' explains Stefan. 'He ended up belting me about eight times. I had swollen cheeks by the end of the scene and Al just felt terrible.'
Stefan and Sachin Jaob, who plays Ajay Kapoor, have had a rocky relationship since the ambitious local councillor turned full-time lawyer joined the neighbourhood. On set this week the duelling pair, who are great friends off-screen, came to blows; however, neither of the seasoned pros would reveal who threw the first punch and why.
'Ahh, you'll have to watch and see. However, I can say that any after-effects were applied by the make-up department, which we were both very pleased about,' laughs Stefan. 'I think if Sachin punched me for real, I'd be back in a coma; he is a pretty fit guy!'

9/10 It's not what you install, It's how you use them and manage them that counts.
For example: If you have Utorrent sat constently in your taskbar, uploading/seeding to other torrent users, Then your pc will slow down a little, mainly your Internet connection.

Win7 is always fast and never hangs with a perfect install on adequate hardware. Take a look at these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which are the same for retail.
Until you get around to that you can Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
I'd also Optimize Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums especially editing visual effects of animation, fading, sliding, dragging intact and selection rectangle which hog RAM.

Staff Senate, representing three staff employee groups, is composed of twelve members: six elected by administrative/managerial/professional staff members, three elected by office staff, and three elected by members of service staff. Every five years, prior to election, representation will be reviewed to ensure maintenance of proportional representation.
Terms of membership are three years. A member may be removed from Staff Senate by two-thirds majority vote of the members for cause.
The Director of Human Resources serves as an ex-officio member.
If the immediate past-president is not re-elected to Staff Senate, that individual will become a non-voting ex-officio member for the year immediately following their presidency.
The officers of Staff Senate are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The duties of the officers are as follows:
Vice President:
Officers are elected for one-year terms by Senate members as the last item of business at the April meeting. Newly elected Senate members are asked to attend the meeting and participate only in the election.Outgoing Senators are not eligible to vote.
The Director of Human Resources will conduct the election of Staff Senate officers. In the event of the Director's absence, he/she will designate an out-going member of Staff Senate to conduct the actual election and/or any portions thereof as deemed necessary due to the Director's absence.
The Director, or his/her designee, shall solicit nominations from continuing and newly elected Staff Senate members during the month of April prior to the meeting. Persons can self-nominate or nominate another member. The Director, or his/her designee, will ascertain a nominee's willingness to serve as an officer after receiving a nomination.
The Director, or his/her designee, will prepare a ballot with all nominations listed and nominations will be accepted from the floor. Election will be by secret ballot, to be counted by the Director, or his/her designee. A simple majority of the votes will elect.
It is suggested that the President have served at least one year on the Senate. The President will refrain from voting except in the event of a tie per Robert's Rules of Order. When a tie occurs, a revote will be taken which includes the President. New officers will assume their duties effective May 1 through April 30, concurrent with the Senate year.
Should the President resign, the Vice President will assume the President's role for the remainder of the elected term of office. Should a vacancy occur in the other offices, an election will be held at the next meeting to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the elected term of office.
Staff Senators, whose service area changes during their three-year term, will continue in their current capacity until the next election.
Two Staff Senate Representatives are elected to serve on the Professional Conduct Committee coordinated by Faculty Senate. The two Staff Senate representatives are elected for one-year terms by the full Staff Senate at the regular April meeting with their term to begin May 1. The Director of Human Resources, or his/her designee, will conduct the election, with nominations being accepted from the floor. Election will be by secret ballot; a simple majority of the votes will elect.
Staff Senate members must serve on at least one committee each year. Staff Senate standing committees must have at least four persons, including one from each group of employees represented on the Senate. At least one of the persons must be a Senate member. Any staff member may serve on a standing committee, and appointments will come from recommendations made to the Senate
Ad hoc committees must consist of at least four persons, with at least one of the persons being a Senate member. Any staff member may serve on an ad hoc committee, but it is strongly recommended that all four employee groups of Staff Senate be represented. Additional appointments will come from recommendations made to the Senate.
Each committee will select a chair from its membership, and all members of the committee are eligible. Senate members serving on a committee will report on the committee's activities at regular Senate meetings. If official committee minutes were taken, a copy of them should be provided for the Vice President of Staff Senate. Committee composition will be reviewed in May at the beginning of each new term.
Standing Committees

Dior's New Digital Magazine Launches Today
In a new move to strengthen its digital stronghold, Dior is introducing a new online magazine that combines behind-the-scenes imagery with beautifully-shot videos and brand news.
This morning, Diormag.com went live with its first eight articles, though the cyber-title's editorial team plans to update it on a near daily basis with breaking house news and further features. We poked around the site earlier today, and loved what we saw—particularly a slideshow of outtakes from Natalie Portman's beautiful Sofia Coppola-shot Miss Dior Cherie ad and a making-of featurette starring the chain-handled Miss Dior handbag in luxe croc.
Considering Dior's rich legacy, it's not surprising that a portion of the mag is devoted to brand heritage, too—the launch letter even shares tales of Christian Dior's superstitious streak (before runway shows, he used to sew lily of the valley into dress linings for good luck). Diormag.com is a must-click for fans of the label, and we'll definitely be checking back in on Friday—Dior will be livestreaming its runway show for the first time ever.

In SEO – Be A Tortoise, Forget the Hare.
Posted by Aaron R Stewart on October 30th, 2007
On Aaron Wall's site www.seobook.com, Aaron Wall makes a statement which makes me chuckle every time I read it, not because it isn't somewhat true, but because I can imagine how it must drive others crazy. Aaron states,
"SEO is not hard, Anyone can be successful at it with the right information."
While I agree that anyone can be successful through SEO, if they have the right information and the right tools, I don't think SEO is "easy" for everyone, not even for most people. I personally have only met Aaron once, and have heard him present on a few occasions, and just based on those observations I can see why Aaron would see SEO as easy, I think for him SEO is easy. But for the rest of us, the average humans, SEO is tough work. It is especially difficult for those who are running more traditional/non-technical businesses. There is so much to do as a small business owner, and the entire organization relies on you and your efforts. Quite frankly you don't have the time to sit down and work with site optimization all day, or dedicate enough time to learn how to make the required changes to web site pages in just a day or two. It is going to take more time than that. How much time really depends on not only your available time, but also on how good your information and tools are.
With accurate information, like from Aaron's SEOBook, and excellent SEO tools, like we have developed here at SoloSEO, the SEO process can become more manageable, that much is true. But please never let anyone convince you SEO will be easy, unless you are a technological genius, and there are more than few using SEO as a profession. This hard work revelation probably isn't what anyone with aspirations of quickly making it big online wants to hear, but I wouldn't feel good about giving the impression SEO is some magic online wand, which when waved, instantly delivers more traffic and orders than a site can handle. It just doesn't work that way. I am sure there are many out there who have heard and believed the claims of this "SEO ease," then got in, got to work, and became quickly disenchanted with the SEO process, perhaps even felt frustrated at their inability to quickly grasp the "simpleness of SEO." If you have felt this way, you are not alone, it is common, it is okay.
As perhaps some of you have done, I have spent my life as a very average person, not overly smart, not overly quick, not overly fun, not overly funny, not overly thin, just not overly impressive in almost everything. Fortunately I came to grips with my total averageness a few years ago, and I realized my only chance to get ahead in this world, was just to work harder than the naturally talented and smarter people were willing to. I can't compete with the "blessed ones" one on one, hour to hour, but if I only sleep 4 hours, and they sleep 10, then I have picked up 6 hours a day on them, and my chances are better. I have no problem seeing myself as a tortoise, and I have always loved that story. I think most my fellow slower folks have too.
I think most entrepreneurs, who have created and succeeded in their own business, have either worked harder, or are "blessed." For most of us it is simply a matter of out-working the competition, we may never be the biggest, or grow the fastest, but we can be successful, and live a comfortable life by out-working the others. And if we work harder, using the best tools and information, we can not only increase our chances of success, but shorten the time required. The same is true with SEO.
To me SEO is similar to the process of digging for gold. There are many technologies we can use to find gold now, and those technologies get better all the time. With today's technology we simply don't have to head out with a shovel and start digging hither and thither until we find something shiny, there are better ways. But even with all the modern tools and technology, when it comes right down to it, getting the gold out of the ground is going to take work. We can dig with a shovel, we can dynamite, we can use large equipment, and we can hire an army of miners, but it is all work and it is required to reap the eventual reward. No way around it.
There is no doubt SEO can be worth much to a company looking to increase sales, it can take a struggling company trying to make any sale at all, and turn that company into an online success story. Where they once wondered if they would convince anyone to buy at all, they now they struggle with cash flow, barely having enough cash on hand to pay vendors, so they can barely stay ahead of the orders onslaught. But to experience this kind of transformation in online sales, the SEO work must happen. We are going to need to focus on our site's Keywords, Content, Links and effort must be spent to put it all in place. No way around it. We can use all kinds of great tools, and have the latest information to make our efforts as efficient and effective as possible. We can even hire others to do our SEO for us, but SEO is the price for long-term online rewards. SEO isn't easy for most people, it isn't a get rich quick scheme, there is nothing magic or extraordinary about it, but if the SEO work is done well, then success is more than likely, if not virtually assured. I like that about SEO, we can work harder at it than others do, and see success for our efforts. And as for all the other tortoises out there, I know you will like that about SEO too.

My wife is an audio engineer. Once she was editing a movie soundtrack, and there was this siren over the actors voice, so she had to edit out the siren, and leave the vocal in.
I said "That sounds hard." She said "It's not hard, you just have to know how to do it, and it takes a lot of time."
I said "That's the definition of hard right there."
2. Aaron R Stewart | October 30th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Well put, "hard" is relative. I personally think putting a pony tail in my daughter's hair near impossible, my wife can do it in the dark, in a moving car. SEO looks tough at first, it becomes easier with time and experience, but it will always be work.
Thank you for your comment.

NEW YORK (PIX11)—Ophadell Williams from Brooklyn was the driver of a doomed bus full of passengers returning from Mohegan Sun Casino when it flipped, slid, hit a pole, and was split open killing 15 people.
Williams, who survived, had reportedly worked for the company for six months despite having a prior arrest for a suspended license. At an early evening news conference, an NTSB investigator told reporters "We want to know about all aspects of this particular driver. About his training, and his experience. We want to know about fatigue management programs that the bus company has, all aspects of what the bus company does we are looking into that."
The ongoing accident investigation is reveals disturbing and conflicting information about the 40-year-old driver's actions and what happened to cause the accident.
A source close to the investigation told PIX 11 News that three of the crash victims in intensive care are able to speak to investigators through translators, and they are pointing the finger at the driver -- saying they felt he was speeding and driving in a reckless manner -- including repeatedly going over rumble strips on the road. passengers were reportedly so concerned they even questioned Williams about his driving, at which point he appeared angry for some unknown reason. The source furthermore said that at least one survivor has two broken legs and another may lose his hands due to the accident. Yet another a suffered severe facial disfigurement.
Citing what he considers an increasingly alarming safety record at a news conference today, New York's Senior Senator Charles Schumer demanded more oversight of discount bus services. Several New York state legislators have a new 'bus permit bill' pending in the New York State Legislature (see end of story).
Published reports reveal the driver had passed a breathalyzer test and preliminary evidence shows no sign of the bus being clipped or sideswiped. Over the weekend a representative of the bus company told PIX 11 News Ophadell's driving record was "clean". World Wide Travel's lawyer expressed condolences but would not discuss the mechanical condition of the bus or anything more about Ophadell Williams. The bus company has been cited for numerous violations mainly for tired drivers.
State Senator Daniel Squadron, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, and Council Member Margaret Chin announced a new bill being introduced in the state legislature today to create a first-ever permit system for intercity buses that pick up and drop off passengers on the street in New York City. The permit system would replace today's chaotic lack of rules, which has caused myriad problems for communities and bus companies -- including congestion, pollution and inefficiency. The permit system is intended to improve the health, safety and welfare of the public and neighborhood residents--addressing challenges that have arisen with the rapid expansion of the affordable bus industry in the last 15 years.
The proposed legislation would authorize New York City to pass a local law to regulate intercity passenger buses through a permit system, which would include assigning pick-up/drop-off locations, providing for community board and MTA input and regulating enforcement. Permits could be issued for up to three years, and holders would pay the city an annual fee. (See further details below.)
State Senator Daniel Squadron said, "With no rules to regulate buses, the streets of Chinatown are like the wild west and that doesn't work for bus companies or the community. Today's system makes it hard to operate a business within the bounds of the law, and plagues the community with noise, pollution, and chronic congestion. I am pleased to be introducing this legislation with Speaker Silver and Council Member Chin to bring order to the chaos, benefiting bus companies and the community alike."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said, "For too long, the streets of Lower Manhattan, and particularly Chinatown, have been overrun by private, intercity buses that have no clear rules for where and how they are allowed to operate. Because of a lack of adequate regulation of this industry, we have had to contend with traffic congestion, pollution caused by idling buses and dangerous conditions for pedestrians. Today, we are introducing legislation that will bring order to that chaos by allowing the city to regulate this industry in a way that will improve the quality of life for our community and make our streets and sidewalks safer."
City Council Member Margaret Chin said, "This bill offers a pathway for veteran intercity bus service operators who have been denied the necessary permits in the past. It is imperative that we work to incorporate these services into the fabric of our transit network.
It will directly address their needs by designating easily identifiable pickup and drop-off points and give intercity bus operators the quality work environment they deserve. This will protect passengers of intercity bus companies and ensure that better business practices are maintained."
"The intercity bus business has grown exponentially in the past few years, and with it problems with traffic congestion, sidewalk obstructions, noise and neighborhood quality of life concerns," said City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn. "I want to thank Speaker Silver and Senator Squadron for introducing this thoughtful bill that will for the first time allow New York City to create standards and a process for appropriately regulating these previously unregulated businesses, to better manage when and where they make their discharges and pickups to minimize neighborhood disruptions and to require insurance, to best protect the safety and security of passengers and the public at large."
Pei Lin Liang, President of the Fung Wah bus company, said, "I am pleased to join our elected representatives from the State and City levels to announce the introduction of this important legislation. For years, the bus parking situation in Chinatown has been chaotic. The lack of regulation has caused problems for the community and for the bus companies as well. Our company, Fung Wah, was the first long-distance bus company to operate out of Chinatown. For 13 years we have been waiting for a system that will allow us to conduct our business more easily and in harmony with the local community. With this bill, everyone wins."
David Crane, Chair of Manhattan Community Board 3's Transportation Committee, said, "Regulation of intercity long distance buses has been a CB 3 priority for several years--and the need grows every year. More and more residents have contacted the Board for help with their concerns of congestion, pollution, lack of access on sidewalks, and safety. The bus companies need regulations that provide ways for them to comply with the law, to operate safely, and coexist on our congested streets. Community Board 3 has been working with City agencies and Senator Squadron, Assembly Speaker Silver, and Council Member Chin to create a plan that will improve long distance bus operations. We are very appreciative that our elected officials have worked with us and made these first steps toward resolving the bus issue a reality. We also very much appreciate that they are supportive of community review through the community board."
Manhattan Community Board 1 chairperson Julie Menin said, "In an area that has some of the highest levels of air pollution in the city, this new legislation will not only improve air quality for residents and workers in the neighborhood, but also will ameliorate pedestrian safety and traffic congestion. I applaud Speaker Sheldon Silver, Senator Daniel Squadron and Council Member Margaret Chin for their leadership on these important community issues."
Justin Yu, President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said, "This legislation is an important step. We now have a solution that will help both the community and the bus companies at the same time."
Virginia Kee, community leader, said, "Safety must be a top priority, and this legislation will help ensure the safety of passengers, community residents, and others. I look forward to its passage into law and thank Senator Squadron, Speaker Silver and Council Member Chin for their efforts."

What I Wore To A Party
My wardrobe used to be stuffed full of party dresses. When my social life consisted of Friday nights on the tiles, sparkly mini-dresses were the order of the day. Now, things are much more sedate and you're much more likely to find me in a pair of jeans on a night out. Also, I live in the North now and it's cold – bare legs are not advisable on a regular basis.
Dress: French Connection // Bag: ASOS // Ring: ASOS // Boots: M&S // Lipstick: Topshop (Beguiled)
However, when Christmas time rolls around, a new party dress is very much on the cards. My style now is a bit more classic and my taste a bit more expensive – so this French Connection number was entirely perfect for this party season. One dress to fit all occasions. Plus, I'm hoping that with boots and tights, it will easily work its way into my everyday wardrobe once January rolls around. I think that's what they mean when they say 'investment piece'.
