The local Fed says a third of Minnesota's 372 banks are still in "less-than-satisfactory condition."
Minnesota banks showed "sluggish improvement" in the third quarter, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis said Monday. But they haven't regained their pre-financial crisis shape.
In its quarterly good news/bad news summary of banking conditions, the local Fed concluded that the high number of problem banks in the state is a "headwind against the economy growing."
Altogether, 124 banks, or one-third of Minnesota's 372 banks, are still considered to be in "less-than-satisfactory condition" and subject to heightened scrutiny from regulators, according to the Minneapolis Fed. That's down slightly from about 36 percent of Minnesota banks last year and shows the journey toward recovery is far from over. The Fed's quarterly review doesn't include Wells Fargo or U.S. Bank, which aren't chartered in Minnesota.
The good news: The load of soured loans, primarily bad commercial real estate deals that were the crux of the community banking crisis in Minnesota, continues to shrink. The median ratio of loans that are late or not paying, to bank capital and reserves was 15.2 percent, down considerably from 19.5 percent a year ago although still above pre-crisis levels of around 11 percent. At the height of the banking turmoil in 2009, the ratio hit 24 percent.
For banks in the Twin Cities, the ratio dropped to 22.4 percent, down from 31.4 percent a year ago.
In short, asset quality is weak but improving.
That's call for optimism, said former banker Jeff Judy, a bank consultant in Bloomington who reviewed the summary: "This is an indicator of better times on the horizon."
Having fewer failed loans means banks don't have to set aside as much in provisions to deal with them, giving profits a lift -- but not much at the moment because banks are lending less, meaning they collect less interest income. The median return on average assets for Minnesota banks was 0.79 percent, up from 0.67 percent a year ago. The pre-crisis norm was about 1.3 percent. The median net interest margin, a key measure of profitability, was a decent 4.13 percent, largely flat from 4.15 a year ago.
Given the depth of the recession and financial crisis, today's middling situation is about what one would expect on the road to recovery, said Ron Feldman, senior vice president at the local Fed. Feldman, who gave the overview, said he predicts more banks to fail "but we're not going to see a big uptick."
What seems unusual for this stage in the recovery is the persistent declines in loan growth, a subject the regulator is looking into, Feldman said,
The median loan level in the state has dropped, year-over-year, every quarter for the last two years and the declines have accelerated, according to the Fed's summary. In the third quarter it sank nearly 4.2 percent from a year earlier, when it dropped about 2.1 percent. That's troubling because less lending means less money available to local communities and businesses to goose the economy.
"I'm surprised loan growth has remained so stubbornly negative," Feldman said.
At a glance, the falling loan levels appear to be a combination of the lack of demand in a slow economy, tighter lending guidelines and banks that are too weak to boost lending, Feldman said. Expect continued lethargy, he said, adding that he was stopping short of using the word zombies.
Banks are sitting on big inventories of repossessed homes, commercial buildings and land. But it appears the accumulation of those holdings may have crested and may finally be turning down. The median of repossessed properties as a percent of bank capital and reserves was 6.4 percent in the third quarter, down from 6.8 percent a year ago. It's not clear if banks are starting to liquidate more inventory at a faster pace, or if there are just fewer properties coming in.
Judy said he thinks the standoff between banks and real estate investors lobbing low-ball offers is finally easing.
"I think we're finally hitting that equilibrium point," Judy said. "The offers come in are probably more reasonable or realistic."
Minnesota is known for a large population of banks. But hard times continue to whittle away at the lineup. At 372 banks, the state has about nine fewer banks than it did a year ago and is losing about two to four banks a quarter lately.
The recent vanishing act isn't about bank failures, Feldman said. Only two banks have failed this year in Minnesota: RiverBank in Wyoming, Minn., and Rosemount National Bank. Banks are simply disappearing in quiet mergers, Feldman said, and most of the buyers are neighboring banks. More banks will look to sell, he said, if profits don't pick up.

Windows 7 firewall will not turn on
I realised as of now I haven't had a firewall or windows firewall running on my computer for a while. I thought AVG free came with one. So I downloaded Comodo Firewall immediately.
I change my antivirus to avast recently. I use Superantispyware and malwarebytes antimalware.
Many solutions told me to check Base Filtering service and windows firewall were running. They were not. I only got Base Filtering Service to start.
I scanned my computer recently with Avast and found a virus that was on my computer , it was Win64/Sirefef.F , could this be the problem to my firewall not running at all?
|My System Specs
|13 Jun 2012
Any one please, i need help with this.
|My System Specs
|13 Jun 2012
In order to troubleshoot this issue you need to follow these below provided methods.
Method 1: Please run "services.msc", stop "Windows Event Controller" service first, then make sure "Base Filtering Engine" service is started.
In the Start Menu type devmgmt.msc, and open Device Manager. On the View tab, choose "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden devices". Look for Windows Firewall Authorization Driver (it will have a gold gear icon).Double-click that, and on the Driver tab, make sure the Startup type is set to "Demand".
Then start "Windows Firewall" service, and check if the issue gets resolved.
Method 2: The Firewall Authorization Driver (mdsdrv.sys) is a protected windows system file. You can run the System File Checker tool and if the file is found to be corrupted, it will be replaced.
Follow these steps carefully.
Go to Start / All Programs / Accessories.
Right click the 'Command Prompt' item and select the 'Run As Administrator' option.
Click 'Continue' on the UAC prompt.
In the command window type the following command.
Press ENTER.
This will take a few minutes to complete. Try not to use the computer while SFC is running.
After the tool is finished, reboot the computer and check the Firewall options again.

Pepper spray and cocaine, a little known lethal combination
Yesterday it emerged that a pregnant woman who had been sprayed with pepper spray at a demonstration has lost her baby. This is a shocking claim but it isn't surprising when you consider the toxicity of pepper spray and the fact that it is banned for use in warfare under Article I.5 of the Chemical Weapons Convention (signed by the US, the UK and almost every other country on the planet).Police "pepper spray" is six hundred and sixty two times more powerful than jalapeño pepper and many hundreds of times stronger than the cans available to ordinary Americans.
There is no debate that being sprayed with pepper spray is extremely dangerous but few know that it is known to cause potentially lethal respiratory failure, especially for asthma sufferers. Most worryingly, the least informed appear to be the US police officers who are prepared to nonchalantly spray it directly in to the faces of peaceful protesters.
Even more worrying is the complete lack of interest by the authorities in the lethal impact that pepper spray has on individuals who have taken stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines. The active ingredient in pepper spray, capsaicin potentates the toxicity of cocaine astronomically, making cocaine and pepper spray a lethal combination. In the two years following California's 1992 adoption of capsaicin based pepper spray nineteen of the twenty-six deaths caused by pepper spay also involved the use of stimulants like cocaine (9 involved methamphetamine, 6 cocaine, 3 methamphetamine plus cocaine, and 1 pseudoephedrine), 79% of those deaths occured within one hour (Mendelson et al, 2009). This research is supported by animal research in which capsaicin pushed mortality levels through the roof in rats administered with cocaine (Mendelson et al, 2009).
"The lethal effects of capsaicin administered with cocaine (both compounds administered intraperitoneally) were assessed in 14 groups of 20–40 male mice. capsaicin at 10 mg/kg increased the lethality of cocaine in mice dosed at 60 mg/kg from 13% to 53% (P < 0.01) and for cocaine at 75 mg/kg from 53% to 90% (P < 0.001)." (Mendelson et al, 2009)
Footnote: If you think this is a situation that is unlikely to affect you because you aren't the sort of person to confront a police officer you should take a look at the "crowd management" pepper spray now being developed by a subsidary of BAE and the implementation of pepper spray for crowd management already occurring across the on US a grand scale.
Mendelson, J., Tolliver, B., Delucchi, K., Baggott, M., Flower, K., Harris, C., Galloway, G., & Berger, P. (2009). Capsaicin, an active ingredient in pepper sprays, increases the lethality of cocaine Forensic Toxicology, 28 (1), 33-37 DOI: 10.1007/s11419-009-0079-9
It's that time of the year again…. TED TIME! TED 2010 is over so heres a little gem from 2008 while we wait for the rest of the videos to be uploaded for the pleasure of us mere mortals!
An enlightening describition of an immersive journey with the Sierra Nevada Indians and their spiritual (half a pound of coca per day!) opiate use. The lecture is reminiscent of a philosophical discussion you may hope to have at 4AM with the aging travelled hippy you met at the bus stop/park bench/afterparty but with the delivery of a well spoken school head master on the last day before the summer holidays!
Neurobonkers does not recommend Cocaine however, mainly because of the blood bath it funds in South America. Also, as you may have heard it is rather morish and has a strong tendency to turn the nicest of people in to absolute dicks.

June 16 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's bonds rose, snapping a three-day drop, as concern political turmoil in Greece will delay a second bailout for the debt-stricken nation boosted demand for the relative safety of the Asian country's debt.
Bond futures rallied from a two-week low after the opposition in Greece told Prime Minister George Papandreou to resign, allies turned against him and police deployed tear gas to break up anti-government protests in Athens. Demand for the securities also increased after Treasuries rallied and Asian stocks extended a global decline in equities.
"Greece can't repay its debt, and the situation is hopeless," said Shinji Hiramatsu, senior investment manager in Tokyo at Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Asset Management Co. Ltd., which oversees about $50 billion. "People need to buy bonds today."
The yield on the 1.2 percent bond due June 2021 fell four basis points to 1.120 percent as of 3:06 p.m. in Tokyo at Japan Bond Trading Co., the nation's largest interdealer debt broker. That was the lowest level since June 9. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Ten-year bond futures for September delivery rose 0.47 to 141.07 at the 3 p.m. close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Ten-year futures reached 140.53 yesterday, the lowest since June 1.
European Central Bank Governing Council member Nout Wellink said the emergency fund for euro-zone countries should be doubled if private investors are pressured to contribute to additional refinancing aid for Greece, Het Financieele Dagblad reported, citing an interview.
Treasury 10-year yields fell 13 basis points to 2.97 percent yesterday. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional shares dropped as much as 2.2 percent today.

I love this song!!! I worked in my parents record store for almost 30 years. Great job to begin at 12 years old....listening to all kinds of music day after day (another great song), and getting paid to do so.
'When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy, In the company of strangers in the quiet of the railway station running scared, Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go, Looking for the places only they would know'
"I squandered my resistance / For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises / All lies and jest / Still a man hears what he wants to hear / And disregards the rest"
They are so brill. Im so glad I was old enough when to appreciate them when they were first released.

"Better Than Expected"
I've listened to over 100 books and this is one of my top 10 which says alot.
It was fun, loving without too much sex and the story was easy to follow like Jennifer Cruise book Bet Me.
The narrator was good. She wasn't boring and her voice fluctuated at the right moments. While I do use books to go to sleep it's the good narrators that allow that and plus when it's a good narrator I go back to the last thing I remembered while if the narrators voice was irritating and boring I immediately skip to the last chapter and hope that I can return the book.
I wouldn't say it moved me but one of my favorite parts was their reaction to their first kiss.
I really like this historical romance book. The story was good even if predictable, it was sexy but not sleazy and the story line was seamless. The characters are well done by the narrator and makes you wish for a sequel. Even if there are no sequels this book was good enough to make me look at reading or listening to the author more often.
"Hard to believe"
The only reason I didn't return this book was because the narrator was really good. I didn't listen to the books in order and by listening to past books they led me to believe that Nina was a strong woman. She had strong moments...well...actually kind of stupid moments, that someone less aggressive may think of as strong. I found the Alpha character to be irritating to say the least and hard to like most of the time. If you were stranded in a small town knowing people are kind of crazy now a days would you really allow complete strangers control???? Really??? Out of all the books this was my least favorite. I would recommend...Breathe, Lady Luck, and Sweet Dreams. Which all portrayed Nina as being strong...she's a lawyer so you would think so but she was only strong w/business. When it came to protecting her friends but when it came to her she rarely had a backbone in my opinion but then again I'm a more dominate female so well.
"Good story ok narrator"
The story was good but the narrator did a poor job w/the male voices. At times I wasn't sure if she was even trying to do a male character or simply reading. The story was good not great but good. It got better as the time went on. The first couple of hours I really was thinking about asking for my credit back. But after I got past my irritation w/the narrator I started to enjoy the story. I will say at the end she did finally get a little better with the male characters and she did the children characters perfectly. If narrators make or break a book for you then I don't believe I would recommend this book. Her voice isn't irritating just doesn't seem like she put any real effort in the lead male character. However if you can imagine it's your mom reading a bedtime story then this is a nice story.
"Just Not Enough"
When I think of dominatrix I think of a much stronger character in a female. The main female character lived a dual life which was fine regarding careers but personality I would have preferred her to be dominating in both. When you read dominating books w/males dominating they rule in their professional and love life. If you are looking for that I would not recommend this book. If you are looking for a love story w/a little bit of kink this may satisfy you.
"Crazy Love"
It was manipulative, passionate, dominating and romantic in a twisted way. If you liked fifty shades of grey well this book will give you your credit worth. In some ways I loved the heroine and other ways she worked my nerves because she didn't seem strong enough but she was not stupid. I wouldn't want her best friend because sometimes you really will wonder who side is she on. Then the our leading male character is just that a character. He is someone that in the states that you would really consider putting a restraining order on but he's such a great lay that you'll be like "nevermind"...lol. I bought both books and hope that there will be another.
"Pleasantly Surprised"
Even though you may read the reviews and they say this is an abridged work and some of the work is missing, it is a good book. If you haven't read the book, you may not know the difference. I did wish that the main female character would have had someone else trying to court her but this version makes it appear as though she had blind devotion. The male character her love interest frustrated me a lot. He was trying to make too many people happy. This story switches between past to present almost every chapter so if you don't like time jumping this is not the story for you. Overall it does what a story is suppose to do, makes you smile and sometimes frustrates you.
"Don't you love the strong silent type"
I love the strength of the heroine and the hero. They are indeed well matched.
I am a big fan of Judd. He knows he is strong but doesn't try to assert himself and tries to just stay in the shadows. Yet do not test him because he will deal with you swiftly if he chooses.
She did all the characters very well. You will be able to distinguish each character which is appreciated.
Yes, and I've listened to it several times.
Judd is a strong character, he is anti-social but you will love this man because at least you know when he does talk he actually makes sense. Breanna is a strong young lady who is a survivor but knows that she needs someone to lean on and she doesn't waste any time making that clear. You'll see characters from previously stories if you've listened to the first couple of books. As previously recommended try to listen to them in order. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.
"My Favorite Out the Series!!!!!!"
Fire meets ice.
Honestly I don't know what I can compare this book too.
She just does the character voices sooooo well.
This is my favorite book in the series. I have listened to it at least 7 times. I love the way things just kept building up and how they didn't just fall right into each other. The hero was having a hard time of letting go in his mind but his heart knew what was really right for him and the heroine who is really strong knew how to push buttons and keep it moving without seeming like she was desperate for him.
"Still interested"
Her Future Love
I like that the story flowed smoothly. The love wasn't rushed, there wasn't a lot of sex yet there is passion.
The hero is kind of stalkerish but not in a bad way...LOL...but really he does just breaks into her room...
I would recommend reading the books in order. But alone this is a good book. Well written and the narrator is great.
"Can't get enough!!!!!"
This book is in my top 10 and it's only the second of the series and the first is also in the top 10 so that should say a lot.
Find out the details of Genevieve and the torture she went through and what she did to get her freedom. It was in best terms messed up but it was a necessary evil. After you listen I'm sure you would think to yourself, "heck yeah, I would have done that too"....
I listened to her in the first book, "Never Seduce a Scot" and I loved her in that book as well which is another reason why it made getting this book such a great decision. I wish I would have known about this book prior to spending a credit on a book recommend by the concierge.
I just loved that everything was so feasible. Nothing was too far fetched and seemed to be very realistic. Kirsten brought all the characters to life.
I would recommend this book and while I believe it would be best to listen to them in order this book could stand alone because it does answer any backdrop questions you may have while listening. You will go through a roller coaster of emotions...well at least I did. I laughed, got angry at some of the bad treatment of the heroine, and again as w/the other book got a little teary eyed.
"Simply Ok, If you liked Bridget Jones Diary"
I would listen to another book read by Kate Reading but am unsure if I would buy another Sophie Kinsella book.
The ending did nothing for me. If anything I would have asked for a better ending.
I am unsure if Kate is British but if not she did the accents well. I like that the men also sounded like men and not a woman trying to sound like a man.
If this book was a movie then I would be disappointed that someone decided to make another version of Bridget Jones Diary.
Overall this book was okay. If I would have never seen Bridget Jones Diary maybe I would have liked it more. But seeing how that wasn't the case I was not impressed. This will not be one that I would listen to over and over again. The main guy in this story didn't have enough character build up or background. The girl as someone else said did a lot of self talk as it was in...guess what...Bridget Jones Diary. If you want something w/a "brand new" storyline then I would not recommend this book. However if you don't mind a different version of an already good story this book will make you smile, some of you may even laugh.

Q: My apartment was burglarized while I was away about three months ago. I have insurance (thanks, Dad!), so the financial loss isn't significant. But I can't shake my anxiety. I hate sleeping there now, and although I know that it's unlikely someone will come back, that doesn't make me feel any better. I feel panicky a lot when I'm in there alone. I try to remind myself that it's not logical that lightning will strike twice, but I feel horrible and am considering moving.
A: I'm sorry for the feelings of violation this must have brought. They're understandable, but the fact that they haven't improved after three months means you could use some help. Yes, you could move, but to the extent that this was somewhat traumatic in general, there's no guarantee that you'll feel more secure just because you've got a different set of locks to look at.
A cognitive-behavioral therapist can help you develop a plan to feel better, not only by working through your feelings, but also by creating steps of mental and physical exercises to systematically lessen your anxiety.
Q: My fiance's brother has been crashing on our couch for two weeks now, and it's getting old. He's trying to find an affordable apartment in the area now that his old lease ended and prices went up. He keeps awful hours because of his jobs (works at a bar) and always wakes us up when he comes in even though he tries not to. I just want our space back. But he is also the best man in our wedding so I feel bad kicking him out.
A: Given that this guy will literally be standing up for you at your wedding, you're right that kicking him out is out. It also sounds like he's doing his best to not be intrusive. So you help him, because that's what family does.
But it doesn't mean indefinitely or without boundaries. There should be a clear deadline (for his own good) as to how long he's going to stay before enacting Plan B. And Plan B needs to be clear as well, whether it's crashing with someone else, lowering his apartment standards or at least paying you rent. Your fiance should do this negotiating while you focus on starting your relationship with your brother-in-law on the right foot.

Of course it's important for Florida to do medical marijuana right. But there comes a time when you just want the talk and the technical mumbo-jumbo and the trepidation to end.
The textbook bill that passed narrowly in the Senate last week is no way to answer Common Core. It's a school-budget turkey multiplied 67 times. And worse.
Florida Republicans must come to grips with a bill introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Shalimar, and Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, to legalize a strain of marijuana effective in helping children with certain conditions as well as a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot by Orlando lawyer John Morgan to legalize medicinal marijuana as prescribed by a doctor. Republicans should support both.
Was it only 12 months ago Florida was banning bongs? My, what a difference a year makes.

Need advice on new printer to buy
Hi guys im looking to buy a new printer but have very little knowledge when it comes to printers. I has a lexmark which i bought very long ago and it is very bad and won't work on windows 7. I don't mind spending about 70 pounds at most on the printer but looking for a lower price ofcourse.
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you

I own (ed) a variety of makes. I found that Canon printers are the best in terms of use and quality. And if you get one with 4 or 6 independent ink cartridges, the ink will be easy on the budget too (plus there are a lot of OEM alternatives at lower prices). Lexmark is no good and HP has high price cartridges. The one to really, really stay away from is Brother - bad news. I had a fight with them for 18 months (nothing worked) and they finally took it back and refunded 30% of the original purchase price of €340. Compare that to Canon who replaced an expensive photo printer (was tearing up the paper) after 2 years - without discussion. There was no charge, they even paid for shipping the defunct printer back.

Although not a £70 printer i thoroughly reccomend the Kodak esp7(£179) . ink carts are relatively cheap at about £15 for colour . i believe there is a cheaper wifi less model

If you don't need color, bite the bullet and get a Samsung or Brother cheap laser printer. They can be had in the US on sale for as little as 60 dollars frequently. That gets you off the ink cartridge merry-go-round just like an electric shaver will get you off the razor blade scam.

Thank You guys for those advices. I'm afraid that kodak esp7 is way out of range for my price budget. Before posting this i was thinking to myself after a bit of googling that it would be between HP or Canon.
It will need to be a colour printer but i'm unsure of what model to get( forwhichever brand i choose or that you guys recommened) This is mainly because i don't know what are good specs for a printer or what to look out for in a printer. Also the other thing which i completely forgot to ask help on was cartridges. As you had mentioned that HP ones are expensive( how expensive are they? ) So if you guys have pointer on those things too that would be awesome.

here you go. check the cart price. black and colour.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

I'm trying to create a social website that can sell travel packages.
Website URL: guanaima.com
Framework Version: DMS 2
WordPress Version: 3.9
Plugins in Use: WooCommerce, Wordpress SEO by Yoast, Custom Sidebar
The problem I'm having is that when I activate the BuddyPress plugin in the website I get a 404 error on the user relates pages. (The activity feed and the members page work fine). I tried to disable other plugins, but it didn't work. I also tried creating a buddypress.php file as mention in this post http://forum.pagelin.../?hl=buddypress but still nothing. Does anyone have any idea?

Ooooh that solved the problem!
Thank you!
I spent more than 3hours trying to understand the problem. It was just that it didnt charge the wp-content/postLoop section as you mention.
Posted 22 April 2014 - 09:52 AM
Yeah, we apologise, it should be there by default so users don't get confused. When I first seen it, I was like "What the hell" ? So I have reported this to our tracker.
Posted 07 May 2014 - 02:06 AM
Just wanted to add to this thread - I have recently set up the new DMS 2 theme
after installing buddypress the site had issues
after going over the plugin conflicts - the plugin that caused the conflict is in fact your own plugin DMS Professional Tools
I cant activate this plugin without breaking my site - could you guys check this out?
Posted 06 October 2014 - 07:42 PM
I have this problem too, however this only partly solves the problem for me.
I now no longer get the 404 page (I had to delete that) but the profile page is only appearing a blog summary (archive list type) and not formatted properly?
Strangely my admin user profile (for bbpress) has always displayed correctly, but non of the others (non admins) do.
Any ideas?
Cheers, ANdrew
Posted 06 October 2014 - 09:04 PM
OK, I have got the user data displaying ok by setting the content/loop settings to legacy mode, but still have a jumbled post summary in the top?
Posted 06 October 2014 - 10:00 PM
OK, I can hide the post summary using css ...
section.bd.post-header.fix {display:none;}
But this ruins the post info on the blog pages,..
How to tailor the css so that it only affects the bbpress user profile pages?

@solosails - Can you create your won topic as the original question has been answered correctly. When creating a new topic can you include a link to the site/page in question so we can take closer look.
Posted 07 October 2014 - 01:02 PM
Hi Danny,
Yep, will do, only problem is that the site I'm building is a private members site. I can give you guys an access login if needed?
I can confirm that the DMS professional tools plugin when deactivated appears not to make any difference to my set up.

Create a new topic regarding your issue and send me a PM with a link to the site in question. Along with your admin username/password.

Bruce's 5 Simple Ways To Improve Your Day
Even if you can't find that perfect gift or the Christmas tree just fell over. There is still hope that this day can be salvaged! Here are some easy ways to make today and any day a little bit better.
Even if you can't find that perfect gift or the Christmas tree just fell over. There is still hope that this day can be salvaged! Here are some easy ways to make today and any day a little bit better.
Three short questions that will change your day, your mood and maybe your life. They have to be easy if Bruce can understand them.
The majority of us want to be successful in life, am I right? We all work hard whether it be in school, our jobs, or just regular life. Even though I still have a very long way to go in life, I want to share with you my opinions on success.
A song from the musical Wicked inspires my rant today. Okay it isn't so much of a rant as it is a plea from a father trying to come to grips with the fact that his kids are growing up and ready to soar into their own future.
If you spend the next 60 seconds of your life watching this short and very sweet video you will see the concept of making someone happy knows no age, no boundaries and is as free as the breeze. Please enjoy and please share with those you'd like to see smile this morning.
Here is a little "soul" food for you. May this morning find you filled with peace.
What makes you happy? Good. Now take that thought that you just had and put it into action. It is a constant battle for happiness sometimes, and other times it comes really easy. Do you feel the same way? Hopefully this weeks "Feel Good" will help us to "Let Go, and Let God!" Seven Rules of Life that could help us all.
While one might assume the happiest time in life is during the carefree days of childhood or the wild years of college, for most people it actually comes years after that.
Extroverted people who are open to new experiences are more inclined to spend more of their disposable income on experiences, such as a new restaurant, or a travel expedition, rather than shoes, clothes, or cars, a new study finds.
We all go through times in our life where we can't stand to think of "what bad thing could possibly happen next?" At least that has gone through my mind on multiple occasions. Sometimes it gets to the point where I say, "I really can't do this!" It gets really irritating going through my day feeling like nothing is


text: Lotus: We were happy with the pace from both drivers, particularly on the long runs 16 November, 2013 Heikki Kovalainen Heikki Kovalainen ended the first day of practice for the United States Grand Prix with the fifth fastest time at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Team-mate Romain Grosjean was eighth fastest during an afternoon of glorious blue skies; contrasting the delayed and interrupted morning session. Technical programme notes: Both drivers ran the long wheelbase configuration E21. Pirelli's Hard [orange] compound tyre was used in the morning session, the hard and Medium [white] in the afternoon. The morning session was initially delayed by fog preventing the medical helicopter from taking off, then due to issues with the helicopter's communications once it was in the air. What we learned today: The E21 demonstrated strong potential using both tyre compounds. Heikki was quickly up to speed. Heikki Kovalainen, E21-05: Free Practice 1: P13, 1:39.487, 18 laps Free Practice 2: P5, 1:38.073, 41 laps Heikki: "It's been a pretty smooth landing, joining Lotus F1 Team. We've had no major issues on track today and we just need to keep chipping away to see how good we can get the car for tomorrow and Sunday. We lost a bit of track time in the morning, but the car balance was reasonably good straight away. I was able to settle in and work immediately on the setup and tyre work. All the procedures and routines are quite similar up and down the pit lane, plus I'm familiar with all the systems from driving with a Renault engine already this year and previously, so it was a pretty straight-forward day." Romain Grosjean, E21-04: Free Practice 1: P11, 1:39.238, 13 laps Free Practice 2: P8, 1:38.255, 33 laps Romain: "It was an interesting start to the day waiting to see what the helicopter would do. After that the morning was about finding grip in the cold conditions. The afternoon was much warmer and we were able to complete some good work. We struggled a bit to get the brakes exactly as I want them on low fuel, but once that's sorted we should be well placed for tomorrow. Certainly the car feels good on the long runs so it's a positive start to the weekend." Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: Alan: "Obviously our programme was interrupted somewhat in the morning which deprived Heikki of some vital track time to get used to the E21, but this doesn't seem to have hurt his day and we're very happy that he was immediately comfortable with the car. Romain had a couple of issues with braking on his lower fuel runs which we're working on improving for tomorrow. It's difficult to draw conclusions from the cooler morning practice, but in the afternoon we were happy with the pace from both drivers; particularly on the long runs." Subbed by AJN.

Summary: There are few actors so closely tied to a persona than Raymond Burr as Perry Mason. This long-running series was built upon Erle Stanley Gardner´s many novels about a brilliant defense lawyer and his staff, that solved many a crime with surprise witnesses and stern cross-examinations.It was the first mystery series to feature chalk or tape outlines to mark the spots where bodies were found. Filmed almost exclusively in the Los Angeles area, Raymond Burr had Gardner's seal of approval in the role. The cases were usually won by way of pivotal confessions of witnesses, solicited by Perry Mason (Burr's) surgeon-like examination or with last-minute, key evidence brought into the courtroom by private investigator, Paul Drake (William Hopper). Della Street (Barbara Hale), Perry´s faithful secretary, was always at Perry's side in the courtroom where hapless Hamilton Burger (William Tallman) was the Los Angeles District Attorney who never seemed to win. As to the myth that Perry Mason never lost, there were 2 episodes where it did occur... but you'll have to watch to find out.The show was revived in 1973-74, with other actors in the familiar roles (Monte Markham as Mason), and then again with the some of the original cast, in a string of feature length TV films from 1985 until Raymond Burr´s death in 1993. Programming Note: Sadly, Hallmark Channel is no longer airing the Perry Mason series but they have begun airing the TV movies on average of about one per week. Check the Hallmark Channel listings to find out the dates and times.

Center Theater
407 Main Street,
Little Rock,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 15 comments
This theatre has been demolished. The site is now a parking lot.
I saw Fantastic Voyage in 1966 at this one. Small, but it had a balcony. I'd heard channel 7 purchased it in the 70's.
The Royal Theatre dates from around 1910. The June 21, 1917, issue of Engineering News-Record said that the Royal Theatre was to be rebuilt at a cost of about $150,000. Plans for the rebuilding were being prepared by local architect T.M. Sanders.
So sad. Saw lots of good movies, there. The first one I remember is 'Zulu', with Stanley Baker, and Michael Caine, in 1964, when I was 9. Also saw 'Patton', there, in '70, 'Big Jake', in '71, and 'The Exorcist' in '73, and many, many others.
I am fairly certain it is completely gone now.
The last time I passed by the Center in May 2009, the theater was still there. The buildings immediately across the street had just been demolished and might have been confused for the Center. During my formative years in the 60's, I saw a number of Elvis and Disney movies there; they also played the Bond films there.
Here is a 1954 photo:
how silly is that?
Being on the register doesn't prevent the owner from doing whatever they want as long as no federal money is involved.
How did it get demolished if it is on the national register of historic places?
It has been demolished.
Unfortunately, colder hearts are prevailing. A demolition permit has been issued for the Center. Apparently part of another attempt to "revitalize" downtown Little Rock.
Nothing else warms my heart as posting like Andy T's does!
Good luck on this project.
There has been some consideration of incorporating the Center into a fine arts block that would include at least two new venues for the Arkansas Repertory Theatre. The local investor who owns the Center has a terrific reputation for projects that maintain their historic integrity. He also has a reputation for playing his cards close to his chest until a "real" project can be announced, complete with funding and a timeline. There is realistic hope here.

NFL Blackouts Wane, but Still Worrisome
TAMPA ( MainStreet) -- For three solid weeks, the NFL televised all its games in their home markets. That means blackouts aren't a problem anymore, right?
Not so fast, there, sports fans.
|The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have sold out two home games this season to put the games back on local television, but that didn't prevent Sunday's home matchup from falling off the TV schedule.
Though the NFL didn't pull a game off television from Oct. 13 through Nov. 4 and blacked out television broadcasts of only seven games in their home markets before that span -- well behind last season's 26-blackout pace -- there are still problems with the league blackout policy (which dates back to 1975 and requires teams to sell out games 72 hour before kickoff before televising games in their home markets). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have sold out two home games this season to put the games back on local television and avoid blacking out the entire home slate, as the team did in 2010. That didn't prevent Sunday's home matchup against the Houston Texans at Raymond James (RJF) Stadium from falling off the television schedule, however, and likely won't be the team's last lost TV matchup, since there are plenty of seats still available for a Dec. 4 game against the Carolina Panthers.
"It is absurd that the government still props up the sports leagues with an outdated and unnecessary rule written four decades ago," says Brian Frederick, executive director of fan advocacy for lobbying group the Sports Fans Coalition, in a statement issued Friday. "The FCC's blackout rule simply helps to perpetuate the anti-consumer practice of withholding sporting events from fans who cannot afford tickets to games, even when those fans helped to subsidize sports through public funding, laws and regulations."The optimistic view is that things are getting better. The Oakland Raiders have sold out five straight home games and aired more than one home game in a season for the first time since 2008. That's no small feat for a franchise that has had 83 home game broadcasts taken off local television and only 50 aired since moving back to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995. The Cincinnati Bengals also ended a seven-game blackout streak by selling out their Sunday matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
