Carrera S, Porsche's best selling sports car is all-new and better than ever
How do you tell this new Porsche from the old one? By far the easiest way is to get a good look at the rear. Unlike the tight and compact back of the earlier 997, the 911 is wider and fuller looking. The most obvious detail is the word 'Porsche', spelt out in large chrome letters across the back — a throwback to the original 911 from the early 1960s. This new 911 also has a significantly more raked front windscreen, the headlights have been moved out to give it a wider-looking nose, and the longer wheelbase and wider front track give it a more planted stance. Otherwise, it has all the iconic 911 design cues.
Ingress is almost as comfortable as a luxury saloon, the typically Porsche cabin feels better built than many other luxury cars, and the driver's seat seems to have exactly the right blend of support and cushioning. This is a car you can use every day and not feel any worse for wear. The 911 is a sportscar but it doesn't trade comfort for any of the performance.
The insides are all 911 too, the five horizontally aligned dials, again done in time-honoured fashion, look simply fantastic and the numbers on the dials themselves are exciting enough to elevate your heart rate. The slightly overoptimistic speedo reads a bullet-train-matching 330kph, the tachometer is redlined close to 8000rpm, and the split dial on the left gives you both oil temperature and pressure.
What's new on the inside however is the Panamera-like raised central tunnel. This new arrangement has also allowed Porsche to get rid of the fiddly small buttons that earlier infested the tightly packed central console and there's a larger screen in the central console too.
The '993' may have been the last air-cooled 911, but this new car sounds air-cooled too, especially at start up. You hear that 'chitty-chitty-chitty' at idle and blip the throttle you get that faint whistling sound, so familiar on Porsches of old. However, spin the direct-injection flat-six motor harder and the exhaust note tightens up into something between a rasp and a snarl. And the faster you spin it, the harder-edged it gets.
Electric steering
On some of the quieter roads on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi we are driving with the windows down and sport exhaust button on, the new Carrera S sounds truly divine. This new aluminium chassis feels as tight as a drum, at least 40-50 per cent stiffer than you expect, and performance from the 3.8-litre motor, even in the midrange, is seriously urgent.
A big surprise is the all-new electric steering system. Far from playing spoilsport, this new steering system is so accurate you can drive this car precisely and quickly, with almost no conscious effort.
The new 911 also drives much better in normal or street mode. While the earlier motor had quite a gutless bottom end and a PDK 'box that was reluctant to downshift, this one feels far more energetic and willing. There's considerably more muscle at regular driving speeds, the gearbox is infinitely sweeter and, on this longer wheelbase, the ride quality seems better too. Despite the 20-inch rims on this car, there's more suppleness in the suspension, probably due to the active dampers and anti-roll bars, the active engine mounts cradle the engine with soft hands and the 911 now only thumps through poorly paved sections rather than crashing through them.
The familiar 3.8 flat six may make only 15bhp more but, coupled with the lighter body and the improved gearbox, performance has taken a massive leap forward. It feels brutally quick, even when you are using only 80 per cent of the potential of the motor, the performance gets stronger the harder you rev the snarling flat six, and visiting the last 1000rpm of the powerband, especially in one of the higher gears, is thoroughly grin- inducing. But to explore the performance envelope of this car fully, you need a track.
Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina circuit proves to be just the right testing ground. It takes only a couple of hard laps to prove that there are times when you do miss the extra feel and feedback of the hydraulic steering. However, the new steering works so well in every other area, you soon overlook this little blemish. Placing the car exactly where you want with millimetre precision, even with the tyres howling in protest, is just a flick of a wrist away.
There is precious little understeer, active torque vectoring between the driven rear wheels provides further stability under power and this allows the 911 to slingshot itself out of slow, medium and fast bends like it's been shot from a cannon.
Pinning the throttle to the floor and giving the 911 its head, especially towards the top end of the powerband, also makes it feel brutally quick. In fact, performance in some parts of the powerband isn't all that far removed from the earlier-generation 911 Turbo; this car does after all have 270bhp per tonne to the Turbo's 309.
What's also nice about the new car's handling is that it allows you to use that weight in the rear to your advantage. You can feel the heavy rear come around in tighter corners on the track but, far from being intimidating, the new 911 encourages you to flick the steering wheel gently and help the car change direction. And that just ups the fun factor massively.
Porsche has designed the new 911 keeping current emission norms in mind and it is quite a bit cleaner and greener but the fun-to-drive factor seeps through every single nut and bolt. And its appeal is truly global.
With a little care and smaller rims, this is a car you could use everyday even on our roads. That this is one of the best sports cars in the world, there is no doubt.
The question is how many Indian sports car buyers will have the good sense to snap up the new Carrera S, which even at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.13 crore is surprisingly good value.
It's rare to find a car that blends everyday usability and supercar performance into one package.

Excel is arguably one of the most versatile, powerful and ubiquitous programs in businesses today. Most businesses use a very small percentage of Excel's potential because they lack the time and expertise and most importantly the knowledge of what is possible. I bring 20+ years experience in unlocking those possibilities, assisting businesses to better maintain and understand the reams of data they collect. Any business can better leverage their time and reduce costly errors with an easy to use, low/no learning curve solution custom build to their specific requirements.
A short list,of what can be done in Excel would include:
- The ability to pull data from multiple worksheets, workbooks or downloaded data files into a single, easy to read formatted report.
- Generate invoices, contracts, timesheets or work orders in Excel or export Excel data into a defined Microsoft Word template.
- Use Excel as a database. For example entering or selecting a part number can look up and populate any information related to that part such as the product descriptions, cost, markups, etc.
- Custom business intelligence reporting based on multiple or single criteria. For example to show sales for a person, region, unit for the last month/year, compared to previous month/year, etc.
- Generate timeline reports to keep track of when various deadlines approach. For example a law firm might need to file 28 days before a trial date or be aware of an event 10 months in advance. This is just an example but can be applied to any business. Multiple reports can be generated with a single click.

Pashto LoveNils Berg
Orissa (In the Hands of the Lord)Nils Berg Cinemascope
CD/LP/Track Review
- Vocals by James Pearse
Hoob Records
Popmotion (Hoob Records) by Nils Berg Cinemascope
One of the more unusual ensembles I've come across. Both unconventional and catchy, the infectious sounds make it difficult not smile while simultaneously engaging the brain with wonder. Too cool.
Nils Berg has started a new band! Some of the members are: a hibernated hippie on the sitar, giggling teenagers from Brunei, a balafon master from Ghana, a shy Japanese lady and her flute, and an Indian dance group with rock hard feet. When the band performs, sax player Nils Berg is accompanied by drummer Christopher Cantillo and bassist Josef Kallerdahl on stage. Alongside the band is a film screen showing the far-away-guests, who are seen, heard and incorporated into the live music. A new quartet for each song. Orissa (In the Hands of the Lord) features Nils Berg on tenor sax, Josef Kallerdahl on double bass, Christopher Cantillo on drums, and an Indian dance company with their musicians on harmonium, flute, vocals, meridingam and violin. The percussive hand clap sounds comes from the four dancers, clapping the soles of their feet against the concrete floor.

Thank goodness the weekend is here! It is suppose to be a gorgeous weekend here in Colorado. Hopefully we will make it up into the mountains tomorrow to see the Aspens. They turn a gorgeous bight yellow in the fall, and the mountains are just covered in them. We have plans with friends on Saturday night too, so it should be a fun weekend! Especially if this Bourbon Apple Cider happens again.
Bourbon Apple Cider
Bourbon Peach Limeade
I can not believe that it is August already. My 9 year old and I are visiting family in Wisconsin this week. We spent the weekend with my extended family in Minnesota. It was a great time catching up with everyone, and we had great weather. On Saturday night all of the adults went on a dinner boat cruise. So nice to enjoy the sunset, the company, the good food, and all kid free Yesterday we came to Wisconsin, and I got to hang out with Erin (Law Student's Wife). Dinner and drinks on the patio in downtown Madison, were the perfect way to end the weekend!
Mixed Beery Lemonade
I wasn't going to post a recipe today, but I wanted to give you one last fun drink that you can enjoy this weekend! Do you have any fun plans to enjoy the 4th of July? I think that we are going to go on a bike ride tomorrow. Hopefully the trail that we want to ride on isn't flooded this time. The rest of the weekend will be spent going to a Colorado Rockies game and probably going up to the mountains to go on a hike. Personally I am excited for fireworks. I love getting to see fireworks, there is just something amazing about them!
Cherry Limeade Margaritas
I trust that all the Dad's out there had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. Ours was low key, which is exactly what my husband requested. We have been so busy lately, he just want to have some time at home. I had big plans of going away for the weekend, hiking, biking, and seeing friends. But I was over ruled. I guess on Father's Day, the father should get a say, huh? There were a few treats and a special dinner over the weekend though. I can't just let the day completely slide by.
Cherry Almond Vodka Cocktail
Mother's Day weekend is here. Are you ready? Do you have a great plan for your Mom? My mom is actually coming to our house next week, so I am saving my gift until then. I think it is so much better to give a person a gift in person, even if it is a few days late. Hopefully she agrees As for our house, I am not sure what we are doing. My son has the week off from football, so we have the whole weekend free. I am hoping I get to sleep in, and not have to cook, or do the dishes for the day. I like to think I am pretty easy when it comes to holidays. My husband might disagree.
Pomegranate Margaritas (12 Days of Giveaways) #ChristmasWeek
Welcome to Day #2 of Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita's Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting today, Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th.
I love having a fun cocktail for entertaining around the holidays. It is just so fun and festive to have when you have people over. To me margaritas just spell fun! So I decided to put a holiday spin on them, to make them perfect for December. In case haven't noticed yet, I have a thing for pomegranate juice (pomegranate mimosas, pomegranate bellinis, pomegranate prosecco) in a cocktail. Why not use it for a margarita too
Pomegranate margaritas are easy to make. You can mix up a pitcher of the them in the afternoon, and have it in the fridge ready for when your friends arrive. It is such a gorgeous color too! It is very easy to adjust the sweetness as well. I like my drinks a little on the sweeter side, so I just added a little more simple syrup to mine. But if you like them tart, don't add as much…easy!
- ¾ cup tequila
- 1 cup Triple Sec
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- ¾ cup lime juice
- ½ -3/4 cup simple syrup
- To make simple syrup combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, cool.
- In a pitcher combine all of the ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Pour over ice to serve. Or store over the fridge until ready to serve.
- Garnish with lime slices and pomegranate seeds, if desired.

Pomegranate Mimosa #Freixenet
December is here, and it is unofficially the party season. Or at least it seems that way. Work parties, cookie exchanges, get togethers with friends, family events, and New Years Eve is right around the corner as well…it really doesn't seem to end this time of year. I am not complaining at all, I love getting together with others and having an excuse to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine with a few appetizers.
Blue Vodka Lemonade
Are you a fan of Arrested Development? We LOVE that show! We watched all the episodes back in the day, we own the whole set on DVD, and are in the process of re-watching them all right now. Do you know why? Because a new season is coming out on Netflix!! The new season starts on Sunday May 26th, and I am so excited!
Pomegranate Prosecco
Today is New Year's Eve!! What do you have planned? Are you going out tonight? Are you hosting a party? Do you just stay in, and hang out with your family? We just stay in. My birthday is tomorrow and my parents are here this year, so we will probably go out to dinner to celebrate, then hang out. We will see if we even make it to midnight!
For those of you hosting parties, or even just hanging out, I have a fun and festive drink for your night. This is really easy to make. I just put a few pomegranate seeds in a glass, squeezed in some lime juice, and topped with Prosecco (a sweet champagne). The lime adds a little tart to the sweet champagne, and it is just a little different than plain champagne.
I hope that you had a great 2012, and that your 2013 is even better!
Sparkling Tropical Lemonade #SundaySupper
Football season is here! College started last weekend, and it was on all day at our house. This week is professional. Who is your favorite team? We are split here. I was born in Minnesota, and my Dad is a big Vikings fan. So even after we moved to Wisconsin, I still held strong. My husband on the other hand, was born and raised in Wisconsin, so he is a Packers fan. And of course, a son has to side with his dad, so my 7 year old is a Packers fan. The only thing we can agree on is college – we are all Badger fans!
Football and tailgating go hand in hand. Today the #SundaySupper team is here to help. We have an amazing line up of everything you need for one killer tailgate before a game. Honestly, I don't think I have ever officially tailgated before. I am more of a, have all your friends over to your house, watch the game on tv kind of a girl. But that needs tons of snacks too, so we are all good today!
One thing that every football game needs is a drink. The guys can have their beer, but sometimes I like a good fruity drink. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good beer as much as the next guy, but something new is always good. This is super simple to put together – just lemonade, Sprite, and Tropical Punch Vodka. You can play with the ratios to get what you like. The Tropical Punch Vodka has lots of pineapple flavor that works great with the tart lemonade.

The city's foreclosure rate last year was highest in the East New York and Starrett City sections of Brooklyn, a new study finds, spotlighting a troubling growth in foreclosed properties across the state.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says that while the number of properties involved in new foreclosures across the state dropped from 2009 to 2010, the number of properties remaining in some stage of the process still continues to grow.
After East New York and Starrett City, Jamaica, Queens has the highest foreclosure rate per 1,000 households.
Putnam County ranked at the top of counties statewide.
As a whole, New York State ranks 42nd in foreclosure rates, with Nevada and Arizona holding the top two spots, respectively.

I once was in a shopping mall in California (Sears, I believe), and read a screen t-shirt that was soooo hilarious to me that I took a picture of it. It said (and I quote), "Muffins are just ugly cupcakes". It had a picture of this beautifully conceited cupcake staring down its low-esteemed muffin companion.
I know - pretty mean - but I had to laugh!
Now of course, I view it as "Cupcakes are just pretty muffins with hats on", but that is neither here nor there.

I really thought it was a joke when I heard about Luce's Gluten-Free Artisan Bread mixes. I mean how could a bread mix that doesn't require you to activate yeast, or let it proof really work? To produce an artisan loaf of bread, all you add is water, then stir, and bake, which sounds way too simple to actually work. I don't know how they did it, but this mix produces gluten-free bread with a crispy crust and a soft, moist middle that is quite easy to make.

I'm lucky. I got to ask Aida this question up close and personal. If you don't know her name, you should. Aida Mollenkamp is California-based food expert, TV host, writer, and culinary curator. She studied at the Cornell Hotel School (like me!) and Le Cordon Bleu Paris before joining CHOW.com where she worked behind the scenes as Food Editor. Eventually, she moved to television where she hosted her Food Network show Ask Aida (you get the pun now) and later the Cooking Channel show, foodCrafters.

Heading back to school means one thing when you are on a restricted diet: stock up on all your favorites which you can't find at school.

Wanna hear something funny? When I first started my blog, I intended it to be an even mix of meals, breads, soups, desserts, etc. that mirrored how we eat. When I re-did my recipe index, I realized that notion bit the dust a few years back, and surprise, surprise, it seems like my blog is brought to you by the letter C and the word chocolate. Not that I don't love chocolate, but I'd kinda like to balance things a little more. Just cause.
Then again, as I look at my very un-photogenic, super-yumtastic stew, maybe part of my decision is because dessert photographs better? (more…)

Cha cha cha chorizo!
Sorry, that sounded like a good idea at the time. Like a chorizo party.
I can't say that I've had Mexican Chorizo often, I just know that when I do have it, it's quite a tasty treat.
Also, it's a fun word to say (noted, above). It just sounds so zesty and authentic.
Truth be told, normally I cheat and go for the Soy Chorizo at TJ's. It tastes the same as chorizo, but without all the pork fat. Since soy isn't the greatest for our bodies, and you can't make it mass quantities for a low cost, this recipe is my new option.

When you are looking for an elegant dish that you can serve to both adults and kids, try this one. The recipe is courtesy of Aida Mollenkamp from her book "Keys to the Kitchen" (see the interview and blog post here). I made it for Christmas Dinner this past holiday and everyone raved.
Now, if you notice, the recipe is far from dairy-free so it was off-limits for my daughter (however, there are dairy substitutes below). I didn't really think it was going to be her thing, so after sauteing the chicken, I put some aside for her and proceeded with the recipe. If you know me, I'm not one to make two meals but I do accommodate her special diet by being just a little creative. I promise, it's possible.
After reviewing Aida's book, this one really stuck out. However, being The Family Chef, I had to put my own spin on it and make it a bit more family friendly. It's naturally gluten-free and absolutely delicious. If you need some of your own keys in the kitchen, check out Aida's book.

When you have celiac disease or another gluten-related disorder, dating can be fairly tricky. With so much focus on restaurant outings, movie theater snacks and the post-date kiss, people with a gluten-related disorder have a lot more to think about than just finding the perfect outfit.
The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) shares these 5 tips for navigating the dating scene while staying gluten-free. (more…)

Joel tells me he hates the holidays. "They're just so full of hypocrisy," he says. "Everybody's supposed to be happy, walking around bursting with holiday cheer, when what they're really filled with is dread."
Since I'm his therapist, I get to ignore his comment about the hypocrisy and go to what sounds like the underlying issue for him, which I think is the question of what he's dreading about the holidays. I ask him what he thinks he might be uneasy about. "Everything," he says. His face crumples. "I feel like the little girl in that story about 'yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,'" he said. "I used to look forward to this time of year, even though it's so hokey. I'm Jewish, but I love Christmas music and Christmas trees and Christmas decorations. And I love that it's vacation time for me and my family." Joel is a professor at a college. "But the fun has gone and I feel like a wet blanket. My kids are out of college and have to work during the holidays and can only come home for a few days; and my wife is talking about maybe traveling instead of staying home. She's been looking at airfares for London - keeps telling me how much I'd enjoy an old fashioned English Christmas."

Some ten years ago, a post-Ultramagnetic Kool Keith joined with Dan The Automator, Kut Masta Kurt, and DJ Q-Bert, helping to birth the independent hip-hop movement with a record called Dr. Octagon. If fans thought Keith was strange in the early days, they hadn't seen anything yet, as Dr. Octagon was perhaps the most off-the-wall hip-hop record ever released, with equal contributions of weirdness from each member of the "group".
Although after everything was said and done, Keith and Automator parted ways, with legal threats suggesting that Dr. Octagon was the name of the group of artists that made the original product, not necessarily Keith himself. Rumor has it that the shit hit the fan when Sadat X was asked to replace Keith for a Lollapalooza performance. Keith decided to "kill" the Octagon character shortly thereafter with his Dr. Dooom album (a truly worthy, albeit slept on, follow-up). However after parting ways with producer Kut Masta Kurt, Keith followed up with a string of sub-par releases, none of them pleasing fans like the stuff he did with Automator and Kurt.
The Return of Dr. Octagon is not the first time the character has been attempted to be resuscitated. A few years ago, a mysterious release called Dr. Octagon 2 surfaced, but was cease-and-desisted before it could reach store shelves. A budding producer named Fanatic also worked on a Dr. Octagon follow-up project, but tons of legal red tape kept this release from ever seeing the light of day as well. Recently, Insomniac Records craftily assembled a team of producers for the Mr. Nagatco Nagacto Rd. project (which cheekily spells "Dr. Octagon" backwards), playfully dancing around the idea of aliasing the character, with decent results. OCD International's Return of Dr. Octagon somehow works around the legal nightmare of releasing a sequel to the landmark album (or just says "fuck it"), teaming Keith with Aussie production trio One Watt Sun. Is this the sequel we've been waiting for, or perhaps just another attempt at reliving past glories?
On a positive note, it's good to see Keith back in form. Let's face it, he released a handful of bad (read: awful) self-produced solo records, not to mention strange offshoot group efforts, all of which disappointed fans. So The Return Of Dr. Octagon resurrects the strange Keith we all knew and loved before he got angry. So yes, with song titles like "Aliens" and "Trees", you can pretty much gather that Keith is back in that weird mode Octagon fans fell in love with.
However, the truth of the matter is, there simply is no fucking with a classic, or even recreating one – just ask fans of Star Wars. One of the issues with this record is that the One Watt Sun team seems to hold themselves in the highest regard as producers, with over-the top production that seems to go off in its own direction, leaving Keith way behind ("Aliens"). On songs like "Al Green", Keith's vocals become just another instrument in the trio's symphony, not really letting the star of the record – Keith – shine. The Princess Superstar solo cut "Eat It" is equally guilty of the same crime, acting as a depressing reminder of how good the original album was. Granted, while One Watt Sun's production is not particularly bad by any means (especially in comparison to some of Keith's past releases), it's just that it may have been wiser for them to wait for their own solo record before flexing their masturbatory muscles with such over-produced beats.
While it may seem like this critic is coming down hard on The Return of Dr. Octagon, it's only because it has a hell of a predecessor to live up to. This is the best Keith record were going to get – it does top many of his sub-par efforts from the last few years – but sequels rarely top the originals, especially when completely different parties are involved.

A Better Smile CAN be an enjoyable experience
It's only been a few months, and I already notice I have straighter teeth. My jaw closes more normally too. All with no pain! It's amazing what Invisalign from Dr. Valerie Preston can do. There's still time to start your path to a better smile and see noticeable progress by the Holidays! Just give Dr. Valerie Preston a call today 919-518-0540. Her office is conveniently located in Raleigh, and you will actually see Dr. Preston, not some other Dentist. Learn more too at -J.J.

Looking forward to straight teeth!
I've always been self-conscious about the gap between my two upper front teeth. While it's not as bad as Mike Tyson's, it's still something I wish I didn't have. A number of my other teeth are either in the wrong spots or slightly crooked. I just didn't want to go through the pain, discomfort, and inconvenience of traditional braces. One question I had was, "will I need to see an Orthodontist?" Well, my dentist, Dr. Valerie Preston said no. She is one of the few female dentists that does comprehensive care and is an Invisalign Preferred Provider. She can do 90-95% of any dental procedure in house!!! Will it hurt? Will people know I am wearing? Will I sound different when I am onair? She told me the answer to all those questions is NO!
Straighter, healthier teeth can be a comfortable experience!
I used to put off going to the Dentist, and I ignored the advice that I should get braces. One reason I put it off was because it was never fully explained to me that getting braces didn't mean I had to have a bunch of uncomfortable metal in my mouth. Or that having straight teeth is actually better for your dental health. Another reason was that I was afraid it would be painful. Pretty common reasons NOT to address your dental work, huh? Then, I met Dr. Valerie Preston. She's an expert in correcting your bite. She is an Invisalign Preferred Provider. Invisalign, she explained, gently puts pressure on your teeth to move them into their correct places. That corrects your bite, eliminates any jaw pain or gum rescission you may have, and gives you straight teeth! You barely know you have them in, and no one else knows. People are telling me all the time "Oh, I didn't know you have Invisalign! I heard you say it on QDR". Dr. Preston is offering YOU a FREE Invisalign Consultation or Cosmetic Consultation. Veneers are a great option too. Maybe you just want professional teeth whitening? It's amazing what she can do! One of the few female dentists that does comprehensive care. Call her today and take that first step to straighter, healthier teeth the comfortable way. 919-518-0540

A Challenging First Week Back.
I have always read friend's facebook posts about going back to work that first week after bringing their newborn baby (in our case, babies) home. I always thought I understood how hard it was to leave. This week, I realized that I never fully understood how hard it really is on a father or mother. I was eager to get back on the air, a small slice of normalcy in my day, but did not know how hard it would be to kiss those babies and my wife goodbye. I think about them every second of the day! A few days after we brought them home, Michelle had them laying together on a blanket on the carpet. Grace and Lily reached out to touch each other, and ended up holding hands for a moment. The proud Daddy had to share this photo with you. -J.J.

It seems like a lot of work using the whole moong with skin on and then discarding the skin after soaking? What difference in taste or texture is there if you started off with the split skinless moong? Just soak it in water overnight, drain and then blend it in a modern day blender? I accept that the old ways usually are the best, but too many of us have moved on without stay at home wives or mothers and time is of essence to live the fuller lives these days.

TSC Ratings' Updates: Family Dollar
Computer Sciences (CSC), which provides information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing, and IT and professional services to the commercial and government markets, was upgraded to buy. Our analysis show the company has a debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.64, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.92 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems. But we feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub-par growth in net income.
Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.9% -- slightly outpacing the industry average of 5.4%. The growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share. Computer Sciences' earnings per share declined by 20.1% in the most recent quarter compared with the same quarter a year ago. Even though earnings have been volatile recently, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, company increased its bottom line to $3.24 from $2.28 in the prior year. This year the market expects the company to earn $4.31, which would result of an increase of about 33%. Computer Sciences had been rated a hold since November 9, 2008.
Empresa Distribuidora (EDN), which operates as an electricity distribution company in Argentina, was initiated with a sell. The rating is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income and poor profit margins.

In San Diego, deportation holds drop after TRUST Act goes into effect
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 26: Activists, community leaders and speakers attend a rally and a news conference by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Arizona immigration law at Los Angeles City Hall on June 26, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down key parts of an Arizona law, but let stand a provision allowing police to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws. AB 1081 (the TRUST Act), would give local governments the right to opt-out of the controversial Secure Communities program. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
In California, the number of people that local law enforcement turns over for deportation is on a sharp decline, most recently after a state law went into effect in January.
That law, known as the TRUST Act, stops local law enforcement from holding those without serious criminal records for extended periods of time.
Before the law, suspects would often be turned over to federal agencies for deportation.
Numbers have been dropping across the state. According to a recent AP report, the average drop in 15 counties was about 44 percent, but in some places, that's even higher. That's the case in San Diego and we're joined by the county's Sheriff Bill Gore.

Britain says not enough progress at EU budget summit
Published on Nov 23, 2012 5:45 PM
BRUSSELS (AFP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron kept up his defiant stance on Friday at a troubled European Union (EU) summit on the bloc's trillion-euro budget, insisting that deeper cuts must be made.
"I don't think there has been enough progress," said Mr Cameron, whom angry EU diplomats accuse of blocking a deal on the seven-year budget for the bloc with his "virulent" demands for austerity.
"It isn't a time for tinkering, it isn't about moving money from one part of the budget to another. We need unaffordable spending cut. That's what is happening at home, that's what needs to happen here," he told reporters.
Nearly a year after he angered his European counterparts by vetoing a pact to resolve the euro zone crisis, Mr Cameron was again at odds with them by demanding cuts to the perks enjoyed by so-called "eurocrats".

Best options for a 12 adult party?
My parents have decided to take the entire family to WDW this October - woot! We'll have a large group:
So it's looking like we'll have up to 12 adults plus one baby. I've rented DVC points before, and would be comfortable assisting my parents in planning a vacation doing that if it looks like it would be the best option for us. My husband and I have a strong preference for resorts with more than just bus transportation (we looooooove the BW and stayed there when we got engaged!), but we're not paying for this vaca, so I'll stay wherever they decide lol!
I'm thinking that room-wise, obviously Mom and Dad should have a bedroom to themselves since they're footing the bill. Since my son goes to bed and wakes up early, it would probably be nice if my husband and I could have a bedroom to ourselves with our son. This is where I feel like trying to pick a resort to get the most value for our dollar starts to get confusing!
It's been almost 7 years since I last planned a WDW vacation, so I'm feeling a little rusty! Any suggestions for what you'd do resort-wise for a large party like ours?
Thanks in advance!

It really depends on your budget, where you want to stay, and how many rooms you want. Also, what theming to you like?
If you can afford deluxe, you might want to consider staying in the Epcot area. There are more things for adults to do.

A DVC grand villa sleeps 12 + 1 in a pack & play.
It has a master bedroom with king bed, a 2nd bedroom with 2 queen beds, a 3rd bedroom with 2 double beds, a queen size pullout couch and a twin size sleeper chair.
With your combination of people, I can't imagine how you'd do the sleeeping arrangements with that bed situation.
I almost think you'd be better getting separate rooms at a resort. Or you could get a grand villa and a 2BR DVC. 2BR DVC has a king bed in the master BR, 2 queens in the 2nd BR & the same sleeper couches.
Grand villa would be mom & dad, your family w/kid, brother's family w/kids. 2BR would be sister, middle bro, younger middle bro, youngest bro & girlfriend. Maybe sister & girlfiredn share the king, other brothers take the beds & 1 on th epullout. You could also put some of the "singles" onto the couch in the grand villa if necessary.
But this would be pretty expensive.
You might also want to look into separate rooms at a value or deluxe, although all of them are pretty much bus to all parks, with the exception of Port Orleans where you can take the boat to DTD.

Two treehouse villas would work. Each one has three bedrooms -- queen beds in two and bunk beds in the third, plus queen sleeper and single sleeper in the living room. There are two bathrooms in each villa. There is a boat to Downtown Disney.
If you want to be at the Boardwalk, consider the Boardwalk Inn Deluxe rooms. Each one sleeps six plus one under age 3. There are two queen beds, and a queen sofa bed. All rooms have Boardwalk views and come with club level services in the nearby lounge (continental breakfast -- which is very convenient for a large crowd, midday snacks, evening appetizers, soda, beer and wine -- all of which is very conducive to happy family time after a day at the parks or by the pool.)
Also, if you can get a good rate, it might make sense to get five or six rooms at Swan/Dolphin. That way everyone has lots of privacy, plus you are in a great location for Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios. Depending on the time of year, Swan/Dolphin has very good rates.

Thanks so much for the responses! You've definitely given me some things to think about.
I'm not sure of the budget yet; going to get together with my mom to talk about it this weekend. I think I'll try and get a few options together at different price ranges to present to her.
So excited to be planning another trip!

Just from a one time stay, we were a group of 7....6 adults and one infant .... We did a 2 bedroom villa....wished we had done 3 separate rooms somewhere...
Everyone or family gets a real bed, no sofa sleeper or chair...
Every family gets their own bathroom
Everyone get to control the climate in their room to their liking
Everyone has a place to retreat to to get away from everyone during the day.... Nap, peace and quiet
It may sound unfriendly wanting your own room, but after a day in the hot sun, multiple crowd jostlings, being constantly together get old real fast ..... Separate rooms and you can meet up at the pool or lounge for a free for all during the day but have a retreat if needed,...

Multiple hotel rooms.
One for Mom & Dad
One for Big Bro and his family
One for you and your family
One or two for the rest of the crowd based on how they want to divide up.
Then nobody gets hard feelings because they got stuck in the living room on a sleeper sofa. Or they got a queen bed to share instead of a king sized bed to share. Or they had to keep the kids in the room with them instead of the kids with their parents.
And if you want a door to open between two rooms, request connecting rooms not adjoining rooms. Adjoining only means close to each other, maybe sharing a wall, but not a door.

The Lee Boys are a world-famous family band of six Perrine natives who went to Miami Killian Senior High School. It's three brothers — rhythm guitar man Alvin and singers Derrick and Keith Lee — alongside three nephews — pedal steel guitar player Roosevelt Collier, bassist Alvin Cordy Jr., and drummer Earl Walker — all playing an updated, Miami-style version of sacred steel music strongly influenced by funk, soul, blues, rock, and R&B.
"We throw that Miami flavor, that Latino flavor, in there, and we really enjoy the music," Alvin explains. "But it's infused with a lot of rhythm & blues and funk. This was a tradition passed down by our father. My father was taught by his uncle, and we taught our nephews. It's like a generational thing."
For the past nine years, the Lee Boys have toured the world, playing 120 shows a year and sharing the stage with Little Richard, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and the Allman Brothers. But this Friday night, the family is gonna turn out the party at the Stage.

Let it be known: Feet will stomp, bass will thump, and hips will shake. Just like Alvin says: "It's not sitting music."

Catching Out
I WON'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE, LEST UNION PACIFIC get wise and throw up another security camera, a few more reels of razor wire or some of those infrared sensors I keep hearing about. Suffice it to say that we're east of the river, not too far from downtown, and that there are a lot of train tracks around -- which is the point, really, since we're here to catch a train, but not Amtrak or Metrolink or anything so banal. We want a northbound freight, with luck one that will take us all the way up to Dunsmuir, just 50 or 60 miles below the Oregon line, in time for the annual hobo gathering there.
We heave our packs onto our shoulders and trek over mounds of concrete and twisted rebar. We settle in a clearing surrounded by rusted truck cadavers, their doors hanging open like broken wings, and listen to the hissing of air brakes in the yard behind us, to the hum of the electric wires, crickets chirping, and garbled orders from the Men's Central Jail PA system echoing across the river. What we don't hear is trains. Forty minutes go by, and not one has passed. "This is the waiting part," says Clare. Virginia, who has four years of sporadic train-hopping under her belt, nods in agreement. "This is what it's mainly like."
On the way to the Dunsmuir Hobo Gathering, Clare practices hobo songs on her ukulele.
Virginia, Clare and I spend the night curled in our sleeping bags amid the chaparral and rubbish. Only two trains pass -- one heading south, and a northbound that could've been ours had a crew of workers not been laboring a few yards away. With dawn our camp is revealed in all its postnuclear glory. I find an empty backpack, a handmade shank with its blade snapped off, a spool of surgical tape and a Bible, one of its pages penciled full with Spanish scribblings. I can make out only one sentence: "Love is extinguishing itself."
We return at night and are almost ready to give up when four locomotives roll slowly out of the yard, towing a northbound freight. They're gorgeous, sleek and huge and gleaming, all power and promise in the yellow lithium light. We jog through the gravel, lugging our packs and, running now, grab the ladder to a piggyback, leap up and pull ourselves on.
A piggyback is a flat car that carries the ass end of a semi truck, just the cargo box and the rear axles. We jam our packs into the narrow spaces above the axles and hide behind the wheels. I curl myself as small as possible, dreading the beam of a spotlight, the bark of a cop. The train stops for five minutes and I do my best not to move. It picks up again, slowly, and the river snakes by to my right. The towers on Bunker Hill loom bright in the distance, looking sillier than they ever have before. We pass Main Street and are out of the yard, picking up speed. Sitting there, wedged in among brake hoses, fluid reservoirs and spiny metal things, with dozens of identical cars ahead of me and more than I can count behind, I panic for a second and ask myself, "Just where in fuck's name am I going?" Then a smile spreads itself across my face, and I don't care at all.
Tehachapi Pass at dawn.
WE'RE HEADING TO DUNSMUIR TO EXplore this curiously American phenomenon, which, despite rumors of its death dating back at least a half-century, seems to be catching on again. Men (and until recently, it has been largely men) began riding freight trains after the Civil War, when enough track had been laid to make it worthwhile, and enough dislocated veterans had become averse to staying still. Since then every major war and economic downturn has seen a return to the rails, providing a sort of shadow history of America, a constantly mobile underground of migrant workers, radicals, dreamers and thieves, misfits of all kinds who didn't mesh with the societal weave. During the depressions of the 1890s and 1930s, it was a common if not entirely acceptable way for working-class men to get around in search of wages. In the '30s, Frank Czerwanka, one of Studs Terkel's sources in Hard Times, recalled, "When a train would stop in a small town and the bums got off, the population tripled."

Bass Pro Shops Painted Lead Worm Weights - Black 22 22
Well finished. These bullets have a nice looking slick & durable finish on them. Can't beat the BPS price. June 3, 2014
Great Weight I like to use these weights anytime I am fishing a pegged texas rig so the the weight and bait blend together to project a single profile November 3, 2013
DYISlither Rigs w BPS Sinkers We all have enough hooks, trailers, sinkers and skirts, just add a few beads between the hook and the skirt, rig it with a Beaver Tail and add a bead between the shirt and the sinker and you just saved yourself lots of money and you get to choose your trailer.....Beavertail, double tail grub, any long crawfish. Big, bulky and flashy and made out of components you probably have. If not, buy them here. It's easy and it's versatile. May 15, 2013
Scratch proof Fished the weight very hard on a Carolina rig all day and the paint never even chipped off the weight. March 13, 2013

Are Lead weights going to be a thing of the past?
Details:I heard that the production of lead weights is going to be stopped because of the environmental impact. Does anyone know if this is this true?

A:The use of lead weights varies from State to State, and lake to lake be sure and check fishing regulations if you are uncertain, the ban of lead weights will most often be posted near a boat ramp if lead weights are prohibited.

A:What I've researched is it will not be stopped but there may be stricter regulations on size. for example: a lake might say weights of 1/2oz and above should be tungsten. i am not 100% on this

A:I believe lead weights under a certain size, such as 1/2 oz. are being targeted as ducks and water birds will consume them. Larger weights have not been on the radar, at least on the West Coast.

A:I really don't think so. You may see some stuff come up regarding water fowl, but as far as fishing I think lead is her to stay.

text: I'm in love with the architecture of my neighborhood, Capitol Hill, which is a historic preservation district. I photograph it all the time, but it doesn't matter in which direction I set out, I can always find something new that catches my eye. Today it was this fine row of 19th century houses with their matching roofs (usually not all still have them, or they do but not in such good shape).
