Michael Figueroa was born in New York City and raised in Easton, PA. He moved to Tucson Arizona in 1969 to attend the University of Arizona to begin his studies, initially in Chinese language and history, later business and law. In Tucson, Michael worked as a law clerk for a private attorney, an insurance salesman, a real estate title company salesman, and obtained his real estate agent and brokers license in 1980. He formed and grew a private mortgage banking company that was severely hit by the 1987 recession. Michael then experienced multiple lawsuits due to all the issues that arise when a business goes bankrupt. In the 1990s, he self-educated himself how to buy properties in foreclosure, bankruptcy, IRS and estate tax sales, and how to buy and sell judgments. Michael has been involved in hundreds of foreclosure sales. By 2000 as the economy improved, he syndicated and subdivided land in to building lots and helped to create a development company that raised in investor and bank capital over $100,000,000. This was unfortunately also hit by the recession of 2007 that we are still in. In his philanthropic and community activities, Michael has served on the Naval Special Warfare Foundation (Navy SEALs) where he currently sits as an ambassador on the advisory board. He is also a member of the Tucson Police Foundation, manages a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy, and served on the advisory board of the Yangtze International University in Nanjing, China.

[Laiza, border trade center and headquarters of KIO on China-Burma border, northern Burma.]
Laiza, border trade center and headquarters of KIO on China-Burma border, northern Burma.
The mini-great wall will be seven miles long and it will divide Laiza border trade centre into two parts--- the controlled areas of Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) in Burma and the China side, said residents in KIO's Laiza area.
According to eyewitnesses, as part of the activities to lay the foundation, a line of ground block hole is now visible near the Laiza border market of the KIO. The ground block hole for the wall is about 10-feet wide. The wall it seems is being built for people to walk along it like the Great Wall of China, added residents.
Regarding the construction on the Laiza side, China says the wall is aimed to prevent drugs and drug smugglers entering from Burma through the KIO controlled Laiza areas, said sources close to Chinese border authorities.
A resident of Laiza told KNG today, "The wall will not prevent entry of drugs from the Burma side because it is a porous border. I think the wall is being built to politically divide ethnic Kachins in Burma's Kachin state and Jinghposu (Kachins) in China's Yunnan province".
Meanwhile, the Burmese ruling junta awarded a contract to China on November 20 to construct oil and gas pipelines from Bay of Bengal across Burma to Kunming in southwestern China. The total estimated investment is around $2.55 billion, stated China's state-run media.
Sources close to members of the Chinese Communist Party in Yunnan province said, China is apprehensive of wars between ethnic insurgents and Burma's ruling junta along its Yunnan province border with northern Burma after the 2010 elections in Burma.
Laiza is also the general headquarters of the KIO which signed a ceasefire agreement with Burma's ruling junta in 1994. It is a separately administered area by the KIO and China but some areas are jointly administered, said KIO officials.

A pen that is wireless, who would have guessed. I could see this being useful for a fashion designer or artists for turning their sketches into digital form. At first I thought about Draw Something as well, but from what I can tell it saves as a file and allows you to transfer the file to your PC. Not sure if that would work, but it also does say "Digitize real-time what you write or draw on paper to your iPad/iPhone/iPod". Anybody know?

I got one a month or so ago when it was just the daily woot.

I would have paid if it worked perfectly and I just didn't want it. But it was broken! They should pay for return shipping! So, I told them I would post my experience and let people know that their exchange policy is teh sux!

Time has announced its 100 Most Influential People in the World, and we are proud to say, there are some BUSTy ladies on the list.
Here, eight women from the ranks who are doing truly amazing things.
For the full list, click over to Time.
Viola DavisIt has been quite the year for Ms. Davis. She was nominated for an Oscar for her role in The Help, and she has taken many opportunities along the way to discuss the kinds of roles that exist for women of color in Hollywood.
Hillary ClintonThe Secretary of State has been a feminist icon for decades now, and her time in the Obama administration has been intriguing to watch. Plus, she knows how to let loose and can even take a joke at her expense. All while kicking ass and taking names.
Sarah BurtonShe stepped in to fill the shoes of the late Alexander McQueen. Burton designed the royal wedding dress and is continuing to produce beautiful, haunting clothes for McQueen's namesake fashion line.
Anjali GopalanAn Indian activist, Gopalan left Brooklyn to found the Naz Foundation and aid the development of a strong LGBT community in her homeland. She also runs a home for HIV-positive orphans and continues to advocate for sexual minorities throughout India.
Elinor OstromIn 2009, Ostrom became the first female recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics--a field that is traditionally thought of as a boys' club.
Cecile RichardsPresident of Planned Parenthood since 2006, Richards is a tireless activist for women's rights. Especially in light of the year that Planned Parenthood has had, we are lucky that women like Richards continue to advocate for women's health and reproductive rights.
Kristen WiigBUST favorite and Saturday Night Live castmember, Wiig has hit a career high with the release of her film Bridesmaids. She is one of a troop of funny women that are heralding a lady-age in comedy.
Samira IbrahimIn the political turmoil of Egypt, Ibrahim was detained by Egyptian soldiers and forced to undergo "virginity tests." Rather than suffering in silence, she sued the military and continues to speak out for the injustices women suffer in her culture.

My son worked for a company all off 2002. Here is the situation- any help would be appreciated
1. The company had a system glitch and did not collect taxes from any employee(local taxes) for all 2002 2. They are paying the taxes but want all employees to reimburse them 3. My son would have gotten all that money back that year($250) due to low wages 4. Not sure if he will this year and I don't even know how to claim it? Any advise would help |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd say that their error is not his problem at this point. |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Mon, Feb 2, 04 at 16:00
I don't think you can apply the same principles for this that you might for a bill or something. We're talking the government, and they don't have any statute of limitations. They may really have messed your son up, logistically. Here's what I'm thinking should happen. |
This is the company saying this? I think I would contact the state, and see if they have some insight. The whole thing sounds very sketchy. |
- Posted by wnlbutterfly (My Page) on Wed, Mar 10, 04 at 10:07
This does seem odd. If they didn't take taxes out of his wages back then, he would have gotten a W-2 showing his wages and showing no taxes paid out of that right? Then he filed his return. If he owed because he hadn't paid in taxes on that W-2, he would have paid IRS and State, if he didn't owe anything, he didn't get anything back since he hadn't paid it in (seems like the latter). So as far as the IRS is concerned he has statisfied his end of the taxes. Something is very wrong with this company. Sure, maybe a computer glitch, but could also be they were claiming employees as statutory, which means not withholding any taxes, and if someone called them on it, they are backtracking and trying to clean things up. When they claim statutory, they don't have to pay matching social security, which is out of their pockets. But it should have been on a 1099-misc if that was the case. If that is what they did that money might be going into his social security fund, and in that case means he wouldn't be getting that back. I would clarify with this company on that issue as well. (If it's Federal taxes, State taxes, or Social Security). I wouldn't send them any money. Your son has squared things with his taxes just fine. Now if you do send money...they had BETTER send you a corrected W-2. You will have to amend that years return for both IRS AND STATE (and if you aren't doing it yourself....you are paying more expenses out of pocket for the companies errors). So basically you are sending them money, then having to ask IRS/State for that money back, what is the point other than to get the company out of hot water. I work for a tax prep office and hubby works for IRS. Let me run this by them both this weekend and see what I get and will post again. I think they will back me up on this, but I like to double check. |

I believe Sportsmom12 is referring to LOCAL tax (not Federal or State) that was not collected by employer. Do not confuse LOCAL tax with Federal or State tax. When your son had his taxes done for 2002 he should have filed a Federal, State, and LOCAL return. The LOCAL return should have showed that he did not have LOCAL tax withheld and therefore he probably paid the LOCAL tax he owed with his 2002 LOCAL return. So no need for him to pay the company. If his income was low enough he may have filed his LOCAL return and had no tax due (rules for LOCAL returns vary). Should the company have to pay the LOCAL tax and your son does not reimburse them the company may either: 1) pay the tax bill and consider it their loss or 2) the company could pay the tax bill and issue your son a 1099-MISC for the amount they paid on his behalf (it would be considered income). The 1099-MISC would be included as miscellaneous income when he does his taxes next year. Not meaning to shout LOCAL just want to make sure everyone realizes we are referring to local tax and not Federal or State taxes which have different rules. |
- Posted by sportsmom12 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 15, 04 at 19:47
Like to learn- I am really confused now. I have never filled out a local return?=only state and federal. We have always paid local taxes (both me and my son) Can you elaborate more on doing a local tax return? When I file my federal I use the itemized form(A) and put this down as taxes paid. My son of course doesn't itemize- so is that what you meant he could fill out a local return? Like I said, I have never heard of that Thanks |
- Posted by wnlbutterfly (My Page) on Thu, Mar 18, 04 at 11:03
I am here at the tax office (no names), and yes, some cities have local taxes. Most likely if you don't know about local taxes, you don't usually file that. SO...I would say....DO NOT pay them back. It should actually go on a W-2 as more wages and you would file that next year, they might put it on a 1099-misc, and you would file a schedule C if they do that, and for Federal, anything under $400 doesn't require self-employment taxes. It would just bump up his income that $250 without any additional withholdings. I would bet that the company will not file the paperwork correctly and you will get something odd (like a W-2 with no wages and just the local taxes at $250), or a nonemployee compensation...we see all sorts of stuff. Just remember, that the IRS will only receive what the employer sends them, so if they send a 1099-misc, go ahead and file it like that and don't worry that is might not be on the correct form. You are talking a very small potatoes for the IRS. But all the tax pros here are voting to not pay the company back, their mistake. Laura |

Why Dragon Soul nerfs are good for everyone, especially hardcore guilds {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2012 6:27PM I don't have a problem with the nerfs in practice, in a raid with low participation rates. I DO have a problem with raids being released that aren't fun at Normal level, aren't fun at Raid Finder Level and possibly aren't fun at Heroic level-just to please people who want really, really punishing raids. Nerfed Not-Fun raid-still not fun! Build the raid to be enjoyable at normal level, then apply tweaks to make it Heroic, not the other way around.
Spiritual Guidance: How to increase your HPS as a discipline priest {WoW}
Feb 7th 2012 7:08AM I completely second that fight knowledge is the most important thing.
I also disagree heartily with the people who think we shouldn't at least know how to play aggressively. #1-it keeps you on your toes and makes you able to react faster when an unexpected emergency happens. #2-as disc priests, our aggressive play makes it much less likely than an emergency will occur.
There is really a balance to how much PWS you can throw out mana-wise, and viable non-WS targets. I don't worry at all about reducing WS on anybody on the tank, and even then only if it's a tank damage phase. I focus more on PoH any group with 2 or more low-health targets, because that aegis will come in handy later.
Ol' Grumpy and the Dragon Soul nerf {WoW}
Jan 19th 2012 8:15PM Ultraxion took several weeks for us since we didn't show up in 391 gear. I'm sure anyone in my guild could get recruited up to a more progressed guild, but we want to raid with each other. Even if the raid leader is playing SWTOR instead of plastering sticky notes to his monitor for raid callouts. Burning out any one of us puts us all at risk of quitting.
Shifting Perspectives: Probing healer balance in Dragon Soul {WoW}
Jan 18th 2012 6:54AM I think the extra absorption healing from Holy Radiance applying Illuminated Healing (on top of what Discipline Priests were already doing) is suppressing Shamans a good bit. There are probably other mechanics at play (like Shaman cast times) but I'm pretty sure we're doing a good job of suppressing their Mastery in all but the toughest situations.
5 ways to improve the Raid Finder {WoW}
Dec 15th 2011 11:03PM I'd like to see some sort of incentive for people to study the fights, perhaps a quest to read the Dungeon Journal.
Barring that, perhaps some sort of shock device for people who can't follow a kill order?
Can I say it's been a rough week in Raid Finder?
Know Your Lore, Tinfoil Hat Edition: The genesis of Azeroth, page 2 {WoW}
Nov 6th 2011 11:09PM Truly an amazing column, I'd be surprised if at least some of this didn't turn out to be true, it ties in so tightly.
The thing I don't understand is, why leave life on Azeroth at all, given the risks. I guess that ties into your theory of life being the weapon against Sargeras (could apply to Azeroth as well.)
Ready Check: Looking at raid accessibility {WoW}
Nov 5th 2011 10:49AM Great post, and covers almost all of the concerns I had.
The only concern I didn't see addressed much is the skill gap and what it means for recruitment. We are 7/7 with no hope of doing hardmodes unless we get more raiders at the right level, and we just aren't getting those apps, at all. People without raid experience, or just nerfed T11 experience, wouldn't be worth the risk at all if they weren't the only choice. In general, there's a reason they weren't raiding before, and it's either they didn't have the skill, or they don't care to deal with raiding for long.
"There are no simple solutions" -- Design diversity in WoW {WoW}
Oct 15th 2011 6:50PM I actually feel worse than ever. I've grown a lot as a raider during the trial that has been Cataclysm, but now I'm put in the position to either push harder or stop trying. I don't feel like I should be put a position like that as a normal-mode raider, but the pain of trying to carry less-mindful players through a technical fight like Rag has me considering drastic solutions.
Firelands raid changes incoming {WoW}
Sep 12th 2011 9:34PM I've been a lot happier with my T12 progress than my T11, and I felt like we had a decent shot at downing Ragnaros. My guild hasn't had any interest in hardmodes since ICC, but it looks like we'll have to do those if we want any sort of challenge.
Spiritual Guidance: How to play an Atonement priest {WoW}
Aug 1st 2011 10:04PM Haste is the strongest, or second strongest, stat for most Disc playstyles. Crit falls to last if you rely heavily on PWS, Mastery falls to last if you don't, and Haste benefits both playstyles.

I made a 10" round rosette cake, 4" high and delivered it to my customer's house. It was buttercream and they were taking it an hour away the next day. It was not refrigerated.
It collapsed in transport in their car. Did this happen because it needed to be refrigerated to firm up? Were the rosettes too heavy to stay properly adhered to the side of the cake?
I feel badly. The customer was not upset at all, but it was such a pretty cake and I wish they could have fully enjoyed it.
Any ideas? I didn't dowel it, maybe that's that's the entire issue...facepalm!!

Utah's economy continues to grow stronger even as some prices increase. For the second consecutive month, prices have increased in health care and food.
According to the Zions Bank Wasatch Front Consumer Price Index, the price of medical care increased 2.5 percent in June after being relatively stable this year across the Wasatch Front. Most medical services reported price hikes in June, which contributed to the largest increase in the cost of medical care since October of 2011.
Medical care costs in the U.S. have escalated 4.0 percent over the last year, much faster than the rate of inflation. The Wasatch Front has experienced a much smaller 0.5 percent increase in medical costs over the same period.
A relatively healthy population and an efficient health care system help explain stable medical care prices in Utah. The United Health Foundation ranks Utah as the seventh healthiest state, and Utah is one of only a few states to have an effective health insurance exchange.
Food costs along the Wasatch Front increased for the second month in a row–though not as sharply as health care costs. Food at home and food away prices both rose 0.6 percent. Increases in the price of meat products, including beef and poultry, continue to drive food at home costs higher.
The drought in the Midwest has severely affected crop production this summer. Smaller harvest yields mean that meat producers have to pay more for corn and grain to feed their livestock, and the increase in the price of production gets passed on to the consumer. Meat prices are likely to maintain their upward momentum as the price of corn and other inputs increase.
"It's important to remember that even though the recovery has been tepid, the economy is in a much better place now than it was 12 to 18 months ago," said Zions Bank President and CEO Scott Anderson. "In Utah, unemployment is lower and consumer confidence is higher than they were at this time last year. While policy makers struggle to steady international markets, Utah is positioned to lead the recovery here in the U.S. Zions Bank will continue to track the economy and deliver the most relevant information Utahns."

Not too long ago, I had a conversation with a journalist who was adamantly sticking up for her story in the face of criticism. The story included a statement of the form "X, says Y", where Y was an anonymous source. Various other people were saying that X was not, in fact, true. But the journalist was standing firm. I then asked her whether she was standing firm on the statement "X, says Y", which she reported — or whether she was standing firm on the statement that X. And here's the thing that struck me: it took her a long time to even understand the distinction. A lot of American journalists stick the sourcing in there because they have to — but they very much consider themselves to be reporting news, and if X turned out not to be true, they would never consider their story to be correct, even if it were true that Y had indeed said that X.
Elsewhere, however, those conventions don't hold. In a lot of political reporting, you have one person saying "X", and another person saying "not-X", and it's left to the reader to decide whether one or the other or neither is telling the truth. And even facts can end up being attributed to people, which is even more confusing. Consider this, for instance, from a recent NYT article by Motoko Rich:
The home ownership rate has been falling from its peak of 69.4 percent in 2004, according to census data. By the fourth quarter of 2011, it was down to 66 percent. That means about two million more households are renting, said Kenneth Rosen, an economist and professor of real estate at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.
This is Rosen's only appearance in the article, and he's not being used to give an opinion, or an expert analysis: he's being used to count rental households. And, at least on the face of things, he's not particularly good at that. According to the 2010 census summary, there are 116,716,292 occupied housing units in America. So a basic back-of-the-envelope calculation would say that if the proportion of those units which went from owner-occupied to rented moved from 69.4% to 66%, then the increase in rental households would be 3.4% of 116,716,292, which comes to almost exactly 4 million. That's double Rosen's number.
Or, we can get more accurate, and go back to the 2005 American Community Survey, which showed 36,771,635 renter-occupied housing units in total. Contrast that with 2010, where there were 40,730,218 renter-occupied housing units. The difference, again, is almost exactly 4 million.
Most accurately of all, you can look directly at the Census Bureau's quarterly estimates of the US housing inventory. According to that series, the number of renter-occupied houses in the US was 32,913,000 in the second quarter of 2004; it's now 38,771,000. The difference there is not 2 million or 4 million but rather 5.9 million. (In the same time, the number of owner-occupied households has increased by 1.2 million.)
Now Rosen may or may not have good reason to believe that in fact the real increase in renting households is only 2 million rather than 4 million or 6 million. But if he does, that reason is not the drop in the homeownership rate from 69.4% to 66%. Not given the number of households in this country. (The homeownership data is here, by the way; it's worth noting that Rich didn't link to it.)
All of which housing wonkery is to say that even basic facts like the increase in US rental households can be non-trivial to pin down, and that both Rich and her readers would probably have been better off if she hadn't bothered phoning Rosen at all, and had just got her numbers for the increase in rental households directly from the people measuring such things. Citing sources doesn't help the reader at all, here: if Rich had been forced to assert the increase in rental households, rather than simply attributing the number to Rosen, then she would probably have got something closer to the truth.
The difference between linking and citing is the difference between showing and telling. I'm not a big fan of citing, mainly because it gets in the way: we might learn a lot about where the Haas School of Business might be, but at the same time we'll learn nothing useful about the increase in the number of rental households. On the other hand, if Rich had simply said that "about six million more households are renting", complete with hyperlink, that would have been shorter, more useful, and more accurate, even if there were no explicit citation.

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: The film is best when it takes itself seriously, worst when it takes the easy way out in giggly camp -- as it does, finally and fatally, when Lex Luthor enters the action.
- Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader, Tuesday, April 17, 2007
Fresh: ...the film has aged incredibly poorly in the years since its 1978 debut.
- David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews, Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Fresh: The film ranks among the greatest crowd pleasers in cinema history, an achievement it will surely hold for a long time.
- Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Audience Reviews
Wow, it's been ages since I saw this film. I think last time wasn't even on this side of the millenium. It's still good after all these years, even if I don't love as much now as when I was younger. One thing that will never fade with time though, is the fantastic music theme, composed by no other than the eminent John Williams. The action scenes remain brilliant as well, and are even up to par excitement-wise with today's superhero movies (albeit the special effects obviously have a lower "wow" factor). So when all is said and done, this still keeps its status as a charming and lustrous classic.
- CloudStrife84, Thursday, October 28, 2010
The first great superhero movie that paved the way for all future adaptions. Richard Donner and Mario Puzo made superheros realistically fit into the world as much as they could and made comic books more than just something for kids. While it it wasn't a perfect movie at the time, the extended cut really shapes it into one. The performance of Christopher Reeves is great and captures Superman perfectly. However, it's Gene Hackman that completely steals the show and make Lex Luthor even more kooky and diabolical.
- ythelastman89, Thursday, May 27, 2010
Superman is by far the best Superhero movie of all time. Sure the new Batman films are excellent but they're not a touch on Donner's classic. Reeve is the quintessential Superman, even though he the 3rd (or is it 4th?) person to play him. I just can't express how much I adore this film, it has been my favourite since childhood and I must have watched it over 100 times. I love everything about it and can find no faults with it. Brilliant!

Just boosting up the cruise countdown, so we can all see that we are only about three months out right now!!
I like to count days instead of weeks so:
Sounds great!
98 days really doesn't sound like very long now does it??
98 days. Just over three months. A lot to do between now and then. (Of course, I have a lot to do between now and this time tomorrow, too.)
Are you packed yet?? :yahoo:
Nope. Are you?
Paasports (whew) finally in hand... excursion list sitting on my desk... meeting with Cheryl next week... oh baby I can't wait!!!!! :cruise:
I sooooooo wish I were going with you Disney cruisers. It I enjoyed an overnight ferry ride to Oslo, I can only assume that a Disney cruise would be over the top!
Physically, no! Mentally, sort of. Got that running list in my head all the time! Also, for anyone interested, Gymboree has THE cutest line of nautical styled kids clothing. It's all on sale now too! So, I might have to get DD a dress or skirt/top outfit.
That passport thing was my biggest worry too! Glad everything is in order so far!
Here we go, it's two months! Let's see some excitement!!
Show me the Magic!!
Woohooo Two Months!!
:yahoo: :cheers2: :yahoo:
Sounds like a lot of fun
Just look at that countdown. One Month and One Week (okay fine six days too). It's going to be here before you know it and Lou will have been to Disney World two times between now and then. Man, I gotta get job like that!! :yes:
lol man can we go to Disney World
Okay people, did you notice? We are at what 37 days?
Can you imagine, in a mere 37 days, we'll be sailing the High Seas! I actually sort of started packing a little. I pulled out the nice clothes I want to take, tried them all to make sure they fit (and will still fit by the end of the cruise, I hope). I picked out "an outfit" for Pirate night. I don't want to dress up per-se, but I do have a nice blouse that's sort of piratey, I will be packing my Heart of the Sea necklace (like Tia Dalma wore in POTC3). So, c'mon cruisers, let's not have our big moment get lost between Celebration 25 and Mousefest!

LPN- Saunders Comprehensive Review vs. Exam Cram For The NCLEX
0Aug 24, '13 by jottmers1I'm a newly graduated vocational nurse and was wondering if anyone has used either of these books. Which one would you recommend and why?
Thanks! -
0Aug 24, '13 by cydei've used both and found them both very helpful. i especially like the crams mainly because it covers everything you need in a condensed style. 400 - 1000 questions depending on which crams book you use. saunders is great too but just too many questions for me (3200). i basically picked around saunder and went back to crams. i used both crams books and passed nclex the first time. i posted on here about how i approached it. i'll try to find the thread. good luck! ;D

My lovely sister tied the knot on the weekend and as a bridesmaid I felt the least I could do is make a lunch for her and the fellow bridesmaids to enjoy before the official ceremony. What I came up with is a gorgeous buckwheat salad paired with chickpea patty wraps (the recipe for these patties can be found here) I wanted to create something wholesome and light because I'm very aware of how certain foods can be very bloating (not ideal for wearing a wedding dress). I managed to concoct this delicious salad with an array of flavours that just meld together beautifully. It's a perfect combination of savoury and sweet, with the tender saltiness of the buckwheat and spinach paired with the creamy roasted pumpkin and hint of sweet chilli…divine. Give it a go and you'll be in food heaven.
Serves 2
- Roasted pumpkin -
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil
3c pumpkin (I used 1/4 whole pumpkin)
- Buckwheat salad -
1.5c sprouted buckwheat
3 handfuls of spinach leaves
2 tsp sweet chilli sauce
optional: slice of feta
1 tomato
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2. Slice your pumpkin into 3 sections. Remove the skin. Cut the sections into even bite sized pieces.
3. Transfer the pumpkin to the oven tray. Drizzle over the oil and use your hands to mix this through. Add the cumin to the pumpkin pieces to finish.
4. Slide the tray in the oven and cook for 40 minutes. Set a timer for 30 minutes – once this goes off, check on your pumpkin and add the pumpkin seeds to the spaces in between the pieces to roast.
5. Bring a pot with 2 inches of water to boil. Add 1.5c of sprouted buckwheat (if you're unfamiliar with sprouting buckwheat look here – I will write a tutorial soon!) to a steamer basket and place this on the pot. Cover and allow to steam for a few minutes. When the buckwheat is almost tender add the spinach (spinach only takes 60 seconds to cook this way) and cover for another minute or two. Season with salt + pepper and set aside to cool.
6. Add your buckwheat + spinach to two servings bowls. Mix through the pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. Add a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce to each bowl and your diced tomato. For added flavour (and a dairy option) sprinkle a slice of feta over the mixture. With a fork or spoon mix all of these ingredients together.

Payroll Deduction Offers Way to Contribute
Employees at CSULB now have the opportunity to contribute to a variety of university programs via payroll deduction. By signing up for payroll deduction, employees will be able to direct donations to 84 areas designated at this time, giving participants the ability to contribute to up to three different entities on campus. The Support the Beach Payroll Deduction Program gives faculty, staff and emeriti a convenient method to participate in the continued growth and development of CSULB. Employees are encouraged to make philanthropic gifts to a favorite department, program, college, or the university as a whole. These gifts are utilized to enhance the educational mission of the institution and represent a personal decision on the part of contributors to give back to their campus with a financial donation. We've had payroll deduction for athletics and the Library in the past, said Aristide Collins, Jr., vice president for university relations and development. People have come to me and asked for this. This is just a service we are providing. A lot of people want to give, but they need the mechanism to do so and this will do that for them. I'm particularly glad that faculty and staff will now have such a convenient way to support the university, said Gary Reichard, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. There are many whose commitment to what we do may lead them to want to contribute even beyond their good work. This will let them do it. The appropriate forms can be obtained whether by printing them online or by contacting Julie Wilson, the campus coordinator for the Support the Beach Payroll Deduction Program, at 562/985-8867 or email@example.com. One of the most important things for people to know is that every dollar helps support a program on this campus, added Collins. Not everyone is a million-dollar donor. Last year we had almost 20,000 donors to this campus. If somebody commits to give just $10 a month, that $120 a year can impact a program. A new Web site, www.csulb.edu/payroll-deduction, provides a complete list of CSULB programs where donations may be designated. The Web site also provides information on the program including tax deductibility and gift acknowledgement timing, as well as access to all program forms. |

Just a day after Josh Koscheck was forced out of his UFC 151 co-main event slot versus Jake Ellenberger, the UFC has found a replacement in former UFC fighter, Jay Hieron. Hieron went 0-2 inside the Octagon and last competed in the UFC in 2005, losing via cut stoppage to Jonathan Goulet in one of the bloodiest fights in UFC history. In his promotional debut at UFC 48, Hieron lost to Georges St. Pierre by first-round TKO.
Since his UFC release, Hieron has fought for various MMA organizations including Strikeforce, Bellator and IFL. He has won eleven of his last twelve fights, with the lone loss being a controversial split decision loss to Bellator welterweight champion, Ben Askren. Last month, Hieron fought for Texas-based promotion Legacy Fighting Championship defeating Romario Manoel da Silva by second-round technical submission.
Hieron and Ellenberger are actually familiar foes with Hieron picking up a unanimous decision victory over Ellenberger back in 2006 during their IFL days. Now Ellenberger will have a chance at revenge, while Hieron looks to make a statement in the UFC's crowded welterweight division.
UFC 151 takes place September 1st at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada and is headlined by a UFC light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Dan Henderson.

WoW Rookie: Where a noob can be a noob {WoW}
May 27th 2009 7:39PM I feel the same way, especially since I always feel completely out of my element when I roll a new class. I like this column because it's useful even for older players starting all over again.
All the World's a Stage: So you want to be a Jewelcrafter {WoW}
May 18th 2009 8:28AM I had played a miner/prospecting character in the table-top game Traveller that I liked so much that I simply HAD to convert him into WoW so I could keep playing him.
So now I have a disgustingly good and naive human paladin who mines and jewelcrafts. He loves giving gifts to "fair maidens" and if you give him a chance he will go on tangents about the beauty and power of the earth. :)
Blizzard's success with equalizing content {WoW}
May 15th 2009 3:05PM Oh wow. I didn't even realize there were so many people who hated the vehicles because I get so excited whenever one comes up. There were quests in DragonBlight that I would have HATED without having a tank to slaughter the scourge with, and I've gone back and killed gargoyles in the Fjord a bunch of times because of how fun it is.
To each his own, I guess. Personally i'm looking forward to going through the rest of the content and doing more of the vehicle quests. :)
All the World's a Stage: So you want to be a Blacksmith {WoW}
May 11th 2009 8:06AM I'm actually sort of put out about lack of faction recipes myself, and I'm an alchemist. So far looking at factions, I've seen gemcrafting and engineering the most, and then some stuff for bags, but that's it.
Valiance Expedition is particularly depressing since I'm almost exalted with them and they don't have ANYTHING I can use. So yeah, my character is popular with these people, but she doesn't get anything out of it that makes an interesting story.
The Queue: Locke {WoW}
May 8th 2009 8:50AM Wowwiki generally keeps up with new builds and stuff. If you look through the talent and build pages for your class on there as a start, you're bound to find something viable to start from.
You could also google search your class and preferred spec. There are lots of websites out there geared towards specific types of characters (like Discipline Priests, for example).
The Queue: Locke {WoW}
May 8th 2009 8:25AM This is the reason I like dual spec so much. I can still do all my questing, but now if someone asks me to go Holy for an instance (or raid, if I ever get to that point) I can just flip a switch and do it instead of being bitter that I have to pay to respec again.
Nobody wants to go on a raid just to wipe over and over again. This is why people get asked to respec. If you aren't willing to fit the needs of the group so things will get done efficiently, then you aren't going to get asked to go at all.
Disappointment with the patch 3.1 game world {WoW}
May 7th 2009 5:05PM I agree. I stopped playing for about a year, and just started up again a few months ago when I heard they were introducing dual spec. I'm having a lot of fun now, but if I start to feel like it's a job again I'll just stop like I did last time. I don't understand why people trudge through it when they aren't enjoying it.
Disappointment with the patch 3.1 game world {WoW}
May 7th 2009 5:03PM My computer works just fine. I'm not the only one having issues with Dalaran, you know.
Disappointment with the patch 3.1 game world {WoW}
May 7th 2009 2:06PM "The Kirin Tor is definitely interested in what's happening, yet Dalaran remains stagnant. "
Oh yeah, like Dalaran needs even more crap going on. My computer crashes in Dalaran enough as it is, thanks.
A closer look at the School of Hard Knocks {WoW}
May 1st 2009 11:47PM Exactly. As a priest I am quite often not the one assaulting flags or sending them back or running them back to the base to be captured. I am almost always standing afar, healing the flag runner or the people defending the flag runner, because that is the best way I can help win the BG. And I'm not a great PVPer either, so even if I switched to shadow I'd just be an easy farm trying to get in close. :-(

The Matoaca Warriors completed their regular season with an impressive 151-162 victory over the Thomas Dale Knights on the par-36 layout at The Country Club at the Highlands. Sharing medalist honors were the Knight's Griffin Clark and the Warrior's Tyler Hancock. Both golfers fired one-over-par rounds. Matoaca continued its consistent play by keeping all six of its players at 40 or under. Michael Romig, Tyler Broach and Jason Wells all had rounds of 38.
In the district tournament at a rainy Dogwood Trace, the Knights got revenge in upending the favored Warriors 317-319. The Knight's scorers were Neil Tew (78), Eric Blythe (78), Clark (79) and Michaela Conway (82). The Warrior's countered with Wells (77) taking medalist honors, Jack Field (80), Broach (80) and Hancock (82).
Clark was named the district player of the year. He was joined by Romig, Broach and Patrick Johnson on the All-District Team. Romig, Broach and Johnson were also named all-academic.
The local teams will join James River, Cosby, Mills Godwin, Deep Run, Hanover and Lee Davis in vying for the Central Region title. The top two teams and top six individuals will represent the region in state play.

Hey there, Colombe here with one of my top five favorite go-to snack foods. It's a yummy combination of chocolate dipping sauce and skewered fruit. The type of fruit I use depends on the time of year. Today, I have nectarines, peaches, and plums. So I'm just gonna go ahead and cut them up for the skewers. You wanna get them in nice cube-like pieces. Fruit is so healthy. It's filled with fiber and antioxidants. This plum looks fantastic, wooh, and it's nice and juicy. I've got my peach. Okay. This is also great for a picnic or for a barbecue. It's usually a real hit. All right, we're good to go. Now, we can start skewering. So first, I'm gonna start with the mint leaves and these are actually really tasty dipped in chocolate, but you can either use them as a garnish or you can actually eat them. They're really minty and fresh, and go really nicely with the flavors of the plums and the peaches and nectarines here, and this is actually a really fun activity to get your kids involved in and they'll tend to eat a lot more fruit this way. It's really healthy for them. This is tasty on its own, but it gets even better. I'm making my spa style chocolate dipping sauce. First, I pour in the maple syrup then the cocoa powder, and last, a little orange extract. There's no butter, no cream, no extra sugar. Just three simple ingredients, but it's al about the flavors. Once it gets combined, I turn on the heat. You wanna avoid letting it boil. You just wanna get it nice and warm. So let's check the temperature. Ooh, it's getting warm. Now, it's good. Now, enjoy your chocolate because chocolate is loaded with antioxidants. Now, it's all ready to enjoy. I'm so excited. All right, let's give it a try. I love the classic combination of orange and chocolate and it goes so nicely with the fruit. Thanks for visiting. Come back soon. You know exactly where to find me.

According to A.M. Todd, whose assets were recently acquired by Wild Flavors, "Mint is one of the world's most coveted and complex crops. A peppermint plant, for example, has more than 300 constituents and grows in dozens of regions, each of which imparts its own nuance to the oil."

Swedish central bank Deputy Governor Lars E. O. Svensson said policy needs to be set to allow inflation to overshoot the target as high unemployment risks becoming permanent in the largest Nordic economy.
"When unemployment has been high over a long period of time and is becoming entrenched, we need a particularly expansionary monetary policy, a large demand for labor and an inflation rate that is temporarily allowed to overshoot the target," Svensson said in a speech published today on the Riksbank's website.
Svensson last month argued for a deeper cut than the 0.25 percentage point move to 1 percent that the Riksbank delivered. The former Princeton University Professor entered reservations against all rate decisions last year, saying a more expansionary policy will move inflation closer to the Riksbank's 2 percent target.
Sweden's seasonally adjusted unemployment rose to 8.1 percent in November, from 7.7 percent the previous month, the Stockholm-based statistics office said last month. Sweden's annual inflation rate was a minus 0.1 percent in December.

Santa Fe-based Mangiamo Pronto set to open in former Common Grounds space
Categories: Cafe Society, Open and Shut Cases
Guerrero, who was the corporate chef at Il Vicino, a national pizza chain headquartered in Albuquerque, when the first Denver store opened in 2000 at 550 Broadway, says the Colorado outpost of Mangiamo Pronto will be similar to his Santa Fe operation -- but with a few significant upgrades. "In Santa Fe, I do really simple, straightforward food like salads and panini, and we'll do those in Denver, too, but I also want to have a salumi and cheese bar, handmade pastas, a fish and meat special every day and a full bar, which we don't have in Santa Fe," he told me.
When I asked Guerrero why he chose Denver for his next location, he stopped short of saying we were the most wonderful people in the world, but he came close: "Denver is a little city that feels like a bit city, and I've met some of the nicest people anywhere in Denver. I fell in love with it when I spent time there. It really is the best choice for us."
Welcome to the neighborhood.

Things I liked:They don't look real pretty but they perform. I can't dispute the results of a penny size group on the target at 35yds, and I'm just a so-so shot with a springer. Things I would have changed:Nothing, don't mess with success. What others should know:Shooting a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme in 22, 7lbs 10oz with a 6X scope doing 19ftlbs energy. Tried over a dozen of the most common 'go to' pellets for accuracy and performance. This one worked in this rifle. Also JSB RS and Predator PolyMag were very accurate. Each type of pellet grouped to a different POI, so the scope has to be reset for the pellet to be used. Perfect hunting rig for my 50yd limit. Great medium weight pellet. Things I liked:Accurate, inexpensive, nice weight. These pelletts are pretty darn nice and wow are they inexpensive. Good job Gammo, quality and affordability. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:I have been useing these to break in my Benjamin NP Limited edition, they seem fine, and accurate. I have used other Gamo pelletts in the past and have always like the quality, and inovation. Things I liked:The tin has a screw on lid. Things I would have changed:Quality Control What others should know:These are the worst lead pellets I have ever seen, and sight unseen I bought two tins of them. Darn!!! 50% of these pellets are so deformed that I can't shoot them. I mean they are really bad. Gamo is goint to be hearing from me.
I avoided these Gamo pellets like the plague, that was a big mistake.. I tried the Gamo .22 Magnums and they didn't work for me. But these .22 Gamo Hunter pellets were just as good as the JSB pellets I have been buying.. My Hatsan was sighted in with JSB's and with no changes to the scope or my open sights these shot just as tight at 90 feet.. I have a lot of JSB's on hand but I will be buying these because they are cheap and shoot very well.. I think a person has to use what he thinks is the most cool, but to me paying 4.99 a can for these in town and getting that kind of performance is really cool.. It seems to me that if your gun doesn't shoot them well that doesn't mean they are crappy.. I'm glad I picked up a can they worked great for me and I didn't really cool.. I didn't see anymore deformed pellets in this tin I just shot than I have in the top shelf JSBs.. I personally like the JSBs but I will be stocking up on these too..
Don,t waist your time talking to Gamo. I spent $12.95 of my own money to ship pellets back to gamo in Houston Missouri to be tested and all they did was say the chambers must be bad in all three of my guns. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

I have some weed that looks like something people would actually spend money to buy growing all over my property as a ground cover. It is very low growing and prostrate, maybe two or three inches, has tiny shiny spade shaped leaves that grow in rosettes, and makes miniature four petaled square shaped salmon colored flowers, and the stems look like niniature vines. It can be mowed and from a distance looks pretty good so I let it grow and in fact encourage it. The only problem is it makes these little pea sized sticker ball seeds that get stuck in clothing and my cats hair. It can grow in sun or shade, but dries up in the sun eventually if not watered, but can go for a long time in the shade without water. From the description can anyone tell what it is?
I have another weed that is almost the same size but instead of salmon colored flowers it makes green flowers that sort of look like granules like clover flowers do. It makes thousands of seeds, if fact if I mow it the mower bag is full of the seeds. Any idea what that one is? |

- Posted by Californian 10 (My Page) on Tue, May 10, 05 at 17:32
Mistake, the little sticker balls are coming from some weed that grows on threadlike vines with tiny yellow flowers, not fron the ones with slightly thicker vines with salmon colored flowers. So I actually have three different knds of groundcovers that grow on very thin vinelike stems. |
This is likely one of them, maybe you can ID the others from this site too... |
Here is a link that might be useful: burrs
- Posted by Californian 10 (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 05 at 0:35
MorZ8, thanks for the link. I went through all the weeds and think two of mine are California Burclover and Scarlet Pimpernel, also known as poormans weather glass as it can be used to predict rain by whether the flowers are open or closed. I still have one other that may be chickweed but the pictures don't show a plant that has gone to seed. BTW, one Scarlet Pimpernel plant can produce 12,000 seeds. Whatever this weed is I think it will completely take over my lawn soon, but I don't mind as I think it is better than grass as its prettier and I don't have to mow it or even water it. |
Californian, I was going to suggest it might be scarlet pimpernel, as my mom has some growing in her yard this year, and she loves the look of it, as well. When you said it was 4-petalled, it threw me off the scent, though. :D Enjoy that beauty! Brenda |

President Barack Obama formally presents his cybersecurity proposals to the nation, but experts fear it's too little, too late to make a major impact on Americans' lives.
The president will lay out plans next week for identity and privacy protections and network security, as well as ways to spread access to broadband Internet.
A Senate committee gives the nod to the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, which would make it easier for companies and the government to share data during cyberattacks.
Government and business are under constant cyber attack and must learn to "take the hit," says the director of a new cybersecurity training programme.
In another video subterfuge, the comedian shows how gullible people are about cybersecurity.
As President Obama outlines his cybersecurity strategy, tech firms are working on ways to better protect you, without passwords and PIN numbers. Instead, you'd use your body to unlock devices, sign in to accounts and make payments. CNET's Kara Tsuboi shows us how the tech works.
The Detroit Auto Show charges on with more electric models, Samsung reveals its next smartphone, and President Obama proposes new cybersecurity laws.
The Detroit Auto Show charges on with more electric models, Samsung reveals its next smartphone, and President Obama proposes new cybersecurity laws.
The countries' intelligence agencies will work together and conduct cyberwar games later this year to test the security of financial institutions.
The newly formed duo can now detect, prevent, and resolve breaches -- this could have ramifications for security firm competitors and governments accused of spying on their citizens and allies.

Facts about Ming

- Color: Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Ming's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and declawed.
My name is MIng, and I am one extremely beautiful boy! Look at my blue eyes!
Other Pets at Mewtopia Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ming, a Memphis Himalayan cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Himalayan for sale in Memphis, or seeking a Himalayan cat from a breeder in Memphis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Memphis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Memphis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Himalayan breeders who help with Himalayan rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Memphis paves the way for another one to be saved.

This week, we welcome Dr. Dawn Wright to the COMPASS Board of Directors! Dawn's day job (and she would probably tell you, her night and weekend job too) is the Chief Scientist at Esri. I love her story of why, after 17 years in academia, Dawn made the "escape", as she says, to Esri. At its core, her story is really one of communication, leadership, exploration of the relevance of her science, and examination of her place in the scientific enterprise (all things we like helping scientists think about). Dawn is an amazing scientist, a generous human being, a committed communicator, a prolific tweeter and a hard-core cyclist. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her to our board, so she can contribute to helping all of us at COMPASS support scientists in finding their own "so what". [Read more...]

Making Peace with Self Promotion
I prepare for writing projects as if they are adventures, so when I sat down to write a book chapter this spring, I was excited. The topic was self-promotion in social media, for the forthcoming The Complete Guide to Science Blogging, made possible by an NASW Ideas Grant. My coffee was hot, my playlist was inspired, and my background research had me buzzing… but before I started writing, I first saved the tweet I would post when I submitted: [Read more...]
ScienceOnline Climate
Ah, logistics. WiFi, websites, sponsors, speakers, travel, venues, sound, and food – planning a meeting means dozens of details need constant attention. And yet, if we've done our work well, these all fade into the background as an event comes to life. There's something magical about creating a space for conversations to unfold and genuine connections to take root, and I am delighted to have been a part of what we created at ScienceOnline Climate.
ScioClimate, as we call it, was a conference that took place in Washington, D.C. August 15-17. Thanks to professional development support from COMPASS, I was able to join Jamie Vernon and Karyn Traphagen as a co-organizer. But ScioClimate is not over because it's much more than just a meeting – it's a community of people coalescing around issues of how we improve climate science conversations online. Our intent is to go far beyond tactical discussions about how to share research results, and instead to explore the art, science, rhetoric, politics, philosophy, emotion, and practicalities of tackling unprecedented global change.
Nothing sums up my experience at the event better than this tweet by Mark Westneat:
Our News and Information Diets: The Problem with Picky Eaters
Prior to each of our communication trainings, COMPASS asks the participating scientists, "Where do you get your news?" It's an open-ended question*, but the answers are almost always the same – they listen to NPR, read the New York Times, and watch the Daily Show. (*to clarify: asked in a confidential written survey)
Fair enough! NPR was the exclusive soundtrack to my years at the lab bench, what about you?

Blogging, science online, and ScienceOnline
"Find your voice, find your niche, find your community. And don't forget why you got started."
This powerful advice was the closing note of last week's ScienceOnlineSeattle event on science blogging.
ScienceOnlineSeattle is a monthly discussion series devoted to exploring all the ways in which the internet and social media are changing the nature of how we do and share science. February's session was devoted to the art of blogging, and I was thrilled to moderate an outstanding panel of science and environment bloggers featuring Alan Boyle of Cosmic Log, Brendan DeMelle of DeSmogBlog, Sandra Porter of DigitalBio, and Adrienne Roehrich of Double X Science. Together we explored the hows and whys of the work involved in maintaining a successful blog. The conversation began with introductions and getting to know the people behind the personas, moved into the craft and mechanics of blogging, and ended on big picture questions. We shared resources, named favorites in the blogosphere, and discussed the challenges and what ultimately keeps us going through the tough spots. But it wasn't just about the information the featured panelists had to share… [Read more...]
Tackling "Tweet This Maybe?": How-To & Resources
This post is a follow-up to Monday's story of how a single tweet can make a difference in the total audience of a blog post.
When I open Google and begin to type "How to promote yourself," the very first hit is: "How to promote yourself (without being sleazy)." My first page of results also includes "How to promote yourself without being a jerk," and, "How to promote yourself without talking about yourself." Suffice to say that if the prospect of having to work at getting your work seen and shared feels uncomfortable, you are in good company.
Most of us wish our work would be discovered and discussed by its own merits. Unfortunately, thanks to the pace and sheer volume of conversations online, that's not how it actually goes. So, you can keep wishing the world worked differently, or you can accept that, for most of us, the discomfort of self-promotion is the price of visibility. As I wrote on Monday: "It's better to think of this promotion as standing up for your ideas. Are they worth it? Then go to work for them."
So how do you do that, exactly? [Read more...]
"So Tweet This, Maybe?" – Promoting Your Work in Social Media
Some people are easier to ignore than others. At an animated 6'6", freelance writer Erik Vance is hard to miss in a crowd, and impossible to ignore when he's poking your shoulder at the AAAS meeting, asking why you haven't tweeted his latest story. My friend, you see, was finally ready to "get into this whole twitter thing."
The truth was, even though the Last Word on Nothing is a blog I love, and he's a writer I tend to follow, I hadn't read it. In fact, I didn't know the post existed. [Read more...]

The flight attendant just rather ominously announced that the third and final beverage service is underway, snapping me back to the reality of seat 27F. With an empty middle seat and strong wifi, I'd lost track of time, catching up on emails and keeping tabs on the conference I'd just left – the American Geophysical Union (AGU)'s annual fall meeting – still in full swing.

At COMPASS, we spend a lot of time thinking about mobilizing science and supporting culture change, and I think it helps to start by asking: what do I get out of this? How does it support or improve the hard work I already am doing?

Sussex Photos V2 - Website Category Type: E-Commerce
Local Sussex Photographer Scott Wright asked Dreamshock Design to help create the new version of his on line photography store.
Sussex Photos features galleries from both the area of Sussex, and also further afield during his travels abroad.
The system is a very fast dynamic way of selling his Landscape and Travel photography allowing instant previews of his work, as well as being able to preview all the images in frames and mounts.
The site has many backend features such as dynamic search notifications and order tracking & management allowing Scott to both add content to his site, and also manage sales and productivity.
This is the second release of the Sussex Photos website, with the first being launched October 2001.
