From Book to Board Game to Box Office: An Interview With 'The Game' Writer Neil Strauss
Features By David Christopher Bell on August 21, 2012 | Comments (1)You know what Dune, Starship Troopers, and Harry Potter have in common? They were all books that became games before they were movies. It happens more often than we realize, and it happens almost exclusively to sci-fi and fantasy. That's why Neil Strauss' undercover pick-up artist memoir "The Game" just might be the first of it's kind. Not long ago, fearless board game designer Adam Kornblum presented the best-selling author with a prototype for a party game based off of his book, the end result being "Who's Got Game." As something originally designed as a tool to meet other people, the game tied perfectly into the book's original themes. And while it's not unusual for a self-help book to transfer over into the board game genre, what's odd is that since this book is also soon to become a film starring James Franco – it just might be the first self-help book to become a game before a film.
James Franco In Talks to Star as Famous Pick-Up Artist (And General Skeeze) in 'The Game'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on January 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentOh, James Franco, you make the most fun decisions! According to THR, actor-author-writer-director-unsatisfied Oscar host-student-man about town-seeker-performance artist-soap star Franco is in negotiations to star in MGM's adaptation of Neil Strauss's The Game, a "part memoir, part how-to guide" on how to land chicks. Not content to stay in any sort of performance box at all, Franco won't be starring as the Strauss surrogate, but as Mystery. You know Mystery. Even if you don't know Mystery, you know Mystery. Mystery is better known as "The Pick-Up Artist," the self-declared title he uses to shill his lady-getting techniques, the very same that he taught Strauss on his mystical, magical journey to be a dude in demand. Mystery even had his own VH1 reality show! Called, you guessed it, The Pick-Up Artist! Oh, also, he's not attractive in the least and looks as if he shops almost exclusively at Spencer's Gifts. I know that men bemoan that they don't know what women want, but I can clearly declare, as a woman, I don't want Mystery. But what I may want is Franco in the role, because it sounds just a little bit too funny and too perfect.
Robert Downey Jr Might Star as Paranoid Survivalist for 'Emergency!'
In Development By Scott Beggs on October 20, 2010 | Be the First To CommentIt turns out that Due Date might be a test run for heading out into the wilderness with the threat of death (and an annoying asshole with a lap dog) around every corner. It will be great preparation for Robert Downey Jr who'll be producing an adaptation of the book "Emergency! This Book Will Save Your Life," and might end up taking the lead role. The book is the work of Neil Strauss (the same guy behind pick-up artist tome "The Game"), and it tells the story of a man who faces the same world we face today and decides the only real response to all the economic disaster, terrorism, and cultural upheaval is to become completely self-sufficient. It's written in the same style as "The Game," where Strauss does long-term investigative journalism in order to get himself ready for the worst. Based solely on the paranoia needed and the antics that might ensue, it sounds like a decent role for Downey Jr. Hopefully, Zach Galifianakis can cameo as a bearded lunatic.

Is Utah's Weber State University Using Questionable Academic/Ethical Standards?
The petition involves a method that Weber State University uses to determine the dates of graduation for students at their University.
And what is this method exactly?
1. Weber State University uses date of payment of tuition as the date of graduation. For example, if you pay your tuition in December 2013, for courses you completed in December 2012, Weber State University will record 2013, the date of payment as the date of graduation.
2. Weber State University uses any student's records to build another student's portfolio.
For example, if your name is George J, Weber State uses Jackie M's record to build your student portfolio.
3. Weber State University allow administrative delays to reflect otherwise non-existent delays on students progress reports. For example, you complete a course in January, 2012. Your professor reports your grades in July 2012. It turns out that the deadline for reporting the grades was some time in March 2012. Because of this error in reporting, Weber State university administration informs you that you did not complete the course on time even though the error was on the administrative side.
I have spoken with about ten students who have had similar issues about Weber State University academic standards and they felt unsafe to disclose their names in public but are willing to share their stories with governments agents.
I am willing to share in public and in any manner necessary any documents of my own that substantiate 3 elements outlined above.
In my view Weber State University policy is not only unethical but flawed and needs to change and remedial measures be put in place to reward ALL students who earned their credentials.
Please sign your name if you agree.

It's PlayStation Vita launch day in Japan. As we post this, our connection is picking up Vitas and memory cards for us. We've already got our shortlist of games secured and confirmed. And we're coming in over the weekend to shoot some special videos for you. So, as we wait for our man to pass through customs with the goods, we've decided to poll the GamesRadar office for what they're anticipating from this weekend's launch. Here's what we had to say:
Is it premature to say I'm anticipating falling in love with the Vita? Since my very first touch with this lovely piece of hardware when it was first unveiled in Japan many moons ago, I've been a believer. This is a gaming handheld that laughs in the face of portable trends: It's not a mobile phone offering stripped down minigames. And despite the multiple touch interfaces, it's not a gimmicky system. Instead, it offers console quality gaming perfect for an armchair or bedroom: that ultimate "locked-in" experience one can only get from a high-end handheld. As for the games, my personal killer app in the launch lineup is Sound Shapes, but I'm also looking forward to cross-play experiences with my PS3 as well as my next grand adventure with Nathan Drake in Uncharted: Golden Abyss. And with Trophy support, the Vita might finally get me to care about my Trophy ranking. I'm betting this'll quickly become my latest addiction: obsessively hunting for Trophies on the go.
I'm actually not that interested in the graphics. Sure, having what amounts to a PlayStation 3's worth of power in the palm of my hand is enticing, but the screen is still too small for me to care.
No, the thing that intrigues me is the multiple control mechanics, which could make for some of the most interesting gaming experiences yet. This thing has a gyroscope, a touch screen, two analog sticks, and a back touch screen? That's crazy. I can't wait for a game that uses all of them well. The best 3DS and Wii games were the ones that truly took full advantage of the control mechanisms, and I have a feeling we'll be able to say the same in a few years looking back at the Vita. Developers have new tools at their disposal, and seeing how they use them has me ready to drop my money on day one.
I'll admit that I wasn't super excited for the PS Vita initially because I had been neglecting my PSP and didn't want another portable device to carry around with me every day. It wasn't until I got my hands on the system when I realized just how much I wanted one. The OLED screen looks fantastic and with the ability to use apps like Skype, I may even consider getting rid of my phone. Ultimately, it all boils down to the games and I was thrilled to hear that one of my favorite Final Fantasy games (FFX) was getting a remake.
I've already played a handful of games with console counterparts such as LittleBigPlanet, Dynasty Warriors, Modnation Racers and Hot Shots Golf and I was impressed with how these titles looked on the 5-inch screen. None of these were ports though, but built from the ground up specifically for the Vita.
But what I'm really looking forward to is seeing what kind of original IPs developers will come up with. Sound Shapes is one of my most anticipated games on the system and I'm hoping that there will be other creative minds in the industry lined up to take advantage of the Vita's hardware.
Until 2008, the PSP was my Swiss Army gadget. It was my MP3 player, my gaming device, and thanks to the workarounds for video, I used it for watching TV shows when I was away from home. Years before smartphones became omnipresent, my PSP did the job for me. But in a post-iPhone and Android world, are the Vita's visuals going to be impressive enough to keep it in my bag nearly as much as the PSP?
I sense that, based on what I played at E3, the quality of games isn't much of an issue. So for me, the most intriguing element of the Vita is the operating system and how my PSN ID will interact with it. I loved my PSP, but I really wanted so much more out of it, and I thought that Sony wasn't nearly as quick to jump onboard with the sorts of tweaks that the platform needed. With a new machine and a much more proactive stance, I'm excited for how Sony will really tap into its potential.
So, yeah, it'll be nice to have my trophies for handheld games showing up on Facebook and all, but I really want to get in and toy with its capabilities and see the foundation for what the machine can be.
The tech power in the PS Vita is undeniably cool – not just the touchscreen and gyroscope we take for granted in smartphones – but also the sensor pad on the back of the system, face detection and head tracking through two separate cameras, augmented reality software and even GPS. Each of those magic tricks opens up a huge possibility for inventive game design, and combined? The imagination staggers.
But here's the question I'm anticipating an answer to: Will developers take advantage? We've seen some very impressive, quirky stuff from Sony at various preview events (Sound Shapes and Escape Plan come immediately to mind), but if the Vita is to avoid the malaise that eventually overtook much of the Wii and DS libraries (or even the original PSP), third-party companies will have to join the first-party developers in constantly pushing the envelope and surprising us with bold new experiences. If they can, this will be an amazing system. I can't wait to find out.
What are you hoping to see from the PlayStation Vita before it hits your shores? Also, don't forget to check back on Sunday (that's Pacific time) for updates as we start to jump in and get hands on with the new hardware!

Guns & Patriots
By: Richard L. Johnson
My Comments: I carry a .22 BUG, and I like it! Heck, I can duct tape it to my arm pit if I need to - just kidding. Seriously, depending on what you have to do and wear in your civilian work/business world, a compact rimfire .22 BUG is something some of you might want to consider. Am I going to take on a L.A. Gang with it? No! Am I going to rely on it when all else fails and things are hand to gland? Yes! Sometimes 'Smaller is Better'! Just sayin.........................
......Whats the fastest production rimfire cartridge on the planet? The new .17 Winchester Super Magnum (WSM). How fast is this new round? Try 3,000 fps!
......Until the 17 HMR came along about 11 years ago, the 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (aka 22 Magnum or 22 WMR) was king of the rimfires. While this straight-walled cartridge may seem somewhat pedestrian compared to the new, higher-velocity rimfires, it isnt ready for pasture quite yet.
In fact, the 22 Magnum has seen a lot of recent development in the self-defense market. The North American Arms (NAA) mini-revolvers in 22 Magnum have been a popular choice for many people looking for an ultra-concealable handgun. But, new options in guns and ammo have been developed in recent years.

America's power grid too vulnerable to cyberattack, US report finds
The utility industry and US regulators need to boost computer-security standards to fend off a cyberattack on the power grid, says a tough new report from the Energy Department.
Michael Interisano/Design Pics/Newscom
America's power grid remains vulnerable to cyberattack, a result of sluggish implementation of weak computer security standards and insufficient federal oversight, says a tough new report from the US Department of Energy Inspector General.
The North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC), the lead grid-reliability organization for the power industry, has had approved standards in place since January 2008. Power companies were to have fully implemented those "critical infrastructure protection" (CIP) cyberstandards a year ago, but the standards still aren't doing an effective job, the inspector general's audit found.
"Our testing revealed that such standards did not always include controls commonly recommended for protecting critical information systems," including tough password and log-in protections, the report said. The plodding implementation is "not adequate to ensure that systems-related risks to the Nation's power grid were mitigated or addressed in a timely manner."
Among its other findings are the following:
• The new CIP standards set weaker requirements for password and log-in protections than is common for other types of critical infrastructure.
• The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which approved the security standards that NERC developed, is partly to blame. The commission ultimately "did not have authority to implement its own reliability standards or mandatory alerts in response to emerging threats or vulnerabilities," the report said. In instances where FERC did have authority to strengthen CIP standards, "the commission had not always acted to ensure that cyber security standards were adequate."

Reimer Heating & Air Conditioning's insured technicians wear their credentials right on their uniforms. A "Technician Seal of Safety" patch ensures that each HVAC expert has passed a background check and trained extensively in the arts of heating and cooling. A "Green Screened" patch, meanwhile, reveals the company's dedication toward preserving the environment. Not only do the techs reuse and recycle as many service materials as possible, they also focus on energy efficiency. They design, engineer, and install HVAC systems that use as little electricity and genie wishes as possible. For older furnaces, they administer a Supertune calibration, which can increase efficiency and cut down on issues such as rusting and dust accumulation.
The certified technicians at Cleaning Specialists of WNY remove dust, dirt, and debris from homes and businesses seven days a week. As part of a comprehensive spread of services, they specialize in cleaning and waxing floors, clearing out construction sites, and keeping offices tidy—more than 50 businesses depend on them to steam clean carpets and vacuum ducts. The technicians regularly spruce up spaces with daily, weekly, monthly, and leap-yearly plans. They also offer cleaning services for dryer vents and furnaces.
Duct Busters of WNY tends to an oft-neglected area of homeowners' dwellings?their air ducts. Using a spinning brush system, the experienced technicians contact clean each duct to ensure they are in pristine condition. They polish off their work by applying blockers to prevent future antibacterial or mold outbreaks, for an additional fee.
It should come as no surprise that pizza is a specialty at JUST PIZZA & Wing Co. The restaurant's cooks infuse specialty crusts with sesame seeds, lemon pepper, and other seasonings, pile on fresh cheese and toppings such as sirloin steak and tiger shrimp, and even bake whole-wheat and gluten-free pies. But contrary to its name, JUST PIZZA & Wing Co.'s menu doesn't end there—non-doughy options include chicken wings in a variety of sauces. Patrons can even explore possible wine pairings on JUST PIZZA & Wing Co.'s website.

PGM Students Put To The Test By The PGA
- 7th International Vernon Smith Prize
- Music Industry Student Experiences Talent Buying in the Real World
- Graphic Design Alumnus, Craig Cockerill, Finds Success after Graduation
- Sixth Graders Experience Ferris for the First Time
- Studying in the Insurance and Risk Management Program
- Information Security and Intelligence Students Take 2nd Place at CCDC
- Graphic Design Students Attend SEEK Conference
- PTM Students Join Fed Cup Match as Official Stringers
This past weekend, the Professional Golfers' Association of America visited Ferris State for the PGA PGM Checkpoint.
Back in 1975, Ferris State was the first university to obtain accreditation from the PGA and provide the PGA Golf Management University Program in their curriculum. There are now currently 20 universities nationwide that are accredited by the PGA.
Professional Golf Management students are required to complete three levels of PGA checkpoints in order to graduate from the program. Each level covers a variety of topics that are essential in a PGM professional's career.
Level one, the most intense of all three levels, covers more content than any other level and is generally taken within the student's third year of the program. Some topics covered in level one include PGA Constitutional Bylaws & Regulations, Golf Club Design & Repair, Tournament Operations, and Career Enhancement. Each subject is presented in either a self-study course where students are given a manual or guide of some kind, or in a seminar format that is lead by a rising PGA professional in that field.
After completing level one, levels two and three are more accelerated because the content coverage isn't as extensive.
Congratulations to the 70 students that participated in the checkpoint and good luck with any remaining levels in the future!

You're no longer borrowing your friend's camping gear, you have the camping checklist on lock down and you even camp in remote areas without amenities on occasion. You know all about how to Leave No Trace, how to use a compass and what to pack for unpredictable weather. However confident you might be with your camping skills, there are always some tips, tricks and secrets that other campers have discovered along their journeys. Sharing is caring, so we gathered a whole bunch of tips of tricks from veteran campers from the office. Consider our ideas to enhance your camping experience!
Camping Tips
If you're last pair of socks is sopping wet from the day, sleep with them around your midsection. It will feel chilly and weird at first, but your body heat trapped by your sleeping bag will dry them by morning.
If you have any camping tricks you'd like to share with us, please fill out the form below! Thank you.
A few quick and easy tips will keep your camping gear orderly at the campsite and at home. Cooking outside, playing outside 24/7 and 'being on vacation' can lead to a disaster zone that will take the fun out of your camping experience. Read on for our top tips on how to organize your camping gear…
Who says it's time to sleep indoors when the snow falls? Certainly not the extreme outdoor enthusiasts. There are many special aspects of winter camping – the lack summer crowds, the quiet forest, no bugs, snuggling in when the sun sets early and appreciating everything Mother Nature has to offer. One of the most fun parts of winter camping is, of course, the food!
Like summer camping, the food can make or break the trip. Well thought out meals for a winter camping trip will quite literally warm your soul and keep you toasty, happy and satisfied. Since your body will be working hard to keep warm, it is recommended that each camper consume double the amount of calories normally consumed.
Despite what one might think, preparing a knock your socks off meal in the middle of the woods in the dead of winter is easier than one might think. One pot meals are ideal, so think curries, stews and soups. Prep as much as possible at home and place them in large zip lock baggies for each meal. Remember that fresh veggies will freeze and could get ruined on the trip, so opt for already frozen veggies.
A warm drink is a must for every meal, so bring plenty of hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee. Instant soups will also be welcomed on a winter camping trip, while a loaf of bread will fill a cold tummy. Macaroni and cheese, the ultimate comfort food, will turn any frown upside down on a winter camping trip. For breakfast, go big with oatmeal – add dried nuts, fruit, flaked coconut and brown sugar. And of course, don't forget trail mix, granola bars, PB&J, dried spices and some tequilla to add to hot cocoa!
Compile a few of your favorite one pot meal recipes. Keep it simple, but tasty. Use dried ingredients like mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and split peas where possible. Here's a handy winter camping food checklist that every winter camper should consider:
Instant oatmeal Instant coffe Tea Hot chocolate mix Electrolyte powder mix Granola bars Peanut butter and jelly Bagels Bread (for soup) Butter Spices Trail mix Jerky Macaroni and cheese Instant soup Individually wrapped cheese Instant rice Split peas Pre-cooked chicken breast Dried mushrooms Dried tomatoes Dried chili peppers Bouillon cube Powdered milk Brown sugar

Dining plan going to 2 credit restaurant
If you go are on the regular dining plan and go to a two credit restaurant do you still just get the entree and dessert or is an appetizer included
Just entree and dessert :( I know it stinks.
Yes, with the regular dining plan you will need to pay OOP for any appetizer you would want :thumbsup2
Regular dining plan, in most cases no appetizer is included regardless of the credit count.
It makes sense, if you think about it, since the credits themselves cost less on DDP than on the deluxe plan....

My favorite holiday has to be Christmas. Even when you take all the junk away from it, it is still a great holiday.
I play Combat Arms quite a bit and it's a very fun game.

Bangladesh has suggested greater political exchanges to close the gaps in this critical area, which led to India not being able to honour its commitments to a river water accord and land boundary realignment.
In the first high-level contact after the elections, Speaker of Bangladesh Parliament Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, at meetings with President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and her Indian counterpart Meira Kumar, highlighted people-to-people contact as the most important component of overall connectivity, according to Bangladesh High Commission officials
The Bangladesh Speaker underscored increased parliamentary cooperation, by making Parliaments act as catalyst institutions. She was keen on further activating the India-Bangladesh Parliamentary Friendship Group and enhancing interaction among Parliaments, proposed institutional mechanisms, such as a Parliamentary Joint Working Group, to deal with important issues and Standing Committee collaboration.
Mr. Mukherjee congratulated Dr. Chaudhury her on election as Speaker for the second consecutive time.
At her meeting with Dr. Singh, the Speaker raised the pending issues of the Land Boundary Agreement and the interim Agreement for Teesta Water Sharing. The Prime Minister reiterated his government's commitment to fulfil its obligations and assured her that it was trying its best for a broad-based political consensus.
Dr. Singh appreciated Bangladesh's assistance in security-related matters and the measures taken by Bangladesh for protection of minorities. He assured the Bangladeshi leader of India's sincerity in addressing the bilateral trade deficit and exploring the possibility of exporting additional power to Bangladesh, the officials said.

SAN DIEGO and ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Results from a study published by the University of Michigan have shown that as many as 15% of women in the study group determined to be negative for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the cervix, via the most commonly used test for HPV DNA, may actually be infected with the virus at clinically relevant viral loads. PCR-MS detected the presence of high-risk HPV in nearly half (46.7%) of women who tested negative by the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) test, which is standard of care in many countries. Approximately 9,000 American women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year despite regular cervical screening. The study, titled, Development and Evaluation of a PCR and Mass Spectroscopy-based (PCR-MS) Method for Quantitative, Type-specific Detection of Human Papillomavirus, will be published in the September 2009 edition of Journal of Virological Methods. The assay used in this study is exclusively licensed by SEQUENOM (Nasdaq: SQNM).

"We found that nearly half of the 75 women who had been called HPV-negative by the HC2 test had detectable levels of HPV DNA by the PCR-MS method," said Divya Patel, PhD, MPH, of the University of Michigan, one of the study investigators, and lead author of the recently published paper. "More importantly, because the PCR-MS method also measures the quantity of HPV relative to the number of human cells in the sample, or 'viral load,' we determined that about 15% of these samples had HPV loads comparable to the HPV loads found in women called HPV-positive by the HC2 test.

.- The spokesman for the Archdiocese of Mexico City, Father Hugo Valdemar, has refused to retract his statement that the city's mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, has done more harm to the Mexican capital than the drug cartels. The priest also claimed that the lawsuit Ebrard filed against him is evidence of the mayor's "fascist" actions.
In an interview with the Archdiocese of Mexico City's news service, Fr. Valdemar said the law on abortion in the Mexican capital, supported by Ebrard and passed by the Legislative Assembly in 2007, is a sign of the harm he has caused the city.
"Ever since the criminal law on abortion was passed," more than 42,000 innocent human beings have been killed in Mexico City, he said. "This is double the number that have died in the war against the drug cartels, and yet these crimes are even worse, because the children killed are unable to defend themselves."
Fr. Valdemar said the lawsuit filed against him by Ebrard has revealed the mayor's true nature as an "intolerant governor with great hatred for the Catholic Church, her pastors" and that he is "consumed by vengeance."
On Wednesday, the mayor filed a defamation lawsuit against Fr. Valdemar as well as Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez for accusing Ebrard of bribing the country's Supreme Court justices to allow the adoption of children by same-sex couples.
Fr. Valdemar added that Catholics in Mexico City are enduring a sophisticated religious persecution that is aimed at repressing freedom of expression. "Ebrard has made public his fascist style of governing and his undeniable desire to persecute the Catholic Church," the priest said, underscoring that the governor is acting like another "Francisco Franco or Augusto Pinochet."

REPORT: Kanye West Planning to Propose
By GalTime .com
According to a source close to Kanye, the rapper is planning to propose to girlfriend Kim Kardashian as soon as her divorce from Kris Humphries is finalized.
The insider says Kanye asked a private jeweler to make an engagement ring out of diamonds and rubies from his late mom Donda's personal jewelry collection:
"Kanye picked out some of Donda's most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring. He then gave them to a private jeweler friend to make Kim a one-of-a-kind engagment ring."
Donda was a big part of his life, and Kanye reportedly respects and loves Kim just as much as his mother.
His close friends may not agree, though:
"His friends think it's a terrible idea and are advising him not to give Kim the ring. Because it's a gift, it would be difficult for Kanye to ask for it back if they ever split up. They've also reminded him that Kim is not somebody who works hard for her money. She makes millions doing reality shows and selling her image, and Donda's jewelry shouldn't be part of that image."
As for where he'd like to wed, Kanye is said to be eyeing Chicago or Oklahoma.

It's time to take a step back.
Is it possible that amidst the deafening uproar over the DOJ's suit – the protestations, the criticism, the comparisons – we're missing the point? That, as much as book lovers love to hate Amazon, the online bookseller – and the Justice Department – may be actually be in the right?
That's what Thomas Catan argues in a lucid, cogent must-read in the Wall Street Journal titled "Experts Say Government Had Little Choice in E-Books Lawsuit."
At the root of this criticism is a misperception of the antitrust law, writes Catan.
"U.S. antitrust law doesn't seek to protect little companies against big ones, or even struggling ones against successful ones. Companies can grow as large as they want, as long as they do it through lower prices, better service or niftier innovations. Companies can even become monopolies, as long as they don't get there illegally or try to extend their power by unlawfully stifling competition."
In other words, just because Amazon dominates the book market and drives smaller competitors out of business through its low prices and convenience doesn't make its actions illegal.
(As Herbert Hovenkamp, a law professor at the University of Iowa, told the Journal, "The goal of antitrust policy is to protect consumer prices. It's not to protect inefficient firms from having to exit the market.")
What's more, writes the Journal, "antitrust lawyers scoff at the notion that the Justice Department would refrain from bringing a case if it believes it has solid evidence."

I was told by my garden center to start the bulbs indoors. can someone tell me what conditions they need, heat, light????
hold long should they take to sprout....thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted my begonia two weeks ago and they are now popping their heads out of the surface --up about 1/2". When planted, their tops are placed just under the surface--barely. When they first begin to show, you'll notice what looks like a bit of fuzz at the surface. That's them. So don't brush that away. Mine are enjoying an eastern light--the cool morning light that I have to use---the only other light is a western exposure that currently has my Christmas Cactus and is fostering its bloom. Since they will not go out of doors until well into May/June, they have plenty of time to promote themselves. The first watering is to drainage and the excess in the saucer is dumped. Thereafter, I keep the surface damp---but not soggy. We don't want to rot the bulb. Many begonia and bulbs of their ilk, start out life ontop of the refrigerator. The heat there is just right to prompt early growth. In the fall, let them be touched by frost which will wilt their leaves. That's your cue to lift them, brush the soil off, put them in the garage or shed for a day or so to dry, then store them in a cool, dry, dark location where they sit idle until ---well, until about mid March when we wish them to grow. If you have geraniums--pelargonium that is, the same storage is given them and they too can be brought out at the same time to start life anew. They are just not allowed frost before storage. I have had good luck with them in a 25% peat moss/potting soil mix. The peat moss holds moisture without going overboard on their watering. |

Lead the way Mik
What does it cost?
I have heard so many explanations about how the ballot initiatives are going to be just awful for El Dorado County and how they just might be tolerable. One of the ways to test these issues is to obtain a financial analysis of the impacts of these initiatives; and our Board of Supervisors should get this job done and done now.
Ron Mikulaco should lead this effort as the greatest impact of the initiatives will fall on El Dorado Hills, and we need to know. Refusing to lead this effort would be very bad for all the citizens of the Western Slope. Dig in Mr. Supervisor and get this job done.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics
About Low Income Taxpayer Clinics
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) represent low income individuals in disputes with the Internal Revenue Service, including audits, appeals, collection matters, and federal tax litigation. LITCs can also help taxpayers respond to IRS notices and correct account problems. Some LITCs provide education for low income taxpayers and taxpayers who speak English as a second language (ESL) about their taxpayer rights and responsibilities.
LITC services are free or low cost for eligible taxpayers. LITCs are independent from the IRS but receive some of their funding from the IRS through the LITC grant program. Each clinic determines whether prospective clients meet income guidelines and other criteria before agreeing to represent them.
Find a clinic near you on the LITC Map or IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This publication is also available by calling 1-800-829-3676 or at your local IRS office.
LITC Grant Application
The IRS provides matching grants of up to $100,000 per year to develop, expand or continue the operation of a qualified LITC. LITCs are operated by legal aid and legal services organizations, clinical programs at accredited law, business or accounting schools, and other non-profit organizations that serve low income individuals and families.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Program Reports on Activities
The LITC Program, administered by TAS, has issued a 2014 Program Report. The report summarizes how clinics assist thousands of low income taxpayers through pro bono representation, education and advocacy efforts.

Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Not very funny, not very original.
I like the pokes at American Idol, I liked the starting joke. I didn't like your animation style being a rip off of a crappy animation style, just when I thought it couldn't get worse. Everyone was annoying, so my final rating is an honest 3. Sorry you deserve no more for that.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This was pretty cute!
I liked it a lot. the style was simple but did the job. Visually it was really stylish, nice pikcing of the colors rght here.
There isnt really a lot of "animation" its more like an animatic but Its still enjoyable, that chello guy has the funniest face Ive ever seen.
Overall it was phun phun. It had a few bugs when I saw it on the portal but Im sure it is either sorted out by now or you are working on it was I type.
My only sugestion would be to check the quality on EVERY picture next time. probably try more gif images? lol.
good luck
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
the start was funny
but then i got bored
i liked it it made my sphincor clench
Rated 0 / 5 stars
ridiculously bad. bad voice acting, bad rip off of tom goes to the mayor, and horrible humor.

Iron Chef Café uses the heat of the wok, grill, and frying pan to creatively fuse the diverse flavors of traditional Asian cuisines. The menu is peppered with dishes made with the freshest possible ingredients, never with added MSG. Start with an order of crispy Asian lettuce wraps with chicken ($6.29) or shrimp ($7.49) or a plate of crab wontons ($3.95/four), and cleanse your palate with a warm bowl of egg-flower soup ($2.29/small). Specialty dishes from the Japanese grill, served with your choice of brown or white rice, satisfy savory seekers with teriyaki and hula bowls topped with chicken, steak, shrimp, or tofu ($5.49–$7.29) and mixed tempura ($6.79). Meanwhile, a wide variety of fresh wok bites delights with classic stir fries including crispy orange-peel chicken ($7.25), Thai-basil tofu ($6.69), and Mongolian beef ($7.95). For lighter fare, throw back a few fresh sushi rolls ($3.99–$7.49), or indulge in an Iron Chef signature dish such as the honey-walnut shrimp ($9.95) or spicy eggplant ($7.45), both served with brown or white rice. The café also offers a selection of low-carb and dim-sum bites.
The Far East and the Southwest converge behind the glass walls of Dragon Loco Chinese Food, where inventive cooks fuse traditional Chinese and Mexican flavors. The menu teems with tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, which can be stuffed with globally inspired fillings such as carne asada, spicy orange chicken, and Chinese barbecued pork. The burrito loco, a house specialty, pairs bacon's salty crunch with grilled onions as hot and sweet as a greeting card from the equator. In addition to preparing in-house meals, the kitchen caters parties and meetings with trays of hearty tacos.
At Golden China Restaurant, the chefs manage to fit seemingly hundreds of Mandarin, Cantonese, and Szechuan dishes on one menu. Of their 20 specialty items, highlights include the pan-seared sea bass with ginger sauce and the shrimp and walnuts glazed with honey sauce. Other eats include steamed dumplings, chop suey, fried rice, and mushu, which are pancakes filled with stir-fried green onions, bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs, and meat, veggies, or tofu.
The decor of Habiba Abdi's restaurant, Gendershe Cuisine, is not ostentatious—she tries to impress the four senses besides sight. The aroma of all-halal meats marinating in signature spices tints the air, heralding Somali entrees such as the hilib ari, a goat dish that OC Weekly deemed "gamy and glorious." Mango lassis cool the tongue with a mix of almond milk, fruit pulp, orange juice, and vanilla. Pieces of bur—somali fry bread baked onsite—engage the hands, encouraging patrons to soak up lingering sauces with their dough instead of a friend's shirtsleeve. All the while, guests absorb the sizzling sounds of salmon and tilapia being sautéed in the kitchen's special "mother sauce."
Named after the Somalian city where Abdi's father grew up, Gendershe Cuisine is an outpost of a kind of cooking rarely found in the United States, much less Orange County. Even so, Somalia's rich culinary tradition—influenced over the years by Italy, India, and surrounding East African cultures—means that many dishes may look familiar even to the uninitiated. Crispy, triangular sambusas are relatives to indian samosas, ethiopian injera pops up beneath stews of beef, chicken, goat, or fish, and spaghetti and lasagna lie under sauces subtly spiked with Somali herbs and spices.
Pan of Asia introduces the vibrant colors and intense flavors of beloved dishes from across China and Southeast Asia. Like the cafeteria at the United Nations, Pan of Asia's menu spans a continent's worth of delicacies, from spicy-sweet Thai basil with tender morsels of tofu and chicken, to exotic Malaysian curries, to several crowd-pleasing Chinese dishes. Guests can sink their teeth into salt and pepper shrimp, citrus fried chicken, or spicy garlic eggplant. And for dessert, Pan of Asia finishes meals with green-tea or mango ice, or sweet dim sum.


text: So this has been a big problem for me the last couple of weeks. Let me give you the background... last month my boyfriend and I had a broken condom incident, we didn't want to take any chances, so I took Plan B. It worked, I got my period a little late, but it came. I'm still waiting for my period this month and while I can't think of a reason I would be pregnant, it was the first thing that came to mind when I was late. I took a pregnancy test a few days ago (when I was already a week late) and it came up negative. I've heard that Plan B can mess up your cycle for a while after you take it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I take another pregnancy test? See a doctor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Insurance Sector Reform
The government's policies since July 2004 have been to develop and reform the financial sector; regulate markets and upgrade their organizational and legislative structures, strengthen capital structures of financial institutions and protect investors' rights. The non-bank financial sector reform program consists of two phases; the first phase (2005-2008) and the second phase (2009-2012). The first phase aimed at building financial institutions, ensuring they are soundly structured and subjugated to strict supervision in order to enhance the financial sector's efficiency and ensure its stability and liquidity. As for the insurance sector, this phase aimed at re-structuring the insurance companies by adopting a set of goals as follows:
First: Restructuring State-held Insurance Companies.
This goal was achieved by:
• Establishing the Insurance Holding Company.
• Merging public insurance companies.
• Establishing Misr Real Estate Asset Management Company.
• Injecting new bloods to achieve efficiency of management.
Second: Strengthening Legislative Structure of the Insurance Sector.
This goal was achieved by:
• Implementing the approach of supervision on the basis of risk assessment and management and rules of financial adequacy of institutions operating in the market.
• Supporting financial and administrative independence of the regulatory authority.
• Enhancing the role of the Insurance Federation and making its membership obligatory for insurance companies and associations.
• Achieving specialty of insurance activity by separating life insurance from property insurance.
• Re-organizing the insurance brokerage profession, allowing legal entities to perform this activity and training brokerage staff.
• Increasing minimum issued capital to LE 60 million for life insurance companies and LE 60 million for general insurance companies and adjusting existing companies' situations within five years.
Third: Increasing the Sector's Contribution to Economic Activity:
This goal was achieved by:
• Reducing the cost of transactions and developing valuation and pricing mechanisms of insurance services.
• Developing the accounting framework of insurance activity in line with international standards.
• Developing rules and procedures regulating different insurance services.
The second phase of the financial reform program (2009-2012) will adopt the following components to develop and reform the insurance sector:
1. Focus on insurance of SMEs and micro insurance in co-operation with expert institutions, benefiting from experiences of large companies and other countries including Singapore, S.Korea, Brazil and Malaysia.
2. New legislation to be developed in the insurance sector; including the issuance of private and optional pension funds law and medical care companies' law, finalizing a policyholders' protection fund, while issuing legislation and standards necessary for performing micro insurance.
3. The General Authority for Financial Supervision, which started its mission in July 2009. It was established to enhance supervision of non-bank financial institutions, including insurance companies, develop regulatory coordination and increase efficiency.
4. Developing rules of supervision on insurance companies operating in the Egyptian market as well as insurance funds by adopting approaches of risk assessment and implementing regulatory procedures and standards accurately.
5. Implementing rules of increasing competition among existing institutions, to be ensured by the General Authority for Financial Supervision.
6.

Not what you are thinking! :D
1,700 animals found in trunk of car!
A motorist is to be questioned by police after 1,700 animals were found crammed in the trunk of his car in Bari, Italy.
Police had pulled the car over for a routine inspection when they discovered 216 parakeets, 300 white mice, 150 hamsters, 30 Japanese squirrels, six chameleons, and more than 1,000 terrapins, a type of turtle.
All the animals were confiscated and passed to nearby zoos while police investigate the driver's links to rare and protected animal smuggling.
Police say the man planned on selling the terrapins for 20 euros each and one officer says "there is no doubt these poor animals were suffering."
