Do You Believe In Something?
We might not believe in unicorns or sparkling vampires, but we do believe in house musician Jonathan Coulton. He's rewritten the lyrics to the Lovin' Spoonful song, "Do You Believe in Magic?" to be about creatures of the supernatural and fantastical variety. (However: Nessie, we know you're out there.)

So let's welcome our next two contestants: Tracey Rhys and Stewart Shutler.
EISENBERG: Wonderful to have you here. Stewart, you are from Canada?
STEWART SHUTLER: Yes.
EISENBERG: Making us basically from the same family.
SHUTLER: Pretty much. Sure.
EISENBERG: You're in Hamilton; is that correct?
SHUTLER: Yes. That's right. Close to Toronto.1
EISENBERG: OK. Let me ask you this. What's the difference between a Trekker and a Trekkie?
SHUTLER: I would say Trekkies are way more obsessed. Trekkers are like casual fans.
EISENBERG: And which one are you?
SHUTLER: Yes.
EISENBERG: How do you feel about the new version of "Star Trek"?
SHUTLER: I liked it. I was actually kind of pleasantly surprised.
EISENBERG: Pleasantly surprised. Yeah. I like you. You're very even keeled. Canadian. I like it. I like it.
EISENBERG: Tracey, are you a "Star Trek" fan of any?
TRACEY RHYS: I was a crazy Trekkie when I was growing up.
EISENBERG: You were the obsessive kind.
RHYS: Yeah. Yeah. I went to a convention in Salt Lake City, even. Twice. So.
EISENBERG: Was that your favorite television show?
RHYS: Oh, no. That would have to be "The X-Files."
EISENBERG: Oh, "The X-Files." Oh, yeah. I see. I see what we've got up here. Jonathan Coulton, what are we doing to these people?
JONATHAN COULTON: Well, this...
COULTON: With these people.
EISENBERG: Yeah, to them.
COULTON: With these people.
EISENBERG: Oh, I'm sorry. With them.
COULTON: This game is based on the Lovin' Spoonful song "Do You Believe In Magic?" We have rewritten the lyrics to be about supernatural or fictional things that some people believe in. So ring in when you know what that thing is. As always, the winner will move on to our Ask Me One More final round at the end of the show.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in this thing? Because you look awfully pale. Your teeth are all pointy. There's a bloody trail. Listen, buddy, stay away from my throat. A stake in my hand is something you should note.
COULTON: Tracey.
RHYS: (singing) Vampires.
COULTON: Vampires. That's right.
EISENBERG: I like the singing. I'm not going to lie. If you want to sing your answers, Stewart, that is highly acceptable.
SHUTLER: I will.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in this thing? How did you get here? Did you swing from a peak like a chandelier? Do you think? Does it sound absurd that you were given to your family by a giant bird?
COULTON: Yes. Tracey.
RHYS: Do you believe in stork babies?
COULTON: We would just accept stork. That's fine. I see what you're saying. Some babies come from a stork and some from other places, I guess.
EISENBERG: That's right. But I've actually never thought - what brings a stork its baby? That is a really intense question.
COULTON: Just a smaller stork, I think.
EISENBERG: It's just a series of storks within storks? Creepy.
COULTON: Yeah. Storks all the way down.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in these guys with their pots of gold? They could grant you three wishes in the days of old. Oh, but these days these little green-clad fellows are selling cereal with clover-shaped marshmallows.
SHUTLER: Leprechauns.
COULTON: Leprechauns is right.
EISENBERG: Leprechauns are not recession-proof. Do you understand me?
COULTON: That's right. They're entitled.
EISENBERG: That's right.
COULTON: They're entitled to get whatever job they can get.
EISENBERG: They've had a hard time.
COULTON: Just talking cereal. That's fine. I'm not going to judge them.
EISENBERG: Pots of gold are gone.
COULTON: That's right. There's no more gold. I'm glad that people don't get their news from this show.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in this thing? Did you hear that sound? I can't get to sleep because someone's walking around. I can't see him. But I know he's here. He's rattling his chains and stirring up some fear.
COULTON: Stewart.
SHUTLER: The boogeyman.
COULTON: Ah.
ART CHUNG: I don't think boogeymen carry chains.
SHUTLER: Mine did.
EISENBERG: Yeah. They do. Canadian ones, I think do.
CHUNG: I don't think we can accept that. Sorry.
COULTON: Tracey, do you want to steal?
RHYS: I would love to steal.
COULTON: Yeah.
RHYS: I think that's ghosts.
COULTON: Ghosts. Yes. I'm so amazed that you were so sure that boogeymen don't carry chains. I don't want to undermine you.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in this thing? Did you know I would ask? Knowing what I'm thinking is no small task. Dionne Warwick and her network knew if you paid by the minute they were there for you.
COULTON: Stewart?
SHUTLER: Psychics.
COULTON: Psychics is right.
COULTON: Here's your final question.
COULTON: (singing) Do you believe in these things? Gentle, pure, and white. In Renaissance tapestries they reach their height. You could catch one but only if you're a virgin. Or you could just create one with a horse and a surgeon.
COULTON: Yes. Tracey.
RHYS: Unicorns.
COULTON: Unicorns. That's right.
COULTON: Please, nobody at home try to create a unicorn with a horse and a surgeon. That would not be right.
EISENBERG: Oh. I didn't know that thing about virgins.
COULTON: Yeah. No, it's true.
EISENBERG: Yeah. You can't be all sullied or whatever to get a unicorn.
COULTON: They're very picky. Unicorns are very picky.
EISENBERG: They're very picky.
COULTON: So, Art, that was the last clue. How'd we do over here?
CHUNG: That was a close one but I believe Tracey is our winner.
EISENBERG: Congratulations, Tracey.
EISENBERG: Stewart, our Canadian friend. Give him a huge round of applause. Tracey, you'll be moving on to our Ask Me One More final round.

the title given to Mishael, one of the three Hebrew youths who were under training at the Babylonian court for the rank of Magi ( Daniel 1:7 ; 2:49 ; 3:12-30 ). This was probably the name of some Chaldean god.
that draws with force
(guest of a king ), the name given to Mishael, one of the companions of Daniel, who with three others was taught, ( Daniel 1:4 ) and qualified to "stand before" King Nebuchadnezzar, ( Daniel 1:5 ) as his personal attendants and advisers. ( Daniel 1:20 ) But notwithstanding their Chaldeans education, these three young Hebrews were strongly attached to the religion of their fathers; and their refusal to join in the worship of the image on the plain of Dura gave a handle of accusation to the Chaldeans. The rage of the king, the swift sentence of condemnation passed upon the three offenders, their miraculous preservation from the fiery furnace heated seven times hotter than usual, the kings acknowledgement of the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, with their restoration to office, are written in the third chapter of Daniel, and there the history leaves them.
me'-shak (meshakh):
Possibly the Sumerian form of the Babylonian Cil-Asharidu, "the shadow of the prince," just as Shadrach probably means "the servant of Sin," and Abednego the "servant of Ishtar." Meshach was one of the three Hebrew companions of Daniel, whose history is given in the first chapters of the Book of Daniel.

text: The facts are that the environment was contained, it was a stand off with very trained police (supposedly) and child that had emotional problems (more likely bullies that are supported by mean ass teachers). The kid made a mistake, but it was an immature mistake that could have caused damage, but it did not. The situation was contained and when the police were in that position they used deadly force to submiss and be heroes. I disagree.

Nocturnal Design Electronic Rock Video by Rybird
The full moon, in all it's brightness allowed people to see at night. The harvest moon was especially important as it allowed people to extend their harvesting into the night. At other times it allowed for night hunting and other activity. Through the generations people adjusted their lifestyles partially around the moon, becoming instinctively more energetic during the time of this lunar cycle. It was only recently that artificial light paved the way for further activity at night. And mankind wasted no time taking opportunity of this. The cars, the cities, even the homes are alive at night, the lines between darkness and light blurred, as people designed their new lifestyles around this new ability to see at night. It is a nocturnal design of sorts, for many people night has become day and day night, the world twinkling with lights. The instinctive energy of the full moon is still present though, yet diluted by our artificial world we have designed. It is almost as if we are afraid of the dark. Rybird

This product has been discontinued
Lippie off because I wish the pot had a bigger mouth just in the event I'd opt to use a 187 or similar to pick up the product. I'm not too keen on sticking my fingers in the pot and applying with fingers.
This is my first cream blush, and I'll admit, I was deathly afraid of not being able to apply it well.. Luckily this product is so easy to use that I now want to try other shades!!!
This is an ok blush. I like the fact that it blends well and also so pigmented. I wish they had more colors to choose from. It also is too pricey, but it worth the price.
I have never really used a drugstore blush but I think this one is lovely. I love the mousse texture and the color is so sweet. I did not find that it was too glittery or sparkly. Just lovely.
over-all, i REALLY like this product, it glides on good, and stays on all day. but i dont really like is how there's glitters. and you can over-do it cz its a dark color- but yeah. still good !
Love, love, love it!! I'm not much of a blush person, but this really is a great blush, at least for me. It feels very light, but it gives a fair amount of color & looks glowy, radiant, & gorgeous. I put it on the apples of my cheeks & sculpt my cheekbones w. bronzer underneath, & the blush gives just the right amount of pop & glimmer. Definitely a keeper. And you don't even need to use much!
EDIT: Hmm . . . this may be a little too sparkly/glittery for me. It's very obvious, especially in sunlight & in overhead lighting . . .
awesome blush. got it from Rite Aid on a BOGO sale. I am a blush junkie and most of my blushes are MAC and NARS. This was just an experiment. I am very happy with this blush and wud but it even if it was the same price as the high end blushes.Looks good in almost all skin tones, it is shimmery and glittery though for the people that prefer matte finish. It's not too pink, just a hint of rosewhich makes it good for everyday wear.
I like this product as a blush base .. its soft and gives a good colour pay off . its a lil glittery which gives a glow to my cheeks.
I love this product it gives the right amount of flush on my cheeks. It is SUPER EASY to apply. You don't need to apply with a brush. There is the right amount of gold glitter in this product. The mousse blush is also silky soft on my skin.

I'm sorry to be a downer, but my experience with this blush wasn't as great as that of other reviewers. The color is much too sheer and doesn't show up on my cheeks at all. It does, however, work well as a base for powder blushes. I usually wear this underneath my Covergirl Cheekers blush, and it just about doubles the wear of the Covergirl stuff. It also works well, I find, as an eyeshadow base. Before burning a hole in my pocket and buying my UDPP, I used this as my primer, and it worked quite nicely. Not as good as UDPP, but definitely better than L'Oreal De-Crease base or any other lower-end primer I've tried. For this reason, I'm giving this product 3 lippies instead of the 2 it deserves for being a merely mediocre mousse blush.
This blush has pretty good staying power, is easy to apply, and I like the color. But what is up with all the sparkles??? It is full of gold sparkles, which make their way to my hands, clothes, and who knows where else as the day progresses. Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy but I don't really care for a sparkle face at work. I'll use this pot up (mainly because it won't take long, there's not much in there) but I won't get it again.

Instead, it's decided he'll bottle up his emotions and bury his feelings.
Old Spock's ship is not a time machine, it just carries the Red Matter weapon. The time travel in the movie was completely unexpected and uncontrolled. Nero and Spock fell into the same black hole seconds apart in the future, yet emerged 25 years apart and in different locations in the past.
Remember that in prior Star Treks, they've been able to time travel by warping around a star (STIV), modifying a deflector dish (ST: FC) or even in one DS9 episode by using the transporter - yet these things are never brought up as a means to fix anything that goes disasterously wrong. When the Federation was about to lose the Dominion war, no one mentioned going back to undo "Emissary" and warning everyone.
So yeah, there's an Imponderables clip in it, but it'd be one covering the entire Trek franchise.

Well there's the one I calculated from my entire credit history and then there is Equifax's version which calculates only the current accounts and the closed ones from the past 6 years. The difference is phenomenal - 10 years to be exact! Equifax's is the one the my score is calculated on, mine is... well... just for my own reckoning.
I did some checking on another website and the graphs that a user posted suggests that there is a diminishing boost to your score on the 1st, 2nd and 5th years of your AAoA and perhaps even a very slight boost at the 10th year. [I can't post the website, graph or user because apparently that site has been banned from MyFico.] If that is the case I should see a slight score bump (1-2 pts) when my AAofA from Equifax reaches the 5th year later in October.
You could be absolutely right, because I just got a score bump of 1 point to 675 - it would EXACTLY co-incide with the date of my original auto loan.
Let see.. my oldest account is from 1999 so that's 15 years.
Just to be clear -- it is when your AAoA hits the 1, 2, 5, 10, 15 year milestones that you MAY see a increase in your credit score -- not the age of a single debt or of your oldest debt.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.

Really is a digital television channel broadcasting in the United Kingdom as part of the UKTV family of channels. The channel launched on 19 May 2009 as the UKTV's channel for female lifestyle programming and is available on satellite through Sky, cable services through Virgin Media also on digital terrestrial provider Freeview.
The channel was launched on 19 May 2009 as part of the major rebranding and repositioning of the UKTV network. The new channel was created to provide female programming on the UKTV network, by airing programming previously aired on UKTV Style. As part of the repositioning of UKTV Style to Home, this channel would focus primarily on home and garden programming. As part of this, UKTV Gardens was closed, with programmes merged with Home. The new channel Really would launch from UKTV Gardens' broadcast slot and would replace the channel on that service. Responsible for launching Really would be the channel head: Clare Laycock since July 2008.[1] The channel was originally available only on satellite and cable services, however on 14 June 2011, UKTV announced that Really would launch on Freeview channel 20 on 2 August 2011.[2]
Really's identity originally centred on a pop art style cartoon of women in various situations which as the ident goes on resolves itself into an unusual outcome. At this outcome, the characters are shown with speech bubbles containing the Really logo, which then forms into the centre of the screen.[3] Really used a generic promotion layout, consisting of the logo starting off the promotion before being located in the bottom right corner of the screen throughout before forming in the centre of the screen, alongside one of the ident characters, at the end.[4]
Really received a new look on 15 May 2013, created by Red Bee Media, along with a new slogan 'Really gets you'.[5]
The majority of Really's programmes come from the programme archives of the BBC, through their part ownership of the UKTV network. Due to a similar remit between the two channels, Really re-broadcasts many programmes previously shown on the channel BBC Three.

How does the electrical license renewal process work in Texas? In order to RENEW a Texas State electrical license, you must; --- {You should ALWAYS renew your license BEFORE it expires! It is illegal to perform electrical work (requiring a license) if your license is expired!} - - 1. Each year, you must obtain the required Continuing Education. (See Sec. 1305.168. Continuing Education.) ----You can obtain all of your required Continuing Education HERE by purchasing a course from us, and then completing it. - - 2. We will notify the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that you have obtained the required Continuing - - - Education.
We offer the required continuing education online, right now.... Right HERE
NEW LAW: Continuing education is required for renewing electrical apprentice licenses if the licensee is not enrolled in an approved apprenticeship training program. The change in law applies to the renewal of a license that expires on or after September 1, 2010. This amendment does NOT apply to electrical sign apprentices.
UPDATE: Sign apprentices renewing their licenses on or after September 1, 2012 must have either continuing education or apprenticeship training program hours for license renewal.
You must obtain the required continuing education before license renewal (except for contractors, and Residential Appliance installers). You should complete continuing education BEFORE your license expires (you can do this at anytime during the year preceding your license expiration, so do it early), and renew your license BEFORE it expires.
---3. You must then contact the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to renew your license. -- - -- The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, is the ONLY agency that can renew your state electrical license!
Can I renew my Texas Electricians license online? Yes! Provided you have met all of the state requirements, you will be able renew your electrician license online by clicking HERE. It is illegal to work with an expired license, and can become VERY costly if you are caught performing non-exempt electrical work. An expired license will cost you 1 & 1/2 times the normal license renewal fee if it has been expired for less than 90 days, and it will cost you 2 times the normal license renewal fee if expired more than 90 days but less than 18 months.
You may be subject to enforcement actions, including administrative penalties and sanctions, for operating with an expired license (expired less than 18 months) or operating without a license (expired 18 months or more).
If your license has been expired for more than 18 months but less than three years, you may submit a "Request to Executive Director for Expired License Renewal" form with the required renewal fee.
If your license has been expired for more than three years you may not renew your license. You must apply for a new license.
You gain nothing by allowing your license to expire, but risk very high fines, and/or possible imposition of administrative penalties by the state.

Will Guatemala's new adoption rule stop exploitation or result in more orphans?
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala — When the adoption business was booming here, American couples came by the thousands.
They flocked to the dozens of privately run children's homes or to lawyers' offices to adopt Guatemalan babies. They paid upward of $30,000, fueling an industry worth more than $100 million annually by conservative estimates. They stayed in towering city hotels that dedicated entire floors to adoptive parents and they rented rooms stocked with diapers and baby creams.
At the height of the trade, 4,728 children — or one in every 100 live Guatemalan births — were bound for a foreign country and a new family. Guatemala was the world's largest per capita source of adoptions and second in total numbers only to China, a vastly more populated country.
It all came to a screeching halt in the final days of 2007 when the government took control of the system from the lawyers and adoption agencies that had run it. They imposed a two-year moratorium on international adoptions and promised to investigate the allegedly widespread baby thefts and coercion of birth mothers.
Two years later, the country is set to re-open the doors to international adoptions, but government officials vow it will look nothing like it used to. Instead of nearly 5,000 children a year being sent to foreign couples, some 150 will be available. They won't be the healthy infants of years past. They will be older children or those with disabilities. And it won't cost $30,000 or anything near it. Although they've not officially decided, officials say the process could be free.
Once the shame of the adoption trade, Guatemala is now being lauded as a potential model for other Latin American countries. But prospective parents aren't always happy that their options for adoption have diminished. There are 900 families, many from the U.S., who were promised children under Guatemala's old system and have spent two years in limbo waiting to see if the adoptions will ever be cleared.
"We were a baby factory," said Marilys Barrientos de Estrada, a director of the governmental agency created to oversee the process. "That's how the international community saw us and that's what we were. For a price, you could get a very, very young baby, younger than almost anywhere else in the world, and take that baby home in a few months, more quickly than most places."
Human rights groups decried the Guatemalan process as one of the world's worst examples of the adoption business gone haywire. A few birth mothers had reported their children stolen or being tricked into signing away their babies. In July, 2008, Ana Escobar, a resident of a poor Guatemala City neighborhood, was reunited with her daughter a year after she reported the baby stolen. DNA testing proved the child, Esther, was living with a family in the U.S. After years of ugly rumor, it was the first proven case and officials hailed it as justification for their reforms.
Now those same international observers who'd criticized the former system are throwing their support behind the country.
"What Guatemala has done has been a huge success," said Justo Solorzano, a child protection with UNICEF in Guatemala. "It broke the cycle of corruption. It stopped the violation of human rights."

Your cart is empty!
This product is amazing! I suffer from cold sores about every 3 months and I've tried everything on the market. I applied on my lip as soon as I started feeling the tingling and swelling start. It stopped it from festering into a large sore and was gone in about 2 days. No one at work even noticed I had the fever blister!

Happy Thanksgiving guys. I was researching this con thing and getting varying information. I had a few more questions I hope you can answer. How many major cons are there a year? What is the approximate cost to make a good costume? Do winners of the contests sell or auction their costumes at their booth after the contest? Would there be a market for this? Are there booths that have tailors making costume pieces for people and would there be a market for this? Do artists just rent the booths for a flat fee or do they pay the venue a percantage of their sales? Can you rent several booths and make a giant booth? Say I got alot of traffic at my booth, could I use other booths to rent to artists at the price I paid the venue and charge them a percentage of their sales? This is very vague but here is a hypothetical scenerio: I hire 6 cosplay models for the contests, a tailor, and someone who understands all this cosplay and con stuff to go to the shows and run the team for me. Approximately what kind of start up cash would it take for a full season of cons to make different costumes for 6 people? What would be a good con for someone who knows nothing about them to go to and learn? Thank you.
Bump so this can be seen by Hippo.
Senior Member
The number of major cons depends on the state you live in. The biggest known cons are San Diego Comic Con, Wonder Con, Anime Expo, New York Comic Con, and a few others I can't think of right now. The cost of the costume depends on who/what you are cosplaying and if you're buying a mass produced costume, making your own, or getting one comissioned. Generally people in a costume contest don't have their own booth. I don't know if they auction their costumes off, I'm sure some do and there are probably sites like cosplay.com that they do this on. No, generally at cons you can find a few handmade pieces, but they'd generally be things like ears or steampunk pieces. If you want specific pieces for a specific character you'll need to comission someone or make your own OR buy online, depending on who the character is. For an Artist Ally booth you pay a flat fee and take home your earnings. That would be really ****ty of you to do by buying out the artist ally booths and renting them to others. You would for sure get thrown out of the con and possibly banned from it if you were caught doing that- This isn't a 'you probably would', there are rules about this kind of thing for cons- You WOULD get kicked out- but I don't think it's possible anyway. As far as I know, it's one booth per person and for the major cons it's very hard to get a booth as is. They have a limited number available and you have to sign up months in advance- Sometimes a whole year. Generally, if you're just starting out, you want to share a booth with one other person. Your scenario is something that wouldn't happen. Generally the good cosplayers model and make their own costumes and wouldn't just follow some director with no prior knowledge and no actual skills of his own. A good starter con would depend on what state you're in. Long story short, you aren't going to turn cosplaying into an enterprise if you aren't even making your own cosplay costumes. People do make and sell their own costumes, but I assure you that they won't go through someone who plans on turning it into his own business without putting in any of his own effort. You should browse www.Deviantart.com Edit: Something else you don't seem to understand is that most of the crafty/clever people in cosplaying take pride in making and wearing their own costumes. They don't want to just be a model for someone else's work. Some do, but the good ones prefer to make their own.
Semper Damnatus
weapons that people make for their cosplay normally go up for sale after they used them for the con, they normally sell quite fast, and the price can be quite high depending on what its made out of and how good it looks. unless the weapon is so awesome they want to keep it. and basically what amber said.
This all make sense but I'm not talking about hiring people who already cosplay for the contests. I am talking about hiring attractive people that may not even be in to cosplay to wear costumes made by professional tailors. I believe that actual cosplayers would do this for the oppurtunity to become brands and have their merch sold such as shirts, calanders, their costumes, etc. The info about the artists is helpful but I still believe it would be benificial to them if my booths had some of the heaviest trafic. More exposure and more oppurtunity to sell. I think artists who wanted to sell their stuff would be happy to give up a percentage for that. And tthere are other ways to make them comply. Seems like there is a lot of money in this that no one wants to claim. Really has me interested. Is there a good starter con for new people to do research.
Here, found rules for one of em, and here's a quote:
I actually just read your entire post Amber, Thank you. Seems like a lot of ideas I had could work. If people buy certain pieces online then I'm sure they would buy them at the shows made by high skilled people at a inflated price because it will be custom. As for the cosplayers not "cooperating" you'd be surprised at what "negotiating" can accomplish. I was worried that some of what I wanted to do is not permitted but I will find the correct people to pay the "fines" to to be able to do it. Thank you for the list of cons, I will look those up and go to one and figure out if this is worth it. @Semp, What kind of skills does it take to make the weapons?

The Boy Who Cried 'Exit Strategy'
Let me summarize this previous account of Bernanke's career as Federal Reserve chairman since any/all mainstream accounts of Bernanke's work suffer somewhat from the defect of not having the slightest connection to reality.
2005: Bernanke writes about the U.S.'s "Goldilocks economy."
2007: Bernanke promises a "soft landing" after his Goldilocks economy ran out of steam.
2008: Bernanke engages in the largest/most radical money printing in history (along with permanent 0% interest rates) after his "soft landing" turned into "the worst crash since the Great Depression." 2009: Bernanke begins promising his "exit strategy." 2009-13: Bernanke tells us he can't deliver on his "exit strategy" yet. (Because he doesn't want to mess up the U.S.'s new Goldilocks economy?) Of course, even this account of Bernanke's less-than-illustrious career suffers from being framed in the economic mythology fed to us by the corporate media. What Bernanke called a "Goldilocks economy" was in fact nothing but the fraud-saturated, U.S. housing bubble, and the $trillions in excessive spending and suicidal borrowing that accompanied it. The resulting "crash" in 2008, which was deliberately triggered and amplified with the assassination of Lehman Brothers, has led to the U.S. Greater Depression. The entirely mythical recovery that has supposedly followed has been nothing more than the continuation of this horrific economic trough. Proof of this reality comes in many forms. In previous commentaries readers have seen charts conclusively showing: no "new jobs," no "recovery" in the housing market and how energy consumption has collapsed in the economy of the world's great Energy Glutton. How do you "grow" an economy with less-than-zero energy? However, the most powerful/obvious proof comes from the lack of reaction to this extreme/insane stimulus from the U.S. economy. Why has no government --even Japan -- ever engaged in a collection of monetary policies this wildly "stimulative?" Because in any remotely healthy economy it would cause such an economy to immediately overheat and then quickly explode into sector after sector of asset bubbles. Yet, after four years of this pseudo-growth, we see Bernanke just as terrified at the thought of removing the training wheels from the U.S. economy today as he was in the early months of 2009. In fact, Bernanke's massive, monetary prop for the U.S. economy is more than mere "training wheels." It has been shown to be nothing less than life support. Bloomberg was actually correct about one thing in its latest Bernanke-babble. He is "provoking mystery." But the mystery is why do any of the yokels still listen to anything that comes out of the mouth of the boy from the Federal Reserve?

Community Service
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Founder Mary Ellen Sheets has spent her entire life volunteering. She has given both monetary donations and her own time to help better other people's lives. So when she started TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, it made sense to include community service in the foundation of the business.
In her first year, Sheets profited only $1,000. And even though she could have used the money, she decided to give $100 donations away to 10 different local charities.
Sheets has continued donating to the same 10 charities every year she's been in business. She is a longtime supporter of many organizations including Habitat for Humanity, United Way of America and the YMCA. She also serves on several local boards such as the Michigan Freedom Foundation, Boy Scouts of America and Sparrow Hospital.
Her strong commitment to helping the community is shared by her children. The family's dedication has been an inspiration to everyone in the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK system. In fact, 10 cents of every move is donated to the American Cancer Society and more than $420,000 has been donated since 2000.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations across the country dedicate both time and money to their area charities – though it's not a requirement. This is clearly illustrated in the number of discounted moves donated by franchises; hours and truck time donated to coat and toy drives during the holidays; and the donations of time, resources, and money to victims of natural disasters. As a result of its giving nature, the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK system donated more than $2 million in moving services in 2013.

The Rise and Fall of the World's Largest Bitcoin Exchange
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
TOKYO, Japan — Mark Karpeles is the man who built the world's largest bitcoin exchange. But now that the digital currency is reaching the mainstream, his success may slip through his fingers.
In 2011, Karpeles bought a fledgling website called Mt. Gox. Founded a few years earlier by an unemployed software hacker named Jed McCaleb, the site was originally an online marketplace where people could buy and sell cards for Magic: The Gathering, a weirdly addictive trading card game. Mt. Gox was short for "Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange." But then McCaleb turned it into a website where people could exchange cash for bitcoins, a digital currency that had only just found its way onto the internet, and just as the exchange started to take off, he sold it to Karpeles.
Under Karpeles, Mt. Gox evolved into a reliable marketplace for buying and selling bitcoins, now the world's most popular digital currency. By one estimate, Karpeles has made over $8 million plus 345,000 bitcoins (at current rates: $86 million) swapping bitcoins for dollars and yen and other federal currencies. But much like McCaleb, he's a hacker rather than a businessman. He seems more at home talking about IRC than the IMF, and as Mt. Gox has grown, he and his company have found it difficult to deal with the realities of the financial world.
In all, 2013 has been a horrible year for Mt. Gox. The feds have seized $5 million from its bank accounts, claiming that Karpeles and company operated a money transmission business without properly registering with federal and state authorities. Then there's the $75 million lawsuit with onetime-partner CoinLab. And with its U.S. bank accounts seized, Mt. Gox has had a terrible time moving money to U.S. customers, many of whom are rather uphappy about it. Although the company won't answer questions about its problems, they appear to have spread to other countries as well. In Vancouver, Canada, owners of a bitcoin trading shop called Bitcoiniacs say that every week they deal with walk-in customers who are frustrated by their inability to get their money out of Mt. Gox.
Then, last month, Mt Gox briefly lost its status as the world's largest bitcoin exchange, falling behind not one but two other operations: one in China and one in Slovenia.
Karpeles and his company are a metaphor for the bitcoin world as a whole. Created by an anonymous computer scientist — or group of computer scientists — the digital currency rose to prominence after it was embraced by software geeks across the globe. But now, as its influence continues to grow, these young, idealistic hacker types are running into the government regulators who control the existing financial system, and this doesn't always go well. Bitcoin is at point where it will either find a way to play nicely with regulators or fail to reach its obvious potential as a currency that can truly change the world.
When someone using the name Satoshi Nakamoto dreamed up the math-based bitcoin currency in 2008, it was very much born of a mistrust in the international financial system. Lehman Brothers had just declared bankruptcy and rampant speculation had pushed the world's economy to the brink. The bitcoin standard was quickly seized as a rallying point by libertarians and cryptographers — a technically elegant financial hack that embodied both a payment processing system that would work without the banks, and a currency that would be inoculated against inflation. The total number of bitcoins is fixed at 21 million. The last one will be minted in 2140.
Mt. Gox was a big part of the currency's growth. Back in January, a single bitcoin traded for $13, and Mr. Gox was a rarity in the Wild West of bitcoin startups: a trusted brand. When the exchange was hacked soon after Karpeles took over in 2011, he didn't fold and leave his customers hanging, as other fly-by-night bitcoin businesses had done. He made good on his obligations and built a measure of goodwill throughout the bitcoin community. "They've made it through a lot of difficulties in the past," says Greg Schvey, head of research with The Genesis Block, a bitcoin market analytics company. "They basically built the digital currency exchange market."
But you can point to the exact date that this goodwill started to sour: May 14, 2013. That's when federal agents seized $2.9 million, shutting down a Wells Fargo bank account belonging to a Mt. Gox subsidiary. Mt. Gox had been using this account as a critical stepping stone to pay off its U.S. customers. The next month, the government seized another $2.1 million from a second bank account. Later that month, Mt. Gox temporarily suspended U.S. money transfers, and since then, its ability to move money to the U.S. has ground to a near-halt.
Karpeles may have helped bootstrap the bitcoin world, but the feds say he made a basic mistake when he set up the bank account used to disburse funds in the U.S.: he claimed that he was not in the money transmission business. He hasn't had a lot of contact with the media, and he won't talk to WIRED. But you can glean at least a little about the man online. Until this summer, he was ubiquitous on bitcoin forums, where he posts under the pseudonym Magical Tux, also his Twitter and GitHub handle. His LinkedIn profile says he's the CEO of Mt Gox's parent company, but the skills he lists on the site tell a different story. It's all geeky programming stuff: "Linux Servers, Network Security, PHP, Bash, C, C++, Posix API, ASM."
In interviews posted online, this same geeky side of the man is even more pronounced. When Reuters interviewed him about bitcoin's future last April, Karpeles spent the interview perched — awkwardly and without explanation — on a blue exercise ball. He told the news agency that Mt. Gox was receiving between $5 million and $20 million in incoming transfers each day, while paying out somewhere between $300,000 and $1 million.
Even for those who count themselves among Mt. Gox's friends, this interview was a bit weird. You can't take the interview seriously if you have "the CEO of the most important business in bitcoin sitting on top of a bouncy ball talking about world-changing ideas," says Roger Ver, an early bitcoin investor who knows Karpeles well and considers him a friend. And when you consider its ongoing banking woes, and how opaque Mt. Gox has been about explaining them, the company is even harder to believe in.

Funny you should post this - I'm looking for a viburnum this year (only one) and just yesterday asked the manager at Metropolitan Plant Exchange, Fort Lee, which ones they would be carrying and he said he didn't know. Guess I'll be driving around to find what I want. |

I don't know how far you're willing to travel, but Rare Find Nursery in Jackson (Ocean County) has a nice selection of plants and a good reputation. I just checked their online catalog and see eight varieties listed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rare Find Nursery - Viburnum
Perhaps you can ask a nursery to order them? |

Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. PRESCRIBED FOR: Fluvoxamine is used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. However, like other SSRIs, it also has been used in the treatment of major depression, management of obesity, bulimia, schizophrenia, and panic disorder. DOSING: The usual starting dose for adults is 50 mg daily given as a single dose at bedtime. The dose may be increased in 50 mg increments every 4-7 days to achieve the desired response. The maximum dose is 300 mg/day. Doses greater than 100 mg should be administered as a divided dose. When using extended release tablets the starting dose is 100 mg at bedtime and the maximum dose is 300 mg. Children (8 to 17 years old) should start with 25 mg daily given at bedtime, and the dose may be increased by 25 mg every 4-7 days up to a maximum of 200 mg/day (8-11 years old) or 300 mg/day (12-17 years old). Doses greater than 50 mg should be administered as a divided dose. DRUG INTERACTIONS: All SSRIs, including fluvoxamine, should not be taken with any of the mono-amine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) class of antidepressants such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and procarbazine (Matulane) other drugs that inhibit monoamine oxidase such as linezolid (Zyvox) and intravenous methylene blue. Such combinations may lead to confusion, high blood pressure, tremor, and increased activity. Fluvoxamine should not be administered within 14 days of discontinuing an MAO inhibitor, and MAO inhibitors should not be administered within 14 days of stopping fluvoxamine. Similar reactions occur if fluvoxamine is combined with other drugs, for example, tryptophan, St. John's wort, meperidine (Demerol), and tramadol (Ultram) that increase serotonin in the brain.

1997 Ford Explorer SUV XLT 4dr SUV AWD
I bought my explorer for $1000 for my first car in august of 2012 with 154,000 on it. Let me tell you this is a badass truck with a lot of power.
I drove it pretty hard, commuting back and forth to school every day for a semester doin about 70 miles a day offroading some weekends and going up to the mountains in west virginia, and using it as a utility vehicle this spring for my landscaping business. Not the most reliable but it was 15 years old, replaced camshaft position sensor, cat flange gasket, alternator, radiator blew and overheated engine and made #4 cylinder thereafter but hell engines made today would be toast after overheating. Recommend getting owner records before buying

1997 Ford Explorer SUV Sport 2dr SUV 4WD
My Explorer is a 1997 Automatic 4x4 coming up on 180k miles, and it has honestly never failed me. I know that every time I turn the key it will start, and any time I need it to perform it does. Just 2 days ago an older couple got their Kia stuck in a steep ditch and dug their tires in the wet mud, I towed them out just fine. I tow my 3 ton boat without issues, and the high torque V6 never fails me next to a ricer at a red light.
The 4x4 is great out on the beach, and even the backwoods trails.
I agree with the other reviews, the gas mileage is just horrible, but other than that, I can't complain. I've had no mechanical issues, the ride is decent, and for the money, this truck is priceless.

My dad bought me a 1997 Ford explorer about 6 months ago.
Pretty much my only gripe with it is the poor fuel economy.
Other than that, it's fantastic.
I have an XLT with the V8 and AWD.
I am yet to have used the AWD in the snow, but the V8 has supple power and (for a truck) smooth power delivery.
The driver and passenger seat is comfy.
Overall, a great purchase.

I've got 180k miles on my explorer and the 4.0L keeps on going! No ticks, knocks, EVERYTHING works including all power windows, locks, cruise, etc. Auto 4x4 kicks in when it needs to, 4 low and high both work outstanding. Might need a new clutch soon, but that's expected. I never liked the explorers much, but I bought this one as a back up vehicle and now it's my daily driver. Despite all of the other negative comments on gas mileage, I get from 18-20 on every fill-up. I think that's good for a big V6. Very happy with my Explorer! The 5 speed manual tranny makes it even more enjoyable! My complimants to Ford on this one.

Truck is a beast. Yea it does suck gas but if you drive like a normal person, you'll be fine. Pushing 265000k; truck is still on the road. No leaks little rust, but very reliable. SAfe for the kids and easy to drive. This is one of my favorite style of trucks; has alot of room inside while disguising it on the outside. doing little cosmetics to eventually sell, already have 3 buyers...lol...at 265K..Love this Truck.

I have 304,000 miles on my Explorer. Replaced the transmission at 290,000. Replaces heads (cracked) a year ago. Dealer told me that there was no "gunk" in the heads which meant the motor runs clean. This car has raised two children and has been phenomenal! Plan on trading it in on the Ford Edge in a few days. Hard to see it go but I'm ready to get better gas mileage.

Elimination Game: Florida (2) vs. Nebraska (14) - 7:00 ET The winner will play the loser of Texas vs. Oklahoma (2:30, ESPN2) who would get sent to our side of the bracket on Sunday at 1:00PM -TV: ESPN & ESPN3 -Radio: Here -Bracket: Here Go Gators!
We gotta get this one tonight. Hate to go 2 and Q. If we are fortunate enough to get this game tonight, honestly I'm not liking the potential game against Oklahoma/Texas loser. Both teams are really hot right now.
Texas would be the better matchup. Their hitters can go cold like the Gators have the last 2 weekends.
Yeah, Texas is definitely the team we have the better chance against. If I'm being honest, I feel like everybody else is playing for 2nd place behind Oklahoma this year. I'm just hoping we have a few more games left with this team in what has been a successful season.
just win. i don't care about the next game matchup. just win this one. the more games we play in the WCWS the better! better for this year. better from and experiential standpoint for next season. and, who knows, you play the big dog - they have ALL the pressure on them as they are expected to win it all. funny things happen in sports.
Scoreless heading to the bottom of the 2nd with Nebraska up to bat. We've scattered a couple of hits but surrounded by a bunch of really bad at bats by everyone else. Have struck out three times already.
What are we doing? No one is up in the box and close to the plate. This chick is throwing low and on the corner.
