Kim K gets officially divorced from Kris Humphries just before the family heads to Greece on vacation. Meanwhile, mom Kris disses Bruce's son Brody Jenner by not inviting him on the trip, leaving him shocked and confused! Keep reading for all the family drama.
On the July 21 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner freaks out on wife Kris Jenner, who doesn't invite his son Brody Jenner on the big family vacation. Meanwhile, pregnant Kim Kardashian is finally granted her divorce from Kris Humphries and bares her baby bump on the beach! Watch the dramatic episode below!
Brody Jenner Doesn't Get Invited To Greece — Bruce Confronts Kris
Brody doesn't get invited on the family trip to Greece and it starts a big fight between Kris and Bruce.
Bruce approaches Kris in her closet, while she is looking at see-through bras: "I'm a little upset because Brody wasn't invited to Greece. I'm trying to reconnect with the guy and it's a family trip. He is part of the family. He should be invited. I mean, come on," Bruce tells Kris.
Kris tries to explain her actions, telling Bruce:
"You know what — it's not about not including him. It's just about every time I do include him, he is busy or he flakes, or he doesn't want to come. I invited Brandon and Leah. They're so excited about coming and they'd be thrilled if Brody would go, but I always feel like Brody is so busy that he doesn't have time for us."
Bruce doesn't take no for an answer and tells Kris to invite him on the trip.
Later, as Brody and Brandon talk about Kris and Bruce's relationship, Brandon tells Brody they don't sleep in the same room at home. "It's tough for me to hear he isn't appreciated as much as he should be," Brody says.
An Awkward Dinner In Greece
When Kris gets to Greece, she confronts Brody about ignoring her texts and calls. Brody tells her she must have the wrong number because he wouldn't blatantly ignore her. Things are just starting to heat up!
Kim Settles Her Divorce With Kris Humphries
As Kim gets more and more pregnant, her divorce comes to a close. Since Kris refuses to fly to L.A. during the basketball play-offs, he sends over a settlement. Kim says she wants one face-to-face conversation on Skype. She feels like she needs to apologize and clear the air.
After a long day in court, Kim is finally declared divorced from Kris.

Take one, take two, take three OMG I can't keep all the scripted, re-scripted, edited, retakes and changes made in each episode just so they can justify all the public backlash. This show is getting stupid, fake and barely tolerable to watch. Plus they're such bad actors their fakeness is so apparent. Please leave already.

bruce should of made an effort with his own kids from the start he admitted he is closer to his stepkids than his biological kids and his stepkids dont even appretiate him and as for kris every time she looks at a member of her family she sees dollar signs bruce should just leave her if they are not staying in the same room thats not a good sign

Bruce failed his relationship with his sons from earlier on. Now they want to be in Bruce and Kris's lives, and to ride this gravy train known as the Kardashian brand. Let's all remember that this show is pretty much scripted. I doubt Brody would want his poor relationship with his father or Kris aired on TV if it was for real. Take this silly show with a grain of salt, folks.

Kris Jenner has had 6 kids and now she has to get Attitude from Bruce's grown children cuz Bruce wasn't a Good father. One thing is for sure when Kris met Bruce it never stopped Robert Kardashian from being with his kids. Bruce should have to live in a separate place so maybe then he can deal with his kids cuz Kris deals with hers

This article focuses on the discipline involved in making use of a technical tactic to trading the stockmarket, but the rules shown below could quickly be modified and in some instances equally utilized to any strategy and any kind of investing.
What sets many of the worlds excellent traders apart from the crowd is their potential to have a solitary-minded method to building income which at its most fundamental implies getting disciplined. These men have proven it is doable to make income in many different markets which include stocks, indices, foreign exchange and commodities. What is more they are equipped to adapt to different qualifications situations, and for CFD traders this aspect is critical.
The search for the aggravating holy grail
Several specialized traders are continuously searching for the holy grail of systems, and there are plainly some methods that work superior than other individuals, nevertheless incredibly several ways get the job done all the time in all markets.
What is far more crucial is to have a essential set of principles which cover the emotional element of the trading approach. A person could start out with a few fundamental rules of buying and selling going with the trend, restricting risk by making use of stops, and watchful income conduite. Not following these simple rules alone condemns quite a few intelligent individuals to the investing dustbin.
There are of class quite a few moments even though when issues begin to go wrong, and through these moments it is human naturel to query the underlying methodology or investing method, or tweak the entry/exit points to try out and consider to fix the difficulty, or even to abandon the existing technique and begin all over again.
Several traders turn out to be so frightened of dropping again that they will then skip out on some of the greatest trades that arise purely as a end result of the regulation of averages. They may possibly commence to choose the trades that trade binary options really feel superior to them, somewhat than dealing with every trade as a creation line of possible winners.
On that basis, it is practical to look at a easy record of further principles which will help you slumber at evening as a CFD trader and get away some of the psychological injury that can be brought on by tense situations in the markets.
Rule one Dont make your system too difficult
Modern investing software package often has hundreds of built-in technical analysis indicators, as well as any blend of customized strategies and professional analyses which can be baffling in their complexity. 1 technique that you favour might reveal a get signal, whereas one more says sell, and a 3rd indicator could not be conclusive or suggest perhaps adding to positions.
The critical is to find a straightforward methodology that usually functions bearing in thoughts that no a person indicator operates all the time. Try and keep it straightforward and stick to a approach that you truly feel at ease with.
Dont use a trend based mostly technique when a share or index is in a investing variety (which for many stocks is the bulk of the time. Similarly, it is suicidal to use oscillators in trending markets not only do they give very poor signals, but you could skip the main thrust of a brand name new transfer.
If in doubt, discover the strongest shares in the industry by measuring the slope of their functionality or how they are faring versus the benchmark index. Then just look to go with the trend, and vice versa when shorting shares.
Rule 2 Generally get strength and market weak point
As a shorter time period trader you dont have to act like Warren Buffet with the luxurious of being able to wait 10 many years ahead of price exhibits itself for your stock. If you are utilizing margin, which is binary options brokers commonly the situation for CFD buying and selling, you want effects.
The point to bear in brain based on going with the trend is that the manifeste continues to get when charges have fallen, whereas the qualified buys since costs have rallied.
This difference could not look logical, but acquiring energy functions if you are trading. The rule of survival is not to "invest in minimal, sell higher", but to "invest in higher and provide greater". If you are comparing different shares within a group, buy only the strongest and offer the weakest.
This performs on the downside, way too dont be frightened to market and provide once again until eventually there is a pattern alter. Common CFD traders know that stocks that are bid for are pretty much invariably currently powerful in advance of any announcement. People that concern gain warnings are usually currently in a downtrend.
Rule three Just about every trade need to be the similar
You just in no way know when you might strike the jackpot in this small business, but you really should get the look at that each and every trade ought to have the potential to be the most significant trade of the calendar year. It may be, it may not be, but if you are following a disciplined tactic the whole stage is to just take each and every sign. Dont be disheartened if your favorite trade doesnt do what you hoped there are loads far more each day to select from.
Rule 4 Patience is a virtue
This may possibly be the greatest trait of a successful trader. After you have the set up to enter a trade, enable it time to produce and give it time to develop the income you anticipated. Taking smaller revenue is the surest way to supreme loss, as these are never permitted to build into massive profits.
The genuine income in investing is created from the one particular, binary options trading online two or a few huge trades that take place just about every so frequently. If the thought of shedding a profit is toying with you, you may possibly want to consider some dollars off the table and permit the relaxation of the position run working with a pattern indicator. On the other hand, basically set a sensible focus on that is significantly higher than your allowed end loss. If your investing program is valid, you ought to make first rate long time period gains.
Rule five Take your losses
Modest and quick losses are the greatest losses, nevertheless irritating they may possibly be. It is not the dollars that is crucial, but the mental funds that is utilised up when you are preoccupied by a dropping trade that is obscuring other options.
You ought to be expecting occasional drawdowns as portion of any valid trading program, but you must consider them and move on. Many of the best buying and selling devices have about a 40% good results charge of winners, but the winners tend to realize significantly larger returns than the dropping trades.
Rule 6 Fail to remember the urge to get your money again
If you do have a sequence of sharp losses, which takes place to every single trader at some stage, get some time off. Near all your trades and stop trading for a number of days, or go on holiday. The thoughts can perform online games with itself subsequent losses and the urge "to get the cash back again" is intense, and really should be dismissed.
If you can grasp these simple policies, you are by now far forward of the vast majority of traders. By the regulation of averages, and offered that this is primarily a zero sum recreation, you have every single chance to make regular profits and of program delight in investing its not meant to be a nerve-racking enterprise, but people have a tendency to make it a single. You just need self-control.

Rural King has acquired the vacant Value City site on Collinsville Road and plans to open for business by early spring 2010. This site takes advantage of the considerable traffic on I-255 (estimated at 48,000 cars per day) and acts as a catalyst for other redevelopment efforts along this corridor. The Collinsville Road Corridor from I-255 to St. Louis Road is a priority for the City to focus its attention on with renewal efforts. The traffic that Rural King will generate in this area will have a positive effect on the marketability and desirability of this area as a whole and promises to bolster the businesses already operating in this area. Efforts by the Community Development Department in this area forthcoming will be a corridor plan that deals with land use, redevelopment and streetscape improvements. This project represents countless hours of work and dedication by the department to revitalize this area.

The Kohl's store will be approximately 64,000 square feet with two adjoining accessory retail stores and will establish the expectations for new development along the corridor and begins fulfilling the vision of the Northeast Business District plan regarding land use and streetscape improvements.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), which design and build the Metro East levees, has determined that they are no longer adequate and need repair to be certified as providing protection at the 100-year flood level. Without certification by the COE, new flood insurance rate maps being developed by FEMA will show the levees as deaccredited, and designate substantial portion of the American Bottom's Areas a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Once the new maps become final:
150,000 residents, 4000 businesses and 50,000 jobs located in the American Bottoms – a flood plain area that encompasses 25 individual communities in Madison, St. Clair and Monroe counties. These include: Alton, Collinsville, East Alton, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Granite City, Hartford, Madison, Pontoon Beach, Roxana, South Roxana, Venice, and Wood River in Madison County; and Alorton, Belleville, Brooklyn, Caseyville, Cahokia, Centreville, Dupo, East Carondolet, East. St. Louis, Fairmont City, Fairview Heights, Sauget, and Washington Park in St. Clair County; and Columbia in Monroe County. In addition, FEMA's new flood insurance rate maps will identify portions of Godfrey, Millstadt, Grant Fork, Alhambra, Swansea, Troy, Williamson, Hamel, Maryville and Pierron as SFHA's for the first time.

Westview Condominiums- Second Phase Approved by City
Westview is the owner/developer of approximately 5.02 acres of real property with the common address of 1803 Ramada Blvd, formerly home to the renowned local restaurant Sonny and Chars. The site is easily accessible from the interchange of Interstate 55/70 and State Highway 157. In addition, the site is within one mile of Collinsville Crossing's Shopping Center, where anchor tenants include Home Depot, Wal-Mart Super Center, and many freestanding restaurants and retail/service uses.
Westview is currently redeveloping the site into a total of 28 upscale condominium units (comprising the North and South Wings) and approximately 18,000 square footage of commercial lease space. Currently, 13 of the 28 residential condominium units in the three-story South Wing are available for sale. The commercial lease space divides the north and South Wing. Some prospective tenants for this space include a wine bistro and health club and several office space users.
The project to date has cost approximately $7.8 million including land acquisition, site work, construction, landscaping, personal property and related soft costs for the development of the commercial areas and the South Wing of the residential condominiums. Westview expects to incur an additional $3.2 million in costs to develop the North Wing of the residential condominiums. All costs incurred by Westview for development of the project, including past costs and future anticipated costs, are approximately $11.6 million.
Approximately $250,000 of the project cost is expected to be incurred to demolish the current structure existing on the site of the future North Wing, to properly remove debris, to reconstruct and resurface the parking lot adjacent to the North Wing to conform to City ordinances and to construct other necessary public infrastructure improvements for the North Wing.

Community Development Activities Report
Community Development Department Staff members met with a representative of CoStar. Community Development has just purchased new software that provides the Department access to retail, office, industrial and other commercial data within the City of Collinsville as well as other communities located within the Metro East.

The Lincoln-Mercury site located on the northwest quadrant of Beltline and Vandalia has been sold to Korte Realty Company. Community Development Director Paul Mann will be meeting next week with the developers regarding several different development scenarios which would include the inclusion of a cross-access easement to the Walgreens property; the demolition of the building, or portion thereof of the purposes of relocating the Mexican restaurant or the Family Dollar store (located in the Orchards Shopping Center); or a new building for the relocated Swing City. The building is in a state of disrepair and needs to be demolished.
The Community Development Department is tabulating results from the State Park annexation survey sent earlier in the month. The total responses now stand at:
The deadline for survey collection is Friday, October 23.
Building Director Bob Bohnenstiehl is in the process of condemning Hong Kong Buffet (located on State Highway 157 / Bluff Road) and having it demolished. This would also include the freestanding pole sign and the "Swiss Chalet" style building toward the rear of the site. Community Development Director Mann inspected the property last week and requested that Director Bohnenstiehl proceed with the demolition process.
Community Development Director Attends Meeting on the Levee Restoration Issue for Southwestern Illinois
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is adopting new flood insurance rate maps across the country. As part of that process, FEMA, with the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), is reassessing the condition and adequacy of existing levees to protect against a flood that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year (commonly referred to as a 100-year flood or a base flood). Although the Illinois levees in question were federally authorized and built to protect against a 500-year flood, the USACE announced in August of 2007 there were design deficiencies and reconstruction needs that prevented them from "certifying" that these levees could protect against a base flood.
Failure of the levees would result in a historic catastrophe for the region. As many as 156,000 people would be displaced, 69,000 jobs lost or displaced and direct economic value of property damage conservatively estimated in excess of $12 billion. The indirect economic losses from closed highways and bridges (the approaches to all of the bridges crossing the Mississippi River in the region would be underwater), closed refineries and steel mills, flooded hospitals and other critical facilities would be incalculable. And no dollar figure can define the risk to public safety.
How likely is this to happen? All we know now is that the USACE does not believe the levees could reliably contain a flood of 100-year frequency without the help of substantial floodfighting. The 1993 flood was a 350-year event. The risk today from a far less historic flood could be significant. Put simply, this is the most urgent economic and public safety threat to confront the St. Louis region in memory.
The cost of correcting design deficiencies and rebuilding pump stations and other facilities is massive, potentially $500 million or more in today's dollars. Costs will be paid by a combination of federal funds and the proceeds of the local sales tax. Generally, the eligible federal share of costs of these projects is 65% (except for Chain of Rocks, which is 100% federally funded), which would be "matched" by a local share of 35%. The availability of federal funds, however, is determined through federal authorizing legislation (the Water Resources Development Act) and annual appropriations, so there may be significant uncertainty in the timing and amount of federal contribution to the project. If these projects are funded at the typical rate of federal funding the USACE estimates that it will take until 2044 to complete work to make the levee systems comply with modern safety and design standards.
Because of the uncertainty of federal funding and the complexity and time consuming nature of the USACE design and construction process, a locally managed and funded approach to design and construction or some combination of local/federal options will be considered.
Time is of the essence in restoring the level of protection of the levee systems in Southwestern Illinois. Until the flood protection systems are fixed, the risk of flooding and threat to public safety is elevated. Also, the reclassification of the American Bottom in Illinois as a special flood hazard area by FEMA will have a dramatic and chilling effect on economic growth, and require most homeowners to by flood insurance at substantially increased rates, which may not be affordable for many. The hope is that the project can be substantially complete and the levees recertified in seven years, although that goal may be unattainable given constraints in funding and discoveries of further deterioration in the levees.
Frost Electric Redevelopment Agreement Passed
The City Council recently approved a redevelopment agreement for long standing Collinsville business - Frost Electric. Frost Electric opened its first branch location in Collinsville, IL in 1988. Frost has operated out of a 13,000 square foot facility at #2 Business Center located on Bluff Road. Due to significant growth, Frost Electric is in need of additional space in order to continue to meet the demand of its customer base. The current facility is landlocked (from a public right of way) and unable to expand from their existing building. As a result, Frost is proposing to construct a new 26,000 square foot building on 3.4 acres near Horseshoe Lake Road and ABC Parkway. The new building will serve as a warehouse, distribution and wholesale facility for a wide variety of electrical components and systems for industrial and commercial industries. Frost will sell its current facility in Collinsville.
Upon construction, it is estimated that land and improvements for this project will total $1.7 million in real property. At the current 2007 tax rate, property taxes are estimated to be $42,000 annually. All of these dollars will go the City of Collinsville as these improvements fall within the TIF District.
Frost will be proceeding through the rezoning and site plan review process with the Planning Commission with plans for construction in Spring 2010.
Signage System Installed Uptown
We had previously reported that we've been looking into a signage system that has a two-fold purpose: 1) to direct vehicular traffic to Main Street, and 2) to help pedestrians find businesses on Main Street. The signs have been installed, and thus far, the comments on the look of the signs and the information contained within them have been very positive.
On Clay Street, the signs direct traffic to shops and restaurants, City Hall, the Fire Station, public parking, the library and more.
On Main Street, the signs contain a business map and listing, website information, general event information, building information on sites that are on the walking tour, and information on nearby tourism attractions.
UrBaN aRt OPENS
The UrBaN aRt CoOp located in the former Glik's Building at 101 East Main opened for the Italian Fest to highlight some of the new artists that will soon be a permanent business on Main Street. Ali McArthy, owner of the business, decided to open for the exposure from the Italian Fest, and will close to continue renovations on the building. The official opening will be in early November. The UrBaN aRt CoOp will typically be open on the weekends with artists manning booths to sell their art, during the week with consignment art, and for many special events and private parties. To book an event, call Ali at 618.570.2850.

It's more common than you think. Seeing a buttcrack or a buttcrack cleavage, I mean. I can't speak for everyone, but I find it extremely uncomfortable whenever I do spot one because I know I'd eventually have to tell that person to straighten up to hide the crack.
So you can just imagine how long my mouth was agape when I stumbled on the Buttcrack Cleavage Dress. It's basically an article of clothing celebrating the wonder (and beauty?) that is the female buttcrack.
Warning: Do not scroll down if you are easily offended by buttcrack.
And while it may be called the "buttcrack cleavage" dress, we might as well just call it the butt-exposing dress because I think we're definitely seeing more than just the buttcrack cleavage here.
It was available on Etsy on LinaSpyroS's shop and was sold quickly on February 2. It's probably the only one of its kind, so if you do spot someone wearing it, then you know where she got it from.

Justin Blackmon 'done drinking'
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Sitting between his coach and general manager, Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon stared at the ground for much of the 18-minute news conference on Wednesday.
He looked every bit like a kid in trouble.
Blackmon apologized for his "poor judgment," vowed to learn and grow from his latest alcohol-related arrest and insisted he doesn't have a drinking problem. Nonetheless, he swore off alcohol for now.
"People are going to think what they are going to think," Blackmon said. "Words are words. It's my actions that are going to have to show."
"I'm done. Right now, I'm done with all that. ... I can't promise you 10 years down the road that I'm going to be done. I just know that as of right now and what I can speak of.
" -- Jags rookie WR Justin Blackmon
on giving up alcohol temporarily
The first-round draft pick was arrested during a traffic stop in Stillwater, Okla., early Sunday after a breath test allegedly showed his blood alcohol content to be three times the legal limit. He appeared in an Oklahoma courtroom Monday and pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. Blackmon was allowed to remain free on $1,000 bond. His next court date is July 24, three days before training camp.
In the meantime, he has plenty of work to do to restore his image.
"I just want to apologize and let people know that it's not who I am, that's not who I'm going to be," he said.
It was Blackmon's second alcohol-related incident in less than two years. He was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge in Texas in 2010 after officers caught him speeding on a suburban Dallas highway. The charge was later reduced to an underage alcohol possession charge.
He might not be so lucky this time around.
Although jail time is unlikely, Blackmon could end up on probation. He also could be suspended by the NFL, and Jaguars general manager Gene Smith said the arrest could affect contract negotiations.
Jacksonville traded up to select the former Oklahoma State star with the fifth pick in April's NFL draft.
"At the time that we made the selection, we felt very good about the selection," Smith said. "And I still do because I feel like I've got to take a man for his word. We have a chance to get him right. He's a young player and he's got to do his part."
Blackmon declined to answer several questions about that night, citing the pending legal process.
But he made it clear he doesn't feel like he has a drinking problem.
"I do not," he said. "I just think I made a poor choice. I put myself in a bad situation. It's completely my fault. I've just got to make better judgment on that."
Hill: Blackmon Cost Himself
The Jaguars have earned a significant knucklehead discount after Justin Blackmon's DUI arrest, writes Jemele Hill. Story
• Kuharsky: All eyes on Blackmon
He said he would do whatever the league and the Jaguars ask of him. But he added that he's up for the challenge of getting on the right path and staying there.
"I know they put a lot of pressure on me, but I put more pressure on myself to make this right and I'm going to put more pressure on myself, continue to do that, get out of this situation and to make it right," he said. "It's all about growing from your mistakes, learning from them and maturing and trying not to make the same ones over again."
His big bombshell was that he has given up alcohol, at least for now.
"I'm done," he said. "Right now, I'm done with all that. ... I can't promise you 10 years down the road that I'm going to be done. I just know that as of right now and what I can speak of. I'm looking forward to getting ready to play football and putting this in the past."
Coach Mike Mularkey expressed disappointment with Blackmon's actions, especially since the coach brought in several former players recently to talk to the team about the importance of making good decisions.
"We have made a concerted effort for the last three weeks to bring in individuals to show how you should behave once you leave this building," said Mularkey, who plans to continue the practice. "I'm not going to stop force-feeding it down their throats. ... It's very important it's done right."
And Mularkey made it clear that Blackmon didn't do anything right.
"Justin let a lot of people down, most importantly family, this organization, teammates," Mularkey said. "It is a mistake that could turn into a very happy ending solely based on how he responds to this incident. Totally up to him. ... He can make it a good ending or continue the really horrible weekend."
Blackmon sat quietly by as Mularkey and Smith spoke. There was nothing he could say or do to make it right -- only time can change things now.
"I feel terrible," Blackmon said. "Not only letting down this organization, but my family and friends back home, with the decision that I made, the poor, selfish decision that I made that could have all been changed."

tazti Speech Recognition Software for Windows Vista
A newer version of tazti Speech Recognition Software for Windows Vista is available.
Or, Learn More About tazti Speech Recognition Software for Windows VistaFull user review
"Excellent Speech Recognition Software and it's Free"
Easy to install and runs great! Best free software I've run across in years. See details of Pro's and Con's below....
Nothing bad. See details of Pro's and Con's below.....
Whoops I made a mistake in my original review. Tazti works great with 64 bit operating systems. Sorry about that. Got it confused with something else. Andy
- I can very easily perform voice searches of all these search engines: Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, Youtube, Digg, Flicker, Technorati, Facebook and Myspace, AOL Video.
- Tazti also performs stock market voice searches through google finance. I check some of my stock portfolio daily using Tazti.
- I can also use 35 speech commands to control my iTunes music player on my PC.
- Another feature allows me to perform voice searches of Internet Explorer, Firefox and safari for a bookmark I've saved. I have hundreds of saved bookmarks and it's great to be able to search them all by voice.
- Tazti also lets me get into my Facebook and Myspace accounts by talking to my PC. Then I can use speech commands to go from area to area!
- I can turn on my AOL and Yahoo messanger and my camera by using speech commands.
- For me the best feature is the ability to create my own speech commands. I created one speech command " Yo baby I love my chevy" and associated it to my chevy news website. So I say the speech command into my mic and my PC opens my favorite chevy website automatically!! No more typing. I created another speech command "save some cash" that when spoken opens dealcatcher.com. I have other commands open opening programs, files and other websites.
- Also lets a person click, double click and use context menu by speaking to their PC.
Overall I've never seen a speech recognition application do any of this stuff. These guys are the first at what they are doing and it really works.
Check out their youtube video if you want to see it in action for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1tt_aeIAM8
Cons: They are still working on a 64 bit version, but the 32 bit version works great on all my other PC's! They did not include a dictation capability, but I use another application that I paid $120 for, to do letter dication.(Tazti is free!) The XP version takes about 30 minutes to train, but it was worth it because the speech recognition quality was excellent! I also installed the Tazti Vista version on my Vista machine and it only took 15 minutes to train also providing fantastic speech recognition.
I use a pretty good $31 mic headset and I get great speech recognition on my XP and Vista machines. This application is clearly built to offer hot new features and also to reduce the amount of clicks and keyboard keystrokes a person needs to make when using these features. I guess that I'm eliminating 85% to 90% of normal keystrokes when I use tazti for the features it offers. But tazti is not for eliminating 100% of keystrokes. I could probably get rid of 97% if i was wanted. Either way it really helps with my tender fingers in the winter. I have intermittent pain from too much computer use and am not disabled.
So cheers to the guys at Tazti for breaking new ground with a fun speech recognition app that I can use daily!

White House Petition to Investigate and Condemn Illegal Organ Harvesting in China
White House Petition to Investigate and Condemn Illegal Organ Harvesting in China
Dec 13, 2012
Please sign this petition to the White House. It's picking up steam but we still have a ways to go:
On Sept. 12, 2012, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs heard testimonies that between the years 2000 and 2008, around 65,000 deaths of Falun Gong practitioners resulted from forced organ harvesting.
There is mounting evidence that China's state-run hospitals routinely extract organs from living Falun Gong practitioners without consent and sell them as transplants. Each transplant of a heart or liver can provide more than $100,000 in revenue, making it a very lucrative activity.
Further, strong evidence exists that Wang Lijun, Bo Xilai, and Zhou Yongkang have been personally involved in the organ harvesting business. At a U.N. Human Rights Council panel in Geneva on Sept. 18, 2012, Ms. Guo Jun, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times (Chinese edition), spoke about her work. She said, "In our investigation, we found that prisoners, detained in labor camps and jails, were almost the sole source of transplant organs in China. The vast majority were practitioners of Falun Gong, a Chinese spiritual practice."
In response to reports of forced organ harvesting in China, legislation has been enacted in countries such as Canada, Israel, Italy and Belgium that prohibit brokering sales of organs, reimbursement of transplantation performed on their citizens in China, and the training of Chinese surgeons in the home country. Their concern is that China is taking the organs from executed prisoners, many of whom are prisoners of conscience.
The international standard agreed to in the Declaration of Istanbul in May 2008 declared that organ trafficking and transplant tourism should be prohibited. The Declaration also states that organ transplantation must be conducted with the donors' personal consent and that donors absolutely cannot be death row inmates.
This is a very serious issue, and raising awareness of the situation would be instrumental in putting an end to this atrocity. I hope that you can sign this petition and let friends and loved ones know about it. Thank you.

Stars of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Injured in Car Crash
The cast of the TLC hit show were involved in an accident Monday night in Milledgeville, GA, just 20 minutes from their home. According to reports, a truck without its lights struck the family's vehicle as they were turning at an intersection, causing the collision.
Paramedics happened to be nearby and assisted the famous brood. Their bodyguard then took them to a nearby hospital. Although none of them were seriously injured, matriarch Mama June says they're still "really sore." Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson hit her head on a window, but is said to be doing well. Sugar Bear, Alana's father, has contusions on his back, and "Mama June" is recovering from sprains. Their other daughter Pumpkin, who turned 14 yesterday, received bruises to the chest and is now suffering from panic attacks.
"It was really scary for us, since it was the first time any of us had ever been in a wreck," Mama June said in a statement from TLC sent to CNN. Despite the incident, Mama June isn't going to let the accident spoil her daughter's birthday. "No matter how sore we feel, we are going to go out and celebrate," the reality TV mom said.
Here's hoping for the family's speedy recovery! Are you a fan of their show?

More About:
Blair Waldron loved the benefits of forage kochia. But every large snowstorm brought problems for him and the ranchers who grazed Immigrant, the only forage kochia variety for sale in the U.S.
The relatively short semi-shrub would disappear beneath the snow, unreachable by livestock. Waldron, plant geneticist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Utah, even had to cancel experiments on the forage following heavy snows.
But last year he debuted a new forage kochia variety, called Snowstorm. It has many traits of Immigrant, released in 1984 to rangelands in the West, but originates from a robust variety found in Uzbekistan, in central Asia.
Not only is Snowstorm nearly twice as tall as Immigrant, allowing it to poke through all but the largest snowfalls, it also yields more. The variety has a higher protein content and is more digestible, too, Waldron says.
"This was developed with the goal of improving (kochia's) ability to serve as a fall or winter forage," he adds. It's what he envisioned 15 years ago, when he first started his research.
Forage kochia is popular in the West, where it easily adapts to the harsh, arid conditions. The plant, a native of central Eurasia, is used to stabilize land by out-competing invasive cheatgrass and eventually replacing the weed. Kochia also does not burn, so can serve as a wildfire retardant.
It can save producers money. Fall pastures with a mixture of forage kochia and crested wheatgrass yield up to six times more forage (2,300 lbs/acre) than plots with only crested wheatgrass (400 lbs/acre). That's due in large part to kochia's drought tolerance, according to four years of research by Waldron and Dale ZoBell, Utah State University beef Extension specialist. Ranchers also spent about 25% less on the mixture than they did on alfalfa hay from November to January, the researchers found, and body condition scores were similar.
Cattle also seem to love the taste.
"I was bringing a bull back, and when we came to a (kochia) field, he just stopped and started to eat," says Rich Wilburn, a Crane, OR, rancher who tested Snowstorm for Waldron and uses Immigrant. "Shoot, we had to get a crowbar to get him out of the field and home."
Snowstorm grows to about 30" tall compared to Immigrant's 18" average height, according to Waldron's research. Those extra inches added to the total yield, which was about 2,250 lbs/acre compared to Immigrant's 1,350-lb/acre yield.
The new variety tested at nearly 8% protein vs. 6.5% for Immigrant. Snowstorm also was more digestible. Waldron attributes that to abundant, large leaves and its thick stem, which he believes has less lignin than Immigrant.
The geneticist made a limited amount of seed available to growers last year, hoping they could cultivate a large supply. But for reasons he is still unsure of, it was a terrible year for seed production, and supply was short. He and livestock producers hope enough seed will be available by the 2014 growing season.
"We're interested in seeing what Snowstorm is," says Bob Adams, who runs about 950 beef cows outside of Brigham City, UT. Adams (pictured above, at left, with Waldron) has used Immigrant for years and planted two 30-acre plots of Snowstorm for Waldron last year. "We're kind of right in the infancy of our exposure to the stuff."

On most beaches, the best food you'll get is something fried, served with a side of something else fried. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course: To eat greasy French fries (or fried clams, or even fried dough) on the beach is human. But to eat tender grilled octopus and wash it down with a cold cerveza while digging your toes into the powdery sand of Mexico's Pacific Coast—well, that's divine. Our list of contenders for the world's best beach food contains its share of classic fried goodies and seafood, as well as some less-familiar seaside delicacies, such as the traditional English breakfast preferred by Cornwall's surfing set, cool and creamy salads served on a shady patio overlooking the north coast of Mykonos, and what may be America's best—and definitely its largest—cheeseburger. Whether it's prepared in a roadside shack or a gleaming modern kitchen, this is beach food sublime enough to compete with an ocean view.

Good luck on getting her to earn her kibble! I keep telling Tiger and Lily I really can't afford to keep 2 cats in Fancy Feast, so get out there and get a job. They just sit there and look bored. (Tiger can't eat dry because he had a nasty - and EXPENSIVE - urinary blockage a couple of years ago, so was forced to change his diet - no recurrences! (The bill for Fancy Feast makes it easy to resist adopting a 3rd cat.)

Don't be embarrassed - and you totally rock at glitter, which I'm a little afraid to use - at least partly because I would have feline "help" and I'd be finding glitter all over the house for years to come. I know how this works!

Jar Candles Carved Candles Massage Candles Gel Candles
Wedding Candles Candle Gift Sets Birthday Candles Soy Candles
Chakra Candles Candle Gift Baskets
Jar scented candles have become so popular that they are ubiquitous. The graceful designs of the long-burning jar scented candles we offer elevate them beyond the mundane. They are decorative scented candles that serve as a home decór accent as well as a sensory indulgence—lending subtle beauty to their environment even when not in use.
Each of these exquisite hand carved candles is a unique object d'art that can be used as a dramatic centerpiece or a stylish decór accent. All of the styles in this hand carved candles collection highlight different aspects of the artistry and skill of the chandlers who make them.
Aromatherapy massage candles are an excellent way to enhance intimacy and sensuality in a relationship. They are made with therapeutic grade essential oils and pure soy wax, a natural emolient that melts at low temperatures and can be applied to skin without harm or discomfort.
Gel scented candles have a definite "cool factor" because their transparency makes the flame appear to float. The effect can be quite hypnotic as the light shimmering through the transparent gel enhances the natural prismatic design elements of the glass. All gel scented candles are available in a broad array of food, floral, and exotic fragrances and aromatherapy blends.
Because wedding ceremonies featuring wedding unity candles are so special, it is important to choose wedding unity candles that truly embody the sensibilities of both the bride and the groom. This extensive collection of beautiful wedding unity candles makes it easy to find the perfect set of wedding unity candles for that very important day in your life.

Enjoy this diverse collection of aromatherapy candles with offerings that appeal to aromatherapy novices and long-term practitioners alike. Virtually all styles of candles are included in a broad selection of aromatherapy candles, samplers, gift sets and gift baskets.
Food and Drink Scented Candles
Scented candles designed to look like food or beverages are fun and popular. Often they are placed strategically in the kitchen to create a festive ambiance and the illusion that something is hot out of the oven. Cake scented candles are ideal for real estate showings, and they make delightful gifts or party favors, particularly during the holidays.
The scented pillar candles carried by WicksWorks include both round and square varieties. Traditionalists generally prefer round scented pillar candles, so for them we stock a 6 1/2" tall scented pillars and a scented pillar candle three-tier sets. Modernists tend to favor square scented pillar candles. These sleek scented pillar candles are 6 1/2" tall and 3 1/4" wide and yield nearly 120 hours of candle burning enjoyment. Both round and square scented pillar candles are available in a wide variety of fragrances.
Many people prefer scented candles made from organic materials such as soy wax. They are our personal choice for day-to-day use. We like soy scented candles because they burn virtually soot-free and quickly distribute their fragrance throughout a room. The soy scented candles we stock come from established and reputable candle makers.
Chakra energy candles combine metaphysics with aromatherapy. What makes these chakra candles special is that they are enhanced with essential oil blends selected for their aromatherapy benefits relative to balancing each chakra. As the chakra candles burn, they release beneficial vapors that gently assist with focused meditation and prayer.
A candle gift basket makes a wonderful gift. It is the perfect way to say I love you, thank you, congratulations or ... I'm sorry! This scented candle gift basket collection has something for everyone and every occasion.

Lawmakers stall bill that would make Amazon, other online retailers collect sales tax
State should abide by Amazon deal, Kenley says
INDIANAPOLIS - Some key state senators are stalling a bill that would make Amazon.com and other online-only retailers start collecting Indiana's 7 percent sales tax this summer.
The Indiana House voted overwhelmingly last month in favor of requiring online sales tax collection in July, six months earlier than under a deal then-Gov. Mitch Daniels brokered with Amazon last year.
Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Luke Kenley said his committee won't take up the bill and that the state should abide by the Amazon agreement.
Kenley said he understands the frustrations of traditional retailers over the price disadvantage, but that Congress first needs to give states more authority on collecting taxes from online businesses.
The Indiana Retail Council plans to keep pushing the issue through the end of the legislative session in late April.
The council said Indiana loses $75 million to $125 million in each year in sales tax revenue not collected from online retailers.

Yesterday, I dropped by Friedman's on the way home and picked up a couple of different stains that we thought would make the quilting in the maple pop just a little bit. We laid out a couple of samples on all 5 of the woods we were going to be playing with, chose the best compromise, and with a deep breath we applied it:
Next up: Many coats of rub-on polyurethane. We're going with poly rather than varnish because it's a finish that we can do a reasonable job with at home, and because I like rubbed finishes.

CONNOISSEURS' GUIDE TO CA WINES Vol 34, Iss 9: 2007 Black Bart's Bounty Syrah
"If very much in the camp of those Syrahs showing the gamy, spiced-meat traits of the grape, this brash and broadshouldered wine is equally keyed on unabashed ripeness. It is laced with dark chocolate and fights with a bit of finishing heat, but it is so rich and well-stuffed that it succeeds all the same. It mayor may not find more refinement with age, but. with a few years, it should serve as a fine foil to flavorful braised meats and well-seasoned roasts." |

POSTED: Monday, January 2, 2012 - 6:45pm
UPDATED: Monday, January 2, 2012 - 7:20pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — The weekend was a busy time in downtown Baton Rouge with celebrations for the New Year happening on every inch of Third Street. However, the night before the big event, Friday, Dec. 31, was just as exciting. That's because a new film festival attracted more attention than its organizers ever could have imagined.
"I was very surprised to be honest," James Hebert, Director of the Third Street Film Festival, admitted. "I think everything went off without a hitch. All the films played perfectly. The food was great and music was good. And the overall reaction from the crowd was positive."
The goal of the Third Street Film Festival [1] is to spotlight all of the local talent that's been thriving in recent years due to the increase in industry interest thanks to an aggressive tax incentive program. The concept seemed to attract more than a fare share of interest.
"By 6:20, we were completely sold out of tickets," Hebert recapped. "At 7:00, people were still trying to buy tickets. We were told they had to turn away almost a hundred people."
The overwhelming positive reaction has Hebert not only excited to continue the event next year, but now he has his eye on establishing even more projects throughout the year.
"I'd like to get something going for a summer film festival," Hebert explained. "I've started talking with organizers of the Art Melt, and they seem interested in doing some sort of collaboration."
For now, Hebert is riding high on a big success.
"Everyone stayed around after talking about the films, so it ended up going on until around 11 that night," Hebert said. "Then, everyone came back, including a ton more people, for the New Year's Eve party."
That party was hosted by Scene Magazine [2]. All those who attended the film festival were given a pass to the exclusive party. Some very notable figures in the film industry were in attendance and even Mayor Holden made a guest appearance. Anthony Ryan Auld of Project Runway fame was also at the party, along with NBC33 News anchor Tammi Arender!
