From invoices to purchase orders and myriad supporting documentation, all manufacturing organizations rely on their accounting departments to keep business moving.

SHANGHAI (AP) — Chinese tycoon Li Shufu's car company Geely has a knack for giving its vehicles oddball names: Gleagle, King Kong, Englon. Not as memorable for buyers of the King Kong and its stablemates is a standard of quality that's so-so even by the Chinese auto industry's standards. Zhejiang Geely Holding Co.

The Price Of Carbon: 27c Per GallonApril 21, 2010 4:21 am | by Jim Lane, Biofuels Digest | Articles | Comments
Perhaps the only thing under heaven that moves slower and more unpredictably than evolution is the evolution of carbon policy. Biofuels investors have long since written off carbon as a factor, saying that the uncertainty of policy has led them to fund only those projects that can survive without a price on carbon.
Volcano Disrupts Just-In-Time ManufacturersApril 21, 2010 4:10 am | by Samantha Bomkamp, AP Business Writer | News | Comments
NEW YORK (AP) — The strategy of keeping inventories lean paid off for U.S. manufacturers during the recession. Just-in-time delivery of parts makes even more sense when budgets are tight.

Stay Off That PlaneApril 20, 2010 12:13 pm | by by David Mantey, Editor, Product Design & Development | Blogs | Comments
To fly or not to fly is suddenly the question , and though I do enjoy the Shakespearean spin on the tragedy, let's not get too loose with the definition of tragedy. If anything, the airport crisis plays out more like a dark comedy than a tragic event. Labeling a week stranded in an airport a tragedy is like calling Piano Man the greatest song ever made.
Energy Harvesting Gets A BoostApril 20, 2010 12:05 pm | by Tony Armstrong, Director of Product Marketing, Power Products, Linear Technology Corporation | Articles | Comments
A wide range of low-power industrial sensors and controllers are turning to alternative sources of energy as the primary or supplemental means of supplying power. Ideally, such harvested energy will eliminate the need for wired power or batteries altogether. Transducers that create electricity from readily available physical sources such as temperature differentials (thermoelectric generators or thermopiles), mechanical vibration (piezoelectric or electromechanical devices), and light (photovoltaic devices) are becoming viable sources of power for many applications.

Scarily, I went back and checked by manuals, and the first version of Bryce I purchased was back in 1997 (The first PC version), and I used ports from RayDream Designer and the internal modeler in Bryce for many years. Later, I moved to DAZ Studio, though I've dabbled in Blender and Sketchup (My wife's got a degree in interior design, so she has Sketchup and some other modeling software on her Mac).
I find that, as kludgy as it is, the Bryce modeler is quick enough for my dabbling, though DAZ studio ports pretty seamlessly.

I said I *started* it with the beach theme, but it's not what it would have been for that one (I was actually trying to put it on a beach w/ a waterfall). I'm a musician (primarily keyboards), and I often dream w/ instruments and I was trying to create an ethereal "dream-like" to capture that.

Welcome to Pink Lake in Western Australia, this is one of two "pink lakes" found in the land down under. The other being Lake Hillier found on Middle Island which happens to be the largest island that make up the Recherche Archipelago. Naturally your first question is "Is this pink lake real?" The answer is Yes! However unfortunately contrary to popular belief these lakes aren't always pink in color. The remarkable color of the water changes as a result of green alga Dunaliella salina or high concentration of brine shrimp. Obviously your second question is no doubt "Can you swim in these pink lakes?" The answer is of course! These bodies of water are salt water just like many other lakes and oceans around the world which means it harmless and perfectly safe to swim in. Unfortunately that means the answer to your third question of "Can you drink water from Pink Lake?" is a somber No! Lake Retba in Senegal gets an honorable mention on great pink lake as well.
Next is my favorite and arguably the most beautiful natural sight on earth located in good ole USA, Yellowstone National Park. The Grand Prismatic Spring which also happens to be the largest hot spring in the United States, and top five largest in the entire world. Think Boiling Lake and Flying Pan Lake of New Zealand. Grand Prismatic Spring looks like an giant rainbow volcano swimming pool of death and that's what makes it so awesome. The center of this Hot spring is considered sterile because of its extreme heat! Ladies and gentle this is not a hot tub you want to go relaxing in after an hard days work unless you want to be boiled dinner!

Comic Novice
I really do not know anything about comics, but occasionally I am intrigued enough to go to the comic store with the full intention of "getting into" something. Unfortunately it never seems to happen...I am too overwhelmed by the selection and end up with nothing. I am looking for a recommendation for something that might get me interested. To give some parameters, I would rule out *standard* super hero or horror stuff (but am open to something different) In general I am a science fiction/space opera fan. Long Epics with good characters. I would be looking more for story than for art. Any direction would be appreciated.
Thank you

Well, that's the only comics I ever read, I used to have a spiderman comic with kull in it, and it was great. I don't know really, maybe someone else will be more helpful.
But seeing that there will be recommendations made, can I ask where you can get comics from? I'm always looking for a good X-men, spiderman comic, but I can never find one? What shops sell them in england?
June 12th, 2002, 12:12 PM #3
Go and have a look through the graphic novel/tradepaperback section of ur shop. These are complete story arcs collected together rather than the chapter by chapter pamphlet approach used in comics. Also some back issues of comics are simply too explensive to consider (at least for me), so trade paperbacks are a godsend (also ur not forced to buy the comic in the fornight after it hits the shelves in case u miss a chapter- trades are around months to years after 1st being released).
I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to know what's so good about comics:
Watchmen- not many people would argue with me in saying that it's the best comic book story ever written. Great characterisation. Top notch plotting.
Will post more later- but been up for 36 hrs straight
Gabbador- i get my comics from forbidden planet- go do a google seach for forbidden planet scotland, to find ur nearest store. If u can't get to a comic book store locally, u may want to try www.comics247.co.uk - not the same as flicking thru a few comics and deciding (not to mention u have to pay a little bit for postage), but it's better than nothing- and just about all the spiderman books on the shelves in the last few months are decent - i still like Ultimate spiderman the best.

Here's SFX's recommended top 30 comics of all time from May last yr
OK- I'd contend some of these- it's just a matter of finding what u like. However I found this list quite helpful whilst getting back into comics last yr. Ok there's decriptions next to the lists in the mag, but I'm not typing all that out, not to mention the copyright stuff. Most are available in trade paperback form, except no. 2.
30. Batman: The Long Halloween
29. A Superman for all seasons

So much for not overloading u with information.
Flick thru some of the trades, and decide if they're ur cup of tea. Read thru a few pages- some will hook u with the dialogue straight away- consider those ones.
Also try this:
This is a link to the previews of most comics coming out in the coming week (basically the 1st 3 or 4 pages of each comic)- u can get a general feel of what the comic's about that way, and lets u get the feel of the art and the dialogue. I'd stick to the trades, but u may want to get the feel of some of the 'proper' 22 pages with 10 page of ads comics (trades normally don't have ads breaking up the story)
One of the better review sites is:

Get thee to a comic-book store and find DC's AWESOME Kingdom Come, with painted art by Alex Ross. Marvel also had a variation on that as well, with a series with the name (I think) of 'Marvels.' Both are incredibly well written, although the former stands out in my mind as the superior product.

Always nice to see someone with great taste in comics. I haven't read Marvels, but Kingdom Come was and is still my personal favorite. One of the most incredible storylines I've had the pleasure to read. And of course, Alex Ross' equally incredible painting skills. . .
Oddly, I can't for the life of me remember who wrote the bloody thing. Was it Busiek?

Do you know is the Kingdom Come novel was any good? I was tempted to purchase it, but I don't see how any comic could ever really translate well to novel format.

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who posted thier thoughts. Today is the first chance I had to go out to my local store and found out that it was closed on Mondays, so I went to the backup store.
[gabador]: I am not in England but FYI we have a couple local shops here in Evanston, IL
Stars Our Destination
and Comix Revolution
I ended up at Comix Revolution but could only find certain titles mentioned in these posts. In fact, besides the standard superheros mentioned, I only found The Preacher, 100 Bullets and The Invisibles. (Possibly I was not looking in the right places as this place had tons of stuff) I think my other store will have more titles based on my look though their front window.
From the few I had to choose from I went with The Invisibles. Hopefully will get to read it and check out the others sometime soon. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks Again

Trainor for the defense: Senior sweeper led STA's stingy 'D'
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
DOVER — Michelle Trainor recalls her initial urges to play field hockey were as a defensive player. Her older sister, Heather, played offense, so Michelle felt compelled to stop her.
"She came with a skill set that was undeniable," Carpenter said. "She's coachable and she works hard. She was mature from the get-go. She was determined and willing to learn and accept criticism. That made her stand out."
Trainor recalls being small and quiet as a freshman, but as she grew she became more vocal to the point where she is not afraid to speak her piece in any situation.
"She critiques people in a positive way," Carpenter said. "She acknowledges her faults and can tell peers it's not her best game and she needs their help. She never would yell at a teammate. Michelle is definitely a team player. Her personality is so likeable; always has been."
Beyond that, Carpenter feels Trainor is an extension of herself on the field.
"She's my eyes on the field," Carpenter said. "Things she said are things I said. She was the coach out there."
It was during her sophomore year that Trainor was moved from halfback to sweeper, the heartbeat of the defense.
"We needed someone strong back there," Carpenter said. "Someone we could depend on and trust. Her maturity allowed us to put her back there. We had the faith in her if the ball came in that she would clear it out."
St. Thomas enjoyed some very good success over the past two years, advancing to the semis for the first time since the 2003 team won the Class I championship — the school's only field hockey crown.

Retirement Planning
The Power of Tax-Deferred Growth
That´s exactly what happens when you invest in accounts that defer tax withholdings until the time of withdrawal.
For example, when you pay taxes at the rate of 25% on your annual gains, it reduces the amount of money in your account that could be earning valuable interest. With tax deferral you would delay paying those taxes, leaving the money inside the account. Because there is more money available in the account to earn interest, your account balance may grow and increase faster than without tax deferral.
As the hypothetical chart below shows, over the 20-year period, a $100,000 investment, earning 4% tax-deferred returns, will grow to $219,112 over 20 years. That´s $43,000 more in earnings.
This chart is hypothetical and for illustrative purposes only. The hypothetical 4% rate of return shown is not guaranteed and should not be viewed ad indicative of the past or future performance of any particular investment.
Many People Will Spend More Time In Pre-Retirement – Planning Ahead for Their Future Retirement – Than In Retirement. Many people we work with are more concerned about keeping what they have and making it last, than the best stock pick of the month.
That's why resourceful baby boomers and retirees are turning to research, financial coaches, and investment advisors for the information they need to review their portfolios and address the questions:
"What kind of pre-retirement planning do I require, now, for a successful transition to life after work?"
Pre-retirees and retirees who have a written financial plan before they receive the Gold Watch, may be better off than those who do not. Seek the advice from a trained professional like an Investment Advisor Representative at TradeWell™. We are Fiduciaries and are legally obligated to hold your interests ahead of ours.
Know What Plan Fees You Are Paying For Your Retirement
AARP estimates that hidden 401(k) fees of 1% can reduce a worker's retirement returns by about 15% over 30 years. For an account of $1 million that comes to $150,000.*
Twenty years ago, the cost of administering a 401(k) plan was primarily the responsibility of the employer. Today most of that burden has shifted to participants. According to a recent article in AARP, "Although workers have not been receiving itemized bills for fees they pay in their 401(k) retirement plans, those hidden costs may be chipping away at the growth of their nest eggs." Most if not all 401(k) participants are also shouldering the burden of managing these accounts themselves, or relying on a call center representative for investment advice.

String Beans/French Beans Recipe (干煸四季豆)
I made this string beans (french beans) recipe a few months ago but haven't gotten to posting it. Called 干煸四季豆, this is a popular Chinese recipe that is mostly served in Chinese restaurants here in the US.
I love the texture of the deep-fried string beans; the great flavors came from stir-frying the string beans (french beans) with dried chilies, dried shrimp, and ground pork. This is another Chinese restaurant recipe that is worth trying out so please read on and get my string beans/french beans recipe below.

I first had this dish at a Malaysian friend's house and since then I've fell in love with it! I've been thinking of making it for a while, tomorrow I'll go and buy some beans, so I can check out your recipe!
Here in China, at restaurants at least, prickly ash (commonly known as Chinese numbing spice) is added. This is whole kernel and not ground. VERY nice addition that I did not see in this receipe. : )
Ooh, this is seriously one of my favorite quick dishes! Especially good when the ground pork gets all crispy around the edges. Good stuff, in flavor and nutrition.
Look delicious, and easy!
Thank you for this recipe. These green beans are a favorite of mine whenever I eat at a Chinese restaurant. Now, I can make them at home. They look terrific!
I always love this dish and always wanted to make it but can never find the recipe. Finally found it on your website, thanks so much !!
It is new to me. Is it a Sze Chuan style cooking? Sounds interesting and inviting looking at the wrinkled french beans! ;)
I love long beans, but I have not seen freshly picked ones, taut outer skin like we used to get at the friday markets. That is why I use french beans and pretend they are long beans.Taste is rather different. So sad.
I should start growing them myself, if I can get seeds. Thank you for the recipe.
Ooh, sounds so good. I love finding new ways of cooking beans, and I'm already thinking of how to make this work for me (vegetarian)! Gotta love simple stir-fries!
oh i like this recipe very much, I take note. Great photo, made me very hungry! :)
Ohmygosh…i'm supposed to deep fry it??!! No wonder it never came out the same!!! DOH! thanks, B!!!
I love these! We always called them "Dry Fried String Beans" in California. Can you give me a good substitute for the ground pork? I can't eat pork products…. thanks!
Marion – how about ground chicken or ground shrimp?
mmmm……ground shrimp sounds wonderful! thanks…..
String Beans/French Beans 四季豆 is my #1 green. I can have it any which way it is cooked but yours has got to be my best way to savor this healthy yet most time, overlooked beans.
Mmmmm I love the color and texture of oil blanched beans. Made some with black garlic and black beans the other day that were pretty good.
I love string beans! I had them recently in a Szechuan restaurant and it was yummy! Will definitely try this out soon, thanks for the recipe!
Is there a way to substitute for not having a wok?
FABULOUSLY STUPENDOUS! This is one of my fave veggie dish in Chinese restaurants. You just gotta have fiber company to the rice. And I've never bothered to learn how to make one, but since our helper is down to sickness, I finally got the "chance". My laziness hated that "chance" so much. Anyway, THANKS!! =D
Do I have to use bouillon powder can substitute with anything else?
In Malaysia :
long beans is kacang panjang while french beans is kacang buncis.
Each with distinct shape and taste. Both can be eaten raw with sambal belacan.

I just bought a 16GB Refurb on e bay through the Sony selling site it did upgrade to ICS. I returned the refurb to buy this because it was NEW, has 32 GB instead of 16 and this one was 15.00 cheaper than the refurb. I think Sony is dumping these as the price keeps going down, but for this price you can't go wrong it worked good and was fast. I should have bought 3 these are selling on e bay for 375.00
Anyone know if this proprietary charger is the same one that is used for the PSP, Sony E-reader, and/or other Sony devices?

I've never had a problem with the charger cord although I hate that its proprietary. As stated before simply buy a large SD card and play your videos/music straight from there. It does crash at times but no more than my android phone.

By Lookin' for a lake... (NE Ohio) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony SGPT111US/S Wi-Fi Tablet (16GB) (Personal Computers)
The tablet was purchased the week they came out, September of 2011.
At this point here are the issues I'm having:
the charging cable does not always stay connected to the tablet prohibiting it from charging.
Despite having a clean memory card, I cannot use the video because there is never enough room to save a video.
I can only save 3 photos.
Speakers have intermittently gone out... I have to do a soft reset to get them working again.
Customer service is difficult.
Each time I turn on the tablet, I get an android error message.
I cannot delete some apps (chumbly for example)
My web browser routinely crashes.
Where's all the playstation games as promised?
Here's what I love about the tablet:
The screen resolution is AMAZING. Photos and videos look great.
The remote control is really easy to use.
Size and shape are just right.
I was sent an email from Sony asking for a review of the S tablet. You would have thought that after the scathing review that someone from Sony would have contacted me. After two months, nothing. That's when I decided to let my fellow Amazon shoppers know of my experiences with this product.
So, weighing to pros and cons... I'd like my money back!
I can not find any spec on this product that tells me my what type of file formats I can use example avi, mpeg i know it plays mp3 ?????

Dud wrote:Where di you pick up a 3-year warranty for $60? Square Trade is offering a 3-year warranty for only $41.99.
It's another $20 to add the accidental damage coverage...so now I can use my tablet while sky diving or lounging in the pool with no worries ;-)
wallersh wrote:Anyone know if you can stream or "throw" video from the Tablet S to a PS3 connected to a TV? I see that you can stream to a DLNA capable HDTV, but I have an older HDTV that does not support this. I do have a PS3 that has DLNA, so I'm hoping that I could push content from the tablet to the TV through the PS3. Thoughts?
I was reading reviews on Sony's site, and it said you could throw movies, pics, vid to any tv that shares the same wifi connection, so if the Ps3 you have has and is connected to your wifi, then yes,right? Supposedly it will scan for and give you a list of all devices on the same network and you can just throw to it. At least that's what this review said, soooo....
I can't decide whether or not to pull the trigger on this one and it's killing me!!!I mainly want another option for watching video/tv- have Kindle Fire and love the Amazon instant vid store connected to my Amazon account. But this is Sony, and I love me some Sony.
Why buy this rather than the Nexus 7 (same price, better OS)?
Torn between this Sony and the Google Nexus 7. I'm sure by the time I decide, the Sony at Woot will be sold out though.
schni wrote:Why buy this rather than the Nexus 7 (same price, better OS)?
Ok, apples and pears, sort of: Nexus 7 is 16GB at this price, and it's 7"
Still sounds better to me, though.

shawnstimson wrote:Anyone know if this proprietary charger is the same one that is used for the PSP, Sony E-reader, and/or other Sony devices?
As far as I know, it's completely unique to this device.
I have a PS3, had a PSP and currently own a Vita. Their cords do not match this device.

Get both!! This tablet is $498 elsewhere. That will leave you $239. The 8GB Nexus is $199, leaving you $40 to boot!!!
Had I not just recently taken delivery on a refurb Motorola Xoom, I would seriously consider this. Love my Xoom though!

I'm not really asking if a plethora of file formats are supported, what I am talking about is Cinavia stopping the audio playback, about 20 min in, on ANY file format that is converted from a BluRay. I convert all my movies to 720p MP4 H.264 files to use on portable devices or stream to my various TVs. The Green Hornet, Wrath of the Titans & Project X all are Cinavia files that I can think of where the PS3 will kill the audio because of Cinavia[in any file format] and I would like to know if this will as well.
I think you are absolutely correct... I'm in for 1!

I've never encountered this problem. I have Blu-Ray converted h264 files for LOTR, and beyond some fairly large file sizes, no issues have popped up.

I have a Sony Netbox on my tv (like a roku and has a USB). Do these work together in any way?
Just took a glance in the August issue of Consumer Reports and this guy is not only a recommended model but also a "CR Best Buy" (recommended models that stand out for low price). It earned a score of 80/100 when the top competitor in its class, the iPad, had an 84/100. Seems like a great buy.

A little more info:
That was for the 16GB model, comes w/Ice Cream Sandwich and a price of $350. The Sony scored 10th out of 13 tablets in the 9-10 inch range. All tablets in this range were recommended but only the Sony was a Best Buy.
And oh yea, the reviews were created before the Nexus 7 (Nexus 7 was NOT included in the ratings).
Convinced me! Early Christmas for the wife. And got free shipping with my Jumbowoot coupon.
Quick question to the masses, TT, anyone else... It's been a while since my last purchase, and I noticed I never was asked to input my credit card 3-digit security code. Did that change with the new-ish format of the woot! family sites?? Hoping my order went through...

I tried that (installing Flash apk and using Firefox Aurora) but Flash was still clunky and the SiriusXM app (which uses Flash) would still not run - I guess as expected as the Flash "fix" is supported browser based.
I have this tablet, minus the cradle, and I absolutely love it. It's a great tablet in general, and I like the feel of it better than the first generation iPads my kids use. The fact that you can put a memory card in it makes it the winner, in my opinion.
Can somebody please provide a squaretrade coupon code?

Here are some things you need to know(some of which is already in the product description):
-It uses full size SD cards.
-It is very comfortable to hold for hours due to the wedge shape. Far more comfortable than any of the "slate" type tablets such as an iPad/Galaxy Tab, etc.
-Due to the comfortable form factor, it feels extremely light. It weighs a couple grams less than an iPad2.
-The battery life is decent.
-The only way to easily get content on here is with an SD reader or a wireless transfer program like Wifi Explorer Pro, Allshare, etc.
-It has an annoying proprietary charger
-IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY CAPACITIVE STYLUS. They use a crushed mineral glass that interferes. Your fingers will be read perfectly, styli will be glitchy and the cursor will "jump" randomly.
-The screen has Sony TruBlack technology. It's pretty nice, but kind of dim.
-This tablet has an ICS upgrade(or ships with ICS) and it runs fairly well. The upgrade is modified, not stock. I use Nova Launcher on mine
Overall, I am happy with this tablet. I honestly hope Sony keeps this design and bumps up the hardware specs. I would buy the sequel in a heartbeat.
This is definitely worth the price listed. If I didn't have it already, I'd definitely pick one up.
If you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll try and clear things up for you!
Question: Is there a work around for the lack of HDMI out?
danbooke2001 wrote:1) I don't think so, as the USB "out" on this looks to be a micro usb, the charging cable for the PS3 remote is a full USB to mini if I am not mistaken.
2) The remotes are bluetooth, so as long as you're allowed to turn your electronics on after the light goes off, I don't see why not.
There is a usb adapter and this is a fully functioning USB port. Yes PS controllers work and a whole host of other USB products not just sony.

This has IR as well as bluetooth so you can control TV's stereos, etc.
xerxestwd wrote:As far as I know, it's completely unique to this device.
I have a PS3, had a PSP and currently own a Vita. Their cords do not match this device.
That's a bummer. Thanks for the reply though!
neogoddess wrote:Would this work on Verizon hotspot or whatever they call it? I just lost my iphone and wonder if its worth paying for a new one, or maybe getting a tablet and seeing how much it costs to connect that. I rarely use my iphone as a phone and would be happy with a cheapo flip phone if there is a reasonably cheap way to connected a tablet to the internet.
I use my tablet at hotspots all the time. So yes, this may be a nice alternative to a fancy internet phone if you don't make too many phone calls. Just remember, it's not as small and you won't have access to the internet when you're not covered by a wifi network.
Gave in and got one (even though I already have a N7). Probably be using it as a digital picture frame/clock/weather with the cradle.
Any current owners of this tablet know if this adapter will work to enable hdmi connection to a TV?
Sony is not on the list, but the list may NOT be all inclusive.
Does this tablet have 'MHL' (Mobile High-definition Link)?
cutier33 wrote:Does the cradle charge the tablet or just allow it to sit up nicely?
It does charge it.
This sounds like a rogue app(s) issue, or maybe even an ICS update gone bad. I'd reset the device to factory settings (erase data and all) and try again before giving this kind of review. If they did try that first, then my apologies.
Background: I'm an avid Android user and developer.
joecooool wrote:For what its worth, a three year warranty is pointless on something that will be obsolete in 18 months.
It still pays back 100 pct of your purchase price, and if technology is moving to more for less, you easily can replace with equal or better using the $$.
Congrats to Woot for finally posting a sale worth going after. This $260 investment will give my wife a taste of tablet life, and prove whether or not an iPad is worth it, while giving me a cool remote control, convenient tablet to put in the living room for guests to use, etc. Best sale in years!
A great Deal it is.....!
I decided at this price I will get one; I think this will make a good alarm clock, replacing my Sony Dash. Can I add Square trade after I completed my order. Meant to add it?
Wow i've been holding out on this tablet for sometime cause the price is too high but this is AWESOME. And just in time for a bday present to myself. MINE!

Pelosi holds secret fundraiser with Islamist groups | The Daily Caller
This needs to get out into the mainstream media asap.....
GEE....I wonder why they had to do it secretly?
The Frikkn Mulslim BRotherhood.....nice group!
Why would any American sit down with these scumbags jihad groups who support sharia law?
Oh wait....It was Nancy "Stinky bum" Pelosi?....that explains EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Listen! Listen to the sound of crickets.
If you read something from Daily Caller, red flags should fly as the whole story is seldom reported..
There is a segment of our population who seek to demonize certain people, because of their affiliations.. CAIR is a frequent target of the hard right.. perhaps the FBI and CIA should be notified of this activity..
BTW this fundraiser was not secret, if you paid you could attend... it was hosted by Keith Ellison and Andre Carson... Daily Caller is parroting islamophobia of the hard right...
We NEED Islamaphobia/sharia-phobia....to an extent anyway.
More anti-semitic blood money flowing in to the Democrat party. I also wonder how many US soldiers have died because of CAIR money.

Never be surprised at what that "Rich Old Bag Pelosi" will come up with, she is one of the most partisian ruthless vermin in politics today.
A whole lot fewer that those young men and women who died because of Bush's lies....
CAIR is an Islamist group now?
Yes, the DailyCaller (what an irrelevant paper first of all) is so desperate they're portraying the nation's largest Islamic-American organization as being a terrorist group.
'Ties with Hamas, Islamists'
Show me the money first, honey. CAIR is a legitimate organization.
Often the organizations are legit ... some of the people in them not exactly.
CAIR is absolutely in bed with Hamas.
Of course since Hamas' goal is to kill as many Jews as possible, I can see how to you they're "legitimate".
Of course I'm not surprised Pelosi was the same ***** that put a member of CAIR on the anti-semitic task force.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk 2
Democrats have a John in their party.
Would it be legit to go and call the Democrats a party with links to prostitution abroad?
At the end of May 2010, the number of American fatalities was reported to have reached 1,000. By September 2012, the total number passed 2,000. More than two-thirds of those deaths have occurred since the American military presence in Afghanistan was doubled under President Barack Obama in 2009.
I want you to read his post carefully and consider what you replied with again.
You haven't proven anything about your assertion.
However, since you advocate death to all Muslims I guess I can't expect any better from you.
Apples and oranges Doc ... a horrible comparison.
If you think none of those people have indirect links to terrorists then there's nothing left to the discussion IMO - I don't buy it - then again I've never met a politician I trusted either.
How is it apples and oranges? I haven't seen any proof of anyone having ties to Hamas, etc, let alone the fact that an organization with a bad apple does not a terrorist group make.
A large political organization can't be defined by the actions of a member.
You can start with the FBI:
Council on American
There's more on that site and elsewhere.
Hm, that does seem pretty suspicious. But again, if you note, it's mostly guilt by association.
You can't hold an organizations liable for its donators, really. The responses page eased my distaste someone but I remain a little worried of any politician willing to take the hit of associating with an admirably shady organization.
So, I dont know to be honest. Guess I'll excuse myself of this one.
It is also self edited as is everything in Wikipedia..
The issue with CAIR is that the half wits.. Pam Geller, Robert Spence and Michelle Bachman are on that bandwagon, as are a bunch of other extremists who love to breed hysteria...
This may provide more context..
Fact Checker - The King hearings: Is CAIR a 'terrorist organization'?
You really do not know the truth about them, but the premise of this thread is that it was somehow some secret rundraiser that Pelosi attended is false.... America has a long history of demonizing those they do not understand.
Separate names with a comma.

How Caregiving Can Affect You
In This Article:
Each of us reacts differently to any situation. And so it is with caregiving. Be prepared to experience a wide range of emotions, from anger, guilt, sadness, and frustration to fulfillment, joy, and compassion. Some days will be like a rollercoaster, your emotions thrusting you from high to low in no time at all. You'll have these feelings toward not only your parent, but also other family members. So many caregivers report that they become frustrated with the lack of understanding and support from other family members, especially siblings. Just know that it is normal for you to experience such a wide range of emotions. The goal, however, is to achieve some balance and home in on the emotions that are healthy for you.
The National Family Caregivers Association's national profile of caregivers found that 67 percent of caregivers felt frustration while nearly 40 percent felt sad and anxious. Half of all caregivers experienced back pain, sleeplessness, and depression.
Walking in somebody else's shoes always gives you a better appreciation of what someone's going though and why that person behaves the way he or she does. Suffering from a chronic, debilitating condition has both physical and mental consequences. The more you understand the nature of your dad's condition(s) and how this affects his emotional well-being can take the sting out of his anger or frustration that he displaces on you.
Knowing the different stages of Alzheimer's, the clinical signs of depression, or the behavioral complications of Parkinson's will give you a heads-up on why Dad acts the way he does. It also reassures you that this isn't personal. The parent-child relationship is often wrought with unresolved conflicts. So, if you don't understand what's really going on, your dad's offensive behavior can open an old wound. There you are--tired, stressed-out, feeling unappreciated--and here he is hurting you, just like years past. Bang. Now you're angry. You react. He picks up on your agitation and things quickly spiral out of control. You need help in dealing with the situation.
Getting Help
I love those disclaimers after Superman that tell kids "don't try this at home." There should be a similar disclaimer that comes with caring for aging parents: "Don't do this alone." You'll be surprised at how quickly you can become isolated from family and friends. You'll start to feel that it's easier to just do things yourself. Or your parent will become so dependent upon you, that he or she never wants you to leave.
Grandma called me her "manager." She'd tell the doctors, the adult day care staff, and her adult grandchildren that they would have to go through her manager. We all thought it was pretty endearing, but she also reached a point where no one else but her manager could take care of her. This became especially tough when my baby was born. For a while, I tried to do it all. But caring friends pulled me aside to help me get some balance. I brought in a nurse's aide to help during the day. The few times I did go out when the baby got older, I had to bring in two separate caretakers. Many caregivers will tell you that they give up trying to go out and "have a life" because it's too much of a hassle getting help.
So before you find yourself caught up in a vicious cycle, search for help right away and set up a support system. Your parent can survive a few hours and even days without you. Let's look at some of the ways you can enlist help.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The NBA fined Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Jennings $5,000 Tuesday for a second violation of the league's anti-flopping rule during the previous night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jennings was called for a flop during the fourth quarter of Detroit's 116-111 win over the Bucks on Monday. He had previously received a warning from the league following a game against Houston on Dec. 21.
The five-year pro is the sixth player to be fined by the NBA since the anti- flopping rule was put into effect this season.

If you're like thousands of other visitors who love Vermont's food and food philosophy, a visit to Shepherd's Hill Farm in Taftsville is a great way to learn more.
The morning meal is an important part of staying at a bed-and-breakfast (after all, it is half of the deal). But rather than simply reading a menu, guests at Shepherd's Hill Farm can have a personal hand in getting their meal from Pasture to plate. "A lot of parents that come here want their kids to see where their food comes from," said Ellen Terie, who owns and runs Shepherd's Hill Farm, a 36-acre farm and B & B in Taftsville.
This family friendly inn is just the place to learn.
Just steps from the farmhouse kitchen, guests can enter a wooden henhouse and collect fresh eggs. Off the back porch, a garden offers vegetables such as zucchini and tomatoes and herbs for savory omelet fillings. In the nearby pasture, 40 lambs provide a supply of meat for sage-flecked sausage. Even the honey used in meals comes from the farm's bees.
Opportunities for hands-on involvement vary with the seasons, but nearly always include collecting eggs and feeding hay to farm animals. In spring, for instance, when sheep are giving birth, guests can feed baby lambs with a bottle and even witness the birth of a lamb! In summer, chores include herding sheep, sorting lambs and harvesting vegetables. Fall brings lots of activities and winter preparations, from spinning down and jarring honey to picking apples.

I have seen several Android and iOS software projects that use the headphone jack to receive signal, instead of only outputting signal as is the usual purpose of the jack. For example:
I need to know how to do the same on a Lumia phone. Does anyone know of any code samples or documentation on how to capture an audio signal coming in to the headphone jack?
Note, I am not talking about the typical use of playing signal (music, sounds, etc.) out the headphone jack. I want to receive signals from the device connected to the headphone jack, which is the opposite direction of the usual signal flow for the jack. I have seen Android and iOS remote control apps that use the headphone jack in a bi-directional manner, and I want to do the same on a Windows 8 Phone. I need to be able to capture an audio signal coming in to the phone. I will then decode the pulses in the audio signal to extract the data I am looking for from that signal.
The fact that Square now has an app on Windows phone indicates that what I want to do is possible since their card reader attaches to the phone's headphone jack:
I just need to know the technique involved.

Jonny Walker's "Last Call" — Beer, Bluesapalooza, blues and my dad
August 13, 2012
Jonny Walker
I wandered through the labyrinth of trees at Sam's Woodsite last weekend to the beat of the music.
Never would I expect to be in the same place at the same time with my dad, grooving to blues.
When I arrived, I meet my roommate for a beer at bar #1. We got our Mammoth Brewing Co. apocalypse brew, and returned to the flowing conversation with friends. My mind was now at taking sip and sip of the golden liquid of life.
When I agreed to be a volunteer for the event, I never knew how fun it could be. I guess there's truth in the saying, "The best things in life you do for free." Maybe you think its remedial but I don't take it for granted. No matter what madness you might be enduring, you can always find your peace.
While working on the lights and sound setup on the main stage, I had the opportunity to meet some rock 'n' roll guys in the business. West Pacific Sound from Bakersfield is a solid operation. They establish order out of the chaos that event productions can be.
When all said and done, that stage at Bluesapalooza killed it in terms of quality sound—a complete, professional operation.
I was impressed to see not only people I knew, but people from all over the state and beyond who came to visit not only for the great music, but, naturally, for the beer.
The crowd at Bluesapalooza wildly ranged in ages. Perhaps the blues brought in my dad's crowd, and the beer brought in mine.
It don't matter. Everyone was there to have a good time.
The lineup of musicians was stacked for the long weekend. Johnny Winter Band and Edgar Winter group tag-teamed the main stage on Friday night. Joe Louis Walker, Leslie West, Betty LaVette, and many more were just vibrating with awesomeness as they took their turn on the mic.
And the venue was packed. Families, friends, and newly found romances joined together to create a humming, sing along group of viewers.
When you waited in line for a hot, powder-sugared funnel cake, people danced all around you. Talk about energy galore.
I could hear people singing at the top of their lungs as favorite classic jams flew across the air. It took me a while to find my friends because there were so many people.
Good thing I always had a beer. The brews offered during the weekend were so refreshing on the lips, I replaced consumed beers with full ones as quickly as I could.
If you didn't make it to this year's event, shame on you.
Make sure to pre-purchase your tickets for the 18th annual event next August (always the first weekend). I promise you, it will be just as sweet as this year.
Up Next
This coming weekend, get your sombreros out because it's gonna be tequilarific.
The Mammoth Margarita festival is coming across the border for the first time this summer. This salt-rimmed event will be held in the Village at Mammoth.
The event starts on Friday (today) with a margarita bar serving blended or on the rocks margaritas until 6 p.m. Tequila and margarita tastings are Saturday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
With that there will be tapas style food and lots of great music, too. You just can't go wrong.
See you there. Ciao…
