The Masterpiece series "Downton Abbey" has become a surprise hit, providing millions of Americans with a Sunday-night escape to a more elegant era. As a side benefit, "Downton Abbey" also happens to teach some valuable lessons about money.
In a way, the show is all about money: the contrast between the haves and the have-nots, the role money plays in marriage and the struggles of wealthy people to hang onto their money. Here are four key financial lessons to take from "Downton Abbey."
1. Don't tie up too much wealth in illiquid assets
Downton Abbey is the name of the massive estate inhabited by the Crawley family. The land and buildings are no doubt worth a large amount of money, but the estate also requires a healthy cash flow because of its large staff, upkeep for opulent furnishings and regular high-society functions. Robert Crawley, the head of the family, has already had to marry into money to retain Downton Abbey, and as the series goes on, the financial challenge of hanging onto the estate is an ongoing source of tension.
In the modern day, too many people have this problem, albeit on a much smaller scale. If you cut your budget too closely when buying a house, so that every available dollar goes into the mortgage, you'll find yourself
caught short at the very first emergency. Unless you too have the option of marrying into money, you may well find yourself without the cash flow necessary to maintain your most valuable asset.

They Softened It
I liked this movie quite a bit, but parts of it also disappointed me. Basically, they made Batman a little less crazy, and they made the news and public overall a little too pro-Batman. Warning, below there will be some spoilers for the film and comic both.
I don't know, in the comic, things were ambiguous. The people supporting Batman were prejudiced and were prone to violent vigilantism, while the people who were anti-Batman were calloused and selfish, but both sides had very valid points amongst their arguments. In the movie, they softened things just a little, but it's still jarring. "I think he should go after the homos next" becomes "He should go after my landlord next". That small example affects the entire tone. Before, that guy was a little hostile, and his previously spot on and very positive assessment of Batman's return becomes tainted when you realize what kind of person he really is, deep down. In the movie, his homophobia is traded in for frustration with a possibly corrupt figure that many people can relate to(the frustration, not the corrupt figure.). This subtle and simple change is really small, but it's really important.
And it was clear that the media was somewhat nervous and threatened by this new force, but also couldn't wait to sensationalize the hell out of what was going on. That's why stories of Batman-related tragedies were put up all over the news, while good things weren't 'important' enough to report on. However in the movie, the only event was the good event(a shop keeper beating up two guys who were robbing a woman outside his store.). They cut out the shooting in the Batman-themed porno theater(I love Frank Miller), and they cut out the special needs man who was shot by his boss after trying to stand up for himself(and wearing a Bat costume to give himself confidence.). Without these stories put in, it feels like the media is A-Ok with The Gramp Knight's antics. With the media being positive and supportive of Batman and the effect he has on the city, it somehow feels less important that he's come back. He's King Leonidas being welcomed back into Sparta, he's a hero sorely missed by his people. And while that's nice and all, it's not as dire as a city rejecting its savior, so lost that they don't even remember what they were trying to find in the first place. Fallen so deep into darkness that the light burns their flesh and blinds their eyes. Without the fear of the city and the media and government's fear of this new threat, it just feels like Batman on another adventure.
It was also clear in the comic that Batman coming back was as much a bad thing as it was good. He was ruining things, and things were getting exasperated in response to him. In the comic, Joker snapped out of his comatose state because he kept seeing Batman on the news. He's the person who rigged Two-Face's bombs to blow, not Two-Face's 'death wish' that only appears in the movie. The comic made you wonder if Batman maybe should have stayed retired, even for all the good he's doing. And I just didn't get that sense from the movie, it felt that Batman was a good thing, and that's it. That's how it felt, anyway. But I freely admit it was great despite those problems. It really was damn good.

Retail sales below expectations in May

Retail sales below expectations in May
June 13, 2014 – May retail sales numbers were lower than expected, despite increasing by 0.3 percent since April,
to NAFCU Senior Economist Curt Long.
Long analyzed data from the Census Bureau for a NAFCU
Macro Data Flash
. Long said the relatively small amount of growth was "balanced against the sizable upward revisions to the April estimate. Overall, retail sales continue to show solid year-over-year gains." April's numbers were revised upward to an increase of 0.5 percent; May's year-over-year retail sales growth was 4.2 percent.
Long also said that "monthly gains were led by strong vehicle sales as Memorial Day weekend incentives helped lure buyers." Motor vehicle stores saw the biggest increase in May with 1.4 percent growth, followed by non-store retailers at 0.6 percent and furniture and home furnishings stores at 0.5 percent. General merchandisers and clothing and accessories stores saw sales decreases of 0.6 percent each.
Core retail sales, excluding light vehicles and gasoline, did not measurably change in May, while auto and gas sales increased by 1 percent.

Any 6800's out there with "exhaust" ports?
I dont mind a two PCI slot design at all if the second is used to expel air from the case. With 6800's as hot as they are something like this would be ideal.
No they do not come retail with an exhaust fan. The fan on the vid card sucks in air to blow over the gpu and that air escapes around the PCB. Ideally, you would have at least one(or two is better) GOOD case exhaust
fan(s) not too far above where the agp slot is on the back of the case.
These cards do not get overly hot. Normal opperating temps are usually no higher then 80-90C under FULL load. If that does concern you, there are MODs that some places offer to use a modified plate on the 6800 slot piece to use for an exhaust. However, it takes the user to cut the 6800 U plate in half using a saw or dremel tool. ALso, its much easier to get something like a vanted dual fan pci card.

Infuse , my favorite video player on iOS, has been updated with some highly anticipated features, including AirPlay, TV out (with HDMI/VGA adapter), WiFi file transfers and more. Besides being able to play most popular video formats – thus saving you the time of first converting into MP4 format – and its beautiful interface, Infuse lets users easily download subtitles right from within the app and also integrates trakt.tv (keep track of all the movies and shows you've watched with a free account). Personally I've been waiting for AirPlay support since the app released and thankfully, streaming to an Apple TV works flawlessly from what I've seen so far. There have been no lags or video/audio quality issues with the dozen or so files I've tested. The only downer is that subtitles are disabled once AirPlay is enabled. Fear not though, as FireCore has just mentioned to me that this is something they're working on and hoping to implement in the next update in 2-3 weeks.
Infuse is a free update for existing users and costs $4.99 on the App Store. More info after the gap.
Write for Dropbox, an intuitive writing app with a slick interface, is now free for the iPhone after the release of its iPad version. Using Dropbox to sync all your work, the app opens to a blank note so you can quickly jot down your ideas or notes quickly. You'll also find an extra row of convenient keys above the keyboard that provides shortcuts to popular Markdown syntax. And aside from the host of sharing options available, one of my favorite little features is the cursor trackpad that lets you easily move the cursor around the screen and select desired text.
A little over a week after Apple announced that the 45 billion App Store downloads mark had been passed (which took just over 4 months to get from 40 to 45 billion), the count down for 50 Billion downloads has begun. As with the previous grand giveaways, the lucky person who downloads the 50 billionth app will win a $10,000 App Store Gift Card. But as an added twist, the next 50 iOS users to download an app will also score a $500 Gift Card. In other words, the contest will end after the 50,000,000,050th app has been downloaded. For the complete details, head over to the 50 Billion Downloads page on iTunes, where you'll also find the Top 25 Paid/Free iPhone and iPad apps of all time.
GAMEVIL, best known for their RPGs and having just released the anticipated Diablo-like dungeon crawler Dark Avenger, is now offering a handful of their "Retro" iOS games for $0. From the fun and casual titles like Air Penguin and KAMI RETRO, to the popular JRPG series ZENONIA (parts 1 through 3), a good selection GAMEVIL games can now be downloaded completely free – for a limited time. Check out the complete freebie links after the break.
Konami's recently released PowerPros 2013 World Baseball Classic for iPhone has dropped to free for a limited time (previously $4.99). This is the second instalment on iOS following POWER PROS TOUCH and the game is based on the popular baseball series from Japan - Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū. PowerPros 2013 features 2 game modes (exhibition and championship) and you get to choose from 16 "world" teams, which pack over 400 of the worlds best players. If you're a fan of this long running baseball video game series or just baseball games in general, be sure to grab this one while it's still free.
Google Now has been available to Android phones for several months now, and it has finally arrived for the iPhone and iPad. Described as "the right information at just the right time", Google Now is the latest feature found within the Google Search app. Once you sign into your Gmail account, "Cards" will appear at the bottom that provide helpful info like local weather, currency conversion when travel abroad, traffic conditions to your next likely destination, sports scores, flight status and much more.
Thinking of buying a new iMac, Macbook, iPhone or iPad, but don't exactly want to pay the full retail price found on launch day? Dealnews has analyzed over a year's worth of Apple deals to help buyers with when to buy a Mac, or more specially, when they can expect to find the best discounts on Apple hardware. Here's the quick rundown:
Since Apple doesn't normally slash prices on their iDevices (save for perhaps Boxing day and Black Friday), the best places to find discounts are resellers like MacMall, Amazon and even the Apple eBay store (certified refurbished products). Check out the infographic after the break.
CARROT, the quirky todo list "with a personality", has received its next major update (V3.0) and adds three most-requested features from its users: the ability to set reminders/due dates, repeating tasks and Siri Integration (have Siri add tasks into CARROT for you). But since this is not your ordinary todo app, these first have to be unlocked by actually completing tasks on your list (mark tasks as completed, score points and level up). Think of it as an incentive to get productive. Just don't expect it be as complex as Things (TMA Review) or OmniFocus; it was designed to be fast, simple and most of all, fun to use. CARROT is now free for a day as well, so grab it for your iPhone, unlock all the goodies and get busy.
SEGA has dropped prices on a number of their Sonic themed games for the weekend to just a dollar, and they include Sonic CD, Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Ep. II (both of which were $4.99) and Sonic Dash. Titles from from other publishers – both big and small – have also knocked off a few bucks off their games. Most of the deals are likely good through Monday, so have a look at the full list of app sales after the break.

News for hikersWritten by Admin
Public invited to Graveyard Fields hike
Haywood Waterways will lead a free hike in Graveyard Fields on Saturday, May 23, that will explore the headwaters of the Pigeon River.
Graveyard Fields is a high mountain valley located at 5,000 feet and is surrounded by several peaks over 6,000 feet. This area once supported dense spruce and fir forests but heavy logging in the early 1900s — followed by a devastating fire — left much of the soil infertile.
The event is part of Haywood Waterways "Get to Know Your Watershed" series of outdoor hikes, lectures and paddle tours. Haywood Waterways works to maintain and improve the waterways of Haywood County through education, public events, and partnerships that bring technical and financial resources to restore degraded waterways.
Interested hikers should meet at the Jukebox Junction Soda Shoppe at 9 a.m. to carpool and will depart sharply at 9:15 a.m. The hike will conclude by 1:30 p.m. Hike is considered moderate in difficulty. Bring lunch and light refreshments will be provided by Haywood Waterways. Carpooling encouraged due to limited parking.
Keep Smokies' trails going
Trail-loving volunteers are wanted to join the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Adopt-a-Trail and Trails Forever programs.
Adopt-a-Trail volunteers help maintain the park's 800 miles of trail and are expected to patrol their section at least four times per season. Duties include removing litter, cleaning out drainage systems, removing brush, maintaining trail tread and removing illegal fire rings.
Trails Forever volunteers — both skilled an non-skilled — work alongside National Park Service crews on a wide range of projects, with the park providing all necessary tools and gear. Work days are held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays through October, starting May 20.

Why they're Green: Since they're so durable and made of wood, these toys can last for generations as opposed to getting broken and tossed into a landfill. Even better: many of the toys are wooden, recycled or made of other natural products. That way if your little one is in the midst of that "everything must go in the mouth!" phase, like mine is, you don't have to worry that something toxic is going into the mouth.... read more
The Blue Economy, 10 years, 100 innovations, 100 million jobs is a phenomenal book I have been reading lately by Gunter Pauli, founder of Ecover, and The Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives organization. The philosophy behind the book is the recognition and emulation of the interconnectedness of the five kingdoms of nature. Pauli presents an alternative economic system where human processes are modeled after natural systems, and work with nature, rather than against her. ... read more

To continue my "ban the bag saga," here is a Company profile on ChicoBag, my personal favorite in the reusable bag sector. Why its Keen:
ChicoBag has a very inspirational start-up story: "In early 2004, Andy Keller, now ChicoBag™ president, took a trip to his local landfill after spending the day landscaping his backyard. He was horrified by what he saw. Single-use bags were the dominant article at the landfill that day, blanketing the landscape in a thin mix of white and beige plastic. On his way home he began to notice plastic bags everywhere, caught in trees and on fence posts, half drowned in gutter puddles and blowing in the streets like urban tumbleweeds. That day Andy vowed to stop using single-use bags. Inspired, Andy dropped a few bucks on a second hand sewing machine and began sewing what would ultimately become the first ChicoBag™ brand reusable bag."... read more
I love Costco. I get my eye exams there, I love their Kirkland organic peanut-butter, I greedily accept all of their free samples, and I even own lots of clothes from there. They also are known to treat their employees well and they also tend to donate money to Democratic candidates. That's why I was so disappointed to hear about all of the unsustainable fish they sell. Unsustainable fish includes Chilean sea bass, orange roughy, grouper, and more. AND, AND, AND...they tell their shareholders that they support sustainable seafood! Bad Costco!
Greenpeace has launched a website and campaign to urge Costco to stop selling those types of unsustainable seafood. With the amount of food that Costco sells coupled with the number of locations they have, if they stop selling those varieties of fish it will really make a big difference with the over-fishing problems.... read more

Curious.. How long did everyone take to learn to drive ? :D
You really never stop learning Steven! :p015:
Joking aside, I learned fairly quickly [around 6 months before I passed my test if I recall]. This was mainly due to the fact that I had already passed my test on a motor scooter earlier....I was one of the Mods in the 60`s and my scooter was adorned with loads of chrome and mirrors etc....think Quadrophinia [sp?] and that`s about it!
Errrmmmm six months? That was the term of the learner's permit. Had to have the first one for six months before you could get your real license.
I was a whole year!:ashamed008:
Just a few weeks! I HATED having driving lessons, all the "do it this way" stuff made me grrrrrrrrrr so I had double lessons and anything I could do to get it over with. I'd been practising for months beforehand though in Mum's car so it wasn't exactly JUST a few weeks I supposeOriginally Posted by Steven, post: 30911
I took the test and was sooooo nervous my foot was shaking. The lady examiner was very strict and not in the least friendly and we had a few erm, interesting instances along the way I felt I was doing great then we went into a really old industrial estate thing with overgrown mossy roads and lots of unmarked crossroads. One of them I just didnt see because of the hedges and she stopped the car using the second set of brakes and started scribbling. I thought ok great thats that then :rolleyes008:
Later we went onto this busy road and she said back into that road there. Well there was a sweeping corner and a load of warehouses behind it, and limited visibility round the corner. As I started to back up verrrrry slowly, then a huge truck appeared round the corner and whizzed past beeping. Then another, then another, then another I just about managed to do it after that.
Then after being totally messed up by all that we went along the road and she said "ok when I hit the dashboard with my clipboard I want you to break as you would in an emergency, the next thing you hear will be that instruction...... STOP" and there was literally just a couple of seconds gap. so that rattled me
We get back and she said "Im pleased to inform you that you've passed" well I couldnt really believe it. Worst drive of my life either before OR since. After a few seconds I thought well Im not sure what to say now, we both know it was an awful drive so I think perhaps I'll try and explain that I know it wasnt great so I said "erm do you have any advice for me, things I could/should improve?" and she turned to me and with this really withering glare said coldly "if I thought THAT then I would not have passed you" got out and walked off
Not the best day of my life I must admit

I hated learning as well, or rather I coudn't stand my instructor :rolleyes008:He used to make me stop at petrol stations so he could get sweets! He was a rather large man and therefore I learnt to drive in a massive Nissan Bluebird!
I had my first lesson on my 17th birthday in the Nov and passed in the June at the second attempt. I was so nervous at my first test that my feet kept slipping off the pedals.
LOL! Slowhand! I was referring to my having learned. When I was learning one had to get a learner's permit and have it for six months before taking the test for the actual license.
My Da taught me to drive. I was pretty intimidated by him, and did everything exactly as he said. He told me when he shouted stop! I was to stop immediately. I asked if he meant for me to slam on the brakes, and he said I should respond as if a child had run out in front of me. Soooo, when he shouted STOP! I slammed those brakes to the FLOOR. He flew out of his seat (pre seatbelt days) and "fetched himself right up against the windshield!" I was horrified, but he laughed uproariously and said I had great reflexes. Whew. Scary day.

US troops killed in Afghanistan and Africa
"He was definitely a hard-charger; he was motivated to do everything," Walton said.
"I think he was pretty excited actually to go over to Afghanistan."
Sigley, 28, of Richmond, Ky., died April 18 in Bagram, Afghanistan. Kentucky National Guard Lt. Col. Kirk Hilbrecht said Sigley's bunk mates found him dead in his bed one morning. The military is investigating his death.
Sigley graduated from Marion County High School in 2000 and then joined the Marine Corps in 2000. He had served a tour in Afghanistan with the Marines during that time.
Hilbrecht said Sigley had initially been assigned to a cargo vehicle but was given a special assignment to a mine-resistant vehicle known as an MRAP because of his "dedication to his unit."
Among Sigley's survivors are his mother, stepfather and sister.
Marine Lance Cpl. Curtis M. Swenson
At Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester, Minn., Curtis Swenson is remembered as a "quiet leader" and a good listener who befriended younger kids in the youth group.
Swenson was active in that group and enjoyed the outdoors - hunting, camping, fishing and skiing. He also was one of the Bethel Believers, the church softball team for which he had belted a grand slam in his last performance, along with another homer.
"If he was around friends, he always had a good sense of humor and was able to make a lot of people laugh," Bethel youth director Michael Beckmann said.
Swenson, 20, of Rochester, was killed by an explosive April 2 in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was assigned to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and had served in Iraq in 2008.
Friends posting on a Facebook page said they had admired Swenson as a man and as a Marine.
He had enlisted in 2007, the year he graduated from Rochester Mayo High School. In class, Swenson was well-liked and a good student, Principal Tim Dorway said.
Survivors include his wife, Katie; parents, Dave and Kay Swenson; and his younger sister, Emily.
Air Force Maj. Randell D. Voas
Randell "Randy" Voas had talked as a youngster about becoming a podiatrist, but when he settled on a career, it turned out that his days at the office would be spent in the sky.
He flew Apache helicopters for the Army before switching to the Air Force. In his free time, he stayed closer to earth, skiing and running marathons.
"Randy was just one of those guys that was always there," said Steve Lyngdal, a friend, fellow runner and former classmate at Eden Prairie High School in Eden Prairie, Minn. "He was solid and steady."
His father, Dwaine, said Voas was a dedicated pilot and family man with a dry sense of humor and "a stare that could stop a dime."
The 43-year-old from Lakeville, Minn., was one of two airmen who died April 9 near Kandahar, Afghanistan, when their aircraft crashed. He was assigned to Hurlburt Field in the Florida Panhandle.
He had joined the Army after getting a biology degree from the University of Minnesota in 1989.

Letters: New vision for S.D. waterfront
I was excited by this article in Sunday's paper. Growing up around Seattle, I know how a waterfront can energize a city. It should be a resource that paints a beautiful face on your city, grows civic pride, while bringing tourism and local revenues. A place people want to be, whether arriving by boat, car or public transportation.
I have now lived in San Diego for 14 years. Everywhere I go, people tell me I live in the perfect city. While I agree, I know we get our acclaim from the weather, not from what the city and its constituents have done to enhance and embrace our valuable assets. Few cities have a waterfront, let alone one to grow and embrace. Ours is one that could breathe new life if given the chance.
We will need support by politicians, businesses and citizenry alike. And yes, it will cost money. But take the chance. Make it "ours," something we all want to use and be part of. It will make you proud of what you can accomplish. And, it will help keep us "America's Finest City." – Ralph Lindsay, Rancho Peñasquitos
I totally support your vision for a new football stadium in San Diego. That would be a world-class location only if access to and from the park is carefully engineered and constructed.
Dodger Stadium in downtown Los Angeles is a model of good vehicular access. Qualcomm Stadium, located at the confluence of the I-15 and I-8 freeways, is barely good due to the lack of direct access ramps. Petco Park is the worst and shows what a lack of planning and investment for transportation causes.
I, and most assuredly others, have abandoned Petco Park due to the extreme congestion caused by driving along downtown's signalized surface streets to and from the facility. The time lost in congestion is better spent watching the games on television. It eliminates stress, is better for my blood pressure and makes the game much more enjoyable. – Frank C Tecca, Escondido
This region needs leadership. Let's go. Don't forget the advantages for all threes college games for the Aztecs and bowl games also. – Jim Lundquist, San Diego
Finally! Yes! Someone with a vision!
As one who said at the time back in the early '80s when the first phase of the convention center was being built on the waterfront, "It will be obsolete by the time it's finished," my prediction, sadly, proved true. Since then it has been expanded twice and still it's not big enough with the costs escalating each year.
Now, after several decades of letting the politicians muck everything up, we finally have someone with clout, influence and imagination to think outside the box in laying out a master plan that can make San Diego the largest convention center city in the world while being paid off sooner than many might think considering the residuals such a concept would reap.
What Doug Manchester has proposed is genius and the best use of an area that has long been a sore thumb at the end of the south Embarcadero.

The extremists who killed James Foley are as brutal as they are Internet savvy
Thursday, August 21, 2014
Among the many disturbing aspects of the execution of journalist James Foley is the fact that it was part of a deliberate PR campaign. Groups like ISIS rely on hundreds of tech-savvy foreign fighters from the West to disseminate their radical vision — often with success.

Fresh Memory flash card software
When memorizing facts, learning, storing, and processing internalizes the subject matter. The Fresh Memory program offers various methods to help you anchor the facts in your memory.
In some situations, it's what you know that counts. Although "learning how to learn" has merit, knowing the right way to search for chemical elements on Google is of little use if you don't have local Internet access. The solution? Learning something by heart.
Modern educators might not prefer this method, but students rely on it nonetheless. To learn something by heart, you either need to read the facts repeatedly (drill and practice) or use a card file to help you memorize (spaced repetition). Fresh Memory offers both variants with the aid of virtual flash cards.
