GDP grows 3.2% in 4Q, 1.9% for year
David Carrier
Jan. 31, 2014 – NAFCU Chief Economist David Carrier said nonresidential investment, personal consumption and net exports all contributed to stronger than expected GDP growth of 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter, which followed a 4.1 percent increase in the third quarter.
Carrier analyzed data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis in a
Macro Data Flash
. He wrote, "A slowdown in residential investment and a decline in government spending, partially due to the October government shutdown, were both a drag on economic growth. Overall, the economy expanded at 1.9 percent in 2013. The economy is expected to improve over the next year as the labor market improves and fiscal headwinds subside."
Residential investment went down 9.8 percent while nonresidential investment increased 3.8 percent. Consumer spending went up 3.3 percent and government spending decreased 4.9 percent. Carrier also pointed out that the Federal Reserve Board's key inflation metric, core PCE inflation (personal consumption expenditures), excluding food and energy, decreased from 1.4 percent in the third quarter to 1.1 percent. Overall PCE inflation went down from 1.9 percent in the third quarter to 0.7 percent.
The NAFCU research department will analyze fourth quarter real gross domestic income and nominal corporate profit data in a future report, when the information is available.

text: The allure and glamour of movie stars has great appeal to collectors. Surprisingly, when movies began there were no movie stars. In the early 1900s during the Nickelodeon era it was almost impossible to get stage actors and actresses to work in the movies. Salaries were a mere $5-$10 a day and there was no prestige. Financiers controlled the movie industry and they made huge profits casting unknown people who used stage names.

The long-tailed tit is an adorable, small fluffy pinkish bird. It is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, and tail that is longer than its body. They are rarely seen alone and are usually noticed in small excitable flocks of half a dozen or more. This one was quite curious and I managed to get a couple of grab shots, whilst the rest of its family were noisily fighting over the peanuts which had been provided.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment on my chaffinch yesterday.
The LARGE version is the best option to view this little fella, if you can.

A first taste…
|12.14.08 at 10:24 am ET
Martins Karsums made his NHL debut on Saturday night, playing with Vladimir Sobotka and Shawn Thornton on the Bruins fourth line. He was Boston's second round pick in 2004. In the Juniors, he was a star for the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL (see the highlight clips below).
The 22-year-old right wing played eight minutes, 52 seconds, 10 shifts while blocking a shot and doling out two hits. But he did enough to impress coach Claude Julien on Saturday before being sent back down to Providence after the game.
"I thought he was good tonight. To me, he almost had a couple of goals there. He had two real good chances to score," Julien said.
Julien was asked if the team was sending him back down immediately.
"Have they announced that yet? Whether we're going to keep him or not? Well, he's going back. That's the official announcement from the coach," Julien said.
But don't be surprised if Karsums get another chance in the not-too-distant future.

Farmers, traders, and trade union leaders of Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts welcomed the State budget for not levying any new taxes.
S. Ranganathan, Secretary, Cauvery Delta Farmers Welfare Association, said every aspect of the need of the people had been taken care of in the State budget. "This is a good budget," he said.
Several schemes had been announced for the agriculture sector. The allocation for agriculture was Rs. 5,189 crore and Rs. 39.145 crore had been allocated for crop loans. A sum of Rs. 399 crore had been allocated for rejuvenation of tanks. This was a welcome move. However, a special scheme could be implemented for removing silt from the Mettur dam.
"The dam has to cleaned and the capacity is shrinking. Removing silt will help in getting an additional storage of 10 to 15 tmcft. It can be taken up as a special scheme," Mr. Ranganathan said.
Thrust was on precision farming and power generation. Precision farming would help Cauvery Mettur Project (CMP) area of Thanjavur district. Power generation projects should be implemented as per time schedule. They should be treated on priority.
Transport union happy
D. Mathivanan, general secretary of Tamil Nadu Government Transport Corporation Employees Union (Kumbakonam unit), said the transport corporation employees thanked Ms. Jayalalithaa for announcing Rs. 500 crore in the budget for meeting fuel expenses by transport corporations.
"We thank the Chief Minister for this and for presenting a tax-free budget," he said. He appealed to the government to take up the pension benefits of employees.
S. Prabhu, former Chairman, Builders' Association of India, Thanjavur, welcomed the move by the government to provide rice at Rs. 20 a kg in the open market by procuring one lakh tonnes of rice and selling through shops under co-operative sector.

Warning! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to Continue .... Virus?
Recently almost every time I try to open google, facebook or youtube I am diverted to a page which displays this message "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to Continue" in a pop up. The website I am diverted to looks like a the flash player website but is obviously fake. I stupidly clicked download and tried to install the download.
(I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8, running on Safari) When I tried to install it it opened up in text edit with loads of nonsense. I tried searching with ClamXav and many other Virus Searchers. I have tried restarting Safari. Deleting Cache. All Extensions turned off or uninstalled. I tried DNSChanger Removal Tool and Kapersky Flashfake Removal Tool.
So far I have not managed to get rid of the problem. How to I get rid of the potential phising/malware I have downloaded and correct my Safari?
I then completely re-installed Mac OS X on my laptop using the installation discs. I completely erased my whole hard drive and any partitions.
I ran Software Update and downloaded the latest Flash player from the real website.
I then had to restart my mac because of the software up dates....
Once restarted I see this first message pop up on my desktop saying "Adobe flash player is out of date. The version of Adobe flash player on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been disabled. To continue using flash player, download an updated version from adobe's website." with an option to "download flash" or "Cancel" so I click cancel.
I then install the real flash player which had been downloaded from the official site....
I then opened up safari and within 30 seconds of use the same 'Flash player pro' message popped up when I tried to go to google.com
I am completely stumped?!?! How is this affecting me after a completely new installation and wiped Hard drive?
Could this be something to do with my internet router?
I have a desktop PC at home also and yesterday 'once' something similar appeared talking about ' flash player pro'. But only once.
Thank you so much for any help ...
|Mar 9, 2014, 06:45 PM
download from adobe website, keep it up to date.
Recent updates were released, apple forced one of them.
|Mar 9, 2014, 07:38 PM
What I hate most about it, is that unless you have enabled automatic updates, which I haven't, when those frequent updates come, your flash player is unusable until you do the update. Adobe seems to be permanently preoccupied with plugging security vulnerabilities. Flash might need a whole new re-write from the ground up, if it ever hopes to become more secure, and less annoyingly functional.
But I don't think that's going to happen, and I can't wait until more and more sites are going to switch to HTML5. Sorry Adobe, Flash hasn't adapted to the mobile revolution, and doesn't measure up to today's standards for desktops either.
Due to my aversion to bragging and clichés, no words of wisdom to be found on this line.....

Here is how I would suggest dealing with this in the future.
Whenever you get a "warning" like this, dismiss it WITHOUT "accepting the install".
I would suggest you close your browser and all other applications.
Now, open System Preferences and click on the "Flash Player" tab.
Click on "Advanced".
Down where it says "Updates", click the "check now" button.
You will either get a window that says flash player is up to date, or
A window that says an update is available.
So... choose to update this way.
The Flash installer will download and install the update, and at the end of the process, it will offer you a choice (and you'll also have to re-enter your administrative password):
- Allow Adobe to install updates
- Notify me to install updates
- Never check for updates
I recommend that you choose option #2.
I don't like ANYTHING installing updates "behind my back", and that goes for Apple's software update as well.
If there's an update, I don't mind being notified, BUT, afterwards I will do the update MANUALLY, at my own discretion...

Just stop using sites that won't use HTML5, the sooner you do the quicker they get the message and drop flash. If you can't be assed then why should they

Hi, I've joined up to add some input on this as i have dealt with this a few times now.
chances are it's not your macbook at all, i would be looking at the router!
I have been called out on 2 occasions where all devices are doing this and it turned out the router had been hacked and all traffic directed though the DNS of a rogue server.
one way to check is to ping google.co.uk, the ip should be 188.8.131.52, if it's not then the chances are your router has been compromised.
The 2 routers in question were both TP-Link routers, one of which i had supplied and setup myself. I had (perhaps foolishly) left the default login as admin/admin and this had also been changed to stop me accessing.
A factory reset sorted things out and i made sure i had changed the default login and turned OFF remote administration.
hopefully this will be of help to people
|Mar 23, 2014, 01:27 AM
I think this is a global attack as i was experiencing same but it was not even my computter that has the problem as my iPhone connected to same network also pop up same warning, it is the router i later fixed it but resetting the router following the instruction i got on a site about the recent global attack here hope it helps you
|Mar 23, 2014, 02:07 AM
From the email that arn received the implication is that the router's password is changed?
If that's the case, simply checking it by logging in to your router should confirm that you have not been compromised?
I know I haven't but it could be a quick check if it's true.....IE: if you can access your router via your usual password you are okay?
Somebody should be able to confirm this.
Thats Not All Folks

It affects your Router not your computer
I faced the same problem 2 days back. I use windows. I also format my lappie twice. But when I tried to access other devices connected to router I got same issue.
Finally I changed my router DNS automatic to static. and its working perfectly fine now. Or you can also reset your router. I didn't do it as I am using IPTV and
I don't know its settings.

Terra Madre Day Special: A Christmas Toast to an Old Tradition
27 Nov 12
In the old mining town of in Røros in central Norway, many residents still live in the wooden houses and 17th and 18th century buildings that linger from its booming copper-mining days, and have led to the area's designation as a UNESCO world heritage site. But the town has another legacy that you may not read about in history books.
"It's a very old ritual in this area that every year before Christmas, families would make a traditional ginger beer," says Per Tore Holgersen from the Slow Food Røros Convivium. The recipe includes just five ingredients: ginger, raisins, sugar, water and yeast, which are mixed and left for 3-5 days to ferment. The result is a lightly alcoholic beer.
"Some people still carry on this tradition, but not all," says Holgersen, "and many young people don't know how to make it." This was what inspired the Røros Convivium to put this age-old practice at the center of their Terra Madre Day event to be held this December 10, with an event that involves participants making the ginger beer together from an old recipe.
"This recipe comes from families in the area, passed down through generations from mother to children. It's not something you can buy, but made from information that is passed on through people."
"We hope that young people will come to the event and learn this old tradition so they can carry it on. We'll also be serving local food and a ginger beer that we made beforehand, so we can enjoy the final results!"

Here is This Week's Sales Tip
Here's the text for the YouTube Impaired ….
Sales Tip for the week of October 21, 2013
Good morning!
So many of these sales tips, my Tuesday blog, and the Friday Short Attention Span Webinars that I do with Kelly Mallozzi flow from the coaching calls that I have with salespeople and selling owners. Today's tip is no different.
I just got off the phone with a sales rep who's been in the field for a whopping three weeks. It sounds like his activity level is good and he's even had some positive reaction to his selling efforts. In other words, some fish are nibbling at the bait. In fact, he thought he had one hooked but it wiggled away. Such is life.
One of the comments that he made really stuck with me. He said, "I just got married and now there's a family that I need to support so I am feeling the added pressure to be successful."
One of the books that I refer to often and read quite frequently is called The Four Agreements. The last of the four agreements is, "Always do your best." The author gives a brilliant analogy when describing this point. He talks about Forrest Gump. In the movie, Tom Hanks' character always did his best. He was the best son, the best soldier, the best friend, and even the best ping-pong player he could be. He never worried about the outcome. He simply focused on the effort.
Coaching calls serve as reminders to me as a salesperson. In today's conversation, I was reminded of the need to do my best and try my hardest. I am of the belief that failure in any task, project, or aspect of life is acceptable only if I have tried my hardest.
Every day we are faced with sales challenges. What a great feeling it is to end that day having left nothing on the playing field. I wanted to remind you all of the same lesson that diligence is omnipotent.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Description of Pulley-Based Continuously Variable Transmissions By: Julanda Al Riyami Introduction Mechanical machines consist of a power feed and a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of power distribution. A transmission system is a collection of parts, including speed-controlling gears and a propeller shaft in which power is transmitted from an engine to an axle. In automobiles, often, a transmission has multiple gear ratios with the ability to switch between them as the speed of the wheels change. Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission technology that facilitates infinite variability within a finite range of gear ratios, the highest and the lowest gear ratio, without needing to shift gears. However, the word "gear" is still used when speaking of CVTs because, broadly speaking, gear refers to the ratio of engine shaft speed to driveshaft speed. The transmission system receives power through the crankshaft; however, unlike traditional automatic transmissions, CVTs don't have a gearbox with a set number of gears. A pulley-based CVT operates on an innovative pulley system that allows an infinite variability between highest and lowest gears without separate shifts. The pulleys comprise of cones, adjusted by hydraulic pressure cylinders, and a metal belt to turn the pulleys. Variable Pulley System Essentially, a CVT transmission operates by varying the effective diameters of the two main pulleys in the transmission. Most CVTs only have three key components: a variable input "driving" pulley, a variable output "driven" pulley, and a high-power metal belt. Power Distribution Through the Transmission Variable diameter pulleys always come in pairs. One of the pulleys, known as the driving pulley, is connected to the crankshaft of the engine. The driving pulley is also called the input pulley because it is where the power from the engine enters the transmission. Power is simultaneously transferred through the metal belt and onto the second pulley, the driven pulley. The second pulley is also known as the output pulley, which transfers the acquired power to the driveshaft. Pulley Cone Design The variable diameter pulley design is the core of a CVT, such that each pulley is made of two 20-degree plates, or cones, facing one another. A metal belt rides in the groove between the two cones. When the two cones of the pulley are far apart the belt lies low in the groove, and the radius of the belt loop cycling around the pulley is small. When the cones are close together the belt sits higher in the groove, and the radius of the belt loop cycling around the pulley is larger. The distance between the contact surface of the groove and the centers of the pulleys is known as the transfer pitch radius. The working gear is determined by the ratio of the pitch radius on the driving pulley to the pitch radius on the driven pulley. The figure on the right illustrates an overview of the CVT system with the drive and driven plates, along with the drive metal belt. Image from < http://freeze4you.blogspot.com/2010_10_03_archive.html> Metal V-Belt One of the most significant attributes of a CVT is the complex design of the metal belt connecting the pulleys. These flexible belts are composed of several thin bands of steel that hold together high strength pieces of metal. The steel belt typically consists of 280 hardened steel V-blocks engineered to accustom the sloped design of the pulley cones. The V-blocks remain in contact by two steel bands, each made of nine to twelve sealed strips that fit closely together in a very strong and flexible ring. The figure below clarifies the composition of the steel belt. Image from <http://www.insightcentral.net/_images/cvt-belt.jpg> The blocks are guided by the bands but are not attached to them in order for a push process to take place to transfer power. Drive is transmitted to the driven pulley by the compression of individual blocks rather than relying on tension forces in the steel bands. Each block leaving the driving pulley pushes the blocks ahead of it, to the driven pulley where the bands keep the blocks in contact with the pulley faces. The blocks are in compression on the drive side (driving pulley to driven pulley), and after the power is transmitted to the output pulley they float loosely along the bands on the return side (driven pulley to driving pulley). The large number of blocks in contact with the pulleys keeps contact surface pressures low, allowing high torque to be transmitted. Metal belts are highly durable and don't slip due to the design of the cones, enabling CVTs to handle exceptionally high engine torque. Achieving Infinite Gear Ratios When one pulley increases its radius, the other decreases its radius to keep the belt tight. For each of the pulleys, one side is fixed and the other side is moveable, activated by a hydraulic pressure cylinder. As the cylinder is actuated, it can increase or decrease the amount of space between the two cones. The two pulleys change their radii relative to one another, creating an infinite number of gear ratios – from low to high and everything in between. For example, when the pitch radius is small on the driving pulley and large on the driven pulley, then the rotational speed of the driven pulley decreases, resulting in a lower gear. When the pitch radius is large on the driving pulley and small on the driven pulley, then the rotational speed of the driven pulley increases, resulting in a higher gear. Thus, in theory, a CVT has an infinite number of gears that it can utilize at any time, at any engine or vehicle speed. The figure below demonstrates the variable pulley diameters of low and high gear ratios. Image from <http://wikicars.org/en/Image:Cvt_list01.gif> Conclusion Automobiles with CVT facilitate more power and give a better fuel economy as a result of the unique working mechanism of the system. The continuous variable transmission system has two pulleys and a belt attached as its principal components. While the input pulley is attached to the engine through a crankshaft, it receives power to rotate the pulley. This power is then transferred to the V-blocks of the metal belt by compressing them along the drive side. As the blocks come into contacts with the output pulley, power is transmitted to the driveshaft then further to the wheels. Although a driver controls the acceleration and speed of a CVT-integrated automobile with the gas pedal, the variable diameters of the two pulleys perform the mechanics and adjust to the desired gear ratios. Because of the step-less nature of its design, a CVT can work to keep the engine at its optimum power range, hence increasing efficiency and gas mileage. CVT cars assure a smooth driving experience supported by optimal engine and driveshaft speeds and a decent fuel economy.

Still, many state and federal lawmakers have acknowledged the unique predicament of undocumented students like Felix, who were raised in the U.S. illegally by their parents, consider the U.S. their home and have few ties to the birth country they left at a young age.
At least 10 states, including California, now allow undocumented immigrants who complete high school to pay taxpayer-subsidized, in-state college tuition rates, according to the College Board.
But Felix, who graduated with honors both from Los Angeles' Garfield High School and UCLA, said many obstacles to higher education and successful careers remain, placing an "unacceptable" ceiling on her dreams.
"I feel like, in order for me to grow I have to be doing what I want to do and I have to have dreams. And people have to pursue their dreams. And I feel like if you don't do that, what is there left to do?" she said.
Felix said her dream to open a clinic in L.A. has motivated her to independently finance her Columbia University education without help from federal loans or grants, or the ability to legally make money from a job.
After enrolling at Columbia in 2008, Felix began working at a local pizza restaurant for cash under the table and solicited donations from friends and supporters using PayPal on a website that advertises her cause. Felix said she also received help from one compassionate parent of a classmate who offered to charge part of her tuition on his credit card.
Before her death, Felix had secured more than $13,000 in private scholarships toward tuition and several thousand dollars in savings and donations toward her goal of close to $40,000.
"I feel like I am just like everyone else," she said. "I want to help my community here. I'm not getting educated here so I can go back to Mexico and do all these different things over there.
"I'm getting educated here because I want to help the community where I grew up."

|Sprint running
|Duke Blue Devils, Durham
Medal record
David William "Dave" Sime (born July 25, 1936) is an American former sprinter. He never won a major title but he ranked as one of the fastest humans of all time, holding several sprint records during the late 1950s.[1]
Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Sime grew up in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, where he attended Fair Lawn High School.[2][3] Sime came to prominence in 1956 while attending Duke University as a member of the baseball and track and field teams. (He is now "one of the infamous ten") "The 10". He and fellow American Bobby Morrow had some great duels that year but an injury ruined his Olympic hopes. Four years later, in Rome, he was second in the Olympic 100 m before anchoring the U.S. to a victory in the 4×100 m relay. However, the U.S. team was disqualified for passing out of the zone, and Sime lost his chance at an Olympic gold medal. During his career, he held world records at 100 yd, 220 yd, and the 220 yd low hurdles. After college, Sime became an ophthalmologist in Florida.
Sime came to Duke on a baseball scholarship, and had never run track in his life. The Duke track coach happened to see this long lanky figure while attending a baseball game. He asked permission from Duke's baseball coach to let him work out with the track team. His coach agreed provided there was not a baseball game that day. In his first track meet he was entered into the 100 yard event. Never having raced before in his life in his first track event (against the University of Maryland) he ran a 9.6, just .3 off the world record. He still holds the record at Duke for the 100 and 220 with best times of 9.3 and 20.0 which were world records in the 1950s.
Duke's football coach approached him the following season, again getting permission from his baseball coach. Playing the position of "lonesome end" Duke played Notre Dame in their first game. On the first play from scrimmage, Sime caught a touchdown pass. The next time Duke was on offense, the first play, Sime caught another touchdown pass. After that Notre Dame had three men on Sime the entire game. Duke defeated Notre Dame that day. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the 29th round (341st overall) of the 1959 NFL Draft.
CIA mission[edit]
On the eve of the Rome Olympics, Sime was approached by the Central Intelligence Agency and recruited to help secure the defection of Soviet athlete Igor Ter-Ovanesyan.[4] Sime approached Ter-Ovanesyan and introduced him to a CIA agent in Rome, but that agent's manner frightened Ter-Ovanesyan off and he did not defect.[5]

Ex-Temasek Holdings president Simon Israel joins Westpac's Asia Advisory Board
Published on Apr 8, 2014 1:10 PM
Former Temasek Holdings president Simon Israel has been appointed to the newly established Asia Advisory Board of Australia's Westpac Banking Corporation.
Mr Israel will be the board's second non-executive member, Westpac said in a press release on Tuesday.
He joins Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Singapore's former Second Minister for Finance and Transport, who was appointed to the board soon after its establishment in November last year. The board's purpose is to advise the bank's management on its strategy in Asia.
Mr Israel was a board member of Temasek Holdings from 2005 and served as the investment agency's president between 2010 and 2011, before retiring in July 2011. Mr Israel was appointed chairman of SingTel in 2011.

I'd gladly take the draft pick, as long as its the first rounder from this year.(8th overall). Two picks back to back.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
No way im trading a coach.
Marvin has lost the team. I'd trade him him for any draft pick from Baltimore. He's not a good in-game coach.
Right now on 1530, Cutler is talking about trading Marvin for 2 first-round draft picks. He's asking if anyone would do it. That's a no-brainer. I don't think there's a chance of that happening, but maybe Baltimore is sick of losing games to the Marvin and the Bengals??
"....the two players I liked watching the most were Barry Larkin and Eric Davis. I was suitably entertained by their effortless skill that I didn't need them crashing into walls like a squirrel on a coke binge." - dsmith421
Could we just change the title of this thread? It's not a rumor- it's an idea proposed by a sports columnist.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
If it came from Steve Bisciotti or Ozzie Newsome, it might carry more credence.
Even then, as much as I would love to have two picks back to back, there is no way the Bengals, as incompetent as Mike Brown is, are going to let a head coach leave for a team within the division.
Are you saying that Mike Brown isn't foolish enough to trade Marvin to a team within the division or are you saying that he's not smart enough to trade Marvin for another first round pick?

Did just a few feet mean the difference between life and death for Paul Walker and Roger Rodas?
After the two died in a fiery wreck on Saturday afternoon, some fans claimed that the explosion that killed the pair was caused by an exposed gas line at the site — which they could have missed if the crash had only occurred a few feet in either direction.
Speculation about the true cause of the fireball explosion following the crash first surfaced on auto enthusiast forums, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"Check out this gas line that's right where they crashed," one commenter on Worldcarfans.com wrote.
"If this exploded, it explains the mangled car … the little tree doesn't make sense for all the damage to the car." Some commenters responded that they believed the pipe to be a water line, while others insisted it was gas.
PHOTOS: Paul Walker And Friend Roger Rodas Are Killed In Tragic Car Crash
However, a rep for SoCal Gas tells Radar exclusively that despite maps showing gas lines in the area, the apparatus is simply a water line. The rep insisted, "It's a water line. It's not one of ours."
Insiders previously told Radar that Walker and the car's driver, Rodas, both died on impact.
A case insider said, "Both men were [wearing] seat belts … [but] if the Porsche hadn't have hit the pole, Paul and Roger would likely still be alive today."
Cops believe that the crash occurred with significant speed because the Porsche was split in half after hitting the pole. But it was the fireball explosion following that impact that reportedly left Walker's body unrecognizable.

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Re: Adding a large iTunes library to a new computer... in response to MooseMan35
These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
- Backup the library with this User Tip.
- Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
- Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
- Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing, easily updatable backup for your library.

Let's take a look at the films up for Best Picture Oscar, shall we? Let's out which of the nine films really is the best, which one if the most worthy of your praise, and which one will probably win the statue come March. Those three things may not be the same thing.
David O. Russell's American Hustle may perhaps be considered the third film in the director's unofficial trilogy of genre experiments. Russell started his career with somewhat oblique and definitely stylish comedies like Spanking the Monkey and Flirting with Disaster, and exploded in earnest with his overrated wartime drama Three Kings (which is far shoddier and more meaninglessly stylized than you even remember). He took a playful detour into near-absurdism with his I Heart Huckabees, which is appealing in a cult way – it's not often that we get a film as wonderfully weird.
Ever since The Fighter, however, Russell seems to have finally hit his stride, taking familiar – even clichéd – genres and populating them with his now-familiar brand of broad-yet-believable white trash and/or amusingly criminal characters. He then casts talented actors, squeezes great performances from them, and, in so doing, elevates the genre into something natural and …read more

We are back in a see-saw market environment-t again. For most investors, attempting to trade your way through is a recipe for loss. If you are patient you can nibble on some big-name, high-dividend stocks like Santander, France Telecom (FTE) or JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report), which will pay you while you wait. And given the disdain for these stocks today, odds are you will be in good shape a year or two down the road. Otherwise, use a rally intelligently as an opportunity to sell high.

Celebrating another month of incredible work from the White House Photographers. A look inside the White House for the month of June. All photographs were taken by the White House Photography staff lead by Pete Souza.
June 2012
White House Photography Disclaimer:I know a lot of people don't have the time to check out the White House's photostream at Flickr so I put together this diary at the end of each month for everyone.
This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
If you see an image you really like I encourage you to click through using the links I've provided under each image and view that photo in a larger format (in cases where there are no links that is because the White House has not yet uploaded that image to Flickr). Also, you can order prints through Flickr or download full sized files to print at home if you'd like. I've printed quite a few over the years to hang in my office here at school.
Please feel free to add your favorite White House Photo Staff pictures in the comments that I missed and you'd like to share with everyone.

Hi, my Name is Michael and i'm a great Alfa Romeo Fan.
I always dreamt of a model of the Alfa Romeo 159 SW ti, which is the most sportive looking Alfa Romeo 159.
The car got a sport suspension, side panels, 19" rims, Brembo braking system and many other parts the standard Alfa doesn't have.
I was looking for the model a long time, but the only model released was the 1/18 version from Mondo Motors, which does not look very sportive.

Child migrants driven to US by violence, poverty
REYNOSA, Mexico (AP) — Before 14-year-old Brian Duran set out from central Honduras in mid-April, he heard that child migrants who turned themselves in to the U.S. Border Patrol were being cared for and not deported.
He knew that a couple of friends who left before he did had given themselves up after crossing and been reunited with family in the U.S. Sitting inside the walled compound of a migrant shelter in this Mexican border city across the Rio Grande from Texas, Brian wonders if that is still the case as he seeks a way to make his own crossing.
"I don't know what the environment is like now, if they (Border Patrol) are supporting or if they are returning the minors," he said Tuesday. He said he has an uncle in the U.S., but doesn't know where because he lost his number while journeying north.
Brian isn't alone in trying to get into the U.S. In the past eight months, 47,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended along the border in the U.S. Southwest.
More than 11,000 of those were Mexican children, who are generally quickly sent back across the border. But nearly 35,000 were from the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. By contrast, just 6,560 child migrants were put in U.S. shelters during all of 2011.
President Barack Obama called the surge a crisis Monday, saying the influx has overwhelmed the network of U.S. shelters for young migrants. He appointed the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Craig Fugate, to lead the government's response. The Obama administration has asked Congress for $1.4 billion in extra funding to help house, feed and transport child migrants and has turned to the Defense Department to temporarily house some of them.
Detained youngsters are transferred within 72 hours to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement to be housed in shelters until they can be reunited with parents or guardians. Officials then begin searching for relatives or other potential guardians in the U.S. The average stay for a child in a U.S. shelter was 45 days last year. Most are reunited with family to wait for their immigration cases to move forward.
A variety of reasons put young migrants on the path to the U.S.
"The children don't only travel because of poverty or reunification. In a recent study we have detected that another important theme is migration because of insecurity," said Julia Gonzalez, coordinator of the nonprofit National Bureau for Migration in Guatemala.
A study released in March by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said about half of 400 kids interviewed reported they had experienced or been threatened with serious harm. About 300 of those interviewed were from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — countries that accounted for about 90 percent of the children cared for by the Office of Refugee Resettlement last year.
Brian said he left Comayagua, Honduras, because "there is so much poverty there, the crime is tremendous. You've got to sort things out because if not, you'll starve to death."

Design for project next to Hilleary Park unveiled
POWAY —— People who live around Hilleary Park got their first look Thursday at plans for a 56-unit, low-income housing project to be built on vacant land just south of the park.
Unveiled during a neighborhood meeting at the Poway Library, the plans showed an eight-building complex located on 4.6 acres the city owns between Wanesta Drive and Hilleary Place.
Six of the proposed structures would be two-story apartment buildings, one would be a single-story community center and the eighth structure would be a single-story building that would replace an existing law office on the east end of the property.
The development would be reached via two driveways off Community Road.
Community HousingWorks, a nonprofit agency based in Escondido, is working with the city to develop the project and will likely own and manage it when the development is finished.
On Thursday, representatives for the agency and its architect said they took pains to come up with a design that would be pleasing to passersby. The result is a complex that features a "California" architectural style that incorporates archways, stucco, patios and balconies.
Architect Carlos Rodrigues said the development's parking lots will be hidden inside the complex, which will include a tot lot and interior courtyards. A couple of footpaths along the complex's perimeter will connect it to Hilleary Park, he said.
"We wanted to create the look of a collection of homes rather than one large building," architect Rodrigues said.
An audience of about two dozen people seemed to have few complaints about the architectural design.
However, several audience members objected to the scale of the development, saying it was too dense for the neighborhood, which includes single-family homes along Wanesta Drive. Questions about the wisdom of putting a low-income housing project in that area also surfaced.
Wanesta Drive resident Jerry Vineyard, whose house is adjacent to the southwestern corner of the proposed project, was among those who spoke out about the density issue.
"It appears what you're telling us you want to do is build a bunch of pretty apartments, two-story (with) nice landscaping, but they're all going to look at my backyard," he said. "What I see here is a lot of euphemisms. …You're stuffing what is very high-density into a place where it doesn't belong."
He also expressed concern about potential problems with flooding, traffic on Community Road and an increase in foot traffic due to the footpaths, one of which would run between the complex and the nearby houses.
Jason Martin, a senior planner with the city, said the property in question has been zoned "residential apartments" for years. The designation allows for the construction of up to 28 units per acre and for two-story structures up to 35 feet tall.
In 2000, the City Council approved a private developer's plan to build a 35-unit apartment complex on part of the site.
"So it's always been planned for that —— development of apartments," Martin said.
The apartments would be rented to people whose annual incomes are 30 percent to 60 percent of the county's median income, which is $68,400 for a family of four. That means four-person families making $20,520 to $41,040 would be eligible to live in the proposed complex.

I would say it's the measles. From what I remember from my kids and my grandson, that's what it looked like.
BTW, your kid is very cute! What a sweet face. Hope she feels ok. We never had any problems with the measles. It's really a benign disease.

HAve you found any images on the internet that resemble to you what your son has?

It's amazing how much celebs get around. Just the other day Vanessa Hudgens was doing the movie premiere bit down in Aussie land. A few days later she's kicking back in Hawaii with her douchey-looking boyfriend, soaking up some rays in her little red bikini. Pretty soon she'll be back to LA, then probably on to somewhere in the middle of Mongolia to do a movie or something, thus completing her global circumnavigation. That kind of journey used to be a miracle. Now it's merely a chance for rich celebs to kick back in first class and sip cocktails at 30,000 feet. I guess that's progress. I kind of wish it was still miraculous though. Strange thought, but no matter. Look, there's Vanessa's ass.
