The report says that several companies have been discussed as potential suitors for TiVo, including Time Warner and Comcast, Sony, and Liberty Media.

Most people don't lose everything in life and have to start over, but that is what happened to me in 2007. I was living a normal life one day, and was in a dark pit the next. I'm not going to get into that except to tell you how I climbed out of that pit by starting my own business in associaltion with the print-on-demand company, Zazzle.
Because of the this unfortunate turn of events in my life, I was put on a surprising path that led me to a job that I love doing. I now earn a paycheck that is larger than any I had ever previously earned. I work from home, using my God-given artistic abilities, and I am my own boss. This is absolutely miraculous considering that when I began, I knew next to nothing about the internet, except that I could send e-mail to my friends!
I'm guessing that many people who read this page are already far more knowledgeable already, which puts you ahead of where I started. No matter what you know, or don't know, if you want something bad enough you can learn how to make it happen.

I think you need to take the waves one at a time, as they come, if you start getting ahad of yourself, the boat will pound...be sure someone else is on lookout duty (as should be SOP), as your world needs to shrink to just the next wave, so its quite mesmerizing...
Down wind your challenge is just to minimize yawing, not pounding, dont correct you angle any more than essential.
FWIW, I have always found getting anywhere in rough water to be more comfortable, and usually quicker, under sail than power, excepting perhaps directly againstboth strong wind and current. The sail pressure greatly limits the violence of the boat motion.

The late Bal Thackeray's will, dated Dec 13, 2011, has opened a can of worms with the Bombay high framing a number of questions that have to be answered following allegations by his estranged son, Jaidev Thackeray, that the Shiv Sena supremo was not of sound mind while executing the will.
Justice RD Dhanuka on Tuesday framed the questions following submissions by counsels for Uddhav and Jaidev, Rajesh Shah and Seema Sarnaik, respectively.
The brothers will now put forth their side through documents as well as by answering the questions raised.
The first issue is whether the will was executed and attested by late Thackeray. "Whether the deceased (Thackeray) was of sound and disposable mind at the time of executing the will," is the second issue. The last issue is "whether Uddhav is entitled to probate of the will."
Shah and Sarnaik have submitted that they are in the process of inspecting the relevant documents which would then be submitted to the court.
Justice Dhanuka has asked the parties to then submit 'acceptance' and 'denials' of the documents.
The HC has kept the matter for admissibility of documents on Aug 25.
Jaidev had filed a caveat in HC, which is hearing probate petition filed by Uddhav.
dna was the first to report, on Jan 20, that Thackeray, in his will had bequeathed majority of his property to his youngest son, Uddhav. Some portion has been given to his grandson, Aishvarya (Jaidev's son). Thackeray has not left a farthing for either Jaidev or the family of his late son, Bindumadhav. He has three sons—Bindumadhav (who died in a road accident), Jaidev and Uddhav.
Probate petition
Uddhav, who was anointed party's executive president by his father, had moved the high court in Jan 2013 to probate Thackeray's will. Thackeray died on Nov 17, 2012. A probate petition is filed to get the will of a deceased person certified by a court of competent jurisdiction. A probate is granted with the court seal and has a copy of the will attached to it. dna has copies of Uddhav's probate petition.
The estate left behind by Thackeray includes property and bank deposits worth Rs 14.85 crore, according to the will signed by the Sena patriarch.

Great litter
posted 6 years ago
I find this litter to be better than anything else I've tried and it's less expensive! It's not as dusty as some brands and it seems to keep the scent under control.
Pros: keeps up with 2 cats
Cons: none

I wrote recently about our current Win a Dream Hunt for Two Sweepstakes from Weaver. The winner receives an amazing hunting trip to Texas and a Weaver Hunting Package with a ton of great gear to make your hunt a success. That sweepstakes inspired me to tell you a bit more about Weaver's Grand Slam Optics. One of the main pieces of gear from the Hunting Package is the Weaver Grand Slam 10×50 Binocular, and that's a seriously great hunting bino. But it's not the only optic that Weaver makes that'll help you hunt.
Weaver's Grand Slam line has a ton of great features, and a fair number of options to help you find and take down game. Of course, the first thing you have to do when hitting the hunting trails is find game. In general you'll use either a binocular or spotting scope for this purpose. Which optic style depends on your game and setup. If you're camping out in a hunting blind you can set up a spotting scope and tripod, but if you're on the move a binocular is the way to go. Weaver's Grand Slam 10×50 Binocular was specifically designed to help you on your hunts, so you'll have the features you need.
What features? First, they have a rubber armor covering. That's hugely important for hunters. You're stomping through the woods, climbing over downed trees, cutting or pushing your way through thick brush and want to focus on finding game, not protecting your gear. The rubber armor helps keep your binoculars safe even if you drop them or fall. They're waterproof and fogproof, so even if the conditions are wet you'll still get a great view. The 10x magnification is plenty for most hunting situations, and 50mm objective lenses gather a lot of light. You'll see what you need to very well with Weaver Grand Slams.
Once you have your game in sight thanks to your Grand Slam Binoculars, you're going to be taking a shot. Fortunately, Weaver also has Grand Slam Rifle Scopes! These are great all-around scopes. There are a number of different options, but a great choice for most hunting situations is the Grand Slam 3.5-10×50 Dual-X Rifle Scope. Just like the Grand Slam Binos above, this scope has a 50mm objective lens to give you a nice, bright view. The variable magnification helps with versatility, as at different ranges you'll want different power. It's easy to use, with low profile yet still easy to grip dials. Also like the binos, this rifle scope is quite tough, with one piece construction that's waterproof, shockproof and fog proof. That's a lot of features with Weaver's well-known quality standards behind it.
Hunting should be fun and relaxing. You get to head out to the great outdoors and enjoy some of the best parts of this world. The last thing you want to do is worry about your gear. Weaver designed their Grand Slam Optics to be reliable and high performing without breaking the bank. Whether you win one in our Dream Hunt for Two Sweepstakes or buy your own you can count on the quality and performance you'll get from a Weaver Binocular or Rifle Scope. Don't settle for anything less.

I WOULD PURCHASE THIS IF IT ALSO HAD A RAIL SYSTEM SO i COULD ADD OTHER LIGHTS, OR A LASER TARGETING LIGHT.
Ok what is new Surefire has been making replacement forearms with lights for year for both Remington and Mossberg, problem is the cost low in being 300.00. You can get a replacement forearm with a rail and attach a 1 inch mount with a tac light a do the same thing. I set up 3 shotguns for what one would cost if I did a surefire replacement forearm.
That's a great idea, and one we hope SureFire looks into as well! I will say this particular light is so ergonomic that an additional rail might make it too bulky, but there does seem to be room on the end for a rail. Maybe next years model will have further customization options.
This particular model and the intuitive and ergonomic design is what's really new with the SureFire Mossberg Forend light. You certainly can buy a regular replacement forearm with a rail, but the great design on this light makes it much easier to turn on without changing your grip.

2011 and Beyond
Federal News Radio gets insight from government executives and experts on the issues they believe will be key for the federal community in 2012. And, we take a look back at some of the biggest trends from 2011 as part of our special report, 2011 and Beyond.
Survey: PIOs slowly creating a performance culture
An exclusive Federal News Radio online survey of federal PIOs finds agencies are using performance to improve their missions, but more than half of the Performance Improvement Officers wear multiple hats. Respondents also said they have strong support from their superiors and their agency is committed culturally to improve performance. Shelley Metzenbaum, the Office of Management and Budget's associate director for performance and personnel (pictured) said success in performance improvement across agencies has taken off recently. "This is not just being driven by OMB, but it is really being owned by the agencies," she said.
Agency CFOs feel strain of impending budget cuts
Agency chief financial officers and deputy CFOs said their top three priorities and challenges all revolve around improving how their agency manages spending, according to an exclusive online survey by Federal News Radio. Agencies expect the 2013 budget request to include significant cuts in across-the-board discretionary spending.

You hit the back of your head as you were slammed against your locker. The other girls laughed as you winced in pain and tried not to cry. "Aww, did wittle (Name) get a boo-boo on her head? Well, maybe now people will believe the reason for your ugliness is because you get hurt all the time!" the leader of the girls jeered, and the others laughed harder.
"What do you want, (Leader's Name)?" you asked through gritted teeth, forcing back tears. You'd never give her the satisfaction of seeing you cry.
"Nothing much. We just want to know why an ugly person like you would be wearing these," (Leader's Name) said, tugging your glasses from your face.
"Hey!! Give those back!!" you commanded, trying to take the glasses back, but the other girls held you against your locker.
"Why? They don't make you any prettier. They just add to your ugliness. In my opinion, you would look better blind," (Leader's Name) remarked bitterly, throwing your glasses on the floor and crushing them with her designer heels.
"No!" you shouted, now openly crying. You fell to the floor and felt around for your glasses. You really were practically blind without them. Once you had found them, you scooped them into your hands and felt them to see if they were still wearable. No such luck.
You felt so small compared to all of them. They were circling you, laughing, calling you names. It was almost too much to bear. They did it everyday, but even so, it hurt so badly. If only you'd had the courage to just end your life. You'd tried several times, but every time you just couldn't do it. So you had to suffer.
"Hey! You brats better leave that poor chica alone, or we're gonna have some trouble," said an angry voice; a boy's voice, with a Spanish accent. Through your blurry vision, you could see the other girls backing off.
"Zhaaaat's vright, valk avay, und don't let us catch you picking on her again!" said another voice, also male, with a German accent.
"Now, gone with you, before we decide to get nasty," said one more voice, male, French accent. The other girls started to whimper, and then ran away. You heard footsteps coming towards you and saw three pairs of feet stand right in front of you. Two strong arms helped you to your feet.
"Are you okay, mon cher?" the Frenchman asked worriedly. You could hear him on your left side.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you..." you lied. You were far from okay.
"Can you see vizhout your glasses or no?" the German asked. He was on your right.
"No..." you answered, your voice shaking.
"Then we'll have to help you get home. Where do you live, chica?" the Spaniard asked. He was behind you. You debated on whether or not you should tell them. On one hand, you were almost positive that you didn't know any of them, and that scared you. On the other hand, they saved you from those wretched girls, and you didn't have any other way to get home if you couldn't see.
"I-I live at (Home address)," you informed timidly, deciding to trust them.
"Vell, come on zhen. Let's get you home, frau," the German said soothingly. You let the three boys lead you home. Once they had brought you to your front porch, you thanked them and told them you didn't need any more help.
"You sure?" the Spaniard asked skeptically.
"Positive," you replied.
"Alvright zhen. Vell, ve'll see you at school zhen," the German stated.
"And if those girls ever pick on you again, you let us know, and we'll fix them for you," the Frenchman informed angrily.
"Thank you. I will..." you replied, opening the door to your house and running upstairs to your bedroom. You dug through your desk drawer to find your glasses case, where you kept your extra pair. They weren't as nice as your main pair, which was now broken, but it was better than being unable to see.
You walked into your bathroom and looked yourself in the mirror. Why did the other girls call you ugly? Did they think you were fat? Did they think you had too much acne? Were glasses and braces really all it took to make someone ugly?
Those girls were the prettiest girls in the whole school, so they must know these things. If they said you were ugly, you must really be ugly. But you couldn't help it. You needed your glasses to see, and you couldn't do anything about the braces. Would you be doomed to be ugly forever?
You started crying again, wondering how you were going to explain your crushed glasses to your father. You'd never told him about how you'd been bullied for the past two years by the girls at school, and you didn't plan on doing it anytime soon. That would just make things ten times harder.
You eyed the pair of scissors that sat on your bathroom counter. They were pretty sharp. Slowly and tentatively, you picked them up with your right hand and held them above your left wrist, but then quickly put them in an open drawer and slammed it shut, too scared to hurt yourself.
You walked back into your bedroom and flopped down on your bed, exhausted, depressed, confused, and mixed with all of these negative emotions, happy. Happy that someone had helped you; that someone had stood up for you when you were too scared and too weak to do it yourself. You hoped that you'd get to meet these boys again and become friends with them, and thank them for all that they did.
~*Timeskip to next day*~
It was lunch time. You'd made it half-way through the day without being physically bullied, but you still heard people calling you names as you passed by. You'd looked everywhere for the three boys that had helped you yesterday, but you only had their voices to go on, and you hadn't heard them so far.
Then, finally, as you were walking to a table in the back of the room, you heard the voices of the boys who'd helped you. You searched frantically for them, but when you saw them, you almost dropped your tray. The boys who had helped you were none other than the infamous Bad Touch Trio. The thought that you had trusted them made you want to puke. These boys were as bad as bad could get.
The group consisted of, obviously, three people. Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, a brown haired, green eyed, tan skinned boy was the Spaniard, rumored to have more than just a soft spot for small children. A top-notch babysitter for sure, but people say he'd tried more than once to plot a kidnapping.
Gilbert Beilschmidt, a silver haired, red eyed, pale skinned Albino and Francis Bonnefoy, a blond haired, blue eyed, fair skinned Frenchman, were both rumored to be playboys and dirty minded. Francis had, apparently, done horrible things to girls on more than one occasion.
Every girl in the school ran the other direction whenever they walked by. Boys beat them up to keep them away from their girls, and everyone in school went out of their way to make sure Antonio could never get a babysitting job. You felt sick knowing that you had trusted them, but something inside of you didn't quite fit.
The boys who had helped you had seemed genuinely concerned about you. They hadn't done anything bad to you, or even tried to hurt you in any way, shape or form. Quite the opposite. They had saved you from the mean girls, helped you to your feet, walked you home, and told you that they would protect you if the girls ever tried to hurt you again. If they had done all that for you, they couldn't really be as bad as everyone said, could they?
Slowly, you walked up to their table and tapped on Francis' shoulder. The three boys stopped laughing and looked at you. Each one of their faces lit up when they saw you. "Y-you guys are the ones who saved me yesterday, aren't you?" you asked them.
"Oui, mon cher, we are. Are you doing okay?" Francis inquired. The others looked at you expectantly.
"Y-yeah! I'm fine! The girls haven't harassed me all day! I wanted to thank you guys and introduce myself, and see if I could... Maybe... Hang out with you?" you asked hopefully.
"It's alright with me if it's alright with my amigos. What do you say, boys?" Antonio asked.
"Ja, you can hang vizh us!" Gilbert answered. Francis nodded approvingly.
"Thank you! By the way, I'm (F-First name) (L-Last name), but I already know who all of you are," you stuttered nervously.
"Not surprising, seeing how awesome ve are," Gilbert laughed, patting a seat between him and Francis and looking at you. Nervously, you sat between the two boys, and quickly became friends with them. As far as you could tell, they weren't anything like what the other teens had said they were.
When the bell rang, you walked with the Trio to your next class. As you did so, you heard people whispering around you. The boys seemed oblivious to it, but you heard every word. "What's she doing with them? She's got herself in with the bad boys now. Who knew the ugly girl was such a flirt? Bet you twenty bucks she's cheating on all of em' with each other. Bet you fifty bucks they all know and don't care." It was almost too much to handle. Tears streamed down your face again.
"You alright, chica?" Antonio asked, noticing the tears.
"Fine," you lied again, walking away from the boys and into your next class. They exchanged worried glances and followed you. Throughout the whole day, they kept asking you if you were really okay, and every time you would lie to them. When you got out of your last class, which you didn't share with the Trio, you were greeted by the Girls again.
"Well, if it isn't (Name) the flirt! What did you do to get the Bad Touch Trio interested in an ugly girl like you?" (Leader's Name) asked, cackling wickedly.
"They're probably all on crack," one of the others remarked. (Leader's Name) pushed you against the wall and her eyes scanned you for something to torment you about, which didn't take long.
"Is all the jewelry you own this ugly? If it is, I'd suggest you just don't wear any at all. It doesn't flatter you," she informed, grabbing the necklace that you were wearing, which your mom had given to you before she died. She was choking you. When she unclasped it, you were gasping for breath and coughing hysterically.
"On second thought, this is really quite pretty. I think I'll keep it," she remarked, smirking evilly at you and putting the necklace around her own neck.
"That's my mother's! Give it back!" you yelled, crying again. Suddenly, someone wrapped their arms firmly around (Leader's Name)'s waist, and two more hands reached for her neck, feeling their way around the necklace and finding the clasp. One more set of arms grabbed you and pulled you protectively away from the girls. The person who had grabbed (Leader's Name) was Francis. The person who was untying the necklace was Gilbert. The person who was protecting you was Antonio.
"Didn't your mozher ever tell you it's not nice to take vhat isn't yours?" Gilbert hissed, unclasping the necklace and holding it firmly in his own hand. The girls shrieked in terror.
"Eww! Get your filthy hands off of me, creeps!" (Leader's Name) shouted, wriggling from Francis' grip. "Nice job making your new friends (Name)! I hope they treat you just like all the other girls; which in case you didn't know, is pretty badly," she yelled, laughing evilly as she and her entourage swaggered away.
Gilbert walked up to you and put the necklace back around your neck. Francis wiped the tears off of your face. Antonio was still holding you tightly. "Zhere zhere, frau, it's alvright now. Ve von't let zhem hurt you anymore," Gilbert reassured, stroking your hair.
"Don't listen to anything they say. They're all wrong," Antonio whispered, rocking from side to side with you.
"They don't know who they're messing with," Francis declared angrily, still caressing your face. You felt so loved by all of them, and no one had ever done this for you before.
"Thank you guys so much... I don't know what I'd do without you..." you whispered.
"And you'll never find out. Ve'll alvays be here for you, vright guys?" Gilbert asked the others.
~*Timeskip again*~
But days passed, and the teasing didn't let up. The girls would still beat you up, and the name calling got worse and worse with each passing hour. The horrible things that they say about you and about the Trio were just too much. They were so horrible, and so outrageous, and you felt like you wanted to die. The Trio always saved you from being beaten up, but they couldn't save you from the words.
"So, which one of em' got to you first? Did he hurt you really bad?" one of the girls asked.
"I bet it was Francis. It was Francis, wasn't it?" another one begged.
"How did Gilbert react? Was he really mad, or did he just not care?" another asked. They asked many questions like this until your head was spinning. You couldn't take it anymore.
"SHUT UP!!! SHUT. UP!" you screamed, making all of the girls jump back and gasp. "You guys don't know what you're talking about! Francis, Gilbert and Antonio are the best things that ever happened to me! They're not horrible people and they are nothing like what you say. They are some of the sweetest people I've ever met, and they care about me for real! So you people can just go and shut up, because you don't know anything, and you never will!"
"Hey! You girls better not be picking on our (Name) again! Get lost, you unawesome filzh!" Gilbert shouted. The girls screamed again and ran away. You fell to your knees and sobbed. The three boys ran to you and sat down next to you. Francis wrapped his arms around you, Gilbert stroked your hair, and Antonio caressed your face.
"How do you guys stand it?" you asked, outraged.
"Stand what?" Antonio answered your question with another question.
"How do you stand everything they say about you? Don't you ever notice it? Everyone says such terrible things about you, and now about me, and I can't stand it! They say that Antonio wants to kidnap people, and they say that Gilbert and Francis do horrible things to girls, and they say that you hurt me, and that I like it when you hurt me, and they still call me ugly, and I just can't deal with it anymore! I just want to die!" you wailed, sobbing even harder into Francis' chest.
"Aww, chica, don't cry, please! It's not as bad as you think it is. There's a simple way to fix all of this," Antonio soothed.
"Ve know all zhe bad things zhey say about us. It used to hurt us a lot, but zhen ve met each ozher und became friends, und soon ve learned to ignore vhat zhe ozhers said," Gilbert explained.
"It doesn't matter what the other people say. We know who we are, and what we're not, and that's good enough for us. We just know that they're wrong, and we're right, and nothing else matters," Francis reassured. Now he was rocking back and forth with you.
"I know that you guys are nothing like they say you are, but what about me? Those are the prettiest girls in the whole school! If they tell me I'm ugly, then they must be right," you cried.
"Aw, mon cher, if you needed someone to tell you that you are beautiful, you should've just asked!" Francis exclaimed, chuckling.
"Yeah! Those other girls dunno what they're talking about. They're probably just jealous because you're way prettier than they are!" Antonio reassured.
"And vay awesomer too. Plus, your (h/l) (h/c) hair is vay better zhan zheir hair," Gilbert told you, twirling his fingers in your hair and smirking.
"Also, those glasses frame your pretty (e/c) eyes perfectly. I bet all those other girls wish they had glasses and eyes as beautiful as yours," Antonio stated, cupping your face in both of his hands and staring into your (e/c) eyes with his green ones.
"Oh, and don't forget about your smile! Your smile is much better than the fake ones those stupid girls flash, even with the braces!" Francis whispered in your ear with a sing-song voice.
"Besides, it doesn't matter how you look on zhe outside. It's vhat's on zhe inside zhat counts, vright? I mean, look at zhose brats! Zhey're good-looking, but zheir personalities could drive avay even a troll!" Gilbert joked.
"You guys really mean that?" you asked as Antonio wiped the tears from your face.
"Of course we do, mon cher! Would we ever lie to you?" Francis asked, fake pouting.
"If you ever need somevone to tell you you're pretty, just ask us," Gilbert said.
"You're one of us now. We gotta stick together and look out for each other, cuz that's what friends are for, right guys?" Antonio asked.
You looked at each of the boys and then gave all three of them individual huge hugs. "I'm glad to be one of you."

Rose: This is so lame I don't even... There's too much cheese. WAAAAAAAY too much cheese. Or something like that. IDK. Again, this would've been better if I wasn't so innocent minded. Then I could've used... Words... That better described everything... But I'm too innocent minded to use those words... So yeah... Anyways, I got this idea back when I was first getting into Hetalia. The BTT used to be my fave characters (Now it's the FACE family, but it actually goes like CAFE, and then Prussia, and then Spain now xD) and there were a few reasons for it. Reason #1: THEY'RE ALL AWESOME Reason #2: Everyone thinks they're terrible people, when really, they are just the opposite. I can't believe what people say about the BTT. It makes me really depressed and angry to think that the fangirls would turn such wonderful characters into such horrible people, and it makes me even ANGRIER that they think it's FUNNY. Everyone thinks that Spain is a pedo, and they think that Prussia is a perv, and they think France is... You all know what they think France is. I can't even say it. It's too horrible. And I love France. I love him so much. The people who make the BTT out to be horrible people are just sick, and I hate them. I love The BTT because they are all so cute and adorable and affectionate and caring and loving and cheerful, and despite how many people say bad things about them, they stay strong, and they're still awesome. They don't give in to the meanie fandom peoples >:U I think we should all take a lesson from them. When someone says bad things about you, or bullies you, just remember the BTT. Remember that YOU know who you are, and who you're NOT, and that's the only thing that matters. Stay strong, and keep being awesome! Keep your chin up! You're so much better than them! I hope you enjoyed this story. I hope that it cheered you up if you were having a bad day. I hope that it reminds you that you have so much to live for, and that some stupid meanie people shouldn't be able to make you think otherwise. I love each and every one of you so much. Never forget that, either, ok? If you ever need someone to talk to, about anything at all, I will ALWAYS be here for you. I don't care if I barely know you, or if I don't know you at all, if you need someone to talk to, I WILL LISTEN. ALWAYS. I love you all so much~

'Chain Reaction' by Paul Conrad Now a Santa Monica Landmark

*Can Paul Conrad's Mushroom Cloud Sculpture in Santa Monica Be Saved?
Paul Conrad's lasting statement on the nuclear arms race, the mushroom cloud scuplture "Chain Reaction," is now an official landmark in Santa Monica.
The city's landmarks commission voted unanimously on the designation yesterday, according to Jerry "Peace Activist" Rubin, who has been fasting to save the artwork.
Conrad was a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times who died in 2010. "Chain Reaction" ...
... took the form of his newsprint style, symbolic, ironic, and never silly.
The designation, unfortunately, doesn't mean the circa 1991 chain-link sculpture of steel and fiberglass will be saved.
'Save the Chain Reaction' / Facebook
Santa Monica Patch says about a quarter-million dollars needs to be raised to preserve or it could be decommissioned.
The sculpture is corroding and might be endangered in a storm.
Rubin says the fundraising is underway:
Paul Conrad's wife Kay Conrad and son David Conrad spoke at the meeting, along with anti-nuclear community activists and artists, all urging the commissioners to support landmark designation for Conrad's unique, creative and monumental sculpture.
David Conrad said after the vote that the Conrad family and community will continue with their fundraising efforts to help repair and strengthen "Chain Reaction."

(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Feisty Latina starlet Luscious Lopez will be lending her talents to host a special two-night "Caliente Latin Dance Party" at Atlantic City's top swingers club, The RolePlay Erotic Couple Lounge on July 22 and 23.
As Atlantic Citys ultimate alternative nightclub destination, The RolePlay Erotic Couple Lounge is an erotic couples playground offering a fully legal "sexy Full Service, On-Premise environment... where anything and everything goes."
"Even in LA, swinger parties are not technically legal and are confined to cramped hotel rooms or private homes. This club brings all the kinkiness out into the open and really lets the swinger community come out and play. The club is full of beautiful open minded sexually liberated people, it's a real celebration of sex. I am happy to host a two night event and get a chance to meet fans who want to come join in all the fun" said Lopez.
"Not only can people and couples come have fun and dance, they can actually hook up with hot people they meet at the club -- right there on the spot! This club has a great layout, level one is a fun dance floor, while level two is nicely furnished. There are open areas where everyone can watch the fun or more private spots, and kinky bondage gear and sex swings are available" continued Lopez.
On Friday night, DJ Grand Master G will spin the hottest erotic beats to electrify the atmosphere, and the party continues into Saturday.
Both nights last from 9:00PM to 2:00AM, and are "Dress to Impress" and Bring Your Own Bottle.
Single men are invited to join the festivities on Friday for the cost of a cover charge, while Saturday's festivities are limited to couples and single women only. (Cover charge includes membership fees.)
Single ladies receive free admission.

Obama's jobs proposals at a glance
Wednesday - 2/13/2013, 9:21pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's emphasis on job creation recycles some old ideas and introduces some new ones, many of which face long odds in a divided Congress where Republicans have little appetite for more spending, raised taxes or new burdens on business.
Using his State of the Union address as a policy springboard, Obama launched or re-launched initiatives that aim to increase manufacturing, help communities hard hit by the recession, lower corporate taxes while eliminating corporate tax subsidies, and raise wages for low-income workers.
The ambitious plans bear a liberal imprint, but the increased spending would not add to the deficit if Congress were to also approve Obama's long-term budget blueprint to stabilize the debt with higher taxes and reductions in some government programs. Obama has proposed $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years, with about $600 billion coming from a cap on deductions claimed on individual tax returns and $900 billion from reductions in spending in various government programs including Medicare and Social Security.
Republicans have been steadfast in their opposition to higher taxes.
White House aides say Obama will detail more reductions in his budget next month that will also help pay for his jobs proposals.
A look at the key job and wage proposals in his plan. Most of the dollar figures cover spending over 10 years, but many of the proposals would spend most of the money in the early years:
-- $50 billion for infrastructure. Including a new "Fix it First" program that would identify $40 billion in projects needing the most urgent upgrades. The heavy construction industry and the Chamber of commerce support infrastructure spending. Obama has proposed this in past budget deals but has not won Republican support. Several economists praised this proposal, while also pointing out that the nation needs more than $50 billion in repairs. Obama has called for this in previous budgets.
--$15 billion to put people to work repairing or tearing down homes in neighborhoods suffering from neglect. Obama first made this proposal in 2011.
--A $6 billion tax credit to help communities that are losing a major plant. Communities could apply for the tax credit to help attract new investment. In addition, Obama would create a $113 million fund that would be divided competitively among five or six communities to help them assemble a strategy for attracting jobs.
--An Energy Security Trust financed by revenue from oil and gas development on federal lands and offshore. The trust would be used to help wean cars and trucks from gasoline by paying for research into vehicles powered by electricity, biofuels or natural gas. The White House has not put a dollar figure on this, but the main advocacy group behind the plan has proposed a $3 billion annual investment.
--$1 billion for manufacturing innovation institutes. Obama is proposing that communities and academic institutions would compete for one of 15 institutes across the country that would work with the departments of defense and energy and with business interests to develop manufacturing technologies. The administration started one pilot program in Youngstown, Ohio, last year that is focused on three-dimensional printing. The institute has attracted assistance from Honeywell, Boeing and Carnegie Mellon University.
--Corporate taxes: Obama wants to reduce corporate taxes to 28 percent, but make them even lower, 25 percent, for manufacturers. He would achieve that by closing a series of corporate tax breaks and loopholes and by putting in place a minimum tax on offshore earning by American companies. Corporations have been asking for a system that would only tax foreign profits in the countries where the profits were earned. Obama also wants to extend and increase a tax credit for research and experimentation by 20 percent. White House officials say an overhaul of corporate taxes would not be designed to generate tax revenue and would be, in budget language, "revenue neutral." But officials nevertheless say that some corporate tax breaks, such as subsidies for oil and gas companies, could be closed and the resulting revenue used to avoid automatic spending cuts scheduled to kick in March 1.
--Increase the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour by the end of 2015. Obama also would index future increases to inflation. This is new. The proposal is less than the $9.50 hourly wage he campaigned on in 2008. But White House aides say that refundable tax credits that Obama secured in 2009 are worth 75 cents an hour for a person who works full-time and has two children. They count that benefit in addition to the new proposed wage. Adjusted for inflation, the $9 minimum wage would be at the highest level since 1981, the White House says. As part of a broader plan for deficit reduction, Obama has said he would consider altering an inflation formula used to calculate government benefits, including Social Security cost-of-living increases. The proposed formula, if enacted, would mean smaller annual benefit increases and would apply to the minimum wage, according to officials

Unanswered: [1130] Feature Request : Configure where SA puts extjs file
Yet another SA3 settings configuration ER suggestion/question.
Can you please add a setting to allow us to configure where SA puts the extjs directory?
Quite often as a project ages you want to test multiple dot dot versions (or nightlies) of extjs with your all (like when 4.2.2 comes out in the next week, app is still 4.2.x series, but is dot dot release)
{path}/extjs/ext-4.2.1/ {path}/extjs/ext-4.2.2/
- allow the path of extjs to be set in the application settings
- Allowing for inhouse standards
- Allowing for a central repository to be used (instead of individual copy of library per project)
- allow multiple 'patch' (or dot dot) releases to be configured to a project
- ie: 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 so that you can test your build on that (or a nightly build) and allow for download of nightlies as well to test and build with - you have my credentials so you can check subs status to provide either free or premium list of releases/nightlies.
Also should extjs be in the 'resources' folder? (as it is a resource, seems odd to be the only thing not in there). of course a configurable path would let us follow whatever philosophy we want on the topic. ;-)
