I also frequent the DIS. However, I have very little interest in trip planning, even though I try to be as helpful as I can, and the off topics are frequently completely off topic. I'm okay with that, no problem there. I like MC because there's always new stuff going on and it's all about the parks. I think both have their place and like them both.
I like this board, although I go visit the other boards occasionally. But this one had a good quality about it. It spoke Disney better than the others.
I was on LaughingPlace back in the day. Not a bad site, but a bit on the 'uptight' side when expressing your opinions. I like MiceChat because it's more relaxed and open-minded ... for the most part
I lurk at all DL forums. I joined here b/c it was the best way to do research, and this forum has a better track record than others. I am a bonafide rumor chaser when it comes to DLR... I suppose it has become kind of a Hobby??? Either way, if I see it elsewhere, I check here. If I see that there is a certain % of possiblity to a rumor based on what ppl post here, I then move forward.
I joined TPR too, but that's b/c I am a huge themepark nut and I <3 Robb's coaster vids.
I've been a LaughingPlace guy for about 10 years. I've recently started reading and posting here more often as I"m getting ready for my first trip in three years.
I used to be a big user of DisneyForever/Mousetimes. That's where my interest started.
Since May 2003
I read the DISboard, but only belong/post here. To me DISboard is like sitting in the dining room eating a formal meal & conversing with my best manners. Micechat is like hanging out with friends in the den, feet up, snacking & 'quaffing' a cold libation.
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
I really enjoy it here at Micechat! Its part of my morning routine of "checking my stuff." I've never really tried anywhere else, I was lucky enough to find Micechat right off the bat!
Thank you Poisonedapples for my my my signature!!!
I've never been to any other board before. I joined here last year around the time of the gumball rally because my BFF found it. And I've been here ever since. First thing I did when I got my iPhone was to add a link to my screen to MC. lol. I tend to lurk more than post but I LOVE all the information and knowledge on this board!
I do appreciate me some Theme Park Review, but MiceChat overall for Disneyland content (and Knott's too) has the best mix of casual and obscure material plus friendly tone. Not all one thing (like trip planning, for example) overwhelming the boards. Very good resource.
when the spooks have a midnight jamboree....
ok so after reading this I went to laughing place and disboards and I was SO CONFUSED! MC is very organized and user friendly. And the color scheme and layout is very easy on the eyes.
-- and there are less of those bouncing little emoticon things in everyone's sig. it was giving me a headache!
So thanks MC for being so user friendly AND having such friendly knowledgeable members
MiceChat is my Narnia. I WILL NEVER. LEAVE.

At member station WEXT, Ernesto Lechner is the co-host of the weekly music program, The Latin Alternative. His choice for August's installment of "Heavy Rotation" is "Lluvia Con Sol" by Orquesta el Macabeo.

What did allyourpower do with the veto's?
Who is going to be evicted?
This is the veto ceremony.
amydunne, allyourpower, and hom0phone have all been nominated for eviction this week.
allyourpower has won Two PoV's that she has the opoortunity to use, right now.
She has decided to use the first PoV...on herself.
She has decided to use the second PoV on.....
on nobody.
With that said, soapboxrhetoric must nominate a replacement nominee. He has chosen...
"allyourpower, you totally deserved this win and i'm glad you were able to take yourself off the block since i didn't want to put you up anyway. congrats! my replacement nom is BANGLE. i really don't have a bad thing to say about you but your excessive angie stanning made my migraine worse today, seeing that shit-eating grin all over every post in a seemingly infinite series... so for that you can pop a squat."
amydunne, hom0phone, bangle you are not allowed to vote as nominees.
soapboxrhetoric you will vote, but your vote will only be counted if there is a tie.
hom0phone has one penalty vote against him for punishment for not participating in last week's eviction.
Houseguests, you will ~message~ me your votes.
There will not be a poll for you guys to vote, you must message me your vote or your vote will go uncounted and you will have an automatic penalty vote against you if you are nominated at eviction next week.
You can help decide what next week's HoH Competition is going to be!
What time of game should the HoH Comp be next week?

A new poll of anonymous shoppers shows for the third year in a row that Nordstrom is the top of the retail pack when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Austin Community College's redevelopment of the Highland Mall will continue on the fast track as $152 million of the $386 million in bond monies approved in November will be invested to create a vibrant live, work and study mixed-use development.
Changes are afoot at Cottonwood Mall on Albuquerque's Westside.
New York-based RD Management LLC paid $29.5 million for the enclosed mall on East Fowler Avenue near the University of South Florida. Here's a breakdown of the deal.
Fort Worth-based real estate development firm Trademark Property Co. and the company's joint venture partner have refinanced Uptown Village at Cedar Hill for $38.3 million, which will be used to recapitalize the property.
We recently completed a survey at BBJ.com asking readers which retailers they would most like to see in the Magic City. After receiving dozens of suggestions, five retailers clearly stood at the top of the most-wanted list. We checked with each retailer to gauge the likelihood of them coming to the Magic City.
Thanksgiving creep isn't shorthand for the unwanted brother-in-law joining you at the family dinner table this week. Instead, it's industry jargon for a me-first store war that retailers in Charlotte and across the nation hope will better their sales during the busiest time of year.
Since purchasing the store in February, Kramer has brought in 38 new tenants, including several clothing shops, restaurants and retailers.
The National Retail Federation found in its yearly survey that less people are expected to shop during this Thanksgiving weekend, but Black Friday still biggest day for shoppers and retailers.
Black Friday is almost here, which means shoppers around the country will be waiting in lines at stores for the best pre-Holiday deals. But in recent years more and more stores have been opening doors on Thanksgiving and every year it gets closer to mealtime.
H&M said there's an Alabama expansion coming but wouldn't name locations.
Graham Weston filed a 10b5-1 trading plan to purchase $2.5 million in Rackspace stock, with an option to purchase even more over the next year.
Scott Beck reimagines Dallas Midtown, AMC Theatres
Hoffman's Chocolates will open holiday kiosks in the Coral Square and the Westfield Broward malls on Saturday.
As the International Council of Shopping Centers' Texas conference gets in full swing, Dallas developer Scott Beck is showing off new plans for his massive $3.5 billion Dallas Midtown redevelopment.

Drone technology is driving the aerospace industry as companies trip over each other trying to develop the next big thing. Here's a good example of what we're talking about.
The Nintendo Light Gun makes a perfect burning laser. Of course it's been gutted to make this happen. Nonetheless, the retro look can't be beat, and the gun form factor is just what you need in a laser weapon.
Lasers normally emit only one color, or frequency of light. This is true for laser pointers or the laser diodes in a DVD player. [Kevin] caught wind of state-of-the-art research into making variable wavelength lasers using shaken grains of metal and decided to build his own.
[Michiel] gave us a little shout-out by drawing the Hackaday logo with his recently completed 16×8 pixel laser projector. It uses a spinning set of mirrors mounted at slightly different angles to redirect the path of the red laser diode.
[Jerry] missed the laser cutters he had been using at the local TechShop. It closed down and after seeing some hardware in a surplus store he decided to build a laser cutter to call his own.
Here's a way of transmitting audio that makes it virtually impossible for someone else to listen in. Instead of sending radio waves bouncing all over creation, this uses the focused light of a laser to transmit audio.
[Gjoci] just became a father, and to make up for not having to carry a baby to term he decided to make himself useful in another way. He developed a sensor to detect a baby's breathing, allaying the fears of nervous parents who are wondering why their child is so quiet.
Femto-photography is a term that derives its name from the metric scale's prefix for one-quadrillionth. When combined with photography this division of time is small enough to see groups of light photons moving.
[Smells of Bikes] wanted to add laser etching to the list of tricks his home CNC setup is capable of. He has a diode which will work for the task, but he needed a driver that could be interfaced with the CNC system.
What better way to spend a few months in the workshop than by heating Copper�chloride�to 400° C, building rotary spark gaps and 30kV capacitors, playing with high vacuums and building a very powerful laser? It's just a day in [Jon]'s life as he builds a DIY Copper vapor laser.

Even the big name foreign-exchange traders, usually among the most risk-prone, are feeling fearful.
So in a city now crammed with a plethora of big name chefs is a sentimental journey enough to entice the movers and shakers?
A lot of times, kids put so much emphasis on a big name rather than what school is right for them.

"I was even with my husband one time when a policewoman gave me a warning about bad hijab," she says.
He signed with her in October 1993, right after a fight against Texas policewoman Melinda Robinson in Miami.

The work was part of the Arbor Day of Service.
On Arbor Day, April 27, 2012, nearly four hundred Massachusetts Arborists Association (MAA) members took part in a statewide volunteer effort called Arbor Day of Service. Building on the association's tradition of giving back, the annual service day allows tree care professionals to have a direct impact in their local communities and draws attention to the importance of proper tree care and tree planting.
"It was an awe-inspiring effort," said MAA president Mike Maley of CedarLawn Tree Service in Ashland, Mass. "Through this annual stewardship project, MAA volunteers have helped prune, plant, and properly maintain thousands of trees. In these challenging economic times, hundreds of our members have stepped forward and made a real difference to the health and safety of trees at no cost to many cities, towns, and non-profit organizations across the Commonwealth."
More than 40 Massachusetts communities received an estimated $250,000 in professional arboriculture services. The MAA partnered with local tree wardens, community leaders, and civic organizations to identify worthy projects in need of professional tree care. Professional arborists contributed their tree planting, safety pruning, and plant health care expertise at Arbor Day of Service project sites including city parks, elementary schools, community playgrounds, and town libraries. More than 2,600 volunteer hours were recorded that day.
When it comes to hiring, make sure to focus on the most important part: interviewing.
The way you treat your clients is a direct result of the culture you have at your organization.
The company has partnered with ACE Franchise Services to boost sales and growth.
The three Ohio State University staff have had a major impact on the industry.
The wheel loader lineup will now adhere to Final Tier 4 emissions standards.

And The Team to beat is KTM. Hopefully, with Husky/SpeedBrain, HRC and Yamaha committed to this race, we can only hope they keep learning and taking notes, and here's to a brilliant 2014 edition with more upsets, more varied stage winners and -if all goes well- a new Dakar winner.,,
Yeah, I hear you say that there is still a stage and a half, but after witnessing Le Patron's strategy today, can there really be any doubt left? A worthy title for team orange & Cyril once again, I am hoping this display of race craft can only inspire the other teams, get them thinking hard and make them work
Right, I'm off to get some rest, and happy to be riding orange. Ever since my first SuperCompetition 620 (yeah that's what EXC's were called back in '95), and witnessing Heinz' purple Dakar machine, I have rooted for this team, a David amongst Goliaths when it first dared enter the Dakar... 18 years on, who would have guessed. More power to them, they are a case study in how to dominate
rant over, catch you all tomorrow
Nate in N.E.
Yes, I have a Dakar problem -- that there are 50 weeks of the year without Dakar!
They don't expect you to finish. That's why it's the Dakar. -- PPiA

Will Taylor Swift, Lorde Collaborate?
The only thing better than '1989' and 'Pure Heroine' would be if Taylor Swift and Lorde joined forces for an epic collaboration
The only thing better than '1989' and 'Pure Heroine' would be if Taylor Swift and Lorde joined forces for an epic collaboration
The 2015 Golden Globe Awards are finally here, and our favorite stars are turning it out on the red carpet!
Lorde decided to post part of an unreleased song she recorded in 2013 on Tumblr, and we're totally obsessed with it.
Talk about your in flight entertainment!
Lorde talked with Jimmy Fallon about posing as Taylor Swift's manager. She also performed 'Yellow Flicker Beat.'
Two San Francisco-area radio stations have banned Lorde from their airwaves in lieu of the upcoming World Series. Say what?
"Weird Al" Yankovic has released the video for his latest parody, 'Foil,' which borrows from Lorde's breakout hit, 'Royals.' The song is featured on his new album titled 'Mandatory Fun.'
Brick and mortar bookstores are becoming harder and harder to come by. With the invention of ereaders, many have taken all of their reading digital to conserve time, money and space. But, if you're like me, you still like the feeling of having the physical book in your hand, still love browsing through the rows and rows of books at bookstores, and have a deep love for "new book smell."
Schuler Books in Grand Rapids had to close the doors of two of their three stores in Grand Rapids the past couple years, but their store at 2660 28th Street SE remains. They decided to parody Lorde's "Royals" with their own version "Indies" to discuss the advantages of going to a bookstore as opposed to just downloading books.
Iggy Azalea slams Lorde for joining singing with Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The second day of Coachella 2014 continued Saturday with a stellar lineup of bands that not only included big name acts such as Lorde, Pharrell Williams, Capital Cities, CHVRCHES, Skrillex and Foster the People, but also brought out some really amazing surprise guests, including Gwen Stefani, Jay-Z and Beyonce. Here is a quick recap of what happened last night :
Lollapalooza 2014 is gearing up to be a fantastic experience for any music lover. Wednesday morning, organizers finally released their long-awaited full lineup for this year's festival and it's definitely going to be a star-studded and awesome weekend of music.
Eminem will be returning as a headliner (he also headlined in 2011), and will be joined by Outkast, and Kings of Leon. Tickets for individual days go on sale Wednesday morning.

JC Penney 1Q profit slides on pension expense
NEW YORK J.C. Penney Co. said Friday that its first-quarter profit tumbled 79 percent because of a big pension expense, but it narrowly beat analysts' estimates as its expenses fell and demand remained strong for the Sephora cosmetics and American Living merchandise it sells.
Looking ahead, the department store chain said it will miss Wall Street's full-year forecast because of soft consumer spending and weak mall traffic.
Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney earned $25 million, or 11 cents per share, for the quarter that ended May 2. That compares with $120 million, or 54 cents per share, a year earlier.
Penney's sales dropped 6 percent to $3.88 billion from $4.13 billion in the period a year earlier.
The company is making a payment of $81 million toward pension costs each quarter this year, starting with the first quarter.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, who generally exclude one-time items, on average expected the company to earn 10 cents per share on revenue of $3.88 billion. It's not clear exactly how that forecast compares with the company's unadjusted earnings per share.
Sales at stores open at least a year, known as same-store sales, fell 7.5 percent as weakness in its fine jewelry business countered strong sales of women's apparel. Same-store sales is considered a key metric of a retailer's health because it excludes stores that have opened or closed during the year.
Chairman and Chief Executive Myron E. Ullman III cautioned that the company still expects soft consumer spending and mall traffic for the rest of the year.
Ullman, who took the helm in 2004, has planed store expansions and spearheaded initiatives to lure young and trendy customers to its stores, as consumer spending has remained weak. Department stores have been among the retailers hit hardest during the recession as shoppers have focused on necessities, such as groceries. Macy's Inc. reported this week that its first-quarter loss widened, and Nordstrom Inc. posted a 32 percent drop in quarterly profit on Thursday.
J.C. Penney said it will open more Sephora cosmetics counters because their sales are so strong. During the first quarter, Sephora opened counters inside 14 J.C. Penney stores, for a total of 105 at the end of the first quarter. J.C. Penney hopes to host 155 Sephora counters at the end of the year. Sephora is owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
Meanwhile, J.C. Penney's president and chief merchandising officer, Ken Hicks, said shoppers are still lining up for merchandise from American Living, an exclusive collection introduced last year that is part of an alliance with Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.
"So far in 2009, American Living is ahead of both last year and our plan in sales and gross margin," Hicks said on a conference call with analysts.
Looking ahead, J.C. Penney predicts full-year earnings of 50 cents to 65 cents per share. Analysts had expected a profit of 76 cents per share.
The retailer anticipates a second-quarter loss of 15 cents to 25 cents per share and foresees its second-quarter sales dropping between 7 percent and 10 percent. It had sales of $4.28 billion in the prior-year period so that implies second-quarter sales of $3.85 billion to $3.98 billion.

I suggest you try creating a new User Tool and seeing if you have the same problems. You can export the current tool as text (if it will) or you can merge it into a new blank user tool (again, if it lets you). Either of these should remove any corruption. You can have any number of user tools, there is no need to put everytjing in the one file, and it may be more stable that way.
User tools do get corrupted at times. It's a very difficult task to accept text in many formats and handle it correctly.
Posted 13 July 2009 - 12:12 PM
I have the same problem now and then. Usually, I can simply hit the left align button in the text palette and the text realigns itself properly.
Thank You, that did the trick for me!

Super Sherpa thread

Heres my 01 sherpa. Not many miles, but it sure is a fun ride. Ive got a trip planned for mid sept in the Black Hills.
Ive got some extensions for both mirrors, so its much easier to see behind me now. I wasnt used to having to shift my body, so I could see over my shoulders.
The red cap over the key socket, is to remind me, that theres a padlock in the rear disk...Its a good reminder for preventing those senior moments.
The center black box is the hour meter/tachometer. Really handy for keeping an eye on what revs its pulling.
Ive also changed both sprokets. I went one tooth bigger on front, and 3 teeth smaller on rear. The chain is stock, and didnt need to be broken. It will effortlessly cruise at 70mph now. Only downside, is that first gear is even more useless on the trail, its noticeably taller than stock. I had to modify a rear sproket from a klx300, as no one I know, has a 3 tooth smaller rear sproket for the sherpa. I milled out the ID, and added the correct hole spacing, luckily I have access to a CNC mill.
Ive also changed the pilot jet, to a #20, and it starts and idles so much better, especially on cold days.
Ive added some very bright red LEDs to the rack, and a strip LED light above the licence plate. Its pretty intense at night.

Richard Barasch - Chief Executive Officer
Thank you. We do have a little action now in our world. I am going to talk about that a little bit, but again just starting off, and I think none of these changes. The one thing I have been saying pretty consistently to investors and other web servers over the past couple of weeks relative to the 45-day notices, yes, this is a problem. It will royal the MA market, if it doesn't get modified. I think there is some reason to think that we will get some relief on this, but the real issue is we still got to deal with these issues.
Medicare and Medicaid are still enormous. They are not going away. In fact, they are getting even. So, what's so interesting is there is sort of the conspiracy view that the administration is finally getting its way with Medicare Advantage. I don't subscribe to that view. I think this was just a series of circumstances that got us to a point of a rate adjustment that kind of everybody realizes too much and there needs to be some sort of stability brought to the market, because there will in fact be a lot of changes in the market if this stays, but this is one year on the way toward a movement that I think is going to happen anyway, which is fundamentally the privatization of the government programs in this country, you could see it happening at the state level, blue states like New York and California. This is interesting. I don't know if you have heard this statistic, but the largest procurement in history is the California dualist procurement that just in process of being put into place. So, in the shift of money from the public sectors spending directly to the public sectors spending it through private companies is happening, it's happening fast, it's not going to stop.
So, what I would just, I know everybody is invest in a different way whether it's short-term thinking or a little bit longer term thinking, but this whatever happens with this MA issue is temporary in my view, and it still doesn't change the fact that we are moving toward the privatization of most health insurance in this country. I always chuckle when people talk about Obamacare and the exchanges as socialized medicine. It couldn't be any further from socialized medicine. It's regulated. There is a lot of rules around it, but it's basically saying to the private companies, hey, we are giving you a set of rules, you bid to these rules and kind of the market is going to determine who the winners and who the losers are. So, I think this notion of socialized medicine is kind of crazy.
And the other thing that I find very interesting and this is when there are so many interesting parts about healthcare, the fact that President Obama was called the Ryan plan a voucher plan in a derogatory way talking about how that will be bad for seniors. Well, in fact the exchanges are the same thing what Ryan is talking about. It's not a perfect analogy, but what Ryan is talking about is a program that gives people choice and gives people subsidy to pay for that choice.
Fundamentally, the exchanges are the same thing. If you can afford it on the exchanges to paid out of your own pocket, if you can't you get a subsidy. So, it's actually pretty interesting and I would – let's say if I were a betting man, I would bet on this. I am actually a betting man, because I run a company in this business. I think we are heading toward some sort of defined contribution in Medicare one way or the other. So, having said that, '14, there is a lot of different ranges of results for companies like ours in '14. Obviously, we are looking at markets, we are looking at margins, we are looking at benefits, we are looking at the whole mix, and we will see sort of how this all will shake through on a temporary basis, but those of you who get a little bit nervous about being invested in this sector should just every once in a while pull this chart out and realize two things. This is happening and the government is the process of outsourcing almost all of this to the private sector. So, the opportunities just are enormous. And if you've got sort of the steel to kind of move from point-to-point on this without getting too crazy about what happens year-to-year, I think you will be rewarded appropriately over time.
This is our company in '12 we had a good year. We are a company in transition. Basically as you know, we have the second largest Part D program, we sold it. One thing that I think is incontrovertible by Universal American is when we act for the benefit of our shareholders, when it's time to sell a company we do, when it's time to give money back to shareholders we do, when it's time to invest in our opinion we do that as well. I think the fact that most of our company is owned – most of our Board is owners, people with a lot of stock changes the dynamic of that conversation quite substantially. And we really think about creating shareholder value, not just in a sort of an amorphous sense, but in a tangible sense. Also we have given back $17 of money to our shareholders in the past two and a half, three years.

Daytona 500 Stories tells the story of every Daytona 500 race. Beginning with the first race in 1959 to the present, you'll learn the facts about each event. William "Big Bill" France had a vision for a large track nestled along the famous sands of Daytona Beach, Florida. The high banked 2 1/2 mile speedway, shaped like the letter "D" was called a tri oval.
Do you know who finished in first and second, then 2 years later crashed out of the track?Who was declared the first winner of the first race?Which driver dominated the 500, leading 3/4 of the race, but didn't win?Who was the first driver to win the Daytona 500 in February and the Firecracker race in July in the same year?What driver dominated the 500, then had his car banned the next year?Which lady racer was the first female to compete in the Daytonal 500?Which US President was the first to visit a race at Daytona?Who was the driver who pulled another driver from his burning car, then won the 500?Who are the 3 sets of father/son Daytona 500 winners?Which family, grandfather, father, and son have competed at DIS?Who was the first driver to crash into Lake Lloyd?When did the qualifying races go from 100 miles, to 125 miles, to 150 miles?
February Speed Week starts on Sunday with time trials, and Thursday qualifying races for the Cup cars. Friday is when the Trucks compete, and Saturday is for the Sportsman race which is now called the Nationwide Series. Sunday is the Great American Race, the Daytona 500.
The first Saturday in July is the Firecracker 400.
If you want to race, Daytona is the place!

That's shameful.

That's shameful.
The team played bad down the stretch, but they have made the playoffs the last two years, and the team is spending more money than ever. The players are still rather young so the window of opportunity is still there for another few years. What the Reds do this off season will say a lot. They have to resign Bailey, they need to fill left field, and they have to figure out the catching situation. The platoon system between Hannigan and Mesoraco isn't working.
First lets start by finding a capable manager. Next I'm all for getting Brian McCann for our everyday catcher. Resigning Choo would really tickle me he would be a very good Left Fielder. He would also make a great 2 hole guy behind Hamilton! Bailey is a must resign, he's finally starting to figure it out! And a new hitting coach. This team is set up to play small ball and we need a manager and hitting coach who recognizes that! Next we need some gritty guys on the bench who know there role but are leaders.
Wow, I bet the players don't know this... or any of the reporters. If they did, I wouldn't see all these happy go lucky stories for the pirates fan base. This stat could very well be the most shameful stat ive ever read with knowing this team and how they have performed last few years (making playoffs but can't win one game at home!!)
Hanigan and Mesoraco is an interesting dilemma. They were horrible offensively. Yet Hanny is one of the top 3-4 defensive catchers in the NL and Mes has real potential in his bat. I look to trade Hanigan for a mid level prospect (don't laugh, as a top defensive backstop Ryan would easily fetch a decent mid level prospect - no top 20 guy but still a guy with potential)and end the platoon nightmare for Mes. Sign a backup from the scrap heap (there are several uninspiring but capable as backup types). Make Devin the majority catcher and lets see if 2014 is the year his bat catches up to his potential. Barnhart should be ready as his backup by mid summer or 2015. McCann? No way. I'm not giving up on Mesoraco yet. I can spend that money better.
Left field? You better get ready for, and hope for, a healthy Ludwick. They are not going to pay him to sit on the bench while someone else plays. Face it.
They are not going to re-sign Choo. That's my prediction. And ready or not (not) Billy Hamilton opens in CF. I hope they can extend Latos because I seriously doubt Bailey will sign. Homer Bailey is not going to stay in Cincinnati. Enjoy him in 2014. This will be a boring frustrating winter. Playing in the dumpster, finding cheap replacements for Izturis, Parra and 1 or 2 others. Maybe a backup move - like Hanigan above, or Hi-C or Paul for someone similar to change some faces. Truthfully, at this moment I am nervous about 2014. Visions of 2011. I hope I am wrong and some meaningful moves are made this winter.
The only playoff game I ever attended, I am 1-0.

Keramati said it's the responsibility of a legislator to protect the public and if there's enough scientific data to prove something is harmful, should put proper incentives in place to drive people away from it.
"Healthcare is a huge cost in our nation I am for the government to control sugary drinks and when we put a large tax on cigarettes their use when down significantly," said Keramati.
Tedisco rebutted, saying the cigarette tax might discourage people from smoking, but that means they're not paying taxes on cigarettes.
"If from smoking they won't pay taxes on cigarettes I'm trying to say they're talking out both sides of their mouth," said Tedisco.
Campaign funds were an issue, with Keramati calling for full public funding of campaigns and Tedisco pushing for legislation on bundling.
"I think the effect of money on politics is so corrupting I am for full public funding of elections. It doesn't take a lot of money, compared to the overall budget it's peanuts. If they get elected using public funding, we know they're working for us and I think any other measure will be a band aid," said Keramati.
"The thing that concerns me about having taxpayers fund elections is they support me and my opponents because they believe in our ideaswhat if a candidate is a Ku Klux Klan member I don't want my taxpayer dollars forced to pay for candidate that have nothing to do with what my constituents agree with and then we will have a bunch of millionaires running for Congress," said Tedisco.
A big question posed to both candidates was regarding the government lockdown and how to avoid it. Keramati said it comes down to trust in the legislature.
"What an ugly year for the state of New York the fundamental problem we have in the state is we don't trust our legislators, don't trust they're working for us. We prevent that starting from reforms I talked about which is campaign finance reform so they at least have the right motivation," said Keramati, who closed saying every problem is an opportunity if treated correctly.

Hi Abhishek,
Really its a nice list of smart phones. in my opinion moto E is the best and maximum selling smart phone in short time at Flipkart and now its price at at Flipkart is RS 9999.
Thanks for sharing this list.
I found this post on Kingged.com and kingged it

Hi Abhishek,
Wow what an article. I have an iPhone . . . but it is interesting to see what else is out there. I am a Windows person, but for some reason I jumped over to Apple for the phone and am a dedicated iPhone user.
But wow you showed some choices for people.
I didn't know the info you talk about under the Micromax Canvas section. Really? You said "Micromax said it was going to release new Canvas smartphones every month." I really did not know that any company would even think of doing that. You know in iPhone land that never happens. And, I am glad. I like knowing that what I have is not going to be obsolete in the next few months.
Then you expanded and said Samsung releases new phones frequently. I did not know this. I am a little isolated with the iPhone. So, this is very interesting.
Abhishek, this is a lot of research. Good job on an informative post.

A common list. List of these kind of phones are very common almost every blog is sharing list on phones. Domain name is All Tech Trix and I think you should stick with Tricks.
I hope you'll take my comment in positive sense.
Kuldeep recently posted…Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date
I am surprised to see XOLO's mobile in top5 instead of Samsung's mobile. I mean, are you sure that there is not a great phone from Samsung in the range of 10K better than Xolo mobiles mentioned here.
I would say, Motorola Moto E is really a great phone. I recommend this phone at #1 instead of Nokia Lumia 525. As Android 4.0 is always better than Windows 8.1 (personal opinion).
Anyways, thanks for sharing it on Kingged.com.
Seems like you've listed out all the latest smartphones which are under 10K, actually I was kinda checking new mobiles in the budget to purchase for my brother as a gift.
Thanks for share
Samir recently posted…TOP 10 Google Play Store Banned apps
This year saw a huge increase in low range smartphone keeping in mind the growing needs and expectations of the user from a smartphone.
Moto E and Nokia Lumia 525 created great heat among the ' under 10k " section. But, sadly Lumia 525 seems to be getting quite a lot of complains about the heating issue during gaming. Many folks have reported that it gets heated up after 10-20 minutes of gaming. Moreover, Nokia Lumia is highly popular for it's advanced camera technology but still they came up with an average 5 MP cam for 525. After all, What more can we expect for a 10k smartphone
Well, Isn't HTC Desire 210 fit to enter this list ?
Good list Abhishek
Sourav recently posted…How to Make a Chart-Busting Million-Dollar Smartphone App
You should mention the best phone which had come latest in market and beats all these phones which is Xiaomi Mi 3, but its under Rs.15,000/-
Hi there,
That's another blazing post from you! The reasons behind the appreciation are the efforts and the research you do before writing any post. I've to learn a lot from you!
You made a good decision by not including Samsung in this list. They are not fit for budget smartphones. Even if they launch some, the specifications are far less as compared to its rival companies!
Another good decision was the inculsion of two Xolo smartphones. They're really good at making cheap and quality smartphones.
I am amazed to see that you've included Micromax. They just rebrand devices purchased from Chinese OEMs. Thus, though the specifications are attractive, the quality is at its worst. How about including Sony Xpera E/M in its place?
Asus is a new smartphone company. But, let me be honest! The reviews have freaked me out! The specifications are just…..MIND BLOWING! And the hands-on reviews as well are positive! Your research is perfect! The smartphone truly deserves the crown!
No more words to say! Have a nice day!

Laid Back guy looking for a laid back girl so i can release my inner hopeless romantic
I'm a guy who enjoys the little things in life like a thunderstorm in the summer or finding a movie i haven't seen in years on TV. I have a lot of interests so its hard for someone to tell me we have nothing in common. But i will say i find that the more common interests i have with a girl, the better. I love movies, theater, art, traveling, hanging out, cuddling, sports, heated debates, good TV, stand up comedy, etc. See, a lot of interests so it's almost impossible to say we have nothing in common. Basically, I'm looking for a girl who's nice, laid back, independent, a lot fun to be around, and has a good amount of things in common with me. Doesn't have to be a lot in common but enough so that we can do things together and have fun in each other's company.

iPhone: Evomail wasn't a bad iOS mail client when it first launched. It was simple, but packed in the features that mattered and allowed you to triage your email on the go. Today they're relaunching with a completely new interface and feature set. »

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest Arab country of the Middle East. It is bordered by Jordan and Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south. The Arab Gulf lies to the northeast and the Red Sea to its west.
The origins of Saudi Arabia go back as far as 1744 with the establishment of the first Saudi State. The formation of the current Kingdom began in 1902, when Abdul-Aziz bin Saud captured the Al-Saud's ancestral home of Riyadh, and culminated in 1932 with the proclamation and recognition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is a traditional monarchy. King Salman succeeded to the throne on 23 January 2015, following the death of his brother, the late King Abdullah. The King is assisted by a Council of Ministers that he appoints. In recent years the consultative Shura Council, which consists of 150 individuals appointed by the King, has developed a modest but increasing role in public debate. Municipal elections were held in 2005, and a second round held in 2011.
Saudi Arabia is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It is a member of the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the G20, the United Nations, World Trade Organization (WTO) and Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Australia and Saudi Arabia enjoy a friendly and substantive relationship, underpinned by commercial ties and supported by shared membership in the G20 as well as Australia's engagement with the Gulf Cooperation Council and Organization of Islamic Cooperation. People-to-people contacts are also an important aspect of the relationship, with over 10,000 Saudi enrolments at Australian education institutions in 2014.
Saudi Arabia is Australia's second largest trading partner in the Middle East region. There is significant potential for economic ties to grow, given areas of complementarity in agriculture, education and construction. The establishment of the Australia Saudi Business Council in 2013 also supports the promotion of bilateral business ties.
With a population of around 29 million and nearly 20 per cent of the world's conventional oil reserves, Saudi Arabia is the Middle East's largest economy. While the private, non-oil sector's contribution to GDP has increased over the past decade, oil and oil derivatives still account for around 90 per cent of Saudi export earnings and government revenues, and about 30 per cent of GDP. Ambitious plans for further investment in the development of the petrochemicals, oil refining, phosphates and gas sectors could further increase the percentage of oil and oil derivatives in export revenues.
The Kingdom's economy weathered global economic turmoil better than most countries, maintaining GDP growth. Real GDP growth in 2014 was 3.6 per cent, according to Forbes Magazine. The growing economy has been matched by an increase in demand for imports, driven largely by massive construction projects.
The Saudi Government initiated structural reform measures in the 1990s designed to encourage privatisation, liberalise foreign trade and reform investment regimes. Commercial laws were revised and initial steps were taken to free up foreign investment and privatise parts of the state sector. This agenda continues, with a focus on economic diversity and privatisation. In March 2007, the opening of new sectors to foreign investment including insurance services, wholesale/retail trade, communications services and air/rail transport services, was announced. Education and skills development are a major focus for the government. The approximately $5 billion King Abdullah Scholarship Program (KASP), launched in 2005, funds over 185,000 young Saudis to undertake tertiary studies abroad. The KASP has recently been renewed for another five years to 2019. Australia is an approved destination for Saudi students under the KASP. The Saudi Government is also engaged in a major program for the construction of educational institutions in Saudi Arabia, with a budget allocation of $52 billion in 2013.
As Australia's second largest market in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is an important trading partner for Australia. In 2013-14, Australia's merchandise exports to Saudi Arabia totaled $2.244 billion. Passenger motor vehicles were Australia's largest commodity export to Saudi Arabia, worth $716 million in 2013-14. Other major exports were barley, beef and wheat.
Saudi Arabia is also a substantial market for dairy products, vehicle parts and accessories, as well as a growing market for fresh vegetables, refined metals and information communications technology products.
Services' exports, notably education, are also significant. A large number of Saudi tertiary students study in Australia, mostly under the King Abdullah Scholarship Program. In 2014, there were more than 10,100 Saudi enrolments in Australian educational institutions, with Saudi students representing the largest contingent from the Middle East region.
Australia-Saudi business ties have expanded. The March 2013 Joint Ministerial Commission meeting saw the signing of a MoU between the Australia-Saudi Business Council and the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce establishing the Australia Saudi Joint Business Council. The establishment of the Saudi-based chapter, the Saudi-Australian Business Council, was formally approved in July 2014.
Saudi Arabia's needs are well suited to Australian capabilities. Saudi Arabia has a sound economy with a fast-growing and young population, a well-managed banking system, good infrastructure, and generally low import duties and barriers. Its business community is sophisticated and familiar with Western practices. Austrade is represented in both Riyadh and Jeddah.

VIDEO: Chivas USA 'keeper Dan Kennedy scores the winner in Open Cup
May 29, 2013, 8:43 AM EDT
First Dan Kennedy ran up the field and tried to score a free kick last weekend against Real Salt Lake.
That didn't happen.
But last night in Chivas USA's narrow Open Cup win over the LA Blues of the USL Pro, Kennedy stepped up to take a penalty kick in the 62nd minute. The score was locked at 1-1, after Chivas had trailed 1-0.
Kennedy drilled it home straight down the middle. What. A. Moment.
The Goats captain sent waves of disbelief and delight across the onlooking soccer community, on an already special night where upsets and overtime had caused plenty of headlines. And just yesterday we spoke about Club America goalkeeper Moises Munoz scoring a late goal in their dramatic Liga MX title win.
What is going on with 'keepers scoring?
Either way, maybe all this positive energy will help Chivas pick things up in league action? It certainly won't harm them.
Speaking about his goal, 'keeper Kennedy had this to say. "We struggled with some penalties earlier in the year, so we did some competitions and I came out on top. I think I earned it." Thanks to their goalscoring goalkeeper, Chivas will now face either the LA Galaxy or Carolina RailHawks in the fourth round on June 12.
So due to it being the opening rounds of the Open Cup at LA Blues' Titan Stadium, not many camera crews were there filming this one.
But don't worry, someone got it on their cell phone. Thank you technology, you rock.
The evidence of Chivas USA 'keeper Dan Kennedy scoring the game-winner to send his team through to the fourth round of the Open Cup, is here for all to see.
Now almost every MLS fan will be willing Chivas to get multiple penalties, so Kennedy can soar up the scoring charts. You guys should probably pick him up for your MLS Fantasy teams… just a thought!
Without further delay, here it is. The best video of Dan Kennedy's game-winning penalty kick in Open Cup action.
