Hub, just replied to one of my post with the above quote -- and I liked it so much, I thought it would make a good new topic for discussion! (Thanks, Hub!)
It's real easy for us alcoholics to get stuck in our sordid and morbid past.
The past is not important.
The past is not going to keep us sober.
The past is not going to be what makes our lives get better.
The most important thing is: "What am I doing now? And, HOW am I doing it?"
If I'm not doing something today -- that's at least a little bit different than I did yesterday, it won't be long until I've totally slipped into my past way of doing things -- and of living my life.
It's that constant, disciplined, consistent and persistent effort -- to move forward in Life, which will make the determining difference in my todays and my yesterdays of the future.
What am I doing differently TODAY? Not this week. Not lately. Not yesterday. TODAY.
How, am I doing it any different TODAY -- than I did it yesterday?
I learned that my changes do not have to be fast and dramatic. They just need to be tiny little incremental changes -- which over time, really make a difference in my life.
I had a pilot of an airplane tell me once (I'm not a pilot) that an airplane spends most of is time "off course".
So, I ask him -- "If it's off course most of the time -- how the heck does it ever get to where it's going?"
He replied, "Because the pilot and the instruments spend most of their time & effort -- getting the plane back on course." Really?
I thought to myself -- that's almost like a metaphor of my life! LOL. I spend most of my time off course -- and most of my effort is spent on getting back on course. Tiny changes -- to keep me on course, that will eventually change my destiny and my landing place in life.

Of what value is the vice presidency?
Sandy Levinson
If one were designing a new constitution, whether for the U.S., a state, or a foreign country, what would commend including the office of the vice-presidency or its equivalent, such as lieutenant governor with no independent responsibilities? The quick answer--it solves the succession problem--is true, but trivial. One could solve the succession problem through a legislative succession-in-office act, as we currently do beyond the VP, or, if one likes rigid solutions, one could put the line of succession in the Constitution itself, but, all importantly, not give the designated successor a fixed term. As Jonathan Chausovsky has suggested to me, although we obviously had VPs from the beginning, the only two who became presidents were Adams and Jefferson (by election, of course). Otherwise, for many years the president in effect used the office of Secretary of State to announce his designated successor. This, indeed, makes a lot of sense. As almost everyone recognizes, there's nothing particularly useful for a VP to do other than to wait around for the President to die. Although the Lieutenant Governor of Texas is a major political figure who in effect runs the Texas Senate, that's certainly not the role played by the President of the United States Senate. Moreover, service as Secretary of State is extremely useful in demonstrating the putative president's capacity for judgment (not to mention ability to manage a bureaucracy and an education in foreign policy). If he/she fails the test, then the president can axe him/her and find someone more suited to inhabit the Oval Office should it prove necessary.
What C. Ryan said.
And Martin van Buren.
Additionally, and I'm a bit surprised to see Sanford Levinson not noting Gore, who won the popular vote.
New Jersey voters approved a constitutional amendment in November of 2005 that, for the first time, provides for a lieutenant governor, who will be elected with the governor starting in 2009. Prior to that development, the NJ Constitution had stipulated for the president of the senate would become the governor in the event of a vacancy, which has happened twice in recent years.
How about making the VP competitive election-wise so that the VP might be of a difffent party than the President?
Assuming you're serious, we tried that already and it led to bitter factionalism within the Executive Branch. Election of 1796 demonstrates that. You could probably fix the quirk that led to Election of 1800 issues, but why would you want to? If you're going to have a Vice-Presidency, it might as well advance the agenda of the Executive and add a further impediment to enacting policy.
Also, Nixon became President. Was Prof. Levinson just referring to events soon after the Constitutional founding?
I was referring only to VP picks. George HW Bush was a fine pick in terms of his experience, resume, and, as it turned out, his basic judgment. I didn't mention Gore because he, too, was a completely plausible pick (as I conceded that Cheney was).
I should have mentioned Van Buren. I was thinking of our "early" presidents, but Jackson is close enough. I note, though, that his first VP was Calhoun, which cuts both ways. He was, in some ways, qualified, though one can easily think that it would have been absolutely disastrous had he become president.
As I've written earlier, I think it is important that any succession plan not bring about a change in party control. That was, presumably, one factor behind New Jersey's rejection of succession in the president of the Senate, who could easily be of the opposite party. But there are easier ways of handling this than electing a "do-nothing" lieutenant governor who may be selected only for very short-term political calculations and not at all (or at least very much) with regard to his/her qualifications to be governor.
It's a miserable office with a high rate of unsuitable picks
Whew...one should read that slowly, or it could be mistaken for something quite ribald.
Factor in the current vice president's surrealistic assertion that his office is not part of the executive branch but rather is somewhere between the executive and legislative.
we tried that already and it led to bitter factionalism within the Executive Branch. Election of 1796 demonstrates that.
I'm not aware of any problems within the Executive Branch caused by Jefferson's role as VP. His conduct as Secretary of State and Hamilton's as Treasury Secretary disrupted the Executive Branch far more. The VP has so little formal power that it would be hard for any VP to actually disrupt much.
There have been VP's who tried: Burr, Clinton (George), and Calhoun all did. They plotted against the Administration (in general without effect) and cast an occasional tie-breaking vote in the Senate. If that's the worst we have to fear from a VP of the opposite party, then I personally think it's worth the cost of avoiding some of those Prof. Levinson mentioned.
I think it is important that any succession plan not bring about a change in party control.
I'm not sure I agree, but I do think that there need to be safeguards in case the VP is of a different party. We do want to avoid purely partisan removals of the President. One possibility might be to allow the VP to succeed in order to fill out the current term, but then make him/her ineligible for any future office, state or federal.
Well the VP also casts tie-breakers in the Senate. Constitutionally the VP does little else (except waiting for the President to pass on). But intitutionally, starting with Carter, the VP has become an influential advisor for the President, something like a chief-chief-of-staff.
I'm not aware of any particular qualifications that Barkley had to be President. By all accounts, he was an amiable man who told good stories. He was also 71 at the time of his election to the vice presidency. I don't want to be too ageist, but I think that counts as an additional mark against Truman's choosing him. It only underscored the basic contempt with which most most presidents treated the office. Truman was not a genuinely reflective choice on FDR's part; we're extremely lucky that he was as good as he was. No sane political system relies on blind luck in such circumstances.
Well, Barkley had served in the House (1913-27) and the Senate (1927-49; Majority Leader, 1937-47, Minority Leader, 1947-49.) This may not have qualified him to be president, but suggests he was something more than just congressional chopped liver.

LOWVILLE Lewis County legislators on Tuesday approved opening 4.8 miles of county roads near Constableville to all-terrain-vehicle traffic, despite one lawmakers concern of overly extensive road usage in the trail system.
Lawmakers passed five separate laws opening segments of Byrons Corners, Highmarket and Mackay roads to ATVs by identical 9-1 votes.
Theres a whole lot more roads than there are trails, said Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, who cast the dissenting votes.
A couple of lawsuits challenging past county ATV road openings are also still pending, and judges decisions in those could potentially raise new legal questions for the current proposal, he said.
Legislator Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden, said that Clifford White from the Highmarket Wheelers ATV Club has added off-road trails to an initial plan rejected by lawmakers last summer and eliminated a proposed road-to-road connection from Byrons Corners Road to Highmarket Road with no off-road trail in between that was the main legal issue. Mr. White also plans to keep going back to landowners in hopes of reducing needed road mileage in future years, he said.
I think we stand a lot stronger case, Mr. King said.
While it would be nice to have resolution in the court cases, the county shouldnt be hamstrung while waiting for them, Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville, said.
I dont know whether its right or wrong, he said. I know its following the law as we see it.
Mr. Hathway added that the West Turin road openings could always be rescinded if court rulings show legal deficiencies with them.
He also mentioned that the roads being opened are not exactly heavily trafficked and that Mackay Road is a gravel thoroughfare.
Its not like youre going down (Route) 812 or something, Mr. Hathway said.
Legislator John O. Boyd, D-New Bremen, noted that county Highway Superintendent David L. Becker had given the openings his seal of approval.
Economically, its going to help our area out, Mr. White said at the start of Tuesdays meeting.
County legislators last week added 11.1 miles of off-road trails in the town of West Turin to the countys ATV system, with the county road openings intended to connect some of those.
However, the plan would still rely on more than 22 miles of town roads, which must still be opened by the West Turin Town Council, to navigate around the Highmarket area.
Mr. White thanked legislators for their support in the matter and promised to continue working to develop more off-road trails in his area.
I keep doing trails, so its not like you open these roads and Im going to stop, he said.
Gordon J. Belair Jr., a retiree from the Onondaga County Sheriffs Department who now lives in the town of Montague, expressed concern that some ATV enthusiasts tear past his Tug Hill home.
I know its a minority, but we have an awful lot of them up there, he said.
Mr. Belair said he is not against ATVs or snowmobiles but that enforcement issues should be better addressed while new roads and trails are being added.
Theres baggage with it, he said. Theres good and bad.
Past legislator and Chairman Bruce R. Krug, a noted opponent of the countys ATV trail system, submitted a letter in opposition to the new road openings, as well.

It should be allright. /var holds system logs. If you mount something else under it, your logs will just be stored in a different location.
Hello all,
I have installed Slackware 10.2 on my computer. First time I received an error installing KDE desktop in the error message was something about /var/log .... So started again the installation, but created another linux partition to be mounted as /var. Well the error still appears probably because the archive on the CD is corrupted. I can run the KDE desktop without problem but I would like to know is it ok I have create d this /var partition? Should I remove it? I do know that it is not recomanded to mount partitions under /etc, /bin ... but I haven't seen the recomandation not to mount partition under /var
Any opinion would be appreciated !
Thank you!

It should be allright. /var holds system logs. If you mount something else under it, your logs will just be stored in a different location.
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
thanks for the quick answer! Probably I will recreate the partitions ... I alocated about 1 GB of space for the /var partition ... I think is too much!
Depends on your distro, log options and usage. I've run out of space on /var with 2GB before. If you have one of those which uses APT (Debian, Ubuntu, etc), it caches the packages in /var/apt so if you install a lot of packages without cleaning up, it could take a lot of spaces. Plus, I used to run web server from default location (/var/www) and with tons of music, downloaded programs which serve in turn to my home network, it runs out of space quick. It all depends on your usage really.
To expand on compunts' reply, I always reccomend a separate /var partition and generally will advise on compression with it (its usually text which compresses greatly). This isnt necessarily ever a bottleneck for write-access, but if you run out of space, this is going to drive you nuts.
Making it separate on home machines is six to one, half dozen to another. The verboseness of samba, kernel messages, and your firewall (if utilized) are the main things that will populate this, with possibilites of any security auditing software. If these arent present, then its a taste issue. For servers, read the first paragraph again ;D
Any usefull link or advice on how to setup the compression on /var partition ? I use Slackware 10.2 and have a 1 GB /var partition! I presume there are some commands to enable the compresion on a certain partition! Unfortunatly using windows you are not certain how to enable something like compresion or encryption on a linux partition. On windows you just make a right-click and select a checkbox. I presume it is quite different on linux [I hope it is]Originally Posted by Schotty
For ext based systems (read 6.4):
Resiserfs I couldnt find any useful info on, other than some plugin that supposedly does it, and some compile time options.. got me. I dont use reiser, I stick with ext3.
Google jfs,xfs, or whatever and compression for any other fs's that you may be using.
Me too, ext2 because it is recomended when installing Slackware ...Originally Posted by Schotty
Is good to know what to search for on google ... google is good but you got to now what to search for with itOriginally Posted by Schotty
Thanks again for the answers!
PS: Yesterday got on the internet via PPPOE from my Slackware machine ... I was soo proud of myself ... sorry but this is my first time out online from a linux operating system !
Congratulations ... You SHOULD be proud of yourself. After seeing how fast Internet work without all the bloats, you'd never go back to Windows.Originally Posted by finity

Police reports may shed light on Ariz. bully case
GREEN VALLEY — Police are expected to release their reports about seven Sahuarita High School wrestlers arrested in what investigators described as a bullying and hazing incident involving another student.
The Green Valley News reports (http://bit.ly/UsOvPV) that Sahuarita police could release the reports on the kidnapping and aggravated assault arrests on Tuesday at a trial review hearing in juvenile court for one of the wrestlers.
A freshman member of the team told investigators that some teammates earlier this month held him and pulled down his pants.
The seven are charged with felony kidnapping and aggravated assault for a Jan. 15 locker room case that police characterize as horseplay gone too far.
The reports are expected to provide details that may contradict those in the only report that has been released so far.

The Hunter I-20 Ultra is your one-stop-shop for sprinkler rotors. With the ability to cover a radius range from 17 to 46 feet, you now have the choice to use only one sprinkler compared to having a variety of rotors and sprays.
Let's sum this up: 18 nozzles + 17 to 46 foot radius + 6 body choices = 1 indispensable rotor. That's the difference of the I-20 Ultra, whether you've got a small area, sandy soil, or a mix of shrubs and grass. Now we've added automatic arc return; non-reversing 360, from 50 to 360 degrees; and a non-strippable, vandal-proof drive mechanism that prevents gear stripping and saves you repair costs. Adding FloStop® control, easy through-the-top arc adjustment, and a standard drain-check valve all equate to one prime product.

Take a look at the 2013 Oberon mini-keg design
How about a January warm up?
The artwork featured on this year's 5-liter Oberon mini-keg isn't meant to depict a specific location but capture that moment when you put your paddle down and really soak in summer, said Kent Elliott, Creative Director at Black Lab Five in downtown Kalamazoo.
"It's a mental compilation of many different summer trips on rivers and lakes in northern Michigan, with quite a bit of Isle Royale thrown in. I guess it's my Q Falls," Elliott wrote in an email.
"My hope is that it will remind people of similar places they've been and spark fond memories," he said.
Does it remind you of somewhere specific? We would love to hear about it. Drop us a note or leave a comment on our Facebook or Google+ page.
Oberon will return on March 25. Look for mini-kegs to arrive a few months after then.
We'll keep everyone posted on events and other details as they become available as well.
Manden Med Leen will be the next Bell's homebrew competition winner to be tapped at the Eccentric Cafe
KALAMAZOO – The winner of Bell's Third Annual Homebrew Competition will be tapped at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Eccentric Café in downtown Kalamazoo.
Nick Rodammer's, Manden Med Leen (Danish for grim reaper), is a black IPA brewed with Belgian yeast, barley from the Bell's Farm in Shepherd, Michigan and a blend of other U.S. and European malts.
It was dry hopped three separate times with Amarillo, Galaxy and Zeus hops. These same hops were also used in the kettle along with Michigan grown Chinook hops.
The first things people should notice is a lot of hop aroma and flavor, Rodammer said.
The beer has a rich tropical fruit aroma with a subtle dark malt character and an ABV of 6.95%.
"I wanted to brew something a little outside the box for this competition," Rodammer said.
After putting together a few different ideas he settled on merging three IPA styles - Black, Rye and Belgian.
"I wanted it to be black in color but not roasty, for the rye and Belgian character to really be background notes and I wanted to make sure there was a good malt backbone to it as well," he said.
"With so much going on I didn't want to overshadow the hops, but I think it really melded together quite well."
The Grand Rapids resident has been homebrewing for about a year. His first two batches were pre-packaged kits. He went all grain after those and has designed all of his recipes since then.
"I hope this shows that you don't have to have been homebrewing for years to make good beer. Anyone who is passionate about brewing and takes the time to learn about the art and science of the craft can apply what they learn and brew beer they are proud to share with others," Rodammer said.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 17, 2010 – Economics Professor Miron Stano of Oakland University will discuss "Economics and Preventive Health Care: Is an Ounce of Prevention Really Worth a Dollar of Cure?" for the inaugural Harold Hotelling Memorial Lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 12:30 p.m. at Lawrence Technological University, 21000 West Ten Mile Road, Southfield.
The free lecture will be in S321 in the Science Building. Pizza will be served.
After describing trends in U.S. health care spending and health outcomes, Stano will provide an overview of cost-utility analysis, which provides the conceptual framework for allocating dollars to alternative treatments including preventive measures.
The current U.S. health care delivery system contains significant barriers to increased acceptance and adoption of preventive care. At the same time some preventive measures are not cost-effective. This presentation will focus on the various issues that relate to these barriers, the role of cost-utility analysis in preventive care, and recommendations for improving the efficiency of our health care system.
Stano is a professor of economics and management at Oakland School of Business Administration and former director of the school's executive MBA program in health care management. He received his PhD in economics from Cornell University. He conducts research in managed care, cost evaluation, and the professional services markets. He has written extensively on the economics of health care.
The lecture series has been established by the Harold Hotelling Memorial Lecture Fund.
Hotelling, who died in 2009, was an associate professor of economics who taught courses in business law, business ethics, constitutional law, urban social issues, and law and economics during 20 years at Lawrence Tech. He is remembered for his keen intellect, tireless devotion, quick wit, and wonderful sense of humor.
Lawrence Technological University, ltu.edu, offers more than 100 undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree programs in the Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Management. Founded in 1932, the 4,500-student, private university pioneered evening classes and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs. Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus is in Southfield, and programs are also offered in Detroit, Lansing, Petoskey and Traverse City. Lawrence Tech also offers programs with partner universities in Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Does Melo Have "The Disease of Me"?
Tommy DeeSo the Knicks head to Boston tomorrow in what everyone will be talking about as the KG/Melo rematch. The war of words and the Honey Nut Cheerio… never mind, let's stop there. In fact here's my thing: Melo needs to stop a few things in order for this Knicks team to be considered championship caliber.
With the Knicks season now 39 games old, we've learned many things. We know that they can live without Linsanity, we have discovered that they can be a very efficient and productive offensive. We learned they struggle to rebound and that they can have a hard time with Ray Felton not running the pick and roll.
We've learned that Carmelo Anthony can be dynamic and he can struggle in the heat of games. He can make game winners and fall short. We've seen him, most recently, attempt to click with Amar'e Stoudemire, which was a major question mark coming in.
So let's focus on Melo. I've read this book several times and I've often referenced it, but when talking about whether a team is championship caliber or not I refer to Pat Riley.
Why? Listen, I know what you are thinking. Pat the Rat, traitor, blah, blah, blah. The Heat rivalry, etc. I get it. But the guy is a winner and his coaching and motivation style really had an impact on me when he was here. Lebron James credited Riley for helping to change his mental approach as the heat surged to their 1st title since The Decision last summer.
I have the luxury and good fortune of conversing with incredibly intelligent people on a daily basis and my CEO and I were talking this morning about Carmelo as it related to what Riley dubbed in his book The Winner Within "The Disease of Me". What is that you ask?
"Riley argues that whether we know it or not, all of us are team players and it is through the team that we find significance. Yet the team can be undermined by the Disease of Me. In The Winner Within, he describes it as the overpowering belief in the importance of oneself. "The most difficult thing for individuals to do when they're part of the team is to sacrifice. It is so easy to become selfish in a team environment." The Disease of Me is ever present, but it can be anticipated and overcome. Riley lists the following symptoms of the disease:
- Inexperience in dealing with sudden success
- Chronic feelings of under-appreciation
- Paranoia over being cheated out of one's rightful share
- Resentment against the competence of partners
- Personal effort mustered solely to outshine a teammate
- A leadership vacuum resulting from the formation of cliques and rivalries
- Feelings of frustration even when the team performs successfully "
The Disease of Me was spawned from the concept of "Greed is Good"… to want more and to stop at nothing to achieve more success once you've achieved the ultimate level. It was an issue the Lakers faced after winning titles in Los Angeles.
Melo hasn't won a title. But is Melo a "me" player? When the Knicks lose and he shoots a lot of field goal attempts, fans will say absolutely, yes. When he beats the Nets and the Heat soundly with efficient and unselfish play, others vehemently disagree. He's just that type of player.
To me it's a fair argument either way if looking at this criteria.
- He often makes mistakes that are shocking for a veteran player even with the team enjoying a 25-14 start and sitting 2nd in the conference
- He feels under-appreciated by officials and can often come across as paranoid that he doesn't get calls
- If you think he still has any issues towards Jeremy Lin you can look at the whole Lin leaving NY process as wanting to "outshine" and harnessing "resentment"
On the other side of things I think it's fair to say that
- As far as Amar'e's return is concerned he's been a great teammate and not feeling any resentment or fear of being out-shined
- So far this season he's been a strong vocal leader and saying the right things pre and post game (for the most part)
- Has been elated and focused when teammates hit big shots or make big plays (See JR Smith, support when on the bench in terms of celebrations and huddling the team after Jason Kidd's big 3 in Brooklyn to name a few)
- And without Lin there seems to be no signs of the "vacuum resulting" in "cliques and rivalries"
It's an interesting philosophy that has been proven time and time again. Championship teams do not suffer from The Disease of Me. If Melo can ensure that he doesn't impose this negativity on the Knicks and buttons up those weaknesses mentioned above, there's no reason not to think this team can't win a title come June.
But it all starts with Melo, and tomorrow's game and platform would be a great place to start to make those changes crystal clear.

Learn how to invest safely and profitably in Mexico. Get a firsthand look at five of the most exciting new properties Puerto Vallarta has to offer. And take three days to experience this stunning port city for yourself while studying up on the hazards and rewards of calling it home.
Join us in Mexico for Discovery Weekend
Puerto Vallarta
17,18 and 19 of April!
Investing abroad is never a simple process, often devolving into an endless tangle of lawyers, financial consultants, and real estate agents. It can feel like you spend more time pushing papers than you do enjoying your investment How much simpler would it make it if there were a way to find out everything you need to know before the process starts?
What if all the resources you need were brought together in a single room?
Now what if that room led out to a bar on the beach, gourmet food, a cruise on the bay?
What if doing your homework felt like a vacation?
Stop asking what if. Come down and find out for yourself.
Food, lodging, education & entertainment are provided, all compliments of Mexico Alive. This $2,000 package is free, except for a $185 seminar registration fee. Nothing this good lasts long. Take advantage of your opportunities today.
Beautiful beaches. Twin mountain ranges plummeting into the Pacific, full of hiking and horse trails. Year-round average temperature of 84 degrees. And a brand-new luxury home equipped with all the services of a premier resort– cleaning staff, restaurants, gym, private beach access, business center, pool, spa, and more.
Sounds like the dream life only the extremely wealthy get to experience, doesn't it? Of course it does. But thanks to recent economic developments south of the border, you too can get a taste of the good life:
The amending of the Agrarian Reform Law in the mid-nineties has opened up Mexico's real estate market to foreign investment like never before, creating thousands of miles of cheap beachfront property. For the past decade this property has steadily been climbing in price. Fortunately, a handful of developers who bought in during the rush held off on cashing in immediately, preferring to draw up a sustainable strategy for long-term investment.
These developers chose to focus on quality of design giving the greatest attention to detail, and selecting only the finest amenities in order to provide a unique, refined atmosphere to every one of their properties. And because they bought in early, our developers are able to offer low, competitive pricing on the choicest of real estate.
And now thanks to the dawn of the innovative condo resort system, time-sharing has become a thing of the past– you're able to own your condo outright for use anytime you want as a second home, vacation getaway or just plain smart investment- one that maintains and helps pay for itself.
Find out more during the upcoming Discovery Weekend, sponsored by MexicoAlive. For three days, you'll get the royal treatment as we put you up in a luxury oceanside suite in tropical Puerto Vallarta, where you will feast on gourmet cuisine and get a taste of the Latin nightlife you won't soon forget. And after you recover from the fiesta, you'll get an insider's education on investing safely and lucratively in Mexico. Hear the advice of experts in all the fields you need to familiarize yourself with in order to successfully invest abroad:
- Real Estate, Finance, taxation, law and title insurance
Click here to register to learn more about investing in Mexico!
Rarely do you find such a diverse group of professionals in one location. Just one three-day "edu-vacation" could save you months of footwork and hassle, while providing you with a heads-up on regional market trends and the best advice available on the rewards and potential hazards of foreign investment. It's also your chance to become familiar with some of the most exclusive properties in Mexico, all while soaking up the good life through every pore.
These are not timeshares. You and you alone hold the deed to the property. Certain costs and revenues are shared with other owners and resort management, but the condo is yours and yours alone.
Never lift a finger. Whether enjoying the pampering of a resort within the comfort of your own home, or managing the property from abroad, all the typical work involved in owning a property has been removed. These condo resorts come fully staffed and maintained year-round by a top-notch team of hospitality professionals, so, unlike other beachfront properties, you never have to lift a finger as weather and time take their toll. Want to make a buck while you're back at home? Let the in-house property managers take care of all the tiresome hassles of renting your unit.
Pre-construction pricing still available. Get in early to save big– pre-construction pricing is available for a limited time on some of the most exclusive properties on the Pacific coast. For the lowest prices and the largest selection of units, the optimum time to purchase a condo resort unit is in early pre-construction stages. Developers have planned price increases throughout the selling process. As the saying goes, the early investor bird gets the first-tier pricing worm. Shrewd pre-construction investors have been known to turn over their properties for a 25% profit before paying even 10% on their mortgages.
All hotel and meal costs of Discovery Weekend are covered. Local transportation is also provided– all compliments of MexicoAlive. The members of the Mexico Alive team are so confident they can help you find what it is you've been looking for, they are picking up the bill on the entire weekend. It's a $2000 package for a $185 seminar fee and a plane ticket. Make the smartest decision of the rest of your life.
Upon arrival in Puerto Vallarta, you'll be chauffeured to a cocktail reception at the luxurious Marival Luxury Condo Resort and Residences. Here you'll have the chance to mingle with the other guests, all either curious souls like you or those who've already discovered the joys of owning an escape plan. From there you'll embark on a grand tour of the downtown, where the city's charms will first begin to seduce you. Afterwards, it's back to the Marival for a cocktail party on the hotel's very own private beach. In the morning, a gourmet breakfast buffet will be provided, alongside an educational overview of current real estate conditions, US business culture, and recent development activities. Once the graphs and charts are put away, you embark on a tour of the current developments-in-progress. Return to the hotel for lunch and a little downtime; in the afternoon your catamaran cruise departs the Marina Vallarta for a stunning vista view of the city and its twin mountain ranges at sunset on the Bay of Banderas.
Back at the hotel for dinner, an array of gourmet cuisine will be yours for the choosing, from local specialties including grilled marlin, ceviches, and huachinango sarandeado, to assorted traditional fare for the less gastronomically bold. Also awaiting you will be a troupe of local dancers, musicians, and performers; ready to dazzle you with their showmanship in a Broadway-style revue. And should you still have any socks left on, the fiesta afterwards will be sure to knock them off for you.
After breakfast and a (strong) cup of coffee, it's back to the conference room, where experts will take you through every aspect of the otherwise arduous process of investing on foreign soil. This is the time to pay attention and ask a lot of questions; not often will you find all the resources you need in one room. Afterwards, a discussion will be held with a rental agent on the science of property management, or the best way to make a buck on your second home when you're not in it.
At lunchtime, it's back to the beach for a catered buffet and a live mariachi performance. This is a good time to mingle and share impressions with the other guests. Questions often overheard by the waitstaff at these lunches – Is this too good to be true? Could I really be this lucky? What's the catch? But the facts, impressions, and memories of this place will already be your hands. Take some time to think. See you at dinner.
Under the stars at Casa Bella, farewell drinks and goodbye toasts as you prepare to depart from paradise. The President of Mexico Alive will give a speech, reminding you of things you already know, but confirming that your experience here really took place. Assuring you one final time that, if you so desire, you really don't have to leave. There is a place for you here.
Mexico Alive is an innovative team of highly motivated real estate and development professionals, is the proud host of several successful developments in Mexico. Familiar with all things Mexico, the dedicated MexicoAlive team investigates every aspect of a real estate project before considering it acceptable to present to clients. Knowledgeable professionals apply their business acumen to a careful inspection of the finances, background, and developer's reputation. Architects' plans are thoroughly examined and a complete assessment made of the amenities and services that will be available.

Companies agonize over what to name a product, and we certainly recognize how difficult a process it is to come up with a good name.
Over the years, we've seen lots of good ones: the Palm Pilot, the Motorola Razr, TiVo, the Flip cam, are just a few.
But today we're not here to celebrate success. No, let us to rejoice in failure and admire some of the truly bad -- and, in some cases, truly awful -- names that have come along in the last 10 years or so, including the latest additions to the list: the Asus FonePad/PadFone, Grace Digital Ecoxgear Ecoxbt, I'm Watch, Nintendo Wii U, and Qi inductive charging.

How bad are they? Well, all of us will have our own opinions about that along with how much those names may have hindered the potential success of the products (the majority have been failures). You also probably remember some really bad names that we've failed to highlight, which is why we encourage you to make your own nominations in the comments section below. If we see some good ones (or in this case, really bad ones), we'll add them to the list.

The Carbon School District approached the county commission on Aug. 6 with the request for payment in lieu of tax revenues.
But due to the county's tight 2003 budget, the commissioners did not endorse allocating more PILT money to the school district.
"Last year when I approached you about more funds, we had some left and you urged us to spend it, so we did," pointed out school superintendent David Armstrong at the commission meeting. "This year, we would like to have some money to cover more things for more kids."
Armstrong explained the money is needed because of Carbon's falling enrollment and cuts in federal funding.
"As we lose students, we lose funding from the state, which in turn affects federal funding," he said. "It's a vicious cycle."
Armstrong and interagency health representative April Durrant asked the commission to allocate the PILT money for a number of different projects related to the schools.
"A number of programs were started several years ago with PILT money and we would like to continue those," said Armstrong, referring to the PILT revenues the county receives from the federal government.
The money is paid to the local governing body because of the federal government's vast ownership of land in the county. Federal public lands are not placed on the tax rolls.
The proposal from the school district asked the county commission to approve a total allocation of $64,500 in PILT money.
The school district representatives indicated that the requested revenues would be used to fund the following:
Providing after school child care for local youngsters.
The after school child care program has been abandoned in terms of funding from federal agencies.
Covering the costs associated with planning field trips for students.
Developing a junior engineering program.
Hiring computer lab aides at Carbon High.
Providing travel money for Sterling Scholar and science fair winners.
Booking a Lewis and Clark rendezvous experience for students attending the Lighthouse program.
Subsidizing a museum dinosaur project the district is planning.
Many Carbon County residents think the school district is flush with money because of the leeway vote that passed last February, explained Armstrong. But that is not the case.
The leeway brought the school district's tax base up from one of the lowest in the state to a higher than average ranking, according to the superintendent.
There have been several cuts in federal programs with the district losing about 100 students per year. Dropping enrollment has cost the district about $215,000. And the reduction in the weighted pupil unit due to more students attending Pinnacle Canyon Academy has cost the district $537,500, according to Armstrong.
In addition, the school district also lost money to special education. In fact, the district is having to pay money back on special education funding because of various cuts, according to the superintendent.
"The leeway increase does not cover any of these losses," stated Armstrong. "That money went to keep teachers we have and to increase our salary base so we can get good teachers to come to Carbon School District. Before the increase, we had the second lowest pay scale in the state for starting teachers."
The leeway money does not cover staff development, the music and art program at the elementary schools or library books, added the superintendent.
The main emphasis of Armstrong's presentation focused on providing the after school programs.
In a recent board of education meeting, parents approached the members to voice concerns that the after school programs were ending.
Many young students live in households where both parents work. Some residents are single parents and have no way to care for children after school.
"We are asking for $25,000, just for seed money to get a program up and running again," said Durrant. "That would help pay for initial start-up costs while we were collecting the tuition from parents whose kids participate."
The program would operate like it has in the past. Elementary schools would run the program from 3 to 6 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and 1:30 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday.
"Ideally, we would like it to run through 6 p.m. on Fridays, too, because many parents can't come to get their kids by 3 p.m.," noted Durrant.
The school district donates "in kind" to the after school program by providing the facilities and giving the students snacks to pacify the youngsters until they get home for dinner, explained the superintendent.
The Carbon County commissioners sympathized with the problems faced by the school district. But the lawmakers pointed to the county's present inability to do much to help.
"Everyone seems to have financial woes now," said Commissioner Bill Krompel. "Just two years ago we had a nice surplus in our budgets, but that isn't the way it is now. Our first responsibility is to support our county departments and with the budget so tight, PILT money will be important to us. We hope the budget looks brighter down the road but right now we can make no commitments to the school district."
The discussion continued with Durrant expressing her concern about what might happen to kids that are left home alone.
"There are a lot of parents panicking right now about what they are going to do in two weeks," she said.
Some in the group wondered what it would cost parents if they had to pay the entire tuition so the program could get up and running again.
"The fact is that the parents do pay for most of the program, but we need that seed money to get it started again," stated Durrant.
Dave Maggio from East Carbon was in the audience and noted the problems that many families in his area have.
"Eighty percent of the kids in East Carbon can't buy lunch, so tuition would be out of the question," he stated. "Down scaling everywhere is the cause. If we can help in any way we need to stand up to the plate. A small group of parents can pay, but many can't."
Commission Chair Steve Burge said the county wants to be helpful, but at this point little can be done.
"Actually we just got a PILT check today," he told the assembled group. "I believe as a community we need to do something, however. Let me ask you this. What would it cost to fund this program from the start of school to December?"
The county commissioners asked Durrant and Armstrong to consider the questions and to come back with the numbers to see if something could be done.
"You know I am for helping people all we can, no matter the group," said Krompel at the end of the discussion. "I look at things like the golf course which we supplement to the tune of $100,000 per year and no one who plays there pays the full cost of them actually playing a round of golf. A subsidy is a subsidy."

Nearly a month ago on a balmy July day at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that August 21st, 2009 would forever be known as AVATAR Day™. What exactly is AVATAR Day™? Much like Haley's Comet, AVATAR Day™ only comes around once in a lifetime and is the day that the proud filmmaker will hold an advance-screening of 16 minutes from his epic in more than 100 IMAX 3-D theaters around the world. Fans got so excited that they crashed the film's official website in an effort to reserve tickets. With expectations so high and so many movie-goers eager to catch a glimpse of the alien world Pandora, 20th Century Fox would be wise to take safety precautions.Here's what we think a safety manual for surviving AVATAR should look like:

Since 1984, the fine people at the Criterion Collection have been dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in highest possible quality. But despite their valiant efforts, some important films are still missing from the collection. Luckily, some ingenious folks over at the Jinx World Forums have taken it upon themselves to create distinctive, Criterion-style box covers for those films that have been overlooked. Here are 12 of our favorites in no particular order. Our list is by no means definitive or comprehensive, so head over to Jinx World and take a look for yourselves. Transformers Posted by Cth
By now we've all seen the official pictures of Mickey Rourke dressed as Whiplash at the racetrack in Iron Man 2. You know, the one's where he looks like a Steampunk Harvey Keitel? Well, it's believed that those are images of Whiplash in his prototype Mark I suit. Fans have been abuzz about what the Russian baddie will look like in his final armor ever since. Now the upcoming Marvel comic series IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH may have revealed what Rourke's look will be when he squares off against Tony Stark and War Machine in the final act of the film. Here's the image from the book:Not bad. If this truly is the film's final armor, he's gone from looking like a He-Man villain to a Thundercats villain. Upgrade.

Just about everybody enjoys watching a goose-stepping kraut get his head blown off… Whites & blacks, Christians and Jews, liberals and conservatives; hell, even hardcore racists can find things to hate about the tenets of National Socialism (although say what you will, at least it's an ethos).So, in honor of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, we here at Screen Junkies have complied the Top Ten Nazi Killing Movies of all time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this list of films that are guaranteed to put those filthy Huns where they belong: in the ground.
You may remember that back in July we alerted you to RoboGeisha, the only film brave enough to broach the subject of stabbing people in the eyes with shrimp tempura. Noboru Iguchi's crazy Geishsploitation splatterfest is back with a second trailer and the awesome poster above. This movie just looks better and better all the time.

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN Trailer – Watch more Movie Trailers Why is it that criminals always manage to kidnap or kill the family members of trained killers? Have they not seen TAKEN? Crap, even Kevin Bacon, the "mild-mannered" executive in DEATH SENTENCE managed to get pissed enough to come back and kill off the ne'er do wells who murdered his kid. (Okay, criminals, you get a pass on that one. No one saw DEATH SENTENCE.) But now we have LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, which stars Gerard Butler as a family man whose – gasp – wife and daughter are killed by criminals, and Jamie Foxx as the prosecutor who is forced into giving the bad guys a light sentence. But here's the twist: Butler's character goes out for revenge SAW-style, and becomes the film's villain… while Foxx has to clean up the mess. I don't know about you, but I have trouble buying Butler as someone to root against, at least based on this trailer.
