Video of Gay Marriages in California
Exclusive Video: Same-Sex Couples Are "Spouses For Life"
Yesterday, more than 1,400 same-sex couples all over California tied the knot, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Along with taking some pictures of the scene in San Francisco, we filmed the newlyweds and their families talking about their love and decisions to get married. We even caught one couple exchanging vows! Watch the video to hear what impact California's decision to legalize same-sex marriage has had on families so far, in their own words. It's a very moving video!
After seeing this video, do your feelings toward marriage change? Is it possible to leave emotions aside, and support a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage? I guess we will find out in November, when California voters get a chance to adopt or reject a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

Twenty-two wheels and fourteen roses
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On April 24, 2013 @ 7:00 am In The Roadologist | No Comments
The debate on whether to allow (or permit states to allow) heavier semis on our roads is wandering around in Congress. (I would say "eighteen wheelers" but some of them would be "twenty-two wheelers" thanks to an extra axle and that just doesn't sound right.)
The arguments are out there and not hard to find. But I blogged a short while back about heavier trucks in Idaho [2], basically making the same point: I do not see anywhere near enough coverage or debate on the building, repairing and maintaining of the roads these mega-trucks would roll over.
Freight policy is something that will be heatedly discussed as we bear down on the reauthorization due next fall. We'll hear many of the arguments laid out here in support of the bigger trucks by the National Taxpayers Union [3].
My concern remains the same and it's simple: if road builders and agencies in charge of roads don't make sure that the people who write the surface transportation legislation to replace MAP-21 are well aware of and take adequate time and effort to understand and accommodate our needs when it comes to roads carrying more weight, the small print could, unintentionally but just as effectively, make life a lot harder in the road business.
I mean the people with the keyboards not the members of Congress. The state of roads might not be front and center of any wording about bigger and/or heavier trucks, but it must be there if the big trucks get to roll over our roads.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu • 150,000 miles
My wife's 1998 Malibu has an automatic trans. When it gets cold outside my wife says she has to warm it up for 20-30 min to go from park to drive. The button will not push in to move the gear shift. When it's warm outside it works fine. I even undid the safety switch where you don't have to push on the brake to start it and it worked fine but, now that it's cold again it's doing it again. I even sprayed a little white grease down where the plastic shifter rod is below the shifter handle. Is there a solution to this and how? Help please. Thanks

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I'm 32 and I really like my life. I paint, write, motorcycle, adventure, work, repeat. I'm overly confident and occasionally charming in a boyish way. I'm less of a pushover than the average guy around here, but I'm also thoughtful, principled, and try to be not too big a jerk. Also, I don't think it's too pretentious to put my favorite Walt Whitman quote here: "This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
For work I'm a technology lawyer. When I'm not doing that I'm an archaeologist. Sometimes I'm a writer, and my first novel is allegedly going to be published at some point in the near future.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Motorcycle, macbook, toothbrush, hiking boots, random adventures, science.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
People, entropy.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
I like everything from a sedate night in to a crazy night out, but I'd hate to think I'd ever fall into having typical and predictable nights of the week. I dislike having a routine. Seems limiting.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
If you are or want to be a good person, at least deep down. If you put principle first even when it's sometimes really painful to do so. If you like going outside your comfort zone and having adventures. If you don't dislike reading. If you think we could have some good conversations.

Favorite thing:
Known as The Swedish Versailles, Drottningholm Palace at Lovon
west of Stockholm worths a visit. When walking along its beautiful garden, you
should visit the Chinese Pavillion and the Guard's Tent.
Favorite thing:
Visit Drottningholm Palace (the residence of the Swedish Royal Family), and while you are there make sure you take a guided tour of the Palace Theatre...it is the definate highlight! We had a special tour since we were the only ones there that day and it was fabulous! It's amazing to know the stories behind these old places...
I really loved this palace, it was one of my favourites in all of the European cities we visited. It was a little way out of Stockholm but worth the trip.
At the time it costed 50 KR for adults but with the Stockholm card it is free...
Phone: 08 4026280
Favorite thing: Visit Drottningholm Castle - the residence of King Carl XVI Gustaf. Fabulous park and castle! Go there on a sunny summer day by steamboat from central Stockholm. If you're lucky, you might just catch a glimpse of the royal family ...
Favorite thing:
Drottning street is the main shopping street in Stockholm.. It is a pedestranized street with many shops located each side.. A nice place to walk around in the old city..

Blockbuster, Ag Energy, Duratek, Lehman: Bankruptcy
Blockbuster Inc. Chief Executive Officer James Keyes said he will evaluate "every single store" in the video-rental chain as it reorganizes to compete with competitors that provide movies online and by mail.
The 25-year-old company filed for bankruptcy Sept. 23 in New York after losing sales to Netflix Inc.'s Web and mail-order movie service and Coinstar Inc.'s Redbox DVD rental kiosks. Revenue dropped 20 percent to $4.06 billion last year, when Dallas-based Blockbuster reported a $558.2 million net loss.
As of Aug. 29, Blockbuster had about 5,600 stores worldwide, including 3,300 in the U.S., according to court papers. Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Morgan Securities in Los Angeles, said the company may have to cut U.S. locations to about 2,000 to increase annual sales per store to at least $1 million. In 2002, that figure stood at $1.1 million, he said. The company will also face pressure to cut stores from "a new class of shareholder wanting to see cash increasing in a hurry," he said.
In the past two years, Blockbuster has closed 1,061 U.S. company-operated stores, according to a court document. All its U.S. operations, including stores, DVD vending kiosks, mail and digital, will continue to operate normally, the company said.
The company is likely to close more than 500 stores and will seek ways to reduce lease costs on hundreds of others, a person with knowledge of the plans said. The actual number of stores is still being worked out, said the person, who declined to be identified because the deliberations are private and subject to court approval.
Patty Sullivan, a spokeswoman for Blockbuster, didn't immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment after normal business hours. The Wall Street Journal reported the store closings earlier.
Movie Gallery Inc., which once had as many as 4,800 locations, filed for bankruptcy in 2007 and closed more than 1,700 stores. After reorganizing, the chain closed another 715, before filing a second bankruptcy in February and liquidating.
In 2009, Blockbuster reached a deal with NCR Corp. for DVD vending kiosks, under which NCR pays royalties to Blockbuster. Blockbuster said in a court filing that the agreement lets it compete with Redbox without the startup costs. As of Sept. 19, there were about 6,600 Blockbuster kiosks throughout the U.S. That business will continue to operate, NCR said Sept. 23 in a statement.
Blockbuster has a marketing partnership with Comcast Corp., the biggest U.S. cable-television provider, in which subscribers are offered Blockbuster's by-mail services through a website.
The company also negotiated agreements with consumer-electronics makers, including Samsung Electronics Co. and Toshiba Corp. to deliver movies to customers with Internet- connected TVs and Blu-ray players through a partnership with Sonic Solutions. Blockbuster also has an accord with Motorola Inc. to embed its digital applications in mobile phones.
Under the proposed reorganization plan, there will be no recovery by the holders of the company's outstanding subordinated debt, preferred stock or common stock, Blockbuster said in a statement. Senior bondholders will swap their debt for equity in the reorganized company.
In court papers, the company listed assets of $1.02 billion against debt of $1.46 billion.
The case is In re Blockbuster, 10-14997, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
New Filings
Ag Energy Resources Files Chapter 11 in Illinois
Ag Energy Resources Inc., a biofuel processing facility, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code Sept. 23 in Benton, Illinois. The debtor listed assets of $10 million to $50 million and liabilities of $1 million to $10 million, according to court papers.
Ag Energy Resources declared Foxboro/Invensys Systems, with a claim of $90,395, and the Internal Revenue Service, with a claim $95,520, among the largest of the 20 largest unsecured creditors, according to a court filing. Ag Energy Resources has real property valued at $4.9 million, and personal property valued at $9.2 million, the debtor said in court papers. The debtor has secured claims totaling $8.5 million, it said in a filing.
The case is In re Ag Energy Resources, Inc., 10-41440, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Illinois (Benton).
Duratek Precast Technologies Files Chapter 11 in Florida
Duratek Precast Technologies Inc., formerly known as Duratek Wall Corp., filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in Tampa, Florida.
The debtor, maker of precast concrete wall systems and other structures, declared assets and liabilities each in the ranges of $10 million to $50 million, according to court files.
An affiliate, Duratek Precast Structures LLC, also has a pending bankruptcy case. Duratek Precast Technologies has made an "emergency motion" asking the court for joint administration of the two bankruptcy cases, court files showed. Duratek Precast Technologies is the managing member and owns 100 percent of Duratek Precast Structures, the debtor said in court papers in support of its motion.
Joint administration would expedite the cases and "avoid unnecessary and expensive duplication" to the parties and the court," it argued. It asked for the relief as part of its first day filings, without a hearing.
The case is Duratek Precast Technologies Inc.,10-22876, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida (Tampa).
C.M.B. III Files Bankruptcy Protection in Arizona
C.M.B. III LLC filed for protection from creditors in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix, listing its assets and liabilities from $10 million and $50 million, according to court files.
The debtor, represented by Richard M. Lorenzen of Perkins Coie Brown & Bain PA in Phoenix, estimated that there will be funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors, a court filing showed. C.M.B. III has fewer than 50 creditors, it said in its bankruptcy petition.
C.M.B. III's largest unsecured creditor is Maricopa County, to which the debtor owes $395,000 for unpaid taxes, court papers revealed.
The case is In re C.M.B. III, LLC, 10-30496, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Arizona (Phoenix).
BNA Subsidiaries Files Chapter 11 in New Hampshire
BNA Subsidiaries LLC, a publisher of materials for government professionals, filed for protection from creditors in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Peterborough, New Hampshire-based company declared assets against liabilities in the range of $1 million to $10 million, according to court papers.
BNA Subsidiaries has been known by other names including Kennedy Consulting Research, Washington G-2 Report, and IOMA, according the filing. The Bureau of National Affairs, with a claim of $2 million, is the largest of the unsecured creditors and owns all of the equity, according to court files.
BNA Subsidiaries requested court approval for $1.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing. A hearing was set for Sept. 29 on the financing motion as well as other first-day relief, including permission to pay wages and benefits.
The case is In re BNA Subsidiaries, LLC, 10-13087, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Innkeepers Has $47.5 Million for Preferred Holders
Innkeepers USA Trust has four hotels that are valuable enough to pay creditors and still leave $47.5 million for preferred-share holders who would otherwise get nothing from the bankrupt hotel owner, according to a court filing.
The preferred holders published a valuation of four out of 72 Innkeepers hotels to try to persuade a judge they should be allowed to have a committee fighting for their interests in court, according to the Sept. 23 filing. Most of Innkeepers' hotels secure debt serviced by Midland Loan Services Inc., or are pledged to a unit of defunct Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
The four hotels are located in San Antonio, Washington, Tyson's Corner, Virginia, and San Diego.
Innkeepers, whose parent is managed by an affiliate of Leon Black's private-equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC, filed for bankruptcy protection on July 19.
The case is In re Innkeepers USA Trust, 10-13800, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Lehman Art Sale Raises $12 Million for Creditors at Sotheby's
A sale of art from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. on Sept. 24 raised $12.3 million for creditors.
The priciest lot at the Lehman and Neuberger Berman art liquidation sale at Sotheby's in New York was a swirling 2001 canvas by Julie Mehretu, "Untitled 1," that sold for $1 million to an unidentified telephone bidder, topping the $800,000 high estimate. Bidders snubbed a 1993 Damien Hirst cabinet, tagged to fetch as much as $1.2 million.
The sale garnered "curiosity" from the "global financial community," Tobias Meyer, Sotheby's worldwide head of contemporary art, said in an interview. The sale total exceeded the $8.8 million to $12 million presale estimate. Out of 142 lots on offer, 118, or 83 percent, found buyers.
New York-based Lehman was the world's fourth-largest investment bank on Sept. 15, 2008, when it filed the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history. It had assets of $639 billion. More than $830 billion in claims have been filed against Lehman, which has said many are duplicates.
More Lehman art will be sold at Christie's International in London on Sept. 29 and at Freeman's in Philadelphia on Nov. 7.
SIPC Tells Congress Madoff Victim Claims Exceed Agency's Funds
The Securities Investor Protection Corp. said in a letter to a congressional subcommittee that claims by victims of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme far exceed the funds available to the agency to reimburse them.
As of Aug. 1, the SIPC had a total fund of $1.2 billion and access to as much as an additional $2.5 billion in loans from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, SIPC President Stephen Harbeck said in a Sept. 7 letter to the House Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government Sponsored Enterprises.
The liquidation of New York-based Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC is the biggest such case undertaken by SIPC, according to court records.
Claims by Madoff victims total $57.2 billion based on false account statements issued by Madoff's firm in November 2008, the month before his arrest, according to the SIPC letter. Victims lost $17.3 billion when calculated as the difference between money invested and money withdrawn from Madoff's firm.
The SIPC, which is required to pay victims a maximum of $500,000 for most claims, has allocated $888 million to pay claims based on lost principal. If forced to pay based on the account statements, the SIPC would have to pay an additional $1.1 billion, it said in the letter, produced in connection with the subcommittee hearing on Sept. 23.
Madoff victims have tried, unsuccessfully so far, to force the SIPC to pay based on their fictitious account balances. The SIPC, supported by trustee Picard and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton Lifland in Manhattan, has said it's required only to pay based on cash invested minus withdrawals.
On Sept. 24, the Litwin Foundation, a Madoff investor, sued the SEC for "negligence" in failing to uncover the Ponzi scheme. John Heine, a spokesman for the SEC, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Madoff, 72, is serving a 150-year prison term after pleading guilty last year to masterminding the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
The bankruptcy case is: Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, 08-01789, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The Litwin case is The Litwin Foundation v. United States of America, 10-CV-7367, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Bank Closures
Banks in Florida, Washington Shut; 2010 Failures Climb to 127
Regulators shut lenders in Florida and Washington amid losses on real-estate loans, pushing the number of U.S. bank failures to 127 for the year.
Haven Trust Bank Florida of Ponte Vedra Beach and Arlington, Washington-based North County Bank were closed, according to statements on the website of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which was named receiver. The failures cost the agency's deposit-insurance fund $104.7 million.
Whidbey Island Bank, based in Coupeville, Washington, paid a 2 percent premium to acquire $276.1 million in deposits and four branches from North County, the FDIC said.
First Southern Bank of Boca Raton, Florida, took over Haven Trust's two branches and shared losses on $127.3 million in assets with the FDIC, the agency said.
Banks are failing at a faster pace than last year, which saw the most failures since 1992. Regulators closed 140 banks last year.
Commercial Debt
Terex to Amend Credit Agreement to Gain Flexibility
Terex Corp., the world's third-biggest maker of construction equipment, said it is seeking to amend its bank credit facility. The revisions would allow Terex to prepay 100 percent of the outstanding principal amount of its term loans under a credit facility of about $270 million.
In addition, the amendment would give Terex the flexibility to redeem or repurchase debt, as well as to make acquisitions, the Westport, Connecticut-based company said Sept. 24 in a statement.
Re-Default Rate on Home Loan Modifications Drops, U.S. Says
The number of delinquent borrowers who re-defaulted after home loan modifications declined as lenders offered more generous payment reductions, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. Six months after receiving a modification, 32 percent of borrowers were at least 60 days delinquent through the period ending June 30, down from 45 percent a year earlier, the Treasury Department's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Office of Thrift Supervision reported Sept. 24. The number of seriously delinquent mortgages declined 5.7 percent as of June 30 to 2.08 million from 2.39 million three months earlier, the report said.
ATI Acquisition Ratings Placed on Negative Credit Watch by S&P
ATI Acquisition Co., the post-secondary education company, had its corporate credit rating of B and all related issue-level credit ratings on the company's debt placed on credit watch "with negative implications" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, according to a Sept. 24 statement by the ratings company.
Arlington, Texas-based ATI Acquisition had total debt of $234 million as of June 30, S&P said in the statement.
The placement of the ratings on credit watch "reflects the potential impact of increased federal government regulation, which would negatively affect ATI's operating performance, debt leverage, and liquidity," Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond said in the statement.
The U.S. Education Department has proposed a requirement that post-secondary programs demonstrate federal student loan principal repayment rates at certain thresholds in order for students to remain eligible for federal loans under Title IV funding, according to S&P's statement. Certain of ATI's schools "had repayment rates that fell below the threshold for retaining Title IV funding eligibility, based on the current measure of repayment rates and relevant thresholds proposed" by the Education Department, according to the statement.
The Education Department plans to complete the new regulations by Nov. 1, with initial implementation beginning July 1, according to S&P's statement.

|Implementation of image processing approach to translation of ASL finger-spelling to digital text
|Mandloi, Divya
|This thesis describes the ongoing development of an image processing technique for the translation of American Sign Language (ASL) finger-spelling to text. The present analysis is the phase one of a broader project, the Sign2 Project, which is focused on a complete technological approach to the translation of ASL to digital audio and/or text. The methodology adopted in this analysis employs a gray-scale image processing technique to convert the American Sign Language finger-spelling to text. It attempts to process static images of the subject considered, and then matches them to a statistical database of pre-processed images to ultimately recognize the specific set of signed letters. This phase of the Sign2 Project considers the hand of the subject alone and not the entire subject, as its scope is restricted to recognizing the finger spelling and not the American Sign Language as a whole. Since the approach taken in this analysis is vision-based, the amount of processing is minimized as compared to other approaches and hence projects itself as a viable technique to be implemented in real time systems. Devices like kiosks and PDAs can incorporate this technology to enable communication between the hearing and non-hearing individuals who are geographically placed apart with the least possible run times which is mandatory for real-time systems. In this investigation, I intend to describe the approach to the phase one problem and demonstrate the results thus derived, where several words are distinguished and recognized with a fairly high degree of reliability.

Rite Aid Acquires Health Dialog Services Corporation Acquisition Advances Rite Aid Retail Health and Wellness Strategy
Health Dialog to Play Key Role in Advancing Rite Aid Health Alliance Program
Provides Support for Health Dialog to Pursue New Opportunities to Grow its Portfolio of Clients and Services
CAMP HILL, Pa. (April 1, 2014) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) announced today it has acquired Boston-based Health Dialog Services Corporation, a leading provider of health coaching, shared decision making and healthcare analytics from Bupa, a London-based international healthcare services group. Through the acquisition, Health Dialog will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Rite Aid. Details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Rite Aid's acquisition of Health Dialog will also support and advance Rite Aid Health Alliance, a pioneering health management collaboration among various healthcare providers who deliver comprehensive care and support to individuals with chronic and poly-chronic health conditions. Health Dialog has been working closely with Rite Aid over the past year as the program has been developed, and currently provides care coaches for Rite Aid Health Alliance.
"We are extremely pleased to have Health Dialog become a part of the Rite Aid family and believe this strategic acquisition will be mutually beneficial to both companies," said Rite Aid's Chairman and CEO John Standley.
"This acquisition will provide Health Dialog with an expanded footprint to grow its existing business as well as further leverage the company's coaching services' expertise as we work to bring Rite Aid Health Alliance to more Rite Aid markets and customers. Additionally, we will benefit from Health Dialog's industry-leading analytics and shared-decision making tools, helping us to better serve the health and wellness needs of our customers and further develop our pharmacy services as a growing retail health care company."
Through Rite Aid Health Alliance, a first-of-its-kind program in the drugstore industry, patients with chronic and poly-chronic conditions, like congestive heart failure, COPD, high cholesterol and diabetes, are recommended to the program by their primary care physician. Rite Aid pharmacists and specially trained care coaches, located in Rite Aid pharmacies, work with the physician and patient on an on-going basis to improve the patient's overall health and self-management abilities. The care team members collaborate with the patient to establish health goals, eliminate barriers and create a personalized health care action plan in coordination with the patient's physician.
Rite Aid Health Alliance is currently offered to patients recommended by their physicians to participate in the pilot program at select Rite Aid pharmacies in Buffalo, N.Y., Greensboro, N.C., and the greater Los Angeles area.
"Rite Aid shares our vision of empowering people and delivering health-supporting behavior change programs, with the goal of improving the well-being of the individuals and communities we serve," said Health Dialog Services Corporation's CEO Robert Mandel. "We look forward to this new relationship and to an exciting future for Health Dialog as we work with Rite Aid to expand Rite Aid Health Alliance and pursue new opportunities to grow Health Dialog's portfolio of clients and services."
Health Dialog Services Corporation is a leading provider of healthcare analytics and decision support. Health Dialog helps health plans, employers and physician groups improve healthcare quality while reducing overall costs. Company offerings include health coaching for medical decisions, chronic conditions, and wellness; population analytic solutions; and consulting services. Health Dialog helps individuals participate in their own healthcare decisions, develop more effective relationships with their physicians, and live longer, healthier, happier lives.

Both the Visual Studio ALM Rangers Lab Management Guidance (codename African Hawk Eagle) and Rangers Build Customization Guide (codename African Tawny Eagle) have been submitted for review and are entering the final countdown phase.
This Visual Studio ALM Ranger project has the primary goal of delivering scenario based and hands-on guidance for the planning, setup, configuration and usage of Visual Studio Lab Management, backed by custom VM Template automation for reference environments.
Monitor the Visual Studio ALM Rangers blog, using tag tfslm, for the latest information on this project.
Trivial information … the current guidance includes hands-on labs (HOLs) which amount to a total of 1150 minutes or 18.58 hours of exploration time.
This Visual Studio ALM Ranger project has the primary goal of delivering scenario based and hands-on lab guidance for the customization and deployment of TFS Team Build activities such as versioning, code signing, and branching.
Monitor the Visual Studio ALM Rangers blog, using tag vsbcg, for the latest information on this project.
The teams of both projects are phenomenal, because not only did they deliver both solutions under the normal challenging Rangers environment (virtual teams, multiple time zones, different cultures, part-time-volunteer resources, …), but they supported the dog fooding of Ruck often to the detriment of their primary commitments in the projects and enduring associated process tweaking, analysis and questioning by Brian and I.
I would like to personally thank all of the Visual Studio ALM Rangers who have thrown their passion, knowledge, personal time and all the other ingredients that will make both these solutions "block busters". Both projects were started with very special codenames and seeing the phenomenal solutions emerge makes me extremely proud of this amazing Rangers "family".
Rangers you are all truly special!
Nice work!!!. Looking forward to it. When do you expect the projects to be ready for download.
Writing exact dates would be like opening Pendoras box and not being able to close the lid again :) What I can say is that the Rangers Architecture Tooling Guidance v2 is imminent (hours), while the others are down to weeks ... we are in the final review phase.

Ok, let me do a simple and honest review about this service.
I can see my traffics shot up in the past 2 days, however it was about extra 1500 in 2 days and i did not see 2000 traffics plus the bonus of 2000.
According to my Google Analytics, most traffics were came from one social bookmarking. When analyzed the AdSense CTR, the figure was 0 as compare to my normal SE traffics in these 2 days, the CTR was 0.74%. When analyzed the average time on site, these traffics were 0:28min as compare to normal SE traffics 1:31min.
In conclusion, this service was not delivered as promised and the traffic has no value to me. However for those who want to generate traffics for your site to look good, this might be a good choice.
Thank you.

It's been over 48 hours now and I cant seem to find the traffic promised. hotclix.com is showing 118 visits.
WebCure.in, can you tell me where the traffic should be coming from so I can track it down and do a proper review?
After not hearing from them for a week and not receiving what I paid for, I am glad I only paid $3.
Avoid this service at all costs.

Matyszyk, thank you for the comments.
The barn is actually abandoned. It is currently part of the National Park Service and Grand Teton National Park. The barn is not used for animals or storage of any kind and has had no maintenance work ever since it became a part of the NPS. It is, however, an incredible photo location, probably making it the most photographed barn in the world.
In July 2013, the Jackson Hole community and NPS celebrated 100 years side "the barn" was built. The descendants of the original owner, Thomas Alva Moulton, were present for the celebrations. In order to maintain the barn (which has been really falling apart over the last few years), donations were accepted, but, at least as of know, no maintenance work has been done yet.
I've been visiting the area for 11 years and plan to return for many more. This picture was taken by my 12 years old daughter next to me in 2012. She was using my old D70.
More info can be found by google-ing "the Moulton Barn".

Former SABC man diesComment on this story
Johannesburg - Former SABC newscaster Christopher Dingle, 66, has died at home in Orange Grove, Johannesburg.
A close friend of his, Robert Blair, said it appeared that he died of an asthma attack on Tuesday.
The Zambian-born Dingle was a well-known broadcaster in the early years of South African television and presented a programme on Radio Today and for Radio South Africa.
He earned the unusual distinction of being the first presenter to say "f**k" on South African television. He was under the impression he was off-air at the time.
Since retiring from broadcasting in the early 1990s, he had worked as a website manager. - Sapa

Former Placer High wrestler Lewis to coach at the Olympics
Shon Lewis, a graduate of Placer County High School, will head to the Olympics later this month not as an athlete, but as a leader.
Lewis, 45, currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colo., but during the end of his high school wrestling career, he was just starting to blossom into a talented athlete who would one day be ranked coach of the year four times.
Now he will travel to London on the coaching staff of the Greco-Roman Olympic wrestling team.
Bill Flake, who is retired now, coached Lewis during his junior and senior years at Placer. He says it wasn't until later, after Lewis turned to Greco-Roman wrestling.
"He's as quick as a cat, you know? He was young, so we worked on him and he had a decent junior year and a very good senior year," Flake said.
After he graduated from Placer County High, Lewis attended the University of Oregon before he joined the Army. There he would go on to win six Armed Forces Greco-Roman titles and compete in the World Military Championships.
He was also the US Nationals Greco-Roman champion four times and was a medalist in three US Olympic Team Trials.
Now, in addition to heading to London with the Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling team, Lewis is the head coach for the Army Greco-Roman team.
Of the six weight classes the US team qualified for this year, three of the wrestlers are from Lewis' Army team. They are Spenser Mango, who is in the 121-pound class; Justin Lester, who is in the 145-pound class; and Dremiel Byers, who is in the 264-pound class.
"I'm real familiar with everyone on the team," Lewis said. "We feel real comfortable with each other."
Lewis was also an Olympic coach for the Greco-Roman wrestling team in 2004 in Athens, Greece. He said the preparation is tough, but the competition itself can be brutal.
"I'm feeling good, but we've got to lace them up for the toughest tournament in the world," Lewis said. "A lot of people are willing to die for a medal. We've got to hope our guys are ready to compete that day."
Lewis' experience goes beyond his time in the Army as a coach and athlete. He has also coached US World Teams, squads that have gone to the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, and has been named Greco-Roman coach of the year by USA Wrestling four times.
In 2010, Lewis was inducted in the California Wrestling Hall of Fame.
That's the last time he saw his previous coach, Flake, who is also a member of the hall of fame. Lewis said he would like to make it back to visit Auburn sometime, but that will have to wait.
He's got a few weeks of training with his team until they leave for London on July 22. The Greco-Roman wrestling competition starts at 1 p.m. on Aug. 5.
"I haven't been back to Placer County in several years, but I'm looking forward to getting back there and reuniting with some of the guys and gals I went to school with," Lewis said.

Is 'all of the above' an adequate answer. I generally prefer the older gen but the newer series weren't half bad.
I have seen every one of the original series
late 50s early 60s
twillight zone
Not sure what this one was from, but there was an episode about a guy who was sort of a criminal who was all about drugs and gambling, he was just an awful person in general. He ends up dying and he wakes up in a place where he gets everything he wants, and he has access to all the drugs and women and money he wants, and he can never lose when he gambles. He eventually gets tired of always winning because he misses the thrill and he starts to hate it. He told his angel/ butler that he wants to go to "the other place" (hell), but his butler laughs, and in the most insane, demonic voice declares "This IS the other place!" And the guy starts screaming in horror and trying to get out while the butler laughs manically and it was awesome.
I don't remember what it was called, but it was one of the best episodes in my opinion, like top 5, at least.

Respond to Review of The Prince George
by lh1986
Review: I am surprised to see some poor reviews for this place as we had exceptional service and food. Both our meals; falafal board and italian bean burger were super tasty and of a good portion size. Best of all however was the vegan ice cream sundae, this was probably one of the best vegan desserts I have had outside of London. The staff were all pleasant and the pub had a nice relaxed atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable also. I hope we will enjoy it just as much on our return trip later this summer.

Man City, having picked up Nery Castillo in the January transfer window, is now rumored to be preparing a bid to pry Giovanni dos Santos (Johnny Two Saints) from Barcelona. Look at that little baby face. Ricky Hatton would love to have that around. You know, to make him look more like an actual fighter.
The question is, is this a new trend or a continuation of an old one? In the 1979 FA Cup final, Arsenal took on Manchester United. Unlike just five years prior, when the game was only contested by Englishmen, this game featured a mix from around the Isles. Arsenal started 3 Irishmen as well as 3 Northern Irish. Manchester United started five Scots and only three Englishmen. It would seem that the teams were buying groups of players that they felt would compete well together because of shared background.
I say that this is the rough equivalent of what some teams are doing today. You can definitely see it when looking at Fulham under Lawrie Sanchez and Roy Hodgson. Besides the five Americans, Sanchez also brought in a couple of Northern Irish players. Of course, when you look at the results for Fulham this season, perhaps Sven-Goran should get the hint and let Johnny Two Saints land somewhere else.

I've recently gotten back into sewing and realized that a walking foot for my machine would make certain types of projects much easier / more pleasant to sew.
The catch is that my machine, a 1984 Kenmore Model 158.1784282, has neither a high-shank or a low-shank.
The foot configuration looks like this:
Image of the foot configuration from the manual
Does anyone have any advice on where to go to find this sort of thing online? I've tried Ebay but only found one and it was VERY pricy. I've also struck out and a handful of local shops here in Toronto that cater to older machines.
I have looked around the internet too for you and can't find it. That is a very strange foot. I have a 1980 Kenmore with a super high shank and the walking foot is about $50.00 if i can find it. I made the error of not buying the walking foot and the ruffler for my old Kenmore but bought everything else in 1980. Now I wish I had bought the walking foot. You might have to bite the bullet and buy the one you found. Hopefully, someone else will know where you can find it.
Thank you! I inherited my machine about 15 years ago from my Mom (who bought it new in 1984) and it came with lots of mysterious accessories (like automagic keyhole buttonholemakers) that I'll probably never use, but no manual and of course, no walking foot.
If the buttonholer is similar to mine (3 pieces similar to the Griest or old Singer) that you have to attache it makes the best buttonholes ever. I used the keyhole alot back in the day when I was making coats. I am wanting to make a coat this winter; if I do, the old Kenmore will get the honor of making it. Yea, I bought tons of feet for it and didn't use very many of them.
I found the manual just now at Sears Parts Direct and it has the #number of the walking foot that would fit in the accessory list - try Sears parts direct online. It looks like you have a presser foot holder there with the real crook in it, but there are full size extra high feet that fit this thing - it has an extra high shank - the manual lists the feet and the screw on feet are extra high, whereas that oddly crooked piece is your snap-on foot adapter. It takes snap ons as well. I haven't seen this array in person myself, but the manual seems to indicate that.
I looked up the manual as 158.1784 because older machines are usually known by the four numbers following the prefix. There are several versions of the manual, so yours may be a bit different.

I have sewing machines
It is the flat part of the foot that you are seeking, or is it also the shank? I don't understand what purpose the bent shank has, but you can buy a snap on foot like the photo anywhere. It's a multi-purpose foot. You can get shank adapters too; to make the foot either higher or lower.
If you really need this foot, send an email to Gil at Sewing Emporium-- [email protected]

Burton Feelgood V-Rocker and Lipstick

Burton Feelgood V-Rocker and Lipstick
So Burton came out over the weekend for a demo so I figured I would take a couple of their boards out for a spin. I took out the Feelgood V-Rocker and Lipstick both in the 151/152 sizing.
My stats are
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 120
Boot size: Salomon Optima 6
Bindings: Burton Lexa
Style: Aggressive freerider
Crusty with icy patches in between
For the Feelgood V-Rocker:
I'm really disappointed in the Feelgood. The board felt dead and blah. For an aggressive freeride board, I'm surprised that it didn't hold an edge worth a dickens. I typically have no problems holding a line on my Capita Space Metal Fantasy even through the cruddy/crusty crap our hill typically has. The board itself was responsive, but it seemed to be lacking the fun factor to it. It didn't make me want to spend my money, so to speak.
Lip-stick 152:
Again, not a bad board. It was a little funner, but not by alot. It held a line a little better and had a more lively feel to it, but again, it just didn't feel like it was all there.
As for the Lexa: They're pretty nifty bindings, very comfortable. They're perfect for the weekend warrior or for someone who already knows what they want to do, and how they want to do it.
So far, that's it for now. The Burton guys are heading out to the mountains soon, so hopefully I will be able to catch up with them and have a slightly more comprehensive review in the future.

jaundice please read
Google it and it'll help you feel better, its not really one of those things that freak you out even more. Idle about the other things I hope your LO gets better though. I'll be praying for you and your family!
I can't imagine how stressful it would be to be seperated from your LO. Visit him as much as you can, but more importantly SLEEP. Take some benadryl if you can't fall asleep naturaly, but ur LO needs you at your best when he gets home :)
My son was born two years ago at exactly 37 weeks by emergency rcs. He was ok after birth but right before we were discharged I noticed an orange tint to him and insisted that they draw another bili level.
They called with results before we even got home and had him re-admitted to the pediatric unit. His bili levels were off the charts. He stayed under the lights for 3 days with little improvement. They were ready to do a whole blood exchange on him. They were doing all kinds of blood work on me and my husband and the pediatrician was hinting that maybe my husband wasn't the father, blah, blah, blah.
Thankfully his levels finally started to drop. He spent a week under the lights with me only able to hold him during feedings. I felt like I was dying. I wasn't recovered from my c-section and I had terrible PPD. It was awful. But thankfully modern medicine is at a point where there are lots of treatments that will cure the jaundice.
Likely within a week your son will be just fine. Oh, but it took almost a month for all of the orange to leave my son's skin. He is extremely fair. I have pics.... poor little guy looked just like an oompaloompa.
Good luck and hang in there, mama.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

It is stressful, but very common. One of the risks is untreated it makes them lazy and they don't want to eat - which is probably why they tubed him. As hard as it is, try and focus on knowing they are doing everything possible to speed up his recovery and prevent him from losing too much weight.
Friend told me that almost all babies born at high altitudes (like here in CO) have jaundice for a week or so.
Also, my little brother was born 2mos early and jaundiced - hes now a 6ft+ obnoxious 18 year old.
If m.d. doesn't give you any other reasons to worry, I would try to relax about it.
Best wishes!

1I am the man who has seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
2He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not light.
3Indeed, He has turned back, He has turned His hand against me all the day.
4He has worn out my flesh and my skin, He has broken my bones.
5He has piled up against me, And surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6He has made me dwell in dark places Like the dead of old.
7He has hedged me in and I do not go out, He has made my chain heavy.
8Also, when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.
9He has blocked my ways with hewn stone, He has made my paths crooked.
10He is to me like a bear lying in wait, A lion in hiding.
11He has turned aside my ways And torn me in pieces, He has laid me waste.
12He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.
13He made the arrows of His quiver pierce my kidneys.
14I have been a mockery to all my people, Their mocking song all the day.
15He has filled me with bitterness, He drenched me with wormwood.
16And He has broken my teeth with gravel, He has covered me with ashes.
17And You have removed my being far from peace, I have forgotten goodness.
18And I said, "My strength and my expectancy Have perished from יהוה."
19Remember my affliction and my anguish, The wormwood and the gall.
20Your being indeed remembers And bows down upon me.
21This I recall to my mind, therefore I wait:
22The kindnesses of יהוה! For we have not been consumed, For His compassions have not ended.
23They are new every morning, Great is Your trustworthiness.
24"יהוה is my Portion," says my being, "Therefore I wait for Him!"
25יהוה is good to those waiting for Him, To the being who seeks Him.
26It is good – both to wait and to be silent, For the deliverance of יהוה.
27It is good for a man to bear a yoke in his youth.
28Let him sit alone and be silent, Because He has laid it on him.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, There might yet be expectancy.
30Let him give his cheek To the one who smites him – He is filled with reproach.
31For יהוה does not cast off forever.
32For though He afflicted, Yet He shall show compassion According to the greatness of His kindnesses.
33For He has not afflicted from His heart, Nor does He grieve the children of men.
34To crush under His feet All the prisoners of the earth,
35To turn aside the right-ruling of man Before the face of the Most High,
36Or wrong a man in his cause – This יהוה does not approve.
37Who was it that spoke, And it came to be! Has יהוה not commanded it?
38Do not the evils and the good Come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39What? Should mankind complain, A living man, because of his sins?
40Let us search and examine our ways, And turn back to יהוה.
41Let us lift our hearts and hands To Ěl in the heavens and say:
42We, we have transgressed and rebelled. You, You have not forgiven.
43You have wrapped Yourself With displeasure and pursued us. You have slain, You have not shown compassion.
44You have wrapped Yourself With a cloud, so that prayer does not pass through.
45You make us as scum and refuse In the midst of the peoples.
46All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
47Fear and a snare have come upon us, Shame and ruin.
48Streams of water run down my eye For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
49My eye flows out and does not cease, Without stopping,
50Until יהוה looks down and sees from the heavens.
51My eye pains my being Because of all the daughters of my city.
52My enemies hunted me down Like a bird, without cause.
53They have cut off my life in the pit, And they threw stones at me.
54Waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!"
55I called on Your Name, O יהוה, from the lowest pit.
56You have heard my voice, Do not hide Your ear from my groaning, From my outcry!
57You drew near on the day I called on You; You said, "Do not fear!"
58O יהוה, You did plead the case for my being; You have redeemed my life.
59O יהוה, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case.
60You have seen all their vengeance, All their plans against me.
61You have heard their reproach, O יהוה, all their plans against me,
62The lips of those rising against me, And their scheming against me all the day.
63Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their song.
64Repay them, O יהוה, According to the work of their hands.
65Give them a veiled heart, Your curse upon them!
66Pursue and destroy them in displeasure, From under the heavens of יהוה.

just to forwarn you, you probably have only a few minutes before the wannabe thread police come and tell you something along the lines of taking votes is against the COC or user agreement.
But yes I probably will buy the next one..
Re: so will you?infamy96797 Nov 30, 2012 6:38 PM (in response to killerturnerstoner)
it depends if respawns releses a better game
Re: so will you?nicedrewishfela Nov 30, 2012 6:45 PM (in response to killerturnerstoner)
I always get a lot of play time out of CoD games, so most likely. In spite of the issues every year I always end up having a great time. Yes, even began enjoying myself towards the end of MW3's life cycle.
Re: so will you?Run_N_Gunning_Camper Nov 30, 2012 6:46 PM (in response to killerturnerstoner)
Yes I will. $60 for something that may bring you hours and hours of enjoyment is nothing. Besides, if it does suck then I will have BF4 beta to fall back on. I bought MoH: WF so I can beta test BF4 on PC.
I will pre-order the Hardened edition next year.
Re: so will you?gallp13 Nov 30, 2012 6:58 PM (in response to killerturnerstoner)
Yes...as this one works OK for me. If has a few negatives but they don't worry me and I accept your cant please all the people all the time. Including me
Re: so will you?gallp13 Nov 30, 2012 7:01 PM (in response to gallp13)
Oh and I acknowledge run_n_gun's point for A$75 I get 300 hours of entertainment plus elite and the forums.......that's awesome value as far as I'm concerned. Nothing else comes close.
Re: so will you?nicedrewishfela Nov 30, 2012 7:42 PM (in response to gallp13)
Always been my argument as well.
Theme park admission for a single day is hovering around $100, not including food and souvenirs.
Movie tickets around $10-$15(IMAX), and I get 2-4 hours of entertainment.
Concert tickets range from $50- crazy money for a few hours of entertainment.
Always gotten my money's worth in CoD. I think some folks take little details too seriously. I just play to have fun. CoD is the most consistently fun online experience for me.
Re: so will you?Cablez Nov 30, 2012 7:36 PM (in response to killerturnerstoner)
If I like what I see then yes, and to be honest, even if I purchase it and don't, the money involved is hardly a bank breaker ....Like stated above if your getting plenty of game time, your getting more than your value for money...

Kevin Zhang
Thank you, Tiffany. Good day to all and welcome to Trina Solar second quarter 2013 earnings conference call. This is Kevin Zhang, Trina Solar's Head of Investor Relations. With us today are Trina Solar's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Jifan Gao; Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Terry Wang and President of Trina Solar's Module Business Unit, Mr. Zhiguo Zhu.
Before I turn the call over to Mr. Gao, may I remind our listeners that in this call, management's prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. Therefore, the company claims the protection of the Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

And with that, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Trina Solar's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Jifan Gao for our second quarter opening remarks.
Jifan Gao
Thank you, Kevin, and thank you everyone for joining us today. First of all, I am pleased to announce that we achieved record quarterly shipment numbers in the second quarter of 2013, exceeding our original guidance by more than 100 megawatts. With robust global demand, we took full advantage of our global sales network and strong brand to seize available commercial opportunities.
In terms of pricing, the ASP of modules has stabilized compared to the falling trend seen in previous quarters. As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and cost control, we achieved continuing reductions in non-silicon costs that contributed to quarter-on-quarter margin improvement.
In the second quarter, there was regulatory uncertainty surrounding the E.U.'s anti-dumping case against PV imports from China. Geographic diversification of revenue was important to mitigate such regulatory risks. We achieved strong shipment increasing growth markets, including China, the U.S., India and Japan, which added to our stable shipments to Europe.
We continue to monitor the latest developments in the trade case and encouraged by the recent solution negotiated between the E.U. and China. We remain committed to continuing to serve our customers and business partners in Europe, with whom we have built strong relationships.
In terms of project development, we made good progress in the 50 megawatt power plant project in Wuwei, Gansu Province, China in the second quarter. Construction has been completed and we expect the facility to be grid connected and beginning electricity generation by the end of the third quarter of 2013.
Following the end of the second quarter, we completed the redemption of all remaining outstanding CD when they became due in July 2013. We continue to manage our balance sheet and liquidity position carefully, which will ensure that we have the necessary resources to develop downstream opportunities.
Finally, I would like to update you that Trina Solar has received the global No. 1 ranking in SVTC's Solar Scorecard. The strategy based on sustainability and social justice benchmarks, (inaudible).
With that, I would now like to turn the call to our CFO, Terry Wang to share our second quarter 2013 financial results and other updates. Terry?
Terry Wang
Thank you, Mr. Gao, and welcome everyone to our call. I would like to present an overview of our second quarter financial results, followed by the company's guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2013.
Due to improving supply/demand balance and pricing rationalization, module ASP in the second quarter is stable from the first quarter. Our manufacturing cost improved noticeably, which allowed to achieve double digit gross margin in the second quarter, exceeding our initial guidance of a middle single digit in the percentage terms.
We achieved module shipments of 647 megawatts which is within our revised guidance of 630 to 650 megawatts and the total net revenue of $440.7 million in the second quarter. Quarter-on-quarter shipment volume decreased approximately 64.6%. Our second quarter shipment number [exceed] our previous quarterly guidance by more than 200 megawatts, impacted by inventories with higher carrying costs and $9.1 million fixed assets charges relating to discontinuation of operating our multi-crystalline equipment.
Our gross profit was $51.2 million, a sequential increase from $4.4 million in the first quarter. Overall, gross margin was 11.6%, in line with our revised guidance of 11% to 12%. Our gross margin excluding the effect of the fixed asset charge was approximately 13.7%.

Dare 2B Digital's mission is to re-define the image of CS/STEM globally. Our goal is to increase digital fluency of young women through student engagement and mentoring. By partnering with us, your organization will play a vital role in changing the gender dynamic in STEM fields, particularly in Computer Science.
Our mission aligns with trends in education technology: mobility, social project-based learning, industry mentor connections, collaborative video and digital networking.
Facilitating Year-Round Learning
Since 2009, our highly successful Dare 2B Digital Conference has excited, engaged and educated young women ages 11-17 with support from industry mentors, parents, government and academia.
Plans to Expand in 2015! Dare 2B Digital Innovation Challenge
We're excited to introduce a new Dare 2B Digital Innovation Challenge that will enable student ambassadors to recruit team members from their community to solve a global problem. We'll provide knowledge, technology tools and industry mentors to support the competition. Teams will submit their solution as a video and will be invited to the Dare 2B Digital Film Festival to share their results and earn scholarships, internships and prizes.
California State Assembly member Jerry Hill introduced HR-34 in Sacramento to recognize Dare 2B Digital's efforts to encourage more young women to pursue careers in STEM.
Dare 2B Digital is produced by Invent Your Future Foundation, a California 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation formed to advance education, instruct individuals for the purpose of improving or developing their capabilities and educate the public on subjects useful to the individual and beneficial to the community.
The U.S. is falling behind in developing its future workforce of technologists.
- In 2012, women made up only 26% of the computing workforce.1
- The number of first-year undergrad women interested in majoring in computer science degrees fell 64% 2000 to 2012.2
- Diverse perspectives boost innovation, productivity and competitiveness. IT patents from mixed-gender teams are cited up to 42% more – yet U.S. women are involved in only 9% of them.3
