text: budget Ends and Means: Despite Differences Over State Budget, Lawmakers from Both Sides Worked Together By Charles N. Wheeler III • Jun 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues The fiscal fiasco otherwise known as state budget-making has a lot of Illinoisans searching for descriptive terms harsh enough to fully express their disdain for state legislators. Lawmakers left Springfield a few weeks ago without accomplishing the only chore they really needed to do before their self-imposed May 7 adjournment deadline — fashion a spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Ends and Means: Illinois' Budget Woes Could Undercut Its Application for Federal Education Dollars By Charles N. Wheeler III • May 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues Can Illinois finish in the money in Round II of Race to the Top? The answer could hinge on budget decisions that state lawmakers will make in coming days. At stake is as much as $400 million to underwrite efforts to improve Illinois schools under Race to the Top, the education centerpiece of the Obama administration. Ends and Means: Leaders Have Responded Abysmally to the State's Fiscal Crisis By Charles N. Wheeler III • Apr 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues Illinois faces its worst fiscal crisis in eight decades, a daunting challenge for the state's purported leaders. So how have they responded? In a word, abysmally. Indeed, the leadership deficit almost rivals the state's dollar shortfall. Consider: In his budget memo last month — at 21 minutes, too short and devoid of specifics to merit being called an address — Gov. Pat Quinn essentially punted. All About the Budget: The Upcoming Legislative Session Promises to Have a Central Theme By John Patterson • Jan 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues "Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was." – Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime. When Illinois lawmakers return to the Capitol to embark on their 2010 spring session, they'll find new laptop computers. It is perhaps the only truly new item competing for their attention in the coming months. Their legislative agenda is a burgeoning plate of political leftovers chock full of issues put off and punted in recent years, each snowballing the consequences for taxpayers and those who rely on state services or funding. State of the State: State Continues to Plan New Facilities but Has No Money to Operate Them By Kurt Erickson • Jan 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues Thomson, a maximum-security prison in northwestern Illinois, has sat virtually empty since it was completed in 2001. The federal government announced plans to buy it in mid-December. On the day before Veterans Day, Gov. Pat Quinn held an event in Chicago to announce the site for a new state-run nursing home for veterans. The facility, to be paid for by the long-awaited capital construction program that lawmakers approved last summer, would be the state's fifth veterans' home and the first in the Chicago area. Pay Delay: Despite Receiving Extra Federal Funds, Illinois' Budget Banks on Delaying Payments By Bethany Jaeger • Oct 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues Todd Evers is in constant conversation with his bank, most recently in August, to prepare for the "inevitable what if." What if the state stops paying? He has had to borrow money twice a year for the past decade to keep open his group of pharmacies in Collinsville and the St. Louis area as he waits for a check from the Illinois comptroller that will pay him for services he provided to public aid customers months ago. Editor's Note: Illinois Has Company in its Budget Woes By Dana Heupel • Oct 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues It's said that misery loves company. If that's true, Illinois has plenty of both. The misery stems from money and programs that lawmakers and Gov. Pat Quinn have extracted from the state budget to try to fight the decay in state revenues caused by the economic recession. The company comes from other states that face the same massive financial problems. State of the State: Even Small Budget Cuts Hit Home in a Big Way By Bethany Jaeger • Oct 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues Centers for people with disabilities and many other community-based services have known for months that they were unlikely to receive as much state funding as they have in previous years. But even a 10 percent to 20 percent reduction in funding can significantly alter their clients' daily lives. Editor's Note: Lawmakers Need to Profile Some Courage By Dana Heupel • Sep 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues When the smoke finally cleared in mid-July after the battle to produce a state budget, it was immediately obvious that the ashes were still smoldering and ready to reignite at any moment. Ends and Means: Illinois' Budget is the Most Out-of-Whack in Recent History By Charles N. Wheeler III • Sep 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues As the legislative session gets under way each January amid a blizzard of bill introductions, Statehouse watchers have modest expectations: All lawmakers really have to do is pass a budget. State of the State: The Search for New Revenue Sources will Come to a Head This Month By Bethany Jaeger • May 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues Democrats and Republicans fully expected to make tough choices this year. As they react to the 17th month of a national recession and a $12.4 billion deficit projected for next year, Illinois lawmakers are on the hot seat now. Gov. Pat Quinn proposed his own plan that would trim spending and generate new revenues. Some of his money-making ideas are expected to create tough votes for lawmakers before May 31, the day they're supposed to adjourn the spring legislative session. High Expectations: Federal Stimulus Package Could Help, but it Won't Solve Expanding Budget Deficit By Bethany Jaeger • Apr 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues Just as Illinois citizens want to know when federal stimulus money will trickle down to help them pay their mortgages or open the door to jobs, state officials want to know when the money will help them avoid drastic cuts to services or painful increases in state taxes. State of the State: Dire Economic Conditions Should Force State Lawmakers to Budget Every Penny By Bethany Jaeger • Mar 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues Gov. Pat Quinn and state legislators will have to be held accountable on spending this year. They can't afford not to be. Without help from a federal stimulus package, the state could face up to a $9 billion deficit. Declining revenues merge with overdue bills for an ominous picture. And that's before the nation's economic crisis is fully taken into account. Ends and Means: The Governor's Troubles Distract from Illinois' Budget Woes By Charles N. Wheeler III • Feb 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues In recent weeks, the Gov. Rod Blagojevich sideshow has attracted an international audience, with its latest twists and turns now regular fare on the BBC's world news broadcasts. While becoming an international laughingstock is certainly embarrassing, the unwanted attention also has created an unwelcome distraction from the grave problems facing the state and its citizens. Ends and Means: Illinois , Like States Across the Nation, Faces a Tight Revenue Squeeze By Charles N. Wheeler III • Nov 1, 2008 WUIS/Illinois Issues A few weeks ago, Congress and the George W. Bush administration cobbled together a $700 billion rescue plan for Wall Street, in hopes of avoiding economic catastrophe for Main Street. Too bad the plan's architects didn't worry about Capitol Avenue and Statehouse Square as well, as state governments from California to Rhode Island struggle with sagging revenue growth that is jeopardizing their ability to provide needed services. Noted Stateline.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan online news site last month: Ends and Means: The Grim Fact is This State is Flat-Out Broke By Charles N. Wheeler III • Apr 1, 2008 WUIS/Illinois Issues As Illinois lawmakers return from spring break for what everyone fervently hopes will be the last two months of the legislative session, one grim fact overshadows all others: The state is flat-out broke. No, even worse, it's plunged deep in debt, the result of years of living beyond its means. Consider a smattering of news items that appeared before the General Assembly left Springfield in mid-March: Ends and Means: The Dysfunctional Ds Set New Standards for Governing Incompetence By Charles N. Wheeler III • Sep 1, 2007 WUIS/Illinois Issues As the seemingly interminable spring legislative session drags on through the dog days of summer and lawmakers begin circulating petitions for re-election, Democratic lawmakers can't be enthusiastic about the record compiled by their leaders. Despite controlling all the levers of the lawmaking machinery — the governorship and majorities in both the Senate and the House — the dysfunctional Ds set new standards for governing incompetence. Ends and Means: Should officials cash in state assets? By Charles N. Wheeler III • Apr 1, 2007 WUIS/Illinois Issues "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood... ." Daniel H. Burnham In his State of the State/budget address last month, Gov. Rod Blagojevich quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and cited Hercules' struggle to kill the many-headed Hydra. But the $60 billion spending plan he presented also seemed to embody the advice of the famed Chicago architect, for it was truly super-sized. Blagojevich called for: Editor's Notebook: Lawmakers face some major challenges. Already the strains are apparent By Peggy Boyer Long • Mar 1, 2007 WUIS/Illinois Issues So it begins. Illinois lawmakers have returned to Springfield and are getting under way on what could become the most significant spring session in recent memory — and most likely the longest-running since 2004, when an overtime session threatened lawmakers' July 4th festivities. That year, the state budget was a shambles. Officials were sitting on overdue bills, delaying obligations to public pension systems and ignoring needed repairs on roads and schools. Lawmakers took a swing at providing adequate per pupil funding but dropped the ball on inequities in school spending. Ends and Means: A thoughtful voter might conclude there's some truth on all sides of budget debate By Charles N. Wheeler III • Jun 1, 2006 WUIS/Illinois Issues "This spending plan reflects our values. This spending plan responds to working families ... [and the] unfortunate in our state." Sen. Jeffrey M. Schoenberg, an Evanston Democrat. "This is a fiscal fiasco that is staring the taxpayers in the face. What we have is a champagne and caviar budget when we can't afford it." Rep. Dave Winters, a Shirland Republican. "We found just the right level of funding to make this budget work." Rep. Gary Hannig, a Litchfield Democrat. Ends and Means: The governor's budget is a political statement about his vision and campaign appeal By Charles N. Wheeler III • Mar 1, 2006 WUIS/Illinois Issues A couple of weeks ago, Gov. Rod Blagojevich formally announced what most folks thought has been pretty apparent since the day he took office — he is seeking another term as the state's chief executive. The governor's statewide flyaround followed by a few days his budget address to a joint session of the Illinois legislature, in which he unveiled a $55.3 billion spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Editor's Notebook: Lawmakers plan a quick trip but we will track the itinerary By Peggy Boyer Long • Feb 1, 2006 WUIS/Illinois Issues Fasten those seat belts. The spring legislative session is on a fast track. This being an election year, no one wants to run into unexpected controversies. This being Illinois, the ride could get bumpy. Lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn April 7, nearly two months before the state's constitutional deadline. But in these next few weeks, they'll have a lot of ground to cover. Uncle Sam's Pocket: Where there's federal cash, states choose to follow, losing rights along the way By Pan Guinane • Nov 1, 2005 The classroom, the polling place and now the DMV. Uncle Sam keeps showing up in the most peculiar places. These unwelcome intrusions onto state turf come under the banner of federalism, the notion that a national policy will reap results across all states. Ends and Means: Democrats declared a holiday and left Springfield for the summer By Charles N. Wheeler III • Jun 1, 2005 WUIS/Illinois Issues As Democratic leaders prepared to ram a $54-plus billion budget through the Illinois legislature on May 31 — thus avoiding another overtime session — Gov. Rod Blagojevich was ebullient. "I feel real good about the session," he told reporters following cameo appearances in the Senate and the House. "My only regret is that it has to end now." State of the State: The governor has ruled out a tax hike so budgeteers will need to be creative By Pat Guinane • May 1, 2005 WUIS/Illinois Issues Two contradictory pledges, more than anything else, have come to define Rod Blagojevich's tenure as governor. Since the campaign trail, the Chicago Democrat has promised he wouldn't hike income or sales taxes to erase the state deficit. And he wouldn't balance the budget by slashing spending on education, health care or public safety. Ends and Means: The governor's budget plan counts on illusion and wishful thinking By Charles N. Wheeler III • Mar 1, 2005 WUIS/Illinois Issues In his 1817 autobiography, British poet Samuel Coleridge wrote of a "willing suspension of disbelief" that enables a reader to become caught up in a work of fiction. Gov. Rod Blagojevich must have been hoping for a similar state of mind among legislators and other Illinois citizens last month when he presented his proposed budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Ends and Means: Illinois House leaders plan regional budget hearings to gather citizen input By Charles N. Wheeler III • Feb 1, 2005 WUIS/Illinois Issues Don't expect the glitz of a rock concert or the fervor of a tent revival, but the Illinois House's Budget 2006 road show could be a top draw in coming weeks. Planning for Illinois' Future? Why can't politicians behave like the work-for-tomorrow ant? By Christopher Z. Mooney • Jan 1, 2005 Why is Illinois borrowing to pay state operating expenses? Will the state employee pension system be solvent after those early retirement deals? How will the state close the budget deficit? Illinois hasn't been the only state to face long-term fiscal and policy crises in recent years. Remember California's energy shutdown? Who could forget Florida's ballot debacles? And now every state seems to be grappling with a shortage of flu vaccine. Editor's Notebook: We have only ourselves to blame if the budget is a dry hole and rhetoric is hot By Peggy Boyer Long • Jun 1, 2004 WUIS/Illinois Issues Hard to believe. A few years back, state leaders mailed property tax "rebates" to homeowners. They gave motorists a pass on the sales tax at the pump and scattered thousands, no millions, of state dollars across Illinois' myriad towns and hamlets so locals could dedicate statues, decorate parking garages and deliver tutus to tiny ballerinas. It was quite a time. State of the State: What, me worry? The governor is happy with his first budget By Aaron Chambers • Nov 1, 2003 WUIS/Illinois Issues Gov. Rod Blagojevich has on his happy face. Since the General Assembly adjourned for the summer, the governor has been busy applauding his administration for plugging a $5 billion budget hole. After all, he won the Executive Mansion by running against "business as usual" cronyism, wasteful spending and budget talks behind closed doors. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

text: 220 is really great, especially during a portrait session. Having to re-load film while having someone waiting is fairly annoying. Kodak still seems to be offering Portra 160 and Portra 400 in 220. Those are the only 220 films that I know of at this point. I know that the new Ferrania film project mentioned that they have 220 capability so maybe they will eventually offer a 220 film.

text: This year we have a battle of the icons with a Tomb Raider reboot, and the third installment of the Uncharted series both being released. They are both fairly similar games, in fact, there can be no doubt that the Tomb Raider series is a huge influence on the Uncharted series. Although there is certainly space for both games and their iconic protagonists to coexist without a hassle, I find myself questioning which game will be better and consequently which icon will grab my heart this year.

State. Sen. Tracy announces challenge to DesJarlais
NASHVILLE — State Sen. Jim Tracy launched a Republican primary challenge against U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais on Wednesday, declaring "America's problems are too great to have our leaders preoccupied with their own personal scandals."
Tracy, a Shelbyville insurance agent elected without opposition to a new four-year term in the state Senate on Nov. 6, is the first candidate to officially announce his intention to challenge DesJarlais. But state Rep. Joe Carr, R-Lascassas, has set up an "exploratory committee" and others have said they are considering a race.
"It's with a heavy heart I've decided to challenge the incumbent in my own party," said Tracy in his kickoff speech at Murfreesboro. "For the good people of the 4th Congressional District who hold our Tennessee values dear, a change in leadership is a must. A place like Washington, D.C., requires someone of integrity, someone of good character.
"Scott DesJarlais has betrayed and deceived his constituents. America's problems are too great to have our leaders preoccupied with their own personal scandals," he said.
Tracy, 56, also declared his support for 2nd Amendment rights and said he is "100 percent pro-life" and "I believe marriage is between one man and one woman."
"My actions have always reflected my beliefs," Tracy said.
DesJarlais, since his re-election to a new term with 56 percent of the vote over Democrat Eric Stewart, has seen increased criticism stemming from postelection release of a transcript of his divorce trial a dozen years ago. The transcript includes DesJarlais testifying about sexual affairs with patients, one of whom said she had an abortion, and revealed he agreed to two abortions by his ex-wife.
The state Democratic Party has provided the Board of Medical Examiners with a copy of the transcript. The board is investigating whether DesJarlais' relationship with patients violated rules for physicians — an investigation triggered by complaints filed against him by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Former state Sen. Roy Herron of Dresden says he will seek election as chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party at a meeting of the party's executive committee later this month.
Meanwhile, state Rep. Sherry Jones told The Tennessean she "probably" will not be a candidate to replace outgoing Chairman Chip Forrester, because of a busy schedule and doubts about whether a woman can win the post.
That still leaves Herron with four opponents in the intraparty contest: Jane Hampton Brown, a Chattanooga labor activist; David Garrison, currently the state party's treasurer; Wade Munday, former communications director for the party who unsuccessfully opposed Forrester's re-election two years ago; and Nashville lawyer Ben Smith.
Herron is probably the best known of the candidates after serving years in the state House and Senate before deciding against seeking re-election in 2012. He briefly sought the Democratic nomination for governor in 2010, but wound up instead running for the 8th Congressional District seat won by Republican Stephen Fincher. But Garrison is well known to executive committee members, who elected him to the post of treasurer.
The executive committee meets Jan. 26.
The state Department of Transportation has decided to continue displaying Tennessee traffic fatality reports on digital billboards posted along major highways, though acknowledging in a news release Wednesday that the practice had become "somewhat controversial."
But Commissioner John Schroer said the messages giving the number of deaths on state highways will only be displayed weekly rather than daily.
"We feel the fatality messages have been extremely successful in increasing awareness about highway deaths across the state this year, and may have helped us stop the dramatic increase we saw early in 2012," said Schroer. "We have also heard from drivers who say the messages have caused them to make positive changes in their driving behavior."
The state recorded at least 1,013 traffic deaths in 2012, compared to 938 in 2011. The signs began displaying fatality numbers in April, 2012, after deaths at the time were running well ahead of the 2011 totals.

But I have my own questions on the subject: How do you define casual sex? Why do you believe people engage in it? Does it have different consequences for women and men? And are there …Read more.more articles
DEAR SUSAN: It seems to me that a recent "Single File" blogger has not truly accepted that she may be single all her life. There's no guarantee that she'll ever find a man whom she wants to marry or that if she does, he will want to marry her. (Even if she moves to Alaska, joins the military or works on an oil rig. Nobody gets that guarantee.) She could stop the anxiety attacks/fainting spells in one of two ways. She could marry anyone just to say she's married. He could be an alcoholic, a pedophile and an extortionist, but at least she'd know she was married. The alternative would be to truly accept that she might not ever marry and build the best life she could. My point is that we don't always get what we deeply want — a loving father, a baby brother, a large inheritance, etc. — because that depends on other people, whom we can't control. We can only control ourselves. I'd suggest that the blogger needs the help of a good counselor to reach this understanding, because her body is clearly sending that message. It takes some work to readjust your thinking — to see that what you had always counted on might not be in the cards. Ironically, accepting that she might remain single would actually free her from that "I am desperate" vibe that scares off romantic possibilities. As you yourself mention, Susan, and as I have said often, normal people run from desperation. — From the "Single File" blog
DEAR BLOGGER: By George, you've got it! You've reached a high level of understanding — either by being a poster boy for desperation, which had put you on the receiving end of some pretty hard knocks, or by working with a good counselor, teamwork that gave you access to insight from your own depths. However you got there, you've learned that desperation is fundamentally wrongheaded, the exact opposite mindset you need to have to get what you want. All the answers are within, friend, but accessing them takes a bit of doing. People flee from looking within with all sorts of rationalizations, kidding themselves into thinking it's not necessary, that it's not a necessity, but a luxury. The blogger you're talking about has a problem — probably not structurally, but with wrong thinking that is weakening her. Large doses of fear and insecurity are weakening her body with lack of self-confidence.
DEAR SUSAN: A recent blogger's post about singles at restaurants reminds me of my basketball coach in school. He would bounce the ball back and forth in front of himself, and then, out of the blue, he'd suddenly throw it at one of us. Some of us caught it; some had it bounce off them. He would shout at us to "expect the ball at all times." He was teaching us to be in the now, to be present every minute of the day. Some single people (marrieds, too) catch a virus called aloneness. The prescribed cures — being active, volunteering, taking classes — don't always work, and then the virus can snowball. There is a cure, but it's hard to find. Sometimes we can get ourselves unstuck, but there are times we simply can't get ourselves out of that rut. — From the "Single File" blog
DEAR BLOGGER: Living in the present moment is perhaps the greatest lesson, the root of genuine joy. Think of it — seeing, hearing, speaking spontaneously to the moment at hand. That may be the real cure for loneliness, being so intent on living in the present moment that one's aloneness falls away. Not that there aren't genuine lonely moments — missing a beloved, sorrow at the passing of a dear one. But the daily condition of being who we are, essentially separate and single, is undeniable. We are all traveling single file through life, so it makes good sense to shore up our personhood and make it unassailable. Fear is the enemy of contentment. (Buddhists suggest that meditation can quiet the "monkey mind" in all of us, the mindset that flits from thought to thought without thinking any one through to a conclusion.) The truth is that life lived in the present moment is the clearest path. Yes, there are lonely moments. Loneliness may just be part of the human condition. But making friends with yourself, really liking who you are and what you stand for, is the very best way to get through those low moments with grace.

Morrow: Regis to face local basketball star
Lovable TV host Regis Philbin - known for mouthing off and making loud declarations of athletic superiority - may be meeting his match on Monday morning's "Live with Regis & Kelly" - when he faces off against a Knoxville-area college athlete.
Philbin has announced (in a very bragging way) that he will take on Ken Mink, the 73-year-old student who plays on Roane State Community College's team. The play-off can be seen at 9 a.m. on WVLT, Channel 8.
It should be good TV. After all, Philbin is 77, but refers to Mink as "a young man." Nonetheless, an alleged geezer such as Philbin thinks he can take on Mink and squash him on the court.
We'll be the judge of that.
Mink has garnered national acclaim after word about him being the oldest college basketball player in the history of education - from the dawn of time, some say - was revealed in the News Sentinel in October. The New York Times did a spread of him a couple of days ago, capturing Philbin's eye and spurring the TV personality to issue an on-air challenge to Mink.
This game between the two spry guys will come halfway through "Regis & Kelly," in between guests like Rosario Dawson and the winner of "Survivor: Gabon" (to be named Sunday night).
And that ain't all, honey.
Mink's 68-year-old wife, Emilia, will be on the sidelines, wearing a cheerleader's uniform and urging on her man. The Minks live in Farragut.
Philbin has a knack for challenging mature athletes. Last month, he mouthed off and took on an elderly woman who is a table tennis champion. She whipped him.
Now he is determined to take on Mink, a former News Sentinel entertainment editor (and an ancestor to the Tele-buddy; Mink used to be the paper's TV critic, too).
As to how well Philbin will do against Mink, even folks connected to the show aren't sure.
"We don't how well he can play," one source at the show says. "I guess we'll find out."
Terry Morrow may be reached at email@example.com or 865-342-6445. His blog can be found at blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/telebuddy/. He contributes to "Live @ Five @ Four" on WBIR, Channel 10, and "The Marc & Kim & Frank Show" on WWST-FM, 102.1.

A delightful beachfront summer house ensconced in a private nature reserve.
Set on a gorgeous, secluded stretch of sandy beach, Profondo Blu takes its name from the enticing colour of the sea that gently caresses the surf just beyond the garden gate. Sun-baked Mediterranean maquis, shady trees and succulent plants make up the 15 hectares of private nature reserve that envelope the house in a cocoon of fragrant tranquility, providing the perfect retreat for those wishing to get away from the rigours of everyday life.
"I love this place. It was perfect for me and my family." Christian Uhlemann, Germany, October 2013
Profondo Blu in the press:
Departures, October 2012 >>
Inside: accommodation at Profondo Blu is all on one level and is accessed from a shady, sheltered courtyard. The first thing you notice on entering the house is the view straight out to sea from the large, luminous open-plan living and dining area. French windows bring in the sunlight and provide access to the delightful seafront terraces. Next to the dining area is the the well-equipped, traditional Sicilian kitchen, which also opens onto the seafront terrace and the inviting al fresco dining area. A corridor leads from the living area to the sleeping quarters, where there is a double and a twin/double bedroom sharing a shower room and the master bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.
Outside: the focal point for guests at Profondo Blu is without doubt the large panoramic sea-view terrace. Cushioned sofas are arranged to maximise the views from under shady gazebos, while the al fresco dining area is served seamlessly from the indoor kitchen, an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven and a barbecue area. A gentle path leads for about 50m from the terrace down to Profondo Blu's truly unique feature: a sea gate opening onto a divine sandy beach. There are few, if any houses in western Sicily that have such easy access to such a quiet beach and even in the height of summer you will find only a few people on 'your' stretch of sand. Turn right along the beach and you'll soon be at La Pineta, one of the best seafood restaurants in the area. Behind the house is a large sheltered courtyard terrace, offering an alternative dining and relaxing area, a table tennis table, and a cool, shady wood that is part of the 15 private hectares of pristine nature reserve. Paths lead around the grounds, making it perfect for anyone wishing to run off their pasta or stroll amongst the fascinating variety of indigenous Sicilian flora that flourishes unperturbed in the reserve.
=yes/present = optional/on request
*in bedrooms and living area
**entrance fees apply
***La Pineta, one of the area's best restaurants, is about a 3.5km walk away along the sandy beach below the house
Profondo Blu is ideal for nature lovers looking for silence, peace and relative isolation.
The property is accessed via a track which leads for about two hundred metres from the nearest asphalted road.
The owners' donkeys and mouflons (a type of sheep) are left free to roam the reserve. They are not dangerous and cannot get close to the house, which is surrounded by a wood fence..
Guests staying at Profondo Blu have privileged access to Planeta's exclusive Beach Club at Lido Fiori in Menfi (entrance fees apply).
The beauty and peace of your own personal nature reserve may make it difficult to pull yourselves away but you really should visit Selinunte and have a superb lunch or dinner on the beach at the restaurant La Pineta (a walk along the beach from Profondo Blu). Several of the towns nearby are also well worth a visit. Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo both have charming old centres, some great restaurants and working ports with a large fishing fleets that work the Mediterannean daily. Caltabellotta is spectacularly situated in the craggy hills overlooking both coast and interior, while Menfi is an up-and-coming centre of excellence for the wine trade... to name a few.
The beaches in the area of Porto Palo-Menfi have received 13 consecutive "Blue Flags", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence. Guests staying at Profondo Blu have privileged access to Planeta's exclusive Beach Club at Lido Fiori in Menfi (entrance fees apply).

Rangers Photos
Five things to be worried about as Rangers shift attention to wild-card race
Photo: G.J. McCarthy/Staff Photographer
5. NO PLACE BUT HOME / The Rangers have the worst home record among teams with winning records in all of Major League Baseball (39-35). Their road record (42-32) is also best in the bigs. Go figure. Even though those two marks kind of cancel each other out, the Rangers close the season with seven straight home games. The Rangers can take a huge step toward the postseason in these next four games in Tampa Bay, but in all likelihood, they will have to clinch at home — a tall order based on the team's recent form at Rangers Ballpark.

Those are all quite nice names, but I ended up voting for Oliver. Oliver and Finnegan work together in a very unique, kinda spunky way. Finnegan makes Oliver more fun. Flynn I like, but the whole flow of the three names just doesn't work that wonderfully. Maxwell would be my second choice, and it does go well with Elias, but not quite as awesome as Oliver Finnegan.Updated Name List- http://www.ebabynames.com/list/eff115- Vote away...

Sofia Vergara on Being a Bombshell: "I Don't Believe in a Natural Look"
Sofia Vergara oozes sex appeal, whether she's walking the red carpet in a skin-tight, cleavage-baring dress or working out in tight yoga pants and a tank top. In the August 2013 issue of Harper's Bazaar, the Modern Family actress says she never grows tired of being a bombshell.
PHOTOS: Sofia Vergara's sexiest red carpet looks
"I'm Latin; I do it no matter what. It's automatic," she says of her sexy persona. "I shower, do hair and makeup. For me, it's like shaving. I don't believe in a natural look. Lipstick brightens your face! Unless you're Gisele Bundchen or 19, you need something."
PHOTOS: Secrets from the Modern Family set
Vergara, who celebrated her 41st birthday on July 10, shows off her famous curves on the magazine's cover by wearing a Dolce & Gabbana blouse and briefs. In the accompanying photo spread, she models looks by Ralph Lauren Collection, Dior, and Miu Miu.
TV's highest-paid actress also gushes about her fiance, Nick Loeb. "He's really handsome. He's 6-foot-4, and he has blue eyes and a lot of black hair," she says before adding, "Or it used to be black. Now it's got a lot of white in it. Nick says all the white hair came from me."
PHOTOS: Star bra sizes revealed!
The future spouses divide their time between New York City and Los Angeles, where Vergara shoots Modern Family. "I'm very independent, so it's been a process for me, learning to live with somebody," she admits. Still, she relishes her role on the Emmy Award winning sitcom. "I don't think there's ever going to be a better part for me," she tells Harper's Bazaar. "But I do think -- and my son [Manolo] and boyfriend agree with me -- that I could play a crazy psychopath. I'm not joking."

My parents have a house in Mississippi, which I just found out is being foreclosed. I think the sale is going to happen soon. My siblings and I have some funds available and we'd like to help them out. Can we get the house back for them after the foreclosure sale?
No, you won't be able to get the home back after the foreclosure sale. Some states allow a foreclosed homeowner to repurchase or "redeem" the home after a foreclosure by reimbursing the person or other entity who bought it at the sale for the full purchase price. Mississippi, however, does not provide foreclosed homeowners with a right of redemption after the sale.
You do have other options to save the home though. You potentially can:
- redeem the home before the sale, or
- work out some other alternative to foreclosure. (This is discussed in more detail below.)
When You Can Redeem the Home in a Mississippi Foreclosure
In Mississippi, there is no right of redemption after a foreclosure, so you can't get the house back following the sale. However, homeowners do get what's referred to as an "equitable right of redemption" before the sale. During this time you can redeem the home by paying off the loan. (Learn more general information about the equitable right of redemption.)
How Much You'll Have to Pay to Save Your Home
To redeem the home before the sale, you'll have to come up with the full amount of the unpaid loan plus interest, as well as all other costs and fees associated with the foreclosure. This will stop the foreclosure. Since you are short on time, it may be worthwhile to hire a Mississippi attorney to help you with the process.
Take Action to Save the Home Before the Foreclosure Sale Takes Place
Keep in mind that there may also be other ways available to you to save the home, other than paying off the loan to redeem the property. For example, you could potentially help your parents:
- catch up on the past-due amounts and resume the making monthly payments (this is called reinstating the loan), or
- arrange an alternative to foreclosure with the lender, such as a mortgage modification, forbearance agreement, or repayment plan.
If you want to stop the sale you'll need to take action immediately. Again, it might be a good idea to speak with an attorney who can help you with this. (To learn more about foreclosure laws and procedures in Mississippi, visit Nolo's Mississippi Foreclosure Law Center.)
How to Find Mississippi's Foreclosure Laws
To find the statutes that discuss foreclosure sales in Mississippi, go to Title 89, Chapter 1 (§§ 89-1-55 through 89-1-59) of the Mississippi Code.

Making Your Point
Oct 6, 2010 12:00 PM, By Don Kreski
How to write for websites, brochures, engineering documents, or email.
If you want to write in a way that makes your business more successful, you may have to forget what your high school English teacher taught you.
I know that because I was once an English teacheror at least I was trained to be one before I started my career in marketing. In many ways, I've had to forget what I learned in high school in order to succeed as a writer.
The problem with high school English teachers is that most (though not all) teach a very formal writing style that's widely used and really dull. So unless you have a strong moral conviction that boredom and pain should be part of the working day, I'd like to make a few suggestions.
First of all, loosen up. If you have trouble getting started or dislike the process of writing, you can begin just by putting the information into the computer without worrying about your style. You can go back and polish what you wrote later.

Simplicity and clarity
Clarity is your number-one goal in any written communication. People are busy. They want to know what you're saying and understand it quickly. It's almost always the case that if you can rephrase something in fewer words, you're better off. I can often trim 20 percent from the word count in a draft I've written without losing any meaning. The result is something that's easier to read and quite a bit more interesting.
The most deadly (and common) problem in American writing is passive voice, sentences where there is no subject. A phrase like "The conference center was designed for high definition" is inherently dull. We don't know who designed the system and we don't care. Rephrase it to read: "Ace designed a high-definition system." It says more in fewer words.
Some people don't like to use personal pronouns. That's a problem, too, because it forces them to passively say, "The system will be programmed to..." Take some responsibility for what you do: "We will program the system ..." or "I believe that ..." or "We will include ..." It's true that Miss Pence told you not to use "I" or "we" in a formal essay, but in the real world, people will appreciate your clarity and candor.
Some people avoid contractions. It is legitimate to keep your writing a little more formal than your conversation, if that's what you prefer. But realize that great writers in every age have tried to capture the sound of the spoken word. Individual styles vary, but if yours is wordy, unclear, or hard to read, you're going to have trouble communicating.
Making Your Point
Oct 6, 2010 12:00 PM, By Don Kreski
How to write for websites, brochures, engineering documents, or email.
A good lead
Make your most important point first. You will get people's attention if you start out by telling them that they're going to save $50,000 by accepting your proposal. If you were writing a novel, you'd keep the climax for the end, but in a press release, a blog entry, or even just a note, the main thing you have to worry about is whether they will read it at all.
Journalists call the first sentence of an article the "lead," and they know that it's the most important sentence they will write. If you can write a good lead when you first sit down, the rest of the piece will follow naturally. Still, most people have to write a first draft before they can figure out what's most important or what will be most likely to grab their reader's attention. When that happens, pull your lead from wherever you find it and rewrite or rearrange as necessary.
Break things up
People like to digest complicated explanations in pieces. If you're telling the story of your company on your website, for example, write one topic per page and try to present each topic with a single theme that you introduce with a strong lead. If you're writing a proposal, separate the topics into distinct sections.
Within a given web page, letter, or article, organize your ideas into sub-sections and use subheads to set them off. Present your thoughts in bite-sized pieces, arranged in a logical order to make your point. If some readers skim your work rather than pore over it carefully, the subheads can help them follow your ideas. Miss Pence would never allow bullet points, but they can help you communicate to readers in a hurry.
Convince your readers
Avoid hype. Superlatives are not enough. Because we are constantly bombarded by advertising messages, any time you overstate your point, readers get suspicious.
What you need to do is find out what's true about the thing you're trying to describe, then state that simply and clearly. Prove, if possible, why it is "great," "best," or "world-class." Most of the time, if you give the reasons and skip the adjectives, you'll be more convincing.
For the sake of clarity, good spelling and punctuation are a must. Usually you're better off avoiding slang, jargon, and offbeat language, but it's OK to have fun once in a while, if you're sure your reader will appreciate it.
If it's an important document, read it aloud at the end of the writing process. Pronouncing the words, even in a whisper, forces you to stumble over any awkward phrases, anything that's unclear, and anything that's too formal. If you're worried about tonesay you're writing an email about something that makes you angry reading the piece aloud can help you see it from your reader's perspective.
Your reader, after all, is the person you must please. Forget the formal style that you learned in high school and you'll be a much more effective writer. You'll have more fun, too.

A training day with the theme "Shooting the Perfect Interview" - this is the example interview, recorded (and edited) on the day in Cumbernauld, 11th Nov 2009. Shot on a Sony EX3 directly linked by 1394 cable to a PC running Adobe's On Location recording/monitoring software, so recorded in HDV mode. Edited in Premiere CS4. Lit with Kinoflo Diva 400 and Dedolights, recorded on a 416 connected via a SQN4 to the EX3.
The different shots were recorded out of sequence at different times of the day, with the questions being recorded in the morning during the lighting session, and the main interview answers in the afternoon. This left less than two hours before the editing presentation, at the start of which the finished video was shown to the audience. What you see here has had a couple of tweeks afterwards, but is substantially what was edited on the day.

A sports car under the Nissan Z-car series, the Nissan 260Z was a 2.6-L variant of the first-gen Z-car, which was also known as the Nissan S30. Along with the 280Z variant, the 260Z model represented Nissan's attempts to offer a true-blue sports car despite changes in emissions regulations and stricter federal standards. Even though this model was only offered for a single model year in the US market, it earned a loyal following among Nissan and Datsun fans.
To understand how the 260Z has evolved, a look back at its predecessor, the 240Z, is necessary. Introduced in 1970, the 240Z was the first S30 model. Its most distinct features were a chrome badge bearing the "240Z" name and a couple of horizontal vents placed below the glass molding on the rear hatch. In the following years, several upgrades were done. The bumper riders for the 1972 units were relocated and emission devices were added for the 1973 models. However, despite these changes, there were still many complaints on the 240Z. As a solution to these complaints, Nissan decided to release a new version of the S30.
The 260Z was introduced to cater to buyers who want a genuine sports car not just in looks but also in performance. However, this was also the time when strict emission standards were beginning to be imposed by the US government. Nissan came up with the 260Z, a more powerful and more equipped version of the 240Z. But since this car has to meet new federal emissions standards, a few more upgrades were performed. It was equipped with a 2.6L engine that produced 139 horsepower but has a lower power peak. A transistorized breakerless ignition system was also added, which resulted in better emissions control and reliability.
For the exterior, only minor upgrades were done so as to retain its predecessor's classic lines. Since sports cars were given a one-year deferral from the new 5-mph federal regulation, the 260Z featured black rubber nubs on its new bumper assembly. This new bumper system prompted the engineers to add a rear stabilizer bar and stiffer springs. The 260Z was also now equipped with a seat belt/ignition interlock, a newly mandated safety feature that prevents drivers from starting the car if the passengers aren't secured in place with seat belts.
In late 1974, the bumper size was increased. Units released in the latter part of 1974 also featured an overall length that was 6.3 inches longer than the early models. In 1980, the 260Z model was dropped to make way for the 280Z variant.
The engine of the 260Z was increased into a 2.8-L engine configuration, making way for the 280Z variant. This model was released to cater to the needs of sports car buyers amidst stricter emission requirements. The 280Z was available in two special edition trims: the Zap and the Black Pearl edition. Four years later, the S30 series was dropped and was replaced by the Nissan S130.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. Sometimes a players opportunity comes from a teams desperation. The Detroit Lions started the season with a four-man rotation at receiver of Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, Titus Young and Ryan Broyles -- a superstar, a nine-year veteran and two promising second-round draft picks. That group now consists of Johnson, Mike Thomas, Brian Robiskie and Kris Durham -- the star, two newcomers added in late October and a practice-squad player just elevated to the 53-man roster. The Lions also have re-signed Michigan native Lance Long, who was released nine days before the season opener. Its a much-different look for quarterback Matthew Stafford entering Sundays game at Green Bay. We get three days of practice before the game, thats all we need, Stafford said, somewhat tongue in cheek, of the recent wide-receiver overhaul. As Thomas put it, its been a whirlwind since his arrival from Jacksonville in a trade five weeks ago. "It's a week-to-week league," he said. When...

For some strange reason the bellow sites have not updated its ACL files(ACL is a file that inserted in DVD2Xbox automatically delete the unnecesary files of your backups just to gain space in your HDD)
Sorry, I know that there is a thread here, but its about 63 pages, so I guess that a new thread can help a lot of people to save time, jep.
I am not sure, but maybe this sites have not updated its database from april/04, so do you know a website or some kind of source to get the ACL files for games released after april/04 upto date?

I like Baker - get the 2nd edition. Actually, get any edition if you can afford it. Duffin too - very expensive.
I think there are places that do library "reprint" copies.
Wall - download that from the link Denise gave above for my website - I have a cleaner pdf where the diagrams are actually included that I need to upload... Email me if you want that.
Speaking of Carroll - he has a book from 1980 that I think it perhaps a good one to get - it's fairly modern and not all that expensive. Introduction to Photographic Theory: The Silver Halide Process.
I found a copy for $35 once. See here for some used copies:
And Denise - I think today it's ships passing in the rain for us!

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
