The 10 Biggest Douchebags in Country Music
By Mike Seeley
Named after some faux LP sleeves in the liner notes of their classic album I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One, Condo Fucks are a chance for the long-running band to cut loose and make a record that doesn't really sound like Yo La Tengo. There's none of the usual stylistic range or musical depth here on Fuckbook; every song is a raw surge of garage-rock, thriving on volume and distortion.
This is also a casual list of influences, and it's not the first time Yo La Tengo have covered the Beach Boys, Kinks and Flamin' Groovies. The album kicks off with the primitive stomp and shout of the Small Faces' "What'cha Gonna Do About It," a suitable introduction to the treble-kicked release of energy that follows. It's all a bit of a mess, which is exactly the point. Even a mellower tune such as the Kinks' doleful "This Is Where I Belong" gets its vocals buried under an itchy, ramshackle arrangement.
Guitarist Ira Kaplan and bassist James McNew handle most of the singing, though the standout take on the Troggs' "With a Girl Like You"—recently covered by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek for Dark Was the Night—gives drummer Georgia Hubley a gorgeous chance at the mic. The whole thing's an exercise, sure, but who wouldn't want to hear these three pillage and plunder such choice oldies?

New higher resolution X-ray crystallography is uncovering molecularly precise insight into the workings of proteins and ribosomes. As we figure precisely how they work then we can take control and modify the processes. Thus advancing towards protein based pathways to molecular nanotechnology.
The crucial job of reading the genetic instructions and synthesizing the specified proteins is carried out by ribosomes, tiny protein factories humming away inside the cells of all living things. The researchers used a technique called x-ray crystallography, which involves growing crystals of purified >ribosomes, shining a focused beam of x-rays through the crystals, and analyzing the resulting diffraction pattern.
Noller's laboratory achieved breakthroughs in 1999 and 2001, producing the first high-resolution images of the molecular structure of a complete ribosome. Now, his team has made another major advance with an even higher-resolution image that enables them to construct an atom-by-atom model of the ribosome.
The new picture shows details never seen before and suggests how certain parts of the ribosome move during protein synthesis. The bacterial ribosomes studied in Noller's lab (obtained from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus) are made up of three different RNA molecules and more than 50 different proteins.
The results provide a snapshot of the molecular machine in action. By comparing his images with those obtained by other groups that have caught the ribosome or its subunits in different positions, Noller is finding clues to the molecular motions with which the ribosome does its work.
"Our next goal is to trap the ribosome in other functional states to get more frames of the movie," he said.

Las Cruces >> Gov. Susana Martinez appointed on Monday a member of her own party, Las Crucen Benjamin Rawson, a Republican, to fill a Doña Ana County commission seat vacancy created by a resignation in recent days.
Rawson, general manager of Rawson Inc. Builders Supply, is son of former state Sen. Lee Rawson, R-Las Cruces.
He'll be sworn into office at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the start of the commission's regular meeting, according to a county news release.
With the appointment, Rawson becomes the only Republican -- and the first in several years -- to hold a seat on the commission. Four other members are Democrats.
County Commissioner Leticia Duarte-Benavidez said she doesn't recall having met Benjamin Rawson before, but she looked forward to working with him.
"Hopefully he'll work with us," she said. "We'll have the next year and a half -- I'm hoping he'll turn out to be a really good person to work with."
Rawson, also treasurer of the Las Cruces Home Builders Association and board member on the state home builders group, couldn't be reached for comment Monday afternoon. He replaces Democratic County Commissioner Karen Perez, who resigned to take a full-time engineering job in El Paso. Perez had said her family's financial considerations prompted her to resign the seat.
Russell Allen, first vice chairman for the county Republican party, said he was aware Monday that Rawson had been appointed. Though Rawson is relatively young, possibly in his early 30s, he's "uniquely qualified from both the business world and the political world" to hold the seat, Allen said. That's because Rawson has helped with his father's campaigns, done some analyst work during the state legislative sessions and once did a political internship with a governor in another state, Allen said.
"And he has a good bearing on business and the construction world," Allen said. "You don't grow unless you're building stuff."
Martinez's office couldn't be reached for comment about the appointment Monday afternoon.
Rawson will hold the position at least through December 2014, when the term was set to expire. An election next year will decide the next seat holder.
Martinez was free to appoint a member of any political party to the seat, but the person had to live within the commission District 3 region, located in southeast Las Cruces and surrounding unincorporated areas.
Interim County Manager Sue Padilla said late Monday afternoon she'd not yet been notified about the appointment and hadn't met Rawson or been in contact with him.
"We look forward to working with him," she said.
Padilla said Rawson, upon taking the oath of office, will "just assume Commissioner Perez's duties."
Allen said Rawson is likely to have a "different perspective" from the rest of the commission. "I hope the four other commissioners will have an open mind to hear what I suspect are going to be some opposing solutions," he said. "I hope we can get the county moving -- more than it already is."
Rawson Inc. Builders Supply, a company that specializes in the manufacture, distributing and installation of doors, windows and other products, according to the governor's office.
Martinez's office described Rawson as a "fourth generation native of Dona Ana County," where he lives with his wife and three children.
Rawson holds a master's degree in business administration from New Mexico State University and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Thomas Edison State College.
The swearing-in is slated to be administered by Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins, a news release stated. It will take place at the county headquarters, 845 N. Motel Blvd., Las Cruces.
A Republican last was a member of the Doña Ana County commission in 2008, when former County Commissioner Kent Evans left office. Evans, who died in 2012, left office because he was term-limited after an eight-year stint on the board. Another former Republican County Commissioner was Paul Curry, a home builder, who left office in 2006. He'd been appointed to the District 3 commission seat in 2001 by then-Gov. Gary Johnson and later won election to a four-year term. Curry opted not to seek election to a second term.
Since Curry and Evans, the five-member board has been dominated by Democrats.

I have a generic question about javascript specification or implementation of functions pointer (delegates?) which are points to object methods.
Please, read the following code snippet. Here we have an object with a method using 'this' to access an object field. When we call this method as usual (
o.method();), returns value of the specified field of the object. But when we create pointer to this method (callback) and invoke it, returns an undefined value, because 'this' inside method's scope now is global object.
var o = {
field : 'value',
method : function() {
return this.field;
o.method(); // returns 'value'
var callback = o.method;
callback(); // returns 'undefined' cause 'this' is global object
So, where is my 'this'?

So for George last week Pet & CT are NED. However, Dr. swiched him from irinotecan & Xeloda to Vectibix and CEA went from 2.4 to 4.3. Dr. says dont worry but we worry. If in two weeks his CEA has anymore rise seems to me he should be back on Irinotecan. And how about Xeloda anyone just take that alone???
Mar 12, 2013 - 7:23 pm
Xeloda is 5FU in pill form .. it can be taken with almost any of the drugs we take for CRC.
I am taking Vectibix only at this time and I have been stable so stay positive .. I don't worry till the dr worries..
Mar 12, 2013 - 7:26 pm
Thanks. I am glad to hear you are also taking it and it is working fo you, I am hoping he can stay on it. I think I remember your CEA is zero. Well we will see in two weeks.
Mar 12, 2013 - 10:13 pm
I never took Xeloda alone, I had it as my first three chemos, then as maintenance with Avastin, then just Avastin alone when I could no longer afford the Xeloda.

Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperxTomBHDx Jun 21, 2013 12:06 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
Can't work out if you are trolling, or being serious. God help us if you are being serious.
1. PHD and Jugg where both on the same map in Acension, CotD, Shangri-La and Moon and they didn't make it that much easier.
2. Of course lack of ammo is the thing that will probably stop you, as it does most games.
3. Quick Revive and Tombstone don't exclude themselves, they are on the same map in TranZit and Town. The reason Tombstone wasn't in Die Rise was because of Who's Who and in MotD because of afterlife mode.
4. It won't make it so easy, just look at BLOPS maps.
I came to the conclusion that you are wrong.
PS: Check your spelling and grammar before you post.
Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperMr_SNAP Jun 21, 2013 12:22 AM (in response to xTomBHDx)
My grammar isnt so good but it isnt so bad too you get the point of my sentence so you are trolling my post are you a teacher or what English is not my mature language youre propably is. Youre 1 point are you serious with Jug and Phd it wasnt so easie maybay for you. My point with Tombstone and Quickreviev was wrong i admit it i forget that quickreviev is something else on solo and on more players but saying that with Phd and Jug game wont be easier makes you terrible noob
Re: Why there wont be PHD Floppershadowwalker831 Jun 21, 2013 5:28 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
He's not trolling, he's obviously got a point. The maps on these games so far have had certain challenges to them that they don't want you to just mustang sally out of. I'm pretty sure the reason they took PHD out was because every map every game on Bo1 if you knew what you were doing, you would run M&S, so it was like a set strategy that made the maps and the way you play predictable. I like that they took it out but I think it will probably be back in this next map.
Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperTheSpiderfish Jun 21, 2013 6:02 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
He's not a noob. Jug and PhD don't even have the same effect. It doesn't make it that much easier. You can still get cornered with both perks, which is one of the main times that people (or at least me) go down. Are you suggesting that the map is easier because the perks are slightly similar? Because in that case wouldn't Speed Cola and Stamin-Up supposedly make you 'untouchable'. Or maybe Quick Revive and Tombstone stop you from ever dying? Because if you think that then you're wrong.
Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperSparkleNova Jun 21, 2013 6:23 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
i hope to dear god that english is not your first laungauge because if it is.... i dont want to live on this planet anymore

shangrila had flopper but it was hard
Re: Why there wont be PHD Flopperrjowner_playstation Jun 21, 2013 1:05 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
half the maps on bo 1 had flopper....
Re: Why there wont be PHD Floppererikas420 Jun 21, 2013 1:22 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
He probably never played Black Ops. The way juggernog + phd flopper worked on Shangri-la was the best I think. Ascension was just too easy.
Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperMF_MaxiMillion Jun 21, 2013 6:04 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
Shangri-La had PHD Flopper and it was still difficult to get to higher rounds. In other words, it depends on the map whether combinations like a WW gun and PHD flopper is really overpowered or not.
Like in Ascension. That crap got boring because it gets way too easy later on. Buried doesn't seem to have a lot of open space, though
Re: Why there wont be PHD FlopperFleshhead Jun 21, 2013 6:41 AM (in response to Mr_SNAP)
You spelled so much wrong. Sorry to point that out.

In a way, his first film, the experimental documentary Apparition of the Eternal Church (2006), did for Paul Festa what years of classical musical training and fiction writing never yet had: it put him squarely before the eyes and ears of the world as a serious artist. Ironically, he'd never trained as a filmmaker. He was following a musical muse, to be sure, but down an unfamiliar path.
Asking how we listen — why we listen — to music, Apparition gathered an eclectic assortment of interview-subjects (friends, drag queens, his Juilliard mentor Albert Fuller, even his old college prof, renowned critic-scholar Harold Bloom), had them strap on headphones, and then describe their reactions to Olivier Messiaen's Apparition de l'église éternelle, the composer's unrelentingly intense 1932 piece for organ. It was a simple notion that produced complex, and completely absorbing, results.

This iris bloomed the first year I had it in my garden, producing the darkest, most velvety, most alluring of the blacks I have so far, and I have quite a few. This may be my favorite black. Whereas, All Night Long is beautifully waxy, this one is beautifully velvety. Both are stunning.

I mean this with all seriousness... RunWithASmile, why are you on this forum?
As a side note, someone needs to patent a sarcasm font.
"And why are you still replying if you think its getting old!"
This was my first time mentioning your constant poor-me-I'm-such-a-victim blather. I was hoping you'd get the message to stop whining but apparently not.
Get over the jealousy thing, you're really not that good.
-----------------------------------------Testing, testing....123. This thing still work?
The hard part is learning to graciously accept the adulation of the less gifted without reminding the rest of us of how much we want to be just like you.
So it IS a jealousy thing?
Yup, I definitely want to be 19 again and this time be blonde.
50-54: HM - 1:21:44 (11/15) 10K - 37:55 (9/15) 2015 Goal - MM or bust
Matt, don't do that, she doesn't understand humor and will now attempt to explain how yes, when she's bad she's better than all of us and we should be jealous.
And also, who wants to lay bets that my "you're not that good" remark will get the listing of races and results again? I'm pretty sure that's coming...
Lol Matt, I hope you have a muzzle at home.
PR's: 5K - 17:16, 10K - 37:06 (HM Split), HM - 1:18:14, M - 2:55:58
2015 Goals: Sub 35 10k, Sub 2:50 marathon
One other thing that needs correcting in your post, Runswithawhine: Age-grading is not "biased" in the least, it's based on World Records. Your 66% is average for a local level, not even Regional Class. So...not so great. When you can get to National Class numbers, then you start preening.
Fixed it.
So much jealousy in this thread! And words! So many words!
I'm so jealous of how well you made your point in just 11 words and 3 exclamation marks. I write and I write and I write but then you come out and just...poof! A sentence. I'll never be as good as you, Matt. ::sniff::
Too much emphasis on the long sentences.
I love this thread! Keep it going!
You can't measure potential.....well, what I would say is that some day you will learn that people are given certain gifts and talents in life. Someone might be good at singing or throwing a football or physics or running. Who cares. It is really what you make of it. You will learn that the most successful people in life are those who understand how to work hard to achieve what they want - whether it is their natural talent or not. The losers don't know how to work for anything.
Do you have a faster marathon time than me? Yes. But you are 19!! Your time isn't that great and I'm not that far off even though I'm almost 20 years older than you. I ran a faster half than you did in your first try with not a whole lot of running. There are a ton of people much older than you here that are faster than you. It doesn't matter how you get there, it is what you are willing to achieve. Some people know how to achieve - how to attain goals that seem out of reach to others - and others only know how to work with what is handed to them. I see it everyday in the workplace. I see people like you. We fire them.
Run one day a week, run two, no one cares, but don't act like you know everything. Hopefully your future self will look back and laugh loudly at your 19 year old self.
What are you saying? That 19 years old don't know everything already? Oh... You MUST be jealous! And you are all really OLD, you jealous people...
I see it everyday in the workplace. I see people like you. We fire them.
coming up next: nada!

This is just the best. Well done renrun.
Now that said, I think we might be missing a hidden talent. She hijacked the thread from the barefoot wanker, and parlayed it into a serious offer from Mr. MattM. She's got something there.
Because I like to run...duh
Lol no, Im not that good..im just ok. Plus - I am certainly not jealous of your profile picture
Thank you - No no of course I don't - I wouldn't even call what I do 'training,' everyone says to me 'imagine what you could do if you train' and heck I've been told it enough on here I had a coach once, lasted about 2 months then he went ape at me for not turning up, I had an assignment to do.... I was 13. I refused to go anymore and then he said "if I knew you went to (my school) I would never have trained you" My friends who are coached get abused, end up in tears after a bad race and go in a huff whereas I get praised by mum and my place or time does not disappoint me. I don't have to impress anyone and I don't want to. This is why I don't follow a training schedule or get a coach.
And why the heck do I even want to go to the Olympics!?!?! Weirdo
Neither I seem to write heaps also :/
I don't want to be the fastest here you freak! My only point I try to make is I can run a perfectly good marathon and feel good about it on minimal training
5k - 19:48 (2013) 10k - 39:07 (2013) 21.1k - 1:27.40 (2012) 42.2k - 3:26.14 (2013)

Too funny! My dear RunsWithaWhine, I'm at National Class with my half PR. I wasn't aware it was synonymous with the Olympics, but you have so much to teach me. Anyway, didn't mean to make you jealous (which you must be by your reasoning), but I do hope it gives you some perspective about this audience.
+1 to Rerun, excellent post.
ETA: "you freak" "weirdo" and resorting to comments on avatars. Are you sure you're 19? Sounds like you're 12 with the name calling.
Indeed. My little RunWithaSmile has more talent in her little toe than the lot of you, combined!
Everytime I see that name, RunWithaSmile I think of the movie Dances With Wolves... Stands With a Fist...
Speaking of little toes, where's Barefoot Gentile? On his way to New Zealand?

When I was young I knew everything.
Matt, I am pretty sure SmiledAfterSheFinishedRunning still knew much more when she was much younger than you. Without even knowing about it.
Matt, I am pretty sure SmiledAfterSheFinishedRunning still knew much more when she was much younger than you. Without even training.
What this whole pissing contest thread reminds me of, a bit, is that guy Tigers84 (I might have the numbers wrong) who was SO PROUD of making his 3:45 goal....except that his shorter distance times pointed to something like a 3:15 (I am making things up, a little, because this was all on the old, lost site) and so I told him I was not going to tell him "good job" because it WASN'T. Running a faster-than-most time is good, but if your shorter-distance times point to something much better, you're coasting on your talent, not actually doing anything notably "good".
And he got so angry at me, and the others who commented that he hadn't done much! But then he got thoughtful, and he started training more seriously, and he started racking up the REALLY good finish times - by any measure - and the last I heard from a mutual friend his PR is 2:50:xx.
Some people can run 4:00/3:30/2:59 on minimal training; some have to run 50/70/110 mpw to get it. I ran a 4:07 on about 17mpw, and sub-4 on about 35mpw, but I'm not going to tell someone running 50mpw and managing a 4:15 that maybe if she just ran less she'd get that sub-4, because after all, I did it.
The whole 'less is more' thing baffles me. It seems to me that if someone actually likes running, they would, you know, want to run.

and hey ilanarama, dont be jealous. it took me only 3s to do that and i didn't even trained for it. i hate typing on the internet. yet i am really good at it. i am fixing posts at national level now.
You can't measure potential? And here I am my whole life listening to people tell me I have none. I wish I had known... I would have told them they don't know what they're talking about.
Don't worry.
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz is currently working on a Measuring Potentialinator.
And my apologies to all the parents who won't be able to get that phrase (complete with accent) out of their heads for the rest of the day.
Happy Friday, everyone.
So you've got natural talent, great. But I bet if you trained with conventional capitalization you'd be one of the top post-fixers in your age group!
Apostrophes wouldn't hurt either. Or should I say apostrophe's wouldnt hurt either. Or is it apostrophies?

i am too lazy for the post-fixing olympics. bleh meh whatever [optional smiley face smiley face smiley face]
and besides, capitalization conventions are for creeps, weirdos and freaks
Well those people who tell you you have none are just stupid, that's a nasty thing to say, don't listen!
Totally. Although 18 is the longest run that this still remains "enjoyable" - 15 clears out the cobwebs, 12 - 13 is a great workout, and 18 feels like an overhaul, mostly enjoyable
Running, Yoga, New York, Balance: www.miriamlamey.wordpress.com
I personally spend more time on mental preparation for a half than physical. I have to run more than 13.1 at least once before the race. My long runs prepare me for the drudgery of a half. At about 9 miles, I have to really get my head in the run or I screw up my time, so I run a lot of runs over that length.
Every person is different and you have to find what is right for you.
Nice, I like this! Good way breaking it down, I feel the same.
Glad to hear it. I think by 20 it starts to become a push, mentally and physically, but 18 still leaves me like a human being. Not that I really do 18-milers much when not training (working full time + wanting to enjoy my weekend + the sheer cost of food) but it still hits that point only long-distance runners understand and appreciate...

Responsive design, which allows designers and developers to build websites that adapt to every screen size, is one of the most empowering web tools to be adopted in the last decade.
But adapting to the screen is only the first frontier of a new, responsive web. Today, users expect online experiences that not only respond to what device they're using, but also their location, time of day, what they've already read, and events happening in real time. To capture a user's attention for the next generation of the web, you'll need more than just responsive design. You'll need a responsive philosophy. What Print Newspapers Get Right When you look at the print version of any major print publication over time, you realize that they don't just have a couple of templates. Somehow, we've lost that ability on the web. These limitations aren't just stifling for readers. Websites should do more than respond to devices. Patterns of Card UI Design. Card-based User Interface (Card UI) is the new hotness.
Recent announcements from Google around the unification of their user interfaces across mobile and web using Material Design show that that the big players are firmly behind this new UI trend. It seems like when you are more than 50 million users, e.g. Android L Material Design And User Interface Changes. What Is a Card? Even as the notion of cards as the next big software interaction paradigm continues to gain momentum, it hasn't gotten much easier to explain to the uninitiated what, exactly, a card is.
When asked this question, I find it hard not to ramble on at great length, and even harder to avoid using technical jargon, which usually produces diminishing returns in conversations with "normal people." So I thought I would try to unpack this idea a little bit, as simply and briefly as I can. No guarantees, though. To begin, when we talk about cards in digital products, it's important to understand that there are actually two, interrelated concepts at work that some people conflate as one. I'll use some grossly simplified language to label them as cards as presentation and cards as third-party content. Cards as Presentation. The Uncanny UX Valley. Users do not give genuine feedback unless they believe what they're experiencing is genuine.

Will Hogoboom - CFO
Chuck Stankiewicz - COO
Barry Kitt – Pinnacle Funds
» Smith & Wesson Holding's CEO Discusses F1Q13 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
» Chart Industries' CEO Presents at Barclays CEO Energy-Power Conference (Transcript)
It is now pleasure to turn the call over to Mr. Eric Apfelbach, please go ahead sir.
Eric Apfelbach
Thank you. Good morning everyone and welcome to our quarterly conference call. This is Eric Apfelbach, President and CEO of ZBB Energy Corporation. I will be joined today by Will Hogoboom, our CFO, and Chuck Stankiewicz, our COO. First, Will review the financials and then I'll give you a brief update on our status of our global strategy, our operating activities, and close with an overview of our businesses development activities. Chuck is attending today and will answer questions during the Q&A period on all of the operating and engineering activities. Will?
Will Hogoboom
Okay, thank you Eric and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us today for ZBB's conference call for the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 including this discussion of our financial results.
ZBB energy's press release containing fourth quarter results was sent out by market wire yesterday September 6 after the market closed. The press release and that should be found our website at zbbenergy.com. I would like to call your attention to the following Safe Harbor statements.
Certain statements made in this conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and section 21e of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended that are intended to be covered by the "safe harbor" created by those section. Forward-looking statements which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations can generally be identified by the use of forward looking terms such believe, expect, may, will, should, could, seek, intend, plan, estimate , anticipate, or other comparable terms.
Forward-looking statements in this conference call may address the following subjects among others. Statement regarding the sufficiency of our capital resources, expected operating losses, expected revenues, expected expenses and our expectations concerning our business strategy.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause the results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including those risks and uncertainties described in the risk factors and the management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of the operation sections of our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and as such our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
We urge you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution participants in this conference call not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein or elsewhere to reflect any change in our expectations with regard there to or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Now I will walk through the details of our financial results for the fourth quarter and the year. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.1 million which was down 21% from the same period a year ago. It is important to note that with the commercialization of our new ZBB EnerSystems products the company's model is transitioning and product sales will continue to grow as a percentage of overall revenue.
As such, during the fourth quarter we saw a 29% increase in product sales from the same period a year ago while engineering services declined 68%. Engineering services will continue to be an important part of our business going forward, but the lumpy nature of this business may make comparisons more difficult as was the case during the fourth quarter.
Revenue for the year was $4.8 million representing a 167% increase from fiscal 2011. Also for the year, product revenue increased 145% and engineering services increased 189%. Total costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased approximately $2.1 million which was primarily due to the following factors.
Cost of product sales in the fourth quarter increased $704,000. This increase was partially due to our yearend recalculation of the manufacturing overhead rate and inventory costing which was also applied to cost of product sales for the first three quarters. As such the reported cost of product sales in the fourth quarter includes approximately $149,000 of yearend adjustments that do not relate to fourth quarter product shipments.
The actual cost of product sales for fourth quarter shipments was approximately $822,000. These costs are higher than the planned ongoing costs due to start up production costs, higher initial material costs for low volume purchases and the initial low production volume. Advanced engineering and development expenses increased $1.5 million due to the company's engineering and development activities for our ZBB EnerStore and ZBB EnerSection systems which included preproduction development and pilot plant operations, prototype production and ETL testing in the June 2012 quarter.
SG&A expenses increased $347,000 due to planned increases in sales, marketing and administrative personnel which resulted in an increase in salaries and related expense of $241,000 and the increase in stock-based compensation expense of $386,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in several other expense category. Total cost and expenses for the twelve months ended June 30 2012 and 2011 were $7.3 million and $10.6 million respectively. This increase of $6.7 million was primarily due to the following.

See that? It's an HTC One, programmed for use on Verizon's airwaves, and it's blue. Moreover, it's at Best Buy, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to pick one up yourself as early as tonight. If you'll recall, we had heard that Sprint was aiming to ship the aforesaid device on September 10th, but according to our tipster, these are hitting backrooms as we speak. Full retail is pegged at $699.99, but you can bet that a variety of contractual options will be available, too.
Update: Another stellar tipster has provided us with a photo of the phone's front, which you'll find after the break. Additionally, we're told that the back of the blue HTC One is one full piece of metal, with painted accent stripes. Maybe you'll head to a Verizon store this weekend and check it out for yourself.

I have been hearing so much about BB creams and how nice they are so I decided to give this Maybelline one a try! First off I am pretty sure that Maybelline has only released this BB cream here in India for whatever reason. Anyway, one really nice thing is the price- I was prepared to pay quite a bit, but this cream only cost 200 INR (about $3 US!) So that was lovely (although the tube is rather small.) As for the actual product itself- I am having rather mixed feelings and results. I love the texture, it is smooth and blends easily and feels very lovely on the skin. It definitely lives up to its claim that it moisturises and softens one's skin! As for the look of it, I am rather disappointed with the shade selection. I got Nude which was the darkest shade and it was a bit light for my NC42 skin. Its texture/finish is nice and brightens skin nicely but (as I expected) there is very very little coverage. I wore it underneath foundation, as a sort of corrector/highlighter, instead of as foundation itself because I prefer heavier coverage. It is a little runny in hot humid climates, the staying power could definitely be improved. Overall, since it is not really my type of face makeup I would probably not buy this again. But it does have its place, and for a woman who only wants a bit of a glow and doesn't need much coverage or staying power it would be very nice.

2010 Ford Fusion Problems
The automatic transmission may develop shifting concerns. On lower mileage vehicles, upgrading the software in the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) may correct the problem. As the mileage increases, internal transmission damage can occur. Repairs could involve replacement of the valve body or a complete transmission rebuild. Whenever major transmission repairs are made, it is important to be sure the PCM and the TCM have the latest software updates to help prevent these issues from reoccurring.
Squeaks and creaks heard while driving over bumps and turning can be caused be a couple common sources and should be carefully diagnosed. Possible weld issues on the lower control arms can cause the noise concerns and require repair kits for the lower control arms from Ford. A jounce bumper (bump stop) rubbing against dry strut plate can cause an abrasion noise from the strut area. In this case the strut assembly should be disassembled to lubricate the jounce bumper and then reinstalled.
If the transmission oil leaks out of left side half shaft area, it may be from a worn axle shaft seal. The seal can be damaged by a poor surface finish on the axle shaft. The axle shaft and seal should be replaced to correct the problem.
2010 Ford Fusion Questions

2010 Ford Fusion Recalls
Ford accessory floor mats may interfere with accelerator pedal operation. Dealers will install replacement mats, free of charge to resolve the concern.
On vehicles equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, one or more wheel studs may break. If this were to occur, a vibration could develop and the wheel could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. To correct this concern, dealers will inspect the rear brake discs and replace them as necessary. Additionally, the wheel lug nuts will be replaced on all four wheels. The Ford recall number is 11S23.
The park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed in nineteen vehicles. These vehicles may not properly engage the transmission in the "Park" position. If this occurs and the parking brake is not set, unintended vehicle movement may result, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is expected to begin by May 28, 2010. The Ford recall number is 10C12.

A quick look at the NFL's two unbeaten teams heading into Week 12:
This Week: at Dallas Cowboys (3-7), 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday
Carolina Will Win If: Cam Newton passes as well as he did last week, when he threw for a career-high five TDs — to five receivers.
Carolina Will Lose If: Tony Romo and Dez Bryant get on a roll. Remember: Dallas is unbeaten, too ... when Romo plays, going 3-0 in his appearances.
Noteworthy: First team in the half-century Super Bowl era to start 10-0 after being below .500 the season before (7-8-1).

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Abused Deaf Womens Advocacy Services, Seattle, WA, USA
I have learned of ADWAS in 1996 when the Executive Director came to NAD Youth Leadership Camp to present about their services, and I was impressed by how much they've done with limited funds and resources. After I moved to Seattle in 2003, I had gotten myself involved as a board member (briefly) as well as a donor and as an associate board member. What continues to amaze me is the PASSION by the board, staff and most especially the community. It was the community that truly believed in ADWAS mission, integrity and trust that they invested their energy in raising funds for a new building / home of its own. And ADWAS is often looked upon as a role model across the nation as with replicating its programs and services. ADWAS and its sister organizations are unique in its own regard for the specialized service that is often absent in the deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind communities, including breaking through barriers and building relationships.

Re: Continuum the new tv series!
I watched both borderline bad episodes. Can anyone explain what the superbad terrorists are back in time to do? Because it looks like they came back with a plan to change the future, and that plan is basically go back to the future while blowing up a power plant. When that didn't work, they blow up a super-collider. My favorite part was the need to go to the professor's wife to figure out that the terrorists wanted him for access to the big power machine. What the hell else would they want him for? To order orange frappacinos, since "orange" is extinct in 2077?
I want to be sedated.

Iraq Blame Game Points At Ideology
I'm going to ask all of you to do something right now, and I'm asking quite sincerely.
All you have to do is read this entire piece:
After the fall of Saddam Hussein's government in April 2003, the opportunity to participate in the U.S.-led effort to reconstruct Iraq attracted all manner of Americans — restless professionals, Arabic-speaking academics, development specialists and war-zone adventurers. But before they could go to Baghdad, they had to get past Jim O'Beirne's office in the Pentagon.
To pass muster with O'Beirne, a political appointee who screens prospective political appointees for Defense Department posts, applicants didn't need to be experts in the Middle East or in post-conflict reconstruction. What seemed most important was loyalty to the Bush administration.
O'Beirne's staff posed blunt questions to some candidates about domestic politics: Did you vote for George W. Bush in 2000? Do you support the way the president is fighting the war on terror? Two people who sought jobs with the U.S. occupation authority said they were even asked their views on Roe v. Wade .
Many of those chosen by O'Beirne's office to work for the Coalition Provisional Authority, which ran Iraq's government from April 2003 to June 2004, lacked vital skills and experience. A 24-year-old who had never worked in finance — but had applied for a White House job — was sent to reopen Baghdad's stock exchange. The daughter of a prominent neoconservative commentator and a recent graduate from an evangelical university for home-schooled children were tapped to manage Iraq's $13 billion budget, even though they didn't have a background in accounting.
These are the people who get to run our country? These are the stewards of our Democracy? Jeezus…I am so thoroughly ashamed at how disgustingly uncaring these hacks are, and how much disdain they have for the Iraqi people. And do know that they simply do not care about the Iraqi people. There's no other explanation for why somebody would jeopardize success in the war over something as crudely base as ideology. Roe v. Wade? Are you kidding me?
This part about the priorities of those who were trying to rebuild the health care in Iraq are even more infuriating…especially the part about taking away Iraqis free health care. Yes, you read that right. It seems that James K. Haveman Jr. didn't like the fact that Iraqis didn't pay for their health care…so he simply took it away.
Apparently, being a good Christian means being a good Capitalist…
Haveman arrived in Iraq with his own priorities. He liked to talk about the number of hospitals that had reopened since the war and the pay raises that had been given to doctors instead of the still-decrepit conditions inside the hospitals or the fact that many physicians were leaving for safer, better paying jobs outside Iraq. He approached problems the way a health care administrator in America would: He focused on preventive measures to reduce the need for hospital treatment.
He urged the Health Ministry to mount an anti-smoking campaign, and he assigned an American from the CPA team — who turned out to be a closet smoker himself — to lead the public education effort. Several members of Haveman's staff noted wryly that Iraqis faced far greater dangers in their daily lives than tobacco. The CPA's limited resources, they argued, would be better used raising awareness about how to prevent childhood diarrhea and other fatal maladies.
Haveman didn't like the idea that medical care in Iraq was free. He figured Iraqis should pay a small fee every time they saw a doctor. He also decided to allocate almost all of the Health Ministry's $793 million share of U.S. reconstruction funds to renovating maternity hospitals and building new community medical clinics. His intention, he said, was "to shift the mind-set of the Iraqis that you don't get health care unless you go to a hospital."
But his decision meant there were no reconstruction funds set aside to rehabilitate the emergency rooms and operating theaters at Iraqi hospitals, even though injuries from insurgent attacks were the country's single largest public health challenge.
Again, the article is long, but if you don't read the whole thing, you're really doing yourself a disservice.
So ashamed…so fucking ashamed…

Gearbox Software announced yesterday that another round of hot fixes has been sent out for their popular co-op shooter, "Borderlands 2." The temporary game update will automatically apply the next time users start up the game while connected to the internet. Among other issues, the power of Seraph Gear from the game's first two campaign DLC add-ons, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty and Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, have now been re-balanced and players will find the specialty gear to be more powerful. Considering the only way to acquire this gear is to defeat "Borderlands 2's" toughest enemies, it seems fair that gamers are rewarded for tackling the DLC raid bosses.
The hot fix will automatically apply the next time "Borderlands 2" owners start up the game while connected to the internet. The game update is available immediately and provides temporary relieve from game issues until a full patch can be deployed. The changes made by hot fixes will only take effect while playing with a constant internet connection.
"Borderlands 2" is out now on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. The game's first three campaign DLC add-ons are also now available for download.

How to Tell Your Parents that You're Depressed
Many young people suffer from depression and many people struggle to gather the bravery required to tell their parent's or simply don't know how to go about it.
1Consider whether you're truly depressed. Depression can manifest in different ways: lethargy, indecisiveness, hopelessness, and more. Clinical depression is usually identified as lasting at least 2 weeks, but shorter episodes of depression spanning considerable time are also a danger. When in doubt, say something.Ad
2Plan what to say and when to say it. You'll want to pick a quiet place, when your parents are not too busy. You may want to talk to both at once, or tell one first and have them help you tell the other parent. Here are some examples of questions your parents may ask:
- Are you going to hurt or kill yourself?
- How long have you felt this way?
- Did we cause it? (Say no. You can bring up any specific problems when they are calmer.)
- How can we help you feel better?
3Try to calm yourself down with deep breathing, meditation or some alone time before deciding what to do as this scary situation can get worse if you act upon impulse.
4Accept that this will be a difficult conversation. You may cry. Your parents may cry. This is okay. Depression is a difficult subject, and you are doing the right thing by addressing it quickly before it gets worse. Your parents are going to be affected sooner or later, and this is not your fault. You are doing well by choosing to tell them in a way you control, rather than waiting for them to find out during some big disaster.
5Consider writing a letter or note if you have a hard time finding words. This is an okay way to communicate feelings that are difficult. Explain that it's easier to find the words on paper, write about how you've been feeling, and at the end ask for a doctor's appointment.
- You may also choose to ask a school guidance counselor or psychologist to call your parents and tell them. They can break the news, and then hand over the phone when you and your parents are ready.
6Recognize that your parents may react badly at first. This is big news. They may respond with disbelief, self-blame, anger, fear, et cetera. This is their first reaction, not their eternal reaction, so do your best to stay calm. Allow them some time to figure out how they truly feel, and then they will show it to you.
- Reassure them that you love them and it's not their fault.
- Plan to do something comforting after you tell them so any knee-jerk reactions don't upset you too badly.
- Remember that this is not your fault. You did the right thing, and this is the best way for them to find out.
7Ask for a doctor's appointment. Depression is a chemical imbalance that can happen for no good reason. A doctor can help you figure out what to do from here, and can refer you to people who can help.Ad
