Zoe never comes back for her. She's with her parents now. There are rumors in New Cap City that she's even managed to become human again.
Tamara thinks of her father and the brother that she can never go back to, while Zoe sits in the Graystone home, and chokes back a sob.
The whole Avenging Angels thing was a joke, just a distraction from their trapped existence in this virtual hell. The same way that the residents of New Cap City came to get away from the real world.
Tamara Adama sheds the elaborate costume she had made while she was with Zoe for a pair of plain, everyday clothes and decides to wander the virtual world alone.
Tamara is not Zoe. She can never be Zoe. She's a collection of memories and photographs of the original Tamara Adams, while Zoe is a carbon copy of a true scientific genius. Still, she's managed to master a few of Zoe's tricks over the years. She may not be able to enter the real world in the way Zoe can, but she can sneak a peak.
Of course, she looks for her father. She might have listened to that woman's advice and led her father to believe her dead, but she still wants to know that Dad and Willie are alive and happy.
Instead, she finds Willie dead. Her father has remarried and a new William Adama stands in her brother's place. A blue-eyed boy they call Bill.
Tamara holes herself up in a single room in V world and cries.
Years pass, Tamara still looks sixteen, but she's decades old. No one comes to V world anymore, not since the Cylons began to rebel. This is where Zoe came from, the so-called leader of the revolt, and no one wants to go to the place where "evil" evolved. Others say that Zoe is the rebellion itself, that each Cylon is a piece of her consciousness.
Tamara watches her blue-eyed brother grow into a man. Against their father's wishes, he enlists in the war, becomes a fighter pilot. Tamara's not sure if she feels worried or proud.
Tamara's sitting by a virtual lakeside when it happens for the first time. She puts her hand up against her forehead to shield her holographic body from the burning sun, only her hand isn't there...at least not quite. It's flickering, along with her entire body. It only lasts for a couple seconds, but somehow Tamara knows it won't be the last time. After all these years, Daniel Graystone's experiment is beginning to unravel. Tamara Adama is dying.
She can no longer hop from place to place in the virtual world like she used to. The last time she tried, she disappeared for a full day. Confined to the ruins of New Caprica City, Tamara sits and awaits her end.
That's when she hears the music, the haunting melody of an acoustic guitar. She follows the sound along the streets and narrow alleys of the abandoned game world, wondering would kind of person would bother visiting this place and how they could have found it to begin with.
She finally finds the source of the noise in an abandoned tavern. Outside, a man sits strumming on his guitar, the source of the music. He stops and meets Tamara's gaze with a smile.
The man is gorgeous, the kind that would have left young, adolescent, Tamara's heart thrumming like a star cruiser's engines. He's dark-haired and muscular, with magnetic blue eyes.
"Hello, Tamara," he saids with a smile.
A blonde, middle-aged women comes out of the tavern. She's wearing a tight dress and sipping a drink. "Ah, Sam you finally found her! We've been looking for you, Tamara."
Tamara slowly backs away from the two strangers. "Who are you people? What do you want from me?"
The man sets his guitar down and walks towards Tamara, extending his hand in a gesture of friendship. "We're artificial creatures, just like you and, believe it or not, Ellen and I are here to help you."
Tamara considers running in the opposite direction, before a wave of pain signals that she's flickering again. She gives no protest as Sam takes her hand and guides her trembling body back into the tavern. By the time she's taken a seat, the flickering has stopped and she's back to normal.
Ellen slides a drink in front of her. "I'd normally say you're much too young for alcohol, but Galen and Sam have told me you're older than you look."
Tamara gives Ellen a hard stare. "And how do I know you're not a couple of kids using their parents' avatars? It goes both ways"
Ellen tilts her head and laughs. "Dear child, I'm actually 4003, but you can assume whatever you like.
Tamara cracks a genuine smile for the first time in decades. She may not trust these strange people, but if they hang around long enough, she might not have to die alone.
"I'm afraid we're going to have to cut the pleasantries short, Tamara," Ellen continues.
Sam cuts in. "Your matrix is destabilizing rapidly, you're not going to last more than a day or two without our help."
"And why do you want to help me?" Tamara asks.
"Because you're special, child, more special than you realize. Just like your sister Zoe was," Ellen replies smoothly.
Tamara wants to snap back angrily, saying that Zoe was no sister of hers, or even a true friend, but something in the woman's eyes stops her.
"I'm giving you two choices, Tamara. My friend Galen has a simple way of deleting your program so you'll go quickly and painlessly. However, if you want to live, to go on, my friends and I can bring you into a world you've never dreamed of."
Tamara listens to Ellen's proposition in silence before she makes her decision.
They call the Eights the most human of the Cylons, though no one seems to know why. The Eight known as Boomer isn't supposed to know she's a Cylon in the first place, though her recent mission to the Basestar has finally showed her the truth.
She's standing next to her friend, Racetrack, about to receive a medal from the Commander himself, when her Cylon programming finally kicks in. Boomer is looking straight at her target as she reaches for her gun.
As Sharon looks into Bill Adama's blue eyes, the world fades away and a strange memory resurfaces, one that belongs neither to Eight or Sharon. An image of a young boy with bright blue eyes flashes through her mind and, for a moment, she remembers who she was before One had wiped her memories and suffocated her "parents." "No!" she whispers, in her mind. "Not him, how could he? Please John, anyone but him!"
But it's too late. Half a second later and the memory's gone. Sharon pulls the trigger and fires.

Due to lack of capital and time we are having to do our game in 2D even though me (the developer) would prefer if it was done in 3D. I would hate for users to join the game, only to think the graphics look bad and leave. Though I suppose we just have to try and do our best.
That being said, I would like to develop the game in such a way that, should the time come, we can port to 3D as easily as possible. I know of games that had to rewrite the entire thing from scratch. I'd hate to do that, so I'd like some tips / guidelines to use when programming the game so that, when we move to 3D, it will be as simple as changing the code of 1-5 graphics rendering classes (or close) and the 3D graphics would run.
P.S It is a multiplayer roleplaying game (Not an MMORPG, much smaller in scope for now)

Got 2 chicks coming in today for some ambush threeway action. They just don't know about it yet. Still no new office yet but the opportunity was too good to pass up. Quiet Sydney isn't too happy when tattooed tornado Brittania walks in and steals the show. I can practically see the dollar signs in Brittania's eyes. She's is all about some first time lezzie action for the cameras. Found Sydney on that compensated dating site so she's game, too. Money, brothers. It's everything. I get 'em to go do down on each other, make them suck me off and take turns banging them. Brittania is overly eager to please and says she'll do ANYTHING to help with this demo tape. Anything? Why, I do feel like some ass fucking is in order. That'll surely shut her up. She kept talking about it like it's the greatest thing so now it's time to put up or shut up. Preferrably both. Unfortunately she's totally into it and still keeps talking up a storm. Sydney can't get a word in and she's just going through the motion at one point - she knows she can't compete for these jobs with her flamboyant enemy. Truth is, they both lost the game. 'And There Is No Job' is the BRCC tag line for a reason...

Whitner's new name will get some announcer fired
Whitner couldn't change name to 'Hitner' until mom gave approval
Donte Whitner has changed his name to Hitner. Of course he has. Why wouldn't he change his name to Hitner? I mean, Joe Theismann willingly let his last name be re-pronounced. But he surely will get an announcer fired when force of habit causes said broadcaster to substitute an "L" for the "N." It will happen, and it will be one of those Internet sensations you always hear about.
Yeah, "L" for "N." Think about it.
He is also willing to buy back any "Whitner" jerseys to help ease his passage to his new name, as per NFL directives. "Depending," he says, "on how many are out there."
It is not yet certain how many Ohio State Whitner jerseys there are, but a quick tour of the NCAA Store might provide that answer.
The WNBA Finals have been displaced in Atlanta by Disney On Ice. This is not as big a deal as it seems, as teams get locked out of their buildings for circuses and conventions and award shows all the time. But the Atlanta Dream will play Games 4 and 5 against the Minnesota Lynx at the arena in Gwinnett, more than a half-hour away, so we'll see if home court advantage can also be a suburban thing, or whether it's really just about knowing the best place to park at the mall.
Navy will lose an estimated $4 million if its game with Air Force is shut down, Government style. That's the kind of fiscal responsibility that makes people prefer having a petting zoo as a neighbor instead of a Congressman.
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla made $13 million this season, the highest-paid Atlanta player. But he didn't make the postseason roster because he struck out only eight fewer times than his batting average, 171 to .179.
In other words, he got what we locals like to call Zito'd. It will be interesting to see if Fredi Gonzalez is as wistful about Uggla as Bruce Bochy was in a similar situation.
Two new statues of Wayne Gretzky and his family in his hometown of Brantford, Ont., were defaced, which doesn't tell you so much how quickly people forget as much as it does how quickly people who weren't born when you were really famous give a damn about you.
Brantford police say they have video of the incident but have not yet made any arrests. But we know this much – they don't make icons the way they used to. Or maybe Brantford has some secret Calgary Flames fans the chamber of commerce had somehow overlooked.
Yes, Patrick Roy! The new coach of the Colorado Avalanche made new friends right away by trying to get at Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau after Wednesday's 6-1 WIN . . . yes, WIN . . . over the Ducks. He shoved the separator between the two benches after a deliciously profane exchange with Boudreau, and gave every indication that he will be the least hinged coach in the entire league.
Oh, and this was after one entire game. If he's not fined at least once before Christmas, it will mean that Gary Bettman doesn't just take naps at games.
And finally, because a fan isn't a fan any more unless there's a sign involved, there was this one from the Tampa Bay-Cleveland wild card game Tuesday night on TBS:
"T B S: Tampa Bay Sucks."
As it turned out, not enough to do the Indians any good.

Southern-Style Summer Menu
Enjoy a nice, light summer dinner from the South. By: John Kessler
But this attention is real and deserved: Regional heritage, flavors, and ingredients are all being celebrated in the passion for country ham, grits, fried chicken, and chowchow.
Cooking Light's Test Kitchen and editorial offices are in the heart of the South, down in Birmingham, Alabama, where agrarian roots run as deep as any. We wanted this menu to reflect the exciting culinary developments of the new South, characterized by reverence for the past and spiked with lots of inventive ideas. We wanted a menu perfect for cooks with overactive vegetable gardens and healthy mind-sets. The recipes abide by Southern kitchen principles: Keep it simple, get creative in combining native Southern ingredients, and find some use for all that fragrant garden mint that will take over everything if given half a chance.
Fresh squash blossoms are a lovely seasonal treat. Enjoy the contrast of crisp, fresh flowers with rich, creamy cheese spread. Be sure to use the best bacon you can find–brands that smoke with real wood offer the best flavor. And roast your own pepper; jarred versions may taste tinny. Use plain cheddar cheese for a mild flavor, or choose extra-sharp for more tang.

I haven't seen much about this in the forums (I am sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong), but I had upgraded to WordPress 3.0.5, and now my website has disappeared. My login page and all of the internal editing and managing tools are still available, so I thought it was a plugin problem (since I had just upgraded about 8 or 9 other plugins that same day), and on Firefox, I got a blank (no source code either) web page (located at http://sj.foodsci.info).
On IE8, which was a little more informative, it told me I received an "Error 500: Internal Server Error". Nothing actionable though.
Downgrading to 3.0.4 didn't work either.
Any ideas or clues?

December 1, 2015
A convicted child killer from Geneva County is getting another day in court.
The Alabama Supreme Court has upheld an appeals court ruling for Steven Preachers.
The Samson man was convicted in August of 2005 of killing a toddler.
Prosecutors contended 21 month old Angel Whitley died after she was slammed head-first into a dresser because she would not stop crying.
Preachers was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but the appellate courts ruled he deserved a new trial because there was no minority representation on the jury that convicted him.
Preachers is being held without bond in the Geneva County Jail.
A trial date has not been set.

Afriforum takes farm murders to SAHRCComment on this story
Johannesburg - The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) said on Thursday it would look into a complaint by civil rights group Afriforum regarding farm murders.
"The commission acknowledges receipt of Afriforum's complaint and we welcome it," Isaac Mangena said in a statement.
Afriforum's complaint, which was received on Thursday, was against police and Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa for allegedly not providing enough protection for farmers against attacks and murders.
In a statement Afriforum CEO Ernst Roets asked the commission to call a formal public hearing on farm murders.
"Afriforum requested specifically that the commission subpoena
the minister of police to testify before the commission and explain his failure to implement a focused counter-strategy for these types of crimes."
He said farm attacks had become a crisis and that Mthethwa and the police department refused not only to implement a dedicated strategy, but even to acknowledge the crisis existed.
Afriforum added that while it did not seek special treatment for farmers, it believed the police department's failure to prioritise farm attacks constituted gross negligence and, by implication, human rights abuses.
Mangena said the SAHRC would look into it according to the commission's complaints-handling procedure.
"It's worth pointing out that the Afriforum, in its submission, has also requested that the SAHRC exercise its powers under the relevant legislation to initiate a public hearing on the subject."
He said the commission appreciated the suggestion and the SAHRC commissioners would consider the proposal.
"We welcome any efforts that will ensure that right of all citizens, farmers included, are protected and respected." - Sapa

The towel, beak, hat and soap are also fondant. This was sooo much fun to make!!! I also made him a little cupcake with a rubber ducky candle for him to "smash". He ate that plus a piece of cake LOL

Baldwinsville The Baldwinsville Kiwanis Club will hold an open house from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, at the Mohegan Manor in Baldwinsville.
This casual affair will allow residents in Baldwinsville to get to know the organization whose main focus and mission is helping the children in the community. It will also be an opportunity to find out exactly who the Kiwanis are, what the club does, why they do it and most importantly who their efforts benefit.
"You'll get a chance to kick the tires and meet the members who are making a difference in the lives of many," said Mike Samoraj, president of the Baldwinsville Kiwanis. He wittingly added, "Please don't kick the members."
The open house will allow the community to learn about the Kiwanis' current fund raising activities and future plans that might inspire more of the quality people in Baldwinsville to get involved with the Kiwanis team.
"The more we do, the more we can help those children truly in need," Samoraj said. "Everyone is busy these days, but if you can afford an hour of your time, the knowledge gained will be worth the time spent."
The Baldwinsville Kiwanis supports: B'ville Booster lacrosse, baseball and basketball; Golisano Children's Hospital; Kamp Kiwanis; Make-A-Wish; Ronald McDonald House; scholarship; school reading programs, and more. Visit baldwinsvillekiwanis.com for more information.

Starting signal for series production of the new Audi A3 Cabriolet: With this new compact four-seater, Audi Hungaria is producing another model completely in Győr as of today. The A3 Cabriolet is distinctive already with its flowing lines and fabric soft-top. It is also at the pinnacle of its segment in technical terms – with consistently applied lightweight construction, the latest engine technology, versatile networking and highly effective assistance systems.
Tag Archives: Audi A3
All-New Cabriolet Tops Off Audi A3 Range in FrankfurtPosted in Audi
Drawing inspiration from the new Audi A3 Saloon with its flowing lines and finely balanced proportions, the all-new A3 Cabriolet makes its world public debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The compact class open-top will become available for UK ordering in late October, and will reach its first customers here in March 2014.
Audi A3 E-Tron Motors Into GenevaPosted in Audi
Audi will make all the right connections next month when the A3 e-tron petrol/electric hybrid – capable of up to 188mpg – adds to the roster of highlights on the Audi stand at the Geneva Motor Show. Integrating a conventional petrol engine and an electric motor, the advanced plug-in hybrid offers impressive performance, exceptional efficiency and, equally crucially, complete freedom from 'range anxiety'.
Audi A3 Cabriolet Prepares For Its Grand FinalePosted in Audi
As the worst of the snow recedes from much of the UK, the current Audi A3 Cabriolet is also withdrawing gracefully with the help of new Final Edition models which make the prospect of spring soft-top motoring even more attractive. Based on the familiar Sport and S line specification levels, the new Final Edition variants include numerous enhancements which maximise comfort, convenience and driving pleasure. Available now, they range in price from £23,775 OTR to £30,615 OTR.
The A3 Cabriolet Sport Final Edition takes the already comprehensively equipped Sport model and replaces its cloth upholstery with supple Vienna leather. It also adds front seat heating, rear parking sensors, automatic headlight and wiper activation, cruise control and a Bluetooth mobile phone interface. These comfort and convenience features are in addition to existing Sport trimmings such as 17-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension, dual-zone climate control, a Concert CD audio system with auxiliary iPod/MP3 socket and a fast-acting fully automatic acoustic hood.
S line Final Edition models offer even more luxury to complement their even more sporting stance. They replace the original 18-inch S line alloy wheel with a new five-segment spoke design, add full Vienna leather upholstery in place of the original fabric and leather combination and boost the list of S line safety and entertainment features to include xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lamps, DVD-based satellite-navigation, Audi Music Interface iPod connection and a BOSE sound system.
The premium for the new A3 Cabriolet Sport Final Edition model is £2,340 over the standard A3 Cabriolet, which also continues in this final production run. Compared with the cost of specifying its additional equipment individually, this premium represents a saving of £1,605. The step up to the S line Final Edition from the Sport Final Edition costs an additional £2,435, effectively saving £3,640 compared with choosing its additional equipment separately.
Power options for standard Cabriolet models, and both Final Edition variants, include three responsive and frugal turbo charged and directly injected petrol units – the 1.2 TFSI with 105PS, the 1.8 TFSI with 160PS and the 2.0 TFSI with 200PS – or two turbo charged direct injection diesels – the 1.6 TDI with 105PS and the 2.0 TDI with 140PS. Depending on the engine chosen, these offer economy potential of up to 65.7mpg with CO2 output of as little as 114g/km.
Prices for the final Cabriolet range start from £21,435 OTR for the 1.2 TFSI standard model. Sport Final Edition versions start from £23,775 OTR, and S line Final Editions from £26,210 OTR.

Of course BEAR's grim deductions all change with the signing of a quality deal. One in which a multi national could offer BXI financial aid to help start Saskatoon and at the same time outline plans for a European version of a canola plant with hopefully a much larger production capacity. There are just too many possible paths one can take and the probable variance of those paths to try and guess at where we'll be in a few month's time. The least concern imo is the ramifications of a $3M debenture when put in context of the possible access to the multi billion dollar plant protein market with the signing of a JV agreement.
BEAR once again attempts to cast BXI in the worst light. Yes we know they are only capable of manufacturing sample quantities of protein with the equipment they have in place. Yes we know that BXI doesn't have a purchasing customer base for it's products since they have yet to apply the new water based extraction method to a full size manufacturing facility. These are known facts but let's not forget that CS from when he first became CEO has taken us back to square one in an effort to get it right this time. A painful waiting process but one that is necessary. Chris Carl had it as s backwards. The standard procedure to prove a concept is to build a pilot plant to test your computer models and only when all systems test green under real world stringent conditions do you approach the market for funds to take the technology to a commercial scale. You don't build an expensive structure full of high priced equipment, hire plant personnel, and then try to play it by ear as you go along. That in short is a fool's game.The very fact that BXI had to install foaming separators at an additional cost of millions months after the production equipment was already in place should have alerted us that the whole process was not thought out properly.
So now at least we know how not to do it. That many times is just as valuable in reaching your goal. So what does CS have to work with? He has an improved, environmentally friendlier extraction method. He has higher, more consistent purity yields, This time BXI has performed exhaustive testing of their products guided by a world class engineering group. The tests were only stopped after it was satisfactorily determined and abundantly confirmed to all testing parties that the extraction process had achieved all it set out to do at the pilot plant level. BXI's Isolexx is now ready to be scaled up to a full production manufacturing plant. The next step is the job of the CEO and BOD to find a way.

For the "godfather of gospel," nothing short of the absolute best in church music would do to send him home. So, for his four-hour homegoing service, music filled the room, reports the New York Daily News.
Mourners sang his songs, including the 2007 hit "Jesus Jesus Jesus," and speakers, including Rev. Al Sharpton and two of his sons, made remarks at Pilgrim Baptist Church in New York.
Timothy died Thursday, April 30 from injuries sustained during a head-on car accident last year. That same accident took the life of his wife, Betty, and their eldest grandson, 14-year old D.J. almost a year ago.

Wad of Turkmenistani Manat
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan 11/08
If there's anything I've learned since stepping outside the college bubble and into the real world, it's that financial literacy in America is piss poor. Every day, personal budgets are neglected, debts are magnified and irrational decisions are made. Did you know that at the end of 2008, the average credit card debt per American household–regardless of whether they had a credit card or not–was $8,329? Pretty wild, when you think about it. Given that the average interest rate on a credit card is roughly 15%, a household with that much debt can generate over $1,200/month in additional interest debt. Yikes.
Just over ten months ago I wrote Mapping Your Financial Infrastructure, an article about the importance of deconstructing your finances. You know, where money comes from. Where it goes. How much (and in what capacity) you save and invest. It was a good first-step in my adult life–systematically observing how money flows in and out, looking for ways to optimize.
In a continous effort to stay on top of my finances, I recently reread I Will Teach You To Be Rich, my choice when it comes to all things "personal finance." Yes, the title is scammy-sounding and seemingly presumptuous, but trust me, the author knows his stuff. Over the last month, I have taken his advice to heart and made a few infrastructural changes.
Credit Cards and Frequent Flyer Miles
I applied for a new credit card, the Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard®. Long after my career as a cost-of-living surveyor is over, I still plan on traveling. This card has a much better airline rewards program than my previous card, the Bank of America WorldPoints Rewards Visa. I get 30,000 American Airline miles for signing up, and the annual fee is waived for the first year. Normally I'm against the idea of an annual fee (in this case $85), but all the best credit card reward programs have fees. Note: I did not close my BoA Visa! It has a really high credit limit ($13,600), so closing my access to that limit would significantly and negatively impact my credit score.
From Bank of America to Schwab
I moved checking accounts from Bank of America to Schwab. Lately I've had a couple of situational issues with Bank of America and I've been looking for a reason to move on to greener pastures. I chose Schwab's High Yield Investor Checking account. Schwab comes highly recommended for a variety of reasons; customer service, the fact that they reimburse ATM fees and a strong paperless system, to note a few. I was also attracted to Schwab because they make it easy to set up and fund a Roth IRA.
Opening a Roth IRA
For the last few years I had been investing $100/month into Class-A American Funds. While the American Fund family consistently outperforms its peers 1-2% each year, each Class-A fund has a 5.5% load, or fee. This means that for every $100 I invest, I'm only really investing $94.50. It's not much, but with so many other no-fee options out there, I want to capitalize on compound interest.
I stopped putting $100/month into the American Funds and chose to open a no-fee Roth IRA instead. If you're not familiar with the benefits of maxing out your Roth IRA contributions, read this.
The point I want to make is this. In today's digital age, tracking and controlling and optimizing your personal finances has never been easier. The tools are there. The Internet makes it…so…damn…easy. Over the last month, the two or three hours I spent making the changes above will no doubt save me thousands down the road.
Do yourself a favor this week. Take a peek at your financial situation and see if there's any room for positive changes. Do a little research. Fill some holes. I'd be happy to entertain any questions you have about credit cards, savings accounts and the like. I'm no expert, but hopefully I can point you in the right direction

In Japan, you are not allowed to carry balances on your credit card. They are paid in full every month. When you buy new things, you have the option of dividing the payments over several months but balances are generally paid in full.
I am somewhat jealous of all the ridiculous sign up bonuses offered in the US but at the same time I know that the credit card companies are part of the problem in the excessive personal debt of Americans.
A thirty year old Japanese male will typically have more than $100,000 in savings. I don't imagine the US is anywhere near that level.

@John: When I wrote this, I was hoping you would chime in! You might find this post interesting: http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2008/11/27/personal-finance-in-japan-an-american-view/
And yes, I think credit card companies are a huge part of the personal debt problem. We need more transparency!
I've been considering greener pastures for my Bank of America account as well. I've been struggling with finding something equivalent for a business account, though.
.-= Thursday Bram´s last blog ..Using a Weapon as a Travel Hack =-.
@Thursday Bram: Interesting you say that. Most small business owners that I know are using BoA. Let me know if you find a suitable alternative!
Hi Alan,
I consider myself lucky that over here (The Netherlands) it's quite unusual to have a credit card. It's something for those few who regularly use hotels and book flights mostly. Even though you can still do those things with a regular debt card here.
The only reason I have a CC is because of amazon.com and the rare occasion that I use a hotel somewhere outside of my home country. It's easier that way. Besides, my limit is 1500 euro's. Small change compared to those monster cards you have in the US of A. (my quarterly fee is 3.45 euro's, another big difference)
Keeping track of all spendings and your current debt/credit situation is always a good idea. Got that down to the cent with GNUcash (open source accounting program). Keeping an exact track is the only way you can consistently live below your means and know about it and it made all the difference. Should have done the tracking ages ago.
Greets, Christiaan

My finances are something that I need to get under better control. I'm not saying they are in bad shape right now, but the potential could be there for that to happen. Thanks for the little wake up call. I think the first step for me will be signing up and using Mint.com.

Great post, I seem to be working on all this information myself right now. I just started reading Personal Finance for Dummies and added the two blogs you stated in my feed read. I'm always on the lookout to learn a little more about finances and how to save up and pay off debts.
.-= Cornelius Aesop´s last blog ..New Brew Tuesday – Altenmünster Maibock =-.
The fundamentals around the dollar (and MANY fiat currencies) mean it will continue to be devalued, so that should always be kept in mind.
One of the smartest things we did (besides selling our dream house at peak in 2005) was to mostly get out of the dollar at that time. That has been a key feature in helping us live large in Europe on just 23 dollars a day per person since 2006 (while adding to our nest egg while we travel the world).
Everyone should read the Casey article "The Dollar in Your Wallet Is Only Worth 18 Cents" to really grasp at what is happening to their money.
Not everyone can get totally out of the dollar, but it's smart to hedge and learn about currencies today.
I like the huff po plan too about getting out of the big banks so as not to support the banksters running the country.
.-= soultravelers3´s last blog ..Seth Godin, Linchpin, Education & Travel =-.
With the government spending trillions, no one has a good example.
.-= Nomadic Matt´s last blog ..Hostel Etiquette =-.
I really like the looks of the Turkmenistani Manat.
Indeed, credit card debt is a major problem in America. The more you use your credit card, the more you spend and later you'll feel like there is NO positive side to owning a CC.
Nice article there, Alan. I will bookmark this. Apparently, many people still don't use today's technology to track finances easily, which if they do, would help a lot.

Washington, D.C. 20554
April 12, 2012
Small Entity Compliance Guide
Amendment of the Commission's Ex Parte
Rules and Other Procedural RulesReport and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
GC Docket No. 10-43
Released: February 2, 2011
This Guide is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 212 of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. It is intended to help
small entities—small businesses, small organizations (non-profits), and small
governmental jurisdictions—comply with the new rules adopted in the above-
referenced FCC rulemaking docket(s). This Guide is not intended to replace the
rules and, therefore, final authority rests solely with the rules. Although we have
attempted to cover all parts of the rules that might be especially important to small
entities, the coverage may not be exhaustive. This Guide may, perhaps, not apply
in a particular situation based upon the circumstances, and the FCC retains the
discretion to adopt approaches on a case-by-case basis that may differ from this
Guide, where appropriate. Any decisions regarding a particular small entity will
be based on the statute and regulations.
In any civil or administrative action against a small entity for a violation of rules,
the content of the Small Entity Compliance Guide may be considered as evidence of
the reasonableness or appropriateness of proposed fines, penalties or damages.
Interested parties are free to file comments regarding this Guide and the
appropriateness of its application to a particular situation; the FCC will consider
whether the recommendations or interpretations in the Guide are appropriate in
that situation. The FCC may decide to revise this Guide without public notice to
reflect changes in the FCC's approach to implementing a rule, or to clarify or
update the text of the Guide. Direct your comments and recommendations, or calls
for further assistance, to the FCC's Consumer Center:

BACKGROUNDThe Commission's ex parte rules (47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1200-1216) help ensure the fairness integrity, and
transparency, of Commission proceedings. They govern the ability of people outside the
Commission to communicate with Commission decision-makers and how those communications
are disclosed.
An "ex parte" presentation is a communication directed to the merits or outcome of a proceeding
that (1) if written, is not served on all the parties to the proceeding, and (2) if oral, is made without
giving all of the parties advance notice and an opportunity to be present. Under the ex parte rules,
there are three types of proceedings:
In exempt proceedings, such as notices of inquiry, ex parte presentations may be
freely made, and no disclosure is required.
In permit-but-disclose proceedings, such as most rulemakings, ex parte
presentations to decision-makers are permitted but must be disclosed on the
In restricted proceedings, such as formal complaint proceedings and most
licensing proceedings, ex parte presentations both to and by decision-makers are
Special restrictions on presentations, whether ex parte or not, apply during the Sunshine period.
The Sunshine period begins when the Commission releases a public notice announcing that a matter
will be considered at an Open Commission Meeting, and ends when the Commission releases a
decision or order relating to the matter, the matter is deleted from the Sunshine agenda, or the
matter is returned to the staff.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROCEEDINGThe Commission amended the ex parte rules to enhance their effectiveness and clarity. The
amendments change in significant respects the obligations of people making presentations to
Commission decision-makers. The amendments affect both the timing and content of the
disclosures that must be made. The amendments also affect how the rules will be enforced.
permit-but-disclose proceedings, has been amended in several respects. Summaries of oral
presentations, such as meetings or telephone calls, must be filed for all presentations, not just
those in which new data or arguments are presented. The ex parte notice must summarize the
data or arguments presented or cite to the person's prior filings containing the data or
2. The deadlines for filing copies of written presentations or summaries of oral presentations have
also been amended. Persons must generally file within two business days after the presentation.
If the presentation is made the day a Sunshine notice issued with respect to the matter, the filing
must be made the next business day, and replies addressing the content of the filing may be
made the day after that. If the presentation is permitted during the Sunshine period (because it
is subject to an exemption), the filing must be made by the end of the same day and replies may
be filed the next day.
3. Filings must be made electronically, in machine-readable format, through the Commission's
electronic comment filing system, subject to a hardship exception. In the case of confidential
material, a confidential version must be filed in hard copy and a public, redacted version must
be filed electronically along with the request for confidential treatment of the hard copy version.
Copies of summaries of oral presentations must be sent to the staff present at the meeting.
4. Section 1.208 has been amended to require that persons making non-ex parte presentations (i.e.,
presentations where all parties have been served or given notice) must file a copy or summary of
the presentation for the record, using the procedures in § 1.1206(b).
5. Section 1.1203 has been amended to provide that the Sunshine period begins at midnight on the
day the Sunshine notice is released, rather than the moment it is released.
6. Section 0.111 has been amended to give the Enforcement Bureau, upon referral from the Office
of General Counsel, the authority to impose forfeitures for violation of the ex parte rules.
