As you plan and prepare for some trail riding or horse camping adventures this spring and summer, make sure you have all of your bases covered. It would ruin your trip to arrive at a beautiful national park entrance only to be turned away because you've brought hay with you that doesn't pass muster. Those culprit bales may contain exotic, or non-native, weed seeds.
"Many publicly managed lands, national parks, and national forests now require horse owners who visit to feed their horses what's known as 'certified weed-free' or 'certified weed seed-free' forage," says Bonnie Davis, a respected lecturer on horse camping and trail management.
Weeds and their seeds are brought onto public lands in natural ways-by wildlife or birds that live within that environment, or by the wind-and unnatural ways-by hikers, bikers, loggers, miners, vehicles, and yes, by horses.
"As noxious weeds spread, federal managers try to control them through mechanical, biological, and chemical means," notes Davis, "But some attention has turned to preventing the arrival of non-native weeds."
Most weed-free regulations are based within the western states. California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming all have some kind of certified weed-free or certified baled feed program. One way to find out more about the specific regulations for each state is to contact the Department of Agriculture within each state. Davis also recommends contacting the public agency that manages the land on which you plan to camp and/or ride to find out individual restrictions. Davis warns, though: "Don't believe what you hear or read online; false stories, bad rumors, and outdated emails have kept a lot of horsemen from using public lands."
Do your research before you head out. "By becoming proactive instead of reactive, public lands will remain open to equestrian use," says Davis.

My DS is on Similac Sensitive and we add cereal to each bottle due to reflux. We have been doing this for a couple months now and recently his face has been turning red and blotchy right when he starts drinking his bottle. It doesn't seem to bother him but should I be concerned and maybe be switching his formula?
Anyone else experience this??

Google has launched a new format for AdWords advertisers: Gadget Ads.
Gadget Ads are an interactive ad unit that will appear on sites in the AdSense content network. Gadget ads can include things like data feeds, images, or video and can be developed using Flash, HTML or a combination of the two. They support both cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-impression (CPM) pricing models, and offer a variety of contextual, site, geographic and demographic targeting options.
The units are a clear attempt to woo more brand advertisers to Google's platform. To help in that regard, Google has also hired Andy Berndt as managing director of a new "Creative Lab," according to a Wall Street Journal report. Berndt was most recently co-president of Ogilvy & Mather's New York office. The New York-based Lab will look for ways to work more closely with traditional agencies, according to the report.
While the move may seem like a push into the agency business, a spokesperson told ClickZ News that was not the case: "We are not in any way setting up our own agency. We want to be very clear about that."

What's worse, when Azula--the mad sister of Fire Lord Zuko--appears on the scene, Zuko locks down the capitol to catch her, igniting fear and riots in the streets! Will Zuko follow in his evil father's footsteps in order to save those he holds dear?!"
Azula!!! Azula's back! Wooo!!!

Posted by Icy_Ashford on July 19th, 2015 @ 2:09 AM EST (798)
this IGN article and also glimpse at some pictures of Gene accepting the award in this post.
In other news according to Bryan's tumblr post, it seems there will be a newly-packaged DVD box set for the complete series of Avatar: The Last Airbender that would go on sale in the United States and Canada on October 6th this year. A picture of Aang is embedded in this post and you click on the image for a full view. You can also read Bryan's post to see more cover art of each book featuring the other main characters of the show.
I think it's amazing that after all these years, we finally get a complete series DVD box set. Maybe there would be one for The Legend of Korra series down the road too? We can only wait and see...
Finalized cover image for Avatar: The Last Airbender: Legacy
Posted by Icy_Ashford on June 19th, 2015 @ 9:42 PM EST (792)
announced last year that there will be an "Avatar: The Last Airbender: Legacy" book. The release date has been pushed back several times and we are still unsure what the actual release date is but the finalized cover has been released!
I guessed last year that the final cover could maybe consist of an image of an adult Aang with a young Tenzin. And boy, am I really surprised and blown away that my prediction came true. The image of the finalized cover is embedded in this post and I just can't help but feel the warmth that is radiating from the picture. Click on the image for a full sized view of the picture.
I can't wait to read the book when it is finally out. Feel free to pre-order this on Amazon or BookDepository.

5 Ways To Improve Your Finances With Minimal Effort
Man Will Pay Dentist Bill With 45 Years' Worth Of Pennies
A 73-year-old man in Louisiana did not originally start saving all of his pennies as a fun personal finance hack. He says that he began the habit 45 years ago as a reminder to pray every day. His collection grew with the help of a friend who had a similar collection of nickels and by simply holding on to every penny that passed through his hands. [More]
Local Official Thinks It's Uncool To Pay $25 Parking Ticket In Pennies, But Affirms Man's Right To Do So

Poll: Americans Want Eleanor Roosevelt's Face On New $10 Bill
Although we won't find out which historic woman the U.S. Treasury Department will choose for a new $10 bill until later this year, a new poll says Americans already know who they want sharing face time with Alexander Hamilton: The nation's longest-serving first lady, as well as an activist, diplomat and politician, Eleanor Roosevelt.

Police Asking People To Please Give Back Cash That Fell Out Of Armored Truck
It sounds like a dream come true: the doors of an armored truck fly open, and cash comes flying out, all over the road, just begging to be scooped up by passers-by. But even when dreams become reality, that doesn't mean loose money is free money, which is why police in Baltimore are asking the public to return cash that spilled from an armored vehicle earlier this week.

Walmart Manager Accused Of Conspiring In $78,000 Robbery
In the past, Consumerist has reported on several employees who could certainly take the title of worst employee at Walmart: the man arrested for stealing cash from a customer and food from the company's deli, the woman who allegedly stole $10,000 in cash and gift cards while working as a cashier, or the long-time employee who stole $250,000 over several years. Today, we add another candidate to the list: an Oklahoma store manager who allegedly conspired to help another man steal $78,000 from the store. [More]

For all those times you've wished it would suddenly start raining money, the odds are you haven't been that lucky… yet.

Lawmaker Urges Congress To Vote On Bill That Would Put A Woman On The $20 Note
You don't have to look in your wallet to know that no paper U.S. currency features the face of an American woman, but one lawmaker wants that to change sometime soon: Rep. Luis Gutierrez urged Congress today to vote on a bill he introduced last month that would change the face of money as we know it, literally, by putting a woman on the $20 bill. [More]
9 Things We're So Grateful Mom Taught Us About Money
Today is the day we pause to reflect on everything our mothers have given us, from kisses on scraped knees and comfortable laps to sit on, to financial wisdom that has the power to stick with us through adulthood. We asked you to share the personal finance tips your mother imparted to you, because hey, sharing is caring and she'd probably approve. [More]
What Did Your Mom Teach You About Money?
When I was in first grade, the lunch lady at my school informed me that my parents had overpaid for my meals for the month, and sent the extra money home with me, as I remember it. I took it to my mom, who said that everyone should have a bank account, and that we could use that $18 or so to start one for me. And to add to that — she said that moolah could grow to a larger amount all by itself through a magical thing called "interest." [More]

Most U.S. $100 Bills Are Not In The United States Right Now
$100 bills: what are they good for? Most Americans don't use them, some stores won't accept them, and their untraceability makes them tempting to steal. What you may not realize, though, is that two-thirds of all United States $100 bills aren't in circulation in the United States. Instead, they're the currency of choice in places where people have no faith in their own country's government and the money it prints. [More]

John Carter of Mars by shokxone-studiosWatch

It still saddens me that John Carter did so poorly at the box office. Disney had a great adventure flick on your hands and let it sink; they couldn't even be bothered to give the Blu-ray some decent cover artwork. Shame, Mickey. But, the movie will be available soon, and I have some nice custom flair for it.

si alguien puede indicar como instalar esta super...
Hey guy ! Thanks for this awesome work ! Can you please help me? Because I did like to have my wingpanel as your's. I don't know if it is tranparency or something else, but if you can help, I will really appreciate. Which app have you used to do so? Thanks !
how the hell do you do this? im new to linux i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my mac. i was going to get linux mint 15 cinnamon but it gave me problems while installing it so didn't wanna deal with it. i don't know how to do anything yet. this is pretty much what i want to do but i have no clue where to start haha
Buen shot, ahora revisaré mas de tu gallery! Que íconos son esos
¿Usas el tema "transparente" del plank?
Se ve bonito tu escritorio.
Hi, I tried to get the wallpaper like yours, but yours still feels warmer and with crisper colours. Could you tell us how you modified the image to be like that?
Thanks anyway, pretty sleek desktop you have .
To make it feel warm: Just Gaussian blur the image like you normally would. Next, create a new layer and paste the color black in it. Then, set the property of that new layer to overlay. Hope that helped!
You might want to turn the opacity of the black layer down a bit too unless you want a really harsh warm effect.
You have flawless taste in music. High five to you for liking one of my favorite bands.
Great wallpaper! Can you share it?
wallpaper bro
Awesome Conky, do you mind sharing?
can you share your conky?
Can you share conky config and wall?
How do you do that?

I think it was about time he would take responsability for the damage done.
yes. sure sounds like a lecture.
is it just me or does BP CEO Tony Hayward look eerily similar to Wesley Snipes from 30Rock?
and since it's the' American Ocean' how should we grade the reponse by the American Government?worse than Katrinia?
The US Government is a disgrace, yes BP is responsible , and yes they should be held accountable but this circus of an administration will use this for political theater .
Impeachment? For what? Don't you think an impeached president during a national crisis would be the last thing we'd want?
I wonder if anything substantial will come out of this. It seems like the real "political theater" is occurring right now during this event as politicians talk about this thing, that thing, and what we as a country should do in order to fix all of it. Wouldn't it be nice if more career politicians did these sorts of thing when no one is watching (which is more often) instead of when everyone is watching (which is hardly ever). My hope is that Tony Hayward is utilized as a "lesson learned" instead of being tossed around like a play thing.
I wonder how many of these senators and representatives are parents or teachers and have actually had to scold someone before to teach a lesson.
what just happend?
I can't believe that not one of your bloggers noticed the only real news of these statements. Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) APOLOGIZED to BP!
The US government currently has a lynch mob mentality. I am not sure if they realise that going after big companies and finger pointing will not mask the fact that they (US government) have failed the American people.
Swingmeister - We'll see how perceptive they are in November , hopefully they won't fail like they did in 2006 & 2008
Obama is a shake down artist
Many Obama supporters claim that the President is not responsible for the Gulf oil spill and that is true. However it should be obvious, and I hope Republicans are listening, that when Obama announced last March the opening up of new offshore drilling it was done without any due diligence. A thorough safety review of existing offshore platforms should have been done prior to the Presidents announcement. That review would have brought the problems on the BP rig to light and corrective procedures could have been taken. Once again the lack of managerial experience and the concept that any idea the President has is, ipso facto, a good idea , has caused the greatest environmental disaster in US history. Should BP be held accountable? Of course. Should the President be held accountable for not protecting the public? The answer is just as obvious.
"On April 2, 2010, just 18 days before the BP offshore oil spill began and on the day when Obama reversed 27 years of government policy forbidding offshore drilling, Obama made this statement:
" PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I want to put out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don't cause spills. They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn't come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore."
How could Tony Hayward NOT be the face of BP? The guy's the CEO, for god's sake, and if he's not responsible, who is? The COO is a nice thought, but he's not ultimately in charge. There's no way to sugar coat this mess. Tony Hayward took the job and with it, the responsibility. No one in central casting is going to put a pretty face on this.
The liberals think that bullying people justifies they own inept approach to governing . There will be plenty of time to humiliate the BP execs
What a bunch of losers, who elects these morons ?
The questions are absolutely ridiculous , they should have waited until after BP finishes their investigation .
It's Dingleberry's turn .
It's time for term limits
Stupak has the gall to bully BP and Hayward as if he were a truly straightforward person. Look how he hoodwinked his state into making them believe that he was against the healthcare bill and then turned around and voted for it. He can't be trusted even as a street sweeper. This is strictly for political gain for the demos.
BP shouldn't have agreed to pay for workers from other companies put out of a job due to Obama's drilling moratorium.
These clowns are doing more to build sympathy for Hayward by being so obnoxious.
Ah. We bring Toyota CEO and BP CEO our own people are affected because of their products or misdeed. And, we hide Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson when the people of another country (in India) that created the biggest environmental disaster because of our misdeed. Fact remains that these are US companies with US managers and workers, making decisions that brings down their our own people for US-based company benefits. But we and media love these kind of songs and dance.
Interesting to note that the Barton "clown" received over $100,000 in campaign donations from BP, the largest of any member of the committee.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Donations come from a mix of employees and the company's political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
Morons nothing morons... these congressmen are performing for the camera. They would have solicited and gladly accepted political contributions from BP if there were no accidents. ACCIDENTS do happen and BP is the responsible party. They are paying for the damage... so what is your problem...
According to a Department of Interior's website, BP Exploration & Production Inc. is one of three finalists for a Safety Award for Excellence, which honors companies for "outstanding safety and pollution prevention performance by the offshore oil and gas industry." The other nominees are ExxonMobil Corp. and Eni US Operating Co. BP specifically was nominated in the High OCS Activity Operator category, for companies engaged in operations on the outer continental shelf.
any updates on what is going on over there?
The questions are being worded in a manner similar to "Senator, when did you stop beating your wife?"
Every energy producer with operations in the US has got to be tabulating their own "BP liability". This will be the death nail for new energy investment in the US and only serve to drive investment (and jobs) to lower liability locals like Brazil. The US will be left with higher energy costs and fewer jobs.
As usual from the court jesters of the kangaroo court of Congressional oversight (what a joke that name is) all we get is pontificating and blowhard stupidity! From the financial industry grilling, to Toyota, and now this all we see is how totally incompetent and out of touch these buffoons actually are. If they cared about anything other than hearing their own pathetic voices they might ask; "What additional resources can the government bring to help you? Are there things we can do to streamline what you need access to to help facilitate the clean-up?" How many times do each of these idiots need to hear; "I'm not going to pass judgment on the decisions until the investigations are complete." Of course, that is what a reasonable person would say but since this is all preening for the cameras, the monkeys can't possibly do anything but jump up and down and throw bananas. Pathetic! It is the entire Congress that needs to be FIRED, not tony Hayward!
I can't decide who's acting most stupid: Congressionals asking detailed operational questions of the head-person of a multi-billion dollar operation, or the CEO who does not have a support staff on hand with the information needed to answer the questions. Am I being cynical in thinking that it's another "show" for Congress to look like it's doing something; Its activity appears misdirected: it should be reviewing the regulations it wrote or didn't write instead of usurping the executive agencies job of getting to the bottom of what happened.
Goldman Sachs 2.0
Bottom line: if you are in congress (or WH) today you are likely a crook or stupid or both. Term limits please. These guys humiliate us again.
as shown today, again..
I almost embarrassed to be an American , what happened to this Government ?
I can't believe the disrespect Dingell and others are showing to The Almighty Dollar. I worship The Almighty Dollar, and I expect more tolerance for diverse beliefs.
The Almighty Dollar is the best measure of how valuable we have been to the rest of society. Bill Gates has a lot of them because he has been almost incalculably valuable to the rest of us. Talented professionals tend to have many; winos hanging around the bus station, very few. It is not perfect, of course.
So watch the democrats use another crisis to weaken the pillars of American prosperity, and promote the idea that the only the government can dig out of a financial hole by wasting money it does not have. Every major piece of legislation out of this congress should be entitled "The Squeeze Taxpayers and Waste Money Act of 2010, #37, #38, #39 etc."
This hearing is absolutely disgusting! Hayward is obviously the smartest guy in the room, and he's being lynched by a bunch of political idiots... This is an utter waste of time. Hayward needs to be down in Texas working on getting this thing under control and getting relief to those involved, not siting on capitol hill as a punching bag for the intellectually challenged...
I work in the refining industry. I join Joe Barton in asking when we the taxpayers, who pay their salaries, get to question the highly qualified individuals at MMS. I am sick and tired of a feckless government full of overpaid bureaucrats lecturing the very people who pay their fat salaries and provide them with pensions that no one in the private sector can even dream about.
The US Government is making a horrible situation apocalyptic. Has any one of these politicians every worked a real job?
The Macondo well spews an oil gusher, our representatives spew a gusher of bull.
I'm surprised that Hayward, when asked wheither today was Thursday, did not say that it is not Thursday everywhere.
Hayward should Walk OUT;
The DISRESPECT congress members are dealing out is SHAME-FULL ; BP should and I think WILL pay: But the GRANDSTANDING by Congress is SAD and RUDE ---- Thy don't care about the oil leak as much as they Want The HEADLINES....... and RE-election
Anyone keeping score? I have Hayward 30, Committee 0
This whole circus is absolutely embarrassing... Especially considering it is undoubtedly being watched overseas. The utter lack of intelligence among these politicians will clearly leave strong impressions on people around the world.
Just Congress doing what it does best - second guessing other peoples' decisions with the benefit of hindsight.
Scorekeeper - I would love to know what Hayward thinks of these buffoons, he has to be laughing inside ...
It's fitting that Bart Stupid is leading the inquiry
You all that are hollering "impeach the President" are ridiculous. You are not brave enough to admit your real reasons for wanting this president out of office as it will demonstrate your maturity level and mentality. Why should this president be impeached? Please enlighten me. He was initially slow to respond yes, but what would you like to see him do? Siphon up the oil for a few days himself or something? More importantly, how did you feel about Bush when all of those residents (not refugees as they were referred to) of New Orleans were stranded for days on in? Were you as adamant about having Bush impeached as well? Probably not is my guess. It is blatantly obvious that those of you who feel the president should be impeached for this, wanted him out anyway. You are probably the same ones going to tea party events claiming you want to see fiscal responsibility even though our last president went from surplus to debt in no time. Some of you are pathetic.
The blow-out preventer is a red herring. It by passes BP's real culpability, the failure to heed the many signs that they had a problem bore hole.
ClearCut No worries , Obama is a lame duck in November and will lose by a landslide in 2012
These posts and the mentality and thought processes posted here are like liberal chum. It's posts like those here that make it easy for Dems to oust conservatives. I must encourage conservatives and republicans like those here and Texas Rep. Joe Barton to please continue to leave the edit part of your brains on hiatus. It will make it far easier for those with logical, intelligent, thoughtful and effective answers and leadership to become more obvious everyday.
Why do Republicans hate America ?
These GOP types should be forced to swim in the oil for a few days, get coated, get it in their eyes and mouth, breath it in, then they can dismiss what the wildlife is going through. GOP- Party of death and destruction.
The Republicans want all the damages thrown out by The Supreme Court like they were with Valdez.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) should be charged with TREASON and arrested for crimes against the american people.
But according to Rep. Barton is OK for a corporation to shakedown the American people everyday. Because that's capitalism!
Republicans are for.....
"British" Petroleum - YES YES YES
"American" People - OH HE// NOOOOOO!!!
Nuff said!
they are so mad of Obama as the POTUS, that they can't hold their hate anymore and their
mind goes nuts..
i think very soon they going start jumping of the bridges and tall buildings
Obozo, thanks for the detailed and credible points you make...very impressive. I wish you would have informed however who the landslide victor was going to be though. Hopefully that extremely bright lady...what's her name? Sarah something right? You need a serious dose of reality. The right has no apparent leader at the moment and the tea baggers have no direction or front running leader either. Who knows though. Perhaps your carefully thought out "vision" will come true regardless.
ClearCut - Fail
The mere fact that you respond using "tea baggers" diminishes any credibility you might have had .
Why do Republicans hate the environment ?
Why do Republicans hate people ?
Obozo -Fail
Only capable of 1 sentence responses and never addressing any of the points mentioned...you'd make a great Repub.
All Hayward cares about is cutting costs at the expense of human lives and the environment...look at his record at BP over his career = littered with death and environmental devastation!!!
So REPUBLICANS were not so concerned with TAXPAYERS being "shaken down" for the TARP funds? Or that the government would somehow "skim" the TARP, or that TARP was "wealth re-distribution" which by the way it was a classic example of…But when the hardworking Americans need help - from unemployment caused by poor regulations and drunken bank-casino orgy, to being compensated for the huge BP oil spill disaster - REPUBLICANS ARE CONCERNED! They are so concerned, they are apologizing to some british c-level corporate pukes! TARP was 35 TIMES LARGER than the $20BILLION BP fund. This is the true face of the REPUBLICAN GOP, remember NOVEMBER!!!
Same old dog and pony show, like Exxon Valdez spill. When they cap the well, pay some folks, it will be business as usual for all oil companies. I'm trying to determine should I buy the stock(much lower) or bonds of BP.
Heh, over for now.
great blow by blow commentary. BP = Beyond Parody.
watched most of the hearing
this inquiry is intended to enquire into the causes of a truly dreadful accident.
we got far too much retoric from the "committee" on "speculative causes" and gratuitous, cheap quips ..
when a CEO says under oath, we apologize and we will do the right thing BUT our investigation and other investigations into this incident are not yet finished therefore the facts,analysis& conclusions have not been established .......deserves better than........your stone walling your evasive etc
AND if the workers who survived the explosion know something why are we not hearing from them,under oath, instead of what appeared to be rantings from politicians playing to their galleries.
THE world deserves better!!
I also watched most of the hearing. I did not think that Hayward was evasive. Members of the committee did most of the talking. When they did ask a question they often did not wait for an answer, but interrupted Hayward's answer and continued talking. It was all a show. They knew the answer they wanted before they asked a question and expressed disgust if they did not get the answer they wanted. Hayward was under oath to tell the truth. Too bad that the committee members were not under oath. When Hayward did not know an answer he said so. He did not speculate like the committee members were doing. When the committee members asked for his opinion he rightfully said that he would wait for both the BP and federal investigations to be completed. Kind of analogous to members of the administration when they say "I cannot comment while an investigation is in progress".
it is easy to play MMQB and throw darts at the CEO, Does anyone think he got up one day and said ' I am going to start the disaster? Give him a break and be fair. No one orchestrates this and leave him to pick up the pieces.
The BOP is not designed to crush the riser. It is designed to shear the tubular and seal the well.
After the financial meltdown, I wish the Senate had investigated themselves with as much vigor. I am no fan of BP but what hippocrites these people are. Does Waxman even know what an oil well even looks like.
It is unrealistic to assume a CEO could possibly be aware of all the day by day decisions of the front line managers. at every well. The questions the Government asked showed their ignorance. What the CEO is responsible for is the "Tone at the Top" and the companiy's commitment to and rewards systems for a safety and compliance culture with good processess, proceedures and measurements with checks to determine compliance versus a "short cut" and strickly cost based rewards culture. It is this fine balance that differentiates companies and is the role of the CEO to not only shareholders but to customers, employees and the cummunities they operate in, including environmental accountabilities. .
BP should pay for all the suffering and pain that they have caused. Big oil is out of hand and out of line!
I'm think was BP are suffering a dirt competence bad advertising public relations crisis sabotage operation, what the world can't understand why the engineers are unable to cover the broke pipe hole oil spill or put an rubber pipe extension with a pump to get all oil what are put dirt the U.S. sea environment disaster, fee the U.S. Media & CIA Op. Mockbird psy press operation announce the disaster zone people evacuation with the Energy Department unable engineers to fix the spill from Obama's orders to attack BP (I'm sure what BP disobey some New World Order order for pass over the dirt operation media fee bad afvertising distraction).
Oh please for those who feel the law makers were "to hard" on Hayward keep in mind they informed him of the questions he would be asked and he was given leave to bring in anyone under him to help answer those questions. He went in alone that is his problem. No Hayward didn't "wake up one morning a a[wanting to cause a disaster]" but he was responsible for cutting corners and and not making sure safety measures in place within the company were followed. BP murdered 11 people trashed the Gulf and ruined lives. I use the word murderer intentionally. They knew corners were cut and the way they did business was not safe. It was not the first time cutting corners safety wise cost lives in this company. No one should have an ounce of sympathy for this CEO or company. 20 billion isn't enough for the shoddy unsafe way this company was run. It's about time out government cracked the whip on companies like this. I don't care if we let them drill... but they better start doing in in a responsible manner.
The spill in the gulf is tragic ,but the government should have taken the
help of other nations.Also this is America why can't we take help from
our own people who have great suggestions for clean up. By the way
has anybody checked out ETALK311.COM what a great place 4 adults

You may use this as stock, but please give credit if you do.
... and the DMC-12 is considered a failure to some automotive experts. Just keep the car and upgrade it with two small Japanese IHI turbos like the Legend Industries prototype. Then it will have the performance that it lacked.
The Delorean doesn't look any older at all ,still the legend ...
I know this feeling, it's best in class
Fantastic design, Terrible car. Nice shot
LOL Thank you!

One day...I will own one of these...
Lol, yeah, me too. My dad does, so I've gotten to ride in it. I just hope he'll sell it to me one day when I have the money..lol
Neat shot
this is fantastic! Beautiful shot!

This book is about how easy it is to manipulate the internet through blogs and fake stories.
"You've seen it all before. A malicious online rumor costs a company millions. A political sideshow derails the national news cycle and destroys a candidate. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. What you don't know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like me. I'm a media manipulator. In a world where blogs control and distort the news, my job is to control blogs-as much as any one person can. In today's culture…
"Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I'm tired of a world where blogs take indirect bribes, marketers help write the news, reckless journalists spread lies, and no one is accountable for any of it. I'm pulling back the curtain because I don't want anyone else to get blindsided. I'm going to explain exactly how the media really works. What you choose to do with this information is up to you."

BP is suing the maker of the device that failed to stop last year's calamitous Gulf oil spill, alleging negligence that the oil giant says helped cause the disaster.
The British company says in papers filed in federal court in New Orleans on Wednesday that Cameron International provided a blowout preventer with a faulty design, and in doing so caused an unreasonable amount of risk that harm would occur.
The suit, filed on the first anniversary of the spill, seeks damages to help BP pay for the tens of billions of dollars in liabilities it has incurred from disaster.
Eleven people were killed when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, leading to more than 200 million gallons of oil spewing from a BP well a mile beneath the ocean.
A testing firm hired by the government determined last month that the blowout preventer had a faulty design. But it also cited other problems related to rig crew actions.

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

This same thing is happening to my Macbook. Whatever you do don't bother taking it to an Apple Store for help.
I dropped mine off for repair for this reason and the back battery eject lever is broken. I was their for 1 hr and the tech had my computer out back for 45 minutes before they let me go.
They said it would take 1 wk to replace the optic driver and repair switch. I bought a back up drive so they could back it up because they could not promise data would not be lost. They said this would add 1 day to the repair.
They called me yesterday to say they found RUST inside my computer (which has never been wet). So they would need to send it out and have ALL OF THE COMPONENTS of my computer tested. And anything they deemed not working would need to be replaced. Now the ONLY thing not working in my computer is the eject on the CD/DVD player. I asked them to email the pictures of this as I was at work. They refused. They said legally they could not email me pictures of what is going on in my computer. They had my computer for 4 days and now wanted to send it somewhere to an "Apple repair center". They know this is a work computer that I use daily at work.
I went to pick it up because the whole thing seems fishy to me. They said somewhere else may be able to just replace the Optic Driver without sending it out,etc. They again refused to give me pictures about what they were talking about. We will show you on our Ipad only. The manager tried to give me her business card and when I did not want it got irritated and annoyed. I'm not sure what her business card was going to do for the situation.
DO NOT TAKE YOU REPAIRS TO THE APPLE STORE. They will try everything they can to complicate anything going on! To top it off they opened the computer and were trying to start the repair.
The back up drive I bought in their store was NEVER opened. They opened it up without backing up my data! And there was dirt all over my screen when I opened it in the store. It was clean when I dropped it off.
Good luck with your eject issue.

I tried all these post and the only thing that worked was force quiet by holding down the power button and on reboot, held down the eject botton. I am sure these are not the best options, but I did not realize that I put a Karaoke disk in.

Applications>Disk Utility
If you can see the title of CD or DVD that is stuck in the drive, highlight it, then click the eject button in the top toolbar.
If you can't see the title of the CD or DVD, close the lid of your macbook and reopen it. Sometimes this forces it to load so you can use the on-screen eject button.

I have this problem with my macbook pro. I have to shake the **** out of it to get it to eject. I am not kidding, hold it on it's side, and press eject (or terminal -> /usr/bin/drutil eject) and then shake it up and down. Disc comes out pretty fast then, so be ready.

Apple (AAPL) Timothy D. Cook on Q3 2015 Results - Earnings Call Transcript [View article]
I'm not surprised at all. I've seen ridiculous things with AAPL that last much longer than anyone will tolerate....the 50% drawdown a couple years ago - what was that about? Oh yeah, no "innovative" product, yet there still is nothing considered "innovative" and the stock has doubled.
Just own it at the right size and let it grow over the years. Hope they kick the dividend up!Jul 21, 2015. 08:57 PM | 13 Likes |Link to Comment
You may want to avoid emotionally-charged, pointless statements like this in the future. It adds nothing to the discussion and just lowers any credibility you may have had.
Nov 5, 2014. 11:21 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
So, in full disclosure, while I personally disagree that timing the market will increase returns over the long run - I'm allowing my financial advisor to do exactly that right now. Selling about 10% of my stock and half my remaining bonds to reach 20% in cash.
The problem I have is the probability that you will pick the right 10 days to miss - BEFORE THEY HAPPEN - is pretty much nil. There are plenty of studies that prove (see AAII and Morningstar) buying and holding outperform this method of selling a little at the top and trying to buy back in at the bottom - IFF one can actually ride out the volatility while fully invested (and that's a much bigger IFF than most folks think).
So to keep clients comfortable and keep them from panicking and changing their minds during a big drawdown, a FA will "lighten up" after a good stock run and then the investor feels more "aggressive" when the market pulls back. YES, you can avoid losses this way, but on average you sacrifice returns because it's nearly impossible to get back in and catch the full move upward (this is per the research in the articles - I don't have time to dig up the reference but it was either AAII or Morningstar).
So why would I follow a strategy that I think will actually lead to lower returns than staying full invested? Because I'm more concerned about making a mistake and losing money than I am about capturing that extra couple points on the upside....for now.
In addition, right after we sold those stocks a month ago the market continued downward and my FA looked very smart....until it bounced back up exactly per my concern.
So the moral of the story is...while you can sell before the market drops and maybe buy back in lower, you can't do this consistently and it makes it very hard to compare against any standard to see if you really are achieving superior returns. It may feel good, but do you really have more money in your account?
For all of my effort and my FA's and the good calls we've made, and some bad ones - example, selling PPG after a 100% gain seemed like a really good idea, until it continued up another 50% and stayed there - had I simply bought the SPY back in 2010 and done absolutely NOTHING in terms of watching the market or worrying about individual stocks - I would have more wealth today. (Many assumptions are baked in here, no mistakes or panics along the way, staying the course, etc. Choice of 2010 is because it's the period when I made big changes and 4-5 years is a good time frame to consider IMO).
It's not a bad thing to sell a little "at the top and buy back lower" if it keeps you in the market and keeps you from making bigger mistakes, but do not expect to achieve superior returns in doing so. That's the lesson I've learned (the hard way) and there is plenty of research to support it.
For the effort it takes to follow the market, pick individual stocks, stress these decisions, etc., I'd expect significant outperformance vs. the index which I can buy and forget....otherwise why bother and why take the risk?
Anyway, hope some find this helpful...there is a component of luck involved too, we all get lucky from time to time.Nov 5, 2014. 11:09 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
And in trading in this style, what return are you achieving?
I have yet to see any system of trading that can consistently outperform investing, so I'm curious why you would try to time the market.

What Do You Do If Share Prices Drop 20%? [View article]
BUT...it's really easy to sit back and say, "yeah I'll buy when it drops 20%" but most people start to buy into the fear in the media, that's it's going even lower, and hey at only $10 a trade, why not sell a little more and just buy back lower tomorrow? It has "momentum" and my "indicators" are turning bearish - OH, there goes the 200-day moving average, look out the sky IS falling...sell, sell, sell!
And that's how you get wiped out. NEVER sell, just add opportunistically, a bit of luck also helps, and you'll do great.Oct 22, 2014. 11:45 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Stay In The Market: 10 Days Out Can Cost You 40% Of Your Return [View article]
Take a look at how many people are able to do better than 9% over long stretches. Do you think you can generate 11%+ annual returns by selling near the top and re-buying low? (for the risk of missing out, you better have upside above that average.)
If I can get 9% ave every year it will be more than enough (yes this assumes past performance repeats, but lacking a crystal ball, what tells you it won't?).
Meanwhile, contrary to my own advice, my financial advisor thinks he can sell a bit near the top and buy lower...looks good so far, but the harder part is buying back in. I'm guessing I'll be buying him a new car from the commissions, but won't really receive greater returns. It's hard to track what you've missed.
Never selling would be my preference...just add when stocks are cheap with the cash that builds up via earnings, dividends, etc.Oct 16, 2014. 09:50 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
To Buy High-Yielding McDonald's Or Not To Buy? [View article]
What I find interesting is you are looking at slow-growing, dividend stocks that yield over 3% and I assume by "the market" you meant the S&P500 which yields ~2%. You won't outperform the S&P500 over shorter time-frames during bull-runs like 2013 with a more conservative strategy, in general. I'm wondering why you expected the FA to do better than the market (if my assumptions are correct)?
I'm in a similar situation, where my portfolio did much better than "the market" until 2013, and now lags.....this may change, however, if the current pullback continues.Oct 14, 2014. 01:30 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

As you say...."under your stop price.." is exactly the problem with the sell-stop order. He didn't say whether it was market or limit, but it's not the strategy I would use to protect profits.
Yeah, maybe buying puts and sell calls to finance them will work, but this will drag on your returns over time. Just look at how well funds using "options" perform - badly.
Hey, options are fun to trade, they make you feel really smart when you make some money with them, but the vast majority of people trying to work these events lose money.

I have yet to see ANY proof that ANY day trader can obtain returns better than an investor (investor defined as someone buying into the business).
I've done it myself and I see great potential for showing all of my good, positive moves (only) while neglecting to mention the overall return over 5+ years.
Even day trading books typically tell you up front not to expect great returns. Is there any PROOF that it's possible? (Note: not interested in opinions or antidotes, I want real proof.)Aug 26, 2014. 09:05 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Is the trailing stop because you want to sell while it's still "high enough" and then get back in once it is "low enough"?
It is an interesting point that previous launches have been met with selling, but the past repeats until it doesn't, so in current market conditions there's no way to tell if the event will follow the "average"....though I'll bet it goes DOWN and then UP and then Down/Up as millions try to time it. Good luck slipping that bid in.
You could sell calls to limit your upside, or puts to provide insurance for others at your expense....or just hold the shares, add if you get enough weakness, sit back and make a lot of money over the next 10 years.Aug 26, 2014. 08:58 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment

Texas City Twister
Episode Reviews (7)
Not the Underwear!
One of the best of Season 2! This episode was hilarious. As with some of the first few of Season 1, all the characters played a good role and everyone gave laughs. The egg bit was hilarious and the part where Hank (did not) lose his underwear is a classic KOTH moment. Right from the start (6AM already that boy ain't right) til the end with the underwear this episode had me laughing. Even the way Hank "told" Peggy to go to Hell was typical Hank style. Love it, and this whole episode.moreless
Funny stuff.
I thought that Hank was really being a jerk. It was funny watching him want to move Luanne back to her trailer home. In a way, I felt bad for Luanne being forced to move back against her own will. It was actually very much a stupid and selfish choice by Hank. The episode had some good comedy, funny bits, and some decent writing. I liked the fact that it was funny and also very much well put together. My favorite moment was when Bobby tried to throw an egg in the wind and it hit him in the face. Thank you.moreless
I really hope u guys r kidding this show has to be soooooo gay like for one thing man the drawing just look like ****
only time i ever laughed at watching king of the hill was this episode, 1. bobby threw an egg and it hit him in the face and 2. the old lady has the same **** voice like man mike judge u think u would have some lady clicking around for her one **** line but no u need to get one of the main characters that is in that scene to do a voice for an old **** lady man that was like the funniest **** i have ever even coming from such a big budget cartoon man like come on mike your better then that haha so the 9 i'm giving it is because only funny episode ever. go bobby hill!moreless
Hank behaves coldly and selfishly and nearly learns his leason in the worst way when a tornado hits.
While I constantly rip on Hank Hill for his many faults and his personality, this episode shows the side of him that allows me not to absolutely condem him.
The fact that he was willing to risk his life for Peggy and Luanne allows me to see Hank as human (as far as a cartoon character is concerned) with some measure of redeming qualities.
Plus, I love the part of Dale driving towards the tornado and freaking out when a drop of water hits the windshield.
What I like the most about the older episodes of this series it that they were still funny and were worth staying past the commercial breaks.moreless
a texas tornado touchdown.
Hank is tired of Luanne living at the house so he suggest that she move back to her trailer. Luanne does not want to go back because of the bad memories of the night when her parents killed eachother. so hank and the gang go to take her to the trailer and flip it over since it was tipped for years. later on peggy and hank get in fight over luanne staying or going so he tells peggy to go to he**. she leaves with luanne and heads tom the trailer park. meanwhile there is a bad storm brewing and according to nancy there could be tornadoes. so hank goes to save the girls and as he leaves the tornado touches down and dale and boomhauer tagalong to catch a tornado video. once they arrive at the trailer park after almost being held up by bill and the rest of the army. an old lady sees bobby peggy and luanne trying to escape with hank and suggest that they get in her storm shelter. hank is trapped up a flagpole and the tornado is destroying the trailer park and blows all of his clothes off as the storm weakens hank heads into the storm shelter. when its done luanne says she saw uncle hank was naked but both peggy and him say he still had his boxer shorts but as the episode ends we see them in a tree flapping in the breeze. a coolchris44 review. king of the kill is a great show. i lhave a crush on gloria and kelly lombardo too.moreless
Our hero Hank Hill has to confront and deter Luanne's landlord from her trailer park home, Shiny Pines. He's ready to let Luanne move back into the trailer, but he's alone in this battle to get rid a his longtime houseguest/neice.
Hank's got a truck and a winch and the boys are going along for the ride! Dale, Bill and Boomhauer are happy to help Hank un-tip Luanne's trailer so she can move out of Hank's house. Later, Bill puts on his Army uniform and shows a different side during a time of crisis.
If Luanne was a lightbulb, she'd be a little on the dull side. A while back, when Luanne's momma got shipped off to jail for stabbing her spouse, Luanne moved into Hank's den and never moved back out. The assumption she made was that the fact that her parents' trailer was tipped over, that she was in fact homeless and unable to move back into the trailer. Hank gets a home visit from a bill collector from the trailor park; he's looking for Luanne to pay her back-rent. Hank then discovers the true: Luanne is an idiot. So hank loads up the fellas and heads out to fix up the trailor for Luanne to move back into it; this upsets both Peggy and Luanne greatly...Luanne likes living in the Hill house. In an unexpected plot twist, a tornado is heading straight for the trailor park and Peggy along with Luanne are sitting ducks. Tune in for a really revealing look at Hank Hill towards the end of this episode.moreless
Funny episode. It is really funny when strong winds blow hank's clothes off.
A good episode off king of the Hill. A guy comes knocing on thier door telling them they have to pay a bill for a trailer. Luanne use to live in one but it tipped over. Hank makes her go back but she doesn't want to. Hank and the guys go try and flip it over. This is a funny part. They get it up. Luanne moves into the trailer and Peggy drives her. A storm comes.

Amazon.com Review
Teller is an American magician, illusionist, comedian, writer, and is the smaller, quieter half of the comedy magic duo Penn & Teller, along with Penn Jillette.
Teller: I presume your new book is all about me, right?
Penn Jillette: We've done three magic books together and I wrote two novels without you. I wanted to put something out there that was all me, my ideas and beliefs and take on things that would be thought-provoking and funny. I do a lot of op-ed stuff and TV pundit stuff. I'm always the nut on those panels that they go to for a joke, but end up being the guy the host says "Hey, Penn's a whack job, but he's right." Oh, and I guess I talk about you, too.
Teller: I'm going to pretend to ask you about the book, as if I haven't read it yet. So Penn, what's your book about?
Penn: It's a pretty funny look my life and all the goofy things that are important to me: skepticism, truth, atheism, our show, my family and friends, libertarianism. I share funny stories about those things and talk about my beliefs and even tell one about the skin falling of my scrotum. Oh, and I guess I talk about you, too.
Teller: I love the Siegfried & Roy story in the book.
Penn: I think it's my favorite and it really captures the essence of the book. It's funny, nutty and from my heart.
Teller: Do you have to be an atheist to read this book?
Penn: God No! (get it?). I'm very respectful of Christians in the book. And it's not all about being an atheist. It's a funny, humorous book about a lot of stuff that goes on in the life and head of a nutty Vegas magician. There are lots of heavy books out there about religion and Atheism. But this one might be the feel good one. Too bad Oprah's Book Club has shut down.
Teller: Why should I buy this book if you've already given me a free copy?
Penn: Well, you owe me $24.99.
