People are willing to believe things that others tell them,but they are not willing to explore for themselves and find information and make up their own minds. That is why there are still so many people that are afraid of tarot cards.

Museum Highlights
Help Wanted
About Us
Photo Galleries
As a life long kite collector who owned a kite shop in the
1970's and organized kite festivals in south Kent, it was a logical
extension to think about introducing kites to an island with such great
wind and flat land surface.
The museum informally opened on June 28th, 2008.
I claim no special gift as a kite flyer, kite maker, or kite
historian or expert - Kites are fun and they make people happy.
For me, that is enough
The Kite Museum is a family owned museum - for families. I
say family which really means it is my passion, my 11 year old daughter
really likes the idea and is looking forward to running it her way in
the future; and
my wife, well, lets just say that after 26 years of marriage, she has
learned to resign herself to certain things in life. But every
once in a while when she thinks we are not looking, we do catch her
smiling as Ashley and I go about our silliness. At least until
we return home and she still can't get into the garage or basement.
The mission of the museum is:
* Preserve kites and related knowledge
* Provide opportunities for people to be exposed to kites, their
history and future
* Help teach the making of kite and related items
* To help preserve North American paper kites
* To use kites to bridge cultural understanding, environmental
awareness and family togetherness
* To develop and introduce opportunities and means for physically
challenged to participate in kiting
... and simply stated - to share joy.
First of all, please understand, our vision is not the traditional
image and definition of an "institutional museum".
Like a museum, we will have the traditional housing for displays and
preservation, but we shall put most of our focus on traveling
exhibits, inter-active programming and going to where the people are,
rather than trying to get people to come to the museum. Factoid:
Less than 4% of North Americans have ever been to a museum
We are committed to developing a working model for a "sustainable"
kiting experience/institution which shall survive my passing and
continue into the future. If we can do that, then we will have a
model for others to do the same in their country such as perhaps in
France and Germany someday.
Our vision is to create the opportunity to create "wow". "Wow"
in terms of "I had one of those"; "that is so cool"; "I didn't know
that"; "I did it"; "you won't believe what we saw"; and more.
What started as a means to create some environmentally friendly
activities for families to generate free publicity for a small island
community has taken on a life of its own - in a good way. Five
years from now, we hope that we have made a contribution to preserving
this important historical human activity, as well to increase the
awareness and participation into the future.
Enjoy - with the emphasis on "joy".
Thank you.
George, Sara, & Ashley Paisiovich

Saxscape Mouthpieces are designed for professional sax players, by a small team of sax-playing Coltrane fanatics. The "Classic" mouthpiece designs go to the roots of Otto Link, Bobby Dukoff, and Selmer designs, to make modern pieces that provide a great foundation for the styles of the old masters. The "Original" designs take those roots and grow them in interesting directions to provide cool places for contemporary players to create their own stories.
Regardless of which style works the best for you, all geometric aspects of the mouthpieces, including the facing curve and baffle, are shaped to make them as fun as possible to play. By fun, I mean: plays evenly up and down the horn; standard 48mm/2 tenor facing length; no "weird" or stuffy notes; great intonation; tip curve matches most popular reeds; perfectly symmetrical rails; the widest possible dynamic range; blowing resistance tailored to the mouthpiece style.
The Saxscape Live tenor sax mouthpiece has that classic Otto Link core sound, without sacrificing sheer volume and tone quality. Brilliant, and fat. We took the Florida Link design and pushed it to its limits.
The HR Profile Red River is available again! If you need a big fat sound for a blues or R&B gig, you've got to try this one out. It works great for jazz gigs as well. There are several in stock as of today (Saturday Sept. 5, 2015) at Liberty Music in Mountainside New Jersey.
The Saxscape Downtown tenor sax mouthpiece was designed after closely studying Danny Walsh's Dukoff D9 mouthpiece which he got from Bob Mintzer. The Downtown is as bright as you want to be, without turning into just a pure paint-peeler. This is similar to Brecker's Dukoff, pre-Guardala.Ken Barry plays the Downtown .110 SP
The Xtra Dark tenor sax mouthpiece has a dark, complex core, inspired by Selmer hard rubber mouthpieces, and the sounds of guys like Rich Perry and Stan Getz.
Alto, soprano, and bari mouthpieces are currently in development.
Ken Barry studied sax with Gary Campbell and David Liebman, and has been making mouthpieces since 2005. He studied music and engineering at University of Miami, got a degree in Fine Art from Florida State University, played professionally in Kansas City, then moved to the Northeast to pursue musical instrument and accessory development. He takes high quality proprietary mouthpiece blanks and hand finishes them to exacting specifications.
Nick Franciosa studied with Bob Berg, Lenny Pickett, and Steve Grossman, and used to work for Dave Guardala as his horn tester. He has been instrumental in guiding Saxscape mouthpiece development for the last 8 years.
Danny Walsh is a professional NYC-based sax player. He has played and recorded with Lenny White, Donald Brown, Mulgrew Miller, The Allman Brothers, and Aerosmith. He's been working with Saxscape on designs for the last 3 years.
Mouthpiece Material: Saxscape mouthpieces are made from Delrin, a synthetic resin developed in the 1960's as a replacement material for metal. Delrin is extremely tough and holds shapes very accurately. It's also FDA approved for food-safety.
Mouthpiece Body Design: The HR profile is designed to be the same size as a hard rubber Otto Link, a standard size chosen for the convenience of finding a suitable ligature.
How They're Made: Ken Barry makes the mouthpiece blanks from bar stock Delrin with custom manual and CNC machines, and does the finish work by hand. He play tests each piece before sending it out, and then the pieces are quality tested again by Nick Franciosa before they are approved for sale. More tip openings will be available in the future. Updates will be here and at my Facebook page.
Pricing: All tenor mouthpieces are $350.
Mouthpieces in stock:Liberty Music in Mountainside, New Jersey is an Authorized Saxscape Retailer. Please contact Brian by email at email@example.com for sales assistance.
Online sales: Please contact me by email at email@example.com, or call 570-350-5843 for availability of pieces I have here at the workshop.
Returns/Exchanges: You have 2 weeks to try out the piece, and either return it for a refund or exchange for a different size or style of mouthpiece. Please use a tooth pad when first trying it out to keep it in the best condition.
Ken Barry, email@example.com, phone 570-350-5843

What year is your Macbook Pro? Newer computers do not support XP.
ds store Mar 1, 2012 7:10 AM
in response to Whitemamba7
Your solution if you need to run XP is to use virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels Desktop (or even Virtualbox)
What this will do is run XP in a window in OS X like a program/file which you can save multiple "states" or "snapshots" of the entire OS so you can revert to or only update the pristine/trusted copies.
Benefit is you don't have to reboot to use XP, downside is there is a performance hit as Windows doesn't have direct access to the hardware. So only extremely light OpenGl 3D games perhaps may run depending upon your hardware, which a Intel Core 2 Duo machine is dated, thus has a older/less powerful video card.
I can run the light OpenGl using Cube 2 or Nexius Classic at about acceptable 45-55 fps in Windows 7 64bit in VMFusion, but then my machine scores 30 on Cinebench graphics and has 4GB of RAM.
You need RAM to run another operating system and it's programs, 4GB is good, anymore is better.
Concerning Bootcamping XP, Apple isn't offering hardware drivers, software and a hybrid MBR to work with your EFI/GPT for XP. You couldn't run XP or Vista in separate partition even if you did it manually somehow. There may be third party sources of hacks and whatnot to do it, but security/safety and your own skills/judgement come into play, don't expect Apple to support or hold your hand.
XP is about to expire anyway, Windows 7 is a remarkable improvement, it's no OS X, but given the radical changes in OS X 10.7 and Microsoft's history of supporting their operating systems with security/stability updates for 10 years compared to Apple's only 4 years (possibly even less come this summer with 10.8) makes Win 7 a excellent long term choice as a Bootcamp OS option on your Mac.
You will be interested in a free piece of OS X based software called WinClone (Macupdate.com) which allows you to clone your Win 7 Bootcamp for backup/restore.
You also be interested in a free to use/donationware called Carbon Copy Cloner which can clone your OS X partition (virtual machine OS's as well) to a external blank GUID/OS X ext (j) drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
With those two software combinations (or just CCC) you will be able to extract maximum use of your hardware and restore either OS without rebuilding or TimeMachine hassles.

in response to ds store
Thank you both for your replies.
My MBPro is from 2011, so, yes, it might be too recent.
I'll try the virtualisation solution as I wasn't planning on buying windows 7. I might try using the beta version of Windows 8... Who knows??
Thanks again for your tips!
l1upl Aug 22, 2012 3:25 AM
in response to Whitemamba7
if you really want to install windows xp on your MBP. What I did was, I went back words on my OS, I was running SNOW leopard as my main os, and now im using leopard os, which has bootcamp version 2.0 preinstalled. you should have no problems with this setup. or you could just do what @ds store mentioned up above. I hope this helps. good luck!

Bio-genovesium is a liquid compound that is used aboard Federation starships that is able to break down organic components of humanoid waste products. It also has the ability to transform these organic molecules into different compounds.
Bio-genovesium was one of a list of compounds that Lieutenant Commander Data and Deanna Troi searched through in an attempt to find one that could produce enough energy to release the USS Enterprise-D and an alien ship from the Tyken's Rift in 2367. (TNG: "Night Terrors")
The text from the okudagram which displayed information about bio-genovesium states: "Energetic carbon-based biological reactant, used for in [sic] the bio-neutralization of organic waste products prior to electrolytic fractioning and recycling. Stored in liquid form."
This compound was named for script supervisor Cosmo Genovese. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)

"Regulatory Risks of Stem Cell Treatments"
Jim Miles, Esq., and G. Scott Loftin, Esq., of Miles & Peters, PC
Submitted for 1 general CLE credit
Multiple Colorado providers, including physician outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital outpatient departments, have started to offer various stem cell treatments to patients for a variety of ailments. The stem cells utilized are not fetal stem cells, but rather are adipose stem cells harvested from the adult patient. Vendor and consultant encouragement of these treatments have increased utilization. Commercial insurance reimbursement is sometimes available, and many patients are gladly paying themselves for these therapies. This presentation will describe FDA regulatory compliance risks of offering these therapies.
COST: The cost for CBA Health Section members is $15.00 for a box lunch, and $10.00 without lunch. The cost for non-Health Law Section members is $20.00 for a box lunch, and $15.00 without lunch. Please specify if you would like a vegetarian lunch. You can also attend by teleconference for $10.00. Students are welcome to attend the program free of charge. Please RSVP to the Colorado Bar Association at firstname.lastname@example.com or online at: http://www.cobar.org/cle/item.cfm?eventid=HEALTH091813Please be sure you are logged into the website prior to registering online. Reservations must be received by Noon on Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Any cancellations received after Noon on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 will be charged for the cost of the program.
Please note that as of April 2, 2012, the Colorado and Denver Bar Associations will be able to validate parking at the CBA parking garage only for volunteer activities, such as Committee/Section meetings. We are simply not in a position to validate parking for attendance at CLE programs on either the 3rd or 9th floor. Parking in the 1900 Grant parking garage costs $1.00 for each 20 minutes with a maximum of $8.00. There are also some additional hourly lots around the building to the East and Southeast, as well as free two hour street parking. Be aware, however, that the parking bloodhounds do patrol on a fairly regular basis and, from April to November, street sweeping restrictions are in place so heed the signs.

A Summary Of What Hedge Funds Are Buying And Selling
Large speculators reduced ther S&P 500 positioning to net short this week and their NASDAQ longs to a one-year low as BofAML reports on CFTC data. Macros funds decreased their long exposure to S&P500 and NASDAQ to now hold short exposure. They also decreased their long exposure to US Dollar (raising their AUD longs to a record high) and maintained their long exposure to 10-year Treasuries. They decreased their long exposure to commodities and increased their long exposure to EM. Across all asset classes, positioning is at extremes.
Significant HF moves across asset classes, based on CFTC data
Equities. Large specs decreased S&P 500 to net short and reduced NASDAQ longs. They also increased Russell 2000 shorts last week
Agriculture. Large specs increased their long positioning in Soybean futures but decreased longs in Corn and Wheat futures
Metals. Large specs decrease Gold and Silver longs and increased Copper shorts. They maintained Platinum and Palladium longs.
Energy. Large specs increased their Crude longs and Gasoline longs. They also increased Natural Gas shorts but Heating Oil shorts.
FX. Large specs increased their EUR, AUD and GBP longs. They decreased their JPY shorts and MXN longs position.
Interest Rates. Large specs increased their short positions in 10-year while increasing their long position in 30-yr. They also reduced 2-year shorts
One can't help but see this positioning and wonder just who the big boys are selling to - as we noted here,
Based on Bloomberg's Smart Money Flow indicator, there is a very significant amount of distribution going on... the question is just who is soaking up the smart money selling? Company buybacks, Johnny 5, or a greater-fool retail investor?
Perhaps this chart from Lance Roberts at STA Wealth provides some color for who?
However, the idea that individual investors are still "out of the market" should be taken with a bit of caution. The chart below is data compiled by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) which surveys it membership on portfolio allocation. The data is compiled and released monthly.
With cash hovering at the lowest levels since the "Tech Wreck," and equity exposure at the highest, investors are more than just "warming up" to equities. They are effectively "all in" with respect to the financial markets.

I think hedge funds could completely go to cash and nothing much would happen. The FED has printed SO much money that it doesn't matter any more.
So what? Do the Hedge Funds make the markets today? The exact question on which you gave an answer which came to my mind first.
Bend over and assume the position
replace "shorts" with "retail" as this is really starting to look top-heavy
Meh - release the Kracken.
Meh, what's up Doc? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X--Ly7pL8aw The exact question on which you gave an answer which didn't came to my mind.
Long the AU!
We shall print on the beaches, we shall print on the landing grounds, we shall print in the fields and in the streets, we shall print in the hills; we shall never admit we destroyed America.
who are they selling to?? retail, of course. despite talk of 'jitters' or nervousness from the teevee, retail hasnt lifted a finger--as they have been trained to do nothing, and employment and growth are just around the corner, along with better weather.---anyone else notice how the msm talks about better weather from Feb to March, but discounts the yoy issues? of course its better in March than Feb!
each month the marginal cash to buy is decreased. consider the concept of the 'tipping point' or even 'event horizon'. retail has now been 'taught' that 8% decline in nasdaq and 4% in spx is nothing. major b/ds continue to tell them to be overweight equities and underweight duration, despite the past 100 days of information. the most common 'reason' is that the last times signif multiple expansion has occurred, mkts continued to be green for another 12-24 months, like in 1986, 2000, and 1991.
also these charts are a week old and their data is a week old, so really were looking a couple weeks back, not this past Friday's ending data.
All of this is background noise....just BTFD. Yellen & Co. will never allow a signaificant decline so there is no risk in being long equities...just BTFD
How REACTIVE.
Buy whatever is rising TODAY or looks like it MIGHT go up in the next five minutes...
Are these percentages being diluted because a secret buyer is consuming the market?
In other words, when these guys start beta chasing again, the S&P will break out above 2000. If we break 1897/1900 on the S&P, we'll run another 100 - 150 points. Still way too much money in the system.
Last week I let my trailing stops (which I wish were tighter) and targets get hit to flatten out b/c I'm not trading this week and early next week, with one exception: I'll be watching gold during the Comex session. I bought some puts b/c I think they're gonna flush it out soon and I don't want to deal with a stop. If I'm lucky and it happens in the "crush metals" hour I'll look at shorting it at $1275. If there's not an instant reversal I'm thinking we make it to the lower half of the $1200s and then we'll see what's happening with the dollar and the Fed. We could be in for another leg lower in the metals unless the dollar rolls over soon. I'm done with the long side unless it clears and holds in the $1330s.
With Fed day and NFP next week I'm hoping we see a continued squeeze in equities to setup another short. I'd love to see the NQ peak out anywhere from 3580 to 3630 to form the perfect right shoulder. A loss of 3400 is total devastation for the NQ. That's where you can get aggressive.

Prep Roundup
More Sierra College Gridders Moving On To Div. I Ranks
By: Mike Ray, Gold Country News Services
Colfax High Product Mike Cody signs with UC Davis
While the pickings were slim for foothills area high school Division I football signings last week, let's not forget that Sierra College's football program continued its recent trend of churning out scholarship caliber athletes. Since the 2004 season, Sierra has had no fewer than 38 athletes ink scholarships to further their playing careers and more importantly their educations, Included in the schools that Sierra has had players move on to are Florida, Oregon, SMU, UNLV, Hawaii, San Diego State, and San Jose State. Last week, a total of six Sierra players signed letters of intent including the following: Paul Vassallo (Reno), Arizona; Perry Jackson (Laguna Creek), San Diego State; Deonte Williams (Pleasant Grove), San Diego State; Mike Cody (Colfax), UC Davis; Leki Fuapau (Rio Linda) Idaho State and Brandon Michalkiewicz (Granite Bay), Cal Poly-SLO. "It's a good crop moving on," said Sierra coach Jeff Tisdel. "I think they'll all do well at the next level." Speaking of Sierra, Tisdel also noted that next year's Valley Conference make-up will see a change with West Hills of Coalinga leaving and Modesto JC moving in. In other Wolverines notes, Tisdel has a trio of quarterbacks working out this spring including Sam Martinez, who was Casa Roble's quarterback in the Rams' 13-0 2008 season; Tanner Mathias, a 6-5 220-pounder out of Bear River, and Cole Saunders, who graduated from Del Oro in 2008 and is back playing football after accepting a baseball scholarship to Nevada. Regional Fields Increase Something new for prep basketball followers this post season will be the increasing of divisional brackets for the NorCal Regional Tournament which is set to run March 9 thru March 20. The Regional Tournament will then lead into the CIF State Championships set for March 26-27 in Bakersfield. While the regional brackets will increase, there are parameters that the CIF will be following. Sections with more than 25 schools in a division, will be allowed to send four teams to regional competition. The CIF Sac-Joaquin Section, which has 30 or more schools in all five of its basketball division will thus qualify four teams for regional play. However, the idea that each division will be a 16-team bracket is something of a misnomer. The Central Coast Section, which covers the San Francisco peninsula, San Jose and the Santa Cruz-Monterey area, has notified the CIF that it will be sending just its top two teams to regional competition. "There's a good chance in some divisions of having say 10 to 12 teams with byes involved," said assistant Sac-Joaquin commissioner John Williams. "Each division could shape up differently." Blankenship Lands At Aptos A few years back veteran prep football coach Randy Blankenship came within a whisker of being handed the grid reins at Placer High in Auburn. And, after stepping down at Madera North following last season, it wasn't known that Blankenship would again coach anywhere at all. However, the 58-year-old Blankenship was named last week as the new head coach at Aptos High after the school failed in an effort to have Ernie Cooper of Granite Bay return to his old stomping grounds. Blankenship, who has won 202 games in a 25-year career, has coached at Nevada Union, Clovis West, Fallbrook, Capistrano Valley, Granbury (Texas), and Madera. In 1998 he was the Cal-Hi Sports State Coach of the Year.

Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Tokyo, Japan; Bali, Indonesia; Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Kabul, Afghanistan; and London, (England) United Kingdom, October 1-14, 2013.
In Tokyo, October 2-3, Secretary Kerry joined Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel for the U.S.-Japan Security Consultative Committee (SCC) meeting. The last SCC was held in June 2011 in Washington, DC. The meeting represents the next step in further strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance, providing an opportunity to build on our already broad and comprehensive bilateral relationship.
On October 4, Secretary Kerry continued on to Bali, Indonesia for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Ministerial Meeting (AMM) and other APEC-related meetings. APEC is the premier forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade, and investment in the Asia-Pacific region. Promoting trade and investment in the Asia Pacific remains a key component of the U.S. rebalance policy. The Secretary participated in a broad range of multilateral and bilateral meetings with officials from APEC member economies.
Secretary Kerry then traveled to Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei for the U.S.-ASEAN Summit (fifth U.S.-ASEAN Leaders Meeting), and the East Asia Summit, October 9-10. Engagement in the region's multilateral architecture is central to the Obama Administration's rebalance to Asia. While there, Secretary Kerry also participated in a series of bilateral meetings.
In Malaysia on October 10-11, Secretary Kerry met with Malaysian officials to highlight our growing bilateral ties with Malaysia, and attended the Global Entrepreneurship Summit. Now in its fourth year, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit is an initiative President Obama announced in 2009 to spur job creation through entrepreneurship by connecting young innovators to resources, ideas, and each other.
Secretary Kerry visited Kabul, Afghanistan on October 11 to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Secretary Kerry traveled October 12-14 to London, U.K.

To mark the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War, the Lowndes
County Historical Society has created an original Civil War display
featuring 20 artifacts from the year 1861, the year the first shots were
fired at Fort Sumter.
Historians say 1861 is also the year the railroad first came through
"Thanks to the railroad coming through Valdosta, this location will be
instrumental to different things such as prisoners being shipped through
Valdosta and the rail hub from the Battle of Olustee," says
Jeremy Petrella, a Valdosta Civil War historian and VSU professor.
Next year's Lowndes Historical Civil War display will portray the year

Casino Countermeasures
Posted by Michael Dalton
on 6 October 1998, at 7:04 p.m.
Since my battle with Doogie over the past month on RGB my interest has been spurred further about the latest high-tech methods casinos are using to catch card counters and keep them off their tables. I've known for several years that casinos were using some quite sophisticated methods in an attempt to catch the higher stakes professional player. Casinos are not only using sophisticated "in-house" technologies such as "card counter" catcher software (e.g., Blackjack Survey Voice and Blackjack Tracker) but many of the upper-scale joints have subscribed to services such as Griffin Investigations which monitors and maintains huge databases of card counters, cheats, and blacklisted players. Face recognition software appears to be in use and I am convinced that this technology has finally come of age and can potentially be very dangerous.
To start off, here is a repost of part of a reply I made on RGB. I hope to generate some discussion here from other players who have had experience with these types of casino countermeasures and would appreciate any feedback from any one out there.
Doug Grant said, "> More con man bullshit. Please define the "act" that
> overcomes cooperative surveillance and bet averaging
> detection methods. There is no ACT con man that can
> circumvent real world casino card counter detection methods.
I have never said that there was a specific "ACT" that could overcome casino counter-measures of this type "if" they are directed against you. If you are the selected victim of cooperative "casino" surveillance (the sharing of information) it means you have played far too long in a participating casino and for bet levels that were just too high for them to continue to take your action without monitoring. If you are confirmed or highly suspected of being a "higher stakes" card-counter you run the risk of being added to the casino's black book and/or the Griffin Investigations information network. Detection by bet averaging requires data input using the latest "counter catcher" software. From what I understand, data input is usually performed "after the fact" using tapes of the player's play. Even at the higher limits, if you limit your play in any one casino you may still have a good chance to beat their system.
No doubt, if you are a high stakes professional card-counter you must be aware of these counter-measures. The good news is that not all casinos share this type of information and not all casinos use the Griffin books. More good news is that these counter-measures take personal attention on the part of the casino and considerable effort to perform. Do you really think the casino is going to spend time analyzing the play of a $10 to $100 player when there are many players betting $25 to $500 in the house? Do you really think they actually have the resources to do this?
How do you overcome these counter-measures? The first thing that is required is to know what you are up against. In my opinion, I believe Doug Grant has lied about how extensive these counter-measures are. Not all casinos use these methods (they do cost the casinos money) and those that do use them generally only use them on selected "higher stakes" players. If you are a small to medium bet player you most likely will not have to worry about any of these measures since the casino doesn't have the man-power to waste time on you. Obviously, if you play at high stakes you will be required to completely conceal your identity from the casinos, have a great act, and be able to make technical camouflage plays that won't impact your advantage harshly. But even with a great act and camouflage you may not be able to overcome directed survellience on you and a software product that informs the pit that there is a 99% chance that you are counting cards successfully and have a reasonable advantage over them. That means you must select your casinos carefully and only play them for short periods of time. You must never let your guard down and even after being barred you must act as if you don't know why. Never give them a hard time and in 6 months (with another identity and face) give them another shot -- possibly at slightly lower limits. The goal, however, is to never get barred. Any other comments from me on this board discussing this topic compromises not only my potential play at higher limits (my current personal bet range is $10 to several hands of hundred) but my members as well.
Without a doubt, professional blackjack play is very difficult these days. The best news of all, however, is that they can't catch "all" of us. And for recreational small to medium bet players, conditions in some areas are better then they have been in many years. As an example, at this very moment, a casino in this country is actually offering a game with a significant player advantage and it's been available for several months now! All you need is basic strategy to beat this game folks.

Borrowers are encouraged to gather documents before they contact a lender or loan servicer. Recommended documents include:
Paycheck stubs or other income-related documents.Recent income tax return.Information about any second loan secured by the property.Account balances and monthly minimum payments on credit cards, student loans, car loans and other debts.Borrowers are encouraged to complete the short self-assessment questionnaire to obtain a preliminary indication of whether they may be eligible for this program.This program will end June 10, 2010, unless that deadline is extended.More information may be found at Making Home Affordable. Borrowers should be very careful to consult only the government's official Web site, as a number of copycat Web sites have sprung up to entrap the unwary. Some sites copy the government Web site and change the telephone number at the top.Fannie Mae Home Affordable Refinance rulesObjective: Fannie Mae's Home Affordable Refinance program is intended to help borrowers refinance to reduce their monthly principal-and-interest payment or switch from a risky loan product such as a short-term, adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, or from an interest-only mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage.To qualify, the borrower must have an existing mortgage that is owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae. To find out whether Fannie Mae owns or guarantees your loan:
Call (800) 732-6643.Send an e-mail.Call your loan servicer.Search for your loan on Fannie Mae's Web site. Be sure to read Fannie Mae's FAQs about the loan lookup service.Borrowers can apply through any lender that has been approved by Fannie Mae and authorized to offer this program. However, some borrowers may find that they need to refinance through their original lender or loan servicer. (Lenders should refer to "Announcement 09-04: Home Affordable Refinance -- New Refinance Options for Existing Fannie Mae Loans" for more information.)The new loan may be a fixed-rate mortgage or an ARM with an initial fixed-rate period of at least five years. The payback period may be as long as 40 years.So-called "jumbo-conforming" or high-balance loans that meet loan-limit requirements may be eligible.Vacation/second-home and investment properties may be eligible.The borrower may be able to finance closing costs or take out cash of up to 2 percent of the mortgage amount or $2,000, whichever is less. Fannie Mae's guidelines state that this cash-out allowance "is intended to provide lenders with operational efficiencies to account for differences in payoff amounts or closing cost items and is not intended to be added to every limited cash-out refinance transaction for the sole purpose of providing cash to the borrower."The borrower cannot take out cash to reduce the balance on or pay off a second loan or home-equity line of credit, or HELOC.The borrower must have sufficient income to afford the new loan payments. A verbal verification of employment is required. If the borrower is self-employed, this verification may be obtained from a certified public accountant, or CPA, regulatory agency or other "disinterested third party." The lender may request a copy of a business license or other form of verification that the business exists. A paycheck stub, recent tax return or other form of income documentation may be required as well.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 13, 2012) – The American Chemistry Council's (ACC) board of directors last week approved the membership of two manufacturing companies and the establishment of four chemical product and market sector groups.
"Companies and product and sector groups join ACC because they see first-hand the value that we deliver throughout the entire chemical value chain," said Cal Dooley, President and CEO of ACC. "Our 2011 achievements—which included stopping the enactment of misguided new ozone standards that would hinder job growth and investment, to advancing reform of EPA's IRIS chemical risk assessment program—all deliver bottom-line business value in what remains a challenging economic climate," he added.
The companies approved last week, ChemOrganics of Houston, Texas and Pinova Holdings of Brunswick, Georgia, continue to expand the diversity of ACC's membership. Together they represent products ranging from pharmaceutical intermediates and personal care products to specialty resins serving the adhesive, construction and agriculture markets.
Also joining ACC and operating under its Chemical Products and Technology division were several self-funded product and market sector groups representing interests as diverse as lithium materials, silicones and polyethylene films.
In addition to its industry-wide advocacy, ACC provides product and market sector groups with comprehensive issue management services including regulatory, legislative and marketplace advocacy; research; legal; and communication services.
Squire Sanders (US) LLP was also approved as an ACC associate member. Associate members are non-manufacturing service providers to the chemical industry.
At what was its first meeting of the year, the ACC board also announced its 2013 officers. They include:
Chairman of the Board
B. Chuck Anderson, President
Occidental Chemical Corporation
Chairman of the Executive Committee
Craig Morrison, Chairman, President and CEO
Momentive Performance Materials Holdings, LLC
Vice Chairman of the Board
Pierre Brondeau
Chairman, President and CEO
FMC Corporation
President and CEO
Cal Dooley, ACC
Chief Financial Officer
Raymond J. O'Bryan, ACC
General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
Dell Perelman, ACC
"Our three member company officers have a long history with ACC and the industry, and will ensure that ACC remains a constructive partner on key public policy initiatives by helping our elected officials understand how our industry helps solve critical challenges facing our nation," said Dooley.

Release Date: 2007-01-31 (NY)
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 2hrs 02min
In 1966, General Motors, the most powerful corporation in the world, sent private investigators to dig up dirt on Ralph Nader, an obscure 32-year-old public interest lawyer, who had written a book critical of one of their cars, the Corvair. The scandal that ensued after the smear campaign was revealed launched Ralph Nader into national prominence and established him as the leader of the modern Consumer Movement. Over the next 30 years and without ever holding public office, Nader built a legislative record that rivals any contemporary president. Many things we take for granted including seat belts, airbags, product labeling, no nukes, even the free ticket you get after being bumped from an overbooked flight are largely due to the efforts of Ralph Nader and his citizen groups. Yet today, when most people hear his name, they think of the man who cost the Democrats the Presidential election. After sustaining his popularity and effectiveness over an unprecedented amount of time, he now has become a pariah even among former friends and allies. "An Unreasonable Man" traces the life and career of Ralph Nader, one of the most unique, important, and controversial political figures of our time.

Developer Notes
Espresso is the main type and blended base of coffee in many parts of the world.
Coffee Guide illustrates those popular espresso drinks with the easy diagrams to help people to know those coffee drinks and make them by themselves.
It Only Gets Better — I've been brewing my own coffee for a while now and this app informed me of things that I don't think I'd ever have thought about. Every cup tastes better and better now. It contains all of the espresso drinks I can think of so now I've started to mess around with those as well.

Working full-time as a hair and make-up artist for almost 5 years, Lou Box works as a freelance make-up artist across a broad spectrum of commercial clients and fashion magazines. Most notably she's worked for Italian Vogue and Vivienne Westwood. She said; "I absolutely love my job and I count myself incredibly lucky to be able to do what I love and make a living out of it. I've had a couple of 'breaks' over the years but I think the real turning point for me was signing with my agency Me&Co. They nurtured me from the very beginning and absolutely enabled me to become the artist I am today."
Lou (pictured right) next to our fashion stylist Karen.
Lou has worked with Simply Be on numerous shoots and we thought it's about time we got to know her a little better and find out what life is really like in this beauty industry…
How did you get started as a make-up artist?
The first time I knew I wanted to pursue a career in make-up was around 10 years ago. I went for some work experience at a photography studio because, at the time, I thought I wanted to study photography and I had no idea that being a make-up artist or a stylist was an actual career option (no one teaches you these things in school!) So as soon as I started to learn about that side of the industry I was sold – of course that's what I wanted to do! I took the advice of a few people I knew and decided to train on-the-job at a make-up counter. I worked for Pout and MAC for a few years, shooting for free as much as possible in my free time and then eventually made the leap into freelance work.
I've always been incredibly lucky to work with strong, encouraging and supportive people who have helped me to pursue this dream career.
What's the best part of your job? And the worst?
By far the best aspect of the job is the people you work with. I've met some of my best friends through this journey and people who have absolutely changed the course of my life. It sounds incredibly cheesy but working with creative, passionate people is such a buzz!
Lou (pictured far right) on shoot with the rest of the Simply Be team. From L-R; Laura – stylist's assistant, Karen – stylist and model Candice Huffine.
The worst aspect is probably the stress that comes with being a freelancer. You have no guarantee of work and obviously, no holiday pay, no sick pay and very few securities or rights. But this does allow an incredible sense of freedom and flexibility.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to become a make-up artist?
My advice would be to spend your money on your kit, not on courses. There are so many incredibly expensive courses out there and at the end of your tuition, all the students tend to come out with very similar portfolios.
Just practice, practice, practice, know your strengths and play to them and test shoot (where all parties work for free for no client, for portfolio shots instead) as much as possible. Beware of scams; never pay to test and keep trying. It takes years.
What's your daily, beauty regime?
My skin is very problematic, sensitive and hormonal. All over the shop really! So I try and take care of it as best I can. I use products that are as natural as possible; extremely gentle cleansers and light moisturisers so I'm not upsetting the balance of my skin. Currently I use coconut oil to remove my make-up (£9 for a jar from Neil's Yard). Then I'll use Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream as a scrub, then Dr Hauschka Toner. I also use REN Evercalm Serum and usually just an eye cream at night (this varies wildly so I can't fully recommend something). For a day cream I'll use the Ren Evercalm moisturiser or Dr Hauschka Melissa Day Cream. There are so many great natural brands out there that aren't too expensive. I really rate Lavera for a lower cost option.
What's a typical day like for you?
There is absolutely no such thing as a typical day! Haha! That's why the job is so great! I can be flying to a location somewhere in the world, getting up incredibly early to get the model ready for a sunrise shoot (early morning and evening lights always look the best). Or I can be just travelling to a studio in London for a more 'typical' day. So that would entail generally starting around 8 to 9am, cleansing and moisturising the model's skin, applying whatever make-up look the client wants, then creating the hairstyle that the client wants to achieve. That usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how complex the look is, how good the model's skin is or how much hair they have.
We then go to set and if all the lighting is set up, we do a test to see if everyone is happy with the lighting, the hair and make-up and all the other details. Then we start to shoot! How many looks we shoot entirely depends on the job. If we're on location then it's usually around 15 a day. In the studio it can vary massively between 10 or less for a high fashion editorial, to 40 for an e-commerce shoot. There's no general start or finishing time, I've worked 20 hour days before, equally I've done shoots that have only taken a couple of hours; it just totally depends on so many factors.
What has been your greatest achievement to date?
Hard to say really. I have individual shots or stories that I love and make me feel really proud but, honestly, I think my best achievement is making a career out of this incredibly fun thing I call work! It's taken me all over the world and afforded me some experiences that I'll remember forever. I. Love. It.
Which beauty trends do you love at the moment?
I will forever be a fan of a liner flick or a red lip – the classics are such for a reason! And I'm a HUGE fan of the resurgence of the Brooke Shields brow; but as for the current trends for SS14 I'm especially loving the bright lips that we've seen at Rag & Bone and House of Holland, so summery!
Brooke Shields fabulous bushy brows of the 80's!
And anyone who knows my make-up style will know how much I love the 'clean' beauty look which has been EVERYWHERE this season – Chloe, Vera Wang, Alexander Wang and Balmain to name but a few. It looks easy but there's a fine art to nailing 'natural'.
Hair trends to keep an eye out for is the reappearance of super straight, super conditioned hair. Dig out the GHDs!
How would you describe your own personal style?
My personal style changes all the time depended on how I'm feeling! But the aesthetic I always come back to is clean and minimal. I LOVE Cos, & Other Stories, Alexander Wang (ahem, not that I can afford that particular lust on a regular basis!) Simply Be and Zara. I love wearing black and layering fine jewellery, especially stacking rings.
I also change my hair colour and style A LOT. It's so much fun and I love that versatility in being able to look so different with so little effort.
Any make-up tips you can share with our readers?
My absolute number one tip is… drum roll… Don't over-do your base! I'd go so far as to say that, unless you have Rosacea or extremely pigmented/patchy skin then you probably don't need foundation at all! Just concealer where you have blemishes, dark circles or redness. I know it sounds a little extreme but honestly, there's nothing worse than visible foundation and there's nothing more beautiful than clean skin!
What one make-up item could you not live without?
Cream Blusher. Without a doubt. Makes you look super fresh and dewy and it doubles as a lip colour! Winner! Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge is my number 1. Kit staple, life staple. LOVE.
Which celebrity would you love to work with/make-over?
Hmmmm I have more of a desire to work with models than celebrities but… as an incredible face to make up – Natalie Portman is the one for me! She has such an stunning face! I'd also love to work with Jennifer Lawrence because she seems like a total dream and I think I could do good things with her look.
What's the best advice you've ever been given? Who do you turn to most for advice?
I definitely seek advice from a lot of sources but, again, my agency have been a great help over the years. They've been in the industry a lot longer than me and are very wise as a result!
Thanks Lou & great tips! Here are some gorgeous photos of our Simply Be models, Lou has worked on. Models (L-R) Wendy, Justine and Candice.

If Great Spaces published a Top 10 list, this breathtaking estate on the outskirts of Monaco would surely make the cut.
Located near the Cap d'Ail harbor and the Mediterranean Sea, The Château de l'Ermitage (otherwise known as Château Mallet) was originally built in 1896 and later redesigned and extended in 1961. With over 8,600 square feet of living space (and about 2,100 square feet of service rooms), the Château is really something you only see on TV or in the movies…a Bond villain's hideout or a rapper's paradise in his latest video, perhaps? To sum it up: it's mega, sprawling, and epic.
Starting with the garden level, two entrances (one through a ballroom and a second more formal one) lead to the reception rooms. There's a large living room, library, scullery (yes, just like in "Downton Abbey"), and the kitchen. In one wing is a pool house with two shower rooms and bathrooms. In another wing, staff can rest their weary legs in one of two bedrooms, which also has its own bathroom and service entrance.
On the first floor, there are about 100 more bedrooms. Just kidding! Five additional bedrooms can be found, all with private toilets and some with private lounges. A staff apartment can also be found here, along with a laundry room.
Also located on the property are two caretakers' houses (approximately 1,000 square feet each), along with a greenhouse, garden shed, and agricultural garden. If a gorgeous, exotic pool wasn't enough, one may also enjoy bay, mountain, city, and ocean views along with a gazillion other scenic views, all found on the one property.
We think the photos speak for themselves on this one.
Listed for: 50,000,000+ Euros

Translation: In France the first floor is what would be the second floor in the United States. I would therefore venture to say that for an American the five bedrooms would be over the ballroom on the first floor garden level. Is that right? It looks like a beautiful home!

Transient Tics or Tourette Syndrome?
My son has been developing different tics in the past year. They will be there for a few months then go away. In the few months that the tics are there, they change. Right now he makes a "tsk" sound and takes a deep breath. Now the "tsk" sound is going away and he is now making a "snoring sound". I have been reading up on it a lot and said it is nothing to take DS to the doctor about, but I am still concerned. I guess that I am scarred that they are going to tell me it is Tourette's Syndrome. My husband's half brother has it, and his tics are somewhat severe. Does this run in the family? Could my son get it from his half uncle, although my husband and brother don't have the same dad?

I am an adult who was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome when I was eight years old. True "Tourette's" is classified as having at LEAST one simple motor tic AND one simple vocal tic. Children may also have complex motor (involving several muscles) and complex vocal(multisyllabic) tics, compulsive behaviors and/or intrusive thoughts. These conditions must be present for at least one year in order to be classified as Tourette's. If your child has only one "tic" at a time, with the current tic disappearing as a new one develops, your child probably does not have Tourette's Syndrome. By the way, to answer your question about the disorder running in families, yes, it IS genetic.posted 03/03/2008 by samantha_lynn
I have 9 yr old DS who started developing tics about a year ago. At first I didn't pay much attention to them, figuring they were just little habits. Started with eye blinking, making weird facial gesture with nose and mouth as he'd stretch downwards with upper lip. Snaps his neck, jerking his head. I'll catch him jumping with both legs at the same time sometimes. Funny enough, many people don't notice his tics. Turns out my husband had severe tics as a child, but he doesn't have any now. I've read alot of articles and sometimes tics subside after couple of years. We went to pediatric neurologist. DS had CPT & EEG tests, and doctor had teacher and I fill out a questionnaire. He also wanted to see his report card. Tests are done to rule out any neurological problems of which there were none. My DS does well in school, and hasn't thus far been affected socially or academically to warrant meds. Meds would be more strongly recommended if child shows ADHD. Tics are genetic. KEEP POSITIVE!posted 09/24/2008 by yolie71
my ds started with a motor tic (shrugging) when he was 7, it continued for about 4 months, varying in it's frequency. then no tics for several months. now he's 8 and has had a tic that involves moving his neck upwards and raising his eyebrows. this one has been present for about 3 months. the tic is more noticeable when he is being inactive (i.e. watching TV). he is not a stressed individual. he's happy , smart, social. we saw a ped neurologist who felt it was transient tic disorder, due to the lack of multiple tics, as well, apparently tourettes is also often accompanied by ADHD, OCD, and/or other issues (ds has no other issues). i have 3 tics that i have had my whole life. i would bet most people who know me are unaware (i'm good at hiding it). so i guess it's no big deal. hasn't slowed me down :) but i feel sad that i've passed this odd little thing on to him... oh well. my brother had tics as a child & now has none.posted 04/15/2008 by MomtotheBoy&Girl
Our DS will turn 7 next week and has been clearing his throat consistently mimicking a snorting sound for the past 8 months. We met with our pediatrician and ENT to rule out any colds. We were sent to a pathologist for possible vocal dysfunction but was determined it was just a habit developed that would probably go away in time. Just in the last two weeks, he developed three more issues that have us convinced that they are tic or ts related. He makes a consistent sound while watching TV almost like a coughing laugh or "tsk" sound and his shoulders and body jerks a bit each time. He also jerks involuntarily while sitting or walking now. We immediately made an appt with a neurologist to determine what we are dealing with so that we can help him gain control before this effects his school and or social environment. He also is belching and hiccuping as well. I used to think it was something he was just doing for the fun of it but it's obvious now, it's out of his immediate controlposted 03/18/2008 by jbuss
I'm also curious about this. My ds just turned 6, and has started making short little sounds from his throat, like at the beginning of a cough. I noticed it more after he had a bad asthma attack, but he denies that his "breathing is bad" and has been well for weeks now. I notice it particularly when he is reading. Also seems to flick his fingers a bit too. Like there is something in between them that he is trying to get out. Just recently started blinking his eyes a lot too. I'll ask his pediatrician next week when his little brother goes in for a checkup.posted 02/07/2008 by Jill0102
I wish someone had posted answers to this because my 6 year old son developed tics as well and we are not sure what he does. He too, just came up with the taking a deep breath tic. He also does sholder shrugs and moves his head back but the tics change and are not always the same.posted 09/23/2007 by tjdmurray
I started noticing my daughter outstretching her arm in a weird consistent way. It just didn't seem natural like she was trying to reach her hand out of her long sleeve shirt. Now, yesterday, she had what I would describe as tics, jerking her head way down toward her shoulder and up in the same consistent way. Same side, the right. It does seem a little obsessive compulsive and I am wondering if I should query my husband's family about anyone there having similar symptoms.posted 01/09/2008 by lisamcgu
My husband has tourettes, he inherited it from his mother, so yes it is something that can be passed on. I believe that you can be a carrier with out knowing it. The severity just depends on the person. Just because your brother n law has a more severe case does not mean that your son would. Sounds can be tourettes.posted 06/05/2008 by michichi1976
My oldest son used to have tics. As we later found out he had PANDA. It's a nevrological disorder when tics and obsessive compalsive behavior become worst after a child gets sick. Another symptome is fruquent strep throat. Watch your son in case his tics get worst after he has a cold. There is no treatment for tics as I know of except keeping him calm and as relaxed as possible (reading, baths, less TV and sugar). Boys have a tendency to get PANDA and tics more friquently than girls. If your son has PANDA it should go away by puberty. And, yes, as far as I know it runs in the family. My youngest son now has tics as well (they're half-brothers). I hope it helps.posted 11/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

In communist Cuba, where only state media exist locally, a vibrant blogger culture has emerged as a venue for critical commentary, a leading journalists' rights group said Thursday.
"Despite vast legal and technical obstacles, a growing number of Cuban bloggers have prevailed over the regime?s tight Internet restrictions to disseminate island news and views online," said a report from the New-York based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
"The bloggers, mainly young adults from a variety of professions, have opened a new space for free expression in Cuba, while offering a fresh glimmer of hope for the rebirth of independent ideas in Cuba?s closed system."
The CPJ said at least 25 independent journalistic blogs are being produced by Cuban writers. Another 75 independent blogs are up and running, though they are not news-based and focus on personal interests, the report found.
Unlike some independent journalists in the 1990s who took on the government in a confrontational fashion, the bloggers have set themselves apart from dissidents and the government focusing more simply on information, the authors of the CPJ report, Carlos Lauria and Maria Salazar Ferro, wrote.
Bloggers are typically between 20 and 30 years in age and most are students, teachers, artists or musicians who live in Havana where access to computers and the Internet is a bit easier than across the rest of the island of more than 11 million, the report noted.
In Havana, Internet access is available to those paying in hard currency. Cubans earn, on average, the equivalent of less then 20 dollars a month.
Cuban officials say 13 percent of the population has Internet access but the real proportion of people online is thought to be far lower.
