The way I see it, it could not have been more perfect. Portlandia--the new show from Fred Armisen, Olympia's own Carrie Brownstein (ex of Sleater-Kinney), and IFC--is a show in which the entire setup is the skewering of Portland in particular and the Pacific Northwest in general. And the very first scene of the very first episode (following the aforementioned theme song, "The Dream of the 90's Is Alive in Portland") is set in an imaginary restaurant called the Gilt Club and involves a painfully long discussion about organic, farm-to-table cuisine and whether or not the chicken that Armisen and Brownstein are thinking of eating is "USDA organic or Oregon organic or Portland organic," and whether the chicken (named Colin) had "a lot of friends, a lot of other chickens as friends," while living on the local, organic, Oregon farm where he was raised.
For those of you who absolutely cannot wait, the entire first episode is available right now on Hulu. But for those willing to exercise a little self-control, the official premiere is tomorrow night at 10:30 on IFC, following the premiere of Onion News Network (which I also wrote about earlier today).
Can you tell I'm a little bit excited?

Reviewed By Lincoln F (Fort Lauderdale, FL) Reviewed for a 2015 Chevy Silverado —4/17/2016 2:21 PM
Fender Flares look great and were very easy to install! Recommend this item!
Reviewed By Gary K (SPRING VALLEY, CA) —3/18/2016 5:34 AM
Product is good and the overall appearance is good. Installation directions were poor. I substituted stainless steel screws, fender washers and Nyloc nuts to mount the fender flares because the provided fasteners were plastic and mild steel which would not hold up in a salt water environment.
Know before you buy! Read customer reviews about the EGR Fender Flares & Trim or ask our Product Experts.

Zions Bancorporation: Financial Loser
TheStreet) -- Zions Bancorporation (ZION - Get Report) was the loser among the largest U.S. financial names on Tuesday, with shares sliding by more than 3% to close at $20.33. The broad indexes pulled back after a disappointing 2015 revenue forecast from Caterpillar (CAT), and some negative comments on the Federal Reserve's efforts to push long-term interest rates even lower though increased purchases of long-term securities, from Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser."We are unlikely to see much benefit to growth or to employment from further asset purchases," Plosser said, adding that "conveying the idea that such action will have a substantive impact on labor markets and the speed of the recovery risks the Fed's credibility." The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down 2% to close at 49.59, with all 24 index components showing declines for the session. Shares of Zions Bancorporation (ZION - Get Report) of Salt Lake City have now returned 25% year-to-date, following a 33% decline during 2011. The shares trade for just over their reported June 30 tangible book value of $19.65, and for 12 times the consensus 2013 Earnings estimate of $1.75 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is $1.15. Zions owes $700 million in federal bailout funds received in November 2008 through the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, having repaid $700 million in TARP money during the first quarter. The company reported second-quarter earnings applicable to common shareholders of $55.2 million, or 30 cents a share, increasing from $25.5 million, or 14 cents a share, during the first quarter, and $29.0 million, or 16 cents a share, during the second quarter of 2011. The earnings improvement mainly reflected "dividends and other investment income from private equity investments," primarily at its Amegy subsidiary. The second-quarter results were also boosted by a $32 million release of loan loss reserves. Guggenheim Securities analyst Marty Mosby has a neutral rating on Zions Bancorporation, with a $23 price target, saying on Friday that investors will be seeing "favorable short-term headlines" heading into third-quarter earnings season, as the company "will likely report stronger loan growth than expected in 3Q12, repay its remaining TARP balance before releasing 3Q12 results, and see an increase in reported earnings per share due to less debt conversion costs."NEW YORK (

A Few of Our Favorite Things
Art hound, Lady Gaga designer, fashionista, web publisher, and curator Emma Berg collaborated with Mark and Alyssa Fox (sibs, accountants, and gallery owners) on a blockbuster show at the indie Gallery @ Fox Tax. Each selected 10 of their favorite artists, then assembled their works into an exhibition that juxtaposes pieces by Broken Crow and DC Ice, Andrea Stanislav and Jennifer Davis, Miles Mendenhall and Gregory Euclide, Ruben Nusz and Anne George. This eclectic assemblage of national and local notables stays up until January 7. But on Saturday, December 11, each artist offers a gift-wrapped piece (a pretty package, but you won't know what's inside) for $100. Proceeds benefit the charity of each artist's choosing. What's to lose? It's win-win: attainable, affordable art for a cause. The holiday reception is from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, December 11. (Art by Anne George)

I'm puzzled by Mathematica's responses to the following:
#^2 & /@ Range[n]
#^2 & /@ Range[n] // StandardForm
It seems that even Mathematica (8.0) doesn't believe what it has just said:
#^2 & /@ Range[5]
Any thoughts about what is happening?
The original context for this question was the following. I had written
PrimeOmega[Range[n]] - PrimeNu[Range[n]]
and since n was going to be very large (2^50), I thought I might save time by rewriting it as:
PrimeOmega[#] - PrimeNu[#] &/@Range[n]
Thinking back, that probably wasn't such a good idea. (I could have used Module to 'compute' the Range only once.)

Today's Health Winners and Losers
(BMRN - Get Report) were among the best-performing health-related stocks Thursday, jumping 15% after the company said its treatment for phenylketonuria, an enzyme deficiency, performed well in a phase III trial. BioMarin and its partner, Serono (SRA), said Phenoptin met its primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction at six weeks in blood phenylalanine levels when compared to a placebo. BioMarin and Serono plan to file marketing applications for Phenoptin for PKU in the U.S. and European Union in 2007.Separately, BioMarin agreed to license its Orapred product line to privately held Alliant Pharmaceuticals. The license gives Alliant the exclusive right to market the pediatric asthma drug in North America. BioMarin will receive payments and royalties that are tied to the product's approval, launch and sales. BioMarin, which will retain the commercial rights to Orapred outside of North America, expects to launch Orapred ODT during the second half of 2006. Shares were trading up $1.84 to $14.29. Shares of Nanogen (NGEN) climbed 16% after Fisher Scientific (FSH) agreed to buy about 5.7 million shares for $2.65 each. The $15 million investment coincides with Fisher's $283 million acquisition of Athena Diagnostics, which was announced Thursday. "Nanogen and Fisher will collaborate to expand the use of Athena's proprietary markets and diagnostic assays," Nanogen said in a statement. Nanogen plans to use proceeds from the stock sale for working capital and other general corporate needs. Shares of were up 41 cents to $2.93, while Fisher shares shed 36 cents to $69.52. StemCells (STEM - Get Report) shares were roughly flat after the stem cell-focused biotechnology company posted a smaller year-over-year loss. The company reported a loss of $4.3 million, or 7 cents a share, narrowed from $4.9 million, or 8 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose to $43,000 from $38,000. For all of 2005, the company reported a loss of $11.7 million, or 18 cents a share, on revenue of $206,000. The company ended 2005 with $34.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, down from $41.1 million at the end of 2004. Shares were unchanged at $3.69.Shares of BioMarin Pharmaceutical

The widgets are all good looking, but I can not in good conscience call it well designed, due to an oddity with sizing. All of the main functions are available, and the system of adding the widget and then choosing it's function is nice.
The widgets are nice enough looking, with a simple blue and grey color scheme. All the functions you'd expect such as brightness, volume and WiFi, but there are also some extras such as a 2G/3G toggle and lock screen.
There are two size options - 4*1 and 2*2. 4*1 works fine, but 2*2 is odd, because the widget itself is 1*1, so it puts the 1*1 widget in the middle of a 2*2 space. This means it takes up much more space on the desktop than it needs to.

The Galaxy S II 16 Gb (depending on where you buy it) is about £50 or 10% cheap*er* than the 16 Gb iPhone4 - that makes it *competitively* priced, not cheap. I have also had hands-on time with one very recently and I can only describe your use of the word "crap" as fanboi trolling.
According to Apple themselves they had sold a total of all iPhones of 108 million as of March 2011.
However, if this *is* correct and the figures for the Galaxy S II are *also* correct we can readily see why Cupertino have been experiencing a brown-trouser moment because it implies that Samsung have managed within a few months to generate sales equivalent to 9.25% of *all* the iPhones ever sold as of March this year with only *one* model. As I said earlier on this thread I do not believe we need to search further for the explanation for Cupertino's "legal" war.
.............as to why Apple started their current legal war against Samsung. This is the first time that another phone is perceived by Cupertino as a serious threat to the successful launch of a new iPhone. The original Galaxy S was a warning shot and Apple realised that its follow-up would likely give them a real challenge.
....that much of an "old-timer" I am not! Careless phraseology on my part. -:)
.........but what about stripping them of their registration if the site is clearly inactive for a given period of time? In other words, "use it or loose it". In the Old West when you staked a claim I seem to remember that you lost it if you failed to work it - could apply the same principle here.
I am very much afraid that you have a point there!
I have to say that it sounds like teenage kids to me rather than "adults". The mentality behind that kind of spoof, the importance of the game to them - and the cheating followed by getting indignant at those who have caught you at it. This probably precludes your excellent suggestion at the end of your piece. Where they *are* adults I wish that I really was in a position to suggest the scorpion pits!
Or maybe last week, this week and next week - all at one and the same "time".
Your suggestion is straightforward, relatively easy to administer (and thereby cheaper to collect), consistent and fair to all concerned. I regret to say that that probably dooms it from the start. -:)
........the only practical answer to all those locally varying sales taxes would be a federal sales tax which would then be redistributed back to the states. Problem with that is that the individual states would sooner gnaw their own legs off than surrender *any* control over sales taxation.
...............any kind of manager/employer. If you are then you are undoubtedly the type of manager/employer who gives workers every good reason to join a trades union.
There is of course bad reporting El Reg and this whole business about misunderstanding what a scientist means when he uses the word "theory" (ie Something for which there is substantial evidence but which we must continue to "destruction test" - and indeed is formulated in such a fashion that it *can* be tested) and the way the word "theory" is used in everyday colloquial speech where it really means what a scientist means when he uses the word "hypothesis". However there are those who *deliberately* blur the differences between those two usages *and* claim that because scientists say at the outset that no theory is set in stone that shows that the theory concerned is only a hypothesis (although they use the word "theory" when making that argument). The creationists are one of the very worst examples of this kind of deliberate obfuscation using it as they do to conceal the fact that their hypothesis about the Origin is completely (as formulated) untestable and at the same time they exploit the confusion generated to claim, for example, that the theory of human evolution and creationism should have equal status in the classroom. In other words I wish it was just "simplistic and ignorant" reporters and other members of the "great unwashed" who failed to understand the concept of scientific theory, testability/falsifiability and the difference between "theory" and "hypothesis" - it is not. There are some heavyweight religious/political fundamentalists out there who deliberately run their propaganda campaigns by wilfully confusing these issues.
Funny how such people never seem in any way reluctant when they think the Chinese are involved hmm?
Indeed they most certainly would. It is impossible to believe that the competition authorities in Europe or in the US would sit still for this - the row would be unbelievable. However that is perhaps the point? The article does not quote MS on this subject or indicate whether any attempt to contact them has been made. I for one would be *very* interested in how Redmond would react to this accusation. If MS actually *wanted* to give Win8 the worst possible start they could scarcely have chosen a better way to do it - and it is precisely that point that causes me to have some reservations about this story. Not because I am under any illusions as to what MS might *like* to do if they could get away with it, I just have some difficulty believing that they would think that they *could* get away with this.
..........you have just posted to suggest that you take a look at the Samsung Galaxy SII before you decide? -:)
.....near us punches me in the face. Instead of hitting him I decide to get my dibs in my smacking you one. Would you regard this as rational and fair behaviour? No? I am not surprised. However that *is* the logic of *your* argument. I do know how many times Apple have been sued with regard to the iPod but I do know that that has nothing to do with Samsung and provides not the slightest rational justification for Apple starting a war with them.
The current share-price that Apple can command is a *relatively* new phenomenon (the last six/seven years or so - I believe?) and is heavily dependent on them maintaining the iPad/iPhone driven hegemony in the mobile communications/computing market. How rational and realistic is it to believe that that dominance will continue on the current scale? If some of Microsoft's investors really believe that that kind of rocket-like capital appreciation is something they can rationally say that they are "entitled" to then they should get out more. I say this without any comment on either Apple or Microsoft as companies.
There are a couple of possibilities here which *might* explain why they only now are doing so.
1. Until relatively recently Apple was a valued customer/partner of Samsung with whom the Korean company had a good working relationship. The iPhones/iPads sold gangbusters and Samsung earned handsomly on all the "bits" they supplied and Sammy had no reason to endanger that relationship.
2. It was only when Apple noticed that Samsung was making some very good kit that was attracting attention and could compete with the iPhone and the iPad that Apple decided to start firing off writs at Samsung.
In short it was only when Apple decided that attempting to cripple Samsung as a *device* producer in the market they are both competing in was more important than their hitherto productive relationship that Samsung started to sue in self-defence. Samsung has (AFAIK) not got a reputation for being *especially* litigious and I do not believe that they would have started their current legal campaign in the absence of the legal assault from Cupertino.
In fact I can't write any more because my eyes are watering too badly.
"Apple, like Ford, buys parts from suppliers to make their products. If there were suppliers still in the US, they might use them."
Er no, Apple do not "buy parts from suppliers". The entire phone is built in China and is in fact *imported* when sold in America - thus contributing to the US' trade-balance problems.
..............all of the time on a regular basis. I only wonder how common that usage model is? Or have I misunderstood something here? (Which is of course entirely possible)
I suppose all I am really saying is that it is highly likely that we will see x86 devices with considerably longer battery life than quite a few people (for various reasons/motivations) are currently assuming. That the picture being presented of devices so noisy and with such poor battery life and/or performance as to be impracticable/almost useless is in fact a picture with a significantly shorter shelf life than some people are claiming. You are however quite right in saying that we should treat the figures that Intel have provided with considerable caution.
"Clearly, this tablet is designed to show off Windows 8 at its best, but it raises the question of how well the new OS will run with less powerful systems."
ARM Socs are getting more and more powerful for the same power consumption and even Intel appears (although a little late in the day) to have woken up.
"Intel promises '20X' power reduction with 'Haswell' chips" (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/13/haswell_at_adc_2011/)
The time when hardware capable of running a full song with choruses os without slaughtering the battery is rapidly approaching. I honestly do not believe that is going to be a major issue. Things are developing so fast that in a couple of years time at the very latest the specs of that Sammy that MS have given the attendees at Build will be regarded as *very* ordinary and as you point out are fully capable of running a full fat os without sweating.
...............and then dual-boot it on our home-office rig. In the meantime I noticed a *very* extensive preview of this build on a (non-touch) laptop at Engadget. Very interesting and still very obviously a work in progress.
"Nokia, meanwhile, is actually cutting off one it its routes to market. Chief executive Steven Elop, a former Microsoft executive, is reported to have decided Nokia phones in the US will only be available ready locked into carriers' networks and that unlocked phones that let you – the consumer – pick the network you want will no longer be sold."
Translation: The only way the carriers will give Nokiasoft phones any decent exposure is if they are given exclusivity in the US. Currently both Nokia's situation and that of MS in relation to WP7 mean that they have little or no leverage in negotiation with the likes of AT&T, Verizon etc. Nokia has not cut anything off - it just currently has no bloody choice in realation to the US market. The US carriers, given the chance, will do anything they can get away with to ensure that customers do not get a chance to pick and choose. Nokia's current situation means that they can get away with it with regard to Nokia's phones.
..................I love them. However, I will not part with a penny piece for the "prequels" - in fact you could not pay me to take them away.
.................try getting that in a 7 inch form-factor!
Microsoft are of course recompling Office to run on ARM and yes you will likely have to interact with it by means of keyboard and mouse. Tell me, are you seriously saying that you would wish, for example, to type a long Word document using a virtual keyboard? I personally think that for a lot of people being able to interact as they wish with the os (whether it is by "prodding" it, or keyboard/mouse combination or, yes, even taking notes with a stylus) dependent upon what they want to do may turn out to be a good solution. I certainly think that there are enough of our fellow earthlings who are capable of chewing gum and walking straight at the same time for them to be willing/happy "to learn two different interfaces for the same application." where they have reason to wish to interact with the app concerned in more than one way. It is also in the nature of the "form and function" equation that there will likely always be apps where the one or the other way of interacting with it will be better/more natural for the individual user.
"Tap this one, and presto, you are back in the familiar Windows user interface, though this is as frustrating as ever if you try to run apps using touch alone."
Why on earth would you? Since you would surely launch the traditional desktop if you *intended* to interact with the device with mouse and keyboard?
"A critical factor is whether Metro apps will cover enough features so that tablet users will rarely need to venture into the desktop."
They will surely venture into the desktop when they wish to use the aforementioned keyboard and mouse for those tasks which are not suited to touch. For example, a usage scenario: I have my shiny new windows fondleslab sitting in a dock on a shelf in our TV bench connected to our TV via our receiver and I wish to post some more wisdom at El Reg from the comfort of my arm chair. Am I going to use the touch UI? Of course not, I will launch desktop and use my wireless keyboard and mouse just as I am doing right now as I type this.
I note that several on the thread appear to have physic powers inasmuch as they already "know" that Win8 is going to be totally pants. I have a seriously radical suggestion. Why don't we wait until we have actually had some hands-on time with a Win8 build (at least a stable beta or better still the RC installed on a device with a touchscreen) *before* we form an opinion about how well its been implemented? You know, something so seriously cutting edge as *knowledge-based* criticism.
"Intel promises '20X' power reduction with 'Haswell' chips".
Just goes to show that one should not speak too soon although not until 2013 is a bit of a wait.
.........though interestingly enough Win7 tabs all the same manage about 5% of the tab market despite the fact that Win7 sucks big time as a touch os. That explains perhaps why Fujitsu are bothering to maintain a presence in this segment. It is clear there is a demand, one that I expect they are hoping to have rather more success with at a later date with a Win8 based tablet. It does rather suggest that Redmond's decision to cover both ARM and x86 architectures is not a stupid move. At the moment what appears to be on the horizon from Intel and/or AMD does not look that promising in the context of *tablet* pcs.
.............2 years old. How did you manage to ramp that up to "several years" after launch? Given that they in fact reached those Win7 license figures at 1 year and 11 months it is just possible that his "guesstimate" is not *that* pony.
Thanks muchly. I am grateful and, to be honest, relieved!
I do beg your pardon?
That's the whole point. That's how the really smart wife gets hubby to do at least some of the housework - by persuading him that he is using kit. The sort of stuff he reads about at El Reg. That way she can convince him that its not some *girly* thing, instead its something with buttons, flashing lights and it probably goes "beep, beep" as well.
..................evidence based.
". Lenovo claims that its rival has only sold 20,000 of the 1 million GalaxyTabs shipped."
Now, as I have said elsewhere, I do not have the "inside track" on Samsung's sales figures but I would hesitate before I quoted the CEO of a major Chinese rival to South Korea's largest electronics company as any kind of evidence. Especially when, AFAIK, he provided *nothing* to back up that claim. In other words it appears (so far) to be a completely unsupported *allegation*.
Furthermore, how long has the original 'Tab been out? A long time in terms of the rate of development and change in this very young market. The current generation of Samsung's offerings in both tab and phone space appear to be attracting *way* more attention than the release of their very first tab ever did. If we want *evidence* that they may make a real impact we could perhaps point to the "lawyering" from Cupertino which borders on the desperate - they clearly do not have a relaxed attitude to the challenge that Samsung's products may pose them. *My* crystal ball is fairly cloudy at the moment and I am content to await events in this, still, very young and immature market.
That the info does not apparently seem to be available right now (I've been working the "magic piano") does not seem particularly encouraging. If it is no worse than current Li-ion batteries, fine, but the lack of info worries me a bit.
Any info on what they are saying about the amount of charge stored per unit volume in comparison to current Li ion batteries?
........it is very clear in this context that of the two ways one can read the expression "smart phone owners" at least one of them is the grandmother of all non sequiturs.
......I pose another question. Ask an average European to name all of the states that the US consists of and at the same time ask an average American to name all the states in the EU. Which of the two groups would do better in your opinion?
I wrote that somewhat "free-form" and only realised that its structure was somewhat "lacking" after I had sent it in. I only hope that those who read it realise/understand my intention without being to hard on me with regard to my composition!
There is not much I can disagree with in your posting and indeed I feel no impulse to do so. However, given that the majority of us are pretty uninterested in being involved in politics over and beyond voting every fourth or fifth year is it not possible that we, to some extent, get the politicians we deserve? If we would rather 99% of the time think about almost anything else and are definitely uninterested in getting involved ourselves, do we not also have some responsibility for this state of affairs? Might it not at least be a thought worth our consideration that if the "market" in aspiring politicians were somewhat larger than it is at both local and national level then the time-servers and expenses pisstakers might have a much harder time of it? My only point is really that given that we *do* have elections and we *can* throw the bastards out (whichever political flavour we are talking about) is it not the case that *we the people* have *some* responsibility for the current state of affairs?
..............that your friends were from out of town.
Modern data-processing and communications technology enables us to readily and easily process information, interact with each other with a speed and ease that has never existed before regardless of distance and see/witness events that we otherwise would only ever have read about and seen photographs of often days after. As recently as two centuries or so ago it might have been many days or even weeks between an event and our hearing of it, or our receiving a reply to that letter we had sent someone. The sheer speed and scale of all types of modern communication has an effect on the impact that the world has on us and how we react to it and events. The mainland US had never been attacked since King George had his little dispute with George Washington and even the attack on Pearl Harbour in Hawaii was something that one heard about on the radio or read about in the newspapers and had a certain amount of psychological distance from. When those planes were flown into the towers on that awful day the *whole* of America could *see* and *hear* it happen virtually in real-time and the impact on the collective consciousness of the people of the United States was enormous, leading directly to what Bush and Cheney could get away with and the pernicious home security industry that grew up in the wake of 9/11. "Everyone" saw their nation attacked, everyone "felt" the impact as those horrible videos (more horrifying in their gruesome reality than any horror film could be) showed the plane flying into the tower as if it were a special effect from a new "Die Hard" movie. The very technologies which provide us with so much information and interaction both facilitated the post-event psychology in the US and provided both government and "BigCorp" with the tools with with which to spy on and control us. We as a species are still not quite prepared for the impact for good *and* ill that modern communications technologies have and will have on us as individual human beings living in a society that interacts at a *mass* level in ways and at speeds that are unique in human history.
Now I do not pretend to have the inside track on Samsung's sales figures but I would simply point out that that *allegation* regarding the sales of the Galaxy Tab came from the CEO (Lenovo I think?) of a major Chinese rival of South Korea's leading tech company. I would hesitate before I quoted such a source in this context.
How would you know? Several of the devices that Apple are firing their lawyers at have only just been released/announced. Apple's strategy is clearly to prevent Samsung, in advance, from marketing *anything* within tablets or smartphones if they in any way can. Thus enabling you to continue to rejoice in your own ignorance.
I am only a couple of years younger than you Len and I think that I must have read the same book - and I'm chuckling at the memory as I write this. It is rather like the traditional expression my dear lady's family use when they celebrate Passover - "next year in Jerusalem".
"That would be awful, if M$ ever bring out a decent O/S you guys will have to find something else to bitch about."
Any of us who have been reading El Reg for some time have noticed that a certain section of the commentariat *will* regard it as a disaster if Win8 is any good and the trans-platform strategy is competently implemented.
........take this seriously?

A Talk with Barry Melancon
Recently, AICPA President Barry Melancon sat down with the Journal news staff--for the first of a series of periodic talks--to share his thoughts on issues ranging from the CPA Vision Project to derivatives legislation. From his unique vantage point, what does he see in the immediate future for the profession?
Journal: What are the major items on your agenda at this moment?
Melancon: CPA WebTrust is an immense project, of course, and the Institute is committed to making it successful. I'm also very pleased with the CPA Vision Project. In one year, we put together 200 full-day forums, which over 3,000 members attended. I think even a for-profit company would have had trouble doing as much so quickly. I am pleasantly surprised that international issues appear to be very important even to smaller firms and companies. Businesses everywhere are going to be interacting much more internationally.
Journal: The Institute has two accreditations--PFS and ABV. Are any more under consideration?
Melancon: Council just approved a new approach to accreditation on the basis of a report from the special committee on accreditation of specialization, chaired by Robert Israeloff. It requires us to be more proactive, and we're planning to dedicate staff to manage the expansion of the accreditation program. The eldercare assurance service, too, may lead to a new accreditation.
CPAs may need to think differently about specialization than they have in the past. First, practitioners should consider accreditations as being tied closely to the CPA designation: You're not a PFS or an ABV--you're a CPA/PFS or a CPA/ABV. You build on the "CPA." Some small firms may think specialized accreditations work against them because they can't possibly specialize in every area--and thus earn every new designation we issue. However, by specializing in one or two areas, a small firm can gain a reputation among the general public and other CPA firms for expertise and thus become part of a one-stop shopping network. Here's an example: A former partner of mine has his own firm now and does only high-level tax consulting work. …

Army Field Band logistician shares music, faith with Cubans
November 17, 2009
By Heather Santos (The United States Army Field Band)
FORT MEADE, Md. - "For me, it was an answer to a dream, and it represented the Emerald City of my Latin journey."
Eugene Cedras, a logistician with The United States Army Field Band and a 23-year Army veteran who retired from the 1st Army Band at Fort Meade in 1992, spoke these words with such admiration and inspiration for a country that, to many, is a paradise ... albeit a paradise with its share of problems.
Gene, as he is known by many, traveled to Cuba recently as part of a spiritual and musical mission-sharing his enthusiasm for music, his enthusiasm for his religious faith, with Cubans.
Anyone who meets Gene is immediately struck by his passion, struck by his genuineness, struck by his compassion for others. Every story he shares is filled with excitement, every joke filled with zeal.
He is, quite simply, a giving person-always willing to reach out and help others. So, it makes perfect sense that he would jump at the chance to accompany a missionary team to Cuba. It had been a dream of his for 35 years.
For Gene, this voyage began in October 1971, as a 19-year-old from New Hampshire who received an Army draft notice in the mail. He remembers that piece of paper as if he just received it yesterday. At the time, he was given two choices-select a military occupational skill (MOS) and perform 3 years of service or let the Army select his MOS and complete a 2-year enlistment.
He chose the first option.
Because he played drums in high school, Gene thought joining the Army bands program would be a perfect fit.
It was.
What began as a 3-year contract extended into a lifetime career. Yet, admittedly, Cedras says the process wasn't as easy as he thought it would be.
"I failed my first audition," he said playfully.
"I immediately thought, oh no, here I come Oh Two Bang Bang [a term referring to the infantry MOS at the time]. I had to scramble. I went home, practiced the specific sections of the test I had difficulty with, and I passed the audition the next go around."
There were still a number of Army bands in Vietnam at the time, and there was a chance Gene would be sent there. He figured, though, that if he had to go to Vietnam, why not as a part of an Army band ... as part of an entity designed to boost Soldiers' morale.
Vietnam was not his fate.
Instead, Gene landed at Fort Dix, N.J., for his first assignment as a drummer with the 19th Army Band.
It was here that he got to witness, to experience the beginning of the Salsa movement. It was here he became fascinated with learning as much as he could about Latin cultures and Latin music.
"I was really blessed. Due to the installation's proximity to New York City, I was able to travel to the Big Apple frequently to listen to many popular bands of that time. I remember, too, hearing music emanating from a nearby Soldier-musician's quarters, music with an infectious beat. I was drawn to it, as a percussionist, as a fan of all things music. It was Salsa," he said.
Gene reminisces on many blessed moments, many special times during his duty at Fort Dix. Not only did he acquire an appreciation for Latin culture and musical composition, but he also joined his first Latin band, and he met, and married, Lorancy, a native of the Dominican Republic.
With Lorancy, Gene explored Latin traditions in a more intimate, familial sense, as the two would frequently visit her family. There he was introduced to the meringue, a traditional musical style of her native country.
Gene lights up when he speaks of Lorancy, who he considers to be his soulmate. And, it is quite befitting that the two met, by chance, through music ... at a USO dance.
"I saw her walk in the room with a friend of mine, who had brought along his girlfriend. I made my way over to their table and sat down with the group. I felt an instant connection to her ... I immediately thought 'wow'!" he exclaimed.
That "wow" factor lasted throughout their 30-year marriage, a union which ended in 2007 when Gene lost Lorancy to a long bout with cancer. His passion for her remains. To this day, his eyes sparkle at the mere mention of her name. Gene attributes his strength, his ability to get past the tough times, to his family and his faith in God.
Gene's reputation, both as a man of music and a man of faith, brought him the offer to embark on his musical, evangelical mission to Cuba.
"My friend with whom I served at the 19th Army Band at Fort Dix and the 1st Army Band at Fort Meade is still a practicing musician. He plays music with his church and had traveled to Cuba with a mission team last year. He connected me to the Global Missions Project-an organization that brings together teams of musicians to perform and instruct ecclesiastical musicians all over the world."
Gene threw his "high" hat in the ring, expressing his interest to provide music for, and instruct, the people of the island nation and Cuban church musicians.
"Being able to share my faith and help the Christian Cuban musicians was amazing. Religious freedoms are being relaxed in Cuba, and there are currently 400 Baptist churches there, which surprised me. Though there is still a lot of ground to cover, I am inspired by the mere opportunities to share the word of the Lord in Cuba," he remarked.
His mission to Cuba was such a success that he has already been invited back next year. This time, he will by flying solo-providing one on one instruction with church percussionists there.
Gene is pleased that he has a unique skill, one that allows him to share the message of hope, of faith, in such a distinctive way.
He fondly reflects on his life, his decisions that that have brought him so much joy over the years. He longs to continue communicating to others the four loves of his life-God, family, country, and, of course, music-which he got to do in Cuba-a place, for Gene, that united his passions for music and spirituality, a place representing the birthplace of his beloved Salsa music, a place that has brought his journey, his story full circle.

Mountain Lion by Destroyah93Watch
©2012-2016 Destroyah93
I was walking along a trail when I felt like I was being watched. I turned around and saw this amazing animal. A Mountain Lion. These magnificent creatures kill a few people each year. Yet humans do far more damage to them. we have driven them from most of their range and they are nearly extinct in Florida. In most places where they still roam, they are the apex predator.
The way she looked at you, did you feel like you should be between two slices of bread?
Fortunately there are strong efforts underway to protect these beautiful animals in the wild, hopefully the cougars will made a re-bound. There have even been reports of cougar sightings here, and they've been gone from our area since the early 1900's.
Nice, nice photo!
I am relieved to see that you commented and added that it was in a zoo. I was going to ask what state you were in. I remember driving through Florida once and seeing one of these killed on the highway. I was amazed, because at the time I had no idea there were any of these animals there. What really struck me was how huge it was! I think I'd have had a heart attack if I had been pulled over on the road and seen one of these peering out from the brush. Gorgeous, but not anything I want to run into in the wild. And now that we have encroached so much on their territory it can only end tragically for both animal and human when a close encounter occurs.
Luckily, the trail was a in a zoo. this could have ended badly if it was in the wild

EXFO Inc. Stock Downgraded (EXFO)
TheStreet) -- EXFO (Nasdaq: EXFO) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.NEW YORK (
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Communications Equipment industry and the overall market, EXFO INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $1.34 million or 52.78% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- EXFO has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 15.39% from its price level of one year ago. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- EXFO INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past two years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EXFO INC swung to a loss, reporting -$0.05 versus $0.11 in the prior year.
- EXFO, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 21.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.1%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

HARRISON, N.J. - A controversial penalty called by a replacement referee helped the Rapids and new coach Pablo Mastroeni open their season with a 1-1 tie against the host New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
Colorado's Vicente Sanchez scored the tying goal on a penalty kick in the 72rd minute after substitute referee Alan Kelly whistled a soft foul at the edge of the penalty area.
The crowd of 20,542 booed after the call and Jamison Olave seemed shocked.
"If it's against you it's a tough call. If it's for you you're OK with it," Mastroeni said. "I think referees are out of our control. We can talk in circles about it but what I like to focus on is the guys, the attitude, the performance and the way they came out and played."
Sanchez deposited the kick from the spot into the right corner of the net. Red Bulls keeper Luis Robles did not have a chance to stop it.
The Professional Referee Organization, which manages on-field officials for Major League Soccer, has locked out officials from the Professional Soccer Referees Association, because the two sides have failed to reach agreement on a contract after the officials formed a union last year.
"I'm not going to say anything about the call," New York coach Mike Petke said. "That's the game. What am I going to say about the penalty kick? It's unfortunate for us. Fortunate for Colorado and you move on from it."
New York defender Jamison Olave ran up behind the Rapids' Marvin Chavez, who took a pass from Sanchez. But after Olave's chest bumped into Chavez, the Colorado midfielder fell to the ground to draw a penalty.
"Did he (Olave) initiate the contact? Yes, he did. That's pretty much it," Kelly, the referee, said. "I don't mean to be blunt, but in terms of the questions that's the straightforward answers I can give."
Red Bulls star Thierry Henry scored on a header in the 57th minute for New York, the defending Supporters' Shield trophy winners as the regular-season's top team in 2013.
The Red bulls were trying to bounce back from a dismal season-opening performance in a 4-1 loss at Vancouver last weekend.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made us feel welcome from the time we stepped foot on the property. The in room jacuzzi was fantastic! The first night was quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed! The only suggestion that I would make is to limit the outside pool birthday parties to daytime hours so that the hotel guests can enjoy the pool and hot tub. It was very crowded and loud for the entire day. The staff was more than willing to extend hours for us to enjoy the pool, but we were too tired to stay awake until after hours. Other than that suggestion I wold not change anything! Thanks again!

let me say that i did pay a little extra for this room because i got the room with the jacuzzi (this is the second time i do this at this hotel and both times i've been too tired after all day of walking at cedar point to use the jacuzzi). the hotel is kind of far from cedar point my GPS said that from the exit gate of the park to the hotel it was a 24 min drive, realisticly is anywhere from 15-20 mins depending on your driving avilities. it would be great if this hotel was within a five min drive but not a dealbreaker for me. The hotel has a good exterior to it, i think the picures they have on the travel websites is actually a negative representation of the actual way this place looks. The lobby abviously is nothing great a front desk and two couches and that is it, they do have a compuer for guest useage at no charge. the lady at the front desk was polite and friendly, the check in process went with a hassle we were a group of 12 adults with 4 different rooms and we were all checked in within ten minutes of walking in. The pool area is visible from the lobby and i really like the fact that the interior is all wood it gives it a nice look/feeling, thats all i can say about the pool we did not get to use it either. The hallways can really use a cleaning, the carpet is old and dirty, vacuumed but still dirty. the walls can use a paint job to make the hallways more inviting. the elevator should be shut down or fixed, it makes loud noises and it really does not feel safe to ride. the room was like i said above average, i've been to sandusky 4 times and the last two times ive stayed here because it really is better than most motels within 5 minutes of cedar point. The room was not spotless but 'clean' the matress should really be replaced, its one of those 'springy' matresses where you can feel the coils but for an overnight stay it did the job i guess. Overall i think this hotel offer good value for your money, the jacuzzi in the room is a nice amenity to have IF YOU ...

I booked a king room with a hot tub online. The room they gave us the tub didn't work and they couldn't fix it or put us in another room that night so we decided to watch tv. Cable didn't work either. So we had to spend our first night of our honeymoon watching mantanaince people try to fix our cable. The manager told us she would refund us 1 of the nights for our trouble. Next night they put us in another room, which doesn't include fridge and microwave like it says online, but atleast the cable and the hottub worked. Manager is a liar and didn't even refund us half of 1 night. We were already an hour away when she applied the discount of a whopping 45 dollars. I will not ever stay at a quality Inn again. Very disappointed with the staff and with the rooms.

It was perfect for us. We were in the area for a couple of days and needed a hotel room to sleep and shower in. The price was $10-50 cheaper than others in the area and we were able to book two days ahead of our stay. The continental breakfast was pretty standard and well stocked by the two employees who were really friendly and hard working. The lobby decor is outdated but we weren't there to host a wedding or anything so it didn't matter to us. All in all, it's what we expected and needed and we were thankful to have it for the best hotel price in the area.

My wife and I made reservations for the king bed/whirlpool room, which was confirmed via email. When we arrived at the hotel we were put into a 2 double bed room. When we went to the front desk to inquire what happened, we were told that the room we reserved was taken 'out of service.' No other rooms were available. We were never notified about this, even when we called to let them know we would be arriving late in the evening. We had a very special trip planned to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. Had we known, we would have gone elsewhere. It was a huge let down and really spoiled our weekend.

Couldn't be a better place to stay for a reasonable price in Sandusky! The hotel staff at every level was 100% personal and accommodating. The cleaning staff even put a grandchild's toy animal on the bed awaiting her return from a day at Cedar Point. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding and amazingly attended to for supply and cleanliness despite the big crowds. The outdoor pool and cabana bar made you feel like you were on a tropical island. We have paid twice as much for a quarter of what hotel facility offers. It's a real winner for our family.

The room was clean and comfortable. Very close drive to many restaurants and the park. Though having the jacuzzi split between the bedroom and the bathroom, it turned out to be a pretty cool set up. We loved the huge tub!
The decor is very dated and the grounds could use some upkeep. The "continental breakfast" was disappointing (thawed frozen waffles, three choices of cereals, and pop tarts). We didn't like the outdoor seating area, since it was pretty cold that morning.
