Instant #1 Bestseller; Over 500,000 copies in print!
So you feel like you've started late?
You are not alone.
What if I told you that right now as you flip through this book, 70% of the people in the store with you are living paycheck to paycheck?
What if I told you that the man browsing the aisle to your left owes more than $8,000 in credit card debt? And the woman on your right has less than $1,000 in savings?
See? You're really not alone.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who've saved too little and borrowed too much will never catch up financially. Why? Because they don't know how.
You can start late and finish rich - but you need a plan.
This book contains the plan. It's inspiring, easy to follow, and is based on proven financial principles. Building a secure financial future for yourself isn't something you can do overnight. It will take time and it will take work. But you can do it.
I know. I've helped millions of people get their financial lives together - and I can help you. Spend a few hours with me - and let me challenge you. Give me a chance to become your coach.
Just because you started late doesn't mean you are doomed to an uncertain future. Whether you're in your thirties, forties, fifties, or beyond, there is still time to turn things around. It's never too late to live and finish rich. All it takes is the decision to start.

With our newest release of Percona XtraDB Cluster, I would like to highlight a very nice ability to recovery a node and bring it back to the cluster with an incremental transfer after a crash.
This feature was available even in previous release, but now I want to give some details.
So, MySQL crashes from time to time and this a fact of life. HA solution is exactly needed to deal with an one node failure and allowing whole cluster continuing to work.
The idea is, if a node crashed, after it recovered – we just transfer all changes that happened in the cluster, while the node was down. It sounds easy in words, but proven hard when it comes to implementation. It all comes to the question: if mysqld crashes, how do we know what is the last transaction was executed. For a single InnoDB instance it is easy, there is always LSN, which is used for recovery, but in a cluster all nodes have their individual LSNs. Instead Cluster uses Global Transaction ID (GTID), in form
So, how can we store GTID so it is available after a crash? Of course there is always a good all way to store it in a separate file, which however will require an additional
fsync call for each transaction, and it is know performance killer.
Instead, we store GTID in InnoDB system area, which is updated for each transaction. So even the system crashes, we can access information about the last commited transaction.
In XtraDB Cluster you can access this information by calling mysqld with option:
mysqld --wsrep-recover
and having this information, we can force the node to start forcing to use initial GTID:, i.e
mysqld --wsrep_start_position=50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230
In fact the same methodology can be used if to restore nodes from backup.
We can start all nodes from an identical starting position, so they all will assume to start on identical data. Well, you can do it even on not identical data, but you know that you do not have a consistent cluster in this case.
As it all may sound complicated, this logic
--wsrep-recover / --wsrep_start_position= is implemented in
mysqld_safe script, so you have it out of box.
Here is how a start process looks like in an error.log:
130129 23:01:22 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /mnt/data/mysql
130129 23:01:22 mysqld_safe WSREP: Running position recovery with --log_error=/tmp/tmp.l1zf2BIDja
130129 23:01:45 mysqld_safe WSREP: Recovered position 50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230
130129 23:01:45 mysqld_safe WSREP: Recovered position 50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230
130129 23:01:45 [Note] WSREP: wsrep_start_position var submitted: '50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230'
130129 23:01:45 [Note] WSREP: Read nil XID from storage engines, skipping position init
130129 23:01:45 [Note] WSREP: wsrep_load(): loading provider library '/usr/local/mysql/lib/libgalera_smm.so'
130129 23:01:45 [Note] WSREP: wsrep_load(): Galera 2.3(r143) by Codership Oy <email@example.com> loaded succesfully.
130129 23:01:45 [Note] WSREP: Setting initial position to 50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230
130129 23:01:56 [Note] WSREP: Shifting OPEN -> PRIMARY (TO: 8549242)
130129 23:01:56 [Note] WSREP: State transfer required:
Group state: 50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549242
Local state: 50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230
130129 23:01:58 [Note] WSREP: Prepared IST receiver, listening at: tcp://126.96.36.199:4568
130129 23:01:58 [Note] WSREP: Node 5 (node3) requested state transfer from '*any*'. Selected 0 (node1)(SYNCED) as donor.
130129 23:01:58 [Note] WSREP: Shifting PRIMARY -> JOINER (TO: 8549306)
130129 23:01:58 [Note] WSREP: Requesting state transfer: success, donor: 0
130129 23:01:58 [Note] WSREP: SST complete, seqno: 8549230
130129 23:02:01 [Note] WSREP: Receiving IST: 12 writesets, seqnos 8549230-8549242
130129 23:02:01 [Note] /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: ready for connections.
So what happens there? Basically at start node detects that the last transaction had GTID:
50176f05-69b5-11e2-0800-930817fe924a:8549230, but joining cluster, it figures out
that the cluster already at position
and to catch up, the node has to recieve 12 events, which succesfully happen there:
130129 23:02:01 [Note] WSREP: Receiving IST: 12 writesets, seqnos 8549230-8549242
After applying 12 events locally the node is ready and succesfully joins cluster.
You may try it with the latest release Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.29
Percona XtraDB Cluster, Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.29, Vadim Tkachenko
One thing that isn't always clear is when you need to recover the wsrep position. Typically the answer is "if you know the node crashed", but that may not always be clear and to avoid an SST, you want to be very sure your node has the best possible change of ISTing before you issue a restart.
Why? Because as soon as PXC decides to do an SST, it starts dutifully overwriting your datadir and once that starts, you have to continue with a full SST.
To do this, you can check your grastate.dat:
[root@node3 ~]# cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat
# GALERA saved state
version: 2.1
uuid: 8d211006-5bf5-11e2-0800-067f71542765
seqno: -1
On a running node, the seqno is always '-1'. If the node crashes, this remains -1, and this will trigger a full SST on restart unless you intervene. However, if you see: a positive integer there, then this would be from mysqld being shut down cleanly.
In addition to starting mysqld or mysqld_safe directly on the command line as Vadim suggests, you can modify the grastate.dat directly to match your recovered sequence number directly and just restart mysql via your init script:
[root@node3 ~]# cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat
# GALERA saved state
version: 2.1
uuid: 8d211006-5bf5-11e2-0800-067f71542765
seqno: -1
So we can see our seqno is -1, this is asking for an SST (this assumes mysqld is not still running). Let's find out where it left off using –wsrep-recover:
[root@node3 ~]# mysqld_safe –wsrep-recover
130131 12:44:17 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/lib/mysql/error.log'.
130131 12:44:17 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
130131 12:44:17 mysqld_safe WSREP: Running position recovery with –log_error=/tmp/tmp.YLnmVW4zAl
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
130131 12:44:23 mysqld_safe WSREP: Recovered position 8d211006-5bf5-11e2-0800-067f71542765:314773
130131 12:44:28 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/lib/mysql/node3.pid ended
So I know the position, now I can carefully edit grastate.dat (I use vi) and update the uuid and seqno fields):
[root@node3 ~]# cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat
# GALERA saved state
version: 2.1
uuid: 8d211006-5bf5-11e2-0800-067f71542765
seqno: 314773
[root@node3 ~]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL (Percona XtraDB Cluster).. SUCCESS!
[root@node3 ~]# grep IST /var/lib/mysql/error.log | tail -n 1
130131 12:49:10 [Note] WSREP: IST received: 8d211006-5bf5-11e2-0800-067f71542765:318688
The caveat to relying on –wsrep-recover is that it pulls it's state from the Innodb redo logs. Any updates to any MyISAM tables, or any ongoing DDL (ALTER or similar) are not transactional. It's probably the case that wsrep-recovery can be relied on most of the time since those types of changes are normally rare, but it is not a silver bullet.
FTR, I found what I think is a bug where wsrep_start_position will not work: https://bugs.launchpad.net/codership-mysql/+bug/1112724
thanks very much jay janssen. editing /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat directly really solved my problem!
all methods mentioned in comments did not work with galera-3 and mariadb 10.0-17 on ubuntu 14.04. I had to restore db backup to a newly install mariadb cluster

Peer Review Takes the Concerns of SA Civil Society to the Heart of Its Report
The much-maligned African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) seems to have redeemed itself by issuing a report on South Africa which reflects the concerns of ordinary South Africans rather than the government.
There is a degree of irony in that. And a degree of hope, that the institutions which the new Africa is launching to try to change the continent's ethos might succeed, in spite of the efforts of African government to thwart them. Even the South African government, it seems.
The APRM, a key programme of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad), was very much a product of President Thabo Mbeki's efforts to uplift the continent.
The idea is for the "peers" - fellow African leaders and countries - to assess the political and economic governance of each other.
Throughout the peer review process in South Africa, which began more than a year ago, the ANC government and civil society conducted a running battle over the control of the process. The government tried to keep the process pretty much in its own hands while civil society protested that, since government was the key player, it should not also be the referee.
Though government did make concessions, in the end most civil society people were still unhappy with the self-assessment report which South Africa produced after a long process of consultation with all segments of society. They felt that the government had managed to impose itself finally by dominating the writing of the final self-assessment report.
Public service and administration minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, who chaired the South African APRM governing council, handed over the self-assessment report to Nigerian economist Professor Adebayo Adedeji, the chairman of the Panel of Eminent Persons, a few months ago.
This panel of impartial and honourable Africans is the key to the peer review process. Yet Adedeji caused some concern on receiving the report, because his flattering remarks about all the good things South Africa had done in the field of governance suggested he might not be so impartial after all.
Now it seems that Adedeji was simply being smart and diplomatic. …

Gamecube stamp by queenhenide776Watch
©2007-2016 queenhenide776
I love my Nintendo Gamecube so much, and ever since burglars had stoled it, I felt miserable and still angry about it. Luckily, I will buy another one soon. So here's a stamp for all Nintendo Gamecube owners in DA.
Super mario suuunnsshhine
Ah the Nintendo GameCube; it had an incredible line up of video games, and I really loved my platinum one... Unfortunately, it stopped reading discs, so I'm glad the Wii is backwards compatible!
I have a Nintendo GameCube and everything for it....except the power cord T^T Though I can't find any legit ones without a review saying theirs either burst into flame or snapped off inside the GameCube itself D:
what happened to iy?
i have my GameCube on my desktop no not a wallpaper but an emulator and the games are free
still have this . mine came with two controllers, a memory card, and mario Kart double dash. It was great fun
best games ever made were for the cubie
I tried to trade in my gamecube....they offered me $8 good luck to the robbers, i'm glad I didn't trade it in though, I love mine!
I tried to tell my friends about Gamecubes and they replied with: "Gamecube...? What's that?" I was so heart broken... I love to see people who recognize Gamecubes~ ^^
who stole my gamecube!!?? XD
I still love mine. We gave it to my cousin to play with, hopefully he likes it XD I have a Wii now, but nothing quite beats GameCube games! XD
I don't care what they say.I thought the gamecube was awesome,along with the games for it!
My fucking cousins soaked mine in water, it broke. My aunt might buy me a new one though I love all the Nintendo systems
Poeple stole your Gamecube? Sucks. I hope it wasn't some PS2 or Xbox gamer who just wanted to pick on you.
Awesome stamp! I'll use it! ^^
I still have my little black Gamecube! X3
I'm sorry about those burglarers and I hope you'll get a new Gamecube soon!
I'm sorry about those burglarers and I hope you'll get a new Gamecube soon!
I love mine.
I luff GameCubes. If ever mine got stolen it probably wouldn't end well. XD
I have a limited edition gamecube! And I love it above all my other consoles! I actually see it as a person. . . Don't send me to therapy. My friend told me about it and I don't like it.
I remember when I had to send my gamecube to Nintendo for repairs.
Something inside it needed to be replaced.

Officials Push French-U.S. Industry Cooperation
Book, Elizabeth G., National Defense
European firms are seeking `level-playing field' in U.S. weapons market
French and U.S. defense industrialists recently met to discuss how they could increase cooperation between both nations.
In an open letter to the Franco-American defense industrial community, Edward C. "Pete" Aldridge Jr., U.S. undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, and his French counterpart, Gen. Yves Gleizes, wrote that transatlantic cooperation between the two countries is more important than ever.
Aldridge and Gleizes said that both nations should work to improve interoperability, to jointly define future equipment needs and to strengthen the relationship between the French and American defense industries.
Many American and French officials noted that there are both cultural barriers and bureaucratic difficulties in working together. During the France-U.S. Defense Industry Business Forum, held in Baltimore in December, government and industry representatives from both countries discussed business opportunities and various initiatives designed to change procurement practices.
Among the changes sought by the French are more access to compete in U.S. defense programs, the streamlining of U.S. export-- control policies and a more-even playing field for transatlantic competition. "The forum sought to provide an understanding of the two business operating environments, as well as provide opportunities for face-to-- face meetings between French and U.S. executives," said Frank Cevasco, the conference chairman.
"There must be strong political will on both sides for French-U.S. industrial cooperation to succeed," said Francois de L'Estang, France's ambassador to the United States. "Progress on a joint declaration of principles for the defense industry would be very welcome," he said. Such a joint declaration of principles would go a long way toward building alliances, pooling scarce resources and leveraging technologies, he said. "Our respective governments must set rules to govern, in full respect of each country's national security regulations, to mutually benefit armament cooperation efforts," L'Estang said.
"The days are long gone when troops can forge their own musket balls around the campfire the night before the battle," Aldridge said. "Defense industries cannot be invented on the eve of a national emergency. Defense industries must be maintained [by government] in peacetime as well as in war, with the ability to ramp up as needed."
Aldridge recalled that on September 10, in a speech to his employees, he said that three of the last five major wars where the United States participated came by surprise. "Twenty-four hours later, that figure had been modified to four of six," he said. "This illustrates that ways must be found around sparse defense budgets to be prepared for conflict when necessary," Aldridge said. …

- » Full List: Outrageous Car-Buying Scams To Avoid
- » The Most Important Things To Do To Prep Your Car For Sale
- » 10 'Hidden' New-Car Bargains
For many families, buying a car is among the most expensive – and emotional – purchases they'll ever make. But while many astute shoppers may come to the table fully prepared with reams of reviews and pricing information on the makes and models of their dreams, they could well face a rude awakening at the hands of a shady, even unscrupulous salesperson or new-car dealership.
"People can get into trouble because no one has ever taught them how to really go about buying a car," says former car dealer and current consumer advocate and radio show host Nicole Markson. "People are not skilled at negotiating because they do it once every three to five years, while dealership personnel do it all day every day. The field is not level from the start."
According to the Better Business Bureau, issues with new-car dealers remain among the top consumer complaints, and even a cursory investigation on the topic opens the proverbial floodgates to torrents of woeful tales. While some grievances can be attributed to inattentive or rude personnel or overly aggressive salespeople, many consumers find themselves the victims of egregious tactics that would make even the most brazen hucksters shake their heads in disbelief. Consider these horror stories provided to us by Edmunds.com:
Consider what happened to a buyer in Clearwater, Fla., who amicably agreed upon both a new vehicle's transaction price and the amount his existing car would be worth in trade, only to later find that the former amount had since been inflated by the latter in the paperwork, thus negating the trade-in value altogether.
And then there's the Air Force Reserve staff sergeant near Salt Lake City, who was told by a salesperson that since the sergeant had served his country, the dealership would "take care of him." They sure did. The salesperson insisted he needed the soldier's credit card in order to quote a price on the model of his choice, only to charge $1,000 to the card and pressure the sergeant into signing a sales contract by claiming he'd already purchased the car.
Misrepresentations seem to be the most common complaints among car buying consumers. We've documented 10 of the most common new-car buying swindles, compiled with assistance from the experts at Edmunds.com, Autobytel.com, CarBuyingTips.com and ScamBusters.org.
Car-buying experts agree that one of the best ways to counter any suspected shenanigans is to simply head for the door. "If a consumer feels like he or she's dealing with a salesperson who is playing fast and loose the facts of the deal, the easiest thing to do is stand up, shake hands and walk away," suggests Edmunds.com features editor Carroll Lachnit. "If you really want the car, but just need time to sort through the parts of the deal on your own, tell the salesperson you want to sleep on it. He may tell you that it's a today-or-nothing deal, but don't fall prey to pressure like that. Nothing takes the wind out of a shell game faster than the departure of the 'mark.'"
If, after the fact, you feel you've been a victim of new-car buying fraud, first contact the dealership and give them a chance to correct the situation – many states require this before taking any subsequent action. Don't rule out the power of public persuasion, particularly with regard to social media. Document your problems on web sites like DealerRater and Yelp and on car-related sites like Edmunds.com, which maintain special sections for registering dealer complaints (prospective buyers should check such sites to see how other customers have been treated before shopping for a new vehicle). "Car dealers are starting to realize how important their online reputation can be and are wanting minimize negative reviews," Fidan says. "Warn the dealer you'll be posting negative reviews online if the problem is not taken care of – that should perk up their ears."
If the dealer won't make things right, contact the appropriate state agency, which is often the attorney general's office. Beyond that you'll need the assistance of an attorney.
Still, as they say, the best offense is a good defense, so be sure to keep a watchful eye out for any of the scams detailed in the in the following pages to help protect yourself in the clinches next time you set foot on a showroom floor.
10. "Back End" Add-Ons
According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, an average dealership loses $180 for every new model sold. While doesn't seem like a sound business model, there are far more ways for a dealership to make money and there's no more profitable way that the so-called "back end" of the deal. In addition to financing, you'll be offered – perhaps pressured is a better word – to purchase assorted add-ons that can suck the value out of what would otherwise be a good deal. These range from credit life insurance (conventional term-life or disability insurance is usually a better buy) to fabric protection (a can of Scotchguard can suffice), rustproofing (largely unnecessary with today's cars) and paint sealant (little more than a good coat of wax). Simply refuse to pay for any of these high-profit items and threaten to walk out on the deal if they're insisted upon. Buying a costly service contract that extends a manufacturer's warranty for an additional two years or more may seem like a good idea, but they're just insurance policies in which the actuarial odds favor the house and rarely deliver any real value for the money. If you feel it's a necessity, try to get the dealer to lower the price or, better yet, shop around after the fact (or even ahead of time) to find one for less money.
9. The Spot Delivery Scam
Perhaps among the most onerous of car-deal cons, this swindle involves sending a buyer – often one with sub-prime credit – home in a new vehicle before the final financing arrangements have been completed. The dealer calls back in a day or two to tell the customer there's a problem with the loan terms, subsequently subjecting him or her to a higher interest rate than expected and perhaps even requiring a larger down payment in order to qualify. The idea is that since the buyer has emotionally "bonded" with the vehicle by already taking possession, he or she will pay whatever it takes to keep it. Again, the best defense here is to shop around ahead of time for financing, especially to be aware of for which rates and terms you'll qualify given your credit rating.
8. Negative Equity Scams
Never trust dealers who promise to pay off your existing car loan – no matter how much you owe on it. Motorists who've bought their current vehicles with low down payments and long loan terms often have "negative equity" in them, meaning they owe more than the car is worth in trade. Sure, the dealer will pay off the loan, but will simply wrap the amount of negative equity into the new-car deal, resulting in a higher balance, a costlier monthly payment and even a longer loan term. You'll also be in the uncomfortable position of paying for two cars at the same time. It's better to hold onto your current car until it's paid for, or at least until the balance is whittled down sufficiently to realize actual equity.
7. Finessed Financing
Automakers regularly offer cut-rate financing on select models through their affiliated finance companies that can be real money savers. Unfortunately, as the ads state they're reserved "for qualified buyers only." While lenders have been easing up on their credit qualifications in recent months, only those with top FICO scores (usually 690 or better out of a maximum 850) will even come close to qualifying for the most favorable financing terms. Everyone else will be asked to pay higher rates and sometimes even a higher down payment; if your credit is particularly tarnished, you'll pay dearly. Even those with stellar credit might find themselves being quoted a higher rate at the dealership than they might garner elsewhere. Facilitating financing is a major profit center for new-car dealers. Always shop around for a car loan ahead of time among local banks (and a credit union if you're a member) to find the lowest rates for which you qualify. If the dealer can do better thanks to a promotional financing plan, so much the better; if not obtain a lower-cost loan elsewhere.
6. Fun With Numbers
There's a lot of paperwork involved in buying a new vehicle, and wading through it all can become unnerving when a salesperson or finance manager is waiting impatiently for you to sign at the bottom of each page. Those with an aversion to numbers and/or lacking math skills can find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. "Mistakes" in paperwork are common, and to no one's surprise they usually favor the dealer. The price of the car or trade-in value may not exactly be what's been agreed upon or the interest rate quoted may be inflated. Sometimes the discrepancies can be flagrant, such as when a buyer is asked to sign a leasing agreement thinking it was actually a sales contract, or when the value of a trade-in is "inadvertently" left out. In other cases the numbers may simply be off by a few hundred dollars or a half percent. Always take the time to read all documents carefully, make sure the numbers all jibe with what's been agreed upon and use a calculator to check the math before signing anything. And refuse to pay for spurious charges that may suddenly appear in the paperwork, like for "prep" and "advertising" that are essentially part of the dealer's cost of doing business.
5. Trade-In Tribulations
While a new-car buyer can usually get the most for his or her current ride by selling it outright to a private party, this is a time consuming process that's fraught with its own elements of peril. That's why most consumers choose the convenience of trading-in their cars at a dealership and using the proceeds as part (or all) of the down payment on a new model. Unfortunately a dealer may artificially inflate the value of your trade-in to help seal a deal and ultimately exact that cost – often more – by manipulating other aspects of the transaction. Always research the estimated trade-in value of a car ahead of time via an car valuation web site like Kelley Blue Book or NADA Guides to get an idea of what it might be worth, and always negotiate the trade-in value separately from the new car's price. It's often worthwhile to bring a car in to the dealership's used car department and get a bona fide trade-in quote ahead of time. Beware that salespeople have been known to hold the keys to a trade-in "hostage" while negotiating to pressure customers to buy a new car, so never just hand them over – always accompany the salesperson or used-car manager while they're giving your trade-in a once-over.
4. The 4-Square Method
This isn't so much of an outright swindle as it is a car dealer's equivalent of Three Card Monty. Only instead of trying to keep your eye on a particular card as its being shuffled around face down on a table, you have to keep your eye on the bottom line as a salesperson manipulates various aspects of a new-car deal. It's called the 4-square method because the salesperson often illustrates the various components of the transaction on paper sectioned into four squares. The idea is if a buyer focuses firmly in on one facet, usually the monthly payment, he or she can be easily fleeced by manipulating the other parts of the deal to the house's advantage. Fortunately, this scam is easy to counteract by simply treating each component as a separate transaction and to shop around for financing ahead of time to find the most favorable rates and terms. And never buy a car based solely on a given monthly payment.
3. Good For One Day Only
Some auto dealers loathe to let buyers cross-shop at multiple dealerships – or for that matter take the time to think a deal through before signing the paperwork – so they'll often do whatever they can to ensure one only walks out through the front door if it's with the keys to a new car. Typically, you'll be told that a given deal on a particular model will stand for that day only and will cost more if you decide to come back tomorrow. That's pure butcher shop-grade baloney. The only instance where this tactic might have a shred of truth is if a manufacturer's rebate is about to expire, and that usually happens only on the last day of the month.
2. Multiple Window Stickers
In addition to the standard window sticker that verifies a vehicle's retail price, you may also find another price tag that details charges levied for overpriced dealer-installed equipment and other add-ons that are typically of little value. Some dealerships use a second sticker to tack on additional charges to recover advertising expenses or for something that may be called "ADM," which is a clever way of collecting "additional dealer markup." Refuse to pay such charges outright, though they may be unavoidable for a just-introduced model, typically a long-awaited sports car, that's in short supply but is enjoying great demand.
1. Bait And Switch
This is the classic sleight of hand in which the promise of something – whether it's a dollars-off coupon, a low advertised price or interest rate, promised trade-in value or what seems to be a bona fide price quote from a web site – is used to lure a shopper into a dealer's showroom. After inhaling that new-car smell and getting in a buying state of mind he or she is told that the offer is expired, the price has gone up, the advertised car has already been sold or any other number of excuses why that particular offer is no longer in effect. Instead, the buyer is offered a higher priced vehicle, more expensive interest rate, lower trade-in value – you get the idea. If a dealership won't honor its offers, head for the door and find one that will.

- An event for thousands, but with many individual tales of victory
- May 25:
- Ethiopia dominates Bolder Boulder
- Weather helps Bolder Boulder citizens' race winners
- Moody back on track with spot in elite race
BOULDER — They couldn't keep up with him. No one else in the Bolder Boulder field could. What chance did two fans have of running alongside 19-year-old Ethiopian sensation Tilahun Regassa? Still, the green, yellow and red Ethiopian flags they carried in his wake represented more than Regassa's country.
It symbolized Ethiopia's flag flying atop the international running world.
Ethiopians going one-two in both the men's and women's 10-kilometer race Monday were only the small print in the book Ethiopians are writing on the world running scene.
"They're definitely the top running nation in the world," said Fasil Bizuneh, an American of Ethiopian descent who finished 15th.
Remember Kenya and its running factory? Ethiopia has turned it into a Stop & Shop.
In the last three world championships, Ethiopia has won 20 medals, including nine gold, to Kenya's 12 and five. Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele owns the world records in the men's 5,000 and 10,000 — he won both at the Athens Olympics — and Haile Gebrselassie, the 2000 Olympic winner in the 10,000, owns the marathon mark. Tirunesh Dibaba, who won Olympic gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 in Beijing, has the women's world mark in the 5,000.
If you look closely, that lion on Ethiopia's flag is wearing Nikes.
"Ethiopian athletes are believers," said Hussein Makke', a Beirut-raised manager of about 60 Ethiopian and many Kenyan distance runners. "This is the key right there. They are believers and they believe in themselves and they thrive on this confidence."
In Ethiopia, running is what football, basketball and baseball — combined — is in the U.S. It started in 1960 when Abebe Bikila won the Olympic marathon in Rome running barefoot. Since then, children have found no problem running up to 10 kilometers both ways to school every day. Ethiopia has a national club system that finds talent in the hinterland and brings it to the capital of Addis Ababa for training.
"They get top athletes employed, and they make very good salaries," Makke' said, "plus bonuses, plus awards."
How good is the life of the Ethiopian running star? Dibaba makes an estimated $500,000 and drives the streets of Addis Ababa in a BMW 750. Hospitals, banks, even the government are rushing to sponsor Ethiopian runners.
Gebrselassie, the first marathoner under 2 hours, 4 minutes, has parlayed his earnings into a 10-story office building, Ethiopia's first modern cinema and the biggest road race in Ethiopia, the Great Ethiopian Run.
The African championships in Addis Ababa last May filled the 30,000-seat national stadium, with another 100,000 outside trying to get in.
"I talked to African journalists who say they've been to European soccer matches that weren't that loud," Makke' said.
Ethiopia's poverty doesn't match those of surrounding East African countries, and many runners come from stable homes. However, Ethiopia's running program makes some saves that make UNICEF proud. Take Regassa. When he was 3 years old living in the village of Nazret, his parents divorced and his mother left him with his father while she moved in with a son in Odana Nebe Dukem. His father died when he was 15 and showing promise as a runner. However, he could not move in with his mother. Odana Nebe Dukem is four to five hours away by walking. It is not accessible by car.
Instead, for three years he lived in the streets. He worked for a stone company and when hungry, he'd go to a local hotel where they'd give him food.
He developed stomach problems, which he continues to have, but local coaches told Makke' about his promise. He found him last year living in the streets of Nazret. He hadn't run competitively in five years, but the Ethiopian system put him in a hotel, fed him and trained him. In his first half-marathon, in Lille, France, last year, he ran a 59:34, nearly breaking the junior record. He beat countryman Tadese Tola on Monday by 19 seconds in 28:17, the third-fastest time in Bolder Boulder history.
"I have a car now," said Regassa, who won $5,750. "I'm living in a rented home, and I'm about to buy a house. It's a big difference."

Stockpickr Lists: Buffett Eyeing Countrywide?
Stockpickr, we highlight lists of stocks that have been upgraded by analysts, or which are experiencing activist situations or other market-moving events. Rumors of the Day: Shares of Countrywide Financial (CFC) are 10% higher Tuesday after reports in the Wall Street Journal that billionaire investor Warren Buffett could be interested in parts of the company if they are sold.The Journal said Buffett could find the company's debt-servicing business and its portfolio of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities attractive. The stock surged $2.07 to $21.88. Today's Hot List: Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS - Get Report) reports second-quarter earnings of 83 cents a share, beating estimates by 6 cents. The company reported revenue of $1.01 billion, vs. $991.8 million consensus. The stock is increasing $4.32, or 7.8%, to $59.90. Analyst Downgrades: Goldman downgraded Tim Hortons (THI) to neutral from buy, on the basis of valuation relative to other restaurant plays. The firm sees the coffee and donut chain as a "safe haven" for investors because of strong fundamentals, but it also sees limited upside. Goldman gave Tim Hortons a $35 price target. The stock was dipping 22 cents at $32.03. Analyst Upgrades: Goldman upgraded Darden Restaurants (DRI - Get Report) to buy from neutral, on the basis of valuation. The firm also increased its price target to $50, as Darden's successful closure of its Rare Hospitality (RARE) acquisition and upward EPS revisions are driving shares higher. The stock is up $1.17, or 2.9%, to $41.47. Latest Activist Situations: In an amended regulatory filing on Freeport-McMoRan (FCX - Get Report), Atticus Capital disclosed that it had raised its stake in the company to 7.48%. In its original filing, Atticus said it had "met with, and may in the future continue to meet with, third parties to encourage them to consider strategic transactions." The stock is increasing $1.95, or 2.4%, to $81.91.Editor's Note: In this feature from

- "Ka-boom! The cell door rockets to the sky."
- —Description[src]
Bombarda is the incantation of a charm used to provoke small explosions; one use for this explosion is to blast open sealed doors or to blow bars off of windows. The incantation Bombarda Maxima is a stronger, more powerful variation of this spell.
The incantation is Portuguese for "bombard" or "blast"[1].

Behind the scenes
- This spell was first seen in the third film; in the book, however, Hermione uses a safer unlocking spell. In the French translation of the film, the incantation remains "Alohomora".
- If Hermione Granger's usage had been canon, the spell would thus have been taught in third year or earlier for her to know it (unless, of course, she'd come across it in a book somewhere).
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) (Possible appearance)

My boyfriend and I have been together for over three years, and we've just decided to start trying for a baby. He loves biking. He had been using his bike as his primary mode of transportation until last fall/winter when he developed problems with his knees from the excessive biking; then he bought a car and primarily uses that now. However, he just got a job that's very close to where he's living right now, and he's considering using his bike to save on gas. My concern is that this might inhibit our chances of conceiving.
When I first met him in June of 2008, he hadn't been doing a lot of biking. He started biking a lot in order to come see me (about 8 miles away). The first month we were together, he said he would experience numbness and tingling in his genital area after biking, so he immediately got a better bike seat. It's a lot wider and cushiony, and it dips in the middle (I guess to cradle the balls). He says he hasn't had the numbness/tingling since getting that seat years ago and that he doesn't even sit on his balls or anything. Anyway, is there any chance that biking affects fertility? He definitely has no erection problems, but we've never tested his sperm count. Any help is appreciated!

Is it a trainer fic if...

From what I understand, "Trainer fic" is the term given to any Pokemon fic that follows the basic life of a Pokemon trainer. They actively train Pokemon. That's what they do. Given what you mentioned of your plot, I would call it a trainer fic. But just as long as you put a unique spin on it and don't simply follow a "beat Gyms, save world" with the trainer only having little to no personality (or my favorite personality: the friendly but loner cool kid) and the Pokemon only being treated like tools of war.
So it's not like we'll say "It's a trainer fic! Don't write it!" Instead, we'll say that you should still write your fic so we can see your own personal take on the genre.

BTSR will offer two different SCUBA programs during the course of the summer. This has been an exciting addition to our programs, especially since the participants will get to dive at a favorite hot spot of divers from all over the state: Balmorhea State Park!
Scouts will have the opportunity to earn the SCUBA, BSA award during any of the eight weeks of camp. Those Scouts and Venturers wanting a little more training will be able to earn their open water diver certification during the weeks of June 27-July 3, July 11-17, and July 25-31. Read on for more details about each of these exciting programs!
All participants of BTSR SCUBA programs are required to go online to watch the SCUBA safety video, and participants of the Open Water Diver Certification must complete the online SCUBA education classes as well. These courses can be completed over time, instead of in one sitting. The safety video and classes can be found at https://www.divessi.com/online_training.

I had a dream that I could fly
I can feel each moment as time goes by
We'd never be too far away,
You would always be here, I heard you say
I never thought
Thought that it would be our last goodbye
I still can dream
That one day love will fall out from the sky
Do you still remember all the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above
I'll be waiting for you, if you still believe in love
Dennis Martin
If You Still Believe
Legend of Dragoon is my fave game ever. since I played this game about 10 years ago, I always think dragoon armor is very amazing and I always imagine how it feels to wear that dragoon armor. since I started cosplay, cosplaying one of Legend of Dragoon character become my goal. So I did learn bit by bit how to create armor. Experience is my teacher. After about 2-3 years armor experiments, finally I dared to do it. I believe i can do it. So here's the result. the shape isnt perfect but i really love and proud with it

Wow my favorite costume of this that I've ever seen.
I was somewhat sort of watching a slide show of all artisan crafts from across the room while working on a few things. I looked up, saw this, and RAN to my computer. It's so rare for me to hear of someone who even heard of this game, let alone a cosplay of it!!! I love it!!!!!!
Got so giddy seeing this pic! Love LoD and always wanted to cosplay as either Rose or Meru <3

(UPDATE:) David Graeber: Occupy Wall Street rediscovers the radical imagination (Guardian 25.9.2011)
While the Guardian is sending an anthropologist on fieldwork among bankers to give us insight in the destructive culture of finance, thousands of people in New York are occupying the Wall Street, "the financial Gomorrah of America" and "greatest corrupter of our democracy".
Inspired by the massive public protests in Cairo?s Tahrir Square and Madrid?s Puerta del Sol Square, hundreds have slept outside near Wall Street for the past three nights. The campaign "Occupy Wall Street" began on Saturday when thousands gathered in New York City?s Financial District.
As Egyptian researcher Maha Abdelrahman said a few months ago, we might be witness to a global revolutionary movement against neoliberalism.
Most protesters are under 30, and "over-educated and under-employed" according to the Guardian.
"We have a president who tells us to do the right thing, to go to school, to get a better life, but I'm not getting a better life. I am a new college graduate and I have $50,000 of college debt built up while studying business management at Berkeley. I can't find a job to pay it off", says one of them, 26 year old Romeo.
"Who is here? Young people and students with college debts. They want to talk to the people who took away their future", explains anthropologist David Graeber who is one of the protesters.
Graeber has just a few weeks ago published his new book Debt: The First 5,000 Years where he highlights the exploitative nature of debts and ?virtual credits?. According to a review in the Financial Times by anthropologist Gilian Tett:
Graeber insists that debt is intrinsically linked to power, since credit can be used to exploit or control people. And the power is doubly effective, he adds, because debt is so overlaid with moral context. There is no better way to justify unequal power relations than ?by reframing them in the language of debt ? because it immediately makes it seem that it?s the victim which is doing something wrong?
In an interview with Democracy Now Graeber compares the current economic crisis in Europe and the U.S. with the so-called Third World debt crisis.
The austerity regimes that are being imposed now on Europe and on America are remarkably similar to what happened?you know, what used to be called the Third World debt crisis. First you declare a financial debt?a financial crisis. You bring in these people who are supposedly neutral technocrats, who are in fact enforcing this extreme neoliberal ideology. You bypass all democratic accountability and impose things that no one ever possibly have agreed to. It?s the same thing.
And one reason it?s happening to us now is that there was really successful mobilization around the world against those policies. In a lot of ways, the global justice movement was successful. The IMF was kicked out of East Asia. It was kicked out of Latin America. And now it?s come home to us.
After quick googling it seems that American mainstream media covers the protest mainly as a police story with focus on arrests, see New York Times or CBS or Business Week.
So we have to turn to Russia Today: Occupy Wall Street ? America?s own Arab Spring? or the Guardian: Wall Street protesters: over-educated, under-employed and angry and The call to occupy Wall Street resonates around the world.
Or of course to alternative media and the official website of the campaign https://occupywallst.org/

"Egyptian activists are lending their support to a planned protest in Washington, DC, which US activists hope will become an open-ended sit in modeled on the Tahrir Square protests that helped bring down former President Hosni Mubarak", according to the newpaper Al-Masry Al_Youm:
The demonstration, which is being organized under the banner ?human needs not corporate greed,? will be held on 6 October, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the start of the US occupation of Afghanistan and as the recently passed US budget takes effect.
Egyptian activists plan to hold a concurrent protest in Tahrir Square.

"The Third World debt crisis"? Are you serious? Is this what they are telling the american people? The debt crisis was created by the US and the US is most certainly feeling the brunt. I find it strange that it's taken this long for the people to take to the streets but "Third World debt crisis" explains it all.
Of course. It's the same neoliberal policies everywhere, dictated by IMF/Worldbank. As Graeber says: " The IMF was kicked out of East Asia. It was kicked out of Latin America. And now it's come home to us."
But I admit my headline might be easy to misunderstand, changed it now

Osage Orange
Wood Anecdote
Osage Orange
In early geologic time there were many species in the Osage orange family. Today, however, it stands alone as the only tree in the world that is the sole species in a genus.
Fossils indicate that Osage orange (Maclura pomifera) once grew naturally well outside its native range of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, and Arkansas. Then it retreated, perhaps ahead of advancing glaciers. Thousands of years later, because it was cultivated and planted by settlers as inexpensive fencing, it once again spread. Now, you may even find Osage orange growing in the eastern states and well into the Great Plains.
Wherever Osage orange grew, it had many a use. At one time, a Plains Indian brave would gladly trade a horse and blanket for a bow made of the wood. The reputation of such bows spread widely from the land of their makers-the Osage Indians of Arkansas and Missouri. Bows of this hard, strong wood even were found by explorers in use as far north as Montana. That's why in many parts of the nation the wood carries the name bois d'arc, French for wood of the bow. Americanized, the term becomes bowdark.
Harder and stronger than even white oak, Osage orange was once cut for railroad ties. While other woods for ties lasted but a few years, Osage orange served for 20! And many a Midwestern farm still has fence posts of the wood in place after a century.
Because of Osage orange?s hardness and durability, it often was used for wagon wheels. Highly decay-resistant, it was even laid as paving blocks. In today's world, however, the wood is scarce as lumber. Yet sanded smooth and oiled, Osage orange beats all others for cutting boards that will stand up to a blade.
The genus Maclura has 12 species worldwide. Four tree species that I can think of off the top of my head (2 of them American natives) have one species in their genus: Sequoia (redwood), Seqouiadendron (giant sequoia), and the Chinese Metasequoia (dawn redwood) and Ginkgo. The latter happens to be the only tree in its *division* (Ginkgophyta). No other seed plant resembles it.1/3/2015 11:36:31 PM Report Abuse
