Now we've all heard of stories where a candidate has bounded on stage at a campaign rally and cheerfully shouted, "Good evening, Dogs Breath, Idaho (or whatever)!", only to discover that he's in Armpit, Nebraska (or wherever). In the midst of a hectic campaign, it can happen.
However, V S Acharya, from the Bharatiya Janata Party, India's leading opposition party, has probably trumped all of them. In Udupi, he was forced to cut short a fiery campaign speech when he received a volley of abuse from the assembled throng. It seems that he was addressing a rally of Congress Party supporters!
I'm hoping for his sake that he turned up at the right venue, and that the date was wrong. Oh well, perhaps Damian McBride could do some media management for him, he'll have some time on his hands...

The Partnership's distributable cash flow for the fourth quarter 2012 of $86.4 million corresponds to distribution coverage of approximately 1.0 times the $90.9 million in total distributions to be paid on February 14, 2013 (see the section of this release entitled "Targa Resources Partners - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, gross margin, operating margin and distributable cash flow, and reconciliations of such measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")). For the full year 2012, the Partnership's distributable cash flow of $353.9 corresponds to distribution coverage of 1.1 times the $310.4 million in total distributions declared with respect to 2012."We are pleased to report the Partnership's record full year Adjusted EBITDA of $515 million despite a lower commodity price environment, impacts from Hurricane Isaac and one-time transaction expenses related to the Badlands acquisition. These results demonstrate the diversity in our businesses and our increasing fee-based margin from projects placed in service in recent years," said Joe Bob Perkins, Chief Executive Officer of the general partner of the Partnership and of Targa Resources Corp. "Our current organic investment program, with $1.7 billion of announced growth capital projects expected to come on line in 2013 and 2014, provides high visibility to our increasing fee-based margin and EBITDA growth, and we continue to evaluate other potential opportunities to add to our announced projects. With $1.1 billion in growth investments expected to be placed in service by the fourth quarter of 2013, we expect to exit 2013 a larger, more diversified company than we are today. Similarly, the Badlands acquisition with its ongoing capital investment program is a fee-based growth project in process. We expect that our significant focus on 2013 expansion efforts for this business will result in growth that is accretive to 2014."

Vivus, Orexigen: Small-Cap Winners
TheStreet) -- Biotech stocks were in play in the small-cap space on Monday, with shares of Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX - Get Report) among the biggest gainers after it released data that showed that its diet drug Contrave did not increase blood pressure in obese and overweight patients. In February, regulators denied approval of the drug, saying they needed more clinical evidence that it did not pose cardiovascular risks to patients. Shares were soaring 16% to $3.33. Vivus (VVUS - Get Report) also saw its stock surge after it said a study showed that its experimental weight-loss drug, Qnexa, helped patients sustain weight loss of greater than 10% over two years. The drug also helped cut down blood pressure while improving lipid levels. Shares were soaring 9% to $6.88 on volumes of over 10 million shares in noon trading.NEW YORK (
Adeona Pharmaceuticals (AEN), Pluristem Therapeutics (PSTI) and Aastrom Biosciencies (ASTM) were other stocks that were posting big gains Monday.

|Art from the Heart: Four Local Students Explore Healing with Horses
|News Releases - Health, Medicine & Nutrition
|Written by Brittany Marietta
|Tuesday, 07 August 2012 08:39
While the start of the school year finds many reminiscing about lazy summer days of play and relaxation, four young local artists spent a week of their vacation exploring the unique healing powers of horses. As part of the Murals course at Rivermont Collegiate Summer Camp 2012, four students created a truly impressive 5' x 7' mural on canvas drop cloth to be displayed in the arena/pole barn at Juan Diez Rancheros in Davenport.
Before beginning, students spoke with Juan Diez Rancheros about their mission and explored the purpose of their mural. Juan Diez Rancheros is a non-profit program offering free horse therapy for children who have been abused or emotionally traumatized, with the use of rescued horses. The program is unlike any other horse therapy offered in the Quad Cities, with testimonials describing children who have become more conversational, trusting, expressive, and patient after interacting with the horses.
Rivermont students Dwira Nandini (5th grade), Asha Alla (5th grade), Adam Chamberlain (6th grade), and Maryam Rasheed (6th grade) chose to paint a young girl interacting with a horse with the Centennial Bridge in the background. This was an ambitious project – work was completed in only about two days! Dwira, Asha, Adam, and Maryam chose the bridge to represent the Quad Cities and symbolize "bridging the gap" - connecting the child's heart with the horse's heart. They chose to paint silhouettes so that any child could picture themself as the subject of the mural. The group brainstormed for the ideal words to encircle the image, with each student ultimately selecting one of the four – caring, hope, friendship, and healing. Maryam explained the soft, cool colors were chosen to express a mood of friendship and bonding. Her favorite aspects of the project included painting the figures – the girl and the horse having "a moment" – and learning how horses can connect to children and help them overcome trauma.
Students delivered the mural to Juan Diez Rancheros on Friday, August 3rd and it has been described as an "incredible display of inspiration." Tremendous thanks go out to the leaders of the Murals course, Dominic Velando and Laura Klavitter, without which this project could not have been completed.

I was deeply offended by the editorial cartoon in (Sept. 9's) paper on George W. Bush. I admire Bush on how he has behaved since leaving office. I admire him for many other things also.

After reading the article on the Mary Frances boat on the Black Warrior River, I think it would be a great idea for the Bama Belle to offer rides to underprivileged children either for free or for $1.

ogs Reveal rexas fulf Coast
story, 1866-1900
FIVE OLD DIARIES, recording proof of the tragedies and trivi-
alities of those who lived in the Corpus Christi-Port
Aransas area from 1866 to the turn of the century, were
opened to the public eye in July, 1957.
Corpus Christi's La Retama Library has microfilm copies of
five of the six-or possibly seven-original diaries kept by Robert
A. Mercer, and later his sons, John G. and Edward T. Mercer,
pioneer pilots on the Port Aransas coast. Thorough daily records,
each beginning with the state of the wind and weather and ending
in the same manner, were kept only from 1866 through 1877 by
the chroniclers, but additions were made from time to time
until 1900oo.
Four of the weather-beaten books were loaned to La Retama
Library for microfilming purposes by R. L. Mercer of Aransas
Pass, grandson of the original log author, Robert A. Mercer. A
fifth diary was obtained from Mrs. L. B. Gentry of Corpus Christi,
also a grandchild of the first recorder. A sixth diary, written after
1881, was lost in the 1919 Corpus Christi hurricane when the
entire ground floor of one of the Mercer descendant's home was
destroyed. At the time, the other five logs, upstairs in the same
house, were left untouched by waters. Descendants believe that at
one time there was also a seventh log, since available records from
1870 through 1876 are not long enough to contain complete
information for these years.
The Mercer logs' existence as historical records was made known
to the public in July, 1957, when the Corpus Christi library se-
cured special microfilming permission from the family. The
Corpus Christi Caller-Times printed a series of four feature
articles concerning the logs and their contents from August 5
through August 8 that year.

Yes, the angle is like one of your photos. I was a bit curious if you would notice. Thanks. It was a very unusual angle, and quite captivating, I thought. I'm glad you like the drawing.
Wonderful colours, detailed too...
It's really hard to come up with something different working so small but this is terrific.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I'm enjoying the fact that they are so small and thus quick to finish. Only 1-5 hours, rather than 10-40.
As usual...I love it.
This is fantastic! I love the colors and the detail. Very beautiful!
Beautiful! I really like how the eye and the nose are shaded smoothly. You rendered the fur very well, and I love how I can see the different directions the fur is going.

Brighton's probably still pretty expensive.
It starts with a vanguard class of young creative types reclaiming zones of social and economic dereliction, setting up what Ehrenhalt sardonically describes as "projects through which a small coterie of local artists seek to display their sheer edginess to one another". The hipster pioneers are followed by young couples with bourgeois-bohemian sensibilities – what the French call "bobo" – who breed and fill the pavements with space-age prams. I was that cliché once, wheeling my daughters around Hackney in the gentrificational transition between murder rates falling and Foxtons arriving on the high street. Then come the really wealthy types who like urban edge fully blunted by waves of demographic change. Before you know it a draughty three-bedroom Victorian terraced house in what was once a slum costs more than £1m. [more inside]
" ... and what a stunning voice it is"
We wanted to create something quite muscular and meaty. I was getting a little disenchanted with boring wet music. I wanted something with some kind of punch to it ...Esben and the Witch formed in 2008 after neophyte guitarist Thomas Fisher bumped into old friend Rachel Davies on the street in Brighton and asked if she'd like to be in a band. Together with multi-instrumentalist Daniel Copeman, they started making a kind of bruised, ghostly electro goth-pop that drew comparisons with dubstep and witch house. Then things changed. Their third album, A New Nature, recorded with Steve Albini after a successful Kickstarter campaign, sees the band step away from their electro-pop origins, combining English-major Davies' lyrical obsessions with Herman Hesse and Jack London with the band's love of uncompromising noise, psych, and transcendent post rock. A New Nature, released last month, can be streamed via Stereogum.
Christmas? Bah, humbug!
There's a slight problem with Brighton's Christmas Lights. (SLV, Probably NSFW)
London to Brighton in four minutes across sixty years.
London to Brighton, side by side. "In 1953 the BBC made a point-of-view film from a London to Brighton train. 30 years later it did the same again. And after another 30 years it did so once more." [more inside]
"People treated it with respect, but didn't particularly enjoy it."
In 1973, The Who released their sixth album, Quadrophenia. The epic double album tells the story of a boy named Jimmy Cooper who deals with mental illness on top of the run-of-the-mill stresses of teen life. But Jimmy Cooper isn't just any London teen. Jimmy Cooper is a Mod. [more inside]
Shut up and listen
Shut Up and Listen is a radio show by and for artists and DJs with learning disabilities aired on five stations in the UK. Produced by the Brighton-based charity Carousel, the organizers also run Blue Camel Club, England's largest music night for learning disabled artists and their fans in the UK with regular attendance of more than 600 people.

The Leisure Society would seem to have appeared fully formed from nowhere. They spring out of the Wilkommen Collective, a Brighton based consortium which also includes Sons of Noel and Adrian , Shoreline and many others. Like a baroque style UK version of Elephant 6 only with added busking skills.
Anita Roddick dies of stroke
Obitfilter: Anita Roddick (1942-2007). Anita Roddick, who founded the Body Shop in Brighton's North Laine in 1976, has died of a stroke at St. Richard's hospital in Chichester. The shop, in Kensington Gardens, has long since closed - it's now an optician - but stories about it are still recounted. Although Body Shop is still based in nearby Littlehampton, the controlling interest was sold last year to L'Oreal for the tidy sum of $1.3bn, allowing Ms Roddick to concentrate on her campaigning work.

Tuk Tuk Insanity - Revisited
Two girls, three wheels, 10,000 miles travelled: their epic overland adventure from Bangkok to Brighton comes to a successful end. Previously discussed here. The two girls (women, really) and their pink tuk tuk arrived home in Brighton on September 3rd. Many were skeptical that they would be able to make it; at least one poster seemed to be putting down a monetary wager against their success. Perhaps now is the time to stand by that bet and donate some money to the charity they are raising money for? People interested in the details of their journey should check out their blog; more than just a log of their daily activities, they add some interesting details regarding the culture and history of some of the places they visited. They aren't the first to have made a ridiculously long journey in a tuk tuk; a german couple drove around Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe last year (although there were apparently some ferries involved). Tuk tuk appreciation appears to be wide-spread in England; a "motorised rickshaw service" recently started up with compressed natural gas vehicles.
Bangkok to Britain in a tricycle
Two girls, three wheels, 10,000 miles: an epic overland adventure from Bangkok to Brighton. Two women are about to embark on a very long and very uncomfortable voyage: driving a "tuk tuk" from Thailand to Britain to raise £50,000 for the mental health charity Mind.
Calling all Peytons
All I have to do is change my name to Peyton, motivate my girlfriend to marry me and have a baby, and hey presto! young Peyton will receive a six-figure scholarship to Brighton College in England, explains the BBC because the college can't fulfil the bequest by former pupil Derek Wakehurst Peyton. Brighton looks a nice place so roll up all Peytons, the college principal is spreading "the net wider to the United States, Australia and beyond." Second thoughts ... maybe simpler for me simply to motivate her to change her name ...
Bus-tin' loose with the homes
What do Norman Cook (AKA Fat Boy Slim), Lord (Richard) Attenborough, Aubrey Beardsley, Lord (Laurence) Olivier, Sir Winston Churchill, Magnus Volk, Dame Anna Neagle, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Rowland Hill and Annie Nightingale, have in common?
They've all had a bus named after them [full list here] in the city of Brighton & Hove on the south coast of England. In Jamaica the buses are named a little more irreverently but this whole naming tradition doesn't seem to be as popular as naming trains with the late Joe Strummer one of the latest in a long line. Pix of the Stummer train here. [Scroll down a bit.]
Anyone live in a place where they name their buses? Or other inanimate objects?

The Brighton Daddy Longlegs Railway
The Brighton Daddy Longlegs Railway ran offshore along the beach at Brighton, UK, at the turn of the 20th century. Designed by Magnus Volk, it ran on 24 feet high stilts, over the sea, and required a trained sea captain to operate it. For a few years, it was quite the tourist attraction. The rest of Volk's Electric Railway is still in operation.
Disco inferno
Brighton West Pier is on fire. Could this be the 'final end' for this historic UK landmark?

Weird cycle lanes of Brighton (and Hove, actually). 'This website grew out of an article...claiming that some cycle lane up north was the shortest in Britain. What! I thought, we have many many much shorter lanes!!' Not so much a competition, more an amusing photolog of some of the more ridiculous attempts at creating cycle lanes in Brighton, UK...are they this bad in other cities around the world?

Mount Pleasant was a convenient overnight stop; the town was not a destination. The person checking us in was friendly and attentive. The sites are large enough for a 42 ft. Big Rig with a tow vehicle and have convenient hookups. There is water, electric, and sewer hookup. The cable TV channel list was extensive and the Wi-Fi worked well. The campground was quiet, even though it was near a train track and a highway intersection. The bathrooms are immaculate and the sites are very clean.
We would stay here again for a night or 2 stop. - 600 Day Travelers

easy access from the freeway, 102 channels of cable tv, spotless private unisex bathrooms, good wifi, long gravel pull throughs, wide sites bordered with green grass, water hookup still available inspite of freezing temperatures, no fenced dog park but lots of nice green grass including a long, long mowed circular walk for walking your dog, friendly and accomodating staff, clean laundry room $1.5 to wash, $1 to dry. Might be good to call ahead because when we stopped there in November they only had one other site available. Rate was with Good Sam discount. - Markk

Good Sam discount. Stayed one night. Gravel interior roads and sites. All pull-thrus. Angled the way they should be. Length is over 80 foot on some. Did hear lots of train air horns.

We found this park when the one just off the freeway was full. Nice alternative. Very quiet small park. Owner lives on site and was always working around the place. There are some nice ponds on the property with expansive mowed lawns around them with places to walk dogs. Most of the back in sites have large shade trees. We used a more open pull through site. Didn't use the rest room/showers so can't comment on them. We did hear some train noise but not too bothersome. - Nautical Wheelers

in response to mvasilakis13*Pasted below is my result (just sent to me via e-mail) and it was revised to $0.00 - the DVD was working when it was sent to them. With this said, I believe they are in the business to sustain/preserve themselves as an organization and will not [the majority of the time] honor their original quote. Be careful as this may not be the route for you...*

in response to abcAppleHi abc, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
A few things I'm not clear on:
Their original quote/best case scenario was $78.70?
Why wouldn't you sell it on eBay, or for parts, for more than that?
If that's what they quoted you, and now they won't give you that, why not just have them ship it back to you free of charge (as they said they'd do in earlier posts in this thread)? And then sell it for more or donate it and take it as a tax deduction (worth more than $78.70)?
I know I'll never use this service, so it doesn't matter to me in that respect, but it sure would be nice to have accurate, unbiased information posted here for those who do want to use it.
kmsarno Sep 23, 2010 12:08 AM
in response to mvasilakis13I just accepted a quote from PowerOn.
It was quote number 96880. It was for a Mac Pro 1,1 vintage 2006. It was model MA356LL/A, which is a quad-core dual 5100-series ("Woodcrest") Xeon 3.0GHz, about 4 1/2 years old. It had 16GB of DRAM, the most that particular model could take.
I used it constatnly with few problems the entire time I owned it. I had (2 years ago) upgraded the video card from the original ATI very hot card to an NVIDIA 8800 model Apple was selling especially for the Mac Pro 1,1. Apple's original 500GB hard drive failed last year, and I had replaced it with a Seagate 1TB drive that as of two weeks ago reported no errors or problems and no replaced sectors or pending bad sectors in the SMART utility. This 1TB drive was in the machine when I sent it to PowerON, the original bad drive had long since been recycled.
I upgraded both original Apple "superdrives" with (now discontinued) Pioneer 117D's, which were essentially in brand-new condition.
This computer was far from new, but it was still serviceable and was working just fine when I secure-erased the disk and re-installed Snow Leopard before shipping it to PowerOn on the 9th or 10th of September (i.e. less than two weeks ago).
Power-on's original quote based on my description of the machine as "good" was $740.54.
Power-on's "audit" determined that the condition of the machine was "poor" due to what they described only as a "defective system board". Exactly what the defect or problem was, was not specified. No further details were given. I have no idea what problem they discovered. I know the machine was running when I sent it to them. It's entirely possible that an exhaustive hardware probe turned up a problem of which I was unaware...but it would certainly have been nice if they had bothered to tell me what it was. It was a running computer with a lot of memory.
After the "audit", Power-On revised their quote down from $740.54 to $215.88.
I accepted it mostly because I just don't want to mess with it any more. I have my new Westmere 6-core mac pro installed (and I love it, by the way), and don't feel like wrestling with any more 60-lb boxes. If I had them ship the old computer back, I would just have driven it to my local recycling center. I don't like ebay, especially with used computers. I think that this attitude is common, and that PowerOn and similar enterprises rely on it.
I make no judgment or generalization about PowerOn. I am simply providing all the information I have concerning my own single recent transaction.
I personally would not use PowerON's service again, but this is just one person's experience.
asbioeng3444 Nov 30, 2010 12:10 PM
in response to mvasilakis13I will not use PowerOn again because of their lack of communication. I have been patiently waiting on my audit but it has yet to come and my computer was delivered to them almost 4 weeks ago. My first email was answered quickly but my last one has yet to be answered.
silikon Jan 3, 2011 2:35 PM
in response to mvasilakis13The quotes I got for a couple computers I have are silly low and are easily blown out of the water by looking at some closed auctions on eBay.
hollogeo Feb 10, 2011 7:28 PM
in response to mvasilakis13I have to agree with all those who conclude that PowerOn's business practices are highly suspect. They seem to be no more than a bait and switch operation.
In my case, I sent them my Mom's iMac G5. In perfect condition - my mom had only ever used it to check email. Never any problems. Their original quote was $132.17. Upon receiving the computer they changed their offer to $47.97, claiming the computer was in "poor condition".
It surprises me that Apple would risk sullying their brand by associating with these scammers. In the very least, I think Apple should investigate what these guys are doing, because it is not right.
Conclusion: do not use PowerOn to recycle your computer - they will cheat you.
Jim431 Feb 15, 2011 11:06 PM
in response to hollogeoIn defense of Power ON, you have a choice of accepting the amount they give you after their assessment of your machine, and they ship the computer back to you for free if you decide that you are unhappy or if there is a different amount. They also provide shipping supplies (Which includes foam, the box, and a shipping label) for computers that have value on the web page. I got quotes from a lot of different buy back programs but none of them offered to pay for all the materials needed to ship a computer.
I didn't get the full amount on the website, but they explained why in an email, and it made sense.

in response to mvasilakis13I got a quote from them yesterday for my mac mini of 212 dollars and some change. When I received the confirmation email from them later and clicked the link I couldn't find the quoted dollar amount anywhere. Even though they just sent out the packaging materials to me today, I am hesitant to use the service if I can't even access the original quote. I am skeptical of any service that has you send in your computer especially if they don't provide you with any proof of the quote. The only other option is that I am just not looking in the right place. Any suggestions or advice? Should I avoid this service altogether and just try to sell it on craigs?
jcphot Mar 2, 2011 5:48 AM
in response to mvasilakis13We recently looked up Apples recycle program contracted by Poweron Services Inc. After accurately describing our unit and receiving an offer of $352.17 we received their approved shipping container and label. We packed and shipped as instructed. After about a week or so, we get an email with photos of some computer with horrible damage and an offer of $59.00. This is not the condition of the unit we sent them, there was no damage at all and the unit ran. I spent 1/2 a day using the unit and have several witnesses to this effect that saw me use and pack the unit. After several inquires these kind of problems seem to be a pattern with this company. And what would I gain by sending them a unit that was in such bad condition and lie about it? I challenged there findings and they offered me 94.00??
We did take the money assuming that if we had it shipped back that we would be left with a now damaged unusable unit.
Something happened to this unit after it left our hands and as Poweron stated there was no shipping damage. Several things ring as suspect behavior. 1.There are several complaints of this nature against this company. 2.The nature of the scratches in the photographs provided by Poweron are clearly suspicious they look intentional. I am not sure how something like that would even happen.And I would certainly not send a unit out in that condition and expect full payment?? 3. I also find it strange that after questioning them about this that they offered me more money so they didnt have to send it back?? A whole 94.00 still much less than the original quote.
Apple needs to address these complaints they are responsible for the quality of the vendors they use.
mschief02 Mar 23, 2011 7:05 AM
in response to mvasilakis13Whatever you do, do NOT use PowerOn for recycling purposes. Kiss your Mac or computer goodbye once you send it off. I sent a MacBook in a couple weeks ago and I have not heard anything back from them. I have tried contacting them only for them to tell lies, "oh, it will be another 2 weeks", sounds like a broken record. First of all, it takes forever for them to send the packing materials, especially if you are on the east coast. Second, the packing box itself has been used quite a few times, not exactly what I want to put a pricey piece of equipment in. Thirdly, you get an e-mail from them asking where the equipment is even if you haven't receied the packing materials yet! Forth, it takes forever!! I am a month and a half in and there has been no progress whatsover from their part. All I can say is, this is a scam and I will be filing a legal report.
To sum it all up, they get your computer. They keep it and don't give it back. It is a scam PERIOD! Beware of this service. I can not believe Apple allows them to advertise on their site.
PowerON Services Apr 1, 2011 12:45 PM
in response to mschief02This program has been successfully running for nearly a year, with thousands of computers processed and gift cards fulfilled to satisfied customers. The reason for this success is our ongoing dedication to excellent customer service. While customers have complete control of this process and may choose to accept a quote or not, and have their unit returned to them at no cost, less than 2% have been dissatisfied with their final quote and have chosen to have their computers returned.
While we can appreciate that our happy and satisfied customers are less likely to post about their positive experience, and every company has its critics, this post is of concern to the team at PowerON.
It is our assumption, since the 'legal report' the author mentions has yet to be received at PowerON, that this customer did indeed either receive a gift card for an amount they approved, or their unit returned at no cost to them. If this is NOT the case, this customer should contact PowerON and request to speak to the program manager as soon as possible.
PowerON Services Apr 1, 2011 1:11 PM
in response to jcphotAs we explained in several emails to this particular customer, the reason for the deduction of this quote was for the defective system board, not the cosmetic scratches on the case. As for the photos, we explained how we take photos of any damage at extreme close up and because of this, some scratches may appear more extreme than if you were seeing the scratches in person. We followed up with this customer with new photos showing that indeed the damage to the case was insignificant and the unit did not incur any shipping damages. We even offered to return this unit and cancel the gift card he had already approved. He opted to keep the $94. If a customer is ever unsatisfied with a quote, we offer to send their unit back at no cost to them. This is at an expense to PowerON – the costs of human resources to process the return shipment and the cost of actual shipment, it was in an effort to mitigate these costs that we offered this customer additional money.
PowerON Services Apr 1, 2011 1:20 PM
in response to Jim431Thank you for your post and for appreciating the value of our shipping solution!
nimik Apr 3, 2011 6:53 AM
in response to mvasilakis13I didn't check this discussion board before I sent in my computer to PowerOn. I haven't had a negative experience like other reviewers, and I do understand PowerOn's comment that the users do not post the positive experience as often as after the negative experience. So, I wanted to share my experience with PowerOn.
I have recycled two computers. (I am waiting for the price after the audit for the second one right now but the recycling of the first one is completed). I sold Apple iMac G5 1.9 GHz 17" iSight (MA063LL/A) for $143.87. I understand that this is not much (and in fact PowerOn is selling this computer for $409 on their website). I could have brought it to the local BestBuy to get different estimate or tried to sell it on eBay but selling to PowerOn was just less hassle for me. They send you materials, you just pack it, and drop it off at FedEx. Because of the shipping back and forth, it does take time. So, I would not have used it, if I had needed the money immediately. Still, I am happy that I received the gift card with the price that was quoted initially. (I used the price quote page just to make sure that the price of the gift card matched with the initial quote. ) I will update my experience with the second computer once I receive the gift card.

Boned and tossed with my taco mixn's and done! It was also cheaper to buy a pre cooked whole bird than frozed chicken breast! Had to share :)by JennaC2010 on 31st March 2011845Vote!

Remember HALT- Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. What ever it is you must take care of it. Don't ignore the signs. Take time each day to meditate in a quiet safe place, go to the beach, take a walk and enjoy nature.by terrip on 28th September 2015412Vote!
At the end of the day, almost everyday, I relax in a tub full of bubbles with an aromatherapy candle and listen to Delilah! It so nice to hear I am not alone with all of my problems. This is the only thing that has gotten me through some very rough times after losing my job. I can clear my mind or straighten out my thoughts and just "be". I just found a new company recently that makes awesome aromatherapy candles www.theearthselements.com and I truely have to say that they are the best chaning my mood!by Always Sleepy on 11th November 2010663Vote!
To juggle work and family the Main thing I have is my organizer......and a Mini van..:-) ...Still its not fool proof but working on it for sure!!!!

Pretty much the only "me time" I get is my lunch 1/2 hour at work. Take that lunch break! You deserve it (and hey, it's legally mandated!) I turn off my "oh, I have SO much work to do" state of mind and grab my book and sit at starbucks or in the parking lot in my car and read/eat. It's really the only time I get to myself until around 10 pm (and that's if the baby goes to bed on time!)by MamaSara on 7th May 2011720Vote!
Plastic drink cups! I bought a package of them for less than $1, and handed each of my two youngest kids15 cups. They happily stacked them into pyramids, collapsed them into piles, "decorated" them with action figures, and had tons of fun (while I was able to get dinner on the table with no fuss). It's a cheap investment, and perfect for long waits at the doctor's office or restaurants.by Lylah M. Alphonse on 23rd June 2011719Vote!

Hi, ladies. I just went to the restroom and wiped to find a very small dab of what looked like white mucous. I've had a yeast infection for the past week (just got over it), but it doesn't look cottage-cheesey, it looked... slimey/mucousy, but wasn't thick like snot.
I've been having BH all day, and been feeling what I *think* are round ligament pains (because they are only on the right side). It feels kind of like mittelscmertz. The BH are nothing new to me b/c I have Irritable Uterus.
So, my question is, should I call the docs? I only saw a very small amount of what I think is mucous... seriously, like an eraser head, if that.
When I actually *do* go into labor, I wonder if I'll know it. My uterus contracts ALL the time, and has since 20 weeks. This may be why I'm not super concerned right now... I tend to take my contractions lightly, even if they are regular.
I just don't know what to do right now.


text: As an avid supporter of the president I am shocked to find he wants unsafe airports, dirty water and for the poor to freeze to death. I read that President (Barack) Obama says his 2012 budget can reduce projected deficits by $1.1 trillion over the next decade. But two-thirds of the reductions are from cuts in spending in many domestic programs he supported. Among the reductions are more than $1 billion from airport grants and nearly $1 billion from grants to states for water treatment. Public health and forestry programs would also be cut, plus home energy assistance to low-income families and community service block grants would be halved. I urge the president to seek medical assistance. My diagnosis is he is suffering "mood-congruent delusion." This is any delusion with content consistent with either a depressive or manic state, e.g., a depressed person believes that news anchors disapprove of him or a person in a manic state might believe he is a powerful deity.

Dedicated service: Wiesbaden employee reaches five decade mark
March 13, 2009
By Karl Weisel (USAG Wiesbaden)
WIESBADEN, Germany - Half a century.
That's how long Francis Townsend has served his country - as an Airman, Soldier and a Defense Department civilian.
"Seems like I just came into the military," said Townsend, a member of the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden's Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff. The Rheinblick Golf Course groundskeeper said, "I've learned a lot and I would do it all over again. The military has been such a part of my life."
"This is the first time in U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden history that an employee has been recognized for 50 years of service," said Col. Ray Graham, garrison commander, while honoring the longtime employee at a Length of Service Ceremony in the Community Activity Center Feb. 26. Graham presented Townsend with a certificate signed by Maj. Gen. John MacDonald, deputy commander of the Installation Management Command.
"I started out with the Army and here I am with the Army again (50 years later)," said Townsend, describing his service in the Army, Air Force and as a civilian.
Townsend was joined during the ceremony by Joseph Cooper, Wiesbaden Auto Crafts supervisor, who was recognized for four decades of service.
"It really feels good to me," said Cooper following the ceremony. "That's all I know - taking care of Soldiers and their families."
Cooper, who retired from the military after 24 years of active duty service, said taking care of Soldiers and families during deployments was particularly rewarding.
Albert Haempel, a member of the Directorate of Public Works' Buildings and Grounds staff, was recognized for 35 years of service. Haempel said he first started working for the Wiesbaden military community in 1973 at the Installation Coordinators Office on Camp Pieri. "I didn't speak any English. I took classes in the evenings at the Volkshochschule and practiced my English at work during the day."
Among highlights of his career with the Wiesbaden military community, Haempel said, was being on hand to witness the safe return of the U.S. hostages to the Wiesbaden U.S. military hospital from Iran in January 1981.
All total some 1645 years of service representing more than 3.5 million hours of "hard work and selfless service" were recognized during the ceremony.
Besides the many individuals from around the garrison honored for their dedicated service - from five to 50 years - Gary Smith, from the USAG Wiesbaden Safety Office was awarded the Department of the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service for his "exceptional performance while serving as the Joint Task Force-East safety and occupational health specialist from May to October 2008."
Employees honored during the ceremony were invited to refreshments and granted the traditional 59 minutes off by the commander following the ceremony.

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post
Cissie Peltz, cartoonist and gallery owner has died
In 1958, a writer for The Milwaukee Journal asked what made Cissie Peltz, then a budding cartoonist, tick. The writer concluded it was Peltz's laughing blue eyes, sparkling conversation, humor and knack for selling.
In so many ways, this is how many will remember Peltz, who passed away Wednesday morning, according to her friend and gallery assistant Cheryl Olson-Sklar. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

'Road to Mecca' portrays story similar to that of Milwaukee-area resident
While Renaissance Theaterworks' new production, Athol Fugard's "The Road to Mecca," is set in distant South Africa, its situation will feel familiar to Milwaukee art lovers: An older woman, living alone, has transformed her home and yard into an art environment filled with unusual sculptures, provoking confusion and judgment from her neighbors.
Yes, the story of the late Helen Martins (1897-1976) of Nieu-Bethesda outwardly resembles that of the late Mary Nohl of Fox Point. Both were ostracized by their communities and called a witch, said Suzan Fete, director of the Renaissance production, which opens Saturday. »Read Full Article
Fever Marlene bringing expanded lineup to Oriental Theatre
Fever Marlene is one of the better-known bands in Milwaukee. It has played all around town and across North America for several years now.
But Fever Marlene as it is now is essentially an entirely new band. Originating as a duo, the self-proclaimed electro-rock group more than doubled its size as it worked on "Medicated Friends," its first studio album since 2007. »Read Full Article

Fleck, Corea dazzle Marcus Center audience
A banjo player who swerved from bluegrass to jazz and his pianist hero-turned-mentor-turned-partner delighted nearly 700 listeners Tuesday night in Uihlein Hall with 135 minutes of unique, often astounding, chamber jazz duets.
The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts was the last stop on a fortnight's tour, a rare get-together for two virtuosos, banjoist Béla Fleck, 54, and pianist Chick Corea, 71. An odd couple as jazz duos go, they merged styles seamlessly on a dozen of each others' tunes with rapport suggesting decades joined at the hip. Not so. »Read Full Article(1)

I was curious if you can pass a vb variable into back end javascript. I have a page that a user can upload a image and a link to that image. I am executing a reader to pull the link from the database and declare a variable as string = to the reader. when i try to pass it into the script with this code
Response.Write("window.open(<%= linkLeft %>,'_blank')")
it just comes back as my url/linkLeft instead of just the url of the link in the database. Is there any possible way to pass this variable into the script? I havent really came across anything to do this. i am using this because i want the link to open in a new window so response.redirect is out of the question i believe?
Thanks in advance

|ETCHANT PRODUCT ANALYSIS IN ALKALINE ETCHANT SOLUTIONS - Silicon ions in an alkaline etchant solution are analyzed by acidifying a sample of the etchant solution, adding fluoride ions in excess of the concentration required to react with all of the silicon ions, and using a fluoride ion specific electrode (FISE) to detect free fluoride ions in the resulting test solution. Good sensitivity and precision are provided by using a relatively acidic test solution and only a slight excess of fluoride ions, and limiting the analysis range to the maximum expected silicon concentration in the etchant solution.
|PALLADIUM COATING THICKNESS MEASUREMENT - The thickness of a palladium coating on copper (or another substrate) is measured by passing a cathodic current through a predetermined area of the coating in contact with an electrolytic solution and measuring the potential as a function of time. Protons from the electrolytic solution are electrochemically reduced to palladium hydride at cathodic potentials less negative than required for evolution of hydrogen. As formation of the PdH
|Boric acid replenishment in electroplating baths - Boric acid is replenished in an electroplating bath via a replenishment solution comprising boric acid dissolved in pure water, in which the solubility at room temperature is comparable to that in the plating bath at operating temperature.

Michael Bennet's appearance on Peter Boyles's radio show a last-minute campaign disaster
Down the campaign stretch, Republican Senate hopeful Ken Buck's been up to his neck in controversy, while incumbent Dem Michael Bennet has mostly avoided big mistakes -- until yesterday.
That's when Bennet appeared on Peter Boyles's KHOW talk show under the illusion that the Tom Tancredo-loving host would let him make a benign pitch for votes. Oh so wrong.
During some of the most awkward three minutes of radio you'll ever hear, Boyles peppered Bennet with questions about why he's repeatedly dodged invitations to appear on the show over his time in office before veering off into some of his favorite topics, including the failed U.S. Attorney nomination of Stephanie Villafuerte, Governor Bill Ritter's decision not to run for reelection, and embattled former ICE agent Cory Voorhis.
Bennet reacts to this barrage by hemming, hawing and then making an abrupt exit of the sort that will likely put a smile on the faces of Buck supporters. Check out the entire session below:

Grand Illusion by robreyWatch
©2012-2016 robrey
This is a private commission that I finished recently. The client requested a performance magic themed painting so I created this piece of a magician producing a dove, inspired by some of J. C. Leyendecker's arrow collar illustrations from the last century.
Oil, 16 x 20 inches
Oil, 16 x 20 inches
wonderful! i love the contrast in this one
This is stunning! Your lighting is incredible.
I love how you've created an extraordinary sense of light and movement with just a few extra brush strokes.
Just Remember that ... It;s a grand illusion, Deep Inside we're all the same!
Seriously, this is amazing
So cool!
please give that man a cookie.
This reminded me of the Prestige. Beautiful work.
So beautiful... !!!
Just wanted to let you know, your artwork has been featured in my journal The Art of Deception!
Keep up the great work!
I love that strong strokes. Great light.
I love this sort of thing and I love Leyendecker. Nice job my friend
The striking colors and fluidity of both the magician, dove and paint is stunning.
There's such a wonderful sense of movement on the dove's wings. Lovey.
Unique visual! GREAT JOB!!!
Beautiful work, I love those loose strokes.
Awesome, sir!
this is so beautiful * o *
Really cool looking! Nice work!
Great style, kudos
Very nice!
FABULOUS, that's all I can say.
Outstanding! I wondered why you chose to leave the smudge along the edge between the jacket and the shirt. Maybe these imprecise marks, as well as the brush strokes at the bottom, serve to keep a painterly feeling rather than a photorealism feeling.
I like that there is a lot of movement.
wowowooww Stunning work
I really love that dove!
Nice one!
Fantastic job! Really well done!
God damnit! AMAZIIIIIIIIIING
My god! Youre a painting genius!! I imagine you painting these works in a fever, jumping from place to place on the canvas, using 50% technique and 50% intuition. such lovely work!!!
that is Sooooooooooooo juicy. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. I love the way the painting looks so sharp, while each stroke looks rough. Not an easy thing to do
The strokes make this look amazing!
This is so eye catching! ^^
Really beautiful!

For some reason it reminds me a bit of an Unreal Tournament 2004 map.
The ferns coming through and the rotten timber makes you think this will be a much worse ruin in time, with only the bricks remaining. It's a very neat picture.

Great! I like it a lot.
The color of the lighting adds so much to this as well as the green plants popping up out of the debris. Very nice photo.
It looks like a roofed-over alley. Neat.
Great work! It's showing us how all will end one day ...
it reminds me ....of the last of us!
It looks so sad. What was this building? If you know.
This is beautiful! Wonderful!
Seems almost identical to a scene in the new dishonored DLC. Awesome
You are a talented artist. Amazing work!

this reminds me of a shot from Uncharted or The Last of Us video game
Awesome shot!

A reference to the Marilyn Manson's song ?
The talent that's out there blows me away!! This is incredible!
I wish I could explain how much do I like places like this one @u@ Great photo!
Amazing picture. Reminds me of Uncharted 3
Nice photo!
"Crash" went the second floor, once upon a time...
That's also a strange angle in the general architecture there at right.

Where is this?
Reminds me of The Last of Us ^^
I love the colours btw!
grrrr I can't wait for fallout four. this would make a great location
I'm getting the biggest Dishonored vibe, here. And, yes, Nightwish FTW.
Nature wins.
Anyway, that's beautiful.
Anyway, that's beautiful.


text: If there has ever been a time to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan, that time is now! When Qurans were accidently burned, riots broke out. Six American soldiers were killed by Afghan security forces – killed by the troops that we trained! Qurans, and Bibles for that matter, are books printed by men. It is the message of the book that is sacred, not the printed pages. The Afghans are a primitive culture and are not ready for democracy. When an American soldier killed 16 Afghan villagers all the news sources were confused as to the reason. It was revenge for the killing of the six American soldiers. Wow, really! This war has ground on for over 10 years and it is high time to get out. The only thing keeping us there now are the gigantic egos of the Pentagon and the slow, steady pressure of those making billions on the war. We can do what we need to do from far away, using intelligence gathered from far above. It is time to do more than apply a decal to the bumper of your car. Really support our troops by calling your senators and congressman today and insisting that our soldiers be brought home A.S.A.P. PAUL PIERCY, Colfax

Guthrie Theater "Dollhouse" opening night audience cheers mention of Target
"You spent how much at Target?": The happy couple in "Dollhouse"
Michal Daniel
hubby Terry (Peter Christian Hansen) needn't worry about how much dough she just spent . . . because she did the bulk of her shopping at Target.
Now I have no beef with the Target Corporation; if everything in my house purchased from its stores were to disappear, I would be wandering around half-naked, rasping in a parched voice for coffee, and searching in vain for everything from eating utensils to writing implements (well, that actually pretty muchdoes
describe the scene at home, but let's not get sidetracked).
