Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Diner reports finding crude oil in Gulf oyster
The Top 10 Forbidden Foods: From Dogmeat to Giant Salamander
Crude oil on the half shell?
A TV station in North Carolina is reporting that a young diner out to dinner with his family in Mooresville found a tar-like substance in his raw oyster. Though the oily pitch hasn't been confirmed as crude oil, the owner of Vinnie's Raw Bar, who gets his oysters from the Gulf region, agreed that it looked like oil. It could be an ominous sign for restaurateurs and the fishing industry in the South, but what does it mean for Twin Cities diners? It may be less of a concern here , since much of our seafood comes from the East and West coasts. One of the area's major suppliers, Coastal Seafoods, says it gets very little of its product from the Gulf.

We moved into a late 70's home 2 years ago and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to fix/cover up the brick fireplace in the living room. It is ugly tannish/brown and has been terribly neglected over the years by many renters. Mortar is cracked in places and obviously someone tried to fix other places because they are gray not white like the rest of the fireplace.
I'd like to partially cover the brick with drywall (on the top) and tile the other part (mid to bottom) around the gas insert we had installed. I also have an oak mantel shelf to put in between the two areas.
Is this something that can be done? If so would we need to level the surface first or can we just put up drywall over the entire brick surface and tile the areas we want after that?
I've asked at several home improvement stores and they look at me with blank stares and say "I guess you could do that". I'm desperate to get rid of the ugly looking brick - don't want to paint it - and have tried some brick stain that looked terrible. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Having a weakness to the most common attacks in the game (and no way to really compensate for said weaknesses), it seems that Aggron is doomed where it is.
If it were to get a mega-evolution, then I'd hope that it would sacrifice either it's Steel or Rock typing for something more practical (though I'd prefer it to keep it's Rock typing if its type does change, for the sake of the 50% spdef boosts in Sand).
Yeah I thought about it last night and a DD set is probably not the best choice, I rather it focused in boosting attack and with Solid Rock try walling effectively. Aggron is a tricky pokemon to improve with its stat spread and typings :/

Corbett: Pa. won't set up own health care exchange
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett says Pennsylvania won't set up its own health care exchange under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Corbett announced the decision Wednesday, saying the planning had been haphazard and setting up an exchange would be irresponsible.
He says federal authorities haven't adequately responded to questions about cost and other issues.
Many Democratic lawmakers, insurers and hospitals wanted Corbett to set up a state-run system.
The new insurance exchanges will allow households and small businesses to buy a private health plan, and many will get help from the government to pay their premiums. Under the law, states that can't or won't set up exchanges will have theirs run by the federal government.
States considering a partnership have until mid-February to make a decision.

Nick has admitted to Victor that he is concerned about how he will be portrayed on the show.
After returning from the Diary Room he found Victor to be the only housemates still awake, and revealed that Big Brother had been quizzing him on the close friendship the two have developed.
"They just wanted to ask who I got on with in the house, so I said Victor because we're like-minded," Nick explained. "It's just the meeting of minds."
Victor agreed and said that the two housemates' close friendship had caused others to believe he was on a secret task.
Conversation then turned to how they would both be edited on the Big Brother highlights show. Nick explained that during the first series his fellow housemates had found him funny but that none of that had been shown to the viewers.
"I think they're waiting for you to slip up," Victor admitted. "The first few days you were chilled out but now you've started to build some steam."
Victor re-assured Nick that from what he had seen during his time in the Big Brother Bedsit, Nick had not done anything that could be edited to portray himself in a negative light.
The two then discussed their chances of staying in the house, with Nick claiming that, although he could never win the show, he would love to come in sixth place at least.

Close watch: A Sri Lankan Special Task Force soldier standing guard after a fire at a Muslim-owned clothing store in Panadura. - AFP
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's media showed rare unity in condemning police for their failure to control anti-Muslim Buddhist extremists as religious tensions grow in the wake of riots in the island's south.
A day after a Muslim-owned shop was burnt down outside the capital Colombo, the privately-run The Nation weekly took the unusual step of publishing its editorial as the main story on its front page, with the blunt headline: "The IGP (Inspector-General of Police) must resign".
Other media joined in blasting police for failing to rein in a hardline Buddhist group known as the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS or the Buddhist Force), blamed for much of the unrest.
They pointed the finger at the extremist monks for the anti-Muslim riots that erupted a week ago, leaving four people dead, 80 wounded and hundreds of homes and shops destroyed.
"Arrest him," the Sunday Leader newspaper demanded in a headline, referring to the head of the BBS, Galagodaatte Gnanasara, who has publicly denied causing trouble.
Sri Lanka's Sunday Times said the burning down of a Muslim-owned clothing store outside Colombo on Saturday "is an indication that some people might want this violence to spread".
Sri Lankan police were investigating the cause of the blaze, which Justice Minister Rauf Hakeem, the most senior Muslim in President Mahinda Rajapakse's Cabinet, described on Saturday as an arson attack.
The Sunday Times said a majority of Buddhists in the country did not support the extremist views of the few monks who were behind the hate campaign, and that they should be dealt with before the unrest escalates further.
Some media reports also suggested that patronage by senior government figures may have held police back from acting against the BBS.
Justice Minister Hakeem has asked the government to order an independent probe into the riots since last week.
Hakeem, in a statement issued on Saturday night, blamed the government for failing to control the BBS.
"Irrespective of who is responsible for the terrible events that unfolded... none would dispute that it was a serious dislocation of the ability of the state to maintain the rule of law," Hakeem said after an emergency meeting with Rajapakse.
The president has said he is ordering a probe into "recent disturbances".
Muslims account for about 10% of Sri Lanka's 20 million population, who are mainly Buddhist. — AFP

Yes, they will loan on that amount as long as it is a fee simple (you own the and) and not a leasehold (you rent the land) property. You definitely want to visit these homes first to see what you're buying. Are you familiar with the area and climate (rainfall is high in this area)? Do you prefer a certain neighborhood over another?

Jun 23, 2014 0 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter + View as Slideshow 1 The Dassault Mirage IIIV was a French vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) prototype fighter aircraft of the mid-1960s. The Mirage IIIV model followed the Dassault Mirage III and featured eight small vertical lift jets straddling the main engine. The design was in response to a NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter. One of the two aircraft built was destroyed in an accident and the project was abandoned; the surviving aircraft is on public display. The Dassault Mirage IV was a French jet-propelled supersonic strategic bomber and deep-reconnaissance aircraft. Developed by Dassault Aviation, the aircraft entered service with the French Air Force in October 1964. For many years it was a vital part of the nuclear triad of the Force de Frappe, France's nuclear deterrent striking force. The Mirage IV was retired from the nuclear strike role in 1996, and the type was entirely retired from operational service in 2005. 234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041 Category: Aircraft, France, High-Res Share on Facebook Share on Twitter +

This blog is about my security work at Microsoft, not my past work in Linux. However, in a recent blog "AppArmor is Dead", Russ Coker basically called me out by citing both this blog and AppArmor in the same post, so I am going to briefly go off topic and talk about Linux.
Russ says that AppArmor is dead, because of the massive layoff from Novell of AppArmor workers in 2007, and SUSE's recent decision to add SELinux as an option. He's right that neither of these events is good for ApArmor, but I think he may be overstating things a little. AppArmor was added as the default security option in Ubuntu and Mandriva Linux, because of user demand for usable security.
In contrast, I suspect that SELinux was added to SUSE Linux because Novell would like to sell more SUSE into US Federal Government accounts, where some of them have mandated SELinux as a requirement. This is actually reasonable, since SELinux is designed for Federal security requirements, and it shows in the usability J
I am no longer involved in the AppArmor project, as I work for Microsoft now, and providing Windows with more usable security is where I put my creative energy. So maybe AppArmor is dying, maybe it isn't. If AppArmor does die, then in some sense it just makes my job here of enhancing the Windows security value proposition vs. Linux that much easier.
So go ahead, make my day: ignore the popularity of AppArmor in the user community, keep blocking AppArmor from inclusion in Linus' kernel. If all I have to do is make Windows security easier and more effective to deploy than SELinux, then my job is practically done for me J

Rodriguez takes on Beck
Unbeaten El Paso heavyweight David "El Nino" Rodriguez will take the biggest test of his career on June 24 when he steps up to former title challenger Owen "What the Heck?" Beck at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso on a card promoted by Z Entertainment and Nino Bravo Promotions. Rodriguez, 34-0, 32 KOs, will get a shot at top ten contention and the WBC Fecombox heavyweight title against Beck, 29-7, 20 KOs, of Jamaica, by way of Nashville, Tenn. Beck challenged Nikolay Valuev in 2006 for the WBA heavyweight title, only to lose by third round TKO. After winning four straight bouts, Beck fell into a losing streak, having dropped his last four by KO/TKO. – Chris Cozzone
Tapia-Archuleta III in jeopardy
The June 4 rubber match at Hard Rock of Albuquerque between Johnny Tapia and Frankie Archuleta is on the brink of cancellation. According to a confidential source at Isleta, Archuleta has refused to take an MRI ordered by the Isleta Athletic Commission. Tapia has already passed all of his exams and has been cleared to fight – but Archuleta originally did not want to spend the money for tests in case the fight fell through. After Team Tapia offered to pay for the tests and deduct it from his purse (approximately $2,000 worth of tests), Archuleta agreed and was scheduled for an exam and a referral for an MRI tomorrow. Unfortunately, Archuleta did not show up at the exam, nor did he get the referral, which means tomorrow's MRI is an impossibility. According to our source, it was further mentioned that Archuleta has yet to return a signed contract for the fight and a replacement has now been found for what will now be billed as Tapia's final bout. Stay tuned. – Chris Cozzone

IBF 130lb title vacated
The IBF Jr. Lightweight title has been vacated. Mzonke Fana, who was scheduled to defend his title against Argenis Mendez on June 11, 2011, to date has not submitted a signed contract to the IBF. Fana has failed to fulfill his contractual obligation to defend his title, which should have taken place by March 11, 2011. Fana's failure to not comply has resulted in the IBF Jr. Lightweight title becoming vacant. Argenis Mendez will still have the opportunity to fight for the title.
Kuziemski in, Bellew out
Newly elevated WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly will now make his first defense against Aleksy Kuziemski from Poland this Saturday at the 02 Arena in London. Tony Bellew, who had stepped in this morning to replace Juergen Braehmer, has been beaten by the scales to make the pre-fight weight check today. Whilst Bellew was really up for fight, the boxer and his manager Frank Warren, felt it was too big a ask and that the boxer's safety has to be paramount.
The unbeaten Welshman, declared World Champion by the WBO today after Braehmer was stripped, now tackles the #11 ranked Kuziemski who was considered as a challenger to Cleverly before Bellew put himself forward for the fight. From Swiece in Poland, but now based out of Hamburg, Germany, Kuziemski has a good record of 21 wins from 23 fights and is the former WBO Intercontinental/German/EBA Light-Heavyweight Champion.

Wednesday night was all about Victor Ortiz in Ventura, the hometown for the fighter who captured a world title belt last month. In the process, he became the first world title holder to come from the coastal city located next to Oxnard. Ortiz was presented with a key to the city at a celebratory dinner at the Watermark Restaurant and Lounge in downtown Ventura. Mayor Bill Fulton was on hand to present Ortiz with a key and a proclamation from the city for putting the city of Ventura on the boxing map.
"We're privileged to have you here in Ventura," said Fulton, who was appointed mayor in December of 2009. "There are few people who think that the other city (Oxnard) is the boxing capital of Ventura County. But, Victor has demonstrated that Ventura is the boxing capital of Ventura County. (more…)
Argenis Mendez Update

Coming off an impressive win against Cassius Baloyi, IBF junior lightweight title challenger Argenis Mendez is currently in the UK training for his on-off title shot against Mzonke Fana. Pictured with trainer Lee Beard (right) and gym owner Bobby Rimmer (left), Mendez has been in the UK for the last two weeks working hard at the Manchester based gym. Mzonke Fana recently pulled out of the fight citing a lack of trainer and training camp as the reason. Should the fight not go ahead, it is possible that the IBF may strip Fana of his title and give Argenis the chance to fight for the vacant title, whatever the outcome, his camp says Mendez will be ready.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Vanes Martirosyan blasted hard punches while sparring six hard rounds at the Chavez Jr Media Day on Wednesday. Chief trainer Freddie Roach announced to media "it's time to spar." Chavez Jr and Martirosyan fired off big punches. Chavez Jr worked on body shots.

Roach, who trains both fighters at the Wild Card, said he wanted to make a point. "Junior is in top condition and ready to fight for the world title," he said. "The same goes for Vanes. This is the best he's looked in a long time."
On June 4, Chavez Jr will challenge WBC Middleweight Champion Sebastian Zbik at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. On the undercard, Martirosyan will take on Saul Roman in an eliminator bout. Zbik vs. Chavez Jr will be televised on HBO After Dark.

By Rey Colón -The Sport Press
Former WBO welterweight champion Carlos 'El Indio' Quintana could return in August or September against either Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo or James Kirkland said his trainer Jose Bonilla. "I talked to Lou DiBella and am negotiating a fight for August or September and those two were mentioned. They are strong but Quintana is at a stage that we must seek fights where there is good money. Quintana is also strong at 154. Carlos Quintana is looking for big fights for good money, not small change and to get a good win."

Julio-Adjaho Presser
A press conference was held for Friday's clash between Joel Julio and late sub Anges Adjaho at the Prudential Center's AmeriHealth Pavilion in Newark, NJ, which will be broadcast on ESPN2.
Promoter Kathy Duva: "For the main event we had a great match made originally with Antwone Smith, and unfortunately Antwone was injured. Jolene (Mizzone) and Russell (Peltz) had to go out and find an opponent for Joel. After going through literally 10 people, people who wouldn't take the fight, or people ESPN wouldn't accept, they worked very hard and came up with Anges Adjaho. He's a very tough fighter and ready for the challenge."
Anges Adjaho: "I am thankful for the opportunity. Sometimes it's hard to say exactly what I mean, but I know I am ready for this fight. People will be surprised."
Joel Julio: "I am in very good shape. I feel very good. I have worked hard with my trainers. It does not matter that he (Smith) could not fight me, I am ready to fight anybody. I don't want to talk too much – my hands talk for me! See you Friday night!"

Diaconu finally gets Dawson
By Dave Spencer / Fightnews Canada
In a match-up between two former WBC world champions, Adrian Diaconu (27-2 15KO) knows that he has everything to gain as he meets up against Chad Dawson (29-1 17KO) Saturday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal. "We're not starring on the show that night," said Diaconu's trainer Pierre Bouchard of the HBO telecast that features the rematch between Jean Pascal and Bernard Hopkins, "But we're certainly in a position to steal the show.

Collins-Williams collide tonight
By Peter Lim
A lineup of up-and-coming local fighters do battle at the latest Savarese Boxing Promotions fight night at the Houston Club on May 19 . The main event will be a six-round heavyweight bout between Steve Collins, 24-1 (17 KOs) and Rubin Williams, 29-14-1 (16 KOs). Although it might not appear that much of a mismatch on the surface, dig a little deeper and note that Williams was at his best as a 168-pound fringe contender from 2003 to 2007. He is on a 12-fight losing streak, six via stoppage, that began in January of 2008. And although the names on Williams' record read like a who's who roster of super middleweights that includes the likes of Andre Ward, Jeff Lacy, Allen Green, Chris Henry and Alfonso Lopez, he lost to all of them.

Vazquez-Katsidis in Australia?
Two time world champion Michael Katsidis is one step closer to his dream of bringing a world title fight down under with his Manager/Trainer Brendon Smith today confirming that they have issued a challenge to Mexican world champion Miguel Vazquez. "The call was made last night to Vazquez's people to let them know our intentions with the fight. Both camps know how good a fight this is," Smith said."
Vazquez is no stranger to big name fights as he won a split decision over Breidis Prescott (the only man to beat world champion Amir Khan) and more recently took the scalp of Australia's own Lenny Zappavigna, but none of this worries Katsidis. "Kevin Mitchell also beat Breidis Prescott, and I KO'd him in three rounds," Katsidis said. "This will be a huge fight for the Australian people, I would love nothing more than to bring a world class fighter like Vazquez to Australia. It will be great to repay the favour for beating my Aussie mate." (more…)
Braehmer stripped of WBO belt
Tony Bellew has stepped in to face big rival Nathan Cleverly this Saturday at The O2 in London. Bellew, 28, will challenge for Cleverly's WBO light heavyweight title after Braehmer was stripped of the title and the Welshman installed as champion. Following yesterday's events when Braehmer pulled out of his fight against Cleverly by failing to arrive in London and then later claiming a cut eye, promoter Frank Warren has been searching for an opponent for Cleverly. Bellew, the current Commonwealth Champion, registered his interest straight away by posting on social-networking sites that he wanted the fight against Cleverly. (more…)

This will be the third fight for Chavez Jr. under famed trainer Freddie Roach. The two hooked up last year in June before Chavez' twelve round unanimous decision over John Duddy at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, followed by a ten round unanimous decision over Billy Lyell in Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico this past January.
"Against Duddy he was not a complete fighter, for the last fight we had against Lyell we only had three weeks to prepare and this time we have more time to prepare, he is much better now in terms of technique," Roach told Fightnews.com on working with Chavez Jr. in preparation for his upcoming title bout.

Pascal-Hopkins: Few Words
By Dave Spencer/Fightnews Canada
They both threw the same punch, but it was Bernard Hopkins who got off first at today's final press conference in advance of Saturday's rematch between The Executioner and WBC Champion Jean Pascal set for the Bell Centre in Montreal.
For all the talk leading into the fight, each combatant uttered just three words each after taking the microphone, "Enjoy the Fight." The usually talkative Hopkins took to the stage first and after uttering death threats in previous outings, kept it short and sweet with the, "Enjoy the fight," greeting.
Pascal who had demanded drug testing of Hopkins in their initial press conference to announce the fight was also a man of few words matched the 46 year-old fighter word for word when called upon to speak.
When fielding questions from the media, Hopkins when asked about his legacy, again stuck to the same three-word combination, "Enjoy the fight," at which point both fighters beat a hasty retreat to the exits.

New Orleans Celebrates Saints Win As New Beginning
Down in New Orleans, it's a holiday of sorts after the Saints' victory in the Super Bowl on Sunday night. New Orleans beat Indianapolis 31-17, setting off a celebration in the streets. Some residents see the win as a sign of the city's rebirth.
A Magical Season For A Recovering City
At Ditcharo's, a pub just a few blocks from the Superdome, the champagne corks were flying when it became clear that the Saint's 43-year wait for a championship was over. Patrons of the bar shouted the Saints chant "Who dat baby?" in unison as they celebrated.
The bar's owner, Greg Faye, says this football season has been magical.
"New Orleans needed it," says Faye. "We have suffered so much since Katrina, and most people don't realize how down this city still is. We've lost so much business and so many residents, but we're still here, and we're still fighting to stay here."
But during the weekend, the city was thriving. Fans decked out in their black and gold paraded through the French Quarter.
They lined up to have their faces painted with the fleur-de-lis. And they gathered Sunday night for a prayer vigil at St. Louis Cathedral, waving signs that read "Bless You Boys."
The headline in Monday's Times-Picayune read "Amen!"
'A Dream Come True'
Sunday night, firefighter Mike Shields and his colleagues were on duty in the Warehouse District, but got to watch most of the game.
"It's a dream come true," says Shields. "Words can't describe the way we feel right now."
He believes that between the Saints and Saturday's mayoral election, it's a new beginning.
"We got something good here," says Shields. "We got the Super Bowl. We got a new mayor. We got a new outlook for the future."
Game Symbolizes Unity
Moments after the game ended, people hurried toward the French Quarter for the kind of celebration the city has perfected.
Darrell Turner, who lives in the Lower 9th Ward, stood on Poydras Street, and waved a black and gold umbrella at passing traffic. He says the underdog Saints are proof that this city can turn itself around, and is particularly inspired by the possibility of unity among people from different backgrounds.
"When everybody come together, you can make something happen," says Turner. "That's what we need in this city — to make something happen!"
New Orleans is here to stay, he says.

AFF Review: Searching for Sonny
I was discussing Austin Film Festival with a friend yesterday and surprised to learn he had never heard of BriTANick, the wildly hilarious duo Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher. The two have been writing, acting and producing comedic short films online for several years and last year brought Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses (which you can and should watch online) to SXSW. They have begun to appear in TV and feature film roles, including the upcoming Joss Whedon surprise Much Ado About Nothing. They came to AFF this year with the outstanding Searching For Sonny, written and directed by Ft. Worth native Andrew Disney.
Jason Dohring stars as Elliot Knight, an unsuccessful 28-year-old pizza delivery driver. Depressed by his lack of accomplishments, Elliot's neuroses include envy of Jesus Christ for being wildly successful before the age of 30.
Jason receives a surprise invitation to his 10-year class reunion from his estranged best friend, Sonny (Masi Oka). As soon as he arrives at the reunion, he meets up with twin brother Calvin (Nick Kocher) and classmate Gary (Brian McElhaney). Together, the three of them set out to find Sonny, following clues left on their postcard invitations, and uncover a larger scheme involving their former high-school principal.
In their online videos, Kocher and McElhaney's double act usually requires them to trade the straight man role back and forth. Dohring's deadpan lead allows them both to ham it up here, making Searching for Sonny wildly hilarious.
Narrated by Clarke Peters, Searching for Sonny combines the non sequitur style of a BriTANick comedy with a film noir. The combination results in something akin to Bryan Fuller's work in Pushing Daisies, only less romantic and cute. Kinky and subversive, dark and outrageous, Searching for Sonny is the funniest movie I've seen all year. I'm eager to see more work from Andrew Disney.
Review: Anonymous
"To be or not to be?" might be regarded as one of the greatest questions ever asked. But the topic raised on whether or not William Shakespeare actually wrote the words credited to him might be a better question, according to the film Anonymous. Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) takes a break from showcasing all of the ways our world could come to an end by directing a movie that offers up a theory that could very well shatter the world of many an aspiring writer and/or playwright. Anonymous is a very well acted film, and if you're a fan of Shakespeare, it does put the viewer in the shoes of those who first witnessed plays written by ... well, I suppose whomever they might have been written by.
Anonymous opens in the present day, on a Broadway show where a lone man stands onstage and ponders the question of whether Shakespeare wrote the words attributed to him. He offers evidence such as the lack of actual historical manuscripts as proof that the question is a legitimate one.
We're then transported to the time in which we know Shakespeare lives. This is a time in which a play that might offer up a sarcastic word about the royalty of the country or others who may be in charge could be considered seditious, and the playwrights would be arrested on sight. On one occasion, the Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans) witnesses a rather impressive play and he bails out the writer but offers a condition -- he will allow this writer to put his name on his manuscripts so someone will get to witness them. As it turns out, the plays are amazing, and jumping on an opportunity, an illiterate actor named William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall) steps in to accept credit from an adoring crowd.
Review: Puss in Boots
Puss in Boots comes to us during a fall film season with a paucity of releases for children. It's a clever if not brilliant work from Dreamworks Animation and a spinoff/prequel to the title character's entry in the Shrek series. Fortunately, there is no mention of Shrek, and the movie works very well alone without the need for prior knowledge of that world.
Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek frequently work together, and this is their fifth collaboration (after Desperado, Frida, Spy Kids 3-D and Once Upon a Time in Mexico). They are joined by Billy Bob Thornton (Jack), Amy Sedaris (Jill), and Zach Galifianakis (Humpty Dumpty). Galifianakis is either brilliantly cast or terribly wasted. Personally, his characters always seem to grate on my nerves, but he delivers some of the best one-liners in Puss in Boots. As a family film, though, it's a very light, vanilla creme flavor of humor compared to The Hangover series.
Part origin story, part adventure-heist, Puss in Boots earns points for encompassing an actual story rather than simply throwing pop culture references at the audience, the modus operandus of Shrek. Sadly, a predictable plot is so transparent it doesn't need the incessant telegraphing of every potential surprise move. This is likely more a problem for those who have already seen Puss in the Shrek films. His aresenal is exhausted, and he has no new tricks. You know at some point he'll pull out the big kitty sad eyes, but it's been done before.
As with Shrek, Puss's best moments are when he has a strong character to play against, and those moments here are with Hayek's Kitty Softpaws. Had Puss in Boots been more about a cat-and-mouse game between them and less about Humpty Dumpty, it would have been more interesting.
Besides the Banderas-Hayek chemistry, the brightest spot in the movie was an engaging soundtrack performed by Mexican/gypsy/folk duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. Unfortunately, the soundtrack does not yet appear to be available on iTunes or Amazon.
Movies This Week: Anonymous Call in Shelter Boots
It's a strong week for free films in Austin. The Sunset Supper Cinema at the Whole Foods flagship on Lamar is showing The Hunger (with a special Halloween treat). Most of the programming for this series has been decidedly family oriented; The Hunger is not. The Austin Pets Alive Fall Petsival on Sunday includes a special (and free) Rolling Roadshow screening of Cats & Dogs. Puppies and kittens of all shapes and sizes will be on hand for adoption.
The APL/KLRU Community Cinema series at the APL Windsor Park Branch is still going strong. This series pairs socially relevant docs and community groups for post-screening discussions. On Tuesday they're showing We Still Live Here (Âs Nutayuneân), directed by Anne Makepeace. It's one of the free APL screening programs.
Lastly, Cine Las Americas is showing Pedro Páramo at the MACC on Wednesday as part of its Literature in Mexican Cinema series.
Movies We've Seen:
Margin Call -- Another start to awards season, another take on the financial crisis. This time it focuses on the key people in a 24-hour period at the start of the crisis. Rod saw it and says, "Greed, vanity, pride, gluttony and vanity. To some these are known as deadly sins. To Wall Street of 2008, these were business as usual. Margin Call demonstrates what happens when payment for these sins comes due." Read his review for more. (Violet Crown)
Take Shelter (pictured above) -- Austinite Jeff Nichols's tale of a man haunted by visions of apolocalyptic storms is destined to top many "best" lists, but don't see it for the hype. See it for the incredible performances, direction, cinematography, sound design, editing ... Need I go on? See it now, before you know more about it. Seriously. Read my review for more. Austin Film Society members take note: If you see the movie at Violet Crown, $2 of your ticket cost goes to the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund. (Alamo Lamar, Arbor, Violet Crown)
Review: Margin Call
In the first decade of this century, rocket scientists who ruled the back rooms of Wall Street discovered something they touted as a real Philosopher's Stone. Through financial alchemy, they created Frankenstein's monster. This monster was named Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO). CDO's were created using something known as The Formula. The Formula theorized that packages of mortgages could be mashed together and sliced apart into "good" parts and "bad" parts. The problem is that The Formula relied on a base set of assumptions that history shows were faulty to the core.
It is not possible to turn lead into gold and a sow's ear will always be a sow's ear no matter how much you want it to be a silk purse. Margin Call illustrates what happens when a financial institution realizes that the bag of gold they hold is in reality a bag of lead.
Margin Call opens with a scene that could have been straight taken from Up in the Air. Employees are called into managers' offices where HR awaits with bad news that has been all too common these days. One of the employees being "let go" at this financial institution is Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), a manager in the risk management department. As Dale is leaving, he hands Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) a USB drive with some of his latest work. He implores Peter to continue this work instructing him to be careful with it. Peter Sullivan burns the midnight oil completing Dale's work.
It's at this point we know the company is in deep Bandini (extra credit if you know what that means). Sullivan immediately raises the red flag and calls in his manager Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey), who brings in the upper management of the company, one by one, to deal with this crisis.
AFF Review: Austin High
Sometimes it can be a gift and a curse being a movie geek living in this great town of Austin, Texas. We do things our own way, we're weird, and we embrace that fact with open arms while the red counties look in cautiously at our liberal nature. We make films here. Sometimes they're awesome and sometimes they're not. Usually though, they fall in between. Austin High is one of those in-between films, and it's the type of movie most people in Austin will love, but others who don't "get it" won't really grasp and will therefore shun the film.
Austin High is a film that could be great. It's got funny moments, a good story, effortlessly good performances ... but as a film overall, it might be a little too Austin.
Samuel Wilson (Michael S. Wilson) is the principal of the high school he attended while growing up in here in Austin, Lady Bird High. Although he's grown up to become an adult who helps mold the minds of the future's youths, he still likes to get high with his buddies. Yeah, they're the same buddies he got high with in high school and they still meet up in the same spot to toke up in the morning.
Review: Take Shelter
What's the bigger nightmare: Extreme violence, or an ambiguous but growing sense of threat to all your hold dear? Austin's Jeff Nichols proves it's the latter in Take Shelter, as a family man becomes increasingly obsessed with visions of storms, putting all he holds dear at risk as he tries to keep them safe.
Curtis (Michael Shannon) is an upstanding guy with a devoted wife Samantha, an adorable daughter Hannah, a responsible job and a comfortable home. Life isn't perfect, but they all happily weather the storms of life until Curtis's nightmares start interfering with waking life. The more Curtis tries to protect his family and regain a sense of security, the faster it erodes.
There is nothing to substantiate Curtis' fears, which is both the foundation and the power of Nichols's script. Nichols (Shotgun Stories) deliberately doesn't distinguish reality and nightmare; there is no discernible change in film stock and nothing to indicate which is which. As the film progresses, it's harder for the audience to distinguish between the two, increasing the tension despite the movie's slow and steady pace. But instead of being distracting, it makes it easier for the audience to relate to Curtis' plight. Even the CGI is minimal, and only enough to enhance the story. The overall effect is nearly exhausting as the audience gets caught up in Curtis' plight.

When a company splits its shares, it is simply cutting itself up into a different number of pieces, without changing its fundamental value. It simply wants its stock to trade in a price-per-share range that seems reasonable to investors. This can affect stock market trading in more ways than one.
If a stock's price rises much beyond $50 a share in Canada (or $100 a share in the U.S.), some investors may shun it, since it seems expensive. The company's management may then declare a stock split of, say, two-for-one. This turns one "old" share into two "new" shares. If you owned 100 shares of a $60 stock, you now own 200 shares of a $30 stock. You don't need to take any action.
After a conventional stock split, good news often follows. Companies mainly split their shares when they want to draw attention to themselves — because they expect earnings to rise faster than normal, say. At such times, they may also raise their dividends.
However, sometimes companies get overly optimistic. Their profits come in far below expectations, and they can't keep paying the new, higher dividend. So a stock split can be good or bad for your stock market trading, depending on the details.
Metro Inc. (symbol POT on Toronto), one of the companies we analyze in our Successful Investor newsletter, recently split its shares on a 3-for-1 basis after announcing sharply higher revenue and earnings for 2010.
Prior to the split, Potash was trading at around $102 a share. It now trades at $36.50 a share.
The company also raised its quarterly dividend by 16.7%, to $0.117 U.S. (post-split) from $0.10 U.S. The new annual rate of $0.47 U.S. (post-split) yields 1.2%.
Don't miss your chance to download Pat McKeough's free report, "Dividend Paying Stocks: How High Dividend Stocks Can Supercharge Your Portfolio." In this report, Pat shows you how you can use his simple strategy to find the very best high dividend stocks These are the companies that give you the best of both worlds: steady income and strong potential for gains.
If the value of a stock collapses to pennies a share, investors may think it is headed for zero. To bring its share price back up to more respectable levels, the company may declare a reverse split: five, 10 or more "old" shares will then turn into one "new" share. This "reverse split" is also called a "share consolidation." It's what usually happens to penny mining companies that have spent all their money without finding any valuable mineral deposits.
After a reverse split, stock prices often fall back down again. Some investors sell because the stock seems more expensive than it was, even though a given holding represents the same percentage ownership of the company. Others sell because they fear the company will raise money by selling new shares, and this will drive down its stock price.
Our investing advice: Stock splits and consolidations are a minor stock market trading detail. Don't let them distract you from more important matters, such as a company's fundamental value and how well it suits your investment objectives.

Red vs. Dead
Dead Snow II: Red vs. Dead, the sequel to the 2009 horror film Dead Snow which was the first Norwegian movie of its genre to be selected to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival will release in theaters on October 10, 2014.
They're not just zombies—they're Nazi zombies. And there's a lot of them. On the order of a rotten Führer, the zombies from Dead Snow return to settle old German scores. In the continuation of the epic splatter fest from 2009, Martin, the sole survivor of the first movie, proves that there's more bad ass shit in Northern Norway than even Nazi zombies would be prepared for. The table is set up for a massive revenge epic where blood, guts, brains and throats are not the only things dredged up from the darkness. Old hatred never rots.

Apple (AAPL) has done a poor job of managing its $137 billion cash hoard and its stock price has suffered as a result, hedge fund manager David Einhorn charged Thursday.
In a conference call with investors and media, Einhorn, founder and president of Greenlight Capital, an Apple shareholder, detailed his proposal for Apple to unlock shareholder value by issuing preferred stock he called "iPrefs," in a nod to Apple product names.
The preferred shares would be issued to existing shareholders and would be attractive to investors seeking safe income, Einhorn says. They would pay perpetual dividends and provide a yield better than government and high-quality corporate bonds, he says.
Perpetual preferred stock is a superior alternative for unlocking Apple shareholder value than usual dividend increases and stock buybacks, he says. And it wouldn't impinge on Apple's business plan.
Einhorn is waging a public campaign to block the passage of a proposal in Apple's proxy, which would eliminate preferred stock from Apple's charter. Apple's annual shareholders meeting is Wednesday. He's also sued Apple in federal court to block a shareholder vote on the proposal, which he says does not conform to SEC rules.
Apple may be innovative with its products, but not in managing its cash and securities, Einhorn says. That cash "exceeds the market capitalization of all but 17 companies in the S&P 500," he said.
Apple has let its cash swell because of public tech company myths, he says. "Conventional thinking has led Apple and other large tech companies in having such bloated balance sheets," Einhorn said. "They've accumulated enormous amounts of cash that sit idle on their balance sheet for years on end." He equated the idle, excess cash to an inventory problem.
Tech companies believe they need large rainy day funds to get them through tough times. Executives also think there's no reward for distributing cash, which he called part of "Silicon Valley lore."
And some companies equate their self-importance with the size of their bank accounts, he added.
Plus, tech companies are waiting for the next federal tax holiday, like one in 2004, before bringing foreign money back to the U.S. Of Apple's $137 billion in cash and securities, $94 billion, or 69%, is kept overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
IBM, TI Shareholder-Friendly
Not all tech companies hoard their cash. Einhorn identified IBM (IBM) and Texas Instruments (TXN) as shareholder-friendly firms that return most of their free cash flow to shareholders via dividends and stock buybacks. He says they've been rewarded with price-earnings multiples, net of cash, that are higher than most of their peers with excessive cash balances.
"Finance theory suggests that an unlevered or net-cash balance sheet should be rewarded with higher P-E multiples," he said. "But in practice, the market assigns a discount for this level of overly conservative long-term capital management."
He pointed to Dell (DELL) as an example of cash hoarding that's unfavorable to shareholders.
"Dell's go-private transaction exposes the disingenuous nature of the cash-hoarding rationalization," he said. "Last year, we were large shareholders of Dell. We were told that foreign cash couldn't be repatriated and that domestic cash needed to be saved for strategic acquisitions, financial flexibility and tough times. We found their attitude toward capital allocation to be so unappealing that we sold the stock. We suspect that we weren't the only shareholders who were frustrated. The frustration helped depress the stock."
The stock price decline created an opportunity for founder and CEO Michael Dell to purchase the company using the company's cash-rich balance sheet. Dell is even going to repatriate some "untouchable foreign cash" to make the deal happen, Einhorn said. Dell's willing to use that cash when it works in management's favor but wasn't when it was in the shareholder's favor, he says.
Apple shares fell a fraction Thursday.
