Our People
David Fuselier
Mr. Fuselier is a former executive with Citibank's Latin American Investment Bank, First Investor's and TWA and for seven years operated Dove Aviation. While at Citibank, Fuselier was an analyst in the loan syndication department; focusing specifically on loans to Latin American countries and government-owned industries. As a senior fuel buyer at TWA, Fuselier managed, bid, and contracted to purchase over 40MM barrels ($1.5BN) of jet fuel, gasolines, chemicals and lubricants, annually worldwide.
Dove was the largest independent wholesaler of Texaco and Union Carbide aviation chemicals east of the Mississippi; supplying over 100 airports and most major and commuter airlines. Through its two subsidiaries, Aviation Fuel Supply and Air East, Dove distributed wholesale fuels in thirteen states and provided retail services at seven airports on the east coast; including ground handling, aircraft fueling, engine maintenance, cargo warehousing and charter services utilizing its 17 company aircraft.
Since that time, Fuselier's firm has invested in petroleum, waste and environmental companies such as a regional home heating oil retailer, a leading retail petroleum maintenance company (providing facility maintenance to over 3,000 retail outlets) and several private and public waste companies.
Fuselier is considered an expert turnaround and corporate revitalization operator with a skilled knowledge of finance, operations and securities and has provided turnaround services to Bank of America, Citicorp Venture Capital, Chase, Fleet, NationsBank and others. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University (MSJ) and Louisiana College (BA).
Philip Cahill
Mr. Cahill brings over 28 years of direct management and practical operating experience to the firm. As general manager of Sandvik Process Systems' Industrial Processing Systems division, he took the division from loss to profit in one year, eventually achieving 14 straight months of profitability. Under his leadership, sales quotas were exceeded by 20% and market share was increased by 5% – while maintaining price leadership and gross profit. In 1982 as GM at Titanium Industries, Mr. Cahill introduced new standards and controls at the $12MM Ti-Fab division to improve production and profitability – in spite of a general downturn in the industry. Later as Vice President of Marketing & Sales, he directed sales activity exceeding $25MM in the US, Canada, and Brazil. After reorganizing the department, sales increased over 90%. The salesforce was expanded into Far Eastern markets, resulting in $8MM in new export business. Mr. Cahill received his B.S. from the University of Detroit and M.S. in Management from Newark College of Engineering.

CHRONOLOGY; 1999; DOI: 10.1215/ed-27-chronology; CL 27: firstpage-27-xxv-lastpage-27-xxvii
1852 January. TC and JWC return from the Grange (2). JWC soon catches cold and treats it with morphine. TC discusses Clough's difficulties in a letter to Lady Ashburton (10). He sends new year's gifts to his mother and family (16), and continues to write to Dr. John Carlyle about re-letting Craigenputtoch.
February. TC collects German maps and books. He writes at length about the aims of the Poor Law Association (5). A new tenant is chosen for Craigenputtoch (9). JWC shops with Miss Farrer, visits friends, keeps in touch with the Ashburtons and Lady Sandwich, is called on by the Countess Reichenbach (10), and goes with Clough to hear Mazzini lecture (11). TC sometimes uses Anthony Sterling's "swift racer" for exercise; he complains of "the idle fallow state of my intellect" (12), and the burden of letter writing; and he rejects the Revue des Deux Mondes' request for a daguerreotype and autobiographical notes. He tries to help his nephew James find employment (14). He tells Lady Ashburton that he still cannot decide whether to write about Frederick (16), but goes on buying books on German history. The Carlyles dine with Edward Ellice and meet Thiers (20). The new conservative administration comes in.
March. In thanking Neuberg for maps and asking for more books and information TC returns for almost the first time to the idea of a visit to Germany (1). The Carlyles go with G. H. Lewes to see one of his plays (5). TC acknowledges Browning's study of Shelley, and reads Emerson's memoirs of Margaret Fuller (8). Their servant Anne falls ill and substitutes need to be found. TC refuses an invitation to Manchester from the Poor Law Association (13).
April. TC complains of lumbago. The household is still upset by Anne's illness. He dines at Bath House (6), and at the Milneses' (7), where he meets Lord Palmerston. Lord Ashburton offers TC money for a benevolent purpose. TC rides regularly, visits Addiscombe, and continues collecting maps and books on Germany. Anne returns (20). John Cochrane's illness involves TC in searching for a new Librarian for the London Library.
May. Though suffering from flu, TC supports John Chapman in his campaign for "free trade" in books. Cochrane dies (4). TC sends Chorley's fair copy of Cromwell MSS to John Forster. He refuses to attend a meeting about "industrial literature" organised by the Society of Arts, but leads a rousing campaign against Gladstone's attempt to foist his Neapolitan protégé, James Lacaita, on the London Library in place of Cochrane. TC tells Emerson that he has secured some of Margaret Fuller's confidential papers left with her friend Margaret Gillies, but that there are still difficulties in getting her to agree to part with them altogether (14). The Carlyles go to Addiscombe (19–25). JWC invites Kate Sterling, who is forbidden to accept by her uncle. JWC attends a grand Ball at Bath House (29). Neuberg still helps with German books; TC thinks it more likely that he will go to Germany; and they take up matters raised by Neuberg's translation of Heroes (31).
June. TC openly mentions to Varnhagen von Ense the "project" of visiting Germany with JWC, and asks for information and advice (6). W. B. Donne is appointed at the London Library (12). By the middle of the month TC reports that he is now working hard. He meets the Duke of Holstein-Augustenberg at Bath House (18), sees Goethe's Faust performed in German at the St. James's Theatre (22), and tells Emerson that he can now send Margaret Fuller's papers.
July. Major changes at 5 Cheyne Row begin after a 31-year lease is signed (4). The builders begin in the drawing room (5), and TC moves upstairs to work in the middle of a London heat wave. The Carlyles call on the Twisletons to see Cromwell portraits (8), but though JWC is offered holidays at Addiscombe or Homberg she wishes to stay at home to supervise the alterations. Heroes is published (10). TC grows restless; Germany is postponed on Varnhagen von Ense's advice till August or later, so he invites himself to stay at Thomas Erskine's at Linlathen (12). JWC acquires a cat, practices German with a friend, and sits for a portrait by Penelope Sketchley. She has been involved in a bitter dispute between Sarah Newton and Frank Jewsbury. TC leaves for Scotland by steamship (21), arriving at Linlathen (23); he visits St. Andrews (29), and local towns. At home JWC receives visitors, including Clough, Reichenbach, and Mazzini, continues to engage temporary maids, and cope with builders. She briefly visits Sherborne to see the dying Catherine Macready (27–30).
August. TC visits Arbroath (5), Kirkcaldy (6), and Scotsbrig (7). After deciding that he and JWC should go to Germany together, JWC declines. She sees John Welsh's balloon ascents from Vauxhall (17 and 26), and dines with Mrs. William Fraser (22). TC visits members of the family at the Gill and Dumfries, and writes to Neuberg proposing his visit (17). He demands a validated passport before leaving from Leith (31).
September. From Rotterdam TC goes up the Rhine to Düsseldorf and Bonn (3), where he visits libraries; he makes excursions to Rolandseck and Honnef and meets Arndt at Bonn before leaving (10) for Frankfurt and Mainz (13), Eisenach, Kassel, Weimar (19), Leipzig, Dresden (22), and Berlin (30). Neuberg is indispensable, but TC suffers from sleeplessness and nervous indigestion. He is occupied with art galleries and libraries, though visits widely and tries to visualize Frederick's campaigns and locate portraits. Meanwhile JWC battles with builders and decorators, with a break at Addiscombe (4–6). She hears of Dr. John Carlyle's engagement (7). She takes the MS of Jewsbury's latest novel to a publisher (10). In spite of builders, JWC entertains Herzen with Saffi, Reichenbach, Brookfield, and Erasmus Darwin (11). Wellington dies (14); Catherine Macready dies (18). JWC, exhausted, takes overnight lodgings to escape bugs and the smell of paint.
October. TC recommends David Masson for a chair at University College, London (1). Burglars attack Cheyne Row while JWC is asleep in lodgings (6). After a busy social round in Berlin, TC leaves for home (9), reaching Ostend and London (12), where the builders have not finished, and so the Carlyles leave for the Grange (15). TC recuperates, while JWC worries about the house, where the painters finish at last (23), and she returns to deal with cleaning (29).
November. After the visit to the Grange TC rejoins JWC. John Carlyle is married in Moffat (2). He takes TC to meet his wife at the railway station on their way through London (5). More books come from Germany, but TC is deeply depressed though tries to settle. Wellington lies in state at the Royal Chelsea Hospital, and the Carlyles watch his funeral procession from Bath House (18). John M'Diarmid dies at Dumfries (18).
December. TC has rheumatism, Neuberg is back, Disraeli's budget is defeated, and the Derby administration falls (17). Rebuilding at 5 Cheyne Row seems finished. Neuberg settles in London, partly to be near the Carlyles. TC arranges for prints from Germany for Lady Ashburton (21). On Christmas day, Brookfield and John Welsh dine with the Carlyles; and, next day, Neuberg is given a copy of the new fourth edition of Heroes. TC says he still does not know whether to write Frederick's life and tells his mother of his relief at six weeks' relative silence and "perfect seclusion of mind" since his return home (31).

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If the two selling prices are each $p$ and the costs were $c_1$ and $c_2$ then $$p = c_1\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)$$ and $$p = c_2\left(1+\frac{y}{100}\right)$$ so you can calculate the overall percentage profit (or loss if negative) from $$\left(\frac{2p}{c_1+c_2}-1\right)\times 100. $$

UCLA Athletics is excited to announce that the seat selection process for the re-opening of Pauley Pavilion has begun.
Based on the rankings established by the Bruin Priority Point Program, all current UCLA Men's Basketball season ticket holders and qualifying donors to the Pauley Pavilion Campaign of Champions will have the opportunity to personally choose their new season ticket location for the 2012-13 season.
Seat selection is already underway for some of the most generous supporters of the Pauley Pavilion Campaign of Champions and the seating process will continue through mid-November. This week, all current UCLA Men's Basketball season ticket holders and qualifying donors to the Pauley Pavilion Campaign of Champions will receive personalized information by mail regarding their individual seat selection appointments.
Season tickets for 2012-13 will go on sale to the public following the completion of the seat selection process for current season ticket holders and donors.
With construction at Pauley Pavilion currently in full swing, the venue will not be accessible to the public during the seat selection process. With that in mind, UCLA has partnered with IO Media to create a state-of-the-art Virtual Venue software product that will enable ticketholders to select seats online. This is different than the venue launched in April that enabled fans to check price and donation levels in the various seating sections.
The "Pauley Pavilion Seat Selection Central" webpage hosted at uclabruins.com provides a variety of features designed for current ticketholders to familiarize themselves with the process for seat selection, including tutorials.
For further information about the seat selection process visit "Pauley Pavilion Seat Selection Central" by clicking here.

Gosh, isn't it nice how smart other people are? We could have never dreamed up this Heart Part Utensil Set ($10). We knew we needed something like it, just not how to go about making it. One utensil heart breaks into two forks, two scoops, and two devices with which to poke stuff (sort of a knife, sort of a toothpick). These are small and slim enough to fit into a diaper bag, wallet, or glove compartment, or onto the daintiest hors d'oeuvres tray. And they're also 100% biodegradable. So, thank you, smarter people, for giving us such ingenious earth-friendly eating tools. Our bellies, budgets, and beaches thank you.

Olson has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year seven times (1986, ?'88, ?'89, ?'93, ?'94, ?'98, 2003), the Big Ten Coach of the Year twice (1979 & ?'81) and directed the UA program to the nation's best winning percentage over the past 16 years (449-111/.802) ... In his collegiate career, Olson has produced 47 NBA Draft picks, including 28 at Arizona ?- 21 alone since 1990 ... He's led UA to 17 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 26 overall in his career, making him one of only five head coaches in NCAA history to record 25 or more 20-win seasons... Under Olson, the Cats are 307-32 (.906) in McKale Center and have won 235 of its last 252 home games ... He is assisted by Jim Rosborough, Rodney Tention and Josh Pastner ... Olson is 0-0 against San Diego.
Last Time Out: The Wildcats used an 18-6 run over the first 4:06 of the second half to break open a 10-point game en route to the 105-80 exhibition victory Thursday against Sonoma State. Channing Frye scored 13 of UA's 18 points in the spurt and finished with a game-high 24 points. Arizona forced 20 SSU turnovers and outrebounded the Seawolves, 43-28. Mustafa Shakur added 22 points and 10 rebounds in the effort.
Scouting San Diego: Four Torero starters return from last season's 4-26 club (1-13 WCC) for head coach Brad Holland. San Diego averaged 68.1 points per game in 2003-04, shot 45.3 percent from the floor (724-of-1600) and averaged 18.4 turnovers per game. Senior Brice Vounang collected 21 points and 10 rebounds in USD's 73-66 exhibition loss to Cal Poly Pomona on Nov. 11. Froward Brandon Gay added 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Toreros posted a +8 rebound advantage.
The Series: Thursday's game marks the second meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 1-0 series advantage. The Wildcats won the only previous meeting, 79-70, in Tucson on Dec. 12, 1972. All-time, Arizona is 1-0 in series games played in Tucson, 0-0 in San Diego and 0-0 in neutral-site games. Arizona is 23-13 (.639) against West Coast Conference opponents. See page 104 in the UA media guide for more series information.
Last Meeting: Arizona 79, San Diego 70; Dec. 12, 1972: Coniel Norman's 22 points led a balanced UA attack as four Wildcats finished in double figures in the nine-point win. Al Fleming pulled down 23 rebounds (the fifth-highest total in Arizona history), including 14 in the second half. Eric Money's jumper with 14:54 remaining broke a 52-52 tie and ignited a 9-2 UA run that gave the Cats a lead it would not relinquish.
For Openers: Arizona has a record of 76-20 (.792) in season openers (results are unavailable for four seasons), including an 18-3 (.857) mark under Lute Olson. The Wildcats are 58-12 at home, 10-8 on the road and 8-0 in neutral-site games.
In November: Fast starts certainly are the norm for the Wildcats under Lute Olson. Over the past 21 years, Arizona is 46-8 (.852) in the month of November.
Preseason N.I.T. History: Celebrating its 20th year as the nation's premier early-season college basketball tournament, the Preseason N.I.T. and the University have mutually prospered under its spotlight. As mentioned earlier, the Wildcats have participated in the event four times (1986, 1990, 1995 1999) and won the tournament three times (1990, 1995, 1999). All-time, Arizona has a 12-1 record in Preseason N.I.T. play, including a 5-0 mark at McKale Center. Currently, Arizona is tied with Kansas for the most Preseason N.I.T. championships won with three. Here is a look at UA's game-by-game tournament results:
Nov. 21, 1986 at UNLV L 87-92 Las Vegas, Nev.
Nov. 14, 1990 Austin Peay W 122-80 Tucson
Nov. 16, 1990 East Tennessee State W 88-79 Tucson
Nov. 21, 1990 vs. Notre Dame W 91-61 New York, N.Y.
Nov. 23, 1990 vs. Arkansas W 89-77 New York, N.Y.
Nov. 15, 1995 Long Beach State W 91-57 Tucson
Nov. 17, 1995 at Arkansas W 83-73 Fayetteville, Ark.
Nov. 22, 1995 vs. Michigan W 86-79 New York, N.Y.

Nov. 19, 1999 New Mexico State W 84-60 Tucson
Nov. 24, 1999 vs. Notre Dame W 76-60 New York, N.Y.
Nov. 26, 1999 vs. Kentucky W 63-51 New York, N.Y.
In the Middle: Center Channing Frye has displayed the type of game in the preseason that one might expect from a senior. The 6-foot-11 Phoenix native hit 9-of-16 field goals en route to a game-high 24 points while adding nine rebounds (five offensive) and a block in just 19 minutes of action. In the two exhibition games, Frye averaged 23.5 points and 12.5 rebounds while shooting 53.1 percent (17-of-32) from the field.
Picking up Where they Left off: Last season, Arizona ranked second nationally with a school- and Pac-10-record 78.6 free throw percentage (511-of-650). The Wildcats haven't let the accuracy slide during the offseason as the team hit 48-of-59 (.814) free throw attempts during the exhibition games. Of the seven players with at least four attempts in the two exhibitions, six are shooting 75.0 percent or better from the line.
Productivity: Sophomore Ivan Radenovic continues to produce in the four spot. In the two exhibition games, Radenovic averaged 13.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists, while shooting 47.1 percent (9-of-19) from the field. Last Thursday against Sonoma State. Radenovic scored 18 points (5-of-8 FG), pulled down four boards and added three blocked shots.
Preseason Recognition: A nation's-best four Wildcats were included on the preseason Naismith Award watch list. Hassan Adams, Channing Frye, Mustafa Shakur and Salim Stoudamire were all on the list of 50 top college basketball players. The Naismith Award, presented annually since 1969, goes to the nation's player of the year. Frye and Stoudamire were also included on the preseason John R. Wooden Award list, and Frye was also selected as a preseason All-American by Playboy magazine.
Versatile: Swingman Hassan Adams continues to develop a nice all-around game. In Thursday's exhibition win over Sonoma State, the 6-foot-4 Adams tallied 19 points and two offensive rebounds, but also added four assists (against one turnover) and collected three steals. He was 8-of-14 from the floor, including 1-of-2 from three-point range.
Role Reversal: Normally, it's Mustafa Shakur that collects the assists and Salim Stoudamire who get the points in the backcourt, but there was a noticeable switch in the 105-80 win over Sonoma State. With the defense geared to take away Stoudamire's productivity, Shakur stepped up by hitting 8-of-14 field goals, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, and finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Stoudamire, meanwhile, collected 10 assists, five boards and a steal.
From the Point: Granted it's only the exhibition season, but the numbers put up by Mustafa Shakur have been impressive. Shakur is averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.5 steals over the two exhibition tilts. Perhaps most impressively, he's passed out 15 assists against only three turnovers in 53 total minutes played.
Defense and Rebounding: Two areas that needed improvement since the close of last season have shown signs of progress. In the preseason, opponents are shooting a combined 38.6 percent from the floor (56-of-145), being outrebounded by a +15 margin, and turning it over an average 18.5 times per game. While UA has collected a total of 23 steals in those two games, Sonoma State did connect on better than 45 percent of its field goal attempts and went to the free throw line 15 times.
Energy: Junior guard Chris Rodgers made a difference off the bench last Thursday, as the Portland, Ore., native collected five points and two assists in 18 minutes. Most impressively, Rodgers nabbed a game-high six steals in the contest, nearly half of UA's total of 14. In the preseason, he is averaging 9.5 points, 2.5 assists and 4.5 steals.
Tops in the Pac-10: In the annual poll of media members who regularly cover the Pac-10 Conference, Arizona was selected as the team to beat for the league title. The Cats received 19 of a possible 26 first-place votes and 253 points overall. Washington (237), Stanford (194) and Oregon (167) rounded out the top four places. It is the 10th time since 1989-90 that UA has been the predicted winner in the preseason poll.
The Next Level: With the 2004-05 NBA regular season underway, no fewer than eight former Wildcats are on active NBA rosters. Only three other schools (Kentucky, 13; Connecticut and Duke, 9) have more players in the league. Here is the complete list: Gilbert Arenas, Washington Wizards; Mike Bibby, Sacramento Kings; Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia 76ers; Richard Jefferson, New Jersey Nets; Damon Stoudamire, Portland TrailBlazers; Jason Terry, Dallas Mavericks; Luke Walton, Los Angeles Lakers; and Loren Woods, Toronto Raptors. Incidentally, six of those former Cats were in the starting lineup on opening night.
More NBA Notes: Bolstered by four schools with seven or more players each in the league, the Pac-10 Conference ranks third overall in terms of putting players on NBA rosters. As of opening night, no fewer than 40 Pac-10 alums were in the NBA. The "Conference of Champions" ranks behind only the Atlantic Coast Conference (49) and the Southeastern Conference (44) in terms of developing NBA-caliber talent.
Television Update: Broadcast information is now available for the John R. Wooden Classic games on Sunday, Dec. 5. KTTU-TV, channel 18 in Tucson, will carry the Arizona-Mississippi State game at 1:30 p.m. PST. Several broadcast outlets, including WGN-TV, MSG network and NESN, will carry both games of the doubleheader. The nightcap features UCLA vs. Boston College.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period. Fendi Onobun (F, 6-7, 215) from Houston, Texas, Alief Taylor High School; J.P. Prince (G, 6-6, 183) from Memphis, Tenn., White Station High School; and Marcus Williams (F, 6-6, 190) from Seattle, Wash., Roosevelt High School, will join the squad next fall.
Up Next: An Arizona win on Tuesday vaults the team into the second round of the Preseason N.I.T., where the team would host the winner of the Wright State/Tulsa game on Thursday, Nov. 18 (tip-off TBA on FSN Arizona). A loss gives the Cats a less-hectic schedule as the team would next be in action at Virginia on Sunday, Nov. 21.

up-close examinations of the shuttle's thermal protection system, including the reinforced carbon-carbon panels on the leading edges of the shuttle's wings as well as the nose cap of the orbiter.
Ground teams will closely examine the imagery and data collected by the OBSS scan to ensure one last time that Endeavour's heat-resistant tiles are safe for re-entry.
This inspection is typically completed after the shuttle has undocked from the space station, but because the crew will stow the OBSS on board the station during the fifth and final spacewalk of the mission tomorrow, the inspection was completed earlier. The OBSS will be stowed on the station in preparation for Discovery's flight in May due to the size of the Japanese pressurized Kibo module it will be carrying. Once Discovery's crew installs that module on the station, it will pick up the OBSS left behind by Endeavour and will bring it back to Earth after performing inspections.
The crew also continued transfers of cargo and equipment between the shuttle and the station. Tonight, astronauts Bob Behnken and Mike Foreman began the campout period inside the station's Quest airlock to purge the nitrogen out of their bodies. This will be completed in advance of tomorrow's spacewalk, which is scheduled to last 6.5 hours.

Computer Monitors
Looking for computer monitors that take up less space and won't ruin your eyes? Its hard not to be impressed by the flat screen monitor. It takes up less space, weighs less, uses a lot less energy and is cool to look at. As an output display device, however, it just can't compete with the traditional monitor. CRT monitors are much better at displaying movies and games. With a CRT monitor you get more pixels for the buck, meaning you will get much more detail than you'll ever get with an LCD flat monitor. Still, that being said, the days of the CRT monitor are slowly coming to an end. With improvments on the way, the LCD monitor will eventually become the monitor of choice.
Find some interesting computer monitor accesories at ThinkGeek.
For purchasing, pricing and shipping information on any of the products advertised on this website, just click on the banners, links or images and create an account to get started.
Aside from the difference in display quality between the LCD (liquid crystal display) and CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors, there are some other rules of thumb to consider. When it comes to buying a monitor, you should always know that the larger the screen is, the higher the cost. A larger monitor will also take up more space. A standard 19" CRT monitor will take up about 20" of space on your desk, while the same sized LCD monitor is only about 7 inches deep. If cost and space are not that important, get the largest screen size you can.
It's also a good thing to remember that the smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the image will be. If you have a problem with eye strain, you should also know that the higher the refresh rate, the less your screen will flicker. Unfortunately, a higher refresh rate also means a low resolution which in turn means less clarity. This is less of an issue with LCD monitors. Higher resolutions also give your more flexibility when it comes to seeing more things on your computer. If you set on getting a flat screen monitor, look for adjustability features, i.e., tilting, etc, and whether or not it comes with USB ports. Recommendations: flat computer monitors are hard to avoid unless display quality is an extremely high priority.

Ladyboy Pussy review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 11/23/2011
A lot of straight guys who have rather ravenous appetites for pornographic entertainment force themselves to be unfortunately limited in the types of porn they'll consider indulging in. I used to know a guy who simply wouldn't watch anything with a dick in it because "that'd be all gay and shit." Others refuses double-penetration scenes or anything with chicks who aren't big-breasted, but an even more common dismissal is of transsexual porn. Assuming the chicks-who-used-to-be-guys are more male than female - or, at least, that's my guess - many porn fans lump transsexual porn in with gay hardcore and declare it unfit for heterosexual masturbatory supplementation. Ladyboy Pussy arrives on the tranny scene to smash that ignorant notion and draw in guys both gay and straight to a site loaded with ladyboys who are definitely leaning towards full femininity; hell, they don't even have dicks! These post-op ladies look great and use their newly minted female genital organs to express sexually themselves in a most hardcore fashion. Promising its prospective members, who pay $29.95 for full access, an exclusive collection of 2000px photo galleries, High Definition videos, weekly updates, and, most importantly, the hottest Southeast Asian post-op models on the 'net, all of them allegedly contactable. Ladyboy Pussy is a simple solution for all those finding themselves torn between their fierce devotion to heterosexuality and the strange, perplexing allure of shemales. After all, if it's got a pussy, it's fair game, isn't it?
While it's great that trannies still in possession of their penises, functional or not, have recently enjoyed an increased presence and popularity on the 'net, it hasn't been so grand for post-op ladies. Now, at Ladyboy Pussy, all that is set to change. The women featured here have a lot to prove, and the faces, the bodies, and the skills to make a hell of an impression.
The sex you'll find at Ladyboy Pussy shows these lovely shemales making great use of their new pussies by plunging dildos into them and being fucked nice and deep by big-dicked men who know a good thing when they see one spread out before them. The sex is usually very energetic, even if the models appear somewhat reserved from time to time, and the frequent appearance of assfucking scenes will surely please many members.
As promised, photo content reaches a very impressive peak resolution of 1300x2000px and offers dynamic, colorful, detailed shots of these gorgeous new women in all their post-op glory. Videos, similarly, are presented at a maximum High Definition resolution of 1280x720 pixels in MP4 format. These HD movies look very good and are easily among the most impressive hardcore post- or pre-op tranny videos on the 'net.
Already holding quite a strong collection of exclusive ladyboy content, Ladyboy Pussy adds one new photo gallery and video scene every week. Members also enjoy access to a heap of bonus content, and an exclusive photo and text guide to the tranny-frequented Hot Spots of Thailand's biggest cities in case you decide to head there for a little action of your own.
Considering they've undergone rather intensive physical alteration from a scalpel-wielding doctor, most of Ladyboy Pussy's models look fantastic. Some, however, have large and distracting scars that will surely turn some of the more picky members right off, as might the extremely masculine faces of some models.
Most videos are not offered in the latest 720p HD MP4 format and instead fall substantially short, quality-wise, usually at just 640x480 pixels. While not much can be done about this now (unless these scenes were originally shot in HD and just encoded at lower quality), it's still fairly disappointing to find an otherwise great older scene let down by a lack of detail.
For a site that's as plentiful in content as Ladyboy Pussy, it's surprising to find the model roster only 35 girls deep. Some greater variety in the ranks would certainly be welcome as these girls appear so often that they probably run the risk of wearing out their welcome with Ladyboy Pussy's members.
Although it is certainly a welcome bonus, the Hot Spot guide to Thailand's nightlife presented here at Ladyboy Pussy really doesn't compare to those found on other transsexual-focused Thai porn sites. Others often go into immense detail and provide a full rundown of what to expect in each location, on different days of the week, and at different times of the year. Ladyboy Pussy's guide merely offers a brief spiel about each club and a single photo.
With a large and weekly-expanding collection of exclusive hardcore porn photos and videos starring the newest women on the Phuket, Pattaya, and Bangkok nightclub scenes, Ladyboy Pussy makes a very strong impression in this, its first review from Mr. Pink's. The available HD videos look very nice, as do the high-res photos, and, of course, the models are gorgeous and eager to show you their fresh, new bodies in any way you can imagine. The sex is passionate and steamy, showing these girls fuck guys in their very first (basically) hetero sex scenes. With time, and with more model variety, a larger percentage of HD videos, and an expanded Hot Spot guide to Thailand, Ladyboy Pussy could be doing an even better job than it currently is. Like Sex Reassignment Surgery, though, these things take time, effort, and a willingness to become what you've always wanted; which, in Ladyboy Pussy's case, is the ultimate post-op tranny porn site.

Why I chose to invest in Greece
posted on 2/15/2015 at 10:10pm EST.
Disclosure: I own shares of GREK. A little while ago I decided to invest in GREK, an ETF composed of 20 Greek companies. Now, some people may think I'm crazy to take this risk but I honestly think this stands a pretty good chance of paying off and believe that I may make a pretty penny on this investment over time. Why's this you may ask? Well, I'll tell you.
There has been so much in the news lately regarding Greece and the chance that they may default on their debt obligations that Greek stocks have been crushed over the last few months. Being a contrarian value investor, this naturally made me sit up and take notice. Now, as it's well known (at least I hope), people have a tendency to over-react to things that get a lot of news coverage and are
What is value investing and why it can be profitable
posted on 4/7/2014 at 7:25pm EST.Value investing is an investment philosophy that emphasizes investing in stocks that sell for less than their intrinsic value. This is in contrast to the other most widely talked about investing style, growth investing. Whereas growth investing generally involves investing in stocks with increasing sales, profits, and often times stock prices, value investing generally means investing in the stocks of companies that sell below book value, though it can also mean stocks that sell for a low P/E, P/(F)CF, P/S, or some other valuation metric (usually a combination of many). The idea behind value investing is a simple one: to find stocks that for one reason or another have been overlooked...
What are value traps and why they're so dangerous
posted on 3/31/2014 at 2:45pm EST.Being a contrarian value investor, value traps are something that I have to be especially careful of. Value traps are like mirages in a desert, from a distance looking like a life-giving oasis but upon closer inspection turning into nothing but sand, and, while mirages have led men to their untimely end, so too have value traps ended a financial journey far too soon. This is why one must be especially diligent when it comes to investing in a seemingly cheap stock. While all the hallmarks of a cheap stock (low P/E, P/B, P/S, etc.) may be present, the stock may still not be cheap...
TGA deal creates possible arbitrage opportunity
posted on 3/20/2014 at 12:43pm EST.
Disclosure: I own shares of TGA. On March 15th 2014, Transglobe Energy (TGA) and Caracal Energy (LON:CRCL) announced plans to merge. This will create a medium sized, ~$1.8 billion E&P company focused on Africa, mainly Chad and Egypt. After the merger, Caracal will list on the TSX while Transglobe will delist from both the TSX as well as NASDAQ. The proposed arrangement will give shareholders of TGA 1.23 shares of the new entity for every share of TGA they own. This is where I believe a possible arbitrage opportunity may currently exist...
Why I hate this bull market
posted on 3/17/2014 at 12:14pm EST.I hate this market, I really do. Every day it seems the market is reaching a new high. While I'm sure plenty of growth and momentum investors are cheering and fantasizing about the yachts they are going to buy, I'm staring with dismay at my monitor. I imagine for many value investors like myself, this market is downright depressing. Even more than that, it's boring! While I'm sure there are plenty of others who completely disagree with me the fact of the matter is that I really hate this market. Here's why: Even more than watching a stock I own go up, I love seeking out and finding a really cheap stock. Not just any old stock, but one that has that perfect combination of positive net assets, potential for even modest growth, and a really low bar set by investors who have given up on the company. Throw in a near-term catalyst and you have yourself a wonderful thing...
Transglobe Energy is an undervalued stock in an overvalued market
posted on 3/9/2014 at 12:53am EST.
Disclosure: I own shares of TGA. Transglobe Energy (TGA) is a Canadian oil producer with assets in Egypt and Yemen. Since most of TGA's assets are located in Egypt, the ongoing turmoil in that country has caused investors in large part to shun the stock. Until recently, Transglobe Energy's Canadian stock listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, TGL (Transglobe is dual listed), was actually the second most shorted stock on the TSX. This selling pressure has created an opportunity for long-term investors.
Except for 2013, TGA has been a fast growing company. Average production per day went from 7,342 barrels of oil per day ("Bopd") in 2008 to an average of 17,432 Bopd in 2012 according to their 4th quarter 2013 and year end results (they stated an average of 17,496 in their 2012 Annual Report so I'm not sure which figure is accurate so I used the lesser number, 17,432, for my calculations.) This is a growth rate of ~137% over four years or ~34.4% per year...
Why I lost money investing in coal...so far
posted on 3/1/2014
Disclosure: I own shares of BTU, CLD, TCK. Back in March of 2012, I started to get back into investing in stocks. I've been interested in the stock market since I was nine years old but in March of 2012 I hadn't actually invested in any individual stocks for a number of years. Needless to say, I was rusty. Looking at the market in early 2012, I saw what appeared to be a value opportunity: coal. The sector was (and currently still is) despised. Investors, like the general public, had largely turned their backs (and wallets) on the industry that was increasingly becoming the whipping boy of the market. The coal industry could do nothing right it seemed. It certainly didn't help that the Obama administration pushed policies that made it harder to profitably mine and burn coal. This was exacerbated by the extremely low natural gas prices at the time as well. These two forces, low natural gas prices and increasing regulatory pressure, seemed to have sealed the coal industry's fate, or had they?...

California Considers Plastic-Gun Measure
Prompted by growing concerns by law-enforcement authorities over undetectable 3D-printed guns, California is considering a new law that would make it a crime to assemble a weapon without permission from the state.
A Democratic state lawmaker from Los Angeles pushing a bill that would require anybody who constructs a homemade firearm to first obtain a unique serial number or other identification mark from the state attorney general's office. Within a day of assembly, the number or mark "shall be engraved or permanently affixed to the firearm."
People banned by state or federal law from possessing or owning a firearm would be barred from constructing the weapons. Violators would face up to a year in prison. The state would also be authorized to charge applicants a fee for the registrations.
"Advances in technology, particularly 3D printers, have created a threat of plastic and self-assembled firearms," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Kevin De Leόn, said in a statement. "We're even beginning to see an emerging industry and market for untraceable and undetectable" weapons. Mr. De Leon referred to such firearms as "ghost guns."
At the press conference, Mr. Leon displayed a homemade fully automatic rifle to reporters.
The challenge of constructing a working gun from plastic has captivated gun enthusiasts and inventors, But, as WSJ's Devlin Barrett reported earlier, law-enforcement officials say such "ghost guns" could compromise security in schools, government buildings and other areas.
Congress in December extended an expiring ban on guns that can't be spotted by metal detectors, but didn't update the bill to address new risks from guns made by 3-D printers.
The National Rifle Association did not oppose the 10-year extension of the federal plastic firearms ban. But spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen said the organization opposes any expansion of the law at either the federal or state level, the Associated Press reported.

A Squalodontid Success
On a beach in Piña, Panama the tide is rolling out. Faint outlines of skeletal remains rise above the sand. Smithsonian scientists Nicholas Pyenson and Aaron O'Dea along with a team of students descend upon the beach. Their mission: to excavate the remains of a whale from the extinct group Squalodontidae, commonly known as "shark-toothed dolphins."
Before they remove the fossil, they must encase it in a plaster jacket. It's a process that can take up to two days. But they are racing the tide and have just four hours to remove the fossil. Will they make it?
Watch a time-lapse video of the dig and read Dr. Pyenson's accounts of the Panama expedition on the Ocean Portal Paleobiology Blog.
Researchers Prepare for a Long Day in the Field
Before heading out to the fossil locality in Piña, Panama on the Caribbean coast, the team of researchers have a full breakfast at a cantina by the side of the road: roasted chicken, plantains, and some coffee.
Jorge Velez-Juarbe
Fish Skeleton Discovery
The fossil squalodontid skull was located in the middle of the tidal environment in Panama, exposed to the eroding elements of surf, sun, sand and waves. When the researchers arrived at the site the tide was just going out. They ambled out through the surf and spotted several other interesting fossils along the way: a partial whale skull, shark teeth, and a complete skeleton of a large fish, probably a close relative to a swordfish or a marlin. This fish skeleton was complete from nose to the tailfin. Shown here is segment of the tailfin against a 10cm ruler for scale.
Jorge Velez-Juarbe
Digging a Trench
The first thing the researchers did when they arrived on site was outline the general excavation area and take careful measurements of exposed fossils. Next, they applied acrylic glue to any exposed bone to help stabilize it. Then a small surface-layer cap of plaster bandages is applied to the skull to protect it from any errant whacks while digging. Finally, the digging begins, and scientists work to make a deep trench around the skull (shown here). The trench allows the researchers to apply a plaster bandage cap around the block of rock containing the fossils in order to extract the skull from the rocks in which it is entombed.
Jorge Velez-Juarbe
Securing the Fossil
After several hours of non-stop digging, the researchers have exposed a deep trench around the skull to begin applying a bigger plaster bandage cap around the block of rock containing the fossils. They use medial plaster bandages which consist of fabric already dipped in plaster -- this way they only have to add water to initiate the hardening process. The team applied around five layers of bandages to the entire surface; creating a cap around the block.
Jorge Velez-Juarbe
Dislodging the Fossil
After the plaster cap has dried and has created a cap around the block of rock containing the fossils, the team is ready to start swinging. Here a researcher takes large pick and strikes the base of the pedestal that the fossil caps sits upon. Done correctly, a few good whacks will dislodge the jacket, flip it, and remove it.
Aaron O'Dea
Excavating the Fossil
A few whacks later and the plaster jacket breaks free from the rocks it is entombed in, estimated to be about 6-7 million years old. The researchers from the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute will move the jacket to higher (and drier) ground to be labeled and hauled away.
Aaron O'Dea
Racing the Tide
The fossil squalodontid skull was located in the middle of the tidal environment in Panama, giving researchers the added challenge of racing the tide for the excavation. The team was successful in their efforts, conducting an excavation that would normally take two days in just four hours.
Aaron O'Dea
Panama Expedition Success
Dr. Nicholas Pyenson, Curator of Marine Mammal Fossils at the National Museum of Natural History poses with the safely encased fossils in their plaster jackets. Eventually the squalodontid, or "shark toothed whale" will make its way to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.

Suspect in FAMU hazing case enters plea
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 11:03 a.m.
ORLANDO — A third defendant charged with the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major has pleaded no contest in an Orlando courtroom.
Caleb Jackson pleaded no contest to manslaughter and felony hazing Tuesday in Orange County court.
His attorney had said last week that he would plead guilty but attorney Chuck Hobbs says he instead decided that it would be in Jackson's best interest to plead no contest.
Jackson had been held in Leon County Jail on a violation of probation since his arrest.
FAMU drum major Robert Champion died in Orlando in November 2011 after he collapsed following what prosecutors say was a savage beating during a hazing ritual.
Eleven other former Florida A&M band members are still facing manslaughter and felony hazing charges.

TC TO JOHN CHILDS ; 24 November 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451124-TC-JCHI-01; CL 20: 61-62
Bay House, Alverstoke Hants. 24 Novr, 1845.
My dear Sir,
Accept many thanks for your continued remembrance of me, for your continued kindness to me. I have sent your missive by a sure hand to Bohn, and expect to find the Book waiting for me when I return to Chelsea. The Address there is, 5. Cheyne Row; when you yourself come to Town, it would be a kindness if you called and asked for me.
The Book on Cromwell will prove very dull, but I hope very authentic; and may, either soon or by degrees, put an end to large quantities of brutal error and confusion which at present deface the memory of that Hero. As to his statue in the House of Commons,1 I think it may be as well for him not to be seen among such company as he is like to find there.
We are down here on a visit, happily escaping the London Fogs for a while at this bad season. In a week or two we shall have to front them again.
Believe me always / Dear Sir / Yours with many thanks
T. Carlyle

When William Shakespeare wrote of "the whining school-boy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school", he may have been speaking from bitter experience.
Local historians in Titchfield, a village outside Southampton, believe that the Bard spent three years of his early life there as a humble schoolmaster.
The theory is centred on the close relationship between Shakespeare and Henry Wriothesley, the third Earl of Southampton and owner of Titchfield Abbey. Titchfield points out that Shakespeare wrote only two dedications in his life, attached to the long narrative poems Venus and Adonis and Lucrece, and

7 Easy Bonsai Tree Care and Growing Tips
Anyone wanting to learn how to grow a bonsai will need a few helpful tips to be successful. Some say that you either have it or you don't when it comes to caring for these intricate little trees but that's not entirely true. If you take the time to become educated on bonsai tree care, there's a good chance you will be rewarded with an exceptional display.
Below are 8 bonsai care and growing tips to reference when you are ready to get started or if you need to do a little troubleshooting with the bonsai tree you may already have:
- Light - Many people don't realize that bonsai trees are meant to be grown outdoors. Sure, since the 1990s, they are grown more inside than outside but that doesn't change the fact that these are trees! If yours doesn't receive enough light, it will die. Keep in mind that sun that comes through a window is reflective. A fluorescent bulb left on above the tree will help significantly. It is also important to note that there will be some species that requires less light. Make sure you know the lighting requirements of your bonsai.
- Water - This is one of the most difficult elements to master in the art of bonsai growing. Unlike other plants, watering on a set schedule just won't do. There are a few methods to use to determine if your bonsai tree needs water or not. First, you can go by weight. When picked up, a thirsty plant will weigh less. The second way is to simply scratch at the soil to feel if it's moist or not. Lastly, you can keep a wooden skewer like a chopstick in the pot. When you need to determine if the tree is dry, pull out the skewer and look for moisture.
- Air Circulation - Bonsai trees hate stale air, probably more than their humans do. They need air circulation to be happy and healthy. Open a window for your tree or move it outside on the patio on nice days. When weather is less than desirable and opening your window is not an option, keep a small desk top fan on by the tree. An osculating one is ideal so there's not a constant stream of wind blowing on it all the time.
- Fertilize - Bonsai trees are hungry. Unlike watering, fertilization is something that can be done on a schedule. Water-soluble fertilizers usually recommend feeding your plants every other week. There is a common misconception that you should fertilize bonsai at half-strength, this is not true. Simply use the fertilizer according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Dormant Period - Once again, understand that your bonsai is a tree. If it is grown outdoors, it would receive a dormant period of cold weather, bonsai trees need at least a six to eight week break of low temperatures. You don't necessarily have to move yours outside, you can relocate it to the basement or a lightly heated garage in the winter. If you don't offer a dormant period, your bonsai tree will eventually become stressed after a couple years and go dormant when it chooses.
- Clean - Bonsai trees are not like your other household plants that may have a layer of dust accumulating up on their leaves, they need to be cleaned. You also need to clean the debris off of the soil once your brush off the tree. Don't leave it there, it's not food and sure isn't decorative.
- Humidity - You know how your skin and throat get dry and itchy from being indoors with the heat and air conditioning? Well, your bonsai tree feels exactly the same way. These trees need humidity. While you can mist your plant, it's much better to place stones in a large tray of water and set the pot on top so it's not actually touching the water. This will provide a constant supply of humidity.
- Diseases and Insects - One of the most important things you can do when you're learning how to care for bonsai is become familiar with and able to identify diseases and insects. The quicker you recognize a problem, the better chance you have at saving your tree.

Why Choose A Reputable Real Estate Agent
One of the biggest decisions that you can make in your life is the decision to purchase a home. Purchasing a home is not something that you should take lightly at all. In many cases, it will require a 30 year commitment, which is not a small amount of time. As you get ready to start the search for a home to buy, make sure that you look at finding a reputable real estate agent. Some people may scoff at the notion, citing the internet age and how you can do it all on your own. However, that is not a good thing. Don't go DIY here, there's reasons why choosing a reputable real estate agent will trump all other options and it starts with experience in the marketplace.
Finding The Right Houses
First and foremost, if you are going to spend any amount of money on a home, make sure that you consider finding the right one. That may seem simple enough, but it's not. You cannot look online and expect to find a lot of resources. Yes, you can find some, but the listings that you are going to want to see are usually tied to an agent. Furthermore, an agent can work within several different ideas to ensure that you get the "right" house. The best in the field will not only get you to the areas that you want to see, they'll adhere to the things that you absolutely love and want in a home.
Negotiating For The Best Price
Perhaps the best thing about hiring a good agent is that they can negotiate. They can not only negotiate to get a better price, but they can fight for you to get the best possible option of procuring a home. The best in the industry will not only get you a good price, they'll negotiate amenities and bonuses to side with you.
Remember, they win when you are happy, so the best will always seek out how to make you happy with the purchase of a new home.
Insider Information
Shopping for a home can be a tough thing. However, an agent can ease the burden with a bit of insider information. They can give you first look at certain properties, as well as establish options that are going to give you a better mortgage, and more. They'll also be able to lock up certain home options so that others don't come in and take them out from under you.
A Note on Selling
For those that are selling their homes, and aren't sure they want to work with a real estate agent, consider trying one out. You'll find that with an agent in your corner, you can get your home sold for a good price, and without worry about being on the market for too long. This is a process that many homeowners aren't sure about, but when it's all said and done, an experienced realtor can get your home sold fast, and within the profit margin that you are seeking.

We Are Neukölln
Gentrification is like climate change. Its so obvious that everybody talks about it all the time but nothing happens. That leads to people getting annoyed by the topic, so they eventually start to ignore it. Gentrification is in the media, in politics, in rap-songs and on house-walls but most of the time the debates exclude those who really have to take the consequences; whose lives change because of the complex process which mostly gets reduced to a superficial discussion about "the hipster". Katharina Fitz takes a subtle approach to the topic. In her ongoing series "We are Neukölln" she portraits the shop owners alongside Karl-Marx-Straße. Her pictures explore the ambiguity of Neukölln and make the people visible that are dealing with the pressure of a changing environment. Check out Katharinas other works : www.kat-fitz.com
Wonderful article, Nico.
endlich mal ein richtig guter Artikel mit tollen Fotos
Oh man, I so love this.
Wonderful series! I love seeing all these shop owners & their stores. Two wig shops – hilarious.

The Ronald McDonald Houses are a "Home Away From Home" for thousands of families every year who must travel to the Kansas City area to receive medical treatment for a sick or injured child. Together, the three Ronald McDonald Houses (Cherry Street House, Longfellow House and Wylie House) provide temporary lodging to as many as 80 families each night while their children undergo vital medical care. The family Suites inside our Longfellow House allow us to serve immuno-suppressed children and their families (i.e. organ transplants and bone marrow transplants). Both Houses offer a warm and welcoming place to sleep, as well as full kitchen facilities, laundry facilities, living rooms and recreation areas to provide a homey environment where families may relax away from the stresses of the hospital and meet other families experiencing similar crises.
Cherry Street - Answering the Call for Families in Need
After months of planning and site selection in the historic Longfellow/Dutch Hill Neighborhood, ground was broken at 25th and Cherry Streets on the second Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City in June of 1987. The property was donated by Hallmark Corporation to Children's Mercy Hospital and leased to our organization for the new Ronald McDonald House. Construction of the 18,000 square foot home took 15 months, and the second House opened on September 19, 1988, exactly 7 years after the first Kansas City Ronald McDonald House had opened. Read more...
The Longfellow House was a unique project made possible by an unprecedented partnership between KCMO Parks and Recreation, Hallmark Corporation and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RMHC built a new 41 bedroom Ronald McDonald House in Longfellow Park directly west of our existing house on Cherry Street. The facility was designed with many "green" or environmentally sustainable features that enable it to be ultra-efficient in terms of energy consumption and a healthy atmosphere for children and their families who call the House their "home away from home" while in Kansas City for medical care. Read more...
Wylie House - A Labor of LoveThe Wylie House was the third Ronald McDonald House opened on Feb. 12, 2015. Adding 20 more bedrooms to make 87 total in Kansas City, the Wylie House was built in order for RMHC-KC to be there every time for the families that need their services. With area hospitals growing and expanding, the waiting list grew to unmanageable numbers, and this House was the answer to that need.

XP recognizes player but not songs
Checked all the related questions in this forum but can't find any answer to my problem. So...
Sansa E280 v2
latest firmware 03.01.16A
Win XP
I reformatted my E280 since my laptop wouldn't recognize songs on the internal drive in either MTP and MSC mode (but would recognize songs on the card in MSC mode). I thought it might be due to the fact that I loaded some songs in MTP mode and others in MSC. So after reformatting I loaded about 100 songs, all in MSC mode (drag and drop in Win Explorer on Win7 machine). All songs were tagged using mp3Tag (using Win7).
I still have the same problem in XP. In Win Explorer in MTP mode I see External uSD card and Internal memory. Under External card I can see the songs no problem. Under Internal memory I see all the subdirectories (music, photos, etc) but under music there is nothing. The space available on the drive is shown correctly so it "knows" there are songs on there. As a test I loaded a song in MTP mode on the internal drive. I can then see that song but not the ones loaded in MSC mode.
In MSC mode I only see the card, no drive for the Sansa. I can see the songs on the card no problem.
The player shows all the songs so I can still listen to them but it's impossible to manage the songs on the internal drive.
I don't have this problem at all in Win 7 but I almost always use the laptop with XP.
Anybody have any fixes?
|[Remove Advertisement]
Try testing a few tracks with different tags, IIRC the e200 series doesn't like v1 tags. Only load in one mode, I use MSC and mine all show but I can't recall the tags it likes best but IIRC v2 work best. If you care to check, they should be listed in one of the e200 FAQ's.

I don't want to assume that you don't qualify for a traditional mortgage because of your credit. As a seasoned mortgage professional, I understand that there may be other factors that affect your ability to obtain a mortgage at this time. Unless you have experienced some significant event, there are lenders that will do loans with score as low as 540.
I expecially enjoy working with buyers who need a little help. I also offer credit counseling. Let my expertise help you purchase or prepare to purchase a home in the near future.
I would be glad to speak with you to discuss whether I can offer you another option to leasing.

Remember if the property is distressed (short sale / foreclosure) it's next if not impossible, your best bet is a non-distress property the owner owned before the big price run or a home the owned put a lot of money down. Mostly you will find people need to sell before they can buy due to loan criteria.
I've placed a few over the last few months and we were able to work around some problems.
Let me know if I can help, also the mortgage company I use can work with you to fix your credit and they don't charge upfront fees.

Many sellers today may not be willing to entertain a lease purchase. A word of caution - you need to be aware of the owner's financial position. A number of owners are in a pre-foreclosure process which may cause a problem for you. Be careful of the non-refundable down payment that may be required. It would be a good idea to contact an attorney to assist you with the lease option as well as researching the stability of the property owner.
If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
