Guided by Faith
Lieberman draws no line between religion, policy.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) has been in public life a long time and has left an extensive public trail of votes and positions on the issues.
But when Al Gore named the two-term U.S. senator and former Connecticut attorney general as his running mate this week, as much initially was made of Lieberman's religion as his record on the issues.Lieberman, who is Orthodox, will be the first Jew in U.S. history to be named to a major national party ticket.
Perhaps this scrutiny on his religion comes because Lieber-man's religious convictions form the base for his political beliefs.
His record shows him to be a moderate Democrat who crosses party lines on certain issues. His moderate approach fits most of the agendas supported by main-stream Jewish organizations.On many domestic issues, such as gun control, abortion and hate crimes, Lieberman supports much of what those organizations stand for: some increased gun control, the right of a woman to choose and national hate crimes legislation.
One issue that may define him as a candidate - and at the same time divides the American Jewish community - is school vouchers, government money that could be used for private schools.
Lieberman co-sponsored legislation in 1995 that would have provided vouchers to low-income parents so they could choose to send their children to attend public, private or parochial schools.
Most Jewish organizations oppose school vouchers, fearing even indirect government funding of parochial schools would still violate the separation between church and state. But Orthodox groups side with Lieberman.
"Certainly he has been one of the key champions of school choice in the Senate," said Abba Cohen, director and counsel of the Washington office of Agudath Israel of America.Lieberman's plan doesn't directly provide vouchers, but it is an incentive program and an "important step," according to Cohen.
Another issue that may demonstrate Lieberman's pragmatic approach is his stance on prayer in public schools.
While he generally opposes such prayer, in 1992 Lieberman spoke out against a Supreme Court decision that struck down prayer in school graduation ceremonies.
"Students who are gradua-ting will lose much more than they will gain from the prohibition of prayer at their graduation," he said.
The Supreme Court this year said student-led prayers at high school football games are not constitutional. The court is expected to address the issue of student-led prayers at graduations in the coming term.Lieberman also takes a centrist approach to foreign policy.
A strong supporter of Israel and foreign aid to the Jewish state, Lieberman did not want to put pressure on the administration to advance an American peace plan while Israeli-Palestinian negotiations were going on last year.
In a letter to the administration from 81 senators led by Lieberman, he said, "It would be a serious mistake for the United States to change from its traditional role as facilitator of the peace process to using public pressure against Israel."
The letter praised Israel's support of the Oslo accords and cited Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat's threats of violence.
Nevertheless, at the National Prayer Breakfast last year, Lieberman, over objections from some American Jewish groups and congressional lawmakers, welcomed Arafat and prayed that God would guide him and Israeli leaders in the path to peace.
Lieberman also has showed his disapproval for the administration's use of a waiver to postpone moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jeru-salem in the interests of national security.
In 1999, Lieberman and nine other senators sent a letter sternly warning President Clinton against invoking the waiver, saying it would be inconsistent with the intent of Congress.
"Non-fulfillment of the law does no good to the U.S.-Israeli relationship or to prospects for Arab-Israeli peace," the letter stated. Clinton exercised the waiver at that time, but he indicated after the failed Camp David summit last month that the administration would reconsider its position.
One of the most memorable stands that Lieberman took was not on a policy issue, but rather on Clinton's behavior during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
In September 1998, just a few weeks after Clinton admitted he had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, Lieberman was one of the first Democrats to speak out, and he chose the Senate floor as his venue.He called Clinton's behavior "disgraceful" and said the implications of the Clinton scandal were so serious that he felt a responsibility to his constituents and his conscience to voice his concerns publicly.
"Such behavior is not just inappropriate. It is immoral. And it is harmful, for it sends a message of what is acceptable behavior to the larger American family," Lieberman said.
"I am afraid that the misconduct the president has admitted may be reinforcing one of the worst messages being delivered by our popular culture, which is that values are fungible. And I am concerned that his misconduct may help to blur some of the most important bright lines of right and wrong in our society," he said.
Lieberman's strong moral stand showed his character, many analysts say, and will help Gore distance his ticket from the problems of the Clinton administration.
But even as he rebuked the presi-dent, Lieberman showed his loyalty to the Democratic Party and to Clinton, an old friend.
"Let us as a nation honestly confront the damage that the president's actions over the last seven months have caused, but not to the exclusion of the good that his leadership has done over the past six years, nor at the expense of our common interest as Americans," he said.
While Lieberman said that Clinton's behavior should be followed by "some measure of public rebuke and accountability," Lieberman eventually voted against convicting Clinton on the two impeachment articles that he faced in the Senate in 1999.

The Bruins' final non-conference game will be nationally televised on ESPN2 with Dave Pasch and Bill Walton on the call. UCLA has registered a 2-1 all-time record against the Crimson Tide with both teams last meeting in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
Venue: Pauley Pavilion (13,800)
Tipoff Time: 7:05 pm (PT)
TV Talent: Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Bill Walton (analyst)
Radio: AM 570 (KLAC)
Radio Talent: Chris Roberts (play-by-play), Tracy Murray (analyst)
SIRIUS Satellite Radio: Channel 91
UCLA's game against Alabama can be heard at 570AM or listen free via the TuneIn radio app (link available here).
UCLA has opened its season with 10 wins in its first 12 games for the first time since beginning the 2008-09 campaign with a 14-2 mark ... the Bruins opened this year with an 8-0 record … through games played Monday, Dec. 23, the Bruins ranked seventh in the nation in scoring (86.4 ppg), second in field goal percentage (52.6) and fifth in assists (18.4 apg) ... UCLA's 86.4 points per game ranks second in the Pac-12.
UCLA has posted a 1.77 assist to turnover ratio through 12 games, the second-best mark in the Pac-12 through Dec. 23 ... UCLA has registered more assists than turnovers in each of its 10 victories … sophomore Jordan Adams has led UCLA in scoring, either by himself or tied with teammates, in 10 of 12 games ... he scored in double figures in the Bruins' first 11 games and has reached the 20-point plateau seven times.
Sophomore Kyle Anderson has emerged as one of the country's most dynamic players, currently the only Pac-12 player to rank among the top five in rebounds (8.9 rpg), assists (6.7 apg) and steals (1.8 spg) … freshman Bryce Alford (7.4 ppg, 3.5 apg) ranks first in the Pac-12 with a 3.5 assist-turnover ratio, and sophomore Kyle Anderson has posted a 2.2 ratio (seventh-best in the Pac-12) with a team-high 80 assists in 12 games.
UCLA has recorded a 2-1 all-time record against Alabama. Most recently, the Bruins defeated the Crimson Tide, 62-59, in a second-round matchup at the 2006 NCAA Tournament en route to advancing to the NCAA Championship game against Florida. Previously, UCLA downed Alabama 79-57 in Anaheim at the 2001 John R. Wooden Classic (Dec. 8, 2001). Alabama won the first-ever meeting against UCLA on Nov. 28, 1983 in Pauley Pavilion. The Crimson Tide enter this Saturday's game led by senior guard Trevor Releford's 17.0 points per game.
Sophomore guard Jordan Adams leads UCLA with 18.9 points per game, having scored at least 20 points in seven of 12 contests. Adams scored a career-high 30 points against Morehead State (Nov. 22, Pauley Pavilion) and registered his first collegiate double-double in UCLA's 80-71 loss at Missouri (Dec. 7). The resident of Atlanta, Ga., finished second in scoring for UCLA last season, having averaged 15.3 points per game as a freshman.
No player in the country is averaging as close to a triple-double as is UCLA's Kyle Anderson (14.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 6.7 apg). Through games played Tuesday, Dec. 24, Anderson was the nation's only player to be averaging at least 10.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg and 6.0 apg. Eastern Washington's Drew Brandon (11.3/7.1/5.8), Connecticut's Shabazz Napier (15.5/6.7/5.6) and BYU's Kyle Collinsworth (12.8/8.0/5.3) all trail Anderson in that vaunted category.
Kyle Anderson registered the third triple-double on record in school history on Nov. 22, logging 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in UCLA's 81-70 victory against Morehead State. That marked UCLA's first triple-double since Dec. 18, 1995, when Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin. Through his UCLA career, Anderson has finished three assists shy of a triple-double in five games (twice last season, three times this season). Against Duke on Dec. 19, Anderson had 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and five steals.
UCLA freshmen Zach LaVine and Bryce Alford have played instrumental roles off the bench. In all, the Bruins' bench this season has accounted for 31.1 percent of its total scoring (322/1037). LaVine ranks third on the team with 12.8 points per game. Alford has scored 7.4 points per game and ranks first in the Pac-12 with 3.5 assists-turnover ratio. LaVine scored 21 points against Nevada on Nov. 28 and followed that with an 18-point effort versus Northwestern on Nov 29. Alford scored a season-high 18 points against Northwestern, connecting on 7 of 9 shots.
The Bruins have averaged 86.4 points through their first 12 games, the program's highest per game offensive output this early in a season since averaging 88.5 ppg after 12 contests in 1994-95, the last year in which UCLA won the NCAA Championship. Earlier this season, UCLA compiled a seven-game streak of at least 80 points scored in victories. That feat had not been accomplished since the 1994-95 campaign (streak from Feb. 22-March 17, 1995).
Senior forward David Wear scored a team-leading 16 points in UCLA's 80-63 loss to Duke at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 19. In UCLA's last two games, Wear has averaged 12.5 points per game, making 10 of 12 field goal attempts (.833) and 4 of 4 three-point field goal attempts. He enters Saturday evening's game against Alabama having averaged 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Wear has shot 57.6 percent from the field (38/66).
Following UCLA's game against Alabama on Dec. 28, the Bruins will open Pac-12 play against USC (Jan. 5) before hosting games against No. 1 Arizona (Jan. 9) and Arizona State (Jan. 12). Last season, the Bruins went 3-0 against Arizona, including a 66-64 win in a Pac-12 Tournament semifinal game. The Wildcats could enter that game maintaining their current No. 1 ranking in both the AP and USA Today Coaches' polls. The game on Jan. 9 would mark the first time UCLA has played the nation's No. 1 team since Dec. 6, 2009 (lost to Kansas, 73-61, in Pauley Pavilion).
Norman Powell has played in more games in a UCLA uniform than any other current UCLA basketball player. Powell has played in 80 career contests, making 22 starts, having played in all 80 games since the start of the 2011-12 season. He scored 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting against Chattanooga on Nov. 24. Powell has logged career averages of 6.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He has scored in double figures in seven of 12 games this year.
Freshman Noah Allen suffered multiple fractures to his face after a collision with one of Oakland's players on Nov. 12. He underwent surgery on Nov. 14. A timetable for his return has not been determined. Freshman Wanaah Bail missed UCLA's first five games of the season recovering from left knee surgery before making his collegiate debut in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 28. Senior Travis Wear missed UCLA's first three games (appendectomy on Oct. 28).

Walker's Pace: On to 1,500 Semis for Centro, Wheating
Friday, August 3, 2012
Matthew Centrowitz and Andrew Wheating both advanced to the semifinals of the men's 1,500 meters, while Brianne Theisen had a solid first day in the heptathlon Friday at the London Olympics.
The two Duck alums took very different routes to Sunday's semifinals. In the opening round of the men's 1,500, Centrowitz was strong throughout his heat, but had to hurdle around a runner who fell in front of him late in the race and recover to finish fifth in heat three. His time was 3:41.39 in the slowest of the three heats.
That ended up being crucial for Wheating, who was the final runner to advance on time. Wheating may have been a little late with his kick at the end of his race and that nearly proved costly for the three-time NCAA champion. Instead, his seventh-place finish of 3:40.92 stood up as the last qualifier on time.
The top six runners from each heat automatically advanced, with the next six fastest times also moving on. The other five runners who advanced on time all came from heat one, where Leo Manzano was fifth (3:37.00), meaning all three Americans advanced to the semifinals.
Meanwhile, in the heptathlon, Brianne Theisen completed a solid first day in 15th place with 3,763 points. She opened by running 13.30 in the 100 meter hurdles.
She just missed a heptathlon PR in the high jump by one centimeter, clearing 1.83m/6-0. She then threw 12.89m/42-3.5 in the shot put before running 24.35 in the 200 meters to wrap up day one.
Saturday, Theisen concludes the heptathlon, while Galen Rupp is in the men's 10,000 meter final and Becky Holliday begins the qualifying rounds of the women's pole vault.

Ted R. Coté | May 2012
Committing a sin—now that's an oft-misunderstood concept. What does it mean, what really constitutes a sin? Somem people have different understandings of what marketing is: the business activity of presenting products or services to potential customers in such a way as to make them eager to buy. Marketing includes such matters as pricing and packaging of the product and the creation of demand by advertising and sales campaigns.
Many small businesses forget the importance of marketing to grow their business, and marketing soon becomes an afterthought. Strategic marketing is a critical component of building a successful businesses, and without it, most businesses either have stunted growth or fail. Some businesses only do marketing when their businesses start to slow. Some slow-growth businesses will then rush to do some marketing, resulting in feast or famine cycles in regards to generating sales leads.
Sin #1: Working "in" Your Business Instead of "on" Your Business
I was recently speaking with a small business owner who was in a sales slump. I asked him to detail all his activities for the next three days, fax them to me, and then give me a call back. Three days later, he faced me his activity list on a spreadsheet and indicated how much time he spent on each activity. It only took a moment to determine exactly what his problem was—he had forgotten what business he was in. After reviewing his activities, it was clear that he was in the "putting out fires" business because that's where most of his time was spent. Rather than working "on" his business, he was working "in" his business. He should be spending his time, as should any of us who own small businesses, working on his business by doing things like planning and marketing, which have a higher long-term payoff.
Sin #2: Failing to Create and Use a Marketing Plan
A marketing consultant I know was speaking at a conference with about 200 small-business owners in the room. He asked the crowd to hold up their hands if they had a current marketing plan that they use and refer to on a consistent basis. Only three hands went up! Even he was shocked. Studies have shown that small businesses that create and consistently use marketing plans experience an average of 30 percent higher sales then their competitors. I am sure that any business would like to increase their sales by 30 percent.
Here are a few tips to help you create a marketing plan:
Tip 1—Start your plan by studying and documenting the specific reasons why your clients buy from you.
Tip 2—Create a message that focuses entirely on the results from Tip 1.
Tip 3—Break your plan down into mini plans such as a referral marketing plan and an advertising plan.
Tip 4—Hold a weekly meeting to review your plan.
Sin #3: Failing to Implement Systems
A system is a business process that generates predictable, consistent and replicable results day after day. If you want to see a good example of a system, simply visit a fast-food franchise like McDonalds. Notice how they do the same things the same way every single time. Unfortunately, most business owners never take the time to systematize their business, which results in duplication, waste, chaos and ultimately lost sales. Sin #1 is partly to blame for not getting around to creating and implementing systems.
The ironic thing is that most small companies have systems for just about everything they do, but they don't document them or train their employees to use them. I like to use the acronym SYSTEM (Save You Stress, Time, Energy and Money) to explain the benefits of using systems.
Sin #4: Forgetting to Market to Your Current Customers
Many small business owners believe that once you sell your product or service and the happy customer walks out the door or hangs up the phone, then the deed is done and you need to move quickly on to the next prospect. While that is true, your next prospect might have just walked out the door or hung up the phone!
Many business owners tend to think, "my customer just bought a widget from me; they're not going to buy another widget so why waste my time on them? Let's find a new prospect." This is especially true if your product or service is a high-ticket item. The fact is that you should be getting 60 to 70 percent of your business from your current customers through referral and repeat business.
A good marketing plan should include customer appreciation events, monthly or quarterly newsletters and should be advertised through the community. In addition, every small business should implement systems that generate multiple streams of customer referrals.
Sin #5: Not Testing or Tracking Your Marketing Efforts
The only way to invest in your marketing efforts with confidence is to test a campaign, track it and measure your results. One idea is to always offer something in your advertising campaign so that you can track your response.
This strategy also allows you to capture your prospect's contact information so that you can continue to follow up with them.
Sin #6: Not Differentiating Your Small Business
Are you aware that prospects receive on average over 3,000 marketing impressions a day? With all that clutter that you have to compete with, how do you make a small business stand out? How do you distinguish a business in a way that separates it from the competition? Is it with ads that say best prices, biggest selection or superior service? Everyone else is saying the same thing! They must differentiate their business in such a way that stands out from the crowd and gets noticed.
A simple way to do that is to keep a close eye on the marketing that really captures your attention and make a note of it. Then borrow and modify these strategies and ideas to create a unique and compelling message.
Over the last few years, we've all become keenly aware of how the style and substance of marketing is changing. More than simple words and pictures, the most competitive players in the market now promote their products and services with exciting campaigns that utilize media formats across the board in sound, print, web and video—all orchestrated to drive the message faster and more effectively.
It's true the majority of small business owners are committing one or more of these sins, but they can all repent and improve. I recommend taking one sin that you are committing and focus on improvement in that area. Nail it—then move on to the next sin. Business success usually results from commitment to making small process improvements over time.

Could a Botched Remodel Be the Homeowner's Fault?
From Margaret Everton on September 07, 2011 in Tools and Tips
Indirectly, yes.
We've all heard horror stories about a remodel gone bad. The pitfalls of home renovation have been popular subjects for books, television and film comedies. For the homeowner caught in the middle of a remodeling disaster, however, it's no laughing matter. Skyrocketing costs and ongoing delays from shady contractors can drive a homeowner to distraction, and can even end in financial hardship or divorce. How do unscrupulous contractors get away with it?
Unfortunately, homeowners sometimes invite it. When you aim for a home improvement project to be "fast and cheap," you're simply asking for trouble. Think about it this way: the best contractors are successful, and being successful means – you guessed it – they're busy. In fact, it's normal for an above-average contractor to schedule renovations two to four months in advance.
Even just speaking with a good contractor over the phone can be tricky. The dangers of construction sites – ladders, roofs, crawl spaces, cellars – as well as the noise of construction equipment – does not lend itself well to phone conversations. Expect a good contractor to take days (even a week or more) to return your phone calls.
Plan wisely from start to finish.
When searching for a contractor, try to get recommendations from an independent referral service like CalFinder. For fast pricing on a project in your area, click here.
Once you've got a few potential contractors on the list, start making those phone calls – but give them a few days to get back to you.
A few key questions will help you narrow the list:
- Have they done home improvements such as yours?
- Will they provide references?
- How many projects do they typically undertake at the same time?
Face-to-face interviews not only enable you to quiz the contractor about expectations for the project, they give you a chance to measure how well you will be able to communicate with the potential contractor. While it's not a personality contest, you want to ensure that you understand what the contractor is telling you, and that he understands you as well. Definitely follow-up with references, and if possible, visit a current job site. Seeing a job in action will give you the best idea of what to expect during your own home remodeling project.
A credible contractor will want to see plans and blueprints before making a bid on your project. In order to compare one bid against another, ask for a breakdown of materials and labor. Be very wary if one bid is much lower than several others. This may indicate that the contractor is so inexperienced that he doesn't know how to properly quote the project, or that he plans to take shortcuts that may cost you money later.
In the long run, "fast and cheap" often equals a long, drawn-out and expensive nightmare. When it's your home on the line, find a quality contractor that will go above and beyond for you. And then some.

Bix Beiderbecke: Singin' the Blues – as heard in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
Singin' the Blues
Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra (with Bix Beiderbecke)
Bix & Tram (JSP Records 913)
Bix Beiderbecke (cornet), Frankie Trumbauer (C-melody saxophone), Jimmy Dorsey (clarinet, alto sax), Bill Rank (trombone), Eddie Lang (guitar),
Doc Ryker (alto sax), Paul Mertz (piano), Chauncey Morehouse (drums).
Recorded: New York, February 4, 1927
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
By the time Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool was first marketed as such (1954), cool jazz had been around for 30 years. The 1920s evoke hot-footed flappers burning up the dance floor to Hot Fives, Hot Sevens and Red Hot Peppers, but "Singin' the Blues" is cooler than bathtub gin in an igloo. Backed only by Lang at Heaven's gait, minute one features Trumbauer's sweet oddity C-melody sax. Minute two finds Bix's legendary legato supplanting Trumbauer. Minute three ushers in the remaining cast for an easygoing finale. This classic track could illustrate an audio dictionary under laid-back. Indispensable loveliness.

I need help I'm under aged and not sure if I'm ready. Should I keep it or give it up?
I'm 17 and just found out that I'm about 9 weeks pregnant. The good news is that my parents know so the hardest part of the pregnancy is over. My boyfriend(whom I am no longer with) knows and says that he'll be there for me and his child the whole way. Abortion is not an option because I strongly believe that if you were grown enough to lay down, then you should be grown enough to deal with the repercussions. I no longer live my mother(I wasn't kicked out) but I now live with my sister. If I keep it she said she would help seeing how both her and her husband are both pharmacist and can afford to. I don't know what to do though part of me is telling myself to bless a family unable to have children while the other part doesn't want to give it up and keep it in the dark. So somebody please help me!!!

Hi, I have a tiny bit of experience, because I got pregnant outside of marriage and am now raising my baby alone. My whole family wanted me to place her for adoption and I gave it a lot of thought and prayed about it. I even had a family picked out, but in the end I knew that it was not right. However, my circumstances are completely different - I'm 24, close to graduating college, and still have a romantic connection to my baby's father. I hope with all my heart that we will be a family someday. But I wish that I would have thought about all of the things that I would miss out on, as well as all of the things that LO misses out on. Think about adoption - go to school, have fun, fall in love, and then start a family when it's really a FAMILY. In the end, it is YOUR choice, but remember that it will affect you and your entire family for the rest of your life. Good for you for being responsible, and I hope that you do what you feel is right for you and the baby. Best of luck! Hugs~posted 10/07/2012 by mj0701
Only you can find the solution, honey, don't do what other tell you, because what you don't want to do is to regret your decision. Either decision. I personally think that if your situation isn't too bad, like it doesn't seem to be, you have all support around you, even the father said he will be there, which sounds like a lot of support in the circumstances, you have your family on your side even financially, and you are mature in your points of view... I'd say I would personally keep it. But only you know how ready YOU are to be a mom. Because there is more than the external help, you also need to be ready. I believe that if I were capable of keeping my baby, and because of fear I give it to adoption. In a matter of years, I would look back and regret it seeing how life has gone in a positive direction and seeing that there perhaps were a good way to keep him with me. But only you know if your life looks like going that way. Be strong and make a thoughful decision, u'll live with itposted 10/07/2012 by luciafschnupp
If you think that you and your family ie your sister can give the baby love, a home, financial security then there is no reason to adopt. It is what is best for the baby. You should go and see a counsellor at brook or through your doctor. Adoption isnt something you just decide its something you have to live with for the rest of your life. It is the best option sometimes but only you trully know if you can raise the baby and give it all that the baby will need. Hope you find your decision, dont rush, dont stress, get advice. Good luck.posted 10/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I would strongly look into adoption. I know this is a very hard choice but so what's best for the baby in the end.Only you know what that is. _ Good Luck.posted 10/03/2012 by Villani

On Monday, April 21, 2014, the modern Hair Metal band, Steel Panther will be performing the final of a special three week series to celebrate their newest album 'All You Can Eat' and the latest video premiere and first single the album 'Glory Hole' at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California.
See the new video 'Glory Hole' on Youtube here:
The previous week, their second show on April 14, 2014 became a sold out show with fans coming dressed to match with the band, with leggings, teased hair and wild makeup. Steel Panther encourages ladies to dress up because they get invited to dance on stage with the band after a few songs in their set, also a reason the show does not have a barrier between the stage and fans.
Steel Panther hugely interacts with the crowds, everyone leaves with a smile on their face and if the venue has the ability, there is a party afterwards with them.
Photos from the April 14th show is available in the gallery. Special guest appearance included Chris Jericho of Fozzy and Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides who sang along on stage and covered the Scorpions 'Rock You Like a Hurricane."
After the final Los Anegles Show on April 21, Steel Panther prepare for a national tour. Dates are available on their website.

Chapter 7 Versus Chapter 13 Personal Bankruptcy
When an individual needs to file personal bankruptcy, the two available options are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. However, certain regulations determine which one an individual may file.
Chapter 7
This chapter was created to eliminate debts. It is available to individuals and corporations. If an individual has credit card, personal loan, payday loan and other types of unsecured debts that are too burdensome for him to service and pay down, then this bankruptcy chapter may be the appropriate remedy. The chief purpose of a Chapter 7 liquidation case is to wipe out prior debts entirely and to provide the debtor with a fresh start for rebuilding financially.
When the debtor completes her bankruptcy, she receives a discharge. The discharge is a removal of the debts encompassed within the bankruptcy - in essence, treating them as being taken care of by virtue of the bankruptcy.
With Chapter 7 cases:
- Debtors have little property aside from basic life necessities (clothes, furniture, etc.).
- They have no money remaining after paying monthly expenses or they are not able to pay monthly expenses.
- Most of their unsecured debts can be discharged.
- These cases move fast and take only a few months.
- Automatic stay protections cease creditor collections.
- Debtors must qualify under the statutory "means test.""
- Debtors must take credit counseling session before filing bankruptcy.
Chapter 13
This chapter is for prospective individual debtors who have an income source and are in the position to repay at least a portion of their debt burden if they are given sufficient time. That repayment of debt may entail the payment of an interest rate that is lower than prevailing market rates. The main purpose of a Chapter 13 reorganization is to allow the debtor to repay some of her debts without incurring constantly-building late fees, interest and penalties due to lapsing or falling behind in payments.
The chief advantage of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that by its plan, a debtor can restructure her debt with creditors through revised agreements on amounts, time lines and interest rates. At the end of the bankruptcy, even if debtor only repays a portion of her debts, they are still deemed paid in full. Debtors choosing to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy have homes and/or cars they wish to retain and protect from creditors' seizures. This chapter permits the debtor to retain those assets and that property, while concurrently setting up a repayment plan for debts with her creditors.
With Chapter 13 cases:
- Debtors have a great deal of equity in their homes and/or cars or other property they want to retain.
- They have income and can pay some living expenses but can't seem to keep up with regular payment schedules each month.
- They are permitted to retain most property.
- They can spread out their payments on accounts that are delinquent.
- They have about three to five years to catch up their payments on a reworked schedule (plan) that is agreed to with the trustee and creditors and is approved by the court;
- They make a single payment each month to the trustee, and the trustee pays the creditors from that payment throughout the plan's term.
- Debtors' cosigners might be protected under this chapter.
- This chapter is eligible to any debtor with unsecured debts under $360,475 and secured debts under $1,081,400.

It's always challenging for those of us living in colder climates to find stylish footwear. It's easy to give up, too, and just tell yourself you'll change shoes whenever you get to where you're going and so what if you have shoes the size of hippos while you're walking down the street. But this year, we're pretty excited about these Sorel boots ($130), and how they combine stylish touches with hardcore preparedness.

A seventeenth-century Asian antique jar that is shaped like a dragon was once sold at Christie's collectible auction in New York for a record amount of $8M. Yes, only for a jar.
So what makes an antique jar or bottle valuable? Its age, of course, is not the sole indicator of its value. Here are the factors that affect the selling price of an antique glass jar or a vintage glass bottle:
You might want to inspect that old mason jar you have been using in your pantry to contain dried herbs. You might also want to think about that green square glass jar you got from your grandmother's kitchen twenty years ago. A valuable antique might be lurking there, and you might realize that, all these years, you have been using a goldmine as a flour container!

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are taking the world by storm. This is making Zuckerberg wealthier than ever imagined, as he gained $3.2 Billion as Facebook soared on mobile revenue, reported Money News on Jan. 31, 2014. The 29-year-old chief executive officer of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has gained $3.2 billion in assets, raising his fortune to $27.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In 2013 he added $12.4 billion to his net worth.
Facebook rose 14.1 percent to $61.08 in New York, following quarterly results in which revenue gained 63 percent to $2.59 billion, according to a company statement. Analysts had been predicting on average sales of $2.35 billion. Last year Zuckerberg focused on adding more ways for advertisers to reach consumers as users spend more of their time on wireless devices. In the latest quarter mobile promotions accounted for $1.25 billion in revenue, representing 53 percent of ad sales, which was up from 49 percent in the prior period.
Facebook's adjusted income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was up by 98 percent from the prior year to about $1.46 billion, or $0.31 per share. Thomson Reuters had been calling for 0.27 in adjusted earnings per share based on $2.33 billion in revenue, reports 24/7 Wall Street. The firm ended the year with $11.45 billion in cash and equivalents. In December 2013 daily active Facebook users were up 22 percent to 757 million on average, while mobile daily active users were up 49 percent to 556 million on average. All indicators make it appear 2014 will probably be another good year for Facebook. In the meantime, the gap between the extremely wealthy and the extremely poor is growing more dangerously wide than at anytime in American history.

The title being elusive, it is important to know that the Guardians of Rescue (GOR) is not a typical rescue where rescuing puppies is an everyday type of situation. Instead, this particular animal rescue it quite special because they go wherever, whenever to help military personnel seeking to rescue dogs – in addition to being a typical rescue.
The two puppies that they recently helped to save was requested by a United States Elite Special Forces Team. GOR has the know-how and is able to acquire the means to take part in just such a rescue mission.
According to the International Security Assistance Force, the United States has approximately 32,800 troops still in Afghanistan. While our soldiers are deployed, many times the only relief they may possibly feel is to bond with dogs living around them. However, when it is time to go home, these same individuals are broken-hearted to have to leave their canines behind. This is when they seek the assistance of the nationwide animal rescue organization, Guardians of Rescue.
They know that this particular organization is familiar with the safe, secure transportation of the animals back to their motherland. Tomorrow, July 23rd, GOR will join forces with animal rescue organization Nowzad to bring two dogs from Afghanistan to the U.S. to reunite them with the sergeant in Raleigh, North Carolina that originally saved them.
Said the sergeant, "When we got there, we saw a few Afghanis standing around something and firing at the ground," states an elite special forces sergeant, whose name cannot be revealed. "We could see an adult dog and figured that they were shooting the dog over and over again. When we got closer, we saw that the situation wasn't what we expected. The corpse of a dog on the ground had a litter of puppies no more than a week old and they weren't just shooting the mother but also shooting the pups."
The Elite Special Forces team quickly intervened and took the two surviving puppies, naming them Rommel and Blitz. The two tiny orphans were hand-raised by the team and grew up on the base camp and became comrades, protectors and loyal companions.
It was with heavy hearts that the team realized that they would have to leave their canine companions behind when it was time to return to the United States. Rommel and Blitz would have to be left behind. It was sadder yet to consider, given their rough beginning, that Rommel had a broken leg as he had recently been hit by a contractor's truck. The leg was never set because there was not a veterinarian in sight. He just managed by limping along for several months.
The soldiers realized that without their protection, the dogs lived in heightened danger from enemy forces. Time was of the essence and that is when the team reached out to Guardians of Rescue.
Together with the animal organization Nowzad in Kabul arranging transportation, and Rachael's Rescue in North Carolina raising enough money to get the dogs to safety and an additional $10,000 to transport them to New York, GOR's effort began. Once safe with Nowzad, Rommel received much-needed surgery to save his shattered leg.
"This is part of our No Buddy Left Behind Program", stated Robert Misseri, founder and president of Guardians of Rescue. "Raising that kind of money isn't easy, but helping our heroes and their four-legged battle buddies is the least we can do. After all, they sacrifice their lives for our freedom on a daily basis."
Within 5 weeks, Guardians of Rescue raised the funds to bring Rommel and Blitz to America. The organization still needs donations to cover the cost of transportation and medical expenses, but for now the dogs will finish the last and most important part of their journey....reuniting with their heroes in North Carolina tomorrow.

What've I been doing? Writing fast.
By docteger on Oct 09, 2007
I was given a project in August to complete the Deployment Example 1: Access Manager 7.1 Load Balancing, Distributed Authentication UI, and Session Failover by September 28. Now, this was a deadline set before I got the book but I, in my best technical writing hat, decided to do my best to keep on schedule. Thus, I spent the next two months writing, researching, and asking questions rather than blogging the great information I was receiving. Well, folks, I sent the completed tome out for review last Friday. Granted this was not September 28 (it was October 5) but considering the breadth of the book, it was still darn good. Look for a review copy of this book to be posted to this blog in the next day or so.

Because masturbation is all about pleasing yourself, when it comes to evaluating what makes for great masturbation technique you are both the judge and jury. But hundreds of years of masturbation myths have left many at a loss for ways to spice up their masturbation routine. If you've already covered the basics of masturbation techniques for men and masturbation techniques for women, but feel like you're in a self-love rut, consider these "advanced" masturbation techniques. There are varied masturbation techniques of holding the male organ during masturbation.
Some of the popularly use grips are: – (I) Fisting – Holding it with the whole fist at the base. (ii) Chortling – Holding it with the thumb and the first or second long finger. (iii) Thumbing – Applying pressure over its head with the thumb. (iv) Fluting – Touching it in turn with different fingers as if playing a flute. For the woman, There are many different masturbation techniques that women use, some of which you may have tried, or at least heard of. It is important to note at this time that few women use exactly the same method, which is quite different then men, who tend to masturbate in much the same way.
It is a good idea to experiment with different masturbation techniques, so that you can learn to achieve orgasm (if you find yourself currently unable to), or discover how you can enhance your level of pleasure. The most popular method, and one of the easiest to administer is manual stimulation of the clitoris by rubbing, stroking or squeezing either directly or indirectly. The simplest masturbation techniques is to begin by simply squeezing the penis, until the penis becomes semi-erect and then stroking from the tip to the base of the penis.
Another common method is to begin by slowly rubbing the penis building up to a more vigorous movement. You may like to grasp the shaft of your penis wrapping your whole hand round it. Others may want to hold or grasp their penis between their thumb and first or middle finger. If you are uncircumcised, you can draw the foreskin over the head of the penis and then pull it back down the shaft to get an erection.
If you are circumcised, repeated squeezing round the shaft and letting go is usually effective as masturbation techniques. Try holding off ejaculation by varying the stroke when you become too excited, before finally letting go in orgasm. As the tip, or glans of the clitoris is very sensitive, direct stimulation for any length of time feels uncomfortable or even painful to most people, it is preferable instead to stimulate the clitoris by applying pressure to the mons, or rubbing or squeezing the vaginal lips together. In this way you will be able to adjust the intensity of pressure and rhythm as you go along approach orgasm experiencing various masturbation techniques.

Miami Dolphins: When is it time to "Suck for Luck?"
I'm not even gonna lie. I've considered accepting a ticket on Steve White's "Suck for Luck" train.
Before the season I thought that was CRAZY talk. And the fact it was even being mentioned regularly on WQAM was disrespectful to the team, the franchise, and the South Florida sports community.
The defense was going to be too good (Reality slapped me in the face…the glue is gone).
Chad Henne showed flashes of a pulse during the exhibition season (fools gold…still no hurry up offense, or red zone execution after 30 NFL starts).
Reggie Bush was going to be a dynamic weapon for this offense (This coaching staff needs an instruction manual on how to get Bush in space).
Brian Daboll's aggressive approach was fitting for the talent on the roster (aggressive doesn't necessarily mean top notched execution. The playmakers actually have to make the plays on what's drawn up).
Tony Sparano's an offensive line guru. He's eventually got to fix this mess of an offensive line (that guru label can never return considering his line's been a disaster three of four seasons).
And here we are South Florida, the Dolphins are 0-3, and I've honestly begun scouting college quarterbacks.
Those who know me (Mob members) know I don't have the desire, or time to watch college football games until December, during bowl season. (Proof: I'll be in the air or at an airport for 10 hours tomorrow in route to San Diego).
HOWEVER, I've seen Stanford's Andrew Luck play two games during the late-night hours. I was curious. I've got to admit he's impressive, a difference maker, can do everything you need a quarterback to do.
Luck is probably the best quarterback prospects since Peyton Manning, and we all see how well the Colts are doing without Manning these days.
Unfortuntely, Luck's a redshirted junior and can leave another NFL franchise at the alter again, just like he did the Carolina Panthers last draft. But Cam Newton was a pretty good rebound.
That's why I've also started taking a peak at some of the other top ranked quarterbacks: Baylor's Robert Griffin III, USC's Matt Barkley, Oklahoma's Landry Jones, and Arizona's Nick Foles. We're not talking full games on all of them. But I can tell you enough to know this quarterback class is pretty deep.
2012 is CLEARLY the year the Dolphins NEED to invest an early, first-round draft pick into a top shelf young passer. It's time to stop trading for veteran arms, using second-round or lower draft picks, and finding stopgaps.
The NFL has become a quarterback driven league and any team that doesn't have one doesn't have a chance (Dave Hyde would love to hear me say that considering he's tried to convince me of that for three years).
The question is when do you considering doing what it takes – being bad on purpose to make sure the Dolphins are worse than Kansas City and Indianapolis – to win the "Suck for Luck" contest?
And how would that sit to the players inside the Dolphins locker room, the ones putting in the 60 hour work week?
I discuss those issues and other things with Gino Torretta and Steve White during my regular WQAM Friday segment. You can listen to it on that highlighted link.
We also breakdown some the team's issues and problems, outlining what's brought about this 0-3 start, and discuss possible fixes.
Real Dolphins fans better hope something gets fixed in time for Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers or the "Suck for Luck" train will be picking up stream, and maybe a few more passengers.

This is such an excellent idea and will be trying this stat! Thanks for the shareReplyDelete
Great idea! Have used picFrame but will try in Photoshop.ReplyDelete

What an amazing idea! SO cool! thanks for sharingReplyDelete
i love this so much! Thanks for going to the trouble of documenting the process for us!ReplyDelete
from katespade-aholic.com
I love this idea. Thank you for sharing! Gotta miss the photo strip machines. My daughter and I like to stop at the photo booths when we can find one. Just like my mother and me - always making the funny faces. ;)ReplyDelete
this is so niceReplyDelete
I just found your tutorial on pinterest and it seriously just made my day!ReplyDelete
I've already made several! Thanks!!

This is such a cute idea!! Love it! xx KrystalReplyDelete
I love this idea. Thanks for the tip. I'm a new follower.ReplyDelete
THIS IS SO CUTE! i'm so excited to buy an iphone in a few weeks, especially for the instragram app, haha:)ReplyDelete
That looks awesome! Could probably take it to a regular photo printer too... Printing multiple little squares would save on photo printing!ReplyDelete
This was an awesome tutorial! I tried it out today and it looked fabulous!ReplyDelete
what strikes me is this. why do *you* have a lovely PINK thumb-drive and I have only a boring BLACK one???ReplyDelete
brilliant idea - i used to absolutely LOVE it when my friends and I used to go to the photobooths! We used to have such a laugh and loved being able to pass the photos around to other people - the mini prints are so cute! Thanks for sharing and reminding me of a fab idea that I'm about to try this second! XReplyDelete
Love this! Could you possibly include the Photoshop template?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes please!! any way you could include the template for us to use?! :)Delete

What a great tutorial. I've featured this post on Craft Gossip here:ReplyDelete

I made them this afternoon and they turned out adorably! My only issue is that the pictures ended up being a bit blurry, probably because they were shrunk to such a small size. how did you get the photos from instagram into your computer? I uploaded mine to my computer from my iphone and the images seemed a bit larger than an instagram photo (even though they had been downloaded from instagram) and ended up being 612x612 pixels, which is much larger than 1.5x1.5 inches.ReplyDelete
Advice on how you got the images small without pixelating them?
Love this! And btw, you can have a photobooth in the palm of your hand. Incredibooth is for iPhone and I think it's got some connection to instagram. Have fun.ReplyDelete
Cute idea. I too am obsessed with instagram. I'm planning on making a book with all our pictures of this year that we're living in Brazil.ReplyDelete
Is there a way to do this if you don't have an iphone? Love this!ReplyDelete
These look great. Have you seen our Postagram app? It allows you to print and ship your Instagram or cell phone photos as physical postcards for just $.99 each. Here's a link to the app http://postagramapp.com/ReplyDelete
If you'd like some credits to play around with, you can email me at email@example.com and I'll set you up. Thanks!
I would really appreciate it if you could share your photoshop template. If I tried to make one I would probably end up throwing my computer out the window. And then how would I read your blog?ReplyDeleteReplies
No Iphone so I will def. have to play around with my photo programs and see how this can be copied. No computer skills here but where there is a will there is a way and having the basis of reading your tut is a great start! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
have you ever thought of making a preset for this? I agree with Lindsey above... I am not very good at photoshop and am about to throw my laptop!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
You are a lady and a scholar.
i love this, found it on pinterest, its my next "I can make that" tooReplyDelete
what photoshop program do you use?ReplyDelete
Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to make the template? I think it's adorable! Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to make the template?ReplyDelete
And if you don't have photoshop is there no way to do this? :( I love the idea soo much.ReplyDeleteReplies
try paint.NET (at www.getpaint.net, appropriately enough) It's free, and it should be able to do this just fine. Photoshop might be a bit quicker, but such is life.Delete
I shall try making the photoshop template but i feel like I will fail :/ Great idea though!ReplyDelete
Quick question: I think I have the same version of photoshop as you do, but when I drop in the pictures, they are only black and white, even if they were in color...any ideas?ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds like you've got the mode set for grayscale. In the top menu bar, click on image, then mode, then RGB color.Delete
Very cute idea! thanks for the tutorial.ReplyDelete
Such a fun and great idea! I love photostrips and love instagram, so, this just works perfectly! Lovely blog too!ReplyDelete
Liesl :)
I love this - too bad I don't have photoshop though.ReplyDelete
I'm in love with Instagram and edited photos. These bring my back to childhood days of taking silly photos in photobooths. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I wonder if you need to add the white borders? If you didn't add them, and just left a blank space between the photos, would the space between print out white or black? I *think* it would print out white anyway ... though, black would look pretty good too ...ReplyDelete
this is such an adorable idea! i want to try it now :)ReplyDelete
pandaphilia style
Can you email the template?ReplyDelete
I am not goo with Photoshop and cannot figure out how to make the template.
Hi I was wondering if you could either post the file for the photoshop template or email it to me. firstname.lastname@example.com
You can do the same thing on picasa (free download from google) if you don't have photoshop. Just pick the pictures you want, make a collage, and print.ReplyDelete
Um, I've not heard of Kinko's, and you made the whole Photoshop look butt-kickingly easy, and I don't have Photoshop (or Photoship, thanks spellchecker) but I appreciated the tutorial ;)ReplyDelete
That is super cute.ReplyDelete
Loving this so much that I featured it today in my Friday Features at http://www.liveteachcreate.com/ff511ReplyDelete
thanks for the tutorial. just used it and made some photo strips for my son's graduation cards.ReplyDelete
Thank you! It's my next too!!ReplyDelete
That's an absolute fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
This is simply adorable!! I might have to try this sometime!ReplyDelete
Could you also email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) the template? I stumbled upon this on pinterest and I think it is just adorable :)ReplyDelete
Thank you!
what if you dont have photo shop!?ReplyDelete
I'm kind of new to Photoshop. Could I make a template that is wall sized, save it to a jump drive then have Kinkos print it?ReplyDelete
I love this!!!! Could you please send me a template???? I am pretty new to Photshop....ReplyDelete
I wuold love to try it!!!
Thank you!
This is a great idea. I have Photoshop for 2 years and I still can't figure it out. For all you gals out there who need a photo program to do this try Photoscape -- it's a free download that does not expire.ReplyDelete
It's easy, but it takes a little time to get used to -- but here's how to get a template -- click on the tab that says "Combine" and on the right side column click on 'down' which will create a photostrip for you. You can add as many photos as you want.
To begin be sure you choose editor to find where your photos are 'living' and then just drag the photo you want to the center of the page, and continue on.
Hope this helps.
This idea is so cute! I made a photoshop template. I have not blogged before :) but I created one so I could share. http://cammygoucher.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
how do you get photos off instagram?ReplyDelete
Off topic...but your pic up at the top reminds me of Kris from Ghost Hunters International...ReplyDelete
Adorable! Would you be willing to share your template? I have no idea how to make one. :(ReplyDelete
This is a really cool idea but it's quite tedious so I made a program that will do this automatically! http://boothgram.comReplyDeleteReplies
What if you have a PC and no photo shop? Can you still create the strips?ReplyDelete
Will you share your photoshop file for the setup? Thank you!ReplyDelete
Will you share your photoshop file for the setup? Thank you!ReplyDelete

If you want the tutorial on how to make the template follow this link and scroll to the middle of the page- a lady has posted a video and it was very very helpful. It was so helpful that I was able to make my photostrips without using photoshop (used a rip-off version) and without using instragram photos (cropped my own pics from my digital camera on my computer into squares).ReplyDelete
Hope this helps!

I recently had received question if any stored procedure is encrypted can we see its definition in Activity Monitor.
Let us do quick test. Let us create following Stored Procedure and then launch Activity Monitor and check the text.
USE AdventureWorks
-- Create Encyrpted SP
CREATE PROCEDURE uspEnc
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
-- Execute SP
EXEC uspEnc
You will be not able to see the text of the encrypted Stored Procedure of the SQL Server.
What do you think? Is there any other way we can approach this?
Reference: Pinal Dave (http://blog.SQLAuthority.com)

How Can i Use Stored Procedure in C#.Net Window Application..
I am creating stored Procedure in sql server 2005..
And using Visual Studio 2008.
Thanks In Advance
Per Books On Line (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187926.aspx),
"However, the text will be available to privileged users that can either access system tables over the DAC port or directly access database files. Also, users that can attach a debugger to the server process can retrieve the decrypted procedure from memory at runtime. For more information about accessing system metadata, see Metadata Visibility Configuration."
Wouldn't we call viewing the execution plan or the Activity Monitor a debugging exercise?
In that case i would use this below query to find the object name.
Select text,OBJECT_NAME(objectid) as objectname,* FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)
where encrypted=1
I would decrypt the procedure. You can do it yourself or buy one of those many tools (SQL Decryptor, Decrypt SQL, etc, etc) that will do it for you. It will cost you (or your company) around. 150 dollar.
Looking at DBA point of view, I think encrypted stored procedures are horrible. You can't see what queries are executed, you don't have a clue what the execution plan is… So if users are complaining about the slowness of the system, and everything is encrypted… then it will be a hell of a job to tune the query….
If there's a way that you can see the query if it's executed from a encrypted stored procedure (besides decrypting that procedure) than I would love to hear about it!
About the purpose : I don't have a clue! The only thing I can think of is that If you sell software that's using a SQL Server database with stored procedures, customer's with very little knowledge of T-SQL (and who do not have a DBA employed) can't modify the procedures.
Hi Dave,
what is real purpouse and limitations of encrypted stored procedures? Can you give me some real world example of its use?
Great articles btw!
This is really good. But now how to get your procedure text back to Alter that procedure.
Well, pretty much all performance data for the encrypted procedure is available through DMVs and Profiler, however it is available only on a procedure level, and not on a statement level. You will be able to see the performance of the procedure as a whole and not for each statement.

Amazon (AMZN) just announced a big multiyear deal with HBO to include The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire and others in its Amazon Prime premium service.
AMZN stock didn't respond dramatically, drifting down a bit on the day and continuing its 2014 slump. AMZN stock is off about 19% this year after poor earnings in January … and judging by the reaction lately, another bad Amazon earnings report could be on the way today.
That's understandable, since Amazon Prime memberships are still relatively small potatoes compared to the massive e-commerce engine of the bigger AMZN mothership.
However, investors shouldn't overlook the big potential of Amazon Prime subscriptions long-term as Jeff Bezos & Co. keep adding features to move AMZN stock beyond just e-tailing.
AMZN Stock Needs Prime Long Term
We've seen a number of Amazon Prime headlines lately, from news that the company will be raising the price of the service from $79 to $99 a year to headlines about AMZN getting into streaming hardware with its newly unveiled Fire TV set-top box.
This latest headline is perhaps even more important than the other two, because it shows not just growth for Prime but a bit of defeat from a peer. HBO has long tried to insist that you could only get its content by subscribing to the premium channel through your cable service. Sure, subscribers could stream through its HBO Go portal … but the channel was still in charge.
Now, Amazon has paid a pretty penny to break down that wall and has exclusive access to very popular HBO shows … shows that its chief streaming rival, Netflix (NFLX), does not.
That makes a membership to Amazon Prime look much more attractive. And considering that Amazon Prime already boasts "tens of millions" of members and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in extra revenue from the steady drumbeat of subscription payments each quarter, this could help add a much-needed stream of cash to AMZN beyond e-commerce transactions.
Of course, things are less rosy for HBO parent Time Warner (TWX), which has struggled to get its media business into growth move. While rough estimates suggest the multiyear licensing deal with Amazon is worth somewhere between $200 million and $400 million, that immediate payday might come at the cost of future subscriptions.
At any rate, amid Amazon earnings, it's important to remember the big strides taken as of late to attract and retain more Prime users. Not only will this provide added revenue at $99 per person up front, plugging people into the Amazon video universe will drive increased transactions in the Amazon Instant Video store where you can download TV shows and movies just like on iTunes from Apple (AAPL).
Time will tell how this pays off, but remember amid the short-term focus on last quarter's earnings that there are big things afoot at Amazon that could affect AMZN stock in the long term.

Ghost Rider

Snippets of Rush lyrics (written by Peart) appear at the opening and close of various chapters, and as adjuncts Peart provides along the way. It's eerie to see how some of his attitudes and thinking pre-tragedy shaped his recovery after those events; it's even eerier the Rush CD Roll the Bones deals with death and matters of circumstance, written long before Peart experienced those first-hand. At the close of the book, he describes the process by which he began to pen lyrics again, for the Rush CD Vapor Trails (and it's easy to pick up on the themes that later braced that CD, starting with small personal victories).
I turned the last page of the book last night, and was left with two striking thoughts that paired with a difficult day of work:
1. Tormented by time and space where he was, Peart rode his motorcyle. Fast. Speed and distance (changes in space over time) counted for more than direction. Forward progress.
2. He rediscovered hope by building on the things that gave him joy: first his motorcycle, then nature, then caring about the environment, and eventually meeting his second wife.
I put on Rush's Snakes & Arrows, a CD about hope and faith, in some ways the third part of the Peart mental travelogue, on the way home. It's audio Anne Lamott.
