Economic Update
California labor markets continued to slide in June. The state lost nonfarm jobs and the unemployment rate inched up. Despite improving home sales, construction activity remained depressed.
- Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 12,800 in California in June, following a revised loss of 8,900 in May (originally reported as a loss of 10,900).
- Five of the state's 11 major industry sectors gained jobs in June, with educational and health services leading the way. Educational and health services added 4,100 jobs; leisure and hospitality, 1,700; other services, 1,400; financial activities, 1,100; and natural resources and mining, 100. On the downside, government lost 6,500 jobs; manufacturing, 4,400; professional and business services, 4,400; trade, transportation, and utilities, 3,000; information, 2,200; and construction, 700.
- From June 2007 to June 2008, the state lost 39,900 nonfarm jobs, a 0.3-percent drop, with the state's beleaguered housing industry continuing to be the focus of most of the losses. Employment rose 58,800 in educational and health services; 35,100 in government; 14,100 in professional and business services; 9,600 in leisure and hospitality; 5,900 in other services; and 1,100 in natural resources and mining. Over the year, employment fell by 86,000 in construction; 32,000 in financial activities; 26,600 in manufacturing; 10,100 in information; and 9,800 in trade, transportation, and utilities.
- Following a large jump to 6.8 percent in May, the state's unemployment rate increased to 6.9 percent in June, the highest rate since October 2003. California's unemployment rate was 5.3 percent a year ago. The national unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.5 percent in June. The gap between the state's unemployment rate and the national rate has widened considerably in the last year—from 0.7 percentage point in June 2007 to 1.4 percent last month.
- Nonresidential construction followed a see-saw pattern during the first half of 2008. A sharp drop in January was followed by a rebound in the following two months, followed by another slowdown in April and May, and then a slight recovery in June. Overall, nonresidential permitting during the first half of 2008 was down about 4 percent from the same months of 2007. A significant drop in office construction accounted for the largest share of the overall slowdown.
- Home building slowed in June with permits issued for 67,900 units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate. This pace was down nearly 34 percent from June 2007, and permitting during the first half of 2008 overall was down nearly 43 percent from the same months of 2007.
- Driven to some degree by distressed sales prices, California home sales in June stayed above the 400,000-unit level for the second consecutive month. Home sales reached 420,600 units on a seasonally adjusted annual rate basis, up 17.5 percent from a year earlier. This was the third consecutive month with a year-over-year gain. The last occurrence of three consecutive year-over-year gains was in September 2005.
- Behind the positive news on sales was further deterioration in home prices. The median price of existing single-family homes sold in June fell to $368,300, down nearly 38 percent from a year earlier. This was also the tenth consecutive month-over-month drop in California's median home price.
- The improved sales pace
was also reflected in other housing market barometers. The
inventory of unsold existing homes, as well as the median number of days needed
to sell an existing house, both fell in June.
Monthly Cash Report
Preliminary General Fund agency cash for July was $18 million above the 2008-09 May Revision forecast of $5.601 billion. Revenues are $338 million above May Revision estimates for the months of May through July.
- Personal income tax revenues to the General Fund were $261 million above the month's forecast of $2.641 billion. Withholding receipts were $260 million higher than the projected level of $2.524 billion. July's withholding strength appears to be related more to variances from estimates of monthly cash flow during the third quarter than economic strength. August withholding may provide a clearer picture of the actual trend. Other receipts were $48 million below the anticipated $433 million – July is not a significant month for income tax estimated payments or final payments. Refunds came in $54 million under the estimate of $269 million. Proposition 63 requires that 1.76 percent of total monthly personal income tax collections be transferred to the Mental Health Services Fund (MHSF). The amount transferred to the MHSF in July was $5 million above the month's estimate of $47 million.
- Sales and use tax receipts were $81 million below the month's forecast of $2.041 billion. July represents the final payment for second quarter taxable sales, which was due on July 31. A more complete picture of second quarter sales will be available later in the month, when all of the second quarter receipts have been processed.
- Corporation tax revenues were $52 million below the month's estimate of $254 million. Prepayments were $78 million lower than the forecast of $290 million and other payments were $20 million below the $106 million that was expected. Refunds were $46 million below the projected level of $142 million.
- Revenues
from the insurance, estate, alcoholic beverage, and tobacco taxes
came in $17 million above the $55 million that was expected. Pooled
money interest income was $6 million above the estimate of $24 million,
and "other" revenues were $133 million below the month's
estimate of $586 million, thus offsetting the cash flow gain in
June as expected.

Republican J.R. Claeys has an impressive record of leadership and experience that he hopes will gain him the votes to be the next Secretary of State of Kansas. J.R. has traveled to every corner of the state, listening to Kansans, and sharing his ideas for growing jobs and securing our elections from fraud. Running against Claeys is Shawnee County election commissioner Elizabeth Ensley and former GOP Chairman Kris Kobach.
Mr. Claeys began his career in politics as a field coordinator for the Kansas Democratic Party back in 1998 but has been a registered Republican since that time. After graduating from K-State, he went to Washington DC and worked in fundraising for the Republican National Committee. While in the nation's capital, Claeys served as director of communications for the National Small Business Association (NSBA) while attending George Washington University School of Business. He has earned a reputation as an expert on Small Business legislation and has advocated for tax-fairness in health care for small businesses.
Claeys is a certified international elections observer and has participated in ensuring that recent elections in South and Central American were fair and secure. This is the type of experience that he will highlight in candidacy for Secretary of State.
His message is going to resonate with fiscal conservatives in the state and should prove popular in attracting the support of moderate Republican and Democrats who went with Governor Sebelius in recent election. Locking down the moderates support is going to be crucial as we move into the primary season. Kris Kobach is popular with the conservative base and has already pointed out Claeys former ties to the Democratic Party.
Mr. Claeys impressive record of leadership and experience provide a solid platform to propel him to the Secretary of State's office. Who knows? Maybe he can follow another former Secretary of State from Salina into the Governor's office.

Miami Dolphins: First meeting against Pats a distant memory
As far as the Dolphins are concerned, their season-opening loss to the New England Patriots happened last season.
That 38-24 loss seems like years ago. That's the thinking entering the rematch Sunday at Gillette Stadium. The Dolphins are a different team. And so are the Patriots.
"We should be different," cornerback Vontae Davis said. "It's week 16, we should be different. I expect us to be a different ball club."
In fact, neither team is looking back much to that first meeting. Interim coach Todd Bowles said about the only thing worthy of revisiting is how they want to avoid a repeat. New England quarterback Tom Brady threw for 517 yards and four touchdowns.
"As a team I think we've matured a lot," Bowles said. "It was a rough night for everybody. We couldn't do anything right. They did everything right. It's their credit, they got a great win on us. We just have to make sure we do diligence. Do our homework this time."
Brady also talked about how different this game will be. He said the Patriots watched the film from the first game just to become familiar with the matchups. Other than that, it's all new.
"Scheme-wise, we do different things, they do different things," Brady said. "It's just pretty much ultimately going to come down to how we execute this game plan. That was a very different game plan than we're going to have this time. We have to put our work in. We had a pretty significant walkthrough today. We got off to a good start. We're familiar with them, obviously playing them as often as we do. We know the personnel, we know some of the schemes, but ultimately it's going to be how familiar we get with them and how well we prepare."

the final horn to Friday's field hockey contest against Vermont sounded, the
Minutewomen cleared the field with a 10-1 blowout victory over the visiting
Catamounts. Nicole Cordero, Kim Young and Thando Zono totaled multi-goal performances against Vermont, with Zono adding a pair of a assists to lead the game with six points. Molly MacDonnell, Brooke Sabia, Alexa Sikalis and Renee Suter each added one goal during play. In addition to Zono, Hannah Prince, Sikalis and Callie Sweigart each recorded a pair of assists while Marisa Dunn, Kate Heineman and Noralie Weisthuis chipped in an assist each.
The show of offensive force by UMass is rarely seen at the
collegiate level and had only occurred in the history of the program on a few
occasions. Here is a look at how rare the feat of totaling double-digit goals
is in the history of the illustrious program...
- Previously, the UMass Minutewomen field hockey program has recorded 10 or more goals in only two contests in the 38 years the program has existed. Once on Oct. 25, 1979 against Smith College (11-1 victory) and again on Oct. 25, 2009 at Saint Louis (10-1 victory).
- After a 30-year span of not recording double-digit goals (1979-2009; 650 games), the Minutewomen went only 53 contests since routing Saint Louis in 2009 before matching the feat against Vermont.
- Since the 11-1 win over Smith College pre-dates the modern collegiate athletics era, the 10-goal outing against Vermont ranks as only the second such double-digit goal effort against a NCAA Division-I opponent.
- In all of Division-I field hockey this season there have only been seven games where a team has scored more than 10 goals, with UMass' performance against Vermont tying for the second-most this season behind Virginia's 14-goal outing vs. Towson.
- In tandem with the number of goals scored, UMass recorded a tie for the second-most points notched in a single game with the win over Vermont. The 31 points by the Minutewomen has been equaled this year on four occasions across Division-I, while only being eclipsed once (Virginia vs. Towson).
The Minutewomen return to action at Garber Field with a 2 p.m. contest against the University of Maine on Sunday, Sept. 30. Admission to all home field hockey contests is free.

All local residents interested in the future of the Trimble County School District and local students, present and future, are encouraged to attend tonight's public hearing and give input regarding a District Facility Plan for the school district, which has been proposed by the Local Planning Committee. The public hearing will be held at the Bedford Elementary School at 7:00 p.m.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Eighty-six students from The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky, including Trimble resident Jenna Rowlett, are involved in some form of summer learning and features travel and study abroad opportunities for 54 Gatton Academy students.
The Gatton Academy is once again partnering with Harlaxton College in Grantham, England, to offer a study abroad course. Jenna Rowlett of Bedford, a member of the Class of 2017, will study Honors: Introduction to Literature with Professor Walker Rutledge of the WKU Department of English.
FRANKFORT—Stacked inside warehouses around Kentucky are millions of bourbon barrels. The name of the distillery stamped on the casks differs from warehouse to warehouse, as does the aging whiskey inside.
But each barrel has at least one thing in common: the type of wood it is made from.
My success rate with horticulture is hit or miss. Last year my garden deteriorated into a state of decaying, exploding chaos. I have no clue what happened. Whatever it was it was ugly. I'm positive my Dad is in Heaven shaking his head in dismay. He taught me better than that! I just managed to forget critical elements.
Many of us have fond memories of our grandfathers… the stories, the candy, the fishing lessons and life lessons we learn while visiting them are things we treasure and carry with us throughout our lives. But as family dynamics have changed, more and more grandfathers are finding the old adage of "spoil them rotten and send them home" no longer a reality. In fact, around 2.4 million grandparents across the United States are now raising their grandchildren.

According to the most recent census of agriculture, there are 6 times more farmers over 65 than under 35. Beginning farmers and ranchers represent a crucial component for the future of agriculture, but they must overcome stern challenges to get started.
Bowling Green, Ky. - Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College (SKYCTC) honored Trimble County resident Scott M. Turner among 587 graduates at the College's Commencement Ceremony, Friday, May 6, 2016. The ceremony was held at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
"We honor each of our graduates for the hard work they have put forth to achieve their educational goals. We also pay tribute to the family and friends for the great support they give to the graduates," states Dr. Phillip Neal, President of SKYCTC.
Site Selection is not a magazine most of us would keep on our coffee table, but for those in government and business who track economic development, this publication is one not to be missed.
Fortunately, it has had a lot of good things to say about Kentucky in recent years, and over the past two, it has awarded us its annual Governor's Cup for having more major job announcements than any other state on a per capita basis.

Bearden Birthday Bash Celebrates Artist and Park
Beginning Friday, Aug. 29 through Sunday, Aug. 31, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation will hold a celebration honoring the hometown artist and commemorating the one-year anniversary of the grand opening of Romare Bearden Park.
Hours for the Bearden Birthday Bash are noon to 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31. Festivities include:
Live music from some of the region's top jazz performers
An Art Walk featuring many talented Charlotte-area artists
Local food vendors
Family activities presented by Radio Disney, McDowell Nature Center and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture
And much more!
A complete schedule of events can be found at
The park was inspired by the life and work of Romare Bearden, who was born on September 2, 1911. Images from his time spent in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County were incorporated into many of the artist's collages, watercolors, oils, photomontages and prints.
Since its opening, Romare Bearden Park has become a very popular and welcome gathering spot in the heart of Charlotte. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation has presented many free cultural events in the park, including Romare Fest, the Music Box Lunch Series, the Bearden Music Series and Party in the Park, which have drawn thousands of guests. Romare Bearden Park covers 5 acres on South Church Street in Charlotte and is adjacent to the BB&T Ballpark.

Manny Pacquiao takes on all comers, really?
What's good peeps? I'm new to the scene, I enjoy seeing some of the opinions on the board so now I've decided to post myself. Let me start by saying first and foremost I'm a huge boxing fan as well as a Floyd Mayweather fan, yes u can actually be both Anyway, I think that Floyd deserves some crticism, but he takes WAY 2 much IMO, and I'm not talking about his legal issues, nobody who wasn't involved really knows what went down. I'm talking about what goes down strictly in the ring, particularly as far as oppostion.
Manny Pacquiao is a tremendous fighter, probably the best offensive fighter in the sport 2day. However, his competition since his move up to welterweight leaves a lot to be desired. Manny has fought Oscar (busted up by freaking Steve Forbes previous fight), Ricky Hatton (badly koncked out by Floyd before fighting Manny), Miguel Cotto (took savage beating by Margarito before fighting Manny), Joshua Clottey (who just lost to Cotto before fighting Manny), and now he's fighting Margarito (who just took a massive ass whoopin from Shane). Hmmmmmm.....it seems there's a pattern here. How the hell can anybody say Pacquiao has faced top competition as of late? This is an absolute joke
People bash Floyd's competition, but Manny's aint any better. Why does he continue to fight slow come forward battered fighters with limited boxing skills? Why the hell doesn't Manny just fight JMM again? I don't care what weight the fight is at, they have unfinished business, everybody knows Pacman vs. JMM 3 would be an extremely lucrative bout. If Manny can spark JMM out so quickly at the higher weights he should just prove it. At least Floyd manned up and proved he could beat Castillo decisively. There are other legit fights out there for Manny such as Berto, the winner of Alexnder vs. Bradley, the winner of Martinez vs Williams, hell even Amir Khan (if he gets past Maidana). I'm sick and tired of Manny being praised for fighting fighters coming off SEVERE ass whoppins. Manny should stop hiding behind Roach and Arum and fight some legitimate competition, whether he fights Floyd or not. Now he's prolly gonna fight Mosley next or Cotto Why do so many of u choose to ignore the facts and heap all this praise on Manny? This is a legitimate question that I want legitimate answers to........

This Friday, the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) is opening their vaults of their museum holdings, to showcase the very best in California landscape art in their first museum of 2014 titled Inspiration Points: Masterpieces of California.
OMCA will be displaying works from artists best known for creating landscapes that offers a representation of California, or simply capture a part of the state in a moment of time. These artists include Ansel Adams, Thomas Hill, David Hockney, Arthur Mathews, Richard Misrach, Albert Bierstadt, Imogen Cunningham, Eadweard Muybridge, Edward Wetson, and Chiura Obata. Inspiration Points will feature approximately sixty of OMCA's best landscape paintings, photographs, and works, some of which are of majestic scenes, some of wilderness of exploited lands and visions, but all showcasing the artist's interpretation of California's landscape, shedding new light on what is now considered to be timeless favorites.
Some of the works featured in the exhibition include Richard Misrach's capture of the devastation of the 1991 Oakland-Berkeley fire, Thomas Hill's San Francisco Coast depicting canvas Land's End, and Eadweard Muybridge's 19th-century print Falls of the Yosemite from Glacier Rock.
Inspiration Points is the first special exhibition to be featured in the newly transformed Gallery of California Natural Sciences, and will be on view until July 13th.

Hello Ashlann & Father,
Although i feel a bit awkward bumping up this original episode of the TOG podcast. (where no one has posted feedback on this episode) Since i'm playing (no pun intended) catch up listening to all these podcasts.
I enjoyed the intriguing observations of the show. Like when Father stated that the games industry is placing more resources into console games than PC's. Or the wide open potential of Historic based RPG's. That the games industry has only dabbled indirectly with at this point in time.
It was also refreshing hearing about other games i don't usually play. But are nonetheless interesting to hear they're features in regards to pro's & cons.
Now i'm onto episode 2.
Keep up the good work.

I've just got an iPhone and I'm new to these Podcast things. I've downloaded them all and when time permits I'll check out each one
Ashlann, you mentioned you really enjoyed playing Left 4 Dead for 3-4 hours then were uncertain of what more the game could offer. Both yourself and Stef touched on Achievemnts in various games. L4D achievement are unlike achievements in many other games. Each one does not give you progression onto another or provide you with anything extra. What they do is provide you with a large variety of ways to play. Some simply add some fun to a game or two while others alter gameplay if you and your team are going for certain ones. Check out the full list and you'll see what I mean - link.
Stef said that Consoles "just work". I must say that I'm a PC only gamer (so far) but if I had kids wanting to game I really do see the attraction of consoles for this "just work" reason. No drivers, nothing for the kids to corrupt, etc etc
Ashlann, you mentioned while discussing Assassin's Creed that sound is important to you for immersion. I TOTALLY AGREE! In my opion this is so much more important the even graphics
Fallout 3... both you guys have me very interested in this game now. Added to my list.
The FPS game The Hunter was discussed. This one is also on my list. A thread in the Public FPS forum was started a while back. If anyone has played this game I'd love to hear more about it - here.
Stef, I've just watched the Star Wars: The Old Republic Deceived Cinematic Trailer. I'm assuming that's the one you said was impressive. I agree, yes it is
Thanks for an enjoyable Podcast!

HTC Radar 4G to bring Windows Phone Mango to T-Mobile USA
Until now, AT&T is the only US mobile carrier to have announced Windows Phone Mango devices (the Samsung Focus S, Focus Shift, and HTC Titan). However, T-Mobile will have at least one Mango handset, too, and that's the HTC Radar.
According to the leaked images seen below, T-Mobile's Radar will be called Radar 4G, since it comes with support for the carrier's HSPA+ network. Other than that, the Radar 4G features a 3.7 inch WVGA display, Wi-Fi, GPS, Netflix, 1GHz single-core processor, 5MP rear, camera, VGA front-facing camera, and 8GB of on-board memory (about 6GB user available).
There's no word on when T-Mobile will launch the HTC Radar 4G, and neither for what price (although $100 on contract sounds just about right).

DeKALB, Ill. - Comcast SportsNet Chicago will not rebroadcast Saturday night's Northern Illinois-Bowling Green volleyball match as originally scheduled, the station announced Sunday. Technical difficulties are being cited as the main reason for the cancellation. The Oct. 31 match against Western Michigan is still scheduled to be shown by CSN Chicago. Following Saturday night's loss to BGSU, the Huskies return to action Friday, when they host Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. inside Victor E. Court.

We have a a server with a PERC 6/i controller. There is currently a single virtual disk on that controller, it's a RAID 5 disk with 4 physical drives. We'd like to add 3 drives to the virtual disk and convert it to RAID 6, but aren't sure if we can do that without data loss.
The Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager will allow us to make this change using the reconstruction wizard, but it does not indicate if the reconstruction will be destructive...it does 'strongly reccomend' backing up data.
One additional note, the server boots off a drive that is on this virtual disk if that makes a difference.
Thanks, jon

Yearly DVD of NG Magazine
By Boulder Rose
from Boulder, CO
This is a great way to have and enjoy the magazine. The print copies are nice but I don't have room to keep them. I have the complete DVD set from 1888 and I add to it every year as the new DVD's come out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The latest update to a superb product
By Bob
from Phoenix, AZ
This was an update to the original set. I purchased it for a friend of mine who is a high school educator teaching history. As we all know, schools everywhere are cash strapped. This was a most welcome classroom tool and is used almost daily. Please let me know when the 2011 update becomes available.

Good update, difficult to install
By Asterix
from Michigan
It's a good product (idea) worth buying and adding to your collection, but software quality is bad and not at all user friendly when it comes to integrating with older edition and copying them to a hard drive. Still figuring it out!

Another Quality upgrade
By BW
from Cedar Rapids, IA
I received the 2008 Complete National Geographic DVD set as a gift. This 2010 content upgrade DVD was just as easy to install and enjoy as the 2009 upgrade. I was able to access magazine articles in a few short minutes. Looking forward to the 2011 upgrade DVD.
My faith is restored... FANTASTIC! produ
By D. Landon Felix
from Pittsburgh, PA
I purchased the CNG back in 2009 and later purchased the updates with the 2009 and 2010 issues. I had some difficultly getting the the 2010 issues to show up in the CNG front-end after downloading, but tech support helped me out. It took about three emails and 48-hours, but everything is running smoothly. As long as I can keep adding new subscription years, this is going to be a great product that I will constantly refer back to for both business (I travel a lot) and pleasure (sometimes I get to enjoy the travel).
(1 of 2 customers found this review helpful)
Not Impressed
I purchased the 2008 version of the CNG. While I'm able to download and view the updates for the 2009 subscription year, I cannot view the downloaded (and purchased!) updates for the 2010 subscription year. I hope NatGeo isn't going to completely rewrite the software every couple of years so that I have to periodically repurchased the entire program, but I believe that is what's happening.
From National Geographic:We will publish updated programs every few years, but will offer updates to the older programs so you can keep your version current up-to-date; no need to purchase a new version when available. Both the 2009 and 2010 updates are currently available, but they are separate programs.

"Big Bad Wolves" will begin playing in Houston at the Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park location starting Friday, January 31.
In "Big Bad Wolves," a sadistic killer is on the loose who targets young girls. As if violating and torturing the girls before killing them wasn't enough, this twisted individual likes to decapitate his victims; sometimes while they're still awake and conscious and prefers to use a rusty saw. Israeli police officer Mickey (Lior Ashkenazi) is put on the case, but likes to do whatever it takes to get what he's looking for even if that means doing something that's frowned upon by the commissioner Tsvika (Dvir Benedek). After questioning a teacher named Dror (Rotem Keinan) and beating him senseless, a Youtube video of the incident goes viral and Mickey is stripped of his duties. But Mickey is convinced Dror is still the prime suspect and pursues his one lead as a civilian with nothing to lose. Meanwhile, Gidi (Tzahi Grad) is the man whose daughter was the most recent victim in this heinous string of murders and is making his own preparations for how he'll cope with the loss of his daughter.
This Israeli thriller begins with a game of hide and seek portrayed in slow-motion and played by what looks like three teenagers (two girls and one boy) in a broken down and abandoned house. One of the girls goes missing and only a red shoe is found in her hiding place as the title of the film is seen on the roof as the camera pans out. You're introduced to the incredible score of the film early on and it seems to be boasting in a way in how triumphant it sounds. After the first five minutes of the film, the music backs off yet is always lurking in the background and tapping at the window. It's as if the music of "Big Bad Wolves" is always huffing and puffing and pounding to be let in.
While the film is extremely dark, as you can probably imagine, there's also a lot of black comedy thrown in to lighten things up a little. When Tsvika first calls Mickey into his office, it's bring your kid to work day and Tsvika's son is sitting there while Tsvika scolds Mickey parroting everything he says. Doval'e Glickman portrays Yoram, Gidi's father, and the back and forth conversations Glickman and Grad have between each other at the most inopportune moments are fairly amusing. There's a scene where Yoram and Gidi are upstairs in the kitchen eating soup. The scene is very calm and serene. The two of them are talking about how wonderful Gidi's mother's cooking is. But what's taking place below them is much more hectic and grim. Then there's the scene where a man is interested in buying a house and has the real estate agent scream at the top of her lungs while he's walking around upstairs. There's this very lighthearted twist at times that makes something very dark extremely easy to digest and enjoy.
"Big Bad Wolves" is a thriller that keeps you guessing. The viewer is left contemplating whether Dror is guilty of these crimes or an innocent man and when you think your mind is made up the film makes your brain shift in the opposite direction. The cinematography is very simple and yet beautiful. Something straightforward like an actor sitting on a bench is shown completely blurry at first, but slowly comes into focus as the camera crawls up on the actor. The inside of the house where nearly half of the film takes place has these glorious mahogany walls and floors that seem to shine whenever they're showcased and the long, narrow corridor that leads to the room where a man is looking for retribution makes you tense and gives you the shivers.
There are very light shades of Thomas Vinterberg's "The Hunt" in "Big Bad Wolves" and while the content is incredibly horrific and gruesome not much of it is shown on screen. The film knows when to pull back and seems to know that less is more in that sense. It's very similar to the original "The Human Centipede" film in the sense that while disgusting situations are discussed quite thoroughly, you typically don't see most of it. You're shown enough to get the point across.
While "Big Bad Wolves" will likely be slandered by some for its grotesque nature, there's much more to the thriller than that since you feel like you're right along with these police officers trying to unravel the mystery and enjoying the carefree demeanor of most of these characters even when their career is on the line or when possibly facing unbearable torture. "Big Bad Wolves" may not be "the best film of the year" like certain directors are claiming, but it is a well-executed thriller that leads its audience down unsuspected winding dirt roads filled with painful uncertainty and a foreseeable yet inevitable amount of suffering.

Secrets of Success
From High to Low... and calorie counting went out the window!
Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Ugh, I feel awful! I ate way too much, made far too many bad choices, and this is the result:
Totals: 2079 261 80 77
Today I started off pretty good. I felt awful last night, I went to bed a 730pm. When I woke, not long before noon, I ate a hard boiled egg & a del monte fruit cup. Not bad at all. Then I was told to check my husbands email, he should be getting the official hiring letter from the job he is trying for. I checked it, there it was, I was sooo excited, then I opened it.
"Unfortunately, you have not been chosen to move forward in the selection process.However, your resume and/or candidate profile information will be maintained in our active files. Please remember to keep your candidate profile unlocked as our recruiting team continuously searches our database to identify candidates with specific qualifications."
Heartbroken, I thought we finally got a break in life, I thought something was actually going to go right! I was wrong, again. He called his friend who works for the company, he had just talked to his boss, who had told him to tell Rich to check his email. He doesn't know what happens, but swears it must be a mistake. I really hope so. I really do.
So, went looking for something to eat, not even realizing that it hadn't been very long since I had ate the egg & fruit. I found some ham & cheese hot pockets in the freezer, ate them without even reading the calories. Then my mom asked me to take her to Waynesburg to see her parents. On our way she wanted McDonalds, had 2 cheeseburgers plain, a medium fry, and a medium root beer! While eating it I said to myself "Stop, you don't need this, and you aren't even hungry." Then I took another bite. I finished it all. Stopped to see my aunt who works at the dollar store, bought a box of nerds, ate about 2 servings of those. Got home, and ate a blue bunny black cherry chocolate bar thingy...
I sat at the computer & forced myself to do the calorie count. I guess it could have been worse, but that number on the fat was aweful!
Now I am trying to watch some inspirational videos, listen to some music, and talking to God to try & lift my spirits so I can move on from this.
Thanks for reading, I just needed to put it all out there.

Ugh, numbers went up even more. I just mindlessly ate some mac n cheese as I was making it for my husband, who wanted it so desperately, and after the day he had I couldn't tell him no. And he knew I was having a bad day, so he brought me a cup of hot chocolate, unfortunately it was a double lol... I drank it & I'm going to start again tomorrow.

Bansuisou Villa (Ehime Kenritsu Bijutsukan Bunkan Kyodo Bijutsukan)
Bansuisou Villa is sited on the side of the mountain Shiro-yama, a short distance from the busy heart of the city of Matsuyama. The building was originally constructed in 1922 as a villa by Sadakoto Hisamatsu, the son of the lord of the Matsuyama clan that governed this region until some 130 years ago. Hisamatsu lived in France for many years as a military attache, and the building is constructed in a purely French architectural style. Opened in 1979 as an art museum, it displays mainly works by artists from Aichi Prefecture. The exhibition room on the second floor features a permanent exhibit of work by Heihachiro Fukuda, regarded as a master of modern Nihonga.
Address: 3-3-7 Ichiban-cho, Matsuyama-shi, Ehime

Sport UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 is a very good, in-part zinc oxide sunscreen for normal to very dry skin not prone to blemishes. The fragrance-free formula contains antioxidant vitamins that have proven to be positive additions to sunscreens. It is water-resistant, not waterproof, because no sunscreen is 100% impervious to water (which is why reapplying after sweating or swimming is mandatory). As specified, it would be a good sunscreen choice for active people, though it's not an "apply once and forget about it" prospect!

Comments about SkinCeuticals Sport UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50:
Depended on this for years and loved it but sadly, discontinued.

Super Sun Protection
Have used this for many years and it works for my sensitive skin when so many other sunscreens have been irritating. Slight sheen initially upon application. More expensive than some but worth it.
For people with active lifestyles, this true broad-spectrum sunscreen is waterproof and sweatproof to deliver maximum protection during high-energy activities. Sport UV Defense contains transparent zinc oxide as well as other active sunscreens to help protect against damaging UVA rays proven to cause premature signs of aging. All sunscreen ingredients are encapsulated in dimethicone to provide increased SPF with fewer chemicals, reducing the chances of irritation.
Active: Octyl Methoxycinnamet (7.5%), Zinc Oxide (4.5%), Octyl Salicylate (4.0%), Benzophenone (4.0%) Other: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Isopropyl Myristate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Octyl Palmitate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Magnesium Sulphate, Propylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Beeswax, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Dimethicone
SkinCeuticals At-A-Glance
Strengths: Great line to shop if you're looking for well-formulated vitamin C and retinol products; some outstanding sunscreens (including for sensitive skin), and every one provides sufficient UVA protection; one effective AHA product; good self-tanner; several fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: Mostly problematic cleansers and toners; fruit and sugar extracts trying to substitute for AHA products when the real deal is much better; ineffective BHA products; jar packaging.
With a strong presence in the professional (meaning spa and aesthetics) skin-care market, SkinCeuticals has a mostly well-deserved reputation for producing serious-minded, research-driven products, several of which are centered on L-ascorbic acid. Company founder Dr. Sheldon Pinnell began the line after a falling out with the folks behind Cellex-C, a company for which Dr. Pinnell once served as spokesperson. The falling out had to do with both Cellex-C and Dr. Pinnell holding patents on L-ascorbic acid; Cellex-C held the patent on a formula with L-ascorbic acid (the original Cellex-C serum) while Dr. Pinnell's patent (now conspicuously absent from SkinCeuticals products) was only for the ingredient. The drama continued as, years later, the doctor who joined Pinnell to work on SkinCeuticals' vitamin C products began his own company, also selling products with vitamin C. Who needs Desperate Housewives when we have desperate doctors racing to be the authoritative word on the anti-aging properties of vitamin C?
The good news is that copious research has demonstrated that L-ascorbic acid (despite its stability issues, which, formula-wise, SkinCeuticals products do address) is a good, potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It has also been shown to provide photoprotective benefits when skin is exposed to UV light and is capable of stimulating collagen production - though don't take that to mean it is a cure for wrinkles (Sources: International Journal of Toxicology, 2005, supplement, pages 51–111; Experimental Dermatology, June 2003, pages 237–244; Dermatologic Surgery, March 2002, pages 231–236; Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics, May 1999, pages 453–461; and International Journal of Radiation Biology, June 1999, pages 747–755). Of course, other forms of vitamin C have equally impressive research, and some forms, such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, have better stability profiles (Source: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, March 1997, pages 795–801).
As we've mentioned before, vitamin C is but one of many good antioxidants, and it's not the best approach to select any one or two antioxidants and bank on them alone to provide every conceivable skin-rejuvenating benefit. Instead, go for products that offer a cocktail of antioxidants because you'll get a greater range of benefits. Plus, some antioxidants in combination have a synergistic effect that surpasses what occurs when any of the ingredients are used alone. SkinCeuticals clearly knows this, because their vitamin C products also contain the antioxidant ferulic acid, and some add vitamin E to the mix as well. Above all, remember that as multifunctional as antioxidants are, they cannot stop aging, they won't eliminate wrinkles, and they do not replace the need for daily sun protection.
L'Oreal purchased SkinCeuticals in May 2005, and, for the time being, seems to be letting them stay on their course. That's a good thing, because despite L'Oreal's considerable financial reserves and global R&D team, the skin-care products their brands produce consistently lag behind what current research indicates are state-of-the-art options. As long as they continue to let SkinCeuticals retain its stature, there are many good reasons to shop this line; however, that said, this line is far from perfect in terms of being able to assemble a complete skin-care routine. Focusing on what they do best (which is serums, sunscreens, and specialty products) will be money well spent for visible results. Those who find the SkinCeuticals price tags to be a deal-breaker need to know that despite several notable products, they're hardly the only game in town; you can find equally superior products for less money, though not all of them follow the impressive concentration protocols of SkinCeuticals.

A point $x \in X$ is a limit point of a subset S of X, if every ball $B(x;\varepsilon)$ contains infinitely many points of S. Show that x is a limit point of S iff there is a sequence {$x_{j}$} in S that converges to x, where $x_{j}\neq x$ for all j. Show that the set of limit points of S is closed
I have managed to prove the "iff-part" and tried to use that result for proving the closure, so here is my try;
Let $E$ be the set of limit points of $S$ and $x\in E$. Then there exists a sequence {$x_{n}$}$_{n=1}^{\infty}$ in $S$ with $x_{n}\neq x$ $\forall j\geq 1$ such that $x_{n}\rightarrow x$.
By the definition om limit, $\forall \varepsilon >0$ there $\exists N>0$ such that $d(x_{n},x)< \varepsilon$ whenever $n\geq N$
clearly $x_{n} \in B(x;\varepsilon)$ and $x_{n} \in E$ , $\forall n\geq N$, hence $x_{n} \in B(x;\varepsilon)\hat E$ , $\forall n\geq N$.
My first thougt is that i've only proved that $E \subset \bar{E}$, which is trivial. I'm i right? Please give me some feedback on this one!

Don't believe all you see on tv-that is probably a posher one-it wont suck up the dirt -this machine does.
Did all the watering last night-the forecast for Saturday shows a big drop in temperature back to 19C
Dinner-already-roast chicken?
Oh Kate-you have so much to learn-the steam cleaner does floors-it will "freshen" a rug but not clean it-got a supersonic thing to do that -(that would be me) (and a machine)
I am suprised you have lived this long
Becks pallets would work but use a wood presertative -the other thing to bear in mind is how you are going to fill them remembering you are on a budget- bagged compost-top/soil does not come cheap,
I have just noticed that some of the dahlia leaves have the same pigmentation as your peppers-convinces me even more it a water-drop or weather related problem rather than a disease
My look on this is always don't panic-plants are a lot stronger than we think-they are like children they want to perform for you and most of the time grow out of it-the real nuisances are blights once they get a hold then there is not a lot you can do
If you saw it and flicked it it wasn't a mite.
Do what the PM does-chillax
I always bow to you superiors knowledge on this subject-but I would have thought leaf scorch from water droplets-the peppers look healthy enough to me
If you grow something outside not so susceptible to disease?
I think it is unlikely that you will actually see a red spider mite
Becks -you may not be seeing a red spider mite-they are miniscule and not always visible to the naked eye-usually in greenhouses-you may have been seeing red spiders- a harmless tiny spider that you usually get in the summer
Becks -if you want to grow veg in those side beds you are going to need sunshine-and without trawling back how much sun does that area get?
Railway sleepers are the classic thing for raised beds -but not light and you may need to cut them to fit
I hire out beige clothes but only only Wednesdays-so if you can go tomorrow will do you a good deal.
Am shampooing a rug-will the excitement never end??
He didn't get very far-it is a bit like quantum leap-will he ever make it home?

A woman's health and wellness needs are guaranteed to do one thing throughout life – change. A young woman has different nutritional needs than a mature, post-menopausal woman or a woman who's pregnant.
The physiological changes a woman undergoes throughout her life necessitate a different nutritional strategy at key points in life, including adolescence, young adulthood, child-bearing years, menopause, post-menopause and maturity.
Add in a complex reproductive system, a constantly changing hormonal environment, differing cognitive health needs and more, and it's easy to see why a woman has distinct and varied nutritional needs.
In this new era of healthier living, more and more women are discovering the benefits of a natural and holistic lifestyle and improving their quality of life through good nutrition and regular exercise. They're taking ownership of their health and educating themselves on the various natural products and vitamins for women available today that can help support their well-being throughout life.
At NOW we understand the unique nutritional needs of women and how they change throughout life, and we offer a targeted line of women's health supplements that support these changing needs.

Find the quirky small town
False-front buildings make Wrangell (population 2,100) look like a Wild West prop; in fact, Wyatt Earp turned down the job of sheriff here. Strong on nightlife it isn't: In Wrangell, the hardware stores have better hours than the restaurants. But the setting can't be beat—the rugged landscape explains why John Muir lingered here before he founded the Sierra Club. Give yourself three days to take in the Stikine River, fastest free-flowing river on the continent, and Anan Wildlife Observatory for prime bear-watching. (There's also Wrangell's Bearfest, held in July.) Want more quirk? Wrangell has Southeast's sole regulation golf course, with its only-in-Alaska rules: Moose play through, and a raven stealing the ball is a mulligan.
Info: wrangell.com
Where to stay & eat: Stikine Inn ($$; rooms from $134; stikineinn.com)
While you're there: A short ferry ride ($33; dot.state.ak.us) from Wrangell, Petersburg is a fishing town with a Scandinavian feel—check out the Little Norway Festival (May 17–20). The deli at the local fish-packing plant, Coastal Cold Storage ($; 907/772-4171), offers superior fish and chips. petersburg.org

Carl Froch Vs George Groves – 23rd November 2013
Froch has had one of the toughest runs of any fighter in the world of boxing over the last 2-3 years. He's acquitted himself excellently – losing only twice and managing to avenge one of those defeats to Mikkel Kessler. George Groves is a young, hungry challenger also from the UK which sets this one up to be a real domestic tear up.

With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On March 14, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the annual Discussion1 on Common Policies of Member Countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).2
An economic recovery has started in the WAEMU last year following a slowdown in growth in 2009. In 2010, economic growth is estimated to have on average returned to levels similar to those prior to the previous global food and fuel price shocks and the global financial crisis. Growth has been supported by monetary and fiscal easing, good agricultural production, recovery in the region's main trading partners, and a pick-up in Guinea-Bissau and Togo.
In 2010, average inflation remained low in all WAEMU countries, but edged up in the second half of the year. On average, annual consumer price inflation reached 1.4 percent, up from 0.4 percent in 2009. More recently, however, higher international oil and food prices have started to feed through to inflation, but core inflation has remained subdued.
After a moderate fiscal easing by about 1½ percentage points of GDP in 2009, mostly the result of higher capital spending, the area-wide average deficit is estimated to have declined slightly to 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010. Revenues have started to recover, while government expenditure has stabilized.
Following a compression of imports in 2009, the region's external current account deficit is estimated to have reached about 5½ percent of GDP in 2010. In months of imports of goods and services, international reserves were comfortable at well above 6 months in 2009 and 2010, in part due to the SDR allocation made by the IMF to all member countries in 2009.
Political stability in the region is a precondition for the recovery to continue. With a rapid and peaceful solution in Côte d'Ivoire and the right policies, the region could still experience a continuation of the recovery to close to 4½ percent in 2011, and above 5 percent in the medium term, but regional growth will continue to lag the Sub-Saharan Africa average. With recently rising international food and fuel prices, inflation is projected to edge up.
There are considerable risks to the projected recovery. In particular, the political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire has intensified in recent weeks with significant adverse fallout for domestic financial and economic activity. If not resolved soon, this could also have severe human and financial cost for neighboring countries in the WAEMU and the region, including though trade, migration, and financial sector channels. A more sluggish global economy could slow the regional recovery by dampening exports, remittances, and capital inflows. In turn, this could put pressure on the current account and on the quality of the loan portfolios of banks, and reduce the amounts available for the financing of fiscal deficits. A persistent rise in international food and fuel prices poses inflationary risks, which should be monitored carefully.
Executive Board Assessment
While an economic recovery is underway, Executive Directors expressed deep concern that the ongoing political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire poses serious risks—in particular, through trade and financial sector linkages—and that the spillovers for the region could be severe should the crisis persist. In addition, rising food and fuel prices could risk inflationary pressures, with an adverse impact on poverty. In this context, Directors emphasized the importance of an increased focus on contingency planning and crisis management to limit the impact of the crisis, and underscored the need to closely monitor the economic and financial situation in WAEMU member countries.
Directors considered that fiscal policy should balance support for growth, including large investment needs, with debt sustainability. They emphasized the need to create fiscal space for priority spending—including for infrastructure investment—through broad-based tax and administration reforms, better quality expenditures, and control on recurrent spending. Directors recognized the potential impact of rising food and fuel prices on the poorest segment of the population and underscored that any transfers or subsidies should be carefully targeted to protect the most vulnerable. Directors also called for timely implementation of the WAEMU directives in public financial management.
Directors urged the authorities to be vigilant to upside inflation pressures from higher international food and fuel prices and possible spillovers from the crisis in Côte d'Ivoire. They welcomed the new institutional framework for monetary policy, including the newly established Monetary Policy Committee. To make the framework effective, Directors recommended improving analytical underpinnings, transparency, and communication.
Directors noted the staff's assessment that the real effective exchange rate appears broadly in line with economic fundamentals. However, the recent large movements in the euro exchange rate have resulted in greater volatility of the WAEMU's real effective exchange rate. Directors emphasized that it will be critical to make further efforts in supply-side reforms, including reducing infrastructure bottlenecks and improving the business climate and governance.
Directors stressed that restoring the functioning of the Banking Commission is critical to ensure effective supervision and minimize the spillover risk from Côte d'Ivoire. They encouraged the authorities to accelerate the follow-up work on the Financial Sector Assessment Program recommendations, and emphasized the importance of comprehensive and up-to-date banking data and vulnerability indicators to ensure timely assessments of financial stability. Directors also called for further reforms to broaden and deepen financial market development.
The views expressed by Executive Directors today will form part of the Article IV consultation discussions on individual members of the WAEMU that take place until the next Board discussion of WAEMU common policies.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet believe employers added 195,000 jobs last month, which would lower the March jobless rate to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent in February.
Other economists say even more jobs were probably added last month.
