Resolve to Save More of Your Money in 2013

(StatePoint) Two of the most commonly made and commonly broken New Year's resolutions are saving money and paying off debt. These are promises we all seem to make to ourselves every year with every intention of seeing through. But somehow, we wind up in the same spot we were before.
So how can you make sure that 2013 is the year you take control of your finances and start making your money work for you?
• Figure out what your objectives are -- be it paying off debt, buying a first home, or saving for vacation. Identifying your goals can help you stay motivated. Consider placing a visual reminder somewhere you'll see all the time, like the refrigerator.
• Many people have no idea how much money they spend monthly. Creating a spending plan is vital if you want to make your money do for you what you want it to. If you share your finances with someone else, make sure he or she is part of this process as well.
• Many financial services companies offer free tools to help you easily see what you've been spending and ways you can save. For example, the non-profit Family Credit Management offers spending plans, savings guides and a comprehensive personal financial goals workbook that help you to lay out a strong plan in an easy way. Visit www.FamilyCredit.org to see these and other financial tools.
• Make the small changes that add up to big savings. Most people have small expenses that they can live without. Maybe for you it's a coffee every morning on your way to work. If you do this every weekday, that adds up to $1,300 per year! If that's important to you, then fine. But if it's not worth the annual amount you're spending, cut the cost.
The idea is not to strip the fun from your life, but to save money on things that you really don't care about. For more areas to save in your daily life, visit www.StopThinkSave.org.
• Involve your whole family. Many parents feel the need to shelter kids from financial strain, but budgeting is an invaluable life lesson that you can teach them by including them in the process.
• Ask for help! If you feel you could use some guidance, reach out to a certified credit counselor who is licensed by your state's banking department and has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Visit www.FamilyCredit.org to find a certified counselor.
• Finally, figure out what to do with your new found savings! If you're not sure where you'd like to keep or invest your money, you can visit bankrate.com and investigate high interest, low balance requirement savings accounts.
Once you've completed these steps, you are on your way! Saving money is habit forming -- when you get your monthly statement and you see money building up, you'll want to put more and more away. It's a great way to get started on a financially successful New Year.Add a comment Add a comment
International players in U.S. presidential election

L-R: Obama campaign supporters Beverly Camock of Alachua and Jakob Rukov and Kirstine Larsen of Copenhagen, Denmark awaited election results at Southern Soul Restaurant in High Springs Tuesday evening.
HIGH SPRINGS – Kirstine Larsen and Jakob Rukov of Copenhagen, Denmark, were in High Springs observing voter turnout at the Civic Center on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
However, the couple was more than just a little interested as they explained they had traveled to the United States using their own money to campaign for President Barack Obama's re-election.
Larsen, a journalism major in her final semester, and Rubkov, a molecular biologist, said they had been in Lake City previously. "They needed some help here," said Larsen, "so we came to help."
Larsen said they had been manning the High Springs Obama field office, located inside Southern Soul Restaurant, for the past few days. "We have been talking with citizens about the national campaign…sending out volunteers, going door-to-door, making phone calls and generally doing whatever needed to be done to help get the president re-elected," she said. "The response has been very good," added Rubkov. "Mostly we've spoken with people who already lean towards the Democratic Party and there has been a good atmosphere. People seem quite motivated. I think we've had a very good experience here," said Rubkov.
"It helps to say 'We are from Denmark,'" said Larsen. "Once they know we have traveled 20 hours to be here, I tell them they should wait a couple of hours in line, if they have to, to vote," she said.
Rubkov explained that U.S. politics and Danish politics are quite closely connected. "Since we have soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the U.S. makes a decision what to do over there, it impacts us as well," he said.
In addition, Larsen commented that "the U.S. is a major player internationally. "Who is the president of the United States…it sort of sets the tone for international politics in general. It's very important," she said.Add a comment Add a comment
Gazebo Pocket Park finally slated for completion

HIGH SPRINGS – The High Springs City Commission gave a unanimous nod to Interim City Manager Lee Vincent to sign an agreement with Chen Moore & Associates for completion of the gazebo landscaping project along Railroad Avenue.
The decision followed a report by Vincent at the Thursday, Nov. 8, city commission meeting in which he said he had been in touch with USDA Rural Development, the funding source for the project, and verified that funds were still available to complete the project.
Lighting and an irrigation system are to be installed as part of the landscaping.
Mayor Dean Davis, who had referenced that the parking lines were faded in previous meetings, said he hoped there was enough money left over to be able to stripe the parking area as well. As that was not originally part of the project funding, it is unclear whether USDA would allow the money to be used for that task.
The project, which began in 2009, was originally approved at $250,000. Sources at the City indicate a little more than $100,000 remains to finish the project. The project also received a $5,000 grant from Capital City Bank and a $1,000 grant from Wal-Mart.

High Springs sewer decisions pushed to Nov. 8 meeting

HIGH SPRINGS – Agenda items relating to water and sewer rates and the future of the sewer system in High Springs, which were listed on last Thursday, Oct. 25, regular commission meeting agenda, were postponed to Tuesday, Oct. 30.
In a sparsely attended commission meeting to discuss the future of the sewer expansion, Greg Lang, Vice President of Community Development for Mittauer & Associates, Inc., was on hand to answer questions regarding the possible expansion of the wastewater plant and to discuss updating the city's water and sewer rates.
Lang told commissioners he did not think at this time that it was necessary to move ahead with Phase 4, but suggested the City monitor the situation to determine when future expansion would be needed.
After discussion about whether to send a letter to USDA Rural Development stating the City was not going ahead with Phase 4, commissioners decided to hold off to allow time for City Attorney Scott Walker to look into the developers' agreements. A report from Walker on this issue will be forthcoming and the decision to send the letter was put off until the Nov. 8 meeting.
Following concerns expressed by Commissioner Sue Weller as to whether the City would still be able to meet the capacity guaranteed in the developers' agreements, and whether developers might have some recourse if the City does not move forward with Phase 4 at this time, Walker said he would review the developers' agreements for those issues as well.
Lang also suggested a geological study be performed to address concerns about a sinkhole, but no action was taken on that issue during this meeting.
Lang also explained they would be ready to go out to bid shortly on the "Tweener's" project. "Tweeners" is a term coined to identify the approximately 70 homes that were built after the sewer installation cutoff date for the grant.
The remaining grant money will be used to hook up those homes. Interim City Manager Lee Vincent will be working with Tim Norman, P.E., at Mittauer to get information to him so Mittauer can go out to bid.
Water and sewer rates were discussed briefly and will be addressed further at the Nov. 8 meeting. The commission would like to have an updated study done by Florida Rural Water Association (FRWA). Bill Secoy of FRWA conducted the last study completed in March 2011.
Mittauer's engineers will reexamine some of the studies by FRWA and offer their opinion on their studies and recommend what, if anything, should be done.
A resolution about water conservation was discussed, but also received no action during this meeting.

On my main site, Social has a tendency to throw a 500 error when I click on "Broadcast" from within the post editor. Also the Facebook connect from the profile page will not connect at all... and the one from the settings page will disconnect immediately after you broadcast. The plugin has some issues but I can't pinpoint where they are coming from. However, once I can get it to broadcast to twitter, it pulls in the tweets very nicely. (WP 3.2.1, TwentyEleven Theme) This blog was running commentluv and is now running commentluv premium (which does have some minor conflicts with Social)
On my beta site (WP 3.2.1, Thesis 1.8.2 Theme), the plugin activates fine, but when trying to pretend to be a visitor and connect via twitter or FB throws two warnings on a otherwise white screen:

To The Editor: Ive been gone for years serving my country and I recently came home for a visit to find out that our Gov. Mike Easley has no idea how to run the office.
All the money that is supposed to be used on our roads is not and to cover the money he blew away, probably on himself, he is trying to get our state citizens to pay a tax on our water wells and if we go over so many miles a year on our vehicles. Thats what I call a thief in disguise.
Now, as far as Hendersonville is concerned, our people who have been chosen to make decisions and laws for us should be fired right away. We have schools that are being built and now theres no money for them so, guess what, taxpayers, it is coming out of our pockets because that money probably went to pay illegal immigrants doctor bills or to build that big brand new Health Department building that you can hardly get into because the immigrants are soaking up their free benefits while us legal citizens suffer.
Its time we as citizens take back what is ours and help the vets of the country who are being mistreated!

Update of /cvsroot/sbcl/sbcl/src/pcl In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv28622/src/pcl Modified Files: ctor.lisp defs.lisp low.lisp Log Message: 0.9.4.54: Declassification of INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE. It turns out that the classes INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE, as expressed in instance-pointer-lowtag and funcallable-instance-widetag, are incompatible with the MOP's notion of classes: the types INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE are necessarily disjoint (no instance can have a widetag of anything other than instance-header-widetag), but FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT is required to be a subclass of STANDARD-OBJECT, and must therefore have the superclasses of STANDARD-OBJECT among its superclasses. If INSTANCE is one of those, FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE cannot be, so F-S-Os would not be of type FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE (which is wrong); if it is not one of those, then ordinary S-Os would not be of type INSTANCE (which is wrong). CMUCL, at the time of writing, exhibits type system confusion in this area, as demonstrated by CSR cmucl-imp 2005-09-0x). So, we need to do something else; probably most straightforward to make INSTANCE and FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE named types, as they are of the same order of specialness as e.g. T -- not quite as special, but almost. Some hacking later... ... the usual type system dance. Play whack-a-mole with test failures and compilation failures until they all go away. Primtype, class, typetran, and so on are fiddled with. ... somewhat hacky code for determining when a class is subtypep instance / funcallable-instance. ... different hard-coded constants for genesis; don't make a special instance-layout, because the instance class is gone. ... just to prove we've achieved something, make STANDARD-OBJECT a superclass of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT. (Supporting METAOBJECT should be straightforward now) ... many many new tests, both of the before-xc variety (it's amazing in how many ways I can get the type system wrong) and of the regular form. Also add some ctor tests that aren't exercised yet.

I've got about 300GB of pictures and marketing data that is rarely accessed and I'd like to get it off my main storage.
I was thinking to simply add two external USB HDDs to the server and move all the files to one of the drives. The second drive would be the backup destination for the first drive.
I'm working with Server 2003 R2 SP2.
This will help me free a good amount of space on my main storage as well as reduce the complexity, backup window, and usage of my backups to tape.
Edit: Other than your general thoughts on this idea, here are some specific questions:
- Can I backup to a USB drive in 2003 R2?
- Can I create a network share on a USB drive in 2003 R2?

Oh and this is a POST not a GET. The XML can be quite large at times I'm afraid (several megs)

NEW REPORT: Fulfilling The Promise Of Concentrated Solar Power
Full report available here.
Low-Cost Incentives Can Spur Innovation in the Solar Market
Concentrating solar power — also known as concentrated solar power, concentrated solar thermal, and CSP — is a cost-effective way to produce electricity while reducing our dependence on foreign oil, improving domestic energy-price stability, reducing carbon emissions, cleaning our air, promoting economic growth, and creating jobs. One energy expert has even touted it as the "technology that will save humanity."
The U.S. Department of Energy has created the SunShot Initiative to lead research into the technology — work that aims to increase efficiency, lower costs, and deliver more reliable performance from concentrating solar power. Additionally, high-profile U.S.-based companies such as IBM have invested in CSP research. Increasingly, private and public stakeholders believe that the technology holds the greatest potential to harness the power of the sun to meet national sustainability goals.
As the White House prepares a climate change reform agenda that embodies the bold spirit of this year's State of the Union address, in which President Barack Obama emphasized executive authority to regulate greenhouse gases, Congress has begun debating the nation's new energy future. Concentrating solar power should be a key component of this dialogue.
Some are concerned that clean technologies are too immature and unreliable to produce the vast stores of affordable baseload energy needed to power the 21st century American economy. Others are worried that the nation cannot switch to carbon-free electricity without ruining the economy. CSP technology, however, presents a compelling response to each of these concerns.
In this report we detail why the United States should invest in concentrating solar power and delineate the market and regulatory challenges to the innovation and deployment of CSP technology. We also offer the following low-cost policy solutions that can reduce risk, promote investment, and drive innovation in the CSP industry:
Reducing risk and cost of capital for clean solar energy
- Establish an independent clean energy deployment bank.
- Implement CLEAN contracts for concentrating solar power.
- Reinstate the Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program.
- Put a national price on carbon.
Streamlining regulation and tax treatment of CSP
- Reform the tax code to put capital-intensive clean technologies on equal footing with fossil fuels.
- Guarantee transmissions grid connection for concentrating solar power and other solar projects.
- Stabilize and monetize existing tax incentives.
- Streamline the regulatory approval process by creating an interagency "onestop shop" for concentrating solar power and other clean energy power-generation facilities.
- Ensure long-term regulatory transparency.
This piece is republished from the Center for American Progress. Endnotes and citations are available in the PDF version of this report.
19 Responses to NEW REPORT: Fulfilling The Promise Of Concentrated Solar Power
We've had this capability for a long time. In 1961, I designed a solar concentrator system for space power applications, using Rankine Cycle conversion. The technology was easily adaptable to ground use. I didn't pursue that application because there was no interest.
Contrary to the theme of the article, neither that technology nor any other renewable is the first priority for saving us from going over the cliff. The first priority is to eliminate ALL unnecessary uses of fossil fuel NOW, accompanied by rapid carbon recovery and low-risk (if possible) geo-engineering. That is our only hope for survival.
Here's another suggestion: Figure out a way to avoid the multiyear delays and onerous entitlement costs that whacked CSP in the Mojave. Brightsource blew $1 million per tortoise, not counting the $5k per acre for basic environmental studies. Other solar companies went broke, or decided to build in China. Meanwhile, fracking operations get waved through, without even factoring watershed damage.
The process favors fossil fuels, and must be changed.
Well, I am happy to see, finally, an article on large-scale solar, even though this synopsis provided zero specific information about the technology and its costs and potentials.
What I was not happy to see, is that once again, there was not even the slightest hint in this article by the Center for American Progress that even large-scale projects might possibly be considered outside of the for-profit free market arena.
Here they are, touting it as the "technology that will save humanity", yet the report speaks not a whit toward why this makes sense as a national or public project, but instead is chock full of complicated schema to make it attractive to corporations so they can somehow make the relatively large investments needed with hope that it could be profitable.
To hell with tax incentives and investment schemes to make this technology profitable for corporations! We have been waiting for corporations to become interested in renewable energy for three decades now, and it has not worked. And we are now at the precipice.
This is why AGW needs to be addressed by public projects. This is why a new national renewable energy utility is needed – it is in our nation's best interest to build this infrastructure, and we don't have time to wait for corporations to decide to commit.
There are some things that government does best. Can we at least talk about that yet?
Your insistence on "eliminating all unnecessary uses of fossil fuels NOW" is vacuous given that (1) you refuse to identify any specific "unnecessary" uses of fossil fuels and (2) you offer no specific plan or measures to eliminate these unidentified "unnecessary" uses and most importantly, (3) you consistently denigrate, disparage and attack the non-fossil fuel energy sources that are already at hand, that are already being deployed at large scale all over the word, and that make it possible to eliminate ALL uses of fossil fuels, including any that might currently be "necessary", very quickly.
In short, your repeated regurgitation of this vacuous bumper sticker slogan is both nonsensical and dishonest — the definitive hallmarks of a troll.
Mike Roddy wrote: "the multiyear delays and onerous entitlement costs that whacked CSP in the Mojave"
With all due respect, that's nonsense. There are already multiple utility-scale solar installations in the Mojave, and more being built, and even more approved for construction, thanks to the Obama administration's new rules that expedite the development of solar on pre-screened, less environmentally sensitive sites in and around the Mojave.
If anything has "whacked" CSP — in the Mojave and elsewhere — it has been the plummeting cost of silicon PV. For the moment, at any rate, it is simply a lot cheaper to deploy PV than to build CSP.
The map in the report showed CSP in France and Germany, yet I didn't find much in the text to endorse CSP in the Northeast US.
I yearn for a baseload supply to be put in place so as to retire the old work-horses of nuclear and coal, and even problematic versions of hydro. Wind we have, but store it we do not.
Or are the planners expecting to sell CSP baseload supply from afar via Smart Grid?
A little off topic: It looks like Egypt is rattling its sword towards Ethiopia because Ethiopia plans to build a huge hydro dam on the Nile. Apparently it's for electricity not for irrigation. Egypt is very worried about its water supply. I would think Ethiopia would be the perfect place for solar power. To advert war wouldn't it be in the world's interest to replace the potential hydro power with solar?
From what I've read of CSP, it's a fantastic technology but as we don't have a local one, (only a wind farm so far) we have decided to go PV, ME
Yes, there are "multiple" CSP projects in the Mojave- about six of them, half of them small, and totaling less than 3000 MGW. One was built in the 90's. That's a far cry from the hopes of 2009, and Salazar's fast tracking. A few thousand megawatts doesn't put much of a dent in the market. Two coal plants in Arizona, Navajo and Four Corners, are alone about 3500 mgw.
In 2009, people were talking about tens of thousands of CSP, to be built in a few years.
Be careful about throwing out a word like nonsense, Secular.
Per above comment: tens of thousands of megwatts, of course.
I don't think Mike answered the $64 billion question, can CSP come close to competing with the price of PV? I'm the first to admit that CSP is a bit more grid friendly, since there is thermal inertia -and in some cases thermal storage, which allows the production to be delayed somewhat. But what price do we pay for thermal storage?
I'm glad some is being built -and it will be great if the Gulf states, including Saudia Arabia, have plans to give it a serious go -it would be good to find out how far down the learning curve it can be brought. But you have to face it, at this point in time CSP looks like an also ran. Have you tried selling hybrid CHP plants, siting the CSP plant near industrial process heat demand? That would seem to be one niche that it ought to do well in.
Oy! Folks!
I'm really surprised to read all these comments by my sophisticated and knowledgeable "climate chat group" (as it were) — and see how little is known about CST. (I used to use "CSP," but now prefer CST, "concentrated solar thermal," to CSP, "concentrated solar power." That's because CST systems store heat in molten salts (thermal) that allows them to provide power 24/7. CSP simply means concentrated solar power, which can produce electricity in a variety of ways but not necessary store it — in other words, CSP has the same problem that PV panels have — it can't provide electricity at night.)
My own basic article on the topic is a good place to start learning about this marvelous technology: http://www.ecotecture.com/concentrated-solar-power-generates-electricity-247/
There's a 24/7 CST plant in Spain, Gemasolar, that's been in operation for about two years. Several more are being built in the Sahara to power Europe using hi-tension DC lines that can transmit electricity about 1,500 miles with about a 10% voltage drop. More important, for this discussion, a plant is being built at Crescent Dunes in Nevada and will be online in 2014.
CST has every advantage over all other forms of electrical generation, including PV solar and wind. It has, or soon will make all forms of fossil fuel and nuclear generation obsolete.
It works simply by concentrating the sun's rays on a tower (about 30 stories high) that contains pipes full of salt (saltpeter and other cheap and basically harmless substances). The salt melts, and through a heat exchanger drives a steam turbine, producing electricity. But the salt retains much more heat than is needed to drive the turbine, and the hot salt is stored in tanks to be reused at night. Voila — safe, pollution free (unlike PV solar), limitless.
In the desert there are few if any cloudy days, and enough sunlight strikes America's deserts to power the entire continent hundreds of times over. Enough strikes the world's deserts to power all of human civilization six thousand times over.
So we've got the technology. We simply need to deploy it. Please google Gemasolar, Desertec and Crescent Dunes to learn more.
You've got a point, Omega, and it looks like PV is winning out in the solar marketplace. Problem is, PV at utility scale hasn't gained much market share either. Reasons include behind the scenes sabotage by solar opponents and easily manipulated "environmentalists".
The moral, intellectual and spiritual corruption in societies totally dominated by the Right is open-ended. Of course, there will be an end to it, an unpleasant and imminent one.
Give it up; nobody's buying your unfounded assertions anymore. All you have left is invective; the quiver is, and always has been, empty!
A nice advantage of CSP is that it captures heat and emits electricity. The electricity often emits heat as it is used. It seems to have a heat balance and it does the thing that most thought is about, providing that electrical work.
"So we've got the technology. We simply need to deploy it."
Having read your linked essay, I am drawing my own conclusions to my earlier questions.
The Mohave Desert is about 2500 miles from the Northeast. Given your comment that power can be transmitted 1500 miles at 10% loss, that's like 'gold in them thar hills' – a reality of sorts, that comes with a dismaying amount of logistics.
The cost of improved cross-continent power lines and related dependency on non-local supply are not trivial. Many states are cash-strapped and seek energy self-sufficiency.
In New York State, proposed high transmission lines might have brought energy from Canada to the New York City metro area, but the proponents met stiff resistance. The project is on indefinite hold. Had the proponents figured out how to use the right-of-ways of existing power lines, they might have met with less resistance, but not necessarily resolved all the conflicts.
It looks like I can infer that CSP or CST haven't been taken seriously in the Northeast or someone would have mentioned it.

People in the know are accumulating this stock for what I'm not sure. It's obvious that the turn around is complete and they have now opened up all of Florida with Allstate as the 8K indicated. With the addition of approximatily 700 Allstate agents and FNHC being aloud to now write tri county I expect an explosive top line growth and earnings picture.
Not sure if management wants to go private and has a few buyers working for them or there are just some intelligent investors who understand the Florida market which is what I consider myself. But I truly believe there is a double from here if the frist and second quarters look good.

Well done
I really think the reflection you added is what makes the difference in this picture. Like a Janus face, looking into the future and into the past at the same time. Even the faint lines in the distances that might have been nothing but disturbing without the reflection support the symmetry here.

Silver (band)
- You may be looking for silver band
|Background information
|Los Angeles, California, United States
|Rock, country rock, pop rock, soft rock
|Years active
|Arista Records
Silver was an American 1970s country-rock band, best known for their 1976 pop hit "Wham Bam," written by country songwriter Rick Giles.
Members of the group included John Batdorf (formerly of Batdorf & Rodney), lead vocals and guitar; Brent Mydland (later of the Grateful Dead), keyboards and vocals; Tom Leadon (brother of the Eagles' Bernie Leadon), bass guitar and vocals; Greg Collier, guitar and vocals; and Harry Stinson, drums and percussion. Phil Hartman designed the cover art for Silver, the quintet's only album. The band's recordings were released on the Arista record label.
The single's title, "Wham Bam", was shown as "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang", and made #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1976. It is ranked as the 70th biggest hit of 1976.[1] Arista executives gave the band the song to record, after concluding that none of the other tracks on the album they produced had single potential.[citation needed] Arista head Clive Davis himself co-produced their sole album.
Chicago radio superstation WLS, which gave "Wham Bam" much airplay, ranked the song as the 80th biggest hit of 1976.[2] It peaked at number eight on their surveys of October 23 and 30, 1976.[3]
Other songs on that album included "Musician (It's Not an Easy Life)", "Memory" and "Climbing".

Is Zune Finally, Officially, For Real Dead This Time?
It's getting to be one of the more recycled rumors in tech: Microsoft is done with Zune hardware, but Zune software will live on, maybe rebranded, maybe not. This time it's Bloomberg's Dina Bass throwing her tweet into the ring, saying that we won't be seeing any more Zune hardware.
Zune Dock Proves Other MP3 Players Are Allowed Accessories, Too
It's not the first Zune dock (I believe Altec Lansing has the honor there), but this ZN90B one from iHome features an all-important alarm function and fits both Zune and Zune HD models.
Microsoft Might Lower Zune Pass Price To Keep Up With Competition
Zune HD In 64GB Capacity Coming Soon?
Wander over to Zune's website and you'll see three different capacities for the Zune HD are listed: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. There's no further info on that roomy HD, but we'll be here all day, Microsoft. [Zune Thanks, tipsters!]
Hey Microsoft, We Still Want Zune for the Mac
We've been asking for Zune on the Mac since 2006, the original release of the original Zune. In fact, it's almost a yearly thing that we keep reminding that we want Zune Plus and the other Zune features on Macs.
Rumor: Zune HD Comes in 16/32GB Sizes, Launches September 8
A tipster just dropped off a few internal Microsoft docs that point to a September 8 launch of the Zune HD. In addition to that, the tipster says it's coming in 16GB and 32GB versions. All pretty logical.
Zune Upgrade Plan Rumor Isn't as Sensational as It Sounds
Lately, wild rumors have dominated the Zune conversation. But what about the regular old player? The one that actually exists? Look! Someone's talking about it: behold the utterly believable Zune Upgrade Plan, as reported and/or theorized by ZuneScene.
Wes Moss Is the New Super Douchey Face of Microsoft's Zune
We call people douchebags all the time, but Wes Moss, the star of Microsoft's latest Zune ad has all the credentials of being a record holder. Let's look, shall we?
New Zune HD Renders Surface: Fake Fan Art or For Real?
These lack the polish and Zune-y color styling of the last leak, which leads me to believe these very well may be the work of a frothing Zune-guy-in-training. But the production levei is high.
New Zune Hardware Coming This Year
Brian Seitz of the Zune team just confirmed on his Twitter that new Zune hardware is coming this year. [Twitter]
30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once
Right, so this is a weird one: we're getting tons of reports—tons—about failing Zune 30s. Apparently, the players began freezing at about midnight last night, becoming totally unresponsive and practically useless. Update: The easy official fix here.

iHome ZN9 is the World's First Zune Alarm Clock Radio
It's pretty amazing that no one's made an alarm clock radio for the Zune yet—it's been out for a year and a half already—but iHome's stepped up to the plate. The ZN9 has dual alarms, separate weekday/weekend times, backlit LCD, and of course a Zune dock. It's similar in functionality to this other iHome alarm clock…
GameStop Squashes Its Bad Zune Habit
It was always strange seeing a video game retailer peddling MP3 players, but nevertheless GameStop has ceased selling Microsoft Zune portable media players. The breakup puts a small speedbump in Microsoft's path to wrest marketshare away from Apple's iPod line, and could slow the progress Zune made against Creative …

I just purchased an 12-cell 8800mAh battery to replace the 6-cell 4400mAh unit that came with my Compaq C700. After fitting the new battery, I'm seeing exactly the same ACPI info as I saw with my old battery:
present: yes
design capacity: 4752 mWh
last full capacity: 4752 mWh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 10800 mV
design capacity warning: 475 mWh
design capacity low: 256 mWh
cycle count: 0
capacity granularity 1: 264 mWh
capacity granularity 2: 3780 mWh
model number: Primary
serial number:
battery type: Lion
OEM info: Hewlett-Packard
Is it possible that the ACPI info is in error, or is this 12-cell battery really no more capacious than my old six-cell?
Followup: In use, the battery is performing the way I'd expect a 12-cell to perform, but it is definitely returning the wrong info to ACPI. It looks like what's happened is that the manufacturer has directly copied the data being reported by the genuine HP batteries.

Rebuilding? Yes, that's what the Colts are doing.
But after 22 regular-season wins, two playoff trips, a division title and a postseason victory in the past two seasons, they are doing it at an unbelievably accelerated pace.
Lament and gnash your teeth all you want about how the season ended, but were the Colts following the standard rebuilding paradigm, you would lament and gnash your teeth for an entirely different reason.

i just don't get it, about to pull my hair out and never had this much trouble with a layout before...
any help would be great and thanks in advance.
i just don't get it, about to pull my hair out and never had this much trouble with a layout before...
any help would be great and thanks in advance.
Try adding a
float:left; to
Slap that IE into shape!
i added that then it looked fine in ie but messed it up in firefox, flock and safari..
soory and it messed up alignment in ie still.. if any one has acces to mac and ie please help me out..
ok i got firefox, flock, safari working fine. its now just ie and i will leave the codes and css alone till i get a response.
sorry for all the post but i am now lost and need help.
thanks in advance.
Use a conditional comment: WordPress Troubleshooting: My blog looks horrible in IE!
I actually have that
in my header:
<!--[if lt IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory')?>/style_ie.css">
and the style_ie.css is:
.main_left {float:left;}
.main_cent {float:left;}
.main_right {float:left;}
.left {float:left;}
.right {float:left;}
And it looks ok in IE now, both columns, side-by-side. Only difference I see is in how FX and IE are handling that .cent_top (IE forces the 170px, FX ignores it).
Is .cent_top going to be used for something (right now it's just a 'spacer')?
just a spacer..
I have more luck using a margin (not padding) for that kind of spacing. Typically it's 'respected' in multiple browsers (if you use px, I've had problems using em).
.main_cent {
.cent_top {
Yup, that's the code there...
Yeah, i know, i added some padding to it and it is in px and not em. still can't get the dang thing to aling right.
i then took the padding back off..
Ill try n play with it some more.. I just need to get past this so i can work on the rest of the site.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) - A drug enforcement unit has seized nearly $4.3 million worth of cocaine at an El Paso house and arrested four men on possession charges.
One suspect is from Texas, while the other three are from Arizona.
Investigators say The cocaine, which weighed about 59 pounds, was being stored in the garage when members of the a so-called "stash house unit" raided the house yesterday.
Bond is $500,000 apiece for Martin Ismael Herrera of El Paso, Ricardo Alba of Phoenix, plus Eduardo Peraza and Miguel Ramon Bojorquez of Tucson.
The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area's Stash House unit is made up of members of several law enforcement agencies.

Many of us were watching the streets of our own city closely this weekend – the places where people gather for good times when the weather is warm and the sky is clear. Lately some of those places have been the settings for vivid and sudden reminders that all is not well in our city.
Flags across the state of Tennessee were at half staff Sunday, June 12, following the Sunday morning mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
And a vigil for the victims of the Orlando shooting was scheduled Sunday at 8:30 p.m. at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center in Cooper-Young.

The Beale Street Music Festival box office numbers won't be in for a bit yet. But it looks like the three-day event that ended Sunday evening with Beck and Paul Simon weathered the weather very well, maybe better than usual.
The Tennessee Legislature hoped to end its 2016 session Wednesday at the end of an eventful day that included a failed attempt to override Gov. Bill Haslam's veto of the bill that would have made the Bible the official state book.But into Wednesday evening, the state House was still debating the Hall tax on dividends – specifically further roll backs of it. And the Senate had gone home for the night.So Thursday looks like a good bet for the adjournment for the year and the formal start of the election season for incumbents.
Shelby County election commissioners meet Tuesday, April 19, to set the ballot for the Aug. 4 state and federal primaries and county general elections.
Of 99 qualifying petitions for the ballot pulled in Shelby County, some by the same citizen pondering multiple races, 65 were filed by the April 7 qualifying deadline and four of those 65 petitions had been withdrawn by the April 14 withdrawal deadline.
Three contenders in the Aug. 4 state legislative primaries in Shelby County withdrew from the races by the Thursday, April 14, withdrawal deadline including two would-be challengers of veteran Democratic state House members from Memphis.
Paul Young gets a lot more attention these days than he did when he was the first director of the city-county Office of Sustainability. The attention comes with being the city director of Housing and Community Development where virtually all of the funding comes from the federal government.That federal funding has changed the face of public housing in the city in the last 25 years. There is only one large public housing project left in the city as a result of the federal funding and its use by Young's predecessor, Robert Lipscomb.And what Lipscomb did with the job combined with being the executive director of the Memphis Housing Authority is why a lot of people want to get to know Paul Young these days.Our centerpiece story by Madeline Faber in Tuesday's edition makes clear that Young has no desire to wield that kind of power. And it is unlikely anyone in the near future will have the kind of autonomy Lipscomb did.But beyond that there is still the flow of a lot of federal dollars and Young has some ideas based on his experience in government and finance prior to coming to HCD – everything in government is initials.It's a much different experience than Lipscomb's. Lipscomb coined the phrase "ending public housing as we know it" and at times that slogan wasn't followed with a lot of detail about what came after public housing was demolished, especially with the first of the projects to fall.The last public housing project, Foote Homes, will be demolished on Young's watch which makes his tenure important if more limited than Lipscomb's tenure.
Two years after a disastrous slate of races for countywide offices, there is a move among younger Democratic partisans in Memphis to shake up the Democrats who represent the city in the Tennessee Legislature.
The Republican primary race to fill the 8th District Congressional seat Republican incumbent Stephen Fincher is giving up drew a field of 13 contenders – seven from Shelby County and four from Jackson, Tennessee – at the Thursday, April 7, noon filing deadline for the Aug. 4 ballot.
When time ran out Wednesday on the state Senate's state and local government committee in Nashville, de-annexation legislation was still on the tracks as the Tennessee Legislature draws closer to adjournment for the year.
George Howard Putt died in prison sometime last year state prison officials disclosed Wednesday -- far from the brief time he spent in Memphis but never far from the carnage he left behind in the Memphis of 1969.The bodies of the first two of the five people killed by Putt between Aug. 14 and Sept. 11, 1969 were discovered just days after the murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles by the Manson family dominated national news coverage. Less than a year earlier the Boston Strangler movie was in theaters, creating a sensation about the murders committed by serial killer Albert DeSalvo in Boston just a few years earlier.Bernalyn and Roy Dumas were strangled by Putt in their home in Cooper-Young and Putt mutilated her body in a way that police homicide detectives still wouldn't talk about decades later. The bodies were found in separate rooms.Even with no details other than the names of the victims, the city was quickly spooked by the double murder. So when the body of Leila Jackson was found short of two weeks later, the city's reaction was a palpable fear in which anyone unknown was to be avoided. Memphians didn't tarry after work. They went home and bolted the doors.It got worse as more victims turned up with little in common other than four of the five were women. They were of varying ages. Some were strangled and some were stabbed.Just about any magazine rack of the day include true crime magazines that by the late 1960s were beginning to look very dated in their lurid noir-like covers teasing the most sensational crime narratives of the day.They were an intentional contrast to the cover images of youth in bright colors in natural settings in other magazines heralding a new future and youth culture.The murders in a Southern city, whose 1969 conservatism is hard to describe nearly 50 years later, quickly grabbed the covers of the true crime magazines. And the images they offered spoke to the scenic reality where Putt roamed even as the murders continued.Apartment buildings and boarding houses were the settings for some of the murders but not all.Glenda Sue Harden was last seen walking to her car parked on the Cobblestones from the insurance office she worked at nearby. Her body was found in Martin Luther King/Riverside Park hidden under a piece of plywood.At one of the murder scenes, police found an ice pick stuck in the side of the building with a stocking tied around it.Putt's last victim, in an apartment building on Bellevue, screamed as she was stabbed repeatedly and others in the building gave chase with police close behind, arresting Putt near the new and unopened section of the interstate that runs west of Bellevue.Putt tried to force his way into another apartment nearby but the women inside kept him on the other side of the door.The killer that panicked an entire city was a skinny utterly forgettable guy in his 20s with sideburns and glasses who appeared to have rarely roamed beyond a community of neighborhood bars, boarding houses and old apartment buildings in the Midtown and Medical Center areas.It turns out he came to Memphis after walking away from a prison farm in Mississippi and into a Memphis that was slowly but surely changing. And the world that Putt encountered would soon vanish in large part.Overton Square's incarnation was about a year away. A new bridge was about to be built across the Mississippi River as part of Interstate 40 which was to go through Overton Park just south of the north-south leg of the interstate where Putt was captured.Originally sentenced to death, Putt's sentence was commuted when the U.S. Supreme Court banned the death penalty in the early 1970s.He was serving a 497-year sentence when he died at the Turney Center Wednesday in Only, Tennessee.Putt never sought parole and never gave any explanation for why he killed five people in less than a month and his apparently random selection of victims.

It's still election season in 70 percent of the city, which sounds like a weather forecast – part warning and part advisory.But the seven-day outlook calls for an increased chance of political engagement this week.

She squeals in at least three octaves as Mark Davis first finger,s then fucks her constantly twitching pussy and asshole. Lovely, golden-haired Dallas has an hourglass figure and a lewd grin, and she winces with pleasure as Sean Michaels' licorice stick overwhelms her lubricated rectum. Also a heated treat is exotic Nancy Vee, poolside under the sun, who gets her painfully-tight anus penetrated by Gerry Pike's prick. Nasty Nymphos 10 features consummate porn professionals, doing what they do best with the gusto that's made them famous.
