Investors need to see things from different angles
Are you being fiscally responsible?

I have a chart that I want to show you. It's nothing complex
or hard to understand. In fact, I take pride in how simple it is
to read.
You'll be surprised that the information shown in this chart
is the result of just under four years of work; but you'd never
know it at first glance. Most people think it took a decade to
You might also think that replicating what my chart shows
takes a fortune to pull off. I've done it with a $200,000 initial
investment. That's nothing to sneeze at, but it's far from an
extraordinary amount of money.
The results are also fully scalable. If you only have half
that amount to invest, you'll receive half of what my chart shows
-- still a considerable amount of money. If you have $400,000 at
work, just double my numbers. Anyone -- and any dollar amount --
can replicate my performance.
But the best news is that what this chart shows is the result
of a strategy you can start today. It doesn't take a Ph.D. to
follow. You don't have to track the market every day -- or every
week for that matter. The beauty of this strategy is that it
takes care of itself.
In fact, the primary investing "skill" you need is patience.
If you can allow yourself to build a portfolio without having to
constantly fuss over it, make unnecessary trades, or live and die
by daily fluctuations, you can achieve these results.
My chart below shows what I'm talking about. Listed are the
total amounts of the "paychecks" I've received over the past 13
months using my "Daily Paycheck" strategy. As you can imagine,
I've been pretty happy:
The strategy is simple. By investing in a simple blend of
high-yield, dividend-paying securities, I've succeeded in
building an income machine that pays me each and every day.
Many of my holdings pay a dividend once a month -- like
Calamos Convertible & High Income Fund (Nasdaq:
. While others -- like
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (
-- are increasing dividend payments at a fast clip.
For the past year, my "paychecks" (that's my nickname for
dividend and interest payments from my holdings) have averaged
more than $1,350 each month -- and a couple of months, the checks
have added up to more than $1,600.
Imagine if you're a retiree -- that's a nice stream of cash
from your investments to supplement any other income you might
The paychecks ramped up quickly as I rolled out the $200,000
portfolio in my
Daily Paycheck
advisory (and yes, that is real money).
But there's another step if you really want to see your income
stream accelerate over time... it's why patience is key.
It's tempting to take the cash. Who wouldn't want an extra
$1,600 per month in the bank? But I strongly recommend
reinvesting your paychecks. By using your dividends to purchase
more shares, compounding takes over. Your next payment will be
larger, even if the dividend payment doesn't increase.
I won't lie, reinvesting does take a little time to see a
major impact -- that's why patience is so important. (And before
you start, give your broker a ring to make sure they offer
reinvestment at no extra commission.)
But I think you can see from the performance so far that my
"Daily Paycheck" strategy is one of the most promising ways to
capture the most income from the market.
There is plenty more to share about my
"Daily Paycheck" strategy
... which is why the StreetAuthority research team and I have put
together a special presentation that outlines exactly how I find
investments that allow me to earn roughly $1,350 per month in
As a bonus, my team and I are introducing a new idea. We call
"Hidden High-Yielders"
because these are stocks with double-digit yields that for some
reason the media show with only 1% yields. This idea is brand-new
and the secret may not last long. To find out everything you need

Wonderful! Make it in the 13x9 pan. It bakes up nice and thick. It's a really satisfying treat!
This was good. I made it as directed, and was a tad disappointed that my cinnamon layer in the middle wasn't as full looking as the picture Rita posted, but I did two loaves so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. I also notice now that Rita has powdered sugar on top..does this mean she put the whole cinn/sugar combo in the middle layer? Hmmmm. If I make this again, I might try that. Our personal taste is for a crispier crunch from the sugar on top so I'd add less cinnamon next time. When I flipped it out of the loaf pans the cinnamon spilled off the top instead of making a sweet, crusty layer. It's a good recipe and makes a nice textured bread.
I am mad on cinnamon so this was the perfect cake for me - it made a huge cake too which is another bonus and also so easy to do so thanks Charlotte J
Well, I tagged this recipe for 123 tag... and was up really early this morning, so I thought I would make it to take to work to share. Making coffee cake at 4:00 am is not the best idea- I accidently added the sugar mixture to the whole cake. Ended up stirring it up and poured it in the pan. It was finished after about 40-45 minutes. Took it to work anyway. It tastes like regular cake, just really really sweet. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try it again, but follow the directions next time.
I made this cake yesterday for my friends and family, everyone loved it! An amazingly not too soft and not too crumbly texture, just right, and what a soft taste! Thank you for sharing this recipe :-)....next time I would add more cinnamon mixture inside to give it a bit of a bigger line through the middle when its being cut ....:)
Made this today, I had all the ingredients in the cupboard. Good, clear instructions and easy to make. My daughter arrived 10 minutes after it came out the oven and followed her nose straight to it. She has a work meeting tomorrow morning and decided it was good enough to take with her. So much commenting on the taste...I never even got a look-in. However, because of the ease making this cake, and the wonderful aroma from it, I will have another go tomorrow, in secret, and I know where my DD is...at a a meeting eating MY cake.
Very easy and oh so good! I had one slice and then the cake was gone! Thanks MIL!

You can ask your phone company if they have call waiting and if so how much it would cost you to have it added to your phone package.
But with a dial-up ISP connection I am not sure how that would work. Your dial-up modem, (whether yours is inbuilt into the computer or an external modem), might lose the connection if you have this added to your phone line subscription.
But I got this from a UK site;
"Dial up connection failures can also happen when you receive a call while you are accessing internet through your phone line. At this time the modem may drop the connection. You may avoid this issue by having a modem with call waiting feature. The call waiting feature allows a modem to stay connected to internet while an external call is received. At the same time the modem signals the user that a call has been received.
The call waiting feature can be kept enabled or disabled per your requirements. If call waiting is enabled while you are using your dial up connection then the modem connection will be interrupted when the cal is received. On other hand, if the call waiting feature is disabled then the modem will notify the user about the received call but the connection will not be terminated immediately. When you sign off and your modem hangs up the phone, Call Waiting is reactivated."
So it seems you may have to look into a specific modem that has the call-waiting feature. The site I got that from is;
http://www.free-dialup.net/free-dialup-uk-articles/best-dialup-uk.html but as it is UK I am not sure how much it will help.
I just recently heard about a product called CallWave.
1)I connect to the internet through a dial-up connection with NetZero.
I'd like a program that allows me to view what calls are coming in while in on the internet.
I don't want to pay for this program.
2)There is something on my computer called NetWaiting.
What is this?
3)What program should I use?
If what I want is not clear, I'm happy to clarify.

The lens itself is great. It has incredible range, great optical quality, and has a nice sturdy feel to it. The finish looks great too. But the huge size of the lens creates a very obvious shadow because the standard flash sits too low. This is not a problem that an $800 lens should have. If you don't want the shadow, it will cost you $63 + shipping for a flash extender. Its not so much the cost of the extender that bugs me, its the fact that Sony makes it so hard to obtain. There is no mention of it on sonystyle, no mention on the SEL18200 page, and most of the sales reps don't seem to know about it either. In fact, if another reviewer hadn't given the part # (A1787305A) and mentioned that you have to go to the seperate Parts & Accessories page, I probably wouldn't have found it, and probably would have returned the lens. If it isn't going to be included with the lens, there should at least be a direct link to purchase it from the lens product page, or it should be on the accesories page for the NEX series. Its like buying a new TV, getting it home, and then realizing the power cord is a $63 option, and you have to wait another week for it to be shipped. It makes no sense. If Sony is set on making money off of the extender, why not make the lens $850 and include it in the box? I'd rather pay more up front and get everything at once, instead of going on a wild goose chase trying to find a necessary "accessory."

Comments about Sony Silver 18-200MM F 3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens:
Nothing but problems with this lens. Its not sealed from external environmental dust. When zooming it breaths in outside air making things impossible to clean in the front lens element. Im not used to cheap kit lenses. I would classify this lens to be a Kit lens for basic starting packages.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Used this lens in Alaska. Got great shots. Unfortunately the camera itself allows one to hit format without asking if one is sure. I will be attempting to recapture pictures taken on land in Alaska. If you can help me with this problem please contact me. I will be heart sick if my pictures are permanently lost. I got some great shots
Best "Do Everything" lens
By Rick
from Alpharetta, Ga.
About Me Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Best Uses
I am a landscape photographer and own several full frame dslr's. there are times, however when I don't feel like carrying a big camera bag full of gear. This small lens is perfect for those times. One "do everything" lens and one small camera body allow me to get the job done on days when I don't feel like carrying the big gear. The optics are tack sharp and the lens is very well constructed. It's my go to lens for the NEX-7.
Service and delivery comments:
This was my first time using this vendor and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised with the entire order/shipping process. The product arrived very quickly and in perfect condition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This lens is awesome. I bought it for my FS100, and couldn't be happier. The "lens-crawl" issue everyone else has been complaining about must have been resolved, as my lens does not do move unless I move it -- even when the camera faces 90 degrees to the ground. Auto-focus is super-quick and sharp, with zero CA.

Slow Lens
By maxxx
from Boston
Took this lens on nature trip to photograph whales. The time it took to focus, if ever, was abysmally slow and amazing moments were completely lost. It's just not up to par with what is promised. Very disappointed.

It was made for the NEX 7
By jnoeljr
from Lopez Island
When I discovered that the NEX 7 lets you use digital zoom with a zoom lense, the already significant range of this thing became amazing. But even without that newly-found capability, at 200 mm and using the viewfinder and the manual focus button, some exceptional macro-like shots are possible, just as I had hoped. Using it just as a traditioanl zoom I also got a picture of a bird a quarter mile away that we had no idea as to what it was. Armed with that image we got the experts to tell us we had seen a wimbrel. Combined with the amazing NEX 7 - I have upgraded from being a totally satisfied NEX 5 user to being an ecstatic NEX 7 user - I can't think of why $899 isn't a pretty fair price. Remember, 18 - 200 is a lot of possibilities. Add the digital zoom (I know it reduces quality, but with 24mpx there is a little quality to be spared) and you have a lens that lets you rule the world.
Incredible Lens, A "Do-It-All" Wonder!
By SonyNEXwannabee
from Asheville, NC USA
Great overall lens other than a bit bulky and pricey (and it just got pricier!). Very sharp at all focal lenghts and apertures. The lens "crawl" as the lens is tilted up or down is rather aggrivating. Looks like it could have been better engineered than that. The lock only works when the lens is all the way in at 18 mm.

By JKWCA
from LA JOLLA
The review by mrbige does not do justice to this lens. Yes, it was first sold only with a video camcorder but it has great optics. The photo was shot at 200mm at iso 110 with a Nex-7 (1/500 f8). Image represents about 1/5 of original.

Released: Jun 01st, 1993
Running Time: 78
Director: C Everette Smythe
Company: Las Vegas Video
Cast: Don Fernando, Natasia, Tony Martino, Tiffany Wong, Marc Wallice, Shawnee Cates, Cheyenne (I)
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Major Slut Shawnee Cates is conducting an investigation of sexual misconduct, which requires her to spy on the recruits as they perform maneuvers. Asian inductee Tiffany Wong runs Don Fernando up the flagpole in a decent skirmish that takes place in a Victorian sitting room (the accepted barracks look for the '90's).
Tony Martino introduces Natasia to some corporal anal punishment which the camera fails to capture well. Shawnee reveals her privates to Wallice in the final segment – but the facial shot is hidden in shadows. Good thing it's "at ease week" at the Army base; it saves on those expensive costume rentals. Major Slut is a minor entry, though Shawnee looks fine on the boxcover.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 01st, 1997
Running Time: 120
Director: Robert McCallum
Company: Western Visuals Gold
Cast: Folsom Jackson, Fallon, Miguel Montoya, Seth Perkins, Gabriella Gotti, Robbie Hall, Paul Gotti, Farrah, Nikki Sinn, Missy (I), Shanna McCullough, Tony Martino, Mike Horner, Mickey G.
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
Tight Spot has all the earmarks of an R-rated potboiler: the sleazy P.I. (Martino), his sexy girlfriend (Farrah), a mysterious millionaire (Horner), his estranged but horny wife (McCullough) and the "mystery woman" (Sinn). Add in nominations-worthy cinematography in lush locales like Mazatlan and the tried-and-true San Francisco, and you've got a movie that clicks on all cylinders. Trouble is, while the sex is amazingly hot in most of the seven sex scenes, neither the script (very reminiscent of mainstream's Against All Odds) nor the actors are quite mainstream quality. Of course, that only makes Tight Spot better than 95% of the other XXX tapes on the market—not exactly the booby prize.
Best of show are both scenes with McCullough, who fucks Horner frontwards, backwards and upwards, even after sneering, "I hate you." Better still is her mish 'n' doggie encounter with Martino on a Mexican beach in the tape's finale. First runner-up, however, has to be the three-way with Missy, Fallon and Mickey G, where the gals lick each other's pussies before Mickey joins in to lay Missy as she lies across Fallon's back. A double mish and cumshot to the ass climax the scene.
In one of her first-ever roles, Farrah also shows why she's a fast-rising star. Her sensual anal scene with Martino in front of the ski lodge's fireplace gets this film off to a fine start, and her mish-and-horsie with Horner on his yacht is nearly as good. Nikki Sinn, as Horner's ex-boss, also turns in a fine sexual performance with John Decker. Look for 69, reverse cowgirl, sidesaddle and doggie-anal positions.
This is definitely a couples film, and belongs squarely in a prominent position in that section.

Monteverdi: Missa in illo tempore
Motets and concertati by Croce and Clinio
Yorkshire Baroque Soloists
Monteverdi's extraordinary Missa In Illo Tempore, based on the motet by the Flemish composer Nicolas Gombert, is a masterpiece of the six-voice polyphonic style. Published alongside his Vespers of 1610, it is less often performed, but no less indicative of the incredible flowering of music activity in and around late Renaissance Venice. The programme will also feature rarely heard motets and psalms by Giovanni Croce and Teodoro Clinio (specially edited for this concert), showcasing mastery of the Cori Spezzati style favoured by Venetian composers of the age.

Novel 'Mary Coin' based on famous Depression-era photograph
It is hard not to be drawn in by Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph called "Migrant Mother." The photo, a now ubiquitous image of struggling farm workers during the Great Depression, is startling in its honest depiction of poverty, strength and despair.
It was this picture, hanging in a gallery at New York's Museum of Modern Art, that inspired acclaimed writer and filmmaker Marisa Silver to pen her new novel, "Mary Coin." Like many other fascinated viewers before her, Silver imagines the moment that the government photographer (here called Vera Dare) approached the destitute family matriarch (Mary Coin) and asked to capture a moment of her life on film. »Read Full Article

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Nikkei average edged down in choppy trade on Wednesday, as appetites were hit by weakness in Asian shares and worries about the tepid Chinese economy after a survey showed its services sector grew at the slowest pace in nine months in June.
The benchmark Nikkei <.N225>, which had risen the four previous sessions, changed gears and dropped 0.3 percent to 14,055.56 after touching a five-week high of 14,164.77. The Topix <.TOPX> gained 0.2 percent to 1,173.81.

PHILADELPHIA – Eddie Brescher knows all too well how weather can affect a golf game.
The Hattiesburg golfer recorded a quadruple bogey in a driving rain on the next-to-last hole of last year's Mississippi Golf Association State Amateur at Grand Bear in Saucier. He lost a shot at the title by three strokes.
In Friday's second round of the 99th edition of the State Am at Dancing Rabbit, he lost two shots following a rain delay. He heads into today's third round two shots (71-68 – 139) behind the leader, Nick Beale of Pass Christian (69-68 – 137).
"I played great today," said Brescher, an assistant golf coach for Southern Miss. "I really had a good round going, then went bogey, bogey after the rain delay.
"The weather killed my momentum."
Brescher also trails three golfers in second place – high school player Braden Thornberry (68-70 – 138), the Class 6A state medalist from DeSoto Central and Clay Homan (67-71 – 138), Mississippi State's golf coach and Hayes Weathersby (72-66 – 138) of Poplarville.
Elliott's bad day
It wasn't the best day for first-round co-leader Justin Elliott. The former Southern Miss golfer bogeyed nine holes and signed an incomplete scorecard, which got him disqualified.
Beale, 27, has been in the State Am hunt before. He tied for third last year at Grand Bear, plus, he's played Dancing Rabbit enough to know what it takes to go low.
"I made a lot of birdies (seven) … after missing a lot of greens," said Beale, who swings with a cross-handed grip.
Tupelo's Hayden Buckley, who entered the second round tied with four others for fourth with a 4-under 78, shot a 1-over 73 for a two-day total of 2-under 142.
The 156-player field was cut to top 60 and ties for the final 36 holes.

It takes a big man to take it up the ass in a hetero production, particularly when said men are well-known hetero performers like Christian and Kurt Lockwood—especially when the fake dicks getting stuffed in their butts are three to four times the size of an average cock.
With that said, both Christian and Lockwood perform in genre-defining scenes for Strap On Addicts 3. In separate heated scenes, Christian gives it to and gets it from Katja Kassin and Roxy Deville. And Lockwood engages in a noteworthy b, b, g with Staci Thorn that involves a number of dynamic positions.

Art Insight: 'Never Forget' exhibit explores complexities of war
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 3:58 p.m.
Before our nation's leaders make any decisions about our possible military involvement in Syria, maybe they could see the poignant art exhibit — "Never Forget" — now at Chapman Cultural Center.
Want to go?
What: "Never Forget" exhibit
When: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. Sunday
Extra: The public reception will be 6-9 p.m. Thursday during the monthly ArtWalk, and Hill will speak about her work at 7 p.m.
"Never Forget" is a collection of 13 paintings that gently remind us that there are many layers of scars borne by those who fight our wars. This collection of oil, acrylic and mixed media paintings are by Lauren Hill, a 25-year-old woman from Greer, who has experienced the effects of war second- hand. Yet her insights into the pain, confusion, bonding, alienation and, yes, joy that result from fighting for one's country are amazing.
Safety and freedom — two concepts that converge within the men and women who offer their lives for others. The exhibit in the Artists' Guild of Spartanburg Gallery reflects the ambiguity of war.
Each of the paintings tells several stories at the same time through the use of layered images: a military funeral with a Black Hawk helicopter dividing the soldiers who are folding a casket flag, as haunting faces look on, in a rural backdrop not of this country ("Fold"). An American soldier and father clutching his child, mingled with battlefield gunfire ("Sacrifice"). Maybe one of the most disturbing paintings is "Bringing It Home." Here is the common man, stripped down to his core of existence, reproduced four times but always with the same blank stare, looking through a haze of digital camouflage.
Most of these paintings were fashioned after photographs that were loaned to Hill for inspiration. Most of them were taken during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Hill first scans the photos and manipulates them in PhotoShop to create her basic composition. This is where her computer use ends and her paintbrush takes over to create the paintings through traditional techniques. This is the artist's first professional solo exhibit.

Does anyone know how to configure the minify section of W3TC so that it doesn't cause a conflict with Gravity Forms?
When I enable Minify my form submits the enquiry but there is no confirmation message which causes the user to submit multiple times (sending me multiple emails).
If I uncheck 'Minify' the problem goes away but I really do want to use the minify function as it does boost my site speed.
Chris Hajer over on the Gravity Forms forums suggested here that I need to,
........go through the configuration to ensure that form submissions are not cached, and scripts are not minified.
But I just don't know how to do that.
Any advice would be really appreciated.

We hypothesized that Nox2, the classical phagocytic NADPH oxidase, plays an important role in calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-induced renal fibrosis. We tested this hypothesis in vitro, in animal and in human studies. Cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) were associated with greater levels of Nox2 mRNA and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in NRK52E cells. CsA increased Nox2, α-SMA and phosphorylated-p38MAPK, Smad3 and NFκB proteins. Nox2 upregulation and EMT were inhibited in TGF-β1 knockout cells suggesting that TGF-β1 is required for Nox2 activation. Fisher344 rats treated with high dose CsA showed increased Nox2 in the tubulointerstitium and greater Nox2, α-SMA, phosphorylated Smad3 and nitrotyrosine by immunoblot analyses. Inhibition of Nox2 by coadministration of apocynin or diphenyleneiodonium was associated with reduced fibrogenesis. We validated these findings by treating wild type and Nox2 null (B6.129S-CybbTm1Din/J) mice with high dose CsA. Western blot analyses confirmed the absence of Nox2 and significantly lower levels of α-SMA and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in CsA-treated knockout mice. These findings were clinically relevant since Nox2 and α-SMA were increased in the tubulointerstitium of kidneys from 15 liver transplant recipients with biopsy-confirmed chronic CsA or TAC nephrotoxicity. In conclusion, specific Nox2 inhibition strategies may improve chronic CNI nephrotoxicity in solid organ transplantation.

"Belanger's is the first study which looks at the Everglades as a whole, not just the national park, but an expansive landscape, from Lake Okeechobee down to Florida Bay, and including the Nike Missile Site, water control management systems, and voracious land development. The entire region is now a 'built' environment of highly managed parks, canals, and sugar cane and citrus agriculture. Informed by her intuition and mindful of the delicacy of atmosphere in the low, flat plain of the Everglades, Belanger's photographs deftly capture this unique and challenging environment."--Verna Posever Curtis, Curator of Photography, Library of Congress
"An exquisitely tragic portrait of one of the United States' most unique living systems. Belanger has captured both the unique beauty of the Everglades and the damage that has been visited upon those grassy waters. Her focus on the boundary between that which is outside and within the lands designated as a national park is poignantly imaged in a direct and perceptive vision."--Martha A. Strawn, author of Alligators, Prehistoric Presence in the American Landscape

On the House side, Mr. Thomas had to significantly reduce the size of the tax cut on dividends and capital gains in order to accommodate the state aid. He had said early Wednesday that the cut would extend through 2009, but Senate officials said the cut would now end a year earlier. Mr. Thomas had until recently bitterly criticized such sunset proposals as gimmicky, and he had also said he was adamantly opposed to assistance to state governments who, he said, had caused their own financial problems.
Though the size of the package was reduced, Democrats still ridiculed it as a giveaway to the rich, and predicted it would wind up increasing the budget deficit by a far larger amount than its current cost.
''In the long run, the bill will not cost $350 billion or $550 billion, but it will really cost a trillion dollars or more,'' said Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York, the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee. ''And all of it is borrowed money which increases the national debt.''
Tension between senators and representatives is expected when they try to work out differences on major legislation. House members do not grasp readily the reality that Senate rules allow even a lone senator to block legislation. And senators often cannot fathom the rigid party discipline that is the norm in the House.
But the personalities involved in the tax bill enhance the tension, especially because of the priority the president has placed on the legislation and because officials in the White House and Republicans around the country say there should be more agreement between the two sides of the Capitol when they are controlled by the same party.
Mr. Thomas has a prickly demeanor that often rankles even his allies; he also has a mastery of the tax code unrivaled in Congress. Over the years, he has developed a firm notion of what makes good tax law, and one of his precepts is that investors and business should be confident that important parts of the law will not be changed abruptly.
Mr. Grassley, among the most genial members of Congress, has said all year that he was not as concerned about the particular aspects of tax legislation this year as he was over finding a package that could get 50 votes.
To get a budget passed last month, Mr. Grassley gave his word that he would not bring a tax bill before the Senate that had a budget cost of more than $350 billion over 10 years. Few politicians put as much stock in keeping their word as does Mr. Grassley.
The agreement reached tonight would reduce the taxes on dividends and capital gains to 15 percent in most cases and then restore them to their current level in four to six years. Dividends are now taxed at the same rate as earned income, 38.6 percent for the wealthiest taxpayers. The tax on most capital gains is 20 percent.
The relatively few taxpayers in the lowest brackets who have dividends and capital gains would pay only 5 percent under the legislation and would not pay any tax on this income in 2008, after which the rate would be restored to its current level.
The tax breaks for individuals would cost slightly more than $170 billion in lost revenue, Senate officials said. The dividend and capital gains portion would cost less than $180 billion, and a provision allowing additional expensing and depreciation for small businesses would cost about $10 billion. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Grassley dropped the provision in the Senate bill that would have eliminated a tax exemption that Americans living abroad are now entitled to.

Hey all! Bike Shop tales is back after the Interbike hiatus. Here's a story about a recent anniversary...
I don't know which way it is for this one, but I do know it is kind of odd in a few ways.
I started working in a bike shop at an age when most folks either have moved on from being a "shop rat" and have either gone and done something else, gotten further into the industry, or went on to manage or own their own shops. Well, at age 33, I was just getting into it. I guess you could say that I never did anything when you might expect most folks would!
That first gig lasted only a little over three years, and then the shop folded in a bizarre way. I was left scrambling for employment, and ended up working on cars for awhile. Then I was drawn back into my current job, and as of last week, I've been there 8 years doing mechanic work.
8 years isn't a very long time in most vocations. Heck, in some jobs you are just barely getting started 8 years in. However; in a bike shop, 8 years is an eternity. Turnover at a bicycle shop happens at such a fast rate that it makes your head spin. I've seen so many employees go through the shop that I can't really remember them all, and the shop isn't all that big!
How much longer will I be there? Will I see another anniversary? In a job where longevity is as rare as a Yeti C-26, you have to start wondering things like this when you've been around in one place as long as I have.

six years for me seemed like a lifetime. a good lifetime that is. one filled with sweat soaked t shirts, hacky sack evenings, greasy hands, and lots of riding and great friends.
- Josh said...
8 years is a good stint. Been at it for 10 years in May this year, 5 years at the current shop and 5 more at another. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
happy trails...

Heck Ted, you gotta Pizza Ranch next door now. Talk about the benefits of working where you do. :-)

I've got eight years in as of June and I'm still loving it. Friends and relatives ask if I'm "still at the bike shop." At least my parents have gotten used to it.

What to do with cum is something most women have an opinion about. Everyone here, except for supposedly "conservative" Isabella, raves about her love for savoring and swallowing it.
Kaylee Love Cox seems happiest when her beloved meat sticks pump protein into her diet. Sakura Scott swallows each load she's fed, asking for more until every "yummy" drop is gone. Adrianna Nicole enjoys some beads in her gaping ass before enjoying some interracial d.p. action. Things come to a foamy conclusion with gargled and bubbled cum – and a satisfied request for more. Isabella doesn't swear, but she does eat ass, lick toes, get double stuffed, and lick sputtered spunk off the floor
Retailing: Something for the cum lover and those who love them.

This was such really great tasting soup. As well it was so easy to make. I did make a few changes though. I left out the tortellini and put in about a half cup of rice. Only cause I prefer rice in my tomato soups. I find tortellini tends to swell too big when reheating again. As well I found the soup way too thick so I added at least another 4 to 5 cups of water. But the flavor was really great and I will be making it again. yummy !!

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- A stabbing in Junction City has sent 4 victims to area hospitals, with one in critical condition.
Around 2:25 am the Junction City Police Department responded to the intersection of 6th and Jackson in reference to a stabbing.
Upon arrival, officers found four victims suffering from stab wounds,
two of the victim's appeared to have suffered serious, possible life threatening wounds and two others suffered minor injuries.
The altercation evolved over comments made by the suspect towards the females.
Police took a man into custody at the scene and he was questioned at the police department. After interviewing witnesses to the incident, detectives arrested 34 year-old Jason Babylon of Junction City and charged him with four counts of aggravated battery.
Babylon is being confined at the Geary County Jail without bond pending his first court appearance in the Geary County District Court.
All the victims were taken to Geary Community Hospital for treatment of their injuries. One victim was life flighted to Stormont Vail in Topeka for further treatment of his injuries and he has been listed in critical condition.
Police say the parties involved did not know eachother.

Hope the beat selection is better than this on the rest of the tracks
"like a tranny from hell?" Hmm. Sound-wise this is alright, although definitely not my proverbial cup of tea.
Royce can't really do a great solo album
Yeah, I guess he's always wanted to make an Eminem big type of album, and he just can't pull off those commercial tracks.
does that bank still even have money in it?

NYC Micro Apartments are Here! Almost! And the Winner is…
Two concurrent trends, seeming in opposition to each other, are running through the Manhattan rental apartment market right now. One is the mega-luxury-rental, those massive–and massively expensive–NYC rental apartments catering to the super-rich who want the freedom a rental affords, but also need to live in, say, a four bedroom penthouse on the 63rd floor. Prices of these beauties are routinely hitting $50,000 (and up!) a month. The other movement, and one that is far more reflective of reality for the vast majority of NYC rental apartment seekers, who are increasingly looking for a home for one, maybe two, is Mayor Bloomberg's embracing of the micro-apartment.
The pilot program for the NYC micro-apartment is in full swing, with the city rezoning one of its lots in Kips Bay for a new building of 55 apartments, each ranging from only 250 to 370 square feet. The city called upon the world's best design and architecture firms to come up with ideas for how "to optimize space and maximize the sense of openness" in such a tiny footprint, and 33 NYC micro-apartment designs were submitted, the most ever for an open call, according to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Last week the Mayor announced the winner: the team of Monadnock Development LLC, Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation, and nARCHITECTS.
Each NYC rental micro-apartment will have 9- to 10-foot ceilings, a large, floor-to-ceiling glass door exiting onto a Juliette balcony, and be divided into two distinct sections. There's the "tool box" area, with a compact kitchen (featuring full-height pull-out pantry, a full-height refrigerator, a two-burner stove, and room for a convection microwave), a bathroom, and storage space, including a 16-foot long overhead loft and a full-depth closet. Your living zone will be modular, with Murphy beds or sleeper sofas pulled down/out at night, foldable or pull-down tables in place will you're awake.
Obviously, this sort of arrangement takes personal efficiency and disciple to really work comfortably. No matter how clever the design, you just can't bring that much stuff–clothes, shoes, gear, decor, glassware, all of it–into a 250 square-foot home. It helps that almost 20% of the building's interior space is given over to common areas, so many amenities often assumed to be part of your personal space will, in fact, be shared with your neighbors. For example, the building will have a rooftop garden and deck, lounges on most of the floors for working or hanging out, a large multi-purpose space that you can reserve for dinners and events, a laundry room, bike storage and general storage, a cafe, and a fitness room.
So how much will these Manhattan micro-apartment rentals cost? For this pilot program in Kips Bay, on which construction will begin by the end of this year (each unit is pre-fabricated in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, then brought to Manhattan and, essentially, snapped together), with move-ins by September of 2015, 40 percent of the apartments will be priced in the "affordable" range, from $940 to $1,800 a month.
Prices for the market-rate units haven't been determined. Every one of these NYC micro-apartment rentals will be rent-stabilized. And if this all sounds a bit too back-to-college for you, well, frankly, that's my concern as well. But something has to be done, and hopefully the city, through residential rezoning in Manhattan and the other boroughs, and developers, through tinkering and honing, will make the concept functional and affordable for all sorts of lifestyles.
Done well, it could work for single empty-nesters, as well as professionals, artists, and workers of all ages and means. As Mayor Bloomberg said at the current design's unveiling: "the growth rate for one- and two-person households greatly exceeds that of households with three or more people, and addressing that housing challenge requires us to think creatively and beyond our current regulations."

90s japanese film about love in faceless corporate world
Looking for a Japanese film I saw prior to 2003. It was a dystopian picture of some people trying to have an office romance in the corporate office landscape of Tokyo - lots of shots of bleak urban concrete and highways and faceless office parks full of conformist white collar employees - in the final scene of the film one of the characters is stranded walking along the edge of a highway. It dealt with a complicated love triangle. I know this isn't the title, but it was something like "Kiss me twice, now hold me I love you" or something a little crazy like that- I believe this film was made in the 90s or the early 2000s. It was in Japanese language with subtitles. There is a slight chance it may have been Korean, but I'm pretty sure it was Japanese. This film may have been discussed by Fredric Jameson in one of his essays as it was screened in a graduate school class on Japanese cultural critique.

I've started collecting Blu-Ray Movies and I must say that it seems that all Live-action movies (movies that are not animated or created by a computer) seem to have aritifacts recorded on them. This was one of the worst quality movies, its sharper than DVD, but I still see the artifacts on the screen. Bein far away you see no problem but when you get up close, you'll notice that Blu-Ray isn't much different than DVD. Blu-Ray just has 5x more memory.

With the Unhindered Light Armour perk does it mean only the armour you are wearing has no weight, or all light armour you are carrying ie your loot from the latest battle.
It means only the armor you are wearing has no weight.
I don't know if this was true as of 1.4, but under 1.5 it works a little bit differently. Say you're carrying three differently enchanted full suits of dragonscale. Equipping any one of the helmets them makes all three helmets weightless, but not any the chestpieces, boots, or gauntlets. Those will still have weight until one of each gets equipped.
In patch 1.4 if you have one base piece from a set equipped, any pieces you are carrying from the set are also weightless.

Football Handling Procedure Changes
- Teams will be able to supply their own footballs, but the kicking game coordinator will take custody once they have been approved by officials.
- Before a game, two members of the officiating crew will inspect the footballs, number them and record PSI data. The footballs need to measure between 12.5 and 13.5 PSI; if they don't, they'll be adjusted to 13.0 PSI.
- Ten minutes before the game, the coordinator, a member of the officiating crew and a security person will bring 24 approved game balls (12 for each team) to the on-field replay station for distribution.
- At some games, footballs will be randomly checked at halftime and after the game, and PSI data will be recorded to determine how cold weather affects the footballs.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- A central Florida man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman says he drove up next to her while she was walking and tried to shoot her.
The victim said she was walking along the highway with her boyfriend and young son when 20-year-old Malcolm Jamaal Robins pulled up next to them and allegedly pulled out a handgun.
Osceola County deputies said the three had been in a fight before that.
It's unclear what they were fighting about. Deputies found Robins at his mother's house.
Robins also had a felony warrant out for his arrest for a previous burglary.
He was charged Friday with attempted murder and booked into Osceola County Jail.
