SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/13 -- Trumark Companies announced today a major move into San Francisco's underserved condominium market with the launch of Trumark Urban.
The new division has acquired six sites in the city's urban core for mid- and high-rise condominium communities with plans in the works for more than 500 for-sale units. The portfolio represents a commitment of investment exceeding $300 million with the first project expected to break ground in early 2013.
As the economy has rebounded, urban housing has been in high demand for months, especially along the coast, said Trumark principal and co-founder Gregg Nelson.
"But almost all the housing that's been created has been rental housing," said Nelson. "We see an exploding opportunity, and an exploding demand, for for-sale housing in core urban areas because there's almost a complete lack of supply."
Trumark Urban's managing director, Arden Hearing, said the six sites are exceptional in terms of transit access, walkability to restaurants and shopping, local appeal, individuality and potential for bringing dramatic improvement to the surrounding area.
"We want to take great places and make them better," said Hearing. In Nob Hill, for example, Hearing envisions turning a dilapidated auto repair shop into a high-rise condominium community with commercial/retail on the ground floor and perhaps a public-private art gallery in the alley.
"We want to bring life to the street -- revitalize areas in great San Francisco locations that are already right next to jobs, services and restaurants," he said.
A November report on San Francisco housing inventory illustrates the dearth of condominiums in the pipeline.
New condominium construction is expected to be minimal from 2012 to 2015, the Polaris Group reported in its November 2012 analysis of San Francisco real estate.
In fact, available new condominium inventory is forecasted to be less than 200 units per year from 2012 through 2015, the report states.
"For a city of over 800,000 residents, such low inventory is fairly remarkable," said Nelson.
"Trumark Urban will debut in San Francisco because of strategic reasons," says Michael Maples, who co-founded Trumark with Nelson in 1988. "First, there is a movement of tech companies choosing to locate in San Francisco over Silicon Valley. Second, a large portion of the young tech work force is choosing to live in San Francisco, even if it means commuting to Silicon Valley. And thirdly, we are seeing more move-down baby boomers choose to maintain a residence in highly amenitized urban areas."
"All these groups appreciate the rich amenities found in cities -- walkability to entertainment, cultural events and transit. All this at a time when people are, once again, recognizing the value of buying verses renting," Maples said.
In the past two years, housing prices have increased more than 10 percent in San Francisco, said Jason Kliewer, partner and chief investment officer of the firm who is responsible for all aspects of land acquisition, neighborhood planning and entitlement processing.
"Because of the rebounding housing market and ongoing creation of high-paying jobs in the Bay Area, we feel our footing is strong," Kliewer said.
Trumark's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mark Higgins said that condominiums will range in size from 500 to 1,500 square feet, depending on the location. The portfolio includes higher-end homes over $2 million as well as approachable market-rate housing under $500,000.
"We are looking at various amenities that appeal to this unique buyer, including personal bicycle-storage and tune-up facilities, onsite community art galleries, shared-vehicle parking and innovative outdoor spaces and uses," Higgins said.
Trumark Urban is an offshoot of Trumark Homes, which has raised more than $140 million in equity for single-family residences in suburban areas. Trumark Homes currently has 2,000 lots in pipeline in Northern and Southern California and "will continue to expand that brand," Nelson said.
Trumark Urban has a different focus, he said. "We've put together the opportunities, and we're aligning ourselves with equity partners who see the opportunity the way we do."

This security hole, is your so called Third Eye. In contrast to what your mainstream New Age movement teaches, the Third Eye is part of the Control mechanism to keep you here. It is through the Third Eye mind control is performed, delivering outside programming to your inner worlds, your psyche.
It was inbuilt on purpose in the Human-Energetic body, which contains what you call Chakras, along with its connection to the Pineal Gland in the physical body, to serve as a remotely controlled entrance point for feeding you thought-patterns and induce altered states in your psychology.
However, this can be used against its purpose, since you can actually go towards the flow, and let yourself pass out through the crack that must always be there for a physical human being to function. It is a security hole that can never be completely closed. Connection with the Soul can never be truly cut. That would render the Human body useless and lifeless. It is the Soul that animates the Body, but the Body is not expressing its Soul, but a mashed up cooking pot of ideas, thoughts and mental programming that the Mind of the Human host is filled with.
OP, last night my pineal gland "popped" so to speak. It was a loud, audible popping/cracking noise that originated from right in the center of my head towards the top of my skull.
When it happened, I suddenly felt an intense warmth/tingling pressure in that area that persisted for the next few hours until I eventually fell asleep. I also got a huge rush of energy and became instantly alert and focused. My back/body felt as if it realigned itself and popped everything back into place with very little effort or will on my part. Overall it felt pretty amazing.
How does this relate to your quoted text above? I know I've read that this may mean that one's pineal gland is "activating", but after looking for some material I haven't found anything conclusive.
Also, at the time I was smoking marijuana with a couple of friends. I was just chillin, practicing pre meditation breathing techniques/visualizations in my mind. I would smoke and feel rushes of warm energy to my head at times that would leave me feeling euphoric/lightheaded.
In total it was 2 grams between 3 of us. I am an everyday smoker. This particular session I was pretty stoned. Up until I felt the "pop", I was super tired due to smoking + lack of sleep, and it was a task to walk or keep my balance. Also, these effects disappeared once I got my energy rush.
I mention this info after reading your previous posts on marijuana use, but I can't help but think it's all related.
Please verify you're human:

By Raj Giri | April 24, 2012 | Comments
He said, 'Man, I'm finally getting heat.' This was something that he was finally getting credit for, with being his own person. So, it kind of did both of us wonders in terms of giving us our own identities.
WrestlingINC: Nowadays, you see guys just thrown together and they don't mesh. You guys definitely meshed and you looked like a tag team.
Riggs: The thing is: tag team wrestling is an art form, whether people know it or not. Vince and WWE basically said, 'Well, we don't need tag teams anymore. We'll just put guys together and make them a tag team. We've got Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston -- two great individual guys -- and put them together as a tag team.' Where'd that come from? They look like A and Z put together. Now, you got R-Truth and Kofi Kingston together and they look a little more alike, but they're still completely different personas.
A Jamaican guy and a street thug; are they going to hang out in real life? No. Are Animal and Hawk going to hang out in real life? Yes. Are Knobs and Sags going to hang out in real life? Yes. Harlem Heat? Two brothers. Steiners? Two brothers. Yes. Arn and Ollie were apart of the Four Horsemen. Are they going to be together? Yes. ... But, you knew all these guys, in a sense, were going to be put together and we're going to be great.
WrestlingINC: Now, it's basically just having two guys with nothing to do and giving them something to do. Basically, treading water until they come up with something else. But, did you know when you won the title that it was going to be a short reign?
Riggs: No, we didn't at the time. The strange thing about it was that we were the only good guy tag team there was. You had Harlem Heat, The Nasty Boys -- which could have been a baby face team, but they didn't want them to be good guys. The thing was: we were still young as a tag team so what they ended up doing was taking them off of us on a Saturday night. In actual days, [our reign] was only nine days. In months, it was around three months because they did everything so far in advance.
But, we were the champions for a few months. What they told us was, 'We're going to take the title off you now, but look for us to put them back on you again to spark some things. Make that umph again.' But that's when the Steiners and The Road Warriors came in. Sting and Luger had become a tag team. All of a sudden, the tag team division became very strong and very deep. They just said, 'Well, we need to stick with these upper guys and let you keep building as a tag team. Keep you credible, but not really give you that major push.'
We just got lost in the shuffle after they signed all those bigger guys. Just more established teams. We got lost in the shuffle because they were looking for higher ratings on Nitro. We were involved in the Monday Night Wars at the time.
WrestlingINC: You guys basically teamed up for about a year. Right?
Riggs: We were together from August of '95 to right before '97. So, about a year and a half.
Make sure to check back tomorrow for part two of our interview with Riggs, where he talks extensively about his time in WCW, his dealings with Eric Bischoff and much more.
Also, you can follow Riggs on Twitter at @REALScottyRiggs and you can send him your well wishes as he recovers from his recent gallbladder surgery. We here at WrestlingINC.com would also like to wish Riggs the best as he recovers.

Asian Milfoil
Eurasian milfoil species are not native to our state, and they are very difficult to control once they become fully established. Milfoil reproduces through fragmentation, whereby plant fragments break off from the parent plant through wind or boat action, grow roots, and settle in a new location.
Milfoil spreads rapidly and displaces beneficial native plant life. It makes swimming difficult and can devalue waterfront property. Where this species grows in its native environment, insects and fish may feed on this plant at such a rate as to control its growth. In our area, however, milfoil has no natural predators to keep its population in check. Under optimum temperature, light and nutrient conditions, milfoil may grow up to an inch per day.
How did exotic milfoil become established in New York? It was most likely a "stowaway" fragment attached to a boat or trailer that came to this region. Milfoil can live out of water for many hours if it remains moist.

Annual reports from publishing organizations always have a marketing slant, even when they are required filings with governmental bodies.

In 1979, a study at the University of Pittsburgh Library found that 40% of the books added in the previous six years had not circulated. 37 years later, we librarians still cite that number and many of us use it (among other factors) to justify moving in the direction of patron-driven acquisition. A critic of that practice argues that many subsequent circulation studies contradict the Kent Study. But do they? Continue reading

Action star and popular "Pacifier" Vin Diesel will star in Fox's big-screen adaptation of the Eidos Interactive video game "Hitman," says Variety. No word yet on who'll be writing and/or directing the new video game flick, but Fox is really enjoying the video-game-movie renaissance: they recently signed a deal to help bring a "Halo" movie to the big screen, as well.
The story of "Hitman" focuses on an "international assassin known as Agent 47 who works for a mysterious org dubbed the Agency." The first three entries in the "Hitman" game series have sold over 10 million units worldwide, and a fourth chapter, entitled "Hitman: Blood Money," is scheduled for release later this year.

Barcelona Demonstrations
Contemporary Issues, third prize singles
March 29, 2012
Barcelona, Spain
Mireia Arnau (39) reacts behind the broken glass of her shop, stormed by demonstrators clashing with police in Barcelona, during a general strike on 29 March.
The national strike was called in protest against the government's labor reforms. In an ongoing climate of economic difficulty, parliament was proposing stringent cuts, as well as measures aimed at making it easier for businesses to fire employees.
Spain's unemployment was running at over 24 percent, the highest in the European Union, with half of under 25s out of work. Most protests across the country were peaceful, but in Barcelona some demonstrators hurled rocks at banks and shop fronts.

Kuwait is interested in buying a technical and logistics support package worth $200m for its F/A-18 military jets from the United States.
The Defence Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of the possible foreign military sale to the Gulf state.
It said in a statement that the Government of Kuwait has requested logistics support, contractor maintenance, and technical services in support of the the aircraft.
The package would include avionics software upgrade, engine component improvement, ground support equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical documentation, the statement said.
"The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East," the statement added.
The principal contractors will be General Dynamics of Virginia, The Boeing Company and Wyle Laboratories, of Alabama.
The agency said the implementation of the proposed sale will require the assignment of 90 US government and contractor representatives for a period of three years to establish and maintain operational capability.
In April, the agency said Kuwait was interested in buying a package of military hardware worth $371m including a Globemaster III aircraft from the United States.

Transmission leaks may be caused by lose pan bolts or drain plugs, a cracked transmission pan gasket, a faulty torque convertor, damaged transmission fluid lines or a warped pan gasket, according to CarsDirect. There are various reasons for transmission leaks. Most have easy fixes, while some can be quite expensive.Continue Reading
Transmission leaks often result from lose pan bolts after a filter change. Leaks may also come out of drain plugs if they aren't well secured after changing the transmission fluid. Lose drain plugs and pan bolts can easily be tightened to stop any leaks.
Cracked transmission gaskets can be another cause of leaks. In this case, the transmission gasket should be replaced to seal the leaks. Transmission gaskets are quite inexpensive, and replacing them is easy.
Sometimes, transmission leaks are caused by a damaged torque convertor. Damage to the torque convertor's needle bearings or a chink in the torque convertor's body can cause leaks that may be difficult to detect and quite expensive to repair.
Debris on the road may damage or puncture transmission fluid lines and cause leaks. These lines are usually quite durable, but they are not totally immune to damage.
Transmission leaks are damaging to the environment. Transmission fluid is just as harmful as other petroleum-based products, and it can cause significant damage to the environment. For instance, soil contaminated with transmission fluid can be toxic to insects and rodents that keep pests in balance.
Leaked transmission fluid can also find its way to a water source either by seeping through asphalt or being carried by the rain. Water contaminated with leaked transmission fluid can cause irreparable damage to humans and animals.Learn more about Transmission
Replace the automatic transmission fluid lines by jacking up the vehicle, draining the transmission fluid, removing the lines from the transmission and the radiator, and replacing them with new lines. The vehicle must be jacked up and secured on jack stands, both front and back, before crawling under the vehicle.Full Answer >
Transmission fluid flushes are more expensive than transmission fluid changes, according to L.D. Automotive. While the flush removes more of the old fluid and debris from the transmission, it can damage transmission seals and valves.Full Answer >
Transmission shudder is usually caused by a lack of transmission fluid or a slipping torque converter clutch. Contaminants in the transmission fluid may also lead to transmission shudders, but because the transmission is a closed system, dirty transmission fluid is usually a sign of a larger problem.Full Answer >
When performing a transmission tune-up, multiple tasks are necessary, including a transmission flush, fluid change, and pan gasket and filter check. A trransmission tune-up should be done about once a year.Full Answer >


text: News Motion Picture Company produces web series about a world where charity meets porn December 6, 2012 9:43 by Robin Hicks 0 The Motion Picture Company is shooting a new web series called the Charity Porn Initiative. Written by John Banas, the 18 x 6 minute series is about a website set up by MPC producer Peter Slee in 2009 called charityporn.com. The story follows the fortunes of the character whose life is turned upside-down as his website takes off. It is being shot in January and February, and is scheduled for an early release online in 2013. The cast has yet to be announced. The series is to be distributed next year via video sharing sites and the website thecpinitiative.com. Peter Slee, who is creative director on the project, explained: "A web-series plays to our strengths and, as we've seen recently, content that is daring can find an audience online. Traditional distribution is increasingly looking to online for new talent, new ideas, and entertainment with proven audiences." Banas has written for TV shows including City Homicide, All Saints and Blue Heelers, and more recently, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries for the ABC and New Zealand's Underbelly: Land of the Long Green Cloud. "The web-series format provides potential for a larger audience reach than most Australian TV shows currently enjoy. We're aiming for one million plus regular viewers, which should be easy given we're combining four major pillars of internet discussion: porn, technology, religion and politics. We're also trying to figure out how to get pictures of cute cats in the script as well", Slee added. MPC was behind the popular 'It's time' video for GetUp's marriage equality campaign. The video has amassed more than 6m views on YouTube.

Quesada Tributo Cigars Shipping Soon
David Savona
Posted: May 26, 2010
The Quesada Tributo cigar line, the second cigar to bear the Quesada name, following the 2009 release of the Quesada 35th Anniversary, will be in cigar shops next week. Brand owner Manuel Quesada told Cigar Insider the cigars would ship from his factory in the Dominican Republic by the end of May and ship from SAG Imports in Miami the first week of June.
Like the Quesada 35th cigar, the Tributo brand was made by Quesada and his team of daughters, nephews and nieces—known as the "Fifth Generation"—at Matasa (Manufactura de Tabacos S.A.) in Santiago.
The brand comes in four sizes. The Manolin measures 6 1/2 inches by 60 ring, and has a suggested retail price of $7.95. The Alvaro, the only figurado in the line, is a 6 by 52 belicoso, and sells for $7.50. The Alvarito, a 4 1/2 by 40 cigar, sells for $5.25, and the Julio, a 5 by 50 robusto, is $6.50.
To read Gordon Mott's blog about the Tributo release, with video from the Dominican Republic, click here.

Response from Dr. McGovern
Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood to blood exposure so I wouldn't test for this exposure. I think your negative HIV test at 3 months is also reassuring since this was a low risk exposure.

"Mutagenesis?" These things don't just happen over night, and individuals don't change much at all, you are an evolutionary transition from your parents to any offspring you have, or may have. Look in the mirror, it's happening right before you eyes right this minute ... oh wait, you won't see it that way, because ... I repeat, it's not noticeable changes on individuals, the changes are so slow, if you watched a dinosaur evolve into a bird in real time, you'd still say you were watching dinosaurs the whole time ... and even today you'd be calling the birds dinosaurs ... because you wouldn't see the changes. That's why we didn't realize it was happening until we saw the fossil record, and even then, scientists doubted it was what some thought it was until genetics filled in the blanks with some undeniable information, evidence that could only point toward evolution.

Life isn't a computer. Do not confuse the two. Life follows algorithms, not math. We use the numbers to describe things, the things are not bound by those numbers. "Odds" is simply stating that we cannot predict all the variables and calculate all the factors, everything is cause and effect, we just don't know all the causes, and intelligent people don't fill in causes with guesses, just like intelligent people know that certain chemical reactions will always occur in specific instances, and that's what you are. All life is a bunch of chemical reactions, which produce the effect we call life.

The mutations take place on individuals and are passed down each mutation stacking on the last one until the changes thrive or dive right some 150-175 mutations per generation

You really are not thinking clearly. If you want to look at it one mutation at a time, which is over simplified and a bit wrong no matter how you do it. The mutation enables an animal to have an edge of some sort. It mates and passes on its mutation. Since it helped him or her on average more of his or her progeny will survive to breed and so on. The right mutations never have to meet up in one couple.

You are sort of getting it. Now, you need to learn what a mutation is. A mutation is any change, any change at all, in the billions of molecules that make up the DNA. So 175 is less than a 1% change, if there are 3 billion pairs, for example, 175 mutations is 0.000000058% change. The human gene has 3 billion pairs. Now it unlikely that such a small change is even visible, think a new pimple that's passed down through generations, each generation it gets just a bit bigger, after a few hundred that pimple looks more like a mole ... a few hundred more it's now hard and pointy, but still so tiny almost no one notices it ... a few thousand more and humans have horns. Of course this hypothetical is not likely to happen, and the artificial selection are are now doing for ourselves may prevent the trait from being passed on to enough generations and it will either be replaced by something else, or just fade out completely. In the natural world, it would be a new weapon, possibly a mating feature, the possibilities of how it would influence the organism are too vast to calculate, so we often simplify it and give it an "odds" value based on statistical data, which is not right very often yet because it still needs more study. But, it happens, you are an evolutionary step from your parents, just because you were born, you have mutations in your genes.

Conspiracy nuttery, and a possible Ray Comfort fallacy hidden in there because, we have been genetically engineering our food sources since we learned how to farm. It's the reason we have cows, corn, bananas you can bite into, and a mess of other really successful genetically engineered food products. Yeah, that's genetic engineering, the cow, not natural at all, we made it, by choosing specific types to breed and letting the others die off. We chose corn that was tastier and planted more of it, ignoring what didn't taste so well. We found the bananas with the fewest seeds, and kept planting and eating what we could from those, eventually, after a few thousand years, a lot more for some, we now have yellow corn, soft bananas, and beef.

Several fruit fly "guided" tests were done, and several were very successful actually. There was one where they were guided to two completely different species of fruit flies. They choose fruit flies because they have a really short breeding cycle and lifespan, in other species they'd still be working on the first few generations.

We have to fly to Orlando because we live too far away to drive. Garden Grocer makes it so easy to have snacks in the room without spending an extra hour (or two) looking for a grocery store to buy some. The prices and delivery fee are quite reasonable. At our Disney resort, the bell services delivered the groceries to our room after we called the front desk, so we didn't even have to carry all those grocery bags! The website has great choices and an easy way to find the products you're looking for. Everything is paid in advance, so one less worry for your vacation. I will use Garden Grocer every time I come to Disney World in the future.
This was our third time using Garden Grocer while staying at a Disney resort. The orders are delivered within the specified time and we love the text messaging letting us know when I groceries have arrived. Strongly recommend this service.
I can't believe I ever went to Disney without Garden Grocer! It was so nice arriving at our hotel to groceries for my family of four for the week. I was able to get snacks, drinks and breakfast foods. Everything was kept separated and was delivered in the timeslot I requested. I highly recommend Garden Grocer!

Cargotec has confirmed new orders worth around EUR 25 million to deliver MacGregor hatch covers, lashing bridges and fixed lashing gear for eleven 8,800 TEU container ships being built by Sungdong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard in South Korea. The MacGregor equipment will be delivered between mid-2012 and the end of 2013. The orders include an option for the delivery of MacGregor solutions for a further ten ships. "Hatch covers and lashing systems are an integral part of a container vessel's cargo-handling ability," says, Tommi Keskilohko, Sales Manager for Container ships. "Cargotec's early involvement in the project enabled it to design the most efficient and safe cargo handling solution possible. Also, as a result of our cargo system design expertise, we can maximise the ship's overall efficiency and profitability."
"Furthermore, Cargotec is the only company who can deliver the whole cargo equipment package. This provides the shipyard with one accountable partner, allowing it to concentrate on its core business," Keskilohko said.
BP, Conoco Phillips, and Exxon Mobil said that the 65-billion dollar megaproject would be too unprofitable for them to move into the next phase of development.
The Dutch shipping company family Switijnk has contracted C-Job Naval Architects to develop a Rotor Sail-equipped design to meet their specific loading and sailing profile.

Report: IRS Conferences Cost $50 Mil.
House panel chairman says Washington directed agents to target conservatives.
Published: Sunday, June 2, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 3, 2013 at 12:20 a.m.
WASHINGTON | A government watchdog has found that the Internal Revenue Service spent about $50 million to hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012, a House committee said Sunday.
The chairman of that committee, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., also released excerpts of congressional investigators' interviews with employees of the IRS office in Cincinnati. Issa said the interviews indicated they were directed by Washington to subject tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to tough scrutiny.
The excerpts provided no direct evidence that Washington had ordered that screening. The top Democrat on that panel, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said none of the employees interviewed have so far identified any IRS officials in Washington as ordering that targeting.
The conference spending included $4 million for an August 2010 gathering in Anaheim, Calif., for which the agency did not negotiate lower room rates, even though that is standard government practice, according to a statement by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Instead, some of the 2,600 attendees received benefits, including baseball tickets and stays in presidential suites that normally cost $1,500 to $3,500 per night. In addition, 15 outside speakers were paid a total of $135,000 in fees, with one paid $17,000 to talk about "leadership through art," the House committee said.
The report by the Treasury Department's inspector general, set to be released Tuesday, comes as the IRS already is facing bipartisan criticism after agency officials disclosed they had targeted tea party and other conservative groups.
Agency officials and the Obama administration have said that treatment was inappropriate. But the political tempest is showing no signs of ebbing and has put the White House on the defensive. Three congressional committees are investigating, a Justice Department criminal investigation is under way, President Barack Obama has replaced the IRS' acting commissioner and two other top officials have stepped aside.
The Treasury Department released a statement Sunday saying the administration "has already taken aggressive and dramatic action to reduce conference spending."
IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge said Sunday that spending on large agency conferences with 50 or more participants fell from $37.6 million in the 2010 budget year to $4.9 million in 2012. The government's fiscal year begins Oct. 1 the previous calendar year.
On Friday, the new acting commissioner, Danny Werfel, released a statement on the forthcoming report criticizing the Anaheim meeting.
"This conference is an unfortunate vestige from a prior era," Werfel said. "While there were legitimate reasons for holding the meeting, many of the expenses associated with it were inappropriate and should not have occurred."
Werfel, a former official at the White House Office of Management and Budget, said reducing excessive personal travel has been "a personal priority for me" and said "taxpayers should take comfort that a conference like this would not take place today."
Appearing Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," Issa expressed skepticism.
"Understand that some of the things that they're saying, 'Well, this wouldn't happen again,' they would still happen again," Issa said.
Issa's committee also released excerpts from interviews congressional investigators conducted last week with two IRS employees from the agency's Cincinnati office. The excerpts made available offered no direct evidence that the targeting of conservative groups was directed from Washington, and did not name any individuals or agencies involved.
One of the IRS employees said in an excerpt that they were told by a supervisor that the need to collect the reports came from Washington. The other said "all my direction" came from an official the transcript said was in Washington.
One of the workers also expressed skepticism that the Cincinnati office originated the screening without direction from Washington, according to the excerpts.
On CNN, Issa said this conflicted with White House comments about misconduct by IRS workers in Cincinnati.
"This is a problem that was coordinated in all likelihood right out of Washington headquarters and we're getting to proving it," he said.
In response, Cummings said Issa's comments conflicted with a Treasury inspector general's report that provided no evidence that the Cincinnati office received orders on targeting from anyone else.
"Rather than lobbing unsubstantiated conclusions on national television for political reasons, we need to work in a bipartisan way to follow the facts where they lead," Cummings said.
The interviews with IRS employees were conducted by Republican and Democratic aides on Issa's committee and also involved aides from both parties from the House Ways and Means Committee.
One of the employees was a lower-level worker while the other was higher ranked, said one congressional aide, but the committee did not release their names or titles.
The IRS Cincinnati office handles applications from around the country for tax-exempt status. A Treasury inspector general's report in May said employees there began searching for applications from tea party and conservative groups in their hunt for organizations that primarily do work related to election campaigns.
That May report blamed "ineffective management" for letting that screening occur for more than 18 months between 2010 and 2012. But that report -- and three hearings by congressional committees -- have produced no specific evidence that the Cincinnati workers were ordered by anyone in Washington to target conser-vatives.
The latest report on IRS conferences will be the subject of a hearing Thursday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Werfel is scheduled to make his first congressional appearance as acting commissioner Monday when he appears before a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee.
According to congressional aides briefed by the inspector general's office, the IRS also did not formally seek competitive bids for the city where the agency's 2010 conference was held, for the event planner who assisted the agency, or for the speakers.

Jayvees pull out win over PH
SoVaNow.com / October 04, 2012The Comet jayvee volleyball team earned a quality win over PH-Roanoke Tuesday night.
HCHS won the match, two games to one.
The Comets dropped the first game, 25-20. But the Comets rallied with wins by scores of 25-21 and 15-12.
"It was a very important win in the district, especially after coming off the loss to William Fleming. That was kind of a shocker. "(This win) definitely got our spirits up a little bit. We had a little trouble in the first game, we got ahead, and we let them eat away at the lead. We were playing catchup the rest of the (first) game," coach Jessica Martin said.
It was still close in the third game. But the Comets did a good job finishing, which did not happen last week against the Colonels.
Logan Redd had one ace, five good serves, four service points, two kills, six attacks and ten good sets. Laurel Jennings had three attacks.
Madison Puryear had one ace, one good serve, one service point and one kill, with 19 good sets. Brittani Boxley had five aces, 11 good serves and nine service points. Megan Nunn added one ace, four good serves, two service points and a kill, with seven good sets.
Cecile Elliott had five aces, six good serves, six service points, seven attacks and two kills, with seven good passes. Denia Rauls had two aces, two good serves, two service points, one kill, one attack and two good passes. Heather Griles had one good serve, one service point, two kills, six attacks and five good passes. Kirsten Doss had two good passes.
Lauren Womack had three good serves, one service point and three good passes, with ten good sets.
Taylor Barnes had three aces, seven good serves, five service points, three kills, five attacks, and 15 good passes.

From Publishers Weekly
When three young female New York editors come up with a sassy scheme to publicly expose a notoriously womanizing literary agent, little do they imagine he'll end up not just naked (and tied up in S/M gear) but dead. All do, however, have motives for murder: the smarmy fellow has personally humiliated successful Felicia Redmon, professionally backstabbed not-so-successful Tallie Blankenship and plagiarized the plot of a book that means the world to ambitious Jan Glass. So confessing that they were the last to see their tormentor alive is likely to make them prime suspects, even in the eyes of Tallie's protective new cop boyfriend. But if they stay silent, they may wind up being the real murderer's next victims. While whodunit isn't revealed till the book's surprise ending, the suspense isn't the kind that kills you. As is typical of Bond's books (Party Crashers, etc.), the overall tone is deliciously frothy, and small comedic details abound: high-powered Felicia is a secret super housewife who cleans, cooks and lies about it, and Jan has changed her name from plain "Jane" to appear more glamorously French. And though romance is not the book's main focus, there's enough love between the laughs to keep relationship-minded readers happy.

Lovely - I love the asymmetry of it and the colors and how the overlaps are white. Sophisticated and silly at the same time - really nice!

My friend works at the local comic shop and I was gonna go there on a spree and get all TF stuff in stock lol. But Id like to know the order for all the new series as well.
Ive found lists on tfwiki, wikipedia, etc. but Id like to hear from someone who actually read them all so far. I prefer to read things in the order they were released anyway, not the order someone else thinks is best for timeline sake.
