A Year Later
It's been about a year since I've written in this blog and I felt the need to update it! I am including in this post the presentation that I gave at my church about my trip to Hong Kong.
The experience was one that I will never forget and I definitely wouldn't want to! Ever since my freshman year in high school, I've developed a strong affinity for Asia which came into full fruition in college when I decided to major in International Relations and Asian Studies with a concentration on Chinese Studies. I've been learning Mandarin Chinese for 2 years as well.
I wasn't sure exactly what to say during this second hour, but I guess I will talk about several different aspects of my long and amazing journey abroad.
-I'll talk a bit about each country I visited and their cultures, religious backgrounds and such, along with experiences I had in those countries – showing you some pictures along the way
-How the experience changed me as a person
-How I grew spiritually and my involvement in a church in HK
First off, I decided to go to Hong Kong to study abroad for several reasons. I had gotten a taste of China and that particular area in Asia last summer when I visited Beijing and Shanghai along with several smaller Chinese cities for 2 weeks. I already loved Asia before going on that trip, but I came out of it with a newfound ardent interest in China especially. My college, Rollins College, had an established program with Hong Kong Baptist University and no program yet in the Mainland of China. My Chinese professors at Rollins desperately tried to figure out how I could attend a university in Shanghai, but to no avail for there weren't enough classes taught in English that I need for my major. So I decided to go to Hong Kong. Now, on a side note, there now is an established Rollins program in Shanghai starting this Fall of 2008, but it was not ready for me to attend and would not have been applicable for me because the classes offered in that program were ones that I had already taken at Rollins. So I went to Hong Kong, which truly was not a disappointment for me, as much as it was for my Chinese professors.
So, I'll give you a background of Hong Kong to start off. HK is truly one of the most westernized areas in Asia. It is a former territory of Great Britain and was handed back over to China in 1997 due to treaty agreements. Great Britain had obtained Hong Kong after winning the First Opium War of the mid-1800s. Hong Kong is currently a Special Administrative Region of China until 2047, meaning that the region maintains complete autonomy until 2047. It has its own legal system, judicial system, etc. until 2047 when China will regain control. Due to its past connections with Great Britain for over a hundred years, you can imagine how westernized HK actually is. Many people can speak English, especially in the 40 and under crowd. There are signs everywhere written in both Chinese and English. So it wasn't hard for me to get around at all. Hong Kong is very much of a metropolitan urban area with the most skyscrapers in the world concentrated in one place. Business and technological development flourish in HK. Public transportation is the norm for most people and I greatly enjoyed using the subway and bus systems. HK is a very small region and you can pretty much travel anywhere within 30 minutes on the subway or bus or taxi. There are several islands surrounding the mainland of HK that you take a ferry to which can take up to an hour to travel to.
My experiences in Hong Kong were interesting to say the least. I arrived there not knowing a single soul, I was the only one from my university going there this past semester and I was the third person from Rollins to ever go there at all. But I quickly made friends with a couple girls from various places around America and steadily got to know more and more exchange students throughout my time there. There were people from Estonia, England, France, Mexico, South Korea, Italy, Texas, you name it, they were there. That is one truly great thing about HK, it is one of the most diverse places on earth and attracts foreigners from all over the world. That was an extremely amazing experience for me to get to know people from all over and learn things about their cultures back home. It was amazing that we could all quickly become fast friends despite our obvious differences. So my first couple weeks in the country were full of expeditions and exploring around. Throughout my time there I pretty much saw everything you could see in HK, while leaving a bit for the next time I go there.
-Big Buddha
-so many malls
-Victoria Peak
-Chi Lin Nunnery
-Ladies Market
-Mong Kok
-Ned Kelly's Pub
-Midlevels Escalator
-Cheung Chau Island
-Walled City Park
-Kowloon Park
-Stanley Market
-Repulse Bay
-Tsim Sha Tsui
-Burger King
-Symphony of Lights
-Chinese New Year
-Taco Loco
-Jackie Chan's office
-Jumbo Floating Restaurant
-Jade Market
-open markets
-Pizza Hut
-movie theaters
During the semester we had a multitude of breaks and days off of school, so I visited several places. My first trip was for 2 weeks in Thailand with my friend Brittney from Texas. The first thing I will say about Thailand is that it is HOT! The whole time we were there it was over 100 degrees and we were sweating like pigs throughout each day, but we beared it because Thailand was one of the most culturally interesting and beautiful places I have ever been to. We flew into Bangkok, the capitol, for a couple days and checked out all the temples and sites there. Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country as well as a monarchy, and so everywhere you looked there was either a Buddhist temple (wat) or a monument with many photographs of the King and Queen of Thailand. So the major site in Bangkok is definitely the Grand Palace which was the former residence of the King. I was wearing a tank top and shorts and they made me wear a sari and short sleeved shirt to enter the grounds for religious and cultural reasons. It was a gorgeous palace with everything made in gold and with the most ornate decorations I've ever seen.
We saw the tallest standing Buddha at Wat Inthara Wihan and visited Wat Pho which had a reclining Buddha which was 151 ft long. We checked out the shopping centers and night markets near our hotel and ate delicious food from outdoor vendors. We took tuktuks everywhere we went, which are motorized rickshaws, and we took a river taxi once which was pretty fun. We also visited the Rose Garden where we saw a Thai cultural show. We traveled by train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya which was the former capital of Thailand until the mid 1700s when it was ransacked and destroyed by Burmese troops. The temple ruins in Ayutthaya were breathtakingly beautiful. Some of my favorites were Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Wat Mahathat with the Buddha head inside banyan tree roots, and the Bang Pa-In Palace. It was in Ayutthaya that I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I got to take care of an elephant for an entire day! It was at this place called Elephantstay and for about 100 USD, we got to have our own elephant for the day, feed it several times, wash and scrub it, ride it into a river several times where it bathed and cooled off from the hot sun, learn elephant commands, and pretty much have an amazing day with elephants! There were baby elephants and older elephants, some of which were staying there because they had been abused in the past or were condemned to die because of causing injury to people. But now, all of the elephants were very human-friendly. My elephant was about 80 years old and named Loonsahp and she was as sweet as can be!
We then traveled back to Bangkok by train and caught a flight down to Phuket where we stayed for the night before traveling by ferry to Koh Phi Phi Island which was one of the places hit hardest by the tsunami back in 2004. Koh Phi Phi was one of the most gorgeous places I had ever been to and is probably on one of those travel lists of the most beautiful places in the world. The ferry ride was 2 hours long where I got more sunburned than I have ever been before, but it was all worth it when we saw the breathtaking sight of Koh Phi Phi.
The water is the most gorgeous shade of blue, the foliage on the islands is the greenest green, and the beaches had amazingly soft sand. We were there for 6 blissful days where we stayed in a little bungalow on a hill and were 5 minutes from the shore. The food was amazing and the beach was great. A couple people from HKBU joined us there and we shared many good times relaxing on the beach. I did go snorkeling once which is an accomplishment for me as I am deathly afraid of sharks and sea creatures.
Afterwards we traveled by ferry back to Phuket for the night and then flew back to Bangkok and then Hong Kong.
I also went into the Mainland China on a couple short trips. First I visited Shenzhen where a group of friends and I went to get massages at this spa over there. It was very cheap and very nice! The experience was very relaxing and I loved being in the mainland to practice my Mandarin, as Hong Kongers speak Cantonese and English and I only used Mandarin in rare circumstances. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy more of Shenzhen, but I can say that it is a major urban area in China. I also went into the mainland for about 5 days to Guangzhou which is a major urban city in southern China. This trip was great because I went with my friend Lynn who is Chinese and from there and I got to stay with her family.
-Qingming Festival
-Lin Village
-Urban city
-Family dinners and gatherings
-No English
My third big trip that I took was to South Korea for a week with my friend Kevin who is Korean but lives in HK. He helped me with my Mandarin because he was fluent in it and he invited me to visit Korea with him because I had expressed a large interest in visiting there. So, while the rest of my friends went to Beijing which I had already been to, I went to South Korea. It was amazing, we stayed in Seoul for a few days with his sister. I truly loved the city and got to see beautiful parks and historic sites and shopping and a soprano performance by his sister. We then went to Jeju Island.
-Mix of Hawaii, Europe, beaches, hills, fields of flowers, mountains, lava tubes
-Family time
-renewed interest in Asia
-part of KIBC (Impact Groups, Café Mosaic) – international, two services
-independence in my spirituality
-peer comfort and growth
-learned a lot about other cultures and other people's religions
-saw several Chinese saved

It's Almost Over Now
Hong Kong has truly opened up my eyes to new possibilities. Around every corner is the chance to experience something different, whether it be a gorgeous temple with peaceful gardens or a bustling market with cute shoes sold next to whole fish or even a beautiful mountain overlooking the urban city below, Hong Kong has everything you could ever want. Not only is the city unlike anything else, but its people are unique as well. Hong Kong is so diverse in cultures and is full of people from around the world, but I still find it disarming to be in Asia, right on the border of Mainland China, and be surrounded by Europeans, Americans, Africans, and more. It is unlike any other place in the entire world.
Hong Kong has many different sections or areas. The major ones are Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, the New Territories, and Lantau Island. My school was in Kowloon Tong, known for its major shopping center called Festival Walk and its close proximity to Jackie Chan's office/studio (which was extremely cool and is part of the picture from the last post). I'm really glad that I was in Kowloon Tong because it was more suburban than Hong Kong Island, which is where all of the major businesses and skyscrapers are, and was in a good location for shopping, eating, entertainment, and activities. We had a beautiful park right next to campus with several basketball courts, a soccer field, running track, and playground. Festival Walk was an amazing mall, kind of like Mall of Millenia, but with about 8 stories, an ice skating rink, movie theatre, huge eating area, several restaurants, really nice stores, and a grocery store on the first floor. It even connected to the MTR (subway station) and another nearby college, City University.
The MTR was maybe one of my favorite things about Hong Kong, which might sound silly to some, but coming from Florida where there is no public transportation like the subway, the MTR was a big change. Not only was it convenient and close by, but it could take you to literally anywhere in Hong Kong. I never had to worry about not having a car at all! Plus, it wasn't dirty like the subways in New York or Chicago. Hong Kong also has an extensive bus system, which was really cool. There are minibuses and bigger buses, double decker buses, and even a tram system. I remember one of my first experiences riding a minibus, I was forced to yell out that I wanted to go to my dorm in Cantonese, "Sohksei mgoi!", or else the driver wouldn't stop. But I did it and the driver understood and that was a pretty affirming moment, silly as that sounds hha. Oh and in the first picture, Brittney and I are on the longest outdoor escalator in the world. Yes, Hong Kong Island is home to the Mid-levels Escalator, which is 800 meters long and takes 20 minutes to ride from start to finish!
Well I'll update about others areas in Hong Kong as well as the countries I visited over the semester in my next post!

After a "brief" hiatus..
In the span of 4 1/2 months, I have written three blog entries, with this being the fourth. This is terribly, terribly sad, but can be attributed to several things: the sudden spike in schoolwork and exams that hit me full-force near the middle of the semester, the many trips that I went on, and the fact that I was out enjoying this lovely city whenever I could. (I am also one of the world's biggest procrastinators, shh). However, I must say that Saturday is my LAST day of working on schoolwork until August! So with that, I will be writing the longest journal entries of my life and informing all of you readers (who may have abandoned this effort, but please come back! :P) of my terrific time here in Hong Kong. Not only will you learn of what it was like to be in Thailand, South Korea, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, but you will also learn everything there is to know about one of the best places to be in the entire world, Hong Kong!!
So please trust me on this one, I WILL be back very soon and won't make you wait any longer!! And I also added a link to my photo site in the upper right-hand corner where all of my photos from the semester are stored!
P.S. -- Please keep the people of China, especially Sichuan Province, in your prayers as they are going through this awful experience after one of the most devastating earthquakes in the country's history. They are in desperate need for prayer and any help that they can receive. A good website where you can send financial donations is:

From the Other Side
Neih hou (hello)!
Considering it's been over a month since I last updated, I have a lot to tell of my recent activities in Hong Kong! I promise to update in a much more consistent manner from now on! I left the last post with a mention of my church, Kowloon International Baptist Church (KIBC). I must say that this has been a place where I've found some of my closest friends here in Hong Kong. We are a mix of nationalities, from American to Chinese to Liberian to German and more. It's amazing to be around so many people of different cultures and backgrounds, I can not imagine a more diverse place in the world than Hong Kong. It has been a huge blessing to find KIBC and have such close connections there. Every week I attend the contemporary Sunday worship service along with Bible study, Tuesday nights are my book group nights where we are reading and discussing "Praise Habit" by David Crowder, and on Wednesday night we have Cafe Mosaic where people from all over the world gather to chat about life over coffee and snacks. Along with KIBC, I've also been attending a Chinese Culture Class led by students at HKBU. We discuss different areas of China, traditions, religion, politics, history, and more. That has been a great experience and has shown me the excitement that many of the students at HKBU have toward fostering international relationships and teaching others about their homeland of China.
Now on to classes. I'm taking 4 academic classes at HKBU, along with 2 classes through Rollins. Urban Development in China has been an interesting course so far because I've been learning all about the development of China's cities and migration processes. Traditional Chinese Society is a class that has introduced me to many aspects of traditional Chinese people and culture. I've already made a presentation in that class on women in traditional China. I'm taking Computer-Aided Statistics which has proven to be more daunting than I thought, but I share the class with 3 other exchange students so we try to survive together. And then I am also taking Intro to Cantonese because I want to form a foundation of the language in case I decide to live here after graduating :) I can honestly say that I like learning Mandarin a lot more than Cantonese, but the class is still really fun and it's always interesting to learn as many languages as possible. I've already used words I've learned several times, such as in taxis and when paying for things at the store! Then I am also continuing my studies in Mandarin through email with Wei Laoshi back at Rollins and continuing my Honors thesis preparation as well. Classes have their positives and negatives here. Compared to Rollins, we have much less work to do at HKBU. I have about one paper per class and only one class required a presentation. I also only had one midterm for Statistics. But, the downside to this is that our final exams count for at least 60% of our grade!! It doesn't help that I am planning on visiting the mainland before exam time, so I will have to study hard on the airplane rides and any moment I have to relax! But it is wonderful to have so much free time without much homework for the majority of the semester. It gives me a lot of time to explore the city :)
Next post I will update about all of the amazing places I have visited! I will also be going to Thailand soon for Easter break!! Until then,
Joih gin (goodbye)!

Three Weeks Later
First of all, I have to say, I did not plan on waiting 3 weeks to update this blog! But, as you will read, I have been doing and experiencing a lot of new and exciting things here in Hong Kong! From everything I have done and everything I have learned, I must say that I love it here and will find it very hard to leave in 4 1/2 months. I can already sense that this will be an amazing journey. Now, to start from the beginning...
I arrived in Hong Kong on January 7th after a long, grueling 21-hour flight! It wouldn't have been so unbearable if I could have only seen the movie screen...but oh well, what could I do. Once I arrived at HKG (Hong Kong International Airport), I subsequently got lost and somehow found myself taking multiple escalators, moving sidewalks, and even some kind of subway by myself in search of immigration. I finally found it thank goodness, despite the fact that the only white person I saw along the way would only care to tell me not to stop near the top of the escalator instead of helping to point me in the right direction. I finally reached my group who had been patiently waiting for me and we set off toward HKBU!
Upon arrival at HKBU, I met my roommate, Jenny, who ended up being from mainland China which is exactly what I wanted so that I could practice my Mandarin. She's an interesting girl from Fujian Province. I think that we definitely do have cultural differences, but it has been good to learn about those differences and ways to deal with them over these past 3 weeks. She has been nice for the most part and taken me shopping for necessities, which I desperately needed.
The first week was full of orientation meetings, some interesting and some not-so-much, but my favorite day was on Friday when we went on a tour around Hong Kong for about 6 hours or so. Everything I saw was pretty amazing to say the least. We first went to the Wong Tai Sin Temple where many people were gathered worshiping their ancestors and offering food and burning incense. I got to shake a can full of sticks to get my fortune, but I ended up not finding out what my fortune was because I didn't want to pay for it! We then went to the Jade Market which was full of stands where vendors sold multiple items made of jade and the like, from jewelry to chess boards to statues and more. I definitely want to go back when I am in a shopping mood! Next we visited Victoria Peak which is one of the most famous places in HK and also known for having the most expensive residences. We took a bus to the top and lo and behold there was a mall :P From that mall there is a viewing spot where you can see a beautiful view of Hong Kong Island, the skyscraper central of the world. From there we visited Aberdeen which is home to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, a very famous place known for its delicious dim sum. The food was amazing and so was the company. After we were bussed over to Repulse Bay, one of the beaches here in HK. Though this beach can't be compared to the beauty of some of Florida's beaches, it was pretty nice. It is refreshing to see a familiar sight in this foreign place I will be living. We then went to Stanley Market which was full of small stores selling clothes and shoes and accessories. The typical Chinatown if you will. I will definitely be going back there soon.
The remaining two weeks have been full of exploring and meeting new people. I will update soon on what I've been doing, but I must be off to a worship service at KIBC (Kowloon International Baptist Church) which I've been attending! More to come soon, but let me leave you with some pictures of my time here in HK :)

Three Days To Go!
Hi! :) This is the first post in my Hong Kong journal! I am so excited and looking forward to studying in Hong Kong for 5 months, but I must admit it hasn't truly hit me yet that I will be away from home for that length of time. The longest I have been away is 2 weeks this past summer in China, not counting living at college which is 25 minutes away from home. I go to Rollins College and am in my third year as an International Relations major and Asian Studies minor. Going to Hong Kong is a dream come true and is perfect for my study path! I will be attending Hong Kong Baptist University taking around three or four Asian Studies courses as well as continuing my Mandarin studies and my Honors Thesis research through Independent Studies with Rollins. I also want to say that if it wasn't for the Freeman-Asia Awards Program that gave me a significant scholarship, this semester abroad wouldn't have been possible. Thank you Freeman-Asia!!
I have absolutely no idea what to expect once I step off the plane, but I know that I will have the most incredible experience. This truly is an opportunity of a lifetime!

If you don't know what Port Forwarding is yet, you might want to start by reading our What is Port Forwarding guide.
You might also be interested in our huge collection of Router Screenshots where you can see every page of every router that we know of.
For this guide you will need to know your MAC address. Take a look at our MAC Address guide if you need help finding out what your MAC address is.
To setup port forwarding on the Dell TrueMobile-2300 router your device needs to have a static IP address. You should complete one of the following steps first:
Now that you have setup a Static IP Address on your device, please enter the IP address that you assigned to your device here:
Now we need to know your routers IP address. You can find it a variety of ways.
It's ok if you don't know your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router's internal IP address. You can find it by doing one of the following:
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.2.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
Click the Ok button to log in to your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router.
Please visit our Default Dell Router Passwords page if the username and password shown below did not work for you.
If you can't login to your router because you forgot your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router username and password, use our How to Reset a Router Password guide to set your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router back to its factory settings.
If you are having trouble with this guide, then perhaps PFConfig may be your solution. PFConfig is a software tool that will automatically forward ports for your router to save you time and hassle.
First we need to make sure that your DVR is configured correctly. In the KGuard menu system you should see the following.
Go ahead and select Main Menu.
Now select Network
Make sure Type is set to Static, then make a note of the IP Address listed here. In the picture above the IP Address is listed as 192.168.001.100. Yours will be different. Write down the numbers that you see on your DVR. This is the address that you'll be forwarding the ports to.
Now that you are logged in to your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router you should see the following:
Click the Advanced Settings button near the top of the page.
The menu on the left should change. In this new menu, click Port Forward Settings.
Click the Add button near the right of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. KGuard KG-SHA116 requires you to forward the 80,9000 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forward Add menu and then click Submit.
|Service Name
|Incoming Ports From To
|Destination IP Address 192.168.2.
|Destination MAC Address :::::
|Destination Port From To
|Port Type
You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Port Forward Add page. Go ahead and enter those settings and then click Submit.
|Service Name
|Incoming Ports From To
|Destination IP Address 192.168.2.
|Destination MAC Address :::::
|Destination Port From To
|Port Type
And that is it! You are done!
Now that you have forwarded ports for KGuard KG-SHA116 on the Dell TrueMobile-2300 you should test to see if your ports are forwarded correctly.
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Open Port Check tool. Our Open Port Check tool is the only online port checking tool with Guaranteed Results.

If faciety was a word
I would use it all up
Make careful use of its subtleties
Artfully convey my message
With a calm and buoyant air.
So make no mistake and,
let detractors be damned.
Make up whole sentence patterns
Framed carefully around these bastard
ghosts of our vocabulary –
Clean and clear and kind.
But as it sits stilted on the tongue
Refusing neither to give nor go
I am left with awkward words
That weigh heavy on my heart.
I know of no reason why the words of our fathers
Should ever be used up.

Alright, so now that the Chrome OS is finally out, we can see how different they are. We also are reading about the many ways it can come together with Android. But while that might happen in the near future, Android is embarking on a journey where most mobile platforms have not gone before.
Android has become the chosen OS for all kinds of small form factor experiments. From touchscreen MIDs to full blown tablets, smartbooks and more. It has essentially replaced Windows CE in many cases. There are a lot of reasons for this but two of them are the most critical – price and ability.
If you are looking for the cost of working with Android, all you have to do is figure out how much your in-house development will be worth. That's because Google isn't going to charge you a penny. In fact, if you are a phone company and you use the standard version, they Google will actually pay you! They call it being less than free. As in charging in the negative. Why do it? Because Google earns crazy amounts from the mobile searches, simple!
So manufacturers are getting a fantastic software platform, for free. And this is software that is sophisticated enough to rival and eventually overtake the iPhone. It is something that these small companies could have never developed on their own and it usually would cost a lot to license something this good from another company. It's not like there aren't other equally free alternatives. It's just that they are nowhere nearly as good.
This brings us to the innate advantages that a mobile OS like this has for device makers. The basic premise of any modern mobile platform is that it will take up very little resources and will still provide great performance. Android is really good at this. It is nice and snappy when you need it to be and you can also make it into absolute eye-candy that consume more resource than is required. But it is basically meant to run on the average mobile processor.
So if you make it run on something that is like the Qualcomm Snapdragon, you are looking at something that really puts the 'Snap' in Snapdragon. Then comes the user interaction on Android.
A lot of companies have wanted to make tablets but most did not have the software expertise required for it. If you were a small hardware company and had limited capital, there was only enough money to develop the hardware. Software had to be licensed. But even then, it wouldn't be something made for a new generation tablet. So it would feel clunky and old. The end result would be brilliant hardware gone to waste.
Since Android was built from the ground up to compliment next-generation hardware, it is born-ready for projects like the Vega or the NTT Hikari. Then come the devices that are built for a specific purpose, like the eBook readers. The best example of it right now would be SpringDesign's Alex because of the way it implements Android. The secondary screen that it has fully utilized Android unlike the Nook from Barnes and Noble.
Then we have ARM chip toting smartbooks and UMPCs that are really overgrown MIDs with foldable screens full QWERTY keyboard. They have been using Windows CE so far but now they too are moving towards Android.
Thus over all, we looking at the beginnings of a revolution. We just have to wait a while longer for it to fully explode.

Real Madrid are ready to start another summer transfer saga involving Liverpool's Luis Suarez with a massive £76m offer, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
The Champions League winners were heavily linked with the Uruguayan last year, in an episode that almost saw him head away from Anfield.
Suarez actively chased a switch, citing a lack of top level European football as a major factor in his call, with Real his desired destination.
In the end the Spaniards snapped up Gareth Bale in a world record deal instead, leaving the Kop hero angling at a move to Arsenal.
WANT MORE? >> Liverpool transfer news | Latest transfer news
But Liverpool held firm to keep their man, who has since committed his future to the Merseysiders by penning a mega money contract and declaring his happiness at his current location.
But that has not deterred Real, who are keen to line him up alongside Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite their lavish spending in recent years, Los Blancos are prepared to offer £76m in the hope that Brendan Rodgers' side may relent.
Real are also willing to throw in Fabio Coentrao or Alvaro Morata – both of whom have been targets for Liverpool – to tempt them to sell.
First of all tell RM to do one. Secondly, if they want him we will consider a TRADE. Give us bale or c.ron and you can have him. I hope LFC follow this sort of strategy as money (state funded crooks) is no object to them. Going after THEIR best players scares them , so lets table that offer and watch them back off, FAST.
im plotting to make beyonce leave jay z for me, dont mean its gona happen! when a actual bid for suarez comes in and its 200 milliion then start writing a story! no one wants hear about plots.

Being named as an Executor of someone's estate is an honor, but it is also not a task to take lightly. It can be a difficult, complex job. An Executor is responsible for finalizing the affairs of someone who has died. Once appointed, an Executor has full authority and control of the probate assets. He or she must protect the property of the deceased person, make sure the estate pays any debts or taxes owed, and carry out the person's wishes regarding distribution of whatever assets are remaining. What an Executor can and cannot do may be specified in the decedent's Will. The time and effort involved in administering an estate varies with the size and complexity of the estate. However, even an Executor of a small estate has important duties that must be performed correctly otherwise he or she may be personally liable to the estate or its beneficiaries.
Following are some of the duties and liabilities of an Executor (these duties and liabilities also apply to an Administrator):
Executors must gather and compile a list of all of the assets and liabilities of the decedent. An appraiser should be hired to determine the value of assets as of the date of death and six months thereafter (if an estate tax may be payable) or upon sale if such sale takes place between these dates. The Executor takes custody of and manages the Probate Estate assets during the period of administration. The Executor must also protect the property from loss and assure that the property is kept safe. The period of administration can be lengthy, depending on the assets held in the estate and the disposition of those assets.
Existing bank accounts held in the sole name of the decedent or in joint name for convenience must be closed and the funds should be deposited into the estate account. The Executor must procure from the IRS an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the estate. The value of the accounts and any interest accrued and payable at date of death must be determined.
All stocks and bonds held in the sole name of the decedent must be transferred into the name of the estate. The valuation of publicly traded stock is the mean between the highest and lowest selling price on the date of death (if that date occurs on a trading date) or a weighted average if the date of death does not occur on a trading date. Accrued interest and dividends (as well as the value of the securities) are usually includible on the estate tax return and probate inventory. Closely held stock and partnership interests, if any, must be valued and transferred in accordance with the terms of any documents governing their transfer.
If there is real property (real estate), it should be appraised. If it is specifically devised (given to a person or entity under the will), the property should be transferred to the specific devisee as soon as the Executor or estate attorney has determined that the property is not liable for any contribution toward estate taxes or administration expenses. Insurance on the real estate must be reviewed and perhaps updated to reflect the current ownership. Arrangements for securing and safeguarding the property must be made – possibly changing the locks or adding a security system, depending on the ownership and disposition of the property.
The tangible personal property (property that can be touched and moved such as jewelry, furniture, automobiles, etc.) should be appraised and, if necessary, arrangements should be made for securing and safeguarding the property, including proper storage and insurance, until those assets are either sold or distributed to the beneficiaries as the deceased directed.
If the decedent owned life insurance policies, the claims should be processed by the beneficiary of the insurance. If the life insurance proceeds are payable to the decedent's estate, the proceeds should be deposited into the estate account. A Form 712 must be requested from each insurance company for all life insurance owned by the decedent or payable to the decedent's estate or trust. This form provides the value to be used on an estate tax return and becomes an attachment to the return.
If the decedent had any retirement, pension or profit plans, 401(k) plans, and/or individual retirement accounts, the benefits to which the decedent and his/her beneficiaries may be entitled should be ascertained, and the most beneficial payout should be determined. The value to include on any estate tax return must be determined as well.
Executors, once appointed, must pay bills such as legally enforceable debts of the decedent incurred before death, but not yet paid, such as utility expenses, outstanding real estate taxes, outstanding credit card bills, medical expenses to the extent not covered by insurance, and unpaid personal income taxes; funeral expenses, including the funeral home bill, costs of any reception after the funeral, sympathy cards, stamps for sympathy cards, long distance telephone calls, and the like (either directly or through reimbursement of family members); expenses of administration, including legal fees, accountant's fees, charges for death certificates, charges for certificates of court appointment, court filing fees, appraisal costs, and the like, incurred while the estate is ongoing.
Executors must have Federal and Massachusetts estate tax returns prepared if the estate assets reach a certain threshold. It is important to note that for estate tax purposes, the decedent's estate includes probate and non-probate assets such as joint tenancy assets, life insurance, 401K and IRA plans and assets held in trust. Federal and state estate tax returns (Forms 706, M-706, etc.) are due nine months after date of death. The returns can be put on extension for six more months, but any taxes are due and payable at nine months.
The estate tax returns reflect deductions allowable by the taxing entities to reduce the "taxable estate". Deductions are allowed for funeral expenses, debts, expenses of administration, items passing to a surviving spouse (if any) or to charities (if any). The Executor should consult with a tax attorney or accountant to discuss ways to minimize taxes, such as using disclaimers, timing distributions, reviewing for specific terms and possible flexibility, etc. This is often referred to as "post-mortem planning".
Once the returns are filed, the Executor waits for the taxing authorities to review the returns and issue "closing letters". Closing letters are the taxing authorities' agreement that any tax due has been paid. The authorities have up to three years from the date the return is filed to review the return, but typically they proceed with the review sooner – often within one year of receiving the return. Generally, until the closing letters are received, the estate remains open.
The estate is a separate taxable entity and the Executor must get a separate tax identification number from the IRS by completing Form SS-4. This number is also needed to open estate bank accounts as well as to transfer securities into the name of the estate if they are to be held for any length of time.
If estate assets generate income during the administration of the estate, an Executor must file fiduciary income tax returns (Federal Form 1041 and Massachusetts Form 2) if the estate has any taxable income or has gross income of $600 or more in any taxable year. Estate income tax returns must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year (April 15th if you use the calendar year). The entire tax due must be paid. After the second year, the Executor must file income tax estimates and make quarterly estimated tax payments.
An executor is also required to have the decedent's final income tax return (Federal Form 1040 and Massachusetts Form 1) prepared, even if the decedent paid no income taxes in recent years.
When a person dies, his taxable year ends on the date of his or her death, and his or her income and deductions are reported through that date. If the decedent was married when he or she died, the estate can join with the surviving spouse in filing a joint income tax return for the year in which the decedent died. Certain deductions may be taken on the decedent's final income tax return or claimed as an expense of administration on the federal estate tax return. An Executor should talk to a tax attorney or accountant about these elections.
If the decedent gave gifts over the annual exclusion amount (currently $13,000 in 2011) to any person (except, perhaps a spouse) in any year and did not file a gift tax return, the Executor is obligated to have a gift tax return prepared and filed.
An Executor is entitled to compensation for the work the Executor performs, subject to approval by the Probate Court. The amount of the fee is subject to a "reasonableness test." If an Executor chooses to be compensated for his or her duties, he or she must keep a detailed record of the tasks performed and the amount of time spent.
Any fee paid to an Executor is counted as income to that Executor and must be included in the Executor's income tax return. Executor fees can be deducted on the estate tax return, thus potentially lowering the tax due, if applicable.
The assets of the estate belong ultimately to the beneficiaries and not to the Executor. If there are specific pecuniary bequests (cash legacies) under the will, arrangements must be made to pay them from Probate Estate assets (unless the will specifies that they are payable from a trust). Cash payments under the will must be made within one year from date of death or interest will begin to accrue and be payable. Cash payments under a trust that terminates on the decedent's death must be paid within six months from date of death or interest will begin to accrue and be payable.
The rest of the Probate Estate must pass in accordance with the will – to individuals, charities or to a trust. The Executor is responsible for distributing that property, after paying administration expenses, funeral costs, debts and taxes under Federal law, amounts expended by Massachusetts under MassHealth, expenses of last illness, debts and taxes under state law, creditor claims and specific gifts under the will.
The Executor may make distributions to the beneficiaries as soon as they can be done safely. Distribution does not have to wait until the estate is closed. However, the Probate Estate should not be fully distributed before one year from date of death because creditors may file claims against the estate up to one year. An Executor is responsible if he or she distributes assts and then later finds out that he or she needs the assets to pay legitimate claims. Distribution to the beneficiaries of the residue of the estate typically occurs after both the Internal Revenue Service and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or other state) have issued estate tax closing letters accepting the estate tax returns. Depending on the situation, this can be anywhere from one to three years after the estate tax returns have been filed.
When carrying out these specific duties, the law expects an Executor to be impartial. The Executor owes fiduciary duties to anyone who has an interest in the estate and must act in the best interests of the estate. This means that an Executor cannot favor one person or himself or herself over others involved in the estate.
The administration of the estate generally needs to be commenced and concluded within a reasonable period of time. If an Executor fails to do this and, as a result, the beneficiaries under the will are exposed to any form of financial or pecuniary loss, he or she could be held liable for the loss.
An Executor is expected to administer the estate with care and prudence. An Executor is personally liable to ensure that payment of all valid creditor claims, including any taxation liabilities, are made. If an executor acts without due care and prudence, such as in the case of buying speculative securities or disposing of valuable assets substantially below market value, he or she could be held accountable.
An Executor is liable to the beneficiaries for any loss to the estate and for any gain the estate should have realized but did not, or if an Executor was negligent or intentionally did something he or she shouldn't have (or failed to do something he or she should have). For example, if the Executor mismanages the estate assets, even unintentionally, he or she can be held personally liable and may have to repay the estate for any losses. If the Executor fails to secure and protect the assets of the estate and it results in the assets being damaged, lost or stolen then (in the absence of having adequate insurance over the assets covering the loss) he or she could be held personally liable for the loss or, as the case may be, the reduction in the value of the assets in question. Similarly, if the Executor fails to properly manage, insure or repair real property (whether commercial or residential) he or she could be held liable for any losses including loss of rental income.
While Executors can take professional advice before making investment decisions, the ability to make these decisions is personal to the Executor and cannot be delegated. Therefore any improper delegation of Executor duties, such as giving investment advisors complete scope to make decisions in respect of and deal with the estate's investments without the Executor's supervision, could result in liability being imposed on the Executor. The same principle applies to allowing someone to freely manage the deceased's business or property portfolio, etc. If an Executor engages a professional to manage some aspect of the estate, the Executor must closely supervise the carrying out of those management functions.
An Executor is responsible for ensuring that the correct people benefit from the estate. If an Executor accidently make payments or distributions to the wrong people, he or she could be held personally liable to make good the damage caused by securing the return of the misplaced assets or compensating the beneficiaries accordingly.
Taking actions without the proper approval can also expose Executors to liability. Depending on the proposed action in question, an Executor may require the prior consent of beneficiaries, co-fiduciaries or even the Probate Court.
An Executor's liability is not limited to the extent of the deceased's estate; if the claim is more than the value of the assets still held in the estate, he or she will be personally liability for the shortfall.
This article is only a synopsis of the basic responsibilities and liabilities of an Executor. If you have any questions, you should consult with a qualified attorney before making any decisions.

Garage organization is not difficult nor is it expensive. It is however, essential if you want a clean space where everything is relatively easy to find. Whether you have a large garage or just a small space, there are many things that you can do to utilize that space and give yourself a bit of additional storage without taking up the area that you need for cars and other items.
For many, cleaning and organizing the garage is a mundane task that is so dreaded it simply never gets done. We have found a collection of different ways that you can easily and quickly get that garage in good order. Not only are these methods easy and effective, many of them will cost you nothing but a little time.
From hangers for your garden tools to adding a splash of color to brighten up your dull garage, we have just the tips that will make organizing and cleaning that area a joy and something that you will want to brag about when you are finished.
Hang Jars Under Shelves
Labels Make All the Difference
Any time you decide to begin organizing, it is important that you think about labeling things. Without labels you are not likely to know what goes in what container. You can use labels on shelves, boxes and plastic bins or for smaller items like sidewalk chalk, label small buckets and hang them from the wall or the front of a shelf. There are many ways that labels can help you to become more organized. Via: Iammommahearmeroar – Garage Organization Tips
Make a Pallet Bike Rack
Have old pallets that you need to get rid of? Why not make a bike rack to get your garage organized? Even if you don't have a couple of pallets laying around, they are really inexpensive and give you the perfect opportunity to better organize those bicycles. You just have to lean the pallets together, one on the ground and one on the wall. Then just park your bikes into the open sections. Via: Flickr
Use Nylon Tool Holders
Nylon tool holders on a pegboard give you the perfect place to store all sorts of things. You can hang your small garden shovels and other tools as well as brooms, mops and just about anything that is hang worthy. Add a pencil caddy to keep garden gloves organized and you will have a wall that contains everything you need when it comes time to get outside and get that garden going. Via: BHG – Hooked on Holders
Great Tool Storage Ideas
Magnetic strips are great for tool storage. If you have garden trowels or other items that you need to keep handy, you can add magnetic strips to a shelf or the wall to keep these tools within reach. You can also put many tools on hooks on a pegboard or keep them in a labeled plastic tote for better organization. Via: BHG – Organize this: garage gear!
10 Ways to Organize the Garage
Whether you are looking to keep tools neat and tidy, need a solution for bikes and other large items or you simply want a great way to clean up, there are a number of ways that you can organize your garage. Shelves are always great, especially when you add labeled totes. You can also use pegboards, hooks and even build a recycling center from a few strips of wood and plastic bins. Via: Babble – 10 Ways to Organize the Garage
Create a Garden Center
Dividing all of your storage into zones is a great way to really get organized. You can easily create a garden center by simply adding metal shelving and hooks. The hooks are great for storing garden tools and you can keep corral pots and other items on the shelves. A magnetic message board helps you to keep track of planting and harvesting schedules. Via: BHG – Garden Zone
Create a Workbench Space
You can build a workbench out of a few pieces of leftover wood and when you add a pegboard, you can get your space perfectly organized. Hang baskets from the pegboard to keep smaller items in place and you can even hang plants and other things from it for décor and organization in one project.Via: Thedesignfiles – Kim Victoria
6 Garage Zones for Maximum Organization
The zone system works well for keeping your garage organized. Instead of simply putting everything together on a shelf, create different zones based on what you use certain items for and how often. Frequently used things for instance, could go into the same zone. Larger items should be grouped together and so on. This will help you to keep everything in its place and ensure that you have a place for everything. Via: Easyclosets – 6 Garage Zones for Maximum Organization
Create Rolling Cabinets for Tool Storage
Tools are the most unorganized items in most garages. If you have a lot of tools, you may find that you have little room for anything else. Creating rolling cabinets for storing those tools is a great way to save space and keep things neat and tidy. You just roll the cabinet out when you need something and keep it neatly closed when you don't. Via: Hometalk – I finally got tired of having all my tools scattered all over my garage

Migrating an App to a Sandbox
An app that is not sandboxed places its support files in locations that are inaccessible to a sandboxed version of the same app. For example, the typical locations for support files are shown here:
As you can see, the sandbox location for the
Application Support directory is within an app's container—thus allowing the sandboxed app unrestricted read/write access to those files. If you previously distributed your app without sandboxing and you now want to provide a sandboxed version, you must tell OS X to move your support files into their new, sandbox-accessible locations.
When a user launches any app, before the app starts running, OS X checks to see if the app is sandboxed. If so, OS X checks to see if a sandbox container directory exists for that particular app within the user's
Library/Containers folder. If the app's container directory already exists, then no migration is needed, and your app begins running immediately.
However, if the app's container directory does not exist, OS X creates the missing sandbox container directory and then migrates the per-user preference file for your app, along with any files that you have specifically listed in the app's container migration manifest.
A container migration manifest is a special property list file containing an array of strings that identify the support files and directories you want to migrate when a user first launches the sandboxed version of your app. The file must be named
container-migration.plist, and must appear in the
Contents/Resources directory within your app bundle.
For each file or directory you specify for migration, you have a choice of allowing the system to place the item appropriately in your container or explicitly specifying the destination location.
OS X moves—it does not copy—the files and directories you specify in a container migration manifest. That is, the files and directories migrated into your app's container no longer exist at their original locations. In addition, container migration is a one-way process: You are responsible for providing a way to undo it, should you need to do so during development or testing. The section Undoing a Migration for Testing provides a suggestion about this.
Creating a Container Migration Manifest
To support migration of app support files when a user first launches the sandboxed version of your app, create a container migration manifest.
Add a property list file to the Xcode project.
The Property List template is in the OS X "Resource" group in the file template dialog.
Add a
Moveproperty to the container migration manifest.
Moveproperty contains an array of files to move into your container directory. This property is usually the lone top-level key in a container migration manifest. You add it to the empty file as follows:
Right-click the empty editor for the new
.plistfile, then choose Add Row.
In the Key column, enter
Moveas the name of the key.
You must use this exact casing and spelling.
In the Type column, choose
Optionally add a
Symlinkproperty to the container migration manifest.
Symlinkproperty contains an array of files to link into your container directory. The resulting symbolic links in your container directory point to files elsewhere.
Add a string to the
Symlink) array for the first file or folder you want to migrate.
For example, suppose you want to migrate your
Application Supportdirectory (along with its contained files and subdirectories) to your container. If your directory is called
App Sandbox Quick Startand is currently within the
~/Library/Application Supportdirectory, use the following string as the value for the new property list item:
${ApplicationSupport}/App Sandbox Quick Start
No trailing slash character is required, and space characters are permitted. The search-path constant in the path is equivalent to
~/Library/Application Support. This constant is described, along with other commonly used directories, in Use Variables to Specify Support-File Directories.
Similarly, add additional strings to identify the original (before sandboxing) paths of additional files or folders you want to migrate.
When you specify a directory to be moved, keep in mind that the move is recursive—it includes all the subdirectories and files within the directory you specify.
Before you first test a migration manifest, provide a way to undo the migration, such as suggested in Undoing a Migration for Testing.
In the Finder, open two windows as follows:
In one window, view the contents of the
In the other window, view the contents of the directory containing the support files named in the container migration manifest—that is, the files you want to migrate.
Build and run the Xcode project.
Upon successful migration, the support files disappear from the original (nonsandbox) directory and appear in your app's container.
If you want to alter the arrangement of support files during migration, use a slightly more complicated
.plist structure. Specifically, for a file or directory whose migration destination you want to control, provide both a starting and an ending path. The ending path is relative to the
Data directory in your container. In specifying an ending path, you can use any of the search-path constants described in Use Variables to Specify Support-File Directories.
If your destination path specifies a custom directory (one that isn't part of a standard container), the system creates the directory during migration.
The following task assumes that you're using the Xcode property list editor and working with the container migration manifest you created earlier in this chapter.
In the container migration manifest, add a new item to the
Symlink) array.
In the Type column, choose Array.
Add two strings as children of the new array item.
In the top string of the pair, specify the origin path of the file or directory you want to migrate.
In the bottom string of the pair, specify the destination (sandbox) custom path for the file or directory you want to migrate.
File migration proceeds from top-to-bottom through the container migration manifest. Take care to list items in an order that works. For example, suppose you want to move your entire
Application Support directory as-is, except for one file. You want that file to go into a new directory parallel to
Application Support in the container.
For this approach to work, you must specify the individual file move before you specify the move of the
Application Support directory—that is, specify the individual file move higher in the container migration manifest. (If
Application Support were specified to be moved first, the individual file would no longer be at its original location at the time the migration process attempted to move it to its new, custom location in the container.)
Undoing a Migration for Testing
When testing migration of support files, you may find it necessary to perform migration more than once. To support this, you need a way to restore your starting directory structures—that is, the structures as they exist prior to migration.
One way to do this is to make a copy of the directories to migrate, before you perform a first migration. Save this copy in a location unaffected by the migration manifest. The following task assumes you have created this sort of backup copy.
Manually copy the files and directories—those specified in the manifest—from your backup copy to their original (premigration) locations. (Be careful not to remove the files from your backup copy as you do so.)
Delete your app's container.
The next time you launch the app, the system recreates the container and migrates the support files according to the current version of the container migration manifest.
An Example Container Migration Manifest
Listing 4-1 shows an example manifest as viewed in a text editor.
Listing 4-1 An example container migration manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
This manifest specifies the migration of two items from the user's
Library directory to the app's container. For the first item,
MyConfiguration.plist, only the origin path is specified, leaving it to the migration process to place the file appropriately.
For the second item,
MyDataStore.xml, both an origin and a custom destination path are specified.
${Library} and
${ApplicationSupport} portions of the paths are variables you can use as a convenience. For a list of variables you can use in a container migration manifest, see Use Variables to Specify Support-File Directories.
Use Variables to Specify Support-File Directories
When you specify a path in a container migration manifest, you can use certain variables that correspond to commonly used support file directories. These variables work in origin and destination paths, but the path that a variable resolves to depends on the context. Refer to Table 4-1.
Variable resolves to
Origin path
Home-relative path (relative to the
Destination path
Container-relative path (relative to the
The variables you can use for specifying support-file directories are described in Table 4-2. For an example of how to use these variables, see Listing 4-1.
You can also use a special variable that resolves to your app's bundle identifier, allowing you to conveniently incorporate it into an origin or destination path. This variable is

The Florida freshwater fishing forecast for the last day of April and first three days of May will have good weather as the new moon that arrived yesterday progresses toward the first-quarter phase that occurs next Tuesday along with the lunar orbit apogee.
The weather forecast for the next four days will look more like the rainy season that starts in May and or June. However, it won't last because starting Sunday, next week's forecast predicts sunny days with no rain for the entire week. So be expecting afternoon rains from today into this weekend.
The moonrise, combined with the sunrise, will produce a very good early morning fishing experience and the sunset and moonset will likewise cause an excellent fishing experience as the sunset occurs.
Depending on the weather situation for our area of the state in the early afternoon hours, this moon overhead period could also be very good. A stable unmoving barometer will do nothing to enhance the feeding action, but if there is any movement at all either up or down, expect fish to adjust slightly and therefore feed more than they would otherwise.
The water temperature is now in the perfect feeding zone for the year with, a mid-70s to low 80s degree range occurring. All fish are feed heavily right now on a daily basis, so whether you like to fish in the early mornings, or midday, or late evening hours, you should have very good success rates.
Looking ahead to the month of May, I believe the best fishing days will occur from May 9-15 and again from May 24-29. And the best sunrise and sunset fishing days will be from May 17-19. So if you thinking of planning a fishing trip or hiring a fishing guide, mark these days on your calendar.
The major feeding migration of the day occurs over the next four days from noon to 4 p.m. The peak period will happen an hour before the moon overhead period and an hour afterward. A rating of 6-7 is expected but will diminish slightly as the weekend arrives.
The minor fishing migrations of the day occur from 6:30-10 a.m. and from 7-9:30 p.m. The peak periods will happen just after the sunrise in the mornings and just after the sunset in the evenings. Peak periods start out today in the five range but will improve slightly daily and arrive at a seven rating by Sunday.
Lake Istokpoga's level is at 38.85 feet above sea and slowly dropping with one gate at the S68 spillway open at one foot and flowing 185 cubic feet per second. By June 1 the lake must be below 38.25 feet above sea level, which is the high pool mark. 37.50 feet above sea level is the possible low pool mark for hurricane season.
For the summer months I am offering full day (6 hours minimum) bass fishing trips for two anglers or one, with everything included (equipment, artificial baits, and fuels) on all lakes in Highlands County for $250.
For the past two weeks, large bass have been hard to come by for most anglers. However, huge bass are still to be caught by a few who happen to be in the right fishing hole at the right time on Lake Istokpoga. Bass between 3-6 pounds have been a constant daily with between 8-12 bass per fishing trip being caught. Two or three times per week I've put 8-9 pound bass in the boat, but the double digit pound bass I believe, are too full to select an artificial bait, being able to eat natural bait fish and crawfish non stop.
And since I wrote about bait colors last Sunday, I have seen Istokpoga anglers using successfully the follow colors to catch bass: black and blue, dark blue, Junebug, red shad, green pumpkin, watermelon red, and white. All anglers informed me that they were catching plenty of bass with a few catching trophy-sized bass. Bait types were, worms, swimbaits, jigs, crawdads, spinnerbaits and chatter-baits.
However, all said they were slowly swimming their selected baits through vegetation, allowing a slight pause followed by a slow retrieve speed, keeping the bait as close to the bottom as possible. The smaller bass were caught at slightly higher speeds and the larger bass caught with slower speeds and pauses.
The only bait selection that I found didn't work with my theory on colors were the white chatter type jigs which had chrome colored clacking blades on them. I don't believe the color was visible to the bass, but the loud rhythmic clacking sound and vibrations enabled bass to accurately strike the baits.
As Buck Perry once said, "bait-retrieve depth and speed is the key to successful fishing — color, size, and action are nothing more than aids to enhance depth and speed."

Average Salary: $53,880
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $2,249,000
There's not a ton of money in editing, but you can live quasi-comfortably—around $50k-$55k a year on average. Of course, opportunities are there to move up the ranks and make more at big publications or publishing houses, but you'll have to edit your little buns off to get there.
Buns in the process of being edited off.
Some editors–those working at major national newspapers or magazines, or for hugely successful book publishers—can actually make around $100k, but don't count on it. More likely is that you struggle to find a position where you can manage to scrape together at least $30k. And no matter how talented an editor you are, editing those numbers on your paychecks won't do much good. Those banks are pretty tough to fool.

Brother Ali's battle for 'America'
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER | Updated 10/5/2012
Minneapolis' Muslim rapper takes to the streets -- and might take a beating -- for his argumentative new album.
Seated amid the office-space denizens rushing in and out of the City Center Starbucks, Brother Ali at once looks more out of the ordinary than usual, but somehow more anonymous. The downtown Minneapolis coffee shop is a good place to not get recognized as one of Minnesota's famous rappers.
Or infamous, some might now say.
"I just got a message from a guy on Facebook who served in Afghanistan," he says, looking up from his smartphone, where he's also checking the number of YouTube views for his controversial new video (50,000 in just a few days). Solemnly, he says, "The dude said he's coming out to the Boston show to drop me on my face."
Welcome to Brother Ali's world circa 2012. His sales and page views are as strong as ever, and so are his personal convictions. He was arrested for them in June at an Occupy Homes protest. He aired them on the Huffington Post three weeks ago in a widely debated essay, "The Intersection of Hip-Hop and Homophobia."
Mostly, though, Ali poured those pesky morals all over his provocative fourth album, "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color," which brings his tour back to town -- hopefully, with his albino-skinned face intact -- for shows Friday and Saturday at First Avenue.
Two days before he hit the road with a new live band -- and two weeks before violent anti-American protests arose in the Middle East -- Ali talked at length about how his Muslim faith and frustrations with America shaped the album, and the cover photo that prompted the Boston threat.
"This album is my prayer for America," he explained of the artwork, which shows the rapper kneeling on a U.S. flag in a Muslim prayer pose.
"Unless you are absolutely convinced that all of Islam is against you as an American, you should only see it as me treating the flag reverently."
Love it or hate it, the cover image trumpets the fact that "Mourning in America" is not like Ali's last record, "Us," a complacent-sounding effort that reflected his new marriage and newfound success. Nor is it a repeat of his 2007 breakout, "The Undisputed Truth," an autobiographical album that chronicled his trouble-fraught transformation from a social outcast and a homeless, struggling artist into a single father and Muslim.
There was plenty of recent turmoil in Ali's life that could have defined the new album. His father killed himself. His friend and fellow indie-rap star, Mikey "Eyedea" Larsen, died of an overdose. His marriage almost fell apart during a 10-month tour promoting "Us."
"A lot of crying," is how Ali summed it up.
All of those woes are covered wham-bam style in the breathlessly paced song "Stop the Press," which attempts to get Ali's personal story out of the way so he can tackle bigger issues.
"Any one of those topics probably could've made up an entire song on their own," Ali said, "but then the record would have wound up being 'The Undisputed Truth, Part 2.' My fans might've liked that, but I didn't want that."
'I'm challenging myself'
If there's anything in hip-hop that "Mourning in America" mimics, it's the fiery sociopolitical tone of such groups as Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions. While Jay-Z and Kanye West spent last year's "Watch the Throne" album bragging about how rich and famous they are, Ali revives those '80s rappers' defense of America's lower-class citizens. He even based his album title on President Ronald Reagan's 1984 re-election slogan.
"Get the wolves off the sheep," he growls in "Fajr," one of his most ferocious tracks ever. In the cooler-headed, soulful gem "Work Everyday" he portrays the woes of the unemployed ("Greed could never leave well enough alone / They keep on squeezing till we bleed from every bone"). And in "Only Life I Know" -- one of the songs spiked with Impressions-style horns from Ali's new band -- he takes on health care politics and government spending priorities:

I write to correct the impression in your Monday article on the foreclosure deadline for the Everett Mall owner. ("Everett Mall's owner faces July 9 foreclosure deadline.") It misled in an important respect, to wit, the mall in fact consists of more than one parcel that are owned by different companies. While it is true that the portion of the mall owned and/or managed by Steadfast Commercial Properties is subject to foreclosure, the part of the mall owned by CDSN LLC, a C.D. Stimson Company subsidiary, including the Macy's store, the Goodyear Tire Store and the retail building with a Vitamin Shoppe, Jimmy Johns, etc. is not in foreclosure and there is no risk of any such event.

MUMBAI: The Indian equity markets reached a new landmark on Monday as the overall market capitalisation of the stocks traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange closed at Rs 10,00,593 crore or Rs 10 lakh (1m) crore.
This is the first time the 1m-crore level has been reached since '01, before which data is not available.
One has to note that the market cap considered here is only the traded market cap. This means that if a scrip is not traded on a particular day then the market cap of that scrip will not figure in the overall calculations. This is different from the entire market cap, which would include both traded as well as untraded scrips. Also, since past data is not available, this market cap cannot be compared with the situation during the last boom in 1999-2000.

You can imagine the jolt that this will give any attacker, If the shock is continued for 2 or more seconds , the attacker will loose muscle control and collapse. Shoking the attacker anywhere on their body is effective although the ideal place to shock you attacker is in the chest , throat or head, these high powered Stun Guns penetrate clothing and do not give off residual charge (wont shock after use). The sound it makes is scary enough!

The other night, while I was up with insomnia, I started making a "You Suck" list. It's just one of many lists that go through my head when my other non-sleeping choices are to:
- Make a list from the other 100 lists regarding everything from "Brilliant blog posts that come to me…at 2 a.m." to "Stuff we need for summer that's probably already sold out" to "Friends I finally remember to call…at 2 a.m."
- Turn on the light and read (which is out of the question because while my eyes are too tired to open, I still can't sleep)
- Listen for odd sounds in the house and turn them into "something"
- Think my novel through to the end (which is stupid because it changes every time I start writing it)
- Invent outlandish and horrible things that could happen to the kids
- Get myself worked up about dead people (like my mom or my cousin who drowned)
- Listen to my husband and the dog compete for who can make the weirdest noises
Anyway, the "You Suck" list is the one where you think about all the stuff that other, more competent humans have achieved while you sit wallowing in your mud puddle and eating worms because you can't seem to pull it together (whatever "it" is). Because, clearly, you suck. And you're not good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, nobody likes you.
Earlier that night, I'd made the giant mistake of violating what should be the number one rule of the universe: never compare yourself to someone else. Unfortunately, when you write, blog, and have a Facebook page, comparisons sort of jump out at you around every corner, so it's kind of like asking someone not to notice those billboards in Vegas with half-naked women on them. You may try your hardest not to look because lord knows it'll just make you annoyed, but in the end, you just can't help yourself (and I'm talking about me here — I'm under no illusions that you boys even try…).
So I laid in my bed, thinking about the different people who were promoting their new books or had somehow gotten 250K Facebook followers in two years or had one of their posts go viral and watched their sites explode. And it made me ask those same old questions. Am I not working hard enough? Am I not a good enough writer? Is my focus totally off? And the ever-present. . . What the hell is wrong with me?
So the next day, I was cruising the grocery store and ran into a friend — an "In real life" and "Very in touch on Facebook" friend. And she started in about how my blog was doing so well and kicking butt on Facebook and "What are you crazy? Of course you're doing great — you have more than a thousand followers!"
So I of course told her about the "You Suck" list. And it turns out, from her vantage point, I have it all pulled together. I'm workin' it from all sides, writing like a madwoman, and know exactly what I'm doing. She on the other hand, wishes she could figure out what to do with her sucky life…
And that's when it hit me (and sadly, this has hit me many times before but I can't seem to make it stick). So many of us look good on the outside. But we're all so screwed up and crazy when you open the door. If we could just remember that no one's life is easy, simple, or pain-free, we'd probably all sleep a lot easier at night.
Or, at the very least, move on to listening for weird sounds and thinking about dead people.

I recently started the couch to 5k program. Ive done 1 min run, 1.5min walk and it took me 2 weeks to get a lil bit comfortable with it. I decided to move on to 1min run with 1 min walk but it turns out i cover a shorter distance with this routine. I think its because 1 min running is harder and i compromise for it on my wlaking speed. Has this happened to anyone. With the 1min run and 1.5 min walk i covered 2.5k. With 1min run and 1 min walk i covered 2.3k. And Im finding it really hard to get comfrtable with the 1 min run 1 min walk routine. Why am I experiencing a decrease in my distance and why am I noticing very small gains in my stamina?
How fast are you running? Maybe you need to slow down your run. Dont think of it as running, think of it as jogging very slowly. Once your jogging your goal distance you can start improving your pace.
"Try different things, until you find a routine that works for your physique, metabolism, time constraints, etc. Then train smart, with consistency and intensity, and you will be successful." Iron Charles http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/IronCharles/
I can only speak for myself but my stamina was very slow in building up also. Part of it I am sure has to do with our fitness level when we start exercising. Don't get discouraged. It took me about 3 months to be able to run 3 miles without stopping and I actually did that for the first time during a race but was unable to do it again for at least another month. So you see you are not abnormal, unless we both are, and don't worry about your distance or your time. You are moving and that is the most important part.

This. In fact, the first three 5k's I did I had to walk a little of it too. It took me a long time to get up to running 3 miles straight without it really feeling right. There is so much at play with your level of fitness and it takes time to build it all up. In the time from when I started the program even to now, there are certain times and mileages where I feel I will never break through that wall and be able to go further or faster... and then it just happens. And you dont look back.
Just keep at it. It will happen.

It takes time for the body to adjust from inactivity to activity. It took me about six months of walking and doing some treadmill running before I could even start C25K! Then it took another six months to get to the point where I could run 30 minutes nonstop "comfortably." Three months later I completed a half marathon using run/walk and felt great at the finish. I'm now preparing for a full marathon in February - but running is still not "easy" every day. Some days feel great and I can run for extended periods of time without walk breaks, other days are a little tougher and I have to adjust with more frequent breaks in order to cover the distance. But in the grand scheme of things - who cares?
Give yourself a pat on the back for getting off the couch! In time your endurance will increase. It wont happen in a straight line, but it will happen over time. So keep putting one foot in front of the other and congratulations on tackling the challenge of C25K. Good luck in your journey!

He'll take view of Ted Nugent
Published: Saturday, April 10, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.

To The Editor: This letter is in response to the negative slant that the paper has given the shooting death of the local Hispanic man that attacked them.
Ted Nugent summed it up in one of his morning talk shows, "If you're running from the police, they have every right to shoot you." I'm sure he would say this also includes if a person is fighting with the police too. I fully agree with the Motor City madman.

Merritt Parkway, innovative and widely copied American automobile highway built between Greenwich and Stratford, Conn., in the 1930s. The Merritt Parkway, a limited-access highway with two traffic lanes in each direction, was contemporary with the German autobahn system, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and other limited-access highways but was outstanding in realizing the importance of aesthetics, achieved through a combination of an almost continuously curving roadway and attractive wooded and landscaped right-of-way. The parkway's extension inside New York state is the Hutchinson River Parkway and, in Connecticut, the Wilbur Cross Parkway.
