Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
i have been into car audio ever since i could drive and tried a whole bunch of names jl audio, rockford, alpine, polk,audio control to name a few. i have a ford with the sync radio which does everything i need but sound good. so i picked out my speakers i wanted (polk mm) front and rear, the amp alpine v90 5 channel (great amp) and a jl 13" shallow for the sub (love this sub) to hook everything up to the sync radio i decided to use the audio control lcqi for the eq's. after getting it hooked up professionally i was not impressed, i tried changing the gains and level matching and messed with the amps gains and filters and could not get the sound i was looking for after searching the internet and watching youtube videos i decided to try the rockford fosgate three sixty.3 i unhooked the audio control and installed the 360. Watch the online videos they are very helpful. i understood the operation and set up of this unit (its not the easiest to install) after installing it on a windows 7 laptop with the power cord plugged with the software running just plug the usb cable in and start to configure the unit, after i was done setting up the filters and letting it do the auto analyzing and leveling there was a night and day difference in sound, my wife could here the difference, everything sounded even no harshness or frequencies too loud. the alpine v90's gains are all the way down and the filters are off all dsp is from the 360. now i keep my laptop in the car.
Pros: after watching the videos. Everything. all controls can be done through the laptop you can setup and vehicle with any radio oem or aftermarket. there is no background noise, hiss, or pops very quiet and clean
Cons: the price

Following the most successful season in the programs history, awards and accolades roll in for Meridian Community College women's soccer Coach Alex George and his Lady Eagles.
George has been honored with the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges Women's Soccer Coach of the Year award.
George, who has been the head coach since the beginning of the Lady Eagles soccer program in 2002, led the Lady Eagles to their first ever postseason playoff appearance this year. MCC captured their first ever MACJC South Division title and then went on to win the MACJC State Championship.
The Lady Eagles "Cinderella" season came to a dramatic end in a double overtime/shootout semifinal game of the Region 23 tournament against eventual champion Hinds. MCC ended the season with the program best record at 15-2-2.
Lady Eagles McKenzie Butler and Holly Head were both named to the All Region 23 team.
Butler, a sophomore from Pontotoc, has been a mainstay on the Lady Eagles offense for two seasons.
"I feel it has been a great honor to play for Meridian. I have made some really good friends and most of all this college gave me a chance to continue playing the game I love while getting a premier education," said Butler.
"I couldn't ask of anything more."
Butler was also named the NJCAA women's soccer Player of the Week back on October 10 after scoring five goals and four assists in two wins over East Central and Southwest Mississippi.
"I can think of no one else that deserves this recognition more," said George.
"McKenzie has outstanding work ethic, total dedication to the game, and a personality that never quits."
Head, a freshman from Vicksburg, compiled 27 goals in 18 games with 13 assists on the year.
"Holly, like all our girls, will do whatever it takes to make this team work," said George.
"Her relentless drive to win separates her from average and places her in a class of her own. We salute Holly Head and all of the girls of MCC for a fantastic 2007 season."

We All Learn Differently
Today I am excited to have a guest post for you from Dianne Miller, author of The Little Bunny Series. Read her great post about different learning styles, and the visit her blog to get some great freebies and other resources.
When my first daughter was six months old, I popped her in a bouncy chair and taped gift bows to the tray in front of her. She spent hours patting and crunching the bows. I changed them out as they became tattered. It was an endless parade of colors and textures to entertain her.
When my second daughter was six months old, I popped her in the same bouncy chair and enthusiastically taped gift bows to the tray. She looked at them. Her big brown eyes took it all in and then moved around the room. The bows never enticed her.
At their earliest ages my two daughters had completely different learning styles. The learning differences would stay with them through their entire education.
The older daughter loved to do things, scooping up snails in the creek and biking around town with friends.
My younger daughter loved to reflect, reading long book series and playing quietly with dolls. The older one went on to win science fairs and the younger one took Latin for six years.
There are seven different learning styles:
-Visual, also called spatial, prefers to learn with pictures.
-Musical, also called aural, prefers to learn with sound and music.
-Verbal, also called linguistic, prefers to learn with spoken and written words.
-Physical, also called kinesthetic, prefers to learn with movement and experience.
-Logical, also called mathematical, prefers to learn using logic and systems.
-Social, prefers to learn in groups.
-Solitary, prefers to learn alone.
We all have a mix of learning styles. But usually one is our strongest. My elder daughter is obviously kinesthetic and my younger daughter is logical. As an artist and children's book author and illustrator, I am gangbusters visual.
Our school systems have made leaps and bounds in the last twenty years addressing these different learning styles. Learning differences are openly discussed and lesson plans are written to embrace them. But the very nature of learning to read, write and do arithmetic favors the logical and verbal learners. Once we observe how our children learn, we can incorporate fun learning games into homework and study time.
My older daughter had a terrible time adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. Until one day I drew the number line on the front walk and had her step out the math problems. When we reached subtracting a negative, she said "Don't tell me, I know it." She turned from facing forward to add to facing backwards to subtract and then turned around again to face forwards to subtract a negative. Not only did she get the answer correct, she understood the reason it was correct.
Here are a few fun, easy things to do with your preschooler to help discern and encourage their different learning strengths.
- Clap the numbers as you count, 1 clap, 2 clap clap; physical, logical and musical learning.
- Play a game of opposites as you run errands, we're in the car, we're out of the car; physical, verbal and logical learning.
- Sing silly songs, both the classics and ones you make up; musical and verbal learning.
- Play eye spy, "I spy with my little eye a red balloon"; visual and verbal learning.
- Read signs aloud wherever it is fun; verbal learning.
- Pour sand, sprinkles or glitter into a tray and draw letters and numbers; physical, visual, logical and verbal learning.
- Whenever there is a number of items add and subtract them, three strawberries plus two strawberries is five strawberries; physical and logical learning.
Over time your child's learning style will start to become apparent. Although the schools are too overburdened to create a curriculum just for your child, you can reinforce what they are learning at school with fun activities at home that suit their learning strengths.
Dianne Miller is a landscape painter who lives in Virginia with her husband and two daughters. Her work includes the Little Bunny series written for her children when they were preschoolers. The simply written and illustrated books gently guide Little Bunny through the challenges of life. You can find tons of original, free printables and the Little Bunny series at:

Assombalonga, on loan from Watford, bagged a brace in Saturday's 3-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge to take his tally to four goals in six appearances.
The forward, 19, arrived on a month-long deal last month but as that arrangement prepares to expire this weekend, he is open to continuing his development at Roots Hall.
"I don't mind staying," Assombalonga told the club's official website. "I am a Southend player at the moment and I'll speak to the gaffer about what happens next.
"I want to play football, score goals and get 90 minutes under my belt each week so this is a good place to do that."
Speaking after his double downed Dagenham, Assombalonga added: "I could have scored four of five goals as the chances kept on coming but I didn't take them. I've never scored a hat-trick as I keep getting braces. I was hoping it would be the day I got my first one but it wasn't to be."

text: The writer of the recent letter entitled, "98 percent Shouldn't Pay for 2 percent Tax Breaks" is sadly misinformed about the source of current tax revenues. Indeed, according to IRS information, the top 1 percent income earners pay 39 percent of the total federal income taxes! And according to The Wall Street Journal, "In 1980 when the top income tax rate was 70 percent, the richest 1 percent paid only 19 percent of all income taxes. Now with the top rate at 35 percent, they pay more than double that share." Also, 97 percent of all income taxes are being paid by 50 percent of the income earners. So, there is no 98 percent and that is the problem. Too many Americans are taking from the federal government and not paying anything in as "income taxes" (not to be confused with FICA taxes).

Safe House (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) by Andrew Vachss
Safe House offers up Vachss's repertoire of repeat characters. The most fascinating are Burke's prison "family," the Prof, Max the silent, the Mole, Michelle, Clarence, Mama, and, of course, Burke himself, who is as hard-edged as ever. The family's willingness to help one another, even die for one another, is the emotional string that ties the books together. There are also two new female characters, Vyra, the affluent Jewish housewife and Crystal Beth, half Inuit, half Irish safe house madam. Though not as believable as their male counterparts, Vyra and Crystal Beth have powerful secrets of their own and add a soft, human element to the story.
Like other Vachss novels, Safe House embraces the dirty, grim life of the ex-con for hire. The most compelling aspect of Safe House is Vachss's no-holds-barred writing style. He spares nobody's feeling and minces no words in this rough, gritty and often painfully raw crime story. --Mara Friedman

Now I'm looking for a chance to boot into a single user mode, but
boot dksc(0,1,0)/unix init S
seems to start up normal .... until it hangs again.
BTW: wasn't there a 4 finger trick to reboot a sgi? It is probably a bad
idea to switch it off and on again to try the next thing.
Any hint?

The University of West Alabama's bid to reach to the Gulf South Conference Men's Basketball Tournament fell short with a 69-56 setback to in-state rival Montevallo on Saturday at Pruitt Hall. The winner of the contest earned the final spot from the GSC East into the league event.
With the 13-point win, the Falcons (12-15, 5-7 GSC) avenged a 73-62 win by the Tigers on UM's home floor. The Purple and Gold turned in a 55 percent shooting night and forced 18 UWA (10-17, 3-9 GSC) miscues in the affair. The Falcons started hot from the floor and never looked back, starting the game shooting 63 percent in the opening half. UM pushed its lead out to 11-2 at the 15:32 mark of the first half and expanded out to as many as 15 points on three occasions and carried that margin into the halftime break at 39-24.
Anthony Brown led the offensive output for UM with a game-high 17 points. Terrill Humphrey, who did not play in the first meeting with UWA, finished with 16 points.
Junior Tyler Roden came off the bench to lead the Red and White in scoring with nine points, all on three-pointers. Three Tigers added eight points apiece – Brian Murphy, Layton Knight and Cavin Payton. The setback closes the book on the 2007-08 season with a final mark of 10-17 and 3-9 in GSC competition. Prior to the contest, UWA honored its four seniors – Michael Billings, Knight, Abdoulaye N'diaye and Taige Adderley.

Skill Level Beginner
In the previous video, we saw how easy it is to enter headings and even body text in Outline View. Now we will look at how you can rearrange an outline as you change your mind about its organization. While you were waiting for this video to start, I was very busy and built up our outline to add more headings. This is what I have got so far. They're a bunch of changes that we need to make to this outline. First we have decided that the new products need to be listed in alphabetical order, and there are two ways that we can change the order. So that's this area down here.
One way we can do this is with the Up and Down arrows up in the ribbon. So I am going to click right in front of Lemon-infused Olive Oil, because I want that above Mandarin Orange-infused Olive Oil and I will go up here to the Ribbon and I will click this Up button, and what that does is that moves that entire heading up one notch. Another way we can do this though is by dragging and dropping. So if I position my mouse pointer on this little button in front of Basil-infused Olive Oil and I drag up, as I drag, you can see a line where it will go when I release it.
I want it right up here at the top. When I release it, it moves up there. And I can do that again for the Garlic Olive Oil, and that puts them in alphabetical order. Next we have decided that the Staff and everything under it should be moved out of the Introduction section and into its own section. And again, I can do that with buttons or I can do that with drag-and-drop. So what I need to do is I need to click the button in front of Staff and that selects Staff and everything under it. And what I want to do is move it into its own major section, so what I really want to do is I want to promote it.
Now I can do that by either clicking the Promote button like this or let me just demote that and get it back there, I can press Shift+Tab and that will move it out. So either way will promote it. And notice that it promotes them all and it maintains the relationship between all of them. Now the problem here is we have moved it out to Level 1 heading, but Feedback is still part of the Introduction. So what I need to do here is I need to move Feedback up under Purpose, right above Staff. So I am going to click on that and I can just drag it up.
We have also decided that we need to put Planned Products under New Products. So again, I can click on this. It selects everything under it and I can drag it down. Also under Planned Products, we decide that we need some new sub-headings. we want to separate the planned products into food and nonfood items. So what I need to do here is I need to add some headings, then I need to move some things under them. So the two heading are going to go under Planned Products. So I will click after Planned Products, press Return to get a new line, press the Tab key to get a lower level heading, and then type in that heading.
The first one is going to be Food and the items that go under Food are going to be not Olive Oil Soap, I don't usually eat soap, but this olive oil here in the cake. So what I need to do is to move up the Strawberry-infused Oil, and then I want to demote it, so I can just drag it over. And I can do the same thing for this cake. Move it up and drag it over. And then under the Olive Oil Cake, I want another new heading. So I will just click after that and press Return. Now I want to promote this, so I will press Shift+Tab and I'll type in Nonfood, and then I can do the same thing with these two items. I can demote them, or use a shortcut. I can select them both and press Tab and get them both at once.
Now did you see how easy it is to modify an outline? Wwhen you drag a heading with subheadings, everything moves together. You can also use buttons on the ribbon to rearrange things. Either way, it's a great way to organize your thoughts for preparing a document.

In my column, "Foreclosure and Short Sales, a Time Bomb for the Panhandle," I shared the possible tax consequences of losing a home to foreclosure or "short sale" (a sale in which the home sells for less than the amount of debt secured by the property).
One reader commented on Journal-news.net that the column overlooked an income exclusion provided by the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 that "allows almost everyone who had a cancellation of debt (foreclosure or short sale) on their principal residence between 2007 and 2012, to have up to $2 million of forgiven debt ($1 million if married filing separately)."
The comment went on to quote the IRS website: "Qualified Principal Residence Indebtedness: This is the exception created by the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 and applies to most homeowners."
Unfortunately, this is not true for "most" debt secured by homes in the Panhandle.
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 did create the Qualified Principal Residence Indebtedness Exclusion. Unfortunately, however, widespread misunderstanding regarding this exclusion and its proper application is the primary reason many area homeowners face (or will face) tax bills - bills that could have been avoided or minimized.
The purpose of today's column is to correct two of the most consequential misunderstandings regarding the Qualified Principal Resident Indebtedness Exclusion.
Myth 1: All loans secured by a principal residence qualify for exclusion.
Fact: The Qualified Principal Resident Indebtedness exclusion only applies to "acquisition debt." The IRS defines acquisition debt as 1) debt used to build, buy or substantially improve your main home and 2) debt that is secured by that home. Generally, this is original mortgage debt (or any portion of that debt that has been refinanced) and loans used to make capital improvements to the property. That is all.
Countless Panhandle homeowners refinanced their homes during the 2002-2008 "boom" and used the proceeds for something other than substantially improving their main home. Many have been told these secured, nonacquisition loans qualify for the 2007 Act's exclusion. They do not.
Others have been told that home equity loans qualify as acquisition debt if used to buy furniture, bedroom suits and televisions. They do not.
Individuals who believe this "tax myth" and short-sell or walk away from a home are often devastated when they learn that this canceled debt may be taxable unless another exclusion applies. For most, the insolvency exclusion is the only remedy available. Unfortunately, however, taxpayers who own other properties or have vested retirement accounts are often not insolvent by IRS definition. The result: a tax bill that can only be paid by withdrawing from retirement their account - creating another tax bill and an additional 10 percent penalty for those under age 59 1/2.
Had these individuals talked to a professional before losing/selling the property, they would have learned the truth about its tax consequences. They would have been able to make an informed decision and possibly avoid the tax altogether. How? By consulting an attorney to ascertain whether bankruptcy (another exclusion) is a viable option.
Myth 2: Canceled debt that "qualifies" doesn't have to be reported on a tax return.
Fact: Canceled debt income must be properly reported and excluded. Even if your debt qualifies for the Qualified Principal Residence Indebtedness exclusion, you must properly report and exclude the income. You must also reduce what are called "tax attributes." Reducing tax attributes is relatively simple for Qualified Principal Residence Indebtedness and more complex for other exclusions.
The fact is that if canceled debt is ignored or not properly reported, the IRS will not know the income could have been excluded. The lender will report the income to the IRS, and the IRS will check to see if you reported/excluded the income. If you didn't, you will most likely receive a tax bill plus interest and penalties. If you could have excluded the debt, you must now amend your return and prove that you were entitled to the exclusion. If you were not entitled to the exclusion (but thought you were), you now owe a great deal more due to interest and penalties.
The take away - if you are facing foreclosure or considering short sale, please do not listen to "tax myths." Talk to a professional before you lose or sell the property.

Mapping Decline in Regional Diversity of English Dialects
Professor David Britain from the University of Bern added: "People in Bristol speak much more similarly to those in Colchester now than they did fifty years ago. Regional differences are disappearing, some quite quickly. However, while many pockets of resistance to this levelling are shrinking, there is still a stark north-south divide in the pronunciation of certain key words."

April 2015: The vault at the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit of London's Diamond district is ransacked by thieves. They score an estimated £14 to £35 million in cash, jewels and other valuables. The media calls it "the greatest heist in British history" and speculates about the acrobatic feats the gang must have used. London's newspapers are filled with artists' renderings of the heist, featuring hard-bodied burglars in black turtlenecks doing superhuman things. Experts insist that a foreign team of navy-SEAL-like professionals must have masterminded the theft. Nope. [more inside]

From 2 Tone to grime, youth cults showcase a vibrant history of Britain
Something about this country – the divisions, the class system, the general sense of distrust and dissatisfaction – seems to breed youth subcultures like no other place on Earth. The strange, stylish clans that this island incubates have been exported across the world, influencing everything from high street fashion to high art. From teddy boys to 2 Tone rudeboys, soulboys to Slipknot fans, grunge bands to grime crews, mods to mod revivalists, the history of these groups shows us a version of modern Britain that goes way beyond Diana and Blair.[more inside]

"Hobsbawm was a marked man, and he knew it"
The two sides in the Cold War, finding each other irresistible, ended up in a contrapuntal relationship where, as George Urban put it, 'they marched in negative step, but in step all the same.' They had their spies, we had ours. They had their files, we had ours. True, we didn't have gulags. But what kind of democracy is it that congratulates itself on not having gulags? Never mind the dragnet surveillance, the burglaries, the smearing of reputations, the bugging of public telephone boxes, cafés, hotels, banks, trade unions, private homes, all this legitimised by the thesis that everyone is a potential subversive until proven otherwise – the problem is that the defenders of the realm took on the symptoms of the disease they were meant to cure.– In the essay Stuck on the Flypaper historian and journalist Frances Stonor Saunders goes through the recently released MI5 file on Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm [previously] to explain how the British secret service surveilled and interfered with the lives of British citizens during World War II and the early part of the Cold War.

A TV drama that puts gay characters centre-stage is still a novelty
"What was striking about the recent film The Imitation Game wasn't just the incredible story of Alan Turing, the man who helped the Allies win the Second World War by cracking Germany's Enigma code, only to find himself chemically castrated for being gay. It was the epilogue that informed us that the 1885 Criminal Law Amendment Act, criminalising homosexual activity, led to 49,000 gay men being convicted of gross indecency in the UK. If you subtract Turing and Oscar Wilde from that total, that's 48,998 stories that still haven't been told." Why is television still ignoring gay lives? – Matt Cain for The Independent. [more inside]

Badger badger badgering the Cameron government!
Dr. Brian May, CBE, PhD FRAS, recently retired Chancellor of LJMU, winner of The RPS' Saxby Award for achievements in the field of stereoscopic photography, distinguished author, lecturer, film producer, entrepreneur, and occasional musician has been quite busy lately trying to prevent a sweeping cull of the British badger population. His efforts have been surprisingly successful. The overwhelming response to his government petition led to a parliamentary debate, where MPs overwhelmingly rejected the cull in a non-binding vote. The government has attempted to press forward with the cull, but has faced significant resistance from scientists, naturalists, and concerned citizens that have led to implementation delays. The movement recently got the attention of Weebl, who has recorded a rough cut of a new song with Brian May called "Save the Badger Badger Badger" which was recently used in a flash mob protest. The final version will include additional vocals by Brian Blessed.

Mau Mau to Midnapore: Confronting the brutality of empire There are certainly some Britons, including academics, journalists and human rights lawyers, who are aware of the realities of colonialism.

It was a good war. (For some.)
Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., repeatedly lobbied Tony Blair to invade Iraq. In the days leading up to the invasion, Tony Blair's Director of Communications wrote that "(Blair) took a call from Murdoch who was pressing on timings, saying how News International would support us, etc. Both TB and I felt it was prompted by Washington, and another example of their over-crude diplomacy. Murdoch was pushing all the Republican buttons, how the longer we waited the harder it got." The phone call in question took place just days before a crucial vote on Iraq, and was one of three personal calls from Murdoch that Blair received in that week alone. Blair recently testified, admitting an "unhealthy" level of closeness with Murdoch, oftentimes communicating more with him than with his own ministers. In the first 19 days following the invasion of Iraq, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News averaged 3.3 million viewers, a 236% increase from the weeks preceding the war. Huge increases in newspaper sales were seen throughout his global media empire, with advertising revenue soaring to record levels. That empire now faces serious calls for it to be broken up.
Sing us a Song to Keep us Warm, There's Such a Chill
In the wake of their grunge-y breakout hit "Creep" and the success of sophomore record The Bends, Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead were under pressure to deliver once more. So they shut themselves away inside the echoing halls of a secluded 16th century manor and got to work. What emerged from that crumbling Elizabethan castle fifteen years ago today was a shockingly ambitious masterpiece of progressive rock, a visionary concept album that explored the "fridge buzz" of modernity -- alienation, social disconnection, existential dread, the impersonal hum of technology -- through a mosaic of challenging, innovative, eerily beautiful music unlike anything else at the time. Tentatively called Ones and Zeroes, then Your Home May Be at Risk If You Do Not Keep Up Payments, the band finally settled on OK Computer, an appropriately enigmatic title for this acclaimed harbinger of millennial angst. For more, you can watch the retrospective OK Computer: A Classic Album Under Review for a track-by-track rundown, or the unsettling documentary Meeting People is Easy for a look at how the album's whirlwind tour nearly gave Yorke a nervous breakdown.

British Bus Shelters
Some British bus shelters are, implausibly, powered by the light of the sun, and some can see what you're up to & tell you to stop doing it. Others smell like baked potatoes, or dispense free pieces of cake. Others still can get you high if you set them on fire. More often though, these are dreary, malodorous locales where one is increasingly less likely to see a bus, let alone three coming along at once. Photographer Steve Ellaway has embarked on a project to photograph the bus shelters of South Wales: an unpromising subject on the surface of it, but one that has yielded surprisingly rich and varied results.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — If Woody Allen attends the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, he'd rival Bill Clinton as its biggest surprise guest.
Allen will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the ceremony. The writer-director avoids awards shows, though, and skipped those for his previous 12 Golden Globe nominations.
"We've read that Woody's not going to be here," said executive producer Barry Adelman, who kept Clinton's appearance under wraps until airtime last year. "We've heard rumors there may be some surprises."
The 71st annual Golden Globe Awards for movies and television, voted on and presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, will air live on NBC from 7 to 10 p.m. on Sunday.
Last week, sounds of buzzing drills and beeping scissor lifts filled the Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom, where workers were busy hanging chandeliers, assembling a stage and installing some of the 18 cameras that will capture the starry action on show night.
Apart from Allen, most of the stars supplying that action are confirmed: Emma Stone, the lead of Allen's latest film, will present his DeMille award, and Diane Keaton "is going to join in," Adelman said.
Chris Hemsworth and Formula One driver Niki Lauda will introduce best picture nominee Rush. Laura Dern will present best picture nominee Nebraska, which stars her dad, best actor candidate Bruce Dern. Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon will introduce their daughter, Sosie Bacon, who's serving as this year's Miss Golden Globe.
Other presenters announced last week include Tom Hanks, Melissa McCarthy, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Lawrence, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Emma Watson.
With such a high celebrity quotient, there's a great image in every lens, said Globe director Louis J. Horvitz, who will call the shots broadcast worldwide from a giant truck parked behind the Beverly Hilton.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler return as hosts after winning raves and ratings last year. They work without restriction with their own writing teams, Adelman said. They also write and improvise throughout the show.
When Clinton left the stage last year, Poehler quipped: "Wasn't that Hillary Clinton's husband?"
"That was a total ad-lib," Adelman said.
Leading nominees this year are the con-artist caper American Hustle and historical drama 12 Years a Slave. Each has seven bids, including best picture, director and actor.
Besides 12 Years a Slave, directed by Steve McQueen, other contenders in the best dramatic film category include the Somali-pirate thriller Captain Phillips, racing story Rush, space adventure Gravity and the family tale Philomena.
The drama Dallas Buyers Club is up for two awards, with Matthew McConaughey nominated for best actor, portraying the late AIDS activist Ron Woodroof, and Jared Leto for supporting actor.

7 p.m. Sunday, NBC (Channel 5). 3 hrs. Pre-show coverage starts at 3 p.m. on E! and 4:30 p.m. on NBC.

Where's Amber? Still No. 1 on the NTTA deadbeat list
The North Texas Tollway Authority did its monthly update on the all-star deadbeat list for unpaid tolls and fines today, and Amber Young, the old reliable, is still on top.
She's like Nolan Ryan and the strikeout list — nearly untouchable — and her total continued to build by a few hundred dollars over last month.
That means, according to Michael Rey of the NTTA, that she's still out there driving, despite owing the toll authority $182,598.15.
But one odd thing caught my eye, when comparing this list with the original one, as posted earlier this summer with a Michael Lindenberger piece on the name-and-shame program: There are new all-stars with astronomical debts that I can't imagine amassing in a couple of months.
Look at No. 7 on the updated list: Tasheika Clark, of Dallas, 75010. There's no Tasheika anywhere on the July list. This shows Tasheika suddenly in the red for 4,759 unpaid toll transactions, and $122,424.89. Wow.
No. 8 Judy F Fraizer, of Garland, 75041, wasn't on the July list either, and now owes $121.257.84 on 5,434 transactions.
It would not surprise me if some of these major scalawags are fleet owners or business operators.
I emailed over to NTTA folks looking for an explanation on this. I'll post it when I hear back.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Talked to Mr. Rey of the NTTA. The new heavy-hitters popped onto the list because they crossed the threshold of being in collections for at least six months. So congratulations, Tasheika and Judy. People on the list also have to have at least 100 unpaid tolls.
In all, 12,201 new names have been added since the original 25,000 were posted this summer.
Other updates: Since publication of the first list, the name-and-shame program has produced payback deals with 3,222 scofflaws and collection of 758,000.
There are about 35,000 now on the list.

Strangely enough, I believe the first time I heard of the Honor brand, it was when I spotted this pretty red + pink dress combo on Pinterest. I've been a fan and follower ever since, so I was thrilled to be invited to the Honor show a few weeks ago. Bright bold colors, major pops of neon, long-sleeved sheer dresses, and my personal favorites – hot pink pants and a gorgeous purple fur sleeved coat – all made for an incredibly gorgeous, fun and completely lustworthy fall 2012 collection.
When I was little I would tell people that I was going to live in a pink or purple house when I grew up. While my idea of a dream home has changed over the years, I still have a weakness for the two classic girly girl colors. These pink suede booties have quickly become my favorite pair of runaround shoes, and I like to think I have technically made my dream come true of living happily in pink and purple.
{booties: c/o wanted, sweater: old navy, jeans: c/o j brand, scarf: j crew, bag: marc by marc jacobs}
I've been back from NY for over a week now but I packed so much in it's taken awhile to get it all out. Besides a few more runway recaps, here are a final few favorite shots from my lovely trip to New York.
{stripes at richard chai, flatiron building, with anna of see jane, jessie of style and pepper braving the elements for the perfect shot, sweet little message, wine + bauble bar bling, cowboy-ish goth-esque nicholas k finale, rebecca taylor program, giving the pained feet a break}
Unexpected inspiration from a week in NYC: oversized houndstooth tights with slightly mismatched heels, gold lame pleated skirt, doubled up necklaces on Taylor, textured + neon nails, pleated leather skirt + Chanel around the waist, super chunky knitted sweaters and 3/4 leather sleeved shirts from J Brand, spiked platform booties, feathery/fur covered Alicia.

Sen. Hatch Tries to Woo Tea Partiers
Judging from the crowd reaction at a tea party town hall last night, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) still has a ways to go in his effort to court conservative activists.
The televised forum put on by the Tea Party Express at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., also featured crowd pleasers Reps. Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.), Allen West (R., Fla.) Steve King (R., Iowa) and Sens. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) and Mike Lee (R., Utah). That group of lawmakers often received cheers and hollers from the dozens present, such as when Mr. West recited parts of the Constitution or when Mr. King said Congress should abolish the Internal Revenue Service.
Mr. Hatch, who is up for re-election in 2012, got polite applause after he called for a balanced budget amendment and tort reform.
His problem, attendees said: He was first elected in 1976.
"There is a great value in citizen legislators who self-limit themselves," said James Renwick Manship, who wore a full Revolutionary War outfit. "George Washington served two terms."
The event illustrated how much power the activist wing of the GOP amassed during 2010. If Mr. Hatch wants to be the Republican nominee next year, he likely has to win over some of this group before then.
After Sen. Bob Bennett (R., Utah) was by the Utah GOP, many assumed his friend and colleague, Mr. Hatch, would be next in 2012. Utah's senior senator has since tried to brand himself as "the original tea partier," noting he was the state chairman for President Ronald Reagan's 1976 White House bid.
"I'm a tough guy," he told reporters. "Is Orrin Hatch doing the work of the people? It's pretty hard to say 'no.'"
But five-term incumbent was also the only lawmaker present to say that sometimes, government needs to get involved. Noting the Senate is currently debating a reauthorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration, one audience member asked if the air traffic control system should be privatized. Mr. Hatch disagreed. "You sure want air traffic to be safe," he said.
No one applauded.
"I'm not a big fan," said Kim Jossfolk, a 45-year-old from Vienna, Va., who wants to defund the Education Department. "To me, he was a big part of where the Republican Party went wrong about all the different spending they did when Bush was in office."
Even Mr. West, the newly minted congressman from Florida, seemed to agree. When asked if the senator should retire, Mr. West told Washington Wire, "That's up to the people of the great state of Utah." He added: "I believe in term limits."
In January, the Tea Party Express announced it would not challenge Mr. Hatch next year. The organization spent millions campaigning for political newcomers last year like Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, Sharron Angle in Nevada and Joe Miller in Alaska — all in an effort to take down established candidates.
But Sal Russo, the campaign strategist behind the group, called Mr. Hatch a friend, noting they worked together during the Reagan years.
Tea party types often say "Throw the rascals out," Mr. Russo said. "Then when you look at some of the rascals you realize they're good people. They're not rascals after all. I think Sen. Hatch will be very persuasive in that regard."
To that end, Mr. Hatch said he would remind people that after spending decades in the Senate, he is poised to take control of the Finance Committee should Republicans take control of the chamber in 2012.
"That's no small thing," he said. "People are going to say 'my gosh we don't to lose that.'"

Entry #2800, August 31, 2013
Labor Day is the last big holiday of the fun summer season. After that, fall season will begin and schools will start in most areas. So, a party or a grand family dinner seems to be the perfect way to bid farewell to this long weekend. This weekend enjoy healthy and grilled vegetables recipe for your party!
A Grilled Vegetable Menu for a Healthy Labor Day Party
Image via: MSLiving
Many people stay traditional and others try new things in the menu of their Labor Day party. Whatever you try, a veggie menu will be a great choice given that the abundance of summer produces at this time. Check out some veggie recipes for your Labor Day party or dinner.
Main Dishes
Roasted fresh-from-the-garden vegetables are both mouthwatering and good for health. Grilled green beans, peppers, and other garden produce can be served beside a main dish. Alongside this grilled recipe, you can opt for grilled eggplant Panini for your party. This end-of-summer yummy treat is simple to make. You will need sliced eggplant, mayonnaise, bread, mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers, red onion, basil olive oil, and garlic salt to make this rich and creamy delicacy.

If you are not too strict with the word 'veggie', you can make a mix of vegetables and delicious shrimps for a relishing main dish. Make kebabs with juicy plums, shrimps, fresh jalapenos, lime juice, chopped cilantro, lime zest, sesame oil, and salt. You will be happy to know that this deluxe meal will not take more than 35-40 minutes to be prepared.
Side Dishes
At this time of the year, you will have a number of options for healthy veggie side dishes. Corn is probably the most available option for a party or dinner menu. Grilled sweet corn with smoky chipotles and fresh lime will make a juicy, mouth-watering, and wonderful side dish. Pesto-tossed roasted zucchini or a grilled salad made of a mix of grilled bell peppers, sweet tomatoes, and salty olives can make its place to your table too. The great thing about the grilled salad is that you can easily turn this dish into an appetizer by topping it with crostini mixed with goat cheese.

Raspberry Desserts & Drinks
A fruit pie, especially a raspberry-peach pie, will be the best choice to complement a Labor Day meal. A sweet and sour combination of raspberries and peaches coupled with a lightened piecrust will make a healthy, winning dessert. The same raspberries can be used to make delicious drinks. Use frozen raspberries, raspberry-flavored syrup, fresh mint, seltzer, and ice cubes to make this super easy and refreshing drinks. It will serve as a low-calorie alternative to sugar-laden sodas normally served in parties.

These delicious but easy summer recipes served on a casual table decorated with flags and red, blue, and white colors will rock your party and take care of your health at the same time.

To guard against fraudulent requests for access to Personal Information, the CPA will require sufficient information to allow it to confirm the identity of the person making the request before granting access or making corrections.
The CPA takes reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to the CPA's site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

In terms of communicating Personal Information to CPA, you may wish to note that there is no method of transmitting or storing data that is completely secure. While the physical characteristics of each are different, mail, telephone calls, faxes and transmissions over the Internet are all susceptible to possible loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the information being communicated or transmitted.
The CPA attempts to strike a reasonable balance between security and convenience. In communicating with you, the CPA reserves the right to use a method of communication that is less secure than some of its less convenient alternatives. For example, we now send e-mail as unencrypted plain text because we believe that many of our members, service providers and other third parties cannot readily process encrypted e-mail. Thus, also this is done for their convenience, the security concern exists that, if misrouted or intercepted, unencrypted plain text could be read more easily than encrypted e-mail.
You may have received a unique Client ID and created a password in order to use the secure portions of CPA's website. You are requested not to divulge your Client ID or password to anyone other than authorized CPA personnel and only to permit them to serve you.
