Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
Grok! Studio, an entertainment company founded by Vince Gerardis, a co-producer on Game of Thrones and representative of various entertainment rights connected to a number of SF/F authors, is teasing that HBO and GRRM will be making an announcement connected to games at San Diego Comic Con. Gerardis was partner to the late Ralph Vicinanza of the Created By agency, and it looks like Grok! has inherited all or most of the client base from that company.
As we reported back in March 2010, HBO applied for a broad trademark category that did include games, though we speculated that these were for Flash-based games such as the ones HBO did eventually produce as part of the Maester's Path and the Iron Throne marketing efforts. But… could HBO's rights include video and/or PC games based on Game of Thrones (as distinct from those based on "A Song of Ice and Fire", such as A Game of Thrones: Genesis and Cyanide's as-yet-untitled RPG)? We'll have to wait and see what news comes down the pipe next month.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Jacob Weisberg, SlateBarack Obama campaigned and won re-election without anything much resembling a second-term agenda. On the campaign trail, he called for greater tax fairness, more jobs, and doing something or other about immigration. Seeking refuge in even greater vagueness, Mitt Romney was in no position to call him out.Since the election, however, the president has been steadily filling in the missing pieces, asserting his renewed mandate on behalf of an ambitious, liberal agenda. As of last night's State of the Union address, no one can accuse Obama of lacking specifics. His

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. - Öhlins Racing AB has expanded a previous recall for aftermarket steering damper kits.
The company said it discovered that a safety issue concerning possible cracks occurring in the brackets of the aftermarket steering damper kits affects more model numbers than originally listed in the previous recall. That recall notice was for BMW steering damper kits SD 033, SD 037 and SD 038 and was issued in June 2013 (see image).
Material that was machined in an unfavorable direction, in combination with probable material defect, is causing the aluminum alloy to be sensitive to stress-corrosion cracking, the company said. This recall has been expanded to include steering damper kits produced from September 2008 until October 2013.
Here are the part numbers involved (only batches of these part numbers as listed on the company's website are affected): SD000, SD 001, SD002, SD003, SD004, SD005, SD020, SD027, SD031, SD041, SD120, SD124, SD137, SD154, SD170, SD178, SD180, SD182, SD183, SD197 and SD215.
The issue does not exist on steering damper kits currently in production, the company added.
Öhlins Racing AB decided to recall all steering damper brackets of specific batches after seven known cases were discovered. "There is a risk that the bracket will fail, allowing it to slide on the cylinder body of the damper, resulting in less steering angle in one direction, or possibly asymmetric damping. Either of these events are cause for concern," the company said.
Customers with a steering damper listed above are being instructed to contact their dealer or Öhlins USA to have it replaced. A page on the www.ohlinsusa.com website lists the specific batch numbers and provides further contact information for any questions. New brackets are being made available to dealers now, the company noted.
"Please remove the recalled steering damper before using the motorcycle!" the company announced. "We apologize for this manufacturing issue. Safety is of the highest importance to Öhlins Racing AB and its affiliates. Customers will receive a replacement bracket without charge or shipping costs."

text: There is no way Guida won. Tyson won the first round, and the second slightly. Tyson was more effective throughout the entire fight, even when he was on his back. When Tyson struck, you could hear the "pop." Guida was ineffective because Tyson kept stuffing his attempts. You have to give points to Tyson for diffusing Guida aggression. Because Guida was on top at the end of the fight only made him think he won the fight. Most of the time he just laid there, anyway.

Houma weekly paper's 1938 contest sparks interest
Published: Wednesday, October 5, 2005 at 12:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
um Bug," a lighthearted local column published in the short-lived weekly Houma Sun in the late 1930s, conducted a contest in 1938 aimed at drawing comments on its name.
The rules for winning a one-year subscription to The Sun were published Sept. 23, 1938, at the bottom of a column full of typical "Hum Bug" items.
"Bozo, a German police dog, knows good baloney," the column began. "He strolled into the A&P Tea Store and helped himself to some of their best sausage."
Another alluded to a law-enforcement incident of another sort:
"Who is the police officer that tied traffic up at the Barrow Street bridge while he played a practical joke on the bridge tender?"
In 1938, there were no fixed Bayou Terrebonne bridges between the Intracoastal and St. Charles St. Bridge tenders opened the bridges for navigation.
"A bouquet of daisies to Mrs. Charles E. Boudreaux for suggesting this interesting column."
The column ended with the contest rules: "What is a Humbug? The one submitting the best description of a Humbug will receive from the Houma Sun a free subscription for one year. All answers will be printed as they are received. Contest will close the night of Wednesday, October 26th. Please send all your HUMBUG to the Houma Sun in care of the HUMBUG reporter. HUMBUGS can be sent in either through mail or by phoning 7."
Houma beauty-shop owner Audrey Hanna Chandler was among those who entered the contest. Her wordy entry, combining a presumably true personal anecdote and a dictionary romp, was published in the Suns Hum Bug on Oct. 21, 1938.
"Dear Sirs," Chandlers entry began. "I have been called upon to define that word ëHumbug.
"Becoming curious, I pulled out the old Websters and to my horror I discover Ive been unaware of the insults thrown at me in one word. ëIgnorance is bliss but enlightenment is awful.
"First, I want to tell you as briefly as possible the story of my being called a humbug and why Im ëboiling six months later after finding out its meaning."
Chandler went on to describe her participation in what appears to have been a "bring-your-own" watermelon party held at then popular "Dulac beach."
"I was invited to attend a watermelon cutting at Dulac last summer. After great difficulties in buying the largest melon he had, paying $1.25 for it, having the taxi to transfer this large member of the cucumber family to the ice house for cold storage, I waited for the day of the party to arrive (Oh! yes, it cost me 25 cents taxi and 25 cents cold storage fees in addition to the $1.25, this making the ëcucumber worth $2.00 by then.)"
Large residential refrigerators were rare, and it was common to rent space in local ice houses and cold storage services.
"The great day came. I hurried through my work so I wouldnt be late to the ëcutting, went directly to the ice house only to find someone, through mistake, had taken my watermelon home with them and lived 10 miles out Bayou Black.
"My friend, who planned going with me, suggested going and get it. After about an hours loss in time and almost fighting with the man who had the melon, we were headed to Dulac at last.
"Upon my arrival I noticed everyone was eating crabs but thought nothing of it, and began struggling with the huge package of mine, trying to get it out of the car. I worked and fumed so much my blood pressure was 3,000 in the moonlight.
"But during the inevitable scheme of things combining the assistance of the cook, waiter, myself and a block and tackle, I finally managed to get my ëpassport to the table and very proudly displayed it and said, ëWell, boys and girls, isnt that a beaut?
"Everyone looked at me like a sick cat and said just look here. From underneath the table they pulled a specimen of the cucumber family out that if cut into, hollowed out and an outboard motor hooked on the back of it would make the Queen Mary look like a wart.
"Then with a sickly grin one of the party said, ëOh, you are just a humbug.
"Now can you imagine the fun I could have had, had I known the meaning Im going to give you here that is out of the dictionary."
"Humbug -- Fraud, cheat, sham, hoax," Chandlers dictionary reported.
"That," she wrote, "is bad enough, but take each word and look them up."
Her own search turned up a host of definitions and synonyms, including deceit, artifice, duplicity, swindler, to feign, practical joke, trick, deception, ruse, stratagem, to be crooked, to victimize, to take too much liberty with. "Gosh, just imagine, had I known!"
But Chandlers list of humbug meanings went on with a "cheat, affectation, dishonest, unreliable, untrue, out of harmony, counterfeit. Feign -- to pretend, counterfeit, invent, to jest, to mock, to make fun of."
"This is almost too much, but I just want to see how long this will last," she wrote.
" ëViolation of allegiance or faith and confidence, perfidity, treasonable conduct, malicious, spiteful, evil minded.
"Imagine me being evil minded," she wrote. "Oh! Well!"
The list ends with a peculiar definition of the word " ëcheap, ... the soft bellow of a cow, to moo as a cow or ox. "
"I think," Chandler concluded, "that is far enough to go and the next person who refers to me as a cow or ox, Im going to leap up and deal with them. Imagine what might have happened at Dulac when I cut the watermelon and found it green.
"You can readily see its fooling with dynamite to call me ëhumbug.
"Respectfully, Mrs. Audrey Chandler."
It is not clear from the issues of the Sun which are preserved on microfilm whose entry won the contest, but Chandler went on contribute to Hum Bug again and again, including a second, unrelated item in the column which printed her contest entry:
"Mrs. Audrey Chandler says ëMy place (her beauty shop) has the reputation of being a gossip center. This is certainly not true. The only gossip here is brought in, not dragged in. If I were to repeat some of the things I hear (but I dont) there might be some hair pulling in Houma."
"Why dont you Audrey?" editors responded. "Some people are complaining that nothing ever happens any more, everything just ëis."
One of her contributions made such fun a local police action that officials responded at length in print.
Pete Bourgeois reports that one of the Terrebonne sheriff candidates defeated by his late father Peter Bourgeois in the early 1940s was Audrey Chandler, possibly the only female sheriff candidate in Terrebonne history.

The Centre will hold an exclusive meeting of all the chief ministers on May 5 to reach a consensus about how to make the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) functional. Many chief ministers including Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal had raised objections about the Centre's decision to allow the NCTC to function across the country and argued that the Centre's decision had gone against the federal structure of the country and will hurt the interests of several state governments.
An official of the chief minister's secretariat here told reporters that the Union home minister P.Chidambaram had written a letter to Mamata Banerjee and informed her that the Prime Minister had agreed to hold an exclusive meeting with all the chief ministers on May 5 to discuss NCTC. Mamata had written a letter to the Prime Minister on March 30 and urged him to hold an exclusive meeting with the chief ministers over NCTC. ""The Centre has agreed to the chief minister's plea for holding a separate meeting for NCTC,"" the official said.

Here in the basement of the Espresso Royale on Sixth Street in this land grant university town, amid English Fog lattes and keypad-clatter, in the afternoon before the all-hallows-eve in which Katie, a great-great-et-cetera granddaughter of the townswoman they hanged for the crime of witchcraft, will play a game—homo ludens— of volleyball against the maize-and-blue Michigan WolverinesI draft a missive to the good citizenry of Dorchester as though they might yet happen upon these words, as though their revivified selves were a short gallop from this latitude and longitude, as though their sins of omission and commission might still be forgiven— not just forgotten—by an act of penance that includes a pilgrimage to tonight's venue and a maniacal cheering for this descendent as she executes (I didn't invent the language) a perfect play that culminates in (really, I didn't) a kill. Full stop because I don't know how to end this letter. So I do what I always do: continue breaking lines and staggering down the page until it's time to witness more volleyball and cheer like nothing else ever happens or matters.
Researchers at Yale University School of Public Health have discovered a link between longevity and reading books. People who spend up to 3.5 hours each week engrossed in a book were 17 percent less likely to die in the 12 years following the study, and those who read more than 3.5 hours are 23 percent less likely to die in the same period. The longevity advantage remained even after adjusting the data for education, wealth, cognitive ability, and other variables, although no cause-and-effect relationship was established (Tech Times, August 8).

Bob Filner, who in August complained he was the victim of a lynch mob as he was driven from office by sexual harassment allegations, this week pleaded guilty to a felony and two misdemeanors stemming from that behavior.
The former San Diego mayor entered the pleas under an agreement with the state attorney general. Instead of jail time, he'll get three months of home confinement and three years probation.
Filner could have faced three years in prison on the felony charge and one year for each misdemeanor. He is to be formally sentenced Dec. 9.
A former 10-term congressman, Filner pleaded guilty to felony false imprisonment and two misdemeanor battery counts against woman identified only as Jane Does. None was an employee of Filner's although among the 17 women who came forward with sexual harassment charges were a number of public employees.
The felony involved a woman restrained against her will at a fundraiser March 6, according to the plea agreement. Filner's attorney told reporters that his client put her in a headlock.
The misdemeanors involved a woman who was kissed without permission at a "Meet the Mayor" event April 6 and a woman whose buttocks were grabbed at a rally to clean up Mission Bay's Fiesta Island on May 25.
"I think he wants to redeem his original legacy, which was a wonderful one, and put this behind him," Filner's attorney said.
Of course, this won't put the matter behind for San Diego taxpayers.
The criminal charges do not involve Filner's former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, who in July became the first woman to go public with allegations against him.
In exchange for his resignation as mayor, the city agreed to pay Filner's legal fees in a joint defense of the McCormack Jackson lawsuit, and cover any settlement costs assessed against the mayor except for punitive damages.
He does give up one thing. As a convicted felon, Filner forfeits his right to vote.

Hello Echo Spoofs Paranoia in 'Watch Through the Lines' (Video Premiere)
Joseph Heller wrote in "Catch-22" that "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you," an idea that resonates in Hello Echo's new video for "Watch Through the Lines." The Santa Monica, Calif. (by way of Boston), band premieres the clip today on Speakeasy.
The video shows what the band describes as three "ultimate cliché" hippies frolicking in a park, playing hackysack and (apparently) discussing conspiracy theories, all while under observation by buffoonish, mustachioed agents of the National Security Agency. The trio shot the video for the lilting track in a single day, working with what singer Sean Aylward calls "talented cameraman friends" such as Jason Goodell, the director of photography.
"It was really just an excuse to go full hippie for an afternoon," Aylward tells Speakeasy. "Then shave our beards into moustaches."
Still, though the band took a lighthearted approach with the video, the song touches on themes that resonate, Aylward says. "Every time I start listening to conspiracy theories they sound really believable, but I'm always glad I'm not too deep into it, mainly because conspiracy theorists are usually are darkly obsessed and weird, even though I think they're onto some truth," he says.
His solution? "I just write a song that makes fun of both sides and go about my business," Aylward says. "That's how I deal with it."
"Watch Through the Lines" is from Hello Echo's second album, "Echo," which came out in February. What do you think of the video? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Mahafaly children
|Total population
|c. 150,000 (2013)
|Regions with significant populations
|Related ethnic groups
|Other Malagasy groups; Austronesian peoples
The Mahafaly are an ethnic group of Madagascar that inhabit the plains of the Betioky-Ampamihy area. Their name means either "those who make taboos" or "those who make happy", although the former is considered more likely by linguists. In 2013 there were an estimated 150,000 Mahafaly in Madagascar.[1]
Ethnic identity[edit]
The Mahafaly are believed to have arrived in Madagascar from southeastern Africa around the 12th century and managed to preserve autonomy during the reign of the Merina kingdom. They inhabit the plains of the Betioky-Ampamihy area.[2][3]
Funeral rites[edit]
Mahafaly are known for the large tombs they build to honor dead chiefs and kings.[4] They are large stone squares surmounted by wooden sculptures and heaps of zebu horns; the greater the importance of the dead being buried, the greater the number of sculpture and horns placed on the tomb. The sculptures are termed aloalo, a word that implies the meaning "messenger" or "intermediary", possibly with reference to the interconnecting role they play between the worlds of the living and of the dead. One of the largest Mahafaly tombs is that of king Tsiampody, which is decorated with horns from over 700 zebus.
The Mahafaly speak a dialect of the Malagasy language, which is a branch of the Malayo-Polynesian language group derived from the Barito languages, spoken in southern Borneo.

New Jersey Devils' Adam Henrique reacts after scoring a goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning during the second period of an NHL hockey game, Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013, in Newark, N.J. The Devils have re-signed centre Henrique to a new multi-year contract.THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/Julio Cortez
2013-08-26 12:23:00
NEWARK, N.J. - The New Jersey Devils have re-signed centre Adam Henrique to a new multi-year contract.
Henrique, 23, will enter his third NHL season in September, and will be counted on heavily on a team light on offence. Henrique had 11 goals and 16 points in 42 games last season with New Jersey, after a memorable rookie season with the Devils in 2011-12.
Henrique was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team that season, and finished third in voting for the Calder Trophy, given to the league's top rookie. He posted 51 points that season, and scored the overtime winner in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals vs. the New York Rangers, securing New Jersey's fifth trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.
A native of Brantford, Ontario, Henrique made his NHL debut April 11, 2011 vs. Boston. He was the No. 82 selection in the 2008 NHL Draft.
New Jersey is seeking to bounce back from a disappointing shortened season in which the Devils failed to make the playoffs. In July, they lost forwards Ilya Kovalchuk to retirement, and David Clarkson to Toronto via free agency.

A Quote by Jack Kerouac on improvisation, music, and jazz
Here's a guy and everyboy's there, right? Up to him to put down what's on everybody else's mind. He starts the first chorus, then lines up his ideas, people, yeah, yeah, but get it, and then rises to his fate and has to blow equal to it. All of a sudden somwhere in the middle of the chorus he gets IT- everybody looks up and knows; they listen; he picks it up and carries. Time stops. He's filling empty space with the substance of our lives, confessions of his bellybottom strain, remembrance of ideas, rehashes of old blowing. He has to blow across bridges and come back and do it with such infinite feeling soul-exploratory for the tune of the moment that everybody knows its not the tune that counts but IT

BELPRE-There are about 60 grave markers in Belpre Township's historic Cedarville Cemetery today but just how many pioneers, Revolutionary War soldiers and Native Americans were buried in the old graveyard is anybody's guess.
Located along a stretch of Ohio River bank in Belpre, portions of the cemetery have been washed away by years of flooding and erosion that carried some graves with it.
"The area was originally established as 'common ground'-seven acres that were set aside when this land was first surveyed where people traveling the Ohio could get off the river and rest," explained Asa Boring, one of the Belpre Township trustees now responsible for the cemetery.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Asa Boring, Belpre Township trustee, resets an American flag beside one of the 60 historic grave markers located in the Cedarville Cemetery.
"Anyone traveling downriver could stay on that property without being run off," he said. "Of course, some of them died and were buried there. But we don't have statistics on all of the graves and we know some of them have been washed away."
Boring said in the past the graveyard was also referred to as the "Indian Cemetery," most likely because some Native Americans were buried there.
A 1897 article from The Marietta Register, posted on an information board at the cemetery, refers to an "Indian massacre" that reportedly occurred in the late 1700s near the graveyard site.
Fact Box
About the site
What: Belpre Township's historic Cedarville Cemetery, established in 1791.
Where: Along Cemetery Drive in Belpre.
Directions: From Washington Boulevard (Ohio 618), turn south for three blocks on either Cross Street or West Street
The article suggests victims from the massacre could have been buried at Cedarville.
"If there was a massacre, then some of the Indians were probably buried there, too," Boring said.
The Belpre Historical Society's museum at 509 Ridge St. contains some readings and records about Cedarville and those buried in the cemetery.
"The cemetery was opened in 1791 and we keep a list of those who are known to have been buried there," said Charlotte Powell, museum curator.
She noted one early pioneer likely buried in the Cedarville graveyard was Revolutionary War Capt. Zebulon King, recorded as the first white man killed by Native Americans in the Belpre area.
Other Revolutionary War vets in the cemetery include Col. Israel Putnam, Jr., son of Gen. Israel Putnam and Capt. Jonathan Stone, who served under Gen. Rufus Putnam, one of the founders of Marietta.
"The museum has also preserved many of the original grave markers that were in Cedarville Cemetery," Powell said.
Among the sandstone markers, displayed and labeled neatly in a back hallway at the museum, is that of Nathaniel Sawyer, Sr., who founded the village of Little Hocking, originally known as Sawyer Station, according to Powell, who is a lifelong resident of Little Hocking.
Although some older gravestones still exist at the cemetery, most were replaced with new markers by the Rotary Club of Belpre, working with the township trustees to restore the property and re-mark the known graves.
"It was a community project," Boring said. "Now the cemetery is surrounded by a new chain-link fence and the trustees are keeping it maintained as an historical site."
Boring noted that over the years some graves that were initially located in the Cedarville Cemetery were moved out of harm's way to higher ground in the Rockland Cemetery, about a half-mile northwest of the Cedarville site.
"No burials take place at the Cedarville Cemetery today," Boring said. "Most of the people who visit the cemetery are looking for ancestors that may be buried there."

2012 Triathlete Buyer's Guide: Wetsuits
- By Shaun Guest, Courtney Baird, Jene Shaw
- Published May 4, 2012
- Updated Oct 31, 2014 at 4:38 PM UTC
Aqua Sphere Powered W-Pursuit $250
The Pursuit emulates a lot of the features of Aqua Sphere's higher-end suit, the Racer, but with a more generous fit and slightly less flexibility throughout. Although its arms felt slightly less flexible than the Racer, the difference was subtle. Both the core and shoulders are slightly roomier in this suit. The Pursuit uses 5mm neoprene around the core for added warmth and buoyancy, helping to position the swimmer high in the water. The ankle is constructed with the same flexible panel as its higher-end sibling, allowing for quick removal in T1. Aquasphereswim.com

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The broader markets rose on Thursday once again as some big name companies reported earnings.
Amazon beat its revenue estimates and the stock again went higher. Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, said Wall Street continues to cut the company slack and advised investors not to buy the stock on Friday.
Tim Seymour, managing partner at Triogem Asset Management, said no other company is close to what Amazon has in terms of its competitive edge, but because of valuation he is not a buyer.

Bradley is going to beat Pac.
Ill take bets with the few points I have. and im putting money on it,
Anyways, Pac should be applauded for a decent choice in opponent finally. I hate Bradley, but he is pretty good.
I think it will be a war, but I think Bradley is smarter. He will consistently get off before Pac. His chin is also good enough to take Pacs shots.

If Pac comes into the fight in top shape, and on form, then he stops Bradley. If he's let himself be distracted then it might be tougher... but I can still see him grinding it out. I hope its a good fight though!

I have respect for putting money where your mouth is, but I think you are dead wrong unless Pacquiao is very diminished which is really hard to know before hand.
What does Bradley do well enough to trouble Manny or mitigate what Manny does well. Bradley is good at a lot of thing in boxing but not really excellent at any, while Manny has some mediocre abilities the things he does well are excellent. So for me it comes down to Bradley being able to exploit his flaws a bit and mitigate a bit of what he does but I don't think that adds up to beating Manny, making him look rather average possibly but beating him I don't see it.
Good luck though, since I probably won't have much money on that fight.

I think Bradley beats Pacquiao too.
But i'm not going to bet points on that. However, I do feel like betting real money on it, not a lot, the most i'd put down is $500. How much would that get me if I bet that Bradley wins by decision, and he wins? I'm not saying i' gonna do the bet, i'm saying if I bet, it would be real money and it all depends on the reward.

I don't think he will get off first everytime atleast for the whole fight, really when I look at it I don't think Bradley can do a better job than JMM did and that wasn't enough to win. It will look a bit different because Bradley and JMM are different fighters but I can't see it being better and that would be a best case scenario (assuming both guys are as I know them).
If the number on Bradley is pushing +900 I would consider betting on him because at that point the odds I am getting are inline with the chance I believe he has to win. Just make sure you get good odds for what you think his chances are.

with bob arum in the building, doubt it.
bradley would have to win via a wide lopsided UD, like 10 rounds to 2 and maybe a knockdown thrown in there somewhere.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
If you head into a tailor shop to buy a bespoke suit, you're going to pay a lot more than you would if you went to Men's Warehouse and bought one off the rack. Why? Well, the mass-produced suits are made in huge amounts by machines, so the per-suit price is low. On top of that, the store sets the prices so that you pay roughly the same lower price for the same suit, whether you're shopping in Idaho or Timbuktu.
Loans are a little like that.
Two Organizations with Weird Names
There are two government-created groups very interested in your mortgage:
- The Federal National Mortgage Association (cutesy nickname: Fannie Mae)
- The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (cutesy nickname: Freddie Mac).
Fannie Mae was created during the Great Depression of the 1930s and Freddie Mac was created in the 1970s; both are still around today.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are what are known as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) because the government was part of creating them (which is how they got stuck with nicknames that got them teased on the playground). Their job is to make sure that home loans are affordable so more Americans can buy their own house.
Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy conforming home loans and re-sell them on the secondary market. Just like your great aunt likes to buy collector's teapots and sell them in groups of three on eBay for a profit, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages from banks, bundle them together, and sell them to investors so that investors can get richer.
But they only do that with conforming loans.
Conforming to What?
Conforming loans are loans that have met specific rules set out by the government. There's more than one government involved, though, so the rules of conforming loans may be slightly different in, say, California than they are in Kentucky.
To be a conforming loan, your mortgage has to toe the line when it comes to
- loan size. In many places, the current limit for conforming loans is $417,000, so if you're borrowing $417,003 from the bank, you'll want to dig into your piggy bank to bring that number down. If you live in some areas where the cost of real estate is higher (San Fran, we're looking at you) then you might get a limit up to $625,500. Oh, and P.S. the government can decide to increase those limits if they want.
- paperwork. Conforming loans need enough paperwork to make trees shake in fear.
- debt to income level. If you max out your credit taking on a loan that eats a big chunk of your income, you're probably going to be living on PB & J sandwiches for a long time to afford it. Your mortgage also won't be a conforming loan.
- loan to value ratio. Sure, you might absolutely need to buy that house with the six-foot mural of the Cowboys cheerleaders, but that huge mural likely brings down the value of the house (only because most homebuyers like to keep smaller pictures of the Cowboys cheerleaders under their mattress). The problem with buying a home with a lower value and taking out a big loan on it is that it messes up that tidy loan to value ratio. In other words: it makes bankers nervous that if you can't pay your loan, you won't be able to sell the house for enough cash to cover what you've borrowed.
If you've had your latte this morning and are feeling alert, you've probably noticed that all of these things (smaller mortgages, low debt to income and loan to value ratios) make conforming loans less of a risk for lenders. Well, take a gold star. That's exactly what they are.
And because they're less of a risk for lenders and because someone is making a profit by reselling them to investors, you get a few perks, too. Not a private jet and access to the VIP lounge like a rich investor, but still pretty good. If you get a conforming loan to pay for your house, you'll enjoy lower interest rates and better terms. You might also not need to pay even more for mortgage insurance. No confetti, but we're talking about the government, so what did you expect?
Why are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so interested in conforming loans? The two GSEs are supposed to make buying a home more affordable and easier. The government backs conforming loans and guarantees them, but it makes sure that there are rules—the government loves rules.
Banks love rules, too, so when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy their loans and bundle them up like pigs in a blanket to re-sell as investments, they love it because it leaves banks with more cash that they can loan out and make interest on.
More Numbers to Crunch
In some markets, a $417,000 or even a $625,500 mortgage won't even get you a nice parking spot. So what happens if you aren't part of the mob and need a bigger loan? If your mortgage doesn't conform, it's what's known as a "jumbo" loan. And just like a jumbo jet, it's going to cost you more (and won't fly you to Maui).
There's another number for you to take a look at: $1.1 million. This is the upper limit for some of the nice perks you enjoy with mortgages. Once you take out a home loan over that amount, the government and your banker will assume that you're really rich…and while they'll be super nice to you, they'll give you fewer breaks. Your mortgage interest will not be tax-deductible and you'll probably need a bigger down payment. You're probably in the 50% tax bracket if you have that kind of loan, so you might like the idea of that deductible. But since you've got the cash, your XXL mortgage will basically cost you twice as much as a smaller one.

Old School vs. New School Bloggers
Pam from (formerly Daily Gluttony now) Rants & Craves chronicles it this way: "2006 was also the year that was, in my mind, the Golden Age of So-Cal Food Blogging. Not because the food blogs at that time were any better than the ones that have sprung up since then--that's not what I'm saying. It was, rather, a time when there weren't as many of us around, and a time when food blogs were just starting to get noticed by the general public. It was still a novelty for restaurants to see diners pull out their cameras and take photos of what would in a few minutes be digested. "
While the line can get blurry, around late 2007, a new crop of food bloggers starting typing and snapping away after the old guard wrote less frequently, got married, had kids, settled down, etc. The rhythms of life never change and I would say that in large part the mantle has been given to a younger, more journalist style food blog that's more opinionated, matter of fact, or to-the-point. Long personal stories aren't usually part of the mix. Still the people behind these new LA food blogs are passionate eaters. While there are definitely some blurry lines between them, here's my set of old school and new school food bloggers that are worth reading (or keeping in your RSS reader or blogroll).
In your opinion, who's in the old school and who's in the new school?

Interesting post. I wasn't quite "in the know" back in 2006 (I'd just started blogging), so the "golden age" is somewhat lost on me. I reckon most all the blogs I read are "new school."
So will the "new school" bloggers (i.e. us) fade away when we eventually get married, have kids, and settle down? Or will we somehow have more persistence?
We are "more opinionated, matter of fact," so how will those that succeed us differ? Will food blogging proliferate, or dwindle?
Time will tell.

I started foodblogging towards the end of that Golden Age (after months of informally posting about food on my own personal blogs, as well as Chowhounding and leaving comments on foodbloggers) and I definitely do see a difference between the old-school and new-school bloggers.
Asides from what Rants & Craves mention, which hits the point for me, I also get the feeling that the new school bloggers tend to have more of a "quantity v. quality" focus. Even back in OMG '06, posts were infrequent by '09 standards -- but for me they just seem more thoughtful and well-written, which is what drew me into the foodblogging scene -- after reading the whimsical, funny, dead-on posts from the likes of Sarah (the Delicious Life) Courtney (OMG Food) and Colleen (of ColleenCuisine), all of which have a more polished style than the more rough-drafty, get-it-out-now-and-edit-later feel of many foodbloggers today (which I count myself in at times.) While I do appreciate the increased frequency and the broader coverage of the food scene, I kinda miss the finesse and elegance of the blogs a few years back.
And for better or for worse, bloggers nowadays know how to network, build community and market -- perhaps a little too well, leading to what I think is "more sizzle than steak."
And you and Pam must be psychic (or all great minds think alike ;) ) - I was going to graze over the same issue in my Friday Quickie this week.

Dallas Luxury Homes
Market conditions in Highland Park Texas currently favor home sellers. During October, there was a 5 month supply of homes on the market, slightly less than real estate analysts consider in a balanced market. Supplies of homes for sale can be expected to remain near this level during the next 2 months, and then increase in a relatively inconsequential manner as we move into the winter quarter of the year, it seems likely that overall Highland Park real estate market conditions will remain more or less balanced for the next six months or so.
Key drivers of current Highland Park residential real estate market conditions are summarized and comparisons with other Dallas area suburbs and livability factors such as current home schools, prices and neighborhoods are also introduced. Links to both an advanced MLS search capability and quick lookups for Highland Park homes for sale in various price ranges are provided on the left sidebar menu.
Highland Park's Dallas Ft Worth rating is best places to buy.
Highland Park public schools have the fifth highest composite STAAR performance index of all Dallas suburbs and Highland Park's principal high school ranks first among the best high schools in the metroplex. Highland Park also has the 18th highest percentage of owner occupied homes of all Dallas suburbs. As the DFW metroplex continues to grow and becomes more densely populated, its proximity to downtown Dallas, Both Love Field and DFW International airports, and the north Dallas business center is likely to make Highland Park residential real estate even more desirable than it is now for people who need to commute frequently to and from these areas.

'Improving Access to Justice' Contingency Fees: A Study of Their Operation in the United States
Richard Moorhead
Centre for Ethics and Law, Faculty of Laws, UCL London
November 17, 2008
This report, written for the Civil Justice Council with Senior Costs Judge Peter Hurst, examines what would happen if the system of Conditional Fee Ageements in England and Wales were replaced with US-style contingency fee agreements. It looks, in particular, at the impact of contingency fees on overall levels of access to justice and on the incentive effects that such fee agreements are likely to have on lawyers and their settlement practices.

The pARTnership Movement demonstrates how arts partnerships help businesses enhance the critical thinking and creative skills of their workforce. It also prepares arts organizations to partner with businesses in new and innovative ways.
- Have you heard about the hotel in Portland that has found ways to showcase local arts organizations in its suites, raising critical dollars for local art nonprofits while attracting visitors from around the world?
- Have you heard about the energy company that puts on a talent show with its employees each year, teaching them to work together better while having fun?
- Have you heard about the financial institution that hosts a corporate art collection and exhibitions of its employees' artwork, encouraging and promoting creativity in the workplace?
- Have you heard about the healthcare company that developed a series of puppet shows for children, addressing issues of health and wellness?
- Have you heard about the aerospace corporation that created a grant program which funds local arts organizations, engaging people to become lifelong arts participants, patrons, and practitioners?
These are just a few of the many success stories inspired by the pARTnership Movement, which serve as replicable models to be re-imagined in your own community. Visit the pARTnership Movement to learn how to create your own partnerships and send us your stories so we can continue to spread the word about the great partnerships already happening across the country!
Be sure to read and share our 8 Reasons to Partner with the Arts, explore our many tool kits designed to assist you in building strategic arts and business alliances, and explore the BCA National Survey of Business Support for the Arts, which details the many reasons small, midsize and large businesses are motivated to partner with the arts.
Need a pARTner?
We're here to help! The pARTnership Movement can connect businesses with Americans for the Arts organizational members in their community. (Not a member of Americans for the Arts? Join us today to get started! It's a good investment.)
Do Your pART!
Ads for the pARTnership Movement have run in Forbes Magazine, The Conference Board Review, the MTV Screen in Times Square, and local business journals. Spread the word about the value of arts to business by placing ads in local periodicals, chamber of commerce newsletters, business intranets, and company newsletters. Additionally, you can host forums for your region's arts and business leaders or hold meetings with your local chambers of commerce to speak of the benefits of arts and business partnerships.
Ideas of How to Incorporate the Arts into Business
Invite the Arts In: Businesses can bring artists into the workplace to inspire and motivate employees, in turn giving artists a new forum through which to showcase their work. Or businesses can bring the arts out in their employees, encouraging them to demonstrate their artistic skills in the office by participating in an employee art show or battle of the bands.
Engage with the Community: Arts organizations can work with businesses, encouraging employees to volunteer with arts organizations on a Board of Directors, an after-school program or through a Business Volunteer for the Arts program.
Marketing Tie-ins: Encourage businesses to work with artists to tell the company's story to its customers.

We recommend! Click Here to Turbo Charge your PC and internet
Even if you have a a water-cooled system like me, you still need to monitor your CPU temps. I work in a very hot room and my poor PC can still get quite hot, which isn't helped because my system is overclocked. A picture of my system is below just after I'd installed the water-cooling and before I'd tidied up my wiring. I've changed a few bits since though (current spec: Windows 7 Build 7100 x64, Q6600, SwiftTech water-cooling, 4GB Ram, Radeon HD 4670):
Two CPU temp monitoring programs that do work with Windows 7 are Real Temp (intel only) and Core Temp (AMD&Intel). My favorite is Real Temp which monitors each core individually, and includes the following features in version 3.o:
- Core i7 temperature and frequency support including Turbo mode.
- NVIDIA temperature reporting with highest GPU temperature displayed in SLI mode
- Ability to run a file or shutdown based on user defined alarm temperature
- Updated interface with modern XP / Vista style and border in Mini Mode
- Start Minimized Vista issues finally fixed
- New RivaTuner plug-in support
- Extra information on the main screen and the retirement of the toggle button
- Switch to UNICODE for better international support
- Adjustable GUI colors and bold System Tray font option
- TJMax updated based on new Intel documentation and further testing
- Calibration formula simplified
- All new CPU Cool Down Test for a more thorough look at your sensors
- Clock Modulation & Minimize on Close options
- New CPU Load meter, log file headings and Distance to TJMax in the System Tray
- 101 other improvements including initial Windows 7 Beta support

Hey guys... Not sure whether this post belongs on such a serious forum or not, but here goes:
When ordering custom-stamped discs for the Norwalk inauguration, I ordered 25 of them as Glides in Z plastic. I picked up a stack of these today to give out to some donors who didn't make it to our party (*cough, SHANE!*), but took the stack to Walker Johnson park to throw them inthe soccer field...
They're rated as a (- .5)
When throwing a flat drive, had a smooth high speed fade to the right, and upon slowing, turned slightly left.
Threw a couple in a stall drive (nose up, straight), and seemed to go straight, and sit softly.
Threw a couple turnovers, and learned that I can throw rollers. (didn't roll very far though)
Don't buy one for a roller, but I wanted to say that overall they had a nce feel, the rim seemed comfortable in my hand, similar to a skeeter, but they were a little loose compared to the skeeter. After watching the reviews on the DX Kite, it seems pretty similar in profile, flight (per the Kite video)
I ordered these as "beginner discs", and believe they're a good first driver option for a newbie, as a single-disc kind of player.
Worthless info? Maybe... Oh well.

Adurs to be dubbed in Malayalam
It is believed that Adurs can make it big in Kerala, as its lead ladies Sheela and Nayantara hail from Kerala and have a good fan circle there, which can help draw audiences to the theatres in a big way.
One of the top heroines in Tamil, Nayantara, for the first time, shares screen space with Jr. NTR. Sources say that Nayantara, who did a bikini act in the Ajith starrer Billa (Tamil), will repeat the same act in Telugu for this NTR starrer. Rumours say that that Nayantara is likely to display more glamour in this flick, as she is facing tough competition in Tamil and Telugu from Anushka and Priyamani.
The major portions of Adurs, including talkie, songs and fights, are been shot at Ramoji Film City. Planned as a complete family entertainer, Adurs has music be Devi Sri Prasad and will hit theatres on July 9.
