When I joined international creative artists I was new and naive and had no idea what to expect. And I was an aspiring actor at twelve years old, and when I first meet Helen she told me I was absouloutely phonomenal! excellent! amazing! had out of this world talent! and was funny.
But I am now thirteen and more experienced in the industry and I know how to handle disappointment because thats what s****. />
Anyway Helen said she wanted to put me in vip classes for 7,000 but since I wanted to try it out I took acting classes for 2,000. Then I started to really see the real Helen.
The great agents, casting directors, and talent agents were not present.
It was all a lie ,but the thing I found the weirdest was a large amount of kids in my class would confess and tell me they have been there for a couple years with no agent or booking and Helen was not even helping along the way.
I strongly feel it is unfair to all people with great talents to get such a bad suprise and get a total rip off that will not benifit them in any way.
I would really appreciate if that company could close down and I could get my money back.
thank for your time and consideration.

I made this based on the recipe from Southern Living, not from this site. Definitely consider Juanessa's recommendations. I would also mix all ingredients except for a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese on the top. This would make it a better dish.
VERY GOOD! I accidentally used a 16oz container of sour cream and made my own alfredo, but only made 16oz. It came together very well and was very tasty. Next time I will add shredded chicken. This was a nice change from the usual cheddar casserole. My 3 yr old enjoyed this as well. Thanks for posting!
Made this for dinner last night, omitting the sour cream (didn't have any) and eggs (again, all out) and it was pretty good, but VERY rich. I didn't fuss about layers, I just mixed it all together and threw it in the oven. I also added about a cup of chopped, steamed broccoli. Hubby said next time I need to add chicken. We have plenty of leftovers to enjoy today for lunch or dinner! Thanks!

Release Date:
August 3, 2004
@Philips' series of Twentieth Century Masters includes this Millennium Collection best-of disc for the Boston Pops, which includes a wide range of music, but only two of the orchestra's three conductors who are represented in recordings: Arthur Fiedler and John Williams. (The reason for this is simply because Keith Lockhart's recordings are on @RCA and the orchestra's own label.) For those who have watched @PBS' Evening at Pops since it began, this is a walk down memory lane. Right after the disc's opening selections from Williams' Star Wars score, there are popular songs from the late '60s, including the theme from Love Story and three songs that were hits for Glen Campbell. Other familiar favorites follow, with Classical hits such as Copland's "Hoe-Down" from Rodeo and Strauss' Artist's Life waltz, and finishing with the Sousa standard, The Stars and Stripes Forever. Usually with compilations of this sort, there are problems of inconsistent sound quality across the whole album. On this disc there is relatively no noticeable difference from one track to the next, nor is there really a difference in the orchestra's performance between the two conductors. Both men were well-chosen leaders who understood their audience and brought the best out of the orchestra. For those who enjoy this hour-long sampler, there's a mini-discography of other Boston Pops releases on @Philips included in the notes. ~ Patsy Morita, Rovi

About Fabulous Bingo
Fabulous Bingo joined the realms of online bingo in September 2011 and is from the same camp as Caesars Bingo and Sun Bingo. The brand has been named after the supplement that comes with The Sun on a Saturday. Unlike Sun Bingo who offer 75, 80 and 90 ball bingo to players Fabulous Bingo only currently offers the latter two games. Fabulous Bingo is owned and and operated by Entertaining Play Limited using the Gamesys bingo software. It is licensed in Gibraltar by the Gambling Commissioner so you can be assured of a safe and secure gaming environment.
Whilst players aren't offered a 'try before you buy' bonus from Fabulous Bingo the cash match bonus and the well-known gaming platform should be enough to entice them through the virtual doors of Fabulous Bingo. There is a free daily game on offer called Guilty Pleasures and this offers the chance to win cash, bonus prizes and free slots spins each and every week.
Just like Sun Bingo, Fabulous Bingo offers some excellent game play using the Gamesys software, it's one of the best on the net and as it's only playable at a handful of sites it's still pretty exclusive too! The game screen is crisp and clear and tickets are easy to see, with great graphics, easy game play and chat too. Tickets in the bingo rooms start from just a penny, with regular free bingo on the schedule, and the schedule and promotions page is well worth keeping an eye out for special such as free bingo and big linked jackpots.
Fabulous Bingo also offer a selection of instant win games at their site, some of which have progressive jackpots on offer that reach quite extraordinary heights. There are scratchcards and slot; a little something for all tastes at this site.
Overall, Bingo Fabulous really is a fabulous addition to the newspaper group and we really liked the games and specials on offer.
Terms And Conditions For Special Offer
- Offer is for new players only.
- No current end date or date of expiration.

could someone explain, why there is such a hugh short interest in this stock? I do realize that it traded as high as 20 last year, but down here at 2 an change , does anyone think that this could be taken out, or is it going to zero? any thoughts I would apperciate them, ty
Short interest in SVNT has been building up. See the Nasdaq link below.http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/svnt/short-interestOn October 25, 2010, before the market opened, Savient announced that it had put itself up for sale but that no offers materialized. Because of this the stock gapped down from $22 to $12. http://investor.savient.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=522408Since Savient had no significant revenues and was running low on cash the shorts piled in. Since then, Savient raised capital and is launching KRYSTEXXA. Because of these developments the short play is over.
I would say looking at all the insider buys,That they must think the stock is undervalued. Been in at 2.02 looking for a double from here.
what insider buys? Are you serious?
Looks like the buzz on the street is a buyout.
What buzz?Two hairy nuts
That buzz is the ringing between your ears.

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 281413 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1013 AM EDT SUN AUG 28 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1013 AM EDT Sun Aug 28 2016 Somewhat dirty ridge axis extends from the central Appalachians to the western lakes. Abundant low-level moisture is stuck under, and especially just east of, this ridge. 12Z APX sounding was saturated up thru 820mb, even above an initial inversion at 855mb. Drizzle was falling at the time of the sounding, and that has been coming and going in waves this morning. However, some improvement is underway. Partial clearing has worked into the Straits area and much of eastern upper MI, and some breaks are also noted in nw lower MI (from Leelanau to Manistee). A few breaks/thin spots are also seen from HTL to Mio. Note that cu is already starting to fill in some of the holes that have opened up. Somewhat drier air will move into the region on w to nw 1000-850mb winds today. (Note that 12Z GRB sounding was only moist up to 915mb.) Between that and late August diurnal heating, we will eventually be able to seriously erode the cloud cover. It`s just going to take most of the day in many areas, with sunshine tending to self-destruct this morning). Have stretched out precip chances a few more hours in the high terrain of northern lower MI. But the overall trend for precip has been a diminishing one. Max temps are tricky; quite a bit of cloud cover will of course hamper a diurnal temp rise. But we`re only calling for an 8-10f temp rise over current readings, and that generally looks achievable. May bump temps down a tiny bit anyways. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 345 AM EDT Sun Aug 28 2016 ...Slow clearing today... High impact weather potential: None. Overview: Large closed upper level ridge remains fixed along the mid Atlantic coast. Pseudo zonal flow pattern stretches across the northern tier of the CONUS with several embedded waves. One strong short wave is moving through the northern lakes/Ontario region this morning within the entrance region of a departing upper jet streak. Attending subtle surface low analyzed across Upper Michigan this morning with a subtle cold front/trough crossing the region. This feature managed to spark several clusters of showers crossing the region overnight, including a nice cluster of showers/ storms moving across central lower Michigan and into the Saginaw Bay area early this morning. Today: Short wave trough and attending surface low will push off to the northeast, allowing high pressure to build across the region through the day. Ongoing showers/thunder should be out of the area by 6 pm and I should be able to start the day dry (that said, recent HRRR runs want to kick out some spotty precip across northwest lower Michigan this morning...lake response perhaps). Otherwise, per satellite fog product, lots of low level moisture/ stratus hanging back across the upper Midwest and it will likely take a good part of the day to thin out the cloud cover, especially given our ever decreasing sun angle heading into September. But most areas should eventually see a fair amount of sunshine through the afternoon. Tonight: High pressure builds across the region in earnest leading to a quiet night overall with some fog potential and a bit cooler compared to the last few nights. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 345 AM EDT Sun Aug 28 2016 Low amplitude ridging slides across the area Monday, resulting in few sensible weather concerns. High temperatures a few degrees warmer than Sunday as 850mb temperatures continue to climb. Upper trough and associated cold front move into the northern lakes Monday night as low level moisture advection increases with developing return flow on backside of surface high. Will introduce some scattered shower/tstm chances for eastern upper and northwest lower later Monday night as narrow 925-850mb theta-e ridge noses into the area, with modest mid level lapse rates between 6-7 degc/km. This boundary will continue to sag southward through northern Michigan on Tuesday with scattered showers/tstms. Deep layer moisture (850- 500mb) lacking with this front, which will limit the coverage of precipitation and the amounts. We will likely see increasing afternoon sunshine, at least over northern areas, behind the boundary as deep layer drying quickly pushes southward. It may become a bit breezy as well, with around 20kts of wind at the top of mixed layer. A few lingering showers/tstms possible Tuesday evening over southern parts of our area with otherwise clearing skies. Remainder of the week features building high amplitude ridging over the center of the CONUS with a 1027mb surface high over Hudson Bay nosing southward into the Great Lakes. This will result in several days of dry and seasonably cool conditions. Temperatures near to possibly slightly below normal, with northern Michigan sitting on the western edge of 850mb thermal trough. Some big question marks heading into the holiday weekend, based largely around the potential tropical system that may impact the southeast coast. It does appear that a front will approach the Great Lakes on Labor Day, although this timing is very much up in the air based on the aforementioned tropical system. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning) Issued at 649 AM EDT Sun Aug 28 2016 LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND MVFR CIGS WILL HANG TOUGH ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF THE MORNING HOURS...AND THERE WILL BE SOME ISOLATED VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS/DRIZZLE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR HEADING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR BUILD INTO THE REGION.

Gamefly has used Xbox One copies of Dragon Age Inquisition on sale for only $13. PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are $10. All lowest price. Excellent game to pick up for RPG and BioWare fans.
Pre-owned copies of Dragon Age Inquisition is only $18 at Gamefly. PS4 copies available too. Free shipping. While the game has some flaw (overcompensating open world and initial slow plot) - it's still an excellent title to pick up at this price point.
At $40, Dragon Age: Inquisition is a strong buy. If you're eager for a little bit of the BioWare of the old and some solid RPG gaming, you really can't go wrong. I'm only 20% through the game but thus far I enjoy it 90% of the time. Good stuff.
If you're excited about next week's Dragon Age: Inquisition - you're not alone. Pre-order from MSFT store to receive $15 Xbox points bonus plus release day delivery (must order by 2 PM Pacific time today).
Microsoft Store finally has the gift card + free release day delivery combo available for Dragon Age: Inquisition on the Xbox One. Strangely the offer is not available for 360 owners. Bummer? Always a solid deal as you're essentially getting the game for $10 off plus you don't even have to leave the house. Nice.

Amazon puts a big discount on Dragon Age: Inquisition, today only. All platforms (PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC) have dropped to $30.
Dragon Age: Inquisition for the PS4, Xbox One, X360, and PS3 is down to $40 with free store pickup or free shipping on orders $50 and above. Very decent $20 off one of the top games of 2014 - if not the top game of 2014.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - Game of the Year Edition at its historic low price of $20. If you haven't tried Inquisition out yet might be worth picking up the GOTY this weekend with all the DLCs release. Half the usual $40.
Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY hits an all new low at $20 for PC today at Amazon. Lowest price yet by $8. Limited time offer.
Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTY hits historic low. Probably one of the better Dragon Age title yet and worth a pick up if you enjoy a good BioWare RPG. Comes with all available content. If you don't care for the fluff, base game is $14 which is also historic low price.
Another interesting EA game on sale at GameStop is the Dragon Age: Inquisition - Game of the Year Edition slashed to $30. Ties its all time low of $30. A price not seen since November.
Most of the good deals in the Origin Holiday sale are over, but one that still lingers is this discount to $30 on Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY. Includes of course the base game + all DLC.
Inquisition's GOTY edition is now only $30 - a pretty good price considering it comes with everything in the series. Probably one of BioWare's better title of late. Just make sure you fast pace out of Hinterland to get to the meat of the game!

What is Professional Enrichment?
The professional enrichment program is designed to enhance business students' college education by providing opportunities to meet and network with area specialists; hear business leaders speak; become involved in work-related activities such as internships, practicum, and job shadowing; and attend various seminars and forums that deal with professional development and/or contemporary work-related issues.
Who is required to participate in professional enrichment activities?
All Cotsakos College of Business students are required to complete the professional enrichment component of their educational experience prior to graduation; students must earn professional enrichment points as they progress through their business program towards graduation.
Accumulated points are utilized in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for MGT 4600 (Business Strategy and Policy), which is a required course for all undergraduate accounting, business administration, and professional sales majors. Specifically, ten percent of the grade earned in this course is a function of the number of enrichment points earned: eight points are required to earn full credit. Less than the required number of points results in partial credit being granted. Several additional courses have a "per semester" point requirement; please check with the instructor.

Located a few short blocks from the Peace Center, this restaurant is an absolute favorite among the area's theater-going crowd. In fact, it's such a hit that it recently garnered three OpenTable Diner's Choice awards -- in the best service, fit for foodies, and good for groups categories:

"Couldn't have enjoyed it more. Went early on a Tuesday night, so was not crowded at that time. Service was great and the food was spectacular -- nice size portions (some got dinners, some got tapas), done to perfection (had a couple of special requests) and everything was served in a timely manner. Attending Peace Center after dinner and they got us out on time! Highly recommend." - OpenTable Reviewer
Freshly Caught, Divinely Prepared
Featuring Southern cuisine with international influences, start off sharing one of a dozen tapas choices -- such as Southern-fried oysters or quail breast with roasted fall vegetables and porcini mushroom jus. Then, move on to entrées like the lamb meatloaf -- red bliss mashed potatoes, roasted baby carrots, and natural lamb jus reduction -- or the daily catch from the Carolina coast. Because Breakwater supports local fisherman, as well as local farmers and growers, your meal will taste as fresh as if you were sitting along the Beaufort harbor.

Is it possible to change only in mobile mode

Thank you for your feedback!
Is it possible to change only in mobile mode
the color font of the menu?
Thank you for your feedback!
Yes, via media queries http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/
Thanks a lot to pick this useful information!
meanwhile I am still a beginner and I don't know what to do
with it. :-)
It keeps being a mystery: why on my computer the color of the "menu"
is white and on my mobile it is dark grey?
Do you have any clue?
Have you modified the theme to make the colour white?
yes I did
/*change menu color*/
.main-navigation a {
color: white;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
So on mobile the menu colour is grey because that's how the theme was designed, and you've modified it to make it white on desktop.
It keeps being a mystery: why on my computer the color of the "menu"
is white and on my mobile it is dark grey?
yes that's it
you can see it on your smartphone
You've only targeted the desktop menu when you applied the white styling, not the mobile menu.
To target both use this instead:
nav a,
.menu-toggle {
color: white;
thank you!
almost there,
now if you look at it again on you smartphone
only the "menu" and the two last item of the menu
"partners" and "education' are in white
all the rest in between is still in data grey...
Try clearing your browser's cache and seeing if the problem persists
the problem persists..
hello Andrew,
does this command
nav a,
.menu-toggle {
color: white;
also trigger the sub-menu?
I got the "menu" word in the mobile version but the rest stays in dark grey,
thank you!
Sorry I can't experience your issue. Does this occur on a particular browser (and browser version)?
in iOS safari browser
here is a screen picture
Dear Andrew,
I found the issue: when the link is once visited it becomes grey,
do you know how to diable this on the mobile menu so that when
it is visited it remains white?
thank you!
nav a,
nav a:visited,
.menu-toggle {
color: white;
Thank you so much for your help!

Skip to comments.GALLUP: ROMNEY OPENS SIX POINT LEAD, 51-45 Plus, Triage: Obama Pulling Out of NC, FL
Posted on 10/17/2012 10:44:31 AM PDT by TBBT
But Obama is now retreating.
Via The Meatball:
Politico story on obama pulling from NC http://politi.co/R4uygx
I'm not even going to hyperlink that. Politico can go right into my sex binder.
Obama pac cancel in florida we heard about
Better Romney # in CO and VA
And now this from politicalwire: "Obama circling wagons in OH IA NV NH"
Er... I think he's triaging. Because if the last part concedes the aforementioned states...
(Excerpt) Read more at minx.cc ...
Thank goodness; my mute button was wearing out! Look for a PAC or two to keep up the aural and visual assault, however.
At this rate Obama may have little else left but Crazyfornia.
hmmm. interesting.
Or... PA is in the Bag, lets get a mandate and cement Michigan...
I have been saying since 10/11' watch Michigan, now I think it will be Obama's last stand to save Stabenow's seat and for future UAW support....
DVRs and Hulu are the best things to ever happen to election season.
Never had to see one Obama ad.
R&R should push hard in PA, MI and WI. Make Obama spend money playing defense there.
RCP still has NC and FL as "toss-up" with the total being Obama 201, Romney 191.
If Obama surrenders them, it becomes Romney 235, Obama 201 with Romney only needing 35 electoral votes from among the remaining RCP toss-ups:
Colorado (9)
Iowa (6)
Michigan (16)
Nevada (6)
New Hampshire (4)
Ohio (18)
Pennsylvania (20)
Virginia (13)
Wisconsin (10)
Knocking on wood over here.
Romney needs to open more fronts in Michigan, PA and Wis.
I watch baseball games live, so I've seen plenty.
My favorite is the one with the authoritative Morgan Freeman voiceover.
I keep expecting to hear the President say at the end:
"I'm Barack Obama and, while I approve this message - well, Morgan Freeman's sleeping with his step-granddaughter, that I do not approve."
Folks, I am absolutely delighted and thrilled with this latest polling data and I hope it proves to be lasting trend through election day.
HOWEVER, given all this crap we've been through these last few months and all of the manipulation we've seen with the polls. Before we discuss a particular poll-—whether good news or bad news——Let's find out the DEM/REP/IND breakdown of the poll. Show me the poll's components and I'll show you the outcome.
Does anyone happen to know the DEM/REP/IND breakdown for these latest polls from Gallup?
for those in rio linda,
binder is THREE RING BINDER as in NOTEBOOK.
bbb.bbbbbu....bb...bbbbb but I thought he WON THE DEBATE and was the COMEBACK KID!!!
The problem is poll responses have dropped from 50% as recently as 25 years ago to 9% earlier this year, and have continued to drop.
People no longer answer the phone unless they want to do so. PEW reported that by the time you get an adult on the phone, and find out they are willing to answer a polster, you are down to just 9% of the people you called.
At that level you no longer have a statistically valid poll and there's little meaningful information you can get out of it.
If it drops lower you begin to concentrate TRUE BELIEVERS and they'll tell you all about what or who they like ~ 24/7!
Image polling and the only folks who'll answer the phone and answer questions are folks just coming in off the streets handing out campaign prochures, or helping people register to vote. Imagine a poll where only Dick Morris, lazmataz, J Robinson, muawiyah, etc. answer!
That's what it's like. Doesn't mean our opinions are no good, but they aren't randomly selected anymore.
The Obama campaign team is flying blind. They don't know where to go ~ everything looks 50/50 now ~ even the polls, so does that mean the Democrats should spend money shoring up California or Maryland? Do the Republicans need to try snatching back Texas just in case it slipped away ~ and what about Virginia? What is going on there with both candidates making a speech somewhere in the Old Dominion several times a week?
Obviously I've given up on divining the outcome through polls ~ consider them the black magic that failed. Instead I'm returning to the historic outlook. That means I have my eye out for Romney forces rallying to claw back Obama's 10 million vote lead in 2008 ~ and for Obama's crowd to figure out how it was they lost 30 million voters in 2010!
Bet most Freepers don't know that but the 2010 election was a real race to the bottom. The Democrats dropped 2X as many voters as the Republicans ~ but that's not totally unanticipated. What was an incredible surprise is they lost 30 million voters ~ JFK beat Nixon with both in the 34 million range, and it's actually 3 million more voters than the number who voted for Barry Goldwater 4 years later. Nixon won with 32 million in 1968. George McGovern lost with 28 million in 1972!
The 2010 election was one where the outcome in terms of the NON VOTERS who'd just turned out in 2008 was an absolutely immense number of people.
The polls are certainly not going to show an electoral blowout for Romney over Obama and should shortly start pronouncing it a dead tie almost everywhere but DC. However, historically, the Democrats proved they could bring out 69 million people for an election of truly historic proportions. Yet, they couldn't do it twice. In fact, they lost as many voters as they've actually had for most of their history.
I expect the extreme leftwing candidate to pull many fewer millions of votes than expected by the poll watchers.
If he is circling the wagons in Iowa and NH he is toast.
These next 3 weeks cannot go fast enough for me....
Ohio is where this is all going down. Unless Romney does break out in some of the other states he isn't expected to carry, we could lose this thing in Ohio.
Here is all I can find quickly on their site. The fact that it is a rolling deal over 7 days I'm sure it wanders.
Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone-only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2011 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.
And this from Sept 10.
The Gallup seven day tracking poll of the presidential race released today shows Mitt Romney behind President Obama by a 49 percent to 44 margin. The seven day tracking poll of 3050 registered voters, that has a margin of error of 2.0 percent, samples Democrats by about a 8 percent margin based on calculations from the reported data. If the data is properly weighted for the partisan makeup of the electorate, the data from this poll unskewed would show a Romney lead of 49 percent to 44. By skewing the poll, it gives Obama a five point lead instead of showing Romney leading by the same total.
The one thing that concerns me is the tracking IBD/TIPP poll still shows comrade Zero up 1. They do use a Rat+7 sample.
in my circle, we refer to him as Morgan "Woody Allen" Freeman...
Good luck with that. PA coming through for Romney and Smith knocking the blithering idiot Casey pup out of the Senate are *far* more likely than any Republican success in Michgan.
The tide in Michgan right now is anti-R to the degree that a great conservative rep like freshman Dan Benishek stands a good chance of losing the U.P. district to that slimeball McDowell or whatever his name is, and the McCotter fiasco may yet cost us that seat. Plus it seems that Hoekstra has been all but invisible, and isn't anywhere remotely close in the polls — even reputable polls.
On Hulu Plus I've been forced (mind you, you can't skip ads) to see THE EXACT SAME Tim Kaine for VA Senate ad on everything I've watched on it, for the past month.
Half of me hopes CA remains a lock for him. The only evidence we have here that Obama is even running is the occasional stealth trip to Hollywood and Woodside to rake in contributions.
Can anyone substantiate this Florida claim? The blog doesn't link to anything to back that up and I can't seem to find anything on it.
Sorry but you lost me on your discussion of the democrats shoring up California, and the republicans Texas.
I start with the assumption that Romney will win FL, NC and VA. That means he needs to win OH plus any of NH, MI, WI, IA, CO or NV. Alteratively he could lose OH, and win any three of MI, WI, IA and CO, or any four of all of them. And if he wins PA, he only needs any one of the others.
Personally I think there's a good chance Romney will sweep them all including PA.

Personally I think there's a good chance Romney will sweep them all including PA.
If Romney were to win the popular vote, would CA delegates go to Romney?
Romney needs to secure Ohio. If FL and VA are going to Romney, Ohio looks to be the key.
Maine could provide an electoral vote or two as well for Romney.
Getting back to the first point ~ why political campaign managers watch polls ~ if the polls are no good they'd be stupid to do what they usually do when polls change.
The Dems will get Maryland and California no matter what the polls show ~ and that's mostly because the polls are useless. No sense at all Republicans spending a lot of money in either place ~ just be a waste of money.
HIstory is my guide on those two places.
You really want to piss Liberals off? Tell them Romney can win without Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin. Even better, it's 100% true! I believe Romney will potentially win two of those three, but he'll get enough electorate votes without them! Mitt will win the battleground states of virginia, florida, nc, nevada, colorado, and he'll at least split NH's electorate votes since they're split by congressional district.
IA and OH are not going to Go for Obama... The campaign has been in self denial from day one. Obama won't ever pull out of OH, no matter how bad it is, since he can't win without it, but he's not going to win it.
If PA is polling at a few points, Obama has no chance in hell at OHIO.. Philly EASILY tilts PA 5-8 Points Dem... Ohio doesn't have that deal with overcoming that dead weight. No way in hell Ohio is going for Obama if PA is polling 2-3 points. Not only will Ohio go Romney, its going to go Romney by a 4-5 point margin MINIMAL.
Maine, by default is either 4-0 or 3-1. It cannot break another way.
And then there's people like me. I go out of my way to answer poll calls, just so I can tell them I'm a Democrat who hates Obama, just to mess with them.
No one even pays attention to Cali and MD.. seriously, you'd have to have such a fundamental shift of the electorate that it just isn't going to happen.
Just like No one cares about TX.. you know its going to go red by a large margin.
Yes, the path is possible without OH.. it doesn't exist for Obama without it...
Its a tougher path but its possible.
Obama has NO path but through OHIO
Crazyfornia and maybe...Taxechussets. And of course, D.C.
Following the PEW analysis that'd mean you are at least 20 times more important today than you would have been 30 years ago.
True. I've hung up on several pollsters the past few months. Just no time or interest for inane questions.
Obviously we all have our own idea on how all three of those states should show up, and it's not a tie ~ far from it in fact ~ so, what happens if we get polls telling us that exact same thing ~ a TIE ~ over the next week or so? Would you advise the parties to shore up their base with heavy advertising expenditures there?
It's fun! I recommend the practice to all FReepers!
PA is winnable, but its the toughest of the 4 to win... And for Romney to WIN PA he has to be on the air here, he just has to.. and so far he's just not. I haven't seen any ads for either party on TV in months... well take that back I did see an Obama ad last night while watching TBS.. so I don't know if that was a national buy or a PA targeted ad.. but that was first Political ad for either party I've seen here in quite a while.
Romney isn't at present fighting for PA... the groundwork is in place to where it could be won with a hard fight, but with no airtime, it isn't going to happen.. However even without air time I don't think Obama will carry PA by more than a few points at best. Romney could pull out a shocker and win PA even without airtime, but if that happens, Obama is going to lose a hell of a lot of states no one is even talking about.
So true. The media always talks about how Ohio is so critical to Republican chances, when in fact it is do or die for Obama. We have multiple paths to victory.
I don't believe that was a KOINKYDINK!
Romney's people may be thinking the same thing. If they win PA, it means that they've won so many other states that PA isn't needed. So either way, it doesn't pay to invest in PA.
On election night, if Romney wins PA or NJ, you might as well go to bed, the election is over, Romney won.
I can tell you that in Democrat-controlled Cuyahoga county (Cleveland), I am seeing nearly a 50-50 split of Obama and Romney signs and bumperstickers. Much different than in 2008. Hopefully the trend holds.
Unless Romney does break out in some of the other states he isnt expected to carry, we could lose this thing in Ohio.LOL! If Romney is up 3% on election day (much less the 6% Gallup is tracking today) Romney will win the EC with plenty room to spare. Remember when Bush beat Kerry by 3%, he ended up winning the EC comfortably.
Virginia's also looking pretty good of late. Last four polls show Romney ahead by anywhere from 1 to 3%. CO is trending toward Romney as well. Further, one FReeper cited a poll Monday that showed Romney leading by 5% in the Maine 2 area (ME divides its EVs), which would award him another EV. New Hampshire and Iowa are also possible "gets," bumping his total to 268.
That leaves:
Michigan (16)
Nevada (6)
Ohio (18)
Pennsylvania (20)
Wisconsin (10)
So, Obama will attempt to erect a final defensive firewall around the rest. Ohio or Nevada are the most likely to fall among those.
"Remember when Bush beat Kerry by 3%, he ended up winning the EC comfortably."
Not quite.
President Bush won 286 electoral votes. He needed 270. If he'd have lost Ohio (which was fairly close), he'd have lost the election.

By Bill ArmstrongNovember 7, 2008
A car drives down a winding country road at night, picking up speed. Just around a curve, a motorcycle in the oncoming lane crosses in front of the driver, causing an accident. Instead of calling for an ambulance, the driver can simply put the vehicle in park, turn the key and start driving again. This is just one possible scenario student drivers could encounter while using new simulators in Building 737 at Marshall Army Airfield.
The privately owned vehicle simulators are part of the Army Traffic Safety Training Program and were provided to Fort Riley by Installation Management Command. Twenty driver consoles with automatic transmissions and five with manual transmissions fill a large room in the training facility. Richard Hearron, garrison safety manager, said he hopes to get the room filled soon with novice and high-risk drivers.
"If you go by Army statistics, a POV accident is the number one, non-combat killer of Soldiers in the range of 18 and 26 years of age," Hearron said. "But a high-risk driver could also be someone who just has multiple traffic offenses or Soldiers with DUIs."
Many Soldiers have never driven a POV, and Hearron would like to give them some time on a simulator to learn from their mistakes before they get behind the wheel of a real vehicle.
"This will teach you from the very basics of learning how to start the car to actually driving in heavy traffic in the city," Hearron said. "If you do something wrong, it will pop up on the screen immediately and stop the scenario and then take you back to the beginning."
Two contractors will teach drivers how to use the simulators, in addition to three people from the Installation Safety Office.
As with a real car, the student driver sits in a seat before a dashboard that holds a steering wheel and gauges. The windshield is comprised of three video screens giving front left, center and front right views. Brake and gas pedals are at the normal positions in front of the driver's feet. When the driver turns the ignition key, he'll hear the sound of a starter, followed by the purr of an idling engine. Before pulling the vehicle onto a road from the right shoulder, the driver must first disengage the parking brake and signal for a left turn.
"If you had not put on your turn signal, it would have stopped you and told you that," Hearron said.
To reduce the number of motorcycle accidents, IMCOM included one motorcycle simulator. The device looks like the real thing, minus the wheels. Student drivers straddle the simulator as they would any motorcycle to begin a lesson. Hearron wants to ensure every Fort Riley Soldier gets simulator time before going out to buy a motorcycle.
"When we actually put these in operation, we'll have all the personal protective equipment over here - the helmet, gloves - everything that a Soldier is supposed to wear in accordance with the (commanding general's) policy memorandum," he said. "So they'll actually be on the motorcycle learning before they get out and ride one."
The motorcycle simulator costs about $120,000, but Hearron said its money well spent.
"I think this is going to be a great tool and a combat multiplier for the division," he said.
Student drivers on the new simulators may someday include Family members, such as high school students, Hearron said.
The simulators will be moved in spring 2009 to a new facility in Building 7305 on Custer Hill. Hearron said he would like to make the new facility a one-stop-shop for drivers by adding a motorcycle driving range and some classrooms.

How Did Will Ferrell Do On 'The Office'?
Will Ferrell began his four-episode arc on "The Office" tonight as DeAngelo Vickers, the Southwest-loving manager who will replace Steve Carell's Michael Scott. For viewers who were expecting the laugh-out-loud hijinks of Ferrell's Ron Burgundy of "Anchorman," they may have been surprised to encounter a more muted, sometimes-mean manager with a penchant for physical humor and odd power displays. Those power displays, like conducting a meeting while getting a shave from a barber, could probably be tolerated if they were part of a charmingly odd yet welcoming veneer, but so far, Vickers doesn't seem genuinely interested in getting to know – or love – his staff like Scott.
What did you think of Ferrell's performance in tonight's episode? Were you surprised at the somewhat ominous path the show has taken? Should coming guest stars Will Arnett and Catherine Tate take over the reins of the power? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

[UPDATED to reflect the successful adoption of the resolution.]
While Republican state legislatures around the nation have been working to limit access to the polls over recent years, Democrats moved a non-partisan initiative forward over the weekend to help expand --- or, at least, to help protect --- the franchise for all Americans.
At their Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, the Democratic National Committee unanimously voted to adopt a resolution calling for a "Right-to-Vote" Amendment to be added to the U.S. Constitution.
According to the resolution, posted in full below, the Democrats are calling for "amending the United States Constitution to explicitly guarantee an individual's right to vote."
The resolution also calls on "state parties to work with state lawmakers and others to access the need to petition for a statewide referendum on the November 2016 general election ballot (and all states where this is possible), advocating to amend the United States Constitution to explicitly guarantee an individual's right to vote."
As the document stresses, there is currently no such explicit right stated in our nation's founding document, although several amendments bar the restriction of access to the polls based on race, sex and age. It also notes that while, in the past, the U.S. Supreme Court "has called the right to vote a fundamental right," the court's 2013 decision striking down a key element of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has served to "undermine" that right.
"Of the 119 nations that elect their public officials using some form of democratic elections," the resolution notes, "108 have the right to vote in their constitution, but the United States is one of the 11 nations --- including Australia, the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, India, Indonesia, Nauru, Samoa, and the United Kingdom --- that does not explicitly contain a citizen's right to vote in its constitution."
"A 'right to vote' constitutional amendment applies to and should be supported by all Americans because it is (a) nonpartisan - not Democratic, Republican or independent; (b) non-ideological - not liberal or conservative; (c) non-programmatic - it does not require you to support or oppose any particular legislative program(s); and (d) non-special interest - its application is not limited to minorities, women, labor, business, seniors, lesbians and gays or any other special interest groups."
The full resolution, adopted on Saturday, February 21, 2015, at the DNC Winter Meeting, follows below...

When i hear the first song "Can you Feel My Heart" I thought I was wrong album for a moment, but as I said, this is the first album I heard from BMTH, but when you get listening to him you realize that it is a powerful album. Ultimately Bring Me The Horizon are well energized. It's very noticeable electronic presence. Although guitarist Lee Malia said that the album would influence post-rock, electronic influences abound in this album really, with the addition of Jordan Fish (keyboards synthesizers). In short, "Sempiternal" is an excellent album that really shows what Bring Me the Horizon can do, but as I said, this is the first album I heard from them, so I can not tell if it's the better.But, incorporation keyboardist "Jordan Fish" really do look the sound of the band.

The reason why metalcore is so underrated, is because, well, they're offering the same things. I've heard so many heavy metal albums that constantly contain lyrics about how the sun is going black and that we will rise as one. Well this album is a growth for the band and the genre, and its perfect. BMTH has shown people that meaningful lyrics can be given in any form of music.

But in the end, musically, the band draws influences from modern rockers 30 Seconds to Mars and Linkin Park to create a magnificently maturer sound in comparison with their previous metal-esque material whilst still holding onto that aggression. Skye's new whispering clean vocals are wonderfully fit throughout the conceptually raw verses before picking up with the backing chants in the sing-along choruses. Some recommendations are the lead single "Shadow Moses", which calls back to their There Is A Heaven and even Suicide Season days, while album closer "Hospital For Souls" has some of the most meaningful lyrics in Skye's songwriting history. Overall, despite the newer experimental sound, this should please both longtime fans and newcomers.… Expand

I am no big fan of "screamo" just as with rap music. But the album won me over with songs like "Alligator Blood" and "Blacklist".
There new album, one that I first heard was going to head down a more rock road, disappoints. The first song though, "Can You Feel My Heart", is really good. It has this electronic stutter melody line for the first thirty seconds and it is repeated later in the song. The one problem I have with this is when Oli Sykes screams. He sings softly later in the song, as he does on a couple of songs from the album, it's just this is the beginning, of what I feel to be a new Bring Me, and they don't feel all there.
The album gives off this angsty metalcore clichéd filled feel to it. I know that they are trying to break the conventions of their genre, but they don't really get anywhere. There is almost a pop punk, emo scene vibe going on. It's like they are trying to lighten their sound to be more accessible. There are spoken word sections, like at the beginning of "Hospital For Souls" which feel really out of place. The song itself is the second redeeming quality of the album. Between the opener and "Hospital For Souls" it's just bland and boring and I don't want to listen to it all. I just want these two song and I want a different Bring Me, one that knows where it is going. The album brings nothing new because it is bogged down in conformity. They try, and I must give them something for that, it's just they don't go very far.
The band seem to do a mix of light electronic vibes with the metal well. They did it on "Blacklist" with the help of one Sonny Moore, and they do it again here. So I don't know if maybe they should be like Enter Shikari, but I suppose we shall have to wait and see.… Expand

This article addresses the changing role of statistics in marketing research and uses menu optimization for the fictional Johnny's American Diner to demonstrate how numbers can tell an engaging and actionable story.
Editor's note: Michael Lieberman is founder and president of Multivariate Solutions, a New York research firm. He can be reached at 646-257-3794 or at email@example.com. This article appeared in the April 21, 2014, edition of Quirk's e-newsletter.
The job of the statistician is evolving. It's no longer a number-crunching, quant-only profession as end users expect more dynamic deliverables. A statistician's work is becoming interdisciplinary and, according to Simon Chadwick of Cambiar Consulting, even sexy. At least that's what Chadwick said at the CASRO Digital Conference in San Antonio in March. Chadwick also said that with the exponential explosion of data, storytellers will be more and more in demand. The C-suite will be searching for those who can sift through the noise and distill the story of the research down to a manageable action plan.
I write novels. As a hobby. I've written nine so far - four published and none successful. Writing is a terrific hobby for a statistician. As I like to say to my clients, if one can write a novel, one can write a memo.
Creativity is in.
When my students in the Principles of Market Research online course from the Georgia Center for Continuing Education encounter the statistical module section and begin throwing panicked questions my way, I always respond: Statistics is a numerical description of an event. If you understand the event, the methodology follows.
When beginning a new project, I ask the client "At the end of the process, what would you like to hold in your hand?" My golden rule in any marketing research project is to begin with the end in mind.
In other words, solve the problem. Then work your way backward on methodology.
I would like to illustrate this point using a fictional study that begins with the end in mind and then creatively uses statistics to give the client the tools to make a business decision.
Johnny's American Diner is a fictional diner chain located primarily in California (named after Marlon Brando's character in The Wild One). Johnny's American Diner has begun to open branches in the South and in major malls in the Philadelphia area. Given its expansion, Johnny's American Diner would like to revise its menu.
The first step for a menu redesign is to decide which items to remove. That's where we, the researchers, come in. Johnny's American Diner hired us to design a study with two goals in mind: 1) to evaluate the existing menu and 2) to test-drive possible menu items.
Creative statistics were employed in this first task.
The first section of the Johnny's American Diner study was to list all of the current menu items. Respondents were asked to use a scale from 1 to 5 to rate how likely they would be to order each item. This is a typical construction for a total unduplicated reach and frequency (TURF) analysis. Variables were recoded (1, 2, 3 = 0; 4, 5 = 1) into not likely or likely. These values will play an important role in the analysis later, even though TURF was not a primary deliverable in the study.
The second section of the study, originally developed by Mitch Markel of the Benenson Strategy Group, was constructed specifically to evaluate the sequence of menu choices respondents make. Johnny's American Diner envisioned a survey where respondents would be isolated within menu categories. Based on their choices in the TURF section and what time of day they said they usually visited Johnny's (referred to as daypart), respondents were placed into splits where they were asked to choose among menu items. No respondent was placed into more than two menu categories. Below is a table of how the selection of menu category was performed.
Possible Menu Category
Breakfast - Drinks
Lunch/Dinner (selected Burger/Sandwich)
Burger/Sandwich - Sides - Drinks - Desserts
Dinner (selected Dinner Combo)
Dinner Combo - Drinks - Desserts
A respondent would be sent to a menu category and asked "Which of these items would you order first?" Once they chose, they were then asked "If this item were not available, what item would you choose next?"
Sequence weights were created in the following way: If an item was the first in a category, it was given a sequence weight of 1. For example, there are 12 possible drink items. If one chose Large Lemonade first, his sequence weight would be 12/12 = 1. If Large Soft Drink was chosen second (after Large Lemonade is removed from the choice set), it would receive a sequence weight of 11/12 = .92. And so on until the respondent answers "No other item."
Given that different categories had different number of items, the weights are not balanced. Burgers - Sandwiches had 15 forced choices so the second-choice weight would be 14/15 = .93. For Dinner Combos, a category with only 10 items, a second-choice would be 9/10 = .90. Very few respondents ran through an entire category but the same problem would hold at the bottom. The lowest weight in Dinner Combos would be 1/10 = .10. The lowest in Burgers - Sandwiches would be 1/15 = .07. All items that were not chosen received a sequence weight of 0.
An adjustment was needed to view the choice weights across categories equally.
The full-service marketing research client and I brainstormed. We came up with a creative solution. We decided to weight each category by the number of items ordered in the TURF section to balance out the sequence weights.
Each respondent was likely to order a different number of items from differing categories. So we decided to add up all his menu choices, then divide that number by each category. The individual category weight would be calculated based on the number of items from each category a respondent chose (Table 1).
The final item weights were then calculated using the two weighted dimensions.
Item Weight = Sequence Weight x Category Weight
We now have weights for all the items on Johnny's menu (many of them 0 because they were not chosen) and it's time to start developing the picture. But a typical weight might look like this:
Sequence Weight
Category Weight
Item Weight
Let's say that we averaged the item weight across all the respondents and found that Large Soft Drink has an average weight of .35. What does that mean? Is that good?
The answer, as most statisticians will tell you, is "That depends." It depends on whether that weight is higher or lower than the weight of a Cheeseburger Deluxe, for instance. How much higher? How does Johnny's American Diner make the decision of which items to cut - and which to promote - based on .35?
Another word to the wise: Always present your findings in a manner that the end client can understand at a glance. In this case, the answer is creating percentiles.
A percentile is a measure indicating the value below which a given percentage of item weight in a group of item weights falls. For example, the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20 percent of the item weights may be found. If a score is in the 86th percentile, it is higher than 86 percent of the other scores. Creating percentiles is easy. The highest value is 100 percent and the lowest is 0 percent. The percentages between are the relative distance each item is from the top or bottom.
We reported the percentiles to the Johnny's management team. The initial report, given that Johnny's wants to cut items from the menu, shows the bottom 12 items by item-weight percentile (Table 2).
The production of percentiles for item weights is also very flexible. Johnny's asked us to filter the item weights by only those who visited the restaurant for breakfast. Moreover, they would like to see only breakfast items in the percentile chart. Table 3 shows the percentile output of this filtered request.
At the end of the process, Johnny's American Diner received the tools to make decisions. We delivered an easy-to-read snapshot of Johnny's menu-item demands.
As the creation of data multiplies at an exponential pace, it falls more and more on the marketing researcher not only to design the study but to creatively produce actionable results.
You don't have to be a statistician - or a novelist - to create results similar to Johnny's American Diner's choice item weights. You must simply understand the question that needs to be answered, the goal of the study to be reached and how to use simplicity and statistics to deliver sophisticated output.

And yet we NEVER recieved a bill or monthly statement from them. Just harrassing calls. At one point they even added insurance to our account (10x the amount that we were paying our insurance company.) And it took over a month of constant calls and faxes of proof of insurance to get them to remove that charge.
When our furnace broke in the dead of winter, and a month later as the snow melted sum pump failed and flooded our living room and the bedroom/office, we again fell be hind. This time we did not have bankruptcy to fall back on, and they started foreclosure proceedings. We contacted a home modification lawyer, costing us the rest of our savings. The lawyers contacted HomEq and tried to work out a deal. The offer that HomEq left on the table as a final offer required a down payment that was more than we could afford. (all the while, the foreclosure was still looming closer.) THREE DAYS after the final offer was made and our counter offer was refused, our house went up to auction...
BTW - we were NEVER notified that hour home was up for auction! We found out from some cold call real estate office who had got a hold of the foreclosure notice, and THEY told us that our house going to be sold within the month.
With the current market, our home is worth 20,000 LESS than what our loan was for. We were told by our lawyer that they can now come after us for the remainder of the amount of the loan when the sale of the house is final. If that is the case, it will force us to change a chapt. 11 to a chapt. 7 bankruptcy. I refuse to pay them another dime!
As much as I am saddened that we were unable to save our home, thank God, we were not able to come up with the $10,000 deposit HomEq requested for the home modification. That money was only to "repay the debt". I found out just recently that there are others who have paid the amount, but, where then told that the payment they made DID NOT guarantee a home modification. That money was applied to HomEq's legal fees, late payment fees, and past due amounts. Not towards a loan modification. They had to come up with another outrageous amount in order to modify the loan!
There are some laws in IL that say that you must be notified about any foreclosures and sales etc. and some other info that I plan to read over. I will take them to court if I can. Of course I am given this info after the fact, but I still plan on contacting my attorney general regarding the questionable practices of HomEq to see if there is anything they can do at this point. They are criminals hiding behind legal documents and loopholes and need to be shut down! If you live in IL... maybe this info can help you before the crooks at HomEq get your home too! http://www.ag.state.il.us/consumers/index.html

The fees they imposed om you were due to your being behind on your payments, HomEq did not force you into bankruptcy, once again poor financial planning on your part did.
As far as placing insurance on your home, you are required to submit proof of insurance, the only way you were lender placed is because you didn't-your homeowners insurance sends notices of cancellation to the mortgage companies, you then receive three notices to submit proof of coverage-if you don't in the end you are force placed and yes it is higher than what you pay and MUCH higher than it would have been if you had mailed or faxed proof of coverage...once again your bad..
Why would you contact a modification attorney and pay them the money you could use for your mortgage payments? HomEq modifies loans that qualify for free-if you did not qualify it is due to your mortgage lenders rules-HomEq is a servicer for your lender-blame the lender

Please note that Gatlinburg does have two bed lock-off units that have a washer and dryer enclosed inside. I know because I asked. Also, my sister was placed in a beautiful two bed lock-off in the same week. She, also, made reservations two months prior.

When owners exchange from their home resort to another Westgate resort, they are doing an internal exchange, or developer exchange. A 2 bedroom will exchange to a 2 bedroom at the destination resort. A 1 bedroom deluxe will exchange to a 1 bedroom deluxe. Due to Gatlinburg being the home resort for those who own there, we have to keep certain units available for them. We do not guarantee a particular type of unit when exchanging in.
We are not aware of a sleep 4 two bedroom unit. However, if you received a sleep 4 unit, this would be a 1 bedroom unit. Please contact Owner Reservations so that we can address that for you.
We thank you for the opportunity to explain the details of developer exchanging from one property to another. We wish to provide you with many quality vacation experiences in the coming years!
