I have a lengthy blogroll that is separated into categories.
Normally, when I add a new link, I simply mark the box of the category I want it to go in, and it ends up there.
But now when I try to add a link to the category titled "Attorney blogs" it always ends up in the "South Florida blogosphere" category, no matter how many times I try.
I have a widget cache, but I disabled that it still didn't help. I also have Super Cache, but I disabled that as well and it didn't help.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this exercise I'm going to discuss the difference between linking an image into an illustration as we've done so far and embedding that image into the illustration. I'm still working inside Image in front.ai. I've selected the image. It's got a big X to it, showing me that it's a linked graphic. Now couple things to note here. When you have a graphic linked to an illustration and you take that illustration to your commercial printer for output, you've got to give him the images too. You have got him all those linked files so that they have those links to call from, because the pixels are not actually part of the illustration.
Illustrator is having to go out to that image file on disk in order to bring that pixel information in. Another thing to note is if you take a look at this information up here in the Control panel you can see that it lists Spanishtown dinosaurs.tif which is the name of the linked file of course, and RGB. I saved this out as an RGB image. I did not convert it to CMYK before bringing it into Illustrator. Now a lot of folks would tell you, you've got to convert that image into CMYK before you bring it in, but you don't really. Because both Photoshop and Illustrator and InDesign and the rest of the CS5 programs all use the same color engine.
So the conversion from RGB to CMYK is going to happen exactly the same way here inside Illustrator as it does inside of Photoshop, as it does inside of InDesign and so on. So you can let Illustrator be in charge of that process if you want. In any case, the other option is to go ahead and embed the pixels into the illustration file. That way if you have an embedded image you don't need that linked image file. So you have got everything inside of one Illustrator document, you don't have any moving pieces. That may sound like a great thing, but here's the problem.
Illustrator is not well suited to handling internal pixels. It doesn't do such a hot job with it. We saw that with dynamic effects when you start upping the resolution of your drop shadows and so on, the program starts slowing to a crawl, and that's true if you start embedding images as well. So, I am not necessarily recommending embedding, I'm just showing you that it's here, and why you might on occasion use it. For example, let's say that you want to take an image and you want to turn into a symbol. And I was telling you back in the Symbols chapter that's not really technically possible, but I'll bring up the Symbols panel for moment and I've seen this recommended as a technique by the way.
I think it's a bad technique, but still I'll address it here. I'm going to go ahead and drag the image into the Symbols panel. So the idea is you want to repeat the image over and over again throughout your document, and of course by golly, if you want to repeat something a lot inside of Illustrator then the symbol is the way to go, except where images are concerned. But anyway I'll go ahead and do it. I'll drop the image into the Symbols panel. Up comes the Symbol Options dialog box. So I guess I lied. I told you, you can't do it and here we can do it. So I'll just go ahead and call this placed image and then I'll click OK in order to create that symbol and that's when Illustrator turns around and says, oh actually no, you can't do that by the way.
I just wasted some of your time there entering the name inside that dialog box. So I click OK. Well, what you can do instead is you can go ahead and embed this image and notice up here in the Control panel you have got an Embed button. That's going to change a little bit of information over here on the left-hand side of the Control panel as well. So keep an eye on that. As soon as I click Embed a few different things to notice. First of all, I lose the big X. So I still have the image selected, but I don't have an X through it anymore, because it's no longer a placed graphic. So that X is Illustrator's way of telling you have got a link, when the X is gone, it's Illustrator's way of telling you, you've got all the pixels embedded inside of the image file.
Also, and this is just wacky. If you go over to layers panel and twirl open top story layer, right below you'll see this Spanishtown dinosaurs object. Go ahead and twirl it open as well. It's a group, and you can see it's a group over here in the Control panel. That's because Illustrator decided, hey, now that this image is embedded, I'm going to put it inside a group. I have no idea why it does that. There's no reason for it. I could just drag this item out of the group and drop it at the top and then the group goes way and it's no longer inside of a group. It doesn't want to be inside of a group anyway, it's just a silly construct.
Notice also up here in the Control panel the word Embedded telling you that it's an embedded image and it's CMYK. So Illustrator automatically converted that RGB to CMYK, because this happens to be a CMYK graphic. We've also got this word Image over here so you can click on it to bring up the Links panel and you'll see right there this little icon to the far right of that image thumbnail, and that tells you, you have an embedded graphic. Also if I click on Embedded, notice the pixels per inch there, 279.333 pixels per inch.
So that's still the resolution, but if I click on Embedded and I choose Link Information, that same command we saw in the previous exercise. This time it's going to tell me, all right, the Size is 0 bytes. What that means? It's nowhere near 0 bytes, by the way. It's huge actually. But it's zero bytes on disk, because there is no linked graphic. There is nothing linked to it. So it's zero. Anyway, also notice that all this NA stuff, because there's no links. Then here inside Transform, it tells me this thing is transformed to 25.776%. Where did that come from? It was just 100% a moment ago.
I didn't scale this graphic. Well, it's telling me what the image would be. At 100% it would be 72 PPI. So because it's 279.333 PPI, why then, it's actually scaled down to about a quarter size. So that's all that means. Anyway, I'm going to click OK. I just wanted to show you that. I'm going to drag this image now by its edge and I'm going to drop it into the Symbols panel. Now up comes the Symbol Options dialog box and I'm going to call this guy embedded image, and then click OK. Now I can create a symbol. So no problem.
So now I could replicate this image over and over inside of my graphic. Problem is, you could already do that with the linked file just as efficiently as if you were using a symbol. So there is no reason to go this route. Also, I'll go ahead and undo that modification by the way and hide that Symbols panel. So I press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac. There are a few other things you can do with embedded images. For example, you can go up to the Edit menu choose Edit Colors and choose of this really bad old- school color editing commands.
For example, you could Convert the image to Grayscale and it will look like this. This might be the single worst way to convert an image to black and white that there is. Photoshop offers a gazillion ways to do it, all of which are several times better than what we're seeing here. So again, there's no reason to go the embedded route, except you've got one file that contains the image and you're not going to lose your linked graphics when you take that image off to a commercial printer. So it's kind of up to you. I'm going to undo the conversion to grayscale by pressing Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac.
Now some folks will recommend you do embedded images so that you can take advantage of the Photoshop effects that are down here at the bottom of the Effect menu, but you can apply for example Sharpen>Unsharp Mask. That's the command that you can apply to a linked graphic or an embedded image, it doesn't matter which. It is a pixel level modification, but it's applied as a dynamic effect from the Appearance panel however you go. I have to say where editing images is concerned I don't recommend you apply Photoshop effects to placed images inside of Illustrator. All of these effects are found in Photoshop proper, so that's the better place to apply them.
Then finally here's what I want you to see. This is the big thing about embedded images. I'm going to switch over to the Bridge by clicking on the Go to Bridge icon up here in the application bar. Notice I've got a couple of different versions of this file. Image in front, which is the one with the placed version of the graphic. That is 20 megabytes on disk. If you're not seeing the size of the file, what you do is you press Ctrl+K or Command+K on the Mac to bring up the Preferences dialog box. You switch from General here to Thumbnails in the left-hand list, and then you go ahead and turn on your Show options.
And one of them will be Size, for me it's the last one. You could just turn on a check box and choose Size from the list as well. Then you click OK in order to accept your modifications. I'm going to click Cancel, because I already had it set up that way, but I can see that this is a 20 MB file. Still pretty darn big, but as I soon as I embed that graphic, check it out it grows to 47 MB almost 50. So it more than doubles in size, thanks to the fact that I embedded that image and again, Photoshop is very good at handling pixels, Illustrator very, very bad.
So I don't recommend you go that route, but I did want you to see it. Now what do you do? I'll go ahead and return back to Illustrator. What do you do if you have embedded an image and you want to undo the damage? Well, obviously, in my case I could press Ctrl+Z and Command+Z a few times to get back to the linked image. But here is another way. You can go up to Image, that image link up there in the Control panel to bring up the Links panel and then you can click on Relink and that will bring up the Place dialog box and then you click on Spanishtown dinosaurs.tif file again, and make sure Link is turned on. Notice Replace is going to be turned on automatically even though it's dimmed.
Then I'll click on Place and then Illustrator goes ahead and replaces the embedded version of the graphic with the linked file and we'll see an X through it as well. If Illustrator hangs for you, if you're not seeing a change, it's just acting like it's working or something. Just click someplace in the interface and it should update. That is the difference between linking and embedding. The simplest explanation is linking good, embedding bad where photographic and pixel-based images are concerned. The more elaborate version of the story is go ahead and link your images if you want to keep things lean and mean inside of Illustrator and you want the program that turn along at a nice pace.
If you're more concerned about making sure that every single piece of the file is inside the larger document container here in Illustrator, then embed, but do that as your last step before you hand the file off to your commercial printer.

In Home, on Site, and Webcam Music Lessons
For younger students, teachers often become role models, and for all ages they become friends. Your teacher will be sensitive to your personality and learning style. Teachers demonstrate core values such as perseverance, courage, kindness, and patience, and continuously encourage students to be the best that they can be. Whether a student needs to have more grace for themselves or needs to push themselves a little harder, teachers are flexible to each situation and stay in honest communication with students (and their parents, if applicable).
Amazing Reviews
"My daughter has had an amazing experience with Teach 2 Teach! She so looks forward to her guitar lesson each week, and I can't believe how well she can play after only 5 months of lessons! Her teacher, Kay, is warm, friendly, and extremely organized and really tailors lessons and song choices to suit my daughter's tastes. I can't imagine a more personalized approach. I would highly recommend Kay and any T2T teacher for music lessons of any kind." - ThereseSign Up!

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Tourism officials say visitors to West Virginia spent nearly $4.4 billion in 2008.
A study released Monday by the West Virginia Division of Tourism found that all visitors spent about $12 million a day in the state.
Visitors who stayed overnight in commercial lodging facilities spent $1.4 billion last year, and day travelers spent $2.1 billion, largely on gambling and entertainment.
Adjusted for inflation, travel spending has increased by 4.5 percent from 2000 to 2008.
According to the study, travel spending generated $591 million in state and local tax revenues and directly supported 44,000 jobs with earnings of $912 million.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Officials say there are at least three people dead but no reports of widespread damage from a 6.5-magnitude earthquake in Mexico's western Guerrero state.
The quake shook buildings and caused panic in the nation's capital as well as the Pacific resort of Acapulco.
The U.S. Geological Service initially estimated the quake at magnitude at 6.8, but downgraded it later. A 6.5 quake is capable of causing severe damage, although the 40.3 mile depth of this temblor lessened its impact.
Mexico's Interior Department said the quake was felt in parts of nine states.
Officials in Guerrero state say one man was killed when a roof collapsed; a second died in a small town and the driver of a cargo truck was killed by rocks that fell on the vehicle.
Some roads are blocked and high-rises swayed in Mexico City for more than a minute.

Skip to comments.Nuclear Threat From Mexico
Posted on 04/07/2008 9:39:58 AM PDT by SwinneySwitch
Detonating a nuclear weapon in or over Juarez, Mexico is the same thing as detonating one in El Paso, Texas: The difference is it may be a little easier to effect in Juarez. From the heart of downtown El Paso to downtown Juarez is just a very short distance. Or a bomb on the international bridge dividing the two countries empties into Avenida Juárez in downtown Juarez, on the south and El Paso downtown to the north could do the job and would be easy for any terrorist to pull off. Nowhere else on the planet are two major cities of two different nations so closely tied together and vulnerable or so easy to visit from either side day or night.
One nuclear weapon placed in Juarez Mexico could kill up-wards of two million people almost half of them Americans living in both El Paso and Juarez.
Just a historical reminder: The atomic bomb named "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945 - 62 years ago.
Of growing concern to some U.S. officials is the way the terrorists south of the border are taking advantage of the lack of sophistication on the Mexicans part for their inability and unwillingness to protect their own borders from terrorist infiltration and are using the low Mexican immigration standards and the U.S. open border to slip into Mexico or the U.S. with a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb.
Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey told NewsMax in an exclusive interview that terrorists could strike the American homeland possibly with a weapon of mass destruction.
A terrorist strike with a nuclear, dirty bomb or with biological weapons was "a real possibility." Woolsey's comments echo those of FBI Director Robert Mueller, who told NewsMax that al-Qaeda's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Tens of millions of radical Muslims, mostly of Arabic descent, live in Latin America.
International law-enforcement authorities combating terrorism have growing concerns about a major influx into Mexico of Arabic-speaking visitors carrying Cuban, Russian, Greece, Holland and other European passports.
Many of the passport holders could not even speak the language of their so-called mother land, according to a secret report given to the Mexican legislators.
Intelligence sources have been warning us that they have noticed a tendency among Islamic terrorists to operate in Mexico. Mexico with a territory slightly bigger than Alaska and with geographic extremes that have proven perfect for hiding bombs, weapons, illegal aliens, and drugs is currently whats going on south of our border.
According to the "INM" (Mex. Immigr.) Just last week six adult male Iraqis were arrested in Tapachula, state of Chiapas, while attempting to reach the Distrito Federal of Mexico and to proceed to the United States from that point. In their preliminary declaration, the six said they entered through Central America, reached Guatemala and that there they purchased the false passports from Greece and Holland which they initially presented to Mexican officials when arrested. They also claimed they crossed the Suchiate River (bordering Mexico and Guatemala) on a raft.
The names on the phony passports were Hristov Eroslavov Dobromir, Mirian Sitkinas, Carlos Harden, Stevan Bergian, Vasileios Venetis and Vasilev Martinov Georgi.
Another two Iraqis with false Bulgarian passports were detected and detained at the airport in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Now, Mexican officials are reportedly investigating "a network that could be made up of Mexicans operating in Greece who is selling false Bulgarian passports for ten thousand dollars to European and Middle Eastern citizens." Last year 28 Illegalsfrom Iraq were detected at the airport in Monterrey alone (El Porvenir said there were 23, seventeen of them in a single event) The latest two, "Wisam Gorgies", 34 yr. old male, and "Rana Nazar Peyoz", 26 yr. old female, flew from Madrid and said they obtained the false passports in Greece; their aim was to reach the United States.
The Mexican government is very concerned with the up-tick of known Mexican communist party members who are being converted to Islam this arises from recent immigrants who import new radical jihadi philosophies into their ranks. These people are also active in Islamic missionary work converting the poor and destitute with promises of a better life under Islam.
These terrorists are organized in active cells around the country of Mexico according to a Mexican General who wants to remain nameless. I have seen documents describing part of the drug-smuggling cartels cooperation with terrorists using their existing routes though Mexico to the states. Islamic terrorists are paying millions to the Mexicans to transport their drugs from Afghanistan, as well as weapons and people. These elaborate well defined drug routes run through a web of border crossings pointing also to the complex cooperation between various "smuggling cartels and the terrorists." These belong to jihadi organizations such as al-Qaeda, joining forces with local drug lords, developing and greasing their smuggling skids with money all the way to Mexico aiming ultimately to hit the U.S.
With the nature of lawlessness, graft, poverty and disorder in Mexico, enables operatives of such terrorist groups as al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas to operate with impunity. These organizations have turned Mexico into a logistical attack base.
The growing danger is that the militant Islam terrorists have penetrated Mexico. Some of them have ties to smugglers operating in American states bordering Mexico, especially those with connections in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California.
Experienced anti-terror experts report the Mexican border is the Achilles heel of the Department of Homeland Security.
Islam is on the move in Mexico and throughout Latin America, making dramatic gains in converting the native population, increasing immigration, establishing businesses and charities and attracting attention from U.S. government officials who have asked their neighbors to the south to keep an eye on foreign Muslim groups.
Al-Qaeda and other allied organizations are expanding operations throughout Mexico, establishing both legitimate and criminal enterprises to help fund future attack operations.
According to U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela Charles Shapiro, almost every extremist terror group is now represented in Latin America.
Pentagon officials have confirmed human smuggling rings in Latin America are attempting to sneak al-Qaeda operatives into the U.S.
Anti-terrorism experts say extremist cells tied to Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and al-Qaeda network are operating in Argentina, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay.
FBI Director Robert Mueller told a congressional panel that illegal aliens from countries with ties to al-Qaeda have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico using false identities. Mueller said some of the aliens are people with Middle Eastern names who have adopted Hispanic last names before coming into the U.S.
"We are concerned, Homeland Security is concerned about special interest aliens entering the United States," Mueller said. The U.S. Bush administration officials have previously said al-Qaeda could try to infiltrate the United States through the Mexican border.
Al-Qaeda has become deeply involved in cocaine and heroine trafficking, arms and uranium smuggling, counterfeiting CDs and DVDs and money-laundering activities.
Cash laden Non-Mexicans often are more difficult to intercept because they typically pay high-end smugglers a large sum of money to efficiently assist them in setting up in Mexico or help them across the border, rather than traverse it on their own.
According to the WorldNetDaily many of Americas enemies have chosen Mexico as a target to locate and undermine security in the Americas and weaken America politically and strategically. Americas various adversaries have chosen Mexico as their infiltration route. And American politicians are opening the doors wide to our enemies with NAFTA and The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) programs.
Robert Grenier, who was head of the CIA's counter-terrorism center, told a press conference in Mexico that the Muslim terrorist organizations see the illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in the Latin American nations as the most effective way to move people and equipment into the US. Grenier said that the Bush Administration fears both Hamas and Hizballah may already have sleeper cells operating in Mexico. Hamas and Hizballah have both threatened in the past to extend their war against Israel to include the United States.

This sentence alone may have killed more English teachers than a nuclear bomb would.
So, if we take over Mexico, will all the illegals move south?
I still say annexation just might be the best way to fix the mexico problem.
"special interest aliens" — now that's a chilling phrase
This would be frightening if we hadn't been living under threat of total thermonuclear annihilation since the fifties.
The only solution is to annex Mexico so that we can then enforce terrorism protections at the new borders. It also wouldn't hurt to make the populace start paying income tax too.
They could nuke 5 miles out of Long Beach Harbor before being inspected and would take out everything for a tens of miles with the explosion and radiation, but being in the water, they would also cause mayor trouble up and down the coast with a giant waves. Radioactives one as well...
It would do far less damage to do that in Mexico like that than in water off our shore.
Articles I've read sure seem to have a good point IMO.

Articles I've read sure seem to have a good point IMO.
The REAL Problem for AQ is that if doesn't happen inside of a Major American Media center, LIKE NEW YORK, it just won't get the kind of coverage 9/11 did...
The trade centers effected THEM, the Liberal Media elites, directly.
If the same thing had happened in Denver, it would still be worldwide news, but it wouldn't have had the same effect.
Annexation isn't an answer, the answer is getting all nuclear arsenals under control around the world.
I think the best way terrorist like Iran can get nukes would simply be to buy one.
They have all the money they need, you have elements in Russia probably who would give them one figuring it would be exploded on our soil so for Russia it would be a boost.
Russia could damage America and get paid for it.
They are still ambitious on a world stage and are fast and loose with their security when they want to be with weapons for sale.
Good luck trying to secure nuke's the world over. If you can figure out how to do that I'll kiss your a... Aunt Sally.
Huh? My dear friend, you think if they wipe out Los Angeles and a bunch of the western seashore they would get no coverage for it?
With all due respect, I think you are wrong about that.
Right, securing nukes world over is impossible at this time, which is why I made the point that AQ with Iran could simply buy one someplace and just use it.
Granted, we don't want an Iran in position to make them, but they are rich and could easily buy one or some.

Send home the friggin' illegals - make the Mexican govt choose the path - and they'll clean up their own mess. Right now, border "chaos" and disorder work for Mexican elites - up the ante. See who drops out.
The "mutual" part was the elites and the leaders. Russians built bomb shelters for themselves.
Muslims hide under the unknown. They feel safe knowing it's going to be hard to pin the attack on any one country - and that's the problem.
For MAD to work, the rulers need to know they go with the great unwashed of their respective countries.
That's not an issue but a historical fallacy. Many assumed that total thermonuclear annihilation was going to happen any day. The mutual thing came later, much later.
They are detonating an atomic nuke, not dropping an asteroid. Please do some more research before putting your freak-out on.
There are many sentences in the article like this. I wonder if the author is embarrassed? I wonder if he even knows?
"This sentence alone may have killed more English teachers than a nuclear bomb would."
Public school English teachers can handle it.
Sounds like the poster arguement for linking the U.S. up to Mexico for defense purposes.
No sale.
Hire a team of mexican federales to transport it across the border for a few grand and you're golden.
Hold it right there. You can't lump the Russians into this.
The Russians are not stupid, and giving nukes to towelheads would be. Even the Russian Mob is smarter than that. Allegedly, They ripped off Osama by selling them bogus uranium, because they knew that he was trouble.
Like the US, they have been working to stop this sort of thing. They hand over a nuke to AQ, and it goes to their Azeri buddies, and winds up inside a lorry in Moscow with a lit fuse. Even Putin could see that coming.
All of you guys and gals read this book...the author wrote about this type of event taking place three years ago,
Which would bring the rest of 'em over to 'our side'. And they don't play around.
Nah - here's the problem. If they hit NY with a nuke - there isn't anyone to cover the news...
Damage would still be to the cities, now also more so the ocean and up and down the coast for some distance.
We'd rather NOT have one at all of course, but terrorist can get the oil money to buy one if they have the will to do so.
The Russians have been selling various weapons on the market already, so why wouldn't they sell one to terrorist if they believed it would NOT blow up on them and would damage us? Especially if it is for millions and it is an ex KGB person selling one for their retirement?
We go down a peg, they figure to go up and in a way the terrorist would be helping a cause that could be seen as mutually beneficial.
As far as allowing Iran to make stuff, the way Iranian stuff has showed up in Israel, I think Iran will find itself blown up over this issue.
Around the world, many places aren't as secure with the nukes, so no one is safe.
An atomic nuke off the coast of CA is going to make a giant cloud of radioactive steam and fallout saltwater rain that is going to cover a good bit of LA.
The wave action is going to be negligible for the rest of the coast.
Something to consider, sand rats with a nuke are not going to have the top of the line thermonuclear warheads with yields in the hudreds of kiltons or megaton ranges. They will be closer to hiroshima bombs, and those just do not have the power that you are talking about.
Do you think that goes for a nuke they would buy from places like Russia?
Nah. This is silly. Radioactive water?
Because we can footprint their nukes based on tace elements found in the fallout. The Soviets and the Russians know that if we trace one back to them we'd nuke THEM.
No, they got that bomb elsewhere, we have all our secured and the trace elements were copied to frame us for this.
We are really good guys, so do you Americans want some free tanning lotion to fight against the nuclear fallout?
Nah. This is silly. Radioactive water?
Correction: Water impregnated with radioactive fallout particles. Iodine-131 and Strontium-90 laced water is a BAD BAD thing.
Remember that a large part of the ship is nuke detonates inside of will be drawn up through the nuclear blast as fine particles.
You can't copy the trace elements. They are like fingerprints for nuclear reactors.
Probably not. There will be steam, and not much of that. Otherwise the water blast produces a column of water that rains back almost immediately. The ship, mostly iron, will not become Strontium 90 or Iodine 131. The ship will mostly be broken, fragmented, but not vaporized.
Depending on the size of the device, a significant amount of metal can be vaporized and spread with the cloud. In the Nevada tests of the 50's they started suspending the larger devices (such as Hood) from balloons instead of towers.
Watch out for ships with devices suspended from balloons.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Fifty feet elevation is the right elevation for maximum destructivity unless you are going after submarines, in which case fifty feet below the surface would be a good choice.

Every year more than 15 million ducks migrate annually through South Dakota. South Dakota ducks include pintails, mallards, gadwall, and teal. In the northeastern half of the South Dakota, numerous potholes, marshes and lakes, many state or federally owned, provide ideal early season hunting areas. Along the Missouri River, the migration peaks in mid November with 600,000 ducks, primarily mallards. Western reaches of the state also hold ducks on stock dams, rivers and small lakes. South Dakota's prairie pothole country, located in the heart of the Central Flyway, consistently leads the nation in duck production.Ducks can be found and hunted statewide, with varying numbers of birds depending on the fall migration.

It's only been a couple of days, but since I sent the letter to the real law firm I haven't heard from Martin. I miss the fun, but after a while he quit being interested in answering anything I wrote and was asking about sending money. He even paid part of the processing fee! Dumb, I know, I sent him 200. O well. It was very interesting, and educational.
It is so believing. The email address for the finance company looks very real. I have been talking to them via, email. Its just unbelievable. It would be such a dream come true that it's hard to resist. I have some of the addresses and phone numbers, which I have called and talked to him with.

The addresses I have for the "Attorney" are: (clues to look for)(he has two addresses and neither is a firm)

We have confirmed your documents with the issuance authority and applied for the Approval of Fund Transfer from the Fund Transfer Monitory Department (FTMD), a federal government of Nigeria parastatal that
monitors every fund transfer in and out of the country.
We were unable to obtain the Approval of Fund Transfer consequent that the FTMD requested for a Terrorist/Drug Clearance Certificate and 2 years Tax Payment Confirmation Receipt of the Deposit Account. No tax has
been paid for that past years the deceased died.
Thus, be advised to send us copy of your Terrorist/Drug Clearance Certificate and also contact your attorney to go the Board of Inland Revenue for the 2 years tax clearance. Hopefully you can send us the documents
by fax today thus, I shall credit your designated bank account and fax to you the fund transfer confirmation slip before we close office

Mid-City, Los Angeles
Mid-City is a highly diverse, very dense urban neighborhood in Central Los Angeles, California, with renters occupying most of the housing space but also with notable districts composed of historic single-family homes.
Attractions include restaurants and a post office named for singer Ray Charles, who had his recording studio in Mid-City. The neighborhood hosts eleven public and private schools. A north-south light-rail line is proposed for the area.
Mid-City is flanked by Carthay and Mid-Wilshire to the north, Arlington Heights to the east, Culver City and West Adams to the south, Palms to the southwest, Beverlywood to the west and Pico-Robertson to the northwest. The neighborhood is bounded on the north by Pico Boulevard, on the east by Crenshaw Boulevard, on the south by the Santa Monica Freeway, on the southwest by Washington and National boulevards, on the west by Robertson Boulevard and on the northwest by Cadillac Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard.[1][2][3][4]
Smaller named areas within the Mid-City neighborhood are Brookside, Crestview, Fremont Place, Lafayette Square, Little Ethiopia, Picfair Village, Wellington Square, and Victoria Park.[3]
The 2000 U.S. census counted 52,197 residents in the 3.47-square-mile neighborhood—an average of 15,051 people per square mile, among the highest population densities in Los Angeles County. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 55,016. The median age for residents was 31, about average for both the city and the county.[3]
Mid-City was said to be "highly diverse" when compared to the city at large, with a diversity index of 0.637. The ethnic breakdown in 2000 was: Latinos, 45.2%; blacks, 38.3%; whites, 9.5%; Asians, 3.9%; and others, 3.1%. Mexico (46) and El Salvador (15.6%) were the most common places of birth for the 35.1% of the residents who were born abroad, a figure that was considered average for the city and county.[3]
The median household income in 2008 dollars was $43,711, considered average for the city. The percentage of households earning $20,000 or less was high, compared to the county at large. The average household size of 2.8 people was just about average for Los Angeles. Renters occupied 68.9% of the housing units, and home- or apartment owners the rest.[3]
The percentages of never-married men (43.2%) and never-married women (35%) were among the county's highest. The census found 2,748 families headed by single parents, the 23.4% rate being considered high for both the city and the county.[3]
Mid-City contains historical residential developments within it.
- The Reynier Village district in the Crestview neighborhood is bordered on the north by Cadillac Avenue, on the east by Holt Avenue, on the south by Cattaraugus Avenue and on the west by Robertson Boulevard.[5]
- According to locals, the subdivision was named after a family whose home stood on what it now the city-maintained Reynier Park.[5] The village is often referred to as being part of the South Robertson area but locals wanted to make a distinction between the two and formed their own neighborhood association.[5][6] Rocha House, the 13th Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, is located in the village.[7]
- Lafayette Square is a semi-gated tract just off of Crenshaw Boulevard. It was designated by the city as a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 2000 for its significant residential architecture and history.
|This section needs to be updated. (May 2013)
As part of their long-range plans, the Los Angeles County MTA has proposed the Metro Crenshaw Line, which would place a rail transit stop in Mid-City. The proposed rail stop is at the intersection of Pico and San Vicente Boulevards—site of the old Vineyard Junction. That same intersection was a former rail stop of the Pacific Electric Red Car lines more than 50 years ago.
The Pacific Electric Red Car lines heading west from downtown Los Angeles diverged at Vineyard Junction. One line continued on to Beverly Hills, while the other went out to Venice Beach. The old Vineyard Junction site is now occupied by the end terminal for the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus.
The Crenshaw Light Rail Line would allow Mid-City residents to easy access to the city's east/west rail lines: the Purple Line along Wilshire Boulevard, the Expo Line from Downtown Los Angeles to Culver City, and the Green Line from Norwalk to Redondo Beach.
Currently, the Mid-City alignment is unfunded, and part of the Crenshaw Corridor's "Northern Feasibility Study".
Landmarks and attractions[edit]
- Nate Holden Performing Arts Center - The center at 4718 West Washington Boulevard is the home of the Ebony Repertory Theater Company.[8]
- Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles - Local branch of the restaurant chain.
- United States Post Office, Ray Charles Station - An existing post office at 4960 West Washington Boulevard was renamed in honor of singer Ray Charles in 2005.[9]
Mid-city residents aged 25 and older holding a four-year degree amounted to 16.8% of the population in 2000, about average for both the city and the county.[3]
These are the elementary or secondary schools within the neighborhood's boundaries:[10]
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) operates public schools:
- Hamilton High School, 2955 Robertson Boulevard, which opened in fall 1931, with Thomas Hughes Elson as the principal.[11] At the time, its attendance boundaries included Culver City.[12] and in 1932 they extended as far north as Mulholland Highway.[13]
- Saturn Street Elementary School, 5360 Saturn Street [14]
- Alta Loma Elementary School, 1745 Vineyard Avenue
- Shenandoah Street Elementary School, 2450 Shenandoah Street
- Futuro College Preparatory Elementary School, LAUSD charter, 3838 Rosemead Avenue

- Donna Ro School, private, 4946 West 20th Street
Community Magnet School, an arts and humanities magnet primary school, was located in Mid-City since its founding in 1977,[16][17] for a period of around 25 years. It had been located in an area within the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies campus.[16] By October 2002, Community Magnet had moved to its new location in Bel-Air.[18]
Previously the community was home to the Open Magnet Charter School, which was located on the campus of the Crescent Heights School. The Open school later moved to Westchester.[16]
Notable residents[edit]

Can anyone break into the top four places?
Man City free of the pressures of europe could definately go on a charge, add to that a few quality signings and could they just do it?
If so who would drop out?
I wonder if the ageing Chelsea team could slip up next season!
If the new money means City, Sunderland and Pompey spend loads more than the rest, there could be quite a battle for places in the years to come. Teams would be getting in more debt just to maintain there position, and sooner or later my view is that it will all end up in tears with a big club going 'Leedsey Loo'.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Top FOUR?
I see no top four any more.
Liverpool will be lucky to make seventh this season.

Hahaha, I think Liverpool are heading straight for the Abyss, no CL place, no new owners which they really seek but more so need. Players wanting to leave etc etc

Excellent posts all of you. AndyPandy-PaulC- Felix et al.
A real pleasure to read your debates. The quality here far out weighs other boards incl. MUtd.
So what will happen to Liverpool now??
For example Microsoft is a very good example. here is copany which is completely debt free, and would have gone into debt if they bought yahoo.
So why cannot Arsenal be debt free like Microsoft. They are also a huge organisation, and Im sure in the future Arsenal will also go from strength to strength. After all it is one of the main of objective of the club.
We have I think managed to hold on to players who we have wanted to hold on to
In the case of flamini sorry but i thought the Arsenal made him a fair offer in all honesty
And in the case of Pleb well he is just a greedy bar steward who thinks a) he is better than he is and b) is worth lots more than he is
and thet is the type of player we can do well without neither have to be frank done much after they left
I thought it a shame in flaminis case but no player is ever going to be bigger than Arsenal
It will be as successful as Barce. When our debt does clear, Wenger will have a larger transfer budget. Be able to give larger wages. Most likely in bonuses as this gives a more accountable income and perfomances realated pay. This has often been our key problem, holding onto players and a very rigid wage structure. And soon AFC will be able to compete on the transfer market with other clubs.
Liverpool another which has been spending allot of money reagardless of financial sustainabilty. Again being privately funded and buying players left, right and centre doesnt help. Players such as Dossena, Pennent, Carson, Bellamy, Krompkamp, Keane, Lucas and Babel have all been bought and sold within a short period of time, regardless of recouping the original transfer cost. They also still havent fully finished the finalisation of the new grounds. The Owners both cannot stand each other and neither does the manager have a positive relationship with the owners nor does he understand the fiancal implications of constantly buying players at his wish.
Man utd heavilty within debt of £800m+ (may have gone down now slightly). Although they have been recently enjoying the success of the winning the premiership (which I congratulate them with) are having problmes within the team. Berbatov a £30m striker which the Fans have turned agaisnt. Ronaldo a playboy twat which is bringing more disharmony within the team, with his arrogant comments and emands. They also have Tevez which is a Fan favourite but cannot be bought because of the heavy debt and the £30m fund allocated to Berbatov. Brings more fans disapproval. Allot of Tv oersonalities and Ex players voted AFC out of the top four when Henry left, But history has shown that AFC survived without our talimatic striker and that none is bigger than the club. But can Man utd survive without Ronaldo. As much as I hate him, he truly is a great player with immense talent, and is no secret to say that his form and performane has a strong correlation with Man utd's success.
There will be Challengers such as Aston Villa, Pompey and Man City. But they have allot of building to do, within the structure of their business and club before they can reach AFC. Look at Fulham who are enjoying the success of team cohesion and brilliant tactician. qualities at time which cannot be bought. But more so at times you need LUCK.
As long as Arsene Wenger stays in power I cannot see AFC ever finishing below 4th spot. We have players who can slearly compete with the top four already and such young age, we do not have to worry about replacement like chelsea, saving cost. (yes I know this is long but I couldnt sleep).

I think we may be vulnerable in the short term but not over the long haul
Out of the current top 4 teams we are the only team who is paying back the debt
Man U are adding to there debt as they are paying interest only and at a very high % 9 i think the figure is so the overhang is getting larger at some point they will have to address this
Liverpool are in a very bad situation they need to move and build a larger stadium and they have a large debt same as Man U when the current owners borrowed against the clubs assets to buy the club.
Chelsea have operating debt as they pay more out in wages ect than is coming in in gate receipts TV money ect they would have big problems if their owner decided he was fed up with his "big boy toy"
Arsenal have a large debt due entirely to building a new stadium they have the funds to come from the highbury development (maybe not as much now as hoped) but the debt is being paid down year on year , they have a fantastic academy producing decent players not all will make it at Arsenal but even if the average 25% make it this saves loads of money so will be fine in the long term but I fear we do have short term worries what with all the new arab funds comming in to Man city( eastlands is rented from manchester council) and now Pompy (who need a team and a stadium) I also think as the spanish waiter has shown it is fine to be able to buy players but can you mold them into a team in the case of liverpool not always is the answer and how he still has a job with his transfer boobs is anyones guess
I belive Arsenal in the years to come will always be in top four spots.
The reason being is because of our consistency in all departments.
Finance: AFC are in debt which is excess of £200m. But as long as Wenger can keep us in the CL as long as possible and other tournaments our gates receipt income + TV and lets not forget merchandise etc etc will steadily decrease this.
AFC stadium consistantly has over 50,000 sold out seats for every match. Even our youth team get 30,000 attendence. Some premiership teams and Championship teams would be very grateful for that.
Arsenals property development at highbury ground is yet to finish and should also oull around the region £250m+ (this can debateble due to the current economic limate, hopefully by the time they finish this crap will be over, also allot of the aprtments have been already sold). This will be a huge long term investment as all flats be be leased which will mean life time income.
AFC's structured wage package for players are very prudent and budgeted according to clubs finance and sustainability. Not every player is receiving a high wage because they feel like it, but rather through time and progression they are rewarded.
AFC's youth system will become a integral part of its future sustainabilty. Being able to produce young talent will heavily benefit the club's future. The sucess has also come from AFC's excellent scouting team and network. This will mean being able to channel funds into the right departments such as players wage and transfer budgets to bring in players which will add quality and greater team. Not buying players left right centre for the sake of it like the other clubs. This often brings unstability, lowers realtions with the fans and often attracts and projects the wrong image to potential future players.
It is only matter of time before this debt is rid and AFC will be debt free. Then AFC willl truly enjoy its own success. The greatest asset and success for AFC has been Arsene Wenger and the ability to keep under employment. Through all the hard times and and all the great players leaving for bigger clubs, there always has been one, resolute factor of AFC's progression and that has been Arsene Wenger. With his Brilliant mind, his undoubted success has been keeping AFC in top flight football without the heavy funding which is required from the other top clubs.Wenger also has a great relationship with the boared which is another part of his success, he undertands the financial and business sustainabilty for AFC and utilises the limited resources which he has and the boared provides with full potential. Yes AFC has not been winning trophies and reaping the prize money, but consistency is far greater imporatnce in a businesss and expecially times like this.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Man utd have reaped allot of success since their private ownership. But look at the cost now. Chelsea are in heavy debt, they made a loss (I Think £80m) last year when they went to the CL final, this proves the clubs finances and business plan is far from sustainable. If another down turn in the conomy occurs it will mean serious bad news for Chelsea, as Roman has lost already a huge substantial amount of wealth. And I dont think his pocket's can afford that. Since maurinho's departure the club has seen now over 4 managers occupy the position. This only brings more un-stabilty and uncertainty. And when the Chairmen starts dictating the way the team should play football and disregard the managers expertise this can only bring more trouble.

Arsenal will never be a debt-free club. Arsenal is a very large company and will always use its position to gear its investments if it is possible to make a profit. Arsenal may reach a lower level of debt as the cost of the stadium gets paid off.
The problem that is being talked about is that clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are running up levels of debt that cannot be serviced by the Club itself in a sustainable manner, so the owners are stepping in the cover the debt. This is unsustainable in the long run because the Club as a company cannot pay off its debts. When some of these owners decide to pull out and minimise their losses, the clubs will be in huge financial struggle.
So going back to the topic, Arsenal seem to have a very prudent financial timeline that they stick to, and in this way will always be able to service their debts in a timely manner. And given the current financial crisis, it may be difficult for some of the other clubs to roll over their debt instruments.
So arsenal should remain in the top four for a long time in theory, since the squad is getting better, and they would be looking to add extra quality at the same time as developing the current squad.
Man Utd will always be in the top four, debt or no debt. If they sell Ronaldo they will make a heap of money, and can use this to buy 2 or 3 other world class players without going into further debt.
Liverpool on the otherhand are at a very tight spot i think. They are playing good football now, and have a good coach. But financially they are in a lot of trouble, and this may lead to the selling of key players, or players leaving because wages cannot be met. Besides Gerrard, Carragher and possibly Torres for the short term, they don't have massive loyalty at the club.
Chelsea are in my opinion the most likely to suffer. Ancelotti is a proven Serie A coach, but as we have seen in the Premier League, a proven coach in other leagues doesn't mean jack. Even great coaches like Scolari and Murinho couldn't even hold there own at the club doing pretty well, imagine Chelsea get off to a nightmare start? The club would be in crisis mode, firing people left and right. And when you look at their squad, players are getting old, and if Terry thinks they will get Kaka and Ribery they can keep dreaming. Their owner has held chelsea for a long time now, and it is only a matter of time before he moves elsewhere. He is only using the club as a financial instrument in whatever scheme he is running, and when he has achieved what he wants, he will go and so will players wages, record transfer fees etc. And the worst prospect for Chelsea fans is that the next group to buy Chelsea probably need to be richer than Abramovich. Good luck trying to find someone like that that is willing to take on so much debt.

For a business Android phone, the Photon was really my only dual core option with Sprint;
I had upgraded my original Evo to the Evo 3D and was extremely disappointed.
- Call quality and batter life were very poor, even in comparison to my older Evo
- I was in San Diego for comic con and my phone would leave my charger at 7am and be dead before 1pm.
- This is with only making 1-2 calls and no internet surfing, minimal texting.
- That was with GPS / Bluetooth / 4G turned off.
I need a phone that can last the work day and the Motorola Photon does not disappoint.
- I was easily able to make a large amount of calls, text, email and still have 25-40% left on the battery (7am-6:30pm)
- This is with Bluetooth and GPS on the whole time.
- Phone also did not get as hot as the Evo 3D
There is a very significant difference in call quality between the evo 3d and the Photon.
- Both voice and speakerphone were signifcantly better with the Photon.
- Signal reception was the best of any Sprint Phone I have owned (i.e. was able to get 4G Data in spots where my Evo or Evo 3D could not)
I like the way the phone looks cosmetically.
- Build quality is solid, but not a big fan of the back of the phone
- Screen quality is very good. (i.e. Great Color and Contrast, but you do notice the "Pixalated" look at times)
The Doc Station is a nice touch
- Purchased the Doc Station (Which by the way sells for $99.Read more ›
Here are my thoughts and experiences with the Photon. I'll leave the technicalities to reviewers who know more about these things than me. These comments are just about how "user friendly" I find the Photon, and you can ignore #1 should an international feature not be important to you. You should consider it, however, as you will read in the first paragraph:
1) I was upgrading from the Blackberry Tour, and first on my list of "wants" was that the phone have international capabilities. The EVO and other Sprint phones do not, and after being stranded at Charles De Gaulle airport for thirty one hours several years ago, I never travel without an international phone. I think this is an important feature for any phone user as this is not an "add on" should the opportunity for international travel arise.Read more ›

Down at the end of Wall Street is historic Trinity Church. Founded in the 1840's, it is a great example of the Gothic Revival architecture. There is a graveyard on the grounds where many wealthy and famous New Yorkers are buried. It narrowly escaped destruction from the World Trade Center collapse.
Near the US Customs House there is a Bronze Statue of Bull that makes for a great photo-if you can manage to safely cross the street.
