I purchased 2 magazines and payed cash for them. They instructed me that processing would take up to 120 days. Since then I have been waiting for the magazines to arrive and they have not.
I tried contacting the phone number that they provided me and whenever I call, I get the answering service. As of April 29, 2009, I have not received the 2 magazines I have ordered.
Next time someone comes to my door selling magazines or trying to earn points for school, I will think twice and would probably never buy from a door to door salesperson again. How sad, you just can't trust people these days.

To ensure peace of mind, your marine generator should be installed properly and that starts with using the right parts of the best quality
Marine Generator Installation Kit
Our kits are thoughtfully put together using the same high quality parts we use in our professional marine installations. They include the known parts necessary to complete an installation, without you or your installer having to spend time sourcing additional parts.
Silent Exhaust Kit
This optional kit features the new Halyard gas/water separator and is highly recommended for quiet operation. Fitted in the exhaust line after the waterlock and muffler, it allows the cooling water in the exhaust gas to drain down and out of a through-hull fitting below the waterline, before the exhaust exits the side of the boat. This eliminates the sound of the ejected cooling water splashing onto the outside water surface and has a secondary effect of being an additional silencer.
Siphon Break Kit
A siphon-break is required if the generator is to be located close to or below the waterline. If the level of the waterline (including when the boat heels over) is higher than the generator exhaust injection point, water can siphon into the exhaust system and flood back into the engine through the exhaust valve, when the engine is stopped.
Fuel Pump Kit
A fuel pump kit is only required if the generator is to be located above the mean level of the diesel fuel by a height greater than 750mm. If the level of the generator is above the fuel but not by as much, then a fuel pump kit may still be warranted if the generator is a long way from the fuel tank, say more than 5m.

WASHINGTON (KKCO) - Absurd and unfair – that's what U.S. Senator Michael Bennet had to say Wednesday about infants in Colorado being denied health insurance.
The Senator made the remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate Wednesday.
He says insurance policies must be changed and used 11 News Today Morning Anchor Bernie Lange's baby as an example.
Four-month-old baby Alex was denied health insurance because he was considered too big for his age.
Rocky Mountain Health Plans has since reversed its policy and Alex is now covered.
Bennet says insurance companies need to get rid of all denials of coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

Schuler, Eugene Kieran Jr. KINDERHOOK A kind and gentle soul has left us. Eugene "Gene" Kieran Schuler died peacefully at home in Kinderhook, on April 17, 2013 after a courageous struggle with cancer. Gene was a loving and generous husband, father, friend, and mentor who lived the words of Micah, "Do justice. Love kindness. Walk humbly." Born in Allentown, Pa., on March 23, 1947, Gene was the son of the late Eugene and Eleanor Schuler. After graduation from the
University of Notre Dame
, he trained as a Naval air pilot. A VISTA volunteer in West Virginia in 1971 to 1972, Gene worked passionately for the rights of miners with black lung disease and on eminent domain rights. With a degree from the Graduate School of Public Affairs at UAlbany, Gene held various positions in the Capital Region, including with the Greene County planning department, the UAlbany School of Social Welfare; Research Foundation director of technology transfer; UAlbany assistant vice president for research and director, technology development; CAO of Ordway Research Institute; and executive director, Lighting Cultivator, Inc. He enjoyed mentoring as an adjunct professor at Albany Law School. In 2012, Gene was presented with the national Bayh-Doyle Award by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM). Through the years, Gene gave his time and talents to many organizations, including Catholic Charities, Pyramid Life Center, Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce, Center for Economic Growth, Community Loan Fund, Habitat for Humanity, Village of Kinderhook, Valatie Santa Claus Club, St. John the Baptist Church, Ichabod Crane Regional Food Pantry, and the Capital area Huntington's Disease affiliate. Gene loved all things Irish, Notre Dame, the Adirondacks, canoe trips, traveling the world, Christmas, daffodils, lilacs, forsythia, biotechnology, good mysteries, feeding birds, gardening, and being with his nephew, Max. He treasured his time with friends around the world, especially his Pyramid Life Center friends. His sense of humor, appreciation of great jokes, kindness and compassion were well-known. Gene will be deeply missed by those whose lives he touched, especially Pat, his wife of 41 years, and Jenn, his amazing daughter. He is also survived by his brother, John (MaryLou); brothers-in-law, James Pitzvada and John (Joanne) Pitfido; sisters-in-law, Chris Loscavio, Mary Harrigan (Chuck), and Barbara Pitfido (John); and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Statoil's second quarter: Better than the average oil company
Update: July 28, 2015. Statoil (STO) reported second quarter results today (July 28) that beat consensus estimates on both earnings (NOK3.15 a share vs. the NOK1.62 consensus) and revenue (NOK138.5 billion vs. NOK124.8 billion analyst consensus.)
That doesn't mean Statoil has found some way to magically sell oil for a higher price than competitors. Second quarter earnings may have exceeded analyst estimates but they still fell 27% year over year.
What's the secret to the Norwegian oil company's relative success at a time when oil continues a collapse from $108 a barrel in January 2014 to a July 28 close at $53.15 (for European benchmark Brent crude)?
Statoil's quarter is a checklist for what an oil company has to do right these days to stand a chance of navigating a plunge in oil prices that still has a while to run. (Statoil is a member of my Jubak Picks portfolio. The position is down 36.4% since I added it on May 10, 2012. )
First, Statoil announced a further cut to its capital-spending budget to $17.5 billion for 2015. That's down from $20 billion in 2014 and a projected budget of $18 billion reported last quarter. At the same time as the company continued to cut capital spending production climbed with second quarter production, adjusting for asset disposals, up 7% year over year.
Second, Statoil has been able to cut costs—and increase efficiency—so that it is finding and producing more oil even with lower capital spending. Unplanned losses (that is production losses that aren't the result of planned events such as maintenance but are the result of accidents or weather) have fallen from 12% in 2012 to 5% in 2014. Efforts to increase the percentage of oil recovered from mature and declining off shore fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf have pushed the recovery factor up to 50% with the company targeting 60% recovery. (Increasing oil recovery is an especially profitable endeavor since the company has already built out necessary infrastructure in the region.) Operating expenses fell an additional 15% quarter to quarter.
Third, Statoil has either been very lucky or very good at finding new oil to diversify its asset base beyond its traditional concentration in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The company has announced promising finds in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, off the east coast of Canada, and off both coasts of Africa (Angola and Tanzania.) Statoil has also recently added U.S. shale assets in the Marcellus, Eagle Ford, and Bakken geologies.
All this is backward looking, of course. Looking toward the future, Statoil has potentially lucrative positioning as a major supplier of natural gas to Europe at a time when Western European countries are looking to reduce their emissions of green house gases and to find alternative sources of natural gas to reduce reliance on Russian supplies.
Looking that that same direction, the big uncertainty is whether Statoil can continue to reduce costs and increase production at rates that will enable the company to maintain the current $0.221 quarterly dividend. Right now the company's payout ratio is running at 80% to 100%, which doesn't leave Statoil with a huge margin for further drops in the price of oil. In the conference call, the company said that it projects that it can maintain the current dividend payout (for 2015, management said) while reducing the payout ratio. The stock currently yields 5.4%.
As of July 28, looking at the likelihood that oil prices will stay low for a while, I'm cutting my target price to $24 a share by June 2016 from a prior $28 a share. Statoil closed at $16.48 in New York trading on July 28.
Exxon Mobil
Normally I look for dividend yields above 4% or 5% for my dividend income portfolio.
On this measure, Exxon Mobil (XOM) with its 3.35% yield isn't exactly an astounding opportunity.
But something out of a recent report from Goldman Sachs caught my eye: Exxon Mobile (XOM) will be "the only U.S. or European major that can generate sufficient free cash flow to cover its dividend near $60 a barrel in 2016-17." While other oil majors, Goldman continues, will be struggling to keep the dividend flat, Exxon Mobil will be in a position to increase the dividend for the next several years.
Goldman is, at the moment, extremely bearish on oil prices, lowering its forecast in the last few days to an average in 2015 of $58 a barrel for Brent and $52 for West Texas Intermediate. (Brent closed at $66.54 a barrel today, May 21, while West Texas Intermediate closed at $60.72 a barrel.) But while you probably think (as I do) that Goldman's forecast is too pessimistic, I would make the point that oil prices could well stay at $70 or less for a while. And in that environment, oil companies aren't going to be awash in cash for distribution to shareholders as dividends or buybacks.
Except for Exxon Mobil.
Standard & Poor's has recently made the same point. "We see 2016 operating cash flow well in excess of capital spending, raising flexibility for returns to shareholders."
And so has Morningstar: We "continue to see the dividend as the safest of all of the
oil majors" with a significant step up in free cash flow by 2018
A decent yield now, a safe yield going forward, and the prospects of continued dividend growth even during this period of depressed oil prices. (Exxon Mobil has grown its dividend at a 10.5% annual rate over the last five years.) Sounds like a good deal for income investors to me. I'll be adding ExxonMobil to my dividend income portfolio tomorrow May 22. The shares closed at $87.21 today, May 21. The 52-week high/low range is $104.76 to $82.68 a share. (Exxon Mobil is already a member of my Jubak's 50 long-term stock portfolio.)
So where does all this cash flow come from?
Partly it's a result of Exxon Mobil winding down the capital spending stage on seven big projects that will go on line this year. (That is they will shift from eating cash to producing it.) And partly it's a reflection of Exxon Mobil's downstream strength. The company's profit from its refineries doubled year over year in the first quarter. Low oil prices certainly hurt profits in the company's up stream production business but they push up profits as refineries can buy crude at bargain prices. Despite distributing $3.9 billion to shareholders in the first quarter, Exxon Mobil's cash position grew by $500 million in the period.
Of course, if Goldman is wrong and oil prices finish stronger in 2015 than projected, Exxon Mobil (and dividend investors) ought to do okay too.
Update Hi-Crush HCLP
Update January 20: Income investors are intensely watching dividend changes in the energy sector.
Before the plunge in oil prices, energy stocks attracted lots of dividend money because the sector was one of the few places where you could get a 5% return.
Of course, now, plunging oil prices have put those dividends at risk. The damage has been clearest in the oil service sector where SeaDrill (SDRL) cut its dividend completely and where shares of companies such as Ensco (ESV) and Transocean (RIG), now yielding 9.9% and 18.8%, respectively, are trading as if their dividends are in danger. (More on SeaDrill and Ensco in the next few days; both stocks are members of my Dividend Income portfolio http://jubakam.com/portfolios/ )
Is the damage about to expand to take in energy master limited partnerships in pipelines and sand for fracking? So far the evidence says No. But that answer is by no means definitive. What we've been seeing over the last few weeks has been limited but significant increases in dividend payouts by the solid companies in this group.
So, for example, on January 15, fracking sand MLP Hi-Crush Partners (HCLP) announced that it would raise its payout by 8% to 67.5 cents a unit from 62.5 cents. (The record date is January 30 and the payment date is February 13.)
I don't think this means Hi-Crush is out of danger—or that the shares are about to immediately recover to the $65 range of last September from the current $37 a share price on January 21. There is just the little issue of whether the slowdown in drilling activity in the U.S. oil and natural gas shale geologies will cause a bigger than expected drop in sand volumes and prices. We'll have a better feel for that when Hi-Crush reports earnings and revenue on February 5.
What I really want to know as I prepare to collect another 6.95% payout from Hi-Crush is whether that "impairment" in the share price is temporary or permanent—and how temporary it might be. Hi-Crush is a member of my Dividend Income portfolio.
Sell Pfizer
I'm going to use today's (July 18) rather surprising upward move in US stocks-despite a big upswing in market nervousness yesterday-to sell Pfizer (PFE) out of my Dividend Income portfolio http://jubakam.com/portfolios/jubak-dividend-income/. (The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up 0.96% as of 3:00 PM New York time.)
After the failure of the big drug company's efforts to buy AstraZeneca (AZN), Pfizer seems a cash cow without a strategy. Not that the attempt to buy AstraZeneca was birilliantly creative-the deal would have let Pfizer move its tax-jurisdiction to the United Kingdom from the United States for huge savings. But it wouldn't have done much if anything to fix the combination of ineffective research and expiring patent protections (Celebrex, the company's $2.9 billion (in 2013 sales) arthritis blockbuster, is scheduled to go off patent in 2015) that are projected to slow sales growth to a crawl. Morningstar projects Pfizer's sales growth at 1% a year over the next decade; share buybacks will raise earnings per share growth to 3% a year. In its year-by-year earnings per share projections, Credit Suisse calls for earnings per share to grow to $2.24 in 2014 from $2.22 in 2013, and then to $2.30 in 2015, and $2.61 in 2016.
Even with a 3.4% current dividend yield, those projected growth figures don't add up to much in the way of upside capital appreciation.
If all I was looking for at the moment was safety, however, I'd consider hanging onto Pfizer.
But the combination of rising nervousness-the VIX volatility index climbed by 32% yesterday-and a rise in geopolitical tensions argue that I'd like to have a little cash on hand in case events in the Ukraine or in Gaze over the next few days result in a drop that might give me a buying opportunity in a dividend stock with a higher yield and better prospects for capital gains.
I would also probably hang onto Pfizer if I didn't have a good replacement up my sleeve-but I do (and I'll tell you what it is next week) and so it's time to sell with a small 0.63% loss in share price (made up for by that near 3.5% dividend) since I added these shares to the Dividend Income portfolio back on February 6, 2014.
The stock goes ex-dividend on July 30 in case that income in hand (as opposed to capital locked up in the share price) is important enough to lead you to think about putting off a sale. (Share prices do tend to drop after the payout to match the dividend payout. Otherwise, if you think about it, dividends would create value for investors out of what is actually a distribution of cash that lowers the balance in a company's treasury and raises it in shareholder wallets).
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. When in 2010 I started the mutual fund I managed, Jubak Global Equity Fund, I liquidated all my individual stock holdings and put the money into the fund. The fund shut its doors at the end of May and my personal portfolio is now in cash. I anticipate putting those funds to work in the market over the next few months and when I do I'll disclose my positions here.
The bond market looks to have stabilized–why that's important to dividend stocks
There's increasing reason to believe that the Treasury market has stabilized on the fundamentals—until the next panic when the Federal Reserve again begins to talk as if a decision to taper off its program of buying $85 billion a month in Treasuries and mortgage-backed assets is just around the corner.
And if the Treasury market has stabilized, it means that the weakness in dividend stocks (calling it a sell off would be an overstatement) is at an end—for a while—too.
The latest piece of evidence comes from a Wall Street formula called the term premium, which measures the risk of holding long-term bonds by factoring in the market's outlooks on inflation and economic growth.
If you assume that consumer inflation will continue for the rest of 2013 at something like the current low rate–the lowest rate since 2009; and if you assume that U.S. economic growth will stumble ahead for the rest of 2013 by something like 2% or so rather than "racing" ahead at 3%, then the current 10-year Treasury yield of 2.54% is about right.
The long-term reading on the term premium has been an average reading of 0.40% in the decade before the financial crisis in 2007. It's now at 0.46%, according to Bloomberg. As recently as May 2013 the term premium was a negative 0.5%. The term premium has been in negative territory since October 2011 and turned positive only in June 2013.
What does all that mean? The term premium is the extra yield that investors require before they will buy a long-term bond instead of a series of short-term bonds. If, for example, the yield on a 10-year Treasury were 5.5% and holding a series of 1-year Treasury bills over the next 10 years would be expected to yield 5%, then the term premium would be 0.5 percentage points or 50 basis points.
In most periods you'd expect the term premium to be positive since investors would, normally, require extra yield to induce them to hold a longer-term bond. But under some circumstances the term premium would be negative. If, for example, investors wanted to lock in a long term yield instead of taking on the risk of rolling over shorter term bills—with the chance that interest rates might be lower on each subsequent roll over—then the term premium could well be negative. That is indeed why the term premium was negative in early 2013—bond buyers actually preferred locking up their money for the long term instead of taking the risk that short-term interest rates might fall for subsequent rollovers. It wasn't necessarily that yields on 10-year Treasuries were so attractive in comparison to short-term yields. It's just that they were preferable given the assumed unpredictability in short-term yields. Predictability is a valuable commodity for pension funds and insurance companies that want to match the timing of their cash outflows and the timing of their cash inflows.
The big reason that bond buyers have started to see 10-year Treasury bonds as fundamentally attractive again—aside from their big recent drop in price and rise in yields—is the absence of any signs of inflation. Look around the globe—can't find it. Can't even find a scenario that might produce it relatively soon. At current economic growth rates, the global economy is awash in capacity whether it's capacity for manufactured goods or production capacity for commodities. With China's economy slowing that global overcapacity doesn't look likely to go away quickly. (The one exception to this pattern of modest inflation is, perhaps, food commodities but even there the potential for a record harvest this year has pushed down near-term prices.)
Real yield on the 10-year Treasury—that is the yield once you subtract current inflation—is 1.56 percentage points, the highest level since March 2011. As recently as November, real yields were negative.
This hasn't been a great first half for Treasuries and other bonds. Treasuries, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch bond index, lost 2.48% in the first half of 2013, the biggest loss since 2009
But Wall Street now believes that bond prices have stabilized within a likely range for the 10-year Treasury of 2.4% to 2.8% for the rest of 2013. High levels of bond market volatility and the uncertainty over when the Fed might begin The Taper argue that bonds yields aren't going back to former lows, however.

Do you want to be a star?
HOUMA -- Auditions are being held today for Hometown Stars, a local spin on the popular TV talent contest "American Idol."
The casting call will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at Southland Mall and is open to amateur singers ages 10 and older.
Auditions, which will be videotaped, will be held in a vacant store located near the customer service booth.
Today is the final casting call, but applicants can submit their own videotapes through June 15.
Judges will pick 48 contestants in four categories:
--Solo performers ages 10-17.
--Solo performers ages 18-25.
--Solo performers ages 26 and over.
--Group acts.
Winners in each category win $250 each. The grand-prize winner will get a recording session and the opportunity to perform at the annual Downtown on the Bayou Festival.
The Southland Mall contest, which is being co-sponsored by Guaranty Broadcasting, The Courier, Daily Comet and the Houma-Terrebonne Arts and Humanities Council, begins July 12 and will run through Aug. 16.
Bayou Cane fire meeting Monday
HOUMA -- The Bayou Cane Volunteer Fire Department will hold its monthly business meeting Monday.
The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the West Park Avenue fire station.
The department also plans to hold two company drills through the end of June.
The topic of the first, set for 6:30 p.m. on June 19, will be hazardous material awareness. The second, which will be held at 7 p.m. on June 25, will focus on behavioral emergencies.
Junior firefighters are asked to attend a June 23 drill, also scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
Coastal author on cable today
HOUMA -- Mike Tidwell, author of the book "Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast," will appear on C-Span Book TV at 5 p.m. today.
The story examines coastal erosion in Louisiana and its impact on the state's culture and economy.
The television program was taped in Washington, D.C., in May.
It begins with a Cajun music performance, followed by a one-hour discussion led by Tidwell about the plight of the Louisiana coast and how it could be saved.
C-Span officials did not know whether the program would be on C-Span or C-Span 2 as of this morning.
The C-Span networks are channels 73 and 74 on Time Warner Cable in Houma, channels 42 and 63 for Charter Communications customers in Terrebonne and Lafourche, and channel 50 for Callais Cable customers in central and southern Lafourche Parish.
Tidwell, a native Southerner and environmental activist, now lives near Washington, D.C. His fascination with south Louisiana began in 1999 after spending a few weeks hitchhiking on fishing boats along Bayou Little Caillou in Chauvin and Bayou Lafourche.
After his trip, Tidwell wrote of his adventures for the Washington Post, which garnered him the Lowell Thomas Award in American travel journalism.
The Courier mistakenly published a brief Friday on the Relay for Life in Thibodaux. The brief had been published earlier and was inadvertently included again Friday. The event has already been held.

We were trying to be conservative, considering the risks involved in buying costumer returns.
So far it has been the biggest mistake we made as a company. After opening all the pallets we realized that we could not fill up one single pallet with items worth selling.
90% of the items we bought went straight to the landfill , for some items the cost of repair was higher than the actual value of the item and others were unrepairable .
We contacted via trading, hoping to find a solution and expecting to get at least a small refund or a percentage of what we spent.
We submitted a list of damaged items and photographs as proof.
The Only solution they offer was to give us a discount on our next purchase. [continued below]....
I wonder what makes them think that they can sell you 4 pallets of merchandise and send you
3 1/2 pallets of garbage , and afterward ask for your business in return with the promise of a discount.
As quoted by another complaint:"They claim that the "Damaged item" are just small scratches and or repairable items. You can make money from.
They also claim over and over e only 5%-15% and as much as 25% damaged. so that would mean that worst case scenario would be 75% of the items would be or could be sold as new. These are their words..
They claim that most of their business come from repeat customers which seems really strange, considering that it was our first time buying and after having such a bad experience the only thing they were willing to do was a discount on a future purchase. Buyer Beware Don't Waste Your Money!!

Asked to speak with supervisor who shared that they had multiple sources for marketing leads and I shared that my single family home has never received this service solicitation but in the past 12 months the 80 year old family friend has received it 3 times. I suggested that they speak to their lead sources to ensure that they are not targeting individual condo owners and that they do not specifically target the elderly as it could be perceived as a scam on elders.
She assured me that was not the intent but I explained that based on the multiple times that my elderly, condo living friend had been solicted while I, a single family home owner, had not received one such solicitation it was an apparent attempt by Homeserve to garner new accounts by deceit and fraud. I hope that is not the case and that these solicitations targeting elderly living in large Condo Associations will be stopped.

"The MTEM program provided me with a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that have made a transformative difference in my work practice. The residentials were rich, stimulating and immersive learning experiences and the elective subjects provided breadth and depth of material to build a solid knowledge of the complexity of the national and global higher education sector. The MTEM program should be compulsory for anyone aspiring to work in tertiary education management and leadership." Stephen Gray, Centre Manager, Climate Change Research Centre, University of New South Wales
"The Master of Tertiary Education Management (MTEM) provided me with the ability to reflect on the role of contemporary education leadership within a international context. Having the ability to investigate and review my own education leadership practice provided me with the catalyst to undertake a new education journey. MTEM provides a flexible, diverse exploration into tertiary education management through facilitated sessions, discussions and exposureto some brilliant minds. The program encourages divergent thought, reflection and applied practice. The flexible delivery model of the program enabled me to continue to work in a senior education role while studying and the residential based sessions connected me with a wonderful network of education managers and leaders who were also on the program." Frances Valintine, Founder, The Mind Lab by Unitec, New Zealand.
The Master of Tertiary Education Management (MTEM) program offered by the University of Melbourne was in line with my career objectives. I always dreamt of attaining an academic program with a research component that can broaden my knowledge, increase my analytical and academic skills and support in my career growth, and the MTEM helped me achieve all. It has added valuable knowledge and helped me understand various perspectives of tertiary education, its contemporary issues and challenges. It motivated me to look for solutions that could best fit in my local context. These all together have groomed my personality as a proficient academician and tertiary education analyst."

We have never walked into such filth in our lives and this home is a serious health risk. carpets were filthy, mold growing in the frig even after two cleanings and we had to purchase a 1/2 size frig. Ants ran all over the counters. Left our new mattress in the plastic for 3 days until we could pay to have the carpets cleaned ourselves. the whole place reeked off cat manure and the weeds in the yard were as tall as my head. i have MANY pictures of this place to share with anyone that wants to see them!!

Quillin Still Eyes Martinez-Cotto, Golovkin-Chavez Winners
By Ryan Maquiñana
Peter Quillin made the third defense of his middleweight world title belt in dominant fashion Saturday night in a near-shutout of Lucas Konecny, but the unbeaten Cuban-American is cognizant that the bigger fights are over the horizon.
After the win, Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs) told Showtime's Jim Gray that he continues to eye the fellow marquee names in the 160-pound division. When the 30-year-old was asked if he was on the level with fellow titleholders Gennady Golovkin and Sergio Martinez.
"Yes," Quillin said. "With Al Haymon in my corner of course I do. Any one of those guys, I'm ready. I'm fit. I sparred Golovkin many rounds and he's a good champion, but like I said, I definitely didn't come up here for easy fights. That's the only career-defining fight that's out there.
"Sergio Martinez, the winner of (Miguel) Cotto, I would like you. The winner out of (Julio Cesar) Chavez (Jr.) versus Golovkin, I would like to take that fight. Like I said, we're just trying to get better."
However, with the "Cold War" in place, Quillin might have to settle for Daniel Jacobs (27-1, 24 KOs) first.
"If Danny Jacobs is on the menu, let's do it," Quillin said. "As long as Al Haymon can give me the money I deserve, let's do it."
In the meantime, Quillin is looking forward to his first child with his wife, Allison, who is pregnant. The couple endured a tragedy when she miscarried five months into her first pregnancy when Quillin was training for his last title defense.
"Well I have to say, being a father is something I always look forward to," Quillin said. "My wife is definitely a special woman. I believe in her. She believes in me. She brings structure to my life and I only expect us to have the beautifulest baby God can give us."

A lot of my friends have started doing Crossfit lately. I think it is something I want to try but honestly it intimidates me, I am not quite sure I could even get close to doing what is required. As a result of doing Crossfit, many of them have also adopted Paleo diets and have been asking me for recipes they can use, especially for sweets. After doing some research, I found this simple and delicious recipe from the Wannabe Chef for these healthy and simple mug cakes. Luckily I had all of the ingredients on hand so I whipped up a quick mug cake and it was delicious. I actually can't wait to have one again. Note: Picture is also courtesy of The Wannabe Chef, I couldn't get mine as pretty .

At FOSS Asia, I was accompanied by Michael Downey, community director at OpenMRS and Mayank Sharma, the release manager for platform 2.x at OpenMRS. Mayank has an interesting story because it was at FOSS Asia 2015 that he first got to know about OpenMRS and has been a rockstar contributor since. So we were hoping to find a few more like him at FOSS Asia 2016. At the conference, I spoke about the strength of the OpenMRS's bazaar model of software development, the loosely governed community that has scaled over the last decade or so. I have personally been involved in the community since the last 9yrs and I shared some of my experiences. A summary of my talk is part of Episode 4 of OpenMRS Update podcast. You can also view the slides for my talk here.
We also started email conversations on partnering for our programs with Singapore's Nanyang Technical University (NTU), who are just starting to build a few health informatics research projects. We also met with General Assembly, a global training organization, but need to take the discussion forward with their Chicago office. So hopefully, this is the beginning of taking our program forward and finding partners around the world who can build capacity for health informatics using OpenMRS.

Shannon, President of M. Shannon Etiquette Consulting, said, "I believe along with school supplies, new clothes, and new shoes parents should also send their children to school with proper manners. There are many children that are very nice but still lack proper manners and do not know what is expected of them now that they are growing up."
10 tips to help teach and reinforce good manners for children going back to school:
1. Wake up early.
2. Make sure your hair is combed and your uniform is clean and neat.
3. Pack your backpack with school supplies.
4. Get to school or the bus stop early every day.
5. Greet everyone with a "good morning" or "hello" and a smile. If you see someone struggling to make friends or being made fun of you should be their friend. Make it a point to smile or say "hello" to them.
6. Sit up straight and sit quietly until the teacher is ready to get started and keep a positive attitude.
7. Call the teacher by the name or title they prefer. Calling the teacher "Teacher" is not appropriate.
8. Follow classroom guidelines for getting up walking around and using the restroom.
9. Keep all gadgets at home (put away all cellphones, IPods, tablets, and definitely no texting or tweeting at school).
10. Keep your hands to yourself and do not touch anyone else or their belongings.
Michelle Shannon provides a variety of classes and workshops in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas to teach children proper manners. She offers classes for girls and boys as well as classes, a weekly book club, and programs for girls only. Shannon believes that etiquette and life skills are missing from the classrooms but are both very important to a child's formative years, a time when they are learning everything.
M Shannon Etiquette Consulting was founded in 2005 to provide etiquette training to youth, adults, companies and service staff. Each program is a combination of lecture, activities and role-playing exercises designed to ensure that learning about etiquette is both educational and entertaining. Michelle Shannon has written and published 2 books relating to etiquette for youth and has worked with organizations, private groups, educational institutions and individuals to increase their social savvy and confidence levels.

Ajith's Veeram Team To Reunite Again!
On the occasion of the completion of 50 days of Veeram, there seems to be a good news for all those Ajith Kumar fans out there. Well, the same team is likely to come together again for yet another action-packed family entertainer.
Ajith Kumar, following the success of Veeram, had expressed his wish to work with Siruthai Siva again. The director was happy to hear such words from Thala and instantly decided to reunite again. Siva seems to have a word with writers Bharathan and Boopathy Raja on the same and they were excited about the idea.
Siruthai Siva wants to repeat the same team and he is also keen on casting his favourite Tamanna Bhatia in the female lead role. The director believes that it is an honour to work with Ajith Kumar again and he will leave no stone unturned to make the project possible. The scripting works are in the early stage and it will not be materialised soon.
At least, it takes one more year for them to put the things in place and it is only possible in 2015. On the latest development, an industry insider says that Ajith Kumar often preferred directors, who has good rapport with him. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

GAT is an acronym originated by Ingrid Hamilton during her stint as a social scene writer at the Toronto Sun. References to the city's influential nightlife personalities as gal-about-town or guy-about-town became "GAT" – columnist's shorthand for, very important player. After a decade at the Sun, Ingrid opened a PR agency, and GAT was born. The journey began in a small office in 1992 and quickly outgrew its space and expanded. The company was put on hiatus in 1997 when Ingrid worked her skills on national publicity for CTV. In 1999, GAT re-opened its doors and has been going strong ever since.

Mendez Ready To Send Notice To Other 130 Lb. Champs
By Jake Donovan
Argenis Mendez is fully focused on his next title defense, which comes Friday against mandatory challenger Rances Barthelemy at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The bout serves as the 2014 season premiere of ESPN2 Friday Night Fights.
Even with all of his mental energy locked in on this weekend's challenge, it's impossible to not think ahead given all of the talent and activity in the 130 lb. division. New Year's Eve in Japan saw Takashi Uchiyama and Takashi Miura defend their belts in separate bouts in Tokyo, paving the way for a potential rematch and unification bout at some point in 2014.
Stateside, unbeaten Miguel Angel 'Mikey' Garcia defends his belt against Juan Carlos Burgos on January 25 in New York City.
Mendez is cognizant of the challenge immediately in front of him, viewing this weekend's bout as a must-win in order to pave the way for what he insists will be the biggest year of his career.
"I want to congratulate (Uchiyama and Miura) on their wins today," Mendez said earlier Tuesday afternoon after learning of his divisional rivals' accomplishments. "I'd love to fight both of them at some point and add their belts to my collection. If they fight each other, then I will put myself in position to get the winner.
"Mikey Garcia is also on the radar as well. I've been thinking about nothing other than taking care of business (on Friday) with Barthelemy. Once that fight is over and I defend my title, all of the other champions are on alert for 2014."
Mendez makes the second defense of the belt he acquired in emphatic fashion, doubly serving as tasty revenge. His championship win came last March, knocking out Juan Carlos Salgado in a rematch to their closely contested affair in Mexico in Sept. '11.
The feat ended Salgado's second title reign at 130. His first reign was one-and-done, scoring a shocking knockout over then-unbeaten Jorge Linares but suffering a 12th round stoppage against Uchiyama in Jan. '10.
The lone defense for Mendez thus far came in the Friday Night Fights season finale last August, as the Dominican star was held to a highly controversial 12-round draw versus Arash Usmanee. The bout headlined a card marking the promotional debut of former heavyweight king Mike Tyson, who joined forces with Mendez' promoters - formerly known as Acquinity Sports - to form Iron Mike Productions.
Usmanee found himself in another questionable call earlier in 2013, landing on the wrong end of a disputed decision in his 12-round title eliminator versus Barthelemy in last year's Friday Night Fights season opener.
Barthelemy proved his worth later in the year, scoring a 2nd round knockout over Thailand's Fahsai Sakkreerin this past June in Minneapolis. He returns to Twin Cities this weekend in hopes of remaining unbeaten and returning to his adopted home of Miami as a new champion.
Mendez obviously has other plans in mind.
"He had a lot to say when I fought (Usmanee)," Mendez recalls of the banter between camps last summer. "We agreed to fight Arash because everyone knows he beat (Barthelemy), so I did the right thing. Once I'm done with this guy on Friday, he'll know what it's like to lose for real.
"I'm ready to give the best performance of my career, snatching this guy's unbeaten record and sending word to all of the other champs that they gotta go through me to try to prove they the best."

[QUOTE=illpapi;14091089]By KO? Who are you kidding? The only chance Barthelemy has is winning by decision and that's only because sometimes Mendez's work rate tends to be a little low. But Barthelemy for the most part likes to counterpunch and dance…Comment by Miles_ on 01-01-2014

Driving I-Shift is a real pleasure. Without the clutch pedal, you can safely sit back and concentrate on the other two. I-Shift uses its built-in intelligence to quickly and automatically choose the right gear at all times. And the software provides shifting skills that are impossible for even the best of drivers to match. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the shift selector allows you to step in and shift gear manually.
I-Shift is designed to save fuel. First of all, the internal energy losses are low – actually lower than on manual gearboxes. But it's the electronics that really make the difference. When driving in Economy mode, every gearchange is timed precisely, to let the engine work at its most efficient rpm range.
And then there's I-Roll. It's a unique feature used when driving downhill, automatically disengaging the engine to make use of the truck's momentum instead of fuel. The result? Up to 2% lower fuel consumption.
I-See literally takes the intelligence of I-Shift one step further. It's a groundbreaking software feature that takes advantage of the integrated GPS to memorise the topography of the road, and upload this information to a central database free for all trucks to use.
This way, I-Shift can not only choose the best gear at the time, but also prepare for the upcoming topography. It's like having an experienced co-pilot, who knows every bit of the road by rote. I-See saves up to an additional 5% fuel (when I-Cruise is engaged the whole time).
Learn more about I-See.
It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions, hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and low internal losses.) But of course there's much more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the intelligent electronic control unit. It's responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that handles the clutch and shifts. By constantly receiving information about vehicle speed, acceleration, weight, road grade, torque demand and more, it can carry out every shift with extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting.

I have started playing around with the plugin and although it took me a little bit to get the look and feel I like, I really like my possibilities.
My only stumbling block is when I play with my Option Sets. Because of what I am selling, there are a lot variables. I'm not sure how to make the Option Sets tidy looking, rather than the text being on one line and the "selection box" on the next. Is there a way to work around this if there is no way to fix it?
Here's a link if you want to see where I'm struggling. Ideally, I would like to place a different option per line in a very specific order.
