I have a nationstar mtg that centex originated and have ALL documents and receipts and am fixing to file a lawsuit on them and no way ill loose I got their butts fraud respa violations predatory lending unlawful modifications failing to honor a said govt modification I was approved for and given a 10,000 plus addition on my 35,000 note

Whatever happened to tacking late payments onto the end of the note so the borrower can get caught up and start new? Instead of these fake loan modification applications that are set up to prolong payments and eventually steal your homes??
by Roseanne Jordan Largent From Azle, TX on March 08, 2013
First of all, I just noticed the disclosure at the bottom of this page, "IMPORTANT NOTICE", trust me when I say your loan will NOT be approved! You will be given the run around and transferred from agent to agent to agent all day, every day and documents added and added to what is required to your loan modification application. In the meantime, they tell you "NOT to pay your monthly payment because it looks as though you will qualify and we don't want you spending more than you have to and you may need that money to assist in the arrears after the modification is completed".. 3-4 months go by and next thing you know, you are in default and they find something wrong or prolong the loan application so long that it gets denied. Again, by this time, you are in default and then foreclosure is started i you don't have your back payments turned in immediately with late fees and other legal charges that start accruing! I lost my home to them last year.(may,2012) and it was sold for *cash only* in September. Centex, was the originators of the loan in 2002, and I owned my home outright before that. We was asking for a consolidation loan for personal reasons and was going to use my home for collateral. Instead of a collateral loan, they said they were making it a first time buyer Mortgage loan with an AMR. They said it was only for 2 years and then we could refinance it under a fixed rate. The reason for this was because we had purchased the property from a family member as part of a family estate and didn't ever have a home loan prior to that. Even though we had records and statements from the family member we bought it off of stating we were prompt with our payments and paid off our loan. I am wondering if this is even legal. However, 2 years later, Nationstar took over the loan. We had AAA credit and never late. In 2004, My husband passed away. I called Nationstar to report that my husband had passed so that I could the proper paperwork signed over into my name only, and they told me I was going to be penalized for being a widow!The 2 years were up for the AMR and I wanted to refinance under my name with a fixed rate and they told me Id have to wait to prove myself for another year. Penalties and interest started going up and I was always on time. So I called to asked what hat was all about and no one could explain the reason to me. At that time, I had a bank account and the payments were being taken out automatically. Even though I was on time, someone from the company called me every month wanting to know when I was going to make my next payment. In May, 2005, I proceeded again to redo my loan to a fixed rate, for a month, this man called me every day requesting this and that from me to get this loan through. He wanted a written statement from my step daughter, which made her think she was entitled to part of m property, so she wouldn't sign. Therefore, I had to take it to probate, which takes 90 days. During this time, this loan officer called me repeatedly every day even when I was at work, on weekends, and demanded we get this transaction finished. On May 28th,2005, I called to inform him that I would have to have my husbands will probated in order to proceed with the loan and that it would take 90 days and the man, named *John*, got hostile with me and said to me,"LOOK LADY! I've been dealing with you all month and if I don't get this loan in by the end of the month, I won't get a paycheck!" I was flabbergasted! The harassment didn't stop there! I was told because I was a woman, it would be hard for me to get the fixed loan and would have to show more proof. The harassment cost me my job. I was under so much stress from trying to work and obtain all the documents and answering unnecessary phone calls, that I fell asleep at work and lost my job. I worked 16 hour shifts on weekends and he called me while I was at work,knowing I worked trauma er and had no way of obtaining anything during that time! I was the only xray tech running an entire hospital and his phone calls during that time was a distraction to patient care. I told him that I could not talk to him during this time and he threatened not to pursue with the loan if I wasn't able to comply by traveling 40 miles out of town to have my step daughter sign a paper. He even went as far as ask me if he could go down and obtain her signature so that we wouldn't have to go through probate. That is a 70+ mile journey for him one way but if he thought he could do it, then by all means, go for it. It just got worse and worse. Needless to say, I lost my home last year to these predators after owning it for almost 30 years. I had mineral rights but not sure what is happening to them yet. They sold my house in September, 2012, for *cash only* after so-called vandals broke in and stole the doors and the 3 ton train ac unit and I'm not sure what all. Then tried to say I did it!! My guess is, they probably had someone vandalize the house for insurance purposes to upgrade so that they wouldn't have to spend a penny or sell it for cash because it isn't able to be loan approved now. I am not sure and that is my opinion but all I know is' STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!" if anyone has a lawsuit I want in. I am living with friends now because I have lost everything due to these predators and can't afford an attorney. However, if there is any way of getting into a lawsuit against them or a lawyer that works for getting paid after a suit is settled, I have documents to verify many things as well as a appraisal report that that states that my house was a appraised at 155,000 so that they could get me a higher loan. When reality and the taxes state it was worth only 112,000.(I believe). Isn't that in itself a lender practice? There's more!!! Adding the land taxes ands the insurance to my account,without notice, after I had already paid them! Without Notice! I had ALWAYS paid my own taxes and my own insurance. This is how I got into trouble with them and lost my home. I paid mV insurance then Nationstar decided to step in and pay it and then when I made my house payment, it went to pay for escrow to cover my insurance! This got me behind the first month. There is so much more! MY BEST ADVICE IS TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!! THEY ARE THE DEVIL!!! I am going to find me a lawyer and I will fight for my rights back!!! One way or another! That was family owned property and I want it back or the money you stole from me through loss of job, license, medical license, and mental anguish due to the harassment and illegal transactions you choose to use to destroy all that is in your path!!!!! STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!!! PLEASE!!! THEY ARE NOT FOR THE BORROWER! THEY ARE THIEVES OUT FOR YOUR HOMES AND INTEGRITY AND CREDIT RATINGS! Hence, THEY ARE OUT FOR THEMSELVES ONLY!!! again, if here is a class-action lawsuit in in Dallas Texas,. please includes me in it or if you are a lawyer or know one that will help the poor victim, please contact me

I worked for the company for 11 years and as soon as i got into trouble they never tried to help at all. I know they have helped others cause I seen it for myself...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Disengagement is the only option. Stop paying your mortgages! Conservation of your actual wealth (our homes) is paramount. Calling any bank is a distraction of your time designed to discourage us Don't seek relief from the thief. Don't allow automatic withdrawal from your account! Ignore the bastards lies. Save your money in a reserve escrow account you create with your "bank" Demand that they show you the signed Assignment of Deed of Trust doc. This document is essential for two reasons 1.No transferred loan contract is legally binding without it.2.No agency,bank or institutions are entitled to receive monies for the alleged dept. Without proof of legal interest. You're paying money to people (Corps really)to whom you don't own anything!! Look it up. Don't take my word for it. Conserve your money for more important things like food,clothing,medicine. Things are going to get better by themselves folks. The Calvary ain't coming' I heard they were camped by a little bend in the river... .It's us or nobody.

terrible company predators of the worst kind with out remorse or regard to the families they have stolen from please if there is a law suit let me know asap.

We got our mortgage through Centex, they were bad enough and all of a sudden we have Nation Star and they can only tell me about limited payment history. They are the worst. I have heard people getting there homes foreclosed because of their practices. They need to hire people who know what they are doing. I talked to five different people before talking to the manager.
by Anonymous From Indian Head, MD on January 03, 2011
NS did a loan modification but left an outstanding late fee. I thought if you do a loan modification that they include the entire loan amount. Why do I have late fees remaining?

Do what I did. Get yourself a computer and research your loan, I found so many violations that I stopped the lawyers from filing the foreclosure. They transferred it to the companies VP I think, but that won't stop me from fighting them, as they are trying to use MERS as the Note holder so they can foreclose, but they have no interest in the loan as any holder. Don't let them get away with it. Fight it your self, you'll have better chances of getting it thrown out of court.
by H.Carvajal From Miami, FL on July 21, 2010
All of above reflects on me. These people tell you to just keep sending in the payment while the loan modification is in process then you get a foreclosure notice, I will have to hire an attorney its been going on for too long. If anyone organizes a lawsuit against this company please let me know, I would like to see them go down for misleading their customers.

My husband and I applied for the HAMP program in June 2009. At this time, we were not in default. We submitted all paperwork and received a contract from Nationstar stating what our trial period payments were going to be. We started the trial period payments in July 2009. These were due to end September 1, 2009. We were told from Nationstar that we would have our new mortgage documents within 30 days from the last payment, which would put us at October 2009. We called multiple times and were told they were behind due to having so many loan modifications coming in. Nationstar told us to "just keep making your payments. Everything is fine with your account." In December 2009, we received a foreclosure noticed from Feiwell and Hannoy, Nationstar's attorneys, and from the Porter County Superior Court. I called Nationstar and they had no record of us being in foreclosure. After hours of conversations and multiple phone calls, they finally found where we were placed into foreclosure and told that they had "put a code into the computer to suspend all foreclosure action until a decision was made on our account". In December, another court document was delivered stating that Nationstar reported that we had not paid since March 2009, when in fact, I have all money order receipts showing that I have been paying $929.19 a month since July 2009, per the signed contract from Nationstar. I called Nationstar and was told that everything was fine and that my modification was in underwriting and the paperwork would be mailed out by the end of the month. In January, we still had not heard anything back from Nationstar. When we received our tax statements, the numbers were all incorrect. I called asking why it showed that we had paid so little and the lady informed me that they "had messed up and placed the money we paid into a miscellaneous account instead of a suspense account" but that it would be corrected as of January's payment forward. This never happened. I had called several times after to check on the status of our loan modification and each time I was told it would be done shortly. On March 11, 2010, I received a certified letter from the Porter County Sheriff's Office stating that our home was up for auction on April 21, 2010, and this document was dated February 23, 2010. I called Nationstar and the man stated that our loan modification was denied on March 6, 2010 because they did not have recent pay stubs because the pay stubs they had were from June 2009 when we started the modification process. Never once did anybody call or send a letter stating that they needed any further paperwork. When I asked the man why the foreclosure continued although we were in the loan modification process, he stated, "I'm not going to argue with you." Nationstar sent our account to their attorneys in June 2009, the same month that we started the loan modification process. The documents were filed with the Sheriff's Office on February 23, 2010, two weeks before the decision on our account was even made. As of today, I still have not received any notifications from Nationstar stating that we were even denied. Had I not called the day we got the Sheriff's Sale Notice, would never have known that we were even denied, especially for a lack of two papers that we were never informed of needing to resubmit. They have taken almost $10,000 from us (the monies we have paid since July 2009 that they did not apply to our home) along with several thousand in late fees and escrow advance fees because Nationstar is saying that they had no money from us to pay our homeowner's insurance, PMI, or property taxes. I have the loan modification documents, along with all court documents, and money order stubs showing that we have paid several thousand dollars to Nationstar. I have proof to back up everything in this complaint.
by Anonymous From Oscoda, MI on March 16, 2010
If someone is interested in filing a lawsuit against Nation Star, I am willing to sign on. I have been trying to get my mortgage payment reduced since October 2009 when it was sold to Nation Star from Flagstar which I never had problems with. Also, the last time that I called Nation Star - I asked to talk to a supervisor and was told that I couldn't do that. This is the only company that I know of that you can not talk to a supervisor!

Centex Home Equity was a great company to work for, but as soon as they were bought out by Nationstar, they went down the crapper!
by Livingston From Plano, TX on July 10, 2009
We opened a mortgage in 1999 with Centex, refinanced a couple years later. Have not had them as a mortgage yet on my credit report it shows that this is an open account and our debt to income ratio is sky high with our current mortgage added. This is fraud and according to Northstar they have no record of us. It looks as though we will end up suing as this has caused us problems. This has been added to my credit report within the last year as it did not show up on my credit report in June of 2008! They were horrible to have as a mortgage company that's why we refinance!
by j. peters From Shelbyville, TN on June 18, 2009
we bought our home 4 years ago and now we have found out through our insurance company that there is significant foundation seepage due to prior flooding that was not disclosed on our contract. When we contacted Centex, they claimed our home was listed in their database. hmmm???? anyway, the rep we dealt with was helpful? researching the house, but we're probably going to have to deal with lawyers.
by Paul Parker From Bellingham, MA on June 11, 2009
I am fighting Nationstar Mortgage over a loan modification that they offered me. They had me sign an agreement (which I did agree to) stating that if I paid three "trial period payments" by specific dates, that my loan documents will automatically be modified to the lower payment/lower interest rate. My "new mortgage" payment was then due on June 1st. I paid the three trial period payments (March, April & May) as well as the June 1st payment (not easy seeing that the May 16th payment was just paid). I left myself with $100 in the bank, but thought it was worth it. On June 1st, I called asking when my new monthly statement would arrive, showing the new interest rate and new monthly payment amount. They said "the program that you were in was cancelled, you are not in a modification program, but... we have another program you can sign up for, which will require three trial period payments"!!!!! I can't believe these people. The next day, I received a foreclosure paper, giving me 35 days to pay the 4 months that I was behind (job loss) or they will begin the foreclosure process. email@example.com
by deb From Saint Paul, MN on May 26, 2009
well i agree we never were late or missed a payment I refinanced to get out of adjustable rate to a fixed rate at that time we add a escrow account and now we don't for some reason we got behind on our taxes and they took it upon themselves to pay it when i had already made arrangements with the county we were only 1 yr behind it takes 4-5 yrs before they will do anything nationstar refused to help because we were not behind on our payments now they want to do a modification for 2 yrs and right back where we started from centex we had no problems nationstar also states they are not in Obama's plan. they suck they were not willing to help us in anyway now we are in foreclosure.

by Susan From Flint, MI on February 02, 2009
I agree with all of the listed commplaints. I was recently bought by Nationstar 12/1/08 and it has been a mess every since. They are trying to charge me for money that wasn't received my the selling company and now they are trying to get me to pay money that I had to pay to the prior company. This money is said to have already been sent to Nationstar and even cashed to their account. However, that money hasn't been receipted in to my account, but showing that I am behind and that I will be paying late fees and having 30-60- or even a 90 showing on my account. I have NEVER been late on my mortgage and I get bought by these folks and poof...I have late payment showing, discredits to my account and credit, and one great big HEADACHE. I didn't ask to be sold, but I was. I asked to be refinaced and they won't. This company doesn't do anything that it seems to promise. I am not sure things will be looking up for me with the help of this company.

We owed one year of insurance and now are being forced into an escrow account that more than doubles our payment. We are in danger of losing our home. I have talked to them 6 times in one month and got the usual run around.
by Pat From Millstone, NJ on August 16, 2008
Nationstar took over our mortgage as of 8/1/08. They sent us the incorrect loan statment and account # several days after the first. Then they sent a letter stating they were sorry for any inconvenience that they would be sending out a new account # and welcome letter. We received it on the 16th of Aug and it stated that the payment was due on the 17th or a late fee would be charged.

They have no clue what they are talking about! They are very helpless. Any time you call with a question they say they need to do an investigation and they never call you back. You need to keep bugging them but will never get an answer. They will never help you. I would do anything to drop them, but since I've lost so much value on my home I cant finance with any other bank.
by dave From Elk Grove, CA on May 04, 2008
they hold your payment so they can get a late charge,customer service reps sound like there from the ghetto, and as far as mortgage knowledge they are illiterate, they charge you outrageous interest rates, hire derelicts to handle phone calls,if you are looking for loan bypass these people they are a headache to deal with i am currently in foreclosure and finally 8 months later they are considering a loan modification for only 12 months which is not going to fix the problem. i have had several home loans and these are the worst people i have dealt with. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MORTGAGE COMPANY you will get a better deal from the loan shark.
by john From Erie, PA on November 13, 2007
definitely loan sharks and the white collared mafia!
by Anonymous From Detroit, MI on October 01, 2007
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. The employees are non-professional and the tactics they use to swindle people out of their money are terrible. The will call you 4-5 times, sometimes even more, throughout the day everyday, and for what? They don't even know. I am willing to pay more that I am paying now, and let me tell you I am paying out of the nose, to get out of this mess. When Centex had the company, I did not have any problems. This company stinks.
by theron mitchell From Watonga, OK on September 28, 2007
they hold check until late to get late charge... very misleading.

Centex Home Equity are predatory lenders, they will lie, cheat and my advice is to stay completely away from them or you will be in serious trouble with your mortgage.
by james greely jr From Argonne, WI on August 26, 2007
The loan was a mess from the day we got it and Centex Home Equity made no effort to correct anything we told them about our concerns

Judge Robert Bork, best known for his contentious Supreme Court nomination battle, died Tuesday in Arlington, Va.
Bork was a former solicitor general, federal judge, and conservative legal theorist.
President Ronald Reagan nominated Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987. After a long confirmation battle led by left-leaning groups who opposed Bork's conservative judicial philosophy, his nomination was rejected by the Senate.
That sparked a political battle over judicial nominations.
Earlier this year, Bork served as the senior judicial adviser to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign
Judge Bork died from complications of heart disease. He was 85.

text: New York, N.Y. -- IBM took another step into the New Blue era Wednesday, announcing that vice chairman Jack D. Kuehler is retiring. Kuehler, 60, was a key associate of former chairman John F. Akers, who was forced to resign earlier this year as shareholder frustration mounted over IBM's worsening performance. Newly appointed IBM chairman Louis V. Gerstner does not intend to name a successor to Kuehler, spokesman Jon C. Iwata said, adding that Gerstner "does not plan to make any significant organizational announcements in the short term." "He wants to take time to understand IBM, its people and its structure," Iwata said. But Wall Street was speculating Wednesday about a possible contender for IBM's chief financial officer. After Eastman Kodak Co. CFO Christopher J. Steffen announced his resignation Wednesday, investors bid IBM shares up $1.12 1/2 a share to $49.50 on the New York Stock Exchange amid rumors that he was headed for IBM. IBM spokesman Roger Bolton told the Associated Press the company had no comment on the rumors. Word of Kuehler's retirement came two days after shareholders at IBM's annual meeting vented anger at top executives for reacting too slowly to changes in the computer industry the 1980s. (Select 1003 for more.) It was widely anticipated that Kuehler would leave, especially after the appointment a month ago of Gerstner as Akers' replacement. Gerstner, who had been RJR Nabisco chairman, was the first outsider to head the company. "I think that Kuehler had pretty well signaled when he stepped down as president that his days were numbered, so this was not a surprise," Mark Stahlman, president of New Media Associates in New York, told AP. Kuehler stepped down as president when Akers announced he was planning to leave the company. "His fingerprints are on a lot of the questionable decisions over the last five years," Stahlman said. Among them, Stahlman said, was the breakup of IBM's workstation operations into smaller divisions and placing too much emphasis on the business return of research and development. "He had a hand in a lot of the decisions that are in the process of being reversed. This was an entirely reasonable part of the company's overall restructuring," Stahlman told AP. But some analysts praised Kuehler for his knack for innovation and strategy. "He's been the technology conscience of the IBM company," Sam Albert, a management consultant in Scarsdale, N.Y., told AP. "He often announced products to the IBM sales force and demonstrated his marketing savvy," said Albert, adding that Kuehler forged recent technical alliances with computer makers such as Apple, Motorola, Siemens and Toshiba. Gerstner said in a statement, "Jack agreed last year to stay beyond his planned retirement date, and I'm pleased that he will stay through August to continue his work on key alliances and to advise me on technology issues." In the statement, IBM credited Kuehler with: * Launching the team responsible for bringing to market the "highly successful" RS/6000 workstation and server family; * Heading the General Technology Division that developed and produced IBM's advanced memory, logic, and circuit packaging technologies; * Running IBM's Systems Products Division when it introduced the IBM 4300 in 1979; and * Leading development of multiprocessors and terminals as director of the company's Raleigh, N.C., communications laboratory from 1967 to 1970. Kuehler joined IBM in 1958 as an engineer. At the annual meeting earlier this week, Gerstner did not offer a detailed plan for overhauling IBM or explain how he'll revive a stock that's languishing at one-fourth its pre-1987 market crash peak of $175 a share.

Orphan designation
On 21 March 2012, orphan designation (EU/3/12/973) was granted by the European Commission to NDA Regulatory Science Ltd, United Kingdom, for recombinant human beta-glucuronidase for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (Sly syndrome).
The sponsorship was transferred to NDA Group AB, Sweden, in December 2013 and subsequently to Ultragenyx UK Limited, United Kingdom, in May 2015.
For a list of the administrative updates to this public summary of opinion please refer to the PDF document below.
- What is mucopolysaccharidosis type VII?
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (also known as Sly syndrome) is an inherited disease caused by a lack of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase. This enzyme is needed to break down substances in the body called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). If the enzyme is not present, GAGs cannot be broken down and they build up in the cells and damage them. This causes a wide range of problems such as short stature, skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness, enlarged spleen and liver, lung infections, heart problems and hernias. Patients usually die within the first year of life, although some survive into their teenage years.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII is a life-threatening disease with many patients dying in early childhood. It also debilitating due to the physical and skeletal abnormalities that occur.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, mucopolysaccharidosis type VII affected approximately 0.001 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). This was equivalent to a total of around 50 people*, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This is based on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 27), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. At the time of designation, this represented a population of 512,200,000 (Eurostat 2013).
- What treatments are available?
At the time of designation, no satisfactory methods were authorised in the EU for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Bone marrow transplantation was sometimes used to treat the condition.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
Recombinant human beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme replacement therapy that is expected to work by replacing the missing beta-glucuronidase enzyme in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. The medicine is produced by a method known as 'recombinant DNA technology', which involves inserting a gene into a cell, enabling the cell to make the enzyme.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, the evaluation of the effects of recombinant human beta-glucuronidase in experimental models was ongoing.
At the time of submission, no clinical trials with recombinant human beta-glucuronidase in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII had been started.
At the time of submission, recombinant human beta-glucuronidase was not authorised anywhere in the EU for mucopolysaccharidosis type VII or designated as an orphan medicinal product elsewhere for this condition.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 11 January 2012 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

WAILUKU - Maui County Council members officially organized behind Gladys Baisa and Bob Carroll, unanimously electing them chairwoman and vice chairman, respectively, of the newly seated council on Wednesday.
Carroll, in making the motion to confirm Baisa's leadership position, described her as a dedicated, competent, experienced and fair leader. He cited her guidance as chairwoman of the General Plan Committee in completing the Maui Island Plan.
Council Member Mike Victorino added that Baisa has a "working-together attitude" that will bring a new dimension to the council.

Outgoing Chairman Danny Mateo's tenure on the council ended Wednesday due to term limits.
"I'm not only honored, but I'm terrified," Baisa said. "I'm very well aware of the daunting task ahead."
She outlined several goals she has for the council: "Keeping our economy moving ahead, meeting our county's varied needs, watching our budget, protecting our envied county financial status and preserving the things that make Maui County beautiful and special."
"This is no small or easy task, members, but I know that all of us together can do it," Baisa said. "In the famous words of my favorite American hero . . . let us adopt and believe and live: 'Si se puede,' or 'Yes, we can,' the motto of the great Cesar Chavez."
Baisa and Carroll's leadership roles took effect Wednesday and expire Jan. 2, 2015.
The council also voted to establish eight standing committees, adding a new Committee on Housing, Human Services and Transportation, while eliminating the General Plan Committee.
Members approved the following chairs and vice chairs for the committees:
* Budget and Finance Committee - Mike White, chairman; Riki Hokama, vice chairman.
* Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation - Don Guzman, chairman; Bob Carroll, vice chairman.
* Housing, Human Services and Transportation - Stacy Crivello, chairwoman; Elle Cochran, vice chairwoman.
* Infrastructure and Environmental Management - Elle Cochran, chairwoman; Stacy Crivello, vice chairwoman.
* Land Use - Bob Carroll, chairman; Don Guzman, vice chairman.
* Planning - Don Couch, chairman; Mike Victorino, vice chairman.
* Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs - Riki Hokama, chairman; Don Couch, vice chairman.
* Water Resources - Mike Victorino, chairman; Mike White, vice chairman.
In other action, the council voted to approve the following appointments for terms that end Jan. 2, 2015:
* Jeffrey T. Kuwada as county clerk;
* Lance T. Taguchi as deputy county clerk;
* David M. Raatz Jr. as director of Council Services.
The council also voted to appoint Victorino as the Maui County Council representative on the Hawaii State Association of Counties executive committee and to recommend his nomination to the National Association of Counties' board of directors.
Former Council Member Joe Pontanilla, whose term on the council also ended Wednesday due to term limits, previously served in the positions.

Southwest Airlines to launch flights to Costa Rica
Southwest Airlines plans to launch its first flights to Central America.
The Dallas-based carrier said Friday it has applied for permission to fly to San Jose, Costa Rica, from Baltimore. The flights would begin March 7.
Southwest launched its first international flights on July 1 and will be flying to seven non-U.S. cities by the end of the year as it absorbs merger partner AirTran Airway's destinations.
In addition to its first foray outside Mexico and the Caribbean, the Costa Rica flights mark Southwest's first international destination that hadn't been served by AirTran.
"We're ready to add the adventure and beauty of Costa Rica to a growing horizon of international possibility available to the more than 100 million Customers who fly with us each year," Southwest chairman and CEO Gary Kelly said in Southwest's announcement.
"Our people and policies bring unique value to the travel experience and we have big plans to extend that value to international destinations where our customers want to go. Our substantial presence in Baltimore/Washington is a natural place to do that by bringing nonstop access to new, international markets," Kelly said.
Southwest entered the Baltimore market in 1993 and is now its biggest airline there, as the airline noted in its application filed Friday with the U.S. Department of Transportation:
"Southwest is the largest U.S. airline in terms of domestic passengers carried and provides more service at BWI than any other carrier by a wide margin with 204 daily flights to 60 cities. Southwest's proposed new international service will provide the only scheduled nonstop flights to Costa Rica from BWI.
"In addition, the proposed service will offer convenient one-stop connecting opportunities for passengers in small and medium sized cities without nonstop service to Costa Rica such as Albany, Buffalo, Hartford, Islip, Manchester, Providence and Rochester."
Southwest customers in Dallas can get to Costa Rica by flying nonstop to Baltimore and then catch the Baltimore-San Jose flight. But really, why would they?
In 2013, Southwest and AirTran together carried 70.8 percent of Baltimore's passengers — 58.6 percent on Southwest and 12.2 percent on AirTran (13.2 million and 2.7 million of the airport's 22.5 million passengers).
Next biggest was Delta Air Lines with 9.4 percent of the airport's passengers: 8.2 percent on mainline Delta flights and 1.2 percent on regional partners.
With Southwest phasing out AirTran, the percentage is quickly shifting to Southwest. In June, the last month for which figures are available, Southwest carried 67.2 percent of Baltimore's traffic to only 3.9 percent for AirTran. Their combined total had climbed to 71.2 percent of the airport's traffic.
The flight won't be the longest in the Southwest network. That title probably belongs to its Baltimore-Los Angeles flight at 2,320 miles.
But the Baltimore-Costa Rica flight at 2,070 miles will be the longest in its international system, surpassing the current title holder, Baltimore-Aruba at 1,890 miles. It'll also surpass the 1,970-mile flight from Chicago to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, that Southwest will launch on Nov. 2.
As a final note, the addition of the Costa Rican destination will further complicate things for bag-taggers at Southwest, with SJC (San Jose, Calif.), SJU (San Juan, Puerto Rico), SJD (San Jose del Cabo, Mexico) and now SJO (San Jose, Costa Rica).

Rosy picture of schools simply ignores reality
Why did the Dec. 25 letter writer paint a surreal picture of Buffalo schools? Why did he effusively praise the teachers and staff, some of whom deserve it, plus an award for courage, but too many of whom he knows should have been removed long ago because they lack the necessary skills for a very demanding job, are lazy, or plain negligent? How could he ignore the desperate mothers and fathers trying to free their children from the 44 of 58 "Focus" and "Priority" ("Failing" is no longer used to describe failure) Buffalo schools? Schools that too often lead to an inadequate education, gang exposure and unemployment that sometimes leads to jail? Might it be because he is the regional director of New York State United Teachers, which he chose not to mention?
The writer was fortunate to have the money to choose private schools for his boys' early education that provided them the ability to test into Canisius and Olmsted High Schools. If all the Buffalo schools are what he portrays, shouldn't he make space for the parents who desperately want their children to be in the schools his children attend, by transferring his children to East, Riverside or Bennett and ask the Buffalo administrators and teachers who pay his salary to do the same?
His proposed solution, partnering through PTOs and shared decision making, is union and administrative controlled, sometimes by contract, to deny parents any democratic say and guarantee the status quo for the adults benefiting from them. I learned this firsthand as president of the Orchard Park Citizens Group that tried to reform our Orchard Park schools.
Isn't it time we adults put our children first by openly addressing the extremely serious academic problems our very generously funded education system has in the United States?

Camping through all the season was a great experience always learning something new every trip or exploring the best things mountains have to offer and finding out its tough work to survive.
Last year decided to just get out and do some hiking / camping solo ended up going on 15 solo trips to new locations almost every weekend. These are some of the experiences that happened out camping in the mountains from moose at 4 a.m. to a lightning storm while camping at 11,000ft at Twin Crater Lakes.

Geneva LiveBlog: Ford's commercial sense
Neil Briscoe
It's a relatively quiet Geneva for Ford this year, with just the reveal of the new EcoSport compact SUV to really make some headlines. And that is, of course, a car we have seen previously. It's been doing the motor show rounds for a while now, and was shown off by Ford last month at a big tech conference in Spain.
Still, it's significant enough, doubling at a stroke Ford's European SUV presence and also giving it something to sell in what is pretty much the only segment of the European car market still showing a pulse.
It's very, very American in its styling, keeping close to Ford boss Alan Mullaly's One Ford concept of selling the same models all across the world. Because it's an SUV, that Americana effect on the styling (even though it's actually built in India) will probably not do it any hard – we expect our SUVs to be brash and a bit of Uncle Sam bling doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Not sure if buyers will take to the oh-so-retro tailgate mounted spare wheel though, and it remains to be seen if the quality coming from Ford's Indian plant will be up to scratch for European buyers. The EcoSport lands here later in the year with 1.0 EcoBoost petrol and 1.5 TDCI diesel engines and an all-new naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol.
More interestingly, Ford was showing off the new Tourneo Courier, a five or seven seat MPV based on its globally popular compact van. Based on the same platform (and using the same engines) as the Fiesta and the B-Max, the Tourneo would normally be consigned to the commercial vehicles show and would be shunned by passenger car buyers. But Ford is about to turn that model on its head. Until now, Tourneo models (effectively the Transit family, from small to large, fitted with windows and seats) have been sold only through Ford's commercial and van dealers. From now on though, Tourneo models will find showroom space alongside Ford' regular car range, as Ford seeks to draw in the kind of value and practicality conscious motorists who would otherwise be checking out a Citroen Berlingo or Renault Kangoo.
We've often said that if badge snobbery were outlawed in the morning, it's cars like the Tourneo Courier that we'd all really be driving, so practical, useful and affordable are they. Ford may be about to prove us right or wrong…

Tree Inspector Certification Program—2013 Report
State certification of Tree Inspectors has been a mainstay in communities across Minnesota since the arrival of Dutch elm disease in the early 1970s. Tree Inspectors pass an exam to demonstrate proficiency in Dutch elm disease and oak wilt management, tree identification, firewood identification, and shade tree management.
The 2013 Recertification Workshops in greater Minnesota provided the latest research-based information on plant material quality, correcting tree stock problems, best planting practices, winter protection, community gravel bed options, and other timely topics. In 2013, over 900 new and recertified Tree Inspectors served local governments and private companies in over 650 of Minnesota's 870 communities. They have provided the foundation for urban forestry programs in most of these towns for 40 years. More information »

"Babe" is a film that delivers convincing effects, drama and tension while parading progressive themes. It perfectly manipulates the audience, herding us along a tight pathway in much the same way that the title pig of the film herds his sheep. The unforgivable crime being committed here is that we can now expect even more feel-good, talking animal films. This is no small horror considering that there were, quite literally, four previews for feel-good, talking animal films in front of my screening for "Babe."
Another major drawback to this movie is that it spoils your appetite for nice, creamy B.L.T. sandwiches, which is kind of sad because B.L.T. sandwiches with extra globs of mayonnaise and layers upon layers of bacon strips used to be one of my favorite things. Fear not, however, for I assure any viewer out there that even the most perfunctory screening of the pig-intensive "Gordy," one of the most sloppily conceived and despicable films ever made, will quickly rectify the situation and will make you feel that you have a responsibility to eat as many pigs whole as you possibly can.

The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is the ultimate camera phone, and here's why
0. phoneArena 20 Aug 2014, 07:33 posted on
The Galaxy K zoom is the ultimate camera-specialized device, offering consumers a new kind of experience that they will not find on any other smartphone today. Sporting a 20.7MP camera and 10x Optical Zoom, the Galaxy K zoom far surpasses the industry standard 16MP smartphone camera. In fact, it is directly competing with many of the more advanced standalone digital cameras on the market today...

Paying for an Advertisement to look like a review Says something about your product...
5. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
But see here's the thing: The K Zoom can actually back up this claim as it's been proven to be one of the best camera phones on the market today.
12. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Yes, it's one of the best. I personally also like it but I want a dual SIM variant of this, I hope someday Sammy will make it.
And that chic is really very hot. :)

And it's STILL pathetic to pay for an article-lookalike advertisement!

One of the best yes, however only in optical zoom, without it, other camera's have proven to outdo the shooting device. One being the 1020 and 808. Of course anything with an optical zoom will win in zoom vs digital.
But in terms of performance, the 808 and 1020 especially in low light have seen to be better.
Lets also not forget the 1020 advantage of the RAW format

2 centimeters is by no means thin, even for a camera. Sony (and probably everyone, i just specifically remember theirs when they came out) has been doing pretty thin cameras for years now. it just reads a little ridiculous.

To be honest I prefer this kind of ad to those pop-up windows, site-scattering banners and most of that pesky stuff. Keep in mind that you don't pay a dime for quite a good piece of journalism here and they need to pay their Netflix and takeaway pizza bills too, so since PA reviews phones, I think it's not a bad thing for them to earn on this very thing instead of adding another banner.
And turn off your AdBlock for this site, if most of us had done that, they wouldn't have needed to use AdBlock-resistant advertisement.
And since we are trolling downhere already, I'd like to add that iPhone is the best and all Android and Windows phones' are blatant ripoffs. Thank you.

When you put a 'here's why' in the title, you dont expect an ad or something similar, you expect a comparo of a few pics from other leading cameraphones like the 808, 1020, s5

phonearena is being samarena now always advertise samsung devices like they are the best in the world yet they dont know that k zoom is horrible in low light and even in good light

Prove it.

Actually, just watching the photos in gsmarena, you can see that the photos are inferior in every way compared to S5, S5 Alpha, Z2 and so. Only thing that it has is the zoom zoom. Like Mazda zoom zoom you know? heh Ok also it has the 4:3 ratio which the S5 doesn't have

Yep zoom is the only reason you'll buy this instead of flagship.

Advertising is not the same thing as soul selling.
If you have problem with such posts then start donating to the site rather the b*tching when they're only trying to earn for their authors and admin cost for the site....smh
19. chunky1x (Posts: 270; Member since: 28 Mar 2010)
Technically, advertising is soul selling.
21. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Lol.....no its just a business model.
Almost all the website display advertisement in their site somewhere. So by your logic, have all of them sold their souls too ?
26. chunky1x (Posts: 270; Member since: 28 Mar 2010)
Yes. They sold their soul to their capitalistic overlords for a specific number days, months or years. XD
38. Armchair_Commentator (Posts: 222; Member since: 08 May 2014)
and you're a member of that site reading their articles, does that mean you sold your soul too?

Very. It's pretty much well known he trolls Sammy articles and expresses his rage in the comment section.
27. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
By claiming the K Zoom, a dedicated camera phone, is actually one of the best? Not only did PA make that claim, but pretty much all tech websites did. Please educate yourself and quit trolling.
15. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Exactly. BTW almost didn't recognize you with the new pic.

Hmm, independent reviews still put L1020 higher than this one so nice try Samsung.
23. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
LOL......Z2 and GS5 have beaten the L1020 let alone K zoom in reviews by independent reviewers.
DoxMark is the most reliable name is the business when it comes to camera testing.
45. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Mainly for video, not pictures. This was also before the RAW format which greatly improved color (which is the lowest on the photo scores vs the s5, but other scores like noise etc blow the s5 away). It was also a late aug 2013 test vs ones done in march/jan with later builds and raw.
"In summary then, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is one of the best camera phones for stills, but its video performance could be improved which lowers the overall ranking to fourth place.
In fact, under low light conditions the Lumia 1020 outperforms rivals, producing still images with low noise and detail preservation that are simply the best we've ever seen from a smartphone."
Not only that, once it got RAW format, it is still the only phone to go through the actual DXOmarks CAMERA test, not just the mobile test. Meaning it was up against dedicated cameras not phones.
ROFL nice try though
22. kkmkk (Posts: 481; Member since: 06 May 2013)
what i really want from my future smartphone is to have this camera capabilities without that huge hump in the back ................... this will really be the perfect smartphone for me
24. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Then you will never get the perfect smartphone because for 20x optical zoom you either need a hump or a very thick device
48. kkmkk (Posts: 481; Member since: 06 May 2013)
you cant know what the future could bring
for example we never thought the we would have 2k display in phone or 41 megapixel camera and much else
but here we are having al these thing
so saying that this thing cant happen is just madness and unfuture prof
58. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
But some things are just against the laws of physics. You can't fit a 10 liter water tank into a small phone. You cant fit a big optical zoom into a slim phone, because it just requires so much lenses an space. Something that may become possible, is a very high megapixel count and then a very advanced digital zoom.
63. kkmkk (Posts: 481; Member since: 06 May 2013)
i agree with you my friend
but we always should hope for the best and you dont know maybe laws of physics can be broken by the galaxy k zoom 10 ...... just maybe
29. TheMarelis (Posts: 6; Member since: 23 Mar 2014)
Still... Yellow Lumia 1020, your argument is invalid.
31. M5OOO (Posts: 11; Member since: 15 May 2013)
why they set this big heavy lens to phone? just for x10 optical zoom?!
this is easier with accessore and attachable lens ...

Nokia Lumia 1020......more than your eyes can see.
33. tokuzumi (Posts: 961; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
This is a great phone, with one exeption; 8GB of storage. I'm sure Sammy uses 5+GB of that space, so you are basically not allowed to install any apps on the phone. I guess Samsung doesn't think you want to do anything but take pictures with the phone, and use their Galaxy suite of apps.
39. Malhar (Posts: 45; Member since: 29 Dec 2012)
Samsung must be paying PA for such articles...Everyone knows Nokia L1020 is the ultimate camera phone.

The first sentence is a fact. You have to pay to advertise.
The second sentence is an opinion.

As someone who owns this and a 1020 and 808, the zoom in no way beats both of them. It has its strengths (zoom, extensive options, lots of artistic modes, and I love the face tagging) but as I had to learn, using it in low light conditions is a chore.
With my 1020 and 808, the flash is almost always enough to light the scene. Rarely will I ever touch the exposure. Not with the Zoom though. Every photo I took in a dark room (like at a bar) was incredibly dark for a phone that just fired a xenon flash. Turns out, you have to enter Program mode, which will allow you to adjust shutter speed and ISO only, play around until you find the right combo, and that's how you get decently lit photos. There is no screen where you can't access all settings like you can on the 1020 which is a major drawback of a supposedly camera-centric device.
The lack of an LED light is also a big loss too. It only has the red focus light (think N8), so no recording video at night. Sound quality won't be anywhere near as good as the 1020, let alone 808 either.
If you want Android and a great camera with a xenon flash, it's the only phone to go with, until Samsung finally realizes that all they need to do is take an S5 and throw a xenon+LED onto it.

Way better than 1020. I don't even know why people are excited and happy saying the 1020 is better. Bottom line, it is not. K Zoom FTW
52. Damo579 (Posts: 242; Member since: 18 May 2013)
The k zoom has better zoom capabilities but that's it. In most conditions the 1020 is better.

He is the Samsung fan who praise samsung if they give a crappy overpriced gadget. Don't try to explain these trolls.

The problem are not the fan the problem is you... who do you think want a good camera phone running window... is that why they sell so much oh wait

Broken Flowers
I guess Bill Murray is now the poster child for self-reflective middle age types. If "Lost in Translation" and Jim Jarmusch's "Broken Flowers" are any indication, these people are so hopelessly full of themselves and their own memories that a nearly infinite amount of focal intensity still isn't enough to glean all the meaning out of their lives.
Apparently, just staring at Murray's face is supposed to convey sadness because he sure as hell doesn't convey anything else. Murray has honed staring into space into an art from (or, at least, a steady career in indie filmmaking). However, I'll concede that he certainly is sad. Sad in a way that screams: "Please give me an Oscar! Oh, please!" Watching his form of minimalism is like staring at that white painting in the art museum and wondering who in the hell deemed this art.
Here, Murray plays Don Johnston, a sullen bachelor. Our association with him starts as his latest relationship, with Sherry (Julie Delpy), ends. He then receives a letter from some past lover suggesting that he may have a 19-year-old son. This seems to interest Don's neighbor, Winston (Jeffrey Wright), more than it does Don. Winston arranges Don's travel so that Don can visit the possible past girlfriends who might be the mother. For no apparent reason, Don goes along with the plan and visits Laura (Sharon Stone), Dora (Frances Conroy), Carmen (Jessica Lange) and Penny (Tilda Swinton). We learn almost nothing from these visits other than the fact that Don's ex-girlfriends are weird.
Here's what's particularly stupid and meaningless about this film: It's minimalist in that its only real point is that Don eventually recognizes meaning in his life. That's not enough to make a film interesting. I also don't particularly care for the implication that a bachelor can't have a meaningful life and that Don's life is somehow fuller merely because he might have a long-lost son out there. This is one of the central problems with our society: Too many people think their lives have no meaning until kids are involved, and as a result they disgorge a few more shrieklings onto an overcrowded planet in a quest for their own personal fulfillment. It's revolting. Like this movie.

Our son Parker was born in 2005. At age 3 we suspected he had a form of Autism. After many months of testing we received the diagnosis Pervasive Developmental Disorder which is listed on the Autism Spectrum as one of the five forms of Autism. Parkers treatments became delayed because the Insurance Company we had created a mountain of red tape. Finally in desperation Parkers mother Kelly asked me if I could organize a benefit to create a Medical Fund to help us begin the treatments. I asked a few of my band friends and they came together to perform at Parker's Benefit. The event was such a success that we began to talk about the possibility of doing it again to help other children. In the meantime Parker began his treatments at The Cincinnati Center for Autism. Kelly and I got to know the Director Amanda Sparks very well. I began discussing with Amanda our Idea for Autism Rocks and how we could best use the money we raised.
That was the birth of Autism Rocks and Rockin for Autism Every year the first Sunday after the Super Bowl we hold the event Autism Rocks and in the summer we hold Rockin for Autism. Autism Rocks 6 will be held Sunday February 8, 2015.The event begins at 12:00 noon and after Prizoner ends the show, we will gather everyone to make a check presentation to the Ken Anderson Foundation.

Graham Moody, Sports Reporter / / Ryman Premier
Croydon Athletic have been given a stay of execution by the Ryman League as hopes they can find new investment grow.
The league's board met yesterday to discuss the future of the Rams, who have not been able to play a Division One South match since December 3 after running out of money.
It was thought a decision would be made to remove them from the league and the table but, having spoken to the club's owner, Jenna Manji, the league decided to give the club one last chance to find a way out of their debt-ridden mire.
"We are asking them to come up with a decision themselves within a certain period and we are going to work with them on that," said the league's secretary Nick Robinson.
"Rather than us saying this is it, we want to give them time as they are still talking to possible investors.
"We do not want to take any action that will stop that process and maybe stop the club surviving.
"We cannot let it go on too long though as we have a league to run and cannot go on having one less game a week.
"But we are in dialogue with Jenna Manji and will continue with that."

Locally led conservation meeting set in Rayville
A locally led conservation meeting will be held in Richland Parish to Identify resource concerns for Boeuf River Soil and Water Conservation District will be held at 9 a.m. Feb. 24 at the Rayville Civic Center.
Community involvement is significantly important to the locally led conservation process and all partners involved in conservation. At the locally led conservation meeting citizens will be able to voice concerns, provide comments and help identify conservation issues.
Resting in the hands of local community members is the future of valuable natural resources and the decisions that are made to conserve, enhance and sustain the integrity of soil, water and air quality in throughout Louisiana.
Conservation of resources can not be achieved by one group, government agency or the individual – it takes cooperative conservation.
Cooperative conservation starts first with active involvement of the individual community member who helps identify the resource needs of the community. Community involvement helps local Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service assess and prioritize resource concerns on a community level. Local natural resource priorities help district technical and financial assistance decisions that NRCS and SWCD make throughout the year.
Locally led conservation efforts are successful with the help from our residents. PLease, become involved in locally led conservation. For more information, contact the NRCS and SWCD field office today by calling 728-2081 ext 3. Our office is located at 141 Industrial Loop, Rayville. For additional information concerning the program or assistance that we provide , visit us on the web at www.la.nrsc.usda.gov.

Dead in Tombstone
A group of outlaws under the lead of Guerrero Hernandez (Danny Trejo) and his half brother Red Cavanaugh (Anthony Michael Hall) hears about a small town where there's a dispute about a gold mine that's resulted in a large quantity of the ore laying around in the office of the local sheriff, waiting to be transported. The seven of them decide to rob the town and get the gold, but after a succesful attack whereby the sheriff gets killed Red gets the idea to settle down and take over control of the town permanently.
Guerrero thinks this is all but a great idea but Red and the others turn against him and with a couple of bullets in his chest he gets sent to the afterlife which in his case means hell. There he comes eye to eye with the devil (Mickey Rourke) who gives him the chance to win back his life. All he needs to do is return to Tombstone which in the meantime is run by Red and his men and kill all his former associates. Small detail: he only gets 24 hours and needs to kill them all in that period of time or otherwise the deal falls through…
Mickey Rourke as the Devil, Danny Trejo as a praying demon returning from death and looking for vengeance, and Anthony Michael Hall (Dead Zone, The Dark Knight) as the leader of a gang of outlaws who've taken over control of the legendary western town Tombstone. It sounds like something that could have come out of the mind of Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino and after seeing this movie you suddenly realise that you effectively need a Tarantino or a Rodriguez to make something like this work, and not a Roel Reiné who previously already delivered the not so great Death Race 2 and 3.
Dead in Tombstone starts already with quite a ridiculous setup; the devil making a deal where Danny Trejo has to kill his former gang members so they get sent to hell. Thinking is clearly not advisable with this movie as otherwise you would wonder what the use is of this deal as in the end these guys will end up in hell anyway. Has the devil run out of patience because there's too many good people running around in the Wild West? It does seem so as "hell" in this movie seems véry empty… "Oh well", you think, "it's a B movie so don't think too much and just enjoy what passes by on the screen!". Unfortunately that isn't too great either.
One cliché after the other, stupid one-liners that have no impact, acting that doesn't rise above that of the average American soap, and action that doesn't get displayed all too great either. Dina Meyer can catch our attention for a while as the sexy ex-wife of the murdered sheriff, but that effect quickly gets countered by Anthony Michael Hall who may love playing the bad guy for once but clearly doesn't have a talent for it. You hope Mickey Rourke or Danny Trejo can uplift the leven a bit but no luck here either. Rourke plays as an overweight robot and Trejo runs around as a hyperkinetic dwarf in clothes that are too big. What Dead in Tombstone shows most of all is that both actors cannot uplift the quality of a movie without decent directing.
After seeing the trailer we had high expectations for Dead in Tombstone. A wacko horror version of Pale Rider (from 1985 with Clint Eastwood) with some so-called top actors in the most legendary town from the Wild West can't be bad, right? Well it can…
The image and sound quality on this Blu-ray are good and we didn't notice any specific technical issues. Having said that we do want to mention that the scenes in hell really don't look good, are clearly manipulated and have some amateuristic CGI added.
The extras contain deleted scenes, a Making Of and some features on the director, the visual effects and action scenes, but in all honesty you really don't want to spend time seeing how this stupid movie was made after watching it.

About 20 or so. 2 each morning fried and most days boiled one in the salad for lunch.
I go through phases. Some weeks I eat three, others I eat 20. Last Thursday I bought 18 free-range eggs and I have 3 left (although four were used for baking last night!).

Weight does NOT equal health -- ditch the scale, don't be a slave to it!
About a dozen, either cooked in coconut oil or poached in bone broth.
I probably average 25-30 per week. Fried in coconut oil, in Primal omelets, or hard boiled as a "to go" snack. I eat organic free-run, free range, or omega3 eggs depending on where I am or what's on sale.
"It's a great life, if you don't weaken.". John Buchan
about 28-30 a week, they are just so good!
I'd say around 20-25, but would like to eat more of them - cheaper than meat!
I used to take 3 soft-boiled eggs and a glob of butter to work for a late breakfast/snack, then have omelets on the weekend. I became sensitive to eggs, so now I rarely eat them.
It's a rare week when I eat more than zero. I'm burned out when it comes to eggs.
Eat all the eggs.
I have a 3 egg omelet every day. The filling is usually spinach or mushrooms or onions. We also pickle hardboiled eggs in beet juice or jalapeno pepper juice for a quick snack.
So the answer is: 42.
Another nice thing about them is it's easy to figure their nutritional data if you need to count calories or whatever.

Telephones. Roses. Nose picking. Do these ordinary things terrify you? "If not, they should," says Melinda Muse, 53, author of the morbidly fascinating I'm Afraid, You're Afraid: 448 Things to Fear and Why. Hatched during her stint as a medical writer, the eye-opening guide posits that danger lurks everywhere. To wit: About 14,000 people a year land in the emergency room from such phone-related injuries as bonking themselves with receivers. Rose thorns transmit sporotrichosis, a fungal disease. And probing your proboscis can rupture the mucous membrane, "causing an infection that may find its way to your brain and create a blood clot," she says.
"The world is more dangerous than it's ever been," adds Muse, who is single (marital spats elevate blood pressure) and lives (carefully) in a roomy old apartment in a Maine coastal town. Indeed, from aluminum foil (the dispenser cutter is bloody sharp) to croquet mallets (instant wrist-sprainers), it's a regular jungle in there. Even things that seem healthful can be hazardous, such as quitting smoking (nicotine withdrawal may be disorienting), toothbrushes (bacteria farms) and eating alfalfa sprouts (hello, salmonella!).
Not to worry. Muse, who spent two years researching the book, says her purpose is not to alarm people but to make them laugh at their most absurd anxieties. Even so, knowing the risks of yo-yos (shooting the moon might break a tooth) and sugar-free gum (can cause diarrhea) can have value. Says Muse: "Ignorance is far from bliss."

Penn State-Delco basketball coach Bill Wiley concedes that he is slightly frustrated.
Wiley has made phone calls to several Division III coaches on behalf of one of his players, 6-foot sophomore point guard Jeff Danzi. Wiley figured that it would be an easy sell. Danzi, an Upper Darby High graduate, has not only carried Wiley's 9-9 team, but he also carries a 3.2 grade-point average at the community college.
"Thus far, I've been frustrated by the lack of interest," Wiley said. ''Some of the schools haven't even called back. But I'm not finished trying. I'm going to keep contacting coaches, because this kid can play ball at the next level for somebody."

WEST WINDSOR — Though Allentown ran into the buzzsaw, otherwise known as Brooklawn Post 72, for its first loss of the New Jersey District 3 tournament, Brett Miller's club still remains in the driver's seat for the program's first-ever Final Eight berth.
Brooklawn broke open a one-run game with two runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth in easing past Allentown, 8-2, tonight at Mercer County Park.
Allentown will take on the winner of tomorrow's 4 p.m. game between Robbinsville Post 530 and Gibbsboro Post 371 at 7 p.m. at field No. 1.
Brooklawn pushed three runs across in the bottom of the first inning, parlaying three hits and a pair of walks into an early lead.
Allentown starting pitcher Mark Duffy pulled his club to within a run with a two-out, two-run single in the third to make it 3-2.
Duffy, who turned 19 today, kept Post 72, the defending national champion, off the scoreboard for the next four innings before Brooklawn used three bunts and two singles to tack on two more runs in the fifth.
Brooklawn scored two more in the sixth, aided by an error and a passed ball, to end Duffy's evening.
Allentown reliever Pat McCarthy got the final out of the sixth and pitched a scoreless seventh inning.
Zack Reutsch came on to pitch the eighth and worked around two hits to keep Brooklawn off of the scoreboard.
Trailing 5-2 in the top of the sixth inning, Allentown had a chance to chisel away at the deficit when Duffy singled to lead off the frame and Brandon Reutsch followed with a single.
Brooklawn got the first out on a fielder's choice, but Pete Marsicano walked to load the bases.
Brooklawn reliever Kevin Terifay, in for starter Eric Schorr, then induced a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat.
Miller will likely use some combination of Kevin Smith, Trevor Buckalew or Bryan Atchley against the Robbinsville-Gibbsboro winner.
Allentown defeated Robbinsville, 12-0, on June 8 and again, 8-0, on June 30.
Allentown (18-8) 002 000 000—2 5 2
Brooklawn 72 (39-5) 300 023 00x—8 12 0
2B— B: Pete Farlow. RBI— A: Mark Duffy 2; B: Sean Breen 2, John Malatesta, Tyler Mondile.
WP— Eric Schorr (5-1). LP— Duffy (2-4).

text: Sigh. Robyn Lawley reigns. A little while we back we saw her rocking the ish out of a Cosmopolitan Australia shoot, and now the model is putting in werk with a new spread in the magazine's April issue. Robyn dons her own clothes in this one, and she's definitely making me wanna brighten up my wardrobe. Her prints are fabulous, and she looks amazing! I also just learned that she's got her own cooking show in the works, titled Robyn Lawley Eats. The show is aptly named after her Tumblr (which PITNBr PeaButNutter put me on to a while back), and I can't wait to see what Robyn has in store for us. In the meantime, peep the gallery for more!0
