Regardless of where you sit in the Samsung copying Apple discussion, the Korean smartphone maker announced its latest tool in the fight against its Cupertino rival: a Passbook-style ticket and coupon management app called Samsung Wallet. Unveiling Wallet at its Developer Day at Mobile World Congress, Samsung explains that it has launched the tool with an open API, allowing users to save tickets, boarding passes, coupons and similar cards to the app and access them from a central hub. At launch, the company has US partners onboard, including Walgreens, MLB, Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com and Lufthansa. The service has been rumored for some time, since Samsung filed a US trademark application on the term 'Samsung Wallet' back in March 2012. The app will not support payments but it does support NFC, but Samsung will likely lean on its partnership with VISA to offer NFC payments.

One of the powerful features of ActionScript is its ability to just randomize content, and that's where I'm at with this project is I want to be able to just randomize the position of these movie clips, because what's currently going on is there's about 100 raindrops coming down in the same position. So this is, again, a perfect case for ActionScript where I want to randomize some of those properties for those movie clips. So I'm going to select this first layer, I'll open up the Actions panel, and again here's where I place all of the movie clips.
They actually get added to the stage. They're all called raindrop, and then down here, I referenced each one in this rainArray, which I have kind of been referring to as a big cloud, because it contains lots of raindrops. So this is the motion up here. This is where they get created. So after they are created - and quite frankly I want to change the position of each one as they get added to the stage - so right in here, this is where I want to change the properties of each raindrop.
So all I need to do is say raindrop, and for this raindrop, maybe I will change the X position. So to left or right, change its X position. In this case, I want to go ahead and find a random number. I'll show you an easy way to do that, because if I open up my Code Snippets panel - just minimize that a little bit - under the Actions folder, there is Generate a Random Number.
So let me just go ahead and double- click on Generate a Random Number. There's instructions for it, but overall, what I want to do is I want to go ahead and get a random number, and that's right in here. This gets the random number. So that's what I want to use. There is also Math floor as well. Math floor, that sort of rounds the number down. Anytime you use Math random, it actually gets a number between 0 and 1, and it might be 0.25, whatever the case may be.
This rounds it down to a whole number. So I'm going to just steal this code right here. So I'm going to copy it, and I'll just delete that. But I encourage you to use the Code Snippets panel as a way to sort of start writing your code. Okay, raindrop X, and I will just go ahead and paste in that Math floor, Math random. I do want to get a random number, but I want to get a random number between 0 and the stage width.
So Math random, times, let's do stage, stageWidth. It highlights. I can Hit enter, and it will add it, just like that. So whatever that random number is, go ahead and multiply it by the stage width. So that's going to give me a number between 0 and the width of the stage, which happens to be 1,000 pixels. But in case my stage ever changes, that's why I'm typing this in.
I'll just keep this as Math.floor. So that's going to randomize the X position. Well, if I run this code now - I'll just do a quick test movie - you can see it animates all of them down, and again, that was pretty drastic. So in fact, if I run that again, you'll also notice that it just animates them all down, and then when they reach the bottom, they all are back where they were. So that's why I have to take this line of code, copy it, and down below, right in here, instead of putting it at zero, I need to go ahead and paste in that line of code.
So again, it's not raindrop X. I'm referring to, actually, the rainArray, and whatever raindrop that is being animated. Again, I've changed this from 0 to that random number. Now, if I do a test movie, it will not only be random here, but when they come down again, they will also be in a random position. Again, I haven't seen rain like this, so I probably want to change it, but it's the same process.
I'll just copy this line again, paste it, and I'll change it from X to Y, and let's make this equal to the stage height. It's going to go ahead and randomize the position for each one that way, as well Let's do a test movie. Now, it looks pretty good. At least everything is random, but overall, I think it needs more depth, because all my raindrops are the same size. So I want to adjust the opacity, and even the size of each raindrop.
So back in here, next line. I'm going to change the alpha, and the alpha is usually a number between 0 and 1, which happens to be what Math random returns. So I'll just copy that and paste it below. So now it's going to get a random number for my alpha. Next up, raindrop.scale X is going to be equal to again Math random, because scale X is a number between 0 and 1.
0.5 would be 50%, so it's 50% opaque, or transparent - whichever way you want to look at it. Next up, I have raindrop scale Y. Now, I don't want to do a random number for the scale Y because I always want it to be the same scale as the scale X. So I'll actually copy this and paste it right here. Now, it's always going to scale it down proportionately.
Lastly, what I'm going to do is I'm going to click the Auto format button and the Check Syntax button, just to make sure it cleans up my code. In fact, I'll just go ahead and remove all those spaces as well, and add some final comments, since my code seems to be down right now. Move the raindrops. Again, this is so in case I come into this code later on or want to reuse it, I'll remember what everything does. But I'd say that looks pretty good. I'd say it looks set up.
But this final test movie will prove if it does and sure enough, it does work out just great. You can see those different-sized raindrops. I'd say my only complaint now, which might be my last edit, is to increase the speed of these raindrops. So let's up this to about 16, and let's make this, say, 4. The raindrops are going to go a lot faster. That's better! I like that, and again, I can start to play with those various properties.
But you can see that it is pretty straightforward to manipulate movie clips. Again, these are all being pulled from the library, and I'm manipulating them randomly, and you can see the results I get are quite impressive, considering animating these separately would take me a long time.

Given the number of flatbeds, pickup trucks, and fuel tankers rumbling around Merion Golf Club these days, you'd be forgiven for thinking a skyscraper was being constructed nearby.
The commotion, however, is the result of another tall task: transforming the venerable Main Line institution - one so steeped in tradition that it doesn't allow members to use electronic devices at the club - into a site ready to host the 2013 U.S. Open and the 25,000 spectators expected to attend each day.
The weeklong championship celebration doesn't begin until June 10, and the players don't start competing until June 13. But construction has been underway for months, club neighbors and township officials say, and activity has picked up as festivities draw closer.

One of the greatest assets in the fight to end polio is the commitment of supporters around the globe. Share your story with Rotary for an opportunity to be featured on EndPolio.org.
May 21, 2014
Asher Ali
Rotary's Pakistan National PolioPlus Committee's objective is to intensify interventions for polio eradication in the country and specifically focus in on areas with high-risks of polio transmission. In these identified high-risk areas, we are working on developing and facilitating a monitoring system through cell phones that will allow us to reach more children. This innovative step to reach children under five years of age will be executed through an implementing partner, the Mother & Neonatal Child Health, a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation program, the government of Sindh and Telenor Pakistan, cellular network company.
This intervention will benefit the Mother & Neonatal Child Health program by directly connecting community based workers with health service centers. They will receive 552 cell phones and with teamwork, they can cover many children missed by polio vaccination campaigns in their catchment areas and expand routine immunizations.
The first step of the cell phone project was to procure 552 cell phones. The funds for this matching grant came from The Rotary Foundation and we are thankful to Rotary Club Baroda Metro, India and Rotary Club Karachi Kolachi, Pakistan for sponsoring this grant.
The Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony for the cell phone project was on January 27, 2014 at Serena Hotel, Islamabad. Telenor Pakistan hosted the ceremony. The ceremony headed by Past District Governor Aziz Memon, National Chair Pakistan National Polio Plus Committee and Mr. Irfan Wahab Khan, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Telnor Pakistan.
Memon gave details on a polio outbreak in the country and how Rotary has worked toward a polio-free future for Pakistan. He highlighted the significance of the cell phone project's ability to help eradicate polio by covering a wide range of children. He said the project will initially cover five districts in Sindh with the collaboration of Maternal Neonatal and Child Health Project and the government of Sindh. Upon successful results, it may be replicated in other polio high risk districts around the country.
Commenting on the initiative, Khan said that Telenor Pakistan is proud to be a part of this great initiative by Rotary Pakistan and he commended them for this gesture. Community based projects like these have far reaching impact on our coming generations and make the most of people that we have at our disposal. He said Telenor Pakistan is pleased to participate in the noble cause of eradication of polio from Pakistan. He said that it is their social responsibility to facilitate the project and help it reach its objectives. Telenor offered very competitive packages for the community based workers to provide humanitarian services. He added that Telenor Pakistan will provide quality services throughout its tenure.
Khan thanked all Rotarians and Memon for their bold step to cover a wider population under five years of age in Pakistan in protection against polio.

This is what I think happened: A few hedgies saw the momo Friday and decided to go along for the ride. Yesterday they shorted after seeing it would not push through resistance and started hitting bids around 2pm to "make it both ways". Buying pressure was too strong though and we finished with a small upper shadow. Today, they waited until lull in volume and clear profit taking , and hit the bids again which took it down fast as stops tripped. I see good support around 18.65-19.00. LT MAGS should do fine.IMHO.DD.

Solutions for Chapter 12.1
It is given that, R is an integral domain and M is a R-module. Let x is a nonzero torsion element of M. Hence, for nonzero element in R we have .
In order to show that, x and 0 are linearly dependent it is enough to show that, rank of .
Let S be a nonempty subset of . Let , then for any nonzero r in R, . But S cannot be linearly independent.
Let be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be a linearly independent set of maximal order. As S is linearly independent hence, no element of S can be in . Now we claim that, the set be a subset of is linearly independent.
Now for , belongs to . Then for nonzero element, a in R we have,
But R is an integral domain and a is a nonzero element, therefore, for all i, . Hence, is linearly independent. Again we claim that, and S have the same cardinality.
In order to prove that, and S have the same cardinality it is enough to prove that for all i and j, does not belongs to .
Let a be an element of R. Therefore,
Here and are linearly independent and hence, . This shows that and S have the same cardinality.
Hence, the rank of is less than or equal to rank of M.
Now we shall prove that rank of M is less than or equal to rank of . Let and assume that is linearly independent. Now we claim that, S is linearly independent in M.
Now assume that,
Next, in . Therefore, and hence S is a subset of M and S is linearly independent. It is clear that, cardinality of S is less than or equal to the cardinality of .
Hence, rank of M is less than or equal to rank of .
Therefore, rank of M and rank of is the same.

Installing OEM cruise control in 2012+ Impreza 2.0i base model

4. Disconnect the air bag harnesses
Depending on the region, there may be one or two harnesses, which are color-coded. You need to pry up the clip first then the body of the harness.
5. Disconnect the horn
There is a small hook and you need to press it before removing.
6. Disconnect the steering wheel control harnesses
The 12-pin harness is for horn, cruise control and satellite remote control. The small, 4-pin one on the right is for paddle shift. The XV Crosstrek keyboard I used here has different design for the right one so cannot be plugged in.
7. Mark the position of the steering wheel with tapes
Makes it easier when re-installing.
8. Remove the main lug
You need a good lug wrench to do so. I found the ratchet wrench in my tool set was too shallow and flimsy for this job. I used a wheel lug wrench. Its tightening torque is 39 N-m or 29 lbf-ft.
9. Take off the steering wheel
Wiggle around the wheel from different location to loosen it, and use good strength to pull it out.
10. Remove the back cover and the (empty) keyboards
Flip over the steering wheel, and remove the back cover. Each keyboard is hold by a Phillips screw, which can be easily removed.
11. Install the new keyboards, put everything back in reverse order, and enjoy the cruise control (and satellite remote)!
The computer will detect the new component and adapt automatically in starting up. Watch the upper right corner of LED display.
Cruise control turned on:
The illumination color of the keys fits perfectly:
It is absolutely unnecessary to use an aftermarket cruise control kit. Go buy a keyboard and enjoy the function your car already has!

The main issue of the whole complex is the mix of simple volumes and ever new and evocative prospective effects of the internal and external spaces. The church, which varies in height, features a ceiling that is partly coffered (after a modern restyling) and partly open zenithally, above the presbytery standing on a raised platform, for an evocative lighting of the liturgical center. The altar is a copy of a table by Piero Bottoni (an architect of the Milanese rationalism movement) made of concrete, which underlines the sacred intimacy of the Eucharistic celebration.
The weekday chapel can be accessed from the church through a light blue corridor. Inside, the Greek-cross structure, clearly visible from outside, is shaped like an L, since it only occupies two arms of the cross; the two other arms are roofless spaces that let light in from above with charmingly cozy effects.
The bell-tower, the third important element of the complex, stands on the other side of the parvis with respect to the chapel. It is a short, hollow tower, characterized by plays of volumes, the clever use of the light, and contrasts between volumes and voids.
Basically, three materials have been used: bricks, which help to make a link with the town; open-face concrete, which stresses the functionality of structures; glass, which is an evocative tool for driving light and looks.

Typically these two stocks move in unison, don't ask me why, I dk. But it will be up tomorrow would be my best guess...QLIK had good #s. My first Q with no options going into erns and thathat's a bummer. Pretty heavily loaded into FTNT here.
Sentiment: Buy
enjoy your stinker stock as dow hits all time high, \cramer did it agan, Cramerized
Great Call !! LOL
Well that didn't play out like I thought it would but I'm sure we can afford the 1.25% slide...again.
Buy low sell high. I 'm here mainly for a buyout. They've been rumored for years and maybe now with their stock in the dumps it's time to return some of those calls and talk numbers. I see $10 upside in 6 mos. Downside, if it holds the low 16's, well then $1 more is the downside. I'll have to sell some calls every month to make this thing yield.
At 4.5x '13 sales this is a way safer play than WDAY, N, SPLK, or NOW. Out of those crazy fliers. Though I'd sure love to see FTNT trade at 15-20x sales! I'd be happy with a 7x.

Oppo Ups the Ante
The Blu-ray format has seen its fair share of changes since its introduction in 2006. Its initial launch included players with base playback functionality and poisonously slow boot-up and disc-loading times. Then came BonusView-enabled players, which added a minimum 256 megabytes of local storage with secondary audio and video decoders for picture-in-picture. Next were the BD-Live-capable players. These required an Internet connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and a minimum of 1 gigabyte of local storage (sometimes purchased separately), which allowed access to mostly useless online content. After the wild success of Avatar, the studios have jumped into 3D with both feet. Blu-ray 3D players now support a maximum data rate of 72 megabits per second (up from 48 Mbps in previous generations), include HDMI 1.4, and of course, these players support 3D video, 3D menus, and 3D subtitles.
Blu-ray meets Google TV
Google TV strives to deliver a new experience by bringing your TV and Internet together. It gives its users access to more entertainment options, and its powerful search capabilities make it easier to find what you want to watch. Two of the first products to incorporate Google TV are the Logitech Revue and Sony's Internet TV Blu-ray player (NSZ-GT1). While both are based on the same platform, Sony ups the ante by including a Blu-ray player with a $100 price premium. While Kim Wilson explored the virtues of Google TV in our February 2011 issue, I'll take a look at the NSZ-GT1's Blu-ray capabilities and see how a Google TV–powered player stacks up against the other streaming Blu-ray players on the market.
Back to Basics
The fundamental purpose of an optical digital disc player is to play back optical digital discs. While that may be self-evidently redundant, there's a wide selection of players on the market that offer a numbing range of additional, gee-whiz features. These include such things as SACD and DVD-Audio playback, streaming and downloading of movies and other Internet content (sometimes wirelessly), and of course, today's top banana, 3D.
A Streaming Value
It's hard to believe that it's been three years since HD DVD lost the format war. Toshiba bet the farm on HD DVD, and ever since Warner Brothers and several large retailers decided to stop supporting the format, many pundits wondered how long it would take the company to release a Blu-ray player.
Looking for the Right Fit
Let's say you hit the mall looking for a leather jacket. You find a store with an especially nice selection and immerse yourself in the joy of leather. At first, you just walk around enjoying the sights. But then you refine your search: by color, style, material, lining, presence or absence of shoulder padding, the mechanical integrity of the zipper, and the little things, like whether there's a fastened interior pocket the right size for your iPhone. Finally you hit the target, finding the jacket line that meets all of your specifications. You begin pawing through jackets, at first enjoying the little thrill of handling something you actually may buy. You paw through some more, getting nervous. Finally, you reach the end of the rack, and you're frantic. You turn around, find a salesperson standing there, and ask: "Is this jacket available in a small?" The salesperson smirks and answers: "Sorry, sir, we only have that in large or extra-large."
Fastest Drawer in the West?
A quick Internet search can easily turn up a Blu-ray player or two for sale at close to $100—and plenty of decent-performing ones for less than $200. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a refurbished player for under a hundred bucks. The great thing about the situation for consumers is that there are plenty of goodperforming, affordable Blu-ray players out there—but that means any upscale manufacturer has its work cut out for it to distinguish itself from the herd. So if a manufacturer is going to be bold enough to come out with a Bluray player for $699 or so, that machine had better be top notch.
Blu-ray 3D Is Here
To 3D or not to 3D, that is the question. Sorry to go Shakespeare on you, but I'm skeptical as to whether 3D is the next big thing on the horizon. Samsung is one of the major players vying for your 3D dollar, and I have to give the company credit for leading the charge on the next advancement in home entertainment. You may recall that Samsung was the first company to release a Blu-ray player (BD-P1000). While that launch wasn't as smooth as the company would have liked due to a faulty noise-reduction setting, Samsung eventually fixed it, and the format has now become mainstream. Is history going to repeat itself for Blu-ray 3D? And if not, is the BD-C6900 worth your 2D investment?
More Than Just a Disc Player
LG Electronics has proven itself to be the most innovative manufacturer of Blu-ray players in the world. It was first to market with an HD DVD/Bluray Disc combo player (BH100), a player with Netflix streaming (BD300), and a player with 802.11n Wi-Fi (BD390). To continue its string of firsts, LG's BD590 is the first standalone Blu-ray player to include a builtin 250-gigabyte hard drive. It provides storage for BD-Live interactivity and can store movies purchased from VUDU, plus you can rip your favorite CDs for easy access. The player also lets you access Gracenote's vast database of movie and music metadata. You can look up information by pushing a button on the remote. Let's take a look and see how the BD590 stacks up to LG's previous efforts.
A Chip Off the Flagship's Block?
Denon turned the Blu-ray world on end when it introduced the $4,500 DVD-A1UDCI universal Blu-ray player (HT, October 2009). At 41 pounds, that player is overbuilt for an A/V receiver. It played all past and current high-end audio and video formats and offered astonishing pure audio and video performance and the most impressive host of performance-enhancing features we've yet seen on a Blu-ray player. But ergonomically, it was sluggish loading and playing Blu-ray Discs. When you consider that, along with the hefty price tag and the superlative performance we've seen from lower-priced players, Denon's flagship rated too low on the value scale to earn an unqualified Home Theater Top Pick. Now comes Denon's DBP-4010UDCI, another universal Blu-ray Disc player. This player has an impressive number of performance-oriented features, and at $1,999, it's less than half the flagship's price. So, at this lower price point, is this Denon a solid choice in a high-end-priced player?
We've reviewed Sony's PlayStation 3 twice in Home Theater (March 2007 and May 2008). Since Sony has provided many updates to its software and hardware, it deserves another look. When it originally launched in November 2006, the Blu-ray format was on the ropes due to its lackluster titles and handicapped first-generation players. Even die-hard supporters were wobbly in the legs, and they pinned their hopes on the delayed game system as the format's savior.
Their hopes were ultimately redeemed. The PS3 effectively ended the format war—even though it took Toshiba more than a year to wave the white flag. For more than three years, the PS3 has dominated the landscape as the best Blu-ray player on the planet because of its incredible speed, rock-solid stability, and constant updates.
Sony sells seven stand-alone Blu-ray players, ranging from its entry level BDP-S360 ($150, HT, July 2009) up to its Elevated Standard BDP-CX7000ES MegaChanger ($1,900, HT, March 2010). But one of the biggest complaints against Sony's BD players has been the lack of networking features. Well, Sony has addressed that complaint with the BDP-N460. It includes a plethora of streaming options from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube, Slacker, and a host of other content providers—some more useful than others. Network connectivity is a great add-on feature, but how does the player perform as a disc player? Let's find out…
Just the Facts
In the waterfall of Sony Blu-ray players, the BDP-N460 is a step up from Sony's entry-level players. Aesthetically, it looks nearly identical to the BDP-S360, with a simple glossy black plastic facing that drops down to expose the disc tray. The only other buttons on the front are Play, Stop, Eject, and Power.
Dream Machine?
Sony's foray into the U.S. electronics market began more than 50 years ago when co-founder Akio Morita came to New York to sell a $30 miniature transistor radio. At the time, he attracted the interest of Bulova, a watchmaker with a vast retail network. Bulova offered to buy 100,000 units under one condition—Sony would have to original equipment manufacture (O.E.M.) the radios, and they would be branded and marketed under Bulova's name. Amazingly, Morita went against his board of directors' advice and turned down the deal. His 50-year goal was to make the Sony name as popular as Bulova's. Through the strength of his vision, Sony is now one of the most recognized brands in the world.
With a long history in optical disc technology, Pioneer has been slow to develop new and innovative features in its Blu-ray players. While its previous offerings have been on the upper end of the pricing range, the company's players have left a lot to be desired. Last fall, I reviewed the Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD player for our sister publication, UltimateAVMag.com. While I was very impressed by its sturdy build quality, it was unreliable, with lip-sync issues and player lockups. It also couldn't internally decode DTS-HD Master Audio. Granted, a firmware upgrade eventually fixed most of these issues, but the DTS-HD Master Audio upgrade didn't happen until early this summer—more than six months later than Pioneer promised. As a founding member of the Blu-ray Disc Association, you'd expect Pioneer's players to be among the most innovative on the market. Sadly, that hasn't been the case.
But that's all in the past. The Pioneer BDP-320 brings a lot to the table at half the cost of the Elite branded BDP-05FD. The BDP-320 is BD-Live compliant and has 1 gigabyte of internal memory. Memory is also expandable via the USB port on the back of the player. The back panel includes one HDMI 1.3a output with support for 48-bit Deep Color (not supported by either DVD or Blu-ray), an Ethernet port, component output, and 7.1 analog audio for consumers with legacy equipment that lacks HDMI inputs.

'Construct roads, get votes'
By Hemant Kumar Rout - BALASORE
Published: 17th September 2013 12:05 PM
Last Updated: 17th September 2013 12:05 PM
Civic amenities in Balasore town are in bad shape, be it roads, drains or even the sewerage system. The town has been almost rendered a veritable hell by the 132-year-old municipality's habitual neglect.
While roads are replete with potholes and craters, open drains, massive water-logging in many wards and mushrooming of unplanned and unauthorised structures have left the locals worried.
Even as bad condition of the city roads has been the main problem for the last one decade, besides the safe drinking water crisis and poor drainage system, the civic authorities have not laid underground sewer lines in many areas in the town. At many places, voters are greeting candidates with slogans "construct the road, get votes."
The locals alleged that the open drainage system has made several parts of the town prone to water-logging. Though the officials carry out minor repair works, the roads get damaged as the accumulated water on the roads takes days to recede.
A local, Santanu Das, said even moderate rainfall for about one hour at a stretch floods main roads along with the low-lying areas due to lack of proper water discharging outlets. "Besides, due to poor standard of repair works, the main roads and lanes are replete with potholes. Waste from the vats is also not cleared regularly. Garbage is not collected from the individual homes for dearth of labourers," he said.
Though the local defence authorities during a meeting with the District Collector in September last year had assured of constructing the road from Station Chhack to Chandipur after October 2012, no step has been taken yet. "They used to spend more than `30 lakh on repairing every year, which goes into waste after seasonal rains, but they never construct good quality road," Das claimed. Sources said of 487.110 km of roads in the town, over 250 km are replete with potholes.
The century-old municipality still depend on groundwater and there is no proper water supply system.

Once again it is time for a presidential election.
People tell me if I vote for one party, they will pick my pocket and give the money to the rich. If I vote for the other party, they will pick my pocket and give my money to the poor.
I figure if I am dumb enough to let someone pick my pocket, then I don't have a lot to say about what they do with that money.
I need to stop them from picking my pocket.
So, we need to issue in a new era of personal responsibility.
If you buy a house you cannot afford, don't expect me to pay for it. If you loaned money to someone you shouldn't have, don't expect me to pay for it. If you are an employer, pay your employees a decent wage and provide them with medical insurance, don't expect me to pay for it. If you were man enough to create a family, then be man enough to take care of them; don't expect me to pay for it. If you own a business and cannot run it profitably, don't expect me to subsidize it. If you are an illegal alien, you are a criminal and deserve neither my respect nor support.
A hospital is a business and a doctor is a businessman. You would not expect to walk on to a car lot and be given a car, or into a real estate office and expect to be given a house. Why would you expect to walk into a hospital and see a doctor?
The politicians will be telling us all the things they will give us. I am reminded of a sign in a doctor's office when I was growing up. It read, "The government can only give you that which it first takes from you." The only things the government needs to give us is congressional rules that allow only one issue to be presented on a congressional bill. No amendments! The government needs to give the president a line-item veto. The government needs to repay all the money stolen from Social Security, once the program is fully funded again, then people can have the option to withdraw the money they have invested and place it in personal retirement accounts.
Lobbyists need to be run out of Washington.
People need to get off their self-centered, apathetic posteriors and ask the political candidates why the oil from the Alaskan pipeline is shipped to the Mideast, where OPEC prices it and ships it back to the United States.
Tired of high gasoline prices? We are facing high food prices, food quality and food shortages, yet we still pay farmers not to grow crops. Why are we allowing this to go on? We live in an area where we are running out of water. Why are people still allowed to water grass twice a day? Why raise a crop that just gets thrown away?
Ethanol producers, take note.
When we were attacked on 9/11, the symbols of American wealth and military power were attacked. These terrorists know they cannot defeat us militarily, but they can collapse our financial system. Most people if they cannot buy food from the grocery store will starve. We need to issue in an era of personal responsibility, government accountability and community.
Ronald Reagan said government is not the solution - it is the problem.

Bad books sometimes happen to good authors. Despite compelling themes-the unpredictability of life, the ways we mask emotional trauma to produce happiness-Tomorrow failed to muster praise from even the most generous of critics.

Full Invasion 2 is a co-op module for Mount & Blade: Warband where you and your friends battle countless waves of invaders and bosses with the goal to survive as long as possible. Build defenses, dig in, and team up; it's going to be a long fight.
One of the best mods I've ever played.
It revives the old Full Invasion spirit but with more opportunities. There are a lot of really cool maps and equally good factions. Of course, one factions are easiers than others but thats not bad. Shall give a try if you want a good co-op game for low populated servers or for events in big servers.
Awesome mod and a great challenge.
Amazing mod!
OMFG love this mod have started up a group that does friendly events and all that cant wait for the mod to become big it will be heaps of fun oh and 1 thing if you could add the riflemen faction in extra invasion to this that would be fantastic
I'll always be the supporter of this extremely good mod!
kill all invaders!:-D
Personally having played Full Invasion since the first one, and many others to add onto that, none have have come as close to the original in playability, and in general fun as this one. I must say this is the best Full Invasion I've played since long, and I've spent many nights on this mod so far, and more to come! Great mod, all out perfect!
i love full invasion 2 it's one of the best mods for mount and blade warband !
you must play it !
greetings BöRiS
Just one Word, EPIC
The game is quite good, but really, really held down by the amount of hentai, fantasy and capriciousness. It really could use less 'humour'.

Sequel doesn't bother trying to be inventive — or interesting
When a movie's official website is called smurfhappens.com, it might be considered a fair warning about its quality. Actually, "The Smurfs 2" is not that bad, but it's definitely not going to rise to the top of the summer kids-movie heap.
In this sequel to 2011's "The Smurfs," opening in theaters Wednesday, Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) is questioning her identity and worrying she will turn back into the evil anti-Smurf she was created to be by the wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria). »Read Full Article(1)

Reviews for Buckhead Christian Ministry, Inc.
In addition to being a volunteer for over seven years, I am also a donor and Board member. About a year ago I assisted BCM with gathering client feedback in connection with establishing a new strategic plan. The feedback that was so often mentioned by clients was that the assistance provided by the staff and many volunteers at BCM was given with a joy and graciousness and respect for the individual that meant so much to each client. Put another way, the volunteers and staff at BCM were very genuine in the desire to serve their fellow man.

I feel strongly that BCM is a good steward of its funds and is devoted to helping others. That gives me a good feeling that working for money simply doesn't provide

Try to find reasonable cost ways to get their worthwhile activities spread to more potential donors and supporters
I have volunteered at BCM for 5 years and truly appreciate the opportunity to have a hands on way to help my neighbors in need. The community of volunteers and staff at BCM are passionate about bringing hope to all clients. Through food, financial assistance, clothing, housing, or direction to other resources, BCM lends a hand and heart to thousands of Atlantans in need. I could not imagine a more genuine place to spend my philanthropic time and money.

I have personally experienced the results of this organization in the faces of the clients which we help. The impact on a family if you help pay a utility bill or provide rent assistance, for example, is tremendous. I see the faces of these clients as we change their situations for the better and it is the reason I volunteer at BCM.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Expand the life skills and money management classes already offered to perhaps those not in a housing program. The classes are critical to stopping the cycle of poverty, so the more people we could train, the more we could help them change their future.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I haved worked cosely with the staff at BCM as a member of the board for over 3 years. I have also volunteered and worked with clients in the money management program. I have seen how BCM can really change lives, eaither through the simple gift of food or financial assistance or through a longer term transformation via continuing eductaion and transitionl housing. I think the staff genuinely care about the best interests of the clients and I think that donors funds are used prudently.

I used to be a client of Buckhead Christian Ministries and they helped me and my daughter by accepting us into the Transitional Housing Program. Since my time there I have progressed in life including becoming a volunteer for BCM. BCM is an extrodinary ministry making profound impact in the community by helping those in need and equipping them with the tools to survive every day life.

I would not make any changes. This ministry is doing very well.
I have had the privilege of volunteering for BCM for about 1.5 years. Our clients are hard working people of all faiths who have experienced a recent set back and need a temporary helping hand. Our clients are so grateful for even their smallest blessings. The food, clothing or financial assistance that we provide often makes a tremendous difference in their lives. Our clients are my heroes - people that work hard, have not had the same opportuntites that I have had and yet are appreciative while maintaining an incredibly positive attitude under very difficult circumstances. Last but not least, the staff at BCM also works extraordinarily hard and is always focused on doing everything possible within our guidelines to help our clients. BCM is an amazing ministry!

I personally experience the positive impact that BCM has in the lives of our clients every day that I am there. Just today, we helped a single mother of 3 small children who left an abusive husband and is struggling to work enough hours, find affordable day care while meeting all the fundamental needs of her children. She burst into tears when I told her that we could give her food and clothing today for her family.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Helen Cunningham, the executive director, her team and the board do an amazing job of serving so many in our community while always being mindful of how the dollars are being spent. In addition, there is a terrific volunteer team that are very committed to BCM. I would love to find ways to encourage even more people to volunteer.
I started volunteering for BCM in 1998 because my mother suggested it. I served on various committees until 2001 when I was able to start volunteering as an intake counselor and helpline attendant. I was so moved by the clients and impressed with BCM's management that I joined the staff in 2002. I have been working at BCM for almost 9 years now, and I am still amazed by what our clients can accomplish wth a little help from our generous partner churches, donors and volunteers. I love that BCM gives people a chance to learn and make a change in their life. I especially love that while we incorporate accountability and hard work into all of our programs, we also balance everything with mercy and compassion. I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful organization.

Expand The 70/30 Project to serve more families.

Im a pretty big PS3 fanboy but i stand by Halo being better than killzone. I mean did you play killzone 3? The gameplay is good but the story and plot is all over the place and annoyingly underdeveloped. There is a ton of backstory to that series that isnt even hinted at in the games.
Yeah I did play killzone 3 and it is magnitudes higher than any halo game past 2.
Well if you ignore the story and then just post BS then yeah I can see why you think that way.
Lol no. It's a third person shooter. Gears had better set pieces. Story is simple: find treasure, get betrayed. That's pretty much all of the uncharted games. First one didn't really include betrayal but 2 and 3 did. It's pretty much Indiana jones before crystal skull which... Isn't really saying much (I'm not saying Jones did it bad, I'm saying Jones did it better.)

Plus, if you can't do $60 you must be really cheap/poor. Just get Xbox Live cards.
$60 to use a service is abit steep, no matter what way you want to look at it. Not everyone has a spare $60 to throw around all the time

- FREE, FREE, FREE <-- Sure
- Better interface design, better online store <-- False, it's pretty much objectively wosre.
- Easier to manage account (try to cancel Live auto-renewal, good luck with that) <-- Outside for cancelling, they're pretty equal. Though I think it could be much better.
- PSN Regular account >>> Live silver account <-- I suppose this is true, since online gaming with Silver is very limited.
- PSN Plus >>> Live gold account <-- Hmm... I actually think this is true these days as well. Not at first, but there's a good amount of 'free' stuff and discounts on tons of good stuff as well. I suppose the free stuff falls awa when you stop subscribing, but it's still beter than XBL's offerings.
- Trophy is way better than achievement <-- False. It's worse. Games installing trophies every time you start it up. Trophies need to be synched manually if you don't have +. Takes long to load up than achievements as well if you want to see them.
- Better apps, better Netflix <-- I don't give a damn about apps, but doubt this is true. Probably equal.
- NO Advertisement, TONS of advertisement in Live <-- Get some f***ing glasses -__-
- NO Stupid Kinect **** <-- Which has nothing to do with Xbox Live. Aside from that, PS Move is almost just as bad.

Win a Cookbook
In our series, "Win a Cookbook," we give you a preview of a cookbook we love, then let you vote for the recipe you most want us to reveal. By voting, you enter to win a free copy of the cookbook. See official rules.
We have not stopped craving ice cream sundaes since we cracked the cover of this cookbook–and that was weeks ago. We almost feel guilty passing that craving on to you, which will inevitably happen when you get a look at the three dishes after the jump.
The author is the founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Jeni Bauer, who started making small-batch ice creams in 2002 in a tiny space in Columbus, Ohio. Her treats caught on because of their funky flavors (Cherry Lambic Sorbet, Toasted Rice Ice Cream, Lime Cardamom Frozen Yogurt); their local, seasonal ingredients; and their simple milk base–no eggs necessary. Now she has nine stores in Ohio, her tenth opens in Nashville this month, and this is her debut cookbook. The new Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home takes you through four seasons and a host of ice cream flavors, and it includes helpful step-by-step photo how-to's and notes on ingredients and equipment.
But it doesn't stop at ice cream. Bauer provides recipes for dessert condiments like fruit compotes and marshmallows, ice cream pies, push pops, and–drumroll, please!–sundaes. So we can all satisfy our cravings.
Now you decide, which recipe from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home should we reveal?
In the comments section, vote for the photo you like best from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home and you could win a free copy of the book! Just type in the name of your favorite photo below (for example, "Tuscan Sundae"), and you not only vote for which recipe we reveal, but you also automatically enter to win a copy of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Click here for full rules.
The contest ends at 11:59 PM July 1, 2011, when all entries/comments must be received. When we reveal the three cookbook winners, we will also reveal the winning recipe.
#1 Rhubarb Pie a la Mode Sundae (pie crust cookie, rhubarb compote, lime cardamom frozen yogurt, whipped cream)
#2 Chocomole Sundae ("Queen City Cayenne" ice cream, praline sauce, cinnamon sugar sprinkle coating, chocolate frito crunch, praline sauce, whipped cream)
#3 Tuscan Sundae (salty caramel ice cream, biscotti, brandied cherries, honey and vin santo sauce, whipped cream)

As the Midwest Regional Champion for the 32-year-old country music talent competition, Matthews (birth name Zach Molitor) was one of only five finalists, out of more than 50,000 contestants, who made it to Thursday's finals. He got to perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the famed Ryman Auditorium, with Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie McCoy in his band, at an event hosted by Showdown alum and Grammy winner LeAnn Rimes. »Read Full Article

Man accused of taking, forging checksMarch 27,2013BENNINGTON A South Street man was arraigned Monday after police said they believed he took checks from his landlady in Dorset and wrote checks for more than $1,200 in November.
Daniel K. Torres, 26, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court Monday to two felony counts of forgery, three misdemeanor counts of possession of stolen property and a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens. Torres was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Trooper Travis Hess, of the Vermont State Police, said he was assigned a case of possible fraud Nov. 26.
Hess said he spoke with a woman who said three of her checks had gone missing. She told him one had been cashed in Bennington for $450 and another for $800 was taken to the bank but the teller wouldnt cash it.
The woman said she learned from the person who had been given the $800 check that it had come from Torres to whom she rented an apartment in Dorset.
Hess said he spoke with the woman who cashed the $450 check. She said she had done it as a favor for Torres and gave him all the money. According to the woman, Torres told her the money was a refund from his security deposit and he said he didnt want to cash it himself because he owed money to the bank.
During the investigation, Hess said he learned Torres was in a drug and alcohol treatment program. On Feb. 27, the citation was given to Torres attorney, David Silver.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

A TOTAL of 20 fire engines and more than 100 firefighters battled a blaze which ripped through the historic Northfield Manor House on Wednesday night (July 31).
The fire at the property, which was once the home of the Cadbury family, was started deliberately.
The fire service received a 999 call about the incident at 8pm which was the second arson attack on the building in as many days.
With incident commanders using assertive plans and tactics, fire crews managed to confine the flames to the six-storey listed building and the 30metres by 20metres basement, preventing it spreading from the main house to the surrounding area. Another problem encountered by firefighters was the high unsupported chimneys which made the area hazardous.
Luckily, because the building was empty, no one was injured in the incident but the flames and smoke could be seen from miles around, as far afield as the Lickey Hills and Kings Heath.
The fire was also the talk of social networks with pictures and messages being posted on Twitter and Facebook – both by the emergency services involved in the battle and residents expressing their sadness at the devastation of such a beautiful building.
After extinguishing the blaze, around 30 firefighters remained at the manor house today (Thursday).
And, following the fight, the Chief Fire Officer praised crews and the partner organisations for their support at the scene, including West Midlands Police, West Midlands Ambulance Service, the Environment Agency, Birmingham City Council and utility companies.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "The fire is being treated as suspicious and enquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible.
"Forensic specialists will examine the property when the fire is fully extinguished and it is deemed safe."
Anyone with information is asked to call local police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.

Before they started any work on me the front desk came into the room and explained all the costs, and what the insurance would pay and what they wouldn't pay. This is probably the only office that I would ever trust to go to for my dental work
