THUMBS UP! CARS BACK ON THE LOT. It's good to see the old Enchantment car lot at Seventh and Mountain View being used again.
Lithia has opened up a late-model used car sales operation at that location, as well as a full service department, with hopes it can establish a new-car dealership there within the year. Here's hoping for great success.
New Mexico's economy is improving, a little, and the result is that the state budget is growing, a little, for the first time in years. But this is not the time to go on a big spending spree.
Early territorial New Mexico saw the beginning of a collision which continues to this day, between a centuries-old social and cultural order, and the new American way. It would explode in an epic struggle between two priests, starting with the first elections for New Mexico's territorial delegate to Congress.

Ex-director's Jeep found
ALBUQUERQUE — Sheriff's deputies in northwest Arizona found a Jeep belonging to a woman who once ran the Farmington, N.M., tourism department and is suspected of embezzling thousands of dollars.
KOB-TV reports the Mohave County, Ariz., Sheriff's Office found a woman's body nearby, but they do not know if it is Debbie Dusenbery.
A relative reported Dusenbery missing last weekend.

SANTA FE — A fight over whether to stop illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses in New Mexico is on hold temporarily while Democrats make a last-ditch effort to reach a compromise with Republican Gov. Susana Martinez who wants to scrap the license policy.
The House Judiciary Committee decided not to take a final vote on the issue late Wednesday night after spending more than four hours debating the politically charged issue.

ALBUQUERQUE — Figuring out how to pack a processor and other electronics into a machine gun bullet has been a challenge for engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, so weapons experts say the miniature guidance system the lab has developed is a breakthrough.
Three years in the making, the bullet prototype represents another step toward a next-generation battlefield that scientists and experts expect to be saturated with technology and information.
A new season — District 2-3A — has begun for local high school basketball teams, and as of Wednesday night, Robertson and West Las Vegas are both undefeated in girls' hoops, at least within the district schedule.
That will change Friday night, however, as the Lady Cardinals host their crosstown rivals at Mike Marr Gym.

I bought this in the unwrinkle kit and this was one of the better products in the kit.
The pads have a ton of solution on them, so they don't dry out and I can use this all over my face, neck and decolletage. It tingles just a bit, like tiny bubbles are popping all over me. I used these in the morning before my shower, so I could wash the excess off my face.
I think my skin felt smoother and looked brighter after using these. I don't know what it does for wrinkles since I only had 20 to use, so I will probably purchase the full size jar to see how well they work for my emerging fine lines.

I purchased the small tub of 20 Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads quite a while ago. I stopped using them after initially trying them and didn't have a very favorable opinion of them. After recently trying them again- who knew they wouldn't be dried out after all that time in the container?!- I have changed my tune. I suspect that these didn't have much of an effect at first because I was on top of my physical and chemical exfoliation. But I rarely have the time and desire to do much at night these days, so even my Clarisonic sits unused. I was impressed by how much my skin texture changed for the better after just a few uses of the Un-wrinkle Peel Pads. If you don't have a decent exfoliating step in your current regimen and you don't mind an emollient peel (perhaps the less than luxurious corn oil is to blame), this is one to consider. I do agree with cutting the pads in half to make the tub more price effective. I also agree that this doesn't need to be washed off unless you're suffering from irritation. I think I like the less emollient Dr Dennis Gross Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peel better, but I might return to the Un-wrinkle Peel Pads if wintertime turns cold and dry.

I really liked these at first. I didn't notice any dramatic results or anything but they seemed like they were doing what they claim. However, after just a few days of using them once or twice a day, I started breaking out. Back they go.

I am totally impressed with this product. I've been fighting with hormonal acne that comes with perimenopause and my skin has been, for want of a better phrase, freaking out. Not only do I have wrinkles, I have zits, and I have discoloration on my lower cheeks. These pads help me battle all three problems, and with use of only 4 of the 20 pads in the jar, I have already seen a *marked* improvement in my skin tone, texture, and eruptions. These are pricey little buggers, but they deliver on the things they promise. I highly recommend them.

Out of all the Roth products I have bought thus far, this was the only one which impressed me. I have replaced my at-home peel with this product because it works better. It really does resurface your skin and improve your skin tone. All those blackheads that are trapped under the thin top layer of your skin will be exposed for you to remove as you see fit - strips, mask, tool, etc.

I actually really like these pads - a lot! And that's surprising, because for years I was only happy with really hardcore treatments, such as at home 50% Lactic peels and in office lunchtime peels and microderm treatments. Back in my pre Retin-A days, I may have scuffed at the power of these, or lack thereof, in comparison to deeper peels. However, these are really excellent and powerful peeling pads for those who for whatever reason can't handle harsher treatments.
This is a powerhouse product IMO. I love the mixture of Alpha's and Acids at play here. I love that there's no alcohol, lots of wonderful exfoliating ingredients, yet also has moisturizing properties. These will definitely exfoliate well, penetrate nicely, and allow other serums and the like to work much better. In short, anything you use after this product will absorb way better than had you not used these. Whether one is used to deeper treatments or lighter ones, everyone who tries these will notice a major difference in their skin. These leave skin really smooth and beautifully exfoliated (I know, I know - I have said that 99 million times already!). I also love that these are suitable for all skin types; it's really just about not over using them or leaving it on too long (if you have dry skin), and figuring out when these work best for you (i.e. night or day). Also these are an amazing deal for the dollar IMO. I mean, 60 pads for $45 bux? That's pretty good, although caveat this is coming from moi, the chick who pays out of the @ss in my quest for the fountain of youth in a bottle. BUT, putting that superficial little factoid to the side for now, a little less than $25 each month for 2 months of product that will really benefit the skin is a darn good deal. You can break it down even further too considering these are big pads; if you cut them in half you still get the same benefits without waste and double your product. We can take it a step further even bc its doubtful that one will be using these daily, more like 2-3 times per wk, so that def makes it more wallet friendly :-)
Do these un-wrinkle? Meh, I dunno, I don't have wrinkles yet. But they work so well to wipe away dead skin I am thinking anyone with wrinkles will notice a major difference in their skin. As I said, anyone who uses these is going to see a marked change. I highly recommend these!

I was planning on writing my review after finishing the container but I love these so much I didn't want to wait. I'm 31 with tan (Indian) skin and not much in the way of wrinkles. So I'm looking more towards prevention and correcting discolouration rather than trying to fix existing wrinkles.
- I use these 3 days a week (M-W-F) and will likely increase this over time.
- I cut the pads in half and it's more than enough to do my entire face and the top of my neck.
- Light stinging but nothing too uncomfortable
- Follow with Embroylisse (serum/trilogy oil on non use days)
- Immediate results in the way of glowing fresh skin
- Slow improvement on discolouration (expected)
I use this as part of a dedicated routine that involves cleansing my face with a muslin cloth with either Aveeno foaming cleanser and/or Clinique balm. My skin has never looked better and I'm currently able to wear just concealer and not have to use foundation which I'm really pleased with. I've given a set of cheaper glycolic pads (Nip Fab) to my husband to use, but once he finishes them I'm switching him to this as though it is more expensive I really feel as though it's worth it.

Ok, these are AMAZING! I love the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta peel pads, but the price tag keeps me from buying them regularly. The Unwrinkle pads aren't cheap, but certainly less expensive. I think they actually work better than the Alpha Beta pads. I don't neutralize them with water like the package says. I leave in on it's own for about 5 mins, then go straight in with whatever serum I'm using that night. Love! They're helping to reduce some pigmentation spots and they are really smoothing out some areas of texture. Great product.

This product just does not work.
I cut them in half to extend life of product and give better trial time of product.
I wore it overnight.
There was *literally no difference* in my skin after 120 days of faithful, daily use.
Did not change my acne cropping up.
Did not lighten or decrease my acne scars.
Would not buy again or recommend.

This product is truly amazing!!! My skin has never been so good since my 20's. I use it every other night, i have combo skin but if you have oily i think you can use it every day, twice a day i am not sure though... I leave it on for about 10 min a bit more than the recommendation and its perfectly fine. My pores are smaller, they don't clog, i stopped having whiteheads (which was my main problem), my pigmentation on my cheeks are less visible (i tried lazer before did nothing!). You have it use it for about a month before you see the effects, especially on pigmentation... For the pores you start to notice the difference after a week. I can't say much about its effects on wrinkles because i dont have any visible ones, but overall this is the most "magical" thing i have used on my skin up to now. I even stopped using foundation because my skin looks pretty good without anything, just a bit of blush and that's it. I just love it, strongly recommended.

salt and vinegar chips - truly an acquired taste. but once you know it, it's hard to resist the urge! glad I found these affordable chips online!
Pretty good.
Posted by Reviewer1690737 on Jan 11, 2014
These chips are an addiction of mice. Very crunchy but very acidic if you eat the whole bag like I tend to.
Not bad

Not my favourite salt and vinegar, the flavour is a little too tangy for me. But still, a good brand and good sharing bag!

Erie police continue probes of 2 fatal pedestrian accidents
Millcreek Township police wrapped up a nearly yearlong investigation into a fatal pedestrian accident along Route 8 on Tuesday when they filed two traffic citations against the Greene Township driver accused of hitting a North East man.
Erie police traffic investigators, meanwhile, continue to collect evidence, and to appeal for help from the public, in a pair of pedestrian accidents in the city earlier this year that led to the deaths of two people.
Eileen M. Zatynski, 64, of Gunnison Road in Greene Township, faces fines and costs totaling $671.50 after she was cited by Millcreek police for driving on roadways laned for traffic and careless driving-unintentional death. The citations, which are not criminal charges, were filed in Greene Township District Judge Susan Strohmeyer's court on Tuesday.
Police accused Zatynski of drifting off Route 8 in the 6100 block and hitting Brian W. Trimble, 44, as Trimble walked along the east berm on the morning of July 18. Trimble died of injuries in the accident.
The citations followed a lengthy investigation by Millcreek police and the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
The circumstances in the case were "a little more unique" compared with other cases, Assistant District Attorney Lisa Ferrick said Tuesday. Investigators did additional research to determine whether or not Zatynski could have been considered impaired because she had showed some signs at the accident scene of possibly being under the influence, and blood testing showed that she had a Schedule IV controlled substance in her blood.
Schedule IV drugs are defined as those with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Examples include Xanax, Valium and Ambien, according to information on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's website.
Investigators determined that the substance in Zatynski's blood was not sufficient enough to justify the filing of driving under the influence or more serious charges, Ferrick said.
She said another unique circumstance was that there were no lines on the roadway where the accident occurred, because Route 8 was in the process of being resurfaced.
There were witnesses who saw parts of the accident but no one witnessed the entire accident, and there was some video obtained but it did not show the accident, Ferrick said.
Two fatal pedestrian accidents in Erie that remain unresolved happened in February and May.
Emery Black, 51, was walking in a westerly direction across Liberty Street toward his apartment building in the 1500 block on the evening of Feb. 21 when he was hit by a southbound vehicle that did not stop, police said. Black later died at UPMC Hamot.
Investigators have collected little information from witnesses.
They have attempted to identify the vehicle through blurry images captured by a surveillance camera in the area, and believe it was possibly a red or maroon sedan that would have damage to its passenger side.
No new information has come in on the case, Erie police accident investigator Cpl. Anthony Letkiewicz said Tuesday.
Letkiewicz said he is also continuing to collect evidence in an accident in the 600 block of West 26th Street on the evening of May 11 in which a westbound Buick hit pedestrians Laura Luce, 66, and John Otteni, 67, as they crossed the street heading north toward the Knights of St. John.
Luce, of Erie, was pronounced dead at UPMC Hamot. Otteni was treated at the hospital for serious injuries, Letkiewicz said.
The 32-year-old male driver of the Buick, whom Erie police have not identified, stayed at the scene after the accident. He was taken into custody for blood testing.
Letkiewicz said he is also working on a reconstruction report in the accident. Once all of the information is collected, the case will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for review, he said.
Four other older accidents that led to the deaths of pedestrians in Erie remain unsolved. They occurred:
- On May 13, 2012, when David A. Hamilton, 51, of Millcreek, was killed while he and a woman walked north across West 38th Street near Raspberry Street.
- On Jan. 14, 2010, when Hector Rios Rivera, 36, of Erie, was hit by a vehicle while walking north along Broad Street near the Perry Plaza.
- On April 2, 2004, when Kathleen Blawn, 59, of Erie, was killed while she and her son walked across Peach Street in the 4200 block.
- On March 2, 2002, when Asa Jones Jr., 47, of Erie, was struck by a vehicle in the 2000 block of Buffalo Road.
Anyone who may have information in the Feb. 21 or May 11 accidents is asked to call Letkiewicz at 870-1171.

Now that the UK government is beginning the procurement of a national identity card system, financial services organisations will undoubtedly have begun to plan for its introduction. It seems rather obvious that some form of national identity management system might be useful to the sector: who wouldn't want to be able to open a bank account by popping their ID card into a machine instead of taking photocopies of their gas bill into a bank branch? More radically, who wouldn't want to be able to take out a loan from the comfort of their armchair by putting their ID card into a PC?

After several days with temperatures above freezing, including a high in the 40s on Saturday, the frigid front was expected to come in with gusting northwest winds and a sudden drop in temperatures. »Read Full Article(6)
Mequon's 'town center' proposal fits area's urban trend
Mequon - At first glance, the northwest corner of Mequon and Cedarburg roads doesn't look particularly urban.
Traffic roars past on a divided highway, and just across that road there's a strip shopping center. A sidewalk running north from the corner dead ends before it reaches nearby Mequon City Hall. »Read Full Article(21)
Farmer, inspectors lock horns over meat processing regulations
Arlin Bender said his troubles with state meat inspectors began when he placed a small ad in a country newspaper for his services as a "butcher, baker and bologna maker."
The Clark County farmer was trained as a butcher in the Mennonite religious community that's known for its livestock slaughtering and meat-handling skills. »Read Full Article(17)

Market value can be approximated by looking at the comps--the comparable sales. Your agent should provide you with a CMA, showing recent sales. She may have done this, though you only say that she's "told us this is a fair price." She's got to do more than that. Get a CMA.
There's nothing inherently wrong in the owner making a $40,000 profit over his 2003 purchase. However, prices in many areas of Virginia are back down to 2002-2003 levels. So, if the owner paid fair market value in 2003, it's unlikely it's appreciated 50% since then. That's also why you need the CMA. (On the other hand, the owner may have gotten a terrific bargain back in 2003. It's impossible to say.)
What you do say, to your agent, is: "We'd like a CMA on the property." Then you'll have a place to begin.
Hope that helps.

Astronomers Elected to American Academy of Arts & Sciences
Some of the world's most accomplished leaders from academia, business, public affairs, the humanities, and the arts have been elected members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among the 2014 class of inductees are two AAS members:
- Neta Assaf Bahcall, Eugene Higgins Professor of Astrophysics, Princeton University
- Fiona Anne Harrison, Benjamin M. Rosen Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California Institute of Technology
Dr. Bahcall is renowned for her studies of structure formation in the universe. She is a former AAS Vice President and established the AAS John N. Bahcall Public Policy Fellowship in memory of her late husband, a former AAS President. Dr. Harrison is principal investigator for NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), currently in orbit capturing images of the cosmos in high-energy X-rays.
Former AAS member Wayne Hu, Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, was also elected to the Academy, as was nonmember Inez Fung, Professor of Atmospheric Science in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
One of the nation's most prestigious honorary societies, the Academy is also a leading center for independent policy research. Members contribute to Academy publications and studies of science and technology policy, energy and global security, social policy and American institutions, and the humanities, arts, and education.
"It is a privilege to honor these men and women for their extraordinary individual accomplishments," said Don Randel, Chair of the Academy's Board of Directors. "The knowledge and expertise of our members give the Academy a unique capacity — and responsibility — to provide practical policy solutions to the pressing challenges of the day. We look forward to engaging our new members in this work."
The new class will be inducted at a ceremony on 11 October 2014 at the Academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Since its founding in 1780, the Academy has elected leading "thinkers and doers" from each generation, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 19th, and Margaret Meade and Martin Luther King Jr. in the 20th. The current membership includes more than 250 Nobel laureates and more than 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.

First Details on Asteroids Movie 'Plot'
Producer Lornezo di Bonaventura does his best to explain the inexplicable.
How do you craft a story out of Asteroids, a game that was literally about a triangle shooting circles against a black background that stood for outer space? Simple: You make one up out of thin air. Speaking with Lornezo di Bonaventura, who will serve as producer on the Asteroids film, IGN managed to get a few details on how exactly they'll stretch the simple game to feature length.
"It's funny because people say there's nothing in the game, but that's not entirely right," Bonaventura said. "I was attracted to Asteroids, plain and simple, because I think what it tells you is that there's going to be this big thing in space. We've crafted a really strong, deep mythology for the thing. Without divulging too much about it, it's two lead characters -- two brothers -- who have to go through a seminal experience to figure out their relationship, against this huge backdrop."
So there's a thing, and it's in space, and it's maybe up to two brothers to defeat it/destroy it... or something. And how will they go about defeating it/destroying it? Take a wild guess: "Well you'd better have some guys in spaceships blowing stuff up," Bonaventura said, "or else you haven't honored the fun of Asteroids."
This poses an intriguing question. Usually when a studio is adapting a popular IP into a film, they go to great lengths to assure fans that they're "honoring" the source material and "doing it justice." But when it comes to Asteroids... do such diehard fans even exist? (We imagine a fuming attendee at Comic-Con 2010, spitting vitriol at the Asteroids panel for the decision to change the space ship from an isosceles triangle to an equilateral triangle.)

This sounds as bad as the Wing Commander movie from back in the late 90s. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say originality in Hollywood is not only dead, but its grave has been robbed as well.
whyPosted: Jul 27, 2009 12:00AM PST by Doomer_Porn
Why even tie this movie to the Asteroids game? I mean...talk about reaching. Then again, It would be killer if they were to repeatedly cut to actual in-game footage during asteroid battles in the film. You know, like 'House of the Dead' did. Not tacky at all - awesome.

It baffles me how these people manage to be in posession of so much moneyPosted: Jul 26, 2009 12:00AM PST by KillahMate
I mean, logic states that at their levels of denseness they should be incapable of earning or maintaining any fortune above pocket change. And here they are bankrolling a major motion picture. Amazing.
But you know what? Whatever. In a world in which Ridley Scott is adapting Monopoly, nothing surprises me anymore. I'm not at all hurt by this movie, and when it comes out it won't rape my childhood. I simply don't care, above the level of light amusement anyway. I'm just sad because of other, more interesting films that could have been made with this money.
Awesome!Posted: Jul 26, 2009 12:00AM PST by Spacejunk
I hope they don't change any of the plot characters or leave out any important story elements. I was a HUGE fan of the game. Most movies don't do the games justice. They should get Colin Farrel and Drew Barrymore to play the brothers.

That same angry fan also ran straight home and began an Online Boycott of the game, stating "The Producers are causing irreversible damage to our Beloved Franchise, most notably, in their decision to change the "Bleeps" of the original versions Epic Sound Effects, to "Bloops". We can not stand for this Obvious attempt to destroy this Classic Franchise!!!!!"

With less than two weeks before Election Day, campaigns are on high alert for an "October Surprise," where a calculated political maneuver designed to create news coverage influences the outcome of an election.
While Tony Stewart didn't run for office last year, the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing delivered an October Surprise of his own.
In last year's TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Stewart rallied from an unscheduled pit stop that left him 20th with less than 85 laps remaining to take the lead from five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson on a restart with three laps to go. Stewart won, and in doing so, climbed to second in the championship point standings, eight behind then leader Carl Edwards, prompting Stewart to say to a live network TV audience, "Carl Edwards had better be really worried. That's all I've got to say. He's not going to have an easy three weeks." Stewart went on to win the championship three races later in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The rhetorical roundhouses and blitzkrieg of bravado that accompanies modern-day politics ensures that candidates use every tool in their toolbox to emerge victorious once all the ballots are counted. Stewart did just that at Martinsville, outfoxing his foes on the racetrack and then delivering a discourse that made everyone take notice. And when all the points were tallied after Homestead, it was Stewart on top for the third time in his career.
Stewart's October Surprise served notice to all that he was determined a grab a third Sprint Cup trophy to place alongside the ones he earned in 2002 and 2005. And his win at Martinsville was indeed a surprise, for in Stewart's three previous starts at the .526-mile oval, he finished 26th, 24th and 34th. And while Stewart struggled at the paperclip-shaped bullring, two drivers dominated – Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin. Prior to last year's TUMS Fast Relief 500, Johnson and Hamlin combined to win nine of the previous 10 races, with Johnson securing five of those wins and Hamlin grabbing the other four.
Since winning at Martinsville in April 2006, Stewart was resigned to being a spectator as Johnson and Hamlin turned Martinsville into their personal playground. That is until last October, where Stewart set in motion his epic championship charge.
While Stewart enters this year's TUMS Fast Relief 500 in a less powerful position – seventh in points, 47 behind leader Brad Keselowski – he is still powerful at Martinsville. In addition to being the race's defending winner, his Stewart-Haas Racing team owns the last two wins at Martinsville, as teammate Ryan Newman won in the series' most recent trip there in April while Stewart finished a solid seventh.
There is a new championship battle in 2012, with conventional wisdom saying that Stewart and anyone else outside the top-five in points are out of title contention. But conventional wisdom, like political polls, is subject to change, and all it takes is an October Surprise.

To understand Sarah Palin, it is essential to understand her faith.
She stepped onto the world stage as the Republican vice-presidential nominee in the election of 2008. She was pretty, fierce in her conservatism, and undaunted by the slings and arrows of national politics. And there was something else as well: a moral force that seemed to shape her life.
As the world grew to know Sarah Palin, it began to understand the nature of this force: a deep, lifelong Christian faith. This faith was the lens through which she viewed the world, the bedrock of her politics, and even a primary influence upon her personality.
In The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin, Stephen Mansfield and David Holland capture the moving story of Palin's faith. Given extensive access to Palin's pastors, advisors, friends, and family, they present the truth about Sarah Palin, the faith that defines her, and the meaning of that faith for American politics and culture.

Huawei , the largest telecoms equipment vendor with a rapidly expanding presence in the handset market, announced it plans to double its European workforce and will invest to create a research and development (R&D) facility in Finland. The new R&D facility will focus on developing and optimising user interfaces (UIs) for both Google 's Android operating system and Windows Phone 8. BMI believes Huawei's investment has strategic value by capitalising on agglomeration of developers and smaller tech firms around Nokia 's headquarters - giving it access to a pool of human capital to raise its technological capacity. We believe the move is symbolic of the threat Huawei poses to Nokia and other handset vendors as it continues its expansion in the smartphone market.
|Volume Dictates European Expansion
|Annual Western Europe Smartphone Shipments ('000 units)
Huawei has been expanding into the smartphone market as it diversifies from its roots as a vendor of telecoms infrastructure. It has already achieved considerable success with its line of devices both in its home market in China and in low- to- middle-income markets with mid-range and value devices utilising the Android OS. For instance, Huawei reportedly captured 45% market share of the Kenyan smartphone market in 2011 with its sub - US$100 Ideos X1 phone. However, it is also targeting the higher end of the market with quad-core devices that are viable substitutes for the flagship devices launched by smartphone market leaders such as Apple , Samsung , HTC , Nokia , Sony and Motorola .
BMI believes that investment in an R&D centre in Finland will increase Huawei's technological capabilities in a cost - effective manner, boosting its competitiveness at the high end of the smartphone market. Huawei plans to invest EUR70mn over five years to establish its R&D centre in Helsinki, hiring 30 staff initially, with plans to hire 70 further staff over five years. Over the same period , it plans to double its total European headcount to 14,000 across its 11 R&D centres . The announcement also reveals that Huawei is diversifying its smartphone products into a new ecosystem, Microsoft 's Windows Phone, although it is yet to launch a device .
The decision to locate in Helsinki, just 15 miles from Nokia's headquarters in Espoo, will allow Huawei to take advantage of the agglomeration of developers, engineers and other telecoms specialists around the Fi n nish giant. With Nokia's troubles in recent years , there is an underemployment of this local human capital - enabling Huawei to cost - effectively tap into resources for the development of UIs for high-end smartphone devices. Given the recent experience of the likes of Nokia and Research In Motion , we consider Huawei's cost - efficient upgrade in te chnological capacity positively - where firms can often lose sight of such concerns in a high - growth phase.
BMI believes this investment, along with its wider European investments , will help it to gain market share in the device market. Huawei already has a reputation for good - value , high - quality handsets, which we expect to improve over the coming years as it invests in improving the user experience, branding and relationships with local operators and developers. This will enable it to expand its share of the Western European smartphone market, for which shipments are forecast to continue increasing through to 2017 , with volumes similar to Asia and North America. The combination of investing in R&D for the high - end market, local position to support developer and operator relationships and ecosystem diversification - adding to its traditional cost advantages - pose s a serious challenge to existing vendors, BMI believes. Nokia is most likely to feel the chill as it continues to struggle and now faces increased competition in the Windows Phone ecosystem , on which it has staked its future .

Rellenos De Papa (Stuffed Mashed Potatoes)
Total Time
Prep 35 mins
Cook 15 mins
I found this one at a Puerto Rican website (El Boricua.com) when I was not able to get a hold of GMa to tell me how to make them. :) It makes the process way much simple than the traditional. Yummy yummy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups water
- 7 tablespoons margarine
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cups instant potato flakes
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (for dusting rellenos)
- 1 lb prepared ground beef or 1 lb pork, seasoned with
- sofrito sauce
- oil (for frying)
- Bring water to a boil and remove from heat.
- Add margarine, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and milk. Stir until the margarine is melted.
- Add the potato flakes. The mixture should be pretty thick and dry.
- Add a slightly beaten egg and mix well.
- Let the potatoes sit to cool down.
- Divide potato mixture into 6 balls.
- Sprinkle corn starch on one hand and carefully spread one of the potato balls on your hand pushing down in the middle.
- Place a tablespoon of prepared picadillo in the middle carefully folding the sides over the meat until it is completely sealed.
- Roll the stuffed balls in corn starch - this will help keep the mixture together during frying.
- Fry over medium-high heat until golden.
- Note: all purpose flour can be used instead of cornstarch.
Most Helpful
These are good! We used leftover mashed potatoes rather than potato flakes, and that worked well for us. We stuffed them with picadillo, and that was super yummy. These are definitely best the day you make them; the day after they somehow seem a lot greasier.
No way..No way!! This is not the way we make "Rellenos de Papas". Using instant potato flakes is not the way to do it. We instead use real potatoes, and we never use cornstarch on this recipe. Just put them in the fridge until firm, then dip them in the eggs, and then fry them in oil.
I simply love making this, it taste great and all members of your family would love it as well, great as a snack throughout the day.

grad school
anyone know of any good places to go to grad school for engineering that's near some mountains? it's about time for me to start lookin
any level of difficulty, i've got a pretty good resume:thumbsup:
i know great places for grad school in engineering. and great places in the mountains...but not both in the same place.
yeah thats the problem im having. it doesn't have to be that close to the mountains. im in ohio now, so mountains are nowhere near. i just need to get to a more interesting location, dayton is about as bland as it gets.
what about online? there are plenty of places where you can do your MBA online but not sure about engineering. i'm sure thats a little tougher to find. but then you could live anywhere.
what kind of engineering?
UC-Boulder is ranked in the top 50 engineering colleges.
Graduate Program | Department of Mechanical Engineering | University of Colorado at Boulder
mechanical engineering, i will look into uc-boulder, thanks:thumbsup:

Turn Berenger, Billy Zane
Somewhere in all these shadows, plot confusions and dizzyingly chaotic sequences lurks an adrenaline-pumping, invigorating and diverting action film about two American marksmen assigned to kill Colombian drug traffickers trying to infiltrate Panamanian politics.
Director Luis Llosa captures the confusion and terror of jungle combat. He captures it so well, in fact, that it's often hard to tell what is happening.
The movie's subtext involves the conflict between the two Americans, Berenger, a Marine sharpshooter who has killed 74 people, and Zane, a National Security Council operative whose main credential is an Olympic medal in riflery. Berenger, of course, scoffs at Zane's lack of jungle-fighting experience, not to mention his insufficiently bloodthirsty approach to killing people.
The villains are seen mostly through Berenger's and Zane's telescopic sights and the mini-telescopes they use to help see their targets. Michael Frost Beckner's screenplay also keeps tossing in inexplicable sub-skirmishes; at one point, Berenger and Zane seem to be stalking each other rather than the bad guys.
Zane's frail, yuppie look keeps him from ever mustering much authority as an assassin (as killing machines go, he is more cappuccino maker than meat grinder).
Berenger is another story. If Harrison Ford is today's John Wayne, Berenger is our Gary Cooper. His athleticism and grim, intense aura of integrity make him easy to root for in this kind of running battle. It would help, though, if the movie made it clearer who was trying to do what to whom, and why. (R)
