But the recovery can still recover. Here's how we got in this mess -- and how we might yet get out.
The economic panic attack just went global.
Stocks are collapsing across the world from London to New York to Tokyo. The Dow plunged 300 513 points* and the S&P fell even farther, as U.S. markets suffered the worst nine-day slump since March 2009. Meanwhile two-year Treasuries hit a record low. Central banks are intervening in Japan and Europe. Everything seems to be falling apart at once. Why? And can the U.S. avoid slipping back into recession?
Before we continue hyperventilating, let's review how we got here.
A Month of Awful News
June was a very weak month for the U.S. economy, and our data from July so far isn't looking good. Some quick highlights:
Hiring was nearly stagnant in May and June.
Real consumer spending fell from April through June.
Small business optimism has been falling four months running.
Home sales continue to struggle.
The manufacturing sector is flirting with contraction.
U.S. growth was less than 1% in the first half.
These would all be very bad signs in a healthy economy. In a weak recovery -- a time when business activity should be above average -- they're even worse. Although we appeared to climbing out of the abyss in early 2011, it no longer looks like we're even treading water. In fact, we may be drowning again.
What Went Wrong?
As we flipped the calender to 2011, the first half of the year was plagued by a number of unfortunate events. Instability in the Middle East put pressure on oil prices. A severe earthquake in Japan rattled the markets. Increasing global commodity prices reduced Americans' purchasing power and killed their confidence. Fiscal tightening by the state and local governments has also created a headwind for hiring. More recently, the U.S. appeared to be on the verge of default or downgrade, thanks to self-induced crisis. Separately, renewed concerns arose about Eurozone fiscal problems.
What happened when negative economic shocks hit and perceived risk grew? Consumers and businesses became nervous and began to spend and invest less. All of those ugly economic reports we saw over the past few months were the result.
Is Another Recession Inevitable?
At this point, we can't see many bright spots to point to. If the U.S. economy remains on the downward slope that it's been on since April, then a double dip will be hard to avoid. Will it find a different path back to a firmer recovery?
Optimists will note that some of the problems above were temporary. The Middle East has become more stable. Japan is recovering from its devastating quake. Energy prices have begun to decline. The U.S. debt debacle appears to be over. If consumers and businesses see that most of the issues we were experiencing since last spring are no longer a threat, then spending and investment could return.
And they had better. The government isn't going to provide any boost to the economy. Instead, federal, state and local governments are now on an austerity regimen, which will make a recovery even more difficult. The Federal Reserve might decide to help, but unless either the economy worsens in a more dramatic fashion or deflation concerns resurface, it may have a tough time justifying additional stimulus.
So if consumers and businesses manage to regain their confidence, then the U.S. may avoid a double dip. But if sentiment falls farther over the next several months, we might have to close the book on this recovery.
*When this article was first posted, the Dow was only down 300, which looked pretty bad until it closed down 513, or 4.3%.

Toddlers 19 months – 2 years: Reading
No matter what the age, reading to your child is the single most important activity that you can do to help your child get ready to read. It introduces children to "rarer" words that they may not hear in everyday conversation. Shared reading develops a love of reading and an appreciation of books. Children who enjoy being read to are more likely to want to learn to read.
Read books.
- Read to your toddler every day.
Make a list.
- Let your child help you with the grocery list. As your child names items that are needed, have them watch you write them down. Also point out the letters on the food labels.
Read Symbols.
- "Read" symbols, aloud, on signs (stop signs, library, etc).
Let them play on the fridge.
- Provide magnetic alphabet letters for the fridge.
- Point to the words as you read to toddlers, so that they will begin to understand that you are reading the words, not the pictures.
Learn more
Parents and caregivers, here are some books on reading for toddlers.

Scotland Yard's Operation Fairbank is 'investigating allegations senior politicians abused children in the 1980s and used "connections" to escape justice.'
Operation Fairbank has been set up to investigate evidence presented by MP Tom Watson about a paedophile ring connected to 10 Downing Street during the administration of 'a former prime minister'.
This is not to be confused with Operation Yewtree, the police 'investigation' into the allegations against paedophile and child procurer Jimmy Savile which has so far questioned no political or royal figures despite the long and incredibly close associations between Savile and the royal family and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
'Scotland Yard detectives are looking into allegations that senior politicians abused children in the 1980s and escaped justice because they were protected by their powerful connections.
During past weeks officers from the Metropolitan Police's child abuse investigation team have interviewed several adults who claim that they were sexually assaulted as children by MPs in a paedophile ring.
The team was set up following claims by Labour MP Tom Watson in the House of Commons that the police should look afresh at claims of a "powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No 10".'

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very pleased with my stay in Merce and Victoria's place. The location is perfect for all the main tourist attractions that the city has to offer, the street is buzzing during the day but quiet at night which allows you to sleep well.
The flat is a.stylish and I found it very clean (bed sheets, towels and kitchen tools) all the basics for cooking included.
Victoria was very attentive to all the needs and provided helpful information on places to go such as restaurants, bars, etc.
Overall experience was great and I would recommend the place to anyone going to Mallorca.
Perfect apartment for our long weekend stay in Palma. The terrace was an amazing space to eat breakfast, have drinks, and sunbathe. It's really central in the old town, but very quiet at night as it's on a street of shops. Beds were comfortable, shower was powerful, and the kitchen was well equipped, and the whole apartment was really clean and spacious.
Merce and Victoria were lovely hosts and gave us tips about local beaches and restaurants. We would certainly recommend this apartment.
A Lovely apartement. Fantastic! A historic feeling in the heart of Palma.
Close to the mercado at placa olivar, so we did all the shopping there and cooked in the kitchen. When we eat supper we had the pulse outside on placa Mayor.
Nice beds and no disturbance from the Square or the street.
Busses where easy to get from Plaza espana or la rambla. Nr 25 to playa Palma in 15 min.
Mercé and Victoria are helpfull and gave nice advice of things to do.
We really recommend this!!!!!!!
It was a very nice holiday in Palma and we liked the flat very much, aswell as your kindness.
See you again!
The meeting point was easy to find and Victoria gave us a warm welcome (thank you again for the water, Victoria!). The flat is perfect located for all shopping addicts and also for people who like to explore Palma by night. The flat is equipped with everything you need, but because of hundreds of bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood we only used the kitchen for a coffee in the morning. We stayed in the apartment in June (hot) so we had the windows open at night. For this reason we couldn't sleep as good as home, as we heared all people while walking through this narrow street at night (the two single beds are comfortable).
Magnificent apartment in which you feel at home from you cross the door. Plenty of light and plenty of space. Improving the pictures you see on the web. As for the owners, wonderful hosts for his island. 100% recommendable. Back!
Magnífico apartamento en el que te sientes como en casa desde que cruzas la puerta. Muchísima luz y mucho espacio. Mejora las fotos que se ven en la web. En cuanto a las propietarias, maravillosas anfitrionas de su isla. 100% recomendable. Volveremos!
A centrally located apartment in the old town of Palma - location could not have been better. Fresh and spacious with everything we needed for a week's stay. The best was the lovely terrace where we spent a lot of the time when we were not on excursions. Last but not least, our host as we quickly got a good contact with and that helped us in every way.
Overall experience gets the highest rating and highly recommended!
En centralt belägen lägenhet i Gamla stan i Palma - läget kunde inte varit bättre. Fräsch och rymlig med allt vi behövde för en veckas vistelse. Bäst var den härliga terassen där vi tillbringade en stor del av tiden när vi inte var på utflykter. Sist men inte minst vår värd som vi snabbt fick en god kontakt med och som hjälpte oss på alla sätt.
Totalupplevelsen får högsta betyg och rekommenderas varmt!
Victoria is very nice, keys only after reminder call-but then everything went smoothly.
The house is large and everything is fine.
Kitchen fully equipped with very small drawbacks. (Pots burn all on, no whisk, but at home everything is not perfect!)
Great, clean pool, which we unfortunately could not use to April is too cold for a beach holiday.
A bit annoying was that we only ever one hand and had bath towel per person for 10 days. Washing machine available, but to damp for drying the laundry.
Bedding was the beginning of the season a little musty and not very clean.
Nevertheless, we were pleased with all the trimmings.
3 bedrooms with 2 beds (good mattress!), Large sofa in the living room and one extra folding bed for an emergency-super.
Victoria ist total nett, Schlüsselübergabe erst nach Erinnerungsanruf-dann hat aber alles problemlos geklappt.
Das Haus ist groß und alles in Ordnung.
Küche mit sehr kleinen Abstrichen voll ausgestattet. (Töpfe brennen alle an, kein Schneebesen, aber zu Hause ist ja auch nicht alles perfekt!)
Toller, sauberer Pool, den wir aber leider nicht nutzen konnten-April ist doch zu kalt für einen Badeurlaub.
Etwas störend war, dass wir für 10 Tage nur je ein Hand-und Duschtuch pro Person hatten. Waschmaschine zwar vorhanden , aber zu klamm zum Trocknen der Wäsche.
Bettzeug war zum Saisonanfang etwas muffig und nicht sehr sauber.
Trotzdem waren wir mit allem drum und dran zufrieden.
3 Schlafzimmer mit je 2 Betten (gute Matratzen !), großes Sofa im Wohnzimmer und noch ein extra Klappbett für den Notfall-super.
We have spent four days there, and everything has been great! The beautiful and spotless floor, beautifully situated in the old town, and totally charming host a site to recommend without hesitation. :)
Hemos pasado 4 días allí, y todo ha sido genial! El piso bonito y limpísimo, muy bien situado en pleno casco antiguo, y la anfitriona totalmente encantadora, un sito a recomendar sin duda. :)
We had a lovely Holiday in Mercé and Victorias flat in Palma. Mercé met us in Placa Cord at 10.30, when our bus arrived to Palma. She told us where to buy groceries and different other things. The flat is nice and cosy with two god bedrooms and a lovely terrace. We had no problems under our stay, if we had, I am sure Mercé would help us anytime. There is a long smal stairway to the flat, so it is not for disabled people.
Kind regards Yrsa, Jesper, Lars and Birte

New York City Opera Labor Woes: Tensions Ease, Problems Persist
In a dramatic easing of tensions between New York City Opera and members of the American Guild of Musical Artists, the union has drawn back from earlier plans to strike on April 30 as NYCO approaches the close of the season with a soon-to-expire contract on its hands.
"We had one negotiation with them last week," commented AGMA executive director Alan Gordon. "Their pitch is they just haven't had time to deal with their budget and figure out what they can afford to do. But whatever they can afford to do is going to be a drastic change from what has gone on in the past."
Gordon did not speculate on what that scaled back NYCO would look like, but added the problem boiled down to a very simple point: "They don't have the money," Gordon said.
In the meeting, Gordon described a NYCO that asked the union not to engage in a one-day strike as had been threatened because the move "would only hurt the opera any not give [AGMA] any more leverage."
Gordon said City Opera's AGMA members, which include soloists, choristers and production staff, were "receptive" to the suggestion.
NYCO has been besieged with broader financial problems of late that have caused the company to postpone announcement of its coming season and conduct a full review of its budgetary planning.
In last week's negotiating meeting, AGMA members were told they could expect to hear back from New York City Opera in "May or June" regarding their contracts, according to Gordon. "Is it worth trying to help the company survive if it's not going to really be City Opera anymore?" he asked.
New York City Opera declined to comment for this article. The company's performances of Seance on a Wet Afternoon, the last production of the season, will go on as planned through Sunday.
The American classical music world has grappled in recent months with strikes, stalled negotiations and crippling deficits. While the Detroit Symphony Orchestra managed to secure a tentative agreement in April, ending a bitter six-month strike, in the same month the Philadelphia Orchestra filed for bankruptcy and the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra suddenly dissolved, leaving ticket holders without recourse. New York Attorney General Schneiderman has launched an inquiry into that orchestra's plight.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Texas Attorney General Child Support Division, Texas USA
Texas Attorney General Child Support Division - Crooks - Lazy - Inconsiderate - Negligent - Dead Beat Parents - Texas Attorney General Child Support Division supports dead beat parents in not paying child support and hiding their income Plano Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My story with the Texas Attorney General actually begins 14 years ago. When my ex and I had our child support order put into place, my ex was ordered to have his wages garnished and payments be issued through the Texas Attorney General's Office. I never received any money and I contacted the Attorney General's office continuously, but could never receive any assistance. I contacted my Local House of Representatives, who contacted my local Texas A.G's office and what do you know, I started receiving child support. About a year after receiving child support, my ex decided that he did not like what he was paying and wanted to have a review so back we went. He was told to bring his pay stubs to the review. He of course did not. He lied about what he was making, I knew this because I was friends with his cousin who worked where he did and later told me that he had lied about his income, so the Attorney General lowered his child support. He was also supposed to be carrying health insurance on my son, but would not carry it. He was also at this point several thousand behind in child support and they did not add anything to his payment for arrearage. In 2006, we went back to court for another review and to get his arrearage issue addressed, due to the fact that he was over $10,000 behind at this point. He lied again about his income and his child support was lowered. I was also give the opportunity to carry health insurance, which he was ordered to pay for, but the arrearage was once again not addressed.
We are now in 2014, I have requested a review as it has been 8 years since there has been one. The Attorney General had told me that they had no clue where my ex was. I wasn't sure where he was either, as he walked out of my son's life many years ago, but by using our newfound Social Media, within about 2 seconds, I found that he had moved to Colorado. I informed the Attorney General where he was. They sent him a packet and informed me that he states that he does not make more than he did 8 years ago. Now, I am not an idiot, no person is going to state that they make more when they do not want to make any more. I informed the lady at the Attorney General's Office of this. I also informed her that in 14 years, he has never paid for any of my son's medical bills, school supplies, school clothes, extracurricular activities, etc. I do not want anything from him, but it would have been nice to have had some assistance. I have struggled all this time, while he was out taking trips all of the world, buying new vehicles, buying motorcycles, etc.
As he just posted on Facebook the other day that he just purchased a Brand New Motorcycle, but he does not make any more money. Now I find that hard to believe.
Another thing is I sent emails to the Attorney General every other day for 6 weeks, I would call daily during my lunch period, if they answered, I was placed on hold and they would never return. I could only get a response from them I filed a complaint.
The Attorney General Child Support Division, acts as if this is not our Children's money and that we are asking for something from them or our government or something for free. How is it that the other parent is allowed to live their life and do as they want, but we have to explain to our child or children that we simply do not have the money or cannot afford it, or for some people, actually have to get assistance from the government because of these dead beat parents, but yet we are treated badly because we want assistance in getting what is rightfully ours.
This is 20% of pay. If they were still involved in a relationship, wouldn't it be much more than that. So what are they complaining about? Also, I guess they should have thought about that before they decided to have a child. These children did not ask for this. I surely did not get pregnant so I could have this fight for 18 years and have to deal with this jerk and the jerks at the Attorney General's office who are there just to collect a pay check and are not willing to help these children.
If there is anybody that is willing to help me get a review and get what is rightfully my sons then please contact me.

Corruption has sullied BJP's image with or without BSY: Dr Sandeep Shastri on K'taka civic polls
Social scientist Dr Sandeep Shastri joined IBNLive readers for an interaction on the Karnataka civic polls.
Eminent social scientist and analyst Dr Sandeep Shastri joined IBNLive readers for an interaction on the Karnataka civic polls.
Q. What will be the impact on next Assembly elections? Asked by: raja
A. Raja, these elections clearly indicate a trend in urban Karnataka. The Congress appears to have done well in the ULB polls with the ruling party in the state - the BJP, having to do a serious introspection. Local body elections have local issues. The Assembly elections will be in a different context. So there elections are an indicator ... just an indicator and not an accurate barometer.
Q. Will these ULB elections decide the course of assembly elections in karnataka? Asked by: RKG
A. RKG it is difficult to say whether the elections will decide the course of the coming elections. Does it indicate a mood? Definitely so in urban Karnataka.
Q. Hi Sir, with the K'taka civic poll result in favour of Cong..is there will be significant impact in the 2014 LS results. Asked by: raj gopal
A. Raj the 2014 Lok Sabha poll is far away... before that we have a state assembly poll. This ULB results will surely have implications for party preparations and strategies for the coming Assembly polls.
Q. Can BJP still come out as the single largest party if they get their act together or its a finished game already? Asked by: Ankit
A. Can the BJP get its act together.... if it was serious about it, the party should have done it by now. Ankit, it looks as if the remaining two months is too short a time to do any meaningful recovery operation and salvage a sinking morale and unimpressive performance record.
Q. Is it going to be an end of BJP rule in Karnataka? Or There is any chance to retain the majority in the coming assembly elections without BSY - the Power Hungry? Asked by: suresh
A. Suresh, all indicators point to it being an uphill task for the BJP to secure a majority an return to power. In the political horizon there seem to be very few indicators to point to that direction.
Q. How do you see the performance of JD(S) and KJP? Asked by: Ankit
A. Ankit, there is a tendency to underestimate the potential of the JD(S). It has strong pockets of support in the Old Mysore region. The Urban Local Body Election Results are indicative of this fact. It is bound to be a close contest between the Congress and the JD(S) in many constituencies in Old Mysore region with the BJP too staking a claim in some seats. As for the KJP, its leaderships statement seem to indicate that its main goal is to get the BJP defeated and prove the fact that in the absence of BSY, the BJP cannot be a force to reckon with. That seems to be the limited political agenda and if it is possible to be a king maker after the next poll, that would be the icing on the political cake for them!
Q. As K'nataka BJP had done a lots of damage while saving Yeddyurappa..it took part of its toll due to him and now he has also broke way from BJP..dont you think the result of these polls are symptoms of what BJP had done to itself on the issue of corruption in K'taka while saving corrupt Yeddyurappa..this was about to come for BJP and will come in big way during 2014 LS polls..what's your say? Asked by: Gauda
A. Corruption has clearly sullied the image of the BJP with or without BSY. That is surely going to impact on the party in the 2013 Assembly poll. Will it have an impact on the 2014 Lok Sabha poll from Karnataka.... too early to say.
Q. Sir, What are the opportunities now available for KJP party other splitting some votes in upcoming assembly poll?. Can KJP made alliance with any other party like Cong or JD(S)? Asked by: Hari
A. Hari as I said in response to an earlier question, the KJP has a limited political agenda: a) to demonstrate to the central leadership of the BJP and some state leaders that you will find the going tough without us (read BSY); b) it would hope for an Assembly with no party securing a clear majority and win a sufficient number of seats that will allow it to play king maker. An alliance with either the JD(S) or Congress before the poll is not likely. After the Assembly elections, it depends on how many seats each party wins.
Q. Can Narendra Modi salvage BJP in the assembly elections if he decides to campaign aggressively in Karnataka? Asked by: Ankit
A. Ankit, to expect Narendra Modi to salvage the reputation of the BJP is to expect an impossible miracle. I am not too sure whether Mr Modi will campaign in Karnataka, knowing that the party may do badly.
Q. Sir, As per this result we can say Congress got negative votes because of anger on BJP or corruption or party internal politics. Asked by: Hari
A. Hari, clearly the Congress is benefiting from the mood against the BJP. The Congress would need to strategise on how it takes forward its campaign, as merely hoping that a negative vote would catapult them to power, could boomerang and leave them with limited options.
Q. Is the BJP-Yeddyurappa fiasco had a major role in these election. Asked by: Srinivas
A. The split in the BJP and its internal struggle has impacted on the parties chances for sure, Srinivas.
Q. How much chance you think the BJP has to save the only south Indian government it has. Asked by: rajesh
A. Very little Rajesh. The writings seems to be clear on the wall.
Q. With just 272( of 2000) seats for KJP. Do you think it is the end of the road BSY? Asked by: CK
A. CK that depends on what was the destination BSY was looking for realistically at the end of the road!! I'd he hoped to show the BJP that without him, there are problems for the party, he has shown that.
Q. Sir, As per the result BJP have main competition from Cong & JD(S) & not from KJP? KJP may divide only BJP votes or some other party votes also? Asked by: Hari
A. Hari, the KJP seems to be basically eating into the BJP vote, which eminently suits both the Congress and the JD(S) and they are able to benefit in a multi-cornered contest.
Q. What are the prospect of KJP in the assembly election..is it going to get significant no of seats by its standards. Asked by: Swamy
A. Looking at current trends, the KJP does not seem to be in a position to make a huge splash and emerge as a key player. At best it could be a 'spoiler'.
Q. How will you rate the performance of Karnataka BJP rule with the other previous governments in the state. Was it too bad rule of BJP in the state. Asked by: Rak Kiran
A. In many ways, the infighting that the ruling BJP has seen, has also plagued earlier ruling parties in Karnataka: the Congress (1999-2004) and the Janata Dal (1994-99). Voters have never taken kindly to infighting especially in the ruling party as they expect you to govern rather than spend time settling internal battles. On the question of corruption, there have been charges of corruption against previous governments too... However this time around, it look as if too much was tried in too short a time and without the finesse that past leaders had shown.
Q. Don't you think if BJP would have dealt with Yeddyurappa as early as possible by removing him from part would have strengthened the part in the state..BSY anyway went out of it,doing more damage than it would have done before..the then BJP President Mr Gadgari had failed to do much good for the K'nataka BJP. Asked by: Rama
A. Rama this view has been echoed by Mr Advani too. Given the central role that BSY had played in bringing the BJP to power, am not too sure if that was something the BJP could have done easily.
Q. Can Narendra Modi convince Yeddyurappa to join BJP or at least have an alliance with BJP as he share good rapo with Yeddyurappa. Asked by: rajesh
A. Anything is possible in politics, Rajesh. Even if that were to happen, it would not be before the Assembly polls. Many are talking of this as a possibility after the Assembly polls and before Lok Sabha polls.
Q. Why JD(S) was not able to do well in civic polls..Congress walked away with everything. Asked by: Gauda
A. Gauda, I am not sure that the JD(S) did too badly. It has won in critical pockets in Old Mysore. The Congress seems to have been the main beneficiary of anti-incumbency though.
Q. Dear Sir, Going by the results of local body elections do you think Congress will get clear majority in assembly elections or do you think BJP can recover little bit in 2 months and deny a simple majority to congress?? Who is the most probable CM from congress? Asked by: Keshava Prasad
A. Keshava those are tough questions and many of them at one go. Let me take them one by one.... As things stand today, it looks clear that the Congress will emerge as the party with the largest seats in Karnataka. Will that be well above the half way mark, just above the half way mark or short of the half way mark depends on a number of factors : its choice of candidates, the unity in its campaign, congress leaders not undercutting one another. I have always believed that no one defeats the Congress in Karnataka except the Congress itself!! Who will be their CM candidate? There are many suitors waiting in line..... It depends on how many seats it gets and mostly from which region and of course the nod of the High Command of the party.
Q. Going by the numbers it seems JD(S)has lost more than the BJP... why is that so. Can you read anything from the lingayat mood from the results? Asked by: Shashi
A. Shashi, this is basically urban Karnataka. The JD(S) was a distant third in the 2008 Assembly polls. Since then it has recovered quite a bit. Most of the KJP victories have been in North Karnataka the stronghold of the Lingayat community. It may be difficult to expect the KJP to swing the Lingayat vote in it favour. Remember that in 2008 if the Lingayat vote went to the BJP it was because it was the only party to project a credible Chief Ministerial candidate from that community. Indications are that the KJP cannot make a bid for power on its own so that advantage is lost to the KJP.
Q. Sir, If BJP can change its way to approach people & come out with new development project for Upcoming polls may got some seats? If this Cong victory may initiate BJP to Unite and fight hard for upcoming elections? Asked by: Hari
A. Hari, that would be a step too late in the day to expect voters to be convinced and anyways there is little time to show on the ground that the fruits of development are actually reaching the people. That should have been planned from the time they came to power.
Q. Will congress come back to power in Karnataka Assembly? Asked by: RKG
A. RKG, they seem to be the front runners in the race for sure.
Q. Will Yeddurappa go back and merge KJP with BJP? Asked by: RKG
A. RKG your guess is as good as mine!!! Anything could happen after the Assembly polls. Remember Kalyan Singh, Uma Bharati, Jaswant Singh are returned to the party after having been out for brief spells of time.
Q. Will the civic poll outcomes help Congress to bounce back or is it heading towards fractured mandate? Asked by: RKG
A. The Urban Local Body Poll Results would be a shot in the arm of the Congress but then should not make it complacent. The Congress, JD(S) and BJP will all strategise on how best to move forward from here in the next few months.
Q. So BJP lost the plot in Karnataka. So how did JD-U and Congress fare in the elections? Any signs of anti-incumbency clouding the May elections? Asked by: Karthik
A. Karthik, I am sure you mean the JD(S). The Congress and JD(S) seem to have both benefited from a sense of dissatisfaction with the ruling party. anti-incumbency will be big factor. It would be wrong for the Congress to expect to be able to romp home to power on that one factor. There would need to be a positive glue to cross the majority mark.
Q. Mr Shastri, don't you think though Congress has gained, JD(S)taking that second spot should bother BJP and Congress both? Asked by: Nasir
A. Nasir, the Congress has surely gained. As I said the JD(S) has pockets of influence in Old Mysore and will be a competitor to the Congress in many crucial seats.
Q. At the moment..these civic pols will be huge thing for the congress to target BJP. Asked by: Kaunan
A. Yes Kaunan for sure.
Q. If KJP will emerge as the King maker after assembly polls..will not Yeddyurappa will ask that he will be the CM to whom so ever party he gives support to..after seeing how much power thirsty he is. Asked by: Kaunan
A. He can be king maker in two linked circumstances a) No one gets a clear majority on their own and cannot form government only with independents support b) KJP has enough seats to help a party come to power. To expect him to be king again is too distant a dream at the present stage.
Q. Do you think the assembly polls will be eye opener for both BJP and KJP if both will not perform as per their expectation to come into ally for LS polls. Asked by: Kris
A. Kris, that is part of the world of possibilities in the post Assembly elections phase.
Q. Will KJP and BJP join hands once the local bodies elections are over? Since they are competing against each other, Congress and JDS stands to gain the most. Asked by: EMathew
A. I do not see KJP and BJP joining hands at the moment as the KJP aim is to get the BJP defeated. The KJP sees itself as the 'real' Karnataka Janata Party and thinks the BJP is 'Bharatiya' in sense of controlled by Delhi leaders. Unless that fight is resolved, unity looks a distant dream.
Q. I think internal war in BJP favored congress to win elections. Yeddurappa's impact was very less. Yeddi has done wrong thing coming out from BJP. Asked by: Lakshmikanth Gelli
A. Lakshmikanth you have asked three questions. Internal war in BJP has surely helped the Congress, BSY impact is there in the way the BJP has got sidelined in this poll and BSY saw no future for himself in the BJP and saw an exit as the only option.
Q. Apart form corruption and anti incumbency what other issue does the Congress JD(S) has against BJP. Asked by: Ray
A. These two factors are big election winners Ray. The Congress and JD(S) is also focusing on the fact that the BJP which called itself as a party with a difference brought no difference! The lack of governance at the ground level is also being highlighted besides time wasted and spent on infighting within the party. The poor performance of the BJP in the coastal region also points out to the impact of communal tensions that have been on the surface in the recent past.
Q. The entry of AIMIM what does it mean to Karnataka - they got few seats in Bidar. Asked by: Nisar
A. Their influence, if there will be limited to a few seats in Bidar district where they could tile the balance in favour of or against the main contesting parties.

" Address: Daresbury / Warrington / Cheshire WA4 4BB / Tel: 0844 980 2360 "
Daresbury Park
On a recent 2 day visit to Knowsley Safari Park and Camelot, we decided to stay in this hotel for the night. The hotel offered us a good deal and being a De Vere hotel, I thought it would be child friendly; this was important as we were travelling with Little Miss and grandson.
The hotel is easy to find and on a main road but because of the layout is set well back from the road. It is centrally located near the Manchester, Liverpool and Chester and major transport links including Liverpool John Lennon and Manchester International Airports.
The sat nav got us straight to the hotel and the drive to the reception area of the hotel is quite a long one; guests have to pass a large leisure centre and meander through the extensive car park which apparently has spaces for 400 cars.
The hotel itself has a very contemporary look with lots of glass and a kind of curved structure. It has been extensively refurbished and it did look very new modern and clean.
We parked close to the hotel and went to check in. The entrance lobby is light and airy with small tables, chairs and comfy sofas dotted around the place. In keeping with the general look of the hotel, the reception desk itself was all sleek and modern and we were quickly checked in by the friendly and helpful receptionist.
We were staying in a room on the 3rd floor, and to get to the lifts had to walk through what I can describe only as a glass tunnel. The gardens are on either side of the tunnel, with tables and chairs, all very pleasant for a summer evening. There are two lifts and we were quickly taken to our floor, where the rooms were clearly sign posted.
There are 134 twin and double bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. Our bedroom was what I call the typical hotel bedroom; desk, table and chair wardrobe (with hangers, ironing board and iron), bedside cabinets, and storage space. It was quite blandly decorated but clean and functional. We had the two children with us so two blow up beds had been placed by the side of the double bed. I did think that because extra beds had been added, some of the additional and unnecessary furniture could have been taken away. It was all a bit of a squash, with the table and chair being pushed into the corner.
The room was incredibly hot, and the window just opened a tiny bit. Because of this, and without us asking, a large fan had also been added to the general jumble of furniture in the room. Maybe time to think about air conditioning!
Other features of the room included:Satellite TV, direct dial telephone hairdryer tea / coffee making facility, complimentary broadband access, satellite channels, pay TV movies and radio. There was also a complimentary activity pack and fruit shoot for the children which was a nice touch.
Although quite small, the bathroom was clean and bright with the usual toilet, bath with over bath shower, thankfully a shower door and not curtain, and sink.
The towels were fluffy and white but rather sparse- there were four of us and only three towels, and I had rather thought we would have got one each. Also in the bathroom were some toiletries, but again, I think we could have been given an extra shower gel given that we were four!
The restaurant is situated on the second floor and is accessed by wandering through the bar area, although there is a café type serving area in the entrance lobby serving snacks, and drinks.
The restaurant itself is large and airy and is sectioned into smaller areas. The tables and chairs are all light wood, with the tables at the sides of the room being upholstered bench type seating. A bonus for us was that there were plenty of clean high chairs so no waiting around until a dining little one had finished.
We had bought a package for the hotel which included an evening meal and breakfast. Until we sat down, we didn't realise that the evening meal would be a kind of platter to share. This was fine in principal but they hadn't asked about dietary needs and since there was a vegetarian in our ranks, food was sparse. That said, the food on the platter was delicious for the meat eaters. There were plenty of chicken wings, barbecued chicken, salmon, prawns, potato wedges and chips with salad and vegetables. All nicely cooked and presented, although we did have to order another meal which featured fewer cuts of meat!
The breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit salad, toast, fresh fruit juices, cooked breakfast, cereals, and croissants. This was self service style and left us full and ready for the day ahead.
Although we didn't use any of the extras, the hotel also has:
* Meeting & Syndicate Rooms:
* Indoor pool
* gym with over 20 fitness stations
* beauty salon
* spa bath and sauna, squash court
* internet cafe
Address: Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 4BB
Telephone: 0844 980 2360
Fax: 0844 980 2481
E mail: email@example.com
We were at the hotel for only one night and bar a few problems, it was fine for us, given that we were using it only as a base.
The staff are friendly and efficient, all areas of the hotel are clean and the food we had was tasty and plenty of it (unless vegetarian.)
One plus point is that it is very child friendly although given the size of the place and the extensive grounds it would have been nice to have had an outdoor play area. There was however a room designated as an indoor play area where parents could take children and where there were colouring sheets, pencils and a wii.
In summary, it' a chain hotel, nothing spectacular but good as a base
Thanks for reading

Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-CT)
Congresswoman Nancy Johnson has been a strong and consistent supporter or the arts during her 17-year tenure in the House of Representatives for Connecticut's sixth congressional district. She believes that supporting the arts is a sound cultural investment and good economic policy. Through her leadership as co-founder of the Tuesday Lunch Bunch, an influential caucus of House moderate Republicans, she has proven to be instrumental in gaining bipartisan congressional support for the arts. In 1998, facing enormous pressure from House leaders to eliminate all federal funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, Johnson emerged as a GOP arts leader when she spearheaded an amendment to modify procedural rules enabling a fair "up or down" vote to restore funding to the NEA, which had just been zeroed out minutes earlier. This important maneuver paved the way for an overwhelming number of House members to finally have the opportunity to declare their support for the NEA and to help prevent biased procedural rules from blocking future floor votes in support of the agency. As a coalition-builder, she initiated a series of congressional sign-on letters to build support for the arts, culminating with 58 House moderate Republicans crossing party lines to increase their vocal support of the arts.
On the heels of five tumultuous years of congressional culture wars, Johnson now actively seeks to significantly augment federal funding for the arts in the United States. As a founding member of the Congressional Arts Caucus, she co-sponsored, along with the caucus chairs, a bipartisan amendment to increase funding for the NEA in 1999. As the first Republican female member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, Johnson has also championed causes ranging from education issues to reducing taxes, from saving Social Security to tougher environmental legislation. While Congresswoman Johnson's political career began when she ran for the Connecticut State Senate in 1976, her commitment to the arts began much earlier as a volunteer at the New Britain Museum of American Arts. Born in Chicago and a graduate of Radcliffe College, she is married with three daughters.

I have already placed my 2nd order.
By ushasingh2012
Best online retailer I have used!
By dumisani tshabalala
I just want to thank NIVO for the excellent service I have received from their company. I tried to order the hard drive I wanted from another supplier last week. They canceled the order on Monday afternoon due to no stock being available even though I was assured that they had stock when I ordered it. Luckily I then found NIVO online and after placing my order yesterday morning, I have received my product in Cape Town a bit more than 24 hours later. This is the way online shopping should be!
By marlom
Awesome service guys. Thanks
By Addy
Good service with an excellent tracking system
By Yates
We shop with complete confidence at Nivo - there is always clear communication from time of ordering to when the product(s) are delivered. Excellent pricing, prompt and efficient, complete peace of mind. We had issues with late delivery because of the courier but changing to Berco solved that easily. Highly recommended online shopping experience!!
By DaveySmith
Excellent service, I bought a Garmin GPS and it took only 3 days to be delivered.

Excellent service and speedy delivery. I will definitely use Nivo in future.
By schalk
What more can I say that has not already been said - Out of this world customer experience! I remember speaking to Antonia back in 2007 when they were just starting out and things were just as good as they are now - all this with Antonia still involved.I purchased approx R18000 worth of equipment and what she and her team could not supply initially, she either bettered the product or discounted the price.Best e-tailer I have dealt with EVER! As usual you will see me shopping with you again @ Antonia and Martin.
By Ash
I wholeheartedly endorse what Fanie has written about Nivo. I have also been an internet shopper for over ten years and have never experienced such good service all round!
By gerry
I would like to congratulate you on your excellent web service. I have done a lot of online shopping in the past 10 years and no where is there an online shop that can match your excellent service, excellent communication, excellent delivery and of course your excellent prices. From day one until delivery I have received 9 e-mails keeping me up to date about what is happening with my order and the NIVO team goes out of there way to get items that they do not have in stock, even if it means to compromise their price for the goods and giving you discount on a substitute item. Thank you, once again, for the excellent customer service, and I can assure you of my continuous support in future.
An experience like this really makes me want to buy only online. Thanks Nivo that was superb!
By Jaco
I have to give these guys 5 stars - very happy!
By fastfred
The boss of Nivo is an first class business lady. Professional, competent and pleasant to deal with. I purchased an Asus EEE 904 from Nivo and it was not a simple routine exercise because her suppliers gave her some misleading info. In addition I live in Richards Bay and the courier went to Durban. Nivo's excellent tracking system was very reassuring as well as her cheerful cell phone callsa. A brilliant shopping experience in a planet ful of risky operators. Thank you madam. Most business could learn from you.
By mike
Excellent customer service. Spoke to Antonia, very helpful and friendly and does an effort to help you get what you need. I'd recommend Nivo to anyone.
By Wouter
This site is brilliant! It offers all the perks of shopping around all from the comfort of your office desk. A true time saver. Many thanks.
By Andreas
I ordered 1GB of RAM for my Lenovo laptop, paid and started to track the order (excellent tracking facility on their site). Then, for some reason I was not sure if I bought the right one, so I phoned and asked. Antonia assisted me, found that I did in fact order the incorrect unit, got the right one by phoning Lenovo and Kingston for me, changed my order and still delivered the next day - which was the original ETA. This kind of service can not be found every day, or anywhere in SA - I recommend Nivo to anyone!
By meg
I have bought a couple of items from nivo and everytime there service has been OUTSTANDING I think all South African online shops could learn a thing or two from these guys! I've made the mistake of trying other south african online retailers and have often been extremely disappointed! Keep it up guys! Looking forward to my next purchase!
By Devin
Great service!!!! I phoned them with a view questions and they were extremely helpful, even reserved the stock for me. Received order on time. You can track your parcel on their website and they send you a sms. I would definitely use them again.
By Arnovde
Bought an expensive laptop.. no worries.. and they where very friendly. GREAT SITE!!
By steve1113
Telephonic enquiry was handled friendly and efficiently. I could check the progress of my order and it was delivered in very good time and the price was very good.
By Stef
Some shops offer poor quality products to give a good price. These guys had the best price by far on a high quality product, and their service is the best I have ever seen.
By JacquesR
Computer companies are normally terrible at communication with customers - they rarely return phone calls and you have to beg to be treated as a human being. NIVO is going to change that because their communication skills are excellent. There were some glitches in my order and Antonia did all she could to keep me informed and to take care of things. The speed of service was very good. When someone takes care of problems, you know they want you as a customer and they want you to come back later. Well done Antonia and all at NIVO. I will be back - and already have been.
By Alan
Superb! Wish more SA shops were like this!
By pcholakov

I ordered an additional 1GB of Kingston RAM for my HP Laptop. Availability was indicated and delivery would take 7 days after order. It in fact shipped 3 days after ordering - fantastic! Product arrived the next day in Cape Town via courier. Payment via credit card was simple and efficient and the whole shopping experience was a pleasure. The website is very user-friendly. Prices are very competitive and are generally quite a bit lower than others. Would highly recommend.

Paul Kellogg is a partner with the law firm of Hughes Watters Askanase. Kellogg expects twenty-twelve to be a good year for business startups in Houston. He points to the improving job and commercial real estate markets, as well as the low cost of living. But more than three years after financial markets collapsed, capital for new ventures remains scarce.
"Loans for small businesses are very tight. The requirements are tough. A lot of people are having to go back to the old-fashioned way of friends and family financing as your first round, and then when you have a proven track record, you can go to, you know, regular commercial lenders."
Kellogg says banks are growing more comfortable lending to midsize companies, which he defines as those worth at least two million dollars.

The Red Sox starter allowed one run on five hits over six innings, leading his team to a 6-1 win over the Astros Sunday at Fenway Park. Lackey's ERA after two starts stands at 2.61, having given up two runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays before leaving with a strained right biceps.
'A healthy John Lackey, one who's capable of a career that has been very good, he gives us a huge boost, not in terms of just innings alone, the number of innings that he can pitch, but the performance," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "When you look back to when he was healthy, we can all recognize the last couple of years have been as much competing against his own body as it has been the opponent. He's in a good place right now, and there were no physical issues today. He came out of today fine. He does give us a seasoned veteran and a very good pitcher in that spot in the rotation."
Farrell added, "I thought the ball got out of his hand better than expected, not only in terms of velocity but in the action to which some of his pitches showed at the bottom of the strike zone, whether it was a two-seamer to get a number of ground balls. He had a good cutter. Consistent sharpness to his curveball, as we saw in Toronto in his first outing. Honestly, it was better than expected in most ways today."
The win was Lackey's first since Aug. 23, 2011 at Texas (614 days), snapping a career-long stretch of seven starts without a victory.
With the victory — the Red Sox' 18th of the season (18-7) — the Sox have now matched their total number of series sweeps for the entire 2012 campaign (3). It was their fifth straight win, and matched the most victories the franchise has ever totaled in April (1998, 2002).
The game ended on a diving catch by Daniel Nava in which the right fielder extended his entire body in hauling in Robbie Grossman's deep flay ball.
Here is what went right (and wrong) in the Sox' latest win:
– David Ortiz didn't skip a beat, driving in the Red Sox' first run via a one-out RBI single, plating Nava (double). The hit made the DH 12-for-15 against right-handed pitching, and 7-for-14 with two strikes. Ortiz would later add to his production with an RBI double into the right field corner in the seventh. The designated hitter currently carries a .516 batting average (16-for-31) after eight games.
– Stephen Drew broke a 1-1 tie with a triple to right field in the fourth, scoring Mike Carp and Jarrod Saltalamacchia (both of whom had singled). It marked the second multi-RBI game of the season for Drew, who has now reached base in six of his last eight games.
– Dustin Pedroia remained on fire, this time making it a 4-1 game with his fifth-inning double down the left field line, scoring Nava. It marked the fourth straight game the second baseman — who came into the game hitting .364 with a .930 OPS on the homestand — has notched at least one RBI. Carp would quickly drive in Pedroia with a double of his own, off the left field wall.
– Lackey got out of a huge jam in his final inning, stranding the bases-loaded in the sixth inning. With the bags full, and the Red Sox holding a 5-1 lead, the starter struck out Fernando Martinez before getting Matt Dominguez to ground out to shorstop. Lackey finished his outing getting nine of his 14 outs on the ground.
– With two outs in the second inning, Nava saved a run by going back to the warning track in right field and hauling in Robbie Grossman's drive via a basket catch.
– The Red Sox forced Houston starter Bud Norris to throw 29 pitches in the first inning. The Astros Opening Day starter would need 108 pitches to get through six innings. The Red Sox have seen more first-inning pitches than any team in baseball.
– Lackey struggled out of the gate. After retiring his first two batters, the righty allowed walks to Jason Castro and Carlos Pena before giving up Ronny Cedeno's run-scoring single.
– Jacoby Ellsbury was caught attempting to steal for the first time this season, getting gunned down by Castro at second with two outs in the second inning. The outfielder had been successful in his first 11 attempts this season, setting a new organizational record for most swipes in the month of April.
– Mike Napoli's pop-up to shallow right field fell in between three Astros fielders in the fourth. But the Red Sox' baserunner got greedy, trying to stretch Houston's misfortune into two bases. The result was Napoli being thrown out at second for the inning's first out.

First off I don't want to take away from Ryan's official review he posted of the first 20 hours of the game but I noticed in the comments that people wanted a full review with a score so I will do that. Do keep in mind this is based off the Japanese version of the game but for the most part it should be almost all the same.
Since Ryan covered a good deal of the game already I just want to go over what he wasn't able to get to. Like Ryan already mentioned, you spend a lot of time going back over some of the same landscapes over and over. As you get to about the midway point this does change a little bit but the fact that this is a port of a Wii game is very apparent. The world never gets to be near the same size as previous Tales series games such as Tales of Vesperia or the newer Tales of Xillia.
For the battle system, I actually think it was a step in the right direction. Having done away with TP, which has always been the Tales series version of MP, and substituting it with CC points that give you a limit per combo on attacks you can use but slowly regenerates is awesome. It forces you to really learn how to play your character in battle and not just mash buttons like you can in previous Tales installments. This did give a major flaw to the game though. Out side of battle there is no way to heal your characters outside of items or resting at an inn. No longer can you use a healing spell while out of battle.
With regards to upgrading your characters, titles, which usually give you extra costumes in the Tales series this time give you your bonus stats. You get new titles for basically anything you do. By equipping a title and going into battle you get points that go towards leveling it up. Each title has 5 levels and each level gives new bonuses or skills. A few also give you the ability to change your characters costumes. In addition to the bonuses you get for leveling up titles, simply having a title equipped will give you that titles bonus. If that title is maxed out that bonus is even bigger.
The big difference between Tales of Graces F and the original Wii version is the bonus scenario you unlock after beating the main game. This new scenario picks up a few years after the original and introduces new titles, costumes and some new battle elements that can later be all be transferred back to the original game for use in the originals bonus content which includes a colosseum and two bonus dungeons. This extra scenario can be considered a full blown game by current standards. By that I mean that it takes about 10 hours to complete.
This has been a rather short review, but I didn't want to take away from what Ryan has already written. As such I'll just move onto my closing comments and scoring.
CLOSING COMMENTS: While Tales of Graces F certainly shows its age it is still a decent game overall. If you take into account the 40-45 hour main game and the 10 hour extra scenario you get a pretty lengthy game. Like most games in the Tales series the main draw is the battle system which doesn't disappoint.
PRESENTATION: 7.0 - While not bad, not great either. It does have a nice animated opening as well as a few animated scenes spread throughout the game but with Tales of Xillia out already it just feels far behind.
GRAPHICS: 7.0 - Originally a Wii title and that shows. Environments are bland at times, areas small, and lots of backtracking through them. That being said there is definitely worse out there.
SOUND: 7.0 - The Japanese voice acting was solid but the music got old pretty quickly. The only time it really changed was during the extra scenario and that is just too far into the game.
GAMEPLAY: 9.0 - Like most Tales games this is where it shines. With the exception of Tales of Xillia this is probably the best battle system in the series. It isn't perfect however, as not being able to heal outside of battle with skills is stupid.
LASTING APPEAL: 8.0 - Once you beat the main story you get a lengthy extra scenario as well as two bonus dungeons. It gives you plenty of reasons to keep playing the game for a long time.
If you have any more specific questions about the game feel free to ask in the comments. Also, I am debating which game to write a review for next. Either Tales of Xillia or Final Fantasy Type-0. If anyone has a preference let me know. Thanks!

NVIDIA GeForce Drivers: 335.23 vs 337.50
Prior to today's release of NVIDIA Forceware R337, the previously available version was 335.23. Many, but certainly not all GeForce users playing Titanfall, likely used R335 drivers. It's important to use the latest drivers with your video card (true for either manufacturer), since they're built with a particular library of game titles.
While installing the latest graphics driver may sound like something you hear repeated in an all-too-common fashion, it rings especially true with R337. You see, the optimization that comprise DirectX 12 have been revealed in this new Forceware driver, and it's fully compatible with three generations of NVIDIA GPUs: Maxwell (700-series), Kepler (600-series), and Fermi (500-series).
Comparing NVIDIA Forceware driver version 335.23 (previous release) to Forceware 337.50 (current release), you'll notice two different performance trends:
The results illustrated above were obtained by playing twenty rounds of Titanfall with each driver release. Since Titanfall limits the maximum framerate to 60, there was no point in reporting that metric. However, the minimum and average frame rates were particularly revealing. Unfortunately, Titanfall does not have a repeatable level or benchmark performance test, so measuring frame rates fell to repeated sessions using Fraps to capture FPS results. I ignored the five highest and lowest results in order to normalize the tests, and averaged the remaining ten results into the chart.
While the results are not absolute because they compare non-repeatable game action, they do offer a solid indication that a significant amount of free performance boost can be had by simply updating your drivers. NVIDIA is in the position to further extend the life of older (Fermi and Kepler) GPUs, while at the same time offering better performance from current-generation GeForce cards. In my case, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti was capable of 58 FPS average frame rates while playing with maximum graphics quality settings.
In summary, my own tests conclude that there are significant performance gains present in Titanfall that are delivered by using the latest Force R337 drivers when compared to all previously released editions. The drivers are free and the upgrade takes only a few minutes, so it comes highly recommend. If you're playing Titanfall, it's worth every extra frame your video card can provide.
The latest GeForce drivers are available from NVIDIA at http://www.geforce.com/drivers.

In a study published in an upcoming issue of The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry researchers show that over reactive parenting, such as heavy criticism or yelling as a response to a child's negative behavior, can produce higher levels of aggression or rule-breaking in a child who is normally introverted, non-benevolent, non-conscientious, or imaginative.
Children who are extraverted, benevolent, conscientious, or not that imaginative by nature are least adversely affected by this parental response.
The research (taken from 586 families) shows that rule-breaking and aggressive behavior is influenced by the inherent personality traits of a child. The study also shows that aggression-related behavior generally decreases as the children grow but on average the rule-breaking behavior does not change, and both genders exhibit these behaviors between the ages six to fifteen. When examining both personality and gender boys and girls are not different affected by parenting methods.

Tony and I have been lucky enough to know some of these country artists for a long, long time. One of the best performers I've ever seen kicked off his "Light The Fuse" tour and I'm hearing rave reviews about it. I'm looking forward to checking him out and encourage you to also if you get the chance. I'll have a review of the show for you next week. Keith is one of those guys that I really respect. He has really had tough times in the past and really become a great person in addition to being a talented performer. He always is kind and trying to be a better person. If you were wondering, my favorite Keith songs are "Kiss A Girl", "Making Memories Of Us", "Your Everything", and "You Look Good In My Shirt"…
Another thing I'm excited about is we are under 40 days until college football season. Alabama is hoping for another Championship season. One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday afternoon is get with some friends and have some food and beers while cheering on the tide.
Nosy people really freak me out. I must be so self centered cause I really don't ask anyone that much about their personal life unless it is a very close friend. Even then, if I ask a question it's vague and just for conversation. I bring it up cause even though I'm in this business and I put my life out there on the air. I'm pretty private about my personal life, if I hang out with a gal, usually I don't go downtown because of nosy people. Example. The other night I met a lady for drinks and ran into one person I knew. The next afternoon on a business call another person says "Hey, heard you were out with so and so last night?"… I just said "Oh really"..Then he hammered me with about 20 questions, none of which were any of his business. Why the person I saw felt the need to report to everyone who I was with was odd and the fact that the person on the phone needed to know just weirded me out. Why do people feel they need to know the "Gossip" and then tell other people.
Speaking of my love life…I've never put much stock in the "What's your sign?" thing, but our friend Chris posted Tony and my horoscope on our facebook. It's a little creepy how accurate they both were.
Tony – Virgo in Love:
It's important for the Virgo lover to feel needed by their mates. Outside of the bedroom is where the majority of foreplay is going to happen for this sign. Tactile, methodical and willing to take as long as is needed, they make excellent lovers. Even though the Virgo won't express many words of love, they will show their affections in the bedroom. Virgos prefer to have a few strong connections rather than many partners. Life partners are chosen based on how important and needed the Virgo feels they are in their lives. They are dedicated spouses that love to live on the wild side once and a while.
Kris – Sagittarius in Love:
Sagittarians are playful and love to have fun with their lovers. Passionate, expressive, and willing to try just about anything, partners who are equally outgoing are best suited to the Sagittarius. There's a fine line between sex and love for this sign. Their love of change and variety can bring a lot of different faces to the bedroom. But when it comes to love, that's an entirely different thing. Once taken, the Sagittarian is loyal, true-blue, and devoted. Mates for this sign need to be intellectual, sensitive, and expressive for the best results. As the key phrase for this sign is I understand, having a good sense of how their partner thinks is quite important.
Chris Woods-Two things that caught my attention Tony – tactile and methodical; Kris – playful and fun. Think this sums up your personalities quite nicely.
Thanks Chris for that and for everyone that is reading this.
Hope you have a great week and move toward your goals..

'Iran is using talks to buy time for bomb'
Renewed international efforts to negotiate curbs on Iran's disputed nuclear programme have backfired by giving it more time to work on building a bomb, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday.
His remarks on the inconclusive February 26-27 meeting between Iran and six world powers signalled impatience by Israel, which has threatened to launch pre-emptive war on its arch-foe, possibly in the coming months, if it deems diplomacy a dead end.
Senior UN diplomat Wendy Sherman flew in to brief Israel about the Kazakh-hosted talks, in which Tehran, which denies seeking nuclear arms, was offered modest relief from sanctions in return for halting mid-level uranium enrichment.
There was no breakthrough. The sides will reconvene in Almaty on April 5-6 after holding technical talks in Istanbul.
"My impression from these talks is that the only thing that is gained from them is a buying of time, and through this time-buying Iran intends to continue enriching nuclear material for an atomic bomb and is indeed getting closer to this goal," Netanyahu told his Cabinet in remarks aired by Israeli media.
Extrapolating from UN reports on Iran's enrichment of uranium to 20 per cent fissile purity, a short technical step from weapons-grade, Netanyahu has set a mid-2013 "red line" for denying the Islamic republic the fuel needed for a first bomb.
Iranian media reported yesterday the country was building around 3,000 new advanced enrichment centrifuges, a development that could accelerate the nuclear project.
The prospect of unilateral Israeli strikes, and the likely wide-ranging reprisals by Iran and its regional allies, worries Washington, which wants to pursue diplomacy as it winds down costly military commitments abroad.
