Mandatory Genuine Savings Policy for a Home Loan
In recent times, many Australian lenders have introduced a mandatory genuine savings policy for everyone that applies for a home loan.
This was implemented in response to the increased number of first home buyers that were applying for mortgages with no deposit and no savings.
So how does this affect your ability to borrow?
Lenders have different genuine savings requirements depending on the amount that you borrow.
- 80% of the property value: Genuine savings isn't required.
- 85% of the property value: Genuine savings isn't required by most lenders.
- 90% of the property value: Most lenders require genuine savings.
- 95% of the property value: Almost all lenders require genuine savings.
- 100% of the property value: A couple of our lenders offer guarantor loans for 100% or more of the purchase without genuine savings. Read the rest of this entry »
How Does Home Loan Interest Work?
Understanding how interest affects your home loan is an important step in the loan process. Even if the interest rate remains relatively low it will still add up to a large portion of your total repayments over the duration of a 25-30 year home loan term.
Understanding interest
Many people misunderstand how interest is calculated. For example, when investigating a $100,000 loan at 10% interest, a novice borrower might think the total amount of interest to be paid will be $10,000.
The above calculation would be accurate if the $100,000 (plus $10,000 interest) is paid off in one year, as the interest rate is a yearly cost. However, home loans are a long term commitment where repayments chip away at the amount owing over time.
Putting it in perspective: a typical repayment rate on the $100,000 loan at 10% interest could be $1,000 per month, which would add up to $12,000 paid over one year. In other words, you will have paid $10,000 interest plus $2,000 off the principal amount. This means that in the second year of your repayment schedule you will be paying 10% interest on the remaining $98,000 of your loan.
It's slow going at first, but with each passing year your $1,000 monthly repayments will more rapidly pay off the lowering interest, plus a greater percentage of the principal amount. In other words, you need to be patient to see results, and the last ten years of your loan repayments will be an exciting time as you watch the amount owing quickly disappear.

Reasons you may want to purchase a used car instead of a new one
There are many reasons you may want to purchase a used car instead of a new one. Some of them are listed below:
- Much better price- There is a $20,000.00 difference between a new and a used car according to Cars.com. The interest rates are not much different between the two types of cars. Even though used car interest rates may be slightly higher, this may be offset by cheaper insurance rates.
- If you buy a used car from a private party, you will not encounter the additional fees associated with new cars.
- Deciding to buy a used car opens up a huge inventory of cars to choose from. You won't only be able to choose from this year's models. All of a sudden, a whole world of cars has opened up to you to buy.
- Used cars depreciate much more slowly and you paid less to begin with.
- New cars are much more expensive to insure because of their replacement value. You will have to pay more for GAP insurance to cover this difference. Insurance for new cars may be an added expense you haven't thought about.
- The internet opens up a whole new way of finding information out about used cars. There are websites specifically created to let you know if a particular vehicle you are interested in has been in a major accident. There are also sites that can give you the value of the car you are considering. They also have websites like thecarbuyers.com.au that offer a centralised online destination where individuals can buy and sell their cars. The options are endless.
If you are considering the option to buy a used car, you may want to think fast because cars that are in great shape are snatched up quickly. People favour cars that have had only one owner because service history tends to be more consistent. You may be able to take advantage of parts that are still under warranty, if the owner has kept all the receipts.
The process of buying a used car from a private party can be a great move for the seller as well as the buyer. Using online platforms such as thecarbuyers.com.au allows for a hassle free experience.
Are there disadvantages to buying used? A few. If you prefer to lease, a used car probably isn't a viable option. By buying a used car, you may be missing out on some of the latest-and-greatest safety and technical gadgets. And, of course, there's that new car smell. Let's face it: Having a new car is a great feeling.
In the end, all of these things have a price, often several thousand dollars. Is it worth it? That's up to you – but if you're looking to stretch your car-buying dollar as far as possible, it's hard to argue against buying used.
What lifestyle do you have planned for yourself?
The top 5 tips on getting the lifestyle you've always planned
The main question people ask is "Can I meet my goal of X?" or "how do I get to Y?" When you're looking at the lifestyle you want now, over the medium term and ultimately during retirement, there's some planning that needs to be done. What do you want out of life? How much risk are you willing to take on? What happens if I get sick or ill and I can't work?
My experience is that it's all well and good to have a plan, but what will really build your wealth is discipline and implementation. It's like saying "I'm going to lose weight". If you don't do anything about it or put together a strategy to make it happen – it probably won't. Furthermore, if you don't put the plan into action, and then continually review, tweak, and assess the plan, it definitely won't happen.
So, in saying that, here are my top 5 tips on getting the lifestyle you've always planned: Read the rest of this entry »
Increased supply doesn't equal lower house prices
It's often touted as the antidote to rising house prices, but a Reserve Bank of Australia official claims that increasing housing supply won't automatically bring prices down.
Speaking on Tuesday to a real estate conference in Sydney, RBA head of financial stability Dr Luci Ellis said the desire of people to live in certain areas will result in price increases regardless of how much land is released for housing.
Dr Ellis people's desire to live in areas with established amenities in place should not be underestimated.
"Yes, some people like a bigger garden, for privacy or to enjoy in other ways," Dr Ellis told those in attendance.
"But being in the 'right' kind of neighbourhood with the best amenities, close to commercial centres and other services, is more important to most people, if their willingness to pay for it is any guide," she said.
The fact that those desirable areas present limited opportunities for buyers is the main reason prices rise and won't reversed by releasing land in other areas Dr Ellis said.
"The physical reality is that the supply of good locations is more or less fixed in the short term," she said.
"So any sizeable boost to demand cannot be fully absorbed by more supply."
Dr Ellis said this phenomenon was the reason why suburbs surrounding the desirable areas see their prices rise as gentrification takes place.
"To give a few examples, in the space of a few decades, suburbs like Paddington, Newtown and Balmain in Sydney or Fitzroy and Northcote in Melbourne went from 'scary, to edgy, to trendy, to pricey'.
"The housing stock was also renovated in this process, but most of the price action can probably be explained by the rising relative price of those locations."

De-Clutter and Organise your Finances
With the new financial year upon us, now is a good time to spring clean, de-clutter and renew your finances for a fresh start to 2015/2016. Here are a few simple steps to help de-clutter and organise your finances.
Clean out your wallet
The first step to de-cluttering your finances is to clean out and re-organise your wallet or purse. Most of us carry our ID, credit cards, money, store cards, bus passes, and other important things in our wallets on a day-to-day basis. Having a clean and organised wallet can create a positive flow on effect to all other areas of your finances. So take 2 minutes each week to clean out and process those crumpled up receipts, organise your notes and loose change, and ensure you carry only the cards you need.
Check your spending leaks
This can be an eye-opening experience and also help identify areas where you can easily save money. To recognize the leaks, try tracking all your earnings and spending over a set period – usually a month. If you pay for everything using your credit or debit card, review your latest bank statement and use it to look at your expenses.
Next, highlight any unnecessary purchases, frivolous spending patterns, and interest or late fees that can be avoided. Once identified, calculate how much this is costing you on a yearly basis and direct this money towards more important areas of your budget such as savings or paying personal debts.

Why Savings Accounts are Important
Saving money is something we all hope to do, and there are many reasons why setting up a savings account is a good idea. Anyone who has been short of ready cash will realise the difficulties that can result, such as a credit card debt spiral, inability to pay fees or fines on time, penalty payments and ongoing money worries. Of course, getting started with a savings plan is the hardest part, but even a little saved weekly or even monthly will shield you from life's unwanted surprises.
Setting a comfortable savings target is the first step. Not only will there be money aside in case of emergency, you will also feel increased satisfaction and confidence due to your disciplined savings efforts. Whether you are single or part of a family, a better and more consistent future is guaranteed when savings are available for emergency use.
Having money in the bank will provide peace of mind and the ability to ride out any down times during your career or between jobs.
Your savings account can be further divided into additional priorities and future plans such as a vacation or even a home deposit.
The first and most important consideration of a savings account is to have ready cash available for emergency use.
If possible, have around 10 percent of your salary directly deposited into your account. It will be much easier to resist temptation this way, and you will become habituated to understanding that the 10 percent is not for immediate use.
Keep on track with your plan and you will ultimately find yourself being encouraged by the savings. Try to see your savings account as a long-distance race rather than a sprint. You will eventually see a sizable balance in your savings account, and even have the opportunity to dedicate a little toward luxuries for yourself and your family.
For the sake of minor frugal living adjustments, such as fewer shop-bought coffees or meals per week, your growing savings will ensure you have a financial cushion, peace of mind, and the added confidence that, for better or worse, only money can buy. Happy saving.
What Is The Best Way to Pay for a Car Purchase?
So you'd like to buy a new set of wheels, but how should you go about paying for them?
Would you be better off paying cash or taking out a loan? What are your options when it comes to car finance?
Should You Pay Cash For a Car?
Paying cash is a great option when you have lots of it to spare. There are no borrowing costs, no repayments and you don't need to go through the process of applying for a loan.
If you don't yet have the cash on hand you'll need to budget and save. Realistically, how long will that take?
If you choose to pay cash, how sound will your finances be once you've made your purchase? Would running and servicing costs lead to cash flow problems further down the road? And would you be able to cope with any unforeseen expenses?
If you're in a position to pay with cash, it ultimately comes down to personal circumstances as to whether it's the best option or not. Just be sure to consider your other options. Read the rest of this entry »

Date of Stay: July, 2008
We stayed here over the Holiday for a week. This is just one of those parks that wow you. They have beach front access and beautiful grass lots. The owners have been in this business a long time, and you can tell from the way they run the park. A very nice family park located centrally in Silver Lake. You don't have to walk far to get anywhere. I highly recommend it.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
My family and I just stayed at this park, and I was surprised at the poor review it received. The park was one of the cleanest parks I've ever stayed in. The restrooms were most certainly five star hotel worthy. I've never seen facilities that nice for a park. The park was cleaned by staff day and night not to mention the restrooms and heated pool. Quiet hours were from 11pm to 8am, and it was nice to have a park that enforced this. This is a beautiful park, and I would highly recommend it to family and friends. The area was especially beautiful with lots to do for families.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
We camped here back in 2008. It's your typical state park camping, but we and the kids enjoyed it. There was nice shade; bathrooms were so so. I would recommend it among the state parks.

Shot Peening - Interesting Read
Saw this on shot-peening. I was trying to get idea of exactly what it is and why it is good. Thought I would share from mrtrally.com
" MRT Shot Peening
Shot peening is the process of cold forming the surface of a part by means of a propelled stream of round hardened steel shot. The result of this process is a uniformly dimpled surface, the roughness being determined by the shot size and the peening intensity. The process is non-abrasive.
The shot peening process is used to improve the fatigue properties of the part by the introduction of compression forces in the surface layer. The presence of this surface compressive force serves to retard the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks.
Fatigue failures are easily recognised, and almost always start from a focal point on the surface. These focal points are stress raisers such as fillets, holes, keyways, seams, laps, tool marks, scratches or structure variations. When fatigue failures are encountered these stress raisers should be eliminated where possible.
The size of the shot used is related to the size of the smallest fillets / openings that the shot must penetrate, and the peening intensity required. The peening intensity is monitored regularly by the use and measurement of Almen test strips. The peening intensity is normally selected from military specification S-13165A, on the basis of the material strength and the section thickness. The recommendations are based on the lowest peening intensity capable of producing the desired surface compressive stress. The intensity may be considered excessive in thin parts if the tensile forces in the core material outweigh the beneficial compressive forces induced at the surface.
The process should not be confused with shot blasting which is a cleaning process using broken shot as an abrasive. The surface finish resulting from shot blasting is coarse, and can result in a reduction in the fatigue performance of the part.
Reported increases in the life of springs are in the order of 400% to 1200%, depending on the extent of peening already imparted on the spring. Peening of valve springs from a vintage engine resulted in an increase in the installed spring pressure, and an extension of life of an otherwise irreplaceable part.
Shot peening increases the fatigue life of gears, and case histories have revealed over 500% increase in life. Other tests on drive pinions give 40% to 414% life increases with peening. In many instances satisfactory transmission or rear axle gears are shot peened, and then the loads increased under racing conditions.
Other parts that are shot peened include conrods, axles, torsion bars, marine propellers and rudders, and exhaust megaphones. All have benefited from increased fatigue life, or an increase in service loads.
Previously peened parts that exhibit damage that has been dressed back (eg. conrods dressed after a lifter failure) can be re-peened to restore their original fatigue resistance.
The peening process also has applications in forming hardened materials, and straightening bent parts.
After peening the material should not be heat-treated, machined or straightened, as the effectiveness of the peening process will be reduced."

The acai berry has been used for thousands of years by the natives of the Brazilian rainforests. They believe that the acai has special powers. Modern science has discovered many nutrients in the acai berry, including high concentrations of antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, along with vitamin B1 (Thiamine), vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), vitamin B3 (Niacin), iron, potassium, phosphorous and calcium. It's the high antioxidant, free radical fighting power that makes the acai so popular today.

Will a little college insulate you in this recession? Maybe not.
We know that people with high school educations or less get hit harder in economic downturns and the Great Recession is proving that.
But the last few years have also widened the gap between people with some college and those with a four year degree or more.
Plowing through U.S. unemployment data today, we started looking at education levels and were surprised to see how jobless rates have worsened for people with some college compared to those who've been able to finish a bachelor's or better.
I'm struck by the gap between the unemployment rate of people with some college but no degree and those with a bachelor's. The "some college" jobless rate isn't much better than the rate for people with only a high school degree.
Ten years ago, there was less than a two percentage point difference in the unemployment rate of people with a bachelor's or better compared to those with some college and no degree.
The data also raise some concerns for all those folks who've returned to college. Enrollment in Minnesota's state's two year community and technical college system jumped by more than 10,000 students during 2008 and 2009.
We don't have updated unemployment rates by education for the state. But if the breakdown is similar to the nation, there may be a lot of folks who thought they were better protected than they were against the Great Recession.
BONUS: Here are links to the raw data used in the charts. If we've made any errors, drop us a line and let us know and we'll correct.

ASENATH by Anna Patricio
Book Description:
Two Destinies...One Journey of Love
In a humble fishing village on the shores of the Nile lives Asenath, a fisherman's daughter who has everything she could want. Until her perfect world is shattered.
When a warring jungle tribe ransacks the village and kidnaps her, separating her from her parents, she is forced to live as a slave. And she begins a journey that will culminate in the meeting of a handsome and kind steward named Joseph.
Like her, Joseph was taken away from his home, and it is in him that Asenath comes to find solace...and love. But just as they are beginning to form a bond, Joseph is betrayed by his master's wife and thrown into prison.
Is Asenath doomed to a lifetime of losing everything and everyone she loves?
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I thought the author did a wonderful job of bringing to life a woman we know little about. It's really Asenath's journey and how it intersects with Joseph. I liked the way she portrayed Joseph. He was really just as I would have imagined him to be. The story is written in first person from Asenath's point of view. Although the first person POV is not my favorite, I really felt it worked for this story. As a reader, we were able to get a glimpse into the Egyptian culture and what they believed. I don't often read Biblical fiction but this is one I would definitely recommend. As the author points out in her note at the end of the book, little is know about Asenath so she was able to let her imagination run wild. I thought she came up with a very believable story and one I really enjoyed reading. A thank you goes to the author for providing me with a complimentary copy for my review.

GSoC: Copy, Cut, and Paste Shared Files in ownCloud
As usual I ran into a couple more issues this past week that prevented me from completing many of the items on my Todo list. I also forgot to finish a couple of things like copying files, because it isn't part of the web frontend.
First, I'd like to take some time responding to Lukas's comment to last week's post. I've spent a while debating whether or not to store all file records in the database or continue with the current solution with only recording folders and any files that differ compared to their parent folder. I've decided that it is best to stick with current solution because ownCloud isn't designed nor wants to support a large number of users, but only small groups. Lukas also suggested some additional permissions or rules instead of the current read or write. Well, protected files are what every user has in their own directory. Private files with links are what the public link app can already do using a token for the link. Eventually this will be part of sharing files and offer the same functionality in one interface. Shared files right now are pulled directly out of the owner's file system, but you have limited power when dealing with those files and can't physically delete them, only unshare the files from yourself. Creating copies of the files would require a huge rewrite and it doesn't seem to be worth the effort. If you're still confused about how sharing files work and where your files are going please continue to ask questions.
Now, this past week figuring out how to copy files took a very long time and revealed many bugs along the way. I was using Dolphin and connected to ownCloud using WebDAV and I tried to copy a file from my shared directory that was actually my dummy user Bob's file to my own filesystem root. Each time I received a 404 error, which didn't make sense because ownCloud's filesystem abstraction makes WebDAV see the same filesystem as the web frontend. I started logging the path translation occuring inside of the file_exists() function in the shared storage provider, and to my suprise the target and source path were the same. Turns out that I made a mistake during some of my previous testing in the database, which resolved the 404 error, but I shouldn't be getting the same target back with my getSource() function. Yet again I had made another dumb mistake and forgotten to check if a variable was false before returning it as part of a string. This wasn't the end of the bugs however, I still couldn't copy files out of my shared directory and I wasn't getting any errors in Dolphin now. Looking into my web server's error log I discovered that there was an undefined variable inside of the local storage provider. The problem was a missing argument for the function fromTmpFile(). Now everything works perfectly and the good part is that this will benefit other storage providers because copying was broken when it was between two different storage providers.
I'm a little curious now why my IDE (Eclipse) or anyone else's IDEs didn't flag that line. There was clearly a problem because the function had two parameters and only one variable was passed to it. Is there something that I'm missing about PHP support in Eclipse because I thought problems were marked automatically? I like Eclipse because I've used it for Android development, but now I'm considering switching to something different that will actually help me out and show me the problems in the code. Does anyone have any IDE suggestions?
Back to my actual project, I now have copying and cutting of files working in and out of the shared directory with permission checks as well. Unfortunately WebDAV doesn't notify Dolphin about the permissions it has for the files and folders. Usually the paste option in the right-click menu is disabled if I can't write into a folder, but Dolphin tries to copy files anyways until the permission checks inside of the shared storage kick in and stop the copying. Is there a way to have WebDAV pass on this information and is there a way to have it provide image previews as well? I hope to finally start working on hooks and a basic user interface for sharing files within the web frontend this week. I'll try my best this week to have a screenshot in the next post and instructions on how to help test!

When the cartilage surface is no longer smooth' the bones rub together' causing friction. Over time' this friction can cause pain' swelling' and even eventual deformities. This wear and tear occurs mostly in your hands' feet' spine' hips' and knees.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM
I recently switched to Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM by Protocol Life Balance because of the ease of ordering online through Pureformulas instead of purchasing for $5 more from my doctor.
The price.

Second bottle of Glucosamine Chondroitin
I ordered Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM because I trust Protocol for Life Balance products. My husband had bad pain in his thumb & trouble sleeping with this pain so told me to order Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM. When the first bottle was getting low he told me to order another as it is helping him very much.
It works!

This sparkling ceiling light features the glow of hand-cut lead crystals firmly set into a wrought iron frame enhanced by an antique style English bronze.More Details >
From the Paris Flea Market Collection comes this semi-flushmount ceiling light fixture. Features an English bronze finish on wrought iron and hand-cut lead crystal. Has lots of sparkle and stylish detailing.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This is a stunningly beautiful, but small, chandelier. It's rather difficult to see some of its gorgeous attributes as it is close to the ceiling and I only have an 8' ceiling.
This looks great and it's a good way to get the look of crystal without a huge chandelier.
I put this in my daughter's closet and it's just beautiful. The look is very european and elegant and the crystals just give it a wonderful shine.

Road to Battlefield 3 - Part 1
By AhmadMetallic 67 Comments
We're about three months away from the Battlefield 3 release.
This is what i consider the beginning of the last phase of fan anticipation and developer announcements.
Up until last week, we were in the second phase where we knew enough about the game to have a general idea of it, and we even got hands on the game in the the Alpha Trial to see how the game feels and handles.
Now that we're in the beginning of the last phase, where we only need a few more things confirmed in/out, and where we need to see the second main mode of the game (conquest mode), and finally get our hands on the beta,I thought i'd create this three-part blog:
*Part 1 (this entry) will revolve around new random information. Everything we're able to gather before GamesCom
*Part 2 will discuss BF3's appearance at GamesCom, which is promised to be huge and full of surprises.
*Part 3 will be about the beta, in the few weeks leading to the game's release.
So let's begin!
This blog is filled with good news!
Based on DICE's negligence to the PC in the last 5 years, including a poorly optimized console port last year, and after seeing several developers ditch their unique design styles and spew out money-grabbing explosion-filled run-and-gun gallery killfests, I didn't have much hope in Battlefield 3 when it was announced. 5 years without a PC title? the console-oriented BC2 ? the CODmania that is allowing developers to half-ass their products and sell them for full price? Why on earth would i think that BF3 will have anything to do with its pre-MW tactical team-based predecessor ? All the indicators of the developer's recent history, and the industry, point otherwise. It only made sense to think negatively of the title.
However , more and more good news (or rumors) has been surfacing, which is giving many old fans some hope.
Secret Alpha Trial Files & Promising TweetsThanks to a tip from my GB friend Darksaw , in addition to several threads on the official forums, there have been a few people who've been digging deep into the alpha trial files on their PCs and came across some really interesting and promising information!
1. Multiplayer has 12 maps!!
This is the first thing that caught my attention and made me reconsider about the game's direction. 12 multiplayer maps on day 1 just like BF2, and unlike BC2's 6-7 maps? That is really great news.
- Testrange_Rome_MP05
- MP_005 (Rome)
- MP_005SR (Rome)
- 12 different multiplayer maps, some of which have more than one size/version, which makes the total mp map amount 20.
- There's an mp map called Rome
- The game modes we can see are SR, CQ, GR and SDM. What could they mean? Well, for now, lets focus on the important mode, Conquest. As you can see, there are 10 conquest maps in Battlefield 3, two of which don't have any other size versions (conquest exclusives).
2. Game modes:
- teamdeathmatch
- teams_small
- teams_large
- conquest_small (CQ)
- conquest_large (CQ)
- squadrush (SR)
- squaddeathmatch (SDM)
- rush (GR?)
- KingOfTheHill (As written in Alpha Config)
Wait, did someone say King of the Hill ? WAT THE FU--
3. Battlerecorder: One of the reasons games like Halo and Call of Duty are very user-friendly and youtube-friendly is because they have their integrated easy-to-use theater modes that allow players to video capture their matches, pause, rewind, fastforward, toggle camera and view, etc.. and create awesome montages without having to go through running Fraps, encoding and compressing their videos, etc..
Well, thanks to BF3 brand manager Kevin O'leary, who said in an interview that Battlerecorder is not included, Zh1nt0 (community manager) had to come out and say otherwise
Zh1nt0 mentioned several times that DICE are aiming for the E-Sports audience again, so all we needed was a confirmation that Battlerecorder and Spectate mode are in, and there you have it :D
Here's an alpha video showing spectate mode, it's sooooooo awesome:
(Don't mind the video's title)
4. Rewarding teamwork properly :
A) When it comes to in-game awards (ribbons and medals), DICE have regained my trust. They have a full catalogue listing tens of ribbons and medals, which rewardeverything you do on the Battlefield, not just killing and blowing shit up
B) However, we still do not know whether the end-of-round stat screens will give any attention to those who worked for their team's benefit. I hope those KD/R and Killstreak stats will get mixed with Flag Capture and Repair stats and the like..
There's even a new award system called Service Stars, you can read all about this on the latest Battleblog .
5. Vehicles: DICE seem to be stepping up their game when it comes to the combat vehicles they're using in the game! (taken from another source )
Here's a taste of the game's vehicles:
- HMVWW (Humvee)
- AH-6 & MH-6 Little Bird
- SH-60B Seahawk (blackhawk)
- M1A1 husk (obviously)
- Harrier
- A10 Warthog
- Shilka
6. Commo Rose: (this is what a Commo Rose is)
I'll just leave this here -
Let me try to express how i feel..
7. Singleplayer & Authenticity: I was doubtful of DICE's ability to create a single player component that is worth playing, especially after learning that this game willalso feature russians, and that the novel being written by Andy McNab is even entitled "The Russian"
However, after learning that the game will have 13 different single player maps, in addition to the many interviews and news articles on the sp campaign and the book, i can clearly see that DICE are determined to give us an unprecedentedly authentic and "emotional" experience of the life in the military. They wanna give us that feel and they wanna do it right.. Can't deny that i'm officially excited to play BF3 single player.
8. Bullet damage has been reduced, health regeneration has been slowed down (and it freezes when suppressed). They also tweaked the sniper scope glint and the sniper rifle sway.. I'm glad they care about the little things. They're also working on 3D spotting..
9. Unlocks: According to the latest Battleblog (linked above ^), the game has 10 times the amount of unlockables of Bad Company 2. Apparently, vehicle unlocks have their own trees!
This of course is very exciting news that will keep the game feeling fresh and progressive.
10. Factions: Some other findings where the L96A1, L86, L86 LSW and the final vehicle they found in some random stuff was the Jackel, which is a British vehicle. This might mean that there will be a third faction in the game! (not just US vs. RUS). At least as DLC ..
Also, the Back to Karkand DLC is said to be "the size of Bad Company 2: Vietnam". Not only does it have the 4 BF2 maps but also all of its original weapons and vehicles.. which leads to believe that those maps will have the original MEC faction in them!
So that's US and Russia (confirmed), MEC in the game's first DLC (kinda confirmed), and maybe even the British Forces (based on hidden files)
I hope you enjoyed this blog entry! Tell me what you think, and thanks for reading.
I'll leave you with this videoMake sure to keep a tissue box near you. Things are about to get intense

Diversity Counts: Ask Congress to Restore International Education Funding!
We are asking that Congress approve a $4 million increase for Title VI programs in this year's Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill. This increase will restore funding for The Institute for International Public Policy Fellowship, a Title VI program that seeks to enhance U.S. national security and global competitiveness by preparing students from underrepresented groups for international affairs careers.
The Institute for International Public Policy Fellowship (IIPP) has cultivated a generation of highly skilled professionals that are multilingual, socially responsible and represent the broad spectrum of America's diversity.
Without funding, the IIPP Fellowship, which provided educational and career development opportunities for young, talented individuals for over 16 years, will end. Congress' decision to cut this program represents an abandonment of its commitment to increasing diversity in government, especially in foreign policy.
Since its inception, IIPP has provided funding for study abroad and advanced graduate degrees to over 350 fellows. Fellows have risen to senior positions in the State Department, foreign policy think tanks, political office, international non-governmental organizations, academia, and the private sector.
Many current and former members of the U.S. State Department have recognized how critical diversity is to US foreign policy objectives and have committed their careers to increasing it. As former Secretary of State Colin Powell once said, "America overseas ought to look more like America at home."
Letitia Long, who played a crucial role in the Bin Laden Mission in Pakistan and is Director of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency has said, "What I want to accomplish is that it is natural for women and minorities to be in leadership positions across the intelligence community... I would like to be at a point where we are no longer saying,[she or he is] 'the first.'"
The U.S. government has attested to the advantages of having a more diverse work force and has actively supported these efforts for years. Tell Congress that its actions should continue to support the view that diversity is an asset to U.S. foreign policy interests.
With your help, the IIPP Fellowship will continue to provide a talent pool of well-trained, language-proficient professionals from which U.S. international affairs agencies and organizations can draw highly qualified personnel at a time when diversity is proving to be a great asset to U.S. foreign policy interests.

I just signed the following petition addressed to: House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, & Education.
Diversity Counts: Ask Congress to Restore International Education Funding
Dear Chairman Rehberg and Ranking Member DeLauro:
As you begin work on the Fiscal Year 2013 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education Appropriations bill, we respectfully request that you provide $72.3 million for Title VI programs, a $4 million increase from the current level of $68.3 million contained in the President's budget. This increase will restore funding for The Institute for International Public Policy Fellowship Program (IIPP), a program of the United Negro College Fund Special Programs Corporation (UNCFSP).
The IIPP Fellowship program enhances U.S. national security and global competitiveness by promoting excellence, international service, and awareness among a representative cross-section of the American citizenry. The Institute was established in 1994 with a multi-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education, awarded pursuant to Title VI of the Higher Education Act.
The IIPP Fellowship program addresses the identified national need to create a more diverse talent pool of well-trained, language-proficient professionals from which U.S. international affairs agencies and organizations can draw highly qualified personnel. The Institute also offers a Faculty Fellows Program and Curriculum Development, Implementation, and Sustainability (CDIS) Grants to assist faculty from Minority Serving Institutions to enhance or create curricula on Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs), area studies, international relations, and other relevant subjects.
This six-year intensive program has provided more than 350 minority students with education and training experiences critical to entry and advancement in international affairs careers. This program has produced both congressional foreign policy and Congressional Research Service minority staff in recent years and will continue to offer employment opportunities in international careers for minorities and others at a time when diversity is proving to be a great asset to U.S. foreign policy interests.
We appreciate your continued leadership on these issues and respectfully ask that you provide $72.3 million in FY2013 for Title VI programs.

A buddy of mine (fellow CCW holder) claims that in locations posted as no firearms allowed AND that sell firearms and / or ammunition, the signs have the force of law and one who doesn't see / ignores them could face criminal prosecution merely for carrying there.
My understanding (but my google-fu is weak today) is that the signs are only suggestions and only if one is spotted and refuses to leave the premises, would face criminal trespass charges. No charges could be filed for having a legal gun (with a legit permit) despite the sign.
I am not talking about Official Gun Free Zones (Victim Disarmament Zones) like schools, courtrooms, prisons, sterile zone at the airport; only businesses posting "no firearms".
Could someone help with the appropriate statutes regarding these areas?
Our point of contention regards Bass Pro Shops.

The Cincinnati Reds have been contending all year, but their recent seven-game winning streak has catapulted them closer to the National League's best record. On the morning of July 6, the Reds were sitting at 44-38 and two games behind the Pirates in the NL Central. Winners of 14 of their last 16 games, they own first place, and sit just a game back of the league-lead Nationals. They're doing it with pitching, led by staff ace Johnny Cueto (12-5, 2.23 ERA). The Reds have allowed three runs or fewer in 10 of the 13 games since the break, adding up to a 2.59 ERA since the All-Star game. Those type of performances have helped Cincinnati offset the absense of Joey Votto's bat, out since mid-July with a torn meniscus.
The Miami Marlins did quite the sell job when attempting to raise support for a new stadium project. The fireworks of opening night, the new uniforms, it was all supposed to add up to a winning formula for a franchise so desperate for an identity. Nabbing Ozzie Guillen and Mark Buerhle from the Windy City, while somehow luring free agent prize Jose Reyes away from the Mets, this was supposed to be a contender. That hasn't happened, and the knee-jerk reaction by front office decision makers have many fans scratching their heads. With Hanley Ramirez being shipped off to Los Angeles, and John Johnson being thrown around in trade talks, Miami has once again pulled off the old bait-and-switch.
Speaking of falling apart, that Astros have lost all hope for a respectable campaign with their current ten-game losing streak. Going 2-23 since June 28, this team not expected to do anything had nonethless gotten off to a decent start. Now trading away two of their better pitchers, the 'Stros has officially waved the white flag. During this slide, the Astros' pitching staff has allowed eight runs or more a half-dozen times already. Wandy Rodriguez (7-9, 3.79 ERA) was dealt Monday to the contending Pirates, while J.A. Happ is now pitching in Toronto after being traded from the Phillies last Friday. Ironically enough, the last two pitchers to win a game for the Astros during the 2-23 skid? Rodriguez and Happ.
With Milwaukee losing seven straight and falling out of the wild-card race, the Zack Greinke watch is on. It is no longer a question of if, but when, and where, the former Cy Young winner gets traded. It's a good bet that Greinke stays in the National League, with clubs like Atlanta and the Dodgers looking for that extra arm. Aramis Ramirez will also get a look-see, but not because the Brewers would be actively shopping him. Fresh off signing a three-year deal in December, the former Cub would provide a reasonable price tag for teams looking to fill a hole. The Yankees would have seemed like a possiblity with Alex Rodriguez sidelined with the broken left hand, but New York is content having Eric Chavez at third.
While AT&T has always been regarded as a pitcher's park, this season's home/road splits have been noticably significant for the Giants. Madison Bumgarner leads the staff with 11 wins, going 7-1 with a 1.89 ERA at home. The numbers fluctuate downward, though, once the left-hander hits the road, ballooning to a 4-5 record and a 4.24 ERA. Barry Zito has identical 4-3 records at home and on the road. But his 3.09 ERA in San Francisco is markedly lower than the 4.40 ERA he's tossing up on the road. Ryan Vogelsong (5-2, 1.41 vs. 3-2, 3.35) and Matt Cain (5-2, 1.96 vs. 5-1, 3.56) are also dominant at home, suggesting that the Giants would do well securing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.731493

The "stuffed paunch of an ass" was a delicacy of ancient Athens.
Mortadella is the original bologna - a very large smoked sausage (usually pork) from Bologna, Italy, studded with cubes of pork fat, peppercorns and/or pistachios and/or green olives. American bologna (boloney) is a very poor imitation.
Mortadella probably dates back to the 15th century, and the original recipes included myrtle, 'mortella' in Italian, hence the name.

It's great for all sorts of holidays too all the way from Christmas to St. Patrick's day or even Easter! There really aren't many negatives to the stuff this color symbolizes.
So if you're lacking just a little bit in the green department just grab this nifty bandana and you'll be ready to tear it up in whatever outfit you're wearing including but certainly not limited to a leprechaun, tough biker, hippy, or even a cowboy/girl!

Lack of form on the road is killing any playoff hopes for the Phoenix.
In eight games across the Tasman in the A-League this season, Wellington have won only once - 3-0 against Newcastle in round seven.
The Phoenix, in eight games, have scored 10 goals but conceded 15 and picked up just five points.
Overall, in 5 seasons in the league, the story is just as bleak for Ricki Herbert and the Phoenix. In 67 away games they have won only 14. On just one occasion, in January/February last season when they edged Gold Coast, Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United by the odd goal, have they won back-to-back on the road.
The repeated trips across the Tasman do play a part but they are not taking advantage when playing at home. The Phoenix have played seven home games this season for just three wins.
In seven home games the Phoenix have scored barely a goal-a-game in sinking nine and at the same time have conceded seven.
Back at Westpac Stadium on Sunday for a second crack at the Western Sydney Wanderers, the Phoenix must hold some hope. They will again be without midfield hard man Manny Muscat as he serves the second of a three-match suspension but will have Tyler Boyd back after his one-match ban.
The referees were again in the spotlight in round 15 matches with a number of coaches bemoaning decisions which were at best dubious.
Phoenix striker Louis Fenton fell to one such call when referee Ben Williams carded him for simulation (diving) when it was clear there was contact.
Worse, the officials got it wrong in Sunday's second match of the weekend at AAMI Park when Melbourne Heart went 2-0 ahead after 35 minutes when Josip Tadic's strike stood despite replays showing he was clearly offside. The Heart went on to win 3-2 over the Brisbane Roar.
Wanderers coach Tony Popovic blasted referee Chris Beath for his handling of the game in the 2-0 loss to league leaders Central Coast with Mariners coach Graham Arnold later admitting his team "might have got the rub of the green" from Beath.
The match of round 16 will be Saturday's clash between third-placed Melbourne Victory and the Mariners at Tasmania's Aurora Stadium in Launceston - a ground at which the Victory drew 1-1 with Gold Coast last season.

The health care reform bill that made it through the House of Representatives last month didn't exactly win rave reviews from the pro-choice camp, and now it's the Senate's turn to have it out over whether government-subsidized health care should ever include coverage for abortions and, if so, under what circumstances that should be allowed. —KA
The amendment by moderate Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska would mirror language from the health care bill passed by the House last month that prevents any health plan receiving federal subsidies from offering coverage for abortion. It was unclear if a Senate vote on Nelson's amendment would occur Monday.
Anti-abortion legislators say the House language that Nelson seeks to adopt maintains the current level of restriction by preventing any federal funding for abortion, except in the case of rape, incest or a threat to the life of the mother.
Opponents of the tougher language say the amended language would expand the current level of restriction because women receiving coverage under a federally subsidized health care plan would be barred from purchasing abortion coverage with their own money.

This was my summer internship project at Cloudera, and I'm very thankful for the level of support and mentorship I've received from the Apache HBase community. I started off in June with a very limited knowledge of both HBase and distributed systems in general, and by September, managed to get this patch committed to HBase trunk. I couldn't have done this without a phenomenal amount of help from Cloudera and the greater HBase community.

How I found Apache Hadoop
This is a guest post contributed by Loren Siebert. Loren is a San Francisco entrepreneur and software developer, and is currently the technical lead for the USASearch program.
A year ago I rolled my first Apache Hadoop system into production. Since then, I've spoken to quite a few people who are eager to try Hadoop themselves in order to solve their own big data problems. Despite having similar backgrounds and data problems,
My Internship at Cloudera
David joined us as part of our intern program, and built the prototype for the distributed log search functionality that's available as part of Cloudera Manager 3.7. He did an awesome job, and wrote the following blog post which, now that CM3.7 has been released, we're pleased to publish.
The project
My intern project was to build a log searching tool, specialized for Apache Hadoop. My mini-app allows Hadoop cluster admins and operators to search their error logs across many machines,
Hadoop World 2011: A Glimpse into Development

My Summer Internship at Cloudera
This post was written by Daniel Jackoway following his internship at Cloudera during the summer of 2011.
When I started my internship at Cloudera, I knew almost nothing about systems programming or Apache Hadoop, so I had no idea what to expect. The most important lesson I learned is that structured data is great as long as it is perfect, with the addendum that it is rarely perfect.
My project was to develop a unified view of our customer data.

Here's your chance to own a little bit of presidential aviation history. A 40-year-old DC9 transported high-level government officials and their staff members from February 1975 to September 2005.
The State Department has been storing the aircraft and its sister, which was recently donated to a museum in Oregon, at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport for about a year and a half.
"They selected Gateway Airport for our dry climate, the long runways to get the aircraft in and out safely and it's secure," said Brian Sexton, a Gateway Airport spokesman.
Although presidents may have ridden on the aircraft at some point, the DC9 was more commonly used for vice presidents, first ladies, Cabinet members, members of Congress and other government personnel.
The airplane definitely gets a lot of attention at the airport.
"We parked the DC9 close to our passenger terminal, and for about a year, we've had passengers come and go and ask about it. It's been generating a lot of attention," Sexton said.
Despite its age, the airplane is in very good condition. The inside features a 10-seat VIP cabin, a full galley and a rear cabin with 32 first class-style seats. There are only about 700 hours on each engine and they're fired up at least once a month.
"It's rather unusual for an airplane to have this kind of history up for public auction. And to have it in Mesa and the Phoenix backyard - it's really exciting for all the people in the Valley to come out and see an airplane that has such history up close, it's pretty cool," Sexton said.
The starting bid is $50,000, and all bids must be received by Thursday, May 30.
