Just start shaking your head now. Because you still haven't heard it all. Even if it is legal, it still reeks like a full refrigerator 30 days after electricity was shut off.
Here's the deal. The property owners are 12 months behind on homes association or condo fees. The condo association enforces its lien and gets a judgment against the owner. Then the condo association proceeds to enforce its lien by foreclosing the property and forcing its sale.
Investors, potential buyers gather at the court house steps to bid on the unit for sale. Starting price is the amount due the homes association for back dues and fees. Overcome with giddiness, the buyers bid the property up until one wins the bid for, say, $20,000.
What does the winning bidder get? He or she gets title to the property. Woo Hoo!
Is it a clean title? Nooo! We are learning to call it a "dirty deed." That is because Aardvark Mortgage Company still holds a $400,000 mortgage on the property.
Why would anybody want to win that bid then? After all, if the prior owners were behind on the HOA fees, they were probably behind on the mortgage, too. The lender already has or soon would start foreclosure procedures.
Even if the loan is not delinquent, every mortgage I ever read says that if title is transferred without lender approval and without paying off the loan, it will result in default. If the loan goes into default, the lender may foreclose.
By the way, did I mention you MUST check with your attorney regarding all these issues?
So, now the winning bidder is the proud owner of a "dirty deed." What's the plan, Sam? The intent would be to rent the place. For this to work, the investors must be able to rent the dwelling long enough to recover the bid price and to cover HOA fees and taxes.
The unsuspecting renters have no idea that a "beat the clock" game is underway between the new owners and the old lender. Imagine their surprise after paying first month's rent, last month's rent and security deposit when the bank sends them notice a few months later that they have to move out. And, the bank, channeling Sgt Schultz of Hogan's Heroes fame ("I know nothing! I know nothing!") has no clue where the tenant's last month's rent and security deposit is.
Here are three possible parachutes for the tenants. First, check out your landlords. How long have they owned the property? Is the ink still wet on the deed?
Second, be especially suspicious if the landlord won't sign a 12-month lease. Some new foreclosure regulations require the lenders to honor the remaining term of a lease even if they foreclose.
Third, believe it or not, National Mortgage News reported April 24, 2013 that "Banks have begun walking away from thousands of vacant properties after beginning foreclosure then dropping the cases because they don't want to be on the hook for maintaining abandoned properties."
RealtyTrac also reported that 35 percent of the one million homes currently in the foreclosure process are vacant with the bank not having claimed title to them.
Bear in mind, it is a two-step process. Step one is for the lender gets a judgment for the money owed. Step two is to foreclose and get possession of the dwelling.
These banks are saying, "before we snatch this property, let's think it over." They have to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs, HOA fees. What's the rush?
For the investors buying these "dirty deeds" and the renters, this has the ring of Las Vegas.

The Vinoba Bhave (VB) Nagar police, who are investigating the alleged sexual assault of a six-year-old boy from a Kurla-based school, have learnt that the victim's parents had given a written complaint to his school about two classmates harassing him by teasing him constantly.
The letter was given to school authorities on March 18, the day the incident allegedly took place. The two students mentioned in the complaint given to the school are the ones whose names have been given by the victim's mother, along with that of the school bus attendant, to the police, in connection with the alleged sexual assault of the victim.
An officer investigating the matter, talking on condition of anonymity, said: "We have learnt that on March 18, the victim's parents had complained to the school about the two boys. They alleged that the two boys teased their son."
The police have also questioned the 18-year-old bus attendant. "We have questioned the attendant. However, nothing substantial has come out of it," the officer said.
The police are now awaiting the medical report of the victim that will be supplied after an examination carried out by a team of six doctors from Nair Hospital. "There are several unanswered questions in the case. While there are some injury marks on the victim's body, we are yet to ascertain if they hint at a sexual assault. The medical report scheduled to come on Monday will throw some light on these ambiguities," the officer said.
While the police had asked the school for CCTV camera footage to aid the probe, an officer said it may not be very useful, as the school stores CCTV footage only for eight days, and the alleged incident took place more than eight days ago.
The police reportedly tried to speak to the boy with the help of a child psychiatrist. "We tried talking to the boy for two hours but he did not tell us anything about the alleged incident," the officer said.

Your comprehensive guide to broadband price comparison
There are many different elements within each broadband internet plan on the market. Read over our broadband comparison guide below; it will provide you with the upper hand to successfully completing this tough decision making process.
You've started to look around at all the broadband internet plans on the market, but choosing the right one is proving to be more difficult than first anticipated. Each plan has numerous variables and features making it quite hard to decipher which plan would be the best one to suit your individual needs.
Everyone in the world will tell you the most important element to a broadband plan is how much you pay for it. The challenge for consumers begins when we take into account each plan's time frame, cost for equipment, cost for usage, plus download speed and data limits. You are probably going to have to grab a calculator, as there are numerous mathematical factors to consider before signing onto a broadband contract's dotted line.
What's available in your location?
Each provider offers different kinds of broadband from various telephone exchanges, so your first step is to find out what each company can offer you at your location. You will have the choice between four speeds of ADSL broadband, ADSL2+ broadband, Mobile Wireless broadband via a mobile phone tower, or satellite broadband.
Decision-making factors:
After ascertaining who can provide the type of service you desire, you'll need to calculate a number of factors. These are: line activation/contract set-up fees, monthly access charge, modem/equipment fees, possible excess usage charges or shaping speed, potential cancellation or transfer fees, changing of plan fees, download limits, connection speed, on and off-peak time periods, and if applicable, both telephone line rental charge and the cost of phone calls. This may sound like a lot to consider, but it's not as complex as you might imagine!
1. Line activation/Contract set-up fee:
Internet service providers usually have a one-off fee they charge to set-up your service. This fee often reflects expenses the service provider needs to cover in order to activate a port at your local phone exchange. Sometimes contract set-up fees can be waived if you choose a contract with a longer length, E.G. 18-24 months. If you're already on an ADSL connection, you may be able to do a 'churn' (rapid transfer), which usually involves a lower contract set-up fee, and less time to activate the new service.
2. Monthly access charge:
This is simply how much you are charged for internet access each month. Figure out what your budget is and do your best not to go over your limit!
3. Modem/equipment fees:
If you don't already own one, you may need to pay for a modem/router for either an ADSL, ADSL2+, or Mobile Wireless connection. There is quite a difference in price for machines sold by the different companies, and there are many modem types, not to mention levels of quality, so ensure you are getting what you pay for. Some providers offer free modem/routers if you are going on a long contract. There are also other pieces of equipment you can buy, like line filters, or reception enhancing antennae for Mobile Wireless, so find out the costs accordingly if any are needed.
4. Excess usage charges:
Many internet providers charge for excess usage if you reach your plan's download limit. These charges can range anywhere from 50 cents a Gigabyte all the way to 15 cents a Megabyte (which is equal to $150 per GB!) This aspect of a plan is very important to be conscious of, as excess charges can blow out to thousands of dollars if you are on the wrong type of plan. Not all providers charge for excess usage, with some shaping your connection speed (slowing it down) when you reach your capped limit.
5. Shaping Speed:
If your plan is shaped (slowed down) when you reach your download limit (instead of having excess charges), you'll need to find out what the shaping speed is. Shaping speeds can range anywhere from 64kbps (dial-up speed!) up to 4mbps/4,000kbps. The faster the shaping speed the better as your internet experience will be less affected after reached your download limit.
6. Cancellation fees:
Ask providers how much they charge for an early cancellation from their service. Some providers like Exetel have a flat fee, E.g. $100, whereas others like TPG charge up to $350, depending on how many months remain on your plan. Some companies may make you pay for the entire remaining amount on your plan!
7. Transfer fees:
If you suddenly have to move to a new address, but want to keep the same broadband plan, you'll probably have to pay a transfer fee. This is of course conducive upon whether or not the same service is available at your new residence. Transfer fees can range anywhere between approximately $45 and $145, with charges being related to what type of broadband type you change to, E.g. From ADSL to ADSL2+, an ADSL phone bundle to Naked DSL etc.
8. Changing of plan fees:
Whether you are under contract or not, your provider may charge for downgrading or upgrading your plan. When upgrading to pay for more data each month, it is often free to make the change. However, if you are changing the speed of your plan, a fee is usually involved. Downgrading a plan almost always incurs some sort of penalty. As these fees can range from as little as $25 all the way up to $115, it's worth finding out beforehand.
9. Download limits:
This is basically how much you can use your broadband connection each month. Every time you go online it uses up your download limit, and it uses a lot more data when you download songs or watch YouTube videos. Plans have limits ranging from 200Mb to 200Gb (1,000 times more!), and these days, unlimited plans are not unheard of (check TPG and AAPT).
10. Connection speed:
This is a very important aspect of your broadband internet connection as it determines how fast you can interact on the web, as well as how long it takes for things to buffer, load up, or download. Broadband speeds range from 256kbps all the way up to ADSL2+ speeds of 24,000kbps, but if ADSL2+ isn't available in your area, it's recommended to get at least an ADSL 1,500kbps speed.
11. On and off-peak times:
Some plans' included download limits are accessible 24 hours a day, but others only offer an on and off-peak time scheme. These off-peak periods can make up a large proportion of the total download quota, but in some cases are only accessible in the middle of the night. Off-peak times can range from 2am-8am up to 12am-2pm, so make sure you aren't signing on to a plan where all of your download data can only be used while you're asleep!
If applicable – (When signing up to a broadband and landline telephone bundle)
12. Telephone call costs:
If you are signing up to an ADSL broadband and telephone bundle package, you'll need to take the price of telephone calls into consideration. Some companies offer free calls, and there's a huge differentiation between each provider's call costs, so figuring out how you'll be charged for local, STD, mobile and international calls is an imperative. Are you being charged in 30-second block periods, or by the minute? How much are flag fees? Are there any cap periods (E.g. 20 minutes) where you will only be charged a maximum amount?
13. Telephone line rental charge:
How much are you being charged for the rental of your landline phone? The average cost is around $30, but there can be deals like TPG's current $1 a month plan. However, cheap landline rental doesn't always equate to a better deal, as call costs can quickly usurp any savings you may have had.
Take all these factors into consideration and in no time at all you'll be connected to a great broadband internet connection where you can feel secure in knowing you'll never end up with a giant bill or low quality connection.

59 caddy tails in s10 roll pan
Hi all...ive been day dreaming of building a new ride...i was thinking a ****** mod to a minitruck would be frenching six 59 caddy bullet tails lights into a rollpan would be sick...any idea how to pull something like this off?
Basics of Basics Frenching (sunken) antenna
By Brian Martin
One of the classic custom body modifications, the frenched or sunken antenna. I have always like the frenched antenna look. One of my favorites is on a 59 Chevy where the antenna is sunken in the quarter below the fin and then it runs through a hole you put in the fin up into the sky, cool, very cool. You can put them vertical, leaning or even horizontal.
Find where you would like to put your frenched antenna. Make sure that your antenna base (be it power or manual) is going to clear everything on the inside of the panel.
The next thing is to take a marker pen and put a line down the outside of the tube over the seam. Most all tubes (unless they are seamless) are going to have a seam that you dont want to be seen. Make the tube where it is and that way as you set up the tube you keep that on the outside of the hole and unseen, or at least nearly unseen. If you ignore this, you will end up with the tube welded in and the darn seam right in front of your face and you will have to grind it off or fill it with polyester putty or something. Doing body work inside of a 1 ½ tube is not fun.
Mark a round hole the same size as your tubing you are going to use (I prefer 1 ½). Cut the hole and stick the tube through it. You then lean the tube in the direction you want to go and start trimming the hole out on each side so it will lean up right. Trim more and more but only a little at a time. Lets say you want to make it perfectly straight up. One way would be to hang a string from something above the car with a weight on it next to your work area. There is your perfect vertical line to aid in making your antenna straight. Now, I dont recommend you making it perfectly straight, it will have the illusion of leaning forward, tilt it back just a hair.
Once you have the hole cut out into the oval so the tube stands up straight, mark the tube around that edge of the hole so you can cut it.
Along the way or now you can put the bottom of the tube. I have found a very cool way to accomplish this. I use a deep freeze plug in the exact size as the tube. It has a nice radius on the end and looks very nice. Just fit the freeze plug up to the end of the tube and put a nice weld around the seam, that is all there is to it. All you need is to drill a hole on the bottom for the antenna. Of course a drain is highly recommended. If the antenna is going somewhere that water wont hurt then just drill a little hole on the bottom of the freeze plug next to the antenna. If it is in a place where you need to contain the water, just tack weld a tube on the hole and put a rubber hose exiting out the bottom of the panel to drain the water. At the top where you tack welded the tube put same seam sealer so it doesnt leak.
At the top of the tube, place it up into the hole from underneath and tack weld it. Making sure that it is still in the angle you want, tack weld around the edge a little at a time until it is fully welded. If you do this carefully, you will only need a little grinding or filing for near perfection. At the very least, a little plastic body filler will do the trick.
Tips on cutting out the hole. You could use a die grinder with a carbide tip cutter, a rat tail file, or sometimes even tin snips. I highly recommend getting two pairs of nice high quality tin snips if you are going to be doing any work like this. Wiss makes some of the best. Forget the yellow handled ones, they are for straight cuts only and to tell you the truth, I never even use mine. The red and green right and left handed ones are the way to go. They are not for left and right handed people, nor are they for only left and right handed turns. They are for when you are cutting on the left or right hand side of the metal. They will make a perfect straight line, better than the straight cutters. Im sure I am missing something with those straight cutters but they just dont do the job for me. The die grinder or file is really the best way to go, nice and slow so you dont cut too much.
Anyway, have fun and be careful.
My computer took a dump after I posted the previous post last night and I was unable to explain myself and post drawings explaining the post.
This explaination on tunneling an antenna is the exact same procedure as you you would use tunneling the round 59 Cad tail lamps. The only difference being of course that instead of using a level to get the pipe vertial you would use a square to get the pipe horizontal.

"I know at the end of the day -- putting this in God's hands -- the right thing for America will be done, at the end of the day on Nov. 4," Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin tells Focus on the Family founder James Dobson in a radio interview that's now online.
Palin and Dobson talk at length about her faith, the campaign and her belief that Republican presidential nominee John McCain is firmly behind the "pro-life" platform.
Dobson tells Palin that he and others are praying hard for the GOP ticket. "I can feel it too, Dr. Dobson," says Palin. "I can feel the power of prayer."
David Brody at The Christian Broadcasting Network calls the interview a "ca-ching" moment for evangelicals.

Serves 4
Americans may know this dish as cacciatore (hunter's style), but it's really cacciatora, named in honor of the hunter's wife—who, in parts of northern Italy, traditionally cooked it on the eve of the hunt as fuel for the chase.
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 3-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 cup dry white wine
1 28-oz. can peeled whole Italian plum tomatoes,
chopped, juice reserved
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 cup minced fresh Italian parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup strong chicken stock
1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, continuing to stir, for about 2 minutes more. Push onions to sides of pan, then add chicken and fry, turning pieces several times to brown evenly, about 4 minutes per side.
2. Add wine and cook until it evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, with their juice, to chicken. Stir in bay leaf, rosemary, and parsley (reserving 1 tbsp. or so for garnish) and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer, adding chicken stock gradually as tomato juice evaporates, for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaf and garnish with reserved parsley. Serve with steamed potatoes or white rice.
Important Chicken
In 21st-century America, chicken is a commonplace, a fast-food staple, an all-purpose (and inoffensive) form of protein that comes in many forms-even as sausage or "burger" meat. In the Italian countryside of an earlier time, in contrast, this barnyard bird was a creature of real significance-far too valuable (for its eggs) to end up on the table on an average night. Even in relatively prosperous households, chicken might be on the menu only once a week, usually for Sunday supper. Among poorer families, a fowl might be slaughtered only a few times a year, for consumption on Christmas or other big holidays or as the centerpiece at wedding or anniversary banquets. That's probably why there are comparatively few chicken recipes in Italian cuisine. When chicken was cooked, it was most often roasted whole, the leftover bones used to flavor soups and the scraps ground up for pasta sauce or pasta filling.

An English joiner, Thomas Spear ran away from George Washington's employ on the night of April 19th, 1775, along with brickmaker William Webster. The two men escaped "in a small yawl, with turpentine sides and bottom, the inside painted with a mixture of tar and red lead." Twenty dollars a piece was offered for their return.
In the runaway advertisement, Washington described Spears as "a joiner, born in Bristol, about 20 years of age, five feet six and a half inches high, slender made, has light gray or bluish eyes, a little pock marked, freckled, sandy coloured hair cut pretty short, his voice is coarse and somewhat drauling." Washington further claim that Spear "took with him a coat, waistcoat, and breeches of light brown duffil, with black horn buttons, another light coloured cloth waistcoat, old leather breeches, check and osnaburg shirts, a pair of new milled yarn stockings, a pair of old ribbed do. new osnaburg trousers, and a felt hat, not much the worse for wear."1

It was 2007. Samuel L. Jackson's revered Snakes on a Plane had just taken America by storm, and it was ripe for rip-off. But the Syfy Channel (then still called "Sci-Fi") had already blown its film budget for the year on movies like F. Murray Abraham's BloodMonkey and the mutant-insect-related Black Swarm. Some cable channel had to step up with a low-budget, Canadian-made movie where something took over a plane, and I'm so happy that it was LMN and ants. Yes, ANTS ON A PLANE!
The movie begins in all of the ways you'd hope it would, with a Hawaiian shirt–clad dude with a mysterious illness insisting, against doctor's orders, that he not miss his flight out of Columbia. As the passengers make their way on board, we find out some quick 'n' easy background info: one lady's engaged, one lady has a baby, and one is a widow whose teenager daughter thinks she should start dating again.
|The Spring Break Partier meets an untimely ant-related
death in the lavatory
The plane is barely off the ground when shit starts to go down--but don't worry, that won't make them turn around immediately. Antonio has to fall in love with the hot widow, and that's gonna take some time! And because watching a video I filmed off my TV from my iPad is worth a thousand words, here's the scene we've all been waiting for:
Luckily, the attractive widow is also an experienced entomologist (and of course, no one is surprised--or even suspicious--that an entomologist and a killer swarm of ants are on the same plane). She informs Antonio and the rest of the flight crew that these are a mutated form of bullet ants, so-named because "their sting is like getting hit with a bullet--it takes 24 hours to recover." Luckily, when the pilot gets swarmed he bounces back in 15 minutes or so.
Even though the pilot is recovering from deadly super-ant stings, Ground Control still won't let the plane land!! At first they mocked the pilot for wanting to make an emergency landing just because there are some ants on board, and suggested he use some peanut butter to diffuse the situation. For some reason he didn't yell, "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, SOME DUDE JUST DIED BECAUSE ANTS WERE SWARMING OUT OF HIS CHEST AND MOUTH!" Instead, he got the hot entomologist to explain that they're deadlier, faster, and yes--even smarter than the average ant. (But hopefully not smart enough to fly a plane by themselves.)
Once Ground Control contacts the CDC, however, it's clear to them that it would be dangerous to public health to let the plane land. Some bald guys have conference calls in darkened rooms, saying things like "Get me the Pentagon!" and "This is a disaster the portions of which we've never seen!" They decide that they'll just avoid the situation entirely and not give the plane any guidance. And the dude from the CDC doesn't seem concerned that they'll crash in the Everglades and the mutant super-ants will take over Florida. Instead, when another bald guy tells him not to tell anyone about this massive cover-up, he's all, "Who would I tell?" Uhm, the news? Your family who lives on the East Coast? TMZ?
|No one thinks to use a shoe to stamp the ants
to death, so Antonio and the entomologist make a
homemade bug spray and go nuts in the cargo hold
Thanks to Antonio's heroism with another fire extinguisher, and his continuous use of "oh my God, these swarming ants are so gross!" face, the plane is able to land. But unfortunately, the evil bald guy figures out that they're planning on making an unauthorized landing in Mobile, Alabama, and has guys with rifles and shotguns waiting. I guess they are going to shoot everyone as they come off the plane?? Wouldn't it be easier to just spray them down? Luckily, "the media" shows up and the evil guy can't give the order to kill everyone--and he totally would have, because he had confided to his tokenly black secretary that he has two ex-wives and never sees his son, so apparently that's why he can be so heartless as to kill 45 innocent Americans (or in this case, 44 Canadians and Antonio Sabato, Jr.).
Once everyone is safely off the plane, the entomologist sees some ants on the outside of the plane, so she grabs a handy flare gun and fires it at the plane, causing the it to explode. They're going to be quarantined for the next week or so, but at least it will be with Antonio Sabato, Jr.! But as they head off in an orderly fashion, the camera pans to ants--yes, ants! Does this mean that there will be a Destination: Infestation 2??
|Antonio Sabato has gotten his woman, his woman's daughter,
the gay flight attendant, and even a dog to safety. But do
any superintelligent mutant bullet ants remain?

Someone got to meet their hero (affectionately known in our family as "Melmo") this weekend and they were over-the-moon excited about it. And Scarlette was pretty happy about it too.
Shawn and I loaded up the kids in their strollers and took them to this festival that is held in our hometown every year. As kids we used to walk downtown to attend the festival every year and come home with our faces painted and our tummies full of funnel cake. It's a very good, nostalgic memory for me so I was pretty excited to continue the tradition with our own kids this year.
After a day filled with shopping, running around the field, watching dance routines and, of course, funnel cake the kids started fading and we decided to pack it in. Scarlette was nearly asleep in her stroller (seriously, my kid will sleep through anything) when Shawn spotted Giant Elmo.
My child shot straight up in her seat, pointing and squealing at Elmo the same way she does when her daddy gets home from work. Sorry honey.
When it was our turn to take pictures with him, I thought she might get shy because, well, let's be honest. Giant Elmo is a little bit creepy looking. Am I right or am I right? I'm right. But no, not my baby. She was so excited.
My in-laws have this Elmo doll that sings when you squeeze his nose and Scarlette will sit for
hours minutes squeezing his nose and cracking herself up when he starts singing.
So the first thing she does upon meeting Giant Elmo? She squeezes his nose. My child is a genius. And also, she's getting pretty good at posing for pictures. I feel this might mean that I have taken far too many photos of her in her 17 months of life. I am okay with this.
Unfortunately, there was a line forming behind us and that meant our visit with Giant Elmo had to be a quick one. So I told Scarlette to "say goodby to Melmo."
That's when my child lost her ever loving mind.
Want to feel like a bad mom? Introduce your child to her favorite thing in the whole world and then take her away from it. She cried and cried and it was so sad. It's very possible that someone got a new Elmo doll that afternoon but I will not verify this claim lest someone on the internet accuse me of spoiling my baby, you know, the one that spent five and a half months in the hospital. SHE CAN HAVE WHATEVER SHE WANTS INTERNET.
Not really.
Although I didn't quite think through that choice either because the new Elmo doll has a pacifier attached to his hand. Which seemed really cute until I looked over and saw my baby, who is currently being weaned off her paci, holding her new Elmo doll and happily sucking on his pacifer.
Parenting. I got this.

The greenback was markedly weaker at the close of yet another volatile session in North American trade on Wednesday with the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index (Ticker: USDollar) declining by 0.37% on the day. A lackluster performance in equity markets early in the session amassed some momentum throughout the day with the Dow, the S&P, and the NASDAQ surging 1.21%, 1.79%, and 2.32% respectively to close at session highs. As market participants turned optimistic that European officials will do what is necessary to support the ailed banking sector, the dollar came under pressure as investors chased yields. So called "risk currencies" surged across the board with aussie, the kiwi, and the loonie all advancing nearly 1% on the session.
As noted in Tuesday's USD Trading report, the greenback continued to move lower as a surge in risk appetite fueled flows into higher yielding assets. The index closed above session lows, closing just above psychological 10,000 mark. Key support now rests at the 23.6% long term Fibonacci extension taken from the June 8th and December 1st 2010 crests at 9970.
A closer look at the index sees the dollar approaching interim support at 10,000. Although RSI suggests the dollar could remain under pressure here we note that so long as the signal line remains above oversold levels the index may see scope to move higher with a rebound off 10,000. Topside resistance holds at 10,130 with subsequent ceilings eyed at 10,200 and 10,250. A break below interim support eyed subsequent floors at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement taken from August 30th advance at 9960 and 9900.
The greenback fell against two of the four component currencies on Wednesday, highlighted by a 0.90% decline against the Australian dollar. The aussie continues to benefit from improved risk appetite with the high yielder advancing against all its major counterparts in North America trade. The sterling was the weakest of the lot, sliding more than 0.17% ahead of the Bank of England's interest rate decision tomorrow. While the central bank is certain to leave rates unchanged at .50%, speculation that the MPC will look to expand its asset purchase program in an effort to shore up the ailed recovery continues to weigh on the pound. The euro was virtually unchanged on day, sliding a modest 0.05% as investors remained wary ahead of the ECB interest rate decision also on tap for tomorrow. Credit Suisse overnight swaps are factoring a 55% chance that the central bank will look to cut rates as the threat of systemic contagion gains traction. We find it unlikely the bank will move on rates as inflation remains above the ECB targeted rate of at or below 2%. The July print showed Euro zone CPI holding at 2.5% y/y.
Thursday's economic docket is rather light with only weekly jobless claims on tap. Claims are expected to increase to 411K from a previous read of 391K with continuing claims easing by 4K to 3725K. Investors will be anticipating Friday's more encompassing non-farm payroll figures for a closer look at the health of the employment sector with consensus estimates calling for the addition of 60K jobs in September, up from the dismal flat read a month earlier. The fate of the dollar hangs in the balance with the data sure to see a surge in market volatility.

About SSTI
The State Smart Transportation Initiative promotes transportation practices that advance environmental sustainability and equitable economic development, while maintaining high standards of governmental efficiency and transparency.
SSTI, housed at the University of Wisconsin, operates in three ways:
- As a community of practice, where participating agencies can learn together and share experiences as they implement innovative smart transportation policies.
- As a source of direct technical assistance to the agencies on transformative and replicable smart transportation reform efforts.
- As a resource to the wider transportation community, including local, state, and federal agencies, in their efforts to reorient practice to changing social and financial demands.
SSTI participants include state departments of transportation.
These states differ in many respects but share a commitment to rethinking policies and processes to produce better outcomes.
The SSTI Executive Committee is responsible for overseeing the initiative.
For more information about the State Smart Transportation Initiative, please contact Eric Sundquist, SSTI Managing Director at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The BBC recently had a contest to see who could come up with the best concept for a new design rethinking the BBC as "Web 2.0".
Here is their winning design:
Severe problems:
Below is the current BBC home page. It emphasizes information. News in 33 languages. Intelligent stories of what is going on in the world. It could use a redesign, but not an information restructuring. The information is the strong point of the web site.
News in the US has been going downhill for decades. The American news is filled with crap, and the BBC is one of the few decent major news providers that offers information about what is going on in the world. This looks like the decline of the BBC. They may not be planning to convert their site to that design, but choosing it as a winning design may be a warning of things to come.
Will they go ahead with something this ridiculous? Their new collaboration with Microsoft "includes plans for next-generation web 2.0 and ways to share online content in the future."
Sounds terrible. If you would like to voice your opinion about it, you can leave a comment for the BBC here.

Collaborations, Songwritting and the like.
So, ive had a revelation these past couple of days, and i really feel the need to draw attention to the results here.
Theres a perfectly valid reason why i dont usually enjoy the idea of a collaboration allthough you can rest assure whatever collaborations i have done in the past were the results of stuff im totally into, like Flipside, the Foos, Cyprus Hill, etc.
All to often, theres an influx of big names that would get thrown around the label from time to time and of course, they fly off the table and out the ****in door faster than they hit my desk. eg. do you want to do a track with big name X, remix huge pop act y, etc etc.
no. i ****ing dont. i really REALLY dont.
im passionate about music, engineering said music, and especially art at least i certainly feel that i am. And the last thing i want to do is take the meanings and feelings of a piece of music and have some ****ing dip**** blab about lookin sexy, poppin bottles, droppin bass, or ANYTHING club related. which fortunately for the world *rolls eyes* makes up for 99% of the electronic music fad thats apparently considered mainstream now.
Obviously, this little rant was mainly inspired by the veldt.. which i read a couple weeks ago. Im keen on short stories, since i lack the time to dip into a massive novel. And well, as some of you know, other peoples art, poetry, writting or otherwise can very easily juxtapose to your own craft, inspirring you to create your own personal extension or compliment to the work hence the track itself.
for those of you familiar with the story, check it out here: http://www.veddma.com/veddma/Veldt.htm
anyway, after being inspired, i felt man, id really like to create a soundtrack to this.. a somewhat melancholic yet uplifting audio image of kids bestowed with insane technology which enables them to conjure up any setting or any thing they desire which in this case, as children sometimes wish their parents were dead by an unfounded retaliation to being disciplined.
what a great story, i figured.
so, the melodies done and a vocal really was optional at that point, wasnt too concerned about it. However, the electronic music community needs more people like Chris James, who i actually just randomly stumbled on via twitter, pretty insane.
he had posted a link claiming he did a vocal to the track ive uploaded on soundclud, ill be honest, i *do* check demos out from time to time but not nearly as often as they come in for whatever reason, i took a shot and checked it out i was ****ing nearly in tears. Not because i think hes the best singer in the world but because HE ****ING GOT IT. TOTALLY and COMPLETELY got it.
i had previously stated on the demo that the song was loosely connected to the short story i read the kid went and read the story, and did what i did. His verses are connected to me in that way, this track is pure. This is how inspiration is supposed to work. Even before hitting the play button on his soundcloud, i almost wanted to roll my eyes waiting for the first verse to have a mention about his last breakup, or this other bitch he thinks is hot, or how he was on his way to a club, or just how warm and fuzzy he felt about THA BEAT (or tha bass for that mater).
**** all that.
he righteously did his homework, and came up with just a few bang on verses that completely compliment the story and the mood, which is all i ever want from a song that contained lyrical content. Cant give him props enough.
The moral of the story is here, is that this is what songwritting should be about. Music is meant to provoke feeling and thought. So if we were to go by popular music, we should all be thinking how sexy we are and we know it, or how our hands should be contstantly up in the air or maybe we should drop that bass because itss too ****ing heavy to lift or whatever the ****ing problem with bass is these days.

A British former fighter jet pilot who commanded UK air-strikes against Colonel Gaddafi hopes to smash the world land speed record by driving a "jet on four wheels" at more than 1,050mph.
Wing Commander Andy Green, 50, - who already holds the current record of 763mph - hopes to beat that fastest speed in a rocket propelled supercar called The Bloodhound Project.
The £10million vehicle - the most complex car in the world - will be powered by a Eurofighter Typhoon jet engine plus a rocket and go 1.4 times faster than sound.
Today Wing Commander Green, 50, said he hopes the record attempt in South Africa both next year and in 2014 will inspire Britain's young science and technology students.
The former Phantom and Tornado pilot achieved the 763mph speed record in the Thrust Supersonic car to in 1997.
Now he says: "It is 15 years later and we're running an education programme called Bloodhound to break that record and share the technology with a whole generation of young people.
"This is much bigger than just another land speed record."
Powered by a Typhoon jet engine and a hybrid rocket, the RAF pilot will call on his flying experience to control the vehicle, which is much more like a fighter jet than the average saloon car.
A team of five young soldier mechanics from the British Army's Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers will help construct the complex vehicle's engines.
Wg Cdr Green added: "All of the technology we have to develop, it's not commercially sensitive, it's not militarily sensitive, there's no competition because there are no other Bloodhounds in the world.
"We can share all of it, and that gives us the ability to reach out to a generation of young people to give them something iconic, exciting and simple - like driving in a straight line - and look at the science, the technology, the maths, the environmental science.
"The whole project lends itself to the world's most exciting science and technology lessons. That is the legacy for Bloodhound."
The Ministry of Defence is backing the project, and Whitehall chiefs hope young people will be inspired to get involved in science, technology, mathematics and engineering.
Philip Dunne, minister for defence equipment, support and technology, said nurturing engineering skills in youngsters is vital to British industry, and the project is a good opportunity for the Army to share its experience and skills.
"That experience will feed directly back into the front line as they progress through their Army careers," he said.
"Today's announcement builds on the Royal Air Force's already considerable involvement with the project, through Wg Cdr Green and the retired Typhoon jet engine that will power Bloodhound."
Richard Noble, the project director of Bloodhound, said: "We are delighted that the MoD and REME will be joining us and sharing in this unique adventure.
"Their young engineers have great skills and attitude and will make a tremendous contribution to the building and running of the car."

The Black and Blue:
Double Century & Relay
The 2016 Ride Has Been Cancelled.
Saturday, June 11, 2016
(the second Saturday of June)
"I think this is one that cyclists from all over the country should make a vacation out of and check out Boone, NC and spend a little time while here in the southeast USA's high country." 2011 rider
Registration Opens: January 4, 2016
Field Limit: First 200 teams
The only cycling event of its kind in the contiguous United States, The Black & Blue, which is a double century (200-mile) relay, showcases the incredibly scenic and at times demanding mountainous roads of Northwestern North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia. The Black & Blue is a bike challenge like no other.
The Black & Blue consists of 1 (solo) to 8 person teams that rotate through (8) 25-mile stages as they cover the 200-mile distance and 13,445′ of elevation gain. Riders will complete anywhere from 25 miles to 200 miles. The Black & Blue starts and finishes at the Riverside Restaurant on the banks of the New River in Todd, NC. The course primarily follows scenic, country roads as it winds its way through the rural regions of North Carolina and Virginia's High Country. The course features some of the region's most spectacular scenery.

They have all the answers
Page Tools
They. Personal pronoun. Third person. Plural (sometimes singular). Subject. Stands in place of animate or inanimate nouns. Object form: "them"; possessive form: "their".
Put thus, "they" seems quite benign, if also rather opaque and unreal. Certainly, it's removed from the daily currency of life. In this, it's no different from most grammatical information, which at first (and even at second) glance, seems as prosaic and indifferent as a maths formula.
A pronoun is a word that acts for ("pro") a noun. It allows us to knit together our utterances to create cohesive text, because most of us (except the grunting Brandos and Stallones) speak in sentences. Normal folk (people like us) create discourse, which means connected text beyond a single utterance.
For example, "I went to the shop and bought some bananas. The bananas were from Queensland." If we want our English to sound remotely native-like, we make "they" substitute for the second "bananas". It's not a conscious decision. We just do it. Consider it a language habit.
This textual function, where "they" stands in for "bananas", is only part of the story. "They" is often used in combinations like "they say" and as such exerts a powerful influence. But who are the "they" of "they say"? Why are they so garrulous? Why do we invoke them? Why do we take any notice?
Such are the concerns of Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion, a book about the techniques of manipulation used by what he calls " the persuasion professionals". His book begins with a list of "they says":
"They say human beings use only 10 per cent of their brains ... polyunsaturated fat is better for you than saturated fat ... tiny squiggles in a rock prove there once was life on Mars ... our children's test scores are declining ... Jesus was a direct descendant of King David ... you can earn $15,000 a week in your spare time ... marijuana leads to LSD ... the corner office is a position of power ... the elderly should get flu shots ... homosexuality is an environmentally learned trait ... there's a gene for homosexuality ... computers can predict the weather ..."
Et cetera, et cetera. Sound familiar? Now, let's personalise the concept. Consider one or two things you subscribe to in your life - such as vitamin supplements or hair conditioner because of what "they" say.
The flip side of "they say" is "trust". The reality is that we accept information on an assumed authority and we do so all the time. Yes, that trust is eroding (witness food content labels), but mostly we still want to trust. It's easier, after all. Imagine how life would grind to a halt if we questioned everything that we currently take on trust. Imagine a visit to the doctor or a church service.
Trust is a habit we've had from the time we didn't question the composition of breast milk. Our lives are spent attending uncritically to what "they" say. Starting out, they're our parents. Gradually add in significant others - grandparents, aunts, carers, teachers.
By the time we're all grown up, it's bosses and experts, authorities of all shapes and persuasions. Celebrities bleed across their proper domain and lend their putative authority to areas quite outside their jurisdiction - such as Ian Thorpe's "fully sick" endorsement of a breakfast cereal.
In all the years I gave lectures in linguistics, only once did anyone ask me for evidence of the claims I routinely made. She basically asked: "Who said that? On what evidence? How valid and reliable is that evidence?"
All good questions, all rightly asked, all tangibly answerable. Sadly, it was just the once.

Rockaway Beach Volleyball Heats Up The Summer
Rockaway Beach Volleyball Heats Up The Summer
By John Sica
This Weeks Scores: Your Mother's Team 0, Jerry's Kids 5; Kerry Hills 5 IBK's 0; TNT 0 Fillmore Ins. 5; Son's of Beaches 1 Circling Sharks 4; Tap and Grill Island 0 It's all Good 5; Fisheads 1 Dig This 4; Momomides ER 1 Beach House 4; Psychic Friends 1 Coppersmiths 4; Tap and Grill 2 Beach Club 3; Generation X&Y 5 Federation 0; Jamesons 1 Abbraciementos 4.
Before we talk about this week, let us focus on more important issue's. The big showdown will occur next week when Coppersmith faces off against reigning champs, Generation X&Y, to see who will be favored to win the division. Coppersmith's is built around the excellent strong play of Scotty. The force is with him. The experience of Mark Gentile, Joe McManus and Brian Carey have given them an easy run through the Red Division. But their real strength is the flawless play of their girls, who happen to be the sisters of Claire and Marie. Gen X & Y is stronger than last years team with the addition of Bernie O'Conner, Jimmy Mack, and young Michael Sica. The maturity of Trisha more than makes up for the deteriorating skills of her aging father, John. Solid play by the girls, Linda, Carol, and marathoner, Coleen McManus, has led the Gen to the second spot. MVP Rich Whalen and the always reliable play of all around player Brian Sica have made X&Y a dangerous team to repeat.
Meanwhile a big showdown for first in the White Division was totally one sided. Kerry Hills defeated IBK (I wanna Beat Kearns) 5-0 to send a message to the rest of the division and John Brennan, former player for the first place team. The battle for first between these two family oriented teams ended in a one sided victory for the Hills. Led by birthday boy Peter Kearns, great serving by Chris (11 in a row) Walsh, and consistent play by the girls, Della and Michelle Fleming, Noelle Hutton, the Hill took control of the White Division. Kenny Kearn's blocking display was a deciding factor. Kerry Hills, and the whole league, wishes their best for John Hayes. Get well soon our prayers are with you.
Jerry's Kids were victorious over Your Mothers Team. Jerry Kid's wants to remind them that they were once in their shoes. Growing Pains can hurt. Veronica and Matt's serves were devastating. Their shirts almost turned Red
A show down between the third and fourth place teams in the Red Division, Abbraciamento's and Jamesons, led to a great match. Although Abbraciemento's won 4-1 the games and quality of play was even. The athleticism of Jameson's was not enough to overcome the experience of the "old men and women" of Abbraciementos. The women of Abbraciemtentos want to remind the readers of the Wave that they are young at heart and in many other ways. Mike Buckley, from Jameson's, succumbed to his Sergeant's (Rocky's) command and refused to block his superior, paving the way for Abbraaciemento's.
Fillmore Insurance whipped TNT 5-0 behind the great play of Peggy Katen. They would like to thank Jimmy "the cheap Bastard" Katen for not showing up. A little less coaching by Laura would improve the team immensely. Please come home Glenn.
Despite the All Good's Team 5-0 victory, they placed Timothy "The Mailman" Murphy on waivers due to his non-appearence. His fan club did show up though, but this was not enough to deter the coach from making his decision. His contract was picked up by the last place team after the Cirling Sharks refused to pick him up off waivers. They were quoted as saying, "he's better off retiring."
Claire, (Maries sister), from Coppersmiths, wanted to rub it in at the post game party to the Physic Friends so she invited The Great Kazoo into the backyard of the Rugby Club, only to tell him and Barney how, "we had a really good week, we beat them real bad". Claire wants to remind everybody that she is a nice person, and by the way she is. One of her teammates rushed to her defense and said that what she meant to say was that "she had a really good week of dating," not playing.
For the Jameson's squad, Keith Green says, "You better show up, drink and have fun or I'm gonna go home next week." Sean O'Talk of Jameson's whined, "if everyone else played like me, we would have swept them."
Dancer, who is a fine athete in many sports including a being a former high school pitcher, was chosen at a Brooklyn Cyclone game to throw pitch to win possibly a million dollars. He had to throw a ball from 60 feet through a ten foot target. His pitch traveled 40 feet falling merciless to the dirt, embarrassing all of Rockaway.
Gen X&Y had a surprisingly easy time with their rivals, The Federation. The Feds were playing without husband-to-be Greg who has shown what his future will be like. It was nice knowing you Greg. It looks like George's retirement has ended, it was nice knowing you for five weeks George.
Commissioner Patty Melt has administrative issues:
Those who do not have your rosters in by 7/18 will not be eligible for the playoffs. You know who you are, and next week everyone will know who you are. Any player who is on the roster for one team, playing for another team, will be disqualified from playing on any team in the playoffs. (You know who you are)

2012 BCS Point Spreads, Kick Off Time & Prop Bets
Just three bowl games remain and one of those happens to be a rematch between SEC powers Alabama and LSU in the BCS National Championship. The highly anticipated bowl clash between the two division rivals is scheduled to kick off at 8:30pm ET on Monday, January 9 at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana; it will be broadcast live on ESPN. The latest 2012 BCS Point Spreads have the Crimson Tide listed as a slight -115 Pick'em favorite. In addition to against the spread, moneyline, and Over/Under action, most book makers, including Bovada.lv, have numerous BCS Prop Bets available for Monday's showdown in the Bayou.
With this year's BCS National Championship Game being so evenly matched, some of the best plays on the board may be prop bets involving the two teams and certain Crimson Tide and Tigers' players. Here, in my estimation, are some of the more potentially profitable plays:
Total TD Passes – Jordan Jefferson (LSU): Under .5 (+145)
Jefferson has thrown a touchdown pass in four straight games, but the Under .5, especially at a positive return is the way to go here. Jefferson is not known for his aerial prowess while Alabama is known for its outstanding pass defense. The Crimson Tide have given up an FBS best 116.3 yards per game through the air this season and they have allowed just six passing touchdowns to 12 interceptions.
Total TD Passes – A.J. McCarron (Alabama): Under 1.5 (-130)
McCarron has recorded multiple passing touchdown games just four times this season, and two of those came in the final two weeks of the regular season against Georgia Southern and the defensively challenged Auburn Tigers (tied for 82nd in the FBS with 23 passing touchdowns allowed). McCarron failed to throw a touchdown pass in the Tide's first meeting with LSU and on the season the Tigers have allowed just seven passing touchdowns. Yes, you take a slight hit with -130 and a loss, but everything points toward the Under being a certain winner.
Total Team Points – Alabama: Even -105
Okay, this isn't rocket science, but the Crimson Tide have landed on an even score eight times in 12 games this season, including their first meeting with the Tigers. Certainly anything can happen in a game, but this one figures to be low scoring. Perhaps a touchdown and a field might be enough for Alabama to get a win or maybe 10 points will see Nick Saban's squad lose by three, six, or 14 points. Regardless, the Tide figure to find the end zone at least once this time around and, if the last game was any indication, they will attempt plenty of field goals. Here's betting on a touchdown, extra point, and an odd number of field goal makes.

|Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force
The task force, which replaces the Corporate Fraud Task Force established in 2002, will build upon efforts already underway to combat mortgage, securities and corporate fraud by increasing coordination and fully utilizing the resources and expertise of the government's law enforcement and regulatory apparatus. The attorney general will convene the first meeting of the Task Force in the next 30 days.
"This task force's mission is not just to hold accountable those who helped bring about the last financial meltdown, but to prevent another meltdown from happening," Attorney General Eric Holder said. "We will be relentless in our investigation of corporate and financial wrongdoing, and will not hesitate to bring charges, where appropriate, for criminal misconduct on the part of businesses and business executives."
"Through the Financial Fraud Task Force, we are making clear that the Obama Administration is going to act aggressively and proactively in a coordinated effort to combat financial fraud," said Treasury Secretary Geithner. "It's not enough to prosecute fraud only after it's become widespread. We can't wait for problems to peak before we respond. We're seeking comprehensive financial reform to create a more stable, safer financial system and stepping up our enforcement strategy. Doing so will help to stop emerging trends in financial fraud before they're able to cause extensive, system-wide damage to our economy."
"To give American families the protection and peace-of-mind they need, it's clear the federal response must be as interconnected and multi-dimensional as the challenges we face," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. "No one agency is going to be able to stop financial fraud. This Task force will build upon many of the inter-agency collaborations already underway to protect consumers and restore confidence."
"Many financial frauds are complicated puzzles that require painstaking efforts to piece together. By formally coordinating our efforts, we will be better able to identify the pieces, assemble the puzzle and put an end to the fraud," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
The task force is composed of senior-level officials from the following departments, agencies and offices:
In addition, the attorney general will invite representatives of the National Association of Attorneys General, the National District Attorneys Association and other state, local, tribal and territorial representatives to participate in the task force through its Enforcement Committee.

Kevin O'Neill, fired at USC, plans to look for yet another job coaching basketball
Kevin O'Neill told the Los Angeles Times it "doesn't really matter" whether his next coaching job is at the college level or in the NBA.
On Monday morning O'Neill was fired as coach of USC, where he was in his fourth season as head coach.
"I've done this (coaching) for 33 years, and I'm probably not taking up flying planes or something," O'Neill said. "If I did I'd probably crash it."
O'Neill, 55, said he was texted on Sunday night by Southern Cal athletic director Pat Haden, who told O'Neill he and associate athletic director Steve Lopes wanted to meet with him the next morning.
"He just informed me he didn't need my services any longer," O'Neill said.
The Trojans were 7-10 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12.
O'Neill was asked if Haden cited one of the reasons for the firing the incident during the Pac-12 tournament in 2011 when O'Neill got into an altercation with an Arizona fan.
"No, he did not," O'Neill said. "I have no idea if that was part of this or not."
O'Neill coached at Marquette from 1989-'94. He came to MU after serving as an assistant to Lute Olson at Arizona.
Since starting his coaching career in 1980, O'Neill has had 15 different coaching jobs in college or the NBA.

Nightclub identity Megan McCabe has staved off a liquidation application filed against two Auckland bars.
McCabe is the sole director of Club Crow Bar Ltd, which owns Crow Bar, a former hangout for stars such as Bono and Nicky Watson, and Sunset Entertainment Ltd, which previously owned Margaritas.
Receiver Paul Sargison, of Gerry Rea Partners, said the bars owed Oaks Discount Liquor Ltd a combined $170,000.
His application to liquidate the companies was to be heard in the High Court at Auckland this month. Sargison said an agreement was reached first but refused to say how much had been paid.
He said McCabe was represented by Christine Liggins, owner of Albany budgeting service Simply Budget.
McCabe is said by family and staff to be overseas. Liggins refused to comment on the settlement or her client's whereabouts.
The ownership of Margaritas has been transferred to Green Grass Ltd, of which McCabe is sole shareholder and director.

(Generic versions may still be available.)
Signs and Symptoms
All but a few cases of ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) overdose have involved multiple drugs. Overdose on ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) alone is rare and has always been the result of too frequent (daily) dosing. Overdose is primarily of concern in persons not tolerant to opiates, since in such individuals a dose of 20 to 40 mg of ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) may cause somnolence, and a larger initial dose may cause serious overdose. Tolerant individuals will generally not show symptoms unless higher doses are administered.
In ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) overdose, as with other mu agonist opioids, the following signs and symptoms should be anticipated: respiratory depression (decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume, Cheyenne-Stokes respiration, cyanosis), extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, maximally constricted pupils, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, bradycardia, and hypotension. In severe overdose, apnea, circulatory collapse, pulmonary edema, cardiac arrest and death may occur.
In the case of ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) overdose, protect the patient's airway and support ventilation and circulation. Absorption of ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) from the gastrointestinal tract may be decreased by gastric emptying and/or administration of activated charcoal. (Safeguard the patient's airway when employing gastric emptying or administering charcoal in any patient with diminished consciousness). Forced diuresis, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or charcoal hemoperfusion are unlikely to be beneficial for ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) overdose due to its high lipid solubility and large volume of distribution.
In managing ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) overdose, the physician should consider the possibility of multiple drugs, the interaction between drugs, and any unusual drug kinetics in the patient. Naloxone may be given to antagonize opiate effects, but the airway must be secured as vomiting may ensue. If possible, naloxone should be titrated to clinical effect rather than given as a large single bolus, since rapid reversal of opioid effects by large naloxone doses can cause severe precipitated withdrawal effects that may include cardiac instability. If a patient has received a total of 10 mg of naloxone without clinical response, the diagnosis of opioid overdose is unlikely.
If the patient does respond to naloxone, the physician should remember that the duration of ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) activity is much longer (days) than that of naloxone (minutes) and repeated dosing with or continuous intravenous infusion of naloxone is likely to be required. Use of oral naltrexone in this setting is not recommended because it may precipitate prolonged opioid withdrawal symptoms (see Use of Narcotic Antagonists ).
ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected QT prolongation (QTc interval greater than 430 [male] or 450 [female] ms). This would include patients with congenital long QT syndrome, or conditions which may lead to QT prolongation (see WARNINGS, Effects on Cardiac Conduction ) such as: 1) clinically significant bradycardia (less than 50 bpm), 2) any clinically significant cardiac disease, 3) treatment with Class I and Class III anti-arrhythmics, 4) treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's), 5) concomitant treatment with other drug products known to prolong the QT interval (see PRECAUTIONS , Drug Interactions ), and 6) electrolyte imbalance, in particular hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia.
ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to LAAM.
ORLAAM (levomethadyl acetate) is not recommended for any use other than for the treatment of opioid dependence (see WARNINGS ).This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Frozen In Time: Anton's Restaurant [VIDEO]
WAITE PARK — Anton's Restaurant in Waite Park is perhaps best known for its prohibition history which stems back to the early 20th Century.
It's rumored the building was the stomping ground for famous gangsters such as Al Capone.
In 1973 Anton "Tony" Gaetz and his wife Lorraine bought the property which was formerly Bricky's. Bricky's was a speakeasy and part of Woodland Lodge, a small cabin resort.
Tony and Lorraine Gaetz had five children who also helped run the day to day operations of the restaurant.
Co-owner, Betzy Gaetz says when her parents owned the restaurant she did various jobs along with her older siblings including washing dishes.
Anton's displays the still that was used during prohibition to create Minnesota 13 Moonshine in the front lobby.
Betzy says she thinks bootlegging was accepted by community members and law enforcement because she's heard stories of locals having drinks next to the former sheriff.
The restaurant is decorated with pictures and artifacts from the early 1900's, each with it's own story to tell. Betzy says the building holds memories for many people in the community.
Betzy says she remembers her mother collecting mementos like the former city hall building sign which is displayed above the speakeasy lounge.
Some of the tables are decorated to look like wagon carriages. If you look close enough you'll most likely see love messages written by couples who have shared their first dates there. Betzy says she's had people specifically come to Anton's for these booths.
Today Anton's continues to be a family business owned by Tony and Lorraine's five children who maintain the integrity and history of the building.
See a video of Anton's below.

I had a small silicone chin implant which was fine for 17 years.I started getting tingling, tightness and numbness. I had it removed and the feelings went. A year later they have suddenly returned - a series of sensations, including the lower lip, feels tight and numb, but when I touch it I can feel the touch ok and its not tight. A sort of sore feeling in my lower lip which comes and goes. The only time it really goes is when I am eating/chewing gum or massaging the area. Can anyone advise?
1 Year After Chin Implant Removal I Have Started Getting the Tingling and Tightness Feeling?
Doctor Answers 3
Tingling one year after chin implant removal
I agree that the likely culprit here is a scar in the area of the mental nerve. Before considering exploratory surgery, I would suggest trying steroid injections to see if this will help the problem resolve.
1 Year After Chin Implant Removal I Have Started Getting the Tingling and Tightness Feeling?
Dear squarebull.
Thank you for your post. The mental nerve is the nerve that exits on each side of the chin and gives sensation to the lip and chin area. This nerve appear to have some constriction. Most likely scar tissue. You may need an exploration to remove scar tissue and along the nerve.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Numbness, tingling and tightness after chin implant
Even though the implant was removed, you may have some scar tissue that is compomising the nerve and surrounding tissues. See a surgeon for evaluation. You may require exploration of the area if persistent or progressive.
