We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am starting a construction company & I am the only employee at present. I want to pay myself a salary and put remaining earnings back into the business. Should I form an Inc. or an LLC?
I agree with the previously provided advice. The tax treatments for an LLC vs. a corporation are very different. The key benefit to an LLC is that losses and gains are passed through to your individual tax returns and are not subject to double taxation as are corporations. A corporation's earnings are taxed and then the dividends to the shareholders are taxed on the shareholder's personal return. A corporation is generally more beneficial if you anticipate eventually taking the business public. Generally speaking LLC's provide you the same protection as a corporation but have the benefit of less onerous record keeping requirements (i.e. no year end minutes and no notices to shareholders are required). Find a competent tax attorney or CPA and discuss your personal financial situation to determine which entity best serves your needs.Ask a similar question
This advice was invaluable. Thanks so much.
You should sit down with a tax lawyer or CPA to understand the different tax issues between an LLC and an S-corporation. The decision is very fact dependent on this advice upfront can save you a lot of trouble and money in the future.
The above statements are provided as general information and not intended as legal advice. Each matter has its own set of unique circumstances that cannot be adequately addressed without consultation. You are strongly advised to hire an attorney licensed to practice law in your state to represent you.Ask a similar question
Thanks so much for your answer. It set me on the right path.
Generally there may be very little difference between a "S-Corporation" and a LLC tax wise so.. There may be differences in reporting and how your "salary" functions. Further many "old time" accountants are much more likely to have knowledge of how to handle issues with a S corp.
Generally it depends on how big you expect to grow and how many employees you expect to have and how much $$ in assets (tools, equipment etc. you will purchase) in the future.
However, the best assets a small construction can have are a good attorney and a good accountant.. so get both!

The big challenges with carrier plans are that they typically require two-year contracts, and require carrier-specific hardware, making it expensive to switch to a new carrier.
But there are some exceptions to 3G providers requiring contracts:
- Verizon offers its Mobile Broadband DAYPASS, which quickly can cost more than a month of service, but doesn't require a long-term commitment.
- In September 2009, Virgin Mobile announced its pre-paid, no annual contract Broadband2Go plans, providing access to Sprint's 3G network through a $149 USB adapter, with plans starting at $10 for 100megabytes (expiring in 10 days), and $20, $40 and $60 plans good-for-thirty-day plans for 250MB, 600MB and 1GB respectively. And while pricey per bit, there's no danger of after-the-fact billing surprises: the software tracks usage as you go, and won't let you over-run; you have to "refill" to keep going.
- Another flexible approach to 3G provisioning is through iPass Inc., which offers access to 3G service, but only charges for those calendar months a user accesses a network. Plus, in the U.S., iPass offers access to two EVDO networks, allowing your company to provision 3G to users for either network, while having only one master contract and related administrative effort. (And a user could be given the USB adapters for both networks -- but if they used both in the same calendar month, they'd be racking up a separate months' charges.)
There may be more low-commitment options, so if you haven't yet signed a contract, you may want to hold off until later in 2009.

More court review for 2004 Janet Jackson flash
By James Vicini
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ordered a lower court on Monday to reconsider a ruling that struck down a $550,000 fine against CBS Corp television stations for airing a glimpse of pop singer Janet Jackson's breast during the 2004 Super Bowl.
The order sends the case back to a federal appeals court in Philadelphia for further review in light of the Supreme Court's ruling that upheld a U.S. government policy that subjects broadcasters to fines for airing a single expletive blurted out on a live television show.
The appeals court ruled in favor of CBS, saying that the Federal Communications Commission acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for a fleeting image of nudity.
Jackson's right breast was exposed to almost 90 million TV viewers for a fraction of a second during the live 2004 Super Bowl football halftime show in what fellow pop singer Justin Timberlake later called a "wardrobe malfunction."
Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson's bustier exposing Jackson's breast during the show. Despite the brevity, lawmakers and regulators were outraged and vowed a crackdown on broadcast indecency.
CBS and cable music network MTV, which produced the Super Bowl halftime show, insisted they did not know in advance about the wardrobe stunt. CBS apologized and paid the fine, $27,500 for each of its 20 owned-and-operated stations, and later instituted a five-second delay on most of its live events.
The appeals court said CBS could not be held liable for the acts of Jackson and Timberlake. That ruling will be reviewed in view of the Supreme Court's order in the case.
The U.S. government appealed to the Supreme Court, urging it either to hear its appeal in the CBS case or to order further lower-court consideration in view of the high court ruling last week in a separate case on the FCC's crackdown on dirty words aired on television. Continued...

Weber's Single Lifts Upstate to Victory at Northern Kentucky
Highland Heights, Ky. – Luke Weber delivered a two-out RBI single in the top of the ninth to lead the USC Upstate baseball team to a 7-6 victory over Northern Kentucky Friday afternoon in game one of a three-game series from Friendship Field.
Spartan right fielder Tyler Lesch drew a walk to start the ninth and moved to second in the following at-bat on a groundout to the right side. One batter later, Weber laced a 1-2 pitch up the middle to drive in Lesch and help Upstate to its third straight victory.
Upstate and Northern Kentucky resume a three-game series Saturday at 1 p.m. from Friendship Field.

Nothing Demonstrates The Christmas Spirit Like Telling A Few Petty Lies
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
I know, I said I try to ignore this "war on Christmas" nonsense, but National Review's Jay Nordlinger apparently took my prediction that Armstrong Williams had written the dumbest passage of the week as a challenge.
Here's Nordlinger:
Some have said, "You just can't find cards that say 'Merry Christmas.' It gets harder and harder." I know. Kind of like trying to find products not made in China (for who's to say whether they come from laogai, the gulag?). I gave up on the China front long ago. Shameful, I know. But have you ever tried to buy an umbrella not made in China? Also, globalization has done wonders for the average Chinese, gulag or no gulag. Kind of a thorny, upsetting issue.
I gave up on the "Merry Christmas" front too, where cards are concerned. I just get a pretty card that says "Seasons Greetings" or "Whass Happenin' on the Holidays?" or whatever. Life's too short to hunt down "Merry Christmas."
Now: What is the most famous greeting card maker in the world? Hallmark, right? So upon reading of Nordlinger's struggles hunting down a card reading "Merry Christmas," I typed www.hallmark.com into my browser, and within seven seconds was looking at dozens and dozens of Christmas cards.
Seven seconds.
I do not believe Jay Nordlinger is actually too dumb to be able to find greeting cards reading "Merry Christmas." I think it's far more likely that Jay Nordlinger is the kind of person who would lie about how hard it is to find such a card in hopes of stoking culture-war resentment.
Isn't it great that we have people like Jay Nordlinger to remind us what Christmas is all about -- by telling lies and encouraging anger and resentment and strife? I'd like to send Nordlinger a card in recognition of his efforts, but it really is hard to find one reading "Stop lying."

UPDATE 2-Bissau president and ex-premier freed by soldiers
* Politicians freed, headed to Ivory Coast
* Soldiers will accept ECOWAS force -spokesman (Adds pair arriving in Abidjan, comment from minister)
By Alberto Dabo
BISSAU, April 27 (Reuters) - Soldiers in Guinea-Bissau released two leading politicians they had arrested in an April 12 coup and said on Friday they would accept the planned deployment to the country of over 600 soldiers from West African regional bloc ECOWAS.
Carlos Gomes Junior, the ex-premier and presidential election front-runner, and interim President Raimundo Pereira were freed on Friday afternoon after a visit by ECOWAS military chiefs and later flew to Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
The pair were released a day after ECOWAS announced the deployment of a force in Guinea-Bissau to secure the return to civilian rule, and threatened targeted sanctions against soldiers who blocked the process.
The coup took place halfway through elections in the former Portuguese colony, which has endured decades of instability since independence in 1974 and become a transit hub for Latin American cocaine mostly headed for Europe.
Lieutenant-Colonel Daha Bana na Walna, a spokesman for the Military Command that seized power in the coup, confirmed the release of Gomes Junior and Pereira.
"The Military Command accepts the deployment of the 600 men from ECOWAS," he added, saying they would replace a contingent of Angolan soldiers due to leave the country. Continued...

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
8x8" Clairefontaine watercolor paper, mandala in black PITT pen (XS), Sakura gellyrolls
A new mandala in the square mandala series. After a cough wouldn't let me go back to sleep, I decided to get up at 5am (I am NOT a morning person) and pour a cup of tea with two tea bags and my favorite honey from New Zealand. At the breakfast table, I drew this mandala in black PITT pen (XS nib), adding color with PITT brush nib pens and Sakura gellyrolls. I've been doing B&W mandalas for quite a while; suddenly I want color.

A few months ago, Kevin's fiance Katie and I were shopping for a baby shower gift. We looked for a stuffed animal to put in the basket of books that would be our gift. We were shocked when we couldn't find any stuffed animals!
This past weekend, we attended another baby shower. This time, as I was shopping for something else, I ran across lots of stuffed animals. Why? It's the Easter shopping season, and there's lots of bunnies, and chicks, and sheep etc. to pick from.
So...I grabbed an assortment of them, and along with a couple books and a pretty basket, that was our gift.
Bet you'd like to see a picture huh? I planned on taking one, but OOPS. I forgot.
I decided to post about it anyway, in case you're in the need for a baby shower gift too. I may go back and pick up a few more animals, in case we need another gift later in the year since I know now that it isn't always easy to find them.
And yes...the basket got lots of oohs and ahhs!
A mix of our country & primitive home decor shop and our country life. Welcome!

A Massive Can of Worms
While I've made quite an extensive study of live versus recorded programming over the past couple of years, it's a topic that continues to enthrall me.
Some of the pieces that are most arresting and effective live can have a disengaging, if not outright negative impact when recorded, and pieces which are enthralling in recorded form can be downright boring in a live context. How is it that we experience these two ways of listening so vastly differently? As I type this I am sitting in the kitchen of a studio in Iceland, where I am working on a new record of solo viola works. As my engineer and I work on sound concepts for the record this is perhaps the most pressing thought: how do we get pieces which translate so beautifully from stage to audience member to translate as comprehensibly to the intimacy of recorded media?
One of the many tools in the arsenal of the engineer is microphone placement—an obvious-sounding idea, I know, but imagine the following scenario: you are sitting in the dress circle at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium, listening to the Berlin Phil. There's a distance there of maybe, what, 100 feet between you and the orchestra? You are listening to the warmth of dozens of live musicians being reflected by a hall with beautiful acoustics over a great distance, in the company of hundreds of rapt audience members. In many ways, this is the ideal place to take in an orchestra concert.
Now, imagine hearing that exact sound emanating from your headphones as you attempt to commute to work in the morning. In that light, the warm, rounded acoustic of a large orchestra in a live concert hall lacks any type of immediacy that would make it compelling at as close and intimate a range as headphones beg a listener to consider. The obvious solution to this is close-miking, but with that option comes more interesting challenges: miking an acoustic instrument, meant to project over the dozens and dozens of feet of a concert hall, very closely can be jarring, or rough, producing some unexpected results.
That, in a nutshell, is the whole situation with recording these days—balancing the close and the far, the intimate and the grand. I was talking to a violinist friend the other day about vibrato; as young players we are taught that vibrato is meant to reproduce the sound of the human voice. However, if we limit the vibrato we use on string instruments to solely that sound, we are vastly limiting the colors available to us as string players. This is how I think of recording as well. If we limit ourselves to simply reproducing the experience of being at a live event, we are limiting the very artistic tools available to the contemporary sound designer.
On this show, I attempt to play pieces that I feel work in the recorded medium—music that itself is not only well-suited to the radio, but is recorded in a way that suits the format as well.

One area where the HTC Flyer falls down somewhat is video and audio playback. While the screen shows of video magnificently and the device has enough performance to play HD video, format support isn't great (Samsung really leads the charge on this front). While you can download the likes of RockPlayer to bolster format support, most of these apps don't support hardware acceleration so can't keep up with playing HD mkvs for instance. The result is that you'll have to convert most of your videos to get them to play on the device.
Audio support isn't much better, though again other software can be installed to help here. The main problem with audio is that the headphone jack is ever so slightly noisy. It really is a bit picky to point this out but using some high-end Unique Melody Mage IEMs we were able to notice a constant slight background hiss not present on an iPhone 4 for instance.
The speakers aren't a great help either. The presence of stereo is to be applauded but the quality of audio is about as mediocre as we've come to expect from HTC. The addition of stereo is noticeable and beneficial but there's just no oomph like on the astounding BlackBerry PlayBook. For a company that otherwise makes such great hardware it really is baffling how poor it tends to make its speakers, headphone jacks, and cameras.
Yes, despite the rear camera's large size, it isn't much cop. It'll get you by for all tablet duties but we really would've hoped for a bit better. In good light both front and rear cameras are okay but they're just particularly bad in low light. At least there's a fun PhotoBooth app for mashing up your image into all sorts of more intentionally bad forms.
HD 720p video is also available from the rear camera and again it's decent in good lighting but poor in the gloom, and with no LED the Flyer can't help itself in the dark.
Coming back to those HTC favourite apps strung along the bottom of the homepage. Reader is an ebook reader app that provides quite a nice reading experience, with little animated page turns just like the iPad, and has all the usual settings for font size, bookmarks, and searching through the text of the book. You can also buy books through Kobo books or open copyrighted works with an Adobe ID. This is one app that takes advantage of the stylus, allowing you to annotate the book either with scribbles or highlights.
The other app is Watch, which provides video downloads and streams. You can rent films for around £3.49 or buy them for £9.99. It's an easy enough service to use but the selection of films seems very limited thus far.
Battery life proved very variable with us getting a week of light use on only Wi-Fi yet hammering it with everything on killed the Flyer within a working day. Overall, though, we suspect many people will be able to get away with charging this tablet twice a week for average commuter-type usage.
Coming full circle back to this issue of price, if we compare this 32GB, 3G enabled Flyer to a similarly specced iPad 2, it comes out looking reasonable with both pushing £600. However, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, while only providing 16GB of onboard storage (though it can be bolstered by the addition of both SD and microSD cards) and lacks 3G, comes with a keyboard attachment that ups the battery life to double that of nearly all other tablets and can be bought for just £430. Then there's the fact that this is a smaller tablet and it does 'only' have a single core CPU (fast though it be). So, all told, we would like to see the Flyer available for around the £400. Currently Best Buy is listing the Flyer for £480, though with no other shops yet following suit, we don't know whether this a sign of things to come or just an anomaly.
The HTC Flyer has lived up to our expectations in terms of the experience it delivers. It's beautifully made, easy to use, fast, and that stylus is great. However, not only do we have reservations about the current and long term app support but currently it's severely overpriced. Until it drops well below the £500 mark, it's not the tablet we'd go for.

misprint on page four-you said
"Until it drops well below the £500 mark, it's not the tablet we'd go for."
i think you ment to say £250.
although you should state in title you're reviewing the 32gb+3g
I often think to myself "what I'm really missing on this tablet is a stylus so i can draw coloured lines and take handwritten notes" .....
Oh hang on .... 2003 just called ... they want their slate back ....
2003 - Didn't the Apple Newton have a stylus back in the early 1990's?

A Little Frau With Your Bonus?
O politics, you are the gift that keeps on giving, and maybe especially to those who keep an eye out for language.
Last month the German race for Chancellor took an unexpected linguistic turn. The candidate Peer Steinbrück complained that Chancellor Merkel, who is running for reelection, enjoyed a Frauenbonus.
By deploying the term Frauenbonus, Steinbrück means (I assume) that Merkel has an advantage in being a woman since a) women would vote for her because she is one of them, and b) since she is beliebt (loved, popular, favored), this must in some sense derive from her being female.
Where there's a frau, there's usually a haus, too. The online Oxford Dictionaries page defines hausfrau as "a German housewife" and gives as an informal definition "a woman regarded as overly domesticated." Hausfrau dates from the end of the 18th century, which would I suppose make it an unintended consequence of the Enlightenment.
The term hausfrau might be translated as housewife or, with the exaggerated politeness of a door-to-door salesman, as the lady of the house. These days there aren't too many door-to-door salesmen, and not too many ladies of the house, either.
Readers of a certain age may remember that a midcentury American male (enlightened or not, and probably not) might have referred to his wife as his frau—the German word for wife or lady, but in American usage possibly also a shortened version of hausfrau. (That same speaker might also have referred to his spouse, without apologies to Louisa May Alcott, as the little woman.)
Hausfrau has faded away in colloquial American usage, but not without leaving a gap in self-determination for the woman who is not employed outside the home. She who keeps the house (in order, together) is not a housekeeper, since a housekeeper is a professional employed by the lady of the house. Homemaker and domestic goddess take two approaches to naming the task of keeping a house and, as is most often the case, raising the kids, too.
The concept of the Frauenbonus has been otherwise described in American discourse, often with more specificity. So-and-so is polling strongly with the Latina vote, black women are persuaded that this candidate's platform speaks to their interests. When the candidate is female, an observer (most likely an opponent) might choose to dismiss that bump in the polls as a Frauenbonus.
If the term Frauenbonus does seep into English usage, both halves of the word may raise eyebrows. In the Occupy-Zeit of the American present, the word bonus is as out of fashion as that dated usage of frau. Bonuses make the world go round in the heady land of Mad Men, the hit television show that brings the corporate culture of the sixties to life. My thanks to the blogger Andrew Hammel for posting a photo of a German ad for Mad Men. The text runs roughly "Behind every successful woman there stands a man checking out her behind."
While bonuses still play a part in the 1 percent's compensation packages, the term bonus is rarely invoked now except to identify the recipient (head football coach, university endowment officer) as being paid too much.
Steinbrück, however, isn't grousing about excessive compensation—on the contrary, he's reportedly of the opinion that a chancellor should be paid more than Merkel is, a view that has created another awkward moment in his political candidacy. No, Steinbrück is complaining about something more important than compensation, something intangible—and something unfair.
The unspoken and unspeakable bonus that derives from being a woman is one of the legendary subjects of ressentiment. Since she won an Oscar for The Hurt Locker, the film director Kathryn Bigelow has been the subject of one of the 'Net's least interesting questions: "Did she win because she was a woman?" Hatte Bigelow einen Frauenbonus?
Asked about his own wife's role in the forthcoming election, Herr Steinbrück indicated that Frau Steinbrück would remain in the background. According to the online edition of Der Spiegel, Steinbrück said that he and his wife Gertrud didn't want to get involved in "American style" electioneering.
Given the grisly display of spouses (almost always wives) in American political contests, the Steinbrücks have a point. But Gertrud just might have provided the Frauenbonus—if such a thing exists—his underdog candidacy needs.

Sam Allardyce admits West Ham face a tough task to pull themselves clear of the relegation zone but is confident in his squad's ability when everyone returns from injury.
The Hammers lost 3-1 at Manchester United on Saturday and are just one point above the bottom three.
"It's a difficult test for us now and it's going to be a long haul in terms of digging ourselves out of this position," admitted Allardyce.
"We've got to go all out to get some of the players who are injured back in the team, because they will make a difference to us.
"There are too few players who are fit at the moment. When Stewart Downing, Winston Reid, Ricardo Vaz Te and Andy Carroll are back playing in the team, it will make the team bigger and stronger and bring more quality.
"That's no disrespect to what the players are doing at the moment, but everyone wants their best players fit. We're missing them and we need to try to get them back as soon as we possibly can."
Captain Kevin Nolan is in line to return for the Boxing Day visit of Arsenal after a three-game ban.

NEW PORT RICHEY — River Ridge was bound to score against Hudson. The Royal Knights relentlessly took 25 shots, 14 on goal, but keeper Lisa Jadick stymied River Ridge repeatedly.
After tempering frustrations and finding patience, River Ridge's Sarah Olin finally broke through, scoring in the 60th minute to give her team a 1-0 victory Wednesday night.
River Ridge (15-4-1) advances to the Class 3A, District 8 final and returns to regionals for the seventh consecutive year. "(Jadick) did very well," River Ridge coach Skip Glover said. "Olin put some balls on her that a lot of people would be afraid of."
In the 44th minute, Nicole Screnock got loose on a breakaway, but Jadick was in position to make a great save. Jadick stood tall again in the 54th minute, saving an Olin free kick from 20 yards out. River Ridge's Kendra Secrest tried to score on the rebound, but Jadick swallowed up the ball. She finished with 13 saves.
"I was getting frustrated because (Jadick) was doing good and I think she really kept (Hudson) in the game," Olin said.
Olin finally put the ball in the back of the net when Laura Cason centered a perfect pass in the box.
"I give all of the credit to Laura," Olin said. "It was the perfect ball with no one around me."
Hudson (16-5) had an opportunity in the 76th minute when River Ridge's Grace Markunas misplayed a ball, allowing Dominique Cirnigliaro a one-on-one with goalkeeper Brittany Wilkins, but she missed wide right.
On Friday, River Ridge faces Mitchell (19-1-1), which cruised to a 5-0 victory over Gulf (12-7-1). Gulf held Mitchell scoreless in the first half, but the flood gates quickly opened. Baylor Cherry scored twice, followed by goals from Amanda Hayes, Kailin Torres and Danielle Gottwik.
3A-7: Cinderella run continues for Wesley Chapel
ZEPHYRHILLS — History was made in one Class 3A, District 7 semifinal and denied in another Wednesday night at Bulldog Stadium.
Wesley Chapel, the top seed for the first time in school history, defeated Sunlake 2-0 to advance to Friday's final and earned its first region berth.
Land O'Lakes, which has never lost to Zephyrhills three times in a single season, avenged two regular-season losses to the Bulldogs with a 2-0 win.
The Wildcats (9-10) and Gators (13-6-3) will play in the championship Friday at 7 p.m.
"It's incredible," said Wesley Chapel coach Michelle Clark, a former Land O'Lakes goalkeeper (Class of 1998). "I am beyond excited. I said (to the team) you have an opportunity to bring home a trophy. We've never done that."
Wesley Chapel, 3-18 last season, got goals from Briana Rosario and Theresa Gemberling, whose corner kick set up Rosario's goal. Kelsey Bare assisted on Gemberling's score.
Wesley Chapel goalkeeper Aspen Cooper, a three-year starter, earned the shutout after Sunlake (7-9-6) could not muster much on offense.
Land O'Lakes, a perennial playoff team ousted in last year's district semifinals, scored once in each half on goals by Catherine Gray and Alyssa Longway.
Gray gave the Gators a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute by putting back a rebound off Zephyrhills keeper Jessica Relyea, who saved Gray's initial shot. Longway made it 2-0 in the 74th minute, scoring on a kick that eluded Relyea and trickled in off the left post.
Land O'Lakes keeper Ariana Bailey came up with several key stops, including a point-blank save on Sarah Denney's partial breakaway from the right side.
Zephyrhills (9-9-2) had an apparent goal by Denney, who later was carried off the field with an injured right knee, disallowed on an offsides call in the first half.
3A-6: Nature Coast breaks through
INVERNESS — With Wednesday's win at Citrus in the Class 3A, District 6 semifinals, Nature Coast matched the number of postseason wins in program history over the past two days. The Sharks earned their first region berth with a 2-1 win over Citrus.
Nature Coast (16-1-1) had a 2-8 record in district play coming into this season.
"We've had the potential to do this for the past three seasons, but we fell short," Nature Coast coach Lisa Masserio said. "We needed to ratchet up the competitiveness, and the girls responded and saw what was possible."
Nature Coast's Paige Kuhn scored the first goal after the teams went into halftime scoreless. Kuhn received a corner kick and found a crease to slide the ball into the net and put the Sharks up 1-0.
Citrus (14-4) quickly answered, but with only five minutes remaining, Sylvanna Paonessa, the team's second-leading scorer, dropped in the winner on a breakaway.
"All the girls were really excited, but because we have that one-game-at-a-time attitude, some of them didn't know what comes next,"
Masserio said. "They knew we played for the district title, but I had to tell them to clear their schedules for next week because we'd be playing in a regional playoff game."
The Sharks' next test is top-seeded Eustis (15-3). The Panthers beat Leesburg (12-5-3) 6-1 to get to the championship game. Nature Coast beat Eustis earlier this season.
"I think we're going to see a slightly different team this time around," Masserio said. "We were missing one player, and they were missing a few, too. When they're full strength, they have great speed and skill up front."
4A-4: Lecanto takes out Springstead
Springstead fell in the Class 4A, District 4 semifinals Wednesday night at Ocala Vanguard, losing 4-1 to top-seeded Lecanto and ending a two-season run as district champion.
Springstead (10-9-1) dropped both games to the Panthers (14-4-2) in the regular season by a combined 8-0 score, but came out strong this time around.
Leading scorer Kimberly Smith nearly scored in the opening minute and that momentum carried the team.
"Realistically, we should have lost 4-3, but we couldn't take advantage of the opportunities we had," first-year Springstead coach Scott Wern said. "It was very frustrating."
Among the miscues for Springstead were five yellow cards assessed to the squad.
The Eagles logged their lone goal when a shot from Kayla Montealegre hit the back of the net on an assist from Madison Whitmill.
Other than Smith (17 goals), the Eagles' roster should be intact next season.
"The morale is high already," Wern said. "We should be in good shape for next season with so many of the girls coming back."
Lecanto faces Forest (17-5-1) for the district title after the Wildcats snagged an upset 2-0 win in their semifinal over Vanguard (13-3-7).
4A-8: Wiregrass Ranch bounced after PKs
TAMPA — After 100 minutes of play, including two 10-minute, golden goal overtime periods Wednesday, Freedom and Wiregrass Ranch were knotted at one goal apiece.
It took until the second round of penalty kicks to break the deadlock , as Freedom sophomore defender Dana Jones sent her kick straight ahead through the hands of the leaping Wiregrass Ranch goalkeeper Dayton Wetherby to give the Patriots the 1-1 (5-4 PKs) victory in the second round of the Class 4A, District 8 tournament.
"We've been working on this for a long time," Jones said of penalty kicks, which ended Freedom's season last year. "I was confident, so as long as I'm confident, I can do it."
The Patriots, the No. 2 seed, opened the scoring in the 20th minute . The half ended with the teams tied with two shots each.
Wiregrass Ranch, the No. 3 seed, answered in the second half with a goal by junior Berlin Waters. She drew Freedom's Emily Ball out toward the top of the box with a shot, and Waters collected her own rebound and buried shot into the right corner . Freedom was limited to one shot in the second half .
Freedom will face No. 1 seed Steinbrenner, which beat Gaither 2-0, in the final Friday. In three past meetings, the teams have fought to a draw.
"Last game we played them we didn't have a lot of our starters, and I was playing with a hamstring injury," said senior Taylor Valley, who scored both of the Warriors' goals. "So yes, we do want to play them."
Staff writer Laura Keeley and correspondents Steve Lee and Derek J. LaRiviere contributed to this report.

To make a long story short. I ran into a Black STi on my way to work. This was the first STi I've ever seen on my way to work. I think he/she (not sure) lives in my neighborhood. The driver had shoulder length hair that was all over his/her face. So I really couldn't tell if it was a guy or a girl.
Well I was driving behind the STi for a while. Then when the left lane cleared I pulled along side of it. I drove for a little bit right along side of the Black STi. The driver of the STi wouldn't even look over at me. I gave a quick smile and did a little wave and I got back nothing in return. I was very suprised. So I dropped it down into 4th gear and took off. A fellow STi owner completely ignored me? What's up with that. Not even a smile or a wave
I was just wondering who this was on Danials Parkway at 7:30am. Also why did the owner completely ignore me. Not even a glance. I mean I was completely ignored as if I wasn't even there.

I went to Food Pyramid and just picked up some of their $4 bunches in fall colors. These are rust asiatic lilies, yellow mums, ivory spray roses and green hypericum berries.
I had a square vase at home (my favorites) and started with the asiatic lilies. I kind of arranged them on three of the corners to make it kind of take up most of the vase as a base.
Next, I added the clumps of spray roses.
And filled in with hypericum berries and mums. Also, I always love to tie up with a bow. I feel like it finishes it off.
1- It is okay to cut the stems. They need to be proportional to the vase.
2- You don't have to use every flower. If you have extras just cut them and put them in another container like I did with this mason jar. Now my mom has flowers for her room and I have a little arrangement for my counter top.
Thank you all for all of your prayers, calls, emails, texts and comments about my mom. Today was a much, much better day and I am sure with each day she will get better. Her doctor's goal was for her to walk from her bed to the nurse's station. Well, my mom is a go-getter, so she took it one step forward and walked around the floor - three times. The more she gets around the better, so we are so grateful for all of your prayers for healing.
Tomorrow I will share pictures of the cutest Halloween owl you ever did see!

Gustav Mahler: Recuerdos y cartas (edition 1983)
by Alma Maria Schindler Werfel
Work details
Gustav Mahler: Memories and Letters by Alma Mahler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Alma Mahler has a fair claim to have been even more of a larger-than-life figure than her first husband, but in this memoir she seems to be doing her best to tone herself down a bit and come across as the devoted little woman. It doesn't quite convince us, of course, and it's not meant to. We're supposed to understand that she could have been a great musician herself, had she not sacrificed her career before it even started: "Ich habe, was ich an produktiven Gaben besaß, in andern großen Hirnen ausleben dürfen."
This memoir mostly covers their ten years of married life, from 1901-1911. There are only a few brief notes of Mahler's life before the time they met. But, of course, if you wanted a detailed, reliable biography you wouldn't be reading this: its interest should come from Alma's unique opportunity to get close to Mahler as a person. Which unfortunately isn't something she really manages to tell us much about. There's a lot about his ailments, his unworldliness and his absent-minded tendency to inconvenience others (like the unfortunate cook who had to carry the breakfast things up a steep and slippery path to his composing hut because Mahler couldn't bear to meet anyone in the early morning). But there's not very much about the intellectual life that informed his composing work. He was obviously a very private person where that aspect of his life was concerned. For all Alma's claims to have been his creative helpmeet, it looks as though he kept her and everyone else firmly out of earshot when he was at work. At those times her job was to keep him free from disturbance by noise or visitors; only once the work was safely sketched out on paper could she do her bit as copyist and editor. (In fairness to her, she must have been very good at giving him a secure environment in which he could be creative: the years of their marriage were by far the most productive of Mahler's life.)
Alma's account is most fun to read when she's talking about their circle of artistic friends and the backstabbing of Vienna (and later New York) cultural life. Some of her vitriolic little sketches are very entertaining: Pauline and Richard Strauss in particular get a hard time. She is a dim-witted Hausfrau who interrupts sophisticated debates about late Beethoven with silly questions about hairdressers (she was actually a distinguished singer, but Alma never mentions that), he a boor who only thinks about money, and they both talk with uncouth Bavarian accents. Other biographers confirm Strauss's assertion that Alma made up most of the stories she tells about them, but given that she is writing in the thirties, when Mahler's music was banned in Germany whilst Strauss was hand in glove with the Nazis, her animosity is understandable. The singer Anna von Mildenburg (referred to as "M.") also, predictably, gets a hard time. She and Mahler had been lovers in Hamburg before Alma came on the scene, but Alma depicts her as a deluded stalker.
In the big scenes where you might expect her to go over the top and milk it for all it's worth, Alma is actually surprisingly restrained. Her account of the death of their daughter is sober and very moving, whilst her description of Mahler's final illness and death even has a few little touches of wry humour in it. If there is a weakness in the construction of the book, it is her inability to resist the urge to foreshadow. When we're heading for a catastrophe, she inevitably gives us a kind of countdown as we get nearer. But she's by no means the only biographer to be guilty of that particular sin...
Entertaining, and definitely worth taking the trouble to read if you care for Mahler's music. But you may well want to read a more balanced biography as well.
I found this book fascinating. I don't even like Mahler, and only read this book because I happened to find it in my bookshelf, and I usually find biographies of musicians interesting. Surely nobody knew Mahler better than his wife, and this is a wonderful book.
Written by the wife of the late Romantic composer giving an account of their day-to-day life during the last years of the Hapsburg Empire. She was in her own right a composer, pianist and poetess who was forbidden to compose by her husband although her contribution to his art was enormous.

Hah, no doubt. I use Slacker more than Pandora and have for quite some time. I have seen the "connect a phone" message while everything was playing fine since I got my iPhone 5. The other thing I run into is that I get "Bluetooth audio stream detected" (or something like that) on the Ent screen when I leave BT on and leave the car to do some stuff and then return later. Weird thing is I do see song title and artist update on the home screen and see song title update in the Ent tab if I am on a different screen but every time I go back to the Ent screen, there is that box with the message.
This morning I tried to switch to another audio source and back to BT to see if it would get rid of it. It didn't. Actually, the funny thing is I tried to switch to my iPod/USB source and when I hit that button, I got a new pop-up message telling me it could not eject the disc because there was no disc in the CD player. Not sure how that was even remotely related to the fact that I hit the USB audio source button?!?
.......here's a lockpick. It might come in handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.

Basing her observations on her own new translation of the Greek text, Hooker explores, pericope by pericope, what the author of Mark's Gospel wanted his original readers to understand, what he says about the historical Jesus and the early community of the faithful, and what he conveys theologically throughout the entire Gospel.

Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds must be completely dried out in the oven before combining with spices. Whether for cooking or carving, choose an unblemished pumpkin that feels heavy for its size; it will store well, uncarved, at room temperature, for up to a month.
- Yield: Makes 1 cup
- 1 medium pumpkin
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut pumpkin open from the bottom, removing seeds with a long-handled spoon. Separate flesh from seeds, and reserve the flesh for another use (see Pumpkin Pie). Pumpkin should yield 1 cup seeds. Spread seeds on parchment in an even layer. Bake until dry, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Let cool.
In a medium bowl combine 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne. Heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook until sugar melts and pumpkin seeds begin to caramelize, about 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer to bowl with spices, and stir well to coat. Let cool. These may be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives.

It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual.
I have experience working with a wide variety of issues including substance abuse, codependency, divorce, parenting, physical/sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, stage of life issues, crisis intervention, self esteem and school/employment stressors, etc.

The venue may be swish (with well-to-do patrons propping up the amply stocked cedar bar), the fixtures and fittings expensive, but when it comes to the food, much of the wow factor is down to high-class ingredients that haven't been messed around with too much. Own-made silken tofu, presented in a cedar saké cup, was rich, creamy and light.
The barley miso, freshly grated wasabi and other accompaniments allowed the tofu to shine. A more indulgent dish of spicy miso with lobster also had a clarity of flavour, with the sweet shellfish the star. An ample house special of deep-fried lemon sole was served with a fresh, tangy ponzu sauce and cleverly presented in a bowl made of the curved and deep-fried skeleton of the fish. Our waiting staff couldn't have been nicer, and even the chefs behind the imposing robata grill seemed to be having a good time.
This is one contemporary Japanese restaurant that we're happy to come back to time and again. Be sure to give the saké list a proper look too: there are more than 40 to choose from.

Best sushi restaurant in London! It's fine and well presented and the atmosphere is amazing.
It is expensive but worth it!
Truly delicious food. Exquisite actually. Am already looking forward to my next visit. Stunningly good, great service, fairly aloof crowd but everyone genuinely looking as if they were enjoying the experience which makes for a very upbeat, exciting atmosphere. A favourite for me already.

Ridge Vent Leaking
I recently purchased a house with a rafter ceiling (no Attic). It's in Colorado and experiences quite a bit of wind. I have done a bunch of ceiling drywall repair due to leaking. I had a roofing contractor come and replace the ridge venting. He said he had the stuff that would stop the leaking. The roof is like an 11/12 pitch or so.
I was a little late getting to the house and he had started removing the old ridge vent already, it was Shinglevent II (House is 6 years old). In the boxes of new Ridge vent was Shinglevent II !!! Well, now I'm stuck with snow coming in the next couple of days. The previous ShingleVent appeared to have been installed correctly but the water leakage was visable. I have heard good results with Shinglevent so I am suprised it is not working well at all.
They finished installing the new Shinglevent and ridge shingles (not much choice really):(. My hope is that the new barrier will hold out the moisture for a bit while I figure out how to improve/fix the situation.
Any idea's on how to improve the performance of the current Shinglevent or should I look at a product like Cor-a-vent X-5 with the wind foil? I'm sure the leaking is due to Wind driven/blowing snow/rain in a windy area...
You should look into the idea that it might be a condensation issue. Do you have soffet vents as well as the ridge vent?
Do a search on this site for vent issues. There have been many posts and threads concerning these issues.
If the surface that the product id mounted too, is an architectural shingle, with additional laminated pieces, then, if the top shingle row did not work out to winf up with the smooth continuous portion, there could be voids under the exterior baffle.
In those events, the product must be caulked in place to ensure no wind driven weather finds it's way in through the voids.
Thanks Keith!
There are multiple soffet vents and seem to be functioning well (from my original calculations they seem to match, Ridge vs. Soffet). One thing I forgot to mention is the fact that the barrier that was removed from the previous Shinglevent II looked like it had been beat pretty good and not much resemblance to the new (wind and weather again I think).
Thanks Ed!
Ed, I gotta run and don't have time to respond with good info....... I will respond ASAP ( dad in ER ) arrrggg!
Thanks Ed!
Long night in the ER :yawn:, but things are ok.....
There are a few gaps because of the shingle. I spoke to the roofers and they are going to caulk/silicone them so no air can go under not blocking the drain holes of course (they were going to anyways just waiting for it to be warm enough for the product). I would suppose with the vortex/negative pressure created by the baffle, if air can go under the baffle it would almost create a mini race track for any wind carrying snow with it and up to the ridge it would go.
Good suggestion and sounds like the best hope for success...
On a different note does anyone have experience with the Coravent X-5 stuff, (curious about it's performance and durability of the foil)?

Davy Sum makes tennis look easy.
Whether he's ripping a crosscourt passing shot or dropping a perfectly-placed volley for a winner, Sum always seems to exude a quiet confidence - and a feeling of being in control.
"This guy never panics," said teammate Ondrej Kralik, a hint of wonder in his voice. "He's so calm on the court and just makes the game look so easy. He always seems to play the ball exactly where it needs to be played and is thinking about his next shot."
Over the last three and a half years, Sum has served, rallied and volleyed his way to the top of the Campbell record books. The school's all-time wins leader with a record of 108-29, Sum has earned six Atlantic Sun player of the week awards over his career and earned a national singles ranking (No. 112) this spring.
The senior from Strasbourg, France, owns an unblemished 20-0 overall record this spring and has claimed first-team All-Atlantic Sun honors in each of the last four seasons. He was a unanimous choice as the 2011 A-Sun player of the year in voting by league head coaches.
His game, according to head coach David Johnson, features a litany of strengths.
"He sees the court and uses it very well," said Johnson. He spreads the ball around and creates openings and opportunities for himself. He is a definitive all-court player - he can stand and rally from the back of the court and he can create opportunities from the back where he can come to net and finish.
"He manages the point well and doesn't give a lot of free points away in the process; the combination of that is what makes him so successful. I don't think there's a definitive shot you point to - it's the whole arsenal."
Sum credited his stellar play and smooth movement to improved consistency on the court.
"I don't think I make as many mistakes as my opponent," said Sum, who loves to watch Novak Djokovic's matches. "In tennis, some days you're going to feel like you made a lot of mistakes and some days you're going to hit a lot of winners. Another key part of my game is my speed, footwork, and agility on the court - there's never a day where I say, 'Oh, I was so slow on the court today.'"
Sum's versatile and well-developed game may in fact be his biggest weakness, according to Kralik.
"His only weakness is maybe that he doesn't have that one huge weapon," said Kralik, who shares an apartment with the Frenchman. "He can beat you with a serve, or a forehand, or a volley, and doesn't rely on one go-to shot. But his weaknesses are so small; they're very difficult to see on the other side of the net."
With Sum being able to make adjustments himself during matches, Johnson doesn't need to spend much time providing insight.
"He's certainly progressed to the point where he's well aware of his capabilities," said Johnson. "He has a good knowledge of where he is in his game and he does a good job of going out and applying that. He's the full package - the results speak for that."
One of the areas Sum feels he has improved the most in since his freshman year has been his commitment in the weight room. He works out virtually every day, and his fitness has become an advantage - a sentiment echoed by Kralik and Johnson.
"Even with all those results, he has a very big appreciation for hard work," said Kralik. "He really works hard every day, especially in workouts."
Johnson added that Sum's increased levels of fitness have helped him add more power and pace to his ground strokes.
Perhaps even more impressive than Sum's on-court results, however, is the way he's adapted to life off the court. The Frenchman had only visited the United States once before coming to CU - and that was a 2006 two-week trip to Boston, an entirely different environment than Buies Creek.
Sum's advisor, Lionel Kremers, scoured a number of U.S. schools to find a home for Sum, and he eventually decided to attend Campbell without seeing the campus or Johnson in person.
He was attracted by the large number of international student-athletes on Campbell's roster, as well as the opportunity to compete in a top singles position for the Camels.
He's one of nine foreign-born players on CU's roster this year.
"Just being so far away from your family is hard at the beginning," Sum said, adding that he talks to his family once a week by Internet video chat. "Everyone speaks another language and you're learning a new school system, but the fact that the team was international was really helpful. We all had to go through the same things coming here - leaving home and making new friends - and playing every day with my teammates has been fun."
Sum, who is majoring in business administration, will graduate in May and is preparing to take the GMAT in hopes of attending graduate school - if he doesn't pursue a professional tennis career.
"The main reason why I came here was because I could have a degree in four years and play tennis at a competitive level," said Sum, his French accent very evident. "My parents and I always agreed that school was more important than tennis, and right now, I really don't know what I'm going to do."
Beginning a professional tennis career is very difficult on players financially, as they seek funding and sponsorships, so Sum is considering several U.S. graduate schools including Elon and Jacksonville.
Whatever path Sum chooses in the future, he will be missed.
"It's been an honor to live with him," said Kralik. "When you walk in and see all those awards on the shelf, you know you're living with a great athlete. But he's not only a great athlete - he is an incredible person. Without a doubt, he's one of the most humble and respectful people you'll ever meet."
Johnson agrees with Kralik and knows he will have a difficult task finding someone to replace Sum.
"Beyond the results and the recognition, he's a class act," said Johnson. "He's a great student, he's well-liked by all of his teammates - he's the quintessential student-athlete. He's been the cornerstone of our program the last four years. The fact that he's gotten better has made us get better and we're in the best position that we've been in a number of years.
The 2011 A-Sun Player of the Year knows that this year presents his final opportunity to cement his legacy at Campbell and garner a conference title.
"I know that I cannot give up now," said Sum. "It's my last year, and I want to make it the best."

Hi guys,
I would just like to make it publically known that with imediate effect I no longer have any involvement or association with F's Freestyle Gym. I no longer teach, coach, arrange / manage fights and more importantly myself fight under the F's Freestyle name.
I have had a great time at the gym and brought on some super lads as well as revamping myself and enjoyed success. At last count the MMA record combined out of the gym under me and including me was around 18-7-0. Not bad by any standards !
As most know I am now part of Team Supreme based in Cannock [ soon to expanded ! ] under Jon Roberts. I have had close ties with the guys over the past couple of years [ a lot longer than that actually just not as close as now ] and now train and represent the camps name.
My first outing under the team will be Cage Rage 26 at the NEC and I very much look forward to that.
Good luck to any of the guys remaining and fighting out of F's Freestyle.

: need help moisturizing hair
I'm not sure whats going on with my hair but its dry, wont get moisturized, and has no slip. The same thing happened around this time last year. A few weeks ago my hair was fine but now I don't know what to do with it.
I thought my hair might have low porosity so i looked up some methods and tried doing conditioner and baking soda. it made my curls looser but didnt do much in helping my hair retain moisture. afterwards i put in leave in conditioner, grapeseed oil, and shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and my hair still doenst feel very moisturized.
my usual routine is a cowash/oil rinse once a week, and other days i use water to dampen my hair and shea moisture to moisturize. I also have fine hair so i havent been able to find much of anything specific to my hair. oils are usually too much for my hair but im desperate to find something until i give up and put it in braids.

Right-Wing Media's Phony Deficit Blame Game Now Targets Pelosi
Research ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Right-wing media are now targeting Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as being to blame for the increase in the federal deficit. In fact, experts agree that almost the entire deficit can be attributed to Bush's tax cuts, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the economic recession.
Right-Wing Media Mock Pelosi's Statement On Deficit Reduction
Fox Nation Declares Pelosi's Statement On Deficit Reduction Being A "Priority" To Be "A Whopper." On January 4, Fox Nation posted video of Pelosi speaking at her final news conference as House speaker. During the clip, Pelosi said:
PELOSI: We have no regrets. This House has over and over again sent to the Senate legislation for job creation, which the Republicans in the Senate held up. Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra: pay as you go. Unfortunately, that will be changed now. This administration and this Congress inherited a near depression. And so the initiatives that we took were positive for the American people. [Fox Nation, 1/4/11]
Fox Nation posted this text below the video:
At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, "Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go."
The numbers tell a different story.
When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi's Speakership on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 - a roughly $5.2 trillion increase in just four years. Furthermore, the year over year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled during Pelosi's four years as speaker, from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010. [Fox Nation, 1/4/11]
Hoft: "Speaker Pelosi's Final Insult: 'Deficit Reduction Has Been A High Priority.'" In a January 4 Gateway Pundit post, Jim Hoft posted Fox Nation's video and text and added, "What a horrible woman." [Gateway Pundit, 1/4/11]
Doocy On Pelosi's Comments: "Maybe The Spin Should Stop Here, Madam Speaker." The January 5 edition of Fox & Friends began with a segment on Pelosi's comments. After airing part of the Fox Nation clip of Pelosi speaking, the co-hosts said:
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): Now, hold on. Maybe the spin should stop here, Madam Speaker, because when you look at what she just said -- that deficit reduction has been a high priority under her gavelship -- that flies in the face of the facts. Because when she took the big hammer from John Boehner a couple of years ago, the debt was at $8.6 trillion.
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Drop in the bucket.
DOOCY: That's right. As the 111th Congress concluded in December, it was at $13.8 trillion, a $5.2 trillion increase on her watch.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): I wish I would have brought my calculator this morning, because you need it for these kind of numbers, although I --
DOOCY: They're so big.
CARLSON: I don't know if calculators go to the trillions. So, if you want to break it down even more, Steve, the year-over-year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled, can't even say it, during Pelosi's four years as speaker. So, year over year, it's quadrupled. I guess that means that it's four times over every single year. [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 1/5/11]
Fox & Friends ran repeated segments throughout the January 5 broadcast in which they accused Pelosi of being responsible for the rising deficit during her tenure. In addition, contrary to Doocy's claim, Pelosi did not take "the big hammer from John Boehner a couple of years ago." In fact, Pelosi succeeded former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL). [Office of the Clerk, accessed 1/5/11]
Powers: "They're Saying Boehner Has An Emotional Imbalance?" In a January 5 post on Michelle Malkin's blog titled, "Pelosi Departs With a Whopper," blogger Doug Powers reposted Fox Nation's text and added, "And they're saying Boehner has an emotional imbalance?" [MichelleMalkin.com, 1/5/11]
But Experts Agree Deficit Result Of Bush-Era Policies, Wars, Economic Downturn
CBO Projected $1.2T Deficit In January 2009 Based On Spending Bush Authorized; Actual Deficit Was $1.4T. In a January 7, 2009, report, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected, based on spending authorized under the Bush administration, that the federal deficit in FY2009 would total $1.2 trillion. According to the CBO, the actual federal deficit for FY2009 was $1.4 trillion. [CBO, January 2009 and January 2010]
CAP: "Single Most Important [Cause Of The Deficit] Is The Legacy Of President George W. Bush's Legislative Agenda." In an August 2009 analysis, the Center for American Progress (CAP) concluded that about two-thirds of the then-projected budget deterioration for 2009 and 2010 could be attributed to either Bush's policies or the economic downturn:
The report explained:
As for the deficit's cause, the single most important factor is the legacy of President George W. Bush's legislative agenda. Overall, changes in federal law during the Bush administration are responsible for 40 percent of the short-term fiscal problem. For example, we estimate that the tax cuts passed during the Bush presidency are reducing government revenue collections by $231 billion in 2009. Also, because of the additions to the federal debt due to Bush administration policies, the government will be paying $218 billion more in interest payments in 2009.
Had President Bush not cut taxes while simultaneously prosecuting two foreign wars and adopting other programs without paying for them, the current deficit would be only 4.7 percent of gross domestic product this year, instead of the eye-catching 11.2 percent--despite the weak economy and the costly efforts taken to restore it. In 2010, the deficit would be 3.2 percent instead of 9.6 percent.
The weak economy also plays a major role in the deficit picture. The failure of Bush economic policies--fiscal irresponsibility, regulatory indifference, fueling of an asset and credit bubble, a failure to focus on jobs and incomes, and inaction as the economy started slipping--contributed mightily to the nation's current economic situation. When the economy contracts, tax revenues decline and outlays increase for programs designed to keep people from falling deep into poverty (with the tax impact much larger than the spending impact). All told, the weak economy is responsible for 20 percent of the fiscal problems we face in 2009 and 2010.
President Obama's policies have also contributed to the federal deficit--but only 16 percent of the projected budget deterioration for 2009 and 2010 are attributable to those policies. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, designed to help bring the economy out of the recession is, by far, the largest single additional public spending under this administration. [CAP, 8/25/09]
CBPP: "[V]irtually The Entire Deficit Over The Next Ten Years" Due To Bush Policies, Economic Downturn." The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) published an analysis of federal deficits in December 2009, most recently updated on June 28, 2010, titled, "Critics Still Wrong on What's Driving Deficits in Coming Years: Economic Downturn, Financial Rescues, and Bush-Era Policies Drive the Numbers." The report noted:
Some critics continue to assert that President George W. Bush's policies bear little responsibility for the deficits the nation faces over the coming decade -- that, instead, the new policies of President Barack Obama and the 111th Congress are to blame. Most recently, a Heritage Foundation paper downplayed the role of Bush-era policies (for more on that paper, see p. 4). Nevertheless, the fact remains: Together with the economic downturn, the Bush tax cuts and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq explain virtually the entire deficit over the next ten years. [CBPP, updated 6/28/10, emphasis in original]
Harvard Business Review Group Director: "[T]he Giant Deficit Is Mainly The Result Of The Collapse In Tax Receipts Brought On By The Recession." In an October 2010 post on his Reuters blog, Justin Fox, editorial director of the Harvard Business Review Group, analyzed the deficit and concluded that it was "mainly the result of the collapse in tax receipts brought on by the recession":
The Treasury Department reported on Oct. 15 that the deficit in fiscal 2010, which ended Sept. 30, was $1.294 trillion. That's less than FY 2009's $1.416 trillion, but it's still really really big. Why is it so big, though? Is it because of all that stimulus and bailout spending? Or is something else going on?
To find out, I created a fantasy world. I figured out how fast federal spending and revenue grew over the last business cycle, from 2000 through 2007, and calculated where we'd be today if those growth rates had continued through 2010. I was originally motivated to do this for a commentary that's supposed to air tomorrow night on Nightly Business Report. But I'm thinking there's not a huge overlap between Felix Salmon readers and Nightly Business Report viewers, so I'll go ahead and share what I learned.
In my no-financial-crisis, no-bailout, no-recession, no-stimulus scenario, spending kept growing at 6.22% a year, and revenue kept growing at 3.45%. You can see from the difference between the two numbers that this was an unsustainable path. But it clearly could have been sustained for a few more years.
Where would it have left us in fiscal 2010? With $2.843 trillion in federal revenue and $3.270 trillion in spending, leaving a deficit of $427 billion. The actual revenue and spending totals for 2010 were $2.162 trillion and $3.456 trillion. So spending was $186 billion higher than if we'd stuck to the trend, and revenue was $681 billion lower. In other words, the giant deficit is mainly the result of the collapse in tax receipts brought on by the recession, not the increase in spending. Nice to know, huh?

I can't (and wouldn't try to) guide your personal choice.
Instead, I'll suggest what I always do, when someone asks a question like this: Go to a range where they rent time with various guns. Try shooting as many of them as you can afford. Pick the one that feels best in your own hand, and which doesn't malfunction.
Bear in mind that short-barrel, short-handled pistols are very difficult to shoot well. It takes lots of practice and experience.
If you find a snubbie that feels good, but seems inaccurate, don't worry: The gun is OK; the problem is in your technique. Almost all well-made modern guns are acceptably accurate for self-defense. Most shooters are not.

I love the internet. Tonight, I was searching for something completely different and up popped a Youtube video for this incredibly cool Android app.
Experience dynamic augmented reality driving and real-time collision detection
iOnRoad™ delivers a visual radar by combining realtime day/night machine vision with sensor fusion. iOnRoad then calculates the time gap and collision potential with other vehicles and warns of high risk events.
Check out the youtube video of the app in action: http://youtu.be/pdt-28sQJAc
The music is terrible, but the technology is amazing.
Computer Vision based collision detection without stereo vision.
Views: 1415
that's pretty neat. But the technology is straightforward. Its showing the time behind the vehicle in front, tracking the road like an optical mouse tracks the surface of your desk, except there's an adjustment for perspective.
If the highway has dotted-lines this would be really easy! I'm not saying its trivial, there's still a bunch of work, but there exists such a body of SW and so much compute power that people won't take notice of these things in the near future. What was fiction a few years ago .....
I have always been interested in information processing. It seems to be at the core of all things, whether it's DNA, binary, or social. I think it is inevitable that we will decode all there is to decode, perhaps in a generation, perhaps in a thousand years. If we don't wipe ourselves out as a species, we will eventually create technology and software complex enough to contain sentience.
I have been a filmmaker for the past decade, as well as an actor and fashion model, so my social experiences have been quite interesting. Before that, I was killing my able mind with drug addiction. I've been surrounded by hollywood, and rubbed shoulders with the affluent, and I've been surrounded by junkies and criminals. My take on society and human culture follows the same lines as my take on technology: systems analysis and information processing. That's all there really is. Strip away our human natures, our perception of mortality and the need to 'survive' and 'evolve', and we are left with what we truly are: information processors. As is society at large, and the ecosystem... all forms of information being processed and flowing and evolving. I would assume the universe is the same, and I wouldn't be surprised if all the cosmos did display signs of intelligence and sentience.. processing all the bits and bytes of light and stars and... well.. doesn't take much to see where I'm going with this.
Before film, and before my reckless days of jugglng University studies and corporate government positions and alcohol/drug addiction, ...before all that... I programmed. I had an intuition with computers immediately, a seven year old laying his eyes for the first time on a tandy color computer... on a commodore 64... Atari. Game programming.. processing inputs and visual outputs... it has always intrigued me, and makes sense in the way that only mathematics can: it's pure; it's perfect.
I recently got back into the tech world with my new free data plan, which led to a smartphone (why have unlimited data if you're not gonna use facebook to it's fullest?!).. and my ultra-cheap mobile plan (Wind) didn't do the iPhone, so I went Android. Thank the Universe I did! I quickly found that I could root, mod, and program linux on the device, and thanks to Google's dedication to development and 'open-source', I was soon coding in the Python language on sl4a for android, developing apps for the Android Market, particularely in A.I.
An avid watcher of Ted-talks, I was pressed to investigate ocr technology, as it used to cost a blind person $10,000 USD to get a device that could snap a picture of a book page and read it back in english. I planned and developed an app for android that would do this for free. Now, anyone can download it, if you're interested here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davecote.seesay (it's not revolutionary, but it's A.I. in it's infancy..) this led me to make more advanced versions, including one that does the image-to-speech, but in ANY language, translating text after performing the ocr on it. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davecote.seesaytr...)
Finally, further researching A.I. and possible uses of society's new-found obsession with smartphones and social media, I decided it would be great to perform true computer vision. Image analysis, such as surf; orb.. along with title/meta analysis, to extract a most likey result of what that image 'is'. With online technology where it's at, we have a limitless volume of data to compare against, and so it was possible to create "Android Eye", a smartphone app that analyzes a picture, and not only performs surf, orb, and other image analysis methods, but also compares these results against the limitless supply of online pictures... the end result: the app speaks aloud what it 'thinks' the image is, and shows openly it's thought process as it's determining it's thought processes. An instant hit! Over a thousand installs and I just released it!!!
Android Eye is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davecote.androide...
So now, I am going to get into Robotics, and would really love some insight into the bluebrain project, google's cat-watching-youtube neural-net brain, asimo, and other advanced "thinking" robotics.
Please email me if you have any leads for me, I don't have a million bucks, so I rely on open-source, but I do tend to learn quickly and have alot of time on my hands, I can be reached at:
info (at )davecote.com
I look forward to any interesting emails:)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/11/2013 (1319 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On Nov. 10, Brandon Police Service officers executed a search warrant at a residence in the 600-block of Franklin Street.
Police found a number of drugs during the search, including seven grams of cocaine, 50 grams of marijuana, and a large quantity of what is believed to be benzocaine.
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that is commonly found in cough drops or topical pain medication.
It is often used as a cutting agent to thin cocaine to increase the volume of product.
Some cash was also seized and to men, ages 22 and 25, were arrested and are scheduled to appear back in court in January on charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

text: I have had Tivo service for 7 years and have had the HD Tivo since it came out. I decided it was time for an upgrade and purchased a Tivo Premier with lifetime service (Wish I got that on my last Tivo, I would have saved hundreds). When it arrived, the audio had issues, and I had Comcast issues. I spend 5 nights in the phone with both Tivo and Comcast. Comcast always said its Tivos problem, Tivo usually said it was Comcasts problem, although Tivo finally said it was broken and I should exchange it or return it. It was only one week since I got it, and since there was a 30 days return policy I decided just to return it as I didnt feel like wasting more time setting up a new one, and I would keep using my old one which still works fine. I was transferred to Returns and told the address and RMA number etc. After Tivo got my unit back, they e-mailed me and said they will be refunding only the $63.90 purchase price. I called and asked why they are not refunding the full $463.89 I paid and they said the life time service is valid only for the lifetime of the box, and as that box is broken, the life time service has ended. They would not budge. I called back and asked the same question and mentioned that it was within the 30 day return period, this time they told me the refund of the service only applies to new customers, not existing ones, and that I am not eligible for a refund of the $399.99. I am furious to say the least. I thought the 30 day return policy covered both the box and service. I am at my wits end and feel like I have just been scammed out of $399.99. I dont know what to do.
