In our little household, we have something called the "circle of trust." A phrase we picked up from the movie, Meet the Fockers, years ago. So it seems apropos with the third installment of Meet the Fockers coming out this week, that our circle might be put to the test.
The "circle of trust" consists of my husband, myself and our three children. And those in the circle know there are things mommy says "in" the home, that we don't repeat "outside" of the home.
Dear Ken: What's Dan Aykroyd done lately? I haven't seen him in a movie in ages.
Aykroyd, 58, has only made about three films in the past five years: "I Now Pronounce You Larry & Chuck," "War, Inc." and "Yogi Bear," opening Dec. 17, in which he provides the voice of Yogi.
However, he has appeared in several episodes of the TV show "According to Jim," which stars James Belushi, and he will be doing the voice of the Scarecrow in a 2012 animated version of "The Wizard of Oz." Belushi will do the Cowardly Lion, Kelsey Grammer the Tin Man and Lea Michele will speak for Dorothy.
The best news is that Danny boy, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis will be making "Ghostbusters III" for a 2012 release.

First of all, I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Some people seem to stray away from that word, as if it's politically incorrect, using the word "holiday" instead. If it wasn't for the birth of our Savior, Jesus, there would be no holiday, period, so rejoice and be thankful that we celebrate his birth.
My feeders have been running over with all the activity from the many different species eating there. The Goldfinch have been ignoring the special feeders for them which got me outdoors to see why they were not eating their Purina Finch Feast. Back when we had the rainy period with high wind gust the rain blew into the feeders at the food ports and caused a problem with the tiny holes becoming blocked. Now that I took the feeders apart, washed them and refilled them, the Goldfinch are back eating and seem to be happy. Sometimes the actions of your avian friends will let you know when there is some kind of a problem with your feeders.
With all the snow we had, there was a great probability of having unusual birds feeding in your yard. My good friend, Karen Franklin, sent me several pictures asking for help in identifying some of the different species. Karen was pretty sure of what she was seeing, but needed her "bird guru's" help just to be sure. First of all she had the normal birds there along with a few she was not sure of. She always has a male White-throated Sparrow that finds her yard year after year. After looking at Karen's picture, I was positive that she had Song Sparrows at her home. A little later, I received another photo of a different bird.

Special to The Wilson Post
The bed that John Marion Pickard Jr. was born in still remains in the corner of the room from where he first saw the light of day on June 25, 1913. His home place, built in 1829 in the Rutherford County community of Lascassas, like the bed, still belongs in the family and is the abode of his son, John M. Pickard III.
A handsome man with a strong voice, Pickard would leave the family farm, located about four miles south of the Wilson County line, in the early 1940s for New York City, serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II and eventually wind up in Hollywood where he filled the boots of cowpokes in dozens of western movies and TV series.
This week's release of "True Grit," a new retelling of the 1969 film that earned John Wayne his Oscar, stars Jeff Bridges in Wayne's old role as Marshal Rooster Cogburn. The movie also revives reflections of Pickard, who appeared in the first few minutes of the '69 western before his character, Frank Ross, was murdered, setting off the chain of events that leads a teenage girl to track down the killer of her father.

Just about everything you need to know abut the MDR-XB500's is in the XB of the model number. XB equals extra bass, and tells you that the MDR-XB500s are part of Sony's recently launched range of headphones and earphones aimed specifically at delivering a more powerful bass sound than the more general purpose MDR-EX and MDR-XD ranges.
In fact, Sony claims that it analysed sound across all types of music to create drivers specially tuned for R&B, hip-hop and dub. To give you some idea, the XB500 specifications list a frequency range of 4 to 24,000Khz, and while I'd take such figures with, let's say, a good truck-full of salt, there's no question that the XB500s go very, very deep and very, very low.
And I mean it. Give the Sony's something like Massive Attack's Inertia Creeps to work with and you don't quite so much listen to the music as feel it, every big beat and low bass note hitting you like an earthquake going off somewhere deep below your feet. Oddly, it's not a bad experience in any way. The bass isn't harsh or excessive or booming; in fact it's actually quite smooth and well controlled. It's just that it's there in a way you probably haven't heard it before, and it does dominate the rest of the audio spectrum.
It's not that the XB500s can't deliver any sort of detail at the high end, it's more that top-end clarity, definition and sparkle isn't really its thing. These are headphones designed to produce great results from a few musical genres, and the rest can pretty much go hang.
When they're good, the XB500s can be very good. Some headphone aficionados will talk of headphones that replicate the 'in the studio' sound or the live band sound or the concert hall sound, and the XB500s do something similar: recreating the sound of a really good club.
The big 40mm Neodymium drivers probably help, as does an acoustic design aimed at channelling the bass signal straight into your ear. Sure, there's not a lot of room for fine detail at the top end, but what you do get is big, warm and deeply immersive - as long as you play the right music.
DJ Shadow's Fixed Income, for example, gives you a pretty good idea of how rich and atmospheric the XB500s can go. The beats sound huge; the bass-heavy textures beneath the guitar parts are impossibly thick and yet beautifully defined. Other headphones might capture the weird harpsichord sounds with more fidelity, but not many headphones under £100 will give you the track with this kind of atmosphere.

John Fry, chief executive of Johnston Press, is leaving the group after just two years.
A statement on the company's website merely says that he "has notified the board of his intention to step down from his role by March 2012."
The announcement came just ahead of the release of the company's results for 2010, which showed pre-tax profits of £16.5m for the year, up from a £113m pre-tax loss in 2009. Its operating profit of £54.9m was dramatically better than the operating loss of £90.6m in 2009.
Fry took over the helm at Johnston - which publishes
The Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post among its 300 titles - in January 2009.
He has not managed to turn around a group that was already in deep trouble when he arrived following the departure of Tim Bowdler.
Its share price was low then, but it has declined further during Fry's stewardship. Yesterday, it was trading at just 12.25p, giving it a capital value of £78m. By 9.30am, the price had plunged by more than 20%, taking the market cap down to £62.1m.
Only four days ago, Fry announced the appointment of a new chief financial officer, Grant Murray.
Before moving to Johnston, Fry ran the Norwich-based Archant group for six years after being president of the information company Dun & Bradstreet. He started his career with Procter & Gamble.

Ever wonder why kids want to grow up to be astronauts? It's not because they're excited about space exploration. No, it's the food they're fed at an early age. With options like Mish Mash, no wonder they want excuses to eat packaged food again. This stuff is so good that we wouldn't blame you for taking a nibble yourself now and then.
According to the web-site, these products are kosher when bearing the O-U. Does this batch that is being sold on Woot! have the kosher symbol? Would I get a refund/return if not?
Hi danflek, our Tots Mish Mash pouches are indeed kosher certified, however, our Fruit Mish Mash packaging does not berain the kosher symbol. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please email us at email@example.com if you have any questions. Thanks! -Plum Organics
Look good, I know my daughter loves the applesauce ones. Will have to try them out next sale, if I can get to them in time!
I bought this, but only received 6 pouches instead of 24. Did anyone else have this problem?

Softbank Plans to Refinance Sprint's Acquisition Cost
Posted by: Live investor (IP Logged)
Date: September 12, 2013 03:55PM
The wireless industry is experiencing several twists particularly from smaller carriers. Several consolidations took place between smaller telecom players in the recent past to fight the growing duopoly of Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T). One such is that of Sprint (S) which sold 78% controlling stake to Japanese telecom giant Softbank for $21.6 billion. The acquisition battle for Sprint was won after a long bidding fight with Dish Network (DISH) which rigorously kept counter bidding for the third largest U.S. carrier.
Dish's purpose is to enter the wireless industry since it wishes to diversify from its core business of satellite television where it has been losing subscribers and facing competition. On the other, Softbank was extremely keen to enter the U.S. wireless market to increase competition.
Softbank has huge plans to give a solid financial and technical backing to Sprint to equip the Kansas carrier to contend its larger rivals. As per a statement made by Tokyo Stock Exchange, at the moment the Japanese carrier is trying to arrange a loan of approximately $20 billion to refinance the debt that it had taken to fund its stake for Sprint. Softbank would receive a loan of $3 billion from government affiliated financial institutions. Let's delve a little deeper into the situation.
Delving Deeper
Softbank is said to be in talks with 19 banks to sign a loan agreement tomorrow. People familiar with the situation said that this would help the Japanese telecom provider to cut its borrowing costs. The company's loan will be pooled from various lenders including Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., Mizuho Bank Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. Other financial institutions such as Development Bank of Japan, Deutsche Bank AG and Japan Bank for International Cooperation shall also contribute towards the loan.
Some industry observers wonder if Softbank's decision to acquire Sprint was correct as it burdens the already debt heavy balance sheet of the Japanese company with further debt load. On this, Softbank's President Masayoshi Son argues that banks are most willingly extending their support to refinance the company which reinforces Softbank's growth potential and business acumen. Masayoshi is very confident that the company will post solid earnings this year. This would be primarily driven by addition of new subscribers during the year. Moreover Sprint's deal would help the carrier save as much as $2 billion by sharing purchases of handsets and network equipment.
The amount raised from the refinancing agreement would be partially used to finance Sprint's acquisition. The rest will be used to settle of maturing debt, and the remaining would be used to pay back some debt pertaining to eAccess Ltd which Softbank acquired in January.
My Takeaway
Softbank has taken a bold step in acquiring Sprint on debt. The company has huge plans to boost the roll out of the 4G LTE Network Vision of Sprint so that it can effectively contest Verizon's and AT&T's tyranny. It would be interesting to see how things take shape in the US wireless world after the recent acquisition in the industry. Even T-Mobile (TMUS) is charged up after it joined forces with regional carrier MetroPCS. Both Verizon and AT&T are finally feeling the heat from smaller national carriers Sprint and T-Mobile. I believe Sprint's acquisition by Softbank is a boon to the U.S. carrier as it is not only receiving financial backing from the deep pocketed telecom player, but also gaining from the telecom giant's enormous expertise in the wireless arena.

1. Don't let the statement necklace do all of the talking.
The statement necklace surely has a lot to say, but don't let the rest of your outfit go unheard! Style the neck piece with complementary colors and textures.
2. Learn to make yourself appear taller.
There are a lot of tricks out there to help you appear taller. A tall heel covered by a longer pant is a great fix. They won't know where your legs end and your shoes begin!
4. Learn how to tie a scarf.
There are more than 25 ways to tie a scarf. Just learn how to do a couple! Or at least one…
5. Use stripes to your advantage.
Horizontal stripes accentuate width, while vertical and diagonal stripes give the illusion of elongating the body.
6. Don't forget about comfort.
You can still look super chic while feeling like you're at home on the couch! Garments made from cotton provide unrivaled comfort.
7. The little black dress is the gift that keeps on giving.
Transition effortlessly from work to an evening out with this wardrobe staple. The styling possibilities are endless.
8. How to properly roll up your sleeves.
There's a science and art to it. Step-by-step instructions here.
9. Avoid mixing clashing prints and patterns.
Too many clashing patterns can seem gaudy and harsh.
10. How to find the perfect pair of jeans.
Stick to natural fabrics like cotton and avoid jeans with too much elastane. They don't keep their shape and might end up with saggy, overstretched knees.
11. Don't be afraid to start a trend.
Anyone can influence fashion. Don't be afraid to mix it up and try new things!
12. And most of all, don't forget to have fun!
Fashion doesn't have to be stuffy or rigid. Sure, there are rules, but all rules are meant for breaking, right?

400gr X 416 Remington Mag NOT Enough For GRIZZ?
This is my first "NEW TOPIC" post on this forum and I wanted it to be a good one that might help someone... This just happened in Alaska, so it is kinda' timely. Rifle in question is supposed to be a re-barrelled SAKO - pushfeed style instead of controlled feed.

Hunting guide mauled by wounded brown bear
ATTACK: Scott Newman attributes incident to two cardinal errors.
By PETER PORCO
Anchorage Daily News
(Published: April 28, 2004)
Scott Newman, a hunting guide from Petersburg, recovers in the Sitka Community Hospital on Tuesday.
Scott Newman of Petersburg says he's naturally a calm person. He proved it Monday evening as a wounded brown bear on Admiralty Island crunched the bones of his left foot and moved up to chew on his leg while Newman methodically tried to free a jam in his rifle.
By the time the bear chomped on his inner thigh, Newman let go of the rifle and his hope for another shot and tried pushing the animal away with his hands. The bear then began cracking the bones of his right hand and forearm.
Newman, a 39-year-old hunting and fishing guide, told the story of his mauling Tuesday by telephone from his bed at Sitka Community Hospital. He was bandaged and in splints. Doctors had yet to close his puncture wounds, so as to let them drain. He was in a lot of pain, he said.
Nevertheless, he spoke matter-of-factly, going over details with precision, and blaming himself for two mistakes, neither of them very rare on guided hunts.
Newman has been guiding for 17 years, 12 of them as proprietor of his own business. He is called a "superb guide" on the Web site of Field & Stream magazine.
Monday was the last day of a 10-day bear hunt in the vicinity of Pybus Bay in the southeast corner of Admiralty, about 75 miles south of Juneau. His client was a textile businessman from Mexico City. Others on the trip included the client's wife; Newman's 15-year-old nephew, Levi Newman, who worked as his assistant guide; and a cook.
"We saw only 10 bears for the whole trip," Newman said. That included a decent-sized bear on the fifth day, which they let go. On Monday, from Newman's skiff on Little Pybus Bay, they spotted a boar along the beach of the small peninsula that separates the smaller bay from the bigger one.
"I parked the skiff downwind of the bear and we did our final stalk on foot," Newman said. The bear busied itself behind a bunch of driftwood logs. They'd see a leg, then its head. It seemed to back away.
Newman next made the first of his mistakes, he said: He left the side of his hunter and crawled toward the water for a better look. When the bear started climbing over the logs, the client became excited and fired two or three rounds.
"I wasn't able to whisper, 'Wait 'til he turns his side,'" Newman said. He now fired several rounds of his own, big 400-grain bullets from a .416 Remington Magnum.
"I think I got a frontal shot," he said. "I thought I really hit him hard. I was pretty confident he'd be dead" in the brush where the animal ran.
Now came what Newman considers his second mistake. It was 7 p.m. and would be dark in two hours. He didn't want to wait until morning to skin the bear, not with another hunt coming up in a few days. He decided then to follow it, to ensure it was dead and to skin the carcass while they had light.
Newman found a large pool of blood where the bear had been hit and a spoor leading away from the beach into the brush.
He zig-zagged across the trail, circling quietly. It was clear the bear was bleeding from both sides. Newman guessed it had been hit as many as half-a-dozen times.
"I was fairly concerned because he'd gone quite a ways. There was dark blood. I knew he was hurt, but I didn't think he was mortally wounded, so I probably had a live animal on my hands."
Newman was looking at the ground when he heard a twig break. He slipped the safety off and heard a low roar.
"He was ticked off," he said. "He appeared instantaneously. He looked like a freight train coming at me. I knew I had to make the shot really count. I took an extra split second, leaned into it and torched it off. I was fairly certain I hit him in the chest."
He worked the bolt to chamber a second round but "short-stroked it," jamming the rifle. "****," he said as the bear barrelled forward, knocking him down.
"Now I'm on my back kicking this bear in the head, trying to get him off me. He's biting my left foot, giving me a compound fracture, crunching the bones in my left leg. I'm trying to get my gun to work."
Newman feared that a bad tear in his thigh could sever the femoral artery, so when the bear bit him there, he switched tactics.
After the boar chomped his hands, however, it broke off suddenly, turned to the side, turned back as if still interested in Newman, but finally walked away.
"When he dropped down, he appeared very sick," Newman said. He thinks the bear, found dead later just yards from that spot, was then only moments from dying.
"It was that frontal shot at 10 feet," Newman said. "It was a mortal shot, and he had just another 30 seconds to live, and in the meantime he chewed on me very good."
As soon as the bear turned away, Newman grabbed his rifle and ran 25 yards away -- on adrenalin, he said.
"I sat down and started yelling for help, then realized I had my hand-held (radio) and called the Coast Guard. ... 'I need a helicopter now,' " he told them, worried still about the femoral artery.
The artery was intact, although Newman did lose a lot of blood. But he never lost consciousness.
"I had a definite sense of calmness. I was very calm about the whole thing. I don't know where it came from. That's just the way I am. I was never freaked out about it. I just knew what I had to do to get out of that situation."
Levi Newman and a man from a nearby lodge helped stabilize him until he was evacuated by Coast Guard helicopter 90 minutes after the mauling.
Levi also worked to skin the bear and get the hide and the others back to Petersburg on Tuesday evening.
The Associated Press
ADMIRALTY ISLAND, Alaska A hunting guide on a 10-day trip with a client was attacked by a bear near Pybus Bay on Admiralty Island in southeast Alaska.
Scott D. Newman, 39, of Petersburg was picked up from the island by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and taken to Sitka for treatment of multiple broken bones, Alaska state troopers said.
Newman, a licensed guide, told troopers he and his client were on the last day of their trip Monday when they spotted the bear, which they stalked to until they could get a good shot.
The client fired at the bear twice, and hit it, and Newman also fired at the bear.
The bear ran into some brush, and Newman followed. The bear turned and charged, troopers said, and Newman fired again.
The bear bit Newman on the legs and arms and then turned away and lay down, giving Newman a chance to pull out his radio and call for the Coast Guard for help.

I'm glad to hear the fella survived, he's lucky. It just goes to prove that caliber matters a whole lot less then shot placement.

Is that the lesson you get from this event?
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Here's another one - a couple were attacked after the husband tried to kill a Grizz...
Injured grizzly attacks hunter
HARROWING: Woman kills bear at close range as it attacked her husband.
By Peter Porco
Anchorage Daily News
(Published: September 14, 2002)
In 35 years of hunting, Larry J. Miller of Wasilla has seen 100 bear kills, he said, including 10 of his own. But he'd never before seen the fight in a wounded bear like the grizzly his wife killed early this week as it was attacking him.
The day before, Miller shot the bear twice from 200 yards, ripping out flesh and shattering bones but apparently leaving the bear strong enough to walk away bleeding puddles in the alders of a mountainside near the Denali Highway.
The bear did not die until the following day as they searched for the animal, and not until Larry's 50-year-old wife, Brinda Miller, shot it three more times in the chest at close range with a .338-caliber rifle while it tangled with her husband.
Miller didn't know how the animal was able to stand and keep charging him.
While skinning it afterward, the couple saw that "the bear's heart wasn't even there," he said. "The part that holds your shoulders together, it was just demolished."
Larry Miller's right calf was punctured a few times by the bear's teeth, but he suffered no other injuries. His wife was unhurt.
"There ain't a man alive that done what she done," he said about his wife, a 100-pound woman he calls his "hunting buddy."
Miller, who'll be 53 later this month, and his wife and their dog were after caribou near Butte Lake, a few miles south of Mile 40 on the Denali Highway. On Monday, after riding six-wheel off-road vehicles to a spot where they'd seen numerous caribou, Miller shot a big one, he said.
They dressed the animal and took it a quarter-mile to a small unnamed lake on the mountain. It was about 4 p.m., and Miller looked down and saw the grizzly eating berries in an open patch.
"My wife says, 'You gonna shoot it?' 'I don't know,' " he said. "We spent an hour looking at it."
The winds were strong, however, and Miller feared the bear would soon catch their scent, so he decided to shoot it, he said. In telling the story, he always referred to the bear as a "him," knowing, as they found out later, it was a sow.
"I popped him, hit him right above his shoulders," he said. The bear ran in a panicked circle. Miller fired again. He would learn later his second shot hit it in the leg. The bear disappeared in the alders, and the Millers waited a spell before heading down.
In the berry patch, they found "meat the size of a tennis ball, and whole pieces of bone I shot out of him," said Miller.
"You ain't never seen so much blood in your life," Miller said. "I said, 'He's got to be dead."'
The blood trail ended, however, near a creek coming down from the lake.
"Man, this ain't good," Miller remembered thinking. "We'll come back in the morning and he'll be dead, and we'll take care of him then."
They rode eight miles to camp near the highway and hung the caribou meat. Next morning, they were back above the alders. Looking down to where the bear's trail ran out, they saw a small flock of ravens.
"He's dead right there," Miller said. "Not a problem."
They shed rain gear, coveralls and other heavy clothing and headed down into the alders. For 40 minutes, they zigzagged but without a sign of the grizzly. "Well, I've had enough," he said. "We need to get out of here. Something ain't right."
They returned to where Miller first shot it and spent an hour searching through the alders. Their dog, a Russian bear dog, said Miller, was ahead of them and now came tearing back, followed by the sow that Miller says he didn't really see clearly until it was on top of him.
"The noise it made, like nothing you've ever heard -- snapping, snapping, snapping. This happened in two seconds. He knew who I was. He could smell my guns or the caribou meat on me, something."
The bear hit him and he fell back and started kicking as the grizzly tried to bite his face and neck, he said. He struggled to take the safety off of his rifle, a powerful .458. The bear was biting him across his calf.
He yelled for his wife to shoot. The final act in the two-day drama occurred as man, woman and bear struggled in a tight cluster no farther from each other than 5 feet, Miller said.
"She stuck the gun over my face and fired." The stunned bear hung back, breathing froth and spurting blood. "There was this horrible noise out of his throat," Miller said.
"The next time he grabbed me between the ankle and calf and picked me up and shook me like I was a half-a-pound kid."
Miller was only a few feet from the bear's chest and his wife was afraid she'd hit him, but she fired again.
"She's not even aiming," he said. "She's just pointing like you point a stick at the big part of his body. Every time she pulled the trigger, he'd put me down."
The third hit finished the grizzly but not before it stood swaying and finally fell forward.
Brinda Miller started to cry.
"I told her, 'You did good, you did good,' " he said...

Dark blood is indicative of a non heart or lung shot. Could be liver - whatever it's not a great shot even on a deer let alone a bear
Pieces of meat and bone prove nothing.
Non fatal wounds are non fatal wounds after a night has passed.
Non CNS shots on animals don't stop (at least not with enough regularity to be depended upon)animals quickly. If the animal needs to be killed quickly don't be surprised if it doesn't work
Once the first shot has hit the wrong place things go downhill instantly. Subsequent shots have lesser effect because of adrenalin in the animal making it stronger and adrenaline in the hunter making them less accurate.
Short stroking will cause problems in a CRF too.

The 375 H&H with the 270 Barnes will stop a grizzly. A 416 with a 400 Barnes will definitely stop the Grizzly.
Poor shot placement is poor shot placement.
Stupid Mistakes are stupid Mistakes.

Newman next made the first of his mistakes, he said: He left the side of his hunter and crawled toward the water for a better look. When the bear started climbing over the logs, the client became excited and fired two or three rounds.

He did not properly instruct his clients on when or where to shoot.

You've got to be kidding me! He is impatient and goes after an animal that he is not even sure of where it has been hit.
In the other story, the guy shot an animal from 200 yards away when it was adjecent to the brush. The he goes looking for it without certainty of a mortal wound.
I didn't hear anything in either story of well planned and well placed shots NOT dropping animals. Also, there was never a mention in either story of a sidearm or backup weapon. It seems that a holstered pistol would have improved both of those situations.

A big gun only gives you a little room for error. Put the bullet where it needs to go and you win, even with a small gun. With quick, unplanned shots, even the biggest gun will get you into trouble. All this talk about getting the biggest gun you can find is funny. A 30 cal that you shoot well is much better than a 375 or 416 you got from a friend and shot a few times before the hunt.

Turkey is in one respect an amazing story for a Muslim majority nation in the Middle East. It retains the basic ingredients of a democratic society in which people of diverse views and religions can live in peace and harmony. The Justice and Development Party led by Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has rid the country of its long term military elite and allowed civilians to control the nation's destiny. However, in the process of ending military rule, Prime Minister Erdogan has instituted a semi-democratic government which does not enjoy criticism by members of the media. At this point, Turkey leads the world in placing members of the media in jail. Erdogan does not like either critical articles in newspapers nor people in the streets demonstrating for human rights.
To make the situation even more confusing, President Abdullah Gul is a champion of human rights and supports efforts by the media to present their version of what is the truth. He recently pointed out to Prime Minister Erdogan, "sometimes, because of the nature of the media, it is generally expected to be critical." He went on to point out that if you attempt to prevent it from being so critical, "then it stops being the media, it becomes something else."
He emphasized that what makes Turkey important is "its dynamic power, young population, and its industrious people."
Free the journalists and make Turkey a symbol of democracy!

Stop Press: Jeremy Corbyn wins economists' backing for anti-austerity policies (Former adviser to Bank of England among signatories to letter dismissing criticism of economic plans, saying they are 'not extreme')
'Jeremy Corbyn's opposition to austerity is actually mainstream economics' - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/22/jeremy-corbyn-economists-backing-anti-austerity-policies-corbynomics
In Britain today it is all 'power' politics and where there is NO difference between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party when it comes to the wishes of the rich and powerful, and NOT the wishes of the vast majority of the people (90% of the UK population at least).
That is why apparently even the Labour Party's high command wants to destroy their heritage in many ways and where they have come from - the Party once for the majority of the people. Indeed two of the present Labour leadership candidates are from the Blair Administration with Blair indoctrinated values that fermented personal greed and personal vested-interests at the top, as Blair has shown clearly since leaving office and where the other out of the four is according to some media information, more of a Conservative candidate than a Labour candidate. All three of course do not wish Corbyn to become their NEW leader, as they know he has the fundamental virtues and values that the Labour Party was founded with - people caring and 'for all' qualities.
Indeed the people are crying out for politicians who 'really' represent them and a new breed of political leaders to emerge. In Corbyn they have that and it is a bit like 'back to the future'.
For what has happened over the last 20 years is that both the Labour Party and the Tories have become inseparable in terms of Party values and where the rich get everything, the toffee and the ha'penny. In both Party cases, politics of the people have been surmounted and substituted for the politics of the super-rich and the mighty corporations. Indeed it is now more important for the Party to be in power than to clearly represent the people, who are now second rate in the politics of both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. There is no difference as power behind the throne has become king.
Now Blair and his ilk are coming out of the woodwork to preserve the status quo of the Labour Party's Blairite position, that does in essence no good in the long term for the people of the UK, only for those financial backers of the Party (the rich and powerful individual party donors and the large corporate donors et al). They have been bought in other words and where the people only get the crumbs off the table, as long as the rich and powerful people and corporations behind the throne allow it.
Therefore Corbyn should be seen as a breath of fresh air and similar to Farage as a change-master in many ways. But, of course the present guard in the Labour Party will try their best and with all their might to look after their rich donors, as they privately made subtle deals behind closed doors whilst in office (much like Blair) and who are looked after handsomely by the State and through lucrative private employment and sponsorship deals once out of politics.
That is what politics is all about today, not what you can do for your country as Kennedy once expressed, but what you can get out of the country for yourself.
For that is where it has all gone wrong and in the Labour Party's case, Blair started this immoral slide down the slippery path of democratic corruption many years ago.
Indeed if both the Tories and Labour continue on this same path of enriching their donors and financial supporters together with themselves and not the vast majority of the people, civil disobedience, revolution and anarchy will be the eventual outcome. For there can be no other dire outcome if things do not change for 9 out of 10 people living in Britain today.
But does the present Labour leadership care? Apparently not, as they are doing their best to stop Jeremy Corbyn becoming the next leader of the Labour Party, for as they know if that happens, their number is up. The word on the street is, now we can't have that now can we, as we shall all lose out on all our perks and private agreements behind closed doors that we have secured if that happens. Something that has not to be the case at all costs and to hell with the people in reality, as they are only a means to an end.
Indeed in one case to show how the Labour leadership has changed entirely and moved to the other end of the spectrum, Liz Kendall told the Labour Party (according to media information) that it should not have supported the Palestinians and should have sided with Israel, thus forgetting the dire plight of the 'underdog' (Labour should not have voted to recognise Palestine, says leadership candidate Liz Kendall - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-should-not-have-voted-to-recognise-palestine-says-leadership-candidate-liz-kendall-10403675.html). How can Labour have drifted so far to the 'Right' it has to be asked and where some media reporting has stated that Kendall could have been a Conservative MP? The reason is clear, Kendall and the others, other than Corbyn of course, cite that Labour will be unelectable if they go more to the 'left' (the Labour Party's roots). But unelectable for who it has to be asked, for themselves or for the people? The last 20 years has shown that it is the former, as the people's wishes have in the main fallen on deaf ears, but where the pockets of labour leaders and Blairite politicians in the main, have been richly filled and are still being constantly filled today. In this respect it is estimated by some international and national media outlets that Blair is now worth between £100 million and £200 million since leaving office (for Blair receives as a single example, according to the mainstream media, $7 million a year from the President of Kazakhstan - for God knows what it has to be said, but where it certainly is not for advice on how a democracy should be run or for peace) and Gordon Brown who was last year the highest paid politician in Westminster with his external income that amounted to around £1 million. This has all to change and Labour has to go back to filling the pockets of the people of this great country and where for this to happen, only a change in thinking and people's universal philosophy can do this. Corbyn in my mind is the right person to do this as a future British Prime Minister, after becoming the Leader of the Labour Party. For in my opinion also, Corbyn will do this as he believes in humanitarian values.
But it has to be stated that there is a great fallacy in what most people perceive and basically think about who actually runs the country. In this respect it is not the prime minister or Downing Street that actually runs the country and makes government function, but Whitehall and the Civil Service. So it does not matter if you have a monkey as prime minister living in no.10 Downing Street, as things will just run as they were if someone like Blair was still in power. That is a fact and the reason why political leaders and those at the top in the Labour Party and Conservative Party are more interested in the private deals that they can secure whilst in office and for when they retire from governing the country. They are now therefore I believe more interested in personal benefits than making the lives of the people better. That is due of course to personal vested-interests and where greed drives such people at the top, not doing good for all, based upon historical information. That is why Corbyn is also the right man to change all this, for both the long-term public good and the good of the nation.

Indeed, you only have to look at what the Labour Government did to 90% of the people by allowing the banks to get totally out of control. For the majority of people don't know either that in 2003 and a clear 5-years before the financial meltdown, Greenspan (chairman of the Fed and the world's most powerful central banker at the time), told Blair, Brown and Bush (together with the conservative leadership at the time through 'leaks'), that if they did not rein-in the financial markets, a 'global meltdown/crash' would be inevitable. What did Blair, Brown and Bush do? Absolutely nothing and where the Conservatives (although they knew of Greenspan's profound words), did not put in any strong resistance to what was going on and where this was clearly due to their friends in the 'City', whom of course they did not want to upset.
And also in this respect, because of prudence Brown's relaxation of the 'City's financial regulations and the opening up of the UK's financial services, where control was completely diluted (remember the 'City' was and still is, the financial centre of the world and not New York and therefore what happens in the 'City' affects everyone, even the USA), this so-called liberation of the markets, created the worst financial bubble in the history of the world (far greater than the others in financial terms) that eventually burst and where the people of the UK will be suffering and paying back for these ultimate bad decisions for centuries, not mere decades as people may think. Who would have allowed 130% mortgages without undertake in-depth due diligence, but Brown's liberative financial policy and modus operandi did.
For the debt of the nation is far, far greater than what is perceived by most people and by a factor of 15 equating it to the national debt according to PriceWaterhouseCooper's (PwC) chief economist, one of the world's 'big 4' accountancy corporations. Confirmation of this major unknown fact can be seen by visiting, 'UK's Debt is far more than what people really think' - http://worldinnovationfoundation.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/uks-debt-id-far-more-than-what-people.html

Therefore British politics needs someone like Corbyn more than anything else to bring back a sense of justice and morality into UK politics. If not, things will definitely get far worse for 90%+ of the British people in the future, as the Conservatives and the current carbon-copy Labour Party place their personal agendas above that of the people who voted them into power.
Therefore the British people have just to wake up to what is really happening and where when you delve deep, it is not a pretty sight.
Corbyn would also make for a rarity and where if he eventually became Labour leader and then Prime Minister, things would definitely change for the better of the whole country in my opinion and not just for the very few with more money to burn than they can spend in a lifetime. Indeed, forget about the smokescreens, misinformation and former masquerades that former Labour and Tory Administrations created, as they all failed in reality to make the country prosper long-term by their very nature, and where we have to bring in something that is needed from the past. For this has not to be seen as threat, but as a new era of change for good.
We have therefore to go 'back to the future' in order to make great positive socio-economic progress for the British people and also of course, for a meaningful life for all future British generations to come - including our children, our grandchildren and their children in the 21st century.

Detroit Lion fans and Fantasy owners around the world sat up and took notice when Reggie Bush landed with the Detroit Lions this offseason. An already high-powered Detroit offense now has one of the most explosive and dynamic players in the game in its backfield.
Naturally, our initial inclination is to assume Bush will pile up all sorts of yard and fantasy points. After we step back and clear our heads, however, you'll see that Bush to Detroit is much bigger for the Lions than for his fantasy value.
First and foremost, you have to understand that the presence of Mikel Leshoure in Detroit's backfield is going to limit Bush's touches. Leshoure will likely get most carries in short-yardage situations. I also wouldn't expect Bush to carry the ball too often on first down. I would say eight carries a game is an accurate prediction of what Bush will contribute to Detroit's running game.
His real value will come in the passing game. I expect Bush to either be in the slot or the backfield every time Detroit lines up in the shotgun. I'd also expect him on the field during 2/3 of Detroit's snaps. He'll play the role of both security net and decoy in Detroit's offense, while having some plays specifically designed for him.
To get a better understanding of what Bush will bring to Detroit's offense, I'd suggest looking at Jahvid Best's stats from 2010. That year, Best had 555 yards and four touchdowns on the ground while piling up 487 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
I think Bush is a better rusher, especially between the tackles than Best. I just don't know that he'll put up the same number of carries as Best did in 2010. That said, I would not put 4.5 yards per carry out of the question, which if you multiply that by the eight carries a game I predict Bush will get leaves him with 576 yards. Because of Leshoure's goal-line prowess, I would not expect Bush to score more than 4 touchdowns on the ground.
In terms of being a receiving threat, the lack of a healthy and consistent No. 3 receiver in Detroit's offense bodes well for Bush's production. I think 60 receptions at an average of nine yards per catch is a reasonable projection for 2013, yielding 540 yards. Because of what Bush can do in space, I think he'll find the endzone on at least six of those receptions.
Nobody can predict health, but barring injury, my final stat line for Reggie Bush during the 2013 NFL season is as follows: 128 carries for 576 yard and 4 TDs; 60 receptions for 540 yards and 6 TDS.
For fantasy owners, this means a solid No. 2 running back or flex option on your roster. For Lions fans, it means another prolific offensive threat to help Detroit compete in what is continuing to evolve into the NFL's most explosive offensive division.

Although I experienced some pretty significant bruising, I love my new cheeks. The nurse injectionist was so talented and soft-handed, the difference is amazing. It took years off my face and softened the lines around my nose and mouth.
I don't need filler there now since the Radiesse lifted my cheeks so nicely. Be sure to take bruising precautions before and after your injections, and make sure your injectionist is experienced. Mine was wonderful.

There have been many historical studies of Adolf Hitler but none which came even close to the views of university students in India who have concluded after reading Mein Kampf that is really is a book which explores business strategies. Somehow, lost in their reading was any connection to the anti-Semitic ranting of Hitler or his desire to wreck vengeance on people or his desire to kill and destroy. According to Indian publishers, "the initial print run of 2,000 copies in 2003 sold out immediately and we knew we had a best seller on our hands." University students are the ones who believe this man of evil is somehow a financial or business genius.
Mein Kampf is still a best seller in nations like Turkey where it sold 100,000 copies in the first six months of 2005. It sells thousands of copies in Muslim nations, but the reason for its success in India is truly baffling. Anyone who can explain it?

Generally speaking, if the cost of your product is $100 and your mark up is 20%, your selling price after mark up is $120.
But this is not the case if you're using the MU button in a calculator.
You key in 100/20 MU = 125.
So instead of marking up by 20%, it ended up 25%.
Does anyone know the rationale behind this MU button when used in a calculator ?

George Strait's Missing – Two Legends Nominated for 2011 CMA Awards
As I look over the list of the 2011 CMA award nominees, I notice that George Strait's name is missing from the list. Ever since I started in Country Radio, in 1986, his name has appeared every year as a nominee in some category.
George Strait grabbed his first CMA award in 1985 for male vocalist of the year, and he's the only artist from the '80s, other than Reba McEntire to continuously appear as a nominee over the past few years. It's only natural that with more and more new artists every year, the 'established' acts will have to step back and give the next generation their turn.
While we are missing George Strait and Reba McEntire from the list of CMA nominees, we are very happy to see two legends appear in the Musical Event of the Year Category.
First, Brad Paisley has helped reunite Alabama, the 1981 CMA Group of the Year, for a collaboration honoring their biggest hits, 'Old Alabama.' The song is also up for Music Video of the Year.
Then, we find 75 year old Loretta Lynn, the first CMA Female Vocalist of the year from 1967, up for Musical Event of the Year for her new version of 'Coal Miner's Daughter' with Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert.
Congratulations to this year's legends who were lucky to be recognized for their current work. The 2011 CMA Awards happen on Wednesday, Nov. 9 on ABC.

That is the one of the conclusions drawn by the authors of a new report published today, which reveals for the first time the true size and nature of the British property market.
The report claims that the Inland Revenue extracted more than £1.5 billion in stamp duty from the commercial property industry last year, prompting the creation of a range of complex tax-avoidance structures.
Report author Andrew Scott, associate professor of economics at the London Business School, said: 'The recent increases in stamp duty implicitly suggest that the Government sees property as an asset fixed in supply with no productive role, which can be heavily taxed with no adverse economic consequences.î
According to the British Property Federation, which commissioned the report, 15% of gross domestic product, or £124 billion, is accounted for directly by property, real estate activities and related financial services, as well as rent, and the sector employs two million people. Commercial property alone accounts for 5.6% of all GDP, or £46 billion last year.
The BPF hopes the figures will shock the Government out of what it perceives to be its complacent attitude towards property, and halt the upward trend in stamp duty.
Tax revenue has increased fivefold in five years with the receipts from residential transactions pushing the total Government-take to £3.7 billion in the financial year 2001.
However, there is some evidence in today's report that higher taxes are affecting the market. Although the value of commercial property transactions in England and Wales went up by 12% to £39 billion in the year to June 2001, the number of deals fell by 25% from 122,000 to 92,000.
Tax mitigation schemes have soared as well, although the true level of avoidance is not known.
Liz Peace, the new general director of the BPF, argues that if the highest level of stamp duty were cut from 4% to 2%, tax avoidance schemes would not be so commercially attractive and Government revenues would not be affected.
However, the report will make little impact on next week's Budget. The Chancellor is widely expected to close the existing loopholes in the law that enable tax dodging.

In season two, Nucky and his lieutenants - including young World War I veteran Jimmy Darmody - appear to have solidified their hold on power by rigging an election and getting a crony elected mayor. However, after a bloody KKK attack at Chalky White s bootleg warehouse, Nucky finds his hold on Atlantic City weakened, first by state agents who arrest him for election fraud and ransack his office, then by members of his own inner circle and even his family, who align with Jimmy s father, the aging Commodore Louis Kaestner, in an attempt to oust him altogether. Meanwhile, mobsters like Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Al Capone wait in the wings, looking for the chance to grab a bigger piece of Nucky s pie.

Joe Pia is a world-class attorney who brings a keen mind and understanding of the law. Joe approaches cases from a solution-oriented stand-point, which helps in finding quick resolution for his clients. Furthermore, his interpersonal skills, in-and-out of the court room, has greatly benefited our firm, and would be beneficial to any client looking for expedited solutions to their cases. Joe is truly an advisor and counselor to his clients.
I highly recommend Joe and his firm, PADRM for any personal or corporate work.
Posted by Randy N.
Joe Pia's responsiveness demonstrates a solution-oriented and client-comes-first mantra -- which helps to restore my trust in the legal system. PADRM is on the short list for one of the best firms in the State of Utah; the PADRM scorecard could compete and go toe-to-toe with any firm nationwide. I finally found a firm that can both bill accurately and follow exact instruction. This and other aspects have allowed our firm and PADRM to create a dynamic attorney-client partnership. PADRM is now our trusted counselor and advisor on all legal matters. Without reservation, I highly recommend PADRM for any personal or corporate legal need.

Mr. Pia and his firm Pia Anderson Dorius Reynard & Moss were active in my matter and very responsive. They targeted the focus issue and were efficient. I recommend them.
Posted by Kelly
I have worked with lawyers from both large, multi-national law firms and small boutique firms. Mr. Pia and his firm have provided me with legal services that combine the best of both. A strong grounding in legal expertise and experience, excellent recourses, personal hands-on management and interaction. The services rendered were performed professionally and were highly satisfactory. The results exceeded all expectations.

One major thing I've learned by owning a WRX for the past 4 years is: Damn Subaru, you noisy!
But there's an explanation to every single rattle there, you just have to approach it in a trial & error and elimination way.
I had a very annoying turbo heat shield rattle after I took it off and back on but by using only 3 out of 7 bolts to secure it. It rattled exactly at 2,500 RPMs despite conditions. I was convinced the turbo was kicking the bucket. Took it off (the shield) to test if that's the case, and the noise was gone despite not being able to detect it manually by touch. Things may not appear loose when you inspect them but will produce sounds while under stress and engine vibrations, which exceed strength a human hand can produce.
How about tapping all of the exhaust system (from downpipe all the way to exle-back) with a light hammer or wrench? Do you know if any modding or repairs were done by the previous owner? I can tell you from my experience that whoever took the heat shield off will not use all 7 bolts to put it back on, since it sux, result: say hi to rattles.
Have someone else drive while you listen, or rev the engine while you inspect it under the hood.
If the sounds is very audible, maybe you could record a video clip and post it on youtube so we could hear it?
