Take a sip out of summer with the ultimate in quilting prints, inspired by the stories and colors of traditional folklore!
This bright and colorful Lily Ashbury print from Moda was inspired by a love and appreciation for traditional folk art. From stunning small floral prints to bold flowers popping off bright white fabric, this collection speaks to the passionate tradition of the crafts, colors and stories that have shaped lives and cultures for generations.
Start creating your own fabric story with the Lily Ashbury Folklore collection from Moda**!
Here's what Stephanie Carter, the genius designer behind Lily Ashbury, had to say about this amazing collection:
In one of my the prints [in the collection], I explore traditional Mexican textiles made by the Otomi Indians of Hidalgo. These indigenous Mexican embroideries feature colorful plants and animals. I choose to use minimal colors on my recreation of the Otomi print to give it more of a modern feel. I also gave a nod to needlepoint with one of my prints, as well as a hint of Danish folk art florals.
Before I start designing a new group, I spend lots of time scouring the Internet for inspiration. I use an iPad app called Evernote to clip and store my ideas. This research is very important to my work, as I like to start with a strong concept.
Throughout the design process, my work may take many twists and turns but having an idea in mind helps give the final collection a cohesive feel.
I hope you enjoy creating with Folklore as much as I enjoyed designing it!
How inspiring! The print collection comes in every cut you could dream of: Fat Quarter, Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and a 4-yard cut — perfect for whatever projects your imagination can dream up!
Need a little project inspiration? We've got you covered! Try out the Dewdrops Quilt Kit! This beautiful kit includes the bright and colorful 1/2-yard cuts of the stunning Folklore fabric. The stunning hues come together to form a lovely scalloped quilt that you'll want to show off all season long!

Don Quixote is the classic story. Called the first modern novel, this marvelous book has stood the test of time to become irrevocably intertwined with the fabric of society. Sixteenth-century Spanish gentleman Don Quixote, fed by his own delusional fantasies, takes to the road in search of chivalrous adventures. But his quest leads to more trouble than triumph. At once humorous, romantic, and sad, Don Quixote is a literary landmark. This fresh edition, by award-winning translator Edith Grossman, brings the tale to life as never before.
©2003 Edith Grossman (translation) (P)2003 Recorded Books
I listen to books on my commute at 1.75 speed. I like umpiring books, corny sci-fi, religious, history, and whatever catches my eye.
"A review for my governor"
Your highness Don Sancho Panza,
I wish to submit to you a review of the grand tale of Don Quixote of which you are the central figure. Of course your lordship knows that the book is named for your master but your wit, proverbs, and wise counsel make this story a joy to read. As the wise Miguel de Cervantes tells your history, he increases the enjoyment by really starting the second book of your adventures with extreme sarcasm and a bite of which the meanest of giants would be jealous. The constant reminder that the pseudo history written by an inferior author has no place in your noble adventures.
This audio version of your story is well casted by a great reader and impressionist for when he spoke I could not tell if I were listening or standing in your presence. Oh wise governor, may your story live in the hearts of your people and bring awe and fear to the hearts of those who dare besmudge the name of the great Don Sancho Panza.
Your humble servant,
"Masterpiece - in literature and narration!"
I've been listening to audiobooks for over 3 years now, over 35 books, 2 hours a day in my commute. Of all the books I've listened to, this is easily the best. It's the first that had me laughing so hard I was worried about the effect on my driving. George Guidall's unparalleled narration took me completely into the drama of the story, brought out the characters as if they were alive in another country - not some un-relatable figures from the 14th century.
I can't fully put in words how much I enjoyed this listen and I have to make this review short as I am at work.
Get it.
"Best book ever written?"
Hillarious, dynamic, thought provoking (I know that is 4 words but the last 2 go together!)
I have not but George Guidall's reading was wonderful. He did the voices marvelously and really brought out the characters' emotions.
I saw on a list published in 2000 that Don Quixote was the best book ever written. I was intrigued so I decided to check it out. I am not much for lists and what "academics" think is the best literature out there but several other books I loved were on this list so I figured it couldn't be all hokum, right! Well, Don Quixote did not disappoint. I admit, it was a little slow in starting and I was thinking, "the best book, really?" but as it went on I really found myself enjoying it and looking forward to getting back to listening and was actually pretty sad when it ended. The character development was wonderful and it was hillarious. I am not sure it is the best book I have ever read but it is certainly in my top 10 and worthy of reading again in the future.
"My Fourth Try at an Audible Quixote"
Well, I have to read this monster for a college class. Not that I don't want to read it for pleasure, but in this case it's especially important that the translator and narrator are as clear as possible. I have liked all of the beginnings of the unabridged versions available here, but I've kept spending credits hoping I'd get one that really knocked me out. This is the one. After a bit of cursory research, I found the Grossman translation highly recommended. And my own ears tell me that the Guidal narration is the best. This reading is four hours longer than most of the others, and it sounds so far like the extra time is well spent in helpful pauses. There is the added benefit for me that Grossman's translation is easily attainable in printed, annotated form so that I can dig up good notes for my paper after absorbing the audio a few times. I can't say I've listened to the whole of any of these, but if the first hour of four different versions can be trusted, I can easily call this one the best by far. Happy listening.
World Champion Parallel Parker
"Best Ever Written AND Read?"
I read, somewhere, this book called the "best ever written." The performance by Guidall is also of that caliber - his character voices, of Don Quixote, Sanco Panza and all the others, are so individual that you soon forget this is a book. You can forget you are at home, washing dishes, believing instead that you are on a dusty plain in the burning sun, thirsty, with empty saddlebags, listening to the story of an enchanted shepherd. The voices are SO good that sometimes the dramatic pauses, sighs and perils-of-pauline-type purple-prose start in one register and fall down the scale, "Oh-h (high) - oh - oh-h oh-h (low) h-oh," in D-sharp minor. This book can't be rushed.
At first I was slightly bored by it, thinking OK, it's a classic, it's got to be good, and if it isn't, at least I can say I read it. Then, gradually, the humor started showing through. Now I don't want it to be over (I'm not done yet), I want to enjoy every moment, and I may even listen to it again.
Moreover (literati), this book is about books from a time when books were television, movies, YouTube, twitter, vines and all social media combined. It's also a history, capturing not only what was going on in Spain in the 16th century but referencing what had been going on in Europe from the 13th to 15th - it could be read side-by-side with Barbara Tuchman's In a Distant Mirror (the two versions of Knight Errantry fit rather well). It's the ideology of heroism about the ideology of heroism, knights saving widows and orphans (Tuchman points out that the reality was more like knights raping, then killing, widows and orphans) and the funny thing is, that same ideology is here with us today in Hollywood movies and other heroic shows. That's the mark of a classic, that it's timeless, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Cervantes managed to poke fun of the 21st century from the distant mirror of the 16th.
"Sancho Panza!"
This is my favorite work of fiction. I love the story of Don Quixote. If you haven't listened to or read this book, it is a must.
This book is very long, but is broken up into smaller stories told by people who run into Don Quixote on his travels and by a series of ridiculous "adventures" of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza themselves. (You will never see a blanket the same way again, for example. And everyone knows about the windmills... err... giants).
I have recommended this book to a few friends and some of them have gotten an hour or so into and thought it was dumb. I don't agree. I think the beginning is very clever, but it doesn't make much sense if you aren't familiar with the story- if you read the book and then re-read the beginning it will seem much more clever. My advice is to suffer through the beginning if you don't enjoy it- the book makes more sense before too long.
I have been waiting for audible to get this version of the book in their library. I have now purchased this 3 times. Once on tape, once on CD and now, finally MP3.
Now for the headline explanation. To me, this book is more about Sancho Panza than Don Quixote. The way George Guidall performs Sancho is such a joy. I remember the first time I finished the book I was a little depressed thinking that my friend Sancho was gone. One word of caution, though- Mr. Guidall's performance of Sancho became so iconic to me over the course of this book that other books read by him become hard to listen to. Mr. Guidall uses the "Sancho" voice in other books and whatever character he uses it on becomes Sancho in my head. It is very hard to separate. Try to take a serial killer seriously when he sounds like Sancho Panza. You'll half expect him to be murdering people in an effort to get his insula. Despite that, I would rather have Sancho be Sancho than have a scary villain.
Do yourself a favor- put down whatever book of chivalry you are reading now and read this one instead.
"Funny and sweet masterpiece"
It is a pleasure to listen to this fantastic tale about human nature; Sancho and Don Quixote are all of us. Take your pick about the perspective you want to use while listening to this tale: is it an essay about the human condition, a philosophical treaty,a magnificent allegory or a funny, gentle dialog about human weakness ?
Christian, Texan, electrician, lover of reading-I lean towards Sci-fi/fantasy but enjoy the classics, history, and science titles also.
"Way more fun than anticipated!"
Classic, endearing, and (to my surprise) fun.
Sancho Panza was easily my favorite character. He was a very dutiful squire who actually believed in his knight even when he KNEW Don Quixote was an all out whack job.
Mr. Guidall brought both of these honorable long winded characters to life in a way that now that I have completed the book I find myself missing both Panza and Quixote.
The world is full of adventure! Well sort of.
This is one of those books that I picked up because I really wanted to HAVE read it however I quickly found myself truly enjoying it.
"Surprisingly Fun!"
Potential listeners should not be discouraged by the considerable length of the work. It turns out to be far more exciting that one could expect. The key is that the novel should not be considered at face value but as a parody of chivalric romances that apparently abounded in Cervantes' days. Thus, the reader discovers that a major theme of the work is the contrast, or rather the unfathomable gap, between literature and reality.
The work actually includes two separate books. The second written some time after the first was published includes many ironic comments on the latter. There are many funny moments throughout, as when Don Quixote meets for the first time another character claiming to be a knight errant ... who has defeated the famous Don Quixote. The description of the actual Dulcinea Del Toboso is also memorable.
It must be underscored that the excellent translation is very lively and includes a variety of styles and forms, apparently as in the original.
This work is consequently very highly recommended.
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
"Book of Shadows"
In one of the many introductions, the author mentions that he is not as well read or does not remember of what he has read in comparison to great works of fiction. He is advised to just mention other works and make things up. After the book is published, what can be done about it. This seems to be the advice Dean Koontz did in writing some of his books and quoting from The Book OF Shadows, a book that never existed.
As, one of the older classical works, this might be the most assessable to the modern common man. Unlike many of the other works, it is not full of poetic writing or long drawn out ways of saying one simple thing. If you are wanting to get your feet wet, I would suggest starting here.
The book is full of humor, only it gets silly and predictable. I would not want to listen to this all at once. I listened to nine and a half chapters, as it was too silly to continue for such a long time.
Guidall is one of my favorite narrators and he does not disappoint.

U.S. Taxpayers: GM's Accidental Majority ShareholderBy Michelle Krebs May 26, 2009
The U.S. government -- or rather U.S. taxpayers -- will hold a majority share in the new General Motors after it emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which it is expected to file at any moment.
The U.S. Treasury Department will receive about 70 percent of the new GM in exchange for $50 billion in financing for its restructuring, unnamed sources told The New York Times.
The United Auto Workers union will hold 17.5 percent of the new GM's stock through its retiree health care fund, less than half of what the UAW was supposed to get under previous plans.
Bondholders, who reportedly rejected GM's debt-to-equity offer, will receive about a 10 percent share. Others will receive a smaller amount, the sources told the New York paper.
GM has received $19.4 billion in financing from the Treasury Department and would receive another $50 billion or slightly more in debtor-in-possession financing, which it could draw upon during its court-supervised reorganization, the Times reported.
The $50 billion figure includes the $7.6 billion that GM told the Treasury last week it will need to operate after June 1.
That is the deadline for a restructuring plan that GM must submit to the Obama administration.

Simon Cowell Plans To Sign Emblem3 When The X Factor Is Over
Simon Cowell plans to sign Emblem3 to a contract when The X Factor is over, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is even if the band do not win the $5 million prize.
The band plan to reveal more original material after the competition. Cowell has told them to stick with mainstream songs for their performances on the show, even if the band have been compared to One Direction.
When asked if he would sign them to his label even if they don't win, Cowell said: "I think there's a pretty good chance. I'm not going to let anyone else get them. There'll be some pretty big announcements at the end of the show."
He didn't reveal any plans for his other group Fifth Harmony, but said he would continue to "back both of them".
Wesley Stromberg, Keatin Stromberg and Drew Chadwick responded to what Cowell said on Thursday after the tapingof the show. Wesley said: "That makes me feel very good. He's probably got his poker face on. He just wants us to focus on what's going on so he's probably not telling us that on purpose but this is awesome. That's super cool. We're probably gonna do better now actually, that's motivation."
Meanwhile, Chadwick revealed what their debut album will sound like. He said: "We want it to be like the last Sublime album that was ever released."
Wesley added: "The one with Bradley [Norwell]."
Then Keaton chimed in and said they "want it to be as real as possible."
When asked about what they would do next week, they joked that they would "sing songs " and do some "interpretive dance."

Two Canadian Muslim girls told a reporter for the Toronto Star why one will wear the hijab and why the other prefers not to. Asmaa Abou Zeidan, age sixteen, is very careful about her dress and will not wear clothes that her mother believes are inappropriate for a Muslim. "She thinks everything I own is too tight. That is not the way a Muslim girl is supposed to dress. You're supposed to be modest," she says. Her parents, however, accord her considerable freedom and she is allowed to associate with anyone she desires. She has decided to wear the hijab of her own accord. "I like the way people treated m e when I wore it. I get more respect." However, sometimes at night she goes down to the swimming pool in her apartment building, and when no one is around, plunges into the water and enjoys the feeling as water soaks into her bare head.
Zahraa El-Zalbak hangs around with a diverse group of girls at school, and often is asked why she does not wear the hijab. She doesn't believe wearing or not wearing the hijab is a reflection of being or not being religious. She doesn't believe a scarf has anything to do with one's spirituality. "It's not that I won't wear one. I'm just not ready for it yet. I will wear it one day. Just not right now. For me, I want to be spiritually ready to do it and not regret it later.
These are two girls facing the same issues any immigrant group encounters living in a new land. Which values or traditions or customs are to be retained, which to be discarded, and at which point in life does one make or not make changes? These are common concerns for the traveler found in a new land.

We are trying to close on the purchase of our new home on Friday (two days from now), and are being held up by the lenders request to the IRS for transcripts of our previous years returns, which is all well and good (I suppose) ... but it's now been 5 business days since the request was initiated, and our lending agent can't get an answer as to where the lender (not his agency) is with the 4506-T process.
This closing is time-critical, as we will be closing on the sale of our current residence Friday morning, and the moving truck is arriving on Saturday.
Is it possible to still close, even if it's late on Friday, in light of the delay on the lender's part regarding the processing of this 4506-T request?
We had supplied the lender with copies of the previous three (3) years returns during the application process, and there has been no attempt to defraud on our part ... all of our income is varifiable, there are no "unusual" aspects of any of our returns, etc.
We thought that, with this being an electronic process, we would have had an answer by now ... and we're getting extremely anxious as to what we're going to do come Saturday. The closing on the sale of our house cannot be delayed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

re: 4605-T QUESTION
Not sure what you mean by "lending agent" -- mortgage broker?? I sure hope you aren't referring to your realtor. Is there a reason you aren't communicating directly with the lender at this point?
"Is it possible to still close, even if it's late on Friday...."
You're asking us?? Seems to me that you'd need to ask the buyers and the title/settlement company folks.
I'd be concerned that you're so close to closing and your lender is still doing due diligence on *you* vs., say, on the title issues related to the property.
"... and we're getting extremely anxious as to what we're going to do come Saturday."
Personally, I'd have my stuff stay on the truck(s) and stay in a hotel/extended stay place.
While the closing on your current home can't be delayed, you don't say whether you've talked with the buyers about renting back on a daily basis.

re: 4605-T QUESTION
Laymans take:
My read is that there are a couple of services that electronically process 406-Ts in 24/48 hours for a fee of course and that such is common place.
(Lots of lenders like to confirm tax returns of late--so that part is not odd)
The more pressing questions are who has the duty to get it processed timely and who has the problems if it doesn't get done.
My guess is the fine print of your lending agreement, says no matter who drops the ball, if the lender isn't happy and lender pulls the plug then the lender is not to blame. Now whether your purchase agreement locks in the same fine print is problematic--if there is a finance clause its likley in there somehow--but if its not and you show up at closiny w/o good funds are you in default of the deal and can seller walk and keep your deposit?
EG is your deal a on or before date and this is last date--you better know how to get an extension.
Its not clear if lender is merely a bit messed up or if lender is into playing games so as to "force" you to eat a higher rate.
Right now I'd not be taking anybodys word for gospel and I'd not assume closing will take place Friday and I'd NOT assume anybody is really there to watch out for my interests.
As a layman you may not know what your fine print says and what are the legal limits vs the practical limits of options you may have at the 11th hour--so before you walk into closing w/o funds or pull the plug or sign any changes you might be wise to have solid legal counsel on your side--even if its 11.59.

re: 4605-T QUESTION
We are purchasing a condo unit from the developer of a gated community near us ... there will be daily penalty incurred if we are not able to close on the 18th.
Only if we pull out of the purchase all together will we lose our $5,000.00 dollar deposit.
Our "agent" is the Mortgage Broker, and has been beating his brains out trying to get this resolved in as timely a manner as he can, but the lender and the underwriter are not being very forthcoming with information at the present time.
They have been made aware of the severity of our situation, the penalties if we don't close on Friday, and the time-sensitive nature of our situation, but nothing seems to motivate them to "get things moving".
It was suggested by our contact that, since we're renting a truck and doing the move ourselves, we could negotiate with the truck rental company to extend the rental period beyond just one day (Saturday), and perhaps find a hotel to stay at for a few days.
But the frustration that we are feeling over the total ambivalence of the folks at the lending end of the process is beyond words.

re: 4605-T QUESTION
Not necessarily hopeless---many a financing contingency clause is subordinated to the lenders fine print when you get you mortgage committment and send same to seller that you have financing in place. If the lender (NOT you!) pulls the plug it may trigger that you can walk w/o losing your deposit . This is a quite common issue of the fine print in my area and it may apply in your area---but nobody is going to tell you about same unless its to thier benefit to do so.
If you are in an area of FL where values have taken a bath your seller may be most anxious to bend a bit or even twist some arms on your behalf for you NOT to trigger a walkaway due to lender pullout clause---but I think you need a firm understanding of if/how that works under your set of fine print --the lending agent may or may not be in a position to help sort same out--afterall he stands to lose his commission if the lender balks and you walk--but I'd NOT rely upon hte lending agent for the final legal work--odds are everyone will gang up on you and tell you what you must do--under penality of YYY and XXX---and if you lack a iron nerve you may need to rent one in form of good local counsel not conflicted out by other deals with said developper or lenders etc.
You may lose 99.9% of your leverage to fix things if you close unless you know how to legally preserve the issues still you want held open (Its called the doctrine of merger) --and even if preserved you may lose 80% of your leverage. .

re: 4605-T QUESTION
We live in the Lee County area ... Cape Coral.
We were able to get the Developer to come down on their asking price by $13,000.00 dollars when we agreed to the purchase.
We have approached the contact we have with the Developer about the possibility of at least letting us place our things in the garage of the unit, but not occupy the unit until closing ... and were declined.
Due to family constraints, this is the only weekend we will have some of our family members for help with the move.
We are hoping that, once the loan has been "cleared for closing" by the lender, things can be expedited rapidly.
We will see.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that the 4605-T processing was electronic.
What I read on the IRS website is that (even if you fax the request) the transcripts get mailed and takes 10 days to 2 weeks.

I was just about to say the same thing. The IRS says "most" requests are processed within 10 days, but you still have to allow time for the mail to reach you or the lender. I'd say you have @3 weeks from the time the request was made.

Have any of those sources been at the IRS.
If not, I suggest you call up the IRS and ask.
I was able to get an EIN online at the IRS website in a matter of minutes so I'm no stranger to figuring out how to do that if it's available.
That's what a looked for on the IRS website after reading your post and couldn't find anything that would allow the transcripts electonically.
Yes, you can download and print out the form, but you still have to fax it or mail it.

re: 4605-T QUESTION
Apparently, as I'm being told, there are now services out there that lenders use that have access electronically to the main IRS Data Centers, and are able to get the required information in 1-2 business days ... at least that's what these services are advertising.
If it's bogus, then I'm going to be very angryn at a number of people, who have made representations to me that this is "no big deal" and "you'll be able to close on time". If this is not the case, then someone in the process should be liable for the penalty we will incur from the Developer for not being able to close on Friday (tomorrow), the food that will go bad because we have no place to put anything, the cost of renting a storage room large enough to store basically our entire house full of stuff, etc.
Now I'm getting mad ...

Nobody outside IRS has electronic access to the transcripts
"Apparently, as I'm being told, there are now services out there that lenders use that have access electronically to the main IRS Data Centers, and are able to get the required information in 1-2 business days ... at least that's what these services are advertising."
I am a tax attorney. That's not correct. No private firm has access to the IRS computers that store account information. As a result, there is no private service out there that can go into the IRS computer and get this information for the lender (or for you).
The transcripts for the last 3-5 years of tax returns are generally available on the IRS computer system and can be printed out by IRS employees with proper access to that system in a matter of a few minutes. However, when you mail a Form 4506-T to a service center for this information, it gets worked in the order received and there are a variety of requests that the IRS handles, not just transcript requests. As a result, it can take up to 2-3 weeks to get it, particularly around filing season, which just ended on Tuesday.
The transcripts can be obtained faster by going to a local IRS office and waiting for an IRS taxpayer rep to pull the information. There are probably services that lenders can use that will send someone to an IRS office to get that information if the lender does not want to do it itself. I suspect that is what these services that are advertising are doing. Once again, NOBODY outside the IRS had direct access to the IRS computer system containing account information and thus no service can simply get IRS transcript information via their own computer.

"The transcripts can be obtained faster by going to a local IRS office and waiting for an IRS taxpayer rep to pull the information."
Then I suggest that you, the borrower, pay a visit to your local IRS office and get your transcripts on the spot and turn them over to you lender's rep. (Keeping copies for yourself, of course.)

re: Nobody outside IRS has electronic access to the transcripts
This is the response that our mortgage broker got from the lender this morning ...
All I can tell you is that over the years we processed the 4506 by faxing it and we received a return fax from them. Maybe it is a special site we lenders use. Sometimes it took 24 hours and some time it took 72 hrs. The only thing that is new is now we are ordering them on a more regular basis. So will the IRS be overloaded with requests and will the turn time change? This I cannot answer.

I sent electronic copies of our W2's (Adobe pdf and image (tif) files) for the previous three (3) years ('04, '05 & '06) to our mortgage broker this morning ... he sent them on up the food chain to the necessary people. Maybe this will re-start the process.

Vizio Announces Holiday PC Lineup

Vizio holiday PC line
(Source: Vizio)
Machines will use 3rd generation Core processors
Vizio is a company most of us probably associate with HDTVs. However, the company recently got into the computer business with a
full line of all-in-one and ultrabook PCs
. Now, Vizio is revealing its new lineup for the holiday shopping season. Vizio's line of computers includes new 24-inch and 27-inch all-in-one computers and more.
Both of the all-in-one machines are specifically designed to run Windows 8 and feature touchscreen displays. Both are equipped with full HD resolution multi-touch displays that support 10-finger capacitive multi-touch. Vizio is mum on exactly what hardware specifications the machines will carry.
We do know, however, that the all-in-one machines will start at a price of $998 and feature third-generation Intel Core processors. At that starting price, we would expect a modestly spec'd machine likely using a Core i3 or i5 and 4 GB of RAM.
"The new All-in-One Touch PCs with Windows 8 are extremely user friendly, bringing both entertainment and power to the user's fingertips," said Matt McRae, VIZIO Chief Technology Officer. "We focused on delivering an enhanced touchscreen and touchpad experience so users can utilize multi-gesture touch options however they're most comfortable. Not only can customers tap, swipe or pinch directly on the All-in-One's screen, but they can also utilize the same gestures on the integrated touchpads of the Thin + Light and Notebook PCs."
Vizio also has two ultrabooks and a notebook computer in its line. The ultrabooks have either a 14-inch or 15.6-inch screen and the notebook uses a 15.6-inch screen. Both of the ultrabooks and the notebook have gesture-supporting touchpads designed to make navigating Windows 8 easy. The computers have SRS Premium Sound HD audio systems and some models of machines feature NVIDIA
-class GeForce graphics processors.
The 15.6-inch notebook will start at $1129 while the ultrabooks start at $849.
"We are excited to be working with VIZIO as it brings Windows 8 to its line-up of holiday PCs," said John Case, vice president, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft. "It's impressive to see VIZIO bringing its expertise in consumer entertainment devices to PCs with HD quality display and premium audio that will provide a rich experience for customers."

Trading the Forex market without a good equity management plan and without the help of a Forex trading system will lead your way to disaster. Market fluctuation can occur at any time in the Forex market. So a forex trader has to pay a lot of attention on the market.
Even a slight change in the fluctuation can turn the market upside down. Profit and losses can be predicted only in this way. Forex trading signals predict certain trends in the Forex prices. Hence each and every trading signal has to be considered every time.
The Forex signals refer to the foreign currency purchase activity at some specific rates and then again selling those foreign currencies to others at other rates. Hence when the selling rates is bigger than the purchasing rate, the Forex trader tends to earn some profit.
It is often handy setting up a system for generating the automatic Forex trading signals if there is a Forex trading plan in place. This implies that you can have unbiased information of the Forex market which is independent of what you read in the newspaper, in the online forums or in the television news.
But these news sources are sometimes sensationalized and sometimes they are conflicting. But the decision is up to you when you make use of the automatic forex trading signals. Automatic forex signal generators help you to spot the trading opportunities without having your emotions getting in the way. Forex trading is purely mechanical and if you can put your emotions aside, you stand a greater chance of profiting from forex.
You can trade the signals mechanically or even you can utilize them to conduct a research much before you can carry the actual trade.
To configure the automatic trading signal for yourself, you will need to have a live data or carting package with alerts that are configurable. There is another way out.
You can subscribe to a forex trading service online for setting up the alerts as well as receive them live.

Hanging Up a Hallmark of the Trade, Doctors Swap Pagers for Smart Phones
It used to be that the only people who still used pagers were doctors and drug dealers. But any fan of Law & Order knows that drug dealers moved on to disposable cell phones long ago.
Dr. Sunny Shah, a first year internal medicine resident, said he often gets strange looks from his neighbors in the elevator when he flashes his pager.
"They know immediately that I'm probably a doctor or in the medical field because we're the only people who still use pagers," Shah said.
Years after most people switched from pagers to cell phones, doctors kept beepers at their sides because of poor cell reception in hospitals and fears that the devices would interfere with sensitive medical equipment. But those issues have now been resolved, according to Dr. Dan Shine, who leads the internal medicine service at NYU Langone Medical Center.
The hospital is currently piloting a new smart phone program, hoping to eventually pull the plug on pagers for good. It issued a dozen iPhones to medical staff in its Emergency Department late last month after successfully incorporating 40 iPhones into Shine's internal medicine team eight months ago.
The use of smart phones allows messages to be sent and received en masse, as opposed to individual pages. This helps streamline communication and avoid bottlenecks; when medical staff receive a page, they flood to nurses' stations and line up to use the phone, which means they are constantly leaving patients to return calls.
"You need to communicate with the resident; with the attending, with the senior doctor," Shine said. "You need to communicate with the bed board that's handing out the bed; with the emergency department, where the patient currently is."
The smart phone is equipped with applications that allow doctors to decide how they want to be contacted about their patients and when. They also have access to the hospitals entire medical library.
But for now, the phones are in short supply. And doctors still have to carry pagers to communicate with nurses, who do not yet have smart phones.
"I'd say probably every hospital in this country still uses pagers, or a very high percent, 90-plus percent," said Brian Edds, a mobile product manager at Amcom Software, which makes communication programs for hospitals – both for pagers and smart phones.
He's one of the few people who still conduct research on the pager industry. Most market research firms stopped tracking them in the early 2000s.
But Edds adds that 70 percent of 300 hospitals he surveyed reported having experimented with using smart phones for critical communications.
"Smart phones are definitely the future," he said. "They can be used for so many things than just messaging."
Still, pagers do have their own benefits – they're inexpensive, reliable, and durable -- and smart phones present their own challenges.
Patient privacy and cost, in particular, are significant hurdles for many hospitals. Between equipment, data plans, and developing applications, NYU Langone spent $10,000 to $20,000 to pilot 16 phones.
As a result, Edds expects the pager will co-exist with smart phones in hospitals for the next decade.
The pager is dead, long live the pager.

The Red Cat
by Okensha
- The silver chain around my ankle --
- ankle so delicate held so high --
- shimmers in the candlelight, and
- softly dances the rhythm of our love.
- excerpt from a poem by Languorous Scorpion
- "Come in, come in! I recognise that uniform! You're with The Forsaken's Bastards, aren't you? We always give fighting women a special rate! You, Tempetay, fetch this fine woman some wine!"
- - Mitake, owner of the Red Cat, greeting a guest
From the outside, The Red Cat still looks like the residence it was not long ago, with a few minor exceptions. The first is the new frieze over the door, carved of red teak. The subject is five cats, the middle one sitting with a mischievous air as the other four stretch and pounce. A wide balcony opens from the third floor where the ladies often lounge, singing and joking with one another. Occasionally, Languorous Scorpion makes one of her odd pronouncements to the street below here.
Mitake – the retired mercenary who owns and runs The Red Cat – had the inside much more drastically renovated. The main floor is one large room, where refreshments are served and the ladies skillfully play music and dance complex and sensual performance pieces for the guests. The second floor is essentially a ring of balcony that overlooks this room. (Many is the performance accented by laughter and running feet overhead.) The floors above this are mazelike, filled with snakelike corridors, rooms with multiple entrances, mirrors, and gauzy fabric in shades of red hanging across hallways, down walls, and over beds. (Privacy is an expensive commodity in The Red Cat, but few of the women who visit seem to mind.) Mitake has also acquired many works of art glorifying the female form and the act of female love. Most of these tend towards the blatant, but holding a place of prominence in the first floor is the sublime sculpture, 'Lady of Dancing Tiger Reeds'.
As brothels go, The Red Cat is not so very strange; games and harmless pranks abound, and occasional dancing processions into the back yard to … bathe ... in the pool may have driven away the non-brothel neighbours, but these antics are hardly unusual in such a house. No, the main attraction of The Red Cat for many visitors is Languorous Scorpion. A graceful woman trained extensively in the arts of love, she usually wears her thick charcoal-black hair up in a charmingly haphazard knot, and dresses in layered translucent robes which, shifting, show off the stylized tattoos of scorpions on her back and arms and legs and belly. She claims that a scorpion sting opened her mind to The Truth, which is apparently the reason for her oddness and strange brilliance. She's Mitake's favourite and the most expensive lady to be had at The Red Cat, in part due to her prodigious training in the sensual arts. Mostly, however, it is simply her surreal company, as she wanders the halls or lies taking opium and philosophizing, that commands such prices in comparison to the other women.
- Mitake has a business partner who occasionally visits The Red Cat. This individual is referred to only as "Kitty" and appears as a tall lady in tasteful clothes, with a beautiful face, graceful way of moving, and long braid of silky black hair strung with ornaments. None of the girls have ever served this lady more than a few drinks, and she always mysteriously retires alone to one of three rooms otherwise kept locked. Gossip is circulating amongst the ladies of The Red Cat that "Kitty" is in fact a very pretty man who visits to watch the goings on in the brothel though hidden peepholes or the like.
- Women who visit The Red Cat and end up in the arms of other guests are charged anyway, and some suspect that Mitake has ordered her staff to maneuver certain ladies into this situation ….
Languorous Scorpion was once an Immaculate monk on a missionary expedition in the Threshold. Separated from her traveling companions, she was stung by a scorpion whose venom erased much of her memory. She has no knowledge of her previous life, nor does she care; but she retains much of her training in writing, poetry, athletics, etc.
I'm always glad to see someone pick up one of the links I created.
- So am I. I was happy when I saw you pick up The Avenue of Enigmatic Philosophy so fast, and then I had a flood of ideas for the Red Cat. It almost feels like cheating, fleshing out a link off of a link from something I did. o.o I just hope I don't get irrevocably associated with brothels! -Okensha
- Well, seeing a street called the avenue of enigmatic philosophy assocated with a gay brothel was too good to pass up. I like what you have done with the Red Cat. I personally don't think it is cheating to create a link off something that someone created off of somthing you did. I might even try to come up with somthing for that sculpture you mentioned. As for that last sentiment, you and me both.

I've fixed a few typos and restored a phrase... I feel that "the act of female-on-female love" is somewhat redundant - I think "the act of female love" gets the point across, as it indicates that there are no males involved. Also, I think "female-on-female" is too crass for referring to works of art (even if the art is crass). I decline to use "lesbian" or "sapphic" partially because they have, in my experience, a lot of cultural baggage attached, and partially because Sappho of Lesbos has not yet lived in the Age of Sorrows, and it seems jarring to me somehow. My final argument for keeping the text as "the act of female love" is that it was good enough for the title of The Great Mirror of Male Love, an interesting anthology of Japanese love stories. (The first half deals with samurai, the second half with kabuki actors, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in that aspect of Japanese history and culture.) -Okensha
- That was me, as you probably figured out. I have to say that as a straight woman it sort of bugs me that "female love" would automatically be considered lesbian love, but hey, whatever, I understand your reasoning, and it's clear enough from context, and it's your entry. Rest of my editing okay?
~ Shataina
- I agree that "female love" can mean a variety of things (or is sometimes not clear in its intended meaning), but I was hoping the context would make what I meant clear. Yes, everything else is fine. :) -Okensha
- I've uncovered a better word! Not Lesbian, no, but rather, REZBIAN! Yes, rezbian. What do you think? Should I change "female love" to "rezbian love"? -Okensha will not razz the rezbians

Sump pump jerks when it turns on
First time homeowner.
We just moved into our house this weekend and I've never lived in a house with a sump pump before. After a large rainfall the sump pump ran overnight and into the morning. I didn't know until I spoke with some co-workers that this was a problem. The issue was caused by the rod that connects the balloon to the "on" lever got stuck in the wood planks surrounding the pump. As soon as I touched the top of the pump the rod dislodged and dropped and the pump shut right off.
The rod getting stuck is the symptom, the cause is the pump jerks counter-clockwise when it turns on causing the rod to get stuck in the wood. There are two wooden planks surrounding the pump that help support it and keep it upright. The wood is marred from the rod chipping away at the wood over the years and that is where the rod gets stuck. The base of the pump is not secured in any way and it rests on top of two circular discs, one on top of the other, about an inch thick. Neither of these discs are secured either. Both the pump and the discs shift slightly when the pump turns on along with the pump spinning. The movement of the pump i assume is why the wooden planks are there.
Should a sump pump move when it turns on? Shouldn't it be secured in some manner so it does not? I have never had to do any kind of home repair before so please forgive the elementary wording. However, I want to learn and am eager to do so. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sounds like you have a pedestal pump (motor on top out of the water)
Secure that with two horse shoe type clamps attached to a wood brace--
Clamps are available in the plumbing section of any store---You will need to be a little inventive with the brace.
Post a picture of the current set up and someone will offer a good solution.--Mike--
Pipe clamp to angle brace to t brace to cinderblock. Works like a charm. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks---nice to know the outcome.

Meric Bulls Finish Season With 27-3 Loss to Pitt December 01, 2012 By USF Related Links Box Score Season Stats Skip Holtz Postgame Interview Chris Cosh Postgame Interview Todd Fitch Postgame Interview Sam Barrington Postgame Interview Matt Floyd Postgame Interview Demetris Murray Postgame Interview Opponent Quotes Sign Up For Free Email Updates Team 1 2 3 4 Final USF 0 0 0 3 3 Pittsburgh 7 10 14 0 27 By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA – USF was determined to send its seniors off with a win, but the Pittsburgh defense had other plans Saturday night in the Bulls' season finale. The Bulls' defense held up well despite the offense turning the ball over four times in a 27-3 loss before an announced crowd of 35,141 at Raymond James Stadium. USF (3-9) managed 117 yards of total offense and was forced to take to the air often while the Bulls came up with 8 rushing yards. "It made for a very long night when you go against the No. 2 pass defense in the league, as good as they are, and you can't run the ball. It's going to be a long day," USF head coach Skip Holtz said. Senior Sam Barrington promised before the game that he would leave everything he had on the field and his stat line showed that the linebacker came to play. Barrington posted a career-high two sacks and seven tackles, and he finished his USF career eighth all-time in tackles with 258. "I would have taken no tackles and a win any day," Barrington said. The Bulls as a whole ended up with four sacks and got one from senior Kayvon Webster. The senior finished with the team lead in tackles (82) after registering seven stops and a forcing fumble against the Panthers. "I thought our defense really played well, but I don't think our offense did," Holtz said. Pittsburgh grabbed a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter after making a heads-up play on defense deep in Bulls territory. Jason Hendricks intercepted a pass off the hands of Andre Davis to set the Panthers up at the USF 21 and Ray Graham rushed for a 1-yard touchdown eight plays later. Specials teams gave USF a needed lift on the ensuing kickoff when Marcus Shaw posted 48-yard return, but the Bulls failed to cash in on the opportunity. USF drove up to the Pitt 6 when linebacker Todd Thomas stepped in front of a Matt Floyd pass and got the Panthers close to midfield with a 33-yard return. Pitt did not capitalize on the turnover, however, thanks in part to a strip sack by Webster on third down that resulted in a 29-yard loss once the Panthers fell on the fumble. The Pitt defense got its third turnover late in the first quarter when Shayne Hale sacked Floyd and recovered the fumble at the Bulls' 24-yard line. USF held the Panthers to a 25-yard field goal by Kevin Harper less than 2 minutes into the second quarter. Pitt had one more shot inside the USF 10 in the closing seconds of the half and had to settle for a 27-yard field goal after an impressive stand by the USF defense. Graham was stuffed on a second-and-goal from the 3 and Barrington got the Panthers moving in the opposite direction by sacking Tino Sunseri for an 8-yard loss. Barrington had two sacks and five tackles at the half after helping the Bulls limit Pitt to 137 yards of total offense. Pitt (6-6) padded its lead to 20-0 with 8:42 left in the third quarter after Graham added another 1-yard scoring run and got over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Ronald Jones set the Panthers up on the USF 31 to start the drive after returning a punt for 39 yards. K'Waun Williams came down with Floyd's third interception at the 50 about a minute after Graham's score and Pitt went ahead, 27-0, with a 2-yard touchdown reception by J.P. Holtz with 3:46 remaining in the quarter. Floyd finished 12-for-25 for 93 yards. "We just couldn't get anything going from an offensive standpoint. It made for a long night," Holtz said. Senior Maikon Bonani added to his already impressive college resume by making a 25-yard field goal to get the Bulls on the scoreboard with 9:41 remaining in the game. Other seniors honored Saturday night were B.J. Daniels, Lindsey Lamar, Demetris Murray, Cory Grissom, Mike Lanaris, Evan Landi, George Baker, Chris Breit, David Aristil, Justin Brockhaus-Kann, Damien Edwards, Danous Estenor, Spencer Cavalieri, Jeff Hawkins, Kalin Hall, Colton Hudson, Mike Jeune, Jon Lejiste, Victor Marc, Mark Popek, Andreas Shields and Ernie Tabuteau. "You certainly would like for them to go out with a win under their belts," Holtz said.

Editorial: Uncle Sam play venture capitalist? See Solyndra
In March 2010, the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers issued a standard but stern warning about Solyndra, a California solar panel manufacturer: The company wasn't making money and never had, which raised "substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern." Yet when President Obama visited Solyndra's plant in Fremont two months later, he gave a rousing pep talk and declared that "the future is here."
OPPOSING VIEW: 'Perfect storm' sank Solyndra
Alas, it wasn't.
Solyndra continued to struggle, canceled a planned public stock offering and filed for bankruptcy this month — leaving the U.S. government as its biggest creditor and raising new questions about whether Uncle Sam should be playing venture capitalist.
Despite initial misgivings about the company's viability, an Energy Department program aimed at boosting "clean energy" projects had guaranteed a $535 million loan to Solyndra, which produced an innovative but expensive solar panel. Taxpayers are now on the hook for some or most of that money, depending on whether someone buys the assets.
Whether Solyndra is just an expensive embarrassment, or a full-fledged scandal, remains to be seen. Shortly after the bankruptcy filing, the FBI raided Solyndra's headquarters and the homes of its executives in connection with the loan. And today, a House oversight panel holds a hearing to probe how the company — whose board and investors included some major campaign donors to Democrats and Obama — got the money, and whether the administration properly vetted the application.
Even if Solyndra's collapse is nothing more than good intentions gone awry — a big if — it is a cautionary tale about why government should be extremely wary about betting tax dollars on specific companies. If there's one thing the marketplace virtually always does better than government, it's picking individual successes in an uncertain and highly competitive business. In fact, government involvement can unfairly tilt the playing field toward one company and away from competitors.
About Editorials/Debate
Opinions expressed in USA TODAY's editorials are decided by its Editorial Board, a demographically and ideologically diverse group that is separate from USA TODAY's news staff.
Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board's point of view.
What the government can do is create an environment that makes it possible for the best companies to emerge and thrive. Government can fund basic research that is too expensive and too uncertain for struggling companies. It alone can set clear rules, provide a productive tax environment and fiercely defend American companies from unfair foreign competition. One reason for Solyndra's demise was a huge drop in solar panel prices that might have been caused by China's heavily subsidized solar panel manufacturers dumping below-cost panels on the world market.
You can bet you'll hear a lot more about Solyndra as the campaign season intensifies, and rightly so. This is a stain on Obama's stimulus program. At the same time, context is important. The Obama administration inherited the Solyndra application from the Bush Energy Department, and Solyndra is one of 42 projects in the Energy Department's $30 billion portfolio of clean energy loan guarantees. The department says none of those other projects is in trouble; we'll see.
Moving the nation away from its reliance on oil and coal would unquestionably have huge benefits for the environment and for national security. The most efficient way to attain that goal — raising the price of fossil fuels to reflect their real cost via a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade plan — isn't going anywhere in the current political environment. That leaves a variety of next-best options worth pursuing, but trying to pick winners among individual start-up companies ought to be at the bottom of the list.

Premier League players condemn illegal wildlife trade
By Stephen Wood
LONDON (Reuters) - Leading Premier League players, including Manchester City's Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany, on Wednesday added their voices to a campaign to end the illegal trade in wildlife.
"The world must unite... to not buy ivory," , City's Ivory Coast midfielder Toure and Victor Wanyama, the Kenya-born Southampton midfielder, said in a video message released by the English Premier League.
The campaign, run partly by World Wildlife Fund UK and the Born Free Foundation, is aiming to highlight the plight of elephants and rhinos in Africa.
In the 30-second video, Wanyama and Toure were joined by Toure's brother, Liverpool defender Kolo, and City captain Kompany, who is of Congolese descent, in condemning the killing of endangered species.
The message was timed to coincide with a meeting on the illegal wildlife trade being held this week by the UK government.
The meeting, to which 50 heads of state have been invited, will discuss, among other issues, how to arrest the decline in the numbers of the wild African elephant, the Premier League statement said.
"When Premier League players speak out, the world listens," said Will Travers, president of the Born Free Foundation.
"Africa's elephants and rhinos were born free and they have the right to live free from the threat of poaching and the ivory trade." Continued...

Minor league baseball teams that have played at the Carolina Mudcats stadium may be wondering whether there's video out there of them showering.
That's a reasonable suspicion after a man was arrested for allegedly doing exactly that this week at Five County Stadium, near Raleigh.
LaDarryl Strong, 32, was charged Wednesday with felony secret peeping, first-degree trespass, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He has been released on bond.
Strong was apprehended Tuesday night after a stadium employee said he noticed Strong, posing as a janitor, filming members of the Wilmington (Del.) Blue Rocks in the shower area of the visitors locker room.
"Our staff reacted quickly and called the Zebulon police," Mudcats GM Joe Kramer told WRAL.
The TV station says police arrested Strong after he fled to a parking lot, and was found to have eight videos, a small camera and a bag of marijuana.
Authorities also seized 20 computers and other video devices during a search of Strong's home, and plan to search that equipment for evidence of other crimes.
Strong is due in court May 2. The Mudcats are an affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.
And in an attempt to end this item on an upbeat note, here's a YouTube of the shower scene from Bull Durham.

I am about to buy a Target 22. Some of the decent ones seem to be the Beretta Neos, S&W 22A, Browning Buckmark and Ruger Mark III. Also, Sig makes the mosquito and Walther sells the P22.
I have looked at all of them and decided I wil buy a Ruger Mark III 22/45 (it has a traditional grip instead of the space gun grip of the plain Ruger Mark III's). The Sig and Walther are fun for plinking, but supposedly not as accurate as the target 22s. Most of the target 22s have all black sights. I don't like that. I want white dot sites. Ruger makes one model of the 22/45 w/ a 4" barrel and fixed white dot sights. The Rugers are a pain to disassemble compared to other brands. But, its what I've settled on. There is one at my local shop for $221. I hope to have it in a couple of months.

It's been brought to our attention that we may have been mistaken in our reporting of Martin Tomczyk landing over at BMW. The news was brought to our attention outside of Audi and when the Audi press release confirming Tomczyk's departure was announced we assumed it was confirmed. As of this writing, Martin's move to BMW has NOT
That it's now even more confirmed isn't much of a surprise given many of the major car magazines were able to test drive a prototype of the upcoming Q3 2.5 TFSI at the Q3 launch in Europe earlier this year. Still, proof is always nice and that's been reported by ETKA via audiblogpl.blogspot.com.
As likely with most of our race fan reader base, we were surprised this morning to learn that 2011 DTM Champion Martin Tomczyk will be exiting his Audi A4 racecar for a new BMW next season , and hot off of the acquisition of his 2011 DTM Championship title. Martin will be missed, though perhaps it's not a surprise he's leaving.

Of course the A7 wasn't the only star of the event, a scale paper crafted A7 was also there in addition to this particular red 100 Coupe S.
Of course the Bertone-designed

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

We're not almost there, and that is fine by me.
Ellie makes even the long road trips more fun.
What a good little traveler, Kelsey & Levi!

So relaxed! What a beautiful Sheltie!
So cute she looks very comfy!!My Piper also gets carsick
Ellie is very cute. Little Kelly still gets so carsick, so our travelling is not too often…Even taking her for short little trips up the hill or down the street to the park to the grocery store to get treats doesn,t seem to help…any suggestions? LOL
Check with vet. When daughter lived in Maryland and came to NJ, they gave their Sheltie something and it helped a lot. Don't try without consulting but I think it was Dramamine.
Ellie is gorgeous! Shelties are so sweet and cuddly, especially on a road trip. Love to Ellie.
That is so precious. What a "cupcake" Ellie is! Lovely head profile too!
Ellie's a beauty! This happens on our family road trips too. We call Shadow "our heated arm rest." What would we do without our beautiful, furry pals?
Beautiful and snuggly!
The elusive Cuddle Muffin Sheltie. Sooo cute!
