(Reuters) - The flavor of the second quarter for big U.S. money managers was banks, including Citigroup Inc (C.N) and Genworth Financial Inc (GNW.N), and healthcare stocks such as Aetna Inc (AET.N), Cigna Corp (CI.N) and HCA Holdings Inc (HCA.N).
Hedge funds Eton Park Capital, Kynikos Associates LP and BlueMountain Capital Management were among investors that scooped up the shares of financials, which as a group are up 15 percent this year.
Energy companies were also in the spotlight. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) initiated a new position in oil refiner Phillips 66 (PSX.N), accumulating 28.4 million shares, potentially enough to make Berkshire the largest shareholder in the ConocoPhillips (COP.N) spin-off.
Activist hedge fund Jana Partners LLC soured on energy stocks as the firm dumped shares of Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC.N) and Hess Corp (HES.N), while Eton Park's Eric Mindich revealed he has an option to buy 4.5 million shares of natural gas producer Chesapeake Energy Corp (CHK.N) at an undisclosed price.
Daniel Loeb's Third Point hedge fund also revealed it owned a note that could convert into Chesapeake's shares, but the amount remained unclear. Reuters had reported that the $8.7 billion hedge fund, which listed Chesapeake as one of its largest positions in the second quarter, had established a bullish position in the company's bonds.
It is that time of the year again when hedge funds and other big money managers disclose their U.S. stock holdings at the end of the most recent quarter in so-called 13-F filings.
The filings offer a chance for ordinary investors to see what closely watched money managers such as Bill Ackman, Warren Buffett and David Einhorn are doing with their investors' money.
The second quarter was difficult for stocks and hedge funds. The benchmark S&P 500 fell 3.3 percent in the period, while funds on average lost 2.7 percent in the quarter.
The filings from hedge funds, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission throughout the day on Tuesday, will no doubt reveal some of that tumult in the stock market.
For more on how big money managers traded in the sector quarter, here is a breakdown by sectors and high-profile stocks:
Eton Park's Mindich said he owned 5.1 million shares of Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and had the right to acquire another 21.5 million shares at an undisclosed price. At the end of the first quarter, he owned 15 million shares.
Mindich also made changes in his Citigroup holding in which he owned 5.5 million shares at the end of the first quarter and said he had the right to acquire 12.7 million shares at an undisclosed price at the end of second quarter. At the end of the second quarter, he still held warrants to acquire 102.4 million shares, the same number he held at the end of the first quarter.
BlueMountain Capital initiated a new position in Citi, roughly 623,000 shares, and increased its stake in Flagstar Bancorp by 250,000 shares. It owned 233,505 shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) at the end of the second quarter, up from 80,910 shares.
Noted short seller Jim Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates Ltd, also added 231,800 shares of JPMorgan, bringing his stake to 323,400 shares, while adding 279,000 shares of Citigroup.
And Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway added yet again to its sizeable position in Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N), a 4 percent boost to some 411 million shares in Buffett's favorite bank.
Seth Klarman, founder and president of the Baupost Group, and David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital, initiated new positions in insurer Genworth Financial. Baupost took a 15 million share stake, while Greenlight took a 658,700 share stake.
Not everyone was a fan of banks, however.
Dinakar Singh's TPG-Axon Capital Management sold its holdings in JPMorgan, which reported an unexpected and enormous trading loss this year from the infamous "London Whale" trading. Singh no longer listed JPMorgan as a holding after owning 3.1 million shares during the first quarter.
Other popular sectors that attracted hedge funds included:
Blue Mountain Capital appeared to be betting on a revival of the housing market and opened a new position in the quarter in KB Home (KBH.N), buying 876,165 shares of the home builder. Meanwhile, Jana bought 6.2 million shares of American Realty Capital Trust Inc ARCT.O, a real estate investment trust.
Berkshire disclosed it accumulated 28.4 million shares of Phillips 66, the ConocoPhillips spin-off. Berkshire also added just over 973,000 shares of oilfield equipment maker National Oilwell Varco Inc (NOV.N).
Jana, led by Barry Rosenstein, exited its position in Marathon Petroleum, which had been the fund's largest stock holding at the end of the first quarter. The fund also sold all of it shares in Hess, another oil company.
Tom Steyer's Farallon Capital made a big adjustment to its holding of gas pipeline company Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI.N). In the first quarter it held 22.5 million shares, but at the end of the second quarter it owned 4 million shares and had warrants to acquire an additional 5.2 million shares.
FOOD and AGRICULTURE
Jana opened a new position in Canadian fertilizer company Agrium Inc (AGU.TO), buying 6.5 million shares.
Philippe Laffont's Coatue Management was bullish on burritos and tacos in the second quarter, adding 185,000 shares of Mexican restaurant chain Chipotle, bringing its total holdings to 567,102 shares.
Klarman's Baupost Group dramatically increased his Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N) exposure to 26,850,601 shares from 17,250,000. His Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) position was steady at 7 million shares, with a brand new position in Oracle Corp ORCL.O at 15.8 million shares.
David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital moved into health insurers in a big way in the second quarter, potentially getting ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that upheld much of the Obama administration's healthcare law. In the quarter, the closely watched manager opened new positions Aetna Inc, Cigna Corp and WellPoint Inc. For instance, Greenlight added over 6 million shares of Cigna in the period.
John Paulson's Paulson & Co upped its stake in HCA Holdings by 397 percent to 8 million shares, while selling out of Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd (TEVA.TA), Tenet Healthcare Corp (THC.N) and Medco Health Solutions Inc MHS.F.
George Soros' family office, Soros Funds Management, opened a new position in Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N), buying 4,831,800 shares. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management also no longer lists Family Dollar Stores Inc FDO.N, the pick he highlighted in 2011 at the Ira Sohn Investment conference.

Fu Leng's Fury was a Daigotsu's Legion kata which trained a swordsman to be patient, waiting for the proper time when his strength waxed and his enemy's defense waned. At that time, he exploded with dark energies, annihilating all defense. This was the most powerful kata yet devised by the Lost. [1]

Target: American Electric Power CEO, Nick Akins
Goal: Demand power plants drop lawsuits and stop polluting our air
Mercury is a deadly neurotoxin that can cause permanent damage to fetuses, infants and toddlers. Arsenic, mercury, zinc and other power plant byproducts end up contaminating the fish, fruits and vegetables we eat, causing cancer rates to skyrocket. The Environmental Defense Fund has spent over one million hours researching mercury and its effects, concluding, "…exposure to mercury in any form places a heavy burden on the biochemical machinery within cells of all living organisms."
After a 21-year fight between the public and coal-burning plants, the EPA finally announced an official Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule that power plant companies would have to abide by. This victory did not last long, as the power plant companies wasted no time jumping on a law suit against the standards. Who would sue to protect their right to spew toxins into our air?
The power plant utilities are spending millions of ratepayer dollars to tie up the important mercury regulations in court. This means many more years of toxins being spewed into the atmosphere, into our ecosystem, our food and eventually our bodies. In 2012, American Electric Power spent over seven million lobbying Congress; these companies are mega-rich and can easily figure ways to cleanly produce electricity. Demand power plants to drop lawsuits and lend big helping hand in making the air more breathable for us and all of our children.
Dear Nick Akins,
The science is there: toxic emissions spewing from coal-fired power plants such as yours settle into lakes, vegetation and eventually on our dinner plates. After a million hours of research, the EDF concluded, "… minimizing all mercury exposure is essential to improving human, wildlife and ecosystem health because exposure to mercury in any form places a heavy burden on the biochemical machinery within cells of all living organisms." This is an issue no one's food or children is safe from; mercury is proven to cause brain damage, cancer and other seriously fatal ailments in humans.
Every year 300,000 infants are born at risk because of their mother's exposure to toxic mercury pollution; coal plants are one of the largest sources of mercury pollution. To put it in perspective, a teaspoon of mercury can contaminate a normal sized lake. Instead of using millions to curtail lawsuits, find a more environmentally stable way to produce energy and save our planet from a speedy destruction. The world's and your own grandchildren will thank you graciously.

Posted 03/24/2014 at 4:02 PM
Posted 3 years ago
Spotting and hunting animals with drones will now be illegal in the state of Alaska, according to the Alaska Board of Game.
Up until now, there have been no laws in Alaska to ban the practice. A moose was killed in 2012 — drones were used to help with the kill.
Alaska's Department of Law could enact the banning of drones for hunting as early as July 1st of this year.
Capt. Bernard Chastain, operations commander for the Wildlife Troopers said "A drone system allowing a hunter or helper to locate game now costs only about $1,000…Under hunting regulations, unless it specifically says that it's illegal, you're allowed to do it…What happens a lot of times is technology gets way ahead of regulations, and the hunting regulations don't get a chance to catch up for quite a while…I think more than anything, the change in the law represents thoughts that we've heard for several years, and based upon how the regulations are written, we had to take an affirmative step to make those illegal."

Help identifying S&W revolver
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone recognize this S&W model 36 revolver in 38 special. Any details at all would be helpful - Serial number J652XXX Here is a picture
I'll tell you the same thing I said the first time you posted this - contact S&W and get a letter. The serial number is probably circa early 80s or so but the question is whether it left the factory like that. If it left the factory in this condition - it may be something special, if not it's just an engraved 36. You can post this once a week and you won't get better info...
Aw snap!......
Wasn't trying to be an azz - the question was asked & answered the first time.
Ever watch Pawn Stars? People come in with a whip used by Harrison Ford or a hat worn by John Wayne - the first question they're asked is whether they have any certified paperwork to back up the claim. In the case of S&W - that paperwork is a factory letter, period, end of story...
My guess is its YOM is 1978.
Some of you guys have a Knack for shutting off talk. Just because you don't have first hand knowledge of a model like this doesn't mean the whole world doesn't.
You supplied a lead last week -thanks - but looking for someone with knowledge of a weapon like this or if scrolling like this is actually done by S&W in their factory or custom shop.
Rick, you asked the question and it's been answered.
Rick- S&W is the only one that can answer that. There is a gent that stops by now and again- Mr. Ken Hurst- I was in his engraving shop many years ago, and his folks could do work that well- but whether that was done after the factory by a Master Engraver, or done at S&Ws shop would have to be answered by S&W.

Someone that I have previously resided with has threatened to get a restraining order against me to protect a particular room in our home, a room in which contains his belongings. This sounds illogical to me as I believe ROs are usually pertaining to people, not things.
The answer depends on the purpose for which the RO is sought. ROs are granted to protect a person, although in some circumstances, ordering another person to stay away from a specific location may be appropriate.
Some people to take their anger out on another person's belongings, and when the person whose belongings are affected believes this anger will translate into anger and violence toward that person, an RO may indeed be appropriate.
If this is a situation where your housemate has "issues" with you touching or disturbing his/her belongings only, however, with no threat of harm to the person, an RO would not be appropriate.
Best wishes.
No attorney-client relatonship is created in responding to this question, and advice provided is based solely on very limited facts presented, and therefore may not be correct. You are advised that it is always best to contact a competent and experienced with the practice of law in the county in which you reside, particularly as it relates to family law, child support, custody and visitation (a/k/a "parenting time") issues, including 209A abuse-prevention restraining orders (a/k/a "ROs" in legal-speak), regarding un-emancipated children, under the age of 22.Ask a similar question
Perhaps the person will seek a no trespass order thereby preventing you from accessing this room without permission. I've never seen an RO issued for a room. I agree with Attorney Molloy's suggestions. Someone can be ordered to stay away from a particular residence or workplace, but not without meeting the standard required by an RO.
The information provided here is not to be constituted as legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is established.Ask a similar question
The short answer is: probably not, unless, as Attorney Molloy has pointed out you can show that there is a likelihood of harm to the person.

The former teen star opens up about the diagnosis after some fans commented on her appearance, saying that she looked too thin.
Former teen star Debbie Gibson reveals that she has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The singer/songwriter opens up about the disease in a post WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU A LEMON ... OR LYME!! which was written on April 16 after some fans commented on her skinny appearance. Gibson explains that she found out about the disease last year following extreme pain and other symptoms.
"The first symptoms came in the form of food sensitivities. I found I could not touch sugar, starch, caffeine, certain oils, etc., without having a severe reaction that felt like jolts of electricity running through my body. I felt like a live wire. Talk about 'Electric Youth'!" she reveals, making reference to her album which was released in 1989.
The singer then says that she became so thin because she could not keep the food down. "I was not absorbing water properly and could not drink enough of it to stay hydrated. Because of this, my appearance was pretty harsh. I was self conscious about the deep lines on my forehead. I got a call right at that moment to do a cameo in the 3rd 'Mega Shark' installment. I hated the thought of appearing on camera looking so gaunt and depleted," she shares.
Gibson says that she "got tested for everything under the sun," but not for Lyme disease. Around the time doctors came with the diagnosis, "my cognitive thinking had been affected... my sense of direction, sleep, moods, stamina, muscles and joints. And, I had this sunken in look and dark circles under my eyes."
In the end of the post, she leaves a message to fans who made cruel remarks about her appearance, writing, "NEVER JUDGE... ANYONE! You never know what someone is going through." Gibson adds, "I am still in this process and undergoing treatment. But, beyond just 'glimmers of hope,' I actually feel like 'ME' again."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I recently won a California Labor Board case. It appears as if the defendant has not appealed; however, the award has not been paid. Another Avvo Lawyer stated that "Under a new law, it is a misdemeanor to fail willfully to pay DLSE awards within 90 days. If it has not paid within 9i0 (sic) days, you can call the district attorney. " Is this true? I know that I have to wait for the Award to be entered at the Superior Court and then I can try to collect. Can I really just call the DA if I have not received payment after 90 days?
California Labor Code Section 216 makes it a misdemeanor for "any person, or an agent, manager, superintendent, or officer thereof...who has the ability to pay wages due and payable after demand has been made." This also makes it a misdemeanor to falsly deny the wages that are owed. Criminal prosecution however will be handled by the DIstrict Attorney or Department of Justice, If you have an award from the Labor Board in the form of a judgment, you may commence collection actions on the employer which would be an appropriate thing to do. Consult a local labor attorney regarding your specific issues.Ask a similar question
Yes, your employer's failure to pay wages due is a criminal offense. You can report this, like any crime, to the police. They may take action, or not, depending on their priorities, over which you have no influence. Meanwhile, you can proceed to collect your award. But, you must not mix these two things up. You must not call the employer and threaten to report the crime unless they pay the civil judgment. That, too, is, at least arguably, unlawful (extortion). Your situation illustrates an unfortunate reality: just because you have an order doesn't mean the employer will pay. The employer may be broke, and simply unable to pay. Good luck!
This response creates no attorney client relationship; consult a local lawyer for help if you proceed.Ask a similar question
Great Advice! Yes, it is a crime, but don't threaten them with it or it is blackmail!! There are many ways to collect, too. For those broke employers, try to get installment payments. Good luck!!
That is true. "An employer may be criminally liable for a misdemeanor for the willful refusal to pay a final court judgment or final order for wages by the Labor Commissioner within ninety (90) days. Each offense carries a minimum $1,000 fine or minimum six (6) months of imprisonment. If the total wages due are more than $1,000, the minimum fine per offense is $10,000 and an employer may be subject to both the fine and imprisonment."

Kobe's Swan Song Takes a New Tune
This is Kobe Bryant's last Olympics. Maybe his last contract, too, unless he dons a metaphorical cowboy hat and sets out for Europe. Through these London Games, it's been abundantly clear what role he should be playing alongside boundlessly athletic types like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, still in the prime of their career. (Or not, which is an even scarier thought.) For the most part, Kobe's done his part setting the tone, watching from the bench and embracing his role as the salty veteran. Then there are performances like the first half of Wednesday's quarterfinal game against Australia, during which the Americans built up an impressive-but-not-overwhelming 14-point lead. It was the sight of Bryant going 0-4 with two turnovers and at least one fantastically botched fast break that prompted many Twitter spectators to idly snark about how Bryant was done for.
"It's pretty clear: It's a little awkward right now for Kobe. Every team post-Shaq he's been on has been all his. The Lakers are his and the 2008 Beijing Redeem Team was unquestionably his. Now, this is LeBron's team. And after that, Durant's team. After that, Chris Paul's and Deron Williams' and Carmelo Anthony's team," Royce Young writes for CBS Sports. "Somewhere down the line, you'd list Kobe out. He's a forgotten piece on this loaded roster. And I don't say that to slight him. It's just reality as you watch these games. He's so uninvolved offensively that you wonder what his role actually is."


text: Gone are the days of fifteen minutes of fame - how about six seconds of stardom? As part of its ongoing mission to create more play in the world, Fanta is debuting a new Vine-based U.S. digital and social campaign, giving teens their own stage to create an original interactive comedy series created by teens, for teens - "Fanta For The Funny." Beginning Friday, August 15 , Fanta is partnering with a team of young multicultural digital influencers to co-create an all-Vine comedy show for teens, unveiling one new episode of the digital series every Friday for six weeks on CollegeHumor.com. Each episode will combine comedy with topics teens care about, like sports and music, while channeling Fanta's mantra - "More Fanta, Less Serious." Check out the first episode, here: www.CollegeHumor.com/Fanta, and follow the funny at @FantaFun and with the hashtag #FantaForTheFunny. The new campaign was developed based on extensive online listening research which uncovered insights about multicultural teens' motivations and behaviors online, and the media and devices through which they engage in playful experiences. The series gives teens an easily-accessible forum for creative self-expression and the ability to connect across diverse U.S. geographies and cultures. "Today one-in-three teens doesn't just want to be famous, but they believe they will actually be famous, and they are interacting with Vines at twice the rate of other audiences in search of humor, entertainment, creativity and conversation," said Racquel Mason, AVP Fanta and Flavors. "'Fanta For The Funny' unites teens around their shared desire for fame and their shared passion for humor, while allowing them to be themselves and to connect their way." Fanta has enlisted three influential young Vine comedians – Alli Cattt, Jason Mendez and Mighty Duck – to be the program's ambassadors. Working with a cast of seven Viners, they will help encourage submissions and will create and share content that is "For The Funny." Fans can submit their own clips for the show by creating a Vine and sharing it with @FantaFun using the hashtag, #FantaForTheFunny.

By David Limbaugh
Past Time to End This Democratic Witch Hunt David Limbaugh
USA – -(Ammoland.com)- I don't deny that President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey was handled poorly, but it pales in comparison with the Democrats' ongoing partisan witch hunt against President Trump concerning Russia.
That should be the story.
Shortly after Trump's dismissal of Comey, Trump defenders had plenty of ammunition. Widely respected and nonpartisan Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had reportedly recommended that Trump fire Comey.
But then the communications from Team Trump on the matter seemed to muddy the waters. Though maintaining that Rosenstein's recommendation was pivotal, Trump spokespeople added other reasons. They claimed that Trump had fired Comey based on his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and because numerous FBI agents and employees were dispirited by Comey's actions.
Then acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe testified, "The vast majority of FBI employees enjoyed a deep, positive connection to Director Comey." A number of retired FBI officials also apparently showed solidarity with Comey by using his face for their Facebook profile photos. And though Rosenstein has contradicted mainstream media reports that he was contemplating resigning over the narrative that he had recommended Comey's dismissal, he reportedly claims that he did not expressly recommend the firing. Oh, boy.
Trump added more to the mix when he told Lester Holt in an interview that he had decided to fire Comey irrespective of the reported Rosenstein recommendation. Media outlets are having a field day with this alleged contradiction. Trump has thrown his communications team under the bus, they say, because his spokespeople clearly said that Trump's firing was a response to the recommendation. Trump's tweets concerning possible recorded conversations between him and Comey didn't help, either.
What a mess.
Though it doesn't look good that Trump's version arguably varies from that of his spokespeople, I don't see any major inconsistency here.
I suspect that Trump was increasingly frustrated with Comey and wanted to fire him and that the recommendation helped justify it. Either way, Trump had the constitutional authority to fire Comey, and it would be scandalous only if he did so to impede a legitimate investigation into his alleged collusion with Russia, which is not the case.
Trump is obviously exasperated that the Democrats are impeding his policy agenda with their obsessive hammering of the bogus charge that he and his team conspired with Russia to interfere with the presidential election.
Despite the incessant media reports and congressional investigations, not a shred of evidence has emerged to substantiate the charge of collusion. We keep saying this, but the media and Democrats keep pretending otherwise. It's unconscionable. Even James Clapper, former President Barack Obama's director of national intelligence, has admitted that there is no evidence of collusion and that he has no reason to suspect it.
The real scandal is not Trump's firing Comey — even if Trump's supporters are unhappy with the timing and the way it was handled and communicated.
The scandal is the liberal establishment's coordinated conspiracy to falsely allege that Trump stole the presidency by colluding with Russia. Liberals absolutely know that it's not true, but they will not quit bearing false witness. How dare they posture indignantly about Trump's supposed dishonesty?
The Democrats know they are fabricating this whole thing, but they figure this is the best way they can thwart Trump's efforts to move the country forward and out of the multiple quagmires Obama landed this country in. Their constant laments about the democratic process are laughably belied by their refusal to accept the results of the presidential election.
It is the Democrats' prerogative to act as the opposition party and to try to impede Trump's agenda. But it is reprehensible that they are doing so through fraudulent means and further dividing the country with their lies about Team Trump and Russia.
Their counterfeit hysteria knows no bounds. Not long ago, Democrats were demanding Comey's head, alleging that his public announcements had sabotaged Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Now they are claiming the firing is a "constitutional crisis" and a "coup." Not only did Trump have the authority to fire Comey but also the termination does not end the investigation.
Author Jon Meacham claimed on "Morning Joe" that Trump had removed someone "in charge of an investigation that could lead to treason." Sen. Richard Blumenthal said the firing may well lead to impeachment hearings. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to oversee the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign.
Hillary Clinton's 2016 running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, said: "We have a deeply insecure president who understands that the noose is tightening because of this Russia investigation. And that's why I believe he has let Jim Comey go."
Obstruction Of Justice Democrat Indifference
Kaine knows better. There is no evidence that there is any noose, much less that it's tightening, and the media's claim that Trump fired Comey because he was seeking more funds to investigate him has been expressly denied by acting Director McCabe. CNN's Van Jones said that the only people who are happy about the firing "are sitting in the Kremlin." MSNBC's Chris Matthews claimed that the firing was "a little whiff of fascism." Countless liberal media and political figures are comparing the Comey firing to the Saturday Night Massacre, in which Richard Nixon fired Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox.
The way this firing transpired is unfortunate, but we wouldn't be talking about this if Democrats and the media weren't lying every hour of every day about a nonexistent scandal. This bogus investigation should end forthwith, no matter who is heading it, because it is based on nothing but innuendo and partisanship.
You conduct an investigation not because you want something to be true but because you have some evidence suggesting it may be. There is no such evidence here, and they've admitted it. Let's move on.

Lucid dreaming, like any advanced skill, requires a considerable investment of time, energy and dedication in order to master. Yet, as a lucidity researcher, I'm regularly asked by those new to the subject, for an easy and low-effort technique. Something that
Members of our lucid dream forum have been asking how to create dream characters in lucid dreams. The most common problem is having characters who look nothing like they should. Or they seem disinterested in your company. Or they fail to show up on command altogether. So, how to combat this? It's a matter of finding creative solutions that bypass logical expectations.
To lucid dream, I recommend being able to remember at least one vivid dream per night. That will boost your self awareness in dreams (making lucidity more likely) and also means you can actually remember your lucid dreams. Which is nice. Here are four detailed tips on how to remember your dreams more frequently. And if you don't think you dream at all - trust me, you almost certainly do. It takes an extraordinarily rare sleep disorder to deprive someone of dream sleep.
It is estimated that these wise and wily Indians have been using mugwort in their healing and ritual practices for 13,000 years, where it is known as the 'dream sage'. They use the herb to promote good dreams, which they consider an essential aspect of normal human functioning! But that's not all...
Silene Capensis has been used for millennia by the Xhosa shaman of the river valleys in the eastern cape of South Africa, where it is known as Undela Ziimhlophe or 'white paths'. It's fragrant white flowers open only at night, when they emit a fragrant and almost hypnotising aroma. Also known as African Dream Herb or Ubulawu, Silene Capensis induces spectacularly vivid dreams - yet has never entered the mainstream and remains a fringe taste within western culture.
Experts agree that everyone is capable of having lucid dreams. Dreaming itself is a normal function of the mind. We all dream every night, even if we don't remember. And we all achieve conscious awareness while awake every single day. So what does it mean to combine these states? Why, the amazing ability to have conscious - or lucid - dreams. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why do I keep hearing from people who say they can't achieve their first lucid dream?

Electronic "Disappointed" cover
I just finished recording a cover of Electronic's "Disappointed". I had never even heard the original song until about a month ago. Hell I had never even heard of the band. But there was something really good at the core of this song and I wanted to try a version of my own.
In case you also didn't know, Electronic were an "alternative dance group formed by New Order singer and guitarist Bernard Sumner and ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr." Thanks Wikipedia. I'm a fan of both New Order and Johnny Marr. Not sure how I missed this band? The track "Disappointed" is from 1992 and made a dent on US charts, and even features Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys on vocals. Though I guess I can see how I missed this song–terrible early 90's bands like UB40, Snow and Color Me Badd really soured me on pop music at the time. But this Electronic song was fun to dig into.
Here's my version of Electronic's "Disappointed". Click below to play. Hope you like it:
Disappointed – Lyrics
If you could cover a song, what would it be? What other songs should I cover?
And just for fun, here's the original (and strange) video from 1992. Primitive computer graphics, Neil Tennant looking bored, some dude holding a giant gold sphere. Enjoy

Nice work man! I love this song, or course being a New Order-aholic I would be into that sort of thing. There is a great remix of it out there by 808 State (its either remixed by them or merged with their stuff by someone else) that is one of my favorite electronica-dance type tracks.
JesusSeptember 24, 2009
Since you seem to be going down "that road", you should cover something like Haircut 100 or Beautiful by Aguilera.
get better electronic drums. Those suck.
IronMikeSeptember 29, 2009
If I could cover a song, what would it be? I guess I'd have to cover 'This Charming Man' by the Smiths.

Hi mate!
How did you suss the chords out for this?
Haven't heard your version yet – but it is quite complex…(the original)
The bass for the verse is built around C minor 7 (G, Bb, C, Eb)
But the chords are:
Gm7 / C, Bb / C, Dm / C and C major / the C m7 bass sequence…
It screwed my head up for a while – trying to transcribe it….but I got there in the end…

Rajesh Rao is looking for the computational principles underlying the brain's remarkable ability to learn, process and store information -- hoping to apply this knowledge to the task of building adaptive robotic systems and artificially intelligent agents.
Some of the questions that motivate his research include: How does the brain learn efficient representations of novel objects and events occurring in the natural environment? What are the algorithms that allow useful sensorimotor routines and behaviors to be learned? What computational mechanisms allow the brain to adapt to changing circumstances and remain fault-tolerant and robust?
By investigating these questions within a computational and probabilistic framework, it is often possible to derive algorithms that not only provide functional interpretations of neurobiological properties but also suggest solutions to difficult problems in computer vision, speech, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Resume Search & Comb Operations for the Missing in Uttarakhand floods
My parents who travelled to Uttarakhand for Char Dhaam Yatra have still not returned home. Their last contact was from Gaurikund on June 16. However, we recently got information that one of their group members contacted his family as recently as 18th July. But due to weak signal they couldnt decipher what he said.
I am confident that my parents and their group are stranded over there somewhere waiting for rescue and help. I am worried about my parents--they are aged and have health issues. I worry if they are struggling to survive and in what condition they may be. Do sons give up on their parents? They don't.
But this is not abour me alone or my parents alone. This is about thousands of others who are missing there. Similar to me, there are thousands of others who have family members or relatives missing in the disaster that unfolded in June.
Pranveer Singh Rathore has 7 of his family members missing, of which 4 are little girls. The Sharma family has 4 members missing. The Subramaniam family has 3 members missing. The Sahni family has 7 members missing. And so on...until the numbers exceed 5000.
How can all of India give up on its loved ones, its citizens? Many of these people may be old people or young kids who are helpless and unable to walk long distances. They cannot travel on their own. Little kids separated from their parents can fall into wrong hands.
An extensive search and rescue operation was mounted by the Indian Army but was halted after a few thousand were rescued.
An UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ) & and BSF Jawan operation had also been started but this too was halted after some time.
Right now, it is imperative and urgent to resume the search and comb operations in the Uttarakhand region so that the missing persons can be rescued and sent home safely. This needs to be resumed as early as possible to save their lives in time.
It is our earnest request to resume the search and comb operations as soon as possible.
Let us not turn our backs on our people. Help us save our people.

Please God give me patience today. I've been up since 3:30 because Bella my dog snuck in the babies room and woke her up by scratching her crib. Sophia had no interest in sleeping until 5 am and when she finally did Bella was scratching her bedroom door to come inside. I want them to be close but this is too much. I'm going to kill this dog.
I never really thought of putting her dog bed near Sophia's crib. I was always worried Bellas footsteps on the wood floor would wake up the baby. I'm going to give it a try tonight and see if that might be what Bela wants. I just get so cranky when I could be sleeping and the reason is something that could be prevented. Sleep is so important don't we moms all know it.
Thank You. You are all so kind. This is really the perfect site to just vent a little and not be judged. Today is a much better day.

My form stopped working 24 hours agoAsked by MarilynLitt on August 23, 2013 at 09:28 PM
I get this message when I do a submission:Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to submit.jotformpro.com
Did you mean: jotformpro.com
I saw we had had no forms submitted since about Noon yesterday. This is our FOUND dog form. No reason I know of for it to quit working. I have not edited the form.
JotForm Support
We apologize for this delayed response, MarilynLitt.
Upon testing your form by making a submission, it appears to be working fine. Are you still experiencing issues when you try making a submission on your end?
Hello, I have been downloading JotForms for LDOT and found that if I click on Found-Dog-Texas and run a Reports > CSV report, the report stops at Aug 13, 2013 submissions (record #2010).
If I pull up the same form under the SUBMISSIONS tag, I get up-to-date listings (record #2112), but we cannot use these - they don't work with our processing procedure (uploading to another database.
Our volunteers are getting further and further behind in their work because of this. It interferes with our productivity. Please look into this and fix this issue
JotForm Support
I am sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing. Can you please try removing the CSV report and creating a new one similar to the one that you currently have in jotform? If after creating a new report you are still not seeing the dates after August 13, please let us know so that we can take another look at it.
Thank you for your reply.
Deleting the entire form is not an option. When I collect the reports, the
date where the record collection stops is different each time. It may stop
JotForm Support
Hi Marilyn,
Good day! I am able to see this even when going to your Form Submissions Page. I guess our developers should check this. Please open a separate thread for this problem so we can proceed on creating a report ticket.
Start a new thread here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/answer.php?.
Please put this thread link as a reference so my colleagues will be aware that I have requested a new thread.

Many will tell you that Shelvey's greatest contribution came when he told a certain Mr Ferguson where to stick it during a high tension United v Liverpool game a few years back.
Here however is a wonderful gesture by the Fulham midfielder. Seven year old Harry Jacobs wrote to Shelvey inviting him to come along to his primary school in Muswell Hill to meet him and his friends. Like Shelvey, Harry suffers from Alopecia Totallis, a condition that caused both to lose their hair at a young age.
Harry's letter went on to say.
You are amazing and scored a goal from 47 yards into the top corner. So, so, so good.
I know you play for Swansea. My name is Harry and I have Alopecia like you.
Do you like [having Alopecia]? I think it is medium because I can't get nits and don't have to go to the hairdressers – which is good. I don't really like it though.
Can you come to my school please, but first to my house. I can take you to school then to meet my friends.
Harry's mother, Nic, also added at the bottom of the letter:
Harry has developed Alopecia really rapidly. He is a mad footy fan and has got some comfort from the fact that you are a Premiership footballer who he can look up to and see that he can still achieve incredible things.
I would really appreciate if you could write back to him.
He is going through a really tough time at the moment and it would be a real boost for him to have a response from you.
Shelvey not only responded, he delivered a whole lot more for the young fan. Harry was invited to Swansea's game with Fulham to receive full VIP treatment where he was handed a full Swansea kit and ticket to watch the game in an exec box. Not only that Harry would go on to walk out before the game with Jonjo as an official match mascot.
Have a look look at the following video.

OnFileClose event/delegate/callback
Filter:Pascal Plain C C++ (DLL/Lib) C++ (VCL) C++ (.NET) C# VB.NET Java
This event is fired when storage needs to be closed.
TSolFSCloseFileEvent = procedure( Sender : TObject; var FileHandle : THandle; var Result : LongInt) of object;
[Plain C]
typedef Error (__stdcall *SolFSCloseFileFunc)( LongWord UserData, PHandle FileHandle);
[C++ (DLL/Lib)]
typedef Error (__stdcall *SolFSCloseFileFunc)( LongWord UserData, PHandle FileHandle);
typedef void (__closure *TSolFSCloseFileEvent)( System::TObject* Sender, PHandle FileHandle, Error& Result);
public __delegate void SolFSCloseFileEvent( SolFSStorage* Sender, UInt32 __gc &FileHandle, Int32 __gc &Result);
public void SolFSCloseFileEvent( SolFS.SolFSStorage Sender, ref uint FileHandle, ref int Result);
Sub SolFSCloseFileEvent( ByVal Sender As SolFS.SolFSStorage, ByRef FileHandle As UInt32, ByRef Result As Int32)
void ISolFSFileEvents.onFileClose()
- Sender - reference to the class that called the delegate/event handler.
- FileHandle - Handle to the storage that needs to be closed. After call to Close the handle should become invalid. It makes sense to set it back to -1 ($FFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF).
- Result - out parameter (return value for DLL) where the application places the result of the operation. If you are working with file system, Win32 error code is a good candidate for placing to Result parameter. Otherwise you can use any other error codes, just be sure that 0 means success.
[Java]See Description for details about error reporting in Java.
- [Plain C] UserData - application-defined parameter which is specified when creating the storage and passed back to callback function.
The event is fired when the storage is to be closed.
The callback/event handler must be set before the storage is opened.
You need to implement ISolFSFileEvents interface in your code and pass the object, that implements the events, to one of SolFSStorage constructors that accept storageEvents parameter.
ERROR REPORTING: In Java you can't return more than one parameter, so the natural way is to throw an exception. You can throw any exception, and this exception will be passed back to the code, which called one of SolFS functions. So if you use callback mechanism and throw exception from within event handlers, be sure to wrap each call to SolFS methods with try/catch.

Pentax Optio A10 Review

Resolution Chart Comparison
Comparison cameras:
- Pentax Optio A10 (8MP, 3x zoom)
- Casio EX-Z850 (8MP, 3x zoom)
- Canon PowerShot S80 (8MP, 3.6x zoom)
- Nikon Coolpix P3 (8MP, 3.5x zoom)
- Panasonic DMC-LX1 (8MP, 4x zoom)
- Olympus Stylus 800 / Mju 800 Digital (8 MP, 3x zoom)
Shots here are of our standard resolution chart (version one or two). This chart allows us to measure the actual performance of the lens and sensor system. It measures the ability of the camera to resolve lines at gradually higher resolutions and enables us to provide a definitive value for comparison purposes. Values on the chart are 1/100th lines per picture height. So a value of 15 equates to 1500 lines per picture height. (Note that on version two of our chart the vertical resolution 1000 - 2000 lines have been horizontally flipped but are otherwise identical). For each camera the relevant prime lens was used. The chart is shot at a full range of apertures and the sharpest image selected.
Studio light, cameras set to auto, settings all factory default. If possible aperture was selected for optimum sharpness. Exposure compensation +0.3 EV to +1.3 EV.
