Nicole Richie and Harlow Bundle Up For Play
Nicole Richie, 27, and her lovely daughter with Joel Madden, Harlow, 1, were sighted leaving a house in West Hollywood after a surely spirited playdate.
Both ladies were bundled up to stave off the LA winter chill. Harlow in an adorable coat with white stocking hat, and Nicole in a black beret with some serious boot action going on.
And Harlow has a toy giraffe to keep her busy.
Nicole is busy these days. Her dalliance with reality TV programming seems to be over for good.
She spends most of her time these days raising her daughter with companion Joel, 29, and running their charitable foundation , the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation, for young mothers.
And the glittery headband wearer could have more on the way.
People DO evolve and grow, it seems.

U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) today pressed for legislation to ensure that federal disaster relief is available for farmers and ranchers in Minnesota and across the country who are hit by this year's worsening drought.
Sen. Franken joined several Senate colleagues in pushing for a bill to restart funding for four U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) disaster-relief programs that expired in October of last year and to ensure that they cover qualified livestock losses incurred since then.
"Farmers and ranchers in Minnesota and across the country are being hit by expanding drought conditions, and some of our most important disaster-relief tools have lapsed," said Sen. Franken. "This legislation would restart four important disaster-relief programs for livestock producers who are suffering losses in the current drought."
The Wildfire and Drought Relief for Ranchers and Farmers Act will provide one year of retroactive mandatory funding for four disaster relief programs which expired on October 1, 2011. The USDA programs included are:
Livestock Forage Disaster Program, which covers grazing losses on federally leased land.
Livestock Indemnity Program, which covers livestock deaths on both private or federal land. Farmers are compensated at a rate of 75% of market values for livestock killed by disasters.
Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, which compensates producers for disaster losses not covered under other disaster programs.
Tree Assistance Program, which provides payments to eligible orchardists and nursery tree growers to cover 70% of the cost of replanting trees or nursery stock following a disaster.
The Wildfire and Drought Relief for Ranchers and Farmers Act was introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and cosponsored by Sen. Franken and Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).

About Me
I am having a fun time with photography this year as it is taking more of a forefront in my life. Send me some of your ideas and lets shoot! To better describe my style than what you see in my photos is that i like to shoot in a candid and true to life fashion. I have a very clean look and the ability to capture that decisive moment, a feeling, and emotion with my work. High contrast is always appealing to me for photos as a way of making a point to the idea or feeling.
I am interested in expanding my portfolio and I will take paid and tfcd/p gigs. I have a studio in NE Minneapolis that is easy to get to and very open for whatever you want to shoot.
Let me know what you need and what you have in mind, and we'll go from there.

Statement from Senator Dilan, Re: Implementation of Secure Communities program
"I'm disappointed New York's request to suspend the expansion of the Secure Communities program was ignored. This program threatens any hope of developing new inroads among law enforcement and our immigrant communities of New York. Furthermore, any progress toward a working relationship between the two will surely suffer once this program is implemented."

Pierce Brosnan gets to relive his James Bond glory days in Roger Donaldson's "The November Man," as Peter Devereaux, a former CIA operative who's called out of retirement for one last mission. And it's fun to see the 61-year-old actor play the part of the seasoned professional, outsmarting government agents and bad guys — sometimes the two overlap — while kicking butt with ease. Unfortunately, Brosnan is let down by a screenplay that's too by-the-book and convoluted.
Based on Bill Granger's book "There Are No Spies," with a script by Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek, most of the movie's action takes place in the city of Belgrade, Serbia. Its entire police department appears to have taken a vacation while the events in the picture unfold, and the pedestrians may as well be cardboard cutouts. Normally, this lack of interaction between the environment, central characters and events wouldn't be a big problem, but everything in "The November Man" feels too familiar. Donaldson simply mixes in too many familiar ingredients, resulting in a movie that probably thinks it's being clever and complex when it's bloated and muddled instead.
The strongest aspect of "The November Man" is the rivalry between Peter and young agent Mason (Luke Bracey), a former pupil of Peter's. After Peter is reactivated by his former boss, Hanley (Bill Smitrovich), and things go south, Mason chases Peter around the crowded Belgrade streets. While not great, the master/apprentice dynamic between Bracey and Brosnan is engaging, and it's entertaining to watch Brosnan gain the upper hand at nearly every turn. Had it just been about the rivalry, "The November Man" could have been, at the very least, a decent action/thriller. But Donaldson insists on adding in familiar contrivances to try to complicate things.
Peter must protect a young social worker, Alice (Olga Kurylenko), who has some important information on the Russian president-elect's malevolent past. A Russian female assassin that's hired to kill Alice disappears and reappears sporadically throughout the picture, and toward the end, Peter's 12-year-old daughter is brought into the mix, as well. The daughter strand is a particularly lazy attempt to raise the stakes late in the game, as the character is nearly robotic.
All of these twists and turns that take place aren't very surprising, and the final mysteries involving Alice's true identity and who the real antagonists are can be seen from a mile away.
There are already plans to make a sequel, which makes sense, considering the movie concludes with a number of loose ends. Assuming the audience will be entertained enough by the first installment to want another one before the first one even comes out is risky. Brosnan's charm certainly makes "The November Man" watchable, but it's not compelling or original enough to generate much interest in a sequel.

If you haven't heard, a security research group has created a hack using a weakness in the MD5 hash algorithm to create "valid" certificates that will be trusted by your browser (here is a site with some good demos of the process). Basically, they are generating a certificate through a bogus Certificate Authority (CA) that is identical to one generated by a valid CA, and your browser has no way of knowing the difference. The good news is that most CA's now use SHA-1 as their hash algorithm, but there are still a few CA's that use MD5.
But what I thought was a funny tidbit about the hack is that the researchers constructed the attack "using an advanced implementation of a known MD5 collision construction and a cluster of more than 200 PlayStation 3 game consoles" (emphasis added). Yep, that's right - PS3's. I picked up on this because over a year ago I wrote a short post here at Computerworld about a story that talked about the New Zealand-based security researcher Nick Breese using the PS3 "to crack passwords at speeds 100 times greater than Intel hardware is capable of."
I said this in that post:
[N]o one is really saying that this is a real and current threat to Windows passwords and SSL.
And because the Playstation is cheaper than your typical PC, it could become something to think about in the future.
Though I am not saying that hackers are going to start buying PS3's in bulk and use them for cracking SSL, I can say that it now looks like this is a more viable option. And I am sure Sony won't object.

Can Of Corn
Rebuilding Redefined
For quite a while now, teams with little hope of contending have been rightly ridiculed for throwing cash at high-end free agents despite a roster full of surrounding chaff. The Mets of the early '90s and Devil Rays for most years of their miserable existence as ball club-cum-novelty act are prominent examples of this phenomenon. Teams that indulged in this approach often squandered precious draft picks by signing free agents that had been offered salary arbitration by their former employers and also provided themselves with plenty of disincentive against trading high-salary veterans off for prospects. As you can see, in previous years, such an off-season approach would strike a pair of potent blows against the rebuilding process. Well, this may no longer be such a ham-fisted way of operating.
As has been detailed here and elsewhere from various and sundry angles, baseball's economic landscape is now altogether different. Whether it's collusive in nature or merely a market correction isn't my concern at this time, but it is a market that bears scant resemblance to the one only two winters ago. A new wrinkle is that teams aren't offering arbitration to those free agents that, even a year ago, would've been no-brainers: Vlad Guerrero, Gary Sheffield, Mike Cameron, Greg Maddux, Bartolo Colon, Ivan Rodriguez, Javy Lopez, among a host of others. The idea being that the market for free agents is so depressed that there's now a substantive chance the player will accept arbitration and take his team to the cleaners, at least relative to what he'd command on the open market. The upshot of this development is that the overwhelming majority of free agents can now be signed without forfeiting high compensatory draft picks to his former club.
Another side effect of the economic sea change in baseball is that the days of swapping veteran performers for vast swaths of minor league talent are largely over; now, the calculus is one that involves trading one cumbersome contract for another slightly less cumbersome contract and a grade-C prospect or two. In other words, in the current environs, this is no longer part of the rebuilding arsenal.
Two teams that have been active on the free agent market despite only nominal hopes of relevance are the Orioles and Mets. They've not done things perfectly. The Mets, for instance, have lessened the long-term value of their best prospect, Jose Reyes, by shifting him leftward along the defensive spectrum. The Orioles, meanwhile, signed Miguel Tejada, one of the few high-end free agents to be offered salary arbitration (leave it to Oakland to be perhaps the only club to correctly read the arbitration tea leaves), to a deal that will extend well beyond his usefulness, and in the process coughed up a high draft pick. The Mets have inked Kaz Matsui and Cameron, but what they're really doing is engaging all with an inspiriting drive for 80 wins. The O's, if rumors are any guide, might wind up signing Vlad Guerrero. If they do that, they'd win the Central by 10 games. As things are, however, they're in the AL East, easily baseball's toughest division, and they'll be battling for third place. But that's OK.
As I've explained, I don't think the Mets and Orioles have gone about this properly, but it is possible, in this market, to aspire to respectability and simultaneously rebuild. Sign players who aren't blocking legit prospects ready for the highest level, and don't squander draft selections by signing players who've been offered arbitration. What's more, the bear market means that many of these free agents are available, in terms of money and contract length, at a reasonable cost. The reconstruction process isn't derailed--and who knows, maybe luck allows you to back into the playoffs a few years ahead of schedule?
Respectable showings take the whiff of failure away from the organization, and fans and media who don't know better are sufficiently titillated by winter goings-on and the thought of contention. It may be that the outlay of cash required to sign free agents who can sufficiently improve an otherwise miserable team (this point is critical, and it's why I'm not tossing any verbal bouquets Detroit's way; for all their off-season machinations, the Tigers have maybe added three wins--maybe) is made up by increased ticket and merchandise sales. It may be that the current front-office regime using such a strategy, and thereby winning 80 to 85 in the rebuilding years rather than 60 to 65, buys itself more time to implement fully its long-term vision.
And in public-relations terms, it's much easier to feign contention than to handle the onerous task of selling rebuilding to fan bases and pundits who take it as some sort of mortal affront that the team can't compete every year. In past seasons, this sheep-in-wolf's clothing act would exact serious costs down the road. Now, maybe it won't, provided the "quest for mediocrity" is handled most carefully.
On a holistic level, this approach is better for the game. Fewer hopeless rebuilding projects mean better competition throughout the league. Team performances are squeezed at the margins, and that makes things more interesting for everyone.
The idea that total commitment to rebuilding means completely abandoning the free agent market in favor of three, four, five years of listless ticket sales and bottom-feeding rosters is no longer true, and the opposite approach can no longer be dismissed out of hand. It's not as costly to sign free agents, and it's not as beneficial to trade off veterans. You may rightly ask: What are the Orioles doing? Fair enough, but unlike in years past, that question is no longer snarky and rhetorical in nature.

$43 million threshold for HMDA reporting in effect
Share This
$43 million threshold for HMDA reporting in effect
Jan. 27, 2014 – Certain credit unions that issued mortgages last year and had more than $43 million in assets as of Dec. 31 are required to maintain mortgage loan/application registers this year under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.
NCUA, in a
Regulatory Alert
last week, reminds that credit unions that meet the three criteria for HMDA reporting must keep registers on all of this year's mortgage loans issued and applications taken and submit that data to the Federal Reserve Board by March 2, 2015.
The three criteria include the asset-size threshold, location in a metropolitan statistical area and issuance of a home purchase loan (or related refinancing) in the previous calendar year.

Hi Sweet Friends,
Can you believe it? We're already halfway through Prevention Month. Time flies when you're kickin' butt and gettin' healthy! We started our journey with insights from some crazy sexy thought leaders and change makers. Next stop, an in-depth look at organic farming. And today we're bringing prevention straight to your doorstep—literally.
Here's something you might not know about me: I love horror movies. Love 'em, the scarier the better. I'm a sucker for the building of suspense and the gasp when someone sinister looms in the doorway. My blood pumps, my heart leaps, it's a ride. You know when the college co-ed realizes that the call is coming from inside the house? Eeeek!
So, how does my love of spooky movies translate into prevention? Just like in the movies, sometimes the toxins that do us damage are coming from right inside our own homes! From chemical-laden mattresses to noxious household cleaners to the water coming out of our taps, there are about a million possible sources of scary chemicals in homes.
Don't worry, even the smallest baby step toward a more natural home helps—you don't need to throw everything you own away and only buy things made of hemp. Let's talk about what these chemicals do to your bod, where they might be hiding and how we can avoid them (with a handy, downloadable PDF to take through your casa!).
What are some of the most common household chemicals?
- Formaldehyde. This known carcinogen is in products from particle board to nail polish. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates the acceptable levels of formaldehyde for workplaces, but there aren't any standards for levels in homes.
- Benzene. Found in paint, fuel, and tobacco smoke, this Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs are gases that products release over time) has been linked to leukemia.
- Chlorine Bleach. Nearly ubiquitous in cleaning products (toilet scrubbers, tile cleaners, laundry detergents and straight up bleach itself), this guy causes eye, throat and lung irritation, and if mixed with ammonia, bleach creates poisonous gasses.
- Phthalates. These sneaky buggers are in everything from plastic food containers to shampoo. They can throw your endocrine system way outta wack.
- PCBs. Even though the production of PCBs was outlawed in the States in 1979, these chemicals are still in circulation and are considered a likely carcingoen. Most of our exposure comes from the air (when these particles are released through decomposition of older products), and through food. Fish are particularly likely to carry PCBs in their bodies, since the chemicals have seeped into the water supply.
How can we start to get these harmful chemicals out of our homes?
Environmental Working Group is a leader in up-to-the-minute research on toxins, and their experts examine every facet of our lives, looking for the troublemakers. Together, we created this Healthy Home Checklist, which you can download here, print out, stick on your fridge and check off to help cut down on the toxic load your home carries.
You probably do already know how much I love looking under the hood, poking around for the not-so-obvious roots of a problem, and that's just what this checklist will help you do. Oh, and the toxins in your laundry room are slightly less immediately scary than a chainsaw-wielding maniac. Promise. Let's get snooping!
The Healthy Home Checklist
- Filter your tap water. Check EWG's online tap water quality database for local contaminants and a filter that removes them, if needed. Look up your water.
- Kick the bottled water habit. For water on-the-go, get a reusable water bottle, like stainless steel (not plastic or aluminum lined with plastic). Learn more.
- Eat organic. Remember our little chat last week? Check EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce to be sure you buy organic when pesticide residues are highest.
- Say no to fragrance. We don't know what's in "fragrance," so it's safer to choose all fragrance-free personal care products. Always check ingredient lists to be sure. Learn more. Switch to essential oils for all your good-smelling needs.
- Check your toothpaste. Choose fluoride-free for kids younger than 2 and teach older kids to rinse and spit; fluoride is toxic if swallowed. Also, pick a paste without triclosan—you'll see it on the ingredient list. Learn more about fluoride and triclosan.
- Ditch extra products. Less is more. Skipping cosmetics like hair spray and detangler (tip: don't wash out all your conditioner), air fresheners is less toxic—and cheaper! Learn more at EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database.
- Use greener cleaners. It's hard to know without a full ingredient list, which most products don't have. Find greener cleaners at EWG's Guide to Healthy Cleaning.
- Ditch compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). They contain mercury and should be handled and disposed of with care. Use them where there's no danger of breaking near children; clean up broken bulbs quickly and safely. Learn more.
- Are your furnishings frightening? Learn more about what chemicals might be hiding in your sofa or mattress here.
- Listen to your doctor. Dr. Frank Lipman shared the 20 ways he keeps his home from becoming a hotbed of toxins.

They are not just not anime related they're not really related to the Asian music scene at all. To me the music sounds like pretty generic European / British metal; as are the other song titles, the lyrics, the band, the company publishing the music, etc.
Still... If people want to talk about other styles of music, I've nothing against it so long as it is kept to a minimum and doesn't get out of hand. Lets be honest about it though; pretending it fits the guidelines of this forum is just misleading... and you might want to give more substance to your post next time; posting just the links to MP3s (legal or otherwise) really does look like spam.
Oh... for those who like the style of music, I think the band is pretty good. I might even look for more of their stuff.

But i should have mentioned there " power metal "
Asian tour - Japan
and if you want proof of anime here you go:
O i wasn't just saying he was chineese to fit one guidline , a saw "music" i didn't see that it had toe be strictly anime related (similar to the games section) until after i had made the thread.

Hoyer Floor Statement on Continuing Resolution
mr. dicks: i yield five minutes to the distinguished democratic whip, mr. Hoyer from maryland, who has been a real leader in our house. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland is recognized for five minutes. mr. Hoyer: i thank the gentleman from washington for yielding. thank you, madam speaker. this piece of legislation will provide for the funding of our government from now until september 30 of this year. while i do not want to engage in a debate looking at the past, but we are here because we did not fund the government in the last congress through september 30. and frankly there's not much use in pointing at one another as we've been doing. there was an omnibus that was on the floor at the urging of the leader in the senate, and it was not able to get the 60 votes necessary because those of you on the minority side of the senate did not give votes to do that. notwithstanding that, the issue today is not what happened yesterday but what's going to happen today. and we have a choice to make. we have a choice to make in a divided house, in a divided congress and divided government . the speaker talked about divided government. and that choice is whether we will come together, work together, try to make the best possible agreement that we could make and then move together. i think the american public expect us to do that. during the course of the debate some days ago i referenced with the chairman of the appropriations committee who comes from kentucky, another famous kentuckyian, henry clay. henry clay came to this congress and was elected speaker on the first day of his service in this congress. interesting enough, he was speaker during the eighth congress, during the 10th congress and during the 13th congress. he served for some 10 years as speaker. he served, also, in the united states senate and, in fact, was deemed to be one of the most outstanding members of the united states senate. he is unique in history. and he said this, and i will repeat it. if you cannot compromise you cannot govern. and what he meant by that, of course, was that the american people in 435 districts and 50 states -- not 50 states, of course, when he was speaker, -- go to the polls and elect people to come to washington to represent them. and not surprisingly in a democracy they have different points of view. they have different per expectives. they have different -- perspectives. they have different priorities. they come from different geological concerns. their districts have different interests. and so it should not shock any of us that there is not agreement in 100% of the cases or sometimes 70% or sometimes 6 0% and perhaps not even 50%. but there does come a time when the american public expect us to be able to act. gridlock is not what they voted for. madam speaker, i will vote for this resolution. i do not vote for this resolution any more than anybody else on this house floor will vote for or against this resolution because they like everything that's in it or dislike everything that's in it. if i were writing this resolution the priorities would be different. i heard my friend, rosa delauro, who is now the ranking member on the labor and health subcommittee. very frankly, if i were on the committee, i'm the second ranking member of the appropriations committee, i would be the ranking member of the health subcommittee and i would share her views. i do share her views. i think the priorities that we have agreed to in this resolution are not my priorities, but we have reached agreement. the president of the united states, elected by all the people, the majority leader of the united states senate and the speaker of this house worked for literally weeks to try to come together to forge an agreement so that we could fund government for the balance of this year. it's not useful to blame anybody as to why we're so late on this, but it is useful to say that we are about to embark after we pass this piece of legislation a critical debate on the differences we do have in the priorities of this country. very substantive, deeply held beliefs on the differences that exist between our two parties. and the budgets that will be offered after we pass this resolution on the budget for the 2012 year -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. Hoyer: are going to be the substance of our debate. i would hope at this period of time, madam speaker, that we pass this resolution, keep our government functioning and come together to debate the real priorities of this country in the next bill. and i yield back the balance of my time.

A&M's Johnson still with family in Dallas
Updated 11:13 pm, Saturday, November 17, 2012
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said Saturday that Aggies receiver Thomas Johnson is with his family. Johnson was found Thursday morning near Dallas Skyline High School after he had been missing since Monday.
"We'll see what happens, that's all I can say now," Sumlin said, offering no timetable for his return to the program.
Coaching mark: Sumlin has won more games than any first-year A&M coach after the Aggies improved to 9-2 on the season following Saturday's victory. R.C. Slocum, (8-4 in 1989), and D.X. Bible (8-0 in 1917) had the old record.

It's well known that beauty trends constantly shift and evolve. It is less well known that the push behind those shifts and evolutions is often largely due to the beauty industry innovators behind the scenes, the people crafting tools and products that create an easier, more consistent experience and application with any given beauty product. But how does this evolution occur—do trends drive innovation, or does innovation drive trends? In actuality, it's a little bit of both.
At Anisa International, for example, high-end beauty clients depend on the company's innovators to stay ahead of the trends, and to this end, Anisa International invests 20% of its revenue into R&D to create new products that, with consumer education, help drive new market needs. Anisa International also works to develop classic products to satisfy current trends, and this commitment to R&D stems from deep roots in creativity and design and a history of entrepreneurship, with innovation as a key pillar in staying fresh and relevant.
For beauty brands, a choice has to be made regarding new product creation. It would be easy to follow the herd by crowdsourcing design decisions or creating knock-off products of established brands. Or, if millions of dollars were at your disposal, having legions of scientists and engineers on hand to design and develop new products.
All of these practices are common in the beauty industry today, as beauty deals with businesses of various sizes. But as entrepreneurs with a lean team, small- and even medium-sized beauty businesses need to carefully select the innovation choices they make, as their time and money investments must lead to products with real impact.
While beauty brands consistently love setting and being ahead of the trends, they also must look for ways to incorporate the most meaningful current trends into new products. This is the duality that must be balanced in the beauty industry—creating a classic product with staying power while remaining fresh.
When designing new products, traditional methods of innovation are often utilized—studying trending and historical data, collaborating with other companies, looking at fashion—along with leaning on intuition and years of industry experience. This informs beauty brand owners of what will work and what will not.
While Anisa International has often incorporated traditional innovation methods into its process, years of product development experience has led the company to pioneer its own methodology that employs creative thought and action to produce successful, revolutionary products. This process is called A.G.I.L.E.: Aspiration, Gut, Inspiration, Listening and Evolution.
Aspiration. Aspirational products go beyond being creative or clever; they require unleashing people's passions. To develop something aspirational, you need to first deeply understand what those aspirations are—what you believe in, why you do what you do—because people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. Trends are fueled by aspiration, and the deepest and most lasting trends feed into one or more of the basic categories of human aspiration: financial, emotional, spiritual and physical.
Gut. Keeping ahead of the curve often requires the confidence to trust your instincts and run with your intuition.

A contrite Darcy Lussick insists he's not a malicious player and his four-game suspension for a high shot on Sydney Roosters enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves during Parramatta's NRL defeat last month was fair.
Lussick was fortunate to stay on the field when he poleaxed the Kiwi prop in the 56-4 defeat at Allianz Stadium and praised his former Manly teammate for the manner in which he reacted.
He also said sitting on the sidelines watching his team's rejuvenation following that humiliation had been hard.
"They haven't missed me too much - three wins and a narrow loss," Lussick said.
"We played junior footy at Manly and I went up to him after the game and said sorry.
"The way Jared handled it was a massive credit to him. I didn't go out to hurt him and he didn't go down. It shows the kind of player he is.
"It was a bit unfortunate. I got him a bit high, it was poor technique on my part and I can't complain.
"I've had plenty of time on my hands to work on my technique over the last four weeks."
Lussick returns to action for Easter Monday's mouth-watering clash with local rivals Wests Tigers.
Like the Eels, the joint-venture have defied the critics with a fine start to the season, also winning their past three games.
Representative props Aaron Woods and Keith Galloway have been key factors in the recent run and Lussick is expecting a huge test in the front row.
"They've been playing well and it will be a tough test in the forwards," he said.
"But I can't wait to play. It's been hard watching on from the sides."

Epilogue no Jutsu!
"…And they all lived happily ever after," finished Sakura, closing the enormous black photo album in her lap.
"But what happened next?" demanded the frowning child sitting cross-legged on the brown sofa next to her.
"What happened next?" repeated girl on the other side.
"You know, sweetie," said Sakura, ruffling the first child's black hair. "They went back home and got married. Had a bunch of kids, too. Kids who are up past their bedtime."
"Aww," moaned the boy. "But it's a Friday!"
"You said we could stay up," complained the pouting girl.
"I said you could stay up till Daddy came home. That was twenty minutes ago."
"You let Kaoru stay up later!"
"That's because she's three years older than you two. Come on, up the stairs. And if either of you wake up Mikio, you're both on diaper duty tomorrow."
"Eew!" they both squealed, and clambered up the carpeted stairway to their shared bedroom."
"Was that necessary?" asked a deep voice from behind Sakura. "You know they never disobey you."
"Force of habit, what can I say," answered Sakura, grinning. "Those two need a little excitement or they get hyperactive."
Sasuke, still wearing his ANBU black ops uniform, sat down beside her, picking up the old photo album.
"You know, someday your distant descendants will be looking through this and saying "Look, there's Great-Great Grandma Sakura."
Sakura groaned. "Don't remind me."
"It's hard to believe it's been so long since then," murmured Sasuke, flipping open the album and touching his favorite picture. It showed a happy couple on their wedding day, along with the somewhat drunk best man and his bridesmaid girlfriend.
"You know Hinata's expecting soon," said Sakura, glancing at the photo. "They think it's a boy. Naruto's planning on naming it after you if it is."
Sasuke laughed. "That idiot."
"I think it's cute. Respectful, even."
"He's probably going to change his mind in a few days. Although if it is a boy, you'd feel obligated to do something in return if they named it after you."
"You're probably right. Man, that's confusing."
"Don't worry about it," answered Sasuke, kissing Sakura's forehead.
A preteen girl with a pink braid stuck her head out from behind the wall.
"Junko! Kazuhiro! Mom and Dad are making out!"
Cries of "Ew! Gross!" issued from upstairs.
"Kaoru! Finish your report and get to bed! And put your father's mask back on its shelf when you're finished. Kakashi won't be happy if that paper isn't done by tomorrow."
"Aw, Mom…" Kaoru's head disappeared back behind the wall.
"Kakashi never gave US homework…" mumbled Sasuke.
"Yeah well, it's his problem. Now, where were we?" said Sakura, pulling his head back down to hers.
As they kissed, four children hid behind the white plaster walls and watched. An almost-teenage girl with an elbow-length rosy braid and black eyes held up a toddler with a wisp of pink hair on top of his head. Below her, two raven-haired children with deep green irises pinched one another for a better view.
All four of them wore the Uchiha fan on their backs.
And thus, the establishment of a new generation, and the rebirth of that which was brought to the brink of extinction, had begun.
Who would've thought six months and 33 chapters ago it'd actually be FINISHED! I have overcome my laziness! This little thing I started in September of 2007 is finally done, and boy did I have fun writing it! Thanks to every single one of you who reviewed, favorited, or just read! You all are awesome people! Never let the ninja love die out! WOOT WOOT!
Now...go on to read someone else's (obsession) stories, and be as nice with them as you were with me. PEACE AND LOVE! Teh Pocky Ninja: OUT!

The Cemetery is located aprox 1/2 mile south of the intersection of Nelson Lane and Parmeter Road in Palermo. It should also be noted that it was well off the road and located in a large commercial blueberry field. The particular field in question (as the entire field spanned both sides of the road) would be located to the western side just beyond the crest of the hill and a little northwest. I may have missed some graves as it was severely overgrown and in poor shape. I had to move brush and briars to get at some of the markers.

Teenager Rachel Mwanza from the Congo took home the Best Actress award at the Berlin Film Festival for her role in "War Witch" (the English title), a film from Quebec director Kim Nguyen. The flick looks at child soldiers who are forced to fight in wars in Africa and beyond.
"It's a completely surreal story,'' Nguyen said in an interview with Postmedia News last week. "It's a mixture of myth and reality. But it really troubled me, that story (of) how desperate a situation can become when you have complete faith in a nine-year-old child to guide you (into) war. He told the interviewer that he was incredibly impressed by Mwanza's fantastic acting chops at such a young age. "I said, 'Are these actors or are these non-actors?' Who is acting and who is not acting? They all never acted before, but it turns out, every actor who was fascinating, who had something vibrant about them, were from the streets. They didn't have a home, and there's this liveliness, this urgency that you can't invent."
The film, which also goes by its French name "Rebelle," had its world premiere at the event. It was nominated for the top prize, the best film award, as well but did not win (it instead went to "Caesar Must Die," an Italian documentary). Even so, Nguyen told Postmedia News, "This is the first of my four films (in which) what I see on the screen is what I wanted to do. That's my reward, my biggest reward."
Look for "War Witch" in theatres across Canada in the spring.

Deep Creek Lake FAQ's
Featured Listings
#2 How big is Deep Creek Lake and what is the temperature? The lake is approximately 13 miles long with 65 miles of shoreline. The deepest point is approximately 75 feet with an average depth of 25 feet. Surface temperatures generally top out in the low 70's in the summer.
#3 Who actually owns and manages Deep Creek Lake? The State of Maryland actually owns the lake bed, the water, and Buffer Strip of land around the entire lake. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages and patrols the lake. Brookfield Power owns the dam and hydro-electric facility. The Maryland Department of Environment regulates how much water Brookfield Power can release from the lake – ensuring proper lake levels throughout the boating season.
#4 What are the boating restrictions on Deep Creek Lake? Boating restrictions are numerous but the main ones are as follows:
- No boats longer than 26 feet are permitted (excluding pontoons)
- No speed restrictions except in designated areas
- There must be a personal flotation device available for every passenger on board.
- No Personal Water Crafts (PWC's) or Jet Skis are permitted on the lake between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays between the 4th of July and Labor Day weekends.
- Anyone born after 1972 must complete a Boater Safety Course to be eligible to operate any type of watercraft.
- For a full list of rules and regulations please view: http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/deepcreeklake.html
#5 How many houses are around Deep Creek Lake? While the number of houses fluctuates there are approximately 1,800 homes around the 65 miles of shoreline and another 700 homes with access to the lake and in the general watershed vicinity.
#6 What are the temperatures and climate like in Garrett County? Since Garrett County and Deep Creek Lake are at an elevation between 2,400-3,000 feet above sea level, the outside air temperature is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than the surrounding metropolitan areas. If it's 90 in Baltimore, it usually is in the low 80's at Deep Creek. This allows people to escape the heat and humidity of the city in the summer. In the winter the elevation results in more snow with an annual average of approximately 90 inches. Some winters result in more snow than others. In fact, two of the past five winters have resulted in more than 200 inches of snow!
#7 What activities are available? The easier question to answer would be "what isn't there to do?" The activities available in Garrett County and Deep Creek are numerous and much more than other resort areas in the East. Activities include but are not limited to the following: Alpine (downhill) Skiing, ATV (Four Wheeler) Riding, Backpacking, Road Biking, Bird Watching, Boating, Camping, Canoeing, Cross Country Skiing, Dog Sledding, Fishing/Ice Fishing, Fly Fishing, Kayaking, Golf, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Hunting, Mountain Biking, Orienteering, Rappelling, Rock Climbing, Rollerblading, Sailing, Scuba Diving, Sledding & Tubing, Snowboarding, Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing, Skateboarding, Swimming, Tennis, Wakeboarding, Water Skiing, Whitewater Rafting and Windsurfing.
#8 What are the restaurants and night life like? There are nearly 50 restaurants in the Deep Creek Lake area, including franchises, fine cuisine, and good old fashioned local restaurants. The nightlife revolves around the various bars, taverns and night clubs around the lake. If you are looking for more family friendly things to do, the area boasts a state of the art eight screen movie theatre in addition to multiple family arcades with go-karts, mini golf and laser tag.
#9 Are there any arts and cultural activities? Not only does the Garrett Lake Arts Festival run throughout the summer, but the town of Oakland has the weekly Little Yough Summer Music Festival that's held every Friday. Also the Stage Wisp is home to an exciting concert series, hosting nationally known musicians. Our Town Theatre puts on various plays and productions throughout the year as well.
#10 I really like the creature comforts of my primary residence, what services are available to me? Don't worry, your cell phone will work up here in the mountains. Other than a few dead spots in the county you should be able to get good signals wherever you are. Also, most communities and homes now have access to high speed internet – whether it's a DSL line or a cable modem.
#11 What plans are in the works for improvements to the Wisp Ski Resort and additional public sewer service around the lake? Most of the improvements are planned to take place at Wisp Ski Resort on the northern end of Deep Creek Lake. The Wisp Ski Resort continues to add new trails, skiable terrain, and higher capacity chair lifts. This has resulted in less wait time and overall better skiing conditions. As for public sewer, the officials of Garrett County have set a goal to have the entire Deep Creek Lake watershed on public sewer by the year 2030.
#12 Is Deep Creek Lake turning into Ocean City, MD? No. Even though Deep Creek Lake has grown over the years it is still a peaceful mountain get-away. With current zoning regulations and a scarcity of available commercial property it's hard to ever imagine Deep Creek Lake turning into a highly commercialized resort.

McDonald's In Miniature: Why French People Don't Get Fat
I snapped a picture of this new McDonald's ad in the Paris metro system a few days ago. Apparently, McDonald's chains in France have added a new dessert to the menu—a frappé, a Frenchisized version of a milkshake—and these advertisements have gone up all over Paris. Despite rising obesity rates in France, here's a clue as to why French people "don't get fat": while we're super-sizing portions in the U.S., McDonalds in France are super-smalling portions. (Seriously, I've seen shots of vodka that are bigger!) To make sure my eyes weren't fooling me with some whack Photoshop job, I browsed the McDonald's France website to find nutrition information for this frappé. (Which, I might add, proved to be extremely difficult. For a web-savvy person fluent in French, it took me over 10 minutes to find because this info must either be a) downloaded as a PDF format, or b) found on an entirely different website. Scandal! But I digress …)
The McDonald's frappé in France is served in a portion of 167 grams. The smallest sized milkshake in the United States clocks in at 332 grams.

Fíbín - Sétanta in the City
Monday 16 January at 7.30pm on RTÉ One
5 actors, 50 characters, suicide bombing, live wrestling and sex - this is the story of a lusty, time-travelling, violent, sex-mad Cú Chulainn as you've never seen it before.
'Sétanta' is a play written and directed by Paul Mercier which was produced and performed by the Fíbín Puppet and Theatre Company in early December. Fíbín are a small Gaeltacht-based company founded in 2003 by Darach Ó Tuairisg and Mícheál Ó Domhnaill. To date they have had 20 productions, most of which feature the extensive use of puppets.
Their latest play 'Sétanta' is different. It features five actors (three men and two women) but it contains 10 times as many characters. This is achieved through the clever use of nearly fifty masks that were specially commissioned for this play. Each of the actors had a cast made of their face and this in turn was used to make perfectly fitting personalised masks of the charaters they would each be playing. The play is technically multi-layered, featuring a dense mixture of sound effects, lighting, and a pulsating sound-track which drives the moving images projected onto a back screen which parallels the action on stage.
RTÉ were given exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Fíbín as they rehearsed their new play 'Sétanta' in a converted Nineteenth Century school in Connemara. Our cameras get up close and personal with the actors, producers and technicians as they work tirelessly to perfect Director Paul Mercier's vision. We also follow Fíbín to the Peacock Theatre in Dublin where they premiered Sétanta to a full house which included newly elected President Michael D. Higgins.
This programme offers a real insight into life behind the scenes in a hard-working Irish theatre company. After all of the creative tension involved in its creation as an on-stage drama, 'Sétanta' was a huge success and sold out the Peacock Theatre in early December.
In the meantime, Fíbín have received numerous offers from home and abroad to perform 'Sétanta' again. As the producer and co-founder of Fíbín says, they now hope for world domination!!! Cú Chulainn would be rightly proud!

London, June 9 (ANI): A US official has branded the two-day summit between President Barack Obama and Chinese leader Xi Jinping as 'positive' and 'constructive'.
The summit between the two leaders focused on issues of cyber security, economy, and environment, reports BBC.
Obama said that cyber security is 'uncharted waters', and warned Xi that cyber crimes could be an 'inhibitor' in US-China ties.
According to the report, US National security advisor, Tom Donilon said that Obama has described the type of problems faced by US from cyber-intrusion and theft of intellectual property.
The leaders jointly agreed that North Korea had to denuclearise and they would work together with dialogue and co-operation for it. They also agreed for the reduction of hydroflurocarbons- a potent greenhouse gas
On the economic aspect, US producers want China to raise the value of its currency, the remninbi, which would make Chinese goods more expensive for foreign buyers and possibly hold back exports.
The report further added that the summit was the first meeting between the two leaders after Xi became president in March. (ANI)

Do what you will with these three thoughts as it relates to Louisville's 49-7 emasculation of Ohio yesterday.
1. The announcers touched on the topic throughout the game, but Charlie Strong's guidance and dedication to the football program deserves all the praise it gets.
2. In-depth analysis proves Teddy Bridgewater is one hell of a football player, Jack. There were points in time – re: the whole game – when Teddy made things look so easy that it was difficult to decipher if we were watching a 7-on-7 drill or an actual game. His five touchdowns matched his number of incompletions. Through one week of the season, Teddy Bridgewater's expected run for the Heisman – the award he doesn't give a damn about is off to a rather decent start. And his team's 1-0. It's impossible to go undefeated without winning the first one.
2.5. Ed The Sports Fan is the person to follow on Twitter during Louisville games. I can't stress that enough. Not because he's fan of the Cardinals, but rather because he prays to his Keenan McCardell jersey every night the Jags land Bridgewater in the 2014 NFL Draft. #TankForTeddy lives on.
3. I totally forgot former Auburn tailback Michael Dwyer transferred there. As if Teddy B needed anymore help, his play action fakes will be the stuff of beauty.
Here's the flip side of the coin for Louisville. Their schedule is soft as baby sh*t. If the Cardinals fail run the table, consider this season a bust. That may sound harsh, but as of September 2, 2013, L'ville probably won't play a ranked opponent all year. Conference games are set in stone for the most part and Louisville's up and away the cream of the crop in in the AAC. So the decision not to schedule one or two tougher non-conference games is equal parts perplexing, frustrating and confusing.
While the 2013 season is the last of the BCS era, strength of schedule still factors into rankings. And if it boils down to Louisville receiving a national championship birth against a team with one loss whose S.O.S. trumps theirs, well, let's just say that's not totally out of the question.
Just ask Boise State.

As one of the three great tragedians of ancient Greece, along with Sophocles and Aischylos, Euripides is well-known to modern theatergoers through masterworks such as "Electra." From Aug. 26-Sept. 10, Theatre Project Tokyo will present one of Euripides' later — and lesser-known — works, "Bakxai," at its Benisan Pit theater in Tokyo.
Part of tpt's occasional program of staging European classics, the production turns the spotlight on some of the company's younger talent, transporting this 2,400-year-old drama into a contemporary tale of Tokyo life based on the story of Pentheus, the King of Thebes, and his hatred for Dionysius, the god of wine and revelry, whom Pentheus persecuted for his supposed corrupt influence on society. In revenge, Dionysius seduces all the women in Thebes, bringing the state to ruin.
Adapted by Hiromasa Kiuchi and directed by another of tpt's proteges, Hirotaka Kumabayashi, this cross-generational collaboration brings a fresh approach to Euripides' study of the fragility of a cultured society brought down by its leaders' overconfidence and intolerance. As a play it is ancient; as a subject matter it is as relevant now as it was then.
"Bakxai" runs from Aug. 26-Sept. 10 at the Benisan Pit Theatre, near Morishita Station on the Oedo and Toei Shinjuku subway lines. Tickets are 5,250 yen. For more info, visit www.tpt.co.jp

(CBS News) NEWTOWN, Conn. - Too many families in Newtown are preparing this evening to bury their loved ones.
For other families with students at sandy hook elementary, what happened Friday morning is a story of survival and sacrifice.
Diana Licatta: "Like any other day, we got them off to school and had holiday activities planned. At 9:45 we got a call of unconfirmed shooting."
Diana and Robert Licatta had two children inside Sandy Hook Elementary School
Diana said she "would drive by their school and see what's happening.""60 Minutes" reports: Tragedy in Newtown
Hundreds of bullets, multiple 30-round clips at Conn. school
Newtown, Conn., school staffers hailed as heroes
Their 6-year-old son is in first grade. His teacher was Vicky Soto. Known for her dedication to her students, Vicky had just turned 27.
"She was an absolutely amazing teacher," Diana said. "She loved what she did... so full of life and educating got her so excited and teaching those children is what she loved to do."
The Licatta's 7-year-old daughter is in the second grade. Her classroom is just down the hall from her brother's. (CBS News was asked not to reveal the childrens' names.)
"I saw my daughter's teacher and asked about my daughter and she said she didn't' know where she was because they...were separated," Diana said.
Then, suddenly, she spotted her daughter.
"She just said: 'Mommy what's happening?' and I said, 'Just stay with your class.' I waited for (my) son to come out, and he never came out," Diana said.
Her son later told his parents a remarkable story of the nightmare unfolding inside his classroom. When the shooting began inside Sandy Point Elementary, teacher Vicky Soto moved the children in the classroom against a wall, away from the door, and that's when she came face-to-face with the gunman.
Robert Licatta: "They heard the noises. Somehow was able to burst through door - that's when they witness his teacher be shot, and she fell to the ground. Ran right by the shooter right by the doorway. How they escaped...we'll never really know...how they escaped him."
The children got out, but the young teacher who had apparently shielded her students, was left dead.
Diana: "She is truly a hero. Very likely because of her that our son is with us today."

TWO unsung heroes of Marlow Rowing Club's phoenix like rise from the ashes have been hailed by the Mayor.
The fire hit club secured the critical £1m funding from Sport England to rebuild its clubhouse on March 15.
The announcement was made at a star-studded occasion featuring the club's Olympic and Paralympic medal winners.
But Mayor Jocelyn Towns feels the role of club chairman Peter Hunt and chief fundraiser Chris Lenton has been somewhat overshadowed.
She said the lottery funding which will go towards the £2m plus restoration was an amazing achievement.
She said: "We should sing the praises of Peter Hunt, whose leadership has been immense, and since the fire has operated on an almost full time basis, which as a volunteer is staggering. And Chris Lenton, the official fundraiser, whose focus has been entirely on influencing, lobbying and tirelessly working on raising this money. Their work and commitment to the club made this happen.
"Creating a Water Sports Hub enabled them to apply for the funding, which will be a great benefit for our Town and we really look forward to the new club being up and running."
She said it was also quite a feat for rowing to have continued despite the fire.

The German artist Katharina Grosse has fulfilled her dream of a tailor-made studio, a place large enough to accommodate her large-scale works and where an industrial atmosphere is combined with soft light and neutral walls. In close cooperation with the artist, the firm Augustin und Frank Architekten planned the studio in Berlin's Mitte neighborhood and completed it in 2007. The result is a compact reinforced concrete cube containing workrooms, storerooms, an archive, offices and living space.
The contributors to this publication use Grosse's studio as a springboard to explore the relationship between painting and architecture, and the role that studios play in the production of art. Numerous photographs show the raw architecture of the new building and the artist's appropriation of the space.
With contributions by Georg Augustin, Laura Bieger, Andreas Denk, Ulrich Loock and Philip Ursprung.

Another reason for my absence
PFC Trent had a girl friend. She started out fine but soon showed her real side. She had a 18 mo. old son and Trent would baby sit him while she was at work. Then after a few months she would be late coming home, so Lt.Linda and I would stay home and take care of the tike. Then one friday she got off from work at 10 pm and didn't come home until 1pm the next day. And she was drunk as a skunk. The arguments that followed ended up with Trent moving out and back home. A few months later she texed Trent and told him she was pregnant. And one day she would tell him it was his baby and then the next day it was some other guys baby. You can imagine what my son was going through. So Linda and I stepped in and cut off her calling Trent. finally she called Linda and told her that she was having pains and could she come over to the apartment and help her. Linda is a trained nurse and she went immediately. The girl was in labor and it was 4 months early. Linda took her to the hospital and the baby boy was born. alive and very small but a good chance of making it. He was a tough little guy and in a week had put on 1 lb and was nursing and wiggling and squirming. I talked to Trent and told him to find out from the County Social Services about proving paternity. He received a stack of papers in the mail and we made an appointment for him to have a DNA test with the baby. The test was over and we have a grandbaby named Jacob. By then the girl has been denying Trent visitation. An Attorney was the next plan and she was sent a letter explaining the fathers rights and her rights, I guess that scared her enough that Trent can have the baby now 4 days out of the week. He is gaining more weight and smiling now and looking around at you when you talk to him. And Linda has bought out a couple of stores of all their baby goods and formulas. LOL It is nice to have another son in the family. Many of you know that I lost my two sons and Trent is my last one. But know we have another little Avery to carry on our name. PS Duke has accepted Jacob as part of the family.
Congratulations on the grandson!
Congrats Sarge, sorry for everything you had to go through, but i'm glad it's working out now, hopefully the lady'll straighten out.
There's not much more joy in life than having grandchildren. Enjoy him.
My daughter had many, MANY hassles with the father of her child. We haven't seen or heard from him in 2 years..........and that's just fine with us. :( But we spent the first two years after my beautiful granddaughter was born in court at least every month, sometimes every week. The stress can bring one to one's knees, for sure.
Congats Sarge! I hope that your grandson will be what the girl needs to get her life in order.
congrats sarge and wish all you good luck! :D

HTC One X marks the spot as being AT&T's first Beats Audio and Sense 4.0 smartphone
Regarded as a multimedia juggernaut, the HTC One X for AT&T will be flaunting a mighty 4.7-inch 720p HD display with Gorilla Glass, which will be further enhanced thanks to its wide-viewing angles and its ability to connect it to a TV wire-free with the aid of an optional wireless HDMI adapter. Running the show from behind the scenes, its next-generation 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor (no quad-core folks) will be doing its best to keep things rolling along. Not surprisingly, it'll be flying through the air with its 4G LTE connectivity as well, but for those concerned about battery consumption, it's worth mentioning that it'll be carrying along an 1,800 mAh battery – so yeah, let's see how it'll handle all of that.
Aside from its muscle power, the HTC One X is also a very capable photo-taking smartphone, thanks to its 8-megapixel auto-focus camera that features an F2.0 lens and back illuminated sensor for better image quality in low lighting. Much like some of the other camera-centric smartphone from HTC we've seen, it's going to be filled to the brim with a healthy set of shooting modes to no doubt keep people amused, while catching the moment instantaneously thanks to its lightning fast operation. Also, 1080p HD video recording will be in tow along with slow motion recording at 60 frames per second.
Finally, the HTC One X is AT&T's first smartphone to offer Beats Audio built-in to the hardware and software – essentially giving it one of the richest audio experiences around. For those big into the whole audio scene, AT&T will start carrying exclusive Beats accessories this spring to accent this audio robust device. And of course, there's that new HTC Sense 4.0 experience on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which will no doubt bring some new enhancements and features to cement it as one of the premier customized Android experiences out there.
Are you teased yet? Well, you'll probably want to keep in the excitement because its pricing and release date have not been publicly announced, but at least we can keep in mind about spring bringing in better weather. Until then, let's cross our fingers!
Check out the new promotion video of the handset below.
**Updated #2**
From the looks of it, AT&T's version of the HTC One X is also known as the HTC One XL, which both feature 4G LTE connectivity and a dual-core processor. Meanwhile, the international version of the HTC One X, will offer HSPA+ 42Mbps speeds and a mighty 1.5GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. The video below is of the HTC One XL, or as some AT&T folks would say, is their version of the HTC One X.

except for god knows why they dropped the quad core for us…
3. yougotkilled1 (Posts: 167; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
YES! I was hoping at least one of HTC's major announced phones would make it to AT&T :D

Damn im on sprint :(
5. biophone (Posts: 1994; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
So it does have LTE. This doesn't look good as far as battery goes.
6. ra830369 (Posts: 3; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
But the video says it is quad core, so it is or it isnt?
9. imkyle (Posts: 1087; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
i was just lookimg at the video and this should be a quad core, but than i thought lte isnt ready for the quad core. the unlocked version may be quad core but the carriers will get the dual core.
10. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
gsm version is quad but the at&t version is dual core s4 as it supports lte where as the tegra 3 doesnt..it would be silly for anyone to release a flagship device in the US that has not got lte
11. imkyle (Posts: 1087; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
Agree that lte should be standard in 2012.
15. amircajlani (Posts: 5; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
it is
7. kevinvl96 (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
gsmarena.com says the phone has a tegra 3 quad-core, and the video says quad-core too, so whats up PA?

14. Chronos (Posts: 258; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Well, at least it's better to have a dual-core Snapdragon processor rather than having nothing.
16. imkyle (Posts: 1087; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I'd be curious to see the performance vs the quad core.
17. tlsmithsr (Posts: 81; Member since: 28 Sep 2010)
Only if Tmobile was getting it
18. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
why not verizon?
19. bayhuy (Posts: 320; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
Yes! I'm so happy I live in Europe and the carriers here will offer both X with T3 and S with S4...because we don't have LTE...
20. pistolashtc (Posts: 29; Member since: 28 Dec 2010)
Glad im living in Portugal!
22. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i dont get why Tmobile didnt pick up the T3 version of the One since its capable of 42mb/s HSPA+, instead of just the dual core crapdragon. Way to miss an opportunity to outshine the competition. Coulda been the first american quad core.
23. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
This is b.s. AT&T gets dual core while Europe gets TEGRA 3 QUAD CORE? The only two things I'm disappointing bout this model no SD CARD SUPPOR or TEGRA 3 for the U.S. versoin. I'll pass I'll be getting my SONY iON instead.
24. redrooster13 (Posts: 110; Member since: 20 Feb 2012)
SO much potential....BUT they choose to FAIL. Small non removable battery, no micro sd card slot, and lcd screen. Who ever buys this phone is telling htc that all this is ok. Vote with your wallet folks, dont sacrifice.

And Anna, well she talks more than the rest of us combined. The other night she was hollering something from her room, well past bedtime. I went in and she said "Where'd Hopey go?" Then I looked at Hope's bed and she was fast asleep. Anna, I guess, was not done talking to her.
And Phoebe - well I know babyhood goes by way too fast so I'm trying to stare at her as much as possible. I think I'm succeeding. She's already got some chunky legs going on, and she is SMILING at us more and more. We all love it. I love her fuzzy head and I've affectionately given her the nickname - Phoebe Fuzzy Head.
Here are some recent pictures.
We went to some friends' house who live on a parade route. It was awesome. The big girls loved it and collected an insane amount of candy.
Phoebe at an outdoor concert we went too. We thought it was going to be patriotic, but it turned out to be Big Band music. Which was fine. Several of the old people got up and danced during the songs which was sweet. Anna got up and danced, too.
Auntie Rah-rah came to visit! It was fun. She rocked Phoebe a lot, took the girls shopping and to Starbucks, we got to talk a lot -about wedding planning and such. I can't believe she's getting MARRIED!!! It was fun.
Rah-rah and Phoebe on the day they met. We picked her up from the airport and went to an Andrew Peterson concert in Wisconsin.
These are all of the fallen trees/limbs on the side of the road across the street from us. We had a very bad thunderstorm on Monday morning that shut off our power for 5 whole days! It was an adventuresome week. We were so thankful to God that it wasn't very hot last week! By Thursday early morning we had a friends' generator up and running so that our refrigerator could be running and we could have a lamp on at night. The girls thought it was fun to shower in the dark.

What's the scoop?
We (Folk/ARPS) have invited our comrades from LDDK and CiA to come over and help us shoot people.
What are LDDK and CiA?
The illustrious LDD Kyllikki (LDDK) is an OFP/ArmAx group that has been around for a very long time indeed. Over 10 years, in fact! The folks at CiA have been running sessions for almost as long.
What are the people from LDDK and CiA like?
Lovely. We've had many joint sessions with them in the past, and greatly enjoyed shooting each other in the face. Here are some AAR threads from the more recent joint sessions:
- [Sun] 04 December 2011 (with LDDK and CiA)

The deal, which includes 25,000 square metres spread across four buildings at Hemmant, near the Port of Brisbane, was struck on a yield of about 8.5 per cent.
The asset will go into the DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund, which has been active this year, splashing out $34.35 million for a 43,000 square metre industrial facility at Ingleburn, NSW, in July.
DWPF fund manager Graham Pearson said at the time of the Ingleburn purchase that the fund had an industrial property strategy of building a high quality diversified portfolio located in key markets across the eastern seaboard.
DEXUS has declined to comment on the Hemmant purchase.
The vendor, Hackbridge, was made up of two business partners, including Pars Ram Punj, who runs Pars Ram Brothers – one of Australia's largest consumer foods exporters with 22 per cent of Australia's chickpea industry.
The deal was negotiated by Knight Frank's Greg Russell, who was unavailable for comment.
The Hemmant asset includes a 15,930 square metre facility leased to Electrolux for another seven years.
Another building is at present leased to the state Department of Planning's Q-Build, while another 2000 square metre building is leased to Euroglass. The fourth building covers six industrial strata units.
The deal is the biggest in Brisbane since GPT Group acquired a two-stage development in Berrinba worth about $80 million leased to Toll's company NQX.

text: James Dennin, Kapitall: Publicly traded funds are buying up rental properties like hotcakes. We found 5 of the big players. One of the ways many financial firms were able to make so much money in the years leading up to the financial crisis was through mortgage-backed securities (MBS). While a lot of people know that these kinds of investments were implicated in the financial crisis, not a lot of people know exactly what they are. [Read more about housing from Kapitall: 6 Real Estate Development Stocks With High Debt] At face level, it's not that complicated. First, a financial firm buys up a mortgage on someone's home as an investment. Rather than collect the payments and interest directly from the homeowner, they bundle that mortgage several others, and sell shares in the bundle to individual or institutional investors (bear with me here). If the mortgage isn't sub-prime, the financial middleman can take advantage of flexible financing offered to multi-billion dollar lenders who are very unlikely to default – and the investor can enjoy returns off of interest payments from dozens (if not hundreds, or thousands) of happy homeowners. This system worked well for a while - until the housing crisis happened. The money was so good, banks started chasing mortgages that were worse and worse so they could sell more MBS. Too many sub-prime loans found their way onto the balance sheets of major financial institutions, who eventually realized they wouldn't have enough capital to cover the losses if homeowners began to default. Once confidence in the system was shaken, the dominos started to fall. As people defaulted on loans they probably couldn't afford in the first place, they moved out of their homes. The empty houses depressed property values of entire neighborhoods. Soon, it started to make sense for homeowners to default, rather than keep paying interest on a mortgage that was worth twice the value of their home (now on an empty block).

In the late '50s through the '60s, drag racing was in many ways a regional sport. From the mid/southwest roared the Top Fuelers of Bob Creitz, Jimmy Nix, Bobby Langley, Vance Hunt, Lou Cangalose and from Kansas City, Kansas, Bob Sullivan.
Bob, with wife Shirley by his side, terrorized the region and frequently beyond, especially in AHRA competition, with a series of nitro diggers. All were beautifully constructed and finished in gorgeous candy burgundy and gold leaf, featuring their little devil character and aptly named Pandemonium.
By late '64 Sullivan "crystal balled" the sport and visualized a major shift, well ahead of his Top Fuel brethren: Detroit factory-bodied race cars powered by blown and injected nitro-burning engines. He purchased a stock '65 Plymouth Barracuda, and with the help of friend Ralph Suman and to some degree noted race car builder Rod Stuckey, modified it to accept the 392 Chrysler Hemi from his Top Fueler. The stock 106-inch wheelbase, 3,700-pound steel-bodied racer looked amazingly "stock" save for the Enderle injector hat bulging from the hood and long traction bars. Reports of the day state the headlights, turn indicators and windshield wipers were still functional. At Indy in '65, running as a B/FD on 100% nitro and direct drive, it brought the fans to their feet, blazing the slicks for a full quarter mile. By the end of the year, he was regularly reeling off 9.70s at over 160 mph.
The stubby wheelbase was quite a handful, so for '66 the car was lengthened 18 inches and fitted with a fiberglass front end and doors. The modifications sliced the weight to 3,195 pounds and fitted it with a TorqueFlite transmission, elevated performance to a best of 9.43 at 177 mph. With no official Funny Car class, Sullivan wreaked havoc on the "run whatcha brung" match race circuit. But with Funny Car technology advancing at light speed, in 1967 the Sullivans built a flip-top fiberglass Camaro roadster and eventually the Barracuda went down the road and into oblivion.
In 2000, automobile aficionado Greg Sullivan (no relation to Bob and Shirley) stumbled upon a "for sale" ad in Hemmings Motor News for Pandemonium V. As a kid, Greg formed an instant attachment to the race car after seeing its photos in a drag race magazine. Of course the shared surname welded the connection! He contacted the seller and a deal was quickly consummated.
Sullivan commissioned Hansen Race Cars in Montclair, California, for the restoration, but with a hitch. Being the hardcore car guy he is, Sullivan frequents England's annual Goodwood Festival of Speed where vintage race cars, some worth millions, are raced and occasionally wrecked. He wanted Pandemonium V to return to its roaring glory days, not collect dust as a museum piece. To that goal, he saw to the installation of a modern full roll cage and the suspension was modified with safety in mind, though the long original ladder bars were left in place, as a nod to the original configuration. For performance and reliability, fabled engine whiz Gene Adams recommended a 572-ci TFX aluminum block with Indy Hemi heads, a Kuhl blower and MSD ignition; basically a snappy alcohol motor that can take a nip of nitro upon occasion. A Hughes two-speed Powerglide replaced the Torqueflite. Hemi Under Glass pilot Bob Riggle, whom Sullivan had assisted on one of his trips to the Goodwood Festival, helped complete the finishing touches and provided tuning advice.
With the Pandemonium up and running, a driver capable of getting this ill-handling beast down the track and returning in one piece, was needed. Fortuitously through mutual friends, Dave and Linda Adler, owners of Pantera International, an organization for owners of De Tomoso Pantera sports cars, he connected with Big Show Funny Car shoe Cory Lee. Cory had established a reputation as not only a first rate driver, his first ride coming with Tom Hoover's Pioneer-sponsored flopper, but also a clutch artist and tuner. Prior to piloting, he'd plied his talents with the likes of Ed McCulloch, John Force, Del Worsham and Hoover just to name a few. Lee is the perfect fit, not only does he have the skills (and huevos) to pilot the beast, he's a true student of drag racing, fully understanding the historical significance of Pandemonium V. With its high center of gravity and short wheelbase, Lee describes the driving experience as "more like piloting a boat on choppy seas. You sit high, in a big open cockpit, not tight and low as in a modern ride. It's quite an experience to be able to step back in time and drive one of the first Funny Cars."
From 2005, through '07 Sullivan and Lee with the assist of Jerry Gibson, Dan Messner and Don McReynolds unleashing Pandemonium at select events from coast to coast, thrilling fans at every stop. At the '07 Bakersfield March Meet, the lads bumped the nitro load to over 10%, sending Cory on an epic ride to the tune of 8.60/175mph—its final pass. You see, Greg Sullivan is a very busy guy in the aerospace industry and unfortunately at times, business trumps racing, so for now the beast is at rest. But he's always open to the possibility to once again unleashing PANDEMONIUM!
The history of the evolution of Funny Cars is murky, but those well-schooled in the subject all agree that Bob and Shirley Sullivan's Barracuda played a highly significant role in the development of the class. All those who love drag racing owe Greg Sullivan a debt of gratitude for returning Pandemonium V to life.
Thanks to Greg Sullivan and all involved, Pandemonium V is alive and well, once again rattling the troops.
Indy Nats '65, with F/C Eliminator still years away, Sullivan pairs off against another B/FD!
The Rod Stuckey installed straight axle has been replaced with something more appropriate for high speed runs.

The original 392 Hemi has been replaced by a 572-ci TFX aluminum block and Indy cylinder Hemi heads.
Bob and wife/crew chief Shirley prepare the 392 nitro Hemi for another blast.
Big Show (now Nostalgia F/C) driver Cory Lee's habitat is a far cry from modern floppers. Major changes were made for the sake of safety.
Hansen Race Cars of Montclair, CA, handled the restoration, but updated suspension for safety and to accept the new infusion of power.
Several years ago, the Cragar Wheel folks gave thought to a series of special race events to be held in covered venues. Greg Sullivan had a relationship with Cragar and did some preliminary testing. This was at the Phoenix fairgrounds.
