On Mother's Day this year, my sister got to come to town and bring her whole crew with her which meant that all 5 of our nieces and nephews on my side of the family, were here at the same time! They are ages 5, 4, 2, 10 months and 5 months. As you can imagine, the attempted photo shoot was a little bananas! Haha! Picture 3 littles and 2 babies on a blanket outside, with 9 grown ups standing in front of them, trying to get them to look at the camera at the same time, and maybe even smile! :) I'm pretty sure that's a bit of a pipe dream! Haha! Sorry about the dappled lighting...it was driving me a bit crazy!
Here are a few of the "better" shots of the day! :)
Side note: Baby Benjamin was hilarious! That baby smiled the ENTIRE time! You pretty much just have to look at him and he'll smile for you, which of course, makes you feel completely awesome.
So at this point, Gracie (Benjamin's mama) pulled him out of the shot so that we could take some pictures of just the 4 siblings, and he got tickled watching the kids on the blanket and he flat out belly-laughed for maybe 5 minutes straight!!! Which as you can imagine, had all of the adults laughing our heads off at him laughing his head off! None of us have heard him laugh that hard or that much or that long, so it was awesome!
(Above, that's my parents on the left, my sister Grace and Benjamin in the middle and my sister Diann (the other 4 littles' mama) on the right.)
Here's Lainey bear. :)
And Miss Zo-Zo (Zoey)...
And little miss Ally, who looks way too grown up here. :)
And of course, Mr. Smiley Pants....who also sticks his tongue out a LOT these days! Haha!
What a crazy but fun afternoon! My hat's off to you professional photographers out there! Trying to get 5 little people to look at the camera and smile at the same time is no easy fete!

The 'Thor: The Dark World' actor is reportedly eyed to headline a remake of buddy cop movie originally starring Mel Gibson.
Chris Hemsworth is allegedly courted to star in Warner Bros.' remake of classic buddy cop actioner "Lethal Weapon". The Tracking Board learns that the James Hunt depicter in "Rush" is offered a key role in the upcoming project.
The original film followed a mismatched pair of L.A.P.D. detectives played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, while the revamped version is expected to focus on the desires of an older cop's (possibly Rigg's) son and his wishes to join the police force.
By putting the focus on a younger generation of the cops, it certainly gives a room for the original cast to make a cameo if they are up for it. Will Beall ("Gangster Squad") pens the script, with the original screenwriter Shane Black reportedly having input into it.
Justin Lin who is currently attached to "Bourne 5" is expected to sit behind the lens for this remake. No release date has been announced.

Rasib, Abd. Wahid and Ibrahim, Ab. Latif and Fandi, Mohd. Azahari and Wan Kadir, Wan Hazli (2007) Mapping net primary production in tropical rain forest using MODIS satellite data. In: The 28th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing 2007, 12-16 November 2007, PWTC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Restricted to Repository staff only
Data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have been used widely to map global scale net primary production (NPP) since its first launch in 1999. Over the years, on-ground flux tower measurements using the eddy covariance method have been used to validate the global MODIS NPP at a number of test sites. However, until now MODIS satellite data have not been adequately tested to map local NPP despite the use of field flux tower measurements for validation. This is due to the low spatial resolution (1 km x 1 km) of MODIS satellite data and the variability of NPP with locations. Therefore, in this present study micrometeorological approach referred to the Monteith's equation is then used to map local scale NPP in tropical rain forest. Three types of MODIS satellite data band which are visible band, near infra-red band, ocean bands (band 11 and band 12) have been utilized to the micrometeorological model. The result shows that the estimated values for distribution of NPP for the whole Peninsular Malaysia and local scale Pasoh Forest Reserve were 804.37 gCm2y-1 and 633.85 gC m2 y-1, respectively in year 2004.

Step 1: For this DIY you will need a tall glass cylinder vase, floral foam cylinder or sphere, silk hydrangeas, faux baby's breath, preserved roses and greenery, plastic stems, glue gun, and wire cutters.
Step 2: Line the top of your glass cylinder with hot glue and press the foam down on top firmly.
Step 3: Trim the stems to size any unwanted greenery off of your hydrangeas. You can hot glue the ends for extra hold or just place the stems directly into the floral foam. Start at the center and work your way around creating a sphere shape.
Step 4: Next you will use the hot glue to adhere the preserved roses onto the plastic stems.
Step 5: Once your preserved rose stems are dry begin inserting them into the floral foam, filling any gaps you might find in the hydrangeas.
Step 6: Trim your faux baby's breath and add them into the floral sphere.

THE MP for North East Hampshire has formally presented a petition about planning to the House of Commons.
James Arbuthnot MP presented the petition on Monday. It had been signed by more than 250 people in Hook and Rotherwick, and calls on the Government to effectively give more power to councils without a planning blueprint.
The action follows a public meeting held in Hook in March, during which villagers expressed their anger about plans to build more than 500 homes to the north east of the village.
The meeting heard that Hart District Council, the planning authority, has limited powers to refuse development after the Planning Inspectorate rejec-ted its Local Plan – the blueprint for new development in the village.
The petition calls on the Government to allow councils to refuse planning applications before a Local Plan is in place.
Hook ward councillors Brian Burchfield, Mike Morris and Jonathan Glen, who handed the petition to Mr Arbuthnot, said: "We want to ensure that any new development is not only phased, but comes with real infrastructure improvements.
"To do this, we need a Local Plan in place and we need the Planning Inspectorate to reject premature development."
But Dermot Smith, of the Hook Action Against Over-development campaign group, said he did not think the petition will have much effect.
He said: "It might be different if it had been written by a group of MPs. I can't imagine that a petition in the name of three local councillors in a ward in the Home Counties is going to do anything."
Mr Smith added that the group had been chasing the councillors about the petition since the meeting, where it was raised.

One of the interesting things about my job is that I get to talk to many people from a lot of different companies. Some of these conversations will turn into Test Center reviews; many won't. It dawned on me that I was being selfish in not sharing more of the conversations with readers, so I've made a nearly-mid-year resolution to do a lot more blogging based on the conversations I have.
One of my recent conversations with with Numara Software, a company that focuses on help desk software for the SMB market. They define SMB pretty broadly, saying that it includes any organization with 5 to 10,000 users. To meet the needs of this rather large market, the company has two core products, Track-It and Footprints. Track-It is positioned to serve companies from 50 – 5,000 users, with Footprints aimed at those with from 5,000 to 50,000 users. Tony Thomas, a product manager with the company, told me that both products center around five rules -- some quite predictable for any vendor approaching the SMB market, others looking like a real difference for Numara. Here's Tony's list, with my comments:
1. Give customer more for less, more flexibility and functionality for a smaller purchase price. This one is an "it goes without saying" sort of thing for a company that wants to play in the SMB space. It doesn't really matter how good the "value proposition" of a product is: If an SMB customer can't afford to write the check to start the installation, no amount of value is going to make any difference. I've seen too many companies (especially those that start out in the large enterprise space) lose sight of this basic fact.
2. Provide flexible products, since most customers are constrained from a resource standpoint. SMB customers aren't all that different from enterprise customers in the features they want -- they're very different in the resources they can devote to deploying technology to attain those features. I've had several conversations in the last few days with vendors who talk about SMB customers sharing the trait of very limited IT staff resources -- often down to the point of not having even a single dedicated IT staff member. Creating a product that can be rolled out (and supported) by a single IT generalist, or even by a contract resource, makes a great deal of sense for the SMB market.
3. Provide a series of feature and functions that help uncover assets, problems, etc. This rule gets to the point of helping customers know what they don't know. OK, here's one that is important, especially for organizations on the smaller end of the SMB scale. Often, a truly small company doesn't have sufficient expertise to understand just how much they don't know about their operations and infrastructure components. Systems that are active in discovering system configurations and parameters, and then quite logical in how they display the information, can make a real difference in the operations of an SMB organization. The trick is to help an IT staff member who's serving as chief cook and bottle washer figure out which information is important, and why, without getting bogged down in tutorials or excessive detail.
4. Self-help. This is quite cost-effective for most companies of any size. You want to give users the means to help themselves, from resetting passwords to one-click installs, to central help files. This reduces time and knowledge requirements for technicians. Simply put, the more you can help users avoid calling on an IT staff resource, the more cost-effective the solution is going to be.
5. Be proactive. Help organization anticipate issues and plan for them. Vista is the most recent example of a technology that organizations are beginning to plan for -- many organizations will gratefully accept any assistance a system can offer in figuring out how to transition from one generation of technology to another.
Domestically, Numara sells through a direct channel. I found this quite interesting, since most vendors depend on an indirect channel -- a network of resellers and consultants -- to sell their products into the SMB space Numara has a professional services group that's responsible for installation and configuration, training, and best-practices work, and it's with this group that the responsibility for helping customers make the software fit their way of doing business lies. Thomas told me that the majority of Numara's customers are in the smaller segment of the SMB space, but the product is moving a little up-scale. The reason given for that shift was interesting:
When Numara started in 1991, Thomas said, it penetrated the smaller companies in the space and stayed there. Today, the majority of their business comes from companies with 5,000 or fewer users. Now, though, budgets are shrinking for companies of all sizes, so larger companies are looking downstream, to products from vendors like Numara, rather than at products from traditional enterprise players like Tivoli or CA. Based on what Thomas said, it's a simple case of enterprise IT managers looking at the lower acquisition cost of software intended for the SMB space and deciding to see whether the product will scale to lots of users. This kind of market-merging will, I think, make it more likely that segments will increasingly be defined by pricing and licensing models, and by the type of sales team that calls on the customer, rather than the absolute number of features offered. Enterprises win with lower purchase prices, and SMBs win because the features traditionally found in enterprise products will keep migrating down-market.
I asked Thomas about the seductive quality of these larger customers knocking on Numara's door, and whether the company would look to move of of its business to the larger companies. He told me that it's easy to be enticed by the large accounts, but that if the "S" starts moving out of the SMB, the company will need to take a look at what they're doing. He said that Numara had decided to expand into the larger customer space by acquisition, rather than refocusing. He said that they bought Footprints so they could fulfill the needs of the large companies without forgetting the smaller firms. He pointed to a market dynamic that's seeing the larger firms fighting to move down into the smaller customer space, with the result that the upper end of the SMB market is becoming more and more competitive. Numara, Thomas said, is trying to stay focused "on the very small end where there's less blood in the water."
I thought it was an interesting conversation with fascinating comments on the market and one vendor's approach to success with smaller companies. I especially liked the very solid logic behind a continued focus on the smaller end of the SMB market. It's a segment that, I think, is going to do nothing but heat up over the next couple of years. From an IT perspective, it's a great time to be a small business.

U.S. total feed grain supplies for 2010/11, projected at 380.3 million metric tons, are unchanged from last month but down 17.5 million from last year. Food, seed, and, industrial use is increased by 1.8 million tons this month to 168.2 million, all due to increases in corn use.
Feed and residual use is unchanged this month. On a September-August marketing year basis for 2010/11, feed and residual use for the four feed grains plus wheat is projected to total 142.6 million tons, up 1.6 million from 2009/10.
The projected index of grain consuming animal units (GCAU) in 2010/11 is 93.1 million units, up slightly from last month and up from 91.7 million units in 2009/10. Of the index components, the increase in GCAUs is primarily due to an increase in cattle on feed. Cattle placements during December were large and will result in higher-than-previously forecast slaughter in mid-2011. Feed and residual per GCAU in 2010/11 is estimated at 1.53 tons. Feed and residual per GCAU has been trending downward over time, especially the last few years as rising domestic use of distillers' dried grains and corn gluten feed have helped offset declines in grain feeding. High corn prices in recent years have also likely reduced the "residual" component of the feed and residual category.
The annual cattle inventory was released since the last Feed Outlook report. Cows and heifers that have calved on January 1, 2011, were down 1 percent from the previous year, and replacement heifers were down as well. This is the lowest January 1 inventory of all cattle and calves since 1958. Recalculated roughageconsuming animal units (RCAU) in 2010/11 are projected at 69.02 million units, down 1.9 percent from 2009/10. December 1 hay stocks per RCAU are estimated at 1.48 tons, up slightly from last month but down from 1.53 tons a year earlier.

Good traction...
By: Ambitious_Sloth
Wearing these, I am amazed at how useful it is to have on a pair of shoes that not only look great, but make walking on uneven terrain incredibly easy. The shoes look a little awkward with a chunky sole, but always consider function over form or aesthetics. The Danner shoes aren't extremely comfortable, but they'll get the job done, just be wary of extended periods of time when wearing these. They are a bit pricey, but their solid construction makes up for it.

Comfortable, but not slip resistent...

Work in a kitchen with quarry tiles and when the floor was wet from just mopping it, there was no traction, felt like I was on ice. This can cause a person to slip and fall.These Dunham shoes were very comfortable. Working Person has been great with the exchange.

Very Durable Shoe...
By: Walker
I have worn the 8000 model for the last 7-8 years. I just ordered my next pair. They have been consistent in comfort and durability. The Dunham/New Balance high end line, Tru-trak, ABZORB, was recommended to me by a foot doctor for extra support for my feet. They have not let me down. One person mentioned the slippery soles when walking on wet tile floors, they are correct. Fortunately for me that is rare, and I am aware that the soles can loose traction on some wet floors so I proceed with caution when I see the "Wet Floor" signs. I am amazed at how well the shoes hold up. I wear them every day, all day, for every purpose. I will usually go through 3-4 sets of shoe laces, 18-24 months, before the shoes need to be retired. When they look shabby a little polish brings them back to life. I am very pleased with Dunham and highly recommend them.

A good renovation will make your house looks like a new one. Unfortunately, it requires a great cost. It's not as much as building house, of course. However, unpredictable damages or repairs definitely cause you much more money than you expected. How to deal with this problem?
Determine the renovation concept carefully
In this phase, determine which part of the house you want to repair. Decide also the design to get good result. Or, determine whether you want to use the old material or change it with the new one. If you want to use the old material, open it carefully to avoid damage. If the result doesn't suit the concept, you must reopen it and you will waste more money. Determining concept will help the renovation get done quickly.
Determine the material and its quality
If you have limited budget for renovation, you may use the ready stock or middle quality material. The middle quality material can be used as the floor ceramic, woods, window or door frame, or interior paint. While the good quality material is used as in foundation, planted pipe, building structure, roof construction, and exterior paint.
Omit one part renovation work
You don't have to renovate all part of the house. For example, the wall without plaster, or painting without putty. These all can save the time and money for another renovation project.
Choose the right payment method
There are two methods of payments to your workers: contract or daily. If you have known what you will renovate and you have designed the concept, you better apply contract system. But, if you don't have renovation concept, you can pay daily, because you will need the progress day by day.
Do at the right time
I suggest, don't renovate your house in rainy season or winter/fall. Because, your workers will face some difficulties. Besides, the exterior part will be hard to dry, or even damage.
Voila! Happy plan and do the renovation now!

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Welcome to Just Answer, I will do my best to help you solve your problem
If you have replaced the thermopile and it is positioned properly and the connection to the gas control valve is tight then you may have a faulty gas control valve. Only the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the thermopile should be in the pilot flame.
I replaced the thermocouple not the thermopile. I was under the impression that it is the thermocouple that keeps the pilot lit.
Are there 2 wires coming from your thermocouple?
no there is one copper line coming from the thermocouple
looks similar to this
Ok, then it's a thermocouple. Same answer applies whether it's a thermopile or thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the pilot flame and generates a very small electrical current that tell the gas control valve that the pilot is lit. If you have replaced the thermocouple and the pilot still goes out when you release the pilot light button then the most likely explanation is that the gas control valve is faulty.
Please read the above answer. I know what a thermocouple looks like
thanks. Just wanted to make sure I was explaining it correctly
Do you have a link on how to replace the gas control valve and/or where to buy one?
There are no links on replacing the gas valve since it is a job for a qualified gas service tech. Replacing the thermocouple is something a talented DIYer could handle. Replacing a gas valve not so much.
thank you

Actor Ryan Gosling turns down as many movie jobs as possible, insisting he "feels sick" when he sees himself on the big screen. Two of Gosling's latest films - "Blue Valentine" and "All Good Things" - will hit theaters in the U.S. this month and the simultaneous releases have left him with a sense of dread.
He tells the Los Angeles Times, "I try not to make too many movies. I get sick of myself, so I can imagine how everyone else feels. And for the two to come out at the same time, it makes me feel sick." But "The Notebook" star admits he can't stop himself from acting - although he doesn't quite understand his passion for performing.
Gosling adds, "I don't really like doing interviews because I don't have any answers about why I act. It's like a compulsion. It's (similar to) people who eat and eat and eat and they don't know why and they keep getting fatter but they can't stop. It's like that... And then you find yourself on a set throwing yourself off a bridge, and you're asking yourself, 'Why am I doing this?' And I don't know."

Cheap smellingI received a sample of this with my Sephora order and I wasn't impressed with this scent at all. I wore it out with dinner with friends and I didn't like how much this fragrance reminded me of a cheap dollar store cologne.

Dillard's Garden Room Dutch Potato Soup(Copycat)
Recipe by Sharon123
The Dillard House is a popular family restaurant in northern Georgia. I used to live near there. Here is a recipe for their potato soup, which I have changed only using vegetaable stock for the original beef stock. Feel free to use the beef stock if you prefer.
Top Review by Crafty Lady 13
This soup was easy and delicious. I made as directed with the exception of subbing chicken stock for the vegetable stock and replacing 2 cups of the stock with fat free milk to make it more of a cream of potato soup. I thought the consistency of the thickened broth was perfect. I took a large container of the soup over to my in-laws, and they said to give it 10 stars. Made for December 2011 Aus/NZ Swap.

My husband wants to go scuba diving on our next cruise. He plans to bring his 'personal items' such as mask, snorkel, fins and boots......my question is, is this common for people to bring their own or do the excursions provide stuff like that?
Perfectly normal, both my hubby and I bring our masks, tubes, and snorkel vests. My husband brings his fins, I just use what is on the excursion, they're such a pain to lug around. The excursions provide gear, but it's nice to have your own equipment, if you have room to pack it. Have a wonderful cruise!
Yup, we bring all our own snorkeling gear (for our family of 4). But we have only done that for the cruises we drive to. I might think twice about lugging it along on an airplane. The excursions will provide gear.
Same goes for the golf equipement. I'd like to go golfing, but I don't want the hassle of bringing my clubs. They will "rent them" to you, and some of the excursions, golf equipment is included in the price. I don't like to play with unfamiliar equipement so I haven't tried that yet.
Hi Mandi,
A lot depends on how serious you are about the sport. I have very large feet, my wife has very small feet so we carry our fins and booties. If you have a very large or small face, prescription lens or any other special needs you might want to carry your own mask as well.
The snorkel is mandatory. For one reason it goes in your mouth.
Two I don't trust the disinfectant the dive operators use.
Thirdly, once you get used a particular size snorkel it is very hard to get use to a different one.
Many dive operators require you to wear a vest while on their boat. If you are not of normal size you may want to consider bringing your own, otherwise I would use the dive operators vest.
Hope this helps.
For scuba diving one needs more than a snorkel. In fact, most divers today do not use a snorkel.
I can not imaging traveling to dive and not bringing my own BC, regulator, etc. Yes, divers do bring their own gear on cruises.
Also, it is much more cost effective to book your diving directly with the dive operator. The cruise ships often charge a 100% mark up - so I hear. I know the cruise ships claim that they will not wait for you if you are delayed unless you book through the cruise line. An experienced diver knows that delays are unlikely.
Bring your own gear. Also, if your husband is an active diver he is probably aware that dive operators treat cruise ship folks differently - they assume that you are a rookie and impose all of the restrictions of a beginner. The dive sites that are available to the cruise ship crowd are most often limited to beginner's sites (a liability issue since, in fact, cruise passengers tend to be much less experienced - I will personally attest to this!) The destinations of the cruise ships inherantly are not the best dive locations anyway due to the tourism infrastructure destroying the reefs.
PS - as a cruise ship diver expect to be placed on, what we call, cattle boats. There may be 50-80 divers on a boat all dumped in the ocean at the same time. Don't expect to be able to get on the 6-pack boats - being a cruise ship passeneger, the dive op will not trust you unless you have an established relationship with them.
Hi Mandi,
I am glad to hear that he has made the decision to get a certification before traveling. Many folks make the mistake of taking resort courses.
Obviously getting some experience is better than none. As I said, unfortunately most of the cruise ship destinations are not really the best dive locations due to the poor reef conditions. Even if there is decent diving in the locale, cruise ship passengers will almost never get there as the dive operators actually triage cruisers differently. After having the good fortune of diving many of the pristine reefs and oceans of the world, most of the locations which a cruise ship diver will see would make me cry. The coral is broken up, bleeched or dead - the marine life sparce - many people see a few pretty fish and think that's what diving is all about.
If your husband wants to experience good diving, he will have to look elsewhere in a different venue. In many respects, froom a selfish standpoint I am grateful that few people really take up diving - I would hate to see the cruise ship mobs all over my reefs. On the other hand, those who (Pay And Dive Instantly) and hang out with 80 people on a barren reef come to think that there is really nothing out there anyway - whats wrong with building another cruise ship terminal.
Lastly, be smart...don't let him do his checkout dives while on the cruise ship. This is a BIG BIG waste of money. While I hate the quarry too...it is not that bad.
Spend the cash on something else...don't pay to be spiffed.

Have you ever seen those people at the grocery store talking on their cellphones the entire time they are shopping and even during checkout? They are not only rude but also may be overspending on their purchase.
A recent study found that texting and talking on a cellphone while simply walking results in walking errors and may interfere with memory recall. "We were surprised to find that talking and texting on a cellphone were so disruptive to one's gait and memory recall of the target location," says co-author Eric M. Lamberg, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, School of Health Technology and Management, Stony Brook University.
We can all attest to the distracting effects of cellphone use on driving, too, so I wondered if the same holds true with smart shopping. I called up savings expert Andrea Woroch to ask her if talking and texting on a cellphone is distracting while shopping, too.
"When you are talking or texting on your cellphone, you are much more likely to overlook coupons, misread or miss sale signs entirely, stray from your list and ultimately make poor purchasing decisions, all of which lead to overspending. Scouting out deals and shopping with coupons with the intention of limiting what you spend takes your full attention," she says.
Woroch also said the only time you should be on your cell while shopping is if you are using it to save money with a coupon app, a price comparison app such as RedLaser or checking in on FourSquare or other savings and deal sites. "Otherwise gossiping, chitchatting or simply making plans, whether texting or talking, will ultimately distract you and lead to busting your shopping budget," she says.
Have you ever talked on your cell while shopping and found that you overspent?

Samsung sees DDR in PCs by next spring--sooner than expected
Post a comment
SAN JOSE -- U.S.-based officials with Samsung Semiconductor Inc. here said the Korean chip company will ship Double Data Rate SDRAMs to desktop PC maker sooner than expected now that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has cleared Samsung's DDR modules to work with the AMD-760 PC chip set.
Five Samsung modules, ranging in density from 64 to 256 megabytes, were validated by AMD at the full 266-MHz rate, according to Mueez Deen, director of DRAM marketing for Samsung in San Jose. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD also validated 256-Mbyte modules from Infineon Technologies and NEC Electroincs, rated for 266- and 200-MHz, respectively.
Samsung has already begun shipping the modules into high-end servers, but the PC space was held up awaiting a compatible chipset. "This opens the door for PC OEMs to start incorporating DDR designs into their plans as they go into the spring 'refresh' season," Deen said.
DDR is expected to start out in high-end desktop systems, and move into the mainstream. How quickly the migration occurs will be largely a function of price. Currently, Samsung is getting a 30% price premium for DDR devices over single data rate SDRAMs. Deen projected the price separation will narrow to 10% by the end of next year.

ANZ Bank released a set of profit figures yesterday that took the sizzle out of its Asian growth strategy and reaffirmed that banks will struggle to find income growth in the face of weakening loan growth.
ANZ is the first of the big banks to release its results, with a set of numbers that at first glance looked good, but on closer examination were dull.
The bank's results are a good indication of what to expect when Westpac reports its results today and National Australia Bank tomorrow - lacklustre growth to come.
The era of super-profits is over - for now - with the home loan market stalling and little sign of business banking geeing up. And as the fall in bad and doubtful debts starts to peter out, as evidenced by ANZ yesterday, profit growth is flat.
ANZ tried to tart the results up to look like underlying profit was up 23 per cent, but if a $75 million cost from New Zealand technology integration was booked above the line instead of the bank's decision to put it below the line, the profit was flat.
It is hard to understand why the bank would treat these technology costs as a one-of-item given banks are constantly spending money on technology. Managing risk and technology is what they do.
Needless to say, the ploy didn't fool most investors, with the share price falling 2.1 per cent to $23.80.
Its key profitability ratio, the net interest margin, decreased to 2.47 per cent in the six months to March 31, from 2.5 per cent in the six months leading up to September 30, 2010.
Brett LeMesurier, banking analyst at BBY, said he was disappointed with the result.
''The much talked about Asian strategy has resulted in only 3 per cent income growth in the past six months and that can be attributed to trading gains anyway,'' he said. He said the dividend payout was on the low side, indicating the bank needed to improve its capital position.
At the group's December quarterly update, ANZ boss Mike Smith estimated the Queensland floods would cost the bank about $35 million.
But results released yesterday show that this estimate was low and needed to be topped up by $79 million, which brings it into line with what the Commonwealth Bank did three months ago when it announced a $100 million provision for the floods.
The bank's results indicate that despite all the noise about its Asia growth strategy, ANZ's growth is not better than any of the other banks.
Indeed, net interest income was flat, operating income was up 3 per cent and expenses were up 3 per cent based on its decision not to include the $75 million IT cost in New Zealand.
However, the increase in income for the bank can be explained largely by an increase in trading profits such as foreign exchange and commodities.
Its Asian business was up 12 per cent in US dollars but when it is converted to Australian dollars whatever gains were made were gobbled up in currency conversion.
For the first time, the Asian growth story has a flaw - scattered Asian businesses are denominated in US dollars. This must feel like Smith is punching himself in the head given it doesn't look that the US dollar is going to see a resurgence any time soon.
Put simply, Smith, by punting on the type of Asian strategy that he has, has hitched himself to the weakened state of the US economy and currency.
The big question for all the big four banks is what next for growth? ANZ's expansion into Asia appears to have a few flaws, NAB is still waiting for its business banking strategy to take off, Westpac is hoping its resuscitation of the Bank of Melbourne brand works and Commonwealth Bank has its tentacles in wealth management.
For the regional banks, it will be even more illuminating to see how tough competition, weaker demand in personal banking and rising costs of capital will impact earnings.
This is all going on against a backdrop of a Senate inquiry into banking competition, which is expected to release a set of recommendations on Friday.
While the word is that the interim report won't recommend increasing regulations, it will try to tinker around the edges to solve what it believes is the excessive dominance of the big four banks.
The recommendations will include some controversial proposals designed to stir up competition and, some would say, prop up a housing market that is already over-supported.
Besides a recommendation to help the lot of foreign banks with branches in Australia by fast-forwarding the removal of interest-withholding tax levied on banks that borrow offshore, the inquiry is also believed to be looking at ways to equalise funding payments relating to the wholesale funding guarantee.

A CHARITY that has supported over 20 troubled families in Dursley and Cam has been given a prestigious award dedicated to those making a difference in the community.
This year's Leslie D Gale award was awarded to Home-Start after its army of volunteers have helped 23 families in the area, 12 of which are from Dursley.
The group helps out those needing that extra hand for many reasons, including post-natal illness, disability, bereavement, the illness of a parent or child, or social isolation.
The aim is to help parents boost their confidence and their ability to cope, with four volunteers now working in the Dursley area and making a significant impact.
Co-ordinator Angela Lovegrove received the award from Dursley Mayor Cllr Jane Ball at the annual Dursley Town Council meeting, saying the organisation was deeply-rooted in the community.
"It's nice to get that recognition," she said.
"Our volunteers work very hard, they support some difficult situations and complicated families as well as some very nice families.
"It's a charity I am very passionate about. We have any absolutely fantastic group of volunteers."
Prospective volunteers are trained for 10 weeks so they can ensure that they are placed with the right family, which they work with for nine months on average but can also be with them for many years.
Cllr Ball said: "I have met a lot of the volunteers and they are very dedicated and many of the families are here and they get an awful lot of help."
The Leslie D Gale award was set up in 1994 as a tribute to the late Mr Gale, who was the last Chairman of Dursley Parish Council and the first Mayor of Dursley.
It recognises both longevity of service and a group or individual's impact on the community.
Dursley Town Council is now looking for nominations for other awards, including volunteer of the year, business of the year, sportsperson or team of the year and for a young person making a difference in the town.
If you would like to nominate someone or a group for these awards, email Dursley Town Council clerk Helen Bojaniwska on email@example.com or call 01453 547758.

BLOEMFONTEIN: A post-siren try by right-wing Tim Nanai-Williams enabled the Chiefs to snatch a 43-43 draw against the Cheetahs in a Super Rugby thriller on Saturday.
Five-eighth Aaron Cruden converted from in front of the posts to end a 10-try feast for a 15,000 crowd at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
It was the second high-scoring stalemate on a tour of South Africa for the defending champions, the New Zealanders having drawn 34-34 at the Bulls last weekend.
Chiefs stay third on the overall southern hemisphere championship standings with 20 points, one behind Australia's Brumbies and three adrift of the South African Coastal Sharks.
Cheetahs, at home after a disastrous four-defeat visit to Australasia, collected three points and moved off the bottom with compatriots the Stormers dropping to last place.
Cheetahs stunned the visitors by building a 34-10 half-time lead on the back of a superb performance from halfback Sarel Pretorius.
His sniping runs and alertness brought two tries and centre Rayno Benjamin and flank Boom Prinsloo also crossed.
Five-eighth Johan Goosen converted the four tries and kicked two penalties while all Chiefs could manage was a try from halfback Augustine Pulu that Cruden converted and earlier kicking a penalty.
But if the Cheetahs dominated the opening half with their scrum a potent weapon, territory and possession during the second 40 minutes belonged largely to the Chiefs.
Cheetahs survived for 12 minutes before Pulu claimed his second try which Cruden converted and a stirring comeback began.
Nanai-Williams and left-wing Asaeli Tokoirotuma claimed a try each within four minutes midway around the hour mark, leaving the Chiefs trailing 37-29 with 17 minutes remaining.
Another Tikoirotuma try 10 minutes from time was converted by Cruden and just one point separated the sides with the Cheetahs looking increasingly weary as they chased elusive opponents.
A couple of Goosen penalties brought his match total to 23 points and gave the Bloemfontein franchise a 43-36 advantage.
But the home side conceded two late penalties and Chiefs patiently retained possession as they inched toward the try-line before Nanai-Williams spotted a gap and darted over.
Goosen, who has been linked with a move to France after the Super Rugby season, succeeded with nine of 11 kicks at goal, potting five penalties and four conversions.
Cruden landed six of his eight shots at goal -- five conversions and a penalty -- with one of his failed attempts rebounding off the post.
CHEETAHS 43 (Sarel Pretorius 2, Rayno Benjamin, Boom Prinsloo tries Johan Goosen 4 cons 5 pens) drew CHIEFS 43 (Tim Nanai-Williams 2, Augustine Pulu 2, Asaeli Tikoirotuma 2 tries Aaron Cruden 5 cons pen) at Vodacom Park. Referee: Craig Joubert.

Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (ID-CT) and Congressman John Larson (CT-01) today applauded the Department of Defense's decision to stop work on the F136 alternate engine, a duplicative, wasteful program that our military does not want or need.
"The termination of the alternate engine program is an essential step toward focusing our scarce defense dollars on the programs that will actually help keep America safer," Lieberman said. "As American service members fight to defend our freedoms and safeguard human life across the world, I hope that today's decision will allow Congress to set this long-debated matter aside and move on to the critical business of the American people."
"I applaud Secretary Gates for following through on his commitment to end the Joint Strike Fighter's duplicative "extra' engine program," Congressman Larson said. "This program is the epitome of government waste, one that the Secretary himself referred to as an "unnecessary and extravagant expense.' Today's decision will save the American people nearly a million dollars a day and bring to close an issue that has been debated in Congress for more than 4 years. I hope that my colleagues will now join me in focusing our attention on more pressing national security matters.
The Defense Department's action comes after Congress has repeatedly voted in support of efforts by the President, the Secretary of Defense, and senior military leaders to end the duplicative program to develop an extra engine for the Joint Strike Fighter. In 2009, the U.S. Senate unanimously adopted an amendment introduced by Lieberman to prevent additional funding for the F136 engine. Last month, the House overwhelmingly voted to terminate the alternate engine, as well.
With the release of the fiscal year 2012 Defense budget, Secretary Gates said he would "look at all available legal options to close down [the Alternate Engine program]" if Congress failed to adopt a funding bill for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. On March 8, Lieberman and Larson (D-CT) sent a letter to Secretary Gates urging him to act on his authority to immediately terminate the program, which has cost American taxpayers almost a million dollars per day this year and would cost an additional $3 billion to complete development.
March 2, 2011
The Honorable Robert Gates
Secretary of Defense
The Pentagon
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Secretary Gates,
We write in strong support of your continued effort to end the F136 Alternate Engine program for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). As you have said throughout your tenure with the Department of Defense, this program represents "an unnecessary and extravagant expense" that must be eliminated if we are to properly fund our nation's warfighters. We couldn't agree more, and it is with this sentiment that we respectfully request that you to take the necessary action to end this program at the conclusion of the current continuing resolution.
As you know, in 2009 during debate on the FY10 National Defense Authorization Act, the Senate voted 59-38 in opposition to adding funding for the JSF Alternate Engine program. Subsequent to this vote, the Senate has not included funds for the extra engine in either the defense authorization or appropriations bills. In fact, on February 18, 2011, Senator Carl Levin, the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee stated in reference to funding the Alternate Engine program, that he, "doubt[s] very much [the Senate] will do it this year."
The comments by Chairman Levin came just days after action by the House of Representatives to terminate the alternate Engine program. On February 16, 2011, the House approved by a vote of 233-198 an amendment offered by Representative Tom Rooney that struck all funding for the Alternate Engine program from the proposed Department of Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2011. This action puts the House on the record as opposing all funding for the Alternate Engine program through the remainder of fiscal year 2011, and should provide you with the flexibility to terminate funding for the program at the end of the current continuing resolution.
With the release of the fiscal year 2012 Defense budget you stated, "I will look at all available legal options to close down [the Alternate Engine program]." We appreciate your strong position on this matter and hope that later this week you will be allowed to follow through on your commitment to end the program. The House and Senate have both spoken on this matter. It is time that we stop wasting nearly $1 million per day to continue a program that will surely be terminated.
Thank you again for the continued leadership you provide our nation's Armed Forces. We look forward to your prompt response on this matter.
Jon E. Larson
United States Representative
Joseph I. Lieberman
United States Senator

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/4/2012 (1946 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DETROIT -- The U.S. auto industry, already stretching to meet rising demand for cars and trucks, is facing shortages of parts and materials that could limit the number of new vehicles in showrooms later this year and crimp a historic turnaround.
The most immediate problem -- a shortage of a crucial plastic resin, caused by an explosion March 31 at a plant in Germany -- could surface in a few weeks.
And later this year or beyond, automakers could be confronted with an even bigger crisis, running short of parts simply because there aren't enough factories and people to make them.
No one is entirely sure how many plants or models will be affected by either problem. Automakers say they are working to avoid shortages in both cases. But it may be tough to manage the intricate chain of companies that make most of the 3,000 parts that go into every car, from tiny valves and computer chips to heavy metal castings for transmissions.
"A lot of them are under pressure because they reduced their staff and temporarily mothballed some of their factories," said Jim Gillette, an analyst with IHS Automotive. "A number of them are struggling to keep up at the moment."
The broader parts shortage dates to the auto industry's near-collapse in 2008 and 2009, when sales plummeted and General Motors and Chrysler were forced into bankruptcy protection. From 2008 to 2011, parts makers cut back on people, closed factories and sold off equipment.
During the downturn, at least 57 parts makers closed, were bought out or went into bankruptcy, according to the Original Equipment Suppliers Association. Nearly 20 per cent of auto parts workers -- more than 100,000 people -- lost their jobs from 2008 through 2011.
U.S. auto sales dropped to a 30-year low of 10.4 million in 2009 but are on the rebound. Last year, they grew to 12.8 million, and analysts are predicting 14.5 million or more this year. If sales rise above 15 million, some automakers will run short of parts, crimping the supply of certain models, said J. Scot Sharland, executive director of the Automotive Industry Action Group, a trade association.
"There's a genuine concern that if that happens, we're going to certainly have some spot outages" at auto assembly plants, Sharland said. "There's still a significant amount of pent-up demand in the market."

Mike Gillis sent shockwaves through Canuck nation on trade deadline day. In the biggest deal of the day, Gillis sent Cody Hodgson and Alex Sulzer to the Buffalo Sabres for Zack Kassian and Marc-Andre Gragnani. I think like a lot of people, I was immediately confused by this trade. So I sat down, weighed the pros and cons, looked at it from all angles and I still don't like it.
Lets take a look at what the Canucks are getting:
Zack Kassian
Kassian is the key to the deal for the Canucks. He was the 13th overall pick in the 2009 draft and starred in the 2011 World Junior Championships for Canada. At 6'3″, 214 lbs, he's a big power forward and projects to be exactly what the Canucks need. He's mean and nasty and can score. He had 77 points in 56 games in junior last year and has put up very good numbers in the AHL (26 points in 30 games) as a rookie. He has only played in 27 NHL games with the Sabres this year, notching 7 points while averaging about 12 minutes of ice time per game.
The Canucks are likely hoping that Kassian can be big, mean and provide a scoring touch, playing on their third line. If he's able to do that, he'll give the Canucks a dimension that they don't have currently. Of course, he's still a rookie so the jury is still out on whether or not he can carry the mail.
I asked Eric Schmitz, a Sabres blogger at 3rd Man In, how he felt about Zack Kassian and here's how our conversation went:
Rob: "You ought to be thrilled to get Cody Hodgson"
Eric: "I definitely am. I'm very high on him, was hoping to get him in his draft year."
Rob: "think you did ok with Myers"
Eric: "Yeah, it worked out in the end I think hahaha"
Rob: "do you think Kassian is ready to play full-time in the NHL right now?"
Eric: "He has shown the skills. Great down low at defending the puck, good hands. Just rarely throws his weight around."
So those are hardly rave reviews, especially when you consider that he hasn't scored a lot yet. Before speaking with Eric, I got the impression that Kassian was a big guy that wasn't ready to score at the NHL level yet, but was certainly ready to throw big hits.
Marc-Andre Gragnani
Gragnani is a 24 year old offensive minded defenceman playing in his first full NHL season. He has 12 points in 44 games this year, but first burst onto the scene late last year. Gragnani only played in 9 regular season games for Buffalo last year, but he had 7 points in 7 games in the playoffs. Gragnani averaged 22 minutes of ice time per game in last year's playoffs, good enough for third most on the Sabres. The question on Gragnani for me is if he was treated fairly this year. Was his drop in ice time unfair or was it warranted? The numbers would suggest to me that he should have been given more playing time, but high priced newcomers like Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr caused his reduced responsibility.
Analyzing the Trade
In many ways this is a bizarre trade, because people aren't sure if this is a trade for the future or a trade for the present. In my opinion, the best player in the deal is Cody Hodgson in the short term, and in the long term. He was more highly touted than Kassian as a junior player and has proven more at the NHL level. Hodgson has shown enough to believe that he is going to be a star player one day, and is a very useful player today. Kassian's ability for this season is undetermined, and long term is not a sure bet either. I hope that Mike Gillis believes that Zack Kassian will be a better player than Cody Hodgson in the long run, because that will determine the winner of this trade.
In this trade, the Canucks have made a decision that they needed to go with a grittier, more defensive third line in the playoffs. I think Alain Vigneault would have been hesitant to play Hodgson as much in the playoffs, and I think they need a checking line. But to give up on Cody Hodgson to make this happen I believe is an unnecessary risk.
Hodgson may not be your prototypical third line centre, but I think he could have learnt to play the wing, if that was the main concern. If you're going to trade a guy like Hodgson, I would have preferred to see players with fewer question marks coming back. In this trade, Mike Gillis has managed to make me less confident in the short term and the long term.
But there is hope. The Canucks needed to get grittier and Zack Kassian certainly does that. They needed to get more depth on defence, and they did with Gragnani. Sami Pahlsson, acquired earlier from the Blue Jackets, will determine the success of this trade in the short term, as he will likely take over the third line centre spot. If Pahlsson is a better all-around third line centre in the playoffs than Hodgson would have been and if Gragnani can improve their defence and if Kassian can play on the third line, then the Canucks will have a better chance to win the Stanley Cup. And if the Canucks can win the Stanley Cup in 2012, nothing Cody Hodgson can do will make Mike Gillis regret the trade.

You are not liable for his loan whatsoever (unless you signed something as a guarantor or co-signor). However, the lien would still be on the property meaning that the bank could foreclose if the loan wasn't paid. You would lose your interest in the property if this were to happen, but the foreclosure would not affect your credit.
It is not on your credit because it is not your debt. If your dad personally signed for the loan it would be on his credit. If your brother were to default on the loan, it would not show up on your credit (and maybe not even his if he did not sign for it).
In foreclosure proceedings, the lender must notify the owners and/or occupiers of the home. The owner of the house (from what I have gathered from your question) is the trust. This means they would notify the trustee of the trust. The trustee should notify the beneficiaries of the trust if and when any trust asset may be foreclosed upon.
Having the note would allow you to collect the loan amount if he were to stop paying the loan and you had to buy out the loan to save the property (i.e. you would have more of a chance of being repaid). However, if your brother were to stop paying the loan to the bank (who also has a note) there is no guaranty that he would pay you either. But just to reiterate, you are not responsible for the loan, but can pay it off to save your interest in the property.

Clinton Township
Student project turns 'madness' into 'careness'
By Maria Allard
Posted April 11, 2013
CLINTON TOWNSHIP —As college basketball fans cheered on their favorite teams during March Madness, students in the Clintondale High School marketing II class organized their own competition that followed suit.
The students run the school store, known as the Hot Spot, and every month, they have a new window display that promotes the establishment's merchandise and draws in customers. As March got underway, the students brainstormed the theme for the month and decided to do something that would benefit the community.
With a play on March Madness, the marketing II class called the project "March Careness" and collected canned foods, dry foods and personal hygiene products at school for local needy families. There are about 25 students in marketing II, and they solicited donations from the entire student population and the staff the week before spring break.
Marketing II class instructor Kim Spriggs said 201 dry food items, 444 canned food items and 228 toiletries were collected. The students donated half of the goods to the school's CANDO program that helps students in need. She also said 200 items will benefit Gleaners Community Food Bank. At press time, the students were deciding on where to donate the remaining items.
Rice, pasta, cereal, canned vegetables, toothpaste, toilet paper, soap and toothbrushes were among the donated items.
And like March Madness, March Careness came with some fierce competition. Donors had the option of contributing their goods to either the Hot Spot or the school's Dragon Café restaurant, which is also student-run.
Whichever team received the donation earned points. The Hot Spot edged out the Dragon Café as receiving more in donations.
Students who contributed items also received community service credit and had the chance to win gift cards via raffles to local stores, courtesy of the school's Be The Change organization.
"They were a very integral part in us being able to do this," Spriggs said.
The project came together very quickly, and each student took on a different job to ensure a successful drive. Senior Terri Stewart, for instance, organized the gift cards and kept track of of students' commnity service hours.
"It made me feel proud of my school. We were able to help others," she said. "Why not give and do what you can do?"
Tamia Brew was one student who publicized March Careness.
"I had to think of ways to promote the event," the high school senior said. Making posters, along with sharing information about the project on Facebook and Instagram, got the word out. Talking to other students about it, too, was another way of promoting. "It felt good. We accomplished something."
"Everyone stepped up and just worked togther," Spriggs said. "In that short amount of time, everybody played their part. That, as a teacher, is one of the things I'm proudest of."
"The project went really good for the amount of time we had," said senior Kylie McAuley, who worked on the window display and "where else I was needed."
March Careness culminated on the basketball court. A showdown brewed during a school assembly March 28, in which the Hot Spot took on the Dragon Café in a basketball game that tied into the March Madness excitement. This time, it was the restaurant players who defeated the Hot Spot, 49-43.
Seniors Raffy Alam and Heather Buffa helped plan the assembly and believe March Careness was a success.
"I feel that our project will definitely help everyone, and we are hoping to get the other classes to keep this going each year," Buffa said.
"The response was very good," Alam said. "At least we tried to help everyone. I think it was a success. Clintondale came together. We all worked together. It's a good deed. A lot of people will be affected."
The Hot Spot is open during lunch. It sells drinks, snacks, school supplies and school-related merchandise. While the Dragon Café primarily services the school, it is open to the public. Because running the restaurant is an actual class, the students need prep time, therefore the cafe is open for service Wednesday through Friday.
