The Fifty Shades Of Grey Leads Have Been Cast, For Real This Time
Attention! This is not a drill. After what feels like years of rumors and speculation and teasing, the leads for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie have finally been cast. And I have absolutely no opinion about it, so please don't shoot the messenger if you have a problem. I'm just a humble blogger bringing you the news and fearing the wrath of fans. Drum roll please. Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey will be played by Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam. Respectively. They're not doing any cross-gender twist or anything. Author E.L. James announced the castings on her Twitter page an hour apart and then Deadline confirmed it, so we know it's actually official this time.
I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
— E L James (@E_L_James) September 2, 2013
The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
— E L James (@E_L_James) September 2, 2013
Since I haven't read these books, all I can give you is a little background information about the actors. Dakota Johnson is the 23-year-old daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. She appeared in the tragically canceled TV comedy Ben and Kate last season. Charlie Hunnam is a 33-year-old British actor. He's perhaps best known for his role on the FX drama Sons of Anarchy. He also appeared in this year's Pacific Rim.
I can't tell you how relieved I am that this question is finally answered, not because I had anything invested in the casting, but because the rumors were endless. Every day another name was attached to the role, and we had so many false alarms that I was starting to think it would never be official. But I'm curious to ask what fans of the novel have to say about the casting? From what I know about the characters, their ages at least seem pretty accurate, but how do you think they'll fare in the roles? Do you think it was a good idea to go with lesser-known actors?
The movie has a release date of August 1, 2014, so this announcement comes almost exactly eleven months in advance.

I am wondering about the use of malathion in african violets. I had tried it once and burned the leaves with it. Since I have heard about folks using it regularly I would love to know how to do it properly without damaging my plants. Also, what about using distilled waters for african violets?
I do use marathon granules and an insecticidal soap spray but I am concerned I could miss other critters.
Thanks so much!
Malathion use
I am wondering about the use of malathion in african violets. I had tried it once and burned the leaves with it. Since I have heard about folks using it regularly I would love to know how to do it properly without damaging my plants. Also, what about using distilled waters for african violets?
You should be pretty well covered with Marathon. That usually gets rid of most of the bad pests or at least keeps them at bay.
I use Malathion at about half the strength that's suggested for outdoor plants and always try on one leaf before spraying the whole plant. Also, I only use it on mealies because I have had bad experiences with them in the past and go into overkill mode when I see only one. For anything else I just use Neem.
Personally I haven't found any difference between using distilled/demineralized water and tap water but others might very well have other experiences in that regard. Also make sure that the water isn't too cold to prevent spotting.
thanks so much!
I try not to use insecticides,other than Safer Soaps once in awhile.Back in the old days I dipped my plants regularly in Malathion,at a lower dosage than the label said for indoor plants.I never had any damage.I am not recommending this,because Malathion is nothing to fool around with.It is not as safe as many think.Always wear heavy gloves and a mask.It is not really for indoor use.
I agree wholeheartedly!
In order to spray a plant, I take it to the back porch, spray and wait until the plant is dry again. I never use Malathion in my living area. It definitely is for outdoor use. And even then, I wear gloves and mask.
The thing is that even the insecticides that are deemed "safe" for indoor use, like the natural or synthetic Pyrethroids for example, have been repeatedly tested and found anything but safe for indoor use.
The only spray insecticide that is halfways safe for indoor use that I know of and that I have successfully used is Neem.
Again: I use Malathion on mealies and plants that were outdoors for Summer and I never use it inside but on the back porch.
A good rule is to treat ANY insecticide as a toxic substance and to use the necessary precautions every time.
It can't be stressed enough just how important prevention is. From correct watering to proper grooming. Healthy plants need much less or no insecticides and other toxins than stressed and unhappy plants.
Thanks for all the info. I am trying to do better with my pest control and sanitation around my plants. I have had some problems in the past with powdery mildew and mites so I am doing more preventative care and I want to do the best I can for my gessies without harming them. I have started using Physan 20 for the plants and spraying the trays too.
I do have insecticidal soap and the marathon, and I hoping that between those and the Physan 20 I am pretty well covered. I have also used the Raid Flying Insect in a plastic bag method and that seems to work well without harming the plants.
I did have a gnat problem but since hanging up sticky bug tape that cleared up within 3 or 4 days.
I do use gloves and a mask with insecticides because I have a lot of orchids so I am using to protecting myself in that respect.
Thanks you guys!
Spraying Lysol above your plants is a great help for mildew.
I have used spray Lysol in the past and I was also reading a paper by Thad Scaggs who use the Lysol in the brown bottle and mixes that up and uses it, so I have started doing that also. I am wondering if the Physan 20 will take care of any powdery mildew though?
It might Pat.Here is a good site about it.
Thanks Lynn. That is a very good site!

Praxis Series Tests
When registering for both tests (Praxis I and II), be sure to include St. Norbert College (R1706) as the Score Recipient Institution.
Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (CORE)
Wisconsin requires all certification candidates to pass minimum competency tests in three areas: reading, writing and mathematics. Students will be introduced to the Praxis CORE tests during the first year of education courses. Students are required to pass the Praxis CORE unless they meet the requirements of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) ACT/SAT/GRE waiver guidelines.
Students are required to take the Praxis CORE exams, or complete the DPI ACT/SAT/GRE waiver guidelines, during their freshman or first year in the program. Students can register online or print a registration form from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) website to mail to ETS. The ETS site contains specific information about each test as well as registration and test location information. Students must bear the cost for the tests and must pass all three portions of the Praxis CORE by the conclusion of their pre-professional block experience.
Currently (as of Sept 1, 2014), the state has established the following minimum scores for entry into teacher preparation: Reading - 156, Writing - 162 and Mathematics - 150. Students will not be allowed to continue in the teacher-education program without successfully passing the Praxis CORE tests or fulfilling the guidelines set by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Students may retake the portions of the test until these requirements are met. Waivers may be granted after two unsuccessful tries on any portion of the Praxis CORE. See the Praxis CORE waiver guidelines for more information on the waiver process.

Praxis II—Content Assessment
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WDPI) requires that all pre-service teachers, in order to be certified to teach in the state, demonstrate their content knowledge by passing a standardized test — the Educational Testing Service's Praxis II Series.
In order to take the exam, a pre-service teacher must have: passed the Praxis CORE, had it waived by the department, or passed the ACT in accordance with Wisconsin DPI guidelines; be in good standing in the St. Norbert College teacher-education program; and have declared a major/minor/concentration area/certification program. For pre-service teachers student-teaching in the fall semester, the Praxis II must be passed by January of the calendar year in which the student-teaching will occur. For those student-teaching in the spring semester, the Praxis II must be passed by August of the previous calendar year.
The Praxis II is required to be passed before a student is placed for student-teaching. No waivers are allowed on the Praxis II tests. View the test codes for each certification area/major.

Cry African Child But Africa Will Rise - Poem by mohamed Alpha Ba
Tender-aged am I
Innocent as I am
Hear me NOW!
In modern servitude
Where the loading and offloading I am
At the battle fields
At the construction sites
In the factories
In market places
In the plantations
O' along the roads
Battered beaten and bruise
Burnt banished and abuse
Behold the future generation I am
But here am I
Orphaned who is rejected
Abducted only to be exploited
Mut ilated and drugged.
Today we are depressed but not crushed
Perplexed but not in despair
Sidelined but still in the race
Abandoned but not destroyed
Forsaken but yet God's chosen
O' hear me NOW!
Pretty bud I am
Growing out of mud am I
A blessed child
Tamed in captive mind
Robbed out of precious stone
Left me neither broken nor torn
But still a
Shining coal complexion I am
Treasure in the nation's eye
A hope for the future
A pure seed of true virtue
A fragrant leaf of uncorrupted nature
Today tears shed I am
Tomorrow scream upon the mountains am I
To those who are stealing our goods
To those who are derailing our milk
To those who had deprived us
That surely Africa will rise
African children will smile
Forever like in the sky...

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Deerfield Beach, FL, United States, 2012/04/25 - IRS Increased use of Seizures and Levies may Destroy Taxpayers High Opinions of the IRS, Cautions Jeffrey Galante, Former IRS Manager and JG Tax Group Founder - JGTaxGroup.com.
In his prepared remarks before the National Press Club on April 5, 2012, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, Douglas H. Shulman, said that the IRS has had a sustained progress since 1998. [IRS News Release IR-2012-42]
Shulman stated that,I look back to what the IRS was like before the major reorganization took place in 1998 and where we are today
a sustained arc of progress that had a very different beginning.
But standing before you today
it is gratifying to see and share with you the meaningful
and I believe, lasting progress that has been made" said Shulman, in part.
Continuing, Shulman said that,Now, every year, the American Customer Satisfaction Index measures customer satisfaction across various industries and government agencies. While we have many measures of customer service at the IRS, this composite index is the main measure we use to track our overall performance.
In 1998, the IRS had hit rock bottom. It reached an all-time low with only 32 percent of respondents to the American Customer Satisfaction Index survey voicing satisfaction with how we were doing our job. But over time, the IRS pulled out of this downward spiral. Slowly, but surely, it regained taxpayer approval as the IRS improved its services, such as e-file, and began offering new ones through our Website. All of this hard work paid off. The numbers tell the story. Shulman said.
The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 [RRA 98] purpose was to restructure the IRS and to provide taxpayers with the tools they needed to legally combat IRS misconduct, and abuse of taxpayer rights, notes, Jeffrey Galante, of JG Tax Group.
Since its enactment in 1998, RRA 98 has had a positive impact on how Americans see the IRS, resulting in the highest Customer Satisfaction Survey in 2011.
According to Shulman,For 2011, the American Customer Satisfaction Index survey of taxpayers showed satisfaction with the tax filing experience reaching 73 on a scale of 100 among all individual tax filers. That is our highest score since we began participating in the survey in 1994.
Although the IRS originally complied with RRA 98 by cutting back on enforcement actions, the Agency has returned to very aggressive collection tactics. From fiscal year 2000 to 2011, the IRS collection enforcement actions have increased a whopping 1606% for levies, 262% for liens, and 949% for seizures, says Galante.
In her 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the National Taxpayer Advocate, Nina E. Olson, said that the most serious problem for the IRS is that the IRS is not adequately funded to serve taxpayers and collect taxes.
As a former IRS manager, it saddens me to say that the IRS may be repeating history by making the same mistakes it made in the early 1990s, which led to the massive reorganization of the IRS and passage of tax laws that were designed to protect taxpayers rights, observes Galante.
The IRS appears to be kicking taxpayers while theyre down during these severe economic times. The Agency is collecting tax money, wherever and whenever they can, regardless of a taxpayers financial hardship, observes Galante.
Heres a real life story about one family in which the IRS is preparing to seize their personal residence
leaving them out on the street
homeless, says Galante.
On behalf of Mr. & Mrs. David C. of Elko, Nevada, JG Tax Group (jgtaxgroup.com) has been trying to set up a payment plan with the IRS, but the IRS has said No [JG Tax Group Case #100318005]. The IRS wants to seize the taxpayers home to pay the tax debt. Mr. & Mrs. C. say that they are devastated and dont want to be homeless.
According to Jeffrey Galante,"JG Tax Group has been fighting very hard to stop the IRS from seizing the taxpayers home...filing an appeal to get an unbiased review of the case, and asking the Taxpayer Advocate to stop the impending home seizure to allow for an adequate review of the taxpayers financial and medical hardships. Mr. & Mrs. David C. are 69 and 65 years old, respectively. Mr. David C. is still working and cant retire because of his familys ongoing IRS and medical problems. The Cs daughter-in-law recently received a kidney transplant, and she and her family have all been living in the Cs home. In addition, Mrs. C. recently flew to Germany to help her elderly mother, because of medical issues"
While at the IRS in the early 1990s I saw similar cases. Frankly, I didnt like it then, and I still dont like it when the IRS proceeds with enforced collection actions, prior to giving adequate consideration to a taxpayers personal hardships, complains Galante.

I didnt like the Evil Lyn issue. Now I know that I hate her as a character in general, but besides that I didnt like it.
The black and white wasn't bad. The big screen TV at the bar had me rolling my eyes. Also the story was so..eh typical, expected, uninteresting, predictable etc. etc. Wow EL uses a man to get what she wants. *YAWN* This tells me no more about her than what I already knew. Dumb.
For those of us who already know her how about throwing a twist in there. Blind side us with information that will make us go. WHOA I didnt see that coming. And those who know nothing about her will enjoy the story.
The issue was flat.

Whoa there, pod'nuh. Let's pull this buggy over and catch our breath for a second. Some major developments occurred last week, and I didn't see news of it oozing out from the usual media. There were stories about the details, for sure, but I didn't see anybody pointing out the really big news. Before we rush on down the road, could we review?
The big ongoing story in Dallas, I don't have to tell you, is the election next May to ditch the city manager system and establish a "strong mayor" structure for City Hall. The big news last week was that virtually all of the dyed-in-the-wool, fight-to-the-death opponents of establishing a strong-mayor system in Dallas came out with their own versions of a strong-mayor system in Dallas.
Let's not be fancy with the analysis. The headline I did not see but should have seen was: "Strong-Mayor Opponents Come Out in Favor of Strong Mayor."
Is that a hello or what? But I didn't see it. Three weeks ago, every single member of the city council except the mayor was adamantly opposed to any kind of strong-mayor system and said it would lead to the city being taken over by communist mafia Yankee bastards. Now as of last week, the city council says it's working on its own strong-mayor proposal.
The Dallas Citizens Council apparently is going to float its own version of a strong-mayor system. You may not know who they are. It's a private group that meets in secret and used to run the city. I don't know a lot about them beyond that. I think they may have secret handshakes and hats with animal horns on them, stuff like that. But we're supposed to care.
Oh, here's the best part: The "Coalition for Open Government," which is the main anti-strong mayor organization, is also working on a strong-mayor proposal.
How could this be? Please allow me to suggest a theory, a historical parallel. I don't mean to diminish the role of the French Resistance in fighting the Nazis--they truly were courageous and effective--but it seems to be fact that many French people joined the Resistance more or less as De Gaulle was marching into Paris. It's called getting on the right side of history.
For the last month the opponents of a strong-mayor reform have been carrying out various levels of public opinion measurement. I can't get anybody to admit they have done any high-definition polling, but the Coalition, for example, has been running phone banks in which part of what they do is solicit the opinions of the people they call. And I suspect that somebody by now has done some even better measuring, because people with big checkbooks often want to test the wind before writing big checks.
What can we see? What is the best indicator of the way public opinion must be running? It's the fact that all of the opponents of a strong-mayor reform have basically jumped off their own ships and are now swimming madly for strong mayor island.
Sure, they have an agenda, and I understand it. I may even lean toward it. Or I should say I might have leaned toward it before it started looking so stupid. They want to tell you to vote against the "Blackwood Proposal"--the strong-mayor reform on the ballot May 7--in order to give them time to come up with their own more better strong-mayor proposals more later.
So, let's say you're you. And you think City Hall is a junk pile. You're in favor of the strong-mayor thing mainly because you want to be able to focus on at least one person down there whom you can hold accountable. And now here come all these people waving paper at you and shouting, "Oh, no, hold on, you need to vote against this thing next May so you can vote more later for our more better ideas."
OK. What are their ideas? This brings us to the second major hello of last week. My headline for that story would have been: "Backers of Alternate Strong-Mayor Proposals Unable to Agree on Proposals."
Look, let's take this down to the basics. What is the bottom-line accusation here, the source of the city's malaise, the real reason people are so mad at the Dallas City Council? It's that people think the city council can't agree on anything.
So what happens when the council denounces these accusations, says they are unfair, says it can, too, agree on things, says we don't need a strong-mayor reform at all, says it has its own much better strong-mayor idea that we do need and then says it can't decide on what its idea is?
This is called reinforcing negative stereotypes. It's usually done by others to you. When you do it to yourself, it's called destiny.
Now let's bend over even more backward to be fair to the opponents and ask what kinds of ideas they are considering, even if the election is not all that far away and they still can't decide which one they favor. Got your pencils out? All sharpened up? Got your highlighters and your cup of coffee? We'll do a comparative analysis.
The council seems to be leaning toward a strong-mayor system that retains a city manager but allows the mayor to hire the manager at will while requiring council approval to fire the manager. The Citizens Council (handshake, animal horns) seems to favor a system in which the mayor must seek council approval to hire the city manager but can fire the manager at will. Got that?
Um, I don't know if I remembered to mention that all of the black members of the city council are opposed to any change in the existing system and would basically like to bring back former Dallas police Chief Terrell Bolton. If you're doing a little matrix there on your desk, you need to draw in a picture of Chief Bolton sneaking back in from the lower right-hand corner.
All right, let's get serious. It doesn't matter which particular little formulation the city council comes up with or the Citizens Council or the Coalition for Open Government or my brother-in-law or whoever. All of these distinctions are so arcane, so minute, so incredibly political science wonkish that the whole thing is like debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Do we think people are going to be lined up around the block waiting to vote and everybody in line is arguing: "Nay, nay, I say the mayor must be able to hire the manager, but the manager can only be fired with a super-majority of the council and not before his years of service plus his age divided by his IQ equal the combined body weight of the council!"?
Give me a break. The lines will be short. The argument will be: "I hate the council more than the mayor." "I hate the mayor more than the council."
And here is the part I find genuinely saddening. I'm not kidding. I have such admiration for the people who serve on the council. But one of the ideas being floated by the council is the creation of regional satellite city council offices to make it easier for citizens to get to know their council members.
Oh, my goodness, how to say it? The thing enlivening political discourse in the city now is not a public hunger for more opportunities to meet council persons. It's kind of, well...the opposite, really.
The council does good work. They do excellent work sometimes. But as one observer said to me last week, they do good small work. But that's also why, when they are the ones captaining the ship of state, the only course they can steer is tight circles off the pier.
And talk about reinforcing your own worst stereotypes. One of the big strokes the council pulled off last week was publishing all of their own e-mail addresses on the op-ed page of The Dallas Morning News with a request that citizens write in and tell them what to do.
Is this supposed to be reassuring? How about this instead? How about we erect a huge guillotine on the plaza in front of City Hall with a sign on it: "CITY COUNCIL: FIGURE IT OUT OR THIS IS YOU." It's like trying to breathe a sense of urgency into the Crystal Charity Ball.
I've said this before. I guess I'm going to say it again. A certain set of people in Dallas love City Hall exactly the way it is, because it works for them. Every political pirate and pickpocket in town looks at that scene down there, and it's like some kind of ongoing champagne-fueled pillow fight at the bank--a grifter's dream come true.

I don't believe in giving the mayor credit where credit is due, just because I figure she has enough credit. But she did compare all of these promises of alternative proposals at later dates to the old "your check is in the mail" line. And she did raise the question why anyone would trust them.
Good question, I'm afraid. So far, it's a bird in the bush versus no bird, no bush, but we're looking.
I don't know how I'm going to vote, but I'm going to do all my voting on May 7. Vote it up, vote it down: That's the day I make up my mind.
I really do love the council. But every time I see another of these news conferences to announce that they can't decide what to announce, I wonder if we need to get them to sign a political living will.

Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep is loaded with talent. Here is the latest recruiting news on two of their starters- Winston Shepard and Amedeo Della Valle.
Shepard, a 6-foot-8 versatile forward who did a great job defending Jabari Parker in the Hoophall Classic, has long been considered a heavy lean towards San Diego State and New Mexico.
Both schools might indeed be in the lead, but UNLV, Oklahoma State and UTEP are also in contention. Here recently Shepard has also added Oregon and St. John's to his list.
In no hurry to make a decision, Shepard plans to use all five of his official visits. He has already used one of those five to visit New Mexico.
Della Valle is also a versatile player like Shepard. At 6-foot-5, Della Valle can play all three perimeter positions.
"Amedeo has a high basketball IQ and a great feel for the game," said Findlay Prep head coach Mike Peck. "Like I tell everyone, strength is the key for how good Amedeo will be. He has a well rounded game. He can shoot, put it on the deck, pass and plays hard."
St. Mary's, Gonzaga and Arizona have offered Della Valle according to Peck and are at the top of his list. Peck also noted UCLA, UConn and Kansas as schools that are showing interest in Della Valle.

The prisoners were released on Tuesday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
Earlier on November 5, 553 detainees were also released on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.
Syria has chosen to free the prisoners as part of efforts to end the months-long unrest in the country.
The release of prisoners comes as on Monday, Syrian Foreign Minister
Walid al-Muallem censured a decision made by the Arab League (AL) to
suspend the country's membership.
The Syrian foreign minister said that the decision against Damascus
was made despite the implementation of measures requested by the AL to
end the unrest in the country.
The Arab League announced the suspension of Syria during an
emergency session in Cairo on Saturday and called for the imposition of
sanctions on Syria.
Muallem described the decision as "illegitimate and dangerous."

BRUSSELS, July 6 (Reuters) Serbia aims to arrest and transfer fugitive Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic to the UN war crimes tribunal by the end of the year, President Boris Tadic vowed today.
Tadic told reporters after meetings with EU officials his government viewed the transfer of Mladic, charged with genocide, as key to signing a stabilisation and association agreement (SAA) on closer ties with the EU, but also as a moral imperative.
''That is our goal,'' Tadic told a news conference, when asked whether Belgrade expected to hand Mladic over by the end of the year to the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
''We all know it is a precondition in achieving agreement in the SAA but at the same time this is our moral obligation and this is our strategic goal. We will do everything in our power to arrest all fugitives including Ratko Mladic.'' Mladic is wanted over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims. ICTY officials believe he is hiding in Serbia.
Tadic said his new government had already shown evidence of better cooperation with ICTY, noting the arrest in May of Bosnian Serb general Zdravko Tolimir, a close Mladic aide.
United Nations war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte has called on Belgrade to deliver Mladic by the end of the year, noting ICTY was under international pressure to complete all trials on its books by next year.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told the same news conference he hoped the European Union and Serbia could finally sign the long-stalled SAA pact in the same timescale.
But he declined to say whether Serbia would be ready to win the status of a candidate country for EU membership in 2008, something pro-EU politicians in Belgrade want.
''It is not just a technical issue, it is a political issue. I will not commit myself to a date. We would like to do it as quickly as possible,'' he said.

Moon Alert
We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Pisces.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Trust your money-making ideas today because you're in a resourceful mood! And hey — your resourcefulness extends further to anything you own, which is why you see new uses or applications for something. In part, this is because you're a courageous thinker (not afraid of new ideas) and so clever with your hands.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You have the mind of a sleuth today. You're not concerned with superficial issues. Au contraire. You want to know what's going on beneath everything. You're attracted to mysteries and will enjoy reading mystery novels or seeing mystery movies. You might also meet someone mysterious.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your research skills are fabulous today. If there's something you want to know more about or you're seeking an answer or a solution to a problem, by all means, roll up your sleeves and dig in. You will instinctively know how to go for the jugular. ("Gotcha!")
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Group discussions will be powerful and memorable today because someone in the group is so convincing! This person is determined to get their way and persuade others to agree with them. (Actually, this person could be you.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You' will easily persuade parents, teachers, bosses and VIPs to agree with your plans today. You are so convincing, others will simply fall in line. Alternatively, someone in authority might powerfully convince you to do their bidding. (Could go either way but it's more fun being the boss.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have such excellent concentration and perseverance; you'll excel at any study today. Pick a topic and put your mind to it. You want to get to the bottom of things; you also want to better understand how something works.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Do act on any chance you get to have your say in the division of something or how to share something, including inheritances and insurance payouts or jointly-held property. You will be powerfully persuasive and others will listen to you. (Good!)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A serious discussion with a partner or close friend might include how to improve your style of relating to each other. You're not a casual person (even though you are playful). Your relationships matter to you a great deal.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This can be a productive day at work for you because your research skills are great plus you have a strong urge to see how to do things better. You're keen to introduce reforms or improvements to your job and maybe to your co-workers as well! (Easy does it.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
When it comes to the Arts, sports, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and anything to do with children – today, you are full of ideas about how to do things better or introduce new ideas. Oh yeah. "Right here in River City!"
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is the perfect day to plan or do repairs where you live. You see new uses for things you own or new ways of doing things. In particular, you might want to tackle plumbing, bathrooms, laundry and even garbage and recycling. ("Hey – I like what you did with the place!")
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because your mind is full of penetrating insight today, it's a great day to study, or persuade others to agree with you. You can easily sell something or teach others. You might even see ways to improve your immediate surroundings because you are unusually resourceful. You want to clean things up.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Film director/screewriter/producer Sofia Coppola (1971) shares your birthday today. You like to be modern and up-to-date. Personally, you push yourself hard because you're energetic plus you're a perfectionist. You are often misunderstood by others because of your swings between super activity and contemplative solitude. Sometimes you overwork yourself because you're so excited about your ideas. A lovely, social year awaits you that will improve all relationships. Enjoy!

[16 January 2012]
In adapting Alejandro Amenábar's Abre los ojos into the 2001 American film, Vanilla Sky, Cameron Crowe made some sly additions to highlight the ways cultural properties become part of our sensemaking experience. In the film's big reveal, we discover that Tom Cruise's lucid dreamer has helped construct his reality partially out of meaningful paintings, songs, films and even album covers. It's the conscious, deliberate version of something that we all do subconsciously.
On Azure Blue's debut, former Irene and Laurel Music songwriter Tobias Isaksson also creates a dreamworld of sorts based on the cultural properties that move him. Unlike Cruise's character, disfigured from a car crash and cryogenically preserved after a suicide attempt, Isaksson is working through the somewhat more mundane traumas of romantic breakups and a move from Gothenburg to Stockholm. Also, unlike the lucid dream of Vanilla Sky, the personal landscape that Isaksson builds on Rule of Thirds isn't simply augmented by his pop culture fixations, but dominated by them.
Isaksson wears his obsessions on his sleeve throughout, from the bandname—a riff on Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue—to the synth-rich musical DNA here, a departure from the twee folk-pop of Laurel Music and the horn-heavy bubblegum of Irene. Echoing Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark at their chart-friendliest with a few moves borrowed from New Order, these songs seem custom-made for cutting from the last shot of Molly Ringwald and her beau to the credits.
At the same time, for all of Isaksson's obvious affection for the know-it-when-you-hear-it microgenre of John Hughes Sad Songs for Young Lovers, he files down the sharp rhythmic edges—the vague remnants of funk left over in the transition from post-punk to New Romantic—and doesn't quite have the voice for epic swooning, so sticks to a muted, almost whispered delivery. It's probably the best use that Isaksson has found for a voice that could sound unwieldy and off-key on Irene's material, but combined with the gloss of reverb, it's a little too understated here for both the style from which he heavily borrows and the subject matter.
To his credit, Isaksson is upfront about his cultural borrowing, and it's clearly by design that this all sounds so '80s retro. He even casually signals his dependence on cultural influences by opening Rule of Thirds with a cover of "Fingers", originally a piano ballad on late Go-Betweens songwriter Grant McLennan's 1992 solo album Fireboy. Isaksson transforms it into a mid-tempo wash, the anger and confusion in McLennan's cracked delivery of "Hey, you / Watch me fall through your fingers. / I will spill away like sand" muted to contemplative acceptance. If it fails to pack the wallop of the original, "Fingers" is still a triple-whammy in establishing Isaksson's reference-heavy means of coping with sadness. It's buttressed not just by the cultural weight of McLennan himself, but McLennan's own allusions—the line "I still remember the night you sang 'Moon River'" connects Rule of Thirds to the Mercer/Mancini classic and Audrey Hepburn's famous performance of it in Breakfast at Tiffany's (although banking a relationship on a shared liking for Breakfast at Tiffany's in 2011 suggests that Deep Blue Something has taught Isaksson nothing).
The references continue throughout, most notably on first single "Catcher in the Rye", on which Isaksson claims "It's just a cycle / didn't we all find out long ago? / From Hemingway to the Crystals / from de Sade to Sade". The names accumulate, but don't interact (aside from the cute de Sade/Sade joke), as if Isakkson seeks to trace the arc of a relationship solely through the literature and music the lovers once shared. But the name-drops are all so general and scattered that they only serve to distance us from the stories being told. On "Little Confusions", Isakkson celebrates "Love, love, love, love" over a fleet-footed rhythm track and dramatic soundscape, but it's the borrowed dialogue snippets from Hal Hartley's Simple Men that make the most salient, emotionally complicated points. "Chesil Beach" isn't exactly a re-telling of Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach, but, despite it being a reasonably elegant closer in its own right, Isakkson's attempt to borrow weight from McEwan's novel via title comes across as kind of desperate.
"I said I'd give an eye for you / but that was just a lie / I said I'd be The Catcher in the Rye for you / but that was just a lie", Isakkson sings on "Catcher in the Rye". I suppose offering to be someone's art object of obsession is romantic in some sense, but this gets to the heart of the problem with this superficially appealing, but strangely empty breakup album. The complicated history of Catcher in the Rye obsessives aside, Rule of Thirds posits that a desired means of establishing emotional rapport is through shared cultural enthusiasms, and this is reflected in its musical reliance on artists that Isakkson loves. But by cloaking himself in their sounds and by presenting his thoughts through a thick filter of name-drops and influences, we never truly get to know him.

Syracuse Blasts West Virginia In The New Era Pinstripe Bowl
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — Prince-Tyson Gulley rushed for two touchdowns while catching another, and the Syracuse Orange cruised to a 38-14 victory over West Virginia in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
The junior runningback had 265 total yards and three scores to pace Syracuse (8-5), who never trailed in this matchup of former conference rivals.
The Orange were glad to establish a run game on a day when throwing conditions weren't the greatest. Snow fell for the majority of the game, which means both quarterbacks struggled. Ryan Nassib threw for only 127 yards but added two touchdowns and one interception.
Senior quarterback Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes for West Virginia (7-6), but was also sacked twice in the endzone for a pair of safeties. The Mountaineers got off to a hot 5-0 start in their first season in the Big 12 but went on a 2-6 slide to end the year.
The Orange won six of their final seven games and will start play in the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.

text: As some of you have learned from my previous posts, I am an avid scuba diver in the Seattle area, where we have two common species of octopus (E. dofleini and O. rubescens). Encountering either species is ALWAYS a treat, although not at all uncommon, as we usually see at least one on every dive we do. On rare occasions, however, we get lucky and have a physical interaction with one. That's such a treat! Every time this has happened for me, I will place my hand next to the octo and allow it, if it is so inclined, to explore my gloved had and drysuit. That means that I always have allowed the octopus to initiate contact with me, instead of me grabbing it. I have heard rumored that it's very bad for the octopus for a diver to touch the octopus - that apparently the octopuses have a mucous coating that a diver's glove (especially neoprene) can damage, which could harm the octo. :( Can anyone definitively say if that is true or not? Any advice on handling an octopus underwater? I am unconcerned about being bitten - I have never seen an octopus behave in a way I would consider to be aggressive, and I guess if I do get bit I deserve the consequences and accept that as a risk (and I don't think an O. rubescens could bite through my glove or suit anyway.... though I am certain a GPO could). Anyway - I love the encounters I have with them in the wild, but would hate it if I was accidentally harming one of them. Any advice? TIA. -david

Washington National Cathedral to charge admission. Facing a $26 million earthquake repair bill and years of financial woes, the iconic Washington National Cathedral will start charging visitors in 2014. Adults will be charged $10, and seniors, students, children, veterans and members of the military will be charged $6, cathedral officials announced. Regular worship services and Sundays will remain free of charge. The ticket plan is scheduled for a six-month trial run starting in January. An earthquake in August 2011 damaged the cathedral's central tower, flying buttresses, decorative finials and intricate stonework. To date, the cathedral has raised $10 million toward its $26 million repair bill. The cathedral has hosted three presidential state funerals—Eisenhower, Reagan and Ford—and six presidential inaugural prayer services, as well as other services to mark important milestones. It is the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and the unofficial national home of the Episcopal Church. In 2012, the cathedral attracted 400,000 visitors beyond regular worship services.
Atheists challenge IRS over nonprofit finances. Atheists are challenging the Internal Revenue Service's special exemptions for religious organizations in a federal court in Kentucky, saying churches and other religious groups should follow the same financial rules as other nonprofit groups. If they prevail, it will change the tax-exempt status of churches and other religious organizations, and require the same transparency of donors, salaries and other expenditures that secular nonprofits currently must meet. The case centers on who must file IRS Form 990, an annual reporting statement that provides information on a group's mission, programs and finances. Current tax law requires tax-exempt organizations except churches and church-related organizations—and a few other organizations whose annual revenues fall below stipulated amounts—to file a Form 990 financial report. By treating religious organizations differently than other organizations, the IRS policy violates the First Amendment and the due process promised under the Fifth Amendment, the suit claims. The suit argues religious organizations receive preferential treatment because they do not have to withhold income tax from compensation to clergy, reveal staff salaries or disclose the names of donors who give more than $5,000.
Pope and Putin talk privately. The Vatican called a much-heralded summit between Pope Francis and Russian President Vladimir Putin "constructive" and "cordial," even though there was little immediate indication it would lead to further dialogue. The 35-minute closed-door meeting focused on Syria, as expected, an area where Francis and Putin are unexpected allies. A brief Vatican communique on the meeting said the two discussed the need for a diplomatic solution to the bloody conflict there, while also expressing concern for Christians in the war-torn country. Putin also conveyed greetings from Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, a small sign of the continued thaw in the traditionally icy relations between Moscow and the Vatican.

It also contains Dragon Age II and its "Black Emporium" DLC, included as standard with new copies of the game.
The questionable font on the "packshot" makes this look like it's a Gamersgate-specific offer rather than an EA/Bioware bundle, but we're waiting for the official word on the matter. Watch this space for an update. If it does turn out to be an official bundle, then it seems rather soon after the release of Dragon Age II to put out such a compilation.
Thanks to @SpaceDrakeCF on Twitter for spotting this.

Over the last few months, Facebook has been hard at work pushing their mobile app expansion, as well as further developing their mobile communications. In doing so, the company has adopted a "mobile first" approach that has seen a number of additions and expansions to their line of mobile communicative features. One area in which the company has done this is through their Messenger app. Now, in an attempt to broaden their services even further, the social network mogul has turned its focus on voice calls and voice messages.
As of an update made available Thursday, January 3rd, users of Facebook's Messenger app for both iOS and Android platforms can now send and receive voice messages via the Messenger app. The feature gives users the ability to record and send voice messages of up a minute's length to friends via Facebook. The process is simple, tap the "+" button and then hold the "record" button to record your message. The focus on voice messages comes from the company's want to give users more options for interacting, especially when typing is unavailable or inconvenient. As a result, Facebook has begun to implement mobile features that expand upon their traditional messaging services
In addition to this voice messaging service, Facebook has also implemented a number of VoIP capabilities within the Messenger app; however, they are currently only available to Canadian users. Located behind the "I" icon located in the chat window, the social network is now offering users a way to make free voice calls to friends. While this again currently only works in Canada and only on the iOS app, the company is working to widen the availability.
This free calling expansion demonstrates Facebook's ambitions in mobile communications. As the company continues to develop its Messenger app, voice message and VoIP services are becoming readily available. While other mobile apps such as Skype and Google Voice offer voice calling functionality, Facebook looks to do this within their service. The social network aims to have users send text messages and make phone calls without leaving to a rival service.

Moved to Australia? Here's how to send more money back home.
If you've moved to Australia and want to send money overseas then there are exchange rates and fees to think about.
Fortunately there are ways to pay no fees and get better exchange rates. Find a foreign money transfer service with no fees which will also match competitor's exchange rates, and make each dollar go further.
Send money home using a transfer service
Want to speak to an FX expert instead?
Save money on your personal or business international money transfer today. Fill in the form and you'll be contacted by a foreign exchange expert to have an obligation-free discussion about your options. Our foreign exchange experts offer a best rate guarantee, are ASIC authorised and never charge transfer fees.
They can help you with all your needs including:
- Buying property abroad
- Emigrating
- Regular overseas payments
- Risk management
- Forecasting
Should I use a bank or an international money transfer company?
- International currency transfer services make their profits from many currency exchanges at small margins and small fees to cover costs. Their exchange rates are usually 1-2% less than midmarket rates, which means they make about that much on currency changed. Their income depends on offering great deals to attract a lot of users.
To stay profitable they usually have minimum amounts that can be sent per transaction.
- Bank overseas currency transfers make their profits from fees for everything and currency exchanges at big margins (worse rates). Its exchange rates are usually 2-4% less than midmarket rates, meaning they make about that much on currency changed plus all their fees. They income depends on making as much money per transaction as possible.
Because they have so many fees, banks do not have any minimum amounts per transaction but smaller sums may be entirely lost to fees.
This is how international currency transfer services are able to offer much better value for money.
If you want to make international money transfers then you may want to consider avoiding banks. In many cases you can only use banks for transfers when you have an account with them and you will end up paying whatever rates and fees they demand, wait for however long it might take, and have fewer options for sending and collecting.
Dedicated currency transfer services have more choices so you can compare options to find the best, then transfer money overseas with no fees, great rates and collection options that work for the recipient, whether it's cash, cheque or a direct transfer to their bank account.
|Money transfer service
Bank fees are BIG
Bank fees mean you might spend hundreds of dollars on just one transaction. The fees might be more than the amount of money you are sending.
- Fees for sending: They will typically charge you a flat $20-30 fee.
- Fees for changing currency: Not only are the conversion rates worse, but they may charge another flat fee for converting the currency which can be around $30.
- Fees for processing: If the money is being sent to a different banking company they will charge additional processing fees, generally $10-30 depending on the situation.
- Fees for receiving: The person you are sending money to will have to pay another fee to pick it up. This is typically more if they are in a different country and using a different currency, and can be over $30. They will also have to pay the separate fees of whichever bank they are using.
- Extra fees if you want to pay the receiving fees: If you, the sender, want to pay for the recipient's bank fees then you can, but this incurs a "correspondent fee" of $40 or more.
- Fees for tracing the transfer: If you want to find out how much longer the transfer will take, or if it did not arrive and you want to find out what happened to it then the bank will look into it if you pay another $25.
- Fees for amending the transfer: Need to change some details of the transfer? You can for another $25 fee.
- Cancellation fees: If you have realised the fees are too high and want to cancel the transfer then you can. This will incur another $25 fee.
Currency transfer service fees are small
International money transfer services have small fees.
- No fees at all: Many providers will charge you zero fees.
- Set fees: Some providers require you to pay a flat $5-15 in fees per transfer.
Any other fees?
If the money has to be transferred through banks on the way to its destination, then these banks might each take a cut. This is beyond the control of international money transfer services, but at least they won't also charge you an extra correspondent fee for it.
How do I set up regular overseas payments?
If you want to set up regular money transfers, such as every week or fortnight, then you can. This is sometimes one of the first things people do when they have just moved to Australia and found a new job. Many currency transfer services let you do this online, over the phone or in person.
- Banks may charge administration fees for setting up regular payments
- Banks apply hefty flat costs to each transaction
- Banks will usually charge extra for amending payment schedules
- Banks offer poorer exchange rates on each transaction
- Most international money transfer providers will set up regular payments without any fees
- Many money transfer companies will not apply any flat fees to transactions
- Money transfer companies will typically let you adjust payment schedules free of charge
- International currency transfers bring good exchange rates to every transaction
If you want to set up regularly scheduled overseas payments then resist using a bank. Currency transfer services are simply better when sending overseas.
Fees for receiving money into your bank account
- Banks will charge you fees just for receiving money internationally
- International currency transfer services have no fees for the recipient
If you are in Australia receiving money from someone overseas, such as if you are still finding your feet after arriving, then your Australian bank will charge a flat fee, typically over $10 each time, just for collecting the money, plus flat currency exchange fees.The worse international currency exchange rates offered by banks, compared to transfer services, also mean more money is lost along the way. Bank transfers can generally only be paid into your account with fees automatically deducted.
However when you receive money with an international currency transfer service it can be deposited directly into your bank account without any extra fees and at better exchange rates while some providers will let you collect it as cash or a cheque.
Don't let your overseas acquaintances send money with a bank. Ask them to use an international currency transfer service instead so you don't have to pay any fees.
How to compare international money transfer services
Send more money overseas with currency transfer services and find the provider that's right for your needs by comparing a few simple things.
Find a provider that works for you by making sure they accommodate your minimum transfer amount, required transfer speed and services available. After that, compare their rates and fees against the amount you are sending to find out which is more cost-effective.
Finding the right money transfer company can be as simple as that.

Jennifer's money transfer plans
Jen had just moved to Australia with a new job lined up for her. Her new income was more than enough to pay her modest bills and living expenses, so she wanted to set up a regular transfer of money back home to America to pay for her father's growing medical needs. Her plan was to transfer $1,000 every month, to be converted into American dollars.
Jennifer's first thought was to go to her bank. She looked at their options, then looked at their fees and realised it would take a big bite out of the money she sent. Casting around for other options, she soon discovered a typical international money transfer service. To compare both side by side, she drew up this table.
Sending AUD1,000 per month
|The bank
|Money transfer service
|Exchange Rates
|USD$0.72 per AUD
|USD$0.76 per AUD
|AUD$40 per transaction
|AUD$10 per transaction
|How much money arrives back home each month
|How much arrives in a year
Using a money transfer service instead of the bank meant that over the course of a year Jen sent an additional USD$734.40 home, a difference of about a thousand Australian dollars. It was a whole month's difference.
Jennifer compared all the banks she could find, and all the money transfer services she could find, and found similar differences across the board. Her mind was made up, and she resolved never to use banks for international currency transfers as long as there was a single good money transfer service.
How to do an international currency transfer
For seamless international money transfers, follow these steps.
- Know the details of the bank account you want to send money to. This might be your own bank account outside of Australia, or the account of someone you are paying. To transfer money to an account you must know the recipient's SWIFT/BIC code, which indicates the country and location of the receiving bank, as well as the BSB and account number which specify the individual bank account. You can find SWIFT/BIC codes online or by contacting the bank, and should get the BSB and account number from whoever you're sending money to.
- Compare the international currency transfer options. They may have different exchange rates, different minimum transfer amounts and possibly some fees. To compare effectively you should know the currencies to be converted, the amount you are sending and how quickly it needs to arrive. Rule out the options that are too slow, don't exchange the currencies you need or have other problems, and then compare the remaining by price.
- Contact your chosen international money transfer service. You will generally need to open an account with them. Once you have, all you need to do is give them the SWIFT/BIC codes, BSB and account number of the recipient and they can transfer money efficiently and without hassle. Their fees are usually minimal, and they will tell you if there are any additional costs.
- You can now send money overseas without losing huge chunks of it to bad exchange rates or sizeable fees. Do it online or over the phone, set up automatic transfers and make use of any discounts available. You're now good to go!
Did you have these questions around expat money transfers?
Are international money transfer services safe?
Yes. Many large money transfer services use the same electronic security systems as the banks. There is no undue risk when using a reputable and well-known money transfer service.
How long does it take to transfer money?
Banks will typically give a timeframe of anywhere from two to five business days. Money transfer services will typically tell you exactly how long it will take, generally either one or two days.
What is the best money transfer service?
It depends on where you want to send money, how much you are sending and the situation. Larger sums mean it's worth paying a fee for a better rate, while smaller sums mean it's not. If you need it transferred quickly a fast provider is preferable while certain currencies or locations might be better with certain companies than others. Compare options to find the best money transfer service for your needs.

Hmm, I never noticed that before. This is the software's attempt at coding the accent mark over the e in the French "cafe" (on my computer it says "&eaccent") That's what we get for trying to be cosmopolitan, LOL.
Do you still get directed to the right page if you click on it?
Does it take you to the right page if you return to it using the IE toolbar dropdown menu? (On my computer it doesn't say "cafe" at all, just /forumdisplay.php?f=10.)
Does it show up correctly (e with an accent) on the main page of the forum?

Health 2.0: eHealth Needs Hardware, Too
You think eHealth is all about the apps and software? While it is true that the vast majority of eHealth tools featured at the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco exist only online or in smartphones and devices, there were several devices folks can actually touch at the show.
Although most of the devices are aimed at consumer end-users, there are benefits to healthcare organizations. For example, devices that allow patients to share their data can help docs track patients after discharge, allowing them to intervene if a patient shows signs deterioration--possibly heading off a visit to the ER or a readmission.
Rehabilitate in a box
Vlad Shlosberg, Roderick Escobar and Sheetal Shah won the conference's code-a-thon contest with a device they call simply "The Box." A Microsoft Kinect gaming system, equipped with motion-sensor technology, tracks patients recovering from cardiac events as they perform rehabilitation exercises.
Doctors can check in on results through a tablet application that records the information and a video conferencing tool lets doctors and patients conduct remote visits. The portable device is encased in a hard-shell pelican case--a healthcare organization could rent or lend it to a patient until rehab is complete.
The box is also budget-friendly. Over the two-day code-a-thon, team members, all employees of tech firm Avanade, dashed through the city to buy about $470 worth of parts and supplies, passing through the notoriously free-spirited Folsum Street Fair on the way.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
I don't really care about the stain, but can I get rid of the odor without getting rid of the stain?
I used another product that I got on Amazon which I can't recall the name of. It doesn't seem to be in existence anymore. I have now been using Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. It has Oxygen Bleach in it. As I also said, I have tried regular clorox bleach by just pouring it in the tub around the gasket. Is afresh different than the things I have tried?
Thank you so much. I will try it.

194 – 196 Clarinda Street, Parkes
Back in the early 1940's a group of gentlemen used to gather at the back of a store, which in those days was made of tin and whilst enjoying a few drinks came up with the idea to start the Parkes Leagues Club.
In 1954 applications were lodged and on the 27th May 1955 the Parkes Leagues club was formed, and the same old tin shed founder used to have beers then became the foundations for the Parkes Leagues Club
Over many years the club developed and expanded and in the 1970's the Parkes Leagues Club was developed into the 2 story building which you see today
The club has always been committed to supporting the Parkes Community and continues to donates in excess of $50000 each year to local sporting groups, charities and community organizations
In 2004 the club amalgamated with the Jets Sports Club located in Tempe NSW but still maintains its own identity as the Parkes Leagues Club and functions as an independent organization.
The club also proudly supports many sporting organizations. The Parkes Spacemen are the first to call the Parkes Leagues club home, along with many hockey, cricket, soccer, darts, golf and many more sporting organizations in Parkes
In 2010 the club renamed the clubs auditorium. This room is now known as the Robert Wilson Auditorium. The auditorium was renamed on behalf of the late Robert Wilson, past mayor of Parkes who in 2004 worked tireless with Mr Terry Rowney to ensure that the Parkes Leagues Club remained open and an essential part of the Parkes Community The Club is the biggest entertainment venue in Parkes. The clubs function facilities are second to none. The club can support all types of events from small board meetings to large concerts of 600 people. There are a range of rooms available and something to suit everyone's needs
The club is situated in the main street of Parkes and welcomes all visitors to town
