ABINGTON, Mass., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- An Abington, Mass., mother said she found her 7-month-old son listed for sale on Craigslist in an international adoption scam.
"Out of the blue some girl e-mailed us and said 'I think you should know someone's using Jake's picture,'" Jenni Brennan told WCVB-TV, Boston, in a story published Monday.
Brennan clicked the link in the e-mail and found a Craigslist ad that said a "cute baby boy" was available for adoption. Playing detective, Brennan said she sent a message to the address listed and quickly received a photo of her son, Jake.
The picture had been lifted from their family blog, Brennan said, calling the incident "horrifying."
The e-mail said the boy pictured was Canadian born, living at an orphanage in Cameroon and that Brennan could begin the adoption process for $300, she told the FBI and the state attorney general's office.
Brown now has restricted access to her family blog, while Yahoo officials told her they have shut down the e-mail account used in the posting.

Hey it's David Dean. This story is awesome. Earlier this week, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Paul Baier made a deal with his 14-year-old daughter Rachel. If she quit Facebook completely until the end of June, he'd pay her $200. She gets $50 in mid-April and the other $150 on June 26th. They even signed a contract. On the part of the contract where Rachel says how she'll use the money, she wrote, quote, "stuff."
Paul says this was Rachel's idea. Quote, "She wants to earn money and also finds Facebook a distraction and a waste of time sometimes." But she does plan to get back on Facebook once the five months are over.
So… do you think you could do it?? Five months is a LONG time!

RPGWatch - Game of the Year 2012 Awards
View Single Post
January 10th, 2013, 06:02
I had to vote 'Inquisitor', as it was the only game on the list I played. And it was a good rpg, though I'm still playing it and have not finished it yet. Well, I did briefly play Diablo 3, but it was not something I thought was anything noteworthy.
The rpgs I'm looking forward to, in rough order of anticipation, top to bottom:
Chaos Chronicles
Divinity: Original Sin
Legends of Dawn
Eschalon: Book III
Nuclear Union
Grim Dawn
Wasteland 2
I think there are several promising and exciting rpgs on the horizon, after a long dry spell.

Frequently Asked Questions]
How many student organizations does Baylor have?
ANSWER: Baylor University currently recognizes 330+ student organizations. Review our Student Organization List to learn more about the different groups that are available to you.
What types of organizations does Baylor offer?
ANSWER: Baylor offers Academic/Professional, Honor societies, Political, Greek, Departmental, Religious, Special Interests, Music/Performing Arts, Service, and Spirit/Sport/Recreational organizations...so that's why there are so many organizations!
How can I become a member of an organization?
ANSWER: Every organization has a different way of accepting new members. Many are open to all students, allowing anyone interested to participate in activities. Others require an application and/or interview process. Still others-fraternities and sororities in particular-require potential members to go through a rush and pledge period. Lastly, most academic organizations require particular credentials (completed credit hours, GPA, etc.) in order to be an official member.
Am I allowed to be a member of an organization when I'm a freshman?
ANSWER:Yes! The majority of our organizations allow Freshmen members as early as their first semester of full-time enrollment at Baylor. However, for our Greek organizations, Baylor uses a deferred recruitment system, meaning you have to wait until your second semester to pledge a Greek organization. For more information, visit the Greek Life website.
How can I find the organization that's right for me?
ANSWER: The Division of Student Life provides several opportunities for new students to check out our Student Organizations. At Late Night, held at the beginning of each fall semester, students can browse booths that have been set up by organization members while enjoying free food, games, and door prizes. Also in early fall is the Mosaic Mixer, a showcase of all multicultural organizations on campus. This event is a great chance to check out multicultural clubs and Greek organizations, as well as to enjoy skit and stomp performances by each group.
Is there an additional cost to be a member of an organization?
ANSWER: It depends upon the organization. Some organizations require no membership fees or dues. Others have dues that may be either optional or mandatory. Still others require significant payments from members each semester. Be sure to be informed about financial obligations for members BEFORE accepting initiation into a group.

HALIFAX -- If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But what if half of it definitely ain't broke and the other half isn't that far from being a total train wreck?
What if one half is one helluva hockey team that you don't dare touch and the other half isn't that far from being a bust?
Delicate surgery is required.
The players aren't paid to be here. They are giving up a month to play for their country. Hockey Canada goes out of the way to make sure this is a highly enjoyable experience for everybody.
They want them back. Nobody gets yelled at or dressed down. With this team, you have to be real, real careful not to queer what's right by trying to fix what's wrong.
There was a lot right with Canada's 5-4 win over the USA in the first litmus test of the World Championship. And a lot wrong. There was plenty of character and emotion and that one big line which is absolutely dominating the tournament and won the game in the final seconds.
But when coach Ken Hitchcock and his Team Canada coaching staff left the Halifax Metro Centre after the game, they clearly came to the conclusion that the negatives revealed Canada isn't going to become the first host country to win the IIHF World Championships since the Soviet Union in 1986 without some surgery.
If this was a third of the way through the regular season in the NHL, the coach could blow a gasket, dress down players, ask the GM to make a trade and still have plenty of time before the playoffs. But this is a short tournament.
Which is where Hitchcock and coaching staff find themselves today as they begin play in Phase II of the tournament against teams from the other Halifax-based pool.
The night before, in the interview room, Hitchcock telegraphed that there was more than a little tinkering to be done after the revealing game against the Americans. He has a team with the most dominating line in the tournament in Dany Heatley, Ryan Getzlaf and Rick Nash. But the rest of the lines are a mess and a few of the defensive pairings went wonky as well.
"You start off this tournament asking players to play and sometimes begging players to play," said Hitchcock. "You get in a game like this, you're not asking, you're not begging, you're not demanding. You're back coaching.
"These are our players and we're going to coach them to another level. No matter what the guy's career was and no matter what the guy did during the season, what he is today is what you're coaching. That's the way you have to deal with it."
Somebody, overnight, talked Hitch down.
While action speaks louder than words and Jason Spezza's demotion to the fourth line after his ice time dropped to 9:50 in the U.S. game, there's every indication moves are being made to change the chemistry on lines and defensive pairs without messing up the rest of it. But Hitchcock's words had lost their edge overnight.
He said he's not trying to spank players.
"Nudge," he said. "This is different hockey here. It's a different game here. It's at a different pace. When the game gets intense some players revert back to what they know in the NHL. Certain guys play one way and certain guys play another way. Players want to slow it down when they can't slow it down. That game against the U.S. was a real eye-opener."
Hitchcock said this is about the coaches as much as the players. They have to coach them up.
"We found out we can't just do it on video. We spent all 50 minutes showing it to them on the ice at practice. We showed it on video. It didn't take. We had to practise it.
"We have great spirit. We have great character. We love it. But we have to play better. Games are coming where you have to rely on good play."
Assistant coach Pat Burns said Hitchcock is the perfect coach for the challenge ahead.
"We have to fix little things in little areas and still be positive about all the good points. How many goals have we scored in three games? Seventeen? We found what we wanted with the Getzlaf line right off the go. We have to fix the second, third and fourth lines. I don't think it's broken. But what we have to fix, we have to fix carefully. Hitch does a real good job at that."

Update to Fun, Fun, Fun
By Gary on
Vehicle2011 Nissan Juke SL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
ReviewI have had my car for a few weeks now. First a correction, it only has 5 'gears' when you shift the CVT in NORMAL mode, not six. Second, I am getting better mileage than earlier. I am getting 23-25 mixed and I got 30+ with mostly highway. My guess is that you can get 30+ on a level highway easily. Still love it. Motor Trend ranked it as a finalist in SUV of the Year, but it lost out to a $70+k Porsche. The Porsche can't be this much fun.
Best FeaturesSame as in my Fun, Fun, Fun review. If your driver's window is not automatic up, check out the owner's manual to set it to automatic. This is a great, great car.
Worst FeaturesNow that I am learning more about using a combo of NORMAL when I need to REALLY accelerate and ECO the rest of the time, my gas mileage is fine. Thus no improvement to make it better.

Liriano, Twins come to terms on one-year deal
Minnesota avoids arbitration with lefty, who signs $4.3 million pact
By Spencer Fordin / MLB.com
Liriano and the club managed to split the difference between their respective salary proposals, leaving Delmon Young as the club's lone remaining arbitration-eligible player.
Liriano, who requested $5 million and was offered $3.6 million as part of the arbitration process, went 14-10 with a 3.26 ERA last year en route to his designation as the American League's Comeback Player of the Year. The left-hander posted scoreless streaks of 23 and 21 innings last season, and he also set a personal best by winning eight straight decisions.
The season was a triumphant one for Liriano, whose once-promising career had been derailed by an elbow injury. The southpaw, who was originally acquired along with Joe Nathan from San Francisco in exchange for A.J. Pierzynski, went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA for Minnesota in 2006, but wound up sidelined and with a need for ligament replacement surgery.
Liriano missed all of the 2007 season while recovering from the corrective procedure, and he experienced mixed results upon his return in '08. Liriano worked to a 5.80 ERA while shuttling between starting and relief roles in '09, and then snapped back to success last year, when he logged more strikeouts (201) than hits allowed (184) over 31 starts.

Horoscope for Dec. 5
January 5, 2010
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It's wonderful how much your gregariousness can contribute socially to your group involvements, but be careful not to hog the stage and make everything all about you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Small details can be your undoing, especially if you're careless in handling your business affairs. To be on the safe side, double-check all facts and figures before committing yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — No one can please all the people all the time, so remember this when you run into someone who fits the bill. Once you've figured this out, don't waste your time on this person.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Monitor your conversations carefully with regard to work-related issues. A spy could be in your midst, and this person will be just waiting to carry the information you impart back to your competitors.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Any tips you get through social contacts are likely to be detrimental to you if they should turn out to be faulty, which is likely to be the case. Rely only on facts that can be verified.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Before passing on information provided as fact, verify what you've been told. There is a lot of misinformation around that could be damaging if used.
Recommended Stories For You
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even if you are likely to exercise great discipline over your savings and investments, you could still be extremely careless with cash in hand. A lot of incidental spending could hurt you big time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Most agreements have more far-reaching effects than we realize, both good and bad. This day could produce just such an example, so be particularly careful about what you do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unless you take the time to think before you act, there's a good chance you could make things harder on yourself than necessary. Don't turn something simple into a big mess.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This could be one of those days where everything turns into an unproductive activity that wastes valuable time and assets. Save yourself a big headache — plan your moves first.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unfortunately, unless you plan your schedule and stick to it closely, this could turn out to be an extremely unproductive day. Remember, time can never be recovered.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It could turn out to be rather embarrassing if you talk about things as a fait accompli. Toot that trumpet only after achieving your goals.

Enactment of Insurance Reform in Texas Good for ConsumersDec. 10, 2004
Baylor Expert Says Insurance Will Become a 'Better Deal'
A Baylor University insurance and finance professor says the state of Texas took a "sorely needed step" yesterday in the direction of more competitive insurance markets by adopting an alternative rate regulation protocol known as "File and Use" in place of "Prior Approval."
Dr. James R. Garven, The Frank S. Groner Memorial Chair of Finance at Baylor's Hankamer School of Business, says under "Prior Approval," insurance companies had to submit proposed rate changes to the state insurance regulator for formal approval. The new "File and Use" protocol, which was enacted Dec. 1, requires that rate changes be submitted to the state insurance regulator, but they do not require formal regulatory approval.
"Both insurers and consumers tend to be better off under competitive markets than under rate regulation," Garven says. "Over time, consumers can expect to see lower insurance rates and enhanced availability, which will cause insurance to become a 'better deal.'"
Garven regularly contributes to a weblog called "RMI@Baylor," which offers insights, information and research concerning issues of risk management, insurance and related subjects. The address for this online resource is http://rmi.baylor.edu/blog.
Garven can be reached directly at (254) 710-6207 or at email@example.com.

THE MINIMALIST; Fresh Pasta At Ferrari Speed
By Mark Bittman
Published: January 26, 2005
IF you routinely make fresh pasta, you can stop reading now. Everyone else -- probably about 99.9 percent of you -- read on.
Few things are better to eat than fresh pasta. (We're not addressing health aspects here, simply enjoyment.) Loaded with eggs, bound gently by flour, readily accepting and easily enhanced by just about any sauce you can think of from warmed olive oil with garlic or melted butter with Parmesan to the most complicated stew of shredded meat, it's incomparable.
Unfortunately, unless you live in Italy, it's probably not a part of your daily life. Most of the ''fresh'' pasta sold in stores lacks the charm of the real thing, and even most devoted home cooks consider making fresh pasta a once in a while, rainy day kind of thing, a special occasion dish rather than a reliable standby.
This changes the moment you expand your definition of fresh pasta from tagliatelle and tortellini to, well, cooked paste (which is what it literally means), a dough of flour and egg and whatever else you choose to add. (Dried pasta typically contains no egg and is only rarely made at home, even in Italy.) Because it isn't preparing the dough that makes pasta time-consuming; what takes time, effort and even precision, is rolling it out in a pasta machine and cutting it precisely. (When you get to stuffing it, you're talking about a serious project.)
But if you eliminate the machine, you've eliminated the most severe challenge. The simplest, most basic, and arguably best pasta dough is flour, salt and egg. (Within limits, the more egg the better.) This dough takes five minutes to make by hand and about 90 seconds to make in a food processor, and can be made successfully, I swear, on the first try.
If you take that basic pasta dough, you can quickly roll it out and cut it into random shapes, a process that'll take you 15 or 20 minutes. Even easier, you can take small pinches of it and drop them directly into boiling water, where it will cook like any other fresh pasta; at that point you can sauce it. Or you can pinch it directly into simmering broth to make a fast, fresh pasta soup that takes wonderfully to Parmesan. Yet another alternative is to divide the dough into three or four small balls and freeze them until they have the texture of semi-hard cheese (this takes about an hour), then grate on large holes directly into simmering water or broth.
Expand the concept of pasta a bit (and this is not cheating), and you arrive at spaetzle, the quickly made and rather thin dough (somewhat akin to savory pancake batter) that is often ''grated'' into boiling water on a spaetzle maker, a tool that looks like a grater without sharp edges. I find spaetzle makers unnervingly tricky, so I prefer to do what I've often seen done by Alsatians, for whom spaetzle is traditional: drop the batter by the spoonful into boiling water. As with all pasta, the more fragile the batter is, the lighter the result will be, so don't make it too stiff; just stiff enough to hold together.
Stretch things even further, and you arrive at the central European version of gnocchi, a raw potato dumpling. True gnocchi -- essentially mashed potatoes lightly bound by flour, with or without egg -- are not all that difficult to make, but they take time and practice. (O.K., maybe they are difficult to make. Certainly most restaurants don't even come close to the ideal.) These, which lack the elegance of gnocchi, have the advantage of being extremely quick and totally reliable: you grate raw, peeled potatoes and bind them with flour and egg. I like them best in tomato sauce but, like spaetzle, they're wonderful when browned in a pan (after boiling). The trick with these is to make sure the potatoes are cooked through; after the dumplings float to the surface, let them cook a little bit longer, then taste for doneness.
After boiling all three of these basic doughs can be treated as you would any pasta; what I've done here is provide the most basic ideas for saucing and serving. But I cannot think of an instance in which you could not use whatever sauce you prefer on ''real'' fresh egg pasta. The major difference is that these can be prepared on a hurried weeknight.
Fast Potato 'Gnocchi'
Time: 30 minutes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound potatoes, peeled
1 cup flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional.
1. Set a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. Grate or shred potatoes by hand or in a food processor. Combine with 1/2 cup flour and salt, pepper and eggs. Stir, adding enough flour to make a dough that will barely hold together when shaped with your hands.
2. Adjust heat so water simmers steadily. Make walnut-size dumplings with a spoon or your hand, and add to water. Cook for about 3 minutes after they float to surface, then taste one and make sure potato is cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon. (You can wrap or tightly cover and refrigerate these for up to a day at this point.)

Not so long ago I would've scoffed at the thought of Salem beating Clarke Central and Cedar Shoals in the same season. Like a tax break for the working class or Quincy Carter slinging a tight spiral, it just never seemed possible.

But that's the current opportunity before the Seminoles as they enter Billy Henderson Stadium tonight. Three weeks ago, they dealt Cedar Shoals its first shutout loss since 2000, upending the Region 8-AAAA perennial favorites 18-0.
The home win over Cedar Shoals was just one of four impressive victories that the Seminoles have recorded this season. Thanks to a smothering defense that's given up just two offensive touchdowns through five games, Salem has chewed up opponents more efficiently than a tree chipper.
"Their defense is for real," coach Scott Wilkins said a few days after the Jaguars' loss.

The funny part is that Salem was a laughing stock - not so long ago. The 13-year-old school boasts just one winning season and one playoff berth. Both came in 2002, the only season that Salem defeated Clarke Central.
In years past, a region championship was never a realistic goal, especially when the Seminoles lacked the athletic talent to compete with Clarke Central and Cedar Shoals.
But the Salem of 2004 is nothing like the Salem teams of yesteryear. The Seminoles have speed, strength and most of all, experience. Coach Frank Caputo's bunch features more than 22 seniors, including quick tailbacks Jayson Williams and DeShawn Thomas.
Meanwhile on Milledge, through four games, Clarke Central's offense has resembled Jabba the Hutt: it's sluggish, incoherent and downright ugly. The Gladiators' offensive shortcomings are almost too long to mention. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what's in store for Clarke Central. 'Noles get their fourth shutout, jet off to their first-ever region title and complete the Athens sweep. Seminoles 20, Gladiators 0.
More than a few fans in Oconee County have marked tonight's game against Stephens County on their calendars. Finally, the Warriors get a big-time chance to prove that they belong back in Region 8-AAA following a four-year absence. The Warriors made great strides against Winder-Barrow last week, specifically their offensive line. But Stephens County has the speed and power that the Warriors haven't seen since Willie Johnson and Jerry Willoughby left after the 1999 season, the last year the Warriors won a game in this series. Indians 14, Warriors 7.
Athens Academy's only wins over Lincoln County have come at Slaughter Field (1999 and 2001). That's something to be proud of, but the Class A No. 7-ranked Red Devils are coming off a momentous road win at Commerce. Save for their own Chris Rogers, the No. 6-ranked Spartans haven't seen a talented quarterback like Cord Coppin this season. Hopefully, for their sake, they won't see one again. Red Devils 28, Spartans 13.
In other games: Heritage over Cedar Shoals, Hart County over Apalachee, Elbert County over Franklin County, Monroe Area over Winder-Barrow, Rockdale County over Jackson County, Greene County over Josey, Morgan County over Laney, Loganville over Madison County, Whitefield Academy over Athens Christian.
Last week's record: 11-7
For the season: 52-21-1

This is a story about what happens when an Ubuntu local community meets great software and decides to help popularize it.
Gwibber. It's one of the gems that makes Ubuntu shine. If you're an avid Ubuntu contributor chances are that's something you already know. Maybe you even use it regularly. However, there are many new Ubuntu users and even some experienced ones who have yet to experience and enjoy Gwibber. What's holding them back?
The Ubuntu Vancouver Local Community believes that one barrier to the widespread adoption of Ubuntu's collection of outstanding software is a shortage of well-written and accessible user guides. The kind of guides that give a person reading it a sense of "Hey, this is pretty cool!" or "Wow, I didn't know Gwibber could do that!", or even "This is much easier than I thought".
So, back in the autumn of 2010, we set out to create the first guide to Gwibber on Ubuntu. With the help of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) we, Charlene Tessier and yours truly, identified a talented technical writer, Tak Ishikawa, to partner with us and to help make our dream a reality.
After many months of effort, I am happy to announce that our first version of "Master Social Networking with Gwibber" is complete and ready for your enjoyment.
From the guide: "It is impossible to read all the updates that we receive through all our networks... With Gwibber, we hope to help you gain control of your network so you can make it meaningful and relevant to you... We think social networking should be an enjoyable part of your life, not a micromanagement nightmare."
Grab a copy, give it a read, and share it with your friends. They will thank you, and Ubuntu will grow!
Speaking of thanks, please join me in thanking Tak Ishikawa and Charlene Tessier for a job well done by heading over to their blogs and sharing your comments. Check out: "Introducing the New Gwibber Guide" (Tak) and "Be Social on Your Own Terms" (Charlene) about the making of our guide.
And finally, a huge thanks to Ryan Paul, Ken VanDine, and team for making Gwibber rock!
All community members are invited to help make "Master Social Networking with Gwibber" even better and to get it into the hands of even more people. We've set up a Launchpad Bug to help track change requests, and to gather people interested in keeping this guide current. While there, please click "this bug affects me" to stay abreast of the effort. And, if you wish to help, please leave a note in the bug's comments.
Gwibber is an open source microblogging client for Linux. It brings the most popular social networking web services to your desktop and gives you the ability to control how you communicate.
The level of quality here is just exceptional, great job everyone.
Absolutely phenomenal work on the user guide, we have been really needing that.
I've been looking for volunteers to convert it to mallard so we could include it with gwibber as interactive help, but no luck yet. Anyone reading this that might be interested in working on that, let us know. You don't have to know mallard yet, I am sure we can find someone from the GNOME docs team to help with some coaching :)
Keep up the great work!
Thank you Randall and Charlene! Good job!

Fire fight aircraft grounded
Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles
Aircraft that could have helped to fight the Californian wildfires were grounded because of bureaucracy, it was claimed yesterday.
Politicians in San Diego, which suffered some of the worst devastation, criticised state officials for the red tape that kept 24 water-dropping helicopters and two cargo planes grounded.
It took a whole day for the Navy, Marine and California National Guard helicopters to get clearance to take off because of rules requiring all firefighting helicopters to be accompanied by state "fire spotters''.
By this time, the winds fuelling the fires had made it too dangerous to fly.
The spotter rule was eventually waived altogether on Wednesday, three days after the first fires broke out, when the area burned had more than quadrupled.
"When you look at what's happened, it's disgusting, inexcusable foot-dragging that's put tens of thousands of people in danger,'' said Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican congressman from California.
Aided by cooling temperatures, firemen were last night finally gaining control of all but the most stubborn pockets of the wildfires, which have killed at least nine people and forced more than a million from their homes this week.
The National Guard's two C130 cargo planes -- among the most powerful aerial firefighting tools -- could not join the fight because they were still awaiting the giant tanks needed to carry gallons of fire retardant, despite a promise made four years ago by Congress following a review of firefighting strategy.
Elton Gallegly, a Republican representative, described the delay, which has left the West Coast without any C130s capable of fighting fires, as ``an absolute tragedy, an unacceptable tragedy''. (©The Daily Telegraph, London)

Chiral Boronic Esters Coupled
Canadian researchers report the first example of cross-coupling chiral secondary organoboranes with retention of stereochemistry
Department: Science & Technology
ACS MEETING NEWS A powerful way to form C–C bonds is by way of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions employing air- and moisture-tolerant organoboranes. But examples of successful coupling reactions with secondary organoboranes are rare, and chiral versions are rarer still. Cathleen M. Crudden of Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario, has now devised the first example of the cross-coupling of chiral secondary boronic esters that proceeds with retention of stereochemistry (J. Am.

text: Another write up from Clark, originally posted on DW... --- This car was done several weeks ago but only getting round to posting it now It was only booked in for a 2 day correction as the swirls and marring were very very light so it only needed a 1 stage finishing polish (made a nice change! ) So up first was the pre-foam (Megs Hyperwash @ 60 degrees)... Then rinsed off (you can just about see the swirling circled)... I then cleaned the wheels and tyres with Menz 7.5 and the arches with Megs Superdegreaser before foaming the car again and washing with the 2BM and Shampoo Plus: After rinsing i put the car inside and went straight to claying as there were no big tar spots that warranted using Tardis this time. Meguiars Mild Detailing Clay and plain water was used for lube: A final rinse off followed and i then dried everything off with a waffle weave and the leaf blower. Once paint readings had been taken i then set about polishing out the minor defects - using Menzerna PO85RD and a 3M Finishing Pad @ 1500rpm's: The side skirts and lower halves of the bumpers were pretty swirly though so i stepped up to 4" a polishing pad & 106FF for these areas: I'd usually show a few before and after shots but in all honesty i couldnt capture much on camera and the paint was in extremely good condition prior to polishing After a dust down to remove any polishing dust i gave the car a complete wipe down with Menzerna Top Inspection. This removed any remaining polishing oils and left the paint squeaky clean :thumb: The Owner wanted Vintage as LSP so this was applied via a German Applicator Pad: While this cured i detailed the interior and fed the leather with Raceglaze Leather Balm, then cleaned the Glass with Megs Glass Cleaner Concentrate. The wheels were sealed with Poorboys Wheel Sealant and tyres dressed with Blackfire Long LAsting Tyre Gel. Tailpipes were polished up with Raceglaze's Metal Polish. One last wipe down followed, this time with Last Touch to remove any wax holograms and then i quickly snapped a few after shots (not a huge amount though as the Owner was in a bit of a rush and i had gone over my time limit slightly)

What is 'Investment Banking '
Investment banking is a specific division of banking related to the creation of capital for other companies, governments and other entities. Investment banks underwrite new debt and equity securities for all types of corporations, aid in the sale of securities, and help to facilitate mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations and broker trades for both institutions and private investors. Investment banks also provide guidance to issuers regarding the issue and placement of stock.
BREAKING DOWN 'Investment Banking '
Many large investment banks are affiliated with or subsidiaries of larger banking institutions, and many have become household names, the largest being Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank. Broadly speaking, investment banks assist in large, complicated financial transactions. This may include advice as to how much a company is worth and how best to structure a deal if the investment banker's client is considering an acquisition, merger or sale. It may also include the issuing of securities as a means of raising money for the client groups, and creating the documentation for the Securities and Exchange Commission necessary for a company to go public.
Investment banks employ investment bankers who help corporations, governments and other groups plan and manage large projects, saving their client time and money by identifying risks associated with the project before the client moves forward. In theory, investment bankers are experts in their field who have their finger on the pulse of the current investing climate, so businesses and institutions turn to investment banks for advice on how best to plan their development, as investment bankers can tailor their recommendations to the present state of economic affairs.
Essentially, investment banks serve as middlemen between a company and investors when the company wants to issue stock or bonds. The investment bank assists with pricing financial instruments so as to maximize revenue and with navigating regulatory requirements. Often, when a company holds its initial public offering (IPO), an investment bank will buy all or much of that company's shares directly from the company. Subsequently, as a proxy for the company holding the IPO, the investment bank will sell the shares on the market. This makes things much easier for the company itself, as they effectively contract out the IPO to the investment bank. Moreover, the investment bank stands to make a profit, as it will generally price its shares at a markup from the price it initially paid. Yet, in doing so the investment bank also takes on a substantial amount of risk. Though experienced analysts at the investment bank use their expertise to accurately price the stock as best they can, the investment bank can lose money on the deal if it turns out they have overvalued the stock, as in this case they will often have to sell the stock for less than they initially paid for it.
For example, suppose that Pete's Paints Co., a chain supplying paints and other hardware, wants to go public. Pete, the owner, gets in touch with Jose, an investment banker working for a larger investment banking firm. Pete and Jose strike a deal wherein Jose (on behalf of his firm) agrees to buy 100,000 shares of Pete's Paints for the company's IPO at the price of $24 per share, a price at which the investment bank's analysts arrived after careful consideration. The investment bank pays $2.4 million for the 100,000 shares and, after filing the appropriate paperwork, begins selling the stock for $26 per share. Yet, the investment bank is unable to sell more than 20% of the shares at this price and is forced to reduce the price to $23 per share in order to sell the remaining shares. For the IPO deal with Pete's Paints, then, the investment bank has made $2.36 million [(20,000 x $26) + (80,000 x $23) = $520,000 + $1,840,000 = $2,360,000]. In other words, Jose's firm has lost $40,000 on the deal because it overvalued Pete's Paints.
Investment banks will often compete with one another for securing IPO projects, which can force them to increase the price they are willing to pay to secure the deal with the company that is going public. If competition is particularly fierce, this lead to a substantial blow to the investment bank's bottom line. Most often, however, there will be more than one investment bank underwriting securities in this way, rather than just one. While this means that each investment bank has less to gain, it also means that each one will have reduced risk.

His style of writing reminded me of Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in 1 Corinthians13 written around 55CE. Paul was also in jail (house arrest) in Rome.
Dr. King concluded his letter:
Never before have I written a letter this long -- or should I say a book? I'm afraid that it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else is there
to do when you are alone for days in the dull monotony of a narrow jail cell other than write long letters, think strange thoughts, and pray long prayers?

If I have said anything in this letter that is an understatement of the truth and is indicative of an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything in this letter that is an overstatement of the truth and is indicative of my having a patience that makes me patient with anything less than brotherhood. I beg God to forgive me.

Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood.

In forty eight minutes he almost covered the entire Democratic Policy Platform. The only thing he did not get into was Foreign Affairs. He took a difficult situation, the $716 Billion savings from Medicare programs that resulted in essentially, rebates to the Medicare Program from hospitals, health care providers and health insurance consortiums as a result of some Medicare reforms, and moved the money into the Medicare general fund thereby making that program solvent until 2024. A news analyst on MSNBC, Ezra Klein, tried to explain this situation last week after fact-checking the Paul Ryan speech, on this very same subject. He admitted that it would be a difficult topic for the Democrats to explain but Bill Clinton pulled it off in a way ordinary people could understand. He finished that topic by saying "…after listening to Paul Ryan's speech [on Medicare] I didn't know whether to laugh or cry…! " That was a brilliant rhetorical "smack-down".

His speech was NOT divisive, nor sarcastic, nor hateful. It was uplifting, optimistic, and specific when it came to addressing the Party's major points. He methodically enumerated the Democratic Party's platform on at least a dozen specific issues. It was a Home Run for the DNC and when you compare to two conventions, the RNC was left way behind.

Marco Rupio, RNC, spoke about himself, his family and his modest beginnings and then spent two sentences at the end of his speech endorsing Mitt Romney. They were looking out for themselves in 2016 to be sure.

Gov. Suzanne Fernadez, New Mexico Republican, spoke all about herself and her family and how she guarded the church parking lot at night while her mother played bingo at church and how she carried a .357 Magnum hand gun and that brought the crowd to their feet. Would she use the gun on a kid stealing a car battery in the parking lot? I wonder, ummm.

Gov. Cris (El Gordo) Christie, NJ Republican could only talk about himself and his mom but left his dad completely out of the picture despite the fact that his dad was in attendance and the only living parent he had. He's unfit health-wise, and he's unfit politically for America, plain and simple.

High marks have to go to Anne Romney and her speech for her husband was a really good one. The DNC was honored by a genuine war heroine, Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee from the Iraq War. Her Blackhawk helicopter
was shot down by an RPG during combat ops in Iraq.

All in all, I think it was a "Home Run" of a convention and they easily out-classed the RNC, Hands down. How about another Dem heroine, Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords?

The Republicans claimed that the DNC speakers never mentioned God. Well, they said the Pledge of Allegiance every day and God was mentioned before anything else and Gabrielle Giffords came to recite the Pledge and took the entire arena down. What a moment In American Politics.

The RNC on the other hand, while the speakers talked all about their humble beginnings, they talked mostly about themselves and they almost forgot to mention the Candidate. Let's hope it translates into votes for the Dems.

He turned age 72 in January of 2012. He is not having a great year healthwise. He is the senior member of our family (I guess next to Uncle Warren, age 90). He was an important influence on my life when we were growing up. He's had ups and downs. I prefer to focus on the ups. It's tough out there. Always has been. Hang in there Big Billy. (I was always known as 'Little Godfrey').

Let's all stay focused. Let's keep our eye on the prize. Hope you enjoy the video.

How a violated tweeter actually behaves
A Democrat hacked the twitter account of Republican Speaker of the (Ohio) House, William Batchelder, this week. Batchelder, who isn't tech savvy and by his own admission didn't even know he had a twitter "device" at all, nonetheless took the appropriate action to deal with the offense.
Mike Dittoe, communication director for the House Republican caucus, said he got a call Monday night from a follower of Batchelder's Twitter account informing him of the unusual postings on the account.
Dittoe said he knew it had become a real problem when the liberal group ProgressOhio tweeted on Tuesday: "Wow!! Suddenly Bill Batchelder supports" and went on to list various liberal groups and causes, and a link to the fake tweets.
Among the fake tweets were those that promoted former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and criticized Republican Gov. John Kasich.
Dittoe said House GOP legal counsel Michael Lenzo worked with Twitter to get the account shut down and the posts erased.
Earlier this year, caucus staff worked with Twitter to have a fake Batchelder account shut down, Dittoe said.
Rep. Anthony Weiner is said to be one of the most tech savvy pols in Washington. Yet we are supposed to believe that it's reasonable of him not to shut his allegedly compromised twitter feed down. We're supposed to believe that it's reasonable of him not to call in the cops -- except to harass reporters as he did today -- or to work with twitter to resolve the issue. We're supposed to believe all this, and a whole lot more.
This miserable little creep is taking us all for fools. He is taking the media for fools, he is taking Gennette Nicole's irate mother for a fool, he is taking everyone for nothing but a bunch of fools.
Weiner should just do the honorable thing, probably for the first time in his life, and resign so as not to put the country through this ridiculous charade.

Does anyone know how I might make this (I have the ribbon and end pieces figured out, just not the necklace part)? What makes the beads turn in different directions? Are there extra knots or is it more complicated than that? Also, what kind of string might be appropriate to use?
Thanks for all your help!

BERLIN -- Heralded at its champagne-soaked launch in Jan. 1, 1999 as a rival to the almighty dollar, the euro was supposed to help unify Europe's nations into a global economic force -- a super-currency that would draw investors from around the world.
Instead, the euro has plunged on currency markets, shedding almost a quarter of its value since debuting. The embarrassing sell-off accelerated this past week, sparking government calls for calm among consumers nervous over the prospect of scrapping their marks, francs and lira for a single currency.
In some ways, the concern is premature: The euro is still just a bookkeeping tool for governments and businesses: it doesn't go into circulation until 2002. And the grand monetary experiment has already helped the economies of the 11 countries involved.
But the early setback clearly is humbling.
Warnings are heard about a ''crisis of confidence'' among those who will have to replace the money in their pockets. Die-hard euro opponents are renewing demands for the monetary union to be called off, while its key architects, like former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, remain conspicuously silent.
''Instead of dynamism for Europe, the euro has brought dynamite,'' said Wilhelm Hankel, one of four economics professors who went all the way to Germany's constitutional court in a futile attempt to stop the euro in 1998, saying a single currency violated German sovereignty.
Intended to reflect Europe's burgeoning strength and unity, the euro's weakness has highlighted disagreements in ''Euroland'' about who to blame and what should be done, if anything, to reverse the slide.
After the euro dipped below 90 cents to the dollar for the first time last week, the German government said it viewed the situation with ''great calmness'' and believed no action was required. But a day later, French Premier Lionel Jospin suggested ''a collective response'' by the European Union, the United States and Japan ''should be considered'' to restore confidence in the euro.
EU finance ministers plan to tackle the euro's problems at their regular monthly meeting on Monday.
Eleven out of 15 EU countries have adopted the euro: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Britain, Denmark and Sweden opted out.
Greece, which initially didn't have its fiscal house in order, got the OK from EU officials this past week to join the pack.
The invitation has to be confirmed by European leaders at their summit in June. But some analysts said the prospect of Greece, notorious for undisciplined finances in the past, coupled with the recent government turmoil in Rome, may have helped push the euro down in recent days.
Others, perplexed by the euro's dive, say economic fundamentals in the zone overall are rosy.
Inflation is still comfortably low at roughly 2 percent. Growth is catching up to the United States, with unemployment sinking for the first time in years. Corporate mergers are picking up pace and taxes are coming down.
''The long-term trends are very, very good,'' said Josef Joffe, co-publisher of Germany's respected Die Zeit newspaper.
Indeed, he added that much of the credit actually goes to the euro, which has created a huge domestic market for European producers similar to that U.S. companies enjoy. The underlying currencies have been fixed to the euro since its launch, insulating the businesses keeping their books in euros from currency swings and creating a broad new market for euro-denominated stocks and bonds.
Yet currency traders are instead looking to the United States, where dollar investors currently enjoy higher interest rates and a rocketing stock market.
The negative impact of the currency's dive is already hitting consumers.
Europeans could end up feeling shortchanged when traveling abroad, since they'll have to pay more for dollars when exchanging currencies. And prices of imports may rise in Europe, since it takes more euros to buy products from abroad.
Germany, which accounts for a third of Europe's economic might, under Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder also hasn't been showing the kind of leadership that Kohl did in promoting the euro and explaining its benefits to a skeptical population, said Angelika Volle, executive editor of Internationale Politik.
''This euro thing has never ever been an economic project, it's always been a political project,'' she said. ''We need political action.''

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for EMQ FamiliesFirst, Campbell, CA, USA
EMQ is a wonderful company focusing on the well-being of some of our most underpriveleged children as well as the concern of adult children as they exit out of the system. Foster care has a special place in my heart because my Mother was a foster child. She was and still is a wonderful woman who has taught me how to be a nurturing, loving Mother to my own 3 sons. EMQ makes sure that children are placed in safe, loving homes. Their children grow and thrive in an environment where they are cared for in the way that they deserve. Most go on to be adopted by their foster families and grow to become successful, independent adults. EMQ is truly a blessing!!
