I'll start us off with this one. These were taken from a bird blind in North Carolina. The owner of the property feeds the birds all sorts of wonderful treats and they come very close to the blind and perch on all sorts of beautiful perches he has. So, they were almost captive, but not quite.

Yes a Blanding's Turtle Lily, he just happened to pop his head up for a yawn actually. I figured since we don't have a wildlife caption thread.... Id just throw it in here...couldn't help myself lol. To finish the caption in whole...if you caught a fish to small to keep for dinner you would have to toss it back in the water...the Turlte is suggesting I toss the small fish to him, and he is fully confident he would "catch it" in his mouth.lol
Burd, that's a rare catch....not the fish but the pix of the Turtle, lol. I get to watch the pros. on tournaments (perhaps), they quickly toss those little fish back into the water without admiring them. Pooouyeee!!!
Burd, I love the little goslings! They are so cute. I didn't have a clue what the other critter was. Glad you and Lily cleared that up. What a great catch! There was a Black-crowned Night Heron that would hang out on the end of my Sister's dock in Galveston when we were fishing. He knew he'd get all the little ones and he never missed. It was fun watching him scarf down those fish.
LOL, Good ones Patti!!
Teehehehehehe! I especially like that one of the duck. Thanks Patti.
Awww, love those mother geese, their love for the little ones are so unconditional.

The story of Joseph and his brothers, recounted in the Book of Genesis, involves a great misdeed committed within a family and the forgiveness that eventually followed. Joseph, one of twelve sons of Jacob, was hated by his brothers due to the preferential treatment he received from his aging father. The brothers sold Joseph into slavery, but he eventually rose to wealth and high appointment in Egypt. In a perfect position to exact revenge on his brothers, Joseph instead chose to forgive them. Joseph's two sons would grow up to lead two of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Early Life
The account of Joseph's life, which takes place in Egypt, is recounted in the Book of Genesis. However dates of his life can only be approximated, as the Book does not mention any particular Pharaoh (ruler of Egypt). In addition, the Egyptian customs and manners which were depicted do not definitively identify any specific period in Egyptian history, although there are strong indications that it took place during the Hyksos era.
Joseph was born in Haran. He was the son of Jacob and Rachel. His name is either a contraction off Jehoseph or an abbreviation of Joseph-El. He was the eleventh son of Jacob and the first born of his mother, who was not able to have any children for a long period of time.
Joseph's brothers were born to Jacob from three other women: Leah, Bilhah, and Zilpah. Leah was the first of Jacob's wives (in this period and place, it was not unusual for men to have more than one wife). Bilhah was Rachel's servant, and Zilpah was Leah's servant.
Leah gave birth to Reuben, the first-born son, and then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Rachel wanted to have children so badly that she offered up her female servant Bilhah to Jacob, to be his wife, but for the sole purpose of bearing him children. Bilhah gave birth to Dan and Napthali. Zilpah gave birth to Gad and Asher. When Rachel was finally able to have children, she gave birth to Joseph. Later, she gave birth to Benjamin.
Jacob is estimated to have been ninety-one years old when Joseph was born. As a young boy, Joseph spent a great deal of time with his father, because his father was so old. As such, a strong love developed between Jacob and Joseph.
The Favorite Son
By the time he was seventeen years old, Joseph worked as a shepherd on his father's land in Canaan. His brothers did the same work, and all of them, including Joseph, worked equally hard. However, the other brothers did not like Joseph, as they could see that he was their father's favored son. The brother's jealousy festered when Jacob presented Joseph with a many-colored cloak. In addition, Joseph often reported to his father about some of the misdeeds his brothers committed.
Fueling his brothers' hatred, Joseph liked to relate his dreams, especially the ones that revealed he would become an important person one day. In one dream, even the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed down to Joseph. But the dream even annoyed Jacob, who admonished his son for revealing such a self-important vision. His brothers questioned him sarcastically, asking Joseph if he really believed he would one day rule over them or that one day they would bow before him.
Sold into Slavery
One time, Joseph's brothers went to a place called Shechem to do business for their father. Later, Jacob instructed Joseph to go check on his brothers. When Joseph did not find them in Shechem, he learned they went to Dothan. Joseph followed them, and when they spotted him, they conspired to kill him and toss his body into a pit. However, Reuben, the oldest brother, suggested they only throw Joseph in the pit and leave him there, where he would eventually die. That way, they wouldn't be responsible for his murder. The brothers agreed, but Reuben had only made the suggestion so that he could later return to the still-living Joseph and rescue him from the pit.
When Joseph approached his brothers, they overpowered him, took his coat, and then threw him into the pit. Afterward, they stopped to eat. While dining, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelite traders from Gilead. The sight gave Judah and idea: It would be better to sell Joseph into slavery, so that they could profit from their deed.
After selling Joseph for twenty pieces of silver, the brothers took the coat they had taken from him and smeared it with the blood of a slaughtered goat. The idea was to show it Jacob, to convince their father that the missing son had been killed.
When the brothers presented the manufactured evidence to their father, Jacob recognized the coat and surmised that an animal had killed his son. His grief was enormous, and he mourned for a long time.
Became a Favored Slave
In the meantime, Joseph was taken to Egypt, where he was bought by Potiphar, who was an officer and head of the kitchen of Pharaoh. As it turned out, Potiphar took a liking to Joseph, and he made him his personal attendant and placed him in charge of his household.
But Joseph ran into some trouble with Potiphar's wife. As Joseph was young, well-built, and handsome, she often tried to seduce him. However, Joseph consistently spurned her, telling her that he loyal to both Potiphar and to God.
Imprisoned on False Slander
One day, when Joseph was working inside the house, Potiphar's wife grabbed his coat. Frightened, Joseph ran from the house. Later, Potiphar's wife showed her husband the coat and claimed that Joseph had tried to seduce her. The outraged Potiphar sent Joseph to prison.
While in prison, the apparently likeable Joseph gained the friendship of the chief jailor, who placed Joseph in charge of all of the other prisoners. Two of the other prisoners included the Pharoah's butler and baker. One night, both of these men had strange, disturbing dreams, so they went to Joseph, who seemed to possess the ability to interpret dreams. Joseph told the butler that his dream meant that he would soon be released from prison and return to his previous position. Only three days later, the interpretation came true. As the butler was leaving, Joseph asked him to put in a good word for him to the Pharoah. The butler agreed, but later forgot about Joseph.
Attained High Position in Egypt
However, two years later, the Pharoah experienced troubling dreams that his magicians could not interpret. The butler remembered Joseph and told Pharaoh about him. Pharaoh sent for Joseph.
By now, Joseph was thirty years old. He listened to the Pharoah's dream and told the ruler that the dream predicted seven years of feast that would be followed by seven years of famine. In addition to the interpretation, he offered advice. He suggested that the Pharoah place a wise man in charge of all of the land who would organize the gathering and storage of food in preparation for the upcoming years of famine. The Pharoah was so impressed with Joseph's advice that he elevated the former prisoner to his second-in-command. Essentially, Joseph became that "wise man" who would plan for the famine. He was in placed in charge of gathering and storing grain for the upcoming famine, and his duties took him to cities all throughout Egypt. For his new position, Joseph received a ring, a gold necklace and fine clothes. Also, the Pharaoh gave him the Egyptian name Zaphenath-paneah and gave him a wife, Asenath, who was the daughter of the priest Potiphera. During these years, Asenath and Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Joseph Encountered Brothers in Egypt
When the famine struck, it was widespread, and Egypt was the only country that had food. Joseph rationed grain to Egyptians and to outsiders who came seeking help.
Canaan was one of many places affected by the famine, so Jacob sent his ten sons to Egypt to buy food. After Joseph's disappearance, Rachel and Jacob had one more son, Benjamin, but he remained behind, as Joseph was concerned about his safety.
When the brothers reached Egypt, they bowed down to Joseph, unaware of who he was. Joseph recognized his brothers but pretended he did not. Joseph interrogated them and accused them of being spies. To try and prove their innocence, the brothers revealed they had a younger brother back home, and that they were concerned for his safety. Joseph imprisoned the brothers for three days then demanded that they go home and bring back their youngest brother, to prove they were telling the truth. The brothers consulted among themselves and said that they knew they were finally being punished for what they had done to their brother Joseph. Joseph overheard them and wept, but he continued his deception. He gave the brothers provisions for their journey and grain for their homeland, but he kept Simeon in jail, to ensure his brothers' return. He also returned to them the money they had paid, but he did it without their knowledge, slipping the money into one of the brother's bags.
Back home, the brothers told Jacob what happened in Egypt and asked that Benjamin be allowed to accompany them. Jacob refused. He had already lost Joseph, and now it looked as if he lost Simeon as well. He did not want to lose another son. Reuben promised that Jacob could kill his own sons if he did not return safely with Benjamin. Still, Jacob refused.
Famine Forced Brothers Back to Egypt
Eventually, the rations ran out, and the brothers had no choice but to return to Egypt for more supplies. Jacob sent the brothers back to Egypt with Benjamin, along with a gift for Joseph and twice the amount of money needed to repay Joseph for the money he returned to them during the first trip.
When the brothers reached Egypt, Joseph took them to the entrance of his house and instructed his servant to prepare a meal. The brothers were frightened. They feared that Joseph believed they had stolen the money that they had found in their bag at the end of the first trip. But Joseph only told them that God must have put it there because he received their payment.
The brothers then went inside and waited to eat. When Joseph returned, they gave him the gifts and bowed to him. He asked about their father. Bowing again, they said he was well. Soon, Joseph became overwhelmed with emotion, and he left the room. Then he came back and they all dined. He then instructed his servant to fill the brothers' bags with food, return each one's money a second time, and put his own silver goblet in Benjamin's bag.
Joseph's True Identity Revealed
When the brothers left Egypt, Joseph's servant chased after them and accused them of stealing Joseph's goblet. He said that whoever had the goblet in his possession would be kept as a slave, while the others would go free. He found the goblet in Benjamin's bag. The brothers returned to Egypt and threw themselves at Joseph's feet, begging on Benjamin's behalf. But Joseph insisted that only Benjamin would become a slave. Judah pleaded passionately with Joseph, revealing Jacob's reluctance to send Benjamin and of his own responsibility in the matter. He told of the sorrow that Benjamin's loss would bring to Jacob. Finally, Joseph could not continue with the deception. He revealed his true identity. Then, Joseph again asked about his father. The brothers were too stunned to reply. Joseph explained that he was not angry with them.
He sent them home with instructions to tell Jacob what really had become of his beloved son Joseph. In addition, he wanted them to bring Jacob and his household to the nearby town of Goshen, where Joseph could care for all of them during the remainder of the famine. All of the brothers then wept and kissed.
When the brothers revealed the news to their father, Jacob initially did not believe them. But after he saw the wagons and provisions Joseph had provided, he knew it was all true.
Then Jacob, at age 130, set out for Goshen with the 70 members of his household. The brothers were placed in charge of the Pharoah's livestock. They now lived in Ramses, the richest part of Egypt, and Joseph provided them with food.
Eventually as the famine continued, and the Egyptian economy became endangered, Joseph established a just arrangement with the people, where they were supplied with seed and would return one-fifth of their crops to the Pharoah. All farmland became nationalized, and the people became serfs.
Jacob Died in Egypt
After Jacob had lived in Egypt for 17 more years, he asked Joseph to bury him not in Egypt but in the burial place of his fathers, in the cave of Machpelah. For Jacob knew that he was sick and dying. Before he passed away, he gave an extra portion of his inheritance to Joseph, a custom usually reserved for the first born. Jacob then blessed Joseph's sons and all of his own sons, saving the longest blessing for Joseph.
After Jacob passed away, the Egyptians mourned for seventy days, and Joseph returned to Canaan to bury his father.
Upon Jacob's death, the brothers feared that Joseph would finally take his revenge on them. They tried to convince Joseph that, before he died, Jacob had told them to tell Joseph that he wanted him to forgive them. They even offered to be his slaves. But the ruse and the offer were both unnecessary. Joseph told them that God had always intended that he go to Egypt, to save many people. Therefore, he intended to take care of his brothers, their children, and his father's household.
Lived for more than a Century
Joseph reportedly lived to be one-hundred-and-ten years old. He resided in Egypt with his brothers and their families until he died. He had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren from his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Before Joseph died, he told his brothers that God would raise them up from Egypt—meaning the Jewish people—and take them to the "promised land." When Joseph died, his body was embalmed according the Egyptian custom and placed in a coffin in Egypt. According to accounts, when the Jews finally left Egypt, about one hundred years later, Moses carried out Joseph's bones. Eventually, Joseph was buried in Shechem, on a piece of land that Jacob had once owned.
Joseph's two sons became the ancestors of two large and important tribes in Israel. The northern Israelite kingdom is often times called the "House of Joseph."
Today, among scholars, the story of Joseph is considered historical fact and not allegorical historical fiction. The recorded story reveals numerous verifiable details about Egypt, particularly the Hyksos period, when the Pharaohs tended to be Semitic foreigners. That would explain how a Semite such as Joseph would attain such a high position in Egypt.
In addition, historical records reveal a significant economic change taking place during the Hyksos period. This change can easily be accounted for by details from the story of Joseph. Further, Egyptian monuments illustrate many details of the story of Joseph.

The American Indian Joseph (ca. 1840-1904), a Nez Percé chief, fought to preserve his homeland and did much to awaken the conscience of America to the plight of Native Americans.
Joseph was born in the Wallowa Valley of northeastern Oregon. In 1871, upon the death of his father, he assumed leadership of the nontreaty Nez Percé. White settlers coveted the traditional homeland of these Native Americans, and Joseph, seeking confirmation of Nez Percé territorial rights, met with Federal commissioners to discuss a spurious treaty in which the Indians had supposedly ceded their land to the U.S. government. The commissioners were disconcerted by Joseph, who stood 6 feet tall, was amicable but firm, and spoke with amazing eloquence.
Despite the obvious fraudulence of the old treaty, President Ulysses S. Grant opened the Nez Percé lands to settlement and ordered the Native Americans onto reservations. White settlers moved onto the land and committed atrocities against the Indians. Against his will, Joseph was forced by his tribesmen to fight. Pressed hard by Gen. Oliver Otis Howard's forces, Joseph was convinced that he could not win and began a lengthy withdrawal toward Canada. Pursued by Howard and harassed by many small detachments, Joseph fled toward Canada and thrilled the nation, whose sympathies were with the Native Americans.
During the fall of 1877 Joseph led his 500 followers into Montana. In the fighting he showed rare military genius and great humanity; he refused to make war on women and children, bought his supplies when possible, and allowed no mutilation of bodies. On October 1, as the Nez Percé paused to rest at the Bear Paw Mountains just 30 miles from Canada, they were surprised by Col. N. A. Miles with approximately 600 soldiers. With only 87 warriors, Joseph chose to fight. He would not abandon the children, the women, and the aged. After a 5-day siege, however, he said to Miles and his followers: "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death… . Hear me, my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
The 431 remaining Nez Percé were taken to Kansas and subsequently to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma). There so many of them sickened and died that an aroused American public demanded action. Chief Joseph was moved to Colville Reservation in Washington, along with 150 of his followers; the others were returned to Oregon. Joseph made many pleas to be returned to his tribal homeland, but he died on Sept. 21, 1904, and was buried on the Colville Reservation.

Sold by them into captivity in Egypt and at risk from the machinations of Potiphar's wife, he attained high office in Egypt, finding favour with Pharaoh by his interpretation of the dream of seven fat and seven lean cattle, and seven full and seven thin ears of corn, as a warning against a coming famine.
The story is ultimately one of reconciliation, when his brothers come to Egypt to buy corn and are in Joseph's power; in the end the whole family of Jacob settles in Egypt.
St Joseph husband of the Virgin Mary. A carpenter of Nazareth, and by later tradition already elderly, he was betrothed to Mary at the time of the Annunciation. In Christian art, representations of the Nativity often show St Joseph a little apart from the main group, with his chin on his hand. His feast day is 19 March.
Joseph of Arimathea a member of the council at Jerusalem who, after the Crucifixion, asked Pilate for Christ's body, which he buried in his own tomb. He is also known from the medieval story that he came to England with the Holy Grail and built the first church at Glastonbury.

Joseph (in the Bible)
Joseph, one of the heroes of the patriarchal narratives of the Book of Genesis. He is presented as the favored son of Jacob and Rachel, sold as a boy into slavery by his brothers, who were jealous of Joseph's dreams and of his coat of many colors given him by Jacob. In Egypt, Joseph gained a position of authority in the household of his master, Potiphar, and was later imprisoned on the false accusations of Potiphar's wife. He was released after interpreting Pharaoh's dream of the lean and fat cows. Pharaoh renamed him Zaphnath-paaneah and took him into favor. Joseph's recognition of his brothers in the famine years when he was governor over Egypt is a famous scene. His wife was Asenath, an Egyptian, and their sons Manasseh and Ephraim were eponymous ancestors of two of the 12 tribes of Israel. The Joseph saga bridges the era of the patriarchs in Canaan and the Hebrews in Egypt. The mention of Joseph's marriage to Asenath in the Book of Genesis is the subject of Joseph and Asenath, now classified among the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. The Joseph story is retold in the Qur'an.

I really like this remix to Katy Perry's "Firework". I have a whole theory on remixes I want to share actually.
So now that programs like Live, Pro Tools, Cue Base, etc are everywhere, it's made everyone a producer. I have a ton of respect for mixes like this. Different from the original, slightly deeper then normal, but still recognizable and most importantly danceable. No 2 minute breakdowns or build ups to confuse the average listener. You'll see what I mean:


text: Toronto FC out for redemption in opener with Whitecaps - The Toronto Star May 6, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next Finishing second in last year's Canadian tourney was `heartbreaking' Daniel Girard Sports Reporter In a busy stretch of a season where the focus is making the playoffs, this is a game that accounts for absolutely nothing in the standings. But don't suggest to Toronto FC players and coaches that tonight's visit by the Vancouver Whitecaps is a meaningless exhibition match. "This game is a massive game for us," TFC midfielder Carl Robinson said of the opener in the three-team Nutrilite Canadian Championship. Calling last year's victory by the Montreal Impact in the inaugural tournament "heartbreaking," Robinson said yesterday "we need to put that right this year" and win. Robinson likens the format to a local derby in England. Others compare it to the FA Cup or the U.S. Open Cup, which features 40 professional and amateur teams, including some sides from Major League Soccer. What's clear is for TFC, a franchise which finished in last place in its first two seasons in MLS, capturing a trophy would represent a big step forward for players and fans. "It's having the pride in Canada," said Robinson, a Welshman, who has been with TFC since it entered MLS in 2007. "We want to be the best team in Canada but there's no point in saying it, we've got to go out and prove it." As the only MLS team in the round-robin competition, many expected TFC to roll past their United Soccer Leagues First Division cousins last year. But Montreal (2-1-1) took the title over TFC (1-2-1) and Vancouver (1-1-2). With that victory, Montreal went on to play in the CONCACAF Champions League, which features the best teams in North and Central America and the Caribbean. The Impact made it all the way to the quarter-finals, drawing 55,571 fans to Olympic Stadium for February's first leg against Santos Laguna from Mexico. Montreal ended up losing 5-4 on aggregate. "Obviously every round they were getting through we were disappointed because we were thinking that could have been us," said TFC captain Jim Brennan, a native of Toronto. "So, this tournament we want to win it and we want to be the team that's going to go through it." After tonight, Toronto hosts Montreal next Wednesday. TFC then visits Vancouver on June 2 and Montreal on June 18. "When you play Montreal and Vancouver, no matter what sport it is, it's not always pretty," Brennan said. "It'll be a battle." Even though tonight's game kicks off a stretch of four games in 11 days for TFC, including a first-place showdown in Washington with D.C. United on Saturday, coach Chris Cummins insists his team will be fielding the best team it has. "This is a big tournament," Cummins said. "I know what it means to fans. I know what it means to the players and the club." Whitecap coach Teitur Thordarson said the game will be a good chance for Vancouver to get a taste of what MLS competition is like ahead of the team's entry into the league in 2011. "It is the biggest and best opportunity for us to find out where we are standing and how good we are," Thordarson said. So too is Dwayne De Rosario, who came over from Houston in an off-season trade and feels TFC has to win the tournament this year. "It's pride for our hometown," he said. "We want to represent Toronto the best way we can and that's getting a result and moving on." Previous Next

Volterra Semiconductor Corp. said Monday its third-quarter profit dropped 36 percent as revenue tumbled amid the tech spending slump and it booked hefty costs for stock-option compensation.
Shares fell $2.10, or 11.4 percent, to $16.30 in aftermarket trading, having closed earlier up 21 cents at $18.40.
The Fremont, Calif.-based maker of semiconductors earned $3.4 million, or 14 cents per share, in the quarter that ended Sept. 30. That is below the $5.4 million, or 21 cents per share, it earned a year earlier.
Excluding the cost booked to cover the value of stock options issued to employees, Volterra said it earned 19 cents per share, falling a penny short of the 20-cent-per-share forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Revenue slipped 3 percent to $29.7 million, matching expectations.

Firethorn is a drudge. After her mistress dies, she flees the new master of the household and survives on her own for a year in the Kingswood--god-forged. She would have died, if not for the interception of the god Ardor.
When she returns to her town, she meets a young nobleman on his way to the king's war and he convinces her to come with him as his sheath--which means exactly what you think it does.
Firethorn (also called Luck) is a frustrating character. As a foundling, she is never sure of her parentage or where she comes from. She remembers almost nothing of her life before her time as the Mistress's drudge, but she never quite fits in the hierarchy--even though she is very aware of the hierarchy and how it works. As a female drudge, she is less valuable than any man on the road to war, in spite of her knowledge as a greenwoman. The only people who value her are the other women she encounters and the nobleman she follows--although his respect is earned on hard terms.
I liked Firethorn, especially in the beginning. Micklem's style reminded me of Robin McKinley's, except that it's not quite as developed (but this is her first book). One of the main elements and plot-movers of this book is sex. It's not particularly descriptive--there are no heaving bosoms or bodices torn asunder--but there's no avoiding it. Firethorn's character is considerably formed by her sexuality and a lot of the plot is dependent on the men in the camp wanting her. Underneath it all, though, it's about Firethorn's journey to a sense of self--which will be continued in the next book, Wildfire.
Days after reading the last page, I still wake up wanting to continue the story. I liked the world Micklem created--the complicated polytheism, the equally complicated caste hierarchy. At no point did I feel like Micklem let the characters do something uncharacteristic just to make the plot easier or to move it along, which would have been easy to do I think. I am looking forward to Wildfire.

Authorities say a 33-year-old man was arrested after leading Pittsburg police on a chase during which he allegedly tried to carjack three vehicles.
Lloyd Harris of Antioch was taken into custody on Wednesday on suspicion of carjacking, attempted carjacking and evading police. Pittsburg police Lt. Brian Addington says Harris was wanted on two outstanding warrants, one for a federal probation violation.
The chase began around 6:15 p.m. when officers spotted Harris riding in the back of an SUV in Pittsburg.
Addington says Harris pushed the driver and another passenger out and sped off.
After a brief chase, he allegedly crashed and ran onto Highway 4, where police say he tried to carjack two vehicles.
Addington told the Contra Costa Times Harris was tackled by officers while pulling a third driver from her car.

Get back in the habit of saving
Saving for an emergency is supposed to be the key to establishing a financial safety net. Yet studies continue to show that people aren't putting their money away.
The latest evidence comes courtesy of Bankrate.com, which on a monthly basis takes the pulse of how secure people feel about their personal financial situations.
Those of you who save and do it as easily as you breathe might not understand why having an emergency fund is still an issue for so many people. Nonetheless, 26 percent of Americans have no savings cushion, according to Bankrate.com. An overwhelming majority of Americans don't have the recommended six months of living expenses saved.
And who are the worst at saving for that rainy day?
Bankrate.com found people between 30 and 49 are more likely than any other age group to not have an emergency fund.
Here's something that surprised me about the latest savings results. Young adults are more likely to have at least five months of living expenses saved.
Yes, you read that right. The millennials, those ages 18 to 30 who we older folks complain are too entitled, are actually saving. But for good reason, says Greg McBride, Bankrate.com's chief financial analyst.
"They tend to have lower expenses," McBride said. "They don't have to put away as much because they are likely living at home with their parents or have roommates. People 30 to 49 are more likely to not have emergency savings because those are the years they have a house, two or three kids and a dog. But they need the emergency savings more than anybody."
It's not that people don't know they need to save, especially with the Great Recession a close memory.
"There has been an attitude shift," McBride said.
"People recognize they don't have enough savings and know they aren't making progress. Savings is a consistent sore spot with consumers when it comes to financial security," he said. "But nothing helps you sleep better at night than knowing you have money tucked about in the event of unplanned expenses. Savings provides a critical buffer between you and high-cost debt or other financial distress."
Understandably, one obvious reason people don't have enough money saved is because they are struggling to cover their basic expenses.
But there's another barrier to saving.
"Americans have fallen out of the saving habit," according to a recent report by Oxford Economics sponsored by a group of financial and public-policy organizations.
Even before the recession, the savings rate in America was pitiful. It's better now at almost 4 percent but still not good enough.
"Projecting the current rate forward, and adjusting only for the aging of the population, we found that the saving rate will fall to an extremely low 3 percent in the 2030s," the report noted.
"If Americans are not able to save a significant amount of financial capital, millions of working households will have to choose between working much longer, accepting a lower standard of living in retirement – or running out of money altogether," it said.
I get so frustrated when people say they've saved up for their summer vacation even though they will admit to not having any emergency funds or very little.
You aren't entitled to a vacation until you have a cushion for the things in life that happen – a major car repair, a broken air-conditioning system when the temperatures are reaching triple digits or a family emergency or death. You have to plan for the unexpected.
"Undersaving at the national level could also place the economy and government on an unsustainable path, marked by an ever-increasing external debt that could ultimately undermine financial stability," the Oxford Economics report said.
Are you alarmed now?
If not, you should be. We've got to become a nation of habitual savers, which is why I was so pleased to see so many young adults catching the savings fever early.
Try to develop a habit of saving, even when your income is low

What is scabies? Is scabies contagious? What causes a scabies infestation?
Scabies is an itchy, highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation by the itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Mites are small eight-legged parasites (in contrast to insects, which have six legs). They are tiny, just 1/3 millimeter long, and burrow into the skin to produce intense itching, which tends to be worse at night. The mites that infest humans are female and are 0.3 mm-0.4 mm long; the males are about half this size. Scabies mites can be seen with a magnifying glass or microscope. The scabies mites crawl but are unable to fly or jump. They are immobile at temperatures below 20 C, although they may survive for prolonged periods at these temperatures.
Scabies infestation occurs worldwide and is very common. Scabies can affect anyone of any age (including a baby or child) or race. It has been estimated that about 300 million cases occur each year throughout the world. Human scabies has been reported for over 2,500 years. Scabies has been reported to occur in epidemics in nursing homes, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other institutions. In the U.S., scabies frequently affects the homeless population. It also occurs episodically in other populations of all socioeconomic groups, as well.

Megan Mullally Explains How She Taught Nick Offerman To Smile, Teaches Me To Smile In The Process
If Megan Mullally and her husband Nick Offerman were any cuter, I'm not sure the world could handle it. They're constantly telling great stories about each other in interviews and on talk shows. Even when they're not physically in the same place I still think of them as one of the best couples in Hollywood. Now that I've watched Megan explain to Conan O'Brien how she taught Nick to smile, I myself am smiling like I never knew I could. That's some cute couple magic right there.
It all starts when Conan asks if Nick, the ultimate manly man, has a feminine side. Then they get into talking about his surprisingly girlish giggle, and Conan wonders how in the world that sound can come out of such a masculine, wood-working fellow. First Megan tries to replicate the giggle, which is adorable enough in itself. But then she goes on to explain how her wifely love taught Nick the proper way to smile and laugh, and the video just becomes hopelessly delightful.
Megan explains that Nick didn't have that giggle or that wide smile when they first started dating, and eventually, in what I imagine is the same way Jane taught Tarzan about the human world, she taught him a new method of responding to humor by showing his teeth. She then proceeds to imitate his attempt at smiling and also proceeds to make me determined to be a better smiler myself. You can be my teacher, Megan. Just like you were Nick's teacher.
Be sure to also watch the video until the end to hear about Nick's yellow overalls.


text: So I'm type 1 on insulin so I need to eat a bedtime snack to avoid going hypo over night, the thing is getting the right snack! I usually eat cereal before bed because I love it and it usually does the trick. The thing is eating the right amount, I test my self before hand and try and get from That how much I should eat. I've been told my levels should be above 8 mm/ol before bed so I aim for that but isn't that dangerous? Should I ever really be above 7 mm/ol? Also sometimes I wake up the next morning low, other times fine and other time high so I still havent got the balance right. I mix the cereal up from weetabix to bran flakes to weetos just because i get bored of the same but I love cereal! I also eat it with Soya milk to make it naturally sweet without using sugar or sweetener. Any tips? Thanks!

Don't look now, but Missouri is 5-0. Coach Gary Pinkel's team had a rough, injury-plagued debut in the SEC in 2012, but it came into this season healthy, as most teams do. (Ignore Florida out of the corner of your eye. If you make direct contact, your lungs will burst.) Apparently, health was all the Tigers needed to rattle off five early-season wins, as many as they tallied all of last year.
It's not a secret how they've been able to enter their trip to Athens undefeated. Missouri runs the football well, and the run sets up the pass, allowing quarterback James Franklin to get favorable coverage for his three favorite targets: Dorial Green-Beckham, Marcus Lucas and L'Damian Washington.
Mizzou has a formula that most teams -- especially in the SEC -- would like to follow. But it's easier said than done at times, and health certainly plays a factor in that. Just ask Georgia, which has already lost two receivers (Justin Scott-Wesley and Malcolm Mitchell) and a running back (Keith Marshall) for the season. Receiver Michael Bennett is already out for the game against the Tigers, and star tailback Todd Gurley is "doubtful," according to Georgia coach Mark Richt.
"Georgia, man, I feel for them," said Missouri running back Henry Josey, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. "They're having some of the things we had last year on this team, and you've got to find someone else to step up and offer encouragement to everybody that you're still the same team no matter who goes down. … It's just so hard to watch your team play from the sidelines, but you have to smile and show them you're working to get back and get better. They have to just keep fighting the whole time."
Missouri has four players, including Franklin, with at least 35 rushing attempts on the year. Marcus Murphy and Russell Hansbrough average 8.4 and 7.9 yards per carry, respectively, and a healthy Josey (54 carries, 307 yards, six touchdowns) is capable of taking on a heavy workload and picking up tough yards. The offense has looked much more cohesive since Franklin got completely healthy and Josey returned to the field.
While a 4-0 start in nonconference play that included wins over Toledo and Indiana was encouraging, a 51-28 victory over Vanderbilt to open SEC play finally got Missouri national recognition. The Tigers entered the week ranked No. 25 in the AP Poll. Mizzou went up 30-7 at the half, including a 20-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and the outcome was really never in doubt.
"There is chemistry and determination on this team," Pinkel said during his weekly press conference on Monday. "A combination of both of those and high leadership skills affects the whole team. This team wants to win. We are willing to pay the price to do that, and I felt that these guys had it in them. They have taken that goal really personal, especially the seniors. Most of the seniors have been here for five years and they went to bowls every year except last year, and they want to get back."
Georgia has a Heisman candidate in quarterback Aaron Murray. It has a host of talented backups, including receiver Chris Conley and freshman running back J.J. Green. But for the Bulldogs to withstand their rash of injuries, the defense has to show it can hold up its end of the bargain. The Dawgs are allowing more than 32 points per game and needed a Pig Howard fumble while reaching for the end zone in overtime to escape an upset bid from Tennessee in Week 6. Georgia ranks 78th in the country in defensive S&P on passing downs, and Missouri's spread attack will hope to exploit that on Saturday.
The test against Georgia is going to be tough, and winning between the hedges is never easy, no matter how banged up the Bulldogs are. If Missouri were to somehow pull out a win, though, the door to the SEC East would suddenly be wide open.
[si_video id="video_864733C7-D451-D4E7-2C00-9E29F16AF237"]
STAPLES: Missouri enters the Power Rankings at No. 22; Georgia at No. 7
Kicking is winning
Most fans talk about college kickers for their knack for costly misses. For Georgia, the opposite is true. Richt has enough confidence in Marshall Morgan that he sent the sophomore out on Georgia's first drive against the Volunteers to attempt a 56-yarder. Morgan drilled it. Later, he kicked the game winner in overtime against the Vols.
Morgan also converted a 55-yard attempt against LSU on Sept. 28. He's only had to attempt eight field goals through Georgia's first five games (he's 6-for-8), as the Bulldogs have converted many scoring opportunities into touchdowns. Morgan missed the first two games as punishment for boating under the influence charges.
If the offense shows a little rust with new players suddenly stepping into key spots, Morgan's role becomes more important. Special teams outside of the kicking game hasn't been Georgia's best friend, and it's an area Richt has repeatedly mentioned the Dawgs need to address.
Seasoned vets
Now in its second season in the SEC, Missouri can no longer play the newbie card. The Tigers weathered their transition into a different style of play, and with the league as a whole moving to a high-scoring pace behind strong quarterback play, it seems like Mizzou never left the Big 12.
"There are guys with the same size and the same speed as guys on your team," Josey said about playing in the SEC. "Usually it's just whoever has the better day and who wants to win that next play. I love the competition, and usually I just can't wait to play the next one."
Eight SEC teams are averaging 30 or more points per game, and this isn't a league dominated by strong cornerbacks, defensive linemen and running backs anymore (although there are still plenty of great players at those three positions). Quarterbacks like Johnny Manziel, Zach Mettenberger, Murray, AJ McCarron, Connor Shaw, and by and large, Franklin are bringing a new element to an already dominant league.
Missouri has played in plenty of shootouts before, and the league's shift to points on points on points could end up benefiting the Tigers down the road.
Breakout performers
• Missouri WR L'Damian Washington: While Missouri's three running backs put up the biggest numbers, the Tigers' offense might ultimately tip the scales on the outside. The 6-foot-4 Washington averages 15.5 yards per catch and can sneak behind the defense for a critical play.
Washington's father died when he was young, and his mother passed away when he was a sophomore in high school. The second youngest of four brothers, he had to take care of his younger brother until he eventually enrolled at Missouri. His brothers mean everything to him. His teammates look to him as a leader on the field.
"When you lead by example and you've overcome the things our players know he's overcome, and you're still an exceptional person, student and football player, you have great respect for guys like that," Richt said during the weekly SEC teleconference.
• Georgia RB J.J. Green: Coming into the year, Green was a bit of an afterthought. With the duo of Marshall and Gurley, the Bulldogs' backfield was crowded, and Green could take his time learning behind two very good players. Now Marshall is out for the rest of the year and Gurley is nursing a sore ankle. Green might have to take center stage for this week and possibly beyond.
"If he wasn't a mid-year enrollee, I don't even know if he'd even be playing tailback right now," Richt said during his weekly press conference. "We didn't have a lot of backs for the spring and we wanted to see what he could do there. When we signed him, we weren't sure if he was going to be corner or wide receiver. We didn't really think tailback. We kind of saw a need in the spring, and he was willing to do it. He learned it, and he actually was pretty darn good at it in the spring. We feel like he's found a good home."
The freshman, a three-star recruit from Kingsland, Ga., got 17 carries against Tennessee after Marshall went down and piled up 129 yards. If Gurley is unable to go, Green could be a real key to determining whether or not the Dawgs can pull out a win.
Opposing viewpoints
• Bill Connelly, SB Nation, Rock M Nation and lots of other places: "All I can say is that Mizzou is 12th in the F/+ rankings, so their performance to date has not simply been a mirage or a product of an iffy schedule. The Tigers have been great on offense and good enough on defense. The bottom could always drop out, especially if injuries kick in again, but their performance through five games has been legit. And I would say they will never have a better chance of beating UGA in 2013 than this week. The timing is perfect with the injuries the Dawgs have suffered."
• Senator Blutarsky, Mumme Poll: "What's that line from Major League? "We should've got the live chicken?" I can't figure out if it's the sheer numbers or the weirdness [of the injuries] that gets me more. I mean, who loses their top receiver to an ACL tear celebrating a touchdown?"
The extra point
This game is going to tell us a lot about both Missouri and Georgia. The narrative keeps shifting with the Bulldogs -- from the opening week loss to Clemson, to the wins over South Carolina and LSU, to a narrow escape at Tennessee -- and now it's on overcoming injuries. There's no question Georgia at full strength is a top-five team, but just how much attrition can it take?
On the other side, Missouri remains a mystery. A loss at Georgia wouldn't derail the Tigers' season, but it would silence the talk of Mizzou as a dark horse contender in the SEC East. Win, though, and the Tigers open a lot of eyes.
When it all plays out, I still think the Bulldogs win at home. They know the stakes, and every guy that goes down forces the rest of the team to rally and become a tighter unit. Sooner or later, that defense will pull it together, even if it doesn't happen this week.ELLIS: Where does Aaron Murray stack up in the Heisman race after Week 6?

text: Ahhhhhhhh, its good to live in a free country. Where a man or woman (or whatever) can smoke a brisket just for the hell of it. And do it during the week too. The travel week was a tad short and got home early Thursday, around mid-morning. Swung by the HEB and I kept hearing a whisper. Walked around to see where it was coming from and I'll be damned if it wasn't the brisket case. Go figure. Got this Choice brisket for a song: Well, gotter home and she was a bit homely without her clothes on. Anyone ever seen a flap like this?? Don't think I ever have: Did I mention it was choice???? She looked like she got in a cat fight. A real cat fight: Did I mention she was Choice??? And $1.97/lb?? I injected it with 1/2 strength Buther BBQ brisket injection (been doing that lately and I'm liking what it does to the meat). I let it rest for about 4-5 hours after injection as is recommended. Yes in the fridge or course. Then I made a rub with some stuff I bought at the airport in KC on the way home: I did about 2 parts rub and 1 part coarse black pepper. I like the texture and bark from the pepper. She looked better with a fresh coat of rub on her after the fridge nap: Firing up the UDS with Royal Oak brix and some post oak and cherry chunks. There are 2 more hunks under the charcoal: I connected the Auber PID temp controller, set it to 215* (wanted to make sure it didn't cook too fast since I was needing some sleep) and I went to bed. Got up about 6:00am, walked about back and this is what I saw in the UDS: She turned out pretty; flap, cuts and all. Getting ready for a Butcher paper wrap: I jacked up the temp to 250 when I got up and wrapped her. Still took a few more hours. She was at 165* when I wrapped and stalled hard. I think the butcher paper, which is mostly doubled to get it big enough to wrap good, acts as a bit of insulation and it takes a bit longer post wrap vs foiling. This is her after it reached 203* or so thought the flat and rested in foil for a while. My son was hungry, like he always is and wanted some brisket tacos so I chopped up some: She had a nice red smoke ring. This is the Flat Pretty good flop: This is some of the point. Just about fall apart: Observations: *The rub was darn good actually. Not bad for picking up in the airport. If you haven't put some coarse black pepper on a brisket your missing out, too. *I am liking the Butcher BBQ injection at about half strength. I usually use beef broth but didn't have any so used water. Still good though. One thing it does do is help it keep better in the fridge for a couple days while I make sammiches and tacos and shepherd's pie,etc. over a 2-4 day period. I also think I have to take the brisket to a higher IT to get the doneness I am looking for. I have been having to take my briskets to 203-207* to get the flat to flop. Now the point on this one was nearly fall apart and I don't inject much at all in the point. Hmmmm. Not a bad thing, just gotta cook it a tad longer maybe. *Perhaps Royal Oak brix are a little milder than Kingsford brix but it might just be me. They seemed to leave a bit more ash and not last quite as long. But It might just be me. They were on sale and I got 4 bags of it. Worked fine for me. *The Auber PID temp controller is the absolute bomb! This thing rocks and I highly recommend it. Hell, at $144 for the controller and fan, you can't beat it compared to other temp controllers. No additional connections or adapters needed either. It is no frills: just set the temp you want. No programming, no wi-fi. But it works flawlessly. Always within a couple degrees of set temp. I like to smoke when I sleep for butts and briskets and I can do it with my UDS too! I posted a review of this device a few weeks ago, BTW.

So an update! yay ...Special thanks to Synesthete .net/u/356352/ for her help (and ideas!)
They all sat around the table the next morning. Jones had gladly cooked the morning meal at West's request. Selena and Hanna were still haphazardly dressed in frilly red, looking like they hadn't actually dressed themselves. They weren't eating-neither was Rachel. Selena's gaze at her mixed with the tension of the past night-along with the fact Mitchell and Clifton were practically giggling and congratulating each other-turned her stomach. Hannah was looking far away as though her mind was elsewhere. Jim and Sergeant Farrell had been taken away the day before as neither had agreed to go along with the 'new policy'. Rachel wondered briefly where they took them-if they were dead now. She hadnt exactly known either very well, but it was still eerie that someone she had sat down with to eat days before was now missing. That night she had spent alone in her room-West had put her in there and a guard at the door for her safety-which really meant so she wouldn't do anything foolish like try to escape-as if she would try.
"Not hungry?" West asked her casually.
Rachel shook her head.
"You should eat anyway." he said a bit louder-more to the whole table. "We need to keep our strength, and not waste our supplies."
Selena scoffed from her seat. West glared up at her mid bite-and she glared back.
Rachel cleared her throat and sat forward in her chair. Hoping, to break the tension, she took a bite of the semolina Jones had prepared-she then had to force it down. Jones had tried to follow her advice on adding honey to the mixture-but he had missed the bit about it only being a touch-he clearly over did it.
"I would eat more but it's a bit sweet for me." Rachel said lowly. Its not that she wanted to be hateful to Jones-but she didn't feel like eating to begin with.. and that was as good an excuse as any.
"Ol'Jonesy here just got a bit excited with the sugar!" Clifton laughed. Mitchell, Davis, Bell and Bedford all laughed along. "Innit that right Jonesy?"
Jones had the decency to blush.
"Dont worry youll get your turn soon enough, Doris." Mitchell grinned.
"Can we not talk about this here?" Rachel spoke up louder than she really excepted her voice to come out.
"I dont see why we shouldn't." Mitchell clearly didn't like her reprimand. "Speaking of which, do we need to work out a rotation schedule, Major?" Mitchell turned his gaze to West.
West looked back at Mitchell.
"See, I figure there's 7 of us-that is, if the major wants to have a go-and 7 days in a week..."
"That's enough Mitchell."
"But then again there is more than one girl-and we should give em a few nights off a week." Mitchell continued as though West hadn't spoken.
"I said 'Enough." West banged the table for emphasis and stood. "Go and patrol the perimeter."
"but I haven't finished my..." Mitchell tried to stall.
"Now." The Major cut him off. Mitchell reluctantly did as he was told. "Jones-start clean up."
"Aye sir." Jones said quickly not wanting to draw the ire of the Major.
"Davis-help him."
"Yes sir." Davis nodded.
"Clifton, Bell, Bradford ...take the girls back to their rooms, and see that they're comfortable." he added. The three 'yessir'd him and stood. Clifton went first to Selena-Bell quickly put his hand on Hannah's shoulder and thirdly-as he was on the same side of the table, Bradford went to Rachel.
"Come on." Bell said nicely to Hannah who stood and followed him.
West had begun to make his way to the door-he was going to go and try to reason with Mitchell-to try and make the young man see that just because they had the power to make the girls submit didn't necessarily mean they had to be cunts about it.
"Stop it. Get your hands off me. I want to talk to the Major." He stopped when he heard Rachel say his name.
He turned around and let Clifton, Selena, Bell, and Hannah move past him. Bradford had a hold of Rachel's upper arm as though she had tried to run away.
"You can let her go." West said, and Bradford did so. Rachel straightened her shirt. "You had something to say?" West asked her, his tone colder than perhaps he would've liked.
"Alone." Rachel said as she eyed Bradford-and Jones and Davis still clearing off the table.
West thought for a moment. "You two can start in the kitchen-" he then told Jones and Davis. They wordlessly, and gladly moved from the room and headed down to the kitchen. "Bradford-go and check on the boiler and the generator."
Bradford wordlessly did as he was told.
After they were alone West stood silent-waiting for her to speak.
"I've been thinking..." she started.
"...And?" West barked at her as if she was one of his soldiers. He had expected this...For her to try and put her foot down, to try and dissuade him today, after the dust had settled.
"...About Mailer." She finished.
"Mailer?" West looked confused. It hadnt been what he had expected. "What about him?"
"I can deal with the infected-out there. Living day to day knowing there are things out there that want to kill me..." Rachel continued. "And I can deal with... whats going on in here. I know what you offer here is precious-its protection. There isn't anything I wouldn't give to not have to go back out there and if my body is that price then so be it-But, I cant do both. I cant be here and be happy and safe knowing you've got one of them chained up in the garden."
"What you ask, I cant give. We need him." West said matter of factly.
"We need that courtyard-imagine getting a goat or maybe some chickens-fresh eggs-fresh omelets."
"I can see about clearing off a patch on the front lawn-if we could find some uninfected lifestock maybe ..."
"You said yesterday you wanted me to accept this-to understand it? If you kill Mailer, you wont have to worry about me-I wont run away or try to help anyone else escape. I'll cook, I'll clean-I'll be yours."
West said nothing. He stood there for a moment staring at her. Then he took out his hand gun, turned and walked away. Rachel for a moment was unsure what to do-then came to her senses and ran after him. He was difficult to catch up to-his long legs and quick pace was much faster than Rachel's.
She nearly caught up to him at the kitchen. Jones and Davis staring at their commanding officer as he walked past -gun in hand.
West went through the red door, almost instantaneously Mailer was on his feet running at full speed toward the sound.
Mailer reached the end of his chain and was sprung back but soon was again at the end of his tether-swinging his arms wildly at the Major. Jones, Davis, and Rachel reached the doorway in time to see West staring, emotionless, down the barrel of his gun at the former soldier. The loud pop reverberated through the brick courtyard, and Mailer fell backwards to the ground.
West re holstered his gun, turned and walked back toward the door way, as Bradford made his way to the door to see what the commotion was.
"Bradford-get Mitchell and clean this up."
Bradford didnt move for a moment-until he realized the Major had been speaking to him.
West moved further in the door and walked past Rachel-but then stopped and turned his head toward her ear. "You'll be staying in my room tonight." he said matter of factly and then walked on.
Thank you! r/r

Bookish Resolutions 2016 | TTT
4 comments:
I should start picking up more plays, too. I used to all of the time when I was in a drama class for my English Literature major, but then I stopped after awhile...on that note, I'd like to go to the theatre more often, too.ReplyDelete
I feel like I should read War and Peace, but I've never been all that interested. I enjoyed Anna Karenina, too, and I've seen the trailer for the new War and Peace miniseries which looks great, but it's just one I don't have any plans of reading soon.
I hope you stick to your goals!Replies
Plays are great for when you can have a lazy weekend reading. Do you have anything from NT Live near you? The screenings of live theatre are really great quality these days; I'm seeing David Suchet in The Importance of Being Earnest in two weeks through NT Live. Far cheaper for a better view.Delete
Yeah, I think it has to really grab you in order for you to overlook it's size.
Thanks and likewise! :)
Good luck on all your 2016 resolutions!ReplyDelete

BRENTWOOD, Calif., Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The Brentwood, Calif., lot where O.J. Simpson's mansion once stood has been sold for $12.9 million, it was reported Sunday.
Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death at her nearby town house in 1994 and Simpson was forced to sell his property after their families were awarded $33.5 million in a wrongful death suit against him.
The property was bought by investment banker Kenneth Abdalla for about $4 million in 1997 and he razed the house and built a new one.
Universal Music Group President and CEO Zachary Horowitz is the new owner of the nine-bedroom, 10-bathroom home, the Times said. There are six fireplaces and a theater, wine cellar, indoor and outdoor living rooms, a guesthouse with a gym, a tennis court and a pool.

Zillow Shares Pummeled on Weak Guidance
Shares of Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) traded sharply lower on Tuesday following a disappointing earnings report from the online real estate company. Shares were down nearly 20 percent despite an impressive rally in the broader markets. The S&P 500 rallied over one percent on Tuesday to break above 1430.
Zillow's earnings actually came in line with expectations. Zillow reported a third quarter earnings per share figure of $0.07 on revenues of $31.9 million. Analysts were expecting an EPS of $0.07 on $31.66 million in revenue.
However, the company disappointed in terms of guidance, predicting that sales for next quarter would fall between $30-31 million -- analysts were expecting $32.4 million.
Zillow went public in the summer in 2011. Shares didn't perform well that first calendar year, but until Tuesday's drop, 2012 has proven to be much better for investors, especially when compared to other recent tech IPOs. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), for example, have all had notable struggles, falling precipitously from their initial offering price.
The weakness in Zillow's forecast might suggest a softening in the real estate market, or it could simply be a case of a high-flying recent tech IPO coming back to earth.
The market might get some further insight on this matter later in the week, when Zillow's competitor Trulia (NYSE: TRLA) reports earnings. Trulia itself is trading lower on Tuesday, although not nearly as much as Zillow, near $21.60, down about three percent.
The trading a rebound in the homebuilding market has proved profitable in 2012. Year-to-date, shares of the SPDR Homebuilder ETF (NYSE: XHB) are up well over 50 percent. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), a bank known for its mortgage exposure, its up over 20 percent and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) -- a retailer with obvious exposure to the construction industry -- has rallied almost 50 percent.
Attempting to use Zillow as a proxy for the broader housing market may be foolish. The company is relatively young, and while its goals of bringing the real estate market online may pay off one day, the company is still very much growing and exploring new frontiers.
In its earnings report, Zillow noted its recent acquisition of Mortech, a creator of mortgage software. Zillow also spoke about its increasing push into the mobile realm, declaring that over one billion homes had been viewed on a mobile device.
Going forward, shares of Zillow are likely to enjoy a wild ride for quite some time. As it remains a young company, investors should be prepared for swings like the one seen on Tuesday.

RENTAP | Summoning The Sun
by Joe Mis
– Senior Columnist —
The Dutch five piece act calling themselves RENTAP has given itself some pretty big shoes to fill. Apparently, RENTAP translates from ancient Malaysian as "Shaker Of The World" – a title given to a warrior ahead of his time. After putting out Summoning The Sun, a five track EP, the hard rocking RENTAP shows that it has the potential to live up to that lofty title.
RENTAP is fronted by the gritty voiced Phoenix, who's voice is a cross between Lizzy Hale and Pink (with touches of Hayley Williams) – and very well suited for the hard rocking blues-based style of the band. She is ably backed by the guitars of Nik and Yoep – a duo that works well together and lays down some strong riffs and neat solos. Bass is handled by Bart, and drums by Yuma – and the pair provides a formidable kick. In fact, the band displays a level of teamwork far beyond what one would expect from a new act, due to the fact that these are all experienced musicians.
Crisp guitar riffs open "Come Through The Fire," a track which becomes a blues based hard rocker with a great kicky rhythm line and solid vocals, although there are a few moments that Phoenix might be slightly overstepping her range. The band is polished, but not glossy, and the mix done by Yuma van Eekelen (Exivious, ex-Pestilence) and Bart Hennephof (Textures) serves the music welland gives it that elusive "almost sounds like a live gig" vibe. "Upside Down" has a very heavy, almost thrashy groove to it, yet at times it seems like some of the riffs and rolling bass lines were inspired by old Iron Maiden. This track gives Phoenix a chance to do some layered voclas, and she handles the task well. "Insane" is all about the guitars. Big hooks and superb rhythms just drip blues rock, the martial drums highlight what turns out to be a rather technical track, and the lead break is awesome. Brutal riffs kick "Break These Chains" into darker, near metal territory, but the sweeping chorus pulls it back into the light. Tight guitars again make this one a winner. "Future World Skies" wraps the EP with a slower-tempo track that incorporates a few more modern rock touches – although most could probably do without the occasional megaphone-muffled vocals.
RENTAP's music is simple and undiluted hard rock. Powerful and pure, they pull no punches and are unashamedly old school rockers through and through. However, they are not throwbacks or hard rock has-beens – they blend in a number of modern influences without letting electronics or studio gimmicks overwhelm the basics. RENTAP delivers blistering hard rock with a veteran touch, and their enthusiasm for what they do is readily apparent. If there is any disappointment at all it is the simple fact that this is only an EP rather than a full album.
There are few flaws with either the music or the mix, and the few rough vocal spots should be ironed out with a bit more seasoning. This is a band to watch, and is quite capable of living up to its potential. If you like solid hard rock with a blues background that skirts the edges of the metal world, RENTAP's Summoning the Sun is highly recommended!

As I do every year in January, it's time to think about what my goals are for 2011 and put the plans into action in order to achieve my goals. It's important for ADD'ers to plan for succeeding in the many aspects of their lives. Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn this vision into YOUR reality. As we all know, some ADD'ers are challenged with the process of organizing themselves with a clear thought process, that scattered mind as it is referred to.
A scattered approach to achieving your goals is rarely successful, so we all need to figure out how we are impacted by ADD and create a strategy regarding how we manage ourselves in setting and achieving goals. I set goals in 9 areas of my life;
- Financial
- Career
- Parenting
- Giving
- Health
- Friends & Family
- Significant Other
- Personal Growth
- Fun & Recreation
Each area can include multiple goals or maybe just one, that's up to you. I achieve great results by setting goals and have managed a balanced approach to achieving what I want out of life. Good luck to you and I hope you achieve your goals in 2011.
