California Division
Justin Cruel, Califorina Academy of Math and Science - 11th grade
It may seem strange that my photo is that of an overpass bridge tagged with graffiti, but I believe that it says something about the state of California. Graffiti at one point meant art, but now is used to establish territorial lines. On this particular bridge the graffiti overlap each other, as if they are in conflict with one another. The different pieces of graffiti represent the different gangs, people and divisions among Californians and how those differences have caused us to fight with one another. While they kill each other, they forget one thing, we are all humans and the differences between us are only superficial. This is how I see California, divisions among the youth and how those divisions end up hurting one another. It needs to change so that we are no longer divided, but are instead one, tolerant and understanding.

Bill Belichick, head coach for the New England Patriots, announced today that he is leaving the Patriots, effective immediately, for his life-long dream job, Sales Representative for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance.
Belichick, whose resume includes five Super Bowl victories and three AP Coach of the Year awards, called his team and coaches together this morning before a scheduled practice and tearfully announced that he was walking away from all of the adulation and 20 hour work days for this job which would give him more security and allow him to spend more time with his family.
Quarterback Tom Brady speaking for the team, said that they understood the challenges he would face in his new position and volunteered that he would pledge to buy a 10 Million Whole Life Annuity to help coach get off his initial draw of $2500.00 a month. His tight end, Rob Gronkowski, stated that he would personally pass out Belichick's new business card to new rookies as long as he was a member of the team.
Bellichick, who doesn't own a suit, was also presented a $1000.00 gift certificate for Brooks Bros. from locker room assistant, Byron Woof.

linux doesn't recognize sata drive on msi 7093 + amd64 3200
i tried loading the sata drivers from sil and promise but to no avail.
i can run the live ubuntu cd which does manage to read some of the hardware but it also doesn't recognize the drive.
is the version of linux i attempted too dated or am i missing something?
don't know much on the raid 0/1 front and looking at some of the post it seems to be the problem. and plus most have it working.
i got the sil 3114 driver from the silicon image site (after a search pointed that i would need it) but don't know what to do with it - tried the scripts on install but they don't work.

SATA drives set up in regular fashion (i.e. not RAID) will be detected. I can't really help you with RAID.
On a side note, the Linux distros you're trying (except Fedora Core 3) are a bit out of date, although I'm not sure if that's actually part of your problem. I've had no trouble setting up a regular SATA drive with SuSE 9.2, 9.3 or Ubuntu 5.Registered Linux user #270181

thanks for the reply.
how do I determine if they are setup in the raid fashion?
and if they are how can I go about changing the same.
any links you can point out to me to read?
have a working windows xp on the machine and when i did try to install win2000, it read the hard disk fine.

If you didn't do anything special other than plugging the drives into your motherboard, they *should* be set up in standard non-RAID fashion. You might try unplugging everything but the drive you're trying to install onto and see if it shows up.

It didn't ask for a driver floppy? Any time I've tried to install XP on a SATA drive I had to provide it with drivers.

iOS accounts for 2% of web traffic & other reasons not to trust statistics
The country with the third largest chunk of iOS traffic is Guernsey, a small group of islands off the cost of UK. Guernsey has a population numbering around 65 thousand, and yet they managed to create 6% of iOS web traffic. Does that really make any sense?
Oh, I believe that this company is tracking the data correctly, but I also believe that a lot of users are fibbing. I wonder if Guernsey have a large number of TOR routers? I ask because I think it's likely that people are anonymizing their web surfing rather than actually using iOS that much in Guernsey.
We really don't know how accurate these numbers are without digging a lot deeper and asking the right questions. I can't do that unfortunately, because it requires a subscription.
P.S. My web traffic is rather ordinary, with one exception. Four percent of my visitors are on Android, and that's more than the rest of *nix combined. (Hi guys!)
P.P.S. If I'm wrong in my assumptions about Guernsey, please don't hesitate to say so.

There is the one Evie that married a Beavers. Mary Evaline "Evie"
Cunningham (1868-1949) that was married to Charles Robert "Charlie" Beavers
(1864-1918). But, as you can see, I have her death as October 17,
1949.......and burial two days later at Burnt Schoolhouse.
Baxter Bulletin Oct 20, 1949
Funeral services for Mrs Mary Evaline Cunningham Beavers, 81, of near
Advance who died Monday morning at the Baxter County Community Hospital in
Gassville, were held Tuesday morning at Burnt School. Burial was in the
Burnt School Cemetery with the Roller-Barber Funeral service in charge of
Mrs Beavers was born Sept 1, 1868 in Baxter County. She was married in 1883
to Charles Robert Beavers.
Survivors include four sons; Henry of Buffalo, J. C. of Cotter, Arthur of
Oakland and Eugene of Gassville; five daughters, Mrs Nora Mead of Advance,
Mrs Mary Durbin of Lemoore, Calif, Mrs Callie Merrell of Morristown, Ind,
Mrs Allie Smith of Wichita, Kans, and Mrs Velma Dilday of Grass Valley,
Calif; a sister, Mrs Caraline Haugh; a brother, James Cunningham; 43
grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
She was the first one that I thought of and she's definitely not the Eveline
Beavers who died in 1915.
If I had to bet.......I would think that this Eveline Beavers is the Mary E.
Reynolds (b1854 TN) that was married to Charles Robert's brother; George C.
Beavers (b1844). He was married twice. Could be that her middle name was

She lived in the right area and had to be kin to these other Beavers. I

A slope can separate a home from a busy street and provide extra privacy and quiet. Slopes can also be difficult and dangerous to mow and are susceptible to erosion and runoff. Don't let your hillside get out of control.
We've all seen erosion where major excavation is underway, but construction sites aren't the only areas where erosion occurs. Our home landscapes are also susceptible to runoff and erosion of topsoil.
Just because you don't see gullies or mudslides doesn't mean that erosion isn't occurring. The process can be very subtle. Look for symptoms such as exposed roots, signs of splashing of soil or mud on pavement. You may not see it on your own property, but runoff from your yard may be evident farther down the street.
At best, erosion is unsightly. Rainfall or excess irrigation causes runoff from our lawns, roads, parking lots and farm fields. Topsoil — with its organic matter, beneficial microorganisms and nutrients — washes away. In many cases, erosion can be dangerous. Also washing away are contaminants such as fertilizer, pesticides and petroleum products. All of this ends up downstream and eventually in our water supply.
Stabilizing the soil on the slope is the answer. Soil in these areas is usually lacking microorganisms and nutrients or suffering from compaction. There are ways to control a slope:
Baffles or barriers are obstruction devices that slow down or divert water from flowing directly downhill. They consist of partially buried stone or timbers (laid parallel to the slope). These barriers work best for lesser slopes.
Riprap is rough, loose stone (at least 6"-8" wide each). Usually granite, the stone is imbedded into or spread loosely onto the slope. Riprap slows and diverts flowing water. It is effective but can appear stark or harsh in some landscape designs. To soften the impact, you can plant the areas between the stones with a variety of ground covers or rock garden plants.
Terraces stair-step up the slope. The flat surfaces allow you to plant on the terraced levels. Terraces allow water to soak in instead of running off. Use timber, stone, concrete or precast concrete block to build the retaining walls. Start at the bottom and fill in the level above with soil from the area just leveled (a technique called "cut and fill"). Terraces should slope a bit (about 2% is recommended) to prevent water from collecting at the back of the terraced portion.
Remember that mortarless retaining walls can only reach a certain height (usually about 2'). Check the specifications of the product you are using for height restrictions. Also remember to backfill the area behind the wall with crushed rock to ensure drainage. If you build a terrace around existing trees, make sure the soil level is not raised. Covering the roots too deeply can damage the tree.
Plants can help control slopes. You can plant any of the slope control methods above or you can use plants alone. When plants are established, the roots help anchor the soil. However, getting them established on a slope can be difficult. Seeds and mulch wash away and planting holes erode before the plant gets established.
Wildflowers, clump-forming ornamental grasses or other perennial native plants usually adapt quickly to slopes and unimproved soil.
You can also adapt rocky soil for a rock garden. If you choose to provide irrigation for a planted slope, make sure that the system's water pressure is adequate to water the entire area.
Some recommended landscape plants for slopes includes ajuga, barberry, cotoneaster, daylilies, forsythia, ivy, juniper, liriope, pachysandra, sedum and vinca.
Temporary remedies include: plastic sheets, straw bales, mesh, silt fences and mulches. These are short-lived, as most will biodegrade or wash away over extended periods of time.
Turfgrass can control erosion on minor slopes if the grass is healthy. A grass such as annual rye can germinate quickly and help stabilize soil while perennial grasses get established. Compacted soil is a major contributor to runoff. Aerate if possible, and add organic matter such as compost to promote a healthy stand of grass.
Getting grass seed to stay in place on slopes until it germinates can be tough on steeper slopes. A covering of straw can help secure the seed and reduce water runoff. On steep slopes you may need to resort to hydroseeding by a landscape contractor.
An excellent method of starting turfgrass on slopes (or anywhere) is by using a seed germination blanket. The blanket is a combination of biodegradable material and wood fiber that holds seed and fertilizer in place until grass seedlings can take root.
Severe slopes, especially those that lead downhill towards a structure, require the attention of an engineer or landscape architect. Check local building codes before starting a major project.

My advice to anyone who is in the same situation as your mum, would be to go along to the Local Council who have people working on this sort of thing all the time. I have known people who have gone to our local Council and a lot of their debts were wiped off by the companies voluntarily because only compounded Interest was left to pay and without leavinmg a Default on their Credit File. I know it is always a difficult thing to do but when people start to get into debt and it takes over their lives either go to your own Bank, wich might provide you with a Managed Loan to clear all debts. go to your local Council or best of all write to the people you owe money too. They are always willing to help and they do get asked by customers all the time for help. Your mum wouold only be one of many who Credit Companies hear from every day. I would certainly stay away from companies like Churchwood Finance. Lastly I would send a complaint letter to The Financial Services Ombudsman who might even be able to get a great chunk of your mother's money back for her.

Tyler Johnsonwrote a review of Black Diamond Infinity 50 Backpack - 3050-3234cu in on July 7, 2010
Great Pack
I bought this pack for long weekend trips, since that is just about all I get to do these days, and I love it. The ergoACTIV belt makes the pack feel like it's a part of your body. I've loaded this pack up with 35-40 lbs of gear and dog food and I can barely tell it's there. In terms of durability it's been on two long weekends hiking, a week in the BWCA, and checked twice in the last couple months and it seems to be holding up fine.
No complaints at all. Absolutely a great backpack.

It's not his comments on this thread that pissed me off Bartist, don't worry about it. The pathetic coward had his say and I had mine.
Okay moving on...so glad LETS got #1!
So much for moving on...
You know what Handsome, send me a PM if you have anything to discuss, if not MOVE ON...
So LETS was a deserving winner, definitely.
Yeah, it's a pretty good episode. Wouldn't say #1 but I have no problem with it being it.

Surprised to see Summer of 4 Ft 2 has so many fans. Beat out a lot of stuff Id put way ahead of it.
I just missed it!!!!!
Yes, if "just" refers to three months' time.
And... why does your name have to be Bartist?
2 months later and i'm still mad Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy missed out
Ah, good times...
If I had to do my list over again, there would definitely be some Season 5 picks in there that I missed before.
i'm still baffled that you'd never seen season 5 before.
also, Join Date: Jul 2010
that you've read people talking about the episodes for a few years.
yeah missing Season 5 is weird, I mean I haven't seen a full season since 16 but you're missing out on part of the show's peak
I realize it's strange. For some reason Season 5 was just not one of the seasons I had until recently.
I also don't have 1, 2, and 3 yet.
but you've seen 1, 2 and 3.
Homer Badman sure sticks out like a sore thumb, just a little overrated. It's nice to revisit this list.
homer badman is the only episode in this top ten that's in my top ten.
Homer Badman is a brilliant episode. Great satire of the sensationalist media (which has sadly only got worse since the episode was written)
Exactly. It's an episode that's gotten better with age.
It is a very good episode, just not top 5 material IMO. It is nice to see some different episodes get such high praise I guess.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin
by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu
(I noticed that there weren't any threads in the manga page on m-u, so I made this one for general discussion... if this is the wrong place let me know. I also can't figure out what the /m and /a tags are for/how they are used, so I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me)
For those who don't know, The Origin is a manga adaptation of the legendary anime, Mobile Suit Gundam, which revolutionized the anime industry (and the "robot anime" genre) in 1979, paving the way for such classic series as Super Dimensional Fortress: Macross, and Armored Trooper VOTOMs. Gundam's fame need not be extolled to anyone here: it has permeated nearly every facet of Japanese culture and remains one of the (if not the) most well-known icons of Japanese culture to the outside world, along side Samurai, Ninjas and kimonos.
The 1979 series is viewed largely as the product of directory Yoshiyuki Tomino's talent. And while I don't wish to downplay his involvment (Tomino created the world of the Universal Century, after all) history has largely ignored the equally important role Yasuhiko Yoshikazu played in the creation of this ancient anime epic.
The semi-biographical gag manga Gundam Sousei tells the tale of Mobile Suit Gundam's production, casting Tomino as the "hot-blooded emotional genius" archetype and Yoshikazu as the "cool-headed intellectual genius." It may be best to think of the two men in these terms. A man of immense talent, Yoshikazu is no less important to Gundam's origins than Tomino himself--The Origin is his version of the story. It features absolutely breathtaking art, and re-tells the story of Mobile Suit Gundam with sublime grace, deftly capturing the most memorable moments of the anime and expanding upon them, adding even greater depth to the already-rich universe and already-beloved characters. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is an immaculately-drawn master work, deserving to be read by all fans of the medium--be they fans of the Gundam franchise or not.
In Autumn 2011, Bandai announced that Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin would be animated, with further information regarding the project to be released in 2012. The format of this anime has not yet been determined, but mecha fans across the globe are greatly anticipating further news.
I'm looking for 1 or 2 knowledgable fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam anime with a high level of proficiency with the English language who would be willing to work as proof-readers/QCers for the English-language scanlations. If you're interested, post in this thread. --Red Shoulders

Er... I think you're a bit confused. Bandai only shut down their North American distribution subsidiary. They're still producing anime (and are still an industry giant).

If you're going to be lazy then it doesn't matter > either way. This could be a question of learning styles. You wrote "If the effort is there..." so I assume that means you have a way of putting effort into understanding an engine design, even if you have never seen an engine design before. Furthermore you have some way of digesting and transforming that knowledge so you can make new designs rather than be a slave to imitation. I definitely cannot do this very well. I learn much faster by struggling with a problem so I learn where the "problem" is---what is the key thing I'm trying to do, and why do my efforts seem to fall short? Why do I feel confused? And THEN looking at the answer to get that "aha!" moment. This is especially nice in learning Haskell because solutions tend to be elegant and contain deep insights. Isn't there some saying like: "See and remember for a day. Do and remember for a lifetime." In struggling to answer, a student is not simpling "doing" the problem, but is actually "doing" part of the thinking that led to the creation of Haskell. They are retracing problems and alternative solutions that are in some way related to the history of computer science. Mike

« Our New Tape | Main | Bid Hard: With A Vengeance »
March 15, 2011 Sending This One Out to Japan
The Mountain Goats would like to step into the pulpit for a second here and say that if there actually were a devil, his name would be Compassion Fatigue. We must resist the devil, even though 1) there is no devil and 2) the devil is all kinds of cool. Wherefore, tomorrow, as soon as I get the link myself, hoping to increase compassion and show love to Japan, I'm going to put up a link to an auction that the good people at Tannis Root are running with a bunch of artists whose online stores they host.
I always try when asked for an auction donation to come up with something special. My donation for Japan is a tape I found in a box today. The tape is dated 5/27/01, and is labeled "FRENETIQUES demos" on the spine, but that plural is deceptive: it has only one song on it. The song's called "Eugene Sue." I spent today trying to figure out why it's called that, but no luck. Quick math tells me that this is the tape I had planned on making the next work-tape before I decided to write Tallahassee instead. I'm not going to make a copy of it for myself; whoever wins it will have something that nobody else has, including me. There is one in the world, and this one's it. If you want to digitize it and give it away to everybody, that is fine with me, and if you don't, that's fine with me too, and probably even more fine with some of the French continental theorist types I adore.
The song itself is completely inappropriate to the occasion at hand; in it, a man washes up on shore and calls down curses on himself & the entire world. He sees a guy with a gun. He foretells trouble for everybody. He whistles. What can I say: it's a Mountain Goats song; some degree of doom and paranoia goes with the territory. Still, it seems hopeful in its peril-ridden way. Happy doomed guy singing. Painting smiley faces on the walls of his open prison. And a spoken intro that indicates that I'd been watching the Cubs play the Reds into extra innings.
It looks like this, and I hope you feel called to bid with both hands when I put up the link tomorrow. My goal in putting up something irreplaceable is to raise as much as I can for people who need our help right now. See you here tomorrow when the link goes live.

This one came with a box of crabs in a seafood factory. Probably it comes from Ireland.
It's about 25-30 mm long, but can be a juvenile of a larger species.
Somebody told me that it's maybe a Diopatra neapolitana but I'm much less than convinced, I see it very different.
Any help welcome! Thanks!

Okay so, I'm not sure if this is in the right section but if it isn't I'll move it.
Over at Rabbitsonline, BlueEyes found a 5yr old boy bun called Scruffles, who was dropped off at the pet store because his owners were bored with him. Another member, whitelop, has decided to adopt Scruffles, but she lives in South Carolina, and BlueEyes is in Arizona.
If any of you guys would be willing to help transport him, it would be greatly appreciated. Here are the checkpoints/possible legs. Basically the major cities that show up on the map route. The underlined are taken care of already, and the Italic is unconfirmed but possibly taken care of.

The five-goal victory at White Hart Lane was one of Liverpool's stand-out performances last season, effectively bringing André Villas-Boas's 18-month reign at Tottenham to a close and underlining the readiness of Brendan Rodgers' players to launch a genuine title challenge.
Rodgers would like more of the same this time, even though he acknowledges that days when a team gets everything so right are few and far between.
Particularly as a few significant changes have taken place at both clubs in the interim. Villas-Boas has been replaced by Mauricio Pochettino, who favours a pressing game similar to Liverpool's own and has supervised a winning start to the season. Luis Suárez, scorer of two of the goals in last year's rout, has now departed these shores, and last but by no means least his equally controversial successor is about to make his debut.
Liverpool have made other signings this summer, paying more money for Adam Lallana and Lazar Markovic, yet inevitably Mario Balotelli is already assuming his place as centre of attention. That is something his manager is intent on resisting – "I won't be talking about Balotelli every week, I'll tell you that now. The team is the most important thing here, it won't turn into the Balotelli show" – though in point of fact he has talked of little else than his new £16m capture since the deal with Milan was first mooted.
In part that is due to persistent media questioning. For a while, at least, Balotelli's return to England is going to be difficult for anyone to ignore, especially as his default "look at me" mode seems at odds with the strong team ethic Rodgers has instilled at the club. But it also happens to be the case that Rodgers has yet to refuse to answer any question on the subject, and gives every impression of enjoying talking up his new striker and looking forward to the challenge ahead.
"It is a challenge, and I relish it," he says. "My eyes were totally wide open when I went for the player. I knew there would be loads of questions but I also knew I could knock them away. Just as with Luis Suárez, Mario will play wherever he is asked to play, and that will be wherever the team needs him. We just need to keep things simple and take away all the background noise that surrounds him. He might have been over-indulged in the past, but he wouldn't be the only one. You see the same with British kids too, you can give players too much too early. The difference with Mario is that he's a proven talent. He's got a winning mentality. He has scored goals at the highest level and already won quite a lot."
Rodgers felt that at the price Balotelli represented an unmissable opportunity, as well as a challenge that a coach with his background ought not to pass up. "We'll give the kid a chance," he says of the 24-year-old.
"He will make mistakes, but so will everyone else. He's got wonderful charisma, a presence on the field and a great touch. When I brought Fabio Borini to Swansea he told me Mario, a team-mate from Italy Under-21s, was the best player he had ever come across. He's a genuine world-class talent, and when you look at some of the other valuations at the moment £16m is an absolute steal. Of course, there are other aspects to the package apart from his ability, but that's where I have to try and do my work.
"That's what I feel I do best, the reason I'm here. I've always enjoyed working with young kids, helping children who were given no hope. I used to work with inner-city kids at Chelsea. Some of them had no parents, others had been completely written off, but everyone deserves a chance and it is gratifying when you see them flourish."
Balotelli is hardly a kid any longer, even if he occasionally behaves like one, yet he has a certain innocent charm and an endearing, almost childlike enthusiasm. "He has been doing extra work after training, even in the rain," Rodgers says. "He has already asked whether he could take the penalties. He's very good at those, and he knows it. I told him Steven Gerrard is our penalty taker."

Infographic: How America's Serving Sizes Make Us Fat And Wasteful
It's no secret that Americans are engaged in a life-and-death battle with our own waistlines. And while the reasons behind our obesity crisis are many, one of the biggest factors is that we just eat too much. Over the last few decades, our serving sizes have ballooned–something that's evidenced when they're compared to the portions that individuals in other nations eat. And when our servings are so big that we still can't eat it all, we throw it out.
Huge serving sizes are a reality in just about every facet of food consumption. In grocery stores, our packaged foods have swelled to the point where consumers become confused about how much of something they really should be eating. At restaurants, giant plates have become the norm–just check on Yelp to see how many reviewers grumble about a diner's "measly portions." In this recessed economy, "value" has become synonymous with "more food than anyone should ever eat, ever."
Our giant serving sizes are also a contributing factor to America's horrifying problem of food waste. According to a report out yesterday, we waste nearly half our food–most of which ends up in landfills. And much of that waste is generated because there's just too much of everything. Cutting the size of packages and plates is a big step toward helping curb that.
Smaller serving sizes would also help cut down on waste in other ways; in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of tons of paper napkins, take-out cartons, and plastic utensils are thrown out each year.
Don't believe it? Check out the infographic below to see just how super-sized our servings really are here in the U.S.–and how they stack up to those in other countries.

Housing Market Problems and Solutions in a Nutshell
September 2, 2011
There are a million things being said about the housing market and about a dozen different interpretations of the data. On top of it all there are several different programs being discussed by the White House as solutions to the market turmoil. So what is going on? Anthony Randazzo, director of economic research at the Reason Foundation, provides a snapshot.
Ignoring household debt does not make it go away.
- Before we are going to see consumer confidence and demand return in force, household debt needs to fall.
- There are four ways that debt can be lowered: (1) Programs that incentivize high debt like the mortgage interest deduction could be cut; (2) The default and foreclosure crisis could be allowed to accelerate its current course; (3) Wages could rise dramatically and the unemployment rate could fall; (4) The Federal Reserve could inflate away the problem.
- A combination of the first two possibilities in this list would be the best policy approach by the White House and Congress.
It's the housing programs.
- There are two big "ideas" on the table right now to try and solve the housing mess. Both would simply perpetuate the problem, says Randazzo.
- First, a refinancing program that would essentially let homeowners whose mortgages are owned by Fannie and Freddie get lumped into a universal refinancing deal, setting their interest rate at today's extreme lows of around 4 percent.
- Second: Selling government sponsored enterprise homes to create a national rental program.
In summary, we are in a bad place in terms of the housing metrics and household debt is holding us back. Overall, the government has created more problems in housing and failed to address the real problems in the system with its programs, a significant reason why the housing market climate is so stormy at the end of August 2011. The only thing our government hasn't tried is the free market approach, says Randazzo.

Lets See It As It Is
I have not posted here very much but I thought I would give an honest opinion on the situation between Pacman an Mayweather.
Let's start off with Mayweather. He comes in as the person who has been blatenly been called a Duck and this Ortiz fight just confirms every question.Mayweather would not fight a southpaw before he takes a mega match between him an pacquiao wich this fights would show a weakness (If there is any) against a southpaw which pacquiao could use as an advantage. Ortiz no matter is win lose or Draw against mayweather will now prove anything about mayweathers legacy. I seen too many *****ty fights with Ortiz to be sucked in to thinkin he's a top contender.I would like to pretend like everyone else in the world that are mayweather fans that he is fightn for legacy but it shows as the betting winning reciepts stop coming in that maybe the moneys gone and he is only there for the pay day. Btw I hate to say it I am a ***** but this is just a sad excuse of a fight.

Orlando Regional Healthcare said that it would cut its workforce by as many as 400 jobs—or as much as 3%—affecting all 8 of its hospitals. The nonprofit company has about 16,000 employees. The first wave of workers affected received layoff notices on Friday. The remaining employees will be laid off after the first of the year. Orlando Health will continue with its $300 million expansion and renovation of the Medical Center and its $50 million acquisition of Physician Associates.


text: The wealth chasm: from inequality to inclusion in housing, pension and financial assets In 'News ' News Back to 'CHASM' At a time of increasing economic uncertainty and growing inequality, the UK, like many other advanced economies, has seen a shift from collective welfare provision towards more individual provision. However, many people appear to lack the financial means or capability to manage this effectively. The University of Birmingham has established a new Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management (CHASM) to investigate these issues. Based jointly in the School of Social Policy and the Birmingham Business School, the Centre aims to provide a focus for world-class research on the distribution and role of assets in people's lives from housing to pensions to financial savings. This launch conference was held on 25 May 2010, was attended by over 100 delegates and discussed some of the key themes of the new Centre. This page contains an outline of the day, the speakers' slides, and videos of each speaker's presentation.

Dhaka, Nov 26 (IANS) The militant, suspected of being a key man planning bombings on Ashura mourning procession in Bangladesh last month, has been "killed in shootout", a senior police official claimed on Thursday.
Monirul Islam, a detective branch official of Bangladesh Police, said the alleged planner, Al Bani alias Hojja, of the attacks which killed two people and left over 100 injured, was killed during a raid in a Dhaka area late Wednesday night, Xinhua reported.
Hojja, a leader of the banned Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh, along with others carried out attacks on October 24 on Bangladeshi Shias in old Dhaka's Hussaini Dalan, a major venue for the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar.
IS claimed responsibility for the explosions in an online statement. However, Bangladesh police have maintained it was the handiwork of "local extremists".

Welcome back to the final week of our Summer Online Bible study on the book of Hosea! Congratulations, you committed, stuck through it and now we are at the end of our journey through Hosea.
What a wonderful way to end our study on God's Love for us. We learned that He had chosen us and that He loves us no matter what. We were brought back full circle this week, being reminded that God is the ultimate parent, who will never give up on us. Because we are His loved, His chosen, His redeemed. Joy overcomes me when I think about how God will never, ever, ever give up on me. He will never, ever, ever stop loving me. Little ol' me, flaws and all.
My big take away from this week was "seeking God with my whole heart." WOW. I don't know about but I thought my heart was 100% committed to God. But when I really stopped, and thought about it, my whole heart relationship could use a tune up. I certainly didn't want God to pull back from our relationship because I wasn't being loyal to Him. So for me, I began with my praise and worship, giving God my full praise. Giving God my full attention during study, really committing to cultivating my relationship with Him and becoming more intimate and committed. What a blessing to become like a deer panting for water when it comes to wanting to know more about God!
God is so amazing. The depths of His love for us is unimaginable. Just as a surgeon must cut us to heal us, God does the same with us. But why do we sometimes not realize that we are being healed but instead think God is punishing us? Memories of times when God did just that for me came flooding back, and you know what I discovered? I have been restored!
These last five weeks have been such a wonderful time of re-discovery of God's love for me. I have re-claimed my identity in Him, who chose me, who loves me, who redeems me. And you have too my fellow Gomer Girl!
I leave you with this statement from the study, "You are worth the cost of this redemption to me. I will always see you as beautiful for you are mine. I will always think of you as lovable because I love you. Cease striving to find your place, my precious Gomer; you are already found in me." (page 153)
Remember, God's unfailing Love never disappoints. Remember, God's unfailing Love covers all. Remember God's unfailing Love is all we need.
You are so Loved!

You will have the opportunity to share your answers to these questions during your small group time. You may also post them here. Consider also recording your answers in your spiritual journal.
QUESTION 1: What does seeking God with your whole heart look like for you? What do you do to seek Him with your whole heart? How do others see you?
QUESTION 2: Let's do a soul inventory. Do you invest/spend more time in your religious activities for God or in your relationship with God? How does either impact your relationship with God? What do you need to change?
QUESTION 3: In our lesson we learned that God both wounds and heals us. Thinking about this, what is the greatest affliction/wound that God has allowed or placed in your life? How has/was that affliction/wound been part of a greater healing for you?
QUESTION 4: Read this statement from our lesson: "You are worth the cost of this redemption to me. I will always see you as beautiful for you are mine. I will always think of you as lovable because I love you." (page 153) How does reading this make you feel? How will this impact your relationship with God going forward?
QUESTION 5: What one thing do you value most or will you take away from this study of Hosea?
My Sisters, I have enjoyed this six weeks of study with you, remember, You are one God chose and loves! (page 8)

Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) says it is developing new trails in Taplejung and Lower Manaslu region and will unveil their detailed map on May 29 coincinding with International Sagarmatha Day.
TAAN President Mahendra Singh Thapa said his organization deployed two separate teams to explore the areas last month.
Thapa said, "We are yet to receive the detail report from the team but according to team members the trekking route to Fungling- the headquarter of Taplejung will take 21 days from Kathmandu and 18 days from Tumlingtar, Sankhuwasabha."
The Taplejung trek passes Mitlung, Chhitruwa, Lelep, Selep and Olangchung Gola in northern part of the district and enters Sankhuwasabha district crossing the Lamabsumba Pass located at an altitude of 5,177 meters.
Likewise, the other newly designed route is a nine-day trek in lower Lower Manaslu Region. "Dharche Danda in Lower Manaslu offers magnificent view of mountains from Dhaulagiri in the west to Dorje Lakpa in the east," he said. Beautiful Gurung villages in Laprak and Baprak were other major attractions of the route.
Rana Bahadur Khadka, first vice president of TAAN and Gopal Babu Shrestha, executive member of TAAN led the expedition team respectively to develop these two new trekking routes.

The trade: Sell the GLD May 3 144/146 call credit spread (selling the May 3 144 call and buying the May 3 146 call) for $0.40 or better.
If you own gold, you generally want the price to rise. If you have owned gold over the past month or so, you have not been pleased. Here is a trade idea that will please gold traders — especially if gold drops in price.
Gold prices look like they fell off a cliff a few weeks back, and now prices have been rising with almost equal fervor. On Friday, SPDR Gold (NYSE:GLD[1]) raced up and traded just short of a critical pivot level for the ETF and then finished lower on the day. A weaker-than-expected report on the U.S. economy could have been a contributing factor, as gold is often used as a hedge against possible inflation worries. That pivot level is somewhat critical — the ETF closed right about $144 on April 10 and continued its plunge the next day.
Click to EnlargeYou might not think that closing price is a new resistance for GLD, but a glance at a two-year chart may make you change your mind. Back in May and July of 2011, that area acted as a strong area of support for GLD — each time it traded close to $144, GLD responded by moving higher. Now support has become resistance for GLD, which should be able to keep the ETF from moving higher … at least for one more week.
At the time of publication, Kmiecik had no positions in the securities mentioned.

It was the premiere of the brand new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night. Will Smith was on the show and U2 performed. When Fallon joked that a friend bet him he'd never make it to The Tonight Show, Robert DeNiro came through the curtain and handed him a $100 bill followed by a line of other A-listers, like Tina Fey, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Seth Rogan, Lindsay Lohan, Mariah Carey, Joan Rivers, Tracey Morgan and Mike Tyson.
On the Bachelor last night Sharleen decides it's not fair to stay because Juan Pablo isn't right for her. Claire and Nikki show the world how much they dislike each other. Juan Pablo takes Nikki to meet his parents, the mother of his daughter AND his daughter. Very odd. By the end of the show Renee, Nikki, Claire, Chelsea and Andi were left. Chelsea was sent home. That means the other four get hometown visits from Juan Pablo next week.

thanks man. um I feel like one of the vocalists sounds similar to allister and one has a lower voice and has kind of an original sound. they don't sound too much like blink 182 vocally but they are fun and have dual vocals like blink.

Digging: Langhorne Slim - Lost At Last, Vol 1
I saw this album at Poundland (UK Dollar Tree). I usually pick up albums from there based on cover art and/or song titles, but I don't know why I passed this one up It's the second time I pass up a decent record in this manner.
lol i thought you hated this kind of music?
Nah man, I like pop-punk. Most of it is too samey, but I do like the more commercial stuff (Undertones, Green Day, mid-period Blink, fame-period Sum 41, MxPx, poppier Bad Religion, some Buzzcocks and The Descendents, and of course the Ramones).
^I realize not all of those are pop-punk per se, but they all play poppy punk rock music.
yeah i hear ya ;) dude you like MXPX?? nice! that's like the first pop punk band i ever listened to all their stuff does kinda sound the same but i'll always have a soft spot for that band.
And Toy Dolls, and Bowling For Soup.
MxPx's best album IMHO is Before Everything And After, but all of them have a few good songs in them. I own Panic! and it's decent too.
you like bowling for soup? man, where the fuck were you the other day lol
and mxpx's best album is slowly going the way of the buffalo
BfS's best (out of the ones I've heard) is Goes To The Movies. Reviewed that waaay back when.
haven't even heard that one i just like drunk enough to dance and a hangover you don't deserve. andcas was going on about how they are complete shit and i was trying to explain how fun and nostalgic their older albums are.
andcas would think that, to be honest.
lol i mean obviously bowling for soup aren't the best but who doesn't get some enjoyment out of 1985 or girls all the bad guys want? ( was born in 1985 but still)
So was I (what happened to the 85 in your name?) I think it's because most people here are younger and don't have the nostalgia.
asked for it to be removed ;) and yeah probably
says the guy digging the bloodhound gang lol
yeah i've only heard like one song off of it lol i'm just messing with you
Dear Chasey Lane, I wrote to explain
I'm your biggest fan
I was wondering if
You'd let me eat your ass
Write back as soon as you can
lol maybe i'll check out the album only one i heard is the discovery channel song whatever it's called
i just assumed they were probably a one-hit wonder

It is always a pleasure to have Cristal Ryder visit my blog! Today she's got an interview for us and a new book. Take it away, Cristal…
Thanks so much for having me Cassandra, my fellow Cabal of Hotness Hottie 😉
1) Tell us a bit about your new release.
Last Friday No Toys Tonight was released with Sybarite Seductions in their Daring line. It's a double point of view, so you get both his and her story. You can buy it as an anthology or as each individual story. There is an excerpt and blurbs below.
2) Where do you get your ideas? For example Life experience, fantasies, experiences and fantasies of friends, etc.
Ideas seem to materialize. Any little thing seems to spark and idea. Like in the news today a sinkhole spawned a whole new sci fi story. I doubt it will ever get told since there are so many ahead of it.
3) What do you find draws you most to write?
Telling the story. I get excited about it and then I have to do something with it and not let it go until it's told.
4) What else do you have in the works?
A foodie BDSM story.
5) How do you name your characters? Any special tricks?
Not really. They pop up and say "hello, my name is xxx" sometimes I've changed names after I start because it doesn't seem to fit the character anymore.
6) Do you own an ebook reader or read on an electronic device? If so, what?
I have a Sony Pocket reader. Its a few years old now.
7) What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
French fries. I love them. The crispier the better 🙂
8) Any vacation or appearance plans this year?
We just got back from a wonderful week in Florida, on North Captiva Island. We do have some plans in the summer – Saratoga Springs in August. And I will be at Romanticon, Ellora's Cave annual conference.
10) What would your readers by very surprised to learn about you?
I've flown a plane. Yep, I piloted a Cessna 152, with an actual pilot beside me of course, and it was a blast. I think if I could do it all again, I'd be a pilot. And a writer of course
No Toys Tonight
A classic case of mistaken identity sparks a dangerous attraction that can only be satisfied with a daring sexual encounter. The lust heating up the car and freedom of anonymous sex is too delicious to ignore, even with the risk of discovery.
No Toys Tonight
Girls' night out at a male strip club, at first Fiona thought it was just what she needed to let her hair down and go wild. But when things get a little bit out of hand, she bolts, right into the car of a very sexy-voiced cabby. Or so she thinks.
Nearly blinded by the blowing dust, it takes her a few moments to realize she's stumbled into the backseat of a police car. When she discovers the cop is just as sexy as his voice, her inner wild child begs to come out and play.
No Toys Tonight—Off Duty
After a rough work day, all off-duty cop Reid wants is pizza, beer and to watch football. But fate has other plans for him. Outside a strip club a gorgeous beauty flags him down and his sense of duty makes him stop.
Despite a case of mistaken identity, Reid can't help but be attracted to the woman in his backseat, and when she propositions him, he's unable to resist the call to duty.
"Holy shit, you're a cop."
"Am I? Hadn't noticed."
Fiona couldn't look away from him and her tongue was tied. He smiled and the cutest dimple creased into his cheek. Her finger itched to reach out and trace it. He was one hot dude. "I-I'm sorry. I was blinded by the dust and thought you were cab." She glanced around. This wasn't a normal cop car. It was plush almost, a comfy sedan with fabric seats and darkened windows. "Umm, this doesn't look like a cop car."
"It's a detective vehicle. Unmarked." He was still driving and she caught his look in the rear view. "So, what are you plans for the rest of the night?"
Did he just ask her out? Go with it Fiona. Go with it.
She put on the best seductive smile she could muster and said the first thing that came to her mind. "I've been a very bad girl and need to be punished."
He didn't say a thing. Just stared at her. Oh god, had she just gotten herself arrested as a hooker or something? But when his mouth quirked into a smile, she knew it was okay. Fiona sighed and leaned back on the seat, rubbing her palm over the fabric, thankful it wasn't a police cruiser with sticky, plastic seats.
So then, what do you think comes next? I hope you liked the blurb and want to read more.
Be bad…you might like it.

Possible Titles for 'Star Wars: Episode VII' & 'Amazing Spider-Man 2'?
by Ethan Anderton
October 11, 2013
Source: Latino Review, CBM
In the next two years, there's a plethora or blockbusters coming, and two of the biggest ones will be Star Wars: Episode VII and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And with big sequels like this, it's been customary that they each have their own subtitles, especially in the case of the iconic sci-fi saga. Well, Latino Review has word on some potential working titles for the sequel, but the problem is that they come from a time when George Lucas was the only one working on a treatment for a new trilogy, before Disney had even bought Lucasfilm and J.J. Abrams had signed on to direct the sequel. So what are these titles?
Supposedly Rise of the Jedi and Return of the Sith were the two titles that Lucas had gestating in his mind. But of course, since Lucas isn't in control of the franchise, don't count on either of these titles to stick. Not only are they painfully generic and too similar to the previous titles Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith, but one of them doesn't jive with some of the story details we've heard about the sequel (but that's all we can say). Abrams will come up with a title that fits the style of Star Wars, but it won't be something as simple as that. There have been rumblings we might learn more soon, but we'll have to wait and see.
As for the neighborhood wallcrawler sequel, the possible titles are a little more believable, but still not all that great. ComicBookMovie has a fan telling them that Sony was surveying people on a preference of titles outside of the Mall America before a screening of Captain Phillips. Supposedly there were three titles that people were asked about, but the source only remembers two (get your shit together, man). Those titles are The Price of Power and With Great Power.
Obviously the latter is a reference to the iconic line that Uncle Ben delivers to Spider-Man, "With great power comes great responsibility," but Martin Sheen's version of the character in the first film (thankfully) never said that exact phrase. So it doesn't seem like a smart choice. The Price of Power works better as a title, but it sounds more like a book or video game. Anyway, the titles for both of these sequels are merely rumors at this point. Hopefully we'll get confirmation on one or the other sometime soon. Thoughts?

The spot: The Vine at Bridges, 480 Hartz Ave., Danville; www.thevineat bridges.com.
The vibe: You've booked the sitter and are looking for a corner to tuck into with your sweetheart while swirling a glass of something red and lusciously supple. If you could nibble on a scrumptious, handcrafted appetizer and hear some live music, too, you might never leave. Welcome to The Vine, a stylish neighborhood wine bar and retail shop adjacent to Bridges restaurant. Saunter in, grab a table with the cozy, high-backed chairs, and enjoy a flight of rare gems from California and beyond that deliver tremendous value. The music starts at 8:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and the staff goes out of its way to make sure the wine is flowing until midnight, when they close. For an extra treat, try the seasonal pumpkin sticky toffee cake ($9) with cinnamon tuile and nut streusel. The sitter will wait.
For the couple who: Forgot why they moved to the suburbs.
