News, Vision & Voice for the Advisory Community
Tom Bradley will become president of retail distribution, setting him up as a potential successor to Fred Tomczyk in the CEO role, one expert says
February 6, 2012 — 10:39 PM UTC by Brooke Southall
Brooke's Note: What TD could only have hoped for if it ever lost Tom Bradley as head of its RIA business was a second Tom. It seems to have one both in name, experience and personality. Tom Nally is a strong personality who has made TD unusually effective in winning breakaways, considering its size. He can think on his feet and speaks well publicly. Still, this is unexpected, somewhat shocking news.
After years as the faithful lieutenant to J. Thomas Bradley Jr., Tom Nally will move from his job as head of sales to Bradley's post at the helm of TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.'s RIA business, with Bradley becoming president of retail distribution. The changes were announced at 5 p.m. today. See: Tom Bradley answers 10 questions about TD Ameritrade's competitive stance in his 25th year.
Bradley, 49, has long served the company as president of TD Ameritrade Institutional, the firm's business unit serving independent registered investment advisors. Bradley, who has nearly 30 years' financial services industry experience, has been a fixture at the company, and within the RIA business community, for the last 20 years. See: What Tom Bradley's reign at TD Ameritrade says about the RIA business.
After having been on the RIA side of the business for decades, Bradley will round out his knowledge of the business by heading the retail unit — and this could have a larger purpose with respect to Fred Tomczyk, president and chief executive officer of TD Ameritrade, according to Charles "Chip" Roame, managing principal of Tiburon Strategic Advisors.
"If Tomczyk sees him as a potential successor, this is the obvious career move; running the other core business unit seems like a savvy career move," he says. Roame adds that the move consolidates power from Nebraska to New Jersey for Tomczyk. Tomczyk and Bradley work from Jersey City, N.J. and the firm is based in Omaha, Neb. Tomczyk is 56.
Nally, 40, is based in Fort Worth, Texas.
Next step
"Tom Bradley has been a strong member of the TD Ameritrade management team for many years," said Fred Tomczyk, president and chief executive officer in a statement. "He understands our company, and the industry, and is widely respected for his work supporting RIA advocacy and development. He has grown TD Ameritrade Institutional into a major player in the fastest growing segment of financial services by expanding technology and product offerings and putting clients first. I am confident that he will put his broad knowledge base and determined management style to good use within our retail-client organization."
Bradley says he is excited to be taking this next step in his career.
"My time spent working for independent RIAs, helping them better serve their clients and create successful practices, and supporting the issues that are important to them on a national scale, has been a joy and a privilege," Bradley said in the release. "I am fortunate to have created a number of meaningful relationships that I hope will continue as I move on to the next chapter in my career. I look forward to guiding our retail sales, service and product businesses in a similar capacity and building an even better experience for our clients."
Bradley's ability to straddle both businesses intellectually could help advisors to get more benefit from branches.
"My guess is he will drive more coordination (think referral programs) between the two businesses," Roame says.
Versatile player
Nally has been with the company since 1994, spending the last 12 years on Bradley's management team at the custody unit.
In his most recent position, Nally and his team were responsible for developing new RIA relationships and practice management consulting. Nally has held a variety of positions for the firm and has had responsibility for, among other things, trading, fixed income, advisor relations, client service, advisor technology, and account services and operations, serving the more than 4,000 independent RIAs who have assets under custody with TD Ameritrade Institutional.
Nally will also join TD's senior operating committee, a group of senior executives reporting directly to Tomczyk who are responsible for the strategic direction and decision-making at the company.
"I can't be more excited about the future of TD Ameritrade Institutional with someone like Tom Nally at the helm," Bradley continued. "He, too, has dedicated the better part of his career to advisors — building relationships, putting clients first and always asking how we can better help advisors succeed. We have worked together for nearly 20 years. I cannot imagine our associates or advisor clients in better hands."
John Bunch, 45, president of retail distribution, has resigned his position, effective this Friday. Bunch, who had been with the company since 2004, leaves to take the top leadership role at an investment advisory firm.
"When you consider the organic growth that TD Ameritrade has delivered over the last several years, much of that success is due to the leadership of John Bunch," Tomczyk continued. "John developed a talented leadership team with a depth of knowledge and experience in serving retail investors. Together they helped transform our client service teams into a true service and sales organization. John's approachable, straightforward manner will be missed by our associates and clients alike. We thank him for his contributions to TD Ameritrade and wish him well in his future endeavors."
Bunch started his career as a Schwab branch manager in 1993 and was the general manager of 103 branches in 29 states when he left Schwab to join TD in 2004. He has been with TD ever since in various capacities relating to managing branches.

Jets RB Joe McKnight was inactive in Week 14 after suffering three migraine headaches.
Coach Rex Ryan said his original plan was to keep three quarterbacks active -- Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, and Greg McElroy -- against the Jaguars, but the Jets were forced to deactivate McElroy and dress Kahlil Bell due to McKnight's migraines. McKnight has been thoroughly fantasy irrelevant this season.

2013 Honda CR-V ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Compact crossover a family favorite.
The current Honda CR-V is the fourth generation of Honda's popular and widely acclaimed compact SUV. Completely redesigned for 2012, the Honda CR-V carries over unchanged for 2013. First introduced in Japan in 1995, the CR-V was Honda's first SUV and, according to lore, is an acronym for Comfortable Runabout Vehicle. A four-door, five-passenger crossover, the CR-V is indeed comfortable and is quite useful for running about.
The Honda CR-V comes with many technology features that consumers expect nowadays, such as Bluetooth-enabled hands-free capability and streaming audio. The rearview camera is a multi-angle system that lets the driver choose between a top view and either a 130-degree or a 180-degree view. Automatic climate control, leather, heated front seats and a premium, 328-watt audio system with subwoofer and XM satellite radio are available. Optional on the top-of-the-line model is a GPS-based navigation system with turn-by-turn directions.
The Honda CR-V's 2.4-liter four-cylinder delivers 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is mid-pack for the class, with an EPA-estimated 23/31 mpg City/Highway on front-wheel drive models, and 22/30 mpg with all-wheel drive. An Eco-Assist setting helps with efficiency, which adjusts transmissions shift points and manages acceleration to save fuel. When a little more oomph is desired, Eco-Assist can be switched off.
Convenience features include hill-start assist, which applies the brakes when the car is stopped on an incline and releases them when the driver touches the accelerator. The clutch that sends power to the rear wheels on the AWD models has a pre-load function that prevents any initial slippage when moving off from a stop. On freeways and surface streets, the ride and handling is solid without being overly firm and stable with little body lean in corners even at elevated speeds.
Inside, pleasantly styled panels and trim pieces complement each other and show a consistent theme. Hard plastic surfaces are everywhere, however. Controls are functional and for the most part intuitive. The screen on the optional navigation system is large and easy to read, though the system takes a long time to start up. The low roofline reduces headroom. The rear cargo compartment is not perfectly flat with the rear seats folded.
Alternatives to the 2013 Honda CR-V include other small crossovers such as the Chevrolet Equinox, the recently redesigned Ford Escape, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the sporty Mazda CX-5 and the Toyota RAV4.
The 2013 Honda CR-V comes with a 185-horsepower four-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, which do not include $810 destination charge and may change at any time without notice.)
CR-V LX ($22,795) comes standard with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, four-way adjustable front seats plus manual height adjustment for driver's seat, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with multi-function controls, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, 60/40-split rear seats, a rearview camera, 6-inch information display, a four-speaker audio system with CD player, auxiliary audio jack and USB port; Bluetooth phone and streaming Internet radio connectivity and 16-inch steel wheels. CR-V LX AWD adds all-wheel drive ($24,045).
CR-V EX ($24,895) and EX AWD ($26,145) models add a power moonroof, rear privacy glass, a retractable cargo cover, a six-speaker audio system, fog lights and 17-inch alloy wheels.
CR-V EX-L ($27,545) and EX-L AWD ($28,795) models have upgraded features including dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift lever, 10-way power driver's seat with power lumbar, heated front seats, seven-speaker audio system with subwoofer, satellite radio capability, heated side mirrors and roof rails. CR-V EX-L is the only trim level available with a factory-installed navigation system with turn-by-turn directions in 2WD ($29,045) and AWD ($30,295) variants, as well as a rear-seat DVD entertainment system for both front-wheel ($28,245) and all-wheel drive ($29,495).
Safety equipment includes frontal airbags, front seat side-impact airbags, full coverage side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and multi-angle rearview camera. Optional all-wheel drive can improve handling stability in slippery conditions.
Honda CR-V retains styling cues from older generations, after an evolutionary redesign for 2012 that brought marginal adjustments to dimensions.
The front view is sleek and round, with a rakish shape to the headlights and a grille with three horizontal bars. The lower valance is pronounced, and includes fog lights. The hood sculpting is convex, and the fender blisters are bold, giving the CR-V a strong stance.
From the side, the sculpting across door lowers recessed, with a slight Coke bottle-ness. Wheel arches are full and sharply defined. The rearmost side window pinches down to a tapered trailing edge, accenting the rear taillight and backup cluster that wraps around into the rear quarter, somewhat breaking up somewhat sheet metal in the C-pillar (the post between the roof and lower body behind the rearmost side window). Oval recesses behind the door handles easily accommodate large or gloved hands.
In the rear, proportions are right, with the rear window fully integrated into the liftgate's lower half. A thin strip of brightwork tops the license plate recess that itself snugs into the upper half of a scalloped recess spanning the liftgate from one fender to the other. The vertical taillights each look to be a single piece, and are inclusive of the backup and running lights. Tires properly positioned relative to the rear fenders match the front end's solid stance. The matte-finished lower valance masks all but the beefiest of the rear suspension underpinnings.
At first blush, the Honda CR-V interior comes across as elegant. Some buyers might be disappointed, however, when they get in touch with some of the materials used to keep costs down. Nearly all surfaces are hard plastic. They are visually pleasing, with upscale-looking graining and metallic-like finishes, but the feel is clearly low-cost.
Seats are comfortable, with adequate, if not remarkable, thigh support. The leather is a little short of luxurious, but comparable to that of other vehicles in this class and price range. Door armrests are padded. Door-mounted map pockets are molded to hold a beverage can or water bottle, but aren't especially deep, so cups must be fitted with sipper caps.
The lower roofline of the CR-V means less headroom than the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson Ford Escape or Chevrolet Equinox. Legroom is more plentiful in the Honda than these others, however, except for the Equinox, which bests the CR-V by about an inch.
The center console extends forward all the way under the pod holding the shift lever, creating usable storage space in the form of a long, deep covered storage bin, which can conceal a medium-sized handbag or other valuables. Small trays are tucked into each side of the lower part of that extended console. The lower portion of the dash curves outward from the shift lever pod in graceful arcs toward the doors, which themselves repeat the arc cues.
The screen that serves either as the control panel for the audio or the nav display parks front and center in the upper dash directly below a deeply recessed, smaller screen that handles the duties of the onboard computer and the rearview camera on the EX-L with the nav system. The rearview camera is a multi-angle unit that lets users choose between a top view, a 130-degree, or a 180-degree view. All have superimposed guidelines to aid the driver when backing up, although they are fixed and don't bend to indicate track at the current steering wheel angle as they do on some systems.
On each side of the large circular speedometer that dominates the instrument cluster is a thin light strip that glows green to signal when the engine is optimizing fuel economy. It's attractive, and looks like a giant parentheses around the speedometer. Mostly intuitive knobs, buttons and rocker switches on the dash and steering wheel manage audio and climate control functions. The automatic climate control system on the EX-L works well.
The cargo area, which holds more foot-square boxes than all the competitors but the RAV4, sports four tie-downs and a thoughtful, molded-in bracket for storing the retractable cargo cover when it's not in use. The backs of the rear seats are also beveled on the outboard edges, so the shoulder straps on the seatbelts naturally slip around the seatbacks when they're raised from their folded positions. Honda also managed to give the rear seats true, one-step fold-down systems, activated by pulling either a lever on the sides of the cargo area or a strap on the outboard side of the rear seat bottoms. However, the cargo floor is not perfectly flat with the rear seats folded down, unlike the previous-generation model.
Driving Impression
Honda doesn't push the performance envelope with the CR-V, but the powertrain is competent and efficient. Shifts are smooth, and one barely notices that there are only five gears, while most of the competition has moved up to 6-speed transmissions. Road and tire noise are decently muted, although pavement type plays a huge role in this gauge.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine benefits from dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder to generate 185 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 163 pound-feet of torque at 4400 rpm. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 23/32 mpg City/Highway. Regular gasoline is recommended, so there's no need to buy more-expensive Premium.
Ride quality is well controlled, with pavement irregularities mostly masked and minimal body lean in corners, even at speeds that activate the electronic stability control system. Honda credits this in part to its Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering, a system shared with the Honda Civic. This system complements the electronic stability control by helping stabilize the CR-V during heavy braking and introducing a degree of corrective steering input to mitigate understeer (when the vehicle tends to go straight instead of turn, plowing) or oversteer (when the vehicle wants to turn more than the driver intends, fish-tailing or spinning).
Hill-start assist engages the brakes when it senses the CR-V is stopped on an incline, then releases them as the driver presses the gas pedal. The AWD system also knows when the vehicle is stopped and primes the hydraulics that send power to the rear wheels to quicken response by lessening slippage during engagement when the driver accelerates.
An Econ mode, which drivers can select by pressing a green button emblazoned with a leaf, imposes a more restrained shift pattern on the transmission and a less aggressive acceleration mode. We felt the difference on the test drive at the launch. Honda won't say how much of an improvement driver's can expect in fuel economy with the system activated, only that it's noticeable. In other words, your mileage may vary.
The Honda CR-V is a solid and competent compact SUV. It's smooth and comfortable underway, and it can carry a lot of cargo.

Legal Question in Business Law in Nigeria
What are the requirement to register a company.i want to be educated on that,
because i don't know anything about it.
i also will like to if it is important for someone to be a graduate before you own a company.
1 Answer from Attorneys
There is no educational requirement for registering a company in Nigeria. The Owners of a company are however generally required to be aged 18 years old and above. Where one of the shareholders is not 18 years old at the time of the registration of the company, one or two adults are required to serve as "guardian" shareholders so to speak for an under 18 years old shareholder.
Registering a company in Nigeria is relatively simple. You start by choosing a name for the company which will be investigated at the Corporate Affairs Commission to see if such a name is available for registration; i.e. another registrant has not incorporated a company with a similar name.
Once the name of the company is confirmed and reserved, usually for sixty days in the first instance, you then need to collate information on the following matters:-
a. The objects for the company; i.e. what business or businesses will this company be engaged in?
b. Who will be the first shareholders and directors of the company? Note that every company in Nigeria must have at least two shareholders and two directors at all times.
c. What will be the share capital of the company? The minimum share capital under Nigerian law is N10,000 (which under present economic circumstances will not be recommended. in stead start from N100,000 especially should you require financing in the near future.
d. How will the shares of the company be distributed among the shareholders?
e. Where will the registered office of the company be located?
Once the above preliminary information are available to you, you then need to obtain the incorporation forms, fill the necessary information and submit the forms to the Corporate Affairs Commission for registration/incorporation of your new company.
My best wishes in your new enterprise.

Hi, I'm not sure if this in the relevant forum but here goes :
i'm 25 years old, 3 years ago I lost my mother to depression. She didn't actually die from depression but she might as well have, She stopped eating properly, became ill because her immune system was failing, Had a heart attack and died within a few days. I know this isn't a pity party and sorry for being so morbid but this helps me to grieve.
Anyway i had these exact feelings after her death, Going back over everything, Wondering if i could have done anything better or been anyone better for her. With depression it's not just damaging for the one suffering from it. It's damaging to the people watching it happen because you can't do anything. You feel so helpless and frustrated and angry and sad and god, Every emotion available and you start to hate the world and god and even the person sometimes and thats where the guilt comes from, after they are gone.Parents are great and amazing and you'd be lost without them but sometimes they can really mess you up and it's not even their fault.
my mother didn't self harm or drink or commit suicide, She just gave up on life which to me is worse because at least with self harm and drink there's something to work with because at least they care enough to pick up the knife or bottle but how do you reason with someone who doesn't care at all? The answer is you don't. You just watch them fade away before your eyes and then when they die you don't even grieve. You did that already when they were still alive, And then you hate yourself because you didn't. A vicious circle.
I guess the reason i posted this is because i'm venting some of my grief and also because you have all these wonderful people around you but sometimes it really helps to connect with people who truly understand whats it's like to live with depression when you don't even suffer from it.
I think the worst thing about depression is the self loathing that you have for yourself. Watching someone you love been taken bit by bit each day until it's just a shell left over and god, you can't do anything at all. They're fighting this battle that you can't get near and you want to protect because of love. The roles have reversed, You are the mother and they are the child and they can look after themselves but they don't care enough to want to and your friends and relatives don't understand because they are walking and talking just fine but what about behind closed doors.
Then you start to withdraw in to yourself and shut people out of your life because what else can you do. You're afraid that you might afflict them with this pain that you feel. i'm just trying to make sense of what happened. I feel guilty sometimes because i'm mild compared to other people's experiences.
5 years ago we found out that my father was having an affair and he and my mother were getting a separation. My mother has suffered from depression all of her adult life so naturally when he left her condition worsened. It got to the stage where i was only out of college and i began to look after her. Well obviously from my above post you know how that went.
As my parents were separating my dad still was living in the house for about 5 months before he left, in the November of that year. Tensions were awful during that time. We still had to see him during that time after everything he had put us through. I was studying for important exams so i had a lot on my plate that year. My stomach was in pieces that year. It was horrible.
He left then and it was a great sense of relief for us all because there was mental torture involved like making plans to improve the house when he knew he was having an affair. Talking about taking what he needed, selling our house, cold shouldering us, disrespectful behavior towards my mother. It was scary we didn't know whether we were coming or going.
we had a year without him and it was done and dusted and we had other things to worry about, like my Mam but i had moved on and it was surprisingly easy for me ( i was a typical daddy's girl). I was closer to my dad than my mam for most of my life but when he left i became really close to my mam. Kinda ironic.
She died and he came back. We spent 4 days in the hospital in Intensive care before she died and he showed up at the hospital on the 3rd day. We weren't ready even though we knew he was coming. it was awkward and uncomfortable because the rest of the families were there. His side and her side. It was like being put on the spot.
We started to talk about everything that had happened and i'm a soft person so i think i forgave him but looking back now it was like pulling teeth. After all the pain and suffering he put us through it was like he didn't wanna talk about what he had done and just wanted to move on and forget it. i let it go.
A few months after her death i realized i wasn't coping with everything. It was like all of the unresolved issues i had ever had in my life came on top of me after her death so i went for counseling and she helped me to see his side of things and not be so judgmental. So i forgave him but something has changed.
It's been 3 years since my mam's death and i don't recognize him anymore. I see things in him that could have always been there but i was blinded by love so didn't notice. I see an ego and a dominating, controlling nature. I haven't got the patience for him anymore. He's my father, shouldn't i be grateful for the only parent i have left ?.
I have forgiven him but the feelings are not there anymore and i can't find them. There has been nothing but arguments for the past 3 years and lately my stomach is doing the stress thing again. I dread when he comes to stay and there is a great sense of relief when he leaves.
Xmas is a hard time of year for us because we lost our mam at xmas. Xmas just gone was one of the worst since she died. He came to stay and it was same old same old but something in me snapped. I wanted to give up. For the first time in a long time i could see clearly and i wanted him out of my life for good. I tried to ask him to cut the trip short and spend xmas separate from us because he has a new partner so he wouldn't be alone, All hell broke loose. He said that he could come over whenever he wanted to to see the rest of his family (he lives abroad). He doesn't see the severity of the situation. It's become untenable. I feel trapped and powerless.
When he comes i spiral into a dark mood resembling depression and it's miserable. i cry alot and avoid him. When i was grieving at xmas i spent a lot of time on my own and my brother told him to which his fatherly response was " we're all grieving, I loved your mother too". Like some sick competition, I wanted to punch him for that. Empty words. He also told me when i told him that he's responsible for the issues that my brother has towards him that their my brother's problems and not his. Like we have to get with the program.
He has me questioning myself. Maybe i'm being to hard on him. Maybe i need to let go and move on. maybe i need more counseling, I'm not sure anymore. I find it hard to trust men due to me being raped when i was 5 by a stranger. My mam wasn't there for me emotionally but my dad was, I think thats why i formed a bond with him on a subconscious level. I never had any doubt in him i trusted him completely and had the utmost faith in him and even idolized him a bit. Obviously you know what happened with that.
I don't trust him anymore, i don't respect him, I find him manipulative, arrogant, selfish, narcissistic etc. When my mam died we needed to get the house done up and he's done a lot in the house. flooring, painting etc. He says look at all the things he does for us, we're ungrateful, we can't cope without him etc. It feels like emotional blackmail and a clever ploy to gain more of a foothold in our lives. We had no choice at the time. we were desperate.
When he hugs me i feel like i'm going through the motions. when he touches me i feel uncomfortable and a bit repulsed. when he tells us that he loves us and we're his world i want the ground to swallow me whole. When i make eye contact which is not a lot i feel disappointed and sad that we are where we are and a weird sense of grief which is bizarre because he's not dead.
I'm sorry this is so damn long. This is the shortest i can get it. I guess i just want a fresh pair of eyes on the situation or advice. I want to forget him. Is that the right thing to do?. It's been 3 years. Does it need more time?. Is it me maybe?, i don't know. i'm very confused

You''ve been through so much - past & present. First BREATHE. Depression and dealing with past issues is very taxing and people who haven''t been through it simply "don''t get it". The anger, the hopelessness, the lack of emotion, the changing emotion - it is all part of the depression you are experiencing. Are you taking medication? Have you sought medical advice. If so, good. Medication can help balance things out & help sort through the many things you have going on. If you''ve not seen a dr - you should. Really. That''s first. You need to take care of yourself. Nobody else will. You do it. Find the positives in life and get busy with other things.
You need to separate yourself a bit - especially at holidays. If you can''t avoid it - LIMIT your time around your father right now. Not that you have to be standoffish, but take it slower & take it in small doses. Don''t have the "family" thing...all those dynamics may be too much. Slow things down or have someone with you that you have as a supporter or can recognize when you need to remove yourself from a difficult conversation or the situation in its entirity.
Your mom''s death is certainly not your fault. She made a decision to stop taking care of herself - she made a decision to "give up". Not you. We cannot save anyone else - just ourselves.

I'm happy for you that you're better. You say you are so young...25? May I please say this...no matter what...your parent/father is your parent/father. Life is SO short so at some point I hope you'll find a satisfactory means to meet your father 1/2 way, you know? Having lost my own dad at around your age, I GET it...I really do. It was hard for me because I had similar issues I dealt with....his drinking, affairs, his abuse of both my sister & myself. There was a lot in my history/heart and his sudden death was difficult as there a lot of unsaid things that hit me hard when I married & had kids myself....years later even. Sticks with you & doesn't just get "erased", if you know what I mean. Forgiveness is there...no matter what...somehow at some point consider it. Even given the things I went through I have tried to find this in my own sould to forgive my father. It's tough for sure, but hang in there! You're doing great. Just keep on going & pursuing the things you enjoy...but listen to the inner voice when it might be time to reconcile somewhat with your parent.

Hi momgscout
I see where you are coming from....You're very wise with your words...I'm very sorry for, what you have had to endure...HEY thats life is my Motto...Everyone one suffers at some point, or another...What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I have forgiven my Father...and what had kept me hanging on in my misery for so long, was thinking This is what my Mother would want, or he's the only parent i have left....I can't forget everything, and i have learned to deal with it, and use it in a positve way
He's not the same person anymore, and it's toxic, and destructive to have him in my life...You're right though...Maybe something might happen in the future...I doubt it...I've tried for 5 years, and i think i can say with a clear head, that i have my closure...But thank you for everything, and i hope you are happy in your life. <33

wow thats ALOT to deal with! glad to hear your in a better place and know this sounds harsh but i think you made the right decision by cutting your father out. from what i hear he has been harsh and unfair. i have the same thing going on now really but kinda different. basicly my uncle has commited suicide very recently and his father abandoned him a long tome ago agter he beat up my nan (his exwife) and hurt the entire family. and he turned up to the funeral where we all wanted to say good bye and fair enough he is the father but to show his face to my dad and nan after all he has done just made losing a brother and a son so much harder!
so keep strong

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – The market for independent movies is growing throughout Northeast Mississippi.
On Tuesday evening, hundreds turned out at Malco Theaters in Tupelo for the premiere of three independent, locally produced movies.
"Reverie," "Genervolt," and "Third Shift" were written and produced by Northeast Mississippi filmmaker Glenn Payne.
He says the talent pool in the area is strong, and it's easier than ever for people to get involved.
"The best way to get into it is to just go out and start making them. If you 're afraid to sort of jump in, find other filmmakers who are working already, ask if you can help , make connections and it's not hard, cause we can always use an extra pair of hands," Payne said.
Payne has plans for two feature films. He will soon start the fundraising process for the movies. For more information, go to www.glennpayne.com

UNESCO's strategy is based on a comprehensive approach, recognizing the indivisibility and interdependence of all rights: civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.
The key instruments of UNESCO that determine this strategy include the Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1974) and the Declaration and Integrated Framework of Action on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Democracy (1995).
Framed within the World Programme for Human Rights Education, the Organization's strategy consists of mobilizing both individuals and institutions to ensure a successful human rights education programme. UNESCO operates on both formal and non-formal education systems and targets a wide range of beneficiaries. Learning should focus on the acquisition of values, attitudes and skills. The Organization and its partners focus on:
- Enhancement of policy dialogue to assist Member States in ensuring the right to education for every child and in promoting education for human rights, democratic citizenship, peace and non-violence and intercultural education; including establishment of frameworks and guidelines
- Support to national and local capacities for human rights education, through co-operation in the development of projects and programmes at national and sub-regional levels; including elaboration of teaching and learning materials
- Strengthening partnerships with other UN agencies for the establishment of a common framework for a human rights-based approach to Education for All (EFA) in the different regions;
- Advocacy and networking activities.

Serie A could be in danger of exploding in scandal once again, and this time the damage could be
even more lasting.
To recap, earlier this week Atalanta defender Andrea Masiello was arrested on charges of
match-fixing while playing for A.S. Bari in 2011.  While Masiello was the only once arrested,
police are also investigating eight other players in connection with this scandal and have focused
their attention on five different matches from last season.

With this release Fleshcrawl accomplish a transition away from their former suspense-laden fusion of death and doom metal. This is a bold step, as their first album explored uncharted territory already, which could have been elaborated on just as well.
Their 1994 release, by contrast, incorporates stylistic influences from grindcore, which leads to a number of formal changes: The speed, although flexible, travels mostly in the upper midrange (with considerable margins to the faster and slower), the guitar sound is compressed, superbly beaten/fucked-up and sawing. The bass is there, like a faithful companion, but barely discernible. Drums and vocals are loud in the mix and represented well.
All parts of the band function as one. The guitars deliver riff after riff in an ever-undulating way of a pan grinder, the drums are doublebass-laden, change tempo and rhythm out of the blue and accentuate the key motifs in an unaffected, bone-dry, mechanical way, like a human drum computer, sheer bliss! - and all this provides a framework for the crushing vocals and occasional guitar leads to merely support and emphasize the central themes and ideas, which are simple but original.
The craftmanship of this band is precise and sober, no instrument or artistic means sticks out, and Fleshcrawl pull off the grindcore instrumentarium with ease, almost incidentally. The elements of this music are hard to digest when taken individually, but they are masterfully melded into an amalgam, from which, after a while, few surprises emerge. Instead they form an oppressive framework that induces a trance-like state in the listener, from which one awakes with clarity in the rare and all the more surprising moments of melodicity.
This music is death metal of the purest form and highest caliber at its core, with some stylistic leanings to grindcore. Similarities to Bolt Thrower, for example, are undeniable. But Fleshcrawl's variety is impressive for its refinement and clarity, which seems to be more to the point and distills the essences of death metal and grindcore into a single potion; it chooses a path of direct, unpretentious onslaught of negativity, and isolates itself from stereotypes and contemporary issues, such as war and destruction, as it would be more typical for grindcore.
There are few bands in this world which have ingested death metal seemingly with their mother's milk like this one. Like much of Fleshcrawl's work, this album brings ecstasy to death metal purists and cannot be enough recommended.

Accidental Great Falls Fire
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department
News Release 14-51
Date: May 23, 2014
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a house fire Thursday, May 22, 2014, at approximately 11:40 p.m., in the Great Falls area of Fairfax County. The single-family home is located at 221 Seneca Road.
Firefighters encountered a fire in the first floor den of the two-story cape-cod style home upon arrival. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. The lone occupant was transported for a non-life threatening injury. A dog was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene and released. The occupant was not displaced.
Damage is estimated at $25,000.
According to fire investigators, the fire was accidental. An electrical anomaly in the den/office caused the fire.
Electrical Safety Tips
- Replace or repair loose or frayed cords on all electrical devices.
- Avoid overloading outlets. Plug only one high-wattage appliance into each receptacle outlet at a time.
- If your power goes out a lot or the lights in your home flicker, smell bad, or make noise, have an electrician come in to inspect your wiring.
- The electrical outlet in the bathroom should have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). This is a tool that protects you from dangerous shock when water and electricity come together. An electrician can install a GFCI for you.
- All electrical outlets and switches should be covered by "face plates."
- When possible, avoid the use of "cube taps" and other devices that allow the connection of multiple appliances into a single receptacle.
- Inspect electrical cords to make sure they are in good condition.
- Consider having additional circuits or outlets added by a qualified electrician so you do not have to use extension cords.
- Don't tie or knot electrical cords.
- Don't let furniture sit on electrical cords.

That Jimmy Saville then eh?
What are your thoughts on this whole thing?
Considering what has been said and how many people have said it, it doesn't look good. Which is a real shame as I thought he seemed like a nice guy.
Having said that, I hate all this 'trial by media' stuff.
Freddie Starr, from what I read, has been accused off inappropriately touching a girl 40 years ago, he denies it. So there's no evidence there and no reason to believe her over him. Maybe there will turn out to be more to it than that but IMO someone should not be able to give interviews to newspapers claiming a celebrity raped them if that person hasn't been convicted. If the person is dead it's a bit different, but if they're alive and the police haven't charged them then there shouldn't be that kind of publicity about it, that's how you end up with what happened in the John Leslie situation, where they acted as if he was guilty of everything anyone ever accused him of. This is the same media who get sued regularly by wrongly accused suspects in major cases because of the sort of shite they always publish about them.

Seafood lovers 'can help save our reefs'October 10, 2013 in Biology / Ecology
Seafood lovers can play a crucial role in deciding the fate of the world's coral reefs and their gorgeously-coloured fish, says a leading marine scientist.
Seafood consumption is a major driver of overfishing and destruction of reef communities globally - but there are some encouraging signs that consumers may be willing to eat more sustainably. These research outcomes will be presented by Dr Mike Fabinyi of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at the Coral Reefs in the 21st Century symposium in Townsville on Friday 11th October.
Dr Fabinyi is investigating consumer and food industry views and trends in the world's largest seafood market – China.
"In general, seafood markets are one of the primary drivers of change in marine ecosystems and can cause declines in fisheries stocks at both local and global scales," he says. "Chinese consumption of imported seafood has been linked to stock declines for certain fish species throughout the Asia-Pacific. This demand is so strong it often overwhelms any conservation or fisheries management measures that may be in place."
However when Dr Fabinyi and his colleague Professor Neng Liu from Peking University began to investigate the banqueting habits of Beijing's seafood gourmets and chefs, a much more complex picture emerged which holds some promise that the pressure on the world's dwindling reef fish could be eased.
"Fresh steamed reef fish form a central feature of many Beijing banquets, which are a prestigious element in both government and business dealings. These banquets have helped raise the popularity of fish consumption greatly in recent years. As a rule, consumption of fresh fish has gone up, while consumption of shark's fin has fallen."
However, recent government regulations to reduce lavish spending by government officials have led to a reduction in seafood banquets by as much as 35 per cent, and a consequent reduction in high-end seafood demand in general.
The researchers also found that while Chinese consumers are not very conscious of the environmental impact of their eating habits, they are also flexible – and in many cases are not aware whether the fish they eat is wild-caught or farmed.
Consumption of shark fin, a traditional Chinese delicacy, has been declining in recent years, Dr Fabinyi says – due to a range of influences, including environmental awareness campaigns featuring well-known celebrities, increasing numbers of 'fake' shark fin, consumer health concerns and a recent government crackdown on luxury banquets.
"Sea cucumbers, on the other hand, are increasingly popular, and are a part of traditional Chinese medicine. In Beijing, the species of sea cucumber that are consumed mostly come from aquaculture farms, rather than wild harvests."
The researchers found that most restaurant managers in Beijing are not generally aware where the fish they serve comes from, and the traceability of seafood is low. They also found that while environmental awareness has had some impact in the decline of consumption of shark fin, consumers are more likely to be influenced by arguments relating to consumer health, safety and freshness.
"For example, if consumers were more aware of potential health issues surrounding the import of highly-prized endangered fish like Napoleon wrasse and other live reef food fish, they may be less willing to eat it," he says.
While the researchers found that consumers consider live reef food fish to be 'fresh' because they are still alive in the restaurant, many live reef food fish are originally caught with cyanide, are grown out in poorly maintained fish cages, and are injected with heavy doses of antibiotics and tranquilizers during their journey from tropical countries to China.
"How the Chinese seafood market develops in years to come is an issue that has huge implications for the livelihoods and environments of source countries throughout the world, and the future of global fish stocks.
"This is a big challenge for policymakers who are trying to protect the world's ocean resources – and the attitudes of consumers and restaurant owners will be a key factor," he adds.

Being a jerk on TV pays, and apparently very well. Simon Cowell's baby mama drama is well documented , but it looks like that baby won't be worried about as his or her future dad is rolling in the dough. He along with Howard Stern, who both play the "jerk," role on their respective shows; X-Factor and America's Got Talent, topped the Forbes List for highest paid TV personalities.
The time period for this years list was June 2012 – June 2013 and Stern and Cowell tied at the top both earning $95 million dollars over that period of time:
1. Simon Cowell – $95 million
1. Howard Stern – $95 million
3. Glenn Beck – $90 million
4. Oprah Winfrey – $77 million
5. Phil McGraw (Dr. Phil) – $72 million
6. Rush Limbaugh – $66 million
7. Donald Trump – $62 million
8. Ryan Seacrest – $61 million
9. Ellen DeGeneres – $56 million
10. Judy Sheindlin (Judge Judy) – $52 million
The main thing that sticks out to me is how in the world did Judge Judy make this list? I didn't even know that this show was still on the air. Apparently her show is still one of the top shows in syndication, Either way congrats (is that the right word) to all the people on the list as they've probably made more in the past year than the average person will make in their whole life.

This satirical, fictional story is part of the April 1, 2009, edition of reality blurred.
Fourth-place broadcast network NBC will essentially be bailed out by the federal government when it receives $2 billion in cash from the stimulus package, according to reports, and will use some of that money to relaunch failed reality series.
Unlike General Motors, NBC produces some quality products that people actually want to consume, like The Office and 30 Rock, but it has fumbled repeatedly as it attempts to appeal to a wider audience, like those people who want their comedy with fewer facial expressions, no ironic references, and more jokes that highlight the differences between men and women.
"The money will allow us to stay afloat while we spend hours trying to figure out why viewers of The Office didn't respond to creatively rich series such as Celebrity Circus or Knight Rider," an NBC executive said. "Now, we'll have the luxury to try again. We're also going to spend a few years studying the U.S. airline industry and Facebook model of developing a quality product people love and then taking away everything they liked about it in order to increase revenue and brand loyalty." The network plans to remove its shows from Hulu and stop producing DVDs in order to force people to watch shows on TV that they wouldn't ever have discovered if it wasn't for Hulu and DVDs.
Besides resuscitating their own failed series and copying their successful ones to dilute the value of the originals, NBC will use its stimulus money to stimulate other networks by purchasing failed series from them–like ABC's short-lived I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here–and broadcast those. "Sometimes, it's okay to reach into the trash can and grab a discarded cookie, as long as it hasn't touched other cookies or the hair from Donald Trump's drain," a source said.
Some of the cash will be used to put Jay Leno–whose brand of non-funny humor appeals to a wide audience of people who like their local NBC affiliate's news but don't know how to use their remotes–on not just every night of the week from 10 to 11 p.m., as previously announced, but also from 8 to 10 p.m. on nights when NBC faces competition from other networks' shows that get more attention from Entertainment Weekly.
Part of agreement with the federal government includes a provision that money from the stimulus package will be used to buy product placement on the new three-hour, two-night, "fat ass" edition of The Biggest Loser, which will advertise the United States of America and any subsidiaries the U.S. acquires, from banks to airlines. Administration officials said they particularly liked the way the reality competition gives people hope through commercials.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The United Arab Emirates is considering buying a new batch of mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles by U.S. maker Oshkosh.
John Bryant, Oshkosh vice president and general manager for Marine Corps programs, told Defense News in an interview that "significant foreign military sales" were in the works with the Emirates.
The mine-resistant vehicle was developed in recent years to meet urgent requirements in combat, at the request of U.S. forces deployed in Afghanistan. There are currently 8,108 vehicles on contract with the company for the U.S. military, Oshkosh says.
Bryant indicated to Defense News that two other foreign military sales were being negotiated in addition to that by the United Arab Emirates. He refrained to disclose further details.
Together with Saudi Arabia and Israel, the United Arab Emirates make up the region's biggest spenders of defense hardware. Last year alone and despite the global economic downturn, the Emirates poured some $4 billion into its military, about one-third of what Israel paid.
Saudi Arabia, alternatively, is expected to pay at least $36 billion annually over the next five years.
"The financial muscle of countries like Saudi Arabia and the (Emirates) is enabling them to keep spending a huge chunk of their (gross domestic product) on defense," Frost & Sullivan analysts reported recently.
Bryant said Oshkosh was expected to complete production of its order of 8,108 mine-resistant vehicles by the end of November, allowing the company to "address the needs of other countries."
The need for such equipment comes at a time when U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan have intensified combat operations against Taliban insurgents who have equally been increasing their attacks against foreign troops.
The Defense News Web site reported that more U.S. contracts could be in store for Oshkosh as the Pentagon focuses on urgent operational needs for a so-called M-ATV-like ambulance.
Bryant said Oshkosh believed the U.S. Marine Corps was also in need for "a reconnaissance variant."
The so-called M-ATV program has produced the most military vehicles in a single month since World War II, Oshkosh contends. It says the company has rolled out more than 1,000 such vehicles per month, with a total 7,089 produced within a span of a year.
"Oshkosh's exceptional execution of the $6 billion M-ATV program has enabled it to repay the substantial majority of JLG-related debt and offset the $1.2-billion JLG write-down in fiscal 2009," the International Business Times reported.
"After cresting above 97 percent in second quarter of 2009, Oshkosh's fourth quarter of 2010 debt to total capital ratio should be less than 40 percent as net debt declines about $1.4 billion in one year," it said.

For our new weekly feature, "Moveable Feast," Rachel Hutton of Minnesota Monthly joins John Birge to talk about food topics in which Classical MPR listeners may be interested.
Last week, John and Rachel talked about botanical art; this week, they're talking real botanics at Como Park's Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. The conservatory's tropical, lush air, and living plants and flowers make it a great spot to visit.
It's also an excuse to zip up to Maverick's Real Roast Beef in Roseville, Minn.; Rachel says to think of it as "artisan Arby's." Or you could visit John's Pizza Cafe on Como Avenue in St. Paul, located in a triangle-shaped building that looks like a slice of pizza. John's is home to the terrific "Hog in the Bog" pizza, with mushrooms, wild rice, and bratwurst sausage tastes very much influenced by Minnesota. The usual suspects, like sausage or pepperoni pizza, are also on offer.
Another establishment to consider visiting is Fasika on Snelling; it's one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the Twin Cities. Dining at Faskia is a communal experience and a good option for vegetarians, too.

The River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) is a forty-piece professional chamber orchestra that was founded in 2005 by Alecia Lawyer. A Juilliard-trained musician with an eclectic background as a performer, recording artist, adjunct professor and radio host, Ms. Lawyer had a vision to reimagine the orchestral experience for both audience and musicians. The result is ROCO: an orchestra of all-star musicians, distinguished conductors and contemporary composers who come together from all over the world to present unexpected classics, original compositions and delightful performances that dissolve the barriers between audience and orchestra.
What is a Chamber Orchestra?
There are four categories of classical music instrumental ensembles:
– Symphony Orchestra
– Chamber Orchestra
– String Orchestra
– Chamber Groups
Many people are familiar with the Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Groups.
A Symphony Orchestra is a group of strings, winds and brass that has around 100 members and performs in a large hall that seats 1500-3000 people.
Chamber Group examples are string quartets, duos, trios or quintets like ROCO Brass Quintet that perform in small salons or galleries. ROCO has multiple performances of chamber groups throughout our season, including our ROCO Unchambered.
A String Orchestra has around 18-20 players that are only strings and sometimes also incorporates an extra wind or brass instrument.
A Chamber Orchestra that is full size consists of 40 musicians with pairs of winds and brass with the possibility of multiple percussion. There are fewer strings that in a Symphony Orchestra, but the same grouping of violins, violas, celli and bass. The repertoire (or list of musical pieces that are written for it) is vast and is best performed in a 600-1000 seat space. There is power in the sound, but intimacy in the experience. It is its own animal and occupies a distinct space beside a symphony orchestra. Some music can be the same, such as Mozart and Haydn Symphonies, but there are also many pieces specifically written for the Chamber Orchestra itself. ROCO is known for performing pieces that are rarely heard, but we are most famous for our World Premiere/Commissions — 43 by the end of our 10th season! We are adding music to this distinct Chamber Orchestra world.
Do I have to know anything about classical music to come to a ROCO concert (and what do I WEAR)?
There is no need to have any knowledge of classical music to let us share ROCO with you. We have multiple ways for you to enter the classical music world. Our house lights are always up so you can read the program that has fun information about the musicians and the music. We also engage you from the stage with information and stories that open up the concert experience for you. However, if you do know about classical music, there are many opportunities to learn even more through our concerts and discussions.
You also do not have to dress up to be here with us. Honestly, come as you are. We can't wait to have our musical conversation with you.
To all of you who are new to ROCO, we consider you a friend we haven't met… yet!
Why do you call yourself ROCO?
Alecia's oldest son, Jacob, takes credit for the mellifluous moniker. When forming the group in 2005 to begin residency at St. John the Divine, he knew it was on the corner of River Oaks Blvd and Westheimer, so the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) was born. While we started with three concerts a year at the church, ROCO has now grown to a 38-concert season throughout the Greater Houston area.
Why do so many of the musicians travel from outside Houston to perform with ROCO?
ROCO was formed with the idea of bringing together professional musicians of the highest caliber who take great joy in what they do and who are very open and approachable on stage, musicians who lift each other to higher levels in performance and enjoy conversing with an audience.
ROCO requires a unique performer who can give a profound recital, collaborate in chamber orchestra concerts, perform concerti for broadcast, and seek fantastic commissions all while checking their ego at the door and bringing in their humor and expertise. It has never been necessary that musicians live in Houston since ROCO musician's careers range from soloists and chamber musicians, to professors and founders.
One can imagine the type of conductor who would be needed to collaborate with this kind of group. We have found wonderful artistic partners who add their own artistic element to the concerts. Each is unique in what he or she brings to ROCO performances, which is why we bring in different conductors each time. In fact, we do an annual Conductorless! concert each season. Since every musician in ROCO is a leader, we enjoy the challenge and the growth opportunity to perform as a string quartet times 10!
Why are there different conductors and sometimes NO conductor?

How is ROCO different from other classical music groups?
We don't just perform concerts. We use our language of music to weave our community together through continuous creative collaborations.
Super accessible to all ages and for all schedules. In fact, during some of our concerts at St. John the Divine, the audience age has ranged from 5 years to 99 years.
– Early concerts at 5pm on Saturday for the full chamber orchestra concerts.
– Performing throughout the Greater Houston area to come to you.
– Streaming and Video-on-demand to nursing homes and hospitals, engaging our immobile community.
– Music education/childcare ROCOrooters program during and after concert so parents get a date night.
ROCO is regularly broadcast nationally on American Public Media's Performance Today. One of the reasons is our dedication to and excitement in commissioning world premieres for each concert. As of the end of our 10th season, ROCO will have commissioned and world premiered 43 works for chamber orchestra and chamber groups.
Our mission: Shaping the Future of Classical Music through energizing, personalizing and modernizing the orchestral experience.
Our founder, Alecia Lawyer, travels to speak to conservatories, universities and conventions about entrepreneurialism in the arts. Her talk, Wildcatting in the Arts, serves to truly shape the future of this field.
We make our season personal by programming and planning concerts based upon musician recommendations and their own unique forays into other musical repertoire and styles. We also connect our musicians to patrons through individual or group sponsorship of each musician in the orchestra. ROCO belongs to Houston.

Recently, my feed has been flooded with my friends posting their Facebook movies. Apparently, the company has been rolling them out to everyone this week. I decided not to post mine since literally all my pictures were food and cats.
Yesterday, YouTube creators Tripp and Tyler released an awesome video showing how our movies should really look if they were being honest. Check it out below:
