Asked by Omo, Florida • Sun Feb 8, 2009
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know about the Pros and Cons Of a 40, 45 or 50 year Loan - You may have heard that there are now 40, 45, and even 50 year mortgages. This type of mortgage can lower my payments so I will be able to afford my current house and rent it out until the better time comes to sell it. I will then rent a house where I want to move to and buy when my current house sells. I was told that no one keeps even a 30 year mortgage in todays times. It sounds like a solution for the purpose of lowering my mortgage payments so I can break even with the rental fee I would charge. I don't want to go into short sale and your answers may help other home owners who are facing the same problem..
I know not to accept an early payoff penalty of any percentage, balloons, or interest only mortgage.

Niche, in ecology, all of the interactions of a species with the other members of its community, including competition, predation, parasitism, and mutualism. A variety of abiotic factors, such as soil type and climate, also define a species' niche. Each of the various species that constitute a community occupies its own ecological niche. Informally, a niche is considered the "job" or "role" that a species performs within nature.

The former Athens businessman at the center of a massive mortgage fraud investigation was arrested Wednesday for allegedly trashing his house in west Athens just days before the bank was to auction it off.
Brian Christopher Dupree, 36, was arrested in Athens-Clarke Magistrate Court after a warrant hearing and soon was released on a $4,000 bond.
Dupree was charged with three misdemeanor counts of endangering a "security interest" for removing appliances, cabinets, lighting fixtures, door knobs and other items with an estimated value of more than $25,000 from a foreclosed house on Meadowview Road.
The Bank of Georgia, which foreclosed on Dupree's house, held a security interest in the stolen items, according to the arrest warrant application.
Dupree trashed the house in September 2006, according to the application for his arrest.
In April 2006, authorities charged Dupree and nearly two dozen others in an alleged $7 million mortgage fraud scheme involving homes in the Milford Hills subdivision off Barnett Shoals Road in southeastern Clarke County.
The fraud case, considered one of Georgia's largest ever because of the number of properties involved, will be prosecuted in Clarke County Superior Court by David McLaughlin, Georgia's senior assistant attorney general.
The case hasn't gone to a grand jury but "is still very much under investigation," McLaughlin said Thursday.
Dupree's arrest this week marked the fourth time he has been jailed in 18 months, since he was first charged under the state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act for alleged mortgage fraud.
Officials allege Dupree conspired with appraisers, a real estate agent, closing attorney and "straw buyers" who sold their identities to be used in fraudulent loan applications to buy dozens of properties with artificially inflated values.
Dupree was released after his first arrest on a $10,000 bond, but was later re-arrested for renovating a house in Athens without a permit and on a contempt charge for not paying nearly $9,000 in court-ordered child support.
An attorney for Dupree's former wife said Dupree is financially strapped and must meet monthly $2,500 support payments for his daughter, as well as other financial obligations.
Several building material suppliers have sued Dupree and his companies - Dupree Investments and Stonemark Homes - seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars they claim is owed.
Dupree was booked into the Clarke County Jail this week with an address in Sylvester, near his home town of Moultrie.
Dupree came to Athens in 2001 and quickly made a name for himself in real estate. He was one of four investors who in 2002 bought the historic Adcock Furniture Building at West Washington and North Hull streets in downtown and turned it into a mixed-use residential and retail complex called the Cotton Exchange Building.
The only prior business experience Dupree had was running a chicken house in Sylvester, according to a family acquaintance.

Bill Defino, assistant manager of the water treatment plant at the Bear Creek Reservoir, washes filters at the plant. The reservoir provides 90 percent of Oconee County's water. As they work to meet long-term water needs, Oconee County officials are talking with officials in Walton County and the city of Winder about developing a reservoir on Hard Labor Creek.
Elissa Eubanks/Staff
LOGANVILLE - Oconee County, Walton County and the city of Winder began initial development discussions recently for the Hard Labor Creek Reservoir in Walton County after six years of planning and obtaining permits.
Members of Partners for the Hard Labor Creek Reservoir Technical Committee, a group of water officials, consultants and engineers that is planning the reservoir, said construction could start as soon as next year.
The reservoir is part of Oconee County's long-term water plan, which would keep the residents of the county hydrated until at least 2050. The county now gets 90 percent of its water from the Bear Creek Reservoir, developed with Athens-Clarke, Barrow and Jackson counties, and 10 percent from well fields.
Oconee County uses an average of 2.5 million gallons of water per day from Bear Creek, though it is authorized to take up to 4million gallons per day on any particular day. The county will be able to obtain up to 6 million gallons a day in the future.
However, the county expects to need additional water by 2030, according to growth projections developed by the Hard Labor Creek Technical Committee.
Oconee officials are looking at the Hard Labor Creek reservoir as the county's future water source instead of the Apalachee River that runs along much of the county's western border.
The state Environmental Protection Division last August approved a permit for the county to withdraw up to 2.5 million gallons of water daily from the Apalachee River - what county officials say was a backup plan if efforts to build a reservoir on Hard Labor Creek fell through.
Commission Chairman Melvin Davis contends Oconee benefits more from working with other counties or cities in the development of a reservoir like the Hard Labor Creek Reservoir.
''Frankly, we're better off cooperating with other jurisdictions, and working together for water for the region,'' Davis has said. ''It's cheaper, it's easier to manage, and it's easier for the EPD instead of permitting four other counties to do the same thing.
''Instead of building four different treatment plants, and four different reservoirs, they only have to deal with one jurisdiction with a cooperative arrangement to build one,'' he said.
Currently, Oconee is meeting demand with water from Bear Creek and its wells. But by 2015, the county will have to bump up its supply from Bear Creek to the maximum authorized, 6 million gallons per day.
A reservoir on Hard Labor Creek should be necessary to meet demand by 2030, when the reservoir technical committee expects Oconee County's daily water need will exceed current capacity by 3.2 million gallons per day. Excess demand is expected to reach 5.1 million gallons per day in 2035.
Plans remain vague about how Oconee, Walton and Winder will develop the reservoir, but the technical committee projects that the three entities will need an additional 16.7 million gallons of water per day by 2025 than theycurrently can provide withexisting supplies. By 2050,the demand will reach 52.5 million gallons per day above supply.
A cost estimate for construction and land acquisition for the proposed reservoir is still being discussed by the committee, as is how much water each entity will be able to withdraw from the impoundment. A development time frame is still being drawn up, but the group plans to start building the reservoir now that it has received withdrawal and reservoir-construction permits from the EPD.
The proposed 1,500-acre reservoir will be just south of Monroe, and will initially be supplied by several creeks that come together near the projected dam site, said project planner Thomas Craig, a Covington attorney who specializes in reservoir planning. The dam site is near Browning Shoals Road, northwest of Social Circle.
A consultant from engineering firm Jordan, Jones & Goulding Services Inc. spoke to the committee about a water treatment plant that will be built at the reservoir, and discussions on what type of filtration system the plant will use are planned for the near future. A cost estimate was not discussed.
Craig said someday, Winder and the two counties may have to tap the Apalachee to keep the reservoir filled, though probably not for another 20 to 25 years.
Craig, who has worked on at least 16 reservoirs in Georgia and out of state, said a cost projection and time frame has not yet been set because the technical committee is still at the conceptualizing stage.
He said there is a lot of work that needs to be done on a final plan that will assess demand, time frame and cost estimates, and the technical committee is working with engineers and consultants to answer all the questions that are arising.
''Who needs water when? What are their other sources? When does it make sense to start constructing the (water treatment) plant?'' Craig said. ''The challenge is to make sure you haven't overlooked anything.''
A review of the projected phases of reservoir development will be discussed by the committee at the beginning of April, and preliminary scheduling and an estimated cost projection is due to be analyzed by the technical committee by April 29. A final planning report should be issued in July.
Craig said the committee will have to do a reservoir survey and look at topography data before a cost estimate can be made.

Dont know why they have had gaps in availability. Possibly because of the disasters. Thats when it started. And that seemed to change the Canon direction. Great pro camera, may be the last chance for a 1.3sensor 10fps 16mpx, and excellent ISO camera. I plan on keeping mine for a long time, and glad i got my hands on one. Last pro camera at $4900 also.

Greetings BIWers,
I am sorry for the sporadic internet service this month. I have been pulling my hair out with my current hosting company to no avail so I am preparing to switch all my sites over to a new host.
Hopefully the change over will be completed by Monday because I will be taking a much needed sabbatical away from technology. That's right, no blogging, no internet, no Twitter, no Instagram, no iPod, no email (not the tv, let's not go to crazy) — so if you see me on any make sure you kick me off. It has been a few years since I have had a real break so this will start on Monday and continue through to the following Monday.
I am looking forward to recharging the batteries, getting some painting done and maybe some knitting, if my fingers remember even remember how.
Talk to you soon!

[efoods]In the land of Mahatma Gandhi, Indian gun owners are coming out of the shadows for the first time to mobilize, U.S.-style, against proposed new curbs on bearing arms.
When gunmen attacked 10 sites in Mumbai in November 2008, including two five-star hotels and a train station, Mumbai resident Kumar Verma sat at home glued to the television, feeling outraged and unsafe.
Before the end of December, Verma and his friends had applied for gun licenses. He read up on India's gun laws and joined the Web forum Indians for Guns. When he got his license seven months later, he bought a black, secondhand, snub-nose Smith & Wesson revolver with a walnut grip.

The almost life-sized remote controlled Super plane looks amazing, and Kyle did the smart thing by taking this cool cellphone video.

I couldn't find my scoop so I wound up dumping all the tea in the bottom of the bag in, and it came out as dark as coffee. XD Unfortunately, it's quite strong and a little bitter. Still lovely and tasty, though, and better than when it was too weak.

Hospital Employees Tell Community 'What Matters Most'
St. Joseph's Hospital in Chippewa Falls, WI, gathered about 50 employees one day last year to film their response to one question; What matters most to you? Many of the employees' replies surprised the 193-bed hospital's marketers.
The "What Matters Most" campaign, which launched in May, plays off of St. Joseph's long-time tagline "Specializing in what matters most." Hospital marketers worked with Duluth, MN, agency HT Klatzky to create the integrated effort.
The agency gave St. Joseph's marketers one simple guideline when selecting employees to answer the question on camera: find a diverse group of workers.
"We didn't just want administration," says Mike Scholtz, associate creative director at HT Klatzky. "When we've done these documentary things in the past we wanted to make sure we have people who work in the cafeteria and some of the janitors and some of the support staff involved because sometimes you get some of the refreshingly honest answers form them because they're not worried about how it might sound politically. We wanted to make sure we got a nice mix of people—that was the only guideline we gave them."
The marketing team decided not to tell any of the chosen employees what question they were going to be asked because they thought it was crucial that their answers be genuine and unrehearsed.
From just one day of shooting, marketers produced three 30-second TV spots, radio ads, posters, and print ads. Since the campaign launched, St. Joseph's has received a vast amount of positive community feedback.
The community response to the campaign has been "heartwarming," says Bill Larson, marketing director for St. Joseph's.
"Over and over we heard community members say the 'What Matters Most' campaign touched them and could not have depicted St. Joseph's Hospital in a more suitable manner," says Bill Larson, marketing director for St. Joseph's. "Over a period of several months the faces and messages of our colleagues became part of our community's households. We were able to ignite the feelings we had hoped for and showcased our hospital as a caring, hopeful, genuine place where patients are cared for by people who are their friends and neighbors. And our colleagues—they loved the experience and the part they played in giving a face and heart to our hospital."

Two out of the three Mississippi Public Service Commissioners think a law that has allowed Mississippi Power Company to hide the rate impacts of its proposed $2.4-billion power plant is unfair.
Under state law, a utility is allowed to designate as confidential any information it wants to keep out of the public view.
To uncover the information, a third party must make a request through the Public Records Act. The utility then has 30 days to petition Hinds County Chancery Court to rule in its favor or turn over the documents if the court chooses not to rule in its favor.
The 190,000 customers of Mississippi Power Company have little idea what effect in real dollars the Kemper County clean coal plant would have on their monthly electric bills.
Outside Commission proceedings, MPC has said rates will go up "about a third" whether Kemper is built or a natural gas-fired alternative is used.
Commissioner and Chairman Brandon Presley made a motion on May 20 to open a docket to consider amending the rule pertaining to confidential document filings. Presley believes the Commission ought to have the authority to allow or disallow a utility to mark information as confidential.
Commissioners Leonard Bentz and Lynn Posey voted to table the issue until the June 3 Commission meeting.
"This rule does nothing but protect the utilities…and to heck with the consumer," Presley said. "We (the commissioners) are the representatives for the public interest, but if a consumer comes to me and asks me what the addition of this power plant is going to do to his rates, I have to say, 'I'm sorry. The utility told me I can't tell you that,'" Presley said.
Bentz has said he is also unhappy that rate impacts for Kemper are hidden from Mississippi Power's customers.
"Those numbers should be made available to the public," Bentz has said. "The ratepayers need to know the impacts. When the bills go up, they're not going to call (company CEO) Anthony Topazi. They're going to call me … The whole story is not getting told."
While Presley does not favor the Kemper plant, Bentz did vote for an April 29 order that conditionally approved the project. Bentz' district comprises most of the citizens who will be paying for the plant if it goes forward.
"It is frustrating. I want to build this plant, but I want everybody to know exactly what is going to happen when we build this plant. I have to look Gulf Coast residents in the eye and tell them I did everything I could to get the information on the table," Bentz said.
Commissioner Lynn Posey doesn't have a strong opinion about the law.
Regarding the rule, Posey said, "I don't know a reason why off the top of my head (rate impacts) would be confidential… I would not object to looking into it." However, as the law is being interpreted now, the court has the ultimate authority, and "to some extent that's probably not a bad thing," he said.
MPC filed a request for a rehearing on the plant, saying the conditions put forth in the April 29 order make the project impossible to finance. The Commission has said it will likely rule on that motion on May 26.

Evolution of the art foundation
The Foundation will undertake the challenge to comprehend the span of exchange of all possible cultures from East to West. The intention is to collect, exhibit, preserve and conduct visual research in areas on international art with attention to visual research in the Middle East, concentrating largely on living artists, in the fundamental moments of their contributions to our time. The Aïshti Foundation further proposes public education, endeavoring to put its programs in relation to the most current international research. The collection of the Foundation consists of approximately 1,200 works, of painting, sculpture, drawing, video and works of new media. More than 150 artists are represented, and the collection includes many works, which mark the first 10 years of the 21st century, from 2000 to 2010. As we were envisioning the landmark building that would house the Aïshti Foundation, I approached local and international architects who expressed interest in designing the structure. By coincidence, I met David Adjaye, the celebrated British architect who actually lived and studied in Beirut as a young child. We connected immediately – I liked David's energy and his enthusiasm for the project. In record time, he presented a terrific design for the planned Aïshti Foundation. This is a preview of his work, to give you an idea of the what the final building will look like once it's completed, in roughly one-and-a-half years' time.

Every year, towns and villages across the Borders mark the tradition of Common Riding, with this year's celebrations, called Return to the Ridings, marking the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Hornshole.
The battle, which took place in 1514, marked a major victory for the Scottish forces, which were locked in a struggle with the English for control of the Border. The Battle of Flodden, which had taken place the previous year, saw the English devastate the Scots army. During that terrible defeat, many of the men from the town of Hawick were killed.
At the battle of Hornshole, however, the men of Hawick managed to push back the imposing English force, beating the army and stealing their banner.

Each area in the Borders celebrates the Common Riding differently, with the shortest proceedings lasting two days and the longest lasting two weeks. The first Common Riding of the season takes place in Hawick, followed by (among others) West Linton, Selkirk, Peebles, Melrose, Galashiels, Jedburgh, Duns, Kelso, Musselburgh, Langholm, Lauder and Coldsteam.
The event, which dates back to 1703, has taken place every year since then, except during wartime and in 2001, following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
Douglas Turnbull has been involved with several of the Ridings. "My earliest memory is watching Cornet Ronald Gibson lead the Friday morning procession - this would be 1970, I'd be four years old.
"It is the ambition of every Teri (native of Hawick) to be Hawick Cornet. When I'd saved up I was able to hire a pony and follow Cornet David Brown in 1979. I couldn't afford lessons and a pony so I learned on the ride-outs. You get lots of advice and help. The ride-outs are a precursor to the main event, where the Cornet leads a cavalcade to nearby villages during May."
"To commemorate the 500th anniversary the horse (a memorial statue which stands in the centre of Hawick) has been completely refurbished, stripping it back and repainting it so it is now as it was in 1914. There is a re-enactment of the events at Hornshole, and a new Common Riding statue is being unveiled ."
One of the main themes of the Ridings is the idea of bringing back people to the town. "Each year exiles are welcomed back with a civic reception on the Wednesday immediately prior to the Common Riding. People with connections to Hawick will be returning from the following countries for this year's common riding event - USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Qatar, Germany and Mongolia, as well as England, Wales and Ireland."
Hawick Common Riding takes places on June 6. See hawickcommonriding.com

Legal Question in Workers Comp in North Carolina
disability rating in reference to continued employment
I have worked at my co for 13 years and had a injury on jan 27 2000; was out of work for 30 days. I fell on snow and ice clearing entrances to plant so work could start up again. upon release from doctor i was rated with a 20% permanant disability.The ins co and employer tells me now if i receive compasation i would have to resign. and or not receive anything and continue to work and have future coverage. This was a back injury; 3 compaced verterbraes and 3 cracked ribs.this not seem right to me.what can i do; i can not bend and have pain daily.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: disability rating in reference to continued employment
You are being misinformed. With a 20% disability to you back, you are greatly impaired and may even be totally disabled. If you are not disabled totally and are earning the same or greater wages than before the injury at a job that is regularly found in the economy, you are entitled to payment on your rating and continued coverage under worker's compensation. You have two years from the date of the payment on your rating to re-open your claim for change of condition. Given the 20% rating to your back, you need the advice of an attorney.

the perceived threat around the vulnerability is extremely high, as pictures in all sorts of applications could trigger the code, such as internet explorer, firefox, indexing from google desktop, and microsoft outlook. the question many companies are now facing is how do they protect their enterprises until microsoft comes out with a patch? the sans institute's internet storm center (isc) has advised users to use an unofficial patch to protect their systems, and an msi package for easy deployment has been posted. another possible option is to unregister a dll file, shimgvw.dll, although it is not confirmed 100% whether that protects a system or not.
microsoft has indicated that it has not seen widespread attacks taking advantage of the vulnerability, and has suggested that safe browsing will help avoid being compromised. it is unclear whether a patch from microsoft is still being finished, or if the company is hoping to avoid an emergency patch release.
more information on this topic is available from computer world, info world or sans.
christopher's opinion
there is nothing i love more than a win-win situation. do we protect our pcs and use an unauthorized patch, or do we play the microsoft waiting game? would the unofficial patch protect us, or would it lead to bigger challenges down the road. not that hard of a decision if you only have a few pcs, but what if you have hundreds or even thousands?
i will start by unregistering the .dll on my home pcs, and then keeping a close eye on sans. should this get nasty, my pcs are getting the patch. i'll deal with the ramifications should it cause some hiccups, but it's been tested and so far looks good. so, that answers the home pc questions–what if you manage an enterprise?
then i wait. i test the unfficial patch as much as possible, and i contact my microsoft rep and ask, off the record, about ramifications of using a non-microsoft patch. and i get the unofficial patch as close to deployment as possible without hitting the go button. this looks like it could be bad, but i'm not ready to throw in the towel. i've been through enough issues where support was limited, because of how or what software was installed, and that's not fun with a boat load of pcs.
whatever you chose to do, keep an eye on the web, as the ride might get a little bumpy.

ms released it early due to pressure and the testing being done early… check your windows update. – by jlm

not on the ms mailing list are we? the wmf patch is out.

"the question many companies are now facing is how do they protect their enterprises until microsoft comes out with a patch? "
switch to linux.
nothing gets microsoft off it's butt to fix a problem like talking about making the move to linux.
– by rax
|patch is out (9:05am est fri jan 06 2006)
as terrapin says, the official patch is out, i loaded it this morning. – by h00kw0rm
|re:patch is out (9:09am est fri jan 06 2006)
beware, sometimes microsoft puts out patches that do nothing or have other bugs just to buy some time.
in other words, you load it first and tell me how it goes if your still able to access the internet.
– by rax
|fudboys (9:25am est fri jan 06 2006)
patch was released yesterday, packaged by our it guys, and installed this morning..
guess what, rax…i can still use my pc!
freakin' linux fanboys….. – by yadyada
|beware (10:08am est fri jan 06 2006)
the thing requires a reboot though. i clicked no, to reboot at a later time, but it still started closing my programs, so careful with it on servers. – by dj geek
|thinking (10:37am est fri jan 06 2006)
i think it's a pitty we all have to run around like chickens with our heads cut off every month, or more now, just because we think we a locked into using one platform. have we become so complacent about our operating systems? do we just say 'well this is what we've got and that's just the way it is. we must adapt to them.'
last i checked we are the consumer and we are supposed to be driving things. lately though i've been feeling like a sheep being herded.
open source here i come. – by paradigm shift
|yadyada (11:38am est fri jan 06 2006)
good to hear but just because the patch did not crash your computer does not mean you are in the clear.
i will hope for the best, power off my systems over the weekend and if all you beta patch are still ok on monday i will load it.
– by rax
|that makes it three serious zero day exploit since august (11:41am est fri jan 06 2006)
from last november
old ie vulnerability upgraded to extremely critical
linux, unix and mac os x never had a serious zero day exploit ever. – by
|moot (11:54am est fri jan 06 2006)
microsoft's patch came out yesterday. – by topher
|ah (11:56am est fri jan 06 2006)
after dealing with enough script kidd shite at work! i now have a current upto date ghost image of my pc at home all drivers and the basic apps i use….takes less than an hour to re-install my base system… most of my storage in on a second drive so i dont have to worry about lossing files.
however i will apply the patch to night and see how it goes. if it blows up i have a plan. – by phreakx
|ban .wmf's? (12:42pm est fri jan 06 2006)
as far as i know, only a few websites even use .wmf picture files.
why not just block those files through your router/web browser?
|i patched mine (1:24pm est fri jan 06 2006)
by setting the keyboard on fire. kills those nasty bugs. – by itards
|your main threat is using a ms patch (2:15pm est fri jan 06 2006)
as bad as their software is, how bad do you think these patches are? most do not even do what they say. that's why you test. if the patch is bad, more users will be affected than by the virus. ms doesn't care about their customers, and is glad wsus doesn't work. but i know many of you wouldn't have your jobs if it wasn't for patching, so … – by good luck
|"good luck" (3:18pm est fri jan 06 2006)
you're a moron.
you're obviously talking out of your ass and don't know thing 1 about microsoft patches.
in an environment of about 3700 pcs we have not had a ms patch break anything in the past 3 years. 1000 of these pcs are in a development centers and have a lot of homebrew apps on them. i've had to roll back patches 3 times on servers. all 3 times we found out after the fact that someone had made changes to the servers that would not take effect until after the server was rebooted. the last time someone changed the port oracle listens on. microsoft has made revisions on about 3 or 4 patches within the past year or so, but the first revision of the patches never caused us any problems. – by what a clown
|hey what a clown (4:23pm est fri jan 06 2006)
eat me. i mean it. eat me. pick up your fork and knife and eat me. – by tard watcher
|re: what a clown (6:13pm est fri jan 06 2006)
i have several earlier ms patches that slowing my machines to a crawl. you must be the usual liar because no one believes you.
here are the news about the problem with their patch for the previous zero day exploits:
critical windows patch may wreak pc havoc
– by
|patching 3700 cost $5,000,000 a year (10:05pm est fri jan 06 2006)
having oricle on them cost $10,000,000. since we use wsus none of the patches ever got applied. – by what a clown
|true, we could use linux (7:55pm est sat jan 07 2006)
but you have to remember that linux sucks, and windows is a far superior operating system.
do you linux fanboys every wonder why like 99% of the population uses windows? – by gei
|what is a virus? (2:14am est sun jan 08 2006)
i use debian gnu/linux. are viruses real? windows is for smart people who know how to use computers. i just turn on the computer and use it. – by viva gnu software
|uhhhh (10:36pm est sun jan 08 2006)
99% ??????
please don't make up numbers.
many people use the ms os because it is the only thing they know of.
ring any bells???intel
so even though it might not be the best, people will use it. – by ggm
|by the way (10:38pm est sun jan 08 2006)
i am not a linux fanboy.
i do use windows.
the difference is…..i know what i'm doing when it comes to computers. most people are compu-tarded. – by ggm
|re: gei & ggm (9:32am est mon jan 09 2006)
to gei, the usual idiot window fanboy: windows does not 99% you lying idiot. why is microsoft waging a war with linux with the fud full of "the get the fact" advertising companing. microsoft are not targeting their fud towards other operating system such as mac os x and unix.
there is a going to a massive linux rollout to china and south korea's schools to the "compu-tarded" school children. – by gei the usual idiot

We're getting close to what is historically the best time of the year for stocks.
I took all of the historical data for the Dow Jones from 1896 through 2010 and found that the streak from December 22nd to January 6th is the best time of the year for stocks. (December 21st and January 7th have also been positive days for the market but only by a tiny bit.)
Over the 16-day run from December 22nd to January 6th, the Dow has gained an average of 3.23%. That's 41% of the Dow's average annual gain of 7.87% occurring over less than 5% of the year. (It's really even less than 5% since the market is always closed on December 25th and January 1st. The Santa Claus Rally Stretch has made up just 3.8% of all trading days.)
Here's a look at the Dow's average performance in December and January (December 21st is based at 100):
You should note how small the vertical axis is. Ultimately, we're not talking about a very large move.

You'll be seeing plenty of cats and dogs around town now that the ANIMAL PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION OF MISSOURI's Harry & Hanley sculptures have been unveiled. The larger-than-life creations by local sculptor HARRY WEBER are part of a fundraising project to mark the APA's 90th anniversary. Ten dogs and 10 cats, custom-designed by area artists, can be found at locations, including Clayton City Hall, Plaza Frontenac, The Muny and Mister Guy Clothiers in Ladue.

In related news, CAM is the recipient of a $75,000 grant from THE ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION FOR THE VISUAL ARTS for a major solo exhibition of the work of American artist NICOLE EISENMAN. The exhibit is billed as the artist's most comprehensive mid-career survey to date and the first in the U.S. Nicole Eisenman opens Jan. 24 and will run through April 13.
Kudos to the MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM and its 2012 exhibition, Underneath It All, the recipient of a prestigious Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History.

Cory Emmerton made an immediate impact for the Brampton Battalion.
Acquired yesterday from the Kingston Frontenacs for forwards Justin Levac and Thomas Middup and five draft picks, Emmerton had a goal and two assists in Brampton's 5-4 overtime win in Kitchener against the Rangers last night.
A second-round pick by the Detroit Red Wings in 2006, Emmerton has been invited to try out for the Canadian national junior team for the world junior later this month.
Luke Lynes scored in overtime for the Battalion. Cody Hodgson, Luke VanMoerkerke and Graham McNabb also scored for the Battalion.
Justin Azevedo, Scott Timmins, Spencer Anderson and Alex Dzielski scored for Kitchener.
At Belleville, Matt Beleskey recorded a hat trick as the Bulls trampled visiting St. Michael's.

This Karlsson Rainbow Wall Clock is better than I imagined, I love this colourful clock! It looks great in my kitchen and I have all of the colours in it to choose from for the next time I decorate. I'm one happy customer!
This Karlsson Rainbow Wall Clock is a lovely bright addition to the study wall. It's really easy to read.
I needed a new kitchen clock and didn't want to be tied down to a single colour so the Karlsson Rainbow Wall Clock seemed perfect. Coloured lines for the hours could be slightly wider to make it more colourful, but it does the job just fine.
This Karlsson Rainbow Wall Clock is very smart. It keeps time properly and looks really cool!

LAST night, Mohammed Abbasi joined a very exclusive club.
The 72-year-old Labour city councillor was elected as Oxford's new Lord Mayor at a ceremony in the Town Hall.
He will be only the second person to be Lord Mayor twice, after he served in the role for two months when city councillor Alan Armitage quit last March.
At the time he became Oxford's first non-white Lord Mayor.
Mr Abbasi has chosen mental health charity Restore and disability charity Oxfordshire Unlimited as the two he will support during his year.
He said: "I feel very lucky that in a very short period of time I have done this role twice, once by accident.
"I chose Restore because it is in my neighbourhood and charity begins at home. It is between my home and the mosque and I pass it every time I go there. I chose Oxfordshire Unlimited because some of my constituents suggested it."
Mr Abbasi came to the UK from Pakistan in 1963 and worked as a telephone engineer for the GPO – the predeccesor to British Telecom.
He became Oxford's first Muslim councillor in 2002 and – apart from a two-year gap – has served on the council ever since.
In 2013, Lib Dem councillor Mr Armitage, who has since left the city council, stood down over "inappropriate" comments made to a schoolgirl in 2012. Mr Abbasi, then deputy Lord Mayor, replaced him for two months. The only other person to serve twice as Lord Mayor was Olive Gibbs, who served in 1974/75, and again in 1981/82 after Henry Nimmo died in office.
Green Craig Simmons was elected to serve as his deputy with Labour's Rae Humberstone as Sheriff of Oxford.

Sarkisian kept players focused on football during crazy week
Steve Sarkisian might be a rookie as USC's head coach, but he's no rookie to the head-coaching profession.
Sarkisian kicked off his sixth season as a collegiate head coach Saturday night in USC's 52-13 win over Fresno State. Still, for all that he's seen and done in nearly a decade of being a head coach, what he encountered in the day leading up to his debut with USC was unlike anything he could really prepare for.
"I said to the staff, jokingly, 'There's nowhere in the head coaching manual do you turn to Section 13.2 and it tells you how to deal with this stuff that we dealt with this week,'" Sarkisian said. "You deal with it and you trust your gut and you go with your instincts and you rely on the people that are close to you and you believe in your beliefs and you move forward and that's all you can do."
As the coach sat at the podium Saturday night during his postgame press conference, still basking in the glow of his offense's 702-yard performance in their romping of the Bulldogs, he still wasn't quite sure he handled the off-the-field events of the week perfectly.
He's certain he wanted to keep his team focused on football and, while the Trojans may not have been perfect Saturday night, they were really, really good.
It was tough sledding, considering his most experienced cornerback, leader of the secondary and team captain, fabricated a tale depicting himself to be hero. And another player quit the team and then went onto social media to call his former head coach a racist.
"I, maybe, brought it up to them twice this week," Sarkisian said of the off-the-field distractions. "It just wasn't going to be a focus of ours. I wasn't going to let an external factor motivate us or not motivate us and it never will. That will never happen.
"We're going to be faced with adversity all the time and we found out about ourselves individually and we find out about our group collectively and I think we found out a lot about this team. This team has great leadership. These guys are mature. They've been through a lot and I thought they handled this week just like professionals."
Sarkisian was so convinced, he didn't feel the need to give his team a motivational speech before kickoff, sensing he had a "hungry" team.
The Trojans devoured the Bulldogs in every facet of the game in Sarkisian's debut, showing no resemblance of a team that endured one of the craziest off-the-field weeks in program history. And it was much to the delight of the head coach.
"I don't think we could have asked for more," Sarkisian said.

Tupac Shakur Performs in Hologram Form at Coachella 2012 (VIDEO)
Deceased rapper and actor Tupac Shakur made his return to the stage at Coachella 2012 in the form of a hologram performing alongside ex-label mates Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
The outdoor festival hosted various acts in the music world from all different genres, but no one performance stood out as much as Shakur's hologram performing some of his hits including "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikas Most Wanted" with Snoop Dogg.
Nate Dogg was originally expected to appear as a hologram at Coachella, however those plans were changed as former label mates and friends Kurupt and Warren G came out to pay tribute to the late singer during a rendition of one of his hit collaborations with Snoop Dogg: "Ain't No Fun."
During Shakur's performance, the background on the stage went black as the rapper appeared and greeted Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and the crowd in attendance.
The intro sounded like it was pre-recorded by someone whose voice sounded similar to Shakur's while the hologram sang along with the album versions of both songs. He was joined on stage by Snoop Dogg for "2 of Amerikas Most Wanted."
The hologram disappeared at the end of the set after a huge white light appeared in back of the rapper.
Shakur died on Sept. 13, 1996 after suffering multiple gunshot wounds during a shooting that took place on the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7.
He is largely regarded as one— if not the— greatest hip hop artists of all time and has sold over 75 million records worldwide.
The rapper released six LPs while alive, and over five albums have been released since his death in 1996.
Tupac Shakur was signed to Death Row Records in 1995 where he worked together with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on various records.
He also had a successful career as an actor starring in films with Janet Jackson and Jim Belushi in "Gang Related" and "Poetic Justice."

At a benefit dinner, community activist Maria Cervantes overhears two men plotting a terrorist attack that could rock Miami to its core. But before she can alert authorities, she's almost killed in a massive explosion - and wakes up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. As the sole survivor of the attack, she is now a person of interest to the NSA - and especially to Agent Cade O'Reilly. Because Maria is the one woman Cade has never been able to forget.
Years ago, they were closer than either was willing to admit - until Cade disappeared when Maria needed him most. Now he's sticking by her, whether she likes it or not. Because the memories locked inside her mind could hold vital clues to the next attack. Because terrorists want her dead - and because he never wants to let her go again.
Contains mature themes.

As I read over my original review of Bound to Danger (below) I find that I loved this book just as much the second time around as I did the first time. But this go around I listened on audio. Sophie Eastlake does a good job of bringing Ms. Reus' characters to life. My only complaint is that at time the male voice sound a little stuffy. But other than that, I enjoyed the non-stop action of this story.
Original review: Eight years is a long time to stay away from the one you love. But that is what Cade O'Reilly did and he had his reasons. But when Maira's name come acrossed the board as needing protection he know that he was the only one that could do it. He will do anything for Maira, except let her go this time. This time he plans to stay, but will Maira want him to after she learns of his secrets?
Bound to Danger is the second book in Katie Reus' news Deadly Ops series. Bound to Danger is every bit as good as Targeted (bk 1). From page one there is not stop action. And even in the middle of a life and death situation Katie is able to let our hero & heroine have a great love story.
I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook from Katie Reus and Audible.com in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

Great Second Story in Series.

Albert Jackson woke up Saturday morning just wanting to see a little sunshine to break up an otherwise dismal Georgia basketball season.
The Bulldogs delivered more than a ray of hope as they upset their most bitter conference rival to snap a 0-for-2009 losing skid.
A pair of late buckets by Zac Swansey and Trey Thompkins helped Georgia to a 88-86 win against Florida at Stegeman Coliseum. Terrance Woodbury scored a career-high 32 as the Bulldogs snapped an 11-game losing skid, including nine in the Southeastern Conference.
"We found plenty of sunshine today, man," Jackson said. "That smile I've been looking for in that locker room finally came back. It's been a long time since I've seen my teammates smiling. It feels great for the seniors like Wood (Terrance Woodbury) and Corey (Butler). They'd never beaten Florida ever. I feel almost as good as winning the SEC championship last year."
Georgia (10-15, 1-9 in SEC) had lost its last 11 against the Gators (19-6, 6-4). The victory snaps Georgia's longest losing skid since 1975 and is interim coach Pete Herrmann's first as a head coach since 1992 at Navy.
Georgia had not won since beating Kennesaw State 72-62 on New Year's Eve.
"I haven't beaten Florida in anything, ever, in my whole Georgia career," Woodbury said. "We were coming in 0-9, that's kind of tough because Florida's a great team. But we broke our streak. We won the game. We beat them for myself and for Corey. So it was high emotions, high emotions."
Woodbury hit 9 of 13 from the field, including 7 of 10 from the 3-point line. His 32 points eclipsed his previous career high of 27 earlier this season against Missouri.
Georgia's other senior Butler scored nine points, had four assists and grabbed three rebounds.
"I lied the other day when I said it didn't matter if we went the entire SEC season without a win as long as the younger guys got better, I'd be okay," Butler said. "But I lied. I wanted a win against Florida and for our younger players to get better. We haven't beaten since I've been here. We finally beat Florida, man that feels good."
In addition to Woodbury's 32, Dustin Ware had 11 points and five assists. Thompkins had 11 points and eight rebounds.
Walter Hodge led Florida with 22 points. Nick Calathes had 16 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds. Chandler Parsons had 11 points while Alex Tyus and Erving Walker each had 10 for the Gators.
Georgia led most of the game. But Florida 79-76 lead when Walker hit a jumper with 7:20 left. Woodbury tied the game 84-84 with a pair of free throws with 5:21 left.
Both teams went scoreless until Ware penetrated the middle of Florida's defense and found Swansey for a layup to give Georgia an 86-84 lead with 2:54 left. Thompkins gave the Bulldogs an 88-84 lead with 59 seconds left when he hit a bank shot.
"We've got winners in that locker room. We don't have quitters," Ware said. "I could tell in pregame. We were all bouncing around in warmups. We were screaming and excited. I haven't seen that in a month in our team."
A layup by Chandler Parsons brought Florida within 88-86 with 45 seconds left. After Woodbury missed a 3-pointer, Florida had two shots to at least tie the game. Walker missed a runner from the wing and Walter Hodge missed a jumper from the top of the key.
"When you look at what happened to their team and how they are last in the league in shooting percentage," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "When shots start going in, the confidence grows in ways which is unexplainable."
Georgia held Florida scoreless for 5:10 until Parson's layup with 45 seconds left. Georgia outscored Florida 6-2 in the final 5:55 of the game.
Georgia came off one of its worst games of the season in a 79-48 loss at Tennessee on Wednesday. But the Bulldogs reversed that momentum by scoring a 54 points in the first half against Florida, the most the Bulldogs had scored in a half all season. Georgia hit its first seven shots and took a 21-8 lead in the first 4:40 of the game.
"We came into this game, we came into the last game and we came into the game before that saying that we needed to come out and be aggressive," Woodbury said. "We couldn't keep getting ourselves in these holes by 16, 18, 20 points and trying to come back. That's the hardest thing you can do."
Woodbury hit his first eight shots of the game and scored 20 points in the first half. His 32 points were the most by a Bulldog since Sundiata Gaines hit 32 last season also against Florida.
"It's great for these kids, they've been going to school every day and getting looked-at and told they weren't going to amount to much," interim coach Pete Herrman said. "They came out and they were very aggressive. I said that's the way we wanted to be in the game, aggressive and physical. Wood (Woodbury) was just out of sight in the first half. He put as good a shooting exhibition as I've been around. He was just on fire."

Darren Murray has got fresh targets with Portadown
Mark McAllister has welcomed Darren Murray's change of heart and wants to see his strike partner terrorise more defences in a Portadown jersey.
Linfield, Cliftonville - the Ports host the Reds today - and Derry City were interested in securing Murray's signature and a Shamrock Park exit looked on the cards when the player put in a transfer request.
Portadown, however, insisted the 23-year-old was not for sale and their resolve to keep hold of the striker has paid off as Murray now says he's happy to stay put.
The Ports stated yesterday: "We can confirm that Darren Murray has withdrew the transfer request he submitted to the club in July & has committed his future to the club."
Former Linfield favourite McAllister says he's now looking forward to watching Murray weave more magic in mid-Ulster.
"I just found out about the news on Friday and it's great news for the club because we all know what Darren can do and he showed his class again against Crusaders on the opening day.
"He's a massive goal threat and I always hoped he would stay. From speaking to Ronnie (McFall) I got the impression the club really didn't want Darren to leave and when Ronnie feels strongly about something then you believe that is the case.
"The club have done very well to hold onto Darren and the player himself trained hard and just wanted to play football."
When Murray expressed a desire to leave the Ports he suggested that a switch to a top Belfast club would enhance his chances of making it across the water but the striker enjoyed a trial at Morton this week and McAllister believes impressive performances with the Ports can see him realise his dream.
"Scouts don't just go to matches in Belfast, they go to games everywhere," added McAllister. "If Darren scores goals for Portadown he will be noticed.
"There are a lot of good young players around the league and they don't just play for the Belfast sides. Darren just needs to work hard and we all realise he is good enough to make it at a higher level if he keeps improving."
McAllister is available to get his season up and running today after being suspended for the first two battles.
"The boys have done well without me so let's see if I can get into the team," added the former Linfield striker.
"It was a tough start for us but two wins on the bounce is fantastic. Cliftonville are a very good side and it will be a tough game for us. For us to be successful this season we must improve our disciplinary record because we know we have a team that can challenge for the league title."
Murray's u-turn is a blow to Reds boss Tommy Breslin who waved farewell to Joe Gormley this summer but Cliftonville still have enough attacking flair to maintain their stunning start to the campaign today.
As for the man at the centre of the transfer saga, Murray will be relieved the speculation is at an end.
After his two goals against Crusaders, Murray said: "The last month has been difficult and you get speculation everywhere. You don't know what's going to happen next and I was waiting for information like everyone else.
"All you can do is keep your head down and turn up for training with a determination to put in a good performance.
"Once the game starts it's all about the football and you forget about everything else."

A simple antenna sits on top of Salon 606's brick chimney in Harrisburg.
To dozens of families in the half-mile radius, that piece of metal can mean access to educational resources, employment searches and other daily benefits the Internet can offer.
On Monday, members of the new collaborative workspace group The Clubhou.se and non-profit SmartKids.sc revealed the installation of a wireless Internet hot spot in Harrisburg.
The hot spot at 606 Crawford Ave. is the first of planned installations in low-income neighborhoods, a project that Clubhou.se
members call Operation Lighthouse.
"It works two ways because it provides the Internet to people who don't have it, and it makes us aware of the people in the area around us," said Clubhou.se co-founder Eric Parker.
The idea sprouted in November between a group of tech-savvy professionals attending the CSRA Innovation Festival and Hackathon in Augusta. The group wanted to give residents in low-income areas free access to the Internet and exposure to educational resources. About a month later, several of those tech people launched The Clubhou.se on Broad Street, a workspace where members pay $100 a month to collaborate on projects or just absorb inspiration from working alongside other professionals in a shared space.
Some members construct robots, tear apart computers or build Web sites there. The roughly 24 members also hold workshops and open houses for the public.
They organized the hot spot in Harrisburg by contacting Salon 606 owner Butch Palmer and arranging to keep the modem and antenna at his salon.
The group fronted the initial $500 to purchase hardware and will pay $50 a month to keep the service going. It hopes to hold information sessions periodically to teach residents and children how to program and operate computers, said Clubhou.se
co-founder Ed Elser.
Clubhou.se members acknowledged that many of the lower-income residents don't own a computer, but they plan to address that issue.
Elser said his group hopes to distribute such devices as the Raspberry Pi, a credit card-size computer that plugs into a television.
At the hot spot unveiling, Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver said The Clubhou.se is playing a key role in bridging the digital divide at a time when Augusta was recently named second in the nation for job growth in the technology sector.
"It's great to see good things happening in Harrisburg," Copenhaver said.

You are Reading this right…the Fightin Phillies
Reading's Eastern League club has served as the Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies since 1967, the longest current relationship in all of baseball. And throughout this enduring arrangement, the team has simply been known as the Reading Phillies.
Until Saturday when they officially changed their name to the Fightin Phillies.
The team's primary logo features an ostrich, a nod to the enduring popularity of the franchise's Crazy Hot Dog Vendor. The bespectacled character's ballpark routine involves riding his pet ostrich, Rodrigo, onto the field and throwing frankfurters into the crowd while screaming at the top of his lungs.
The ostrich motif is just one of many new looks swirling around the Fightin Phils. The navy blue home cap features a punching "F" (in which part of the letter takes the shape of a fist), while the lighter blue road cap features an anthropomorphized hot dog with a cursive "B" scrawled upon him in mustard. This latter mark references Reading's status as "Baseballtown," a nickname bestowed upon the city in honor of its longstanding passion for the national pastime. And chief among the array of alternate caps is a navy blue number sporting a deep red feathery "R," which is a nod to the 1950s-era Reading Indians (a team that featured the likes of Roger Maris and Rocky Colavito).

To party or not to party - that is the question! And if its the former, I suggest you some mouth-watering pitchers!!
Pitchers can be really fun while adding a nice community vibe. And if you really want to share the love, chuck the individual glasses, drop a few straws into that pitcher, hurdle up in a circle and go for glory! Chug chug... Slurp slurp... Till its time for a refill.
Pitchers are ideal for personal house parties, mad-scale alcohol festivals, walks on the beach,etc. A great time-saver for the guests & the bartender, it is much easier to prepare 5 drinks at once in a giant glass(pitcher) than separately.
So now most cocktails could get upsized into a pitcher, although mainly it would be tall drinks, fizzy drinks and slushy drinks.
Some all time favourite classics-in-pitchers are:
Margarita, Sangria, Mojito, Long Island Iced Tea, Blue Lagoon, Pina Colada, Bloody Mary, Sex on the Beach, Romanov-Redbull, Cuba Libre and the list goes on. Which ever cocktail you select just multiply the quantity of ingredients into the number of guests you would like to serve [keeping in mind the size of the pitcher too].
Here's the recipe for a Bloody Mary pitcher - (for 5 people in a 1.5lt pitcher)
Romanov vodka - 300ml
Tomato juice - 1 lt
Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 50-60 ml
Tabasco sauce - 8 ml (half tsp)
Worcestershire sauce - 10 ml (half tsp)
Salt & pepper
Salt rim 5 whisky glasses or pilsners. (*To salt rim - hold glass upside down and gently rub a lemon slice on the rim of the glass. Dip in salt glass. Tap off excess salt.)
Pour the Romanov vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, tabasco and Worcestershire sauce into the pitcher and stir with a long spoon. Add a pinch of pepper on the top.
Do not add ice in the pitcher. Drop a few cubes into every salt-rimmed glass and pour the concoction from the top. Add a celery stick for garnish.
Soak up the moment with a couple of these Bloody Mary pitchers with your wild bunch of friends! Cheers!!
