When the news broke that Bacary Sagna had agreed terms over a deal which would see him leave Arsenal and join Manchester City, it's fair to say more than just a few Gunners fans were left feeling pretty miffed.
Now though Arsene Wenger's latest comments could have taken their frustration to the next level, as the Frenchman has speculated that Sagna might have planned to move to the Etihad far earlier than he let on.
Wenger blasts Sagna
As relayed by the Daily Express Wenger has revealed that he offered his former right-back a three year deal to stay in north London - which is at odds with the idea that the player left over wage demands on a one year contract.
The Gunners boss then went on to detail that he thought Sagna had his might made up a long-time ago, which is an theory the Arsenal faithful are unlikely to warm to. The France international is rumoured to be on a whopping £150k-a-week at City, and as such a fair few quarters are criticising him for supposed money-grabbing.
He may no longer be a fan favourite at the Emirates, but at least he's getting paid a kingly sum each week so he probably won't mind.
This news comes off the back of Sagna's recent interviews with City, wherein he detailed exactly why he left north London. The France international confirmed that fellow ex-Gunners Samir Nasri and Gail Clichy had a hand in making his decision to move to the Etihad, whilst he also delivered something of a jibe by insisting that he had chosen to depart Arsenal to increase his chances of winning trophies.
Double Emirates exit
As for Wenger he's got more on his mind to worry about, as both Thomas Vermaelen and Jack Wilshere are said to be wanted by overseas clubs. Vermaelen finds himself in the centre of a transfer wrangle between Barcelona and Manchester United, whereas Wilshere has been linked with a shock switch to Juventus.
Coincidentally it's thought that United's long-running pursuit of Arturo Vidal could be the overriding factor which determines the latter's future, as the Chilean's Serie A club are yet undecided as to whether or not they'll need to replace him. If he does leave, and they subsequently have to fill the hole left by his departure, then they have lined up Wilshere to do just that, and will of course have the money to fund the move.
Yet if United don't force through the move, and Vidal stays at Turin, then it makes sense to assume Juventus won't have nearly the financial clout required to move for Wilshere. Quite the conundrum.

Multiplayer is arguably the heart to any Halo game, and Halo 4 features a robust online multiplayer experience that adquately represents the franchise's signature fast-paced frenetic gameplay.
In Halo 4, multiplayer is split up between two modes: War Games, the classic multiplayer mode featuring slayer and objective playlists; and Spartan Ops, an episodic and dynamic co-operative experience that pits up to four players in objective-based missions. Both War Games and Spartan Ops compliment one another quite nicely, as gamers can freely switch back and forth between the playlists to earn XP as well as complete Weekly, Daily, and Monthly Challenges for more experience.
Halo 4's multiplayer is integrated with the UNSC Infinity, the game's highly advanced flagship. Both War Games and Spartan Ops are affixed under the Infinity namesake, however War Games is loosely represented whereas Spartan Ops has a higher integration, featuring many mini-campaign co-op missions that span weekly episodes and involve the Infinity's crew as a central part of the gameplay.
The FPS action as back full force in Halo 4 as it blends many familiar aspects as well as introducing many new features, maps, and weapons to the mix. With the huge array of Commendations and the massive arsenal of weapon loadouts and customizable Spartan IV armors Halo 4's multiplayer has exponential replay value. The XP progression system rates a player's performance in any given game, analyzing their Commendations and Medals to calculate earned experience. Players also get Spartan Points (SP) to unlock new armor abilities and secondary
War Games
Halo 4's War Games is the quintessential multiplayer experience, offering a mix of the classic fast-paced elements found in every Halo game with brand new features and a dynamic XP ranking system. War Games spans a variety of maps, each with their own distinct terrain, themes, and style, each of which having their own signature elements while still having the breathtaking vistas and incredible visuals that are a standard to Halo's multiplayer.
Players can unlock a multitude of new weapons, Armor Abilities, and other helpful additions like Tacticaland Support packages to turn the tide of battle to their favor. As always, Halo 4 features armor customization, allowing gamers to represent their own brand of style and flair throughout matchmaking.
The XP ranking system has receieved a major overhaul and is much more dynamic than any other Halo game. Players receive XP that is accumulated from their perfomance in battle, taking many factors into consideration including kill/death ratios, game victories, Medals earned in-game, and bonus XP earned from Commendations and Challenges. When players fill their XP bar they earn a new Spartan Rank (SR), unlocking new Loadouts, Armor Abilities, and Tactical and Support Packages to apply to their Spartan IV warrior.
Players also receive Spartan Points (SP) that are like currency (replacing the cR or credits in Halo Reach) used to buy new Armor Abilities (such as Camo, Hologram, or the new Hardlight Shield), Primary and Secondary weapons for Loadouts and Tactical and Support Upgrades (helpful passive abilities that affect players in various helpful ways, such as Shielding which raises the recharge rate for shields, or Dexterity Support Upgrade that allows players to reload and switch weapons faster).
Each Loadout comprises of six parameters: Primary Weapon (DMRs, Battle Rifles, etc), Secondary Weapon (your auxillary back-up weapon, Magnums, Plasma Pistols, etc), a Grenade slot (Frag, Plasma and Pulse Grendades), one Armor Ability (helpful abilities activated in-battle ranging from Holograms, Active Camo, Hardlight Shields and more), a Tactical Package (invaluable passive abilities ranging from faster shielding recharge rates to faster Armor Ability recharges, etc.) and a single Support Upgrade (a second passive ability that can save you in battle, ranging from faster reload/weapon switching speeds to more starting ammo, etc.).
Each of these Loadout parameters are customizable and players can mix-and-match their abilities to create the perfect Loadout for any given gametype, affording a huge amount of flexibility and customization that just wasn't there before. Everything from Armor Abilities to Tactical Packages and Support Upgrades not only require SP to unlock, but also have a Spartan Rank (SR) requirement, rewarding players as they move up through the various ranks.
Along with the Loadouts, players can customize their armor and create their very own personal Spartan IV warrior. The different armor permutations don't add any bonuses and abilities throughout multiplayer, and are simply for aesthetic purposes. There are a multitude of combinations and armor sets to unlock in Halo 4, allowing gamers to change their appearance quite often and unlock different emblems to paint their Spartan IV as they see fit. This level of customization is a fantastic addition and allows players to show off their own personal style as well as afford bragging rights for certain sets–as every piece of armor is unlocked as players level up in Spartan Rank.
As players unlock new weapons and Armor Abilities as they rank up, gamers may see a distinct advantage for veteran gamers versus those who just start out. In actuality, Halo is one of those games where anything can happen, and often the abilities don't present an unfair advantage. While they do afford additional help, they aren't essential, and the ranking system isn't unforgiving or difficult–players can earn a decent amount of XP for each game, even if they don't win.
Along with earning Medals, winning games, and performing well in battle, players can also earn XP for Commendations and the many Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Challenges. Commendations are accumulative bonuses that track the completion of certain objectives, usually a certain amount of kills with a certain weapon or against a certain enemy. When breaking one level of any given Commendation, players earn a bonus amount of XP that is tallied to their end score.
Challenges also afford a bonus chance to earn XP, and are rewarding to gamers who complete various in-game challenges.
Vehicles are a huge part of multiplayer, especially the classic Capture the Flag gametypes or Team Slayer on the bigger levels. Where there's a vehicle, however, there's always a weapon that can destroy it or another vehicle to counter it, providing a sense of fairness throughout multiplayer. Halo 4 truly delivers the signature chaotic multiplayer action that is a staple for any Halo game, raising the bar with new gametypes, modes, maps, and Loadouts to bring a massively enjoyable competitive experience.
The Maps themselves range from high-tech Forerunner constructs to huge open-world areas, and many of them bring back classic battlegrounds such as Valhalla from Halo 3. Every map has its own distinctive weapon placement for each gametype, and offer incredible breathtaking vistas enhanced in Halo 4's amazing graphics, providing impressive visuals.
Overall, Halo 4's War Games is the ultimate FPS matchmaking experience, offering chaotic and fluid competitive action that stands high above most games on the market today. Players battle each other in a futuristic battleground with realistic physics where anything can happen, featuring that distinct brand of havoc that is a signature element for the multiplayer in every Halo game.
War Games is the definitive online FPS competition that pits gamers against players across the world in a bid for supremacy, spanning a multitude of gametypes–some, like Regicide, are brand new, but still featuring the age-old classics like CTF, Infection, and Grifball–maps, Loadouts & Armor Abilities and of course the customizable armors of each Spartan IV warrior.
Spartan Ops
Halo 4's Spartan Ops mode has replaced the Firefight gametype that was featured in Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach, offering a brand-new standalone experience for gamers to enjoy with their friends. Spartan Ops is episodic, featuring a brand new Chapter every week, with five mini-campaign missions that continue a dynamic story arc that compliments Halo 4's campaign. The missions themselves span multiple objectives, many of which include wiping out a huge area of Promeathans and Covenant warriors while activating various things and completing goals.
Instead of taking on the role of Master Chief, players use their own customized Spartan IV in Spartan Ops. The story is more of a side-story that coincides with Halo 4's campaign through the eyes of the force of Spartan IVs that are completing other missions in tandem with Master Chief.
Spartan Ops is an enjoyable experience that affords gamers with a sort of break from the frenetic pressure of War Games, allowing them to kick back and still enjoy a challenge with their friends. The gametype is wholly based on co-operative gameplay, and has a matchmaking system where a single player can be matched up with other players across the nation. The levels themselves are taken right out of Halo 4's campaign, showing the events through the perspective of Spartan IV's known as Crimson.
Commander Palmer, a Spartan IV herself, reigns over Crimson and formulates the missions objectives while working with Commander Lasky and Captain Del Rio of the UNSC Infinity. The story arc is a nice addition as well, considering Firefight had no story and was more of a survival-based arcade mode wherein games fought endless waves of Covenant. Spartan Ops has a series of goals and objectives and has continuity that continues throughout a set ploatline, and the best part of Spartan Ops is that there's always something different coming next week–which keeps things fresh and affords a brand new opportunity as time passes.
This game mode also offers a distinct challenge, especially on Legendary. While they are meant for team-based co-operative player, it is possible to play these levels on your own on any difficulty. Spartan Ops provides intense action and allows gamers to build a solid team, earning XP along the way. There are also many Challenges aimed at Spartan Ops for players to complete, offering more XP for each challenge.
The XP earned from each match is pretty impressive, even when you complete the missions on your own. The ranking system tallies up your performance in Spartan Ops the same way it does in War Games, giving bonus XP for Medals and various Commendations completed throughout the game.
Each chapter also brings with it an impressive cinematic sequence. Chapter 1: Departure's sequence is quite lengthy and can be seen from within the game or on Halo Waypoint. Departure actually takes a look at just how they get the MJOLNIR armor on the Spartan IV's, and looks at the inter-personal relationships of the Spartans of Crimson Team.
Overall, Spartan Ops is a great mode that compliments War Games quite well, affording a variety of missions that each have their own story and objectives. The episodic nature of the series brings something new with every week, keeping gameplay fresh and continuing the story arc presented in the original chapters. In Spartan Ops players can not only train their skills and hone their reflexes, but they can strengthen their teamwork skills to build the ultimate team of Spartan IV's to take on enemies in War Games.

Not considered influential in their society, women still have a great impact sharing Jesus' love in Asia.
After she finishes her daily duties as a housemaid for four families, 65-year-old Amini doesn't go home and rest. She eagerly sets out to visit homes and distribute Gospel tracts, sharing the thing she values most in her life: Christ's love.
Amini lives alone; her three children are grown and out of the house. She doesn't have any family to care for her, but she has the Lord and belongs to His family of believers.
Knowing Jesus has made such a difference in her life, Amini wants to share Him with everyone around her. Even though she can't read herself, Amini isn't discouraged. She does everything possible to actively share her hope with the people of her village.
Amini works cleaning houses from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. each day, then goes from house to house handing out Gospel tracts and telling people about God's love. She usually doesn't get home until 9:00 each night!
"Amini is a great role model for the younger people of our church," writes GFA's correspondent. "Please uphold this lady in your valuable prayers!"

The disparate labor market impacts of monetary policy
Employing two widely used approaches to identify the effects of monetary policy, this paper explores the differential impact of policy on the labor market outcomes of teenagers, minorities, out-of-school youth, and less-skilled individuals. Evidence from recursive vector autoregressions and autoregressive distributed lag models that use information on the Federal Reserve's contractionary initiatives indicate that the employment-population ratio of minorities is more sensitive to contractionary monetary policy than that of whites. The ratio falls primarily because of an increase in unemployment and not because of a decline in labor force participation. Monetary policy appears to have a disproportionate effect on the unemployment rate of teenagers, particularly African American teenagers. Their employment-population ratios fall because of increased difficulty in obtaining employment. The larger responses are not caused by their higher likelihood of having been employed in industries and occupations that are more sensitive to contractionary monetary policy. © 2004 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

Californians generally are–as Hot Chip would sing later on in the night on the Main Stage–"laid-back." And the general theme of the day was for artists to capitalize on those laid-back Cali vibes—by calling them out and then starting an epic dance party.
The first booty-shake-a-thon of the day was courtesy of 2 Chainz. "If you represent California, say f*** yeah," yelled 2 Chainz before breaking into one of his raps. The mainstream rapper was a uniting force with music lovers. The Mojave tent spilled over with every type of festival goer; there were even older people pouring shots and stylish children in the mix.
And while the rapper shouted-out his love of strippers, threw out a plethora of expletives, and raps over thunderous beats about making one's "a**" clap, 2 Chainz was surprisingly tame given his ratchet reputation. Unlike many rappers of 2 Chainz' peer group who sloppily flow while inebriated one chemical or another, 2 Chainz is an impeccable show man with killer live band behind him. "Let's have a moment of silence," said 2 Chainz. "RIP to this motherf***ing stage."

Floating through the crowd, we heard subtle siren calls of music that caught us for a few songs. The voice of young Washington-based soul singer Allen Stone rang with emotive purity across a sea of rapt listeners—probably hearing his voice for the first time. Later on, the Selector blazed up the same stage with their reggae horn section, encouraging passers by to randomly skank.
Dropkick Murphys elicited the same unbridled joy with a surprisingly dense audience who were doing Irish jigs in a punk-rock rip tide while throwing their shoes rebelliously in the air. For Café Tacvba, fans carried giant Mexican flags and hundreds broke out in a popular football chant while frontman Ruben Albarran Ortega let us his infamous laugh.
Glittered gaggles of girls gyrated wildly. Fashion wise, the '90s were in full effect at Coachella this year. The usual waif-thin hippie-flip foxes grinded to 2 Chainz while perched on their boyfriend's shoulders, but a fair number of babes have embraced the full '90s uniform. Fringe was replaced with Spice Girls double knots, booty shorts have given way to palazzo pants and crocheted bikinis, while in full-force on sweltering youngsters, had nothing on the crop top. Fashion photographers could be seen making pseudo-celebrities out of every bro wearing tie-dyed Kurt Cobain homage shirts.
Usually the trends of fashion go hand-in-hand with what's going on in music and the Nouveau-'90s New York raver chic and the stoner grunge vibe fit exactly with the vibe of a lot of the bands and the EDM-heavy line-up.
That's one reason why it was pretty shocking to see how many people showed up for Violent Femmes, a band who's music was mostly popular in the '80s. A lot of them left after the band, fronted by Gordon Gano played hits like "Blister In The Sun" and "Add It Up," but it after the sparse turn-out for some of the veteran bands last night, like Grinderman, it was exciting to see an older band actually resonate with the young crowd. Speaking of Grinderman, super cute side note: At Spiritualized, Nick Cave was swaying in the night breeze with his two children, one of which was wearing a black shirt with the words "Bad Seed" emblazoned across it in white lettering.
However, Violent Femmes could not compete with the magic that was Major Lazer—who definitely went with the '90s theme of the festival. Set in the Mojave tent instead of in the typical Sahara tent where one would imagine the dancehall-moohmbaton-house production team fronted by Diplo, Major Lazer crossed musical boundaries with their crowd-baiting, interactive sets. When we got there, Giovanni Ribisi was wandering through the VIP viewing area with a camera crew while hardcore Diplo fans with signs that said things like "Diplo, you're my idol" bum-rushed barricades that a techie intermittently came with an electric screwdriver device to rescrew in.
Besides their wicked, awe-inspiring beats, Major Lazer used all the tools in their arsenal—babes, bare chests, bubbles, and vuvuzelas. After throwing out the horns to the audience and prompting them to put their hands up, Diplo made it clear that he literally needed the audiences support when he got into an inflatable bubble and was thrown into the audience.
Later, he took off his shirt and waved it through the air, asking the crowd to take their shirts off as well, prompting a lot of girls to go bare-chested and his "twerk team" led the audience in the Harlem Shake (presumably better than Baauer's earlier.)
"If you're from California, put your hands up in the air," yelled one of Diplo's crew just as the sun was setting to a gorgeous golden hue.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Can a trustee of an estate ,who wishes to purchase some of the property,pay from estate funds an agent to represent the estate and protest the the vaule of the property at the apprisal district in order to purchase the property from the estate at the new lower rate without violating is fiducal responsiblities to the estate?
Asked on 9/22/13, 9:23 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
Keith Engelke Law Office of S. Keith Engelke
A representative of the estate can pay an agent to attempt to lower the valuation of estate property as that would benefit the estate by lowering taxes on the estate. However representatives of the estate should probably not purchase property from the estate as this could be interpreted as self dealing.

What is Assessment?
Assessment is a method for faculty to collect feedback on how well students are learning. The purpose of assessment is to provide faculty and students with information and insights needed to improve student learning, teaching strategies, and curriculum. Assessment can be fun and most importantly, puts the responsibility for learning squarely on the student. It also opens a dialogue between the faculty and the student on the teaching/learning process. Overall, assessment is a process of self-reflection with an outlook towards improvement.
Faculty provide continuous feedback to students to help students improve their learning strategies and study habits so that they can become more independent, successful learners. The conversations between and among faculty, students, and other stakeholders provide an excellent way to share best practices.

I have been looking for a side dish just like this – a baked cheesy veggie casserole with a nice crispy crust! Do you think it would be ok to add some other veggies to the broccoli (cauliflower and carrots maybe) or do you recommend other ones that would work well? Thank you!!

Thieves are increasingly breaking into houses with the sole intention to steal cars, the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council has warned.
And while the number of car thefts in Victoria has almost halved over the past 10 years, a Fairfax Media analysis of car thefts data has found thieves are increasingly targeting newer models. While total thefts hit a 10-year low of 9624 in the 2012-13 financial year, the number of cars fewer than five years old being stolen hit an eight-year high.
A total of 1060 cars less than five years old were stolen last year, making up 11 per cent of total thefts. In 2003-04, they made up 6.6 per cent of all thefts.
NMVTRC executive director Ray Carroll said thieves were stealing car keys to get around advances in technology aimed at making vehicles more secure.
Since 2001, all new cars sold in Australia have an electronic immobiliser fitted as standard, which prevents a car engine from starting unless the driver has the correct key.
''In order to steal an immobilised car, you need access to the keys and transponder. So if a thief is going to go to the trouble of stealing the key and transponder, it is likely he will take a newer car,'' Mr Carroll said.
''There are now a considerable number of house break-ins in order for the thief to steal the keys in order to steal the car, and that's a particularly worrying trend.''
A recent NMVTRC study in Western Australia found that four out of 10 stolen cars were taken as a result of a house burglary.
RACV general manager insurance Paul Northey said stolen keys were the cause of the theft of more than 70 per cent of newer cars and urged people never to leave their car keys in open view of their homes or near the front door.
Thefts of Subarus (390), Hyundais (365), Volkswagens (92), BMWs (166) and Suzukis (82) hit a 10-year high in the 2012-13 financial year, with police data showing late-model Hyundais and Volkswagens were targeted more frequently than earlier models.
Holdens were the most targeted make, with 2295 reported stolen.
In the past financial year, Brimbank was the municipality with the highest rate of car thefts, with six thefts per 1000 people, up 3 per cent on the previous year.
Melbourne, Maribyrnong, Darebin and Hume were also hot spots.
The recovery rate of stolen cars in 2012-13 was 78 per cent, down slightly on previous years.

La Tortilleria
72 Stubbs Street
Kensington, VIC 3031
03 9376 5577
As promised, after my visit to Bay City Burrito, here's part two of 'The Tortilla Tutorial'. Bytegirl took me to this authentic Mexican taqueria the same week we'd dined at BCB.
Considering it's located at a godforsaken part of Kensington, the place is very busy… with a queue starting even before the doors opened at 6pm on a Friday. But the good news is you can make a booking.
But the bad news was we ended up at a table right next to the 'aromatic' baños (toilets), which I confess was a touch unappetising… latrine-infused tortillas, anyone? Bytegirl smirked dryly… saying how it's part of the whole authentic hole-in-the-wall experience.
However, since we were one of the first groups in, we quickly asked if we could be seated at the colorful bar counter in the front (normally reserved for walk-ins). They happily obliged. Yes… now we have a full view of all the taco-making action! I liked the front section a lot more, even if our bar counter space was quite narrow. The cooking's done in a colourful tented area… reminiscent of a mobile street stall.
I gave Bytegirl full reign with the ordering, but it turned out that with such a concise menu, we pretty much sampled every item between the two of us. The first thing she pointed out was how burritos don't exist on the menu here, which tells us that burritos aren't Mexican. It's more a North American creation, where the classic taco has been supersized into a giant 'monster taco' wrapped in foil.
GUACAMOLE $6 Served with totopos (homemade tortilla chips)
We started off with a simple bowl of guacamole and refried tortilla chips. My companion would've preferred more lime in the guac, but I quite liked it as it was… I ended up spooning in mouthfuls of guacamole, ignoring the chips altogether.
We were given three types of salsas, each with a different flavour characteristic. The top left was light, tangy and fresh… top right tasted deeper with a smoky flavour, and the bottom one is the chunky oniony type that most of us are familiar with.
Being Singaporeans, we love our chilli sauces… so Bytegirl and I ended up refilling our bowls of sauce consistently (there's a little stand in the middle of the room with large clay jars for you to self top-up).
And then *BAM*… all our quesadillas arrived, served ala ghetto-style on a beer tray. I loved it… it looked like the bambina in that tray was being attacked by quesadillas!
QUESADILLAS – all quesadillas are vegetarian, and can be vegan on request Sencilla (plain cheese) $3.50 | Frijoles (beans & white cheese) $4.50 Chorizo $4.50 | Hongos (mushroom) $4.50
We made quick work with saving that bambina from her outraged modesty… by systematically eating into each quesadilla. They were all vegetarian items (including the chorizo). The tortilla skins were rough and rustic, and I found the fillings rather bland. That's when all the salsas came into play… it really helped lift the flavour.
GRINGAS $6.50 Al Pastor free-range pork with cheese in between two big tortillas
The pork gringas (something like a larger sized quesadilla) was pretty awesome though. Ha ha.. we are such carnivores through and through!
TACOS $4.50 each Carne Asada (grilled beef) | Al Pastor (free range pork)
Of the two tacos available on the menu, Bytegirl liked the Al Pastor while I liked the grilled beef. The style here was well and truly in its original form… free from modern embellishments, and probably what a Mexican grandmother would cook for you in her kitchen at home.
FLAN $6 – The delicious dessert with a rather unappealing name. Similar to crème brûlée. Made with free-range eggs.
We ended by sharing the only dessert in the menu. The flan tasted like a rather dense tofu cheesecake (with caramelisation) that's served cold, we weren't that fond of it.
I am glad that Bytegirl walked me through what's probably Melbourne's most authentic Mexican taqueria. Being there was an experience in itself, and I think that's part of the joy with dining at La Tortilleria. I loved my introduction to Mexican food and am happy that I now have a better idea of the cuisine.
But the bottom line is: because I did not grow up eating tacos, I seem to prefer the more 'tweaked and modernised' versions of tacos that you'd find at places like Fonda Mexican or Mamasita. But I also realise that comparing La Tortilleria with those places would be unfair… it'd be like comparing I-Spicy and Thai Culinary against Chin Chin.

Sacred 2 - GDC Preview @ GameSpot
by Dhruin, 2007-03-10 10:28:12
GameSpot has a good preview of Sacred 2 from GDC. Here's a clip on a nice feature but head over to read about differences between the Xbox 360 and PC version that might disappoint some readers:
There's are a lot of promising features in the game. Randomly generated NPC behavior is one example, so if you play the game multiple times, you won't get the exact same reactions from the characters twice. Also, each class has its own exotic animal mount, ranging from a tiger to a flying dragon. There will be multiplayer support with cooperative play throughout the campaign, as well as player-versus-player gameplay. Then there's a dynamic weather system, along with time-of-day effects, and more.

Egyptian singer Tamer Hosny recently finished recording the song "Ti'adi Ayyam Ti'adi Sneen". It was created by Abdil Minem Tah, produced by Naser Mahrous and the rhythms were provided by Hussam Al-bayjermi. Abdil Minem Tah, Hosny's prodcuer, promised to the newspaper Alyoum Al-Sabe'a that the song would also have an accompanying video clip.
As fans wait for the excting video, they should also know that Hosny is currently recording the rest of the songs for the album, which is due to be released in the near future.
In this new album, Tamer returns to working with the producer Naser Mahrous, the owner of the company Fra Music and the man who discovered and show-cased Hosny to the crowds back in 2002. Tamer left him a couple of years ago and signed a contract with Mazika, owned by Muhsin Jaber. His first album with Naser was called Tamer wa Sherien.
Hosny has been busy during the past months with his marriage to the Moroccan singer Basma Boussel after a love tale that culminated with the two getting married.

Another week, another move into uncharted territory for San Diego State's unbeaten basketball team, which was ranked seventh in both national polls released Monday.
It's the first-ever Top 10 ranking for the Aztecs (12-0) in The Associated Press poll; SDSU was No. 11 last week, although it was ranked 10th in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll.
SDSU is ranked behind many of the blue bloods in college basketball -- Duke, Ohio State, Kansas, Connecticut, Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The top five teams are all unbeaten; Pitt has one loss.
Also Monday, Malcolm Thomas was named Mountain West Conference player of the week for the second time this season. Thomas had double-doubles in both SDSU victories last week -- 18 points and 15 rebounds against Cal Poly and 18 points and 10 rebounds against UCSB. Aztecs players now have won four of the six weekly awards this season; Kawhi Leonard won the first two in November.
The Aztecs will put their undefeated record on the line Tuesday and Wednesday at the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic against USF and IUPUI, respectively. The Aztecs defeated IUPUI earlier this season on a neutral court in Oxford, Ohio.

Acknowledgment of Sources
The linked documents in the lists that follow are located in many Internet collections. A person perusing those sites will likely find interesting and useful documents beyond those found in the lists and will doubtless appreciate the commitment of time and of intellectual and financial resources that went into the development of those collections.
Major Sources
Sons of DeWitt Colony Texas
Many of the documents in these lists that have to do with Texas before statehood come from an excellent, very extensive site titled "Sons of DeWitt Colony Texas," developed by Dr. Wallace L. McKeehan, Director of the Center for Cancer Biology & Nutrition in the Institute of Bioscience and Technology, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, Houston, Texas. The site also has extensive narrative material by Professor McKeehan, a descendant of DeWitt Colony settlers. Although the project focuses on people, places, and events associated directly with the DeWitt Colony, the narrative and especially the documents provide a comprehensive examination of the development of Anglo-American Texas between about 1821 and 1845. One can recognize documents from that site by this URL in the location bar: <www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/> For an introduction to this site, select this link. For a guide to its contents, select this link.
Southwestern Historical Quarterly Online
The Texas State Historical Association is in the process of placing all of the back issues of the Quarterly on the Internet. At present, the first fifty volumes (1897-1947) are available. Within them is a treasure trove of transcribed primary source documents covering many aspects of the Texas past. Most relate to nineteenth-century events and people, although there is material for the early Spanish colonial era as well. For a guide to each of the volumes, select this link. The entire site is searchable.
The Second Flying Company of Alamo de Parras
This site, developed by Randell Tarin, has an emphasis on various aspects of the history of San Antonio from the eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century, with special attention to the Alamo through time. There are also documents relating to other aspects of Texas history for the period covered. To access the site, select this link.Texas Tides
This is a project of a consortium mainly composed of several university and public libraries, museums, and public school districts in the eastern region of Texas. It contains a selection of primary source documents and images of artifacts in their various collections. Most of the material has to do with people and events in East Texas history. Stephen F. Austin State University's Ralph W. Steen Library is the lead institution in the consortium. You may access Texas Tides at this link. For a list of participating institutions, select this link.
Portal to Texas History
This project of the University of North Texas Libraries provides digital images of documents, books, maps, photographs, and artifacts in the collections of many Texas libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, and private collections. For a list of those institutions, etc., select this link. The site is especially rich in printed primary sources relating to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. To access the site, select this link.
Texas Treasures
This site, sponsored by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, contains special Internet exhibits of documents and images of artifacts mainly about the Texas past from the Revolutionary era to the recent past. The exhibited documents are taken from the Commission's vast collections of primary source materials. To access the site, select this link.
The Tejano Voices Collection
This is a project of the University of Texas at Arlington Center for Mexican American Studies. It consists of seventy-seven interviews conducted by Dr. Angel Gutierrez, associate professor of political science at UT Arlington, with Tejano leaders across the state. [More interviews are expected to be added later.] They reflect the history of the Tejano community as it pressed for an end to racial segregation and for access to political power during the latter part of the twentieth century. For additional information about the project, click on this link. For more information about UTA's Center for Mexican American Studies, click on this link.
The Making of America Project
Part of this project is located at a University of Michigan site and part at a site at Cornell University. Most of the Civil War documents in the lists come from this project's online volumes of The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies and Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion. In addition, there are valuable books and periodical articles having to do with nineteenth-century Texas.Google Book Search
This project involves the digitalization of a huge number of out-of-print books (and some others for which permission has been obtained from the copyright holders). Most of the books reside in research libraries in major universities. These materials include printed primary sources. Among those some deal wholly with Texas subjects; others contain some material on Texas. Also, some secondary source books have Texas history documents within them. The Google Book Search materials are fully searchable. For more information about the project, select this link. To access the "Advanced Search" function, select this link. You will probably want to check the "Full view" box for most searches. This will result in a list with just those books whose contents have been completely scanned.

Will LeBron James and Tim Duncan go down as the best at their position? Let's debate.
In another installment of the Heat Index's 3-on-3 series, our writers give their takes on the storylines before the Heat host the Spurs on Thursday and aim to improve to 11-3.
1. Over/Under: 1.5, the number of West teams more likely to reach Finals than Spurs.
Tom Haberstroh: Under. But it's almost impossible to separate the West's top five teams at this point. Oklahoma City might have the inside track, but San Antonio is right there behind it. As John Hollinger noted today, the Spurs still have another gear or two left in them.
Michael Wallace: Over. But just barely. I'm going with two teams that would stack up pretty well against the Spurs: Oklahoma City and Memphis. After all, those were the foes that knocked the Spurs out of the playoffs each of the past two seasons. Granted, the Thunder did trade Spurs nemesis James Harden, and Memphis won't necessarily sneak up on anyone this time around. But it's something about the matchups with those two teams that simply throws the Spurs off kilter.
Brian Windhorst: Under. Memphis has been so impressive and the Lakers, despite their terrible start, have talent that must be respected. With the Spurs it will probably depend on health. No team plays better together or has the same level of playoff experience in the West as they do. It's probably Oklahoma City and then the Spurs in the "most likely" category.
2. Fact or Fiction: LeBron and Duncan will one day be known as the best ever at their position.
Haberstroh: Fact. I'm always uneasy about positional rankings because positions are so fluid by nature, but I'll bite. Barring something catastrophic that happens to LeBron, I think he's well on his way to passing Larry Bird as the best small forward of all time. LeBron has the upper hand in PER through their ninth season and that doesn't even cover the defensive end of the floor. As for the ring count? If James continues to be surrounded with Hall of Famers like Bird was, I think James will easily pass the three-title plateau that Bird reached. Duncan? Yes, best power forward ever.
Wallace: Fact. Duncan is already there, and LeBron is well on his way. That said, it would likely require at least two more championships for LeBron to put the debate to rest for many. He's already got the MVPs and the career averages necessary. But I'm sure there are some Bird die-hards out there who would beg to differ if LeBron doesn't match Larry Legend's ring count.
Windhorst: Fact. Well, this is a conversation starter. How long could you get Bill Simmons to write on the merits of a Larry Bird-versus-LeBron debate on who is the better small forward? You'd also have some Julius Erving fans chiming in. From this corner, I say James is already the greatest small forward to play the game because of his ability to dominate at both ends. A case could be made the Duncan is the best of all time and arrived there awhile ago. But it would a longer debate there with the likes of Karl Malone in the discussion. Also, Duncan has played quite a lot of his career at center. But it is a fun topic.
3. Fact or Fiction: Ginobili's Eurostep is more deadly than Wade's.
Haberstroh: Fiction. I'll give Manu Ginobili the lifetime achievement award but if we're talking most dizzying Eurostep right now, I'll give it to Wade, whose legs are five years younger than Ginobili's. Man, it feels wrong to snub Ginobili here. I'm worried he might Eurostep me in the hallway if I see him tonight.
Wallace: Fact. When asked this very question, LeBron seemed to give the slight nod to Ginobili "because he's the Euro guy, he's European." LeBron's geographical blunder aside, the Argentina native has been stepping through and dodging NBA defenders with lethal precision for a decade with the Spurs. But if we're talking Euro-specific, I'm going with the late sharp-shooting Drazen Petrovic, who also had a deceptively quick drive to the basket.
Windhorst: Fact. On his good days, Wade is more explosive than Ginobili. But when guarding Manu you have to respect his world-class step-back jumper in addition to the drive. It can sometimes put defenders in position where the Eurostep is more effective. Wade is not as good a shooter as Ginobili but, of course, he's no easy cover either.

Taking the hole shot in the main event was Monster Energy Kawasaki's Destry Abbott; who had actually just flown in earlier today after competing at a race in Baja. With Christini KTM's Geoff Aaron, new Champ Taddy Blazusiak, and Ricky Dietrich in tow, it was shaping up to be a great battle for the win. Meanwhile, Dietrich's teammate Damon Huffman was back out of the top-five, and KTM mounted Mike Brown was nearly last!
Things all changed less than a half-lap in as Blazusiak took the lead with Dietrich right behind; looking like a battle of champions – 2008 Champ Dietrich versus 2009 Champ Blazusiak. But then everything changed as Dietrich ran into Blazusiak; sending Poland's finest into the dirt. Seeing an opening, Geoff Aaron took over the lead with Dietrich maintaining second – as Blazusiak struggled to get going.
Soon Aaron and Dietrich would have a terrific battle and the lead would swap a few times! Eventually Dietrich found his way past Aaron for good; opened up a lead, and as he earlier told me he wanted – took the win. Geoff Aaron would finish second, as Damon Huffman took his Monster Energy Kawasaki to third. What about Blazusiak – he eventually finished fifth-overall; just behind Kawasaki mounted Colton Haaker.
The shouting came into play after the race as Ricky Dietrich walked into the KTM semi to give his number 1 plate to Taddy Blazusiak. I didn't hear the two's conversation, but according to Dietrich later, Taddy was not very excited to see him. Ricky would also tell me that he had no intention of taking Taddy out; he just wanted the win. I should make it clear that I did not hear Taddy, or anyone in his camp shouting; that came from just a few Blazusiak fans who questioned Dietrich's move. Of course Taddy already won the Championship, but not taking the win cost him $50,000.00 in the Triple Crown Shootout.

NOME, Alaska, March 10 (UPI) -- Just eight minutes separated the first two dog teams in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported Monday.
After nearly 1,000 miles of racing, defending Iditarod champion Lance Mackey and four-time victor Jeff King remained in a tight race, the newspaper reported.
The two teams pulled into the Koyuk checkpoint Monday afternoon, just 130 miles from the finish line in Nome, Alaska.
Trailing the front-runners were a group of mushers vying for Top 10 finishes. The newspaper said less than two hours separated third place from 14th place.


text: Hi all. I hope this hasn't been answered anywhere else. I have checked and have also checked the manual and can't find anything.... My S3 is due a major service (38k miles) in 300 miles! For some reason I thought it was 39k miles so its caught me a bit un-prepared. Would it matter if I went over this by say... 300 miles? The reason I ask is that I'm working away in the week for another month so it would be a bit of a pain to get it done at the weekend. Also Audi have quoted me £800 which is ridiculous so the plan is that I'll get the parts from TPS and get my local specialist to do it. (I get a discount from TPS so it'll work out cheaper) Not done this before.... Can I just go into TPS and give them my reg and ask for everything I'll need for a major or will I need to know exactly what I need. Does anyone have a list of the exact things I need for this? Also should I uprate anything as I change it? like the air filter etc? Don't really want to go mad with the coinage though Thanks all!!

Public Fingerprinting in Washington County, Maryland
Your Subtitle text
Site Home Page
About Fingerprinting
Police in Wash. Co.
MSP Homepage
Washington County Map
People need to be fingerprinted for many different reasons, such as to obtain a criminal history report for jobs, business or professional licensing, handgun permits, or for certain volunteer positions and immigration.
In Maryland, the first step to obtain a criminal history report is to be fingerprinted at a police department or by a state licensed private fingerprinting service. The fingerprinting requirement ensures that accurate records are returned, and safeguards against mixups of records between people with the same or similar names.
Traditional Ink Printing:
Directives from both the FBI and the Maryland Central Repository for criminal records mandate that only fingerprints taken on a "live-scan" machine and submitted electronically will be accepted starting in April, 2012.
Maryland State Police barracks, including the barrack at Hagerstown, are not able to comply with the electronic submission requirement. Therefore,
public fingerprinting was suspended at all MSP barracks effective March 19, 2012
Live-scan Printing:
Live-scan printing is done on a special scanner connected to a computer. Your prints are submitted instantly to the Central Respository via the computer, and your criminal history is returned much faster than with traditional ink fingerprints.
Live-scan public fingerprinting is not done at any police agency in Washington County, but is still available in Hagerstown at Optimal Health Care. Click the
Live-scan Location Link
to find more information and for a link to the website of Optimal Health Care. Fingerprinting is available Monday through Friday and an appointment is required. While MSP does not endorse or recommend specific businesses, this information is given for your information and convenience. Check back here if you need fingerprinting in the future, as this website will be updated if new providers are added.

The best-selling Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (FCF) is written with one strongly held principle– that corporate finance should be developed and taught in terms of a few integrated, powerful ideas.
As such, there are three basic themes that are the central focus of the book:
1) An emphasis on intuition—underlying ideas are discussed in general terms and then by way of examples that illustrate in more concrete terms how a financial manager might proceed in a given situation.
2) A unified valuation approach—net present value (NPV) is treated as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. Every subject covered is firmly rooted in valuation, and care is taken to explain how particular decisions have valuation effects.
3) A managerial focus—the authors emphasize the role of the financial manager as decision maker, and they stress the need for managerial input and judgment.
The Ninth Edition continues the tradition of excellence that has earned Fundamentals of Corporate Finance its status as market leader. Every chapter has been updated to provide the most current examples that reflect corporate finance in today's world. The supplements package has been updated and improved, and with the new Excel Master online tool, student and instructor support has never been stronger.
As well as responding to issues raised by the Columbus quincentenary, Utter contributes to the field of Indian literature in outlining the terms of Indian existence within the legal and social systems of this country. A wide range of Indian matters is covered, backed with documentation and commentary from principal players, historical and current. The topics are arranged in sections such as "Tribes," "Culture and Religion," "Land," "Resources and Economics," and "Bureau of Indian Affairs"; Indians in Alaska and Hawaii have separate sections. Most topics are presented in a question-and-answer format. Answers range from long paragraphs to two pages of clarifying information and context for such hot issues as hunting and fishing rights, alcohol use, and Indian mascots. Even legal issues are readily understandable. An upfront list of all questions, nine appendixes, a lengthy bibliography, and an index make the information topical, accessible, and verifiable; a must for general libraries.

The Associated Press
GRANTS PASS, Ore. - Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson described a department full of andquot;long facesandquot; the day after voters decided against funding his beleaguered police agency.
Forty-two sheriff's employees were handed pink slips last week after Measure 17-19 was soundly defeated 62 percent to 37 percent. In addition, 28 juvenile justice workers and 11 district attorney's office employees were cut loose to adjust to the county's decimated budget.
Law enforcement officials are predicting a drop in criminal prosecutions from 5,200 last year to 500, with the bulk of attention given to serious felonies.
andquot;We've been scrambling with all kinds of meetings today and will be doing so for the next few days,andquot; Gilbertson said.
The sheriff's office cut all patrols on Sunday. Most of the remaining sheriff's personnel will man the jail, where beds will be reduced from 140 to 30.
andquot;We are trying to figure out a way to properly release these folks we have locked up in jail,andquot; Gilbertson said. andquot;It's going to take a lot of planning.andquot;
The sheriff said he will meet with a supervisory panel of local judges and community corrections officials to decide the safest manner in which to depopulate the jail.
Voters were unwilling to accept the $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation they would have to pay to keep the sheriff's office running as it had. The levy would have raised about $42.6 million over three years for sheriff's patrols, the district attorney's office and juvenile justice.
Gilbertson was aware of the county's funding issues during last year's election, but he was optimistic the money would come through somehow.
andquot;I didn't think it would be this bad,andquot; he said. andquot;Our budget will shrink to $3.7 million. It took $4.2 million to just run the jail last year.andquot;
All that's left for homeowners who live outside of Grants Pass is to police themselves. As a result, concealed handgun applications have risen to 20 per day since the budget cuts became a hot topic among voters.
Gilbertson has outlined a watch program, where neighbors would keep each other informed of suspicious activity in their area.
andquot;It all comes down to people helping each other,andquot; he said. andquot;We'll do what we can with what we can.andquot;
In addition, Josephine will join Jackson County in shutting down all of its library branches. In all, 95 county employees were laid off May 16.
Gilbertson echoed county commissioners when he speculated that the potential problems brought about by a weak law enforcement presence were too hypothetical to inspire voters to support the levy.
But that may very well change, Gilbertson said. andquot;Until you've been a victim of crime, supporting law enforcement may not seem that important,andquot; he said.said. andquot;It's more a collaboration between counties to put the state and federal government on notice. This minute, the county has law enforcement in place and can handle all but a severe emergency.andquot;
Metcalf said he had spoken to the superintendent of state police that morning.
andquot;He told me there is no plan presently to increase state police in our county,andquot; Metcalf said. andquot;There's a plan to hire more troopers in the future, but no plan to send any to Curry County.andquot;
Three state troopers are now assigned to Curry County.
andquot;It will be his intent to help the sheriff in public safety,andquot; Metcalf said. andquot;He will do all he can with the resources he has. The truth is, the resources are very limited.andquot;
Curry County will need some financial help, La Bonti said.
andquot;The state or federal government needs to come through,andquot; she said.
Metcalf said the layoffs in his department would take at least $1.5 million to reverse.
andquot;The problem with emergency money is, the state tends to look at it as a loan and they need to pay back,andquot; Brace said.
The layoffs need to be started soon because his deputies are in the Teamsters Union with a contract that calls for a complicated bumping system, Metcalf said. The contract has a 15-year clause that allows any sheriff's employee with 15 years seniority to bump in any section of the department, whether they are trained in that section or not.
andquot;I have 10 employees in the union with 15 years or more,andquot; Metcalf said. andquot;Not all would be laid off. But I have five in the criminal division. The five in the criminal division apt to be laid off have bumping rights.andquot;

Is the Korean War Back On?
Analysts are accustomed to bizarre words and actions from North Korea, but its behavior the last week has left the world to wonder what the Hermit Kingdom will do next.
On March 11, Pyongyang declared that it had nullified the 1953 truce that ended the Korean War. "The U.S. has reduced the armistice agreement to a dead paper," the country's state-run media said.
The announcement came as South Korea and the U.S. continued through a two-month session of joint military drills, including a new exercise that brought an additional 2,500 American troops to the Korean Peninsula.
The North's Most Dangerous Leader Yet
After the death of Kim Jong-il in December 2011, his son Kim Jong-un took up the reins of North Korea. Many analysts thought the transition would trigger a reversal in the country's rogue behavior. The young Kim Jong-un received a Western education, and was an outspoken fan of Michael Jordan and James Bond films. Optimistic Westerners said what little information was available about Jong-un suggested that he might abandon the internal oppression and external belligerency that had marked the reigns of his father and grandfather.
But the young Jong-un is desperate to prove himself worthy to his nation's hard-line military, and it is now clear that nuclear North Korea under his rule is more aggressive, more unpredictable and more dangerous than ever before.
Lunacy Unchecked
Last month, Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear weapons test, prompting the United Nations to impose new sanctions on it. The North responded to the sanctions by threatening preemptive nuclear attacks on South Korea and the U.S. "[O]ur intercontinental ballistic missiles … are on a standby," Vice Defense Minister Kang Pyo-yang said. "If we push the button, they will blast off and their barrage will turn Washington, the stronghold of American imperialists and the nest of evil … into a sea of fire."
But would the North actually attempt any attacks with its relatively primitive weaponry? And could any such attempt be successful?
On Sunday, Congressman Mike Rogers said the threats are not empty bluster: "They certainly have a ballistic missile that can reach U.S. shores. You have a 28-year-old leader who is trying to prove himself to the military, and the military is eager to have a saber-rattling for their own self-interest, and the combination of that is proving to be very, very deadly."
Recent history has also taught the North that, shy of sanctions, there is no reason not to provoke U.S. allies. Back in 2010, a North Korean submarine fired a torpedo into a South Korean ship, sinking the vessel and killing 46 sailors. Later that year, North Korean forces killed four South Koreans with an artillery barrage. Pyongyang was only slapped on the wrist for those incidents, so its leaders seem to think they can antagonize again without retaliation from the U.S.
Logic suggests they are right.
After Pyongyang said the truce had been nullified, UN spokesperson Martin Nesirky gave a response representative of many western views: "Let me just stress here that the Armistice Agreement is still valid and is still in force, and that the terms of the Armistice Agreement do not allow either side unilaterally to free themselves from it."
So, North Korea isn't allowed to break the truce unless the international community says it can break it? Pyongyang's track record shows that it has little regard for what the international community "allows." It also shows that the pariah nation actively seeks to antagonize the U.S. and South Korea.
If North Korea does start a war or commit other isolated acts of aggression, and if America does nothing, it may signal to Iran, Russia and other enemies of the West that they too can get away with aggression and provocations.
The China Factor
North Korea owes its existence to China. Without the support of Chinese troops, the North would surely have been defeated during the Korean War. The Chinese oil and food that crosses the border—often illegally—is pretty much all that's keeping Kim's regime afloat. As North Korea's white knight, China has immense influence over Pyongyang.
Beijing signed on to the last round of sanctions, but, in the past, Chinese companies have flagrantly helped the North evade sanctions, and there's no reason to think that will change. Despite Beijing's endorsement of the sanctions, China is actually using erratic North Korea as a proxy to intimidate its Asian neighbors and to antagonize the West. With China maintaining its role as Pyongyang's protector, it is unlikely the U.S. or any other nation will take decisive action against North Korea's illegal nuclear development and other provocations.
Asia's rising tensions point to dark times on the horizon, but the Bible makes plain that this is actually leading to the most spectacular event in the history of the universe: the return of Jesus Christ, and the beginning of an age of peace for Asia and for the whole of mankind. To understand more, read Russia and China in Prophecy.

Isn't the Fourth of July great? In addition to being a celebration of America's independence as a nation, there's no school, lots of families have barbecues or cookouts, and you can go see a fireworks display at night.
The safest way to enjoy fireworks is at a professional display. Some people light sparklers at home or even set off their own fireworks, but this is dangerous. Some of the people hurt each year aren't the ones setting off the fireworks, but people who are nearby
It's best to stay away from areas where nonprofessionals are setting off fireworks. Fireworks can cause serious eye injuries, including blindness, if the eye tissue gets damaged or torn. Other common injuries from fireworks include burns to the hands and face, which can leave scars. Someone could even lose one or more fingers if fireworks go off the wrong way. Fireworks can also start fires, which can hurt even more people.
If you know someone who plans to set off fireworks at home, here are some safety tips to share:
Sparklers may seem less dangerous than fireworks, but they get extremely hot — as hot as 1,800°F (982°C). Sparklers can light clothes on fire and can cause kids to get badly burned. That would take the fun out of a great holiday!/p>

I'm guessing because you have negative items on your credit report, which causes you to have a bad score. Without seeing your report, I can't really say. Have you looked at your full report from www.annualcreditreport.com? Check to see how many good accounts you have vs how many bad accounts you have. If you find errors, dispute them. If you need to build up some good credit, then get a SECURED credit card (check out www.bankrate.com or www.creditcards.org for rates etc) and/or visit your local credit union and try to get a "Credit Builder Loan". You'll need to put $$ up front, so be prepared with some cash on hand. Best of luck!

text: The group that would become The Stack met for the first time in June of 2002, with bassist Michael Beilstein, drummer Brandon Quinn, and guitarist/vocalist Noah Dietterich. The three were already friends, all freshmen at Corvallis High School, and had backgrounds in music. In the following spring, with the addition of lead guitarist and vocalist Alex Pfender, the band was complete. Over the summer of 2003, the group transformed itself from a cover band to a dedicated group with a growing repertoire of original music. Since then, Alex Pfender and Noah Dietterich have written almost two dozen songs, 11 of which are on The Stack's first album, Slipstream. The Stack has been performing for 15 months, at private parties, professional venues, and sponsored competitions. Professional venues include: o Corvallis' Platinum Club o DaVinci Days Festival Closing Entertainment, main stage o Benton County Fair Closing Entertainment o OSU Student Day, sponsored by the Corvallis Downtown Association o Jackson Street Youth Shelter benefit concerts o Middle and High School Dances The Stack has taken first place in every competition they've entered: o The Oregon State Fair Battle of the Bands o Benton County Teen Idol Competition o The DaVinci Days Battle of the Bands o CHS Battle of the Bands In reviews, The Stack has been described as belonging to several different genres of music, including rock, Indie-rock, and Folk-rock. This is not surprising, considering every song on 'Slipstream' has a different sound. Between the soft piano ballad 'Rocket in the Sky' and the hardcore rocker 'The Way You Want,' the light but driving swing of 'Swing Madness' and ambient, acoustic 'Daylight,' The Stack remains virtually un-pigeonhole-able. Stack influences include Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. The Stack's fan base continues to grow with every show, both among their peers and with the adult audience in the area.
