For me too the lag on back button is the reason I am not able to go to my favourite ROM liquid Smooth. The PA PIE back button is really quick, almost instantaneous. But same is not true for LMT.
The back button lag is because it's a root function, normal access to the back button is not allowed in android. Nothing can be done about this, the slower your device is the slower the call to the back button will be.
thats because the pie in PA is built into the system, and this is an app you downloaded.
now i dont know how credible this person is, but this sounds logical. i am running a 4.2 rom on my Galaxy s3 and just barely notice any lag, not enough to complain about.
My credibility has nothing to do with it, back is a root function.
No, he means functuallity while on lock screen
Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! 4.2 JB!
What I meant was a function ( for pie or gestures) to lock the screen

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Dare to Dream Children's Foundation, Dallas, TX, USA
I had the great pleasure and privilege to serve at-risk youth with Dare to Dream in the late 90's. Their mission of reaching out and impacting young people heading in the wrong direction was pursued with great passion. Though many at-risk youth were not interested in the efforts of 'do-gooders' trying to help them, it was wonderful to see some respond to the love and care being shown them and begin to turn their lives around. The camaraderie among the volunteers was amazing.

Carlo Bozotti tapped to succeed Pistorio at ST
Post a comment
PARIS " STMicroelectronics said Monday (March 15) that Carlo Bozotti, ST's corporate vice president and general manager of its memory products group, is the likely successor to Pasquale Pistorio, the company's president and CEO for almost 17 years.
Bozotti's appoitment to the top spot must still be approved by company stockholders. The legendary Pistorio is scheduled to step down during the annual shareholders' meeting next year. He has held his current posts since the formation of ST in 1987. Pistorio will be 69 when he retires.
Pistorio chose Bozotti, 52, as his successor. The company's supervisory board has approved Pistorio's recommendation in hopes of continuing the management culture instilled by Pistorio, according to the company.
ST also said Alain Dutheil, 59, currently corporate vice president human resources and strategic planning, will become chief operating officer reporting to the president and CEO. Dutheil was selected by Bozotti.
Italian born Bozotti is a graduate in electronic engineering from the University of Pavia. He joined the Italian manufacturer SGS-ATES, an ST predecessor company, in 1977. Hequickly climbed the corporate ladder, gaining responsibility for its telecommunications business unit. He later headed corporate strategic marketing and key accounts.
Bozotti subsequently became corporate vice president for marketing and sales for the Americas. He later moved into a similar role for the European and headquarters regions, thereby developing international expertise and close relationships with key customers.
Born southern France, Dutheil is an engineering graduate from Ecole Suprieure d'Ingnieurs of Marseilles. He began his career in 1969 with Texas Instruments and joined Thomson Semiconducteurs, an ST predecessor company, in 1983 as manager of the Aix-en-Provence plant.
After serving as general manager for the discrete products division, he became corporate vice president of ST's back-end manufacturing activities before moving to his current post.

Hey all,
My girlfriend and I are traveling through Italy in early June and would love some seasoned eater and travelers advice.
A bit about us.
We travel very often, and would rather spend our money on a flight and an off the beaten path meal than a fine dining experience in our own town (SF and LA). We are active in the kitchen and love the slow food movement. We cure our own meat, roll our own pasta, brew beer, and I have built several brick ovens and computer controlled meat smokers. Needless to say, we not only love food, but love the process and the artisans who take pride in their craft.
Our upcoming trip is a quick one, but since we are both focused on the same thing, are hoping we can avoid tourist traps.
Unfortunately we don't speak Italian, but will have our iPhones ready with a dictionary.
Our current plan is to fly into Milan and make our way south. Our only requirement is to make it to Sicily for a few days and eventually back to Rome for our flight home.
So, with 9 days, what are the must do food lover experiences from Milan to Sicily.
We have read quite a few threads on each city (Florence, bologna, Rome, etc)....but were hoping for a higher level sense of how to plan our trip.
Is each city best seen on foot? We are happy to walk several miles a day. Are the artisans outside the city and we need a car? Is there amazing food to be had on the roadside in the country? If you could pick 3 best foodie cities, which would they be?
Our budget is flexible, but we get far more excited by a great rustic meal than a fine dining experience. Maybe even a few home meals? Also, recommended cooking classes are great too.
Sorry if this has so many questions, and our excitement is transparent. We probably should have made this a month long trip.

The Complexity of Disease Phenotypes
Animal models have been invaluable in understanding how gene mutations physically affect a complex organism. However, as vividly illustrated in a new research study examining mice with a metabolic disease, the same mutation in the same species can produce wildly variable results.
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare genetic condition brought on by a mutation in one protein, NPC1, which helps shuttle cholesterol out of a cell compartment called the lysosome. As a result, cholesterol accumulates in virtually every tissue in the body, causing widespread organ dysfunction and death.
John Dietschy and colleagues evaluated how factors like genetic background, additional mutations, and environmental influences affected the lifespan of a mouse model of NBC. Overall, the lifespan of different npc1-/- mice ranged from 50-130 days, and even simple differences such as the host colony (same strain, just different location of breeding), or slight alterations in diet affected the average lifespan.
These studies highlight just how complex a 'simple' genetic disease really is, and that such variability should be carefully considered when designing animal experiments or interpreting results. It is particularly important, Dietschy and colleagues note, to use these animal models to carefully differentiate the non-specific environmental and genetic effects on lifespan from treatments that have a direct effect on the genetic abnormality present in the disease and thus may promote survival.

Approximately 13 million illnesses and over 110,00 hospitalizations may have been averted by the flu vaccine over the last 6 years in the U.S, according to calculations published June 19 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Deliana Kostova and colleagues from the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The researchers calculated the healthcare burden of flu cases that would have occurred in the absence of vaccination based on factors such as illness and hospitalization rates during the flu season, vaccination coverage and vaccine effectiveness. Based on these data, Kostova and colleagues estimate that flu vaccines averted several million instances of illness and over 110,000 flu-related hospitalizations in the flu seasons of 2006 to 2011. The largest number of averted cases occurred during the most recent period studied, 2010-2011, when 5 million flu cases, 2.1 million medical visits and 40,400 hospitalizations were prevented by vaccination.
The U.S is the only country with universal influenza vaccine recommendations that suggest everyone aged 6 months and older should receive an annual dose of the vaccine. However, previous studies have not provided ways to reliably assess the number of flu cases or hospitalizations that are prevented by vaccination each year. Senior author on the study Joseph Bresee adds, ""These results confirm the value of influenza vaccination, but highlight the need for more people to get vaccinated and the imperative for vaccines with greater efficacy, especially in the elderly".

At news of Kennedy, Senate stops cold
The Senate stopped in its tracks Tuesday with the news of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's illness — not because a malignant brain tumor means he will be a missing vote or an absent committee chairman but because the Massachusetts Democrat is such a part of the place that his mortality reminds the Senate of its own.
"He captures all of what is exciting about the Senate," said Patrick Griffin, a former top Democratic leadership aide. "It's not just how good he can be, but he shows how good the institution can be. … The threat to his mortality is a threat to all that is vibrant and possible."
Story Continued Below
Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), a Kennedy rival years ago, wept openly on the Senate floor. Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, Kennedy's longtime sidekick, choked up even as he promised reporters, "He is a strong guy, has a great heart, and we are confident he will be back."
"He is the only senator who could bring tears to my eyes when I was presiding and he rose to speak on the floor of the Senate," former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska told Politico. "There is something in the tone of the voice and the undisguised passion."
That same passion once made Kennedy a polarizing force in national politics. But Kennedy is a man who discovered himself in the Senate, just as the Senate discovered more in him.
See Also
Elected in 1962, Kennedy will be forever identified with his slain brothers and the liberal civil rights and anti-poverty battles of that era. But in the decades since, his real strength has been his ability to renew himself through his mastery of issues and the changing personalities of the Senate.
His booming voice fills the chamber when he speaks from his desk, always in the back row on the Democratic side but a gathering point over the years for younger members. Thus, his early endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama had immense symbolic importance as the young Illinois Democrat sought to establish himself against his more established rival, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Few senators can read a vote better than Kennedy, and his personal skills have become a huge asset for him as Washington has shifted away from his liberal activism of the 1960s.
His energy is legendary. He once jumped out of a car at a traffic light to corral a House Democrat on immigration legislation. Looking for some help on a defense issue — and discovering that the father of a House Appropriations Committee aide was ill in a facility on Cape Cod, Mass. — Kennedy surprised the family by showing up for a visit.
Republicans like former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) came to Congress railing against the Kennedy name, but they treasured small gifts from the senator — or kindnesses in the course of legislation.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) won his seat in the Senate in 1980 at the expense of an old Kennedy friend, former Sen. John Culver. But after first finding Kennedy distant, Grassley collaborated with the Massachusetts Democrat on health care legislation, most notably the Family Opportunity Act to extend Medicaid coverage for special needs children with high health care costs.

In Book 3 of The Shannon Trilogy, young Patrick Shannon is the heir-apparent to the Shannon fortune, but murder and betrayal at a family gathering send him fleeing into the American frontier, with only the last words of a wise old woman to arm him against what would come. And when the outbreak of the Civil War comes he finds himself fighting on the opposite side of those he loves the most. In The Wars of the Shannons we see the conflict, both on the battlefield and the homefront, through the eyes of Patrick and the members of his extended Irish-American family as they struggle to survive the conflict that ripped the new nation apart, and yet, offered a dim beacon of hope.

Review for Old Default Image Style by ghostshadow
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I was so aggravated when Firefox updated and changed the way linked images are displayed. I hunted up and down trying to find a setting to let me change the styling of the image viewer. There wasn't any information anywhere.
I happened to find this add-on after hunting around for a good while. This add-on does exactly what it's intended to, it displays images in a white background that is justified to the right like most every other browser out there.
This answered everything I was looking for. I have absolutely no complaints about this plug-in at all. If you're confused why images are centered with a black background and you want to get rid of it, download and install this add-on, you won't be sorry!

text: I was born into a Philadelphia family of artists, musicians, actors and videographers, and from childhood, was always involved in anything creative. At age12, I was involved in the family ceramic business, followed by photography at age 15. In college, I became fascinated with the abstract after my first art history paper on Munch, but didn't pick up a paintbrush until years later, when hardship threatened to conquer my life. Art is my savior! My work mirrors the fluctuation of emotions during a very traumatic period in my life with intermittent periods of light and dark. My empathetic gift along with a very strong ancestral intuition, allows me to instinctively create my work without any preconceived subject. Instead of searching for a subject or object, I lay down the medium, find a glimmer of an element with which I resonate and chisel out and add to the piece until it reflects my innermost feelingsArt is my passion and a wonderful gift that allows me to view life from a much deeper perspective.

I am rooted so it is no problem when it is saved somewhere in the normally inaccessible area. I just wan't to replace the recoded audio with an audio file that is not recorded over the phones microphone.
Has anyone already found that place?
Thanks in advance

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to address the problems caused by spelling and naming variations. The BGN will usually recognize an existing name or, when necessary, chose a name for a geographic feature (such as a mountain, lake, river, stream, city, town, village, dam, bridge, etc).
The BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and it is the official Federal repository. The GNIS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
A unique and permanent numeric code has been assigned for each name in the GNIS database. These names and identifiers are definitive and it is intended that they are to be used by all departments of the Federal Government:
GNIS ID for Graehl: 1894565
GNIS ID for Alaska: 1785533
An important aspect of the GNIS code is that it assigns a GPS location (the latitude/longitude) to the geographic feature. This location is simply a point on the map and does not represent the size or shape of the feature. In the case of Graehl, it is a point within Graehl that might be a post office, the city hall or simply an intersection - the point should really be considered arbitrary and only indicating a general location.
For Graehl, the GNIS GPS location is given as:
Lat: 64° 50' 59" (or 64.8°)
Lon: -147° 41' 59" (or -147.7°) [Map]
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Graehl is located in Region #4 (the West Region).
In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Graehl is located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Graehl is located in Region X (Region 10).
GNIS ID #1894565 (Name of Record: Graehl)
Class: populated place
A place or area having clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent population (such as a city, settlement, town or village). The boundaries may or may not coincide with the perceived population.
A 'populated place' record may have a corresponding 'census' or 'civil' record. The information contained in the 'populated place' record applies only to the class and should not be confused with either the 'census' and 'civil' classes.

ORIENT, Wash. – Minutes after Capt. Gary Roman slipped a set of spurs over his boots, a rancher pulled up, hauling a trailer full of the latest weapons in the U.S. Border Patrol's lookout for drug smugglers, illegal aliens and terrorists: horses.
Since April, the Spokane sector of the Border Patrol has been using horse patrols along the 309-mile stretch of border it oversees between Montana's Rocky Mountains and the eastern slopes of Washington's Cascades — a thickly forested expanse that includes some of the roughest terrain in the country.
With help from horses, the agency is now able to keep watch on mountains and canyons once inaccessible to pickups, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles.
Click here for FOXNews.com's Immigration Content Center.
"You think horses and you think that's what we used 75 years ago," Roman said, heaving a leather saddle atop a gelding. "For one thing, they're quiet. They're also faster than an agent on foot, and they're going to let you know somebody is out there long before you would know it."
All seven Border Patrol stations in the Spokane sector now deploy regular horse patrols, making it the only sector along the northern border that uses horses at each of its stations, said Lonnie Moore, an agency spokesman.
Sector Chief Robert Harris has also recently equipped each of the stations with specially trained human-tracking dogs.
Although the Border Patrol's top priority is to catch terrorists, much of the Spokane sector's work involves stopping the smuggling of British Columbia-grown marijuana and the northbound trafficking of cocaine.
In fiscal year 2005, the U.S. Border Patrol made 7,342 apprehensions along the border with Canada, compared with 1.2 million apprehensions along the Mexican border, said Lonnie Moore, an agency spokesman.
However, many experts consider the largely open northern border to be a more likely point of passage for suspected terrorists.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Border Patrol has tripled the number of agents posted in the Spokane sector, Moore said. Although the agents are sometimes seen working with their drug dogs at highway border stations, most of their work involves policing the long stretches of the 49th parallel between stations.
The increase in agents has made it tougher on smugglers, who have had to find new methods to carry their drugs over the border, Roman said, leading the patrol of agents on horses up a steep, narrow path one recent day. "We hit them hard with vehicles, then with boats. Now they're using helicopters and planes to get over us."
The horse patrols in the area haven't yet resulted in any arrests, but agents are learning new trails and are able to keep a better watch on possible routes, agent Allen Foraker said. "We're turning in some good intel because of the areas we're now accessing."
Foraker spends most of his time on patrol staring at the ground, looking for footprints, broken brush, cigarette butts or tiny flecks of surveyor's tape.
Agents follow even the faintest of clues. If the trail is hot and it leads across the border, they use a shared radio frequency to call for help from their counterparts with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Border Patrol agents have also begun handing out refrigerator magnets with a telephone tip hotline to people living near the border. There's already been at least one drug seizure made from a magnet call, Roman said.
Agents also chat with hikers or hunters. "We talk to everybody," Foraker said. "Generally, within two minutes we know if they belong in this country."
Backcountry drug trafficking has slowed since the 9/11 buildup of agents, Foraker said. Smugglers have been forced deeper into the backcountry and onto lesser-used trails. One of the benefits of the horse patrols, Foraker said, is to help agents learn every square foot of their patrol area and keep up with the smugglers.
President Bush is promoting a plan to hire up to 6,000 new agents in coming years. Before any get a shot at riding horses through the wilds of the Northwest, they'll have to learn Spanish and begin their careers with a stint along the busy border with Mexico.

As someone who is always happy to introduce people to shooting, I've spent my fair share of time with beginners. I know that the best way to get people into guns is to simply hand them one; it's success rate is stellar.
One interesting sub-category of shooters are people who have tried it and don't like it. Either they were beat up by the recoil monster or they simply didn't shoot well, and have no interest in going back just for more embarrassment.
This isn't the beginner's fault. It's their first instructor's fault. Whether it's an asshole boyfriend that ropes a new shooter to the range for laughs or the well-intentioned experienced shooter who simply doesn't remember what it's like to be a beginner and lets his friend bite off more than he or she can chew, a bad first step into the world of guns can, in many cases, be a person's last.
This is particularly common with handgun shooting. You're a lot closer to the muzzle of a handgun than a rifle; they're harder to use than rifles or shotguns and can be very intimidating for beginners.
There are two things bad instructors let beginner handgunners do wrong that I see commonly. They let them lean away from the gun and they let them hold the gun loosely.
Holding a gun loosely can make it malfunction, as is the case with limp-wristing to the point where the gun doesn't eject or feed properly, but it can also just make you a bad shot. While not as important with revolvers as with self-loading handguns, a loose grip with a semi-automatic pistol can screw with a new shooter by throwing a lot of muzzle flip in their direction, which leads to shaking and just poor aim.
A friend of mine, who used to think he could not use handguns, literally, to save his life, told me his first instructor, a small giant serving in our armed forces, told him to "just let the gun rest in your hands."
It occurred to me that his instructor's loose grip is my friend's hang-on-for-dear-life grip.
My new thing, and maybe it will last me for a lifetime and maybe I'll learn a different way down the road, is to tell new handgunners to grip the gun as hard as you can. The back off, relax to the point where you're gripping it hard, but you could hold it like that all day long if you had to.
The rest is standard fare, look at the front sight, light on both sides, front sight on the target, exhale, bang.
Also, hang that butt out like a sign. What's that? Oh yeah, it's so you lean forward. But you got nice assets, share them with the world.
I'm not a professional instructor. I'm not going to teach people how to do tactical reloads and one-handed charging techniques. But it makes me sad to see new shooters empty one magazine, set the gun down, and leave. All because the shooter wasn't given enough going into it.
If you've ever found yourself disheartened, particularly with handguns, maybe it's time to give it another chance.
And if you're still limp-wristing it, get yourself one of those grippy hand strongerizers. The kind with a separate spring for each finger. Who says you need core strength? Just maintain your Rob Leatham figure, you'll be fine.

Dreams with Horses
It's a beautiful book and presentation and the author of "Dreams with Horses" will be my special guest tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 4:35 on the Puffman Show. She's Rachel M. Jessop and she lives across the mountains over in Hamilton, Montana. Rachel says "her deepest desire is to bless my daughter, the horses, all people young at heart who are looking to reach their dreams, and especially the orphans who deserve to have a brighter future". I'll be giving away a copy of Rachel's book tomorrow right after the interview, but when anyone who goes out and purchases "Dreams with Horses", 10% of the proceeds will go to the charity "Horses for Orphans". Currently operating in Brazil and India and enabling children who live in orphanages to experience joy and healing of their hearts through interacting with horses. As I said, the book itself is a beautiful presentation and I've enjoyed talking briefly with Rachel on the phone when I scheduled this interview. The woman is originally from Auckland, New Zealand, and when I first heard her voice, I figured if it was a little bit deeper, she could be the guy who does the Geico car insurance commercials! What brought her from Auckland, New Zealand to Hamilton/Missoula, Montana? I'll ask her tomorrow on the Puffman Show. In the meantime, check out "Dreams with Horses", it's a very nice captivating read.

Already had a 3in 1 printer/scanner and copier, but I required a scanner so that I could scan slides and negatives from 30 yrs back. Apart from 35mm film I also needed a scanner for medium format (120 roll fim)negs/slides. Considered various makes and decided on the Epson V500. I bought this model and due to my age (60+) I left it standing in the box. I eventually set it up. Connecting and installing is foolproof, as the steps and procedures come up on screen. It is very easy to use and produces very good results from scanned photographs, slides, and negative film. I am using the scanner on a daily basis. The V500 can scan 1-4 slides at once, or 1-2 strips of 35mm neg. film. As regards scanning photographs the scanner glass can be filled with 4 6x4" photos.
Scanning can be done automatically by pressing the 'auto' button. I have never used that. I have used the 'professional' mode on the machine, and that is very easy to use. Before committing myself I did a lot of 'research' on the internet re various makes and models of scanners, before deciding on the Epson V500. It is well worth the money.

" Brand: Hipp / Age: 4 months "
I will start off my saying that I think this jar has now been updated by Hipp and is now called Sweet Squash and Chicken. As I wrote in a previous review, my daughter is in the process of weaning, and although I generally make all of her food myself, I do like to have some jars/pouches in the cupboard for both handiness and for those times when I want my daughter to try something new ie a fruit or vegetable that may be out of season or not something that my husband or I eat. In the case of this jar, the reason I bought this particular one was that neither my husband nor I have ever cooked or eaten butternut squash, and to be honest I wouldn't even know where to start, however with many of the weaning books suggesting this as a good sweet vegetable to try, I wanted my daughter to have the chance to see if she would like this.
A little 125g jar of this Hipp Organic produce usually retails around the 60p mark. This is a stage 1 jar which is suitable for babies from 4 months, however I gave this to my daughter when she was five months old. I didn't want to wait too long either to try it, since as my daughter continues on the weaning process, I want her to gradually move away from the super smooth purees that the likes of this jar contain.
Within this jar, the ingredients include carrots, squash, chicken, apricots, apples and cooked rice. It also claims to be a source of omega 3. This Hipp product also states that they are preservative free, egg free, GM ingredient free, wheat free, nut free and gluten free.
I decided before giving this to my daughter, I would mix half a jar with some potato that I had pureed for her, since I thought that if she she didn't like the taste, at least I knew she would eat the potato. Once opened, you can keep the contents of this jar in the fridge for 24 hours, so technically you could get away with using it on consecutive days. I gave my daughter half a jar for lunch over two consecutive days.
I really wasn;t sure whether my daughter would like this puree, but after I had heated it, I tried a little myself, and I couldn't believe how sweet it tasted, and very pleasant. Once I knew it was sweet I was confident that my little girl would enjoy it, as she has already developed a bit of a sweet tooth, much preferring sweet fruit to savoury vegetables. I mixed some of this jar with some potato and my daughter ate it really well, without making any kind of face that she didn't like it as she can sometimes do initially.
I think if you are able to get two meals out of one little jar like this, particularly in the early days of weaning, then at just over 60p this is a good price. I wouldn't be cooking butternut squash for my daughter and this therefore allows her to try it out without me having to do so. Although I don't playn on using many jars with my daughter, I think there is a time and place for them, and I will certainly be buying the likes of this again, and will look out to see if it comes in a puree that is suitable for older babies and not just as smooth.
HiPP Organic first introduced their baby foods to the UK in 1995, and promise to use only organic ingredients and free-range meat in their foods
HiPP Organic Butternut Squash and Chicken comes in a glass jar containing 125g of product. Hipp Organic recommend this meal for stage 1 of weaning, that is for babies of 4 months+.
It smells very sweet, but neither of chicken nor butternut squash, quite a pleasant smell.
The meal is pureed and completely smooth and free of any pips
It tastes quite good really considering the minimal ingredients. Its quite sweet, which would be the butternut squash, with just a slight chicken-y hint.
I wouldn't expect or want my son to eat anything that tastes disgusting and for that reason I always try his food before I feed it to him. This is a good one, I wouldn't eat a jar but don't mind of the odd bit passes my lips while encouraging him to eat.
My son is now well past this stage of weaning but he used to really enjoy this meal. I think it is the sweetness of it rather than the chicken flavour as it is barely there.
When I used to chuck this in the trolley it was priced around 55p - 65p in supermarkets and can often be picked up on 10 for £4.50 / 10 for £5.00 offers at Asda / Morrisons / Tescos.
These jars are very handy as they do not require refrigerating (only once opened and can be kept in the fridge for 48 hours) and can be eaten either heated or at ambient room temperature.

It's easy to tell yourself to save money and to have a big-picture idea of where you want to be financially, but it's much harder to stay on course when a night on the town, a must-have gadget or the convenience of eating out are there to tempt you.
[1]While the fact remains that the best way to save more money is to make more money, doing the little things right when it comes to your money can make a big difference.
With that in mind, I like to imagine this audio clip as the InvestorPlace equivalent of the Any Given Sunday "inch by inch" speech,[2] except instead of a football game, it's your financial future. And instead of Al Pacino, it's Jason Kolinsky of Kolinsky Wealth Management[3].
Life, football, finance: They're all games of inches. "Add up all those inches," as Pacino's character Tony D'Amato said, "and that's going making the [expletive] difference."
Maybe Tony D'Amato wouldn't have "pissed away all his money" if he had followed a few of Kolinsky's steps, too.

The newly invested high sheriff of Bedfordshire is "honoured" to take up the post.
Colin Osborne was installed as the high sheriff in a ceremony at the John O'Gaunt Golf Club in Sutton.
Mr Osborne, 64, from Sandy, said: "I'm delighted to have been chosen as the high sheriff. It's a great honour for me, my family and for Sandy. I'm looking forward to it very much."
Prospective high sheriffs are nominated five years in advance by the incumbent high sheriff of the time. He or she is then interviewed by a panel, which includes the current high sheriff.
Post holders traditionally support local groups and charities by attending events. Mr Osborne will attend many of them accompanied by his wife, Diane.
He said: "Crimebeat is the local and national high sheriffs' charity, and we are wanting to support young people's organisations and schools.
"We would welcome invitations into schools and academies to meet with young people to explain what a high sheriff does."
Mr Osborne, of Leeds Smith Drive, has lived in Sandy all his life. He attended what was then Stratton Grammar School in Biggleswade before joining Bedfordshire County Council as a trainee accountant, gaining his CIPFA accountancy qualification in 1973.
He met his wife, Diane, when she worked in the council's treasurer's department and they married in 1976. The couple have two daughters.
After working for the council for 20 years Mr Osborne transferred to Bedfordshire Fire Service, retiring in 2000.
He has been a member of Sandy Town Council for 39 years and he has been the mayor on 12 occasions. He is the vice-chairman of St Swithun's Church's council and chair of Sandy Football Club.
He is also vice-chair of Sandy Village Hall and president of Sandy Air Training Corps. He has served on four school governing bodies and he has been a magistrate since 1984 – although he cannot do the latter during his year in office.
He was awarded an MBE in 2000.
Anyone wishing to contact the new high sheriff can call him on 01767 682032.
>> The origins of the office date back to saxon times when the shire reeve was responsible for maintaining law and order within the shire and for collecting taxes. Today there are 55 high sheriffs in england and wales. High sheriffs support the crown, the judiciary, crime prevention agencies, the emergency services and the voluntary sector.

Francoeur getting reacquainted with center
Francoeur getting reacquainted with center
PITTSBURGH -- Jeff Francoeur is getting action in center field for the first time since 2006, but the Royals' regular right fielder says he's enjoying the change for Interleague Play.
First baseman Eric Hosmer is in right field so that designated hitter Billy Butler, with no DH in the National League city, can stay in the lineup at first base.
"The one thing here [at PNC Park], is the left-center gap is the big one and I try to favor that. Hoz is in right and he's a good enough athlete to cover that," Francoeur said.
Hosmer, playing his first game in right in Friday night's 4-2 loss to the Pirates, was charged with an error when a base hit kicked away from him.
"He blocked it," Francoeur said. "It just went off to the side. It could've happened to me if I did that."

By returning to Washington to give the green light to another round of taxpayer-funded state aid, congressional Democrats are betting voters will reward, rather than punish, them for helping their cash-strapped states cover the costs of health care programs and teachers' salaries.
With the House abruptly interrupting its month long recess for Tuesday's debate and vote, Democrats are casting the $26.1 billion plan as a win-win proposition.
They say the bill does not add to the national debt and - in overcoming Republican opposition - they have saved the jobs of tens of thousands of teachers, firemen and police nationwide.
"Why wouldn't House Republicans want to keep 310,000 teachers, first-responders and private-sector workers on the job instead of on the unemployment lines?" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, said Monday.
Mrs. Pelosi made her comment a few days after the Department of Labor released a report showing that the country had shed 131,000 jobs last month.
But GOP leaders have been quick to point up the political risks of the special vote to approve more government spending, in the face of voter sentiment for the government to tighten its belt.
"The American people are screaming at the top of their lungs to Washington, 'Stop, stop the spending, stop the job-killing policies,' and yet Democrats in Washington refuse to listen to the American people," House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
On Tuesday, the Democrat-controlled House is expected to pass the measure, which in part relies on ending foreign tax credits for multinational companies and money from last year's stimulus bill to pay for $10 billion in teachers' salaries and $16.1 billion for the extension of the Federal Medicaid Assistance Program (FMAP). More than a dozen states are counting on the money to balance their budgets and to keep about 140,000 teachers nationwide on the payroll.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen last week shrugged off the suggestion that approving the measure might come back to haunt the party in the midterm elections this fall.
"It is not a gamble," the Maryland Democrat told The Washington Times. "It would be gambling our children's education to have them go back to school and find no teacher in the classroom and with larger class sizes."
Senate Democrats approved the plan last week on a 61-39 vote after Sens. Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins, Maine Republicans, helped to break a GOP-led filibuster and advance the bill to the Senate floor for a vote.
Faced with an unemployment rate hovering at 9.5 percent and the bad news from the Department of Labor, political observers say, Democrats are aiming to reframe the political debate and to put Republicans on the defensive.
Isaac Wood of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia pointed to a recent Pew Poll that, in his words, found "despite some of the idealistic rhetoric, voters overwhelmingly prefer congressmen and senators who bring home the bacon."
"This bill is yet another way for incumbents to show how they've delivered for their districts and their states," Mr. Woods said. "Democrats desperately need concrete legislative accomplishments on economic issues and this would serve as a notch in that belt. It would also help mute some of the criticism about only big corporations getting government bailouts.
"On the other side of the coin, if the economy remains dour, Republicans can point to this as even more billions of dollars down the drain with no positive impact felt by average Americans," he said.
The dueling messages have been on display in recent days - perhaps providing a sneak preview into the campaign messages the parties will employ this fall in an election that will decide whether Democrats retain control of both chambers of Congress.
Rep. Joe Sestak, Pennsylvania Democrat, has hammered his opponent in the coming U.S. Senate race, Republican Pat Toomey, a former three-term congressman, because he voiced opposition to the FMAP and teacher funding package.
"Congressman Toomey's out-of-touch philosophy was on display again yesterday when he publicly opposed deficit-neutral aid to states that would prevent massive layoffs and cuts to essential service," Mr. Sestak's campaign said in a statement.
Asked whether this line of attack would continue as the campaign season heats up, Sestak spokesman Jonathon Dworkin told The Times, "We will certainly point out that this issue is another example of Congressman Toomey's rigid mindset that favors benefits for the wealthiest, but opposes creating opportunities for the middle class."
Toomey spokeswoman Nachama Soloveichik fired back by calling the bill a "bailout for irresponsible states" that spent recklessly when times were good and "now that they've run out of money, they're running to the federal government to force taxpayers to bail them out."
Mr. Sestak "voted for the Wall Street bailout, the auto bailout, the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so it is not surprising that he has another opportunity to vote for a bailout and he says, 'Sign me up,' " she said.
Party leaders continued to trade political barbs Monday.
Mrs. Pelosi criticized Republicans who had opposed the state aid while pushing to preserve expiring tax cuts for Americans in the top income brackets. The cuts were approved under President George W. Bush.
"With jaw-dropping indifference to America's teachers and police officers, the GOP is calling for an extension of the deficit-busting Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest few and saddling Americans with nearly $700 billion in debt over a paid-for bill that creates 310,000 jobs for hard-working Americans," the California Democrat said in a press release.
Mr. Boehner's office characterized the bill as a payoff to union bosses and liberal special interests.
"This spending was a direct order from Washington unions to Democratic leaders, and people will remember that Democratic members listened to union bosses and their liberal leadership rather than their constituents, who want to stop the spending and end the bailouts," said Michael Steel, Mr. Boehner's spokesman.

i want to use an Infineon CoolMOS in a medium/high power switching application. The chip of choise is the IPD60R600E6. The spice model can be found here:
I copied the source code from the file to a new .spi file. Then i added a new Item to my schematic, a nmos4 from the analogLib. I changed the model name to IPD60R600E6 an added the spice file to the library list.
Then i changed the pin setup in the spice file to
.SUBCKT IPD60R600E6_L0 source gate bulk drain
because in the nmos4 lib it says that Source is pin 1, Gate is pin 2 etc. The bulk contact in the spice file is not connected because in the spice model it is connected to source.
Plotting the transfer characteristic i get far too high currents in the range of kA. Even with Vgs = 1V the transistor seems to conduct with the same current... (Vth>= 2.1V)
Any idea what i did wong? Is it the correct way to use a analogLib nmos4 and change the model name? I did the same with a IRF430 MOSFET and this worked without a problem.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for your response!
oldmouldy said:[...]I just used the LIB file "as is", created "default rectangular" parts and wired up a trivial test circuit[...]
What do you mean with "default rectangular"parts? Could you describe what you did to make it work?
What i did was not using the import wizard because it fails with unknown model parameters for the MOSFETs (after creating a portmap for all unknown devices). I just used a standard NMOS from the analogLib and changed the model name to the one in the spice file. This is what i also did with a IRF430 spice file and this worked out very well. Using the same pin mapping on the CoolMOS model it did not work. The plot of the transfer characteristics has nearly the right form but the current is in the order of 25 to 75 uA (DC Sweep over Vds from 0V to 500V, Vgs = 5V = const.).
Use the Model Editor, under PSpice Accessories in the product Program Group. Save the original model LIB file to a convenient location, File>Open in the Model Editor to open the LIB file, File>Save to write the PSpice formatting, File>Export to Capture Part Library, this will create an OLB file to use in Capture to place the parts in the schematic, these parts will have a "default rectangular" appearance for the subcircuit defined parts like the one that you are using. Since the model pins are named Source, Gate, Drain they should be readily identified for connecting.
Another issue may well be that the IRF430 is defined as a Model, .model statement for the LIB definition and the part that you are trying to use is defined as a Sub-circuit, .subckt statement for the LIB definition. This will need a change to the PSpice Template from M^@REFDES ... for the mosfet model to X^@REFDES ... for a subcircuit. (If you create the "default" Capture symbol, you will see the PSpice Template definition for that graphical symbol in the properties.)


text: President Bush's budget has been released, and, as I wrote in an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times [.pdf], the message to the nation's poor, its elderly, and its urban youth is clear: You're no longer our problem. Up until this year, the city's allocation of Community Development Block Grants, or CDBG, had been shrinking steadily: the national allocation had held steady, but the increase in poverty from city to city meant that Los Angeles's share dwindled. I was encouraged to see many of the people helped by CDBG show up up at a City Hall rally to oppose the cuts. Children from the Echo Park Silver Lake People's Childcare turned up, and a young man who had gone through the Aztec Firefighters gang intervention program—who had changed his life from being in a gang to fighting wildfires—spoke. Mayor Hahn is engaged on this issue and has rallied other California mayors to join the fight to keep this funding source of last resort for poor communities.

Treshon Broughton has cleared up some issues in his recruitment, added another offer and is looking forward to scheduling some official visits.
The Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta three-star cornerback added an offer from Fresno State, has not been offered by Nebraska and said in the next couple weeks he and his family could figure out some trips.
So far, Fresno State, Oregon State and New Mexico State have offered the 5-foot-11, 170-pound prospect who's also hearing from Washington and a few other schools.
Article Continues Below
"I took the SATs and I wanted to wait until after I did that to take visits," Broughton said. "I'll probably start scheduling some visits this week or next week.
"I don't know at the moment where I'm going. I'm going to go over it with my parents and then we'll go from there."
There were rampant rumors that Nebraska had offered the Vista Murrieta standout but Broughton would never confirm them because he had not yet talked with that coaching staff.
He made it clear, though, that he doesn't believe the Huskers have offered but he said communication remains between the coaching staffs.
"They're still showing interest," Broughton said.
As for visits, it still is too early to tell where Broughton is headed. He would like to take as many trips as possible to figure out the best fit but the three-star is also focused on a big season and wants to land even more offers.
"I'd like to visit all of them if I could," Broughton said. "There isn't a certain one standing out yet."

Disabled drivers say they will struggle to access city centre shops after the city council introduced a temporary ban on parking in the pedestrianised zone.
Lancaster City Council has introduced an experimental traffic regulation order (ETRO) from Monday, February 3 as part of the Square Routes improvement works to the city centre.
As well as restricting goods vehicles entering the zone, the 18-month temporary order means disabled parking spaces have been lost from the centre of town, with replacement spaces made available in St Nicholas Arcades.
Disabled drivers can also park for free in any council car park.
Charlie Brown, 82, from Galgate, said he will no longer be able to shop in Lancaster because he won't be able to park near enough to the shops.
"As far as I am concerned the council is kicking the old folk out of town," he said. "I am being classed as a second class citizen and I won't be going into town any more."
Harry Caton, 85, from Scotforth, said he needs to park in the centre of town as he can only walk a few metres.
"I have very bad mobility and need to park close to the shops. All the alternative proposals are no use to me at all."
Fellow resident Mike Yates said: "I am unable to walk very far and they have from basically made me a criminal if I enter the town I have lived in for 62 years. So much for the council consulting people."
If you wish to provide your support or object to the changes to the access restrictions and the ETRO, you can email email@example.com or write to: County Secretary & Solicitor, Lancashire County Council, PO Box 78, County Hall, Preston, PR1 8XJ, stating the reference numbers LSG4/5.49419/RH3 or LSG4/5.49420.

A possible explanation for Rafa Nadal's recent loss of form
We always treat a new Shakira video with mild interest (particularly after her bizarre caged pelvic thrusts for "She-Wolf"), but we were more surprised than usual by the news that the skimpily clad Colombian had recruited none other than Spanish former number-one tennis player Rafael Nadal to romp alongside her in the promo for "Gypsy", see clip below.
From the 30 second preview we've been sent, Nadal looks authentically confused by the whole thing — perhaps wondering where, despite the sheerness of her top, Shakira's nipples have got to. He's keeping his own assets demurely under wraps but seeing as we've been promised it'll be Shakira's "hottest video ever", we're hopeful there'll be a gun show and some bum-picking later on in the proceedings. "Gypsy" will be released on 12 April.

Oracle's plan to safeguard competition following the company's merger with Sun Microsystems has been slammed Florian Muller, who once worked on the MySQL database, owned by Sun.
Oracle has agreed to make a series of undertakings to customers, developers and users of MySQL, in a bid to get the EU to give the deal the go-ahead. The Commission described the plans as "an important new element to be taken into account" during its antitrust investigation of the merger.
The Commission has held up Oracle's $7.4bn acquisiton of Sun because it believed that the deal would harm competition in the database software market, currently dominated by Oracle.
The plans include "binding contractual undertakings to storage engine vendors regarding copyright nonassertion and the extension over a period of up to five years of the terms and conditions of existing commercial licenses," the Commission said, describing the new undertakings as "significant new facts".
Among those dismissive of the database giant's promises was Mueller, who once worked for MySQL and is close to Michael 'Monty' Widenius, a founder of the open source database company who objects to it being owned by Oracle.
Mueller described Oracle's proposals in an email as "purely cosmetic and totally ineffectual, not preventing the near-instantaneous cessation of innovation in and around MySQL because neither enterprise users nor storage engine vendors nor forkers - developers of products derived from the MySQL code base - would have a secure future and real incentive to invest".
The five-year extension of terms and conditions of existing MySQL licensees is insufficient, he added.
"Five years isn't long enough because people wouldn't have a basis to make long-term investment decisions," he said.
"The duration [of the extension of terms and conditions] is a big problem."

Meeting my bf baby mama, don't like the idea at all.
Um..he sounds like a loser. You're an adult. If you don't want to meet her then dont.
my steps are all adult age now but i met the girls when they were younger. Their mom was at fault for the split and my guy realized that he deserves better. DD has brothers she is closer with whom were all over 18 when she was born. I have always gotten along with the ex's of his simply because i do not engage in a power struggle with them nor drama. We actually will spend holidays with the "first"ex (mom of the boys) and dd loves visiting with everyone.
It sounds like all the over 18 yr olds in your situation need to grow up and concentrate on what is best for the children. Is your son related to the other children at all or would he be a step brother to them? Your bf needs to finalize all the official court stuff or this is a big red sign for you to leave once and for all.
My son is not related to them at all. There is no real reason for him to go to this weird meeting. He doesn't need to be around her crazy ass and I have no idea what will happen. She has no problem being a crazy ass and make her own kids cry, dragging them away, screaming and swearing. I refuse to ever bring my son around her.
My bf has not even tried to bring her to court. I'm half way out the door now, for good. I guess its another reason why I don't know about this whole thing. I've been pushing for this for sooo long, but it seems like I'm the only one.
Dealing with his ex at all just makes me uncomfortable. I will never like her, I will always hate her, not trust, a little part of me will always want to rip the fucking whores hair out.
I'm still holding out that it won't happen and it's all a bunch of BS to make me the one that says no and make it "My fault" b/c I can see both of them doing that.
Quoting Amber5151:
And you are still around why? If it's been four years and you haven't met his kids, you were just wasting time anyways. Time to leave

The finance arm of a national real estate group has reported a 350 per cent surge in settlements in 2015.
Australian Property Finance (APF) CEO Nathan Swain said 2015 was "a powerful year of growth" for the group in which it completed its second wave of heavy recruitment in readiness for the start of 2016.
APF's initial recruitment push was in July 2014, and the network has continued to grow solidly since then.
"At this time, we have more than 10 brokers who have been with us less than six months, which is an exciting indication of our growth in numbers and reach of service, as well as our growing reputation attracting top people to the APF ranks," Mr Swain said.
"I see us stepping up significantly through 2016 and beyond, with the assistance of a very active property market in south-east Queensland, in particular," he said.
"We have concentrated our recruitment in the south-east Queensland region and are well positioned to cope with the increased enquiries which both RE/MAX and APF are expecting."
This year, however, APF is keen to expand its presence beyond south-east Queensland, with Sydney as its next priority.
"This aligns us closely to the strong growth plans of RE/MAX Australia," Mr Swain said.
He added that 38 per cent of total APF business came through RE/MAX in 2015.
"This is an outstanding result for our business, particularly given our infancy," Mr Swain said. "This figure is as much as double that of our like competitors and positions us very nicely as we continue our growth in broker numbers".

Step-by-Step Application Process
Getting started with the Au Pair program takes five easy steps and we are there to help you - every step of the way.
1. Sign up for a free information meeting
Take the first step by signing up for a meeting today. Just fill in a few details on the pre-application form to get started. Cultural Care Au Pair will be in touch to discuss your childcare experience, answer your questions and confirm the details for a free information meeting in your area. The meeting will include a detailed presentation on the program as well as a chance for you to ask questions. Where possible, you will have the opportunity to hear from a former Cultural Care Au Pair. You might also be able to complete the required one-on-one interview with one of our representatives. If English is not your native language we will also assess your English level. Don't be shy! It might be better than you think. In some cases we offer evaluations at our Information Meetings. We can let you know how this evaluation happens in your area.
2. Complete your online application
After signing up for a meeting you will receive an email with a link to your online applications and all details about how to complete the application. This application will ask about your childcare experience as well as other work and school experience. You'll have the chance to talk about your hobbies, interests and talents. And of course, there will be the opportunity to write a letter to a future host family introducing yourself personally and share some pictures with them.
3. Being matched with a family
As soon as we have received your completed application, and officially accepted you onto the programme our staff in the USA will begin the search for your host family. While host families can view au pair profiles online, our team in the USA speaks with all host families personally and oversees the matching process personally. We find that this individual touch provides the most successful matches.
Once a good match is made, you and the host family will be connected through your personal Online Accounts. The host family will then review your application and decide if they think you will fit in with what they need from an au pair. If they feel that your profile fits with their family, they will call or email you for a phone interview. After the phone interview, you and the family each get some time to decide if this is the right match for you. Once you have a mutually agreeable match, planning begins for your travel to the USA!
4. Visa and travel arrangements
We will send you the visa and insurance information and take care of your flight arrangements. Cultural Care Au Pair provides free basic health insurance coverage, but we also provide additional information about our extended insurance coverage.
5. Au Pair Training School in New York:
You will begin your au pair adventure at the Cultural Care Au Pair Training School is located just outside of New York City. At our school you will spend several days learning from teachers, who are specialists in early childhood development. Before you leave for your host family, you will have the chance to learn more about child safety, American culture, age appropriate activities and personal safety in the USA.

Up for bid is this large and beautiful ironstone transferware 13" platter in the Florilla pattern by Edward Challinor of Fenton, Staffordshire, England. This dates this platter to the 1840s-60s.

The pattern is an Asian theme with pagoda, birds, fronds and flowers. The platter measures 13 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches and is in excellent condition. Only a couple of spots of light crazing is evident, otherwise this platter is in near mint condition. The colors are vivid and clear, and the glaze retains a high gloss finish. Marked "Florilla, E C" on the back. Stickers on back also provide provenance for this platter. The stickesrs read "From Ken's mother on his 50th birthday, 4/7/81. Belonged to Ken's Great Grandmother Catherine Wagner, (1861 - 1943)". This is a Hard to Find transferware pattern and even harder to find in this condition. Great addition to any collection.

.- About 3,000 catechumens will be received into the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Hong Kong. Two of their first Rites of Election were held this coming Sunday.
During his homily at one service in St. Francis Parish, Fides reports, Hong Kong Bishop John Tong spoke on the theme of living water, saying that constant prayer is the best way to receive the "living water" of Jesus.
He encouraged the catechumens to always reflect on the Word of God and to distance themselves from "all things that are incompatible with the faith."
Only in this manner, he said, can Christians "get closer and closer to Christ and Our Heavenly Father, and bear witness to Jesus."
During the service the bishop handed over the Scriptures to the catechumens in order that the Word of God can become their life's companion and keep the flame of faith alive in their hearts.
The next Rites of Election will be held March 14 in St. Andrew and St. Benedict Parishes, according to Fides. Two more services will be held March 21 in St. Andrew and Christ the King parishes.
Last year, over 2,700 catechumens took part in Lenten Rites of Election in the diocese.
According to the diocese's web site, there were about 250,000 Catholics in Hong Kong in 2007. Hong Kong's population numbers almost seven million people, according to the World Bank's 2008 figures.

Message: %1 (%2) %3Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error %4.
The ESENT storage engine could not automatically recover data when the
system stopped responding or the power failed. As a result, database data is
now unavailable.
Typically, this error occurs because an anti-virus program is actively
scanning ESENT files.
User Action
Do one or all of the following:
Verify that anti-virus software is not actively scanning ESENT files.
Restart the database program to see whether the error occurs again. If it
does, and a database backup is available, restore the database data from the
backup. Otherwise run a program-specific utility, such as Esentutl.exe or
Ntdsutil.exe, to repair the data.
