Meet Kogan Builders' Interior Designer: Tracy Toner
As a native to Colorado I have had the opportunity to work in the field of interior design since graduating from the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver, with a degree in architectural drafting and interior design more than 20 years ago. As a resident of Durango for the past ...

Award Winning Home
We had the good fortune to be introduced to Alix Kogan and his TEAM of professionals at Kogan Builders a few years ago. Long distance, we designed and built one of the most beautiful homes in La Plata county! His TEAM was proactive, professional and a pleasure to work with. Even well after a year since completion, they are extremely responsive to all our needs as we get settled into our award winning home.

We Trust Kogan
Our biggest challenge, being from out of town, was finding someone we could trust with our investment. Kogan Builders has a great reputation within the community as a custom builder with high standards for quality. After meeting Alix Kogan, there was no doubt in our minds he was the builder for us. Throughout the project, Alix and his crew never settled for second best, even when it wasn't evident to us. Building a home can be stressful, but Kogan Builders took the worry out of our project. We have a beautiful home and I'm always amazed at the detailed craftsmanship in something as simple as a window sill. We have been very happy with Kogan Builders and still keep in touch when in town.

The best decision we made was Kogan
There were thousands of decisions to make when we designed and built our home. Now, after living in our home for about a year, we realize that the best decision we made was selecting Kogan Builders, Inc as our contractor. Alix and the crew at Kogan Builders listened to us explain what we wanted our home to be and helped us make informed decisions throughout each phase of the project. Simply put, they cared about us and cared about their work.

Our confidence in Alix has also been reinforced many times!
From the beginning, everyone on the Kogan team showed a commitment to excellence and value. Our confidence in Alix has also been reinforced many times by the excellence of the employees, construction managers and subs he attracts to his projects. Their workmanship, pride in their craft, creativity and attention to detail have been remarkable. When all of the elements that Alix and his team helped us choose so carefully and patiently came together, the results were breathtaking.Clark and Melanie Palmer

I admire "Kogan's" standards
I've been a building contractor for more than fifty years, and have learned to appreciate the difficulty in producing the quality of work that I constantly see in Alix Kogan's projects. When a contractor is dealing with tight budgets and owners that "have" to get in their house by "my birthday", etc.. it is tempting to relax standards. Alix finds a way to accomplish the goal and maintain the standards of skill, responsibility, and integrity. I admire his standards. – R.C. Harbourne

The process could not have been any smoother!
Since we lived out of state, communication was going to be critical and we found from the first call to Kogan that our concerns about communication could be put to rest. We had the best project manager anyone could ask for. He answered all of our questions, kept us constantly updated with photos and status emails and was proactive in looking for ways that we could save money without affecting the integrity of the project. The Kogan Team feels like part of our extended family. Thank you Kogan Builders! Mike and Evelyn

I did not initially think I could afford a Kogan home...
However, after looking at their range of design services and our mutual understanding of my vision for a lake-front mountain home, I couldn't afford not to! As with every building project, there were some surprises and challenges. Nonetheless, the end result actually exceeded my expectations. My 2000 square foot home has a "big feel" to it and the house came in with a great appraisal because of the plan, design, and the quality of its features. – Jerry and Lizzie

Cares about ALL the details
When reviewing the sneak peak video or the homes in the Parade you will see that Kogan Builders really pays attention to all the details. Designing furniture and rooms that take in the views or create an atmosphere anyone would want to live in. I predict another great year for Kogan Builders.

High End Builder with Some Serious Quality
I am so impressed with Kogan Builders. The staff is professional, the workmanship is impeccable, and they really care about their customers. Also, Kogan Builders has a lot of variety of properties to choose from though they are pricey. But I'm sure the owner and pm's would work within a client's budget. In fact, I know they would and so if you want a quality home take the time to interview with Kogan Builders and find out what they can do for you.

Fast - Loud - Light/Dark Bands in Photo/Graphic output.Pros: Quality and speed of text printing is great. Cons: DPI: Brother claims this printer is capable of 2400x600 dpi but the print driver installed from the supplied CD only allows me to choose 300, 600 or 1200 dpi (not 2400). 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
HL2230 Laser PrinterPros: Awesome printer! Software installed with no problem, and the actual set up of the printer was a snap. No more wasted money on ink. Prints fast enough for my needs, print quality is great. Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: Brother makes outstanding affordable laser printers that seem to last forever. I know several people that own these and their luck with Brother convinced me to buy this one, and I am not disappointed. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works good but the basic toner is a joke.Pros: Good crisp fast prints! Relatively cheap for what it is. Not too noisy although it isn't quiet. Cons: The basic toner is kind of a joke as it doesn't have this reset system and stops working after 100 to 150 prints or so even when it has more ink in it. There is a way around this though... Other Thoughts: There is a way to reset the print count on the system and you should search the web for it. Once the count is reset you will be able to keep printing till it runs out. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
toner gazillaPros: cheap price Cons: Every 28 days I have change a new toner and every 3 months I have change new drum. If I'm not change on time like 3 days the printer just die, no warning or override. Just die. It is very bad for business. I changed 4 Brother printers and a fax machine at once. Back to HP (American is better). Other Thoughts: by making you buy REM toner and drum every month is no good business. 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Printer, Great BuyPros: Great little laser printer. I got tired of my inkjet printer constantly running out of ink. This brother printer was on sale at the time for around 60$ and it has saved me so much time and money. The cartridge it comes with has gotten me around 1000+ pages and is still going strong. Cons: Replace cartridge light comes on a little premature. Mine lit up a few hundred pages ago so I got a replacement cartridge... however the original cartridge shows no signs of dying yet. Other Thoughts: The actual brother brand replacement cartridges will run you around 40-50$. However, if you shop around for compatible off-brand cartridges, you can find them for around 20$. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Little PrinterPros: Great price, previous Brother printer was very durable -- expect this one will be as well. Non-Brother brand replacement toner cartridges readily available and very reasonably priced. Cons: Replacement drum is costly, probably better off getting a new printer when the drum wears out. My last Brother printer needed the drum replaced, but the cost was almost the same as this printer bought new. Other Thoughts: Pretty much a no brainer to get a new printer when the old one is four or five years old and expensive to fix. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't Buy for Windows 8Pros: Good printer but no Win 8 support Cons: Does not work in Windows 8 Other Thoughts: Don't buy this for Windows 8. The Brother driver is the only option, and it is a NT 4.0 kernel driver, which is prohibited in Win 8 for security reasons. Brother customer service says to enable kernel drivers, but I cannot find how to do that at MSFT (Brother doesn't know or won't say). They are blaming Microsoft but I think it is a lie for them to say they support Windows 8. Their install tool hangs with no explanation. A manual install fails and if you track the error codes you will find it is due to the Win 8 kernel mode driver block. For Brother to say they support Win 8 when they are knowingly contravening Win 8 security is a deceptive business practice. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Single feed tray is terriblePros: Compact, tray feed seems to print fine. Cons: Bought this small printer specifically to print checks in QuickBooks using it's single load slot. Almost every check printed prints skewed. Wound up going with the SAMSUNG ML-2165W instead which has a tray that feeds facing up. Other Thoughts: If you don't need to use the front load slot this is probably a fine printer. I still docked it three eggs because if you sell something with a particular feature then that feature should work as it's intended. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great reliable inexpensive printerPros: Brother makes great laser printers, and this is no exception. We installed it for a user that does a lot of printing at their desk and this was a great upgrade over their inkjet in both reliability and cost per page. Add the fact that you can store toner refills a lot longer than inkjet cartridges and using these is a no brainer for the price. Cons: Not really a con, but it obviously doesn't print color. Other Thoughts: If you need a local printer that can plow through a lot of pages this is a great choice. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: This is my second brother printer from Newegg, like the first great deal, great printer. Worked without any problems right out of the box no problems with the first one after 2 years and no problems with this one so far. Cons: Non so far but, It's bad enough that alot of things are made in Chine but this is the PITS that Brothers are being made in Vietnam!!! Did you find this review helpful? |

Try the signature autumn flavor of pumpkin in a fun new way with these bite-size tarts. They're easy to make, even easier to eat, and make a great treat for any fall party. No baking required!
Remove the shells from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth. Add the pudding mix and whisk until smooth and thick.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each of the shells (you can also pipe the filling with a pastry bag or a plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off), then top the tarts with whipped topping, a sprinkling of the pumpkin pie spice, and a mint leaf, if you like. Makes 45 tarts.

Rachel Welte is the Weekend News Anchor and a General Assignment Reporter.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers have arrested a man wanted in connection with a homicide from last month.
Officers with the department's Tactical Enforcement Unit arrested Roy Saldivar Wednesday afternoon on a warrant for first degree murder.
They said he was found near the intersection of Nevada Avenue and Boulder Street.
Palmer High School was on lockdown for a short time as a safety precaution.
Police said Saldivar is the suspect in a deadly shooting from Sept. 22.
Just before 9 p.m. that night, officers were called to the 2900 block of Tremont Street near Fillmore Avenue for a report of shots fired.
When they arrived, they found a man lying in the street with a gunshot wound.
CSPD said Saldivar was riding in a car driven by 36-year-old Deirdre Dziuban when he was located by police.
Dziuban was also arrested, and charged with accessory to first degree murder.
Her photo has not been released.

maybe someone can help..
I have a first edition USA N64 modded for RGB and used on a PAL TV that supports 60hz NTSC RGB.
The problem is
-horrible horizontal lines on the top 1/3 of the screen that "flicker"
-a X pattern through all the graphics.
Have a look at the attached image.
I modded this almost 15 years ago - It's modded with the same method as per mmmonkeys RGB "Method 2" on this page http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/ni...ndo_64_rgb.htm
For the RGB cable, I've tried both my custom PAL SNES RGB cable and PAL Gamecube cable.
So... do I just need a different N64 specific RGB cable? Is the console just too old? Is my mod too old skool and I should do a different RGB mod?
I used to have a custom N64 RGB cable and as far as I recall it looked ok on my CRT, but that was 10 years ago and I don't have the cable anymore.. That's why I'm thinking I need to get an N64 RGB cable compatible with mmmonkeyes Method 2 - but where to buy?
Update: Added more photos.
-SNES RGB PAL Cable with 75ohm resistors to ground on R, G, B and Composite Video
-GameCube RGB PAL Cable with 220uF Capacitors in series on R, G & B (and 75ohm resistor to ground and 220uF capacitor in series on Composite Video)
According to http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av:nintendomultiav those cables are perfect for SNES/Cube however for the N64 there is no info.. "N64 RGB Cable components will depend on the mod performed".
Hmm, are either of those SNES or Cube cables I have compatible with mmmonkeys Method 2 mod?

The Miami Dolphins ramped up their public campaign for a tax-funded stadium renovation this week, buying full-page ads against their top critic and trying to distance the plan from the unpopular Marlins deal.
The team bought an ad in Tuesday's Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald knocking auto magnate Norman Braman's criticism of the Sun Life Stadium deal, which would have Florida and Miami-Dade split the costs with owner Stephen Ross for a $400 million renovation. The Dolphins would pay at least $201 million, with taxpayers using state funds and a higher Miami-Dade hotel tax to pay $199 million.
In a fact sheet sent to media Tuesday morning, the Dolphins listed ways their deal differs from the 2009 Marlins deal. First: Ross, a billionaire real estate developer, would use private dollars to fund at least 51 percent of the Sun Life effort, compared to less than 25 percent from Marlins owner Jeff Loria. Second, Sun Life helps the economy more than the Marlins park does.
"Just because the Marlins did a bad deal doesn't mean we should oppose a good deal where at least a majority of the cost is paid from private sources and more than 4,000 local jobs are created during construction alone," the fact sheet states. And while the Dolphins' Miami Gardens stadium has hosted two Super Bowls since 2007 and is in the running for the 2016 game, "Marlins Stadium does not generate the ability to attract world-class sports events -- other than a World Series from time to time depending on the success of the team."
NFL teams play eight home games a year if they don't make the playoffs, while baseball teams have 81.
Miami and Miami-Dade built the Marlins a $640 million stadium at the site of the Dolphins' old home at the Orange Bowl in Little Havana. The Marlins contributed about $120 million and agreed to pay between $2.5 million and $4.9 million a year for 35 years to pay back $35 million of debt the county borrowed for the stadium. As a publicly owned stadium, the Marlins ballpark pays no property taxes. Most of the public money came from Miami-Dade hotel taxes, along with $50 million of debt tied to the county's general fund.
Sun Life is privately owned and pays $3 million a year in property taxes to Miami-Dade. It currently receives $2 million a year from Florida' s stadium program, a subsidy tied to converting the football venue to baseball in the 1990s when the Marlins played there. The Dolphins also paid for a second full-page ad with quotes from leading hoteliers in Miami-Dade endorsing the stadium plan. Among them: Donald Trump, whose company recently purchased the Doral golf resort. "Steve Ross' commitment to modernize Sun Life Stadium -- while covering most of the construction costs -- is the right thing for Miami-Dade,'' the ad quotes Trump as saying.
Also on Tuesday, Ross and team CEO Mike Dee sent a letter to Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and county commissioners requesting negotiations over the stadium deal. The letter said the deal Ross unveiled last week is a "baseline for debate" and asked for talks. The letter also urged the commission to adopt a resolution proposed by Commissioner Barbara Jordan endorsing the state bill that would allow taxes for Sun Life. The resolution is on the agenda for Wednesday's commission meeting.

Review: FaceSwap automatically detects and swaps two plus faces in iOS photos
FaceSwap is designed to automatically detect and swap faces in images stored on your device. The app works in many regards, but its facial recognition technology feels dated and often inaccurate, and there is no way to know which images it will work with and which ones it won't. As a result, there is quite a bit of trial and error, and because the process is automated, you can't change how the images are swapped.
When you start FaceSwap for the first time, you can choose an image from your photo library or take a new one. Like … Read more

Members of both the House and Senate will push to pass bills that favor their particular party's agenda ahead of the election.
WASHINGTON - When Congress returns this week, its members will be met not by the Code Pink antiwar protesters or the Tea Party supporters who often gathered near the Capitol last year. Instead, farmers will be out in force, rallying for a bill lawmakers failed to pass before they recessed five weeks ago.
While that unfinished bit of business threatens to cut off aid to farmers across the nation, lawmakers, fresh off their parties' conventions, appear to favor action on other bills that emphasize their political agendas over actual lawmaking.
When the Senate reconvenes on Monday, it will move to begin debate on a jobs bill for veterans that is championed by President Obama. The Democratic leadership also is considering yet another vote on Rep. Paul Ryan's budget, for no other apparent reason than to embarrass Republicans facing tough re-election battles.
In the House, Republicans will vote on a bill that seeks to phase out the Energy Department's loan guarantee program that financed Solyndra, the bankrupt maker of solar power equipment. They will also continue to pressure Senate Democrats to come up with a measure like one passed in the House that would replace the large-scale budget cuts for the Pentagon that are scheduled to take effect with other trims on Dec. 31. The automatic military cuts were a result of an agreement to raise the debt ceiling last summer, known as the sequester.
"Stopping the coming tax hike on small businesses and replacing the sequester topped our July agenda and remains atop our agenda for September," said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
Among its first priorities this week, the House will move on a short-term spending measure to keep the government open, ahead of an Oct. 1 deadline for enacting spending bills for the 2013 fiscal year.
While such temporary measures have convulsed the Capitol before, nearly leading to a government shutdown, leaders in both parties expect the process to be less rocky this month as Republicans try to keep Mitt Romney's presidential campaign unblemished by congressional disorder.
But much is left undone.
The fate of the current farm bill, which expires at the end of the month, has preoccupied many voters in agricultural states and has haunted lawmakers at constituent meetings, debates and local and state fairs. In South Dakota, the farm bill was the central topic at a recent debate between Rep. Kristi Noem and her Democratic challenger, Matt Varilek.
Over the summer, the Senate passed a bipartisan five-year farm bill that the House declined to take up. House leaders also refused to consider their own Agriculture Committee's sweeping farm measure, instead pushing through a short-term $383 million package of loans and grants for livestock producers and a limited number of farmers. Senate leaders declined to take action on that measure because they said it was too limited, a view shared by many farmers.
Boehner lacks enough votes to pass a bill because Democrats dislike the $16 billion in cuts to nutrition programs, including food stamps, in the House committee's bill. And many conservative Republicans would like to see more cuts overall in the measure.
According to local news reports in states like South Dakota and Iowa, members of Congress have told their constituents that they anticipate a one-year extension of the current bill. But House and Senate officials said last week that there was no clear path to passage and that negotiations over the summer were not fruitful.
On Wednesday, the National Farmers Union and the American Farm Bureau Federation will hold a rally near the Capitol to press for approval of a bill. A devastating drought over the summer has inflated commodities prices and ruined many crops, particularly corn in the Midwest.
"The leadership in the House has a dual dilemma," said Dale Moore, deputy executive director of the American Farm Bureau Federation. The House Democrats feel the $16 billion in cuts "is too much, and a number of conservative members feel the cut is not steep enough."
"I have heard a pretty steady drumbeat that members of Congress are hearing from farm families who are making it clear we need to get a farm bill done," he said.

Lamu Industries: The Bold and the Beautiful
Filed under: Decor
Nominated for a Luxist Award in the furniture category, is Lamu Industries, a Catskill, N.Y.-based firm known for its hand-crafted solid wood armories, beds, chairs and consoles, in addition to a wide variety of tables, including coffee, conference, library and dining tables.
Each of Lamu Industries' pieces are hand-carved by local craftsmen who live on the East African island of Lamu, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya. Every piece is carved from indigenous "mbambakofi", a hardwood that is a member of the mahogany family of woods. The cutting down of mbambakofi trees is regulated by the Kenyan Government and for every tree cut, two new ones must be planted on the island. "Our tables have a feel of masculine majesty and a seeming provenance of European Renaissance," says Lamu Industries owner, Bo van den Assum.
Unlike most other furniture pieces which are made with a lesser quality soft wood covered by a thin veneer of a fine wood, each piece in Lamu Industries' collection is made of solid mbambakofi. No veneers here. van den Assum explains that a disadvantage to a piece made with a veneer is that over time it may begin to warp, buckle or even bubble up due to humidity or wet conditions. A solid wood piece will continue to absorb the elements of its environment and the fibers of the wood are receptors of the air surrounding it, he says. In a dry environment, the wood will likely shrink, while in a humid environment, it will expand. Over time, cracks may appear in the wood, however the crack may give the piece an antique look, perhaps even more character, van den Assum adds. Lamu Industries tables are constructed to minimize damage caused by humidity fluctuations.
The legs of each table are typically massive, and can be up to eight inches in diameter. Like the rest of the table, they, too, are made of sold wood. Each leg is carved from tree trunks that have been turned on a lathe and carved by hand by one of Lamu Industries' talented carvers.
Each Lamu Industries table is dated, numbered and signed. Made to order pieces are also available, and the company will even have your family crest or initials carved into a special order without additional charge.
Retail prices range from $3,000 for a small coffee table to $11,000 for a ten foot magnificent solid dining table. Specific orders require about four months delivery inclusive of the ocean voyage from East Africa. Pieces can be delivered immediately from Lamu Industries' current stock.

Finding missing people has its key in teamwork (From Herald Series)

Finding missing people has its key in teamwork

IF a dementia patient or someone at risk of suicide goes missing, a small team of dedicated and highly-trained volunteers will search for them.
Oxfordshire Lowlands Search and Rescue (OXSAR) is a 42-strong team who give up their time to help police search for people at risk of harm.
They are called at a moment's notice to help scour the countryside, towns and waterways to find people and return them home.
The team comes from all walks of life, from teachers to retired investment bankers – but what links them is the desire to help their community.
OXSAR spokesman Steve Archibald said: "Most of our work involves people who have gone missing and police believe are at risk of harming themselves or coming to harm.
"That might be an old man with dementia who has gone missing and not come home or it might be someone who is despondent and has left a suicide note.
"Most of the time it is a happy end, but sometimes unfortunately it is not."
He said the team is called after police have exhausted their lines of inquiry.
A message is then sent to the team's four call-out coordinators, who send a text message to everyone in the team to find out who is available.
Once everyone has replied, the coordinator phones back the police and says, for example, they have 15 members who can be there in 45 minutes.
Teams of four – featuring a team leader, navigator, first aider and someone on communications – are then put together for the searches.
Mr Archibald, who runs an oven-cleaning company, said 20 to 40 people go missing in the Thames Valley every day.
He added: "The thing that goes through our minds when doing anything like this is that it is someone's mum or dad, brother or sister.
"It boils down to a family somewhere waiting for their loved one to get found. That is why we put ourselves out there, to help our community in any way we can."
The team is highly trained in navigation, search techniques, communications and basic life support and it can take up to a year before a trainee is ready to go out on live call-outs.
Mr Archibald said: "It sorts the wheat from the chaff. We could always do with more people, but it is quality rather than quantity we need.
"It can be demanding. We can get called out at 4.30am to the middle of a forest, or it can be in the blinding heat and we have got to wear our full kit.
"But I would highly recommend it, it is so rewarding to be part of the team and help people in the community."
Across the UK there are 31 lowlands search and rescue units, which include 1,288 members, who have been called to 1,017 incidents in the past year.
The units have contributed 154,424 man hours in the past year, saving £2.95m in equivalent police salary, a spokesman for OXSAR said.
STEFANIE TAEUMER, 46, is a self-employed gardener and landscaper from Shirburn, near Thame, who has been working with the search and rescue team since February last year.
She has completed 10 call-outs since.
Asked why she joined the team, she said: "That is a funny story. I read a book a friend of mine left at my house.
"It was a crime story and it was about a missing person in Henley who it turned out had been murdered.
"A search and rescue team was sent out in that book and I thought, 'That sounds interesting'. I did some inquiries on the internet and I found my team."
She added: "I love being a member of the team. It is very satisfying to look for despondent people and then find them alive and well.
"You sometimes get a thank you letter from the families as well and you see how important it is. That is the best part of it."
Asked what the hardest part of the job was, Miss Taeumer said: "I would say the hard part about is when you get the briefing and you learn that the person might be suicidal, and then you go out in the dark always expecting that you might find that person dead.
"That is the worst part, that you go out with that thought."
She added: "It used to be more dementia patients, but I was told recently that it has changed in the past two years, it is more despondent now.
"That makes me aware of how many people are really desperate and are suffering from depression at the moment."

Category: News |Las Vegas Justice Court Announces Clarifications Regarding Applicable Dates for New Traffic Procedures
The Las Vegas Justice Court has begun utilizing a "rolling" three-year review period relating to driver histories. During the last Traffic Bench-Bar Committee meeting, Chief Judge Karen Bennett-Haron explained that the rolling three-year review period began on September 28, 2013. Thus, if a defendant received a traffic citation prior to that date, the particular citation will not be counted in the rolling three-year review period by a referee, and the particular citation will not be subject to mandatory Traffic School before the referee. If the defendant received a traffic citation on or after that date, the particular citation will trigger the new requirements relating to Traffic School, and that citation will also be counted and will affect the disposition of future traffic tickets within the rolling three-year review period.
In an effort to ease the transition into the new Traffic Procedures, the Court has determined that three additional changes will be made:
(1) The Court previously provided notice to attorneys about changes relating to the walk-in attorney sessions held on Tuesday and Thursdays. On November 5, 2013, the new scheduling requirements for these sessions will become effective. However, the referees will not be applying the rolling three-year review period as discussed above until December 4, 2013.
(2) "Bulk" attorney sessions are conducted on Wednesdays for attorneys who have 100 or more traffic tickets to be processed. Several attorneys scheduled bulk sessions for future dates before they were notified about the effective date for the rolling three-year review period. Therefore, the Court has determined that bulk attorney sessions scheduled on or before December 4, 2013, will be subject to existing standards, and bulk attorney sessions scheduled after that date will be subject to the new Traffic Procedures.
(3) The Court previously indicated that certain tickets may not be addressed by referees
(A) If the defendant has 3 or more historical warrants on one traffic citation; or
(B) If the defendant has 3 or more active warrants across multiple citations.
The Court previously indicated that defendants who implicate these categories would have all their citations immediately diverted from the referees and would be required to appear before Judge Kelley in Courtroom LLB.
This change will not go into effect until December 4, 2013.
Any questions about these policy changes can be addressed to Staff Attorney Joe Tommasino via e-mail or phone at (702) 671-3424.

3) No "same-day" reservations will be allowed.
4) Instead, attorneys will have to reserve their desired slots no later than 3:00 PM in order to appear on the following day's calendar.
5) Morning and afternoon sessions will now be capped at a maximum of 250 tickets. However, attorneys will still be allowed to schedule up to 15 citations per session.
6) The dates and times for the Walk-In Attorney Sessions will remain the same:
- Thursday: 8:00-11:00 AM (morning session) & 1:00-4:00 PM (afternoon session)
- Tuesday: 8:00-11:00 AM (morning session) & 1:00-4:00 PM (afternoon session)
7) Attorneys who register via e-mail will get a confirmation e-mail to alert them to the fact that specific slots have been reserved for them.
8) Attorneys will no longer need to print registers of action for the referees when they appear for the walk-in sessions.
9) Scheduling procedures for bulk sessions are not affected by the new procedures for walk-in sessions.
Any questions about these policy changes can be addressed to Staff Attorney Joe Tommasino at (702) 671-3424 or via e-mail to email@example.com.

Attorneys admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada have been invited to apply for service on the mediation panel for the Court's Early Mediation Program for Section 1983 Inmate Cases in the unofficial Southern Division of the District Court. On behalf of the court, U.S. Magistrate Judge George Foley, Jr. wrote a letter (PDF) to members of the Clark County Bar Association to encourage their participation.
"We ask you to seriously consider volunteering for this program which has proven to be a valuable method for resolving pro se civil rights cases and which will also provide the attorneys with valuable experience in developing their mediation skills."
Judge Foley addressed the type of training lawyers on the panel may receive.
"Although useful, prior mediation experience is not required and the Court encourages both new and experienced lawyers to consider becoming mediators. The Court will offer brown bag lunch programs to train the panel members in inmate mediation and to explain Section 1983 inmate litigation."
Lawyers who would like to serve as mediators can contact Magistrate Judge George Foley's judicial assistant, Julia Wright, at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (202) 464-5575.

Awoke this morning and, from all the clues, suddenly realized what year it is in China. My throat was scratchy and my voice was a little "horse." A major food store in the UK has just fessed up to helping its hamburger with chunks of dobbin. Also, miniature horses are now being trained to help lead the blind. And, last but not least, the inaugural speech shows that Obama is still in WDC and up on his high horse. China may be celebrating, but my horse sense tells me it´s going to be a rough year.
#1: I salute you with my coffee mug.
Obama could have conducted lessons in how to knit a scarf from the pulpit and the enamored media would still swoon. Until we knock more publications down and out, they just will not get the message about how bad Obama really is.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Fidelity Investments in November 2013.
Interview Details – Two initial phone interviews: the second much more detailed than the first. Both are extremely doable if you can use specific examples and stress the importance of customer service and communication ability. Interviewers are extremely friendly and interested in past experiences. Don't be shy, and use concise answers that answer the question without dragging on and on.
Interview Question – Consider a time when a customer was unhappy. Explain how you handled the situation and the result of how you handled it. Answer Question

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Fidelity Investments.
Interview Details – The interview process is typical. Starts out with a phone interview and then moves to an in-person interview. Job offers are formally issued in written form. Once hired, the firm has a robust training curriculum to train inexperienced reps how to pass the licensing exams (which are hard but passable due to the effective training program the new-hires go through). Exam fees are employer-paid. You spend the first 2 months in training before interacting with customers. I felt the hiring process was swift and professional.
Interview Question – I do not recall being asked a particularly difficult question. I think that they basically want to meet you in-person and ensure you would be a good fit for the firm. They do not try and grill you to make you stumble. The interviewers want to know if you know how to work, if you would get along with fellow colleagues, and that you are capable of passing the licensing exams where they invest a lot of money in you. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Having little experience in finance, the hiring range was not negotiable.

Interviewed at Fidelity Investments
Interview Details –
I was called with information on possible opportunities. An interview was scheduled for the next month. I met with 2 managers at the company and the questions were pretty simple and mostly behavioral questions such as: name a time when...etc. .
The next week after the interview I was contacted and informed I had the job. The start date kept getting pushed back though so from when I was contacted by the recruiter to when I started was probably about 4 months.
Interview Question – Name a time when you received excellent service. I wasn't expecting to provide an irrelevant example. Answer Question
Pros: Great benefits such as tuition reimbursement, profit sharing, 401k match, etc. All for pretty easy work as long as you can pass the Series 7 and 63 – Full Review

Agreed, though The Hulk. hes lost his popularity in recent decades but The Hulk is up there among older folks. I can't argue hes as popular as Spider-Man or anything, but the Hulk is surprisingly popular among groups you'd not think about!
Maybe that will change after The Avengers though hah we will see!
Check out the O.A.W. Report at www.majinoaw.blogspot.com. You want to see why I say the things I do or understand what's in my head... this is the place to go.
The grandma test is because what did you watch as kid,Older folk know about these characters because that was popular when they were kids.I don't believe average guy is going out website but average kid is watching Avenger cartoon or spiderman cartoon,I believe the average woman is watching ET or Extra and seeing Chris hemsworth and Chris Evans,I believe average adult has seen the Avenger commercial couple times,has seen Ad in a book,has seen a ad on the bus stop.Simple put i believe more Kids and teens higher percentage of kids and teens know more Avengers than grandma.They are more Kids that know than grandma.
Grandma didn;t have the internet,MP3 players,Iphones and cable TV. 100 million dollar marketing in restaurants,stores and magazines.They are more people on the planet today with more access hence a character today can become instantly popular.Grandama didn't have facebook and youtube.Who is Travyon martin and George zimmerman,Rebecca Black,The Homeless Man with the Golden Voice ,etc. Video go viral and thousands of people know about them.
Kids today watch tons of TV,They are lot of kids today more than grandmas,quite few grandmas in the ground no longer around.I am far more confident they most kids in elementary know of the avengers in some form and this age that is alot more people than the older generation
The X-Men are still huge, and they have a very loyal and passionate fanbase. My problem with their growth during the 80s and 90s is that it seemed to come at the expense of the rest of the Marvel Universe. I'm an X-Men fan, but I am also a Marvel fan, and I want everyone to be successful. These past few years have been great for the Avengers, as far as growth and popularity are concerned. I honestly think we're at a tipping point, and I think this movie is going to push it in favor of the Avengers. This movie is going to be huge, and it's going to cement their position as the next great movie franchise.
I honestly don't see the X-Men achieving that level of cinematic success.
'The marquis. Well, you know, to be honest, he seems a little bit dodgy to me.'
'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."
Avengers rising. X-Men falling. Even with their recent relaunch the X-Men have been steadily declining. Both teams have moved away from what was once their core theme but the Avengers are resonating more with fans. The X-Men just seem full of gloom and doom all the time. I wish it wasn't like that. I want the X-Men to return to what they once were rather than the extremists they are now.
The grandma test is rather grim tho', don't you think? Because according to that test, there is only 3 fictional characters in all of comic-dom, heck, perhaps all of fantastical fiction:
Superman, Batman, ( notice how these are not marvel-characters) and POSSIBLY, but not always, Spider-man.
No Wonder Woman, no Green Lantern, no Captain America, no Iron Man.
3 characters. 3 franchises, no more, no less.
No, because your grandmother knows who Wonder Woman is, even if she knows nothing about it.
your grandmother knows who Captain America is, and Your grandmother knows Iron Man and Green Lantern thanks to big budget movies.
Admittedly it varies from grandmother to grandmother. But the goal of the grandma test is just to get away from this... get away from these people, get away from people who describe "Deadpool" or "Cable" as 'almost as popular as batman' and things like that. Its a loose guideline to put you in the right place of mind.
I think the individual Avenger heroes, or more specifically, the Big 3 and the Hulk, are more recognizable than any of the X-men except Wolverine, but as a group, the X-men are more known and popular than the Avengers, and probably will be for a while, even after the movie.
That's right! Al Gore invented the internet, let's all go kick his ass!
I got your inconvenient truth right here, motherf*&¨%!

I also think whats helped the Avengers is that They were all individual big budget films being brought together in a team movie, this is something we have not seen. While when the X-men came out comic movies were not big and there fore came out as a team movie....if they had started out as a wolverine movie, a storm movie, a cyclops and Jean Grey movie and then brought them together in an X-men movie that would of been just as big as the Avengers seems like it will be. What I will say is back then if an avengers movie came out first I think it would of floped bad, but since the x-men and spiderman came out and built up an aduiance that started to really like the comic genre it allowed for marvel to make the individual characters into there own movie and then bring them together in avengers. I really believe the X-Men opened the door for the Avengers to pass them in popularity because according to non comic readers there the "new" hot thing.

Ib Jensen is a veteran, a PhD, a husband, father and grandfather who resides south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Obama has tried to play Lincoln, Reagan, JFK and FDR-- but in the end he can only play himself, a shallow, manipulative and egotistical amateur who is in over his head, and trying to drag the country down with him. Obama's White Hut is falling down and while the flashbulbs are still glittering and the parties are going on in D.C. and around the world, Obama and the Democratic Congress may be headed for a recession of their own.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
It's been my responsibility, my duty and very much my honor to serve as Commander in Chief of this nation's Armed Forces these past eight years. That is the most sacred, most important ask of the Presidency. Since our nation's founding, the primary obligation of the national government has been the common defense of these United States. But as I have sought to perform this sacred task as best I could, I have done so with the knowledge that my role in this day-to-day-to-day effort, from sunrise to sunrise, every moment of every hour of every day of every year, is a glancing one compared to yours. ... But it's not just your fellow Americans who owe you a debt. No, I believe many more do, for I believe that military service in the Armed Forces of the United States is a profound form of service to all humankind. You stand engaged in an effort to keep America safe at home, to protect our allies and interests abroad, to keep the seas and the skies free of threat. Just as America stands as an example to the world of the inestimable benefits of freedom and democracy, so too an America with the capacity to project her power for the purpose of protecting and expanding freedom and democracy abroad benefits the suffering people of the world." --Ronald Reagan
Lest We Forget!
While the waste of taxpayer money by the government is NOT news (sadly), it does serve the purpose of shining a light on a fire. As taxpayers and voters we have an obligation to ourselves and our progeny to demand the overhaul of government spending practices. It has been suggested previously (not by me) that EVERY bill produced by the Congress be specifically targeted to a single item and be linked to a provision in the Constitution that is within the authority of the Congress. To that, I would add that every SPENDING bill also must meet that requirement and, further, that an independent, non-government organization be retained to oversee and audit how our money is spent. Finally, to end the gleeful wasting of our money by the fools in Congress, it is imperative that strict term limits be imposed not only on the elected members of Congress, but also on the bureaucrats who remain from one administration to the next and are as much a part of the problem as the elected vote buyers!
