Mind Your Business: How to Never Get That Job
I recently experienced e-crazy. It's a great example of how some people are their own worst enemy in their job search. And I'm not alone. I found examples of e-anger from other studio owners, even on Pixar's job website.
Many artists wonder why they find it so hard to find a job via the internet or email. I've said before, people hire who they know and trust. This brief story helps illustrate the value in working with people you know and trust.
Like many studio owners, I get samples emailed to me all the time. Some are incredible, most are average and some are incredibly bad.
I just received one in the incredibly bad list, but luckily the guy also had an unusually over-blown and unearned ego.
Another quick note, when studios receive emails, like the one below, filled with misspellings and lacking all knowledge of punctuation, we expect the demo to be just as bad.
His opening note (copied exactly as it was received):
Mark Simon,
can you give me somework, pretty please, test me!
i can edit videosI can animate using blender 3d.
i almost have blender3d masterd,
I can UV map like a pro, i just need to master rigging.
im learning the new blender 2.5 beta right now.
come help your california staving artist.
enjoy the shows,. what you will see, i taught myself!
Willie Nelson And Toby Keith
(link to his demo on youtube)
Let me explain what I then saw on this 'staving artists' demo reel. Obvious use of existing models in a 3D program. No animation, just jerky movements with no obvious story. Weird twitching of various elements. Parts of bodies moving is opposing directions. No ease in or out, just A to B, start and stop. Non-existent lip sync. Over-blown lighting. Cutting between shots with no timing, no reason for any shot, etc. It's obvious this guy has no training. Basically, his demo was a total piece of shit. My 11-year-old boys edit better.
I shared his demo with Curtis Sponsler, who owns AniMill, for an independent review: "I've never received a piece-of-shit like that before (I just ate my lunch, and now I've got to eat it all over again!)"
I share this with you to give you the background to my response. When someone is so utterly clueless in their letter, espousing how great they are, and they have no talent what-so-ever, someone needs to be honest with them. However, I did it nicely and I always try to offer advice. He admitted he's self-taught, so he needs to get proper training.
I, like most studio owners, am very busy. I didn't have to respond at all, but felt it's better to be honest and try to give him guidance.
My response:
Thanks for your note.
I took a quick look at your sample. You need to learn how to edit and how to animate. While you say you can edit, your sample shows that you do not understand the principles of editing. Your animation also is just elements moving. There seems to be no reason for the movements or any character imbued in it.
You need to start with some classes and learn the basics before you will land a job in animation.
This is not meant to be harsh. I want you to understand that you do not have the fundamentals yet to be an editor or animator. You don't know what you don't know.
I wish you luck.
Let's take a look at how quickly this conversation goes to hell. (Warning: this is not for children to read.) Note, I never responded to his outrageous emails.
His first response:
Wait till i animate your nasty dirty ass,
who the fuck do u think your insulting
u dont got shit coming
tell your homosexual friends to leave the holiness of maariage alone
or i will make war!
YOu insulted the rong man fruit cake!
Good point. I hadn't touhght about it quite that way. :)
This article might as well have come from a youtube response by a 13 year old trying to act grown up. There was really no point to it other than to make fun of people who are not as good as something as you are. The right thing to do would have been to just pretend you never saw the demo in the first place. By responding to the person (who is obviously not an artist as you keep calling him) you are only provoking him.
If this is the best article you can write, you should probably give up and let them hire the guy who's going to "animate your ass off" because at least the stuff he wrote was entertaining, unlike anything you wrote in this article. As for people with big egos, yours shows through just fine in your mud slinging article. Go pat yourself on the back wasting 10 minutes of my time.
Funny stuff. First, the fact that people actually send mails like this and think they'll be hired. Second, that company heads actually take the time to mail other peoples job-applications and letters to each-other for laughs, then go on to post an article about it for further ridicule. "I, like most studio owners, am very busy" Spot on.
More responses from LinkedIn:
Very good points Tom and I totally agree. I think you realise these kinds of things much more once you have been in the seat of the employer.
When you are a job-seeker who just wants to be in the industry so so much you start wishing people to take pity or remember how much they wanted to be in it. However, when you are in that position you have your own priorities, goals and deadlines to hit and all you want is for someone who can help you out, not the other way round. So the person who demonstrates that they can be of great service to you is the one you take.
Similarly, when I started assembling a crew for a short film I made I started holding certain qualities extremely highly, such as integrity and reliability. The last thing you want to be worrying about is whether person X is actually going to turn up or not.
I find that the best people are not necessarily the most talented (although you of course want them as skilled as possible) but the ones who are the most solid. I would take a slightly less skilled cast/crew member who is reliable over a "better" one who is likely not to turn up (which would be plaguing my mind every moment leading up to the shoot!).
Another comment I was sent through LinkedIn:
Funny article. Aside from the extreme attitudes cited in the piece, this also pointed out a problem I see a lot (minus all the drama, threats and name-calling cited.) Basically, the job-seeker focusing on what they need over what the client needs. Never a good idea to talk about how much you need a job, or "Give me a chance," or "I want..." That is not their concern. Their concern is finding someone who can solve a problem for them. One's resume and cover letter need to emphasize "This is how I can help you." Of course, lists skills, education, experience, but particularly emphasize how you have helped others in previous jobs, and how you will help them in their production.
As mentioned in the article, being someone they can get along with is nearly as important as having the right skills. Part of why networking is focused upon so much. If your that fun guy/gal from the party who had some good stories of their job experience are more likely to be remembered when a gig comes along than those who focus on "I really need a job; why won't someone give me a break?"
Here's another response I got from LinkedIn:
Hi Mark,
I get these types all the time. I guess I am a little more sympathetic in that, when people write those type of nasty e-mails or they are rife with grammar and spelling errors, I know that they probably have some type of mental problem or I feel that they have not been set up with the proper social skills.
I hire animators and artists all the time. I have found that in the animation, graphic arts there seems to be a lot of issues with quite a number of artists not having a full grasp on how to act in social situations, a superiority complex, a lack of understanding the rules of the workplace or anger issues.
I don't see this as much with the art department itself, the camera department, production dept or wardrobe or makeup. I do see it a bit with grips, but the gaffer usually shields them from me, but if I catch wind of it, they are gone. I have know a few editors back in the day when editors actually existed just as editors with this issue, but once a producer/director walked in the room and they started this crap, it was not really tolerated.
I wonder since you experience this as well, if it is the nature of these art types. Meaning the part of them that attracts them to animation and graphic arts is intense and the common sense part of grasping what is right or wrong is not as developed.
And since this type of work in our industry is such a "one person" or small group thing compared to other departments where everything you do is "show" for a large group of people, it is just does not lend itself of them to learn social skills.
I have blown through so many motion graphic animators over the years, that now I am down to one great guy who is completely normal. Just like your friend said in your article, sometimes he is not 100% there on pushing the envelope on his animation work, but he accepts all feedback, he improves and listens, he loves receiving direction, he shows up on time, he can work alone and in a group, he meets deadlines and he is just an all around nice guy. It took me years to find this guy and now he is my go to guy.
I literally had one artist tell me that he did not show up for work one day, after he had been late 20 times, because he was up night drawing a Galaxy and he got lost inside a Nebula. Swear, that is what he said!!
I think it is so important that we out here on the net talk about this, so that the schools who are churning animators and motion graphic artists, hundreds byt the minute, can think about adding in social interaction and job interview classes to their curriculum to help these young people get jobs and not piss us off.
Whilst our company's never had e-mails quite that self-centred and egotistical, we have had some clangers. I also tire of telling students that if you cannot spell or write a cogent application letter, then you're going to have to have a whopper of a demo reel to outweigh that, because I won't hire ANY employee who cannot adequately communicate with others or who doesn't have a modicum of dignity. I will always hire the polite and enthusiatic person with the lesser animation skills over the arrogant fool who cannot be told anything, because I know who I'd want to deal with on a daily basis.
I know it must have been tedious at the time for all concerned but I have to say I love reading about this kind of stuff, so it's much appreciated. There is such a splendid absence of self awareness people can have, or awareness of what's beneficial to them. While it's nice when people say something I've worked on is impressive, 90% of what's driven me to improve in certain areas are potential employers being candid and saying 'work on this more', 'I don't understand what's being conveyed here, try again' and so on. I think the most dislocated is the 'effective communicator' tirade, with the others it's easier to write them off as either nuts or just hopelessly deluded, but it's quite alarming to read that guy's response with his comparative level of articulacy. It paints a picture of someone who wants to break into an industry he can't have researched to any degree.
Anyway cheers again for the post.
That was not good, anger management class. I think will put him on the right path. I do like the way you handle the situation. No matter who you are positive feed back is helpful. I applaud you for sharing this story. Well done!
Stories like these sound funny usually in some kind of context like a t.v show but when it happens in real life, its a drag.

CROMWELL, Conn. -- Joe Ogilvie withdrew from the Travelers Championship Friday morning with a back injury and could miss the rest of the season.
Following his opening-round 74 Thursday, Ogilvie went to the hospital for an MRI where it was discovered that he had a herniated disk in his back.
"May have played my last round on the PGA Tour for 2012," Ogilvie said on Twitter. "Stupid on my part for playing hurt since Houston, but thought it was just age."
Should Ogilvie miss the remainder of the year, he would be eligible for a major medical exemption for next season.
Prior to this week, Ogilvie, who also battled through a sore wrist last year, had missed three of his last four cuts.
Joe Ogilvie aces the 161-yard 16th hole with a 7-iron. It was the 10th ace of his career.
Overnight leader Vaughn Taylor has just teed off in the Reno-Tahoe Open, but he finds himself four shots back of current leader Scott Piercy, who just set the course record in Round 3 with an 11-under 61.
Piercy made a six-foot putt for eagle on the 616-yard closing par-5 to best the previous course record of 62, which had been shot three times (Bill Glasson, 2005; Joe Ogilvie 2006; Parker McLachlin, 2008).
Piercy birdied Nos. 2 though 9 at Montreux, and after birdies at Nos. 14 and 15, the 59 watch was on for the third-year PGA TOUR player. His lone bogey came at No. 17, a 464-yard par-4, effectively ending the threat.
Other big movers in Round 3 include TOUR rookie Jim Renner, who shot a 7-under 65 and is currently in third place. James Driscoll also went low with a 66 to move to 7 under.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. -- Despite a left wrist injury that will require an MRI, Joe Ogilvie finds himself in a familiar position at the AT& National.
A year after shooting a 66 in the first round at Aronimink, Ogilvie opened with a 67 Thursday to share the top spot. Coincidentally, he also led after the first round in 2007 when the event was played at Congressional.
"It sets up for my eye," Ogilvie said of Aronimink. "And I'm smart enough to figure out this is a golf course where you can miss it in certain places in the fairway and kind of have angles, so if you do hit it in the rough, you can kind of scrape it on the green. And other than 10, I executed my game plan well in the sense of where I missed the shots because I know I'm going to miss a lot of shots. I just want to miss them in the right place."
To Ogilvie's point, despite hitting just 57 percent of his fairways, he still hit 72 percent of his greens in regulation. That helped open the door for four birdies and just one bogey.
"[The greens] are just tricky, a lot of hills and dales, and the pin placements today I thought were tough," Ogilvie said. "The greens are very tricky, but they're true."
By Mike McAllister, PGATOUR.COM
IRVING, Texas -- If you get a chance, check out Joe Ogilvie's scorecard in his first two rounds at TPC Four Seasons Report ( click here ). Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to comprehend it. Lots of colors are involved.
That's because Ogilvie's scorecard includes one eagle, 12 birdies, eight bogeys and one double bogey in addition to his 14 pars.
"Yeah, it looked like an Easter egg," Ogilvie said.
The most important number, though, was 4 under. That's where Ogilvie stands after his even-par 70 on Friday. That left him on the front page of the leaderboard when he walked off the course, and gives him the opportunity to post his second career TOUR win this week.
"I'm making way lot of mistakes, but I'm playing well," Ogilvie said. "I'm making mistakes because I'm playing very aggressive."
Ogilvie has needed just 26 putts in each of the first two rounds. He credits his ball-striking for getting him close looks at birdies
"I'm rolling it well and for me I'm hitting it extraordinarily well," Ogilvie said. "So I feel good around this place."
IRVING, Texas – Joe Ogilvie has birdied three consecutive holes and is now 7 under for the tournament, just one shot off the lead held by Ryan Palmer.
Palmer did lead by five shots at one point before Ogilvie heated up. Palmer also has suffered his first bogey at the day, at the par-4 15th. He's now 3 under on his round and 8 under overall.
Ogilvie shot a 66 on Thursday and had a rollercoaster opening nine Friday. He's 3 under for his round through 13 holes.
Ryuji Imada has had a productive morning. With one hole left in his round, Imada is 4 under for the day and 5 under overall. He's on pace to shoot his lowest score on TOUR since January.
Teenage amateur Jordan Spieth continues to stay above the cut line. He's 2 under through his first 10 holes and 3 under for the tournament. With half the field still yet to tee off in the second round, the projected cut line is 1 over.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Last Wednesday, Denny Hamlin shot a career-low 81 at Kinloch Country Club outside Richmond.
Then Hamlin got down to business at Richmond Motor Speedway. He drove his FedEx Camry to victory in the NASCAR Nationwide Series event on Friday and finished second in the Sprint Cup Series race on Saturday night.
The 16-time Sprint Cup winner stepped outside his comfort zone again on Monday, playing in the pro-am at the Wells Fargo Championship. The result? One of Hamlin's three best rounds, an 88, that included a 41 on the back nine, despite a double bogey at No. 10, his first hole of the day.
And the team – captained by PGA TOUR veteran Joe Ogilvie -- went on to win the pro-am. Hamlin contributed on six holes.
"I had a bad three-hole stretch on (his second nine) that kind of destroyed everything but I still played within my handicap," said a satisfied Hamlin, who recovered from triple bogeys at Nos. 6 and 7 to par his last two holes for a net birdie and net eagle.
His professional partner came away impressed.
"He hasn't played very much at all, i think he only took up the game 30 months ago," Ogilvie said. "He's a 21 handicap. ... He loves it, so I think he's on his way to a 10 handicap maybe by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. So his learning curve is great. He's a great guy and certainly a great representative of NASCAR."
Ogilvie says Hamlin's enthusiasm for the game, coupled with the mindset of an athlete, will accelerate that learning curve, too.
"At the end of the day, if you love golf, it makes the game a hell of a lot easier," Ogilvie said. "He loves it. He wants to get better. You take an athlete that's at the top of his game, they just have a different view of things.
"He wants to get better. he doesn't want to just go hack around at the golf course, he wants to get better. I think that's the way he probably drives as well."
Hamlin knows he has the edge in a stock car -- "I can tell you none of these golfers are going to come out and run a faster lap than me on a race track," he said. But the skill with which a pro like Ogilvie maneuvers a golf ball is equally impressive.
"It's amazing to me to see how they can pinpoint where they want it," Hamlin said. "He's thinking about where the wind direction is on his drive. I'm just looking to get it in the vicinity of about a 20-yard range. it"s amazing how good those guys are and how they focus."
While Hamlin makes his living driving cars at speeds in excess of 200 mph, he can appreciate the slower pace of a sport like golf.
"I like to say it's a relaxing game until I get angry and start throwing my clubs," the 30-year-old said. "The funniest thing I saw all day was I had an incident where I chipped past the green and there was this little girl. I took my iron and I chunked it into the ground and she said, 'Oh, Daddy. He's given up.' And I said, 'Yeah, you're right, I am giving up.'
"So that was the funniest thing I saw all day."
Hamlin now makes his home in Charlotte where he is an avid Bobcats fan but Monday was the first time he had ever played the Quail Hollow Club. The lefthander never played in front of so many people, either.
"It's bad enough when you're making wagers with your friends, the pressure, but to have people standing around waiting for you to hit you tee shots, it's tough," Hamlin said with a smile.
"... To be the first time here and as fast as the greens are, I'll take what we had today. Playing in stuff like this is a lot of fun."
Hamlin finished off his round by borrowing a right-handed driver and hitting it upside down -- a shot he learned from Bubba Watson when they played together in Phoenix last fall.
"Every time I hit that drive it's usually straight and obviously, it went further than everyone else's (today) too," Hamlin said. "So there's just something about that shot -- maybe you just concentrate on it more -- but when people see me put the club upside down and hit it, it's a little different."
Interestingly, Ogilvie, one of the PGA TOUR's most accomplished financiers, is part of a private equity fund that owns the Richard Petty Driving Experiences. So he's well-acquainted with what NASCAR drivers like Hamlin can do.
"I know a little bit about it, enough to be dangerous," Ogilvie said. "When you put a guy like me in the car and a guy like him in a car, you don't realize -- it's not even the same sport. What I do driving and what he does driving, it's amazing. ...
"They drive it an an optimal level. It's probably like what Bill Gates can do with a computer and what I can do with a computer. we both use them but one's going to get a whole lot more out of it than the other. And I think that's kind of the way he is with a car."
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Even here in the desert, TPC Scottsdale is a long, lush oasis of green.
Saturday during the Waste Management Phoenix Open, though, the color could get a little overwhelming as the tournament holds a "Green Out" to promote awareness of the eco-sensitive efforts of the event and its title sponsor.
And for every fan who wears green on Saturday, the tournament host Thunderbirds will donate money to Arizona Clean & Beautiful.
Charley Hoffman and Joe Ogilvie, who represent Waste Management on the PGA TOUR, are among those in contention. Hoffman is 7 under through 33 holes while Ogilvy is 5 under and has yet to start his second round.
So both should get plenty of notice on Saturday -- and Hoffman, for one, plans to do his best to live up to the "Green Out" standards.
"I will guarantee you I have green pants, green shoes, green hat, green gloves," Hoffman said earlier in the week. "I haven't decided if the white shirt will look better than the green shirt yet. The shirt is probably the only thing up for grabs."

No. 13 Lewis Men's Volleyball stuns No. 2 Brigham Young in five |
Published: January 14, 2013. The No. 13 Lewis University Men�s Volleyball team came from down 2-0 to defeat No. 2 Brigham Young 3-2 (21-25, 19-25, 25-20, 25-18, 15-9) at Smith Fieldhouse for the first time in program history. The Flyers, snapping an 0-12 record against BYU, improve to 1-2 on the season while the Cougars move to 2-1. �This was a great team win,� Lewis head men�s volleyball coach Dan Friend said. �After last weekend, we put in a lot of work on areas that we struggled in and built team chemistry. �It was good to see the team has matured in such a short time to get this win.� Redshirt sophomore Geoff Powell (Claremont, Calif./Claremont) was a big key to the Flyers victory. Powell hit a career-high .767 with 24 kills on 30 attempts for the Flyers with his only error of the match game in the fifth set. �As a coach, Geoff was fun to watch,� Friend said. �He was in a groove tonight and BJ kept finding him late in the match to put us in position to win." In the opening set, Lewis was able to take a 12-9 lead, capitalizing on a BYU attack error by Ben Patch. The squads forced six ties before the Cougars were able to mount a late 5-1 run to take the set, 25-21, on two kills, one ace and two Lewis errors. The Cougars came out hot in the second stanza, as the Flyers were only able to get within a point at 17-16, on a BYU attack error. BYU would close out the set on an 8-3 run to win 25-19. Re-energized in the third set, setter BJ Boldog (Palatine, Ill./Palatine) kept feeding Powell, who tallied six of the Flyers 12 kills that set. The Flyers were able to push their lead to five, on a block by Boldog and Yiwei Zhou (Nanjing, China/Nanjing No. 1). Lewis hit .647 getting 12 kills on 17 attempts, with only one attack error, to take the third set 25-20. Zhou tied his career-high six block assists to lead the Flyers. Boldog tallied 47 assists and five blocks. After exchanging seven ties, the Flyers were able to hold a three-point cushion in the fourth set on a Powell kill at 12-9. With Lewis up 17-12, the Flyers were able to stifle any chance of a come back by the Cougars to win the set 25-18 on back-to-back kills by Powell. BYU called two time outs in the fifth set to ice fifth-year senior Jay Petty (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North), but to no avail. The Flyers went up 13-8 on a kill and block each by Bobby Walsh (Chicago, Ill./Mount Carmel), Eric Fitterer (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville), and Powell. Hot-hitter of the match Powell registered the kill to win the set 15-9 and match. Patch led the Cougars with 16 kills and four blocks while Taylor Sander added 14 kills and six blocks. Ryan Boyce registered 43 assists for BYU. Lewis and BYU will battle again on Saturday (Jan. 12) at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah, with first serve at 7 PM MT.
Lewis University is a Catholic university offering distinctive undergraduate and graduate programs to more than 6,500 traditional and adult students. Lewis offers multiple campus locations, online degree programs, and a variety of formats that provide accessibility and convenience to a growing student population. Sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, Lewis prepares intellectually engaged, ethically grounded, globally connected, and socially responsible graduates.

TORONTO—Gay or straight, male or female—everyone is having fewer affairs now than they were in the 1970s. According to a new study presented here today at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association, extramarital (and extra-partnership) sex is way down, and discussion about the topic within couples is way up.
Psychologists at Alliant International University in San Francisco and their colleagues compared survey responses from two large groups of couples, self-categorized as gay men, heterosexual men, lesbians or heterosexual women. About 12,000 people answered the relevant questions in 1975; close to 1,000 participated in 2000. The average length of the relationship at the time of the survey varied between groups, from about four and a half years for lesbians, almost seven years for gay men and about 14 years for heterosexual couples in 1974 to nearly 11 years for lesbians, 13.5 years for gay men and almost 20 years together for straight couples in the 2000 survey.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello future JD students!Feeling lost? I'm here to help. Whether you have a few weeks before the test or a few years, I'll try my best to explain any questions you may have. I graduated from CSULB in Spring of 2012, and earned a Bachelor's of Science in International Business. After graduation, I spent three months studying for the LSAT by myself, using an array of different test prep books. I completed approximately 60 different practice tests, and took the LSAT twice.My first experience in the testing room was a nerve-wracking one. Feeling as though I could've fared better, I retook the test and scored in the 90th percentile. So, I understand the wave of emotions you may experience! Rather than being gifted, I studied extremely hard and made a detailed schedule of what I needed to do.My tutoring experience include a year teaching high-school students math from calculus on down, and English to students while I was studying abroad in Japan. Despite a communication or age barrier, I will always try my best to deconstruct the problem in a way everyone can understand. I will explain a problem as many times as necessary, until it is understood.Thank you for reading, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and good luck to all!

Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway.
Has bought outright summit eighty businesses.
Only one of those businesses.
Came from -- foreign country and we are now here explicitly but the chairman of his car which is -- cutting tools manufacturer.
Out of Israel and it's interesting -- time Wertheimer we're really happy to have you here I think about.
What you do at how many businesses he owns up to eighty businesses get out of the five.
What are you doing so well at his car during what could be a tough economy globally that.
It's a -- story.
We have through wonderful customers.
And they're wonderful people on this and we have to see that -- own.
Together that so ago.
In realistic we have 2 would usual I am -- -- solution well customer.
Because all of them want to be -- but -- -- tomorrow morning -- the next -- -- -- -- and if we get -- and good solution and then be competitive they'll be successful it's our job.
OK so you're executing you do a good job that's all very -- that time but the fact is.
We have big troubles in the eurozone the global economy has started to weaken China and which you do business as well is showing a little sign of stress and strain.
So how is it that you had record earnings last year in what you do and by the way he does cutting tools for heavy metal industries like aviation and the -- We found long time ago that we do not -- moment.
We think we have -- the people please get absolutely.
And find another cut.
The world get get this.
And our customers.
I see balance -- recession levels.
In the housing in the financial markets on the other hand -- about eating and drinking and driving -- and going over the life had some influence of plausible.
Stay right life and that -- of successes in spite of the balance sheet with.
-- economy which is just operational one.
He's aerospace industry is growing like this in you and -- people -- -- I have less problem and they have as always let's -- amount of people who want -- -- I have more energy people the woods is moving.
The countries around China around in the and the growing and growing and growing and keeping up the demand our biggest problem was he was keeping up and or problems got to -- Well that's a good problem to have you mentioned China -- the -- The substance that rare earth substance that you use tungsten a lot of it comes out of China.
Are they trying to slow down.
Your ability to mine out of there and what do you do how do you get around that work around that -- But the -- we probably Chinese market -- of them.
The second thing we also about those -- little bit into the mining area.
In the we're doing it slowly or time to -- destitute -- -- -- But it was always -- you have to look for them without material we don't look good to be able to drivers I think the price of I'm going to go higher in the near term it's gonna go up and down but we never know what's -- But we have to be let people situation and make it to be happy about it.
Traditionally it.
As a -- tended to forget -- -- you had dinner with more profit last night.
How to talk to you.
First -- -- awarded amazing dog we -- I was just.
So I MC was us.
-- Talk about marketing so what did amazing market figured they to have -- the market big enough customers -- it.
-- is.
Has got all that'd be you know.
Its old level bowers.
You don't fight the -- around.
It may be run out of the -- of about a hundred he has -- -- -- that will be especially -- is -- really great future.
And -- learned from him perfect balance between you'll had -- And those things and every time that we talked -- you -- something you and its.
Looks like the beginning of this on -- along song yeah.
I know you watch.
What happens in the United States very often he's pushing this profit tax -- a long millionaires.
Of course you do business in the US -- do it all over the place you based in Israel but the tax rates here in the United States you know.
How different is -- doing business here is it onerous is it more difficult if you think our rates.
Prevent businesses from growing.
I think.
That you USA has a very strongly and that the defeat he did to.
The promotion to.
Into and that helps a lot because you have to create all the time nuisance.
-- level of basic and effect from sometime going to -- the -- still -- egos who do those things but.
America delays main issue -- -- -- -- goods and how many infected people who want to do something good put to him -- And paid the -- things and AmeriCredit and -- times of course yep competition from China and India clearly hungry people.
Did move that thing they want to have the first the want to have that -- president says the very hungry.
And but that's the right thing so it's not that.
Just it's never the right things the auto industry how does -- look for your company because -- worked in it and as you know some people disagree with bailing out General Motors and Chrysler a couple years ago during the crisis.
President Bush.
For -- President Obama follow through with that Mitt Romney who's running for president has said he wouldn't.
I know very little about the politics.
Dealers say I know that the right thing to bail out the US I think GM came out from you models.
And is winning market.
An amazing job.
And I have all the respect -- -- inside.
The best idea that it is an investor like and think about politically I don't know but -- -- the business point of view over.

And finally it's time the one sort of out wire that could be a huge negative -- what happens in Iran and of course your country Israel there are tensions.
Between Israel and Iran what do you think is going to happen here do you think that there will be some type of military conflict and should the US get involved at that point.
-- Of those people my -- of the spending is.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Powerball officials say the record jackpot has been won.
Early Thursday morning officials confirmed that two winning tickets were sold: One in Arizona and one in Missouri. An additional 8,924,123 players won smaller prizes.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.
A lottery official said late Wednesday that the jackpot increased to $579.9 million by the time of the drawing, making the cash option $379.8 million.
The drawing Wednesday night for the Multi-State Lottery Association's prize followed 16 consecutive drawings that produced no top winner, boosting the Powerball to the second-largest potential lottery payout in U.S. history.
Tickets earlier Wednesday were selling at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide, the jackpot enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery.

Tuesday - June 21, 2011 (Flagstaff, AZ)
I couldn't have woke up in a less comfey position this morning. The back of the wndrvan is filled with boxes of merch and on top of these boxes is a futon matress. I slept with a box digging into my upper spine area and as a result i felt like an old man for the first few hours of my morning. I watch 5 episodes of the second season of community to take my mind off of my back.
I drove for 2 hours starting around 10 we stopped in Albuquerque, NM for lunch at T-Bell (though we should have went to Frontier but we didn't realize that it was so close at the time) and ran errands at Walmart and Guitar Center.
After luch i almost ran over a couple walking across I-40. Beeping and yelling from 100 yards didn't seem to get them moving any faster than a turtle. Some people are extremely careless and stupid.
3 more hours until we get our bus for Warped!

stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
An all-new episode of me and Daniel Dockery's pop-music podcast, The Forty Ounce! Topics this time include the Men In Black 3 theme song, the QUITE INAPPROPRIATELY TITLED "Best Song Ever", and the new Justin Timberlake-influenced song by the J-Biebz himself.
Uh, we also talk for a long time about abusive relationships in this episode. We decided to talk about the horrendous and uncomfortable "Birthday Cake (Remix)" by Rihanna and Chris Brown, and as I found out while recording this episode, it is impossible to discuss that song outside the context of Chris Brown viciously beating Rihanna. I mean, unless you're an idiot who for some reason thinks that it's okay for Chris Brown and Rihanna to be on a song together. But you're not an idiot, are you?
It may not have been the right topic for what is supposed to be a comedic podcast, but… it's in there! So, enjoy.

I respond to the Tuesday Dispatch article "Cordray to tout work on consumers' behalf." Praise for Richard Cordray's performance as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has come not just from consumer, community, civil-rights, labor, and public-interest groups, but also from small-business and local government organizations, and from a striking number of financial-industry leaders.
Responding to a recently issued set of new rules for mortgage lenders, Dave Stevens, president of the Mortgage Bankers Association, paid tribute to the CFPB's "deliberative, inclusive, transparent" decision-making.
The senators who have vowed to block any nominee for director are doing so not on the basis of assessing the merit of the director but of the agency itself.
It is time for Cordray's opponents to back off and let the CFPB do its job.

Do you know if there are DSP libraries available for the Cortex R4? In assembly using the SIMD instructions? Hate to have to reinvent the wheel, I just need standard FIR filters, FFT's etc.
Hi Steve,
There is a plan to bring the ARM CMSIS 2.0 DSPLib to the Cortex-R4. This library supports the FPU (and some SIMD, I understand) for the Cortex-M4. The objective will be to bring this scope to take better advantage of the R4 ISA and to provide some C optimizations taking the 8-stage pipeline into account.
You can download the M4 version as the conceptual basis for what will used on R4. http://www.onarm.com/cmsis/download/10/version-2-0-of-the-cortex-microcontroller-software-interface-standard-cmsis/
The libraries are optimized C – not hand-coded assembly optimizations.
When we have some more accurate timing on the release, we will post on the wiki or Forum.
Is your need immediate?
Also, I see that you are using the 4.9 compiler. I believe there may be some differences in the intrinsics used in CMSIS (ARM's) vs. the TI compiler. Our goal will be to support both but ARM's will likely be supported first.
Just want to throw my vote behind getting CMSIS support for the Cortex-R4F (TMS570).
This would be very useful for the project I am working on.
Mostly I require Low Pass FIR filtering for 16-bit and 32-bit integer data.
I ended up writing my own in assembly, an 800%+ improvement in speed occurred for my FIR filter, I used the below article as a guide (C code was 670usec vs 80usec in assembly).
We are still working to enable the CMSIS DSP Library for the Hercules family. Please stay tuned. In the meantime, did Steve's suggestion solve your immediate concern?
Yes, we are using that link to design a filter.
An update ... we have received the R4 dsplib from ARM and are in the process of evaluating it and to make it easy to use and understand the benefits. This effort will require a few more weeks of work. Look for a public posting of this library in the March 2012 timeframe.
Is it now available ? Please inform me. Thank you.
We are still targeting the end of this month. Is there something specific in the DSP lib that you are interested in?
I can tell you that the we are expecting a reasonable pre-optimized DSP lib so we can use it without too much care. Also the best one fits the capabilities of the R4F core.
Hi again. Is there anything new ?
I am also waiting for this.
Any new status as this was going to be ready at the end of last month?
Can we please have an update?
Any updates on the DSP library?
Is the DSP libarary available now for the Cortex-R4F? This would be very usefule for the project I'm working on, mostly I require a fast FPU math libaray similiar as what TI provided from its ControlSuite.
Steve, Tan, Andy, Manuel, Holly,
Thank you all for your patience. At long last we have the Cortex-R4 DSP Library available for download on the TI product web site. Please note that it does expect TI Code Generation Tools 5.0 or greater. This is one of the key reasons we needed to delay. We also wanted to deliver a complete library of functions and that required some additional time to sort through some of the differences in intrinsics between Keil and TI compilers. I hope this can still be of use to your projects. Have fun!
TI's Cortex-R4 DSP library conforms to ARM's Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS), a standardized hardware abstraction layer for the Cortex processor series. The CMSIS-DSP library includes 60+ functions covering vector operations, matrix computing, complex arithmetic, filter functions, control functions, PID controller, Fourier transforms and many other frequently used DSP algorithms. Most algorithms are available in floating-point and various fixed-point formats and are optimized for the Cortex-R series processors. The Cortex-R4 processor implementation uses the ARM DSP SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instruction set and floating-point hardware to enable fully the capabilities of the Cortex-R4 processor for signal processing algorithms. The CMSIS-DSP library, written entirely in C and delivered with source code, enables software programmers to adapt algorithms for specific application requirements and can deliver higher performance for digital signal processing and control applications than can be achieved typically by compilers and run time support libraries.
Projects supporting CCS5, Keil and IAR code generation are included. An example object code library is included as well.

A hands-on look at how ASU engineers are inspiring excitement for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in K–12 students.
Why do students seem to hate science and mathematics during middle and high school? How could science ever be boring? We are in a crisis in education in the United States — a motivational crisis. Students crave challenge. They want to see how they can make the world a better place. They will work hard if the subject is meaningful to them. Unfortunately, K–12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education does not adequately address any of these issues. The result is that the majority of American children actively disengage from science, engineering and technology — to our economic and social detriment.
Come see how ASU engineers are changing the face of curricula and instruction by introducing students to engineering design — solving problems by envisioning and creating useful products — while building in students' own interests, the usefulness of science and mathematics content, and the joy of innovation in action. In this hands-on experience, the audience will interact with tools and materials that have fascinated kids in our research and outreach activities while learning how to advocate for engineering education as a means for positive change.
Tirupalavanam G. Ganesh is assistant professor of Engineering Education at Arizona State University's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He also serves as the program coordinator for the Engineering Education concentration in the doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction, and previously served as assistant dean for information systems in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. Ganesh's research is largely focused on K–12 curricula, integrating engineering in K–12 education, and teaching-learning processes in both the formal and informal settings. He is principal investigator of the National Science Foundation-sponsored project Learning through Engineering Design and Practice, aimed at designing, implementing and systematically studying the impact of an informal middle school engineering education program. James A. Middleton is professor of engineering education and director of the Center for Research on Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology at ASU. Prior to these appointments, Professor Middleton served for three years as associate dean for research at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and as director of the Division of Curriculum and Instruction for another three years. He received his doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1992, where he also served in the National Center for Research on Mathematical Sciences Education as a postdoctoral scholar. Middleton's research is focused in children's mathematical thinking, teacher and student motivation in mathematics, and teacher change in mathematics. He is currently developing methodologies for utilizing the engineering design process to improve learning environments in science, engineering and mathematics, and has written on effective uses of educational technology in mathematics and science education as a natural outgrowth of these interests. To fund his research, Middleton has garnered more than $20 million in grants to study and improve mathematics education in urban schools. He just finished a $1.8 million research grant to model the longitudinal development of fractions, rational number and proportional reasoning skills in middle school students, and is currently engaged in a project studying the sustainability of changes in urban elementary teachers' mathematics practices. All of his work has been conducted in collaborative partnerships with diverse, economically challenged, urban schools — a relationship that's resulted in a significant positive impact on the direction partner districts have taken, including a significant increase in mathematics achievement in the face of a rising poverty rate.

After the financing program has been launched, you will need to manage and oversee the program to ensure its continued success. An important consideration is to determine how you can best monitor program performance with the intent of continuously improving processes.
Making mid-course corrections depends, of course, on the evaluation of your program's performance and processes. It is important to design programs with evaluation in mind at the very beginning. Indeed, evaluation and program design activities are inextricably linked, as the figure below demonstrates.
Because of this link between program design and evaluation, you will need to determine the measures of success and timelines for achieving objectives simultaneously with developing the parameters of your program. For example, if an objective of your program is to provide fast and easy loan approvals, you will need to develop systems for capturing and verifying the number of days that loan applications are completed and loans are closed. Other evaluation measures or metrics may include:
For each measured parameter, your staff and all involved partners need to understand:
To the extent that any one of these metrics is not consistent with program goals, you should seek out the reasons why and develop appropriate remedies.
If budget allows, you might also consider hiring an independent evaluator, if necessary, to assess the impacts, attribution, and effectiveness of the program.
By considering evaluation practices at the time you design your program, you will be in a better position to identify and avoid costly problems down the road. Energy professionals, if included in the program design stage, can help you develop clear and logical processes for establishing metrics, measurement systems, and continuous improvement processes.

Product 507/1283
The Nebraska territory is a lonely place for young Jamie, who longs to be a Pony Express rider, but only manages to take care of their horses. Still, he has the ponies, and his father, and before he knows it he has Thad, a boyhood friend from back in Iowa.
Jamie has always found Thad fascinating, and soon the two young men strike up a friendship that might just turn into more. War looms on the horizon, though, and even as Jamie is realizing his dream of riding for the Pony Express, he knows his life is about to change drastically. Will he find a way to keep all he holds dear, including Thad?
"Jamie! Jamie boy, if you don't get that behind of yours out here right now and help me with these supplies…" Jamie heard his pa hollering all the way from inside, curled up on his straw tick under the eaves as he was. "Comin', Pa!" he yelled back, struggling with his trousers. He'd just meant to get a little shut-eye after chores were done. Meant to do some wash while the sun was shining. 'Cept that never happened.
He tugged his trousers on, hopping on one foot as he shoved the other down the wrong leg. He near to killed himself, stumbling out the door. "If you just wait--" he started to say, looking up as he fastened the buttons on his trousers over his backside instead of his front.
Weren't just Pa that stared at him. There were three others with him--two riders, by the looks of them, and a big-shouldered fella that Jamie swore was--
"Thad?" Backward trousers forgotten, Jamie ran toward the tall man that sat in the seat of the second wagon. "Thad Richardson!"
"Jamie boy!" The blond fella swung down from the wagon and grabbed Jamie in a huge bear hug, squeezing him tight around the waist. "I betcher pa you wouldn't remember me, but damned if you did."
"'Course I did," Jamie muttered, feeling his face flush. "It's… you're Thad."

I have used the two PCI slots in the motherboard for two external network cards, but I need three physical ethernet interfaces. I also tried some PCIe ethernet cards with dual ports, none can be driven. If the integrated ethernet card can't be driven, could you please suggest me some dual ports or four ports ethernet cards which can be used in QNX 6.5.0 ? Many thank. Yours Jay

Recipe by prissycat
"This recipe is so easy and is so good! Great for breakfast with a cup of coffee, or for dessert."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups blueberries
Before I even made this I knew my biggest challenge would be to camouflage the characteristic artificial taste of a yellow cake mix. I used an extra 1/2 tsp. of vanilla and substituted melted butter for the vegetable oil to give it a buttery flavor. To compensate for the moistness I knew would be lost by using butter, I also added 2 T. of vegetable oil. I used a full pint of blueberries. Most of that tell-tale cake mix was gone, the butter added rich flavor, the addition of 2 T. of oil contributed the moistness I was after, and the cake was just bursting with plump, fresh blueberries. I used a specialty, swirled Bundt pan and the cake was just beautiful as well as delicious. I drizzled the cake with a shiny, white glaze of 2 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1 T.corn syrup and 2 T. hot water. A commercial bakery couldn't have turned out a finer cake!
I've made a few pound cake recipes from scratch, and this recipe does NOT even come close! Although it is moist, it is light and spongey in texture. Pound cake is heavy and dense. You need to use fresh blueberries to if you decide to make this to give flavor. I did use a french vanilla cake (what I had on hand). I subbed 1/4 cup of melted butter for the oil. Make to sure grease and flour the pan very well for it not to stick.
286 Ratings
This cake was delicious. It disappeared quickly. I used the vanilla cake mix as recommended by previous users. I also baked at 350 for 55 minutes. I coat the blueberries with flour before adding to batter. This keeps them from all falling to the bottom of the cake! Great Recipe! I am making again today!
AMAZING recipe. I have made this two ways. French Vanilla Mix, 2 cups blueberries, and baked at 350 for about 45 minutes. I used vanilla glaze recipe from this site, glazed it, and put vanilla shells around the bottom. RAVE reviews. I also did this adding some cinnamon and 2 cups diced apples (instead of blueberries). I coated the apples in brown sugar, white sugar, flour and nutmeg before adding them to mix. After baking, dusted the top with cinnamon and sugar.
I used egg beaters, fake sugar, fat free cream cheese, and apple sauce in place of the oil. Even with those 'diet' options, this was still an incredible cake.
Delicious recipe and easy to make. If baked at 350 degrees, the cake needs to cook for about an hour and 15 minutes.
A very big hit with the family. Took the advice of others and used French Vanilla cake mix, increased blueberries to a pint, and baked at 350 for 55 minutes. Will definitely be making this one again...very simple with excellent results.
I love this cake, very dense and rich. I used lemon cake mix (which is a great accent to the blueberries), extra blueberries, and sugard the bundt pan rather than flour. The only downfall is the presentation. It doesn't really need a glaze or topping at all, (not even whipped cream), but it needs something to make it more visually appealing. The next time I make this I'll try a light sprinkle of powdered sugar, hopefully it'll help! I plan on making this many more times!

Crazy Rumor of the Day
Niklas Backstrom & Pierre-Marc Bouchard for Saku Koivu & Sheldon Souray
From the Wild's perspective I probably wouldn't pull the trigger. PMB's only 22 and has huge upside, while Saku's in his 30's and Souray is an unrestricted free agent after the season. It would be tempting, though, especially if they'd take Benoit Pouliot instead of Bouchard.
3 comments:
I think they'd have cap problems with that deal. I'm also not sure that it really addresses the Wild's needs, either. While I really think the Wild could use a third solid center (Wyatt Smith and Todd White are disasters if you ask me), I'm really not sure if giving up PMB and bringing in Koivu is a net positive in the end. PMB does a lot for this team. Souray has a bit of a mean streak and of course he's got that great shot, but he's not exactly what you would call a shut-down defender, which is really what the Wild need more than anything back at the blueline. Of course they could use some offense from the blueline as well, so why not, eh?
I can't say it's not tempting, though. The lineup does need a bit of tweaking. That much is clear. We'll see... - 2:59 PM
- E said...
1st response: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
2nd response: really, that's a terrible, terrible deal on so many levels. we (mtl) need scoring, in massive quantities, so it would be just plain silly to trade away our top two scorers for one forward (even a young one with huge upside) and a goalie (even a really good one). there's no short-term benefits in this for us, and long-term, we're freakin' drowning in goalies over here. if it was just souray for a center, that'd make more sense... - 10:26 AM
Very true, e. Why would Mtl want a goalie over the short term if they're trading two of their best players going down the stretch? Doesn't make any sense. As for Souray for a center... How about Todd White? He's been the Wild's 1st/2nd line center for most of the season (though I struggle to understand why more and more with each game), but hey he is a center! He used to be decent with the Sens. Remember?

University of Arizona: Pro-Life Group Denied Recognition Over Belief Requirement
- "Victory: Pro-Life Student Group Finally Recognized at University of Arizona," April 21, 2010: In a victory for freedom of association, the University of Arizona has reversed course and granted its Students for Life (SFL) group official recognition. The decision gives the group equal access to university resources. SFL's application was initially denied by UA's student government because the group's proposed constitution required that members share beliefs about the sanctity of human life. After the student government denied recognition to his group, SFL founder Jeremiah Lange came to FIRE for help.

CHICAGO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Please replace the release dated September 30, 2013 with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
In an effort to further integrate robotic technology into the current surgical armamentarium for surgeons and maintain best patient outcomes, the Clinical Robotic Surgery Association (CRSA) announced today its plans to provide real and clinical insight into the safety and efficacy of robotic surgery during its 5th Worldwide Congress. Over the past decade more than 1.5 million robotic surgeries have been performed worldwide using Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci systems. This technology has dramatically improved the utilization of minimally invasive surgery across several fields including urology, gynecology, thoracic, cardiac, colon, pancreas and transplant surgery.
"As robotic surgery continues to evolve, it is important that we also encourage continuous quality improvement in clinical programs," said Dr. Laurent Bresler, president of CRSA. "And part of our mission is to work with clinicians and their societies to enhance training and education of surgeons on the application of robotic technologies in a broad set of surgical procedures."
"Robotic technology has a proven and promising role in surgery," said Dr. Pier Giulianotti, Chief of the University of Illinois Medical Center's Division of General, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery, and past president of CRSA. "Well trained robotic surgeons continue to achieve excellent clinical outcomes with this innovative platform, and it is important that we keep advancing – ourselves and the technology."
During the meeting, the association plans to create surgeon training and credentialing guidelines for robotic surgery to help surgeons go through a clinically-justified training protocol and complete their learning curve in a standardized regimen. Additionally, CRSA intends to create an online CRSA Robotic Surgery Patient Portal that will enable patients to connect with proficient surgeons in the field to ask questions about robotic surgery.
"In the hands of well-trained robotic surgeons, this method of surgery proved to be safe, effective and offers excellent outcomes as published in thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Our upcoming meeting is set to be a proper clinical forum to highlight our members' surgical outcomes in a scientific and comparative manner," said Dr. Joseph Colella, executive member of CRSA.
The 5th Worldwide Congress of the CRSA is being held on October 3-5, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Featuring a faculty of more than 150 experts in clinical, research and education on robotic surgery from leading academic centers from around the world. CRSA invites surgeons and healthcare policy makers to attend this meeting for more scientific information on robotic surgery.
About Clinical Robotic Surgery Association
The CRSA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit association registered in Illinois, United States that is focused on providing education for robotic surgeons. The association has over 400 members from around the world, and is formed by thought leaders in the field. For more information visit www.clinicalrobotics.com.

Not much to see if am honest maybe due to christmas decorations going up, would think this would be a lovely area to sit in the summer!
There was not a lot going on during my visit, as the Christmas decorations were being put up, however looked like nice area.
My wife & I visited Sundance Square in unseasonably warm weather (81 degrees on 12/04/13), the day before a frigid spell struck (it's 26 degrees today with ice all over). Sundance was simply beautiful with all the architecturally beautiful buildings and all of the stunning Christmas lights and decorations. Sooooo many excellent stores and shops, along with too many dining... More
This is a very pretty area, easy to navigate. We were there the day the Christmas tree was lit so it was festive and the shops were nicely decorated for the holidays. There are a good number of restaurants and nice shops. Parking on Saturday was free. I especially enjoyed the architecture and murals on the buildings.
This was our first time in Sundance Square -- didn't even know it existed until we stumbled into it while going to eat in the area. This is a quaint, delightful old-town-style, appealing place to stroll and enjoy right in downtown! Plenty of parking, lots to see, shops to enjoy. Lots of couples and families taking it in -- and...

This renovated space is located in the heart of the city and has become one of my favorite places in Ft. Worth now. Family friendly, and yet still fun for the adults too. Restaurants and hotels within walking distance. Walk to the train to Dallas. No need for a car.
One particular family working in conjuction with the City of Fort Worth has turned what was essentially a downtown area that you did not want to be in after dark in the late 70's and early 80's into a must see and experience with lots of security to make sure you are safe! From the multitude of restaurants, new shops... More

Packers vs. Vikings – Game Day First Impressions, Unfiltered: GB 24 MIN 10
Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings:
My unfitered game day running blog post of comments, observations and first impressions.
Inactive for Packers today: WR Jarrett Boykin; CB Davon House; RB James Starks;LB Frank Zombo; WR Donald Driver; DT Jordan Miller; DE Jerel Worthy
Inactive for Vikings today: QB Christian Ponder, WR Stephen Burton, OT Troy Kropog, DE George Johnson, DE D'Aundre Reed, LB Tyrone McKenzie, CB Brandon Burton
Game Notes:
It's come to this: inactive for a home playoff game. Gotta feel bad for Donald Driver…
Vikings throw a monkey wrench into the Packers defensive game plan – Christian Ponder inactive.
Packers are 2-4 in their last six home playoff games. In all six of those game, the opposing team scored on their first possession.
16 of the last 21 Packers – Vikings games have been decided by seven points or less.
Mike McCarthy Pregame Show on 620 WTMJ:
Ponder: Joe Webb – very athletic QB. Had some time to look at him during the week, even today as it became more apparent he will play.
back-to -back same opponent: In a lot ways, we feel we've had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. QB change is an adjustment for our defense.
Stopping AP: Good solid run defense. It's about us. We're at home, it's about the mission we have before us.

Delivers Sound Advice to Assist New Mexico Homeowners
Albuquerque 5/03/2012 01:00 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Albuquerque's Indigo Mortgage Takes Pride in an Informative Staff
Albuquerque Local Business Indigo Mortgage has Turned Tragedy into Triumph
Indigo Mortgage Believes Sustained Low Interest Rate Expectations to Help More New Home Buyers and Homeowners
Indigo Mortgage, an Albuquerque, New Mexico mortgage company with four lending divisions to serve the residential, commercial, VA and reverse mortgage markets, recommends that consumers begin applying for FHA mortgage loans as the FHA streamline program rolls out in June.
The FHA streamline refinancing option helps homeowners to reduce the interest rate on their current home loan quickly and usually without the need for an appraisal to get FHA loan approval. The FHA Streamlined Refinance was also designed to significantly reduce paperwork for the lender, which can be passed onto homeowners in the form of fewer fees and a faster refinance process. The main benefit is that it allows homeowners to take advantage of the very low interest rates and be able to keep the extra money from the interest savings to apply toward some other necessity or for some other good use.
To qualify for the FHA Streamlined Refinance program, a homeowner's original home loan must be an FHA loan that is in good standing and the refinance must be able to reduce the monthly interest payments on this current FHA loan. This type of refinance program does not allow for any cash back or cash out payments.
For those homeowners that have a conventional loan but want to refinance with an FHA refinance loan, there are additional requirements often necessary for any refinance. These extra requirements include employment verification, debt ratio assessment, credit check and other analysis. However, it is worth considering despite not qualifying for the streamline program as an FHA refinance loan can still more than likely produce better interest rates and lower monthly payments.
In commenting on the upcoming expanded FHA refinance options, Benjamin Lucero, President, said, "We want to urge New Mexico homeowners and home buyers to act on the FHA Streamlined Refinanced program, a traditional FHA refinance, or an FHA loan because these offer the best interest rates possible and help the existing homeowner as well as the new home buyer get better monthly payments that will help them stay in their home for the long term. Because no one else cares as much about your loan as we do at Indigo, we encourage you to get started now as the upcoming roll-out will drive up the amount of mortgage loans being processed, and we want to ensure that we can focus on providing you with the best options available that suit your individual needs."
