By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Tweet
The "comprehensive" assessment of the health of eurozone banks – the ECB's long-awaited asset-quality review (AQR) of eurozone banks and latest European Banking Authority (EBA) stress tests – concludes that eurozone banks had a capital shortfall of only €24.6 billion as of end-2013 and only €9.5 billion as of now. That is ludicrously overoptimistic. Independent assessments, for example by Professor […]

5 Day LP and DH changed hi mind :(
|Wed, 01-19-2011 - 6:42am
I have had a 5 day LP now for the past two cycles, IT is so frusterating. AND then DH told me he really doesn't want another one. I am so sad right now. I pray he changes his mind,but doesn't matter with a 5 day LP. I will be charting for a couple more months and praying for a suprise. but probaby not to active on the boards.
|Wed, 01-19-2011 - 10:35pm
I'm so sorry to hear that. I can imagine your frustration. My husband asks me sometimes- are you sure 3 isn't enough? Are you sure our family isn't complete? So i'm kind of nervous that eventually he'll say the same thing. Wishing you luck!
|Fri, 01-21-2011 - 1:35am
Oh that is so hard and frustrating :( My DH had agreed to #3 but when we had to turn to IVF to get her baking, he was very against going that far. It was a hard time when we were at such odds as to what to do.....I was upset and mad at him.....fortunately I changed his mind - hope you can do the same with your DH if it is something you desperately want.

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
A check engine light can indicate a broad spectrum of problems with your 2006 Ford Focus. In some cases you need to pull over immediately to prevent damage while in others you merely need to tighten you gas cap next time you stop in order to reset the service engine soon light. The video above shows how to locate the on board diagnostics (OBD) plug on your 2006 Focus, how to read the trouble codes and how to reset or clear the check engine light using a scanner on your Focus.
Intermittent Check Engine Light: If the check engine light on your 2006 Focus is intermittent, try to take note of the conditions when this happens. For example, does it happen when you accelerating, driving on the highway or does it appear at low speeds? This will help your mechanic evaluate the issue. Steady Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is on every time you operate your Focus, you need to have it checked as soon as possible, especially if you notice performance problems or unusual noises. Flashing Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is flashing, stop driving your Focus and have it towed to your nearest mechanic - you probably have a very serious problem with your car and you risk ruining your engine by driving it. If you are unsure about what your diagnostic trouble codes mean; have your Focus diagnosed by a professional automotive technician.

Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 and graduated from Trinity College. He settled in Paris in 1937, after travels in Germany and periods of residence in London and Dublin. He remained in France during the Second World War and was active in the French Resistance. From the spring of 1946 his plays, novels, short fiction, poetry and criticism were largely written in French. With the production of En attendant Godot in Paris in 1953, Beckett's work began to achieve widespread recognition. During his subsequent career as a playwright and novelist in both French and English he redefined the possibilities of prose fiction and writing for the theatre. Samuel Beckett won the Prix Formentor in 1961 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. He died in Paris in December 1989.

Follow the Money? God forbid.
Why was the cashing out of billions of dollars just before the 9/11 attacks never investigated?
Had an investigation been done into the crime of failing to file the "currency transaction reports" in August 2001, then we would know who made the cash withdrawals in $100 bills amounting to the $5 billion surge.It's been over six years since 9/11, but U.S. regulatory entities have been slow to follow through with reports about the complex financial transactions that occurred just prior to and following the attacks. Such research could shed light on such questions as who was behind them—and who benefited—and could help lay to rest the rumors that have been festering.
When reviewing the record of July and August of 2001, Bill Bergman noticed a $5 billion surge in the currency component of the M1 money supply—the third largest such increase since 1947. Bergman asked about this anomaly—and was removed from his investigative duties.Surges in the currency component of M1 are often the result of people withdrawing their cash to protect themselves lest some anticipated disaster (such as Y2K) befall the economy. In January of 1991 a surge was recorded (the then second-largest since '47), which could be attributed to "war-time hoarding" before the Iraq I invasion, but could also be attributed to financial maneuverings and liquefying of assets relating to the BCCI enforcement proceedings.
Bergman points out that the August 2001 withdrawals may have been, to a large extent, caused by the Argentinian banking crisis that was occurring at the time. However, he raises the point that no explanation has yet fully answered the important question: Why was the cashing out of billions of dollars just before the 9/11 attacks never investigated? It's possible that the answer to this question is also the answer to the other follow-the-money questions surrounding 9/11; and despite an embarrassing heap of evidence, neither the press, nor Congress, nor any agency with investigative responsibility has done its job on our behalf. On the contrary, their inaction might reasonably be construed as a cover-up.
Bergman "followed the money," including developing a framework for working with money-laundering data and "suspicious activity" reports for monitoring and investigating terrorism. The questions he asked about what happened during the summer of 2001 should have led to investigations, which should have resulted in the prosecution of those with foreknowledge of the attacks.
Those who follow the history of the 9/11 fact-finding movement know that there is a laundry-list of unanswered questions that are just as compelling as those put forth by Bergman. And there is also a laundry-list of whistle-blowers who have been fired and subsequently ignored. So it is not at all surprising that Bergman was removed from his investigative duties, and that his concerns were not publicly addressed.
Bergman's supervisor instructed him follow up on an unanswered question he had raised pertaining to an August 2, 2001 letter from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve to the 12 Reserve Banks. This letter urged scrutiny of suspicious activity reports. Bergman learned of the pervasiveness of the warnings of the 9/11 attacks, and wondered how thoroughly these warnings had permeated the financial system.
In this capacity as Federal Reserve investigative point-man, and with his money-laundering portfolio being guided by his supervisor's directive, he asked the Board why they had issued their August 2, 2001 directive, and whether this related to any heightened intelligence of a terrorist threat. His position was then eliminated, and a crucial investigation was terminated before it could even begin.
Another 9/11 Commission Misrepresentation
Footnote 28 of the Staff Monograph on Terrorist Financing from the official 9/11 Commission Report states that the National Money-laundering Strategy Report for 2001 "didn't mention terrorist financing in any of its 50 pages."
True? No. The NMLS Report mentions it 17 times. One gets the impression that the commission staff (under Philip Zelikow) was trying to paint the picture that there wasn't a lot of co-operation between those involved in counterterrorism and the banking regulators in 2001. Why do they paint this picture, inasmuch as the contrary is the case? In fact, anti-terrorism was an important element of the National Money Strategy, and it was included and emphasized in its Report annually. It may have been part of the reason why the August 2, 2001 letter urging scrutiny of suspicious activity reports was issued in the first place.
In turn, the billions in currency shipments of July and August 2001 are completely omitted in the 9/11 Commission Report. I make bold to point out that the official story-line is that the attacks were accomplished by "the evil-doers" on a shoe-string budget with little money changing hands. Therefore, according to Zelikow et al., it is pointless to look at large flows of money in an investigation of the attacks. That makes perfect sense—unless you happen to have a brain.
To state the obvious, there are two reasons why Zelikow et al. made the false statement regarding there having been no references to terrorism in the National Money-laundering Strategy Report. One reason could be to justify and encourage more scrutiny (legal or otherwise) of small transactions generally, e.g. via USAPA, and the other could be to establish (read: invent) a reason for missing the evidence pertaining to the attacks. ('Transactions too small. No one could find.') And since the real money trail points to foreknowledge within the financial community at large, and, possibly, the Federal Reserve specifically, the "low-budget terrorism" story-line that the 9/11 Commission had established needed to be protected.
If such a lack of attentiveness to a financial transaction of $5 billion goes unnoticed in August 2001, then a reason had to be established for this lack of attention. And Bergman's attentiveness to the Board of Governor's August 2 letter was the fly in the ointment, as this letter proves that the Board was indeed attentive to suspicious transactions, even very, very large ones. Bergman's question of "Why" is therefore key to yet another avenue of inquiry.
All the News that's Permissible to Print
Note that a few dollars sent to an Islamic charity could warrant arrests, investigations, front-page stories, and, sometimes, torture and many years in jail. That's Propaganda 101: 'Large amounts of money do not fund major acts of terrorism. Small amounts do. Small amounts covered the 9/11 tab, therefore large amounts didn't.' The news coverage, creating high-profile prosecutions for relatively small transactions, reinforces this scenario.
With this in mind, we suggest that the reader follow the story of Mark Siljander (major coverage) on the one hand, and also follow the Times UK reports from Sibel Edmonds (verboten in the US mainstream press) on the other hand. Edmonds told me recently of the major foreign media outlets that had offered to report her story. Not one major outlet did so in the US. R.T. Naylor suggests, in his wonderful book Satanic Purses, that any major terrorist event that involves a lot of money is 'state terrorism,' and this is independently confirmed by Sibel Edmonds' statements as to the enormous sums changing hands at the time of the 9/11 attacks. I suggest that her testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee (Leahy and Grassley) gave the lie to the official financial myth of 9/11. If Bergman had been allowed to continue his investigation, I suggest that he would have uncovered the same thing. Note that the drug money and other illicit transactions described by Edmonds occurred during the same time period, and the amounts in the billions are comparable.
The Law
To members of the constabulary: the operable statutes are 1) The 1970 Bank Secrecy Act that imposed new financial reporting requirements to facilitate the tracing of questionable transactions and 2) the 1986 Money Laundering Control Act that criminalized the act of money-laundering. Also operable, and of particular relevance in a historical context, is the 1917 Trading With the Enemy Act that was relied upon in October of 1942 to seize the assets of "Hitler's Bankers in America," Union Banking, (involving bank vice president Prescott Bush under his father-in-law and bank president, George Walker).
The law is not always followed, and the required "currency transaction reports" are sometimes not filed. The 9/11 Commission Report and the National Money-laundering Strategy Report for 2001 did not identify those who are involved with large cash transactions. Had the paperwork been done in August of 2001, or an investigation done into the crime of failing to file the "currency transaction reports," then we would know who made the cash withdrawals in $100 bills amounting to the $5 billion surge.
Information about what transpired took years to develop after the fact. For example, the Federal Reserve fined United Bank of Switzerland and Riggs Bank in 2004.
Mr. Bergman states that he doesn't want to be a dog barking up the wrong tree, but the authorities, apparently under orders from our top officials, are preventing a standard investigation and the most obvious prosecutorial methodology from going forth.
Congress could step in; a prosecutor could step up. But don't hold your breath.

CNBC's Kate Kelly offers insight on hedge funds' muted returns. Leon Cooperman, Omega Advisors, also weighs in.
Wary of geopolitical tumult and eager for their first quiet August in years, some hedge-fund managers scaled back the size and scope of their bets in recent weeks, a pullback that was reflected, say traders, in muted monthly returns.
One nugget that may have been lost in the clamor of hedge-fund John Paulson's conference call with Bank of America employees and clients yesterday: The fund that represents his core thesis right now has struggled mightily so far this year.
Many of Paulson & Co.'s investors hung with it last year despite an annus horribilis in which the company's flagship hedge fund lost 35 percent. But with returns continuing to sag amid a rising equities market, some of those investors are now jumping ship.

It was Goldman Sachs that helped Knight Trading Group to unwind its inadvertent purchase of 148 stocks on Wednesday, say people familiar with the matter, and the bank charged the smaller brokerage $440 million for the transaction – an agreement that has left Knight scrambling for extra cash.
The third quarter is off to a vocal start for some of the world's top hedge-fund managers, who are weighing in on everything from "stumbling" European governments to "dumb" internal bank trades and "Kafkaesque" domestic financial regulations.
Addressing its so-called London Whale trades in detail for the first time, the New York hedge fund BlueMountain Capital Management called JP Morgan's misguided investments in a corporate derivatives index "dumb" but also unimportant in the context of an "otherwise robust bank."
CNBC's Kate Kelly reports Morgan Stanley is in advanced talks with a sovereign-wealth fund about selling its commodities unit.
Morgan Stanley officials are in advanced talks with a Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority, about selling part or all of its commodities unit, say several people familiar with the matter, and a deal could be imminent.

What you get with the Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 is the awesome 2002 R1 engine in a more practical but still high-spec chassis. The Japanese firm class the Yamaha Fazer 1000 as a sports motorcycle and they're right – but it has the ability of a sports tourer and a city motorcycle, too – with more than a splash of musclebike / posing tool chucked in for nothing. One of the best premium, sporty all round motorcycles you can buy.
The Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 is derived from the R1 which means the latest technology with proven reliability. Injection is quite sudden on the 2006 machines – it's something you get used to or solve with a Power Commander and some dyno time - although it's much improved on 2007-on machines. A little more low and midrange power would be nice but the sensation of the top-end rush, amplified by the high bars, is astronomic.
The Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000's quality suspension plus wide bars equals big fun. The Fazer's hard to fault, flicking easily into corners and handing well as long as it's on reasonable tyres. The lack of ground clearance means well ridden sports motorcycles will pull away but the Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000's still incredibly rapid. Excellent brakes and smooth over the bumps too.
The Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 in this respect is arguably worse than the previous model. A less comfy seat and smaller tank range don't help the Yamaha FZ1's distance credentials. None the less it's still a comfy, well equipped motorcycle. Loads of Yamaha official extras are available including hard panniers, crash protector bungs, immobiliser upgrade, fairing lowers and belly pan.
A weak point of the old Yamaha Fazer 1000 and, while things are a little better on the new one, it's a still a bit of a let down on a motorcycle that can handle so much year-round riding to see brackets and bolts furring up so soon. Reliability wise problems with the Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 are very rare – accident or theft damage is more likely.
The Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 sits in between budget big motorcycles like Suzuki's Bandit 1200 and Honda's CBF1000 and the 'fancy' street motorcycles like the Benelli TNT. In the same price bracket Kawasaki's Z1000 offers a more manic ride but less practicality, ditto Aprilia's Tuono but with poor dealer back up too. Keenly priced, especially when discounted.

After 55 years of riding all sorts I came across two very good deals on 2 FZ1s. Simply fantastic, I've read all the negatives and to me they amount to naught. Fast, agile, low speed maneuverability, good fuel mileage, and the looks! mine are Gen1 so they are carved with the tubular frame.
I simply cannot say enough about these machines.

The best move from a sports bike!
We are all getting older, a lot of us still want that buzz sports bikes provide but are getting aches and pains related to the sports bike crouched riding position - that can be ignored no longer! Need a solution to this problem? - I present to you the FZ1! This bike has a comfortable riding position to save your back and looks to rival or better any other naked/muscle bike out there. The quality of the parts and paint are blatantly top knotch (like most modern Yamahas I have found). But the biggest cherry on this good looking, usable cake - is the masses of available power at you command. The torque is fat and wide over the rev range, giving a seemingly never relenting build in power from very low down the rev band. This power could be intimidating to newer or less experienced riders, maybe even those returning from a lay off, If that is the case, the FZ8 would be the perfect bike for you (read my review on it). But we are talking about a bike for those coming from top end sports machines, who want to minimise the compromise - this is definately the best bike for you!

Test Ride
My approach to this test ride was from the point of view of wanting to try something a little lighter than my Hayabusa (for urban purposes) and also check out the quoted fuelling glitches that reviewers seem to dislike. This 2011 FZ1N was fine, especially from closed to small throttle openings, which is where most criticism had been quoted. No problems at all for me and also the low rpm torque characteristics also pulled strongly. It is lighter and more nimble in the urban context and filtering in tight spaces was better than the Busa. It didn't quite have the induction ROAR of the Busa but otherwise the instantaneous throttle response was impressive. Clutch (non slipper) action was very smooth & light and the brakes flawless. I liked the looks(I preferred the black) of the N far more than the S. One thing I did not like was the position of the footpegs. They dug into the back of my calves at standstill in the traffic forcing me to sit far forward. Rearset's a must for me on this bike... The engine was very impressive indeed. I'd say if you want a naked this is near if not at the top of the heap. The 6 speed GB was not as smooth as the Busa, but possibly due to newness and also there is no gear indicator, which is a bit of a let down by Yamaha. Build quality was exemplary and 4-1 exhaust sounded very good if a slightly on the quiet & cultured side. An Akra 4-1 system would fix that! This bike is nimble, very likeable, great looking & very powerful as well. On the road you would not notice the 0.5-1 sec giveaway to the mighty Busa in the 1/4 and 0-100kph dash. In the 250kph+ region, of course the Busa is pure Serenity without equal that I can see. With the FZ1, you gain lightness, but you also gain wind buffeting. You also LOSE around 45kg for the urban blast, so the FZ1 is fantastic, but away from the city traffic, the Busa Supremacy is still right up there.

I have owned mine for 18 months and done 16,000 miles in all weathers. This is the only bike i have ridden i cannot fault every morning i look forward to riding 10 miles to work and releasing the animal down the road. It can be all things easy effortless ridng over taking those tin boxes in 6th calm and collected or tearing your arms out of joint with mass acceleration the choice is yours. You can sit on motorways amply protected at very high speeds only the fuel consumption and capacity being a little dissapointing however more than required. You can flick the bike through bends on smaller roads only the large rear tyre slowing u a little. I have ridden through snow and even floods over 1 mile distance and 2-3 ft deep where cars have been written off without so much as a cough from the r1 motor. The chain and sprocket is original and only adjusted when tyre changes occur (every 5,000 mile on the rear)Thanks to a scotoiler. What more can i say other than thankyou yamaha

FZ1 Fazer 2008
I wanted a bike that could be be ridden like a tourer when I needed it and a sportsbike when I wanted it. It needed to accommodate a pillion in comfort and with two 6ft people on board, it needed enough grunt and top-end to be fun. I chose a new FZ1 Fazer and I'm not disappointed.
It's a bit a of a 'Q' bike - looks staid but it's surprisingly fast. Having owned a variety of sportsbikes, what I particularly like about the FZ1 is that it makes it easy - I never feel tired or cramped after a long ride.
Gripes? The standard screen creates too much turbulence but this is sorted with the excellent MRA Vario screen. For a more cosseting ride, I've replaced the standard seats (which can become uncomfortable on longer rides) with Sargent Seats. The sides of the tank can get marked if, like me, you tend to grip the tank with your knees under heavy braking, so I fitted some TechSpec Gripster tank pads (they really suit the bike, fitting is simple and they look much better that StompGrip pads). My remaining compliaint, which I'll address one day is that I have the dark blue model with gold wheels and it needs livening-up. I'm currently looking for suitable 'speed-block' decals but I guess I'll be visitng Dream Machine or Race Paint UK for something unique...

Buy a slip on
Had this bike '08 FZ1-S for 6 months and recently bought an Akrapovic slip on... new bike! It now has loads of midrange torque and is much more rideable - for touring or sports riding. The original pipe is a heavy piece of overly restrictive junk? Why did Yamaha put it there??????
22 April 2010
fz1 so good
I bought the fazer 2 years ago and have found it good.I do not do soft panniers but have put a top-box on E52 and have a monster bag for the pillion seat for touring-ish rides.I took it to germany hanover and found the ride great no back aches,or others things wrong.Fuel is rubbish 120 miles on average on tap would of been better with 160 mpg,throttle response is good on over 6-7000 rev's but under that and the bike is a bit slowish then wham your into 3 figure speeds.So low down grunt or dyno to smooth the power or response more will be needed.Would I buy another? yes ! it washes up well I apply GT85 to the back wheel to keep it clean and use ACF50 for the suspension spring.
28 October 2009
Fantastic Bike.Got the bike new in January.A credit to Yamaha, spot on!Went to France in March no problem loaded and 2up.Just rode solo from Plymouth to Split Croatia, non stop 1,500miles in 30 hours.You could knock four hours off for heavy rain and spray that forced me to stop in Austria.Toured Bosnia,Mostar valley, Sarajevo etc, AWSOME!!If you like this bike and are thinking of owning it, say no more.
31 August 2009
finally gave up sportsbikes - needed more comfort - this yamaha is just so much fun - taken the aftermarket screen off as it looks much better without - will use it for the annual tour though. Only negative is the seat - numb bum after 1/2 an hour. May have it modded with memory foam or gel insert or even buy a corbin replacement.

Antivert helps w/ DIZZINESS!! I had been experiencing dizziness, vertigo and balance disturbances for several months prior to my MS diagnosis. In February of 2006, I began taking half of an Antivert 25 mg. tablet each night. Even with such a small maintenance dose, I can see a dramatic difference in the aforementioned symptoms.
I was diagnosed with RRMS in March, 2006 and my neuro says it is completely fine to continue the antivert each night if it seems to help!! Hope this will help others w/ MS who are suffering from the same symptoms!! Take care and GOD bless!!

UFC 109: Couture clamps Coleman as Sonnen dominates Marquardt
UFC 109: Randy Couture submits Mark Coleman in Las Vegas
UFC 109…report and comments
The meeting of two of mixed martial arts Hall of Famers came over a decade too late, but the real victim of the tardiness of this bout taking place was Mark Coleman, who was never allowed out of the blocks by Randy Couture.
He may be 46, but he remains a testament to an impregnable work ethic and erudite physical skills.
Remarkably, Couture, as gracious as a human being as he is ruthless a competitor, was simply too tactically aware against Coleman, who, 45 himself, is slowing. More might have been expected of Coleman, who looked in excellent form in victory against Stephan Bonnar at UFC 100 in July last year, and teak-tough in a gasping contest on the wrong end of a defeat to Shogun Rua in Dublin in February 2009… (CLICK BELOW FOR FULL REPORT)…
GAD – UFC 109 notes:
Mark Coleman will not retire, but he is now hit and miss at title level. Very disappointing that Coleman did not meet Couture 10, even 5 years ago…this fight has been too long in the making.
Middleweight Chael Sonnen a beast of a wrestler but could be wide-open for submission attacks from Anderson Silva when he goes up for middleweight title. He is a rightful challenger.
Coleman was right about one thing: wrestlers are still a vibrant part of the lifeblood of MMA. Sonnen proved that against Marquardt. Total dominance.
For some reason, I was the only one to back Sonnen against Marquardt. Sonnen looked brilliant against Yushin Okami, has brilliant cardio, and a great chin. Surprised no one saw this coming…
…though I was undone by the haplessness of Coleman against Couture. My tip for him on this was based on his telling me about his training camp. I let me heart rule my head in tipping for Coleman. Couture continues to find a formula. Good enough for UFC 205 champion Lyoto Machida right now ? I don't know. For Shogun Rua, if he beats Machida in their re-match ? Maybe…
Middleweight Demian Maia clearly developing his stand-up and is looking much more powerful in the upper body.
Welterweight Paolo Thiago serious threat in the welterweight division. Very powerful wins now over Koscheck and Swick. Teak-tough chin, great finish…Please read full report for all details

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Batteries
About Samsung Galaxy S4 Active BatteriesWhat is your Galaxy smart phone without a battery? That's right, it's completely useless if it's not working! I don't know about you, but I feel so lost without my phone and disconnected from the world. I feel like I get separation anxiety to be honest, and I should really work on that. But that's beside the point! I think I am just scared to be lost without my GPS and without someone to call. Maybe, I'm just paranoid, but it's better to be safe than sorry. So, my point is, keep an extra charged spare battery with you at all times!! We have spare batteries that are made by Samsung or non-brand aftermarket batteries that work just the same but are less expensive and may have less mAh rating. Milliamp is just a fancy way of saying battery life, so the higher the mAh rating, the more battery life you have! Just a fun factoid, you're welcome!! We also carry portable charging banks. Now this is SUPER convenient and comes in handy and is your best bet in case of emergencies or travel. I think I would probably stock up on 50 of these bad boys just in case of a zombie apocalypse. I think I really need to stop watching all these TV shows. Anyway, they can charge your phone more than once and all you need to do is charge the charging bank separately. That way, whenever your Samsung Galaxy S4 runs out of juice, you can just charge it on these portable charging banks and voila! You're good to go! So I'll leave you alone with these charging banks and batteries for you to get to know each other better. If you want something to double as protection, there are also extended batteries for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. These are like a 2 for 1 because you're getting a case AND battery. It works to protect your phone while providing extra battery life without having to pop in a separate spare battery. They tend to make your phone a little thicker, so if you don't like that then you can always go with a power bank or spare battery like I had mentioned before but whatever you choose, just remember you GOT IT FROM A GEEK!

This Cowboy on his Horse Ornament Cowboys.
What is a Mustang?
is 4 inches tall and 4� inches across. These Western Christmas Ornaments are wearing a tan Cowboy Hat, red bandana, red and white striped shirt, brown gloves, brown chaps over blue jeans and brown Cowboy Boots. His horse is showing lots of spirit as it gallops off. Select to see a complete listing of our Christmas Decorations Ideas.
During the 16th century, the Conquistadors and other Spanish settlers brought their cattle raising traditions as well as their horses and cattle to the Americas, starting with their arrival in what today is Mexico and Florida. The traditions of Spain were transformed by the geographic, environmental and cultural circumstances of New Spain, which later became Mexico and the southwestern United States. In turn, the land and people of the Americas also saw dramatic changes due to Spanish influence.
The arrival of horses was particularly significant. Horses quickly multiplied in America and became crucial to the success of the Spanish and later settlers from other nations. The earliest horses were originally of Andalusian, Barb and Arabian ancestry, but a number of uniquely American horse breeds developed in North and South America through selective breeding and by natural selection of animals that escaped to the wild. The Mustang and other colonial horse breeds are now called "wild," but in reality are feral horses, descendants of domesticated animals.
As English speaking traders and settlers moved into the Western United States, English and Spanish traditions, language and culture merged to some degree, with the vaquero tradition providing the foundation of the American cowboy. Before the Mexican American War in 1848, New England merchants who traveled by ship to California encountered both hacendados and vaqueros, trading manufactured goods for the hides and tallow produced from vast cattle ranches. American traders along what later became known as the Santa Fe Trail had similar contacts with vaquero life. Starting with these early encounters, the lifestyle and lingo of the vaquero began a transformation which merged with English cultural traditions and produced what became known in American culture as the "cowboy". Check out our selection of Unique Christmas Ornaments.
A Mustang is a free roaming feral horse of the North American west. It first descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish.
In 1971, the United States Congress recognized Mustangs as �living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, which continue to contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people.� Today, Mustang herds vary in the degree to which they can be traced to original Iberian horses. Some contain a greater genetic mixture of ranch stock and more recent breed releases. Others are relatively unchanged from the original Iberian stock, most strongly represented in the most isolated populations. Select this link to view our Christmas Ornament Sets.

Visual cortex training: coming to a baseball team near you
Feb 17, 2014, 5:08 PM EST
This is fun. Some neuroscience researchers at UC Riverside had the UCR Highlanders baseball team take part in an experiment aimed at sharpening the way their visual cortex processes stimuli. Specifically, they looked at patterns on cards called Gabor patches, designed to increase vision and perception. The results were dramatic. From the research abstract, published in Current Biology:
We applied this training program to the University of California Riverside (UCR) Baseball Team and assessed benefits using standard eye-charts and batting statistics. Trained players showed improved vision after training, had decreased strike-outs, and created more runs; and even accounting for maturational gains, these additional runs may have led to an additional four to five team wins. These results demonstrate real world transferable benefits of a vision-training program based on perceptual learning principles.
The study is explained more generally at the L.A. Times.
The big caveat to all of this: the measurement of how much the team improved was based on sabermetric analysis of the team's performance compared to performance from the previous year, with researchers finding that "the Highlanders' improvements exceeded what would be expected from simply maturing and playing additional games." My suspicion is that variation and uncertainty in any projection/prediction of how a baseball team does — especially a college team, which has way less of a body of data behind it than big league teams — is pretty great. Maybe there was marked and significant improvement. But how much is probably extremely wide open given how inexact a science baseball projections represent compared to your average neurological research data.
Still: intriguing. If time with some pattern recognition exercises is truly effective, might time in the batting cage be cut a few minutes each day?

Depends a bit on how well the team did that first year. If they were below average than the increase can almost be expected (normal regression to a mean). If the team was above average then the increase is very likely to be real (you'd normally expect a decrease in the next measured time period).

I was a C student until Optometric Visual Training, pioneered by my father, treated and improved my accommodative (focus) and convergence (eye teaming) issues. I never would have been a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Dartmouth College without this therapy that effectively and non-invasively treats common learning-related visual disorders of accommodation, convergence, ocular motility and visual perception that are treatable by safe, effective therapies developed and documented over many decades by Doctors of Optometry. Doctors of Optometry are specifically trained, tested and licensed in all 50 states for their competence to deliver this kind of treatment. I invite you to utilize my book Refreshing Vision: Opening the Windows of the Soul. It contains step by step instructions for many of my favourite, simple home-based activities that helped me as a child. Please feel free to contact me through tryUnity.net if you would like to explore potential strategies for vision enhancement.

Beyonce Knowles is rumored to enter recording booth with Adele and make a duet with the British singer. They reportedly will work on the collaborative project during Beyonce's stay in Europe for her on-going "I Am..." world tour, which is conducted to support her third set "I Am...Sasha Fierce".
"Beyonce loves Adele's voice and her music, and Adele is really excited," a source says as quoted by The Sun. "She grew up listening to Destiny's Child and they are still her favorite group. It's her dream to record with Beyonce."
In the meantime, Beyonce Knowles is on the road, hitting several big countries in Europe. She will next be seen performing in Hungary, French, Germany, Spain and many other countries.

Pac Div - Black Acura
Artist: Pac Div
Featuring: Mac Miller, Raven Sorvino
Producer: Thelonius Martin
Album: GMB
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 7 votes )
Thought Pac Div had finally made it, now that they've got a global fanbase and a few projects under their belt? Au contraire; they're only getting started. On Black Acura, the latest single off their forthcoming full-length, Like, Mibbs and BeYoung demonstrate that the success they've enjoyed to date has only made them hungrier—not to mention more arrogant. Thelonius Martin's unconventional boardwork, a minimalistic mix of slow-rolling percussion and sampled, reverb-drenched grunts, sets the mood as the trio deliver verses packed with irreverent trash talk. Mac Miller and Raven Sorvino follow suit, showcasing their copious swagger in sardonic guest 16s. Featuring this record as well as the reader-approved Bank, GMB has yet to receive a solid drop date. Keep it locked for details on that project as well as on Mac Miller and Pharrell's Pink Slime, which is also currently unscheduled.

Important Information About Proposition R
Lemon Grove School District's General Obligation Bond
Election Date: November 4, 2014
Dear Parent/Guardian:
I am writing to provide you with information about Proposition R, a local general obligation ("G.O.") bond reauthorization on this November's ballot.
If passed, Proposition R will reauthorize a portion of Proposition W general obligation bonds overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2008. This reauthorization will replace $10 million of unissued Proposition W bonds. There will be no increase to the total amount of bonds originally approved by the voters in 2008.
If passed, Proposition R will allow the District to continue making major renovations and upgrades to classrooms and schools throughout our District including:
· Adding additional classrooms to help relieve overcrowding
· Increasing student access to computers and modern technology
· Meeting handicapped accessibility requirements in classrooms and restrooms
· Repairing and modernizing aging schools and educational facilities
Proposition R requires approval by at least 55% of those voters casting ballots. If passed, bond funds cannot be used for administrator or teacher salaries, benefits, or pensions. In addition, all bond expenditures must, by law, be annually reviewed by an independent citizens' oversight committee and audited by an independent accounting firm.
Repayment of the bonds will be made by an annual assessment of all property owners within the District. The amount of this assessment, as well as many other questions, is covered more fully in the Frequently Asked Questions, which I urge you to read.
I look forward to having an opportunity to further discuss Proposition R with you, or any other issues you may have. Please feel free to contact me at the District office at (619) 825-5600 or you can email me at email@example.com.

On April 27, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Blair Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its sixth opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
Bring your medications for disposal to the Blair Police Department at 1730 Lincoln St. in Blair, NE. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Last year the Blair Police Department recovered 126 pounds of prescription medication during drug take-back events. Throughout the year, BPD accepts prescription medication through our drop-off box located in our lobby.
Last year citizens anonymously left 242 doses of Oxycontin, 2183 doses of controlled substances and nearly 75,000 doses of other prescription medication.

I think I have enough discarded t-shirts to experiment with. First, straight lines, tomorrow, the world! Or curved collars.
Okay, fine, I'll buy oxtails this week! :D I'll cook them up in the chicken stock I make from my roasted chicken (I *will* use the crock pot for the broth, so much easier).
Princess Bride is just the right amount of silliness for Boyfriend & me, I think. He never envisions himself as a dashing hero though, and I don't understand why not!
Maybe he's more of an Andre the Giant: right place at the right time.

Check this out. I did a Google search for sewing tshirt collars without a serger and there are lots of websites that address just that.

Have you let him know that you see him as your dashing hero? Positive reinforcement never damaged a relationship!

It's true... even if he goes all "Pssssssshshaw, not Me" and denies it... he probably likes to hear it.
Those little Ego boosts are good for us all. ;)
That is exactly how I got my nondemonstrative spouse to become more openly affectionate. I finally realized I didn't have to wait for him to say all the right things but that there was nothing wrong with letting him know how I felt about him.
I have started greeting him with things like "handsome" when he comes home from work. Or "How's my hard-working man?" Sometimes, when I'm doing stuff around the apartment, I'll stick my head into the computer room with a random compliment or, "Hey!" "Yeah?" "I love you [[run away]]!" Sometimes I ignore tell him I can't hear him until he runs over to where I am and does the same. Or we'll holler across the apartment to each other like it's something really important (well, it is). "Hey, can you come here for a second? [[approaches]] I love you! That's all!"
He is seriously handsome, though. I look at celebs I used to find super hot and find the features that are like Boyfriend's. Or I think, "He's no Boyfriend."
Why am I falling in love with him again? The excitement of engagement, I suppose.
At some point, I made it a point to always refer to him as a man. I was still using boy, mentally and verbally, and it didn't seem right. I think that has made a difference in how I see him and how I see our relationship growing, too.
He's gotten more openly affectionate, verbally, over the past several months, but I've definitely seen it grow progressively throughout our relationship. Some of it might just be my perception, in how my mood has improved since going back on 5-HTP. Give and take.
I think he's an unlikely hero. Those are the best kind.
All of this is helped by my recently more elevated libido. He notices when I ogle him and it makes both of us laugh because I don't realize I'm doing it (and he does it to me all the time). I'm in a good head space now so that I can appreciate my body, knowing that he appreciates it. He doesn't see any flaw in my stomach or butt, so I don't stress over it.
Y'all really do sound like Geek and me. I mean that in the best way possible. It's not all lust, it's not all lovey dovey bullshit, it's a solid house of love built on a foundation of trust and a positive eye sunk deep in friendship. The lust, lovey dovey, and smiles are bricks in the house.
It's true.
And it sounds like you are off to a good start. :)
