Simple Hedonisms – Simple Suggestions For Thanksgiving Wine Pairings
It's the time of the year when people often agonize over what canadian pharmacy discount code viagra to buy and serve over the Holidays, especially Thanksgiving, which tends to be poultry (gobble gobble) focused.
While I won't go as elaborate as the article Jon Bonne', (one of my favorite wine writers) published last week in 'Three wine strategies for Thanksgiving dinner' , I will try to be creative and offer a mainstream and an adventurous suggestion.
Throughout the article I have created links, in the name of the varietal, to previous reviews.
The ADHD Version:
If you can't read for more than thirty seconds: go Bubbles and Pinot Noir. Essentially a white and a red, that pair with, and please, almost everyone.
Where To Shop:
Do not go to your local large grocery store and stare at the massive aisles of wine, that for the most part really offer very little differentiation, despite appearances. If you are wanting to expand your wine knowledge and palate, its time you form a relationship with a local wine shop, that brings in a variety of domestic and
imported wines. The latter both to expand your horizons (Try a French or Australian chardonnay in comparison to California) as well as good values.
Its Thanksgiving, do buy local or American and at least partially support our economy.
Budget – Match it to Your Drinkers…. – er I Mean Guests
I try and match the wine expenditure to the crowd and its levels of wine interest and experience. I will never forget the Thanksgiving a 'wine lover' poured half a bottle of Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot (pricey and hard to come by) into his glass and swilled it down, saying 'not too sweet' – arrgh.
This can be hard to gauge for large crowds or a dinner party where you don't know everyone. If its the family, and wine isn't their thing, bring some good value bottles, but perhaps hold on to those most special bottles. Or smuggle one in and stash it to pour with your best friend or partner who loves wine as much as you do. Let Uncle Jimmy go to town on that $12 Malbec, while you drink the Arnot Roberts allocation.
If its a dinner soiree in San Francisco with strangers, err on the other side, with at least 1-2 good bottles, to make a good impression.
(1) Wine To Start, Mingling and Apertifs
White: A good Sauvignon Blanc is something that will please most. (Except those burly types who puff out their chest, and proclaim "real wine drinkers only drink red." For them roll your eyes and pour them some Two Buck Chuck, and let them have at the Megapurple and wood chip derived concoction. (See the Jon Bonne' cheap wine article in bottom section.)
Good value Sauvignon Blanc, widely distributed by larger producers like Rodney Strong and Dry Creek Vineyards can be readily found in a pinch and have been previously reviewed and recommended. A little pricier ($22), but more unique and Sancerre style is one of my favorite California Sauv Blancs – from Inspiration Vineyards in Santa Rosa.
Pink – I also recommend a good dry rosé. I have written repeatedly to dismiss the myth that Rosé is strictly a summer wine. This 'pink' wine, derived from red grapes, pairs well with food, or standalone, all year round.
Red – Its always good to have a red on hand as well, a decent domestic Pinot Noir should please many. If you want to be really safe, some people always drink Cabernet, the king of reds, no matter what you are serving or recommending.
Bubbles are almost a universal pairing wine; from salty potato chips from desert. Nothing is as festive or widely received. If someone in your house won't drink bubbles, tell them Bah Humbug and hand them a Coors Light. Sparkling wine also can run the gamut of good value for $10, usually imported. For value sparkling, look for a good Cava from Spain. High quality Prosecco from Italy has emerged as a hot market this last year as well. There is a wide selection of $20-$60 mid priced Napa and Sonoma sparkling wineries, and then of course 'true' Champagne. Adjust your selection and budget based on the previous crowd suggestion.
Vinho Verde, Dry Gewurtzaminer, Gruner Veltliner, Grenache Blanc
(2) For the Main Course:
I actually like to allow guests, room permitting, to have 3 or 4 glasses at their setting. If a sparkling or a rosé was poured previously, its often fun to continue to pour these, and try them with food pairings. Let people sip and nibble and try a myriad of food and wine pairings.
White Wine:
Mainstream: Chardonnay is the Queen of California whites. Our classic California oaky, buttery Chardonnays
goes decently with Turkey, but a better match is a Chardonnay, that is leaner, less oaky/buttery, a trend many winemakers jumping on. One can even play with unoaked Chardonnay, although I'd suggest leaving a crisper wine like that for starters.
Adventurous: Go Rhone. Look for a Rhone white blend that contains 25%+Roussanne – a denser white varietal (sometimes referred to as a winter white.) This may also be blended with Marsanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. The Roussanne (and the Marsanne) provide some mouthfeel, weight and density that will pair well with food. Avoid overly floral Viognier dominant blends, or overly acid Grenache Blanc based if you aren't familiar with the wine.
Red Wine:
Some will argue Cabernet is a great Thanksgiving match – while it certainly does please the typical wine consumer, its generally better for roasted meats at Christmas, if turkey is your Thanksgiving meat, I'd recommend a Pinot Noir.
Pinot Noir varies widely by region and producer. For mass appeal, most Russian River or Central coast bigger Pinots are a hit. For those who like their Pinot leaner, and higher in acid, steer to Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast, or Oregon. (Please note this is a general rule of thumb – each region has a full range of styles.)
Following the path Pinot Noir and softer reds, try a Grenache. This Rhone red, when left to express itself, is a pretty, soft, red wine. Avoid dark color, over oaked, or a high blend of Syrah added. Grenache is naturally a lighted red. I have many favorites including Holly's Hill, David Girard, Bonny Doon, Philip Staley, Wind Gap, Tablas Creek, Mounts, Quivira, and more.
The most important thing – relax, have fun, and enjoy the moments with dear friends and family – these are after all also a part of 'simple hedonisms' – life is short and precious, enjoy it.

For a school project I've started up a blog on All Ages Comics. All Ages Comics are a bit of a misnomer - they're often interpreted as comic for kids, when in reality, they should be comics enjoyed by everyone.
On the site I have an interview I conducted earlier in the year with Joey Esposito on his All Ages series, "Captain Ultimate" as well as a recent interview with "Ben 10" creator and "Ultimate Spider-Man" writer Joe Kelly.
You can listen to a podcast I recorded with former Features Editor here at IGN, Phil Pirrello, who discusses with me the All Ages accessibility of Star Trek and how good storytelling is universal.
Be sure to check out series spotlights like the one on "Batman '66."
All Ages Comics are essential to the survival of the comics industry, be sure to give them a chance, because there's a lot of great, and particularly fun, All Ages storytelling out there.

Tales of the Abyss
Review by AssassinCaveman
"A good action RPG for anyone out to get some of this on the go until another game comes out"
I'll be Frank. this game has one of the best character growth I've ever seen in this medium. However it is also been out for far longer and was designed to be played on the ps2. check point saving and all. So really the only reason to have this game is if your an action RPG fan and are waiting for Kingdom hearts....unless that somehow ends up a stinker. Or you live in Europe where you never got an english version of this game. Otherwise I'd say go the the ps2 version.
Well first off going to the good points all of them are still from the ps2 version. Great story, decent acting except from Tear 40 percent of the time. Very different characters and movesets even if some share weapons. And a battle system only possible from refining it for so long to get the best it could with being as deep or simple as you wish. All is a nice long time taking package.
Now the bad which is mostly from this port.
First off I had to knock a point for the look of the game. here we have a system that is in theory better graphically than the ps2. but you can't tell it from this port/remake since they didn't bother to improve it. in fact it kinda looks worse to compensate for the slowdown in the framing. and it lags in places, not in gameplay which is surprising but in cut scenes, very weird. Lastly the 3DS' claim to fame the 3D sucks in this game. I must have played too much of the system if Lautrec which looked like it belonged on the N64 at times did a better job with 3D than this game.
All that comes to the foreground most times is the speech bubbles and menus. Needless to say unless the game is new to you and your willing to get used to it, which on top of everything you have to really be pinpoint in the sweetspot with this to not make it seem blurry in the Background, stick to turning it off. which also helps with the battery life considering how long some scenes can go before you get to save again.
Last issue is how they changed the battle system. Rather than map say the overlimit and other button Activated AD skills to the touch pad they instead use that for the customizing of your moves aside from the normal circle pad and button use. Not really too much of an issue but it screamed to have a pad pro option to play it like the ps2 game or to the D-pad which has the parts that should be there.
you don't know until you try how annoying it is to stop your normal fighting style to touch so you can use the lesser used powers like stat boosts or telling a character to heal as a shortcut when your trained like me to just flip quickly in these to use the d-pad for secondary things.
outside that a solid game. it only is never a perfect game in either version hence the fact it's a 7 here while the PS2 port is about and 8.5 or 9 depending on your fandom to this series.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Labor says public service jobs in the Department of Human Services could be sent to Asia if a privatisation of key departmental functions goes ahead.
Labor senator Doug Cameron says the government must come clean on how many jobs would go if the payment of Medicare pharmaceutical and veterans' benefits goes to the private sector.
Human Service Minister Marise Payne has dismissed as "alarmist exaggerations" union predictions that up to 20,000 jobs could go if the $29 billion of payment services were farmed out to private players.
But DHS bosses have admitted that they do not know how many of their public servants are engaged in delivering the payments, further complicating the job of estimating the impact of the move for DHS's 30,000 public servants.
Last week, the Health Department called on private players to express interest in taking over the payment of $29 billion each year in health and pharmaceutical benefits currently managed by the Department of Human Services.
After the news, there was speculation that Australia Post or one of the nation's big four banks might take over the payment systems.
But Senator Cameron, Labor's human services spokesman, warned on Wednesday that outsourcing to one of the big four might lead to DHS jobs being shipped offshore.
"If you look at the history of banks in this country, then it's clear that jobs will very quickly end up in India or the Philippines," he said.
Senator Cameron also took issue with Senator Payne's angry reaction to claims of 20,000 jobs on the chopping block, with the Labor frontbencher challenging the minister to provide details on the impact on public service employment.
"She must now come out and detail why she believes this is exaggerated, what in her estimation is the number of jobs that would be lost as a result of this privatisation," he said.
Senator Payne and Health Minister Peter Dutton have justified going to the market because of DHS's ageing IT infrastructure, which is in need of expensive upgrades, with the ministers arguing the private sector may be able to offer cheaper alternatives.
But Senator Cameron says all the available reports indicate that DHS runs efficiently and effectively and the move towards privatisation is ideological.
"All the reports I've seen from the Australian Public Service Commission show that the department is well run, efficient and effective," Senator Cameron said. "This approach from the Coalition is based on ideology, on the belief there is no role, or very little role for government."
Senator Payne's office did not to requests for comment on Wednesday.
DHS was asked by Senator Cameron this year how many of its public servants were engaged in delivering Medicare and pharmaceutical benefits but the department said it did not know and had no intention of carrying out the research.
"Since integration in July 2011, data in relation to the previous master programs is no longer maintained and to disaggregate and respond specifically in relation to employees involved in the delivery of these payments would be an unreasonable diversion of resources," the department wrote in its official response.

Different Types of Butterflies
Different Types of Butterflies
I don't know more all about butterfly.. but I read on article said that When people talk about different types of butterflies, often they are referring to the different butterfly families and subfamilies, whose names reflect shared physical characteristics of member species. For example, the Pieridae family of whites and sulfurs refers to the fact that species have predominantly white or yellow/orange wings.
This brief article outlines the six different families common in the United States.

Interest Rates, Stock Returns and Credit Spreads: Evidence from German Eurobonds
We investigate daily variations in credit spreads on investment-grade Deutschemark-denominated Eurobonds during the challenging 1994-1998 period. Empirical results from a Longstaff and Schwartz (1995) two-factor regression, extended for correlated spread changes and heteroskedasticity, indicate strong persistence in spread changes. Consistent with theory and previous findings, changes in spreads are significantly negatively related to the term-structure level while, contrary to theory, the proxy for asset value does not yield a significant negative contribution. We even find a significant positive relation for Eurobonds with long maturity. Tentative interpretations are portfolio-rebalancing activities or differing risk factor sensitivities on short- vs. long-maturity bonds. Copyright Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA, 2005

The Merry Gentleman
Runtime 93 minutes
Not For Children
What happened to Michael Keaton? He is an attractive actor with terrific comedic timing. So what happened? He is rarely seen, and when he is, he chooses material like this that squanders his talent.
Here he directs a disappointing script by Ron Lazzeretti in a movie that has one of the slowest first hours I've ever had the misfortune to sit through and an ending that isn't.
Frank Logan (Keaton) is a cold-blooded hit man. Kate Frazier (Kelly Macdonald) is an unfortunate Irish lass who married an abusive husband, runs away, and then is pursued by an interested cop, Dave Murcheson (Tom Bastounes) and Frank, not to mention her psycho husband. What a life!
The first hour is unbelievably slow. I walked into the movie predisposed to like it and feeling great. After about 30 minutes, I was fighting torpor. This thing is a great antidote for insomnia. Then, for about 15 minutes, the interest picks up. But when it ends, it doesn't, which leads one to the conclusion that sitting through this is a complete and total waste of time.
Wasted are very good performances by Macdonald and Bastounes. Keaton displays constant, cold emotionless. We learn nothing about Frank. We don't know why he's killing people or how he came to be an assassin or what he thinks about it. We don't know how he got to where he is. We don't know why he finds himself attracted to Kate. We know and learn nothing about him.
We also don't know why Kate is such a victim, or why she chooses such losers. In short, this is a shallow film that presents characters with no rhyme, reason, or explanation for who they are. In the end the only thing one learns from the movie is that it has wasted 93 perfectly good minutes.

Last year, U.S. operators expressed their intentions to step up drilling programs in the Eagle Ford Shale formation. Strong oil prices and favorable well economics, due to greater concentrations of natural gas liquids, made drilling in this part of Texas appealing. True to their word, the rig count in the Eagle Ford has nearly doubled to 154 rigs, versus 82 reported in March 2010. Recent commentary by operators suggests the growth will continue in 2011.
Of the seventeen counties that cover the Eagle Ford, two-thirds of the drilling is currently undertaken in the five counties. Counties with the most active rigs are: Dimmit (24 rigs), Webb (23 rigs), Karnes (22 rigs), La Salle (18 rigs) and McMullen (17 rigs). Reservoirs in both Karnes and McMullen counties have typically been characterized as oilier than the others in the top-five. Other counties in the Eagle Ford known for their oil production are Atascosa, Dewitt, Gonzales, Live Oak, and Wilson. Counties known more for their natural gas and NGL production are Frio, Duval, Bee, Bexar, Zavala, Maverick, and Zapata.
EOG is the largest oil producer in the Eagle Ford at 23MM bopd and currently controls 595,000 net acres across the region. After drilling 96 net wells in 2010, EOG has plans for 250 net wells in 2011. Chesapeake Energy currently has the most active rigs in the region at 17 rigs where it holds 445,000 net acres through a partnership with CNOOC. In terms of concentration of resources, ConocoPhillips, with 14 rigs drilling across 254,000 acres held, has approximately half of its currently active U.S. rig fleet operating in the region.
The five largest drilling fleets in the Eagle Ford control 68% of the market and are all owned by publicly-traded firms. Helmerich & Payne tops the list with 38 active rigs followed by Nabors Industries (24), Patterson-UTI (17), Precision Drilling (14), and Pioneer Drilling (11).
The mixed shift occurring between drilling for natural gas or oil continues to move away from the natural gas. A year ago, the split was 91% gas and 9% oil rigs in the Eagle Ford. Today, the mix is 60% gas and 40% oil.
Chesapeake's CEO Aubrey McClendon spoke on the transition during the 4Q10 conference call: "I'd like to remind you that Chesapeake, along with virtually every other natural gas producer both big and small, in both public and private, is responding to the huge return on investment gap that exists between drilling oil wells today versus drilling natural gas wells and we are responding by transitioning our drilling programs as rapidly as we can from gas to oil. To remind you the obvious, we can drill a natural gas well and receive around $4 per unit of production or we can drill an oil well and receive around $15 per unit of production."
EOG Resources commented that the Eagle Ford would be the firm's largest component of year over year oil growth during 2011. EOG also noted that its well costs in the region were anticipated to fall from current levels of $6 million per well to approximately $5 million in 2012 due to frac optimization techniques.
When discussing drilling in the lower 48 states, ConocoPhillips highlighted the Eagle Ford as an area of emphasis for the firm's resources in 2011. Specifically, Jeffery Sheets, the company's CFO, responded to a question on their recent 4Q10 conference call regarding organic growth by saying, "We have very aggressive development programs going on in the Eagle Ford in particular…We'll look to drill probably 140 to 150 wells in the Eagle Ford this year."
These comments along with recent activity all point to a banner year for the region in terms of both wells drilled and production during 2011.

Jeff | Apr. 4, 2012I have followed have land in the Bakken Formation. I know the Bakken very, very well. Now I curious about the Eagle Ford. I think the Eagle Ford fm. will be as good or better than the Bakken. Its very exciting.
Md. Maqbul-E-Elahi | Mar. 20, 2011By optimal exploration and development of shale gas/oil in North America, USA can greatly reduce its dependency on Middle east hydrocarbon. This will also reduce global tension i.e the people of this globe especially the people of USA would live more peacefully which no gun power could ensure yet.
Caleb | Mar. 20, 2011Good article, now we need to get some more holes sunk down there, because the government is about to pull Nuclear Energy, and according to BO, Natural gas is a "renewable" resource. Lets drill drill drill.
Michael Griffith | Mar. 19, 2011I'm loving this, I live in Pleasanton, and love seeing the oil boom coming back to this part of the world!
kenc | Mar. 18, 2011good summary info and map.
KellyB | Mar. 17, 2011My husband and his brother own a couple hundred acres in DeWitt county over Eagle Ford and either ConocoPhillips or Petrohawk (I can't remember which) has had the lease on the minerals for several years now but have done nothing other than thumping the property. It's interesting because all of a sudden just in the last couple of months two pipeline companies are getting ready to break ground on our property and our land was staked two weeks ago for two wells to go up soon. How exciting!
Josh Bullard | Mar. 17, 2011As a service line operator I am happy to see more of an opportunity for work. This not only benefits the oil and gas industry but boosts the economy of the area we are working. Hopefully this with this wide spread of reserves we can become more dependent on ourselves than other OPEC countries
Stanley L. Perkins | Mar. 17, 2011Good article.. would like more specific coverage of the Eagle Ford play.
Anitha | Mar. 16, 2011Yes of course! Eagle Ford development is ramping up in the recent days. Also, Eagle Ford Shale generated around $3 Billion in revenue in South Texas during 2010. A busy year expected for Eagle Ford Shale with $4.0 Billion worth opportunities up for grab!!!

Although that was an unfortunate situation it boiled down to 2 people having a different view of what was acceptable condition at a given price. There was no deliberate attempt to defraud anyone and not ship the goods. The case that prompted this thread is quite different. Unless there comes some sort of resolution, what we have had is a case of a sale which was followed by the seller dropping out of sight and no rod & reel being proffered.
For the time being we will go with the 100 post rule and I suspect that it will do it's job. I've read all the comments to this thread and everyone seems to be on the same page which is a good thing. If or when I learn of the matter being settled I'll come back to this sticky and post to that effect.
One last note; I know we have a lot of members who post links. These links lead to videos, web pages, and etc. When you see a new member make a first post which contains a link, be very careful. I clicked on a link that was supposed to direct me to a photo bucket account to view salmon flies that the poster wanted a "value" for on another forum several years ago. That link had flies but they were worth only as much as the hooks they were tied on. The fake Photo Bucket site Hijacked my computer and I ended up having to order and install a new hard drive in order to eradicate the virus!
Use prudence before you click links submitted by a first post member. If you ever take a re-direct that seems hinky, report the thread or post right away.
Thanks to all who help make this a great place to spend spring runoff time

I have a 19-year-old daughter who is very difficult to deal with. She had been sexually abused for four years. I dealt with that situation immediately when I found out, and the man who did it is serving 30 years. Since the disclosure, I have gotten her the best care and help I could manage as a new single parent. She continued in counseling until she aged out of my influence almost two years ago. At first, the doctors were treating her for PTSD but now for bipolar. I most recently have gotten a restraining order against her and her boyfriend. I feel helpless and hurt that I have no way to help her without her lashing out at us, usually her younger siblings. What is a parent to do except pray and let her live with her consequences? Please help me know if I am alone and if there is something I can do differently. She is not medicated and uses drugs when they are available.
This sounds like a very difficult situation and unfortunately, until your daughter develops some insight that medication and therapy are critical for her to get better, the situation is unlikely to improve.
Would she be amenable to family therapy? It seems like repairing the relationship between the two of you (and perhaps with the younger siblings as well) would be important for regaining some influence over her decisions. The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy has an online therapist locator that may be helpful for finding a family therapist in your area, and for other resources.
Abstaining from substances is also critical to her successful recovery. Obviously, it has to be your daughter's decision to stop using drugs, but as a parent you can help her recover by being a positive influence in her life.

New London Maritime Society Presents: Scenes From Neptune Park, 9/28
New London Maritime Society Hosts a Weekend of Special Events Reception - Painter Ruth Sussler: Scenes from Neptune Park Donation-only Day at Pequot Light & Connecticut Freedom Trail Open House with historian Sally Ryan.
The New London Maritime Society - Custom House Maritime Museum presents a weekend of special events on September 28 & 29, 2013:
~ A Reception for artist Ruth Sussler and her exhibition Scenes from Neptune Park takes place on Saturday, September 28, from 4 to 6 PM at the Custom House Maritime Museum, 150 Bank Street, New London, CT. A long-time New London resident, Ruth Sussler's luminous oil paintings of local maritime scenes remains on view at the Custom House only through September 29, 2013. The event is free and open to the public. (See Ruth's artist statement, below.)
[Donation-only day at the lighthouse.] ~ Sunday, September 29 is the much-anticipated 2nd free (donation-only) day to tour Pequot (New London Harbor) Lighthouse. Although there is no charge, reservations must be made in advance by calling 860-447-2501. Only six people are permitted up the 119 steps to the lighthouse lantern at one time, due to limited space within 212-year-old historic structure. Children age seven and above must be able to climb on their own (not carried) to take part.
A proclamation, issued by Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, designated Summer 2013 as the Summer of New London Harbor Light. The proclamation also launched NLMS's initiative: Be Part of Something BIG, a fundraising campaign to restore Harbor Light (also known as Pequot Light). Although the September 29 event marks the end of the Summer of New London Harbor Light, the campaign to Be Part of Something BIG continues into the fall, as we seek to raise sufficient funds to restore the lighthouse.
~ September is Connecticut Freedom Trail Month. New London Maritime Society celebrates the occasion with an Open House on Sunday, September 29, at the Custom House Maritime Museum. In addition to free admission for the day, the museum will play the PBS video series The Abolitionists throughout the afternoon. At 4pm, New London City historian Sally Ryan will speak at the Museum about New London's involvement in the slave trade. The Custom House Maritime Museum has the only permanent exhibition in the country devoted to the Amistad story. Admission is free and open to the public on Sunday to the museum and to Sally Ryan's talk .
It is the mission of the New London Maritime Society to protect and preserve New London's maritime heritage. And so we do. We are committed to telling the stories of New London's waterfront and to preserving our important heritage sites for future generations.
Fifty years living in New London, on the shores of the Thames River looking up river & out to sea from my house,
I embrace the stories and vistas of this my chosen locale.
This group of paintings, done over the past five decades express some of my responses to the fascination of life in this city and its history, especially centered around its connection to the sea.
My art background began as a small child in my father's commercial art
studio, then to studies with Josef Albers, and as studio art major at
Bennington College, later, freelancing department store window display
production, portraiture and landscape commissions.
Since living in New London, I have taught art workshops with the Eugene
O'Neill Creative Arts Program in local schools, been a docent at Lyman
Allyn Art Museum for 20 years and 50 years' active artist member, exhibitor
and many times prize winner at the Mystic Art Center.
-- Ruth Sussler, 9/2/13

Welcome to Tenant Screening Now!
Landlords Get Your Forms Here
Information For Landlords
In business since 1991 and incorporated in the state of Florida since 1993, we owned and operated a credit reporting agency servicing apartment complexes, property management companies, condo associations, realtors, mobile home parks, and landlords, encompassing over 7,000 customers. After selling that entity in 2007, We enjoyed one year of "retirement" and ended up restless with the urge to jump back in. Here we go again with TENANT SCREENING NOW focusing on working with landlords, realtors and property managers to help them procure qualified tenants. There is nothing to join and no membership fee and no cost to you since the tenant pays for this service.
Each time an application is processed, we simply charge either your or the prospective tenants credit card. We will discuss the entire screening results in details over the phone and follow up with a faxed or e-mailed invoice and a written summary with of the data we located. This process could take around two hours to allow the time needed to access possible multiple county courthouse records.We do not make the decision for you to rent to an applicant, however, we will provide you with all the information that you might need to make your own educated decision and will guide you to reach that final choice comfortably.
Federal law states that landlords who are not a "business" based on their rules and regulations may not receive the actual credit report in hand, however, we provide a summary that meets the Credit Bureau's criteria along with the criminal and eviction records which you will receive via fax or e-mail together with your receipt for paid fees for your records.
This is a personal one-on-one service. You can contact us any time during business hours. We will be happy to discuss any questions you may have concerning renting your property. I myself have nearly 30 years experience in the residential and commercial rental business.
Please keep in mind: Before you hand over the key, "KNOW WHO THEY ARE".

I had been reading about the new Husqvarna Designer series and one day received an e-mail asking me to review the Designer Diamond Royale sewing and embroidery machine.
The timing was perfect. Just a few days later, I had a great time playing with several of the new sewing machines from Husqvrna/Viking.
At A Glance
The Designer Diamond Royal has a sleek blue and white motif, and comes equipped with a stylus on the right side, a full color touch screen, and a full complement of function buttons that control the presser foot up/down, needle up/down, stop, fix, start/stop, tie off, thread snip, reverse stitch, and speed.
The detachable embroidery unit exposes the free arm and makes room the accessories tray which can be attached behind the free arm.
The top of the line Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale has so many standard features it's difficult to see how anyone would actually use all of them.
- Sensor system
- Sewing and embroidery advisors
- Full color touch screen 8" wide
- 1250 built in decorative, utility, quilting, monogram and embroidery stitches
- 233 embroidery designs
- 4 multi-sized embroidery fonts
- High embroidery speed
- Oversized embroidery unit
- Changeable embroidery screen appearance
- On screen appliqué creation
- Design shaping and positioning
- Resize design/stitch recalculation
- Thread cutter with automatic jump stitch feature
- Extra large sewing surface – nearly 10" right side of the needle
- Adjustable e-light system [change light brightness and color]
- USB connectivity
- Downloadable updates
Working on the Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale
Most sewing machines beep when you turn them on or simply don't make a sound. The Husqvrna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale, however, plays a whimsical tune when the switch is turned to the on position.
Winding the bobbin and threading the Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale is the easiest thing about operating this machine. In my opinion, the stitch selection process is far too complicated for most beginners.
The first thing you must do is touch the stitch menu button on the touch screen. A series of different stitch options opens for you to choose from utility stitches, decorative stitches, embroidery stitches or quilting stitches.
Once the menu opens up, touch the stitch option you want and then touch the button to lower the presser foot and press the start/stop button.
The stop button is a great feature for ending a series of design stitches at the starting point, making it possible for you to complete a series of design stitches neatly.
For this review, although the Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale is a sewing and embroidery machine, I decided to test several different utility and decorative stitch options.
I was very impressed with the quality of the stitches made on the Designer Diamond Royale. The utility stitches are clean and well formed and the decorative stitches have great definition.
Although I didn't personally sample any of the embroidery options, Janet, the Husqvarna/Viking embroidery guru at Ace Sewing and Vacuum eagerly showed me the mask she made on the Designer Diamond Royale and a special embroidery project she did for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Both jobs were exquisite in detail and workmanship.
The clear bobbin cover is a plus, but with the on board sensor to tell you when it's time to add thread, this feature isn't really necessary.
I noticed that with all its features, there isn't a drop feed. That's because the feed dogs automatically drop down when you select a darning stitch or another stitch that does not require the feed dogs to be in the raised position.
The feature I like most of all is the fact that it is not necessary to remove the embroidery arm in order to sew.
This gives you an extra large workspace which comes in handy when working on those large sewing projects, like dresses, jackets, pants and coats.
When it's time to use the free arm the embroidery unit slides off easily by pushing the lever on the underside and sliding it off the machine. It goes back on just as easily when you're ready to get back to work on larger pieces.
- Natural fibers/cotton-linen-wool
- Fine fabrics/silk-satin-taffeta/velvet

- Synthetic fabrics/blends-rayon-polyester
- Upholstery
- Leather/suede

Tying Off The Loose Ends
The Husqvarana/Viking Designer Diamond Royale is an interesting sewing and embroidery machine. This is the first machine I've ever seen with an appliqué program that allows you to sew on pieces of fabric, creating your own appliqués with ease.
It is also one of the few sewing and embroidery machines on the market that allows you to perform regular sewing tasks with the embroidery unit in place.
I also like the fact that the e-lights can be adjusted not only for brightness, but also to change color, depending upon your particular needs and whim.
This is definitely not a machine for beginners. I am tempted to add that it should not be used by people with intermediate sewing skills – those who can follow a pattern, sew basic patterns and are exploring machine embroidery.
A sewing and embroidery machine like the Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale is far too complicated for someone who has limited sewing skills.
I believe if you are going to spend the monetary equivalent of a good used car on a sewing machine, you should be able to use it extensively in order to get your money's worth.
If, on the other hand, you are already adept at machine embroidery and want to step up to a top of the line sewing and embroidery machine with computer capability and upgradable software, then Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond Royale is definitely worth a close look.
This is a perfect choice for the machine embroidery expert who is in the market for a fully computerized sewing and embroidery machine.
- Beginner
- Needs lots of help – able to sew a straight seam but unfamiliar with most sewing techniques; needs assistance and instruction on basic sewing techniques.
- Intermediate
- Competent – can make different clothing items without assistance or guidance, but not good enough to sew intricate projects or to sew without a pattern.
- Expert
- Expert – can sew anything without instruction or assistance; possesses an expansive knowledge of sewing techniques and terminology.
- Sew with embroidery arm in place
- Ability to create any embroidery font from your computer
- Sensor alerts you when straight stitch plate is in place
- No drop feed

ARTY Dudley schoolchildren are being invited to enter a competition which could see their drawings on the side of a bus and seen by thousands of people around the borough.
National Express West Midlands has launched the contest asking children to submit pictures of their dream school trip.
The drawings could be inspired on real-life places or total imagination.
The winning Dudley entry will then appear on buses in the area to promote the launch of the 'Class Pass' which gives a class of 30 children and six adults a full day of travel across the region for just £1.25 each.
With no restrictions on the times they can travel, the new pass can be used on any route across the West Midlands and gives schools a cheaper way of organising trips out.
Peter Coates, Managing Director of National Express West Midlands said: "We want an advert that captures the excitement children feel ahead of a school trip. We are asking children from across the West Midlands to paint a picture of their dream field trip, the more imaginative and colourful the adverts are the better."
Entries to the competition must be landscape designs on A4 paper and need to be sent to National Express West Midlands' Art Competition, National Express House, Mill Lane, Birmingham, B5 6DD. The competition will be judged by a group of mayors and each town's winning entry will get three 'Class Pass' tickets for their school and a family ticket to a local attraction.

NEW YORK CITY— Celebs arrived at The Heart Truth 2013 Fashion Show at Hammerstein Ballroom on Wednesday (Feb. 6) to draw awareness to heart disease and help kick off New York Fashion Week. Gabby Douglas, Toni Braxton, Kelly Osbourne and others were among the women sporting The Red Dress Collection, a tradition of the annual event.
"I feel like a doll in my dress," Douglas told reporters. The 17-year-old Olympic gold medalist walked the runway later in the night in support of healthy hearts everywhere.
"I am participating because of the heart health cause. […] I want young girls to think about it. I want to get the message out," she said. "My advice to them is to stay active, eat healthy."

The NSA can listen to your calls without a warrant
0. phoneArena posted on 16 Jun 2013, 20:09
Before Congress could make comments against the NSA, the agency told lawmakers in a secret meeting that interpretation of federal surveillance law allows the NSA to listen to domestic and international callsl; we're not just talking about metadata here, but both sides of a full conversation. This most likely includes your texts and emails...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

This has gotten out of hand. The NSA shouldnt have this kind of power. This is nuts. I really hope next term we can get some real leadership in the White House; Republican, Democrat, or indifferent.

Dear Mr O-BamBam:
I hope you aren't monitoring what I write herein but if you are, please know, I could give a ratz @ss. Furthermore, I really wish you would do something about those elephant ears. It's very embarrassing when asked by every foreigner I meet if I've ever flown on Obama Air; I always have to respond by explaining that the ears, unfortunately, also need jet propulsion to cross the Atlantic. Anyway, thank you for Nationwide Health Coverage and all the other federally funded social programs that you continue to impose on the U.S. taxpayer. And, by the way, loved you in Independence Day!!

Because socialized health care is the biggest travesty.
The US is basically the only civilized country without it. Hell, the American taxpayer funds government healthcare in Iraq, but not in its own country!
It's no wonder that the US has the least efficient medical system in the world. All that government intervention and whatnot.

Because socialized medicine sucks. Experience both then you will see. Least efficient? Anytime the government gets involved in anything is when it becomes inefficient. It's still the best, but going down hill fast.
17. Dorothy69 (banned) (Posts: 498; Member since: 21 May 2013)
Just look at every other U.S. public agency or office (Federal or State) that are ALL swimming in inefficiency:
1. Social Security Administration / Medicare - TRAGIC
2. U.S. Postal Service - PATHETIC
3. U.S. Passport Office - ABYSMAL (unless you come across someone who knows what they are doing)
4. Department of Motor Vehicles (State) - I'm sure there are DMV's with competent employees somewhere but in New York DMV workers are just as bad as postal workers.
Just to name a few!! Health Care (Social or otherwise, under Federal guidance) will be what tips this country into mediocrity.
Bottom line: if you're dealing with civil employees (Federal or State or City), you may as speak the universal Section 8 language.

We spend a lot of our money on healthcare, despite being among the most wealthy nations.

Yet we're number 33 in life expectancy.
Go figure. Countries who have less money and spend a smaller percentage of it on healthcare actually have better healthcare systems. They probably have free market systems, except for, I don't know, basically all of them.

Story debunked by ZDNet (no link, since I am new, but search under new headline "Congressman denies report claiming NSA can listen to calls without warrants"):
Update at 2:50 p.m. ET on June 16: We're pulling the plug on this story, following Rep. Nadler's comments that debunk CNET's story. In a statement to our sister site, Nadler said: "I am pleased that the administration has reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content of Americans' phone calls without a specific warrant." We've left the amended article (post the previous update, below) in tact for transparency, but corrected the headline.

"the administration has reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content of Americans' phone calls without a specific warrant."
This is a distinction without a difference. The warrant part is just the fig leaf that makes everything legal. How do you think the phone calls are listened to the moment a judge has signed the warrant?

they can do anything to you without warrant.

Oh wow, the government denies doing it. Well that makes me feel better. Because the government doesn't lie. (extreme sarcasm)

Go Back to Bed!
According to an AP story appearing in major newspapers including the Washington Post and the Worcester, Massachusetts Telegram increasing the number of hours you sleep may also increase your grade point average. Colleges and universities are paying attention to such wisdom. At Brown University a campus-wide program publicizes the importance of a good night's rest and the University of Louisville is offering Flash Nap Workshops to "lock in learning while you easily and efficiently restore vitality." A search on the library database Academic Search Complete revealed several studies of college student sleeping patterns bolstering the notion that sleep and academic success go hand in hand. The author of the AP article, Justin Pope, cites an example at Massachusetts's Deerfield Academy which moved class starting times from 7:55 am to 8:30 am among other measures and reported a record rise in GPAs.
But if early wake-up calls are unavoidable for you Lifehacker offers these tips to get you going:
- Heat your room: either with an automatic thermostat or a space heater on an outlet timer.
- Stretch: while still in bed take a few deep breaths and think about the day to come.
- Set up a great music alarm.
See you in the morning!

A woman has died after she fell from a car and was run over by a trailer in Muchea.
The 61-year-old woman was a passenger in a Toyota Hilux utility travelling south on the Great Northern Highway about five kilometres north of the Pearce Airbase about 3.15am on Saturday.
The utility was towing a trailer which was loaded with a large boat and as the driver slowed down to find a place to pull over the women fell from the utility.
She was run over by trailer and fatally injured.
Police would like to speak to anyone who was travelling in the area at the time of the incident, particularly the driver of a semi trailer truck who was travelling behind them.

TRUDEF™ uses its own file extensions .FVF (Fractal Video File) and .FIF (Fractal Intra Frame). TRUDEF™ video can be compressed entirely as Intra Frames (for production editing) or as Inter Frames (for reducing file size used in distribution).
The term Intra Frame coding refers to compression techniques performed relative to image content only within the current frame, and not relative to any other frame in the video sequence. In other words, no temporal processing is performed outside of the current picture or frame. Intra frames are preferred for digital archiving since any storage media corruption will effect individual frames rather than an entire group of pictures (GOP) as is the case with Inter Frame compression. Intra Frame compression is also used in post production editing since video sequences can be split between any two frames.
There are two types of pictures (or frames) TRUDEF™ uses in video compression: I-frames and P-frames.
An I-frame is an 'Intra-coded picture', in effect a fully specified picture, like a conventional static image file. P-frames and B-frames hold only part of the image information, so they need less space to store than an I-frame, and thus improve video compression rates.
A P-frame ('Predicted picture') holds only the changes in the image from the previous frame. For example, in a scene where a car moves across a stationary background, only the car's movements need to be encoded. The encoder does not need to store the unchanging background pixels in the P-frame, thus saving space. P-frames are also known as delta-frames.

Cyber Scammers Rush to Capitalize on Bin Laden's Death
Have you received emails or seen Facebook links that promise video footage of Osama bin Laden's death, photos of the body, or any other bin Laden-related tidbits? Chances are, the messages are spam and, unless you're looking to infect your PC with a virus, it's best to delete.
Sophos analyst Grahahm Cluley said in a blog post that a Facebook link claiming to contain a video of bin Laden's death has been spreading virally on the social-networking site.
The messages post to a user's wall; clicking on the link takes you to a page where you're urged to share the link with your Facebook friends before watching the "shocking" footage. But sharing that link just spreads it virally across Facebook and instead of the video, you get a survey. The scammers get paid for every survey you fill out and all you get is spam on your wall.
For those wondering about footage, the White House is still debating whether or not to release a photo of bin Laden's body, let alone video footage. During the operation, those in the Situation Room, including President Obama, "were able to monitor in a real-time basis the progress of the operation," John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, said during a Monday press briefing.
When asked what type of monitoring that entailed, Brennan said "I'm not going to go into details about what type of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there." (Update: A photo of the national security team receiving an update on the bin Laden mission has been posted on the White House Flickr stream.)
Cluley's colleague Paul Ducklin, meanwhile, also with Sophos, warned users in a separate blog post that "many of the links you see will be perfectly legitimate links. But at least some are almost certain to be dodgy links, deliberately distributed to trick you into hostile internet territory."
"If in doubt, leave it out!" Ducklin warned.
Ducklin also pointed to a trick known as "Black-Hat Search Engine Optimization," which can fool search engines algorithms into thinking that malicious links are legit, and trick you into clicking on them.
"Well-known topics that have been widely written about for years are hard to poison via BH-SEO," Ducklin said. "But a search term which is incredibly popular but by its very nature brand new'Japanese tsunami', 'William and Kate engagement', 'Kate Middleton wedding dress' or, of course, 'Osama bin Laden dead'doesn't give the search engines much historical evidence to go on."
He suggested that users examine the URLs and subject matters; if they don't link up or look fishy, "give it a miss," Ducklin said. Security products (like those provided by Sophos, of course) can also provide some Web filtering, he said.
Security firm Imperva had a similar warning. "Hackers love a big, breaking story. We've seen this with Michael Jackson's death and today we see it with Bin Laden's death," the company said.
The SANS Internet Storm Center, meanwhile, also posted a malware warning. "We don't have any examples yet. But with any large news event like this, we expect a flurry of e-mails, and likely black hat search engine operations trying to take advantage of the event to distribute malware," the group wrote.

Kieren Jack has overcome a rugby league pedigree to become one of Sydney's most dependable players but he can't stop his old man, former Balmain great Garry, from telling him to introduce the ''chip and chase'' into the AFL.
The midfielder, who lines up for his 100th match tomorrow night, joked yesterday that while his knowledge of the game had grown, his father still had some learning to do. ''I'd like to say yes but I still don't think it has,'' the younger Jack said yesterday. ''He still tries to get me to chip over the top of players. That's where his knowledge of the game has got to.''
The father, however, counters by urging his son to ''think outside the circle''. ''He used to chip and chase with me as a little fella and regather. I've been telling him to [do it] for seven years, and he still hasn't bloody done it. I want to see people change the game.''
Jack, 24, is still several years away from emulating the 244 games his father played for Balmain but Garry says, ''that'd be lovely if he did'' although bragging rights for most first-grade matches would still lie with the father.
''I played another 90 in England,'' Garry says. ''If you want to get fair dinkum, he'd have to get about 330. I've always got a comeback.''
But as a best and fairest winner and now 100-gamer, Jack has forged his own reputation.
''I think it's enormous to have a local product come through and being able to play 100 games, win a B&F for an AFL club and to do that with not an elite AFL background at a junior level is a real credit to Kieren Jack,'' Swans coach John Longmire says.
First, Jack's game had to undergo a major overhaul after being picked up in the rookie draft in 2005. Having grown up outside the game's heartland, Jack, whose 18-year-old brother Brandon has played two games in Sydney's reserves this year, acknowledges he ''missed a lot of the fundamentals of the game of AFL as a young kid'' such as kicking and reading the play.
There were also doubts among the club's coaching staff whether Jack would graduate to the senior list.
''Everyone thought he was too small to play AFL football and not good enough,'' Longmire says.
''The most important person was Kieren Jack and that's all that really mattered.''
Jack says he must have had ''thousands'' of kicks with former Sydney assistant coach and two-time premiership player Brett Allison, now an assistant at North Melbourne.
For half an hour before and after each training session, Jack would work on a new technique - which included a change of grip towards the front and middle of the ball and a lower ball drop - aimed at making him a more consistent kick.
Allison figures Jack must have spent an extra 200 hours a season on the skill compared to his teammates. ''We'd identified early with Kieren the one thing that would hold him back would be his disposal,'' Allison says.
''To his credit he accepted that. Some players put their head in the sand and don't accept they have any problems at all. He knew he had to improve so he was more than happy to do all the work.''
Longmire says the Swans knew in 2008 they had a player worth persevering with when Jack successfully tagged some of the game's best midfielders. ''We thought that's such an effective role for us, and he was able to do that week in week out - that's an important aspect of what we wanted out of an AFL midfielder,'' Longmire says.
Jack said the role was important in his education. ''I was still learning the game, and by being able to follow the young midfielders around, I could get a sense of the game and the way it was played and patterns that players were running,'' he says. ''It's taken a while for me to get to but it's come down to hard work.''
Jack became a quality midfielder in his own right in 2010 when he was voted Sydney's club champion after improving the attacking elements of his game.
''It was certainly a shock to get there and win a best and fairest,'' he says. ''It came off the back of a lot of years of hard work. It probably gave me a real sense of belief that I could play good footy and play against the best. I know to get to those levels I've got to work hard and stay on top of my game.''
The Swans' next goal for Jack, coming off three hot games, is for him to improve his consistency.
''When his intensity is up … he's able to win the contested ball and run both ways,'' Longmire says. ''The exciting thing from our club's point of view is we know he's going to keep getting better because of the type of kid that he is.''

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
My ex-husband has asked for a continuance on a child support hearing to obtain legal counsel for a child support case. He is forcing the kids to ask for money as a method of controlling what money I have to support the children. My 14 year-old daughter wants to write a letter to the judge and explain what he is doing. Will the judge even look at this letter? Will the judge take into account any money he has been sending via MoneyGram in his favor? Also, just yesterday, he told my daughter, "Is your mom going to be using any of the money I send you?" He wanted the kids to take pictures of their receipts and send them in picture messages to show for what they used the money he sent them through MoneyGram. He only pays me $252 a month in child support plus a little extra for arrears. The Kansas Child Support Services is wanting to modify his child support to $1,029 a month based off both of our incomes. Isn't there anything that can be legally done to prevent this kind of manipulation and controlling behavior? He is self-employed, lives in a nice home with his girlfriend, and drives a nice truck, all of which are in other people's names. He also hasn't filed taxes for two years.
He is sending MoneyGram payments to control how money is spent. He tells the kids, "If you need money, just call me." So, the kids call and ask for money for various things. If they want shoes or something extra, they'll call their dad for money, but if it is for a household expense or an expense I need help with to support the kids that he foresees benefits me in some way, shape, or form, he will deny the money. Just so you know, I was in an abusive marriage, and I finally got out of it after sixteen years. This is his way of controlling me. Isn't there any legal way I can prove that what he is doing is just furthering the abuse after divorce?
I have a copy of an old PFA to prove that he was abusive, and he also got arrested for breaking that PFA. If the lawyer handling the case for the State of Kansas has this, will they use that as proof that his sending money via MoneyGram and using the kids to manipulate funds is part of the abuse?

Did Reese Witherspoon Diss Justin Bieber? [VIDEO]
The1996 movie 'Fear' was one of the first big roles for A-listers Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg. In the thriller, Witherspoon's character and her family are violently harassed by her ex-boyfriend played Wahlberg (or Marky Marky, as everybody called him back then). At the time, a major appeal of the movie to young female fans was Wahlberg's chiseled physique and very scary face.
Which is why Witherspoon was so shocked when she heard from MTV News that Justin Bieber may be planning to remake 'Fear."
Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog
"Is he playing me? Is he playing Mark Wahlberg?" Witherspoon asked, wondering the same thing that anybody who's seen 'Fear' and Justin Bieber was probably wondering.
Then she realized she had just insulted the great Biebs and started backtracking, talking about how talented the pint-sized pop star is, and how his documentary 'Never Say Never' was "worthwhile."
So hopefully that will prevent Bieber's legion of loyal fans from going all "Fear' on poor Reese.

Lewis Hamilton Apologizes for Implying F1 Stewards are Racist
Formula One Driver Lewis Hamilton, who finished sixth in the chaotic Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday has apologized to the FIA Stewards for his controversial remarks. After being punished three times in two days, Lewis criticized the stewards in a BBC interview. He also made a reference to Ali G, the comedy character created by Sascha Baron Cohen. Lewis said the way he had been treated this season was "an absolute frickin' joke" and described his treatment as "stupid". Asked why that was the case, Hamilton said: "Maybe it's because I'm black! That's what (British comic character) Ali G says."
During the early part of the race, Hamilton was given a 'drive-through' penalty for a brush with Brazilian Felipe Massa of Ferrari. He was then called in again by the stewards after a late clash with Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado of Williams, as he passed him at the tail end of the race for which he received a 20 sec penalty which did not affect his final placing. Hamilton said he felt he had done nothing wrong in both cases.
Hamilton said that he felt victimized by events at recent races, complaining that he had done his best to provide entertainment by going for over-taking opportunities. "People want to see racing," he said.

ABC News' Lisa Stark reports:
Like mother, like daughter. Like father, like son. Just as adults are increasingly grabbing for their digital media devices, their children are too.
Sometimes it's the perfect toy to keep a cranky 2-year-old quiet, or maybe your 6-year0-old is begging to play the latest game app. A new study has now taken a first-ever look at children's use of new digital media devices. The study, by Common Sense Media, finds the devices are quickly becoming a part of a children's world.
Researchers surveyed omore than 1,300 parents of children up to age 8. They found that 40 percent of 2- to 4-year-olds, and 52 percent of 5- to 8-year-olds have used smart phones, video iPods, iPads or similar devices. Even infants are not immune. Ten percent of those under age1 have handled one of these devices. The kids are playing games, watching videos, or using other apps. On any given day, 11 percent of those up to age 8 are using one of these devices. Those who do may spend as long as 43 minutes on the device.
While this trend may be growing, the youngest media consumers still spend far more time in front of a television than they do on one of these mobile devices. Those up to age 8 spend an average of one hour and 40 minutes watching TV or DVDs on a typical day. And those under age 1 spent about 53 minutes, more than twice as much time as they spend being read to.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television for those under age 2. The group doesn't have a position on this new media and its affect on children. Study authors say they're hoping their data will start a discussion on whether this type of screen time is any better or worse for children than TV.
Kids are also mimicking their parents in another modern past time- media multi-tasking. Nearly a quarter of 5- to 8-year-olds use more than one media most or some of the time.

Must Watch: Dan Trachtenberg's Awesome Portal-Inspired Short Film
by Alex Billington
August 23, 2011
Source: SlashFilm
Holy crap Portal: The Movie?! Close, so very close, but it's only a short. Debuted on YouTube (via a tip by SlashFilm) today is a short film directed by Dan Trachtenberg (also of the Totally Rad Show, who last directed this short, too) titled simply Portal: No Escape, and yes indeed it features the badass Portal gun from Valve's beloved games in live-action. And it's awesome. The short stars actress Danielle Rayne. I actually caught this 7-minute film at Comic-Con, as he surprised everyone with the premiere of it during their live TRS panel. It's pretty damn cool, I highly suggest watching it (full screen if you can), check it out.
Watch the Portal: No Escape short, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, from YouTube:
The short was directed by film-fan-turned-filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg, who said on Twitter about the release of the film, "1.5 years in the making, it is finally out. Looking forward to hearing what you think!" with the hastag #PortalMovie. Could it be possible? Maybe if this short gets enough views, Hollywood will take notice! The score you hear in it is by Mike Zarin, best known as the composer of the music in the first Inception trailer (see here). If you want to read some more facts about who's behind this, head to SlashFilm. I just think this is was an awesome short, well conceived, well-made, great effects for I'm sure a very low budget, I wish we could see more from this world. Maybe there's some hope for a Portal movie! Thoughts?
