HTC EVO 3D retired from Sprint's lineup
0. phoneArena posted on 21 Apr 2012, 13:52
While we mentioned the other day that the HTC EV 3D was part of Amazon's penny sale until the end of the month, it looks like glasses-free 3D handset has gone missing elsewhere – Sprint's website...

the 3D was far from being a bad phone. Yess it wasn't the best but it wasn't a slouch

galaxyisking you are a troll. It's one of the best Androids made to date.
13. galaxyisking (Posts: 58; Member since: 18 Nov 2011)
hey thanks man. i love the galaxy line, i had a 3d and switched to the s2 much superior phone, the 3d was laggy and the 3d was a gimmick.....

Not sure what part was laggy but my wife's Evo 3D has been smooth with no lag. She has had her phone since it 1st launched.

i miss my evo3d.i sold it cause i needed money and now iam using Xperia Arc
7. illuminatemyfate (Posts: 9; Member since: 15 Dec 2011)
I have the phone, it may not be the Galaxy SII but it's still a fantastic phone. Second best on Sprint and top 10 android last year easily.
8. illuminatemyfate (Posts: 9; Member since: 15 Dec 2011)
It makes sense that it's retired however, with the EVO 4G LTE coming out and the end of Wimax there is no need for it in the lineup anymore.
9. josephnero (Posts: 592; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
i agree.i loved it
10. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)

i have the Optimus 3D and my mom has the Evo 3D and the LG is a better phone. but the Evo, nonetheless, was a great phone
18. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I found it! I'm actually typing on it right now!
19. Sangeet (Posts: 232; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
That is actually good than the Lg Optimus 3D with the worst user interface that i have ever seen..
They really need a UI Designer or LG should use some custom launcher on top of thier UI but should remove the Optimus UI from thier phone. I hate it..!!
20. Be4ibuy (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Apr 2012)
The 3D was ok. More for the younger generation.. Galaxy line seems to be doing fine. Waiting for the ne EVO 4G lte.
21. ECPirate37 (Posts: 220; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
I have the EVO 3D and absolutely love it. I bought it the day it came out, and I do not think I will even want a non-3D phone now. I know some people said it was a gimmick, but I only use the 3D sparingly. It is awesome being able to watch a 3D movie on it, or taking 3D video (and pics).
However, the processor has been plenty speedy for me and I personally like the HTC UI way better than anything Samsung has done. I know different people prefer different things and that is why it is good that Android is so open and lets people customize.
I am hopeful that HTC will eventually bring out a new 3D phone. (Crosses fingers)

Some of the 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker's neighbors reportedly called the police after the R'n'B singer blasted loud music during a Labor Day weekend home party.
Robin Thicke reportedly was ticketed after music in his home party got too loud. According to TMZ, the incident took place during the Labor Day weekend. Sources at law enforcement office said some officers went to Thicke's pad after some of his neighbors made complaints of loud music.
According to the report, Thicke appeared to be drunk when meeting the responding officers and had "total disregard" to them. He reportedly lowered the volume but turned it up again when they left, so he was ticketed.
The incident apparently was the second report of noise complaints connected to Thicke which police received in a week. Another source close to Thicke, however, said that the "Blurred Lines" hitmaker had apologized to the officers following the report over the weekend.
Thicke has been staying low after announcing split from his wife of nine years, Paula Patton. Earlier this year, he even named his album after her in effort to woo her back. "The album is exactly what happens when you lose the love of your life and you're trying to figure it out in your head," he said in a radio interview in July. "How am I going to move on and get through it all? We just weren't happy together anymore and I still had so much I wanted to apologize for, and things I wanted to take responsibility for, so that's pretty much what the album's about."
Patton, meanwhile, made her first public appearance in six months at an HBO party following Emmy Awards. Wearing a sheer black dress, the "Baggage Claim" star accidentally flashed her nipple to other guests.

It feels like I'm not setting up a studio but an extra kitchen. I keep pulling out plastic bowls, my rolling pin, wooden skewers, ziplock baggies, plastic wrap, cookie cutters, etc.! I used to bake a lot until I became gluten intolerant. Now I don't use most of that stuff anymore so it's nice to put that stuff back in service.

I didn't know I needed an immersion blender for the kitchen until I got one for the studio.
I had an old one that I use for making soap that I donated to the cause...gave me a good reason to get a new upgrade for soaping!
I haven't tried a microplane yet but I suspect there is one in my future!

My first pottery instuctor told us in our first class, "if you don't like working in a kitchen, you won't like working in a studio." I think she hit the nail on the head. It's exact measuring, cleaning up and using your noodle to find new uses for items you have or can make use of.

Microplane and zester great idea, I'm going to start looking for used ones at the DAV. Denice
Posted 11 December 2013 - 09:34 AM
Yesterdays find was the bathtub chair, it has adjustable legs so I can try out sitting on a slanted chair before I break for the CI $200 one! $4 at Good will. SCORE!
Used one of these for a few years as a throwing stool. It has 3 adjustable legs and a triangular top allowing close position to wheel, and slant to aid in holding position. After buying a CI stool, I now use it to hold bats, or tools while throwing.

Note to the happily married... indiscriminately looting the kitchen can be a bad idea. The day that I hauled my wife's 60-year-old rolling pin (inherited from her grandmother) to the clay den, she almost chucked me out of the house...

Only a little advice! Once in the pottery studio, leave it there! Put to better use there too.
It goes both ways, I was "losing a number of expensive corks , thought a rat may have been acquiring them, til I discovered that my partner was using them on the ends of dripper hoses and to regulate no. of holes in the seeder etc.! I happened to mention the cost of these corks, casually of course, and the use of no. of corks seem to have become as expected... Clay has also been used to temporarily seal oozing water tanks, and to increase the water holding nature of sandy garden soil.

Baku, Azerbaijan, June 12
By Aygun Badalova - Trend:
Gymnastics is a very important sport for the future generations, Georges Guelzec, President of the European Union of Gymnastics (UEG) said at the press conference held in Azerbaijani capital of Baku on June 12.
He went on to add that the forthcoming European Games will be very interesting for the audience, and one of the advantages of these games will be that the fans won't have to wait for the outcome results.
"We will be focusing on acrobatic gymnastics. And I think it's the first time it will be launched next year," he stressed. "We want gymnastics to be more dynamic, so the fans and the TV viewers will understand the importance that we pay to this type of gymnastics. I think it will be our first trial, our first test, not only on the European level, but also worldwide, to involve more people and more fans."
Guelzec also stressed that there will be 19 types of sports in total at the European Games.
He added that at the European Games, six gymnastics disciplines will be presented, for a total time of two hours.
"We also consider holding competitions on several alternative disciplines, such as joint male and female performances both in artistic gymnastics and in rhythmic gymnastics, as well as, aerobics and others," he said.
The jubilee 30th Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships will be held at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku between June 13 and June 15.
Some 258 gymnasts from 33 countries will compete for nine sets of awards.

2012: Despite losing Cueto, the Reds took the eventual World Champs to 5 games. Again, disappointing we blew a 2-0 lead, but we played them pretty well.
10 teams make the playoffs now. It's incredibly difficult to win the World Series.
I'm not saying it's all luck (it's not) but I don't see how it's Dusty's fault that the Reds were knocked out in the first round.
The only fair criticism I see was starting Volquez in Game 1 in 2010. Although starting someone else would not have probably changed the outcome.

Thousands of England fans are gathered in Kiev ahead of the Euro 2012 quarter-final against Italy.
Many paid hundreds of pounds for last-minute flights, match tickets and accommodation to be among the 6,000 Three Lions supporters inside the Olympic Stadium.
A large number of supporters spent the hours before kick-off in the Kiev fan zone at Independence Square, drinking beer and singing songs in the glorious sunshine.
A contingent of British police officers - who conducted a joint patrol with their Italian colleagues - praised the behaviour of England supporters throughout the tournament.
Back home around 20 million people will watch the drama unfold on television, as England bid to secure a semi-final clash with Germany in Poland.
Avid England fan Chris Smith, 49, was going to avoid the tournament after the dismal World Cup display two years ago.
But the attitude of Roy Hodgson's side in the group matches persuaded him to spend £600 on a trip to support the team.
"I wasn't going to come but then I had the urge. I've been impressed by the performances and I thought 'why not?'."
Mr Smith, who flew from Birmingham to Kiev via Dusseldorf, has a flight home booked for tomorrow, but said he might go to Warsaw instead if England win.
Tom Taylor, 24, from Manchester, spent £750 on a two-day trip to be in the Ukrainian capital for the big match. He said: "I've got more into the tournament as it's gone along. If we win I'll come back out for Warsaw because it looks a lot easier to get there."

JACK Bobridge remains hopeful of being part of GreenEDGE's World Tour debut at the Tour Down Under, but if a scan of his injured left wrist reveals a fracture, the world record-holder will miss the race.
Since crashing at the national titles on Tuesday, the 22-year-old has been cleared of a broken collarbone but remains sore and swollen. GreenEDGE boss Shayne Bannan is waiting on a conclusive medical report on Bobridge, but is preparing to call on one of four possible replacements.
''He's still got considerable swelling and so we have to wait until that swelling goes down to do another scan,'' he said.
''Hopefully that will be tomorrow. At the latest it would be Friday morning. If there is a fracture, that obviously rules him out. If there isn't, we weigh up how much time he has had off the bike and how urgent it is to get him back quickly.
''We have to consider not just Tour Down Under but the big picture as well.''
Bobridge was upended in the opening kilometre of the road time trial at Learmonth, near Ballarat, due to the wind force of a passing truck.
Bannan preferred not to pass judgment on the conditions for the time trial. But Australian champion Michael Rogers, a bronze medallist in the elite men's event, said the interaction with traffic was dangerous and slowed him down.
Baden Cooke shapes as the most likely replacement for Bobridge - not only because of his strong performance in the men's road race on Sunday, but because he was unlucky to miss selection in the first place.
The world record holder over 4000 metres on the track, Bobridge is seeking to win gold medals at the London Games in July in the individual pursuit and as part of Australia's team pursuit team outfit.
Meanwhile, the world under-23 champion, Luke Durbridge, upstaged an elite field to become senior national time trial champion, while Shara Gillow showed she is clearly Australia's best female in the discipline after obliterating her opposition to take consecutive crowns.
The five favourites in the men's field duly proved a class above the rest yesterday, but with 20-year-old Durbridge leading the way ahead of Richie Porte, Michael Rogers and the defending champion Cameron Meyer, they did not finish in the order all expected.
Durbridge, who was obliged to race against the seniors ahead of time given he now has a professional contract with GreenEDGE, smiled ear-to-ear after his success.
''This means just as much to me as the under 23 world title,'' he said.
''Against this field, and to now be able to wear the green and gold jersey in my first year on the pro tour, I'm a very passionate Australian so to be able to represent my country in these colours throughout the whole year I just can't be happier.''
As well as giving the GreenEDGE women's team a clean sweep of the three elite titles on offer at the national titles, Gillow's result yesterday makes her the obvious selection to race the time trial at the Olympics.
At last year's Australian road titles she triumphed on the same course over the same woman, Taryn Heather, but there was just under three seconds between the pair. Twelve months later Gillow smashed Heather's time by more than a minute.
''I'm aiming very, very high, and not just to put the tracksuit on,'' Gillow, 24, said of her Olympic ambitions that will be the focus of her year.
Rohan Dennis and Sinead Noonan walked away from the under-23 events as dual champions after both won their respective road races before triumphing in their time trials, a feat that only three other riders have achieved since the national titles were restructured in 1999.

I have a new SA client. I have her income and expenditure accounts from her previous accountant from 2009-2012, made up to 5th April each year. However, having reviewed some of the the expense receipts and fee income, its clear that transactions from at least Jul 11 - Dec 12 have been included in the SA return 2011-12. My client does not have a copy of the paper return her accountant submitted for 11-12 for me to check the basis period (and not available in HMRC Online Services). However, she has told me that ther old accountant 'included more than April - April, as she did not earn much in that time'.
I'd appreciate any advice on what basis period I should include in her return 12-13. There is unlikely to be tax payable given the amounts involved, but I am wary of double counting.
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Well you have the usual problem caused when accountants don't use double entry. Presumably there is no balance sheet, no bank balance and no bank reconciliation!
As you are on notice from the client, rightly or wrongly, that the previous accounts are not all they appear to be you will just have to ask the previous accountant for copies of their working papers.
will usually provide paper copies of previous returns within a couple of weeks. Which may not be in time for 31st, so you may need to file with estimated figures, and be prepared to send an amendment.
Don't quite see how obtaining copies of previous tax returns helps here. If the OP's client maintains that her 2012 accounts included transactions that should properly have been included in her 2013 accounts, before the OP prepares the 2013 accounts they had jolly well better make sure that they know whether that is true or not and, if it is, what the relevant transactions were. The only place that information is to found will be in the previous accountant's working papers.
Basis period?
Would you advise that I exclude anything included in 11-12 from the 12-13 return?
The basis period always has been and will remain the year to 5th April.
What is at issue is if the 2011/12 tax return was correct. If you get the information before 31st January, it would be wrong to exclude from the 2012/13 accounts anything which had already been included in the 2011/12 accounts. You should amend the 2011/12 tax return to reflect the correct figures for that year and submit the 2012/13 return with the correct figures for the later year.
I agree
that obtaining working papers would be ideal, but we do not know whether they will be forthcoming.
Copies of the previous returns should at least disclose the basis period used, and there is nothing to be lost by requesting them now.
By comparing the income disclosed on the paper return and comparing it with the known income from the client's own records (I assume they have them) it should disclose whether there were additional sums included, allowing for provisions and accruals (although I doubt these were made if there are no accounts to support the returns). There is clearly a danger of not just double counting but a failure to make correct returns in earlier years leading to an investigation, discovery assessments and heaven knows what. John's advice on obtaining the working papers is absolutely sound as well. Belt and Braces time.
I thought you already had the accounts, which must show the date they were (ostensibly) made up to. It would be bizarre if the tax return said the figures were made up to a different date, but by all means check.
Yes when you prepare the 2013 figures subtract anything that you know was included in the 2012 figures, when you have established the position. I would only provide a white space explanation if the net profit you were subtracting was significant.

Membrane-Encased Nanowires May Help Prosthetic Devices Talk to the Body,
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Medical Device Link -- Many prosthetic devices incorporate microelectronics and robotic components, but they cannot accurately mimic the motions of actual limbs. For example, current prosthetic devices do not provide feedback to the wearer or adjust to variable loads or complex terrains. To address this problem, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL; Livermore, CA; www.llnl.gov) have developed a technique that enables nanowires to function like nerve cells, opening the door to improved communication between prosthetic devices and the body.

I am the All powerful and MIGHTY Toygodd. Screw with me and face my wrath!
Well said, and I've been on a large part of this trek with you man. You and Andrew (Randy) let me come in and do custom work, that made me some dough. I remember hitting all the TRU's on my way home from work at least 3 times a week. I have proof. just try and walk in my garage.
There's tons of great memories, but since we are kind of newsie/ review site, we are still in the lookout for the next new big thing.
We'll find more new friends and experiencess, like with Doc Owen. He supercharged this site and energized us to take on whatever comes our way. The way I see is we're just getting our second wind.
I hear ya Toygodd. It's been a long ride and in a lot of ways, collecting has evolved. Since the time I started collecting, figures have gone from 3 3/4 inches to 5 – 6 inches to the strange 8 -9 inches and now back to 3 3/4 inches. A lot has happened since I stumbled onto this website years ago. I certainly don't drive around on the hunt like I once did. Partly it's the change in retail and the availability of product. It's more often than not now that toy aisles are bare of figures worth purchasing. Course how strange is it to have the 25th Anniversary G.I. Joes and the Vintage Collection Star Wars figures to harken back to the old days that we all thought were long gone. This hobby has certainly evolved. Sculpting has improved, articulation has increased, technology has sometimes helped and sometimes hindered the figures, and unfortunately prices have also increased. With all this evolution, I'm finding that I've also started to find new figures to keep me interested in the hobby. I wouldn't have really thought about the 12 inch market but I can't ignore some of the offerings by Sideshow Toys. Revoltech has some really interesting figures as well as Play Arts. Heck even Mattel's Monster High line has some innovative designs that you have to admire. Through it all, your articles have been there and it's been appreciated. I doubt I'd have the stamina to continue this year in and year out. So you certainly have my admiration. With luck, it'll be a hobby that you continue to enjoy even if it takes a little more effort to find that exciting feeling for an unexpected find. Happy 2013!
Times, fads and interests change. Maybe it is time to move on to something that interests you more.
Hey, TG.
You have been a great friend of the Action Figure community. I remember the days when AFTimes was new, and I always looked forward to your column. Still do.
I sincerely hope that you find your way back to the Happy Place in this industry. While I cannot hope to speak for your legion of fans, just know that we love and respect you NO MATTER WHAT!
Keep on keeping on TG. Collecting for me has taken many unseen turns, and no matter how many times I try to deny it, I Love Toys. Yes my tastes have changed and my focus is now more on Sideshow and Hot Toys, but every so often there comes a figure or three that peaks my interest. Long gone are the days that I have to have every figure, as well as the space to display them, but I am still on this site, among others, culling info and staring at the pretty pictures of whats coming out next. Whether you feel it or not, you and everyone else at this site are appreciated!

That's the seamy beauty of CBS's "Big Brother": voyeurism without guilt. [7 Jul 2000]The New York Times Full Review
I know "Survivor." I watch "Survivor." You, "Big Brother," are no "Survivor." [7 Jul 2000]Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
In all but one or two cases, if I were seated with one of these people on a plane, I'd ask to be moved next to a crying baby or a drunk. What CBS has done here is cast this house with people who resemble the stock types we have come to know from prime-time sitcoms and dramas for 50 years. [6 Jul 2000]Baltimore Sun Full Review
So far, and that's an important qualification, watching "Big Brother" is only slightly more exciting than watching a drugstore surveillance tape. One week in, CBS's five-nights-a-week series remains slow, self-conscious, and visually sterile. [13 Jul 2000]Boston Globe Full Review
Actually watching Big Brother five nights a week (total air time: 3½ hours) seems like the entertainment equivalent of enduring gavel-to-gavel convention coverage on C-SPAN.People Weekly Full Review
Offers only slightly more entertainment appeal than viewing a test pattern. [10 Jul 2000]Detroit Free Press Full Review
Big Brother is that deadliest of TV sins: It's a Grade D bore. [8 Jul 2000]Houston Chronicle Full Review
The cast is dull, the concept is lame and the house that Ikea built is cheap and creepy. The amazing thing is that a show so obviously flawed could have been the source of so much hype. [15 Jul 2000]Newsweek Full Review
"Big Brother" debuted Wednesday night with all of the style and drama of a Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol commercial. ... Five days a week of people in a cramped house full of Ikea furniture is like a bad college flashback. [10 Jul 2000]Variety Full Review
The difference between "Big Brother" and its more successful high-concept CBS predecessor, "Survivor," is the difference between storytelling and rambling. [14 Jul 2000]New York Daily News Full Review
Airing five nights a week and featuring 10 strangers - not to mention insufferable hosts Julie Chen and Ian O'Malley - this will fill our screens for the next three months.

It's clear that this program is a compendium of every irritating cliche ever to assault a defenseless TV viewer. [7 Jul 2000]The Detroit News Full Review
'Big Brother' ... is such a demeaning, depressing exercise that everyone involved ought to be lashed to one of the Pentagon's defective 'Star Wars' missiles and rocketed out over the Pacific, never to be heard from again, except by the sharks. [2 Aug 2000]Boston Herald Full Review

For everyone who wants to feel great and maximize his or her health, there is a nutritional powerhouse available to you...
Golden Valley Omega Flax! Omega Flax provides a high amount of fiber, lignans and Omega 3 fatty acids. These three components work together to prevent many health problems and to promote your best possible health. Find out more...
Flax seed has been used in the diets of humans for
thousands of years. The Babylonians cultivated flax seed as early as 3,000 B.C., and millennia later, in 650 B.C., Hippocrates used flax seed for the relief of intestinal discomfort. Flax seed was so important for the health of his subjects that the 8th century king, Charlemagne, passed laws and regulations governing its consumption. Today, consumers are turning to flax seed for its many health benefits and pleasant, nutty flavour a distinctive addition to baked products. flax seed provides essential nutrients, including protein, essential fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals; and it contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre. Moreover, flax seed is a rich source of lignans, a type of phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are compounds that may protect against certain types of cancer by interfering with the effects of estrogen.
A North Dakota State University research project led to the development of a new golden variety of flax seed named Omega. This new variety was created primarily as a human food source and Omega flax seed has a more pleasant nutty-buttery flavor than the brown flax. Omega flax seed was named for its higher level of omega-3 essential fatty acid found in the beneficial flax seed oil which is a higher percentage than the brown flax. This golden flax seed also has a hull that is easier to grind and it looks much better than the brown flax seed when mixed into your favorite flax seed recipes.
Sometimes, in our fast-paced lives, we tend to forget the simple pleasures of fresh homemade flax cookies, or the delicious smell of flax bread baking in the oven. In our constant quest for healthy eating and living, it's important to remember the joy of preparing good food for those we love.
With that in mind, we thought you might like to look through a few of our favorite flax recipes. If you have any suggestions for us, or maybe have a flax recipe of your own that you think we might like to try, send us an email! Until then, to your good health...
Hello Hyldens,
Thanks for your prompt service, however it is the same service as you have always given me. .I had heard about flaxs health benefits, but had never tried any. I had tried vinegar, garlic, msm, and I forget what else along with Zocar, Lipitor, and presently Crestor to control my cholesterol. my cholesterol was as high as 426. Today my cholesterol is 169, it has been as high as 187 and as low as 149 since I started on your flax. Today I recommend flax to anyone with cholesterol problems. .now my doctor reminds me to stay on my flax.
Your customer for LIFE,
- JN South Dakota
Thank you for introducing me to your flax seed. Not only can I not imagine my morning oatmeal without it, but it has helped me in several health related areas.
- DS Minnesota
Dear Mr. Hylden,
First off, let me say that you grow a wonderful flaxseed. I was first introduced to flax seed last July. My interest at the time was the fiber value, because I had a bout with colon cancer over a year ago and was advised to keep my intake of fiber high. I have since come to learn about all of the other healthful attributes if flax seed. My wife and I both now eat your flaxseed daily.

For the past fifteen years, Tiger Woods has been chasing Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championships, and the unofficial title of "best golfer ever." In the last five years, Woods has also followed Nicklaus into course design, and in late 2012 signed on to design a course for Diamante, the high-end 1,500-acre oceanfront community located on the Pacific Coast northwest of Cabo San Lucas. The design will be Woods fourth, and his second in Mexico, following Punta Brava in Ensenada.
"What really sets TWD (Tiger Woods Design) apart is Tiger's commitment to the project, and his passion to create a golf experience players of all levels can enjoy," said Ken Jowdy, CEO of Diamante. "It doesn't hurt that Cabo San Lucas is the backdrop to Diamante, as one of the world's most desired vacation spots. Having a course designed by Tiger Woods will only add to the resort city's allure."
Tiger Woods and Diamante are pairing up on El Cardonal.
Despite Woods' much publicized divorce and his struggles in majors, this is a huge feather in Diamante's cap, and will be a great complement to their Davis Love III designed Dunes course, which opened in 2009 and is currently ranked among the 100 best courses in the world (it's currently rated 58th by GOLF Magazine). The new Woods Course, to be named El Cardonal, is scheduled to open next Spring (2014), and will augment Los Cabos' growing collection of world-class layouts from major champions like Nicklaus, Love, Gary Player, Greg Norman, and Tom Weiskopf.
Jack Nicklaus, it should be noted, was one of the key players in the Los Cabos golfing boom, designing several standout courses in the 1990s, including Palmilla, El Dorado, and the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol. In the interim, the area has garnered a reputation as one of the premier golfing destinations in the world, with three courses that have been ranked among the world's best, another that has hosted two Senior Slam events, and more high-profile projects in the pipeline. Woods' El Cardonal is expected to be another high-profile property in the regional portfolio, and a big draw for Diamante, with plenty of rolling hills and spectacular ocean views.
"While the (Davis Love III designed) Dunes course is reminiscent of a classic Scottish links course, this course is going to remind people of the old-style California courses," Woods said. "We will use the existing arroyos that traverse the site and well-placed bunkers to create definite strategic choices and carries off the tees."
Like the Dunes, El Cardonal will measure about 7300 yards from the tips, and the two will be contiguous to each other on the Diamante property. Wood's course, which he envisions as a sort of Baja version of the Southern California loops he grew up playing, will be the centerpiece of a fully separate resort within the Diamante community. The new development will encompass about 80 acres, with a vacation club and more than 200 residences. The new resort property will also include a village complex with retail shopping, restaurants, and family friendly amenities like a kid's camp, arcade, water park, swim-able lagoon, spa and fitness center, and a training complex for tennis, baseball, soccer and other activities.
"We are excited to work with Tiger Woods and his design team," Jowdy said. "He brings a wealth of golf knowledge and experience, and we look forward to creating a world-class golf course that integrates Diamante's unique style and characteristics."
Diamante is famed for being the only community associated with one of the world's top 100 courses that offers fractional ownership opportunities. So the new Woods' designed course offers one more chance for destination golfers to buy into a week or more of time every year on a highly rated championship level course.
Ground has already been broken on El Cardonal, and it is expected that the course will be playable early next year.

Commentary: Why the Dividend Tax Cut Adds Clutter to the Tax Code
By Peter Coy
Rich or poor, Americans agree on one thing about the U.S. tax code: It's too complicated. Each April, the 1040 form and its slew of schedules reduce people to tears. Unfortunately, President George W. Bush's bid to eliminate double taxation of corporate profits would make matters worse. It would add paperwork and open new loopholes. "Simplification always gets put at the bottom of the heap," gripes Leslie B. Samuels, a tax attorney at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton in New York City.
The complexity might be acceptable if the changes brought enormous benefits. But even the plan's main author--Columbia University economist R. Glenn Hubbard, the outgoing chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers--predicts that the overall Bush tax plan will boost growth by only 0.2% a year while swelling the budget deficit. The Administration might produce fewer tax headaches and still achieve its aim of a fairer tax system by, say, fixing the alternative minimum tax, which was intended to apply to the rich but is socking millions of middle-class families. Or, if its goal is to spur long-term growth, it could permanently accelerate depreciation of business investment.
The President's plan is clean enough in concept. It asserts that corporate profits should be taxed once and only once. So if a company pays $35 in tax on $100 of profit, shareholders should not have to pay tax on the remaining $65 of profit, whether the money is distributed to them as a dividend or is retained by the company, which would help increase the stock price and add to shareholders' eventual capital gains.
But the idea leads to endless complications in the real world. Already, colorful phrases like "basis clawback" and "cumulative net basis bumps" are entering the tax lexicon. On Jan. 21, the Treasury Dept. had to issue a 12-page "technical explanation" with clarifications and adjustments. Now, airlines and other money-losers will benefit from a change that preserves some tax advantages for companies with net operating losses.
The heaviest paperwork will be keeping up with constant changes in the "basis" of a stock--the price shareholders are presumed to have paid per share. "We're crying in our beer here," says Gayllis R. Ward, senior vice-president for investment tax services at Fiduciary Trust Co. International, a New York money manager. It's not conceptually difficult, but then again, neither was the hugely expensive fix for the Y2K glitch, says Stephen J. Tall, a Fiduciary senior vice-president. He estimates it could take 18 months to write and test software to handle the changes if the bill passes.
Others are more optimistic. Securities Industry Assn. Chief Economist Frank A. Fernandez says the new information can be conveyed fairly easily if the Treasury sets things up right. Some also argue that variations of the Bush plan work well in other countries. Actually, they don't. Germany, Britain, and Japan are moving toward the current U.S. approach, and Italy and France are considering doing so.
The likely macroeconomic impact of the Bush tax plan may be up for debate, but there's little question about its impact on the complexity of the Internal Revenue Code: negative.

Jobs would be slashed and services cut if NSW councils are forced to merge, the state Opposition says.
There are fears the State Government is poised to force councils to amalgamate following an independent review which has found local government should be consolidated.
Premier Barry O'Farrell ruled out forced council mergers before last year's election. However reports today suggested that the ongoing review will back involuntary amalgamations in some instances, and that the Local Government minister, Don Page, would support the recommendations and take them to cabinet.
The Opposition leader, John Robertson, said on Tuesday the government was preparing to break its election promise.
"Forcing councils to merge will have a disastrous impact in local communities and see thousands of local government jobs axed and vital local services cut," he said.
"Ratepayers want the O'Farrell Government to improve service delivery and upgrade their community centres, swimming pools, sporting fields, libraries and local roads – not force councils to merge so they can cut services and jobs."
A spokesman for the acting Local Government Minister, Robyn Parker, said the government had not made a decision to amalgamate councils.
The independent panel was due to report to the minister in July, and the government would not "pre-empt its outcome", he said.
The Opposition's local government spokeswoman, Sophie Cotsis, said council mergers in Victoria and Queensland had led to increased council rates.
In a report released last month, the Independent Local Government Review Panel, which is continuing to examine ways to strengthen NSW councils, said evidence suggested the state had too many councils.
It acknowledged that boundary change can be "disruptive and costly" and that merging weak or unsustainable councils may simply replicate the problem.
The report cited evidence showing that increased scale could bring better efficiency and cost savings for some council functions, such as infrastructure and back office services.
The panel noted that its terms of reference required it to consider the government's pledge not to force amalgamations, and it would be "examining barriers and incentives to encourage voluntary boundary change".
The Leichhardt mayor, Darcy Byrne, said the pursuit of forced amalgamations would be a "breach of faith with the people of NSW", adding that the government did not have a mandate to merge councils.
Before coming to power, the Coalition "adopted a timid, small target election strategy which made no mention of heavy handed Council amalgamations", Cr Byrne said.

Slayer Christmas Lights Rock the Block [VIDEO]
Some dedicated heavy metal fan has cleverly synced his home's Christmas lights with the Slayer song 'South of Heaven,' complete with flashing devil horn-hands and an evil singing snowman.
It's quite an intense yuletide display, and should go a long way toward teaching the owners of other homes with musically-oriented Christmas lights how to really rock.

Griner sets blocks record
Published 9:17 pm, Sunday, June 29, 2014
Brittney Griner blocked 11 shots to set a single-game WNBA record and added 21 points to lead the Phoenix Mercury to an 80-77 victory over the Shock on Sunday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"I knew I had a couple of blocks, but I didn't know how many," the former Baylor standout said. "To do that is pretty big, now I guess I have to try to beat it."
Lisa Leslie (2004) and Margo Dydek (2001) held the previous record of 10.
"I had a (bad) game against Indiana (on Friday)," Griner said. "I had to come out and play good to help my team."
Sports Channel
Since losing to Tulsa on June 6, Western Conference-leading Phoenix (10-3) has won seven of its past nine games.
"I actually thought Brittney had more blocks than that," Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said. "When she started to get more physical and deeper in the paint, that's when she's tough to guard.
"She came up big for us, obviously."
Liberty 67, Sun 65:
Tina Charles and Cappie Pondexter scored 14 points apiece to help visiting New York (5-11) hold off Connecticut (8-8).
The Sun host the Stars at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Femininity and Beyoncé-esque women's power are huge concepts right now within the fashion industry. It has brought on inspiration for sexy, empowering clothing made for the strong woman. Who doesn't love that? Stylist, designer and store owner Niki Schwan focuses on giving women confidence through her designs and brands.
Name: Niki Schwan
Role: Store Owner
CollegeFashionista: What's your go-to work outfit?
Niki Schwan: I personally designed a simple black tailored A-line dress, with a pleated skirt and crisp white cotton collar. Classic and simple; something my shop girls can move around in and be comfortable, while maintaining a professional fashion-forward edge.
CF: What brands does your store carry?
NS: ID Sarreiri (Italy), Maison Close & Les Jupons (France), Madame SuperTrash (Netherlands), Jane Woolrich & Lasvicious (from London), Alpana Neeraj (India), Mijanou (Australia), Laruicci, Laurel Dewitt and Keva J SwimWear (three amazing designers I have relationships with from NYC) & Ankh, Marianna Harutunian and Glynneth B, (from LA). For fall, we are excited to announce Jean Louis Sabaji, a Beruit based Lebanese designer and Beyond (a brand from Bulgaria).
CF: What style does your store attend to?
NS: Forever in pursuit of sexy. I created a space that exudes femininity, grace and luxury. I really wanted to find a space that felt like underground Paris. The product within the space mirrors these same qualities! The concept behind creating the store, was based on this amazing women's luxury specialty product that I was continually finding from around the world, which is not readily available domestically, yet. Product that was once reserved for my celebrity clientele is now available to the public!
CF: Has social media helped with your store opening?
NS: Social media has been a relatively new tool for me, but it is an extremely powerful one, of course. During this early phase of this part of my brand, it is so important that all social media comes directly from my own voice. Which essentially means that when it comes to social media, I am more about quality then quantity.
CF: Who are your major clients as a stylist?
NS: As my brand grows, I am styling a bit less, especially when it comes to the celebrities. I have been somewhat of a go-to expert when a label signs a new female musician, and really enjoy the development part of helping an artist identify who they are as a brand and how that translates visually. That is far more exciting to me then just styling alone. Being able to choose the projects I am a part of is a huge blessing at this point of my career. I recently worked with a new girl group called GRL, as well as another girl group in London, Stooshe. As far celebrity clients, I have had throughout my career: Nicki Minaj, Scarlett Johansson, Lauren Conrad, Janina Gavankar, Keri Hilson, Mariah Carey and more!

The Forex market presents many opportunities for traders to make money. Traders, however, need to adopt a risk management strategy to be successful in the long term and to avoid any mistakes. In Forex, making money means that you want your profits to be greater than any potential losses. This is only possible if you are aware of your own limitations and if you know how to manage and control the risk that you take. Examples of risk management techniques include using a "stop loss" order, hedging, using leverage properly, trading during specific hours and defining the right entry and exit points. Let's review some of the most important risk management techniques in more detail.
When we speak about the risks associated with Forex trading, the first thing to mention is leverage. The simple explanation of leverage is that it allows you to place larger trades with less money. For example, if you're using 1:500 leverage, with only $200 you can place an order worth $100,000. This way you can significantly increase your profits if the market goes in your direction, but you should also consider that your losses are also amplified if it doesn't. Therefore you should consider carefully the leverage you want to use when trading. At LiteForex the minimum leverage you can choose is 1:1, and the maximum is up to 1000:1 depending on the type of live account you have opened.
Stop orders
In order to minimize losses, it is recommended that Forex traders use stop orders in their strategies. This order type is also known as "stop loss" and is used to automatically close an open position in case the market is moving against you, thus limiting further losses. For example, if you have placed a long position, the stop order price should be set below the current price. On the other hand, if you've placed a short position, then the stop order price is placed below the current market price. Many traders use stop orders because they can calculate upfront the loss level they are willing to take for each trade. Also when using a stop order you don't have to monitor your open positions constantly. Even if you are not in front of your computer, the stop order will be automatically placed when the set price is reached.
Define the right entry and exit points for you
Apart from the tools that are available in the trading terminal, losses can be minimized when you follow a strict plan and know exactly when to cut a potential loss on a particular trade. Discipline is crucial for this approach because once you have decided where to stop the loss, there must be no hesitation. You can determine your risk/reward ratio by calculating the number of pips that are likely to be gained in a trade opposed to the number of pips that you risk losing if the trade is not successful. By defining this ratio in advance, you are able to select the best places where to enter and exit the trade. As a rule of thumb, the ratio must be positive with some of the Forex gurus suggesting at least 1:2 risk/reward ratio. For example, you would not like to risk more than 100 pips in order to make a potential profit of 200 pips. The winning percentage of one trade has to compensate for two losing trades.
Do not take more risk than you can afford
Risk management also includes protecting your capital, and not taking risks that you cannot afford. It is no surprise that one of the most popular rules recommends not risking more than 5% of your capital on a single trade. You never know if your next trade will be a winning or losing one, and if it turns out to be a losing trade, you will still have 95% of your capital left over to make other trades. Adopting a more conservative investing approach will help you preserve your money and give you more chances for profit in the long run.

NARITA, Chiba Pref. (Kyodo) Medical and immigration staff at Narita International Airport were put on high alert Jan. 22 when a Taiwanese passenger arriving from Hong Kong collapsed with a fever and was suspected of having a new type of bird flu, it was learned Thursday.
A medical examination, however, found that the man was suffering from drug poisoning after having swallowed about 90 pouches containing illegal stimulants.
The man went into convulsions and fell into a coma in a customs inspections area after arriving on a Cathay Pacific flight, and a preliminary medical test indicated he was possibly suffering bird flu.
Officials briefly quarantined customs and immigration officers who were in contact with the man and closed an airport clinic that conducted the initial tests. A detailed exam later pointed to drug poisoning.

Andrew Partington cut two gas pipes in his own home and let the property fill with gas, causing a massive explosion which obliterated his rented home and the neighbouring houses in Shaw, Oldham.
The body of toddler Jamie Heaton was found under fallen rubble in the wreckage.
Partington, 28, blew up the house following an argument with his girlfriend over money which resulted in her leaving him and taking the children to her mother's home, Manchester Crown Court heard.
He sent a series of Blackberry instant messages to partner Tanya Williams on the night before the explosion. He wrote: "So I guess I have to show you what you meant to me. Never cheated on you. Always loved you. Get f----- now. Goodbye."
In the next message, he said: "Told you next time you leave, house goes up with me. You left your kids with no dad no home. Goodbye. Boom. Gas pipes cut. Already filled up. Boom."
Partington let his house fill with gas overnight, but said he woke up and cut the gas supply and opened windows. He then lit a cigarette, which caused the devastating explosion. The cost of damage to the houses and surrounding streets has been estimated at around £1.2 million.
Sentencing him to 10 years in jail, Mr Justice Hamblen said: "The resulting scene of the devastation resembled a bomb site and in some senses it was. It was in effect a bomb that you created and detonated.
"As a result of your reckless actions you have caused the death of Jamie. You have taken away his life and a large part of his parents and siblings' lives."
He accepted it appeared that Partington had a change of heart in blowing up the house when he woke up the next day but said lighting a cigarette was "highly reckless".
"You were aware of the risk but you chose unreasonably to take that risk."
Partington showed no emotion as he was led from the dock.
Jamie had been watching television in the lounge while his mother was hanging out washing in the back garden and his father was out at work. He lived at 11 Buckley Street with his parents Kenny and Michelle, next door to Parrington at number 9 and his partner, Tania Williams, and their children.
Mrs Heaton said: "Jamie was a healthy toddler who was mischievous and happy. He had a wonderful life ahead of him and we had a happy family. We felt so blessed to have three lovely children.
"He had recently been diagnosed with autism and we needed to have an understanding of him. He had a huge personality and was cheeky. He played nicely with Jack and Jodie and they miss him so much."
She added: "No one could have prepared me for these events. When I recollect what happened, it is like I am describing a scene in a film. It does not make sense to me. My home has collapsed and I saw my son being killed."
Mr Heaton said his life had been "turned upside down" since his son's death and he felt as if his heart "had been ripped out."
Partington and Ms Williams had a stormy relationship and had been arguing about money the day before the explosion. He had begun drinking at midday and called her "fat", "ugly" and "a tramp" before demanding she leave the house.
The defendant had a string of convictions dating from 2003, mainly for violence and dishonesty.
In the weeks before the explosion he received a conditional discharge for an offence of battery against Ms Williams where he had drunkenly pushed her into some bushes after arguing with her.
Partington was also found under rubble but escaped relatively unhurt with only superficial burns to his body.
He received an extended sentence and will remain on licence for another five years after his release.
In a statement issued after Partington was sentenced, Mr and Mrs Heaton said:"Jamie was nearly two and a half years old. He was a beautiful, healthy and loving little boy who was full of life. He had his whole future ahead of him.
"Like children of that age he was full of adventure and mischief and above all he was great fun. He was intelligent and constantly trying to outwit us both as he worked on his next scheme to find his crayons to redecorate the walls.
"Jamie idolised his brother and sister, Jack and Jodie, and they played so nicely together. They played hide and seek and were constantly wrestling. We often wondered what the future would hold for Jamie and his achievements. His great-grandma said he was a 'genius'. Unfortunately, we will never find out."

Ethanol abuse and dependence causes significant morbidity and mortality within the veteran population. In an attempt to discern the neurophysiological basis of substance abuse disorders, the collection of brain nuclei referred to as the amygdala formation has become unequivocally linked to ethanol reinforcement, withdrawal and craving. Specific amygdaloid subnuclei, particularly the central amygdala nucleus (CeA) have been identified as part of a functional system essential to mediating the response to many drugs of abuse, including ethanol. The CeA modulates autonomic and emotional responses via efferent projections to hypothalamic and brainstem areas, and is activated during withdrawal from ethanol. Behaviors dependent on amygdala activity are strongly affected by several endogenous neurotransmitter systems: Corticotropinreleasing factor (CRF), opioid peptides (including enkephalin and dynorphin) and dopamine (DA). These transmitter systems also play powerful roles in mediating effects of ethanol. Drugs of abuse such as ethanol enhance release of DA in the nucleus accumbens (part of the """"""""extended amygdala"""""""");this effect is associated with feelings of well-being and euphoria. Conversely, ethanol withdrawal is often accompanied by high levels of anxiety and is associated with a decrease in DA function and heightened CRF levels in CeA. In addition, manipulation of opioid peptide receptors (either pharmacologically or genetically) alters the amount of voluntary ethanol consumption in experimental animals. Recent anatomical research strongly suggests a role for DA in modulating these peptidergic systems in CeA. Surprisingly, little research has focused on direct physiological effects of these transmitter systems at the cellular and synaptic level in the CeA. Our recent collaborative work has determined that CRF enhances GABAergic mechanisms in the CeA. Furthermore, release of CRF is necessary for the effects of ethanol on GABAergic transmission in CeA. Using an in vitro rodent """"""""brain slice"""""""" preparation, our laboratory has recently uncovered a novel local circuit CeA pathway that appears to be largely mediated by the release of endogenous CRF. The magnitude of the observed postsynaptic effect is extremely compelling because endogenous neuropeptide responses have rarely been observed, much less fully characterized. In addition, we now have evidence of tonic activity of opioids in the CeA. These actions tend to oppose the actions of CRF. By characterizing these endogenous peptidergic responses in CeA, we have a unique model system to study effects of applied ethanol in a brain region considered critical to the reinforcing effects of ethanol consumpion. A full investigation of these endogenous peptidergic systems, and their regulation by DA, could help elucidate role of the amygdala in ethanol dependence. This proposed investigation of direct effects of ethanol, CRF, opioid peptides, and DA in the central amygdala may provide significant direction for future clinical studies of the neurobiological substrates of drug dependence and drug withdrawal.
The Veterans Administration currently treats a substantial number of veterans with alcohol-related disorders, accounting for a large portion of services received on medical, surgical, and psychiatric units. Since individuals with anxiety disorder diagnoses also have high rates of co-morbid alcoholism, it is imperative to examine the effects of alcohol use from the standpoint of it anxiolytic and anxiogenic actions. Current available pharmacological interventions have limited beneficial effects. As an on-going search for better pharmacological therapeutics, this study aims to investigate candidate mechanisms mediating alcohol dependence. Specifically, we will examine the role of stress-related neuropeptides in the amygdala, a key brain region mediating stress and anxiety. This proposed study should contribute to the development of more effective pharmacological therapeutics to ameliorate and/or treat alcohol dependence.

Slytherin !
This pattern is available for €3.00 EUR buy it now
For snake-lovers and Harry Potter fans everywhere.
Knitted top down: starts with a very easy garter stitch base (all rows are the same) and then you make the snakes.
The snakes were adapted from Tiny Owl Knits Parseltongue hat, with Stephanie's kind permission. Charting them made me realise how clever the hat pattern is ♥
ERRATA/CLARIFICATION - in rows 11 and 17 kb stands for knit and bead.
Setting up the snakes - if you count all the stitches you need a multiple of 10 + 4. If you count from 50 stitches to the end you only need a multiple of 10.
