-Replaced combos with betters versions posted in the topic.
-Removed a.D1 combo because it's a lackluster combo starter
-BNB and AirBNB updated
-Better air to air combos found
-Safer grab combo found
-various comment edits beside combos
-Fixed notation errors

150AP: a.D3, 11U1, a.11, jumpxxa.D3, a.11, a.2
The following 3 work regardless of height the opponent is at:
95 AP: a.3, a.11, jumpxxa.3, a.d3, a.11, a.u2 (2 debris) (sort of impractical)

Upthrow Lv2. position kat as close to enemy as she flys upwards during lv2 activation.
- Air dash diagonally towards the ground to gain forward momentum which can be canceled into any move, including grabs. Good for tech chases and getting in.
- Kat has moderate or high startup on many moves. She's very unsafe on block for except a.S1. a.D2 which can be hard to punish for some characters.Whiff a D3/a.D3 and you'll eat a super or a burst combo.
- Whiffed a.S2 cancels into a.D2. Good for mobility and combo starting
- Kat's long combos set up for most partners level 1's. a.S2 is good to interrupt opponents combing her teammates.
- You lose debris once sent flying, crumpled, butt dropped or hard knockdown but always look to take it out when possible
-Air dash over an opponent then a.S1. Very safe on block
-Lv2 can be used as a semi-decent tech trap after U1.
-Hold super button during lv2 to postpone firing the shots. The shots can be aimed
lv1 costs 150AP
lv2 costs 400AP
Lv3 Costs 750AP

I would just like to note that my 95 AP combo into the level 1 works pretty much anywhere, except places with platforms where her 111 string won't be able to combo into her D3. I've tested it at double jump height, and you can air dash down so you'll still have time to combo after thy mighty FOOT DIVE.
( ^_^)/\(^_^ )
Maya high five!
Just to note when adding debris shots to combos, the debris always launch in this order no matter which direction you are facing:
Bottom, top-right, top-left
Keep this in mind because it can effect the timing for HC her level 1. I have yet to determine if the objects have different stun values but visually, the stun is different on hit for each object.
I find dead men rout more easily.

Anyone know an air to air combo that gives 155 AP? I know only of 145 AP. Here's your chance to be credited in the second Kat combo video!

yea. I for some reason thought it started with A.D3, which would give it a height limit.

If a.D2 is going to miss go ahead and mash a.S2 for a attempt at a safe escape. It's also decent as an approach if a.S2 is done low enough to the ground to cancel the end animation; zero lag once you land.
Kat's grab isn't as far at it seems and is incredibly unsafe, use it sparingly like Ratchet's. Make me sad cause I like grabbing
also, a safer combo off of a.D2 is
a.D2, U1, a.11, jump, a.D3, a.11, a.2. 155 ap and gets you in the air immediately.

This post will be somewhat self indulgent even for a blog, but I just put the last period on my first (last? only?) novel. I have no other place to really mark the moment, so I figured I'd share my thoughts with all of you.
1. I'm actually sad. I enjoyed writing the book, and it's actually difficult to say goodbye to the characters. I don't know if anyone else will miss them after the book is read, but I will.
2. The hardest part (other than, you know, writing a book) is going to be the next month. I won't touch the manuscript for at least four weeks. The book needs a serious revision before I share it with my wife and brother (who are my first readers). I need to let it sit, while I clear out my mind and attempt to gain some objectivity before I work it over.
3. I'm really grateful to my wife for letting me squeeze extra time out here and there writing it. She also wrote a book, and has been incredibly supportive and inspirational.
4. Unless my friends and family tell me it's total crap (and they might. They are mean like that), this book will see the light of day one way or the other. Just don't expect it before the end of the year.
5. I'm going to be working on a website promoting the book sometime this next month. As soon as I have something up, I'll link it up here. It'll be oblique and creative (I hope).
6. While I still fantasize about getting signed for the book (a process I'll embark upon after the third draft is finished), I'm expecting to publish myself and am working on a variety of guerrilla marketing techniques. All ideas accepted, just email them to email@example.com.
7. I'm counting on all our loyal readers to buy a copy, eventually. That will guarantee me at least ten sales!
8. Hopefully, this will mean 18to88 will get a bit more attention in the coming weeks. I promise a Classic Colts post up this week (unless something interesting happens). You can't wait, I know.
The interesting part about this survey is that the Colts would have been second with Dungy still around.
From my friend Brian. Edge hauled water melons as a kid. I think he also ran some drugs for an uncle or something. They didn't print that part so I don't know.

Jenny Frost
Originally known as part of the British girl band Precious, which became famous with songs like "Say It Again" and "Rewind," Jenny moved on to greener pastures in 2001, by joining the ladies of Atomic Kitten. Together, they hit it big with numbers like "Eternal Flame," "Be With You" and "Whole Again."
AppealOne look at Jenny Frost, and it's obvious that she's not a goody two-shoes choirgirl. She's built her career on sex appeal, so it's no wonder that she's now working as a model. But aside from the marketing ploys of getting her to appear sultry and available, Jenny seems to have a wild streak of her own.
She's never scared to talk frankly about sexual matters and even admits to having joined the Mile High Club with her boyfriend. Sex in unusual places is fine with her because when she gets an itch, it needs to be scratched. If you find a chick like her and she's available, give us a call, will you?
SuccessJenny Frost's entertainment career began after she left high school and joined the BBC Holiday Programme as the host, a job that had her traveling all over the world. Then, she switched to music by becoming one fifth of the manufactured band Precious.
In the UK, they had the Top 10 hits "Rewind" and "Say It Again," which eventually found their way to the band's self-titled album. The girls not only won the Great British Song Contest, they represented their homeland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1999.
In early 2001, Jenny joined the phenomenally popular female trio Atomic Kitten. Their tracks "Whole Again" and "Eternal Flame" made their first album Right Now a huge success.
The second Atomic Kitten CD, Feels So Good, came out in 2002, and sold well on the strength of songs like "The Last Goodbye" and "Be With You."
Following their first American record, Atomic Kitten, Ladies Night was released in England in 2003. Atomic Kitten broke up in the spring of 2004, and a Greatest Hits album was released soon after.
Jenny has since inked a solo record deal, as well as a modeling contract. It shouldn't be hard for her, as she modeled as a child and subsequently appeared in publications such as 19, Maxim and B, even making the cover of all three.
Jenny Frost BiographyJennifer Frost was born on February 22, 1978, in the illustrious British city of Liverpool. However, it's in Manchester that she and her sister Shelley were raised.
Jenny, as she's always been known, benefitted from a father who was musically inclined. When she was 9, for instance, he picked her up from school and took her to a Level 42 concert.
So music was always a part of her life. In those days, her music playlist assembled different genres such as New Kids on the Block, Duran Duran, and Motown sounds. Still, Jenny had other passions growing up.
jenny frost models
In school, she was part of every sports team, as she was quite apt physically. Through these activities, she not only found time to dance, but her beauty led her to take on some modeling assignments while she was still a teenager.
Upon her high school graduation, she began her show business career by becoming the host of the popular TV show BBC Holiday Programme. In this capacity, she traveled the world, reporting on exotic locations like South Africa, Japan and the Greek Isles.
jenny frost joins precious
In late 1998, Jenny and her best friend Sophie McDonnell wanted to get into the music industry and form a band. At the same time, they ran across an ad from Medicine Management, which had the same band-creating goal.
Interested by the idea, Jenny and Sophie auditioned and soon they were selected, along with Kalli Clark-Sternberg, Anya Lahiri, and Louise Rose. This new group, which was for all intents and purposes corporately motivated, came to be known as Precious.
Recording was a priority and "Rewind" and "Say It Again" were their first two singles. They both climbed to the Top 10 charts in Britain. The hit "Say It Again" was a winner at the Great British Song Contest and it was then selected to represent the United Kingdom in 1999's Eurovision Song Contest.
precious signs with emi
Jenny and the Precious girls performed in Jerusalem, but didn't win the competition, which was seen throughout the world by over 350 million viewers. Nevertheless, "Say It Again" was released in North America and Precious was offered a recording contract from EMI.
The first and only Precious album was a self-titled affair released in 2000. The band received a lot of airplay and even found itself performing at the same shows as fellow popular British female act, Atomic Kitten.
jenny frost joins atomic kitten
Atomic Kitten was a female trio -- made up of Kerry Katona, Liz McLarnon and Natasha Hamilton -- that came to be in late 1999.
With songs like "Right Now," "See Ya," and "I Want Your Love," these girls sold records by the millions and the Top 10 charts practically had their name engraved permanently.
However, in the beginning of 2001, Kerry Katona was getting tired of the music scene. Her and husband-to-be Bryan McFadden, a singer from Westlife, were expecting a baby and so she left Atomic Kitten. Not wanting the group to disintegrate, a replacement had to be found.
In January 2001, it was announced that Jenny Frost, who was good friends with the Kitten members, would join the band. Precious was now defunct and Jenny wanted to continue on her musical path. She got there right in time for the release of the first Atomic Kitten album called Right Now, which would hit music stores in August of that year.
The band's new single was "Whole Again" and, at the last minute, they replaced Kerry's vocals with Jenny's. The song went straight to No. 1 in England and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. It became one of the best sellers of 2001.
Their next release was the Bangles cover "Eternal Flame." It too reached No. 1.
atomic kitten hangs out with prince charles
Not only did their debut album hit No. 1 in the UK in 2001, they also garnered awards such as the Disney Award for Best Pop Act, Smash Hits Poll Winners, and TV Hits Awards. The band even got its slogan pinned on Prince Charles' chest at the 2001 Party in the Park.
Jenny's personal life was also doing great. In January 2002, she announced her engagement to her longtime boyfriend Dominic Thrupp, known in club circles as DJ Dom T.
Also in 2002, the second Atomic Kitten album, Feels So Good, was released. It found success as well, thanks to tracks like "Be With You" and "The Last Goodbye."
Virgin Records wanted to cash in on this popularity and so they offered the girls a U.S. deal. This American CD, simply called Atomic Kitten, was released in April 2003. Even though the sales numbers didn't equal those in Europe, everyone was satisfied.
A third British album titled Ladies Night burst onto the market in late 2003. The song "Someone Like Me" was the first single, but it was obvious to everyone that the early enthusiasm for Atomic Kitten was not to be repeated.
jenny frost goes solo
In January 2004, the radioactive pussycats announced that they were splitting up. Natasha Hamilton was now a mother and found it too stressful to juggle a music career and a family. Instead of finding a replacement for her, the ladies decided to call it quits after a March 2004 concert. A Greatest Hits album was released around the same time as the final farewell.
Yet Jenny wasn't ready for retirement. In April 2004, she signed a solo record deal. Instead of taking the lucrative big-time record label deal that was offered to her, she chose the quieter path of a new company created just for her by her management team. With this creative control, her first single "Hey Kitty," which she recorded with Wu-Tang Clan, is due out by the end of 2004.
jenny frost signs with premier model management
With the ink still drying on her new contract, she signed another deal. This time it was with modeling agency Premier Model Management. Jenny plans on walking the catwalks for fashion houses such as Dior and Gucci.
And as if this wasn't enough, she has also secured the services of the American management company DAS, the guys behind Wyclef Jean and Black Eyed Peas. This will allow her to get a foothold in the United States. In the meantime, Jenny is happily living in London.

SCOTTISH Friendly is continuing to diversify with a move into group life insurance, chief executive Fiona McBain has revealed.
The Glasgow-based mutual, recently named financial services company of the year at the Scottish Business Awards, holds its annual meeting today after a year which saw funds under management rise 10% to £997million and core life and pensions sales jump 135% to £20m.
Growth was driven by soaring sales of the group's innovative low-entry investment Isa retail platform and its wholesale distribution partnerships in life and critical illness insurance.
Loading article content
Scottish Friendly has followed its deals to provide protection products for the likes of Smart Insurance and comparethemarket.com with a new onshore investment bond for Royal London's Ascentric platform, and Ms McBain said a further venture close to being unveiled was "another example of our diversification".
The group would provide life insurance for employers and affinity groups, with an as yet unnamed distribution partner, using its own efficiencies and developments in data analysis to drive the most competitive rates, she said.
Ms McBain added: "The whole development we have built around Isas is doing really well for us, that is going from strength to strength."
She said: "The changes in the Budget were a surprise, but they were really aligned with our strategy of what we are already trying to do, making saving more accessible."
Scottish Friendly was the first investment provider to publish new literature and videos reflecting the Budget changes which will take effect on July 1, Ms McBain said. "We did that within a week. It's a good example of how we have been able to generate our success, bringing to bear our efficiencies, speed of response, and investment in technology."
She added: "The Isa changes were positive - it's been a while since the Budget captured so much of the public imagination and that has to be a good thing."

Energy saving without compromise
Philips MyVision LED bulb: The next generation in energy saving. Highest energy saving and very long lifetime, instant light and unlimited switching See all benefits
All Philips energy saver LED light bulbs save energy from the moment you turn the switch. During their lifetime they use less Kw and thus also result in a lower energy bill. The level of energy saving differs per lamp type and technology.
Immediate light when switched on: that is the promise of our instant starting energy-saving lamps.
When you switch to a Philips LED light bulb, you immediately use up to 80% less energy without sacrificing light output and quality.
On average we have our lamps switched on 2,7 hrs per day and 1.000 hrs a year. The actual burning hours depend on the season (winter vs summer), weather conditions (sunny vs rainy dark day) and on the room where the lamp is used (bathroom vs living room). This Philips LED light will last at least 25.000 hrs, thus 25 years.
Philips LED lights contain absolutely no hazardous materials, making them safe for any room and convenient to recycle.
Philips keeps their promises about LED light performance. You can trust what the Philips packaging is saying about light output, lifetime, and wattage equivalent to incandescent lamps.

We unwittingly cause our children to be spellbound by dogs. Parents, delighted by their child's sense of wonder when they notice our four-legged companions, often encourage toddlers to "pet the doggy" and ask them to "be gentle" long before "gentle" is part of their skill set. In this way children are pulled into the "canine undertow."
Notice all the photos parents take of toddlers hugging the family dog. If you learn about canine body language, you'll notice the dog usually isn't enjoying the experience. Fluffy is only tolerating the attention, and the child learns to ignore her discomfort.
We've been seduced by dog actors like Lassie. Lassie never whelped a litter of puppies or saved Timmy when he fell down a well. Lassie was always a male — well trained and socialized with a professional trainer guiding him on the set at all times.
You likely know friends who say of their family dog — "Fluff's a 'good dog.' She'll put up with anything. She would never bite." But Fluffy can have a bad day. Fluffy may be ill, have an injury or become more fragile with age. She'll likely give signals that she needs space, but since Fluff's been saddled with the "good dog" moniker, no one will notice. She'll have to "speak up," which might mean a snarl, a snap, or even a bite. For any child whose face is at Fluff's head level, guess where they're likely to be bitten?
It's never too late to teach kids to interact respectfully, compassionately and safely with the family dog, and all dogs. Set reasonable expectations and tailor access to Fluffy to the age/maturity of each child.
First steps
•Ensure Fluffy's health with regular vet checkups.
•Notice when Fluffy is calm and quiet. Reward it every time you see it!
•Train six essential foundation skills using positive reinforcement — sit, stay, down, come, drop it, and "go to mat."
•No yelling, glaring or physical punishment.
•Create "Safety Zones" where Fluffy can rest unmolested.
•Never leave your child and dog together without close adult supervision. Left to their devices, neither is likely to come up with a good idea!

Baby Penguins!
Lynn: We've had so much snow here in Michigan this winter that I wouldn't be at all surprised to see penguins hopping around on the snowbanks! So Melissa Guion's two charming books about baby penguins and their mother seem like the perfect books to review. We've been wanting to review the first book, Baby Penguins Everywhere (Penguin/Philomel 2012) but time slid away from us. So when we were sent the next one, we knew we needed to get writing. So put on your winter gear and read on.
Baby Penguins Everywhere introduces readers to a penguin who spent her days all by herself. She enjoyed the peace and quiet but some days she felt lonely. Then one day she finds a top hat on the ice and when she picked it up, out popped a baby penguin… and then another and another and then there were baby penguins everywhere! The penguin wasn't lonely any more and she was very very busy. Guion's watercolor and pencil illustrations are sweet and funny depicting life with active busy babies that leaves our heroine happy "but a little bit tired." She realizes that she needs a little time to be alone… "though being together is a lot more fun." Toddlers will love this story and the antics of the bouncing baby penguins but human mamas who also sometimes yearn for a little time alone will love it just as much.
Cindy: Just in time for Valentine's Day I get to write about Baby Penguins Love Their Mama! (2014). Who better to show love to than your mama? Mama is busy giving lessons to her many babies…and young readers learn the days of the week along with them. "Waddling on Wednesday. Waddling was harder than it looked." Fishing is more fun than preening , but they all love Saturday squawking. Sound like any youngsters you know? Here's a book to give those mothers who will soon have an empty nest. What will they do now that their babies know how to do everything on their own?
"Silly Mama….you will be our Mama!"
The jacket flap says that Guion "swears she could draw baby penguins all day" and I could look at her adorable watercolor and pencil baby penguins all day. You can get another look at her penguins in her online portfolio. But she also hints that she may try to do a book about her daughter's guinea pigs, Squeaky and Brenda. Yes, please!

Welcome to Pennsylvania, Mitt Romney! What are you hiding? That's the message in the latest Obama campaign ad to take aim at the Republican standard-bearer's personal finances to make the case that he cannot be trusted to steer the economy.
The ad accuses Romney of having "used every trick in the book" to shrink his tax burden and says it "makes you wonder if some years he paid any taxes at all."
"We don't know because Romney has released just one full year of his tax returns and won't release anything before 2010," the ad says. "What is Mitt Romney hiding?"
The Obama campaign has been attacking Romney's personal finances as a way of blunting criticisms of the president over the fitful economy, and casting doubt on the former Massachusetts governor's credentials. Romney has declined to follow longstanding precedent by releasing a decade's worth of tax returns, a fact Democrats have gleefully turned into ammunition for election-year assaults. And even some Republicans have called for Romney to release his returns—calls he has rejected.
Here's what Team Romney isn't hiding: Their contempt for this line of attack.
"With no rationale for re-election and no plan to help middle-class Americans, President Obama has resorted to running a campaign of distraction, distortion and dishonesty," spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement.

Im writing this review today for one dirver in particular. I've actually never have been to fond of other taxi companies in San Diego. I almost always try to avoid having to take a San Diego cab each time i visit my sister in Southern California. Rought expereinces being siad. On halloween night visiting my sister in la jolla i was ready to have a fun night out. I was originally picked up by Andy our dirver when i got into the San Diego airport last wednesday. It was mid day so getting a taxi in San Diego was not very difficult. I was glad i was able to get one so quick and that my syster didn't have to leave work early to come pick me up. During the ride from downtown San Diego to my sisters home in La Jolla, Andy and I had brief taxi cab to taxi rider conversation. During the conversation we talked about the upcoming Halloween and how its one of the most busist nights of the year for cabs in San Diego, California. I knew me and my sister were planning on going out. And so i asked andy if it was possible to make reservations even though they are so busy on that day and preobably just want to use there car to pick up quick rides. He gave me his word he could pick us up the night of halloween. Take us to the location in El Cajon, California where we ended up spending Halloween night having fun. Then pick us up after. WHen halloween came around i gave Andy a call. HE didnt pick up at first. I immiedetly started to panic. INstead of staying calm is started going down the list of San Diego taxi cab compnaies and giving each a call. WIth it already being 7pm i was afraid i had no chance to get my sister and i a cab and that one of us would have to make the drive from La Jolla, CA to El Cajon, CA just as i was getting ready to tell my sister about the bad news of us not being about to find a taxi in San Diego to pick us up. Andy from San Diego Taxi Company gave me a call back and said he would be keeing the orignaly reservation. Two hours later right on time he was there to pick us up. And when we were ready to head home. He was there like he siad he would be. Not alot of La Jolla taxi drivers would do this type of thing on one of the businest night of the year for Taxi cabs in San Diego. I commend Andy for keeping his word. And he will for ever be the first San Diego cab dirver i call each time i visit Southern California.

What can I say about City Captain they always come through and take care of us! Why take a cab when you can ride in style! Great prices with amazing service! Whether its a big group heading out to the club or just a few of us, City Captain is always our #1 choice! When ever we get dropped off they'll be ready to pick us up anytime...The moment I knew City Captain cared was one night when we took the limo van downtown for a birthday party. I ended up getting a little too drunk and when we got picked up everyone had already made their way to the van while I was still drunk in the club having a good time. None of my friends were calling me trying to find me they were pretty much ready to go home (I dont blame them, they were probably as drunk as I was) But who waited there and after 10 missed calls from the Captain. I finally get the message and head down! Captain Joe made it his responsibility to get a hold of me and make sure I got home safe! I've been with plenty limo services and if you aren't there when they get there. They don't care who they leave behind. But that was not the case with City Captain. Ever since then I haven't thought twice about another limo service or taxi! City Captain cares about their clients!We've used City Captain for Company Events, Birthday Parties, Del Mar Opening Day, Random nights to the club and will continue to use City Captain for all our transportation needs! Thanks Guys!
Convenience and friendly service... seriously absolutely amazing service!!!! We were heading out of town to visit family. Our flight out was at 6:30am so we needed to be picked up at 5am. Being my typical worrier self I was concerned that such an early pick-up if missed would be a major problem since we'd be screwed... NOT the case. The car arrived at 5am sharp. Our bags were loaded into the car for us and we were on our way to the airport. We were traveling with our two little dogs and they were welcomed into the car with us. We had a very calm and relaxing ride to the airport. When we arrived at the airport it was very relaxed. The driver unloaded our bags took them to the curb for us. Our drive was extremely friendly and accommodating. When we arrived back from our trip, we picked up our bags, stepped outside to the curb and our car pulled right up and picked us up. We had a relaxing ride home. Both rides were in a luxury sedan.City Captain has great prices and amazing service. Worth every single penny. I don't care to pester friends or family to drive us to the airport. I will be using City Captain permanently!Taxi, super shuttle, airport car services, limo, watch out for http://citycaptain. com
I called San Diego Taxi Company early one morning when my car wouldnt start and i had a flight out of San DIego airport and my boyfriend wouldnt answer his phone to pick me up. I called another taxi cab San Diego service company but they told me it would be another 30 minutes before they could get a driver to me. San DIego taxi company sent mike and he arrived with in 5 minutes of my call. It was so nice not having to pay for airport parking that i think next time i fly out ill just take a cab from san diego taxi
I was searching for airport transportation from our home in Rancho Penasquitos and was surprised to find City Captain's car service was less expensive than the big airport shuttle company out there. We utilized City Captain for a ride to the airport and a week later, JT was there waiting at the curb when we arrived from our flight. It couldn't have been any easier! JT was also very friendly and courteous to our family. I definitely recommend City Captain and I will absolutely be using them again!
Call them for some service.The person who answer the phone understood were I want to be pick-up and drop off. Very good company.was a litte worry, Cause I had them pick-up my grandkids to bring to my house. they were there on time for the pick-up and didn't get lost on the way to my house. kept in touch with me on the phone. Thank you San Diego Taxi. Will use them if I need to. Joe Cortez
I was about to go to airport and was wondering here and there, then suddenly my friend gave me the idea about captain's cab, I never had a ride with them,that was the first time,and they were fantastic,they didn't let us down and we arrived on time, the driver was awesome and friendly as well,I recommend every one to hire them at least once.
The only company that would provide car seats for a toddler and infant. Everyone else wanted our kids to ride without and have a sign a waiver. City Captain was super helpful and friendly. They even play children's music in the car to entertain my son.
Always great experiences and friendly drivers with san diego taxi company. Not amazing or over the top But good service over all. Will use until a better san diego taxi service comes along as of now options are pretty limited with bad service.
I recently used their service to the Airport and booked for my return pick up; NO NEED To follow up were there on time, very COURTEOUS, KNOWLEDGEABLE; PLEASURE using their Service

Right-leaning Economist magazine has a scathing article about Republican presidential nominee saying instead of being an accomplished business man, he "appeared as a fawning PR man, apparently willing to do or say just about anything to get elected." Damn, they just kicked him square in the butt, didn't they? Ripped him to shreds. To be honest, I don't dislike Mitt Romney as a business man and as a moderate Republican. But his flip-flops on issues he stood for four years ago have left me dizzy and disappointed that he continues to show he has no backbone and is quite content to 'pall' around with birthers such as Donald Trump (carnival barker) and Maricopa C0unty sheriff Joe Arpaio. As the Economist accurately points out, as governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney "supported abortion, gun control, tackling climate change and a requirement that everyone should buy health insurance, backed up with generous subsidies for those who couldn't afford healthcare." Well, he has made a 360 degree swing to the other side — the extremist fringe of the Republican Party — to appease the social conservatives. Mitt Romney seems that he would literally sell his soul to win the presidency, including caving to his side-kick's controversial budget plan that would end Medicare as we know it.
But competence is worthless without direction and, frankly, character. Would that Candidate Romney had indeed presented himself as a solid chief executive who got things done. Instead he has appeared as a fawning PR man, apparently willing to do or say just about anything to get elected. In some areas, notably social policy and foreign affairs, the result is that he is now committed to needlessly extreme or dangerous courses that he may not actually believe in but will find hard to drop; in others, especially to do with the economy, the lack of details means that some attractive-sounding headline policies prove meaningless (and possibly dangerous) on closer inspection. Behind all this sits the worrying idea of a man who does not really know his own mind. America won't vote for that man; nor would this newspaper. The convention offers Mr Romney his best chance to say what he really believes. Source: Economist
Mitt Romney seems to be stuck on revisiting the Cold War era by isolating the U.S. in relationships with China (who we owe a shitload of money) and the Russians, who we need to work with. He has also rankled the British, our staunchest ally and has alienated the Palestinian people by kissing Benjamin Netanyahu's derriere as though we depend on Israel and not the other way around. My favorite singer, Patti LaBelle, says we must 'stand for something and not fall for anything.' That sums up the very essence of Mitt Romney. He stands for nothing or else he would not have allowed then-presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich and now the Democrats to define him on the basis of his flip-flopping ways. He has since taken a sharp right turn to the land of right wing extremism, so much so that he can now be considered a 'birther' from his birth certificate dig against President Obama. It's a real shame because I much preferred the version of Mitt Romney as the moderate Republican governor who could work with Democrats and Republicans to get things done. Well, so it would seem. Much of what Mitt Romney has accomplished is shrouded in secrecy — from Mormon faith, draft-deferment days in France to the massive shredding of documents are his administration wounded down in Massachusetts to his reluctance to release more than two years tax returns because his tithes to the Mormon Church are private.

Strand of a Thousand Pearls (Paperback)
Random House Trade, 9780375760037, 288pp.
Publication Date: August 12, 2003
Redolent with the scent of lilac and oleander blossoms, and bursting with the flavors of quinces and overripe plums, Strand of a Thousand Pearls is the story of the imagined and actual marriages of the Azizyan girls, their years of yearning, restless and impatient, and the truth of their engagements, miles away from the enchanted realm and imaginary heroes of their dreams. Six years ago, Dorit Rabinyan burst onto the scene with Persian Brides, a novel that established her as a writer of incandescent spirit with a gift for spinning wry, magical tales about the vagaries of love and marriage. In Strand of a Thousand Pearls, she has given us a bitter-sweet fable about desires fulfilled and denied--about married love and carnal love, about mother's love and the kind of love that vanishes one night without warning, like an evaporated dream.
About the Author
Dorit Rabinyan was born in Kefar-Saba, Israel, to Persian parents and wrote her first novel, Persian Brides, at twenty-one. An award-winning international bestseller translated into ten languages, Persian Brides established her as the voice of a new generation in Israel. Rabinyan won the Israeli Film Academy Award for best television drama of 1997 for Shuli's Fiance, and the Eshkol Prize for her second novel, Strand of a Thousand Pearls. She lives in Tel Aviv. From the Hardcover edition.
Praise For Strand of a Thousand Pearls…
"A lovely story with compelling characters showcased subtly against the realities of contemporary life in the Middle East."
—USA Today
"A moving fable of love...exquisite."
—USA Today
"A formidable talent."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Rabinyan's story is, above all, about women....The marriage stories overlap and weave together in a rich pattern that resembles a parable or family legend."
—Los Angeles Times
"Spellbinding...a literary love story of crushed dreams, part family drama, part modern-day fairy tale."

West Indies' Marlon Samuels is targetting the number one spot after helping his side win the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.
Samuels was named man of the match in final in which he smashed 78 off 56 balls to help the West Indies to a modest 137-6 against hosts Sri Lanka and then took 1-15 from four steady overs.
Samuels hit six sixes and three fours to lift his team to 105 runs in the last 10 overs after they were reduced to 32-2 from the first 10.
He has played 39 Tests and wants to target the top spot in the longer versions of the game.
"I want to be number one and I will continue to work hard because I want to be number one before I finish," Samuels was quoted as saying by The Gleaner.
"I have a lot of plans and the bar continues to rise, especially when I achieve my goals. So what I can say is look out for a more mature cricketer, and an improved cricketer, and I will just continue to work as hard as possible," he added.
Samuels added that he is also looking to make his first double century, saying talking about his plans put pressure on him which help his best shine through.
"The world hasn't seen a double century or a triple century from me as yet, so look forward for them and as soon as possible," Samuels said.
"Every time I talk things before it happens, so you can see by now I like to put myself under pressure ... that's how I bring out the best in me."
Samuels has endured a turbulent 12-year career since his debut in 2000, having seen his bowling action questioned before being suspended for two years in 2008 for alleged links with bookmakers.
"For you to have been playing something since age 12 and then for someone to tell you that you can't play for two years, words can't explain how tough that is, but nevertheless I am back with my first love, which is cricket," Samuels stated.
"The career has been up and down," Samuels admitted. "There have been a lot of tough times. I dealt with them in simple ways and tried to let them pass.
"Being under pressure on a cricket field is nothing compared to what I've been through off the field."
He added that he hopes to make a mark in Test cricket too as that gives a cricketer more recognition.
"I always loved Test cricket and I continue to love Test cricket. The T20 is exciting, brings a lot of new fans, but Test cricket continues to keep the older people. I think you are more recognised in the world as a Test cricketer," he added.

Apparel brands are increasing their focus on new product lines, e-commerce, investments in company-owned retail, as well as international expansion. In this article, let's take a look at one apparel retailer in a better consumer spending environment in most major markets.
A well-known brand
The Gap, Inc. (NYSE:GPS) is one of the most popular brands in the U.S. apparel sub-industry.This specialty apparel retailer operates Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy stores, offering casual clothing for the moderate, upscale and value-oriented markets.
Gap has a solid history in the industry because it is one of the longest-retail stores and offers its products to a wide range of people of any age. Having a multitude of customers, Gap grew a lot in the past and became the largest specialty apparel retailer in the U.S.
The firm has a fierce competition and that has affected its revenue growth. An example is the international firm Inditex, which is one of the largest fashion retail groups in the world with eight brands and over 6,300 stores in 87 markets.

International expansion and others
The company plans to benefit from its international expansion strategy, reducing its dependency on North America and opening stores abroad. New markets in Asia offer a new audience and could help leverage operating expenses, which are also in plans to be reduced. Additionally, it plans a reduction in weak-performing stores in the U.S.
Another key driver for the company comes from the growth in the direct-to-consumer business. Marketing and merchandising strategies that began a few years ago were effective to keep it on track.
Further to the international expansion, supply chain improvements and e-commerce sales make the firm take a better position to compete with other fast-fashion retailers like H&M.
Shareholder´s wealth
The company will generate $6 billion in free cash flow over the next five years, and this will probably be returned to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks. The current dividend yield is 2%, and it has paid dividends since 1976.
Revenues, margins and profitability
Looking at profitability, the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share. The retailer reported earnings per share of $0.58 for the first quarter from $0.71 for the same quarter the previous year. During the past fiscal year, it increased its bottom line by earning $2.75 versus $2.32 in the prior year. This year, Wall Street expects an improvement in earnings ($2.93 versus $2.75).
Finally, let´s compare the best measure of performance for a firm's management: the return on equity. The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same industry.
The Gap
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.
The TJX Companies, Inc.
Industry Median
The company has a current ratio of 41.8% which is higher than the one exhibit by American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO). In general, analysts consider ROE ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive levels for investment, so the ROE of The Gap, Inc. (NYSE:GPS) looks very attractive. For investors looking for a higher ratio, The TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE:TJX) could be the option. It is very important to understand this metric before investing and it is important to look at the trend in ROE over time.

Relative Valuation
In terms of valuation, the stock sells at a trailing P/E of 16.2x, trading at a discount compared to an average of 23.5x for the industry. To use another metric, its price-to-book ratio of 6.1x indicates a premium versus the industry average of 2.12x while the price-to-sales ratio of 1.2x is above the industry average of 0.8x.Two metrics indicate that the stock is relatively undervalued and seems to be an attractive investment relative to its peers.
As we can see in the next chart, the stock price has an upward trend in the five-year period. If you had invested $10.000 five years ago, today you could have $27.011, which represents a 22% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Final comment
As outlined in the article, aspects such as the opportunities in new markets, the growth in the direct-to-consumer business and marketing and merchandising good strategies make me feel more confident on my bullish sentiment.
Moreover, the relative valuation and the return on equity that significantly exceeds the industry median look very attractive for investors.
Hedge fund gurus James Barrow (Trades, Portfolio), Ray Dalio (Trades, Portfolio) and Chuck Royce (Trades, Portfolio) added this stock to his portfolio company in the second quarter of 2014, and I would advise fundamental investors to consider adding this stock to theirs as well.

Each week this season, a panel of media members will make their predictions for South Carolina's upcoming game. How does the panel see today's South Carolina-Clemson game playing out? Find out here.
David Cloninger, GamecockCentral: No, USC doesn't have to win this game. Neither does Clemson, for that matter. And if you ask a lot of folks, the question is not about the talent differential, but if the Gamecocks will be mentally into the game knowing they are headed to Atlanta next week. I don't think it will be a problem, whether they are or aren't, simply due to the talent. Clemson is not a good football team. USC is not a great team, but it has great play-makers, while the Tigers' best of that category (Andre Ellington) is on the bench. The 40-year stretch of futility ends today, and while I don't think it will be a whuppin' satisfactory of wiping out a 63-17 or a 45-0, it will be a win. USC 24, Clemson 20
James Harley, The Side Line: Clemson's offense is simply horrible, ranking 77th in the nation in total scoring. Their only hope is for the game to be a low-scoring, defensive battle, as they have held their last six opponents to 16 points or less, including losses to Florida State and Boston College. However, with USC coming off of a scoring-fest against Troy, and with Lattimore, Jeffery and even Garcia finding their groove at this point, the Tigers will simply not be able to restrain USC like the weaker ACC schools on their schedule. USC 31, Clemson 13
Scott Hood, GamecockCentral.com: Clemson's defense has been stout this year, but have they faced a RB/WR combination as good as Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffery? I doubt it. Meanwhile, Clemson's offense has struggled against most of their opponents until last week's 'breakout game' at Wake Forest. Without Andre Ellington, I can't see Clemson gaining much ground on the SEC's top-ranked run defense. USC 23, Clemson 13
Will King, 107.5 The Game: The Gamecocks will get there first back-to-back wins in the series in 40 years this weekend. They'll do so because they are simply more talented than Clemson. Clemson will focus all of their efforts on Lattimore (as they should) but still will not be able to stop the superstar. Gamecocks will continue riding high momentum going into the SEC Championship game. USC 27, Clemson 20.
Phil Kornblut, SC Radio Network: This USC football team has made history this season and I expect the Gamecocks to add to that resume Saturday. And that would be with their first back-to-back wins over the Tigers since winning three in a row from 1968-70. Both teams have excellent defenses against the run, and both have been suspect against the pass. I expect USC's defense to have better luck stopping Jamie Harper than Clemson will stopping Marcus Lattimore. And I would look for Stephen Garcia to have success hitting his receivers over the top against a Clemson secondary which has been prone to giving up the big play. The Gamecocks roll on to Atlanta with a win over the Tigers. USC 24, Clemson 17
Kevin McCrarey, SC Radio Network: Reasons why I'm picking Clemson: USC hasn't beat Clemson in back-to-back years since 1970. Gamecocks looking ahead to Auburn. Clemson defense one of the best Gamecocks have faced. Clemson 28, USC 21
Benji Norton, 107.5 The Game: This is the week where thinking with my head goes out the window. On paper South Carolina should win this one hands down. The Tigers are sputtering offensively and the Cocks are on a roll, but if defense wins games, the Tigers have a shot. Clemson 17, USC 14
Roger Olivieri, GamecockCentral: This game is not so simple to predict. It worries me that so many people expect the Gamecocks to just roll over Clemson this weekend. Half the time, I am one of those people. One facet of the game, in particular though, stands out to me - the Clemson defense. Is it good? It sure is. Is it great? Absolutely not. Is it the benefactor of some inflated rankings due to the strength (or lack thereof) of schedule? Yes, sir. Though the defense plays well, I'm not completely sure it can do enough to shut down a South Carolina offense that is clicking. Though the Gamecock defense has been torched here and there, the Clemson offense will not be able to outscore them. USC 31, Clemson 17
Alex Riley, Waxahachie Newpapers: South Carolina has it all going in the right direction. Clemson is limping to finish the season. Sound familiar? Flip the team names and you get last year's matchup. Of course, you probably also get 10 other recent games between these two rivals as well. The good news was last week's thumping of Troy showed that the Gamecocks are not letting up despite bigger games still ahead. In other words, no looking past the Palmetto Bowl. USC 27, Clemson 17

Doctor: Husband was in poor health before wife killed him
Posted September 17, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Did a former Wake County teacher murder her husband, or did she kill him in self-defense during a fight? A doctor testified Thursday that Jose Perez, 64, was in such bad health, it would have been "a real challenge" for him to physically assault his wife, Joanna Madonna.
Madonna, 48, is on trial for first-degree murder in the June 2013 death of Perez. She has admitted to killing him but claims it was in self-defense, telling investigators Perez was abusive and had a problem with drugs and alcohol.
Madonna has said her husband attacked her with a gun, but the gun went off, hitting him, and he became enraged and tried to strangle her. She says that's when she fought back.
Dr. Robert Falge, a Raleigh doctor who treated Perez, testified Thursday that Perez had numerous health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, chronic back pain and other serious ailments. His health was so bad, Falge said, that he could barely hold a fork or walk without assistance, let alone hold a gun and take part in a fight.
"Judging by how impaired his arms were, I think it would be a real challenge to do that. I wouldn't say impossible, but a real challenge," Falge said.
Some jurors were visibly upset, covering their eyes and fanning themselves, as a medical examiner testified Thursday about how Perez was killed and showed autopsy photos of his injuries.
Dr. Lauren Scott, an associate chief medical examiner and forensic pathologist, testified that Perez suffered numerous stab wounds, including one to his neck that severed his carotid artery, one to his left chest that perforated his heart and caused bleeding in his chest cavity, and another to his right lung that caused bleeding. He also suffered a stab wound to his jaw.
Madonna's former sister-in-law also took the stand and recalled a visit with her family in South Carolina shortly before the murder. She said Madonna seemed "on edge" during that visit. She said her son gave Madonna a gun and knife because Madonna said she was afraid of someone breaking into the house.
During opening statements Tuesday, Madonna's defense attorney, Crystal Grimes, told jurors that "there was absolutely no reason for Joanna to want Jose dead. She simply wanted a divorce, and because of his actions, she had no other choice but to defend herself."
Grimes said the pair met in an alcohol recovery program and became friends first. Perez eventually left his wife for Madonna. They were married for about four years, Grimes said, before Madonna began to suspect Perez was lying, drinking and had been unfaithful.
"While he was never physically violent, he was very controlling and very jealous," Grimes said.
After a visit to family, Madonna worked up the nerve to ask her husband for a separation. He responded with threats, her defense attorney said, and that led to a scuffle.
"He had a firearm. He shot it twice. Luckily, she wasn't hurt," Grimes said.
Prosecutors say Madonna stabbed her husband a dozen times, then threw his clothes and even his wedding ring in the trash.

Let us now look for the region of Troy. In the Iliad it is located along the Hellespont Sea, which is systematically described as being "wide" or even "boundless." We can, therefore, exclude the fact that it refers to the Strait of the Dardanelles, where the city found by Heinrich Schliemann lies. The identification of this city with Homer's Troy still raises strong doubts: we only have to think of Finley's criticism in the World of Odysseus. In fact, it coincides with the location of the Greco-Roman Troy, but Strabo plainly claims that the latter does not coincide with the Homeric city: "This is not the site of the ancient Ilium." He also claims that this plain was under the sea in Homeric times (this was confirmed by a drilling made in 1977).
On the other hand, the Danish medieval historian Saxo Grammaticus, in his Gesta Danorum, often mentions a people known as "Hellespontians" and a region called Hellespont, which, strangely enough, seems to be located in the east of the Baltic Sea. Could it be Homer's Hellespont? We can further identify it with the Gulf of Finland, which is the geographic counterpart of the Dardanelles (as both of them lie northeast of their respective basins). Since Troy, according to the Iliad, lay northeast of the sea (another reason to dispute Schliemann's location), then it seems reasonable, for the purpose of this research, to look at a region of southern Finland, where the Gulf of Finland joins the Baltic Sea. In this area, west of Helsinki, we find a number of place-names which astonishingly resemble those mentioned in the Iliad and, in particular, the names of the allies of the Trojans: Askainen (Ascanius), Reso (Rhesus), Karjaa (Caria), Nästi (Nastes, the chief of the Carians), Lyökki (Lycia), Tenala (Tenedos), Kiila (Cilla), Kiikoinen (Ciconians), etc. There is also a Padva, which reminds us of Italian Padua, which was founded, according to tradition, by the Trojan Antenor and lies in Veneto. (The "Eneti" or "Veneti" were allies of the Trojans.) What is more, the place-names Tanttala and Sipilä (the mythical King Tantalus, famous for his torment, was buried on Mount Sipylus) indicate that this matter is not only limited to Homeric geography, but seems to extend to the whole world of Greek mythology.
These place-names do not have recent origins, but it is very difficult to establish just how old they are. Unfortunately, all written Finnish and Scandinavian documents, including the most ancient, are relatively too close to our own time, since they do not date back before the year 1000 A.D. Before this date, unlike the Mediterranean world, there is no written evidence available for reconstructing the evolution of place-names. However, they are significant when they are found in clusters, which make cases of accidental resemblance very unlikely, or when they can be linked to geographic, morphologic, and mythological entities. This theory uses place-names mainly as traces or clues, but it is essentially based on the amazing geographic, morphologic, descriptive, and climatic parallels between the Homeric world and the Baltic one, on which Plutarch has given us a lead.
What about Troy? Right in the middle of this area, halfway between Helsinki and Turku, we discover that King Priam's city has survived the Achaean sack and fire. Its characteristics correspond exactly to those Homer handed down to us: the hilly area that dominates the valley with its two rivers, the plain that slopes down towards the coast, and the highlands in the background. It has even maintained its own name almost unchanged throughout all this time. Today, "Toija" is a peaceful Finnish village, unaware of its glorious and tragic past.
Various trips to these places from July 11, 1992, onward have confirmed the extraordinary correspondence between the Iliad's descriptions and the area surrounding Toija. What is more, there we come across many significant traces of the Bronze Age. Incredibly, toward the sea we find a place called Aijala, which recalls the "beach" ("aigialós"), where, according to Homer, the Achaeans beached their ships. Besides, the name of the Halikonjoki, the "Haliko River," which runs 20 km from Toija, is identical to the ancient Greek name "Halikos" of the Platani River in southwestern Sicily, which flows into the sea in an area extremely rich in archaeological remains and mythical records of ancient Greece.
In short, apart from the morphological features of this area, the geographic position of the Finnish Troas fits the mythological directions like a glove. This explains why a "thick fog" often fell on those fighting on the Trojan plain, and Ulysses' sea is never as bright as that of the Greek islands, but always "grey" and "misty." Everywhere in the two poems the weather--with its fog, wind, rain, cold temperatures, and snow that falls on the plains and even out to sea--has little in common with the Mediterranean climate; moreover, the Sun and warm temperatures are hardly ever mentioned. In a word, most of the time the weather is unsettled, so much so that the bronze-clad fighting warriors invoke a cloudless sky during the battle. We are far away from the torrid Anatolian lowlands. The way in which Homer's characters are dressed is in perfect keeping with this kind of climate. They wear tunics and "thick, heavy cloaks" which they never remove, not even during banquets. This attire corresponds exactly to the remains of clothing found in Bronze Age Danish graves, down to such details as the metal brooch that pinned the cloak at the shoulder.
The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Migration of Myth
The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales
The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Migration of Myth
• Reveals how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to ancient Greece
• Identifies the true geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea and Calypso's Isle in the North Atlantic Ocean
For years scholars have debated the incongruities in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, given that his descriptions are at odds with the geography of the areas he purportedly describes. Inspired by Plutarch's remark that Calypso's Isle was only five days sailing from Britain, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer's epic tales originated not in the Mediterranean, but in the northern Baltic Sea.
Using meticulous geographical analysis, Vinci shows that many Homeric places, such as Troy and Ithaca, can still be identified in the geographic landscape of the Baltic. He explains how the dense, foggy weather described by Ulysses befits northern not Mediterranean climes, and how battles lasting through the night would easily have been possible in the long days of the Baltic summer. Vinci's meteorological analysis reveals how a decline of the "climatic optimum" caused the blond seafarers to migrate south to warmer climates, where they rebuilt their original world in the Mediterranean. Through many generations the memory of the heroic age and the feats performed by their ancestors in their lost homeland was preserved and handed down to the following ages, only later to be codified by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Felice Vinci offers a key to open many doors that allow us to consider the age-old question of the Indo-European diaspora and the origin of the Greek civilization from a new perspective.

Injured eagle highlights need for better funding
Posted March 31, 2015
Rocky Point, N.C. — Wildlife organizations are petitioning lawmakers to revise the rules when it comes to rescuing eagles, saying the current regulations make it difficult to find a home for an injured bird.
An injured eagle named Harris was spotted by a fisherman at the Shearon Harris Reservoir earlier this week.
"They saw it on the bank, an eagle walking around, and when they saw it they realized its right wing was king of hanging limp," said Steve Stone with the American Wildlife Refuge. "The injury itself is something where it gets worse if it isn't tended to."
Stone had 24 hours to find Harris a home when the Cape Fear Raptor Center stepped up to help.
Dr. Joni Gnyp, executive director of the center, said the bird has serious injuries.
"He's actually got two openings - one kind of on the inside of his wing and one on the outside," Gnyp said.
The staff took extra precautions to make sure the eagle felt safe, including outfitting him with a small hood to block his vision, which helps him cope with his new environment.
"He is kind of calmed by being in the dark," Gnyp said. "It's a very calming tactic with birds of prey."
While Harris is in safe hands, Stone said the outcome is rare because of the laws to protect eagles.
"You have to have a fully funded facility, so that there is an income no matter what," Stone said. "You also have to be open during the week, so people can come see the eagle. That's the idea of being able to keep the bird, so you can educate the public. And you have to have one full-time employee."
According to Stone, the laws were made when there were 300 eagles in the country. There are now more than 300 in North Carolina.
"The bottom line is we need more places that can handle eagles one way or another," he said. "Whether it's changing laws, which is probably not going to happen, or finding and financing a place that can do it."
Harris is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday afternoon.

Los Angeles County
Although he has been engaged in the practice of law for less than 20 years Richard L. North, of Los Angeles, has successfully conducted numerous important cases, and has earned a splendid reputation for ability and knowledge of the law.
Mr. North is a native son of California, and was born in 1886 at Riverside. He is the grandson of Judge John W. North, who was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Nevada by President Lincoln, and the son of John G. North, one of the leaders of the bar of Riverside for many years. After receiving his preparatory training in public schools he attended the University of California and later entered the University of Michigan from which he graduated in law in 1911.
That same year Mr. North was admitted to the Michigan bar, but instead of remaining in that state, returned to California and entered practice at Riverside. He later located in Los Angeles, where he has since engaged in general civil practice alone, specializing in corporation and probate law, and building up an extensive clientele.
Mr. North holds membership in the State Bar of California and the Los Angeles County Bar Association, as well as the University Club of Los Angeles and various other organizations. In 1912 he married Elizabeth Qua and they have one son, Arthur Hooper Qua. He has many friends and acquaintances among his colleagues, and is recognized as one of the most prominent of the younger members of the state bar.
