Global Financial Regulatory Reforms:Implications for Developing Asia
The objective of global regulatory reform is to build a resilient global financial system that can withstand shocks and dampen, rather than amplify, their effects on the real economy. Lessons drawn from the recent crisis have led to specific reform proposals with concrete implementation plans at the international level. Yet, these proposals have raised concerns of relevance to Asia's developing economies and hence require further attention at the regional level. We argue that global financial reform should allow for the enormous development challenges faced by developing countries—while ensuring that domestic financial regulatory systems keep abreast of global standards. This implies global reforms should be complemented and augmented by national and regional reforms, taking into account the very different characteristics of emerging economies' financial systems from advanced economies. Key areas of development focus should be (i) balancing regulation and innovation, (ii) establishing national and cross-border crisis management and resolution mechanisms, (iii) preparing a comprehensive framework and contingency plan for financial institution failure, including consumer protection measures such as deposit insurance, (iv) supporting growth and development with particular attention to the region's financial needs for infrastructure and for SMEs, and (v) reforming the international and regional financial architecture.

Why it takes two to tango (but I can't seem to make it past one and a half)
"Hmm, maybe," I mused. On the one hand it sounded like something that I would normally never in a million years do. On the other hand, maybe that was all the more reason to try it. After all, I'm in a new place, trying to meet new people, so in the interest of "putting myself out there," maybe I should give it a shot. "So you'll be there?" I asked him.
"Oh no," he said. "I've already taken the class. But I'll be at the dance after." So I would be on my own then. "I'll send you the Facebook invite."
For two weeks I let the invite languish, not responding one way or the other, clicking on it every once in a while and staring at it glumly. The closer it got to the date, the less it seemed at all like a good idea. I hate dancing. I'm a terrible dancer. I'm too tall. I don't have the right shoes. I have nothing to wear. It's too expensive. I don't want to pay for the four-week session only to hate it and never go back. You should still go, I tried to tell myself. Who cares, just go. But as the first lesson approached, it was looking less and less likely that I would actually follow through.
Then on Friday night I was hanging out at a crowded bar with a couple of my roommates. One of them was pointing out people he knew. "That's the guy from the barbeque, oh, and that guy was at the party in his underwear, do you remember him?"
"Ohhhh yeah, I do remember him," I said.
"And that guy teaches tango," he said.
"Oh yeah, I recongize him from Facebook," I said. "I should talk to him." Two double Tanqueray & tonics later, and he came close enough for me to flag him down. "So you teach tango?" I asked him in my drunkenly bold state.
"How did you know?" he said in a melodious accent. (Argentinian, it turned out.) I explained the situation, told him that I had received the Facebook invite, but I still wasn't sure. "Why not?" he asked.
"Well..." I said into his ear, trying to be heard above the music, "I'm really not a dancer, and I'm too tall. If I wear heels I'll be taller than everyone there."
He eyed me skeptically, drawing himself up to his full height and looking down at me. "You are not too tall," he said. "See, I am taller than you." I stood up on my tippy toes, as if I had heels on, and then tipped over, giggling.
"Ok. It's just a lot of money, especially since I'm not sure if I'll want to continue..."
"If money is a problem we can discuss later," he said. "Just come, don't worry about it. Just come, please."
"Well...ok. Maybe I will," I said.
"Tango is all about feeling," he said, over the loud thumping music of the club. "You just have to feel, like this," he said, pulling me close to him. And in my drunken, loosey goosey, gin-fully blissful state, I did feel it. With his body pressed against mine, he guided me, and my feet knew where to go. I didn't get stepped on, I didn't stumble and pull back and start apologizing, I just felt it. And it felt good. Goddamn, it felt good.
"I have to go," I said, seeing my roommate signaling me from across the room. "My ride's leaving." We said goodbye and he went in for a kiss on the cheek. My mind reverted back to France and so, on auto-pilot, I went in for a second kiss on the other cheek, which I think surprised him. Playing it off, he went in for a third, and then a fourth kiss on each cheek, which surprised me, and for a moment it was like the horribly awkward cheek kiss that never ends. But I didn't care, because I was drunk, wooo!
The next morning I woke up and cringed, replaying it in my mind. There should really be just one universal greeting, I mused. A hug, a handshake, one kiss, two kisses...everyone really needs to make up their mind and just go with it. My mind soon drifted to the brief dance we had shared, and I lingered there, my body growing warm and tingly just thinking about it. Perhaps it's a sign that it has been too long since my body has felt a male touch of any kind, but I couldn't stop thinking about his body pressed against mine, chest to chest, hip to hip, and thigh to thigh. I think I would like to do that again, I mused. Sunday night came, and so off I went to tango class, decked out in a dress and heels.
I walked in and he seemed genuinely happy to see me, greeting me with a smile and a kiss (just one, this time). "You came!" he said.
"Yeah, well... I'm here," I replied, looking around nervously. I quickly realized that there had been a flaw in my logic. What with all the tippy-toe standing and body-pressing and the "No, look, I'm taller than you" going on, I had failed to take into account that, as he was the instructor, I wouldn't actually be dancing with him. All the men in the room were either coupled up or portly, older gentlemen. And, Internet, I was taller than every single last one of them. What's more, his fellow instructor and dance partner was all of five foot nothing, in stiletto heels. When they danced, her head tucked snugly under his chin. I felt more than a little betrayed. Things quickly went from bad to worse. Though we switched partners every few minutes, I kept getting my feet stepped on.
"Men, anything that goes wrong is your fault," the teacher said. "Even if it's her fault, it's still your fault. You need to guide her, and if she doesn't follow it's because you're not being clear enough." Well phew, I thought. That's a relief. "The only thing that is not your fault is if she gets stepped on. Ladies, if you get stepped on, that's your fault." Well, shit. The coup de grace came when I stepped on my own foot, one sharp heel impaling my own, sandal-exposed toe. "Oww, gahh," I garbled, hobbling completely out of rhythm. "No, I'm ok, thanks."
And things only got worse. They kept making us do things that were actually physically impossible for me, as the taller partner, to do. For instance, it is quite easy for a petite woman to reach up and place her hands on her partner's shoulders while also keeping her elbows pressed against his body. But when one is reaching down from above, it's a whole different story, and I'm sorry, but the elbows are just not going to happen. At one point they had the women reach out and place their hands on their partners' hip bones and lean, pushing all their weight against them. Miss five-foot-nothing reached her hands straight out and leaned against her partner, her body in a perfectly straight line, tilted at a 45 degree angle. For me, however, performing the same move would have required hunching down with my butt pointing out to be able to reach low enough to make contact with his hips, and as he was rather portly, finding his "hip bones" would probably have been an hours long endeavor. That was probably a low point. It didn't help that the teacher kept referring to women as "delicate flowers" and "tiny little angels." Meanwhile I felt like a hulking, gawky giantess, like I could squash small villages with one stomp of my poorly coordinated heel. "Look at her tiny little hand," the teacher said, lifting his partner's dainty, childlike paw. "She is a delicate flower, you don't want to crush her." I looked at my own hands, at my fingers, which are longer than anyone's fingers I know, male or female. I wanted to go home.
I stumbled through more never-ending dances, forgetting things I had already mastered in the beginning of the class, mumbling apologies to my partners. For what it's worth, the couple brief times that the teacher stepped in to dance with me, to illustrate some point or another, it felt better. It made sense, I relaxed, and I didn't get stepped on. But it was too late. The damage had already been done. I was right all along- I wasn't cut out for this shit.
After the class, I walked up to him. "So... I'm thinking I might not come back next week," I said. "Is it possible just to pay you for tonight?"
Honestly, I thought he would at least try to convince me to come back. Instead he said, "No, I asked you to come, and you did. If you decide to come back next week we can discuss it then."
"Ok," I said. "I... It's just... I'm really not a dancer."
"I am not a dancer either!" he said.
"Umm, ok... Now you're just a liar," I said.
"No, I never danced until I was sixteen. And you see her, she never danced either. But then we start learning, and then we dance."
"Yeah, ok," I said.
"Well you should stay for the social dance," he said. "It would be good for you to see."
"I think I'm just going to go home," I said. "It's been...a lot."
And he gave me a hug and I walked out into the night, tears pricking at my eyes. It reminded me of coming home from every middle school dance I had ever attended, the abject disappointment, the feeling of complete and utter failure. What is it about dancing that always sends me spiraling into despair? I wondered. Thinking back, other dance lessons I've taken have ended much the same way. Swing dancing? Bad, terrible. Salsa? Absolute, miserable failure. For a little while I hoped tango would end differently, but who was I kidding? I may have moved to a new city and started a new job, but I'm still the same, terribly uncoordinated, terribly self-conscious person I've always been.
So now I'm stuck. I realize that perhaps this is just not for me, and I want to be ok with it. In general, I am all for persevering and not giving up, but at what point is it ok to admit that you are terrible at something, and that rather than overcome your fear, you'd much rather avoid situations where you might encounter that thing altogether? Keeping in mind that my fear is not limited to tango but extends to all dancing in general, and that situations where I might be faced with my fear include bars, dance clubs, house parties, weddings, and the occasional spontaneous chicken dance.
Basically what I am saying is, how can I ever hope to win the affections of a certain Argentinian tango instructor when I am a graceless, clumsy, non-dancing, uncoordinated clod? Ay yay yay...

I stumbled across your blog and I really enjoy your writing.ReplyDelete
I actually took ONE swing dancing class with my boyfriend and something just like this happened. I only got to dance with my BF for 2 minutes, the rest of the time I had to dance with large, old men. I stepped on myself and giggled the entire time. I never went back.
My suggestion to you is to ask the hot dance instructor for a one on one lesson. Because not only will it give you some alone time with him, it actually could help. My husband is a horrible dancer. Horrible. But he's gotten 100 times better since he decided he was going to. We now go to a club, and instead of worrying about how he looks, we focus on one another, I guide his body a bit, and he actually blends in!ReplyDelete
I was going to say the exact same thing Kalee said. Private lessons! The important thing is to feel comfortable when you're learning to dance, or you can't focus on the actual dancing. It's ok to admit you're not great at something, but it sounds like you were just nervous and self-conscious more than actually bad. It can't hurt to ask him, anyway. Who knows where that might lead?ReplyDelete
This is a great post--You are a columnist! You should go a couple more times, at least for exercise! Is it okay to embrace the awkwardness and keep doing it? Really, though, when do you admit that you're not good at something?--good question. I say, if you have long legs, flail 'em like a crazy person. If your height comes from your torso--switch to belly dancing? :)ReplyDelete
Periodical Curiosity and Erin- Thanks!ReplyDelete
Kalee and Mrs. Bump- I thought of that, and if he had uttered the words "private lesson," believe me, I would have been all over that shit. But for me to be like, "Oh, I think maybe I could use a private lesson" (*wink, wink*)...I will never be that forward.
The multiple kiss thing resonated.ReplyDelete
Being from Montreal (the half-assed version of Paris, I guess), we always kissed on one cheek and then the other.
When I moved to the U.S. and found myself in friendly kiss mode, I went in for the second kiss. It was habit. But the looks I got!?!?! As if I'd taken a knife out of my back pocket and offered to stab the other person in the heart.
It's going on five years since I've been here, and I'm just about there. No double kisses. Unless I forget.
Aww. I wish you would have stayed for the social dances. You were dealing with newbies in the class and the social dance would have been a perfect time to have someone more skillful lead. I know from experience that it's discouraging to follow someone who doesn't know what they're doing. AND! The instructors always stay for the social dances, and he most likely would have danced with you several times!!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you had such a bad time. Try again, please? :) Maybe in Seattle?
is it just me, or does this have all the trappings of a lifetime movie in the making! rach- go get him!! (i remember in my tango class there was always tiny, flower like men and only ever one or two tall guys there with their girl friends. and i'm not even tall!!)ReplyDelete
Dawn- Ha! You make me giggle. Thank goodness someone knows what I'm going through. Also, I guess I knew that you were from Montreal, but it never really clicked. So you're a fellow francophone, eh?ReplyDelete
Jamie- I know, I know. Shoulda woulda coulda. But there was just no way I could have stayed at that point; I was completely demoralized. I don't know if I would try it again someday. I just don't know...
Tal- Don't worry, I'm laying the foundation. Now all I have to do is run into him at another public venue and cheek kiss him until he begs for mercy. Then I'll say, "Well we could just kiss on the mouth if that would be easier..." It's all part of the plan!
Ohhhh... I just loved the re-enactment of your tango adventure... or misadventure! I wish you had stayed, too... But, I can totally appreciate how you felt... not from being too tall, but taking dance lessons for the first time.. I used to do all kinds- flamenco (las sevillanas, salsa, merenge (sp), etc.. and I know that for the first few times, it's really weird at first... getting used to new dance steps...ReplyDelete
Do you know any tall guy friends that you can convince (coerce) to come with you on another occasion?? Maybe go as a group of friends...
Could be fun...
First time can really be a harrowing experience!!!
I applaud your courage and determination for trying it out...
You have to go back! You may not think this is true, but in my opinion, women pick up tango faster than men.ReplyDelete
Take it from me, I was awkward (and still am a bit) for years as I watched the ladies improve quicker than me.
Leaders have a lot to think about (traffic control, leading, the lady's comfort) so we have a harder time relaxing.
Round 2?
Love your writing style,

Yup, but don't you dare ask me to speak French! Although it's a mostly French city (that calls itself bilingual), I lived in an English area, worked for an American company, and only (vaguely) remember the rudimentary French that I learned in high school.ReplyDelete
That said, I can impress the hell out of everyone when I get the French answers in the New York Times crossword puzzles. I guess I haven't lost ALL of it.

Williams, royalty owners settle some issues
GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Williams Production RMT will pay about $4.7 million under a partial settlement a judge approved Friday in a class-action lawsuit involving some 1,200 oil and gas royalty owners in Garfield County.
Williams agreed to the settlement to help resolve litigation over how it calculates payments to owners of mineral interests in the county, where it is the leading producer of natural gas.
District Court Judge Denise Lynch credited attorneys on both sides for coming up with what she called a "very, very fair settlement" of some of the issues raised in the case.
Ivo, Sidney and Ruth Lindauer, all of Parachute, and Diamond Minerals LLC filed the suit in 2006. Lynch on Friday certified the class-action status of the case.
The settlement rectifies issues including accounting errors, amounts deducted by Williams pertaining to the cost of transporting gas, and failures to pay reimbursement for the value of natural gas liquids and for excess amounts withheld for property taxes.
Williams and the plaintiffs continue to disagree on certain matters pertaining to gas transportation expenses, and a trial is expected to occur in the case later, possibly in 2010.
Williams previously had agreed to a $5.2 million partial settlement. The lower amount approved Friday reflects the fact that 22 eligible class-action plaintiffs opted out of the settlement agreement, with about half of those parties being other oil and gas operators.
Grand Junction attorney Nathan Keever, who represents the plaintiffs, said some of those operators may have conducted some of the same royalty-related practices as Williams, and that participating in the settlement might have compromised their own legal position. Keever already has successfully challenged Williams in two other Garfield County cases involving royalty calculations.
The $5.2 million settlement would have included payments ranging from pennies to $400,000, before expenses and attorney fees. But Keever said the party that would have received the highest amount opted out of the settlement. That party is an entity rather than an individual, Keever said.
The award amount is subject to nearly $96,670 in deductions for plaintiff attorneys' expenses, and the remaining amount is subject to a 25 percent fee for those attorneys. Attorneys from Durango and Kansas assisted in the case.
The Lindauers were not in court Friday, but a handful of royalty owners were. One of them,
Cristy Koeneke, who also is a board member of the Rockies chapter of the National Association of Royalty Owners, said after the hearing that she appreciated Keever's efforts.
"We're glad he's in our corner," she said.

Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne are one of the year's more unlikely pairings, though much of their collaborations have been limited to sound, rather than video.
But that was bound to change eventually — and now, just one day removed from her NBC Bangerz concert special, it has.
Cyrus, Coyne and co. released a new video today (July 7) that's a short film of strange, trippy proportions. Bringing Moby along for the ride, Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain is every bit as odd as it sounds, perhaps something expected on Coyne's part but something that continues to emerge as a result of Cyrus' newfound friendship with the band.
Related: Flaming Lips Releasing Beatles Tribute, Featuring 'Fwends' Miley Cyrus, Moby
Basically, the premise is this: Cyrus has a brain. Someone steals it. She yells obscenities as she tries to get it back.
There's static. Psychedelic colors. Video clips seemingly spliced in with neither rhyme nor reason. Pink goo. In short, it's about everything you'd expect from the parties involved.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Coyne explained the concept of the video.
"The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession… John F. Kennedy's brain….the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…"
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens."
Coyne and Cyrus previously collaborated on a cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," itself part of the Flaming Lips' With a Little Help From My Fwends tribute to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

New York, NY, United States, 2013/09/24 - Foothold Interoperability Center utilizing InterSystems HealthShare® platform to ensure HIPAA-compliant health data exchange for behavioral health and human service providers - FootholdTechnology.com / InterSystems.com.
Foothold Technology, a leading provider of electronic health record (EHR) software for behavioral healthcare and human service providers, announced that the Foothold AWARDS software application has achieved successful testing of data exchanges with several health information exchanges (HIEs) and is now fully interoperable. This success marks the beginning of Foothold's Interoperability Center, which is enabling healthcare providers in any Health Home or other coordinated care model across the country to participate in safe, secure, HIPAA-compliant data exchanges as required by the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
The Affordable Care Act of 2010 created an optional Medicaid State Plan benefit for states to establish Health Homes and other HIEs to coordinate care for people with Medicaid who have chronic conditions. Health Homes are care providers that operate under a "patient-centric" philosophy by integrating and coordinating all primary, acute, behavioral health, and long-term services and support to treat the whole person.
The implementation of EHRs among behavioral and other healthcare providers across the nation has accelerated to meet new care delivery and documentation requirements, but EHRs do not necessarily offer interoperability, or the ability to exchange data automatically with other data management systems while interpreting the information being shared. AWARDS is one of very few EHRs with the capability to use the IHE-certified technical protocols that are standard in the healthcare technology industry.
"For many of our providers, this achievement will revolutionize the way they provide services, because they will be able to see a client's entire history of care across a spectrum of providers in their community; as a result, they will now be able to manage cases more knowledgeably and efficiently," says Marlowe Greenberg, CEO of Foothold. "We're proud to help realize a vision in which providers can better collaborate to deliver more effective care to people in need."
Earlier in the year, Foothold announced a partnership with InterSystems, a global leader in software for connected care, to integrate the Foothold AWARDS software system with the InterSystems HealthShare® strategic informatics platform. Said Greenberg,"Because of our partnership with InterSystems, providers who use AWARDS can participate in any health information exchange across the country without duplicate data entry. AWARDS will serve as a single portal to send and receive data in any format required, safely and securely."
Paul Grabscheid, Vice President of Strategic Planning at InterSystems, said,"We are pleased to work with Foothold to support the data exchange needs for a new community of behavioral healthcare providers, further extending the benefits of connected healthcare. Because InterSystems HealthShare is IHE-certified for interoperability, we can fully support Foothold's vision with a strategic interoperability platform."
"Foothold has been a true partner to us as our organization is undergoing massive changes to prepare for healthcare reform," noted Peter Beitchman, Executive Director of The Bridge, a nonprofit agency offering housing and mental health services, which participated in the data exchange. "While we know that data exchange will be of great benefit to the seriously mentally ill, chemically dependent, and homeless clients we serve, the rapidly changing environment poses enormous data-tracking and reporting challenges. With AWARDS as our record-keeping system, we are able to stay ahead of developments while serving our clients and protecting their information."
Irene Koch, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Health Information Exchange (BHIX), said,"New York is one of the first states to fully implement health information exchange. BHIX has been a leader in New York for advancing interoperability to support new models of care to better coordinate care for New Yorkers. In the near future, HIE will be a requirement for delivering care in New York, particularly with the development of the State Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY), and across the nation. We are especially mindful of how HIEs will evolve across the healthcare industry."
"As regulations and protocols for seamlessly sharing patient data are developed, and policies that protect privacy across the country are harmonized, what is becoming clear is the increasing importance for providers to implement an EHR that will be flexible, from a vendor that will be engaged in the process throughout this historic shift," Greenberg added.

Hey all!
Vuitton here with a quick look at a few celebs who hit the town and painted it red this week. Most of our favorite stars were spotted at the Kids' Choice Awards, but we managed to snag a few pics of Bomb Stars looking hot:
I'm really feeling Pharrell's jacket as well as Kim's red dress. And I'm digging DJ Kiss' dress as well. Perfect outfit to celebrate the birthday.
Who rocked it this week for you?

I was truly impressed with the selection available, however, there are others I would like to see there. The delivery was very good. The shipment arrived in the time they estimated. My experience with Internet purchases has been the estimated date plus 2 weeks.

When you order a sandwich, do you forgo most of the veggies just to add extra hot peppers? Do you hold the record at your local restaurant for eating the spiciest hot sauce? Do you make your family members cry when you serve your spicy chili? If so, you're probably wondering whether or not your spicy ways are safe during your pregnancy. When you're swallowing fire and breathing out flames, it's easy to imagine what kind of damage you'll do to your growing baby. In an effort to not turn your baby into a fire dragon in the womb, you might have even cut down on the consumption of your favorite habanero sandwich. However, there is good news. As I sat and ate my last spicy vegetarian gumbo, I decided to look into the effects of spicy food on a fetus, and there are none at all.
Spicy foods, no matter how hot, will not harm your baby at all. In fact, they might even shape your baby's palate so that he or she will come out craving that spicy salsa you're always eating. However, there's a good chance you'll suffer more than usual. During your pregnancy, you'll get heartburn a lot easier than before. When you become pregnant, a hormone called progesterone relaxes all of the muscles and vessels in your body. While this makes a lot of sense for the day of delivery, it causes trouble otherwise. The hormone relaxes the valve at the base of your esophagus so much that gastric acids creep up easily. Outside of pregnancy, most people have a strong valve that keeps that acid down. Furthermore, your stomach will be constricted as your pregnancy progresses and your baby grows, so the acids will have nowhere to go but up. These two characteristics combine to make heartburn and acid reflux extremely common during pregnancy, and spicy foods will only exacerbate the problem.
Spicy foods increase the amount of acid your stomach produces because it needs to work harder to digest them. When there is more acid in your stomach, there is a higher chance it will creep up into your esophagus after your meal.
Spicy foods are perfectly safe for your baby during your pregnancy. However, lightening up on the heat at least until you've delivered your baby will help prevent the pain of heartburn if you're having any trouble with it.

Paul G. Mueller
GUILDERLAND Paul Mueller, an ever jolly fisherman, died on Thursday, June 26, 2008 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany. He was 90.
Born in the final year of the first world war, Mr. Mueller came of age in New Jersey and joined the Navy at the start of the second world war.
He built his career in his family's business, serving as president of Arped Precision Corp. in Westwood, N.J.
A committed Yankees fan, Mr. Mueller would watch the games on TV, said his daughter-in-law, Mary Ann Mueller. "If he had to stay up until midnight to watch it, he would," she said.
Indeed, "fishing and the Yankees" were his favorite pastimes, Mrs. Mueller said. "He always loved the lake, always loved fishing." He passed on his knowledge of the outdoors generously, being active with the Boy Scouts in Pascack Valley for more than 70 years, and earning the highest rank in the organization Eagle Scout. He was also awarded the Silver Beaver for his work as a leader in the Scouts.
Also a long-time member of the Church of the Assumption, Mr. Mueller was active in the congregation for over 50 years.
"He was a jokester," Mrs. Mueller said. "He always had everybody laughing."
Mr. Mueller is survived by his wife, Frances A. Ryan Mueller. He is also survived by his son, Paul Mueller, and his wife, Mary Ann, as well as four grandchildren, Christa, Derek, Dustin, and Colin, and by his great-granddaughter, Allyson.
A memorial mass will be held on Aug. 2 at 11:30 a.m. at St. Madeleine Sophie Church, 3500 Carman Rd. in Guilderland. A private burial with military honors will be in Saratoga National Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Peter's Hospice, 315 South Manning Boulevard, Albany, NY 12208.

John L. Walters
WESTERLO John L. Walters was a veteran who loved hunting, fishing, his friends, country music, and "his Lotto," said his family in a tribute.
Mr. Walters died on Thursday, July 17, 2008, at his home. He was 79.
Born in Greenwich, Conn. on April 7, 1929, he was the son of the late Frederick and Elsie (Olson) Walters.
Mr. Walters was in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He then worked as a laborer with the Albany County Highway Department in Westerlo until his retirement. He was also a member of a Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Connecticut and loved to fly and work on planes.
His companion of 26 years, Helen Lewandoski, died before him as did four brothers, David, Richard, George, and Fred Walters, and a sister, Elsie Nebel.
Mr. John L. Walters is survived by two brothers, Charles and Robert Walters, and three sisters, Ethel Brower, Irene Scheck, and Helen White. He is also survived by three stepsons, Wayne and Henry Lewandoski and Joseph Lewin, and by several nieces and nephews.
A funeral service was held Monday and interment was in the Rensselaerville Cemetery. The Cunningham Funeral Home in Greenville made the arrangements.

Trust and Form 1, please help me
Please help with a Form 1 for an SBR SCAR 16S
Hi all,
I am going to submit a Form 1 for my SCAR 16S to be shortened. I downloaded the form and had a couple of questions after reviewing it that I was hoping that I could get some help with. I already have an Advanced Armament M4/2000 can for it that I acquired through a Trust that i set up. On the Form 1: Section 2; Individual, Corporation or Other Business Entity, Government Entity: (Do I check Individual or Other Business Entity if I will be using a Trust?)
Section 3b; Applicant's Name and Address: (Would this be my Name or the Name of the Trust?)
Section 4b; Type of Firearm to be made: (Would Short barrel rifle/carbine be acceptable?)
Section 4e; Length inches, Of Barrel, Overall: (I am looking for recommendations of length if I chop the barrel and information on what lengths FN will offer so I can select a length that will allow me to go either way once I get my stamp, assuming that FN has barrels for sale by that time). Basically they are looking for the length of the barrel that I will be shortening it to and what the overall length of the SCAR will become after it is shortened?
Section 4h; Identify data that will appear on Firearm; (Are they looking for what will be engraved on the receiver?) What info does need to be engraved on the receiver, is it just my Name, City and State?)
Section 4i; State why I intend to make the firearm; (What would be an acceptable answer?)
Section 4j; Is the firearm being reactivated?; (Is it okay to leave blank or put Not applicable?)
Section 8; (I am assuming that If I sign section 7 that in my situation Section 8 is not applicable, but not sure since this would be a Trust).
Section 13; This is not required since a Trust is being used, correct?
Thanks so much and sorry for all the questions. I just want to do it right the first time, as the wait is so long as it is I don't want it bounced back after months of waiting requiring something to be fixed on the form.

There's still 'all to play for' according to Town chief John Still as the season enters its final third, writes Mark Wood.
Boss John Still believes that it will prove tight at the top, but believes the best teams will now gravitate towards the play-offs as the 'cream rises to the top'.
He said: "We're looking forward to it. As I say, I think we're into the second half of the season now and it's very exciting for everybody.
"I think that this is the time when the strong get stronger and the weak, get weaker, which isn't a complaint about anything.
"The second half of the season, you see I think cream rises to the top normally and you'll see the best teams rising up.
"Some of the teams you might see creaping up and it's going to be tight at the top and there's lots of good sides I really do think so.
"There's lots of good sides that will really push on in the second half of the season.
"I think it will be a very, very, very exciting time for lots of clubs."
Town have enjoyed a successful season to date, accumulating 57 points from 27 games as they lead the Skrill Premier, but are just one point ahead of nearest rivals Cambrdge United who have a game in hand.
But Still sees no reason to change anything they've been doing, saying: "We have no need to (alter anything), we've been very happy with what we do so we don't really need to do much.
"We just need to go and play the games. This situation that you can find yourself in, this isn't Luton, this is all teams.
"You find yourself in at any stage in the season and you just want to be able to say at all times, we're in a decent position.
"We are in a decent position, Cambridge will be saying the same, I think Grimsby will probably be saying the same, probably most of the others would like to think they should have been a little bit closer, or hopefully a little bit closer, but I think us and Cambridge and Grimsby will all be saying that we are in a really, really good position.
"The ones just outside that, Gateshead, Kidderminster, Alfreton, might, if they are thinking of winning the league, like to be a few points closer.
"But there's lots of games to play yet. For all of the teams, they can't take nothing for granted.
"They can't assume that they'll win games that they'll like to think they'll win.
"They can't rely on other teams to not win. We've got to go and win games ourself now."
And Still's focus remains entirely on his own team, despite how tight it is at the top.
He added: "I'm in a fortunate position, I don't look at other teams anyway. The only team I'm worried about is Luton.
"But I know lots of other teams will look at us, and probably at Cambridge, and maybe Grimsby and say if they drop points here, if they drop points there...
"So I'm saying to you, don't worry about other teams! Worry about yourself."

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Tube feeding had been found to be a cause of aspiration pneumonia. Continuous pump feeding at slower rates as compared to bolus feeding may be less associated with aspiration pneumonia.
Randomized controlled trial
Patients expected to remain on tube feeding for 4 or more weeks
1) pneumonia, 2) mortality
|Aspiration Pneumonia
|Device: continuous pump feeding Other: intermittent bolus feeding
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|The Effect of Continuous vs Enteral Pump Feeding in Aspiration in Tube Fed Patients
- pneumonia [ Time Frame: within 4 weeks ]
- mortality [ Time Frame: within 4 weeks ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2002
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2007
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Eligible subjects are randomized into 2 groups by random numbers generated by a computer programme: intermittent bolus feeding versus continuous feeding via a delivery pump.
Baseline Assessment:
Clinical details including background medical diagnoses, indications for enteral feeding, functional status and baseline CXR findings are recorded.
Tube Feeding Regime:
The choice of feeding formula and feeding volume will be guided by 2 dietitians collaborating in this study. Giving sets for continuous pump feeding are changed everyday.
Pump feeding is defined at delivery rate <60ml/hr. In order to avoid interfering with rehabilitative activities, pump feeding can be discontinued for no more than eight hours during the day. Bolus feeding is defined as no more than 400ml/hr, 4 to 5 times per day.
All subjects are reviewed to monitor complications arising from enteral feeding. Free pump feeding sets will be provided for an extra 2 weeks for pump feeding group subjects discharged before the end of the trial. All subjects discharged prior to the end of trial will be contacted regularly by a research assistant until completion or outcome is reached.
Outcome Pneumonia is diagnosed in the presence of 2 major clinical signs: increased sputum production and pneumonic changes in the CXR (according to radiologist report), or in the presence of one major sign and 2 of the following minor clinical signs: raised or depressed white cell count, hypoxia at room air (PaO2 <92%) and body temperature greater than 38%. When the criteria for pneumonia are fulfilled, the trial will be terminated.
All the subjects are followed up for four weeks or until outcome is reached (i.e. pneumonia). Mode of tube feeding on discharge will be decided by the attending physicians, patients and family members.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients likely to need tube feeding for another 4 weeks
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients already on pump feeding.
- Active sepsis: fever, abnormal white cell count
- CXR shadowing
- Chronic hypoxia (O2 saturation <92% on room air)
- Patients who have a history of recurrent self-extubation.
- Short life expectancy (within weeks)

Running. Or walking might be a better description.
Henna for me; I get a lot of compliments on the color, my hair is still mostly very dark brown so the grays hide when hennaed and stick out like nobody's business when they aren't.
I'm terrible about touching up though, and my hair does grow pretty fast so there are usually some sprigs of gray.
Ideally, would like to have a squeeze bottle of already mixed henna in the freezer so I could just thaw and retouch on weekends, but of course I've let it go too far already so not this time, it will be full redo again.

73 Chestnut Street, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, C1A, Canada
Peter Halloran House73 Chestnut Street
73 Chestnut Street is a wood framed, Georgian influenced, former home that was moved to its current location from 95 Fitzroy Street in the early 21st century. Originally built as a single dwelling home in 1855, it now serves as an apartment building. The designation encompasses the building's exterior and parcel; it does not include the building's interior.
The heritage value of 73 Chestnut Street lies in its attractive Georgian influenced architecture; its association with blacksmith and carriage manufacturer, Peter Halloran; and its importance to the Chestnut Street streetscape.
Peter Halloran built his home on land that he purchased in 1855, from his next door neighbour and father in law, Henry Charlton. Halloran was a blacksmith and carriage builder whose factory was on the property. His son later joined him in building carriages at their factory called Halloran & Son. Peter Halloran was not only a carriage builder but according to his advertisements, he built wagons, buggies and sleighs, all of which were common methods of transportation before the advent of the automobile.
The block, on which the home was built, contained other carriage builders such as the Scotts' and the Larges'. Carriage building was a busy trade in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Families of wealth and prestige were the only ones who could afford such a grand mode of transportation. A carriage was a status symbol and many aimed at having the most fine-looking one.
73 Chestnut Street is an example of an early Georgian style home. Irene Rogers in her book, Charlottetown: The Life In its Buildings, wrote that it was the " best proportioned house on the block". The Georgian style followed a British tradition that began in the late 1700s and the early 1800s. The style was popular for its formal symmetry, multi-paned windows, central entrances with a panelled door, and a sloping gable roof.
In the early part of the 21st century, 73 Chestnut Street was moved from Fitzroy Street over two blocks to Chestnut Street in order to accommodate a new government building being built on the corner of Fitzroy Street and University Avenue. At this point, the home was renovated and now serves as an apartment building. Although only situated on Chestnut Street for a short period in its history, it is located on a street with a number of older homes, and its fine Georgian architecture compliments the streetscape.
Sources: Heritage Office, City of Charlottetown Planning Department, PO Box 98, Charlottetown, PE C1A 7K2
The following Georgian influenced character-defining elements illustrate the heritage value of 73 Chestnut Street:
- The overall massing of the building
- The symmetry of the facade
- The style and placement of the windows, including the nine over six windows of the first floor and the six over six windows of the second floor
- The style and centrally placed door with its three paned transom lights and two paned sidelights
- The pitch of the gable roof
- The simple cornice, with eave returns at the gable ends
- The size and shape of the chimney
- The simple corner boards and trim
Other character-defining elements include:
- The location of the house on Chestnut Street

In light of a state audit, some Florida lawmakers are looking to dissolve the one-square-mile city of Hampton, which as of Tuesday evening has a staff of zero.
In light of a state audit, some Florida lawmakers are looking to dissolve the one-square-mile city of Hampton, which as of Tuesday evening has a staff of zero.
Last week, the city of roughly 500 residents in southern Bradford County employed a full-time staff of three people — City Clerk Christina Mobley, Chief of Police John Hodges and Maintenance Operator Adam Hall, the son of former City Clerk Jane Hall and City Council member Charles Hall — but all three had resigned by the time the City Council convened at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
A little more than 20 people, including Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith, came to the meeting. Hampton Mayor Barry Moore was suspended from office in November after he was arrested for allegedly selling oxycodone, but residents didn't really bring him up Tuesday evening. Their focus, as well as the council's, was on the problems now looming over Hampton.
The city government's troubles are numerous and wide-ranging, according to the audit conducted by the Florida Auditor General's Office, the final version of which was released last week. The audit lists 31 findings, including more than $27,000 in questionable expenditures, at least $11,354 in uncollected, unbilled water fund revenue, and inadequate maintenance of public records, including missing receipts.
The council decided Tuesday to hand over the city government's keys to council member Bill Goodge, a sergeant at the Bradford County Jail.
City Hall will be closed during business hours because no one works there anymore. Acting Mayor Myrtice McCullough told residents the city won't have the money to hire anyone new since the state's Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, which met on Monday, has called for the city to be barred from receiving certain state funds amounting to about $18,000 a year.
Elected officials on the committee also called for the city to be dissolved as well as for a criminal investigation.
Beyond the state funding that may be withheld from the city, the Hampton government gets revenue from the bills paid by city water customers, McCullough told The Sun after Tuesday's meeting. But without any staff, it can't collect on those bills.
The city can't bring in money from traffic citations because it no longer has a police department now that the police chief has resigned, she said, although the city hasn't received much money from such citations in a while. And Hampton's ad valorem tax revenue adds less than $3,000 to the city coffer.
The Sheriff's Office will continue to respond to calls in the Hampton community as it has for some time now, Smith assured everyone at the meeting.
McCullough said the city hadn't gotten formal word from the state on when it might be dissolved, although state Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, told The Sun earlier Tuesday that he and state Rep. Charles Van Zant, R-Keystone Heights, both of whom represent Bradford County, will formally pursue dissolving the city in the 2015 legislative session.
If dissolved, the city would become part of unincorporated Bradford County.
"The unwinding of this town needs to be a thoughtful process that's done in a very orderly fashion," Bradley said.
The audit revealed things in Hampton were worse than he had imagined, Bradley said.
"Yesterday was an opportunity to listen to the auditor general's presentation of the audit, and it was like something out of a Southern gothic novel. You can't make this stuff up," he said. "I'm really struggling to find a reason the town should exist."
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, residents were candid about their take on the city's troubles.
A white-haired woman in the front row asked how no one saw something was wrong in the city when the problems cited in the audit date back to 2009. She and others pointed to financial mismanagement within the government as the root of the monetary bind the city is in.
"That's the problem. That's why they don't have any money — because everybody was taking it," the woman said.
Another woman agreed, saying the city's money went into somebody else's pocket.
The city police department, with its past reputation for running a speed trap along a 1,260-foot stretch of U.S. 301 that brought in thousands upon thousands of dollars in speeding fines, was also much discussed at Monday's auditing committee meeting and at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
One man said the use of city police cars for personal reasons had wasted taxpayer money.
"That's our tax dollars riding up and down the road for nothing," he said.
Sheriff Smith said that even with the money the police department brought in through traffic citations, it was still overspending.
In an interview with The Sun on Tuesday, Smith said he too was surprised by the breadth of the audit's findings.
"I was in disbelief reading over it and thought maybe they'd find a few things when the audit came, but in my wildest imagination (I) never dreamed it would be that atrocious," the sheriff said. "It's a shame. I mean, it kind of makes Chicago and Al Capone look like they were a group of Cub Scouts."
People at Tuesday's meeting said they were concerned about how the city water system would fare without someone to oversee it. One man said Bradford County government should manage the water system so it's in a professional's hands, while a couple of people suggested they or other residents could volunteer their time to do it – an offer City Attorney John E. Maines IV, who works for the city on a contractual basis but told The Sun he isn't involved in its day-to-day operation, said was generous but would be a liability.
A couple of people said they were worried new management of the city's water system by the county or another entity would lead to higher water rates that a lot of residents can't afford.
"That's the American way. Rich get richer and the poor get poorer," one man said.
"Yeah, but ain't nobody in this town's rich," a woman concerned about higher rates shot back.
Smith said the state's main concern is ensuring city residents have viable drinking water and people in Tallahassee are looking into how to get someone to maintain the water system.
One resident did point out that this situation didn't happen overnight and the council members have a lot on their shoulders. "I feel like we're attacking you and we don't mean to do that," she said.
McCullough told The Sun after the meeting that the city may formally ask for a state receiver to assist the city if necessary.

Women and allies have taken to the streets in Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring, protesting in the capital of Tunis and neighboring Sidi Bouzid against an initiative by the new ruling party that would significantly impact women's rights in the country.
The Ennahda Movement, a moderate-conservative Islamist party that won majority votes in the elections for a constituent assembly after last year's revolution, were part of the group tasked with drafting a new constitution. They are attempting to change a line that says women are "complementary to men within the family," as opposed to equal.
Thousands marched through Tunis, according to the Chicago Tribune, holding banners that read, "Rise up women for your rights to be enshrined in the constitution" and "Ghannouchi clear off, Tunisian women are strong." (Rachid Ghannouchi is Ennahda's leader.) They chanted and waved flags throughout the evening.
More from GlobalPost: Protests return to Tunisia with Sidi Bouzid street rallies; six wounded
RT reports that the protests fall on the anniversary of the passage of a 1956 law that guaranteed equal rights for men and women. The Personal Status Code also "abolished polygamy and the practice of repudiation, under which husbands could divorce simply by saying so three times. [And] it instituted judicial divorce and required mutual consent of both parties for a marriage."
Ennahda and the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) should be focusing more on social issues, say opponents to the new draft of the constitution, and many women see these changes as "rolling back their rights."
Reuters interviewed 52-year-old Fouzia Belgaid, who said last year's revolt should not have led to such debate in Tunisian society.
"Normally, more important issues ought to be tackled like unemployment, regional development," she said. "Ennahda seems bent on making steps backwards but we are here to say that Tunisian women will not accept that."
More from GlobalPost: Samira's Story: Why she fights for freedom, in her own words
"I fear for the future of my daughters who may grow up in a totally different Tunisia," she said.
As the protests continued, nearly 8,000 people have signed an online petiton to the NCA, saying "the state is about to vote on an article in the constitution that limits the citizenship rights of women, under the principle of their complementarity to men and not their equality," according to Kaouther Larbi, of Middle East Online.

Deaths in custody in Australia to 30 June 2011

Abstract | Compiled for two decades by the Australian Institute of Criminology, this report found both the Indigenous and non-Indigenous rates of deaths in custody have decreased over the last decade and are now some of the lowest ever seen (0.16 per 100 Indigenous prisoners and 0.22 per 100 non-Indigenous prisoners in 2010–11). For the last eight years in a row, the Indigenous rate of death in prison has been lower than the equivalent non-Indigenous rate.
While Indigenous prisoners continue to be statistically less likely to die in custody than non-Indigenous prisoners, there is a concerning trend emerging, as the actual number of Indigenous deaths in prison are rising again, with 14 in 2009-10 which is equal to the highest on record.
More concerning still is that over the 20 years since the Royal Commission, the proportion of prisoners that are Indigenous has almost doubled from 14% in 1991 to 26% in 2011.

Melbourne Oct. 3 (ANI): A scientist has revealed why nacho cheese Doritos is so addictive.
Steven A Witherly, a food scientist and the author of 'Why Humans Like Junk Food,' said that the chips have the powerful savoury flavour known as umami - "long hang-time flavours" - like garlic, which create a lingering smell that stimulates memories, the New York Post reported.
He also revealed that lactic and citric acids, gets the saliva flowing triggering the impulse to eat.
Another ingredient in the chip, buttermilk, delivers even more lactic acid.
The chips also contain the three artificial colourings that have been showed to attract consumers and these ingredients have been ground so finely that the powder fills every nook and cranny of your mouth. (ANI)

Asian markets mixed, stimulus hopes lift China
By Danny McCord, AFP Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 12:30 am TWN
HONG KONG -- Asian markets were mixed on Tuesday, with concerns over Europe's debt crisis overshadowing strong gains in Shanghai and Hong Kong fuelled by stimulus hopes.
With the corporate earnings season coming up, dealers were taking a cautious approach, while a cut in growth forecasts for the regional and world economy by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also weighed on markets.
Sydney rose 0.52 percent, or 23.4 points, to close at 4,505.3 — a 14-month high thanks to rising iron ore prices. Seoul eased 0.14 percent, or 2.85 points, to 1,979.04 and Tokyo fell 1.06 percent, or 93.71 points, to 8,769.59.
Hong Kong rose 0.54 percent, or 112.72 points, to 20,937.28. Shanghai advanced 1.97 percent, or 40.81 points, to 2,115.23, with the market also helped by a huge central bank injection of funds aimed at boosting liquidity.
Monday saw markets around the world slump on concerns about the eurozone, with Spain still refusing to ask for a bailout and Greece deadlocked in talks with its creditors over its next tranche of rescue funds.
In Shanghai, dealers were betting that China's leaders will unveil a fresh set of measures to boost the economy, especially with a date for a handover of power penciled in for early next month.
The composite index fell on Monday owing to disappointment over manufacturing data that came out last week, when traders were on holiday. The government's purchasing managers' index edged up to 49.8 in September from 49.2 in August — a slight improvement but still below the 50 mark, indicating contraction.
"The latest economic data, albeit weak, did show signs of stabilization, and that gives investors some confidence," said Shenzhen Zhongzheng Investment Consulting analyst Zhang Suoqing.
"Expectations are heightened that more stimulus measures will be introduced."
The upbeat outlook had a knock-on effect for Hong Kong, marking its sixth gain in seven sessions.
However, shares in Tokyo, which was closed Monday for a public holiday, slipped as the yen, which rose in New York against the euro on European debt fears, hurt exporters.
The United States on Friday released figures showing the unemployment rate at 7.8 percent in September, its lowest in almost four years and lifting hopes for the economy.
But concerns about the global recovery were underlined on Tuesday, when the IMF cut its growth projections for the global economy and said things could worsen if the eurozone crisis is not resolved.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by TheMatrix31, Jan 16, 2012.
Anybody have a GIF of that unreal catch Foster made in the 2nd quarter?
Not me but I was struck that everybody except NFLN seemed to give due credit for such an amazing catch. Also Yates kept his cool after the semi-botched snap. I was on my feet after that play.
QFT! Dude I think I knocked over our coffee table jumping to my feet on that one.
amazing catch, in stride, and tucks the ball in, the left hand never even touched the ball and yet no coverage of it.
I want a GIF!!!!!
Foster's an amazing player ..... That was one sick play.
I was shocked at how UNREAL that was. And it was soooooo huge.
Play has "deal with it" written all over it.
Yes, Matrix, a MEME!
Aaaaaaaaaah! Pixelated too! lolol
Awesome, thanks bro!
Dude, after the game Ray Lewis gave Arian the jersey he wore during the game and asked for the brother's AUTOGRAPH! Mr. Foster will have a great career with these Houston Texans and will help them earn the respect they so richly deserve.
Arian sent him a text asking if he would do it http://www.texanstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89043
It just shows how smart he is. He can focus his mind like that and make his body do exactly what he needs it to do. He saw that ball in perfectly. I would be on a natural high if I was Arian Foster too.
He's a super athlete. A mutant.
A leader of
The teX-Men. Super mutant athletes all of them. Alright, gimme a while and I'll come up with the cast and their super powers. I would say back off my IP but it's Marvel's. Get them to agree and license it. Would be a pretty awesome T-shirt no?

Secret wedding for Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively
It's not a weekend in the gossip world without a secret wedding. This time, the honor goes to Green Lantern co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who married over the weekend just outside of Charleston, S.C., E! has confirmed.
No word on whether they worked the superhero's famous oath into the nuptials.
The guest list included close friends and family only. E! says Lively's friends were shocked that she tied the knot so fast with Reynolds; she only broke up with Leonardo DiCaprio just over a year ago. At least Reynolds waited a little longer; he split with Scarlett Johansson in 2010 and their divorce was finalized last year.

They are not stupidly priced. Tamagotchi's are popular again and lots of people are looking for rare Tamagotchi's. That one was released in the '90s, and is rare. That is why it is so expensive.
I already have the brick one and can't find it. That's why I wanted to know about the others =( All the brick ones on ebay are stupidly priced but the "newer" digivices are cheaper.
Thanks anyway. =)
Posted 01 September 2005 - 05:41 AM ( #5 )
I don't care how collectable they are, I'm not paying over £20 for something that I'm probably going to lose again anyway.
It may not be a stupid price for collectors, I wasn't saying it was, I'm saying it's a stupid price for someone like me who loses things easily and only wants one again because it will be fun again for a while =/
Now, does anyone have any of the other Digivice things? I can get a Season 4 D tector for a good price, but I still don't know what any of the others do. Google isn't helping at all.

First, if you're looking for a place to shop, Toys N Joys carries various Japanese Digimon pets, including the newest ones, Digimon Accel. As a big-time Digimon enthusiast, I have the Evil Genome of the Accel. I'm waiting for Ultimate Genome to be released, that has the Royal Knights on it. I'll skip the Nature Genome, but will get a Justice Genome as a Christmas present for my eldest niece, who loves the hand-scan option.
Then, go here for all the info you'll need on the Digimon pets, such as evolution requirements, which characters are on which, etc.
Here's my history of Digimon pets...
Original Had this one, lost it on a plane. Had Numemon, Devimon, and Monzaemon.
Pendulum Never had it.
Pendulum Progress Had this one, gave it to my eldest niece. Had Veedramon, ExVeemon, Paildramon.
Pendulum X Had this one, gave it to my nephew. Had Triceramon X and Ultimate Brachiomon.
Accel Currently have this one, and loving it. Had Darkdramon, Seraphimon, Matadormon, and Gallantmon X.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Under sunny skies and temperatures in the low 40s, the Michigan State football team held it first spring practice Tuesday afternoon on the practice fields outside the Duffy Daugherty Building.
Following the 2 1/2 hour workout in helmets and shorts, several players, including seniors Kirk Cousins and Trenton Robinson, met with the media to talk about the beginning of spring practice.
In addition, Blake Treadwell talked about moving over to the offensive line, Steve Gardiner discussed the difference of playing linebacker without seeing Greg Jones or Eric Gordon in the unit, and Todd Anderson shared his thoughts on switching to the fullback position.
Michigan State's second spring practice is set for Thursday afternoon (March 31).
