Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
I finally reached 678. I got a secured credit card for $ 3,000.00 and I was told to use it. I was told by the banker to always keep a low balance. I do not want any debt but I thought I have to use it since "everyone" tells me so. There was a charge for $25.00 yearly fee and I paid that as soon as it was posted in January . I bought a dress for
$ 230.00 on March 5th and on March 10 I got a message from my fico saying that my balance had increased with $205.00. Therefore my score decreased 3 points. I still had three weeks until my payment was due. However, I paid $ 230.00 that day. With other words, Wells fargo reported a balance of $25.00 even though it was paid the first day it was posted. I still have not seen my credit go back up. It certainly was quick to decrease my score but now it is well over a month ago and it is still 675. Why would I be told to use the credit card to build a credit if my credit goes down for buying something for a small amount of money? Now I do not dare to use it . I am trying to build my credit, not ruining it. I can see scores going down if a balance remains unpaid but after spending just a small amount of money and repaying it immediately? I call it immediately since I paid it as soon as my charge was posted. I just do not understand. Sorry if I cannot explain well enough but I am trying to keep the posting short.
You need history with that card. One on-time payment isn't going to boost your score. Months of on-time payments will. Since on-time payments have a heavier weight on your credit score than credit utilization, it will soon boost your score by keeping a low debt-to-income ratio with months of on-time payments.

OP, CCs only report once per month and they'll report the balance you had on your statement date. They'll report typically within 2-3-4 days of your statement date. Your FICO score will fully rebound if you pay it off and let it report at $0, assuming it increased due to that increase.
For max points, pay off all of your CCs except for once and let those report $0, and get one to report a balance of under 9% of your CC's CL.
FICO doesn't care if you use your CCs or not. Your CC will update regardless. Just use it every 4-6 months to keep some activity on it. Some creditors have been known to close unused accounts.
BTW, you can be 100% debt free, still owe nothing [and still use your CCs]. It's just a matter of timing your CC usage with your payments in relation to your statement date.
Thank you I understand. I will check all the dates and use a small amount once in a while. I don't owe anything but like I said, there has not been an
increase after it was paid. Today is May 10th two months exactly and no change in my score. I really appreciate you getting back to me. Have a great weekend!
they want to see more time than 2 months,,giveit 6 months and see if its going up,,of course be 30 days late one time during that and your score will tank.
Establishing credit is a long process,,they want to see how stable you are with making payments and being responsible with finances over the long haul

Behold the Kaiju: Why Legendary's GODZILLA (2014) Was Everything I Wanted And More
Why GODZILLA was a good film and why you're wrong for not thinking so.
Why GODZILLA was a good film and why you're wrong for not thinking so.
When Man falls into conflict with nature, monsters are born.
Ten films. One Island. Can you dig it?
"Oh, no! Demeking is attacking the ZzZZZzzzzz…."
History shows again and again how Nature points out the Folly of Man. David Maine, in this instance, helps it along a little bit, through the mouthpiece of a 40-foot tall anthropoid-reptilian-insectoid monster named K.
While some have hailed it as a brilliant piece of cinema and the revitalization of the giant monster movie, I found it to be a nigh-unwatchable trainwreck that makes beautiful women puke. Here's five films that, if J.J. Abrams and his team had watched beforehand, would have resulted in an infinitely better CLOVERFIELD.
Shout! Factory is being very, very nice to fans of Japanese giant monster movies. Find out how in this article.

Post your best play!
Covers analysis on that game
1. Atlanta is 13-2 when Horford and Smith both record double-doubles.2. Bothered much of the season by foot and ankle issues, Hawks PG Devin Harris scored 21 points in a season-high 39 minutes Saturday. He made 4-of-5 3-pointers.3. Because of the Knight injury (and potentially a Bynum suspension), Rodney Stuckey will continue to see more minutes at the point for Detroit along with Jose Calderon. Stuckey scored 11 points in Saturday's loss.PREDICTION: Hawks 104, Pistons 97.

Ruger Red Hawk .44 vs S&W m 29

S&W had a problem with the cylinder stop jumping under heavy recoil; a serious problem to be sure, but the S&W haters claimed that Model 29's were blowing up all over the place. Buffalobore warns against a specific condition when soft lead bullets have filled the barrel with lead deposits raising pressures, makes references to guns blowing up, then specifically says not to use their top load in S&W's. They imply (but do NOT say) that S&W's will blow up with their load.
To be honest, I have never owned any .44 Magnum, but I have known folks who loaded S&W Model 29's to equal or exceed Buffalobore specs with no problems.
I think the old stories about S&W's blowing up and Rugers that can't be blown up with anything both need to be consigned to the gun myth trash can. Last I heard, S&W and Ruger buy their cylinder and barrel steel from the same source, and use the same alloy. And they both buy and test their rivals' guns all the time. If one company had bragging points, they would make them.

Red Bull -- Research/marketing Strategy
By: Tasha • Research Paper • 938 Words • April 3, 2010 • 2,316 Views
Red Bull -- Research/marketing Strategy
Company Overview
Red Bull, founded in 1984 by Deitrich Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya, is headquartered in Austria. In 2006, Red Bull generated over Ђ2,6 billion (euros) in 2006 throughout the world with the help of its' 3,903 employees.
The origin of Red Bull dates back to 1962 where the original formula was developed by Chaleo Yoovidhya, a Thai businessman, and sold under the name Krating Daeng by a local pharmaceutical company to treat jetlag and boost energy for truck drivers. The Thai product was transformed into a global brand by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur. Both Mateschitz and Yoovidhya invested $500,000 of savings and launched the "Austrian version" in 1997 in the U.S. markets. It is this "Austrian version" that has taken almost half of the U.S. market for energy drinks and 80% of market in other countries by storm.
Red Bull is sold as an energy drink to combat mental and physical fatigue. A sugar-free version has been available since the beginning of 2003. The drink tastes of citrus and herbs, and is commonly used as a mixer in alcoholic drinks such as Raspberry Stoli Vodka or base ingredient in the famous Jagerbomb. It has become extremely popular over the recent years with almost 1 billion 250ml cans sold in 2000 to more than 3 billion cans sold in 2006 in over 130 countries.
Active ingredients include, but not limited to, 27g of sugar, 1000mg of taurine, B-complex vitamins, and 80mg of caffeine - which is a little less than the amount of caffeine found in an average cup of coffee and about two times as much caffeine as many leading cola drinks.
Core Competency and Market
Red Bull specializes in energy drinks. The Red Bull Company also distributes and markets a number of other drinks in the United Kingdom including the Carpe Diem range of herbal soft beverages and the Sabai Wine Spritzer. The original Thai Krafting Daeng is often available in many Asian grocery stores in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. It's usually cheaper than the domestic (mainstream Red Bull) variety.
Energy Drink market is a new age market segment began producing wide category of functional beverages with exotic ingredients like Ginseng, Biloba, and Echinacea. Due to overwhelming response from the young, energetic consumers, these "Energy Drink" beverages become part of mainstream market. Because of the growing craze over energy drinks, the number of energy drink brands has been increasing steadily as everyone wants to take advantage of the expanding market. The demand for energy drinks could be a direct result of people's lives becoming busier. Although this market segment is small compared to other drinks segments such as soft drinks and alcohols, this is the fastest market category.
According to an article published on Beverage Daily, the market is expected to reach a sale of about $17 billion in 2007 alone and could reach $39.2 billion by 2010. The article further states that the Western hemisphere and Japan, leaders of the consumption of energy drinks, make up to 88% of the total global consumption . Although the energy drink is unlike many of the other successful beverage industries, Red Bull's innovation and timely product development continue to develop it into a profitable industry with great potential.
Red Bull blazed the U.S. energy trail when it set up shop in Santa Monica, California in 1997 and has remained the segment leader ever since. Red Bull enjoyed 10 years of success in the European market before bringing

Some may be under the impression that survival skills are only needed if you become lost or stranded in the wilderness. People living in urban environments may not believe they need to know where to find water, how to fish, forage for edibles or know how to start a fire. They may not believe it until a natural or man made disaster strikes and turns their city, town or community into a wasteland in a matter of minutes.
Regardless of the situation, the fundamentals remain the same for survival. You will need shelter, a water source, energy source, and food. Just because you have the fundamentals today does not mean you will have them tomorrow. You must have the knowledge, certain skill sets and mental fortitude to find life's essentials in any situation, and that includes urban environments.
Urban Preparedness
Contrary to what you might have seen on certain reality shows or have read on the Internet it is not likely you will awaken one day with just "the clothes on your back" and then are expected to survive the situation. Not many would under these circumstances, but humans have the ability to reason and plan so you do not find yourself in a situation with just the clothes on your back. You can look ahead and prepare yourself, and it is never too late to begin.
You are not planning for the end of the world or "doomsday," because what is there to plan for if the world ends. Essentially, you are preparing for the effects of a disaster and not so much the disaster itself, even though the disaster itself will be devastating the aftermath can be just as traumatic. The days after without electricity, gas for cooking and heating, disrupted water supply, civil unrest and the inability to travel are what you need to prepare for.
You are planning for a series of events, some of which may be insignificant and others can disrupt your life for weeks or even longer. You have to assume that any crisis will cripple the power grids, damage the infrastructure, and disrupt utility services.
Start with the basics. You have to realize that you probably will not be able to store enough food and water for a prolonged period so you have to know how to obtain more if the situation requires it. Stockpile between 14 and 21 days of supplies as a minimum.
It is assumed you would have the normal items found in most homes, such as cooking and eating utensils, personal hygiene items, and clothing and blankets so these types of items will be left off the list. For links to many of the following, check out our Zombie Bug Out Bag.
- Water for two weeks and if you plan to use dehydrated foods you will need additional water for reconstitution of the foods so add an additional gallon per day for each person, and up to three gallons per day per person if you are planning for extended periods
- Foods that can be eaten from the package or can. If using only canned goods each person will need one can of vegetables, one of fruit and one can of protein daily. Storage may become a problem with canned foods because of the sheer number of cans needed daily if you are stockpiling for extended periods, so consider supplemental food sources as well, such as dehydrated foods and Meals Ready to Eat (MREs)
- Medical supplies
- One gallon of unopened, unscented household bleach for emergency water purification
- Coffee filters/activated charcoal/sand/cheesecloth for water filtration
- Matches, lighters and alternative fire staring tools such as magnesium sticks and Ferro rods
- Shovel for digging portable latrines, and for clean up from the disaster
- Dusk masks, work gloves, eye protection and sturdy shoes for clean up
- Consider using orange/red garbage bags that can also be used for signaling rescue personnel
- Tarps, rolls of plastic, duct tape and possibly plywood sheets for emergency repairs to your home
- Alternative shelters such as tents that can be set up on your property if your home is damaged
- Personal protection
- Firearms for hunting and gear for fishing
- Communication devices other than cell phones or landlines, devices can include Walkie-Talkies or Citizens Band (CB) radios or even ham radios
- Flashlights and oil or propane fueled lanterns
- Water purification tablets
- Rain gear for each person
- Backpack for each individual
- Portable charcoal grill and/or camp stoves/gas grills
- Mylar/thermal emergency blankets for each member
- Firewood/charcoal/one pound propane bottles for camp stoves and heaters
- Optional items if space allows include portable chemical toilets or waste bags designed for waste, portable solar or fuel powered generators
For short periods, one gallon of water per day per individual is adequate for hydration, oral care and personal hygiene, but is not enough for cooking or laundry needs.
A simple wood or charcoal fire is the quickest source of energy and you can build a fire virtually anywhere outside your home if you have a portable charcoal grill. Even if you do not have a fireplace in your home, have an emergency stockpile of wood. Propane camp stoves and heaters are ideal for the short-term but once the fuel source is depleted, you will not have the means to resupply.
Urban Water Sources
You cannot know how long the crisis will extend in most cases, so regardless of your water supply you should attempt to gather more. Sources include private and public swimming pools, backyard hot tubs, public water features, ponds, lake and streams, which may be found in many public parks.
Any surface water source must be filtered and purified before it is considered safe to consume. Use coffee filters, sand, charcoal or even cloth to filter water.
Purification of Water by Boiling
The length of time water must boil for purification depends on your elevation. At higher elevations, water boils at a lower temperature because of a reduction in the air pressure. Lower water temperatures means the water has to boil longer to destroy the waterborne contaminates. Rapid boil for three minutes if there is any doubt in your mind as to your elevation. At sea level, water only needs to rapid boil for one minute. Boiling water for longer than is recommended does nothing to increase its purity. Over boiling will reduce water volume due to evaporation, which can be problematic if you have a limited water source.
Using Bleach for Water Purification
Make sure the bleach contains between 5.25 and 6.0 percent of sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) as an active ingredient. Do not use bleach that has any additives (thickening agents) that reduces splashing or adds fragrance. You will need an eye/medicine dropper for proper measurements. The ratio is eight drops per one gallon of water or two drops per quart/liter of water. Once added mix well and wait 30 minutes. Filtration, boiling or other purification methods will not remove poisons/toxins from the water.
Food Sources
Many cities and communities have public parks that have ponds and lakes. These waterways may be a source of fish and are a gathering place for waterfowl. All fresh water fish are edible as well as any type of bird or fowl found in the United States. The only bird in the world found to be toxic to humans is the Pitohui Bird species found only in New Guinea.
You need to know all applicable laws concerning the use of, carry laws and transportation of firearms in your community. If possible, it is recommended you hike to the outskirts of your community to hunt for food with a firearm in an emergency. Capturing ducks or geese or fishing in an urban setting should be considered if the situation is dire.
Remember the crisis will not last forever and you may be called to task to answer for your actions during the disaster.
Abandoned backyard or even community gardens may also be a source of food during a crisis and while it is not recommend that you raid gardens when people are still living in their homes, some may have evacuated because of the crisis. In an emergency, you should consider and weigh all options carefully.
Do not venture into commercials areas during any crisis. Looters and other criminal elements will be active in these areas. Stay inside your home, and do not allow anyone other than law enforcement personal inside your home unless directed to by the authorities.
However, do not barricade yourself inside your home to the point you cannot escape if there is a fire or possibly an intruder inside. You need to be able to exit your home quickly.
Being self-sufficient during any crisis is important because it means you do not have to travel about looking for supplies. Roadways and streets will be clogged with people attempting to flee, which will create a disaster of another sort. Sheltering in place is always recommended unless there is an immediate danger. You do not want to flee one crisis only to find yourself in another.
After the initial shock of the crisis wears off, people will begin to evaluate their situations and some may find they are ill prepared and once they become desperate they will be a threat to you and others. Aside from the crisis and the effects of it, the biggest threat you face in an urban environment is other humans.
Civil unrest is always a possibility in the days after a crisis. People will turn to their local authorities for help and when help is not available, some may turn against the local government. Demonstrations can turn into riots quickly and they must be avoided. Once anger is vented at city hall, the malcontents may focus on private businesses and other citizens.
Personal protection regardless of your position on firearms can save your life in a crisis or they can act as a deterrent to crime. Showing an intruder or violent demonstrator you are armed may cause them to move on to an easier target without the situation escalating. You have to face reality during a crisis, and that is people will be desperate and will act in ways you cannot predict. Friends, neighbors and strangers that are parents without food or water for their children will turn to violence in the name of providing for their family.

See?! I let The Beloved have some this morning before he left for work!
If you follow me on twitter or over on my facebook page, you may have noticed that I've been going On a bit about Moravian Sugar Cake. And, unless you are from central North Carolina (or maybe from the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania area), you have probably never heard of it.
I grew up in Charlotte, which is about an hour and a half or so from Winston-Salem. And because of that Proximity, I took it for granted that everyone ate Krispy-Kreme Donuts and had Moravian Sugar Cake for Christmas. See, many tasty things come from Winston.
The Moravians (or more correctly, the members of the Moravian Church) originally settled in central North Carolina from what is now The Czech Republic and Slovakia by way of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in the mid-ish 1700s. Old Salem has been restored and is maintained as a living history museum and National Historic Site. According to our friends at Wikipedia, about 70% of the buildings are original. Which means they're Old, at least by US standards.
But enough about the history. As far as Young Me (and Now Me, for that matter) was concerned, the whole Raison d'Etre of the Moravians in Old-Salem was to make Moravian Sugar Cake so I could Eat It. So, what is it, exactly? It kind of looks like focaccia, with a dimpled surface. It's a fairly thin yeast-raised sweet dough that is then positively buried under a pile of butter, sugar and a bit of cinnamon.
Many recipes that I researched contain potato, although the bakery that made the version I grew up eating does not use potato in their dough. Honestly, I think that is an anomaly (although it is tasty). Folks from Central and Eastern Europe like their potatoes, and they would certainly have used potatoes–or at least the water from cooking potatoes–in some of their breads.
A very soft dough, indeed. Beautiful.
Up until last Sunday, I had not had Moravian Sugar Cake in probably 20 years. But then, while drinking the Sleep Number Kool-Aid at the mall, we spied the Seasonal Moravian Bakery Stand. I made the Pleading Eyes at The Beloved, and he graciously allowed (ha!) me to purchase a 9″x9″ square of buttery-sugary goodness. I warned him that he probably wouldn't be allowed to have much for himself, but I don't think he believed me. Until I served both of us small pieces after dinner Sunday evening. Then, after work on Monday he came home to…No More Moravian Sugar Cake. Why? Because I had eaten the rest of it as I would have if it had been a Pizza. No fork–just folded it over and shoved it in my face. It wasn't pretty, and I'm not proud of the fact. But there it is. He appeared slightly startled.
My justification for eating it was to get it out of the house. The reasoning goes like this. "This stuff is The Devil. If this stays in the house, I will eat it all and get Very Large. I shall need the Stretchy Pants. Maybe even the Flappy Pants. I guess I'd better eat it so there won't be any left in the house and I'll be safe." Aristotle is still rolling over in his grave at my (let's call it) logic, but I Cannot fault myself.
So, then what do I do? I get all Selfless and decide that I Must make Moravian Sugar Cake to "give to the neighbors." Not to sit alone in bed like Bridget and eat more MSC like pizza. Of course not. It's not like I'm addicted or anything.
To make a long story slightly less long, I ended up making 4 jelly roll pans of Moravian Sugar Cake. Of which I have eaten 1/2 of one. Yes, that's roughly 108 square inches of buttery-sugary goodness that I no longer have to worry about. Because it is In Me.
Care to join me in Stretchy Pants Land? Make some yourself. And then call me when you find yourself eating it like pizza. I'll be your support group. You're welcome.
I checked out several recipes for Moravian Sugar Cake. The recipe I finally settled on is most similar to this recipe although I did make several changes.
If you want to forgo the baking, both Dewey's and Winkler's in Winston-Salem/Old Salem ship, although expect them both to be sold out close to the holidays.
It's fun to make your own, though, so I vote you go for it!
- 1/2 cup warm water (you can use the water from cooking the potatoes, if you want)
- 1 Tablespoon dried yeast
- 1 cup unseasoned mashed potatoes (just potatoes--no milk or butter or anything)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 5 1/2 ounces melted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 whole eggs
- 30-35 ounces all purpose flour , enough to make a soft, sticky dough
- 4 ounces melted butter
- 3/4-1 cup EACH white and light brown sugars (depending on how sugary you like things)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- several gratings of fresh nutmeg
- heavy pinch of fine salt
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, pour in the warm water and yeast. Stir for a minute or so to dissolve the yeast.
Add the potatoes, salt, sugar, butter, milk eggs and about half of the flour. Mix on low until you have a smooth batter.
Change to the dough hook, and add most of the remaining flour. Mix on low speed until combined, and then knead on medium speed for 5 minutes. Test the dough by pulling some up with your fingers. It should be very sticky and stretchy and almost-but-not-quite flow-y. If the dough doesn't have enough body, knead in the rest of the flour. Keep in mind that wetter is better than drier when it comes to yeast dough.
Once you are happy with your dough, remove the bowl from the mixer and smooth the top of the dough with a pan-sprayed hand or spatula.
Cover and let rise in a warm-ish place for about 1 1/2-2 hours, until doubled in size.
Spray 2 jelly roll pans with pan spray (I made one batch with parchment-lined trays and one without. The parchment isn't necessary for this, so you can skip it if you want.
Divide the dough in half (I weigh mine) and plop half on each of the prepared sheets. Spray your hands and the top of the dough with pan spray to keep it from sticking, and start stretching/patting/pulling the dough to fit each pan. Alternate between pans to give the dough a chance to relax and make it easier to stretch.
Once the dough is shaped, spray it again with a little pan spray and cover with a lint-free towel or plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, about an hour.
Set your oven racks for the bottom third and top thirds of your oven. Preheat oven to 400F (204C).
Whisk the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together very well.
Once the dough is puffy, dimple the dough all over with your fingers. You don't have to be gentle--it's okay if you break holes all the way through the dough, even. Just dimple it all over very, very well.
Liberally brush 2 ounces of melted butter over each cake. The butter should pool in the little dimples.
Sprinkle half the sugar mixture evenly over each cake. Be generous--you pretty much don't want to see any dough showing through the sugar.
Place the cakes on the racks and bake for 7 minutes.
Switch the cakes on the racks and bake for 7 more minutes.
Remove to racks to cool for a few minutes.
With a large spatula and maybe some help, slide the cakes out onto cooling racks so the bottoms don't get soggy. Slice however you think appropriate.
Serve warm.
Store at room temperature. If you're not going to eat all of this the same day, wrap the cakes well and freeze them.
Moravian Treats and More
Here are some recommendations for a stand mixer–you really need one for this recipe–gorgeous Moravian stars I grew up with in North Carolina as well as some other truly delicious Moravian treats you can purchase, at least seasonally. These are affiliate links. Thank you for your support of PCO!
No, Sam, sugar cake and potato pancakes are not for foster kitty. I don't care how
handsome you are; the answer is no.
Oh, and if you ever happen to have leftover Moravian Sugar Cake, you must try my Moravian Sugar Cake Baked French Toast. It is incredibly good!
And that does it. I do hope you make the sugar cake so I won't be Alone in Shame. And as this is my last post before Christmas, I again wish all of you the Very Best Holiday Celebration Ever.
Enjoy, and have a lovely day.

Surfside 6th Grader conjures up magic scholarship
Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:01:05 GMT —
A girl from Surfside Beach has discovered the magic of hard work and dedication to her craft.
Her expertise in the art of sleight of hand won her a chance to hone her skills with the best in the magic business.
Elizabeth Scalf looks like any other student when she's in class at the Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach.
But take her out of the classroom and she magically transforms into Lizzy C, master of prestidigitation.
Lizzy is so good at her magic abilities, she recently earned a one week Siegfried and Roy legacy scholarship to attend Jeff McBride's Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas, where she was one of only two girls and, at 12 years old, the youngest student by far.
"The next youngest person there was actually 19 years old, so there was a big difference," Lizzy said.
Lizzy got started doing magic in second grade, when she wanted to be in a talent show at school. She asked her grandfather, a professional magician, to teach her a few illusions.
"I liked it a lot, so I decided to keep on going," she said.
Proud grandpa Ed Hagins says Lizzy could go far in the magic trade, if she chooses.
"The professional magicians give her great scores, especially at her age," said Hagins.
But since she's only in the sixth grade, it's a little early to think about becoming the next David Copperfield.
"We've made a point of talking with her that this is not a time in her life to make that kind of decision," he said.
Whether or not she ever goes pro, Lizzy says she'll always keep doing magic at least as a hobby.
In the meantime, she'll work on honing an act for birthday parties and look forward to the day when all her effort will start to pay off.
"My first paying gig is this summer at a magic convention in Washington, DC," she said.
Hagins and her mom, a teacher at the Christian Academy, say Lizzy is learning skills that will help in life, regardless of what she decides to do for a living.
What Lizzy likes to do right now is entertain.
"Just being able to make people ask me, 'How did you do that?' "

The BBA Group sold its Signature Aircraft Engineering rotorcraft maintenance business and Signature Helicopters charter operation to the UK's McAlpine group for an undisclosed sum. The companies, which are based, respectively, at Blackbushe and Denham Airports in southern England, will be combined with McAlpine's existing aviation services subsidiaries with annual revenues of around $23 million.
Following the deal, helicopter charter and management firm McAlpine Aviation Services will be merged with Signature Helicopters and will trade under the name PremiAir Aviation from a headquarters at Hayes in the London area. Signature Aircraft Engineering will be rebranded as PremiAir Aircraft Engineering.
BBA has retained ownership of its Signature Aircraft Engineering fixed-wing maintenance operations at Oxford, Southampton, Bournemouth and Luton Airports in the UK. It has also kept its Luton-based fixed-wing charter/management arm, which now includes a new Falcon 2000 that was delivered in August. The company sold the last of its own charter fleet last year, when it chose to dispose of a Hawker 800 rather than having to foot the bill for upgrading it for RVSM operations.
BBA's European aviation service interests also include Signature Flight Support, with FBOs at London Luton and Paris Le Bourget Airports. It is developing a new business aviation terminal at Toulon-Hyeres Airport in southern France.

Umm so, I dont like the fake-time updates to the actual blog because I blog on the fly, or realtime. So, I'll double over the entries to this and hopefully people will get to read whats happening when its happening and maybe help with some insight. For those of you who dont know me, which I presume to be a lot of you, my name is Gerard. I'm a poor student who loves a little action on the poker tables. I burned through three deposits since joining pokerstars in January totalling 300 dollars, after which I joined PSO, took my fpps-won a satellite, took tourny dollars. The tourny dollars are gone now and my BR went from 20 to currently about 60 dollars. So thats where I stand!
Anyway, I'm a week into joining PSO.
Here's my latest update.
played about an hour and a half of 1.50 HU hyper-turbos. I understand the varience and alloted a five loss structure before I quit. If I lose, I had to win to counter it. If the losses amount to five, then I quit. If im in the positive, it wouldnt count as a +1, it would just be even. Only negatives would be added to the balance, with positives striking them from record. This worked, and I ended up quitting +1 buyin in the end. My sharkscope SNG player rating went down though. I found that strange, but I dont really care.
I've decided for the first session today that I'm going to play $1-dollar 90-player SNG's. Its more in tune with my BR, and I'm looking to make a decent ascent today vs a decline yesterday. I'm in my first one now, and I've got a healthy stack early. I need to control myself and not chip off too many with mediocre hands. I'll update with the result.

Most people who follow draft prospects carefully knew this wasn't going to be a strong year for the QMJHL.
Scouts said from the start of the 2013-14 season that it was a thin crop with very little star talent at the top end. There were only 17 Q players selected at the NHL draft in Philadelphia last weekend, down from 31 last year. There was just one player taken in the first round and a measly five in the top 100. But despite all that, there were a few bright spots.
Up first was another stellar year for the Halifax Mooseheads at the top. The Winnipeg Jets picked Danish sniper Nikolaj Ehlers ninth overall, making it two years in a row a Halifax player was first to be taken. As most people already know, Nathan MacKinnon went first overall to the Colorado Avalanche a year ago and Halifax teammate Jonathan Drouin was picked third by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
As crazy as it might sound, I feel Ehlers was a bit of a steal at No. 9. There was a clear top four this year and then there was a second tier, according to scouts. But I maintain Ehlers is just as skilled as anyone in the 2014 crop and perhaps the biggest game-breaker of them all.
His size probably kept him from going a few spots higher — he's five-foot-11 but just 165 pounds. But I'm certain he will pack on 20 or so pounds by the time he's a pro. Every player picked ahead of him is a worthy prospect, but I just think the sky's the limit for Ehlers.
Of all the Q players taken, Francis Perron of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, Daniel Audette of the Sherbrooke Phoenix and Ivan Barbashev of the Moncton Wildcats were the best value picks.
Audette has great hockey genes. His father Donald had a 15-year NHL career, including parts of three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. Donald is now a scout with the Habs, and they picked his kid in the fifth round.
Like his dad, Daniel is on the small side but he's a skilled, cerebral player.
Barbashev went into the draft looking every bit like a lock to go in the first round. Scouts loved his two-way game and looked at him as a prospect with low bust potential.
But perhaps because he didn't have the same flash as some of the other top players or maybe because scouts held his Russian roots against him, Barbashev slid to the second round. The Blues quickly scooped him up 33rd overall, which is tremendous value, in my opinion.
But the biggest heist of all was Perron going to the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round. He's a smooth skater and a deadly shooter from his off wing. He's also a smart play maker with plenty of room to improve.
Also, how about the St. Louis Blues taking Victoriaville Tigres forward Samuel Blais in the sixth round? He's only played in 25 career major junior games, all this year, and wasn't even on any scouting lists. You can't get much more unknown than that.
It was a classy gesture by the Arizona Coyotes to acknowledge Norm Gosselin before making their first-round pick.
Gosselin spent the past few years in the Coyotes' scouting department but passed away just before the draft. He was a mainstay in the QMJHL scouting community, playing a huge part in building the Saint John Sea Dogs' recent dynasty. He was also a Q general manager for a number of years and widely respected around the league. Kudos to Arizona GM Don Maloney for his kind remarks at the podium.

In reply to: The broken link: What has ND's football tradition meant to you? posted by Board Ops
The other thing that did it for me was when my father took me, my brother, and our parish priest (who God forbid, was an SC fan) to an ND-SC game in the Coliseum. I don't have the media guide with me here out of town to consult, but I do remember being around 8 years old, so it had to have been 1954 or so, and it was raining like hell. I was crying because the Irish were losing and I was soaking wet. Watching them play like hell, like Notre Dame men, did it for me right then. I was going to Notre Dame. I wanted to be a part of that. After the game, I was walking fast trying to keep up with my group and I wasn't looking straight ahead. I ran right into a telephone pole with the side of my face. All the way back to Bakersfield, in the back of a dark car, I was drying off, picking splinters out of my face. My father and Father Logan talked about the game.
God damn, the LA Coliseum is a great place to watch college football. We have many ghosts in many closets, but there is always 1988 and 1986 to remember. Our big W's. And our Alamo's: 1964, 1970, 1974, 1978, and especially Michael Harper's fantom touchdown in 1982.
Regardless of the year or two before, ND always came back into the lion's den for more.
Being an Irish fan means never having to say you're a pussy.

and section number. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four letters.
See the
man(1) reference page for more information on suffixes.
The following terms are used in Section 2: An integer assigned by the system when a file is referenced by the open, dup, or pipe calls, or a socket is referenced by the socket or socketpair calls. The descriptor uniquely identifies an access path to that file or socket from a given process or any of its children. A directory is a special type of file that contains references to other files, called links. By convention, a directory contains at least two links called dot (.) and dot-dot (..). Dot refers to the directory itself and dot-dot refers to its parent directory. Access to system resources is governed by the effective user ID, the effective group ID, and the group access list.
Most system calls have one or more return values. An error condition
is indicated by an otherwise impossible return value. This value is usually -1. All return codes and values from functions are of
type int unless otherwise noted.
When a function returns an error condition, it also stores an error number in the external variable errno. This variable is not cleared on successful calls. Thus, you should test errno only after an error has occurred. Refer to errno(5) for information about using the errno variable. The remainder of this section lists in alphabetical order the symbolic codes for errno values, along with associated messages and explanations. Some codes represent more than one type of error. For example, [E2BIG] can indicate that the specified argument size has exceeded the system limit of ARG_MAX, or that the specified number of sembuf structures has exceeded a predefined limit. Indicates that the specified argument and environment lists exceed the system limit of ARG_MAX bytes, or the number of bytes in the message exceeds the predefined limit. Indicates that the requested operation did not have the proper access permissions. This error may also indicate one or more of the following: The named file is not an ordinary file (acct()). The operation would cause the parent directory or process's information level to float such that it would no longer be dominated by the directory or process's sensitivity level. The requested file is not available for read or write access. The process is attempting to mount on a multilevel child directory. The value of the process ID argument matches the process ID of a child process of the calling process and the child process has successfully executed one of the exec functions (setpgid()). The function is trying to manipulate two files on two different file systems. An open with write mode has been attempted to a write protected tape. Indicates that the specified address is already in use. Indicates that the specified address is not available from the local machine. Indicates that the addresses in the specified address family are not supported by the protocol family. Indicates that the requested resource, such as a lock or a process, is temporarily unavailable. This error may also indicate one or both of the following: If the O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the requested function, the process would be delayed in a read or write operation. The specified time has elapsed (pthread_cond_timedwait()). Indicates that an operation was attempted on a non-blocking object for which an operation was already in progress. Indicates that a socket or file descriptor parameter is invalid. Indicates that the next STREAMS message is of the wrong type. Indicates that the NFS has encountered a Remote Procedure Call request or response that is invalid or that cannot be decoded. Indicates one or more of the following errors: The requested element is currently unavailable, or the associated system limit was exceeded. For NFS files, the requested device or directory is in use by another process. Indicates that a pending AIO (asynchronous input/output) operation was canceled. Indicates either that the child process does not exist, or that the requested child process information is unavailable. Indicates that the software caused a connection abort because there is no space on the socket's queue and the socket cannot receive further connections. Indicates that the connection request was refused. Indicates that a connection was forcibly reset (closed) by a peer. The situation normally results when a timeout or a reboot causes the loss of the connection on the remote socket. Indicates either a probable deadlock condition, or that the requested lock is owned by someone else. Indicates that a required destination address was omitted from an operation on a socket. Indicates an attempt to mount a dirty file system, one on which a consistency check has not or cannot be made. A dirty file system can be mounted by force only if the M_FMOUNT flag is included on the mount() call. Indicates that x and/or y are either Not a Number (NaN), or that they are in some other way unacceptable (for example, they exceed system limits). A write has failed because the user's disk block quota is exhausted or an open that would create a file has failed because the user's inode quota is exhausted. Indicates that the request element (for example, a file or a semaphore) already exists. Indicates that the requested address is in some way invalid, for example, out of bounds. Indicates either that the file size exceeds the process's file size limit, or that the requested semaphore number is invalid. Valid semaphore numbers are greater than 0 (zero) and less than the specified number of semaphores. Indicates that a socket operation failed because the destination host was down. Indicates that a socket operation failed because no route could be found to the host. Indicates that the requested semaphore or message queue ID has been removed from the system. Indicates that a wide character code does not correspond to a valid character or an invalid multibyte character sequence was detected. Indicates that a lengthy operation on a non-blocking object is now in progress. Indicates that an interruptible function's process was interrupted by a signal that the process caught. Indicates that an invalid argument was passed to the function (such as, the requested argument does not exist or is out of bounds or is not a regular file, or that the result would be invalid). This error may also indicate one or more of the following: The requested socket is not accepting connections (accept()) or is already bound (bind()). The specified superblock had a bad magic number or a block size that was out of range (mount()). The requested parameter is a lock/unlock parameter, but the element to be locked is already locked/unlocked (plock()). The kernel has not been compiled with the QUOTA option (quota()). An attempt was made to ignore or supply a handler for the SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, and SIGCONT signals (sigaction()). The requested device was not configured as a swap device or does not allow paging (swapon()). The requested device is not mounted or local (mount()). Indicates one of the following: A read or write physical I/O error. These errors do not always occur with the associated function, but can occur with the subsequent function. The requested parameter does not have an appropriate value, or is invalid (ptrace()). On a terminal, EIO means the following: the process is running in the background, the process did a write() to its controlling terminal, and TOSTOP is set on the terminal, but the process is neither ignoring nor blocking SIGTTOU, and the process group of the process is orphaned, i.e. a child of pid 1. Indicates that the socket is already connected. Indicates either that the request was for a write access to a file but the specified filename was actually a directory, or that the function was trying to rename a directory as a file. Indicates that too many links were encountered in translating a pathname. Indicates one or more of the following errors: Too many file descriptors are open (exceeding OPEN_MAX). No space remains in the mount table. The attempt to attach a shared memory region exceeded the maximum number of attached regions allowed for any one process.

You can write a very simple patch returns socket FD using PQsocket(). But, AFAIC, it's not as simple as it seems to listen a socket using just its FD value. As I understand from the source code, resource required by socket_open() function has its own internal struct representation, which means you need to be familiar with PHP internal data types and mechanism before writing a patch. Therefore, it's not impossible to implement such a feature, but, to be honest, it needs a hard work. IMHO, you can enter a loop with pg_last_notice() by using usleep(). I won't think it'd cost so much system resource for you. Regards.

I will never watch scifi on ABC. In the last few years their record has been horrible about ending them. They leave us on a cliffhanger with no ending in site. First Kyle XY then V sorry ABC never again.
Am I the only one that thinks they should stop putting shows up against Castle and Hawaii Five 0. The hotness/geek factor of Nathan Fillion alone is enough to take spot one on the DVR and Alex O'Laughlin is... well he is. Now they want to throw a JJ Abrams show up against them. Come on not fair. I only have two spots avail on the DVR. Isn't there a reality show no one wants to watch you can put that show up against like American Idol, or The Apprentice, or America's Next Top Model?
I plan on watching Elementary, just to see how it compares to the British version. I may watch Arrow as well.

With Virginia's early-season struggles on offense, Mike London and his coaching staff have looked for ways to shake up the plan of attack and in some cases, change the personnel.
Although the Cavaliers have made changes on the offensive line and at wide receiver, quarterback David Watford has been trusted to right the ship for the Wahoos. And in the last couple of games, the Hampton native is showing steady improvement.
In his fourth career start at Pittsburgh on September 28, Watford had his worst outing of the season. The redshirt sophomore signal caller completed just 40.5 percent of his passes, throwing for 123 yards and failing to reach the end zone. He also mishandled a snap deep in his own territory, which led to a turnover and eventually a Panther touchdown.
The following week, in a 48-27 loss at home to Ball State, Watford showed improvement. He passed for 209 yards and moved the ball considerably better than the offense did in any other games this season against FBS competition. He even had a highlight-worthy touchdown run from 27 yards where he leaped for the goal line and just barely broke the plane.
This past weekend on the road against Maryland, Watford had the best game of his short career. Completing 27 of 44 passing attempts, he set a career high in passing yardage (263), rushed for 34 yards on seven attempts, and was credited with an impressive touchdown on a heads-up, self-aware play that was drew the respect of even his harshest critics.
It's no coincidence that in having his best game of the year Watford also had his first turnover-free outing of the season.
With six career starts under his belt, Watford is still getting a feel for the college game but he is feeling more comfortable every time he goes on the field.
"I feel like week to week, my confidence is rising," Watford said this week. "With each game I'm able to see defenses better, the game is slowing down for me more. Coach [Steve] Fairchild is showing more confidence in me in the play calls. I feel like it's just getting better."
Watford can tell the difference from the beginning of the season until now and feels that the more experience he gets in Fairchild's offense, the more he'll be able to dictate the game to the opposing defenses.
"When the game slows down you're able to see things before they happen and it just becomes, easier and easier and easier," he added.
Before taking the reigns of the Cavaliers' offense this season, Watford took a redshirt in 2012 as he sat and watched now departed quarterbacks Michael Rocco and Phillip Sims. Though he learned a lot by watching from the sidelines and working out with the scout team, there really is no substitute for live game experience.
He's grateful he was able to get some experience as a freshman, when he played in just about every game, before being charged with commanding the offense this year.
"I made some mistakes but I was able to learn from those mistakes and continue to grow," Watford said of his playing experience in 2011. "That's the most important thing at the end of the day, just continued growth and learning the game."
There's no doubt that turnovers, and specifically interceptions, have plagued him during the first part of this season. A big part of his continued improvement has been his ability to cut down on those errors.
Of his seven interceptions on the season, all but one came in the first three games. Since then, the former Crabber has thrown just one. The starting quarterback has an ultimatum from the coaching staff to play with maximum effort, and not be afraid to make a mistake here or there.
"Coach London stressed the whole week, 'If you make a mistake do it 100 miles per hour, just go out there play your game, and leave it all on the field', and I felt like I did that," Watford said of Saturday's results in College Park.
One big part of Virginia's early-season struggles on offense was the fact that Watford has not had a ton of help from his wide receiving core and nobody really became his "go to guy." That seems to have changed, after Jake McGee re-emerged for the Cavaliers against Maryland.
The junior tight end led UVa with eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown grab. Watford and McGee have built a great relationship off the field and that connection could be big for Virginia's passing game going forward into the second half of this season.
"He's a big target, he's fast, he catches the ball well," Watford explained. "Jake and I, we've put in a lot of time off the field. We spent a lot of time in the offseason around each other, just building that chemistry off the field as well as on the field.
"I have a lot of trust in "The Kid" and he trusts me as well. It's been there the whole time and we've just been waiting to show it on the field."
Watford has been consistently praised by his teammates and coaches for his leadership and preparation in game weeks. When he sat out last season, he saw a team that had issues in those two areas come apart, losing six straight games en route to its second 4-8 record in three seasons.
Now that he's one of the vocal leaders, Watford said he knows the type of attitude the team must have from week to week, regardless of results.
"As a team we just have to stick together," he said. "That was really one of the things last year, as things went south, guys started to fall apart and you could see it. When it turned bad everything went bad. Football isn't an easy sport. You've got to keep fighting, keep pushing.
"We have the guys to do that and guys really buy into that idea. I can take the effort from that Maryland game any time. We made mistakes, we didn't play our best game but we fought, that's the most important thing. We can correct the mistakes and build off of that stuff but that's the type of effort we have to bring to every game."
Although the effort was there, the result was not. With the season in the balance, Watford is motivated by the team's struggles to turn the momentum of the program around and find ways to win. A player who is motivated to improve, Watford began that process right after the final seconds ticked off at Byrd Stadium, on what was surely a long, solemn trip back to Charlottesville.
"That bus ride definitely was silent," he recalled. "Nobody talked. I sat back there in the back, had my headphones on watching the film the whole time, looking at the plays, stuff we could've or should've done.
"That taste is something we'll just have to keep in the back of our heads. We really were that close to winning that game. We have to remember every single play, every single rep that we get, every single drill we do, that feeling we felt when we walked off the field with that loss."

In yet another display of ignorance, a recent poll by Public Policy Polling shows that 49% of Republicans surveyed blame the now defunct organization ACORN for President Obama's victory in November. The culture of ignorance that has been cultivated by the GOP over the last thirty years is absolutely astounding. I'm sure many of you remember the study that showed Fox News viewers were actually less informed than people that watched no news at all; the PPP poll is yet another symptom of the greater illness that infects the GOP.

The Pacific Design Center, or PDC, is a 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) multi-use facility for the design community located in West Hollywood, California. One of the buildings is often described as the Blue Whale because of its outsize nature relative to surrounding buildings and its brilliant blue glass cladding.
Site and Brief[edit]
The PDC houses the West Coast's top decorating and furniture market, with showrooms, public and private spaces, a branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and two restaurants operated by chef and restaurateur Wolfgang Puck. The Center has 130 showrooms which display and sell 2,100 interior product lines to professional interior designers, architects, facility managers, decorators and dealers.[1]
The Pacific Design Center hosts many screenings, exhibitions, lectures, meetings, special events and receptions for the design, entertainment and arts communities. The annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party has traditionally been held at the PDC. The party is one of the longest running and best known of the post-Oscar parties as well as being a multi-million dollar fundraiser for the foundation.[2]
Designed by Argentinean architect Cesar Pelli, the 14-acre (57,000 m2) campus opened in 1975, with the 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) Center Blue. Center Green opened in 1988, adding 450,000 square feet (42,000 m2). A long planned third phase, Center Red, was announced in April 2006, with plans for completion in 2011. Center Red has evolved into a 400,000-square-foot (37,000 m2) structure with two state-of-the-art office towers—six and eight stories high respectively—sitting atop seven levels of enclosed parking for 1,500 cars.[citation needed]

It would put $20 million into research of existing stem cells. Democrats failed in an effort to include embryonic stem cells.
"There are couples who have been through this process who have leftover embryos who would like to make the very difficult decision of donating them to research," said Tallahassee Rep. Loranne Ausley (D). "I think that decision should be made by the donors."
"We've got a very limited amount of money and we want to really focus that like a laser onto research that has been working," said Miami Rep. Anitere Flores (R). "Also there's nothing in this bill that would criminalize the process of embryonic stem cell research. Private organizations will still be free to move forward with that research."
A bill under consideration in the Senate (SB 750) would include embryonic cells in state-funded research.

During your child's stay at the hospital, your child's medical care team may include some of the following medical and support professionals.
A pediatric hospitalist is a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in the care of hospitalized infants, children, and adolescents. Hospitalists serve as the attending doctors, working closely with medical, surgical, and emergency medicine specialists, making sure inpatients receive well-coordinated, compassionate care.
The hospitalist physicians at Children's National ensure that every inpatient is monitored and cared for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Children's hospitalists attend to more than 15,000 inpatients each year, treating children with both common and complex health conditions. Because hospitalists are able to continuously reevaluate your child's condition, they can quickly follow-up on any complications, ensuring timely testing, treatment, and discharge.
While your child is a patient at Children's National, the hospitalist's primary role is to look after your child. Our hospitalists work in consultation with your child's pediatrician to supervise and coordinate all areas of your child's care.
Despite being one of the busiest clinical services at the hospital, Children's hospitalists also have an important academic role in resident and student teaching, as well as in research.
Children's National Health System is a teaching hospital, which means it partners with medical schools and plays an important role in training doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. Our hospital has become one of the most respected and most desired training centers in the country for children's medical care. The team caring for your child may include fellows or residents who are doctors receiving advanced training in a specific area of medicine. This means that your child may be seen by several different people. Any interns, residents, or fellows are medical school graduates, and they are supervised by our specialists and attending doctors.
Children's National also is one of the top research institutes in the country. There are more than 300 scientists and doctors who work with our Children's Research Institute (CRI) to improve child health and well-being. Through our affiliations with leading research organizations around the country, including the National Institutes of Health, we are able to offer our patients and families the most advanced treatments available. We also can frequently offer access to clinical trials. However, no child is ever included in a clinical trial without a thorough description of what is involved. Parent or guardian consent is required for any patient to be included in clinical trials, and participation is always voluntary.
