[RsEvTi25] Ah reality… it is more complicated than what you think it is.
Here are some interesting documentaries for now:
» BBC Horizon's What is Reality ( 2011 ) | Use Torrents
» Stephen Hawking's Grand Design: The Meaning of Life ( July 2012 ) | YouTube Link
» The Universe Season 07 Episode 05 Microscopic Universe | YouTube Link
Have fun..!
Sometimes I wonder if that is true.
That part where 'no other species wonder about the meaning of existence…'
What if, the trees, spreading their arms, always gazing at the universe in silence since our planet was young… are always in awe with the cosmic view.
What if they figured it out already, yet in their current forms, have no means of sharing it with us.
Or… what if they have been telling us already but we are not capable of hearing.
Or we don't listen at all.
Like our human eyes which can only view a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, we haven't fully developed our hearing yet to adjust to their communication frequencies.
Same holds true with the other life forms.
And we're not even going to the dolphins as of the moment.
Dolphins deserve a thread of their own.
Just last month ( August 2012 ) there are articles in the 'net that show that animals do have consciousness. Hare are some links:
» io9.com Prominent scientists sign declaration that animals have conscious awareness, just like us
» ScientificAmerican.com Octopuses Gain Consciousness (According to Scientists' Declaration)
» HUFFINGTONPost.com Consciousness Is Everywhere
Second Albert Einstein quote. Einstein needs no introduction.
In a way, these words from Einstein is what the Lightworkers are cultivating.
More on lightworkers in future posts.
Let's not go into the topic of Genetic Manipulation yet.
Just a Genie for now.
This is the second appearance of this confused Genie. ( First one here. )
It will not be the last : )
[RvsKL27] In case you haven't noticed yet, since the FillerAE sub-chapter, the minifigs are growing self awareness, which would probably lead to cosmic awakening and Galactic consciousness.
Or whatever its equivalent is in their minifig world.
But it was starting already with these bunch of guys. ( … part II here… part III here and IV here ( That's a four part arc ))
I also have this in mind when I introduced Mr. Jes.
This is where CHAPTER02 is going. I made that clear during the first CH02 post.
Science and the universe, with a mix of spirituality here and there and some U2 lyrics.
Yes… they can be mixed… : )
Nikola Tesla is the real deal… the greatest geek who have ever lived.
Here's a very cool TED presentation on Nikola Tesla by virtual magician/techno-illusionist, Marco Tempest.
And here's a Nikola Tesla video from StuffTheyDon'tWantYouToKnow.
Maybe, there were no ancient aliens… but rather, ancient superhumans using 'Tesla technology' we still have to rediscover.
Speaking of Marco Tempest, here's another cool 'electronic magic' from him.
Cool guy, this Marco dude.
You first saw these guys above here. This current post is a close up version.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a rock star astrophysicist.
He's also an internet meme.
Yup that " Watch out, we got a badass over here. " one.
More on Neil later. For now here's his article from 2007… The Cosmic Perspective.
Sometimes you read too many books and articles. You begin to discover things.
Probably something mind-blowing… life changing.
You suddenly think you're better than the rest of them humans.
Think again.
For one, you're not even sure if what you have read is really the truth.
Secondly… truth is a multi-layered illusion. Peel one layer, another one will be revealed.
Just be humble.
[SS_005] I read that Albert Einstein's quote above inside Dudley C. Gould's Science and The Soul book.
I wanted to include the full excerpt here but I can't seem to find the exact quotes that I read in the book.
I later realized that Gould combined and deleted some lines in between indicated by the '…' parts.
Also there are quite a number of versions of this quote from Einstein already. I'll just link you to this Albert Einstein's Religion and Science article.
I also first read the quote in the previous FillerAE 028 post from this book from Gould.
You previously saw these guys here.
But they're everywhere… including the first LEGO Attendance Photoshoot which in a way started this website.
BTw… here are some space/universe/science related sites that serve as a source of my inspiration these days:
» space.com
» The Universe ( Tv show ( You can find full episodes in YouTube and torrents of course ))
» APOD ( Astronomy Picture of the Day ) / FaceBook.APOD
» Facebook.com\ScienceisAwesome ( I Fucking Love Science )
» YouTube.com ( Figure this one out : )
Welcome to LEGOmatics Chapter 02.
After taking three years and 150 posts to complete CHAPTER 01, and 60 daily filler posts after, I decided to start on this chapter.
I am still hoping I could do this daily.
Besides, this has been a daily thing since May this year after struggling to make things consistent with the first 90+ posts.
But let's be realistic… a daily update is something hard to do.
And I'm aiming to have a centralized theme this time with CHAPTER 02.
Unlike the randomness of the previous chapter and fillers.
A theme unified towards mysteries, space and universe, with spirituality in the mix. Ancient aliens, conspiracy theories and 'real' science here and there, cosmic awakening and Galactic consciouness included, and probably a personal journeying inwards again.
The whole chapter might even be a documented journeying inwards of mine.
Who knows.
Let's see where will this lead us.

According to the roughly gazillion complaints we received this morning upon the launch of Apple's Mac App Store, users are seeing the ol' "unknown error occurred (100)" message when first launching the store after the upgrade. According to TUAW, it's a problem with the iTunes Terms and Conditions -- which some users aren't getting prompted to accept, hence the error message. What should you do if you get the error? Quit the store and reload it. If that doesn't work, folks are finding that rebooting and then launching the store again does the trick.

Did I want this tray (too small to carry anything actually useful on)? As soon as I saw it on Trouva, my new favourite homeware/lifestyle site, I can say that YES, I wanted it very much. Pathetically, I thought about it day and night, and eventually bought it, because when one important person comes round and wants one cup of tea with absolutely nothing else, brought to them without me actually touching it, I'll be ready.

Norwalk man sets sights on Congress
NORWALK -- Rob Merkle filed papers to enter the 4th Congressional District race, making the 40-year-old city resident the fourth Republican vying to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich, next year.
Merkle, who has never run for elected office, will contend against State Sen. Dan Debicella of Shelton, Will Gregory of New Canaan and Rob Russo of Bridgeport for the GOP nomination to oppose Himes.
Himes is serving his first term representing the 4th District, which covers most of lower Fairfield County and Oxford in New Haven County.
"I've been thinking about this since earlier this year," Merkle said in a phone interview. "I started getting more and more vocal about what I'd seen happening (in the country), and then one day my wife looked at me and told me to stop talking about it and to go run."
Merkle, president of Management Recruiters of Westport, LLC, an executive search firm in Norwalk, is angry over the details of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, saying the stimulus plan hasn't worked.
Merkle believes much of the stimulus money will fund initiatives with long-term returns, such as infrastructure projects, when the country needs more immediate assistance, he said. The plan should have contained more tax breaks or other incentives for small businesses, Merkle said.
In contrast, Himes has touted the benefits of the stimulus plan.
Elizabeth Kerr, Himes' communications director, pointed to the Norwalk Community Health Center as an example of how the program is working.
"If he (Merkle) wants to take back the $1.3 million that went to the Norwalk Community Health Center from the recovery act, he'll have to answer to the more than 6,000 new patients and at least six new employees the center was able to serve and hire as a result of the recovery act," Kerr said.
"Additionally," she said, "he might want to check with GE Capital and see what they thought of the $85 million capital market tax credit the recovery act provided to the company."
In a memo to 4th District businesses, Hime said the ARRA "contains a combination of tax and spending provisions to help small businesses weather the economic downturn."
Stimulus plan tax provisions designed to boost job growth include bonus depreciation and debt buyback. Another component is small business expensing, which doubles the amount of money small businesses can immediately write off on their tax returns for capital investments and new equipment purchases.
Equally important, according to Himes, is the more than $700 million in small business loans the ARRA provides to free up capital and leverage billions in small business investment.
Discussing other issues, Merkle expressed concern about government spending, which he believes has spiraled out of control. He also said some type of health care reform is needed, but it cannot reduce people's choices.
Merkle called the current tax structure "unsustainable" and said the country must address its inadequate border security. However, he said any heightened immigration laws must be "rational." Laws must allow for the continuation of the melting pot that has fostered innovation and the unique composition of America's population, Merkle said.
Citing recent government intervention on behalf of troubled automakers and financial institutions, Merkle said he's seeing "a government takeover of private industry," a disturbing trend which must stop.
Merkle also criticized Himes, saying the freshman representative has voted in "lockstep with the administration for anything that's been put in front of him."
"What I'm hearing is that people want a fresh perspective," Merkle said.
Kerr defended Himes, saying he has "led the charge" -- particularly among freshman representatives -- to delay voting on the president's controversial health care proposal.
"Himes has the most independent voting record in the Connecticut delegation," she said.

Posted September 21, 2008on:
I have just finished reading 'Finance On A Beermat' by King, Macklin & West (2006) published by Random House. I have also given it to our CEO as homework!
It is a nifty little text explaining the basic principles of finance for anyone in a small to medium sized business who has been too baffled or bored to work them out. It is aimed specifically at those entrepreneurs who tend to be more creative than financially minded. I think however it is a great read for anyone who wants to understand what the finance person in an organisation is up to and get to grips with the salient points of the financial information that they produce.
I understand that it is one of a series and intend to investigate the others….

Is it possible for a wheelchair to be revolutionary? We think so. The Icon is adjustable to let you "dial-in" that perfect fit. You don't need to worry about having to choose permanent specifications that can never be changed after a chair is built.
Your body and your needs are always changing. Your Icon's geometry will change with you, ensuring a perfect fit right now, and for years to come.
Our suspension design allows it to be set to your exact weight. The compression and rebound can both be tuned to reduce fatigue and give you a custom ride over the bumps of everyday life. There is also a lock-out option for those times when you don't want suspension.
The modularity of the Icon offers flexibility to change every component, including wheel sizes, and maintain the geometry that's best for you.

It is not poison or a dagger that takes the lives of the young lovers, but a suicide bomb. The Montagues and Capulets are divided not just by family, but also by religious sect. And the dialogue in the Iraqi adaptation of �Romeo and Juliet� is sprinkled with references to Blackwater, Iranians and the U.S. reconstruction effort.
After a recent performance here at the National Theater, where the dramatic arts were once degraded to serve as a dictator�s propaganda, the audience filed out buzzing over the return of serious art to the Iraqi capital. Cloaked as a Shakespearean classic was a lively rendering of their own lives over the last nine years.
�It was about our reality, the killing that happened between the Sunnis and Shias,� said Senan Saadi, a university student who was in the audience.
The killing, of course, still happens. The morning after the show, explosions were heard in Baghdad. By the end of the day, a string of attacks around the country had left nearly three dozen people dead. By then, the cast of the play, including veteran Iraqi actors and young up-and-comers, was preparing to leave for the World Shakespeare Festival in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare�s birthplace.
�Romeo and Juliet in Baghdad� opened Thursday at the festival and runs for 10 days as part of the cultural program linked with the coming London Olympics. Its story line of a doomed cross-sectarian love affair manages to touch on nearly every element of the recent collective Iraqi experience.
That it garnered many laughs � especially over the buffoonish al-Qaida character in an explosives-laden vest, who is Paris, Juliet�s failed suitor, in Shakespeare�s original � and plenty of tears, too, is perhaps a small sign that Iraqi society is beginning to reconcile with the trauma of the war.
�Romeo, he doesn�t see Juliet for nine years,� explained Monadhil Daood, a famous Iraqi actor and playwright who is directing the play and spent two years writing the script. �At their first meeting they talk about the conflict between Sunni and Shia.�
The words Sunni and Shia are not mentioned explicitly, but are symbolized in ways that are clearly recognizable to an Iraqi audience. Capulet, Juliet�s father, is denoted as a Sunni by his red-and-white checkered keffiyeh (not to mention that an al-Qaida fighter seeks to marry his daughter). Romeo�s father, Montague, wears a black-and-white scarf more commonly worn by Shiites.
�My message is that love is better than the conflict between the families,� Daood said.
Knit throughout are the little details of life in Iraq. A U.S. general makes a cameo. Staccato machine-gun fire provides background noise. When the sexual imagery from the Queen Mab speech by Mercutio in Shakespeare�s original was deemed too risque for the conservative audience, it was scrapped for an Iraqi folk story about a beetle looking for a husband.
Performances of Shakespeare plays were sometimes performed under Saddam Hussein�s government.
�You could always get the classics past censors,� said Deborah Shaw, the director of the Shakespeare festival in England and Daood�s wife. Shaw explained that dictators often allowed Shakespeare plays because, she said, �they are about legitimacy of power, how we should live together, justice.�
Arab dictators also sometimes gravitated to Shakespeare�s works because they could appropriate them for anti-Semitic purposes. For instance, �The Merchant of Venice,� with its Jewish villain, was a staple of school curriculums under Hussein, she said.
For Shaw, who described her role in the production as being �the first eyes of the Western audience,� the play raised a question about Iraq that has surely crossed the minds of many Iraqi women.
�Where are the Romeos?� she said. �We�ve had enough of gun-toting, dim young men.� There are links in the production�s ensemble to Iraq�s cultured past and a theater scene that blossomed beginning in the 1950s after achieving independence from Britain. That past was gradually wiped out by decades of war, sanctions and the Hussein government�s intolerance for freedom of expression.
An effort to reclaim the old tradition for a new generation of artists lies in the performances of the young actors appearing as Romeo and Juliet.
�It�s a portrayal of the Iraqi reality and a message to the world,� said Ahmed Moneka, 24, who plays Romeo. �It�s written in a way that has touched the root of the Iraqi reality.�
Sarwa Malik, 23, plays Juliet, who is a Sunni. Malik is Shiite and Kurdish, and drew on her own experience of forbidden, cross-sectarian love in playing her character. Three years ago, while in college, she fell in love with a young Sunni man. The relationship was even more complicated because she came from money and he did not. They would meet in out-of-the-way spots on campus and write each other letters.
�My family was always saying, �Don�t be with this guy,� � she recalled.
Today they are married.

Fall River Housing Authority Section 8 Basics FAQs
What are housing choice vouchers?
The housing choice voucher program is the federal government's housing program that assists very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled. This program enables them to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program. This program is the current version of the Section 8 Program.
Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by the Fall River Housing Authority (FRHA), with funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit where the owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit must meet minimum standards of health and safety. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the FRHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.
Voucher holders generally have between 120 and 180 days to find an apartment and enter the program.
What will we pay?
The FRHA uses a payment standard that is the amount generally needed to rent a moderately-priced dwelling unit in Fall River. A family which receives a housing voucher can select a unit with a rent that is not more than this amount. In other words we pay the difference between the approved rent and the amount the tenant can afford based on a formula. Payment standards change at least annually and are available from our Housing Assistance Department. When a family with a voucher is entering into a lease with you for the first time, the family cannot pay more than 40% of their income for rent, and the rent is limited to the Reasonable Rent for the Apartment. Some families with a Voucher can afford more expensive apartments than other Voucher holders.
Can I move and continue to receive housing choice voucher assistance?
Yes! A family's housing needs change over time due to changes in family size, job locations, and for other reasons. Moves are permissible as long as the family notifies the FRHA ahead of time, terminates its existing lease within the lease provisions, and finds acceptable alternate housing.
Roles - of the Tenant, the Landlord, and the FRHA
Once the FRHA approves an eligible family's housing unit, the family and the landlord sign a lease and, at the same time, the landlord and the PHA sign a housing assistance payments contract that runs for the same term as the lease. This means that everyone — tenant, landlord and FRHA — have obligations and responsibilities under the voucher program. Both tenants and landlords obligations also include those that are required in the private market.
Tenant's Obligations: The family selects the housing unit, and then signs a lease with the landlord for at least one year. The tenant may be required to pay a security deposit to the landlord. After the first year the landlord may initiate a new lease or allow the family to remain in the unit on a month-to-month lease.
When the family is settled in a new home, the family is expected to comply with the lease and the program requirements, pay its share of rent on time, maintain the unit in good condition and notify the PHA of any changes in income or family composition.
Landlord's Obligations: The role of the landlord in the voucher program is to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing to a tenant at a reasonable rent. The dwelling unit must pass the program's housing quality standards and be maintained up to those standards as long as the owner receives housing assistance payments. In addition, the landlord is expected to provide the services agreed to as part of the lease signed with the tenant and the contract signed with the FRHA.
The FRHA will also ask the owner to certify that he/she is the present owner of the property, provide a copy of the registered deed with the book and page number listed by the county's Registry of Deeds. If the Deed is more than ten (10) years old, the FRHA asks that an owner provide a copy of a current tax bill for the property.
FRHA's Obligations: The FRHA provides a family with a housing assistance subsidy that enables the family afford suitable housing. The FRHA enters into a contract with the landlord to provide this subsidy. This subsidy is paid directly to the landlord on a monthly basis. If the landlord fails to meet the owner's obligations under the lease, the FRHA has the right to terminate assistance payments. The FRHA must reexamine the family's income and composition at least annually and must inspect each unit at least annually to ensure that it meets minimum housing quality standards.
How the System Works
After finding an appropriate apartment, the family must request that the FRHA approve the apartment. This is done by filling out and submitting HUD form HUD-52517, Request for Tenancy Approval. Form HUD-52517 contains basic information about the rental unit selected by the family, including the unit address, number of bedrooms, structure type, year constructed, utilities included in the rent, and the requested beginning date of the lease. Most of this information will be obtained from the landlord.
Owners must certify the most recent amount of rent charged for the unit and provide an explanation for any difference between the prior rent and the proposed rent. Owners must also certify that they are not the parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother of any member of the family, unless the PHA has granted a request for reasonable accommodation for a person with disabilities who is a member of the tenant household.
Finally, for units constructed prior to 1978, owners must either 1) certify that the unit, common areas, and exterior have been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified inspector; or 2) attach a lead-based paint disclosure statement.
The submission of these forms starts an approval process which requires the FRHA to inspect the apartment and determine what a Fair Rent is for each apartment.
When renewing a lease the landlord may request a rent increase, which must be documented using our Request for Rent Increase form. This request must be made at least 60 days prior to lease expiration.
Rent Reasonableness Testing
The FRHA must assure that rents charged by owners to housing choice voucher program participants are reasonable. This determination involves two comparisons. First, the FRHA must compare the rent for the voucher unit to rents for similar unassisted units in the marketplace. Second, the FRHA must compare the rent to rents for similar units on the premises. (As stated earlier our published payment standard must not be exceeded)
Ensuring rent reasonableness is very important for effective program operations. If the FRHA approves rents that are too high government funds are wasted, and limited housing subsidies are squandered. If rents are approved at levels lower than comparable units in the private market, the better owners may not participate in the program, or they participate only their lowest-cost and lowest-quality units. In addition, families may be inappropriately restricted in where they can live.
We must make this rent reasonableness comparison whenever the following occurs:
* Before entering into a HAP contract. The FRHA not execute a HAP contract until it has documented that the charged rent is reasonable.
* Before any increase in the rent to owner. The FRHA must determine and document whether the proposed rent is reasonable compared to similar units in the marketplace and not higher than those paid by unassisted tenants on the premises.
If the proposed rent is determined to be too high and does not meet the rent reasonableness limitation, the FRHA will engage in negotiations with the owner and attempt to reduce the contract rent or to include some or all of the utilities in the contract rent. The FRHA will not approve rents deemed unreasonable.
The part of the rent to owner that the tenant pays may not be more than the difference between the rent to owner and the housing assistance payment. The owner may not demand or accept any rent payment from the tenant in excess of this maximum and must immediately return any excess rent payment to the tenant. The family is not responsible for payment of the portion of rent to owner covered by the housing assistance payment. Likewise, the PHA is not responsible for any portion of the family share, including family rent to owner. Payment of the family share is the responsibility of the family.
Housing Quality Standards (HQS)
The FRHA must assure that all apartments subsidized under this program are in good enough condition to pass our HQS inspection. Our inspectors will arrange to visit each apartment and perform this inspection. Units must also meet all requirements of the Massachusetts Sanitary Code. This inspection is an absolute requirement and we will not pay any subsidy or approve an apartment until it passes our inspection.
The apartment must also pass an annual inspection using the same standards. Therefore it is important that both the Landlord and the Tenant coordinate the timing of these inspections with our staff.
Other program requirements
The operation of this program is cooperative effort between the FRHA, the tenants and the landlords. We require the cooperation of all parties.
Tenants must report all changes in family composition and income as soon as it occurs. This will affect the family's rent as well as the subsidy payment.
Landlords must inform us when tenants move.
Both the tenants and landlords are responsible for the physical condition of units. That is our residents must not damage the apartments and the landlords must maintain them in a safe, decent and sanitary condition.
What happens after I rent to the family?
Every year the FRHA will determine whether the family is still eligible for the program and whether the apartment is still in compliance with the State Sanitary Code.
Can the lease be terminated, if necessary?
Your lease will spell out how much notice you must give your tenant if you want to terminate the tenancy. Although you should send the FRHA copies of the eviction notice, you do not need the FRHA's permission to evict a tenant who is in violation of the lease. Tenants wishing to move must also follow the requirements of the lease unless a landlord agrees to release the tenant from these obligations.
This page is not intended to be all inclusive and does not contain all FRHA or HUD requirements. It is intended to help new participants and landlords with a very basic understanding of the program.

Amazing Scar Treatment
Entry posted by tg2girls ·

I have been using Nerium AD since February and love the product. It is a night time cream that I put on my skin and just wash off with cold water in the morning. Prior to application I wash my makeup off at night with Gano Soap which is a very gentle but effective facial soap. I personally use it twice just to make sure I am getting all my makeup off. By the way, I am not posting this to sell the product. I choose not to sell the product because I don't like talking about my prior acne issue face to face with strangers. I post here because I understand the pain caused by acne.
Now this is where the real excitement is. I began using NewGel+ just over a month ago and I am so happy with the results. After washing my face with cold water in the morning and gently drying my skin, I apply the NewGel+ to the scarred areas on my skin. I then apply my makeup over it. I do not use lotion or any other drying product. I just apply my makeup over the dried NewGel+ and leave it on during the day. My skin texture is so much smoother, my pores are much smaller and my deep scars are now very minimal.
Something to make mention of is that I used to have major digestive issues, Acid Reflux and Food Interolerances. I still have the allergic reactions to food, but they don't seem to cause my acne the way they use to, See my profile for more information on that topic,
I have seen such drastic changes in my skin over the last 6 months that my friends are starting to forget that I even had such a bad problem with acne. I hope for the same results for you.

"More than four hundred years ago, seven people - five of them women - were beheaded in the Tower of London. Three had been queens of England. The others were found guilty of treason. Why were such powerful people put to death? Alison Weir's gripping book tells their stories: from the former friend betrayed by a man set on being king, to the young girl killed after just nine days on the throne. Through her vivid writing, Alison Weir brings history alive."

Full Size: Here
Here we are at another Fall Season. As I may have stated much earlier in the year, 2014 in particular seems to be a greater than usual year for anime. This fall fully exemplifies that and with the amount of shows I'm saying YES to, I certainly believe that to be the case. All in all, we are "ending" the year with a bang. Yes, I know that there is the Winter Season coming up after, but depending on your view of things; that could be considered the start of next year.
So here we go, let's end this with a bang!
*TERRAFORMARS – Based on a manga about humans terraforming mars with roaches etc… and then things get out of hand. This is one of those series being advertised as a "second" Attack on Titan, though I would say the source is nowhere near the level. The only solace here is the big budget ensures quality animation and that the source is 10 volumes long; so we have a good chance at a sequel if it sells (assuming the show is any good of course)
*Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken (I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying)– Otaku married to someone totally his opposite and their slice-of-life comedy. The premise itself is interesting enough, but the main draw here for me is Tamura Yukari as one of the mains.
*Amagi Brilliant Park – The author of Full Metal Panic!, Gatoh Shouji, returns with another work animated by Kyoto Animation (same animation studio that did the FMP! series). nuff said.
*Gundam Reconguista in G – Gundam was the series that can be said to have started my anime love. I'm not too fond of the character designs, but I can forgive all of that if the story is good.
*Log Horizon 2 – The best anime about people trapped in a game world returns for a second season. My main worry is the change in production studios, but trailers thus far have shown much consistency with the first season.
*Madan no Ou to Vanadis – A light novel adaptation of a series set in a slightly medieval Europe inspired era. Sounds generic, but the source has been interesting thus far and though the series seems to focus on the "Vanadis" (beautiful women gifted with special weapons from dragons), they haven't really been shown to be too overpowered. The hero has also shown much promise in his attitude and ability to best most of them through tactis and his fearlessness. I do feel it may end up in a harem situation though…
*Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works – ufotable (Fate/Zero, God Eater, Tales of Xillia) returns to animate the "remake" of Fate/stay night, this time focussing on the Unlimited Blade Works route which did not receive proper justice in the poor film version. As with most, I'm greatly looking forward to this. UBW is likely my favorite of the Fate/stay routes and the fact that ufotable is animating means the quality will be and stay crisp throughout.
*Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo – Mizuki Nana and Kitamura Eri star in another Sunrise mecha "original". I don't have high hopes, but the character designs remind me of Code Geass and some of my favorite VA are in it.
*World Trigger – I've heard nothing short of praise for this little series that focuses on a alien threat to humanity. The premise sounds generic enough, but the fans have been relentless about it. Still, the series is rather new, and I'm worried if they rush too much well receive a terrible anime-original ending.
*Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) – A relatively new shonen manga blockbuster that has been making waves since its release. From what I've read of the source, the series focuses a bit more on adventure than fighting and thus I would compare it more to Magi or One Piece, rather than Bleach or Naruto. I've always been a big fan of fantasy adventures and from the bits of the source I've read, it doesn't seem like it will disappoint.
*Grisaia no Kajitsu – A really highly rated VN that is finally getting its adaption. From what I know of it and scenes I've witnessed, this one is a lot more than it lets on.
*Shingeki no Bahamut GENESIS (Rage of Bahamut: Genesis) – Based on the insanely popular mobile game that I didn't really get into. This is one of those series, whose fantasy, action packed trailer really got me interested. Usually these shows are meant to be "cheap" promotions for their source, but if the trailer is any indication; this one will be one to keep an eye on.
*Akatsuki no Yona – Shoujo manga adaptation of a fantasy adventure series about a Princess who becomes a fugitive of her own kingdom. I believe this is the first anime for author Kusanagi Mizuho (NG Life, Mugen Spiral) and someone who's always enjoyed her works/style, I'm very looking forward to it. As for the source itself, this was a series I followed when it released but left it hanging due to not wanting to wait monthly on it.
*Trinity Seven – One of my favorite shows airing this season, this focusses on a very "alpha" protagonist that finds out he is one who could be destined to be the demon lord. The premise doesn't seem too interesting, but if this even remotely follows the source it will be remember as a series that actually does the harem genre the correct way.
*Gundam Build Fighters Try – A new cast of characters build Gundam models and fight! The first season of this actually turned out to be pretty good, something you wouldn't think would go hand-in-hand with an anime about model kits duking it out. The first series seemed to focus on 2x guys as the main characters, but this time around they threw in a girl into the mix, which should spice things up a bit.
*Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle – Chaika returns for its second season. The first season showed us exactly how a fantasy DND-reminiquse show should run and felt exactly like being inside of a DND game; it's a good feeling.
*Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu – A horror anime that is actually based on a rather older manga series (from the 1980s). This one is about alien Parasytes that can go inside of a host and take over its brain. The premise itself is rather creepy (though) not too original. From what I've read of the source, fans of horror will surely delight in this series if done right.
*SHIROBAKO – P.A. Works returns this season with another very P.A.Works show. I love P.A.Works, but their stuff is generally hits or very far misses. Take for example Nagi no Asakura or True Tears, which I tout as very brilliant animes and then compare to less than stellar shows like Tari Tari and the recent Glasslip and you have two very far sides of the spectrum represented. At least they like to pump out original works though…
*PSYCHO-PASS 2 – Another stellar show that is returning with a different animation studio. Like Log Horizon 2, I'm not noticing much, if any, difference between this and the previous season based on the PVs alone. This time along we focus on Akane as the head inspector and how she goes about fulfilling her duty while finding a way to replace the system. I'm sure Kou will make an appearance, but all in all the cyber-punk-ish show for us all.
*Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (April is Your Lie) – A-1 Pictures is animating this award winning manga that focusses on love and character drama. This could be the top tier romance for the season.
*Denki-gai no Honya-san – A slice-of-life comedy about a bunch of book store workers. I don't exactly have high hopes for this show, but I do think it will at least be fun based on the concept alone, which I'll admit is a bit charming.
*Selector Spread WIXOSS – Second season of the card game anime that turned most viewers on their heads when SHIT HIT THE FAN in the second half. I'm not too invested in it, but I did enjoy the twist of the first season.
*Garo: Honoo no Kokuin – The next step in the Garo franchise that involves the weaving of horror, drama, and demonic folklore all in a slightly medieval European setting. Sounds interested enough, but the trailer shows a bit too much CG, which leaves me cautious.
*Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete (À la recherche du futur perdu / In Search of Lost Time) – A visual novel adaptation that I'm told focusses more on a linear routine (similar to CLANNNAD ~AFTER STORY~/LITTLE Busters! Refrain) that also oozes a feeling similar to ef – a tale of memories -. I don't exactly have high hopes and the character designs really aren't to my taste (especially compared to the VN's original designs), but it does sound to be much more than a typical romance VN.
*Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji (Wolf Girl & Black Prince) – Typical high school romance anime that begins with a girl faking that a good looking asshole is her boyfriend to impress her friends. Not the greatest of premises and the manga didn't necessarily wow me, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
*Sora no Method – Original anime by the creator of Kanon and sola. As a big fan of both, I'm curious and willing to give it a chance.
*Ai Tenchi Muyou! – A new Tenchi Muyo! series that actually follows a Tenchi (or so I'm led to believe). I do like the Durarara!!-esque character designs, though the story is what worries me. Tenchi series have not had a good track record in recent years…
*Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de – A bunch of club members gain special powers only to… do absolutely nothing with it. An interesting premise that seems to put super-powers in the mold of everyday life. I
*Hi sCoool! Seha Girl – Sega consoles reimagined as goddesses. Sega nostalgia is all I can say…
*Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai (A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd) – A harem school life vn adaptation that I am interested in, but the generic character designs kind-of turned me off of the series at the moment.
*Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu. – A light novel adaptation that embraces the otakuism of today's fans and… makes it very surreal. I'm not too sure what to expect.
*Sanzoku no Musume Ronja – After a big announcement on the fate of its studio going forward, Ghibli dabbles in its first anime series. Make no mistake, they are only directing, everything else is left to others, which is a bit worrying.
*Bonjour: Koiaji Patisserie – Reverse harem series that may end up like most of them, generic.
*Girlfriend (Kari) – Mobile dating sim adaptation that is getting a Weiss Schwarz set… I want to know why.
*Donten ni Warau – Historical action series that reminds me a bit too uncomfortably about Nobunaga the Fool…
*Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru – Looks to be a magical girl series with character designs by BUNBUN (which I swear is abec from Sword Art Online).
And my 5 most anticipated shows this season (in no particular order) are…
Trinity Seven
Psycho-Pass 2
Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works
Rage of Bahamut GENESIS
Rage of Bahamut is the big wild card here as it was my the hardest of my most anticipated to pick. Here's hoping it's better than I expected, until next time.
Ash out.

New Swift Energy Company Report Provided by GlobalData
25 Jul 2012 • by Natalie Aster
Swift has been involved in developing the Eagle Ford shale and the Olmos Tight Sands formation in the South Texas region to increase its crude oil and natural gas production. This region was one of the highest contributors to the company's total production in the past three years. Swift derived an average of 41.8% of its crude oil and natural gas production from the South Texas region during 2009-2011. Additionally, the company reported total production of 5.8 MMboe from this region in 2011, which represented 52.0% of its total production in the year. It plans to spend $450-480m in this region in 2012, which represents 75-80% of its 2012 capex. Swift holds a significant drilling inventory in this region, which will support its production growth in the long run. The figure below shows the company's operational map in the South Texas region.
Swift Energy Company, South Texas Region, Operational Map, 2012
Swift's Eagle Ford shale in the South Texas region is one of the significant drivers for the company's future production. The company entered into this shale through a 50:50 Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Petrohawk Energy Corporation (Petrohawk) during 2009. Swift's JV with Petrohawk covers around 26,000 acres in the McMullen County, South Texas. The venture drilled their first well in this shale in Q4, 2009 with Petrohawk as an operator.
After establishing this JV, Swift has been continuously increasing its acreage in the Eagle Ford shale. The company held around 79,308 acres in this shale at the end of 2011, of which 62,862 acres were undeveloped. It held a net proved reserves base of 68.7 MMboe in the Eagle Ford shale as of December 31, 2011, of which around 82.1% reserve base was undeveloped. Thus, Swift holds significant undeveloped reserve base in this shale to support its development activities. In order to develop the Eagle Ford shale reserves, the company enhanced its drilling activities and drilled 26 wells in this shale in 2011 compared to 22 wells drilled in 2010. Swift drilled six non-operated wells each in 2010 and 2011, in the joint venture acreage, which was operated by Petrohawk, and the rest 36 wells were all its operated wells in these years.
The new report "Swift Energy Company, Company Intelligence Report" by GlobalData states that with its long-term focus to develop this shale, Swift plans to drill 31 wells in the Eagle Ford shale during 2012. Majority of the company's future drilling in this shale is expected to mainly target the liquids rich phase in the AWP field and in the Artesia Wells area. Swift's enhanced drilling activities in the Eagle Ford shale grew its drilling inventory from 57 proved undeveloped locations in 2010 to around 1,000 drilling locations in this shale, based on 80 acres spacing at the end of 2011. Moreover, it expects estimated ultimate recovery (EUR)/ well of around 7-10bcfe in dry gas phase and EUR/ well of 395-1,100 Mboe in liquids-rich phase of the Eagle Ford shale. Swift estimates net total resource potential of more than one billion barrels of oil equivalent (Bboe) in this shale. The company's average drilling and completion cost per well in the Eagle ford shale is in the range of $8.5-9.5m, based on a lateral length of 6,000 feet. The table below shows the economics of Swift's wells drilled in various phases in the Eagle Ford shale.
Report Details:
Swift Energy Company, Company Intelligence Report
Published: March, 2012
Pages: 120
Price: US$ 1.000,00
Swift has been producing from its Olmos Tight Sands formation since 1989. The company has been trying to increase its production from this formation with the application of advanced technology such as horizontal drilling and fracture stimulations. Swift holds substantial prospective acreage and undeveloped reserves in this formation to support its development and redevelopment activities. Currently, the company holds approximately 44,000 net acres, which are prospective for horizontal drilling in this formation. It held net proved reserves of 41.9 MMboe in its Olmos Tight Sands formation as of December 31, 2011. Of this, more than 50% reserve base was undeveloped. Currently, Swift holds drilling inventory of around 275 locations, based on 160 acres spacing in this formation, compared to 87 proved undeveloped drilling locations held in 2010. Additionally, Swift estimates EUR/ well of more than 6bcfe in its Olmos Tight Sands formation. Consequently, this formation provides the company with an opportunity to grow its reserve base and production.
Swift's total reserves in the Olmos Tight Sands formation were 61% natural gas and 49% crude oil and liquids in 2011. The company expects EUR/ well of around 995 Mboe from its wells drilled in the natural gas rich targets containing associated condensate. It expects EUR/ well of 1,095 Mboe, including 4.7bcf of natural gas and 320 Mbbl of NGLs in its rich gas targets in this formation. Swift expects a net total resource potential of 1.2-1.8 trillion cubic feet equivalent (tcfe) in its Olmos Tight Sands formation. The table below shows the economics of the company's wells drilled in this formation.
Swift plans to focus on the redevelopment of the Olmos Tight Sands formation in the long run. The company drilled vertical wells in this formation in 2010 to determine the scope of horizontal drilling, which will increase its exposure to untapped resource base. It drilled 10 horizontal and six vertical wells in the Olmos Tight Sands formation in 2010, of which eight horizontal wells and five vertical wells were completed in the same year. Encouraged by the drilling results, Swift drilled 12 horizontal wells in 2011 and planned to drill 14 horizontal wells in this formation in 2012. Apart from the horizontal development drilling, the company is also working on various other ways to optimize its production from the Olmos Tight Sands formation. It plans to carry out 15 production optimization projects in 2012. Swift's increased exposure to untapped targets for horizontal drilling and redevelopment activities to will help it to grow its production from this formation.
Thus, Swift's focus on the development and redevelopment activities in the Eagle Ford shale and the Olmos Tight Sands formation is expected to increase its resource base. This will eventually grow the company's production levels from the South Texas region in the long run. This region is expected to contribute the highest production towards its total production among all the regions in the future.

Why Obama Is No Roosevelt
Roosevelt: 'Your government has unmistakable confidence in your ability to hear the worst without flinching and losing heart.' Obama: We don't 'always think clearly when we're scared.'
Whatever the outcome of today's election, this much is clear: It will be a long time before Americans ever again decide that the leadership of the nation should go to a legislator of negligible experience—with a voting record, as state and U.S. senator, consisting largely of "present," and an election platform based on glowing promises of transcendence. A platform vowing, unforgettably, to restore us—a country lost to arrogance and crimes against humanity—to a place of respect in the world.
We would win back...

Creating Shared Understanding
We often mistake leadership as having a title, being in charge, and making decisions. But leadership is dependent on cultivating effective teamwork, which requires that team members share key understandings of their roles, of what a team is, and how to work together.
Join Bob Dunham in this conference call to explore the generative leadership perspective on how to create shared understanding in a team, relationship, or community. We will explore how we listen to others, how we see the world through the eyes of others, and how we generate the shared understandings to create a positive future.
There are no reviews yet.

Sydney rock-pop band Dappled Cities are all set to release their fourth studio album Lake Air on August 3rd, 2012. So far the indie five-piece have unleashed the striking lead single Run With The Wind, which if anything to go by, means fans are in for a special record.
Although no official tracklist has been revealed, other songs on the record include Love Connection, Work In The Mould, Lake Air, Born At The Right Time and The Leopard.
When speaking about the upcoming record Dappled Cities' Tim Derricourt said Lake Air encapsulates the entire character of the band.
"It's everything we've ever been… It's got experimentation, wildness and melody. It gives me the sense that I get every now and again that we could keep doing this for another 20 years – or more," Derricourt said.
The upcoming LP was recorded over numerous session spanning Sydney, Paris and Los Angeles and marks the first time Dappled Cities have co-produced one of their own record.
Music Feeds' Therese Watson recently saw Dappled Cities play at the Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney. After witnessing latest single Run With The Wind performed liv, Watson wrote that it may just be the Dappled Cities best song to date.
"Run With the Wind is quickly turning into my favourtie song. It was pretty epic. Those gliding scalic synth lines and the soaring melodic falsetto chorus give the song its constant momentum and kept us enthralled."
"Dappled Cities have impressively managed to continue to sound fresh and current with this track, but have retained their own identifiable sound. Not an easy feat."

This means it requires Exchange Server and operates on the server itself, deeply integrated with it, with corresponding administrative convenience. For example, the Exchange user directory is the iHateSpam directory, so there are no synchronization issues for administrators to worry about.
The administration capabilities are nicely done and will feel natural to any Exchange administrators. We performed filtering by creating policies and assigning these policies to users and groups, overriding global policies where necessary. Policy options include whitelists and blacklists, a custom rule builder, and the ability to call a "filter plug-in" through a COM interface.
iHateSpam also lets you globally block character sets, which is a real help for nonmultinational companies. Alternatively, you can choose such blocking only to specific groups of users who never would deal with international customers.
iHateSpam chooses to allow, quarantine, or delete a message based on a score the program calculates for it. This score is based partly on the policies set and partly on filtering rules, which Sunbelt Software updates continuously. The administrator can set thresholds beyond which a message will be quarantined or, higher still, deleted.
This degree of customization argues that Exchange shops should still consider iHateSpam, despite our performance numbers, which were disappointing. The program showed a false-positive rate of 2.9 percent—which is high considering that four of the six players came in under 1 percent. Granted, most of these instances were automated notifications of a posting in a Web forum, so whitelisting the address or domain would solve this specific problem, but the other products were able to handle this scenario with no such intervention.
If you're an Exchange administrator looking for a familiar solution, don't dismiss iHateSpam based on our performance numbers. It is the perfect example of a product that an experienced administrator with a knowledge of company specifics can tweak to achieve much better results.

I've seen this tag doing the rounds over on YouTube at the moment and I really wanted to join in! As you can imagine, we've spent the past few months looking at lists and lists of baby names, as we are expecting our second baby girl later this year! Her first name was pretty much decided from day one, however I thought I would share some of the other names that were on our list.
You may notice that these are quite popular names, but this personally doesn't put us off choosing a name if we really like it.
Olivia - I think it is such a pretty name and would go well with our other daughter, Sophie.
Charlotte - To be honest I didn't used to love the name Charlotte, but it's definitely grown on me over the past year or two!
Harper - Admittedly, this name isn't something I would usually choose but for some reason I absolutely love it. I think it's beautiful, unfortunately Toby doesn't agree but I just had to include it in this list.
Elsie - I believe older names are making a comeback and I just think this is really cute and would suit any age.
Rose - I really like the name and it works perfectly as a middle name, however Toby isn't a huge fan of flower names so I'm not sure we would use this.
Ellie - Believe it or not, Sophie was actually almost called Ellie but I wasn't keen on Eleanor, which is what it is usually shortened from. I think it's a lovely name on its own though.
Lily - I love the name Lily and I think it's so pretty!
Daisy - This is such a beautiful name and it would be perfect for a Spring or Summer baby!
Isabelle - I think this is such a beautiful name.
Grace - This was our second choice of middle name for our baby girl, but we have finally decided on a different one now. Although it is lovely as a first name too.
So there you have my top 10 baby girls names! And who knows, if we have a third baby girl in the future, we may use one or two of the names above!
What are your favourite baby names?

Jason Kersey of The Oklahoman reported Friday afternoon Oklahoma officials are "confident" the NCAA will grant Missouri transfer wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham a waiver for immediate eligibility.
Given the nature of Green-Beckham's split from Missouri, Kersey's report elicited shock–including the below tweet from TCU head coach Gary Patterson.
Wow!RT @dennisdoddcbs: OU believes DGB will be eligible right away. http://t.co/wOw5boX8Um
— Gary Patterson (@TCUCoachP) August 1, 2014
Patterson's Horned Frogs are scheduled to face the Sooners on Oct. 4 in their fourth game of the season. An Oklahoma offense with Dorial Green-Beckham in the lineup dramatically changes how Patterson and his staff game-plan.
Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel dismissed Green-Beckham in the spring. The former 5-star recruit had a breakout sophomore campaign to help the Tigers to the SEC East championship, but a series of off-field incidents led to his ouster.
However, the confidence of Oklahoma brass that Green-Beckham will receive what Kersey describes as a "run-off" waiver is not necessarily indicative of any actual decision. Kersey reports OU has yet to actually file the appeal, and rather is banking that charges never being pressed against Green-Beckham makes him a run-off candidate.
While there may be precedent to support Oklahoma's confidence, the NCAA can be wildly unpredictable in such matters.
Take another Sooners receiver, Jalen Saunders. Saunders sought a hardship waiver in 2012 when transferring in from Fresno State on the grounds that the Central Valley's air quality negatively affected his breathing.
Saunders spent two seasons at Fresno State, including a sophomore campaign in which he was the primary target of quarterback Derek Carr. Following his breakout 2011 season, Fresno State replaced head coach Pat Hill with Tim DeRuyter; DeRuyter hired Dave Schramm as offensive coordinator, and Schramm introduced a spread attack that moved Saunders to the slot.
"It was the way I was being used in the slot. The offense wasn't for me. That's pretty much why I left," Saunders said via ESPN.com's Jake Trotter in May 2012.
It stands to reason the NCAA initially denied Saunders' hardship appeal. However, four games into the Sooners' season and just before the annual rivalry showdown with Texas, Saunders gained clearance.
The incongruous appeals process never fails to surprise, as illustrated in the Saunders' case–and yet, nothing the NCAA decides regarding Dorial Green-Beckham will surprise me.
Pete Roussell of CoachingSearch.com offered a suggestion to solve this problem:
@dennisdoddcbs College football needs a commissioner.
— Pete Roussel (@coachingsearch) August 1, 2014
Of course, we're also amid a turbulent period for the NFL. Its commissioner, Roger Goodell, is coming under fire for illogically applied suspensions, particularly the two games Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice received for assaulting his then-fiancee' in February.
Unlike Green-Beckham, Rice was charged.
Whether the NCAA grants Green-Beckham's appeal or not, he will have two years of eligibility remaining. However, should he have to sit out the one season typically mandated for transfers, it's possible–if not likely–Green-Beckham opts to enter the NFL draft, without ever playing a down in crimson and cream.

Driven by the support of 40 member societies, the first-of-its-kind fraternal branding initiative was approved by the Alliance's Board of Directors last week. Maddock-Douglas, the branding consultant retained by the Alliance to complete this project, will begin work on the first of the three components of the program will begin this week. The final work products will be delivered to Alliance members by the end of the year.
To refresh your memory, the branding initiative began in 2015 when the Alliance funded initial research and creative design work that demonstrated:
- The vast majority of consumers had virtually no awareness of fraternals and their role in the financial services and community services arenas;
- With only a small amount of information, consumers – from millennials to boomers – were intrigued, impressed, and interested enough in the fraternal model to consider purchasing financial services products from a society; and
- Fraterals shared enough common characteristics to make it possible to create one set of materials that each society could use to create a relevant brand for its organization.
Armed with that information, Maddock-Douglas developed a three-part branding initiative that was presented to member society CEOs at the 2016 Executive Summit and to a broad cross-section of members at the 2016 Annual Meeting. The three segments of the program are:
- Brand Strategy is the guide that provides instructions to best convey the fraternal benefit society message to the public. It will cover all aspects of messaging that must be considered for the greatest impact, including specific words, phrases, and tone of the message, and will be based on new research that will demonstrate which message configurations resonate most and why.
- Campaign Creative is applying the language and messaging from above to create communications that can be used for real advertisements. That means adding visuals and creating copy to deliver the intended message within an overall idea that is used consistently across all communications. It will be applied in a variety of forms including print ads, radio script, web banners, and social media.
- Target Market Identification is about describing and finding the people that are the most likely to respond favorably to the fraternal message. Knowing who those people are is critical for the development of an efficient marketing program. The target will be described in terms of the attitudes and behaviors that contribute to their positive response, with any common demographics between them identified.
Based on the support expressed for the program by member societies, in December 2016, the Alliance Board of Directors agreed to move forward with the program if it was fully funded by the membership. The Board stipulated that no Alliance dues dollars or surplus funds – which are used primarily to provide the state and federal advocacy services members value most – be used for this project.
Forty Alliance member societies backed up their commitment with a check for $9,500 and on March 20 the Board approved the project.
This project demonstrates the power of collective action by fraternals. Only a handful of Alliance members could have afforded the nearly $400,000 price tag of this branding initiative. But by pooling resources and sharing the cost, even the Alliance's smallest societies can afford to purchase this incredibly valuable marketing data. Makes you wonder what else member societies could accomplish if the joined forces to tackle tough problems like compliance, reinsurance, IT platforms, and product development. Hmmm…
Nonetheless, it is important to realize that accessing the branding initiative materials and actually being able to use them are two different things. As one member told me, "it doesn't do much good to paint the house if the foundation is crumbling."
Amen. The branding initiative is not a panacea. It won't magically increase sales, enhance your community service activities, or give your society the brand recognition of Coke. If you don't have the financial resources, the governance structure, and the management skills to put this information to use, then it's just another electronic file taking up space on your hard drive.
But if you do have the ability and desire to put these tools to use – or to join hands with other societies and use them collectively (there's that word again…) well, the sky's the limit.
So, hats off to those 40 societies who invested in this program. They'll reap the rewards of that investment later this year – and, hopefully, for many more years to come.
And for those of you who did not initially participate, there is still time to send us your check for $9,500 and ensure that your society doesn't get left behind.

A court hearing is set for today (Nov. 30) after Tameka Raymond, ex-wife of singer Usher, petitioned an Atlanta, GA court to amend the custody agreement established during their divorce in order to eliminate Usher's visitation right with his two children.
According to TMZ, Tameka's court action is in response to what she says is Usher's failure to uphold his court-ordered obligations. Among them Tameka claims Usher failed to, get her permission to travel outside the state with the kids and approval before hiring nannies; give her first shot to watch the kids when he's away for more than 8 hours; allow her to take custody of the kids for 2-weeks in the summer of 2011 and during Christmas break 2010.
In addition to getting Usher's custody rights taken away, Tameka is hoping the court will help her get some legal satisfaction after, as she claims, Usher closed her Saks 5th Avenue credit card after originally promising he would not. In her court filings she claims that because of his actions she can no longer take advantage of the "special benefits" the card offers. Also in the court docs, Tameka states that Usher promised to pay $5k per month so Tameka could hire her own nanny for the kids, but he hasn't paid in months, and now owes $34,000 worth of payments.
Finally, Tameka claims Usher's income has risen substantially since they got divorced and asserts she should be given more money for child support.

Multiple reports say there's been a major meteorite impact in Chelyabinsk Russia. Videos and more after the jump.At first I thought this might be a hoax. But there are now multiple news reports and some pretty striking amateur videos.
This one has what seems pretty clearly to be the sound of impact.
This video seems to show the impact of a second or possibly several more meteorites. Note the streak in the sky from the first meteorite already seems a little old when another impact is heard.
Update 12:57: RT.com is now reporting a breaking news flash that "Urals meteorite shot down by Russian air defense — military source." That makes no sense to me at all. I suppose you could blow up a careening meteorite. But there's nothing to shoot down with a meteorite. It's falling. And it's moving so incredibly fast that I doubt very much you could shoot it down, in the improbable case that you scrambled a plane quickly enough to intercept it. We'll have to wait to hear more on this. And I'm not much of an expert on air defense meteorite intercepts. But it sounds weird.
Update 1:06 PM: There are conflicting reports about injuries. But as of yet there are no reports of fatalities.

The woman shot to death on Capitol Hill after trying to ram a White House barricade Thursday was described by neighbors and others as a quiet woman who owned a home-based dental employment business in Connecticut.
More than a dozen shots rang out on two sides of Capitol Hill in midafternoon, sending legislators, staffers and tourists running for cover. Police cars and officers converged on a female driver, whom authorities later said was killed. A 1-year-old child was rescued from the car, a black Infiniti, and taken to a hospital.
The incident took place in a city already frayed over the government shutdown and a shooting rampage two weeks ago at the Washington Navy Yard that left 13 people dead.
PHOTO GALLERY: Gunfire on Capitol Hill
The incident began about 2:12 p.m. at the White House, where President Obama was working inside. Police said the driver of the car tried to breach the barricades at an outer checkpoint on the mansion's northeastern side. The sedan with Connecticut license plates struck a Secret Service agent as it sped away, police said.
The Hartford Courant, quoting a source with knowledge of the investigation, said the driver was Miriam Iris Carey, 34, a dental hygienist from Stamford.
A spokesman and friend of the Carey family, Dennis Jones, told the Los Angeles Times that the family was meeting with an attorney and would issue a statement later.
[Updated, 9:10 p.m. Oct. 4: Late Thursday, a friend of Carey told New York's WABC-TV that she couldn't believe what had happened. "She had a wonderful life," Yolanda Napoleon said. "I don't understand."]
Earlier, the Courant said police entered the Woodside Green condominiums complex in Stamford, where public records say Carey lived.
Several residents told the Courant they did not know Carey but recognized her, her baby and her car.
"I recognized the car, not the woman, the car," said Wendy Frolick, 64. "Beautiful car. She always keeps it nice and shiny."
Angela Corrente, 37, said Carey was "pretty quiet" and "pretty much kept to herself."
"She had a baby," Corrente told the Courant.
Carey was born in August 1979, most likely in New York state, where her Social Security number was assigned not long after, the Courant said. She appeared to have lived most of her adult life inBrooklyn, N.Y. Two years ago, the paper said, she formed a home-based business, Experienced Dental Placements, which appeared to operate as a temporary employment firm.
