As the foreclosure crisis dies down, lenders are seeing more creative tactics employed to stall foreclosures. One tactic is that during the pendency of the first lien holder's foreclosure, the borrower will convey title, or title will pass through a junior lien holder's foreclosure action, to an outfit that rents the property out for a profit. The longer the first lien holder's foreclosure takes, the more profitable this tactic becomes. Unsatisfied with simply waiting for the foreclosure or even subsidizing a borrower's foreclosure defense tactic, some of these outfits have taken to actively intervening in foreclosures. The timing of the intervention is always strategically timed for maximum delay and occurs sometime after judgment and before the sale, with claims that the non-joinder of the title holder requires the sale be cancelled and judgment vacated.
Florida's appellate courts however, have issued several opinions that should allow first lien holders to stop such delay tactics quickly. Specifically, Florida's Second, Third, and Fourth District Court of Appeals have issued opinions on the issue including, De Sousa v. JP Morgan Chase, P.A., 170 So. 3d 928, 929 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015), Bymel v. Bank of Am., N.A., 159 So. 3d 345, 347 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015), and Whitburn, LLC v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 2D14-5563 (Fla. 2d DCA Dec. 18, 2015). The opinions hold that where title is taken during a pending foreclosure, a lis pendens in Florida serves to place the new title holder on notice of the foreclosure, makes the new title holder's interest in the property entirely subject to the outcome of the litigation, and as such, the new title holder lacks standing to intervene in the foreclosure, especially post judgment.
The Court also rejected claims by the new title holder that redemption rights were thwarted by failing to provide an estoppel letter to the new title holder. The proper remedy for the title holder under such circumstances was to pay the judgment in accordance with Fla. Stat. 45.0315, and not to seek an estoppel letter to repay the mortgage.
These opinions can be employed to terminate improvident efforts of new title holders to intervene or seek estoppel letters, especially post judgment. If such motions to intervene are not promptly and successfully opposed, the late intervention of the new title holder in the foreclosure can set back the foreclosure for a long period of time and delay the first lien holder's recovery. It should be noted that these opinions only apply where the new title holder takes title after the lis pendens is properly recorded.

San Jose, California – For us as petrolheads first and technology freaks a long way second, the most exciting aspect of the new iOS 11 operating system for iPhones, is a feature called Do Not Disturb While Driving, which does exactly that.
Announced at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference, on this week in San Jose, it detects when you're in a moving vehicle and stops calls and text messages from coming through to the screen of your iPhone, keeping the screen dark and storing them instead until the car is switched off – in effect, doing for you what you should be doing yourself.
It also has the option of sending an automatic voice or text reply to contacts listed in Favorites to let them know you're driving and can't respond until you reach your destination, so your mother-in-law can't accuse you of avoiding her.
But what if you're a passenger in a car and your phone goes to Do Not Disturb mode, even though you're not driving?
When the phone notifies you that you're about to go off-air, there's an option to tell it, "I'm not driving", which is cool, although it opens up the possibility of lying to your phone to get around the system – but you wouldn't do that, would you?
The new operating system will be available as an upgrade for iPhone 5 and later models. At the moment it's available only to developers, but Apple will offer a public beta version late in June, and the system will be officially released at the launch of the new iPhones in the third quarter of 2017.
As far as we're concerned, it should be mandatory on all cellphones.

Just last agust and feel pretty bad for giving it away for so cheap. I do have bills to pay and the money looks good right now and i have enough mowers. Is this a mistake? Should i keep it for ten years and be happy or keep it in my garage along with the 6 other mowers that i love. I just feel like that price is so low but at the same time i feel like getting the fast money. [Edited by bdemir on 08-28-2000 at 01:31 AM]

Because Jason and I go out of town for Thanksgiving I never decorate our home for that Holiday. I know I'm totally missing so much decorating opportunities there, but there's just no point since we aren't home. However for Christmas my Mother, Sister, and Grandmother come to our house and each breakfast or lunch. Which ever I decide to make that day.
Because we have them over on that holiday I decorate our home. Mainly the open area of our house. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathrooms. I don't go to extremes. I like it to look elegant and put together. I want them to flow good and be pleasing for our guest and also ourselves. Also I really enjoy Christmas, not the whole giving and receiving gifts. Just the decorations and meaning behind it.
This Christmas I decided to go all out on our Christmas tree you can read that here. But I wanted to see if I could find bargains for our Christmas Table. We only use it once a year why spend a grand amount on plates? I'm sure when we decided to breed it will get more use. BUT until then we're doing bargains.
Hello Pinterest!
I searched...and searched. Only to find one thing I liked, but no directions how to make it
Its very beautiful and I want it so bad, but after searching on google images I found a company that sells them. However I'm not ordering this and paying $56.00. just so that two weeks later the flowers will die, no matter how badly I want it...which is very bad.
I headed up to our nearest Dollar Tree, in a complete negative Nancy mood.
Best Decision EVER!
Our Christmas tree that we entered into the National Christmas Decoration Contest colors were White, Gold and Brown.
Guess what I saw?!
White and gold dinnerware
I totally destroyed their display area looking and picking out things. Hopefully they aren't too mad, I left them with a mess to sort through and reorganize.
I totally destroyed their display area looking and picking out things. Hopefully they aren't too mad, I left them with a mess to sort through and reorganize.
So after about ooh Id say an hour of shopping, okay maybe two hours. I raced home with my goodies. Grabbed my hot glue gun and set to work!
As you can tell the Center Piece isn't big. We love our food so having a large centerpiece in the way, is just going to piss everyone off.
Here's Everything You need for this table layout and where to buy it at.
- 4 Gold-Rimmed Wine Glasses (Dollar Tree)
- 4 Gold Plastic Chargers with Beaded Rims (Dollar Tree)
- 4 Royal Norfolk Gold-Rimmed White Stoneware Bowls (Dollar Tree)
- 4 Royal Norfolk Gold-Rimmed White Stoneware Dinner Plates (Dollar Tree)
- 1 Floral Bowl (Your choice)
- 1 Floral Foam (Dollar Tree)
- Gold Ribbon (Dollar Tree)
- White or Ivory Flowers (Dollar Tree or Walmart)
- Tiny Gold Ornaments (Dollar Tree)
Dollar Tree also has some amazing Christmas decor. I was able to get Stocking hangers for on my Mantel. All they needed was something to weigh them down and a light coat of spray paint.
I was able to fill the stockings for my Fur children with treats and toys that I know they'll LOVE!

Daniel Pinchbeck will be hosting a live, interactive webinar, "Exploring the Edge Realms of Consciousness" on March 12th, at 8pm NYC and 5pm San Francisco.
Human beings experience a vast range of states of awareness and different forms of consciousness. Tribal people and traditional societies have long been fascinated by lucid dreaming, shamanic and visionary states, astral projection, out of body experiences, states of Samadhi and unity, near-death experiences, and many more. Modern society tends to disregard these states, but Daniel Pinchbeck will bring together experts to discuss them. Guests include Remote Viewing pioneer Russell Targ, novelist Tony Vigorito, occult researcher Conner Habib, and lucid dreaming expert Ryan Hurd.
In this one time seminar, we will answer questions such as:
- How to explore the edge realms of consciousness safely?
- What are the benefits of these experiences?
- What roles do shamanic and out-of-body experiences play for society in a time of rapid transformation and ecological crisis?
- How do you discuss your experiences with those who dont understand shamanism or the reality of the Psyche?
This Evolver Learning Lab is $20. You can register at Evolver.net.

We all know that secretarial staff are vital to the work of the college, but they are often somewhat unrecognized. In an effort to address that, here is a nice shot of a secretarial group from a 1955 yearbook recently found in the archives. It was posted in the "Remembering Brockport" group on Facebook and, after just a few minutes, had a number of likes and comments from friends and relatives of the women in the photo.:

Christmas Doesn't Mean Anything To Me Anymore
I know that many will misunderstand this, but I have to admit that Christmas doesn't mean anything (positive) to me anymore. Go ahead and throw the Scrooge accusations my way. I probably deserve them. But the holiday that used to be my all-time favorite is now the time of year I dread the most. I've done some soul searching and asked myself "what's changed?".
As a kid, I used to literally count the days till Christmas. Who doesn't love toys? What's ironic is it's now the "toys" that have ruined Christmas for me. We can pretend that Christmas is still about celebrating the birth of Jesus. But, the truth in our society is for many people, Christmas is about "stuff". Stores open earlier than ever now as soon as Thanksgiving is done (and sometimes even before it's done) just to sell you more stuff. Cause we all know that the people you love will love you more as long as you get them the best "stuff". Something in my heart feels that something is very very wrong here.
I've gotten to the point where I don't even want gifts anymore. I hate watching TV and seeing the barrage of commercials advertising the latest and greatest. Radio is no better. I'm not anti-Capitalism. Businesses (and people that work at those businesses) have to make a living. I just really feel like something important is being lost though now that Christmas has become the focal point of all this selling.
I still hold out a glimmer of hope though thanks to several things that also happen this time of year. More people than ever helped us in our Load the Lobby campaign to help out less fortunate children. The folks at Lullabelle's in Hannibal once again served free meals to hundreds of people in need yesterday. And, the Quincy Salvation Army continues to be there when many need them most.
WGEM.com: Quincy News, Weather, Sports, and Radio
Am I alone in my thoughts? Does Christmas still mean to you what it once did? This is one case where I really hope I'm the only one that feels this way. As for me, I'm thrilled that Christmas is now over.

A quick post because I'm in the middle of something...
Our annual week with Beve's closest childhood friends. This summer we're on the eastern side of our great state in the home of the college prof and his wife, the nurse. They are, as always, hospitable, gentle hosts, sprinkling welcome and grace with the seasonings on the food they serve us. Last night we sat in their lovely refurbished back patio and garden, created by the hands of a man who makes his living with his thoughtful words, finished for his wife who nurtures for a living, because she's been working overtime in ways he could not share. So creating a garden was something he could do. It's as good a gift as any I've seen in a long time! The work, the product he did out of his weakness, not his strength. Yes, that's a gift.
And today, we drove south to the place where our joint memories begin. Four of the six of us in that Honda Pilot lived within three-ish blocks of each other while we were growing up and the men who are still close began that friendship in Jefferson elementary school. It's been six years since any other than Beve or I have been there so today we drove through the fields ripening toward harvest to all the important places on the four hills of our hometown.
On Military Hill, we stopped first at remodeled Jefferson, which looks nothing like the school where we trudged the halls as children. We pointed out where we wore orange vests and held flags as crossing guards. Beve and the professor (and ME!!!) played cards on someone's steep steps. Then we drove further up the hill and stopped to take pictures at each of our childhood homes--the professor's on Joe St, Beve's on one side and mine on the other side of Janet St, and the Business man's up on Orion. Over that hill, in the high school we looked through the athletic cases, trying to find their names on the trophies while the janitors were trying to lock up the place. All along we told stories, remembered moments, listened to histories as if we hadn't heard them a dozen times before.
Up on College Hill, we went to the two most important places--first, the gyms where the boys (now men) spent every waking hour playing basketball (and I spent many an hour in the nearby pool). Those boys would play in one gym until they were kicked out, wander to the next, then down the line until they'd used up their options--beating college teams all along the way. We checked out the hallways where we'd wait to talk to our Young Life leader, looked down on an empty swimming pool where I'd taught lessons and guarded during the summers of my college years, and the full one where we'd spent our middle school years swimming (or not!) because it was a free place to gather and mingle with the opposite sex. Along the way came out stories we didn't know, lights were turned on for the non-natives among us. Then it was on to Ferdinand's Dairy to get ice-cream because such rich creamy ice-cream is to die for. I watched, of course, having developed a dairy allergy (my mouth now sadly itches when I eat it!) but the others enjoyed the glorious treat.
Then we headed across to Pioneer Hill, where, as we were driving past the home of our old Young Life leader, his wife was just standing on the porch. "It was God-ordained," one of us said as we backed up. She invited us in for a few minutes to visit with her and the old Texan himself. She's frail in body but quick in mind, and he still looks strong of body like the old football star he was but is now frail in mind. We had a wonderful visit with them. She was delighted to see us and he beamed as well, though he didn't say much. I think he knew me--but it was iffy at first. At the end, we got a few photos, and the professor suggested we pray for them. Afterwards I told them that our children have them to thank. That we have raised our children to know Him is due, in no small part, to this old Texan and his wife. "It's because of you." He gave me a hug. "You've made me cry, Carolyn," he said.
"I love you, Sam." I told him. "I always will."
Walking out the door with his wife, she said, "You always had your eye on [Beve], right from the beginning." I just smiled. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth--which is, "No, I actually had my eye on your son for about most of high school, he just didn't look back."
We took a last picture of them standing on their front steps and then we were off to our next stop--our middle school which was also remodeled within an inch of its life and bears NO resemblance to the place we went other than the name. We didn't even take a picture.
Down far side of that hill, though, we pulled into Crimson and Gray to do a little shopping and visiting with the owner, an old high school buddy. Well, mostly he was MY buddy, my best buddy, but these guys all knew him. So the prof and the businessman talked, while the rest of us wandered. I'd loved to have visited with him but today wasn't the time for that. We were on a mission.
But maybe the mission was simply finding whatever we might find in Pullman. Perhaps not having an agenda was enough of an agenda. We ate on the patio at the golf-course at the recommendations of the Texan's wife. The food was good, the wind began to get nippy, the conversation never stopped. Worth the the price of admission was the view as well. The darkening sky, with its portents of storm, the trees of Round-up beginning to twist and swing. The smell of rain in grass. I love all these things. They're all part of the symphony that is summer on the Palouse.
After dinner, we headed north in the middle of the Creator's idea of a fireworks display--lightning! It was pretty spectacular. More than most. We were cozy in our car, singing old Young Life songs, and watching God do better what man can only imitate.
These are such days as most people only dream about. Friends like these. Memories like these. A few weeks ago, SK went to a wedding with her three best friends from college. The pastor told that young couple, "You haven't even met those people who will become your closest friends."
When SK called me a couple of days later, having just taken two of them to the airport, she was sad, thinking of them, thinking that maybe this man was right. "What do you think?" she asked.
I think this week should be answer enough. These men are real friends, Friends for life. From fifth grade onward, they were friends.
Then we got back here, climbed into the hot tub and sank. Aw, Ahhh! Yes, just like that (at least for me).
What can tomorrow bring when today has brought such a rich feast of memories? We can only imagine. Looking back was sweet--like the creamiest of ice-cream from our hometown dairy. And tomorrow...there will be sweetness in the being together as well. Because tomorrow, together: it's always sweet.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm a demon painter having a slow couple of months; those of you who have seen my work over at Canister and Grape will know that I work at a rather measured pace.
Let's review; 20 figs prior to this post, not by any means earth-shattering, but not bad for a tyro.
And here are my last two figures for the 6th Challenge; in keeping with the prevailing theme of the last day, it's more Frostgrave. (Has everyone been saving these up for the home stretch? Everything's coming up Frostgrave!)
First, a Ranger, assembled from the excellent Frostgrave Soldiers box.
I went for a green palette as a kind of visual shorthand; "LOOK AT ME! I'M A RANGER!"
Next up is the Infantryman, with the air of a man who has seen better days; the clothing is bright, but is motheaten and without insignia or heraldic charge. The only obviously expensive item he owns is a two-handed sword.
|Wait up, where's Odysseus? Oh right, Canada...
Fantasy, Ancients, Medieval, pulp adventure, and even a World War II hero, so that's a varied bunch of figures. It's been a great experience, and I'm honoured to have been a part of it, seeing the work of some truly brilliant painters and modellers.
Time to rest up for a bit now, but who knows, I might be up for another go by December...
Stay tuned...!
Brrriilliant! Love it Ev. Even though you've succumbed to the Frostgrave scourge you continued to produce high quality work to the very end. The green Ranger is, well, green and so obviously a Ranger, but he looks to be a really nice guy. The lantern-toting infantryman definitely has a sartorial streak, but by the look of his sword he's obviously compensating for something. I can't put my finger on it, and, funny enough, that's exactly what the lady's say too. <ba-dum-pish> Yup, I'm here with Ev, playing twice nightly - we do charades and dance a nice soft-shoe as well. ;)
I clearly remember at the announcement of this year's Challenge you professed you had other things to do (for THREE MONTHS?).

Today marked the official start date.
I had previously arranged transport via the relocation company to pick me up at 8am to be at the office for 9am. Traffic can be a bit hit and miss, but today it was generally quiet and took only 15 minutes to get there.
Went for a wonder round to kill some time, but in the end went into the office about 8.30.
Rocking up to reception, signed in and received a visitor pass and was escorted by security up to the department secretary on the 17th floor who was the initial point of contact.
She showed me to a temporary desk and then gave me a quick rundown on the building fire instructions, showed me the tea room and toilet facilities on that level and then left me to sort out my email etc. and wait for my new boss to come out from a meeting. I was also told I had an HR onboarding meeting at 10am down on 13th Floor.
By 10am, my boss was still busy, so I just headed off down for the meeting with HR. There were 3 of us who we new that day, and we were give a welcome manbag with notebook/pen and were promised water bottles once they were back in stock. Taken through some of the basics regarding policy, security, IT systems relating to HR etc. This was followed by being taken up to the Government Relations team to hand over our passports so they could initiate the residency process close-out.
Following this, we were each given the latest copy of Marhaba, which is Qatar's premier guide, then let loose on our way.
Returned by to my desk and met my new boss and had a chat with him and then continued with some initial HR stuff relating to letter requests for bank accounts and school applications etc.
I also continued to sort out my email which had quite a few messages accumulated since the account was created and me actually arriving, and certainly gave me a flavour of what was going on offshore from a safety perspective.
The boss also started to work a schedule relating to the various department leads and teams to meet over the coming days, as well as some up and coming meetings which would be good to attend to get some more early insight into what is going on.
I also received an email to attend the medical screening for the residency permit at one of the government facilities, so that is planned for tomorrow afternoon.
Spot of lunch in the canteen was also had, so at least know how that all ticks.
Before I knew it, day one was over and our driver dropped us back at the apartment block.
Tonight my neighbour and I took a wonder up the road to catch a bite to eat, came across a TGI Fridays on the C-Ring road, so popped in there. Was interested to see how it would compare to the UK and also to the one I had visited in Paphos, Cyprus last year. Had a very good steak with Tennessee Sauce (no mention of Jack Daniel's Sauce over here!), Staff were very friendly and price wise, I would have it said it was probably slightly cheaper than equivalent TGI's in Aberdeen. The place was certainly a lot better than the one in Paphos and probably on par with other in the UK I have been to. Only difference of course was no alcohol on these premises, but didn't really make a difference, just something you have to get use to over here.
Not sure if this is a relatively new TGIF outlet, as it doesn't appear on there official website or on google maps yet.
Overall, a good first day I think!

The title of this book is misleading. Jack O'Brien, an almost unbelievably versatile director — everything from the cheerfully camp "Hairspray" to Tom Stoppard's "The Coast of Utopia" — certainly has enough show-business cred to be the center of his own memoir. But this first volume of his reminiscences is largely a portrait of Ellis Rabb. Who?
Performance isn't the only evanescent element of the theater. Fifty years ago, Rabb was establishing his repertory company, the Association of Producing Artists, around the same time Tyrone Guthrie founded his venerated theater in Minneapolis. But Guthrie's theater is named after him, and that name and his reputation survive. John Houseman called Rabb the only genius aside from Orson Welles he'd ever known. But Welles made "Citizen Kane," starred in "The Third Man," hawked wine with that magnificent voice. All Rabb did was direct brilliantly, act extremely well and generate anecdotes about his flamboyant, histrionic behavior: the tantrums, the resignations, the badly handled affairs, the personal viciousness, the irresistible charm. "When they're geniuses," Houseman said, "it's worth it!"
It was more than worth it to O'Brien, who fell under Rabb's spell while the APA was in residence at the University of Michigan in 1962, where O'Brien was a graduate student with a national award for Best Collegiate Musical behind him and a casual idea that he was headed for a life in musical theater. That path took a sharp turn when he saw Rabb's production of "A School For Scandal" in which the director's mastery of space, light, abstraction and acting was on splendid show. In his confessedly random way, O'Brien was so smitten that he impulsively decided that he had to be part of this brilliant theater company, and he boldly went to join it. Rabb's initial rudeness and indifference hardly fazed him; O'Brien had hold of an important truth about working with artists: "I knew . . . that my survival depended upon making myself indispensable, and I [went] about it with a driving passion."
In fact, despite the book's focus on the dazzling Rabb, O'Brien is the fascinating character here. A self-described directionless "dreamer," he presents himself as a "pinball," propelled randomly through life to career heights that elude striving thousands. This is probably a shade disingenuous, but I think not much.
O'Brien is apparently that rare theater type, the man of talent who doesn't have an artist's overheated personality. He describes himself as naturally happy. "Making enemies," he says, "was not in the cards for me." Where others exasperate, O'Brien soothes. When they lose their heads, he is calm; when they throw fits, he is patient. He genuinely adores brilliance in others.
Cheerful and witty, fun-loving and non-judgmental, he's the guy everyone likes to have around. He's also tough, smart and impressively self-disciplined, with the shrewdness to appreciate how fortunate he is. For years, he was more or less Rabb's personal servant ("sherpa" is the word he uses, chauffeuring him, packing and unpacking for him, acting as a shield, an explainer, a conciliating buffer between Rabb and his long-suffering wife, Rosemary Harris). O'Brien understands that he put up with all this for "the single greatest postgraduate course in directing of anyone of my generation."
Not that he realized this at the time, he claims. Rabb, knowing talent was thick on the ground but good servants rare as four-leaf clovers, didn't encourage him to direct. As late as 1972, O'Brien was still dreaming of making it on Broadway as lyricist for the show "The Selling of the President" — a belly-flop disaster. O'Brien was in shock: "From childhood on, my determination to contribute somehow to the writing of musical theater . . . was the driving force in my life, brought to a shuddering stop after the closing Saturday might performance of March 25, 1972." But then . . . .
He was offered a chance to direct "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at The Old Globe in San Diego.
O'Brien had directed a little, including a play on Broadway, but his ambition had always been elsewhere. Even while working for Rabb, "I had held the belief that one day the mantle of Alan Jay Lerner would drop as lightly as cashmere onto my shoulders." Apparently not. A light dawns. "I was not needed, scheduled, or sought as a lyricist . . . for Broadway. But there might just be a market for my accumulated skills as a director." Yes, there might just, as his subsequent Tony nominations (and three wins) suggest.
It was Craig Noel, an old colleague, who gave him the job at the Globe. As Arthur Miller has told us, the important thing is not just to be liked but well-liked.

Happy Thursday! I'm sharing one of the new images from our release we just had on Tuesday, did you hop along? I sure hope so, you won't want to miss a single project.
I kept this card simple and added glitter from my gel pen. Isn't she pretty? I just love her face and hair.


text: Hey There! So, I'm traveling to Europe in a couple weeks. I'll be in Barcelona and other various points throughout the continent for almost a month. I figured I'd be a fool to not stage while I'm out there, right? Right. So it is that I ask that I could pick some of your brains to see if you have any advice/leads/cultural pointers/etc for a lady such as myself. Other than the usual gear one would need (knives, shoes) do restaurants out there supply whites as well or is that something I should pack? Will the language barrier be a massive problem (I have kitchen Spanish, but am far from fluent otherwise?) Is being a girl in a professional kitchen common or relatively rare? Should I walk in to a place that strikes my fancy and ask to speak to a chef or sous? What is the acceptable hour to do this? Should I bring a resume just so these people know I'm not a total shoemaker? Will the fact that my resume is in English render the previous query irrelevant and/or stupid? What other questions am I not asking? Can you tell me what they are, then answer them? Also, if you have a favorite spot for paella/tapas/jamon/anything else I should eat, now's the time to blow it up. You guys are the best! XX Lefty

Today marks the 1st day in a long while, that I can actually say that Yahoo did something RIGHT.
They purchased a 20% stake in a company that I admire.
Right Media.
You see, I come from a internet company where data, optimization and most of all -- RESULTS matter.
That is what my team and I are building -- a company that delivers superior results for our clients.
News on Right Media & Yahoo.
"SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Yahoo Inc. on Tuesday announced investments into two online ad providers. It's buying a 20% stake in Right Media Inc. and its Right Media Exchange, which is used by thousands of companies to buy and sell online advertising through an auction process. The investment by Yahoo is part of a new $45 million round of financing into led by Yahoo, a new investor into the 3-year-old firm, and previous investors including Redpoint Ventures. Yahoo also announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AdInterax, which is used by online publishers to create and manage online ad campaigns. Financial terms of both deals were not disclosed."
Right Media has built a platform that allows for both publishers and advertisers to monetize their media. Publishers get to sell their space to the highest bidder, and advertisers get placement on sites that yield the best result.
Yahoo has made a solid move with this investment -- but more than the 20% stake they took in Right Media, they acknowledged a few key things that years ago, (or months ago) would not have happened.
1 - Yahoo's attitude of -- "we can build it here" is out the window.
(most of the systems that Y! employs are homegrown technologies -- and the internal bureacracy an mantra that existed of "if we did not build it here it does not exist" ideal is gone. Trust me , I know this from my own experience dealing with Y's operational folks)
2 - Yahoo's inventory -- "we are the best at monetizing our space." (well, I dont think so. Ad-serving, optimization and RESULTS based marketing practices have passed Yahoo by, and this investment sounds like a opportunity to gain a bit more of a understanding as to "WHAT MIGHT WORK" for Y's tremendous inventory)
3 - Yahoo's Class 2 Sales Group -- GREAT people, amazing service. But, clearly NOT armed to deliver the best way possible for the CPM's they are forced to ask for in the marketplace of internet media. (performanced based advertisers looking for ROI opportunities)
Today marks the first time (since the Overture acquistion) that Yahoo has responded in a SMART and targeted way, to a landscape of the media world -- passing them by.
Kudos to Yahoo for a smart investment.
Congrats to Right Media.

something else I found......from a Jeep forum.......The problem with T-5 is very complex. From what I have read, the T-5 is rated to 265 ft-lb torque, the AX-15 is rated to 285 ft-lb, and the NV3550 is rated (conservatively) at 300 ft-lb. So, if it is nearly as strong as the AX-15, why does it have such a bad reputation?I hit the website for http://www.5speeds.com/ talk about a shop that knows their T-5s...the guy was very very knowledgeable! He indicated the largest problems (that gave T-5s a bad rap) dealt with a recalled third gear (went from 29 spline to 27 spline). That upgrade is supposed to help beef the thing up a good deal. Other problems deal with incorrect or improper fluid levels. These non-world class transmissions operate without needle bearings (instead having deep oil grooves). As such, they should only run gear oil.I have done a decent bit of research on the "correct" fluid to use. A good friend is the Parts Manager at a local Jeep store and works with many mechanics who worked on these, I have looked over Factory Service Manuals from 1982, 1983, and 1984-1986, searched the Factory Recalls, and Tech Bulletins...When they first came out, AMC recommended using ATF (1982 FSM). However, there was a recall for this in 1982 (Recall Number: 82V125000) indicating that the "ORIGINAL PRODUCTION TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT USED IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LUBRICATION TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSIONS FIRST GEAR." FSM supplement for 1982 (Tech Bulletin) and the 1983 FSM both indicate to use 90wt in the T-5. By 1984, AMC started using a proprietary manual transmission lubricant. This was affectionately referred to as "fish oil" by the mechanics or AMC manual transmission fluid (Part Number 8983 000 000). This fluid was discontinued by AMC and currently, Chrysler is recommending the use of GL3 gear oil.From my limited understanding, GL3 is very different from GL4 or GL5. I emailed Valvoline regarding this (as I haven't seen GL3 or GL4 in a very long time). They indicated that the issue is with the type of sulfate used in the lube. Apparently activated sulfate (used in some GL5 lubes) can eat brass synchros. Valvoline indicated: "The Valvoline High Performance Gear Oil 80-w90 can be used for both GL4 and GL5. The real concern is the type of sulfate used in the gear oil. You can not use an active sulfate for GL-4 applications. Valvoline uses an inactive sulfate that will not harm any yellow metal such as bronze. This allows our products to be used in manual transmissions that have bronze synchronizers."All of this being said, there is an issue with shifting in colder climates. Apparently, the gear lube is almost too thick to allow smooth shifting on cold days, until the lube warms up a little. Many have reported good luck with synthetics, some have cut the gear lube with a little ATF, and some have reported good luck running 20w50 motor oil. I am not sure what the overall best solution is, but the only "Factory" recommended solution is to run 80-90…I hope this was not too confusing, I have researched it a lot and written a similar dissertation in a lot of other forums. This is a little more concise...twmattox is offline Reply With Quote

Quote from: IowaEagle on May 10, 2007, 09:11:07 PMIts available thru a subscription service.subscription to what?As for fluid,you folks may or may not know, Im a professional diesel mechanic. I work on tractor-trailer semi trucks. recently all truck manufacturers have gone to fully synthetic 50w in the tranny and fully synthetic70-90w in the rearends. I have seen how much better the synthetics stand up to these big engines than the old mineral based stuff. we are getting as much as a million miles out of some of these trucks, and a few still have the original drivetrain, so my t-4 has 1/2 qt lucas, and is filled the rest of the way with fully synthetic 50w transmission lube. I used lucas to help it to stick to the parts, (if youve ever messed with the stuff you know what I mean, its like molasas) I actually was having a odd noise in the bronco (T-18 with mineral based 85-140w) took it apart and found nothing, put it back together still made an intermittant bering squeal. just for the heak of it I drained it and dumped in 1 qt of lucas, and filled it back up with fresh 85-140.hasnt made a sound in the 3 years since, and as soon as I did it it started shifting smoother than it ever had when I bought it almost 10 years ago, the stick almost glides into the next hole.
I have an 87 which I bought new.. It came with gear lube, in cold Ohio winters, you had to shift VERY fast, or double clutch on the upshift as the thick lube stops the transmission from spinning rather quickly. They came out with a service note. change it to Dextron. In my workd. no way in a manual box. I drained it and put in full synthetic 80W90 and it worked GREAT...Jeff

Behind the Cuban veil – Washington Blade sends first journalist into LGBTQ Cuba
June 29, 2015
Read More: Cuba, LGBT in the Caribbean, LGBTQ journalists, Michael Lavers, The Washington Blade
Although travel restrictions have been made less severe in the past six months, crossing over the Cuban border as an authorized American remains a challenging feat.
The nation's oldest LGBT newspaper, The Washington Blade, sent International News Editor Michael Lavers to Cuba last month to learn about Cuban's LGBT community from first-hand experience, while interviewing LGBT rights advocates in Havana, Cienfuegos and Las Tunas.
As the Blade's ongoing commitment to coverage of international LGBT issues, Lavers' trip to Cuba was by far one of the most nerve-wrecking and most influential trips of the project thus far. "…I say it this way to people, it was one of the best experiences of my career, one of the most challenging experiences of my career, one of the most complicated experiences," said Lavers in an interview with GayRVA. "Every adjective you can think of is probably appropriate to describe what it's like to be in Cuba."
Last December, President Obama ordered the restoration of full diplomatic relations with Cuba for the first time in 50+ years. As a result of this, travel restrictions, including journalistic activity with an authorized press visa, are less severe.
"I'm laughing because it was extremely complicated," said Lavers. "My editor and I had started talking about going to Cuba two years ago and I applied for press visa three times. We heard nothing back from the Cuban government on the first two applications, but we applied again last December… I once again heard nothing, and then I received a call from the Cuban Interests Section here in Washington towards the end of April saying that the government had approved our applications and we had 30 days to use it once we picked them up."
Once down in Cuba, Lavers (top image) quickly discovered the new evolved standards of the Cuban people and how accepting the society had become in the years following the revolution.
"I would say Cuba is more open than other Latin American countries that I've traveled to throughout the region: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, México, Colombia, Chile," said Lavers, a fluent Spanish-speaker, who is the Blade's leading South American reporter. "But I think in terms of LGBT acceptance or tolerance, Cuba, and this is a compliment to Cuba I would say, Cuba seems to be more open on these issues than other countries in the region.
"I saw same sex couples holding hands in Havana and walking around. There was a number of gay bars and clubs that you can go to…I talked to the cab drivers mentioning Mariela Castro's LGBT rights events and they seemed to know what that was. I would say that in Cuba things are more open, but of course if you leave Havana, like any capital city, things are going to be a little more conservative and less excepting."
Although social standards are more lenient near Havana, Cuba still has a strict political system and a government that attempts to control information and access to media, making it a challenge for the LGBT community to gain awareness. Especially those who object to Fidel Castro's niece and LGBT rights advocate, Mariela Castro Espín, who is the director of the Cuban National Center for Sex Education (known by the Spanish acronym CENESEX) in Havana.

"Basically there are two groups of activists; those who support Mariela Castro and those who oppose her," said Lavers. "If you support Mariela Castro and her organization you're able to access media, you're able to access events that she and her organization put together and things like that. If you publicly criticize Mariela Castro and her organization as the gay right's activist, these bases are not made available to you. So you have to use other means."
Malecón, which is Havana's oceanfront promenade, is a means for members of the LGBT community to share their stories and ideas in a safe and accepting environment. "…it's about three miles long and everybody gathers there at night especially. It's cool at that point and people just gather to talk and play music and things like that," said Lavers. "It's also a place for people to gather just to exchange ideas away from supporters of the government. One way to describe it is Havana's living room. Everyone goes out there and it's an extremely authentic experience, just to get out there and hang out and play music and things like that."
Mariela Castro does her part to help the LGBT community gain awareness while also being a contextor of the Cuban Revolution and government policies, but there are many other advocates who need to be accounted for. "…Mariela Castro is just one side of the story. There are all these independent LGBT rights activists who are doing work down there…In many cases they take pretty serious risks of their lives or personal issues being ostracized or targeted by the regimes. So that's another story that I really wanted to show our readers."

Members of the Cuban Foundation for LGBT Rights are publicly critical of Mariela Castro and the National Center for Sexual Education, "There are some groups who put together their own publications independently of the government and a lot of them are done at home. I have a couple at home and some of them are kind of like a binder that's put together for a class presentation or something like that."
"I can tell you, I've heard some stories about an independent activist that I interviewed …I'm trying to explain it a proper way…their lives have been made more difficult by speaking out against Mariela Castro and her government. There was an activist that I interviewed…she was a part of a group who wasn't allowed to attend the regional LGBT rights conference that happened in Cuba last May. And basically, Mariela Castro and her group organized it and they denied access to people who criticized them, and that's one example."
Lavers opens up about how he respects the persistence of the Cuban advocates and how they are able to do a lot of things with not many resources, which is a much different approach to advocacy than in America. As an objective journalist, it was simple for Lavers to detach his opinions of the American movement from Cuba's, which made it all the more cherishing when members the Cuban LGBT community were extremely accepting and welcoming.
"The people I met were nothing but kind to me, they just wanted to sit down with me and share their story about what it's like to be LGBTQ in Cuba and what they're doing to get around that, supporters of the government and opponents of the government," said Lavers. "One group made me cake and flan in their house outside of Havana, and I understand that certainly was not an easy thing for them to do. They really went out of their way to make me feel welcome in their house, their home, or their apartment. It really was a great opportunity to see Cuba for what it is, so I was really, really pleased with that. I'm really honored that they would treat me so well."
The years after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, gay men, and other people who were "undesirable" were warehoused to agricultural work camps called UMAP (Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción or Military Units to Aid Production). Fidel Castro visited one of the camps as an incognito attendee and witnessed the inhumane treatment, though they remained open through the 1960′s. Castro finally apologized for them in 2010 in an interview with a Mexican newspaper.
As the evolvement of Cuban government policies and societal standards progress, human rights and LGBT rights will, slowly but surely, continue to flourish for the Caribbean Island.
"It's a beautiful country and the people are fantastic and I really hope that whatever happens with the new policies, that will hopefully take place, that the Cuban people will benefit from it. Because they suffered for a really long time and they have to endure what they've endure because of government politics and things like that."
"…we have all these ideas of what it's like to be in Cuba as Americans, but once you're on the grounds it's really a different thing. It's important to experience it and view it with your own eyes and from a different perspective. And I think for Blade, it's important that we have the opportunity to share that story and to share all of those stories that are coming out of Cuba because it is really important that we got a moment to be down there and see how the change of policy affects the LGBTQ rights movement and Cubans in general."

Tidy could possibly use a heuristic that keeps track of img srcs and dimensions and note images where the same image is given, say, 3 or more different sizes, and presuming they are resized transparent GIF references and provide them with alt="" attributes automatically. Especially if height or width is 1. I have an implementation of a compilation of such data for a page, but alas that code isn't mine to share. It is generally safe to assume that single-pixel height or width images are either transparent or purely decorative and thus can be provided with alt="" if an alt attribute is absent. A boolean setting of presume-resized-transparent=yes (or shorter setting) could theoretically be used to control this presumption.

As a team, we have analysed The Apprentice UK; series 5; episode 2. The Apprentice UK is a reality television series which offers fifteen aspiring business professionals the opportunity to become the trainee of successful entrepreneur Lord Alan Sugar. To qualify for this position and in order to survive elimination in the boardroom, the candidates have to execute several tasks and strive for the highest profit margins in one of the two teams. In this series, team Empire and team Ignite are trying to outperform one another. The teams are divided solely based on the gender of the contestants in this episode. For the analysis, we focused on team Empire.
In the analysed episode, 'A Hungry Business', the teams have to set up a catering service to clients who are to be decided and to cater at a corporate evening event. The working environment is highly competitive and the time constraints is immense, within a period of two days the teams have to compose their menus, obtain the relevant ingredients, pitch their catering service to potential clients, supply the desired products to their clients and host and cater at the evening event.
Our initial impressions of the team were positive. All of us shared the opinion that under the command of experienced project manager Rocky Andrews team Empire would flourish. The differences between our individual analyses are mainly reflected in the analysis of the personalities of the contestants. As to the manner of communication, motivation and other differences on a personal level our answers were similar. Therefore we focus on the analysis of the personalities.
In order to fully understand the analyses it is important to acknowledge that 'openness to experience' reflects the contribution of the candidates during the assignment, 'emotional stability' is self-explanatory, 'conscientiousness' resembles the awareness regarding the impact of personal actions, 'agreeableness' is self-explanatory and 'extraversion' indicates whether the person is introverted or extraverted. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is also self-explanatory. These assessments are personal interpretations of the analyst based on the actions, facial expressions and statements of/by the candidates. Besides the analysis of the personalities we also state our most remarkable observations.
As a team and as individual analysts, we did not observe any forms of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination. Since the candidates strive for the accomplishment of a common goal there is, in our point of view, mutual dependence within team Empire. The diversity in the team is overcome by this mutual dependence. In other words, the candidates overcome their prejudice and displeasure for cultural values and habits of fellow team members since the outcome of the assignment is depending on the contribution of each individual team member. The conflicts that do arise are due to the differences in communicational styles and disagreement about how to accomplish the common goal.
On the other hand, we observed a certain form of prejudice within team Empire. Initially all the members believe that Rocky Andrews is highly suitable for the role as project manager for this assignment due to his experience as a owner of a sandwich chain in the north of England. One can claim that this is a form of prejudice since the members of team Empire judged Rocky Andrews too soon or too highly, since he was later proven to be an inefficient project manager.
Strengths and weaknesses
Team Empire attempts to create a unique selling point by having a distinct and consistent theme. The Olympics theme is portrayed through the various dishes presented in the menu and through the costumes and decorations for the setting of the corporate evening event. This consistent theme is the main strength of the team and is the outcome of the combined creativity of the team members.
However, one of the weaknesses is a direct result of the Olympic theme. Team Empire did not foresee the additional cost of the props for the Olympic theme. This proved to be a major weakness of the team since this lead to the failure of setting realistic goals and expectations. The profitability of team Empire was also influenced negatively due to the relative expensive props for the Olympic theme.
Additionally, we believe the above stated is an example of poor communication and decision making since not enough thought was put into their ideas. Initially none of the team members looked at the plans from the perspective of the clients in terms of what clients would think of waiters dressed in togas, the presentation of the food and the inexpensive appearance and incoherence of the props.
Once some of the members of team Empire realise the flaws and improprieties of their plans, they either; suppress their concerns, lack in persuasiveness to convince others of their opinions and concerns or are being ignored by their fellow members and/or project manager, another illustration of the inadequate level of communication within team Empire.
These problems resulted in a downward spiral of morality and motivation. Along with the already low motivation of some members from the start on, the atmosphere in team Empire became unpleasantly. This resulted in heated discussions in the boardroom.
Finally, team Empire lacked leadership to maintain a high morality and improve the communication and decision making. Initially, especially during the brainstorm session, there was little to no hierarchy. This resulted in uncontrollable situation and influenced the communication and ultimately the decision making.
However, as the assignment progresses the project manager centralizes the decision making. One can say that the project manager abuses his role. On the other hand one can also claim that the members of team Empire rely solely on the experience of the project manager. However, once the members of team Empire realise the imperfections and improprieties of their plan, they are unable to improve the situation and neither can they influence the project manager who abides the initial plan.
The image below illustrates a representation of the factors that influenced the performance of team Empire.
Besides the above illustrated problem causing factors, the high costs of the Olympic theme can also be considered as a factor in the failure of team Empire.
However, as a team we share the opinion that the poor communication in team Empire is the main factor responsible for the failure. Since, based on the above shown image, poor communication negatively influences all other factors.Our intervention strategy
· Decisions are the outcome of discussions which are led by the project manager, which is responsible for the compliance of the following rules;
o Candidates may not prevent each other from expressing their opinions
o When candidates express their opinion they are obliged to defend their points of view when asked so
o When a candidate cannot defend their view, he is obliged to withdraw his standpoint
o When a candidate adequately defends his standpoint other candidates are obliged to withdraw their doubt regarding that standpoint
· At predetermined times or when it is necessary, the progress is evaluated in the forms of a discussion with compliance to rules that are stated above

Also sprach Tab Atkins Jr.: > > Couldn't "user swapping" be thought of in terms of an alternate > > stylesheet choice? This seems far more robust than relying on > > changing writing-mode and expecting everything to "just work" (assuming > > fallback can be dealt with in other ways). > > If we're going to do that, then we should just bite the bullet and do > a @writing-mode [rtl|ltr|ttb] {} block, like Hakon suggested way back > during the first incarnation of this discussion. Let's try to get an overview of the various proposals. In no particular order, I see: 1) direction-dependent aliases: introduce aliases for properties with top/right/bottom/left in their names. The aliases are not real properties, and they are resolved when the computed value of 'writing-direction' is known. For example, body { margin-before: 10px } is resolved into body { margin-top: 20px } for lr-tb text. This scheme is described in the current editor's draft: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text-layout/ 2) duplicate sets of properties: two parallel sets of properties exist, one physical and one direction-dependent (aka "logical"). And then one or several properties to decide which of the two sets to use. For example: body { margin-before: 10px; direction-model: logical } Here are two such proposals: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Jun/0084.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2002Aug/0396.html 3) pseudo-classes: introduce pseudo-classes to select elements based on @dir and/or the initial value of 'writing-mode'. For example: body:ltr { margin: 10px 20px 30px 40px } body:rtl { margin: 10px 40px 30px 20px } body:ttb { margin: 40px 10px 20px 30px } This proposal is sketched here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Jun/0190.html 4) media queries: like 3), except that media queries are used instead of pseudo-classes: @media (dir: ltr) { body { margin: 10px 20px 30px 40px }} @media (dir: rtl) { body { margin: 10px 40px 30px 20px }} @media (dir: ttb) { body { margin: 40px 10px 20px 30px }} 5) alternate style sheets: put the rules for the various writing modes into different style sheets that are selected through the alternate style sheet mechanism in CSS. For example, there could be three files: lrt.css contains: body { margin: 10px 20px 30px 40px } rtl.css contains: body { margin: 10px 40px 30px 20px } ttb.css contains: body { margin: 40px 10px 20px 30px } We would probably need to establish a convention to label style sheets that are meant for vertical mode etc. so that these can be applied automatically based on which "mode" the UA is in. --- Brief analysis All proposals have the potenial to solve the problem at hand: to change certain property values when the writing-mode changes and to provide graceful fallback values when a UA that does not support vertical writing shows the document. The proposals uses three distinct mechanisms to solve the problem: 1) and 2) adds more properties/aliases on the "right" side 3) and 4) adds new types of selectors/queries on the "left" side 5) uses alternate style sheets The solutions they offer are also different: 1) and 2) allows only a distinct set of properties to be set based on writing-mode changes 3), 4), and 5) allows any set of properties to be set The cost for implementations vary: 2) uses more memory than the other as it stores duplicate sets of values 1) introduces new complexities in the cascading process; the computed value of 'writing-mode' must be found before cascading can be completed. 3) and 4) introduces new functionality (selectors/media queries) 5) is implementable without any changes to CSS Personally, I'm leaning towards 3) or 4). 5) could also work. I find 1) and 2) limiting in the styling they can express, and 2) much too expensive in terms of memory used.

NEW DELHI: Amid an assessment by the Union government that Jammu and Kashmir will continue to face increased threat of terror attacks and attempts at infiltration, Defence Minister A.K. Antony on Saturday said the country would take measures to foil and defeat such designs.
"The attempts to infiltrate are increasing and our assessment is that this trend will continue because people who are inimical to our country feel that the situation in Jammu & Kashmir is improving. Normality is returning… they cannot tolerate," the Minister said on the sidelines of a function here.
"So, they want to change the trend. There are more attempts of terrorist attack....Our armed forces are always taking precautions. So, rest assured that we will take whatever steps are needed to prevent and defeat this," he said.
He said the assessment was that forces inimical to the country wanted to alter the situation, and the government anticipated attempts to disturb the peace by launching terror attacks. Earlier this week, the Minister mentioned that at least half a dozen serious infiltration attempts from across the border were made. He reiterated that the country's armed forces were taking all steps to prevent and defeat such moves. The armed forces maintain a multi-tier security ring in the State and the state of alert is always higher during occasions like the Republic Day.

As many of you know, we're on a baby-rearin' hiatus. The next GreyZelda related post will probably contain a picture of said baby (Clara Virginia Riter's her name) wearing a GreyZelda onesie or t-shirt for she has taken center stage in our lives. Season announcements are going forth into the world, but GreyZelda's taking a break. I can't say what we'll be when we return or if we'll be or if we'll join forces with others or recreate our image to a whole other theatre company.
The future is gaping wide open, but is quite focused on a little girl who is currently sleeping in her bouncer alongside me as I type.
I'm not at all interested in getting into theatre debates with theatre bloggers or writing long winded essays decrying the state of the stage. To be quite honest, I find the whole darn thing pretty lame and lacking in life content and force. Everybody takes everything so personally ... if someone writes something complaining about this and that, all the other bloggers read it to mean that that person must be talking about them specifically. Ah, theatre people ... thy vanity is laughable and ever so predictable.
So, I choose to hang with a wee thing who takes the world day to day and is experiencing firsts everyday ... she doesn't repeat herself, thank the gods.
So ... someday ... maybe we'll do something again. Until that day, keep on creating, avoid stifling others, avoid the negative nellies and the noids and remember to breathe. And smell those flowers.
