Only Approved Indians is the thirteenth book by Forbes, but the first one featuring fiction. In these stories he captures the remarkablebreadth and variety of American Indian life. Drawing on his skills as scholarand native activist, and, above all, as artist, Forbes enlarges our senseof how American Indians experience themselves and the world around them.
Though all the main characters are of Indian descent, each is a unique combinationof tribal origin, social status, age, and life-style--from native elderand college professor to lesbian barmaid and Chicano adolescent. Neverthelessthe U.S. government (and perhaps white society as a whole) narrows the definitionof "Indian." In the title story, for example, two basketball teamsbegin fighting when one accuses the other of lacking BIA status-governmentrecognition. When tournament officials disqualify the team that lacks "official"Indian players, the "approved" team celebrates its victory.
Forbes's characters want to be unique, but they must struggle for this right,and they must endure pain. Forbes shows how such quests can have personaland political motives and can meet with success or failure and how thosewho search for individual identity must reckon with the identity of theirgroup. Thus, in retelling the story of the Seminole War, Injun Joe caststhe Indians, not the whites, as victors. He cannot rewrite history, butby recreating it he can come to terms with a painful legacy. Imaginationis equally important to other characters: even when they cannot achievechange, they can envision it.
Professor Forbes, chair of Native American Studies and professor of anthropologyat the University of California, Davis, was born in Long Beach and grewup in El Monte and Eagle Rock. He has lived in Davis since 1969. He attendedthe University of Southern California, earning A.B., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees,the latter in history with a minor in North American ethnology. Forbes workedhis way through college, serving on the fire crew of the Lassen NationalForest and driving trucks for Meadow Gold Dairies. In 1960 he joined thefaculty at California State University, Northridge. There he received aGuggenheim Fellowship and then in 1964 moved north to the University ofNevada, Reno.
In 1967 he assumed the post of Research Program Director at the Far WestLaboratory for Educational Research and Development in Berkeley. He thenbecame a professor at U.C. Davis in 1969. In 1981-82 he was named a FulbrightVisiting Professor at the University of Warwick, England, and in 1983-84he was honored with the Tinbergen Chair at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.In 1986-87 he served as a Visiting Scholar at the Institute of Social Anthropology,Oxford University, England.
Of Powhatan, Delaware and other background, Professor Forbes became veryactive in Native American affairs very early, organizing the Native AmericanMovement in 1961. In 1960 he formed the American Indian College Committeewith Navajo artist Carl Gorman and others to create proposals for an Indianuniversity. At Cal State Northridge he developed a proposal for an AmericanIndian Studies program in 1960, ten years ahead of its time. In 1967 hewas a co-founder of the California Indian Education Association and in 1971of D-Q University, the Indian college near Davis. From 1968 through 1969Forbes was a co-organizer of United Native Americans in the Bay Area andserved as editor of Warpath. During the same period and later heserved as editior of the Powhatan newspapers Tsen-Akamak and Attam-Akamik.
Forbes' published writings include twelve books, over twenty short booksand monographs, ninety-five scholarly articles, over one hundred populararticles, numerous short stories, and poems. His first book, Apache,Navaho and Spaniard, remains in print after thirty-two years. Columbusand Other Cannibals is the current culmination of Forbes' thinking aboutthe ultimate social causes of aggression and exploitation and about NativeAmerican philosophical beliefs. His earliest version of the book was sketchedout in 1976 and published in a preliminary version in 1978.
The stories in Only Approved Indians open our eyes to the injusticesof this world but at the same time they reveal magic and provide transcendentvisions of the world as it might be. It is published by University of OklahomaPress (ISBN: 0-8061-2699-X, March 1995).

>>Archaeological surveys and test digs authorized by we, elders of the Kanien'keha:ka Nation, have been conducted at the former Mohawk Institute Indian residential school since October 1.
>>This past week, while on the grounds of the school, our researchers along with Kevin Annett -Rawennatshani, who acts with our approval, have unearthed what has been described as human remains. One bone among sixteen uncovered has been identified, through preliminary visual examination by a competent archaeologist, as that of a young child. This bone sample is described by the same archaeologist as "definitely human".
>>A test dig in a twenty square foot area on grounds adjoining the former Mohawk Institute have revealed a considerable number of bones, as well as buttons which have been confirmed to be part of the children's school uniforms. Large deposits of coal were also found associated with these remains, all at a depth of barely two feet. Several of the bones have also been cut up, suggesting that the bodies may have been deliberately dismembered, while other bones were broken.
>>We declare the area on and near the former Mohawk Institute to be a crime site under our jurisdiction, and we will not allow representatives of the Crown or Church of England, or the government of Canada, access to these excavations because of their complicity in this crime.
>>These institutions have consistently refused to disclose the evidence they possess regarding the Mohawk Institute and the deaths of children under their legal care, and therefore, we are proceeding to charge these bodies with crimes against humanity in international courts of justice, based in part on the forensic evidence we have uncovered.
>>We now call upon our community and the world to rally behind our efforts to bring recognition to the remains of children buried on the Mohawk Institute grounds, and our work to excavate this site. Prior to any possible repatriation of these remains, and because these remains may include children from other indigenous nations, we look to those nations to participate with us in this work and welcome their input, and we urge them to begin their own excavations at local Indian residential schools.
>>We appeal to other nations to send archaeological and forensic specialists and international observers and peacekeepers to our territory to operate under our Mohawk jurisdiction, to assist with our inquiry and protect the burial sites until the remains can be accorded a proper burial according to our diverse traditions. Until these experts arrive to conduct a professional archeological excavation of these graves, we are temporarily suspending our excavations.
>>As our investigation continues, the bone samples will be subjected to further forensic tests, and this data about the human remains uncovered at the Mohawk Institute will be prepared in a final report to be delivered in the spring of 2012 to human rights courts and Parliamentarians in Europe, as part of a campaign to bring charges of genocide against the Crown of England, the government of Canada, the Anglican Church in Canada and other guilty parties.

If Obama Is Serious About American Indians, He'll Offer More Than Eagle Feathers
By Andrew Cohen
Dec 2 2011, 10:15 AM ET3
It's a nice gesture to reassure tribes about their religious use of eagle feathers -- but if that's the best the Administration can do for American Indians, it's not enough
President Barack Obama meets with American Indian leaders this afternoon in Washington but, on the law front, it's already been a tough year for the tribes. In February, the president nominated Arvo Mikkanen, an Ivy-educated Native American, to a spot as a federal trial judge in Oklahoma. He would be only the third documented Native American federal judge in U.S. history. But GOP Senator Tom Coburn immediately blocked the nomination and, nine months later, Mikkanen still hasn't received a hearing, much less a floor vote. Worse, no one in Washington seems to care.
Then, in June, the United States Supreme Court stuck it to American Indian interests in a case styled United States v. Jicarilla Apache Nation. In a 7-1 decision, the Court ruled that the U.S. could withhold from lawyers for the Jicarilla Apache Nation hundreds of documents that may be relevant to the tribe's long-standing mismanagement claims against the feds. Justice Samuel Alito justified the decision by reminding his audience that the relationship between the feds and the tribe was less about trusteeship and more about power.
In the first instance, Congress failed to do right by Native American interests. When asked why he so quickly denounced the Mikkanen nomination, Sen. Coburn told reporters in February, "I know plenty." Yet he has never had to explain what he knows or why it is enough to sink Mikkanen's candidacy. In the second instance, it's the judicial branch that has failed American Indian iterests. Only Justice Sonia Sotomayor called out the High Court majority in Jicarilla. She said that Justice Alito's opinion "rests on false factual and legal premises."
So what is the other branch of government, the executive branch, doing for Native Americans as 2011 comes to a close? Is the White House pushing for Mikkanen to get a hearing? No. Is it pushing Congress to help change the procedural rules in Indian trust cases so that American Indian litigants can have more access to federal documents that pertain to their claims against federal officials? No. Those things would involve the expenditure of political capital -- and the administration has shown repeatedly its unwillingness to spend in this area.
Instead, the Obama Administration is looking inward. This week came news that five American Indians have been named to an Indian Trust Commission that will help suggest reforms to the odious federal management of Indian trusts. The effort is expected to take two years, at a minimum, and of course won't be the final word. And, today, President Obama will go to the Interior Department to participate in the White House Tribal Conference, to which over 550 Native American tribes were invited. He will no doubt talk about his Administration's devotion to Indian interests.
Devotion which is quite underwhelming. Just last month, for example, the Justice Department announced that it is "considering whether to adopt a formal policy that would memorialize and clarify its practice of enforcing federal wildlife laws in a manner that respects and protects the ability of members of federally recognized tribes to use eagle feathers and other bird feathers for cultural and religious purposes." Amid the rubble of Jicarilla and Mikkanen, the feds want to quietly reassure Tribal members that they won't be prosecuted as often for dealing in eagle feathers.
Here is the full text of the government's proposal. The deadline for comments is today. The Justice Department specifically asked for comment on whether a formal new written policy would "help allay the concerns of tribal members" or at least "provide useful clarification" to them about the government's attempt at delicate balancing here between religious practices and wildlife protection. And there's another, related proposal, which aims "to develop a joint federal and tribal training program on enforcement of such laws."
Such laws as the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Enacted in 1940, it was amended in 1962 to include an exception that allowed for Native Americans to use eagles or eagle parts in their religious ceremonies. It is illegal for anyone to kill or harm these protected birds. But the market still exists for their feathers. Earlier this year, for example, the 10th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals refused to extend the religious exemption to a non-Indian who claimed he had a right to eagle feathers based upon his own American Indian religious beliefs.
From the Denver Post piece on that ruling:
Federal regulations provide the exception only to members of recognized tribes who obtain permits and feathers from the National Eagle Repository in Commerce City, which stores feathers and parts harvested from dead eagles by wildlife authorities.
Demand exceeds supply, and the waits for feathers or eagle parts are long. The feathers and parts aren't transferable, except when handed down from a generation to the next, by one Indian to another.
So what do Native American voices, or at least voices that study Native American issues, think about all the Justice Department's overture? Kenny Frost, an Elder and Sun Dance Chief with the Ute Nation, told me Thursday that he is in favor of the new rules so long as they bring a swifter pace to the legitimate eagle feather trade. "There needs to be clarification" about who can be prosecuted, Frost said, because the uncertainty helps cause great delay in getting feathers to Native people who want them for their choreographic healing ceremonies.
"It takes six or seven years to go through the Repository," Frost said. "The wait creates a hardship. There needs to be a much more streamlined process so that Native Americans who wish to do so can obtain eagle feathers or eagle parts." Frost plans to make that point in comments he intends to file with the Justice Department. "The people who sell eagle feathers for profit are the ones who ought to be prosecuted," Frost says. "We don't take lightly when we hold or carry feathers. We value them greatly."
Professor Tim Pleasant, co-director of an Indian Law program at the University of Tulsa College of Law, frames the issue in a way in which many more of us can related. When I asked I asked him to tell me if the Justice Department's move was good or bad, he replied:
Especially since, historically, the Department of Justice hasn't had a lot of respect for Indian religion and culture, the fact that it is pro-actively reaching out to Native Americans while shaping policy on this issue is very much to the credit of the Department. Of course, not every Tribe sees this issue the same way... to some, the use of eagle feathers, claws, etc., is more important than to others. But it is important to realize just how sensitive this issue can be. Asking an Indian to go to the federally controlled Repository to get eagle feathers can be like telling the Jewish side of my family that they would have to go get a federally approved menorah with which to celebrate Hanukkah, or requiring a Catholic to get a government-supplied rosary... and making them wait three years or more to get them.
Meanwhile, G. William Rice, a co-director of the Native American Law Center, took a broader view. Of the Justice Department's effort, he wrote
Perhaps the most positive statements in this release are the suggestions that the Interior and Justice Departments are willing to work separately with each Tribe, Band, and Nation on enforcement matters so that their particular practices will be respected. That respectful cooperative approach should be encouraged, and every effort made to do so in a manner that meets the minimum standards expressed in the recent United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
My call to the Office of Tribal Justice was not returned. I meant to ask Christopher Chaney, the deputy director there, whether the feds believe that merely reducing the current policy to writing will solve the problems Frost identified. Formalizing existing policy isn't a dramatic break from the past, after all, and the long-term solution here rests with Congress. Native Americans who want eagle feathers for religious services should not have to wait "six or seven years" to get them. But will the DoJ's bookkeeping move really help fix that? I am not sure.
Congress is no friend of the American Indian. Surely this Supreme Court isn't, either. And there was a need to clarify the rules on eagle feathers. But is this really the best President Obama can do? I hope an American Indian leader says to President Obama today at the White House: "Don't worry so much about adopting 'a formal policy that memorializes' common prosecution practice; worry more about why there are still only two federal judges in American history who were or are of Native American descent."
That, and not the trading of eagle feathers, is the sorrowful American Indian story of 2011.
Reclaim Land For Buffalo And Lakota Lifeways.
The Knife Chief Buffalo Nation, a grassroots project on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, works to reclaim 1800 acres of ancestral lands for restoring buffalo, and Lakota culture and lifeways.
Home to 26,000 members of the Lakota Tribe, the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, is the 2nd poorest US county. Currently a majority of reservation land is leased by the US government to non-tribal members, with tribal landowners only receiving 50 cents to $3 an acre/year. Reclaiming large acreage and restoring buffalo connects the Lakota with our ancestral lands and reintroduces our youth to cultural traditions and the buffalo while increasing our food and economic self-sufficiency.
Protecting 1800 acres for buffalo restoration involves building 7 miles of fence & installing 2 windmills for pumping water. This increases our herd by 45 buffalo and employs 12 tribal members during construction, and 3 permanently. A larger herd means distributing 2800 lbs of meat to our elders and for use at our community programs, and generating an additional $21,000/year. Hosting Cultural Camps reconnects dozens of youth each year to cultural and lifeways programs led by our Lakota elders.
Buffalo reproduce each year (90% success rate). More buffalo means more income and more youth connected to our traditional lifeways. With the needed capital, we can reclaim more of our ancestral lands from non-tribal leasees. Restoring the vital dynamic between our land and culture can, over time, build a viable, sustainable economy based on our remaining natural resources, which in turn, creates more self-determination and resiliency.
We are very fortunate to have the Pte Oyate (buffalo) back among the people. The generations to come will be spiritually stronger as a result.

party party party
it was a party weekend. we went to another kid party today. this party was much more simple. it was your typical kid party where the kids play and the parents stand on the side and watch. they had organized games for the kids like a sack race and a limbo contest. mason was very shy and didn't want to join in the games but dahlia jumped right in. mason did end up playing as long as he could stand next to dahlia. they also had fun playing a little t-ball with miles. the favorite activity was painting pumpkins. each kid got a mini pumpkin to paint and take home. this was messy but very fun. even connor got to paint one. the whole party lasted only two hours and then it was time to go.

Welcome to our early 1940s fixer with lots of diy: an old small cottage, built when houses were about 1000 square feet and had sleeping porches. I adore romantic, vintage finds and a ruffle of French and Swedish country with a sprinkle of cottage magic: relaxed elegance and whimsy. In our home there is painting, music, gardening, creating, living, kitties, toy poodles, and a pug...imperfect beauty and curiosity.

September passed, so did November. Carly filled most of her hours with her patients, willingly filling in for any doctor who happened to be ill or had time off. Most nights she didn't go back to the loft, crashing on the couch in her office instead. Daniel wasn't pleased. 'You're going to wear yourself out and not going home for days isn't healthy either.' He scolded.
Carly meekly accepted the cup of coffee handed over to her; pushing back her tangled hair.
'If you don't go home today, I'll tell Lexie what you've been doing.'
'She probably knows already,' Carly said cynically, 'and letting her best friend know she's got nothing to worry about. With this schedule I'm keeping, I hardly have the time to chase Bo, do I?'
'Now you're sounding bitchy Manning , that's so not you.' Daniel said disapprovingly.
'You would be in my shoes.' Carly said, thinking about the anonymous note she still had in her possession. One of Hope Brady's numerous supporters wanted to intimidate her. Why you don't face me instead, you coward, she'd thought.Thinking over it carefully, she decided not go to Bo about it. He was protective of her but she had to avoid running to him whenever she had a problem. Besides, since she was disliked by half the town, the writer could be anyone. She refused to tell Daniel about it either, he and Chloe would insist she informed Bo.
Daniel sighed. If only Hope would make up her mind, divorce Bo or reconcile with him; she was seriously getting on his nerves. Only a man in love like Bo would put up with the present scenario. And Hope seemed to be taking advantage of it by leaving him guessing what she intended to do and at the same time treat Carly like her enemy. 'I probably would, yes.' He agreed. 'But don't let it get to you. It's not your fault Hope's playing this game with Bo. And I wish both her families would say what they really feel about what she's doing, acting like a brat.'
Carly shrugged, reluctant to say anything against Bo's wife. The last time she tried talking to Hope, to assure her she wasn't after Bo, all she got was a scornful look and even more scornful words. To Hope, she was playing innocent; just like her previous rival did and almost succeeded until she saw the light at the last minute.
'But if there was a chance she decided to call it quits… is there a possibility you and Bo might take up where you left off?' Daniel asked cautiously.
'What makes you think that?'
'You two were in love once and let's face it Carly; you're a beautiful woman and Bo could do without all this drama he's in the middle of right now. And the guy clearly cares about you.'
'Bo will never divorce Hope or throw any 25 years of marriage, never.' Carly stressed with firm conviction. She remembered the deeply unhappy and traumatized shell of a man Bo was when she first came to Salem, mourning the wife he lost.
'You don't know that,' Daniel argued. 'He might agree it was time to call it a day and want you in his life again.'
'Well, I don't want a romantic relationship with Bo Brady,' Carly's tone was now hard. 'Hope maybe acting like a brat now but it's not like I was perfect either, when I was with Bo. I'm done with romance and Bo's far too in love with Hope to ever think of being with me.'
'I think you're selling yourself short and being unfair to Bo.' Daniel chided.
'No, Daniel… I'm just telling the truth. What Bo and I had, it was a lifetime ago. I care about him too; as a friend.' Carly forced herself to sound convincing and hoped she did. 'Any relationship with Bo now, I'll just end up getting hurt. Hope's the love of his life, the mother of his children. They'll always be connected. You honestly think there won't be times he'll be thinking about her when he's with me?' Inwardly her heart ached at the thought and the other reasons why Bo will remain forbidden to her. 'You mean well Daniel and I love you for it.' Daniel reached out to squeeze her free hand. 'But my answer is no… not possible.'
'It's a shame.' Daniel said regretfully. 'All the same, at least try to get out more instead of working so hard. I know for a fact a few of the guys here have a crush on you and would gladly take you out for dinner.'
Carly shook her head. With a shrug, Daniel patted her hand got up. 'Go home, take a shower, order take-out.'
'I have a lot to do.' Carly protested.
'Go home. Quit making the rest of us look bad.' The grin on his face took the sting off his words and he left her office, closing the door behind him. Carly finished her coffee before replacing her crumbled scrubs for jeans and a long sleeved top, slipping on her warm coat. As it was December, the days were even colder. Christmas decorations were already being hung all about town, she was yet to get her own tree. Wanting another cup of coffee, she stopped at The Java.
Today's the sixth, she realized as she waited for her order. The anniversary of the symbolic wedding she and Bo had on top of the El Castillo in Chichén Itza. The happiest day of her life, only just slightly marred by the fact it wasn't valid as her marriage to Victor was yet to be annulled. This day, several years ago.
The ancient Mayan court. Bo going down on his knees, holding her hand; bright hazel eyes filled with love as he asked her to marry him. Tears running down her cheeks as she said yes, kissing him.
Their wedding day. Bo waiting for her, the morning breeze blowing his black hair, looking so handsome in the native outfit he was wearing; smiling at her as he took her hand. Watching them as they made their way up the pyramid… Roman, Marlena, their hosts- Hank and Soledad, John and their beloved Isabella, pregnant with Brady.
'Ma'am, are you alright?' the boy behind the counter asked, bringing Carly back to the present.
'Yeah… I'm fine.' Carly mumbled, taking paying for the coffee.
'But you're crying.'
Carly touched her face, her fingers wet from the tears on her cheeks. 'I'm fine,' she repeated gruffly, moving to a table by the window. Bringing out a hanky from her purse, she dabbed her eyes and cheeks; nostalgia hitting her hard. A public place however wasn't the place to have a good cry; the boy behind the counter was watching her anxiously. Instead, she nodded at him reassuringly and sipped her coffee.
Her mood didn't improve on running into Caroline Brady. It really upset her the woman she regarded a mother figure was so cold to her; especially since Frankie was an adopted son. Caroline was coming from the opposite direction and her face changed on seeing Carly walking towards her.
'Hello Caroline,' Carly said awkwardly.
'Carly,' Caroline replied curtly.
Carly's eyes moved to the little girl holding Caroline's hand. Curly black hair, rosy cheeks, dark eyes staring up at her solemnly. Carly's mind went back to the past again.
'Give me four and I'll change all the diapers,' Bo promised.
'Right sure you will!' she laughed at him. 'Look, I don't care how many we have as long as we do. I want to be able to carry your babies in your arms and watch him grow as wonderful as his Papa.'
Carly hardly heard Caroline's surprised voice, her heart was too heavy with pain; hot tears sliding down her cheeks as she stared down at the child who now looked alarmed.
'I'm sorry… I'm… I'm sorry,' Carly sobbed, pressing her hand against her mouth, turning away from the child. She needed to get home, far away from this beautiful child.
'Carly, wait a second…'
Carly didn't hear, too filled with grief of what might have been and the secret she was keeping stabbing at her heart. She walked away, determined to put some distance between her and the child… Bo's daughter.
'Grandma, what's wrong with that lady? Why is she crying?' Ciara asked.
'I don't know, honey.' Caroline replied. Carly's tears and the expression on her face had startled her, it was the look of a devastated woman.
Bo hardly saw Carly these days and while he found himself missing her, he was also relieved. The intense feelings he had for Carly wasn't fair to her and certainly not fair to Hope. If he wanted to shed off such feelings towards his ex, he had to stay away from her as much as possible. Much as he wanted Carly physically, it's not like she would entertain him hitting on her. And he wanted Hope back home with him.
Hope came to the house as he was decorating the tree he'd bought on the way from work. 'Looks great,' she commented.
'Thanks,' he replied, folding the step ladder, glad to see her. 'Coffee?'
'Oh, no thanks.' Hope shifted her weight from one foot to the other. 'I actually came by to talk about Christmas Eve. Aunt Maggie was wondering if we're going to host it this year like we always do.'
'Because of the present situation between us, obviously.' Bo said flatly.
Hope bit her lip, nodding.
'We can just end this situation Fancy Face, move back here.'
'I'm not ready…'
'You aren't ready or you simply don't want to; because you still think I gambled with our daughter's life. That you would even think like that – you have any idea how it makes me feel?' Bo asked, anger in his voice.
Hope looked at him, the familiar stubbornness on her face. 'Think about how I felt Dean manhandling Ciara in front of me that night. If you had agreed that I pay the ransom, Dean would've been long gone.'
'Dean would've killed her.'
'So you say, you always have to be right. ' Hope glared at her. 'You knew I wasn't about to lose another child but you made that call anyway…. a very risky call.'
Bo was tired of arguing over it. 'So, exactly how long are you going to keep punishing me over my decision?'
'I'm not punishing you,' Hope denied hotly. 'I just need time.'
'That's not what you said before, you basically hinted you want to call it quits!'
'Do you want to call it quits?'
'Damn it Hope, what's this game you're playing?' Bo lost his temper. Hope flinched but stood her ground. 'What are you doing to me exactly?'
'I'm not playing games…'
'Then what do you want exactly, huh? Because I've spent these past months wondering what you want or what's going with you- and you keep shutting me out. I honestly don't know who you are anymore.'
'I can't do this right now…' Hope turned towards the door.
'That's right, turn tail and walk out!'
Hope paused, her hand on the door, not looking at him. She turned finally, her face pale and strained. 'Ciara deserves to spend Christmas with both her parents. We simply have to put our differences aside and provide her with it. With what she went through, it's the least we can do.'
'And what are we going to do about us?' Bo demanded.
Hope left, not answering. Bo sank into the couch, holding his head in his hands. He was furious, exasperated and suddenly very tired. The result of trying to talk to Hope always ended in a brick wall. Lord knows he tried, tried very hard and got nothing. Hope needed time to think- to think over what? For how long did she intend keeping him in limbo?
Picking up his cell, Bo dialed a number.
'Hi, Bo.'
And immediately Bo felt the anger die away, very glad to hear her voice. 'Hi yourself. It's been a while.'
'I know, I've been very busy. I just got in actually, I'm drawing a bath. Are you okay?'
'Uh yeah,' Bo thought of Hope with bitter weariness. 'Just finished dressing the tree.'
'That's nice. I need to get one myself.' Pause. 'Did you call about something important?'
Why was she so distant? A thought suddenly hit him, today was December 6. 'Today's our anniversary isn't it?' Carly, radiant and beautiful in her handmade lace dress, yellow flowers in her hair.
Another pause then, 'You remembered.'
Guiltily, Bo thought of the years he'd pushed the memory of their symbolic wedding to the back of his mind; all their memories together. They were from another period of his life, when he and Carly belonged to each other. But he never truly forget them, especially their symbolic wedding, despite moving on with his life.'I never really forgot,' he admitted.
'I never forgot either.'
Yet another awkward pause.
'Let's have dinner tonight. I know a great place.'
'You know we can't do that.'
'We're not going to let everybody's stupid attitude stop us from being friends, are we? It's just dinner, nothing more. And frankly, I could use the company. Please?'
He heard Carly sigh then she replied, 'When?'
'I'll pick you at 8.'
When Carly got home, she'd given in to the great sadness triggered by the sight of Ciara and was just recovering when Bo called her. She took a much needed nap after her hot bath and woke up at 7, fully refreshed. She buzzed Bo in and stared in amazement at what he was carrying.
'You shouldn't have.' She murmured, making way for him and the fresh fir tree he bought for her on the way.
'It's nothing,' Bo insisted, carefully placing it at a corner. 'You needed a tree so I saved you a trip. Consider it an early Christmas gift.'
'Thanks Bo, it's very sweet of you.'
Bo turned to look at her. She was dressed in a black turtle neck and matching pants; her shoulder length hair brushed. No jewelry except for a watch and her wedding ring. Bo forced himself not to look at it. 'You look great by the way.'
Carly shrugged at his compliment and Bo wished she would smile. Happy, sad or solemn, Carly looked beautiful all the same but he missed that sunny smile of hers.
'I'll just get my coat.' She said, her heart beating fast at the intense way he was staring at her. She hoped she will be able to get through dinner.
The place he took her to was a seafood restaurant by the river. Inside, booths lined the walls; music played from a neon light jukebox standing in a corner. Bo led Carly to a booth and sat opposite her, her expensive perfume enveloping him. I want to kiss her so bad, he thought; and for once he wasn't angry with himself nor guilty for having such thoughts. He wanted to kiss her and more.
Carly wondered what Bo was thinking; if her feelings for him were obvious on her face. After she married Victor, keeping her love for Bo from him and Victor was agonizing, only Marcus Hunter was aware of her inner strife and didn't judge her. She had to do it, to avoid hurting Victor and to protect herself from more pain from Bo, who suddenly had a change of heart after his constant- and very cruel- rejections. But she'd believed him to be with Emmy hence refused to succumb to his tender words… until the day she found out about the forged letter.
Till now, she'll never understand how things had changed between them. She developed amnesia thanks to Vivian's herbal drugs and oxygen deprivation- believing she was 18 again and in love with James- Lawrence gleefully taking advantage of it. On recovering, she remembered Bo again but her feelings for James- or Lawrence- were still there; what she and Bo did made no difference. She remembered the tears on his face when she returned her ring and kissed him for the last time. Looking back, Carly realized Lawrence did what he did years ago; making her fall for the façade he adopted to fool her. She had fallen in love all over again with James- an illusion- once again. But this time, this time it was too late to do anything about it. And she spent several agonizing years paying for it.
'Penny for your thoughts,' Bo said suddenly.
She blinked. 'Huh?'
'You've been staring at the menu like you're studying hard for the SATS.'
That brought a faint smile on her lips. 'Sorry.'
It wasn't the real smile Bo wanted to see but it was better than seeing her face looking so emotionless. He suddenly realized something else, their roles were reversed. On their first meeting, their proper first meeting, he was often distant and brooding around her. Sometimes they shared playful banter as their rapport grew but then he would withdraw back into his shell, out of sadness over Hope and the agonizing fear of losing Carly if he allowed himself succumb to his feelings for her. Now she was the one alone, distant and brooding.
'How's Nicky these days?' he asked. 'Hearing from him?'
'Yes, we've been exchanging phone calls and emails. He's great, very busy with the estate and the conglomerate. I don't know his plans for Christmas but I might hear something soon.' Carly replied, looking up at the waitress who appeared notebook in her hand. 'I'll have crab cakes, Surf and Turf, and a green salad. Coffee afterwards. Cream, no sugar.'
'I'll have the same,' Bo told the girl who nodded and bustled away. 'Great minds think alike,' he winked. To his delight, her cheeks turned a rosy pink. Miracle of miracles, he'd actually made her blush.
'Quite,' she replied primly, the mask coming back on.
Enough of this crap. 'Am I making you uncomfortable or something?' he demanded.
Carly frowned. 'No… why would you think that?'
'I got good reason to. I understand you're still trying to come to terms with your husband's death and a lot has changed since you've been gone. But I want to believe one thing hasn't changed between us. That bond we had before we ever fell in love. The same bond that's enabling us to remain friends but I don't feel that we're friends at all.' Bo made no effort to keep the hurt and frustration from his voice. 'There's this huge distance between us; it's like you'd rather keep me at arms' length than loosen up around me.'
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to feel this way.' Carly now looked contrite. 'Of course we're friends; of course I want us to keep being friends. It's just… with what's going on with your marriage and everyone's attitude towards me, it's pretty difficult for us to hang out and convince everyone it's strictly platonic.'
'Well, they'll just have to believe it's platonic and find something else to talk about,' Bo said firmly, squashing down a stab of guilt. What will Carly say if she knew he wanted to sleep with her? 'Let's not let them ruin our evening, okay? Tonight is ours, let's talk about something else.'
As they were served their appetizers, Justin suddenly appeared, to Carly's horror.
'Hi Bo,' he greeted, turning his sardonic gaze at Carly. 'Hi Carly.'
Carly didn't bother replying.
'What's up Justin?' Bo said, not pleased to see him either.
'Fine, I was passing by and thought I'd grab dinner. Fancy seeing you two here.' There was double meaning to his words and Bo and Carly immediately picked up on it.
'If you want to make something of two old friends having dinner, go ahead. I don't have to explain myself to you, neither does Carly.' Bo didn't mince words, looking at his cousin squarely in the face.
'I'm not making something of anything,' Justin said stiffly, 'It was just an innocent remark.'
'Nothing's innocent with you,' Carly spoke at last, her tone icy cold. 'I should know, after all.'
Justin inwardly cursed himself yet again over the hospital incident. While he wasn't scared of his cousin, he knew what Bo's temper was like. If he answered Carly back, that episode will come up and he wasn't exactly in Bo's good books these days.
'I didn't mean to offend you, Carly; believe me.' He said smoothly. 'But since my presence obviously bothers you, I'll take myself somewhere else. Enjoy the rest of the evening.' He left them.
'Good riddance,' Bo muttered. He turned to Carly who was stabbing a crab cake with her fork as though attacking it. 'What did you mean by what you said to Justin?'
'We had an altercation months ago.' Carly admitted. 'But I put him in his place and he got the message.'
'I don't want to talk about it, please.' Carly insisted. Relenting, Bo engaged her in conversation and the rest of the evening passed successfully.
Bo walked her back; his boots and her heels tapping the pavement. They cut an attractive picture as they walked along; a few strangers glancing at them, mildly wondering why they weren't arm in arm though they appeared to be a perfect foil to each other.
Bo Brady and Carly Manning were nursing the same thought, how things have changed yet not so changed. Their bond was still there; more obvious over dinner. But what's to be done about their feelings? Bo was confused over his. He loved his wife, though she's been treating him badly. And yet found himself physically drawn to Carly. What did he want from her exactly?
Carly meant what she said to Daniel. Bo will never leave Hope for her or any other woman. That should sadden her and it did, in a way. But she kept reminding herself it was just as well because she had nothing to offer him. This made her resolve easier to bear.Yet, she was aware of how much she loved him. And dreaded how his reaction if he ever discovered her secret.
'Thanks for dinner,' she said when they got to her building at last. 'It was great having a night out for once.'
'The pleasure was all mine. I had fun too.' Staring down at the green eyes illuminated by the light coming from the hall, Bo felt like a callow teenager dropping off his date and wondering if she would kiss him goodnight or if she would be mad at him if he attempted to kiss her. 'I guess this is goodnight then,' he said, feeling foolish and awkward.
'Yes,' Carly mumbled, loving and wanting him so bad she couldn't bear it. 'Well… goodnight. And thanks again for the tree.'
They stared at each other, sexual tension escalating. Carly forced herself to break the gaze. 'Goodnight Bo.' She said almost harshly and went inside.
Sighing heavily, Bo walked home; looking forward to a cold shower.
Carly was shaken by the intense moment; heated passion was in Bo's eyes. If she'd given him any encouragement at all, they would be ripping each other's clothes off right now. And what would it have been, a one night stand or the start of an affair? Either way, she couldn't possibly let such a thing happen and it was more for her own sake than Hope's. Bo would have seen the scars, especially that scar. He would've demanded an explanation for them and he would know what happened to her, what she did.
I have to keep away from Bo, I have to.
Noticing a light on her answering machine as she sat down on the couch, she pressed a button.
'Hi Mum, it's me.' Nicholas' voice came up. 'How are you? Anyway, I'm spending Christmas and New Year at Chamonix. I've actually rented a great chalet already. Uncle Francois' already agreed to come and we really hope you'll be able to join us. Let me know as soon as you get back, love you.'
Christmas with her brother and son; for the first time in years. Carly was more than up for it. With the back breaking schedule she'd been keeping at the hospital, she was due some vacation time. Not only will she get to spend time with Frankie and Nicholas, she'll be able to get away from Bo for a while. But when she got back from the trip, she'll have to make some new arrangements. Picking up the phone, Carly dialed her son's private line. Very pleased, Nicholas promised to send the Alamain jet to fetch her and his uncle.

Xiaomi's Bold Plans May Need Cash
Growth is back at Xiaomi Corp.
After suffering some pretty brutal quarters at the hands of compatriot competitors and a weakening global smartphone market, the Chinese startup trumpeted its return last week at an all-hands staff meeting.
Shipments in the second quarter climbed 70 percent from the prior three-month period to 23.16 million handsets, founder Lei Jun said in a statement reported by Bloomberg News.
"To date, no other smartphone company globally had been able to resume growth after a decline in sales," Lei said in a remark later tweeted by CFO Shou Zi Chew. That's not quite true.
Neil Shah of Counterpoint Research subsequently tweeted a chart showing Motorola had managed a similar feat. Data from Bloomberg Intelligence and IDC indicate that such turnarounds aren't unprecedented: Competitors have resumed growth in both shipments and revenue on both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year bases. Shipment numbers from Gartner Inc. also suggest rebounds have occurred elsewhere. Xiaomi acknowledged a request for comment but didn't provide clarification.
Regardless, this is an impressive feat for the struggling electronics maker.
What's fascinating is that the rebound came after the company ditched its online-only business model and embraced physical stores. Xiaomi has 123 bricks-and-mortar outlets and wants to expand that eightfold to 1,000 by 2019, according to a transcript of the company's meeting last week.
This is not only a huge risk, but a total rewrite of a business model since copied by others including China's OnePlus. By eschewing offline retail and selling direct, Xiaomi was able to control its marketing and distribution and slice margins to the bone. This resulted in astounding levels of price competition while the company churned out decent, well-designed handsets without the financial burden of factories or shops.
The approach wasn't bulletproof, however. Despite moves into everything from scooters to fitness bands, the Beijing-based company still hasn't built itself an effective ecosystem to keep customers locked into the brand. Apple Inc. is the best example of such a moat, and without one, Xiaomi's competitors easily copied the tactic and stole market share.
That forced Xiaomi to get physical. With a 70 percent increase in shipments, it's hard to argue with the efficacy of the change in tactic. Lei Jun is so convinced that he's jumped back into forecasting -- 100 billion yuan ($14.7 billion) in sales this year and 100 million smartphones next year -- 18 months after complaining that making predictions was restrictive and morale-destroying.
It hardly needs pointing out that running your own stores is a costly burden on both the P&L account and the balance sheet. One must assume that Chew, a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. alumnus, knows that all it would take is a few tight quarters for the financial wheels to start looking wobbly.
So don't be surprised if Xiaomi, valued at $45 billion in a 2014 funding round, starts tapping capital markets for another leg up.

Meat Rolls
First make biscuit dough. I have posted a recipe once before that you could use. Click here for that recipe.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
In a bowl combine:
About a pound of uncooked ground beef
About 1 can vegetable soup (concentrated)
I didn't have vegetable soup when I made it, so I used 1/2 can of tomato soup, and one can of mixed vegetables (drained).
Spread meat mixture on top of biscuit dough. Roll up and slice like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls. Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 -30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, melt about 2 tbl. butter in a pan. Add about 2 tbl. flour. When it is combined well, add about 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly. I also like to add about a teaspoon of chicken soup base or bouillion. You are making a white sauce. You can adjust the amount of milk if you like the sauce to be thinner or thicker. Serve the white sauce over the meat rolls.
My daughter asked if I was going to make meat cupcakes the next night for dinner. I don't think she could get past the cinnamon roll effect. My husband suggested I make individual meat loafs in a muffin pan. ;D

I make this occasionally for my family, and they love it!
I use vegetable beef soup, but have tried other soups, and made my own like you did. Try making this with taco seasoned meat and peppers and onions. Add a little cheese on top the last few minutes if you want. Serve it with sour cream and salsa. instead of the gravy for a change.

I saw you said your daughter was asking if you were going to make "meat" cupcakes.
I was thinking about that, have you ever made shepherds pie? You could make that in muffin papers and top them with the mashed potato and call them meat cupcakes. LOL, Rick

Yeah, yeah. Trees and flowers and stuff. Suddenly Henry and Malcolm spotted something of interest: basketball! Soon they got themselves a game of two on two.
Malcolm with the dunk.
Henry slams one down.
Henry dit, "Non!"
Another dunk.
We won't talk about the final score. Henry says they didn't want to embarrass the New Yorkers, and Malcolm assures me that things would've been different had we gone sneaker shopping first.
Monique at a fountain.
Skyline in the background.
At the reservoir.
Monique with a huge branch from her new favorite tree. New York has hundreds of these lovely trees with shedding bark planted all over, but neither of us knew what type of tree they actually are. (More on this when we visit the Statue of Liberty.)
Resting up before our next adventure: The Empire State Building!

This hotel offered everything I needed for my business trip to the area. Free shuttle to and from the airport, friendly staff, good food in the restaurant, and a clean comfortable room. If you wanted to venture in to Venice, the shuttle can drop you off at either the bus stop or the water taxi at the airport.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Although NBA bylaws give the pro basketball league the power to oust owners in certain circumstances, experts said Silver would be more likely to hit the Clippers' owner with a sizable fine and a lengthy suspension, perhaps with the intent of pressuring the real estate magnate to sell the franchise he has owned for 33 years.
On Monday, 15 Clippers advertisers said they were ending or suspending their sponsorship, although most expressed their continued support for the team's players, coaches and fans.
Banning Sterling from playoff games, Garcetti said Monday, is "just the beginning of what should happen."
Garcetti is scheduled to speak after Silver makes his announcement.
The mayor said he had consulted with Sacramento Mayor
"It's unclear what they have the formal mechanism to do. ... But I think that there can be suspension, there certainly can be financial penalties, and long term we should be looking at whether this is the right ownership for the team," Garcetti said.
"Owners retain certain rights. It's their property. But they're also part of a league that has a lot of authority. … This isn't just about tainting the Los Angeles Clippers, this taints the entire National Basketball Assn.," the mayor added.
Garcetti said he favors a transition to new ownership of the Clippers but acknowledged that will probably take time. "I'd be happy with it right away," the mayor said. "But I don't think the NBA has that power right away."
The mayor said he did not plan to attend protests Tuesday outside
The celebrity website TMZ posted an audio recording Friday that purportedly captures Sterling telling a woman identified as
An attorney for Stiviano told The Times that the recording was authentic. Clippers President Andy Roeser said in a statement Saturday that the team did not know if the man recorded was Sterling but that the comments didn't reflect Sterling's "views, beliefs or feelings."
Garcetti called the comments attributed to Sterling "reprehensible."

Regulation - Currency exchange
Cash currency exchange regulation
The regulation of cash transactions in the foreign currency exchange market in France sets a number of obligations for currency exchange professionals, whether individuals or corporates. Subject to prudential monitoring, the currency exchange sector is regulated under both French and European law. In France, it is subject to laws on currency exchange, customs legislation, and anti-money laundering laws, under the surveillance of the French customs authorities and of the prudential authorities of the Bank of France (the ACPR).
Client identification for transactions above 1,000
French anti-money laundering law number 90-614 dated 12 July 1990 and decree number 91-160 dated 13 February 1991 Like all financial transactions through a financial institution in France, individual cash transactions in currency exchange can be performed on an anonymous basis for any amount below 1,000. At UME, for any transaction above 801, clients must be identified with their ID, whether an identity card or a passport. A copy of the companys official registration certificate is required for corporate clients. Any failure to comply may result in a payment equivalent to the seizure of the amounts exchanged, plus a penalty equivalent to at least one quarter and at most the totality of the amounts exchanged (art. 464 of the French customs code).
Compulsory declaration of cash amounts above 10,000 when entering and exiting the European Union
Regulation (CE) number 1889/2005 of the European parliament and art. 464 of the French customs code Any individual entering or exiting the European Union has the obligation to declare holding any amount in cash in excess of a value of Euros 10,000. The threshold is applicable to members of the same family or individuals sharing a common interest traveling together.
UME's currency exchange activities are authorized and regulated under the authority of the Banque de France, of the ACPR and of the French Customs Office. UME is certified ISO 9001:2008 for all of its activities.

Since childhood, almost everyone had fantasized of affording a car with Falcon Wing type doors that would simply move upwards and not outside. Well, did you know that sometimes dreams come true? And companies like Tesla make that possible. Model X of this brand is one such car that has got Falcon Wing type doors. This car is under facelift at present where it is being made more awesome than it is already and will be released in the market as 2017 Tesla Model X. This facelift will modify few essential aspects of performance parameters as well as some technological consoles and hardware parts.
2017 Tesla Model X: Appearance
As far as appearance is concerned, 2017 Tesla Model X looks a lot like Model S from the front view. This is because the grille portion and fascia matches with that of Model S. front grille portion lies mainly in the bottom center of the front bumper. Just below the bonnet, there is a very narrow slit which hardly works as a grille. Headlights are sleeker than that of Model S and are LED make. LEDs have replaced all forms of traditional lights because LEDs last for a longer period of time with least maintenance and are economical too. There are two small fog lamps too in two corners of the front bumper.
Ground clearance is standard in this car; still, care must be taken if this car is used for off road drive. Standard quality alloy wheels of 18 inches have been installed in this car. The main attraction of appearance is its Falcon Wings type doors. The passengers who will be seating in the rear section can get in and out of this car with the help of this super stylish Falcon Wings type which spectators would simply stare in amazement.
Since Model X is an electric car, engine specification mainly depends on the nature of battery and charging technology. In all probability, seventeen speakers in total are fitted inside this car as a part of an audio system. This is a three-row seat car which has room for passengers as well as luggage.
Model X will feature consoles like Bluetooth, navigation, automatic climate control, heated seats, audio system, touch screen for interactive interaction, etc. there will be safety features such as ABS, lane assistance, dual air bag, rear view camera, stability control, etc.
2017 Tesla Model X: Powertrain
As far as performance of 2017 Tesla Model X is concerned, this car takes around 3.3 seconds of time to reach 60 mph from 0. Top speed of Model X has been rated at 155 mph. This all wheel drive car has a range of 250 miles on a single full charge of battery. Power produced by the engine of this car is up to 532 hp. Fuel rating of new Model X is 89 mpg.
2017 Tesla Model X: Price
The 2017 Tesla Model X has been fixed with a price of around $81,200 for the base version. This price will increase depending on the feature and trim chosen which is obvious.

Determing the Factor that Affect Heart Rate
Extracts from this document...
Determing the Factor that Affect Heart Rate Prediction: - I predict that during exercise the heart rate will substantially increase, and then decrease afterwards. This will tale place during the resting period. Analyse: - From my results I found out that the heart rate of the students increased substantially after exercise. This was true for all students. After the exercise had been performed (resting period), the heart rate gradually decreased, hopefully to its resting or "normal" heart rate. This was also true for all students. The resting rate and the heart rate at the end of the exercise; approximately 6 minutes after should be exactly the same as the The patterns that I found out from the results during the 6 minutes resting rate, in which also the heart rate was recorded, was that, it gradually decreased towards rate which is exactly the same as the resting rate. Another pattern that I have found is that the reading taken immediately after exercise and that at one minute has the greatest difference in beats. Other consecutive minutes decrease at a smaller difference. This is observed in all students. This can be seen in the 3rd persons results. As you can see the resting rate is 82 beats per minute. The rate after exercise is 113 beats per minute. As you can now see, after this reading at each consecutive minute, the heart rate starts to decrease. At the end of 6 minutes the heart rate has returned to normal (resting pace). ...read more.
at 2 minutes * Person 3 : 3 anomalous results, at 2,3,5 minutes * Person 4: 1 anomalous result, at 5 minutes * Person 5: 3 anomalous results, at 2,3,6 minutes EVALUATION: - From looking at the results and the graphs I think that the method wasn't very good, and there are too many anomalous results. I think that the procedure that they used in the experiment was o.k. however accuracy and an evidence of a procedure containing a fair test could have been more implemented. Judging from the results the procedure that they used wasn't very reliable and good. A higher level of the aspect fair test could have been used. By looking at the results I have suggested a few factors that could be responsible for the fault in the procedure > Each students could have been in a different emotional state, e.g. stress etc. > The students could have different levels of fitness. This would result in his resting time being much longer than of a fitter person. One student might be fit and the other not. > Before the experiment would have been carried out, the students could have ran there or jogged, this increasing their heart rate before the experiment. This now becomes an unfair experiment. > During the resting time, one or the others could have seen or heard something or moved randomly so suddenly that it had an affect on the heart rate. ...read more.
NEW PLAN: - To make/improve the experiment I have suggested a new method that can and could replace the present. My proposed method is as follows: - Firstly group 10 students in suitable groups depending on their size and weight. Then group the students in the correct criteria. Once this is done give each student the same kind of stopwatch. (This would reduce the % of low accuracy within the experiment. By grouping the students it would produce a fairer and more explanative set of results. It would become easier to analyse the results and compare them between fit and unfit people). Now choose an exercise, which each group can do at the same, at the same place. This ensures a fair test. Get all students to start and end the exercise at the same times. This ensures a fair test and accurate results. Then start the students off on the exercise for approximately minutes. This would give enough time for the heart to warm up. At the end of two minutes stop all the students and immediately after this instruct them to measure their heart rate. By this time all students must be motionless. Tell them after this to start timing 1 minute on their stopwatch. All students now must record their heart rate at the end of each minute for 6 minutes in total. Whilst the students are recording their heart rate their hands must be firmly pressed against their chest so that they can feel the heart beat. All students must stay still sitting on a chair throughout measuring their heart rate, apart from when they record it immediately after the exercise. ...read more.

Hello everyone. I am extremely frustrated to say the least. I cannot figure out how to set up a multi instrument in Kontakt Player 2 and Logic Pro 8. I have searched the forum for hours and found things that looked like they should work, but I MUST be missing something. So here goes...
I start with a blank project then select one Software Instrument. I go to the box under the I/O and select Kontakt Player 2 > Multi Output (16xStereo). I clicked on outputs in the Kontakt Player and hit "Make Default" then closed Logic and reopened it.
I then selected the same Mutli Kontakt and loaded my instruments. Lets say I start with Violins and Cellos. In the Arrange Window I have 2 tracks, both from the same Kontakt Player. The Violins are MIDI Channel 1 and the Cellos MIDI Channel 2. Now, what do I do next because this is what I did so far:
Made the Output in the actual Kontakt Player for the Violins 3-4 and the Cellos 5-6 (I remember someone saying don't use 1-2 for some reason but am not sure why). I went to the Mixer Window and hit the "+" to add 2 Stereo Aux Channels. I then made the input of the first Aux Channel "KontaktPla 3-4" and the second Aux Channel's input "KontaktPla 5-6." This linked them in the Mixer to "Inst 1" as I though it should (only in the "Single" view). But, no matter what I do the sound still skips the Aux Channels and goes to Out 1-2.
What am I doing wrong? I'm really getting tired of loading separate Kontakt Players for every instrument. I can't EQ one Kontakt Player if I have all the strings running through one EQ. If I raise the low end for the Violins a tad it gets mushy because of the Bass and so forth.
What am I doing wrong? I feel like I've tried everything, but I can't get it to work. PLEASE HELP ME!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm really not angry, just depressed and confused )

Recipe for Buckwheat and Yoghurt muffins – with dried cranberries for an extra sweet bite.
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
1 1/2 cups wholewheat flour
2 cups vanilla yoghurt
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup agave nectar (maple syrup or honey can be used)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbs melted butter
1 cup dried cranberries
How to
Mix flour and yoghurt and let the dough sit for 12-24 hours.
Muffins will rise better the longer the dough sits, but overnight is fine.
Preheat oven to 325 F/160 C. Line muffin pan with muffin liners.
Beat eggs then add the rest of the ingredients, adding the baking soda last. Blend well.
Add the dough and mix just enough to blend the ingredients. Do not over-mix!
Spoon batter into muffin tins and bake for about 20 – 30 minutes or until a fork or toothpick comes out clean.

Much to its surprise and anger, Continental Bank got caught in a bureaucratic brawl among Washington regulators and ended up with a black eye and a bloody nose. Sometimes a bystander deserves to get cracked for wandering too close to the fray, but in this case the bank was unfairly roughed up.
After pondering for 14 months, the Federal Reserve Board told Continental last week that it cannot buy a small bank in Arizona. The stated reason: A New York-based union had charged, and the Fed agreed, that Continental was not living up to a federal law requiring investment in low-income neighborhoods.

Thread: Pros/Cons of Summer Job Choices
03-22-2008, 01:33 PM #11*You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.
*Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason once accepted, despite your changing moods.
C.S. Lewis
I look back at my jobs during college summers fondly.
General Retail
Pros: Offers experience with a wide variety of customers and situations.
Cons: Can be difficult and even fatiguing for those who dislike hosting or complaisance. If significantly categorized as food service like Starbucks, cultural treatment of such employees (i.e., disrespectful) may apply. Corporate practices can be onerous, especially when management encourages up-selling clearly unnecessary products.
Record Store
Pros: Nearly everyone who walks in the door knows what they want. Those that don't are the rare present-purchasing aunts, who are pleasant surprises in any case. No hassles. Ten years ago, employee discounts meant an effortless way to build a collection.
Cons: Often independent businesses or small chains, so minor aspects of labor law (in my experience, breaks and lunch) may not be observed.
As for compilation, I recommend against theorizing. The working world is nothing like the unacquainted believe it to be.
I vote none of those three. I worked jobs I hated every summer in college, and I still regret it. :sad:
Do something fun which you can only do when you have the entire summer off. I am still kicking myself for not going on some type of wilderness trip.

Free trade Agreements, any impact on the car scene here?
India and Thailand have a free trade agreement. So what does it mean for the auto industry.
In the list given, there are lots of auto components like flywheels etc.,
So dues it mean that if a manufacturer imports stuff as CKDs they will save a lot of duty?
Any trade experts like to comment on this one?

On the Innova for example, TKM India makes all transmissions and ships out to Thailand and local consumption and Thailand makes all engines?? etc and ships to both countries. This way, they dont need 2 exclusive transmission facilities. Honda also has a similar strategy for the City.

One answer, Volumes in the market.
An assembly line needs to justify its investment, a press shop too (for sheet metal parts), be it in India and/or Thailand.
You have sufficient volumes justifying the investment, you can win, remember you also need to put a really obscene amount of money in tools & dies, say the die for a front fender of the Ambassador in India costs 5 crores, multiply the number into the number of press lines you have (no of machines pressing out sheet metal parts of the same type)
Just the assembly line won't suffice, you need dies as well. Dies are relevant to the particular body shape or form of the final sheet metal product. You also need a paintshop if you are going to have a press brake shop - the machine which punches out parts of sheet metal is called press brake.
Again, you need a press brake to trim the metal from continous colled rolled sheets of metal.
Expensive to replicate a factory, that's why CBU/CKD help. Say the accord gets all its parts imported, you can then tailor your assembly line/trim line to accept that car.

Funny. Had seen that news item, and was considering creating a thread, when GTO's thread on the EU's treaty comes up, I wait if somebody posts this news item there, and now this thread.
I have serious doubts if that will impact Hyundai in anyway. AFAICT, Hyundai's best sellers have highly localised components. At best, the components would be sourced from Korea. Or components would be directly sourced by the Korean parent from Indian component makers. Either way, we have something.

The India EU Free Trade Agreement for cars
Europe's carmakers are crying foul over a proposed trade agreement between the European Union and India, which they say would restrict access to one of their most important but highly protected markets.
The industry, led by Germany's powerful VDA carmakers' association, says the agreement as discussed would grant Indian-built cars immediate duty-free access to the EU but would only reduce the tariff barrier to European vehicle exports to a level of 30 per cent, which would stay intact indefinitely.
