Garage Door Repair, Kern County, CA
"Dear Mr. Ruiz, We want to thank you for repairing our door that was "repaired" back in May. Many errors were found when we asked that the door receive an adjustment; and, your company repaired it at no cost! We were amazed! Especially, in this time of a bad economy! We have never allowed anyone, except your company, to do repair work on the door. You created it — over sized and aluminum for light weight. We never had any problems except a spring breaking. You repaired it…added a motor capable to lift it. We thank you in the most profoundest of terms. We have always recommended your company to our friends, but now we will recommend your integrity and reputation for good work! Your repair man represented your company well…David, by name. He was very professional and courteous, as well as skilled. He recommended a yearly check-up to make sure that all is going well…and we will! =) Again thank you for backing-up your work…and treating us well. - Paul & Geri"
Garage Door Installation, Kern County, CA
"Recently I engaged the services of King Door Co., to construct and install a garage door where I once had a gated carport at my residence. I do a lot of business with various companies, and usually I end up having to write letters expressing dissatisfaction with the work. Not so in this case! In fact, my husband and I are thrilled with not only the quality of the work but our entire experience with King Door from start to finish. Mike was my first contact with King Door, and he was very friendly and professional and actually called me back when he said he would. After David came out to look at my carport, Mike promptly followed up with an estimate and, thereafter, followed up with me again to see if I made a decision regarding the estimate. I am a very busy professional, and I really appreciated how easy Mike made everything. The other garage door company I received a bid from never even called me back to follow-up. On the day of the installation, David and Shane came to complete the construction and install the garage door. They did a fantastic job and were professional and easy to work with, as was everyone at King Door. You should be proud of the people you have working for you. There are not enough businesses that understand that friendly professionalism goes a long way. I will not hesitate to refer business to King Door. Thank you for doing such a great Job! - Brenda"

Hi Jeni, thanks for your suggestion, but the problem with that technique is that you can declare sub-elements with the same name, which would effectively mean that you'd declare something like: <test> <element> <element> <terminal_element/> </element> </element> </test> as an infinite loop when the schema would merely specify it as a nested element. Using the complex type definitions (as they're usually the reason that an infinite loop occurs) leads to similar problems, because it's possible that the same complex type could be used in different parts of the document so the fact that you've 'hit' it twice doesn't mean that it's an infinite loop. hmm. I guess that this problem is trickier than I originally thought, then! thanks for your help, Allan |-----Original Message----- |From: Jeni Tennison [mailto:email@example.com] |Sent: 10 January 2003 12:28 |To: Allan Jones |Cc: email@example.com |Subject: Re: infinite loop | | |Hi Allan, | |> While we're on the subject of infinite loops, does anyone have any |> idea how to detect an infinite loop in a schema programatically? |> Particularly, i'd like to use xslt to detect and infinite loop in an |> xsd schema.

Terminator 2. The Empire Strikes Back. Aliens. These may be more the exception to than the rule, but some sequels have been known to surpass the originals. And that's what McLaren is going for with the introduction of the new 720S at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
McLaren Automotive hit the scene in 2011 with the launch of the MP4-12C, which in turn lead to the 650S in what has since been aligned as the company's core Super Series. Compelling as it is, though, the 650S was more of a refresh on the 12C. What you see here is a completely new model – and McLaren's first real effort at entirely replacing one of its celebrated supercars.
Like its predecessors and stablemates, it's built around a carbon monocoque, with a twin-turbo V8 mounted behind two seats and driving the rear wheels. But those building blocks have all been reworked, and so has everything else around them.
For starters, the engine that displaces 3.8 liters in the 650S (and everything else Woking makes) has been enlarged to a nice round 4.0. It's also been fitted with new twin-scroll turbochargers and lighter internal components – 41 percent of which have been replaced from the previous version.
Output has increased as a result to 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. In and of itself, that's already enough to embarrass the new Lamborghini Huracan Performante and the Ferrari 488 GTB by both measures, and by some margin. In fact, you'd need to step up to a twelve-cylinder supercar like the new Ferrari 812 Superfast or Lamborghini Aventador S to exceed those figures.
Impressive, but there's more to McLaren's latest than its output. The power-to-weight ratio (which the automaker claims as the best in its segment) is further optimized by a lighter monocoque chassis and other weight-reduced components that keep the lightest dry weight down to 2,828.5 pounds, and the curb weight (with fluids) to 3,128 – several hundred less than either the 488 or the Huracan.
The 720S has some neat tricks up its sleeve, too. A "welcome sequence" deploys the mirrors, sweeps up the indicator lights, switches on welcome lights, and illuminates the engine bay as the driver approaches. Open the butterfly door and it deploys the Folding Driver Display, which can be used under way in either full array or in a slim display mode to provide only the information needed without further distraction when putting the pedal to the proverbial metal.
There's a Variable Drift Control system (ostensibly like the Drift Mode in the Ford Focus RS), and a reprogrammed Proactive Chassis Control II system based on algorithms researched at the University of Cambridge. Other features we loved from the 650S are still present, including the quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the precise electro-hydraulic power steering, hard-gripping carbon-ceramic brakes, brake steer system, and the magnetorheological damper that does away with traditional anti-roll bars.
The whole thing is enveloped in fresh aluminum bodywork that ushers in a new, more fluid design language for the brand – though part of us liked the old one better. The minimal surface vents (which still improve cooling by 15 percent) and teardrop-shaped greenhouse remind us somewhat of the Pagani Huayra, and promise improved outward visibility. Meanwhile the interior (trick displays aside) is designed to be more luxurious and ergonomic than any McLaren before.
The sum total of everything McLaren has put into (or taken out of) the new 720S is positively blistering performance. The manufacturer cites a 0-60 time of just 2.8 seconds, a quarter-mile in 10.3, and a top speed of 212 miles per hour. That ought to make for quite the followup act, and a sequel that looks poised to completely overshadow its predecessor – not to mention the competition.

In the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, students practice the effective ground grappling/fighting methods of Brazil which involves exploring the various arm locks, leg locks, shoulder wrenches, chokes, positional escapes, defenses and ground strategies that characterize the game. Students learn how to control, dominate and subdue an assailant who is much larger, stronger and faster than they are with minimal effort.
Beginning level students first learn the basic movements of BJJ, these are the foundation upon which you can build your ground fighting game, areas covered include:
Body positioning – how and where you place your body in relation to your opponent determines who establishes control first. Body positioning also determines the amount of energy you expend trying to escape and the overall effectiveness of your control.
Positional escapes – learning to escape different positions is the second foundation point of basic learning. Before a person is ready to beginning looking to attack an opponent on the ground they must be able to escape from weaker positions and look to obtain a position from which they can win the fight.
Positional dominance – in this area students learn to dominate and control their opponents once they have achieved a dominant position. There are times when you need to dominate and control a person for a lengthy period of time because they are much larger and stronger than you are. Once you develop the ability to dominate and control someone from a superior position, you are now ready to learn submissions
Submissions – can be classified as chokes, strangulations, and joint manipulations. In order to use the minimal amount of force required to make someone tap, you must learn the mechanics of each one. Once you develop a specific level of proficiency with the above sections, you will then move on to developing intermediate skills such as the use of combinations and strategy.

Latest News
Imam agrees to be deported
SAN FRANCISCO - Muhammed Adil Khan, the Pakistani imam linked to an ongoing terrorism investigation in Lodi, agreed Friday to be deported to his homeland rather than fight federal immigration charges.
While the government claimed Adil Khan's deportation was a victory in the war on terrorism, the imam's lawyer, Saad Ahmad, said U.S. authorities would not let his client leave if he were a true terrorist threat.
Adil Khan decided to leave because "he and his father in Pakistan are both suffering from heart conditions, his family life has been disrupted and his family has been terrorized," said Ahmad, adding that Adil Khan's wife and children in Lodi have received obscene phone calls and threatening visits since the imam was arrested June 6.
But immigration officials characterized the deportation as a preventive tool.
"As part of this ongoing investigation, (immigration officials) and other agencies involved are using a range of strategies, including both criminal and administrative proceedings, to remove any potential threat to the community," said Ronald E. Le Fevre, San Francisco chief counsel of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"ICE will not allow foreign nationals to use the United States as a haven for activities that potentially put our nation or other nations at risk."
The surprise agreement, announced during a hastily called immigration hearing in San Francisco, came amid the FBI's ongoing probe of al-Qaida connections in Lodi, a San Joaquin farming community of 62,000.
Adil Khan, who came to Lodi as imam in 2001, is portrayed in federal court documents as masterminding a plot to groom al-Qaida recruits in California. According to the documents, his accomplice is fellow Pakistani Shabbir Ahmed, another Lodi imam, who also faces immigration charges but is fighting his deportation.
Adil Khan, 47; his son Mohammad Hassan Adil, 19; and Shabbir Ahmed, 39; are among five Muslims from Lodi's large Pakistani community arrested last month by federal agents. So far, none of the five has been charged with any terrorist acts.
The investigation was triggered by the arrests of ice cream vendor Umer Hayat, 47, and his son, Hamid Hayat, 22, who are charged with making false statements to FBI agents about their involvement in an al-Qaida training camp near Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
According to federal court documents, Hamid Hayat admitted during a lengthy interrogation that he attended the camp for six months in 2003-04. According to the documents, his father admitted financing the venture.
In the documents, the Hayats are said to have identified several other Lodi-area men they said also attended terrorist training camps in Pakistan. They said the Lodi-area jihadists would take their direction from Ahmed, who answered to Adil Khan, according to the documents. Adil Khan, in turn, allegedly took orders from the operator of the terrorist training camp near Rawalpindi, Fazler Rehman - whose "boss" is Osama bin Laden.
The documents say Umer Hayat claimed "Adil Khan's purpose in America is to develop a U.S.-based madrassah which would serve the same purpose as the madrassahs in Pakistan."
The Hayats now deny that scenario, according to prosecutors.
Their attorneys claim any statements by the Hayats about terrorist training camps were made under extreme duress.
In a separate development in Sacramento Friday, a federal judge in the Hayats' criminal case refused to postpone their Aug. 23 trial, rebuffing prosecutors' strong pleas for more time to canvass 40 government agencies for potential evidence.
U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. noted the "defendants are pressing their right to a speedy trial" and the prosecutors did not make an adequate showing that they cannot be ready. It was a significant victory for defense attorneys Johnny Griffin III and Wazhma Mojaddidi, who have been pushing to get the case to trial.
In seeking a delay, prosecutors R. Steven Lapham and Robert Tice-Raskin cited the volume of material they must gather and analyze. A search of the Hayats' Lodi residence yielded 2,000 pages of documents in four languages and 400 "forms of loose media," the prosecutors told Burrell, and the government is still in the process of reviewing that material.
"This is not a complex case at all," countered Griffin, Umer Hayat's lawyer and himself a former state and federal prosecutor. "They are charged with false statements.
"When you indict somebody and put them in jail, you are supposed to have all your ducks in a row."
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys in the Hayat case said Friday that Adil Khan's deportation would have no impact on the trial, despite the government's depiction of the imam as a terrorist recruiter connected to al-Qaida figures in Pakistan.
"Why would I want him as a witness?" said Griffin. "The FBI has painted him as a man with questionable ties and a checkered past. If I called him, the prosecutors would just dirty him up on cross-examination and hope it rubbed off on the Hayats."
One government source said just because Adil Khan is being deported doesn't mean he won't be charged with terrorist acts eventually if the evidence warrants it. "We're still continuing to look at this guy hot and heavy and we're going to continue to do that up until the time he gets on a plane."
Ahmad - the attorney for Adil Khan, his son and Shabbir Ahmed - said his clients were "in the wrong place at the wrong time. Obviously, if my clients were dangerous they wouldn't be allowed to leave."
Ahmad maintains his clients were victims of an internal power struggle at the Lodi Muslim Mosque and were turned in to immigration officials by a faction that had seized power from Adil Khan's supporters.
Adil Khan started coming to America in the 1980s to raise money for his father's Karachi madrassah, the Jamia Farooqia School. The school, which has 4,000 students, has produced warriors for al-Qaida, according to the U.S. government.
But in America, Adil Khan preached peace and tolerance, his supporters say, declaring his intention to create a progressive Muslim school here open to girls as well as boys, non-Muslims and Muslims alike.
When he learned the Lodi mosque planned to start its own school, he formed a collaboration and in the spring of 2001 came to the United States on a religious visa to serve as imam.
His lawyer said Adil Khan - who will leave with his family of five within two weeks - will continue to spread a message of peace and inclusion in Pakistan. "He's going to be a great asset to the Pakistani government in the war on terror," Ahmad said.
The other former imam, Shabbir Ahmed, remains in custody in Sacramento County jail pending his Aug. 9 immigration hearing. "He has chosen to fight this charge because he's younger and has no family here," his lawyer said.

Available Bands
New Orleans band that provides jazz trios, brass bands, and everything in between for private events across the U.S. and abroad.
New Orleans Band for your upcoming event!
The Louis Armstrong Society is a New Orleans band that plays great jazz music for every kind of occasion. We've been playing private events for over 10 years - that includes wedding receptions, corporate events, non-profit fundraisers, jazz festivals and even a few birthday parties! Whether you're looking for a smooth trio, a classic dixieland jazz band, or a full on brass band for your next event, look no further than the one and only Louis Armstrong Society Jazz Band.
The following descriptions will give you an idea of what LASJB can offer, but we pride ourselves on matching the perfect music for each event. Based on the size of your venue, number of guests, type of occasion, and event budget, we'll customize the size and instrumentation of the band. All bands provided by the Louis Armstrong Society are excellent at reading the crowd and delivering the perfect music throughout the evening, moment-to-moment. You never know what the occasion calls for or what we can come up with, so when you're ready just give us a call and let's see what we can do to "jazz" up your next event!
Jazz Trio - Soft & Classy
A jazz trio gives a soft, classy vibe to any cocktail reception or dinner party. The band helps create a sophisticated ambiance and blends into the atmosphere of your event, allowing conversations and networking to flow easily. Instrumentation typically consists of a guitar, bass, and horn (trumpet or saxophone). LASJB recommends a jazz trio for a smaller reception or venue with approximately 75 guests or less.
Small Band - New Orleans Style
A jazz band with 4 to 5 instruments can be the perfect "medium" fit for a mid-size party (or mid-size venue) where you want to highlight the music at a fun cocktail party or special convention. This will get you a real "New Orleans band" in the sense that the music will have a strong New Orleans feel and the band can be a key part of the entertainment for the event. Here the typical audience size ranges from 75 to 150 guests in a medium size room, where light dancing is possible but not the focus of the event. Instrumentation is typically guitar, bass, drums, horn (trumpet or saxophone) with the option of adding piano, vocalist, or an additional horn.
Full Band - Life of the Party
The full Louis Armstrong Society Jazz band comes with 6 to 8 musicians and is known for being the life of the party! This high-energy band is perfect for an audience of 150 or more and is great as the featured entertainment of the evening (for convention entertainment, you may also want to check out our shows featuring dixieland jazz or jazz philosophy). Ask about throwing in a traditional second line parade, and make sure the venue is large enough to keep the dance floor going throughout the night! The full band includes piano, bass, drums, guitar, 1 to 3 horns (trumpet, saxophone, trombone) , and a female vocalist.
To discuss the details of your private event and get a free price quote, please email email@example.com or call Jimmy Maxwell at (504) 391-9810.

Book Signing...
Sunday, May 1st, 4pm @ Book Revue in Huntington.
Local author CARL SAFINA will speak about and sign his new book,
The View From Lazy Point.
In The View from Lazy Point, Carl Safina shows us that nature and human dignity require each other. It follows the arc of the seasons from Carl Safina's home waters of eastern Long Island to far horizons of the globe, from the Arctic to Antarctica and across the tropics. Safina shows how philosophy, religion, and economics-all developed before we knew the world was round-are so out of sync with scientific realities that they're essentially irrational and why our institutions fail to see these danger.
Carl Safina is a prominent ecologist and marine conservationist and president of Blue Ocean Institute, an environmental organization based in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. He is a winner of the prestigious Pew Fellowship, MacArthur Fellowship and Guggenheim Fellowships. Safina has also written five books including, Song for the Blue Ocean, Eye of the Albatross, Voyage of the Turtle, Nina Delmar, The View from Lazy Point, and A Sea in Flames. Safina's new TV series, Saving the Ocean, premieres on PBS starting April 2011.

New York Times Literary Treat of the Week....
Perry, Anne. Treason at Lisson Grove. Ballantine Books.
American Sherlock Holmes scholar Vincent Starrett in his now classic poem "221B" placed the year 1895 in "that age before the world went all awry." For husband and wife sleuths Thomas and Charlotte Pitt that age has already past. When an informant with details about a plot against the British government dies before Pitt can debrief him, the now intelligence officer tracks the anarchist killer to France. Meanwhile, Pitt's superior Victor Narraway has been framed for embezzling government funds and enlists the high-born Charlotte to help clear his name. Perry weaves in nicely the looming fact that Narrraway has an unspoken love for Mrs. Pitt even as she poses as his sister in 1895 Ireland.
Merrick Library also has the following Anne Perry novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt:
Buckingham Palace Gardens
Long Spoon Lane
Seven Dials
Southampton Road
The Whitechapel Conspiracy
Half Moon Street
Bedford Square
Brunswick Gardens
Ashworth Hall
Traitor's Gate

Former American Idol Judge KARA DIOGUARDI will speak about and sign her new memoir, A Helluva High Note.

New York Times Literary Treat of the Week...
Leon Donna. Drawing Conclusions. Atlantic Monthly Press.
Costanza Altavilla of Venice, Italy is dead. The medical examiner attributes the sixtyish widow's demise to heart failure. But when Commissario Guido Brunetti notices bruises that very likely contributed to the fatal attack he is suspicious of their origins. Brunetti's misgivings are confirmed as he learns Signora Altavilla not only volunteered at a local nursing home but apparently ran a safe house for abused women. Both enterprises, it turns out, ran afoul of the corruption that permeates the historic metropolis and has regularly been part of Brunetti's beat. This is Leon's twentieth depiction of that world in which justice is sought within a beautiful city that has a sordid underbelly.
Merrick Library also has these adventures of Guido Brunetti by Donna Leon:

New Non-Fiction Audiobook Arrivals!
The premier biographer of the British royal family presents the updated inside story of the romance that has made headlines the world over, just in time for the royal wedding. Nicholl paints a portrait of Kate by looking back at her family and childhood, her close friends and former boyfriends, and her ever-present devotion to the love of her life, Prince William.
Suze Orman, the woman millions of Americans have turned to for financial advice, delivers a master class on personal finance and teaches her readers that the "New American Dream" is not the things they accumulate, but the confidence that comes from knowing that which they've worked so hard for cannot be taken away from them.
From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon, comedian Tina Fey reveals all, and proves that you're no one until someone calls you bossy.
Geneen Roth is the author of several books about women and food, including When Food Is Love and Women Food and God. Here, Roth explores the fascinating relationship between money and food.

New York Times Literary Treat of the Week....
Doctorow, E.L. All the Time in the World: New and Selected Stories. Random House.
One wonders if an historical novelist lauded for nearly forty years can adapt his style to short fiction. Doctorow not only succeeds in this collection but provides reminders of his longer works. "Liner Notes: The Songs of Billy Bathgate" is a companion piece to the 1989 novel. The New Yorker magazine contribution "Heist" was later incorporated into City of God (2000). The Holocaust's survivor's powerful narrative in "Willi" can be compared to that in The Book of Daniel (1971). Doctorow also takes inspiration from Nathaniel Hawthorne by presenting "Wakefield" (also a Hawthorne story title) in which a lawyer for no given reason hides out from his family and civilization in a garage attic. Rounding out the set is "Assimilation," where a busboy is forced by his corrupt boss into a green-card marriage; and "Walter John Harmon," depicting a charismatic cult leader who supervises construction of a compound and then abandons everyone.

New York Times Literary Treat of the Week....
Lanctot, Neil. Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. Simon and Schuster.
The February 27 passing of Brooklyn Dodgers star Edwin "Duke" Snider comes as another of the "boys of summer" is given a thorough examiniation in print. Campanella dropped out of high school at age 15 to play Negro League baseball. His rifle arm and superb hitting might have qualified "Campy" to break the major league color line had not his half-Italian heredity made him lighter-skinned than Jackie Robinson. Arriving with the Dodgers one year after Robinson, Campanella would win three National League Most Valuable Player Awards and was an eight-time All-Star. Lanctot details the rift that developed between Robinson and Campanella as the former became more outspoken on race issues while the latter was at first reluctant to be a "boat rocker." The 1958 auto accident that ended Campy's career became part of his reconciliation with Robinson and helped in getting better treatment for quadripilegics.
For more about the Brooklyn Dodgers, Merrick Library has the following books:
Breslin, Jimmy. Branch Rickey.
D'Antonio, Michael. Forever Blue.
Murphy, Robert. After Many A Summer.
McGee, Bob. The Greatest Ballpark Ever.

According to Love To Know, Scorpio men do like to be pursued. Scorpios are picky, however, so Scorpio men only like to be pursued when they consider the women pursuing them to be worthy of their affections.
Scorpio men know who they are and what they want, and they have high standards. Because of this, Scorpios tend to be very particular about their mates. Frankly, most zodiac signs do not meet their criteria. Many women consider this trait to be off-putting, but Scorpios don't care.This is especially true of women who are air signs. They often consider Scorpios to be too self-centered and arrogant.

The Remita Corporate Championship Cup, popularly known as RC3, would commence on Saturday 12th August 2017 and feature winners and runners-up of various sector-based competitions across Nigeria's corporate clime covering banking, telecoms, insurance, and FMCG. The knock-out based tournament would hold at the Sports Pavilion of Yaba College of Technology for a period of three weeks.
This disclosure was made at a press conference held by the organisers of the tournament, MediaVision Limited and attended by the representative of participating teams, to announce the commencement of the 2017 edition of competition which is regarded as the most prestigious league of all corporate football competitions in Nigeria.
Now in its 3rd edition and sponsored since inception by SystemSpecs, Nigeria's leading financial technology firms and owners of Remita, the electronic payment platform, the 2017 edition of RC3 would feature eight top brands from corporate Nigeria: First Bank, UBA, VConnect, IHS, 9Mobile, Leadway Assurance, FrieslandCampina, and Nestle
Speaking on expectations from the competition, one-time goalie of the Super Eagles and tournament ambassador, Peter Rufai, noted that "With all that is on ground, the 2017 edition of RC3 would be more exciting than all others in the past."
"Nigerians across the length and breadth of this nation should expect nothing short of football at its best from all participating corporate teams," Dodo Mayana continued.
With admission to all matches open to everyone at no cost at all and anticipation almost at a crescendo, RC3 is expected to attract not only the footballers representing various organisations but also friends, families, staff, as well as supporters of various teams.
"SystemSpecs is pleased to be associated with this competition which encourages professionals in the corporate world to maintain the all-important balance between work and life," said John Obaro, Managing Director of SystemSpecs. This is particularly because, as an organisation, we know it is vital to the continued progress of our country," Obaro added.
"As always, this edition of RC3 would provide a competitive yet friendly platform for professionals, their families and brands across various sectors of the economy to bond," said Jimmy Sogbesan, Chief Operating Officer of MediaVision, organiser of the corporate soccer festival.
Remita Corporate Championship Cup showcases the best of football skills and passion by professionals in Nigeria, is regarded as the highpoint of Corporate Games in Nigeria, and would serve as an opportunity for Remita customers to better connect with the brand.

|Otherwise Alone by Shay Savage
Lieutenant Evan Arden sits in a shack in the middle of nowhere, waiting for orders that will send him back home - if he ever gets them. Other than his loyal Great Pyrenees, there's no one around to break up the monotony. The tedium is excruciating, but it is suddenly interrupted when a young woman stumbles up his path.
He has two choices - pick her off from a distance with his trusty sniper-rifle, or dare let her approach his cabin and enter his life.
Why not? It's been ages, and he is otherwise alone...
With only 56 pages, the blurb pretty much sums up the entire novella's. I'm a dog person, so naturally I love Odin right away. Whenever I read erotic novella or premise whereby two complete strangers having casual sex upon their first meeting and the author tried to play the instant connection card, it usually felt forced. I tried not to roll my eyes and just follow the flow. But Otherwise Alone managed to make me instantly connected to Evan and I like Lia as well. I'm not sure whether is because of the male's POV or Shay Savage, but I'm definitely intrigued and can't wait to read the rest of the story.

Carolina Panthers
Domestic violence presentation punctuated by Panthers owner Jerry Richardson's presence
Saturday evening, during their third day of training camp, Carolina Panthers players listened as league officials talked about the impact of domestic violence and sexual assault, with an emphasis on how bystanders can help those at risk.
Joining the team's 90 players during the 60-minute presentation at Wofford's Student Life Center was Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, who drove from Charlotte and sat in the back of the room for the program.
The Panthers were thrust into the middle of the league's domestic violence crisis last year when former defensive end Greg Hardy missed nearly the entire season after he was accused of assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend during an altercation at Hardy's uptown condo.
Days before Hardy went on the commissioner's exempt list last September, Richardson wept during an impassioned speech while being honored at a local awards ceremony.
If Panthers players needed a reminder where Richardson stood on the issue of violence toward women, his presence at the league's education session Saturday provided it.
"It definitely speaks to the importance of it," linebacker Thomas Davis said Monday. "When you have an owner show up for a meeting like that, I think it should open some of these guys' eyes for them to realize how important it is."
Offensive lineman Amini Silatolu said players took note of Richardson in the room.
"This is real," Silatolu recalled thinking. "He's not playing any games this year with that kind of nonsense. I think everybody got the feel for that, with him being there."
The Panthers decided last fall to cut ties with Hardy, who became a free agent after a 2014 season in which he played in only one game.
Hardy signed a one-year, incentive-laden deal with Dallas that could be worth as much as $13.1 million. His 10-game suspension was reduced to four games, and the NFL Players Association could pursue legal action to get Hardy on the field sooner.
The NFL for years has included a domestic violence and sexual assault program in its annual rookie symposium, but it stepped up its education efforts last year in the wake of the scandals involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Hardy.
The mandatory one-hour sessions began last fall. Teams are going through the second phase of the program, which also addresses DUI, during training camps.
Several veteran players said Richardson's stance on domestic violence issues was clear before the Hardy incident.
"We've heard Mr. Richardson speak on it before. So we understand his take and his views on it," Davis said. "It's like I was raised. Plain and simple, you don't do those kinds of things."
Center Ryan Kalil echoed Davis' comments.
"This is something he takes very seriously, and I've known that all nine years I've been here," Kalil said of Richardson. "It's the first thing you find out when you come here. It's one of the things that he does not tolerate at all."

No matter whether you're getting onto the property ladder for the first time or looking to refinance your home mortgage, being confident in the wider economy plays a role.
There has been plenty of discussion over whether Australia is in a housing bubble and if not, whether there could be one just around the corner.
The cash rate remains at its all-time low of 2.25 per cent, which is likely to have led to a greater provision of cheap home loans across the country.
Taking out a home loan and purchasing property is an investment in your future. After all, real estate is one of the biggest assets you can have, which can act as a launching pad for a whole host of different financial avenues.
Making a move into your local property market as a first time buyer can be a daunting, difficult task. After all, these are massive investments that take a huge amount of time and financial commitment.
Making the decision to refinance your mortgage can be a wise one, especially if you suspect the home loan you originally signed up for may no longer be best suited to your needs.
Creating an investment property portfolio for future generation of wealth and some financial security is quickly becoming a popular avenue Australians are considering.
You've probably heard plenty of discussion over the official cash rate over the past year or so.
It can be all too easy to get caught up in the rental cycle, but as the latest figures show costs are on the rise, taking those all-important first steps onto the property ladder could be a wise financial decision.

Hi guys, I know I have taken a break from posting! We bought a house, moved, and ran a marathon, and I have had zero free time. I'm back! I'll probably post slightly less frequently, I'm noticing my click rate (the rate in which people open the emails I send out) is only about 50%. I think you're telling me that you're busy, too!
Last month I ran my second marathon, and as part of my prep I read Deena Kastor's new book, "Let Your Mind Run, Thinking My Way to Victory." She focuses a lot on how a good attitude, positivity, and affirmative visualizations transformed her runs and made her faster and stronger. I ran my first marathon four years ago, and I can tell you that my attitude and mental state really affected that run. I felt negative, scared, and defeated with almost every step. This time around my mental state was a lot better, and I have felt a big difference on my runs. I run with my husband, who is always better, stronger, faster, and less injured than I am. I love running with him, but always feel bad he could be getting a better time in a race than he does. It can cause a weird negative mental state for me, because instead of focusing on how I'm doing, I am always aware of how I'm holding him back.
I'm a bit skeptical about positive thinking used as a tool. Sometimes this advice can come from people who are using it as an avoidance to see what is real, and sit with their pain. But I also am aware that I'm often in a negative state of thought because I don't want to jinx something, don't want to be too big for my britches, and want to always be aware of how I can improve instead of thinking of how great I am. Reading Deena's book made me start to question this, though.
This marathon, I went in with one goal – to maintain a positive mindset throughout the race. For me that means not feeling guilty and bad about myself when I have to go slow and hold my husband back. It's such a wormy feeling, and it will really affect my running. My mantra when things got really hard physically was, "this is what you came for." In every marathon, your body is screaming at you to stop towards Mile 20. I knew that would happen. But I wanted to enjoy that, too, even if that sounds weird. I wanted to enjoy how taxing that race is.
When people ask how the marathon was, I genuinely reply with, "it was great!". I could focus on how agonizingly slow I ran, I could focus on what hurt, but I would rather focus on how psyched I was to run this thing, and how proud I am of us that we did it.
Of course, I think of how much this relates to becoming an EFT therapist, which takes so much mental toughness. I do sometimes have the amazing sessions, where I feel on top of the world. But at least for me, I have far more sessions where I am slogging through the process, trying to shift mindsets and beliefs that have been locked in for years, or decades. Or couples where I feel like I can barely track the cycle at all, because their brains are in such a primal panic.
It's easy for me to get defeated. And once that defeat sets in, it brings fatigue, and it makes it hard to do great work. The hardest mental challenge for me in being an EFT therapist is that I cannot be better than I am right now. I can't be trainer-level amazing. I can't be Kathryn Rheem or Lorrie Brubacher. My clients are getting my best, but they are not getting the best. This is reality. So how do you keep going, knowing that every single day you are working your ass off to only be above average?
For me, I'm trying to apply the same mental process that I do with running. Every failure, every bad session, every time I confuse and bore clients with psycho-ed instead of staying in the process, every time I put my foot in my mouth or get triggered with a client, I am learning and getting stronger. I am doing this for a reason, to get better, to see what is possible for people's relationships to heal. It is a privilege to do this work, and to be learning this exceptional model. This is hard, but it will get better. This is what I came for.

Way back in 2008 I had gone on a vacation to Germany with friends and one of the places we visited was the black forest area. Black Forest is like the opening scene from the 'Sound of Music' where you will see lush green mountains rolling one after the other. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were sitting on the grass, just soaking it all in when I saw a family of 5 – A dad, mom, one boy and 2 little girls rolling down one of the hills on their bikes! It was one of the prettiest sights I had ever noticed. The pretty wooden picnic baskets, the 2 little pink bikes, the large hat the mom was wearing, the nice little race the dad and the kids were having was just perfect! I was so taken in with the concept of the whole family biking together that I secretly wished one day I was going to be doing this with my family. And I was much thrilled to say the least when I first learnt that V was big on biking (during our dating times). It was as if the pieces of the jigsaw were all coming together.
V and I used to bike a lot back in India and have done some crazy long distance trips on our mountain bikes. After coming to the US, I bought my road bike a little after the little one was born and thus rekindled our weekend bike
rides. But this time it wasnt the same. Although V and I would head out for an hour or 2 on a ride, all we would end up talking was about the little one. We would wish for her to grow up just a little bit so that we could get her along as well.
As soon as spring bloomed in California, V excitedly bought the baby trailer and for the super active toddler that she is, we prayed hard that she like the new trailer. V assembled the trailer as soon as it arrived and took the little one on a spin. And voila! She LOVED it!!! Not a squeak, or a frown. She just sat there and watched the landscape change.
She particularly enjoyed watching people walk their dogs, to which she would respond with a 'woof' 'woof'. V and I sighed in relief and planned our first long distance with the little one!
V's sister, T came up with a nice trail for us to explore and we packed some goodies for the trip and set out to enjoy the spring in its full bloom. The little one was more than excited to hop onto her trailer. V had prettied the place up with a bunch of toys to keep her company just in case she got bored. We gave her a break, and let her enjoy the grass at around half way into our ride. She even napped during the second half of the ride!
And so, we did our first long ride with the little one and covered a distance of 23 miles in 3.5 hours! 😀
This summer is going to be awesome, as I anticipate many more rides on the horizon!

Yet again this title was recommended to me and yet again I've completely forgotten who recommended it (I get a lot of emails from this website!).
So sorry about that if you're reading this – just contact me directly or leave a comment in the section below and I'll give you a shout out!
Anyway, let's get back to RWD…
The Plot
Hmmm this is a tough one! If I go over the plot in a typical way I'll sort of kill off the only real twist in the movie…
So it's back to stealing the plot line off IMDb (if they ever find out how often I've done this they'll have my head on a pole…).
Two men went searching for ghosts, but they found themselves instead…
Short and sweet but that's actually all they have up on IMDb – thanks to a member named Twenty Eighteen Seventy-Six.
Beavis & Butt-head
Okay I'm not going to beat around the bush here – this film had a pretty awesome plot behind it that SHOULD of worked out well in the Found Footage genre…
But it didn't…at all.
Why, oh why, oh why did the filmmakers decide to portray themselves as two of the biggest wankers ever seen on the big (or relatively small) screen?
For those of you too young to remember (god I feel old!), here is a picture of Adam Hartley and Matt Stuertz…
No, of course they don't look like that…but for some unknown reason their on-screen characters act like the famous masturbating freaks!
Their plot is actually unique, exciting, and at some points a joy to watch…
Their choice of character development is absolute sh#t!
I get the feeling that Hartley and Stuertz have been told at some point in their lives that they are funny…maybe by their parents?
Anyway – whoever told them this deserves to be shot!
I think that the REAL shame about RWD is that it knows it is full of holes…right from the start. On top of this – these holes would have easily been plugged up by some half-decent actors who knew how to carry a (strong) plot!
The movie's main strength lies in it's third act…but the first two acts are so painful…I really don't know how many watchers are going to end up at the third act!
This is a big shame as the climax has some truly astonishing scenes which were really well played out, even with a limited budget.
I think another downfall is that I really didn't give a f##k what happened to Hartley and Stuertz's characters.
When the real danger broke in I was all up for watching them get shot to shit…this is obviously NOT what they were aiming for!
It's really important to remember that this movie was filmed, written, edited, and shot by two people. Who also acted in it.
It's also important to remember that I can be a right git at times when it comes to reviewing films.
So, with that in mind, please give this film a go if you have the time…
This film had some EXCELLENT scenes in it (and I mean 'excellent' because I used capitals to write it!) but it was seriously let down by the egos of the two main characters…
…But they were probably doing their best with the tools god gave 'em! 🙂

The Whopperito Debuts at Burger King
Uncategorized December 1, 2016 admin
Over the past few years Burger King has been taking the fast food industry by storm as the popular chain introduces unique new foods to it's customers. The past fiscal year has been hard on most of the fast food industry. As the economy continues to flounder the average American is attempting to save money by buying cheap groceries and cooking at home. Chipotle, Wendy's and other chains have experienced profit loss and stock drops, but the Burger King Whopperito is helping to keep the King on top.
What is the Burger King Whopperito
The Whopperito is Burger King's brand new take on an old favorite, the burrito. Each Whopperito contains ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and queso wrapped in a tortilla. The meat used in the Burger King Whopperito combines the signature Burger King flame broiled flavor with the mild spice of a traditional burrito. The Whopperito can be purchased by itself or as part of a combo that is served with french fries and a beverage.
Will the Burger King Whopperito Flourish or Flop
There was a great deal of speculation by business analyst regarding whether or not the Burger King Whopperito would be a success. So far it appears as if the Whopperito is a hit with customers nationwide. Those who have eaten the unique burrito rave about the melted cheese sauce and enjoy the addition of pickles to the burrito. Along with the great taste customers are pleased with the Whopperito's low price of $2.99 by itself or $4.99 as a combo. Since the new item was introduced to the menu Burger King sales have increased and the stock prices for Burger King are also on the rise.

Cap and Trade Update (Updated)
American Conservative Union just emailed me and said they'd heard that Speaker Pelosi has postponed debate on HR 2454, the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. This is excellent news; it means she counted her votes and didn't think she had enough to pass.
Please, call your representative right now and urge him or her to vote "No" on HR 2454. We need to ratchet up the pressure to make sure this anchor does not sink the US economy into the ocean.
UPDATE: HR 2454 passed the House by a vote of 219 "yea" to 212 "no" at around 7:15 PM EDT. Eight Republicans voted in favor of the measure, while 44 Democrats voted against it. The bill will now move to the Senate, where plenty of pork will likely be added; there may be additional opportunities to stop this disastrous legislation in the Senate.
The eight Republicans who voted for the measure were Reps. Mary Bono Mack (CA), Mike Castle (DE), Steven Kirk (IL), John McHugh (NY), Leonard Lance (NJ), Frank LoBiondo (NJ), Dave Reichert (WA), and Chris Smith (NJ).

Thanks for the update. I am very concerned about this bill passing and that witch just keeps pushing right through like the wrecking ball she is.
I will continue making calls and asking friends to call as well.
United We Stand!
Comment by Jim
Keep an eye on this. I've heard reports that this rumor is only being floated to lull the oposition into slowing down/stoping their calls.
Comment by turfmann
Naturally, Phil, our Congressman supports this bill wholeheartedly.
I am just amazed at the level of detachment that elected officials have on what is actually going on in the economy.
I speak with contractors who have no work, have had no work and don't see any work in the near future. Shovel ready for them means that they are digging their own grave. I am very thankful that I have been busy, but that is due in no small part to my own decision to wield the axe upon my own business. Much belt tightening here.
There seems to be no understanding on the part of elected officials that the reason tax revenues are falling is because the economy is failing. Increasing taxes only further retards the economy. It is completely lost upon them that what they should be doing is slashing government spending drastically. And yes, that mean firing people – lots of people. Government is once again the problem.
Back when I had time to do such things, I played a very early version of SimCity on my Macintosh Classic. One of the troublesome parameters in getting the city to grow was to figure out what the optimal tax rate should be. It didn't take me long to figure out that the way for me (in the role of government) to maximize tax revenue was to deceive the populace into thinking that there tax rate was zero until the last possible moment. I then paused the game by hitting the space bar, reset the tax rate to something pornographic like 100%, took all their money, stopped the game again, reset the tax rate to zero, then went about building roads and fire stations.
Anyone else feel like a Sim in ObamaCity?
Phil, I wish that Jeff Perry would run for Congress. He might just find the stars aligning in his favor on election night 2010 if this nonsense keeps up.
Comment by Phil
(a) You were a lot more creative than I at cheating SimCity. I'm impressed, but remind me not to play poker with you.
(b) Being fairly new to the Cape, and living downcape a good 20 miles from you, I had to look up who Jeff Perry is. He sounds good, though. Hey, maybe *I* oughta run against Rep. Delahunt. I've always had a macabre taste for martyrdom…
(c) The vast majority of legislators are attorneys. Most of them know how laws are written, and how to write them so they'll be intelligible in court. Most of them know less about economics than they know about overhauling their lawnmowers — and I'm betting more than half of them don't even know to empty the gas tank on their lawnmower in the fall.
Comment by walkercolt
Well, it looks to me like they passed the boat anchor (noose is more appropriate, I think). I just read this at "The Hill's Briefing Room", the timestamp on the article is 7:17pm.
219 to 212; 44 dems voted against it, 9 RINO's voted for it.
Here's a link, I'm going to say a prayer for our newly deceased economic engine.
Comment by walkercolt
Sorry, 8 RINOs voted for it.
Comment by turfmann
Confirmed: Delahunt of Massachusetts, aye.
On this issue alone he should be defeated.

The Chinese sent an electronic surveillance ship to the edge of the region where U.S. and allied forces are conducting the Rim of the Pacific 2014 exercise -- the largest naval exercise in the world, according to a report by the U.S. Naval Institute.
The U.S. invited the Chinese to send four ships to take part in the massive naval exercise. However, it didn't invite the electronic surveillance ship that is located south of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. This is the area in which the USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group and more than 50 other ships are taking part in RIMPAC.
The invitation to the Chinese was seen a gesture of goodwill by the U.S. to the Chinese military even as the U.S. continues to execute its pivot to the Pacific. The transfer of additional U.S. forces to the Pacific is seen as strategic move to counter the gaining influence the Chinese have in the region.
Andrew Erickson, an associate professor at the Naval War College, told USNI that he suspected that the Chinese ship was the Type 815 Dongdiao-class intelligence collection vessel Beijixing. The ship is home ported in the East Sea Fleet, Erickson told USNI.
These auxiliary general intelligence (AGI) ships are built to gather electronic and communication data from surrounding aircraft and vessels.
"Beijixing is the most experienced vessel from the PLAN's most advanced class of AGI. Based on Internet photos and Japanese government and other media reports, Beijixing is China's most well-traveled AGI, having operated frequently near and within Japan's claimed Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)," Erickson told USNI.
The U.S. hosts RIMPAC every two years. It often includes about 23 different nations and more than 20,000 military personnel. About 50 ships and 200 aircraft typically take part in the exercise.
Spying on military exercises is certainly nothing new. Militaries will monitor each other's exercises to get a better sense of the capabilities each possess. You could bet a U-2 was flying nearby any Soviet Union exercises during the Cold War.
Of course, this is seen more as poor manners by the Chinese to be this transparent about it.

Q&A Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele?
My baby girl was born with spina bifida myelomeningocele and my ob/gyn told me that the doctor who read my 20 week sonogram should have caught this and told me about it so that I could have had it repaired before my baby was born. Now that she's born, her treatment options are much more limited. Did the ultrasound doctor commit medical malpractice?
A: Your ultrasound radiologist likely committed medical malpractice. Ultrasound today is quite effective in detecting spina bifida and assessing its severity. There are telltale signs that alert doctor to the possibility of spina bifida. When reading an ultrasound, radiologists should look for the "banana sign" and the "lemon sign" which are indicators of open neural tube defects. Click here to view some example pictures of spina bifida sonograms
If you received a blood test while pregnant, was your Alpha Fetoprotein level high? That is another sign that spina bifida should be investigated. There are several types of spina bifida. Spina bifida occulta is difficult to see on ultrasound. Meningocele and myelomeningocele are more pronounced and severe.
When these more severe types go undetected, the child can suffer further harm from vaginal birth. At the very least, c-sections should be performed on mothers carrying spina bifida fetuses. If the defect is caught in time, prenatal surgery can effectively treat the problem. The Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati is one center that provides this service. To learn more, read about the MOMS clinical trial or pick up these articles:

The South doesn't like Mitt Romney very much.
The South is Mitt Romney's best friend right now.
While Romney has shown a complete inability to win Southern states (a quirky race in Virginia aside), a succession of Southern states holding contests in the weeks ahead could actually play right into his hands by elevating Newt Gingrich back to the level of serious contender.
And if that happens, Rick Santorum's path to victory gets much tougher.
A look ahead shows how it might happen.
Gingrich has won both of the Deep South states that have voted so far — South Carolina and Georgia — and the remaining ones will all vote in the next three weeks.
The biggest contests next Tuesday are a pair of primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. The Louisiana primary follows 11 days later, on March 24.
These three primaries constitute about half of the major contests over the next month, so they will be focal points.
Does Gingrich win all of them? That remains to be seen.
What we know right now is that he has turned in very impressive victories in both Georgia and South Carolina, winning both by double digits. He also finished within six points of Santorum in Oklahoma — a kind of hybrid between a Southern state and a Midwestern one — which is a respectable showing given his lack of traction in recent weeks.
Overall, Gingrich won almost as many delegates (72) as Santorum did (84) on Super Tuesday. That's in large part because he did so well in his home state, but it also suggests his campaign is hardly dead.
And now, as the Post's Krissah Thompson reports, Gingrich is shifting resources out of Saturday's Kansas caucuses to focus on the Deep South contests.
This is why we're seeing the push from the Santorum campaign to try to get Gingrich out of the race; they know he has a good shot at winning just as many delegates as the former Pennsylvania senator over the course of the next couple weeks, in large part because of the South.
And the more Gingrich takes delegates that might otherwise have gone to Santorum, the tougher it will be for the conservative movement to rally around either of them, the bigger delegate lead Romney will build, and the more inevitable he will become.
Now, there is a case to be made that this isn't all good for Romney.
Illinois is about the only state that looks favorable to Romney over the next several weeks, and Santorum has a good shot at winning the Kansas and Missouri caucuses.
Also, the more Romney loses in the South, the more it looks like he's got serious problems with the conservative base. And given how many Southern states are upcoming, that message is likely to be driven home again and again.
Romney has now finished second in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Oklahoma, and the panhandle of Florida was the one part of that state where he performed poorly in his big victory.
Also, if Gingrich returns to prominence, it may just split up the delegates more and more and further harm Romney's chances of winning a majority before the GOP convention.
But the more immediate concern for Romney's team is making their candidate into the clear frontrunner, and the odds of an open convention, despite the fantasies of many a political junkie, are still pretty remote.
Even if Romney can't win in the South, having Gingrich win over Santorum would be a pretty nice consolation prize for his campaign going forward.

Release date: Jul 26, 2011
Based on a graphic novel by Italian comics creator Tiziano Sclavi (Which was collected and translated by Dark Horse Comics) Dylan Dog is best described as a supernatural PI story. I don't think the movie got much action in the theaters, but truthfully I think it will do well on DVD.
Brandon Routh stars as Dylan Dog PI and the movie opens with him dealing with the aftermath of a divorce related case. He has become the kind of scummy PI people joke about. We soon discover that he was once the go to guy for all things supernatural in New Orleans but after his girlfriend is killed he has taken to drinking and sworn off those kind of cases. A
local professor is killed and his daughter comes to him because something was stolen during the murder. The professor was an expert on things that go bump in the night and he had an item that could prove dangerous to werewolves and vampires and the like. If someone has this they could cause some real problems. Dylan has a side kick who is a little gung ho, he is also undead, most likely a zombie. Falling into his old haunts Dylan confronts his past and eventually once again embraces who he really is while solving the murder and robbery.
I was not a fan of Routh in the Superman Returns movie, however I enjoyed him on Chuck and I thought he did a great job here playing the hardbolied PI. I also really enjoyed Sam Huntington as his sidekick. The move moves quickly and has enough humor thrown in to keep it from getting to heavy and not so much that it becomes silly. The plot actually works really nicely and though there are times when things are
explained a bit too much, it is a prefect first movie if this does indeed become a franchise, which I would enjoy. I'd love to see Routh in this role again. A fun movie and worth picking up.

You need a masters degree for that? Library School Videos
Submitted by Blake on October 27, 2010 - 8:55am
Dave Lankes gave his students a choice to either do a path finder on trends in evaluating scholarly impact, or make a video loosely answering the question "You need a masters degree for that?" Seems that a large percentage of the class get that question when they tell a spouse/parent/co-worker/friend they are going to library school. So here are some of their responses in. [My favorite]
