The birth of a gypsy morph, a rare and dangerous creature that could be an invaluable weapon in his fight against the Void, brings John Ross and Nest Freemark together again. Twice before, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the lives of Ross and Nest have intersected. Together, they have prevailed.ВВBut now they will face an ancient evil beyond anything they have ever encountered, a demon of ruthless intelligence and feral cunning.ВВAs a firestorm of evil erupts, threatening to consume lives and shatter dreams, they have but a single chance to solve the mystery of the Gypsy morph--and their own profound connection.

November 2016 - Celebrity Infinity to Panama Canal, Central America
Very disappointed with entire cruise. Way to many seadays with nothing interesting to do. The travelers were an average age of 75-80 and I am in my late 60's !! No good music by pool or at dinner. Food was average at best in main dining and at the buffet. Trying to find something good to say, the cabin attendant was great!!

Are these tax loss stocks in the bargain bin?
December 30, 2015
As Canadian markets reopen for the first day since the end of tax loss selling season, our portfolio manager Steve Vannatta put together a couple of screens to see who the losers were in 2015 and particularly those stocks that were hurt in the month of December, as investors decided to lock in their tax losses for the year.
We excluded energy from each of our screens, as the carnage in that space would have dominated any tax loss list.
Some energy related names snuck onto our screens, including shipping companies and energy related companies.
Here's what we were looking for…
Screen #1:
- North American Equities
- Jan 1 2015 to Dec 1 2015 – Stocks Down 17% or more
- From December 1 to December 24th – Stocks down an additional 20% or more
- Minimum Market Cap – $100mm USD
- Companies with positive net earnings
Screen #2:
- North American Equities
- Down more than 20% from Dec 1 to Dec 24
- Market Cap Greater than $100 mm
- Companies with positive net earnings
There are a number of companies in these lists who have definitely been impacted by the decline in oil prices, however there are also a number of diverse businesses who may upon further inspection, provide some opportunities for investors.
PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. THESE ARE NOT STOCK RECOMMENTATIONS. These are simply list showing the price decline of stocks over the defined periods above.
Steve Vannatta is lead Portfolio Manager of the Redwood Floating Rate Preferred Fund and the Redwood Diversified Equity Fund.

ENGLISH academic Adriana Ford-Thompson has given new meaning to the adage 'love is blind', standing by her husband as he was given a life sentence for the rape or sexual assault of four young women.
Judge Michael Taylor described 37-year-old Mark Thompson as "any woman's worst nightmare" and "one of the most dangerous offenders I have ever had to deal with in my entire judicial career", the Daily Mail reported.
But Ford-Thompson said he was "a sensitive, kind, soft, gentle man" and "not the man they are making him out to be".
She mouthed the words "I love you" and "stay strong" as he was led away to serve a minimum 11-year sentence.
Earlier, Teesside Crown Court heard Thompson told one of his victims that he did not get sex from his wife, so he had to "get it elsewhere".
The 21-year-old victim was walking home from her job at a nightclub when she was jumped on by Thompson, who dragged her into his van and proceeded to rape her three times. He also threatened to kill her if she went to authorities.
She eventually escaped by jumping from the van as it was pulled up at a red light.
Police investigating the case discovered Thompson had also been questioned in relation to a sex assault in 2009, although the case never went to court.
Two other women came forward after newspaper reports of the rape of the 21-year-old with similar stories.
One of the two women had been a friend of Thompson's, and alleged that he had tried to rape her just hours before his attack on the 21-year-old girl.
The second of the two women said Thompson was foiled in his attempt to rape her by a stuck zipper on his onesie. She was able to get away and raise the alarm.
In his sentencing remarks, Judge Taylor said Thompson had shown no remorse for his crimes.
"You will not take no for an answer, you will pursue women even into their own homes. In my view you pose a significant risk to women for many, many years into the future," the Mail quoted him as saying.

I bought this product for my daughter as an Easter present, I tried a number of times to order the Caterpillars on a number of occasions and 7 weeks later we finally received a container of caterpillars but there was a problem, the container contained 3 dead caterpillars and one butterfly that was almost dead. I sent an email along with photos of the contents of the container and receive an email from the owner stating that the first shipment was in transit too long and a new shipment was on the way. We did receive the second shipment but all the caterpillars were already in the chrysalises stage and it is not looking good on them surviving. I sent another email stating that I wanted a refund but I have not received a response so I have put in a complaint with the BBB. I would not recommend ordering any of the kits from this company.

Tiger Airways announced (01-Jun-2010) it has advanced the delivery of a further two new A320 aircraft from the next financial year to the current financial year ending 31-Mar-2011. The total number of aircraft being delivered this financial year will now increase to nine, resulting in an increase in the total fleet of at least 37% by Mar-2011. The airline expects to return two existing aircraft when their leases expire in 4Q2010/11. [more]
Tiger Airways: "As additional delivery positions have become available, presumably as other airlines have postponed some of their aircraft deliveries, we have seized the opportunity to advance delivery of two new aircraft into our fleet. With a newer, younger fleet, we will realise greater operational and cost efficiencies, further reducing our operating costs and enabling us to continue offering the lowest fares possible," Tony Davis, President and CEO.

It is hot in July and August, no surprise about that at all, but this summer seems to be redefining hot. It has been day after of that melting hot, find an air conditioned room and do not leave it no matter what type heat that really makes the motivation melt away as fast as the sweat beads up on you. The only high point of this type of weather is after a few weeks of it even the fashion police are too overwhelmed to bother interrupting your evening walk around town with glares and sideways glances. Some have chosen to take advantage of this social allowance to explore ways to be cool in the heat during leisure time and set all new rules for acceptable social wear.
Shirts and Tops
As the temperature goes up, so does the distance from a beach where halter tops and loose fitting oversized t-shirt style cover-ups and wraps becomes acceptable for casual wear. While in late May and June wearing a halter top once you step off the sand is taboo by Mid- august it is perfectly acceptable at a café table on the sidewalk in town. Of course if you are going to sit inside, you should still pull on a drop shoulder t-shirt or simple wrap cover-up. Light colors that are more forgiving in the sun are the first choice in afternoons but in even once the sun is not as intense a little brighter and bolder color choice is reasonable.
Loose fitting tops are best for both modesty and comfort. The allow air to move and help avoid the unsightly dark spots from sweating the heat if you were walking or doing any activity. It also allows a plausible denial of "showing off" and simply says you a dressing for the weather.
Shorts and Pants
Obviously shorts and capris are the first choice. Do not be fooled that because a halter top may be allowed to pass unnoticed on a hot afternoon on the street that bathing suit bottoms would be similarly overlooked. Comfortable and loose fitting shorts are not only more comfortable but are more stylish and avoid the disapproving glances. Form fitting, too tight, and too short still screams "looks at me – I am trying too hard". Natural cotton is far preferable to spandex and polyester every month regardless of temperature.
May says sneakers and sandals acceptable even out in town. By the August heat anything with a heel and extra effort is simply overdoing it for all but late night club wear. A shift from even the restraint and straps of sandals will disappear as summer progresses until simple flip flops are perfectly acceptable. For both style and walking comfort going with molded and padded Havaianas like the styles from Skatehut meet both fashion and comfort criteria.

Low Financial Returns Undermine the Life Insurance Business
With a modest increase of premium revenues by 1.1 percent in 2011, growth of Austria's private insurance companies remained below that of nominal GDP (+5 percent). Performance within the sector was uneven: while premium revenues in non-life and accident insurance rose by a hefty 7.2 percent, they fell by a surprisingly strong 7.3 percent in the life insurance branch. Fragile conditions on money and capital markets led to a squeeze in insurers' financial earnings in 2011 and to the rate of return on invested insurance capital converging towards the benchmark yield on federal government bonds.

5 Best American soccer players in the world
Soccer is played all around the world and there are many great players, but today I want to present you the 5 best American players who are also very recognized around the world. They play in different leagues around the world and have big role in teams where are they playing. Some of them also call them leaders. However, picking up the top 5 is not so easy, because there are many great American players. You will find how I decided who are the top 5 and the list of top 5. Than you could also take a look who is my best American player and in the end I will discuss and say something what I think about American soccer.
How I choose?
I have to say again that picking top 5 players in America is not easy and there may be different list to every other person. Some would remove a player and add another American player, but I have made this list by what have the players achieved so far, where have they played, how they played and in the and how they perform in the national team.
List of top 5
My best is?
My best American player from the list above also one of the best players in the world is Landon Donovan. I really admire him how he plays. He has a great and successful career he has played for many great club, such as Bayern Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Everton and now he plays for LA Galaxy which is also a great club. Landon has also great experience with his national team he has been playing for it since he was 17. He was playing for United States national team U17, U20, U23 and for the first national team. A great player with good skills and a rich history.
American players compared with others around the world.
I think that in America soccer has developed and is developing more and more. American players are improving and are becoming one of the most important countries of this beautiful sport in the world. However, I think that they can improve a lot and the leading continent is still Europe where are the top Countries and leagues followed by people all around the world.

Old School Playa's - Tricky D. And Henry K Had The Skillz To Play The Game... Bush and Company Have No Game
He said If
You're gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.
You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.
Now every gambler knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner.
And every hand's a loser
The Gambler, Kenny Rogers, copyright 1978.
Instead of Bill Kristol, the relative youngsters in charge of foreign policy need to heed that great American philospher Kenny Rogers, who on a train ride learned a life lesson in playing the game from the wizened and cynical gambler. Our foreign policy could surely do better than the knee-jerk unilateralism, tough absolutist talk, us vs them pigeonholing of just about everyone, a Carteresque single-minded insistence on regime change, and a Wilsonian faith in forcing Democracy. This muddle ends up creating the kind of Bush silliness that caused the mess in Iraq, and which is hindering the whole Middle East policy.
Don't Hate The Playa Hate The Game
Kissinger and Nixon looked at the world from the perspective of power politics. They saw it all as part of a big game, where everyone -big and small- had major and minor interests. The smart ones figured out what everyone more or less wanted, and playing cards right would play others against each other. They saw bluffing as a fact of life, but knew you kept a loaded gun on the table, and shot when it was necessary. But, by acknowledging these realities, they knew that they could create situations where people killed each other less, and which advanced the U.S. national interest.
Metternich Would Have Loved This!
In the middle of the Cold War, Kissinger was negotiating with the North Vietnamese to find a war out of the Vietnam quagmire, at the same time the Nixon administration was working on detente with the Soviets, as well as a strategic opening to China. Each communist power was kept on edge whenever Kissinger was talking to the other one. The Vietnamese in the middle of a fight with the U.S. were totally nervous about losing the support of their two main superpower backers. When Nixon went to China in early 1972, it so unnerved the North Vietnamese that they launched a large conventional attack on South Vietnam, which was smashed by a major U.S. bombing campaign. But the Soviets worried about a possible US-China alliance and SALT talks, did not cancel Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union right after. In December, when the North Vietnamese were being stubborn in negotiations, the U.S. bombed Hanoi into cutting a deal almost immediately. Had congress not unilaterally abandoned U.S. military commitments to South Vietnam as set out in the deal, the US-supported Southern regime might have avoided defeat at Communist hands. But all-in-all, Kissinger/Nixon kept the Soviets in line for several years, while opening a line to China, which counter-balanced Soviet aims for the next two decades.
Lesson 1, Crisis As Opportunity
Taking advantage of the Cold War and the Vietnam War, Kissinger/Nixon used creative diplomacy, which included the threat of force to force new realities on the larger stage which favored U.S. interests The current Middle-Eastern crisis has the opportunity to push through this kind of re-alignment. You need to resolve immediate problems, at the same time you set long-term goals, dealing with the overall picture. Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy between Israel, Cairo, Damascus, and Moscow, stopped the 73 war, leaving the Israeli's thinking they had won, the Egyptians that they had restored their honor, and de-escalated a US-USSR confrontation. Long term it ended up pushing Egypt into the U.S. camp, secured Israel's gains, lessened Moscow's influence in the region, and contributed enormously to what became the Camp David Accords. In this crisis we need to secure a cease in the hostilities, while advancing long term goals including securing Israel's borders, securing Lebanon's future as a democracy, moving towards a Palestinian State, reducing Iran's role, neutralyzing Syria, and enhancing chances for peace in Iraq.
Lesson 2, The Mad Bomber, Carry a Big Stick and Speak Loudly...and Softly
If you have a reputation for using force unilaterally when your bottom line interests are threatened, that is not a bad reputation to have. When everyone in the region, thinks you back Israel's use of force, then damn well use that threat with everyone. Tell the Syrians, that Israel wants to bomb Damascus if Hizbullah keeps on getting supplied. Inform the Iranians that the Israeli's have free reign to bomb their nuclear weapons facilities, scare them into thinking you will do it yourself if need be. There is enough U.S. firepower in the region to make life miserable for the Mullahs.
Hamas and Fatah, already think that Israel has carte blanche in dealing with them, don't disabuse them of that notion. To Lebanon and Hizbullah, tell them that after a cease-fire, you can not and will not restrain Israel next time there is a kidnapping or even one Katyusha falls in Israeli soil. Play the whole "regime change" thing as a weapon. Tell Assad you will try to subvert his regime by supporting anti-Baath political and military forces. Ditto to the Iranians. Play up the boycott/sanctions talk. Make the Israeli's understand that this whole situation in the territories and Lebanon requires concessions on their part. Scare them a bit, tell them that all this negative press on their actions, harms U.S. interests in the region, and indicate that a re-thinking of U.S. policy might be in the cards.
Lesson 3: Talk To Everyone
You talk not only to Israel and Lebanon, you deal with the Syrians you talk to Iranians you talk to Hizbullah, you talk to the Palestinians. If you don't do it overtly, you do it behind the scenes, but always carry the credibility that you can make changes stick. Israel wants secure borders and no rockets pointed at it. The entire Arab and Islamic World wants a Palestinian state.
You get the Syrians to stop backing Hizbullah and/or rein them in. Offer them the carrot of making them players in the solution, and opening up their economy to aid. Get them to help with Hizbullah and the nasty insurgents in Iraq. Get them away from the Iranians, make the Iranians nervous.
Talk to the Iranians, do it openly if you have to. Just talking can make Syria and Hizbullah nervous as hell. Try to get a working modus-vivendi where they give up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for a greater opening to the West. Stay engaged, say you will tolerate a certain Iranian influence in Iraq, provided they reign in the Syrians. The greater issue is you want both Iran and Syria to lay off Israel, offer them incentives to do so. Go to Lebanon and tell the Hizbullahs, that you will recognize both the authority of the Lebanese government and Hizbullah as a legitimate political force in Lebanon, if Hizbullah disarms -- or at the very least destroys their missle umbrella pointed at Israel and built-up fortifications in South Lebanon. Try to play Nasrallah against the Iranian's, he might even be usefull to solve things with Iraq's Shiites. Tell the Israeli's that they have to withdraw from the West Bank, with the understanding that this will not happen while the Syria and Iran continue to help Hizbullah or Hamas in their quests to destroy Israel.
In the end............. regimes like Syria and Iran, terrorists like Hamas and Hizbullah are nasty. But, unless the U.S. and its few allies, really have the will and strength to confront them directly, you have to use the cards you have right now. Refusing to deal face-to-face with the nasties, because of some Neo-con principle is silly at this point. A realistic and creative carrot and stick approach, with all the bluffing and poker faces involved, that divides and confuse these nasty players, can put the U.S. in the best long-term position. As Kenny Rogers said you have to know when to "hold", "fold" and "walk away", Nixon and Kissinger would surely approve.

Israel, Lebanon: US Foreign Policy: WHERE HAVE YOU GONE RICHARD NIXON?
3 comments:
" Crisis As Opportunity"
in relation to China. The Chinese do not a word for crisis, their symbol for crisis is "when danger meets opportunity"
- Boli-Nica said...
IIRC Kissinger used to quote that saying. Unfortunately the Bush administration thinks Crisis means, "disaster we can mess up worse"

I'm given to understand that Kasper has been involved in quite a few things in his first year as a freelance actor. The list he gave was fairly impressive. He may even be in for some "easy money" soon, but that will require some forethought. As a bonus, I'm pretty sure he's the first internet person to commission my sewing type skills, which is yay.

It was the morning of New Year's Eve 2010, a few hours before my brother Ryan was going to propose to his girlfriend Melissa. My parents and I had been assigned the task of keeping Melissa occupied so he could run madly about Amsterdam getting everything put together.
So we ate a scrumptiously hearty breakfast, Dad pretended he couldn't wait to see another museum, and we bundled up and trooped out to explore the Zaanse Schans windmills.
It was wickedly cold but we didn't mind because we actually got to see canals frozen right over!! It was like we'd stepped into a scene out of Hans Brinker.
The first windmill was built along the Zaan River in 1597. Over the next several hundred years over a thousand more would grace its banks. During the 19th century 400 were in operation at one time. Nowadays windmills have given way to more modern operating methods, but they still form an important role in the history and tourism of the Netherlands.
The Zanse Schans is a marvelous place for a day trip. Much like an open-air museum, it features 8 working windmills used to grind mustard seeds, saw wood, and press oil out of seeds. They've been moved here from different parts of the country and can be toured for minimal cost.
Other beautiful old buildings have been brought in to form a quaint village full of winsome cottages, arched bridges and tidy gardens. If it weren't for all the people trooping by, I'd love to live in one of these!!
You can tour museums that teach about Dutch clock-making, baking, arts and crafts, and what it was like to shop for groceries hundreds of years ago. There are also numerous charming shops where you can taste Dutch chocolate and cheese or sip a piping hot cup of cocoa. My Dad happily frequented these spots.
Are you a fan of open air museums? What is your favorite one to visit?
Helpful Information:
- The Zaanse Schans is open daily throughout the year from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- There is no entrance fee, however some of the attractions charge an admission fee.
- During the winter months some of the attractions are only opened in the weekends.

» Powerful Calculator Tool Collection for android
Review & Guide App
(Click to Ratings)
views: 210 publish: October 07, 2016
Calculator collection control, the new calculator will usually try, the following is the individual needs to filter out the function of the color value of the calculator tool is not bad.
Very good. Always right answers. No ads, clean interface. The most annoying thing is that it doesn't have "Ans" button for using the answer in new equation. Also no graphics and matrix. But still the best.
RealCalc Scientific Calculator
A seriously customizable, easy to use and understand, free calculator. What is not to love? This calculator gives one the ability to use the harder functions without becoming too complex for simple users. Great app!
Calculator ++
Takes a little getting used to but this is the best free calculator I've used so far. Used this in my Calc I, II, III, and Differential Equations classes. I've tried the TI-83 emulator, which works good, but it's a little cumbersome having to flip through all the screens without having a fully functional touchscreen layout. Big plus to this calculator is it almost completely eliminated that. Only downside I've noticed is that it uses a little more battery than I'd like.
Scientific Calculator
The best on the Android market. Its recent update is so impressive and lots of utilities for various options demanding quick answers.
AutoMath Photo Calculator
This app is the best app for helping you with math. I have recommended it to all of my friends. I have never been good at math and at times I am never given a very in depth description of how a problem works. This app has helped me excel now that the problems are worked out for so when I run into a similar math equations I know how to solve them. Hope this was helpful for you.
Calc Powerful calculator
Calc+ is the special calculation app. It is the smartest and the most powerful until now. Besides, the interface was designed user-friendly with flat style, and more beautiful themes.
MathsApp Scientific Calculator
Excellent calculator I've tried several calculator apps and this is by far the best and it is free with no ads. Also, it has a list of common physical constants stored in memory and you can add more if you wish.
The above is a collection of a collection of calculator tools, if there are any suggestions, please tell us in the comments.

As I noted previously, this year the Oakland House, in Brooksville, has embarked on a relationship with Richard Hansen, of Cleonice, in Ellsworth, to operate its Rusticator Restaurant. The slogan is from the place and of the time, and while that sounds vague, it springs to life on the menu, which features familiar foods from local sources in contemporary renditions.
We dined there Saturday and Sunday nights, and it's obviously a win-win situation. Guests at The Oakland House cottages have dinner included; guests at the Shore Oaks Inn can opt for a dinner plan. If you're not staying here, don't despair. The Rusticator is open to the public, too. And judging from the crowd in the dining room, the public is discovering it.
First the setting: The dining rooms are located in The Homestead, a building that dates from 1865. Separate dining rooms are allocated to young families, letting those without young ones dine in a quieter space. That dining room overlooks the inn's gardens, and during dinner, a sprinkler on the roof provides background water music. It's really quite delightful.
Guests arriving early for the 7:30 p.m. seating relax on the screened-in porch, enjoying drinks and complementary hors d'oeuvres, before being shown to their tables. Appetizers include the restaurant's signature Maine Coast in a Box ($11), a sampling of tiny lobster and fried clam rolls. On Saturday, I had the house-cured duck prosciutto and lamb braciola with dried figs ($9), served with crackers; absolutely delicious, and the four-bite size was enough for a taste. My husband had the Blue Hill Bay Mussels, served a white wine with tarragon and Raye's Stone Mustard; again, nice blend of flavors. my dad had the poached Overlook Farm free-range egg with Four Season Farm spinach, smokey bacon and cider-sage vinaigrette ($7); he loved it.
Next came a basket of foccacia and bread sticks, along with a salad of baby lettuces that for my tastes were slightly under dressed.
Entree choices ($22 to $33) included fresh-picked lobster succotash, roasted dayboat bluefish filet (with Nervous Nellie's Hot & Sweet Pepper glaze), The Farro of Egypt, Maine (a risotto made with farro from Webb's Farm and Ann Bossi's chevre along with local seasonal vegetables and herbs; available vegan). We each chose the roasted hook and line caught halibut, served with Castine Clipper Ship chutney, Maine shrimp kedgeree and grilled zucchini. The halibut was perhaps the best I've tasted; a large thick portion that was cooked perfectly throughout, nice and moist without losing the toothsome texture of this fish.
Choosing a dessert was tricky. Possibilities included choclate eclairs, raspberry-blackberry buckle, fig bread pudding, stawberry shortcake, lavender Overlook Farm custardand a lemon mousse in a cookie cup with blueberry sauce. We were all quite full, but I choose the lavender custard. Oh. My! It's to die for–thick, rich, creamy; so good that I ordered it again the next night.
Sunday night, I began with Rebekah's crab fancy, kind of a crab fondue served with homemade crackers. This would be easy to split with someone, as it's very rich. Tom ordered the Napoleon of roasted Four Season Farm gold and red beets and sweet onions, with walnuts and Great Hill blue cheese; it was a work of art in presentation (and flavor).
For the entree, I chose the grilled sirloin lamb chops, paired with kitchen garden mint, tomato and cucumber relish fingerling potatoes, and grilled Artesian Farm zucchini and squash. Tom had the pan-seared sashimi grade yellowfin tuna, served with a blue cheese Indian pudding and grilled fennel. Again, it was all delicious, and the portions were quite generous.
The Rusticator offers two seatings, one at 5:15, the other at 7:30. Another option is The Coop, a back-of-the-house shared table.

Another great Saturday night of racing excitement is in the books at 411 Motor Speedway! Congratulations to all the feature winners! Eric Tipton dominated in the Late Model division, while Robert Martin became the first to go back-to-back this season! Shawn Henry made it look easy in Mini-Stock, while Cody Courtney actually lapped the field in Mini-Late Models! Don't forget fans, we'll switch to our summer schedule (later start time) THIS Saturday! Have an awesome week, and we'll see you Saturday! The stories are inside, so be sure to click the title!
In Mod-Mini, we saw Nick Perry start on the outside of the front row, but quickly took over the race lead heading out of turn number 2. However, Perry would have all he could handle until a long green flag run allowed him to pull away slightly. But a late-race caution bunched the field back up, but still, nobody had anything for Perry, as he claimed the win. Crossing in 2nd was polesitter Rocky McNabb, followed by Cindy Poore.
Feature Results:

5. #16-Brian Klinger
DNS. #19-Brad Pressley; #12-Dustin Stephens; #13-Chris Kelley; #95-Taylor Dennis
Topless Modified
Next up was the Topless Modified division. Last weeks spinner and winner, Layne Clifton, would start on the pole, but Mike Lewis made quick work Clifton, dispatching of him quickly off turn 2. Meanwhile, Keith Gregory, who is sporting an April is National Autism Awareness Month ribbon on the nose of his car in honor of his daughter, Kristyn, would quickly work from his 5th place starting spot, moving all the way up to 3rd and about to start working on Clifton for 2nd, when he'd slow and pull off the speedway a lap later. But over the remaining 15 or so laps, Clifton would stalk the rear bumper of Mike Lewis, but all he could do was take a peek or two on the closing laps, watching Mike Lewis take the checkers. Clifton came home in 2nd, while Marvin Romines finished up in the 3rd spot.
Feature Results:
1. #15-Mike Lewis

9. #44-Keith Gregory
Street Stock
In the Street Stock division, we saw Bradly Lewelling thoroughly dominate the competition, leading wire-to-wire in this one. But, the action was intense in the back, as Travis Reno, starting from the last starting spot, was slicing and dicing his way, moving all the way from 9th to around the 4th or 5th spot, before he would pull into the pit area. Phil Davis had an issue of some sort in the heat race, but returned in the feature. He would have his machine laying over hard on the right-front tire, but that only seemed to help, as he drove from the 8th spot, all the way up to finish 3rd. Lewelling with the win, Dale Watson takes 2nd, and 3rd goes to Davis.
Feature Results:
1. #10M-Bradly Lewelling
2. #11-Dale Watson

DNS. #4-R.J. Delfino
The Classics only had 4 cars that showed up, but those 4 cars put on a great show. Things got started quickly as Adam Engel would battle tooth-and-nail for the lead, but eventually lost it in turn 4 on the first lap to Marvin Ray. He would stalk the rear bumper of Ray most of the feature, while being stalked by Bart Baxter. Baxter would eventually get around Engel for 2nd on around lap 11, and lap 13 he would take the lead and never look back. Baxter claims the win, Ray gets 2nd, and 3rd goes to Engel.
Feature Results:
1. #7-Bart Baxter
2. #98-Marvin Ray
3. #28-Adam Engel
4. #12-Phil Blackford
Super Truck
For the Super Trucks, Freddy Hillard would start on the pole, and quickly take the race lead, while Robert Martin would stay glued to his rear bumper. Behind Robert Martin, Robbie Comer would quickly move from his 6th place starting spot to battle for the 2nd spot. Meanwhile, Cory Cate would begin to put the pressure on Comer, before spinning in turn 1 and 2. He would bring out the Ujunkdit Caution and work his way back up through the field. On lap 11, Rocky Ogle would bring out the Ujunkdit Caution as he grenaded an engine in 1 and 2, dropping oil. A few minutes later, the field went green once again and Freddy Hillard would still be your leader, with Robert Martin stalking him. On lap 15, Freddy Hillard would drive into turn 1 and cut the wheels hard left, while his truck kept going toward the wall. As he slowed his truck slightly to get it turned, this gave Robert Martin the golden opportunity to steal the lead away. Freddy Hillard would try to re-claim the lead, but a few short laps later would have the same handling issue, where he gave up 2nd to Robbie Comer. Robert Martin goes on to win, Robbie Comer remains winless in 2011, which is uncharacteristic, but he claimed 2nd spot, and Freddy Hillard was forced to settle for 3rd.
Feature Results:
1. #14-Robert Martin
2. #42-Robbie Comer
3. #74-Freddy Hillard
4. #92-Cory Cate
5. #2-Steve Hillard

7. #1-Bobby Martin
8. #9-Rocky Ogle
Late Model
The Late Model division got started off with Rusty Ballenger setting fast time with a lap of 14.894 around 411 Motor Speedway. He spun a 2 on the wheel, which inverted the top 2 for the Hoosier Dash. Ballenger would fade to 3rd in the Hoosier Dash, as Eric Tipton would win it. Feature time rolled around, and Tipton would start on the pole and make quick work of Ryan King. Ryan King through would stay glued to the rear spoiler of Tipton for a little while. Josh Collins would work his way forward to make it a 3-way battle for the lead. Ryan King made several advances inside for the lead, but would wind up only losing traction, finally handing over the 2nd spot to Collins about halfway in the feature. Meanwhile as we looked through the field, Anthony White, Josh Henry, and Rusty Ballenger fought tooth-and-nail for the 4th spot, but when the dust settled, White would come home ahead of Ballenger and Henry, respectively. Over the remaining 10 or so laps, Collins made several attempts to take the race lead, but just didn't have the traction off the corners to complete the pass. Eric Tipton picks up his first win of 2011, while Collins came home in 2nd, and Ryan King settled for 3rd.

Saul needs to be replaced as king, so the prophet Samuel sets out, at God's request, to find a new one. He is told to choose from one of Jesse's sons, and soon realizes that God sees others in a way we often don't.
God looks beyond physical appearance and weakness, and sees who we really are. He saw the potential in the youngest of Jesse's sons, and we can be assured that He sees our potential too. God looks past our inadequacies and into our hearts. Do we see others with the same perspective?

(Clarifies number of job cuts in paragraph five to 40 percent of 2,000, not 2,000 job cuts)
* Q2 headline loss per share $0.35 vs yr-ago profit
* Books impairment of $2.4 billion after gold price drop
* Shares hit 12-year low
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 7 (Reuters) - AngloGold Ashanti promised to cut more costs after it swung to a second-quarter loss, dragged lower by a plunging gold price that has forced it to reduce staff and scrap its quarterly dividend.
Shares in the world's third-largest bullion producer by output were down almost 6 percent by midday on Wednesday after touching a more than 12-year low.
Gold prices have fallen by almost a quarter since January, the sharpest drop in a generation that has forced large miners from Barrick Gold to Newmont to write down the value of their assets.
AngloGold, whose operations stretch from South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo to Australia, had warned it would be forced to follow suit and on Wednesday took a $2.4 billion hit.
Africa's largest gold producer also followed peers across the mining industry with promises of more cost cuts, including plans to shed 40 percent of its 2,000 management jobs globally.
Randgold Resources said on Wednesday it would cut costs and raise production over the rest of the year to counter plunging bullion prices which triggered a 62-percent slump in the African gold mining group's second-quarter profit.
"We've taken the decision to prepare our business for a volatile gold price environment," AngloGold Chief Executive Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan said.
Venkatakrishnan, a company veteran and former chief financial officer known as Venkat, was appointed to the top job in May, after his boss Mark Cutifani left to run diversified miner Anglo American.
Venkat aims to more than halve 2014 corporate costs, helped by the job cut plans. Spending on exploration for 2013 has also been more than halved.
Total cash costs - a measure closely watched in an industry that has seen costs soar over the past decade and remain stubbornly high - came in at $898 an ounce in the second quarter, in line with its target and just below the previous three months.
But Venkatakrishnan acknowledged that "all-in" costs - which would include $1 billion of capital primarily for its Tropicana and Kibali mines - would be "well above spot" prices, currently around $1,280 an ounce.
"If you look at a lot of the miners right now, a lot of their costs are almost close to the current gold price so a lot of producers are still going to struggle in this environment, especially with the very high cost structures that they have in place, said Paul Chakaduka, a trader at Global Trader in Johannesburg.
Like many South African miners, AngloGold has also been weighed down by rising costs and labour disputes at home.
The miner said it would cut marginal projects in South Africa, which accounts for around 40 percent of its global output.
"We're phasing some of our expenditure on projects in South Africa and have reduced this year's total capital budget by about $150 million, to $1.95 billion," said Venkatakrishnan.
The group said it was "difficult" to contemplate wage increases, as the South African industry hammers out pay deals with unions.
Negotiations are progressing under the auspices of a mediator after unions last month declared an official wage dispute.
The miner posted an adjusted headline loss of $0.35 in the April to June period compared with earnings of $0.29 in the previous three months and $0.70 a year earlier.
Production rose 4 percent to 935,000 ounces in the quarter. The company reduced its 2013 target to between 4 and 4.1 million ounces after revising its mine plans. It previously forecast a range of 4.1 million ounces to 4.4 million ounces.

I'm exhausted, tired and dirty.
My feet ache.
My ego is bruised.
I feel alive...
I'm scared, ashamed and lost.
My hands ache.
My 'being' is numb.
I feel strong...
I'm weird, foreign and strange.
I find myself blinded by the glare of reality;
too much time spent amidst a dark self indulgence,
narcissistic contemplation.
Too much bullshit...
The sweat drop in my eye tames the violence of the light.
The sweat drenched shirt drops my ego to its knees.
My humbled ego gains a new perspective.
The phenomenon is refreshed.

Xavier Buck, chief executive at EuroDNS, explained that, during the general registration process, the registry awards the .asia domain name to the first person who submits the domain.
"In contrast to the previous Sunrise and Landrush phases, there will not be any auctions this time. Our new AsiaDNS/EuroDNS website platform is ready to receive all applications," he said.
"With over 10 million domains registered in China alone, and over 150 million worldwide, the potential for .asia is only now starting to be realised."
Edmon Chung, chief executive at domain authority DotAsia, added: "There are millions of great .asia domains still available on a first-come first-served basis."

You can put up a car, jewelry or other properties that you might own.
- If you have no money or collateral then you'll need to have good credit and possibly a co-signer. Usually you will need two co-signers if you don not have good credit. This can be a family member or friend which ever you choose. Then the Nevada County bail bonds company you use will start the paperwork when you come to an agreement. After everything is signed the bail bondsman will contact the jail and post your bail. It will take about 2 to 6 hours depending on a few factors. The jail could have a lot of people who been arrested and the processing is taking a bit longer than expected. It could be shift change for the next officers and that could delay the process. So no time to wait!
- After you're done signing all the paper work you'll be make sure you get your next court date. A professional Nevada bail bondsman will give you all the information you need to be successful before you leave their office. Make sure you get your next court date and show up to all your court dates. If you fail to show up to court a warrant for your arrest could be issued and you could lose your chances at any second chances being available to you. The court could add additional charges.

If you have been following my blog for any length of time then you know I write about people who have impacted my life and recently died. Don Crowley (1932-2015) is one of these individuals.
I met Don, a retired Army chaplain (who achieved the rank of colonel with the Army and brigadier general with the California National Guard), when he came to our Baptist church as a guest speaker a number of years ago (probably 2009). His sermon had such an impact on our small congregation that we invited him to become our interim preacher during our search for a permanent pastor, which lasted about a year.
Don's style was that of a storyteller, and he had great stories to tell. Sometimes he would reminisce about growing up during the 1930s-1940s on the family farm outside of Yale, Oklahoma, and the trouble he got into as a youngster…times that he looked back on in later years as a parallel of God's love for His wayward children.
But more often Don spoke about his chaplaincy in the Army, particularly his time with the 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry regiment (the Manchus) in Vietnam during 1967-1968. My understanding of chaplains during wartime (from my father who served in Korea) is that they might fly briefly onto the battlefield to tend to the wounded and dying, but more often stayed with the troops behind enemy lines. Not Don. While with the Manchus, Don participated in over 200 combat sweeps—crawling, hunkering and advancing shoulder-to-shoulder with his men.
Without a weapon. Don's only defense during these battles was prayer, and many a man has testified during reunions and in memorial since his passing about how they felt God's presence as long as Don was in their midst. Not to say the men in his company didn't die…many did. There were heavy casualties. But whether someone died in hospital or during battle, Don felt that each soldier deserved to have his hand held, last words heard, and prayers said on his behalf. For the living, he always had a word that imparted solace and courage to carry on.
When his men were crawling through uncharted tunnels looking for the enemy, Don was with them. When his men were wounded in battle, Don was there to pull them aside and minister to them, or remove them from the line of fire to safety. If they needed to relieve their minds, Don heard their confessions, knowing that we all do well to confess our sins to one another and impart/receive assurance of God's grace and mercy. During Sundays and holidays, regardless of the difficulty, Don performed church services for anyone interested, and most were. One Christmas, being in very close quarters, there was very little space to hold services, so the men came in small groups to hear Don's message. From dawn till dusk, his voice raspy from hours of speaking, Don told the men of the Savior who came to Earth in the form of a tiny baby, and then later died for the sins of the human race.
During his tours in Vietnam, Don came face to face with death twice yet God deemed that it was not his time. He received many awards (three bronze stars, three purple hearts), including the Silver Star for his actions on March 2, 1968, when his unit came under intense enemy fire. Refusing to stay on the back lines, Don carried ponchos and canteens of water to the troops and insisted on staying on the battlefield to search out the wounded and dying.
Don was not only concerned with his fellow Americans; while in country he also mourned the plight of the Vietnamese families bereft of their fathers and mothers, sons and daughters…particularly children orphaned from the war. As often as he could, he recruited battalion members to help build orphanages.
The one characteristic I came to cherish about Don – that I know was the impetus behind everything he said and did – was that he cared deeply for people's souls. This took on a very personal note one day when I told him about my father, who was about Don's age and was a professed atheist all of his life. Without hesitation, Don volunteered to travel with me to Southern California to share with my father about Christ. I thought long and hard about this but eventually declined his offer, as by that time Dad was suffering severe Alzheimer's and I felt would not be able to grasp Don's message. Did I make a mistake? I will never know. But Don's willingness to do this stuck with me and helped me to understand how very important a person's soul is to God…and should be to me as well.
Don was thoughtless of self, compassionate, and brave beyond compare. I gleaned from his stories (and stories told about him) a powerful sense of the value of human life, and the dignity God gives to all of us and asks us to impart to our friends and enemies alike, in the name of Christ. I also learned to never, ever give up, because in the heat of battle, in the midst of difficulties, God is always with us.

Is Disney handling of Rick Ross departure
What is wrong with corporate USA?
Avengers breaks all records
Risk takers disappearing from Corporate USA
Rick Ross lost $200-million dollars on the movie "John Carter." Ross took a risk - something not popular in corporate USA today - why we are being beaten by companies in China, India and why Japan took market share in electronics, auto and other fields in the 1980s. Ross is no longer in his plush position due to that risk.
Corporate USA forgot what risk is - like the first Apple computer. Who knew if there was a market for a home computer? Today, most valuable company in the world. Apple took a risk. IBM didn't. Where do they rank today?
This past 10 days, Avengers broke every record for income in its worldwide release - Star Wars, Harry Potter all bowed to the Avengers movie. Avengers brought in two-thirds of a billion dollars in its first 10 days.
This was a movie Ross was involved in. How involved, hopefully others will comment. I don't know.
So if I were the president of a company and you said, "Let me blow $200-million on one film and I'll bring you three times that on another." I'd say, "Go for it." That is three-to-one return on my loss.

Australia's national airline recently announced that it had received an approach from a private equity consortium including Macquarie Bank and the Texas Pacific Group. There's no doubt Qantas is a very well run company, it has a strong brand and it's one of the most profitable airlines in the world. However, we haven't been fans, mainly because running an airline is a very tough business.
The private equity buyers obviously see things differently. It's a strange one for them as airlines are notoriously capital intensive and competitive...
