For too long, St. Louis football fans have endured...
- Too many seasons with records under .500.
- Too many seasons of undisciplined players who are called for too many penalties.
- Too many rebuilding seasons with young players who can't deliver the goods.
- Too many years of coaches and offensive coordinators with uninspired play-calling.
- Too many rookies and newbies who can't outrun veteran defenders and get open, forcing too many quarterbacks to check down to too many receivers in too many short patterns.
- Too few attempts to push the ball downfield.
- Too many injuries to starting quarterbacks, replaced by an unending stream of not-ready-for-the-NFL rookies and bounced-around-the-league-for-too-long journeymen.
- Too many games with Dick Stockton calling the action. Let's just say Stockton is no Al Michaels and Kirk Morrison (the latest in a long line of too many Fox rookie analysts in the booth) is no Cris Collinsworth.
- Too many years since we were spoiled by The Greatest Show On Turf 15 years ago...and for the last decade, too many Rams teams that have struggled to even achieve mediocrity.
We're not going to spend public dollars to build the Rams a new stadium or fix up their current home in the dome -- and we know that billionaire owner Stan Kroenke won't put his own hard-inherited money to fix up a venue where attendance is going to keep dropping because the product consistently sucks.
So, LA, you can have the Rams back.
You're the nation's second-largest market, and you're supposedly hungry for an NFL franchise that will bring out huge crowds, create corporate synergy opportunities, and draw big TV ratings. Go ahead and build them a new stadium and try to create a new fan base. But when the new LA Rams set records for fumbles lost, interceptions thrown, penalties against, and players with season-ending injuries, don't come crying to us.
We have been there and done that for the last decade.

Here is a survival tip that you will not hear in many places. It has to do increasing your body temperature to get yourself warm when you find yourself chilling down in a cold environment. Therefore obviously it is a great tool of knowledge to carry with you into autumn and winter.
Salt, yep, salt is the answer. Instead of drinking plain fresh water, drink slightly salted water. Salt increases the body's natural thermogenesis which increases heat internally. When I speak of salt I am talking specifically about sodium chloride. Salt increases the metabolic rate of the cells which in-turn produces heat – metabolism = heat.
Sodium chloride consumption not only increases metabolism, but also helps decrease the fat content of the body and increases fat synthesizing enzymes.
Even animals instinctively know about the heat producing qualities of sodium chloride. Watch animals in winter near roads and towns. You can witness them going after the salt on the roads or seeking out salt licks set out in yards and pastures. Sure they will normally go after salt licks year round if they can find them, but in winter the extra salt helps their metabolism increase and body heat to build up, giving them a little temperature boost during the chilly months. You can even help them out by going to your local livestock supply store and buying a few $10.00 salt blocks to set in your yard at various levels so the animals of different heights can get to them.
Sodium chloride consumption increases the metabolic rate of the body which increases heat production. This means it also can decrease inflammation since a drop in basal temperature can increase the inflammation reaction of the body's tissues. Low sodium diets lower the respiratory energy of the body, which cools and slows digestion, decreases thyroid function and increases fat holdings within the body.
Low sodium chloride consumption also increases the amount of intracellular calcium, which in-turn works to damage and destroy cells and increase the rate of aging.
Sodium chloride increases blood volumes, increases and restores circulation and cellular energy production. The medical field knows this and uses hypertonic solutions to revive injured people because of those very reasons.
The promotion of low sodium diets and the disinformation of harmful effects of a higher level of sodium in the body is based upon lies so the pharmaceutical companies can sell their harmful diuretic drugs and other synthetic chemicals to that do nothing but aggravate the process of rapid aging. Scientific and medical studies have been done since the 70's proving that higher levels of sodium chloride in the diet reduce aging, increase energy and metabolism, relax the heart, reduce free radical production, increase the efficiency of oxygen use by the cells, reduce inflammation and get rid of edema, which is caused by a sodium chloride deficiency, not an excess.
Of course the more pure the alt the better or easier it is for the body to absorb. The idea of high mineral salts being better for us is not true. It took me years to figure that out. High mineral salts make it difficult for the body to absorb the sodium chloride, but also causes us to get less sodium chloride per salt serving. Sea salt contains many toxins from our oceans. Table salt contains anti-caking agents which are not healthy for our bodies. Even Himalayan Primordial Sea Salt is not the best since the pink hue of it is created by its rust content! Pickling salt is the purest/cleanest form of sodium chloride that we can buy today, so far as I know.

Three Reasons That Convinces Businesses to Go Mobile
Companies normally take benefit of as many opportunities as possible when trying to develop informational assets or profit expansion. While a lot of companies have completely embraced the opportunities that exist with the online environment, a brand new market is swiftly rising to outdo this informational head. Smart phones are quickly growing in popularity and very few individuals do not have a phone that will not only offer access to the Web but will also access unique mobile-based areas. The following identifies the many different reasons organizations have decided to answer the question of why go mobile.
Reason One: Following the Trend
New styles arrive almost every day so organizations are often diffident about following a very specific pattern customers might be interested in. Of course there are opportunities where trends quickly become a leading need for a lot of consumers and not taking benefit of these trends soon can be devastating to your business. Social networks were once considered a new feature and have soon become the main source of communication for a lot of individuals. Smart phones are following the similar pattern where they were once famous through small communities but have now become the norm. Once you choose to go mobile now by creating a mobile site you will be embracing a trend which is likely to remain and will considerably expand your business opportunities.
Reason Two: Greater Consumer Access
The second reason a lot of people are questioning why go mobile will be found with the options of better consumer access. The main objective of any corporation is to explore the most efficient way to get hold of customer attention and reach their clients to increase revenue. Through the utilization of smart phone technology companies will generate mobile sites which are specifically developed to work on these phones. This is far better to the alternative of consumers having to turn to the on-line atmosphere in order to reach your website which is usually very hard to read with mobile technology.
Reason Three: Enhanced Brand Recognition
The last reason that companies continue to get benefit of the plan of lets go mobile can be seen with improved brand recognition. As more customers identify your product, you have a greater possibility of generating sales on a regular basis. With mobile technology your company can often offer an icon that clients can instantaneously click to access your mobile site. This icon not only provides access to your company but even indicates a form of product recognition that establishes a steady existence with your consumer.
Each of these explanations represent as to why more businesses are taking benefit of the opportunities that exist with the mobile environment versus the on-line market.

Product Review: Pro-Lite Scrolling Message Signs
im looking for pro-lite scrolling message signs
well i want to know if you guys would like to help me.. im looking for a scrollong message signs exacly as the picture that you have on the top
please help i want to buy one of this
scrolling message pc board
We are looking to purchase scrolling message boards in quantities of 100 pieces
Scrolling message boards
Hello Ray,
My name is Guy Tieman and I work for a sign and mill company. I just stumbled on this site while reseaching a few things and saw your interest in scrolling message boards. We are an OEM of several different LED displays. We are located in Fort Myers, Florida. Our number is (239) 936-9154. If you are still looking give me a call or e-mail me. I might be able to help.
Thanks for your time,
I have a led board which has 2 lines and 120x16 leds. The protocol described on this page is simular to the protocol used in my led board only it has some kind of security code in it.
For example:
This wil return a ACK, and the led board will show the message:
This wil return a NACK, and the led board does not change:
So there is a code right after the text... Another example:
<ID01><L1><PA><FE><MA><WC><FE>Leon ter Linden1B<E> = ACK
<ID01><L2><PA><FE><Ma><WC><FE>Leon ter Linden43<E> = NACK
Does anyone know how to calculate the code that comes after the text?
xor checksum
Here is the code to calculate the checksum.
The checksum is an xor of all the characters sent, without the first ID tag and without the end E tag.
static unsigned char
checksum(const char *str, unsigned char init)
unsigned char i = init;
while (*str != '\0') {
i ^= *str;
return (i);
main(int argc, char *argv[])
unsigned char csum = 0x0;
if (argc != 2)
msg = argv[1];
csum = checksum(msg, csum);
return (csum);
I also have this display. It appears that it is a simple signing pattern, but I haven't figured it out just yet. Finding anything on this on the web seems useless.
Prolite PL - 2111
any reason why there my loader input terminals 14 and R are soldiered together? Will the above work for model Pl 2111 ?
streaming text
I was wondering if any one knows how i can send streaming text to a prolite say text from a news ticker or scrolling music text from musicmatch
? ? ? ? ? ?
Re: Strictly On-Line: Product Review: Pro-Lite Scrolling Message
is there a way to reset the sign to factory?
The graphics are all jumbled.
Re: Strictly On-Line: Product Review: Pro-Lite Scrolling Message
That's the way a Pro-lite sign works.
All jumbled.
Re: Strictly On-Line: Product Review: Pro-Lite Scrolling Message
if you are using serial interface, send a
message to it to erase everything
Re: Strictly On-Line: Product Review: Pro-Lite Scrolling Message

Thank you

text: Tonight, Falkirk CLP nominated Ed Balls to be Labour Leader. There was discussion broken into groups and friendly, funny, cynical and optimistic chat around candidates' statements. Dianne Abbot came out well on account of being best on telly, according to most folk. David Miliband pushed Ed Balls, the eventual nominee, quite close. But in the end, members agreed that we need a leader who has a clear prospectus. Someone who will be visceral in their opposition to ideological public service cuts. Someone who doesn't regard the Lib Dems as natural allies (has anyone, except The Guardian who're in pseudo-intellectual denial, spotted that the Lib Dems are part of the brutal cuts right now?). And do you know what? Pretty much everyone here thinks Gordon Brown's a decent man who will be credited in history with a lot more than he is right now. This weekend, 300 people near Bukavu in the Congo were killed by an exploding petrol tanker. That's a function of a failure of the international community to take development seriously. No country in the world's delivered on international development. Except the UK with Gordon as chancellor and prime minister. With Ed Balls sitting on his shoulder prepared to commit some adrenalin to the cause right now. That's reason enough for folk in these parts. So, Ed Balls is our man. Let's see what happens next.

What characterizes the second half of the 19th C., an age of faith in positive consequences, & close observation of natural & human realms.

...what can be achieved through the close observation of the natural and human realms.
This art flourished under the reign of Queen Victoria, one of the oldest ruling monarchs in England's history—she ruled for sixty-four years, from 1837-1901. In light of the industrial revolution came the idea that science could "solve all human problems" (not such a new concept), but human progress had been growing as England had become less God-centered and more human-centered. Victorian art was...
...shown in the full range of artistic developments, from the development of photography to the application of new technologies in architecture.
Painters of this era were interested in returning to the style of painted that existed before Raphael. This movement, by painters such as Dante Rossetti and William Holman Hunt (who "formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood), Arthur Hughes and John William Waterhouse, wanted to make a statement against industrialization, and so turned to nature for inspiration. (Waterhouse is known by many as the painter of the famous "The Lady of Shalott.")
The realism of these paintings is amazing—looking almost like photographs—utilizing more colors and more detailed painting.

It's that time of year again. Resolutions are made, then subsequently broken. Does that sound overly pessimistic — or all too familiar? Most of us pledge some sort of diet-related New Year's resolution, like no more sugar or coffee or carbs, all in an effort to rewind our bodies back to before we added on that little winter padding. But what if you were forced to make a diet change, not just to lose weight or get more energy, but because something you've been eating is now your enemy?
This past year I've been on a journey of my own. Well, let's say I've been along for the ride on my husband's journey. After months of dating, which lead to months of newly wedded bliss (yes, it was a quick turnaround), I started to wonder … He had frequent migraines, sometimes waking up with headaches that forced him to call off of work. His tummy hurt almost every evening with sharp pains and bloating. Sometimes he would let me in on how he was feeling, but most of the time he suffered in silence, chewing on Tums or popping strong doses of migraine medicine. This was not normal, nor was it healthy.
Then the pieces started to fall into place. An uncle had Celiac disease. An older sister suspected she had it as well and has been gluten-free for 18-plus years. Could he have the disease as well? Or might he have gluten intolerance? What's the difference between the two? And what is gluten anyway?
What is Celiac disease?
Much of the medical community agrees that 1 percent of the population has Celiac disease and, on top of that, roughly 6 percent more have a gluten intolerance. The disease is a hereditary autoimmune disorder that prevents the body from breaking down gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley (the most prominent sources). It's diagnosed with a blood test, followed up with an intestinal biopsy.
Gluten intolerance is much trickier! It mimics Celiac disease's symptoms but cannot be diagnosed. In this case, an elimination diet and closely monitoring how your body reacts is the best course of action.
So I broached the subject with my husband -– might all of these symptoms be a huge message your body is sending you? Some nutritionists and doctors believe that the intolerance may be genetic … and he has two relatives, after all, who are now gluten-free. So we gave it a go. Well, he gave it a go.
Should you go gluten-free?
Ten years ago, it was rare to hear of people going gluten-free unless you happened to know someone with Celiac disease and you rarely saw gluten-free products in supermarket aisles. It has since become a sort of fad diet thing. "Remove gluten and shed pounds and gain energy and feel amazing!" some seem to claim. But gluten is not everyone's enemy and partaking in this lifestyle should not be taken lightly.
Gluten is not generally bad for people. Eating copious amounts of white bread and birthday cake and other processed gluten-y products is bad, though, so everyone will feel better cutting those things out of their diets. But if you do not need to be gluten-free, don't do it. Just eat healthier forms of gluten, like whole grains and anything not heavily processed.
If you suspect you have the disease or intolerance, see a doctor and/or nutritionist. I've even encountered people who have eliminated gluten to combat auto-immune disorders such as Lyme disease, as gluten-y foods can have an inflammatory effect on the body.
What did we discover?
The real challenge is flipping your focus away from what you cannot have and onto what you can have. Chocolate? Yes, thank goodness. Steak? Yes, just watch the sauces and marinades for soy sauce and other sneaky gluten-filled ingredients. Vegetables and fruit and milk and eggs and cheese? All OK. Turns out, there's still a lot to eat. Just make sure you're eating a balanced diet, read your labels and educate yourself. The Gluten Free Girl blog has a great introduction.
I've altered my diet only slightly, but my husband has completely eliminated gluten from his diet. Having my sister-in-law as a resource has helped tremendously. Having lived gluten-free for almost two decades, she knows what to avoid (after drinking a particular flavor of Naked juice with wheat grass she felt terrible, for example) and which products are the best (Tinkyada brown rice pasta has the best pasta-like texture).
Now when we get together, it seems like conversation swirls around our new gluten-free discoveries: boxed brownie mixes, recipes and clever ingredient swaps. Her challenge is cooking for her two children, who do not yet have any gluten intolerance symptoms. Even explaining to her three-year-old why mommy can't try a bit of his super-yummy cookie is a challenge, but she's a pro at it now!
It's been an uphill journey, but well worth it. In the almost-year that he's been gluten-free, my husband's health has improved immensely. No more daily migraines and his tummy is no longer upset. Without gluten, his body is starting to heal itself.
Still, when something slips through the cracks he feels it the next day, or two. (Most recently it was corn flakes! Here's a tip -– the second ingredient is gluten-rich malt. Ouch! But no worries — other brands, such as Nature's Path, make gluten-free equivalents.)
So we've learned that giving up gluten is really not that hard. We're working on finding replacements for the foods that are important to my husband, but most things have simply fallen out of his diet, which makes him healthier in general -– no more fast food, nothing breaded and fried, no bagels or muffins. We work to figure out foods that are important, like gluten-free cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving and the meatballs that I'm sharing down below. And he's lost weight too, a positive side effect. It's a journey we continue to take into the New Year and beyond.
Gluten-Free Meatballs
Meatballs are one of my husband's favorite foods … so it was one of the first meals we attempted to make gluten-free. The trick is the binder. We found using a basic gluten-free cereal worked very well, as we had it on hand, but gluten-free breadcrumbs or oats would work just as well here.
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups gluten-free plain cereal
1 large shallot, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
7 to 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Parmesan cheese
2 pounds hamburger
1 pound ground sausage
1 egg
olive oil (for cooking)
Add salt, paprika, oregano, marjoram, thyme, pepper and cereal into a blender. Blend into a flour-like consistency.
Combine hamburger and sausage in a large bowl. Add the cereal-spice mix along with the chopped ingredients into the bowl. Add egg. Shred Parmesan cheese on top of the mixture, adding as little or as much as you prefer.
Using your hands, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Roll the mixture into 3- to 4-inch balls.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet (I use cast iron). Brown meatballs for a few minutes on each side.
Remove from oil and place into a covered baking dish. Bake meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
Remove from oven and serve over gluten-free pasta with sauce.

Locals in panic mode after another cloud burst strikes Tehri village
Panic gripped Tungana and Develeshwar Tok villages following a cloudburst in the Bhilangana block of Tehri Garhwal district today. Though no loss of life was reported, houses and cattle sheds in large numbers were damaged. Officials concerned are assessing the damage.
The incident took place around 9:30 am. It resulted in a blockage of the Kedarnath Yatra route of Uttarkashi-Kotal Gaon-Chamyala. Pilgrims had to wait for several hours until mounds of earth and debris were cleared from the road. Pilgrims said the PWD workmen turned up more than an hour after the road blocked. Further a JCB operator, who reached along with officials concerned, kept on waiting for orders from top officials to begin the work. But when local women began protesting at the site, the workmen started clearing the road.
A buffalo and a bull were buried under the debris but, miraculously, they were rescued by villagers after around one hour. There have been unconfirmed reports that some cattle were swept away due to heavy rainfall.

It's been a streak of trips that have all included bear sightings. This bear cub scrambled up a tree and was almost directly over us as Mom kept her distance. We snapped a couple of quick photos and moved on.

Lessons from Liz . . .
Liz Ordonez-Dawes, the multi-million dollar verdict winner, "hope[s] photographers are empowered by [her] news and take action." Liz was kind enough to share some important lessons she learned from her lawsuit:
1. Register all your images with the Library of Congress (US Copyright Office) in a timely and consistent manner. See the tutorial on the Naturescapes website.
2. Have your contract reviewed by a copyright lawyer to address the loopholes. (Expressly prohibit use by anyone other than party named on your agreement and expressly exclude co-op ads, marketing & promotions, etc.)
3. Be prepared to respond in a professional manner and hold accountable every party using your property without authorization. This includes:
- Establishing in advance business policies on how to manage each occurrence.
- Not waiting for infringement to occur to establish a relationship with a Copyright attorney.
- Using only an attorney who specializes in copyright law.
- Accepting this process as a standard business policy, like collecting your State taxes.
Great words of wisdom and experience, Liz!Check Photo Attorney on Lynda.com, in the Lynda.com Article Center, and on Twitter!

Tomorrow on the Norwegian National Day May 17th it will be 2 weeks since I learned I was cancer free.. So it is going to be an extra celebration for me. I am privileged to live in a top modern country with the best health care system in the world. But I hope that everyone in the world will be able to receive the same health treatment as we do. Everyone deserves that
Be a Norwegian
(Pictures are from Google showing the 17th of May Celebration in Oslo and Norway last year, the King and Queen and the rest of the royal family will stand on the balcony and wave to all kids who are walking in a parade with 121 schools with flags and music orchestra walking by. The same will happen all over Norway no matter if its on the country side or in a big city like where I live in Trondheim. I would love to add videos of tomorrows celebration but I have an adult content blog and out of respect of all the refugees children living in hiding and in fear of ISIS coming after them and the fact that it would not look good on an adult content blog I can not do that. But for those following me on Facebook you can see some of the kids parade from there. There are many schools going here in Trondheim too so I cannot tape it all.)
To all my fellow countrymen
Gratulerer med dagen!
We live in Paradise

The MPEG-2 market differs from both MPEG-1 and streaming in one key respect the lack of player ubiquity. In other words, with both MPEG-1 and streaming, you can assume that your target customers either have, or can obtain, a free player to play the video. With MPEG-2 you can't. Here's why—
The MPEG-1 market is highly stabilized into three main players because there is no per unit royalty on MPEG-1 decoders. This enables Microsoft and Apple to distribute free players within their respective operating systems and downloadable players. Ditto for RealNetworks' RealPlayer.
In contrast, there is a royalty on MPEG-2 players, which dissuades all three companies from shipping a free player. Instead, there's a handful of software developers selling decoders to computer companies, graphics card vendors and some standalone players, all the while passing royalties back to the MPEG-2 intellectual property owners.
The bad news is that it's very difficult to ship MPEG-2 files into the general computer population, on CD-ROM, over the Internet or over any medium, simply because you can't be sure that your target audience has an MPEG-2 player. The good news is that in most enterprises, you'll know whether the targets have a player or not, and if so, which one. This allows you to test encoder/player compatibility to ensure you get the results that you want. And our anecdotal testing reveals that you should definitely perform these tests.
As with our MPEG-1 testing, our goals were two fold. First, consistent with our 4:3 vision, was to test whether 640×480 MPEG-2 files would "break" any software decoder. We also wanted to learn whether any software MPEG-2 player would properly squeeze the 720×480 stream into the proper 4:3 frame aspect ratio.
We tested with three different MPEG-2 software players from ATI, Ligos, and Ravisent Cinemaster. These tests were not designed to be exhaustive, we just ran what we had in the lab or could quickly download to see if any patterns emerged.
We tested MPEG-2 files from three different sources, Ligos' LSX-MPEG Encoder, MGI Software's VideoWave, and Ulead's VideoStudio. Once again, we used what we had around the lab.
Regarding the 640×480 video, the verdict was unanimous; all software programs played the 4:3 ratio files without problem. This means that you can safely encode your files at 640×480 resolution and they will display correctly during playback.
Regarding the 720×480 files, we assumed that the players would shrink the horizontal resolution to approximately 640, consistent with how Apple's QuickTime Player shrank MPEG-1's horizontal resolution from 352 to 320 to achieve the 4:3 designation in the file header. However, our results varied by encoder, as you can see in Table 2.
For files encoded by Ligos and Ulead, all three players stretched the encoded file's vertical resolution from 480 to 540 to achieve the requested 4:3 ratio in the file header. This created a very large presentation, but the frame aspect ratio was correct. However, files encoded by MGI's VideoWave 4 played at 720×480 resolution on all three players, which looked stretched.
|Table 2. Playback resolutions exhibited by three MPEG-2 players.
|ATI Player
|Ligos Player
|Ravisent Cinemaster
|Ligos LSX MPEG
|MGI VideoWave
|Ulead VideoStudio
The differences relate to the aspect ratio field in the file header, which both Ligos and Ulead inserted the 4:3 aspect ratio, and MGI didn't. We're working with MGI to resolve this issue but it appears that unlike two of three MPEG-1 players, who ignored the aspect ratio flag, many MPEG-2 players are giving effect to these instructions, avoiding the potential for distortion we saw with MPEG-1.
This means that if you encode at 720×480 resolution, most players will blow it up to the next highest 4:3 frame aspect ratio, or 720×540, avoiding distortion. On the other hand, this also means that minor header errors in the encoded files can cause some surprising results; so test your encoded files on your target population before general release. If you use the DVD preset that most encoders provide, these files have the added benefit for being compatible with DVDs, should you ever decide to create them.
Of course, you can also encode at 640×480 and avoid all the playback resolution issues, but your files won't be DVD compatible. Remember, however, that the first issue of MPEG-2 is the lack of software player ubiquity. Before you plan to use this format, be sure that your target audience has MPEG-2 decoders.
We're working with many encoding tool vendors to create presets that output the proper frame resolution for the various target devices as outlined herein. Until then, when encoding, be sure to check the output resolution for all presets to ensure you're your video displays correctly.

Westpoint founder Norm Carey goes back to court
Businessman Norm Carey is set to take on the Australian Securities Investment Commission in the Federal Court over the collapse of the Westpoint Group.
The founder of the investment property group says he has taken out a misfeasance action, arguing ASIC had relied on incorrect evidence and witheld information from the court as part of its bid to shut down Westpoint.
Westpoint collapsed in 2006, with investors losing $388 million.
In a statement, Carey said that ASIC applied to wind up York Street Mezzanine knowing it would trigger defaults in Westpoint's lending covenants which would systematically cause its collapse.
He also said ASIC withheld from the Federal Court the Deloitte solvency review which found that Westpoint and its entities, including YSM, were solvent.
The trial is set to occur in November.
In February, investors who lost money in Westpoint's collapse were told they would get some money back from KPMG as part of a $67.5 million settlement reached with ASIC.
KPMG was the auditor of Westpoint but it said at the time that the settlement did not involve an admission of liability.
ASIC said investors could recoup a total of up to $170 million.
Westpoint creditor David Ramsey said investors would have hoped for more money.
"This is far short of the total sum claimed but given that KPMG employed very expensive lawyers and vigorously defended the case, I guess this is a whole lot better than nothing," he said.
Earlier this year, Carey was found guilty of misleading investors in a Rivervale development.
At the trial in the Perth Magistrates Court, it was alleged he told purchasers there would be delays in the project and advising them to cancel their contracts.
Lawyers for the Commissioner of Consumer Protection argued there were no delays and the apartments were later sold for a higher price.
Two other former Westpoint senior managers were acquitted of the same charges.

I taught piano for many, many years. It's fairly routine - all parents want to believe they're raising the next Mozart, but no, sorry to take a dump on your lawn, your kid is just adequate. People lose all common sense and perception of reality when it comes to the little ones, don't they? And suddenly I'm the asshole when I try to tell them the truth. No, piano (and music) is pain and suffering, and endless, endless repetition. As is all the 'arts'. There are no epiphanic moments, no such musical genius - no one has the ability to get on stage and let the music come to them. Great musicians and pianists are the result of hard work and practice, dedication and sacrifice.
And it all starts with the fundamentals.
Scales and chords and finger exercises are certainly not pleasant, but for those who are serious about music, they're absolutely a necessary evil. Discount this kind of training, and you're simply confirming that you're not that serious about music. Parents who expect their kids to suddenly be able to play like an angel are exposing their ignorance, and their true purpose for forcing their kids to learn music - it's all about ego. They want their kids to look competitive against their friend's kids, their relatives, their neighbours. So when I teach, I teach fundamentals to the little ones, but I'm also teaching the parents to step back and understand what it takes to actually learn music. Few can hack it, even as amateurs.
But what about those that can? Those that take the time and effort to master the fundamentals? Are they musical yet? No. Because truly being musical, just like being artistic, requires an inner feeling, a deeply personal understanding and mastery of first the subject matter, and second the ability to inject yourself into what you're producing/creating/performing. People think that's the easy part. Hardly. Without mastering and having a foundation of the basics first - how can you add your personal expression onto it? It's a falsehood; a lie.
And so we come to the Gimlet. A deceptively simple and classic cocktail, a true throwback. Mastered by the Japanese, and a favourite of the legendary Uyeda-san of Ginza's Tender Bar. He's made countless of these, but yet stays true to its recipe. Like all other Japanese culinary arts (see Jiro Dreams of Sushi), these artisans believe in repetition and the pursuit of perfection through daily, incremental improvements in their execution. A true inspiration. Before putting yourself into it - adopt a spirit of humility, and aim for a simple perfection.
The Gimlet
Gordon's London Dry Gin
Fresh lime juice
Sugar syrup (1 : 0.75 sugar to water, simmered until dissolved)
In a cobbler shaker, fill to the top with fresh, clean, large chunks of ice
Using a jigger, pour: 2 ounces of gin, 3/4 ounce lime juice, and 1/2 ounce sugar syrup
As per Uyeda-san, employ the 3-step hard shake for 25-30 seconds until shaker frosts over
Strain into glass
Lime wheel for garnish

This is such a versatile piece of equipment to own if you have a home gym or even if you attend a gym. You can exercise literally every muscle in your body if you know what you're doing.
I purchased a Bally Fitness Exercise Ball and I really like it. This is a great ball to exercise. It's great because you can exercise from the comfort of your home. The ball is comfortable and it can suite varies body types. The one I purchased came with a DVD that demonstrated some exercises you can do. Overall I am satisfied with the ball.

For many people, who they are is defined by how other people see them. My best friend of five years recently found a picture of herself on Facebook on someone else's profile. I was a good picture – nothing bad or inappropriate – but it made her feel bad nonetheless.
You see, my friend is an amazing singer. That's why her picture was up; something related to her activities in the school choir. And all the comments attached to that picture were things like "she has such a wonderful voice!" or "she's going to be a great singer when she grows up!"
But she doesn't want to be a singer. She wants to go into early education. She wants to be a teacher. And she wants to maybe get one of her amazing original stories published someday. But everyone – her parents, many of her friends, even her classmates and people she barely knows – see her as a singer. She feels trapped, because she feels like the only thing people notice about her is that she has a good singing voice.
She's so much more than a good singing voice, but people don't know that. They don't make an effort to get to know her; they just notice, oh, yes, she can sing pretty well, and move on.
I think everyone should make an effort to get to know the people we only know a couple of things about. No one should pass a person every day and just think of them as pretty, or a good singer, or short, or tall, or overweight, or skinny. We should do our best to recognize people for who they are, not who we see them as when we glance around a crowded room.
Because who we are isn't how others see us, but how others see us can trap who we are and who we might become.

The House in Kamiosaki is a compact abode but one that does not feel overly tight on space. The design focuses around a central staircase section, which goes up through all three storeys of the house.
One of the great things about this house designed by Comma Design Office is the amount of light that still gets through from the outside. This is what helps to make the space look bigger than it actually is. The place is also accented with a lighter colored wood, and white is the primary color used for decorating. Overall everything is very minimalist and clean, with no clutter seen on any of the three levels. Moreover, the owners are able to move into the top sections of the house in the winter for extra warmth.

ABC's Good Morning America featured an interview with shark attack survivor Lydia Strunk this morning. Strunk was bitten by a shark on her right leg last month while swimming off Isla de Vieques, an island-municipality of Puerto Rico, in Puerto Mosquito (aka Bioluminescent Bay and Mosquito Bay).
Puerto Mosquito is well-known for its bioluminescent aquatic life and Strunk was kayaking in the area at night with a tour group. Some of the members of the group decided to swim in the bay in order to experience the glowing wildlife firsthand. However, after about 10 minutes of swimming Strunk told GMA that she felt a strong impact on her right leg. According to reports a 6′ tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) bit Strunk's leg causing tendon and nerve damage.
Strunk had to kayak back to land after sustaining the shark bite and then had to endure travel along bumpy roads before reaching an emergency room. However, she credited those who tended to her and noted that she felt fortunate to receive "impeccable emergency response." Strunk had four tendons repaired in addition and is expected to recover, although she may have limited mobility in her right foot.
Strunk seems to be taking her recovery in stride and noted that she and friends had nicknamed the shark "Chewy" whose name appears on her cast. Additionally, another friend wrote that Strunk was one-in-a-million to which Strunk said she is quick to correct to one-in-11-million.

No attempt has been made to update or correct the text. — Any views or opinions expressed do not necessarily represent those of the website.]
Section II. SMALL ARMS
The general trends in German small arms have been an increase in production of semiautomatic and fully automatic weapons and an increase in the rate of fire of machine guns. During 1944, additional close-quarter antitank weapons have been included among German small arms.
2. Pistols
a. GENERAL. The two standard pistols now in use in the German Army are the Luger, which was used in the last war, and a more modern weapon, the Walther; neither German weapon has the shock effect of the U.S. M1911 or M1911 A1 Colt .45. The Mauser pistol is seldom encountered.
b. LUGER PISTOL. (Pistole 08). (1) General description. This is a semiautomatic, recoil-operated pistol with a toggle-joint breech action (Fig. 1). The safety is located on the left rear side of the body. The pistol is set on "safe" when "Gesichert" is showing. There is also a longer model of this pistol, provision being made on the rear side of the grip for a stock attachment. Construction is almost identical with the standard model except that the barrel is longer, and a leaf rear sight graduated up to 800 meters is attached.
(2) Characteristics.
(3) Ammunition. The Luger pistol fires the standard
c. WALTHER PISTOL. (Pistole 38). (1) General description. The Walther weapon is a semiautomatic pistol with a grip magazine feed. It is recoil-operated, the breech mechanism sliding to the rear after each round has been fired. The pistol may be carried loaded with the hammer uncocked; the first shot may be fired by a double-action mechanism. The safety is a catch on the left-hand side of the body.
(2) Characteristics.
(3) Ammunition. German or British
d. MAUSER PISTOL. (1) General description. The Mauser can be used as a
semiautomatic pistol or as a carbine when attached to its wooden holster, which
is in the shape of a hollow stock. The safety is at the left rear above the
trigger guard. The weapon fed ammunition from a

Things To Know When Caring For Boston Terriers
Owning dogs, especially taking care of the boston terrier, is a specialty of humans across the world. Some historians say that dogs were originally domesticated between twelve thousand and twenty five thousand years ago—and that all dogs evolved from wolves. Since those days, humans have selectively bred more than four hundred different breeds, ranging in size from four-pound teacup poodles to Irish wolfhounds, who have earned the title of the tallest canine. However, the most widespread dogs are the non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mixed-breeds. The boston terrier is another popular pick among canine owners. Many owners are unaware, however, of many of the most critical boston terrier care tips.

Every year on the eve of Happy New Year we celebrate and welcome the new year with lot of hopes and best wishes. We sing, dance, party, wish each other, pray for our loved ones, revive our hopes for the good and foresee a happy future for us, our friends and family.
We make several pledges for our physical, financial and social well-being. We set targets to achieve during the year. We make commitments to fulfill before the end of the new year. We plan to build a home for our family.
We make strategy to switch our job. We dream to fulfill our lofty desires. We make a lengthy list of things-to-do for the coming year.
Did we ever realize that on the eve of every Happy New Year we actually complete another year of life without caring about how pollution is affecting us directly or indirectly? We kept on breathing polluted air during the whole previous year.
Several and several among us spent the previous whole year drinking polluted water. So many of us ate several times contaminated food. We did not even think about the harms of pollution we are receiving intentionally or unemotionally.
Happy New Year
Don't worry I don't want to spoil your new year celebrations this time. Nor I want to make you gloomy on this occasion of hopes and best wishes.
But we can celebrate this eve of Happy New Year little differently. We can just add one more wish or plan or dream in our lengthy list of things to do.
You don't have to think about it. I am giving below several options. You may select at least one or more than one to adopt them in new year.
- Plant a sapling and look after it till it grows up. To develop affiliation with it, just name it as we name our kids. Whenever you see little sapling call it by name and introduce it to others with its name.
- Keep your personal car for emergency work and select a shuttle service or public transport to go and return from workplace. You just have to give half an hour extra time to pick the public transport and wait for it on the stop. In this way can reduce the load of traffic pollution.
- On birthday(s) of your loved ones in new year give them gift of a sapling to make them plant in their surroundings
- If you use plastic bags, buy a jute or cloth bag to replace with it and make it part and parcel of your carrying bag or backpack to bring grocery or other usable items in it.
- If you smoke, plan to reduce one cigarette per month from total number of cigarettes you smoke. At the end of the year you would be smoking twelve cigarettes less than those you do so right now.
- Make your habit to criticize or discourage people either vehicle owners/drivers, industrialists, hospital managers who pollute the environment by their operations.
- Create a community of environment lovers around your residence or at your workplace to discuss the environmental issues and motivate each other keep going green.
- Over social media join the most vocal and active environmental group and participate in its activities.
- Keep visiting this blog, follow its tips to control pollution and actively participate in this blog through your valuable comments.
- To make your Happy New Year celebrations full of joy you can buy from this products list

3.1 Swimlane
3.2 Connecting Objects
3.3 Flow Objects
3.4 Artifacts
Example: In this process called "Request for Consumer Loan", there are three milestone: Entry Phase, Analysis Phase and Closing Phase
In this process, there are normal sequence flows and two sequence flow conditioned by an Exclusive Gateway
In this process, there is a Conditional Flow and a Default Flow that evaluate if a Legalization was successful or not
A Message Flow is used to show the flow of messages between two entities that are prepared to send and receive them
An Association is used to associate information and artifacts with flow objects
A specific time-date (e.g. every Monday at 9am) can be set in order to trigger the start of the processautomatically:
Buat BPMN dariproses pengumumanlowonganbeasiswamahasiswadi UniversitasSukaBelajar:
The Credit Request process throws a signal to start a Sales process as soon as an offer is viable
The following example contains the Intermediate Event to wait for documents before carrying on with the analysis of the loan request
Abandon a request: The following example illustrates a business situation in which a request can be abandoned at any time after it has been entereds
This case shows a "Wait" period of three days. In the Intermediate Event that the Document Delivery does not occur before the Wait time (3 day), the client should be contacted

In order to transform an event into a signal, right click the Event and select Event Type -> Signal as shown in the image below
The Credit Request process throws a signal to start a Sales process as soon as an offer is viable

Parallel Sequential
Transferring money between accounts is a typical transaction sample
As a divergence shape, the Exclusive Gateway is used when two or more alternative paths appear at one point in the process, and just one of them is valid at a given time. Data-based decision of the system.
Aftervalidating whether or not the client has been reported in a blacklist, the process diverges depending on the result of the validation
Exclusive Gateways can also be represented with a markerdiplayed in the center of the gateways diamonds(X). You can set that marker by right clicking on the shape and selecting the "Show Marker option"
All the Events of the Gateway configuration must be triggered in order to create a Process instance
Loan Request Process:
Used to group together a set of activities, whether for the effects of documentation or analysis, however, it does not affect the flow sequence
Mechanisms for a modeler to be able to provide additional information in a BPMN diagram
Provide information about how documents, data and other objects are used and updated during the process. Can be used to represent electronic and physical objects
Provides a mechanism for activities to retrieve or update stored information that will exist beyond the scope of the process

We all have to many photos not worth printing and not enough prints. With digital storage being cheaper than ever and printing being more expensive than ever, it's easy to just leave them on the computer. The problem with this is that there digital images just don't have the impact or bring the enjoyment that a printed photo does. Digital images tend to collect and it's difficult to find the real standouts in the digital pile.
I read some advice to use printing as an editing tool when deciding to keep your photos. If you're willing to pay for the print of a photo, it's probably worth keeping and posting. If not, consider deleting it. If you start printing some of your photos, you'll get a better eye for what is worth printing too.
With a recent order, I decided to try out some of the different styles of print. I did the standards of matte and glossy, but the new metallic finish, I'd never seen before. I chose a photo of motorcycles at a show and the metallic finish was great for this. Now I'll be on the lookout for photos that will look good printed with a metallic finish.
I don't print my own. I work with computers and printers all day and the last thing I want to do when I'm having fun is work with printers. They're frustrating and the ink cartridges are expensive. I pay a service to print mine. Let the pros that work with printers and images all day long worry about getting the best quality print. I'd rather concentrate on my photos.
I really enjoyed the anticipation of waiting for the prints too. It reminds me of the days of waiting for film to get back from the lab.

Sioux Falls cellphone business burglarized
SIOUX FALLS (AP) — Sioux Falls police are investigating the weekend burglary of a cellphone business.
Next 2 New Wireless owner William Wheeler tells KELO-TV that the burglars got away with as many as 80 phones early Saturday. He estimates the value at up to $6,000.
Surveillance video shows burglars breaking in, ransacking display cases and leaving in fewer than 90 seconds.
Wheeler says the phones can be tracked through their serial numbers, and the burglars will have a difficult time selling them.

DC's "Villains Month" ends this week, but the stories haven't slowed down one bit! Though the titles have varied in quality, I was especially excited for Superman #23.4: Parasite. Read on to find out more about what could very well be my favorite issue from this event!
Superman #23.4: Parasite follows the story of a young punk and bike messenger named Joshua Michael Alan. We meet him after he's already transformed into the monstrous Parasite, a monster cursed with an insatiable appetite than can be temporarily sated by draining human life force. Joshua contemplates suicide as he reflects on the negative turns in his life that led him to become this creature. A chance meeting with the Man of Steel, however, will change his entire outlook on life and fill him with new purpose.
Aaron Kuder forms the cornerstone of this issue's creative team, filling the duties of both writer and artist. Kuder's art is nothing short of amazing. From the great eye-catching cover seen above (which is even better in its 3D incarnation), to the full page spread of Parasite battling Superman, we're treated to a visual feast when reading this issue. I can't complain whatsoever about the art: I took a lot longer to read this issue than I normally would since I spent so much time viewing the intricacies of each panel. Tomeu Morey and Dan Brown aid Kuder through their coloring work, handling the interiors and cover, respectively. The palettes they use are awesome, using muted tones for the background to contrast with the bright purple of Parasite's skin or his dyed pink hair before his metamorphosis. Letterer Rob Leigh does great work as well, cleverly placing giant words in the background of some scenes to indicate the hateful thoughts of Parasite. Overall, the art is top notch.
Though Kuder is better known for his artwork than his writing, I think he did a solid job with the story. Despite a lack of scripting experience, Kuder's pacing, dialogue, and plot are all strong in this issue. I like that Kuder gave Parasite a backstory that can allow the reader to feel sympathy for the villain without reverting to trite tropes such as a miserable childhood or interference by government agencies. We see that Joshua had his share of problems, but he wasn't exactly the kindest guy; he feels like a real person, with both positive and negative qualities. My only complaint is that the actual transformation is rather poorly explained and feels rather abrupt.
Superman #23.4: Parasite is a great stand-alone Villains Month story. The artwork is superb and the story is great as well. Given the end of this comic, I'm hoping Parasite might show up sometime during DC's crossover Forever Evil, perhaps to fight Ultraman (aka an alternate Earth evil version of Superman). Though people often complain Superman's rogues gallery is lame, this issue proves that wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. Whether you love Parasite as a villain or have no idea who he is, I urge you to pick up this issue!
-fantastic artwork
-compelling story that does not fall for typical tropes of villains' origins
-interesting set up for Parasite's future in the DC Universe
-Parasite's transformation hasty and poorly explained
Rating: 4.5/5
Brett Seth Simon is a twenty-three year old comic enthusiast. Since he has three first names, he's untrustworthy according this issue.
