Bothell, WA
Overview of Bothell
A clean city that has retained many of its green spaces, Bothell is a place where residents appreciate the convenience of a nearby city but like a more suburban lifestyle. With a number of in-town job and educational opportunities, residents can choose to spend much of their time in the area, making Bothell apartments for rent an option that works for just about anyone.
Living in Bothell, WA
Bothell has remained an attractive city in the Seattle metro area largely due to the beautiful Sammamish River. Many First Nations of Washington State made their homes along the banks of the Sammamish.
As with much of the region, logging became the first industry to develop the area. The large, virgin forests of feet-wide firs, cedars and pines provided a lucrative business, and the local waterways were a perfect means of transporting the logs. On Thanksgiving Day in 1887, the area was provided with another mode of transportation - rail - as the Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad reached the City of Bothell on this memorable day.
While rail has largely been replaced by freeways today, Bothell remains a well-connected city. Officially incorporated in 1909, Bothell has continued to grow and has become a huge asset to the Seattle metro area and provides many opportunities for its more than 34,000 residents.
Bothell Work and Study
The Seattle area provides a dizzying number of tech job opportunities, and Bothell follows this trend. Offices for AT&T, T-Mobile USA, and Panasonic Avionics Corporation are all top employers in Bothell. However employment opportunities in the fields of education, healthcare and government, as well as many other sectors are also available. According to the city of Bothell, the top largest employers provide roughly 5 percent of all jobs, demonstrating the variety of employment options in the city.
Education opportunities in Bothell are among the best in the area. Students who don't want to make the commute into Seattle can complete their schooling at the University of Washington's Bothell campus. Students looking to obtain their associate degree can attend Cascadia Community College, also located in town. For educational opportunities and affordable living, Bothell rentals are hard to beat!
Rentals in Bothell, WA and Cost of Living
Similar to many cities in the metro area, residents of Bothell pay a little more than average for their lifestyle. According to city-data.com, the cost of living index in Bothell is just over 12 points higher than the national average. In 2009, median gross rent was around $1,120 per month, which is also slightly higher than the national average.
Bothell Attractions and Special Events
Green spaces in Bothell are largely publicly owned, and so all residents of the area are free to enjoy them. Locals enjoy the serene vistas of the Sammamish River in Blyth Park, while Cedar Grove Park and Bothell Skate Park provide play areas for the young and young at heart.
Those wanting a bit more expansive greens can head to Wayne Public Golf Course to play a few rounds of golf.
Residents who enjoy boutique shopping flock to Bothell's Country Village, where more than 40 shops provide access to antiques, clothing and a range of services. From local restaurants to boutique clothing and music shops, residents enjoy spending their money at this collective of mainly small local businesses. During the summer, even larger numbers of residents flock to Country Village to purchase local produce and wares at the Farmers Market, which sets up shop every Friday.

'Productivity' was the big theme of the latest Melbourne Institute-Australian conference on Australia's economy.
It was widely agreed that the decline in Australia's productivity growth since the late 1990s was due to lack of reforming zeal of Australian governments once the Howard government had introduced the dreaded GST. (What about WorkChoices? I hear you cry - 'dead, buried and cremated!')
The lions of Australia's economists were led in this chase by new Treasury Secretary Dr Martin Parkinson ('aaaah, the philosopher' Paul Keating was heard to say).
Australians had to work harder, said philosopher opined, and recover our 'reforming zeal'.
Dr P took a slash at business for still sleeping, the media for not formenting Treasury's views (and thus encouraging 'consensus') and at Australians generally for not electing reforming governments.
There was no mention of handouts to consumers, dodgy installation of batts in the belfries, correction homes, of Australian battlers, the massive waste of money in the 'education revolution' (really handouts to building firms) or the unnecessary broadband rollout. If Dr P's predecessor is to be believed, Treasury itself was responsible for recommending most of this wasteful spending. As we said at the time, if stimulus were needed in the panic-stricken days of the GFC, there were plenty of productivity-enhancing ways to spread it around - providing more money for serious R&D for example.
Dr P's speech did specify areas for reform - 'health, education, state taxation and climate change'. Gadzooks, Dr P, what a feeble list. 'Reform' of health and education is near impossible in Australia's complicated Federal system, and even if Federal government interventions did make a positive difference (refer earlier comments on this government's effectiveness so far), surely such areas take 20-years at least before there are noticable effects on national productivity.
Climate change came next, but what a joke. How is Ms Gillard's great big new carbon tax meant to improve productivity? Any positive effect on a 20 or 50 year view would be totally swamped by the adverse consequences for Australian industry in the mean time.
State taxes - what a joke! Federal taxes have some chance of improving productivity, but according to the Australian's front page story this is not on Dr P's agenda. Slashing government spending (especially welfare churn), raising the GST to 15 % and beginning the job of cutting the top rate of personal income tax to 30 %, now that would be a reform. (Here is a blueprint.)
Dr Parkinson, tell me if you think I am wrong on this matter. You are a reform-minded Treasury Secretary, but do you have the bottle to tell us (or even the Treasurer) what you really think, as I told Paul Keating in 1986. (Refer the final paragraphs of this biographical essay, which you may find a reason to stay mute.)
The reports from the conference, notably by Paul Kelly and Michael Stutchbury, represent the mainstream view that productivity must be raised by various forms of government action.
My blog from the first day of the conference suggests a different approach - implementing tough macroeconomic policies and letting Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' sort out productivity. Were the massive productivity improvements of the industrial revolution sorted out by journalists, econocrats and politicians? Nor was Australia's rescue from Banana Republic-ism in 1986, except for the tough swing from budget deficit to budget surplus.
The talkfest at Melbourne University included a fine speech by the Hon Tony Abbot, MP. 'The carbon tax can't be fixed, so it must be fought'.
The economists in the room were literally gob-smacked, and the heads of the Economics faculty and the Melbourne Institute during Mr Abbott's speech looked about as sour as can be imagined.
High dungeon (sic) indeed!
Journalistic ethics requires that I record that the Hon, Tony Abbott launched my book in Sydney - brief report linked here.

Mrs Thornton and her small group of pals have seen Kashgar and spent the night in a yurt. No report yet on whether anyone has picked up bedbugs or scabies.
Ms Thornton has interviewed factory owners, migrant workers and sundry others with her class on the Yangtze River.
'It is so hot I may die', reports Ms Thornton, 'and the food is not great so we are eating only lollies and packaged chips'.

'Don't worry, be happy', says the Economist, which also asks why global share prices are booming.
It is not an economic boom, because growth is tepid.
Supporting this conclusion are the facts that emerging stock markets are flat and commodity prices are low - in fact the dreaded 'D' for deflation word is being bandied about.
Nor is it due to a surge in profits. First quarter results for S&P companies exceeded expectations because of careful management of expectations - Mr Swan, Australian Treasury, please take note.
But, compared with the first quarter of 2012, S&P profits are up by only 5 %, clearly not boom time results.
The Bank of Japan's deflation busting monetary policy is 'perhaps the most popular explanation' and, supporting this explanation, Japan's Topix share mrket index is leading the global share boom - see graph.
The BoJ's expansive monetary policy is just the last in the line of extreme developed country monetary expansionn. and 'Such programs push down bond yields and encourage investors to buy risky assets'.

Henry's research into monetary policy and asset inflation - using 145 years of US data - shows that expansionary monetary policy is strongly related to asset inflation and that this effect is at its strongest when goods and services inflation is held down, as it is now by the weakness of global growth and subdued goods and services inflation expectations. (The paper reporting this research is still being reviewed but is now available at SSRN.com.)
The Economist concludes on an optimistic note.
'... because of the unappealing nature of likely bond and cash returns, it would probably take a shock to derail the equity rally in the near term. Such a shock could be economic (a sudden surge in inflation that prompted a change in monetary policy, say) or geopolitical (a wider war in the Middle East, for example). But for now, the bulls see no need to worry'. Read on here.
A more worried view comes from the Financial Times, via the AFR. The headline is 'Those partying with US Fed's easy money will wake with a hangover'.
'The adage ōdonÆt chase a rallyö is a core principle of investing, but such advice counts for little at the moment as equities advance further into record territory in a year that has already generated a gain of more than 16 per cent for the US S&P 500'.
This market shrugs off poor data and 'partying like its 1999, while flirting with the danger that when the music stops the consequences of having brought anyway near the top are likely to be brutal and swift'.
So, feel free to choose your strategy, gentle readers. Henry's money is (still) on current momentum, but this week will include sincere efforts to test this proposition, as the FT's conclusion is surely correct.
And Ben Bernanke is speaking again this week, as he attempts to bring the excessive monetary expansion to an end without a bloodbath in the markets.
Budget week has come and gone, though it marks the real beginning of the near four month election campaign.
While budgets in the Howard-Costello government were uniformly conservative - ie underpredicting revenues - the Rudd-Gillard-Swan governments have suffered the opposite affliction, which is to overpredict revenues.
Over-optimism about revenues leads quite directly to overambitious spending plans. Plus, of course, a genetic disposition to spend other people's money on do-good schemes, which is fine if the budget allows that.
The great unanswered question is the extent to which the various predictions of revenues were provided by Treasury and the extent to which they were 'influenced' by the Treasurer. Henry heard one gruff oldtimer on ABC radio saying, with apparent authority, that the only estimates that are pure Treasury are those produced immediately before Federal elections.
Judith Sloan has tackled this matter at length in the Weekend Oz, and allocates blame mostly to the Treasurer, though Treasury has not enhanced its dwindling reputation either.
Henry's contribution from earlier this week is here - take pains to consider 'realistic worst case', comrades.
The budget battle is well and truly underway. 'Super funds lash Abbott 'betrayal' screams the AFR's front page. But Geoff Kitney says 'Anti-Abbott tactics misfire'.
The SMAge is, as usual, all over the place, but Peter Hartcher points out that 'The federal budget has prompted a good measure of old-fashioned responsibility on both sides of the political fence'.
Paul Kelly says 'The Great Abbott Scare campaign now begins in earnest'.
To Henry, the glum faces of the Prime minister and Treasurer during Tony Abbott's speech told the story.
This was the best budget reply speech Henry has seen since he began taking a serious interest in budgets in 1960, when Bob Menzies' credit squeeze neaarly ruined the family business
Records fall as US stocks soar, while the Australian dollar continues to slide.
'Thank goodness for the funds put into the US market' Henry tells Mrs Thornton.
'You're only as good as your latest play', Mrs T replies. 'That gold bar is not doing so well'.
'That was insurance, and the global crisis is not over yet'.
Treat of the week
It started as follows: 'In the commercial world that I have grown up in, eight elements of leadership must exist if you are to bepart of a high performance team. Intellect and skill are a pre-requisite, but these two characteristicsalone will not achieve your objective.
'Leaders must have a set of principles which recognise that people are your most important asset. Theseprinciples are not exclusive but they have certainly helped me, and enabled me to test my principlesagainst othersÆ actions.
VISION ¢ do you paint a picture of your objectives and are they shared?TRUST ¢ you will only be trusted if you trust othersINTEGRITY ¢ do you show courage and promote courage in others?PARTICIPATION ¢ are you building adult relationships?LEARNING ¢ are you tapping into peopleÆs discretionary effort?DIVERSITY ¢ have you confronted your own biases and prejudices?CREATIVITY ¢ do you know where the pockets of creativity lie?COMMUNITY ¢ have you created a healthy environment?
'The other characteristic which must be present is a clear understanding of how to manage the capitalof an enterprise which, for a time, you are the steward. That means that you must understand thetime value of money, so that a dollar you have to invest today is worth more than a dollar a year fromnow or at least equal in value.
'In business you must earn above your weighted average cost of capital, that is, debt plus equity. If thatcost is competitive and realistic, then your enterprise will generate a cash flow which can be discountedto determine todayÆs value of future cash flows and the economy as a whole is the beneficiary.
'I have a strong belief that economies that incentivise business to generate consistent added valuethrough profitable endeavours will grow, jobs will be created, and the tax revenues will increase forthe community as a whole'.

Another budget has come and gone, and Tony Abbott's reply has acknowledged the dire budget situation and outlined his 'road to surplus'.
Mr. Abbott's speech has been well received, and his approach of keeping Labor 'saves' to help with the immediate budget crisis is good politics. Also, by avoiding a sudden lurch in fiscal policy, sensible economics.
The glum looks on the Labor frontbench showed the extent to which they are well aware of the trouble they are in.
The biggest news of the day, however, was the 'debt warning' expose by Don Argus, AC, arguably one of Australia's greatest business leaders.
The Don, as he is called in Henry's circle of friends, has taken the trouble to assemble information on debt owed by government, households and business - the three legged stool of debt. Data for both the USA and Australia is assembled, and naturally it is not a pretty picture.
Incurring debt is borrowing from the future, and repaying debt, as any honest enterprise or individual must do, imposes slower growth as repayments are made, unless the debt is used productively.
Rather than trying to summarise the Don's argumants, I invite readers to look for themselves.
Here is the link.
Alan Kohler has picked up on the Don's analysis also, and reviews Tony Abbott's budget reply here.
More economic news later.
This year's promised surplus has long ago evaporated, and we learned last night that the detioration is of the order of $20 billion. Blimey, comrades, what were they smoking?
In what is possibly his final performance as Treasurer, Wayne Swan showed a greater degree of sober realism than ever before, though many economists believe the risks to current forecasts are still biassed to the downside, and that current 'realism' is still not total.
One assumes there is some hard thinking going on within Treasury. In Henry's day as a forecaster, it seemed logical to consider what we called 'realistic worst cases' as well as 'best guesses'. Even a modest application of such an approach might have prevented the fiasco of Labor's entire time in office. While budgets in the Howard-Costello government were uniformly conservative - ie underpredicting revenues - the Rudd-Gillard-Swan governments have suffered the opposite affliction, which is to overpredict revenues.
Over-optimism about revenues leads quite directly to overambitious spending plans. Now the overspending has been encouraged by desire to make life as difficult as possible for Tony Abbott's government, or at least that is one plausible theory going about.
The great unanswered question is the extent to which the various predictions of revenues were provided by Treasury and the extent to which they were 'influenced' by the Treasurer. Henry heard one gruff oldtimer on ABC radio this morning (he missed his name) saying, with apparent authority, that the only estimates that are pure Treasury are those produced immediately before Federal elections.
If the one lesson from this experience is that 'realistic worst cases' should be built into forecasting exercises, it will be useful.
But of course, the deficient revenue projections and overambitious spending plans will have far larger consequences - a major set-back to Labor's reputation as economic managers, unnecessary pain when the consequences of overspending has to be unwound, confusion and unhappiness all round.
Readers will already be sick of the budget chatter, and Henry will highlight only a few key points.
* A deficit of almost $20 billion, and not much lower next year.
* Economy forecast to resume trend growth (3 %) in fiscal 14-15, with unemployment reversing current uptick. (What if commodity prices fall further than now expected, comrades, or growth slows further?)
* Key 'Labor' spending initiatives announced but virtually unfunded, leaving the next government to cancel the programs or implement Labor's excessively ambitious policies.
* Spending increasing at Banana Republic rate, despite revenue dropping like a stone, (relative to inflated forecasts).
* Revenue fall, 'completely unforseeable' says the Treasurer.
Blaming Treasury, naturally. Has no-one told the Treasurer about risk management?
Sid Maher, Political correspondent concludes: 'WAYNE Swan has moved to entrench Labor's stamp on the nation beyond a predicted election defeat and set a political timebomb for Tony Abbott'. Read on here, but Bill Leake's cartoon tells this story.
courtesy The Oz
'Targeting Tony the last shot in [Labor's] locker' is Paul Kelly's verdict.
He maintain's the 'bomb' analogy and offers the likely next PM a warning: 'If Abbott merely channels Labor, then he forfeits his flexibility as prime minister. But by rejecting much of the Gillard-Swan spend-and-save edifice, Abbott puts immense pre-election pressure on himself to reveal his own tough savings agenda.
'Beneath its Abbott trap, this budget runs a huge economic risk. Faced with revenue shortfalls, a budget blowout and a hazardous transition to non-resources growth, Labor has pressed the button on big and iconic spending initiatives out to 2020, designed to warm ALP hearts in the coming wilderness. It is a dangerous step. Swan assumes the economy stays buoyant, unemployment lifts only gently, revenue growth is firm (forecast at 7.3 per cent for next year) and the budget returns to surplus in just three years during 2015-16.
'Such optimism is heroic, and mocked by Labor's record, but the party is unlikely to be in office to be held accountable for another round of false optimism'.
You will access a nice video discussion when you hit the link to Paul Kelly's piece. Will save you lots of reading.
Henry's plan to repair the budget remains intact. Indeed, such a plan is needed more than ever.
And Henry recommends Laura Tingle's stirring summary: 'Wayne SwanÆs sixth budget owes much to the scorched-earth tactics used over the centuries by the Russians retreating to Moscow in the face of a numerically superior enemy.
'At considerable cost, the Russians would systematically destroy their own land as they lured the enemy to follow them into country devoid of sustenance.
'In what is without doubt a courageous and highly unorthodox election-year budget, Labor has opted to look beyond election defeat, removing ōeasyö savings from the CoalitionÆs armoury and giving the government the best chance of reducing another deficit: its deficit on economic credibility in the race to September 14. At the same time, it is a strategy that locks in its legacy reforms in education and disability'.

Only four months to go, then we get to express our opinion in the most emphatic way possible.
Partial economic indicators for Chinese economic activity were largely in line with expectations during April reports the economics team at nab. 'However, we are yet to see signs that real activity is picking up significantly, although monetary expansion has been much more rapid. Nevertheless, we have left our growth expectations for 2013 unchanged at 8 %, although we continue to view the risks as skewed to the downside ¢ sub-8 % growth this year is looking increasingly likely.
'But even with the growth outlook turning more moderate, expectations for the Chinese economy ¢ and the currency ¢ have encouraged capital inflow since late last year (spurred on by quantitative easing by major central banks). These factors are creating a quandary for policy makers who have become increasingly concerned over building inflationary pressures and (arguably unsustainable) expansion in system credit. Consequently, this has added to the uncertainty surrounding the likely path of macro economic policy in China'.
(See earlier report here.)
Budget update
The journos and talking heads are just about locked up by now, it being 4 PM. The lock-up is a quaint but totally unnecessary custom when all the key features have been comprehensively leaked already.
'Plotting a path to surplus' seems to be the predominant theme, but 'restoring surplus without mindless austerity' seems to be the sub-theme. Also '[try to] re-establish some credibility with the voters', while 'leaving landmines for Tony Abbott'.
What fun it all is, and such a waste of the time of high quality thinkers. (Who they might be I leave to the readers.)
The Lucky Culture and the Rise of an Australian Ruling Class
Last night Henry had the good fortune to hear Geoffrey Blainey launch Nick Cater's new book with the catchy title, and implied homage to Donald Horne.
The large hall at the Rendevous Hotel in Flinders Street was packed to overflowing by members and friends of the IPA and the Liberal book club.
This book will be a best seller, and may even be influential.
Here is a video of Geoffrey Blainey's introduction.
Henry will review it when time permits, but you can be sure it will be reviewed by the Australian, where Nick Cater is a 'senior editor', currently shaping the paper's opinions.
Lovely quote on the back page: 'The secret to Australia's good fortune is not found in its geography or history. The key to its success is the Australian character, the nation's greatest renewable resource'.
The Howard-Costello government turned a budget deficit into a surplus in a year, then run nine more budget surpluses, reduced income tax five years in a row, paid off Labor's $96 billion in debt and accumulated assets, with net debt becoming minus $44bn.
This summary is provided by Henry Ergas, who goes on to point out that: 'Average real male earnings in 1995-96 were only 2 per cent higher than in 1982. In John Howard's period as PM, they rose 47 per cent. That didn't stop jobs growth, however, with unemployment falling to its lowest level since 1974.
'Middle-income earners were great winners, with Australia recording the highest growth rate of median income in the advanced economies after Ireland (which started from a much lower base and whose success was illusory). And strong employment growth, underpinned by increased labour market flexibility, not only spread prosperity but also proved the best form of welfare.
'In the early 1970s, fewer than 5 per cent of the working-age population received social security benefits. That proportion rose steadily to 26 per cent in 1996. Under John's government, however, it fell to 16 per cent, while the share of households mainly dependent on government benefits nearly halved to 12 per cent'.
Read on here, and if you can put up with David Koch spruiking a safe car website, you will get a fine pre-budget video to set you up for tomorrow night's econothon, Mr Swan's likely swansong.
The AFR presents a photo of five leaders of business groups grinning like very happy folk whilst complaining about 'budget chaos'.
Michael Smith reports: 'AustraliaÆs four [there were two from the BCA] peak business groups have come together to demand an end to budget ōchaosö, calling for a credible return to surplus and an overhaul of tax, carbon and workplace policies.
'In a rare united front, the business groups warned that the Gillard government had misread the post-global financial crisis challenges confronting the country and expressed concern that TuesdayÆs federal budget would slug industry with higher taxes to fund election promises.
'Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott told an unprecedented round table discussion with The Australian Financial Review that LaborÆs budget strategy was in ōdisarrayÆÆ and called for an audit on the size, scope and efficiency of government'.

Business is 'concerned and alarmed', says the nation has become 'complacent', wants faster progress on IR reform and expects a mini-budget if the Coalition wins government.
Trouble with this otherwise exemplary plan, is that a new government will need a new narrative if people are going to cop the pain of a serious reform process.
This will take time, and the pre-election jostling and name-calling will contribute only marginally to the establishment of a more frugal, pro-growth agenda.
Fixing the budget will be a hurculean task, and is likely to take at least a year of hard grind. When the budget is again on an even keel, with a path to meaningful surplusses clearly established, people may be ready for further reform.
More here in the latest Saturday Sanity Break, including a link to the latest RBA report on the economy.
From the business coalface.
'Business conditions remain very difficult', reports NAB, 'and confidence stumbles after showing signs of recovery earlier this year. Despite less negativity in retail & manufacturing, activity still very poor and labour market showing new signs of weakness. Also no sign of upward momentum ¢ with forward orders, capacity utilisation and employment all very subdued and weaker. TomorrowÆs Budget to show lower growth forecasts and a fiscal position still retarding growth. We still expect one more cut (November) but could come earlier'.
The Great Gatsby
The US opening at the weekend was strong, with revenues a bit over US$ 50 million.
More comment here.
It was a big week for economy watchers and policy makers, with more to come. Another rate cut, taking cash rates below what during the GFC was described as 'emergency levels'.The RBA issues its detailed economic overview, 'warning of "considerable uncertainty" over government spending, while acknowledging that its own interest rate cuts could spark a destabilising jump in housing prices'. Budget frenzy reaches its seasonal crescendo, with those confident about the outcome of the forthcoming election are calling the Treasurer's swansong.
In recent weeks first the Treasurer revealed tax receipts were $7 billion below forecasts, then the PM said the number was $12.5 billion and two days later the Finance Minister said the number was $17 billion.
What the **** is going on comrades? Is Treasury so incompetent that they have issued three new forecasts in three weeks, and two in two days?
Or is the government's tin ear that is responsible? Or is it the frenzied 'new day, new policy' that has reduced budget preparation to a sick joke?
All will be revealed - possibly, because even Swannie is probably not fully up to speed on all this - next Tuesday and it will not be a pretty sight. Readers should brace themselves for deficits as far as the eye can see, putting Australia into the same class as other developed nations. With rate cuts into the danger zone, and more expected, we are in danger of joining the inflationist party of the major central banks.
It has become the rule in Australian politics not to leave anything in the cookie jar for one's opponants. The Gillard guv'mint has set new standards, imposing a massive debt as well as an empty cookie jar. Here is a slightly satiric account of those at the top contributing personally to the process, from May Day 2013.
Here is a link to the RBA's sober report, which should only be read with a bottle of one's favourite tipple at one's side.
On the politics of the budget, Dennis Shanahan says 'Despite Julia Gillard's successful spiking of ambitions to restore Kevin Rudd to the leadership in March, there are Labor MPs who believe a resentful reaction to the budget and a steady diet of internal polling showing wipeouts will turn cold panic into an active hot panic.
'The Liberal Party is factoring in the possibility, albeit remote, that Tony Abbott could be facing someone else at the election - and not necessarily Rudd'.
Geelong easily won the battle for the top spot in last night's shootout against Essendon at the oddly named stadium with the roof. Hawthorn vrs the Swans (no relation to the Treasurer one is quick to note) should be another ripper game and Henry sadly has to wait until Monday night to see Caaarlton! take on the Saints. This looms as a danger game and one hopes not to be so exhausted from barracking that one is weakened for the budget presentation.
The Great Gatsby - coming soon
'Few will be shocked to learn that LuhrmannÆs version of FitzgeraldÆs short, spare, near-perfect novel is long, gaudy and flawed' says Tim Walker of the Independent. 'If you donÆt care for his previous films, youÆll find little in the way of pleasant surprises here. But if you can abide the AustralianÆs lurid, hyperactive style, then there is much to admire nonetheless'.
Tim later refers to 'LuhrmannÆs stonking lack of subtlety', which must be retained for all Australians abroad, and in Australia for Prime ministers and Treasurers.
A high Treasury official once told a meeting in Paris, the OECD as I recall: 'Let me, in my blunt Australian way, call a spade a bloody shovel'.
His successor with be able to improve on this with: 'Let me, with my native "stonking lack of subtlety" tell it like it is'.
And here is an advertisement including a long trailer.
No! (Yes, its called No!)
Fiona Prior reviews this political thriller.
'If you havenÆt seen No and you enjoyed Ben AffleckÆs Argo then do make the effort. Similar to Argo, No presents such an unlikely history-driven tale you will delight at the richness of realityÆs twists and turns. No celebrates yet another victory of the against-all-odds, slightly insane long shot over what appear to be the most controlled of situations ¢ the political strong-hold of PinochetÆs brutal, right-wing dictatorship in Chile, 1988'.

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
(Charles Dickens, David Copperfield)

Gor blimey comrades, ASIC Chairman Greg Medcraft is sounding a warning - much to his credit.
'AustraliaÆs top corporate regulator has warned investors and their lenders that a search for profits triggered by low interest rates could lead to another wave of failed financial investments.
'Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Greg Medcraft expressed fears the Reserve Bank of AustraliaÆs record low 2.75 per cent cash rate could lead many investors into attractive-sounding assets that are too sophisticated for them.
ōThis is the real high-level concern risk ¢ in the search for yield, people invest in products that are probably inappropriate for their needs or they donÆt understand,ö he told The Australian Financial Review.

The commentariat is finally - finally! - getting agitated about the dilemma inherent in current economic policy settings here and abroad.
This is a matter Henry was worrying like a dog with its bone in Great Crises of Capitalism and more recently in his regular essay on monetary policy published here and in the Australian.
With great respect to the various 'money experts' quoted in the Fin and the Oz, the so-called experts have missed one key point. 'Monetary policy cannot serve two masters'. (M. Friedman.) Think about this vital dictum from the world's leading monetary economist and ask yourself how it applies to Australia's current situation. A shaft of light will eventually appear.
Almost to a man, the experts agree with ASIC that further rate cuts take the RBA into dangerous territory.
Vesna Poljac in the Fin reports: 'There's not much the Reserve Bank of Australia can do to weaken the dollar, cutting interest rates to a record low could store up trouble down the track and the Federal budget has got out of control, say Australia's top money managers and strategists'.
Paul Bloxham, the man who said the next change in interest rates would be up, reminds us, also in the Fin, that 'Cheap money is not the solution to all that ails an economy'.
The Oz has brought in one of the big guns, John B. Taylor of 'Taylor rule' fame, though the message is not so clear as those in the Fin.
'THE Reserve Bank's latest salvo into the emerging Asian currency war has failed to dent demand for the Australian dollar, which has clawed back most of Tuesday's losses following a surprise spike in China's trade performance. Leading international economists said artificial attempts to limit the dollar's ascent, underpinned since December by Japan's aggressive monetary loosening, could be damaging and futile.
'It clawed back almost half its losses yesterday, climbing back near $US1.02 following the news that China had posted a surprisingly strong trade surplus last month, suggesting global demand for Chinese goods was strong.
'John Taylor, the economics professor who designed one of the operating templates for modern monetary policy, warned central banks worldwide against the dangers of unilaterally undermining their currencies.
"If everyone tries to undermine the value of their currency with monetary policy, the results will not be good," Professor Taylor told The Australian yesterday.
'He argued that damaging commodity and asset price bubbles would ultimately result'. Right on, brother, but what is the solution for a small open economy that wants to avoid asset bubbles? Clearly plan A has failed, and will almost certainly cause trouble.
Henry's plan B must surely get a run soon. All spelt out in his 2013 articles on Australia's monetary policy.
But what would Henry know, comrades?
Wild enthusiasm from just about everyone as Glenn Stevens pours more booze into the punchbowl.
Commentary varies from 'stumbling reluctantly to the truth' about our struggling economy, to 'the economy must be weaker than hitherto thought' to 'the RBA is compensating for poor fiscal policy' and 'the RBA is trying to cut the dollar'.
With further rate cuts likely and a budget still stubbornly in deficit, the overall plan is hard to discern.
Having watched the Mia Farrow version of The Great Gatsby last night, it is clear the we have some way to go before the dancing and drinking reach Gatsby heights. But we are trying, and it would be wise to recall that Gatsby ended in tears.
Henry's plan to curb the excessively high dollar without easing monetary policy into the Gatsby zone has been ignored by just about everyone here. (For a lively exception, click here.)
But today we read that China appears to have endorsed Henry's approach.
'SHANGHAIŚChina's yuan fell sharply against the U.S. dollar on Monday after Beijing unexpectedly introduced new rules intended to curb the flow of foreign currency into the country, which are also expected to slow the yuan's recent appreciation.
'The yuan rose on news that China is taking steps toward internationalizing the currency. The WSJÆs Shen Hong explains what the move means for opening the countryÆs capital markets.
'The rules appear to have scaled back investors' expectations of further gains by the yuan in the short term by effectively limiting banks' ability to bet against the dollar versus the yuan in China. But analysts say the yuan's longer-term outlook remains bullish because of China's huge trade surplus and sound economic fundamentals.
'On Monday, the yuan fell against the dollar for the first time since April 22, snapping what had been a strong run for the Chinese currency that came despite signs of a slowdown in China's economy'. Read on here.
Smart people, the Chinese.

EMCC sophomore punter Charlie Fall named MACJC/Region 23 Special Teams Player of the Week |
SCOOBA, Miss. – East Mississippi sophomore punter Charlie Fall has been named the MACJC/Region 23 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in last week's home win over Northwest Mississippi. A former standout at Stringer High School, Fall averaged 42.6 yards on five punts during the Lions' 27-19 victory over Northwest last Thursday in Scooba. The second-year player also came in to handle EMCC's kickoff duties a week ago. For the season, Fall ranks seventh among the MACJC's punting leaders with an average of 38.1 yards per kick. In addition to his kickoff responsibilities of late for East Mississippi, he also serves as the holder for West Point's Phillip Dimino on field-goal attempts and point-after-touchdown tries. Fall's recognition marks the state-leading third time an EMCC football player has garnered MACJC/Region 23 Player of the Week honors this season. A week ago, Lion freshman quarterback Randall Mackey collected NJCAA and MACJC Offensive Player of the Week laurels, while sophomore strong safety Alex Hill of West Point was tabbed the state's top defensive player for the opening week of the 2008 football campaign. |

PC gamers freaking out (or lying) about Mass Effect 3 intent
January 17th, 2012
Like Battlefield 3 before it, EA has announced that the upcoming Mass Effect 3 will not be available on Steam, the largest PC gaming store in America.
"Mass Effect 3 will be available on Origin and a number of other 3rd party digital retailers, but not on Steam at this time," a company official wrote on the game's official forum.
Although EA blames Valve's "restrictive terms of service," the move is largely seen as an attempt by EA to use a highly anticipated game they made to pump up the numbers of their proprietary Steam competitor, Origin.
Gamers, for the most part, are not happy about it. Or so they say.
"Guess I won't buy it, then," quipped PC Gamer commenter Candle. "Me neither," said another. "It looked good, but time to use our wallets as ballots."
Hundreds of comments follow in the similar vein of "No steam = no money from me."
Thunderchild82, however, took a different side. "All these people saying they won't buy ME3 just because it's on Origin are lying," he says. "This is a game they all want and will buy it no matter where they get it from."
Grawobi then minced a few words. "All of you childish haters have to realize that you are robbing yourself of a great product AGAIN (battlefield 3 was the first one)."
Gamer Maktaka, on the other hand, offered a compromise. "You know you can install Origin solely for the installation process, then remove it after activation and keep playing the game, yes?"
To which nbringer replied, "Then what is the point of this (junk) program called Origin!? Couldn't the game activate itself and leave us alone?"
Whichever side of the issue you're on, one thing's for certain: Mass Effect 3 will likely sell just as well as the Steam-less Battlefield 3 did before it: very well.
Mass Effect 3 arrives March 6 on Windows exclusively through Origin. What do you think of the controversy?

"When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am Stealing second after second just cause
"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Steam was revealed to the public on 22 March 2002
Origin June 3, 2011
ll_textbook_ll said: I really cant say I'm upset that EA is using origin. I use steam and its great. I use origin for BF3 and it hasn't given me any grief. Would I like all my games together on one platform? Yes. Would I prefer Steam? Yes. However, its all about politics for the companies. Ultimately, I don't care who's taking my money, I just care about the end product. So if the game looks awesome, which ME3 does, I'll buy it as long as whatever platfrom they use works. So for me, not being on steam is a non issue. It would be nice if everyone got along but such is life. Just keep calm and carry on. Its what I'm doing.
I know I'm grabbing ME3 on PC and I'm glad it's on origin. Personally I don't like steam, I'm not being a fanboy or anything the issue I find with steam is it completely sucks my internet connection and I can't play anything while steam is active. I have it installed but only play my games if friends join me otherwise I never touch it. With origin it also drains my connection but not to the point like steam does where I can't use google to search for a question I have.
but even so with how great ME3 is it should't matter if its on steam or not it's an awesome game and one of the best RPG games ever and you shouldn't skip it becuase of 1 program
Anything worth having is worth working hard for.
Do not like Origin though simply because they collect more information about your computer than needed.
I would love to not have Steam, Impulse, or Origin installed but that's not going to happen any time soon. So it comes down to if you think the game is worth the headache of what ever crappy online store / DRM program they sell it on is worth it.

EMCC quarterback Bo Wallace named NJCAA Player of the Week; No. 9 Lions travel to Hinds CC |
SCOOBA – As the ninth-ranked Lions of East Mississippi Community College prepare for Thursday's gridiron battle at Hinds, EMCC received more good news Wednesday when freshman quarterback Bo Wallace was named the NJCAA's Offensive Player of the Week for last week's winning debut performance against Mississippi Gulf Coast. In his first collegiate game after redshirting last season at Arkansas State University, Wallace connected on 31-of-48 passes for 405 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions, to direct the EMCC Lions to their season-opening 34-30 home triumph over the reigning state football champions. The Pulaski, Tenn., native also rushed for 27 yards and two touchdowns during EMCC's upset win over then-second ranked Gulf Coast. All total, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Wallace accounted for all five of EMCC's touchdowns against MGCCC en route to compiling 432 yards of total offense. Wallace was also recognized this week as one of two MACJC Stars of the Week by The Clarion-Ledger newspaper and jucoweekly.org. Rewarded with a Top 10 national ranking for the fourth straight season, the Lions of East Mississippi head to Raymond to meet the 1-0 Hinds Eagles Thursday evening in a non-divisional MACJC contest. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Joe Renfroe Stadium on the Hinds campus. Guided by veteran head coach and EMCC alumnus Gene Murphy, Hinds kicked off its 2011 campaign with a 44-24 home win over Itawamba a week ago. Thursday's EMCC-Hinds game will be broadcast live by WFCA-FM radio (107.9), out of French Camp, with Jason Crowder set to describe the play-by-play action and Glen Beard slated to provide the color analysis. As an additional feature this season, John Lyle Briggs will serve as the Lions' sideline reporter during all EMCC football broadcasts. The live audio-streamed broadcast can also be heard online via EMCC's athletics website – http://athletics.eastms.edu – or by logging onto www.wfca108.com. Previously ranked 16th nationally in the NJCAA's Preseason Top 25, head coach Buddy Stephens' EMCC Lions vaulted seven spots to No. 9 in this year's initial regular-season NJCAA football poll after last Thursday's impressive win over visiting Gulf Coast. Last week's season-opening EMCC triumph also successfully ushered in the New Sullivan-Windham Field era on the Scooba campus with a stadium debut crowd in excess of 4,000 spectators. Now 25-8 overall under Stephens' direction dating back to 2008, the EMCC Lions have secured a Top 10 NJCAA national ranking during each of the past four football seasons. A year ago, East Mississippi garnered a No. 7 preseason team ranking on the heels of the school's first MACJC state football championship in 2009. The Lions rose to as high as second nationally en route to collecting their first state football title and beating Arizona Western in the 2009 Mississippi Bowl. EMCC's 2008 squad climbed to No. 8 nationally late in the season on the way to earning the program's first MACJC state playoff berth since 1984. As EMCC heads to Raymond, the Lions will be looking to avenge last year's 50-42 home setback to the Eagles of Hinds. Last year in Scooba, EMCC could not overcome four first-half turnovers that led to 27 Hinds points and ultimately resulted in the second of three straight defeats for the Lions to open their 2010 campaign. With Hinds having prevailed in 11 of the last 12 head-to-head meetings against the Lions, EMCC's lone series victory during that stretch was a forfeited win gained over the Eagles during the 1996 season. The Lions' most recent on-the-field victory over Hinds was a 14-10 home triumph in 1983. The last time EMCC recorded a road win over the Eagles came the year prior in Raymond by a narrow 7-6 margin back in 1982. |

Re:Optimal order for lessons?
I think I face the same question. I usually chose what I need most. In my case this means the basic lessons - eggs, salt, rice, how to make stock.
Introduce yourself, discuss the site and it's features or make a wish for things we can do to help you cook better
As a service to those of us in Canada, could you please include metric measuremenats as well as US measurements in the recipies and instructions? It would help me tremendously, as I am fairly new to metrics and it can become confusing when I am shopping for ingredients.
I was wondering how many people actually have an oven that is accurate in temperature. When I bought an oven thermometer (thanks to a Rouxbe blog suggestion), I was surprised just how badly my oven was "off". I set it at 250F to get 325F and when it's on 325F , it goes to 425F. I have a new Breville toaster oven which I really like in spite of the fact that it acts in the reverse way. I have to set it at 300F for it to get to 225F. Don't maunufacturers have to conform to some standard of accuracy or am I just unlucky to have 2 ovens that are so inaccurate. I have adjusted but I wonder how many meals get ruined and cookies get burned etc. out there because oven temperatures fluctuate so badly.
That's a good point Liz. I have been having problems with things burning on the bottom in my oven. I think it is very hot. It just seems that in comparison to the oven I had before. Another couple of things to check are what height you are cooking food at and how thick your oven pans are. That can make a great deal of difference.
I really enjoyed the beef lesson videos and learned quite a bit. However, some of the facts about marbling and cooking don't apply to grass fed beef. As more and more people are buying and eating grass-fed pastured animals, it would be great to see an additional video in this section that addresses the different cooking techniques this meat may need.
Though grass fed beef is less marbled - don't want to get into the politics or health issue here - the techniques are basically the same. However, what I would do differently, with grain fed, than with more marbled meat, is cook the grass fed cuts at slightly lower temperatures to ensure more even cooking. Also, baste the meat, preferably with butter. But other than that, if the meat comes from the same section, apply the same technique you would for grain fed beef.
Discussing grass fed vs. grain fed beef is for more esoteric discussions outside the primary focus of Rouxbe at this point. Trust me, just with vegetables and fish there are many angles to tackle, and we do want to tackle them, but let's keep it simple for the time being. Appreciate your question, Michelle. Food is not just food, it's obviously more. More to come some time in the future.
This is a suggestion perhaps for the long term evolution of the site:
Could you consider restructuring the recipes à la Julia Child with a basic recipe (with the main video) that is then linked to variants (possibly with their own mini-video)?
For example in Julia's book you'll have a recipe for a very basic onion soup followed by many variants such as the au gratin version.
In some places the site does something like that but what I'm proposing is something more systematic and formal. This should work out well with web technology.
I am so happy I finally decided to be a member. It took me so many weeks to decide because I thought of many reasons I do not need Rouxbe: I cook only for myself, my way of cooking is something like macrobiotic food, almost no meat, etc, etc. However, despite all the rational I was always looking for more lessons till realized I really want to learn more and better.
Great job guys. And great value for money. I love learning the methods and getting to understand them. And being able to do it in my own time is awesome.
I'd also like to suggest metric conversions. Some sort of certification after completion of the course would be very valuable for some of us as well.
Hi Jerzy. Thanks for the suggestions. Both of these features, starting with certification are in the works. Regarding a conversion tool, we simply haven't made this a top priority given all of the other priorities we have at the present time, not because we don't think it's important, but because tools are readily available (note: Rouxbe operations are even based on Vancouver Canada).
Here's a couple of conversion tools for you to bookmark in the interim. We'll get to it though.
Certification is in the works.
Thanks again. Keep on cookin'
Hi have been having problems with the drop down menus. It frequently is hard to click on any of the options from the menu, It often disappears when the arrow comes of the root menu word when it is coming off the word coming down. It doesn't seem to happen all the time just when it does it makes it sluggish to move around your site.
I just wanted to second Justin's observation: this is happening to me too. It makes it a little frustrating to navigate the site at the moment.
Another thing is that when the Cooking School Lessons page was revamped a couple of months ago, I lost all my progress marks. It's actually been nice to revisit lessons, but I enjoyed being able to see what I'd learned thus far.
Also, I find that it's not so easy to explore the video recipes or text recipes. Quite often, I discover them at random, linked in a discussion or at the end of a lesson. Finding it later on is a challenge. This is not really a site critique..maybe some other members have tips as to how they navigate the site!
After all that, I need to say that the site really is incredibly useful and beautifully produced. The detailed videos that surround me sensorily just give me that much more desire to give it a go. And, Dawn, your voice is gorgeous! I'm glad you stopped saying "al dante" though ;)
The drop down menu is in for repair. It was driving me nuts as well. Thanks for pointing it out.
RE: the progress marks in the cooking school, we did have a couple of users have the same problem. Manille, can you try updating your browser to the latest version? This should solve the problem. If you need help doing this, drop us a note offline using the "Contact Us" link below and I'll provide instructions. They will magically appear (i hope), once you do this :-)
.... to being a little confused about why there is a lesson on cooking polenta yet the video recipe for tarte tatin shows the cook using purchased puff pastry. I checked, and there is no lesson on puff pastry dough.
I understand that this is not a purely French website, but puff paste is not exclusive to French cuisine and surely should be covered before polenta.
I taught myself how to make pate feuillete. It was a bit arduous but I feel really good about having it in my repertoir. I used to think the store bought stuff was a good substitute and that is an oft repeated assertion made by some surprisingly well known chefs. Trust me, it isn't. It is worth every bit of the time and trouble as much for the taste as it is for the confidence building.
First of all, the drop-down problem has been resolved. Thanks Justin and Manille.
Puff pastry is a course we will likely do down the road. However our focus right now is to complete the basic professionally cooking school curriculum. After this, we will move to more baking and pastry. Expect the same great lessons in this cooking category.
I'm a bit baffled by this. I will have to have our developers look into it. I have the latest firefox browser as well and it seems to be working fine (for Mac though). Just to clarify, the progress icons change color after the page loads (a second or two later). But I guess this isn't happening for you. I will look into it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Lumia 928's quiet unveil breaks from past Verizon launches
When Verizon Wireless and HTC wanted to promote the launch of their last holiday flagship phone, the Droid DNA, they held a big, splashy event in Manhattan.
For the debut of the Nokia Lumia 928 on Friday, Verizon fired off a tweet.
The distinct lack of fanfare today is a subtle indication of where Verizon thinks the Lumia 928 belongs in its lineup. While Nokia calls it its flagship phone for Verizon, Verizon certainly doesn't think the Lumia 928 is its flagship phone.
Nokia finally getting its higher-end phone at Verizon is a victory for the Finnish handset vendor … Read more

National civil liberties organization is defending U.S. citizen's constitutional rights
DALLAS (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
Directors for the Muslim Legal Fund of America, a national civil liberties defense organization, agreed to fund the lawsuit filed on behalf of Jamal Tarhuni, a U.S. citizen who was unable to board a return flight to his home in Oregon due to his name being on the government's no-fly list.
The lawsuit, Tarhuni v. Holder et al (Case Number 3:2013cv00001), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, Portland Division, earlier this month and states that government agents denied Tarhuni due process under the Fifth Amendment, rights of citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment, assistance of legal counsel under the Fifth Amendment and other constitutionally-protected rights.
On January 17, 2012, Tarhuni was returning home from a humanitarian mission in Libya, where he provided assistance to Medical Teams International, an Oregon-based Christian relief organization. Agents refused to let him board his Air France flight from Tunis, Tunisia. According to the lawsuit, agents interrogated Tarhuni about his religious views and practices as well as his activities in Libya. Agents then attempted to convince Turhani to sign a document waiving his constitutional rights as a condition of being allowed to return home to his family in Oregon.
"No American should be detained and questioned because of his or her religion, ethnicity or for having a non-Anglo name," said Khalil Meek, Executive Director of MLFA. "We're all for security and keeping America safe, but indiscriminately convicting people and sentencing them to a no-fly list with no mechanism for defending themselves is against the values of justice we hold dear in America."
Tarhuni was finally allowed to fly home on February 14, 2012. However, the lawsuit also claims that Tarhuni has been prevented from boarding domestic flights, forcing him to travel by car or rail when representing Medical Teams International at a Nobel Peace Prize function in Minneapolis, attending meetings in Washington, D.C., and speaking at an event in Seattle. The government has failed to provide any remedy to challenge his inclusion on, or removal from, the no-fly list. Tarhuni is seeking $1 million in damages.
The Muslim Legal Fund of America (MFLA) is a national civil liberties legal fund that defends the U.S. Bill of Rights by supporting legal cases involving civil liberty encroachments. Established in 2001, MLFA has defended freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to a fair trial, due process of law and many of our nation's civil liberties.

OKTahereh Mafi's writing skills are on full display with the debut of her first book SHATTER ME. Wow, just...wow! What a read and so completely not what I expected (in a good way). This is one of those rare reads that truly catches you off guard. What I was (happily) expecting with this new ya novel?..To be honest...the usual light teen romance with some sort of paranormal twist. What I got was, well...so, so much more. Mafi definitely has a new fan in me.
I didn't want to put SHATTER ME down once I started it and cannot wait for the next installment. I don't really want to go into the plot here and risk spoiling anything but if you're super curious, keep reading for spoiler and a taste of what to expect with this captivating book...
The best way I can think to describe SHATTER ME, is a beautifully written dystopian novel with an x-men(ish) story for the 21st century, full of emotion, danger and adventure!
Truly a fantastic read with an equally fantastic narrator.. And if this initial book is any indication as to what's to come, the Shatter Me Series is one to be reckoned with!

Robbers use X5 to loot California Apple Store
Apparently trying to snatch and unload a grip of 4 and 4S iPhones before the 5 showed up and sent their value plunging, 22-year-old parolee Equonne Howard allegedly drove his personal 2003 BMW X5 through the front of the Temecula, Calif. Apple Store on Sept. 6th. An accomplice then collected a passel of tablets and phones, while Howard attempted to reverse the Bimmer through the store's security gate.
While Howard eventually managed to force the ute back through the gate that his dramatic entrance had sprung upward, his license plate detached itself in the process. After changing one tire near the store and allegedly liberating a can of Fix-A-Flat from a local 7-11 (in a failed attempt to re-inflate another), the suspect abandoned the X5 and went back to the Apple Store to retrieve the incriminating number plate with the keys to the Bimmer still in his pocket.
Riverside County Sheriff deputies apprehended him upon his return to the scene, and he's currently in jail, no doubt hoping somebody'll pony up his $600,000 bail—the amount of damage he's accused of causing to the store.
Meanwhile, witness the spectacular and ill-conceived robbery via the store's security-camera footage courtesy of the Press-Enterprise. The nine-year-old ute acquitted itself rather well, don'tcha think? Howard's prospects for acquittal, on the other hand, seem rather dim.

Reduces costs. Improves decision making. Enables improved customer service.
IBM® Datacap Taskmaster Capture extracts information from document images for use in enterprise content management (ECM) and line of business systems. This software operates as a universal capture portal that transforms all forms of documents entering your organization. Now you can significantly reduce labor and paper costs, and deliver meaningful information for better, faster decisions and delight your customers with enhanced customer service responsiveness.
Datacap Taskmaster Capture is considered a leading enterprise capture platform because it offers:
- Best-in-class capture—you gain support for multiple recognition engines, all configurable using rules with support for dozens of languages, including Simplified Chinese and Cyrillic.
- Adaptable, extendible rules-based capture—which can be configured with a simple point and click interface. Datacap Taskmaster Capture offers the most flexible set of capture capabilities in a single product
- Scanning and verification using a browser—you get an integrated solution for remote scanning or verification over the Internet using a browser.
- Document classification using content analytics from Watson — the software features a comprehensive strategy for locating data on unstructured documents
- Licensing options to fit changing requirements - from Taskmaster Entry Level to Taskmaster Enterprise Edition.
Best-in-class capture
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture features an open architecture that supports documents with barcodes, machine-printed text, hand-printed text or check boxes.
- It includes three optical character recognition (OCR) engines: ABBYY FineReader, OpenText Recostar, and Nuance ScanSoft. Connectors to add Parascript FieldScript supports documents with cursive and handprint capture.
- You can determine which engine is the most accurate for that particular document, or even a specific field.
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture supports Unicode double byte languages. Capture text and localize screens in dozens of languages including Cyrillic and Simplified Chinese.
Adaptable, extendible rules-based capture
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture includes hundreds of prebuilt actions and rules, which span every function of document capture such as multi language recognition, document classification, validations and business rules and formatting for business systems.
- Working in Datacap Studio, the environment for building and testing capture applications, you can assemble rules and actions like building blocks.
- You can point and click to configure advanced capture applications — with no programming skill required.
- You can save and reuse rules and adjust parameters as needs change. You can apply rules developed for one application to other applications using a copy-and-paste feature.
Scanning, administration and verification using a browser
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture applications can combine remote scanning and verification with advanced thick client capture functions, such as document ID, recognition and validations.
- Capture capabilities can reduce shipping costs and accelerate the input of documents.
- Perform a variety of administration functions in the browser. Use the Job Monitor in the thick or thin client to view the entire capture environment or filter it to focus on a single process or batch.
- Use the notification utility to program Datacap Taskmaster Capture to issue email notifications whenever certain situations occur, such as a batch being held for more than 24 hours.
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture also delivers standard reports which can be issued daily, weekly or monthly. It also supports FileNet System Monitor and ships with the System Dashboard for ECM
Document classification using content analytics from Watson
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture has many standard methods for document identification including rules to find a high percentage of required data. Smart verify panels enable operators to key data into the remaining fields in seconds with a single click on the image. After that, document type and field locations are stored in a library.
- For advanced classification and identification, Taskmaster can leverage content analytics with a connector to IBM Content Classification, a Watson technology that "reads" the document and classifies by content with a very high degree of accuracy.
Several licensing options to fit your budget
- Datacap Taskmaster Entry Level offers a low cost solution for automating document indexing and archiving into IBM repositories or Microsoft SharePoint. Taskmaster Entry Level features rapid application deployment tool and intuitive interface to get up and running fast. Add connectors for fax input, email and electronic documents and you have a solution for total document capture. When you want additional capture capabilities, there's an easy upgrade path to Taskmaster Capture.
- Datacap Taskmaster Capture is a robust and scalable document capture platform that enables you to configure any type of capture solution to streamline process and reduce cost. Mix thin and thick client deployments, multiple OCR engines, multicore processing, AP capture with line item extraction, and special connectors for handwriting and content analytics.
- Datacap Taskmaster Enterprise Edition presents the typical connectors for high volume capture as a single user-based add-on that enables fax, email and electronic document input, Rulerunner Enterprise and IBM Content Classification.

PagePendant Triad
Cut from the Pages of Your Life! Each PagePendant Triad features your special names in deep detail. The tablet is approximately 1-1/4" wide and includes your choice of an 18" mesh or rolo chain.
The design is delicately curved on both sides, and has a substantial sturdy touch. Carefully designed so that each name appears completely at least once, these shapes give the illusion of being lifted off of a page of continuous script text, for a stunning effect.
If you would like to include a special date, just add your date in one of the name fields (note: dates will appear in the following example date format: 4 22 1998). For fewer than 5 names, just leave additional fields blank. Don't worry. We will still fill the pendant with the names you give us.
Each pendant is hand-crafted in our proprietary jeweler's fine stainless steel, PurLuxium, featuring our PurLuxium Lifetime Warranty.
Your complete satisfaction and confidence in Carved Creations is our mission.
If you are not completely satisfied with your custom-made jewelry, you can return it within 60 days for a full refund. Yes, it's that easy!

Essie Nail Polish
Essie Nail Polish Reviews
Really tops
I have always been an Opi girl, but I tried Essie and love it. Tons of colors, does not chip, and a good orice. — 1 year, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 13 people said helpful
Worth every penny!
I used to wonder why people would shell out $8 for a nail polish! After awhile, they get thick and gunky and you have to throw them away, and I like too many colors to invest in nail polish like that. Well, that was until I picked up some Essie and some OPI. While I never pay full price for them (I get them on sale or on clearance), they'd still be worth the $8 if it were a color you wore often. The quality of the nail polish is much better in general than that of drugstore nail polishes. They don't chip as soon as drugstore polishes do. I own Body Language (a pale pale gray that has just a touch of light pink in it), and Infatuation (Barbie pink) and love both of them. — 3 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 18 people said helpful
Essie is very good nail polish...
I like that Essie readily available at most drug stores. Essie has gorgeous colors and goes on well. My only complaint is, it chips sooner than OPI polish. Overall, a great, accessible brand for a great value as well. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 5 people said helpful
