Comments about Samsung 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater System:
Pros: Unit looks nice. Works pretty well with my other Samsung devices. Decent price. Cons: Shuts down occasionally for no reason. Seems to be lacking in memory. I wish the subwoofer was louder. Needs more apps.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice system
By Ilikewatchingtv
from LA
For the price this is a nice system. I like the wireless rear speakers. I wish it had a bigger sub to add more bass.
Great player. Except for the WiFi cuts off all the time!!!!
By Not1happycamper
from Riverside, California
When using the wireless connection the wifi would shutdown. I thought the tv was far from the router and would stop working. (Thinking internet problems) Purchased chromecast for the same tv and wifi works perfect. THE WIFI RANGE IN THE BLUE RAY IS EXCELLENT JUST THAT IT SHOTS OFF.

system was fine until one day after warrenty ran out then it started turning it self off with out any help what do you do about this!
No possible way to use headphones
By wrksad
from Orange County, CA, USA
I have the PN60F8500 plasma and this HT system. When I watch movies I like a lot of sound, but later at night it tends to disturb people, so my wife asked me to get some headphones to use when it's late. I attempted to see if there was someway to plug them in but there was nothing. Then I thought, what about the Bluetooth built in to the HT system. I bought a set of Bose Bluetooth stereo headphones but this did not work either. I was disappointed in this, how can you expect anyone to listen at night without disturbing anyone. I do have to say that this is really the only disappointment that I have with the unit. otherwise it does offer all the features that I need and they all work rather well for an integrated HT System.
Most impressed....

Great Sounding system
By Richbpm
from Daytona Beach, FL, USA
This Blu Ray Player theatre system is very easy to learn. my only negative is the soft touch buttons on the front. Wish they were just regular push buttons.
I Love This

Like all products I buy, I love Samsung. I have phones, tvs, home theater system is my most recent. Love it!
Great Value for the money

Great for small home theater systems. Does not replace your home stereo as this unit is solely for Blue Ray use. Great sound in small package.

Here are Laura Stack's favorite smartphone and tablet apps. Stack is the president of The Productivity Pro, a training company that helps professionals achieve "Maximum Results in Minimum Time." She's the author of six books, including the recent "Execution IS the Strategy." She is also a contributing writer for The Business Journals.
My smartphone: Samsung Galaxy 4S
My five favorite apps
1. Tripit
I keep track of my plane, hotel, directions, and ground transportation using TripIt as my personal organization system. I simply forward my confirmation emails to email@example.com, and Tripit automatically populates my digital itineraries. I access the details of my trips online or from my phone while walking through the airport. No more printing, filing and hauling paper!
2. Evernote
I use this to sync content from the cloud to my desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone. When I see an article I like online, I simply right-click, clip the page, file it in an Evernote notebook, and tag it for easy searching. I drag large PDF documents into new notes to read on upcoming business trips. I use Evernote in conjunction with my Livescribe Smartpen, so my handwritten notes from meetings and conference calls sync through Wi-Fi to my online account. I can re-listen to recordings right before meetings to refresh my memory. Every update I make on one device reflects everywhere else.
3. Touchdown
Microsoft Outlook users can sync their data to their phones, which is really handy, except the native apps require them to tap multiple icons to access different modules. Instead, I used the TouchDown ActiveSync Exchange client, which allows me to click ONE icon to access my email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes, as well as handle out-of-office and rule settings. For around $20, everything is all within one app, not multiple apps.

Exercise Of The Week (Females Only) #5 Discussion
(Strengthens lower back)
This is a fantastic Strengthening exercise for the lower back, one which men and women should use
Give it a go!!!!!!
Lie flat on your stomach reaching your arms overhead with your palms down.
Extend your extremities straight out, away from your torso.
lift your arms and legs simultaneously for enough repetitions to cause some muscle fatigue.
Look down, and don't overextend your neck.
This is about how long you can stretch your body, not how high.
Squeeze your butt as you lift.
Try to make it to a minute.

The Economic Community of West African States and its local and international partners are to meet Monday in Ghana to review the regional bloc's intervention in Mali, says Abdel-Fatau Musah, ECOWAS director for political affairs.
The ECOWAS international partners expected to be at the conference include the United Nations, the European Union and the African Union (AU).
"The experts will review what ECOWAS sees as the outcome of its role in trying to help Mali overcome its multidimensional crisis, and most importantly, what lessons can be learned from that exercise in order to improve the ECOWAS Peace and Security Architecture," said Musah.
Musah also says the meeting will look at ways of raising funds to support a planned regional standby force that could be quickly deployed within 30 days following security crisis in the West African region.
He acknowledged that both the ECOWAS and the AU have been unable to establish a standby force that could be rapidly deployed to countries faced with security challenges.
Musah says the two groups lack a strategic "lift capacity" like aircraft and other logistical equipment needed to help quickly deploy a standby force.
He cited some of the challenges ECOWAS and AU face in establishing a standby force.
"The standby forces as they are currently conceptualized do not actually constitute standby forces, but it is pledged forces, which may not be ready in the member states at the time of an emergency crisis," said Musah.
But Musah says the conference in Ghana will also focus on expediting the process of establishing a regional standby force.
"The purpose of the meeting is to see how we can scale up efforts towards operationalizing the ECOWAS standby force. In particular, its military, police and civilian component so that it will be ready," said Musah.
"We are thinking of the possibility of setting up a special two battalion commando brigade that will be very well equipped and on standby and should be able to intervene in any theater of operation within 30 days of the eruption of any crisis in the region," said Musah. "The meeting will look at the proposal and try to refine them and try to incorporate other useful elements."
Musah says the recommendations of the outcome of the meeting would be presented to regional heads of state and government as well as the U.N. Security Council.

Great! Wouldn't change a thing! Saute mushrooms after removing from marinade just before serving until lightly brown. Reserve wonderful marinade, great for dipping bread and pouring over steak ...
This recipe was easy and tasty, but much too salty for me. I'll make it again, but cut way down on the salt.

A photo circulating online shows a hybrid rifle nail gun, which can supposedly circumvent gun control laws and regulations. Is this gun real or fake?
It is just a regular gun with DeWALT parts attached to it.
First, let's take a look at what's being claimed about this image:
Dewalt's answer to home protection that doesn't require a registration or license. This nail gun can shoot a 16-D nail through a 2×4 at 200 yards and in case of a home invasion well you can NAIL THEIR ASS to the wall. I'm not saying it wont kill the perp but they wont get away. You can also help build a friends fence 2 blocks away while sitting in your front lawn. This is truly how you adapt and overcome so Thanks Dewalt.
When the graphic originally circulated several years ago, a link was included with the photo to a site that didn't sell guns, but Army Infantry-related clothing and jewelry. In 2014, the graphic is often circulated without the link.
The photo actually depicts a creation by a man named David Wiggins. It is merely a standard rifle with some DeWALT parts attached purely for aesthetic reasons. DeWALT has nothing to do with the gun in the photo.
It is a customized gun, and not a power tool of any kind. It fires bullets, not nails. The photo was originally posted back in 2008, but has gained notoriety in the wake of current gun control debate in the news. Read more, and see more photos here.
According to the article, Mr. Wiggins was inspired by a similar rifle back in 2003.
As you can see from the Google Trends chart below, interest in this image has had several surges over the past two years, with the first significant peak coming in January 2013.
Bottom Line
The "DeWALT Nail Gun Rifle" is a regular gun with DeWALT parts attached to it. It does not show a high-powered nail gun which was created to circumvent gun ownership restrictions.

Presence Saint Joseph Hospital Named One of the Nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics
Only Chicago hospital to earn distinction; one of only nine in Illinois
Chicago, Illinois (November 13, 2013) – This week Presence Saint Joseph Hospital-Chicago was named one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics. Presence Saint Joseph Hospital is one of nine hospitals in Illinois to be so distinguished and is the only hospital in Chicago to make the list.
The Truven Health 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals study evaluates performance in key areas: risk-adjusted mortality, risk-adjusted complications, core measures (a group of measures that assess process of care), percentage of coronary bypass patients with internal mammary artery use, 30-day mortality rates, 30-day readmission rates, severity-adjusted average length of stay, and wage- and severity-adjusted average cost. The study is celebrating its 15th year and has been conducted annually since 1999.
"This is an outstanding honor for Presence Saint Joseph Hospital, where quality care is our first and foremost priority," said Dr. Roberta Luskin-Hawk, Regional President of Presence Saint Joseph Hospital-Chicago and Presence Saint Francis Hospital. She noted, "The care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team that includes primary care physicians, geriatricians, hospitalists, emergency medicine physicians, medical and interventional cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, residents, nurses, pharmacists and other staff that work effectively together to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. I congratulate our hospital leadership, our cardiovascular physicians, our leaders in the cardiovascular program and all of our staff, who have put the foundation in place to monitor our quality indicators and for whom implementing continuous quality improvements is second nature."
Presence Saint Joseph Hospital-Chicago is a cardiac care leader in the city as well as the nation with a proven record of clinical excellence and with many cardiologists who are nationally-recognized researchers and leaders. This distinction gives patients access to the latest clinical studies and medications to help them get back on track to feeling healthy and leading productive lives. The hospital's surgeons have an excellent record of success in adult cardiac surgery including coronary artery bypass; vascular surgery and general thoracic surgery.
For the Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospitals distinction, Truven Health Analytics researchers analyzed 2011 and 2012 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, 2012 Medicare cost reports and 2013 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Hospital Compare data. According to Truven, If all cardiovascular providers in the U.S. performed at the level of this year's winners:
- 8,600 additional lives could be saved
- $1 billion could be saved
- 3,200 additional bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free
The winning hospitals were announced in the November 4th edition of Modern Healthcare magazine.
"This year's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals have delivered excellent care in a time of sweeping change in the healthcare system," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and the 100 Top Hospitals® program at Truven Health Analytics. "Their success is a testament to the strong focus by cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and cardiovascular service administrators and staff on basic care and outcomes."

Lydia Ko
MODERATOR: Good evening, everyone. We would like to welcome the 2014 Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic champion, Lydia Ko into the interview room. Congratulations. Great performance today.
It was a lot of fun to watch, and it came right down to the 18th hole. Great third shot with a little bit of pressure with what the other two had hit.
Take me through the 18th hole first and what the nerves were like. One‑shot lead after Stacy hit her shot in pretty close.
LYDIA KO: Yeah, when I was playing the Canadian Open, both times I had more than one‑shot lead. So I had a little room, even though I wouldn't want to finish with a bogey or whatever.
But here was definitely different. Two great players. They're putting great. They're playing great. They stuck it close by the crowd's reaction.
Me, coming out of rough, I knew I had to putt just slightly shorter and then kind of hopefully for it to run up there.
It did, so I was very happy about that. Luckily I didn't have a severe breaking putt. I had to just trust it, and that's all you can do at that point.
MODERATOR: Your first professional win came last fall at the Swinging Skirts in Taiwan. Now your first win as an LPGA member comes here at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.
Is there something a little special about this tournament that seems to work well for your game?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, definitely something is going on. No, I been getting a lot of support from the Swinging Skirts team, Chairman Wong, Miss Chu. That's why I kind of wanted to play better, to make them happy. They have been supporting me and invited me to their tournament in Taiwan.
I won over there and I was so happy to do that and have my first win over there at their tournament. To kind of have my first LPGA win since I turned pro here again I think is great.
I think they're a great group of people, and I think it was a great golf course to win it.
MODERATOR: I saw they gave you a beautiful bracelet earlier this week. You turned 17. What a week for you. You turned 17 years old; you're named one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world; and now get your first LPGA Tour victory as an LPGA Tour member. Have you ever had a week this good?
LYDIA KO: Normally they would a Sweet 16, but I would say it's Sweet 17. No, it was great. I don't think I would have any better birthday week.
I won here. I finally turned 17. I been 16 for a long time. Yeah, you know, top 100 most influential people, I don't know what I've done to get there, but, yeah, it's a very‑‑ it's just a really special week for me.
I'm so honored to have all those titles.
MODERATOR: One other special thing is your dad was here to see this victory. I know he wasn't there for the first two. What does it mean to have him here to be able to witness this?
LYDIA KO: I'm going to cry now. All the tears are gone. Yeah, it's very special to have him here. It's his second LPGA tournament he's watched. Last week was a tough week for me. I couldn't really get my putts rolling even if I hit it good.
This week, even if I hit it far away I holed some medium‑, long‑length putts, which kind feels better than having a tap‑in birdie. I think it's really special him being here. My mom is always going to be with me. She said she would have flown over on Saturday, but luckily she came over earlier to spend the whole week with us.
MODERATOR: Okay. We'll open it up for questions for Lydia.
Q. How difficult was the lie on the third shot on 18? Did you think you could get it that close to the hole?
LYDIA KO: Luckily it wasn't totally buried. I was kind of in the short/medium length grass. I was really fortunate about that. I think somebody walked through there before my ball was there so the ball was kind of heading towards the green, which was also another lucky part about that.
Yeah, I knew I had to pitch it short on the green and for it to roll up, because it was no way going to spin out of there. I was just hoping it would I guess bump and run up there.
Q. That shot and then the chip on 17, which was really quick going downhill, sort of the speaks to your chipping ability. Just curious the roots of that. Have you always been good at that part of the game? Why do you think that part of the game works so well for you?
LYDIA KO: Actually some lies here can get really tough. I also got a pretty good lie on the 17th as well. It wasn't sitting down too much, so I was able to hit my 54‑wedge and kind of roll it down there.
My short game has been pretty good the last couple weeks. It has helped me in some areas. I think my chipping has definitely improved compared to six months ago.
MODERATOR: It wasn't just an easy victory for you. You pulled ahead a little bit for a while. You had like a two‑shot lead over Stacy, and she kept making birdies. Seemed like again we were seeing the same duel you put on yesterday.
What's that like when you're playing with a top player like that and you're trying to make sure you're staying up? What are the last few holes like for you mentally?
LYDIA KO: Tough for me because I started with some bogeys. When you make a bogey you're suddenly over par. You were one shot behind, but now you're two shots.
I needed to make a birdie, and then after a birdie I would make another bogey. So it was kind of like me, I needed to kind of grind it out and actually make some birdies out there. I knew both Jenny and Stacy would make birdies.
Yeah, I knew they're going to make birdies, so my goal is to make as many birdies as possible, and when I'm in a tough position, how to actually make a par.
MODERATOR: This week also makes you become a Rolex first‑time winner because it's your first win as a member of the LPGA tour. Is it different winning now that you're a rookie and a member of the tour? Is it different than winning as an amateur out here?
LYDIA KO: I don't think it's that different. I'm so honored to win. I don't feel that different. I think the most difference was I think having my dad here. Tears nearly run down my face after I made the putt and also during the speech.
I think just having your parents here. You may lose friends, but you're never going to lose your parents. They're always with you. I think that's why it actually made me feel a little bit more emotional.
I try and make myself not cry of happiness, but it was coming to that point.
Q. The last few holes, from like 14, I think Stacy made three birdies in here last five holes. What were your emotions like? Everyone talked about your poise and how calm you seem. Were you calm? How did you stay calm down the stretch?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, you know, 18 is a great birdie opportunity hole if you're on the fairway and you got a nice wedge. But pin position like today, it is quite tough.
I think all of them, the key was you needed to hit the fairway and give yourself the opportunity to hit that wedge or to hit that close iron.
I didn't hit the fairway on 17; my third shot I wasn't hitting out of the fairway on 18; I didn't hit the fairway on 16.
So normally I'm really confident with my driver, but I was overly confident with that. No, I was more concentrating on my game rather than thinking about Stacy's. I can't control what the other player is doing. If they make an eagle and I make a par, it's really out of my hands.
So I tried to kind of calm myself and do as much as I could, you know.
Q. (No microphone.)
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I think so. You know, I hit it left on 16, then I kind of pushed it right on 17, and then hit it left again. So it's going left, right, left in a good pattern right there.
Obviously it's not ideal to hit out of a fairway bunker or out of a rough when the pins are in tough positions.
MODERATOR: Any more questions for Lydia?
Q. Lydia, they said on TV you're going to change your travel plans a little bit and stay here and sightsee. Is that right? What's your list of things you need to do?
LYDIA KO: The mayor said there is cable car downtown, so I think I'm going to do that. My dad is flying out to New Zealand tomorrow and I'm going back to Orlando. We decided to get a later flight so we can stay with him and enjoy beautiful San Francisco.
Cable cars, there is a little fair down the road down there. I really don't know. I might sleep in until like 12:00. I might knock myself out and I won't have much time. Hopefully we'll go around and see the city.
MODERATOR: I was going to say, have you gotten to see much of it at all or is this going to be the first time you'll see it? And is it a little sweeter with a victory behind you?
LYDIA KO: I've seen my hotel room and the golf courses pretty much everywhere. I've seen the Korean restaurant next door. I have not seen much of it.
The family that my dad's staying with, he took us downtown to this really delicious sushi places last night, so I got to see all the houses and buildings.
MODERATOR: Any more questions for Lydia? All right. Congratulations. Great performance that you put on this week. Thank you for treating us to such tremendous golf. What a week for you. I'm sure this is a pretty special time.
So congratulations. We look forward to many more of these wonderful victories from you going forward.

The Almanac 03.13.2013 - Section 2
Section 2 of the March 13, 2013 edition of the Almanac
American made Story by Dave Boyce photos by Michelle Le Woodside's Adolph Rosekrans restores farming implements from the days of the horse-drawn plow I t requires a leap of imagination to visualize it now, but there was a time when growing crops commercially in the United States meant entering the domain of draft horses and the iron, steel and hardwood tracery of the American-made farming implements they pulled. Pastures under cultivation felt the heavy tread of nodding, plodding teams of big, muscular animals and the slow churn of the delving metal blades of plows, cultivators and harrows. It was a simpler time. A farmer's engines of cultivation ran on hay and were more or less selfsteering. The necessary work included turning over the soil, breaking up the big lumps and then planting, weeding and harvesting. There were implements made to do all of these things. They could be simple or complicated, as well as ingenious. Farmers wanted labor-saving devices and American factories were hothouses of innovation. Traveling salesmen would visit farmers and demonstrate a company's latest products using hand-held scale models. "They were always building a better mousetrap," Woodside resident, planning commissioner and architect Adolph Rosekrans told the Almanac. Mr. Rosekrans has a collection of about 100 horse-drawn farm implements, a collection that started to come together about 12 years ago with 10 or 12 implements that had been sitting under trees for years at his home at Runnymede Farm on Runnymede Road. "I was fascinated with the tools, the engineering and the levers and the gears," he says. A substantial part of Mr. Rosekrans' restored collection goes on display in the San Mateo County History Museum in the exhibit "Plowing Ahead: Historic Peninsula Farming" on Wednesday, March 13. The exhibit at 2200 Broadway St. in Redwood City runs (tentatively) Above: An old stone barn with eight milking stalls and a workshop on the upper level frames sculptor and part-time farm implement restorer Sam Perry at Runnymede Farm in Woodside.

Since 2003, when Mr. Rosekrans transferred ownership of his collection to the museum, it has continued to grow. The Almanac visited with Mr. Rosekrans and his assistant Sam Perry, an Oakland-based sculptor.

Continued from previous page barn/workshop and a long shed that is home to several restored implements and many that are yet-to-be-restored and whose metal parts have weathered to a uniform and benign coat of light-brown rust. (The 120 acres of Runnymede Farm is also a sculpture garden with around 150 outdoor works of art collected and placed by Mr. Rosekrans' brother John, who died in 2001. The farm opens occasionally to nonprofit groups for fundraising events. Mr. Perry and sculptor Michael Ehrlich also have roles at the farm in maintaining the outdoor sculptures.) Baling hay As a kid growing up at Runnymede in the 1930s, Mr. Rosekrans says he remembers nomadic farm workers arriving in hay-baling season with children and dogs, a cook wagon, and a horse-driven hay baler. The rectangular bales came out wrapped in five wires, he says. According to an October 1935 edition of The Gettysburg Times, a five-wire bale weighed about 190 pounds. "It was exciting to a little kid," Mr. Rosekrans says. His parents bought Runnymede in 1929 or 1930 and photos from that time show rows of grapes. The farm may once have been an eight-cow commercial dairy, he says, having derived that number from the eight milking stalls in the farm's elegant stone barn. The implement collection got a jump start from Ray Stacy, a retired blacksmith and drafthorse owner in San Mateo County who, Mr. Rosekrans says, encouraged him "and sort of pushed me over the edge" to pull Runnymede's implements out from under the trees and restore them. Along with his original 10 implements, Woodside resident Elizabeth Flood, of the Flood Estate, at one point asked him to look over what she had in horse-drawn hardware. "Do you want it? Take it," he says she told him. And so he did. The largest category of implements in his collection is the single-blade walking plow. Auctions are another way to find implements. Mr. Rosekrans says he visits Tulare in the Central Valley a couple of weekends a year. It's not uncommon to pay $150 for a plow, and he once paid $1,500 for a 1940s-era cultivator — a device used to break up plowed lumps of soil. Adolph Rosekrans, left, and Sam Perry page through periodicals in the workshop at Runnymede Farm, where they restore implements from the era of horse-drawn farming. A horse-drawn mowing blade, steel wheels, and many, many plows decorate the afternoon in a shed at Runnymede Farm in Woodside. A $1,500 cultivator may even have its original paint, but if it doesn't, one way of discovering it is to loosen old bolts and look underneath, Mr. Perry says. Farming implements being worked on at Runnymede sit in various stages of restoration in the workshop in the upper level of the barn. With some of the objects, it is not obvious what they're used for. Mr. Perry picked up a device whose main feature is a vertically oriented circular case of cast iron about the diameter of a pancake. Like a pencil sharpener, it mounts to a flat surface and includes a hand crank. There's a pancakesized wheel inside the cast-iron case with four or five fingersized holes around the perimeter, and visible gears inside those holes. The holes accept strands of fiber that, when the crank is turned, join to become the braid of a rope. Plowshares into swords American companies were once major exporters of horsedrawn implements, Mr. Perry says. Even after the transition to farming with tractors in the 1920s and 1930s in Europe and the United States, South American farms remained reliable customers. And after mechanization, the implement manufacturers' export market remained strong in that they adapted their implements so they could be pulled behind tractors. World War II slowed mechanized farming briefly as manufacturers shifted to making war machines, and some of the metal used in those war machines came from melted-down horsedrawn implements. But horse farming is making a comeback. "There's a lot of horse farmers," Mr. Perry says. "It's not going to feed the world, but it'll make 'em feel good, like farmers' markets," Mr. Rosecrans adds with a smile. What's it like, walking behind a horse-drawn plow? "That's hard work," and particularly hard on hips and knees, Mr. Rosekrans says. "It's really how well your horse is trained," Mr. Perry says. "The worst thing that could happen," he adds, "is the horses would hit a hornets nest." But he says there's a technique to step out of the reins if that happens. The farmer should make a habit of tying the reins together and wrapping the whole thing loosely around the shoulders so that if the horse spooks, the farmer can duck down and let the reins slip off.

Said Sale of property will be made in "as is" condition without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest as in said note provided, advances, if any, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. Said sale will be held on: MARCH 20, 2013, AT 12:30 P.M. *AT THE MARSHALL STREET ENTRANCE TO THE HALL OF JUSTICE AND RECORDS 400 COUNTY CENTER REDWOOD CITY, CA 94063 At the time of the initial publication of this notice, the total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the above described Deed of Trust and estimated costs, expenses, and advances is $2,402,790.47. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http:// www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case V538986 V. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee's attorney. Date: February 19, 2013 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

Member Support
Making a Year-End Gift to PCRM
It's amazing to see what can be accomplished when dedicated people focus their efforts on success. PCRM members continue to play a critical role in recent victories that we have had in classrooms, laboratories, and legislation. We have seen the number of medical schools that still use live animals in teaching drop dramatically; we have seen Congress shift toward healthier funding priorities; and we have seen how a committed organization can put up a fight against a corporate giant like Covance!
PCRM members are passionate about making our world a better place. Your participation in our current fundraising drive will help continue to fuel this process of change. Your membership gift is the backbone of our work, and your additional contributions throughout the year give us the resources that we need to fight and win unexpected battles in the courtroom, schools, and in the press—anywhere and everywhere we need to be. If we can accomplish so much in just a short time, think of what we can do in the years ahead—and in a lifetime!
We are grateful that you are part of the PCRM team and that you continue to support our efforts.
Enjoy the season,

What's so good?
By Devin Duckworth | Mar 09, 2011 | Total plays: 9,395
This twosome supplies their audience with a somewhat new sound while staying true to their standard infectious melodies and frenetic percussions. No Color bursts with confidence and reinvigorates its listeners with energetic pounding and masterful finger plucking that can sometimes be more memorable than the actual vocals.
The second track titled "Going Under" starts off with a steady beat and then picks up with an unexpected chorus that loops and pops, eventually settling into the steady beats paired with Meric Long's eager cries and background crooning. "Don't Stop" fleshes out the feral, tribal percussion with layers of cyclic guitar arpeggios, plucking fast enough to light a fire up beneath you.
Long previously said, "One of the things that we intended to do was to really just to make a record that was exciting, almost to the point where it might be unlistenable. We just wanted the energy to come across."
These guys encompass a really creative sound that captivates listeners with different tempos and beats mid-song and a unique, jam-sessiony vibe that makes everything sound raw and exciting. Catch The Dodos on their No Color Tour this year. Speaking from experience, this is a show you will NOT want to miss!
You can listen to No Color here before it drops next week.
