Chinatown Wars: Buy Now On PSN Or In UMD Format
The PSP has plenty of appealing software on store shelves these days, but one of the latest releases can also be found on the PSN...and ahead of the standard Thursday update.
If you decided to jump onto the PlayStation Store at some point in the past 24 hours, you may have noticed that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is sitting there, waiting to be bought. It's also available on UMD down at your local game store if you'd rather do that, but in this case, it may be more convenient for you to nab one of the most anticipated ports of the year in digital format. In this latest GTA adventure, the main character - Huang Lee - comes back to Liberty City on a mission of revenge: he's on a quest to find the man who killed his father. Featuring plenty of new content and a definite visual upgrade from the DS version, Chinatown Wars is one of those game that most PSP owners will want to have in their collections. Said Rockstar founder Sam Houser:
"Chinatown Wars represents our desire to continue innovating and delivering an unparalleled level of entertainment for portable games. The team at Rockstar Leeds has taken one of their most acclaimed titles of all time and built upon that experience in a way that could only be done on the PSP system."
There are more than enough reasons to own a PSP right now, and if you've forgotten, the GTA franchise has done extraordinarily well on Sony's portable unit. They recently said they have no intention of abandoning the PSP - people thought they might when Chinatown Wars only released for the DS - and that should come as good news to all. So if you want the newest handheld GTA, just log on to the PSN tonight!

i loved the ps2 version to death and literally shat a brick when i saw it in UMD form and bought it with a psp.
than found out its not the same as the ps2 version and was completley utterly shattered because it SUCKED!
if sony were to put crash bash on to the PSN so i could play it on my psp i would be instantly there.

Homily 24 – 23rd Sunday in Ordinary TimeSeptember 6th, 2009, by Fr. Shawn P. Tunink
Be Open to Hear the Word of God
We all know that Jesus performed many healings in his public ministry, most of which were not recorded anywhere. Why then, among all these, did St. Mark choose to tell us about the healing of the deaf and mute man in the Gospel today? For one thing, the Greek word for "mute" is used in only two places in all of Scripture, in the Gospel and in our first reading from the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah tells us that when the Messiah comes he will restore sight to the blind, restore hearing to the deaf, and the "mute" will sing. Mark is clearly telling us that Jesus fulfills this passage and is the Messiah.
However, both St. Mark and the early Church often made use of this healing for another reason. It is a symbolic model of the process of evangelization, or spreading the "good news" about Jesus. The apostles heard the Word of God and then went out and spoke about it to everyone. These people heard the apostles preaching and they in turn went and spoke about it to all their friends. Eventually the good news reached the entire world.
Today, however, we are in danger of losing the faith that the apostles gave their lives to hand on. Many people are abandoning the faith. For this reason, John Paul II called us to what he termed a "New Evangelization." We've got to start this process of hearing and speaking all over again. When we hear the term "New Evangelization" we might immediately think about going out and speaking more about the faith. This is backward. The reason we are not speaking the Word of God well is because we are not hearing it well.
It is common that when a man goes deaf he will ultimately develop a speech impediment because he can't hear. The Church is suffering from a sort of spiritual speech impediment and the cure can only come from learning the hear again. Jesus first heals the man's hearing and then frees his tongue. The same will be true for the New Evangelization. The Good News is that God so loved the world that he sent his only son that we might have life. That's really great news, but most of us are not "hearing" it and hence are not sharing it.
In order to heal the deaf and mute man in the Gospel, Jesus had to take him away from the crowd. Maybe God is calling you to come away, to leave what is comfortable so that he can help you to hear the Good News. Jesus could have just willed that the man be healed, but instead he touched him. He put his fingers in his ears and spit on his tongue. He then spoke a seemingly magic word…ephphatha. It means "be open" in Jesus' native Aramaic. Jesus wants to touch each of us as well and allow us to hear clearly so that we may speak clearly. What next step is God asking you to take? Whatever it is, hear Jesus saying ephphatha…that is…be open.

Pael returns to Japan for Real Spirits fight-A A +A
Tuesday, August 19, 2014
PROMISING prospect Renoel Pael returns to Japan for his second fight outside the country.
Pael faces off with Japanese newcomer Yuki Yonaha in one of the fights of Real Spirits vol. 38 – "Philippines vs. Japan" this Friday night at the Kobe Municipal Central Gym.
Pael along with his coach Brix Flores and an American coach Joe Clough will fly today at 9 PM to Manila followed by a 3 PM flight to Japan.
Pael has had a bad experience in his only other fight outside the Philippines, wherein he was on the losing end of a split decision.
This time the 23-year-old Cebu-based boxer isn't leaving it to the hands of the
"He is in great condition. Our target is really a knockout so that there will be no hometown decision. We just can't say what round (we are going to knock him out)," Flores told Sun.Star Cebu.
Pael fought in Thailand last Feb. 28 and lost a close split decision to veteran Thai Noknoi Sitthiprasert.
After that loss, Pael was back in the winning column with a unanimous decision over journeyman Jonathan Ricablanca.
Pael is 13-1-1 with five knockouts, while Yonaha is 3-1 with three knockouts.
Yonaha just suffered his first career defeat with unanimous decision loss in the hands of Takayuki Okumoto last April and is hungry to return to his winning ways.
Pael has logged more than a hundred rounds for this fight and has sparred with the likes of unbeaten Neil John Tabanao and experienced Gerpaul Valero.
Three other Pinoys are fighting in the boxing show.
Renren Pasignahin (6-3-1, 2 KOs) slugs it out with undefeated up-and-comer Shun Kubo (4-0, 3 KOs), Jhunriel Ramonal (13-7-4, 7 KOs) locks horns with Kota Fukuoka (15-4-2, 12 KOs) and journeyman Roque Lauro (10-16-4, 2 KOs) slugs it out with 19-year-old prospect Ryuya Yamanaka (7-1, 2 KOs).

It's good to meet you, Dirty Birdie Authors. My name is Elizabeth Black and I write smut. Good smut. The kind of smut that gets your knickers soaked. I'm here to tell you about my new and delicious erotic romance novel, No Restraint. I'm also offering a give-away of one of my two erotic retellings of fairy tales, either Trouble In Thigh High Boots (erotic Puss In Boots) or Climbing Her Tower (erotic Rapunzel). Your choice. Enter the contest and good luck!
I love reading, although it's a bit harder than it used to be for me since my eyes are shot. I need Coke bottle bottom glasses. I have a Kindle and I set the font to a larger font number. I also read with my glasses off. It's easier to see the print that way. I read mostly horror, thrillers, and mysteries but I do like erotic short story collections. I have a special fondness for erotic retellings of fairy tales. My next read for enjoyment is Ann Rice's Sleeping Beauty series she wrote as Anne Rochelaure. I really need to add those books to my repertoire.
My favorite way to read is sitting on the couch with my headphones on. I block out ambient sound with trance music. Digitally Imported – Epic Trance is my favorite radio station. I'm one of those people who can read and write with music playing in the background. In addition to trance, I like ambient New Age music, especially if ocean sounds play in the background. My favorite artists are Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Tiêsto, Aly and Fila, Sean Tyas, Biosphere, Enigma, Delerium, Adiemus, and Dan Gibson.
My book No Restraint takes all I like about erotic romance and I put it into one story. My alpha hero Jackson Beale has the good looks and money that make fantasy heroes so popular in romance fiction but the guy isn't perfect. He has plenty of flaws. My heroine Alex Craig has already begun her journey into experiencing the full extent of all her senses. She craves la Dolce Vita. She simply needs a more experienced partner to show her the ropes, and she finds him in Jackson. They share a trip into the sexy and exciting world of decadence. I wrote the kind of book I like to read.
Reading is an enjoyable pastime, next to watching cheesy horror movies. I have been able to get into a good book since I first learned to read. Even before that – when my mother would read to me. As long as I can enjoy a good book, all will be right with the world.

Web Site: http://elizabethablack.blogspot.com/p/no-restraint.html
Alex Craig accepts a new job at a high-end sex doll company called Babes. Babes' dolls are high-end, expensive silicone love toys. Working at Babes is like working for a bacchanal. The company's culture is all about decadence, enjoying the good life, exciting sex, and enticing food and drink. Alex meets Jackson Beale, one of the company's vice-presidents. Jackson takes Alex on a new and exciting journey of carnal pleasure. He introduces her to new tactile and kinky pleasures, and she relishes her excitement. The world takes on an entirely new meaning and importance to Alex as she learns what she's been missing in her life.
Elizabeth Black writes sexy and naughty stories as an erotica and erotic romance writer. She lives a stone's throw from the churning Atlantic ocean on the Massachusetts coast with her husband and son, and the beach figures prominently in many of her stories. When she is not creating new exciting and sexy worlds, she enjoys baking, making her own bath products, watching horror movies, reading, and traveling. She makes a point of traveling with her husband to Chinatown in Boston most Fridays in the dead of night for a tasty dinner at stupid o'clock in the morning. An inveterate cat lover, her three little furballs keep her company while she writes and otherwise goes about her day. Here's where to find her on the web.

In bed that evening, she succumbed to the build-up of lust she felt for Jackson since the moment she laid eyes on him at Babes. She felt as if she had fallen into a deep, warm bottomless well. Her stomach flip-flopped with excitement as she sailed headfirst into her passion for Jackson. The scent of limes, lemongrass, and sea salt lingered on his skin. As she undressed him, her fingers fumbled with the buttons on his shirt. He took her hands in his and guided them to his hips. Arousal took over her very being. She wanted him, and she shivered with delight at his invitation. With one graceful movement, he removed his shirt. She spied a tattoo of an Asian character on his right shoulder, and she traced the ink with her index finger.
'What's this?'
'It's Japanese Kanji. The word is nikuyoku.'
'And that means?'
He turned his face toward hers and gave her a sly smile. 'Lust.'
Wasting no time, he quickly removed her shirt. Warm air flowed over her skin, making her tingle all over. His mere touch drove her mad! When he pressed his lips against her throat, it took all her willpower to keep from throwing him on the bed and taking over herself. She didn't want to do that. No, she wanted him to ravish her. They were in no rush, and she wanted to enjoy his body and her own craving to the fullest.
'You drive me mad, woman,' he moaned in her ear. 'You get under my skin like no one ever has before. I'm not sure what it is about you.' He brushed his lips against her jawline. 'Your honesty. Your sweetness. I trust you, which is saying a lot. I'm not by nature a trusting person. You bring out the best in me. I want to take good care of you.'
She didn't know what to say in response that wouldn't sound trite, so instead she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly. His lips traveled from her jaw down her throat until they reached her breasts. Hands trembling, he kneaded her breasts until the soft flesh glowed pink. Nipples hard and aching for his touch, she melted into his embrace when he sucked on each one, slowly and with great gentleness.
Without warning, he knelt in front of her on the bed, his head between her knees. His hands gripped her hips with such longing she couldn't help but run her fingers through his hair. He sighed, and looked up at her with wide, shining eyes. The longing and love in his face stunned her. She knew he opened up to her in ways he didn't to others, and she didn't want to ever let him go.
'You mean the world to me, Alex,' he said. 'This is a very special day to me. I hope it is for you, too. It's the first time we're going to make love. And I want it to be perfect.'
Overwhelmed with emotion, she smiled and kissed him on the forehead, then on the cheeks, eyes, and lips. She needed him as much as he needed her, and she was never going to let him go. His passion aroused her so much she was already very wet. She lay on her back on the bed, legs spread, waiting for him to enter her, but he surprised her by kissing her knees, and moving up to her thighs. With eagerness, he kissed her heat. Jackson gently lapped her folds with his expert tongue until she was so wet and overheated sweat beaded on her forehead.
Jackson slipped two fingers inside her, then three, all the while stroking himself until he was hard. He worked her into a frenzy so exciting, her pulse pounded in her head. She gripped his hair in both hands and guided his head to her sweet spot. As his tongue flicked against her clit, his fingers worked her pussy. Her arousal built in a crescendo, and she arched her back, taking in all his hard work with a cry as she had the first of several orgasms. As one subsided, another erupted in its place. Her orgasms came and went in long, glorious waves until she finally collapsed beneath him.
Delighted, she laughed and pulled him to her until his head rested on her shoulder. She held him tight, never wanting to let him go. Far from finished, he turned over on his back and motioned for her to ride him.
His thick hair fanned out on the pillow as she sat astride him and slipped a condom over his erection. She guided him inside, rocking and bucking as her arousal once again peaked to the heights of bliss. She raked his shoulders with her fingernails as if digging into his flesh made him more real. Inhaling deeply, she took in his alluring scent. Her head spun with arousal, and her skin tingled with each stroke of his hand.
After she came yet again, he wrapped his arms around her and rolled her over onto her back. He thrust into her, deeper and harder with each stroke, and minutes after she came his orgasm exploded into her. Sweat from heat and lust coated their bodies in a soft patina.
They fell asleep in each other's arms as if they belonged together. In the morning, Alex awakened facing away from Jackson who spooned her, one arm draped around her waist, and his legs twisted in her own.

text: I thought 'Brokeback Mountain' was more shocking because it was about an affair, not just a homosexual relationship. Why discriminate against 2 women in a relationship but trying to make the family more normal by having babies with a man? Oh, is that it ?! Singapore allows a film as long as the kids are born in a hetero-sexual home, even if the father is having an affair (homosexual or not)!?!

Australian Prime Minister Congratulates Barack Obama After Historic Election Win
The US election is finally over and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has congratulated the winner Barack Obama:
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd today congratulated US President-elect Barack Obama on his victory saying he brought a message of hope to the world.
Minutes after watching Senator Obama's "extraordinary" speech, Mr Rudd lauded him as "a good man".
He would ring to congratulate him as soon as possible.
Mr Rudd said he looked forward to working with Senator Obama in the closest possible way.
"Australia looks forward to working in the closest possible partnership with an Obama administration, acting together to deal with the great common challenges we face," he said.
He said that the world relied even more on leadership from the US at the present time.
Mr Rudd said that in electing Senator Obama, the US had lived up to Martin Luther King's famous speech in which men and woman would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.
"Today what America has done is turn that dream into a reality," he said.
"His message of hope is not just for America's future but also for the world, a world which is now in many respects fearful for its future."
"It is a message of hope over fear.
"This is a great day for the American people."
Mr Rudd said the world looked for leadership on the global financial crisis, climate change and continuing challenges of security.
He said he would work closely to deal with the challenges of Iraq and Afghanistan. [The Mercury]
This is all nice and all but I found this at the end of his remarks to be totally unnecessary:
Mr Rudd said it was a matter for the Liberal Party to explain former Prime Minister John Howard's comment last year that terrorists would be hoping for an Obama win in the presidential election.
"It is a matter for the Liberals to explain to the Australian people and to make proper account to the Australian people," he said.
It was a historic election moment and PM Rudd couldn't resist the temptation to play politics with it.
Personally for me anyway, one of the good things about Obama being elected is that I shouldn't now have random people coming up to me and complaining about George Bush every time they hear my American accent. That was getting extremely annoying.

Thanks for the info steph. The internet made them sound really time intesive with all the cage cleaning which was making me nervous. I'm not known for being a good cage cleaner (thankfully hedgehogs are extremely clean). I plan to put him in a small room off the kitchen which is a catch-all room at the moment. I figure if he's not in a main room, the allergy issue will be moot.
Count your blessings!
Well, what I found helpful with the allergy thing was washing myslef after I handled them, it wasn't a serious reaction, though. Just a damp paper towel over any area that came in contact with them, and I'd be fine.
...And the strange boy continued to weave in and out of her life, leaving her with a sense of wonder and amazment, but also, a feeling of loss, knowing that life might never be the same again.
Izzy is adorable. My BIL has three Boston Terriers and just loves that breed.
Gutmutter, you're a great person to take in the guinea pig. I'm not a critter person myself. Hamsters always bit me (I have a scar on one finger still to this day) but maybe I was too rough with them (I was pretty young). But I won't even try to handle one now. I also had a pet mouse (from the pet store) when I was a kid but our cat took care of that. And my son left his iguana here when he went off to college and I had to find a new home for it because I just didn't want the responsibility. My brother has ferrets from rescue organizations but I don't think I could do that either. I've tried to have birds in the past but I'm somewhat allergic and they were too messy for my taste. I had a rabbit or two growing up but I don't particularly like rabbits now. At least I can say I tried other kinds of pets and now I know what I like. My preference is definitely dogs and cats!
I've always heard good things about guinea pigs though. Does it have a name?

Have you done your Green deed for the day?
I'm sure it does, but I can't think of it if I've heard it. My bird is a funny story if I haven't told it. When I moved into my house there was a crotchety old lady next door (I could tell STORIES about her!). When she had to go into a nursing home, she asked if I would take her 2 birds - a canary and a parakeet in seperate cages until she got home. The parakeet died after my son burned something in the oven and filled the room with smoke, so I got one that looked just like it from the pet store. Then eventually the canary died and I got another look-alike. Then the old lady died and I was stuck with two birds, neither of which was one of the originals. Now I have my 3rd parakeet and no canary. It loves the sound of the dishwasher being unloaded for some reason and will sing and chirp excitedly.
Count your blessings!
Well an update, not much of one but an update. AS I mentioned I took Mona off the Clavamox on Thursday because of the appetite loss and no poo poo. She did pick up a bit and went in to the Dr. for an xray of the lungs on Saturday. Those have remained unchanged. Her appetite is nowhere near normal but she is eating some food. She has lost a couple pounds which for her is not good. So I spoke to the Dr. today and I need to keep an eye out and call the Dr. back on Thursday and we will go from there. All her bloodwork is normal, all her fecal is normal it's just these two light areas on her lungs in the xrays. my next question to the Dr. will be how do we find out what these areas are? My step after that may be a second opinion..

Common Cause on Wednesday condemned the Treasury Department for using government resources and taxpayer money to promote President Bush's re-election bid and supported calls for an investigation into the matter.
"It's outrageous that a federal agency is pushing a partisan political agenda on the public," said Chellie Pingree, president of Common Cause. "We depend on federal agencies to be objective and unbiased and they should never become politicized. What's more, government employees shouldn't be put in the position of having to carry water for a presidential campaign."
The latest incident involves an April 9 Treasury Department press release reminding citizens to file their income taxes. The agency included the following sentence in the release: "America has a choice. It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation."
"Clearly the implication is that if you don't vote for President Bush, taxes will go up," Pingree said.
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) said he would ask the Treasury's inspector general to investigate. This isn't the first time Treasury has been charged with illegally using government workers for partisan political purposes. That IG's office is already considering whether to investigate a similar incident last month when Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) reportedly requested Treasury civil servants to prepare an analysis of a tax proposal similar to one by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA).
The analysis, posted on Treasury's website, concluded that such a proposal would mean a tax increase of $477 billion over 10 years for "hardworking individuals and married couples." The same day the analysis was posted, the Republican National Committee used the same numbers in literature to challenge Kerry's proposal.
What's more, the exact same language used on the Treasury April 9 press release promoting President Bush's election-year economic policies also appears simultaneously on both the websites of the White House and the Republican National Committee.
"This raises serious questions about the president using the White House and the Treasury Department as campaign tools," Pingree said. "When the GOP, Oval Office and Treasury Department websites are coordinated and interchangeable, you've got a serious problem."

Day 5, Speed
My blood rushes through my veins. Paws pounding on the soft earth. This feeling is like ecstasy. The rush the adrenaline. But it is not enough, I need to go faster, I need more speed. Trees whir beside me so fast I can't even see them anymore. The ground is moving so fast under my paws I feel almost like I'm flying. But still it isn't enough, I need to go even faster. This feeling in my body is like nothing I have ever experienced before, never have I gone this fast, never have I gotten the chance. Everything around me is a blur. I can't tell what's what anymore I am moving too fast for that, too fast for this world. I never thought I could move this fast, never though my body was capable of it. But still I must go even faster, I can't get enough of this feeling. The adrenaline pounds through my body and my speed increases even more but soon I feel it. The wane in my stamina, the end to this rush. I slow, I have to my body won't go that fast anymore it is tired, I am tired and I must rest.

Here's a few photos of a new Nerf Strongarm pistol I'm working on. These are just progress photos, but you'll hopefully get a feel for where its going, style-wise. (the carbon fiber vinyl on the cylinder is temporary for the photo)
This particular model has the full-rollout mod on the cylinder as well as the removal of both air restrictions. It's become a pretty powerful blaster with those minor changes. Final photos should be up soon and it is available for anyone interested!
Be Well,

Remember the Linnaean system of classification you probably learned in grade school or high school (heck, maybe even college)? It went something like this…
Kingdom -> Phylum -> Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus-> Species
Linnaeus started using this classification system in the 1700s and he had a good run; we still use his system in certain situations. However, we've moved away from this ranking system mostly because of the discovery of transitional fossils that screwed with Linnaeus's idea of neat little boxes for all of life to be categorized into. This system falls apart, for example when you have two equivalent ranks, let's say class Osteichtyes (boney fish) and class Amphibia (amphibians), and find a transition between the two.
In the case of our example, let's say we find a transitional fossil like Tiktaalik with both fish and amphibian characteristics. Now what? Does this thing belong to class Osteichtyes or class Amphibia? Which box do we put it into? For reasons like this, most modern evolutionary biologists prefer to organize species on a diagram called a cladogram. These take a little getting used to but once you understand them, they give a person a much better sense of how evolution is actually operating.
Cladograms are braching diagrams where each branch represents an evolutionary lineage.We put the names of specific taxa at the end of each branch and we put the names of groups to which those taxa belong at the intersection of branches (nodes). Check out the example below that uses mammals.
The diagram doesn't really have axes, but implied in the x direction is some sort of evolutionary distance from each other and implied in the y direction is relative time (the first branch at the bottom happened long ago the latter branches higher up happened more recently). This diagram tells you that all the animals listed are mammals (see the group name Mammalia at the bottommost node). The koala and kangaroo are more closely related to one another than to anything else on the diagram. Their branches intersect each other before they intersect any other lineage. This indicates that they diverged from each other more recently than they diverged from any of the other animals on the diagram. Furthermore, they both belong to the group Marsupialia. Similarly, the bat and the lion are more closely related to each other than they are to either of the marsupials. They are both placental mammals (eutherians).
Now lets try a slightly more complicated example…
Here we can see some interesting relationships. Notice you (assuming you are a human) are more closely related to a turtle than you are to a frog (you and the turtle are both amniotes, part of the group Amniota). Now, as you work your way down the diagram things start to really get interesting. The tuna is more closely related to humans than it is to sharks. Surprising right? I know what your thinking "Is that really true?" Sure it is. See the distance between the 'Vertebrata' node and the 'Osteichtyes' node? That distance is shared evolution between humans and tunas that sharks don't share (they've already branched off). Put another way, this means that tunas and humans have a few extra million years of evolution in common that tunas and sharks don't. The fact that sharks and tunas both live in the ocean and kinda look a lot alike doesn't count for all that much.
As long as we are examining this diagram notice that the Linnaean ranks we used before as equivalent, Osteichthyes and Amphibia, are certainly not equivalent on this diagram. Amphibia is contained within Osteichthyes. In fact all land dwelling vertebrates are within Osteichthyes (this is why some evolutionary biologists are fond of saying we're all 'fish').
Now finally, I'll show you where Tiktaalik fits on the cladogram. It's closer to being an amphibian than to being a tuna, but then again it's just as close to being human as it is to being an amphibian.

Computer Crashed! Bank account Manager help needed......
I am running Peachtree Classic Version 12. We moved from a windows 98 environment to Windows XP. My computer recently CRASHED!! So far I have restored by my system and reinstalled Peachtree.
Peachtree is running extremely slow and I am having a great deal of problem with the Bank Account Manager (BAM).
The backup and restore in Classic 12 is a major problem. The only way I have been able to backup is to drag and drop through explorer. Classic 12 will not recognize my other drives on the system in order for me to do a backup.
I have not been able to print anything from bank account manager even though my printer works fine with the other modules. I have a canon s300 bubble jet USB port. There is not USB option in BAM printer setup. Does anyone know a way around this or how I can fix it. Could I somehow get PRN to recognize the USB port?
Could someone be kind enough to help me out of this mess. I have had 6 days of down time and paid way to much to a techy, and I'm not totally out of the woods yet.
Any help I could get from the Peachtree users would certainly be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm a little confused here. As far as I know the Bank Account Manager still runs under DOS (v11). Is that right?
If that is correct, you should run it like if you are running PCA DOS v11 under XP: 80x25 Full Screen. Any other setup might result in problems. Check the Peachtree Knowledge Base for help with that or e-mail me in order to forward you the instructions.
Also, Turn off (or uninstall, if possible) all disk utilities programs and anti virus software.
In order to use a USB port to print share the printer and give you exclusive access. Then use the NET USE to map the shared printer on to machine's LPT port.
NET USE LPT1 mypcmyprinter /persistent:yes
This works under Win NT and 2000, and should work under XP too, but not with Win 9x/Me.
Finally, I have not used Peachtree Backup utility for years. I believe that backing up the data directories from Windows directly works a lot better and gives less trouble (you can perform automatic backups to wherever you want).
Please let me know if I can help you further.

Yes, Bank Account Manager runs under Dos (v11). I am not sure where to go to make it run like you are saying. Could you please send me instructions.
I will have to wait until Monday when I can get back in the office to try the NET USE trick.
Where would I find the backup utility in Windows XP? What I have done so far is drag and drop in explorer.
Thanks for answering. Hopefully I am on the road to computer recovery.
First, I want to tell you that I'm not sure if this works for you. I got this idea from the fact that BAM runs like Peachtree DOS v11. Since you got to do some tweaking on to XP in order to run PCA-DOS correctly, BAM might need those tweaks too.
Click Here for a link to the Peachtree Support Site. Since I cannot give you a direct link to the article, you got to register with peachtree in order to get access to the knowledge center (the Peachtree's problems/solutions database). When you login, put 547 on the Search Text box, select Answer ID from the Search By drop down menu and click search. The article must appear at bottom.
This article is written specifically for Peachtree DOS. But I have used to run other programs and it works. The only thing that's different is the program name: PCA.BAT. Just change the name to the BAM program's name. If it does not end with .BAT you may not find the same tabs, but you can click on the left-upper corner of the program window and select properties.
About the Windows Backup utility: Start->All Programs->Accesories->System Tools->Backup
If it does not shows up. Go to the Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs and the select Add/Remove Windows components, select Backup and install it.
The only thing you got to do now is to schedule backups from the Scheduled Task (same location as the Backup program) and program it to backup all your data folders: ej. C:\PCA\XXYYDATA, where XX is the company's two letter abreviation and YY is the module. Or maybe you only want to do those backups manually.
I will test the Net Use command on one of my XP computers to check if it works also (I have used it on 2000 and NT), and let you know.
If you need anything else, please let me know.

No luck so far
So far, I still have not had any luck printing from BAM. I am going to try your new suggestion at the office tomorrow. I'll let you know. Thanks.......
Let us know how it goes.
Maybe, I have some other tricks under my sleeve.

So Far....No Luck! I think BAM just doesn't like printers with USB ports. I am almost read to give up on it. Was unable to get to peachtree page in knowledge base you referred to earlier. I am still very much puzzled over the entire BAM printer saga......
Right now I have more important things to worry about with month-end, quarter-end, cash flow analysis, etc. BAM will have to go on the Back Burner for now. Thanks for all your input.

JEFFERSON TWP., Ohio (WDTN) – A Jefferson Township family cannot stay in their home tonight after a wall collapse in the basement of their home.
Firefighters were called to the 2600 block of Olt Road around 5:00 p.m.
Crews say the age of the house couldn't handle the saturated ground after all the rain.
They told the family they cannot stay in the house until surveyors inspect it and give the all-clear that it is safe.
No one was hurt.

View Departments PageView Degree Programs
Two graduate students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University received high rankings in the student paper competition at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 13th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF).
Jaeyoung Lee received the second best paper award and Juseok Bae's paper was ranked fourth in the student paper competition. Both are Ph.D. students under the advisement of Dr. Cam Nguyen.
Lee's paper, "A 13/24/35-GHz Concurrent Tri-band LNA with Feedback Notches," was co-written by Nguyen. In his paper, Lee describes a new concurrent tri-band LNA (TBLNA) operating around 13/24/35 GHz that has been designed using a novel tri-band load for stable and high stop-band rejection without additional area and power consumption. The proposed tri-band load is composed of two passive LC notch filters with feedback technique. The developed TBLNA is the first concurrent TBLNA implemented on chip working up to millimeter-wave frequencies.
Lee and Nguyen were co-authors on Bae's paper, "A 10–67-GHz CMOS Step Attenuator with Improved Flatness and Large Attenuation Range." In his paper, Bae said a four-bit CMOS step attenuator is designed using a new design method to achieve improved flatness, and large attenuation range from 10–67 GHz. The design method is based on the frequency-response characteristics and topologies of the conventional Pi-, T-, and distributed attenuators. Over broad frequency band 10–67 GHz, the simulated and measured results exhibit excellent attenuation flatness of and large attenuation range.
Lee was born in Yangyang, Gangwon-do, Korea, in 1976. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Kwangwoon University in Seoul, Korea. From 2009, he has been working towards the Ph.D. degree at Texas A&M. His research interests include analog, RF, microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and systems. From 2005 to 2008, he was with Integrant Technologies Inc., an analog devices company (now RAONTECH Inc.) in Seongnam, Korea, where he designed and developed various CMOS analog and RF integrated circuits for wireless communication and mobile TV systems. From 2008 to 2009, he was with Samsung Electronics in Suwon, Korea, where he designed CMOS RF and millimeter-wave integrated circuits for digital TV and 60-GHz wireless HD systems.
Bae was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1981. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electricity and electronic engineering from Soon Chun Hyang University in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. He is currently working toward his Ph.D. at Texas A&M and working at Texas A&M University at Qatar as a graduate research assistant. His research interests include CMOS/BICMOS integrated circuits and systems for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave applications.
Lee's and Bae's papers were among 10 finalists chosen at the SiRF student paper competition. The IEEE Topical Meetings on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems have been at the forefront of moving silicon technologies into microwave and millimeter-wave applications, a development now widely accepted and of great importance.

Sony A7 vs A7R: Part 1, Resolution
So how do the two new Sony A7 and A7R cameras compare?
These two Sony cameras are very similar on the outside, with nearly identical appearances. The only subtle difference is the small red R after A7. Even the straps are the same. Unfortunately Sony didn't decide to include a nicer strap for the A7R users (leather would have been nice).
This series will be a brief overview on the differences between the A7 and A7R, some subtle, some not so subtle. I will start with my thoughts on the differences after using the A7 for about 4000 pictures over 2 months and the A7R for just a few hours.
A7 Pros:
Electronic First Shutter Curtain
– Shorter EVF Blackout (very noticeable)
– Less Shutter Lag
1/250 Flash Sync Speed
PDAF Focus on Sensor
A7R Pros:
Higher Resolution (36 MP and no AA filter).
Better flare performance (filter stack flare, not lens flare)
Metal front panel (I find this very noticeable and much prefer A7R).
Better high ISO
Bottom Line:
These cameras feel very different and I will keep both. The A7R is definitely the better camera for landscapes and the sensor output at high ISO is nicer, but at the same time the A7 is clearly a better camera when you need less EVF blackout (moving subjects) and better flash performance. The shorter shutter lag means you don't get blinks as often in flash photography, and the E-First Curtain Shutter noise is noticeably less offensive. The PDAF really helps focus in bright light.
All shots at f/5.6. Here is a quick side by side comparison from both, using the Canon FDn 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2, 24mm f/2, 20mm f/2.8, and Cosina Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6.
A note about the shots, they are developed from RAW in Lightroom. Camera was set to A due to changing light conditions at ISO 100 and 2 second delay on a tripod. They were cropped to the same sensor area than resized to 600×400 pixels. The A7R were cropped to 601 pixels so are a 100% crop and the A7 shots to about 490 pixels wide, so they are enlarged to 600 pixels.
The settings were set to Daylight white balance, and "Sharpen Scenic" preset, along with "Remove Chromatic Aberrations" (removes lateral CA automatically). These are settings I regularly use, and it doesn't make sense to not use the lateral CA removal because it doesn't really cost you anything. It is easy to do in processing since it simply scales the different color layers to match. I mention this as straight out of camera you will see a lot of CA in the corners of the wide lenses.
The 20mm has a lot of field curvature that is still visible at f/5.6 (at f/11 it is fine), so for that reason I included a shot that is focused at the corner and at the center. If you focus mid field it will probably balance this out.
The corner shots are crops from near the corner, but not the most extreme corner.
I will insert a link to the Zenfolio gallery if you want to download full size original images. I will also upload some wide open and f/11 shots. F/8 to 11 is where I would primarily shoot with these lenses. Even though it is a tad less sharp than f/5.6, it flattens the field a bit and will act to serve as an AA filter as well to cut moire and the difference in resolution is very minor.
Full size shots: http://viking79.zenfolio.com/p970208003

It's not really a sucessor, they're continuing to sell the A7 and A7r along with the A7s, each has different features that will appeal to different users, for example the A7s has great low light potential but only half the Megapixels of the A7.
Why are the pictures sideways?!?

I just don't understand why at 555 ilvl you would need tips for Timeless Isle, and for only 500 coins at that. This is my personal opinion, and I usually help almost everyone, but the above questions seem to me like you should reroll another class to play because it is Timeless Isle. I was doing Timeless Isle at 390ish in Firelands gear.
* I was a fool and thought of regular coins!
Oh well shit happens.

1. Get Water Walking potions.
2. Sit by the Flight Master where all the AFK people land (you said you're on a big server).
3. Farm AFK people and low geared/HP people fighting stuff on the beach.
4. Use Water Walking potion to run out to flying mount area when they figure you out.
I would personally go Afflction. It's less discreet and you can just get a bunch of dots rolling while people are fighting shit and then they just... die.

I only play Demonology, but I think in open world PvP, your spec matters a lot less. Self-healing and mobility are pretty important, and if you plan on picking multiple fights with people at once, obviously DoTs are helpful. Unfortunately, I think Affliction has the best DoTs but the least survivability.
Also, maybe the people talking about Timeless Coins just thought the OP was British :P
(PPS: I think affliction is more discreet than other specs)
Prag is right. u want to get WW potions and be very sneaky.. like a rogue.. hide underwater mostly and wait till theres a lone person killing quest mobs/ or afk people then go in for the kill.. imo affliction is good if u make sure the ydont run away.. use curse of exhaustion glyphed if needed. and when u get found out be sure to run away. or turn off your buff. if u get friends to help u its even better but the more important thing is not getting caught.
get in a bloodcoin-farm groupe with destro specc and scumbag-execute everything
Sure I can read. My excuse is that it's late and I just skimmed, and forgot about the bloody coins.BLOODY coins
Are people on mmochamp able to read? At all?
Everyone makes mistakes.
Blood coins are awful to farm, the buffs help of course.
hah, well that's one way.get in a bloodcoin-farm groupe with destro specc and scumbag-execute everything
Also, are you still not guaranteed a coin from a kill ?
Last edited by Azutael; 2013-12-04 at 04:27 AM.
I just started this myself, figured it would be a nice thing to do when bored. While I've only used the item twice, I still have 50 bloody coins (average 25 coins pr death) so I'm doing alright I think. What I do is just run around the isle, on stormscale there's people everywhere. I never stay on one location for too long, otherwise they'll group up and I can only solo 3-6 people depending on their gear/skill. I pretty much wreck everything in destro, and I got engineering so I can get out of bad situations.
What's important is to have conflag glyph, that way you have a guaranteed slow. Considering most people rather run than fight you will need it. Also I'd say you should avoid glyphing eternal resolve, the silence immunity can be really convenient if multiple people choose to fight at once.
For talents I prefer Dark Regen, shadowfury, soul link, burning rush, grimoire of sacrifice and kil'jaeden's cunning.
Soul link + GoS = 20% bonus hp which will get you near 900k. People generally don't want to fight a dps with 900k hp so you'll get the intimidation factor. It also makes Dark Regen + Healthstone extremely efficient as well as your heals from embers. KJC is rather obvious as you'll need to be moving most of the time to chase people, burning rush also helps if they're mounted. Shadowfury is just a nice reliable stun which is always useful. Sacrifice void walker btw for the defensive cd, 1.2m hp and insane heals makes it really tough to get you down.
When fighting multiple opponents at once you should remember to havoc shadowburn whenever possible and throw some fears out. Try to move away from the nearest graveyard as those you just killed are likely to return for you if you stay close.
As a last tip I recommend using the item behind the graveyard with the guy with daily questions are. There's a nice crystal there to get you to nearly instant 100% and usually someone afk/weak in the graveyard to get a quick coin before moving on.
Hope this helps, enjoy your slaughtering of innocents. Remember to feed on their souls when you're done =)
jee all those players waiting hours looking for an elite mob coz other player can get the mob before him....Battle for mobs has just begun...

Justified Season Two Review
The first season of Justified contained numerous standalone episodes and seemingly unrelated storylines that neatly tied together in the end with an explosive gun fight in the hills of Harlan County. With elements of "the sins of the father will be visited upon the son" and sense of synchronicity in regards to events, the overarching narrative of that inaugural effort was almost Biblical in nature. The second season likewise exhibits a cohesive quality but more directly brings the events from the first episode full circle by the final installment, raising Justified to the levels of a Shakespearean drama rather than mere television.
"The playwright always insists on the operation of the doctrine of free will," scholar A.C. Bradley wrote in regards to the Bard and his tragedies. "The (anti) hero is always able to back out, to redeem himself. But, the author dictates, they must move unheedingly to their doom." The same observation holds true for the characters of Justified as many of them struggle with second chances and the opportunity to reinvent themselves in a better, more positive fashion. "Normally, I would have just shot you myself the second you pulled," Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) declares in the initial episode of season two in regards to his propensity of using his gun to resolve conflict. "But I am doing my level best to avoid the paperwork and the self-recrimination that comes with it."
Givens is not the only character to make such statements. "My outlaw ways are behind me," the ambiguous Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) tells the US Deputy Marshal early on. Criminal matriarch Mags Bennett (Margo Martindale), the main antagonist of the season, makes a similar comment after securing financial security from a land deal. Despite such proclamations, however, all three ultimately reject the second chances lying in front of them and instead embrace the ways they have struggled to move past.
"It's what I do, it's who I am," Boyd Crowder inevitably realizes when he returns to his illegal ways, while Mags Bennett reaches a similar conclusion. "I don't know who I was kidding," she openly acknowledges by season end. "This is where I belong."
Even Raylan Givens feels the pull of fate tugging at his boot straps. "This is who we are," he explains to a begging-for-his-life Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies) in the darkened woods of Kentucky. "This is who we've always been." While Givens backs away from his need for blood vengeance against the murderous Dickie in the end, the seeds of torment in regards to what kind of man he is continue to grow. The Deputy Marshal's direct supervisor Art Mullen (Nick Searcy)—who also serves as a surrogate father to the wayward Givens—in effect disowns him during season two of Justified when he remarks, "I'm stuck with a man who's a lousy marshal but a good lawman." Raylan Givens, after all, is not a US Marshal in the modern day sense but a throwback to the Old West and its penchant for personal justice over the rule of law.
"I have no moral objection to you killing her," Givens tells Boyd Crowder when he threatens to kill a gun thug from a Miami cartel in the first episode of the season. In the final episode, meanwhile, he exhibits no qualms about leaving Dickie Bennett alone with Crowder as he calmly states, "I didn't pull the trigger but I'll sleep like a baby knowing he will." It is a belief system that may indeed be in line with the lawmen of the past, as Art Mullen suggested, but obviously not one for a Twenty First Century US Marshal.
Although the writers on Justified have not embraced the iambic pentameter style of William Shakespeare, the episodes of the FX drama sparkle with crisp, intelligent and memorable dialogue that is equally worthy of the Bard. While the final episode brings all the elements of the season full circle and to a satisfactory conclusion with plenty of action and bloodshed, the installment immediately beforehand packed a deeper and more intense emotional punch without a single bullet being fired. With what basically amounted to a series of interlocking conversations as Raylan Givens tracked down Dickie Bennett, Justified demonstrated that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword with a truly powerful episode of television.
The second season of Justified was more than mere Shakespearean tragedy, however, as a "cool-stylish-hip" form of comedy runs through the veins of each installment just as much as the drama. And when the character of Raylan Givens is further tested upon learning that his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea)—with whom he has recently been romantically reunited—has stupidly pilfered $200,000 from a court house evidence locker, the US Marshal assists in returning the money in true screwball comedy fashion as a high profile trial, an impatient judge and a bomb threat all unwittingly conspire to prevent the plan from reaching fruition.
Considering the amount of blood spilled in Harlan County, as well as the internal conflict of the characters in regards to fate and destiny, the sophomore effort of Justified actually began quietly with the abduction of a 14-year-old girl (Kaitlyn Dever) by a convicted sexual predator. That action, however, inevitably set in motion the events of the overarching storyline of the season. Mags Bennett, for instance, kills the young Loretta McCready's widowed father in the first episode in order to both protect and raise the girl herself, while Raylan Givens risks losing Winona forever in the final episode in order to save the strong-willed teenager. The narrative comes full circle in the end with the same poisoned glass of homemade "apple pie" moonshine that Mags used on the elder McCready and one final death before the screen turns to black.
Although their journeys do not directly relate to those of Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet and other protagonists within the works of William Shakespeare, the characters of Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder and Mags Bennett—along with numerous others from the second season of Justified— still embody the same elements of a classical tragedy. Revenge, greed, the hunger for power and pull of fate all play a role on the FX drama as much as family and identity. It may be television and not the stage, but Justified has reached Shakespearean heights nonetheless.

This is the perfect opportunity for me to meet your parents and other key people in your lives. The rehearsal dinner kicks off the celebration and you can add these moments to your wedding story. If you don't need rehearsal coverage, you could use this additional photography time for your dress fitting, additional hours on wedding day or wherever you would like additional coverage. I like to know as much as I can about the locations your event will be taking place, so with your permission I'd like to get in touch with the venues and/or anyone directly handling the organizing of the wedding to ask a few photography specific questions. I will scout the locations of the ceremony, reception and portraiture sessions in advance when possible and communicate suggestions regarding setup and photography locations.
For those hiring us for the entire day in a Comprehensive Collection, your wedding day will be on record from the time you start getting ready for your ceremony. There are actually many small but significant details and memories captured during the early hours, and you're pleased to have these images for years to come. Getting ready involves your closest friends and family and having these pictures reminds you of the anticipation, and all of the joy and excitement of the wedding day - and none of the stressful parts. Because you have two photographers, two unique points of view are captured seamlessly throughout your ceremony. I work with a second photographer on your wedding day who will help me cover areas that I cannot possibly cover as an individual. The second photographer, if not my fiancee Michele, will surely be chosen for a compatibility with my photographic style and work ethic.
The reality of wedding photography is that--although many photographers say something about their photography style as it applies to weddings, i.e. photojournalism, it's hard to imagine what other option one largely has! It is quite a task to shoot an event where there are sometimes hundreds of guests, and so, one can't ( or shouldn't) decidedly choose to shoot an entirely " traditionally" posed subject wedding event. If anyone offers this, beware. However, nor should a photographer decide to shoot a wedding entirely photojournalistically. The former will be a sure route to irritation and prevention of your enjoyment of the wedding whenever you're asked to pose just "so" in every photo. On the other hand, the purely candid "photojournalistic" style of shooting will often miss out on some of the very important relationships and interactions that a bride and groom will NEED and appreciate having been posed for, such as shots with relatives rarely photographed together.
Photographers that advertise photojournalistic styles are probably either too shy or uncomfortable with having to direct people in creating a photograph. It is important to have a photographer with an eye for posing and able to make you look great when you're supposed to!
I believe in the value of both the traditional and photojournalisitic approach, but since it's obvious, at least to me, that the best of both worlds will be desired by the couple, you can expect a mix of creatively posed shots, where you get to look your best in front of the camera, and of course, I'll be stealing moments blending into the background.
Shortly after the wedding day, you are presented with your final images via an online gallery.You're ecstatic to be able to relive the day moment by moment. Your joy is compounded even more because you see pictures that highlight moments that were happening throughout the day that you never witnessed! This edited group of pictures showcases your favorite people looking their best and reflects the essence of the day. While the online presentation is easy to share with all who attended, and even with those who were not able to attend, you also will receive your precious memories in an album, a set of prints, or on a DVD ( All three in my Comprehensive collection).
Immediately upon seeing your wedding photography, you'll have a print order credit to use right away. The credit is a way that you can order some of your favorite pictures immediately or can be applied towards custom made thank you cards, depicting one of favorite images along with a special personalized message. And of course a way to treasure your wedding memories... Your wedding album becomes a physical container of the memories of your special day. You and your spouse will revisit your wedding album throughout your marriage, reflecting on the candid moments and the bliss captured between its pages.

Best-selling author Hal Lindsey explains how, on September 11, an ancient fight-to-the-death conflict exploded on the shores of the U.S. Though most Americans didn't realize it, we were already involved in this struggle. A struggle driven by a hatred that goes back over 4,000 years. Islamic fundamentalism's purpose is to replace the JudeoChristian world order with an Islamic world order. Every American needs to understand the enormity of the threat we face and why.
In the aftermath of 9/11 most Americans are asking:

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"The everlasting hatred Excellent "
Content and subject excellent
Very good audio. Covered subject of why Islam is a never ending hatred of
Christians and Jews. Why Islam will never Accept democracy
"Cut past the rhetoric of today's media/world view!"
Well done documenting the history while debunking the myths that have plagued us from the madrassa's of the world view! Well done, well worth the listen. Takes notes for future reference!
"Great historical insight on Muslims"
Good read and narrator did nice job. I highly recommend. Everyone should read this for truth about the nation of Israel.
"I will buy a hard copy now for reference, great listen!"
This book starts at the beginning, Genesis, goes straight thru to Revelations, and shows how the worlds people have proven prophecy by our actions, and will continue to do so to the return of Jesus. You will either love the content for deeper understanding or hate it because of denial, (of Gods Word) but either way, you will get the real story! Thank you, Hal Lindsey, for being a watchmen on the wall and sharing what you learn! This gives me more confident understanding and peace to keep fighting the good fight of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Don't Judge a Book by Its Title"
This book would be enjoyed by the Fundamentalist Christians who follow Hal Lindsey.
I wouldn't have purchased this book had I known that it was written from a purely Fundamentalist perspective. The title doesn't reveal that.
N/A. He mispronounced a good number of words - repeatedly. I don't know if he was told to read that way or if the editing was poor.
Chapters 12 and 13 were irrelevant to the "title" subject.
I feel conned by the author. I was expecting something more scholarly based on the title and sound bite.

Not sure if he would sign on that easily but Jackson is notorious for playing with sfx (something he would have fun doing with "Transformers" working with ILM and maybe even bringing WETA on board) and he is working with Spielberg on "The Adventures of Tin Tin" so there's a connection right there.
Spielberg as a producer doesn't have to look far if he needs to get a new director for the third film.
Weta's Evangelion project looked kickass. I really hope they can get a studio to pick it up someday, because NGE is my favorite anime series and one of my favorite TV shows period. It's pretty much tied with Superman in the "movie projects I want to escape from development hell" category.
Anyway, I'm not sure if Peter Jackson would do Transformers 3. The guy is pretty busy, and I honestly don't see him picking up where another director left off. And given that there's like
a lot
of creative differences between Jackson and Bay, I wouldn't count on a very strong sense of continuity since he'll probably want to change things to his own tastes.
Personally, Louis Leterrier would be my first choice. He's just as capable of balls-to-the-wall action scenes as Michael Bay (including chaotic car chases, as seen in The Transporter), and in The Incredible Hulk showed that he can put together a cool monster fight scene. If the goal is to maintain continuity with the first two movies will injecting a bit of new flavor, I think Leterrier would be the most logical choice.

For the 78 million American adults who are obese and may be ready to lose a significant amount of weight, a new study has some advice: Don't go it alone.
The study was conducted with a grant from Weight Watchers International and carried out, in part, by weight-management experts at Baylor College of Medicine. In a group of 292 participants, the roughly half who were enrolled in Weight Watchers were more than eight times likelier to lose 5 percent of their body weight over six months than were those who were sent on their weight-loss journey armed with a packet of printed materials on dietary and exercise guidelines for safe weight loss.
The Weight Watchers group was 8.8 times more likely than those assigned to the "go-it-alone" group to lose 10 percent of their body weight by the end of six months. At six months, the subjects who were randomly assigned to participate in Weight Watchers lost an average of 10.1 pounds; those sent home with self-help materials lost on average 1.3 pounds.
The research, published this month in the American Journal of Medicine, might well be dismissed as a marketing ploy for the U.S. weight-loss giant. But its findings cast light on the complexity of behavior change on a scale necessary to lose "clinically significant" amounts of weight — that is, enough weight to positively affect obesity-related conditions such as joint pain, high blood pressure and worsening metabolic function.
The study suggests that although it takes a variety of tools to inform, encourage and reward people trying to lose weight, there is no substitute for the power of social support of a group engaged in a common goal.
In a separate analysis of the weight loss achieved by those in the Weight Watchers group, researchers found that those who lost the most weight were the ones who most intensively used the resources provided by Weight Watchers — the meetings, the Web-based tools available on mobile devices and home computers, and the community message and discussion boards.
The single best predictor of which participants would lose the most weight, however, was attendance at group meetings, at which veteran Weight Watchers members, who have achieved and maintained a healthy body weight, led a discussion about weight-loss skills. Among participants randomly assigned to the Weight Watchers group, those whose meeting attendance fell in the upper half of the range were 11.2 and 15.5 times more likely to lose 5 percent and 10 percent of their body weight at six months, respectively, than those whose meeting attendance fell in the bottom half of the group.
"It's one of the harder changes people make in their lives, to lose weight, and we're social animals," said Baylor School of Medicine psychologist Craig A. Johnston, the lead author of the study. "Being around people who can encourage and reinforce you — people who are talking about that challenge — is going to help in terms of weight loss."
Those who used all three Weight Watchers services over the six-month study period lost, on average, 19 pounds. Those who routinely used one or two of those resources lost on average 9.3 and 9.5 pounds, respectively.
The synergistic effects of those tools surprised even Karen Miller-Kovach, Weight Watchers International's chief scientific officer.
"Truly, weight loss is a journey, and how that person experiences it and what tool is most useful at what time changes," said Miller-Kovach.

A few news items which are salient as this saga continues:
1. Home Capital announced a HISA balance of CAD$521 on Friday, April 28 and a GIC balance of $12.97 billion. On May 1, this is $391 million and $12.86 billion, respectively (another $220 million gone in a day). Their stock is down 21% as I write this.
2. Equitable announced their quarterly earnings and are up 35%. This was a pre-announcement as they previously stated they would announce on May 11, 2017. They announced:
* A dividend increase.
Between Wednesday and Friday, we had average daily net deposit outflows of $75 million, with the total over that period representing only 2.4% of our total deposit base and with the most significant daily outflows being on the Wednesday. Even after those outflows, our portfolio of liquid assets remained at approximately $1 billion.
Obtained a letter of commitment for a two-year, $2.0 billion secured backstop funding facility from a syndicate of Canadian banks, including The Toronto-Dominion Bank, CIBC, and National Bank ("the Banks"). The terms of the facility include a 0.75% commitment fee, a 0.50% standby charge on any unused portion of the facility, and an interest rate on the drawn portion of the facility equal to the Banks' cost of funds plus 1.25%. This interest rate is approximately 60 basis points over our GIC costs and competitive with the spreads on our most recent deposit note issuance, and as such will allow us to continue growing profitably.
So their credit facility cost $15 million to secure $2 billion (relative to $100 million for HCG), lasts two years (relative to 1 year for HCG), and also have a standby charge of 0.5% (which is 2.0% less than HCG), and a real rate of interest of approximately 3% (compared to HCG paying 10% for their outstanding amount, and I'm assuming the Bank's "cost of funds plus 1.25%" works out to around 3%).
I haven't had a chance to review their financial statements in detail yet. But securing two billion on relatively cheap terms like this is going to be a huge boost to their stock in the short run.
Very interesting.
Genworth MI (TSX: MIC) is also down a dollar or 3.5% today, which is more than the usual white noise of trading. It dipped even lower today.

Windermere Overview
Windermere, and its nearby neighbour Bowness on Windermere are situated at the southern end of the English Lake District, Cumbria. Windermere the lake, on the shore of which both towns lie is the largest lake in the England.
Lake Windermere is the only lake in the Lake District which allows the use of motorised boats, and this possibly explains why it's one of the busiest towns in the area, with many pubs, shops and restaurants to occupy a variety of tastes. The town is probably the most popular with day trippers and has a much more 'touristy' feel than some of the other nearby towns.
Windermere is also one of the very few towns in the region that is serviced by a train station and is therefore the starting point for many visitors arriving by this means.
If the weather is good, Windermere is a picture perfect English countryside town, however, due to where it's situated in the UK, this seldom happens. None the less a beautiful tourist hotspot and a must see to any who venture to the North of England.

Why would The Hunger Games be considered a classic in the future?
- print Print
- list Cite
The Hunger Games definitely has the potential to be a future classic. Like 1984 or Brave New World, Collins' dystopian novel features the best and worst aspects of society. The book has enormous appeal in its taut, suspenseful plot, relevant themes, and rich characterization, all of which make The Hunger Games worthy of being a classic.
One of the best features of this novel is that its themes and characterization are well-developed and multi-dimensional, which open the novel for many possible discussion points and inquiry. This novel has enormous potential for being taught in the classroom--not just for its high-interest appeal to students, but because the students could engage many literary devices and literary criticism through the context of The Hunger Games.
This could be considered a classic because of its dystopian view and how prolific the message is. This shows a multitude of emotions and different plot twists and explains the harshest troubles anyone could ever go through to keep their family safe as well as heart wrenching passages so it can definitely have potential to be a classic.
It shows an aray of emotions and can shows that you must live every moment as your last. It explains sacrafice, poverty, death, sorrow and friendship. It explains why love is important and what a family would go through to keep each other safe.
In my opinion The Hunger Games will be considered, if it will, a classic, because of its crash between the different societies. The crash between the rich and the poor and how this, is reflected in the young society that will be the future of each district.
It also shows standars of life and death that can be considered important in a moment of hessitation or doubt. In a moment, one moment, that can change your life forever.
