Ensuring a Safe Trip on Your Boat or Yacht
The name of the game when it comes to boating is safety, and as the captain of your yacht or boat, you have to be responsible for the safety of every passenger on every trip out to sea. Here are a few things to consider to make certain that each trip on the water is as safe as possible.
1. Boating Safety Equipment – The best investment that you are going to make concerning your boat is the safety equipment. This means you must have enough life jackets on board for every passenger including yourself. There needs to be a satellite radio or phone on board that can reach help in the even you are stranded or you are involved in an accident. Always check to see all your radios or phones are charged before leaving the safety of the docks.
2. Topping Off the Boat – Nothing is more dangerous than being miles out to see and finding out you are low on fuel. The fuel station you thought was nearby is closed or out of fuel, and now you are in a very dangerous situation as you drive around looking for gas/diesel . Eliminate this situation by topping off the tank before you leave the marina.
3. Charting Your Course – Knowing where you will be going today will allow you to leave word on shore with someone who could contact authorities in case you are not back when you said you would be. If you are stranded out at sea unable to contact the shore, help might take days to pinpoint your location. Leaving word with a family member on shore will narrow down the search dramatically.
4. Boating School – As much as you think you know about boat safety, you could stand to learn so much more. Attending boating school will put you in touch with professionals who have see all those nightmare scenarios out at sea and can prepare you to take charge and get everyone back to the shore safely. This is one of those investments that will pay for itself the first time you experience trouble and your quick thinking saves the day.
These boat safety tips are mostly common sense, but when you have visions of getting out on the waters and just leaving all your worries behind, you tend to make mistakes. Keeping a safety checklist handy before you leave the dock will ensure everyone on each trip is safe and has the best time.

September 19, 2012 Quigley Factory Tour
I love my Quigley 4×4 van! I spent a long time trying to find a Ford van with the Quigley 4×4 and 7.3L diesel engine for a reasonable price. In the end I purchased a high mileage, 236,700 miles on the odometer, one owner '02 Ford E350 EB Sportsmobile that met my needs.The Quigley system uses mostly factory OEM parts and retains the rear leaf and front coil suspension setup. This makes the van easy to service at any Ford dealership and ride really smooth on the road for everyday use. With almost a year of travels under my ownership and LOTS of highway miles with some quality off-road excursions the Quigley system has been good to me. With the high mileage of the van I have needed to replace quite a few parts in the drive line, but that is to be expected with a heavy high-mileage rig. Quigley has been easy to work with and seems to have very reasonable prices for their stocked parts.
I was recently on the East coast for some events (ECSC, Gauley Fest & VA Overland Rally) and managed to squeeze in a visit to the Quigley factory in Manchester, PA. I first want to say that these guys and gals LOVE what they do and love to share that passion with their customers. The hospitality was amazing as I got a full tour of the facilities, was introduced to many of the key employees and was surprised with a quick diagnostic checkup on the 4×4 system on my van. After checking the alignment, torqing some loose bolts and weighing each corner of the van my rig got a good bill of health. I won't mention how much the rig weights, but lets just say it needs to go on a bit of a diet!
'11 was best year in Quigley's history despite the down economy. Orders from overseas, government agencies, utilities and businesses that need the safety and capabilities of a full size 4×4 van are what keep Quigley busy. As a third generation private family business that has been building 4×4 systems for full size vans since 1974 Quigley has made a name for themselves through design excellence and quality. The company does 4×4 conversions for Ford, GM and just recently Nissan full size vans. As the Ford E series is phased out over the next year or so and the new Transit is introduced Quigley will be building a 4×4 conversion for this new entrant into the North American market as well.
Quigley also does some really cool special projects for customers. One recent project was a large order for 4×4 vans for the Antarctic. Because the vans had to have such huge tires they required rear full floating axles to handle all that spin weight. Quigley normally ONLY offers the factory semi-floating rear axles on their vans, but with a big enough order and for the right price they can accommodate almost any customers needs.
I'm looking forward to many more on and off-road miles in my Quigley 4×4 van. The 4×4 system has already gotten me out of many muddy, snowy and sandy situations. It really is amazing the capabilities that a 10,000 lb van has off-road! Many more off-road excursions are "just a shift away" in the Exploring Elements Sportsmobile:)

Avoid 40 weeks of frump with these tips from style expert Amy Tara Koch, author of Bump It Up: Transform Your Pregnancy Into the Ultimate Style Statement.
The Basics—Part 1
Start with neutrals. Your (mostly black) basics can be mixed and matched to work for anything from a cocktail party to a trip to Wal-Mart. Must haves? A super-long black Lycra tank top is a must-have layering piece for jeans and skirts. The longer bump-enhancing tanks are chic on their own and allow you to wear cropped sweaters and jackets. Add black leggings for the perfect slimming foil for a voluminous top or dress.
The Basics—Part 2
1) Dark denim pregnancy jeans are key. Dress them up with heels and boots or slip on ballet flats. 2) Soft, jewel-neck, to-the-thigh tees in white and black can be worn alone or layered. 3) The empire dress—the shape accentuates the rib cage and disguises bottom heaviness. And don't forget a basic black jersey bias-cut dress; a stretchy, black, maternity pencil skirt; and above-the knee shifts are cute, comfy, and au courant.
Bling It On!
Baubles make a basic outfit pop. Eclectic accents—Indian bangles, a chain belt, cool Tibetan pendants—add a provocative element to your look. A chocolate wrap dress becomes an It-girl ensemble with onyx beads, a knuckle duster of a cocktail ring, fish nets over opaque tights, and black boots. Jewelry should mirror the bravado of your bump. Bold baubles—cuff bracelets, chandelier earrings—amplify your style quotient.
Nothing "frumpifies" more than lack of proportion. Some guidelines: 1) If it's big on top, it should be narrow on bottom. 2) If it's narrow on top, add some volume with a skirt or wide-legged pant. 3) Dresses should be above-the-knee or sweeping the ground to elongate the body. 4) Legs are slimmed with black tights and a boot or heels. 5) Big blouses are countered with fitted skirts or tapered trousers. 6) Tailoring is critical.
Get High!
A heel visually lengthens your silhouette and, in turn, balances out your tummy-enhanced proportion. You don't need 5-inch Carrie Bradshaw stilettos. But, with the watermelon in your belly, a little height will balance out the bulge, elongate your body, and add that soupçon of glamour that transforms dumpy into diva. You will have the most stability with mid-range stacked heels, wedges, and kitten heels.
From Innerwear to Ready-to-Wear
Roomy black satin slips make comfy chic dresses. Long, bias-cut nighties—especially those with interesting swirls of color or prints—make glam cocktail frocks. Little Pucci-esque robes can be belted and worn with a heel. How to get the look? Make a pit stop at some of your chic relatives' homes and mine their lingerie drawers. Nab gauzy nightgowns, caftans, "bed jackets," and slips. Flea markets and vintage shops are nightgown nirvana!
Viva la Vintage!
Nothing says "wow!" like an unidentifiable retro accent. Accessories are an inexpensive entry point to vintage. A quirky woven leather and gold belt gives shape to drapey silhouettes. A huge tribal medallion adds panache to a dark caftan. Sleek old school logo belts—think Dior and Gucci from the 70s—are a whimsical under-the-bump flourish. Ethnic touches—Indian bangles, wooden cuffs—are unadulterated global glitz.
The Empire Strikes Back!
Start your love affair with the empire waist. This genius silhouette gathers under the breast and falls loosely to the hip, knee, or floor, covering bulging bellies and butts with cascading fabric. The empire waist also put the focus on the arms and shoulders, places where pregnancy weight does not manifest itself.
Get Waisted!
Aside from being decorative, belts are a functional style element that deliver the illusion of a waistline. A flashy belt below the belly is a way to draw attention to your bump and away from other areas that you may not be so fond of at the moment. A stretchy belt can be used below the bra line to create an empire waist. And a thin leather belt can be added over a cardigan to add polish.
Scarves and Shawls
Scarves are the ultimate layering piece. During the first trimester, these they camouflage a bulging belly. For trimesters 2 and 3, drapey scarves deliver verticality to the somewhat stumpy pregnant silhouette. A silky scarf delivers insta-cool and adds verticality. For the office, work a 60s graphic into the look so that it peeks out from inside a slouchy jacket or cardigan. A colorful fringed scarf adds a daring Gypsy element to a black dress.

If you don't think you like butternut squash, try this recipe. It will make a believer out of you. I personally love butternut squash but this soup made me love it even more. My sister made it for a party and I seriously think I ate 3 bowls. What, the whole pot wasn't just for me? Oops. Her version calls for roasting the squash first and uses evaporated milk instead of cream so pick your poison.
This soup is so silky, almost fluffy if that's possible. It has such a complex flavor; the other vegetables really help to enhance the flavor of the squash. The nutmeg and cayenne pepper add just enough spice to round out the dish. It's very filling and not entirely bad for you…so go ahead and make some! You won't regret it. Matilda even loved it! I spooned up big bowlfuls with homemade rosemary parmesan focaccia on the side…but that's another recipe for another time.
butternut squash soup
serves 6
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 butternut squash (2-3 lbs, peeled and seeds removed), cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- nutmeg, to taste
- cayenne pepper, to taste
Heat the oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery and onion. Saute until vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in butternut squash, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low, simmering for about 25-30 minutes, or until squash is fork-tender. Stir in heavy cream.
Puree the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender; if using a regular blender allow soup to cool slightly first. Once you have achieved a smooth and silky texture add in the nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Start with just a dash of each; you don't want them to be too overpowering.
Serve with a dusting of nutmeg on the top!

Grilled Peach and Apricot Salad
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: A grilled stonefruit salad for the summer: explosively juicy, still-hot peaches and apricots meet abstemious kale, with feta and prosciutto on the edge of the conversation. —Nicholas Day
Serves 4
- 1 bunch kale, destemmed
- 4 apricots, halved
- 4 peaches, halved
- 1/4 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced.
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Preheat the grill. While it warms up, tear or chop the kale leaves into bite-size pieces and place those in a large salad bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil and massage the kale, kneading it for a minute or so until it softens. Whisk together the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, adjusting to your taste. Set the dressing aside. Tear or cut the prosciutto into smaller pieces and set those aside too.
- When the grill is reasonably but not overwhelming hot, brush the apricots and peaches very lightly with a neutral oil and grill, cut side down, until deeply caramelized.
- When the fruit is grilled, toss the kale with the prepared dressing and then crumble the feta on top. Add the prosciutto and then the still-hot peaches and apricots, letting their juices seep down into the kale. (If there are any extra juices on the plate you put them on after grilling, add those too.) Eat with crusty bread.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Call (888) 651-9785
Excellent tour, guide BK was enthusiastic and keen to please. We saw and fed the monkeys . He got us to front of queue so minimal waiting fir the cruise, saw loads of fireflies. He also took us to a temple on the way back which was spectacular. Food good
Loved every second, monkeys were the best part!
Was a very nice experience. Absolutely loved the experience. Buffet dinner offered was awesome too. Highly recommended.
Great Experience
This was the best of our adventures in KL. The photos and videos we took would not do justice to the sight we had. The driver was great - good English and a good sense of humour mixed with excellent knowledge of the surroundings. The dinner was plentiful and a lot better than I expected after reading some of these reviews here - so at the very least they have improved their service. We travelled as family of 6 with wife, adult kids and a partner. We all agree this was the best of our holidays.
ar2 Australia
Another amazing tour. This was a shared tour where we met gorgeous people from around the world.
The experience of feeding and having a monkey sit on my shoulder will stay with me forever. What an amazing day! And then the serenity of the night in a boat looking at the wonders of fireflies. Amazing
Excellent tour. Not only saw fireflies which is extremely unique, but also fed, monkeys and eagles and saw lots of wildlife in natural habitat.
The Fireflies Boat Ride trip from Kuala Lumpur did not disappoint. Having asked the Concierge to phone the travel company on the ground to confirm our trip we were told the exact time of pick up. We were then picked up at our hotel on time. The driver was our guide also - a very good knowledgeable and informative guide, with patience for any questions the tourists threw at him. On our way to Selangor we stopped at a place to see and feed little monkies on the road. That was good fun! On arrival for our boat ride we were taken to a local restaurant for our dinner, which was very tasty, as sundown approached. Then it was time for the highlight of the evening - first we were each given a life jacket for the boat trip. Then the magic happened! Our oarsman rowed us across the river to the mangroves where the fireflies were congregated. You couldn't see the actual flies, only the fire bit. It was like Christmas trees with tiny twinkling lights all over - in the dark. Pure magic! That alone would have made the trip, but both the scenery, and the other attractions on the way made it one great evening. A trip to remember! Thanks Viator
Excellent trip would recommend it to anyone
sian682 Australia
We had a lovely afternoon and evening. Dinner was good. It was raining gently, we were supplied with umbrellas and gorgeous little fire flys lighting up the trees. Amazing.
This tour didn't start very well as an hour after were to be picked up we were still sitting in our hotel lobby. We asked the hotel staff to call our contact information we had from our Voucher and were told the driver went to the wrong hotel and had picked up all his guests and has already left the City. With that we were asked to hold on.
Fifteen minutes later we were told someone else is coming to pick us up.
Admittedly an hour and a half after we were supposed to be picked up my wife and I were not very happy.
We got picked up and were told we were going to be driven out to Selangor to meet up with the other group which I expressed an issue with, meeting up with them means we will have missed the first two hours of the tour. The driver made some phone calls and as we don't understand the language I assume quick change of plans were made. We were driven to the palace instead where we picked up Arul, a tour guide who would ultimately accompany us on the evening trip.
We figured out through listening during the drive and asking some questions that the gentleman who finally picked us up is a Supervisor with the tour Company and he had already worked the day, as had Arul who had just got home from a previous tour and was about to have his dinner.
We were driven to a personal home over 100 years old and built without a single nail, for both my wife and I this was a highlight. We saw the old fort and had plenty of time to spend feeding the monkeys, enjoyed an incredible meal and the firelies experience was something I'll never forget. Arul was very personable, professional and knowledgable and along with the Supervisor gentleman turned a very negative experience into an amazing evening. We didn't feel rushed and feel very satisifed with the was the evening turned out. The Tour Company sub contracted for this tour from Viotor was ASIAN OVERLAND - make sure you use this Company whenever possible. They will make it right and ensure you're happy!
Excellent. Our guide put every effort into making sure we had a good time. Dinner was great!
Guide/Driver was excellent. Very interesting and good value. Did exactly what it said on the tin.
Even though we had rain fall the entire day, the food and the tour were worth seeing and the time with others from other countries around the world was priceless. Be prepared for a seven hour day by the time they pick you up from the hotel to the time you get back.
One of the best excursions. Great value for money. Very romantic for couples. 9/10.
A day trip to Kuala Selangor was made most enjoyable all, due once again to the tour guide,this time it was Gobi who kept my wife and I and a second couple enterained. A stopover at an Indian temple and on to Bukit Melewati to visit the historic lighthouse and spend an enjoyable 45 minutes being entertained by the Silver Leaf monkey's that reside there, very enjoyable. Unfortunately,and to the disappointment of our tour guide heavy rain prevented us from enjoying the Fire Flies but Gobi made up for this with an informative commentary throughout,thank you Gobi for an enjoyable day out.
Victoria and Wayne NSW Australia
The monkeys were hands-down the highlight of this tour. The food was good. As for the fireflies, make sure you have your special someone with you as it's quite romantic to witness.
Loved the silver leaf monkeys and the fireflies were romantic :)
Was a great trip and the guide was brilliant, knowledgable and funny
It was great and up to my expectations.
Great trip especially the Fireflies experience which was outstanding.
Ali_Hawk Australia
This is a really good tour. There is a two hour bus journey from KL to Kuala Selangor, but once you get there, there is a lot to see, not just the fireflies. Kuala Selangor is a nice place, the Butik Melawati has a great view of the Straits of Malacca and the lookout has a great view. The river is lovely. You will have dinner at the riverside then go to the Fireflies Resort, which is marvellous. It is so peaceful and really enjoyble - the silence is lovely. Then you can rest while the bus brings you back to KL. It's a great trip.
vety nice amazing
Excellent guide was a star very knowledgeable the extra stops on way via monkeys and chocolate factory was a bonus. The fireflies were just amazing overall a truly exceptional experience we will do this again for sure
Dwsewell1 USA
Nice seafood dinner and boat ride. And loved feeding the monkeys too. Lots of fun.

Light Snow
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. - The judge in the Colorado theater shootings case has told a doctor not to video-record the second sanity evaluation of defendant James Holmes, at least until a hearing on the matter.
The judge issued the order after defense attorneys objected to the planned video recording. The judge plans a hearing this week, but hasn't set a date.
The state mental hospital has said the doctor routinely video-records his examinations but didn't say why. He offered to withhold the video from both sides.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people in the July 2012 attack. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The trial date has been delayed pending this second sanity evaluation.
Holmes underwent a mandatory sanity evaluation last summer, but according to court documents, the judge concluded that the first evaluation of Holmes conducted by the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo was incomplete and inadequate.
No other details from the first exam have not been made public.
The judge granted prosecutors' request for a second evaluation but said it should be done by another doctor at the state hospital, not by doctors chosen by the prosecutors.
If jurors eventually decide Holmes was insane, he would be acquitted of the crimes and committed indefinitely to the state hospital. If they decide he was sane, he could be convicted and sentenced either to be executed or spend life in prison without parole.
Holmes' attorneys acknowledged that he was the shooter. The case now hinges on whether he was insane.

Ben's Week In Review: July 22
I think I'll just keep playing Rainbow Moon for a while. Makes the slow summer days pass a little quicker. :)
I'm sorry, Versus XIII, I don't care if you're dead or not
So the big rumor is that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is no more. And you know what? Don't care one way or the other. I was honestly never interested in this from the start; it just looked like a real-time, open-world action/RPG that is farther from the traditional franchise roots than even FFXIII or FFXIII-2. If the project has been canceled, I don't care why, but I get the feeling that somehow, somewhere, the word got back to Square Enix - took a number of years, but whatever - that some of the big-time FF fans really have no interest in seeing their beloved series make such a drastic departure from that which they've known and loved for so long.
Then again, maybe it's just because the game ran out of gas. Maybe there was some creative dissension in the ranks and the developers couldn't decide exactly what to do, and what gameplay style(s) to embrace. But really, I don't care at all if this game never arrives. I'm far more interested to see what they do with Final Fantasy XV...but if it turns out like the snippets of what I saw of Versus, then my interest will quickly wane.
I think The Last Guardian is in trouble
If Square Enix actually does officially confirm that Versus XIII is done for, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony made the same announcement concerning The Last Guardian. It has taken too long, there have been too many unsettling rumors, and perhaps most telling of all, there has been no new media or information. If it was a third-party multiplatform title, then I wouldn't jump to conclusions. But when it's a first-party title exclusive to the PlayStation 3, one the Sony fans have been waiting on for a while, not hearing anything is a terrible sign. And then you say it's facing "technical difficulties?" That's not good. I know they say it's still in development but I'm definitely concerned, and you should be, too.
I'll try to remain optimistic, though, and hope to hear a more positive - and detailed - update at the Tokyo Game Show. That could be a great place to resurrect the dying hype for that game.
Personal gaming update
With little coming out this month, it's really all about Rainbow Moon for me. It's crazy addictive, even if I still get annoyed at the primary control issue. I keep thinking the developers could release a quick fix-it patch that would fix the problem; even instituting a feature that confirmed our movement selection would be fine. For a downloadable title, there's just so much to like and for old-school fans, you won't find a better deal for $14.99. I tried finishing Spec Ops: The Line the other day, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Too many missed opportunities.
Strangely enough, I'm looking forward to the two fighting games in September: Dead or Alive 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I've actually always been a DoA fan, despite my aversion to the fighting genre, and I really like what I've seen of DoA5 thus far. As for TTT2, that'll be more about nostalgia. I can't help remembering the first TTT arriving on launch day with the PS2 and everyone gathering around to see the new technological awesomeness. I just wanna see the long-awaited sequel. :)

I don't want The Last Guardian to be cancelled. The game looked like something special, something different. It has a very Sony'esque appeal like that. I'd imagine Sony would want it to stay alive for this reason. But it's oft delayed and cryptic media exposure is concerning.
Rainbow Moon's reception has been a surprise. I'm not sure if it's on my hit list, but I'd like to at least get a deeper look into it.
I want both TTT2 and DOA5. I have money down on DOA5. If I can somehow make it work, I'll get TTT2 as well. I really do like supporting my favorite genre directly with full priced purchases. I'd be a sad gamer if I lost this eastern genre.
PGU: Well, I finished off Suikoden. Finished it with the good ending, too. I surprised myself that I stuck with it. The first 12 hours or so were rough trying to adjust. Certain qualities like it's scripting and quality soundtrack helped me to hold on for the story to develop. And I'm glad I did. THe last 15 hours, or so, had me pretty well hooked. I didn't want to do anything else but play that dang game. It was great getting the castle filled in. Getting my star team dialed in etc. Good stuff, though it's combat system is pretty straight forward and lacked the depth I got from the PSX FF's. Thanks to Ben and World for the recommendation from some while ago. There's no doubt in my mind I want to do it's sequel when it hits PSN.
Other than that it's been VF5 FS. Just can't shake the fighting game instinct on this one. It's one of those things that just gives back for each session you put in. Competitively speaking, that is. I wouldn't want to play it much if there wasn't great competition out there. I hope it doesn't go ghost town anytime soon. I tried to hit up tekken 6 the other night and I couldn't find a match, ouch. Maybe it was bad timing.

It was sort of annoying finding the last few dudes. Gaspar? ... Who the crap is Gaspar? ... How the crap did I miss him? Then I remembered I didn't want to win his dice game so I told myself I'd come back and never remembered to.
I also used GameFaqs to find Crowley. He was worth it, though. He was very powerful in magic and was on my A-team at the end.

I'd be satisfied if they simply brought them over to PSN as classics. I'm really hoping for a Vita PS2 emulator, if possible.
EDIT: I mean an official emulator by SOny for Vita.

You also have to have the upgraded Runes, like the Rage Rune, Mother Earth Rune, etc. With such high magic levels, people like Hellion and Luc can cast multiple heal-all spells with that upgraded Water rune, and Crowley and Luc just decimate with Thunder (upgrade of Lightning) and Rage (upgrade of Fire). :)
Love that game.
Sunday, July 22, 2012 @ 12:54:15 AM
I ended up going with Thunder, Cyclone, Rage and Flowing Rune. I had Cyclone on Crowley and yea, Cyclone's high level storm spell both healed all and attacked all. pretty awesome. The final boss went down without much of a fight. I actually forgot to attach Flik's Rune going into that fight but never even needed it anyway haha. My team was like 60-58 in level.

but that's okay. I've always been a poser with jRPG's. Suikoden only marks the ninth jRPG that I started and actually completed. Which I know is weak-sauce compared to the hardcore jRPG gamers who actually have something to be proud about. Once I crack a dozen I'll feel just a bit more prestige ;)

Beat Max Payne 3 and now I'm onto White Knight Chronicles II, which feels more like FF than FF lol. I really need to scale back and get some writing done, I've already crammed lots of games into this summer.
Sunday, July 22, 2012 @ 6:06:05 AM
i just hope out of this we can finally get a kingdom hearts game on consoles!
i really cant understand why $E has restricted them to portables.
i mean yea portables are the bees knees over in japan, and thats where these games sell.
but, well, they have brought over FF and that did fine, so why wont KH?
it just seems that $E underestimate how many people want a KH game on consoles!
as for the last guardian, its vapourware as far as im concerned.
games been in development for AT LEAST 7 freaking years!
and we have no gameplay footage, no developer diaries, NOTHING!
i got into the LBP karting beta last night been having a blast with it!
its a bit disappointing how simplistic it is, i was really hoping the new added features to MNR like the upgradeable weapons, plenty of death traps, heaps of jumps, ect, ect, would be added.
but there not, its allot like the amazing spiderman.
so much fun, but also so annoying at the same time because you dont feel like your playing the game!
you feel like you have your eyes blindfolded, and your just using one finger.
it feels like a dog could annihilate the competition, the gameplay is that simplistic!
i wish they would add some of the complexities of MNR!
Sunday, July 22, 2012 @ 9:27:53 AM
All in all, it's just bad when you compare it to LBP1 or 2. But the really bad thing is, it trys so hard to be like LBP, but it just isn't. It's like the menu trys to be EXACTLY the same, but it is so slow, and doesn't have the right 'flow' (not to mention half the buttons don't work, but it's a beta so whatevs). Feels like a massive step backwards for LBP...I'm just glad it was made by someone other than MediaMolecule :P

Finally got Plus and immediately made back my investment plus $8.00! Got a discount on Rainbow Moon and I got Just Cause 2 and Little Big Planet 2 for free, $43.00 of value right there.
Rainbow Moon is interfering with my work deadlines, I just can't put it down. Despite being a tad slow in the beginning it's really turning out great. I haven't made many mistakes during movement in battles, but I agree that it's VERY frustrating when it occurs. Love this game, I miss turn-based :(
Also, playing some Skyrim and Killzone 3 multiplayer. Oh, and I believe I might grab a Vita this week but I'm wondering if I should wait to see if Sony announces a price drop first...
Sunday, July 22, 2012 @ 2:35:44 PM
If the rumor is true , it will be game like Tales of Graces F, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia, White Knight Chronicles II and Rainbow Moon that help me get over it.
I have to say that I'm gettinng quite addicted to Rainbow Moon right now. In fact I'm off to play it right now. :)
Sunday, July 22, 2012 @ 3:37:22 PM
The Last Guardian will happen, I just feel it. This game is way to important to Sony and Team Ico. I really think it's going to be something even more special than Ico and SotC.
Addicted to ACII and playing nothing else. The game is amazing and I am so glad I didn't miss this gem. Better late than never I always say.
Before ACII infected me I did finally get by these two really difficult timed challenges in Gravity Rush. It took me over 20 tries for the first one. It was during this timed challenge that I doubted ever earning my Platinum. I then ran into a tough sliding race that took about 15 tries but I was able to finally get Gold. The challenges are the toughest aspect in GR. I didn't have this much trouble with any of the Rare Nevi. I have chosen to just take my time. The Platinum will be mine!
Glad to hear everyone is enjoying Rainbow Moon! This is good news for future turn based possibilities. I will have to get it at some point when I have more time.

hey, Jeff here. I was out on a business trip to OKC in the middle of America and had the opportunity to meet a successful young man on the golf course. We all have a similar interest. We know the only way to survive and create the life you really want want is to be obsessed. We are all obsessed about something and we have to remember that is how we get what we want out of every day life it helps us push towards a goal that will hopefully help us reach our final destination.
So I get OKC last week and the crew and I had been out the night before to a great place in downtown OKC. The Skervin hotel. We had just ate dinner and was hanging out in the lobby chewing the fat and talking about business and a mutual friend came in with his friend and introduced us.
Steven is a well rounded person that knows everyone in OKC that any entrepreneur should want to know as well.
So as we chatted I gained more interest in his buddy James. He was quite the interesting gentleman. Liked fine cigars and whisky. He had stories for days of his journeys in business bouncing around the country setting up hail damage catastrophe repair sites when a storm would come barreling through with large hail.
I asked him how he was introduced into this fascinating niche.
James stated, " I was just a guy trying to make a living at the local dealership here in town. One day we had some bad weather and it was chaos on the lot. I had never seen an entire car lot be destroyed within a few short minutes. People where trying to get cars in the shop and any where that had a covered area to protect the vehicles. We had a crew show up a couple days later that where here to clean up the mess." It was like a traveling circus to give you a visual.
"They sat up huge tents and got to work on all the cars that had been beat with hail. It was controlled chaos as far as I could tell." Said James.
It peaked my interest as to how they where able to straighten out the vehicles and make them look like the hail damage never happened. It was like magic almost.
After talking to the repairsmen James stated that his interest was growing into an obsession. He was sure that if these goons could do that and make the money that they where it would be a homerun for him. So James went on to tell me about his training and later to the grand opening of his multi million dollar business that is today one of the most acclaimed hail repair companies in the U.S. He was like so many that just barely got by and was feasting off the scraps. He knew one thing though. Hustle and being obsessed about being the best is what got him to his new career and more lavish lifestyle. We all have to be so aware that we see the opportunities like these when they arise. We can't always be looking at our cell phones and not seeing what blessings are laid out in front of us. The best part of the story is that James now helps others to learn this trade and how to scale and prosper in any economy. It's been real guys and hope you got a good read out of this post. Stay tuned and I will talk to you soon.
P.s. To read more about James and his company go here Best dent repair shop in OKC.

ANGLERS who have just left their fishing tackle in their fishing bags for the winter will find that, like the foolish virgins of biblical fame, they will be ill prepared when the fishing season starts again next spring.
On the other hand the wise anglers will have their tackle well oiled and ready having spent the winter months in getting everything prepared and into good working order.
The other day I watched one angler checking and oiling his spinning tackle. All the reels were first washed in paraffin and then oiled. The spinners were all inspected for rust and the treble hooks wiped with an oiled rag.
Everything that had been damaged was replaced. It was surprising how many of the hooks on the spinners needed changing. Many of the small rings linking the spoon and hooks had to be changed.
Not only was this a good precaution against the many accidents caused by broken tackle it was also way of saving a lot of money.
One very interesting feature of the overhaul of the spinning tackle was the little amendments that some anglers make to their tackle in order to enhance their fishing potential. It was said that by adding another small link to the standard set up on the Toby, which is a great spoon for attracting salmon, it also made it a far better hooker.
There is no doubt that it is the flies that are the main target for attention during the winter months. It is hard to understand that although many anglers will have something like a thousand flies in their boxes, they will still go on to dress more. They will always try to dress that fail-me-never fly. It is a kind of therapeutic exercise for them.
It is important that all anglers, especially those who fish in competitions, have a good selection of flies and I am sure that if some anglers had ten thousand flies they would still want to dress a few more especially when they visit a new fishery.
Recently a gentleman from Derby sent me a small collection of fully dressed salmon flies. They were works of art and looked far too good to be used to try and catch a fish.
When the dresser said he spent a couple of hours on every fly he dressed, I found it very difficult to comprehend until I inspected his creations.
It is indeed an art to dress the salmon fly and probably the master of this craft was the late Pryce Tannant who lived in Machynlleth. He was a great fly dresser and his book is still considered on of the best books on salmon fly dressing.
Recently when fishing for salmon in the River Dee down river of Bala I noted that most of the flies used were ones that had been dressed with hair wings. It is not so difficult to dress hair-winged salmon flies but they were extremely effective and no doubt far cheaper to dress than the old traditional salmon flies.
The art of fly dressing goes back centuries. In the 14th Century we have an example of the well-known Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym referring to the artificial flies used to catch salmon. In one poem he addresses the fly which he likened to Judas the traitor who proceeds to betray the salmon.
In another poem he addresses the salmon and asks it to go to the bedside of his mistress who was sleeping alongside her husband and declare Dafydd's love for her.
Yes he was quite a lad as well as being arguably one of the greatest European poets of his time, but I'm not sure if he dressed his own flies.

Garmin Striker 5cv
5-inch CHIRP Fishfinder with GPS and ClearV?
Scanning Sonar
Finding fish is easier than ever with STRIKER 5cv
fishfinder. Mark and return to your hot spots, boat ramps and docks. You also
can share your favorite waypoints and routes with other STRIKER and echoMAP?
combos. Plus, it has a built-in flasher and displays speed data. Includes
tilt/swivel mount, CHIRP (77/200 kHz) sonar transducer with transom and trolling
motor mounting hardware and cable.
Experience the Clarity of CHIRP
STRIKER 5cv includes a Garmin CHIRP (77/200 kHz)
transducer, which provides a visibly higher level of clarity and detail for fish
and structure than traditional 77/200 kHz transducers.
Instead of sending just 1 single frequency, CHIRP
sends a continuous sweep of frequencies, ranging from low to high, then
interprets them individually upon their return. Since the frequencies provide a
wider range of information, CHIRP sonar technology can create crisper fish
arches with greater target separation.
Clear Scanning Sonar Images
Garmin ClearV? scanning sonar gives you a nearly
photographic, wide image of what passes below your boat. You clearly see
structure, submerged objects and fish. Traditional Garmin CHIRP sonar and CHIRP
ClearV? scanning sonar are combined into 1 transducer.
Mark Spots with High-sensitivity GPS
Unlike regular fishfinders, STRIKER fishfinders
have built-in, high-sensitivity GPS to locate your current position quickly and
precisely, then maintain your GPS location anywhere you go on the lake. More
importantly, they allow you to mark spots where the fish are biting so you can
return to them again in the future. You also can mark docks, boat ramps and
other locations on the lake. Just follow the path created on your screen to
return to them whenever you wish.
Navigate Easily with Waypoint Map
Since the STRIKER fishfinder series includes
high-sensitivity GPS, you can see your position in relation to waypoints you
have marked. Use the waypoint map to easily view, mark and navigate to locations
such as brush piles, stumps and docks. It?s also a great tool for finding your
way back to the boat ramp.
Check Your Speed on Screen
You can quickly and easily see your boat?s speed
on the screen of your STRIKER fishfinder. It?s a great tool to make sure you are
trolling at the right speed for the lure you?re using and for a particular fish
species. It?s also a good way to tell if you are going the right speed in
wake-controlled areas.
Fish Vertically with Built-in Flasher
STRIKER provides you with both a fishfinder and
flasher all in 1 unit. Anytime you are stationary fishing, such as ice fishing
or jigging for crappie, the built-in flasher will show you the bottom, whether
it is solid or muddy, your jig or weighted bait and the depth of fish as they
swim into the sonar beam. You can even watch how high your jig is being lifted
and dropped and whether fish move toward or away from it.
Take Your Fishfinder Anywhere
A portable kit is available to protect and carry
your STRIKER fishfinder with GPS, so it?s perfect for kayak, canoe or ice
fishing. It includes a sealed, rechargeable battery with charger, built-in
transducer cable management and storage and suction cup transducer mount and

Have you ever hit a personal or organizational rut? They are easy to get into if you aren't paying attention to goals and project management. This episode is all about staying focused on the forward momentum you have identified as the most important.
I want to point out listeners to the new podcast management plugin I am using (from the always brilliant Pat Flynn). It's called the Smart Podcast Player and it is awesome. You can access the entire archives at productivepastorpodcast.com
Thanks to our most recent iTunes review and ratings!
Keeping Important Goals In The Front of the Pack
When was the last time you felt stuck? Personally or organizationally? It happens. I have seen myself or places I have been part of leading get stuck plenty of times. One of the primary causes of getting stuck is loosing sight of what really matters. It is no secret how important I feel goal setting and goal focused leadership is. I think goals are the secret to staying out of slumps or if you are in one, getting out of the slump quickly.
But just having goals isn't enough. You can easily make goals boring and mundane. I believe the best goals are focused around forward momentum and missional innovation.
Google is famous for it's 20% rule for staffing and the best innovation has come out of it. You can read about it here. Even if Marissa Mayer is true, innovation must always be happening. So if you are functioning off of great (and community built goals) and still getting slumpy…I would begin asking the innovation questions.
Here is why you need to keep your goals at the front of the pack.
1. Lead with goals (not responsibilities): Goals are what control you-not others thoughts about "what" you should be doing.
2. Keep you centered: Goals give you an anchor point.
3. Keep you safe: Goals should always be created in community and shared in community.
4. Any goal centered organization is going to stop being a goal centered organization: Think of how this changes your organizational structure. What does it teach volunteer leadership that will help them in their vocational life?
How to Start Being Goal Focused
- Establish small and medium sized goals
- Groupthink
- Do it personally
- Hit your goals publicly
- Begin building goal based systems

Junior Nola Johnson is the latest addition to the group of Ohio Wesleyan students who can say they are OWU.
Johnson is October's winner of the monthly "You Are OWU" award given by the Office of Student Involvement.
Johnson won for her contributions to SlutWalk, a program she put on as a member of the Women's House and president of Sisters United.
Johnson said she was "very surprised" she won, and that she thinks SlutWalk was a collaborative effort.
"I really don't like taking credit for the things I do," Johnson said. "I didn't want to be the sole winner of this award, when so many people helped put on this project. In my mind we're all equal collaborators and help one another reach our goal.
"Nothing can be accomplished with a lone person's efforts."
Junior Cali Cornacchia, student assistant for the Office of Student Involvement, said most winners of "You Are OWU" are groups or "leaders on behalf of a group," like Johnson. She said potential winners are nominated by their peers to SIO; about 10 nominations is the monthly average.
Cornacchia said she and Nancy Bihl Rutkowski, assistant director of Student Involvement for leadership, decide the winners each month. She said they consider students who go above and beyond in their contributions to the campus community that month.
According to Cornacchia, winners usually have a positive reaction to the award.
"I think they're happy and they feel honored because they're getting recognized for something they put work into," Cornacchia said.
Cornacchia said all nominees are notified of their nomination, and that those who don't win are still appreciative.
"Even though they might not have won, they realize that someone recognized them for something that they did, which is pretty great," she said.
Senior Leah Shaeffer, who won "You Are OWU" for her work as director of "8: The Play," said she appreciated being recognized with the award because she put a lot of work into the production.
"[I]t was something we faced a lot of struggles in producing, and by some I mean many," Shaeffer said. "As much as I make fun of 'being OWU,' I love it."
Cornacchia said winners receive a "Bishop beanie" doll, a certificate, a picture on display in Hamilton-Williams Campus Center and their names on a plaque with past "You Are OWU" recipients. The winners are also recognized publicly at a ceremony in the Ham-Will atrium on the last Friday of each month.
Sophomore Ryan Haddad, producer of "8," said the ceremony was a "nice kind of little reunion" for him, Shaeffer and the rest of the cast and crew.
"A lot of us see each other all the time anyway in the theatre department, but there are many of us who weren't theatre majors as well," Haddad said.
Johnson said her ceremony was special because she works in Student Involvement, and her coworkers were present.
"[I]t was so nice to see them excited for me and taking my pictures, and I fed off their energy and happiness," Johnson said. "One of my supervisors even let me wear a crown later that day. It motivates me to continue to try and make an impact on this campus and in people's lives, as well."
Haddad said he thinks the award would carry more weight if the campus community were more aware of it.
"It was lovely and everything, but I don't think that the award is widely enough known about," Haddad said.

Hey everybody, it's Tuesday! People tend to dislike Tuesdays, but I disagree with that sentiment, I rather like them. It means I survived Monday.
Anyways kids, today I would like to talk about what happens when you step away from your laptop and go outside.
Yep. Outside. Apparently there is a whole world out there called "nature" (pronounced like nay-churr, for those of you like me, who haven't really been immersed in it since last fall and forget what it's like) Boy, is it spectacular.
Eric and I can be
workaholics laptop-aholics. Wait, let me rephrase. Every weekend there comes a point when we belly up to our laptops because we say we have work to do. Which we do. But with the internet just sitting there practically begging us to watch funny dog videos on youtube or look at stuff judgmentally on reddit, it's not always work that takes priority.
Anyways, on Sunday the weather was gorgeous so we decided to pull our noses away from our computer screens and go for a hike in the great outdoors.
(Btw, we didn't take a single picture while we were out there, which I'm now kicking myself over, so please be aware that the following photos, gifs and diagrams are improvised.)
Don't get me wrong, we love hiking, but this first nature walk of the year was a little outside our comfort zone.
First, before we even got outside it took about an hour to figure out how to dress for this activity. I'm still not even sure how that was possible considering this was sort of a last minute idea while we were at his house and the only clothes I had were the ones I was wearing. Jeans and flats. Totally appropriate apparel for a city hike, 110% inappropriate for a nature hike. But that didn't stop us. Eric was going to change into normal athletic clothes, but in a show of solidarity, he too stayed in jeans.
The next question was coat or no coat? This turned out to be a lengthier decision process than one might think. I believe this sentence came out of my mouth at one point: "I mean, I kinda want my coat because it's cool in the shade but then again it's nice in the sun and I guess when we're hiking we're going to get hot, but what if all the trees provide too much shade and we get too cold?" Eric responded with "Yeah, how long is this going to take? Is it going to be dark by the time we get back?" We both paused and thought about that for a second.
Keep in mind it was 2 in the afternoon, and the trail is a little over 3 miles long.
Yeah. We were acting like aliens who had never before walked on planet Earth.
So, how did we end up settling the coat matter you wonder? Answer- we were both so hot from all that discussion and pacing around the room we decided on no coats.
Finally, we embarked on this hike simultaneously over-excited and under-prepared.
Right away, the steepness of the hill we encountered just to get to the trail posed a greater threat than we anticipated. We turned back to get Gatorade.
Ok, now we were ready.
Once we got to the trail it was great. The path is technically around a "pond" as it's officially called, but as we hiked around the circumference Eric and I both agreed a more accurate term would be "lake". "Pond" really doesn't do justice to this immense body of water.
You get the idea.
There were a couple times we came to a fork in the path. Inevitably, there was a sunny route and a shady route. Our motto was "follow the water" so we tended to stick to the route that more closely wove around the "lake" which was usually the shadier of the two paths. Next time we'll take the sunny route. New rule is always take the sunny route. There was nothing wrong with the shady routes per se, but they certainly weren't the pretty routes. And they certainly weren't the easy terrain routes either.
All good though. We had the best time once we got going. We were talking and laughing and taking in fresh air the whole way. Once we were almost 3 miles in, Eric even proclaimed that he was down for another couple loops around the lake.
However, when we arrived back at our starting point a few minutes later and we had to choose between going around again or going back to his place and make smoothies, the latter beat the former by a unanimous vote of 2-0. Smoothies it was.
The smoothies we made actually turned out super good so I'll have to post the recipe one Friday in the future. (Not this Friday, because we have a very special guest smoothie-maker this week: my mother!)
Anyways, all in all, Eric and I had a blast. We saw butterflies and birds and we were one with nature and all that awesome stuff. If only we were wearing proper footwear we may have even gotten around the lake more than once. (Seriously, we called it quits after one lap because of the footwear, not because we were both sweaty and tired and hungry.)
So there you have it, friends. That's what happens when you're not at your laptop.
Are you a city, suburb, or country person?? Do you ever feel like a fish out of water when you're not in your element?
Are you glued to your computers as much as Eric and I? (please say yes…)

Since I haven't been couponing for very long, I've only recently discovered e-Coupons. They are fantastic.
Both Price Chopper and ShopRite offer e-Coupons. If you haven't tried these yet, here's why I love them.
– You only need to add your store loyalty card once before you click away, virtually loading both manufacturer and store coupons onto your card.
– Many of the e-coupons are store coupons so there are a slew more stacking opportunities.
– It cuts down on paper waste, which is good for the environment.
– You can put your scissors aside, and these will save you time.
My only recommendation – because I haven't developed a better system – is to print out or write down a list of the coupons loaded onto your card so you don't forget and miss an opportunity to save.

Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whenever we hear that glorious Word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they, like them, could die for Thee!
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Prior to becoming a Catholic, I had never heard this hymn before, though I believe it is contained in some Protestant hymn books. I first encountered it taking part in prayer vigils outside the abortion clinic. It's rather catchy.

The Return
Let's start with last night's dish -- baked chicken and a luscious salad.
While at the grocery story, I found that the chicken breasts were on sale! What a treat! By one get one free at less than $4. But I couldn't bring myself to buy them. No, not after watching Fast Food Nation and Food, Inc. I walked away and over toward the natural section. Ah! Chicken breasts marked upwards from $8. *winches* It was well worth it, though -- for taste and for my psyche.
The procedure was simple. I marinated the chicken in lemon and lime juice with paprika and garlic salt for about 30 to 40 minutes. Preheated the oven to 450 and set out on the dry ingredients.
I melted a little butter in a skillet that was on medium low heat, then put in some basil and paprika, stirring this for about five to six minutes. With the chicken done marinating, I tossed it in a mixture of panko and corn meal before putting it in the skillet, making sure to slather each breast with an ample amount of the herbs. Then I poured the rest of the marinade over the chicken and popped that in the oven, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
The chicken with a side salad produced a wonderful marriage! That salad, with goat cheese, dried cranberries, green onions, tomatoes and shaved carrots and the mustard dressing Bonnie taught me how to make was perfect!

Try-This-at-Home Dressing
Thank goodness for creativity.
Why, oh, why did I throw away so many years of my life devoted to ranch dressing. Honestly. Why didn't I experiment more often and earlier in life. And not just with the standbys -- Thousand Island or Italian or Caesar.
Well, I shouldn't be so harsh. There is a time for those types of dressings. But not with every. Single. Salad. You have to mix things up a bit from time to time. Keeps Libra happy.
So, this comes from my friend Bonnie who put this dressing together one night, relying on honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and mustard. She'd come over to cook, and the only thing I did not have on hand was the right type of mustard she wanted. A spicy sandwich mustard would do, but turns out that Chinese hot mustard -- which I had in abundance -- made this dressing much better.
This mixture produces a nice, slighty spicy and tangy salad dressing and you can turn up the heat by merely adding a bit more mustard. Nutty, fragrant with a nice kick at the end. Think of a flamenco dancer bringing the dance to a close on a final, triumphant note!
That's how my tongue felt.

WMBA – Americas Principles for Enhancing the Safety and Soundness of the Wholesale, Over-The-Counter Markets, OTC Markets, and Products:
1. OTC products are those instruments, properties and commodities that are not listed and traded on a central exchange but are transacted in bilateral transactions between market counterparties.
2. Many of the most efficient and most liquid markets in the world are American OTC market. These include:
• US Treasuries and other fixed-income securities,
• Repurchase transactions,
• interest rate swaps,
• foreign exchange and
• credit default swaps
3. Many OTC markets feature:
• Highly regulated market participants: Wholesale brokers and their professional staffs are extensively regulated in the US by the SEC, the CFTC and FINRA and abroad by numerous regulatory agencies, including the UK's FSA.
• a high degree of electronic execution,
• open access to central counterparty clearing (CCP) and
• comprehensive trade confirmation, settlement and reporting utilities.
4. As a general matter, the OTC markets are much larger, more cost effective and far more innovative than exchange traded markets. It has been estimated that more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies use OTC derivatives among other OTC products. Just as farmers routinely hedge against a future drop in commodity prices, corporate debt issuers and manufacturers routinely use OTC contracts to hedge the interest rate, credit and currency risks associated with their business operations.
Role of Wholesale Brokers in OTC Markets:
1. Wholesale brokers are intermediaries that facilitate access to OTC and exchange traded pools of liquidity across a full range of asset classes and their associated derivatives.
2. Wholesale brokers generally match buyers and sellers in bilateral transactions.
3. In OTC markets with central counterparty clearing, wholesale brokers effect transactions and then present the trade to the clearinghouse.
4. In some OTC cash and derivative markets, wholesale brokers utilize highly sophisticated electronic execution systems with automated trade confirmation and straight-through-processing links to market participants.
5. Wholesale brokers also provide OTC market transparency through publication of market and pricing trading data.
The members of the WMBA-Americas advocate the following principles:
1. Open Centralized Clearing. WMBA Americas supports the development of central counterparty facilities for the novation, clearance and settlement of OTC contracts including OTC derivatives. WMBA Americas believes that central counterparties should be required to be open, neutral and provide all execution platforms with non-discriminatory access to the clearing facilities.
2. No Mandatory Exchange Execution. We do not support the forced channeling of OTC trading or its markets and products onto regulated exchanges. Such efforts would stifle innovation and competition and raise transaction costs. Wholesale brokers, through their regulated electronic trading platforms can achieve the desired efficiencies and transparency without stifling competitiveness and innovation.
3. More Effective Regulation of Wholesale OTC Markets and/or their Participants. The WMBA-Americas supports enhanced regulation of the OTC cash and derivatives markets that provides regulators with effective tools and means to monitor and police markets and participants. This includes greater market transparency achieved through: (i) enhanced reporting requirements for all market participants, (ii) incentives to encourage centralized clearing and standardization of OTC contracts; and (iii) wider adoption of technology. Any regulatory changes should be focused and carefully considered, and should not stifle innovation, market liquidity and product development. The WMBA-Americas supports enhanced OTC markets regulation that keeps American OTC markets competitive and strengthens participant's confidence in these critical markets.
4. Encouraging Competition and Innovation. Efforts should be made to enhance institutional investors' confidence in the integrity and fairness of our OTC markets. Sophisticated market participant should have the ability to choose when, where and how they will trade and manage their risks. The development of new competitive trading venues should be encouraged, not discouraged. Innovation should not be stifled by increasing barriers to entry – barriers that would become insurmountable if there was mandatory exchange trading of OTC derivatives.
5. The Use of Regulated Electronic Transaction Execution Systems. The US Treasury Department's White Paper on Financial Services Industry Regulation identifies "Regulated Electronic Transaction Execution Systems" ("RETES") as suitable platforms for execution of OTC derivatives transactions. We believe that many of the electronic trading platforms operated by the US wholesale brokers are an exact match for the RETES concept. Our members combine actively-used electronic trading systems, sophisticated pre and post-trade transaction support technologies and automated trade capture and confirmation systems providing fast and effective regulatory transparency along with decades of market experience, deep liquidity in cash and derivative financial products, and neutral and non-proprietary trade execution service.
The WMBA and its members look forward to working with US policy makers, legislators and regulators in developing the RETES criteria and other regulatory standards and continuing to serve their customers in healthy US financial markets for decades to come.

Intel wants to get into dense board design by embedding Broadwell-DE high-performance server chips onto motherboards.
Broadwell-DE are Chipzilla's first chips with a system-on-a-chip design, cannot be slotted which enables a more dense board design.
Shannon Poulin, vice president and general manager of Intel Data Center Marketing Group said the chips will ship in the second half of 2014 or early 2015.
It will put Intel into the dense computer market alongside Dell and HP who are condensing servers to eke out more performance while cutting data-centre electric bills.
Poulin said the SOC design removes potential bottlenecks, but the slotted server chips have access to more memory and power, which helps increase performance.
He told PC World that the chips will have a wide range of I/O controllers and can be adapted for storage and networking systems.
Broadwell-DE chips are faster compared to the company's Atom-based server-based chips, which will offer lower power consumption. They also use Intel's 14-nanometer process.
Intel is also due to release Xeon server chips code-named Grantley, based on Haswell, in the second half of next year.
Next year will see it have to deal with ARM which will be releasing its own server chips.
