MHP - Dopamite Dopaminergic Fat Burning Catalyst - Bonus Size 20% More Free - 72 Tablets
MHP Dopamite Dopaminergic Fat Burning Catalyst is a bonus size with 20% more tablets for free! DOPAMITE belongs to a new class of weight management aids known as dopaminergics. Frequent cravings, low energy and a sluggish metabolism may all be associated with low levels of dopamine. Dopamine is a potent neurotransmitter and the driving force of your brain's reward, pleasure and motivation system, also known as "the fat burning control center."
DOPAMITE helps catalyze fat burning by supporting maximum healthy levels of dopamine and dopamine-dependent (dopaminergic) functions, as well as the functions of the supporting neurotransmitters serotonin, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. All 4 play powerful roles in regulating energy, motivation, satiety (a reduction in hunger after eating) and well-being.
DOPAMITE'S powerful effects are driven by a scientifically engineered blend of actives including highly standardized botanical extracts that have been carefully assessed for potency and efficacy. DOPAMITE should only be used by healthy adults who are seeking to achieve significant weight loss.
About Maximum Human Performance (MHP)Like every other workout fanatic out there, you spend countless hours pumping iron to increase strength, add muscle mass and improve performance. Yet you also understand that to succeed in bodybuilding, powerlifting or sports, there is one requirement that is not to be handled haphazardly - supplementation. And when it comes to supplements, one brand stands out as the strongest in the industry: MHP!
MHP is the creation of former top-level bodybuilder Gerard Dente. When he was competing, Gerard constantly researched the best training techniques, diet strategies and other performance enhancement methods needed to gain a competitive edge. Yet it was his genius with supplementation that fueled him to be one of the biggest and strongest competitors of his day. In fact, Gerard was using ingredients like high doses of leucine, KIC, tribulus and arginine long before they became popular. He was convinced that athletes deserved better and decided to take some action by founding MHP.
Since its inception, MHP's corporate mission has been to develop premier science-based, research-driven sports supplements to help athletes achieve their greatest physical potential. Over the years, MHP has introduced many innovations and breakthroughs in sports nutrition. For instance, MHP was the first company to introduce arginine for nitric oxide production to the bodybuilding world way back in early 1999 (via ADNO - arginine derived nitric oxide), when the company launched the creatine/NO product TRAC. In addition, the patented 12-hour sustained release protein formula in Probolic-SR has been an unmatched industry standard since it was released in 2004. MHP was the first company to introduce the incredible blood-boosting power of EPO in 2008 with Dark Rage. And with new highly advanced GlycoCarn/KNO3 Nitrite-NO Technology now available in NO-BOMB, MHP continues to provide new and exclusive innovations in performance enhancing supplementation.
Because of its dedicated research and development, innovative formulations, clinically researched ingredients and cutting edge products, MHP has become the most trusted brand and industry leader among world-class athletes, pro bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen and fitness enthusiasts alike. The numerous world records that MHP athletes hold in powerlifting and strongman, plus the many top titles in bodybuilding, fitness and figure, signify how much our supplements are capable of helping athletes achieve. In addition, countless top lifting coaches and trainers also use and recommend MHP products.
"All of the elite athletes I work with use nutritional supplements," says Joe Carini, a former powerlifting champion who trains many top NFL stars and strongmen at Carini's House of Iron. "Because of my years of experience as a competitive powerlifter and supplement user, I recommend only MHP products to my athletes."

7 Stocks Shoveling More Cash to Investors
New Dividend: 27 cents quarterly (per share)
Dividend Percent Increase: 8%Current Yield: 1.81% Agricultural firm Bunge (BG) is another firm that's increased its dividend payouts toward the end of May. The $8.7 billion firm increased its cash payouts to shareholders by 8%, raising its dividend yield to 1.8%. Bunge acts as a middleman between farmers and consumers, processing raw agricultural commodities on one side, and supplying farmers with products like fertilizer on the other. That middleman status comes with strings attacked -- the biggest is the fact that when BG's business becomes too profitable, farmers and retailers may opt to find ways of doing business that let them keep more of that money. So while Bunge's dividend hike is a great move for existing shareholders, paper-thin margins and a relatively small yield make it a less attractive name for income investors in 2012.

Stock buyback blitz continues
This year many cash-rich companies have been repurchasing their own shares ahead of the possible end of the Bush-era tax cuts.
The 2012 buyback blitz continues. In October, dozens of companies announced new buyback plans or extended old ones, including IBM (IBM), which said on October 30 it would increase its stock refund by 75% to $11.7 billion. The company has spent $3 billion on share repurchases so far this year. The increase represents an additional $5 billion in stock, or about 2% of the company's market value. Joining IBM at the billion-dollar level is TRW Auto (TRW), which pledged to spend $1 billion to buy back stock (18% market value) over the next two years.
In July we wrote about the earlier group of companies buying back their own stock. At that time, American Greetings (AM), Baxter (BAX), CBS (CBS), Lockheed (LMT), News Corp (NWSA), Radio Shack (RSH), Travelzoo (TZOO) and Visa (V) had all pledged billions in repurchase plans.
Buybacks have numerous benefits. They reduce assets on the balance sheet, which translates into a higher return-on-assets and return-on-equity -- all without any change in earnings. They also drive down that ubiquitous measure, the price-to-earnings ratio, which makes it appear that a company is less expensive than it was before the buyback.
As far as benefits for the shareholder go, buybacks are usually considered a positive when the stock is selling at a material discount to its intrinsic value. As a general rule, buybacks tend to boost investor confidence. As Crain's Detroit Business quoted Matthew Stover, an analyst with Guggenheim Securities, on the larger than expected TRW buyback: "Management and the board took a simpler and larger approach, which is ultimately more attention-grabbing and underlies their confidence in the outlook for the company."
One other reason buybacks have been the rage in 2012 is the uncertainty around the Bush-era tax cuts that could end this year. Those taxes cap both the long-term capital gain rate and stock dividend rate at 15%. Buybacks are taxed at the capital gains rate.
Like IBM, American Capital Agency (AGNC) took advantage of the closed markets last week, pledging $500 million (12% market value), in a repurchase program. AGNC specified that it would only buy shares when they are trading below book value.
Aspen Insurance Holdings (AHL) and WABCO (WBC) have each pledged $400 million, representing 18% and 12% market value respectively. Aspen made the announcement in its earnings call in mid-October while WBC made its announcement while the markets were closed for Hurricane Sandy.
Earlier in October, Dana Holdings (DAN) said it would spend $250 million (13% market value) on a buyback program, while Zynga (ZNGA) and Rent-A-Center (RCII) said they would spend $200 million each, representing 11% and 10% market value respectively. It's the first time Zynga has ever initiated a repurchase program and it was clearly done to boost investor confidence as the company shares have fallen from a 52-week high of $15.91 to $2.26 in Tuesday's trading. RCII announced its buyback plan at the same time it said its third quarter earnings would be less than the consensus estimate.
The largest market value buyback, at 79%, belongs to Willis Lease Financial (WLFC), which announced a five-year $100 million buyback plan. The announcement was made in early October and as of mid-month it had repurchased $6.1 million worth of shares.

A LaFayette, Ga., man is in custody after he was involved in a two-hour standoff with police Tuesday night.
Freddie Lowe was arrested after a LaFayette police negotiator talked him into handing over the gun that he was threatening to use to shoot his wife, his 17-year-old son and himself, said Sgt. Darin Kelley.
Lowe has been charged with multiple charges, including three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of terrorist threats, pointing or aiming a gun at another and cruelty to children in the third degree.
Police received the call about 11 p.m. from the house, located off Wind Song Road, Kelley said. Authorities allowed the negotiator to talk Lowe out of shooting anyone and walk outside, he said.

A large group of water-soluble plant pigments, commonly referred to as bioflavonoids in the media. All flavonoids are biological in origin, so the two terms are interchangeable. Flavonoids are most commonly known as powerful antioxidants, protecting against oxidative and free radical damage. They have been referred to as "nature's biological response modifiers" because of strong experimental evidence of their ability to modify the body's reaction to allergens, viruses and carcinogens. They show anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer activity. As a result, consumers and food manufacturers have become interested in flavonoids for their medicinal properties, especially their potential role in the prevention of cancers and cardiovascular disease. The beneficial effects of fruit, vegetables, tea and red wine have been attributed to flavonoid compounds. Cocoa is loaded with the flavonoid epicatechin; cocoa has been found to have nearly twice the antioxidant content of red wine and up to three times that of green tea (dark chocolate should be consumed with a cocoa content of 70% or greater). Other good sources of flavonoids include all citrus fruits, berries, onions, parsley and legumes, plus green tea and red wine.

Highly unstable and reactive molecules that attack, infiltrate and injure vital cell structures. They are constantly formed as a natural by-product of body chemistry. Free radicals are highly toxic and can damage important cellular molecules such as DNA, lipids or other parts of the cell, impairing the brain and other tissue. They are believed to accelerate the progression of age-related conditions and other diseases.
All tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant (referred to as the tea tree, tea plant or tea bush); the difference in the many varieties of tea lies in the processing and the terroir (e.g. the difference in Indian versus Chinese versus Japanese growing environments, and different regional environments within countries). Unlike black and oolong teas, green tea is made from leaves that are not fermented before they are dried. Thus, the antioxidant levels of green tea are five times higher than black tea. Green tea is also high in vitamin C. Green tea is produced by panning freshly picked tea leaves at a high temperature for a short period of time to stop oxidation before it starts, which also preserves most of the polyphenols. (Note: See also white tea. White tea is also not fermented and is even higher in antioxidants.)

Lycopene is a bright red pigment and phytochemical found in watermelon, tomatoes, papayas and some other red fruits and vegetables (such as red carrots)—but not in strawberries or cherries. While most people think of tomatoes as a the best source of lycopene, watermelon actually has substantially more.

Prologue: Bulgarian Highlights
The Russe district makes its share of that Merlot, something like 100,000 cases a year. Thanks to the Bargetto Winery, you can sample it for a mere $7. They've imported it under their Coastal Cellars label. If you enjoy red wines in this price range, you certainly want to try this one.
The Wine:
Postscript: Those Stone Age vintners probably made red wine, but it wasn't Merlot. That varietal arrived in Bulgaria only some 30 years ago.

I've got an older laptop circa 2007 with an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 1.8GHz processor...the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1501.
I'm upgrading the ram and was curious if there was a faster CPU available that should be an easy swap out of my old CPU.
I'm only keeping this thing alive because I don't have the room currently to set up my desktop.
Speaking of my desktop I have an AMD 1090T Black Edition and was wondering what an appropriate upgrade for this one would be as well.
Thank You.
Replacing a socket S1g1 product (such as the TL-56) isn't likely to be worth the trouble.
As far as the 1090T is concerned, it's FX-8350 or nothing (with an AM3+ board upgrade as well, of course). The 1090T/1100T products still do really well in applications where threading is not a big deal.
Is this for gaming purposes or productivity? If it's for gaming, you're probably better off picking up a R9 200 product vs upgrading your desktop CPU.
Desktop: AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.5GHz, Sapphire Vapor-X HD5870, ASUS M4A78T-E, 8GB Kingston/Mushkin DDR3-1333, 256GB OCZ Vertex 4, 2xSeagate Momentus XT 500GB Hybrid Drive (RAID0), ASUS Xonar Xense, Corsair HX750W, Antec Nine Hundred, Windows 7 Professional x64.HP Touchsmart TM2: Intel Core i5 430UM, Hitachi 250GB 7200RPM HDD, ATI Radeon HD5450, 8GB Samsung DDR3-1333 (CL9), Windows 7 Professional x64.
I'm fortunate enough to already possess an AM3+ board from when I built the system. The Desktop is multi-purpose, I like to do some rather demanding gaming as well as productivity work. Do the new processors have a hyperthreading capability?
All FX products (2012/2013) have two integer cores per (Bulldozer) module which is AMD's response to Hyperthreading.
The FX-8350, for example, has 8 integers cores on 4 modules. It does best in multi-threaded workloads but is still able to outpace Phenom II in single-threaded applications.
If you already have an AM3+ board and you're looking for something that will outperform your 1090T, then it is likely a fairly straight forward decision:
The FX-8350 will be your best option if you have any sort of budget. Otherwise, the FX-9590 or 9370 will both be good picks if overclocking isn't your thing.
I've recently seen the 9370 on for $240, which is decent, but keep in mind that the 8350, 9370, and 9590 are all exactly the same chip with different binning.
Also keep in mind that the FX-9000 series CPUs require a special AM3+ mobo that has a VRM circuit capable of delivering sufficient power for these 220w TDP CPUs. These CPUs also require at least a top end tower cooler or water cooling. Only a handful of AM3+ mobos are approved for the FX-9000 series CPUs. Other mobos are likely to burn out the VRM circuit or throttle the FX-9000 series CPUs at best.
The FX-8350 IME is the best product and quite capable IMO but you need to confirm that your mobo supports the 8-core FX processors as many have VRM issues with these CPUs when placed under heavy loads. Your mobo maker should list online if your specific model mobo supports the FX-8350 or other model CPUs.
Building a reliable PC involves more than just assembling the parts. You need to be able to configure all of the BIOS settings appropriately. This can be quite involved and frustrating as it can require a lot of trial and error with stress testing. It is however often the only means to get a 100% reliable PC.
What's the difference between the 9590 and the 9370 all the specs look nearly identical?
The base and turbo mode frequencies are the only difference.
Base for the 9590 is 4700 MHz. and the 9370 is 4400 MHz.

* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.

The booklet describes the Cypress sound as being built up from the bottom register, and in Ethan Filner's introductory viola motif to Dvořák's 'American' Quartet we find that generous rounded quality that sets the scene for a performance combining warmth and inner clarity. The dynamic range of the opening movement is never exaggerated and moves forward with admirable urgency. The Lento avoids sentimentality, the scherzo is lightweight, and cellist Jennifer Kloetzel resists the temptation to dig too deep into her strings in the bubbling account of the finale.
I find it strange that the Barber Quartet is not more frequently heard. The Cypress players offer a dramatic view of the two outer movements, surrounding a restrained account of the slow movement that became his most frequently performed work in its guise as the Adagio for Strings.
Charles Griffes's Two Sketches Based on Indian Themes is a real rarity, featuring native American songs, with a sombre opening Lento – a farewell song – contrasting with a highly energised and attractive second sketch. Here as throughout the disc, the Cypress's gorgeous tonal quality reflects the celebrated instruments they play (including a 1681 Stradivari), and the engineers provide a totally realistic sound in a compact venue.

Walking Box Ranch is currently closed and not open to the public.
For contractors interested in the restoration bid, the contractor site visit is 11/21/13. No access will be provided prior to that date. RSVP's are required for access on 11/21/13.
See the solicitation for more information
Trespassing is prohibited.
The Walking Box Ranch was built in 1931 by legendary silent film stars Rex Bell and Clara Bow. The name of the ranch and brand are symbolic of a camera box on a tripod. During the 1930s, it covered nearly 400,000 acres and supported 1,800 head of cattle.
The ranch was also known as a rural escape destination for the couple's famous Hollywood friends, which reportedly included Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, and Errol Flynn. Bell and Bow stayed at the ranch until the mid-1940s, when they separated and Bell pursued a career in politics. He served as Nevada's lieutenant governor from 1955 until his death in 1962. Rex Bell, Jr. and his brother George grew up at the ranch. Rex Bell, Jr. served as Clark County District Attorney in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The property continued as an operating cattle ranch under Bell and the subsequent ownership of Karl Weikel through the 1980s until it was sold to Viceroy Gold Corporation in 1990. Viceroy used the property to access their local mine and rehabilitated the ranch headquarters to serve as an executive retreat. Since the mid-1990s, the property has changed hands several times and is now located in the midst of an expansive desert tortoise conservation area. View the ranch chronology.
The 160-acre Walking Box Ranch is located approximately seven miles west of Searchlight and just south of State Route 164. The facilities include a two-story 5060 sq. ft. home, 2095 sq. ft. barn, 960 sq. ft. caretaker's residence, 1200 sq. ft. guesthouse, a 60x120 foot swimming pool, tennis court, and miscellaneous structures. Outside there is a 575 sq. ft. cactus garden and a 770 sq. ft. covered patio with a built-in barbecue.
The main house features terra cotta tile on the first floor and hardwood floors on the second. The six bedrooms and six bathrooms retain most of the original tile work. The original desert stone fireplace remains as the centerpiece of the authentic great room, and a rustic wooden bar draws visitors into the family/game room.
Some of Southern Nevada's most significant ecological and cultural resources are embodied just outside the barbed wire fences surrounding the ranch. Being adjacent to wilderness areas and areas of critical environmental concern, the region is habitat for some 300 native plant species and the threatened desert tortoise. It sits at 4,000 feet above sea level.
The property has undergone a detailed survey and cataloging of the structures, cultural artifacts, and historic land uses. The structures will be restored/renovated to stabilize and preserve the buildings' interior and exterior. Renovations were completed in accordance with requirements to place the ranch on the National Register of Historic Places. Master planning has been conducted to determine if the property should include a public museum and interpretive center. By taking these steps, the Bureau of Land Management and UNLV promote the public appreciation of a historic site, preserve early 1930s architecture, and provide a venue for public education about the fragile ecosystems of the Mojave Desert.

Tracey has always enjoyed children and the wonder and excitement that they bring to life. She started her career in early childhood education thinking that she would be a teacher or daycare center director.
Life paths took her away from the school environment and towards working with individuals and families. She became interested in Family Therapy during her seminary years and after graduation worked in a local mental health agency. There she expected to work with couples and families but found herself with a caseload of children. At a workshop about therapy and children she rediscovered her passion for working with children again. Since then she has studied with Drs. Byron and Carol Norton, learning their model of Experiential Play Therapy, for treating children and families dealing with abuse. She is constantly amazed at the strength and desire for healing that children and adults have within themselves.
Tracey has worked in several mental health agencies and in private practice as a therapist working with children and families since 1990.
As a clinician, Tracey saw the importance of research for best practices in therapy. She is excited to be working in a research and teaching environment and wants to help facilitate research on families and children through the UK Family Center.

Future Of What
Moonstruck EP out 6/26/12
Future of What began in Brooklyn in January of 2012, when Blair was looking to add some new bass and treble to her attack. She had moved up from New Orleans in '09, had been playing around town under the name Blair, releasing her acclaimed LP, Die Young, in '10. Toured on it in '11 with drummer Seth, opening shows for bands like Neon Indian, Quasi, The Blow, Say Hi, and others. Blair met Sam (formerly of Chicago's almost heroes The Narrator) at a party on a Sunday afternoon, and they made plans. Sam brought his friend Max to the practice space. The four played their first show in February, opening a sold-out Mirah show. In March they recorded an EP, Moonstruck, without using any electric guitars or cymbals. The songs are keyboard-driven but the record isn't electropop or anything goofy like that—these are songs with a capital S. Now they're playing more shows and writing more songs, heading albumwards by the end of the year. Keep it down or break it out.

Shingle Springs residents are gearing up for a showdown over a proposed 1,000-home mega development off Mother Lode Drive.
The project, named San Stino, will have 1.6 units per acre over a 645-acre tract. Developer Joel Korotkin of San Stino LLP estimates the build-out could take several years, depending on market conditions.
But neighbors are launching a grass-roots effort to stop the proposal. They say the project is too dense and will threaten their rural lifestyle.
"The development is so large it will affect almost all Shingle Springs residents," said Frank Verdin, an organizer for No San Stino, one of two grass-roots groups opposing the development.
No San Stino and the Shingle Springs Community Alliance are asking the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors to halt review of the plan and for the developer to go back to the drawing board.
The county is in the process of preparing an environmental impact review, which will assess the project in terms of traffic, infrastructure and other factors. But officials caution that final approval is still far away.
"For this many lots, you're looking at 10 years or more before you achieve a full build-out," said Pierre Rivas, the county's principal planner.
The stiff opposition from the community has the developer on the defensive.
"We've been very open from the beginning," Korotkin said, noting that San Stino has already been scaled down from the original 1,300 houses proposed two years ago.
"If you think this is going to affect you, we want you to write a comment setting forth your concerns," he said.
El Dorado County's elected leaders are taking note of the growing chorus of criticism.
Supervisor Ray Nutting, who represents Shingle Springs, said he is "very aware" of the constituent backlash against the project.
"I'm very skeptical of the numbers," Nutting said. "My hope is that those numbers come way down. The developer needs to build trust with the community."
Korotkin said that he has followed the application process from the beginning and that the county had previously designated the land as an area for growth in the 2004 general plan.
The site has historically been a grazing ground for farm animals and is currently zoned as one home for every 5 acres.
Many in Shingle Springs live on plots of 1 acre or more, according to data from the county planning department. Community leaders have expressed concern that the large influx of people could upend the area's rural lifestyle.
"If you take 1,000 homes and multiply that by two, you're looking at 2,000 cars," said Verdin, whose home sits on 8 acres and is 400 feet from the development site. "Traffic is a huge concern. People have to drive because it's rural."
But Korotkin contends that he has made ample provisions to allow San Stino to fit in with the community, including creating a new road to minimize traffic and setting aside 42 percent of the land, or 270 acres, toward open space.
"It's a challenge, but I believe we can do this in a way that doesn't hurt Shingle Springs," he said.
The 30-day public comment period for the environmental impact report ended Friday.
The report is likely to be released by next spring.
Rivas, the county planner, doesn't expect the Board of Supervisors to vote on the project until mid-2014.
"You're looking at years off into the future," he said. "But the project tells me there is a positive outlook in the future of the economy."

My favorite category at the Oscars will always be the Best Animated Short Film. There's just something about how creative and quirky these shorts usually are that makes me so happy.
So every year, I do some investigating to find out more about these shorts. Here are my thoughts for this year's batch:
One interesting thing that's worth nothing- it appears as though none of this year's nominees have a word of dialogue…
1. Paperman (dir. John Kahrs): the obvious frontrunner. I've been in love with this ever since I first saw it in front of Wreck-It Ralph, and it deserves to win because it's just so heartwarming and adorable. The story is just simple enough to work, the visuals are amazing, and Christophe Beck's score is beautiful. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GoppD5x2Qk
EDIT: Ok, yeah. Wow. That's actually the most beautiful thing that came out this year. If this doesn't win, I'll be really upset.
2. Maggie Simpson in "The Longest Daycare" (dir. David Silverman): Aside from Paperman, this is the short that has probably gotten the most recognition. Because, well, it's The Simpsons. Even though it played in front of the fourth Ice Age film, it's actually really sweet and has that typical Simpsons humor. And there's a pretty nice score from my man Hans Zimmer. You can watch the full thing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KJ5SI_DZRo
3. Fresh Guacamole (dir. PES): I was actually surprised that this got nominated. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it. It's an incredibly unique concept, but at the same time it's just ridiculously simple. But still, there's some gorgeous sound design, and the visuals are pretty great too. You can watch it in full here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMO6vjmkyI
4. Adam and Dog (dir. Minkyu Lee): This looks like what would happen if Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki teamed up to make a film. Only the trailer is available, but it shows off some really stunning animation. You can watch said trailer here: http://vimeo.com/34849443
5. Head Over Heels (dir. Timothy Reckart and Fodhla Cronin O'Reilly): From what I can tell, this appears to be the most "dramatic" film of the bunch. While there will likely be humorous bits, the story will probably be, well, more of a drama at its core. It's about a broken marriage, for God's sake. Then again, I'm only basing this off of the trailer. Which you can watch here: http://vimeo.com/37604847

A 27-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Annandale, police said.
About 2:15 a.m. Thursday, officers were called to the crash. Fairfax County police said that Maximiliano Ponce-Cruz was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe northbound on Backlick Road when he failed to negotiate a curve prior to reaching John Marr Drive. The Chevrolet crossed the double-yellow line, left the road and struck a pole.
Ponce-Cruz, of Annandale, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene, police said.
Authorities are considering both speed and alcohol to be factors in the crash, and a preliminary investigation suggests that Ponce-Cruz was not wearing his seat belt.

RALEIGH, NC (AP) - Farmers and sheriffs are trying to influence North Carolina legislators before they consider a veto next week on a bill involving a federal database to ensure that new employees can legally work in the country.
Gov. Pat McCrory released comments Friday from several sheriffs who want his veto on HB 786 upheld, including Sheriff Chris Batten of Columbus County.
"We as law enforcement executives owe it to our citizens that have elected us to serve and protect them, to stand up for what is right, not just politically correct, and protect the citizens in our counties," Batten is quoted as saying in the email release from McCrory's office. "Let's take a stand and do what is right and support our governor. He has vetoed a bill that he felt would jeopardize the public safety which we are sworn to protect and it is my opinion we owe it to the citizens of our counties to support his decision."
Lt. Gov. Dan Forest also released a statement Friday, backing McCrory's veto of the Reclaim NC Act.
"The General Assembly wrote this law and they have the power and the numbers to override the veto. But I respectfully ask that they not do so," Forest said in the statement. "The Governor sees the same thing I see in the bill, a loop hole that will be exploited by some unscrupulous employers to reclassify non-agricultural workers as "seasonal" for the purposes of evading the E-Verify law. If we allow this loophole to stand, we are consenting to employers hiring illegal aliens in place of the North Carolina citizens we were sent here to represent. The General Assembly could accept the veto and correct the loophole in the next session. At the end of the day, the voting citizens of North Carolina will be the judge of us all. If this loophole stands, it happened on our watch and we are responsible. As Republicans we stand for the Rule of Law. It is who we are and what we believe. If we allow the Rule of Law to be circumvented in such an open fashion, we will be held accountable by the general public… and we should. As President of the Senate, I do not have a vote, unless there is a tie. If I could vote, I would vote to uphold the Governor's veto."
The North Carolina Farm Bureau and other agriculture groups want the veto overridden. They wrote letters to legislative leaders saying without the bill some crops may not be harvested and farms may close.

The tragic deaths of seven puppies in the cargo hold of an American Airlines jet in early August sparked outrage across the country and shed light on a serious defect in the way the Department of Transportation (DOT) has been tracking and reporting pet-related incidents on commercial flights.
Because the DOT interprets the relevant U.S. law (49 U.S.C. § 41721) as applying only to animals considered "pets," commercial airlines are not required to report losses, injuries or deaths of animals who are considered "not owned" at the time of their transport—this includes dogs shipped by breeders and puppy mills, as well as show dogs being transported by handlers.
In response, U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) have submitted a joint letter to Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, asserting that the DOT's "flawed interpretation of laws" has allowed reporting of many airline animal incidents—such as the deaths of the seven puppies in August—to "slip through the cracks." The senators propose that the DOT review and expand its definitions and regulations to better reflect the intent of Congress that all animal-related airline incidents be reported, regardless of the ownership status of the shipped animals.
The ASPCA would like to remind pet parents that shipping a pet in an airplane's cargo hold can endanger the animal's safety. Dog breeds with short or flat noses ("brachycephalic" breeds) like Pugs, Boxers and Bulldogs face particular risk—the DOT reports that these breeds represent about half the pet dogs who die in flight while being transported by their guardians as cargo. If you must transport your pet in this manner, please review our Air Travel Tips.
National radio personality Trey Morgan has long sought to give back to his community—but like many of us, he wasn't quite sure where to begin or how to make the time. Not one easily defeated by challenge, Trey took the initiative to create a campaign that would prove to both himself and his listeners, that volunteering can be easily done
On September 21, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team in conjunction with the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO) removed 71 dogs from an overrun puppy mill in Camden County, MO. The dogs—which include Dachshunds, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, Huskies and Boxers—were transferred to the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri in Springfield and HSMO in St. Louis, where they received medical treatment and will be cared for until they're ready for adoption.
"This case was unique in that the dogs were voluntarily relinquished by the kennel owner who could no longer afford to feed them," explains Tim Rickey, ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response. Last week the mill owner contacted a local rescue group, Half-way Home Pet Rescue in Cedar County, for help, and Half-way Home then reached out to the ASPCA.
"When breeders are no longer able to care for their animals, the problem lands squarely on the shoulders of local shelters," says Half-way Home's Latisha Duffy, who works closely with breeders in Missouri to find homes for retired breeding dogs.
Known as the "Puppy Mill Capital of America," Missouri is home to more than 3,000 commercial dog breeding facilities and provides more than 40 percent of all dogs sold in pet stores nationwide. "We see some of the worst conditions in Missouri puppy mills," explains Rickey. "The dogs, often very ill, are forced to live in overcrowded, filthy conditions."
In an effort to end the many cruelties associated with puppy mills, the ASPCA, a founding member of Missourians for the Protection of Dogs/YES! on Prop. B, is supporting Proposition B, also known as the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act. This landmark measure, which will appear on Missouri's November ballot, promotes the humane treatment of dogs in the state's large-scale commercial dog kennels. If passed, Prop B would limit the number of breeding dogs to 50 per facility, and would require large-scale breeders to provide sufficient food, water and space for the animals under their care.
To learn how to extend your support for Proposition B, please visit our Puppy Mill section on ASPCA.org.
For its latest music video, the popular band OK Go employed the services of some very cute co-stars. The video for "White Knuckles" features several rescue dogs, who perform alongside the band members in a carefully choreographed routine. To further show its appreciation of rescue dogs, OK Go is generously donating a portion of the sale of the video on its website to the ASPCA! Check out the video below, and help us send a big THANKS to OK Go!
The wait is officially over: The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption by Jim Gorant, an in-depth look behind the scenes of the Michael Vick case and "where are they now" account of the dogs rescued from his property, hit bookshelves nationwide on September 16. The Lost Dogs can be purchased at your local bookstore and through online retailers including Amazon.com. (Tip: If you purchase the book on Amazon.com using this link, the ASPCA will receive a small donation at no extra cost to you!)
Naturally, the ASPCA is excited about this book because of our firsthand involvement in the investigation—but having gotten our hands on an early copy, we're very happy to report that it is a terrific, compelling read for anyone interested in animal welfare, canine behavior, the evolution of animal protection laws or our country's criminal justice system.
Last month, we showed you where to get an advance look at the book on Parade magazine's website. That article proved so popular with readers that Parade enlisted the ASPCA's Pam Reid, Ph.D., CAAB, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Behavior Center, to pen a follow-up piece called "Top 5 Myths about Pit Bulls" that addresses the most common perceptions—and misperceptions—about this maligned and misunderstood breed.

Beyoğlu is the centeral destination of İstanbul for culture, shopping & entertainmet, which charm visitors with it's 24 hour lively atmosphere… Pera Rose Hotel is located in the Istanbul's business, shopping and entertainment center.
Pera Rose Hotel is 5 minutes walking distance away from the historical Galata Tower, World's oldest subway and 10 minutes away from Taksim Square…
Pera Rose Hotel's Address: Mesrutiyet Caddesi No. 87 Tepebasi, Beyoglu, 34430 Istanbul, Turkey – For Direct & Secure BOOKING!
During Bzyantine Empire the European side of Istanbul was named as Pera which meant "Opposite Side".
However, Turkish name for our location is "Beyoglu" and there are many speculations about the origins of the word. The most common known is while Emperor Kanuni Sultan Süleyman ruled Ottoman Empire Turks named this area as Beyoğlu because Venice consulate Andre Gritti's son Luigi Giritti resided in this area, and "Beyoglu" means a gentleman's son. Beyoğlu has characteristic of many civilizations and this can be seen in its historical buildings, Mosques, Churches, Synagogues, Bell Tower and sounds of Azan.

The Lanett Police Department says it has made its largest child pornography bust in decades after taking 68-year-old Paul Henry into custody.
Henry is now charged with 343 counts of child porn and 1 count of enticing a child.
Henry, who neighbors called "Paw Paw" lived in Fuller Mobile Home Park when authorities arrived and searched his residence on February 5.
Authorities with the Lanett Police Department, Chambers County Sheriff's Department, and Alabama Bureau of Investigation reported finding children's underwear in the home as well as pornographic magazines and videos. Also found were 346 child porn images and 4 child porn videos.
Following the search, Henry was arrested and transported to the Chambers County Detention Facility. He is being held without bond until he back be taken before a judge.
Authorities say if bond is set, Henry could see it posted at approximately $3.4 million, or $10,000 for each count.
Investigators are asking parents to come forward and notify them if they believe their children have had any contact with Henry.

Literacy (LITC) Student Learning Outcomes
Literacy for Special Needs Program(206) 296-5759Loyola Hall, Room email@example.com
For greatest flexibility for your graduate study, we admit students to the program every quarter. Application deadlines: May 20 for summer entry; July 20 for fall entry; November 20 for winter entry; and February 20 for spring entry.
Yes. The LITC programs are all designed for experienced, certificated teachers who can apply their strong background in teaching to their graduate study.
No. We have found that students need at least two years of full-time teaching in order to make the most of their educational experiences.
The programs are designed for working teachers who take one or two courses each quarter during the academic year and two or three courses in the summer. Courses in fall, winter, and spring quarters meet once a week in the evening. Some summer courses meet twice a week during the day. In our small and personalized program, the LITC courses are offered only once per year. Therefore, the program is designed for part-time students.
The program would like you to discuss the goals you have set for yourself as a professional and explain how you believe the LITC program will help you meet them. The statement of purpose helps us ensure that the program you have applied for will be a good fit for your professional goals.

The most important man in this photo might be Stu (Magnificent Bastard) MacGregor. He is to the immediate right of Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson and the only Oiler executive in the photo having a good year. MacGregor wasn't given physical gifts and isn't overly stylish (I own that tie, as a for instance) but the man does appear to be Midas (or something similar) at the draft table.
In the two drafts MacGregor has been the head man of the procurement department the Oilers have drafted Jordan Eberle and Magnus Paarjavi-Svensson. A re-draft of either year would most certainly elevate these two, and that could be the tip of the iceberg.
- 2009 2nd round pick Anton Lander showed very well at the World Junior championships and has already gained a reputation for being a responsible forward in the SEL.
- 2009 5th round pick Olivier Roy was a WJ invite and has recovered from a slow start to emerge as one of the QMJHL's best SP goalies this season.
- 2008 4th round pick Johan Motin is playing in the AHL and holding his own at age 20.
- 2008 6th round pick Teemu Hartikainen was among the best Finn's at the WJ's and could be that big forward Edmonton badly needs down the line.
MacGregor's two drafts have resulted in 12 names being called by the Oilers. Draft expectations break down like this:
- 2% turn into elite players
- 4% turn into impact players
- 15% turn into average NHL players
- 24% turn into fringe NHL players (less than 200 games)
- 55% never play an NHL game
Applying those numbers to MacGregor's list, we should expect no elite or impact players, 2 men should be expected to turn into average NHL players, and 2 more should be fringe players who play in fewer than 200 NHL games.
From the group of 12, we can safely break them down into the following categories:
- On Track: Eberle, Motin, Cornet, Hartikainen, MPS, Lander, Hesketh, Bigos, Rajala, Roy
- Off the Rails: Bendfeld, Abney
That's a pretty nice total. One quick note, I've listed both Bendfeld and Abney as mistakes because draft history tells us they were selected so far out of order that it can safely be considered an error the moment it occurs. No disrespect to either player, but one addressed need about 100 picks before necessary and the other player could have been signed after the draft (Bendfeld).
We'll talk more about MacGregor's open attitude towards Europe (compared to KP) and about his keen eye for skill early (1st round, Eberle and MPS) and his keen eye for more developed and complete talents (Lander, Motin) later; for now, I think it is enough to agree that the recent WJ's was an oppportunity for Oilers fans to see just how much progress has been made in the last two seasons.
With a total of 5 kids in the World Juniors (Eberle, MPS, Lander, Rajala, Hartikainen) and two others who made the Canadian WJ camp (Roy, Cornet), only 5 of MacGregor's drafts had no involvement in the process.
Of those 5, only two (Hesketh, Abney) were eligible. Both Bigos and Motin are 20, and Jordan Bendfeld is 21.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Flash Drive: 2009 Lexus LS460
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2012.
By Staff of MSN Autos
For around $80,000, one can expect to get a pretty sweet luxury sedan, and the LS460 definitely delivers. While it won't stand out in a crowd, the LS460 definitely looks the part of a flagship vehicle, with clean, sleek lines. Inside, the seats are comfortable and roomy, and there's plenty of wood and leather and all sorts of electronic goodies. Pairing my Bluetooth phone has never been easier — voice prompts walked me through the less than two-minute process. The V8 is strong and sounds good under hard acceleration, and the ride is smooth and quiet, but not all is perfect. The price paid for a cloudlike ride is that the driver is completely removed from the road. Brakes are extremely touchy and difficult to modulate, as if the pressure applied is not directly affecting the brakes. Steering is numb. And while you don't feel the bumps in the road, you don't really feel the road at all. There are multiple adjustments for the suspension and transmission. In fact, there are so many buttons in this car that I couldn't figure out what they were all for. Bottom line, the LS is a great luxury car, but not a driver's car. – Perry Stern
It is easy to see why Lexus always tops the JD Power satisfaction ratings. The LS460 is a perfect example of Lexus delivering on every customer's automotive desire. The interior of the LS460 is top-notch. From the fantastic seats, to the awesome Mark Levinson stereo, to the easy to use controls, Lexus makes the driving experience enjoyable. The car tested came with the all-wheel-drive drivetrain, which complemented the powerful V8 quite well. This is a heavy car with a strong engine, yet the 8-speed transmission helped it achieve 19 mpg in mixed driving. The rear seats had generous legroom, and when adjusting the optional power rear seats, you will feel like you have a comfortable La-Z-Boy chair inside your car. While Lexus can be accused of sterilizing the driving experience, it definitely builds one of the best all-around luxury sedans in the auto business. – Joe Chulick
Owner reviews of the LS460 on MSN Autos frequently label it the perfect car. Having driven it myself, I can see why. The new LS460 manages to be even more of what Lexus is most famous for: a mixture of performance and luxury with an enormous helping of quiet, for good measure. There is plenty of space for passengers and their luggage, including the most rear legroom I can remember on almost any car. From a performance perspective, the LS460 gently picks up speed but never feels out of breath when you need to pass another car on the freeway. –Paul Hagger

MULLINS, SC (WMBF) – The suspect identified in the shooting of a 64-year-old man near Mullins on April 1 has been taken into custody after a short police chase.
Marion resident Chauncee Malek Platt, 19, was wanted for attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
On Thursday, Platt led officers with the Marion County Sheriff's Office and the Combined Drug Unit on short foot chase, but was nabbed and charged in connection to the shooting.
According to the news release from the sheriff's office, a man was shot and hit three times at his home near Mullins on the afternoon of Monday, April 1. The victim told Marion County Sheriff's deputies that a young, tall, African-American man came to the door of his home on Willie Hodge Road at about 1 p.m.
The suspect fired four shots, the victim said, hitting him three times: in the arm, leg and abdomen.
The suspect then ran into the woods, and the victim was transported to the hospital, sheriff's officials stated in a news release.

While the stock market swoons (apparently because American consumers have curtailed spending with money they don't have or can't get), US corporations continue to show record profits. It turns out that a jobless recovery is really good for business. So why would there be any incentive to reverse the trend? This announcement foreshadows an even gloomier prospect. What entity is far and away the largest employer in the country? The Federal Government. Where will all these savings come from that the Congress is planning to put into place over the next decade? Less government workers. We have multiple waves of this to look forward to. You don't have to be an economist to figure out that if fewer workers are willing to do more work for less money, you're going to milk that cow as long as you can. And if the government would just get out of the way, this would all be so much easier.
Corporations don't have consciences, and guess what, neither do their executives.
Is it fair? It's a simple question any child would ask.

It's not all that astonishing to learn that the first half of the year ends with much of Minnesota above average on the water front. Let's face it, we all lived through it. Well, I was in South Dakota for most of it, but living just 10 miles from the Minnesota border I'd say I endured much of the snow and rain as well. But the great news from all of this wet, cool, and dreary weather is that the drought is now gone. The foliage is that very bright and vibrant shade of green, and we all can drive down the street knowing we have earned this. Here is a look back at some of the numbers of what we have seen for precipitation during the month of June and the first half of 2013.
Considering we are merely hours past June, I'm sure we remember how wet it was...although not all that unusual. Officially at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport, we finished the month with just over 5 inches of rain. Sounds like quite a bit, but we were not even an inch above normal. Granted, northern and western parts of the Metro and areas in the southeastern corner of the state experienced far more water, but many areas were actually within an inch either side of normal. The next two images show the actual rainfall amounts for June across the area and just how many inches from average we were.
It was a similar story across much of the region, although parts of extreme southeastern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois got hammered with very heavy rain to the point where monthly totals were nearly double what they should have been. But notice just how many yellow areas there are in the second image. Many spots of Iowa and Missouri and points westward ended up dry for the month. So our area could certainly use a break from the water, but many spots in the Plains and Front Range could use some more. Check it out below…
So we round out the half year wet… but that seems to be a trend right now as the first 6 months of the year have all been at or above average with precipitation. (Well, not entirely… officially January ended 0.04 inches below average, but we will let that one slide) Here is a look at the precipitation since January 1st.
Across the nation though it has really been a tale of two stories with plenty of water in the north and east and lots of drought in the south and west. Here are the actual precipitation totals from the U.S. through June 30th.
Now take a look at the percentage of precipitation compared to average. All of the blues and greens are above average and all the reds and yellows are below average.
This gives you a much better perspective when looking for above and below average areas when comparing several different climates because being an inch above average in say Yuma, AZ who only gets 5 inches of rain a year is a much bigger deal than being an inch above average in Jackson, Mississippi who averages nearly 60 inches of rain every year.

Getting started with porting
There are millions of lines of C and C++ code out there waiting to be ported to BlackBerry 10. With the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK, you can leverage that code and bring it to many eager users. The Native SDK provides useful tools and commonly used libraries that you can use to get your existing application running quickly and reliably on BlackBerry 10 devices.
It's important to keep in mind that BlackBerry 10 drives feature-rich and powerful devices, with capabilities that you may not have even considered for your application. For example, a desktop game written in C++ is not likely to include code that handles touch screen gestures or include logic to accommodate a virtual keyboard. You should also be aware of platform differences that can impact the libraries your application uses, so it's ideal to choose libraries that are open-source or that you have the source code rights for. Luckily, the Native SDK provides plenty of open-source libraries that have been tested on BlackBerry 10 to make your life easier. Your application should be programmed in C or C++, otherwise you'll need to convert languages as well.
- Full-touch devices: These devices use a touch screen as the only input method. They include a virtual keyboard that appears on the screen when keyboard input is required.
- Keyboard devices: These devices include a physical, QWERTY keyboard in addition to a touch screen. They have a smaller screen size than full-touch devices.
The Native SDK works on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms, so you can work in your favorite environment. Ideally, you should pick the platform that the software you want to port compiles on. For example, if your application is available for Linux, go ahead and use Linux as your development environment. Then, you are basically dealing with the differences between two POSIX compliant operating systems (Linux and BlackBerry 10), along with some additional hardware differences such as touch screens, lack of a physical keyboard, and so on.
After you select an appropriate application to port, it's a good idea to try to compile it in your development environment. If you can't build the project in an environment that supports it, you are unlikely to be successful porting it to BlackBerry 10.
Where should I begin?
If you want to learn how to port your app from a specific platform (such as iOS or Android) to BlackBerry 10, take a look at the porting guides that are included in the Gaming & Porting section:
- Porting apps from the Android NDK
- Porting apps from the BlackBerry PlayBook
- Porting apps from iOS
- Porting Qt applications
