Laid off? Get your finances in order
If you find yourself out of work, making some key moves quickly can help stave off financial difficulties. Here's how to minimize the pain.
A layoff can leave you frustrated, confused, distraught. You might panic at the thought of having to find a new job in this tough market. But a job loss doesn't have to mean that your expenses spiral out of control -- as long as you take the right steps to reposition your finances.
If you've recently been let go, you're not alone. Although the unemployment rate dropped below 8% in September, major layoffs have taken place this year. They include 8,700 employees from Pepsi, 9,000 from IBM and 14,200 from American Airlines. In September alone, U.S. employers announced plans to cut 33,816 jobs, according to outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
To get your finances in order, the first step is filing for unemployment. Most states facilitate the process by enabling people to apply online. The average unemployment benefit in 2011 was $300 a week, which may seem paltry compared with what you were previously making, but it at least helps lessen the load of your expenses. In most states, workers can receive unemployment benefits for up to 26 weeks. Because many former workers are experiencing long unemployment periods -- as of September, the average length of unemployment was 39.8 weeks -- some states have extended the benefits beyond 26 weeks.
To qualify for unemployment benefits, you had to have been let go from your job through no negligent action of your own. If you were fired, you can contest the termination with your state's Department of Labor, says Joe Heider, a certified financial planner for Rehmann Financial in Cleveland. Those who qualify for unemployment can expect to receive the first check in two to three weeks.
However, Christopher P. Parr, a certified financial planner and the president of Parr Financial Solutions in Columbia, Md., warns people not to get so comfortable with collecting unemployment that they don't push themselves to find new work.
Judy Haselton, a certified financial planner and the president of Harmony Financial Advisors in New York City, suggests people take a step back and sort their concerns into three categories:
- What they can control (e.g., discretionary spending)
- What they can manage (e.g., anxiety)
- What they can monitor (e.g., accumulation of debt)
"By addressing your fears and doing something about them, you'll reduce your stress level," Haselton says. "People have a hard time making good decisions when they're stressed out."
You can alleviate those fears by tightening your budget. If you haven't created a budget, you can build one using a free website like Mint.com, which syncs all your financial accounts in one place. Despite how unpleasant it may be, you need to separate your needs from your wants, and cut out discretionary spending. Not only will eliminating things like luxury shopping and premium cable TV help your budget, but it will also put you in the right mindset to save money elsewhere.
People can turn to an emergency fund to temporarily relieve financial pressure. Proper emergency funds contain three to six months' worth of cash to cover minimum monthly expenses. Yet nearly a third of Americans can't tap an emergency fund because they don't have one, Bankrate.com estimates.
Fortunately, those without an emergency fund have several ways to generate cash flow. One option that Heider suggests is for people to shift some of their money from stocks into fixed-income alternatives, such as bond funds. Although interest rates are low, bonds produce a steady source of income. If you don't have a rainy-day fund, says Heider, you can take any gains you've accumulated and invest them in a money-market account. Although they're currently yielding next to nothing, such accounts are a safe place to store money and draw from it to pay bills while you're unemployed, he says.
Part-time work is another viable option, so long as the time requirement doesn't hinder your search for a full-time job. The benefit of going through a temp agency is that it can expose you to more employers, who may be able to hire you if a full-time position opens up, says Mike Piershale, a certified financial planner and the president of Piershale Financial Group in Crystal Lake, Ill. One drawback of going through a temp agency is that you may get placed in a menial job in which you won't acquire new skills.
Health insurance is another area of concern. Fortunately, if your former employer offered health insurance, you can continue coverage through the Department of Labor's Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act program. The biggest drawback: COBRA can be expensive, since you have to pay the premiums previously covered by your employer. Monthly premiums can range from $300 to more than $600, estimates Steve Cassaday, a certified financial planner and the president of Cassaday & Company in McLean, Va.
If credit-card debt starts piling up, Heider suggests reaching out to your card issuer to see if it would temporarily accept a reduced-payment plan. "It's easier to negotiate with a credit-card company, assuming you have good credit and have been a loyal customer," he says.
As a last resort -- before you are forced to liquidate major assets like your car or house -- you can withdraw money from your retirement accounts. If you withdraw money from your 401k before age 59-1/2, you'll have to pay income tax on the amount you take out, you'll miss the tax-free growth you'd otherwise receive, and you'll likely get hit with early-withdrawal penalties. Withdrawing from an IRA before you turn 59-1/2 will also be costly, because you'll usually need to pay income tax and a 10% early-withdrawal fee. (Under special circumstances, the penalty-free withdrawal age is lowered on both 401k's and IRAs.)
The good news? Projections for job growth are promising: Moody's Analytics forecasts U.S. employers will add 5 million new jobs over the next two years. Says Cassaday, "I think the demand for employment is like a coiled spring right now, and I think we could have massive increases in employment over the next few years."
More from U.S. News & World Report:
If you were laid off in the last 4 yrs. your job has been redistributed to a third generation ( haven't worked for 3 generations) black welfare recipient. It's in the book "My fathers dream" by barry O'bama. If your a White Baby Boomer the movie 2016 is a must see, before you vote.

All the world's a stage – if only the job market were, too
When authors Tim Donahue and Jim Patterson looked at theater career books in publication, they quickly noticed that the lion's share were focused on actors. There's a simple problem with that: Most jobs in theater are in something other than acting.
With "Theater Careers: A Realistic Guide," Donahue and Patterson have attempted to create a thorough, data-driven analysis of the various careers in theater — from house manager to technical director, from marketing and beyond.
"I think my MBA background leads to a certain slant: wanting to talk about numbers and dollars, and not so much about feelings and art," explains Donahue, who was the director of marketing and development at the University of South Carolina's theater department until his recent retirement.
Donahue certainly delved deep into the numbers — employment statistics, specifically — perhaps more so than any book of this kind to date. But to find reliable data on theater majors, oddly, he had to turn to the National Science Foundation's 2003 Survey of College Graduates.
"The NSF is only interested in math and science, but they collect information on all majors. … On average drama majors make about $46,000 — this includes people at all stages of life," explains Donahue. "Fifteen percent of drama majors are making less than $15,000, and you might expect that. But seven percent of business majors are also making less than $15,000. So while a theater degree does carry risk, there is perhaps more risk in a 'practical' major than we once thought."
While Donahue was crunching the numbers, Patterson interviewed a number of theater professionals. He specifically sought out former actors who found meaningful work after their moment in the spotlight fizzled.
"We know, because of our experience in the theater, that actors are important — but in many ways, they're a minority of theater workers," says Patterson. "Just look at the credits on a solo or two-person show on Broadway: There are sometimes over 200 people employed on the production."

Greg has a high interest in Game programming and teaches three courses in this much sought after skill of entering students. He is involved in Robotics and teaches an introductory class and is developing a second course in this high interest and in demand field. He has also been involved in research revolving around 3 Dimensional Stereo projections using a passive polarization technique which involves dual DLP projectors and special polarized glasses that restrict the vision of each eye to the output of one of the projectors. Each projector show a slightly offset image of a scene or image and our brain is tricked into seeing this image or scene in three dimensions. As is usual, technology has changed and we can now use one projector to do the same image shifting as two projectors did in the past. He plans a demonstration of this at this year's SOAR (Southern Oregon Art and Research) event in the Spring. He currently is serving as Department Chair.

by Jody ReynoldsThe American Quarter Horse Journal
Vital Signs Are Good and Theresa Moran
Theresa Moran is thinking of bringing her new gold trophy back to the University of Southern California next week to prove to her professors that she had a good excuse for skipping class.
The college junior warned her professors she'd be competing November 12 in the amateur western riding finals at the 2013 AQHA World Championship Show.
It was time well spent. Theresa and her parents' famous Vital Signs Are Good precisely completed western riding pattern No. 3 ninth in the go order for the highest score of 234 and the AQHA world championship.
"She's the best! Love her!" Theresa said of "Lucy." "I just wanted to get through it and not hit the log. That was my biggest concern. She was super good. She was better than in the prelims. I was really excited."
Theresa attributes her successful relationship with Lucy to two things: riding and pampering.
"We give her a lot of time off and a lot of apples and peppermints at the barn," she said. "She's very happy and very spoiled. I ride her a lot myself and (AQHA Professional Horseman) Jason (Martin) watches, so that helps me know her really well."
Speaking of Jason, Theresa admits she gave him a huge scare as he watched her finals run from the stands.
"I almost stopped in my pattern at the very end, loping up the middle!" she said. "I almost gave Jason a heart attack. But I got her to keep loping. I almost gave myself a heart attack. My heart kind of stopped. But it was OK. I got through it!"
She commends her competitors for their successful rides.
"They're all so good, so I'm very very excited that I won," she said. "I'm friends with most of them. Darcy's (Reeve) in my barn, so I'm excited that she got second. I'm happy for everyone out there. They're all so nice."
Lucy has senior western riding next week with Jason. Theresa said it'll be easy to keep her ready to do her job:
"She's super easy. Just a light ride every day and lots of apples."
Lucy has been a successful participant of AQHA world championship shows since she won 2-year-old western pleasure in 2002.
It's your moment; make it last forever! Videos of individual runs and class finals from the AQHA World Championship Show are available for purchase atwww.aqha.com/mymoment. Plus, you can watch AQHA World Show video footage 24/7. This new service is optimized for Internet Explorer 10, Safari and most mobile Web browsers.

TJX profits as customer traffic rises
The operator of TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores said new apparel offerings helped its fourth-quarter results.
By: Zacks Equity Research
TJX Companies (TJX) said Wednesday that a newer clothing mix and increased customer traffic helped profit soar 17% in the fourth quarter.
The operator of Marshalls, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods stores reported adjusted earnings of 62 cents per share for the quarter ended Jan. 28. The earnings were in line with the Zacks consensus estimate.
Earnings for the full year were $1.99 per share -- in line with the Zacks estimate and 14% higher than the year before. The earnings also exceeded the company's earlier forecast of $1.19 to $1.23 a share.
Foreign currency fluctuations added 1% to the full-year earnings, but did not impact the fourth quarter.
The company updated its earnings outlook for fiscal 2013 to between $2.21 and $2.31 per share, an 11% to 16% increase over the prior year. The Zacks Consensus estimate puts 2013 earnings at $2.27.
For the first quarter, the company expects diluted earnings per share of 45 cents to 47 cents, a 15% to 21% increase over a year earlier. The Zacks consensus estimate for the quarter is 47 cents a share.
Quarterly details
Sales in the quarter grew 6% from a year earlier to $6.7 billion -- in line with the Zacks consensus estimate. Full-year sales grew 6% to $23.2 billion, also in line with the Zacks estimate.
Same-store sales increased 4% in the quarter, driven by same-store sales growth of 5% at Marmaxx, 6% at Home Goods and 2% at TJX Europe. Sales saw a 1% decline in TJX Canada. Sales in Canada and Europe were impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
TJX's gross margin expanded 30 basis points from the prior year quarter to 27.4%. The margin expansion was mostly driven by buying and occupancy leverage. However, this was partially offset by flattish merchandise margins.
Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales increased 20 basis points from the prior year to 15.8% in the fourth quarter.
TJX had $1.51 billion in cash at the end of the quarter, down from $1.74 billion a year earlier. Long-term debt was flat at $774.5 million, with shareholders equity of $3.21 billion. The company generated $1.92 billion in cash from operations.
The company repurchased $12.5 million in common stock in the quarter (adjusted for the two-for-one stock split) at a cost of $402 million. For the full year, the company repurchased 49.7 million shares (also adjusted for the split) at a cost of $1.4 billion.
Our take
We are encouraged by the company's flexible off-price business model, which allows it to react to market trends. TJX has a low cost structure compared to other traditional retailers, and it focuses aggressively on expenses throughout its business.
However, the highly competitive nature of the business is a matter of concern. Stiff competition from Kohl's (KSS) and Target (TGT) coupled with slow recovery of the U.S. economy are matters of concern.
Currently TJX holds a Zacks No. 2 rank, implying a short-term "buy" recommendation. On a long-term basis, we maintain a "neutral" rating.

The small and tranquil town of STAVELOT rambles up the hill from the River Amblève. It grew up around its abbey, which ran the area as an independent principality until the French revolutionary army ended its privileges at the end of the eighteenth century. The town was also the scene of fierce fighting during the Ardennes campaign of the last war, and some of the Nazis' worst atrocities in Belgium were committed here.
These days it's a pleasant old place, the pretty streets of its tiny centre flanked by a battery of half-timbered houses that mostly date from the eighteenth century. The best time to be here is for its renowned annual carnival, the Laetare, first celebrated here in 1502 and held on the third weekend before Easter, from Saturday to Monday evening; the main protagonists are the Blancs Moussis, figures of which you'll see adorning various Stavelot houses. There are also festivals of theatre and music in July and August respectively, with performances in the abbey buildings.Read More
Just outside Francorchamps, the race circuit of Spa-Francorchamps is renowned as one of the most scenic and historic venues in the motorsports world. Formerly a 14km-long road circuit, races used to take in the whole of the surrounding area, to Malmédy and Stavelot and back, but now those towns serve as dormitories for the thousands who come here to enjoy the racing every year. The highlight by far is September's Belgian Grand Prix, but the circuit is busy almost every day between March and November, hosting all kinds of events, some of which are free. Anyone can visit, and most of the time there's free access to the paddock and pit lane, as well as the panoramic top-floor brasserie. It's also possible to see more of the circuit – the media centre and race control room, for example – by way of the regular guided tours that are run on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 2pm (t087 29 37 00, whttp://www.spa-francorchamps.be).
The Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens
The Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens
To the east of Spa, the pleasant but unexceptional little town of Eupen is the capital of the German-speaking region of Belgium, or Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens, a pint-sized area pushed tight against the German border that's home to around 75,000 people and enjoys the same federal status as the other two linguistic areas of the country. Once part of Prussia, the area was ceded to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I in 1919, but German remains the main language (and is still spoken somewhat in neighbouring Malmedy and other areas), and the area has its own tiny parliament and government. Eupen itself certainly has a distinctive Rhineland feel, but that aside there's precious little reason to visit.

In 2010, Cyclone Laila destroyed 20,000 hectares of crops and forced 50,000 people from their homes in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. However, fears also surfaced of increased trafficking of young people.
Ed Kiernan travelled out in July 2010 to investigate the issue. Around 40 per cent of all young people trafficked in the world are from India; of those, around 60 per cent come from Andhra Pradesh. But it is not the region's sole problem.
A lack of education and job opportunities – particularly for females – has led to poverty and sex work; a factor that has supported the booming child trafficking industry as their families and the authorities fail to offer proper protection.

MOL purchases a 19.61% long term investment in TVK, the leading Hungarian petrochemicals company
In accordance with the regulations of the Hungarian Securities Act and the relevant Budapest Stock Exchange rules, MOL, the leading Hungarian oil and gas company, announced today that it has purchased a 19.61 per cent strategic investment in TVK Rt., the leading petrochemicals company in Hungary. MOL has purchased this shareholding on the Budapest Stock Exchange as well as through OTC trades and has paid a total of HUF 16.6 bn for the shareholding, at an average price of HUF 3,412 per share.
MOL has acquired this strategic investment in TVK to protect its commercial interests. TVK is a major customer of MOL`s Duna and Tisza refineries which supply TVK with most of its feedstock requirements, equivalent to around 1 million tonnes of naptha per annum.
Following the acquisition of this shareholding, MOL is now one of the largest shareholders in TVK and intends to seek representation in the management and governing bodies of TVK.
MOL has no current intention to make an offer for the remaining shares in TVK.
Commenting on the acquisition of this shareholding, Mr. János Csák, Chairman of the Board of Directors of MOL, said today:
"We are currently reviewing all our strategic options and we believe that this investment in TVK complements the other opportunities we are considering. MOL sees this investment in TVK as a good opportunity to develop a strong refinery and chemical alliance with TVK, which we believe will be in the interest of MOL shareholders. MOL intends to seek representation on the Board of TVK and participation in the management of the company to protect its commercial interests in TVK."
TVK is the leading petrochemicals producer in Hungary, and also has strong regional sales capabilities. MOL is the major supplier of TVK, selling around 1 million tonnes of chemical feedstock to the Tiszaújváros based company, whose plant is adjacent to MOL`s Tisza refinery. In 1998, MOL sold raw materials with a value of HUF 28 bn to TVK while it purchased materials from TVK with a value of approximately HUF 10 bn. TVK reported a net income of HUF 11.8 bn on net sales of HUF 86.0 bn in 1998.

Thanks to Team AmVets, he was able to secure a house with all the furnishings. Fox 11 News was there when Team AmVets showed
up with a truck filled with furniture.
Perez had this to say, "I'm excited! I can not put it into words.
This means a lot to me and it means a lot to my family. It's

East Lyme — A Bridgeport man was killed this morning when he was ejected from his SUV after it went airborne and hit a highway sign and a large tree on Interstate 95 just south of Exit 74.
Danny Davis, 49, was found 25 feet away from the Chevy Trailblazer in a wooded area after the 7:07 a.m. crash. He was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to state police, Davis was driving north on the highway about a half-mile south of Exit 74 when he drove off the road, hitting a reflector post. He then came back onto the road, then left it again, this time striking a concrete drainage culvert. The SUV went airborne striking the Exit 74 sign knocking it from its concrete stand and then hitting a large tree. The SUV came to rest about 50 feet off the road.

Real Estate

Record snowfall last season spelled trouble for many roofs and parking garage decks. The continuous storms that dumped more than 2 ft. of snow in New England alone had facility owners frantically addressing weight load issues as heavy snow and ice threatened, and in some cases caused, roof and deck top collapses. The fallout: a rise in lawsuits as owners, insurance companies and snow contractors battle over snow and ice procedures followed, or not, in comparison with written contracts.

I love this movie—one of Hitchcock's best IMHO. There are many memorable characters, superbly played. The plot is thick, and gets denser as you go, and the final minutes are as stirring as anything in film.

You'd have been forgiven for thinking you were not actually in sunny California, but perhaps Chicago, Detroit or somewhere not altogether unfamiliar with ice and below freezing temperatures.
With the typical Spartan Race rain on the Saturday and the malevolent grin of glinting frost and ice beckoning the competitors to the start line on Sunday, the elements had already conspired to make the competitors suffer.
With many regular faces descending on Malibu from all corners of the country, the all-too familiar feeling of a reunion in was in full force. However, once stepping over that start line, all friendships were put temporarily on hold. Tellingly, a water obstacle again proved to be the undoing of Hobie Call as he only briefly misjudged a plan of attack. This merest hint of a chance was something Hunter McIntyre exploited and punished by pushing past and snatching first place by only 33 seconds. Brakken Krakker took third place by crossing the line only just over a minute after Hobie, proving just how tight the men's elite class is now. It seems as though every race is now a guarantee for a nervous and exciting fight for 1st place.
The female elites didn't fail to add to the tension, either. Rose Wetzel (1st), Lauren Ho (2nd) and Tiffanie Novakovich were separated by only just over 3 minutes. The female elites are crashing through into 2014 with higher rates of training and motivation than ever before, so it was unsurprising that numbers into double figures were finishing faster than some male elite runners. Competition has never been fiercer!
Away from the professionals the Spartan Race inspiration machine was in full force. Travelling over 7 hours to make the event to represent the ever-present and all-conquering Weeple Army (taking their 8th biggest team win), Mathew Webb crushed the course despite having the "minor inconvenience" of having had no legs since being only 18 months old. Making jokes that the water in the lake was so cold that he couldn't feel anything below the knee, he powered through failing only the spear throw."Overcoming Obstacles" was led by Slosh Pipe champion Kevin Kierce. Containing competitors Michael Aygin, Brian Tom, Michael Yu, Durrell Johnson, James Mogana, Joel Senteno, (who are all hard of hearing or blind) and previous Spartan Race blog subject Misty Diaz who battles Spina Bifida, they all went through the course in a flurry of high-fives from well-wishers and a volley of "AROO!" chants. Accompanying Kevin was his 74 year old mother, Linda Barber. Together, this one group alone pushing the fact that there are simply no valid excuses.
Team SISU,led by Daren De Heras made multiple loops of the course over the weekend, choosing to continue their Death Race ethic by carrying logs, tires and wearing elevation masks in order to make "things more interesting".
From Hollywood, actors Tony Besson – making his third Spartan Race appearance – and Josh Peck ran in a wave shortly before Eric Colley fromTMZ made his debut at the start line.
As 2014 winds down to a close, Texas will see thousands of Spartan descend on Glen Rose where host the last race of year. Spartan Race will see out 2013 with a Beast and the last chance to qualify for a Trifecta before the new season starts in January. Will you be one of them?

--Biess plans to issue bonds with maturities between one and seven years
--Investment banks have suggested an interest rate of between 7% and 7.5%
--Biess thinks 6% is an appropriate interest rate for any debt sale
--Biess also has about $4.3 billion in state bonds
By Mercedes Alvaro
QUITO, Ecuador--The banking arm of Ecuador's state-run pension fund, known as Biess, may issue $200 million of debt this year.
If a placement goes ahead, it will mark the first time the government has tapped international capital markets since defaulting on about $3.2 billion in Global 2012 and 2030 bonds in 2008.
"The country is ready to return to international markets," Biess's general manager, Efrain Vieira, said in an interview Monday with Dow Jones Newswires.
The possible debt issue was earlier discussed publicly but was put off as Ecuador was expected to have to offer a very high yield.
Mr. Vieira said Biess has held talks with several banks, including Citigroup Inc. (C), Credit Suisse Group AG (CS, CSGN.VX), Morgan Stanley (MS), UBS AG (UBSN.VX, UBS) and Deutsche Bank AG (DB, DBK.XE) about the debt sale, although there is no formal agreement with any of them.
Officials from those banks couldn't be reached for comment.
"We are talking. Our aspiration is to issue the bonds before the end of this year, but it will also be part of an internal agreement with the finance ministry to define interest rates and conditions," Mr. Vieira said.
"The issue must be framed within an overall strategy, otherwise the interest rate could create distortions or difficulties with other sources of funding that the government has," he added.
The Biess plan is to issue bonds with maturities of between one and seven years, backed by its investments in debt, especially of future cash flows, made by local companies or units of foreign companies rated AAA on the Ecuador's stock exchanges.
Ramiro Crespo, head of Quito-based investment bank Analytica Securities, said Ecuador could return to international markets with the issue, but it will depend on the signals the country sends that would reduce risks for investors.
According to Mr. Vieira, investment banks have suggested an interest rate of between 7% and 7.5%, but Biess thinks 6% is an appropriate yield.
With a fund of about $9.1 billion, Biess is a very important player in the financial market as well as an important source of funding for the Ecuadorean government.
"Since we began operating, in October 2010, we have injected about $6.5 billion to the Ecuadorian economy," Mr. Vieira said of Biess.
Currently, Biess is funding hydroelectric, oil-sector and other projects.
Biess also holds about $4.3 billion in state bonds.
It plans to buy more state debt valued at about $300 million this year.
Biess holds 60% of the mortgage loans in the Ecuadorean market. For 2013, it plans to disburse $2.4 billion in mortgage loans and consumer loans.
This year, Biess also plans to increase its holdings in stakes of big private companies like supermarket chain La Favorita CA.

Montane Prism Jacket - Small, perfect condition, bought new last month for Ł100, should have got a medium and no longer have receipt to return it so selling for Ł65 (including postage).
Rab Generator Vest - Small, perfect condition, had for about 3 months but soon realised no man needs 2 vests so selling for Ł55 (again including postage).
Haglofs Mid Fjell Pant - Large, great condition, hardly used. Originally owned no outdoor trousers so went crazy and bought 4 pairs, again realised no man needs 4 pairs of black walking trousers so selling for Ł55 (yet again, postage included).
Haglof Trousers (not sure of exact model) - Medium, good condition. Selling on behalf of a friend, owned for about 2 years but still in good condition, looking for Ł35 (shouldn't have to mention postage by now).
Email me on firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions, heard some people have had issues with mail on here.
Payment by bank transfer, easy, quick and no charges unlike paypal.

How to Take Your Own Screenshots
Screenshots. Sometimes they're all we have to go on for information about a hotly anticipated game. But our fascination with them doesn't stop after a game is released. Shots of a game in action represent badges of honor -- accomplishments that can create awe and envy. So many times, I've pulled off odd or incredible feats in a game with no way to share my experiences. I've often thought about taking my own screenshots, so I did some research. Preserve your own moments of glory by following these kinda-simple steps.
1. Hook it up and pass it along. Things will be considerably easier if you're attempting to capture on a computer. Tons of inexpensive or even free software applications, like Topaz Moment or My Screen Recorder, will record whatever's happening on your screen, including gameplay. Many will have built-in editing tools, too, so feel free to skip to Step 3.
Now, the process gets more complicated if you're taking video from a television hooked up to a console. You need to get the video signal from the television to your computer. The easiest way is the pass-through method. You'll need a digital video (DV) camcorder with analog inputs and a FireWire digital output. Many DV cameras use FireWire, so this shouldn't be a problem. Run audio-video cables from your TV into the camcorder and connect it to your computer via FireWire. Some products, like Pinnacle's Dazzle Video Creator Plus or Video Capture for Mac, come with both hardware and software. Very important: Be careful not to trip over anything.
2. Capture the frag. This stage requires an application that will do the actual video capturing. Apps like iMovie on the Mac and Movie Maker on Windows PCs will recognize when a DV camera is attached, and will give you the option to record. Play as you normally would, except with, y'know, less sucking.
3. Clip it good. Once you've got enough sufficiently face-melting footage edited into a clip that you like, it's time to pull out still images. Again, many video editing programs will have this function. Some, like Apple's QuickTime, will let you save those still pictures in a variety of different formats.
Keep in mind that, as a result of using analog video, the fruits of your labors may not necessarily be as sharp as the screenshots game publishers send to Web sites. But your screens will have something they can never capture. Heart, soul, determination and, yes, teabagging.

Nice tips. This are really good. I will definitely try this. - Brenda Lee Reed

Chaz Bono Still Dancing For 'Exercise & Fun'; Picks 'Dancing With The Stars' Winner
Chaz Bono might not have taken home the mirrorball trophy during his season on "Dancing with the Stars," but the activist and reality TV star sure caught the dancing bug!
"I miss it a lot. I loved doing that show. It's such a great show — the camaraderie, everyone who works on it," he told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday's Access Hollywood Live. "I go back as much as I can and sit in the audience."
In addition to rooting on the current crop of "DWTS" contestants," Chaz is still shaking it on a regular basis on his own.
"I am still dancing, I can't let it go!" he said. "Just once a week for exercise and fun. I'm taking the time to get all the basics down."
So who does Chaz think has a chance of taking home the "DWTS" trophy this year?
"I think who could take it home is William [Levy]. The women just love him," he told Billy and Kit.
On Saturday, the activist/author will be honored by GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award for making made a difference in promoting equality.
"For me, a transgender man, there's still so little known about us. And for me to get out there and be on TV, it might be the only chance somebody has out there to get to understand a little bit about this issue," Chaz, who is the first transgender person to ever receive the award, explained.
Adding, "This was probably one of the greatest years of my life."

Customer Reviews
Excellent ammo in all of my Glocks and my Sub 2000. Have purchased these GS +Ps many times. Great stuff.
The most reliable in my Kimber Solo.
Well, what can I say... I haven't tested this on any bad guys and I don't have any ballistics gel. But, it feeds well and is reliable and accurate. I trust my life with it. Be sure your firearm is rated for +P before using this. The benefits of +P ammo are not worth risking using it in a firearm not specifically rated for it, even though you may get away with it.
This ammo is great, never had any fail to fires and very clean. The best ammo for the price.
Thay where on sale for half price couldn't pass it up for a few boxes
Excellent and reasonably priced personal defense ammo. I have shot over 80 of these rounds these in three different 9mm pistols and I never had any misfire, FTJ or FTF issues.

Anyone else having a crush on MTV's (yeah, it's a really weird world we live in O_o) AWKWARD ? I just found out about and finished the 2 season in three days :3 Who would have thought MTV, could give something so sharp-written and funny realistic. Defenitely, THE crush of the summer *.*
MTV has been going up in terms of quality slowly, through this year(case in point - the awesomeness that is Teen Wolf). It certainly surprises me sinec that channel is pretty much kitsch central.
As for Awkward. I can only use on word to describe it - generic. Now that does not mean it is necesarily bad or horrible - it is not. it has decent actors and plot writing....Its just so...derivative and done to death in other shows before, capitalizing on the "suicide attempt changes" life theme, which exploded into all mediums after 1998's novel, "Veronica Decides to Die".
