Yoni Milan - Yoni Dosha - Yoni Kuta - Yoni Dosha in Kundli
Each human being on this earth is related to some or the other Yoni. Yoni have a special significance in Vedic astrology. They are classified on the basis of 28 Nakshatras.
Maharishi Atri believed that Yoni of Nakshatra of a bride and groom should be same for a successful married life. A couple with same Yoni possess same qualities which reduces the chances of conflicts and disharmony in a relationship.
Yoni are of 14 types and two Nakshatras belong to each Yoni.
Classification of Yoni on the basis of Nakshatra
|Ashwini, Shatbheesha
|Bharanu, Revati
|Pushya, Kritika
|Rohini, Mrigsheera
|Mool, Arda
|Ashlesha, Purnavasu
|Magha, Purvaphalguni
|Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Bhadrapad
|Swati, Hasta
|Vishakha, Chitra
|Jyeshtha, Anuradha
|Purvashada, Sharavana
|Uttarashada, Abhijeet
|Purva Bhadrapad, Dhanishtha
Five types of relationships between Yoni and nakshatras are provided below :
Swabhava Yoni
Swabhava Yoni indicates that the boy and the girl both belong to same Yoni. Such marriage is considered to be auspicious.
Friend Yoni
Friendly Yoni indicates harmonious relationships between the couple.
Neutral Yoni
If both bride and groom both belong to neutral yoni then the married life is likely to be average.
Opposite Yoni
If bride and groom are placed in the opposite Yoni, then the marriage is not considered auspicious.
Enemy Yoni
If the bride and groom have enemy Yoni, then they should not marry each other because this relationship may create problems in the married life.
Points for Yoni Milan
Yoni milan, Yoni Dosha or Yoni Koot have been allocated 4 points.
- When both groom and bride have same Yoni then result will be 4
- When groom and bride have friendly Yoni then result will be 3.
- When groom and bride have neutral Yoni then result will be 2.
- When groom and bride have opposite Yoni then result will be 1.
- When groom and bride have enemy Yoni then result will be 0.
Yoni milan is traditionally used to match the horoscope of bride and groom for the purpose of marriage. But, it can also be used in matters of partnership in business or relationship between employee and employers. People with neutral Yoni are similar in nature. It is seen that they have similar values and interests also.
Effects of Yoni Dosha
- If two people have yoni dosha in their horoscope then it can be corrected if the lord of their songs are friends and behave like friends of each other.
- If lord of the sign of the bride and groom belongs to the same planet then also this defect can be corrected.
- If the lords of their Navmansh are friendly with each other then Yoni defect gets cancelled.
- If Bhakoot is pure in the birth-chart of the bride and groom then also this defect gets cancelled.
- Vashya shuddhi or Vashya milan also cancels the defect.

My date of birth is 16/05/1985, place of birth is udaipur and time of birth 7.40 A.M. And my marriage fixed with a girl, whose details are DOB 06/09/1990 , TOB 8.00 A.M, place Sagwara River.
During the kundali milan, there are 30 gunas are matched, but on the section of yoni we earned 0 points. Is that a serious problem with this yoni mismatch. Because still we both are talking on phone, and there is too much quarrel between both of us.

Yesterday Headstream spoke at Brand Republic's 'Driving and Proving Social Media Value' event (#SMVevent). Here's what grabbed our attention…
Social media measurement – are we nearly there yet?
Consensus on how to measure social media's effectiveness remains some way off amongst UK based marketers, if yesterday's Social Media Value Event in London is a guide. Despite this ongoing, we'd say perennial, challenge there was undimmed optimism around the power of social media to reach people, and achieve interaction in new and unexpected ways.
Dan Brooke, TV veteran and Channel 4's Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, neatly summed up this dichotomy. He eulogised social media as the "stairway to heaven" for Channel 4, where heaven is "viewers watching and engaging with our programming". Taking examples from the Purple Cow Udderbelly user generated video campaign, and the Black Mirror spoof campaign, he outlined how C4 is using Facebook for pre and post transmission awareness, and using Twitter to engage during shows. However, when it comes to putting a definitive figure, or value, on the effect of this activity Brooke's view was – "It's hard to say".
Channel 4 are tracking some interesting metrics. Of all UK Tweets about television programming C4 reckons 20 to 30% are about programmes on its channels, which is ahead of its 11% viewing share. Brooke has also commissioned an econometric study to examine ROI of social media. While this showed that ROI was "very high" (due primarily to comparison with higher cost traditional paid media activity) the figures are too low to be statistically significant. So, for the moment Brooke continues to believe in, and invest in, social on the basis that "in our bones we know it (social) is a fair trade wind for us."
What's inevitable in his view is that "TV is going to move closer to social, and social is going to move closer to TV" through innovations like Zeebox and Samsung Smart TV and their successors. As the social TV experience becomes increasingly integrated Brooke believes it will help his industry "analyse the cause and effect of social."
Across the course of the day the desire amongst brand budget holders for a consistent and widely understood way to measure social's effectiveness was apparent. But the conclusion, as summed up by Brooke and other speakers, was that anyone looking for a quick fix is going to be disappointed.
Baastian Ellen, Director of Social Media at Hotels.com, said that for him the challenge is to evolve current analysis methods that focus on 'last click wins', and create ways to track a customer's online journey all the way along the sales funnel, and determine how social media contributes each step of the way. This is a common goal, particularly amongst online only businesses.
So what is Headstream's view? We believe assessment of social performance has to become more rigorous and forensic, focusing on the strength of interaction, rather than scale, buzz or reach. We have established a methodology to do this across a brand's overall social performance, through our Social Brands 100 initiative.
For specific pieces of social marketing and communications activity the key success factor is establishing the right objectives at the outset, and not confusing outputs e.g. increased following, Retweets, with outcomes e.g. product sold, brand recall/awareness improved.
Starting with a clear understanding of the marketing communications objective that is being pursued, and how it links back to an underlying business challenge is key. This can then be turned into a campaign goal which is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Realistic and Time bound). Only when these fundamentals are established should the creative concepts and tactics be developed.
As the concepts and tactics are being created the appropriate metrics and KPIs that will enable us to tie the activity back to the SMART goal are agreed, and appropriate tracking tools and benchmarks established. This approach avoids the common mistake of making a 'metric' e.g. conversation rate on FB, number of Likes, an objective in its own right. This means you can report back to your board that the activity created xx of sales/consideration/leads, contributing to an underlying business goal, all proved by appropriate metrics and tracking. This is going to have much more impact than reporting that Facebook fans have doubled (!), and will build the case for further social media activity.
What methods have you used to prove the effectiveness of social media within your organisation? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

MCP - Microsoft Certified Professional
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) is the term used to describe an individual who completes a professional certification program by Microsoft. Microsoft certifications train individuals on implementing Microsoft products into practical business environments.
This basic level of certification is the first step to receiving any advanced Microsoft certification. A single exam is required, costing approximately $125 US dollars and generally taking between 2 and 3 hours to complete.
There are many branches of technological services that build off this basic Microsoft Certified (MC) certification; IT Professional (MCITP), architect (MCA), professional developer (MCPD), technology specialist (MCTS), systems administrator (MCSA), systems engineer (MCSE), solution developer (MCSD) and database administrator (MCDBA). Each branch builds off the competency and knowledge of Microsoft products and technology.

Packing the benefits of pressure cooking into a countertop oven is a pretty clever idea. Chef Puck's oven isn't perfect, and at $249 it isn't for everyone, but crafty home cooks will nonetheless appreciate its performance.
An Internet Explorer 8 vulnerability goes unfixed by Microsoft for more than half a year, reports the Zero Day Initiative.
The White House explains the government's process when deciding whether to withhold knowledge of a security vulnerability -- "There are legitimate pros and cons to the decision to disclose."
While saying that most vulnerabilities should be revealed, the White House allows some flaws to be kept secret in the event of "a clear national security or law enforcement need," the New York Times reports.
A Bloomberg report says the agency knew about the Heartbleed security flaw that's sent sites like Google scrambling to patch their systems -- but it kept it secret and used it to spy. The agency, however, says that's not so.
Thousands of dollars have been awarded to bug hunters for the Chrome 34 release who reported 31 flaws, 19 deemed critical.
This Samsung upright has suction power, but lacks versatility
A boy works out how to get into his dad's Xbox Live account without a password. Microsoft not only plugs the flaw but appoints Kristoffer Von Hassel as a security researcher.
Mobile security remains a struggle: CanSecWest calls attention to flaws in Android and BlackBerry 10, while a newly discovered encryption weakness in iOS 7 could put iPad and iPhone owners at risk.
Claims of security hole involving SD cards don't paint an accurate picture, say the makers of the popular chat app.

Shade Perennials Presentation
Saturday, September, 20, 2014
This presentation By Mark Dwyer, Director of Horticulture at Rotary Botanical Gardens in Janesville, WI, will focus on a few shade plants that are good performers, not just new plants that have not been trialed. The adage, "All new plants are not good and all good plants are not new" holds true, especially for shade plants.
Defining shade garden conditions
It is most important to define what shade is when questioned about shade plant recommendations. There are many types of shade situations, such as dappled shade, indirect sunlight, morning sunlight, midday sun, or evening sunlight. Available light and the intensity change throughout the day and through the growing season all matter
There are countless gradations to be considered. Soils are also an important factor in choosing plants; soil types vary from rich, moisture retentive to competitive, dry soils. Consumers need to know a plant's preferences for light, soil moisture and maintenance. Are they willing to provide extra irrigation or soil modifications to improve conditions for the plant? For example, it may take many years of amending soils to achieve desirable conditions for moisture-sensitive plants.
Know the plant and understand its needs. What light intensity does it prefer, and what will it tolerate? What is the pH and preferred soil type? What is the preferred soil moisture level; will it tolerate root competition? Does the plant have special needs: deadheading, frequent division, staking? Will it be a clump-former, or will it spread?
Mark Dwyer – Biography
Mark has been the Director of Horticulture at Rotary Botanical Gardens in Janesville, WI for the past 16 years. He directs the continued maintenance and improvement of this 20 acre botanical resource with a talented grounds staff and many dedicated volunteers. Mark previously worked at Fernwood Botanical Garden (Niles, MI) and as a landscape designer in Appleton, WI. Mark has degrees in landscape architecture (University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana) and urban forestry (UW-Stevens Point). Mark's true passion is obtaining, growing, observing and photographing all types of plants.

It was great! I fixed it for my mom and aunt. It was yummy. I did not have any buttermilk so I dipped it in an egg and a milk mixture, then dredged it in cornmeal. I had some leftover corn on the cob, so I cut it off and diced about 1/2 tsp of jalapeno pepper in the corn with a tsp. sugar, warmed it up and layered it on the bed of lettuce to give the salad some additional color. Yum I would do this again and again. So many ways to fix it.

Looks like it will be back to cash.
Too Big To Fail – DSitz
If BA charges to use a debit card I will close my account immediately.
When Netflix raised their prices I closed my account the same day.
This is the direct result of Dodd – Frank protecting the consumer
If this happens I will be pulling my accounts from BofA immediately. I have been debating whether to switch my finances over to USAA, and this makes the decision quite simple.
This is old news in that RegionsBank and SunTrust have made similar announcements. Credit unions are eager for your business, but be forewarned – they don't have as robust a network of ATMs.
And banks wonder why so many people are using credit unions….
Bank of America, the bank of fraud, should continue to lie, cheat and steal money from its customers the old fashioned way. I hope they go out of business soon and throw the liars in jail.
The banks will lose in the long run, but the real culprit is the government and their intrusion into our lives. A word of advice to any of you who have Canadian relatives and you are involved in their finances in any way, be very careful. We are experiencing major problems in this area and are having to turn everything over to Canadian residents on a family member's finances due to the IRS and new government rules. Apparently, the Canadians are furious over our government's intrusion. Remember those unintended consequences!
Unfortunately, we the customers are always the losers when businesses come under pressure. While the government's efforts to protect merchants from the high interchange or "swipe" fees they paid (by charging we the customers higher prices) for accepting debit cards, it's the customers who now have to pay more with these new fees from the banks. Our government should hae anticipated this and worked on a better solution that truly would have been a win-win for all parties. More and more regulations hurts us, the customers.
They have to be able to pay for the politicians they have bought
What a collection of sleazy catamites of Mammon. Nobody in his right mind would do business with these people, and the bank should have been deconstructed two years ago, with the principals put behind bars. Smart people bank with local banks that don't get in trouble and then try to pickpocket their way into solvency.
thanks for price fixing, mr. durbin!! so glad that this critical financial legislation that had nothing to do with the financial crisis, will now cost us customers more money.
USAA will also refund all my ATM fees, which BofA never did.
I guess I will Be Closing My account when the five goes into affect I was Doing Direct Deposit it was easy but not 5 dollars easy
I have only used my debit card by accident when I pulled it out instead of a credit card. Why don't people just get cash once a week and use that for all the small stuff?
This is a direct result of the Durbin amendment, as I know all too well as a member of the Electronic Payments Coalition. We've seen it from other major banks – debit card users are paying the price for Senator Durbin's unnecessary invasion into the free market. Ridiculous that we've ended up paying for the profits of giant retailers.
Time to drop BOA just like I droped NetFlix. Time to invest in a small local bank or credit union. I've got enough people on the outside getting into my money, don't need one on the inside nickel and diming me in the dark.
Long BAC!
I should close today just so that their analytics shows a spike most likely reflecting the breaking of this story.
Most big banks are starting/started to charge for debit now or charge for savings/checking accounts. JPM WFC C BAC etc
Too big to fail banks are bigger than ever…
The biggest problem with most all of president Obama's policies is their incoherence. For example, he waives the social security tax for one year, yet will charge states interest with penalities if they don't pay back the money they borrowed from the Federal government to pay the 99 week extended unemployment insurance benefits.
Here we have price controls which "cap" the merchant debit card fees at .24 per transaction (about 1/2 the previous fee). Instead, the customer will pay his bank $3.00-$5.00 per month to use a bank-issued debt card. In addition, all food stamp receipients will see their food stamp debit cards ("Oregon Trail" )
charged this same fee, since there are apparently no exemptions. So, $60/Year will be deducted from food stamp funds via monthly fees to receipients.
This provision was a gimme to merchants and the banks. Everyone should either use their credit cards instead of their debit cards, or just pay cash (from the bank directly). Dumb, incoherent policies. President Obama did not supervise the legislation. It especially hurts the poor and those with bad credit who can not get a credit card in today's credit tight economy.
Be careful when switching to Credit Unions! I switched from one that I had been a member of for 30+ years because they started instituting a $5 a month fee if you had no activity in your account. My account was primarily a savings account. When my daughter pulled her money out, someone "forgot" to close her account and started charging the $5 fee and then sent it to a claims court! Watch out for any Credit Unions who have been involved with any type of mortgage loans!
Outrageous. So now we get charged for spending money? A few years ago B of A started charging me $5 per ATM transaction overseas — and I promptly stopped using them for this purpose. Then they started charging high Foreign Transaction Fees for using the card, and I stopped using them. Now they will start charging for any Debit card usage? Clearly time to find a new bank………I should have switched a long time ago….
Why does it take forever to do the right thing?
Attacking their customer base with additional fees, not tied to additional services, will end up with customers and their business going elsewhere.
The most potent cost savings will come from consolidating and integrating their entire business under one brand, BofA. By exploiting these synergies, BofA would actually increase their value prop. Instead, they're chosing to go the other way with higher fees.
If you handcuff that moron president to any policy at all then maybe the banks could settle down. He has to be the worst pres. even and after clinton that says alot.
This is not the government's fault. The regulations put in place for the banking industry should have been done years ago–those regs are for the customers' protection and we need them.
This is greed on the part of BofA. How much is enough for their investors and high-level officers? I can remember when small business owners were happy to make a living for themselves and their employees. Not anymore. It's all about greed. BofA wants to be the biggest, hence giving it the most clout when it comes to taking advantage of us. And we allow it if we don't regulate the industry.
Our way around this is to boycott these large companies who, even though it's not technically or legally true, seem to have a monopoly on their area of interest. It's not just the banking industry–it's the telephone industry as well.
I guess I am going to have to go back to writing checks and being the one holding the line up at stores. . . or is there a fee for that too?
Brilliant strategy- penalize consumers for debit card transactions, which are far cheaper for the banks to process than checks or teller visits.
I think that their customers should protest by visiting a physical location at least once a month with an unreasonable request… "Can I have $578.67 in pennies and nickels please? I am trying to jump-start my new wishing well." (20 minutes later) "You know what? Nevermind, that's entirely impractical. Can I have that $578 in circulated singles instead?"
Eric, you said it its time to find a new Bank!! Small banks will love your and my business…
Question: Does the stated policy that "customers won't be charged if they only use their cards at an ATM" also apply to cash obtained from a grocery store using one's debit card? In other words, does BoA consider the debit card transaction at the grocery store the equivalent of using an ATM?
Why don't we wait until the policy is officially announced before we make judgment. BAC will lose a lot of account holders if they charge for an ATM card. There lots of no annual fee credit cards available so why pay for a debit card?
I know that Wells Fargo has already been charging $5 for debit card use.
every body give a big thank you to Dodd-Franks
You just got Buffuct. This must be Warren Buffett's reason for investing and shows B of A's future plan as they signed E.D.D to pay by out using their cards. They will be getting $5 a month from 50% of the population. 30% unemployed and 20% suckers who use B of A.
Too Big To Care – rethink your BA banking relationship.
PerkStreet people, PerkStreet.
May have to check out some of the other banks. There are so many in my area. I may try to plead my case, I'm on SSI, I can't afford another bill. If not. Just write checks again.
i have a BofA mortgage which was not my idea they bought out countrywide. next thing you the FTC sues countrywide for ill practices and such. So Bof A gave me free checking and safe deposit box and other crap. I loath BofA but have no choice but to keep them. I dont want to refi since I have already paid 12 yrs into mortgage why start over? they linked my BofA account to my mortgage. So if I pay my mortgage with that accont I do not get a charrge, whereas if I use another acct thry charge me $15 to pay my house note. Dont they get it we are tired of having to pay, to pay our bills? why add more stress to conumers when we are already stressed enough? what a bunch of tools. And if Chase is charging I am closing that account asap. I worked for an atty and our main business was suing consumers who defaulted no matter how much the owed. I would always call the consumers (didnt ever call them a debtor like most) If there bill was was high or low I would get them $25 payment arrangement just so they wouldnt be suied and have a judgment against them. So see ya BofA and Chase as mentioned earlier there are plenty of banks who would be happy to take our money.
With all the robbery they are going to be doing lots of people will be going back to cash, the criminals will start robbing people again! At least that way I have a fighting chance to keep my money!
Thank you government for helping protect us and not raising our taxes. Oh wait, everytime the government puts in a new regulation it ends up costing us more to do business. Hmm, is this how our "Free" society is supposed to work?
It is incredible how we still supporting as society those guys that put their hands into our pockets to take all penny available, my advice to you friends GO BACK TO CASH ,REDUCE THE ATM'S USE and if is possible cancel your banks accounts don't give to them our money so easy
About 25 years ago in Wichita Kansas, Bank of America took over Bank IV formerly Fourth National Bank. My employer and I saw commercials on TV for the new thing called Direct Deposit. The TV commercials invited interested people to come into the bank to inquire about it. For me, my coworkers, and employer, I stopped in there during my lunch break to inquire about Direct Deposit, and about moving my personal checking account from Intrust formerly First National Bank to Bank of America. My employer had his business account with Bank IV when it was taken over by Bank of America. The lady I talked to left her desk, went to talk to a bank officer at the back. They called the police on me. The cops couldn't understand what the BOA employees were upset about. The cops saw the TV commercials too, and asked BOA what it is that I'm doing wrong that justified them calling police on me. BOA said only an employer can set up Direct Deposit and claimed that my coming to the bank to inquire about it is illegal. The cops disagreed and left the bank. Then BOA tried to get me fired from my job. My employer told BOA he told me to inquire on his behalf during my lunch break. Finally BOA backed off. But that's just an example of a fraction of the crazy and willful evil behavior that bank has engaged in over the years, in my opinion. You couldn't pay me to do business with them, because the way they treat their customers and potential customers is grossly unacceptable.
I refused to pay $5 to access my own money, especially when a bank does pay out on fair interest rate on the money I keep there.
My plan: Charge everything on my American Express card that I typically use my debit card for and then pay it off at the end of each week. NEVER carry a credit card balance. I would much rather have skymiles that I can use then pay $5/month to a bank that I will receive nothing in return for. The whole idea of banking is that deposits are a source of financing for the bank i.e. they pay the depositor interest for the priviledge of being able to use their monies as a capital base to conduct a lending operation. In exchange for the use of capital and the banking product functionality (check writing/cards/savings) and a low interest rate the bank gets to use the capital to make loans that pay the bank a higher interest rate. The bank captures the spread (the difference between the loan rate and the deposit rate). As long as the bank makes good loans they should make money.
They are changing the rules, and the government is over-regulating (they should be focus on banks' trading operations, not standard banking). They changed the game and I am not going to play anymore. The banks will only see my operating cash which is a few thousand bucks, my real cash will be held in other places. http://www.networthprotect.com
I will close my account. I don't need BofA they need me to stay with them. Charging me doesn't help. Does anyone know the number to US bank or Wells Fargo.
This will drive people to start using cash, and the propensity to save and use technology (Online) will decrease and it will drive-away more new accounts and older members..
Anyone who thinks it's NOT the government's fault must be on crack. Regulation destroys every market. Uncle Joe tried it in the Soviet Union. What makes the Einstein's in Congress think they know more than the collective wisdom of the market?
You don't want the numbers to US Bank or Wells Fargo, they're part of the same problem. Put your money into a smaller bank, or preferrably, a Credit Union.
Go to credit unions. I've been with BECU for 10 years, and THEY pay ME. Hardly anything has a fee.
From a banking perspective, doesn't this look like a pathetic cry for help to prop up its balance sheet? And shouldn't BOA be somewhat embarrassed by the move?
Well, that may be the last straw for me. I now realize that BofA is no friend of mine and has added yet another reason to move all my business elsewhere.
I rarely use my Debit card, I mean really rarely, until I joined Costco. Now I use it for purchases. I seldom use cash so goodbye BofA!
I think Bank of America is doing the right thing, focussing on the creditworthy, good customers instead of trying to serve everybody.
Cheap checking account for almost everybody and Bank of America branches in poor neighborhoods was a good strategy for Bank of America when the interchange fees remained reasonable …..but after the interchange fees are reduced for the banks…Bank of America is left with no other choices.
This is another example of mistaken Democratic policies….now the big banks are only for the right people…not for everybody.
Bank of America is better of servicing the Apple Generation of people…so perhaps the Democratic policies may turn out being quite profitable for the bank.
Bank of America should make a lot more money being number one in credit cards and financial advisory….these fees only apply for basic checking accounts…so Bank of America gets its act together and focus on non-Democratic people….those that dont hate the bank.
let the credit unions and community banks struggle with these clients…big banks have so much to offer the right people and so little to offer poor people.
today you dont qualify for any loans being poor, your salary is going down and your prospects of savings is zero with Obama and Biden…why should the banks waste their time?
let the Democratic policies go into effect tomorrow….only thing it will do is making US more of a society for the rich, produce more cash transactions (meaning more unpaid taxes), more atm fees for big banks and more credit card debt….that is about it….nothing good for the people, only good for Obama's and Senator Durbin's egos.
It's kind of wierd to bank with an insurance company, but State Farm has a bank and they don't charge me any fees and if I get an ATM fee from another bank they even refund that.
The BofA isn't the type
To care if its customers gripe
Over debit card fees
Cause despite all your pleas
Whenever you use it, they'll swipe.
News Short n' Sweet by JFD8
I will be looking for anew bank. something small and courteous
Such policy by a bank that only recently cried help us we are too big to fail is the equivalent of a drowning man stubbing its rescuer when he sees a land on the horizon.
After 15 years with BofA, I will go through the trouble of changing all my accounts vs pay 6×5.00 = 30.00 a month or $360 per year to use their debit card.
it can max cost $60 a year….how are you getting to $360??? if that is the way you do your math Bank of America might be better of without you..
Honestly, when you think about $60 per year ($5 per month you use the debit card) its not too bad. And if they do it, other banks are sure to follow, the economy is bad, everyone, the consumer and business both are looking for ways to save money/make money…What I want to know is I use my card and choose credit instead of debit, will that avoid the fee?
Personally, I may even consider buying a safe for my home and close my checking account altogether. Much cheaper!
Everyone is always going to find new ways to try and charge you. If it's not that, it's something else. If you need the extra money, I work at home part time for post card profits and I make more than enough to cover the $5 charge. The website is https://www.postcardprofits.com. Go there and you'll get the hint of how this can definitely cover your $5 charge.
B of A can go pound sand. I'm moving my money to a credit union. Screwem'.
Nice knowing ya, buh-bye pigs.
I don't feel a bit sorry for this bank. Their current 'management' was there when they bought downright sorry companies with the worst portfolio in history. They have gotten themselves in an extremely bad position and who will feel the pain – the barely minimum wage earner. They are maintaining their reputation as the most expensive bank in the neighborhood.
This charge will hereafter and forever be known as the "Durbin fee". Not as well known as Obamacare but still infamous. To the extent it continues to exist, it will be his legacy. The fee was the result of Mr. Durbin's handiwork on behalf of the retail lobby that contribute to his election in Illinois. Thank you Illinois for giving us Mr. Durbin.

Interview with Tim Cox, ABC Statewide Mornings
6 January 2009
COX : Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, a very good morning to you.
GARRETT: Morning, Tim.
COX : Can you explain for us what is the significance of the 26 months' time line for this? And of course, what it does is make this very much a live issue for the next state and, for that matter, the next federal election as well.
GARRETT: The 26-month time line is the period that will enable the hydro-dynamic modelling, the real-time modelling to be done. That's always been estimated taking between 12 and 18 months. And then a sufficient period of time following that for the scientific evaluation to consider that modelling to identify whether there's any other additional measures that need to be put in place, response strategies and the like, and for those to be agreed in order to determine whether or not a final approval can be given.
COX : Let's say that beyond that 26-month period, would you really say no to the operation of the mill if it had been constructed and was ready to operate if the only thing approved - or not approved, I should say - was these three modules?
GARRETT: There's absolutely no doubt, Tim, that until these three modules have been approved, then the mill cannot start to operate or to function. And that's my legal responsibility as Minister, and I take it very seriously, and that's what I do.
COX : So would you - we've just heard you in the news saying that there are issues that Gunns need to address before it begins construction; it's a risk for them to take if they so choose.
I presume though you're aware of the time line for them with plant, et cetera, et cetera. Is there - would you be building a mill if you were in John Gay's shoes?
GARRETT: Well, that's up to Mr Gay, and I'm not going to take hypotheticals from you, Tim.
What I would say is that if Gunns are able to conclude and we can conclude the period of the hydrodynamic assessment - that modelling - in less than 26 months, then that's good. I've set a period there which I think is sufficient to enable the inevitable delays that tend to come with this sort of work. If it can be done more quickly - it clearly has to take at least 12 months because you're looking for real-time modelling, particularly in terms of effluent dispersal and different ocean currents and different seasons and the like.
But at the end of the day, Minister Turnbull, when he was Environment Minister, approved this mill. He laid down 48 conditions - you know this stuff very well - and each of those conditions applies to the approvals process. He separated it out in terms of modules. My job as Federal Environment Minister is to see whether or not these modules, as they come to me, are capable of being approved, if they're having an impact on matters of national environment significance.
If they're not and the measures in place are appropriate, according to the conditions laid down by Mr Turnbull, then they are approved. If they're not and if there is going to be an impact on matters of national environment significance, then there's the inevitable process of determining what measures and strategies are necessary to make sure that there isn't that impact. Now, that obviously goes to the question of additional technologies, potential tertiary treatment and the like.
But any questions about whether or not it should or shouldn't be built are for Gunns. And frankly, any questions about whether or not what will or won't happen need to be, in a sense, answered once we've actually got the response and the results of the work that I've required needs to be done before an approval can be given.
COX : I presume Gunns would be liable for any cost associated with tertiary treatment should it be deemed necessary?
GARRETT: That would be my understanding, yes.
COX: And have you given any consideration in this to cutting out the middle man, the proponent in Gunns, and instead of getting them to do the modelling and then having it reviewed by an expert group, why not get the expert group to do the modelling to see if it can be done, which would save time? I presume it would save money for Gunns and it would mean that the Government then would own that information; you would then have all the information you and any subsequent environment minister would need about the modelling for Bass Strait.
GARRETT: Well, Tim, the letter that I wrote to Gunns yesterday refers to modules L, M and N, which are pre-commissioning the monitoring and the response strategy modules.
Now, those modules have already been significantly worked up between the department, the Independent Experts Group and Gunns, and I'm satisfied with the framework that exists within those modules. And it is exhaustive and comprehensive and it's based on the best available scientific evidence as to what hydro-dynamic modelling should take place, how it should operate and the like.
So it's now a question for that work to take place, to be undertaken and to be done in such a way that I've got the relevant material I need in front me, as Environment Minister, when the work is completed to make any determination that I need to.
COX : Interesting to hear from Calton Frame from Gunns earlier this morning on this new condition that you announced yesterday, which is for criminal and civil sanctions up to $1.1 million fines, et cetera. Calton Frame was saying that he suggested that - or that Gunns at least - suggested that that sort of sanction be part of it.
Has anyone ever been charged like this under the EPBC Act?
GARRETT: There have been some charges made under the EPBC Act in respect of breach of conditions in the past. To my knowledge and in my time as Environment Minister, that has been the case.
In relation to a Commonwealth approval or Commonwealth conditions of a pulp mill, I can't answer that question. I'd have to go back and take advice and see whether that's been the case or not.
But it is true that Gunns proposed a different way of dealing with the issue of exceeding the maximum permissible limits in terms of the effluent. It isn't the case, from memory, that they were seeking to have the sanctions apply to them that I've applied. But it is the case that they proposed a different way of treating that particular matter, because what happened under Malcolm Turnbull's conditions is that if the maximum permissible levels were exceeded, then in some instances the mill would have had to shut down. But that can quite often produce an effect which is worse for the environment than if it were allowed to continue and you simply had less material or you effectively adjusted your maximum permissible limits in the following months.
Now, that, from recollection, is what Gunns' proposal was, and I think that that was a sensible proposal. But what I've said is that this should be a condition of the approval, and once it's a condition of the approval, if there is an exceeding of the maximum permissible limits, then civil and criminal sanctions can and would apply.
COX : Well, the State Government said that if it exceeds it, that the mill in fact will be shut down, under Section 11, that - it's been discussed this morning, which we need to get to in a moment as well, but the mill will stop operating if it goes outside the guidelines.
GARRETT: Well, that's right, and that would be the case from the state's perspective in relation to it exceeding the guidelines. But what I've said, from a Commonwealth point of view in terms of putting conditions on a final approval - and remember, what we're talking about has not yet been approved - but in terms of putting conditions on a final approval, what we're saying is that it makes more sense for there to be a mechanism in place which enables you to look at reducing the load in, say, a following month than necessarily shutting down a mill each and every time, because to shut it down and then start it up again may produce more impact on the environment than is desirable.
Now, it is the case that the state regulations provide for shut-down. So would the federal conditions, but in some instances it may be the case that you would say and agree, well, the mill won't be shut down because it would provide more - less protection for the environment for that to take place, but that if the appropriate response strategies aren't in place and if there's been an exceedance which breaches the condition, then the sanctions would apply.
So in a sense, what you've done is double the capacity for making sure that there isn't maximum exceedance. You've got the provision for shut-down, but you've also got the provision for criminal sanctions and civil sanctions.
COX : Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, here on 936 ABC Hobart and ABC Northern Tasmania at 14 past nine.
So given the weight of penalty available to the Federal Government in relation to the operation of the mill, do you believe, Minister, there should be some form of redress or compensation for areas that are under the control of the State Government?
GARRETT: It's a matter for the state, Tim. My decision-making under this particular proposal has always been very clear and I've always been at pains to point it out to people - and I know that sometimes people listening say, oh, you know, we hear Peter talking like a lawyer. This happened when we went to Launceston and we were speaking to people there at the Community Cabinet. But the fact is that I inherited an approval from Malcolm Turnbull; it had 48 conditions in place. And my responsibilities as Federal Environment Minister are very clear. They're to do with the national environment significant matters.
Now, in relation to those matters, I apply myself diligently, I take the advice, the briefs from the department, the scientific advice, legal advice and the like, and I make the decisions on that basis.
I have to be extremely diligent in doing that and not take into account a range of other ancillary matters, critical or important as they may be, whether they're state matters or other matters, because my decision-making is focused specifically on being consistent with not only the conditions that Malcolm Turnbull put in place - in some instances we've strengthened them but also with the act that I'm required to administer.
COX : We need to leave it there, Peter Garrett, but thank you very much for your time this morning.
GARRETT: Thanks, Tim.
COX : Peter Garrett, Federal Environment Minister.

New Nikon D3100 adds Live View, LV/Movie AF, and 1080p
After a few years at 12mp APS-C, Nikon has now jumped to 14mp APS-C with the brand new Nikon D3100 DSLR which also steps into the world of 1080p video recording. Despite the model number, the D3100 is not a sequential update to the Nikon D3000 {reviews}, as it adds Live View, movie AF, and 1080p video recording, three attention-grabbing additions for potential buyers of this camera. It also gives Nikon a more competitive model in the marketplace - a lot more people would have to at least consider it as an option before deciding which DSLR to get. One cannot necessarily say the same thing about the D3000 at this point in time. The game of "DSLR leapfrog" continues...
Some of the many features are:
+ 14.8mp (14.2 effective) 23.1x15.4mm CMOS sensor (APS-C)
+ 3-inch (230K) LCD with Live View
+ eye-level pentamirror, 95% H/V
+ Movie and LiveView auto-focus
+ 11-point MultiCAM 1000 autofocus
+ cannot autofocus with non AF-S/AF-I lenses
+ ISO 100-3200 (expandable to ISO 12800)

The D3100 is available for pre-order in a kit with the 18-55mm DX VR lens for $700 at Amazon, Calumet Photo, Adorama, B&H Photo, RitzCamera.com, et al.
In the US market, the two-lens kit will open at $950 ($250 more than the one lens kit) and will include the current 55-200mm DX VR lens, which currently goes for around $225 on its own, thus making the two-lens kit price a non-starter. Some photographers had hoped to see the new Nikon 55-300mm DX VR lens instead. But with a starting price of $400, this would have either made the two-lens kit more expensive, or cut into Nikon's profit margins :)

Science Friday Video Pick of the Week: Boost Your Bike:
Maxwell von Stein, a 22-year-old graduate of The Cooper Union, built bicycle that uses a flywheel to store energy. Instead of braking, Max can transfer energy from the wheel to the flywheel, which spins between the crossbars. The flywheel stores the kinetic energy until Max wants a boost, then he can transfer the energy back to the wheel using a shifter on the handlebars.

In assembling an international coalition to combat ISIS, the United States has looked mostly to the Middle East and Europe, regions that it said face a direct threat from the militant Islamist group. But other parts of the world are just as anxious about ISIS -- above all, Southeast Asia.
There are still those in the West who regard using military force against ISIS as a mistake, believing that, with the beheadings of Western journalists, ISIS was hoping to provoke a showdown with the United States all along. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The most important part of U.S. President Barack Obama's recent speech about Iraq and Syria wasn't how many air strikes the United States will conduct and when -- the elements that have dominated much of the analysis of the event. Rather, it was his call to form, from scratch, an Iraqi National Guard.
Last week's deadly U.S. strike on Ahmed Abdi Godane, the leader of the Somalia-based Islamist militant group al Shabab, could be the group's undoing. Even so, the region is not out of the woods.
Despite ISIS' success in capturing jihadists' imagination, the idea of an Islamic state has one fatal flaw: its physical incarnation makes it vulnerable to attack.
Vietnam once hoped to manage China's regional ambitions by showing Beijing deference. But Hanoi now has a new strategy: cozying up to its one-time enemy, the United States.
Late last week in Minsk, negotiators representing Ukraine, the separatist forces, and Russia agreed to a ceasefire. If this deal holds -- plenty of earlier ceasefires have fallen apart as soon as they were signed -- then the active phase of fighting in eastern Ukraine will have come to end on terms favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A Russia with a sophisticated military and a cratered economy would pose a substantial threat to its neighbors, especially since many of those neighbors possess large amounts of valuable natural resources. In other words, although sanctions may be intended to deter Russia from adventurism in its near abroad, they could end up doing just the opposite.
What does an ISIS militant mean when he raises his index finger? Or an Egyptian activist who raises four? Although Western observers have largely ignored them, such gestures provide a unique window into the evolving politics of the Middle East.
If Ukraine does manage to pacify the Donbas, it will be saddled with a devastated, unstable, and permanently insecure rust belt that will continue to do what it has done since independence in 1991: serve as a channel for Russian influence on Ukraine's internal affairs and a home to political forces that oppose reform and integration with the West.

After three weeks in a row at the top of the Box Office a film has finally dethroned Ride Along from the number one spot. This weekend, the animated adventure The LEGO Movie has ran away with the top spot at the Box Office.
Over the weekend, The LEGO Movie made a whopping estimated $69.1 million dollars domestically. Add in the $18.1 million the film pulled in the Foreign Box Office, and the film had an opening weekend of $87.2 worldwide.
The film has an amazing group of actors lending their voice talents to the film. Among them are Will Arnett, who voices Batman/Bruce Wayne, Elizabeth Banks, who voices Wyldstyle/Lucy, and Charlie Day, who voices Benny. Also lending their voice talents to the film are Anthony Daniels, Will Ferrell, Will Forte, Morgan Freeman, Jonah Hill, and many more.
Coming in second this week is the debut of the film The Monuments Men. The film brought in an estimated $22.7 million over the weekend.
The film follows the story of a group of art aficionados who are recruited to rescue art pieces that were stolen by Nazi thieves and return them to their rightful owners before they are destroyed forever.
The Monuments Men is another film that is jam packed with A-List talent. The film stars actors like George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, and many more.
In third place this weekend is the former Box Office Champion Ride Along.
The cop comedy pulled in an estimated $9.39 million this weekend. This brings the film's four week total to an approximate $105.2 million.
Coming in fourth this weekend is the Disney animated adventure Frozen. This movie just can't be stopped this year. This weekend the film brought in an approximate $6.91 million bringing Frozen's domestic Box Office total to $368.68 million. Add in the $545.1 million that the film has earned in the foreign Box Office, and the film has grossed $913.78 million worldwide in the film's 12 weeks in release.
I think it is safe to say that Frozen is well on its way to breaking the $1 billion mark worldwide real soon.
Rounding out the Top 5 this weekend is the comedy That Awkward Moment.
The film brought in a total of $5.54 million, bringing the film's two week total to $16.85 million. This is awkwardly low for a Zac Efron film. From the looks of it, the film may have an issue crossing the $20 million mark.
A film that debuted surprisingly low this weekend is Vampire Academy. The young adult film doesn't have a whole lot of recognizable names in it, but the film still came in surprisingly low considering the popularity of the vampire genre. At the same time last year, the film Beautiful Creatures opened to a total of $7.58 million.
Here is a look at the Top 10 at the Box Office this weekend courtesy of Box Office Mojo.

what's the point of counting ipod as a "mobile device" ?
I have an adidas watch, is adidas into the mobile scene too?
I don't understand why people keep comparing Android to iOS. The two companies have completely different goals. Google=open, profit on their search engine and advertising. Apple=close, profit on you buying their devices and staying in their ecosystem. Neither is really wrong, it's just a choice. Android has it's good and bad points, much like Apple. Plus, I'm pretty sure people are buying more Android devices because of the advance hardware, not so much the OS. When purchasing from either app store it's basically a wash. A few cents here or there.
Apple Siri is the only option for machines that use human speech. Apple is fortifying the Siri. Within 2 years all Apple machines will use human speech enabling completely human-like behaviors and capabilities in new generations of Apple apps. There can be no competition against Siri, coming soon to the App Store.
@Georg Luckmann – it is a device on which mobile ads are served – hence the fact that it turns up in their figures
That figures perfectly, Europeans are fans of Google's socialism and free software and English are fans of Apple's American capitalism and overpriced fads. Wonder if they'll wake up and buy Nokia's European designed products running software from world's largest software enterprise. probably not they're all headed towards socialist revolutions fueled by social media and mods.
How are these figures calculated?
My impression is iPhone is now considered old hat in the UK and Android is much cooler.
Couldnt agree more with Don. When you buy android its either for budget phone or the latest bad-ass hardware.
Two questions:
1) How many carriers sell the iPhone in each of those countries; and
2) How much money are the Android manufacturers making?
We know the answer to the second question. Apple is taking 80% of the profit in the sector Android and everybody else has to fight for the remaining 20%.
Why ask about carriers? Because the pattern is now clear. Android dominates when it's the only game in town. But as soon as the iPhone comes to town (gets on a carrier), it dominates. Witness Verizon and Sprint which, after only offering the iPhone for 13 and 7 months respectively, now both sell more iPhones than all other phones combined. And Apple is getting on more and more carriers ever day.
Enjoy your market share numbers, Android. It's all you've got left. And when the iPhone finally arrives on your carrier, you'll drop to second class in every metric that matters.
I agree with FalKirk. Compared to Apple, RIM is on about twice as many carriers. And that'd probably be the case with Android too. So Apple still has lots of headroom to grow. The other important point is. Apple's mobile products are hand held computers. And for that reason Apple has a lot of advantages. Consider Apple's history re it's purchase of chip and memory designers. To me that's impressive.
