Hideaway Trash Bin
The humble field of trash bin design is unexciting to say the least; there's just not much going on in the way of improvements. Muuto adds another un-fancy option to the mix- it's just a simple bin with a lid- yet with a few extra noteworthy details. The exterior is streamlined, so it could just as easily live in your closet as a laundry basket; that gets points for versatility in the aesthetic department, don't you think? When the lid is on, an interior trash bag is hidden by the lid's lip. When the lid is off, it can hang on the side of the bin for easy access and safekeeping.
Made from gray rubber-coated plastic.
By Muuto.
Material: Rubber coated plastic
Dimensions: 20″H x 14.75″dia

Official Video for "Here We Go Again" out today!
The official video for "Here We Go Again" just debuted on The Nashville Scene. Directed by Caleb Kuhl, the video was shot on location at Point Dume, Malibu, and Studio City CA. Just as the song's lighthearted melody belies a theme at once complicated and common, Kuhl's collage-approach to narrative imitates the cyclic nature of offense-and-reconciliation that exists in every relationship. Featuring Jessica Paterson.
Korby's song featured on ABC Family's "The Fosters"
Korby's song "Forbidden Fruit" was featured in 2 episodes of ABC Family's hit show "The Fosters!" More exciting news on this front coming soon...
Korby named "Who's Next" in Music & Musicians Magazine
Korby was named "Who's Next" in the June 2014 issue of Music & Musicians Magazine. Says Korby in the article: "What's really hard is to hit people in the heart
and to reach them...that's what I'm trying to do: make
music that's easily likeable, but with a kind of secret sophistication."
and to reach them...that's what I'm trying to do: make

World's 8 Riskiest Golf CoursesWorld's most precarious places to play the game...
By Reuters, IndiaTimes | September 29, 2012, 12:04 am IST
3 Carbrook Golf Club, Brisbane, Australia
While shark sightings on the Great Barrier Reef are certainly an expected thing, golfers are now spotting them with increasing frequency some 10 miles inland from the 15th fairway at Carbrook Golf Club. Apparently, when the nearby Logan River flooded the course in the early 90s, it carried varieties of fish and even some young sharks along for the ride. Now, the course's lakes are home to these stranded species and, given the rise in fin spottings, the bull sharks are thriving and multiplying, giving new meaning the term "water hazard."

8. Additional Points to Note
If the network connection between your unit and OUCS is unavailable then you may find that logging in becomes very slow, or experience other name resolution issues. This happens because although most Active Directory records are registered on your local DNS servers, which continue to be accessible, the host records that translate between names of servers and IP addresses are held on the OUCS DNS servers.
If this is a problem for your unit, you may be able to provide resilience by
running a secondary name server for the ox.ac.uk zone and asking OUCS to arrange
for zone transfers to be allowed to a designated server. You then need to make
sure that your domain controllers are configured to look up requests for
ox.ac.uk via this name server. You can do this by configuring your DNS servers
to forward requests for information about ox.ac.uk to this secondary server (add
an entry for ox.ac.uk in the
Forwarders tab in the
[Properties] of the server object in the DNS management tool, or
on Windows 2008, by an entry in the
Conditional Forwarders
You may be able to configure one of your existing Windows DNS servers to act as
this secondary server. To enquire about this service, email OUCS in the usual
way. If you decide to use one of your Windows DNS servers to manage the
secondary zone, use the
DNS Manager to create a new zone of
[Secondary] and configure zone transfers as directed by OUCS.

text: thestyletutors nomanwalksalone: UNDERSTANDING ALTERATIONS: SUITS AND SPORT COATS by S. Charlie Weyman For clothes to look good, fit is paramount. But clothes rarely fit perfectly off-the-rack. That's because they're typically made according to some "average size" imagined by the designer. Since nobody is perfectly average, the fit will often vary a little here and there. That doesn't mean off-the-rack clothes can't fit well, however. Professional pattern makers are highly skilled at what they do, so often all that's need is a little post-purchase alterations. To get the perfect fit, you only need to know what can be tailored. So I'm doing a three-part series on alterations to help people judge what should be kept and what should be returned. I'll start with suits and sport coats. Read More Check this out! thestyletutors Source: nomanwalksalone

Several Brazilian officials turned up bright and early at Thomson Reuters' offices in London this morning, despite the snow and tricky local infrastructure (malfunctioning Tube trains), for an investment roundtable. (Here' the Reuters Insider broadcast of the event)
The officials, including undersecretary for public debt Paulo Valle, have been in London all week talking to bankers and investors. Some of the issues raised today included the continued imposition of the IOF tax on foreign purchases of domestic bonds, corporate governance and debt levels.
Valle told Reuters that Brazil could issue a $1.0-1.5 billion 10-year global bond denominated in reais this year, and he has been talking to bankers about it this week (here's the Spanish version)
Inflation is also an issue, even though it fell today to its lowest in 11 months, while foreign demand is in danger of lighting too much of a fire under the real currency, which rose 8 percent against the dollar last month.
Paulo Oliveira, ceo of BRAIN (Brazil Investments and Business) told investors that too much money at once can cause problems:

How to Choose Ski Pants
Salopettes, ski trousers and ski pants are all terms used to describe trousers that are worn for skiing. Traditionally salopettes would have a high waist with a bib that braces can be attached to whilst ski trousers stop at the waist but can also have braces. Salopettes or ski pants are suitable for any winter sports including snowboarding. In this guide you will find all the information you need on ski pants and the Mountain Warehouse range to help you choose the right ski trousers for you.
Whether you are a first time skier or a regular on the slopes it is important that you wear ski pants, rather than regular trousers or jeans. Ski pants have many different features specifically designed with purpose in mind.
The Features
Integrated Snow Gaiters- Snow gaiters are located at the bottom of the leg opening on a ski trouser. Similar to a snowskirt in a ski jacket, snow gaiters prevent snow eventing at the leg opening should you fall over. These usually come with zips, poppers or Velcro to make it easier to loosen and get over your ski boots.
Zipped Ankle Openings- A zipped ankle opening is useful when putting on or taking off bulky ski boots.
Under Leg Vents- Zipped vent in legs to allow extra ventilation.
RECCO® Reflectors- These are reflectors added to the inside or outside of ski clothing to help rescuers search for and pinpoint skiers and snowboarders should they get caught in an avalanche or befall other mountain dangers.
Scuff Guards- A scuff guard is an extra durable piece of fabric positioned inside of the ankle of ski pants. It is designed to protect the fabric from fraying (increasing the lifespan of the product) due to friction from snow boots or skis.
Reinforced Knees- The knees area of ski pants are prone to wear, from skiing hard or falling over for example, extra fabric is added to the knee area for reinforcement.
Insulation- Insulation in the form of fleece lining provides extra warmth.
Waistbands- Waistbands can be elasticated or adjustable for a comfortable but snug fit.
Pockets- Multiple security pockets give you somewhere to stash your belongings when out on the slopes.
The Fit
It is important that your ski pants are a good fit. This means they should not be so tight that your movement is restricted or too loose you have to pull them up often. They should be loose enough to allow freedom of movement especially around hips and knees (remembering to take into account any layers you may wear underneath.) Adjustable waistbands are useful for adjusting the fit based on the layers you may/may not be wearing.
Salopettes should be a bit longer than your normal trousers so that you can fit them over your ski or snowboard boots.
The Fabrics
The fabric of your ski pants will have a water repellent coating to prevent water seeping through should you fall or be caught in a snow storm.
There are different levels of waterproofness. For ski pants to be fully waterproof they will also need to have taped seams (sealed seams that prevent water entering through the stitched area of the fabric). Snowproof or water resistant salopettes will protect you from light snow fall but will not keep you dry should you sit or fall in the snow.
Ski pants may also have a waterproof, breathable membrane to prevent water soaking through but let perspiration out. This is especially important if you are an energetic skier or snowboarder. Combining waterproofness and breathability will keep you dry, warm and comfortable out on the slopes.
Ski pants can be made of many different types of fabric that affect the look, feel and often the waterproofness of the trousers. Many ski pants will be, what is referred to as, hardshell with the outer shell fabric normally made from polyester or nylon. Softshell ski pants are made from a more flexible fabric but may not offer the same amount of waterproofness as hardshells.
Whether you choose textured, patterned or plain ski pants will be down to personal preference.
Our Range
Extreme Ski Pants
Our Extreme ski pants have a waterproof rating of 10,000 and a breathable rating of 5,000 (see our FAQs for what these rating mean), the highest in our range. The waterproof fabric, waterproof and breathable membrane and taped seams mean they are fully waterproof.
Key features include cordura scuff guards, under leg zipped vents, zipped ankle openings and integrated snow gaiters. The fleece lining adds warmth and the soft lined waistband makes for a comfortable fit. Our Extreme ski pants also include Recco technology, no other ski pants in our range include these reflectors.
The Extreme ski pant range includes the Voss for men and the Hydro for women and the Falcon for kids (please note our kids Extreme ski trousers are 3,000mm waterproof and 3,000 breathable and do not include Recco reflectors or scuff guards).
Waterproof Ski Pants
Our fully waterproof ski pants are rated as waterproof to 3,000mm (see our FAQs for what this rating means) and have taped seams, as well as being breathable.
Features include integrated snow gaiters, zipped ankle openings and scuff guards. These pants do not have RECCO® reflectors.
Our fully waterproof ski pant range includes the Salen for men and Homewood for Women.
Snowproof Ski Pants
The fabric of snowproof jackets has been treated with a water resistant coating that repels water, ideal should you get caught in a light snow shower. As they do not have taped seams they cannot be classed as fully waterproof.
Our snowproof pants have many of the great features of our waterproof ski trousers including integrated snow gaiters, zipped ankle openings and adjustable waistbands.
Vail and Heart are our snowproof ski pants for women and the Algid and Jasper are our mens snowproof ski pants. There are also snowproof ski pants for kids in our range these include the Sugar (Girls) and Eagle (Boys).

We've heard this before, but the drum beats are growing louder now: big center Bogdan Yakimov is on his way to North America. He'll no doubt sign a contract and spend the season in Oklahoma City, but you never know. The Oilers will add the following players to the pro ranks next season:
- Jujhar Khaira
- Mitchell Moroz
- Dillon Simpson
- Jordan Oesterle
- Darnell Nurse (Slide Rule, he's NHL or back to junior but is signed)
and now Yakimov.
As with fashion and the economy, the Edmonton Oilers have 'in-style' and 'out-of-fashion' cycles that are impossible to ignore. After several years of drafting skill (we'll call it the Cogliano-Gagner-Eberle era) the club began adding bigger prospects out of order in 2012. For those who don't remember, the "Coke Machine drafts" of last decade gave Edmonton an uneven return.
- 2000-#35-C Brad Winchester, 6'5, 210
- 2001-#52-C Eddie Caron, 6'2, 230
- 2002-#79-LW Brock Radunske, 6'4, 199
- 2003-#51-RW Colin McDonald, 6'2, 190
- 2003-#68-LW JF Jacques, 6'3.5, 217
- 2003-#94-RW Zach Stortini, 6'4, 225
- 2004-#57-C Geoff Paukovich, 6'4, 207
- 2005-#97-C Chris Vande Velde, 6'2, 190
The new group has one thing going for it—the future is unwritten—but it's a very good idea to scan that Prendergast list, see how many high picks were spent on pursuing this player, and the relative lack of success enjoyed by the KP drafting group. This is an expensive, expensive investment.
- 2012-#32-L Mitchell Moroz, 6.03, 214
- 2012-#63-C Jujhar Khaira, 6.04, 215
- 2012-#91-L Daniil Zharkov, 6.04, 212
- 2012-#153-R John McCarron, 6.02, 225
The club drafted coke machines in 2009 (Cam Abney), 2010 (Drew Czerwonka), but that 2012 entry draft really stands out. Now, the Coke Machines are on the way, with Moroz and Khaira turning pro this fall (Khaira is impressing in OKC now, scored his first pro goal on the weekend). Who do I regard as the best bet? Jujhar Khaira.
Why? Well, I put him as the #5 overall prospect in the system during the winter top 30, and Todd Nelson (among others) had nice things to say here. Bottom line: He's a big, physical center who learned the defensive side of the game in junior under Kevin Constantine. He may or may not hit enough, but there's the foundation of a player there. We've gotten excited over less many many times.
At 10 this morning, it's the Lowdown. Lots to get to, it's going to be a laugh riot. Seriously! LAUGH RIOT! Scheduled to appear:
- Scott Burnside, ESPN. We'll talk about the playoffs, the changes in Washington and what looks like a big week for coaches and GMs in the NHL.
- Kent Ridley, Ridley Scouting. Kent has just published his 2014 CFL Draft Guide, his fifth edition. We'll talk about it, and the quality and depth in this year's draft.
- Corey Pronman, ESPN. The IIHF U-18′s are done, and that's a wrap on the 2014 NHL draft season. We'll talk about the players who helped their draft stock the most.
- Sam Reinhart, Kootenay Ice. We'll talk to the young center about the draft, possibly going #1 overall, and playing in the NHL.

- Coordinating technological change in large software organizations
Quote: "Part of what distinguishes great infrastructure teams is a sense of empathy for those that depend on them. When attempting to move an organization forward with a new technology, such a team will reduce the barrier to entry by addressing any likely concerns and minimizing the amount of work that developers have to do to make the switch. By going the extra mile to ease the lives of others, the team initiating the change improves the likelihood of success and greases the wheels of forward progress."

At the scale of Google, LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter (hundreds of millions of users), you'll have an entirely different set of problems, but you'll also have a bigger team of experienced developers and operations people around you. The mid-range scale of about a million users is interesting, because it's quite feasible for a small startup team to get there with some luck and good marketing skills. If that sounds like you, here are a few things to keep in mind."

- Why are conservative talk shows so popular and liberal talk shows a failure?
Quote: "Julia Sweeney has a great line that "listening to NPR is like listening to your mother telling you to clean your room". We have a gas crisis? It would help if you used mass transit more We have an education crisis? It would help if you read to your kids more We have a health care crisis? If you exercised more and ate better, we wouldn't have such a demand on the system. Coming up next: 3 ways you can add kale to your daily diet. Country <X> isn't doing what we want? If you were more sensitive to their history, you'd understand why. Let's have a 15 minute drill-down, shall we…? The typical framing of the typical problem is about what you can/should do to help things get better. On the other hand, if you listen to Limbaugh, you (the listener) are never at fault. You are perfect. You are the heart of America. The problem is them – those liberals, foreigners, feminists, etc., fools at best and traitors at worst, who are screwing things up and preventing the great life you deserve. We have a gas crisis? They refuse to let us drill and use nuclear. We have an education crisis? They have a bias against private schools We have a health care crisis? No we don't! They just say this as an excuse for Big Government. Coming up next: an ad for Ruth's Chris Steak house. Country <X> isn't doing what we want? If they didn't make us act like such wimps we'd be respected and feared! The Limbaugh approach is much more popular. In my opinion it's not so much the details of the liberal vs. conservative policies, it's that the one nags you while the other exalts you."

Abstract—Mining information and knowledge from large databases has been recognized by many researchers as a key research topic in database systems and machine learning, and by many industrial companies as an important area with an opportunity of major revenues. Researchers in many different fields have shown great interest in data mining. Several emerging applications in information providing services, such as data warehousing and on-line services over the Internet, also call for various data mining techniques to better understand user behavior, to improve the service provided, and to increase the business opportunities. In response to such a demand, this article is to provide a survey, from a database researcher's point of view, on the data mining techniques developed recently. A classification of the available data mining techniques is provided, and a comparative study of such techniques is presented.

Attachment 14508
We've got around 150 Students laptops in our school but from time to time we're presented with this issue and so far the only solution I've come up with is to re-image the affected laptop.
When a student logs on they are unable to view their H: drive (and as a result any of their documents). Each year group has it's own folder on the NAS drive (Year11 > 11%username, Year10 > 10%Username etc...).
If I log in as an administrator and browse to the parent folder for the user I'm presented with the above error EVEN THOUGH I'M LOGGED IN AS THE ADMINISTRATOR!. If I browse (as an administrator) to the other folders (Year10, Year09 etc...) they will open fine.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a better solution than re-imaging? Therefore saving me time.

PlantTherapy: Saturday Morning Flowers
Right now tulips are making their way to every deli and flower shop. And, weather permitting, they are also showing up at the Greenmarket as well! This past week I fell for flaming parrot tulips with long, long stems. This was the view by my bed every morning. I just gave them a fresh cut, put them in the vase, and let them wander. Each blossom had so much character, every photo like taking a portrait...
Because of their long stems, these tulip blossoms almost seemed like heads to a nest of exotic birds. And, coincidentally, I was told that the term 'parrot tulip' came about because the serrated petals have the shape of parrot beaks. The stems continued to gently wind and move as the week progressed. They also aged beautifully, becoming a soft crimson and vanilla on their last day.
A little tulip care: Cut off leaves that will be below the water line and remember to change water daily if possible. Tulips drink a lot of water, and can even continue to grow when in the vase, up to 2" in some cases, so check that water level. These love being in a cool place - keep away from drafts, direct sun and heaters.
Having flowers near the bed has become a regular pleasure. They start the day on a pleasant note, or provide a welcome distraction at the end of a busy day before lights out.
The tansu in the first photo was an old purchase. It is made of paulownia wood and too delicate for everyday use, but it dutifully supports our flowers. The vase is the Pinch Vase, by Jonathan Adler. It's about 8" high (about the average length of most cut tulip stems), so that gives you an idea of just how long those tulips were!

such beautiful flowers, and very nice photographs!!
Beautiful. Elegant. Simple yet bold. Thanks for sharing.
Parrot tulips always bring me back to Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds and memories of studing for my CFA.
beautifully shot.
really, really nice. what a pretty picture to wake up to.
So beautiful. There is nothing like them. No wonder they inspired a mania.
This is why tulips are my favorite flower. Awesome pics. Another neat trick is to take a pic of them a few times a day for a few days and make a little movie. It is amazing how much they move around.
Love,love your tansu cabinet! I would love a step cabinet but they cost a fortune.
Maybe I should put flowers by me bedside table too. I have plenty orchids which I have been neglecting lately. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos.
I just pick up 3 of these yesterday at Sprout Home in Brooklyn. Id never seen them before. I purchased them closed, and this morning, had the most wonderful suprise to see them opening...gorgeous!

Fantasizing about foreclosures? Novice investors beware
Buying homes at auction is fraught with risk, and it takes a big investment of time as well as money.
The allure of foreclosed properties to a would-be real-estate investor is nearly irresistible: Buy valuable properties for pennies on the dollar with little or no risk to your own money, work when you feel like it and grow rich.
Countless seminars and how-to books promise to turn even the novice buyer into a high-powered real-estate investor through the magic of foreclosed homes. The problem is that instant, safe, trouble-free wealth often turns out to be like most things that sound too good to be true -- a scam. If it were easy money, everyone would be getting rich off of foreclosures.
True, some people do, just like some people get rich in the stock and commodities markets, from oil wells and from foreign currencies. But, just like these other forms of investing, profitably buying and selling real estate takes research, knowledge, experience, money and time. And nearly every deal with a huge profit potential comes with an appropriately sized risk.
Beyond get-rich-quick seminars and informational classes offered by nonprofit agencies and local sheriff's offices, few professionals teach novice investors the ins and outs of foreclosure sales. Why should they show you how to buy a great property at a deep discount instead of doing the deal themselves?
Still, if you are willing to go it alone and invest the time and cash required to deal in foreclosures, your first step should be to understand the process as thoroughly as possible.
The basics
Foreclosure is the legal method by which lenders or governmental agencies take properties from owners who fail to make payments, and then resell those homes to recoup money owed them.
Nonpayment of a mortgage or home-equity loan is the most common reason a home is foreclosed, but it is far from the only reason. Homeowners could be facing a foreclosure because of a balloon payment on an adjustable-rate mortgage, not paying property taxes, not carrying enough insurance, or even failing to keep the property in good working condition, says Rande Johnsen, a trustee for Trustee Corp. in Irvine, Calif.
Foreclosures have three phases, each with its own advantages and each fraught with peril.
The 3 phases of foreclosure
• Preforeclosure: The period after the homeowner has stopped making payments but before the land is put up for sale at auction. Investors take this opportunity to deal directly with the homeowner.
• Auction: The process of the courts seizing the property from the homeowner and selling it to the highest bidder. The county sheriff or a trustee handles this process, depending on the state.
• REO: If the property fails to sell at auction, or if the lender ends up as the highest bidder, the home becomes "real-estate owned" (REO) by the bank. Banks then try to sell these REO properties on the open market, usually through a real-estate agent or third-party marketing company.
Often these homes are sold to buyers who don't know they are buying a foreclosure and go through the entire process as they would with any other home.
Going once ...
The typical foreclosure is literally bought on the county courthouse steps during a sheriff's auction or a trustee's sale. These auctions typically are held on a weekday morning, and bidders must come to the sale armed with information and flush with cash or its equivalent. Plastic, personal checks and IOUs are almost universally shunned at auction and, depending on where you live, investors usually must make a sizable deposit or pay the entire sum on the spot, says John T. Reed, editor of Real Estate Investor's Monthly newsletter and author of the book "How to Buy Real Estate For At Least 20% Below Market Value."
Details vary by state, but as a rule, prospective buyers are not allowed inside the house before bidding begins. This is a frightening concept for many buyers, who must lay down thousands of dollars in cash knowing about the home only what is available through basic public records searches and a curbside appraisal.
The house could be infested with termites, gutted to the rafters by previous residents, or filled with lead paint or asbestos, and a buyer wouldn't know until after the sale is final.
This as-is aspect of auctions is only part of what can make foreclosures so perilous for beginning buyers. Another is that these homes aren't guaranteed to have a clear title.
"You can never be absolutely sure you are going to be buying a house with a clean title in any sale, but foreclosures are particularly problematic," says John Mixon, law alumni professor at the University of Houston Law Center.
During a typical foreclosure auction, the homes that will be sold are listed in the legal-advertising section of the county's newspaper of record at least a week before the sale. That gives you a week to research the records and history for each house scheduled for auction. However, many homeowners settle their disputes with the bank at the 11th hour, halting the sale -- and rendering pointless any time, effort or expense you invested to research the home. Given these constraints, obtaining title insurance is out of the question.
But choosing to forgo title research could be infinitely more costly. "There are so many regulations, so many procedures, that if you leave out a step, a previous owner may come out of the woodworks and show this to the court and you lose everything you put into the deal," says Reed.
Even if a title blunder doesn't invalidate the sale, overlooking a lien that wasn't wiped out by the foreclosure, such as an IRS debt you now have to pay, could wipe out any profit you hoped to earn. Procedural errors and court rulings also can halt a foreclosure sale. What's more, some state laws include a statutory redemption period, allowing the original homeowners to repay the past-due amount on their loan, regain ownership and leave the investor holding the bag.
Not all hopeless
But all that doesn't mean every auction deal is hopelessly risky.
"Very few institutional foreclosures are defectively handled," Mixon says, so the best bet is to stick to homes that were foreclosed by reputable lenders -- but only if they were the first lien holder, usually through a first mortgage. If the deal was done properly on the front end, complete with title insurance, there's less likelihood that a skeleton is lurking, and about a 90% chance of getting a good title.
"If you are buying a foreclosure brought by a small or shady lender, or by a family member who lent the money, you may be looking at odds that are no better than you would get at the roulette table," Mixon says.
Government auctions
Another variation on the auction is buying properties foreclosed by a government agency, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Department of Veterans Affairs.
These auctions typically are conducted online through a marketing company. Buyers are allowed to tour the homes in advance and conduct inspections, and they often can get title insurance.
The catch? It's not much of a deal. The number of homes is limited, and multiple buyers bid on the small stock. This competitive market means prices are discounted only slightly, if at all, from market value.
Tabletop negotiations
Numerous seminars and real-estate gurus advocate directly approaching homeowners delinquent in their payments, found through legal ads or online services that search public records and courthouse documents.
Proponents call this private deal "buying equity." Investors pay the owner a fee and then take over the existing debt and the home. This protects the homeowner's credit report from the black mark of foreclosure.
Buying equity this way is difficult in a seller's market because the owner could just as easily sell the home and usually pocket a greater amount in appreciation than an investor would be willing to pay.
"Some people call this stealing property," Reed says. "It is a situation fraught with ethical problems."
And, similar to auction situations, the slightest slip-up could blow the deal, leaving the homeowner in the house and the investor out significant amounts of money. All of the title problems inherent in an auction apply in preforeclosure sales, too, except that without the legal proceedings of a foreclosure, all subordinate liens, such as home-equity loans and construction liens, remain in place.
Bargain mentality
Despite all of the potential pitfalls, interest in foreclosures runs high. Part of the attraction comes from the same motivation that makes bargain shopping trendy, says C.J. Gehlke, editorial director of The Resource, a monthly newsletter published by REO Nationwide.
"What you find is a frenzy similar to what you get at a department-store sale," she says. "When you buy a house at foreclosure, it has the same mystique. You can brag to people at a cocktail party about how much you saved."
Reed agrees that get-rich-quick fantasies are driving most buyers' interest in foreclosures. "Buying foreclosures is not something a beginner should try. Many of the gurus are out there telling crowds anything they want to hear, true or not, just to sell some books."

(SAN DIEGO, CA) -- The long-brewing legal dispute between Matt Krivicke/Lovable Dolls and Matt McMullen/RealDoll will go to trial on Monday April 12th, 2010 in the San Diego Superior Court in Vista. The lawsuit started as a simple contract dispute filed by Krivicke against Abyss Creations/McMullen (maker of RealDoll) in August of 2008 after Krivicke was laid off. Krivicke is claiming unpaid profit sharing as well as fraud claims against McMullen. Abyss responded by countersuing Krivicke and his company KnightHorse (maker of Lovable Dolls) for unfair competition, and use of intellectual property/trade secrets.
The lawsuit will finally reach its climax in front of the jury next week. The case is being held in open court and is expected to run for 2 weeks before a decision is reached. The courthouse is anxious for this interesting case to start due to the novel subject matter. With life size silicone love dolls at the center of the dispute, jurors can expect to see several doll ''witnesses'' present in the courtroom. Some may consider this a life size Barbie Vs. Bratz case...

Bringing Camelot to Broadway in 1960 was a mess. Many of those problems are still apparent today.
Alan Jay Lerner wrote a wonderful score -- some of his best work. We have lovely music. And it isn't enough to carry us though a disjointed and imperfect story. The out of town try outs ran more than four hours. You can tell the play has been cut, and it still has the feeling of a long evening where you're lifted up when the music starts and let down when it ends. Musical-tragedies bring their own challenges, and Camelot's last scene has always been a strange attempt to put a happy face on a less-than-happy ending. These are all problems from 52 years ago, and there's little a community theater production can do to solve it today.
Central Wisconsin Area Community Theater's production gets the two most important thing right. We need good singers -- and they've got 'em. And we need to feel that our three main characters - King Arthur, Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot - are merely star-crossed without a villain among them. This is more a story of "who can truly know where the heart will lead," and it only works if we feel empathy for all three.
Michael Ruhbush (Arthur) has a rich, warm baritone, and looks both royal and vulnerable. Helena Collins-Price (Guinevere) convinces you that men may indeed fight over her when she sings. Their voices tower over the rest of the cast, which leads to a challenge. Queen Guinevere falls for someone who isn't as good a singer as her betrothed.
Ronda Wadina, as Nimue, gets only one song but is a very good supporting actress. Karl Weyers disappears too early (literally) as Merlin, but is strong in his role.
There are additional shows Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 4pm at the Sentry Theater in Stevens Point.

An audit by the Commerce Department's inspector general found that the department has not taken the basic steps to develop its work force that oversees the security of the department's IT systems, reports FederalComputerWeek.
According to the audit, the department's management has not spent enough attention and resources to train its IT security workers, leaving high-impact systems vulnerable. The IG suggests more professional development and role-based training for IT security employees, as well as formal documentation of officers' duties.
For its part, the department says the audit report overstates the security issue.

Vital Signs is an annual community check-up conducted by community foundations across Canada. It provides a comprehensive, reader-friendly look at how our communities are faring in key quality-of-life areas.
This year, 26 community foundations across Canada will launch their own local Vital Signs reports on October 1st. In addition, Community Foundations of Canada will launch a national report that focuses on food.
Among Canada's 191 community foundations you'd be hard pressed to find a foundation that isn't supporting a program or organization related to food – whether it's attempting to alleviate hunger or encouraging the growing of local food – we know that interest and action around food is on the rise, as are the figures for food bank usage.
A nationwide examination of the food system in Canada gives communities a platform for discussion and action.

The Dream night could turn into a dream nightmare
The doors were finally opening, yes, you thought. All of you went running towards the doors, only to be stopped and searched by security. They checked you ticket and in you ran, straight to the front. You couldn't believe you were actually at the front. They were gonna be arms length away from you.
The opening band went on, and they were okay, you couldn't really focus on anything other than the fact that MCR would be on soon...well that and the people squishing you from behind. Is not being able to breathe worth it?...yes, you laughed to yourself.
The opening band finished, and you knew it was only a certain amount of time until the band came on. As the crew was setting up you picked at your black nail polish. This is going to be the best night ever.
"Alright boys it's show time!!" yelled Ray bursting into the dressing room.
"Damnit Gerard! How much make-up do you need?" asked Frank, "I just wanna do a little bit...can i just...?" Frank reached for the make-up.
Gerard pulled it away quickly, "Learn how to run faster Iero."
"Guys," Mikey suddenly appeared, "We're literally on in 15 minutes...hurry it up."
"I'm trying here but SOMEONE is too much of a beauty queen," Frank said sitting down on the chair rolling his eyes.
"Oh don't cry princess there you go," Gerard said handing the make-up to Frank. Gerard had two big black circles around his eyes. Hey looks pretty cool, he thought.
Once the guys were ready they moved into the hallway for a pre-show ritual.
"Alright guys," starts Ray, "These fans are here for a good time, and so are we. Let's have the best fucking night of our lives!"
"YEAHH!!" they all chanted.
The lights went out; you're heart skipped a beat. Here we go. You saw them walk on the stage...they were right there...it seems as though you lost your breath. But you didn't care...this was your dream.
They played the first few songs and it was unbelievable. They were so down to earth, especially Gerard, since he did most of the talking.
"You guys are amazing," Gerard shouted into the microphone, "This next song, is for every person that's ever been looked down upon! YOU ARE NOT LOOKED DOWN UPON TONIGHT!! Stick with us my friends, and we'll make it together...this one's called Our Lady Of Sorrows!"
They're really gonna do it. You put your hand in your pocket...your note was still there. You pull it out and hold onto it. As the song started tears came to your eyes. As Gerard sang the chorus he looked straight at you...and winked. I think I'm gonna melt, you think. Things couldn't have gone better. It's exactly what you needed.
The mosh pit was really getting crazy behind you. People falling everywhere. Normally you'd be right in there...but you didn't want to leave the presence of the band. "Woah! Pick that dude up!!" Gerard said in the middle of the song.
The song was almost done...you couldn't believe this was actually happening, now this is what life is all about. But then all of the sudden
WHACK... something hit you in the back of the head.
What the...everything's so fuzzy...What the... Val turned around and tried to grab you as you fell to the ground.

Frank and Jamie McCourt – baseball's toxic twins – have tentatively settled their personal War Of The Roses. If you wanna read the whole thing, here's a link to the WWL's story.
The bottom line is this: if Bud Selig doesn't approve the Fox TV contract with the Dodgers – the one that gives Frank McCourt a big upfront payout that he can use to bankrupt the team's future pay the bills,the settlement is toast, and Major League Baseball would probably seize the team completely and sell it.
If The Commish approves the Fox deal, then there will be a one-day trial to determine whether the Dodgers are Frank's property or Frank's & Jamie's community property. If Frank loses that one, he probably has to sell the team to pay off Jamie.
If Frank wins on both fronts, Dodger Nation loses, as he likely continues to ruin own the team.
If Jamie wins that one, Frank will probably have to sell the team in order to settle with her.

text: Stir Fried Kelp Noodles With Ground Beef, Broccoli Slaw, and Spinach Pin It Tonight I made noodles. WTF? Paleo-approved kelp noodles to be exact. Before you eat the noodles, you need to wash and drain them but you can just dump them into a stir fry or soup and to heat them up. Essentially, I followed my recipe for Asian lettuce cups but I made some substitutions (namely, no fish sauce). There was minimal prep work because the broccoli slaw, spinach, and kelp noodles were prepackaged and ready to go. I'm sad I can't use fish sauce because the dish is kind of missing something without it but I'll find myself some Paleo-approved fish sauce soon enough. Here's what I assembled: 1 small onion, minced in a mini-prep food processer 5 cloves of garlic, minced ½ pound of cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 1 pound grass fed ground beef 1 cup of organic broccoli slaw 5 ounce package of pre-washed organic baby spinach leaves 1 package of kelp noodles, rinsed with water and drained 1-2 tablespoons coconut vinegar 1-2 tablespoons coconut aminos Salt and Pepper Here's how I made the dish: I heated up the coconut oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the pan was hot, I dumped in the onions and sautéed until soft. I added the sliced mushrooms and cooked them until the moisture had cooked off. Next, I added the beef and garlic and and cooked the meat until it was no longer pink. I added a large handful of broccoli slaw… …and then I threw in the package of spinach and stirred that around until the leaves were wilted. Then, I tossed in my kelp noodles… …added the coconut aminos and vinegar, and waited until the noodles softened to the consistency I liked (around 3-5 minutes). I did a final taste for seasoning and added some salt and pepper. Not too shabby for fake noodles. I do miss the fish sauce and the sweetness from oyster sauce. Maybe next time, I'll add a little bit of apple juice for sweetness.
