Home Affordable Loan Modifications Begin
If you've been following our coverage of President Obama's Home Affordable Loan Modification program, you're well aware we've been waiting over a month for loan servicers to get their processes figured out.
The program was announced March 5th and just yesterday, Ocwen Financial Corporation announced they have begun accepting applications. And…they've also increased the their staff by over 65%! So while you'll probably have to wait, maybe it won't be as long as you think?
Many industry experts agree that Ocwen's processes and computer systems allow it to move more quickly than most traditional servicers, which is probably why they've been first to respond to the Home Affordable Modification guidance. As a matter of fact, according to Ocwen, their customized loan mod packages have a much lower re-default rate than most of the industry.
A re-default is when a homeowner has a successful modification to their mortgage and then goes into default again within a few months after they start the program. Services have been struggling to get their re-default rates below 50%. That's why many servicers have such stringent requirements before they'll modify a loan…they don't want you to re-default and have to go through the whole foreclosure and/or loss mitigation process again.
But Ocwen has been able to get their re-default rate of only 24% after 6 months, while the industry average is 41% of modified loans re-defaulting within 6 months. Even though the vast majority of Ocwen's customers have sub-prime loans, they have still acheived this remarkably low re-default rate.
If Ocwen Services Your Loan
If Ocwen is your servicer and you believe you qualify for a Home Affordable Loan Modification, you should download the paperwork you need to fill out and send in to Ocwen. This package also lists the verification documents you need to submit.
What Happens After You Apply?
According to the Ocwen web site:
Please understand that until you send us the required information listed in the financial package in the link below, it is not necessary to speak to one of our representatives because we will need to have this information in order to identify the possible options that may be available to you.
Do not delay! We encourage you to send this information as soon as possible. It is very important that the information is accurate, complete and legible. Please send copies. Do not send originals.
Once we receive the required information, please allow 10 days for us to respond. You will then receive a phone call or a letter from us.
What If You Don't Qualify?
If you don't qualify under the President's modification plan, you should apply under Ocwen's normal modification initiative. You can get more information at the Ocwen web site.
What If Ocwen Doesn't Service My Loan?
If Ocwen isn't your servicer, this is still good news for you because it means we're one step closer to major servicers coming on line.
As I posted Monday, Bank of America/Countrywide expects to begin taking Home Affordable Modification applications within a couple weeks.
Foreclosure Moratorium Ends
Unfortunately, though, many lenders are beginning to process foreclosures again after several months of a foreclosure moratorium. According to the Wall Street Journal today, J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac all say they've begun processing foreclosure actions again. The other major lenders probably won't be far behind unfortunately.
I'd expect most of the major servicers to begin processing Home Affordable Loan Modifications before the end of April. If you get a foreclosure notice from your servicer in the mean time…contact them immediately.

Amazonian Butterflies Drink Turtle Tears
The sight of butterflies flocking onto the heads of yellow-spotted river turtles in the western Amazon rain forest is not uncommon, at least if one is able to sneak up on the skittish reptiles. But the reason why butterflies congregate onto the turtles may be stranger than you think: to drink their tears.
Image: Butterflies in the Amazon have been observed flocking onto the heads of turtles to drink their tears, which provide the animals with a vital source of the mineral sodium. Credit: Jeff Cremer
The butterflies are likely attracted to the turtles' tears because the liquid drops contain salt, specifically sodium, an important mineral that is scant in the western Amazon, said Phil Torres, a scientist who does much of his research at the Tambopata Research Center in Peru and is associated with Rice University.
Unlike butterflies, turtles get plenty of sodium through their largely carnivorous diet. Meat contains significant levels of the salt, Torres told LiveScience. But herbivores sometimes struggle to get enough sodium and other minerals, he added. "They end up needing this extra mineral source," he said.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. Omg revelation.
Oh my god.
Nobody cares but I hate butterflies with a passion and if I don't hurt animals when I see this little flying colored paper I feel uncomfortable. Let me tell why, when I was around 10 we went with my family to the Amazonian region, one day I was on a river-shore and I was attacked by butterflies there where so many and they were sucking on my skin. I could feel it. with they enormous trunk and when you try to kill them there is wing-powder falling and they wouldn't go away I had to go underwater and I was so disgusted later… And I had not idea what was happening.
Now I know. Pretty butterflies still hating you babies, it's not you it's me.
In Ecuador we have a thing it's called Colada Morada and it's my favorite thing ever. This bad boy:
Now in Europe I have found a decent replacement a generic French smoothie
It's not Colada Morada but if you heat it with sugar and cinnamon then it's a sound replacement I'm so happy :D
… The couple in the apartment next to mine was having sex and then out of nowhere the girl started laughing a lot. What is going on there I wonder.
Paper walls.
Information sheet for application to a degree: Other activities?
Does advanced fanfic writing count?
Hello Dad how are you I called 'cause...
Oh honey, you remembered your mom birthday!
I... did.... I yes! I did naturally that's why I'm calling. Pass me to her.
I think the things I miss the most from Ecuador are the mountains I never knew which hill or which mountain was which but I liked them all the same, and Chinese food, but Ecuadorian Chinese food. Peruvian works too though.
It's stupid very stupid but animals of the Megafauna scare the shit out of me like I don't care about murders, ghosts and such but the idea of a woolly rhinoceros can keep me up at night.
Can the conclusion of my paper be: I suck, this translation sucks, I'm so sorry. Because that's what I just wrote in fancy words.
Today I Skyped with my mom and she told me she was reading 50 Shades of Grey and I mocked her and she told me I'm an intolerant little shit and shamed me until I told he I would give it a shot. Now I have to read 50 Shades of Grey for my honor. Great.

The Cartel
Teachers punished for speaking out. Principals fired for trying to do the right thing. Union leaders defending the indefensible. Bureaucrats blocking new charter schools. These are just some of the people we meet in "The Cartel." The film also introduces us to teens who can't read, parents desperate for change, and teachers struggling to launch stable alternative schools for inner city kids who want to learn. Behind every dropout factory, we discover, lurks a powerful, entrenched, and self-serving… Show more

Created by
In Bob Bowdon's documentary, "The Cartel,'' you can tell when an educational fact or statistic is important. A telestrator boxes or circles it. Or the narration takes advantage of rhetorical devices, telling us: let's do this, or, if you look up that. The names of new chapters are scribbled on a cartoon chalkboard: "Unions,'' "Patronage,'' "Vouchers.'' Actually, everything in Bowdon's rant about America's woeful public school system is important, including Bowdon.(Full review)

Rangers Hire Hamilton's Father-In-Law For Support

Sports Fan Insider
ARLINGTON (AP) – The Texas Rangers have hired Josh Hamilton's father-in-law as a staff special assistant.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels says Michael Dean Chadwick will fill a support role for the slugger that was left vacant when Johnny Narron left in November to become Milwaukee's hitting coach.
Narron joined the Rangers when Hamilton was acquired four years ago in a trade from Cincinnati. His primary role was to support Hamilton, the former No. 1 overall draft pick who rebounded from substance abuse problems to become the 2010 AL MVP and a four-time All-Star.
Last season, Narron added the title of major league assistant hitting coach. The Rangers don't plan to hire anyone to fill that role.
Chadwick will be like an accountability partner for Hamilton and travel with the team.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child had a 504 of which the math teacher thought it best for the student to sit in the back of the class near him. My student failed the semester because they were more interested in all the movement in the class (ADD has that tendency to do that to you). On several occasions we dealt with bullying and the vice principle was so patronizing that I felt he was just saying anything to get us out of his office. The principle has a reputation for drinking and getting arrested for DUI. Great influence for our children. P.E. if your child does not "fill" out the log "correctly" of what they did that day and have a parent signature they "fail" Even if they are extremely great at P.E. Very disappointed.
Arroyo Seco offers curriculum-based courses that challenge any student willing to put in the effort. Biology required the standard lessons and the memorization of 100 Latin prefix and suffixes. My student is now noticing that he can figure out words without the dictionary, if he can recognize the Latin. The teachers are well suited to work with Junior High students and the Principal seems to know everything that happens on campus and is wel versed in the upcoming Common Core requirements. Arroyo Seco offers an array of exploratory, elective courses. My 7th grader had stained glass, beginning drawing, ceramics and wood shop. Each course lasts 10 weeks. Note that ceramics starts with wet clay. Wood shop students work with hand and power tools. Stained glass finds students cutting glass, soldering copper and bringing home beautiful work. Arroyo Seco also offers cooking, dance, show choir, band, one theatrical performance per year, and much more.
My school, ASJH, is basically the best school in the Santa Clarita Valley. I used to be a terrible student, all throughout elementary school, until I came to this school. It's an amazing experience, for anyone really. I was nervous to come here at first, thinking I was going to ruin my chances of having a good future because of my bad habits of not doing work, but the teachers shaped me up and actually tried helping me. I now enjoy school, I'm a straight A student and I couldn't be doing better. This school is amazing. The electives are super fun, they're all super different too. There's a wood class, which not a lot of schools have, and there's ceramics, percussion, culinary; etc. They want us to try new things and I am so happy that I had the chance to come to this school. I am now in tenth grade, and I'm more than happy. Arroyo Seco will always have a special place in my heart. The principals are all really cool too, usually principals are weird and creepy but Mr. Miller and Mrs. Durand are amazing. This school is the junior high. I recommend it to any parent who has a child that is going into middle school.
While this school has many very excellent teachers doing their best, they suffer from poor leadership. Students graduating from Arroyo Seco are not high school ready like those at neighboring Rio Norte nor are they inspired to achieve greatness much less mediocrity. Once a CA Distinguished school... not sure what happened at Seco.
I love Arroyo Seco Jr High because of the teachers and curriculum. The students are challenged and the teachers make sure they stay on track and absorb as much knowledge as possible.
Great staff, nice campus and good kids.
im heading out to Saugus HS next year . as a former student, i feel that this school offers so much to kids that want to succeed in life. teachers and staff alike are very involved with the development of the student body and i'm very glad that i went here .
Greatest school ever that my child has ever attended.
This school ist The best school. I kno im only 13 but i feel that most of the parents agree with me when i say that this school rocks. i love all the teachers that i have come to know. im now heading into the eighth grade there. and look forward to it. but there is one thing i do have to say is that i apologise for not living up to what i could have been, i was lazy and ungratefull. butt what teen isnt in some areas. i know that my brain can expand more and more. i love arroyo seco soooo much, and the one person that made this possible is my 7th grade math teacher, Franka Koeller. it is said that she retired but life happens. so heres to mrs koeller, the best teacher possible! - Brian Meloni
As a former student, I feel that I had very only 3-4 good teachers in my two years there. There was little variety or options when it came to electives. The principal has really not helped the school since she came. PE classes were uneducational and unnessecary. If it weren't for the few great teachers like Mr. Dannerth, Mr. Moore, Mrs. Tracy, and Mr. Nez, this school would be an utter trainwreck. I feel like I could have had a much more enriching and dynamic experience elsewhere.
I think that Arroyo Seco is a great junior high
ASJH has been a terrific experience for uor daughter. The only downfall is that it has been under construction for the entire school year and had limited some of the classes available. The curriculum seems to be right on target and the administration works very had to make things work smoothly. All in all a vwery nice school.

Mounting .vhdp files?? | 4 comments | Create New Account

Mounting .vhdp files??
.vhdp files can be mounted in the Finder?? I'm sure I tried that and it didn't work.
Mounting .vhdp files??
I've done it using Acronis TrueImage, although I wouldn't go and spend the money on TrueImage for a one-off. You could probably use other imaging utilities, too.
Mounting .vhdp files??
Yes, the Finder can mount some .vphd files, but only ones that are FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS formatted (I'm not absolutely sure of this, but I'm willing to bet that NTFS support is Read-Only) and are not attached to VM that is currently running or in a saved state.

Time traveler from Ming Dynasty spotted yesterday in Washington Square Park!
The cupboard reads, "Time traveler from Ming Dynasty. Trapped in NYC needs $ to return[.]"
The Chinese inscription underneath says, 【不才乃自大明而来[,]受困纽约急需银两[。]】
I chatted with him, who, as a matter of fact, turns out to be an NYU freshman in CAS. He says he came from Taiwan (not Ming Dynasty from 600 hundred years ago! LOL). I didn't get to ask him why he decided to put up this act in the park, but Generasian did get him to do the Gangnam Style horse-riding dance!
Video will be up on our tumblr blog and YouTube channel soon. Stay tuned, lovelies~! <3

Creatine is a small peptide compound composed of L-Arginine, Glycine, and L-Methionine, it is found in cardiac and muscle tissues of animals and humans, and acts as a reservoir for phosphate in a creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine form. Cells in the body known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are used for energy. Upon use it gets converted to ADP or AMP, there is an protein, adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK), that facilitates the conversion of AMP to ADP conversions. The creatine form found in the cell reservoirs help regenerate ADP to ATP so refuels the metabolic processes.
The process of supplementing creatine increases the overall pool of creatine and phosphocreatine in the cells. This increase results in improved regeneration of ADP to ATP conversions and increases cellular energy storage. Resulting in improved power output, increased high-intensiy exercise capacity and promotes lean body mass. Supplementing Creatine with Beta-Alanine has shown to have a synergistic effect with improved performance and strength.
Creatine Monohydrate is the naturally occurring form of creatine and is the most cost effective for supplementing. Nausea, cramping, stomach and digestive irritation can occur when not taken with liquids and when too much of a dose is taken all at once. It is best to split high loading phase dosages throughout the day to avoid stomach and digestive irritation as well as improve absorption. Taking with meals can also reduce the occurrence of cramping or stomach irritation.
Creatine can be supplemented through a loading phase to saturate creatine levels in the body. During this loading phase, 20 grams of creatine intake for 5-7 days and only 2g afterwards on a daily basis to retain the elevated levels of creatine. If performed in a cycling pattern, 20 grams for 5-7 days followed by three weeks of 2 grams daily. For most users, 5 grams on an daily basis will be more than sufficient in improving strength and endurance while training.
Our brand of Creatine Monohydrate is micronized (200 Mesh) for improved absorption and easier mixing with liquids.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take 5 grams (~2/3 tbsp or ~2 tsp) daily or as suggested by health professional. Preferably mixed with juice, water or shakes.
Allergens: This product contains no Soy, Milk & Byproducts, Eggs, Fish, Shellfish, Wheat, Gluten, Tree Nuts, or Sesame Seeds.
GMO-Free: This is a NON-GMO ingredient produced with organic material.
Vegetarian Status: Does not contain animal or dairy products.

The creatine.shipped fast. Its at a very good price. And i have noticed a slight boost in my workouts. Exactly what i expected when i.bought the product.
Posted by Jeremiah Dixon on 2nd Aug 2014
High quality creatine that dissolves in seconds.
Posted by Mannnny <3 on 1st Aug 2014
Awesome, mixes great.
Posted by Germain Giner on 10th Jul 2014
We know creatine monohydrate is creatine monohydrate, the most effective and most researched of all the 'muscle' supplements'. This 200 mesh, very, very finely powderized version is the best way to get the creatine into your system. Micronized creatine not only mixes more easily, it stays in solution longer, way less residue left behind after knocking back a dose, way less toothy grit while knocking back that dose.
Try it, you'll see, a pretty big difference--
Posted by Jimmie Thongkham on 24th Jun 2014
Shipping was quick, about a week. Micronized means it dissolves quicker and easier so theres no clumps, which is a plus. Came in two 500 grams bags (i ordered 1kg) , which i wasnt expecting but actually makes it easier to handle. Suprised theres no bitter taste to it, howeveer i only mixed it with juice and milk so far. Would reccomend to a friend!
Posted by Unknown on 16th Jun 2014
Great product! Fast shipping!
Posted by Jon Martin on 27th May 2014
I'm a pro arm wrestler and started on this creatine and deff noticed a diff in strength and no bloating either
Posted by chad on 21st May 2014
This is some if the best creatine that I have tried. It is not labeled as micronized but it is some of the finest creatine powder that I have seen.

I just finished a 500g of CEE creatine ethel ester and always felt that I was not getting the jolt I should have or none at all. Now I find out that test show that CEE is crap and degrades to creatinine so fast you never get any creatine to your muscles! I started back on the mono and bang...back in the ball game. This is the stuff you want. Mix with juice and slam it cuz the sugar makes it work much better. Check this out: http://www.supplementjudge.net/does-it-work/what-is-creatine-ethyl-ester/#comment-1003
Posted by Unknown on 17th Feb 2013
This is the easiest blending creatine I've ever used. Check your weights though - this powder is so fine it weighs lighter per volume. I've found I need just less than two tsp for 5 grams. Product is sold by weight of course so this doesn't affect how many servings you get.

This is a priceless place Jim. Horton's Bay on Pike Lake about twelve miles from Charlevoix. About three hundred miles north of here. It is great northern air. Absolutely the best trout fishing in the country. No exaggeration. Fine country. Good color, good northern atmosphere, absolute freedom, no summer resort stuff and lots of paintable stuff. And if you want to do portraits. You shall do portraits... It's a great place to laze around and swim and fish when you want to. And the best place in the world to do nothing. It is beautiful country Jim.— Ernest Hemingway, Letter to Jim Gamble, April 1919
What's Behind the "Pine Lake" Name
Pine Lake's founders have family history in Northern Michigan. Lake Charlevoix has always been a retreat for both men. Spending time on the water fishing, builiding sand castles, boating and sailing is great for the soul and something that everyone should be lucky enough to experience.
While reading some historical literature on Lake Charlevoix, it was suggested that some people once knew it as "Pine Lake". When naming the business in 2004 we were sitting on dock in Boyne City and decided that instead of having a trendy dot-com style name, we would choose something that inspires and reminds us of why we work hard and why we take so much pride in the quality of serivce.
Hoping to recruit Matt Borgman to Northern Michigan, Dylan sent him a copy of a letter written by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway's letter was originally mailed to a friend after both men had completed their service in the Armed Forces together. Hemingway spoke of Charlevoix, pike fishing and the supreme beauty and peacefulness our area has to offer. Hemingway, like Pine Lake, felt that spending time Up North would help gain better perspective on life. A selected quote from the letter is to the right.
Our values and everything we love about Up North — family, friends, outdoors, beauty, retreat — is summed up in the two words, Pine Lake. Our business name reminds of those values every morning.
If you feel the same way about Michigan or if you live in a different part of the world and believe that life exists beyond your office walls then you sound like the type of client we enjoy working with.

Venus and Mars – Debilitated Planets
On August 11 Venus will move into Virgo, where she is debilitated.
On August 18 Mars will move into cancer, where he is debilitated.
Venus and Mars – Debilitated Planets – VIDEO
So, what is a debilitated planet?
It certainly doesn't sound very good, does it?
Debilitation is part of what is called "dignity". This is a way to evaluate the relative strength of a planet. Actually, it goes most directly to the level of intelligence and "consciousness" coming from the planet. There are group of classifications in astrology called "Avasthas", which measure different properties and principles of the planets. When a planet is debilitated it is in an "unconscious" state – in Sushupti Avastha.
It is often surprising for astrology students to realize that even a planet in an unconscious state may produce good results. For instance, debilitated Jupiter may give us a lot of money. Debilitated Saturn may give us a great career for a long time. However, the feeling and the level of consciousness operating with that money or in that career will still be seen by the dignity of the planet.
For instance, we may get a lot of money, but not be able to enjoy it or be able to connect to the true nature of that Jupiter, which is to expand our mind toward greater wisdom and meaning. We may have a great career, and be very successful. Yet, have no fulfillment, and be a domineering tyrants, or just clutching to a shallow form of worldly power that hides our deeper fear of being authentic / Taking a risk / following our heart.
Case study on debilitated Mars: Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan, the great athlete, has a debilitated Mars. This may surprise you, given what you think about Mars and its connection to athletics and competition. As was said, we cannot make a hasty decision about a planet based on one thing.
In the chart of Michael Jordan, Mars is not only debilitated, it is his ruling planet. Which means, it does form a Raja yoga (A Royal Association), and basically defines his nature.
In his case it was even more powerful, being joined Rahu – who also forms Raja yoga, aspect of by Saturn which also forms Raja yoga, etc.
But let's examine this a little further. It would be easy to say that Michael Jordan's debilitated Mars "doesn't work in his case", because he was able to defeat his adversaries and win, a big Mars goal.
But when we look a little deeper into Mars, something else is revealed.The True Nature of MarsMars is not about continually competing against our adversaries, and being driven to win at all costs ( regardless of whether we win or not). That is a dysfunctional Mars. The true nature of Mars is to fight our inner battles and fight the good fight. The reason Michael Jordan's Mars allowed him to win and be a ruthless competitor, is because of its debilitation. In fact, it is a function of its debilitation.
Even after everyone declared Michael Jordan to be the best basketball player ever, ( including his peers) he was still not satisfied. He had to try another comeback, at an advanced age, to prove himself still again. Even at his Hall of Fame acceptance speech, he was still competing, trying to avenge old grudges. In fact, it's pretty sad to watch, Especially in comparison to other athletes and their gracious acceptance speeches. Google "Michael Jordan Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech" to see what I mean.
Debilitated Venus and Mars – Disrupting Relationships Mainly
When Venus is debilitated we have a hard time enjoying what we have. We may be a bit nitpicky and find fault with a lot of things. As Venus is our capacity for happiness, and it's better when were easily pleased, ( as shown by Venus exalted in Pisces). Venus in Virgo is not so easily pleased.
Mars debilitated in Cancer brings a lot of emotions into our sense of discipline and structure. Often We vacillate between being overly aggressive (in order to prove ourselves) or an undisciplined mess. Our emotions in the moment (Cancer) are not the best support for actions (Mars). It's very easy to experience emotional frustration when Mars is weakened.
Mars and Venus are important in romantic relationships, as they rule the self (Mars) and compromising with the other (Venus). When one is very strong or very weak, it is usually a good time to emphasize the other. For example, with Venus debilitated, it is better to emphasize more Mars actions in your relationship, more individuality, pursuing your separate goals. When Mars is weak, it's better to pursue more Venus stuff, compromise, lovey-dovey stuff, etc.
However, when both are weak, our sense of individuality feels weak, so we try to compromise with the other – which also doesn't feel so good - as they get on our nerves.
So now what to do?Well, I don't know!
The best thing is to realize you may be kind of fussy and hard to please and just accept that. Also, a good sense of humor never hurt anyone or any relationship. Realize that you may that kind of lazy and be sliding on your discipline. Be careful blaming others for it and nitpicking them over it.
Before you start blaming the other person and nitpicking them, look at yourself. That's about the best advice I can give. I'll even try to put it into practice myself.Number of Views :7561

COA Sail-up BBQ August 30th
Had a great time with everyone! See you later!
Highlights of the BBQ
A great weekend with the COA
Thursday, 05 June 2014 15:21
It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend for the sailors of the COA Midsummer Rally. With a wide range of wind conditions, from the very light breeze of Day 1 to the stiff blow on Day 3, our boats, crews, and skippers were tested in a variety of circumstances. The pursuit format appeared to work well with several owners reporting that they enjoy this type of event. I found myself head to head right to the finish with boats of similar capability, which is of course, what a pursuit race is all about. At each party the participants made new friends and strengthened connections with those they had not seen in a while. The competition and the conversations were lively throughout the long weekend!
I want to personally use this opportunity, on behalf of the COA, to thank each and every one of the skippers and crew for your support and participation in this inaugural event. The rally may have taken you to parts of Hong Kong you may not normally sail, and that we have helped you to test and expand your seamanship skills.
Detailed results from the entire Midsummer Rally are attached.
As this is a brand new format for the COA, we would welcome your feedback regarding what aspects you liked or not, along with any suggestions or ideas on how we can add to the Rally experience. Did you like the pursuit format? Was the timing and format well managed? How can it be enhanced? Did you enjoy the parties and other arrangements? We have received a lot of positive comments about the rally and encouragement to run it in the COA calendar again next year.
Naturally, as with any new venture members have made some suggestions, not the least was about the cost of the weekend. The COA confirms that the events operate at cost and to reduce them we would need to cut back on what is provided. So if you have suggestions about the food or the standard of the food, the sampan services or other arrangements were unnecessary or required, then please let us know.
As you will appreciate, an event on this scale requires an enormous time commitment from council members, all of whom are volunteers. These volunteers have to balance this with their day jobs and family commitments. We always love to entertain new volunteers and if any of you are willing to join the Council, or support our local events, you would be more than welcome to talk to the COA, so do please get in touch. The COA Council wish to thank the volunteers from the DBYC without whom we could not have run the first part of the Rally so smoothly. We also wish to thank the management and staff of the Silvermine Beach Resort, the Aberdeen Boat Club, especially the staff at the Middle Island, and everyone at the HHYC who helped us with a great final party.
We must also thank the sponsors of our new "mobile rewards card" (which is in your email box awaiting collection) including and especially, Liquid Asset, who kindly sponsored the opening beers, featuring London Pride, which enabled us to collect over HK$9,000 for the various charities supported by the Clubs that we visited.
The COA HK is probably the largest independent sailing organisation in Asia, with members drawn from all the Hong Kong yacht clubs. The COA is a great way to meet yachtsmen & women from all over Hong Kong and Macau, share local knowledge, and make full use of Hong Kong's fabulous cruising grounds.

This just in: The National Organization for Marriage, also known as Gay-Haters Against Civil Rights, is now courting gays in its fight against gay marriage. So spread the word and help them recruit! Because if we learned anything from politics over the last few years, it's that discriminatory beliefs are much more palatable when they are espoused by a member of the minority group most affected. Oh, and that divide and conquer ALWAYS works.

I am thankful for the time spent with the Pittsburgh Steelers and wish them continued success."
Lewis is the fourth starter to leave since free agency started.

He's talking about how his father used to work in the steel mill. He's talking about how certain talents and abilities don't always run in families. Sometimes you just have a special gift. It took me a while to actually understand what he meant by that too!

Pirro called up to replace Spies at Brno
20 August 2013 – Ducati tester Michele Pirro has been called up by Pramac for this weekend's Czech Grand Prix in response to the latest injury suffered by Ben Spies at Indianapolis.
Pramac has often substituted for Spies this season, the latter spending seven races on the sidelines after the Grand Prix of the Americas with persistent shoulder pain.
Upon his return at the Brickyard, Spies crashed out in practice and dislocated his left shoulder, with a further medical assessment due to take place in Texas on Tuesday.
"I'll try to come back as soon as possible, but I also want to come back at 100 percent," said Spies. "There's no reason for me to rush back just to fill the grid, but definitely this injury is nothing like the right shoulder; the pain is very bad right now, but the healing process won't be anything near the other one.
"We just need to do the right things, follow the doctors' orders again and rehab. This injury won't even affect me in a few months."
Spies' latest injury means he will have missed at least nine races of the campaign.

Although the ancient Egyptians probably had some form of theater as early as 4000 B.C., most of our information about drama's origins comes from the Greeks. I once knew an uproarious stage manager who, disillusioned by countless tours with theatrical turkeys, insisted that an important part of theater history had been lost. We all know of the masks of comedy and tragedy, she theorized, but there was another, long-forgotten mask that represented a third age-old dramatic experience: agony. Set in modern Greece, Botho Strauss's The Tourist Guide introduces us to a man who is making a pilgrimage to the homeland of Plato and Aristotle in the hope of adding some philosophical impetus to his woeful life. Although I couldn't tell from Strauss's pseudo-absurdist exercise if the man succeeds, I did discover enough evidence among the ruins of this stupefyingly pretentious American premiere (at downtown Miami's 3rd Street Black Box) to support my friend's contention.
The two-act play opens at Mount Olympus, where French and history teacher Martin (Andrew Noble) listens to his pretty guide Kristine's (Jennifer Smith) recitation of facts about Greece's legendary arena, which she supplements with furtive glances at her clipboard. Although Martin speaks with a German accent and Kristine seems as American as apple pie, we are left to guess their nationalities and backgrounds; this ambiguity turns out to be an ominous sign of problems to come. Burned out and facing a midlife crisis, Martin has taken a six-month leave from teaching his adolescent students because, as he confides later, he is tired of "trying to talk them out of their desperation. But there is no life without despair." Kristine, who is substituting on the tours for her ailing boyfriend, soon tumbles into Martin's bed, showing him a few things not found in the Fodor's guide. Before long she has taken over the teacher's holiday bungalow, turning it into a sickroom for her boyfriend Vassili (Jason "Sky" Allen), who is drinking himself to death because, as she tells the furious Martin, "the idea that the world spins on its axis drives him mad."
In nearly two dozen emotionally charged but contextually barren scenes, the young guide and the middle-aged teacher compete in an Olympiad of mind games. In one of these, Kristine prefaces making love with Martin by asking him for money to pay Vassili's fare home to Germany. In another she holds a vigil for days (or hours, or weeks -- in Strauss's timeless world, who can tell?) outside Martin's room before running off to be with Vassili. Eventually, after her young lover's death, Kristine accompanies Martin to a remote cabin, where the two grapple with their relationship while some strong, unnamed force keeps them trapped within the house. From beginning to end, Strauss's short scenes show the couple only in the midst of stormy outbursts, completely dismissing underlying motivations and consequences.
Given lines such as "It's the helplessness in him I have to help" -- Kristine's defense of her codependent nature -- it is tempting to blame Anthony Vivis and Tinch Minter's translation from the original German for the gibberish that passes for dialogue. But the only way the pair could have botched their job badly enough to make the play this incomprehensible is if they had written each sentence of the script on a separate piece of paper and thrown them all into the air, then randomly assembled them.
Strauss, born in 1944, also writes poetry and fiction; this dramatic effort was first presented in its original German as Die FremdenfYhrerin in Berlin in 1985, before undergoing a 1987 transformation into its present English-language form for a London production. While mimicking many hallmarks of the absurdist genre, The Tourist Guide brings a whole new connotation to theater of the absurd.
When critic Martin Esslin coined that term in his 1962 book of the same title, he strove to categorize the works of several post-World War II playwrights with an expression that referred to the nonsensical dialogue and often aimless action found in their works. Like Samuel Beckett, Strauss writes minimal dialogue for many of his characters, and some have no lines at all: Vassili never speaks, and the role of his sister is so slight that it doesn't even warrant credit in the program. But his play's verbal bouts of elevated passions are less effective than Beckett's mundane musings. His dialogue, like that of Harold Pinter, also eludes easy analysis -- "The light is a steady stream of letters," for example. His action, told in too many quick-cut scenes, comes across as considerably less compelling than Pinter's. Finally, following Eugene Ionesco's lead, his work seems to have a political subtext, yet allegorical allusions to Kristine's instinctive female nature and Martin's rational male nature are not nearly as novel or well-grounded as Ionesco's perplexing real-life parallels. As an absurdist, Strauss is like Beckett, Pinter, and Ionesco, only without that trio's humanity, humor, or talent.
An unimaginative cast magnifies the play's shortcomings. Noble ignores opportunities to invest Martin with any degree of shading or personality. Are his stilted anecdotes about Proust a sign of his professorial personality or his attempt to play Svengali to young Kristine? Likewise, Smith never intimates if Kristine's intentions are more mercenary than sincere, and she often relies on the volume of her voice to express feeling. Left only to cough and pass out, Allen turns in the production's best performance.

Audacity hogs disk space on Windows 7
I began using Audacity to convert my Dad's old lp's and cassettes to cd's.
But unfortuantly, after two conversions I found Audacity was taking up 21.2 gigs of disk space in {C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Local\Temp\audacity_temp}?! An obsence amount of space for the program's nature (small music files). These files were also extremly fragmented, so instead of defraging I just choose to get rid of audacity altogether.
I don't know if this is isolated to Seven or not, but a google search reaped no results on this issue for other operating systems.
After removing Audacity my HDD performance has gone 14% and booting is much faster.
