As always, nicely done!
Very nice! You should do a PSD of each postcard as well as sell those on GraphicRiver! I bet they would sell very well! Great Stuff!
Thanks! I might try that!
I love it!! great design as always
FluxVFX!!!This is beyond AWESOME!!! I beg you to do what rpm3dinc suggested and sell the postcard PSDs on graphicriver. I would buy them in a heartbeat! Excellent, excellent work.
thanks for the kind words! I might try out graphicriver, need to power up on my Photoshop skills first
great project but my AE CS6 (64bit) keeps crashing upon loading this project. No error message….just loads the project sit there for a second or two and then AE Crashes.
It doesn't look like you've purchased the template?
friend gave me a copy to test with…Im assuming he bought it…dont know…
So Im not sure what the deal is but I went ahead and purchased it for myself to see if he just had a corrupt file but when I downloaded it crashed on me as well….I took a video of whats happening so I can send it to you if you give me contact info
Not sure what the deal was but I went and purchased the project for myself but still have the same crashing problems.
Beautiful template! Though, I'm experiencing the same crashing problems as currysteph. I'm going to look into this more… running CS6. Thanks!
please let me know if you were able to open it or need more help, thanks!
I'm still unable to open the template, but I'm getting a new graphics card so we'll see if that works. Thanks again!
Hello, I'm still experiencing the same problem. I contacted Adobe Tech Support and they said it's an issue with the template. Do you have any solutions or know why this template is not opening correctly? I'm using a PC, AE CS6. Thanks!
please send me an email via my profile page so I can try to help you
I'm interested in buying this template. However, I use CS6. May I know what's causing the crashing of this template? Thanks for any info.
Hi! That's only for certain people. I've had three users with that issue and it almost always has to do with their system set up, not up to date software, etc
Very nice! Good luck man (Y)
This is crashing every time it opens in after effects like other purchasers have said. Do you have a fix for this, I am super bummed right now! Can I get a refund?
Hi dyore, I do have a solution, I'm about to email you right now. If you are still interested in getting a refund I totally understand. You'll need to contact Envato support to get that going.
Tried it on my mac and my pc and it crashes the minute you open it up!
Dear FluxVFX, we have purchased your template and we cannot open it nor use it it is crashing the software every time we try to open it. Our software is after effects CS6 64bit please send us a correct link urgently so we can use it. my email is email@example.com or email@example.com
Hi rouiae, The project is marked for CC only because a few people were having issues in CS6. I changed the required version a few weeks ago until I can get the file fixed. Based on my communication with the users that were having crashing issues it looks like it's the Intro and Closing Stamp animation that is causing the problem. The rest of the template works fine. If you'd like a CS6 version that has the stamp animation removed please let me know. I apologize for the inconvenience, hopefully I'll have some time in the next coming weeks to get it fixed up.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2008 -- An inspirational journey of a boy who sets out to investigate the direct link between diet and disease and in the process discovers the world's simplest cure for cancer: THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH, written and directed by Steve Kroschel, will premiere at The Quad Cinema in New York City on November 14, 2008 with a platform release to follow.
Film critic Ronnie Scheib of Variety says the film is "courting controversy." The NYCMovieGuru, Avi Offer sees the film as "a vital, provocative and enlightening documentary. You'll be talking about it for weeks!"
Hailing from a small town in Alaska, 15-year-old Garrett lives on a wild animal reserve. After the accidental and tragic death of his mother, Garrett began spiraling downward. His father withdrew him from school to prevent him from flunking out, after which he was home-taught. Garrett's father recognized his son's interest in the dietary habits of their animals and assigned a book written by Dr. Max Gerson, which maintains that there is a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer.

TUM Asia celebrates its largest graduating cohort
08.08.2014, Campus news
The TUM Asia 2014 Graduation Ceremony marked the conferral of approximately 100 Bachelor and Master degrees, including the commencement of the pioneer cohort from the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering programme, at the branch university's 11th and largest graduation since its establishment in 2002. "Don't ever stop asking questions and keep pushing against the boundaries set for you," said Managing Director of TUM Asia, Dr Markus Wächter.
The Guest of Honour, Dr Steffan Koch, the Acting Head of Mission from the German Embassy Singapore, was present to support TUM Asia in its ambition to educate and equip young individuals with German engineering excellence. TUM Asia, the first German academic venture abroad, was established by Technische Universität München (TUM) to bring German engineering to Asia. Students who successfully complete their Bachelor or Master programmes locally are awarded the same degrees as their German counterparts in TUM, with no differentiation since they are taught by the same professors.
Approximately 400 guests were present to witness this milestone, including guests from TUM Asia's educational and industrial partnerships. Notable guests present included representatives of industry partners such as Airbus Group Innovations South Asia, BASF South East Asia, Continental Automotive, Rohde & Schwarz and SDV Logistics. Dr Marc Rudolf Jung, Head of Global Research Center Singapore at BASF South East Asia, offered up a congratulatory address to the Class of 2014. Dr Jung gave a point of view as an industry specialist, noting that his career was never planned. He encouraged all graduates to take the chances as they went along, reminding them that life was most enjoyed by taking it by what it offered.
The partnerships with local institutions such as Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), along with the alliances with industrial partners, have allowed TUM Asia graduates to carve out a successful niche in the industry. Most graduates have received starting salaries on par or higher than their peers from the local universities, equipping them with a strong head start on a path towards a successful career. The majority of those graduates are employed in world renowned businesses in Singapore and the surrounding developing countries, with the remainder being employed in Europe.
Danish student wins "Best Student Project Award"
This year's graduation was extremely significant for some, one being Lee Poh Sein, the Valedictorian from the Class of 2014. Poh Sein, who was initially uninterested in pursuing a higher education, credits his outstanding results and a developed public speaking skill to the university. "Our professors inspired us, ignited our imagination and instilled a love of learning in us" he noted during his speech. Torsten Nielsen, a Danish student who decided to pursue his Masters with a German university after a successful stint as a Eramus student in Berlin, graduated from TUM Asia with a Masters in Transport & Logistics. Torsten's investment was paid off in ways he did not expect, as he received the "Best Thesis Award" for his outstanding work that also saw him win the "Best Student Project Award" of 2014 by the Danish Rail Sector Association. Torsten's experience in Asia left him with an enriched perspective on cross-cultural skills.
Professor Kai-Olaf Hinrichsen, Programme Director of the Chemical Engineering programme at TUM Asia, specially flew to Singapore to celebrate this momentous occasion with his graduating students. "We are very proud of the graduates and are excited to see them go on and make a mark in this world".

Who's got a Wii?

Re: Who's got a Wii?
I just got a Wii, Mrs. Hoser said I could after working 4 months straight crazy overtime. I'm in love with the New Mario Bros. Wii, Beatles Rock Band is fun (I just got both for my birthday) Boom Blox and Boom Blox Bash Party are hilarious fun, and the Lego series are great (although I've heard some rumblings about the latest Indy Jones).
Wii Sports Resort is supposed to be pretty good as well.
How is that Cars game, btw? I've been considering it for my son, since we're going to visit his cousin over the holidays and that cousin is a huge Cars fan.
You can access the wifi directly in the menu, I fiddled with it to see if I could find any local access ports.

The "types of guns most often recovered from crime scenes and/or used in murders"? Amazingly, they are exactly the same types of guns most often used in defense of one's person, property, family or nation. Here is the Rolling Stone List of Death:
- Pistols
- Revolvers (also handguns)
- Rifles
- Shotguns and…
- Derringers
In other words, all guns. Plus Derringers, just for good measure. And did they mention Derringers? No, I am not making this particular piece of "service journalism" up. It really is that stupid. Be sure to read the comments. My favorite so far:
The Five Most Dangerous Dogs:
- Big dogs
- Little dogs
- Medium Sized Dogs
- Male Dogs
- Female Dogs

Editor's note: There are good reasons to believe that the U.S. will play a dominant role in the 21st century. according to commentator Satyajit Das. This is the second of four articles examining the resilience of America's economic power.
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — American economic resilience is based on its superior financial armaments.
The U.S. central bank's ability to use quantitative easing (QE) to monetize its debt gives it flexibility to deal with its problems. Japan, UK and Switzerland and Japan, although not the Euro-Zone, have similar options. But the U.S. dollar's share of world trade and investment is extraordinary and disproportionate to its economic role, giving American policy makers greater options.
GM, CEO-elect Mary Barra ascendant in Detroit
General Motors has stolen the spotlight at the Detroit Motor Show, with a sweep of the North American car and truck of the year awards and the unveiling of the 2015 GMC Canyon. WSJ's Jeff Bennett says the show has been an auspicious beginning for GM CEO-Elect Mary Barra.
The dollar DXY, -0.03% remains the principal currency for invoicing and settling trade. Around 85% of all foreign exchange transactions involve the dollar; 50% of the stock of international securities is denominated in dollars. Central banks hold 50%-60% of their foreign exchange reserves in dollars. This is despite the fact that America's share of global exports is only 13% and foreign direct investment is 20%. Before the 2008 global financial crisis, at one stage, around 85% of global capital flows was coming into the U.S., including a significant portion (around $400 billion per year) into Treasury bonds.
Central to the U.S. economic strategy has been zero interest rates and (so far) three rounds of QE. While its efficacy in boosting real economic activity is debatable, QE has helped finance the U.S. budget deficit. The Federal Reserve currently purchases around 60%-70% of all U.S. government bonds. It does this by directly buying bonds, or indirectly by injecting reserves into the banking system which is then invested in Treasurys.
Low interest rates and QE have also reduced the value of the dollar. Despite bouts of dollar buying on its safe-haven status, the greenback has significantly weakened. On a trade-weighted basis, the dollar has lost around 20% against major currencies since 2009. The dollar has lost around 30% against the Swiss franc, 25% against the Canadian dollar , 35% against the Australian dollar and 20% against the Singapore dollar over that time.
The weaker U.S. dollar enhances America's competitive position. The devaluation is a de facto cut in costs, helping to drive export and economic growth.
The weaker dollar also improves America's external position, as U.S. foreign investments and overseas income gain in value.
The major benefit relates to debt owned by foreigners. Foreign investors, China, Japan and "others," principally oil exporting nations, Asian central banks or sovereign wealth funds, hold about 35% to 40% of America's $16 trillion in government debt.
As almost all of this debt is denominated in dollars, devaluation reduces the value of its outstanding debt, making it easier for the U.S. to service its obligations.
A weakening dollar should logically discourage further foreign investment in U.S. debt. But the position of the dollar as the dominant reserve currency has an opposite effect, ensuring the ability of America to find investors in Treasury securities.
The relative credit quality of the U.S. and the unparalleled size and liquidity of its government bond market ensures investor support. Given its reserve currency and safe haven status, dollars and U.S. government bonds remain a cornerstone of investment portfolios of foreign lenders, especially central banks with large foreign exchange reserves.
Investors must keep buying dollars and reinvesting in dollar-denominated U.S. government bonds to avoid realizing currency losses on their existing investments. Foreign central banks must also purchase dollars to avoid even more rapid appreciation of their own currencies. In effect, devaluation forces existing investors to double-down to lower their average cost of U.S. dollars and U.S. government debt.
America's financial strategy entails lowering the value of its currency and decreasing the wealth of foreign investors to improve its competitive position.
Foreign investors, including China and Japan, which have around $2 trillion invested in U.S. government bonds, face a significant loss of their national savings. Between 2008 and 2012, the depreciation in the U.S. dollar resulted in a loss of more than $600 billion for foreign creditors.
Declaration of independence
America risks financial retaliation. Other countries may undertake their own QE programs or take steps to offset American actions. At the moment, the U.S. is gambling that its economic recovery is sufficiently self-sustaining to withstand these pressures. In any case, interest rates remain low and fiscal policy is loose. Policy makers also have the option of slowing the reduction in QE programs.
More fundamentally, the U.S. has the economic size and scale to retreat into near autarky, that is, a closed economy with limited international trade or capital flows. It can survive and retool its economy behind explicit or implicit trade barriers.

Big candy plant and warehouse operation opts to stay in Grand Prairie
A big warehouse deal that was in play has ended with the company staying put.
Ferrara Candy Co. has decided to keep its more than 1 million square foot manufacturing and distribution operation in Grand Prairie.
The company is located in Duke Realty's Grand Lakes II industrial complex on Gifford Street near Interstate 30.
Ferrara had looked at moving its facilities to a new location.
"Our tenant heavily tested what the market had to offer, but ultimately chose to remain in Grand Lakes II because of its location, size and existing relationship, along with our ability to make important tenant improvements in a timely manner," Duke's Jeff Thornton said in a statement.
Ferrara looked at moving to one of the many new warehouse complexes under construction in North Texas before deciding to renew its huge lease.
"The Dallas-Fort Worth market is extremely competitive right now with several large, speculative buildings coming online in addition to build-to-suit opportunities," Thornton said.
Matt Mulvihill and Nathan Lawrence with CBRE negotiated the lease with Duke Realty's Randy Wood.

Trends & Talkers: Obama worst president since WWII?UPDATED 7:27 PM HST Jul 02, 2014
KITV 4 viewers discuss a new poll out by Quinnipiac that has President Obama topping the list of worst presidents since World War II.Video Transcript
So as Hawaii tries to bring the next Presidential library here, there's a new poll out by Quinnipiac that has President Obama topping the list of worst presidents since World War II. The last time it asked the same question in 2006, George W. Bush topped the list. As expected... We've gotten a LOT of passionate responses today.. Alex Alika Sundberg "This is Obama's second term. How are you still blaming Bush? Where is all the so called "change" that was promised? What exactly has accomplished?" Kevin Luttrell Once upon a time Jimmy Carter topped that list, according to polls taken in 1979. Turns out, in hindsight he wasn't as bad as people thought. I suspect the same thing here. Peter Soares Jr. Give me a break. Without a doubt George Bush was the worst! He put us all in this mess in the first place. Or am I just imagining it. Learn some history! Adrian Valentin I just want to say however you lean, left or right, show some respect for the office and how you are viewed in the way you express your opinions. No president will please everyone. Let us know what you think.. You can follow me on twitter @kchoinews

The Blending, and Clashing, of Cultures Hispanic Influences in North America Predate the Anglo Influx and Are Reasserting Themselves through Art
Fuentes, Carlos, The Christian Science Monitor
THE U.S.-Mexico border, some of those who cross it say, is not really a border but a scar. Will it heal? Will it bleed once more? When a Hispanic worker crosses this border, he sometimes asks, "Hasn't this always been our land? Am I not coming back to it? Is it not in some way ours?" He can taste it, hear its language, sing its songs, and pray to its saints. Will this not always be in its bones a Hispanic land?
But first we must remember that ours was once an empty continent. All of us came here from somewhere else, beginning with the nomadic tribes from Asia who became the first Americans. The Spaniards came later, looking for the Seven Cities of Gold, but when they found none in what is today the southwestern United States, they left their language and their religion, and sometimes their blood. The Spanish Empire extended as far north as Oregon and filled the coastal region with the sonorous names of its cities: Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, San Bernardino, Monterey, Santa Cruz. When it achieved independence, the Mexican republic inherited these vast, underpopulated territories, but it lost them in 1848 to the expanding North American republic and its ideology of manifest destiny: the USA, from sea to shining sea.
So the Hispanic world did not come to the United States, the United States came to the Hispanic world. It is perhaps an act of poetic justice that now the Hispanic world should return, both to the United States and to part of its ancestral heritage in the Western Hemisphere. The immigrants keep coming, not only to the Southwest but up the eastern seaboard to New York and Boston and west to Chicago and the Midwest, where they meet the long-established Chicanos, the North Americans of Mexican origin, who have been here even longer than the gringos. They all join to make up the 25 million Hispanics in the United States - the vast majority of Mexican origin, but many from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Central and South America.
It is the fastest-growing minority in the USA. Los Angeles is now the second largest Spanish-speaking city in the world, after Mexico City, before Madrid and Barcelona. You can prosper in southern Florida even if you speak only Spanish, as the population is predominantly Cuban. San Antonio, integrated by Mexicans, has been a bilingual city for 150 years. By the middle of the coming century, almost half the population of the United States will be Spanish-speaking.
The third Hispanic development, that of the United States, is not only an economic and political event: it is above all a cultural event. A whole civilization with a Hispanic pulse has been created in the USA. A literature has been born in this country, one that stresses autobiography - the personal narrative, memories of childhood, the family album - as a way of answering the question, What does it mean to be a Chicano, a Mexican American, a Puerto Rican living in Manhattan, a second-generation Cuban American living in exile in Miami?
For example, consider the varied work of Rudolfo Anaya (Bless Me, Ultima), Ron Arias (The Road to Tamazunchale), Ernesto Galarza (Barrio Boy), Alejandro Morales (The Brick People), Arturo Islas (The Rain God), Tomas Rivera (Y no se lo trago la tierra), and Rolando Hinojosa (The Valley); or of the women writers Sandra Cisneros (Woman Hollering Creek), Dolores Prida (Beautiful Senoritas & Other Plays), and Judith Ortiz Cofer (The Line of the Sun); or of the poets Alurista and Alberto Rios. Or consider the definitive statements of Rosario Ferre or Luis Rafael Sanchez, who simply decided to write in Spanish from the island of Puerto Rico. …

Ofcom plans UK 4G spectrum auction
As one from the land of Blighty, I'm happy to say 4G coverage is pretty poor -- but will Ofcom's new spectrum auction push forward network improvements?
As one from the land of Blighty, I'm happy to say 4G coverage is pretty poor -- but will Ofcom's new spectrum auction push forward network improvements?
Ofcom is looking at how to clear the current users off the 700MHz spectrum band in time for the next generation of mobile data.
Competitors to the UK mobile operator EE will be able to start rolling out 4G services by mid-year, with Ofcom to kick off the spectrum auction bidding process this week.
The UK uses more mobile data than any other country and also has one of the highest percentages of smartphone owners globally, Ofcom has said.
Ofcom has launched a consultation on the use of white-space that could see the reuse of TV spectrum to provide connectivity for a range of uses and devices before the end of next year.
Having consulted on the matter, the regulator is now making its first tentative steps in preparing for yet another digital switchover. This time, however, moving digital TV views over to new spectrum should be a much easier task.
Ofcom has finalised the rules of the upcoming spectrum auction process that will allow O2, Vodafone, Three and other operators to introduce their own mobile 4G services.
Orange and T-Mobile parent EE, Three, Vodafone and O2 parent Telefonica are pooling forces to make sure digital TV services are cleared in the 800MHz band so that 4G LTE in the spectrum can go ahead as planned.
The launch of the iPhone 5 will be a competitive advantage for EE when it launches the UK's first 4G network in the coming months. Ofcom will feel the pressure to appease EE's competitors or face further litigation over how spectrum is doled out.
4G mobile will offer super-fast download speeds when it arrives in the UK. Find out what 4G technologies are being deployed in the UK, by who and when, and why the UK has lagged behind the rest of the world on 4G adoption
British customers will get 4G LTE services for the first time, as Everything Everywhere turns on its next-generation mobile network and promises 98 percent coverage within two years.
UK telecoms regulator Ofcom has decided that Everything Everywhere can start offering 4G services before the end of the year, ahead of the 4G spectrum auction next year. While the move may anger rivals, it will benefit consumers, at least in the short term.
The regulator has updated Everything Everywhere's licences to allow the operator to reuse its 2G spectrum for 4G fast mobile broadband - as much as a year before rivals get to play the 4G game
The mobile broadband auction will not raise anything like the £22.5bn raised by selling off 3G spectrum, but it should ensure indoor and outdoor coverage for even far-flung rural parts of the UK
The telecoms regulator has recorded the first-ever drop in mobile voice-call volumes, which it says is down to soaring use of SMS and social networking - especially among the younger crowd
BT is likely to enjoy lighter controls on the amount it can charge for its leased lines in London, under proposals revealed by Ofcom on Monday.Leased lines offer high-end fibre connectivity as a retail product for business customers, and also as a wholesale product for smaller telcos that resell fixed and mobile broadband services.
The parent company of UK mobile operator Three, Hutchison Whampoa, has denied claims that the business will pull out of the UK market if it is not allocated 4G spectrum in the upcoming auction when it takes place later in 2012.Ofcom has presented new proposals that could clear the way for the UK's much-delayed 4G spectrum auction.
Everything Everywhere, the mobile operator combining the UK T-Mobile and Orange networks, has appointed Morgan Stanley to oversee the sale of part of its 1800MHz spectrum.The sale, a regulatory condition set when the networks merged in 2010, will potentially give its competitors a chance to roll out 4G LTE wireless data in advance of Ofcom auctioning off new spectrum at 800 and 2600 MHz for these services.
Calls from mobile phones to 0800 numbers could soon be free under new rules put forward by the regulator, which also wants businesses to be clearer about charges for calling TV voting lines and directory enquiries
The telecoms regulator has taken the first step in freeing up additional spectrum for future mobile broadband use, opening up a consultation on the process due to end in June

Star Marketing in the Supermarket — Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Offby Joseph Erdos in Shows, January 21st, 2014
On last night's episode of Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, the celebrities entered Fairway Market in Woodland Park, N.J., for a challenge that involved cooking and creating their own food product to market to shoppers. The goal of the challenge, as Rachael and Guy emphasized, was for each celebrity to turn out a product that best represented his or her own personality. Once the celebrities were ready to serve, they handed out samples and vied for votes from shoppers, using any sales tactic that would work: Judy cracked Jewish mother jokes. Jake broke out the dance moves. Tiffany turned up the '80s flair. And Penn talked up his food product like a pro salesman.
For the first time this season, an MVP was chosen from each team and a $2,500 donation awarded to each winner's charity. Penn was named the MVP of Team Rachael and Herschel was named MVP for Team Guy. But unfortunately, that still meant one celebrity had to be sent home.

In a recent City Journal retrospective of three American cartoonists, Stefan Kanfer recalled one whose name might not be familiar: Bill Mauldin. You may, however, remember his drawing of the Lincoln Memorial statue with its head in its hands, an act of mourning the day after John F. Kennedy was shot.
Mauldin was an Army G.I. during World War II. Having learned to draw from a correspondence course and later at the Academy of Fine Art in Chicago, he began contributing cartoons to the 45th Division newspaper. Soon his cartoons appeared in Stars and Stripes, the Army newspaper.
His drawings depicted, writes Kanfer, "two 'dogfaces,' unshaven battle-weary men known only as Willie and Joe." Willie's and Joe's remarks vividly illustrated the lives of the common soldier. In one, Willie remarks to a medic: "Just give me the aspirin. I already got a Purple Heart." In another, Joe, peeking out from his tent at a puppy shivering in the rain, says: "Let 'em in. I wanna see a critter I kin feel sorry fer."
Mauldin wrote about Willie and Joe saying: "Their nobility and dignity come from the way they live unselfishly and risk their lives to help each other. They wish ... they were someplace else, and they wish ... they would get relief. They wish ... the mud was dry, and they wish ... their coffee was hot. They want to go home. But they stay in their wet holes and fight, and then they climb out and crawl through minefields and fight some more."
Kanfer notes that historian Stephen Ambrose described the soldiers of the Battle of the Bulge in much the same way. "What was unacceptable to the G.I. in that foxhole," Ambrose explained, "was letting his buddies down. They knew the difference between right and wrong, and they didn't want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed."
That same motivation has always spurred our soldiers to action-including our troops in Operation Iraqi Freedom. They also endured hardships, bad weather conditions-and some, taken prisoner, endured torture-all because they knew that in fighting the war, they were overthrowing a regime in which "wrong prevailed."
I remember the famous photo a few years ago of a Princeton student at an anti-war rally carrying a poster that read, "Nothing is worth dying for." How sad. But Col. David Perkins at a ceremony in Baghdad, remembering those who died in Iraq got it right. "There are things worth dying for," he said. "Freedom is one of those things."

SANTA FE — New Mexico voters are smarter than many people think. There has been talk recently that no House member is going to vote for a tax increase in the coming 2010 Legislature because all 70 must stand for reelection next year.
Essentially they are saying voters won't stand for a tax increase no matter what the reason. And yet two polls in the past month indicate a majority of registered voters say they support higher taxes to get us through this period of economic crisis.
Neither poll asked about voting for a legislator who has helped raise taxes, but the implication is that if the tax seems reasonable, voters aren't going to kick out the incumbent.
Going into the recent special session, some legislative leaders lamented that most lawmakers still weren't accepting the reality of a state budget in need of major help. A few days later, it appears registered voters were willing to face that reality.
A balanced package of cuts in government spending coupled with sensible revenue enhancements may find favor with voters. People laugh at revenue enhancements being just a politically correct way of talking about taxes.

Hearsay: Fred Busha, R.I.P. He turned ordinary stuff into awesome yard art
My dear friends and Hearsayers, an obituary ran in this newspaper's March 26 edition which caught my eye. "Fred G. Busha. Hartwell, Ga." I met Mr. Busha (pronounced with a long "A" at the end) only once, but I will never forget him or forget what, on a hot August day in 2004, led me to the door of his room at a nursing home in Hartwell.
We begin with the Big Bullet. Eight years ago, a friend of mine told me about a curious front yard in Franklin Springs, Ga. He told me it was chock full of interesting things but he said he was pretty sure no one lived in the small house on the same property. So I went in search of the yard and found, to my delight, a stellar display of the creative spirit. While weeds, sticker bushes and wisteria had pretty well taken over the landscaping and the humble abode, uncanny creations of what I can only describe as awesome yard art still stood out against the overgrown landscape. The Big Bullet caught my eye first. It was a deactivated World War II missile shell that had been welded to a stand so that it was shooting skyward. A faded, plastic Santa Claus in his sleigh was attached to the Big Bullet.
Fascinated, I started poking around the place. There were birdhouses everywhere — one was made out of the flesh-toned leg of a storefront mannequin. There was a "Wheel of Fortune — Danger" welded to a stand so you could operate it like you would a steering wheel. And there was a hand shaped from tin the approximate size of a 20-inch-screen TV. The hand was welded to a thick spring, which was then welded to a pole so the gizmo waved to passersby when it was windy. And these were just a few of the creations in that fantastical place. But who done it? That was the big question. After several false starts, I wound up at Wray's Drug Store, where I was told that the home and yard was the pride and joy of one Mr. Fred Busha, who no longer lived there but in a nursing home in Hartwell.
"I have been making things since I was born" is what Mr. Busha told me when I found him in his room at the nursing home. "People always been coming by and giving me things. They say, 'Maybe you can make something out of this. And so I do.' Mr. Busha's tiny room was full of things he'd made out of nursing-home stuff — empty latex glove boxes, milk cartons, plastic straws and pill bottles. "In a place like this," he told me, "you'll go nutty as a pecan orchard without something to do. So I'm back here making things." That was eight years ago. Mr. Busha died March 24. I went by his place just the other day, just to remind myself of him and his wonderful creations. The "HI." sign had fallen over on its side, but it still made me smile. Rest in peace, Mr. B, and I sure hope the angels give you some cool stuff to make things with in Heaven.

Does Gisele Bundchen have another genetically superior bun baking in her oven? Her reps aren't commenting, but the rumor mill in her native Brazil is cranking with whispers that she may be expecting her second child with her coif-challenged, New England Patriots star hubby, Tom Brady.
Last week, the supermodel mogul was in Sao Paulo promoting her HOPE lingerie collection, and although she didn't give off a hint of any belly swelling while posing in a bra-showcasing lace shirt (below), insiders have supposedly been spilling the ostensible stork news, according to House of Models columnist Fabio Lage.
Brazilian paper Agora (via Brazil Dispatch) also claims "those responsible for dressing the model at recent events noticed changes in Gisele's body," which, granted, could mean she just had an extra serving of salad at lunch.
Bundchen, 31, is already mom to Benjamin, who made his debut in December 2009 via home delivery in a bathtub, and stepmom to Brady's 4-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The square-jawed twosome enjoyed a second honeymoon of sorts with a trip to Costa Rica in late February, not long after the Patriots lost the Super Bowl and Gisele was overheard griping of the quarterback's teammates, "My husband cannot [bleeping] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Bundchen has made no secret of her desire to expand her brood, and the family recently completed work on a $20 million, 22,000-square-foot estate in Brentwood, Calif.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) is currently showing two exhibitions through Aug. 31 — Beili Liu: Chine and Karin Broker: wired, pressed, nailed.
Southern Summer Night is an event that Southeast Texans have become accustomed to each year — enjoying delicious food, hearing fabulous music and just having a great time. The event, scheduled for Saturday, July 19, at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center in Port Arthur, is formerly known as Cayman Night and is in its third year with its new name and theme. Proceeds benefit the Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce and the Port Arthur International Seafarers' Center.
Kountze Trade Days has been a fixture of the "The Big Light in The Big Thicket" since 2010, offering a wide array of unique vendors and some of the best festival-style food Southeast Texas has to offer.
The vision for Independence Day celebrations can be traced back to a letter from John Adams to his wife, Abigail, in which Adams speaks of dreams of "pomp and parade, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other." Although Adams originally thought America's independence would be celebrated July 2, Congress delayed the signing of the Declaration of Independence by two days. What would transpire thereafter would change the world and shape a nation.
We've all heard of good clean fun, but what about good dirty fun? Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum on the Lamar University campus will transform into a 23-obstacle mud run on June 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as part of the museum's second annual Great Outdoors Day.
Your favorite songs, dance numbers, and scenes from popular, classic animated films will come to life on stage June 12-14 as Orange Community Players (OCP) presents its 10th annual Fun for Funds: An Animated Musical Review. Audience members can expect to see nearly 30 songs performed from Shrek, The Prince of Egypt, The Lion King, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast and more.
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Ivan Vargas of Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, a real-life superhero. He'll soon soar into Beaumont and wants Southeast Texans to come out to the show to learn how they too can become superheroes and to watch the fearless feats of circus performers who astound and amaze Children of All Ages in the newest Greatest Show on Earth, Super Circus Heroes.
Direct from Jinan, China, one of the world's most awarded acrobatic troupes — The China Circus featuring FenMo Acrobatic Troupe — will be perform two shows at the Jefferson Theatre in downtown Beaumont on Saturday, June 14, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
What does it feel like to experience a mine cave-in? Trapped in total darkness, with a dwindling supply of oxygen, food and water and perhaps a diminishing stock of trust, patience, and sanity as well, five struggle to survive in a 1973 West Virginia coal mine in Butcher Holler Here We Come.
The production is available to Southeast Texas audiences thanks to a unique collaboration between Brooklyn-based theater group Aztec Economy, local independent theater group Ad Hoc Beaumont and Beaumont Community Players.
Summer is here and kids are out of school, leaving many parents faced with the often daunting task of providing summer entertainment. Southeast Texas families need not worry; Elise's Family Fun Center in Winnie is here to relieve summer boredom.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

New Towne Mall General Manager Jody Hopkins said Tuesday he has not heard anything from Sears officials. "We've had a few customers ask us about it today," he said. Hopkins has read media accounts and hasbeen checking Sears website for when a list of closings becomes available.
Area residents and officials at New Towne Mall in New Philadelphia are among those awaiting word about the future of the local Sears store after parent company Sears Holdings Corp. announced plans Tuesday to close between 100 and 120 Sears and Kmart stores to raise cash after a weak holiday shopping season for the retailer.
Sears also has a Hometown Store in Coshocton.
New Towne Mall General Manager Jody Hopkins said Tuesday he has not heard anything from Sears officials.
"We've had a few customers ask us about it today," he said.
Hopkins has read media accounts and hasbeen checking Sears website for when a list of closings becomes available.
He said the Sears in New Towne Mall has a history of positive sales performance.
"One competitive advantage Sears has in this area is that they offer a broader range of electronics, appliances and hardware," Hopkins said.
"They also have quite a large geographic area to draw from. The Sears here is the only one between Coshocton and Canton. It's not like some places, where there's a Sears and a Kmart within a relatively short distance apart."
The closings fueled speculation about whether the 125-year-old retailer can turn itself around.
The closings are the latest and most visible in a long series of moves to try to fix a company that has struggled with falling sales and shabby stores as rivals like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp. spruced up their looks and turned into one-stop shopping sources.
Billionaire investor Edward Lampert purchased Kmart out of bankruptcy in 2003 and bought Sears, Roebuck & Co. a year later. Since 2004 Sears Holdings – which operates both Kmart and Sears stores – has watched its cash and short-term investments go from about $2.09 billion for the year ended Jan. 31, 2004 to $1.34 billion for the year ended Jan. 31, 2011, according to FactSet. The figure now stands at about $700 million.
Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter says the softer-than-expected holiday sales performance point to "deepening problems at this struggling chain and renewed worries about Sears survivability."
Balter added that Sears' weakening performance may lead its vendors to start to worry about their exposure. If vendors stop shipping to a retailer or start insisting on cash up front, it can spell the end.
That company disputes talk that it is in trouble financially or will have problems surviving. Spokesman Chris Brathwaite says Sears Holdings has more than $3.5 billion of liquidity, consisting of $700 million in cash and $2.9 billion available under its credit lines.
Still, Sears Holdings said its declining sales, ongoing pressure on profit margins and rising expenses pulled its adjusted earnings lower. The company predicts fourth-quarter adjusted earnings will be less than half the $933 million it reported for the same quarter last year.
Page 2 of 3 - Some industry experts say part of the problem Sears is facing is that economic difficulties continue to grip its core customers. These middle-income shoppers have seen their wages fail to keep up with higher costs for household basics like food.
But the bigger issue, analysts say, is that Sears hasn't invested in remodeling, leaving its stores uninviting.
Sears Holdings announced Tuesday that revenue at stores open at least a year fell 5.2 percent for the quarter-to-date at both Sears and Kmart. That includes the critical holiday shopping period. Its Kmart stores reported a 4.4 percent decline, with layaway faltering as rivals like Wal-Mart and Toys R Us found success with their own layaway programs, which allow financially stressed shoppers to finance their holiday purchases by paying a little at a time.
Both Kmart and Sears stores reported weak consumer electronics sales. Sears, whose same-store revenue dropped 6 percent, also reported softer sales of home appliances. The same-store revenue metric is a key gauge of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Sears Holdings appeared to stumble early in the holiday season, as it opened its Sears, Roebuck and Co. stores at 4 a.m. on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Rivals including Best Buy Co., Wal-Mart and Toys R Us opened as early as Thanksgiving night. Sears stores had opened on Thanksgiving Day in 2010. Kmart has been opening on Thanksgiving for years.
A hint that trouble might be brewing came in mid-December when Sears Holdings unexpectedly announced that 260 of its Sears, Roebuck and Co. locations would stay open until midnight through Dec. 23.
In an internal memo Tuesday to employees, CEO and President Lou D'Ambrosio said that the retailer had not "generated the results we were seeking during the holiday."
Sears has yet to determine which stores will close but said it will post on http://www.searsmedia.com when a final list is compiled. The company would not discuss how many, if any, jobs would be cut.
The company said that the store closings will generate $140 to $170 million in cash from inventory sales. It expects the sale or sublease of real estate holdings to add more cash.
The Hoffman Estates, Ill., company has more than 4,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Its stock dropped $10.66, or 23.3 percent, to $35.19 in midday trading. The shares dipped to their lowest point in more than three years at $35.13 earlier in the session.
Aside from the planned store closings, Sears is altering the way it handles stores that are not performing as well as others. The company says it will no longer prop up marginally performing stores in hopes of improving their performance and will now concentrate on cash-generating stores.
Page 3 of 3 - There is a Kmart store at 61690 Southgate Parkway in Cambridge. A Kmart in New Philadelphia closed in 2002.
Stark County has three Kmart locations and three Sears stores. The Kmarts are at 3801 Harmont Ave. NE in Canton, 2600 Lincoln Way E. in Perry Township and 1447 N. Main Street in North Canton. The Sears stores are at 2500 W. State St., Alliance; 843 30th St. NW, Canton, and 4100 Belden Village Mall, Jackson Township.

Obama budget plan pulls plug on energy - 0 Comments
With the release of its proposed budget for the next fiscal year, the Obama administration continues its assault on the U.S. economy in general and the domestic oil and gas industry in particular. While calling for an end to oil and gas "subsidies," the White House in reality would raise taxes on oil and gas by $36.5 billion over 10 years.
But current tax preferences for oil and gas producers are hardly subsidies. They are instead methods that allow private companies to keep more of the money they earn while providing low-cost energy to the American consumer.

By FLORENCE FABRICANT
Published: May 23, 2004
CORSICA, the stunning French island outpost in the Mediterranean, has become a favorite getaway for Parisians fed up with the crowds on the Riviera but is less known to Americans. Which is too bad, because in addition to its beauty, the island is home to some good eating, if you seek it out. Corsica has three quite different cuisines: lusty country cooking, generic French food with stylish ambitions, and very fresh seafood, simply prepared. Frequent Italian influences testify to centuries of occupation by the Pisans and Genoese. Home-made pork products, local cheeses and chestnuts are used in abundance. Seafood is often grilled over wood and scented with saffron or maquis, the native mix of mountain herbs.
For a week's visit covering most of the island last September, I came armed with a hefty list of dining recommendations. And my companions, my husband, Richard, and another couple, were happy to leave the arrangements up to me.
But often, Corsica itself interfered. As small as the island might be in its dimensions as the crow flies, about 110 miles long and 50 miles wide, it's very different when you're on the road, navigating hairpin turns at 25 miles an hour on coastal corniches and through spectacular mountains. Sometimes, by lunchtime, we simply had not reached our destination.
We were also unable to penetrate the principal cities of Ajaccio and Bastia, beaten back by streets choked with traffic and tiny, solidly packed public parking lots, even though the height of the season had passed. So on some days we picked up local cheeses and ripe peaches in village markets or enjoyed impromptu plates of Corsica's wonderful hams, salamis, coppa (meaty cured pork shoulder) and lonzu (loin) and wine at little beachside bars after a swim in the gentle turquoise sea.
Le Pirate
The most often recommended restaurant we visited, and one for which I did rearrange our itinerary a bit, was Le Pirate, in the village of Erbalunga on the east coast, about five miles north of Bastia. As it is closed on Mondays, I added a second night at Castel'Brando, a mansion turned hotel in the same seaside village. The restaurant is an elegant, intimate spot divided into several areas with luxurious period furnishings, elaborately set tables, and a small terrace hanging over the town's tiny protected port.
From a limited but ambitious menu, we chose the seared rouget on a warm potato tart and a bisquelike pumpkin soup, against which another starter, pallid langouste (spiny lobster) ravioli, could not compete. (We were tempted by the langouste because everywhere else they were out of season, leading us to wonder, despite assurances, whether the ravioli here were freshly made. The flavor seemed to confirm our doubts.) A memorably tender rack of local baby lamb hinted of mountain herbs and outshone the dry jambonette, or stuffed leg of duck. I balked at the line-caught bass with ostera caviar (not available without the caviar) bearing a $74 price tag (at a rate of $1.23 to the euro), or $117 if you really wanted the fish slathered with precious roe. But since the only other fish was rouget again, I ordered the bass, wisely, it turned out, for the pristine fillet came in a deliciously balanced yet light, stylishly frothy sauce. Compared with the lovely cheeses we had been eating almost daily, the selection here was disappointingly strong, salty and often dry. Highlights among the desserts, with which we sipped the native sweet chilled muscat, were tender poached pears in a spiced nut cream and a warm apple and fig tart.
We didn't want coffee or tea and were presented with the check. But where were the little plates of petits fours and chocolates we saw at other tables? They're served only with coffee, we were told. Even though we spent more than $500 for four, we were punished for not ordering coffee. At first we found the service at Le Pirate formal, but with the unyielding rules about the fish, it became rigid, ending the dinner devoid of little treats on a less-than-hospitable note.
La Mer
Midway up the western coast of the island, the town of Porto is a tourist hub a short distance from picture-postcard beaches, the stunning red rock formations of Les Calanches and the pretty village of Piana. It is also the gateway to the dramatic interior mountains.
At La Mer, a busy restaurant with nearly 100 seats, mostly on terraces perched on a hillside overlooking the port and the restored Genoese tower, we sat outdoors under a canopy of trellised plane trees threaded with twinkling lights. We enjoyed exactly the kind of meal we hoped to find time and again but turned out to be something of a rarity in Corsica: casual, fresh, warmly inviting and more than satisfactory.
The chef had a sure hand with crisp, fresh brocciu (sheep milk cheese) croquettes, strong-tasting Corsican-style fish soup smoothed with aioli, braised monkfish in a seafood reduction, moist swordfish wrapped in pancetta and spiked with a forceful anchovy sauce, and fresh sardines perfumed with wood fire smoke. The desserts, including a mango tarte Tatin, the inevitable molten chocolate cake and a crusty almond financier with a poached peach and peach-yogurt ice cream, made us happy. The waiters were friendly and relaxed.

SEAL BEACH Shouts, laughter and all-around smiles splashed across the faces of Leisure World residents early Saturday in the 50th anniversary of the retirement community.
"It's a wonderful day for this event," celebration committee chair Thomas Barratt said.
A weekend's worth of festivities, including a parade, country fair and fundraiser dinners were held to celebrate the milestone of the nation's first planned retirement community of its kind.
Fifty-one entries participated in the parade in categories such as Decorated Vehicle, Senior Walking Group, Golf Cart and Pre-1940 Vehicle, and were judged by members of the Golden Rain Foundation, the community's management company.
Parade participants included Michelle Steel, vice chair of the state Board of Equalization, and Seal Beach Mayor Michael Levitt, along with various organizations within the community.
A two-year resident of Leisure World, Lynn Heath walked in the parade as part of the Theater Club entry. "We wanted to show that Leisure World's got talent. It was fun and I loved the parade," she said.
Another member of the Theater Club is 12-year resident Audrey McKenzie, who is no stranger to performing in front of a crowd. Originally from England, McKenzie is also involved in the Brittanica Club and the "Let the Good Times Roll" Club, which often puts on performances for the community.
"I began singing in England, and when I was 18, I won a singing contest and was recognized by a famous British comedian who presented me with sexy lingerie!" McKenzie said. She then went on to work as an administrative assistant in the sleepless, never-ending pool of theatrics, singing and dancing: Las Vegas.
Carolyn Boodman, a four-year resident, was a volunteer for this event. "I've never been to one of these (parades)" said Boodman, who is involved in the Garden Club, Bible Group and Women's Fellowship. "People are so friendly here and everyone looks out for each other."
More than 200 volunteers were recruited to help plan, raise money for and run this weekend's activities, which took eight months to plan.
"It's a great event to bring everyone together to honor the past and look toward the future," said Dan Schaeffer, Golden Rain's executive director.
Leisure World opened its doors to residents in 1962, and was different because it provided full amenities to senior citizens including activities, insurance plans and healthcare. Now, the community houses over 9,000 residents which make up over one-third of Seal Beach's population.
When asked about her favorite part about living in the community, four-year resident Mary Ferrell said: "The surroundings and people who work and live here." Ferrell works to remain active with trips to the gym, pool, taking exercise classes and riding her bicycle within the community. "There's a feeling of safety here, people seem to care and everybody has smiles."

"This? It's, it's a snuff film."
Quentin gazed at the piece of celluloid, realizing that it said more with a single still frame than he himself could with 45 minutes of dialog that were unrelated to the movie plot…it was that moment that he realized his adoring fans were morons. And Quentin smiled.
Beautiful. *sniff.
thanks, it's what I do.
What are the odds that is film of feet? I bet $100 that it is.
"Size 6? Ya, this looks about a size 6 to me. Size 6 feet really get me going. Where did you get this? No, wait, better you don't tell me. I'm going to imagine they are Daryls feet. You know despite her height, she actually has some small feet. Has to wear special shoes to keep her balance when doing all her high kicks. You know I directed her in Kill Bill. I had her doing a lot of high kicks.. kick those size 6 feet high baby.. Oh ya.."
"The new Mexican 100 Peso bill is much harder to counterfeit, but is also confused with holographic baseball cards."
"Ah, my very first peeping-tom photo, taken with a baby brownie deluxe, back in the day. Gets me every time? The girl? Oh who knows. Last thing I heard she was buried under someone's deck. -I mean, not that I'd know anything about that, right?…"
No, see, if you look closely at a still you can tell it's not his real cock.
"So Sam Jackson stabs at that sushi with his chopsticks and says 'Mutchafucka I got the last GOT-Damned spicy tuna roll!!' Any how do I respond? Little did he know…I've still got the last packet of soy sauce"

I am trying to find AS3 code for a MovieClip on my stage. My stage resizes proportionally on different screens (different size monitors), but the MC gets too big for smaller screen laptops and some parts of it get cut off. Would appreciate for any help
You could restrict any scaling, and handle the sizing yourself:
Have a look at the docs for the scale mode and align properties available.
Put this before anything else. This code find's the scale size from your original layout to the re-sized. (NOTE: It's best if you use this when Event.RESIZE is happening)
Than, use appScale to scale every MovieClip/Sprite you have, e.g. _mc.scaleX = _mc.scaleY = appScale. Using this way, every time the stage get re-sized, the right and down border are moved. That means if you want your footer to be always 50px from bottom, you should use something like :

Dr Patrick Tan from A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) has received the 2013 Chen New Investigator Award from the international Human Genome Organisation (HUGO). This award is given to scientists who have made significant contributions to their respective fields of human genetic and genomic research during their early career years, normally within 15 years from receiving their highest earned degree.
In awarding the prize, the Award Review Committee which comprises an international make-up of acclaimed scientists from countries including Canada, India, Japan, Switzerland and the USA commended Dr Tan for his outstanding education background and excellent publication record. They recognized his significant contributions through his research on genomic profiles of Asian cancers. The committee also praised him on his longstanding body of work in cancer genomics, with a particular focus on gastric cancer, and commented that his momentum appeared to be on an impressive upward trajectory.
The award will be presented at the annual meeting of HUGO, which runs from 13th through 18th April 2013 at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore. In addition to the New Investigator Award, the Chen Award for Distinguished Academic Achievement in Human Genetic and Genomic Research will also be presented at the meeting.
A graduate of Harvard University and Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr Tan's research laboratory focuses on developing genomic approaches to unlock the molecular and clinical diversity of gastric cancer. Much of his work is concerned with developing methods to differentiate and group gastric cancer patients based on their molecular profiles, and identifying the genes required for cancer to develop in each of these groups so that therapeutic treatments can be tailor-made for each specific group.
Dr Tan is also currently leading POLARIS (Personalized OMIC Lattice for Advanced Research and Improving Stratification), a consort
