Webinar Training on February 26: Tax Lien Investing Is Dead
Rumor has it that tax lien investing is deed and that the small investor just can't compete in today's market. The truth is that tax lien investing is not as profitable as it once was the way some experts are teaching you how to do it. The strategies that investors are lead into by well meaning "experts" who were able to make a nice profit using these same strategies in previous years, aren't as profitable as they once were. Interest rates are bid down to minuscule percentages at tax sales and premiums at some tax sales are bid too high for investors to make a decent profit. The tax sales are so competitive in some areas that there is nothing but junk on the left-over list of liens or deeds. The days of buying properties for pennies on the dollar are over.
But It Doesn't Have To Be That Way!
In this webinar Joanne Musa, The Tax Lien Lady, will show you the investment strategies that she is using, and that is taught to her clients: Strategies for making money with tax liens and tax deeds without doing a lot of work and without bidding at the tax sale. And these are strategies that provide profit faster than the methods that everyone else is talking about. Joanne says: "I call them my Stealth Strategies for making huge profits with tax liens and tax deeds, and until now I have only revealed them to my coaching clients and students. But now I'm sharing them with you as well."
Here is what Joanne is saying about her webinar: "If you are currently investing in tax liens or deeds…you are about to get re-educated, re-inspired, and re-assured that you are on the right track! I'm going to show you how you can continue to get huge returns on your liens or deeds as the market get tougher by changing a couple of little things you do. Now you could be in one of those areas that haven't been hit yet by the increased bidding competition due to the flux of banks and institutional buyers in the market. But it's only a matter of time until they invade your neck of the woods, and when they do, you'll be ready with strategies that will allow you to profit anyway."
"If you've been thinking about investing in tax liens or tax deeds…Maybe you've been thinking of investing in tax liens or tax deeds for a while now, but you're just not sure if it's for you. You might have even been to a tax sale and have had your hopes of profit crushed by the competition, and now you're not sure if you can compete against these large companies and banks….well you don't have to! I'll show you an easier way to invest in tax liens and a better way to get redeemable deeds. My Stealth Strategies For Investing In Tax Liens and Tax Deeds are incredibly profitable!"

The numbers are really low. Too cheap to be true ?
I'd load up now but for fear this is another Chinese reverse merger fraud.
It is a total fraud. You'd be stupid to buy any.
Ninety per cent of these Chinese POS are total fraud.
Which means 10% are not frauds
New comers to OINK seem to forget that this is pig farming in China. It's like selling wine in France, Beer in Germany, and so on.
There is a company, they do sell an actual product. Although the product is not high tech, not cutting edge things that can faulter based on consumer whimsy, but pork, the meat of CHINA. The population and wealth growth alone makes this market unsatiable!
Unfortaunately for traders, the folks running OINK are still in pig farm management mentality. While traders shoot back and forth about how to raise this stock's price by doing buy back, dividends, insider trading, the managment at OINK has their own solution that is rather novel in the world of Wall Street - Sell more Pigs at higher prices.
Although it seems insane, this strategy just might work. However it may take a few years to get there. Rome wasn't built in a day but I bet it was short-sold everyday.
Well said.
first check out if new CFO is son of OINK CEO Li?
I tried to find their Chinese language web page. Doesn't seem to be one. I entered their Chinese name on Baidu, nothing turns up except their IPO news by a company called Fulcan?.
There is a Tianli in Canton province,not the same company. There is a Tianli in Wuhan,its an electric equipment company.
Has there been any site visit ? There photos don't proof much. None of the front gate photos showed any human being in it. Not even a security guard at the gate. And the gates appear locked.
I am suspicious at this time.
There is risk of fraud in any company! However Chinese small caps have been the stars of fruad for the past year or so.
That said, OINK seems to be an exception. They are not a reverse merger. They went through the process of being listed the old fashioned way.
They've had two auditors who both agree that the company's books are OK. See previous posts for the history.
Also review Stampede Capital's write up on the company (again see previous posts). Very useful.
Good response.
Basically, to the original OP, is there really anything anyone could write on a yahoo board that would lead to any conclusions either way?
I can tell you I think the risk of fraud is really low - given the size and location of the country, about as low a risk as you can get. But you don't know me, or have any idea what I'd be basing that on. As mtjacobs said, it's a risk with any company. Even KO.
Take a look for yourself and make your own determination.

The promotional effects of ZrO2 on Ni/ZrO2–SiO2 catalysts were investigated by the comparison of Ni/SiO2 and Ni/ZrO2–SiO2 activity in the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride (MA) to γ-butyrolactone (GBL), and by the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). The presence of ZrO2 led to an obvious increase of GBL yield. The promotion effect could be attributed to the possible presence of Zr4+ species on the catalyst surface owing to the higher ionicity of the Zr–O bonds, and to the proper interaction of Ni with the ZrO2-SiO2 support that is regulated by the presence of ZrO2.

VA Long-Term Care:
The Availability of Noninstitutional Services Is Uneven

Noninstitutional long-term care services are delivered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans in their own homes and other community locations. The Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act requires VA to offer long-term care services to eligible veterans, including services provided in noninstitutional settings. More than two years after the act's passage, VA has yet to offer eligible veterans adult day health care, geriatric evaluation, or respite care. Although VA published proposed regulations that would make these services available in noninstitutional settings to eligible veterans, the regulations had not been finalized as of April 17, 2002. To be responsive before its draft regulations were made final, VA issued a policy directive requiring that these three services be available in noninstitutional settings. GAO found, however, that both the services required by the act and VA's other noninstitutional services were unevenly available across the VA system.

text: 270 FXUS63 KBIS 201930 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 230 PM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 227 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Upgraded much of the Heat Advisory to an Excessive Heat Warning across much of south central North Dakota and into the James River Valley. Surface dewpoints in the upper 70s to the lower 80s are observed across these areas given strong evapotranspiration. With temperatures quickly climbing into the 90s, heat index values to 110 degrees are likely to continue to the afternoon and early evening. While dewpoints will mix out a bit the rest of the day, all guidance is under-doing surface dewpoints this afternoon. UPDATE Issued at 1240 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Again, little change in the overall thinking compared to the 939 am CDT update. The mostly likely scenario is the 11 UTC HRRRX, which develops a few isolated, yet likely severe storms, by 23 UTC between US Highways 83 and 85 along a weak surface boundary currently across extreme western North Dakota into southeast Montana. All threats are possible. See the 1630 UTC SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook for details. UPDATE Issued at 939 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 No significant changes with this forecast update other than to blend to observed trends through 14 UTC. The consensus of the 12 UTC CAM suite is for potential isolated to scattered convective initiation between 22-00 UTC along a weak cold front/density gradient across eastern Montana this morning that will propagate to between US Highways 83 and 85 early this evening. Given the weak forcing and high instability, the spread of the CAM solutions is wide. However, the convective signal as a whole is greater compared to Tuesday. Any storms that develop are favored to become severe. UPDATE Issued at 647 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Minor changes with this update cycle included 1) adding patchy fog to east central ND from Linton to Jamestown and Rolla through 14 UTC based on recent observations, and 2) refining low-end PoPs in western ND this morning. Radar imagery through 1130 UTC reveals an area of high-based, elevated showers and a few rumbles of thunder moving through western ND, possibly aided by a weak impulse aloft and/or a renewed surge of steeper lapse rates within the elevated mixed layer. Indeed, RAP analysis data suggests 700-500 MB lapse rates have increased to 9 C/km in west central ND the last couple of hours. This is likely related to the intensely heated boundary layer in MT and WY yesterday afternoon being advected eastward. Regardless, this advection-related ascent is occurring above the stable boundary layer and there are no signs in either radar data or convection-allowing guidance that it will deepen sufficiently for any storms of significance this morning. Otherwise, uncertainty remains high with regard to the initiation of deep moist convection late this afternoon and this evening in the face of weak large-scale ascent and residual capping despite the very hot and moisture-laden boundary layer. There has been little in the way of consistency in HRRR and experimental/parallel HRRR simulations in the last few hours with regard to potential storm development due to those factors. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 320 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 The main focus for the short term is hot temperatures and thunderstorms. Compressional warming with a nearby front and a large dome of very hot air aloft will mix down and lead to another sultry day. Widespread temperatures around 100 will be common across the southern half of North Dakota. Heat indices around 105 are expected across portions of central North Dakota and the James Valley. A very moist and unstable airmass is in place. A weak front will slide across North Dakota today and interact with this unstable airmass. This could provide enough lift to overcome any capping in place. If this does occur rapid thunderstorm development and intensification is possible. Short-term models are all over the place with respect to time and location of any storm development. At this time it appears the most likely opportunity for storms is late this afternoon across central and northern North Dakota. With ample instability and a decent shear profile with southerly winds at the surface and westerly aloft, rotating updrafts and supercells are possible. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 320 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 A cooler day is expected Thursday behind the front. Temperatures are still expected to climb into the 90s, but humidity should be noticeably less. Thunderstorms are possible once again Friday as another wave moves out of the mountain west. If thunderstorms develop they could become severe with very high instability, steep lapse rates and modest shear in place. Cold air advection will take hold this weekend. Temperatures will fall back into the 70s and 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 227 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and evening, especially across central North Dakota. A few storms could be severe with large hail and damaging winds. Storm coverage is expected to be low with impacts to the terminals uncertain at this time. && .BIS Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Because Medicago ruthenica [(L.) Ledebour] is a potential new forage legume, we collected 90 accessions in Inner Mongolia in 1991. The 40 accessions evaluated in this study (E2) trace to 13 collection sites ranging from 40° 40′ (N) × 111° 15′ (E) to 42° 55′ (N) × 122° 20′ (E) and to altitudes ranging from 175 to 1493 m. Nineteen of these accessions were collected from new or under-represented sites in generally milder and drier climates (temperate desert steppes), compared to the 50 accessions evaluated earlier (E1). All accessions were evaluated at Beltsville, MD (USA) on a B and K deficient Iuka sandy loam (coarse-loamy, siliceous, acid, thermic, Aquic Udigluvent; pH 6.4) in two-year studies. Significant variation was noted in E1 and E2 for dry matter yield, growth habit, leaf shape, and plant height and width. Upright growth habit and leaf narrowness, and procumbency and yield were positively correlated in both evaluations, but no particular leaf shape or growth habit was correlated with tolerance to winter conditions. In E2, leaf:stem ratios of four M. ruthenica accessions and a cultivated alfalfa (M. sativa L.) check were not significantly different, but M. ruthenica was significantly more tolerant of potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae Harris) feeding than was M. sativa. Second-year alfalfa dry matter yield was about five times larger than that of M. ruthenica. Many of the highest yielding accessions were collected near cultivated fields and/or buildings. Although data for both evaluations demonstrated the same basic trends, there were sufficient deviations to emphasize the value of evaluating the entire germplasm collection.

Regarding the fanservice and tired jokes issue:
Even those of us that get some enjoyment from watching shlocky fanservice romcoms are tired of some of those cliched 'gags'. I think the "Walks in while changing/falls on boobs > Gets punched" thing tops the list of things that get complained about by people that otherwise like these shows. And I personally have all sorts of irritations and issues with lead male characters, and obsession with boobs is among them.
It's just those of us that like these kinds of shows will put up with it if the show has enough other things going for it. "Guy getting punched for doing something" simply doesn't make up a significant portion of the comedy in the vast, vast majority of these shows. Some of the shows that fall on the fanservicier end of the spectrum will make fanservice an element of many of the jokes, but even then, that rarely makes up the majority of the show's gags. Most shows just contain a few recycled horsepaste gags among many other jokes that have nothing to do with fanservice or "tsundere girl punching guy" 'jokes'. Also, these shows are rarely pure comedies, so there's usually drama and/or a plot to watch the show for as well.
Just because something is in a show doesn't mean that people who like the show are watching it for that or even like that aspect. There also seems to be an assumption that someone who likes watching those simply CAN'T also like whatever it is the person decrying it happens to like. That people who get enjoyment out of fanservice shows or harem-ish romcoms can't possibly ALSO like the other stuff. Just because we get some enjoyment out of the 'mediocre' or 'bad' stuff doesn't mean that's all we like and don't also want other, different, better shows.
Sure, I get some enjoyment out of shows like Oda Nobuna no Yabou and NakaImo and even import some like OreImo and Haganai (though I see the latter two as distinctly and vastly better than the first two). I also watched Fate/Zero and Mawaru Penguindrum and spent ~$400 on Hourou Musuko (Wandering Son) and will spend a similar amount on Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity Has Declined). I give a lot of shows a try even if I don't expect to like them. I usually drop them within an episode or two but sometimes I find something worth watching.
Of course, I'm not Japanese but I think people are way too quick to make assumptions and oversimplify the Japanese viewers.
Uhhh.... I guess that kind of gets to the subsequent question about categorizing fans and Brian's answer to it. So, um, yeah. I'll just say that I strongly resent these attempts by people who dislike what makes up the bulk of current anime to 'analyze' the people who like and buy them (and frequently relates to how they're doing some horrible wrong to the shows THEY like).
Oh, but if you want to "make things different"? Buy the JP BDs of those shows you think need to do better and convince anyone else who seriously wants to make a difference to do the same. Seriously. If you can afford to buy 2-3 sets of R1 anime a month, you can afford to buy JP BDs and THAT is what will make a difference, if enough people do it.

Comedy is entirely subjective. Sure, the fanservice stuff isn't very funny to me and I actually hate it (maybe because I'm a girl...) however, the slapstick comedy, like the Ed and Winry parts, I do enjoy to some extent.
I agree that comedy is needed in dramatic anime or else it'll just be a big dramatic drag... so I welcome that kind of comedy in shows. Actually, I look for that kind of comedy. Any other shows that don't have it? Well, I won't be watching those....sadly, the anime that does have what I like aren't licensed, so I stick to importing those series from Japan.

Can I just say that the half-hour drama format is one of the reasons I like anime? It's virtually unheard of on US television today, but the short drama was once a thing. The Twilight Zone excelled at telling taut little morality plays in 30 minutes, without the distraction of a B-plot or the never-worth-the-effort C-plot, and that efficiency can be seen in stand-alone episodes of episodic anime like Cowboy Bebop or (at times) Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
When long-running arcs are involved, sampling the story in shorter dollops works nicely too: it's painful to imagine something as slow-moving as Clannad being doled out in 60-minute increments. I didn't know going in that that first episode of Fate/Zero was double-length (45 minutes without ads or a second set of credits), and at some point in that grueling info-dump, I was thinking WHY? WHY WON'T YOU END ALREADY?

Figure 17 was aired monthly on AT-X. I believe that it was split into twenty six twenty-two minutes episodes for a later weekly airing on a different network. I would like to see anime experiment with lengths and forms more. More diversity in that might allow more diversity of subject. I would not, however, want a universal change to hour-length shows. That didn't exactly help the
Japanese comedy tends to feel a little 'special', in the length-of-the-bus sense. I suppose that it's cultural inscrutability and nobody can deny that terrifying amounts of American comedy is lousy too (I think that watching the premier of Whitney was the closest you can come to literally watching laughter die), but it's easy to feel that they don't really try to, "do our best," when it comes to the jokes. Maybe there's a difference not just in what they find funny, but what the Japanese feel the role of comedy should be and what it can be used for.
I wish that, "boobs," wasn't in the title; that's just asking for it, especially in an Answerman thread.

A few weeks ago, I was watching an OAV for the first time and had the strangest feeling of deja vu. Then I suddenly realized - the OAV was doing a parody of an obscure (in the US) anime that I had seen briefly at an anime convention. Once I realized what they were doing, I found it very funny, but I never would have picked up on the joke if I hadn't attended a particular panel at a particular convention.
Now I'm not denying that there are plenty of shallow anime comedies out there, but I have to wonder how often Western anime fans don't even realize that they're missing out on a joke because they don't have the relevant background or pop culture knowledge.

The OVA of Maria-sama ga Miteru, the 3rd, "Summer" series, had longer episodes ... AFAIR, about 40-45 minutes each ... which fit quite well with the original light novel content. And from memory, the animation is higher quality than the second, "Spring" series.
But then again, the five episodes went on on sale on about a two-month cycle: #1 29 Nov 2006, #2 29 Jan, #3 28 March, #4 30 May and #5 25 July 2007. When you can spend two months on one stage of the production pipeline for one episode and then move on, its possible to animate 45 minutes of content without cutting as many corners as on a 22min weekly broadcast television series.

|Katanagatari has double length episodes, but I think they made only 1 each month for a year, so I imagine they would've had more time to work on each episode than a weekly show would have.

But do you eat it every day? I like stuff like pizza, but I wouldn't want it every day, so it really depends on how much you can tolerate it. And it can vary. If your watching five or more anime and seeing the same stuff, that can hamper on your viewing. Someone how watches it spacely can probably take it much better. I think maybe moderation is the key or if there's not much to the show, you can drop it. I would go for watching different genres and spacing it out to keep it from stalling.

I agree with this question 100%. Most any person with the cultural background to support it would tell you that if you haven't lived in Japan you will miss AT LEAST half the jokes in something like Urusei Yatsura. I think it's incredibly short sighted for someone to say all anime comedies are either "boob jokes" or "tsudere fetish". While there is a lot of that, there's also a TON of humor that that person might not get. There's an anime right now that goes crazy with pun-related humor, which people who don't speak japanese WILL NOT UNDERSTAND (just like people who don't speak English wouldn't get the same kind of American gags). Slapstick is easy to RECOGNIZE as humor, even if you don't like it. Humor that is more "high brow" requires more knowledge of the material in question or it will sail right over your head.
Heck, who remembers all the Animaniacs and Looney Toons/Tiny Toons gags that a typical 8-yr old would probably not understand, but college kids across the country loved.
edit: I also want to note that while Answerman (and other ANN staff) may love Redline, just because an anime has critical appeal and brings something "unusual" to the table, does not automatically mean it will endure. I read the comment on People looking back fondly on Redline and my immediate first thought was Dead Leaves

I have to agree with HitokiriShadow that there seems to be someidea that people who watch lower quality shows only like those lower quality shows.
In all honesty its something that ever since I've gotten into the anime community, I have always been the most cynical and irritated on. people who like shonens can apparently only like shonens and nothing more. people who like these 'highly praised masterpiece' works apparently have no time for anything less than thier convoluted stadards. People who like harem shows or romcoms are apparently so deep in the garbage can of humanity, anc can only stay in that level forever and more.
WHAT THE fudge ARE YOU GIVING ME WITH THAT?!
Do I like good works, yes, yes I do. I enjoy and respect series that put thought and acctual story telling effort into their work and break the norm. I'm just not the type of person to ride that horse like I'm trying to win a million dollars for a rodeo show! What I really like is simply whatever entertains me and what REALLY makes me stick with a series is wether I get a particular amount of enjoyment off of it. and that can come from anything, I generally like humor and or light hearted shows, darker shows that acctually know what they're trying to do(this also applies to shows that try to be profound and question everything), some nice looking action shows and I also like a tidbit of romance every now and again. all of those things I go to anime/manga/Light Novels for in general because diffrent series do particlar things. yes there are genres and sub gernes, but there is no one genre that can give me everything, not all action shows or shonens can give me romance or a truly ingaging plot, yet not all shows that delvuge so deeply into the human psyche or morals can truly entertain me. In the end its as simple as I like what I like.
now as for the set up of guy gets hit by tsundere for no reason, over time I have come up with a few guesses as to why its used, how it can be funny and be relevent, its just that most of the time its poorly set up.

So I guess this person watched one show and judged all series based on it. If they don't even know what manzai is, let alone what a tsukkomi or boke are, then I don't think they have anywhere near the amount of exposure or knowledge needed to write off an entire genre. There's so many types of Japanese comedies (and even then they're not limited to Japan at all) it would be like me writing off American comedy because I dislike the toilet humor in Ren & Stimpy, which clearly every American comedy is like, right? I can make misinformed generalizations too.

Have to agree with Titan on this one, there's just nothing logical about that standpoint at all; generalizations are actually very rarely logical, if ever. Just because there is one common story type that gets a lot of attention in a genre or doesn't mean that the genre and itself doesn't see successful titles that do not fit that type. When you generalize to that level you're only doing yourself a disservice as you'll just be inclined to write things off without giving them a fair shake.
Yes, paint by the numbers generic story types exist in anime just like every other medium that has ever existed likely since artistic expression began, that doesn't mean that it's all that is out there. You're not really assessing things fairly if you're going to write off a whole genre because of one currently prolific sub-genre.

|Oddly enough, you're a bit mistaken with the Ghost in the Shell television series. Back in the haydays of Production IG's forums, many of the community members were able to interact with the production staff. We learned that the schedule was often quite hectic since they produced two episodes a month (for airing on PPV) and their turnaround time was considerable shorter than most. Most of the time they were just finishing the final touches on the next set of episodes when one set was on the air.

Should do business for fans of young solo action.
These nine solo sequences of young, smooth skaterboyz are about as basic as you can get. Most of the shots seem to be mounted on a tripod, with some bad framing ruining some of them. And most of the jacks are pretty standard. But these guys are young and hard, and some have an engaging presence. Jonathan Priest is the most fun of the bunch, while Kurt Thurston, Jayden and Kent Stryker have particularly memorable dicks.


text: Has anyone had a similar experience to this???? I had my m/c at the end of October it took several weeks to get my period. It wasn't exactly normal which I was expecting. However I have not had a period since then and that was 38 days ago, before my m/c my cycles were usually around 32 days. Also all pregnancy tests I have taken come back negative. Is this normal or do I need to call my doctor?

Since the introduction of the diphtheria antitoxin as a specific remedy in diphtheria, I have used it in 127 cases of diphtheria with a record of five deaths.
As the character of my cases were in many instances of the most dangerous variety, and in nineteen instances necessitated the operation of intubation, I may not be misjudged if I ascribe to the specific action of antitoxin the results obtained.
To briefly summarize my work they are: Tonsillar 67; pharyngeal and tonsillar 14; nasal, pharyngeal and tonsillar 1; pharyngeal 1; laryngeal 12; tonsillarand laryngeal 18; pharyngeal, tonsillar and laryngeal 8; nasal, pharyngeal, tonsillar and laryngeal 4; pharyngeal and laryngeal 2; total 127; number of deaths 5.
The ages were: Under 1 year 4 cases; between 1 and 5 years 55 cases; between 5 and 10 years 30 cases; between 10 and 20 years 13 cases; between 20 and 40 years 25

Any residential or commercial property owner will know that the better your property looks, the more money you're likely going to get for it if you choose to sell. One of the major factors that contributes towards a high property value is the property exterior – i.e. the landscaping. Whether in the front yard or the back yard, if your property exterior is appealing, inviting and provides a nice atmosphere, chances are very high that it will make your overall property value worth more.
While some property owners have the budget to hire a professional landscape design company or garden designer, others are not so fortunate. A landscaping project can end up costing tens of thousands of dollars, depending on what kind of changes you're looking to make to the area. If you're one of these property owners that doesn't have a huge budget to work with, you can always consider a DIY landscaping project.
When it comes to DIY landscaping, doing the right research will result in a great looking outdoor area in your property. Nowadays, with Google readily available, you can look up DIY landscaping tips and DIY landscaping video tutorials to help you with your own project. Throughout this website, we'll give you the basic tips and tricks you need to know to make your DIY landscaping project easier and more affordable.
For those who are hiring the services of a professional landscape architect, worrying about the budget isn't a big deal, as the architect will generally work with what you have to decide where funds go in the project.
If you're going the DIY landscaping route, you'll need to have a sit down and think about your finances. Do you already have a set amount ready to use for the project? Or are you having to save over time to get this?
You can check out some handy budget planning tools and checklists online to help you to get an idea of what's required for the budgeting side of things.
Through any do it yourself project, the aim of the game is to save money wherever and whenever possible. One of the major things that can help you achieve a cheap landscaping project is to call upon help from friends and family.
The first way that you can get your friends and family to help is through the labour. If any of them have a bit of a green thumb, or don't mind a bit of gardening labour work, ask for their help with the project. Rather than having to pay contractors by the hour, you can save a lot of money by paying friends and family another way (say, shouting them out to dinner at the end of the day).
The other way that your friends and family can help depends on what industry they all work in. Do you know someone who works at a garden supplies shop? Someone who works in swimming pool design? Or perhaps someone who you can hire a skip bin from to take care of any building or garden waste? Have a chat with friends and family and see if there's anything they can contribute towards a cheaper DIY landscaping project.

"Today's seminar is about a subject near and dear to my heart: Reality Benders. Type Greens. Mary Sues. Bixbies, Shapers, Wizards, Gods, Devils, Outside Observers, call them what you will, these are the guys that change reality based on perception and willpower."
—Transcript of Dr. Clef's Seminar, "Reality Benders and You: How To Survive When The Universe Doesn't", SCP Foundation
PHASE 4: The Child-God Sadly, the majority of Type Greens will end at Phase 4. During this phase, the reality bender becomes obsessed with the power it possesses and will attempt to utilize it for personal gain at the cost of others. This phase is marked by reduced empathy for other humans, inability to accept personal faults, and increased megalomania.
Although warning signs are numerous, the key aspect of a Phase 4 is the use of their abilities to manipulate other humans. Teenage and young adult Type Greens will typically use their abilities for sexual purposes, while children will attempt to make strangers their "friends." Older adults may attempt to manipulate others for love or financial gain. Although a few cases have resulted where the Type Green then reverts to Phase 3, 99% of them will remain at Phase 4 until eliminated. For this reason, Phase 4 Type Greens should be considered Threat Level 5 (Immediate Threat) and eliminated immediately.

Their eyes have the same color as ours, because we like this color. They are taciturn, because we are not interested in hearing their ramblings. They are active, because we like discussing their doings. We live alone, but our elders come to Arvarokhians to die and enjoy these creatures — they are the pinnacle of our common workings. Arvarokhians like to die, because they believe that each of them may be reborn as a burivukh. This is but a superstition, but sometimes we believe they succeed.
—Kurush, a burivukh, Labyrinths of Echo
Hows this for a mouthful: corduroy capers blooming on roof of a tumbleweed cave made entirely out of applesauce and flamingo feathers. Done saying that? Discords done doing that. Or, hes done it. He has brought the sentence into being, and watched as it slowly rolled away, a mess of chaos. Lifes a snap for the old Draconequus, and with a click of his fingers he could turn the world into modern art, or just coat it in a layer of raspberry jam and toffee chunks. Things have gotten a lot more fun since he broke out of that old statue. At least, in his opinion it has.
—Fostering Intelligence, a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic
Let me try to explain this in terms your primitive intellect can grasp. He's crazy. Even the Q recognize a common consensual reality, a certain metaphysical bedrock or foundation that transcends even our own infinite command over time and space, energy and matter. The alternative is utter chaos, and we all understand that. So do the Organians and the Metrons and the Douwd and all the other truly advanced intelligences. But not 0, not anymore. He's different now. He doesn't recognize any reality at all, on any level, except his own twisted perceptions, which means he's free to distort the fundamental underpinnings of the multiverse to an absolutely unthinkable degree. The observer affects the observed, Picard. Even your own quantum physicists know that. So 0's insanity grants him an insane amount of power. Does this make any sense at all to you, mon capitaine?
The ability to manipulate boundaries is a terrifying ability capable of fundamentally undermining reality. As far as we know, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries. If there was no water surface, there could be no lake. If there was no sky line, neither mountain nor sky could exist. Were it not for the Great Barrier, even Gensokyo itself wouldn't exist. If there were no boundaries, everything would probably exist as a single enormous object. Thus, the ability to manipulate boundaries is by logic an ability of creation and destruction. It essentially creates a new being, or rejects the existence of a being. [...] It's said that this ability is not limited to physical space, but also applies to pictures, others' dreams, and even stories.
—Hieda no Akyuu, on Yukari Yakumo, Touhou
Reality has exiled me. I am no longer bound by its laws.
— Ixidor, Reality Sculptor, Magic: The Gathering
The Awakened will is a mighty thing, capable of fantastic and dangerous feats. The enlightened may divine the future, heal the sick with miracles or create machines far beyond the level of mundane technology. Always lurking is the danger of Paradox, though, to keep the stress of being pushed and twisted by the Awakened from tearing apart the very fabric of reality. Mages must be careful, always striving to make their changes subtle and safe, both for their own good and the good of those around them.
Now imagine this enlightened will, capable of amazing acts, with absolutely no regard for safety or restraint. Imagine it with no regard for the forces of Paradox that might come to keep reality stable - or in fact with no regard for reality at all. Imagine, for a moment, an enlightened mind so divorced from the conception of the world held by the common man that it can't even tell when it's changing reality or just existing. This is what a Marauder is: a living embodiment of Dynamism. The world warps and tears from the force of their constantly broadcast wills, going fluid and reforming to match their skewed inner realities.
—Mage: The Ascension - The Book Of Madness
Nissiku was his name, and his name meant "the clever prince." [...} He came into the family; he was one of the first. When he drank from Malkav and was reborn... perhaps he drank too deeply. His Sight reached beyond reality, and his too-clever fingers were able to follow. I hear tales of the Clever Prince reaching through the skin of the world and drawing for the cold, sharp-edged things that lie beyond the soft, loving mirage. Malkav abandoned him soon after his rebirth, it's said; I wonder if the father didn't see too much of himself in his childe.
—Vampire: The Masquerade - Clanbook: Malkavian (Revised)
It's not as simple as the lance changing its course and piercing her heart. The lance did not change its course, but changed the means so that the result would be so. The lance thrust with that name carried the "result" of "piercing her heart" as a premise. In other words, the process and the result were reversed. As long as there was the result of the lance piercing her heart, the course of the lance was merely something added later to prove that fact.

Definition of chastity belt in English:
chastity belt
A garment or device designed to prevent a woman from having sexual intercourse.
Example sentences
- 'I should think a chastity belt might be a good start,' said Carolyn.
- Virginity doesn't imply being locked up with a chastity belt - today virginity means having respect for your body.
- Unlike the chastity belt, which functions literally to lock up the wife's private parts, the marriage girdle functions in a figurative sense, as a sign that the woman is off limits for other men's use.

Budget Bath Floorplan
By angling the tub and shower entry in the two far corners, Susan made room for both fixtures on one end of the room. She tucked the toilet out of sight in a niche created by a bumpout for the master bedroom's walk-in closet. And to leave ample counter space for toiletries, she designed a double-wide vanity for just a single sink.

SDD is better for reading data and a HDD is better for writing data.
SSD are limited in size so I can only keep a select set of data on it...
Should I install Windows on the SSD or on the HDD?
Should I create junction points (soft/hard links) to move folders between the SSD and HDD?
Eg. Temporary folders would better fit on the HDD,
Program Files should be on the HDD but Games I play the most would fit better on the HDD.
SSD:\Windows\Tempwould be REPARSED to
HDD:\Temporary Files\Windows
SSD:\Program Fileswould be REPARSED to
HDD:\Programs\A Good Gameto
SSD:\Program Files\A Good Game
Or will the REPARSES from the HDD to the SSD cause too much overhead?
Are there any other tips regarding which data should be put on which drive?

Other ways to spend moneyJanuary 16,2013
Other ways to spend money
The half-page article on Jan. 7 about the noise of the F-35 has one sentence about the $130 million cost of one plane. Total cost of the planned basing of 18 to 24 aircraft in Burlington would cost the taxpayers in this country over $3 billion. I wonder what that could buy instead of the F-35?
It could buy a four-year college education for 31,200 students. Or it could buy new roads, bridges, develop sustainable energy, pay off our national debt. According to federal reports, that amount of money could create more jobs than spending it on the most expensive military procurement ever.
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, U.S. chief of naval operations, has questioned the value of the aircraft, saying that military procurement is too focused on building ever-costlier aircraft of complex design and much of this may be irrelevant to the Navys typical missions in the past 20 years.
Its also interesting to know that Lockheed Martin, contractor for the F-35, spent over $11 million lobbying in 2012 and paid its CEO Robert Stevens $20 million in compensation.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
There's been a wealth of children comics available recently, but I feel pretty safe in saying there hasn't been anything quite like Kevin Scalzo's Sugar Booger. At least, I haven't seen any comics involving a large, boisterous, bright blue bear with the uncanny ability to make delicious candy spew forth from his nose.
Although he's been a part of the alternative comics scene for several decades now, Scalzo is jumping into serialized waters with the release of the first issue of this ongoing series (two more issues are planned for 2014) from Alternative Comics.
Combining a DayGlo pop sensibility with some Margaret Keane-like eyeballs, a dash of (PG-rated) underground grotesquery, and a dollop of Casper the Friendly Ghost for good measure, Sugar Booger is a rather tart confection that, while perhaps not for all tastes, will be appreciated by those who like a salty edge to their confectioneries.
I talked to Scalzo over email about the new comic, writing for kids, and his plans for the series.
While I did not attend Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) Art Festival 2009, held back on June 6-7, I was struck at the amount of constructive feedback that came out of people's reports after the festival. It goes without saying that almost everyone thought the new venue (the 69th Regiment Armory) needed air conditioning and many folks were understandably dismayed with the logistical challenges and delays that occurred at the festival's start. While reading a great deal of reactions from attendees and exhibitors, I was curious to get a lessons learned perspective from the organizers. Fortunately, Karl Erickson, MoCCA Director, was willing to take my email questions. In his answers, Erickson seemingly made it clear he was open to constructive feedback. While my questions aimed to cover a great deal of various concerns, I welcome folks to chime in with additional thoughts in the comments section. My thanks to Erickson for his time.
Tim O'Shea: The first question has to be–did you explore the possibility of air conditioning this year? Was it deemed just too cost prohibitive? If you're staying at the Armory, do you intend to have air conditioning in 2010?
Karl Erickson: We did explore air conditioning for the Armory, but, yes, it was just too expensive. As far as staying at the Armory we are looking at dates earlier in the spring to help alleviate the heat.
O'Shea: Can you speak to what happened to cause the hour-long delay on Saturday and logistical challenges (like delayed book deliveries, only one trashcan on the show floor [by some reports], names missing from the guide book)–and are you establishing measures to try to minimize these situations next year?
Erickson: The delay was due to a few different factors, the major being a severe miscommunication with the trucking company that was to deliver not only many of our exhibitor's books, but all of our supplies for the festival, not least being our cash registers and other check-in essentials. Of the problems that we did have, having one trashcan for the entire show floor was not one of them. We definitely had many trashcans.
We are certainly taking steps to contain and minimize the mistakes of this year, the most important of which is getting a much earlier jump in the planning and execution of the Festival. This includes a lengthy review of the 2009 Festival with practical solutions suggested. These include moving the Festival earlier in the spring (as this is not the first year we have had heat problems, AC or no), starting on every aspect of the Festival earlier, and creating a new MoCCA website that will deliver information much more effectively to exhibitors and attendees.

We were 3 guests. We did not met Anna but Regina was our host and she was very helpful and nice. She was waiting for us in the apartment and she gave us all the information we needed. The apartment was properly equipped and big enough for us and it was very easy to reach the city center by taking the bus. The only negative point of our experience was that we couldn't connect the wifi because we didn't get the proper code. I think if Anna should leave a note with it to avoid this problem. But everything else was great as commented above.
We really enjoyed our stay in amsterdam and Annas appartment. It is a very inspiring appartment, you find everything you need and such a nice view over amsterdam !
Everything was Welle organized and it was a pleasure to meet Regina, the responsible person during our stay.
Thanks a lot to them.
Delightful apartment top floor of modern apartment building overlooking Westerpark. Convenient bus connection to Central Station and tram connection to Leidesplein and beyond. Clean, efficient. Electronics including WiFi all work. Helpful, accessible host. Small apartment by US standards but larger than a hotel suite and less money than a regular hotel room.
great location, great views,clean and tidy, needed assistance to operate appmt door entry,we found that the single bed and pillows were very well used ,a choice of pillows would be desirable.
Overall a good appmt for the duration of our stay, Thank you
The apartment was great in terms of cleanliness and space. Another thing was the location. There was a bus stop and a tram station directly next to the building. It took from 10-15 minutes to reach the center. At the same time the neighborhood was quiet, which is another bonus in my opinion.
