Not to be confused with Mr. Visitor's House'
Mrs. Roger's House was a house on 1313 Thirteenth Street [1] conjured by Wat as a trap for the Ghostbusters. [2]
The Ghostbusters were called to this house to deal with the hauntings. While Peter Venkman thought the call was another false alarm, Egon Spengler got readings right before his P.K.E. Meter went out. When Peter had an altercation with the house and ended up in the basement, all three Ghostbusters heard the name "Wat". Egon researched the name in Tobin's Spirit Guide and found Wat was a general and has a desire to rule the living world. Ray Stantz returned to the house to find the hauntings are now very apparent and meets with the other Ghostbusters. Egon leads them with his P.K.E. Meter to the back of the house in Mrs. Rogers' closet in her bedroom. They determine at that point Mrs. Rogers is Wat. As they try to leave the house, the house makes ever effort to stop them.
Towards the last room the house turns completely ectoplasmic in nature. The Ghostbusters finally get out when the possessed oven blows up. Later, it is shown that after Wat's capture, that the house was completely made of ghosts which all went back in a chest, which then exploded leaving an empty yard.
- Based on the address and storyboards, the house is located in the Levittown suburbs of Long Island.
- In Ghostbusters Issue #8, Mr. Visitor's House is visually based on Mrs. Roger's House.

To help language learners with this need, in 2010 I
organized weekly conversation groups in San Diego,
California, and Rio de Janeiro through the
organization meetup.com. Actually, in Rio we
practice both Portuguese and English at the
same time. These groups have been meeting
regularly for a little over two years.
The Rio group meets at an open-air snack bar on Copacabana Beach every Monday at 7:30 PM. Over the first two years we've averaged a dozen attendees each week, but lately around 20 people have been showing up and staying until 10:00 or 10:30 PM. We have members from over two dozen countries. Travelers to Rio often hear about us on the internet or from friends, then stop by to learn some of the local language, sharpen their English, and make friends. Short-term visitors to "The Marvelous City" take advantage of the group to make contacts who help them find their way around town.
The atmosphere is informal, with no real structure other than sitting around a half dozen tables pushed together. I leave an English-Portuguese dictionary on the table (the Larousse dictionary, found in our store), some Brazilian and American magazines, and note paper for people to write down new words. English speakers help Brazilians with their English and vice-versa. Check out our group at: http://www.meetup.com/Aprenda-Ingles-Learn-Portuguese.
In San Diego, we meet at a Brazilian restaurant/store, where the members enjoy chatting with employees and Brazilians who come to have a meal or a beer. The atmosphere is informal, with people arriving around 6:00 P.M. and leaving at 8:30 or 9:00.
San Diego is close to Mexico and we have several Spanish-speakers in the group. They have a
head start on Portuguese, but need to be careful of confusions between the two similar languages.
For example "embarazado" in Portuguese means "embarrassed," like in English, but
"embarasada" in Spanish is "pregnant"
(see an upcoming article on the relationship
between Spanish and Portuguese).
There isn't much English practice at the San Diego
meetings since most members already speak the language.
But gringos sometimes pick up a bit of Spanish, and
even have been known to take a quick trip across the
border for a bit of Mexican food or night life. If you're ever
in the San Diego area on a Monday evening, be sure to stop by
and say "aló". We can be found at http://www.meetup.com/Converse-em-Portugues.
Why not start a similar group in your city? It's surprising how many Brazilians live in the U.S. Try to find a Brazilian store or restaurant as a regular meeting place. Attendees can chat with the Brazilian employees and customers, plus buy Brazilian products like havaianas (rubber thong sandles), pão de queixo (delicious cheese bread), or guaraná, the other Brazilian energy drink.
The first step is to contact meetup.com and sign up as a group organizer. You can sponsor the group yourself or ask the Brazilian restaurant, a travel agent, or another local business to underwrite the very reasonable monthly fee.
If you do start a group, don't forget to let me know. Tell your members about our site www.learn-brazilian-portuguese.com and we'll give you a special mention.
Boa sorte!

Back to the Future – Historic Films Capture Century 21 Exposition
Posted on: Monday, March 12, 2012 - 10:00am
Topic(s): Updates
2012 marks the 50 year anniversary of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair) of 1962. Held on the site of the present-day Seattle Center, the Fair's theme and exhibitions emphasized the role of science and technology in paving the way to an improved future way of life. Among the notable attractions were the newly-constructed Space Needle and the Alweg monorail.
Although the Space Needle frequently dominates memories of the Fair, visitors were presented with many and varied spectacles, including exhibitions of science, commerce, industry and art. Among the less orthodox and more adult attractions was Gracie Hansen's "Paradise International Club" featuring Las Vegas style revue shows. In an August 1962 interview with KVOS-TV (see footage below), Hansen described her "pet theory that science will never replace sex or cotton candy," and subsequent journey to the stage at the Century 21 Exposition.
Clips from this KVOS interview (archived at WWU's Center for Pacific Northwest Studies) will appear in a new KCTS 9 documentary about the history and impact of the Exposition, entitled "When Seattle Invented The Future" (air-date March 24). Footage from the same "Girls, Glitter and Gracie" interview is also featured in an online trailer for Don Horn/Triangle Production's musical "Gracie," opening in Portland, Oregon in the Spring.
For more information about World's Fair related materials available through Western Libraries and its Heritage Resources programs, please contact us and/or visit this online research guide at: http://libguides.wwu.edu/worldsfairs. A selection of KVOS Channel 12 Films (including "Girls, Glitter and Gracie" and an earlier Jack Webster Report about the 1962 Exposition) can be accessed online as part of Western Libraries' Digital Collections.

"Viva la California!" - Gold Rush Letters Online
Posted on: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 - 12:46pm
Digital content from the papers of M. L. (Marc La Riviere) Stangroom is now available online as part of Western Libraries' Digital Collections. Born in England in 1832, Stangroom travelled to America as a young man, where he engaged in railroad surveying work and mining speculation in California and the Sierra Nevadas. In 1888, at the request of railroad magnate Pierre Cornwall, Stangroom moved to Bellingham, Washington to assist in building the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia railway.
The new online collection includes digital copies and transcripts of correspondence from Stangroom to family members about his travels and experiences from 1855 through 1873. These handwritten letters provide extensive and fascinating detail of his early life and career, and vivid descriptions of western landscapes including California redwood forests and the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Stangroom documents gold prospecting efforts, life in the mining town of Michigan Bluff (Placer County, California), and interactions between white settlers and the Native American population. A June 1858 letter describes how Californians are driven "stark raving mad" by the lure of gold in British Columbia, with hundreds of men leaving daily for the Fraser River. Stangroom's letters also reveal aspects of his personal and family life, including his courtship and marriage.
Illustrated portion of a December 2, 1855 letter by M.L. Stangroom.
The online collection includes full-text, searchable transcripts of all letters, a 16 page reminiscence by Stangroom about his life (also transcribed), and a fifteen-page report about the construction of the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia Railroad. Completed in 1891, the BB&BC Railroad provided a rail connection from Bellingham to Sumas and the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway.
The original and larger collection of Stangroom papers is archived and available at WWU's Center for Pacific Northwest (CPNWS). A complete guide to the collection is available online.
Additional CPNWS holdings on the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia Railroad include corporate records of the Bellingham Bay Improvement Company. Related images are available in the Bruce Cheever Railroad Photograph Collection and through the online CPNWS Photo Database.

Philosophy of Care
I enter into every therapeutic relationship with a confident belief that the individual who is seeking help to resolve personal and painful issues will leave therapy with improved critical and rational thinking skills, emotional strength, and an increased feeling of well-being. This is a journey I take with the patient until they can continue the journey without me. My goal as a therapist is to get people out of therapy as soon as they feel confident to again resume life in a productive and satisfying way. I feel gratitude every time I see a smile replace sadness and fear.
Although many different treatment methods and strategies can be used to attack various problematic psychological issues, my primary focus is to confront head-on the patient's destructive, stressful and unhealthy thinking patterns that directly and indirectly impact their emotional well-being and their relationships with others. The time-frame to defeat old thinking habits will depend on several different factors primarily: the length of time the patterns have existed and the desire, willingness, and drive of the patient to improve their life. It is my job to convince the patient that the changes will be beneficial and to clearly show the patient exactly how to make the changes happen. I am passionate about this work.
Education and Licensure
- Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) in Clinical, Counseling, and School Psychology. Utah State University, 1970
- Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology, Utah State University, 1968
- Licensed by the State of Utah as a psychologist, Current
- Lifetime license in the State of California in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling
Clinical Experience
During the 45 years I have been in the psychology profession I have worked in community mental health centers, hospitals, private practice, in the legal arena and have taught at several different universities and colleges full and part-time. I have primarily worked as a therapist, but have also frequently been a director and supervisor of clinical services at various facilities over the years. I did detour for about four years into public education at the middle school level to help establish mental health services within schools. As a result of working with county, state and national education programs I was the recipient of the Middle School Counselor of the Year award for North Carolina and the United States (2001).
I devoted about 15 years of my career specializing in the evaluation and treatment of abused children and have state and national publications on the subject.

Program & Speakers:
Retirement is a major life stressor. Failure to anticipate retirement issues can leave lawyers stressed and increase the risk of their leaving practice with ethical problems rather than a graceful exit from a long and successful career. Many questions abound: How much do I need to retire? What is the right emotional perspective for one to have in considering retirement? What ethical issues should I consider? Questions like these are increasingly being entertained by attorneys at early, mid and late-career levels. In this CLE two professionals who serve as adjuncts to the legal community collaborate to review not only the major financial pitfalls that cause stress, but also the psychological dilemmas inherent in retirement decisions. Come and learn how good planning will reduce retirement financial stress, and the eight habits of highly successful retirees.

'Skyfall' yields high-interest 'Bond – James Bond, 007'
November 15, 2012
The psyche of James Bond is explored in this 23rd Bond film that marks the 50th anniversary of a middle-aged franchise and a perennially middle-aged Bond. While some things remain the same, this Bond is different. He's feeling his age, and bears as many internal as external scars. Presumed dead when an operation goes awry, Bond takes an unscheduled, unsanctioned vacation. He drinks too much, is angry with MI6 and is seemingly tired of being 007. He's taken up residence in a tropical paradise with a beauty who adores him, but his love of thrill-seeking surfaces in a bar, where he turns drinking into a deadly game of courage and luck – to the delight of mesmerized onlookers.
M, played with graceful gravitas by Judi Dench, is in an awful spot. Following a failed operation involving Bond, she's on the cusp of receiving her walking papers from supervisor Gareth Mallory (a subdued Ralph Fiennes). M is still reeling from this encounter when MI6 headquarters is attacked by a cyber-bully who also happens to be an ace with bombs. Her adversary is Silva (wily Javier Bardem), an ex-agent with a monstrous ax to grind.
Unkempt and contemplating his newly purchased bottle of whiskey, Bond hears news of the attack, prompting his return to MI6. Daniel Craig's rough exterior enhances Bond's seedy appearance, compelling M to insist he undergo a barrage of tests to determine his "fitness as an agent."
At MI6's new digs, Bond is asked to complete a round of physical and psychological tests. The agency's new location is a dungeon of stacked dim rooms fallen into disrepair. The set is a production designer's dream: Dank, dirty green with peeling paint – the intimidation factor of the interrogation room would find me confessing to whatever was called for. Crammed into another small room are banks of computers overseen by cyber-genius Q (a geeky Ben Whishaw).
These surroundings are an allegory for the state of the spy-game. Technology has allowed computers to enhance the human factor, but despite intelligence-gathering advances, spying remains a primitive endeavor dependent on assumed identities, infiltration, torture and killing. The old and the new commingle here, sometimes uncomfortably.
The set pieces dazzle with old-school action and choreography that possesses a certain archaic charm. Director Sam Mendes can't wait to surprise us. We've seen several chases across the same set of Turkish rooftop sidewalks over the past few years, but never on motorcycles that drift onto the clay-tile rooftops. Likewise, a chase across the top of a train makes use of found equipment that doubles the destruction.
Things break, and so do people. As the film opens, Bond is partnered with Eve (a perky Naomie Harris), a talented agent hard-pressed to keep up with her veteran partner. We don't foresee the shocking ending to this sequence, though it provides the perfect spot for the opening credits – about 20 minutes into the film. As in all Bond movies, the credit sequence is an artistic flight of whimsy, drama and danger, set to Adele's croonings, who has surely earned herself another hit.
The film's most remarkable character, Silva, could easily have become a cartoon, but is saved from this fate by Bardem, who makes Silva's PTSD and resulting insanity seem appropriate. Silva's allegories often accompany plot twists while serving as a window into his sense of betrayal and need for revenge. He's a fully realized villain that we hope will somehow survive this episode to rise again.
The film depicts Bond's dalliances in shadows and innuendo, and finds him psychologically punished for what might be construed as his past sins. He is driven to dark places by this plot, and while he never fully emerges into the light, he comes to remember that despite its hardships, being 007 isn't without its perks. The same can be said for the viewers who watch him.

What if cannot attend an AMI event because of bad weather, industrial action, sickness or bereavement?
Unfortunately AMI cannot take responsibility for such problems.

It is entirely possible that you may need a valid visa to enter a country where AMI is holding an event. This is especially the case for individuals attending our events and holding non-European passports. We recommend that at the time of booking you check the visa requirements with the embassy of the host country in your home location. We are unable to give refunds to delegates who cannot attend conferences because they fail the visa requirements of the country concerned.
Does the conference programme ever change?
AMI always does its utmost to avoid changes in advertised conference programs. However it is a fact of life that from time to time amendments have to be made as a result of changes to speakers' circumstances or corporate change. Remember that you can always check with our conference staff on the latest status of any conference program.
Can I give a paper at an AMI Conference?
Naturally AMI welcomes paper offers for presentation at our conferences provided such papers meet our quality and relevance requirements. Within each conference heading you will find a section on 'Call for Papers', which tells you what to do if you want to present a paper at a specific conference.
I would like to suggest a new conference.

When a person becomes unable to manage their assets because of mental incapacity, an application can be made to the courts for them to become a Ward of Court. The court must make a decision as to whether they are capable of managing their own property for his or her own benefit and the benefit of his or her dependants. If it is decided that the person cannot manage their own property because of mental incapacity, a Committee is appointed to control the assets on the Ward's behalf.
A person under 18 years old may be taken into Wardship as a minor for reasons other than mental incapacity.
The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 provides a statutory framework for people who require assistance in making decisions about their welfare and their property and affairs. The Act provides for people who have been brought into Wardship to have their capacity assessed and brought under this new statutory framework instead – these parts of the Act have not yet come into operation.
When a person is under 18 years of age and is awarded damages, the money is paid into the court and invested on the minor's behalf until they reach the age of 18. People in this category are not Wards of Court. If, however, the minor has special housing or care needs, they may be taken into Wardship as a minor.
If a house is bought for the minor, it is registered in their name. When they reach the age of 18 years, provided they are of full mental capacity, they can apply to the High Court for payment of any funds held on their behalf.
To be made a Ward, the court must be satisfied that the person is of unsound mind and incapable of managing their own affairs. In some cases, a person can be taken into Wardship for their own protection. This would normally only arise in the case of a person with a mental disability rather than a psychiatric illness.
If you think there are grounds for someone being made a Ward of Court you should contact a solicitor to take the necessary steps. Alternatively, if you do not wish to be involved in the application yourself, you should write to the Registrar of Wards of Court asking for the necessary steps to be taken.
In either case, information must be provided about their medical condition, next-of-kin, assets and income.
If you are made a Ward of Court, the court may appoint a Committee to deal with your personal affairs. The Committee means the person(s) into whose care the ward is committed.
Notice of the application must be served to the proposed Ward.
A proposed Ward is entitled to object to the application by writing to the Registrar of Wards of Court, usually, though not necessarily, through a solicitor.
A Ward who has dependants has a legal duty to maintain them and the Office of Wards of Court will make arrangements to provide for their maintenance and benefit according to their needs and the Ward's means.
Wards have the same requirement to submit income tax returns as other taxpayers but the return is signed by the Committee on behalf of the Ward, or by the Ward's accountant, if they employed one before being brought into Wardship. The principal tax reliefs are where exemption is granted by the Chief Inspector of Taxes under Section 189 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 and medical expenses.
After the President of the High Court has made an order bringing a person into Wardship they appoint a committee to act on behalf of the Ward and give directions to bring the Ward's assets under the control of the court and make them available for the maintenance and benefit of the Ward.
Where it is necessary to sell the Ward's home to provide for nursing home expenses or to prevent it from being vandalised, the Committee will be authorised by the court to put the property on the market.
Banks and building society accounts are usually closed and the proceeds lodged in court.
Property cannot be bought on behalf of a Ward as an investment because this does not at present constitute an Authorised Trustee Security.
A property may be bought on behalf of the Ward if they are able to reside in the community and have sufficient means and if the Ward does not have adequate or suitable accommodation.
If the Ward is in residential care and their dependants need to be housed, property can be bought in the name of the Ward for their benefit.
In former years, most Wards were patients in hospital or nursing homes. Today, many live in the community or in sheltered accommodation. If a Ward needs medical treatment for which a consent form is required by the hospital, the approval of the President of the High Court should be obtained. In emergency cases, it may not be possible to gain approval. In this case, normal medical considerations should apply.
A person who is a Ward because of mental incapacity cannot marry, although being taken into Wardship after marriage does not invalidate the marriage.
A Ward of Court may not leave Ireland without the consent of the President of the High Court. In practice, permission to leave the jurisdiction is normally granted, taking into account medical or safety considerations.
An application by a Ward to be discharged from Wardship must be made to the Registrar of Wards of Court in writing by the Ward or by a solicitor on their behalf. The application should be based on medical evidence to the effect that the Ward is now sound of mind and capable of managing their own affairs.
A Ward may make a will if:
When a Ward dies, after any debts have been paid and when a Grant of Probate or Administration has issued, the estate is distributed according to the Ward's will or under the rules of intestate succession.
Legal fees from a Wardship application are normally paid out of the Ward's estate. These costs include solicitor's fees, medical report fees and stamp duty. Court percentages (annual levy on Ward's income) are also payable. At present, the maximum rate of court percentages is €750 per annum. This maximum rate only applies if the Ward's net income in the proceeding tax year was €18,750 or more.
Contact your solicitor or the Office of Wards of Court.
More information is available in the Courts Service's booklet on the Office of Wards of Court (pdf).

Forex Signals - EUR/USD Hinging on North Korea?
Quick note on the website: I did some server upgrades this weekend so if anything is acting differently please let me know by submitting a help ticket. Also I've added various time periods to my charts so you can clearly see what timezone my charts are in (I get a lot of questions on that).
Daily Outlook: The rising trend (bottom blue line on chart) is still being respected - a bullish sign - as we just had double bullish candlesticks on the 1h charts: an inverted hammer at the 0:00 GMT hour and a hammer at the 1:00 GMT hour. See the candlestick alerts here for more details.
Technically the pair appears to be forming a lumpy head and shoulders reversal pattern in this short-term uptrend. The neckline of this formation is 1.2450 and a sustained break below this opens up 1.2400 and 1.2350 in the short-term. Meanwhile on the top-side a sustained break of 1.2630 could open up 1.2680 and 1.2750.
Fundamentally we have very, very little news tomorrow save for the USD existing home sales report at 15:00 GMT. See full forex calendar here for the details. But, with all the talk of Greece and the Eurozone we could see another country drive up the USD and continue the EUR/USD downtrend: North Korea. That's right, South Korea completed its investigation last week of their sunken naval vessel and concluded it was a North Korean torpedo that sunk it. They even went so far as to release a quote saying that North Korea was going to pay the price. As the war of words heats up we could see a flight to safety in the USD.
Trading Idea: My primary trade is to sell a sustained break below the 1.2440 (the neckline) with targets at 1.2410, 1.2385, 1.2355 and 1.2315 for 125 pips profit. A much more aggressive trade would be a long on a sustained break above 1.2620 (on the 4h) or 1.2630 (on the 1h) targeting up to 1.2750 for 130 pips. I would much prefer the short opportunity here as the long-term trend is still very bearish, and looking for opportunities to short in general is a decent strategy here.

The 2014 Advocacy drive is going well so far.
We have had a small number of VERY GENEROUS donors so far.
But unfortunately those generous members only represent 3% of the ISP membership.
That means 97% of ISP members have NOT donated to this advocacy event! ….Yes 97% non-participation.
I KNOW we can do better than that!
Members ….take this quiz….
Do you do clinical component billing?
Do you care about your income?
Are you concerned about current and future attacks on your income?
If you answered YES to ANY of these questions…you should immediately provide a donation to this years advocacy drive. It benefits YOU. Don't expect other pathologists to carry your obligation. Donate TODAY.

Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Thursday in connection with a reported rape in the New York City suburbs, police said.
Ramapo Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said the former New York Giants linebacker had not been formally charged, but that police were investigating a reported rape that occurred earlier Thursday at a hotel in Montebello.
Police said they would hold a news conference Thursday afternoon. They did not immediately respond to questions about the circumstances of the arrest and whether Taylor, 51, had a lawyer.
Multiple media outlets reported more details about the alleged victim. The New York Post and Journal News both said Thursday that the victim was a teenage girl under the control of a pimp. Both papers also reported that the girl was physically injured during the incident. Her exact age was reported as 16 by the Post and 15 by the Journal News .
"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," an authority told the Journal News . "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."
An attorney for Taylor, Kenneth Gribetz, said he expected Taylor to be arraigned later Thursday.
"We're confident his innocence will be proven,'' he said.
Taylor was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999 and competed in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" last year. He had a highly publicized struggle with drug addiction and has had multiple legal run-ins in retirement.
A quick, fierce and athletic linebacker who redefined his position, Taylor anchored the Giants' defense and led New York to Super Bowls titles in 1987 and 1991. He was selected to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.
A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1986 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986. He recorded 132.5 sacks, which doesn't included the 9.5 sacks in 1981 when the statistic wasn't official.
In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack.
In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program.
In 2000, he drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Count: Why the Art of the Mid-Range Jump Shot Should Be Lost
My print column this week explores how changes in the rules of popular games have changed the value of the underlying currency — whether that's points in Scrabble or in basketball.
76ers guard Andre Miller is hitting barely 40% of his two-point jump shots this year.
One example is worth noting in the days leading up to the NCAA Tournament. In men's college and pro basketball, players are hitting three-pointers with about the same ease as mid-range jump shots. This season, the three-point line was moved away from the basket by a foot to address this relative ease.

Drunk on Falu Röd
de James Roseler
Ediciones relacionadas
Ebook, formato iPad de Apple
Acerca del libro
A poky little log cabin in a Swedish forest outside a small town called Bollnas, three hours north of Stockholm. The cabin typically a Falu Rudfarg (red), dusted with snow and ice, overlooked a beautiful frozen lake. The cabin not set for winter living was quite cold and the fateful plumbing had already frozen over. A fire warmed the frigid (and virgin) canvas and a Merlot warmed the bitter cockles of the Australian Artist. This was the studio for James Roseler as he painted his "Swedish exhibition" (Drunk on Falu Red) over a 3 month stay in Scandinavia.
Nothing but a dense silence and space. A hush, and a peace, outside and In.
Water to clean brushes was bought up from a running spring 50 metres from the studio, and the wood for the fire (prepared years ago) was collected from an old timber hut behind the cabin. The Cabin had to be toasty so that the stubborn paint would dry, and the stubborn painter would not die.
In the end, the studio was full of 22 completed paintings, as well as body of drawings, that were exhibited at the Kulturkiosken gallery in August 2008.
All the paintings where painted on board that had been primed with the same Falu Rudfarg (red) paint that the cabin was coated in.

text: HOUSTON, Oct. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (Nasdaq:EROC) ("Eagle Rock" or the "Partnership") today declared a cash distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of $0.15 per common unit (including eligible restricted common units), equivalent to $0.60 per unit on an annualized basis. The distribution will be paid on Thursday, November 14, 2013 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on Thursday, November 7, 2013, and represents a decrease from the distribution of $0.22 per common unit paid with respect to the second quarter. The Partnership's operating and financial performance improved in the third quarter of 2013. Despite this, the Partnership continued to generate insufficient distributable cash flow to cover the $0.22 per unit distribution level. With the expectation that the challenges that have affected the Partnership over the last several quarters are likely to continue, the Board of Directors decided to lower the distribution to a level that stabilizes and begins to improve the Partnership's leverage ratio and liquidity position. Based on preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 (subject to the completion of the Partnership's quarter-end review), management expects to report Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $62.8 million, which would represent an increase of 12% over the second quarter 2013 amount. Management expects to report distribution coverage of approximately 1.05x for the third quarter of 2013, and expects that level to increase over the next several quarters. Management anticipates that the lower distribution level coupled with an anticipated growing distribution coverage over the next several quarters will allow the Partnership to redirect some of its cash from operations toward debt repayment in the near term, which will benefit the common unitholders in the form of greater equity value, and the Partnership in the form of greater liquidity and financial flexibility. All actual future distributions will be determined, declared and paid at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, management and the Board of Directors continue to explore alternatives to address the Partnership's leverage ratio and liquidity position, which may include asset sales or purchases, equity financings, the separation of its upstream and midstream businesses or other alternatives.

ALMOST everything in the tiny town of Poowong came to a standstill today as the community gathered to farewell four members of the same family killed in a fiery crash.
Almost everything.
The trucks in this busy South Gippsland farming area kept rumbling through town, oblivious to the quadruple funeral taking place.
It was a truck colliding with their car at nearby Catani on February 28 that killed Stephen and Jade Beckett and their children Ella, six, and William, two. Only nine-year old big brother Sam survived.
About 150 mourners gathered at the Poowong Hall today to farewell the four.
Some carried small reminders of the family's life together: a riding hat, a toy car. The Australian flag at the centre of town flew at half mast.
The music was poignant and included Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, Angels by Robbie Williams and Far Away by Nickleback.
And when the four coffins were taken out to four waiting hearses, it was a pink one for Ella with her riding hat on top, and a blue one blue for William with a favourite stuffed toy riding on top.
The family members were on their way to take Sam and Ella to Koo Wee Rup Primary School when the crash happened.
Sam was injured in the crash and rescued by local farmer Ken McLeod.
Truck driver Jobandeep Gill, of Noble Park, is facing a number of serious driving charges including four counts of culpable driving causing death.
Police say he failed to stop at a stop sign.

Jimmy Rollins boldly proclaimed the Phillies the team to beat in the National League East before the 2007 season.
Philadelphia made Rollins look prophetic by winning five straight division titles from 2007-11.
But the Phillies now have missed the playoffs two years in a row. They finished 73-89 this season and in fourth place in the East, 23 games behind the division-winning Atlanta Braves.
Can the Phillies quickly rebuild and again be the team to beat in the division?
"The team that we had in the past definitely was (the team to beat)," Rollins said after the Phillies' final home game on Sept. 22. "The team going forward, we'll figure that out. We have a bunch of new pieces, and we haven't had that around here for a long time. I'm excited about it."
In interviews during the final days of the season, the Phillies expressed optimism about the future despite the dismal 2012.
"I think we have a very nice core of veteran players to help lead the way," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "The bullpen has come a long way with the nice arms."
The bullpen could be a bright spot next year. The young players bring energy and athleticism to the team."
But there's no denying changes are needed.
"What we've been doing the past couple of years with the guys we got hasn't been working," pitcher Cliff Lee said.
Here is a look at the issues that confront the Phillies this offseason.
The manager and coaches: The Phillies answered one question when they named removed the interim tag from Sandberg and gave him a three-year contract with a club option for 2017.
Sandberg, who went 20-22 as a manger this season, communicated well with the players.
"He hasn't forgotten how difficult it can be to play this game," second baseman Chase Utley said. "There are times when the further you get away from the game, the easier it gets."
The Phillies began to remake their coaching staff Monday. The team announced that it did not renew the contract of pitching coach Rich Dubee.
"Rich was a big part of a wonderful era here and in his nine years he served our organization very well," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement. "We believe it is time for change as we move forward.
More coaching changes are likely.
The young players: Sandberg pointed to the development of the organization's young players as one of the season's positives.
Third baseman Cody Asche, 23, batted .235 in 50 games but excelled defensively. Cesar Hernandez, 23, played center field and hit .301 in September. Infielder Freddy Galvis, 23, hit six home runs in 205 at-bats.
Relievers B.J. Rosenberg, 28, Justin De Fratus, 25, and Jacob Diekman, 26, struggled during the season but pitched well in the final 50 games.
Outfielder Darin Ruf, 27, hit 14 home runs but struck out 91 times in 251 at-bats.
The young players must continue to develop, but Galvis, Hernandez and Ruf appear at this point to be role players who each should get 350-400 at-bats next season.
"We'll have a bunch of young guys with that energy to start the year," Rollins said. "This is their team."
Free agents: The Phillies must decide to whether to re-sign free agents catcher Carlos Ruiz and starting pitcher Roy Halladay. The Phillies have said they want Ruiz back. The 34-year-old batted .268 with five home runs and 31 RBIs after the All-Star break.
Halladay, 36, is a different matter. He underwent shoulder surgery in May and threw just 83 mph in his final start in September. His time in Philadelphia could be over.
Starting pitcher: It seems strange, considering that just two years ago the Phillies featured the Four Aces staff, but the team needs starters.
Lee and Cole Hamels will lead the rotation. Cuban right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez is unproven but should be in the starting rotation at the start of the season.
Then there are the question marks.
Do the Phillies want to bring back Kyle Kendrick? He finished the season on the disabled list and had a 6.91 ERA after the All-Star break?
Young starters such as Jonathan Pettibone haven't proved themselves yet.
To fill out the rotation, the Phillies might have to bring in some veteran pitchers to spring training on minor-league contracts and hope they get lucky.
"They key to winning is pitching," Lee said. "You can score as many runs as you want, but if you don't have the guys to keep the other team from scoring, you're going to lose a lot of games."
The biggest need: The Phillies haven't been the same since Jayson Werth took his right-handed power bat to the Washington Nationals after the 2010 season. The Phillies finished 13th in the 15-team NL in runs scored this season. They were No. 2 in 2010.
There are few marquee free agents this winter. The Phillies might have to pursue a trade for a player, such as Matt Kemp off the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The core: The Phillies remain committed to Rollins, 34, Utley, 34, and Ryan Howard, 33.
The Phillies need all three to be healthy in 2014. Howard is a big question. He didn't play after July 5 because of knee surgery, and he's played in a combined 151 games the past two seasons.
"To have Ryan back would be very big," Rollins said. "A healthy Ryan on his legs we know what he can do.
But even though they remain Philadelphia mainstays, Rollins, Howard and Utley now also serve as transitional figures while the club waits for its younger players to develop.
"They're big-eyed with a lot of hopes and wishes," Rollins said of the young players. "It's fun seeing that energy every day. The world is still there's. They can change it. I was that guy. Now it's up to me and Chase and (Howard) to make sure they do change it."

After a dockside hula greeting, Kamehameha Schools chaplain Kahu Kordell Kekoa blessed the Norwegian Cruise Line ship and the crew, 40% of whom were recruited in Hawaii.
"This will be a great connection between Hawaii and the rest of America," Kekoa said.
Passengers were already feeling the connection and gave the first new U.S.-flagged cruise ship in nearly 50 years rave reviews after the five-day voyage from San Francisco.
"We thought five days at sea would be boring, but it's been anything but," said Jeanne Tweedy, 55, of Colorado Springs "There's absolutely nothing we could want for."
"The service has been super and the staff are just wonderful," added her sister, Kathy Cleary, 54 also of Colorado Springs.
The women also had high praise for Capt. Kjell Nesheim, who has experience cruising the islands aboard the NCL's Pride of Aloha, which began interisland cruises a year ago.
"The way he parallel parked this puppy was incredible," Tweedy said.
The Pride of America is one of two ships from the failed "Project America" program that Norwegian purchased after the U.S. cruise ship company American Classic Voyages declared bankruptcy in 2001. The ship, along with the Pride of Hawaii, were completed in Germany.
When the Pride of Hawaii is delivered in May 2006, "we'll be bringing almost 8,000 passengers per week here to Hawaii," Robert Kritzman, NCL executive vice president and managing director for Hawaii.
Sales have been strong through the end of the year and bookings already are being made well into next year in response to an East Coast marketing campaign, Kritzman said.
"That's a sign of the strength of Hawaii's tourism right now," he said.
Legislation in the 2003 federal appropriations bill allows Norwegian to sail the two ships, as well as the Pride of Aloha, under a U.S. flag with an American crew.
Walking through sections of the 920-foot Pride of America is like going back in time, or at least jumping through several time zones. Each room or public area has a theme, with such attention paid to detail and decor that the atmosphere and ambiance change just by stepping through the door.
For example, in just one section of Deck 6 is the Lazy J Texas Steakhouse, complete with cactus plants and decorative saddles, the Cadillac Diner, an airy replica of a 1950s diner, and the Napa Wine Bar, which features rough stone and wood decor and a choice of more than 100 types of wine.
One deck below is the spacious Skyline Restaurant, which seats 644. Each support column is fashioned as a big city skyscraper in sparkling silver and is lit from inside to give each window a glow.
The top decks offer a full range of activities and amenities, from spas, hot tubs and swimming pools to sports courts and a golf driving range. There is also a card room, the library or the Newbury Street Shops, inspired by early 1990s New England shopping avenues.
The Soho Art Gallery is the largest floating gallery in the world and boasts nearly 1,000 pieces of original art for sale.
Each night, Hawaii and mainland entertainers present a variety of shows from comedy to classical piano concerts to Tahitian dance in the Hollywood Theater, where guests enter along a red carpet lined by a mural of paparazzi happily snapping photos. Inside giant golden Oscar replicas ring the 868-seat auditorium.
Junior receptionist Nathan Ursua of Mililani served as a stateroom steward aboard Pride of Aloha through its growing pains in the last year, during which passengers complained about service.
"A year ago I was still green about the cruise industry, but now we have a great team," he said. "You have to be born with the spirit of aloha, but you don't have to be born in Hawaii. If you have it, it just comes shining through."
Kritzman said an expanded recruiting and training program has helped solidify a strong crew.
"The staff is doing great. They seem ecstatic," he said. "Feedback from the passengers has been very good. We're very happy."
The ship was christened June 17 in New York and has made its way to Hawaii via Miami and the Panama Canal.
It has 660 balcony staterooms, eight restaurants and three swimming pools, as well as a range of children's activities and meeting facilities.
Once all three ships are operating, NCL expects direct spending — including staff wages and passenger spending — to exceed $500 million.
Regular weekly interisland cruises begin Saturday from Honolulu.

text: Constitutionally protected super funds Members may be assessed for superannuation contributions surcharge for the financial years 1997-2005. If the members are assessed, we keep a surcharge debt account for each member which records the amount of surcharge assessed for the 1997-2005 financial years, and any voluntary payments the member has made. We also calculate and add interest to the outstanding balance of these surcharge debt accounts on 30 June each year using the 10-year Treasury bond rate. You can see these rates under 'Other super rates and thresholds' in Key superannuation rates and thresholds. Interest ensures that the value of the accumulated surcharge debt is maintained over time. The member's final liability is calculated after the fund lodges the Superannuation member exit statement for constitutionally protected funds (MES) The final liability is the lesser of the: balance of the surcharge debt account we hold employer financed component amount. Members of constitutionally protected funds do not need to pay their surcharge liability until their super benefit is payable. This happens when either: the member receives a lump sum, or begins receiving a pension or annuity the member transfers contributions a payment to a non-member spouse occurs due to marriage breakdown a benefit payment is made upon a member's death the super fund ceases to be a constitutionally protected super fund. We will send the final liability notice to the member. The member must pay us the final liability amount within three months of the date of issue of the notice. If the amount is transferred to another super provider, the new fund can be directed by the member to pay all or part of the liability on the member's behalf. Fund members may make voluntary payments to reduce their surcharge debt accounts. However, we recommend that your members seek professional financial advice before they make any voluntary payments.

Basic elements of telecommunication system refers to the basic fundamentals devices and modes which are used for the proper working of the communication network through sender to receiver with the perfect medium in it ,without any problem in the channel
Basically, a telecommunicationsystem includes the transmission or communicationof information from sender to receiver. Basically the telecommunication system consists of three primary units that are always present in any form in the communication system:
A transmitter, generally at the information sending station that takes information and converts it to a signal to send it to receiver, i.e. this is a device that collects information from the sender and transforms it into a signal for sending it.
Atransmissionmedium, for the mode of propagation, also called the physical channel it carries the signal from transmitter to the receiver, i.e. transmission media is the device that carries the signal and delivers it to the receiver.
A receiver, generally at the receiving end, it is used to accept the signal and convert that signal into the information which was actually send through that signal.
For example, At radio broadcasting station the station has large power amplifier which are worked as the transmitter; and broadcasting antenna at station is an intermediate between the amplifier and the free space channel. The free space channel which is the transmission medium; and the receiver's antenna is the interface between the free space channel and the receiver. And the radio receiver is the destination of the radio signal, and here it is converted from electricity to sound for people to listen to. Generally telecommunication system are duplex, but if they are systems are " full duplex" with a single box of electronics working as both a transmitter and a receiver, or a transceiver. For example, a cellular telephone is also a transceiver. The transmission and the receiver electronics in a transceiver are really independent of each other. But, transceivers have to be designed very carefully and built to isolate the high-power and low-power circuitry from each other.
The telecommunications industry is one of the world's most complexes technology and some systems- compatible, some not-that make efficient transmissions of voice and data around the world. Just it is impossible to fully understand the technical technologies that abound in the telecommunications industry without a solid knowledge base. Equally as difficult as to understand how these technologies work with data centric communication.
The Basics of Telecommunications provides the foundation for future reference on which all future understanding of the industries based work will be built.
In precise words, The Basics of Telecommunications offers a concise yet rich definition of the key technologies and systems that comprise the real backbone of telecommunications worldwide.
