In my entire life, I never understood Underwood Creek. In Hillsbourgh, North Carolina, if you mention the name to adults, they bulge their eyes and awkwardly stare at you. They immediately change the topic of conversation with something like: "Hey, the weather is good today, isn't it?" And if you insist, they get mad. And I'm not talking about getting annoyed, but really mad, to the point of raising their voices and telling you to shut your mouth.
Obviously, we, pre-teenagers, refused to remain ignorant of this matter.
My innermost circle of friends and I loved to openly talk about Underwood Creek, to theorise about what either happened, is happening, or is at that location. We just needed to know, because if even an adult considered talking about it taboo, there was a desire to discover what was so disturbing about that place.
One Friday, my friends and I had arranged to meet at my house and visit the Creek. I was checking my e-mails when I casually mentioned it to my mother, who was cleaning a delicate vase which she absolutely loved. It had been given to her by my father when they became boyfriend and girlfriend, and considering my father could barely afford something like that at that time, she obviously had a thing for that porcelain vase.
As I checked my inbox, my mother, cleaning the object, casually asked me where we were going tonight. Unconsciously I mumbled, "Underwood Creek."
She dropped the porcelain piece and went alabaster pale. Her blue eyes went glassy and she slowly said, so firmly I myself got scared when she spoke, "You go to your fucking room right now. You're grounded. For a month."
This was obviously not the time to bitch. Shocked with her actions, I obeyed like a pup. If she had shattered the vase by dropping it, she could easily stab me if I argued. I closed my computer, got out of the living room, and ran to my bedroom, locking the door after myself.
I heard my mom calling someone on the phone and crying and sobbing while she spoke into it. I resumed checking my inbox and got notices from my friends: all of their parents had discovered what we were going to do and they had grounded their kids, too.
Needless to say, this only fed our flaming curiosity, because one month later, Saturday morning, we secretly escaped the prison of our houses and got together at the entrance to the little path that would take us to the Creek; just a pathway made from a few stone slabs here and there.
As teenagers, this was a time of enthusiasm and euphoria. Lined up, the six of us chatted while we grinned and imagined what the Creek would surprise us with. The closer we got, the faster we walked. Enthusiasm shook within us, and our chat diminished, eventually disappearing and leaving silence.
Finally, after almost half an hour of boring walking, we arrived at a small fence gate.
Our problems started before we came to the Creek.
For some reason, the gate had a keyhole. From within it leaked a black, viscous slime.
Although I lead the group, I didn't notice it at first; then I gasped and took a step back.
Like a mirage, as soon as I stepped back, the goo immediately dissapeared, leaving not a trace. Inexplicably, I laughed. It was not a grin, but an aching, breath-taking laugh that neared mania.
I turned on my heels, presumably to make a joke but, strangely and to my surprise, it came out as another burst of laughter.
All of my friends were sprinting back the path, screaming. In the middle of psychotic laughter, I shouted, "Hey pussies! Come back! We didn't even go in!"
I watched, still feeling that funny sensation. I stopped laughing, but a smile remained plastered across my face. I immediately kicked the gate and went in, closing it after myself.
I continued walking, under that enchantment. I imagined it was like being stoned with mystical, esoteric herbs. I arrived at the Creek. It was an uninteresting place; just a straight, shallow river and some mossy trees that arched above the water, making a leafy, branched roof. Perhaps that was the "Underwood."
Suddenly, like a veil being lifted, that funny enchantment was gone. It was replaced by what felt like a toxic gas, a nausea and a disorientation.
The place didn't seem uninteresting anymore. The river flowed slowly, the trees were uncomfortably menacing. It almost seemed like they were too close. The space was like a tight, claustrophobic room, full of asphyxiating smoke. Ready to suffocate me in this damp, doomed place.
The sun barely shined behind the warped, contorted branches above. I was petrified, held there by the same spell that brought me here to begin with.
Fear filled me, like a hand gripping my heart, slick fingers around my throat. I really needed to go now, but somehow I stupidly stumbled forward into the river and looked down to my feet.
The river wasn't water. It was filled with the black, slimy liquid that I saw on the gate. It flowed sluggishly around my shoes, like a long black snake.
And then I looked up to the other side of the river.
Standing about ten feet away from me was a woman, completely covered in black save her hands, which were covered in scales. Her face, thank God, was covered in dark cloaking, but I knew that she was looking at me with eyes that I did not dare picture.
With her reptilian hands, she slowly pulled her clothing away from her front, revealing her bosom. My stomach curled, my head spun, and the black "water" below mixed with my vomit.
Her stomach was open, revealing not entrails, but something that was plucked right from the core of a nightmare.
Vermin skittered inside her, falling out of and crawling in her interior.
I fell down, covering my trousers and hands with dark, filthy liquid, but I managed to scream and run. My legs felt as heavy as iron, but I stumbled towards the gate. I didn't look back; not only because of what I had seen, but because I heard the long, raspy, cold cackle of whatever I encountered in the Creek.
I ran before my mind had been completely shattered.
For the rest of my life I have denied, refused and ignored any conversation on that place, altough I have never told anyone of my visit.
I have never contacted the friends I had brought there with me, but I know they too never dared to mention that place, just as all the other adults never mention it.

Rob Gronkowski says he is teammate Chandler Jones' MMA trainer
Rob Gronkowski was in New York City over the weekend where TMZ inevitably caught up with him to discuss his latest exploits.
The cameraman asked the Patriots tight end if he ended up going out with the South Florida reporter he seemed to hit it off with in an interview last week, but Gronkowski said he was busy training teammate Chandler Jones for a potential MMA match against his brother Jon 'Bones' Jones.
• Kobe Bryant compares himself to Mozart
Chandler Jones has said he would like to face off against his brother, who is the current UFC light heavyweight champion, in a one round charity match, if the Patriots will allow it, of course.
Gronkowski also adds that he would be open to a new type of competition himself, saying he would be willing to be on the popular Dancing With The Stars show.

Friday evening I was cruising north on 880 with my sights on Newark's Little Sichuan. But alas, traffic slowed down to a crawl in south Fremont. Instead, I exited at Auto Mall Pkwy to return to Shao Mountain, where we had an outstanding chowdown in February. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/890830
Located across the road from Costco, this section of the mall features a number of Chinese restaurants, including Asian Pearl. At 8pm the parking lot was so full, I had to stalk some people walking back to their car to snag a space. And Shao Mountain had more than 20 people milling around in front waiting for tables, mostly young families and Chinese ex-pat hipsters. None of the other eating spots along this strip had any lines. I asked the black-clad host how long for a table for one. He motioned to the four uncleared tables outside and said I could sit immediately outdoors. On a warmer than typical evening next to a space heater, this was quite comfortable. I did have to put up with other patrons' rear ends hanging over my table and worrying if my tea pot was going crash on the pavement at the next jostle.
Don't remember who told me this, but someone once advised me that I could order Sichuan dishes at Hunan restaurants with some confidence, saying the chefs would know how to make the classic preparations of their neighboring region. So I tested this theory by starting my mapo doufu November dish of the month trials here. I ordered two dishes, plus a bowl of steamed rice:
Fried tea-flavored shrimp, $12.99 – Medium-large shrimp in the shell, split down the back, dry sauteed with a blizzard of dry tea leaves (and sticks). I couldn't tell if these were Hunan's famous Shaoshan (Shao Mountain) tea or not. The shrimp shells were paper-thin and crisp, easy to bite and chew if you're inclined to eat the whole thing. The firm shrimp were cooked enough that they separated from the shell, coming off easily with a tug. The tea added a subtle fragrance and flavor, alongside bits of garlic, scallions, and sweet red pepper.
Mapo tofu, $8.99 – On the illustrated menu, this dish is sort of tucked away as an afterthought with just one line and no photo, making me wonder how much love it would get from the kitchen. When the waiter plopped my order down, the citrusy scent of hua jiao wafting from the dish told me I needn't worry. Precisely cut cubes of tofu looked firm but turned out to be wonderfully creamy in texture. Medium hot spice level, the taste of the dried chiles was more toward the wet heat of Hunan than the smoky spice of Sichuan. Whole pieces of fermented brown bean rather than black beans, and the less salty base chili-bean paste tasted like the kitchen's own concoction rather than a jarred Pixian-made condiment. Gently cooked ground pork was separate and not clumped together and seemed almost juicy and soft rather than gritty and crisp. While the scent of hua jiao signaled its presence, the impact on the palate was restrained with only minor numbing effect. Chopped scallions took the place of leeks. The seasoning included plenty of fresh garlic and ginger, yet these elements were very harmonious and integrated into the overall flavor of the dish. A little different flavor than would be found at a Sichuan restaurant, but equally addictive.
This was my second time at Shao Mountain. It's worthy of a detour to try the Hunan cooking and dishes not found elsewhere in the area.

Nick Fairley on Lions' defense: 'We can be the best ever'
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley said the team's defense can be the best in league history, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Lions held the Minnesota Vikings to three points during their victory on Sunday, while recording 8.0 sacks and three interceptions. Detroit's defense leads the league in yards allowed per game (270.7), scoring defense (13.7) and sacks (20.0).
Fairley, the team's first-round pick in 2013, said the team hasn't reached its potential yet on defense. From Birkett:
"We can be great," Fairley said as reporters gathered around his locker after the game. "We can be great, but we're not there yet."
"Great," Fairley said. "We can be the best ever, in my eyes."
• KING: Is this for real, Cleveland?
Fairley has one sack and 12 combined tackles this season. George Johnson leads the Lions with 4.0 sacks, while Ezekiel Ansah and Ndamukong Suh have 3.5 and 3.0 sacks, respectively.
Detroit beat the Vikings despite playing without wide receiver Calvin Johnson and running back Reggie Bush, who each have ankle injuries.
The Lions have started the season 4-2 and are in first place in the NFC North. They host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at 1 p.m.

LUBBOCK, Texas - The College Baseball Foundation released the list of 20 players remaining in the hunt for the 2007 Brooks Wallace College Player of the Year Award, and the University of San Diego's sophomore left-hander Brian Matusz highlights the quarterfinalists. The list is comprised of players from 17 schools in 10 conferences.
Matusz finished the season with an overall record of 10-3 and an ERA of 2.85. Matusz set a new single-season strikeout record of 163. The Cave Creek, Ariz., native also placed himself second in single-game strikeouts with a career-high 13, a feet he has achieved three times this past season. Matusz is also a member of Team USA and was an All-WCC first-team honoree.
The Wallace Award is presented annually to the nation's top collegiate baseball player and will be televised nationally by Fox College Sports. This award is the only to encompass the first pitch of the college season to the final out in Omaha. Past winners include Kurt Suzuki of Cal State Fullerton in 2004, Alex Gordon of Nebraska in 2005 and pitcher/designated hitter Brad Lincoln of Houston in 2006.
The 2007 Wallace Award Banquet will be held Tuesday, July 3, at 7 p.m. in the United Spirit Arena on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Information regarding the sale of individual tickets, as well as group and corporate tables, is available by calling (806) 777 - 8277, or by e-mailing email@example.com.
"This is an amazing collection of talent and character," said Raymond Richardson, Chairman of the 2007 Brooks Wallace Award Committee. "The excitement is building as we progress towards the week of festivities surrounding the Wallace Award presentation and the College Baseball Hall of Fame Induction."
The selection committee will reduce the list to ten semifinalists following NCAA Regional play this weekend. The three finalists will be announced during the College World Series.
The three finalists will be accompanied by their parents and head coaches to participate in activities with the 2007 Hall of Fame Inductees as part of the Wallace Award and Hall of Fame festivities in Lubbock. The winner will be permanently recognized in the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Wallace Award is a dedication to the memory of the former Texas Tech player and assistant coach Brooks Wallace. Wallace was a slick-fielding shortstop at Texas Tech from 1977 to 1980. A four-year starter, he was named All-Southwest Conference and All-District his senior year. He led the Red Raiders to their first-ever appearance in the Southwest Conference Tournament in 1980. After playing two years in the Texas Rangers organization, he returned to Texas Tech and served as a graduate assistant and later as an assistant coach. In the summer of 1984, he was diagnosed with cancer and fought the disease courageously until his death on March 24, 1985, at age 27. The Plano, Texas, native was married to the former Sandy Arnold and they had one daughter, Lindsay Ryan.

Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine Sued for Blocking Critics on Social Media
Mayor Philip Levine's official social media accounts are subject to public records laws, a new suit argues.
Photo by George Martinez
When Grant Stern sent a critical tweet at Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine over the summer, the politician quickly blocked the local activist. So Stern took his comments to the mayor's official Facebook page and was swiftly blocked there too. Soon, he says, he heard from dozens of others who said the mayor had deleted their comments and blocked their accounts after they questioned or criticized him online.
Stern filed a public records request for the names of everyone blocked by the mayor on social media, but the city denied it. Now he's taking his battle to court.
In a lawsuit filed Monday, Stern argues that Levine, as "a 21st-century mayor," uses his social media accounts to communicate official city business, thus making his accounts subject to the Florida Sunshine Law, which requires certain proceedings of government agencies to be available to the public.
"I want to find out the total number of people that he's silenced and expose him as someone practicing extensive official censorship," Stern tells New Times. "I want to expose his official censorship for what it really is. It's lawless activity."
A spokeswoman for Levine referred questions to Deputy City Attorney Aleksandr Boksner. He says the city has not yet been served with the suit but does not comment on pending litigation.
Stern says he believes the online "censorship" is part of a larger lack of governmental transparency in Miami Beach. He pointed to officials' decision to keep secret the locations where Zika-carrying mosquitoes were found. (Levine and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez told the Miami Herald they were following instructions from the state Department of Health, a claim the department denied.) He also cites the city's admission it overcharged the Herald for records on water quality.
In addition, the lawsuit seeks audio recordings from a show Levine hosts on SiriusXM called The Mayor. The show is available to SiriusXM subscribers, but Stern argues its content should be available for free because Levine discusses city matters, including the spread of the Zika virus. Stern wants to review copies of any contracts related to the show as well.
On Facebook and Twitter, many of the deleted comments dealt with Zika or sewage in Biscayne Bay, Stern says. Members of anti-naled groups on Facebook have complained for weeks about their comments being removed from the mayor's page.

Stern says some comments were critical; others were simply questions.
"Mayor Levine is using censorship to wrongly inform public opinion about the most important issues that affect Miami Beach residents and visitors," he says. "And I want that to end. I want him to cease censorship. If he can't say what he wants to say without a response, then maybe what he is saying is not true. Maybe it's false... If you censor those who disagree, then it creates the appearance of agreement."
Stern says he hopes his lawsuit helps ensure that social media accounts run by government entities "are forever known as public records, without any question."

The Golden State Warriors collapsed against the Memphis Grizzlies, losing 128-119 after they owned a 24-point second-half lead. It was a game that featured the Stephen Curry fans have been waiting for (40 points on 27 shots), up until its waning moments, when he and the Warriors went frigid. As happened in the Christmas Day game against Cleveland, Golden State's awkward crunch-time offense foiled them.
"Our fourth-quarter offense has been atrocious," Draymond Green glumly appraised of the general trend. He said of Friday's meltdown, "I can really care less. I'm actually happy we lost today, because there are some things that we need to correct in order to win a championship."

text: I am a physician. I celebrate medicine. Becoming a doctor took up all of my time, my 20's. It took away ever feeling rested and of-course my social life. It took a lot of sacrifice, focus, responsibility, accountability. It took 11 years. There were moments when I wanted to quit. It was difficult. Now that I'm nearing the end of my residency, I am starting to see things differently. Despite having gone through the roughness of medical training, I really truly enjoy the art of medicine and patient care. Being a doctor is not a job, it's a lifestyle. Medicine is not a field, it's an animal with a very complicated, always interesting, and fragile personality that I am friends with forever. I am happy that I chose this path.

2016 Thoroughbred Makeover Attracts Top Trainers
- Feb 19, 2016
- Topics:
The Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) has released a list of 480 trainers from 45 states, three Canadian provinces, and England who will acquire and train a recently retired racehorse for the 2016 $100,000 Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium.
All ten of the discipline winners from last year's makeover will return to defend their titles, along with 73 other makeover alumni, on new horses.
Among the entries is a large contingent of professionals from the top ranks of their respective sports. It includes 15 event riders who have competed at the advanced level, four Grand Prix dressage riders, and four Grand Prix show jumpers. The field hunter division features two past winners of the North American Field Hunter Championships, and among show hunters are 10 who have trained winners at the country's top A-circuit shows.
Further, 20-time World Champion barrel racer Lance Graves will take on a Thoroughbred for the makeover, and the working ranch division mixes lifelong ranch hands with a half-dozen show and rodeo veterans with World Champion belt buckles.
At least six of the polo trainers make their livings training and selling to the world's top players, and the competitive trail division features a mix of endurance riders, Extreme Cowboy Race veterans, and all manner of trail and obstacle class winners. The freestyle division features Mustang Makeover alumni, Road to the Horse trainers, a National Cavalry Champion in mounted pistols and saber, an American Quarter Horse Association World Champion driver, and the entertainment director of Arabian Nights Theater.
"Reading through the applications of these 480 trainers was like opening Christmas presents," said RRP President Steuart Pittman. "We believe that a key to restoring demand for these horses is matching some of them with the best trainers. Doing so not only increases their chances of winning, but it inspires those trainers' clients and fans.
"With the carrot of $100,000 in prize money, lots of promotion, and a buzz among the horse industry too loud to ignore, we have done what we set out to do," Pittman continued. "We have recruited trainers who are looked up to in their sports, many of whom have barns full of Warmbloods and Quarter Horses. Many grew up on Thoroughbreds and feel like this is coming home. Others are trying something completely new."
Lindsey Partridge won competitive trails and the overall title of America's Most Wanted Thoroughbred last year with her grey mare Soar. When asked how she felt about the flood of top trainers coming to challenge her title, she said, "I think it's fantastic! It means more Thoroughbreds are going to be rehomed and showcased to their full potential."

- Trainer highlights by discipline;
- A searchable and sortable list of trainers;
- A video presentation on the 2016 Thoroughbred Makeover trainers;
- Makeover horse profiles; and
- Thoroughbred Makeover rules and information.
The Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium will take place Oct. 27-30 at the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington. It will include the Thoroughbred Makeover competition as well as educational seminars and demonstrations, a trade fair, and the Makeover Horse Sale (an opportunity for buyers to evaluate horses from the makeover that are available for purchase).

Здравствуйте, мои русские друзья!
The "Putin for President" thing started out as a complete joke, like "Pogo for President" or "Pat Paulsen for President." (I guess having a name beginning with "P" helps.) But unlike the others, there's an actual underlying plausibility to a Vladimir Putin presidency. After all, he is a president already, and a damned effective one as near as I can tell. And, seriously, we haven't had a president with a résumé anything like as good as his since George Bush Sr. Putin is also, in contrast to Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, a definite grownup. The fact that Putin spent much of his life as a nominal communist is getting less and less important, considering Obama's effective ideology. (Yes, I realize that Obama doesn't actually have an ideology any more than Caligula or Al Capone did, but his handlers, now, they're hard-core Marxists of the big-shot capitalist variety.)
When I came across the graphic above over at Gates of Vienna, I got to thinking that maybe the joke element is receding a bit and there's an edge of seriousness developing. Take a look at the prospects for the next election. You want Vlad or Hillary? See what I mean? And, as for the Republicans, there's a lot of talk about Rand Paul, who has a lot of good points but sure as hell doesn't look tough. And the same is true of Ted Cruz, who also has a citizenship problem reminiscent of Obama's. If I had to put money down right now, I'd expect it to be Jeb Bush, and the country, nay, the world, has had all the Bushes it needs for a century or so.
|Этот плакат переводится на русский ЗДЕСЬ.
So here's my attempt at a campaign poster for Vlad. I replaced my own weak attempt at a caricature with an actual photo to make it look more serious, and his good points listed are serious. Taking them one by one, all our recent presidents and all their likely successors are completely uninterested in guarding our border. And they have little interest in protecting Americans abroad, and would much prefer to protect foreigners. Many of them are quite "tolerant" about all the Heather Has Two Mommies business. Putin jails people like Marc Rich instead of pardoning them. And, of course, the big debate right now is what is best for Syria and Israel and every other country except ours. So Vlad is looking better and better. Do send in suggestions for hius other good points.
And I received just such a suggestion, that led me to revise the poster, here:

All so.

The latest in the Black Label series of LG phones, the BL40 Chocolate, has been seen in the wild...as has a strange partner phone.
LG's new Chocolate mobile phone, the latest in the Black Label series of handsets with the startlingly large format screen, has been seen in the wild for the first time, specifically via a German forum. Of all the images that have been released on the new design, one has appeared that features an additional phone that is rather smaller than the BL40. Unknown, at the moment, it is possible that it is another Black Label design. If so, we might best brace ourselves for a whole series of Black Label handsets, according to the Engadget website.
In addition to the already released specification of the BL40, such as the large screen and 5-megapixel camera, the new Chocolate will also include Wi-Fi, a FM radio and 335MB of internal memory along with a microSD card to expand the internal RAM.

The watch is on after shares this morning briefly crossed that milestone marker, setting a new high for Apple. Although the company's market value is up more than 46% so far in 2012, several analysts say they still expect it to grow with the apparent enthusiasm for the new iPad — which goes on sale tomorrow. At least five analysts have raised their forecasts this week; about 52 rate the stock a "buy," while three rate it a "hold," and two consider it a "sell." Meanwhile, gadget reviewers generally applauded the new iPad which boasts a sharper screen, 4G connectivity, an improved camera, and a microphone to handle voice commands — although some say the improvements aren't sufficient for iPad 2 owners to upgrade. "If you're a tablet newbie, there's no better choice on the market than an iPad, provided — and this is a pretty big if — price isn't an issue and you don't want a tablet that would fit in your pocket, such as the $199 Amazon Kindle Fire," USA Today's Ed Baig says. (The cheapest new iPad, with 16 gb of memory and no 4G, costs $499.) Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg says that since 2010 "iPad has been the best tablet on the planet" and with the updates "it still holds that crown." And web site CNET observes that Apple "has not made its billions by disappointing customers. Odds are, you're going to like this thing."
Will iPad-mania Push Apple Over $600?
3 Comments
I think it's inspiring that the largest company in the world (in Market cap) is a high tech company and not some God-awful oil company or Walmart.
Just got a kindle fire. I can handle saving $300 and still being able to do a lot of cool stuff.
By 2017, Apple stock will hit $1,000 a share!

MoneyWiz 2
Take control of your wonga with this clever finance app
Personal finance apps haven't changed much over the years, but MoneyWiz has done its best to inject some new life into this not exactly inspiring market. You can update your finances from both desktop and mobile (via a separately purchased iOS app). For example, unlike other solutions, SilverWiz's proprietary SyncBits technology swiftly syncs data between mobile and desktop via the cloud.
MoneyWiz 2 takes innovation one step further, allowing you to download transactions from over 2,000 online banking institutions (including most big UK banks) into MoneyWiz, saving you the hassle of entering them yourself. You'll have to pay for the privilege, though – £3.99 a month (or £39.99 a year).
Free trial?
The tool had an inauspicious start, with widespread issues reported early on, but while most have been resolved with this release, we suggest hanging fire until a mooted free trial appears. In truth, we're not massive fans of the automatic approach anyway – it's often a few days before transactions show up, meaning you're not always looking at the latest picture.
MoneyWiz 2 debuts a fresh, Yosemite-inspired design, and includes many welcome new features and improvements, including support for loan accounts, the ability to group accounts together and support for creating local backups of your files.
The facelift doesn't mess with what worked before, which means it remains an easily navigable twopaned interface, split into five logical sections. Most of your time will be spent in the default Accounts screen where you can input and review transactions. It works fine on the iPad, but feels too simplistic on the Mac, where you can switch to a more detailed and traditional spreadsheet layout.
Set up your outgoings and incomings in a Scheduled section,
The forecasting tool allows you to project your finances and also, hopefully, drive more savings into your account
then navigate to Budgets where you can curb spending by allotting specific amounts to certain transactions. Budgets are simple to set up and monitor – you get alerted if you go over – and offer a way of reining in spending on, say, DVDs and other, er, essentials.
MoneyWiz offers a range of charts and tools to help you analyse where your money's going. The forecasting tool allows you to project your finances, plan for events and hopefully increase savings. Switching from other packages is easy too, thanks to comprehensive support for a wide range of formats.
Despite its teething problems, MoneyWiz 2 remains a great choice if you're looking to move from the red into the black. Nick Peers
MoneyWiz 2 remains an effective and user-friendly tool to manage your finances and help make savings.
MoneyWiz 2's default transactions view belies the tools and features lurking beneath the surface.

Informal Training & Mentoring
(based on 14 ratings in 2016)
"Varies from supervisor to supervisor. I have had a mix of very good supervisors (three out of four seats), with one supervisor being not so good. Generally speaking, within the wider population of the firm, associates and partners are supportive and approachable. If you do good work, you do get recognised and thanked for it."Second year trainee, Leeds
"Everyone has been very approachable and happy to provide detailed, constructive feedback when requested."First year trainee, London
"Members of the team are accessible and willing to speak with trainees. Supervisors and mentors are laid back and approachable. They also receive training on their role. Team members are very good at recognising trainees' contributions to cases."First year trainee, Leeds
"I think the supervisors that trainees have are very accessible. I have a catch up with mine every week to check on my progress and if there's anything I'm unhappy about. You also have a mentor who is with you throughout your two years. Again, they are happy to talk to you about anything, whether work-related or just grievances in general. We also have a 'trainee buddy' who is someone you can ask questions of and get advice from when you first start. While this is a great level of support, it often leads to having many different meetings on the same topics with lots of different people. Praise and recognition: I've received some good feedback on work. If you seek feedback, you will usually get it."First year trainee, Leeds
"Trainee supervisors are normally very good, ensuring you're not over-burdened and giving regular feedback. Trainees also have an associate mentor who isn't in their team to give a fresh pair of ears. Future trainees are also given a 'trainee buddy' when they are offered a training contract, who will often be an associate by the time the training contract begins and then will be given a current-trainee buddy when they arrive. It's on the trainee to utilise these relationships but people are always happy to go for a coffee and have a chat."Second year trainee, London
"Almost everyone wants to help you. Feedback is always given in a way that will allow you to learn and develop. If you do good work, people will say so."Second year trainee, Manchester
"It is there if needed but I have not made the most of this support to be honest. I am not often told how well I have done on particular pieces of work at the time, but end-of-seat reviews are usually quite comprehensive."Second year trainee, London
"I find that partners and solicitors are all accessible, and there are a few mentors who have really stood out for me. There are detailed three- and six-month feedback sessions, and regular catch ups with supervisors for informal feedback. Everyone is appreciative of the work that you do, and recognition is given for work completed."Second year trainee, London
"From experience in my department solicitors and partners are excellent at this. It is very helpful as the feedback is constructive and contributes to continued improvement."First year trainee, Manchester
"I think that everyone is very accessible, and partners and senior fee earners act as good mentors."Second year trainee, London
"All solicitors and partners will provide feedback and are happy to give advice at any time. Each trainee also has a mentor for the period of their training contract to meet with on a regular basis."First year trainee, Leeds
"I have found that you are always encouraged to get in touch if you have a question, and even if mentors are not in the office, I feel that you can phone them!"First year trainee, Manchester
"I work in a room with a NQ, partner and MA, and because we are mixed together all levels of solicitors are available, and everyone who I have encountered has been happy to spend time with me."First year trainee, Leeds
"You can get feedback and mentoring, but I find that you need to ask for it, and potentially chase it. It is very dependent on the individual solicitor and partner."First year trainee, London
"I have a trainee buddy, an associate buddy and the supervisors are great as well."First year trainee, Leeds
"Partners and solicitors are very accessible so it is easy to get a bit of advice when needed."Second year trainee, Manchester
"Addleshaw Goddard have an 'open-door' policy. During my training contract I sat have shared offices with partners and have always found them to be approachable and great mentors. They really seem to care about my development as an individual."Second year trainee, Leeds

AS a young Toyota manager in Japan in the mid-70's, Fujio Cho was assigned to learn the Toyota Production System, which stresses efficient manufacturing methods, from its intimidating creator, Taichi Ohno. One day, Mr. Cho demonstrated to Dr. Ohno how he had shrunk inventories sharply, accomplishing what Mr. Cho had been taught was one of the system's primary tenets.
To his shock, Dr. Ohno was furious. ''Are you stupid?'' he raged. Japan, Dr. Ohno pointed out, was coming out of a recession. Consumer demand was about to climb. ''This is the beginning of the boom, and we need to add inventories,'' he said; Mr. Cho needed to look forward, not back.
Mr. Cho has never forgotten that lesson. As president and chief executive of Toyota Motor, he is pushing it to become the world's premier automaker. Right now, the company is in front of Ford Motor and behind General Motors in sales.
By 2010, Mr. Cho has told employees, he wants Toyota to hold 15 percent of global sales, up from about 10 percent in 2002. That would probably put it ahead of G.M., with 15 percent now but gradually slipping even as its domestic share increases.
It is a goal that some analysts question, given the ruthless competition that auto companies face in the United States and Europe, and the weakness of auto sales in Japan, where companies have faced a sluggish market for a decade. And while Toyota sold 1.7 million cars and trucks last year in the United States, its biggest market, it remains in fourth place, behind Chrysler.Continue reading the main story
But Mr. Cho said he saw plenty of opportunity in developing markets like China, where Toyota just opened its first plant, and was not about to stop his push in the United States, either. This year, Toyota is expanding production at its truck plant in Princeton, Ind.; it is building another small-truck plant in Mexico; and it is expected to announce plans soon for its third assembly plant in the United States, with Texas, Alabama and other states competing for it.
''We do not believe the auto industry is a mature industry,'' Mr. Cho said in an interview earlier this month at the Detroit auto show.
James P. Womack, director of the Lean Enterprise Institute in Cambridge, Mass., likens Mr. Cho's potential impact to that of Alfred P. Sloan Jr., the General Motors chief executive from 1923 to 1946, whose memoir is a perennial management best seller.
Mr. Womack's 1990 book, ''The Machine That Changed the World,'' praised Toyota's production methods. He says that if Mr. Cho's drive succeeeds, he will be ''the logical successor to Sloan as the pioneer in state-of-the-art management of vast, globalized, mature companies.''
A key portion of that drive is based on two risky strategies, which Mr. Cho discussed at the Detroit show.
One is the company's thrust into alternative-fuel vehicles, including cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells, as well as hybrid gasoline-electric models. In December, Toyota sold its first fuel-cell-powered vehicles in the United States and Japan, and it showed off a hydrogen-powered concept sports car in Detroit, the Fines, for Fuel Cell Innovative Emotion-Sport.
The company also unveiled a hybrid version of the Lexus RX 330 sport utility vehicle, which it said would be available within two years. By then, Toyota, which sold its 100,000th hybrid Prius compact in 2002, wants to sell 300,000 hybrids a year. Mr. Cho wants sales to reach a million by 2010.
All this is happening before Detroit's Big Three even put their first hybrids on sale, though Toyota faces a stiff challenge from Honda of Japan, which is selling hybrid Civics and Insights and also has a fuel-cell car.
But Mr. Cho, who was the manager of Toyota's first American assembly plant, in Georgetown, Ky., in 1988, is accustomed to risks. He is taking another chance with Toyota's new Scion division, aimed at buyers 25 and younger. Scions, which include the xA subcompact and the xB small van, go on sale in California this summer and will be sold nationwide in 2004. Scion is Toyota's effort to respond to its image among many young consumers as a gray-haired company.
Art Spinella, an industry analyst with CNW Marketing Research in Bandon, Ore., said the approach was vital. ''There's a very distinct attitude among Generation Y that their cars are for older people,'' he said.
Mr. Cho, 64, said he was placing his trust in Toyota's marketing experts, who are convinced, based on sales in Japan, that the xA and xB will attract young Americans. It is not the first time he has relied on Americans to come through for him.
Soon after the Georgetown plant opened, northern Kentucky was paralyzed by a snowstorm that had begun during the day shift. Mr. Cho was not sure that enough workers would make it in for the night shift. So he asked for volunteers to work a double shift. Virtually the entire shift offered to stay on, and to Mr. Cho's surprise, nearly all the second shift showed up as well. Many of those workers drove in hours early because they were afraid the storm would make them late.
The episode showed the respect employees had for Mr. Cho, said Sam Heltman, then the plant's director of human resources. Known for his friendly manner, Mr. Cho would walk the plant floor each day, talking to its 1,100 workers and listening to their complaints.
''He acted as though he had nothing more important to do than to listen to this person and given them his undivided attention,'' said Mr. Heltman, who is now senior vice president for administration at Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America.
The conversations helped Mr. Cho understand the challenges of building vehicles in a foreign market, said Takahiro Fujimoto, an economics professor at Tokyo University, who has studied Toyota for decades. ''He has a real shop-floor knowledge about manufacturing vehicles.''
Along with getting to know Georgetown's workers, Mr. Cho became a faithful member of the Georgetown Rotary Club and later received an honorary degree from the University of Kentucky. He returned to Japan in 1994 and was named president of Toyota in 1999.
Mr. Cho and his wife, Emiko, have two grown sons. He is fond of golf and fishing. Mr. Cho and Professor Fujimoto, who are long-time friends, share an affinity for Kendo, an ancient Japanese martial art that dates back to samurai warriors. Both were members of the Kendo squad at Tokyo University, where Mr. Cho received a law degree in 1960.
In keeping with his employee-friendly approach, Mr. Cho said his goals were not meant to be ultimatums but should serve ''as a banner under which everyone should walk.'' As for achieving global dominance, he said, ''We will do our best.''Continue reading the main story

January 10, 2012
One year ago today...
I received amazing news. It's not the only time I've received wonderful and life changing news. Other times:
18 years ago, the doctor said, "It's a boy!"
16 years ago, "It's another boy!"
14 years ago, "It's a girl!"
11 years ago, "It's another girl!"
9 years ago, "It's a dog!"
7 years ago... well, that must have been a slow year in the world
of amazing news, but you get the gist.
Still, January 10th, 2011 will forever be a day I will remember and celebrate. A day that will give me lots of opportunities to say to my kids, "See, amazing things happen... and they can happen to you!"
This past year has been filled with many wonderful experiences. Of course, one of the most special was the ALA conference in New Orleans where I received the Newbery Award. My family came out in full force, i.e. my husband and four kids, my sister, her husband and their four kids, and my mom and dad. I joked that we were like the Clampitt's riding into New Orleans. No, we did not strap Grandma to the top of the 15 passenger van, but we certainly felt like we had struck it rich and really enjoyed the cement pond at the hotel.
I've met many wonderful people, spoken at lots of schools and conferences, gotten some great fan mail. One of my favorites was from a 4th grader who told me he was glad that Kansas was now known for something other than basketball and weather! That's big noise, especially since Kansas is pretty much the birthplace of basketball.
So 2011 was a wonderful year but not only because of a special award. Other big events: Lucy got her braces off. Paul got his braces on. Luke crammed 80 high school kids in our garage for a dance and everyone survived. Grace's singing has not broken any windows... yet. (Lucy made me put that.)
And I finished my next book! It is called Navigating Early and will come out next spring. More on that soon.
So, life goes on and life is good.
April 2011
Okay. I've procrastinated long enough. Actually, I wouldn't call it procrastination. I just haven't wrapped my brain around the fact that people I'm not related to are actually reading my website.
I had a fun time creating this website last summer in preparation for the book coming out and part of that was because I approached it as if I was just talking to my sister, my kids, or my friend across the street.
Then January 10th rolled around and the Newbery seal went on my book, and all of the sudden people were e-mailing me, telling me something they had read on my website. I think that's when I froze up a bit and I gave myself the excuse of not updating it because I had to write my Newbery acceptance speech. Or I needed to prepare for upcoming speaking engagements. And those were valid excuses. But then, they became a little less valid – like I need to fold some laundry. Or I need to let the dogs out. Or I really need to change out that roll of toilet paper.
That's when I realized I had a bit of writer's block regarding my website. So I decided to go to go back to what worked the first time. I'm just going to write as if I'm talking to my sister, my kids, or my neighbor across the street - and just tell you what's been going on in my world lately.
In a nutshell, life has been wonderful, crazy, and very busy. I've had many invitations to speak at schools, conferences, book festivals. What a thrill to get to talk to so many people who are very excited about my book!
In fact, I would have to say that one of the most unexpected and most wonderful results of winning the Newbery has been the way my local community in Wichita and people across Kansas have embraced the book and celebrated this wonderful honor with me. It's like there's this big Newbery train and everyone feels free to jump on. And I love that!
I also love the fact that I've had some great help. While I was in New York immediately following the Newbery announcement, my sister and our good friend CY (C.Y. not sigh) came up with a To-Do list to help me in those busy days. Things like #4 – Make new business cards. #7 - Start a scrapbook. And my favorite one, #13 – get pre-loaded credit cards for CY and Annmarie.
We set up weekly meetings to help keep me organized. They consist of Annmarie and CY showing up at my house asking, "Is the coffee on?" Or "Can I fix myself an egg?" Then Annmarie's kids eat their breakfast at the counter and CY's son tells us how the Wichita State Shockers are doing. As soon as everyone's fed, the kids go off to play or watch a show and I clean up the kitchen. Then we start to discuss something, like updating my website, and then Annmarie's littlest one has to go to the bathroom. Then we start to talk about up upcoming event just in time for CY's phone to ring. Then I start to pull out my calendar to go over a few odds and ends as CY packs up to take Jake to school and Annmarie gathers up her kids. Then I go in the family room to pick up the monopoly game that has been "played with" and is now on the floor.
I get a lot done at those meetings.
But my daughter Grace did start a wonderful scrapbook full of Moon Over Manifest pictures and memorabilia, Annmarie did design some great new business cards, along with some for herself and CY giving them each the job title of "Assistant to the Assistant." They are still waiting for their fully loaded credit cards but I do make sure they get coffee and an egg once a week.
We're all chipping in and we're all having a great time.
Hopefully, I'll get another update in before long. I need to go change a roll of toilet paper.

A Letter From Lisa
Greetings National CAPACD Family, Partners, and Supporters,
At the end of this year, I will be stepping down as the Executive Director of National CAPACD. I have been with the organization for 15 years, and in that time, the organization has grown tremendously from two staff to 15 employees in two offices, with a budget of over $4 million. I first joined the organization in 2001, a few years after the organization's inception. We opened our DC office only one month before September 11th, during a time when we were reflecting upon what it meant to be "AAPI" and to be true to our social justice values. I am so proud of the organization's accomplishments thus far - our deep partnership and collaborations with sister civil rights and advocacy organizations, our programs that have delivered real resources to our members, our amazing staff team, and our collective impact on national AAPI advocacy. I am truly excited about the future of National CAPACD and its next chapter.
Through the years, National CAPACD conceived of and launched programs that are near and dear to my heart, such as the Community in the Capital and the ACTION peer-to-peer technical assistance programs. During the housing and economic crisis, we launched our HUD housing counseling program and have since built on that infrastructure to provide asset building and financial capability programs with our members. Today, we re-grant over $2 million to community-based organizations serving low-income AAPIs and the neighborhoods in which they live. Our published research reports have made incredible headway in ensuring that the national conversation about equity includes AAPIs. We have had a number of accomplishments in the policy and advocacy front, including expanded language access and better data collection and disaggregation with federal agencies and financial institutions, legislation to establish Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, and a historic convening at the White House on AAPI public-private partnerships – all things that I hope will have a lasting effect on improving the lives of our communities for years to come. We have done so much together, but more than anything, I will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to grow and learn with this organization and with all of you.
As you know, I moved to Southern California to be closer to family and aging parents earlier this year. The board and staff have been working with me since early 2015 to build a strong leadership team and infrastructure to manage organizational growth and support my need to be closer to home. We have been planning specifically for the Executive Director transition since March 2016. The organization is financially strong because we have brought on very talented and diverse staff who run our programs, operations, and fundraising activities. In addition, we have made investments in building a robust senior leadership team to guide the organization during this period of growth and change. I am fully confident in the team that National CAPACD has in place. In particular, I am grateful for the leadership of Seema Agnani, who has agreed to serve as the Interim Managing Director while National CAPACD goes through the process of selecting a new, permanent Executive Director. Since joining National CAPACD in January 2015 as our Director of Policy and Civic Engagement, she has anchored our national policy work and provided key leadership for the organization. Seema's leadership, seasoned managerial skills, and familiarity with our issues and relationship with members will serve the organization well during this time.
National CAPACD staff members, past and present, have such passion for our communities and our core values of equity, justice, and fairness. Together, we have lived through two Administrations and were able to witness history with our first African-American President, the creation of a new federal agency – the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and strides towards recognition for Native Hawaiians. We have seen unprecedented levels of engagement by the White House Initiative on AAPIs and tremendous increase in the number of AAPIs in Congress, in the White House, and in presidential appointments. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to be in DC these past two decades, to play a small part in changing the narrative about AAPIs, as well as strengthening our presence and collective influence on national policy.
In the coming years, I hope that National CAPACD continues to serve as a platform for action and dialogue, and I am glad that we recently recommitted ourselves to our explicit social justice values and partnerships with organizing groups. The national conversation about race and systemic, institutionalized racism is, I believe, at a historic turning point. The importance of centering black lives, raising our voices in solidarity and not allowing AAPIs to be used as a wedge to denigrate other communities of color, has never been more critical.
We have come a long way and I leave knowing that National CAPACD is well-positioned to continue on this path moving forward. In 2017, the new Executive Director will be able to work with the staff, board, and member organizations on a new strategic plan for the future. I look forward, with anticipation, to see how National CAPACD will evolve and continue to lead our communities. Though I am stepping down, know that I will never leave my beloved National CAPACD family and I will take your stories and lessons with me in my next adventure.
With love and gratitude,
Lisa Hasegawa

In an effort to use Spiceworks to get a really through inventory of all networked devices, I've added a range of IP's corresponding to Aglient 6890 and 7890 (and similar) network GC systems (linked to Chemstation).
Does anyone have any advice as to how to get Spiceworks to get more info from them? Or, is my only option to fill in everything manually. Does anyone else use network GC systems with spiceworks that has any advice at all?
I've attached the output from an NMAP scan for one of the machines.

It's not always easy to keep independent readers challenged. Between the requirements of the curriculum and the pace that the rest of the class needs, sometimes they have to wait for other students to catch up. You can use Lexile measures to find additional reading materials that will provide these readers with the right level of challenge.
Leveling should not be limiting
Find a Book lets you look for books with higher Lexile measures at a low developmental level. When you get to your search results, try setting the age slider to your child's age, and the Lexile range slider somewhat higher. In this example, you would see books that are developmentally appropriate for a 3rd grader, but with readability levels more typical of middle school:
High-achieving students may seek out harder books to challenge themselves. And enthusiastic readers may devour books about their interests, regardless of the difficulty level of the text.
Higher-level books provide a great opportunity for reading growth, particularly if you know the Lexile measure of the book.
Use your library's online resources to differentiate materials
Chances are your school or district subscribes to one or more article databases from companies like EBSCO and ProQuest. We partner with content aggregators to provide full-text, content-area reading materials searchable by Lexile measure. So when your child is doing a unit on the Harlem Renaissance, do a quick article search to find content with higher Lexile measures. Ask your child's teacher or school librarian for login access to these resources.
Independent readers like to find their own books
Encourage children to use Find a Book! Whether or not they know their Lexile measure, they'll love to make reading lists on their own. If they know their Lexile measure, they can click on an individual book to see their forecasted comprehension rate. A reader's sweet spot for reading is between 65% to 80% comprehension rate. But if you have a first grader who's already read all the "Harry Potter" books, he or she may be up to the challenge of harder books, where the forecasted comprehension rate drops below 65%.
