This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
They have good lunch specials, I remember it was like $5 for 2 huge slices and a drink. That was a couple years ago though, Venezia's that is.
Fresh off his "JUICY AUSTRALIA TOUR"
AZ88. Killer burgers ($9) Amazing grilled cheese with bacon and tomato ($7.50) Nothing over $16.00 on the dinner menu.
Impressive bar. Award winning martinis. Very cool building tucked away in the Scottsdale civic center. Full menu every night til 12:30AM
Recommended: Hot Pepper Chicken Sandwich
Wisconsin Burger (not on menu)
AZ88 signature buffalo blue cheese chicken sandwich
i'll be eating some Venezia next week. It's close to work and I've had some colleagues recommend it.
Bumping this, just got back from lunch at Cibo. It's been about 3.5 years since the only time I've eaten there. I got the PLT (prosciutto, lettuce, and tomato). My wife had the eggplant sandwich. Today's lunch was way better than the first time I went there. We also got the Nutella Crepe with bananas which was great. Thumbs way up.

It turned out be a good lunch spot like others mentioned. I would also think about ordering it if I had to feed a bunch of people. It wasn't that expensive and would probably please most folks. I didn't care too much for the crust. It seemed flaky (like a croissant) and tasteless. I prefer a more chewy crust. If you like a lot of cheese, this is a good pizza.
I might have mentioned this before, but I'm on the lookout for a good french dip sandwich (not an Italian Beef dip like Lukes). So far the best one's I've had are at Wallys on Camelback and the Stockyards (only on Thursdays between 12-2). Houstons has a good one, but I can't do $18 for a lunch sandwich too often. I love the Au Jus at Doc n Eddys in Tempe, but the sandwich itself is lunch-meat quality roast beef on something slightly better than a hotdog bun. I still need to try the one at Tricks. If there are any St. Louis transplants on here, I'm hoping for something similar to Lions Choice.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
Rough! I get the similarity between LC and Arbys, but LC does use real (and good quality) roast beef. They have a deli slicer. I read somewhere that Arbys' roast beef is made from a processed gel.
Edit: I guess that's false: http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/arbys.asp, but I still won't do Arbys

good to know.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
Have you tried Chompies for a french dip? I haven't had it there but all of the other sandwiches I have had there are amazing. I can't imagine the french dip not following that trend. They also have the best bagels and lox plate I have ever had.
Also, I kinda like Arby's french dip sub.
I had been trying to find a good mongolian bbq place and hit up AJ's Mongolian BBQ at Metro Center Mall... It was not good.
Chompies is a superior suggestion!
I like the YC's Mongolian on McClintock and Southern, but it's the first MBBQ I ever had so I'm probably biased towards it. I haven't been in there for a decade or so. When I lived in Texas I went to the worst MBBQ place that had diced ham, ground beef, spaghetti sauce, tacos.....The rural Texans weren't quite ready for an all Asian food place so they had to mix it up.
Here's a review from Yelp of that place that shows you the intellect of the community:
While it's a shame that this "Mongolian Fusion Grill" is now closed, as it added an interesting option in the community, we are not surprised it closed as every time my wife and I have drove by we have looked and jokingly said "Wow, it's still open?". Several reasons being that #1 there were never any cars in the parking lot, and #2 when we went in to eat once, we were confused by how to order. They had like a salad bar type thing, you were supposed to pick your meats and then they grilled them or you grilled them or something. While the staff was nice and tried to explain it to us, we couldn't figure it out.
Yeah, that was how it was at the place we went, just a salad bar full of toppings and no real advice on how to make it work. I have heard good things about YC's also but it is kind of far for us, we are in North Phoenix. They are building a new place over by PV mall called Genghis Mongolian BBQ or something like that but it isn't open yet. I am hoping it's good, there are others all over the valley, has anyone tried it yet?
Oh how I miss Zipps and you are right about their wings. None better. I like the Ivysaur suggestions as well. I've had all of those.
I used to work right by the Zipps on Hayden and Via Ventura. Luch was one of two things. Golden Wings or the kick ass awesome Buffalo Fuccacia. Holy shit those were both fantastic.
^ I think im going to go test these "best wings in phoenix" tonight.

China Rail Slumps on Sudden Death of President: Hong Kong Mover
Jasmine WangChina Railway Group Ltd. slumped the most in six months in Hong Kong trading after the nation's second-largest rail-builder said its President Bai Zhongren died in an accident.
China Railway dropped 4.1 percent, the most since July 3, to close at HK$3.75. Its bigger rival China Railway Construction Corp. fell 3.8 percent. The city's benchmark index Hang Seng Index declined 0.6 percent.
The company, which built projects such as Qinghai-Tibet line, the world's highest, said its operations remain normal as Chairman Li Changjin will assume Bai's responsibilities before a new appointment, according to a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange yesterday. Bai fell from a building on Jan. 4, Wang Mengshu, a deputy chief engineer at the builder, said in a phone interview today.
"The market is concerned about the real reason for Bai's death as the company didn't clearly state it," said Gary Wong, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Guotai Junan Securities Co.
Beijing-based China Railway declined to comment further on the incident, according to an e-mailed statement today by Hill+Knowlton Strategies, which handles the company's media relations.
The company, which also constructed the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed link, posted a 47 percent jump in net income to 2.8 billion yuan ($463 million) in the quarter ended in September, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Property Development
Infrastructure construction is the company's biggest business, accounting for more than 80 percent of revenue as of end of June. China Railways' other operations include manufacturing of engineering equipment and property development.
China Railway Corp, operator of the nation's rail network, is the main customer of the builder. As of September end, trade and bills receivables of China Railway Group increased 23 percent to 116.5 billion yuan from a year earlier, the data show. The company may post a profit of 8.7 billion yuan in 2013, according to the average of 15 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
China's former railway minister Liu Zhijun was given a suspended death sentence in July for abuse of power and taking bribes, as the Communist Party roots out graft that blossomed during the debt-fueled roll-out of the world's biggest high-speed rail network.
The nation spent 663.8 billion yuan in railroad fixed-asset investment last year, rail operator China Railway Corp. said in a statement on the central government's website today. That was 5.2 percent more than the 631 billion yuan invested a year earlier as the government pledged to build more rail networks, especially in China's central and western regions.
The total length of rail network under operation reached 103,000 kilometers (64,000 miles), including 11,000 kilometers of high-speed rail, the longest in the world, according to the statement.

Andrew Lansley to urge striking doctors to protect patients
With doctors having planned to embark on industrial action on June 21 – the first ever protest by them since 1975 -, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley will reportedly write a letter to the British Medical Association (BMA), asking the doctors to ensure that their forthcoming strike does not put the safety of patients at risk.
The letter which Lansley will write to the BMA will chiefly call on the doctors to be "true to their word" in ensuring patients' safety, and will serve as a reminder to them about NHS commitments on waiting times; more so because if operations and diagnostic tests are cancelled – as a result of the loss of a day's work on June 21 -, it would amount to a breach of the commitments.
With the forthcoming walkout by the doctors essentially being an upshot the changes which have been made to their pensions, the key reason for the protest is the plan to raise the retirement age of the doctors from 65 to 68 years, and to increase pension contributions.
The decision about the industrial action came after a ballot of over 100,000 doctors showed a clear majority in support of the strike, on a turnout of 50 percent.
Noting that the protest "is the only option left to try to get a fair deal," a BMA spokesman said that though the industrial action will "disrupt the NHS," patient safety will remain "the absolute top priority."

It's Friday and time for another blog hop and Friday Follow! The blog hop is hosted by Jenn at Crazy-For- Books and the Friday Follow is hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View. This is where we get together to find new blogs we love and new blogger friends.
Each week Jenn asks a question for us to answer. This week it is:
Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?
No, I don't usually. Because my life is hectic with two kids I find chasing them around the house while reading is about all I can handle. However, if I'm reading in the tub or the kids are asleep I'll listen to Enya or something similar to that.
Last week I had a yard sale and was very sad to miss out on this great big fun party, so I'm hoping to really be able to join in this week and visit a LOT of blogs!
Now there are some fun things going on around here. I've got some great giveaways going on and one went up today! You can enter to win a preorder of your choice from The Book Depository. And be sure to look at the top of my blog for the rest of my giveaways.
I've read some great books this week and already have the reviews posted, so be sure to check them out as well! They include Other by Karen Kincy and Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken. I also reviewed Fire Me Up by Katie MacAllister earlier in the week.

The biggest-selling diabetes drug in the world dramatically increases the risk of heart attacks and death from heart problems, according to an analysis by a top cardiologist published online in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Millions of patients have been prescribed the pill, Avandia, since it was introduced eight years ago. Drug maker
If Avandia does boost heart risk, the repercussions will reach far beyond GlaxoSmithKline or even the patients who may have been harmed by the drug. Right now both houses of Congress are debating bills that would reform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; these bills must be passed by September or the FDA will have inadequate funds.
A drug safety scandal could reignite the congressional debate, putting Big Pharma back on the defensive. Some of the toughest reforms, like a proposal to create a separate FDA office that would track side effects and yank products from the market, have fallen by the wayside.
Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, performed the analysis by combing through 42 already completed studies of Avandia. Nissen has become one of the most prominent drug safety advocates in the U.S. since he warned in 2001 that Merck's
Nissen began to worry about Avandia last September when he saw the results of a 5,000-patient clinical trial, called DREAM, that showed Avandia prevented diabetes. Despite this benefit, patients on Avandia were 37% more likely to have heart problems, although the result was not statistically significant.
The DREAM results were "very troubling," Nissen told Forbes.com at the time (see: "Glaxo's Faustian Pill"). In a December letter to The Lancet, the medical journal that published DREAM, he went further, saying the result raised "serious questions about the safety of this agent." Also in December, he became more troubled when another study, meant to show that Avandia worked better than either of two cheaper generic diabetes drugs, also pointed to increased heart problems.
But putting together all of the data proved difficult. With his Vioxx work, Nissen was able to use data that had been presented at an FDA meeting. This time, he had to find studies that had been conducted by Glaxo after Avandia was approved.
Through a
In an editorial in the New England Journal, two other veterans of the Vioxx controversy–Bruce Psaty of the University of Washington and Curt Furberg of Wake Forest University–write that there is no clear reason to prescribe Avandia at all now. They call for the FDA to take action and complain that bigger and better studies of the drug should have been completed earlier.
Nissen is doing a study of Actos for Takeda and consults for most major pharmaceutical firms, but he gives all the fees drug makers send him to charity.
Analyses like the one Nissen conducted are fraught with weaknesses; combining data from different studies creates all kinds of statistical problems. But they have become one of the main ways of raising concerns about risky medical drugs and devices.
Before Vioxx, such combined studies raised concerns about links between common antidepressants and suicidal thoughts. Later, combined data from different studies prevented Pargluva, a medicine from
More recently, data re-analysis started the debate about the safety of the drug-coated stents made by
One key measure of reform bills in Congress is that they would give the FDA more money to conduct these kinds of analyses. Another, major part of the Senate bill would force companies to make all study results public, making it easier for researchers like Nissen to conduct their own analyses.
Still, James Underberg, a cardiologist at the New York University Medical School, warned that "doctors have to be very careful not to overreact" to this kind of statistical data until statisticians have combed the data.
"It's great that they're identifying a potential problem, but to have it as a lead article in The New England Journal is not sensitive to the consequences" for patients who might stop taking their medicine, says Stuart Weiss, and NYU endocrinologist. Both Weiss and Underberg do speaking or consulting for drug makers; Underberg does not work with Glaxo.
If Avandia is a risky drug, there is perhaps a dark irony to its story. Avandia was invented in the laboratories of Smithkline Beecham, a Glaxo predecessor, two decades ago as one of a class of medicines meant to treat diabetes. But a rival drug, Rezulin, from
The FDA may have felt pressure to approve Avandia two years later because safety problems were starting to show up with Rezulin. The Pfizer drug was pulled from the market in 2000 because it caused liver problems.
The FDA and Glaxo were unable to comment in time for this story.

Crack the interview code
CommentsThe gateway to your dream job, interviews have most of us stumped! A few tips on how to ace your next meeting
TimesJobs.com Bureau
Interviewing is probably the most important aspect of the hiring process. It provides employers the opportunity to learn about a candidate's work experience, education, and interpersonal abilities, as well as characteristics – such as enthusiasm – that are rarely conveyed in resumes; similarly, the interview process often provides would-be employees with their best opportunity to inquire about various aspects of company operations and expectations.
Inspite of its importance most of us are unable to crack the 'interview code'. In a recent Hi-Tea chat session with Timesjobs.com Rekha Narendra, VP HR & Talent Development, Kantar Operations, WPP group shared some insightful interview techniques.
"One of the most important factors in an interview that most people ignore is excellent preparation. You have to be strong on your subject and practicing answering probable questions will help you become more confident. Also, your appearance is critical. Dress professional," said Narendra. This is important, she says as interviewers definitely look for strong subject knowledge and relevance of experience to the job being interviewed for. Also important are aspects like, will this person be a good team player, will he fit well into the organisation culture.
She also added that things like how the interviewee turns out and body language plays a big part in the outcome. "Always sit straight and confident. Do not slouch. Look into the eyes of the interviewer while you speak but don't stare only at one person. Avoid casual body language like slouching, leaning back. While gesturing use open gestures and avoid crossing arms since it means you are closed," she advised.
As a lot of interviews are conducted telephonically these days, she had a few tips about that, "Take the call in a secluded place with no disturbance. Remember that even if the person cannot see you your voice can give away your emotions. So, sound confident, smile while speaking and if something is not clear do not hesitate to ask the interviewer to repeat the question."
Many candidates are not clear whether salary negotiations should be done in the first meeting or should be left for the HR round of the interview. Narendra clarified, "Usually salary negotiation is not done during the interview. They may ask you your expectation but would not appreciate a negotiation at that point since the selection may not have been made. If you are fresher usually companies have fixed salary ranges. However, if you have experience you can definitely negotiate a good salary. Be aware of what the market pays for your kind of skills and your level of knowledge so that you are in a strong position to negotiate."
Some common interview questions:
Tell me something about yourself – The answer to this question should be crisp and not the entire life history. You should talk briefly about your education, background, and work experience
Why do you want to leave your current organisation? – Usually the reasons are career growth or change in track, salary etc. I would however suggest not to say that you are changing only for salary since that's not viewed very positively. Career growth is the standard answer but you should be able to also justify how the new organisation can help you with that
Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line? – What the recruiter is looking for is the candidate's vision about his career, does he have a goal, does he know the path he wants to take or is just floundering and unclear. So, the answer should be well thought through. It could be higher studies, or branching out into a different line, or becoming more technically proficient.

S-12-0702, Estate of Joseph James Teague, Deceased, by and through his Personal Representative, Joani M. Martinosky (Appellant) v Crossroads Cooperative Association, a Nebraska Corporation
Cheyenne County, Judge Derek C. Weimer
Attorneys: R. Kevin O'Donnell, Michael D. Samuelson (McGinley O'Donnell Reynolds & Korth PCLLO) (Appellant) --- Steven W. Olsen, John F. Simmons (Simmons Olsen Law Firm PC)
Civil: Tort action for wrongful death.
Proceedings below: this case was previously before the Supreme Court. See Estate of Teague v. Crossroads Cooperative Association, S-09-1309, (2011) (reversed and remanded with directions to dismiss) (memorandum opinion). Upon remand, the district court granted Appellee's motion to dismiss the 3rd Amended Complaint finding the Workers' Compensation Act applied to the case and was Appellant's exclusive remedy. The district court found the Act not to be unconstitutional and found the Complaint should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
Issues: 1. That the District Court erred in sustaining Appellee's Motion to Dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 2. That the District Court erred in determining that the Workers' Compensation Act applies to this case. 3. That the District Court erred in failing to recognize an exception to the exclusivity provisions of the Act in light of the facts of this case. 4. That employers seeking the applicability of the Act must be held to the same standard of conduct as employees. To hold otherwise was/is error and improperly deprives individuals such as Joseph James Teague and Appellant due process, equal protection under the law, a right to trial by jury, and constitutes improper special legislation. 5. That notwithstanding Appellant's contention that the Act does not apply to this case, should this Court determine otherwise, then the District Court erred in summarily dismissing Appellant's constitutional arguments because the ultimate success of such constitutional arguments are not a proper issue under a motion to dismiss pursuant to Neb. Ct. R. Pldg. § 6-1112(b)(6). Despite such errors, the District Court further erred in determining that the Act was not unconstitutional on its face and as applied to Joseph James Teague and Appellant.

text: The Milky Way's arms are splayed in response to a 'punch' from another galaxyEsther Inglis-Arkell9/15/11 10:00amFiled to: SpaceScienceAstronomyMilky Waydark matterSagittariusTop311EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA nearby dwarf galaxy, Sagittarius, has delivered two "punches" to our Milky Way galaxy. These impacts are what gave the Milky Way its spiraling arms. And we may take another hit soon. AdvertisementAt 10,000 light years across, Sagittarius is a small galaxy just a tenth the size of the Milky Way. It's also not very bright, and because it was obscured by the center of our galaxy, it wasn't discovered until 1994. Still, Sagittarius is loaded up with dark matter, and that has made its presence felt.A recent study published in Nature reveals that Sagittarius smashed into the Milky Way twice in the last two billion years. Those impacts pushed stars outwards. Chris Purcell, lead author of the study, explains:Advertisement"When all that dark matter first smacked into the Milky Way, 80 percent to 90 percent of it was stripped off. That first impact triggered instabilities that were amplified, and quickly formed spiral arms and associated ring-like structures in the outskirts of our galaxy."A tough hit for the Milky Way, but you should see the other guy. Sagittarius is literally getting ripped apart by the gravitational forces of the Milky Way. Before it dissolves, it may have another run at us, though. It's on course to hit the Milky Way one more time. We have another 10 million years to brace ourselves.Via Nasa and Nature.Reply31 repliesLeave a reply

Hi, in ISPconfig3 I have my SOA for agama.co.nz then I have my A and NS records for my nameserver in that SOA. Is that correct? Only other thing I can think of is it might be my registerar. Thank you for getting back to me.
HI, sorry but did you mean A record for my NS with my registerar? because for some reasion when I enter in my NS (ns1.agama.net.) and i enter in my ip address for that NS it wont save on their database, I have emailed them about it, do you think thats the problem? cheers
You need A records for ns1.ggohdin.net and ns2.ggohdin.net, not for ns1.agama.net. These A records must exist in the ggohdin.net zone.
Thanks, I have added a zone called ggohdin.net. and I have added the A records with ns1.ggohdin.net. pointing to my external IP. so I just have to wait for propagation time? cheers

Hey, thanks for all the help, but I might just give up. I donno why but my server downloaded 25GB in 7 days, and since their is no such thing as UNLIMITED download here, it probabaly isnt a good idea. cheers
I donno, I it hasn't saved anything to the hdd as far as I can tell from the raid status. It seems it was either uploading and downloading about 4 - 8 gb a day of requests it seems. Which is not good considering over here I get charged $2 per gig for anything over 25gb. I did get the website to work in the end, it seems that the control panel for the domain registrar had some issues with their data base and not holding my IP in their A record. cheers.
Then you should take a look at your logfiles adn website statistics which files were downloaded and ypu should vhcek your system with a rootkit scanner like rkhunter to make sure that your system was not hacked.
Hey, I have checked with rkhunter and everything was perfect, no suspected files, everything is green and perfect. Not really to sure what the problem would be. cheers

Tom Cruise is so in love with Katie At least all his people tell him so And while he thinks that she's a very special lady It's probably not the way he'd choose to go And a lifetime of longing looks would cause too much distraction Good thing that he's not gay anymore
Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy Just be glad it's him not you If you had Tom Cruise's troubles You might be Tom Cruise crazy too You'd flash your big white shiny smile You'd buy expensive shoes But you'd be the only man on Earth Who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise Oh no, you couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is always getting older He knows he'll never be that young again And when Tom Cruise looks back over his shoulder He says a thousand younger leading men He knows someday he'll have to play An old retarded grandpa While someone younger plays his sexy son
Tom Cruise knows somewhere there's a place for him He's not of this world anymore…
Somewhere in some secluded castle Poor Tom Cruise sits staring at the wall And the outside world is always such a hassle Sometimes he won't go out at all There are millions who know his name Everybody loves him Why is it that he feels so alone?

[edit] Research Tips
Gestingthorpe (pronounced , 'guesstingthorpe') is a village and a civil parish in the Braintree District, in the English county of Essex. It is approximately halfway between the towns of Halstead in Essex and Sudbury in Suffolk. The nearest railway station is in Sudbury, which offers a shuttle service to Marks Tey and at the extremes of the day to Colchester. The village is situated at a set of crossroads, North End Road, Nether Hill, Sudbury Road and Church Street. It is served by the number 11/12/13 bus between Sudbury and Halstead, 12 times each way <http://www.essexinfo.net/gestingthorpe>a day. In the 19th century the Manor of Over Hall in Gestingthorpe was the home of the Oates family, whose most famous son, Captain Lawrence Oates, was born in Putney, London on 16 March 1880. The Oates were originally a West Yorkshire family until they succeeded to the manor. In 1913 his brother officers erected a memorial to Captain Oates in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin. Just north of the village is Gestingthorpe Roman Villa, the site of a farmstead in the Celtic and Roman periods. The site has produced many archaeological finds including roof tiles, glass and a small ring with an engraving of a lion attacking a deer. The property remains a working farm, but visitors are accepted by appointment. The parish church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade I listed building.

New Disneyland holiday event targets Latino market
For the extended season, Disneyland officials decided to try out something new -- a three-day celebration aimed at a Latino-focused holiday.
On the first day Friday (today), officials were surprised at the amount of media interest in the Dia de Reyes event: Fourteen Spanish-language television outlets, both international and national, either broadcast on site or aired live segments from Disneyland. One English language station, KTTV, also came out, as well as a few print journalists for a morning media demonstration.
"We were pleasantly surprised," said Claudia Cespedes, associate marketing manager for the Disneyland Resort. "It was so welcome. Everybody was really excited."
Plus, the event drew crowds when it opened to guests Friday morning.
Dia de Reyes, or Three Kings Day, is traditionally celebrated in Latin American countries 12 days after Christmas to commemorate the day when the three kings brought gifts to Jesus in Christianity. Disneyland's version of the holiday includes traditional foods, entertainment by Mariachi Divas and folklorico dancers and kids' activities in Frontierland's Zocalo Park.
"It's kind of a fine line," Cespedes said. "We want to be mindful and show the cultural tradition, more so than the religious part."
Dia de Reyes is part of Disneyland's effort to market holidays to the Latino community. For the past two years, Disney also has reached out at Latino events to promote the Halloween season, bringing characters to perform and running a vote-for-your-favorite-villain campaign. See a previous story about Disney's Halloween promotion.
"It is a part of our regular campaign. Whatever we do for the general market, we do for the Hispanic market," Cespedes said.
For Dia de Reyes, Disneyland is selling traditional foods: A mini Rosca de Reyes, a ring shaped sweet bread, is for sale on a cart for $5.50 each, as well as strawberry churros for $3.75. Two types of tamales are available at the Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante.
Visitors can pose for pictures with Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed in festive attire, as well as the Three Caballeros, who are rarely seen in the park.
Claudia Mejia, 26, of Anaheim, came to Disneyland with family and friends specifically for the Dia de Reyes celebration, especially because of the music and Rosca de Reyes. Her four-year-old daughter, Jacklyn, got her face painted with a yellow crown and decorated a purple, paper crown with stickers.
Her family usually honors the day with a party at home, but they decided to celebrate at Disneyland instead.
"We really hope they continue doing this tradition because it's really fun and we love it," Mejia said.
Disneyland is the first Disney park to try out the event, although Disney World officials are watching to see how it works. Disneyland officials have yet to decide if they will continue the celebration next year after evaluating this weekend's success.
The event runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Preferred shares are often considered a hybrid security, since they share characteristics of both common stocks and corporate bonds. Like bonds, preferreds typically have a predictable income stream. But unlike bonds, most preferreds do not have a maturity date. And most important, the income from preferred shares is considered dividends rather than interest.
I've received many questions about preferred shares over the years: this asset is class is clearly popular with Canadian investors. But the honest truth is that I didn't have much insight to share: I don't include preferreds in my model portfolios for DIY investors, and our Toronto team at PWL Capital does not include them in client accounts. But other PWL advisors use them regularly, so I teamed up with my colleague Raymond Kerzérho, director of research at PWL Capital, to write a new white paper on the subject. In The Role of Preferred Shares in Your Portfolio, we describe the different types of preferreds in the Canadian marketplace, consider their risks and potential rewards, and help investors decide whether it's worth adding them to a diversified portfolio.

It's Father's Day and Froggy wants to show his dad how much he loves him. So he flop flops to the kitchen and tries to make his dad breakfast. But Froggy being Froggy, things don't go exactly as planned. Then it's off to the mini golf course, where Froggy attempts to hit a hole in one. Maybe he will be blessed by beginner's luck. Golf balls can take some crazy bounces, though, so Froggy had better be careful. And it also might help if he faced in the right direction when swinging his club!

Product Details
Chevy Impala 2004, Factory Style Rear Spoiler by JKS®. Material: ABS Plastic. Installation Type: Drilling. Spoilers are usually standard equipment on the factory hot rods. But even if you don't have the big horsepower engine under the hood, you can still give your car the same look as the high-performance models with this Rear Spoiler. Inexpensive and easy to install, for a little time and money you can improve your car's appearance and aerodynamics.
- Factory high-performance style
- Improves aerodynamics
- Available painted and unpainted
- Comes with everything required for installation
- 60-day warranty
At high speed, a rear spoiler can provide downforce, prevent airflow separation, and reduce drag and instability. Most people never drive their cars fast enough to get these benefits, but the appearance of the spoiler on the trunk lid implies the car's capability. That's why a rear spoiler is usually found on factory performance cars, it gives the impression of speed even when the car's parked. All necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive instructions are included.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, we strongly encourage you to select the painted option. Our computerized paint mixing system enables us to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.

It's a hot, dry night in the Nevada desert, and George Maloof Jr. can scarcely contain his glee. Peering down from his V.I.P. cabana at Skin, the poolside lounge at his family's Palms Hotel & Casino, Maloof smiles at the debauchery unfolding below.
Painted in green and purple lights, a dozen bikini-clad bombshells from two of Las Vegas' biggest strip clubs frolic in the water. Hundreds of young partygoers sip expensive cocktails and dance as a DJ pumps out the latest hip-hop hits.
"Just another night in Sin City," shrugs Maloof, the 39-year-old owner and operator of the Palms. "The true spirit of Las Vegas is in partying. Young people don't want attractions. They want to drink, dance and have a good time."
Under Maloof's guidance, the Palms, which opened in November 2001 about a quarter-mile west of the Las Vegas Strip, has become Party Central for young adults. The Palms exudes sex, from its Playboy-themed slot machines to its "playpen" bachelor party suites. MTV used the hotel to filma season of the Real World, a reality show that chronicled the sins of seven strangers. Frequent visits by pop stars and pro athletes add to the cachet.
But sex appeal is only part of the draw. During the day the Palms caters to a different crowd: retirees who come to the casino for its slot machines, generous player perks and cheap buffets. That simple blend of sex and slots has been a jackpot for Maloof and his family who, with their ownership of the Palms and pro basketball's Sacramento Kings; stakes in Wells Fargo; and a Coors distributorship, are worth at least $1 billion, according to FORBES estimates.
Maloof's timing for the Palms couldn't be more perfect. Vegas is in the midst of an image makeover. In the 1990s casino operators made a concerted effort to sell the city as a family destination. Deeper-pocketed competitors like Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson built lavish theme resorts anchored around expensive attractions, from ancient Egypt (the Luxor) and Renaissance Europe (the Venetian) to big art collections (the Bellagio).
But sin never left the desert. City marketers have since abandoned their efforts to portray Vegas as a Disney on Dice, and are once again enticing visitors with hedonistic slogans, such as "Vegas: What happens here, stays here."
All of which plays perfectly into Maloof's hand. Though small by Vegas standards–only 430 rooms, 7 restaurants, 3 nightclubs–the Palms is producing solid returns. Maloof expects to earn $50 million in operating
The Palms is just the latest score by the Maloof clan. It all began in 1892, when George's grandfather Joseph Maloof opened a grocery store in New Mexico after emigrating from Lebanon. His father, George Maloof Sr., steered the business into wine and liquor distribution, banking and hotels. By the time George Sr. died in 1980, he had become one of New Mexico's richest men.
In 1985 George moved to Las Vegas to study hotel management and play football at UNLV. The experience wasn't entirely academic. "I'd go to class, play football, eat and then go gamble until two in the morning," he admits. "I played every game in every casino. I learned what it was like to place a bet and lose."
After graduating, Maloof persuaded his family to buy a plot of land in the north end of Las Vegas for a modern casino targeted at local gamblers called the Fiesta. By the late 1990s Maloof had turned the Fiesta into a locals' favorite. The key: programming his slot machines to give players better odds of winning.
"George knows his customer," says Anthony Curtis, a former pro gambler and publisher of the newsletter Las Vegas Advisor. "He knows he has to give local gamblers a feeling of entitlement if he expects them to play his machines."
Slots make up 70% of the Palms' gambling revenues (for casinos on the Strip, it's much lower), and at least 60%of the property's profits (for public Strip casino hotels, it's about 30%). Though frowned upon as downscale, the machines are less susceptible to foul play, are cheaper to operate and provide a more predictable revenue stream than table games like blackjack and craps. They also serve as a hedge against high rollers who can win six figures in just a few hours at the tables.
"I'm obsessed with slots," Maloof confesses. So obsessed, his cell phone receives hourly updates on how many people are playing his 2,000 machines.
Maloof sold the Fiesta in 2001 to gaming
Both markets are ripe. Las Vegas has become one of America's fastest-growing cities, with more than 60,000 people moving to the city and its suburbs each year. More than 11 million people under the age of 40 visit Las Vegas every year.
On a recent Wednesday afternoon the west side of the Palms casino floor looks more like a senior center than a gambling hangout. Amid flashing lights, gray-haired gamblers–most of whom live within 5 miles of the Palms–feed dollars into game-show-themed slot machines. Just off the casino floor, several patrons are lining up to play bingo and keno. Others are cashing in bonus points from their frequent-player cards.
On the east side, things get racier. Across from the Playboy slots looms the "wheel of fortune." This summer a flaxen-haired siren named Amanda lured gamblers to place bets on whether the wheel would stop on a blonde, brunette or redhead (at most casinos the wheel stops on various dollar-bill denominations). On weekends, when Amanda spun the wheel, the game's drop–industry jargon for money wagered–increased 500%.
Just off the casino floor at Rain, the hotel's cavernous dance club, girls in skimpy outfits descend from the ceiling. A flame-thrower spews fire above the pulsating mass dancing on the floor below. High up on the 55th floor, in a Palms lounge, cocktail waitresses ply the floor in tight white miniskirts, their every movement accented by black light. A glass-floor balcony allows revelers to gaze straight down on the action at Skin, below.
When he persuaded MTV to film its Real World reality show at the Palms in early 2002, Maloof spent $1 million converting six rooms into an oversize luxury suite. It was money well spent: The Palms was beamed into millions of homes for six months. Today the Real World suite, which can go for up to $10,000 a night, is enjoyed by high rollers and rock stars alike.
Celebrities play a big part in Maloof's marketing scheme. Their mere appearance in the hotel brings in the guests. "Seeing Pink or Britney Spears or Shaq makes their whole trip," he says. Maloof offers the Real World suite, along with other perks, to encourage celebrities to stay at the Palms. To entice athletes, Maloof outfitted special NBA suites with extra-long beds and high showerheads.
As for George Maloof, he may be as Jekyll-and-Hyde as his hotel. Though he insists he leads a "boring" life, it is often fodder for tabloids. He dates Playboy Playmates, but spends Sundays in the office after church. "What I'm most proud of is the fact that my casinos have been responsible for 2,500 jobs," he says. "That in itself is enough to motivate me to not screw up."
Provided he doesn't screw up, Maloof will have another thing to be proud of: membership in The Forbes 400.

Day 50.. Floating on a raft made of water bottles
... perfect weather for it, about 30-35 degrees with no wind.
The park has become more crowded today, probably because of the weather. We still have our own space which is great, there are just a few more campers around. It's so funny, the place is full of older Croatians, Dutch and German couples who all have a little set of tables and chairs with cute little table clothes and flowers on top. They all sit in front of their motorhomes eating bread and ...
Day 48... The purple and black styled lady
... on our journey to Karlovac. We arrived at about 3pm only to find that everything was close except... Wait for it.. An ice cream cafe! Ooo d�j� vu !
This had happened to us last Sunday. So I bought another iced coffee and Paul a couple of beers and we used their Internet for an hour or so. The waiter was heaps nice and we got chatting to him and he told us that there was a plaza opened on Sundays down the road until 6pm! What a find. We were almost out of food and water ...
Day 47 ... Time to start the village dog choir
... that the forest in which we were camping was being logged! The sound of chainsaws at 6.30am is a little startling when one is camped in a forest, believe me. I don't think I have ever packed up so quickly! Paul was pretty relaxed during this whole affair. They won't log near us. As soon as they see the tent they will stop, he kept saying. But I can see them! And they are coming closer! So he then got up. They were only a couple of guys with chainsaws, not like a commercial ...
... did not really set it in stone, rather we wanted to see a dozen places in and around the Notranjska and Dolenjska regions and then head back to Ljubljana for one last night in the little gem of a town. Well the plan did not really work out as you will see below and I am going on the record as being the one to blame. With Kelly the nominated driver and therefore Captain of our ship, the two girls in the back, or in the flight control tower providing ...
Hungarian Goulash
... basin they had to move aside so you could open the door. The shower area was past the two urinals, on opposite walls. If they were both in use you had to wait before going to the shower or coming from it. My immediate reaction was to leave at once! However we decided to stay for as short a time as possible, spend a day sightseeing in Budapest then move on.
The site was very noisy in the evening ...

Comments about John Hay
A vision seen by Plato the divine:
Two shuddering souls come forward, waiting doom
From Rhadamanthus in the nether gloom.
One is a slave hunger has made him pine;
One is a king his arms and jewels shine,
Making strange splendor in the dismal room.
"Hence!" cries the judge, "and strip them! Let them come
With nought to show if they be coarse or fine."
Of garb and body they are swift bereft:

What does mean not motu? What is the motu dogma?
Keldor was obviously already a mage of some sort. Plus it is implied the transformation is a process, not a sudden change. This is why we see him on a previous occasion defeating death & why Hordak speaks on another occasion of his "ascension".
Randor's blood is the final component to Keldor's change.

What does mean not motu? What is the motu dogma?
This was DC's version of Skeltors origin. The MOTUC mini comic is still coming with King He-Man, but it will be a very different origin.
I thought this comic was terrible! The story was vague and chopped all to Despondos. I feel the writer had no real understanding of what an origin is. An origin explains things. Gives you the back story of a character. Why they are the way they are and why they do the things they do. Yes Keldor was jealous of Randor. But what else? What turned him to the dark arts? How did he find out about Hordak and how did he learn to communicate with him? What was that blue Avatar like cord connecting him to the portal? What started the war? Why did he need Randors blood if they share the same blood? This story was a mess. The best thing I can say about it is that I liked the art.
Another effort-free "effort" from DC.
I long for the days when the property was handled by creative talent that had passion for the mythos...not just a writer and artist collecting a paycheck who are determined to "make their mark" on the property.
Not good at all.

As far as the deal between Hordak and Keldor. Cause it seemed like Hordak had other plans for the knife, it just seemed like the final trading component Keldor had to surrender in order to close the deal. The images don't really show him using the blood for the transformation rather as he is just holding it as a trophy. (Which is a very cool idea thrown in...)
If I would take anything from this (as I usually do to create my own theories) I would say that Hordak uses that blood for something far more sinister and devious that we have yet to see... (some ideas, ANTI-He-Man) anyone???
I don't think it's the BEST story for Keldor but it really had a few good ideas and has been better than everything DC has put out in regards to this current series of comics.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
I really want to like these comics but I simply can't. They don't feel like MOTU and the more I read the more I hate.
I want to give them a chance but I'm starting to question if I should continue buying them.
I don't like what DC is doing with MOTU.
This... When I read 200X comics, I still got the MOTU-vibe. Those comics had high quality artwork & stories. The DC stuff now is below average for my taste and is far away, from what I call MOTU... I enjoyed the new mini comics more...
- - - Updated - - -
I totally second this...
I agree Big Country, while I did enjoy the story, the effort just wasn't there, especially with some of the art. Just looked too amatuer in spots. I guess I can't really put my finger on it, though I do think I enjoyed it only becasue I love MOTU and this is as close as we are going to get at least for a while.
What's up with Hordak? He looks like some HR Giger monster wannabe.
Weekly hosted horror, sci-fi, suspense, and fantasy films!
On television scare-waves throughout Haunted New England
Well, Frazer Irving has his own signature style. You can say the same of an artist like Ben Templesmith.
It is not the clean superhero style.
I would love a MOTU one shot by Simon Bisley
Well, if we're fantasizing about great artists that are never going to work on MOTU, give me Bernie Wrightson!

I liked it. The dude that does I, Vampire teaming up with the dude that did The Shade? That's a win in my book.
I had preferred a unified style throughout the issue as well, but I wouldn't exactly call it amateurish. I'd say the art was more experimental if anything.
I'd love to see a visceral Bisley take on Masters of the Universe.
I'd be up for that one as well. His highly detailed, atmospheric pen-and-ink work is a joy to behold.
My personal favourite would have been the late Don Lawrence.
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
I am pretty sure most of the early work was mainly that, collecting paychecks. Working for a story to a toyline wasn't anyone's dream come true.
I really love old Alcala comics, but I am pretty sure they were just work for hire without specific artistic goals. But what you say does fit with Val & Emiliano's effort, as that was certainly with passion.
I downloaded the digital version on my iPhone, but Im looking to pick up a physical copy when I visit my local comic store on the weekend.
I thought the art was questionable in places and certainly not what I would have expected (Hordak looked very peculiar) but overall I still found the style satisfying. Albeit offbeat. It was quite atmospheric.
I liked the dialogue between Randor and Keldor, I think it had a lot of depth.
In part, Im just thrilled that MOTU is getting any sort of mainstream recognition that Im happily drinking the Kool-Aid without complaint. New ideas and fresh interpretations arent necessarily a bad thing though. Some people will like it, some wont. Im positive about the future personally.
This is probably the last MOTU comic I pick up. There wasn't one thing about it that I liked. I loved the three part mini comics, those felt like MOTU. Sorry, but this DC stuff is just horrible. Just my two pennies.
Im a creature of habit, so usually buy two of everything. I have no idea where Im going to put my second Castle Grayskull though.
Plus I dont feel I can truly judge the art by viewing it from my iPhone. So would prefer to hold the physical copy in my hands and fully absorb it the way a comic is intended.
Ive been collecting the new DC releases so far and see no reason to stop just yet.
OTHER PRIORITIES: Inspector Darkney Master Sebrian & Gleep Spyster Admiral Scurvey & Squall Starburst She-Ra Scratchin' Sound Catra Grot Caz & Drissi Crystal Moonbeam Crystal Sun Dancer Meliac NA Prince Adam Chef Allen Songster Scrollos Karg Kowla Red Eye
I dug the art and story structure in particular, though jamming the whole thing into 20 pages seems a bit rushed.
The main series, though, is pretty janky.
Whatever happened to "staying on-model"?

Cant tell if my other response went thru:
Lennox 7500
Rheem 7000
Both companies good bbb and good angieslist reviews. Both 10 yr parts. 3 yrs labor.
Both in business more than 10 yrs.
Recent air sealing and insulation done as part of home effeciency work.
House in maryland so extremes in all seasons. Large family so hvac always workin all day everyday.
Replacement system into existing ducts and lines
Apologies if this is a duplicate to a reply I sent a few mins ago. Am using phone so a bit error prone with this site
Thx for your help. I think these quotes are result of "best system without having to put in new ducting/exhaust.... " I specifically asked for something tjat could be as quiet as possible so thats why the systems have the dual speed blowers. Air return is next to major sitting area and am tired of the constant loud drone of current single max speed blower.
Would you recommend starting feom scratch with quotes on lesser costly units at this efficiency or just try to get them lower on the unit theyve quoted? I m speakimg specific to the rheem quote since I dont have anyrhimg more tham what I've already provided re th e lennox.
Since they are a rheem shop is their a particular com o of units from rheem you would recoomemd me inquiring about?
Thx again for your counsel. Emjoy your trip!
Hello again, since you want a quiet system, the ECM motor (electronically controlled motor) is in fact necessary... it is not a two speed motor. .. it is a motor with a more or less infinite range of speeds... in most situations they run very quietly... exceptions would be on very cold or very hot days when the system is forced to operate at absolute maximum out put...(less than 10 or 20 days a year, and for just a few hours in most cases) Look your paper work over and verify it is an ECM motor not just a two speed motor.The ECM motor by is what is driving the price up by about $1,100. but you do need it if you want an ultra quiet system.... the ECM motor allows more air to be moved through the possibly restrictive air ducts, and maximizes cooling performance in severely hot weather.Offer each contractor a cash deal at $800 less... the chances are good one of them will take it.Don't forget to verify your motor is an ECM type... for each quote.. that is important in this case.If you wish to rate my service to you now you can, and in that case I will hold the question open for you without any time limit so we can continue the discussion in the event you decide to go shopping for other quotes.Thanks!Phil
Thx. I'm going to confirm the ecm thing and try to get a lower price.... will let you know what happens :)

The Nearby Now plugin allows you to display your good customer reviews, check-in locations and photos, and a service area heat-map on any blog post or
Nearby Now for WordPress is an awesome way to add your real-time Nearby Now reviews and check-ins, along with an eye-catching interactive service area heat-map to your website. The plugin can be displayed in five ways:
Our most powerful shortcode, the service area and reviews combination map has three sections that are sure to improve local rankings and help convert visitors.

Spiritual Conspirators and Atheistic Lone Nuts
The horizontal and linear causation of natural science (at least above the quantum level) is fairly well understood, if not in essence, at least for practical purposes.
In the last two or three decades, science has also developed a greater appreciation of chaos and complexity, i.e., dynamic systems that are intrinsically unpredictable. Because of the multitude of variable causal inputs -- not to mention random noise -- there is no way to predict the behavior of the system in a deterministic way (for example, the weather, or the human brain).
The situation only becomes more challenging when we toss vertical causation into the mix, since science has no idea how the mind can affect the body in a top-down manner (let alone how the soul affects the mind), nor how the material body interacts with the immaterial mind. (And this is leaving aside the impossibility of natural processes ever being the "cause" of infinitely higher realities such as truth; nothing can be the cause of what transcends it.)
In fact, because of its own self-imposed limitations, this is an area that science as presently conceived will never understand. As it stands, science mostly deals with the problem by treating mind as an epiphenomenon of genetic and electrochemical processes.
In short, researchers apply what they think they understand to what they clearly don't, which ends in a mythological pseudo-science more primitive than phrenology. One thinks of the tenured mechanics who attempt to identify the "god part" of the brain. Why not the "bogus science part" of the brain?
Not only does the brain qualify as a quintessential dynamic system, but it contains so many billions of causal links that only a fool would suggest that it can be understood deterministically. Nevertheless, the fact of the matter remains that my immaterial self can conceive the idea of making a fist, and it happens. Somehow the idea is translated to will, which somehow enlists billions of nerve cells to get organized and instantaneously do its bidding.
In contrast, if I notice that my hand is in the shape of a fist, this does not send a signal to my brain that I should punch someone. Human beings are not causally closed systems. Nevertheless, there is clearly a two-way channel between psyche and soma. In fact, at birth -- and for a couple of years thereafter -- we do not have a clear concept of self. Rather, we start with a "body ego" that is more or less merged with the (m)other (or maternal environment).
Only gradually, through the slow process of separation and individuation, do we (some of us) develop an autonomous and unique self (note also that human uniqueness is absolutely inconsistent with any kind of reductionistic causality). But even then, the conscious self forever remains in a dialectical relationship to its unconscious -- or supraconscious -- ground. It's not as if we can ever leave the orbit of that wi(l)der world.
In his Keys of Gnosis, Bolton describes another dimension of causality, the cosmic law of "action and reaction," and how this relates to providence and fate.
Until modern times, religion often had more to do with the attempt to magically control external circumstances, an idea which became increasingly untenable with the rise of science. As a result, religion became more of an interior pursuit for extreme seekers, dealing less with material than spiritual reality.
Bolton provides a useful way to think through this dualism, and to steer a course between what amounts to deism -- that is, an impersonal God of the philosophers and mathematicians who merely got the universe underway, but has a hands-off policy thereafter; and the "cosmic bellhop" of popular mythology, i.e., a God who magically fulfills our every infantile wish like a liberal politician.
As Bolton points out, one cannot deny the fact that scripture makes numerous references to the law of action and reaction (henceforth, "the Law") -- that is, the idea that we reap what we sow, that those who live by the sword shall die by it, "forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors," etc. In a word, karma. The Bible is filled with references to karma -- that what goes around comes around, and that evil will be punished and good rewarded.
Obviously we all want this to be true, but is it true in fact? It seems that most people conclude that it can't possibly be true -- that everywhere the wicked flourish and the decent are punished. Therefore, in order to maintain the belief in a just cosmos, reward and punishment must take place on some post-mortem plane.
More generally, if the very nature of the universe proves to us that it must have been created, and that its creator must be good, then goodness must somehow prevail "in the end." Thus, the cosmos must be moral through and through, even if it's often in a very obscure way due to the hierarchical complexity of manifest existence, both spatially and temporally.
Furthermore, the cosmos is obviously not a machine and man is clearly free. If the cosmos were a machine, then we would see an immediate relationship between cause and effect on the moral plane. You'd do something bad, and a lightning bolt would come down and strike you from the sky.
But if morality operated in this instantaneous manner, then we wouldn't actually be morally free in any meaningful way. Rather, we'd just be good to avoid the punishment. We would not inhabit a moral space in which we are free to choose between good and evil, and no one would be good for goodness' sake, so there would be no Christmas presence.
It is interesting that materialists naturally accept the existence of cause and effect on the material plane. And yet, they deny the possibility of anything similar on the moral plane, which is one more reason why their metaphysic is so feeble.
But if we turn the cosmos upside down -- which is to say, right side up -- then we can see that material cause and effect is simply the "residue" of the first cause, which must be above, not below. One cannot derive free will from materialism, but one can derive matter from a freely willed universe. And as Bob mentioned yesterday, humans can only exercise freedom in a universe that has a stable foundation, so to speak, i.e., predictable boundary conditions (which include moral laws).
I think most senior Raccoons will have noticed that as one comes into closer proximity to O (so to speak), one also "shortens" the distance between cause and effect on the moral plane.
As one is drawn more deeply into the Great Attractor beam, the web of synchronicities becomes more dense, and the Law becomes more apparent. Something happens to time, whereby it "thickens," and we begin to intuit all sorts of causal connections operating along different, immaterial timelines. Eventually it begins to look as if our life were more of an airy-tale conSpiracy (↓↑) than the breathless workings of a lone nut (•).
