Sometimes the process of choosing an excellent structured settlement company can be a tricky one. No one wants to put their trust in a particular company only to end up disappointed. You want a company that is not only genuinely intends to assist you, but also one that has a decent reputation.
Although even a new company can be just as reliable as an old one, an older, more experienced structured settlement buyer is always a safer bet. This is because it has more history, and therefore more experience than a relatively new company.
Stone Street Capital Review
Stone Street Capital is known settlement buyer. The company has been in this business since 1989 and has spent over $2.5 billion in settling structured payments for its clients.
If you are looking to sell your structured settlement, Stone Street Capital is one of those companies that are worth considering. Situated in Bethesda, Maryland, the company has a great track record of customizing flexible options and helping individuals who want to convert their future payments into lump sums to be paid immediately.
Stone Street Capital also has annuity purchase programs for financial planners, insurance agents, advisors, brokers and producers or any other parties that want to receive cash for structured payments, whether the structured payments are from court awards, annuity payments, lawsuit settlements or casino and lottery prizes.
Here are some of the reasons why Stone Street Capital is worth looking at:
- Experience: Having been in the business of structured settlements for over 27 years, Stone Street Capital has stood the test of time. The company issues almost 400 transactions every year and has bought off more than $2.5 billion in structured payment streams.
- Customer service: Everyone wants to deal with a company that is happy to provide any assistance. Stone Street Capital prides itself in providing a high level of customer service. Customers who visit the company's website will have any questions answered immediately through the website's chat feature.
- Wealth of resources: The company's vast resources and strong financial position make it a tremendous direct funder. It also puts the company in a great place to be able to comfortably purchase structured payments and pay clients in good time.
- Stable management structure: The company CEO, Adam Shapiro, has been in the position for over 15 years. The company's executive team is also one of the most tenured in the structured settlements industry. Since 2007, Stone Street Capital has been under the ownership of New World, a Long Island-based financial conglomerate.
Bottom line
At the end of the day, the most important thing is to do enough due diligence before settling on one particular company. This will give you the best shot at ensuring that you get the most out of the structured settlement. Stone Street Capital definitely ticks a lot of the right boxes.

Irish Blogger Gathering: Converting the Unconvertable
Domer Law brings the questions this week and I bring the answers from an Einstein Bagel in Chicago while I wait for my ride to South Bend/Tailgate-a-geddon/Notre Dame-Southern Cal. Let's get to it.
1. I'm taking an old friend of mine to the USC game. They were born and raised in South Bend near Notre Dame, and developed a dislike for the University at a young age from dealing with the frustrations and messes that come from Notre Dame home football weekends. She's never been to a Notre Dame game before (she's an Ohio State fan). We're going to go tailgate and do all the usual tailgating stuff. Any suggestions on what I could do to help her let go of her animosity towards Notre Dame?
I hate to be the one who breaks this to you, but she's a Buckeye fan. She's not salvageable. But for the sake of denial, let's pretend she can be saved. Take a trip to The Grotto (soften the heart out of the gate) followed by a raging tailgate where she can bond with Irish fans over a mutual hatred of Michigan. Finding things you have in common breaks down barriers. My boys and I will be under the giant "Yard Sale" flag next to Legends with all the Michigan hate in the world to share with her if you need a hand.
2. On a related note, do you have any suggestions for improving the Notre Dame game weekend experience generally? Are there traditions lost that you'd like to see restored, or new ideas that you'd like to see implemented to improve the gameday experience?
I love gameday at Notre Dame, but my biggest beef with the experience of the entire weekend has been the completely obliteration of the pep rally. The "Rally on the Green" is indescribably horrendous and embarrassing. The administration has officially waved the white flag on having students play a role in it or caring an iota about it. It's catered to little kids—which is not the way it should be—and it's outdoors—which is terrible.
One of the best moments of the weekend used to be when the band flooded into the JACC through the tunnels blasting the Victory March. In my eyes it officially kicked off a Notre Dame football weekend. It was worth sitting through the rest of the rally—no matter how good or bad it was (and it was usually bad)—just for those two minutes.
3. (a) USC is (and always will be) our biggest rival. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? And if you agree, why do you feel that this is such an important rivalry? (b) Rank your top 10 college football rivalries and provide justifications for each.
There will be others that arise in spurts that will be more meaningful in the moment than Southern Cal (ex: Miami in the late 80's), but over time the Trojans will always be our chief rival. The history runs incredibly deep, laced with heartbreaks and glorious triumphs on both sides. Memorable contests cement great rivalries and there isn't another opponent in Notre Dame's long history that's delivered as many as Southern Cal. The Irish victories in '73 and '77 are two of the most celebrated victories of all-time while the '64 and '05 losses are almost undoubtedly the two most heartbreaking losses in school history.
Top 10 Rivalries
These are the ten rivalries that I'll go out of my way to make sure I watch every year:
Army-Navy...I mean, come on.
Ohio State-Michigan...Far and away the biggest game in the Big Ten.
Texas-Texas A&M...Always an entertaining contest on Thanksgiving weekend. Way to ruin it, Aggies.
Oregon-Oregon State...Love the Civil War.
Alabama-Auburn...Roll Tide.
Clemson-South Carolina...There is an underrated amount of hate in this rivalry which is so necessary.
UCF-UConn...brought to you by the braintrust of the Big East Conference.
Georgia-Georgia Tech...Any game called "Good Ol' Fashioned Hate" is worth watching.
Oklahoma-Oklahoma St...Bedlam.
Oklahoma-Texas...Loses points because it's always at a neutral site.
4. Southern Cal is 5-1, with their only loss on the road at Arizona State. They are unranked, sitting right behind us in the "also receiving votes" category. How good is Southern Cal this year? How do you see this game playing out?
They're very middle of the road, way down by Southern Cal standards. There are still studs on both sides of the ball, but for the first time in over a decade Notre Dame has a clear advantages in the trenches on offense and defense. If both teams play their best game, the Trojans cannot keep up with the Irish. It felt so good to type that.
That being said, Notre Dame displayed an otherworldly ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the first two weeks of the season. Southern Cal is far better than South Florida and Michigan and is more than capable of walking into Notre Dame Stadium and leaving with a victory.
That's not happening on this night though.
As much as I'd like to see Notre Dame blow the doors off Southern Cal and rub Lane Kiffin's face in the turf, I think it'll be a close game where we get down early due to a stupid mistake or two and have to claw back. David Ruffer snaps back and drills three field goals that prove to be the difference. Notre Dame 23, Southern Cal 20.
5. It appears that with a win over USC, we'll re-enter the Top 25 rankings. Now that we're halfway through the season and have some actual evidence available to us from real games, how do you see the rest of the season playing out? Predict:
(a) Notre Dame's final record (indicating where we will lose if at all) – 10-2…I think Stanford is overrated and that's the only team other than So Cal that can scare us.
(b) Notre Dame's bowl destination, opponent and outcome – Fiesta Bowl vs Boise…Notre Dame 34, Boise State 33
(c) The BCS Championship game and result – Alabama 31, Oklahoma 13
(d) Notre Dame's final AP ranking – #6
(e) The winners of the major awards, including:
(i) Heisman Trophy – Trent Richardson
(ii) Home Depot Coach of the Year - Dabo Swinney
(iii) Davey O'Brien Award (best QB) – Kellen Moore
(iv) Doak Walker Award (best RB) – Trent Richardson
(v) Fred Biletnikoff Award (best WR) – Ryan Broyles
(vi) Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive player) - Donta Hightower

We are spiritual beings going towards a human experience, not the other way around.
Life is designed to be exploratory , to get into experiences . The mind has a need for certainty but it also has a need for variety. They are conflicting intrinsically.
The mind more often than not takes us towards security but then security can be suffocating , inhibiting. We become dead, inert.
Each of usd seeks to come alive in what we do, in the way we relate to everyone and everything in life.
To operate as a spiritual being is achoice we make to live rather than exist.And it comes with it's challenges.We invest in it because we chose life over dead habit and monotony – meaningless and boring…..

10-minute poems
Monday, December 8, 2014 at 8:45PM
Take a pen,
set your minute timer to ten
and catch your words like fleeing dreams,
new butterflies in this child's gentle net
meeting for the first time friend to friend,
already beautifully grown
but not quite finished yet,
still awkward,
still a little wet,
summoned to your party unprepared;
even you don't know what you intend.
And when the clock runs down
play darts or walk the dog.
Come back tomorrow to redact.
Let today's words dry in warming sun,
the introductions over,
the hardest part now done.

I have two problems with LablTk : - I want to prevent a window from being destroyed by the WM : it's a pretty long to build window, and I'd like to hide it instead of actually destroy it when the user clicks on the delete button of the window manager. It's easy to do in some langages such as Java, but I can't find the way to do it with Labltk. - I want to use a button to destroy a window. But I can't do Button.create win ~text:"Close" ~command:(fun _ -> destroy win) since when the destroy function starts, the button, which belongs to win, is in use and prevents to destroy its parent win. There is a specific function (i.e. Tk_EventuallyFree) in Tcl/Tk to handle such cases, but I don't know how to do with LablTk. What I'm currently doing is to put the destroying function in a Timer callback, to destroy the window .1s after the button has been released, but it's not very safe...

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the peanut butter: Blend together the peanuts, oil and salt in a food processor or blender until you get a silky texture. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices. Spread 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons of the peanut butter on 1 slice of bread, and then layer on the sriracha, basil, curry powder and marmalade. Close the sandwich and grill until the bread is golden brown on the bottom, then flip and grill the other side. Reserve any remaining peanut butter in an airtight container for another use.

It goes without saying that CES 2015 provided attendees with abundant technology and gadgets; so much so that I left with a long wish list for myself and my husband. The show itself is where tech enthusiasts to to discover the best of the best while getting a sneak peek at future technologies. This year, I was thrilled to see technology expand into the beauty world.
Panasonic Beauty captured the attention of many attendees, both men and women, as they showed off their Beauty Bar filled with technology and beauty gadgets all while giving people a chance to test their products and put their feet up – a much desired luxury at CES. While Panasonic had a lot to show off, I was most impressed with two beauty tools that improved the feel and look of my hair.
Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer
My hair seems to always dry out, which leads to split ends and uneven hair lengths. The Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer, uses cutting edge technology to deliver salon quality results for a retail price of $130. Beauties and fashionistas know that beauty does not come for cheap and this price is well within the normal price range of top of the line hair dryers but with a clear benefit.
The stylist worked with my normally dry and frizzy hair and after drying it with the Nanoe Hair Dryer, my hair felt bouncy and soft to the touch. The Nanoe technology infuses moisture into my hair at a level I had never known, 1000 times more than a typical ion, and thus prevents cuticle damage.
Panasonic Nanoe Flat Iron
By this point in my Panasonic beauty treatment I was feeling like a new woman – relaxed with beautiful hair. My stylist then proceeded to finish my hair by styling it with the Panasonic Nanoe Flat Iron. While I typically avoid using an iron because they quickly damage my ends, my stylist assured me that the Nanoe technology would again infuse my hair with moisture and that it would feel full and soft after styling.
Let's just say the results were as promised and I have two new tools to add to my beauty bag.

The hill resort of Dhulikhel lies 32 km to the east of Kathmandu on the Arniko Highway that leads to Tibet. In the old days, Dhulikhel flourished as a trading center handling commerce between Kathmandu and Lhasa. Today, it delights visitors with its enchanting cultural heritage and stunning Himalayan views.
Dhulikhel (population 9,812 and altitude 1,440 m) is a small town with a long history. Records show that it has been around for more than 500 years. The artistic skill and urban ethos of its Newar inhabitants have created a place of charm and beauty. streets lined with bare-brick houses, carved wooden windows, sloping tile roofs, pagoda temples and sacred statues everywhere. You will think you have wandered into a cultural theme park.
The major places of worship here are the Narayan and Harisiddhi temples which are adorned with profuse wood carvings. The Gokhureswar Mahadev temple, a 30-minute walk to the eastern part of town, is a peaceful and scenic spot. The Bhagwati temple is situated at a height in the western part of Dhulikhel and dominates the skyline. From here, you can get a beautiful vista of the town and surrounding areas.
There are many vantage points in Dhulikhel which offer a panorama of the Himalaya that will leave you spellbound. Looking out over low hills and valleys, the mountains rise up in an extended arc stretching from the far left to the far right. More than 20 Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna (8,091 m), Ganesh (7,429 m), Langtang (7,234 m), Phurbi-Chyachu (6,637 m), Gauri Shanker (7,134 m) and Lhotse (8,516 m) can be seen in all their glory. You should get up early in the morning to watch the first rays of the sun hit the summits and their colors change. Sunset views are equally spectacular.
The most popular activity for visitors in Dhulikhel is doing nothing. For something more strenuous, we recommend bird watching. You can sit back in your hotel garden and admire the winged creatures fluttering from tree to tree. The forests around Dhulikhel harbor many species of exotic birds and observing them is a wonderful pastime.
For adventurers, there's hiking around the countryside, visiting nearby pilgrimage sites and mountain biking. Walking trails pass through Tamang villages and terraced fields providing you an insight into rural Nepal. The shrine of Namura or Namo Buddha, where the Buddha in a past life is said to have offered his own flesh to a starving tigress, is four-five hours on foot. The center of attraction at the village of Panauti (two-four hours' walk) is the temple of Indreswar Mahadev, the oldest existing pagoda structure in the Kingdom.
Mountain biking is a joy with hill trails and rough roads radiating in all directions from Dhulikhel. Some popular routes are Dhulikhel-Panauti-Dhulikhel, Dhulikhel-Banepa-Nala-Dhulikhel and Dhulikhel-Namura-Dapcha-Panauti-Banepa-Dhulikhel. Rafting on the Sun Koshi river, 25 km away, is another exciting diversion.Resort Hotels In Dhulikhel

Stop n swop was not implemented or even hinted at so that's gone it seems. Would have been nice seeing as though it's a banjo Kazooie successor.

Movie Review
By: Felix Felicis (A Toast)-
Ahhhh the 90's, how do I adore thee? Let me count the ways… You gave us slap bracelets, Lisa Frank, Backstreet Boys, and cult classic after cult classic film. Srssly, I could crush and snort a line of some of the most beloved nostalgia of our generation (in-between killing a Tamagotchi and not kissing people on the mouth) no sweat. Hocus Pocus is one of a number in that pantheon; an adorable, family-friendly gem you could watch every Halloween with the kids OR while getting drunk and dressing your dog in different superhero outfits before dry-humping a traffic cone and passing out in the shower, crying in the fetal position (for the single folk).
Hocus Pocus follows a recent Salem transplant, Omri Katz as "Max", as he tries to be a cool kid at school, crush on the foxy Vinessa Shaw's "Allison" and dodge school bullies, Larry Bagby's "Ice" and Tobias Jelinek's "Jay", all while trying to avoid taking his totes adorbs little sister, Thora Birch's "Dani", trick-or-treating. What's a player to do? Go to a creepy old witch's house and resurrect them from the dead, then try to stop them from sucking the life force from every child in town with the help of said little sister, hot piece of ass and, oh yeah, immortal talking cat, Sean Murray's "Binx"? Only obviously. Will Max defeat the evil trio (Bette Midler's "Winifred", Seabiscuit's I mean Sarah Jessica Parker's "Sarah" and Kathy Najimy's "Mary")? Will he score the girl and save the day? Will MC Hammer ever get to touch that? We can only hope.
A Toast
Cards on the table, I'm Lindsay Lohan pre-seventh-visit-to-rehab drunk right now so strap on your beer goggles and go on this Disney adventure with me. While not overly acclaimed upon it's release (and with mixed reviews) Hocus Pocus didn't exactly blow the hinges off 1993 BUT fast forward twenty-one years later and it's a cult classic in the Halloween Mafia, calling the shots and capping some asses with DVD/Blu Ray sales not to mention it's annual dominating cable run the month of Spooktober. And there's a reason. With big guns Bette Midler (whose Winifred was a menacing, buck-toothed Kewpie doll JUST scary enough), Sarah Jessica Parker (who's Sarah was vapid and absolutely channeled a dealer's choice Kardashian intellect) and Kathy Najimy (who's slight-stroke-victim Mary was charmingly evilish), the chemistry hinging on the lead trio is engaging and relatable. You love to hate them and you kind of think like maybe one or two fewer kids in the world *cough* Honey Boo Boo *cough* would be worth keeping those bitches in circulation for shits and giggles alone.
The rest of the cast, while wading through moderate levels of family-themed schmaltz at times, performed well enough that the dated 90's slang was hilarious instead of anytime someone makes me look at Facebook photos of their kid, I mean listening to someone other than me talk, I mean fucking annoying. It's cute. It's charming. It's got a kickass B. Midler musical number in the middle PLUS the added bonus of humor, surprising moments of tension, and a resolution (while predictable) that'll satisfy even the hardest-hearted bastard. The special effects hold up well for twenty-one years of wear and tear and, aside from the slightly dated dialogue, it could've been made today. Hocus Pocus is the quintessential family (or anyone) film and I watch it every Halloween in-between building a moat to ward off trick-or-treaters and lacing Snickers with LSD for the ones that make it to the door.
Hocus Pocus is a heartwarming, family-friendly film appropriate for all ages and levels of sobriety. Grab a beer. Grab your guy (or girl) and huff some 90's nostalgia with me. Much like making out with that random at the bar, odds are low you'll regret it. Trust me, I'm a *doctor (*not a doctor).

How do you develop a positive attitude? The key is to learn to be nicer to yourself. Here are some tips to help you gradually change and develop a positive attitude.
Self-Help Tools: To develop a positive attitude, we are going to use the following tools: gratitude, positive thinking, and affirmations.
"Being kind to myself. If that were a friend talking to me with that nasty voice saying that I wasn't good enough, I wasn't skinny enough, I wasn't beautiful enough, I wouldn't be a friend to that person." Mariel Hemingway
What are you saying to yourself?
Take a couple of days (no more than two or else you will need quick tips for procrastination) to pay attention to what you are thinking about when it comes to yourself, your finances, your career or job, your friends, family, coworkers and strangers you meet. Write down exactly what you think of. Try not to focus on the obvious, yes, you love some of these people, but what do you say about them in your head.
Take a Personal Accounting
What type of people, situations, and surroundings do you want in your life? Take a look around, if you are not living the life you envisioned for yourself, then it is time to attract what you want in your life. Take the list you have just created and change your negative, self-defeating thoughts to positive, self-affirming and empowering thoughts.
Use your Self-help Tools
When you pay your bills, say to yourself "I have received perfect service for that which I am paying. I send out this check with blessings, and the money shall return to me tenfold. I thank you."
Positive Thinking
When you run into someone that annoys you, don't think, "Ah! Here is that annoying person," think. "I am going to have a great conversation," or think, "I am so grateful that this will be short and sweet."
Use the awesome art of positive self-talk in the form of affirmations. You will get to say super positive things to yourself like, I am happy, I weigh X pounds, my husband is amazing; my wife is happy and content, I am so grateful for the abundance in my life.
Focus on your Emotions
Focus on how you will feel when you have the things you desire. Use your positive emotions to boost your self-help tools, it will work wonder in your life.
Remember to use these tools when you find yourself spiraling into a vortex of negative thinking. You must be vigilant of your thoughts because if you like it or not your thoughts create your life.
Once you develop a positive attitude, you will have just gotten one of the most important keys to manifesting the life you desire.
I wish you all the very best and many gloriously happy thoughts.

Teerts was willing to lay down his life for his emperor, the emperor, but not for the parvenu big ugly who claimed the same title. Donovan paused, and then very slowly nodded his head, did you. She spoke in a very, very small voice. Her iron gray hair was drawn severely back; her cold face, with its strong vertical lines marked off by the horizontal gash of the pale, thin lipped mouth, turned intensely upon him. I will consider that a supreme honor. There are some other men here. Cathy blurted out. It was, after all, the reason he had released serin rajak to rouse anger against magic.

Hello list,
I set up node.js, I installed amber, I did amber init and I told my
computer to serve amber content. So far so good. I am seeing the amber
default page, and after convincing my browser(s), that hell won't break
loose if they show a popup window from localhost, I am finally looking
at Helios. Great.
Now the part, that leaves me something between annoyed and embarassed: I
can't figure out how to commit my changes. I get it to save, I see that
the packages shows unsaved changes by showing a red icon and all. But
once I reload, my changes are gone. Germans say that must be tomatoes on
my eyes. Did I really miss the part in the tutorials and getting started
guides that say "And, oh boy, that's how you ensure how not to be
forgotten: <insert procedure>"?
Best regards,

Fashion models could differ in one particular person to a new due to numerous reasons. It may as a result of person's era, style, sexual category, price range, the matter or even environmental surroundings.
Variation of Style and Fashion among Teenagers and Older People
Older people would rather put on garments products having conventional color pattern precisely when these people are at the job since these garments generally showcase a formal look. They also vary on their hair styles or even on how they will acquire hair done. Teenagers tend to be susceptible to become influenced by simply best selling magazines, popular famous people, and motion pictures along with their close friends in comparison to older people. They like to put on far more vibrant garments along with equipment which can be precisely a contradiction to what older people put on.
The effect of environment on Individual`s Style and Fashion
The environmental surroundings could also have an effect on your vogue style. Even when someone enjoys an effective style, it is inescapable that will he/she should be inside functions where by he/she have to liven up, put on crazy fancy dress outfits along with needs to come out from their level of comfort. These kinds of functions may well reference Trick or treat events, masquerade projectiles and also other gatherings. With these functions, you yourself have to fit inside environment along with liven up using the design of the get together.
Staying stylish along with classy will not constantly imply that someone need to comply with the newest vogue style. At times, it indicates that you have to be different and discover the particular vogue style that will matches your personality properly.

I hear this time of year, many of you are skipping red and white meat and substituting it with fish. You know who else eats fish? ME! I love fish! My people originate from the Orinoco River in Venezuela where a large part of our diet is fish! Eating fish is a great, low-fat way to get protein, along with other healthy nutrients for brain and body.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm pretty passionate about sustainable seafood. Naturally, it is in my own interest to compel others to choose seafood that has been harvested or farmed in a way that will leave plenty behind for my kin and neighbors, who also rely on seafood. But sustainable seafood is also important to the health of our oceans, lakes, and rivers, and believe it or not, affects you too!
You see, sustainable seafood isn't about limiting seafood choices. Organizations like Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch© and Marine Stewardship Council assess fishing and farming practices so that you can make a choice that is healthiest for the environment and your family. Lemme break it down…
Whether it's wild-caught or farmed/aquaculture seafood, the goal of sustainable seafood is to be sure that during fishing or farming, the ecosystem isn't harmed and populations of fish aren't depleted. In addition to looking at how fishing or farming practices affect seafood populations and the environment, sustainable seafood programs assess how healthy different varieties of fish are for humans to eat. For example, many varieties of seafood have high mercury content and that is no bueno for the ol' thinker. Other fish may have high levels of other toxins so it may be recommended to avoid them for a while. Now, I bet you're asking yourself, how do those toxins get there? I'll give you a hint…humans.
So how do you choose sustainable seafood for the remaining Fridays in Lent and beyond? Here are some steps:
Use the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch© guide to identify best choices for sustainable seafood.
Yes, there's an app for that.
You can also look for the Marine Stewardship Council logo on seafood you are purchasing.
It looks like this:
Shop at stores that have committed to carrying only sustainable seafood.
Like Target, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods
Speak up!
Ask restaurants and seafood counters at your grocery store: "Is your seafood sustainable?" When businesses hear their customers voicing concern, they will listen & act!
Alright, humans, you know what to do next! Find me, @CandidCroc, on Twitter and Instagram and share your thoughts. Tweet or tag me on Instagram with a screen shot of your downloaded Seafood Watch app and I'll give you a high-five! Happy eating!

Comerica Bank's California Index Increases
Dec 05, 2017, 11:00 ET
DALLAS, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank's California Economic Activity Index grew by 0.2 percent in September to 121.2. September's reading is 23 points, or 24 percent, above the index cyclical low of 97.8. The index averaged 118.6 points in 2016, two and three-tenths points above the average for all of 2015. August's index reading was revised down to 120.9.
Comerica Bank's California Economic Activity Index increased in September, reversing August's losses. After an inconsistent spring and summer hiring season, the state posted consecutive monthly job gains in September and October. California job gains have firmed overall in the second half of 2017, adding a net 160,000 jobs from July to October. Ongoing improvements in the state's labor market will support the California economy through year end 2017. The September index results were mostly positive, with five out of eight sub-indexes improving for the month. The positives were nonfarm employment, unemployment insurance claims (inverted), house prices, total state trade and the Dow Jones Tech Stock Index. The two negative factors for the month were industrial electricity demand and hotel occupancy. Housing starts were unchanged for the month. We expect the California economy to grow at a moderate pace as it navigates the uncertainty surrounding tax reform. Congressional republicans hope to have a final tax bill to President Trump by the end of the year. Corporations are expected to benefit from lower tax rates. However, uncertainty remains on the individual side of tax reform and its impact on household spending. In particular, the final standing of the mortgage interest deduction, the state and local tax deduction and the alternative minimum tax is unknown. These issues may be more impactful in high income states like California.
The California Economic Activity Index consists of eight variables, as follows: nonfarm payroll employment, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, housing starts, house price index, industrial electricity sales, total trade, technology stock index and hotel occupancy. All data are seasonally adjusted. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.
Comerica Bank, with locations in the key California markets of San Francisco and the East Bay, San Jose, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento, Santa Cruz/Monterey, and the Inland Empire, is a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA). Comerica is a financial services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and strategically aligned into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth Management. Comerica focuses on relationships and helping businesses and people be successful.

text: This method is known to cure many ills and woes for ANY rom update. (I need to update this for Gingerbread steps, but backup/reset/restore cures the same things in Gingerbread that it cured in Froyo.) This last weekend during the pre-release (7/30/2010) we learned a LOT about Froyo on the EVO by exhaustively searching down every problem. Here's the simple story for any number of bugs, erratic behavior and incessant up time. I've been asked many times - is this still a good procedure if I already have Froyo? Yes. This is a good procedure for any upgrade or app-tangling where spurious issues crop up. This is NOT to going to solve all problems for 100% of you - but - I'm very confident that it will for most of you, as in - OVER 95%. It will NOT fix these classes or types of defects: http://androidforums.com/android-applications/141536-pandora-slacker-users-please-star-bug.html GMail non-primary account not syncing/notifying in real time This one _might_ be solved with this workaround Google speaks up on GMail with Froyo My personal approach to mail Any apps that are known to have Froyo issues. This is usually the hard step, because it requires you to check the comments against your installed apps - that's not tough per se, but it can be time consuming if you have a lot of apps. Go to Market, your downloads, inspect each apps comments if you continue to have doubts and need to be sure. At least the new Market app gives a Comments tab, making this job easier. The worst case is starting over, installing apps one by one until the culprit is found. MANY users found Facebook 1.3 seems to have been the culprit on their machines (Dead Link) - another user found it was a wallpaper app. There is one pathological class that is making no sense that we're trying to track down; at least two people are finding a runaway CPU, takes-forever-charging, and no battery staying power EVEN AFTER FOLLOWING THIS METHOD - and in one case at least only using stock apps! This may or may not be limited only to PC-USB charging however. We're working together to solve this one. My personal latest guess is on the SD card - but - I know this was seen and solved for 2.1 but I cannot find that thread for love nor money. Was it a reformat to FAT32 from a PC? If you know the answer, please post it in this thread!!!! Found this! I'm not expert as to whether to format on phone or using PC - there's some controversy on this, but using the phone to format the SD card DOES make sense. Possible Swype fixes - or anything specific to some app's idiosyncrasies A corrupted 2.2 update file. This is insanely rare, but not unheard of, and has been reported to have happened at XDA. This is insanely rare. Here's the deal - the updates do not have a lot of defects - aside from the above list - it has essentially one big one. The cache / data areas are tangled up. As you run things over time, your cache - the area where lots of things get worked from - has gotten all tangled up. Just like your web browser has a cache, Android has data and cache areas - once tangled up, all sorts of symptoms appear. The solution is simple: Backup Factory reset / wipe data Restore 1. Backup Backup is important with every phone. First and foremost, ensure the Google servers are up to date with your contact and calendar data. Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Sync all. If you are using any third party apps for this sort of thing, or corporate servers or Exchange accounts - be sure that your contacts and other information is appropriately synced. Verify that your contacts are on the Google server. Yes - do that! If your chosen backup method will support it - next go to Menu -> Settings -> Personalize -> Scenes -> Menu and this will save your 7-desktop layout. If you've got 5 bucks and you're not rooted, get MyBackup Pro, it should backup everything you care about. Another good alternative is Sprite Backup plus ASTRO used at the same time. If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup - backup your user apps, desktop, Mail, and everything marked with "Titanium." If you're not comfortable with the above, you can backup your apps for free using ASTRO File Manager, free from the Market. Once you have it, go to Menu-> Tools. Here's a thread on ASTRO, wish I'd found it earlier! http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/113593-im-leaving-appbrain.html If you've never done this before - NOW at this point would be a good time to back up your SD card to your PC. Simple select all, then drag and drop into a clean folder onto your PC via USB should do the trick. This isn't required - but you can never have too much backup protection. Added - SMS Backup&Restore - free version (Market) will back up texts, paid will do MMS, too. 2. Factory reset Once you have your backup, goto Menu-> Settings-> SD & phone storage -> Factory reset. You WILL lose your installed apps. You WILL lose your local logins and accounts unless you use a better backup than free - but you're likely to not lose much. (If you're synced to the google servers - and you should be - you'll still have your contacts and calendar entries.) You will NOT lose your SD card contents. (But be safe and back it up to a PC as noted above.) You will NOT lose your 2.2 update. Do the factory reset. 3. Restore CORRECT Behavior *and then* Your Stuff When finished - download the free Network app from the Market. (Network by Philipp Mangelow) Start it, and scroll down until you see "CDMA auto (PRL)" - change it to "GSM auto (PRL)" - exit Network; re-start Network then change back to "CDMA auto (PRL)" - and finally, go to Menu-> Settings-> System updates-> Update PRL This sounds like majick snake oil but it's not - it's an idiosyncrasy of the phone's hardware and firmware. Depending upon your particular apps and backup tool, you may be required to add this step, so now is a good time (if you're uncomfortable with this, you can do it if and when required): Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources (check on to allow non-Market apps) Now, go to the Market and download again the tool you used for your backup. NOW restore your backups by reversing your chosen tool. DO NOT re-install full Flash 10 for 2.1 if you had that before. Consider NOT re-installing LED Light, the included Flashlight is really better. DO NOT re-install any task killers or cleaners. At least one user has found that if this doesn't work and issues remain, then power up your phone while holding down the volume-down key. This gives a menu that includes an option to Wipe/Clear all data from the phone. Use that by navigating with the volume buttons and selecting it with the power button. Use the menu to reboot when done. 4. Stock Browser Note When you're done, you may still notice browser slowdowns from before. This is easily fixed. Menu-> ... More -> Settings -> Clear cache Settings -> Enable plugins :: change from always on to just on-demand. This will prevent your browser from caching all of the Flash content it can find. This will also require you to tap on a green icon in flash videos and that sort of thing. This is a user-choice for how you want YOUR browser to behave. 5. Et cetera, et cetera It seems that when you do this, Talk may be set back to auto-login on startup. If you're not a big Talk believer, you might want to shut that off to conserve battery life. You'll find it in your app drawer. Likewise ou can also turn off Background data under Settings -> Accounts & sync. The cool thing now is there is a widget, available under Shortcut -> Settings for your desktop that'll take you right to that page whenever you want, conveniently, like when you want to go to the Market, for example. Talk has some controversy as to whether it can impede instant notifications for GMail - and many people are uncomfortable with background data for any number of reasons - I'm just no longer sure, so this is more "customization how-to" rather than strict advice or anything. By the way - there's a Sync All widget now, under Widgets, for your desktop that does just what the name says. Best of all - you can have background data and auto-sync off, use that new Sync All widget from time to time - and they stay off. I'd also like to note this specific advice if your Sense launcher is force closing and not letting you get anywhere - FIX: "The Application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly" Note well that the article ends suggesting you may have to follow this post's procedure. Yes, do. There's also a note at XDA warning to turn off your LED notifications. That's under Settings -> Display. The new default is for all of them to be on - and this is said to cause some process to run, draining some battery life. Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks - ensure that "Enable always-on mobile data" is not enabled (not checked). Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Roaming -> Sprint only And finally - Sprint Zone - turn off its auto-login and any notifications it wants to send, unless you really have some use for it. 6. Summary I've started this thread to help out with the many threads for people with problems. Please keep this thread clean, and only respond if you're having trouble with the procedure. From the smallest bug to the largest - this is best advice you're likely to ever get with your EVO. Finally - and this is VERY important: If you're using a task killer or cleaner, stop for the moment, and uninstall it. The task-killing protocols for Froyo are NOT the same as they were for 2.1. And Froyo is so much better at memory management - AFTER you've done a factory reset and cleaned out your cache / data tangles - you're not going to believe. Try your new Froyo for a few days like this and then and only then if you're still convinced that you need a task killer, go for it. But not because of the number of tasks running - wait and see if you don't already have better performance than before. Hope this helps, thanks in advance for your help in keeping this thread clean. PS - This advice is the result of the efforts of too many people to name individually who pulled together in this forum since last Friday's pre-release of Froyo. They know who they are, and without their efforts this knowledge would not have been possible. I thank them, one and all, on my behalf and yours. PPS - This advice is for the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint and may not apply to all devices. Definitely do NOT follow this procedure if you're using a Motorola Droid X and are on Verizon. ~~~~~~~~ Totally by coincidence, this thread you're reading came after another good one on the same subject and these have evolved in parallel. See Also: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/141047-strange-anomalies-after-ota-solution-hard-reset.html ~~~~~~~~~~~ See also this VERY interesting post regarding your Google account and whether it is contributing to a sleep-time issue! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762078 ~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's a vid showing contacts backup and factory reset by a fellow Evo owner later in this thread: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-support-troubleshooting/141369-how-fix-froyo-4.html#post2659554

No, the yelling inside the Bangor Area School District board room Tuesday night wasn't as loud as the thunderstorm outside. It just seemed that way.
No, the yelling inside the Bangor Area School District board room Tuesday night wasn't as loud as the thunderstorm outside. It just seemed that way.
Amid acrimony and accusations that the administration held figures too close to the vest, school board members passed a $49.2 million proposed budget that increases taxes by 2.2 percent, a disappointment to conservative board members who made a stand for cuts.
Bangor's 2012-13 budget uses more than $144,000 from district reserves, a concession to the reality that taxes can't be raised more and further reductions will be difficult to pass.
"We don't have a lot left to cut," Superintendent Patricia Mulroy said.
But Tuesday's meeting gave little clarity as to what those cuts will actually look like. Business Manager Steve Wiencek gave directors four columns of choices, ranging from the mild — cutting a bus — to the extreme — no French, no kindergarten and no elementary music.
The administration's preferred proposal combines the 2.2 percent tax increase with a menu of mild cuts, slicing off a few positions through attrition, rejiggering teachers among schools and eliminating in-school suspensions, among others. The biggest savings would come from eliminating the district's director-of-curriculum position, recouping $105,000.
Options to get the district's tax increase to zero are more drastic. Eliminating kindergarten and elementary music would save the district $900,000, administration figures showed. Also on the chopping block are three custodians, several tax rebates and high school wood shop.
Hold a second, directors said: Eliminating these programs hasn't even been discussed. Most board members showed little appetite for the deepest cuts.
But a few cast an approving eye, saying it is high time the district posted a zero percent tax increase — or even lower.
Midway through the meeting, Director Ken Brewer loudly moved to lower the maximum tax increase the board could consider to 1.5 percent. If he had his druthers, they'd start there and cut lower.
"We could've got this to zero way back," he said. "That should have been on the table."
"If not now, when?" added Director Mike Goffredo, repeating his perennial budget-time refrain.
Even former county councilman and frequent gadfly Ron Angle threw his weight behind the proposal, telling directors they were running out of time to consider cuts.
But the lower-tax motion failed, with conservatives Brewer, Goffredo and Toni Lynch losing in a 3-5 vote. The board then passed the plan with the 2.2 percent increase, with the vote reversed. The tax would go up 1.098 mills to 51.018 mills, meaning the owner of a property assessed at $50,000 would pay nearly $55 more.

About This Class
This class will focus on delivering a basic understanding of what scales and their relative modes are on the guitar through a simple 3 note per string pattern approach. At then end of the course the student will have a basic understanding of what a scale is, what modes of a scale are, how they are applied, and the ability to modulate based on the patterns to play in different keys. This will enable students to further expand their musical theory knowledge by gaining actual playability.
By learning the 3 note per string pattern, the student is able to quickly apply what they learned to their playing while gradually increasing their music theory. The 3 note pattern approach will also help expand the students range on the fretboard by connecting multiple patterns to create continous and fluid melodic lines. This will boost a students confidence in traversing the guitar fretboard and continually increase the students familiarity with the different notes and their locations on the guitar.
Ultimately, the 3 note per string pattern approach will aslo become a tool to ebable the student to determine what notes are in any scale, what is the relative minor key of a any major scale, and play in defferent keys based on identifying the key and scale of a progression. This over time will increase the students musical theory in understading keys, scales, and modes. By learning to apply techniques immediately to the guitar, the student will feel more comfortable and with repetition, gain the concepts of scale theory.

Hi, Im Chris Beltran and I've been playing the guitar since I was 12 ( I know, late start). My mother was a piano player and minor'd in music education while my father was a self taught spanish guitarist. Music has always been in me since I was small and can be sen in many of my childhood photographs. I started with piano lessons at a young age but as soon as I picked up my first guitar I knew this was the instrumnet for me.
Since then, I did everything I could to learn al...

The Southern End
I had been invited on an annual hike that I look forward to every year. The one that showcases the Daffodils along the Linville River. This year I decided to backpack in my aerial photography unit. All this was flown over private property, and under 400' in altitude.
This is Shortoff Mountain Overlooking the Linville River as it makes its way to Lake James.

Student recovering from grizzly attack
Aug 29 2012
A University of British Columbia student says she "got off easy," with only minor injuries, after a grizzly bear attacked her, bit her hand and then dragged her before releasing her.
Julia Stafford was with a colleague collecting rock samples in a ravine near Alaska's Tangle Lakes when she saw a bear and two cubs emerge from the fog.
The 20-year-old geological engineering student from Seattle said they backed away from the animals, but the mother bear charged toward them.
Before Stafford could grab her bear spray, the animal was already on top of her and her colleague.
She says the bear then bit her hand and dragged her before it went away, allowing her colleague to tend to her and call a helicopter. She is recovering in hospital from a broken bone.

Texas Ballet Theater takes bold steps forward
Fans of local dance can think of Ben Stevenson's decade-plus tenure at the Texas Ballet Theater in waves.
First, there was the introduction of his work and aesthetic while building the talent in the company. Then came the Great Recession, which put nearly every major American arts group in survival mode; for TBT, it meant the loss of live music and safe programming choices.
In the past two years, it has been about recovery, most notably with the gradual restoring of live music to full-length ballets.
Next up: exploring Stevenson's bolder side.
"We've become a little bit more stabilized, and we can be more adventurous about what we can bring into the repertoire," Stevenson says. "We're in more of an important position now than we've been in."
The 2014-2015 season has had two full-length ballets featuring the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra (The Sleeping Beauty and The Merry Widow). As for more adventurous programming, audiences are about to witness it.
Next weekend, TBT presents the first of two mixed-repertory concerts, the first at Dallas City Performance Hall.
The "Masterworks" program, April 17-19, features TBT's first venture with one of the world's greatest living ballet masters, Czech choreographer Jiri Kylian, best known as the former artistic director of Holland's Nederlands Dans Theater. It's his 1991 piece Petite Mort, in a weekend that also features Stevenson's Five Poems, which has been performed by TBT once before; and George Balanchine's Rubies.
"I think it's one of his major works," Stevenson says about Petite Mort. "It's an exciting work, and a great one to introduce Jiri to our audiences; it stands out."
The 18-minute work, set to music from Mozart's first two piano concertos, was created to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and debuted in Salzburg. The title translates to "small death," and there is a theme of death in the work, but there is also something to be said for one of the common usages of the phrase "a little death": an orgasm.
"When you look at it, it's sexual in a way; it's subtle but it's in there," Stevenson says. "I think it's about people and about death, but it's not gloomy; it's positive, and the way he uses the music is fabulous."
So fabulous that not just any company can secure rights to a Kylian work. Stevenson staged Kylian's work at his previous post at Houston Ballet, but for TBT to be approved, a representative from Kylian's estate had to visit Fort Worth and make sure the company was up to its standards.
Getting that approval puts TBT up there with the best of American companies, including American Ballet Theater and San Francisco Ballet.
The work uses six male dancers, six women and six foils, which become part of the ballet, as opposed to dancers fighting with them.
"Balancing the foils takes a little bit of a challenge, but it's not dangerous, it's a skill," Stevenson says. "…It has to be exact, so it really has taken a lot of rehearsal to be where it has to be. It is tricky, but it should also look like anyone can do it, like something danced by Fred Astaire. I think it's one of my favorite pieces."
The season closes May 29-31 at Bass Hall in Fort Worth with the same program, except that Five Poems will be replaced by a world premiere from young, acclaimed British choreographer Jonathan Watkins. The name of the piece has not been announced yet, but it does have music by Dallas composer Ryan Cockerham.
"He's obviously classically based, but he takes it into the neo-classical and contemporary movement," Stevenson says of Watkins. "I've just seen tapes of his work, not in person, but I love his work. I called him and asked if he wanted to create a new work for us, and it is happening."
Patrons can look for the commissioning of new works from major choreographers to continue, as the 2015-2016 season will have a premiere from San Francisco Ballet's Val Caniparoli, whose work Lambarena TBT has staged in recent years; this along with ballets by Jerome Robbins, Harald Lander, a return of Glen Tetley's Voluntaries and, of course, a Balanchine.
And in case longtime fans are concerned that TBT has dropped new work from its own budding choreographers, such as Peter Zweifel and Carl Coomer, Stevenson says the hope is to keep developing them, and others.
"I want to do more stuff in the studio so we get more performances, and I'm hoping we can do choreographic workshops," he says. "You can't just do it with one work, you have to develop them as a choreographer, and that takes time."

TBT 2015-2016 season
Texas Ballet Theater's next season will include two full-length ballets performed with a live orchestra (Dracula and Cinderella), and a world premiere by a world-famous choreographer, Val Caniparoli. It also signals an extension into Dallas County, with performances at three venues — and interestingly, one of the performances is not The Nutcracker, which will only happen at Bass Hall.
The season begins with Ben Stevenson's frequently revived Dracula. It begins with two weekends in September at Dallas' Winspear Opera House (accompanied by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Sept. 4-6 and 11-13), and then at Bass Hall (with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Oct. 16-18).
Next is The Nutcracker, Dec. 11-27 at Bass Hall, with the parody The Nutty Nutcracker on Dec. 18; 2016 kicks off with another Bass Hall-only performance, a mixed-repertory showcase called "Classic Combination," Feb. 26-28.
Then comes Stevenson's version of Prokofiev's Cinderella, with performances March 11-13 at the Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts in Richardson and March 25-27 at Bass Hall. The Bass Hall performance will feature a live orchestra. The season closes with another mixed-rep program called "First Looks," May 6-8 at Dallas City Performance Hall and then May 27-29 at Bass Hall. The final concert will include the Caniparoli premiere.
The season at a glance:
Dracula: Winspear Opera House, Sept. 4-6 and 11-13; Bass Hall, Oct. 16-18

ANDY Murray will be aiming to tame the man nicknamed 'Mad Dog' if he hopes to progress in the French Open today.
The Scots star will face Australian Marinko Matosevic in round two at Roland Garros and will be looking to continue his impressive recent form on clay.
Matosevic's nickname appeared on his Wikipedia page in 2012 and he became so incensed by fans calling him 'Mad Dog' at the Australian Open this year that he asked for the umpire to tell them to stop.
He said: "It started off, I thought it was a joke in Sydney. And then the way I reacted to it obviously fed you guys and fed the crowd or whatever and then it got worse. I can't change it now."
The thrilled Aussie rolled around in the clay after beating Dustin Brown on Tuesday to claim his first Grand Slam victory at the 13th attempt.
Murray, who defeated world no.53 Andrey Golubev in the first round, said Matosevic's celebration was "interesting".
He added: "I have not seen that before. I get on very well with Marinko. He's a funny guy. He's a good ball striker, he can play good tennis. He's a strong guy. It will be tough."
The Wimbledon champion won their only previous match, on the grass of Queen's Club last year.
The 27-year-old, is seeded seventh in Paris after slipping down the rankings following back surgery last September, but says he is as motivated as ever to win major titles.
Murray said: "I felt once I had my surgery was when I started looking forward again.
"The way I train in the gym is tough, it's hard. I enjoy that and getting into shape to perform over five sets in the tournaments, and my goal is to try to win Grand Slams. That's what motivates me.
"Some people think number one should be my goal but what motivates me is Grand Slams, so I want to get myself in the best possible shape to win another one if I can."
