Just in Time for Holiday Shopping, NearbyNow Brings Together a Never-Before-Offered iPhone™ Gift Guide, Aggregated From Leading Lifestyle Magazines and National Retailers
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - November 10, 2009) - Every year holiday shopping seems to get
increasingly complicated: more products, more stores, more styles and more
choices -- leaving hapless shoppers scrambling to find and purchase the
perfect gifts. This dilemma is about to change, as NearbyNow, a leader in
digital personal shopping services, launches the NearbyNow Holiday Gift Guide -- a first-of-its-kind
iPhone/iPod Touch application that brings together an unprecedented group
of top-tier magazine titles and retailers into one easy-to-use mobile gift guide.
Built on the NearbyNow iPhone™ Platform, the NearbyNow Holiday Gift
Guide is the first-ever one-stop shop for iPhone/iPod Touch users that
aggregates the "must-have" products from leading fashion and lifestyle
magazines and gift guides from some of the nation's most popular fashion
retailers. To create the gift guide, NearbyNow worked with Seventeen, Marie
Claire, Cosmopolitan, All You, Real Simple, Sunset, Details, Southern
Living and Cooking Light magazines to fold their holiday gift selections
into the app. In addition, it added the gift guides from retailers
including Nordstrom, Bon-Ton, Macy's, Charlotte Russe and Buckle.
"Our 18 million readers are avid shoppers, making Cosmopolitan the perfect
partner to help garner a wide audience of women across the country. We're
thrilled to partner with NearbyNow on this, Cosmo's first of many iPhone
apps to come," said Donna Kalajian Lagani, SVP/Publishing Director,
The NearbyNow Holiday Gift Guide is simple to use: iPhone users can
download the guide from iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=334096900&mt=8)
and start shopping. Shoppers can browse the gift guide in several ways --
either directly within a magazine or retailer's guide or by choosing from a
variety demographic and lifestyle criteria. For example, shoppers can
choose to see a list of products across retailers based on appropriate
gifts for a certain gender, based on a certain price range or based on
specific interests (such as "green products" or "gifts for the
fashionista"). Once they find products they wish to investigate further or
purchase, they simply tap the "Find Nearby" button at the bottom of their
iPhone screen, and NearbyNow's concierge service goes to work, ensuring the
item the customer wants is in stock at his or her nearest store. NearbyNow
sends the customer an e-mail verification, typically within 10 minutes, and
the customer can stop by the store and check out the item. There is also a
"Find Online" option for those shoppers who prefer to buy online.
Added Barbara Schrantz, Executive Vice President, Sales Promotion and
Marketing of The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.: "This holiday season, probably more
than any other in recent history, retailers must find new ways to make
shopping and buying more appealing to consumers. We believe that building a
multi-channel experience is the best way to meet this objective, and
NearbyNow has managed to bring together an impressive array of publishers
and retailers into a first-ever iPhone app for holiday shopping. It's the
most creative and unique way we've seen to deliver that multi-channel
experience to the consumer."
"Holiday gift guides have been around for years, and many magazines and
retailers offer them. But only NearbyNow, has been able to aggregate the
best of them on a mobile device, which empowers consumers to find the
hottest products in their local shopping area," said Scott Dunlap, CEO and
founder of NearbyNow. "At the same time, we provide extensive options for
advertisers to reach consumers and a variety of viral features to help
support the social shopping concept. We expect the NearbyNow Holiday Gift
Guide app to act as an excellent catalyst as retailers look to this holiday
season in particular to boost their sales."
About NearbyNow
NearbyNow is a unique digital shopping concierge service that empowers
consumers to browse the hottest products via innovative mobile applications
-- for the most convenient local source for their favorite products and
brands. With just a few clicks, shoppers can place items on hold for local
in-store pick-up to save time and guarantee availability. For retailers,

Woodturning in the Scottish Borders
New polelathe pictures added
Let me know
what you think of the site or if you find any problems
Fundamentally, I enjoy working with wood.
I tend to use a natural finish allowing the character of the grain to show through. Natural edges are attractive. I love wood with character, holes are fine but you can't use the bowls for soup, "flaws become features", if you want perfection then don't use a natural product like wood.
I first started woodturning using a pole-lathe deep in the depths of
Wooplaw Woods, our local community woodland. I mainly use local hardwood from the Scottish Borders.
It's sometimes easier to obtain a tree locally, that's if you can deal with it,
than wood ready for the lathe. A lot cheaper and more personal, you know
where the object you make from it came from. I can even tell you where the bees live that
make my polish. You either like these individual details or else find it all a
bit sad.
(Either way, the bees live in Selkirk)
When my legs got too tired I graduated onto a small power lathe and began turning a wide variety of objects from fruit to pens to lamps. Later I bought a larger lathe and now prefer to turn bowls giving me the ability to produce shavings in industrial quantities.
I still demonstrate the pole-lathe at local events including the Hawick Reivers' day and the Border Union Show at Kelso.
Hopefully you'll find something of interest in the site. Let me know.

Aeranys Targaryen
is currently Offline.
Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark
The world's a funeral, a room of ghosts
No hint of movement, no sign of pulse
Perhaps it was not the smartest idea to meet at the ruins of the dragon pit. However it was the one place in King's Landing that was surly free of people, of a listening ear and a watchful eye. No ones little birds would think to venture towards the dome that was nothing but a eternal display of wrath and ruin. Long since had it fallen into disuse long after the death of the dragons. Even its inception was built upon death. Balerion the Black Dread with Maegor upon his back destroyed the great Sept that was there during a religious uprising.
From there after it was restructured to house dragons that would become their grave during a civil war that rocked the very fabric of House Targaryen. Dragon vs. Dragon in a claim to the throne. The death that surrounded the Dragon Pit didn't stop there, even though it was in a state of ruin. Bodies were burned when there was no time to bury the corpses, the green light back lit the fallen collapse of the done through the city.
The great doors had long since been sealed due to disuse, mal treatment and years of exposure to the elements. The Iron rusted and blackened by fire. A dangerous skeleton was all that remained, it looked like some grand leviathan beast in the distance that moved no more. Even in the shade of its twisted iron it was none the less formidable.
While its door were shut, there was more then one way into a building. This was not the first nor would it be the last time Aeranys had slipped into the dome through falling mortar and twisted bronze. If fact there was a time when he and Rhaegar would sneak away to explore the pit when they were younger. Such days had come and gone. Not it was ever still, ever silent. A place that he now only used when there was something either he or Daenerys needed to speak to one another away from the world.
The air was still heavy, wrought with ash and metal. Traits synonymous with Fire and Blood. His hand rested lightly on the silver hilt of his sword as even his light boot falls echoed for what seemed like eternity in the filtered day light. The evidence of wildfire still littered the floor in its charred remains.

Toluna's Panel Community Website www.toluna.com Receives 34,000,000+ Votes in a One Month Period
Announcement coincides with announcement of expanded Facebook following and launch of iPhone App
Mar 21, 2011, 09:00 ET
WILTON, Conn., March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Toluna, one of the world's leading online research panel and survey technology providers, announces that its panel 'community' website, www.toluna.com, recently achieved a very important milestone. The website received more than 34,000,000 votes within a one month period (January 16 – February 15, 2011).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110208/NY43624LOGO )
www.toluna.com provides a forum for more than 4 million global members of Toluna's market research panel to interact with one and other in real-time. Members can post on-site polls, vote in member polls, 'follow' others, comment on posts, and/or create their own public profile. Toluna.com provides members with a real value for participating in surveys, and enables market researchers to access consumer opinions in real-time.
"Gathering more than 34 million member votes on www.toluna.com in November proves that participants value the 'community' experience and features we provide," said Frederic-Charles Petit, CEO and Founder of Toluna. "We created our first 'community' website in 2000, in an effort to provide panelists with a value for participating in surveys. I am thrilled that our strategy has paid off. Now, more than ever, members enjoy the 'social features' that we provide, and it's a competitive differentiator for us."
Toluna introduced its first community in 2002, in select countries. Now, www.toluna.com is accessible by panelists worldwide, and the company continues to stay abreast of current trends, by continually launching new member features. "Our respondents are active, engaged, and it seems we've tapped into an unmet need in the market," says Matt Hynes, Director of North American Panels for Toluna. "Our respondents are looking for a return on their investment for participating in surveys and social features can help provide this. For example, we have more than 20,000+ followers who 'like' us on Facebook, and have integrated their Facebook and www.toluna.com experience."
The company has an entire team dedicated to keeping up with current technology and communications trends and applying them to the respondent experience. Recently, the company launched an iPhone Application for members so that they can sign-in and access www.toluna.com while on-the-go. Frank Smadja, Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Toluna, "We've all read statistics about how irregularly people check email these days. We aim to reach respondents when, where, and how it is most meaningful to them, and often this means that we have to think beyond emailed communications. Our philosophy mandates that we continue to innovate, and we would not have any other way."

Developments in growing media may not be as exciting as, say, those in technology, but growing media plays a significant role in crop production. It is an important purchase for greenhouse operators, and as a result of changing market demands, there are some significant trends for growing media that you should know. Here are the most important ones:
Super-Size Me
One of the most important trends has been the change to larger-format packaging. Many large and medium-sized growers see the need for labor-saving machinery, reduced worker injuries and faster processing methods. Large, mega-bale packaging reduces handling of materials, storage requirements, labor and plastic waste, which translates to an overall reduction of costs. Whether it is a loose-fill package or compressed bales, growers are moving to larger-size packaging.
For loose fill needs, 60 to 80 cu. ft. bulk bags have replaced the majority of the 2.8 cu. ft. loose-fill bags, except for germination mixes, where growers apply a smaller volume of growing medium. For general-purpose mixes, requests for large 110 to 135 cu. ft. mega bales are on the rise. While there is an investment required for machinery to process and break mega bales, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Small packaging requires workers to pick up, move, handle and clean-up the media. There are more labor costs and a greater potential for lifting injuries.
With a mega-bale breaker, one forklift operator can load the equipment, process the mega bale and clean-up. There is less plastic waste with a mega-bale than with the equivalent volume of smaller, 3.8 cu. ft. bales. Another bonus is that most mega-bale breakers process and fluff growing media faster and more uniformly. Uniform fluffing of growing medium results in consistent yields, consistent filling of pots and trays and uniform physical properties in the media from one container to the next.
Holds The Sticks, Please
The introduction of automated equipment for potting and transplanting has presented the need for cleaner growing media. The majority of growing media is made with a base of sphagnum peat moss, which contains sticks in its natural state. These sticks are actually the roots of plants that were once present in the peat bog.
The challenge for peat producers is to screen and remove these roots while maintaining the integrity of the fiber in the sphagnum peat moss.
Automated transplant and tray/pot filling machinery today are less tolerant of sticks. Recent advancements have allowed growing media manufacturers to produce cleaner fibrous growing media for automated machines and other equipment such as Ellepots.
New Menu Items
With new plant varieties and changing growing techniques, growers are looking for ways to improve crop production and reduce costs. This may mean a modification to growing medium formulation in order to meet a specific growing need or reducing certain ingredients to lessen costs. Most growing media manufacturers offer custom-blended growing media to address these special requests.
Keep in mind that reducing ingredients changes the physical characteristics of the growing media and often produces different results. Making custom-blended mixes can be more expensive since special ingredients may need to be sourced. Blending may also require additional labor.
Before considering a custom blend, consult with your growing media representative, as manufacturers have introduced enhanced growing media formulations with ingredients to improve plant production, save labor and make the grower's job easier. Providing new solutions for specific growing situations is one of the more popular trends.
The Main Course
Sphagnum peat moss and peat/bark have been the mainstays as base components for all commercial growing media in the U.S. and Canada since their introduction over 40 years ago. In the last few years, we have seen the introduction of coconut coir, rice hulls, whole tree, wood fiber … the list goes on. Most recent trends have involved refining of some of these ingredients to produce desired results.
For example, at Premier Tech Horticulture, we recently introduced a high-porosity mix that contains a specific type of chunk coir that provides better air porosity and improves water mobility of the growing medium. This is important for long-term potted crops, such as poinsettia, phalaenopsis orchid, tuberous begonia, etc. Chunk coir also resists settling and compaction and does not fracture like perlite in potting machines. For this application, chunk coir enhances and improves the physical properties of the growing medium. Wood fiber is another material that shows promise. It is hydrophilic (quickly takes water), readily available, can be easily compressed and decompressed and is lightweight and fibrous in structure. To be sure of all the benefits, however, more research is needed.
Adding Bioadditives
There are many proven bioadditives on the market today that can be incorporated into growing media. Bioadditives fall into two general categories: biofungicides and biostimulants. Biofungicides are preventative tools that suppress root disease and reduce the use of chemical fungicide drenches. Biostimulants enhance plant growth and help the plant tolerate nutritional and water stress (i.e. mycorrhizal fungi).
Biological additives are useful additions to growing media that work well with integrated pest management programs and are acknowledged by growers to improve plant production. With many different types of bioadditives available, it is important to know a specific bioadditive's intended use to be sure it meets your needs. While there is additional cost associated with incorporating bioadditives, the benefits of healthier plants, decreased mortality and improved plant quality and crop uniformity far outweigh the costs.
Going Organic
With fewer flowering plants grown on speculation, growers are looking for new markets to maximize the space in their greenhouses and improve the bottom line. In the last few years we have seen an increased demand for organic fruits and vegetables at the supermarket. Because of this, some traditional growers have switched hats to produce organic greens, herbs, greenhouse vegetables and transplants.
This switch presented challenges for growing media manufacturers because ingredients like chemical wetting agents and water-soluble fertilizers offer proven performance and superior results compared to their organic counterparts. The challenge for media manufacturers has been to develop organic growing media products that work as well as or better than traditional growing media. Growing media manufacturers have responded and now offer organic certified or OMRI-listed growing media products that provide good results for professionals and consumers.
Recipe Changes
In the past, it may have made dollars and sense to blend your own growing media. In the last year or so, though, the trend has been for medium- and large-sized greenhouse operations to move towards pre-formulated packaged media. When you calculate the costs of the equipment, raw materials, labor, depreciation costs, product consistency, risk factor for errors and other costs, buying a pre-formulated growing media is often a better choice.
Market demands for large-format packaging, improved flexibility from manufacturers and enhanced technical support has driven this change to pre-formulated media. This transition affords greenhouse operators more time to concentrate on priorities other than blending growing media.

We are sorry if you have a problem and will do our absolute best to resolve it as fast as possible.
Check the FAQ below, and if you do not find an answer: Please EMAIL ME
Be aware we are based in New Zealand, so check the clock below for our local time and that will give you an indicator of how soon you will get a response to a support issue. Other than when recording in very remote locations with no cell signal, we aim to be very responsive… so if you email me with a problem, stay nearby as I will usually respond immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What the hell is a RAR file? And why do you use them?
RAR is a compression format – like ZIP files but more efficient, so your downloads are smaller.
If you've never used a RAR file before, you may need to install a free RAR decompressor.
For OSX: Unarchiver is a free, small, and easy to use program
For PC: WinZIP is one easy option.
2. My download is corrupted or seems to be missing files?
There are two quick ways to check if your download is complete. First is to compare the size
of your downloaded file with the original file via the download link. If necessary start a new
download and note the size of the original file, and compare it with your completed download.
They should be very similar in size, if not identical (a small amount of variation occurs due to
the sector size of your hard drive versus that of the server)
If there is a significant difference, please re-download the file.
If you have decompressed the files and suspect you are missing something, please open the metadata
file included in archive A of each library (in the INFO folder) – open either the Excel spreadsheet
or the text file – they contain a file list with filenames that will exactly match your downloads.
A first quick check is the number of files, and if there is something missing a second check is to
skip through comparing your download with the file list. If necessary redownload the archive.
3. Why multiple microphones?
When recording, the first challenge can often be accessing the location or prop. Once that is achieved
we figure it is wise to make the best of the opportunity by recording multiple perspectives at once.
Depending on the location some people prefer to record ambiences with spaced omni mics,
others prefer a tight stereo image… Our goal is to provide you options, simply because
we do not know what context you will use the sounds.
A guide to our microphone choices:
a matched stereo pair of Sennheiser MKH8040 mics, very low self noise, tight stereo image
and wide frequency response 30Hz – 50kHz
mono Sennheiser MKH8050 mic, often used for a detail or as a spot mic, very low self noise
and wide frequency response 30Hz – 50kHz
– MKH8020 omni
a pair of Sennheiser MKH8020 mics, used as spaced omni – very low self noise
and very wide frequency response 10Hz-60kHz!
– DPA 4060 omni
Miniature DPA 4060 omni mics, fairly low self noise and good frequency response 20 Hz – 20 kHz,
amazing for such a tiny mic… mainly used as spaced omni
a pair of Sennheiser MKH70 long shotgun mics -very directional with frequency response 50Hz – 20kHz,
check the PDF spec sheet for polar response, these mics are great at side rejection thereby providing an
almost pointillistic perspective and great for targeting discrete details.
– Sanken CSS5
The Sanken CSS5 was my first pro mic – a single point stereo mic, mine got ruined by a studio flood…
used insurance to help replace with the 8040 pair. Retired now, but appears in some of the early HISSandaROAR libraries.
– Contact Mics
Barcus Berry Planar Wave – mic + preamp x2
Trance Audio Inducer – stereo/2 mics + preamp
Leafcutter John contact mics x 4

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Canada's Finance Minister Bill Morneau said on Tuesday that he was watching carefully for any stresses that higher interest rates may put on indebted households.
Speaking to reporters as the Liberal government's cabinet holds a two-day retreat, Morneau also said he had "nothing to report" when asked about further government measures to cool the country's housing market.

I've used these to tie up a number of tungsten bead head nymphs in size 12 and 14. The hooks are of good quality, consistent bend and sharp. I've pinched down the barb on the ones I've tied and haven't had any hooks break. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a quality hook at a reasonable price.

Brain-dead Kerala welder gives new lease of life to seven people
Seven people got a new lease of life after the family a 25-year-old man, declared brain-dead after an accident, donated his vital organs.india Updated: Sep 16, 2016 18:41 IST
Seven people got a new lease of life after the family a 25-year-old man, declared brain-dead after an accident, donated his vital organs.
Vishnu G Krishnan, a welder and lone breadwinner of his family, was declared brain-dead on Monday after his motorcycle collided with another bike at Danapady near his home on September 11.
He is survived by his 54-year-old mother Omana and a sister Veena.
Krishnan was first rushed to the Government Hospital, Harippad and later to Government Medical College, Alappuzha.
He was then shifted to VPS Lakeshore after his condition started deteriorating. But he was declared brain dead by the doctors on Monday evening.
"Vishnu died at a very young age. The family decided to donate his organs as it will help give a new lease of life to those who were looking for organs," said S Satyajit,a relative of the deceased.
It was Vishnu's sibling and her husband Shyam Mohan, who took the initiative for donating the organs.
The left kidney was transplanted into Ratheesh Kumar of Pathanamthitta at VPS Lakeshore and right kidney into one Pavanan at Government Medical College, Kottayam.
The small intestine was transplanted into Anoop Antony, a native of Palluruthy, at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, liver into Jojo Jacob (56) of Kottayam, at Aster Medicity and heart into Sister Jolly George (57) of Palluruthy at Lisie Hospital.
The corneas were donated to the eye bank of Little Flower Hospital, Angamaly and were transplanted into two more people.
The recipients were selected from those registered in 'Mrithasanjeevani' (Kerala Network for Organ Sharing), an online transplant registry of patients on waiting list for kidney, liver, heart and pancreas transplants in the state initiated by the state government.

(add $2 each for cheese and bacon)
It seems everyone who does the West Coast Trail has an "I had the best burger of my life!" story that stems from their time on the trail. For some the best burger of their life is at the pub in Port Renfrew. Most West Coast hikers, however, will point to Chez Monique's as their best burger experience.
Don't trust these people. The average person, by the time they get to Chez Monique's, has been eating nothing but sand, mud, Clif bars and dehydrated meals for three days. In between sex dreams about the last attractive human being they saw on the trail--and paranoid "OH MY GOD WAS THAT A BEAR??" outbursts whenever a large man grunts somewhere on the other end of the beach at night--most hikers are daydreaming about "real" food. Chez Monique's is their first opportunity to get some. That's why this burger is so satisfying for so many, and why it's one of the experiences hikers rave about the most.
In reality, there isn't much to differentiate the burger here from any other burger you might get at your average family-friendly restaurant. The bun is garnished with light scrapes of mustard and ketchup, with a little relish added to the top bun. Cheese is melted well and probably comes from one of those Kraft half&half bags. The patty is an approximately quarter pound pre-fab number that is fine, but obviously far from fantastic. To sum up: it's just good enough. And good enough can be pretty good indeed if you've been sucking sand for a few days.
VERDICT: Make a point to stop by if you're in the neighbourhood, but don't charter a float plane so you can go in for an afternoon nosh.

Voting in Morocco last week was largely free and fair, the country's election observer body said Sunday, but it is investigating some cases of vote-buying and expressed concern about low turnout.
Almost 16 million Moroccan voters head to the polls Friday to elect a new legislature – the second such election to take place since the kingdom's constitution came into force in 2011 following a national referendum.
The elections come five years after the Islamist-led government took office following protests inspired by the Arab Spring.
The moderate Islamist Party of Justice and Development won the legislative election, beating out a party with close ties to the royal palace after an unusually hostile campaign.
The PJD, which has led a coalition government since it first won elections in 2011 on a wave of Arab Spring protests, is now working on building a new coalition with rival parties.

Vauxhall Lightbox nightclub fluid attacker jailed
A man has been jailed for splashing a noxious fluid over six strangers in a "vile and violent" attack outside a nightclub.
Jonathan Lynn, 29, emptied the contents of a bottle over a group of young gay friends in Vauxhall, south London.
He previously pleaded guilty to causing the three men actual bodily harm outside the Lightbox club.
Lynn, of Worcester Park, south-west London, was jailed for two years and four months.
At Inner London Crown Court, he also admitted splashing the liquid on a fourth man in the group and a female passer-by before he assaulted another man, who was sprayed with the fluid.
He also admitted possessing an offensive weapon, namely a noxious fluid.
'Cowardly and disgraceful'
Some of the victims were left with ulcers in their eyes and mouths as well as "significant" psychological problems, the court heard.
The jury was told Lynn threw the liquid over model Parish Frith after the pair were involved in an argument outside Lightbox shortly before 05:00 BST.
A woman, who had been standing outside the nightclub and did not know Lynn said he had told Mr Frith he "didn't care he was gay" during the argument.
Sentencing Lynn, Recorder David Etherington QC said: "This was a vile, violent, cowardly and disgraceful attack by you, but I do not find it was motivated by dislike or hate of people of homosexual orientation.
"You wrecked a number of people's lives."
Following sentencing, Met Police Det Ch Insp William White said: "Lynn has never given an explanation as to why he did what he did that night or why he would go out armed with a corrosive liquid."
The court heard the contents of the bottle were not recovered and therefore could not be analysed.

Democrats and Republicans are racking up supermajorities in blue and red states, leading to a country in which the opposition party is rendered useless.
According to the Associated Press, "half of state legislatures now have veto-proof majorities, up from 13 only four years ago" and "all but three states — Iowa, Kentucky and New Hampshire — have one-party control of their legislatures, the highest mark since 1928."
In 2012 Republicans captured total control in North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Oklahoma, Georgia. Democrats gained a supermajority in California and Illinois and "built upon their dominance in places such as Rhode Island and Massachusetts."
The Associated Press notes, "supermajorities can allow lawmakers to override governors' vetoes, change tax rates, put constitutional amendments on the ballot, rewrite legislative rules and establish a quorum for business — all without any participation by the opposing party."
In California, a Democratic supermajority can now pass tax increases, which requires a 2/3 majority of both state houses because of famed Proposition 13.
California Republican Assemblyman Jim Nielsen said an "unprecedented spending and taxing binge" will occur and California Senate President Pro-Tem Darrell Steinberg has "outlined an agenda that includes changing the tax code and ballot initiative process." Steinberg may also ask voters to legalize gay marriage and has vowed Democrats will exercise "this new power with strength" along with humility" and "reason."
In red states like Indiana, Republicans may now be able to pass right-to-work laws. In Oklahoma, Republicans may finally be able to reduce the state's income tax rates. In North Carolina, Republicans may push for income tax and education reform in addition to photo identification voting laws that North Carolina's previous Governor, Democrat Bev Perdue, vetoed.
In Missouri, Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, has vetoed tax cuts and education reform bills that Republicans had sent to his desk. Now, the Republican supermajority can overrule those vetoes.
Sometimes, supermajorities can produce infighting among various factions within the Republican party. This happened in Kansas, where moderates and conservatives were divided in the statehouse even after Republicans gained a supermajority during the 2010 elections. In 2012, conservatives purified the Republican party, getting rid of moderates at the ballot box en route to gaining a hold of "27 out of 40 Kansas Senate seats and as many as 75 of 125 House seats."
The emergence of these Republican and Democratic supermajorities paints a picture of a country that is divided and polarized. It may also make states purer laboratories of democracy, and allow Americans to see "red" and "blue" models of governance competing side-by-side and determine which system delivers the best results.

A federal jury on Wednesday found Bank of America liable for defrauding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to a Bloomberg report. The case was the first U.S. lawsuit against a bank over defective mortgages to go to trial.
At issue in the case were millions of dollars in defective loans sold to Fannie and Freddie by the bank's Countrywide unit. Former Countrywide executive Rebecca Mairone – the only individual named as a defendant in the case – was also found liable for the fraud.
According to prosecutors, Countrywide ran shoddy mortgages through a program known as "High Speed Swim Lane" or "Hustle," in which underwriting standards were sacrificed for approval speed and volume. Thousands of the deficient mortgages were sold to Fannie and Freddie, which saw a gross loss of more than $848 million and a net loss of more than $131 million, according to Bloomberg. Countrywide, meanwhile, earned at least $165 million selling loans through the "Hustle" program.
Prosecutors said that loans processed under the program saw approval times reduced from 60 days to as little as 10 days, Bloomberg reported. The program also transferred the job of approving loans from trained underwriters to "loan specialists" who were little more than glorified clerks who lacked sufficient training, prosecutors maintained. The government's star witness, former Countrywide official-turned-whistleblower Edward O'Donnell, said he repeatedly warned company officials about the failure rate of the loans, according to Bloomberg.
"The ('Hustle') program was all about speed and volume and not about quality," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jaimie Nawaday said Wednesday during closing arguments. "Quality was no more than a distraction."
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who presided over the trial, will determine any penalties, according to Bloomberg.
I will never forget how hard I laughed when B of A anounced they were buying Countrywide. Angelo M. is probably still laughing...
So when is Jim Johson at Fannie Mae going to go to trial? I suspect no time soon. He's probably having lunch with Angelo M at this very moment...
I am pretty sure Bofa was strong armed into the Countrywide purchase. It was just not as public as the Merrill debacle. Now Bofa is paying with a lack of support from the golf buddies at the fed and in gov't. Having to pay for mortgages closed by an entity they absorbed to help save our economy? Interesting. I guess all the money the banks made was straw revenue after all... which is what the printing presses print and the fed buoys with bond sales (and purchases) anyway. They are all playing nicely in the sand box together until someone disagrees. Gets ugly and the bullies come out at that point.

Tips for Improving your English
Tips for Improving your English
Nicole Yurchak
5 meses atrás
Learning English doesn't always have to mean sitting in the classroom and studying tricky grammar. In fact, English language teachers encourage you to do plenty of extra learning outside of school. There are a number of ways to improve your understanding of the language, many of which can actually be a lot of fun.
It's also a well-known fact that different people respond to different learning methods. Sometimes simply sitting in the classroom or reading a course book is not right for you. It can be beneficial to do some additional work.
So if you're keen to improve your English (or any other second language for that matter) then consider some of these handy tips to get you on your way. Not everything will work for you but, if you add a few of these ideas to your day-to-day language learning, you'll certainly see some improvement.
1. Watch television and films in English
Not only do Britain and the USA produce some of the best TV shows and films in the world, but you can learn English whilst watching them. If you're still getting to grips with the language at any level (from beginner to upper intermediate) then it's worth putting the English subtitles on so that you can read along and listen at the same time.
You can also listen to English radio stations and find plenty of listening sources on the internet. Another idea would be to put English subtitles on films or television programmes from your own country so that you can read along with them in English and make the translations as you go.
2. Read English books/newspapers
Reading is a great way of practising your English in your own time. You can take one word at a time at your own pace, without your teacher peering over your shoulder. If you're studying at a beginner to intermediate level, pick up a children's book where the language will be easier than an adult book.
Newspapers are also worth reading. Not only can you improve your English but you'll learn about local and national goings on, which can be handy when communicating with native speakers. Free newspapers and magazines, as well as tabloid-style newspapers which use more basic language, are perhaps better for low level speakers.
3. Label things in your house
This is a quick and cheap way of improving your knowledge of the vocabulary of everyday items in your home. All you need to do is buy a pack of labels and then write the name of items in your home on them, such as phone, window, mirror etc. Every time you use these objects you'll read the word and embed it into your memory. This is great for low level learners.
4. Make notes of new vocabulary
Whenever you learn a new word, whether in the classroom or when you're out and about, make sure you make a note of it. Whenever you have some free time, you can practise what you've learned. You could even do this on your phone so you needn't carry around a notebook with you.
It's also worth making a note of the translation into your own language and any unusual phonological aspects of the word.
5. Surround yourself with English speakers
If you just spend your time outside of the classroom with people from your own country, you'll miss out on a big chance to practise English. If you try to befriend other English speakers, you'll be forced into speaking the English language. You'll also pick up things like slang and conversational English that you're unlikely to learn in the classroom.
If you struggle to find English speakers, at least try and spend time with people off your course that are from countries other than your own. This way, you will still have to speak English.
6. Figure out your best time to learn
Are you a morning or afternoon person? If you can work out when your brain is at its sharpest then you should cram in your language learning at this time. Some people work best first thing in the morning and switch off after lunchtime, while for others it takes a while to get going every day.
Think about when you function best and plan your learning to suit this. For example, there's no point taking lessons that run late into the night when you're likely to easily lose concentration.
7. Listen to British and American music
In addition to watching films and TV, listening to music is another great and fun way of improving your grasp of a language. There's an almost endless amount of music out there to choose from, with most tracks having lyrics easily available online.
You could listen to a song a day and read the lyrics along to it. If you come across any language that you don't understand then research it. If you're at a low level then perhaps go for some slower folk, country or acoustic music, which often has lyrics that are slower and easier to understand.
Once you're feeling more confident you could go for some rap music, which is generally a lot quicker and harder to understand.
8. Language swap
In addition to learning English in class, you could find somebody who is keen to learn your own language and exchange information with them. Being able to speak a language is a gift and, whatever your mother tongue, there will be somebody out there that wants to learn it.
You can meet up and give each other work, swap knowledge and help each other progress. This is a great way of continuing your learning outside of the classroom while also saving money.
9. Practice English whenever you can
It's incredibly important that you don't leave your English learning inside the classroom. Make an effort to go to the library and study your notes, read and write in English, and speak to English nationals and other English speakers.
When you're in bed at night, look over your English notes from the day and try to memorise some vocabulary as you're falling asleep. The first thing you do in the morning while you're eating your cereal could be to learn a couple of new words. Make sure you never escape learning.
10. Record yourself and your lesson
Make the most of the recorder on your smartphone and practice pronunciation. This is a good way of learning pronunciation because you might know it when you first hear it then forget it later.
Although your teacher might not like you to do this, and you should always get their permission, it can be useful to record lessons. As you travel home or fall asleep you can listen to it. It's a great way to revise the information and practise listening, as well as nail down some pronunciation.
11. Get a good bilingual dictionary
A bilingual dictionary is your best friend while you're learning English. However, beware that a lot of dictionaries out there have numerous mistakes and mistranslations. Do some research and spend a bit of extra money on the best dictionary you can find.
It's also worth bearing in mind that a number of online translators and electronic dictionaries on smartphones can be quite poor. Teachers will find it very obvious if you simply put something through a translator – it's normally literally translated which doesn't always work.
12. Learn English idioms and phrasal verbs
There are a number of aspects of the English language that you're not always going to find in an academic course book. Things like idioms and phrasal verbs are extremely common in everyday English conversations.
If you manage to learn these then you'll find it much easier to talk and understand conversations with native speakers. Although this is not the kind of language you're likely to use in an academic essay, it's arguably just as important to you.
13. Write every day
Writing is a great way of using new vocabulary and getting your head around grammar. Try and write something every day using new words and grammar that you've learned. Even if it's only a few sentences, it's very important to get into the habit of doing this.
It's also a good way of comparing your progress as you improve your knowledge of the English language. If you have access to English speaking friends or a teacher, you could ask them to look over your writing and give you some pointers.
14. Tell you teacher what you want to learn
If you're learning English in a language school or getting private lessons, you might not always be learning what you want. However, it can be difficult for your teacher to know exactly what you want to learn unless you tell them. So if you think that they're giving you too much writing and not enough pronunciation, for example, then you should tell them. They'll be pleased with the feedback.
15. Remember your mistakes
You will make mistakes, there's no denying it. Chances are that you'll make the same mistakes over and over again. Next time that you're corrected by a teacher, whether this is written or orally, you should make a note of your mistakes.
Perhaps you forget when to use the correct article or you get the past simple and present perfect tenses mixed up? Make a note of this and work on your mistakes.
16. Put yourself into difficult situations
If you search out situations where you must speak, read and listen that are outside of your comfort zone, you'll be forced into using the English language. This can be one of the best ways to learn English because you really focus on what you're saying and it gets you used to uncomfortable situations.
Try and order some food at a restaurant, speak to someone at a tourist information centre or just start chatting to a native speaker in a bar. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Getting something wrong is actually a great way of understanding why it works a certain way.
17. Change the language on your social media or smartphone
Have you ever accidentally changed the language on a device or on a website and then struggled to get it back again? We've all been there before. However, this can actually be a good way of learning an additional language. If you turn your Facebook, Twitter and smartphone settings to 'English' then you can continue to learn the language while you're communicating with friends.
18. Be realistic
It's extremely common for language learners to want to better their English at an unrealistic pace. Set yourself objectives but be genuine in what you can achieve. Your teacher is just there to tell you things and practise with you for a few hours a day. It's your job to remember and correctly use what you are taught.
You cannot expect to just turn up to class for a few weeks and be able to speak the language. You must engage in lots of work outside of class and use your brain as much as possible.
I hope these tips help you! If you have any further questions or want to practice speaking conversational English,grammar, or simply need help preparing for your next job interview, feel free to sign up for a trial lesson! =) Happy Learning!

1. Jameis Winston - Florida State
Winston put up good numbers in another first half-only performance, but it was against Idaho so does anyone actually care? The award is now his to lose and he'll have an opportunity to seal the deal with another dominant performance against Florida. However, as I mentioned in the intro, the biggest question surrounding the Florida State quarterback is whether or not criminal charges will be filed against him regarding the allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman.
2. Jordan Lynch - Northern Illinois
I didn't think Jordan Lynch was a legitimate candidate for the Heisman Trophy, but then yesterday happened and nearly every other player in the race had a terrible performance. Johnny Manziel, Bryce Petty and Marcus Mariota were all disappointing, which opened the door for Lynch. He leads the nation in rushing yards by a quarterback and is the main reason Northern Illinois is 11-0 and still in contention for a second consecutive trip to a BCS bowl.
3. Andre Williams - Boston College
172, 166, 295, 339, 263. Those are Andre Williams' rushing totals for the last five games. The dude already has 2,073 yards and 16 touchdowns and he still has another game to play! And it's against Syracuse, so he's capable of putting up another 300-yard performance. He doesn't get much attention because he plays for Boston College, but Williams has been one of the most dominant players in the country this season and he's put the team on his back down the stretch.
4. A.J. McCarron - Alabama
This is stupid. People want A.J. McCarron to win the Heisman Trophy because you have to take into account that he could potentially lead Alabama to three straight national championships? How about we look at all the players Alabama has sent to the NFL over the past three years? How about we consider the fact that Alabama's teams are typically built around a power running game and dominant defense? How about we factor in that McCarron isn't even one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC this season? He's a great fit for Alabama. He's not deserving of the Heisman Trophy.

If Fort Lauderdale`s Jack and Jennifer Belt have found the secret to a successful marriage, it`s that they never have come to the end of each other.
It`s a marriage based on as many differences as similarities.
He is the son of teachers; his father later worked for the power company in his hometown of Pennsboro, a hamlet of 600 people in the West Virginia hills. He grew up to become a newscaster and knew four U.S. presidents. In 1970, he changed careers and founded Jack Belt and Associates, a successful Fort Lauderdale commercial properties management and consultant firm.
She is the daughter of wealth from Bucks County, Pa., who grew up believing life meant being kind and helpful to people, working in the community. Today, among other things, she is president of the Junior League of Fort Lauderdale.
He first saw her more than 15 years ago in the offices of Jack Drury, a Fort Lauderdale celebrity publicist, where she was a commercial artist. He asked her to dinner and she turned him down because his divorce wasn`t yet final.
``When we finally did go to dinner we talked until 4 a.m. and I knew that was it,`` he says. ``I literally fell in love just talking. Jennifer was and is fiercely independent, highly intelligent and so wonderful to look at. She`s one of the most beautifully dressed women I have ever seen. She never looks bad and I enjoy that. But being able to talk was and still is all important. You could count on the fingers of one hand the disagreements we have had in all these years. And disagreement is the word -- never fights. We talk everything through.``
Jennifer interjects: ``I am independent but I like the stability of having a strong man around and Jack is that man. He has given me the opportunity to grow on my own, but he has always been there to give me confidence and support.``
