From Diana Olick at CNBC: Homebuilder DR Horton's Bet on Entry-Level Houses Paying Off Big
... Texas-based DR Horton's CEO David Auld said on the company's quarterly earnings call. "The Express (brand) has been the driver of market share gains."As we've discussed, future growth for new home sales is partially dependent on more affordable homes.
Express launched in early 2014, touting no-option, no-frills homes in exchange for prices between $120,000 and $150,000. Prices are now slightly higher, moving with the broader market gains, but still below the nation's median price. The brand has solid footing in Texas, the Carolinas and Florida, but it is now expanding strongly into Southern California. ...
"They are doing the best job of any of the large builders executing at entry level, and I think you have to have that as you go through '16," homebuilding analyst Stephen East of Evercore ISI said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

Late Penalty
An additional fee for when a policy holder doesn't make a premium payment on time.
Length of Stay
The complete number of days a patient stays in the hospital while undergoing a procedure or treatment.
Lifetime Limit
It is the upper limit on the total amount which can be claimed by the policy holder during his or her lifetime.
Lifetime Maximum
It is an insurance benefit where Cigna TTK Health Insurance pays the maximum amount for payments during your lifetime. Example:Rajs son is suffering from multiple sclerosis. The approximate cost to care for him would be around Rs. 70,000 a month for drugs which need to be injected every alternate day. A lifetime maximum includes all care, including for maximum benefit. Raj was wise enough to go for a higher lifetime maximum limit which considerably reduced his expenses.
These are restrictions on what conditions are covered by the insurance policy.
It is a set amount/limitation on payouts for different situations which should not be exceeded.For example, if the limit on maternity coverage is Rs. 50,000, any expense over and above Rs. 50,000 is not covered by the policy.
It is an amount added to the basic premium in a policy to cover expenses for securing and maintaining operations.
Long Term Disability
CignaTTk pays benefits for a lengthy period of time in case an insurer is out of work or is incurring a loss of income because of an injury, accident or disability.
The disability can be from a few years up to age 65 or even a lifetime.

We began our Italian adventure by following our dream and moving to Italy in March 2005, leaving the bustling life of southern California behind. Tania is an American born Italian who has visited Italy almost every year of her life. With a passion for photography and a desire to be immersed in culture and art, she has always yearned to live in the country that engendered her artistic and vivacious personality. Keith is a techie who loves to travel, cook and intricate details of just about anything and was up for the challenge and change of life. Their shared love of travel, new adventures, wine and delectable local dishes made Tuscany the perfect destination. Murphy the dog, well, he just likes food and companionship, probably in that order, but he also seems to be thoroughly enjoying his life in Italy.
Tania & Keith von Barkenhagen purchased this farmhouse in 2007
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Val di Chiana, minutes from the picturesque hilltop town of Cortona (featured in 'Under the Tuscan Sun'), 'Casa bel Posto' is a tranquil and charming Tuscan farmhouse conveniently located in southern Tuscany. Casa bel Posto boasts the perfect Tuscan getaway with the best of both worlds; located in the heart of the countryside with all the benefits of having a lively historical city nearby. Everything you could want to see in central Tuscany is at your fingertips - 5 minutes from the main train line leading to Rome in 2.5 hours, Florence in just over 1 hour, 1/2 hour drive to Perugia for chocolate making, Montepulciano or Chianti for wine, Pienza for amazing cheese and countless little hilltop towns along the way. Less than an hour drive to Sienna (famous for it's horse races, the Palio), Montalcino for wine and many other towns. Plus we've explored the area for you, so we're ready to help with reservations, little out of the way spots to explore, hilltop towns to discover, small family-run wineries to see.
Italy has been on our "bucket list" for many years. How wonderful for us that when we finally got around to visiting in April, 2012, we knew that Casa bel Posto would fit our needs exactly. We find great joy in sharing our travel experiences with friends and family, and here in Cortona, we had room to spare.
The little girls loved romping with Murphy, and the grown-ups loved sitting out in the late afternoon sun with a glass of wine, looking up toward the beautiful ancient town on the hill. My husband, Don (who speaks no Italian) described his favorite moment -- he took a walk and ended up having a delightful conversation with a local man who spoke no English. Yet they talked for 40 minutes! I don't think any of us imagined how very friendly and open this beautiful place would be.
Keith and Tania made great suggestions for shopping, dining, and wine tasting, and made us feel so much a part of this lovely home. The kitchen is beautifully equipped, and that grand, large, family-style table was home to many meals cooked with all the fresh bounty of Tuscany, including Keith and Tania's own olive oil brand – "L'Arte". Delicioso!
There was something for everyone; a delightful Etruscan museum for me, an outdoor restaurant for our son and his wife, infinite photo opportunities for the shutter bugs, and the "world's best" gelato for the girls. We were conveniently situated within comfortable drives of many of the lovely old cities and towns, and we even took a drive to the coast for a day.
Happily, we have NOT crossed Italy off our bucket list; we hope to visit again and again. Only next time, we will feel like we are "coming home" – to Casa bel Posto!
Springfield, Vermont, USA
May, 2012
Was going to start off with the "not so great" things about Casa Bel Posto - but honestly, there aren't any! Great owners, beautiful property, friendly dogs, amazing pool, close to plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, villages. Couldn't wish for anything more - simply was the icing on the cake for us after spending a week in busy Rome. Would come back in a heartbeat. LOVED IT!!!
What a lovely place to have a holiday! The owners, and their family and friends were so accommodating and made us feel very welcome. Cortona is delightful and a great place to explore the rest of the region and we enjoyed a day trip to Florence which was quite close. The property is fantastic and the pool and garden wonderful. I would recommend to anyone and in particular our children had a great time.
Arrived after a week of non-stop sightseeing in Rome to this beautiful, peaceful, tranquil farmhouse. A warm greeting by the owners Keith, Tania and their beautiful labs, Stella & Murphy. The farmhouse was perfect - great size bedrooms and kitchen with a cosy living room area - with everything we needed. The outside of the property is amazing - they grow fresh veggies (and we were supplied with a welcome basket of fresh veggies and fruit a few times during our stay). There is a huge huge swimming pool - which was very welcoming after our days out visiting local Cortona (which is fabulous). Lots of great restaurants, cafes, grocery stores etc - all very close to the farmhouse. Keith and Tanya lived above the property and were happy to help for recommendations and shooting the breeze chatting. They also make the most amazing Olive Oils & Balsamic Vinegars which we mopped up with crusty bread every single day - its truly divine and I will be ordering some when I get home! Lovely lovely people and I can't recommend this place enough. If anyone is heading to Tuscany then this is certainly worth staying it. Would definitely go back here if we ever come back to Tuscany.
Our family of 6 (Mom & Dad and our 4 kids, ages 20, 13, 12, 10) spent a wonderful month traveling throughout Italy in July 2016. We used VRBO to rent apartments in Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento, and Rome. We booked our week at lovely Casa Bel Posto in the middle of our busy month, in order to give our kids some down time to rest and play. Our time spent at Casa Bel Posto exceeded our expectations! Tania & Keith were fantastic hosts! They were available & attentive to our many questions but they also afforded us privacy during our stay, including the many hours we spent outside enjoying their lovely property. Their farmhouse apartment, with it's 3 well-appointed bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms, was great for our family. We enjoyed cooking in their well-equipped kitchen, grilling and eating meals/relaxing under their cozy Pergola, and swimming in their amazing pool! We enjoyed excursions into Cortona, shopping at local markets, and a day-long cooking class nearby at Alessandra Federici's Cucina Cooking School.
Favorite memories of our time spent at Casa Bel Posto include: waking each morning to find Stella & Murphy waiting to greet us outside our door, hours spent swimming with Stella & Murphy in the wonderfully refreshing, HUGE pool, hanging our freshly-washed clothing out to dry in the warm Tuscan breeze, being surrounded by Tania & Keith's beautiful property and the neighboring sunflower fields, bike riding on winding roads & nearby trails, many many hours spent enjoying Cortona, and last but not least, celebrating two of our daughters' back-to-back birthdays!
Tania & Keith's amazing L'Arte dell'Olivo products are so delicious-make sure you ask for a tasting! Our family & extended family have enjoyed the olive oil & vinegars that we purchased-check out their great website at lartedellolivo.com.
If we are ever blessed to visit Cortona again, we will definitely stay at Casa Bel Posto!
Such a perfect place to stay when in Tuscany! Close to Cortona, and within an hour's driving time to Orvieto, Montepulciano, Siena, Arrezzo and Assisi to name a few...Tania and Keith were fantastic hosts, and provided lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as lots of staples for our stay. And Stella and Murphy were always close by for a pat. The home itself was well equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was wonderful to come home to each day, and we loved having dinner and spending the evening under the pergola. They gave us great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to eat at, and where to buy groceries-we especially enjoyed the little market where the butcher cuts the Chiana beef the thickness you like, and his mother makes fresh pasta sauces daily. Walking across the lawn and seeing Cortona in the foreground each day was a pleasure! Keith and Tania hold a 4th of July party every year and we were fortunate to be invited to join in the celebration. My husband was invited to play his guitar with their friend George under the pergola till the wee hours and it was one of the highlights of the trip for him! We highly recommended this place!
When you get to Casa Bel Posto you come home!! Tania and Keith are incredibly gracious and kind. Their hospitality draws you in and captures your heart. Not only do they know amazing restaurants, museums and EVERYTHING to do throughout tuscany- they are passionate about it and it's contagious! The home is adorable- with such a tuscan feel. The furniture is darling and so cozy! The grounds are lovely with amazing Cortona in the backdrop- yeah paradise. This place will forever be in our hearts. We can't wait to go back!
We produce local award winning L'arte dell'Olivo extra virgin olive oil and artisan balsamic vinegars and are happy to give our guests a free tasting during your stay. Keith is a certified Olive Oil Sommelier and does educations tours. Tania works with the local wine industry, offers tours and always has info on the various degustation events. Full day cooking classes with 'Alessandra's real Italian cucina' can be arranged, located a couple minutes away.
The beautiful medieval village of Cortona is just a few minutes away by car and is a favorite amongst travelers. There are Etruscan ruins nearby, Lago Trasimeno a few minutes away and plenty of beautiful drives in all directions in the spectacular Tuscan countryside.

Ciao and thank you for inquiring about staying at Agriturismo Casa bel Posto!
We have tried to list detailed information on our website www.casabelposto.com, but you may be interested to know how the three bedrooms and two bathrooms are furnished; two bedrooms have king size beds that can also be made into two large single beds and one bedroom has a queen size bed. One of the bathrooms is located within one of the king size bedrooms, the other bathroom is located in the hallway between all of the bedrooms. There also is a small couch in the living room that pulls out into a small single bed that would fit two small children or one adult.
Our pool is ridiculously large and very enjoyable during lazy summer days and boasts a beautiful view of Cortona. During warmer months we have a hammock out under a circle of umbrella pines and afternoon naps are very enjoyable both there and by the pool. There also is a barbecue and large outdoor dining table and chairs for meals "al fresco", or you can enjoy lounging under the pergola. There is no TV but we don't think you will miss it; we do offer wifi in case you still need to be connected to the world. We are surrounded by small farms but are less than a 10 minute drive from the "centro storico" (historic center) of Cortona. My husband and I, our very friendly labradors Murphy & Stella and Guinness the cat live upstairs on the property and are more than happy to help you with local information, sightseeing advice as well as restaurant and local wine recommendations.
We produce local award winning L'arte dell'Olivo extra virgin olive oil and artisan balsamic vinegars and are happy to give our guests a free tasting during your stay.

|President Joyce Banda
The new President of Malawi, Mrs Joyce Banda has wasted no time in throwing away the trappings of presidential excess by promising to sell the $13 million presidential jet and fleet of Mercedes. Britain should continue to re-engage with Malawi and re-appoint a High Commissioner in Lilongwe after the former President Muthraika expelled Fergus Cochrane-Dyet in April 2011, resulting in the suspension of most British aid. The news of £30 million of new British aid and support for stabilising the economy is to be welcomed.
|Every day life for Malawians is very hard
Over the past two years, Malawi has spiralled into an economic mess with worse and worse presidential excesses as the people suffered. Maize prices shot up by 60% at the end of 2011. Anti-gay laws made the country a pariah in the West after two people were sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for being gay. Only after an international outcry did President Mutharika issue a pardon and release the men. President Banda announced on 22nd May that such laws would be repealed. The recent devaluation of the kwatcha whilst pushing up prices has resulted in a wave of international relief funding being released that will medium term begin to alleviate the chronic shortage of donor funds that account for 40% of the country's income. It is vital that such donor support is given to the country to soften the impact of the devaluation to build a viable economy. Just as important is long term investment to take Malawi out of poverty and create jobs and wealth through a stable economy that private business will want to invest in.
President Banda is only the second female head of state in Africa and has got off to a flying start. After police induced riots last summer, resulted in twenty people being shot dead, the President has sacked the police chief responsible. She has appointed a rainbow coalition of Ministers from all parties. However, her enemies in parliament, who attempted an army coup after Mutharika's death, will be watching very closely to try and defeat her and she will need to continue the modernisation programme to win over the people, if she is to stand a chance of election in 2014. She has even had the backbone to try and stop the indicted war criminal President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan accused of genocide, from attending next month's African Union meeting in Malawi.
It is time to re-Joyce and for Britain to back her and Malawi to the hilt. Restore full diplomatic relations now!

Home > Newsroom > News Search > Cone Health Family Medicine Center Repeats as Patient-Centered Medical Home
Published on March 12, 2015
For patients of Cone Health Family Medicine Center there really is no place like home. The center was designated as a level three Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) for a second time by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. The three-year designation recognizes physician practices that use patient-centered processes to provide coordinated care and long-term relationships.
"We practice prevention and help our patients manage conditions such as high-blood pressure or diabetes to avoid future problems," says Cone Health Family Medicine Center Director Kathryn Foster. "Since we have a family medicine residency program, the PCMH designation has the added benefit of helping our residents keep up with the best ways of providing primary care."
Cone Health Family Medicine Center met six standards for the designation – patient-centered access, team-based care, population health management, care management and support, care coordination and care transitions, and performance measurement and quality improvements.
"The Family Medicine Center staff has really worked hard to ensure we have the tools, systems and resources to provide our patients with the right care at the right time," says Cone Health Family Medicine Center Health Coach Suzanne Lineberry. Lineberry worked with the center's clinical and administration teams, Cone HealthLink leaders and Greensboro AHEC to complete the designation requirements.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co plans to invest $1 billion over the next five years in tech startup Argo AI with the target of developing an autonomous vehicle for production by 2021, the companies announced at a press conference on Friday.
The investment in Pittsburg-based Argo AI, which was founded by former executives in charge of self-driving teams at Google and Uber, will make Ford the company's largest shareholder. Ford Chief Executive Mark Fields said the investment is in line with previous announcements on planned capital expenditures.
Once the technology is fully developed for Ford, both companies said, it could be licensed to other companies.

It has been a LONG time since I have blogged! It is something that I wish I was more consistent at, but life happens and I forget! Oh well- It is a new day and here I am :)
Over the last couple of weeks I have gotten a lot of comments from people about how "I inspire them". This is so strange to me!! Why? lol I have had people tell me that they love to follow me on Facebook, people who get excited and can't wait to meet me. And People who have told me thank you for helping them get closer with their husband or that I am the reason they are growing closer to God.
I am so honored and very humbled by all of this! I am hearing it a lot lately- I think from 3 or 4 different people just this week. I appreciate it, and again thank you........ but it makes me think...... Why???

Elijah Wood and Simon Pegg are backing proposals to create a horror museum and film center at the real-life hotel that inspired The Shining.
The Stanley Hotel in Colorado inspired author Stephen King to create the Overlook Hotel in his horror novel, which was adapted into the 1980 film starring Jack Nicholson.
Ghost tours and a film festival are regularly held at the site, but the owners want to build The Stanley Film Center, a facility which will house a horror-themed museum, production studio, film archive, auditorium and educational space.
Wood, Pegg, Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero and Hocus Pocus screenwriter Mick Garris are among founding board members of the center.
The Lord of the Rings star says, "I would love to have a home for which we could constantly come year-round and celebrate with other fans from around the world... There's really no better place for there to be a permanent home for the celebration of horror as an art form than the Stanley Hotel. It was practically built for it."
The group hopes to receive $11.5 million in funding from the Colorado tourism board for the $24 million project.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
"I don't know how to say this, but -- you kind of look like you want to murder me," a male friend once told me as I stared at him intently.
Then we fooled around and had what I would call a solidly murder-free evening. I mean, he's probably still scared it could happen, but what else is new?
The truth of the matter is: I get the whole "You look like you're going to murder me" feedback from people a lot.
Mostly in staff meetings. Or with men.
"Do you have any idea how you're looking at me?" a co-worker once asked me. "Oh, no," I apologized. "It's my murder face, isn't it?"
The co-worker seemed relieved this was finally out in the open now.
"Yeahhhh," I said, "that's just kind of my face."
This goes way beyond the whole Bitchy Resting Face epidemic. This is Murder Resting Face.
I can think of many a date, interview and cocktail party impression that has been forever sullied by BRF. Feedback I have gotten includes:
I really don't think that I secretly have some homicidal fetish. (Although I am a Scorpio, which I always shorthand as "blood, sex and death" so.)
I tried to capture the look by taking selfies during our last staff meeting while everyone else worked around me and tried to ignore me.
Instead of Murder Resting Face, though, I captured: Depressed Resting Face. Nervous Resting Face. And -- as one might expect -- Crazy Person Taking Too Many Selfies Resting Face. But no MRF in sight.
"No," Emily said. "It's more like when you space out and your nostrils kind of flare, your eyes slit and you look like you might just stab us to death at any moment."
"Gotcha," I said. "That helps. I can recreate that."
When I think about it, I never suffer from Murder Resting Face when I'm posing for pictures (I just imagine a sexy secret!) or if I'm doing a TV appearance (I just imagine Nancy Grace has a sexy secret!). Then I'm all smiles and twinkly eyes. But the rest of the time, all bets are off.
"Wait, wait, you're doing it right now," Emily told me when I started to zone out. "Quick, get a camera."
"I am?" I asked. What the hell. I'm not even in control of the MRF anymore. IT'S IN CONTROL OF ME.
Where do I go? What am I thinking?
I suppose I did have a dream recently where all my exes were dying off in some violent manner, but I was not the one doing the murdering (still, dark dream, am I right?). And I do love me some murder shows, from "Law & Order" to "The Following," so maybe there's some unacknowledged homicidal fetish I have lurking beneath my subconscious that only manifests itself during office interactions and casual sex.
"What about this picture?" I asked Emily when I showed her one of the 8,000 selfies I took.
"Not quite," she considered. "You need more murder and less pretty."
And then, finally -- I thought I had it.
"Yes, that's it," Jane said when I showed her the pic. "Now -- just imagine what it's like to see that staring across from you."
Oh, boy.
"Sorry," I said. "I swear I really am not going to stab you."
Always a good thing to say to your boss, by the way. And maybe a good headline to add to my resume and online dating profile as well?
I suppose this is clearly an area I need to work on. Or maybe I should just own it. Like if I carried around some knives to distract from the whole Murder Face thing. (Which came first, the Murder Face or the purse filled with knives?)
Now that I think about it, maybe I'll just start carrying around handouts to give to strangers:
"To whom it may concern, while you might be fearing for your life right now, I assure you, your safety is my highest concern, and probably I'm just deep in thought. One thing is for sure though. I am definitely not going to murder you. Enjoy the rest of your subway ride!"

When you think of Sony franchises, your mind likely first goes to action/platform games like God of War or Ratchet & Clank. Even when you think of racing games on Sony consoles, you'll likely conjure an image of Gran Turismo. All the while, sitting quietly in the wings isWipEout. The futuristic racing franchise all about speed and power has been quietly humming along for over a decade now, and suddenly it has burst onto the PS3 with a vengeance. With WipEout HD's gorgeous visuals, incredibly deep campaign and lag-free online play, this is one racing game that everyone needs to check out.
Fans of the series will likely feel instantly familiar with WipEout HD, and that is largely because all of the tracks have been culled from the last two PSP releases in the series, WipEout Pure and WipEout Pulse. This reuse of old content isn't a bad thing, though, as their new presentation on the big screen in high-def will make you marvel and just what wondrous creations they are. Tracks that already looked pretty darn good on Sony's handheld device really come to life here, and it's likely you'll experience more than a few crashes from spending too much time marveling at the scenery and not enough time concentrating on that sharp right-hand turn that suddenly gets thrown your way.
This well-received upgrading and newfound attention to detail isn't restricted to just the tracks, as the ships you command also look incredible. Each vehicle is rendered expertly, sleek and sexy, with each simply exuding attitude in its design. These beasts are intimidating in the best way, and there will likely be moments that it pains you they aren't real. Simply put, WipEout HD is absolutely gorgeous and easily one of the most visually impressive games I have seen in this generation, downloadable or otherwise.
Once you've stopped marveling at just good the game looks, it's time to jump headfirst into the experience. The new title features eight overarching states, each of which uses the grid progression system present in the PSP titles. Whenever you start a stage, you'll see a large cluster of hexagonal grids, with only the middle ones available. Once you complete whatever challenge lies in one grid, it unlocks all those adjacent to it, allowing you to branch out and find events best suited for your abilities. While you'll ultimately need to complete every event on the later stages in order to advance, you can at least cherry-pick your best events while you're starting out and focus on honing your skills and taking the gold. It's a nice little dose of freedom most racing games don't embrace, and being able to choose your own method of progression will help you compensate for your weaker events by allowing you to really nail your times and positions in your stronger ones.
As far as race modes themselves, there are a fair number of options to choose from. You are given the standard single race and tournament options where you take the field against seven other competitors, as well as the more time-sensitive speed lap and time trial events. Races against the field test both your piloting skills and your trigger finger, as each course features both speed boosts and weapons pick-ups. Missiles, plasma cannons, and shields are all yours for the taking, and weapons can even be absorbed to repair damage to your own ship. This is a particularly clever mechanic, as late-stage AI is incredibly aggressive even at the novice difficulty setting, and you'll need to carefully balance offense and defense in order to keep your ship intact while fighting through the pack. It's a beautiful bit of strategy that nicely balances what would otherwise be a racer where you simply hold down the accelerator and hope for the best.
In addition to these more standard modes, WipEout also features Zone, which is basically a test of survival. During one of these races, it's just you and the course, with your ship's speed steadily increasing the longer you survive. Your goal is to keep your vehicle from flying apart for as long as possible, which is none too easy once you start hitting the super-phantom and Zen speed classes. Zone is the epitome of white-knuckle driving and is almost guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping.
Zone is also where you'll likely get the greatest appreciation for WipEout's soundtrack, which features the same driving techno music you've come to expect. In these races, the track morphs into a sort of giant mixing board, with the landscape changing color and the racetrack itself thumping along with the beat. I couldn't help but feel as I played that I had slipped into a game of Amplitude or Audiosurf, but the aesthetic was actually quite pleasing.
Sadly, one of my personal favorite race modes has been cut from this version of the game, with Eliminator nowhere to be seen. This mode, present on Pulse, set you on the course with seven other AI drivers and tasked you with using weapons to eliminate them all and be the last man standing. Unfortunately, it seems as though Sony wanted to put the emphasis back on racing and move combat to the backseat at the expense of what was a very enjoyable race type.
Unless you are an incredibly adept player, there will likely come a point where you hit a progress wall in the single-player experience and decide to migrate over to multiplayer for a while. There aren't a lot of multiplayer modes to go around (you're restricted to single races and tournaments), but what is there has been perfected, so you likely won't even notice the lack of variety. Online bouts are among the smoothest I have ever seen, and I never once ran into any lag whatsoever, even playing on a wireless connection with gamers from all across the globe. I kept waiting for a stutter or stammer, but none ever came; it was the personification of excellence.
I know I have been gushing a bit over this game, but honestly, it deserves it. Even though it's a truly incredible experience, it's still not perfect, but the little things don't bring it down. First, there's really little in the way of ship upgrades, with all vehicles being locked into the same performance parameters for the duration of the game. You do earn loyalty for using the same ship repeatedly, but the only reward for doing so is alternate skins that have no effect on performance. Also, as alluded to above, WipEout HD is a very challenging game during the later stages. Things start off easy enough, but once you reach the fifth or sixth stage, you'll begin to struggle mightily. Suddenly, speed laps require near-impossible precision in order to clear, and time trial events are so tightly timed that even a slight misstep will have you heading for the restart menu. Opponents get nastier as well, with competitors hitting more boost pads, taking tighter turns and becoming even deadlier with their weapons. You're given a choice at this point in the game to either buckle down and become an amazing racer, or throw up your hands in frustration and quit. I fear that many people may choose the latter.
Still, in spite of these minor flaws there is really absolutely no reason to not buy WipEout HD. It is beautiful, it is deep, and it is only $20. While some might say, "It's just a retread," WipEout HD is so much more, taking the previous two games in the series and fully realizing their potential, all while giving us a glimpse of things to come. I really can't recommend this game highly enough; if you aren't playing it yet, you should be.
Score: 9.3/10

Six months after Katie Holmes blindsided her devout Scientologist husband Tom Cruise by filing for divorce, In Touch learns exclusively of an upcoming documentary that will reveal the deepest secrets of the church and revelations about its celebrity followers.
"One of the most powerful things about this documentary is that those interviewed took part in the wrongdoing themselves," says Tony Ortega, a longtime Scientology critic who contributed to the film. "They're speaking out, revealing everything Scientology tried to bury."
NEWS: Tom and Katie Divorcing
The movie will deliver an insider-driven, unflattering picture of the secretive organization to which the actress once belonged. And with Tom still one of the church's most loyal and high-profile followers, there's bound to be some dirt on him that he surely wouldn't want revealed.
Katie's swift break from her husband — and from his strict religion — has inspired many others to speak out against the church, labeling her an unintentional heroine for those who also feel trapped.
"They can't silence us anymore," Tony tells In Touch. "They can't control all of us. It's over."

Taupo Region Fly Fishing Clothing
Winter temperatures in the Taupo region from May to October average 55º Fahrenheit, with summer temperatures averaging 75º.
We suggest anglers bring their own favourite fly rod and reels that they are used to, along with rubber-soled wading boots (felt-soled boots are not allowed in New Zealand) and gortex waders that fit well and they are used to wearing. Tongariro Lodge guides can provide all flies and leaders any equipment the anglers do not have and this is included in the guiding fee. If you need us to provide waders and boots please provide shoe size and height.
We recommend the following gear:
- Light-weight Gore-Tex waders with rubber-soled wading boots (felt-soled boots are not allowed in New Zealand).
- Good quality polarised glasses
- Heavy wool socks
- Wide brimmed hat
- Wool sweater
- Rain jacket
Taupo Region Fly Fishing Tackle
A weight 5 or 6, 9ft fly rod with a 7/8 outfit for larger rivers, lakes and winter fly fishing. We recommend the use of local fly patterns provided by our guides, although some American dry flies (in sizes 12 to 14) are popular — including Royal Wulff, Elk Hair Caddis, Humpy, Irresistible, Stimulators and Cicada imitations. Tapered leaders which are 9-16 feet long with 4-6 lb tippet work best.

If I asked you, do you fish? And you reside on planet earth... your response might be, why of course I fish. Then if I asked how its gets interesting real quick.
Take the folks in the southern United States that fish with there hands its called noodling. The fisherperson simply reaches into a catfish hole and hopes the catfish latches on and is hoisted to shore. In Great Britain it's called trout ticking. You slowly rub the trout's stomach, numbing it abit, and toss it ashore.
I don't know if this is legal anymore but in days of old they had trout binningâ. Large rocks were slammed with a sledge hammer in a river. The force of the blow stunned the fish long enough for a fisherman to scoop them out of the river.
Free divingâ is still practiced in many places. You simply scuba dive or snorkel to the bottom of the ocean with a basket and grab onto any shellfish you might find.
Spear fishing, bow fishing, harpoons or gigging has been around since time began. Single sharp poles evolved into pronged tridents and morphed into bows for longer shots or more power. Gigging was popular at night with torches, lanterns or flashlights for forking frogs.
Seines, trawlers, gill, trap, cast, hoop, drift, are types of nets used in the art of taking one or more fish in any myriad water conditions not to mention how the mesh screen dictated the catch able fish size from the smallest alewives to massive heavy gilled salmon.
Kite fishing took a boat less shore angler and got his lure trolled along the coast in hopes of hooking anything shore cruising. Not to popular, wasn't too effective. But it may have been fun all the same.
Fishing is and has been done with dams created to interfere with migrating fish, weirs to expose fish or concentrate them and traps still very effective and widely used for lobsters and crabs with baiting.
Dredging fish had two different methods. One is being done away with as it is very destructive to the ocean floor. Basically a heavy metal scoop dragged, filled and winched topside. In some Asian countries small channels were built by mounding or digging small trenches or dredging out the soil and rough fish would navigate these small impoundments.
Electro fishing is still widely practiced, usually reserved for research, but not always. There are some who walk on stilts and zap fish from as high as ten feet in the air in low surf conditions. It's a long pole with a battery that does the trick. It looks like human storks on stilts and the youngsters follow or retrieve the catch with baskets.
If you want you can teach or train cormorants to do the fishing for you. Birds that naturally prey under water for fish are neck restricted with rubber bands, dive and harvest and resurface. Then you basically get the bird to upchuck in your hand.
Mild toxins, poisons and explosives are no longer legal for the average Joe. But lakes are reclaimed (poisoned) in many instances if rough fish or an undesirable invasive takes over a once productive water body. State agencies do this style of terminal fishing.
If that doesn't work there is basically one method left. It's called angling. You just use a hook line and sinker. You can spice it up in a variety of ways with fly rods or trolling but it's a pretty popular way to fish no matter where you live these days.

im gonna start being consisting with my pe exersises. i do do jeqing sometimes but not consistently. i wanna gain at least 1 inch in length and 1 inch in girth if possible. i dont have a lot of time to do the exercises but will i get any results if i only stretch and jelq 3 times a week? or could i just jelq? any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Starting out, use one of these routines. They are developed for new guys like you. Some guys do gain 1" in length from the JP90 (most don't gain that much but some do). Just be careful with that one; it's very intense.

alright thank you, does jelqing actually give length? i just dont understand how that would work increasing length. i would prefer to jelq than stretch because stretching wont increase girth. but i dont understand how someone can get longer length by jelqing since theres not stretching involved?
- 09-15-2010 #4
Do both. Stretching will help a little with base girth & jelqing will help with girth on the rest of your shaft. Yes, both give length too--they are complimentary.
Trust me, one of those routines is where you want to start. After that you can switch to something like pumping & jelqing, or go for more girth specific exercises (assuming you're just going for girth). A lot of guys don't use devices at all...
Anyway, once you finish a beginner routine you'll be prepared for whatever you want to do next & you'll have some experience & hopefully some gains under your belt too--literally

It definitely feels like stretching helps length gains more than jelqing but I would agree with Blink that they compliment each other.
What sort of stretches did you do? What are the best stretches for length though? JP's stretches are all directions and hold, is that most effective?24 August 2010, Start:NBPEL: 13 cm/5.12"-EG: 13 cm/5.12"
ST Goal (3m): NBPEL: 14.6 cm/5.75"s - EG: 14cm/5.52"
LT Goal (1yr): NBPEL: 16.5 cm/6.5" - EG: 14.6cm/5.75"

1 dead, 3 injured in boat crash in Southport
1 dead, 3 injured in boat crash in Southport
Authorities say one person was killed and three injured after a boat hit a platform near a marina in Southport.
North Carolina Wildlife Commission Sgt. Ben Meyer said 57-year-old Barbara Pierce died at a Wilmington hospital a short time after the crash around 9 p.m. Saturday.
Meyer says Pierce's husband was driving the 20-foot boat and was moving out of the way of another boat on the Cape Fear River when he hit a concrete pillar while going at least 25 mph.
Authorities say another boat rescued one person in the water, and a Coast Guard boat was able to rescue Pierce and two others who were on the platform.
Meyer called the crash an accident and says alcohol is not suspected.

Places have the right to charge for whatever service they want and if you use that service and do not pay then you do not get to walk away.

Yes, What one would call a very stupid move. Just because of maybe a dozen people a day using it and they might even buy something. If they did not buy something that time, if your food looked and smelled good, they most likely would come back for a different meal.
Barnes said she wasn't angry about the bill, which she attempted to pay, twice, and which the Flood Zone owners refused ("I would not take her $5," Lisa told Shine). What did upset her, though, was that the police shared her and husband Randy Edwards' address with Lisa so she could mail the bill.

windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
Help this BSOD is killing me right now
So I just recently starting getting this BSOD and so far I cant get rid of it. I ran the diagnostics when your comp starts up and I passed all the test so I tried systems restore about 3-4 times and all of them were UNSUCCESSFUL. So now im typing this thread on safe mode to try and find some solutions to my problem.
Btw, I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. It was upgraded in the beginning of 2010 and never had any problems with it, rarely ill get the BSOD but now I dont know whats wrong with it??
Help please.
I also forgot the mention I ran virus scans and found nothing wrong.
|My System Specs
|18 Jan 2012
Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. SP1.
These crashes were caused by a memory exception - possibly caused by ataport.sys.
Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!!
*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.
If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.
2-Driver verifier
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

West Ham United forward Enner Valencia has joined Everton on a season- long loan, despite holding talks with Swansea City prior to the close of the summer transfer window.
The Ecuador international has signed for an undisclosed fee, with the option of a permanent transfer at the end of the season for £14.5 million.
The 26-year old becomes the fourth signing from a Premier League side to arrive at Goodison Park following initial acquisition of: Yannick Bolasie [Crystal Palace], Ashley Williams [Swansea City], and Brendan Galloway [West Brom].
Early life
Born Enner Remberto Valencia on 4 November 1989, in San Lorenzo Ecuador, he spent his entire youth career with local side Caribe Junior before signing for Emelec in the Ecuadorian Serie A, in 2010.
He transferred to the Mexican top flight three years later, but it wasn't until the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil that Valencia began to draw interest from European clubs.
Despite bowing out of the tournament in the group stage, Valencia scored three goals for Ecuador, compelling West Ham to sign him from Pachuca for a reported £12 million.
Can he charge the Toffees?
Having already made six appearances for the Hammers this season, the forward was driven to push for a loan move following the arrival of Simone Zaza at the London Stadium.
Everton may have registered an impressive start to their Premier League campaign- with seven points after three games, leaving them forth on the standings- but Ronald Koeman's side suffered a late setback when Moussa Sissoko duped the Merseyside outfit for Tottenham.
Be that as it may, Enner Valencia could prove vital in their campaign for a European qualification, more so with Romelu Lukaku's inconsistency.

September 11 marked a very different occasion in Chile. It was 40 years ago that a CIA backed military operation ousted a democratically elected
president and launched 17 years of fear and violence on the nation. Chilean artists only survived if they went in to exile and film schools were
closed. Expression wasn't encouraged so it's incredible that today these Chilenos and Chilenas have a voice and have made such an impact on the
international film landscape.
They came through the dictatorship and have an admiration and camaraderie with one another that inspires each other with
an unbreakable bond. Today is Chilean Independence day and we wanted to ask these filmmakers who has inspired them. As a Chileno, I

A Reprieve, but for Whom?
The latest ObamaCare delay is self-serving.
"The Obama administration is set to announce another major delay in implementing the Affordable Care Act," the Hill reports. Ho hum, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. But look at the next phrase: "easing election pressure on Democrats."
Assuming the report is accurate--the administration's response yesterday to the Hill's queries was that "they had no updates to announce"--this looks like an especially cynical move. The idea, as described by the Hill, is to minimize the number of consumers...

You are here:
Gary Turner was a dynamic and charismatic pastor who went home to be with The Lord on Sunday, September 4, 2005.
The 49-year-old Arkadelphia native was in the presence of his wife, Lisa, and their two sons, Matt and Andy, when his two-and-half year battle with leukemia came to an end at UAMS Hospital in Little Rock.
After becoming a minister in his early teens, Gary later served as senior pastor at Third Street Baptist Church in Arkadelphia for 25 consecutive years.
Gary was a Christ-like man, a dedicated husband, father, and leader to his congregation and community. He was well known for his charisma, knowledge, humor and willingness to help people from all walks of life. God used those qualities to help Third Street become one of the fastest growing churches in Arkansas and established Gary as one of the most beloved ministers in the area.
Less than 48 hours before Gary took his final breath, he asked his family to record a message for members of Third Street Baptist Church.
Gary managed to remove his oxygen mask long enough to speak the following words:
"To the greatest church that God ever gave a preacher, Third Street Baptist Church: There is no church in history that I know of that would do what this church has done for me. I don't deserve it, but I'm glad they're doing it.
I know that Job Chapter Five says that God will preserve our every way. If it's the fiery darts of the battlefield, or going out like this, to suffocate one breath at a time, that's irrelevant. How you go is not important, it's where you go.
You don't have to be a Methodist, or a Baptist, or a Presbyterian, or any other group to get to heaven. God showed you, you don't have to have the right color, you don't have to have the right amount of money -- you just have to love Him.
And I love you.
And God bless you. And stick to the word of God. Don't fight. Don't air your dirty laundry. Don't fight. There's a better way."
Gary Turner's list of accomplishments and honors are countless, but he most recently received the Adam Blakely award, the Arkadelphia Chamber of Commerce President's award, and was named a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International. He served the community in various ways, belonging to numerous boards and committees.
Turner was the past president of the Arkadelphia School Board, the Clark County American Heart Association, and Woodmen of the World Lodge 233. He also served on the executive board for the Red River Baptist Association, the executive board for Courage House, the board of directors for Hospitality Care Center, the board of directors for Arkadelphia Little League, chairman of the board for the Clark County Christmas Store, chairman of the board for Brushy Creek Campground and chairman of the board for Arkadelphia Kids' Club. He was a member of the Ecumenical Disaster Committee, a member of the Human Rights Committee for the Arkadelphia Human Development Center, and Chaplain for the Clark County Sheriff's department and Arkadelphia Police department.
His list of duties also included: officiating a large number of funerals and weddings, visiting hospitals, and counseling families through difficult times. But despite his obligations, Gary always found plenty of time for his wife and children, who he adored.
