Second, I've had a few people ask if there will be a sequel for Colt and Cheyenne. Honestly? I can't find it in myself to sling more in their direction. To write an interesting book, I have to have conflict and I am way too tender-hearted to toss anything else Colt and Cheyenne's way. They've been through SO very much already that I just want them to be happy. Yeah they're still working on personal aspects of their lives, but we know they're going to be okay. I just can't make myself throw more heartache their way.
That being said… I do have what I hope will be the next best thing! That happens to be a companion novel. Remember that guy…what was his name? Colt's friend. Oh yeah. Adrian. That guy. He will be getting a book! Yay.
From the scene where Adrian saw Cheyenne at the party and he said, "Hey baby," I knew he would be getting a book. It wasn't until later that I knew what his story would be, but little by little, he's let me in and I now have the pieces to Adrian I need. And I will warn you…he's had a hard past and he has some major pain and guilt going on inside him.
So, Adrian's book will be book two in "The Games" series (tried to add the series title to Charade on Goodreads, but I'm not a librarian so I can't. I haven't had the chance to request yet). All four of the main people: Colt, Cheyenne, Adrian and his heroine all are/were playing a game of some sort, with themselves or everyone else.
There's not a lot I can give away about the book right now, but I CAN share the title.
Are you ready?
Do you want to know it?
Are you screaming at me right now (or possibly rolling your eyes at my dorkiness)?
The title to Adrian's book and book two in The Games series will be…
Wow… that felt sort of anticlimactic. LOL.
And for those of you who are wondering YES Colt and Chey will be there, so you'll get to check in on them and see how they're doing. You know me and my friends. I gotta keep them all together.
FAÇADE will be released late Spring 2013.

Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani? That appears to be the ongoing debate over President-elect Donald Trump's options for Secretary of State in his administration.
But a third option is emerging, as former general and CIA director David Petraeus is expected to meet with Trump today, according to the Trump transition team.
Last week, Petraeus appeared willing to serve in the Trump administration during an interview with BBC radio.
"If you're asked, you've got to serve – put aside any reservations based on campaign rhetoric … and figure out what's best for the country," he said.
According to Trump transition sources speaking to Bloomberg News, Trump is considering Petraeus as Secretary of State. Trump transition officials confirmed with reporters that the president-elect would meet with Mitt Romney again on Tuesday, as well as Sen. Bob Corker, another rumored candidate for Secretary of State.
Petraeus successfully led the successful Iraq surge under President George W. Bush before President Barack Obama appointed him to direct the Central Intelligence Agency. He resigned from the Obama administration after he was caught sharing classified documents with his mistress Paula Broadwell who was also writing a book about him.
In 2013, Trump praised Petraeus after the scandal, urging him to move on with his career.
"General Petraeus should stop apologising and get on with his life," he wrote on Twitter. "He is a good man and should have a great future."
General Petraeus should stop apologising and get on with his life. He is a good man and should have a great future.

That trend will continue next week. The No.25 Gators (4-0, 2-0 SEC) will travel to take on Missouri (3-1, 0-1 SEC) on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in a game aired on SEC Network.
Florida has dropped two straight meetings against Missouri. The two-time defending SEC East champions have defeated the Gators by a combined score of 78-30 over that time.
The Gators are coming off a 28-27 comeback win over Tennessee on Saturday. The Tigers suffered a 21-13 road loss to Kentucky last week and have scored 22 points over the past two games.

Kamagra is often the drug that is most required by men when they are facing issues with erectile function. The pills can help to effectively overcome erectile dysfunction (ED), but users need options to obtain the medication quickly when it is not available at the local brick-and-mortar drugstore. One day delivery of Kamagra is essential when you are running low on stock or do not have the medication on hand but want to overcome ED to be with your partner.
Online pharmacies have now made it possible to order the medication and receive it the very next day through overnight delivery. There does not have to be a prolonged waiting period of more than two week when ordering any medication online. Get to know how you can purchase Kamagra overnight delivery online and utilize the service when you order the pills next.
What are the ways to obtain Kamagra overnight delivery online?
It can definitely be ordered with overnight delivery online. Being aware of one's options will help to get the ED pills delivered quickly. The easiest way to avail Kamagra next day delivery is to choose the right shipping method while placing the order. Express shipping services like FedEx, DHL, and UPS are options that can be chosen from when deciding on when you want the ED medication delivered to you.
Use an online pharmacy that can really accommodate your requirement for express delivery of Kamagra. For this, you would have to check with the place and see if the order can be processed and shipped right away. Some places that promise next day delivery may not really follow through. Since the ED pills are required for use quickly, letting the online drugstore know that you expect it to reach you fast will help as they usually comply with such requests.
Buying Kamagra next day delivery online
The important step to obtaining the medication online the very next day after placing the order lies in choosing the suitable online drugstore. Go for the place that has multiple shipping options available to enable fast delivery. There may be shipping charges added to your order according to the service chosen. There are possibilities of getting this fee waived off when making a bulk purchase of Kamagra. Learn the shipping and refund policies of the internet drugstore used so you know your options in case of any problems. The online pharmacy chosen should preferably be located in the same country as you or has facilities to enable express shipping. With these guidelines in mind, you can easily available Kamagra online with next day delivery and take the medication without any delay.

Community banks are still regaining their footing, but a little-known provision in the Dodd-Frank Act could help them find opportunities once they are ready to grow again.
The law eliminated barriers to de novo interstate branching, letting banks open offices in 25 states that had once been off-limits. In an environment where growth will be challenging, the law gives banks, especially those along state borders, a way to court new business.
"It opens up a market that otherwise might not have had a market," Philip Smith, the president of Gerrish McCreary Smith, a law firm in Memphis, Tenn., said of the provision. "We no longer have imaginary lines. We can simply go where the business is."
Before the change, only thrifts were allowed to open branches anywhere outside their home states. About half the states had reciprocal agreements permitting such branching. Other states, such as Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and New Jersey, were even more limiting, requiring banks to first buy charters to cross state lines.
"It was harder for community banks to actually follow their customers," said Buz Gorman, the general counsel at the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, which backed the measure. "Whereas the big banks tended to buy market share anyway; they didn't tend to open de novo branches."
Gorman said state-regulated banks were at a particular disadvantage, because national banks were given more leeway to set up branchlike operations, such as a loan production offices, deposit-gathering sites or automated teller machines staffed with employees, in other states.
Under the new rules, a state must allow an out-of-state bank to open a branch, to the same extent that it would allow its own state-chartered banks to open branches.
Industry observers said the provision will be most appealing to banks along state lines, especially near cities such as Memphis; St. Louis; or Savannah, Ga.
Those banks often have a tougher time serving customers, who might live on one side of the border and work on the other.
"It simply allows them to compete in whatever the relevant market is," Smith said. "If that happens to be five miles down the road in a higher growth area, but it happens to be over state lines, so be it."
CoastalStates Bank in Hilton Head, S.C., has always been interested in expanding into Savannah, Randy Dolyniuk, the $405.2 million-asset company's chief executive, said in an interview this week.
Although the demographics in its home county are strong, Savannah — just 33 miles away — is an economic hub with about $4.6 billion of deposits and 7,700 businesses. Opening new branches there was not an option, until now.
"The national banks had a little bit easier time than state banks have had, so we as state banks have always said, 'Give us the same rights as everyone else,' " Dolyniuk said. "I think the Dodd-Frank bill has definitely made some parity in getting everyone on the same playing field."
Industry observers said it could take time before banks flood regulators with applications.
While advisers say they have heard from clients inquiring about the details, few are seriously thinking about de novo branching just yet.
"Branching has kind of fallen by the wayside, any kind of branching," said Randy Dennis, the president of DD&F Consulting in Little Rock, Ark.
In many of the states where interstate branching impediments were lifted, opportunities to bid on failed banks or buy a struggling bank are still more attractive than investing in a brick-and-mortar operation.
Others simply won't be able to get regulatory approval for a revised business plan — a requirement for a bank that wants to pursue interstate branching, said James Wheeler, a partner at Morris, Manning & Martin in Atlanta.
Others still may be uncertain about what the provision actually allows, Smith said. He said some bankers are still skeptical that the new rules won't put them at a disadvantage.
"It's going to take in my opinion probably one of the big players or somebody using that power to do something," Smith said. "I think once we hear the first banks doing that and being successful, we'll see more of that developing."

Consumer & Leisure
We believe the key values accelerating the growth of companies in the consumer & leisure sector are: international expansion, multi-channel and online growth, brand development, polarisation (value/premium positioning) and operational excellence.
We have invested and seek to invest in, for example the following sub-sectors:
- Consumer Goods: Strong brands capable of internationalisation and innovation, commanding and protecting attractive margins (Marlies Dekkers)
- Food and Drink: Products which meet consumers' growing demand for convenience and indulgence. Businesses that recognise the increasing importance of health, food provenance and resource sustainability (Ad van Geloven)
- Leisure: Companies which are benefiting from increasing consumer demand and spend on health, eating out, self-improvement and other activities (SportCity, 2theloo)
- E-commerce: Pure play and multinational specialists operating in specific niches where they can offer a differentiated customer proposition, rather than just lower prices
- Education: Companies that are meeting the challenges and opportunities of 21th century learning. Typically they bring technical innovative products and/or disruptive business models to the market.

Benoit discovered his love for music at an early age and has spent most of his 34 years on the planet pursuing it. "My earliest memories were musical memories, like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin," Benoit recalls. "I remember feeling really drawn in by that when I was 5, 6, 7 years old. I remember how I felt when I found out that Ray Charles was blind. I still feel that way when I see him."
Benoit found a lesson in the resilience and joy of Charles' music, despite the pianist's blindness. It's a lesson he extends to blues music in general.
"His music didn't sound down. [I realized that] blues wasn't music to bring you down," Benoit says. "It was music to bring you up -- dance music; happy, "celebrate life' music; music that says, "This is life. It ain't heaven, it ain't perfect. It wasn't supposed to be in the first place.'"
There was no jumping blues scene in the boggy bayou of Houma. "The road in front of my house ends at the swamp," Benoit relates. "And you go some more in a boat and reach the Gulf."
So Benoit began traveling two hours to Baton Rouge to play at Tabby Thomas' Blues Box club, where he found kindred spirits in Thomas, Raful and Kenny Neal, and others. "Tabby said, "We don't play no rock & roll here; we don't play nothing but the blues here," Benoit recalls. "I said, "Man, I've been waiting to hear that all my life.'"
Soon, against Thomas' "don't sign nothing!" advice, Benoit inked a deal with Texas-based Justice Records, recording and performing in a guitar-centric style that invoked inevitable comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and others. "At that time [1992], people were looking for the next Stevie Ray -- someone to take his place," Benoit says.
His record label and his producers "used [Vaughan] as a marketing tool. It was easy -- too easy. It wasn't going to work. I'd seen too many copy guys, and I didn't want to be associated with that."
Benoit reflects on that time -- and his first two recordings -- with chagrin and regret, because he didn't have control over his music or his image. But the guitarist acknowledges he learned plenty as a result of the experience.
You can hear the difference in his latest recording, Wetlands, which captures the energy and flavor of blues, Cajun (sans accordion) and other roots influences in a personal, contemporary fashion. The plainly derivative Albert King/Stevie Ray signature licks are nowhere to be found. It's no overstatement to say that the album is an artistic breakthrough for Benoit.
"I'm trying to make sure that whatever I feel in my heart gets to the people through the music, and that nothing gets in the way of that," says Benoit. "I'm putting more of myself into it -- and when it get more personal, it's going to mean more."
Tab Benoit will perform Friday, August 30, at the Double Door. Call 376-1446 for more information.

Something that looks an awful lot like an iPhone screen that's gained weight recently popped up on a Chinese reseller's website, suggesting that Apple might very well be working on a smartphone with four-inch display.
Reports have emerged in the last few weeks that the company is 'completely redesigning' its flagship phone, with 9to5mac claiming that the iPhone 5 is expected to sport an integrated SIM card, an upgraded processor known as the A5, a Gobi WWAN chip, along with the edge-to-edge display.
The supposed leak follows comments from Apple's acting CEO, Tim Cook, who tacitly suggest the company may be considering a cheaper iPhone when he claimed it doesn't want its products to be "just for the rich," and is "not ceding any market."
Along with rumours of an 'iPhone nano' is talk of a prototype iPhone with a slide-out touchscreen and physical keypad. The development that would be highly unlikely, and leads Australian Macworld to suggest that perhaps the entire round of speculation is hokum.

"whoricane" (n) a woman that comes in, blows stuff around, destroys relationships & leaves.
Whoricane Annie really did some damage last weekend.
by madmom72 March 06, 2013
A promiscuous female, whom hooks up with roommates within a one week period. Usually found in college, this individual leaves a path of whorish destruction- usually culminating in ripping off the signs on the victims door.

This is why I don't drink tequila. I woke up this morning, and my entire apartment looked like it was hit by an F5 whoricane. There was a trail of clothing starting with my left shoe in the driveway, and ending with my shredded panties on at the foot of the bed.

Jivana Ritau Begins, New Flag Raised
The rust-colored flag was raised today to begin the Jivana Ritau, fall season in the North, spring season in the South. Following our tradition on TAKA we bring you a vision of this season with a summary from Bodhinatha and excerpts from the Saiva Dharma Shastras (get a copy or read on line).
Gurudeva describes this season as a natural time for work, that it is a physical time, a time of exercise and exertion in the physical world, a magnetic time for action and willpower.
The focus is on preserving what has been created, manifesting goals and fulfilling plans made in the past, finishing jobs already started.
It is a natural time for caring for the practical details of the external world including the environment.
Special Sadhanas
There are a number of special sadhanas for the Jivana Ritau.
The main study is the Nandinatha Sutras both at home and at the Mission Satsang. Specifically go through the sutras as well as review your daily sadhanas looking for the ones that have been neglected or totally ignored. Strive to ma ke improvements in those areas. Bring up to date all vratas and sadhanas in which you have gotten behind.
The Jivana Ritau is the season we emphasize culture. Thus it is a time for putting more emphasis on teaching the traditional 64 kalas to children, for learning new Natchintanai songs of Satguru Yogaswami and for improving our Sanskrit puja chants.
It is also the time for honoring those in the vanaprastha asrama including asking them to share their wisdom.
112 Introduction
Beginning with Hindu New Year in mid-April, three seasons of the year divide our activities into three great needs of humankind--the learning of scripture in the first season, Nartana Ritau; the living of culture in the second season, Jivana Ritau; and the meditating on Siva in the third season, Moksha Ritau. Thus we are constantly reminded that our life is Siva's life and our path to Him is through study, sadhana and realization. In ritau one, we teach the philosophy; in ritau two, we teach the culture; and in ritau three, we teach meditation.
117 The Second Season: Jivana Ritau
During Jivana Ritau, the rainy season, from mid-August to mid-December, Living with Siva: Hinduism's Contemporary Culture is the primary text. The key word of this season is work. The colors are rust, copper-maroon and all shades of red--rust for earthy preservation, copper-maroon for fulfillment and red for physical energy. The Aadheenam's 60-foot flag pole flies the rust-colored dhvaja, symbolizing environmental care. Copper-maroon and all shades of red adorn our smaller flags. This is the season of honoring and showing appreciation for those in the vanaprastha ashrama, life's elder advisor stage. The focus is on preserving what has been created, manifesting goals and fulfilling plans made in the past. Inwardly the emphasis is on direct cognition and caring for the practical details of the external world. Practicality is a word much used this season. In the monasteries and the missions, there is a big push on studying the sutras of Living with Siva and these Saiva Dharma Shastras. The format of the mission satsanga changes into one that in fact helps everyone live and breathe with Lord Siva through personal adjustment to the aphorisms of Living with Siva, which define tradition, culture and protocol. Gurukulams are established or renewed to teach the 64 kalas for boys and girls. All work hard to perfect and strengthen Saivite culture in the life of each member. Kulamatas, grihinis and their daughters should think ahead and make plans to send talented children to dancing, singing and art schools for special courses, and ponder ways to make this possible through scholarships and special funds. It is a time of building and repairing and caring for what has been built, planted or created in any realm of life. It is a physical time, of exercise and exertion in the Bhuloka, a magnetic time for action and willpower, of finishing all jobs started since the first ritau. On the farm, there is harvesting of the land's fruits as we celebrate abundance. In the missions during Jivana Ritau, the shishyas can form tirukuttams, and thereby visit students' homes, see how they live and meet their families.

Path to Siva Commentaries
Why Are We Vegetarian?
Vegetarianism: Man's natural and noble diet with a minimum of hurt to other beings. The object of nutrition for meditation and for help on the spiritual path is to practice mitahara--eating a moderate quantity of quality clean fresh vegetarian food. Four types of food: fresh, dead, clean and dirty. "Siva's devotees know that a good diet is the best medicine. They drink two liters of water daily, minimize fried foods and avoid junk foods, white rice, white flour, processed sugar and degraded oils."
How Do We Treat the Environment?
"The Divine is present everywhere and in all things. All Hindus feel they are guests on the planet with responsibilities to nature." Hindu prayers don't stop with people. Caring for the elements is found right in our various prayers going back all the way to the Vedas. We all can do something to help the environment. For it to be a huge impact the whole society has to move in the same direction."

Cyberbullying is no laughing matter. While most young kids who are active online tend to ignore the potential consequences of being mean to others over the internet, victims of cyberbullying don't take it so lightly. And most people, whether child or adult, is completely unaware of the fact that there are actually six different types of cyberbullying – this is how complex the problem is, and how varied the situations can be.
Cyberbullying can come in the form of harassment, denigration, outing, trickery, exclusion or all-out cyberstalking. But the children who partake in these activities just don't understand the ramifications of their online actions. Less than 40 percent of kids think about the effect their online actions will have on the reputations of others. And more than half of kids (51 percent) don't think that posting photos, videos or other information about themselves online could be harmful.
So what can you do, as a parent or as an adult or leader in a place where these children learn? First, you must be aware of how the children you teach are using technology. You need to watch for signs of cyberbullying and teach your kids how to block people from their mobile devices if they're being bullied.
For more information on cyberbullying statistics, check out the infographic below.

A California congressional candidate is being accused by one of his GOP primary rivals of misleading voters over his service record, by saying he missed votes because he was deployed in Iraq – though records show he was in California at the time.
Paul Chabot, running in California's 31st congressional district, had been accused earlier by primary foe Sean Flynn of abstaining from important votes while serving on the California Parole Board, with Flynn branding him "no show Chabot."
"While on the California State parole board, Paul Chabot refused to vote to keep violent offenders behind bars," a Flynn campaign mailer said. "But he never missed a payday."
The mailer said Chabot abstained on votes for parole for offenders accused of a range of crimes, while still getting paid for serving on the board.
Chabot responded furiously to the mailer on Facebook, saying he missed the votes because he was deployed in Iraq.
Taking aim at a post from Flynn over the Memorial Day weekend, Chabot accused Flynn of "pretending to be a patriot, just like he's pretending to be a Republican." Chabot blasted Flynn for taking pictures at a military cemetery "just days after attacking me -- a combat veteran - for votes I missed because I was deployed to Iraq."
Chabot did serve in Iraq. However, minutes from the August 2009 board meeting in question show that Chabot was in attendance, having returned from deployment months earlier in 2008. The record shows him in attendance and abstaining on the parole requests, while voting in the affirmative for other cases.
Flynn, in response, accused Chabot of trying to mislead voters.
"When you run for office, you are asking for the public's trust. You are expected to live by the highest possible standard of integrity and honesty. That's why it's all the more surprising and disappointing that someone with a record of military service like Paul Chabot would try to mislead voters about his own record," Flynn said in a statement.
He called for Chabot to offer "a reasonable explanation of why he claimed he was serving in Iraq during a period of time when official government records show that he clearly wasn't."
Chabot later clarified to The Press Enterprise, saying Tuesday that having returned to the country a year before, he wasn't knowledgeable on the cases in question at the time of the votes.
"The right and ethical thing for me to do was for me to abstain," Chabot told the outlet. "I have one of the toughest records on the California state parole board."
Chabot's campaign also hit back with a mailer of its own, accusing Flynn of failing to vote in recent presidential and mid-term elections while saying Chabot was "under months of medical care in military hospitals and delayed care in the VA" when he returned from Iraq.
A statement from senior strategist John Thomas said, "Afterwards Chabot was re-appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger as Commissioner to the California State Parole Board and Chabot rightfully abstained from voting on cases which he had no knowledge of because of his absence recovering in military hospitals."
He went on to call Flynn's ads "absolutely shocking and repulsive."
The candidate, while serving in Iraq, was an intelligence officer with Joint Special Operations Forces. He has served in numerous roles in the U.S. military, starting his career at the Office of Naval Intelligence. Currently, he is a lieutenant commander with Command Pacific Fleet Intelligence Reserve Unit – 0194, according to his campaign bio.

Our mission is to organize and provide an opportunity for Alabama alumni, family, and friends to find one another, gather together, share our experiences, and pool our resources. We hope to accomplish this though various meetings, sports viewing parties, and other social events. Our chapter also charges itself with welcoming out of town visitors and parents of Alabama students into our slice of Chicago-style southern hospitality.
We currently have over 300 due-paying members and a contact list numbering over 500 Chicago-area residents. Our members have proven through the years that they are excited to participate in game watch parties, intramural sporting, social events with other SEC Chicago Alumni and networking events in the Chicago area.
Our leadership positions are dedicated volunteers striving to ensure the growth and development of the Chicago-area chapter. We welcome all suggestions towards improving our chapter, and we encourage all of our members contribute what gifts they can share towards improving our fellowship.
We aim to ease the financial burden to all of the alumni, friends, and family who participate in our events by requesting minimal annual dues of $25 for an individual, $40 for a couple and $60 for a family. These funds are used to arrange guest speakers, game watch parties, various aspects of our administration and organization, and other events (traveling to near-by games, social dinners, etc…). These funds also help support the Roll Tide Chicago Scholarship fund that helps a fund a portion of a Chicagoland area freshman tuition for their first year at the University of Alabama. Our fiscal year begins April 1 (please contact us to discuss prorated membership fees).
Dues also include a unique Roll Tide Chicago t-shirt. Please make sure to renew every year to ensure you receive a new t-shirt – each year they design and color is different.

The Facebook Vault is a product created by Mike Buontempo that shows users how to make an income by using only Facebook.
What does the product offer?
The Facebook Vault is presented as being the next big thing in terms of online marketing. Creator Mike Buontempo will show you through a series of training modules the exact methods that he employs to make a living through marketing on Facebook. This is video based and over 10 modules presents you the methods in a step-by-step fashion. There are also additional bonuses in the form of live training and a Facebook group where additional support is available.
How does the product work?
Essentially The Facebook Vault is all about affiliate marketing. Mike Buontempo draws on his allegedly considerable experience for The Facebook Vault and in it he basically shows you how to use Facebook as a platform for marketing products on an affiliate basis.
What is the initial investment?
Mike Buontempo is selling The Facebook Vault for a one time fee of just $7. This also comes with a 60 day money back guarantee however it is worth keeping in mind that this is vendor backed as opposed to using Clickbank.
What is the rate of return?
If you believe the marketing video the methods taught in The Facebook Vault have made Mike Buontempo a millionaire with a continued residual income that is in the hundreds of thousands. He also claims elsewhere on his website that you can make up to $2,512.18 however these figures don't really seem realistic for most users.
For all intents and purposes The Facebook Vault is not necessarily a bad product. It sets out to teach you something and more or less achieves this and at a fair price.
The issue with The Facebook Vault is that like many Facebook marketing products it pushes this method of making money as a viable income on its own whereas realistically, it is better used alongside other methods.
If you want to get into Facebook marketing then this is a cheap way of doing so but if you are already using Facebook in a similar fashion, you are unlikely to find anything new here.
Not a great deal more to say on it. Facebook are wise to certain strategies now, so just be aware of that.

Wondering which desktop computer to buy can seem quite daunting if you don't know much about computers. Even if you do know quite a lot, they're always changing rapidly, so it's good to know what the market currently has in store for you. Continue reading so that you can find out quite a bit more about desktop computers.
Watch out for pricey add-on options for any new computer you buy. They often come with optional upgrades. Be sure that you are only buying what you will actually use. Make sure to note that lots of accessories and components can be found more cheaply online. Accessories might be marked up if you buy them straight from the computer manufacturer.
Take an audit of your uses for a desktop computer before buying one. This is important so that you can really understand how much power you really need. More power means more money. If super powerful desktop won't be of any real use to you, why shell out the additional funds?
Look at what is included for the servicing of your desktop computer. Check to see if there will be onsite service, or a technician that arrives at your location to do repairs for the duration of your warranty. Find out what you get if onsite is not offered, along with how long. Check to see if your machine can be serviced at a local service center. Also, look at the time frames for replacements, repairs, and if you receive a loaned computer in case the time frame is unacceptable.
If you want to save money when purchasing a desktop computer, consider buying a refurbished model. You can look at the websites of major computer manufacturers such as HP or Dell, where you will find great deals on computers that have been returned to the company, fixed and sold at a discount rate.
For the best deal when buying a new desktop computer, shop during and after back to school time or just before Christmas. These are the times when computer companies offer great deals on many of their best selling computers. Computer companies will also offer bundles of desktops and printers that can save you extra money.
Consider upgrading your current desktop computer. If your computer is not doing what you want it to, or not working as fast as you'd like, you might want to consider making some internal changes to your computer. If you are not well-versed in this, you might have a friend who is or be able to learn how online.
If you're planning to use your desktop computer as an entertainment device, don't ignore the speaker quality. A monitor with small speakers may give you a poor, tinny audio experience. You may be better off with buying a set of external speakers rather than relying on the speakers in your monitor.
If you are buying used, make sure to check the computer first. Plug it in, turn it on and see if you can go online. Test the speed of the computer and make sure everything is working properly. Unless you have the patience and time to send the computer back and wait for a refund, do not buy used online.
When looking for a computer system, keep an eye out for what kind of graphics chipset it has. Cheaper systems tend to have video cards that are called on-board, or integrated. This means it is actually part of the motherboard. You are going to get far better video quality and gaming from a dedicated video card that is attached in a slot.
Before you buy a new desktop computer, decide on a budget that is comfortable for you. There are many options for desktop computers. You can pick the ones you need to put into a desktop package that fits the amount you can afford to spend. Check to see if you can add more RAM at a later time if you can't afford it now.
If you are buying used, be sure that the computer comes with the original CDs for all installed software along with any key codes necessary for activating said software. If you don't get these things, you may be in trouble if you ever have to format the system and reinstall programs.
You should most definitely be paying attention to which processor is included in your machine. Intel for instance still makes its old processors as well as it's new Core i5 and Core i7 processors, all of which can be found in new desktops. Be sure to look for the latter two processors or their equivalents so that you have a computer that will operate successfully for you on all levels.
Figuring out what computer to get is an important decision. Desktop computers have changed so much, and you want the best options for what you're willing to pay. Use the advice that has been discussed in this article to help gear you up for that computer purchase you're about to make.

Almost a year after credit card loans hit bottom, banks have given little slack in credit lines.
The sum of revolving debt and unused credit card lines peaked at $5.7 trillion in mid-2008 before plummeting more than 30%, to $3.9 trillion, in the third quarter last year.
The figure ticked up by a third of a percentage point in the fourth quarter, but healthy holiday-season borrowing left unused lines to decline once again, to $3.1 trillion.
In all, unused lines have fallen for 12 of the past 14 quarters, according to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. See chart. (Figures for nationwide revolving debt used here are published by the Federal Reserve.)
The decline in lines and lending at Bank of America Corp., once the nation's largest issuer, is no surprise. The company has been shedding pieces of its credit card business as it attempts to sharpen its strategic focus and shore up its capital position.
At Citigroup Inc., which last year decided to reintegrate its $40 billion-loan private-label business into the core of the company, North American credit card receivables jumped a healthy 3% from the third quarter to $119 billion in the fourth quarter. Total lines dropped 1.5%, to $521 billion, however, and unused lines fell 3%, to $402 billion.
Total lines at JPMorgan Chase & Co. ticked up about a third of a percentage point, to $531 billion, but the gain was outpaced by growth in lending, and unused lines continued to drop.
Overall, the growth in borrowing while total lines have held about steady has kept loans as a percentage of available credit high by recent standards. Such credit utilization rates can simultaneously offer perspectives on consumers' financial resources, willingness to spend and need to borrow to meet expenses.
To be sure, other data has provided signals that revolving consumer credit is becoming more available. More banks have reported easing standards on credit card loans to the Fed than have reported tightening them since late 2010. A quarterly study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on consumer credit reports has shown a pronounced decline in utilization rates in recent periods.
Moreover, more than half of the reduction in credit lines during the current cycle occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 as issuers feverishly sought to cut risk, and much of the withdrawal appears to represent closings of accounts with no balances.
Still, while issuers are back in the hunt for loan growth, the industry appears to be keeping borrowers on a tight leash.

A guide to creating good web application interface designs.
After my recent disappointment in the user interface of the ExpressionEngine 2.0 Public Beta I feel it is a important for me to try and write a tutorial that will help future interface designers get started and hopefully build truly functional interfaces. So let's get started.
Table of Contents
Introduction to Interface Design
Interface Design is mainly the interaction between a user and the application. What a user can do and how they go about doing it. As interface designers we must predict what the user wants to see, and what makes the most sense. You do not want to make the user guess. By using a set of common-sense rules and design methods you can easily create a comfortable interface that allows your users accomplish whatever it is you are offering to them. One of the oldest interface design elements is the menu bar at the top of almost all software that you use on the desktop. If you think about it you will see that most websites have a navigation panel at the top of their website, personally I believe that the idea has come from the traditional interface elements that web design inherits from software applications. When we are making an online application we definitely want to look back and realize what elements we have used that seemed obvious to us. Another example of this is newspapers, have you noticed how similar newspaper websites are to actual newspapers… they are very similar because the publisher doesn't want to confuse you with a whole different layout.
Gathering Ideas
I have recently been creating the interface of freedcamp. So I might use it as an example to these steps. Gathering Ideas is the very first thing you have to do, personally I do this by thinking about the interface at hand right before i go to sleep, that way i fall asleep with the ideas i need to think about and wake up with some unique breakthroughs. I can understand not everyone can do this, but personally i believe you will need at least a few days to let the initial ideas marinate and clear themselves out. Without using an exact example the overall idea is that if you wanted to add a print button at the top left of the website, after a while you should realize that having something so non-important at the most important place is rather an unforgivable interface mistake. If you ponder on the ideas you have, which are things like where should the menu be, how should the information be presented, will things be draggable… then you can figure it out for yourself. In further stages it may come that your initial ideas are not actually functional, that doesn't matter, you need to gather as many ideas as you can. Filtering those ideas, and maybe even collaborating with others later will make the good ones stick. When gathering ideas you need to start thinking about priority, all the elements in your interface have a priority. This means that all elements will be addressed differently depending on their priority. A button that is the most important thing you can do on the page should for one be BIG and also it should be colored in a way that stands out from the rest of the page. Lists that are important, or other types of objects should have a higher position on the web page.
Mocking the Ideas
A while ago I invested a few dollars to buy some well structured sketch sheets, well i didn't actually use them, but i did realize something important. Being able to take your ideas, sketch them on paper and then look over them is very important for the initial interface crafting process. For one being able to see an idea in real life not just in your head can easily help you quickly remove or add more emphasis on the ideas you have gathered. I find myself getting ideas for the final draft from my first sketches. Sketches also help you collaborate your ideas with others, a picture is a thousand words. The freedcamp team seems to keep finding itself drawing on the white board… this helps us put ideas into reality. Also when you put it down on paper you can add comments and notes… you cannot really do that in your brain, unless you have an IQ higher than Einstein's.
First Draft Creation
Creating a first draft means taking all your ideas, and all your mock-ups and making them into a united interface. This may mean a Photoshop document, or an html page, either way it means trying to gather what has been floating around and put it down in a united place. Creating a first draft ensures the ability of a better review of the overall flow. I could talk about flow in a few paragraphs but i don't want to, flow means that things make sense to the user. An interface that has flow is a very usable and clear interface. Something that has flow makes the user want to use your interface. The other big benefit i see in first draft is the ability to let the overall draft settle in your mind. Freedcamps initial draft led to a much more functional and clean interface. Even though the initial draft was good, thanks to it i was able to figure out things that i can easily put away, hide for later use, and so forth.
This can be done in a variety of ways. Of course the best thing would be to get a group of a thousand people make them sit down in front of you and watch their every move, maybe even know where their eyes are at every second. Even though we can't do that, we can let the people working with you, if any, to get look at what's been created and comment on it. Maybe let some friends look at it, ask them to give you anything that comes to their minds. I have found that even though our friends are not always interface designers, or designers at all, all people can be used to give feedback that can potentially be quite useful. Of course there are services like clixpy.com which will actually really track everything a user does, every mouse move as well. So without going further into testing because it's a simple concept, please try to get as many opinions as you can before you come up with a final draft. There are websites like conceptfeedback that will help you with that.
Finishing Touches / Perfecting
Okay so if you have gotten this far now comes the fun part. You have your final draft, you have received valuable feedback on your interface design now you have to really get to the tiny details. Start looking at your overall interface, are all the buttons coming off the page, are links easily visible to the user, are the main elements of the interface highlighted. There are always little details that need to be taken care of, it could be a simple gray color that doesn't stand out inside of a dark gray button, and so forth.

Bright-eyed college graduate, Princeton, is played by Paul Spicer. Spicer is co-founder and director of the West End's 'Notes from New York' series, which has seen him headline shows at the Arts and Trafalgar Studios and the Donmar Warehouse. Winning an Andrew Lloyd Scholarship at Arts Ed, London, Spicer often teaches there when he is not acting in musical theatre.
Delroy Atkinson performs as Avenue Q's handyman Gary, an ex-child TV star who cannot come to terms with the fact he is not famous anymore. Atkinson has previously performed in the West End including roles in Jerry Springer – The Opera, Rent and The Bomb-itty of Errors. He has also acted in television having been in The Bill and My Family.
Cassidy Janson shows off her acting diversity by playing both Kate Monster, Avenue Q's shy, romantic kindergarten teaching assistant, and polar-opposite Lucy the Slut, a hell raiser whose purpose in life is to shack up with every man in sight! Janson has previously played wicked witch Elphaba in West End smash, Wicked.
Wannabe comedian, Brian, is played by Siôn Lloyd. Lloyd has previously performed in the original West End production of The Full Monty, and his television roles include playing Liam in Casualty and DC Moffat in Outside the Rules.
Feisty therapist and girlfriend to Brian, Christmas Eve is played by Jacqueline Tate. Tate trained at the Royal Northern College of Music and the London School of Musical Theatre, and subsequently went on to perform as Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera. She is also a founding member of the UK Production of Opera Burlesque.
Tom Parsons plays both Trekkie Monster who is obsessed with internet porn, and Nicky, the happy-go-lucky, pestering puppet. Parsons has previously performed in the West End as Eddie in Mamma Mia, as well as understudying Sky in the same musical.

There are a boy and his dragon who deserve to have a safe landing among the Oscar nominees for Best Picture. Sure, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" will be nominated for Best Animated Feature, but it's worthy of much higher academy consideration, too. Here are my five reasons why:
1. Three in 87 years? Come on!
Twenty-two years ago "Beauty and the Beast" made history by being the first animated feature to score a Best Picture Oscar nomination. Eighteen years later — and only after the Academy decided to up its Best Picture nominations from five to as many as 10 — "Up" pulled off the same feat along with "Toy Story 3" the following year (2011). Those are just three animated films in the Oscar's 87-year history that have managed to squeak into the ultimate awards category. If Oscar is paying attention, this year we should see another added to that exclusive list: "How to Train Your Dragon 2."

2. Animated Feature Oscar just isn't enough.
Yes, it's great that animated films get their due at the Oscars with their own category, but let's face it. It just isn't the same. "Toy Story 3" may have won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2011, but it didn't reign as Best Picture. That title belonged to "The King Speech." Animated films need one of their own to take the big prize home so that opens the door for all others. "Beauty and the Beast" arguably came the closest with its historic nomination and it may well be another story about a beast and the one he loves that'll make history in the big race.
3. Oscar needs heart, and "Dragon" has it.
"Gone Girl," "Boyhood," "Birdman," "Selma," "The Theory of Everything" — all are top contenders for the Best Picture Oscar according to our Gold Derby racetrack odds, but which one of these would you sit the entire family down to enjoy? Which of these is one you'd watch to lift you up on a day you're not feeling so hot? Which of these could make you laugh, cry and teach you about love and life all in just 102 minutes? Which of these has the most heart? The only one to claim all of these is "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and that's a message the Oscars desperately need after taking nearly 30 years to award something lighthearted like "The Artist" in 2012.

4. Oscar needs popular, and that "Dragon" is.
At the beginning of nearly every Oscar telecast we always hear the host boast about how the Oscars are being watched by about a billion people worldwide. So, to keep those worldwide billion interested, you surely want to include films they've all actually watched. While there have been two more high-profile animated films out this year — "The Lego Movie" back in February and the three-week-old "Big Hero 6" — sandwiched right in between those two was this year's most successful animated feature. So far, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" has amassed $619 million. Though "Big Hero 6" has just started its stretch, that would be quite a feat for it to reach. "Lego" nearly has $470 million worldwide and that is eye-popping. I'm going to make an educated estimate and say "How to Train Your Dragon 2" doesn't get challenged.
5. Drama is easy, Comedy's hard. But animation is even harder.
You think "Boyhood" is quite a feat having taken 12 years to film, but that's only because the film is paced out over 12 years using the exact same cast. Great stunt, but not worthy of being overly praised. You want a crazy timetable? How about what writer/director Dean DeBlois told Gold Derby in an exclusive interview about creating his feature: "In live-action, you do all the pre-production, all of the art department stuff. You cast the movie and go out and shoot it and then you edit it. In our process we edit up front. We edit the storyboards before anything's been animated. We take all of our storyboards, we cut them together with temporary dialog, temporary sound effects, temporary music, and we watch it as a film. However, it's drawn out over the course of three years. So, instead of shooting a movie in three months and everything's a manic pace, we have three years." Listen to the rest of the process, as well as his thoughts on the Oscars and why he thought the original "Dragon" didn't take home the gold in 2011 in our exclusive podcast interview below.

This is one of my favorite times of the year when the leaves of all types of deciduous trees and bushes start turning from green to various shades of yellow, orange and red. Landscapes complete change. The weather also starts to change. Not only do the temperatures drop but there are more days with unique weather that add to this special time of year with rain, fog or even snow. Here is a selection of beautiful fall photos
Tumwater Canyon just outside of Leavenworth Washington
1. The Leavenworth area in Washington State has many different spots for beautiful fall color. Tumwater Canyon all the way up Steven's Pass has all sorts of potential for good color. Icicle creek is another place and if that wasn't enough, the waterfront park in downtown Leavenworth offers even more with trails all along the river. Not done yet? The local orchards and fruit stands are a great place to get a local taste of fall with creative autumn displays, and maybe even pick up a yummy treat. There is so much to offer to those who just love this season. Oh, I didn't even mention Oktoberfest in Leavenworth. Usually celebrated on the first 3 weekends of October.
Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge.
2. When I think of fall, the Columbia Gorge is first to pop in my head. The Historic Columbia River Scenic Highway is a must! In Late October is the best time to go. The drive itself is amazing. Then there are all the waterfalls surrounded by all types of trees and plants in different shades of orange and gold. Some of the falls are just off the road while others involve taking a nice fall hike. Other attractions in the area are a fish hatchery, Cascade Locks and Hood River. There also various other State Parks and National Forest trails that offer fall colors and might not have as much traffic as some of the others.
Middlefork of the Flathead River
3. A place that many don't always think of when it comes to fall color but is amazing is Glacier National Park. My favorite areas are on the East side but there is color to be found everywhere. The bonus here is all the wildlife you will encounter too. The elk and moose are in rut. The bears are packing on the calories with all the berries. Best time to visit is mid to late September when most of the crowds are gone. If will feel like you have the park all to yourself.
The Buckner Orchard located in Stehekin Washington
4. North Cascades National Park has its share of great fall color as well. One of the best places to see this is a little out of the way but well worth it. The small town of Stehekin is located at the northwest end of Lake Chelan and is only accessible by boat, plane or hiking. The Historic Buckner Homestead including an orchard is a great place to start. Rainbow Falls is another must see. The Stehekin Valley road offers many sights of big leaf maples in all their glory and many creeks and streams surrounded by all kinds of autumn color.
South Falls Historic District in Silver Falls State Park
5. Located in the Northwest area of Oregon, Silver Falls State Park is one of the most popular parks in the state. Everyone loves waterfalls and nothing goes better with fall color than waterfalls. This place is like the chocolate and peanut butter of Autumn. The waterfalls are not the only place to find color. Along the pathways, creeks, roads and the South Falls Historic District. Coupled with the changing leaves, the weather can also add some interesting elements too with fog or an overcast rainy day. If you have never been, this is a must for your Pacific Northwest autumn bucket list!

View619 wrote:I agree with DM_PSX, filling slots with duplicate moves should be avoided as this only affects human players when that edit is selected for matches. Setting logic to use certain moves at 0 percent will effectively limit an edit's move set for simulation purposes, while still allowing basic moves to fill out the remaining slots.
Unless you're taking advantage of the properties for different move categories (small, medium, big), this is unnecessary.
They are bad to play as.
They are shitty to play against.
They are worse to watch.
The personal edit I was referring to as an example just spams the stab attack over and over and always does the scythe attack on the ground. What brawling? Use downed attacks and other actual strike moves to soften the guy up and pull out the fork later on during a good time. Also, use the "I got a weapon" taunt to link into the scythe attack to show it up a bit when you do use it. Otherwise, do some rough moves to the head like the elbow grind or the kick to the face etc...
No one wants to see a cyclone whip 50 times in a match. Put the cyclone whip in strong and add in a backswitch and/or strikes. Even use similar moves just to mix it up a bit.
I'll even add that the previous advice of using all the same percentages in move categories is very bad and makes it look like the wrestler has no game plan and doesn't know what they are doing.
When it comes to standing grapples, the button without a direction is often a strike, and the side button is also usually a strike or another plausibly repeatable move. Those should be the highest percentages by far. The others tend to be the bigger spots that happen less often and will have priority link ups.
Your ground moves should also include lots of repeatable limb/general purpose attacks, and the much less used big move(s). Use those
Same with the corner. Have a repeatable move (usually side), and up and down are your big moves to be used at the appropriate time. No one does the repeatable move near the end of the match. That is when you do your big top rope move for sure.
Random spots never looks anywhere near as good as a well thought out gameplan to win a match with a proper move progression.
When you learn proper heel vs face dynamics (shine, heat, comeback), make good use of the moveset, and really think out the logic behind where and when to hit moves, Fire Pro goes from being a good to an amazing game.
