I don't remember exactly how old I was when I was first introduced to Georgette Heyer (probably 13, or some such impressionable age) but I do remember that The Talisman Ring was her first book that I read – and I was instantly hooked.
Let me preface by encouraging the uninitiated not to club Ms Heyer with the Mills and Boons of the world. These books, while regency romances, have far more depth than I could ever imagine a pink and white pulp romance to have. Yes, there is always a main female protagonist and happy endings generally ensue, but this is intellectual romance, not erotica.
So, disclaimers done, on to the book. Sir Tristam Shield (predictably tall, authorative, aristocratic) is called to the deathbed of his great uncle, Baron Lavenham, and is instructed to marry his French born cousin, whimsical, beautiful, Eustacie. The Baron's heir, Ludovic, has been banished from the country after killing a man over his talisman ring. Baron Lavenham dies before his instructions can be carried out and almost immediately after, horrified by the stolid and 'unimaginative' nature of her fiance, Eustacie decides to go in search of adventure by running away.
Naturally, she finds it almost immediately – Eustacie falls into the hands of smugglers, one of whom is revealed to be the romantic Ludovic Lavenham. What ensues is a story of smugglers, Bow Street Runners, murder, sinister valets and even secret passages – all written with the lightest of tones. And yes, of course, there are the obligatory romances.
Georgette Heyer's regency romances are not perfect of course. They require a willing suspension of political correctness, class and (sometimes, though very rarely) gender equality. They make up for this though, with sharp characterisation, a humorous tone, and great insights into aristocratic life in Regency England. Over all, they tend to be great fun, and The Talisman Ring especially, has some laugh-out-loud sections that even now, I'm loath to read in public places for fear of guffawing and being looked at strangely.
So yes, it is a romance novel, but it's also so much more – a mystery, a thriller, and even a historical commentary. A great read!

The Raspberry Pi, the credit card-sized computer designed to get people inspired about programming, is now being produced in the UK after a deal was agreed with Sony.
The stripped-back computer was previously just manufactured in Shenzen, China, due to cost issues, but David Braben - founding trustee of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and head of games studio Frontier Developments - said in July that the goal was to shift production to the UK.
That has now been achieved after Premier Farnell, which distributes the Pi, signed a deal with Sony for 300,000 Raspberry Pis to be produced at a factory in Wales, creating 30 jobs.
UK production of the Raspberry Pi started in mid-August at Sony UK Technology's factory in Pencoed, South Wales. The move means that almost all the Pis distributed by Premier Farnell will be made in Britain.
Since its launch earlier in the year, the computer has proved a massive hit and smashed initial sales projections, with some estimating that the device will shift more than a million units before the end of the year.
In a blogpost yesterday, Raspberry Pi community director Liz Upton said that the computer was initially made in China as production in Britain was just not cost effective in the early days of the project.
"The Raspberry Pi is a British enterprise, and as well as improving things in the computing industry's future here by educating kids, we wanted to improve things in the present too, by actually doing our manufacture here in the UK," she said.
"Last year, when nobody had heard of the Raspberry Pi, we had been unable to find a British manufacturer whose prices per unit (especially at a point where we were thinking of sales in the tens of thousands, not the hundreds of thousands you're seeing now) would work for us, and who believed that the project would be enough of a success for them to risk line space for us.
"There was just no way to make the Raspberry Pi in the UK and keep the price at $25 for the Model A (which will be released before the end of the year at the promised price) and $35 for the Model B. Happily, things change."
Upton said that talks with Sony started six months ago and she praised the electronics giant for its "incredibly impressive" factory in Wales.
"[The factory] is the quietest, pleasantest plant I've ever been in, all comfortable lighting, ergonomic workspaces, cool air and relaxed staff," she said.
"Sony's quality control system is legendary, their ability to manufacture fast and cleanly is superb, and they've already invested in adding PoP (Package on Package - the fiddly stuff where the Broadcom chip at the heart of the Raspberry Pi is stacked beneath the RAM chip) hardware manufacture ability and expansion capability just for us.
"They're also able to take on the huge task (currently undertaken by RS and Farnell) of ensuring the parts used are sourced ethically and to the highest ecological standards - every component has to pass standard compliance via Sony's Green Management programme."
The first UK-made Raspberry Pis are being delivered to customers this week, stamped with "Made in the UK" next to the power jack.

Hey, you. I just wanted to say thank you so so so much for reading and sharing my MS story, "True Life: My Optic Nerve Ran Away." You made me feel like an award winning pop star who won a prestigious award and I will forever love you because of this.
I received so many positive emails/texts from people. Close friends, acquaintances and FB friends alike. Folks with whom I haven't spoken to since high school emailed me to offer their medical connections and any assistance they can provide. I always say that I like animals more than people but no animal has ever offered me their expert MS connection so I'm thinking I should rethink my opinions on humans. Ya'll came through, yo and the love was overwhelming and caused a flutter in my heart.
But then I got a hold of myself because there is more work to be done and more stories to share. Like the time a votive candle flame took a liking to my hair, the time I
happily smoked my way into a relapse and the time a douchebag emergency room doctor denied me treatment because he thought I was "one of those" women. I'm going to destroy his Google results and it's going to be fun. For me at least.
So thanks again and please come back. Subscribing to updates via email will help you stay current and cool so please do click here to stay current and cool.
Peace out till next time!

Unsurprisingly, the media has more often than not been pretty awful in their reporting. (See, for a quick example, MSNBC's story on Tyler Perry's revelations of childhood physical, sexual, and emotional abuse in which they describe his abuse as being "seduced" by a friend's mother at age 10. Yes. "Seduced." MSNBC: You cannot seduce a 10-year-old.)
There's a lot I could write about, from Mackenzie Phillips' memoir that reveals the drug- and alcohol-fueled sexual abuse by her father to Tyler Perry's recent revelations of childhood abuse to the debacle with Roman Polanski finally being (re-)arrested for the rape he committed 30-some-odd years ago.
But I won't, for now.
I don't have the emotional and mental space to hold all of that today. It's been a tough week.
Instead, I implore you to read Liss' post over at Shakesville. Read it. This is not one that you should pass over. This is one that every person who interacts with any other human being needs to read.
Rape Culture 101.
A long-ish teaser:
Rape culture is 1 in 33 men being sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. Rape culture is encouraging men to use the language of rape to establish dominance over one another ("I'll make you my bitch"). Rape culture is making rape a ubiquitous part of male-exclusive bonding. Rape culture is ignoring the cavernous need for men's prison reform in part because the threat of being raped in prison is considered an acceptable deterrent to committing crime, and the threat only works if actual men are actually being raped.
Rape culture is 1 in 6 women being sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. Rape culture is not even talking about the reality that many women are sexually assaulted multiple times in their lives. Rape culture is the way in which the constant threat of sexual assault affects women's daily movements. Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you're alone, if you're with a stranger, if you're in a group, if you're in a group of strangers, if it's dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you're carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you're wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who's around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who's at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn't follow all the rules it's your fault.

|Liberia's presidential ballot paper
Vote counting continued across Liberia Wednesday following presidential elections that are likely to go to a runoff with 20 candidates contesting, local media and observers say.
Ex-soccer star George Weah and Vice President Joseph Boakai are leading, according to unofficial results reported by the state-run Liberia Broadcasting System.
"There is a likelihood that there will be a runoff election," the network reported based on figures seen by its correspondents across the country.
More than 2.1 million voters had registered to vote at nearly 5,400 polling stations throughout Liberia, which was established by the United States in the 19th century for freed black slaves.
Voters chose among 20 presidential contenders and nearly 1,000 candidates from 26 political parties vying for 73 seats in the House of Representatives. A presidential candidate must win more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a second round.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first female president, will step aside after two six-year terms in office. She led the country's recovery from a 14-year civil war and guided this West African country through the Ebola crisis that killed nearly 5,000 people.
Voters commended her leadership but also said they are ready for change when they lined up for Tuesday's historic vote.
"As a longstanding friend, the United States applauds the people of Liberia for exercising their democratic right to vote in the historic presidential and legislative elections," said a statement from U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert. "This is an important step toward achieving Liberia's first peaceful transfer of power from one democratically-elected head of state to another in decades."
International observers say Tuesday's vote went smoothly despite late starts in some counties. Final results should be known within two weeks. If there is a runoff election it will come two weeks after that announcement.
The turnout was impressive, especially among the younger generations, said Christopher Fomunyoh, of the U.S. funded National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, which is monitoring the elections.
He said Liberia's youth demonstrated "a commitment to be involved in the electoral and governmental process of their country. All of these people are saying they want change and improvement, and that explains why almost all of the candidates are presenting themselves as candidates for change."
Fomunyoh, who also observed Liberia's 2005 elections, said Sirleaf helped create an environment for an open race with such a high number of candidates.

Preconception Body
Preconception [ before pregnancy ] body preparation for the couple :
But what exactly is……
" Garbhakranti preconception preparation of body " ?
- The child will pay the price of the parent`s ignorance , weaknesses & greed [for unhealthy things] and in general , the mistakes they make.
- Toxins / Dosha accumulate in the body due to wrong lifestyle & diet.
- This affects the formation of ovum and sperms badly.
As per Ayurveda , following things lead to formation of toxins in body…….
- irregular eating hours.
- mental & physical stress.
- late nights working hours.
- fast food / junk food.
- oily food.
- spicy food.
- salty food.
- aerated drinks.
- cold drinks.
- excess fermented food.
- excess sour food.
- food containing excess preservatives.
- smoking.
- alcohol.
- To remove these accumulated Dosha/toxins from the body, I will follow the Garbhakranti preconception preparation.
- My husband will also follow the same, so that we will ensure our dream baby:
" Garbhakranti preconception preparation of body " consists
- Poorvakarma like……
- Snehan – oleation with medicated oils
- Swedan – fomentation with medicated steam
- Panchakarma like……
- Vaman
- Virechan
- Basti
- Garbhakranti preconception diet
- Process of Snehan , Swedan , Vaman , Virechan , Basti should be done by a qualified doctor with knowledge in the field and should not be done at home.
- Poorvakarma [ Snehan & Swedan ] and Panchakarma [ Vaman , Virechan , Basti ] should be done starting 3 months before the couple plans to have a child .
- Poorvakarma [ Snehan & Swedan ] and Panchakarma [ Vaman , Virechan , Basti ] should not be done on pregnant woman.
What is Poorvakarma & why is it necessary ?
- If you try to bend a dry stick, it will probably break but not bend.
- On the contrary if we massage the same with oil, it can bend easily.
- The same principle applies while doing Panchakarma on the body.
- It means that the flared up Dosha / toxins in the body are brought into stomach / large intestine / nose or sinuses with Poorvakarma.
- They are thrown away from the body with Panchakarma.
How do the Dosha come from all the body parts to the GIT [ gastrointestinal tract / stomach ] /nose in Snehan and Swedan ?
- Our body consists of many blood vessels.
- Blood vessels are necessary for the circulation of different elements of the body which take place through blood.
- When Snehan is performed on the body, the medicinal oil penetrates through the skin pores into the different parts of the body.
- The Dosha are attached in a microscopic manner to the blood vessels walls.
- Snehan ensures detachment of these Dosha from the vessels into the blood.
- Swedan helps in mobilisation of Dosha / toxins from various parts of the body to get into the Ashaya like stomach / large intestine / nose etc.
- Swedan leads to dilatation of skin pores and aids in the dilatation of blood vessels and the removal of Dosha.
- The Dosha enter the GIT / nose or the sinuses from the blood and are removed by Panchakarma.
How do Snehan & Swedan actually act on the body ?
- Snehan means oleation of body externally with medicated oils / ghee.
- It helps in detachment of Dosha / toxins from various parts of the body.
- Swedan means fomentation of body with medicated steam.
- In this process, a decoction of medicinal herbs is prepared and the body is fomented with steam of the same.
- Swedan helps in mobilisation of Dosha / toxins from various parts of the body into various Ashaya like stomach, large Intestine, nose, sinuses, and blood vessels.
- From Ashaya , Dosha/ toxins go out of the body with help of Panchakarma like…..
- Vaman
- Virechan
- Basti
- The heat of the steam also dilates the skin pores and the person sweats. This removes heaviness, malaise, laziness from the body.
- Literature has given an excellent example of how Dosha are detached from the vessel.
- If we apply oil to a vessel from inside & then pour water inside, then while pouring the water out, the whole of the water is removed.
- Similarly in Snehan, the Dosha are removed from the body and transferred to the GIT/ nose / sinuses / blood vessels.
What is the exact difference between the massage & steam / sauna bath which is given in the fitness centre and the Ayurvedic Snehan / Swedan ?
- In the ordinary massage given in the fitness centre, ordinary oils are used.
- But in Ayurvedic Snehan , medicinal oils / Ghee are being used.
- Similarly the purpose in steam / sauna bath is to generate only steam which leads to sweating.
- In Ayurvedic Swedan various medicinal decoctions are used hence the steam is medicinal steam.
- Thus in Ayurvedic Snehan & Swedan for the prevention of health of a person, medicinal massage or steam are being used & hence it is more beneficial.
What is Vaman ?
- The process of collecting the Dosha from the upper parts of the body into the stomach & then removing it from the body by giving medicines to vomit it out is called as Vaman.
- The medicines of Vaman have effect on the whole body.
- Vaman is particularly beneficial in people with predominance of Kapha Dosha.
- Process of Vaman should be done by a qualified doctor with knowledge in the field and should not be done at home.
What is Virechan ?
- The process of removal of Dosha of the body from the anal route is called as Virechan.
- It is beneficial in people with predominance of Pitta Dosha.
- Process of Virechan should be done by a qualified doctor with knowledge in the field and should not be done at home.
What is Basti ?
- It means actually Pitta & Kapha Dosha is dependent on Vata Dosha ; hence with vitiation of Vata Dosha ; Pitta , Kapha & Rakta Dosha get affected.
- To get rid of this situation, Basti is very useful.
- Basti is very useful in people with predominance of Vata mainly.
- In Basti, medicated oils and medicated decoctions are administered through the anal route to remove toxins.
- Process of Basti should be done by a qualified doctor with knowledge in the field and should not be done at home.
Visualise my dream baby !
- Thus after Poorvakarma & Panchakarma my body is ready for pregnancy, now I should start Garbhakranti preconception diet for me and for my husband.
- This diet will nourish me and my husband for my dream baby.
- Simultaneously, we must visualise our dream baby.
- As per Ayurveda, to realise our dream baby, the first step is that we must think, visualise accordingly.
- There are 3 situations when mother`s thoughts , behaviour , lifestyle have maximum impact on the baby,………
- when the ovum is being formed.
- when the baby is in the womb of the mother.
- when the mother is breastfeeding the baby.
- My dream baby is possible if I create in my mind the visual of my dream baby.
- It is said that out of all our sense organs the impact of the visual on the mind is the highest.
- Hence I myself and my husband together will create the image of our dream baby. Draw the image, colour it.
- Keep this image in front of our eyes all throughout the pregnancy.
- We will sense and touch our dream baby & talk with our dream baby.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - While the unexpected icy weather to hit southeast Louisiana put a damper in the Mardi Gras plans of some people, the conditions have made life a lot more difficult for dozens of truckers.
As the winter weather rolled through Baton Rouge Tuesday, officers with the Baton Rouge Police Department and crews with the Department of Public Works moved quickly to sand roadways or close them if needed.
They tried to keep drivers safe on a cold and wet day. Those roadways, which iced over in some areas, caused major problems for tractor trailer drivers passing through the area headed to other parts of the country.
"I'm going back to Cali, but the winter storm stopped me right now," said Vin Wyn. "And, I almost ran out of fuel. I can't get to the Love for a couple of miles."
"It caught me off guard," added Terry Patterson. "I stopped last night and I could have gone an hour further and did not. And, I would have been on the other side of all this if I would have gone on."
Many big rig drivers spent the afternoon in a parking lot on College Drive because it was one of the only places big enough to park their 18-wheelers. They were forced to just watch the weather and stay in contact with their companies.
"I sent them a message that Baton Rouge was shut down because of the ice and wrecks and stuff. And they said, 'Yeah, that's what they were hearing. Just to be safe,'" Patterson explained.
"It's going to make me all late for everything and I'm right now concerned about my fuel. I'm running out because I was going to go to the Love. Yeah, but I can't make it now," Wyn added.
Drivers said they are forced to sit and wait for the weather to pass.

text: Alright, this was the method I was using before I got my current job, that began to take more and more time, and more of my energy... lol And.. I simply stopped, not having the energy to keep up. Wasn't going to share this one, as I intended to get back into it, but... Haven't. Besides, people here share methods worth TONS more everyday! Feels good to finally give back to this awesome community. Just as a note before-hand, the method worked very well back then, though a couple things have changed. This was very simple for me, and I am SURE the same exact idea can still be used today, just changed up to fit your usage. Surveyclub was the affiliate program I used. They used to offer I think $1.25 per sign up that you brought them. They are now with ROIRocket, so I cannot recommend them, not familiar. However, there are other legit survey affiliate programs that pay well too. Google search brings up loads of results! What I would do to promote said program, was pretty targeted. I would search for work at home mom forums, msn and yahoo groups, tribe.net(DON'T spam them now, I heard they report you to your affiliate program), and basically any place where people would look for jobs at home. So the forums are great for this. In the title would be something like " Sign Up for Free - Get Paid for Online Surveys". The actual message a pasted piece from their front page of everything they offer, and my affiliate link, if allowed. If NOT allowed to put links, have them contact you, simply put together a gmail with auto responder, in which case you can send them back an e-mail with your link to the program. Or, if feeling really greedy, sign up for several survey affiliate programs, and have the e-mail send your small list. Most people from craigslist, and tribe.net and anywhere else, would sign up for all of your survey companies. Believe me, I have found it SO much easier to get people to sign up for a FREE program, than trying to sell them ANYTHING. People do not have the money to spare, in this economy, so this might even be much better in these conditions. More desperate people, etc. Hope this helps.

|I struggled for a long time with the SVG RFC at the world-wide-web consortium, but RFCs are not really for humans, so I had to shell out for a book.
|Designing SVG Web Graphics looks pretty good, although I haven't read much of it yet. It's expensive for its size, though, and the chapter on filters (a subject I was having particular trouble with) looks a bit brief considering the complexities of the subject.
|SVG Essentials (O'Reilly XML) is a fairly new book from O'Reilly. Haven't had a chance to look at it.
Not many books on Logo.
|Turtle Geometry uses Logo to explore various mathematics ideas. From MIT who I think, created Logo. OK if you're into maths.
|From a user's point of view, Mac OS X The Missing Manual is just what you need to get around OSX. Beautifully designed and illustrated. OSX is so big that you won't find everything that you want in here, and expert users may find some of it elementary. Still, a must-buy for me.
|For a look at the Unix side of OSX, Unix for Mac OS X is a nicely laid-out, useful guide.
From a developer's point of view, it depends where you're starting from. OSX is now really good for starting to learn programming from scratch because of its command line. You can learn the basics of programming without the distractions of the GUI, and what you learn is machine-independent.
The best language when starting to learn serious programming is Pascal. The next best thing is C.
|The C Programming Language is the standard text for C. Might be a bit frightening for the complete beginner.
|After C, the next step is C++. The standard text is The C++ Programming Language. As C++ has bloated over the last five or six years with what seem to me unnecessary additions, this book has become almost too complcated to read.
|Making sense out of all this is The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference. This takes all the template and library stuff and makes it usable. I recommend this very highly. You do need to know the basics of C++ before you read it, though.
Learning C and C++ gives you the ability to program on almost any computer, anywhere. The next steps are mac-specific. If you want to program on OSX, you need to learn Cocoa, and for that you will need Objective-C (you can do it in Java but most people seem to favour Objective-C).
This is the cheapest bit. You should have already installed the Developer Tools from the CD that came with OSX. Using Sherlock, search for a file called ObjC.pdf. This has everything you need to know about the Objective-C language itself.
|You get an awful lot of free documentation for Cocoa programming installed with the Developer Tools, but to really bring it all together, you need Learning Cocoa. This should be a lot thicker, should have more in it, but I've found it essential.
|You realise how much there is to Cocoa programming when you see the size of this book - 1200 pages! And it's all good stuff as well. Lots of good examples for the intermediate to advanced programmer. Subjects like cut and paste and drag and drop are in the official Apple documentation, but actually trying to make sense of it all is well-nigh impossible. This book brings things together with realistic examples. Of course, not everything's in here - what I tend to do is swap between this book and the Apple doc to come up with the answer.
|For putting together movie clips and DVDs, iMovie and iDVD (which come free with most macs) do most of what you want. If they don't provide enough functionality, though, you can fork out for this powerful set of programs: Apple Final Cut Studio 2 (Mac) .
|The Logo Foundation, part of MIT, has a lot of links to Logo resources such as freeware versions for mac and pc.
The definition for SVGs (the RFC) is at the world-wide-web consortium. This is pretty difficult to read, and pretty dull.
The SVG viewer for OSX can be found at Adobe. There are a lot of useful links there as well. However, despite Adobe's advocacy of SVG, support in their products isn't particularly good. For instance, I can't import an SVG into Photoshop or Indesign. If you feel the same, you can request these and other features be added on the feature request form.
Kevlindev.com has examples and tips for the SVG developer.
VersionTracker is a terrific site for shareware, freeware,
and commercial software.
You can find almost any Mac software there with informative reviews and ratings, download shareware and freeware stuff, and all this for free. It's so easy to use as well. You can subscribe to a weekly e-mail which will give you lists of new software.
ACSLogo is on there somewhere - drop in and add a review.
MacFixit is a good source of information about new releases and bugs and other problems. Unfortunately you now have to pay to look at old articles. You can subscribe to a daily, brief, newsletter. Also has some forums if you're having problems with OSX.
Now that the mac is unix-based, O'Reilly are showing a lot of interest. Some good news articles here, and some well-written programming and administration articles and how-tos at the Mac Devcenter. The Devcenter has a lot of info not just on Cocoa programming, but also on all the unixy stuff we get with OSX. If you sometimes get lost in the world of IT like I do - especially the internet-type stuff - you now have a great educational resource - OSX. Setting up an Apache webserver, starting a Postgresql database server - all a piece of cake with these articles. If UNIX is completely new to you, there are some good Basics articles at OnLamp.
The University of Edinburgh has help on Unix commands.
www.allwhois.com allows you to find info on domain names – including who registered them.

Tuesday, 20 July 2010 02:43 PM
The IPOs of debit card provider Green Dot Corp., Chinese software services supplier Camelot Information Systems Inc. and clean technology company Ameresco Inc., expected this week, could extend Friday's strong performance into a hot streak.
Shares of RealD Inc. and Qlik Technologies Inc. both soared more than 20 percent in their market debuts Friday after pricing above expectations. That kind of showing was rare in the second quarter as turbulent stock markets left investors wary about riskier investments. While 17 companies canceled IPOs from April through June, only 20 closed their first day of trading above their offering price.
So far, it appears that investors are clamoring for shares of at least two of this week's expected offerings. Late Monday, Green Dot increased its offering to 4.2 million shares from 3.9 million shares, suggesting the stock is in high demand. IPOBoutique, which tracks investor interest in IPOs, said there is strong demand for Camelot's shares, with more bids for stock than the number of shares being offered.
Green Dot says it is the country's leading supplier of reloadable Visa and MasterCard branded debit cards, which can be used for online shopping, bill payment, store purchases and ATM withdrawals.
Reloadable debit cards don't create credit risk, because consumers put their own cash on them, but they have the convenience of using a card. The cards became increasingly popular during the recession as banks tightened lending standards, and Green Dot expects growth to continue as technology improves and it waives fees to encourage more frequent use.
The company also managed to link up with a big and powerful partner. It recently extended an exclusive deal with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to sell its cards in the discount retail giant's stores until 2015.
New restrictions on debit card fees in recently passed legislation don't apply to its business, Green Dot says. Other card issuers predict big revenue losses — Bank of America Corp., for example says it could lose up to $2.3 billion in yearly revenue because of the new rules.
Other points that make Green Dot attractive to investors: It has no long-term debt and its net income, excluding dividend payments and preferred stock, soared more than sevenfold in the two years through July 2009, despite the recession and a severe pullback in consumer spending.
Still, all is not perfect. Green Dot warned that a recent increase in the sales commission it pays Wal-Mart for card sales — from between 5 and 8 percent to 22 percent — will weigh on net income through next year, at least. Green Dot said it hopes that extending the partnership and boosting Wal-Mart's take will galvanize the chain to sell more of its cards, so that increased volume would make up for lower margins.
The Monrovia, Calif., company could raise as much as $146 million if shares price at the top of the expected $32 to $35 range. It will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering, because only shareholders, including CEO Steven Streit and other executives, are selling stock.
Also expected to debut this week is Camelot Information Systems, a profitable provider of software support and consulting to the financial sector in the fast-growing Chinese market. The company is looking to raise about $160 million.
Camelot posted net income of $13 million in 2009, up nearly 40 percent from 2008. Its revenue rose 30 percent to $118 million.
Another profitable company hoping to come to market is Ameresco, a Framingham, Mass., company that designs and installs projects that help heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems in customers' buildings. Ameresco's tools and services help clients cut energy consumption and costs. The company also builds small renewable energy plants.
Ameresco and its shareholders expect to raise about $160 million, using proceeds to pay off debt and for working capital.
Ameresco has posted a yearly profit since 2002. It earned $19.9 million in 2009, up from $18.3 million the previous year. Revenue grew to $428.5 million from $395.9 million.
SurgiVision Inc., a Memphis, Tenn., health care device maker, also hopes to raise about $35 million this week. SurgiVision makes devices to help physicians see inside a patient's body using MRI technology.

By Larry King
Renaissance Books
256 pp., $22.95
Goldie Hawn prays regularly "to be an instrument of God's light," and Jeane Kirkpatrick for peace and an understanding of "God's purpose in the world."
Willie Nelson is in prayer mode "most of the time." He says, "Practically every song I write is a prayer in one way or another."
Quarterback Steve Young asks for "clarity of mind" and baseball's Tommy Lasorda, "for the strength to do the right thing."
Jack Kevorkian doesn't pray at all. Margaret Thatcher does, but says it's too personal to discuss. Sen. Orrin Hatch credits prayer with his healing of deafness in one ear. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says it humbles you and helps to "straighten our path."
The intimate relationship that prominent people from all walks of life have with God is the subject of "Powerful Prayers," a new book by talk-show host Larry King. Mr. King brings his famous interview skills to bear on what he calls the "the big conversation." The result - a stirring, humorous, sometimes exhilarating exploration of why and how people pray and the impact prayer has on their lives - plumbs new depths for the celebrity interview.
The book is a mosaic of conversations, none at great length. But most interviewees speak from the heart with such clarity, directness, and apparent eagerness that one is aware of sharing genuinely intimate moments and deeply held convictions.
King, a self-described agnostic, was nudged into this book by his daughter, Chaia, who came up with the idea. He turned to a friend, Rabbi Irwin Katsof, executive vice president of the Jerusalem Fund, to be his spiritual guide through the process. It wasn't always an easy fit, and the interaction between the skeptic and the teacher - which threads among the interviews - adds humor and poignancy. It may also broaden the book's appeal to those who sit in King's camp.
Rabbi Katsof supplies telling parables and insights, while King seems stuck at the point that until he has proof God exists, he doesn't see a reason to pray.
The year and a half spent on this book didn't make him "a believer," King says in an interview, but it has affected him. "I've certainly seen the power of it for people. I appreciate that very intelligent people believe in it.... I haven't made that leap that says, 'Someone is watching over me,' but I am much more open to it than I was." In fact, "I envy believers," he adds.
Those he interviewed from the fields of politics, the arts, sports, business, medicine, religion, and the media offered countless reasons for a commitment to prayer. From healings of cancer to strength to endure a communist prisoner-of-war camp (Sen. John McCain), to having a child, to gaining courage in prison, to winning freedom from drugs and despair, the instances given are vivid and compelling.
King says his greater openness to prayer is "due a lot to the medical things, especially where people had tremendous recoveries, and the studies of how people who pray do better."
In the book, he explores the shift in medical attitudes toward prayer, and talks with Virginia Harris of the Christian Science Board of Directors about how Christian Science heals. Mrs. Harris discusses her healing following a car accident, and the experience of a medical nurse who no longer needed surgery after reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy.
This is the most intriguing aspect of this book - hearing in their own words how business people, artists, media magnates, soldiers, and others approach prayer. David Crosby, guitarist for The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, for example, tells how he prayed in prison and afterward to escape alcohol and cocaine addiction. Sir John Marks Templeton explains its role in running his mutual fund business. Peter Lowe, who organizes seminars with speakers such as Colin Powell and former President Bush, describes how he prayed and found his wife.
As if speaking for many of those interviewed, Wayne Huizenga, who built Blockbuster Videos and bought the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins, affirms: "Prayer is the most important thing that I do."
King says he was impressed with "how people pray in so many ways - in a pool, a car, daily, hourly." Since the book came out, "I've run into people who say they are rethinking how they pray. One interviewer told me he now feels he doesn't pray enough."
More than 50 percent of Americans pray at least once a day, and many superachievers clearly are among them. This book is a glimpse into the rich and fruitful inner world they inhabit as they go about their daily lives - and make news.

HOUGHTON, Mich. – The U.S. National Cross-Country Skiing Championship will once again be held at the Michigan Tech Nordic Training Center in 2015 and 2016. After successful championships in 2007 and 2008, Tech received the bid based on a challenging trail system, which was renovated and expanded in 2001. The volunteer organizing committee also successfully staged the junior national championships, known as the Junior Olympics, in 2006.
"It is an exciting time for Michigan Tech Skiing as we will once again be able to showcase the Michigan Tech Trails and our race organization to ski enthusiasts from across the country," race coordinator Jim Tervo said. "Many of the volunteers from 2006, 2007, and 2008 have been asking when we will have another chance to host a national tournament. We are pleased to be able to tell them that our first racing will begin about January 3, 2015. A web page will be in place around the first of the year, and people will be able to start signing up for their assignments at that time."
Spectators will have the opportunity to see the top skiers in the country, including many who were members of the U.S. 2014 Olympic ski team.
"I'm excited to be hosting the US Nationals," Tech Nordic ski coach Joe Haggenmiller said. "For our team, it's a chance to race at home against the best competition in the United States. We also get to race more of our athletes in the event instead of having a smaller roster like we usually do with a week-long event."
Haggenmiller also talked about the impact hosting US Nationals will have on recruiting. "It will bring in a number of high school athletes who are trying to qualify for a U18 trip to Scandinavia or U20 trip to the World Junior Championships. Those are some of the skiers that we're looking to recruit. We want to focus on the top skiers in those age brackets and getting them to campus will certainly help us sell our world-class facilities and Michigan Tech as a whole."
The championship spans a week and consists of four different days of competition. The four events are classic distance, freestyle distance, classic sprint and freestyle sprint.
"We have a great group of people working hard to make this event happen," said athletic director Suzanne Sanregret. "It's not just the ski team staff or the athletic department but a full community effort.
"This is a great event and opportunity for us to show off our community, University, and facilities on a national scale."

The cholesterol level in your blood has a lot to do with your chances of getting heart disease. High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease.
When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it builds up in the walls of the arteries and this buildup causes "hardening of the arteries" so that arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or blocked.
The blood carries oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer chest pain. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack.
Practicing a low-fat, high-fiber diet provides your body with antioxidants and fiber that can prevent and reduce the buildup of bad cholesterol in your blood vessels.
Also, there is an all natural drink that can unclog your arteries and protect you from heart diseases
To prepare this drink you will need:
• Two teaspoons of freshly grated ginger
• 1 cup of washed raisins
• 4 teaspoons of green tea
• 1 liter of water
• 2 spoon of honey
Pour the raisins in a pot and add the water, then let it cook on low heat and after 10 minutes remove the pot from the heat and add the green tea, honey and the grated ginger. Put a lid on the pot and wrap it a warm woolen cloth. Let it stay overnight or for 8 hours then in the morning strain the drink. Drink around 150 to 200 ml. of the beverage twice a day before eating.
The raisins in the drink contain fiber, potassium and antioxidants that can all benefit the heart and the fibers also stimulate the burning of cholesterol.

EA Sports President Peter Moore has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Electronic Arts, replacing John Schappert who jumped to Zynga in early June.
Other changes include:
- Frank Gibeau is now President of the EA Labels.
- Label structure is expanding to four – EA Games, EA Sports, EA Play and BioWare.
- Barry Cottle is heading up EA Interactive which now includes Playfish, Pogo, EA Mobile, Popcap, and the Hasbro partnership.
"This is the first material re-organization since we established EA's label structure in 2007," said CEO John Riccitiello. "Our progress since then has been incredible."
"We executed against three transformational strategies: (1) Fewer, Better, Bigger, (2) Expanding our digital businesses, and (3) Tighter cost management. Our quality has risen dramatically. We've built an $800m+ digital business while pushing down operating costs. Not all of it was easy but looking back, it was exactly the right structure and priorities for the challenges we faced.
"Now, we are switching from defense to offense. We're focusing on building our intellectual properties/franchises into year-round business. We've established our own platform, Origin, and we continue to grow our digital business."

| A Beautiful Nightmare chapter 1 . 4/28/2006
Haha. This really made me laugh... it's so true! The rhymes were great too... anyways... on the second to the last line I think you should have a comma after "today"... and the whole last stanza seemed a bit wierd... haha... but whatever... that may just be me... keep it up!

"It's great"kidding, i hate that sort of review. I mean, i'm on here for constructive crit and all, not "its great." This is so true, it was a kind of amusing read as well. I'm no fan of rhyming, but your poem effectively conveys its message so I'll leave that alone. I didn't like the ending as well as the rest of it, but I don't have any specific suggestions on how to make it better either... hm...

I dont agree with the part about a review not changing a writer, because i find it very inspiring to be reviewed, to know what someone things, not if there jus suckin up, but if there honest it reli helps.

Taxman to Middle Class: 'Bend Over'
President Barack Obama in 2008, and again during the 2012 election, promised absolutely, positively no tax hikes on the middle class. The rich, however, must pay more: "It's not me being stubborn, it's not me being partisan — it's just a matter of math."
How does Obama intend to pay for our cradle-to-grave welfare state? Why, by charging the dastardly "millionaires and billionaires" who "can afford to pay a little bit more." No more extending the Bush-era tax rates for the rich. To do so, Obama tells us, would "cost" $700 billion — over 10 years. So this "break" for the rich "costs" $70 billion a year — or a mere 6 percent of the trillion dollar annual deficits that Obama has rung up since he became president.
This leaves us short about $930 billion per year — just for the annual deficit, never mind paring down the ever-growing national debt. From where is the shortfall to be made up?
Lots of deluded Obama voters no doubt truly believe "the mess we're in" is due to "two unpaid for wars and irresponsible tax cuts for the rich." End the wars and slap the rich with Clinton-era tax rates, and voila, watch the deficit and debt go poof! But with Obama safely re-elected, some Democrats now speak the truth: The middle class, contrary to Obama's promise, will see substantial tax increases in order to pay for the welfare state the voters once again signed on to by re-electing Obama.
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, appearing on MSNBC, said: "The only problem is — and this is, a little, initially going to seem like heresy from a progressive — the truth is everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich. That's a good start. But we're not going to get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board — to go back to what Bill Clinton had and his taxes. And if we don't do that, the problem is the pressure is going to be on spending even more."
Obama, however, still insists that any budget deal include tax rate hikes on the top 2 percent — a violation of the anti-tax-increase pledge most Capital Hill Republicans signed. He's winning the argument. Several Republicans now repudiate the pledge.
The "controversial" pledge states that the signer promises to his/her constituents and the American people to: "ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."
But with post-election polls showing that Americans support raising taxes on the rich, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, now places "revenue on the table" — meaning the GOP accepts the election returns as a referendum for a "balanced approach" to dealing with our deficits and debt. By "revenue," Boehner means closing "loopholes" and "capping deductions" used by "the rich" to pay less in taxes. And more recently, fiscal conservative Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., now says he would accept a hike in tax rates, provided the Democrats present a plan to reform entitlements.
Polls show that if Congress and the President fail to come to a deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff," Republicans will be blamed. And as the Democrats pin blame, expect their friends in the media to assist with joy and enthusiasm.
The Media Research Center tells us that ABC, NBC and CBS have a distorted view of the term "balance." After the election, those networks spent way more time on the issue of tax hikes than on the issue of spending cuts. ABC, says MRC, was the worst: "In the three weeks following President Obama's re-election, 'World News' devoted more than 10 minutes, 18 seconds to talk of tax hikes and just 35 seconds to spending cuts (a 17-to-1 margin)." So much for the balanced approach.
But the problem remains how to get rich people to pay for all the things voters want: insurance companies that are forbidden from turning away people with pre-existing illnesses; federal disaster relief; the placing of millions of uninsured on Medicaid; "world-class education"; "investments" in "green jobs of the future"; regulations to combat "climate change"; extending unemployment benefits again; etc.
In 1900, government spending at all three levels — local, state and federal — amounted to about 10 percent of national income. Government spending today amounts to 40 percent — or 50 percent, if one places a dollar value on the unfunded mandates imposed on states and businesses by Washington. The voters re-elected a President who increased the national debt faster and by a greater amount than any previous administration. And there are simply not enough rich folks to pay for it.
Obama, on Nov. 6, won the political argument to continue to expand government. But the election did nothing to change "the math." Memo to the middle class: Get ready, you're next.

Notes: {READNFO} First 3mins 51secs in russian due to incomplete english audio.
Gonna keep this short, sweet and to the point; Used the Russian Video, tweaked, filtered, cropped and resized it.
Took the english audio from the Spanish CAM rls, boosted volume, muxed, made a few small cuts and then synced it
over the top of the video. Video does still have quite a bit of movement, oh and it features some fat guys head that
pops up every now and again, don't blame us, blame him. – This would be a great CAM if it wasn't for the movement and
the guy with the megamind sized head but meh; here's a decent enough first proper CAM with no dumb ass watermarks and
an overall better video (not that any of you have probably seen the first source anyway.)
P.S – Honestly was not going to release this at all, but we put the work in on the sources at hand where nobody else
has as of yet. Watchable as always if you're desperate. We don't watch CAM's ourselves, we just do the best with what
sources are available because we know that some people do.

The fact remains that India is the country with the highest menace of overpopulation in the entire universe. Just consider a country, which has more than 15% of the population of the world. Because of this, students of social sciences like philosophy, sociology and political science may be told to write essays on population in India. Now, when you are told to write such essay, you may either engage in a creative writing that will describe the population trend in India and other things surrounding it. But on another angle, you may choose to argue in favor of the population growth hinging on the strengths it gives the nation, or you may wish to focus on the negative aspects of the population growth in the country. When you are told to write this essay, you may not have the necessary knowledge to kick-start something that will make a good read. You may also not have the time to sit down, research and write about it. There are many college essays where you will just pick your class note and before you know it, the essay is ready. But the issue of population in India is one you may not have learnt in details in the classroom. This will need extra research from you to come up with the materials and information you will write with. If you are one of those students that sponsor themselves through school, and therefore have to work and school at the same time, you will not have the time to write the essay. If you also have many other assignments on your table, you may not have the time to do the needed research for this population problem in India essay. This is the moment you will need our paper writing service. When you hire us, you will enjoy unique services. We know that every client is different and people come with different problems. We try as much as possible to approach your essay with the best possible method so as to give you details of what you need.
Before you outsource your essay on tourism in India to us, you should know that we can also help you in order aspects of your academics. We also do full dissertation writing services , and we offer samples, templates and many other things. If you have an assignment that has a very tight deadline, then you can come and enjoy our cheap urgent service. This will ensure that you will get your paper before the deadline, no matter how short you notify us. Now, when you want to hire us to help you with an essay, you should provide enough details so that we know the direction to channel your essay. If there are any specific details from your lecturer about the essay, you have to make this available to us. You should also strive to feed us with your class or academic level so that we will write according to the information that is relevant for people of such level. Now, to avoid being scammed by people who are not real in offering the writing services, you should not make any upfront payments before your work is commenced. If you are told to place money in escrow, then that is the best practice. But to make an outright payment before you get the services is not something you should try. Are you writing a dissertation, and are you having problems with the introduction, just relax and order a dissertation introduction from us. Many people do not understand the importance of introduction in everything they write in college. The fact remains that your introduction determines how good your essay on poverty in India will be.
When you want to write an essay on the population growth and its effects in India, there are some areas you should focus on. Whenever you succeed in picking out a good thesis statement from these areas, you will enjoy a great essay. You can focus on the history of the population growth in India and how it came to where it is at the moment. Are there cultural and social trends that forced people to bear more children that made the population to escalate? You can examine the role religion has played in it all. Many religious beliefs encourage massive procreation and view birth control of all sorts as a sacrilege. You can highlight and expatiate on this. Another angle you can explore is the political angle to it. It is obvious everywhere that voting is done by numbers. However in India, there are some areas where voting center on a caste system. Therefore, the caste that has more population is meant to lord over the others, and therefore, the need to give birth to more people. You can also explore the place of early marriage in this. This marriage system that is very prevalent in India has also led to the growth in population, and you can look at it.
On the other angle, you can turn to an examination of the merits of a small family. This may take you to look at what India would have been like if it does not have the current number of people in it. When you are searching for specific topics for your essay on unemployment in India , you can focus on the impact of the overpopulation on the economy of the nation, how the population of the nation is distributed and which people suffer most among the areas. You can even look at the problem of uneven distribution of this population. When you are through with your essay, you can hire us to give it the desired finishing touches. We can do proofreading, editing and grammar corrections. Our dissertation editing services is always on course.

A winner was selected from 157 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
Smoothie Zone
We are opening a smoothie/juice bar inside a nutritional supplement store (similar to GNC). We will be serving smoothies and juices. We are a fitness minded company.
Our existing clients are fitness minded, but we want to appeal to everyone.
We need a logo for our brand Smoothie Zone. We have attached a design that we thought was interesting, but we are open to variations of this design or something completely different. The logo will be printed on signs, cups, napkins, menus etc so it should be versatile in that regard. It should be fun and bright, but also professional looking since it is inside an existing store. We like the colors in the attached graphic but we're open to other ideas as well.
