When you can't give a pet the care that it deserves anymore, you find a new home for it. Accounting software company Intuit is packing up its original product, the personal finance program Quicken, and sending it off to live with new owners. The private equity firm H.I.G. Capital and Eric Dunn, the general manager of the Quicken brand will purchase the program and its brand. [More]

The Nation's Biggest Companies Agree: Gay Marriage Is Good For Business
Next month, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments with regard to the legality of state laws that prohibit same-sex marriages. And while the issue has been politically divisive, many of the nation's most powerful corporations — from airlines to insurance to beer to baseball teams — agree that banning gay marriage is not good for business.

Have You Quit Mint.com?
Mint.com started as a darling of free online personal finance management tools but the love affair has soured for some users since the site was acquired by Intuit back in 2009. At first it was complaints about the ads for Quicken and other Intuit products and some of the fun language and tone getting lost. But in late 2010 Mint switched their backend system from Yodlee to Quicken's in-house one, leading a number of customers' accounts screwed up and prompting some to abandon Mint entirely. [More]
Mint Makes Saving More Fun With New "Goals" Dashboard
Mint was the cool kid on the financial website block until it cut its hair and went corporate, but the Intuit-owned service can still roll out some nifty features now and then. The latest is a "goals" dashboard, which takes advantage of our natural tendency to try harder if there's some way to see immediate feedback. Under your account there's now a goals tab, where you can activate any of the default choices ("get out of debt," "take a trip," "buy a home") or create your own ("laser hair removal," "pvc bodysuit"). Then you can link your accounts to that goal, and have a quick visual metric you can use to stay focused. [More]

Mint Upselling To "Free"CreditReport.com
It didn't take long for Intuit to start ruining a great product. They've begun upselling Mint.com customers to two "free" credit report sites that are anything but. UPDATE: Turns out Mint was already doing this pre-Intuit. Bully for them.
Quicken Online To Be Shut Down Next Year, Accounts Merged With Mint
When news broke back in September that Intuit, the company behind Quicken, was buying personal finance website Mint, everyone wondered how the two services would co-exist. The worst case scenario was that Mint would be absorbed somehow into Intuit's in-house competitor, Quicken Online. Thankfully, it looks like the opposite will happen.
What's The Over/Under On Mint Starting To Suck Now That Intuit Bought Them?
I blanched when I saw the subject line, "Mint.com to be acquired by Intuit, maker of Quicken." More like "Mint.com to be acquired by Intuit, makers of crap," I thought. Judging by your comments, I don't blanch alone.
Intuit Will Buy Mint.com For $170 Million
No longer wishing to compete with Mint.com, Quicken-maker Intuit has decided to buy it. The AP says that the company plans to keep its current offering, Quicken Online, but that it will be aimed at customers who also use its Quicken desktop software. Mint.com will become the company's primary personal finance website.
What's The Best Personal Finance Software?
Slate tested a slew of personal-finance tools recently, and Mint and Quicken Online were the top two winners, with Mint only a point behind. Besides the advertising disguised as "ways to save," one area where Mint lost points was not being able to create custom categories. Three days later, Mint announced that they were enabling custom categories. So, in a do-over, Mint would probably win. Plus it's free. UPDATE: Quicken Online just launched a basic tier of service for free. The dance continues!

Ah, home sweet home...um, maybe. That urban castle of solace can quickly turn into one of strife if you are plagued by nosey or noisy neighbors.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood never prepared us for the Griswolds and Mr. & Mrs. Smiths of the world. Now that the weather is improving, you can't rush past your neighbor because it's too cold to chat. So how can you move from avoidance to acceptance and appreciate the neighbors you have? Aside from practicing good citizenship skills, a quick solution is to acknowledge there is a problem and use creepy, scary movie therapy. Your current neighbors will never look better!
Complaint #1: Mow your yard, buy some mulch, and plant some flowers already!
Solution: Rear Window because murder kills a yard faster than a neighbor without a green thumb.
Complaint #2: Too many block parties!
Solution: The Stepford Wives because being part of a group is mind numbing.
Complaint #3: I just got off work and don't want to talk about my spirituality.
Solution: Rosemary's Baby because when you live next door to the Devil's family, chatting with anyone else who rings your doorbell is truly win/win.
Complaint #4: My neighbors have no personality.
Solution: Invasion of the body Snatchers because having neighbors that suck the life out of you is far worse. (See also complaint #2)
Complaint #5: Why all the renovations after midnight?!
Solution: Fright Night because your neighbor may be a vampire and you need to know how to get rid of him.
Still no neighborly relief? Before you rent a U-Haul, let us help you help yourself. The Library has movies for whatever ails you.
This blog is awesome!
Serial Mom needs to be on this list for sure!
Thanks for the laugh!
Serial Mom is a great title for this list. Two colleagues also recommended Pepping Tom and Barton Fink...both very creepy, scary movies.

Reeves, J. N. and O'Brien, P. T. and Ward, M. J. (2003) 'A massive x-ray outflow from the quasar PDS 456.', Astrophysical journal : letters., 593 (2). L65-L68.
We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, which can be attributed to a series of blueshifted K-shell absorption edges due to highly ionized iron. The higher resolution soft X-ray Reflection Grating Spectrometer spectrum exhibits a broad absorption line feature near 1 keV, which can be modeled by a blend of L-shell transitions from highly ionized iron (Fe XVIIFe XXIV). An extreme outflow velocity of 50,000 km s-1 is required to model the K- and L-shell iron absorption present in the XMM-Newton data. Overall, a large column density (NH = 5 × 1023 cm-2) of highly ionized gas (log = 2.5) is required in PDS 456. A high-mass outflow rate of 10 M yr-1 (assuming a conservative outflow covering factor of 0.1 sr) is derived, which is of the same order as the overall mass accretion rate in PDS 456. The kinetic energy of the outflow represents a substantial fraction (10%) of the quasar energy budget, while the large column and outflow velocity place PDS 456 toward the extreme end of the broad absorption line quasar population.

However, accumulated profits stand at €7.9m The brothers are reckoned to be one of NAMA's biggest debtors and are best known for major Dublin housing schemes, such as the €300m development of the former Dun Laoghaire golf club.
German morale up for third month
GERMAN business morale improved for a third consecutive month in January, adding to evidence that Europe's largest economy is rebounding after a contraction in the fourth quarter of last year.
The Munich-based Ifo think tank said its business climate index, based on a monthly survey of 7,000 firms, rose to 104.2 in January, the highest reading since June 2012 and up from 102.4 in December.
Answer due on Aer Lingus takeover
EUCompetition Commission Joaquin Almunia has said a decision on Ryanair's takeover bid of Aer Lingus is expected in late February or early March. He said they were looking at the concerns and the possible remedies.
UK economy on 'triple-dip' edge
BRITAIN'S economy shrank more than expected at the end of 2012 with a North Sea oil production slump, lower factory output and a hangover from London's Olympics pushing it perilously close to a 'triple-dip' recession.
GDP fell 0.3pc in the fourth quarter, the Office for National Statistics said yesterday, sharper than a 0.1pc decline forecast by analysts. The news is a blow for Britain's Conservative-led government and the UK credit rating.
Net income up at Procter & Gamble
PROCTER & Gamble said its net income more than doubled in the final three months of last year.
The world's biggest consumer products maker boosted its profit outlook as its market share recovers.
From October to December, the company earned $4.06bn (€3.01bn), up from $1.69bn, in the same quarter last year. Its revenue increased 2pc to $22.18bn.

In defeat supporters will grab any solace they can. Just after the final whistle the announcement that the M6 was closed southbound was met with jeers and gestures directed towards those who had travelled up from the Midlands.
Birmingham's anthem is Keep Right on to the End of the Road and they would not mind the diversions. Not since March, at another old stadium by the sea, Portsmouth's Fratton Park, had Birmingham won away from home and not since 1960, when Stanley Matthews and Jimmy Armfield wore tangerine, had Birmingham won here. All across the West Midlands, and especially at St Andrew's, nerves were beginning to fray.
It would be impossible to imagine that the win at Fratton Park was as entertaining as this contest settled by Scott Dann, who wriggled into the area in the final minute after Roger Johnson had played a cross back towards his fellow centre-half. Their manager, Alex McLeish, had pushed both up in recognition that a draw would not have been good enough. "We might have settled for a piece of the cake," he said. "But we needed the result."
Only in the scoreline was the crowd short-changed; the post was struck three times, once by the home side; twice, through Cameron Jerome and a Sebastian Larsson free-kick, by Birmingham. Both came in a period shortly after the restart when McLeish thought the contest should have been settled.
They were already one up and, frankly given the way they started, it might have been more. The Blackpool manager, Ian Holloway, who is anxious to calm expectations, had pointed out that Alexander Hleb's wages "would pay for my team".
He could make a similar statement about a member of every side that comes to Blackpool this season. He could also ask his players not to offer them the kind of gift Stephen Crainey presented to Birmingham's Belarussian on a night the Blackpool manager described as "a reality check for anyone who wears tangerine".
Hleb was on the right hand side of the area and once Crainey had passed to him, all he had to do was run through and score. It was a self-inflicted wound and, had Jerome not stumbled over the ball when played through by Hleb, it might have widened just before the interval.
The absence of Lee Bowyer, serving the first of the three-match ban for raking his studs along the back of Bacary Sagna's legs against Arsenal on Saturday night, was barely noticed.
Bloomfield Road has had its winter break – this was the first time Blackpool had managed a home game in 45 days but Holloway's philosophy had not been lost amid the ice and snow. A goal down, they lost neither their nerve nor their verve and equalised through DJ Campbell, who had been brought to Birmingham by Steve Bruce and had been voted Blackpool's player of the month for December on the evidence of the two matches they had been able to play.
A cross from Neal Eardley was headed down by Gary Taylor-Fletcher and volleyed home. McLeish thought it had been coming: "We had become an accident waiting to happen," he remarked. But for the post that kept out Charlie Adam's drive, Birmingham might have been a write-off.
Nevertheless, Ben Foster, whom Sir Alex Ferguson allowed to leave Manchester United despite believing he was the best English goalkeeper in the Premier League, proved the Scot's point. His save from a fabulous curling drive thundered in from Adam's boots was exhibit A and a low, one-handed block from a Brett Ormerod effort was B.

Peace College announced in a press release today that, beginning in the Fall 2012 semester, it will admit male students to its day undergraduate programs for the first time in its over a century and a half existence. From the press release:
"Becoming William Peace University reflects our growth as an institution and will deepen and broaden our ability to help our students succeed," said Beth Cherry, Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees and a Peace alumna....
Cherry noted that the steps the Trustees announced today are the latest in a long series of changes for the institution.
Peace was founded in 1857 as Peace Institute, offering education for girls and women from kindergarten to college. It later became a two-year college offering associate's degrees before becoming a four-year baccalaureate college in the early 1990s. "The needs of our students are always changing, and Peace is changing with them," Cherry said. "This is a great day for our school."

Welcome to the 20th Century!
But now how will they learn to cope in the real world, populated entirely by women?!
I'm thinking about going for a second bachelor's degree…
Yada yada… Where will the football team play?
This is absolutely appalling. Women really should go to different schools. Its no secret that education was better before schools became co-ed, and the fact that there are close to no all-boy or all-girl schools just validates what everyone knows… higher education has gone down the tubes. Education is about discipline, not socializing. Now that schools are integrated all-around, college is less about learning and more about sex and partying. The fact that many people consider an awful liberal-minded "school" such as UNC to be great nowadays only proves that. When I grew up, that school was only for the touchy-feely people who were incapable of learning engineering. Men should attend rigorous technical institutions while women fit in better at schools focused on humanities and education. That system worked so well when I was growing up… is it any coincidence that the current system of higher education has created such an inefficient society? Is anyone really surprised that we're in a recession? Do you also think its a coincidence that education and american society have declined at the same time?
W T F are you talking about?
You really can't tell what I'm talking about? I'm saying that college is not taken seriously any more and, of course, quality of education is declining. Because of that, the country has also become less efficient in many ways. You not being able to understand my point only validates what I am trying to say. When I was in school, people learned useful skills that could be applied in careers. Nowadays, liberal arts degrees from useless places like UNC are the standard. Because of that, underqualified people are employed everywhere (just look at the white house).
was this when you had to walk to school barefoot uphill in the snow….....both ways?
NCSUGrad1975 is definitely White House material!
Oh boy, people like NCSUGrad1975 almost make me ashamed to live in this state… and they make it impossible for me to like NC State.
NCSUGrad1975 your exactly the kind of person that is ruining the internet for me.
You had a somewhat interesting point about co-ed schools being distracting learning environments. I'd probably agree with that and its too bad there is one less option out there for women in this state (there are even fewer, if any, for men). But its really not up to a school to enforce educational rigor or discipline. That should have happened at home. Kids who slack off and party too much won't do well in school and those that work hard will succeed.
Unfortunately, you over-extended your point and muddled it with both your political bias and your ACC B-ball allegiances. You've reduced the discussion to Tarheel bashing, conspiracy theories, and typical right wing crybabyness. Maybe if you had one of those silly liberal arts degrees (which btw don't have anything to do with the democratic party or painting!) you would know something about defending an argument.
"Women really should go to different schools. Its no secret that education was better before schools became co-ed . . . Men should attend rigorous technical institutions while women fit in better at schools focused on humanities and education" . . . This stuff would be offensive if it wasn't so laughable. You'd need more than your personal opinion to make this stick. And almost every subsequent statement is not only ridiculous but very uninformed.
"UNC is a useless and awful liberal-minded "school" . . . Why don't you hang out at the business school and find out how liberal-minded they are? Or go to the breast cancer research lab at the Public Health school and see how useless it is? And I sure hope our inefficient society doesn't need pharmacists, or dentists, doctors, or lawyers, or nurses, or social workers, or historians, etc.
"UNC is for touchy-feely people who can't learn engineering" . . . What does this even mean? Do you have any idea what the "liberal arts" are? Do you have any idea where the "university" came from? and how it is fundamentally different than a trade school? I'd suggest you do some research on that. There are plenty of places (community colleges, tech schools, etc.) to learn that "real world" stuff that you can't learn at a university.
"Liberal arts degrees are the standard and thats why under-qualified people are employed everywhere". . . Where do you find this to be the case? I don't disagree that any college degree (Lib-Arts included) can be useless if you don't know what to do with it. But, I'd say in this economy its very hard to attain or retain a job for which you're not qualified. And not every qualification is a educational credential!
And THIS is your reasoning for the inefficiency in our society? the recession? the decline of America? CO-ed colleges and liberal arts degrees and UNC? come on dude.
There are definitely problems with higher education, education at all levels, and our society as a whole. But that is not what you've described. Your narrative just doesn't add up. Americans have access to a multitude of education options if they just know what they are looking for. Students come from all over the world to attend our schools because they do not have that ability at home. An interesting discussion would have a lot less to do with universities supplying degrees, which are in high demand (thats the free market, right?), and more to do with parents relinquishing their responsibilities to every institution available and allowing their kids to chase unrealistic, unattainable goals (thats personal responsibility, right?).
jay_sikes, don't waste your time… let's just chalk this up as another one of those angry, ignorant state fan who has nothing else to do this summer but vent his anti-unc/anti-liberal emotions. Its clear that the man is incapable of thinking objectively… so there is no convincing him that he is wrong.
Please go back under the rock from whence you came.
NCSUGrad1975, thank you very much for reminding me why I refused to even apply to state. Ignorant people like you are so good at making me feel better and better every passing day that I never had to set foot on that campus with a bunch of angry right-wingers like yourself. Its almost like they teach ignorance and intolerance at that place.
I have a liberal arts degree from NC State.
the outrage stems more from the rapid changes (with little to no alumni input) than whether or not the school will admit men. the factors which attracted me to the school were the legacy, traditions, and sisterhood. with one fell swoop everything i loved about the school has been changed. the administration claims these changes will open peace up for growth but with half the majors cut, 1/3 of the faculty gone, and a tuition which is CONSIDERABLY higher than one down the street (NCSU) we alumni are wondering how sound these decisions really are.
@tom: Your comment is just as bad as NCSUGrad1975's. Not everyone at UNC is a liberal touchy-feely person and not everyone at NCSU is a right-wing nut job. There are ignorant people everywhere, especially on the internet.
@NCSUGrad1975: I transfered from a science program at UNC to a liberal arts program at NCSU? Did I just blow your mind? I'm now putting that liberal arts degree to work for a large corporation. I have no doubt I would have been a productive member of society had I stayed at UNC. People get what they want out of college.
I get it - NCSUGrad1975 has a degree in creative writing from UNC. Clever work my friend.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right, JP. Only a jobless loser from a school like that would have time to troll this website. He's probably depressed about the football team getting owned for the last four years before being investigated and forcing their cheating coach to be fired. Silly tarholes.

On Monday last week, the fifth season of Boston Public hit the airwaves with "Smoke Signals," which featured Alan teaming up with Dennys former flame Bethany to try a case against a tobacco comapny. Tonight, the David E. Kelly series returns with Episode 5.2 entitled "Guardians and Keepers."Tonight on Boston Legal, the courtroom battles ensue as Alan sues the drug companies after a client asks for his help, given that he has been taking 42 different medications daily. Katie takes a case involving a young woman who claims that she was raped by a guard when she was sent to a private drug treatment center. Meanwhile, Carl works on a case with Shirley's granddaughter.

10/6/2008 Boston Legal: Preview of "Dances with Wolves"
On the last episode of the legal dramedy Boston Legal, we witnessed how Denny (William Shatner) fainted in the lobby of Crane, Poole, and Schmidt, while Alan (James Spader) helped someone take on the drug companies that contributed to how critical his condition had become. Meanwhile, Carl (John Larroquette) helped Shirleys (Candice Bergen) granddaughter who found herself in a legal debacle after voting in the presidential primaries. For her part, Katie (Tara Summers) took a case of a young woman who claimed he was raped by the guard of a private drug treatment facility.Tonight, Denny faces arrest once again after he is found carrying a concealed firearm when he shoots a man who tries to mug him and Jerry. It looks like it was a case of self-defense. Meanwhile, Alan fights for the right of a sex surrogate to get joint custody of her daughter. A little side note and something that might complicate matters: he was a former client of hers.

10/13/2008 Boston Legal: Preview of "True Love"
On the last episode of Boston Legal called "Dances with Wolves," Denny faced arrest when he was found carrying a concealed firearm which he used to shoot a man who tried to mug him and Jerry. It pretty much looked like a case of self-defense. Meanwhile, Alex fought for the right of a sex surrogate to get joint custody of her daughter. On tonights episode of Boston Legal called "True Love," Alan Shore is called by a former flame by the name of Phoebe Prentice to get him to defend her husbands innocence in the nurse murder case. As he is in love with Phoebe, he kind of wishes that her husband is guilty so they can rekindle their relationship. Meanwhile, Denny thinks it will all work out for Alan since the client is unlikeable and the jury will rule against him. This moral and professional dilemma will be the center of the Boston Legal episode as he secretly hopes for a conviction.

10/20/2008 Boston Legal: Preview of "The Bad Seed"
On the last episode of Boston Legal, his ex-flame Phoebe Prentice called Alan (James Spader) to attest to the innocence of her husband in the murder of a nurse. Unbeknownst to her, Alan was secretly hoping that her husband was guilty and convicted to get a second chance at Phoebe. Meanwhile, Denny thought things would work out for Alan since the client looked kind of unlikable and the jury would most likely rule against him. It was a moral and professional dilemma on Crane, Poole & Schmidt. On tonights episode of Boston Legal, Alan and Shirley (Candice Bergen) are on for what looks like an uphill fight against the military while fighting on the side of a man whose brother died in a military hospital under suspicious circumstances. Meanwhile, Jerry (Christian Clemenson) has to help his sister Joy (Annie Potts) in her quest for the identity of the father of her son.

10/27/2008 Boston Legal: Preview of "Happy Trails"
The last episode of Boston Legal opened with Carl Sack, Shirley and Alan staring intently at Dennys eyeball. So he went to Shirley for medical advice. Meanwhile, some have commented how it had come to that: the four top lawyers of a top law firm all lounging around and doing nothing, when someone who looked like a poor person came in. Also, it was weird, according to some, how Bill Shatner assured James Spader that him losing an Emmy had nothing to do with "being the star of the show." It sure broke the proverbial fourth wall.Tonight on Boston Public, Alan Shore and Denny Crane take a break from all the lawyering and go to a Dude Ranch in Utah. However, they would soon find out that they have very little in common and find themselves at odds with some of their fellow enthusiasts in the ranch. Fortunately or not, Melvin Palmer happens to be at the same ranch so they call on him despite finding him irritating. Meanwhile, Shirley Schmidt has to defend someone who unintentionally blows up her doctor when she set his office on fire for prescribing potentially fatal medication.

11/17/2008 Boston Legal: Preview of "Kill Baby, Kill"
As the spin-off of The Practice nears its December 8 series finale, the Emmy-winning writer-producer of Boston Legal David Kelley is said to find himself without a television series for the first time in two decades. For the fans of the legal dramedy who are dreading to see its five-season run come to a close, NBC recently scooped up a script by Kelley for a possible Fall 2009 premiere. The script is reportedly about an aging lawyer who works with his adult daughter at a Chicago firm. The premise sounds pretty bland at this point, but additional developments should be in the offing."Itll feature a cauldron of eccentric characters," Kelley tells Entertainment Weekly. "Its much more of a comedy than some of my other shows. Some of the [touches] will remind you of Boston Legal and Ally McBeal, but it wont be an issue- or case-driven show. Its about the comedic relationship."

12/10/2008 David E. Kelley: ABC Pulled the Plug on 'Boston Legal'
Boston Legals Monday episode saw a satisfying conclusion that left viewers wanting more. Unfortunately, that episode marked the ending of the legal dramas five-year run. And even though series creator David E. Kelley, the cast and crew, as well as the fans of Boston Legal, wanted the show to linger on for at least another season, that decision was sadly up to ABC, which opted to pull the plug on the program this year. "ABC didnt want us back," Kelley told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Its as simple as that. They didnt even want us back for this year at all. We had to fight to get back on with 13. Its not a product they care to market."

6/19/2009 'Star Trek' Star William Shatner Flips the Bird at Conan O'Brien
William Shatner, who gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk on the television series Star Trek and as attorney Denny Crane on the television drama Boston Legal, left a bold statement Wednesday night on The Tonight Show with Conan OBrien. The 78-year-old actor graced the late night talk show to promote his book, Up Till Now: The Autobiography, as well as his latest comic effort, William Shatner Presents: The Tek War Chronicles, which arrives in stores on June 24. However, the interview was reduced to a farce when he stuck up his middle finger at OBrien.

Justin Mentell, who played Garrett Wells on Boston Legal, was found dead Monday morning near his wrecked Jeep in rural Iowa County, reports the Wisconsin State Journal.

5/19/2010 BuddyTV: Most Disappointing TV Finales
Many of our favorite TV shows are celebrating their final curtain call this month--some are season finales, some endings are just for a series. And this got us thinking of TV endings that left us scratching our heads or screaming at our TV screens, and quite possibly left us in our own little world of loathing. Its hard enough to deal with the fact that your favorite TV series is coming to a close, but its even more frustrating to see an ending that didnt live up to its hype. Heres our list, with some help from our Facebook followers, of some of the most controversial and disappointing finales.

4/6/2011 'The Office' Adds Ray Romano, James Spader, Catherine Tate to Stacked Season 7 Finale
Is all this Office casting news making your head spin yet? Well, screw it back on tight, because theres more speculation to be had ... right now:TVLine reports that Ray Romano, British actress Catherine Tate and the great James Spader (Boston Legal) will all appear in the Office season 7 finale, which already boasts guests Will Arnett and Ricky Gervais. Ausiello suggests that these three could be on the short list as Steve Carell replacements, but Mindy Kalings recent tweets tell a different story: The Office writer/Kelly Kapoor says Arnett will play the Scranton Strangler, while Spader will play his public defender. Its possible Kaling could be misdirecting us, but since she also joked about how Spader and Arnett would share a "Secretary"-like storyline, the Strangler reveal sounds more legit. It at least sounds like more exciting casting than a room full of comedy heavyweights all vying for one little regional manager gig.

English to Simplified Chinese Translation Professional Penny Reid
Member since June 06, 2013
Hi, my name is Penny Reid. I was born and raised in Taiwan and I came to the United States to finish my college education. Since my husband does not speak any Chinese and my mother does not speak any English, I have been translating between our families for the past 20 years. I have been bi-lingual all my life. I attended and graduated from Taipei American School which gave me a strong base of English meanwhile my mother tongue is Mandarin which I have spoken daily at home in Taiwan. I am currently assisting lawyers in the NY/NJ area with immigration clients; not just to break the language barriers in the justice system but also help the new immigrants recognizing their constitutional rights. Besides the legal career, my background is in the financial fields. I have obtained several financial designations including but not limited to various Life and Health Insurance licenses from different states and also NASD licenses. I have worked with several big financial corporations such as Prudential and New York Life Insurance companies. My goal is to help as many immigrants as possible to achieve their American dreams and continue my path in the legal field. I am sure that joining the team in VerbalizeIt will be giving me more opportunities to expose my bi-lingual abilities be more useful

Among the largest LNG terminals in the world, the Golden Pass LNG Terminal is capable of accommodating 15.6 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas per year, or approximately 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, through its dual berth ship docks. With two processing trains and advanced vaporization systems, the terminal can send out 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day into the Golden Pass pipeline to meet the needs of customers, providing them with maximum flexibility.
Golden Pass LNG's five storage tanks are each large enough to hold the volume of 62 olympic-size swimming pools. The tanks were constructed with 50 million pounds of steel and 5,000 valves. The Golden Pass berth area is large enough to hold about 77 football fields.
The Port Arthur area and Sabine-Neches Waterway serve as an excellent location for an LNG terminal, as it is one of only a few deepwater ports along the Gulf Coast suitable for LNG carriers.
The 69-mile Golden Pass Pipeline is capable of processing an average of 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. It connects to major Gulf Coast markets including the Houston Ship Channel and major interstate pipelines extending into the northeastern and midwestern United States.


text: I fished the holston on friday from 11-4 below the dam at the quarry. Apparently everyone hit the holston today, guys were everywhere! I stayed in the same spot the entire afternoon, and twice I had people come over and fish my run right across from me. Not that it mattered however, because all day I only saw 4 other people catch fish. There were a few rises here and there and the only real hatch coming off was a rediculously small black midge. It was a heavy hatch however, and when I got back to my truck I had empty shucks all over my waders. I managed to catch 4, and LDR 3 more. All in all it wasnt a bad day. i was reminding however why I prefer the mountains over the tailwaters. Less people and fish that arent nearly as picky. On a side note, it seems the holston has the smallest average size fish of any tailwater I have ever fished. Not to say there arent some big ones in there, but it seems 95% of the fish are under 14 inches. Have you all allso noticed this?

Prince gets defensive, as he's offensive...
...and not 'offensive' as in unpleasant, offensive as in attacking!
Prince - as Kevin-Prince Boateng wants to be know, has uttered words, to The News, that are 'music to my ears.'
He claims that he is not a defensive midfielder and has been signed on the instruction not to be: 'Paul Hart has also told me he doesn't want me to be a defensive midfielder and that's fine by me.'
It has been my thinking that in Jamie O'Hara we had an option that would get forward, so with him as part of a central 3, as part of the 4-5-1 system, he could get forward offering us an attacking threat - if Prince can do this too then it is happy days!
The former German U21 also said: 'when I first arrived in England at Spurs, Martin Jol thought I was a defensive midfielder.
'That's where he put me all the time in training. He just wanted me to concentrate on the defence.
'I'm not a defensive midfielder, I like to go forward, I like to get into the box and get into positions and score. That's what I want to do.
'If there are chances I can score goals, I just want to go forwards.
Attack away...
Of course the likes of O'Hara Prince cannot, and for me will not, neglect their defensive duties but with someone like Aaron Mokoena deployed solely as that defensive screen for the back 4, rarely venturing further forward than the half way line, this only backs up mine - and others' - thoughts that we have a great deal of creative, and goalscoring threat, from the midfield now than we did.

There wasn't a fruitcake, ham or turkey waiting for employees of Bertch Manufacturing this holiday season.
Instead the company is flying 1,300 people to Cancun, Mexico, where they will stay at an oceanside resort that has Jacuzzis in every room, a beach and golf course.
Bertch is paying the entire bill for employees and their spouses. Eight chartered jets will leave Waterloo on Monday and return Jan. 7. "Everything is taken care of. All I have to do is tell them I'd like to go," said Jeff Eastland, a machine operator in the Bertch factory in Waterloo. So far 800 workers have signed up. The company employs more than 1,400 people, most of them in Waterloo. The company also has operations in Jesup and Oelwein.
The company's owners, Gary and Becky Bertch, came up with the trip idea in the late 1980s. The company pays for a trip every two or three years if business goals are met. "We always have had more of an 'everybody wins or everybody loses' mentality. So we thought if we're going to do it, we're going to do it for everybody," Gary Bertch said. Production shuts down for the week of the trip. Employees have gone to Acapulco, Hawaii and on Caribbean cruises. "We're trying to find a warm place in the Iowa winter," Bertch said.

Secondly, if you'd have looked thoroughly enough you'd have already seen the already-existant show-off thread (http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=76573), which is where you're SUPPOSED show off your cards.

Why New York Rangers' Ryan McDonagh Should Be a Norris Trophy CandidateMarch 27, 2014
Ryan McDonagh already had a staunch reputation as one of the NHL's top shutdown defenders, and you would be hard pressed to name a defender that is a better skater than the former University of Wisconsin Badger.
Defense and gap control on the ice has been a trademark of McDonagh's game to date, but this year he has added another element to his arsenal of skills.
Everything has gone right for McDonagh this season, and he deserves to receive league-wide recognition in some way. McDonagh is a long shot to win the Norris Trophy, but he does deserve to be a candidate—and finalist—for the coveted award.
It has long been debated that the NHL should create a second award for defensemen. The league recognizes the top defensive forwards with the Frank J. Selke trophy, but historically the Norris Trophy has been awarded to the league's top offensive defensemen.
Here is a list of the last four Norris Trophy winners, and how many points they tallied during their trophy-winning season.
|Last Four Norris Trophy Winners
|Total Points
|Games Played
|P.K. Subban, Montreal Canadiens
|Erik Karlsson, Ottawa Senators
|Nicklas Lidstrom, Detroit Red Wings
|Duncan Keith, Chicago Blackhawks
As you can see, all the winners were dynamite offensive contributors. Subban is the exception, but things went differently during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign.
If another trophy was introduced, McDonagh would be a shoe-in to win, but that isn't the case in today's NHL. Therefore, let's take a look at McDonagh's case for the Norris.
On the surface, McDonagh's 14 goals and 29 assists for 43 points looks great when coupled with everything else he does as a defenseman. However, he doesn't stand a chance to receive consideration if he doesn't hit the 50-point mark.
It isn't that McDonagh doesn't have the offense—it is that he simply doesn't have enough of it. Here is where McDonagh currently ranks among the league's top defenders in offensive categories.
|Ryan McDonagh's Place Among League Leading Defensemen
|League Rank
|Even Strength Points
|Power Play T.O.I.
As you can see, McDonagh has solid numbers, but his lack of power-play time compared to other defenders has resulted in less offensive production.
This year, head coach Alain Vigneault has given him the freedom to create offense, and that paid huge dividends during the Blueshirts contest Monday against the Phoenix Coyotes. In future seasons, Vigneault likely will let McDonagh play more of an offensive game given the success he's had this season.
McDonagh scored the game-winning goal from the net mouth, something that would have never happened during the John Tortorella era. The Rangers' top defender has also scored from other areas on the ice, and here is a look at the game-winning goal he scored against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
It has simply been amazing to see McDonagh improve his offensive output, and it is even more remarkable that his defensive game hasn't suffered the slightest. McDonagh was the No. 2 defenseman for the United States at the Sochi Olympic games, and it speaks volumes that a defender as young as he is was counted on for such an important role.
During the tournament he was a solid defender, and that opportunity showcased his abilities to the entire world. Since returning from the Olympics, McDonagh has been the Rangers' best player, and he has tallied 12 points in 15 games.
McDonagh is kicking it into high gear down the stretch, and unfortunately he won't get enough recognition for the award. Duncan Keith and Erik Karlsson are having amazing offensive seasons, and McDonagh's defensive excellence won't be enough to bridge the gap.
At the end of the day, McDonagh is only 24. This is the first year that he has been allowed to showcase his offensive game, and he can only get better from here. Given his package of skills, his defensive play and skating ability, it is fair to say that he should be a favorite for the award over the next three to four seasons.
McDonagh's play has certainly helped put the Rangers in a position to secure a playoff spot, and the next step for No. 27 will be carrying this success into the playoffs. The regular season is where a player can make a name for himself, but the playoffs are where a player makes his legacy.
After the season McDonagh has had to date, former Montreal Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey is probably second guessing his decision that sent McDonagh to the New York Rangers in a deal that sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens.
Gomez has since been bought out, and McDonagh has illustrated why he's one of the best defenders in the entire NHL.

Voters Feel Stuff About Things
This may be the most useless poll ever commissioned. And that includes Public Policy Polling's "Transformers or Voltron?" poll of summer 1986.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 75% of likely voters now say they are at least somewhat angry at the government's current policies, up four points from late November and up nine points since September. The overall figures include 45% who are Very Angry, also a nine-point increase since September.
Just 19% now say they're not very or not at all angry at the government's policies, down eight points from the previous survey and down 11 from September. That 19% includes only eight percent (8%) who say they're not angry at all and 11% who are not very angry.
This certainly tells me a great deal about the American electorate's ability to have emotions about vaguely concerning things. Next up, a poll on whether people think that fun is entertaining.

Nakheel expands retail portfolio with 620,000 sqm Deira Islands Mall
Nakheel will construct a 620,000 square metre retail, dining and entertainment hub at Deira Islands, its new 15.3 square kilometre waterfront destination development in Dubai as part of its retail expansion strategy, the developer has announced.
Nakheel has awarded a contract for nearly AED40 million to RSP Architects, Planners and Engineers as the design and supervision consultant for Deira Islands Mall, which will have over 200,000 sqm of leasable space, hundreds of shops, cinemas and a wide variety of cafes and restaurants. RSP is also the appointed design consultant for Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah.
Deira Islands Mall, one of a host of attractions planned by Nakheel at the new coastal development, is the latest addition to Nakheel's growing retail project portfolio. Others include Nakheel Mall, Dragon Mart, Ibn Battuta, two major malls at Jumeirah Village and neighbourhood shopping centres at several Nakheel communities.
Deira Islands will add 40km, including 21km of beachfront to Dubai's coastline and pave the way for hundreds of tourism, leisure and residential developments including hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, mixed-use buildings and waterside homes. Ninety four first-phase hotel plots launched by Nakheel in March 2014 received a healthy response from investors.
Earlier this month, Nakheel launched the tender for the design and construction of nine beaches on two of the four Deira Islands, and in April the developer awarded contracts worth over Dhs47 million to US-based AE7 for infrastructure design and architectural and engineering services at the project.
Deira Islands Mall will be complemented by a diverse range of other attractions – all developed by Nakheel – at the new waterfront city, including a night market, hotel, amphitheatre for 30,000 people and a marina big enough to accommodate large yachts.

This was actually just a battle between two sexy female magicians, everything else was sort of unnecessary. I realize female comic book characters are often sexy, but could they have not toned it down slightly for an Early Ready/Picture book!? There is one close up barely contained chest shot! UGH! Plus it irked me that these all powerful magicians were just minion's of the non-magical penguin and batman. This one is going in the trash.

Head To Head: Blackburn Rovers v Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest travel to Blackburn on New Year's day, in search of their first victory at Ewood Park since 1999 and their first win under new manager Alex McLeish.
Like Forest, Rovers relieved their manager from his duties last week, but unlike the Reds', they are yet to install a new boss. The Lancashire club however, have gone on record saying they hope to have a new man in charge before this game.
As mentioned above, Forest haven't won on Rovers turf since 1999, when goals from Dougie Freedman and Chris Bart-Williams secured the points in a 2-1 win.
There have been a total of 97 meetings in the league between the two clubs and Forest have won 29, lost 43 and drawn 25. In the game at the City Ground back in October, the sides battled it out for a 0-0 draw.

Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills elects its first Wildrose MLA
Tuesday, Apr 24, 2012 06:00 am
For the first time in 15 years, the provincial Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills constituency will be represented by a member of the legislative assembly from a party other than the Progressive Conservative Party.
With the ballots from 76 out of 78 polling stations counted, the Wildrose Party�s Bruce Rowe was in the lead with 9,302 votes, with Progressive Conservative Darcy Davis coming in second with 6,010 votes.
NDP�s Kristie Krezanoski was slightly ahead of Liberal Garth Davis, 537 to Davis�s 505.
Rowe says he is ready to go to Edmonton and be the Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills MLA.
"We are pretty ecstatic. My team did a wonderful job and as a result of that, here I am,� said Rowe after a speech in front of supporters last night.
Since its formation in 1997 from the merging of parts of the Olds-Didsbury and Three Hills-Airdrie constituencies, the Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills Consituency has been represented by PC MLA Richard Marz.
Marz announced his retirement last year and resigned from the posting prior to the election being called March 26.
Provincially, the Tories won a majority government beating out close contender the Wildrose Party. By 11 p.m. last night the Tories were leading in 62 electoral divisions, the Wildrose in 17, while the NDP and Liberals were leading in four divisions each.
Rowe said that PC candidate Darcy Davis had been his closest competitor.
�They�re the sitting government,� he said.
�It�s always tougher to beat the incumbents.�
Rowe said Davis ran an excellent campaign.
�We had agreed before we started this, between the two of us campaigns, we agreed that we would run a clean, upfront campaign,� he said.
�That has held true.�
PC candidate Darcy Davis conceded that voters in the riding switched their allegiance to the Wildrose.
�People in the riding of Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills have spoken and they�ve shown they�ve voted for change as far as party goes,� said Davis.
Despite conceding defeat, Davis said he ran a good campaign. He said people expressed concern about the proposed power line going through Central Alberta, among other issues.
�I think it went fine. We had a lot of people working really hard. I think there�s just a lot of contentious issues that people wanted to see change on,� he said.
Despite losing the riding, Davis said he was happy that the party would retain its majority.
�I think it�s great that Alison (Redford) will be the premier. I think she�ll keep the province moving into the future and I think that�s a good thing,� he said.
The Liberal candidate for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills said it was "no surprise that the Wildrose and PCs ran such a close race."
"My eyes were wide open," said Garth Davis. "I expected this. It makes for interesting Alberta politics."
Garth Davis was scrutineering at Calgary-Hawkwood at 9 p.m. on election night.
He explained that his goals going into the election included making the public aware of the problems with the PCs and the risks with the Wildrose. "I thought I would give the voters an alternative choice," he said.
He added that he wouldn't be running again. "I ran a couple of times in Innisfail, in the past," he said.
"The PC philosophy is still very strong," Garth Davis said. "This election is going to be what I thought it would be."

All by myself....hurrah!
Kuala Lumpur Travel Blog› entry 25 of 49 › view all entries
Tour over, I'm now back in Kuala Lumpur. We have our final goodbye meal tonight then tomorrow I'm returning to backpacker-town (street full of hostels) for 5 nights of relaxation. Might fit in a trip to the Batu Caves and a day at the Menara tower (best views of KL) but thats the sum total of my plans for the next five days. Its quite tiring moving yourself from place to place every couple of days, even if it is all organised.
The tour was pretty good, I was a bit disappointed by Teman Negara as I didn't see much wildlife but the Lonely Planet actually says you won't see much because the jungle is too dense, so perhaps I ought to have read that bit beforehand! I loved the Perhentians and we also visited a couple of towns which is something I might not have bothered with had I been on my own.
The last two nights we've been at a homestay on an island in a lake near Kuala Kangsar. It was idyllic. The water was completely calm, reflecting the cloud and surrounding mountains, all you could hear were birds and geckos and we were fed like kings with Malaysian home-cooking 3 times a day. I could have stayed there quite a bit longer, it was thoroughly relaxing. I feel like I ought to have a bit more to say about the last two weeks really but its been a bit of a whirlwind and I was kept awake by snoring last night so I'm not much in the mood for lengthy descriptions. I'll just add that Malaysia is great, all the different cultures blend together harmoniously, the scenery is stunning, the people are lovely and I'm already sad I'll be leaving in a few weeks.

John Goodspeed: LaRue's happy to be back in Texas
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, April 8, 2010
Stoney LaRue was born in Taft, but he cut his teeth on Red Dirt music in Oklahoma and returned to the Lone Star State to take the Texas Music scene by storm.
With a gritty mix of country and rock with stories about love and hard knocks, he will return Friday night to John T. Floore Country Store, with Seth James opening.
While he stakes his claim in both states with songs such as "Red Dirt Girls" and "Texas Moon," he is especially fond of his home state.
After a tour through the South, he played a gig in San Angelo last weekend and tweeted, "I've been missin' Texas. It haunts my thoughts when I'm away."

Expatriates were glad to see him, though, especially a Texas guy now living in Tampa, Fla., who drove eight hours to catch a show in Atlanta.
Calling himself Blam-o, he wrote on the Galleywinter.com forum, "Really, it was just great to see Stoney again. ... Seeing Stoney only makes you realize that Okies can kick your ass just as good if not better than anyone else out there."
Musically speaking, of course.
?Saturday at Floore's, chainsaw artist/humorist/singer/songwriter Doug Moreland will bring his unique take on western swing. While he writes songs that would make Bob Wills proud, he also takes a more loopy approach on tunes such as "The Beer Song," where he adds a foamy head to the standard "I've Been Everywhere."
?Another group that is happy to return to Texas — and especially its hometown of San Antonio — is the "countrybilly" quintet Two Tons of Steel, which will be at Sam's Burger Joint on Saturday night with rockabilly queen Rosie Flores opening.
"It's good to get home," front man Kevin Geil said after a 12-day jaunt in support of the CD "Not That Lucky" that took them through Minneapolis; St. Louis; Chicago; Des Moines; Kansas City, Mo.; Tulsa; Little Rock; and Shreveport.
?Junior Brown, another guy with equal doses of talent and humor, will hit Gruene Hall on Saturday night. With a voice like Ernest Tubb and his "guitsteel" — a combination of guitar and steel guitar — Brown will rev up fans with favorites such as "Highway Patrol" and "My Wife Thinks You're Dead."
Speaking of wives, his — Tanya Rae — will be by his side on rhythm guitar and backup vocals.
?At a free show at 1 p.m. Saturday at Gruene Hall, the Stone River Boys will bring roots country in the vein of the Hacienda Brothers, who broke up after the death of Chris Gaffney. Dave Gonzalez kept the sound going with the new band, which includes vocalist/guitarist Mike Barfield.

Skip to comments.As Dutch churches shut, sacred art finds new use abroad
Posted on 05/03/2012 3:39:50 PM PDT by NYer
S-HERTOGENBOSCH, Netherlands (Reuters) - When Christianity fades, it doesn't just leave empty pews behind. With each church that shuts, the statues, crucifixes, chalices, paintings or vestments that were part of regular Sunday services suddenly have no liturgical home.
In the Netherlands, where faith has faded more dramatically than in many other parts of Europe, two churches close down on average every week. The sacred art left over is piling up in cellars and storerooms around the country.
Some congregations elsewhere have the opposite problem. New Catholic and Protestant churches are springing up in Latin America, Africa and Asia, and pastors in eastern Europe are seeking to refurbish churches used for decades as warehouses or factories.
A pioneering network of Dutch religious art experts, concerned by the accumulation of objects with both artistic and spiritual significance, has been struggling to match some of their supply to this new demand.
Thanks to their work, a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Dominican Republic now boasts a marble altar from a church in Eindhoven that is being turned into a health centre.
Another Catholic church slated to become a municipal library and theatre has donated pews, statues and crucifixes to a church in Lviv, Ukraine, that was used as a gas mask factory during the communist era. A Dutch Reformed church has donated a silver communion set to a Protestant parish in Romania.
"If we have something we can't use, there is nothing better than to know it is being used in another church," said Rev Martien Mesch, who has sent truckloads of surplus items to Ukraine from two Catholic churches he had to close down in the town of Vught, near the southern Dutch city of s-Hertogenbosch.

Sad to see Europe piss away their Christian birthright without even a fight.
There WAS a fight: Satan was the general, Euro-trash were his soldiers. Tools: promiscuity, pornography, divorce, out-of-wedlock births, glorification of sex, especially out-of-marriage sex, money, power, stuff, glory of self.
However, it IS sad, very sad, to see said Christian birthright THROWN away.
It WILL come back, especially when people, one person at a time, realizes the empty promises of Satan and his earthly minions. People will wake up one morning and...PRAY for that birthright. We aren't more (or less) evil, happy, smart or sad than we were 10,000 years ago,
There ARE 6 billion of us now (and counting) so it seems that there is more sin, but the percentage is still the same ole story.
You KNOW, nothing has changed since Adam and Eve. There are still good folks, who sin and bad folks who keep sinning and sometimes repent.
There's two things I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures...and the Dutch!
Some of those traditional vestments are beautiful. The Church(s) where we attend the Traditional Latin Mass right here in the USA could probably use some of those. It might be interesting for our Priest to get in touch with them, and obtain a copy of the English language version of their catalog. I think I will mention this to him...
Hey, Europe, you are like someone sitting in a tree. The things you like—your freedom, your prosperity, your art—are like the beautiful leaves in front of you. The Judeo-Christian tradition is the trunk of the tree. Keep that in mind.
There is an irony to this. Amsterdam is known for what used to be legal drugs and prostitution. However, it is also a hotbed for religious missionaries. I have no idea why, but the place is a magnet for them.
The space is needed in order to make room for all the new Victory Mosques.
That's good. Amsterdam needs missionaries. I've also read that in rural Holland, there is more conservative vestiges of their Dutch Reformed past.
I think that much of the popular rejection of religion in Europe can be laid at the feet of the bad idea of combining religion and government.
For a long time, government and religious leaders thought it was a great idea, both expanding the power of government and the church into the lives of people. Yet from the people's point of view, the only thing worse than a bureaucrat was a priest-bureaucrat.
It really soured people on the whole idea of religion.
A lot of the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution was based in rejection of this nasty church-state business in favor of democracy. I like to point out that "We the people..." is a rejection of the European "We are kings and princes because God wants us to be and ordained us as such. If you reject that, you reject God."
Europe still has a lot of this "nobility-elitism" attitude, and Americans for the most part still sneer at it.
-—I think that much of the popular rejection of religion in Europe can be laid at the feet of the bad idea of combining religion and government.-—
The European "combination of religion and government" worked pretty well in supporting religious faith for about 1800 years, so, identifying it as a cause of religious decline is dubious, especially in consideration of the fact that the past 200 years of religious decline in Europe correspond to the ascendancy of secular government.
In broad outline, Europe descended from Catholic kingdoms to to kingdoms including those which supported Luther's doctrine of the private interpretation of Scripure. This necessarily increased the power and jurisdiction of the State, since the status of the Church had been diminished.
This seed of anti-authoritarianism grew, and its first fruit was free-thinking Rationalism.
From there, the rate of cultural decline increased through the atheistic philosophies of the 1800s. To fill the vacuum created by the eclipse of the natural law as a basis of law, the all-powerful State came into view, reaching full-flower in the nightmare of the 20th century.
-—However, it IS sad, very sad, to see said Christian birthright THROWN away.——
It gives me pause when I consider what C.S. Lewis predicted about a post-Christian Europe —that it would be worse than pre-Christian pagan Europe, since the pagans were ignorant of Christ, while the post-Christians have rejected Him.
It was to this latter 200 years I was referring. Before then, royalty and government were affirmed and authorized by the church, but it was the change in this relationship, that royalty and government was the *source* of religion, was where things went south.
The nobility no longer wanted to obey religious authority, they wanted religion to obey their authority. Mostly by not standing in the way of their princely ambitions. It was a long process, most identified with "state religions". From that point, as royalty declined, it dragged its state religions with it.
Here are some OLD vestments:
This one dates from around 1480.
The older the better as far as I'm concerned. :-D
