Articles like the one I'm referencing below demonstrate why there are still bubble home prices in certain areas. This particular article also shows how poorly people manage their own finances, and does a good job showing how much the country's people are still relying on inexpensive and easy to obtain debt.
The article is called "The Financial Fix" (that ought to be in quotes, btw, because it is anything but a "fix" that this advisor gives them) that appears in Money Magazine, September 2011 issue, Page 42.
Where do I start??
This 31- and 32-year-old couple are $783,000 in debt! The debt is made up of a mortgage on a townhouse, a mortgage on a condo, plus car and student loans. First off, that is a terrible position to be in. They are in way, way over their heads. But it gets worse.
The wife is expecting their first child so they only have the husband's $93,000 / year income. They say they are "barely breaking even on [his] salary"...uhm, no, you are not breaking even at all. You are losing ground (to debt and financial slavery), and fast. If they could apply all $93k of his income toward all their debt, it would still take them 8.41 years to pay it all off! OMG. That's atrocious.
"They decided to keep their old condo as an investment, but so far it's been a cash drain." Silly people, you ought to stick to consulting or whatever it is that you do. "Real estate" as an investment is often highly overrated, as the returns on residential real estate have, on average over long periods of time, only barely beaten inflation.
What are you doing buying a $410,000 townhouse in Leesburg, Virginia? Anywhere in Virginia, for that matter? That's bubble pricing if I've ever heard it. Making matters worse is that they still own a mortgage on a condo. Why does a young, white collar dual income (previously) no kids couple have to buy a townhouse or condo in Virginia? Because we are still in a significant housing bubble in multiple areas of the country...and Leesburg, Virginia is definitely one of them.
These articles never fail to count "home equity" under the "Assets" section of peoples' financial situation. It says this couple has $66,000 in home equity. Bwah, ha, ha. Sure, right. Did you get those figures from Zillow? Or better yet a local realtor? Are you factoring in selling costs to liquidate all of that "equity"? Of course not. A quick off-the-cuff guess is that they are sitting on about half that much "equity."
If the tenant skips out on paying them rent, the article tells how the young, naive couple will be on the hook for mortgage payments totaling 42% of their income (!!!), not factoring in maintenance and repairs. Gulp!! Gasp. That's a mighty scary position you are putting your family in, sonny. And btw, I'd definitely factor in maintenance and repairs.
These young kids are financially screwed because they are trying to live "the American Dream" that someone else told them they should. Why do you have to have a kid if you cannot afford it? Parenting magazine just quoted a new study saying that the typical cost to raise a child to age 18 is approximately $190,000. This couple is already in a financial hurt locker, and now they are adding a newborn child to the picture. Wanna bet that they'll "have to" have a second child? I've seen it too often.
And why did they have to buy a house? (a condo) And then another house? (a townhouse) This is a great example of the real estate pathology that many people still have today.
Since the "financial advisor" gave them terrible advice (let me guess, the financial advisor also thinks real estate is a good investment? And has hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to her name, too? That would explain the horrendous advice to this young couple), allow me to intervene further by offering some sound financial advice for them:
1. Sell your new townhouse immediately
2. Sell your condo concurrently
3. Sell your car / cars and pay off the loans immediately
4. Use any remaining "equity" funds from above sales to pay off any and all debt
5. Rent a nice apartment or home for a couple of years
6. Buy a conservative used car with cash
That's really only a beginning but still much better than the article offered for them.

"Light My Fire" was one of the first songs ever written by Robby Krieger, and his extended solo on the album version was also one of his shining moments as a guitarist.
Ironically, however, in order for "Light My Fire" to become a hit for the Doors and Krieger the songwriter, Krieger the guitarist had to swallow his pride and allow his masterly two-and-a-half-minute solo to be trimmed down to its essential opening and closing themes for use on the single.
"That always bothered me," Krieger readily admits. "We never wanted to cut it, but our first single, 'Break On Through,' flopped and radio stations told us that 'Light My Fire' would be a hit if we cut it down. We didn't have much choice because AM radio ruled everything, and if you wanted to get on AM you had to have a short song."
The longer solo now regularly broadcast on the radio in its entirety, is a perfect distillation of Krieger's style. A flamenco-trained guitarist who played with his fingers and often evoked sitar-like Eastern sounds, with his Gibson SG, Krieger pulled out all the stops on "Light My Fire."
Still, the guitarist says that the complete version on the album is far from his finest effort. "It was the kind of solo that I usually did, but it was different every night. To be honest, the one on the album is not one of my better takes. I only had two tries at it. But it's not bad; I'm glad that it was as good as it was."

Numbers were so large this year that the Camp was split into 3 groups. Even so, there wasn't time to cover all the questions. The focus of the 2 training days for all the groups was firmly on practising snow park, pipe and also border cross shaping. The participants from all over the world created a great mix and a lively cultural exchange. The shapers from Azerbaijan and the USA had definitely travelled the farthest.
Everyone was unanimously impressed by the great organisation of the PistenBully Professional's Camp effected by Wolfgang Lutz from Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG and Reto Sporrer, who is very experienced and has been a partner of Kässbohrer with regard to fun park construction and knowledge transfer for many years. The preparation team of Markus Moser worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support the event in Corvatsch.
Like the participants, the team of coaches was also international. Some highlights: John Melville from New Zealand, who will be preparing the pipes for the Olympic Games in Sochi.
Alongside two PistenBully 400 Park and a PistenBully 600 Park, participants also had a PistenBully 600 W, a PistenBully 400 W and a PistenBully 300 with attached PipeMagician at their disposal for park element design. The PistenBully 100 SCR was also able to prove its worth at an altitude of 3,000 m.
Also a star of the Camp this year: the PistenBully 600 E+. The first PistenBully with diesel-electric drive naturally attracted a lot of interest.
Good organisation, a superior programme and an extremely high level of practical events. As usual the PistenBully Professionals' Camp was an attractive combination of advice, training, lots of information and communication. These are the success factors of the PistenBully Professional's Camp, which will not easily be forgotten by the impressed participants. A successful end to the season!
You can view some highlights of the PistenBully Professional's Camp 2013 on the PistenBully YouTube channel.

Civil rights activists in Fort Lauderdale challenged de facto segregation with a series of "wade-in" demonstrations in the summer of 1961.
Segregation impacted all aspects of daily life for African-Americans during the Jim Crow era. From movie theaters and lunch counters to swimming pools and beaches, state and local governments across the United States enforced laws predicated on the "separate but equal" clause established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
Civil rights activists challenged legal and de facto segregation using non-violent strategies championed by organizations such as the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). One particularly Floridian method used by demonstrators was the "wade-in."
The photograph above shows activists participating in a wade-in demonstration at a Fort Lauderdale beach on July 24, 1961. The wade-ins, which lasted six weeks, helped end de facto segregation at all Broward County's beaches. A state court judge refused to enter an injunction against the NAACP stopping the wade-ins a year after they began.
To learn more, see William G. Crawford Jr., "The Long Hard Fight for Equal Rights: A History of Broward County's Colored Beach and the Fort Lauderdale Beach 'Wade-ins' of the Summer of 1961," Tequesta 67 (2007): 19-51.

Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon.
The NFL playoffs are a bittersweet time for fans such as myself. Nothing beats a good playoff game, but I know in the back of my mind that this 2007 season is now officially living on borrowed time. It won't be long now before football is gone once again, and I am left alone, bereft, with only a wife, a daughter, and an extended network of family and friends to comfort me. And that blows.
There are now only 11 games left in the NFL season. Spread out over a period of five weeks. That ain't many. Just last weekend, there were sixteen games going on all over the place. Now there are just over half that many left to go. And, if one of them sucks, I can't go flipping around to find a better one. I'm stuck with that shitty Titans-Chargers game, and there's nothing I can do about it. It almost seems unfair.
Seasons tend to go by faster in my old age. I swear it was just days ago that Charlie Frye was the Browns starting quarterback, or that the Chargers were in complete disarray, or that Brett Favre's gin-soaked body was blissfully decaying before my very eyes. These days, it feels like Week 1 becomes Week 16 in a relative snap. It gets me thinking that there are a finite number of NFL seasons in my lifetime, and that they are flying by faster than I can keep up with them. And that makes me want to drink. Heavily.
I remember watching the World Series one year. And, after the Series had ended, I heard Pat O'Brien whisper to the audience in the post-game show, "Bad news, baseball fans: baseball season is over." And I remember thinking, "About fucking time. They play 5,000,000 baseball games a year." Not so with the NFL. You only get that shit once a week for a handful of months. And then it's gone. Baseball, by comparison, hangs around like a goddamn plantar wart.
That's why I feel compelled to treat each of these remaining 11 games with great care. To cherish them before they pass by. These are your last games of the year. Savor them, my friends. Savor them like a warm glass of Haffenreffer Private Stock. It's playoff time, bitches!
Playoff Game Picks and Predictions
All games in the Jamboroo are evaluated for sheer watchability on a scale of 1 to 5 Throwgasms. And I'm boldly forging ahead and making picks and predicting EXACTLY what will occur.
Five Throwgasms
Jaguars 28, Steelers 10. Najeh Davenport learns how to metaphorically shit the bed. Big Ben's partially functional nervous system causes him to begin uncontrollably dropping the ball without warning or provocation. Christmas Ape doesn't speak to me for the entire offseason.
Four Throwgasms
Seahawks 31, Redskins 10. They lose by 21! It's a sign from above!
Three Throwgasms
Bucs 24, Giants 16 Underrated Bucs defense helps Eli Manning feel like his old self again. Tom Coughlin blames all his players and you, yes you, the reader, for the loss. Jeff Garcia declares in the post-game show that his teammates all call him Pegboy.
Two Throwgasms
Chargers 37, Titans 3 Norv Turner savors his last playoff victory as a head coach. Chargers GM AJ Smith spends new extension money to build a four-star luxury villa inside his own ass, where he takes up permanent residence. Vince Young dramatically clenches a body part and grimaces.
Playoff Pick Record: 0-0
Pregame Song That Makes Me Want To Run Through A Goddamn Brick Wall
"Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More. Thanks to "Epic," FNM is largely credited with creating the whole rap-rock movement, something I'm quite sure they would like to take back. It's an odd designation, since FNM was such an underrated and wonderfully odd band. You haven't lived until you've listened to Angel Dust WHILE on Angel Dust. Bonus points in this video for the drawing and quartering.
FNM lead singer Mike Patton is a huge fan of menstruation. HUGE fan. Not only is it mentioned in the chorus of "Midlife Crisis," he even wrote a whole song about with his other band, Mr. Bungle. The name of that song? You guessed it. "Bloody Mary. Lyrics, please!
One day God had to get off his ass
He had to walk to the kitchen and get his own glass
To this glass he had to pour his own booze
For this, his woman had to pay the dues
Now all women must pay this terrible bill
That arrives every month against their will
A crescent hang over, half-irritated smirk
Full migraine cramps, and Maxi-pads don't work!
That's so wrong, it's right.
Embarassing Cassingle I Once Owned That Will Not Fire You Up
"The Ballad Of Jayne," by LA Guns. LA Guns guitarist Tracii Guns (The extra I is for Intriguing!) was an original member of Guns 'N' Roses (formed by the merging of LA Guns with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin's band, Hollywood Rose). But Guns quickly quit the band because he hated Axl and formed a new LA Guns to record this song. Holy shit, did you make a mistake, Tracii. Surely it was worth enduring the occasional broken bottle attack from Axl to stick around for some sick, sick "Appetite" royalties.
"The Ballad Of Jayne" was written as a tribute to Jayne Mansfield (link NSFW - Yay, old porn!). But you won't find Mansfield and her extremely large breasts anywhere in the video for this song. Instead you will find a band that kind of looks like Motley Crue but is not Motley Crue playing by a very large pool. You'll also find lead singer Phil Lewis rocking that must-have fashion accessory of the late 80's, the oversized top hat. If you're wearing an oversized top hat, and your name is not Saul Hudson, you are a fucking douche.
More stuff worth pointing out here. The bass player is wearing gloves WHILE he plays the bass. I always thought the bass was the most unchallenging instrument to play, and now I have proof. Also here: Tracii Guns rocking Chrissy Hynde's bangs, and smoking throughout the entire video. Smoking on the set? That guy don't give a fuck about nothin'! (swoons)
Fantasy Player That Deserves To Die A Slow, Painful Death
The fantasy season's over, so throughout the playoffs we'll be highlighting one player from each week who's egregious fuckups cost his team the win. For Week 17, that player is Troy Williamson for the Vikings. Fuck you, Troy Williamson. You fucking suck. I'm surprised you can hold onto your toothbrush while brushing your teeth in the morning. I'm surprised you can eat a bite of food without it falling right into your lap. You fuck. I hope the next thing you catch is gonorrhea. And that you don't drop it.
Five Potential Key Injuries
• Jeff Garcia (back)
• Vince Young (hangnail)
• Eli Manning (advanced erraticism)
• Shaun Alexander (Denver Boot around leg)
• Philip Rivers (grief after discovering Nantucket red shorts are missing from locker)
Actual Wild Card Of The Week
Each week until all Wild Card teams are eliminated, I'll be picking an actual Wild Card of the week. This week's is George "The Animal" Steele.
My goodness, he certainly is unorthodox!
Suicide Pick Roundup
Last week's suicide pool pick of Tampa Bay was incorrect. Off the board now are Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Baltimore, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, New Orleans, San Diego, Cleveland, Washington, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Green Bay and New England. Final record for the year: 10-7. Jesus, that is fucking awful. I said it before, but it bears repeating: Betting in suicide pools is dumb.
No more suicide picks for this year. But I shall leave you with one final way to commit suicide, and that is to close your garage door and leave the engine running. Does this actually work? If so, I'd totally pick this as my way of committing suicide. Carbon monoxide poisoning is an insidious way of dying. You don't even know you're dying. You just nod right off, and BOOM! You're off to meet Gandhi and Dorothy Stratton. Nice. Sounds quick and painless to me. I may try it this weekend, just for fun.
Gametime Snack Of The Week
The classic Chicken Finger Sub. I ordered enough chicken finger subs in college to support the entire Maine economy for two full decades. And I never ate them for a meal. No, no, no. The chicken finger sub was deployed strictly as a between-meal hold-me-over. It's not like I didn't take advantage of the school dining facilities. I did. Often. And it's not as if I didn't eat enough while at the dining hall. It was always all-you-can-eat. They never pulled a Frying Dutchman on me. And yet, I'd inevitably get back to the dorm and have this conversation with my roommate:
ME: What do you want to do?
ROOMMATE: I dunno. Wanna order?
Every college student has their staple go-to food. For some, it's the steak and cheese sub. For others, it's a sausage calzone. College students are very much creatures of habit. Once they settle into a groove with one item on Romeo And Juliet's Pizza And Subs (or whatever your pizza/sub place is called) menu, they stick with it. I was no different. The beauty of the chicken finger sub is that it combines the appeal of a "basket" appetizer with the substantive qualities of a really fucking large sandwich. I was not above ordering one, finishing it, and then immediately ordering another. The delivery guy looks at you real funny when you do that.
Gametime Cheap Beer Of The Week
Natural Light. You'll notice that there's a Natural Light beer and a Natural Ice beer (which really does taste like it's had ice melted directly into it), but there is no regular Natural Beer. Perhaps there is a legal reason behind this. Perhaps the ATF requires that Anheuser Busch place a word directly between "natural" and "beer," because I can't think of any LESS natural beer than Natural Light.
For you 12-year-olds reading out there (and Sitemeter indicates that you comprise 98 percent of the reading audience for this column), Natural Light (or Beast) is likely to be the very first beer that you get drunk off of. There are two main reasons for this. One: Natural Light is cheap, and the sibling/senior who is nice enough to get you beer isn't gonna waste good beer on you. The second reason is that businesses that sell Natural Light are 85 percent more likely to employ a person who is unable to read the letters or numerals on a person's ID. As long as you have a shiny hologram on that thing, you should be all set.
Wondering how many beers it takes to get you drunk the first time? I'm glad you asked. When I was a freshman in Minnesota, I got a ride home with a senior from swim practice. If you were wondering what I might have looked like in a Speedo back then, here is a visual indicator:
If there had been rosemary in the pool, I would have been delicious. But I digress: The senior told me I should get drunk some time.
ME: But how many beers does that take?
SENIOR: You? Two beers. Tops.
I was insulted by this assessment. I was a big guy. A really, really, big guy. Very sturdy. Very hefty. Surely I could hold out longer than that. A couple weeks later, I was at my first house party with booze. My friend had managed to get his brother to buy a Coors Light Party Ball for the house. The Party Ball was invented specifically for teenagers too poor to afford a quarter barrel. It was basically a goldfish bowl with a tap. Anyway, this was my opportunity to show everyone I could hold my liquor. After two sips, I was buzzed. After half a cup, I was drunk. After two beers, I was fucking shithoused. I ended up whipping my cock out in front of a girl named Cindy and then threw up onto my cock. I call that move the Traditional English Trifle Cock. Your first drinking experience will likely produce similar results.
For you ladies out there planning on drinking Natural Light, I strongly suggest you put your hair in a ponytail for the evening.
(Ed. Note: Any mention of Natural Light requires a link to this picture of Bryan Leitch.)
Sunday Afternoon Movie Of The Week For Dolphins Fans
The Godfather. Let us take a moment to reflect on Kay Adams, the single most gullible chick in the history of cinema. I'd like to talk about two moments in particular. The first is when Kay and Michael are hanging out at Connie's wedding, and Kay asks about Luca Brasi. Michael then tells her this charming little anecdote:
"Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him that either his brains, or his signature, would be on the contract. That's a true story."
Okay, well that's rather alarming. Shouldn't you be heading for the exits right about now, Kay?
"That's my family, Kay. It's not me."
Oh well, that's reassuring! You see, Kay, only my FAMILY are murderous thugs. I just happen to share their blood, and therefore many of their characteristics. I'm also extremely close to them. No chance I'll end up just like them!
Fast forward to the scene where Michael, fresh off of returning from Sicily, sneaks up on Kay in the park. And Kay is all like, "Where the fuck have you been? I called and wrote and shit!" Then Michael springs this one on her:
"I mean in five years, the Corleone Family is going to be completely legitimate. Trust me. That's all I can tell you about my business."
Okay, so maybe my family is still garroting people and shooting politicians in the head. But I swear, in FIVE GODDAMN years, we totally will stop doing it cold turkey. That's all I can tell you, sweetheart. Don't go asking me any more than that, or you'll taste the back of my hand. But trust me! I'm good for it!
And what does Kay do after this? She drops everything and gets in the fucking car with him! Are you shitting me, girlfriend? Are you really falling for that, "I came here because I need you. Because I care for you" shit? Listen ladies: when a stoic ex-boyfriend of yours who works for a notorious Sicilian crime syndicate disappears for a year, right after a police chief and gang leader have been slain, without so much as a phone call, then shows up out of the fucking blue one day, won't tell you anything about what happened, and claims he wants to marry you and bear his kids, FUCKING SLEEP ON IT.
What a dumbass. Great flick, though.
Gratuitous Simpsons Quote
"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield, or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And, as you go forth today, remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you."
Halftime Masturbation Kit
• For the guys: A classic Britney Spears photo from an old Esquire magazine shoot. Yes, she's been completely ruined now, and they probably had to Photoshop out 30 extra pounds, 4,000 cellulite dimples and 12 assorted mustard stains from this photo. But when you put a woman in a white sweater and white pumps and nothing else, my peepee can phase all that out. It has a tremendous ability to focus when surrounded by distraction. I could masturbate in the middle of a street riot if necessary.
• For the gals: A shirtless Chris Klein. Chris ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least he withdrew from Katie Holmes before the thetans wafted inside of her.
Blatantly False, ProFootballTalk-Style, Fred Edelstein-esque Rumor Of The Week
WE HEAR... that when the Ravens fired Brian Billick, team brass needed three hours to explain the concept to him.
Your Motivational Pregame Quote for The Weekend
"Who wants it more?"
-The NFL's slogan for the playoffs. I don't get it. Doesn't every team pretty much want it the same? If the Jaguars lose to the Patriots, I'm pretty it's because the Patriots were way fucking better, and not because the Jags out-desired them. And why do you even have to advertise the NFL playoffs? Is playoff game awareness some sort of nagging problem? Annoying.
Enjoy the games, everyone.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Visa stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Visa stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Visa have outperformed the industry in a year's time. The company is gaining from consistent growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Numerous strategic acquisitions and alliances plus technology upgrades and effective marketing have paved the way for long-term growth and a consistent increase in revenues. The acquisition of Visa Europe is a long term growth strategy for the company. Its international business has been expanding and adds diversification benefits. Visa is well-poised to gain from the growing electronic payment processing and a solid brand name. Its strong capital position facilitates business investments. Nevertheless, high client incentives and operating expenses weigh on its operating margins. Adverse foreign exchange volatility imparts instability to the company's earnings." (6/15/2019) 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We maintain our Overweight rating on Visa and raise our 12-month PT to $181 from $160. We like Visa's opportunity to capitalize on the global conversion of cash into credit, international opportunities, and digital payment tailwinds. Visa has a basket of catalysts expanding its TAM including Visa Direct, contactless payments, & B2B to name a few. Results for 2QFY19 earnings were above expectations, and Visa maintained FY19 (ending September 2019) guidance. The company continues to see FX headwinds but sees long term strength. We remain attracted to Visa's dominant position in the global card network market and its strong, recognizable international brand." (4/28/2019) Has Visa been receiving favorable news coverage? Media headlines about V stock have been trending extremely negative recently, InfoTrie Sentiment Analysis reports. The research group identifies negative and positive news coverage by reviewing more than six thousand news and blog sources in real-time.

|Benjamin and Daniel Cayemberg with their Papa, Patrick Cayemberg.
Over the summer I had installed Windows 7 over my crap program, Windows Vista (an evil joke Microsoft put out that should have been labeled as malware considering how it wreaks havoc on everything). I suppose because we tried installing it over top of the old program it took up more space and we had issues with me running out of room on the hard drive. I'll stop trying to be technical, because I can only pretend to understand the headache that was my computer in past months...fixing the technological train wreck was my hubby's job. The point is, after we resuscitated my computer and fixed the space problem I noticed pictures missing.
|Benjamin Cayemberg - Wisconsin, Autumn 2007
All was not lost. I do have a backup on an iomega drive (I do need to back it up more frequently though), so I pulled out the iomega and started transferring files back over to my laptop, and then actually backing up my laptop (not just pictures, but everything). What I realized was that I needed to reorganize my files. I had a good system, but grew neglectful of it. So that's what I spent a few hours of my time doing last Saturday. It felt good too.
So what's my system for sorting my photos? Well, I used to file them by date when I was younger. That's wonderful if you can remember when something happened. I found that through the years I couldn't remember, but I could remember places.
|Daniel Cayemberg - Wisconsin, Autumn 2007
It's a system that works for me. It may not work for everyone. I mean, the bottom line is that you've got to be able to find your stuff. As long as you can find your files, that's what really matters!

YOU THINK... that, after time, you get a solid handle on a place. You think after a few years or decades or a lifetime of knowing a favorite village or town that you can easily name the spot's best-known cuisines and historical figures and important dates. You are, in short, a bit of a know-it-all, but that's a good thing, at least when it comes to the cities we're sweetest on.
AND THEN... something changes up. For example, take Solvang. If you learned that the Danish village, which Time magazine deemed one of the most Christmassy places in America a few years back, planned to build a whole afternoon of its beloved Julefest celebrations around a single treat, you'd guess, with some confidence, that the treat would be the aebleskiver, the pastry most associated with the windmill-bedecked town. Right? Well, not quite. Because Solvang is throwing a tasty to-do, during Julefest, on the afternoon of Saturday, Dec. 14, but...
IT'S S'MORES: Yep, as the name "S'moresFest" would suggest. We'd wryly ask "how'd ya like them apples?" but, of course, s'mores and apples don't have much in common. Rather, Graham crackers, melty chocolate, and sticky marshmallows shall rule the afternoon gathering. You'll roast your own luscious squares in Solvang Park, and there shall be music, and there shall be holiday spirit. Tickets? Ten bucks ahead of the day, fifteen there.
U.S. & World
OKAY... we understand now, Solvang. You're just good at all desserts. We know that. Actually, we knew that before, but, seeing as how easily you can switch between traditional bun-type eats to campfire treats, we must bow before your sugary prowess. You win all the dessert categories, ever.

Well Beau got his new Stillwater collar about a month ago, while I was still in Florida. I just got home not to long ago and snapped a few shots of his new Stillwater Collar!
It's awesome and couldn't have asked for a better collar! I got him the 1.5' 4 ply show collar Black with Blue overlay! And he hasn't escaped it yet!! No more double collaring for Beau!

Kurt Sonnenfeld is charged with shooting his wife to death and Denver prosecutors know exactly where he is living.
But they may never be able to bring him to trial. His fate is being decided more than 4,000 miles away by federal judges in Argentina.
Sonnenfeld, a videographer who recorded recovery efforts at "Ground Zero" after 9/11, was a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Administration when he allegedly killed his wife Nancy, with whom he had been married 10 years, on New Year's Day 2002.
Sonnenfeld traveled to Argentina in 2003 after murder charges against him were filed then dismissed because of insufficient evidence. In Argentina, he fell in love with Paula Duran, married her and has stayed ever since, working as a videographer. The couple has twin daughters.
When Denver authorities filed murder charges against him for a second time the following year and had him arrested, he fought extradition. An Argentina federal judge and the nation's supreme court have rejected Denver's repeated attempts to extradite, citing concern about Colorado's death penalty.
Sonnenfeld wrote a book, which was published in May called "El Perseguido," in which he claims U.S. authorities have hunted him for what he knows about 9/11. He said his wife committed suicide and that he had nothing to do with her shooting.
Sonnenfeld has been quoted as saying that U.S. government operatives conspired with Denver prosecutors to file false murder charges to destroy his credibility, knowing he has evidence U.S. authorities had a hand either in allowing 9/11 to happen or actually participated in the airliner attacks.
Sonnenfeld has many high profile supporters in Argentina including 1980 Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel and leaders of a dozen human rights groups.
In a series of e-mail exchanges, Sonnenfeld did not explain how his videotapes of Trade Center ruins prove U.S. complicity in 9/11, but he did amply rebut evidence presented in an arrest warrant affidavit by Denver homicide detectives.

Parsing customer comments
Swisscom employs text analytics to better understand customer concerns
When cable subscribers call Swisscom to report signal problems from their television screens, the operator quickly narrows down the problem, recommends a fix and describes what actions need to be taken. A customer's email frustrated with service-option confusion can trigger the perfect offer without a marketer even needing to read the email.
The largest telecom provider in Switzerland achieves this rapid response to customer needs because of its investment in SAS® Text Analytics. "With text analytics it is possible, almost simultaneously with the ongoing call center documentation, to show relationships and provide solutions," says Albert Labermeier, Senior Marketing Analyst at Swisscom. Instead of call center employees finding out weeks later that what a customer was describing was related to a bad Wi-Fi connection or a malfunctioning remote control, data is being analyzed daily to match problems to solutions. This arms the call agents with the right answer to the customer's need – the first time.
We are able to create fully automated daily reports, which has a direct positive effect on service quality and customer satisfaction.
Albert Labermeier
Senior Marketing Analyst
Ending a slow, tedious process
Like many organizations with call centers, Swisscom manually documents the customer conversation as it's happening. Historically, that detail was reviewed (manually) at specific intervals. With 10,000 daily incoming service requests, the manual process was simply not effective or productive, overwhelming staff and lacking timeliness – never being completed fast enough to make a difference. The company also had no fast way to know and respond to what customers were saying about the company and its products and services on social media.
Using SAS allows Swisscom to quickly and accurately filter out customer wishes from the noise of unstructured digital data volumes. The technology is deployed throughout the organization, including corporate communications and public relations.
Building on a marketing optimization base
Swisscom already was using SAS® Marketing Optimization to segment and automate marketing messages. By layering the insight from social media conversations with the analysis of call center transcripts and incoming inquiries, a richer picture of customer needs and issues has emerged. Now the company can make even more relevant and customized offers to help retain customers in the increasingly competitive telecom market. In the initial testing of SAS to analyze the unstructured text, the technical and business users worked together to identify keywords and create a dashboard that would deliver real-time information. The results impressed: "It convinced us right from the start," Labermeier says.
But what really impressed the team was how the solution could help pick through diverse descriptions and synonyms and properly categorize them. The analysis needed to not only detect predefined keywords, but also automatically recognize that terms like "ants race," "jolt" or "flicker" are all descriptions of image quality issues. Reports are now sent daily (instead of weekly or monthly), and staff members assign actions to descriptions – whether it is a repair, a replacement or an issue beyond Swisscom's control. "This has a positive effect on service quality and customer satisfaction," adds Labermeier.
Better understand customers and their concerns by automating analysis of call center conversations and social media commentary.
SAS® Text Miner
SAS® Sentiment Analysis
Problems that took weeks to identify and properly train call center staff to anticipate can now be identified in 24 hours. Marketing offers are fine-tuned for customer retention strategies, and call center staff members spend less time on administrative work and more time with customers.

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk spoke Sunday about the timeline for sending a space vehicle to Mars, CNBC reported.
Musk told the audience at the South by Southwest festival held in Austin, Texas, that the milestone for sending a space vehicle to Mars is as early as next year. The venture, announced in 2017, aims to send a cargo mission to the Red Planet by 2022. SpaceX's ultimate objective is to plant the seeds to put a human colony on Mars.
A flight on SpaceX's BFR rocket system could cost in the $5 to $6 million range.
The billionaire told the audience that "we are building the first Mars, or interplanetary ship, and I think well be able to short trips, flights by first half of next year."

Arkansas' revenues above forecast in July
The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration says the state started off its fiscal year above forecast by nearly 2 percent.
The agency said Friday that net available revenue for July totaled $410.2 million - or 1.9 percent above forecast. The total is $6.4 million, or 1.6 percent, above last year's numbers.
Arkansas' fiscal year began July 1.
The agency says July saw mixed results, with a drop in individual income tax but an increase in corporate income tax and sales tax. The agency says the timing of payday can cause some monthly swings in the state's financial results.
According to the department, sales and use tax collections were "encouraging" at 4.5 percent growth over last year. The agency says the sales tax increase includes "high growth" from motor vehicles.

MIAMI - Fresh off a divorce in Chicago, Ozzie Guillen has been reunited with the Florida Marlins and owner Jeffrey Loria.
Guillen tends to speak his mind, while Loria leads the league in managerial changes, but both dismissed predictions about a rocky relationship as way off base.
"When we used to go to the winter meetings together, people went, 'That's a crazy combo,'" Guillen said. "But we know each other."
So there's no reason to anticipate Guillen ruffling feathers?
"I couldn't care less about feathers," Loria said. "I don't have any feathers. And I don't care about him ruffling anybody. Ozzie has his opinions, and he's entitled to them. You know that going in. But Ozzie comes with a great pedigree."
And so the Ozzie era began in Miami. Hours before the Marlins' final game in the stadium they're leaving, they formally introduced Guillen as their manager Wednesday.
"It's a big, big step in my career, a new chapter," Guillen said. "Hopefully I can bring energy, flavor and enthusiasm, but the most important thing is a winning team."
The announcement carried little suspense. Shortly after Guillen resigned Monday as the manager of the White Sox, his website leaked the news that he had agreed to become the Marlins' manager. He agreed Tuesday night to a four-year contract and succeeds 80-year-old Jack McKeon, who is beginning his latest retirement.
The Marlins are staggering to a last-place finish in the NL East. With the team moving to a new ballpark and making a push for more fans and more wins, Loria wanted an experienced manager.
He turned to one of the game's most captivating but unpredictable personalities.
"I think we can turn it around next year," Loria said. "When you have a - for lack of a better word - category five manager, it's going to happen."
The two first met more than 20 years ago at a game in which Guillen played.
"I was sitting in the first row," Loria said, "and he came over to me and started talking, and talking, and talking. And the umpire had to come over and say to him, 'Mr. Guillen, you're up.' "
After Guillen retired and returned home to Venezuela, Loria coaxed him back into baseball as a coach. Guillen was McKeon's third base coach with the Marlins' 2003 World Series championship team, then became the White Sox manager that November.
Guillen led the White Sox to the 2005 World Series title, but his eight-year tenure in Chicago was often stormy and his departure was messy.
Loria, meanwhile, has gone through a succession of managers trying in vain to return to the playoffs. Strong-willed Joe Girardi lasted only one season in 2006, clashed with Loria and others in the organization, and was fired shortly before being chosen NL Manager of the Year.
Guillen will be Loria's fourth skipper since early 2010. Guillen said he hates being second-guessed and knows how to discourage Loria from doing so, since the owner's box is next to the Marlins' dugout.
"I will ask, 'What would you do right now?' before the fact," Guillen said. "I'll say, 'Hey, I'm going to make a move. What do you think?' See what he says. He won't know what to say."
But Loria said he'll continue to be a hands-on owner.
"I'm involved," he said. "I do care. I want to see the fans in this community have a ballclub commensurate with the new stadium. I don't think you can say being involved is a bad thing. In 2003 I put my foot down and said, 'We need a catcher here, and we're going to sign Pudge Rodriguez.' Well, I guess that worked out."
Aside from satisfying the boss, the biggest challenge for Guillen may be to tap the full potential of 2009 NL batting champion Hanley Ramirez, whose effort and attitude have frequently been questioned. Ramirez endured a disappointing, injury-plagued season.
"One thing I guarantee you - he will be back where he was," Guillen said. "Hanley is the biggest piece of the puzzle in this organization, and I've got to make it work. You are going to see a different guy on the field. I guarantee you when you see Hanley in spring training, he is going to have a smile."
Ramirez said that sounded good to him.
"Whatever Ozzie brings to make me better is good for me," Ramirez said. "I still have a lot to prove in this game. He's going to help me tremendously."
The whirlwind sequence of events that took Guillen from Chicago to Miami left his former team a little stunned, White Sox shortstop Omar Vizquel said.
"I don't think he really had time to say bye to everybody the right way," Vizquel said. "I wish he could have had more time to sit down with the players and explaining why. We wish he could have left a little differently, especially the career he had here in Chicago. It was important for this city to give him a nice goodbye. It was kind of sad the way he left."
Speculation has already started about which of Guillen's former players might follow him to Miami. His coaching staff will include Joey Cora, who was the White Sox bench coach. Eduardo Perez will remain as hitting coach, and Randy St. Claire will continue as pitching coach.
The Marlins are leaving the stadium where they've played since their first game in 1993, and will move into the new ballpark near downtown next spring as the Miami Marlins. Guillen's news conference preceded a big ceremony in conjunction with the final game against the Washington Nationals.
"I'm very excited about the new park," Guillen said. "It's pretty nice - wow. I hope the fans will be excited about the new era for the Marlins. They should be excited. I want the fans to go there and say, 'This is a beautiful ballpark, but let's watch the guys play.'"
AP Sports Writer Rick Gano in Chicago contributed to this report.
