Perhaps Why These Press Conferences Are Rare
Bush Gives A Rare Primetime Q&A Session
George W. Bush will certainly be seen in history's eyes as one of America's best-ever presidents, but it may never be clear why he subjects himself to a setting where he's not especially comfortable.
A full primetime press conference doesn't capture W at his best, as he's forced to answer the typically asinine questions, we've all come to expect.
These loaded queries are intended to get Bush to admit he's made some kind of mistake, or that he's contributed to a problem. Fair to ask occasionally, but when he's repeatedly pressed with these loaded questions, one wonders why he agrees to do them at all.
Funny how Americans are radically shifting how they get their news, but guess what? The correspondents in the room are overwhelmingly from the old, stale media, the one the public has largely abandoned.
This pack of increasingly angry and bitter ratings-challenged outcasts would love to have the opportunity to trip Bush up on nearly any issue to create a huge, embarrassing headline. That's more true than ever during primetime hours, it doesn't get better than 8pm, for making a splash.
Can we blame Bush for high petrol prices? Let's give it a whirl. Can we repeat untrue charges against Bolton for all to hear? Sure, we can do that.
If the point was to overcome Democrat naysayers on Social Security reform, then why not incorporate it into an address to the American people? Is it because the networks won't carry it?
Then look for a way around it. Ever hear of the blogosphere, Mr. President?
Update: Screaming Drudge headline says Bush was bumped anyway for the likes of Paris Hilton and Donald Trump.

Sorry to bombard you with Christmas but you know you need to start thinking about it very soon. I had a fantastic week with the Wine Tasting Store I am selling my products at placing a re-order of my Wine Charms because they have sold out!
They also asked me to design a special Christmas range for them so I thought I would give you a peek at what I came up with.............
Since I live in Queenstown and the shop caters for a lot of tourists I decided to make a Kiwiana range to keep things cohesive with my products already in store.
I hope you like them and I will let you know how they are selling. They are also now available from my website along with my other Christmas Decorations.
Happy Christmas Shopping :-)

We've incorporated the patented Cooperman internal tuning system to maintain top performance under all conditions, as well as our removable jingle pin system to allow for alternative combination of jingles.
$375.00 – Natural finish
$423.00 – custom polychrome finish
Cooperman recommends REMO Weatherking head for its bright, highly responsive sound. Weatherking heads may be scuffed to give them a slight surface texture. Alternatively, either REMO Renaissance is available at the same price.

Depth: 2.12 inches (5.4 cm)
Head: REMO Weatherking Clear (standard) or on request REMO Renaissance,

Average Weight: 1.65 lbs (750 grams )
Our Artists Series Riq is a superbly balanced drum with design features that contribute to the players' control of jingle response:
- Larger diameter (9 1/8th) enhances rich doum/drum sonority and accommodates the exploration of non-traditional techniques
- Shallow depth (2 1/8th) facilitates player grip, jingle access, and jingle control, in a full range playing positions
- Aluminum bearing/tuning edge on wood body strengthens bright, articulated tak drum sounds and forward-balances the instrument.
- Hand-hammered brass, bronze, or a combination of brass and bronze, jingles creates a shimmering effect while allowing the percussive drum sound to punch through.
For those who prefer a heavier, more traditional shell, this drum can built thicker, deeper, wider etc.
Also available with custom finishes:

The film
The early-1960s folk music scene of New York is the setting for Inside Llewyn Davis, the latest film from the Coen brothers. Inspired by the memoirs of musician Dave Van Ronk, who was working the bars and coffeehouses of Greenwich Village at the same time as Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg, it follows a week in the life of penniless singer-songwriter Llewyn Davis (played by Oscar Isaac) as he struggles to make his mark in the bitterly cold winter of 1961.
On location
The centre of Manhattan's alternative music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s was MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, where Van Ronk and his contemporaries would perform at venues such as the Gaslight Café and Café Wha? – known as "basket houses" because a basket would be passed around the audience at the end of the night for tips.
The Gaslight, where much of the film's action takes place, is now a basement cocktail bar called simply 116 (116 MacDougal Street), which puts on regular poetry and music nights, though the bohemian spirit that attracted Beat poets such as Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac has long since left the building. Next door, the Café Wha? (115 MacDougal St, cafewha.com), where Dylan made his New York debut, is still a popular music venue but Gerde's Folk City (11 West 4th Street), another venue mentioned in the film, shut down in the 1980s. Scenes set in the Gaslight were filmed on a set in Brooklyn but much of the film was shot on the streets of Manhattan. One venue that required little in the way of artifice to recreate a retro vibe is Caffe Reggio (119 MacDougal St), which has a small cameo in the film as a meeting place for Davis and his friend Jean (played by Carey Mulligan). This neighbourhood coffee shop, which has changed little in appearance since it opened in 1927, is no stranger to the big screen, having featured as a backdrop in The Godfather Part II (1974) and Shaft (1971).
Another instantly recognisable location is Washington Square Park, which, in the late 1950s, was a hub where young folk and bluegrass musicians would gather to perform and share songs. Although it has undergone a facelift in recent years, the square is still a popular hang-out for students from New York University, political activists and buskers, and it hosts its own folk festival in September (facebook.com/wspfolkfestival).
Where to stay
Hotelier and restaurateur Sean MacPherson has cornered the market in hip West Village hang-outs. In 2008 he scored a hit with the opening of the Jane Hotel, a bohemian chic bolt-hole in a former sailors' hotel with some of the best-value rooms in the neighbourhood (113 Jane St, thejanenyc.com; doubles from $225 per night). His new project, the renovated Marlton Hotel, combining Parisian style with impeccable Beatnik credentials (Jack Kerouac penned The Subterraneans and Tristessa while staying here) looks set to be a similar success (5 West 8th Street, marltonhotel.com; doubles from $150).

Design and artwork for Demotional's album Tarassis.
This is the second album cover I've had the pleasure of designing for Swedish metal band Demotional. For Tarassis, I wanted to create a very gloomy and eerie atmosphere of a world that is about to meet its maker. My reflection of the place we humans are about to create. Who wouldnt go crazy living alone in a place this?

Today Mary Astell is known as the first English feminist. In certain respects this title is something of a misnomer. The feminist concerns of Astell's work, including her passionate advocation of female education and vehement condemnation of the inequalities of marriage, had been addressed by earlier women writers such as Bathsua Makin and Anna Van Schurman. Equally, Astell's status as a feminist writer has troubled some critics who struggle to equate her assertion of the rights of women in marriage with her High Tory Anglican principles and her belief in the Divine Right of Kings. Unfortunately, little concrete biographical evidence exists to chronicle Astell's life. Unlike the better known feminist writer and novelist Mary …

While attending our first home football game at MSU this year they announced the promotional event below. I couldn't help but add a "Happiest Moment Of The Game" picture from the 2007 egg bowl. My son and his girlfriend sat and made this poster Thanksgiving night. It was right after Ole Miss got in trouble for some of the players stealing pillows and radios from hotels. Hope you enjoy the picture as much as we enjoyed that game.

An Update On My Dad
First off, I am not wanting a pity party. I seriously doubt many people read my blog since I very seldom have feedback LOL. So this post is for people who have inquired about Dad and to help me through the hurting process. The past couple of days have been really hard for me. It all started on Wednesday (my birthday) when I spoke to my Mom. She said, "let me see if Dad is strong enough to wish you a happy birthday." He got on the phone and said something along the line I better wish you a Happy Birthday as I may not be there for your next one. Dad has been in the hospital 27 nights of the last 43 that is more then half. Alright I passed that part of math LOL. So here you go on the update. It will be long and I apologize in advance.
On August 21st Dad was released from the hospital after an 8 day stay. He had been on antibiotics and they felt he was strong enough to go home. When he got home he continued to run fever. On Tuesday August 26th the fever was still hanging on. Mom put a call into the Dr. and they wanted to see him within the hour. Once they got there they decided to start chemo. He did ok through the chemo sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday he had a reaction in which they counteracted it with Benadryl and was able to continue the chemo. After that session he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. So he has been in the hospital since August 28th.
We arrived there on Friday night August 29th and David (my brother) informed me Dad looked real bad and that he would not be surprised if he did not come home. That night they gave him 2 more pints of blood. Saturday the Dr. came in and said we have good news and bad news. The bad news is that there is bacteria in the blood. The good news is that we know which antibiotics to give. When I saw him Saturday his color looked good but he obviously had no energy and looked really weak.
They have decided to do chemo 1 week and he will be off 3 weeks. They did a biopsy of a spot on his lung, they said that was not a concern as the leukemia was there main concern. They will do chest x-rays daily at this point. He is still running fever and they called a disease specialist to come in yesterday. So you can see things are really hectic now. Mom refuses to leave him alone at night and I know she is really tired.
Now is my time to vent on my feelings so you can know how to pray for me. My prayer has been that Dad will live long enough to allow Paul to get stronger so he can be with me. The main prayer to is that he does not suffer and when the time comes he will die peacefully, I would prefer it happen in his sleep. I pray for my children as they have yet to really experience death, and that God will make me strong to help them through this time. As I sit and read this paragraph I noticed my prayer request was that God will let him live long to allow Paul to get stronger and now that Paul is stronger dad is getting weaker. I spoke to Paul about this last night and he reminded me to pray as Jesus prayed, "Thy will be done." This is hard to say a part of me is stubborn. I pray that when the time comes that I can let go. I know I can let go as I will have to BUT I pray I will be OK. Does that make sense?
Thanks for allowing me to vent and for your continued prayers. Have a great BULLDOG weekend!!!

Happy Birthday ..... To Me
Well as you guessed today is my birthday. Let me take you back a few years to the setting and a cute story. My parents were living in the moutains of Eastern, KY. They were married for 3 years when they had their first child and she was stillborn. They were devastated and dad swore he did not want anymore after the loss. I am glad that 3 years later they decided to have another one. Of course I was that other one. When I was born I weighed 10 lbs and 7 ounces a big - little girl. Mom had big babies and it passed on to me as all 3 of mine weighed more then I weighed. Well anyways during the birthing process I was smashed in the chest and had to be placed in a special area in the nursery. There are two thoughts that come to mind. Imagine the fear my parents went through during this time (after losing their first child) and looking at things now my chest definitely did not have any damage LOL. Well the cute story since Mom stayed in the hospital for almost a week Dad would go work in the coal mines during the day and come visit her at night. YES I was born a Coal Miner's Daughter (Loretta Lynn must have had me in mind when she wrote that song). One night he came to visit and he ask well did anything happen etc... She said, "they came by today for the name on the birth certificate" and Dad said, "well what did you say." She said I named her, "Dender Lynn." Dad said, "you named her Dender Lynn?" I can see him thinking now he said, "Chris (my Mom)I will be back I need to step out for a second." He walked down to the nurses station and said, "I have no idea what my wife was thinking when she gave you the name Dender Lynn but our little girl's name is Karen Elizabeth." I wonder if that is why I stay so confused today? With my Dad being in the hospital today with pneumonia and leukemia I wonder if his mind goes back to many years (HA HA thought I was gonna tell you huh?) ago when he was there for the birth of his little girl. I know my parents will never read this BUT I am so thankful that God blessed them and gave them me and that he has blessed me with them!

An Elsie Funny
Elsie is one of my best friends. We drive to school together 4 days a week. When it gets cooler we hope to start walking to school, from her house of course. Well yesterday after school I dropped by to see her and as we were sitting there the electricity went off. I said,"Elsie I think your electricity just went off". She said, "no joke, you have to be the brightest crayon in the box". No sooner then she said that she turned around to open a can of refried beans and both of us started laughing at the same time BECAUSE without electricity she could not use her electric can opener. There's no hope for the two of us together so we have come to the conclusion since there are not many people like us that we no doubt have to be from the 4 pack of crayons that they give out to kids at Applebees. You all have a great one afterall, TGIF!!!!!!!!

Forrest Gump and Karen Mock ...............
have something in common. Before I even go there let me explain that this post is truly for fun and don't think I am gripping. Since Paul's bypass surgery we have been so health conscious. Paul has lost a total of 20 pounds and I have lost 4. The kids are not very happy with the eating choices but what's the old saying deal with it! We have been so blessed with the outpouring of the community whether it is the athletic department on campus, neighbors or friends. So please don't look at this post as a complaint it just reminds me of how much Bubba Blue from the movie Forrest Gump and I have in common. The meals people have brought over are delicious. I have always enjoyed a good burger and a steak would put a smile on my face anyday. NOW it is chicken, fish and Chicken and chicken. Did I mention chicken? When I think of repeated meals of chicken I think of Bubba Blue when he quoted, " Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." Well when I think of our past meals for the week there is stir fry chicken, honey baked chicken, drunken chicken, chicken salad, and awesome baked chicken from an assistant Trainer and his wife. Dinner tomorrow night is smoked chicken and Tuesday night it is Roasted Chicken. So you see the similarities? Just as Bubba knew how to prepare shrimp before long I will know everyway to prepare chicken LOL. I am not complaining it just amazes me of different ways you can cook chicken. So when I hear someone talk of chicken I can't help but smile, as I know we maybe having that soon. If you have any good chicken recipes sent them my way. Cluck Cluck catch ya later!

Mamma Mia, ....................
here I go again. A couple years back Paul and I went to NYC to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. One of the first things I want to say is WE LOVE NYC. As we are looking at the billboards and such on time square we kept noticing the broadway play Mamma Mia being advertised. Well needless to say we did not go and see it and I regretted it for two years. This past March we made another trip to NYC and guess what I SAW MAMMA MIA. When the play started I turned to Paul and said I know I'm going to love it and you know what I LOVED IT!!! When I heard it was coming out in the movie theaters I could bearly wait.
This past Sunday one of my friends Elsie, her sister, step mother and I went to see it. I was like a kid walking into the theatre. As I walk in singing Dancing Queen, Elsie kept reminding me that I was embarassing her. The man sitting behind us jokingly ask "am I gonna have a problem here with you girls?" I told him at this point I may have to come sit with him as my friend says I am embarrassing her. Well to make a long story short I calmed down for a tad bit (till the movie started). It is hard to sit still when you have memories flooding back to your broadway play and when your enjoying a great flick. Now grant it this is a great chick flick but I saw men in there as well. I have read a few reviews and one person said well there were too many songs. I am thinking DUD it is a broadway musical what do you expect. I am thinking maybe they should have gone to that Batman movie. Now that I mentioned that Batman movie, as I was leaving the theatre I heard 2 young girls in front of me talking as they left the Mamma Mia show. One of them said you know that was so uplifting. The other one said I think I liked it mroe then I did the Batman movie. Of course my thoughts were WOO HOO you girls know your stuff!
I will close with a review I read on the internet concerning Mamma Mia. I would highly recommend you guys go see it! It is a very upbeat, fun great summer flick! Enjoy the review!
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Meryl Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends--practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)--from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from Dancing Queen and S.O.S. to Money, Money, Money and Take a Chance on Me, 'Mamma Mia!' is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

Just wanted to pass information on .........
to new bloggers (sorta like myself). Not to long ago my son jokingly called me a facebook stalker. Before we even go there I have 3 children, I joined facebook a little over 2 years ago when my youngest son had a dear friend to die in a car crash. This is sorta when the stalking came in I used it as a means to see how he was doing. Anyways not to babble occassionally I will say something to one of the kids and that is when they joke with me about reading such and such on facebook. I have had a blog for a couple of years and you can probably count my posts on one hand. I started reading (stalking) different blogs from friends and thought man I can do this. I would love to look at the designs that they had as the backdrop and I could never find out where to get those. Well needless to say I found one through a blog and wanted to pass the site on to others like me. The website is www.pyzam.com. So check it out and tell them Karen sent you (LOL there is not a place to tell them that). Have a good one!

I'm so excited ..............
I got a new washing machine. Paul and Andrew just went and got it for me from Lowe's. Now I know your saying why does that excite you? Our washing machine has been on the brink for weeks. It would wash clothes and all BUT when it would hit the spin cycle it would spill water onto the floor. Now this is no big deal as I would grab beach towels and allow it to soak up the water. The towels would dry out on the clothes line and then I would start all over again. On top of that Lowe's was offering 10% off YEAH. Well we plugged it in and of course I started a load and it is so quiet you can bearly hear it running. I have informed Paul I can do laundry all night long and he should be able to sleep through it. So for the beach towels they are retired hummmmm wonder when I can retire?

Through life we run across
things we just don't understand. I know that no one will read this blog so I am basically going to use it as a diary of my feelings. I went home to Benton, KY this past weekend to surprise my parents especially my Dad for Father's Day. When I left there house I broke down and cried. It took me back to 1981 when I left their house as a newlywed. Part of me then had mixed emotions someone told my Mom at my wedding that she was losing her best friend. That I was moving so far away and things would never be the same. Well that was 27 years ago and things have never changed. When I left this past time I had the same feelings that I was leaving them and going so far away and things would never be the same. Times have changed in 27 years. I look at my parents health and it breaks my heart. My mom use to love to go shopping with me and this time she was not able to. Dad is losing weight he now weighs 150 lbs and stays so tired. His bout with lung cancer surgery and leukemia is taking his toll on him. It breaks my heart to see them go downhill and know I am so far away from them. My brother has not spoke to me in a year, sure wish I could make him grow up and realize now is the time to pull together versus drift further apart. Life does not seem fair! How does one cope with a situation like this? It hurts and does not seem fair! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Pools Battle For Point With Luton
Ten-man Pools dug in to pick up a well-earned point against high-flying Luton Town at The Northern Gas and Power Stadium.
After a strong first-half performance which was capped off with a goal from Birthday boy Nathan Thomas, Pools played much of the second half with ten men and battled hard for the point against a determined Hatters side.
After a quiet start, the first half was an entertaining watch, with both teams playing some good football.
While Luton Town put together some decent spells of pressure, Pools remained a real threat on the break, with pressure from both wings.
Nathan Thomas sent a perfectly-weighted pass into the box from a deep left position which was just nicked off the head of Padraig Amond who was waiting to nod it home.
With ten minutes gone, the attack came from the other side as Jordan Richards got forward to whip a cross in again for Amond but once again the defender just got there in time to steal it.
The following corner caused problems inside a crowded penalty box but with bodies battling on the ground, the ball was pushed around the near post and out of play.
As Luton got more involved in the game, Jack Marriott broke forward at pace with Trevor Carson in his sights but fortunately Liam Donnelly kept pace with him to do just enough to prevent the strike. Marriott did manage to push the ball into the path of Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu who saw his shot blocked by Carson before Jake Carroll kicked well clear.
Toto Nsiala was next to be called into action, and the big defender did what was needed with a great tackle to take the ball from the feet of Marriott.
With Pools back on the attack, Thomas sent another ambitious ball in from the left which missed Amond but was picked up Alessandra on the right and he sent it back square to set up Josh Laurent who sent his shot just high over the bar.
Lewis Hawkins was instrumental in the middle for Pools this evening, playing with clear confidence and dominating for his side.
Donnelly, playing alongside Nsiala at the back this evening in the absence of the suspended Scott Harrison, was strong for Pools and put in a number of crucial blocks in the first half, while Nsiala also looked solid.
And Pools strong first-half display was rewarded in added time when Laurent stole possession just outside the area and fed it forward to Alessandra. He passed it in for Hawkins who saw his powerful strike at goal blocked by Christian Walton. Birthday boy Nathan Thomas reacted first a pounced on the rebound to thunder home his fifth goal in as many games to make it 1-0.
Hignett's side looked full of that confidence after the break and could well have doubled the lead when Amond found himself in space. With just Walton to beat the striker picked his post but saw his effort bounce off the crossbar and come back into play. Nathan Thomas picked it up but saw his strike curl just wide of the near post.
And with less than ten minutes of the second half having been played, Pools were down to ten men as Nicky Featherstone received his marching orders. The midfielder went in to challenge Olly Lee on the half-way line and the referee was quick to make his mind up as he pulled out the red card and sent Featherstone off.
Pools were now left with over thirty minutes to play with a man down and in the minutes immediately following the goal, the game became frantic as Luton tried to take an instant advantage and they had a great chance for Marriott but he sent his effort from close range over the bar.
Minutes later and Mpanzu was in a great position as he sent a great strike at goal but Nsiala did brilliantly to get just enough on the strike to send it onto the post and Pools held onto the lead.
Pools lived something of a charmed life following the sending off and escaped an equaliser thanks to an outstretched boot, leg and arm.
But when the busy Alex Gilliead was tripped just outside of the area by Laurent, the Hatters were awarded a freekick in the perfect position for skipper Alan Sheehan. The defender stepped up to curl in a trademark freekick which sailed twenty yards and into the top corner of Carson's net to make it 1-1 with just over ten minutes left.
As Luton looked to snatch the three points, Cameron McGeehan burst into the box to power a shot at goal but Toto Nsiala was in determined mood as he threw himself into the block and took the ball full in the face to deny the chance.
At the other end, Nathan Thomas burst forward to try his luck with a strike from the right of the area but his shot dipped just the wrong side of the bar.
Pools were spending the great majority of time defending as the final whistle - which included six minutes of added time - approached, making for a very tense finish. Luton Town came back at Pools time and again and every player in blue and white dug in to keep the visitors out.
Trevor Carson pulled off a great save with his feet to deny an initial shot from Olly Lee but Jack Marriott stepped up with the goal in his sights to fire home the winner only to blaze over from close range.
It was a battle to the very end for Pools and, while the second half was not as entertaining as the first, there was just as much endeavour from ten-man Pools who battled all the way for the point this evening.

|Five Oaks Investment Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results
2014 Highlights
* Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that we define as GAAP net income, excluding impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and certain non-recurring upfront costs related to securitization transactions. As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments.
** Economic return is a non-GAAP measure that we define as the sum of the change in net book value per common share and dividends declared on our common stock during the period over the beginning net book value per common share.
Management Observations
The market environment in 2014 was sometimes volatile. In the second half of the year, lower interest rates caused future expectations of prepayments to increase, putting pressure on mortgage-servicing rights prices, interest-only values and AAA securitization spreads. Notwithstanding these pressures, which certainly impacted our fourth quarter results, we were able to produce a positive economic return for the year of 3.5% while raising additional capital necessary to execute on our operating company strategy.
2015 has started out strongly for the prime jumbo securitization market, with over
We continue selectively to invest in the multi-family sector, where strong rental growth and declining home ownership levels continue to support the strong fundamentals of the sector. Additionally, as a result of our increased investments in both multi-family and new issue prime jumbo credit, we have further reduced our exposure to fixed rate agency securities, which are now down to only 10% of our portfolio. We anticipate this trend will continue as we recycle capital into newer credit investments with typically lower leverage and less interest rate sensitivity.
We are optimistic about the opportunities we have in front of us in 2015, and are confident that the loan aggregation and securitization business we have developed, together with the credit investments it creates organically, should benefit our Company for years to come."
Capital Allocation
The following table summarizes certain characteristics of our investment portfolio and the related allocation of our equity capital on a non-GAAP combined basis as of
Comparative Expenses
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the composition of our expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter and the year ended
The decline in G&A, Other Operating, Reimbursable and Compensation Expenses as a percentage of Capital over the past year is a function of our increased capital base.
The increase in expenses related to the Prime Jumbo loan business is due to the increase in our investment in this asset class. The prime jumbo mortgage loan strategy typically has higher costs than a CUSIP-only business model because it is more operationally intensive.
Going forward, we anticipate that the ongoing recurring costs of our FOAC business should be covered by net interest income plus gain on sale from the disposition of such aggregated loans through securitizations or sales of whole loan packages.
Operating Performance
The following table summarizes the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measurements for the respective periods in 2014.

bob nicolas GMA my wedding Unang Hirit vintage autumn wedding
Our Wedding at Unang Hirit
Our wedding was featured on television! Sunday morning last week, our uber fabulous videographer, Bob Nicolas asked me again about our theme. I immediately replied "It's
Vintage-Autumn". Then the night of the same day, he sent me an SMS saying he sent 3 themed wedding videos at GMA's Unang Hirit and ours was included! Wow! Our fourth wedding feature! The segment was incidentally shown on Bryan's birthday, same day the Lakers won the championship. Double treat for the hubby. We were not able to watch it on tv, but we have to say thank you to whoever uploaded the video on Youtube.
The mini clips...(0:50-0.52, 1:22-1:24, 2:16-2:25)
The other 2 videos (the
vintage glamour and the Moroccan themed weddings) were also posted at Bob's site. I almost drooled. They are fantastic!

Innovations in Windows 10 understandable language:
Returned the "Start" button.
Have slightly changed the design of the Notification Center.
Added personal voice assistant Cortana. You can ask questions by voice and receive voice responses. Since Microsoft regards Russia as a third-class country, Cortana does not work for Russian users and when it does work in Windows 10 it is not known.
The Internet Explorer browser has been replaced with the Edge browser. Of the interesting features - close integration with the service Cortana, not working for Russian users (see above). The ability to work through IE is saved.
Function Continuum. Windows 10 determines when the tablet is connected to the keyboard and goes from tablet mode to PC mode.
Virtual desktops. Well known linuksoidam for 20 years. Now and in Windows.
New app store.
Streaming games. Videos from the Xbox can be redirected to a PC or tablet.
The built-in Windows Defender antivirus now turns on itself if the user does not install a normal antivirus within 3 days.
New email client. No outstanding functions were found: letter formatting, spelling check, inserting pictures.
Biometric Authentication Library. Solves two problems: allows to refuse passwords and at the same time collects a fingerprint database for users for the needs of the NSA.
Hyperboot technology. Accelerates the system load.
InstantGo technology. Supports connection to Microsoft servers even when the screen is off and in standby mode. Allows you to download updates when the device is not used for work.
Secure Boot. Officially stated that Secure Boot is needed to protect against viruses, but everyone knows that Secure Boot is coined to protect against Linux. There is no real benefit, because there are fewer viruses under Windows.
Device Guard. Function for corporate clients. Allows you to control which applications can be run on a device with Windows 10, and which can not. Moreover, it will be possible to solve not only the IT department of the enterprise, but also the Windows store.
Windows Feedback. You can read the complaints of other users on the work of Windows 10 and write your own.
Wi-Fi Sense. Windows 10 will send out your Wi-Fi password on the Skype contact list, Facebook friends list and all the addresses from the email client.
Connection type accounting. Windows will not start downloading gigabytes of updates if the user is connected through a mobile connection.
There was an analog of Google Maps.
DirectX 12. Built-in Windows 10, but it does not work with all games and not with all video cards, of course.
Snap Assist. This function helps to place windows of running applications in the best way. Up to 4 windows are supported. In this case, the screen will be divided into 4 equal rectangles.
Scrolling inactive windows. The window under the active window can also be scrolled.
The Game DVR function allows you to record a video game and take screenshots.
The "Calendar" program has been updated. Now shows the weather and traffic information.
Picture viewer. Now it supports viewing RAW and merging photos on OneDrive.
Windows Insider. The program of free participation in alpha testing of Microsoft products will not be canceled. Users who have installed Windows 10 for free under this program will receive the right to use Windows 10 for free. and further. In exchange, users will try out test versions of updates.

Hi all
This Saturday I'll be doing the magnificent Kinglake climb for the second time. My question to you folk is this.......
Have any of you done it at this time of year and if so, does the road get icy?
I've done the climb before but the weather was beautiful and sunny, so I'm interested to know if my riding partner and I are likely to encounter the descent from hell
While we're at it, I was also wondering the same thing about Mt Macedon, as I'm keen to give it a crack from both approaches (Gisborne/Woodend) at some point this winter
Thanks, and happy riding

Overnight low of 4 degrees so there could be some minor frost around early in the morning. Nothing that should keep you away though! Scope it out on the way up and take it easy on the descent.
I'll be heading out there on Monday myself! (love long weekends!)

I grew up in Macedon, and it can definitely get icy, particularly in the shade, even on nights when the average temp doesn't drop below 0.
From a descending point of view, going down the Woodend side might be a bit safer as it isn't quite as steep as the southern face (which can get up over 10% in parts), and is a bit more twisty, meaning you won't be as tempted to tuck and go wild .

If you're going to come down the woodend side definitely plan your route to go down Straws lane. It's known as Gravity hill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_hill)
Worth a look.

You made some decent points there. I appeared on the web for the issue and found most people will go together with along with your website.
That's so amazing–your brushes with these movies. It makes one feel hopeful…somehow…to see one person trickle through time. So cool that you were in Touch of Evil and also saw James Dean! Thanks for sharing.
It was fun reading your post on Hollywood from earlier years. Keep writing as you shine a light on all the people who made these films happen and not just the celebrities. it's interesting stuff. Thanks.
From Tess in Seattle area
Thanks for the interesting blog. I'm wondering if you know who the person is in this web link?
He was a TV and Movie extra who never had a speaking part but was in many episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show", "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and the movies "Christmas in Connecticut" (1945) and The Three Stooges' "Swing Parade of 1946."
Ralph What is your last name

City of Decatur, GAHome Home Menu
Phase V Downtown Streetscapes
Downtown Streetscape Improvements – Phase V
Budget: $1,217,000
Status: Design completed
Bid Date: Fall 2011
Storm drainage improvements
Trinity Triangle developer participation
Under review by GDOT
Right-of-way acquisition
North McDonough Streetscape Improvements (Phase IV)
The Phase V Downtown Decatur Streetscape project area includes the south side of East Trinity Place from North McDonough Street to Church Street, both sides of East Trinity Place from Church Street to just past the Fire Station, and Church Street from East Trinity Place south to East Howard Avenue. The purpose of the project is to improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians and to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and motorists. Potential improvements will be located in the public right of way and will include new sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps, street trees, pedestrian scale lights, and trash receptacles. The proposed finished look of Phase V will be very similar to the previously installed streetscape Phases I, II & III.
The city has retained the planning and engineering consulting firm of Post Buckley Schuh and Jernigan (PBS&J) to help plan the project. PBS&J has designed all of the city's recent downtown streetscape and storm drainage improvements. The project will be partially funded through a grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Approximately one million dollars has been earmarked for the construction of these improvements. The source is a combination of local bond funds and an award from the Federal Transportation Enhancement (TE) program. Because of the TE funds, certain Federal requirements must be met in order for the project to be approved. The federal funds for this project must be used for transportation related improvements. A Federal environmental permit is required that will evaluate the project's impact on ecological, historical, archeological resources, and air quality of the project area. This permitting process is lengthy and cannot be avoided. Construction easements must also be acquired. As a result, construction for of the project will not begin until fall of 2011 or later.

Hey y'all, It's Tiffany, riding with the insiders and I am all over the music scene. So, here's whats up!
Got it on the down low, so be cool! Naw, just kidding, tell everybody 'cause I am. Just talked to Dawn Sox, that blonde hit making machine. After three platinum albums that DJ's in the best clubs just had to have Dawn sez she wants to try something new.
I asked her, "Dawn, what's the next CD about, y'all?" Dawn said its an examination of humanity's struggle for balance between their spirituality and its willingness to kill anyone that disagrees with them and in part a look at the our obsession with materialism.
Well, I just looked at her like she was high. Like, I did not even blink. I mean what was all that babble about? I'm thinking, how ya gonna dance to that?
I figure she must have had a dictionary implant or something 'cause after a long pause she says, It rocks, girlfriend, you will be dancin' your sox off, yo!
So you got it here first, we be clubbing hard when it comes out this summer.
TTFN, Tiff!

Recognized worldwide as the leading package used for transporting liquids and solids, steel drums are not new to the world of industrial packaging. In fact, steel drums are one of the most recognizable types of packaging that fulfill GREEN initiatives. In addition to being the most widely used package for liquid and solid shipments, it also is the packaging type that is most used for global hazardous material shipments. The steel drum is one of the few packagings that has a "maiden voyage", then depending on the metal thickness, can be reconditioned for another 3-7 more "trips," and eventually the exhausted packaging can be 100% recycled. This means that a single steel drum can serve as many as 4-8 shipments of product before being sold for scrap!
It's important to point out that the number of reconditioning lives of the drum is a function of the top, bottom and body wall metal thickness. While many drum manufacturers choose to reduce the metal thickness to reduce the initial raw material cost, this also substantially reduces the number of "trips," the drum will make before recycling. Hence, the small initial savings might, initially, reduce the cost of packaging, but it also increases the RISK of a packaging breach. Unlike other packagings that have only a single life, or that are "recycleable" but not reusable, the steel drum qualifies for the GREEN objectives by using our natural resources more efficiently and encouraging reuse and recycling of industrial packaging.

Bachelor couple Jason and Molly Mesnick recently celebrated their daughter Riley's first birthday — and they pulled out all the stops! They made the most of their little girl's milestone with an "over-the-top" birthday bash, attended by 100 family members and friends, including former Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock and fiancé Chris Siegfried.
With the birthday girl rockin' her sweet Stride Rite kicks, and guests leaving with posh party favors from Mabel's Labels, the reality couple celebrated in style at their Seattle-based home.
Celebrity Baby Scoop caught up with the proud parents to hear exclusive details of their daughter's fun soirée, their baby girl who has "quite a silly personality," and their hopes to add another baby to the brood.
CBS: Happy birthday to your sweet daughter Riley! Tell us all about her milestone birthday.
MM: "I wanted to go big with Riley's first birthday party because, well, you only turn one once, right [laughs]. We invited 100 of our closest family and friends. We even had family members fly in from out of town. Desiree and Chris, our fellow Bachelor family members, also came out to celebrate."
CBS: Tell us some of the highlights of the party. What was your favorirte part? Tell us about some of Riley's favorite gifts.
MM: "The dessert table, by Jenny Cookies, was far and away the highlight of the party! She put together a table emulating ice cream treats and it made the look of the room. We had cake pops shaped like ice cream cones, krispie treats shaped like popsicles, and even and 3-tier ice cream scoop cake.
Riley received a ton of gifts, but she's very into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse right now, so her Minnie Mouse car was the highlight for her."
CBS: Now that the soiree has occurred, do you think you will throw such huge parties for her in the future?
MM: "I'm a party planner by nature, so as much as I'd like to say her future parties won't be as over-the-top, chances are likely they will be [laughs]. It's just too much fun to plan."
CBS: Do you think the first birthday is more of a party for the parents than it is for the child? Or a little of both?
MM: "This party was definitely catered more towards adults. Riley is only one, so it's not like she has a ton of friends. Most of the guests were our own friends."
CBS: How is Riley doing? What is she into these days? What does she do to make you laugh?
MM: "Riley is constantly making us laugh. She is at such a fun age where she is really starting to interact with us, understand words, and she's got quite a silly personality. She's also on the move, big time! I have to watch her like a hawk because if I turn away for even a minute, she's already playing in the toilet [laughs]."
CBS: How were the first few months of motherhood for you? Did you feel overwhelmed at all? How have you adjusted to new motherhood?
MM: "Honestly, I was a very low stress mommy at the beginning and still today. I didn't read a lot of books beforehand, so I wouldn't get worked up about the little things. I took everything in stride and just enjoyed the little moments with Riley. She has a great disposition — very happy, calm, and easy. I got really lucky with this one."
CBS: Are you hoping to add to your family one day soon and have another baby?
MM: "I think so. Riley already has a big brother (Ty, who is 9), but I'd love for her to have a sibling closer in age. I grew up with a sister who is only 2 years old than me, and we are so close. I want that for Riley too."
CBS: Any other special projects you are working on right now?
MM: "I just started a completely new job as the morning radio show co-host on 106.1 KISS FM. It's quite the career change for me, but it's so much fun and it now allows me to have the entire afternoon with Riley. We're just about to start swimming lessons with her, and I wouldn't have had that luxury with my previous job, which was more of an office, desk job."

What is inner voice
We all have an inner voice, a still small sensation that speak to us from deep within when we are about to do the wrong thing or not to do something we should do.
At times this gentle voice also tries to prepare you for some future event, or worn you to be cautious so as to avoid some potential trouble. You can't hear the voice with your ears, but rather with your minds. In fact it is almost a feeling, and not a voice at all, but it is called a voice because it gives you a quick clear message, so quick that it is almost a flicker. Sometimes causing you to brush it aside. Yet it is so clear that when you ignore it, you can always remember that you heard it, and that you ignored it, and you always regret it
The primary source of wisdom lies within us. This source of divinity can provide guidance for our specific wants and needs, and it can help us to follow our bliss. Listening to your inner voice will assist us to:
* Go within and find your sense of purpose * Consciously choose to express that purpose * Work with resistance and pain as they come up and release them, let the universe * direct and assist you * Reap the rewords of joyful and peaceful life.
Are you eager to live on an abundant, inspired and fulfilling life? Then listening to your inner voice will help you. The inner voice of truth is continually asking to be heard, guiding you to open doors you did not know even exist.
Why you hesitate to listen to your inner voice
You sometimes hesitate to listen to your inner voice due to critical inner voice. The critical inner voice refers to well integrated pattern of destructive thought towards yourself and others. The "voice" that make this internalized dialogue are the root of much of maladaptive behavior.
The Shadow
This critical inner voice is known as "shadow" – it is the most critical obstacles to happiness we face.
The shadow exists within you. It is part of you and yet you spend most of your life running away from it.. But far from being scary, your dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Your shadow makes itself known everyday. It is the reason you get furious over a friend showing up 10 minutes late, yell at people and sabotage your own success at the worst possible time. Until you are able to embrace your dualistic nature, you will continue to hurt yourself and those closest to you and fall short of your potential.
Discover the gifts of your shadow to pierce the veil of your unclaimed self to release you from the past and propel you on a journey to wholeness. No longer living half life, you will be capable of achieving your dreams and reclaim the happiness that is your birthright.
When your inner voice speaks to you
Your inner voice is "you", the part of you that knows you so well that it can tenderly alert you in various situations that come up in your life and in essence help you to make wise choices – in other words it is about trusting yourself
By learning to listen to your inner voice you come to know and trust yourself. You begin to learn what is and isn't right for your life and you trust because you realize you have perfect answers for problems that face you.
Following are some reasons why your inner voice may speak to you gently or nag you:
* To save you aggravation * To save your creative energy by protecting you from certain people * To restore creative energy by urging you to get physically fit.
But sometimes your inner voice may speak to you in a forceful way seeming to set off an alarm system warning you. It does this when you may be about to make a major mistake that will affect the rest of your life, or when your physical body is in danger.
Your inner voice guides you
Your inner voice does more than help you to avoid aggravation, wasted energy or danger. Throughout your life, your inner voice struggles to be heard – over the noisy din of your own thoughts; the pressure put upon you by personal responsibilities, families and friends; and the confusion of the many choices that surround you. It ties to give you a guidance or direction in finding the path that you should walk, so you can best utilize your talent and fulfill the purpose for which you were born.
It is your inner voice that quietly nags you or even badgers you if you have stepped off your path and not living up to your potential. No matter what the reason – whether out of laziness, fear, weakness or circumstance – if you are off " the path", or are not being true to your purposes in life, your inner voice will not leave you to peace. The inner voice is therefore the guardian of the "self".

Discussion in 'Asia' started by NATO AIR, Aug 14, 2005.
and for our sake and the future of Japan, let's hope he survives.
It would be a great thing if the Japanese people decided to willingly lop off the dead weight of socialism.
It would lead to a boon for the Japanese economy, a renaissance for the Japanese people (which their cultural psychology so desperately needs right now), and would be an excellent example for the whole Western world to follow. If Koizumi's gamble works the Japanese could well teach us all a valuable lesson.
I hope it does work. The Japanese people need to feel they are great again. They need to become great again. Under our tutelage they can become both great and good.
It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of that development as it concerns not only Asia but the whole world.
You are quite right, let us hope he wins....

LOS ANGELES - Nearly three years after a police shooting that sparked protests in Los Angeles, prosecutors said Thursday they will not file charges against the officer who killed an unarmed homeless man, despite a recommendation for charges from the police chief.
Prosecutors declined to bring charges because they couldn't prove Officer Clifford Proctor acted unlawfully when he shot Brendon Glenn in the back in 2015 in Venice, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said.
"We have concluded that there's insufficient evidence to overcome a claim at trial by Officer Proctor that he did that in defence of his partner or himself," Lacey said.
Glenn, 29, of Troy, New York, was on his stomach and trying to push himself up when Proctor shot him, according to police.
Glenn wasn't trying to take a gun from Proctor or his partner when he was shot, and Proctor's partner told investigators that he didn't know why the officer opened fire, police have said.
Police Chief Charlie Beck had recommended that prosecutors charge Proctor. In addition, a civilian oversight panel found the officer violated department policy when he shot Glenn twice in the back.
An attorney for Glenn's family called Lacey's decision "spineless" and said it highlighted a conflict of interest when prosecutors are tasked with deciding whether to charge police officers.
"Officer Proctor did not act to deescalate the situation," lawyer V. James DeSimone said in a statement. "This tragic death could have been avoided with common sense policing."
The shooting, which came amid tensions nationwide over police killings of unarmed black men, drew angry protests in the city. Both Glenn and Proctor are black.
Glenn's name has become a rallying cry against police shootings in Los Angeles, and activists have held a series of protests outside Lacey's office. The activists say the office hasn't prosecuted an on-duty officer for a fatal shooting in more than a decade.
Beck's unprecedented recommendation to charge the officer was not helpful to the case, Lacey said. Such letters raise expectations when the evidence may not be there to support the conclusion, she said.
Glenn was killed during a struggle with officers outside a bar where he had fought with a bouncer. A police report said Proctor told investigators that he saw Glenn's hand on his partner's holster and thought he was trying to grab the other officer's gun.
Surveillance video from a nearby bar did not show Glenn reaching for the weapon, and Proctor's partner, Jonathan Kawahara, said he didn't see Glenn's hand go near his gun, a district attorney's report said.
Prosecutors said even if Glenn wasn't reaching for Kawahara's gun, the struggle could've caused Proctor to fear that he was.
The district attorney did not decide the shooting was justified and instead said Porter "could have a rather credible and successful claim that in this struggle to lawfully arrest this man that he feared that there was a threat of death or great bodily injury."
Proctor's attorney, Bill Seki, said he believed the district attorney made the right decision and Proctor was in imminent danger when he shot Glenn.
"That's been our position all along that his actions weren't criminal," Seki said.
Proctor resigned from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2017. The city paid $4 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit that was brought by Glenn's relatives.
The report included officer body-camera footage , which is rarely released by Los Angeles authorities, and surveillance videos. Investigators said they also took statements from 10 civilian witnesses, used DNA analysis and brought in a use-of-force expert to consult on the case.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents rank-and-file police officers, said Lacey "followed the evidence in this case and did not succumb to political posturing or pressure."
While Proctor was on leave after the shooting, internal affairs investigators referred a case to the district attorney's office against him because they found he "was not at home when he was supposed to be," but prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges.
In 2016, Proctor was charged in a separate case with domestic battery and is also accused of violating a court order and dissuading a witness from testifying, Orange County prosecutors said. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

text: During the 18 years she lived in Texas, Judy Shertzer, business partner with chef Phillip Abbot at Terra Spice in Walkerton, sampled a fair share of salsas. "I was exposed to a lot of different types of Mexican cooking in Texas and learned how chilies are used -- both fresh and dried. I don't think I ever saw fresh chilies in a grocery store until Texas, since South Bend certainly didn't have them 20-plus years ago." Shertzer says there are typically three types of salsas in Mexico: the fresh chopped tomato, chili, cilantro, onion mixture called salsa fresca or pico de gallo; a thin vinegary, spicy chile sauce that is similar to a Louisiana hot sauce but with more body; and the type that is made with cooked tomatoes or tomatillos and fresh or dried chilies. Salsas all share the basic elements of chopped fruit/vegetables, fresh chilies, onion, acid, salt and flavorings. "They are meant to be eaten within a couple of hours of preparation," Shertzer says, "which makes them a good choice for football games because they can be prepared shortly before kickoff, set aside for flavors to unfold along with the game, and be ready to serve by half-time." When preparing your salsa, Shertzer recommends cutting everything in a fine dice -- especially in the fruit recipes -- so that all the flavors of the other ingredients can coat the pieces of fruit/vegetables. It's best to start with only a few chilies, adding more to taste since they can vary in heat levels, depending on how much water they received when they were grown. Jalapeños can be mild or extremely hot. You may also want to remove the ribs and seeds from the inside of the chilies. That, rather than the flesh, is where the heat is. Wear gloves while chopping chilies if you have sensitive skin. And, Shertzer warns, don't touch your eyes! Also take produce availability into account. Use what's in-season to ensure peak flavor. "If you choose a tomato-based recipe," Shertzer advises, "use the freshest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find. I wouldn't substitute canned for fresh for these recipes. The whole point is fresh ingredients. There are different recipes that use canned tomatoes that you can work with, but they wouldn't be 'salsa frescas.' " This is because a salsa fresca (which translates to "fresh sauce") relies on the brightness that fresh flavor components add, including the tomatoes, chilies, fruits and other ingredients. And there aren't a lot of dried spices added -- sometimes cumin, and always salt.

As breakfast breads go, my preference is the scone. Sure, I'm happy with good homemade buttermilk biscuits, and hearty grain breads, but when asked, I'm headed scone-ward. It's a format that you can go a great deal with, indulging your desire for a host of flavor profiles, but spices and fruits. Cinnamon also being my spice of choice, this was a no-brainer when we were putting together brunch.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbl sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup butter
½ cup raisins
½ cup milk
2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
The Rocket Scientist is the baker on this team. I hold up my end by doing the eating.
She combined the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt by hand in a bowl, and then cut in the butter with her fingertips until the mixture looked like a coarse meal. She said (and I think she's channeling Alton Brown here) that cutting in the butter is like "rubbing a puppy's ears." She stirred in the raisins, then gradually added enough milk (sometimes it's as little as 1/3 cup, but most of the time, the full ½ cup is what works) to form a soft dough. She stirred it just enough to make sure the dry ingredients were all moist, not wanting to over-work the dough. She turned it out onto the lightly-floured (and thoroughly-cleaned) counter, and kneaded it lightly 4 or 5 times.
After heating the oven to 450F, she rolled the dough out into about a ½ inch thickness, then cut it into triangles, yielding 12 scones. She baked them for 10 minutes, but depending on altitude and whatnot, you might want to keep an eye on them after about the 8 minute point. You want them lightly browned, somewhat crispy on the outside and medium-textured inside.
She didn't do it this time, but occasionally she makes a simple cream cheese frosting for them, or sometimes sprinkles some coarse sugar on top just before putting them in the oven.
Simple and tasty, these scones are a great addition to any brunch menu, or simply the perfect thing to have with a great cup of coffee.
