GRTV met with Maxis VP and general manager Bret Berry to discuss the reboot of Sim City.
"When Sim City 4 came out there were a lot of amazing ideas that they wanted to do, but it really took a long time actually to come up with the right technology. So Glassbox is really the lynchpin, really what allows us to produce this new reboot of Sim City. So we're allowed to do detail like we've never had before, but also present it in a very graphical, beautiful way that's easy to understand so that anybody can play Sim City."

Druze leader Walid Jumblat has said that Syria should provide arms to Palestinian refugees in the Yarmouk camp, which is eight kilometers from the center of Damascus, to continue an armed struggle with Israel.
"Let the Syrians open training camps there and launch a resistance movement along their border (with Israel) to liberate the Golan Heights," Jumblat said Sunday at a press conference in his hometown of Mukhtara.
Yarmouk is an unofficial camp and home to the largest Palestine refugee community in Syria.
The anti-Syrian politician said he wished all the best for Syrian opposition groups and figures that launched a "National Salvation Front" in Brussels last week aimed to oust President Bashar Assad's regime.
Jumblat said a democratic regime that respects freedoms and human rights in Syria would serve the Lebanese people's interests. "Lebanon cannot enjoy stability as long as its neighboring state is run by a dictatorial regime," he said.

It's the largest children specialty apparel retailer in North America.
Anyone from newborns to teenagers can find clothes on its shelves.
And it's coming to Plattsburgh.
The Children's Place is slated to open in Champlain Centre.
"The Children's Place is another best in category tenant," said Champlain Centre General Manager David Napolitan.
As of this past October, there were more than 1,100 Children's Place locations.
The company says it sells stylish clothes and accessories from newborn to size 14, "at value prices that reflect the company's motto 'Big Fashion, Little Prices.'"
Construction on The Children's Place is scheduled to begin in February, with an opening targeted for late spring.
The store will be located next to Foot Locker and in front of JCPenney.
"Champlain Center, operated by Pyramid Management Group, is thrilled to welcome the Children's Place into the Centre," Napolitan said. "This is the second children's store that will be opening in the mall.
"The addition of The Children's Place, along with our recently announced Crazy 8 store, gives our customers two great options for children's clothing."
The Children's Place designs, contracts to manufacture and sells its merchandise primarily under the proprietary The Children's Place brand name.
The retailer reported net sales of $1.71 billion at the beginning of this year.
The nearest location is at the University Mall in South Burlington.

Taurus [Lat.,= the bull], in astronomy, constellation NW of Orion and lying on the ecliptic (the sun's apparent path through the heavens) between Gemini and Aries it is one of the constellations of the zodiac . Taurus is traditionally depicted as the forepart of a bull, in reference to the Greek legend in which Zeus either assumed the form of a bull himself or sent the bull to carry Europa over the sea to Crete. The constellation contains the bright stars Elnath (Beta Tauri) and Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), long used in navigation. A line extended through and slightly up from Orion's belt will strike Aldebaran. Two notable star clusters, the Pleiades and the Hyades , are found in Taurus, which also includes a number of double stars (observable with small telescopes) and the Crab Nebula (M1). Taurus reaches its highest point in the evening sky in January.

It was reported last week on former bas ketball star Jayson Williams' problems — personal problems, money problems, drinking problems, court problems, professional problems. Somebody suggested his spiral began when, due to needle sharing, he lost two sisters to AIDS. Angry, feeling orphaned, he never dealt with it. He runs from anything painful. Turning all his hurts inside, he masks the demons with bad stuff. Possibly even the wife and kids he loved may scare him emotionally because, having lost his sisters, he's afraid of losing them, too. There seems agreement with his divorcing wife, Tanya, that he needs to be corralled to face what's tearing at him. — NY Post

My friends asked me about what I was seeing, and insisted I was experiencing what Indian mystics call a kundalini activation.
This knowledge belongs to a branch of yoga called kundalini yoga, a specialized branch of the path of raja yoga.
Sexual energy (called kundalini in Eastern terminology) is supposedly housed in the root chakra (a spiritual center located in the genital area) and can be channeled through other chakras, or spiritual centers, to the crown chakra located at the top of the head.
These exercises heighten the presence of life energy, or vitality, which the ancient masters called kundalini.
With Bonanza Jellybean's permission, and against my explicit orders, she's been coercing the guests into trying something called kundalini yoga.
In tantra, as explained in the Mahanirvana Tantra, Shakti has nearly always been defined as kundalini, and Shiva, the male aspect, as chetana or consciousness.
Some people go through something called kundalini awakening, which can be feel like mental illness (link below).
One of the concepts that lends us some insight about this is the concept of "kundalini" that comes from the yogic philosophy of ancient India.
Remember, I was young—twelve, a time when what's known as the kundalini life force energy just starts to rise.
Those who are familiar with 'kundalini' are already knowledgeable on the significance of the location of this tattoo placement.
Tell cuts his arrow from a branch of mistletoe, a plant of Aryan mythology, and he hits an apple, symbol of the third eye activated by the serpent Kundalini.
--Umberto Eco, 1988, Foucault's Pendulum, p. 204
In those days, chiropractors had a somewhat dubious reputation. People didn't come to Uncle Pete to free up their kundalini. He cracked necks, straightened spines, and made custom arch supports out of foam rubber. Still he was the closest thing to a doctor we had in the house on those Sunday afternoons.
--Jeffrey Eugenides, 2002, Middlesex, p. 7

Nigeria to collaborate with Niger republic, Pakistan on Hajj Economic benefits
By Mohammad Ibrahim
Follow @yabastic
(Abuja)The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has planned to collaborate with Republic of Niger and Pakistani Hajj Missions to improve the quality and management of Hajj affairs in the world. Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and every Muslim is expected to embark on a journey to Saudi Arabia to perform hajj ones in his or her life time, particularly those who can afford it financially.
Nigeria's Chairman Abdullahi Mukhtar Muhammed who visited the offices of the two countries stated that a collaborative effort between the Hajj affairs managers would not only help to improve Hajj services but also forge the spirit of brotherhood among the Muslims countries. He therefore stressed the need to strengthen the current relationship between the various Hajj missions with a view to learn more from each other and render help in case of need.
According to him, this collaboration will not only enhances improve services to the pilgrims but also uplift the management of Hajj affairs. "We have chosen this path of consultation and collaboration with our brother Hajj missions to learn and share our experiences, so that together we can improve Hajj services to our pilgrims. We hope that our visit will open a new chapter in broadening the mutual friendship and spirit of brotherhood between our respective missions ,he added.
At the Niger Republic Hajj Mission, the NAHCON boss expressed appreciation to their ambassador for the brotherly love and support extended to him and canvassed for a strategic partnership to explore the economic benefit derivable from Hajj to grow the two countries domestic economy especially in the exports of local food items to Saudi Arabia.
The head of the Nigerien Hajj mission, Garba Bello, expressed delight at the visit, adding that both nations shared ethnic,linquistic, cultural and religious affinity and are therefore bound to cooperate and assist each other. Similarly, the Director-General of the Pakistani Hajj Mission, Dr Sajid Yousafari, expressed appreciation for the visit and pledged to offer the mission's assistance to NAHCON in the area of ICT development and deployment.
The DG who outlined the structure, and functions of the various sectors of the Hajj Mission in Makkah and Medina said the country's over 143 000 pilgrims allocation is shared equally between the Government Hajj scheme and the country's 460 private Tour companies adding that the government scheme cater for middle and economy pilgrims while the private tour companies cater for the upper class.

Study shows risk rates for angioplasty, coronary bypass surgery sameNovember 14th, 2007 - 2:20 am ICT by admin
Lead author Mark Hlatky, MD, professor of health research and policy and of cardiovascular medicine, assured that angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery were safe procedures for treating heart problems.
"It is reassuring that the long-term safety of these two procedures is roughly the same. Patients and their doctors can have a more informed discussion about which procedure should be done, based on other outcomes that are important to the patient," Hlatky said.
For treating patients with coronary artery disease, two medical interventions are available - bypass surgery and angioplasty. In bypass surgery, surgeons take a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to create a detour around the blocked part of the coronary artery.
While in angioplasty, a tiny balloon is used to open a blocked artery; a mesh tube called a stent is inserted to hold open the artery after the procedure.
While angioplasty is typically used for those patients with single-vessel disease, bypass surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with blockages in three arteries,
However, Hlatky said that it's not always clear which is the best treatment choice, since both the treatments can be used in either of the cases.
In the study, data from 23 randomised clinical trials that compared treatments for patients with mid-range coronary disease was analysed.early 10,000 patients were examined; 4,944 patients were randomly assigned to surgery and 5,019 patients were randomly assigned to angioplasty.
Thorough analysis showed that the procedural survival rate for the two was almost the same - 98.2 percent for bypass surgery and 98.9 percent for angioplasty.
However, bypass surgery was associated with small but significantly greater risk of stroke within 30 days of the procedure.
With about 90 percent of patients living five years after either procedure, as was the risk of post-procedure heart attack, the long-term survival rates were comparable.
Within five years, about 12 percent of surgery patients and 10.9 percent of angioplasty patients had a heart attack.
Diabetic patients were specifically looked at in the study since diabetes is a key risk factor for coronary artery disease. No difference was found in survival rates between the two procedures while taking diabetes into consideration.
The study is published in Annals of Internal Medicine. (ANI)

The long anticipated flotation of a top Kenyan mobile phone company is expected to proceed today despite calls from some quarters to shelve the plan. Safaricom, billed as the largest and the most lucrative IPO in East Africa, will be listed on Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) beginning Friday March 28 and close on April 23. The flotation is seen as a major test of investor confidence in Kenya after last December election violence.
The Government of Kenya plans to publicly float 25% (or 10 billion shares) of its 60% stake in the company. The remaining 40% company holdings are held by the British telecoms, Vodafone (VOD.L). Local investors, including citizens from East Africa Community (EAC) nations of Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, are allocated 6.5 million shares. Foreign institutional investors are allocated the remaining 3.5 billion shares.
The company expects to raise 50 billion Kenyan shillings ($767 million) from the listing, at 5 shillings per share. Safaricom's strength in the Kenyan mobile market has increased significantly over the past 5 years to 80% last year from 57% in 2002. At the time of the launch of its popular "M-Pesa" phone-based money transfer service 11 months ago, Safaricom had 5.8 million subscribers, compared with about 9.5 million now.
Allowing East Africans to directly take part in this IPO is seen as a major step in the intergration of the regional capital markets. Investors from the region, outside of Kenya, will have to open an account with the local Central Depository System Corporation (CDSC) at their local broker in order to participate in the IPO. However, the editorial of the Kenyan daily The Nation was less enthusiastic, questioning "Why can't these foreign citizens buy shares at the market rate?" It appears old mindsets will die-hard and its going to take time to convince some pundits that capital raising should transcend our so-called "boundaries".

Age of Heroes the Original in Search Of
Age of Heroes - Forum
Mutants and Masterminds
This is -- Age of Heroes -- the original one (in case you saw the other add)
I am in search of one quality player willing to step in and fill a pair of shoes already designed and ready for play.
The character is a female Federal Agent of a sorts turned super hero having just recently gotten powers in a world where super types did not exists until well now -- she is a "Teleporter" think Portal but only she and what she carries can go through the portals and she can stick them in space and she does it without a Portal gun. Further she can reach through smaller portals to grab preattuned equipment from preset locations think a sort of super utility belt of normal and/or slightly superior to normal equipment -- so no super devices but a L.A.W. is fine for instance.
The game is MnM PL10 a bit darker PG18 theme but only as needed sticking more closer to a PG13 theme. The game had some slight restrictions but since the character is already designed and has been played these restrictions should be of no consequence as they will not affect you but just in case its a big deal there were some restrictions on character building (ask if it concerns you) -- but as I said the character is built and ready for play.
There are several other active and friendly players in the game posting rate is about 2-3 times a week and there is story content to occupy you as well.
Some kind of writing sample showing me you can role role play a fairly serious female character is all I really need that and a willingness to be friendly and active in the game.
Game Description:
A small group of friends are on vacation together (with their families: Optional) near the Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado. On their way home to the East coast they encounter something that will change their lives and the world forever. Suddenly they are endowed with super powers previously relegated to the fictional realms of comic books. What they find also has global and political implications beyond the matter of granting the PCs and a few others their powers...and no, it is not a cosmic cube, control rod, an alien craft or artifact.
Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little... push.

Yes, in order for students to maintain greater focus, and achieve more within the walls of school, separating the genders would be a critical step. The problem is that this would also result in a very different learning atmosphere where, although students may learn more, the social skills would be deemphasized, and this would arguably create personal development problems in some cases.
Multiple studies, observations, and current standings show that single-sex schools tend to out perform coed schools again and again. What the actual cause of this is just happens to be not exactly known though it is suggested it has something to do with a lack of competition relative to impressing others among other things.
Girls and boys need to socialize with each other there is of course the matter of sexual relations but that is completely normal for teenagers, that would still happen even if we segregated schools by sex, what is important is to solve a problem not to run away from it, and segregating schools isn't going to solve anything.
Segregating schools by sex would probably increase the amount of teenagers involved in sex as well as creating young adults who have been separated from members of the opposite sex in social situations for their whole life. School is a major source of social life for kids and by taking interaction with the opposite sex out much of their social life would be counter-productive.
In my opinion, schools should not be segregated by sex.
Every sex should be treated in a fair and equal way instead of being separated and treated differently. Also, segregated schools will make stereotypes of sex. They would not be able to respect each other. WHen they grow up, they might not be able to adapt to the soiety,
Also, segregated schools require so much money including finding the teachers, making classrooms, and making educational systems.

An Hour or Two1:44:00 PM
I realized only after getting dressed that this is almost exactly the same outfit as in my last post. Ruffly dress tucked into a floral skirt! 1970s thrifted bag! Lennon sunnies! Whoops. Well, I did really, really like what I wore on Saturday. I'm not sorry.
These earrings are so glorious. The wind wouldn't allow me to take a decent picture of them.
And the skirt! It's made from an old pair of culottes. I decided the print was that exact brand of ugly that lights up my hipstery little soul. 80s culottes are not a good look for me (or really anyone), though, so I ripped out part of the seam and sewed a straight line down the front. It was really simple and really fun! I know it doesn't exactly look like an expert alteration, but I am talentless and therefor proud of myself. I plan on raiding thrift stores and the like for culottes from now on.
I make a lot of weird faces. I know.
I think I'm becoming a lipstick person. Oh dear. Today I mixed Covergirl's "divine" and "enchantress" shades together to get this light pinky purple. Delightful.
Dress, worn as a top & Bag: Thrifted @ Goodwill
Skirt: Came to me from Soup for the Masses as shorts. I made them into a skirt.
Earrings: Free bin
Sunnies: Ebay
Sandals: Anthropologie

Discussion in 'iPad General Discussions' started by pastan, Mar 14, 2011.
I think you will have to do it one by one in the Contact app--I don't know of a way to delete ll at once. Click on the contact, hit edit, hit "delete contact." at the bottom of the page.
I think so too. One. by. one.
Connect your iPad to your computer and delete/edit your contacts all at once that way.
Really? Why would that make any difference?
If you are currently syncing with a service like MobileMe or other contacts, go to you server account in Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars >> Accounts and turn off the Contacts sync. It should give you an option to delete all your contacts form the iPad.
Similarly, if you create a new account that syncs contacts you should be given an option to merge the existing ones, or overwrite new ones. You can use this if you have an account that has a contact address book that is empty. For instance, I have a Yahoo email account. I could sync contacts from it, but that address book is empty, so I could replace all my existing contacts with the empty one. This will only work if there is no account already being synced with.
Another option would be to use iTunes. Connect your device to the computer, go to iTunes, and select your iPad from the Devices list. Go to the Info tab at the top. Under Sync Address Book Contacts, choose any available contact sync source. Now chose Selected Groups, and make sure all the group checkboxes are NOT checked.
Go to the bottom of the page and in the Advanced box where it says Replace information on this iPad, check the Contacts box.
Be sure to go back and turn off the Contact syncing when you are done.
Good reply Twerppoet. I guess i've never considered wanting to delete all my contacts so I wasn't thinking of working through Itunes which I work hard to avoid LOL.
iTunes is a big wrinkly behemoth, which is it's biggest problem. But that also means there are all kinds of little tricks and features hidden in the cracks. You just have to be careful and know what you are doing. And back up your library. Always have a good backup.
And if you don't back up your iPad media through iTunes, then use an alternative. Just because iTunes isn't perfect doesn't mean the iPad is better with nothing.
delete all contacts from ipad
connect ipad to mac
goto itunes
look to left column
look for devices
under devices is (your) ipads name
click on (your) ipads name
look to right
find the contact icon <<contacts>>
left click contact icon and drag to trash
part 1 is done.
goto bottom right corner of screen
click sync or update tab
contacts on your ipad s/b empty
That sounded so beautifully simple I had to give it a dry run, but I can't duplicate your steps.
The only place I can find a Contacts icon is on the Apps screen. You can't delete the Contacts app, and if you could I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to. It would be a pain to get back.


text: At 43, and thrice married, Harris knows something about faltering relationships and when it's best just to bail out. That theme arises in Paul Kennerley's title song, accented with the sound of Celtic pipes and whistle, in which a couple realizes they've lost touch with each other, but commit to renewing their love because neither could stand the pain of separation. There are upbeat moments in Brand New Dance, too, such as "Sweet Dreams of You," on which Richard Bennett's tremolo guitar jars like an earthquake, and "Rollin' and Ramblin' (The Death of Hank Williams)," a song that paints an unforgettable image of Williams' body traveling home on a night train, when "the whistle sang the bluest note/Like it came from his own throat." Harris has lost some of her upper-range power through the years, but as usual, she turns in a spellbinding performance, one that reinforces her reputation as one of the most soulful country singers.

MUSIC MONDAY// Spring Something4/06/2015 01:30:00 AM
Hello Lovelies! I hope that spring is finally coming around your area and it's warming up your spirits. Hong Kong kind of skipped seasons and is pretty much in summer mode and I am melting my insides out as I type this. I love warm weather, so I'm not complaining... much, and I thought I'd share this playlist to welcome the sun. This was quite a hard playlist for me to put together because in my brain there are summer songs and there are winter songs, and all songs can pretty much fall into those two categories. So this playlist is a new kind of venture for me. While compiling the songs I was thinking about the warming weather and the thawing of ice (even though there is barely even rain here in Hong Kong let alone ice) and I wanted to capture that feeling of the ice slowly melting away and the excitement of warmer months finally coming around. Let me know your favorite tracks down below, or if you have any songs that you think capture the essence of spring. I'm always looking for new music and I'd love to hear your spring tracks!

I received one of those 'shared emails' recently and decided it was too interesting not to share and just 'delete'. I'm rather a fan of WD-40 - I know it's good for squeaking doors but.. I had no idea it would perform such miracles as loosening arthritic joints (I am yet to try it although the left knee could do with a spray (!) while I am writing this!) The main ingredient is fish oil - perhaps we could squirt it down our throats (only joking!) instead of swallowing a mountain of fish oil tablets. I was also surprised that there is actually a website for it - here.
|WD-40 - just so you know what I am talking about!
Firstly what is WD-40 - other than having a funny name, and using fish oil?! Well it means Water Displacement Number 40 (silly old you not knowing that!) The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. It was created in 1953 by 3 technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound (whatever that means!) They were successful with the fourtieth formulation (if at first you don't succeed then try, try again!) - hence WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East one of the founders (I hope they made loads of money!) says there is nothing in WD-40 that will hurt you.
So here are just a few uses - the website states there are over 2000! (I haven't test run ... but this will get you thinking!)
1. Spray on a spotty water-marked shower screens (plastic or glass!)
2. Protects silver from tarnishing
2. Protects silver from tarnishing
3. Removes road tar and grime from cars
4. Removes spray paint which has vandalised the duco of a car

5. Cleans and lubricates guitar 20 strings
6. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery
7. Keeps flies off cows (just what I need!)
8. Restores and cleans blackboards
9. Removes lipstick stains (useful for collars!)
10. Loosens stubborn zips (no comment!)
11. Untangles jewellery chains
12. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks and polishes up cook tops (no excuse now)
13. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill
14. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
15. Removes tomato stains from clothing
16. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors
17. Keeps scissors working smoothly
18. Removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Just remember to open windows if you have a lot of marks (too much hooten annie square dancing in your house!)
19. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors (the only thing I have ever used if for!)
19. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors (the only thing I have ever used if for!)
20. Remove dead insects or they will eat away the finish on your car
21. Remove crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean cloth
22. Lubricates sticking window tracks and makes them easier to open
23. Restores and cleans leather car dashboards
24. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles
25. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
26. Lubricates wheel sprockets (?!) on bicycles
27. Lubricates fan belts and keeps them running smoothly
28. Keeps rust from forming on saws, saw blades and other tools.
29. Removes splattered grease on stove
30. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging
31. Lubricates prosthetic limbs (thank goodness I haven't needed to - yet)
32. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell) - I wonder if it works for possums?
33. Removes all traces of duct tape
34. Spray it on arms, hands and knees to relieve arthritis pain
35. WD-40 attracts fish so why not spray a little on live bait or lures
36. Use it for gnat bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch
37. Spray garden posts around the sides to stop slugs/snails eating the plants
38. Removes chewing gum from everything
38. Removes chewing gum from everything
Sometimes 'mistake' inventions turn out to be amazing. Rather like the 3M Post-it Notes (discovered in 1968 because Dr Spencer Silver attempted to develop a super-strong adhesive but 'accidentally' created a low-tack reusable pressure-sensitive adhesive!) Stories like Mistake Out (Tippex) (invented by Bette Nesmith Graham in 1956 to cover her mistakes on the typewriter. She sold the company to Gillette in 1979 for US$47.5 million - woo hoo) What a success!

Over the weekend we had beautiful sunshine and warmth. I spent the whole weekend in the garden and it was bliss.
My veggies were ready to plant and so I enjoyed hours of planting, watering and beaming at my new patch.
I have planted runner beans, onions, spinach and red and green lettuce here and in our other flower beds I planted Cosmos, Marigolds and moved some Evening Primroses.
The salad is droopy here but now we've had more rain it's perked right up. I wonder when it'll be ready to eat. I need to read more in the gardening books lol.

The folks who brought you the After Dark Horrorfest — a collection of eight scary movies playing as a collective — turn their sights to the gritty no-nonsense action picture with five films bundled under the banner "After Dark Action."
The movies aren't connected in any way except that they're being released together, yet taken as a whole, patterns do emerge — mysterious strangers new to town, bags of mislaid cash, the unexpected cameo by a slightly tarnished star, punches thrown, shots fired and feisty, capable women dressed in tank tops relegated to supporting roles.
In many ways, "El Gringo" is indicative of both the best and the worst the series has to offer. A riff on spaghetti westerns and to a lesser extent Robert Rodriguez's "Desperado," the film, directed by Eduardo Rodriguez (no relation) and written by Jonathan W. Stokes, follows its nameless lead as he tries to make a getaway with an ill-gotten bag of cash, when all he really wants is a glass of fresh water. It's not bad exactly, but it's not especially notable either. Christian Slater fills the cameo quotient.
"Stash House" and "The Philly Kid" are the weakest entries. "Stash House" is about a young couple (Sean Faris, Briana Evigan) under siege after discovering the foreclosed home they've bought is full of a drug gang's supply. Dolph Lundgren appears as an oddly sympathetic heavy. "The Philly Kid" attempts to locate a drama within the world of mixed martial arts fighting, when all it really wants to do is show some fights.

WS Journal-
Wells Fargo & Co. said Friday it projected an overall $10.7 billion loss if the U.S. economy were to go through a severe downturn during a 2 1/4 year period ending June 30, 2017.
The bank projected losses of $57.6 billion — $46.1 billion for loan losses, $9.6 billion in trading and counterparty credit, and $1.9 billion in investment securities.
Much of the losses would be offset by $46.9 billion in fee and loan revenue minus noninterest expense.
Wells Fargo is among 31 bank holding companies required by the Federal Reserve to conduct stress-test assessments twice annually. The assessments are designed to gauge the potential impact of a severe downturn on bank operations and capital levels as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

FOR TODAY ~ August 30, 2010 (Is it seriously almost September?)
Outside my window... it's dark. The days are still hot but not as hot. Praying for rain soon.
I am thinking... about everything that I need to do.
Tonight: prepare for school tomorrow.
This week: learning music for the children's choir class that I will be teaching soon.
I am thankful ... for David's promotion and pay raise.
From the learning rooms... Native Americans, Christopher Columbus and other explorers. We are loving Sonlight! The Little ones are working on the letter L and "little" things. You can visit our homeschool "room" by going here.
From the kitchen... I've not been very inspired in the kitchen lately. I've made plans to visit Tammy's Recipes this week and I hope that it inspires me a bit more.
I am creating... plans mainly… there's not much time for crafting right now but I do have lots of UFOs (unfinished objects) floating around.
In the garden… Not much at all. I had plans to plant a fall garden this past weekend and I spent all day Saturday on the couch because I felt badly. (allergies...)
I am reading... Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp~ We are going through a video series at church by the author of this book. Great parenting advice.
I am hoping... that I feel better soon, we get rain soon, and that I figure out a schedule for our school that will work with four grade levels going on at the same time! Others do it so I know I can too…by the grace of God!
I am hearing... the quiet of a house when the little ones are in bed.
Around the house... Piles of laundry to be folded and swept floors that need to be mopped…school has started so the house is not as neat as I'd like.
One of my favorite things... zinnias in the garden. The butterflies and hummingbirds love them. Last week on a particularly rough day, I sat on my swing and watched two butterflies fluttering around the pink zinnias. We will most definitely plant them again next year.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Missions begins at church tomorrow night. I am going to go to choir even if I croak like a bullfrog with these silly allergies. They may ask me to leave the soprano section and go to the bass section. ;) We are spending Labor Day weekend at home and will probably do some cooking out and swimming.
Here is a picture for thought I am sharing…
A picture of our little athlete. She is seriously one athletic little girl. And did I mention that she is very girly too. She had a blast playing basketball at the family reunion.
To visit other daybooks, please be sure to visit The Simple Woman's Daybook.

If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid or the Big Nate books, this book is right up your alley! Timmy Failure is a detective with a sidekick, Total (who is a lazy 1,500 pound polar bear). Timmy illustrates his stories (Total tried, but he does not draw as well as Timmy). This book is very funny, and there are more in this series if you like this first book. Fun fact: The author, Stephen Pastis, draws the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" that appears in newspapers.

text: Does anybody know what that crazy rattle is on the Mini's. Sounds like you dragging a bunch of tin cans behind ya. Is that really what it sounds like when you push a Mini? If it is I'm so glad I never bought one. It sounds like there is a problem with the water pump or something. Really gets on my nerves. Is there a separate sound package I could use? Thanks.

Evercool Booster Cool Wrist Pad Review
Over the years, people have looked for solutions to keep their hands cool while using a mouse or keyboard. The Evercool Booster is one such device, using two USB powered fans to send air past your 'mousing' hand to keep a cool breeze flowing. In theory it sounds like a good idea, but will it hold up in practice?
Closer Look:
The Evercool Booster comes packaged in a blister back, which is unfortunate. The packaging shows the product and even allows you to try placing your hand in it. The back has several product images and a list of the specifications and features.
Inside the packaging is the Booster itself, as well as a USB to DC cable used to power the device. The power cable is very similar to those seen on other similar Evercool products.
The Booster itself has two small fans on either side of a dip that is designed to fit your wrist. These two small fans push air out past your hand while the black foam in the wrist cradle is soft and makes it a little more bearable to use the device. The power fits into the right side of the Booster, which could be a problem for people with their computers on their left. The back is curved down, presumably for aesthetics, and has several slits to allow airflow.

It's been another busy week with another mixed bag of weather.
I've done a bit more foraging and cooking this week, finding an assortment of treasures including jelly ear fungus and fresh young radish shoots.
Wild rabbit will also be on the menu at some point. It ran out into the road as I was driving back to the farm one evening last week. There are no foxes or other mesopredators here so it was still there the following morning and as rabbit is a rather lovely meat for cooking in.a stew I thought I may as well make use of it!
This week has also been one for exploring our shores here. We've had a couple of survey sessions looking for Green Ormers (Haliotis tuberculata) at Clonque bay and Longis Bay, the former in our Ramsar Site and the latter being one of the Wildlife Trust's Reserves.
Although we found no Ormers at Clonque and only one at Longis, it was still great to get out and explore the rocky shores and the creatures that live there. I've picked a few of my favourites here, some of these are pictures from earlier rockpooling trips too.
Here are the Ormers we found when we last had a survey back in October – they're tiny! Ormers have been a traditional food in the Channel Islands for centuries but now they are becoming more scarce. They can be up to 10cm long and can be gathered during any month with an 'r'. They are important on Alderney because this the most northerly site in Europe that they are found, they are not present in the UK.
Finally: mothing.
I ran the moth trap on Friday for the first time this year. Despite the dry and mild night there were only 4 moths in the trap, these were Engrailed Beauty (Ectropis bistortata), Common Quaker (Orthosia cerasi), Hebrew Character (Orthosia gothica) and Early Thorn (Selenia dentaria). The Early Thorn is a particularly distinctive moth as it holds its wings closed like a butterfly when at rest.
Hopefully I'll be able to keep up a weekly moth trapping session from now on to work on my ID and learn more about the species we have. There will be more surveys starting soon to and spring begins in earnest so more on all sorts of things to come!

It's been a while since I have not done a journal. I used to have an OD account too. Well, to tell you something about myself, I am in my early thirties – a single mother and has been single since my ex and I broke up which was 3 years ago. Struggling the every day life of moving on. I guess I'm still in the process of trying to get back all the pieces of me. It may sound pathetic but that's what I am. There are still nights when I cry myself to sleep. On the same time, trying to balance everything from work and personal issues.
I am still hoping that one day, I will be able to find my happiness and bring back all the pieces of me. Any advices on how to move on???

Useful Advice For Skin Care That Will Help Your Skin For The Better
If you have blemishes, try to rub in a little apple cider vinegar. This treatment can aid in restoring the moisture to skin, reducing dryness caused by acne. Apply every morning for best results. If you apply it at night the smell will transfer to your bedding.
Scented moisturizers usually contain artificial ingredients that are bad for skin, so choose unscented and hypoallergenic lotions. Dry skin can be caused by the alcohol contained in some products. Make sure to read all labels before buying. Avoid products that contain fragrances, dyes or alcohol.
Use a makeup sponge to apply sunscreen. Not only does applying sunscreen with a sponge let you avoid the greasy texture of the lotion, it also helps you spread it more evenly. Using a sponge to apply the sunscreen ensures that it is absorbed by the skin as efficiently as possible. This application method also prevents your hands from getting dirty.
If you want great skin, alcoholic beverages should be avoided. An occasional drink is okay, but too much can lead to oily skin and enlarged pores. Pores will then clog up and you'll end up with blemishes.
If chapped lips are an issue for you, you can create a hydrating lip balm to help soothe them. Just mix together honey, sour cream and cucumber. After it is ready, leave it on your lips for about 15 minutes. Then use warm water to rinse your lips and seal the moisture in by applying almond oil.
You need to be aware of what type of skin you have to fix skin problems. Knowing your skin type will help you select skin care products which will work with your skin, not against it. Understand your skin before starting any regimen.
Do not forget to protect your lips with moisture too. The air tends to get dry during the winter months. Be sure to apply a moisturizing lip balm to your lips to prevent painful chapped or cracked lips.
If your skin is oily, it is still important to use a moisturizer. Apply it after washing and before putting make-up on. A moisturizer is helpful in balancing your skin. It is important to not dry your skin out if you have oily skin because it will only make your skin become even more oily.
Jasmine is an excellent extract to use to moisturize dry skin. Jasmine has been known for hundreds of years to increase the health and vitality of your skin. It is a very smooth and soothing extract that has the added benefit of antioxidants. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to find than common moisturizers. It can be much more expensive also.
Your skin will look better if you drink lots of water. Skin cells will lack hydration without at least 64 ounces of water every day. This causes skin to become itchy, dry, and irritable. To prevent this from happening, and to make your skin resilient, be sure to drink enough water regularly.
Many body washes actually work to dry the skin. Use body washes with moisturizing agents and vitamins included. Vitamins are good for regenerating the skin and moisturizing agents prevent dryness.
You can provide the absolute royal treatment for your hand for less wrinkles, soft skin, and much brighter nails as well. Start off by applying a sugar scrub that can be left to sit for a minute or two. Rinse thoroughly, then coat your hands in rich moisturizing cream. Rub the cream thoroughly into your hands and cuticles. Then, give yourself a manicure and admire how great it looks.
Having a humidifier at home and if you can, at work, can prevent dry skin. This will help keep your skin moisturized. If you're living somewhere that's dry, then you will find that a humidifier keeps skin less itchy as well. Lots of humidifier models can be had at low prices.
Use gloves when you wash dishes or clothes to stop your hands from getting dry and cracked. Remember that your hands are exposed to both more external irritants and more washings than the rest of your skin, meaning that your hands require frequent moisturizing and protection. Use a night cream on your hands once weekly, too.
Smoking prematurely ages you and harms your skin. The blood vessels that are in your face face get restricted when you smoke, which will decrease the blood flow to the face. Facial expressions people repetitively make during smoking can contribute to facial wrinkles.
If you do have allergies to certain ingredients in skincare, then keep searching until you find something that works. If it has been a while since your reaction, and you wish to try a product again, test it by applying a small amount to an inconspicuous location on the inside of your arm.
To prevent dry skin in the winter time you should add a humidifier to your home. If you have a furnace in your home, this can cause the air in it to be very dry, which can deplete moisture from your skin and increase static in your hair. You can add moisture to the room in which you spend the bulk of www.navoigarden.com read about diy organic cosmetics recipes your time by setting up a humidifier.
Use the tips that you learned from this article to begin a regimen that will keep your skin healthy for the length of your life. You are sure to benefit from the information that you learned from this article and find the tips that you needed to improve the looks and feel of your skin.

Lindsay Lohan's dad desperate to get her back in rehab
The Mean Girls star was charged with third degree misdemeanour assault following the spat at Manhattan hotspot Club Avenue, and released, and now her estranged father Michael is urging his daughter to seek help.
He tells HollyScoop.com, "I just want her to go into rehab. I love her and I just want her to get the help she needs."
And in a bid to help speed up her decision making, Michael claims he has a spot waiting for her at the Betty Ford Clinic in California, where Lohan spent time in 2010.
She has also previously checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah.
Meanwhile, Michael admits he's having trouble reaching his daughter following her latest arrest - because she is refusing to speak with him after he secretly recorded his phone call with Lindsay following her fight with her mum Dina in October (12) - and then released it to the media.
He adds, "I have called, but of course she has not picked up."

With the Republican party nominating convention in Cleveland right around the bend, Donald Trump's support among delegates still isn't in the bag. Although that seems like bad news – both for the candidate and for the party – what happens between now and the floor vote could end up bringing the drama over the Donald to a decent conclusion.
To be sure, Trump's opponents are busy nibbling away at his support from the edges as well as from the center of the party. A handful of Republicans, for instance, are pushing delegates to dump Trump over just one issue – his tax returns. In a letter, party activists in Vermont and Virginia called on the conventioneers to exercise "due diligence" and set "an acceptable standard for future elections."
And then, surprise surprise, there's a federal lawsuit. Virginia Republican delegate Beau Correll filed a First Amendment challenge to Virginia law, which requires state delegates to vote "for the candidate receiving the most votes in the primary."
But another group is aiming right for the heart of Trump's claim to inevitability. Free the Delegates, an independent Republican group, claims about 400 delegates are prepared to jump ship the minute they're allowed to vote their conscience. The group believes it has a green light from the party leadership, or what's left of it; on "Meet the Press," Speaker Paul Ryan said, "it is not my job to tell delegates what to do, what not to do, or to weigh in on things like that. They write the rules. They make their decisions." It all comes down to a planned vote on "unbinding" the delegates.Read the rest of this op-ed HERE.

What does workwear mean to you? I mean, when I was little I always thought you had to either wear a uniform or a suit when you 'got a job' and obviously we know this isn't true!
Workwear is only something that I've started to really think about now that I've moved to a slightly more professional office. Not gonna lie, I used to wear dungarees when I worked at UNiDAYS and it was totally normal. Now, I have a lot more client meetings and I don't feel as productive if I'm not wearing what I class as my 'workwear'. I feel like I've said 'workwear' way too many times now but let's just roll with it shall we. I have three staples when it comes to getting dressed for the office and I wanted to share a little inspiration with you babes just in case you fancy a workwear wardrobe update!

The major European markets of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Paris transacted a total of 19.4MW of IT power in Q1, well above the quarterly 5 year take-up average of 15.8MW. This takes the total take-up for the last two quarters to over 40MW, according to the latest data from global real estate advisor CBRE.
The buzz of activity in Q1 can in part be attributed to strong performances in London and especially Frankfurt, with the two markets seeing 14.2MW of IT power sold between them in the quarter, it says. Continued demand from IT Infrastructure firms as well as particularly strong performances from a handful of operators has ensured a solid start to the year.
Mitul Patel, Associate Director, Data Centre Solutions at CBRE commented: "Q1 has given us a strong platform to build from and the key now is continued consistency across the major markets as the year goes on. There seems to be a buzz in the air which operators will clearly hope translates into physical transactions."
"The competitive landscape across the four major markets will see significant change over the course of the year. The recent headline of Digital Realty winning the bidding process to acquire the Telecity divestment properties from the new Equinix entity has the potential to shake things up, especially in Frankfurt where Digital Realty does not yet have a presence."

Mackenzie's Baptism
I know I'm THE WORST when it comes to staying on top of our blog, life has a funny way of getting in the way of things you'd like to do. Most recently I've gone back to school to get my interior design degree, so with all that happens here in our house I've got homework to top it all off. Some of you have asked if I would post some pics of what I've been doing as far as my homework goes, but I'll post those another time.
This last weekend we had Mackenzie's baptism, she got to share her baptism day with Sam and it was wonderful!! She was a little nervous, and after getting her white jumpsuit on she vowed she wouldn't leave the bathroom because she didn't want to be seen in it. I think she thought she'd put it on and just hop right into the faunt and be done with it before anyone even got there. After some reassurance and seeing Dad in his lovely jumpsuit she felt a little better about her attire. You could tell she wasn't completely comfortable having all the kids watching her, but she was a champ and did great. When I was in the bathroom helping her get dressed she kept saying "Mom that was so fun", I do agree it was pretty fun. When we got home all the other kids kept asking when they could get baptized, Mackenzie has always been a great example for them. We are very proud of her and feel blessed everyday by all the Lord has given us.

Beautiful photo of your beautiful girl! It sounds like a great day! What's a baptism without a few anxieties (even if they are fashion-related)? I can't believe you're back in school! You'll make a great interior designer. I can't imagine doing homework on top of everything else a mom has to do, but if anyone can do it, you can.

How is she old enough to be baptized! She's a gorgeous little girl, Erin! You are one inspiring mother. I hope with my 2 I can be as patient as you are with your little ones! Glad the day was so good! Congratulations.

What a wonderful day that was. And having the jumpsuit anxiety just gave it more juice...as dear Mackenzie overcame some of her fears to choose the right! Way to go, my darling girl! And we're so proud of you, Erin, for finishing your degree. Wouldn't it be fun if you AND Tim walked graduation together? What a great and inspiring picture for your kids to see. And I guess we should all remember not to "run faster than we have strength." Hard not to, though...

London: McLaren will give Lewis Hamilton time off ahead of next week`s German Grand Prix after the 2008 Formula One champion said he feared burnout under the burden of media and sponsorship commitments.
"I think Lewis has done too much coming into this grand prix," team principal Martin Whitmarsh said after Sunday`s British race at Silverstone, a disappointing afternoon for his men.
"We`ve managed to organise a bit of a break for him before Germany, which I know he wants. Then he has a big break after that in August as well.
"It`s one of those things. He is a world superstar and lots of people want lots of his time, but we`re generally being criticised for protecting him too much, aren`t we?," added Whitmarsh.
Hamilton qualified only 10th on Saturday for his home race and there were plenty of long faces in the McLaren motorhome after a session that showed just how much ground the team had to make up on Red Bull and Ferrari.
The Briton was far happier on Sunday after making a storming start to the race in the damp conditions and finishing fourth with a thrilling battle to the line against Ferrari`s Felipe Massa after being told by the team to save fuel.
He also managed to stay out of trouble with the stewards, something of a rarity for him this season.
"He drove a fantastic race," said Whitmarsh. "He drove without a mistake, with the right levels of passion and aggression and above all with the right level of discipline and control."
The news he would get some time off before the Nuerburgring was welcomed by Hamilton, who is 95 points adrift of Red Bull`s world champion and runaway leader Sebastian Vettel and level with team mate Jenson Button in fourth with 10 races remaining.
"I was supposed to be working tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday, and I basically said `No way` because I`ve been in England like a week or whatever, so it has been quite busy here," he said after the race.
"Then I was supposed to be flying to India for a day on Wednesday, in and out within a day. Fortunately, for some reason, it got cancelled. "
"So that`s good. I get to be in one place for a good period of time and do some training, get my mind clear for the next race," added the 26-year-old.
"Hopefully that gives the team some time to clarify the rules, because we lost a lot this weekend, and (Ferrari`s) Fernando (Alonso) told me that they didn`t lose anything, and the Red Bulls clearly didn`t lose anything either.
"Hopefully we can catch it back, I don`t know how we will."
The race weekend at Silverstone was overshadowed by arguments about the governing body`s clampdown on engine regulations.
Under the tighter rules, teams were told they could no longer use engine electronics to gain an aerodynamic advantage by ensuring a constant flow of exhaust gases through the rear of the car even when a driver was braking.
After directive and counter-directive, the governing FIA ultimately said it would go back to the situation before Silverstone if all the teams agreed, something that was secured on Sunday afternoon.
"Whatever it (the rule) is, we`ll do our best to improve the car and make sure it`s competitive at the next race," said Whitmarsh.

Hagerstown Mayor Robert E. Bruchey II was readmitted to the hospital Thursday afternoon for treatment of a bacterial sinus infection, said Karen Giffin, the city's spokeswoman.
"The mayor wants to reassure the public that his latest hospitalization is not related to his heart condition," Giffin said.
Hospital officials said Thursday night they had no information on Bruchey's condition.
Bruchey, 39, underwent angioplasty on March 11 at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
An angioplasty is done by attaching a balloon to a heart catheter. The balloon is inflated over the narrowed areas in the heart, pressing any plaque against the vessel walls, according to a technician in the cardiac catheterization lab at Washington County Hospital. The procedure widens the opening and increases blood flow.
The mayor had visited his cardiologist for a scheduled appointment on March 9 and was admitted to Washington County Hospital when doctors detected irregularities in his heart.

NEW YORK -- The Mets have officially severed ties with Chris Young. They released the outfielder tonight.
He had been designated for assignment a week ago after batting .205 in 287 plate appearances.
* * *
Jenrry Mejia had a clean ninth inning to pick up his 18th save of the season in the Mets 3-2 win over the Cubs. The closer and manager Terry Collins both believe that rest did him some good.
After not pitching for four days, he pitched a scoreless inning Thursday night and then again tonight. Before that, Mejia had struggled some over his last few appearances and blew a save in the Mets 7-6 loss to the Phillies Sunday.
"I think the rest got some life back in his arm," Collins said.

Final installment of the four-volume fantasy cycle (Monsters of the Earth, 2013, etc.) featuring another existential threat to Carce, Drake's analogue of Rome circa 30 C.E.
Gaius Alphenus Saxa, an enormously rich senator and absentee governor of Lusitania, speaks with Corylus, soldier, part-dryad, and best friend of Saxa's son Varus, regarding a plot against him by a rival senator, Sentius, who seemingly covets a magical object, the Ear of the Satyr, believed to be owned by Saxa. Meanwhile, Saxa's wife, Hedia, receives a delegation from India whose purpose is to plant a vine shoot in honor of the god Bacchus. Varus, a scholar and magician whose powers derive from visitations by the Sibyl, notices magicians among the delegation and befriends one, Bhiku. From him, Varus learns that their sponsor, King Govinda, another very powerful magician, intends to divert Bacchus' disruptive visitations from India to Italy. But, it emerges, Govinda's also meddling in sorceries from Anti-Thule, an ancient city menaced by a purulent, voracious, and unstoppable Blight that converts everything living into evil black slime. Soon, our heroes—Hedia; Varus; Saxa's feisty young daughter, Alphena; Corylus; and their teacher Pandareus, his role here limited to a handful of dull comments—are severally and together involved in various supernatural adventures, battling demons, consorting with gods, fighting dragons, and outwitting evildoers. This plot in summary sounds reasonable, but the individual elements, while imaginative enough, make little sense, and the narrative manifests in strangely blocky, almost mechanical prose reminiscent of late-issue Piers Anthony. The Classical setting is a big plus, as are the characters, who, by now, have thoroughly familiar personalities.
Should satisfy series regulars. Just about.

Don't underestimate the power of food to help keep you healthy. Researchers are finding more and more edible solutions to everyday ailments. Here are five common foods that will help you fend off the flu this season.
Raw garlic – This pungent superfood is a powerful flu fighter. Garlic contains compounds called allion and allicin, which have direct antiviral effects. To get the most out of garlic's flu-fighting properties, it's best to chew a raw clove every three or four hours. If you can't bear the taste, try cutting cloves into pieces and swallowing them like pills. Still not in love with idea of eating raw garlic? Add a few extra cloves to a soup or stir-fry, which will still have some effect as antimicrobial agents.
Onions – Like garlic, onions also contain the antimicrobial compounds allion and allicin. To get this superfood's full flu-fighting action, try consuming a serving of raw onions every few hours. If that seems unpalatable, add extra servings to your meals, like in French onion soup.
Spices – Spices such as turmeric, cloves and cinnamon are packed with antioxidants, which help improve the function of the immune system. Consuming a teaspoon of spices every day can help ward off the flu. Try mixing some cinnamon into your morning oatmeal or sprinkling extra nutmeg over a bowl of applesauce.
Berries – All berries have high concentrations of antioxidants to help fight off flu viruses, but blueberries pack the most punch. When tested against other foods, blueberries were found to have more antioxidants than 40 other fruits and vegetables. Eating at least one serving (1/2 cup or 125 mL) of raw berries every day can help you stay healthy during the flu season.
Chicken Noodle Soup – Grandma was right to load you up with her own special brew. Researchers are finding that soup works to ward off viruses. One theory is that hot soup raises the temperature in the nose and throat, which creates an unwelcoming environment for viruses that thrive in cool and dry places. The store-bought kind might not be as effective, so make up a big batch at home and freeze what you don't use!
