Auxier Focus Fund Outperformed The S&P 500 Index As Of July 31, 2008 And Since Inception; Jeff Auxier Continues Eating His Own Cooking, Refuses Personal Pay Raises And Bonuses; Morningstar Says, "This Mutual Fund Deserves More Attention…Investors Are In Good Hands."
(See bullet points for Average Annual Returns as of 06/30/08)
August 2008, Lake Oswego, OR—Jeff Auxier believes Wall Street's bleak headlines mask the next big—and historic—story: A generational buying opportunity for long term investors. "Patient investors live for these historic conditions," says Auxier. "This is shaping up to be a really exciting time." The founder and manager of Auxier Asset Mgt. and the 4 star Auxier Focus Fund, says prices are starting to hit his buy points. (The Overall Morningstar rating is 4 stars among 939 Moderate Allocations Funds as of 07/31/08. Derived from a weighted average of the risk-adjusted performance figure associated with its 3 and 5 year Morningstar Ratings metrics.) "We started buying in July much more aggressively than we have in a long time," says Auxier. Years ago, Auxier, a devoted student of market history, predicted the current purging of disguised financial leverage, greed and easy money. He also forecasted a long-awaited chance to scoop up bargains left in the ruins of a global slowdown and unprecedented credit losses. Auxier deliberately lives far from Wall Street's pack mentality, on a 118 acre farm (hazelnuts, cattle and wheat). That independence, his 25 years of investment experience, investing his whole retirement into his Fund, a company policy he will not sell shares while still manager, and his passion for relentless research, have always distinguished the Auxier Focus Fund.

Headlines And Story Ideas From "The Auxier Report"
Wall Street Forgets Lessons From Enron, Again–Why many issues yielding 7-15% today are trading at junk levels, yet the ratings agencies still maintain A or better ratings. Enron had investment grade rating even after stock plunged from $80 to $3.
Buckle Up For Fast And Furious Changes In Financial Stocks—Many bank stocks have recently surpassed declines of last thrift crisis. In 1982 recession, stocks rebounded before economy was in the clear to the tune of 40% in just 90 days
Cool Warning On Energy-Related Investments—What we can learn from history and parabolic moves in an investment class marking the top of a mania.
"Generational Investment Opportunities"—How this period of punishing bad market behavior opens door to putting money to work on historic bargains.
An Oxymoron—"Safe" Government Bonds–Do they deserve their AAA bond credit rating?
How Consumers May Pay For Government Bailouts—Companies seeking price increases in excess of 20%
Believe It! The Consumer Recession Is Here
The Auxier Difference
Eating his own cooking–Jeff invests his entire personal retirement (more than 140,000 shares) into his own Fund and continues to contribute. Every member of the Auxier Focus Fund team has significant percentages of their personal retirement invested in AUXFX.
Stewardship—Vowed he will not sell a single share while still manager. Prior to starting AUXFX, Jeff served as a member of the Chairman's Council, Senior Vice President of Investments and Senior Portfolio Management Director for Smith Barney, where he initiated policies aimed at greater transparency and better serving client interests.
Compensation—Since founding Auxier Asset Mgt. and the Auxier Focus Fund, Auxier has never taken a bonus and chooses to keep his personal compensation below that of most of his peers.
Experience— While most fund managers have less than 5 years experience at the job, Jeff has 25 years guiding investors through the market's many moods—the '83 bubble, '87 stock market crash, '90's thrift crisis, '93 Mexican peso crisis, '98 Asian meltdown, and the 2000-2002 tech/telecom crash. "We believe the benefit of our fairly conservative orientation becomes even more apparent in difficult market conditions," says Jeff.
Fund Size–One fund, that is nimble with broad investment freedom. A super-sized fund is not our goal.
Awards For "Honor, Integrity and Knowledge"—Auxier is recipient (1993) of the Consulting Group Bob Dwyer Award, which honors the Portfolio Manager whose "integrity, knowledge and commitment to the discipline of investment management exemplifies the highest standards." Money magazine awarded Jeff their All-Star Broker Award two years in a row (1997 and 1998).
Lifestyle—Auxier intentionally lives and works far from the greed and pack-mentality of Wall Street. At his 108 acre profitable farm and his nearby office, Jeff and his team are able to conduct the kind of independent thinking they feel is critical to their goal of staying ahead of the pack—not chasing it. Jeff sees similarities in investing and life on his 108 acre Oregon farm outside Portland, Oregon and a 2,000 acre ranch in Central Oregon, which he shares with cougar, antelope and wild boar. "Both jobs take extremely intense work and involve consideration of price, value, margin of safety and wise allocation of capital. This lifestyle keeps you humble and focused on the rewards of hard work. For me, this job is a steward of investors' hard-earned money. I can't imagine doing anything else."

The Fund may invest in value and/or growth stocks. Investments in value stocks are subject to risk that their intrinsic value may never be realized and investments in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. In addition, the Fund may invest in smaller companies which generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock. Moreover, if the Fund's portfolio is overweighted in a sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than a fund that is not overweighted in that sector.

For the period ended 07/31/2008, the Fund's Overall Morningstar Rating was 4 stars. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for the Fund is derived from a weighted- average of the performance figures associated with its 3- and 5-year Morningstar Rating metrics. The Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S. domiciled Moderate Allocation funds over the following time periods:939 funds in the last three years and 706 funds in the last five years. With respect to these Moderate Allocation funds, the Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 3 stars and 4 stars for the 3- and 5-year periods, respectively. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Lipper ratings for Preservation reflect funds' historical loss avoidance relative to other funds within the same asset class, as of 7/31/2008. The ratings are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Preservation metric over three-, .five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable). The highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leader or a score of 5 for Preservation, the next 20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3, and the next 20% are scored 2, and the lowest 20% are scored 1. Preservation ratings are relative, rather than absolute, measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for Preservation may still experience losses periodically; those losses may be larger for equity and mixed equity funds than for fixed income funds. The Auxier Focus Fund, in Lipper's Multi-Cap Value classification, received the following ratings for the 3- and 5-year periods, respectively: Preservation (in Equity asset class): Lipper Leader (9043 funds), and Lipper Leader (7238 funds).

Colman in Flowers is bloomin' brilliant, but avoid another Netflix offering
By Brad Newsome
July 18, 2019 — 12.00am
With so many entertainment options, it's easy to miss brilliant TV shows, movies and documentaries. Here are the ones to hit play on, or skip.
Olivia Colman has been enjoying a purple patch that has lasted half a decade already. From Broadchurch to Fleabag to her Golden Globe-winning turn in The Night Manager and her Oscar for The Favourite, she continues to produce brilliantly judged, emotionally authentic performances as enormously different women. And we haven't yet even had a proper look at her as the Queen in the forthcoming season of The Crown.
Olivia Colman quietly triumphs once again in Flowers, which is about an anxious woman and her deeply depressed husband (Julian Barrett).
The quality of Colman's performances is matched by the astuteness with which she chooses the projects in which she involves herself. In Flowers, a small but perfectly formed emotional freight train of a tar-black British comedy she found one that certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, but which will leave a lasting impact on those with which it resonates.
Daniel Rigby and Sophia Di Martino star in Flowers.
Colman plays one Deborah Flower, a middle-aged Englishwoman whose desperation and anxiety might be familiar but are the product of distinctly unusual circumstances. Deborah lives in a big but mossily dilapidated country house and remains barely married to her deeply depressed husband, Maurice (The Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt), who writes books of deeply dark poetry for children. Those books are illustrated by Maurice's slightly bonkers Japanese artist-cum-manservant, Shun (series creator Will Sharpe).
Also living with them are their adult children: gloomy, reclusive musical-genius daughter, Amy (Sophia Di Martino), and their unsuccessful, narcissistically aggrieved creep of a son, Donald (Daniel Rigby). And also Maurice's mum (Leila Hoffman), who suffers from dementia.
It's all quite heightened – sometimes high into the realm of the surreal – but the emotional truths keep coming through like punches to the gut. At first Deborah is so desperate for male validation that she reacts giddily to sexual suggestion that is manifestly not forthcoming from her neighbour's builders. But across the six short episodes of the first season she proves anything but a one-dimensional needy case. As character arcs and roller-coasters go, Deborah's is one that demands an actor of Colman's versatility and gravid vulnerability.
The rest of the cast is similarly brilliant as Sharpe's scripts examine the cruel intractability of some people's depressions, and the limits of their loved ones when it comes to dealing with it. When Sharpe's own character suddenly takes centre stage it's a reminder of how often anglophone entertainment erases the inner lives of Asian characters. Tough telly but funny and true.
Rewind This!
VHS cassettes aren't merely relics of a recently bygone era. As this exuberant, feature-length documentary shows, they represent a revolution in both art and commerce; they redefined pop-culture around the world; and they retain to this day countless creative works and daggy aerobics videos that have never been transferred to any other format. Oh, and for many American obsessives they also remain a way of life. Director Josh Johnson highlights the unprecedented creative boom the technology created. The video-rental stores that suddenly popped up everywhere had to fill their shelves with something, so anyone who could shoot their own weird, low-budget video could not only get it to the public but have it physically sitting alongside major-studio films. Naturally enough, Johnson interviews movie-makers like Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case) and Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger) who did well out of the format. But there are also others for whom the pause and rewind buttons provided a film school at home; artists who made a living painting box covers for crummy movies; and lots of seriously dedicated modern-day collectors. Marvellous.
Brian Johnson's Life on the Road
Surely nobody in the world wakes up happier each day than AC/DC singer Brian Johnson. Every time you see him he's erupting into cackles and getting up to verbal mischief in his wrought-iron Geordie accent. This terrific little series has Johnson meeting other old rockers on their home turf for leisurely, reflective chats about lives spent in rock'n'roll. The first episode, with The Who's Roger Daltrey, is an absolute ripper. Others include Robert Plant, Joe Elliott, Nick Mason and Lars Ulrich.
Lame: Another Life should have been left in space.
In space no one can hear you stink. Another Life starts out OK: a huge alien artifact lands on Earth, and astronaut Niko (Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff) has to lead a mission to the star it came from to find out what E.T. wants from us. Turns out that the US Space Force has done away with uniforms, so Niko's surly young crew can wear whatever nonsense they want. Niko is also going to have to bust some actual kung-fu moves on her mutinous deputy. Selma Blair plays a social-media monster. Lame.

Tess (Ella Purnell) continues to navigate Manhattan's high-end restaurant scene in Sweetbitter season two.
Midwestern mogwai Tess (Ella Purnell) continues her flibbertigibbet odyssey through the incoherent world of the high-end restaurant business in Manhattan. The place at which she's a waitress is meant to be run like a military operation in which any slip will result in you having your throat cut by uptight boss Howard (Paul Sparks, looking like a serial-killer Greg Proops), but everyone still has loads of time to play out their own petty dramas right in the middle of service. Sandra Bernhard wastes her own time appearing in Monday's episode.
David Attenborough's Tasmania
The great man himself isn't actually in Tasmania, but his authoritative voice adds to the imprimatur that natural selection has already bestowed upon the island's wonderful wildlife. There are big, fat platypuses that dwarf their mainland cousins and look like little crocodiles as they waddle insouciantly across the landscape. There are trees that grow 100 metres tall because bushfires are so rare. Most mind-boggling, perhaps, are the jumping ants who cover their nests with dark stones in winter and white ones in summer.

Action desired: Activate the gluteal muscles that help stabilize the knee and ankle, as well as the hip and lower back. This exercise stimulates the muscles that are supposed to stabilize these joints so that the body does not use smaller muscles not designed to hold up the involved joints.
Position: Standing on one leg.
Exercise movements: Do a squat on one leg, reaching with the free leg as far as you can with stability, touching the ground as if you stepping on an egg, trying not to break it. You will reach in a star pattern. Try to keep your balance on the non-reaching leg. Do not let the hips unlevel.

My fondest memories of living in the United States included hot summer days with my best friends (and volleyball teammates), refreshing margaritas and authentic Mexican food.

Prosper Mugiraneza va ser un antic ministre de funció pública de Ruanda.
Mugiraneza va néixer el 1957 a Kigarama, província de Kibungo, Ruanda. Es va graduar a la Universitat Nacional de Ruanda a Butare, on va obtenir el títol d'advocat.
Abans de convertir-se en ministre d'administració pública, Mugiraneza era fiscal i director general del Ministeri de Justícia.
Està casat i té quatre fills. Actualment, la seva dona i fills resideixen a Europa.

Va ser jutjat per genocidi i crims contra la humanitt pel Tribunal Penal Internacional per a Ruanda, el judici va començar el 2003. Es creia que estava involucrat en l'assassinat de Jean-Baptiste Habyalimana.

Va ser declarat culpable i condemnat a 30 anys de presó, però després d'una llarga apel·lació, Mugiraneza va ser absolt de totes les càrrecs el 4 de febrer de 2013. Agnès Ntamabyaliro Rutagwera qui també va ser acusada d'estar involucrat en l'assassinat de Habyarimana (i altres delictes) encara està complint una sentència de cadena perpètua.

NEW YORK, Feb 15, 2013/ — A sportswear brand that was introduced 30 years ago, Nautica has remained strong for three decades and has become an inherent item in a man's wardrobe.
And like most sportswear brand that caters to a big slice of the population, Nautica has been deemed as "commercial" by many fashion critics. But not this season!
For Fall 2013, Nautica raised the ante onto itself with its "Black Sail Collection" which is as sportive as it is sartorial. Proposing windbreakers and parkas that are lined with shearling, Nautica's Black Sail Collection is perfect for both land and sea.
Don't let the luxe fisherman cables and novelty yarns fool you. This Nautica collection is as rugged as the men who wear them but it is lavish at the same time.
While it stays true to its DNA, Nautica also expanded its reach as it suit jackets and leather outerwear for the confident man.

To import Chinese products, we suggest you contact the prospective customers with whom you have been dealing with in previous times. It is not only the quality or the price what makes you sell better but whom you sell it and how you sell it.
If you have any doubt on what products you should import from China, we propose you some Chinese goods which are highly successful commercially. Check here the Chinese goods which head the list of the products most in demand.
Find a proficient supplier. You should pay attention not only to the price but also to the quality of the product and the service itself. If you do not know how to do it, put yourself in professional hands.
Before starting to work with a supplier, you must verify them first. If you are planning to buy from a factory, it is advisable not to buy through a broker. The only way to know properly that you are not buying from a broker is either undergoing an inspection or sending someone to prepare you a report.
Avoid both paying via Western Union and transferring money to personal accounts. If you transfer some money to someone's account, make sure you are transferring to a company's account. There are a wide range of scams that you may encounter.

Last month we covered how to replace a flat tube with a new one. This month we'll show you how to patch the tube. To patch a punctured tube, you will need a patch kit containing patches, glue, and emery cloth or sandpaper. Traditional patches tend to give a more permanent fix than "glueless patches," but those will still get you home. The best tip for patching success is to sand bigger than you glue, and glue bigger than you patch.
Start by removing the wheel from the bike and the tire from the wheel (see last month's tip for a step by step guide).
Put a little air in the tube to find the puncture. If the puncture is a tear at the valve or a star shaped blow out, you won't be able to patch it. When you find the hole draw a box or circle around it with chalk or a marker. This will help you sand in the correct spot.
Sand an area around the puncture that is bigger than the patch, with the puncture in the middle of the sanded area. Be sure to sand any seams near the puncture completely flat.
Apply the glue evenly to the sanded area. Cover an area that is bigger than the patch and let it dry for 2-7 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it turns from really glossy to matte in appearance.
Carefully pull the foil off the back of the patch, but don't touch the patch. Place it on the semi dried glue, centered over the puncture, and press firmly for 30-60 seconds. Peel the clear plastic film off the back of the patch. If you see the edges of the patch peel up, stop and leave the film in place.
Put the tube back in the tire, the tire on the rim, and inflate to the tire's recommended psi. You're done!
A properly patched tube is just as good as a new one. It might take a few tries to get one that really holds in the long run, so be patient. Remember to sand bigger than you glue, and glue bigger than you patch. We don't patch as a service in our bike shop, but if you want a more hands on lesson, come in and talk to one of our friendly mechanics.


These are traditional braces –it's what most people picture when they think of orthodontic treatment. The system uses brackets made of high-grade stainless steel. Bendable metal wire is threaded through the brackets and kept in place by elastics. The bracket and wire system applies pressure to teeth and ultimately moves them into proper alignment.
Metal braces are a popular option for many teenagers: They are less expensive and can be the fastest treatment option. Keep in mind these are not the metal braces your parents remember: They are smaller – and so they're less noticeable – than they used to be. Wires have been improved so that they move teeth faster and with less pain. Something your parents didn't have was the ability to choose the color of the rubber bands placed around each bracket. This gives you the chance to make your braces as unique as you are!
Ceramic braces are like metal braces in that they also use a bracket/wire/elastic system to move teeth. The difference is the brackets are the color and texture of your teeth, so they are blend in and are less noticeable than metal. They may be connected by wires that are also the color of your teeth.
When wearing ceramic braces, patients must practice excellent oral hygiene and be conscientious about cleaning their teeth to prevent staining.
Ceramic braces work just as well as metal braces, but they are more expensive. They are a popular choice for adults because they aren't as visible as metal braces. We use Clarity™ ceramic brackets in treatment.
Invisalign® is a clear mouthguard-like aligner. Treatment consists of a series of 18 to 30 different aligners custom made for the patient. Every two weeks the existing aligner is swapped out for a new aligner as teeth move and the next stage of adjustment begins. Invisalign® can be a more expensive alternative. However, the advantage of Invisalign® is the aligners are almost invisible. And, because the aligner can be removed from the mouth, patients can eat and drink whatever they'd like. Invisalign® is not an option for severe orthodontic cases and they are not available for children. Also, because they are removable, they are easy to lose – and costly to replace.

Q: MetadataType problem I'm using VS2008 SP1, WCF Ria Service July 2009 CTP. I found out that MetadataType does not work in partial class mode, really don't know what I have missed out:
Work:-
public partial class Person
{
    private string _Name;

    [Required(AllowEmptyStrings=false, ErrorMessage="Name required entry")]
    [StringLength(3)]
    public string Name
    {
        set{_Name = value;}
        get{return _Name;}
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Person p = new Person { Name="123432" };
        List res = new List();
        Validator.TryValidateObject(p,new ValidationContext(p,null,null),
            res,true);
        if (res.Count > 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(res[0].ErrorMessage);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    {
        Person p = new Person { Name="123432" };

        Validator.TryValidateObject(p,new ValidationContext(p,null,null),
            res,true);
        if (res.Count > 0)
        {

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

A: Many thanks to Jeremy Gruenwald for the answer above... I was completely stuck on this one.
I wanted to create a standard validation class based on this solution, but I didn't want to have to pass in the metadata class type because it just felt ugly.
To achieve this I created a static class which does a lookup on the custom attributes to get the metadata class type and then registers that class before returning the validation results.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Linq;

namespace MyApp.Validation
{
    public static class EntityValidator
    {
        public static List<ValidationResult> Validate(object instance, bool validateAllProperties = true)
        {
            RegisterMetadataClass(instance);

            var validationContext = new ValidationContext(instance, null, null);
            var validationResults = new List<ValidationResult>();

            Validator.TryValidateObject(instance, validationContext, validationResults, validateAllProperties);

            return validationResults;
        }

        private static void RegisterMetadataClass(object instance)
        {
            var modelType = instance.GetType();
            var metadataType = GetMetadataType(modelType);

            if (metadataType != null)
            {
                TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent(new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(modelType, metadataType), modelType);
            }
        }

        private static Type GetMetadataType(Type type)
        {
            var attribute = (MetadataTypeAttribute)type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof (MetadataTypeAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault();
            return attribute == null ? null : attribute.MetadataClassType;
        }
    }
}

usage is a simple as:
var errors = EntityValidator.Validate(myEntity);

A: EDIT: I found the answer here: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/149264/377212.aspx
Before validating, you need to manually register the metadata class:
TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent(
            new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(Person), typeof(PersonMetadata)), typeof(Person));

        List<ValidationResult> res = new List<ValidationResult>();
        bool valid = Validator.TryValidateObject(p, new ValidationContext(p, null, null), res, true);

(Original answer follows)
The problem isn't specifically with your partial class, it's that Validator.TryValidateObject doesn't seem to recognize the MetaDataType attribute.  I have the same problem - the built-in validation in MVC 2 recognizes the metadata class, but TryValidateObject doesn't.
See these:
Validating DataAnnotations with Validator class
Validation does not work when I use Validator.TryValidateObject
As a side note, I don't know if it's necessary, but all examples I've seen for metadata classes employ the default get/set on each property:
[Required(AllowEmptyStrings=false, ErrorMessage="Name required entry")]
[StringLength(3)]
public string Name { get; set; }

A: If you are working with WPF and EF, this has always worked for me...
[MetadataType(typeof(Department.Metadata))]
public partial class Department : BaseModel
{
    static Department()
    {
        TypeDescriptor.AddProvider(new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(Department),typeof(Metadata)), typeof(Department));
    }
    private sealed class Metadata
    {
        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false, ErrorMessage = "Department Name is required.")]
        [StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Name must be between 3 and 50 characters.", MinimumLength = 3)]
        public string Name;

        [StringLength(250, ErrorMessage = "Name must be between 10 and 250 characters.", MinimumLength = 10)]
        public string Description;
    }
}

And the base class that makes it happen...
public abstract class BaseModel : IDataErrorInfo
{
    #region Validation
    string IDataErrorInfo.Error
    {
        get { return null; }
    }
    string IDataErrorInfo.this[string propertyName]
    {
        get
        {
            var propertyInfo = GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
            var results = new List<ValidationResult>();
            var result = Validator.TryValidateProperty(propertyInfo.GetValue(this, null), new ValidationContext(this, null, null)
            {
                MemberName = propertyName
            }, results);

            if (result) return string.Empty;
            var validationResult = results.First();
            return validationResult.ErrorMessage;
        }
    }
    #endregion
}

The Gospel 24/7 Hilarious Sunday
School Humor
Authors Unknown - Sent by Todd Houck
LOT'S WIFE
The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, 'My Mommy looked back once while she was driving,' he announced triumphantly, 'and she turned into a telephone pole!'
A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan. She asked the class, 'If you saw a person lying on the roadside, wounded and bleeding, what would you do?'
A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, 'I think I'd throw up.'
DID NOAH FISH?
A Sunday school teacher asked, 'Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?'
'No,' replied Johnny. 'How could he, with just two worms?'
A Sunday school teacher said to her children, 'We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times, but there is a Higher Power. Can anybody tell me what it is?'
One child blurted out, 'Aces!'
MOSES AND THE RED SEA
Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.
'Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt . When he got to the Red Sea , he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.'
'Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?' his mother asked.
'Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!'
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.
Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.
On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know.'
A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, 'Your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?'
The little boy replied, 'Thank God he's in bed!'
UNANSWERED PRAYER
The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.
'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages, 'I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon.'
'So, how come He doesn't?' she asked.
UNTIMELY ANSWERED PRAYER
During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle from one of the back pews.
Tommy's mother was horrified. She pinched him into silence and, after church, asked, 'Tommy, whatever made you do such a thing?'
Tommy answered soberly, 'I asked God to teach me to whistle, and He did!'
TIME TO PRAY
A pastor asked a little boy if he said his prayers every night.
'Yes, sir.' the boy replied..
'And, do you always say them in the morning, too?' the pastor asked..
'No sir,' the boy replied. 'I ain't scared in the daytime.'
EQUAL REPRESENTATION
When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every pet, current and past.
For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, 'All girls.' This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, 'Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?'
Her response, 'Because everybody always finishes their prayers by saying 'All Men'!'
SAY A PRAYER
Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother.
'I don't need to,' the boy replied.
'Of course, you do.' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.'
'That's at our house.' Johnny explained . . . 'But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook.


Q: Another race and another solid haul of points; are you satisfied with today's result?
KR: I think this was about where we should have been today. There were a couple of times where we were in a position to make up some places and – for different reasons – were not able to but even so we didn't quite have the speed to match the Red Bulls and Ferraris. I was pretty much on my own at the end of the race but we had to keep pushing to maintain position and it wasn't so easy. Not a fantastic race but at the end of the day we've still picked up points for the championship so it's not too bad.
Q: There seemed to be very few occasions today where you could really push in clean air; how much did that affect your race?
KR: Being forced to sit behind Felipe [Massa] at the start was a bit frustrating. I don't really understand why the yellow flags were out for so long when the Mercedes was already behind the wall and out of the way. Really though it makes no difference; if I could have passed him I would have done but I don't think we had the speed to keep the Ferrari behind us anyway. We also lost quite a bit of time behind Lewis [Hamilton] – mainly because the new exhaust system means you lose a little bit of power so it was hard to get past and stay there – but with a few more practice sessions I'm sure we'll learn a lot more and be able to improve it.
Q: Just four races to go now; what can you hope to achieve before the end of the season?
KR: There's no point setting targets; we just need to keep working as hard as we can to score good points and see what happens from there. In terms of the Championship, the gap to Sebastian [Vettel] is quite big now so it will be very difficult to catch him, but we'll keep pushing all the way.
Good points, but both Vettel and Alonso finished in front of him 😦 Kimi could have fought for podiums, but when Hamilton ran him off the track in the beginning that was the point where Kimi was set back for good and then a double up with Hamilton again during the race.
He needs to qualify on first two rows, car seems to have decent race pace, wasting too much time/tyres behind slower cars.

Rugby Concussion Education: Tim O'Connor
December 9, 2011 December 8, 2011 Dustin Fink
The Concussion Blog is excited and privileged to have a guest author post about rugby. Tim O'Connor is a barrister practicing in Ireland with a specialty in rugby and sports law. He writes on the topic at www.rugbylaw.blogspot.com. Tim will be posting from time-to-time from across the pond. Here is is first entry about the IRB and concussion law (rules).
As a child, one of the very first things you learn playing rugby, is how to fall and protect your head.
And there's a good reason. Rugby's a fast-moving collision sport, and a relentless one; there are multiple phases, no rolling substitutions, and all sorts of areas where a misplaced boot, knee, elbow, shoulder or head can come sharply into contact with your head. No-one is taught to use their head in the tackle; but when a 160-pound 5'10" outhalf can find himself facing up to a 6'7" 260-pound lock who's moving at 100m-in-11-seconds pace, accidents can and will happen when all the protection you have is a gumshield, maybe a scrum-cap, and determination.
So, rugby has known for a while that concussions happen. And the leading rugby nation on earth, New Zealand, have been leading the way on concussion management. Since their RugbySmart program was introduced in 2001, the incidence and seriousness of concussion in NZ domestic rugby has dropped dramatically – and been shown to drop in studies. The NZ model has been copied in Australia's SmartRugby, in South Africa's BokSmart, in the English Rugby Football Union's programs and formed a large part of the basis of rugby's contribution to the emergence of the Zurich Consensus and the Pocket Scat 2 Card.
Despite this, it took another three years – and many high-profile concussions – for rugby to get serious. Players have had their careers ended by concussions, and high-profile former professionals like John Fogarty and Bernard Jackman in Ireland have spoken up about the effect concussions have had on them; a terrifying table on Boksmart shows concussion and head injuries kill players, every year. Still it went on until the International Rugby Board (IRB) introduced its Concussion Regulations in June of this year.
Just how serious that was, is another question. There have been too many cases since then where players who have been suspected of concussion in training – like Australian scrum-half, Will Genia, suspected of concussion in training twice in the week before the Tri-Nations decider – or in games – like French out-half, Morgan Parra, in the Rugby World Cup Final – or even plain knocked out cold – like Louis Moody – and revived and put back into the game. This has even been picked up by the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine's blog, asking the question of whether it's being taken seriously.
Which is why it's with a real sense of relief that those of us writing and speaking on this subject can say the IRB has finally brought out the concussion education modules it's promised since the regulations were brought in. You can see them HERE; top left of the screen.
Basically, this is web-based education in how to manage concussions, both where there is a medical professional there, and where there is not. It's something every coach, referee or assistant should register for, log in, and watch; because it is very, very good.
Legally, it's based on Irish personal injury law, which works the same as most Common Law systems; if you do what this modue tells you, it will go a long, long way towards doing the right thing legally. It's very clear, and very user-friendly; anyone with any experience of PADI's e-Learning for diving will find the combinations of explanation, videos and knowledge reviews very familiar. It's more detailed that the training on the NZRU RugbySmart program, and it shows, in detail, how to conduct the tests, and what to do. The IRB has to be given credit for coming up with the goods on this.
Anyone, in any contact sport, would be well-advised to look at it, because it's a fantastic resource on how to deal with concussion in real sporting situations (and that the demonstrations take place at a training session make it all the clearer – this isn't just in matches).
What I would say to anyone involved in rugby about these training modules is very simple. Log in; learn; and always, always, always do what they tell you to do – for the players' sake and for your own.

A natural gas leak destroyed a home in Waxahachie, Texas.
Get the Carse Advantage. What does that mean for you? It means we don't charge you a dime unless we achieve a recovery. That's because we work on a contingency fee. We work this way because we believe that's the right thing to do. People should only pay based on results, so why not work with a lawyer who will work hard to make sure you get what you deserve?
On the morning of Sept. 21, 2015, Adele Chavez turned on the stovetop in her Waxahachie home to cook breakfast for her and her brother. Almost instantly, the home was rocked by an explosion that no one expected. The explosion demolished the Chavez home, leaving Adele and her brother with severe burns, fractures and other injuries. That destruction led Ms. Chavez and now more than 20 former and current residents to contact the Carse Law Firm to seek justice for their physical injuries, emotional trauma and property damage against Atmos and others.
Carse investigators found that on Sept. 17 contractors using a horizontal directional drilling machine to install AT&T U-verse fiber-optic cable ripped through a natural gas service line and shattered a large section of the sewer line that served Ms. Chavez's home. Although an interruption in gas service was reported to Atmos Energy, the company took no action for the four days leading up to the explosion. The investigation further revealed that a safety mechanism known as an excess flow valve had been incorrectly placed by Atmos' installers. Because of that location the valve did not shut off the leak, allowing massive amounts of natural gas to escape and fill Ms. Chavez' home and the surrounding subdivision sewer system.
The aggressive pursuit of justice is what you can expect from the Carse Law Firm, together with the use of sophisticated technology and investigators who turn over every rock to get the answers you deserve.


The real estate field can be a tricky one to navigate, but it can also be an exceptionally lucrative field. Though there are many success stories from DIY landlords, there are also many not-so-successful ones. Learning the top 5 mistakes that DIY landlords make can help you avoid falling into the same pitfalls.
Though verbal contracts are legally binding, they can be difficult to prove in court. A written contract is absolutely necessary to protect yourself and your business. If you don't have a written contract, it will be extremely difficult to prove when any lease violations occur.
A dishonest tenant can result in extreme consequences for a landlord. A thorough credit and background check can prevent these kinds of tenants from ever becoming a problem. Prior evictions and poor credit scores are red flags for landlords. A landlord should develop a set of guidelines and never make exceptions to these guidelines.
Many times, landlords become emotionally attached to their tenants. They want to help, especially when the tenant tells them the latest sob story. Unfortunately, there are people that will take advantage of this type of kindness. If your tenant isn't paying rent, you're losing money. Not only could you get a paying tenant for your property, but you still have to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of the property.
The maintenance of the property is a shared burden, especially after the tenant has moved into the property. It is necessary for the landlord to regularly conduct a thorough inspection of the property. This can help them prevent extensive damage by catching small issues before they grow into larger ones.
Vacancies are expensive, but they do happen. For this reason, a landlord should always have enough money saved in case the property is empty for a few months. Having these savings will prevent undue stress when the landlord has a difficult time finding a new tenant. This can also prevent the landlord from skipping the background check process to obtain a new tenant more quickly.

One Direction Announce New Album 'Four', Release New Song "Fireproof": Listen
Bradley Stern @muumuse | September 8, 2014 6:16 am
Prepare for a full-blown global Directioner meltdown.
The One Direction lads have sent their fans into a tizzy with one massive announcement this morning: Their upcoming fourth studio album will be released on November 17 — and it's called FOUR. (You know, like Beyoncé's 2011 record. What will the BeyHive think?!)
And it just keeps getting better: Ahead of the release of the new record, which is available to pre-order right now, the band have released a free track for 24 hours called "Fireproof.". The song was written by 1D's own Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, plus John Ryan, Jamie Scott and Julian Bunetta.
Check out the full standard and deluxe album covers after the jump, as well as their new song, "Fireproof."
The brand new track is a subtle shift away from the crunchier pop sound of their early global hits like "What Makes You Beautiful," as well as their folkier third effort Midnight Memories, this time gliding across gentle Beach Boys-esque guitars and sweet harmonies. "Nobody knows you baby the way I do," the boys coo.
It's certainly a pleasant and promising start of a new era — now just keep breathing slowly into that brown paper bag, Directioners.
What do you think of 1D's new sound? Let us know in the comments below.
Get an eyeful of even more pop music coverage, from artist interviews to exclusive performances, on Idolator's YouTube channel.

Political spending disclosure. In total, 323 companies disclosed at least some corporate political contributions or expenditures, with the companies giving full or partial information on each of the following types of payments: state candidates, parties and committees (158 companies); 527 groups (152 companies); independent expenditures (81 groups); trade associations (179 groups); 501(c)(4) organizations (109 companies); and ballot measures (144 companies). 527 groups include national governor associations and so-called Super PACs.
The number of companies making these disclosures has actually dropped from prior years, because more companies are prohibiting certain types of contributions altogether. For example, 120 companies restrict independent expenditures, 97 companies prohibit contributions to state candidates, parties and committees, while 71 companies do not allow giving to 527 groups.
Contributions to trade associations and 501(c)(4) organizations, which may indirectly use corporate funds for political purposes, have come under a spotlight in recent years due to the publicity surrounding "dark money" in elections. In lieu of ceasing all involvement with these entities, some companies are instructing them not to use company contributions in the form of dues or other payments for any election-related activity. About 30 to 50% of companies then, depending on the type of contributions, either disclose full or partial information or restrict payments. This represents an increase in every contributions category from the last two years.
Political spending policies and oversight. 87% of companies disclose their policies governing political spending, with 283 companies giving details while 150 provide "brief or vague" policies. 388 companies explain the parameters of giving, and 229 of those companies fully describe which political entities they contribute to or not. More than 200 companies talk about the decision-making criteria for their political spending decisions.
More than half of the companies have a dedicated political spending website, and 236 companies require board oversight. This may involve the entire board, or having a board committee review policies on political spending or direct or indirect contributions. A quarter of the scoring key is focused on different levels of board oversight.

Beautifully bound individual books and collected works of William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, and probably the best-known figure in all of world literature. His poetry was published first, while very few of his plays were published in his lifetime; they are first practicably obtainable from the four posthumous folio editions of his plays published in the seventeenth century.
The Standard Edition of the Pictorial Shakspeare.
The Pictorial Edition of the Works of Shakspere.
Shakespeare, for Schools and Families.
The One Hundred Fifty-Four Sonnets.
The Poems of William Shakespeare.
Shakespearean textual scholarship began with the Rowe edition of 1709 and saw a plethora of competing editions throughout the succeeding century and beyond. Among his poetical works, the Sonnets have been most popular, particularly as the source of romantic biographical speculation about this most self-effacing of dramatists.
Regularly stocked editions of the works of Shakespeare include collections and sets of the plays and the dramatic works, as well as noteable editions such as the National edition, the Pictorial edition, the Dyce edition and Edition Aquarelle.
