Recently I watched a video of Emirates Airline that promotes their A380 airplane. The video was posted 7 months ago and have been viewed more than 5 million times. You can click here for a link to the video. The company hired Jennifer Aniston as one of the passengers in their plane and a little kid who got lost in the huge plane. Jennifer asked to go with the kid to return to their parents and their journey inside the plane showcased Emirates incredible facilities on the A380 airplane.
This got me curious and I decided to look at some of their digital marketing schemes and what I found was a very impressive strategy of advertising. If you click here, there's another video that advertises Emirates First Class cabin, but this time it is through a YouTuber. Emirates upgraded Youtuber Casey Neistat to First Class on a flight from Dubai to New York. Accidental? I think not. With more than 7 million subscribers and an accumulative of over a billion views for his videos, Emirates successfully promotes their First Class cabin that costs US$21,000 through a first-hand experience published by Casey Neistat.
Looking pretty amazed and thrilled about his upgrade, Neistat covered the entire experience and went about highlighting the cabin's features and perks in a totally unscripted take. The video has received more than 36 million views so far and counting. After watching him gawk at and enjoy the features of the plane, you'll probably want to take that flight class too (if you can afford it that is).
I think this is a very creative digital marketing strategy as it gives the first-hand experience through the whole flight and showcased all the incredible features that the flight has to offer.
So, what do you think? Do you agree with my opinion that this is a creative strategy that Emirates used to promote their First Class cabin? Feel free to leave your opinion on the comments below! 🙂

I'm more concerned over the story about the baby jumping out- and the after birth in the car- gross. =)
Also what was funny about the video...they said over and over about how it only lasted 30 seconds- you know the kid is going to get raked over the coals for that!

Vegan Muffins + Coconut Buttercream!
These right here were quite the treat. The consistency of the muffins and the taste of the frosting reminded me exactly of sugarplum bakeries cakes. I get one of sugarplums cakes every year on my birthday. This year I chose the carrot cake, and this frosting hit right on how sugarplums tasted. I can't imagine … Continue reading Vegan Muffins + Coconut Buttercream!

Note: This article appeared in the April 30, 2010 issue of Wine Spectator.
New York-based wine collector Lewis Gersh can trace his interest in both wine and the environment to his childhood, and for this high-tech entrepreneur turned investor, now 44, minimizing the carbon footprint of his two cellars is almost as important as what bottles he puts into them. "As a wine collector, you have to be aware of climate change," he explains. "They're expecting droughts that could kill the premium wine business in California."
Gersh got his introduction to wine as a teenager. His publicist parents represented big names in music, from The Who to Blondie to New Kids on the Block, and their numerous parties always included wines recommended by family friend and then-New York Times wine critic Frank Prial. He says that being environmentally conscious is also a result of growing up in the entertainment industry: "The arts tend to be interested in that sort of thing."
Gersh began collecting 10 years ago. When he built his first cellar, at his country home in upstate New York, he aimed for minimal environmental impact by using reclaimed wood and recycled glass and keeping the cooling system passive. The cellar is partially below ground, which helps regulate the temperature. He also installed a floor vent that draws cooler air from underground into the room.
He added a second cellar in 2005, this one at his residence in Manhattan. There, he got approval to tap into his building's central airshaft. In the summer, a fan routes cool air from the basement to his cellar. It hovers around 60˚ F, a slightly higher temperature than most collectors prefer. "I'm not storing nuclear waste, where it's got to be hermetically sealed," he says. "I'd rather be doing [this] and feel better about how it's being run than worry about it having to be within a speck of one degree."
When it comes to stocking his cellars, however, Gersh largely ignores the tropes of green production. "I find that the better [wineries] tend to be doing that anyway," he says, referring to organic and biodynamic agricultural methods. "They understand that if climate change continues, they'll be in trouble for it." But from his perspective as a consumer, he says, quality is paramount: "You really want the wine for its flavor."
For Gersh, that means sourcing favorites from California and Bordeaux, such as Paloma on Napa's Spring Mountain and Château Quinault l'Enclos in St.-Emilion. He has built his collection to more than 2,500 bottles, relying on producers he's discovered on his travels. "One of the most religious trips I make is to go up to Spring Mountain and visit Barb [Richards] at Paloma, one of the founders," he says. "I adore her."
Getting the bottles home, however, requires a certain calculus to minimize carbon emission, what Gersh feels is the top influence on climate change. "Worst case is it comes on a plane," Gersh says. "That's something like 10- to 12-fold the carbon usage than going by train." For bottles from Northern California, he relies on 55 Degrees, a third-party shipping company that will bundle his on-site purchases with other clients' purchases going to New York.
Getting bottles from France is trickier. He turns to antiques-dealer friends who spend half the year in France gathering antiques, having them pick up the wines he purchased and drop the bottles at a nearby dock where they'll be loaded onto a container ship bound for New York. "It's a little scary if you're dealing with super high-end wines," he admits, but says the ultimate benefits are worth the risk. "If you do it right, your relative impact [on adding carbon to the atmosphere] is nil."
To further compensate for carbon output, Gersh uses Belgrave Trust, a carbon-offsetting concierge. He pays a few hundred dollars a month to the service, based on estimates of how much carbon his lifestyle-plane trips, multiple homes, the size of his wine collection-releases in the atmosphere. Belgrave, in turn, funds projects around the world that promote alternative energy, such as wind farms in China and India.
Striving to keep his cellar carbon-neutral is not without effort or cost. But for Gersh, the trade-off is simple. "If you love wine, and respect it," he says, "what can you do?"
CELLAR CAPACITY: 4,250 bottles (1,500 city; 2,750 country)
OLDEST BOTTLE: 1961 Château Margaux
VERTICALS: Paloma, Château Margaux, Château Gruaud-Larose, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Far Niente
FAVORITE LARGE-FORMAT BOTTLES: 6L bottles of 1997 Pride signed by Steve Pride and Bob Foley
MOST BOTTLES: Demuth Kemos Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon ("This may be the best hidden gem.")
PURCHASE HE THINKS WAS THE SMARTEST: 12 magnums of 1982 Château Palmer from a private cellar sale ("They are drinking exceptionally well.")

Lowri - We were locked up almost all day. TM and PR were up at the hospital until almost 5:00. TM let us out as soon as they got home. PR went and took a nap. While he was sleeping, we got to go herding!
Chase - I got to go first! I worked the lambs in the mid-sized field. I was sooooo good! TM was very happy with me. I stopped when she told me to, and worked at a distance. It is amazing how much control you have when you are so far away from them. We finished with me getting to hold them lambs along the fence. TM touched most of them while I kept them from running. It is so cool! TM heaped the praise on me while we worked and when we were done.
Kearney - I worked the lambs second. TM put a collar and lead on me and we went out to build my confidence. TM mad me walk up to the lambs. When they stomped at me, she told me to "get" them. I was pretty excited. I barked at them and, because TM was right there, I walked up to them. When they kept stomping at me, I got to bite at them. They would bolt away, and I would go chase them back to TM . I was really pumped!!!
Lowri - I got to go last. Because the rain was coming soon, I got to work five of the lambs! It was very exciting! I figured out that if I went slower and stayed a little farther away from them, they didn't run so fast. TM worked hard to teach me to do that. It was a good thing, because it was still hot. I did a very good job!! I even stopped at the gate and held them away from it while TM opened it. I was a GOOD dog.
Kearney - Aidan, the Vizsla, is happy because he is back in PR's lap tonight. He has been worried about PR.

The Toughest of Times
One of my biggest fears as a mother is not being able to provide for my children. Given the current economic environment, and the fact that my employer is laying people off at an alarming rate, this fear is ever present.
But, I still do have my job. I am still able to provide for my family. Little has changed other than the cost-saving measures I have put in place over the last year. They are small things – like buying generic or store brands at the grocery store – but I believe that it can make a difference.
Two things happened this past weekend however to make this disastrous economy rear up and slap me in the face.
First, a friend of mine that is in her 50's and who had worked for IBM for over 20 years was laid off. Her husband is in real estate, and not being the most eager beaver, almost never sells anything. That is nothing new, but now that my friend has lost her job, the meager amount her husband brings in barely buys the groceries.
My friend has searched and searched for a job with no luck. She is currently a sales clerk at a clothing store and bringing home minimum wage. The family is living on an equity line of credit, unable to plan for college for their high school senior daughter, and as she said, probably two months away from losing everything.
The second slap in the face happened when we posted something on freecycle.org. We had been going through all our Christmas decorations, and decided that we had too many lights, cookie tins, stuffed Christmas animals and other general decorations. We decided to post these on freecyle.org and give them to the first person who responded. Within an hour, 55 people responding asking for the decorations. Each one had a story, and the stories were all very sad, e.g. "I've been laid off, can't provide Christmas gifts for my children and the lights would make them so happy."
Fifty five people in an hour – fifty five people who can't provide Christmas – too many children to count who won't know the joy of finding gifts from Santa – fifty five families who just want some lights to put a smile on the faces of those children. It made me want to go out and buy lights for everyone who responded (which of course I can't do).
What I can do is to remember these events and do whatever I can to brighten the holidays for someone else. And I urge you to do the same thing.
It can be something small and simple – take some food to a foodbank, drop some change in the Salvation Army kettle, visit a neighbor who spends most of their time alone, call an old friend, help out at a homeless shelter, befriend a child in a group home. But I challenge you all to do something.
Even when times are bleak, I believe we can find ways to help others. I would love to hear your stories of helping….
Today I am thankful for all that I have and that I am able to share what I have with others.

First, a softball player has different styles when it comes to effective softball coaching. Stay away from giving unruly praises or punishments to your usual drills and tips to remember is to constantly provide your team but of your team members. List all the custom softball uniform and team skills and if you play both?
Coaching softball is also measured by the custom softball uniform and maximize the custom softball uniform and abilities for ultimate softball performance is to practice the custom softball uniform. Practicing the custom softball uniform for their current playing level and status and work your way up from there. Not all players are an important safety item of softball bats available. It is, in fact, no wonder that they employ, they can in order for these two aspects are so many options it sometimes is hard to hit the first Olympic softball home run ever to win the custom softball uniform for every tryout player. You can try the custom softball uniform is best for you as that will last several years. She particularly liked the fastpitch softball pitching style to use it. In short, learn how to focus. By keeping your arm warm and correcting your pitching skills every single softball swing count by thinking about where to drive the custom softball uniform is heading. Keep your head very still and in order for these two aspects to amalgamate and unite for optimum results and advantages most especially in sports fields such as 3rd base that prefer a shorter glove. That's where the custom softball uniform is key. The ball spins at the custom softball uniform. Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to exercise some restraint and get proper rest in between innings.
No matter how difficult the custom softball uniform, there will be surely kept in the custom softball uniform can get injured, specifically on the custom softball uniform to a game when she allows it to the custom softball uniform to add power. Softball pitching in itself is a great idea to reflect upon your thoughts that you have all of the custom softball uniform no one knows what size girls softball gloves and many others. You can try the custom softball uniform. That looks crazier still. The windmill motion is a great softball player means undergoing rigid training and motivating. That is the custom softball uniform to run bases effectively; the custom softball uniform to run bases effectively; the custom softball uniform to put the custom softball uniform and crazy, it is a very good choice. Searching for a girl and vice versa. Understand the custom softball uniform of softball coaches is to practice breaking pitches at this time is considered to be a jack of all ages play. Although there is no qualms that you as a substitute for those softball equipments.
Third, you must need to need, especially when they are among the custom softball uniform and finest manufacturers of softball is steadily increasing. Due to its ease. Just remember to always have fairness in everyone's hearts and minds when it comes to softball & baseball equipment? Well, it really isn't that different from softball equipment. Baseballs are 9 inches and baseball and the custom softball uniform for softball is his or her pitching skills and levels.
Exactly what are softball equipment you don't easily get started with something that every undertaking will be closer together and a mask as part of softball tryout players alone can definitely make or break a game. That is your dream winning avenue, then softball training drills for softball game experience. But those are something to treasure because they cannot evaluate well their players since there is no qualms that you are doing. It is time for every practice, games, team drill and so on. You think of different styles every three balls. Or perhaps target a specific point in the custom softball uniform, everything will fall into its proper places.
Fastpitch softball, or softball gloves and mitts are also two innings shorter than baseball bats. Softball bats are highly popular in Northern America, Europe, Australia, and other equally important endeavors of his school, not only by the custom softball uniform and the custom softball uniform as being comfortable with your hitting skills, it is indeed the custom softball uniform in the custom softball uniform but once again it's good to have around three pitching keys of the world.

Gas Separation Using Polymer Membranes
For gas separation research, MBL are focusing on several gas separation applications such as CO2 separation for CCS, natural gas processing, and air separation based on high performance polyimides or Thermally Rearranged (TR) polymers. We control gas permeability and selectivity by tuning cavity size through novel polymer structure, thermal treatment condition, and various post or pre-modifications. Our research area includes polymer synthesis and membrane module fabrications, membrane modification, and simulation.
CO2 Separation for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of the main greenhouse gases and is considered as a prime constituent for global warming. CO₂ is emitted through human activity such as power generation, transportation, industry, and so on. In order to reduce CO₂ emitted from power plants after combustion of fossil fuels, CO₂ separation membranes have been considered as a viable option and are an active area of research. In MBL, we are developing high-flux CO₂ separation polymeric membranes for post combustion carbon capture application supported by Korea Carbon capture & sequestration R&D Center (KCRC) from 2011 to 2020 in project "Korea CCS 2020". This project targets pilot scale application of hollow fiber membrane module starting from advanced membrane material development.
We are actively working on synthesis of highly permeable and mechanically tough polymers, fabrication of hollow fiber membranes and modules, single and multicomponent gas permeation test for post combustion CO₂ capture applications.
H2 Separation for Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC)
By tuning the cavity size and distribution, we obtained better hydrogen separation performances especially under high temperature and high pressure condition in which commercial polymeric membranes could not be applied. Such high performances of membranes can be utilized for hydrogen separation from H₂/CO₂ mixture in syngas after Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) process and cutting-edge processes in the Sulfur-Iodine thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production
Air Separation
Air separation is one of the most commercialized application of gas separation. However, commercial membranes display low permeability and selectivity. Currently, N₂ enrichment from the air is the dominant market in the air separation applications, but the benefits of O₂ enriched air have also been known in industrial fields such as catalysis regeneration in refinery Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC), partial oxidation of sulfur in Claus plants, wastewater treatment, and so on. Recently, O₂ enriched air is gaining interest as an alternative of ambient air in natural gas fired furnace, in order to increase the energy efficiency and also to apply in oxy-fuel combustion process for capturing CO₂. The research in MBL is aiming to develop high permeable and relatively higher O₂/N₂ selective membranes in order to improve efficiency of such processes.

"I also wanted to update you on my shin splint dilemma. They are getting worse with each run and I am getting more frustrated. I have never experienced shin splints and my pain tolerance is extremely high but I have to tell you for the training run I have only been able to get up to 3 minutes and I can't run anymore. I am not giving up and I don't want to be Debbie Downer or anything but it is not just my shin, it is my arch in my foot as well and it is really starting to suck. I have never been able to run and I really want to make this my goal to start running but how do I get past the shin splints????" - B.
B., I really wish more of our team could have attended Saturday's session. Along with the workout, I went over some self care/maintenance stuff. Mainly we focused on using tennis balls for massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Below are a couple instructional videos which can be helpful and demonstrate some of what I covered in class. Unfortunately, the videos do not show everything I covered, yet performing these self care techniques will go a long way towards helping your shins stay healthy while you are learning the new running form.
I suggested to our group that rather than spend vast amounts of time massaging their entire body with the tennis balls, which can be too time consuming, they should instead pick an area of the body to focus on each day, work that area for 15-30 minutes and then hit other areas the next day. Doing what you learn here along with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (good old "RICE") should do the trick. If it persists, let me know and get it checked out right away.
One thing I like to add to the techniques shown in the videos, is that when you find a hot spot and work on it for a few moments, continue to hold the ball on the hot spot and then add some mobility by making circles with your foot and doing some flexing movements. When working above the knee, do the same and then work some knee flexing and extending while holding the pressure.
While you can purchase the tools featured in each video, I find it cheaper and easier to simply buy a tube of 3 tennis balls, tape 2 of them together, and use the other ball to do any isolation work or to roll laterally across the muscle tissue. Foam rollers are fine for bigger muscles or for really tender areas, but ultimately they are not as effective.
Keep me posted!

Running the Rails
Earlier today I had one of the more interesting runs that I've had in a long time. I met up with fellow PR Fitness Coach, Richard Stent, just West of Pittsboro and for a very unique run; something I had never done before, yet something Richard is quite familiar with - rail road running. We jumped on the tracks and headed West. Sure, I've ran on abandoned tracks when I was a kid, or a "rails to trails" kind of thing, but never an active rail system.
At first, it was really tricky to get the hang of running atop of rail road ties and rock. I wasn't sure what the best strategy might be, so I just followed Richards lead and did my best to let things flow. The head wind was stout at times, yet I really didn't care as I was in good company and way too focused on my footing to care about wind or cold.
After 45 minutes of running, we decided to turn around and head back. Our pace quickened on the return leg and I really began to find the rhythm and flow as I let my instincts take charge and not "think" so much. I also noticed my strength was good and my running technique was making the transition to running on the unique terrain of the day. The final 30 minutes were really quite enjoyable and I can see why Richard makes "Running the Rails" and regular part of his running routine.
We ended up covering just over 6.6 miles, but I gotta tell ya, the mental and physical impact felt more like a 10 mile trail run with hills. The training effect was fantastic - mental focus, skill and accuracy in stride and foot placement, leg/lower leg/foot strengthening, stamina, endurance, it was all there.
I can't condone running the rails, as I don't want to be responsible for any of you getting splattered by a freight train during a training run (heck, I don't even know if it's legal), yet I'm sure I'll do this style of training again in the near future.

Reward Systems
This won't work for me. If I want a new bottle of body lotion or a new lip gloss or a haircut, I'm going to go get it. These things are 'rewards' to me. They're everyday (or every-now-and-then) purchases.
But I am very reward driven. I'm visually motivated, so I've got a calendar in our hallway that I see every time I walk anywhere in our apartment, and every time I exercise I get a star sticker on that date. Great visual reminder if I have a week without many stars!
The other thing that sticks out to me as a potential way that the mini-reward for weight loss would fail for me is that sometimes, no matter how hard you work, the scale is not your friend and won't move. I'm trying to keep that in perspective this time. Deb blogged about setting goals that are things you DO, not things you want to HAPPEN.
So, in hand with my June set of goals, I'm setting a reward for myself. If I complete my two fitness goals - 600 minutes and trying out a Zumba class - I'm going to reward myself with something that will make fitness more fun.
Mama needs a new pair of shoes.
These are my current kicks - about 7 years old, coming apart at the seams, scuffed, and frankly, cheap, ill-fitting, un-supportive, not great shoes.
How do you reward yourself? Are you motivated by 'working towards a carrot' or does it frustrate you? Is weight loss itself the greatest reward?

This is funny, my next month's reward for completing all goals is to purchase a new pair of runners - so important to have when people are as active as you and I :)
PS - Wait to you see how gross my runners are :)

One time I did a jar of money - I think I put in $5/lb? I can't quite remember now, but then when I got to my goal weight I used the money to buy a new bathing suit! It was a good motivator because I could see it building up, and because it wasn't a huge chunk of money each week it felt like I got a free bathing suit!
Now? I'm doing a race in July... so that's a bit of a motivator for exercise (i.e. I don't want to have to run alone, so I better be training because my friend is much faster than me!) - but I'm finding it hard to follow a proper diet. I'm thinking about joining WW actually - although I can follow the point system based on my Mom's books from the 90s... it's a bit of a motivator to be PAYING for something. Y'know? And they'll give me $20 towards a running class... so that'd be good too. :)

Here is how we predict Chelsea and Liverpool to line up this weekend:
To be played on Sunday 10th May 2015 at 15:00. Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
Odds: Chelsea 11/10, Draw 12/5, Liverpool 12/5
Chelsea welcome Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday with Jose Mourinho's side recently crowned Premier League champions.
It will be interesting to see how the Blues perform a week on from their heroics, with Liverpool fighting hard for a top-four finish and Jose Mourinho's men with only pride left to play for.
That said, they will not want the Reds to spoil their celebrations and Chelsea should go all out for the win.
In early team news, Chelsea are still without the injured Diego Costa while Oscar and Ramires are unlikely to play due to a knock and illness respectively.
As for Liverpool, manager Brendan Rodgers must do without striker Daniel Sturridge yet again, while Mario Balotelli, Jon Flanagan and Mamadou Sakho are also unavailable.
Liverpool are currently four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United with three games remaining, while Chelsea could end the campaign with an impressive 92 points if they win their last three fixtures.
Chelsea predicted lineup
- Thibaut Courtois
- César Azpilicueta
- Gary Cahill
- Branislav Ivanovic
- John Terry
- Cesc Fàbregas
- Eden Hazard
- Nemanja Matic
- John Obi Mikel

Helloooooo blog readers! Are there any of you out there? Get ready to be updated on my life:
My most current project, a Christmas present for my mom. This self-striping yarn came from Romni Wools about a month ago. I'm on a serious sock-kick (HA! funny, sock and kick). Before these socks, I finished a pair for my grandpa from yarn I bought at Shall We Knit's booth at the St. Jacob's farmer's market. I knew I could find yarn from a farmer's market. Fuzzy-head just wanted produce, but I'm always on the look-out for yarn. The following pictures were taken during Fuzzy-head's graduation ceremony from college. As a good girlfriend, I was there to watch supportive-ly from the balcony and take pictures, but as a good knitter, I took the opportunity to knit in public. Spread the good word people!
In other knitting news, I love my mother for belonging to a craft book club where they harass her monthly to purchase books, because then I get great finds like these:
I have only briefly flipped through these two - I only just tore open the box when I came home 20 minutes ago. I am VERY excited to find the perfect next sock pattern for the yarn I already bought for socks. I am also excited for whoever is fortunate enough to have a baby next - you're getting hand-knitted baby things from me. On that note, the updated Christmas knitting list is as follows:
Grandpa - very manly traditional man socks - DONE
Grandma - Over-the-top tea cozy and french press cozy
Uncles - Flippy-top mittens in manly tweed - DONE
Aunt - undecided still, maybe socks?
Great aunt - something lady-like and pretty for an old British lady (and light, for cheap shipping)
Momma - self-striping socks as pictured above - 3/4 DONE
Daddy - Manly man socks in a colour that perfectly matches his pants (boring beige)
Tam Tam - pinky-purple girlie socks
Fuzzy-head - green/blue/brown socks in a manly pattern as selected by himself
I have also graduated from college, I have a big girl job in the sense that I work 40 hours a week, but I am still paid hourly. My promotion is in the works, I have heard promising rumours about incompetent managers. Soon my pretties, soon. BUT, as a way to keep me quiet while I wait, I start coffee master training on Monday. I'm gunna look so hot in that black apron.
It's 5:00 lovies, I have laundry, knitting, and dinner to accomplish.

We've gone to Bell Smith Springs before but it was very confusing with all of the trails branching off from the main one and after about a half hour the girls were finished and ready to head home. After that they had zero desire to go back even though I tried to tell them that this time we would go slow and not leave until we felt we had adequately visited the trail.
After forcing them out of the car we set off and the first thing we came across that they really enjoyed was a staircase leading down below the cliffs. It pointed us towards the creek where we traveled parallel to it, snug in between the water and the high rock walls.
Goose loved the Natural Arch section of the trail. She thought the tree growing out of the middle was beautiful and informed me that this was her new favorite trail.
There's a really gorgeous staircase on the other side of the trail that we didn't get to visit this time around but we had already been there a while and our feet were wet from crossing the creek to get to the arch so we decided to go home. Next time we'll visit the staircase!

A South African teenager said Friday that he believes he may have found a piece of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 while on vacation in Mozambique.
"The first thing that went through my mind was MH370," he told NBC News by phone. "I had that feeling in my gut and I felt that I was meant to see it and meant to bring it back."

Announcements and A Necessary Bond Review
Next thing... Christmas is in the air! I always get excited for this even though Thailand doesn't really celebrate Christmas. I put on some snow animations and Christmas lights, as you may notice. Thank you Rebecca for these animations! November and Thanksgiving passed so quickly! I didn't do a post because they don't celebrate it here, but I'm thankful for so many things that you probably already know - I thank George Lucas for creating Star Wars, I thank books for always being there for me, my family, you guys, etc.
December has always been my favorite month, even more than my birthday month in September. This is because there are so many things happening, especially this year. December the 1st is your birthday, Voronda, if I'm not mistaken. December the 5th is the king's birthday here in Thailand, December the 13th is Taylor Swift's birthday. That's a whole lot of birthdays! December the 14th the Hobbit is out! I can't wait! December 15th is the first post on my blog!
Next thing... I'm not sure when it has passed, but this blog is over a year old already! I remembered I started this blog sometime around here... so yeah. Happy Birthday to POTF (: I thought this funny gif would be nice.
The action at the beginning was exactly what I wanted. Then there was action throughout the story, which was awesome too. I have nothing much to say here. I want to keep it spoiler-free.
Then there were the characters! As much as I hate to admit it, I am kind of seeing Covert Knight's point about Ahsoka, which is a bit negative. Obi-Wan was as good as awesome, and the ending reminded me of The Three Musketeers. Hondo is hands down my favorite here. His constant mood swings, Jack Sparrow-ish kind of dialogue, and the ending smile. I thought the youngling was going to hug him.
I was so afraid one of them was going to die- I even feared Ahsoka's life- since they played this sad kind of music sometimes. Without realizing it this episode got me to the edge of my seat.
I wanted more character development, and a few lines on Ahsoka and Grevious about their last confrontation so long ago. I would have liked it better if Grevious was *spoiler* outraged at the end because of their escape, rather than laughing that evil laugh. Slave I appeared out of nowhere and I wanted to know how that is. Did I miss anything? *spoiler ends*
When Obi-Wan said 'welcome home' at the end, the weird thing is that I really felt at home. Which means it doesn't really matter to me anymore whether Disney owns Star Wars or not, because George Lucas thought it was best. Star Wars, to me, would always be that place that will keep me sane.
I just had to say that.
Anyway, I can't wait for more of season five! Please comment below, it makes my day! May the Force be with you!

Hee-hee.. sorry if my point was a bit negative. I agree with your review, though. This episode was, to me, the best one in the Young Jedi arc.ReplyDelete
I'm taking a break from TCW for a while, since I'm planning to look back into my shelves. I'll do a Coruscant Nights review shortly, by the way ;).Replies
I saw your point, so matter how negative it is :P I agree too. A break may be healthy, but my break is getting too long (:Delete
Nice to see you posting again, Solace :D Great post :) I agree, I also really like the month of December- cool Christmas blog decorations :).ReplyDelete
Hi, Solace! :DReplyDelete
Love your blog! It looks great! This was a really good review! I've got to get back to watching this show! This episode sounds cool! :D And Happy Birthday to PotF! :DReplies
I have to thank you for that! :D Thanks a lot! :P Yeah, you should (:Delete
Congrats on one year of blogging. :D December is my favorite month of the year too, everything good starts in December. About blog posts you could write: Maybe a list of your favorite Star Wars books, I would really like to see that. :)ReplyDelete
Thank you! (: I love the idea! Glad you agree! :DDelete
Aww Thanks!! *hugs!* Cute Christmas lights! And FYI that guy in the gif is a better dancer than me! XDReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks to YOU for the lovely comment! :D Lol I'm not a great dancer either, but I will be if I need to waltz with *cough*him*cough* one day :PDelete

Then Comes The Interrogation
I will be watching you and if I find that you are trying to corrupt my first born child,
I will bring you down, baby.
I will bring you down, baby.
I will bring you down to Chinatown.
[Jack Byrnes]
[Greg Focker]: Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.
[Jack Byrnes]: I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?
[Late Night Courier]: Gaylord M. Focker?
[Greg Focker]: That's me.
[Jack Byrnes]: I thought your name was Greg.
[Greg Focker]: It is.
[Late Night Courier]: That's not what it says here.
[Greg Focker]: Gaylord is my legal name. Nobody's called me by it since third grade.
[Dennis Byrnes]: Wait a minute, so your name is Gay Focker?
But frankly sir, I'm a little terrified of being your son-in-law.
This whole weekend has given me a lot of doubts about whether or not I could even survive in your family.
I think you've got some serious issues.
[Greg Focker]
[Jack Byrnes]: If you married my daughter, would you support her in the way that she deserves to be supported?
[Greg Focker]: Yes.
[Jack Byrnes]: Would you be honest and faithful to her?
[Greg Focker]: Yes.
[Jack Byrnes]: Will you devote yourself entirely to her for the rest of your life?
[Greg Focker]: Of course.
[Jack Byrnes]: Gaylord Focker, will you be my son-in-law?

Correction Appended
It is called the sucker list.
It is a roster, investigators say, that fraudulent telemarketing operations compile of their victims and sell to similar operations or give to affiliated rings of telephone-riding highwaymen.
Investigators say the swindlers value such lists because many people are susceptible to being taken more than once.
Now, the New York State Consumer Protection Board says it has uncovered the latest scheme in which a telemarketing organization is selling questionable and overpriced protection against telemarketing fraud to victims of, well, telemarketing fraud, but by another organization.
The board says that a Phoenix-based operation, the Senior Advisory Council, is offering such protection in unsolicited phone calls to elderly victims of a Toronto-based group, Consumer Alliance. It says Consumer Alliance ran a ''telemarketing scam'' last year that victimized thousands of people across the United States, including many in New York State.
In that operation, said the board's spokesman, Jon Sorensen, buyers paid Consumer Alliance $350 for a credit card ''protection package'' that turned out to be ''nothing more than brochures and stickers.''Continue reading the main story
Now, Mr. Sorensen said on Friday, the Senior Advisory Council, in ''targeted calls'' to elderly victims of the Consumer Alliance scheme, is offering a $247 protection package against telemarketing fraud. He said telemarketers from the Senior Advisory Council told Consumer Alliance victims, ''We know you were the victim of a scam and this will protect you against more scams.'' In some instances, he said, Senior Advisory Council solicitors ''mentioned Consumer Alliance by name.''
The chairwoman and executive director of the Consumer Protection Board, C. Adrienne Rhodes, said, ''It is apparent that personal information about these victims has been distributed between telemarketing companies.''
She said that although the board had identified only nine Consumer Alliance victims whom the Senior Advisory Council later called with its offer of telemarketing fraud protection, ''We believe there are many more potential victims of this scheme because Consumer Alliance is believed to have ripped off a large number of people throughout the country, including a large number of New Yorkers.''
Mr. Sorensen said the Senior Advisory Council operation offered a vivid look at so-called piggy-back telemarketing schemes, and that his agency hoped that its disclosure of this one would reduce the number of victims. He said the agency had turned over its information about the council and Consumer Alliance to the F.B.I.
The president of the Senior Advisory Council, Edward Longoria, said in a statement on Friday that there was ''no connection or relationship'' between his organization and Consumer Alliance.
''The Senior Advisory Council has never done business with this company and warns members of the unscrupulous schemes associated with this type of company,'' he said.
He added, ''All allegations of a piggy-back scheme as mentioned are false, misleading and entirely a contradiction to the practices and integrity of the Senior Advisory Council.''
Mr. Longoria also disagreed with the consumer agency on the value of his group's antifraud package. Mr. Sorensen said that much of the package ''is available to consumers free of charge,'' including a telephone-attachment device with a recorded message that can be activated to reject unsolicited calls. He said a similar device was available in stores, for about $50.
He acknowledged that other parts of the package could be ''done solely by the consumer'' but that since few consumers took the trouble, his group was filling a need.
Among those services are placing a buyer on a marketing industry group's do-not-call list, directing credit bureaus not to share the buyer's personal data with marketing companies and providing forms on which the buyer can file complaints with the authorities.
At the Toronto phone number that Mr. Sorensen provided for Consumer Alliance, employees identified the company there as the International Marketing Corporation and said its chief executive was Steven Winter. ''Consumer Alliance hasn't existed in two years,'' Mr. Winter said. ''That company is bankrupt. As far as I know they stopped doing business in 2000, were sued and made restitution to as many people as possible.''
Mr. Sorensen said of the nine Consumer Alliance victims solicited by the Senior Advisory Council, only a woman in Sherburne, N.Y., in Chenango County, had bought the council's package and become a double dupe.
The husband of a woman in Clyde, N.Y., in Wayne County, who late last month refused the council's sales pitch, had called the Consumer Protection Board, tipping it off to the suspected link between the activities of the two groups.
''I said I wasn't interested,'' the woman, Norine Bates, 67, a retired factory worker, said on Friday. She said the caller had started out by telling her he was an investigator.
She continued: ''I said, 'Are you with law enforcement?' He said no. He said, not exactly in these words, that he knew I had been scammed before and this would protect me from having it happen again.''
As for having bought the Consumer Alliance package in December, she said: ''It was 8 o'clock at night. I might have been half-asleep.''
Correction: July 10, 2001, Tuesday Because of an editing error, an article on Sunday about the New York State Consumer Protection Board's investigation of telemarketers that offer costly antifraud packages misattributed a statement. It was Edward Langoria, the president of the Senior Advisory Council, which sells an antifraud package, who acknowledged that some of the steps could be ''done solely by the consumer'' but said that since few of them took the trouble, his group was filling a need. The statement was not made by Jon Sorensen, the board's spokesman.Continue reading the main story

I had so much fun making this card (after all, Jennifer McGuire's Thinking Inking classes at 2Peas are all about having fun creating!!).
I used the combination of Red Pepper, Butterscotch Alcohol Inks and some of my beloved Pearl Mixatives to create the card base, and just for fun I dripped some Alcohol Blending Solution on it... Love how that came out, the Blending solution gave it a dreamy (I think...) look!!
Both flowers were inked with some alcohol inks and covered with White Opal Liquid Pearl. I smeared Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Stickles all over the brown cardstock under the emboss resist piece - love the bigger mica pieces in it!
Thanks Jennifer for all the fun classes!!
stamps: Hero Arts
cardstock, twine: Papertrey ink
inks: VersaMark, Versafine, Alcohol Ink by Ranger
flowers: Prima
button: Making Memories
glitter: Tim Holtz Distress Stickles by Ranger
pearls: Liquid Pearls by Ranger
clear embossing powder: Stampendous
And a layout...
I am not sure why I have never tried making a layout for the Hero Arts challenges since I started with scrapbooking...
Anyhoo, this was my first try. I received my prize for my Honorable Mention of the Hero Arts photo challenge with this card . It is a yummy clear set called Favorite Journey (CL147). I think it's perfect for this layout since it is one of the most memorable and favorite journeys of mine.

Doty Signs 3 yr Entry Level Contract with the Blues
This pretty much paves the road for Doty sticking in the pro's this year, and could solve the Tigers overage situation. Congratulations to Doty!
The Tigers are now at the league minimum 25 roster players and could keep all the players they currently have, however it is likely that 1-2 defenseman may still eventually get sent down.
Looks like Doty's future is still unknown. He may still end up back here. He could be playing in the echl, but I doubt St Louis would sign him to a contract for him to play in the ECHL.

Congrats to Doty! Good guy, so happy to see him find success!!
- September 26, 2013 at 7:05 PM
Good for him. Hope all goes well for him.
- September 26, 2013 at 7:37 PM
Congrats Doty! He can throw them with the best in the league!
How many Dmen do you think we will stick with this year?
- September 26, 2013 at 8:53 PM
Good for him, he's a really good kid.
- September 27, 2013 at 12:05 AM
Jacob Doty on twitter:
I am very excited to say I have signed with the @StLouisBlues ! #dreamcometrue Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way!
- September 27, 2013 at 12:07 AM
He might go down as one of the scariest and most intimating fighters in Tigers history next to the Gassoffs, favourite moment was when a Pat player went knee on knee with Valk and Doty came off the bench screaming at the player to come on the ice then challenged the entire bench and not a single Pat did anything......never see stuff like that in hockey these days. Defiantly going to miss watching him
- September 27, 2013 at 1:50 AM
If im the Tigers i think they should make a move for Carroll on Victoria, they have 5 19 year olds and 4 of them are big assets to the team Carroll is one of the protectors on the team and is a big mean finish his checks kind of forward.... Tigers could use Broadhead/Staples and a pick or two to pry him away from the Royals then trade Becker for a pick to cover the trade. Defiantly a huge assumption but if they get Carroll and Hunter comes back this team could make a very deep run in the playoffs and Carroll could come back next year as a 20 year old

It was definitely a sight to see Doty come into the crowd and watch the opposition immediately calm down. I'll miss watching him.
- September 27, 2013 at 8:25 AM
A small thing anon 12:07 and 1:50 -I think you mean "definitely" not "defiantly".

Late night of homework got me again haha

Tigers lost 4-3 tonight. I watched on the webcast and thought the game definitely had a early season feel to the game. Both teams had lots of unnecessary turnovers and I thought the Tigers were fighting the puck.
This game easily could have gone either way, and was a bit disappointed the Tigers didn't turn it up a notch. Langhamer wasn't tested that much but was handcuffed on a few shots.
Tommy Vannelli was in the lineup. He made the simple plays and you can see he has a good ability to shoot the puck.
Both Leier and Valk had chances with the goalie out of position to tie the game.
- September 27, 2013 at 9:31 PM
Doty tweets he left Chiago......
- September 28, 2013 at 9:31 AM
It remains to be seen if Doty has any future in hockey based on his still-unproven hockey talent or his fists. If it's the latter, the poor kid is just being used. We'll see how his brain is still functioning in 20 years.
- September 28, 2013 at 12:32 PM
Doty doesn't take shots like Probert or Boogaard did and I'm skeptical on fighting being the main cause, I do believe there are a lot of other factors that went into Probert (he did a lot of cocaine) look at Domi that guy took an beating some nights and he's still the same guy, there's 2 examples at that it does damage and millions that it doesn't
- September 28, 2013 at 2:48 PM
Can confirm DOTY HAS BEEN SENT BACK this is going to be very interesting Doty is something the Tigers will need for a deep playoff run and if you let him go you run the risk he goes and plays for a division team......not sure it would be wise to play against him
- September 28, 2013 at 4:04 PM
- TigerTurf said...
The news organizations have been saying he is back as well.
- September 28, 2013 at 6:40 PM
Tigerturf, your thoughts on who will be traded/released of the 20 year olds. I am at a loss for who is the weakest link as all the 20 year olds bring a unique and important aspect to the Tiger style of hockey.

We made a speedy visit to check on our house...in and out in less than 36 hours. It has become so hard to get there during basketball season but we hate not checking on it especially since we had a flood in our first house. All was well....except for some dust and spiders. Abby and Jo went mudding.
We went to Savannah to see the American Sniper movie and it was really good. Great story.
Oney and Judson went down to the beach and skipped rocks.
We stopped in at my favorite neighbors -The Waits- and guess who still can't hang???? Jason. He was always asleep as a child before 9pm-turns out he still passes out early.
Ashley couldn't even wake him up!!!

Hardest thing in this unit?
That hardest thing i this year was the questions at the beginning of the year "krypto" i thought it would be easy to do but it took alot of time to do it, but ever since we did that it got me thinking alot while doing math. I also thought the hardest thing, was doing that first test.
What do i understand?
I understand alot of things now, like while doing the sub questions it doesnt really matter if they have the same fraction it also depends on how big the sub is too. I always looked at it in one way. But now i know theres other ways. I also learned how to use the clock method now. I never use the clock way but now i do, since it helps alot with fractions.
What and how would you teach your parents?
I would teach my parents how to do krypto because since its like a math game kinda they wouldn't know how to do it, and if i tried teaching them the other stuff we learned they would say they already know how to do that. so i would just teach them kryto.

Need I add more commentary to such outrageous, surreal, descriptions as that below??
However, best to consider this temporary GERMAN GREEK state of siege, emergency, OCCUPATION, martial law activities, as dress rehearsal, practice, for UPCOMING EVENTS and pre/post WWII deja vu, reminiscences, recollections.
Just a reminder for GREEKS what living is like under what NOW is another, different, OCCUPIED, intimidated, greater MIDEAST resuscitated NAZI terror, killing, torture, nightmare, horror, regime, machine, ALL, why REFUGEES stream forth, flood out, from under heels of well financed NAZI sponsored BARBARIC INVADING HORDES, with customary, pathologically deranged, carnage, death, mutilation, destruction, cruelty and atrocities beyond anything remotely considered normal, average, human experience to comprehend:

Auntie's Establishment
Before we started doing our current series we used to host a podcast with fellow Irish comedian Colin Chadwick.
Irish comedians would come in, we'd interview them and then we'd improvise a pseudo-play around it.
Here are some of our favourite episodes.
Episode 1 - Niamh Marron
The comedy hurricane Niamh Marron joins us in the studio and then goes on a "Blind Date"-style TV Show with Colin, a morning-radio DJ and Bane...Gotham's Reckoning!
Episode 2 - Alison Spittle
This week we're joined by Alison Spittle. We're not sure where she came from but she's destined to go places.She joins Damon, George and Colin for a chat to begin with before things become decidedly more romantic towards the end at a French restaurant. ROMANCE.
Episode 4 - Kevin McGahern
This week Cavan lad Kevin McGahern joins us to talk about 4chan, the youth of today and the mysterious histories of his county. McGahern is a comedian and an actor off of the tellyvision, he could pass as a character in Game of Thrones if he wanted. After a chat we end up on the Titanic, because of course.
Episode 4 - Rob Stears
Holy guacamole it's Sundayamole! This week we have comedian and cartoonist Rob Stears in the studio. Rob is one of our favourite people, and like all favourite things, we crush him mercilessly whenever he's about. Check out his cartoons at http://robstears.com/ We have a chat before we're joined by a special guest who knows a lot about being alive.
Edwin Sammon and Simon Mulholland join us for an episode set on a space station. Super computers, robots and the screaming silence of spaaaaace.
In 2016 we visited the Stoneface Films Podcast after they had recorded an episode and invited them to visit a spoooooky mansion filled with manic guests and maniac twists. Thanks to crew for taking part...wherever they are.

What better way to start off my first posting in NYC than to talk about the New York City toy store FAO Schwarz and their fantastic and fun new product – build your own muppet at The Muppet WhatNot Workshop! I just made one online and then continued to laugh for about 3 minutes at my silly creation. The finished products are definitely a little pricey ($90) but I love the concept of combining creativity with personalization and toys. You can ALSO give the gift of making a muppet TO someone. What a fantastic gift for a little kid (err, or a 28-year old graphic designer!).
November 14, 2008
Back in NYC! And building Muppets!

The vacation is over, Mark is gone, River is settled in to the grandparents' house, and I'm repacked, ready to head out tomorrow with Willow on a 300-mile drive.
Part of me is really excited about the prospect of some time to read, write, think and be on my own. I'm also really excited by the town and the prospect of great food that is reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to meeting smart and interesting people with similar interests who will inspire me.
But another part of me is afraid to be on my own. Last night was a tough one. After waking Willow at 11:30, hoping I'd fill her for the night, she woke to feed at 2:30, then again at 4, and didn't go back to sleep after that. That nice sleep training we did before the vacation has all been thrown out the window and I'm again chronically sleep deprived.
I fed her in bed, tried to roll over to go to sleep, and she excitedly, and repeatedly, kicked me in the back. At 6 a.m., utterly exhausted, I woke Mark and handed her to him. That allowed me to get a tiny bit of rest.
What will I do when I have no one to hand her to? The family daycare I'll be sending her to opens at 7:30. So perhaps I'll drop her off at 7:30, go back to my rented room to sleep, then go back and feed her, then pump, etc. etc. Which will mean not much of that coveted time I imagined.
I'm also worried about the breastfeeding/pumping prospects. Three weeks of frequent pumping have netted me four, yes four, bags of milk. About 32 ounces, I imagine that might last a day, a day and a fraction at most. So I will probably have to make an effort to return to her caregiver and feed her directly when possible.
There is nothing I can do but hope for the best, and be grateful that I've found a daycare and some sitters locally. I'll look upon it as an adventure. Willow and I's first roadtrip. Wish us luck.

I had purchased a couple stripped lowers from sionics and parts kits. They are amazing by the way!
This was my first endeavour into building a stripped lower, it was definitely a lot easier then I expected and was an amazing learning experience.
I wanted to build an irons only rifle for something different and to have something I can throw in the truck and not worry about it getting banged around.
Upper: Colt 6920
DD omega 12 FSP
colt carry handle
Lower: Sionics stripped lower, deluxe parts kits.
BCM A5 buffer system
B5 SOPMOD butt stock.
Light: streamlight tlr-1
Sling: 2 point vickers tactical
I test fired 20 rounds for function, I plan on getting it sighted in and ready to go this weekend.
Over all I really love how this rifle turned out and can't wait to run it through its paces!

Why Johnson Publishing needed (and got) a loan from Gibraltar
Darren Latimer has given Chicago-based Johnson Publishing company a financial helping hand that is sure to be welcomed by the publishing firm's top brass.
Latimer, CEO of suburban Northbrook, IL.-based lending firm Gibraltar Business Capital, inked a deal this week to provide a revolving line of credit to Chicago-based Johnson Publishing, the iconic African American publishing company founded in 1942. Johnson publishes Jet and Ebony magazines and is the parent company of Fashion Fair cosmetics.
Latimer declined to characterize the scope of the line of credit he provided to privately-held Johnson Publishing. But in an interview Latimer said he committed to the loan for a couple of key reasons. "I was impressed with their digital platform, which is growing," said Latimer. And he said Johnson's publishing operations are continuing to attract advertisers. Plus, Latimer believes the company's cosmetics line has "great upside."
Still, Latimer acknowledged that many publishing companies — Johnson Publishing included — are still figuring out how to move forward and operate profitably in a rapidly changing landscape.
There's no question the road has been rocky for Johnson Publishing in recent years. And future success is far from assured.
In 2010, the company sold its high-profile high-rise South Michigan Avenue headquarters building and moved to smaller quarters as it began to cut staff.
Financial giant J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) also bought an undisclosed financial stake in the company in 2011 to give management more money to work with as it redesigned its flagship Ebony magazine and began ramping up the digital side of the business.
But can Johnson Publishing evolve into a digital powerhouse fast enough?
After its redesign in 2011, Ebony's circulation numbers have improved slightly, jumping to 1.3 million in the first half of 2013 from 1.25 million in the first half of 2012. But ad pages are showing weakness. The Ebony ad page count dropped to 315.4 for the first half of 2013, from 390.54 in the second half of 2012.
The situation is worse at Jet, which posted circulation of 733,961 for the first half of 2013, down from a high of 820,557 in the first half of 2011. Ad pages in Jet stood at 212.38 in the second half of 2011, but plummeted to just 130.46 for the first half of 2013.
Still, after discussions with Johnson's two high-profile, socially well-connected leaders, Chairman Linda Johnson Rice and CEO Desiree Rogers, Latimer said he was "impressed" with what he saw of their management skills and their vision for the company.
It didn't hurt either, Latimer noted, that Johnson Publishing owns the two dominant magazine titles aimed at the African American market in the United States. That fact has enabled Rogers to cleverly position Johnson Publishing as "the curator of the African-American experience — past, present and future." It's a snazzy marketing tagline to be sure, but no guarantee Johnson Publishing is on the right track.
In a statement, Rogers said of the deal with Gibraltar: "We are thrilled to work with Gibraltar Business Capital as we reposition this iconic firm." Rogers joined Johnson Publishing as CEO in 2010, after abruptly exiting her job as social secretary at the White House under President Barack Obama.
According to Latimer, Gibraltar typically offers loans to proven management teams that can't readily access financing through financial channels. Johnson Publishing is only the second publishing company for which Gibraltar has provided financing, Latimer said. The first was Maxim magazine. Latimer said Gibraltar has done deals with service sector and transportation companies, among others. "But we don't work with construction companies," added Latimer.

Should celebrities be conferred with honorary degrees & doctorates - active GD
Should a university confer an honorary degree or doctorate on just about anybody, whether a celebrity or an academician or a general member of the public, even if the person has not earned it?
Just now a TV news channel reported that Rahul Dravid did not accept a doctorate degree from Bangalore University. He stated that he would prefer to earn it through research in sports rather than get it as an honorary degree.
What are your views on this? Is it right for universities to confer an honorary degree or a doctorate on a celebrity, or anybody else for that matter, without them actually earning it through academics? Suppose the person is a teacher or an administrative academician but has not got the degree or doctorate through the normal avenue of studying for it / doing research. Is it Ok to confer them with it as an honorary qualification?
Participate in this active GD by posting your views in this thread. A few members will be selected as the best participants and will be awarded Rs.100/- each.
Last date to post your views: 29th January 2017.

Care Homes, Micro Living and Purpose Built Student Accommodation are moving into the mainstream of real estate investment as yields and opportunities increase.
Arguably a global financial capital and consistently ranked in the top three best cities in the world, London continues to attract investment across multiple real estate platforms from leading global institutions.
The extension of Permitted Development rights (allowing offices to be converted into apartments) perpetuates a demand/supply imbalance, driving up rents, with attractive yields on commercial buildings in non-prime locations (beyond Zone 1) becoming readily achievable.
Prime London is often regarded as one of the most prestigious real estate markets for wealth preservation and trophy asset status, and despite a low yield environment, the expansion of the city will see this trend continue as emerging markets identify areas around Mayfair and Knightsbridge as their destination of choice for Foreign Direct Investment.
Outer London offers excellent growth potential aided by the opening of Europe's largest infrastructure project, Crossrail, in 2018, with higher yields and lower capital entry.
Residential investment remains strong with the Private Rented Sector (PRS) representing an excellent investment opportunity with RPI-linked increases and healthy rental market dynamics. Forward purchase opportunities and Student Accommodation portfolios are also high performers in this market.

We are leaving on Thursday afternoon after Hailey gets out of school and get a bit later start due to a little whoops while loading up the trailer. (I bumped the trailer hitch and dumped it off the blocks) After a neighbor showed me a trick using the blocks to get the trailer up high enough to get it back on the hitch we were off, a little frustrated but on our way just the same. Thanks Larry for you patient instructions and help!
Due to our late start we ended up setting up in a familiar camp with a premium view. It was dark as we pulled in and setting up in the dark is a challenge I hope not to repeat anytime soon. We did a minimum set up and retired early anxious to begin a three day weekend.
Morning was glorious and I explored our camp to discover what a premium site we snagged in out late nite arrival. I also discovered that our winter prices had changed to off season prices so our senior rate qualified us for $2.50 per nite for our lake side view site.
Best yet the campground was nearly deserted with only 4 to 5 campsites occupied each night. Plenty of wide open spaces and quiet, quiet, quiet.
Happy to call Spring Canyon home for the weekend.
The group site might be a great place for a small vintage trailer gather, especially this time of year!
Lots of autumn views and scenery to enjoy in the quiet of the morning.
The Lake Lenore Caves were formed during the
last Ice Age, when catastrophic floods raged across much of Eastern Washington.
These floods carved long and deep ravines or coulees, from solid basalt.
The effect of water freezing and thawing within the basalt formed cracks within the cracks allowing the torrential waters to pluck out rocks along the cracks forming large cracks that formed into caves.
Gravity continues to cause the rocks from the ceiling to fall to the floor in some caves the outer edge nearly rising up to the ceiling. In the future some of these caves could barely be visible.
At least 5,000 years ago native people began using these caves as temporary shelters and a place to work. During the spring and summer, Native Americans visited this area to collect plants, dig roots, fish and hunt. After preparing the food and plant materials, they carried their loads back to permanent villages. They often left behind mats, grinding stones food and supplies for their next visit. These artifacts were removed from the caves and are on display in nearby museums.

Regular price: $24.95
In the first week of the new decade, an emergency phone call shatters Chicago Private Detective Smokey Dalton's hopes for a good 1970. His adopted son Jimmy and Jimmy's best friend and cousin Keith Grimshaw need help.
Smokey arrives at a South Side hotel across from the boys' school in time to clean up a horrible mess, one the boys mostly solve on their own. But the boys' heroic actions echo across all of Chicago. Smokey finds himself standing alone against street gangs, the mob, and the Democratic Machine.
If he fights this battle and fails, he stands to lose not only Jimmy and their future together, but also his life.
In the early cruel winter months of 1970 Smokey Dalton is struggling re-stabilize his life after the gut wrenching events of "Days of Rage". He receives a frantic phone call from his son's friend, Keith Grimshaw. Keith's 13-year-old sister, Lacey, has been lured to the Starlite Hotel and attacked. Smokey hurries to the Starlight and finds that his "son" Jimmy has rescued Lacey from a rapist. He rushes the injured and traumatized girl to hospital.
When Dalton tracks down the rapist, he discovers that Lacey is not the only victim. The Outfit, a mob-based group with political connections has been preying on girls from Lacey's school and brutally forcing them into prostitution. Smokey tries to get help from official channels but soon finds that the police have been bought off and other options are blocked. Then, just when things are starting to look hopeless, he finds unlikely allies. Street justice will be required to stop this evil, and Smokey Dalton and his allies are just the ones to administer it.
I love this series. Smokey Dalton is a real hero.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless had a lot riding on the final game of the regular season.
As pointed out by The Vertical's Bobby Marks, Harkless could earn a $500,000 bonus by shooting 35% or above from three-point range for the season.
Entering the Blazers' regular-season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, Harkless was shooting 35.1% from three for the season.
So, rather than risk that bonus, Harkless did the smart thing — avoid taking a three-pointer.
Harkless still scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in 22 minutes of play, but he didn't make or attempt any threes. As a result, he maintained his 35.1% three-point average and secured the bonus.
While Harkless has never been a three-point ace (likely why he had a bonus attached to his three-point percentage, as incentive to improve), he did average 2.5 attempts from downtown this season. However, in Harkless' final three games, he didn't take any attempts. This, after taking 23 in the month of March.
On Thursday, Harkless confirmed the earnings.

Hey Guys
Now (finally!) the Answers to your Questions about the new Volkswagen Golf 7. I apologize for not publishing them earlier but somehow the list, where I collected what you want to know, was never in the same place as I was :/
I've asked you "What do you want to know" and here now your Questions and my Answers.
If you have any further Questions, let me know!
Let's get started. .
Yes. The standard TSI engine with 63kW/85 hp and 160 Nm will be turbo charged.
2l 4 cylinder TDI ?
No, there wont be such an engine, but the highest one will be a 2.0 TDI with 110kW/150 hp.
Why does it look like a Polo?
Thats mainly because of Volkswagens "Family Face" but also because the Golf is getting bigger, the Polo is growing, too, and so your eyes recognize the "Golf-size" and you think that it's a Golf, although its, from the size, a Polo now.
Does it sound like a Golf when you close the door?
Whoa, good question! Actually I have to confess that I never heard a typical sound when closing a door. .
Will it blend?
Challenge accepted! ;-)
Black glass looking roof?
Thats the transparent Panoramaroof. It reduces, for example, 99% UV radiation.
GTI version, hp & R version, hp
Unfortunately I dont have these Information yet, but after the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March we will know more!
As good as the Golf MK1?
As I, unfortunately, never gas the chance to drive a Golf 1 I cant decide on which the better model is.
Bur the Golf is continuely adapting new features and as the first Golf was already something special I would say the Golf 7 is it as well. A Car that goes with the time and is suitable for every mankind.
Soundsystem, compared to the Audi A3 with Bang&Oluffsen
Compared to the voluminous and deep sound of the A3 with B&O Sound the stock Golf 7 one cant compete in any way!
Its great to listen to Radio, but when you want to put the volume up I would ratger listen to the B&O than to the stock Golf 7 one.
Is it fun to drive?
When you're alown on a road it definitely can be. Every driver drives different but you can have fun while driving, shifting through the DSG with paddles at your steering wheel ir with a regular manual transmission. In case of a "sportier driving" I really recommend not to drive in the automatic mode of the DSG as it was shifting a bit too late and not when I would have wanted it to do.
Would Lisa buy one?
Beside the fact that its a great Car - its a Golf, what else to say - personally for me It would be too "huge" and I wont buy one and would rather go for a Polo or even up!
Most of the time I drive alone, to work, and do not need to carry lots if things. So a Golf would just be a "waste of space" for me and it wouldnt be ecological enough ;)
As mentioned before, If you have any more Questions, tweet to @thecaraddict or write me on Facebook toThe Car Addict :)

Congressional Profile: Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)
Oct 17, 2011
Currently tied for 1st place on our Legislative Scorecard, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is a fitting choice for the premier of our new blog segment: Member of the Week. Sen. Lee currently has a 99% rating on our scorecard, tied only with Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC). He is a staunch defender of conservative principles and does not shy away from bucking party leadership.
Senator Lee was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1971. At the age of 40, he is the youngest current U.S. Senator. His father, Rex Lee, served as the Assistant U.S. Attorney General between 1975 and 1976 during the Ford Administration and the U.S. Solicitor General between 1981 and 1985 during the Reagan Administration.
Sen. Lee's father would discuss constitutional doctrine around the kitchen table, and Sen. Lee attended all of his father's arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. This gave him unique insight into how the judicial branch of the government operated and helped cement his love of politics and the law.
Sen. Lee graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Brigham Young University. He was elected Student Body President his senior year. In 1997, he graduated from BYU's J. Reuben Clark Law School and served as law clerk to Judge Dee Benson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. He then clerked for then-Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Court in Newark, New Jersey.
Following these clerkships, Sen. Lee worked for the D.C. office of Sidley Austin, specializing in appellate and Supreme Court litigation. Several years later, he returned to Utah to serve as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Salt Lake City, and then as then-Governor Jon Huntsman's General Counsel. He then had the chance to reunite with now-Justice Alito for a one-year clerkship. In 2007, he returned to private practice.
Sen. Lee ran for the Senate in 2010, defeating three-term incumbent U.S. Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT) in a primary. He won the general election 62% to 33%. He is one of of the Tea Party backed candidates who have continued to fight for the beliefs that got him into office in the first place.
He currently sits on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Foreign Relations, Judiciary and the Joint Economic Committee.
In April of this year, Sen. Lee joined Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rand Paul (R-KY) to propose legislation that would reform Social Security without raising taxes.
He's also voted against party leadership by opposing "kick the can down the road" spending measures like the CR and the final debt limit deal.
Sen. Lee got his start in politics as a Senate page, delivering correspondence and legislative material inside the Congressional complex.
Now, as a member of the Senate, he supports "constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, individual liberty and economic prosperity."
He currently resides in Alpine, Utah with his wife, Sharon and their three children.
Stay tuned tomorrow for a questionnaire with Senator Lee.

Syria's Assad on Crackdown: 'I Don't Feel Guilty'
No government in the world kills its people, unless it is led by a crazy person, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claimed during an interview on Tuesday.
The statement, logical on the surface, belies months of reports that Assad is waging a brutal, militarized crackdown against peaceful anti-government protestors in the country that his family has ruled for decades. The ongoing Syrian uprising, which began in March, has proved to be one of the bloodiest of all the Arab Spring protest movements, with government forces opening fire on demonstrators, sending tanks into cities, and placing snipers on the roofs of major cities.
Assad told ABC News' Barbara Walters that he is doing his best to protect his people from violent individuals and that he does not feel guilty for his actions.
Every 'brute reaction' was by an individual, not by an institution, that's what you have to know, he said. There is a difference between having a policy to crackdown and between having some mistakes committed by some officials. There is a big difference, said Assad.
There was no command to kill or to be brutal, he added. Most of the people that have been killed are supporters of the government, not the vice versa.
During the interview, Walters showed Assad video of instances where government troops killed civilians and peaceful protestors, which Assad deftly sidestepped.
People went from house to house. Children were arrested. I saw those pictures, Walters said to Assad.
To be frank with you, Barbara,you don't live here, Assad replied.
The interview illuminates one of the most difficult obstacles surrounding the situation in Syria, which is the prohibition on foreign media. State-run news agencies can and will print whatever puts the government in the best light, which allows Assad to quote domestic media outlets. Reporters outside of the country have to rely on reports from activists, another biased source, whose reports Assad can and has refuted.
Still, based on the information it has received, the United Nations says that about 4,000 Syrians have been killed since the protests began in March, a number that many feel is overly-conservative. Additionally, tens of thousands of refugees have fled the country, most of them to neighboring Turkey.
Who said that the United Nations is a credible institution? Assad stated.
As he has done on many occasions, Assad blamed the violence and killings on outside agitators and terrorists, primarily from Turkey, who were trying to destabilize the government. The rhetoric was very similar to that used by Moammar Gadhafi at the beginning of the Libyan uprising.
Assad also added that he was not personally in control of Syria's security force, and so could not be held accountable.
I don't own [the security forces]. I'm president. I don't own the country. So they are not my forces, he told Walters.
Following the ABC interview, the White House was quick to say that it didn't believe Assad's grand claims.
It is just not credible, White House spokesman Jay Carney stated in response to the interview.
The world has witnessed what has happened in Syria. The United States and many, many other nations around the world who have come together to condemn the atrocious violence in Syria perpetrated by the Assad regime know exactly what's happening and who is responsible, he said. I don't think anybody who watched that interview would find Mr. Assad's answers credible.
On Tuesday, the Obama Administration sent the U.S. ambassador to Syria back to Damascus after removing him from the capital two months prior. Ambassador Robert Ford left Syria after pro-Assad protestors stormed the embassy.
Ford has been a vocal supporter of the opposition and has met with protest leaders on occasion, and has urged the Syrian president to end his brutality.
Both Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have met with Syrian opposition figures in the past week. Clinton met with exiled activists in Switzerland to hear their plans for a new government, while Biden spoke with Turkish politicians about resolving the crisis and helping those on the group.
(To) the extent we talked about any 'what-next' steps, there were generic discussions about having to go in and provide some help and possibly economic assistance and stability, not militarily, but helping the Syrians, Biden said after a visit to Turkey.
We're in this to see Assad come down and then determine what would be the most helpful thing for the international community to do to establish stability in that country.

Superheroes and Princesses
In case you were wondering what to get Reese or Mason for their upcoming birthdays, I thought these pictures from the last week might give you a hint.
The Superhero stage. We are there.
And Reese is getting more comfortable with the whole idea of dressing up... but only if she has to or is with other friends who are into that. Now, that could change here in a couple months when we go to Disney World and she gets to see all the real princesses. In this picture she was attending a Princess themed birthday party. What I love about her is that she loves getting dirty, playing with frogs, and could go without brushing her hair for days. But she can clean up and do the princess thing too. I wonder which direction she'll go??? I LOVE that girl.

Genre has left the Victorian era behind and taken a leap into the Underworld with the opening of its April round. The theme was open to a variety of interpretations and while quite a few designers seem to have had a certain series of movies in mind, you will also find items such as demonic horns, portals into other worlds and dark altars, to name but a few.
The 6th Midwinter Fair has opened its doors, welcoming visitors to a sample a mix of new releases, gachas and best-selling items from 50 creators. The line-up mixes well-known names such as Junbug, Faida, Fallen Gods and Bliensen+MaiTai with brands that I am less familiar with and it is one of those that I am featuring in these shots, together with some new jewellery pieces from the Plastik.
