Bunch Your Taxes and Save
One of the drawbacks to low mortgage rates is that the total interest and property taxes paid for the year may be lower than the standard deduction. A little planning might be able to help you at least every other year.
Most homeowners know they can deduct their qualified mortgage interest and property taxes on their Schedule A of their 1040 tax return or to take the standard deduction if it is greater. See Your Deduction…Your Choice.
Deductions are taken in the year that they're actually paid. If a homeowner paid their 2012 property taxes in 2013, they would not be deductible on their 2012 tax return. Then, if the 2013 property taxes were paid in 2013, both the 2012 and 2013 taxes could be deducted on the 2013 Schedule A.
By delaying the payment of the 2012 taxes until 2013, the combination of the 2012 and 2013 taxes might exceed the 2013 standard deduction and provide a higher deduction.
Other Schedule A expenses such as charitable contributions and medical expenses may be bunched also. From a practical standpoint, since most mortgage payments are due monthly, the mortgage interest would not be bunched.
This information should be discussed with your tax advisor to see how it might apply to your individual situation. The key is you must be aware of the strategy early to be able to use it.
Eliminate Mortgage Insurance
Pre-paying your mortgage can save thousands in interest and build equity in your home. As cheap as mortgage rates are currently, they're higher than you can earn on your savings. If you don't need the money any time soon, pre-paying the mortgage can be the better investment.
If you have a FHA loan, pre-paying the mortgage can also benefit you by eliminating the annual mortgage insurance premium early. For example, if a person bought a home for $175,000 with a 3.5% down payment on a 4% FHA loan, the monthly mortgage insurance would be $178.99.
It would take 116 months or over 9.5 years to reduce the principal enough to cancel the MIP. If the borrower would make additional principal contributions of $285.32 per month, the MIP would not be required after five years. Beginning June 3, 2013, mortgage insurance on FHA loans will be required for the life of the mortgage.
The elimination of MIP would lower payments or a buyer could continue making the higher payments to reduce the principal and retire the loan sooner.
FHA mortgages with terms longer than 15 years, the MIP can be cancelled when the loan-to-value reaches 78% after a minimum of five years. With normal amortization, that would take about 10-12 years.
Another alternative to eliminate the MIP is to refinance the home with a conventional loan. If the loan-to-value is less than 80%, the MIP would no longer be required and a lower interest rate may be available.
Maintaining Comfort
Some people refer to the heating and air conditioning systems as the "comfort systems." If you've ever had to be without one in the dead of winter or the heat of summer, lack of comfort may be an understatement. Simple maintenance with a HVAC checklist is something that every homeowner can perform.
- Change your filter every 90 days; every 30 days if you have shedding pets.
- Maintain at least two feet of clearance around outdoor air conditioning units and heat pumps.
- Don't allow leaves, grass clippings, lint or other things to block circulation of coils.
- Inspect insulation on refrigerant lines leading into house monthly and replace if missing or damaged.
Annual, in spring
- Confirm that outdoor air conditioning units and heat pumps are on level pads.
- Pour bleach in the air conditioner's condensation drain to clear mold and algae which can cause a clog.
- Avoid closing more than 20% of a home's registers to keep from overworking the system.
- Replace the battery in the home's carbon monoxide detector.
Even with the attention that perfoming this list will provide, it is recommended that you have your units serviced annually by a licensed contractor. Furnaces can be inspected for carbon monoxide leaks and preventative maintenance may help avoid costly repairs. Click Here if you'd like a recommendation.
Your Deduction – Your Choice
Taxpayers are allowed to decide each year whether to take the standard deduction or to itemize their deduction when filing their personal income tax returns. Roughly, 75% of households with more than $75,000 income and most homeowners itemize their deductions.
The 2012 standard deduction, available to all taxpayers, regardless of whether they own a home, is $11,900 for married filing jointly and $5,950 for single taxpayers.
Let's look at an example of a homeowner couple with a $150,000 mortgage at 3.5%. The standard deduction would give them $2,650 more than the total of their interest paid and property taxes of approximately $9,250. If they were in the 28% tax bracket, the actual tax savings would be $742.00.
When mortgage rates were considerably higher, many people expected the interest and property taxes to easily exceed the standard deduction but with today's low rates, a comparison is certainly justified.
There are other things that could come into consideration like charitable contributions, medical expenses and casualty losses. Tax professionals will compare available alternatives to find the one that will benefit the taxpayer most.
For more information, see www.IRS.gov and consult a tax advisor.
Low Inventories Indicate a Trend
Low inventory is a relative term depending on how you're comparing it. Would the comparison be to total number of homes on the market last year, homes in a certain price range or homes in a certain area? In some situations, it's a combination of all of those things.
In any given market, inventories will fluctuate based on area and price range. The National Association of REALTORS® considers a balanced market to be six months' supply of homes. If it takes longer than six months to sell, it is thought to be a buyer's market and less than six months, a seller's market. Most buyers and sellers probably feel inventory equilibrium is more like three month's supply of homes.
Inventory has a direct impact on price. During the housing bubble, demand decreased, supply ballooned to four million houses and prices dropped dramatically. Increased inventories due to foreclosures, bank' revised lending practices and builder's lack of new housing starts each contributed to the dramatically lower prices.
As the market has recovered, economic conditions have improved, banks have loosened their requirements, interest rates have remained low, foreclosures have slowed and gradually, the inventory has been reduced to approximately two million houses. When demand is constant but inventory is reduced, price tends to increase because the same number of people are trying to buy a smaller than normal number of homes.
Based on the low mortgage rates that have been inching up each week in 2013 and an improving consumer confidence level, most markets are experiencing some increase in demand. With inventory decreasing, buyers in the marketplace can see that prices are increasing.
Just as signs of spring can be seen to be just around the corner, it should be recognized what direction prices will be moving. Hindsight is 20/20 but we can't purchase or sell in the past. We need to make decisions today on what we think will happen in the future.
If you're curious to know what inventory conditions are for your specific market, send me an email with the price range and area and I'll send you a report. email@example.com

Have just come across an interesting fact from a NOVA documentary on evolution. Bacteria are among the few creatures that use a rotary motor, their bacterial flagellum, for propulsion. The comments about it in this documentary also point out one of the fundamental flaws in genetic algorithms. From the perspective of the genetic algorithm there is a point A which is bad and point B which is substantially better, however in order for the genetic algorithm to venture from point A to point B most of the steps along the way have to show improvement. It may happen that there was an in between stage that was useful, as evidence shows happened in the bacteria's case, but that relies a lot on luck.
However, genetic algorithms still have the potential to create unique solutions to problems. For instance, a genetic algorithm could be set up that would, with a little luck, eventually write a quine in C. To set up the environment, start by cutting the size to 200 characters (27 letters + 10 numbers + 20 misc = 57 possible chars) which is 57^200 possible programs. Put another way, many times more than the number of atoms in the universe (a mere 10^82), though ideally quickly narrows this number. Breeding is done by sporadic character insertion of two programs.
Next, to set up the reward structure. If the breeding produces a program that compiles, points for that offspring, increasing its longevity. If it produces output, more points. And if it starts to produce output identical to the front of its output, many more points. Finally, if it produces the exact same output as itself, it wins and the algorithm completes.
It does of course matter greatly how the environment is set up, in particular the breeding and rewards system. Using a language which offers fewer characters and is more likely to produce compilable output also increases the chance of success.
DNA is particularly elegant because so much produces viable candidates (creatures), which is ideal in genetic algorithms. The genetic algorithms batches just do the best they can with the parameters they are given. Living creatures are the same.

It was Valentine's Day and there was no way in which one of Bollywood's hottest lovebirds, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra would not meet. The handsome hunk was spotted outside Alia's home on the most romantic day of the year. It looked like the two were a little exasperated to see the paparazzis trailing them even on this day. But what to do…people have a lot of interest in their jodi.
And the interest has only intensified after hearing what they have to say about each other. If you are not getting what we're saying, see the latest episode of Koffee with Karan that had Varun Dhawan and Alia.
Well, Alia was dressed casually as she was clicked in the car. The gal wore white and blue while Sidharth Malhotra was seen in a grey tee with cap. While we know he likes the sporty look, we really wish he shows off his great hair more often. While Alia's expression ranged from exasperation to indifference while spotting the lensman, Sidharth did not show any emotion.
After all, they would like to have some outings where they are not being chased like this. The woes of being a celeb couple. In fact, it really looked that Alia was upset being trailed 24×7 whenever with Sidharth but just about controlled her displeasure.
On the latest episode of Koffee with Karan, Varun took Sidharth's name time and again clarifying the relationship status between the Baar Baar Dekho and Udta Punjab actress. She also said that she would love to make out with Sidharth when asked about her take on hottest men in Bollywood.
Alia also said that she would not mind going to jail for her Student of the Year and Kapoor and Sons co-actor. Now, those were confessions we heard and loved.
The gal also said on the show that her love life was better than she had expected it to be. While she is quite vocal, Sidharth is always more circumspect while talking about his rumoured ladylove. The two do not give out statements but seem to be pros at teasing their fans.

Women's Olympic 200-Meter Dash 2012: Previewing Favorites and Dark-Horse RunnersAugust 7, 2012
Women's Olympic 200-Meter Dash 2012: Previewing Favorites and Dark-Horse Runners
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Jamaican track team almost completely dominated the medal podium in the short-distance sprints, winning gold in the all of the men's and women's 100- and 200-meter races, in addition to two silvers and a bronze.
This year's women's 200-meter race promises to be a more diverse field. Though the Jamaicans are still represented by defending champion Veronica Campbell-Brown and defending 100-meter champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the American trio of Allyson Felix, Carmelita Jeter and Sanya Richards-Ross, as well as a few other international competitors, hope to knock the Jamaicans off the medal stand.
The 200-meter semifinal will be run on Tuesday, Aug. 7, at 3:25 p.m. EDT, with the final on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 4 p.m. EDT.
Here is a look at the four favorites to win medals in the 200 meters, as well as three dark horses who could find their way onto the medal podium.
Favorite: Veronica Campbell-Brown
Veronica Campbell-Brown is the defending world champion and two-time defending Olympic champion in the 200 meters, so despite her less than overwhelming performance in the qualifiers, she is the favorite to repeat in London.
Campbell-Brown doesn't like to lose heats, finishing first in both her qualifying and semifinal heats at the 2008 Olympics and the 2011 World Championships, so her third-place finish in her heat on Monday behind two inferior runners could be cause for concern.
She is 30 years old, three years older than Sanya Richards-Ross, and it is possible that age is starting to take its toll on the Jamaican sprinting legend.
Still, Campbell-Brown has finished with either a gold or silver medal in the 200 at every World Championship since 2007 and is the proud owner of six Olympic medals. Though she faces tough competition from the trio of American sprinters, she is the presumptive favorite.
Favorite: Sanya Richards-Ross
Sanya Richards-Ross is still beaming after her gold medal-winning performance in the 400 meters, her specialty event, and she has her sights set on another gold medal in the 200. Though she posted the best time in the 200 meters in the qualifying heats, Richards-Ross will likely have to settle for contending for a silver or bronze in the event.
Of the American trio of Richards-Ross, Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter, Richards-Ross is the third-best 200-meter sprinter in the group. She finished third behind Felix and Jeter at the Olympic trials, earning the right to run in the event by only 0.12 seconds. She is also the only one of the trio not to earn a medal in the event at the 2011 World Championships.
Richards-Ross is proving that she's a talent not to be dismissed in any event she runs in, and her 22.48 second qualifying time would have earned her a fourth-place finish at the 2011 World Championships.
Still, she will have to face off against Felix and Jeter, and Richards-Ross just can't quite keep up with them at the shorter distance of 200 meters.
Favorite: Allyson Felix
Veronica Campbell-Brown may be the favorite to win the 200 meters due to her dominance of the event for nearly the past decade, but Allyson Felix is ready to take the crown.
Felix finished first at the Olympic trials with a time of 21.69 seconds, her personal best. She was only slightly slower at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a time of 21.93 seconds, good enough for a silver medal behind Campbell-Brown.
Jeter pulled ahead of Felix at the 2011 World Championships with a time of 22.37 seconds to Felix's 22.42 seconds, but Felix is still the superior 200-meter runner. Felix won gold in the event at the 2005, 2007 and 2009 World Championships and has a silver medal in the event from Athens to complement her Beijing silver.
Favorite: Carmelita Jeter
Carmelita Jeter and Allyson Felix seem to take turns winning 200-meter races. Though Felix was faster at the Olympic trials by 0.42 seconds, Jeter bested Felix at the 2011 World Championships by .05 seconds to win the silver medal.
Jeter won her qualifying heat in 22.65 seconds, a hair faster than Felix's time of 22.71 seconds, though both were able to let up significantly at the ends of their heats.
As outstanding as Jeter is in the 200, she is even better in the 100, while Felix is a 200-meter specialist. Felix's additional focus on the event will likely earn her the edge over Jeter, but that is far from a foregone conclusion. Expect Jeter to contend for the silver medal, and she is the likely favorite to win the bronze.
Dark Horse: Murielle Ahoure
It came as a surprise to no one that Sanya Richards-Ross posted the best time in the qualifying heats at 22.48 seconds.
What was surprising was that the second-best time of 22.55 seconds wasn't posted by any of the trio of favored Americans, nor the defending Olympic gold medalist and world champion, but instead by the Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure, who didn't even compete in the 2011 World Championships.
Ahoure is not widely known outside the track and field world, but she has impressive credentials. She won the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championship in the 200 while a student at the University of Miami and has improved her personal best outdoor time from 22.78 seconds in 2009 to 22.42 seconds in 2012, a time that would have been good enough to tie for the bronze at the 2011 World Championships and finish seventh at the 2008 Olympics.
Ahoure has the advantage of excellent reflexes; her reaction time in the qualifiers of 0.155 seconds was the best of anyone who won her heat.
Ahoure has run the 200 meters far less in elite international competition than her top competitors, and she is very much an unproven entity. Still, she has proven that with a good start, she has the necessary speed to compete for a medal and is a strong dark horse to finish with the bronze medal.
Dark Horse: Mariya Ryemen
Mariya Ryemen of Ukraine won her heat in the qualifying round, an impressive feat made all the more impressive by the fact that she beat defending world and Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, who finished in third place, by 0.17 seconds.
Ryemen's time of 22.58 seconds was third-best in the qualifying heats, trailing only Sanya Richards-Ross and Murielle Ahoure.
Ryemen is best known for the 100 meters, but lately she has found much more success at the longer distance of 200. She won gold in the event at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki with a time of 23.05 seconds, finishing ahead of fellow Ukranian Hrystyna Stuy, who finished seventh at last year's World Championships.
Ryemen just missed out on qualifying for the finals at the 2011 World Championships, posting a time of 22.94 in the semifinal, just .06 seconds below the cutoff. She is already running faster in London and expects not to fall short this time.
Dark Horse: Aleksandra Fedoriva
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Russia's Aleksandra Fedoriva missed qualifying for the final 200-meter race when she finished last in her semifinal group, posting a time of 23.22 seconds.
With her time of 22.61 seconds in Monday's qualifying heat, Fedoriva looks like a whole new runner compared to the 19-year-old she was in Beijing.
Fedoriva runs a variety of short distances, winning gold in 2008 as part of Russia's 4x100 relay team, earning a silver and a bronze at the 2012 World Indoor Championships in the 400 and 4x400 relay and winning gold in the 2009 European U-23 Championships.
Fedoriva ran in the weakest of the groups in the opening heats, but her time, which put her in second place in her heat, would have earned her the top spot in three of the five other groups.
Fedoriva is unlikely to medal given the strong field she is running against, but a good start could keep her close to the front of the pack.

During the clinics, children under five have their weight, temperature and height recorded, as well as receiving a general check-up to monitor any skin infections, wounds or other signs of illness they may have.As well as the under-fives clinic, the two volunteers also run a training workshop every Friday afternoon. They teach the local community about important health issues, such as: first aid, hygiene, malaria, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and blood pressure.
Since these clinics started we have seen very positive results. Common childhood illnesses are being caught and treated early, the burden of travelling long distances to access healthcare is being lifted from hard working mothers and because of our training sessions and wound care advice less children are suffering from skin infections, and wounds are being thoroughly washed and dressed, resulting in quicker healing times.
Taking healthcare into the heart of rural communities like this is key to saving lives and improving long term health.

The Perfect Bomber Jacket For Fall
Happy New Year! Yeah, I am about a week or so late but I've been so busy trying to stick to my New Year's resolutions and let me tell you, I'm struggling. To end the year My boyfriend and I visited a cool coffee shop in Oakland called Timeless Coffee. They had vegan pastries! VEGAN! To be honest I am not mad that this was our last @CoffeeWithBae coffee date. If you're in the Bay Area, its a must have coffee shop to visit, I am definitely planning on going back.
Anywho, I finally found it, the perfect bomber jacket! It literally took me a whole year to find the one. But I was being a bit picky. I wanted to get a jacket that was black and had a bold statement in the back but did not look tacky. After searching and searching, I finally found it. Honestly, everyone needs a statement jacket. I am that one person that likes to wear a lot of black, white, gray or olive green. Since I mainly stick to those colors I like to have statement pieces and this jacket is one of them. I purchased mine from Forever 21 and paired this jacket up with some black jeans and booties. It's the perfect outfit to go run errands or simply enjoy a coffee date with bae.

DATA Recovery
Based in Walthamstow E17, we trade within London and some areas of Essex and Kent. We come to your location.
The process of data recovery is the rescuing data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or unattainable storage media when it cannot be accessed. The storage media is referred to as hard disk drives, storage tapes, USB drives, memory sticks, and other electronic devices.
The data recovery is usually classified within three types of failures:
Physical damage always causes at least some data loss, and in many cases the logical structures of the file system are damaged as well. This causes logical damage that must be dealt with before any files can be salvaged from the failed media. Logical damage is primarily caused by power outages that prevent file system structures from being completely written to the storage medium, but problems with hardware and drivers, as well as system crashes, can have the same effect. The result is that the file system is left in an inconsistent state. This can cause a variety of problems, such as strange drives reporting negative amounts of free space, system crashes, or an actual loss of data. When there is a disk-level failure, such as a compromised file system or disk partition or a hard disk failure. In any of these cases, the data cannot be easily read. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the file system, partition table or master boot record, or hard disk recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data to hardware replacement on a physically damaged disk. If hard disk recovery is necessary (usually when hard drives make a knocking noise), the disk itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.
When data have been physically overwritten on a hard disk it is generally assumed that the previous data are no longer possible to recover. However, if you have lost your data, have deleted some documents or images we should be able to help you.
How much will it cost?
The cost of recovery depends on the type and amount of work required, for most of the failures described previously as type 1 and 2; we charge a fee of £150 per hard drive. We do not do data recovery service of type 3, usually the ones where there is physical damage to the hard drive/memory device or in case there is a mechanical failure.
How long will it take?
It usually takes about 48 hours for failures within type 1 and 2.
How will you return the recovered data to me?
We can return recovered data to you in any way you care to specify; CD, DVD or a replacement hard drive. We recommend that your data should be returned on a new, replacement hard drive.

Random viruses | win 7 antivirus 2013?
So last night I was watching One Piece on Watch One Piece Episode 399 English Subbed - WatchOP.com. After I watched the episode, Google Chrome ends all my processes (facebook, wtfteam, and that One Piece site listed above) and a pop up window says I have viruses in my computer, and that I need to get a registered copy if Windows 7 Antivirus Plus 2013 to get rid of the viruses I seemed to have just obtained. What scared me the most is that whatever trial program of Win 7 Antivirus Plus 2013 I had installed on there, prevented me from accessing any of my programs, browsers, even men, skype, and ccleaner. The reason was that the pop up window said was that the programs could get Internet viruses by opening the program. Even after I said continue opening the program, it still didn't open.
Practically my computer...can't be used to open any programs at all. I do have a Norton Security product to use, but I didn't bother touch it because I was using MS Security Essentials, and nothing seemed to go wrong while using it.
I'm kind of frightened at what I should do, if I can even do anything. I'm accessing the Internet through the use of my Kindle Fire. Please help?

Fun with history
Someone at the National Archives has gone through the WWI draft database and found the registrations from several celebrities, sports figures and politicians:
Notable Registrants of the WWI draft.
It includes some men I wouldn't have thought were that old at time of the first war, like Sam Rayburn, Adlai Stevenson. Here's Sam Ervin's card. Note the little tab in the corner that says 'tear off if registrant is of African descent'. Primitive database sorting.
Also interesting: the registration for Alvin York. He claimed an exemption from duty on the grounds "don't want to fight".

Golf has been around in some form for hundreds of years. There are even suggestions that it has been around for thousands of years, dating back to the ancient Romans. Some historians believe the Romans played a version of the game involving a leather ball and sticks. Whatever the case, it grew into the game it is today in the British Isles. The game of golf evolved first with links courses and then expanded into various courses that fit different terrains.
A links course includes gently undulating hills, sand traps, and usually a coastline. Some of the earliest golf courses were links courses because they fit the terrain and weather of the British coasts. For many people, a links course is still the best and most authentic way to play golf. If you want to get back to the original spirit of the game, you need to try a links course.
However, there are golf courses all over the world because the game is so adaptable. There are golf courses in places around the globe that might not be links courses but are just as fun. In fact, some golfers prefer the more modern courses. They sometimes have steeper hills, more sand traps, or different hazards. The style of play is different and the challenges are distinct. In truth, most golfers prefer variety. There is a country that is known for the variety of its golf courses: Australia.
Golfing in Australia
Australia has an incredible climate for golf. Due to the incredibly favourable conditions, golf tours in Australia give golfers a taste of many different kinds of courses. The coasts have links courses that borrow from the origins of the game. However, you can also find many different kinds of courses throughout the different states. There are courses that take advantage of the arid climate in certain areas, while in other areas the courses are practically subtropical. Australian golf courses have been praised the world over as some of the best golf courses in the world. Much of that is due to the weather in Australia that is very conducive to growing and maintaining a quality golf course.
Finding the Right Tour
Finding the right tour can be difficult. Australia is a large country and has dozens of golf courses. Many of its golf courses are ranked as some of the best in the world. You should decide what your priorities are before you decide on a tour. If your priorities are playing on certain golf courses, you should look for a tour that hits the golf courses you would like to play on. If you are more concerned with seeing certain cities or states, you should look for a tour that hits those places. Due to the large number of courses, there are many options for tours; you're almost guaranteed to find one that fits many of your needs. You should book with a respected company that has a history of providing tours to its customers. You shouldn't trust just anybody who claims to be a tour company. Look for one with a history and proven record.

Sitting near the outer walls of Banwalt sits an inn. It is small and squat, wedged between row after row of houses, windows dark. It sits next to one of the grand gates of the city, one of the guardhouses directly opposite, the guards having left their posts for the night. A sign swings above its door, moved slowly by the evening breeze. The sign depicts a great portcullis, crawling with grapevines, fruit-laden. The windows shine with a comforting orange glow, casting light on the cobbled streets.
The inside of the inn is warm, lit in a flickering orange light by the fire burning merrily in the blackened stone hearth. The room is full of the low chatter of late night conversation, filling the air with a pleasant hubbub. The inn is small, but cosy, and packed with all kinds of patrons, Most of them working people, particularly city guards, stopping to have a drink after a hard days work. The barman, a red haired youth, stands behind the bar his hands constantly moving, cleaning flagons and pouring drinks. In one corner sits Percival, still in his full armour and noble regalia, polished spear leant up against the table and his helm resting next to it. He sits, one hand on a mug of ale, seemingly chatting to a small group of people surrounding his table. In a loud voice, he tells stories of his adventures, of his career as a knight errant.
"And there I was, deep in the great north woods of Drouwe. My only companion my spear and shield. I knew the bear had to be somewhere in the area, the locals had been talking about this creature for months now. A gigantic man-eater, they said it was a demon taken animal form, with great red eyes and claws like scythe blades. It had spent the last few weeks taking livestock and destroying barns for the food stocks, but recently, thanks to a famine, it had started taking travellers from nearby roads, and isolated woodsmen from the nearby logging camps. I stood outside of its den, a cave littered with bones and scraps of fur, my spear readied and shield raised, as I stepped into the darkness. I saw it there, a huge creature, its bark-brown fur coming out in great clumps, its eyes red and bloodshot. Those eyes looked into me for an instant before..." At this point, Percival stopped as he saw a figure on the edge of his vision, pinning him with a stare like wrought iron.

Theodora Arzswin
Human // plotter
It was not often Theodora of Arzswin, third of her name, found herself in the small inn that had garnered quite a reputation among the guardsfolk and fighter types swarming the city. It was appreciated not only for it's grub and drink, nor the able barman whose family has held the place for three generations, but for its daring position outside the second wall, where the smell of the forest would still reach in dark and humid nights and the old guards with their busted knees and aching backs and the young ones, still filled with adventure, could all pretend like the stuff of the stories they told as the evening went on was right outside their door, waiting to be struck by their sword and bested by their bravery.
It was less often, still, that Theodora of Arzswin, third of her name, found herself listening to one of the stories told at the inn. The man had caught her fancy; and it was hard not to have noticed him, as he was rather loud in a way that was unkind to her ears. His story seemed like nothing special - a foul beast was a foul beast, and Theodora had slain many of them, some which others would call human - and yet he had gathered a crowd. Curious, she had eyed the stranger, needing to find what attracted listeners to his tale like flies. He had an old face, one that was weathered and tired and called his young voice liar, and mannerisms and clothing that betrayed his noble status. Theodora herself thought to be quite adept at hiding her class if she wished so, as she had done for the better part of the last century - not in Banwalt, of course, where her family name itself was a synonym for nobility. Even clad in the worn out clothes of a mercenary, the scratched armor with the worn through leather clasps and walking on the hard wood cane she had whittled herself the innkeep had insisted on showing her courtesy. The mug in his hand was still quite full, and a bottle in reach to assure it would stay just so.
When her gaze fell upon the insignia, interest turned into a numb cold, and she steeled her gaze. She hadn't recognized it right away, perhaps because she felt the warm comfort of spirit paw at her head and chest, perhaps because the light failed to illuminate his armor or his loud voice had masked his other features; Theodora took a healthy swig of ale. The man was Drouwic.
Northern, she thinks - must be. The style of armor and clothes so popular in Southern Drouwe, ugly and gaudy and fitted at all the wrong places, and making such a gruesome sound when split apart, she would have recognized between two heartbeats. Bold of him to wear his country on his chest, a patriot, an idiot - a Drouwe. Bold of him to speak so loudly, breathe so loudly, have his weapon displayed so proudly and glistening in the flickering lights. Bold of him to appear before her in his armor and regalia, begging her to demonstrate that gruesome sound. His voice, that had seemed simply confident to her before, was now overbearing, annoying, grating at her nerves, and she had to steady her hand with a harsh grip on her cane to keep it from screaming her agitation to the other patrons. She listened to his words, now, and it was clear that he was telling a story of home, not a story of adventure - or perhaps to him, it was both. To Theodora, it was unbearable.
Did the others not know? Did they not care? Theodora sneered; no, they wouldn't. They were too young to remember.
The Drouwe stopped, and his eyes met hers and she felt for a second as if he recognized her, too, as she had him - recognized her as his enemy. She lifted her head, tilted her chin backwards and straightened her back, never minding the dull pain spreading in her hip. She steadied her eyes, trained them on his icy blue, and found a smirk play around the corners of her mouth.
"Do go on, Drouwe", she spoke into the upcoming murmur as the crowd waited for the relief of tension, "Do go on and finish your little story, in your time." The cane in her good hand makes a hearty thump as she steps forward, to give her voice a figure. "But know just as well that any good and true Harlanter will know that there is no beast more foul and unlucky than a Drouwe that doesn't know when to quiet his voice."

Percival sits, utterly gobsmacked. His face, stuck in mid breath, hangs loose like a particularly vexed sailcloth, caught in a sudden gale. It had been quite a while since he got this bad a reaction. Of course, he knew of the war, and had had the odd comment on his nationality, but his well equipped appearance and reputation as an adventurer in some areas kept most of the stigma away from him. Nevertheless, seeing the expression on this woman's face, he knew for sure that she had seen the war at first hand. From his time travelling through his homeland, winding his way south, he had seen a great many fighters and warriors from this war, and he knew the look and attitude well, the cold eyes and scars told of the glory and honor of warfare. Although he would never class himself as a knight of any kind, he still saw the figure in front of him, and saw the fighting spirit that he had admired and idolised in warriors and especially the knights of drouwe and harlant all of his life.
He looks up, composing himself, and nods his head in admiration of the brazenness of the comment. "I apologize, I did not know that my accent was still such a sore topic in these lands, I thought you Harlanters were supposed to be so welcoming" He gives a slightly pained smile, before continuing "I would like to point out that my own family have caused you no injury, the Greenmantles have not been able to hold military positions for centuries. I am in your lands, true, but I seek no harm, what trouble do I cause by simply sitting in this corner and telling my tales? as you have no doubt noticed, i have certainly gained rather the audience" He flings his arms wide with a clatter of plate, gesturing to the silent group of faces around him, all of which watching the new figure with a mixture of fear, respect, and awe.
The air was thick with silence. It hung in the air like cold tar, coating every surface, and muting even the sundry sounds of the bar, the squeaking of mug on table, the uncorking of bottles, and even the grinding of chair on floorboards, dampened by the thick atmosphere in the room.
Percival looks up, and raises a shining, gauntlet-ed hand in simple military-style salute, while looking into the intense steely eyes of the figure in front of him, while he breaks the silence with "Knight of harlant. The grand duel is over, and your prowess won the day. It would be wrong of me to hold ill will towards my competitor now the games have ceased. Please, sit with me, and we can drink as fellows. I can tell you are a warrior yourself, perhaps you too have stories to tell?" He smiles warmly and genuinely, gesturing to an empty seat opposite him, even though he is obviously guarded with half an eye on his weapon at all times.

Endemic Birds of Sri Lanka
For an Island of its size, Sri Lanka has a high density of species of birds. A total of 444 birds have been recorded including migrants. No less than 33 species of birds are endemic, found nowhere else in the world. The mixed species feding flocks in Sinharaja (dubbed the 'Rainforest Rainbow') are the largest in the world. The birds are also relatively tame and easy to watch

A Rake's Progress, a series of eight etchings by English engraver and painter William Hogarth, was printed as social commentary for the 18th-century audience. The series focuses on the demise of Tom Rakewell, the heir of a prosperous merchant, who squanders his inheritance on an extravagant lifestyle.
In the second etching of this series Rakewell is dressed in expensive clothing and is seen embracing his new lifestyle in his magnificent new London home. He is surrounded by instructors of the arts who offer their services to the newly wealthy young man. Hogarth demonstrates that Rakewell has replaced the prudent lifestyle of his father in exchange for a flamboyant, aristocratic position in London society.

Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio said he'll take the blame for the hit delivered by Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham that resulted in a concussion for UF quarterback Tim Tebow on Saturday night.
Wyndham came off the left edge, untouched by tackle Matt Patchan and nailed Tebow, who then slammed his head against right tackle Marcus Gilbert's knee. Instead of blocking Wyndham on the outside, Patchan went inside and Tebow didn't appear to see Wyndham coming until he was hit.
Even with a wide-open lane for Wyndham, Addazio said it was the scheme that was the issue, not one of his players.
"In our deal there�s 11 guys that gotta get (their jobs) done," Addazio said of the play. "They got roles that they gotta fulfill. Different pressures come and different things happen and we executed it and unfortunately, Tim got a shot there.
"Every protection, there�s an answer and there are times you get something you�re not supposed to get."
Addazio never said exactly what went wrong on the play, but that the Gators were in a five-man protection and that the incident was a "freak" occurrence because of a timing issue, not a personnel issue. Addazio added it's his responsibility as offensive coordinator to make sure the right scheme works.
"We�ve been in this protection for five years, so I don�t think there was a reflection of any one guy, per say, like this guy here did not do his job," he said. "It�s not really the case. You had a collection of a couple of hard things that went together � and the minute that happens � then it�s got to be reflective on only one person and that�s me.
"It�s not like some guy said, 'OK, I'm not going to get my job done.'"
Thompson's health
Addazio said Monday redshirt sophomore wide receiver Deonte Thompson (hamstring) was "close" to playing against the Wildcats.
He was seen warming up before the game by running and catching a few passes, but ended up spending the game on the sideline for the second consecutive week.
With two weeks until No. 1 Florida (4-0, 2-0 SEC) plays at No. 4 LSU (4-0, 2-0 SEC), Addazio said he anticipates Thompson will play.
"I'm not the medical guy, but I think he�s doing great," Addazio said.
"From what I understand, he�s doing well."
Gilbert honored
Gilbert earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors following the Gators� 41-7 victory over Kentucky, the league office announced Monday.
Gilbert graded out a �Champion� for the fourth-consecutive week and helped Florida to 362 yards rushing in the win, the most by Florida against an SEC opponent since 1989 (Vanderbilt).
Notebook: Addazio takes responsibility for Tebow hit
Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio said he'll take the blame for the hit delivered by Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham that resulted in a concussion for UF quarterback Tim Tebow on Saturday night.

It's been a mooky day in the Dales. You know, murky and a bit spooky. Being surrounded by little kiddiewinks at school all day things can get a little insular, like being in a Yorkshire bubble. So I'm not sure if it was some weird microclimate or have other people been hit by this fog? The littlies weren't deterred by it and relished 'running through the clouds'. Oh to be that glass half full…! I wasn't going to be the one to curb their lust for life and smiled as I watched them take turns at trying to hold 'cloud' in their hands.
As I made my way home mid afternoon I showed the winding country roads the respect they demand on days like this. Trundling along, I took my time and savoured the prospect of a cosy evening indoors. So vastly different from the balmy evenings of the summer, but just as satisfying.
A lot of people hate the colder months, feeling claustrophobic inside 4 walls and longing for spring to return so they can be released back outdoors. Granted, the autumn/winter evenings feel a lot shorter so you don't feel like you get quite the same amount of time outside of work. Nevertheless, there are heaps of benefits to be grabbed from the dark nights and blustery weather.
Here are 4 joys of mooky nights.
Joy #1: They give you full permission to wear your Pyjamas as soon a you get home.
If you took a poll of any given demographic 95% would tell you that pyjamas (or onesies for those that can wear them without suffering from the traumatic onesie wedgie) are their comfy clothes of choice and 5% would be lying. Not only does it feel fabulous after you've been sucked into slightly-too-small trousers all day but it's like shedding all the rubbish you've had to deal with that day. Neither Rude customers nor stressful traffic delays can do diddly squat to you now you're in your flannel pants.
Joy #2: The baggy pyjamas you're wearing hides a multitude of sins so you can go to town with comfort food.
Everyone has a go to list of comfort food favourites. Butternut squash soup, cheese toasties and Sunday roasts all make feel warm and fuzzy. But when you've been out in the cold, there's little more comforting than warming up with thick and creamy hot chocolate. Go on, reach for those mini marshmallows, I won't tell anyone.
Joy #3: They help the littlies fall asleep at a bearable hour.
Please tell me I'm not the only one trying to convince some very unconvinced children that it's bedtime in the middle of summer? When the sun is still glowing it's hard for littlies to give up on the day and give way to peaceful slumber. And when they finally do fall asleep, parents are left frantically hoping they've not left a crack in the blackout curtains that will wake their children at 5am. Not in the autumn. By the time November rolls around, when desperation calls, you could easily fool your kids into believing its sleepy time by 6.30. I mean, I've never done that myself. No, not me, not ever…
Joy #4: The dark evenings beg for candlelight.
Sure, July may give you bbqs and picnics but it hardly gets dark enough to get those candles lit. It just looks silly. This is when Autumn comes into it's own. Low lighting (or no lighting!) in a room full of tealights and candles is seriously good for the soul. I defy anyone to lie on the sofa in candlight and not feel their stress levels drop.
There's something to be said for getting wrapped up during the day and facing the elements head on. It clears the cobwebs away. But for me there's something special about those autumn evenings, where it's all about slowing right down, being comfy and cosy and enjoying a bit of naff TV. What more could you want?
What do you love about taking refuge indoors when the weather is this icky?

SBeing Brazil-based, VoIP Group isn't that well known to our readers, so let's start with getting a basic introduction. Please tell us a bit about your business focus and the types of operators you typically serve.
VoIP Group is a global pioneer developer of proprietary solutions and services for IP Telephony, most notably a Class IV and V SIP softswitch with real time billing for both pre and post-paid services.
The original company started up VoIP Group operations in the United States back in 1998, and received three funding rounds for a total of USD 8,000,000.
VoIP Group gained global relevance after winning a NASA tender in 2001, for which it developed the product MGU, allowing the International Space Station (ISS) to communicate through VoIP with a network of labs in universities, businesses and military bases across the US.
Nowadays our company is the market leader in Brazil, playing a key role in the development of the Brazilian IP telephony service industry for the last 14 years. Our customer base includes most of Brazil's IP Telephony and PSTN carriers, including Internet providers, cable TV, voice operators and incumbents. To support this, the company has offices in Miami, São Paulo (Brazil), and Cordoba (Argentina). We also operate in Chile, Peru and Japan.
We typically serve any size of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) or cable operator trying to deploy a "multi-play" package (Internet, voice, TV, security, etc.) for customers (corporate and residential) over their IP networks. They can do this interconnecting IP-PSTN with their own POPs and/or through a pure SIP-SIP interconnection to terminate calls at a worldwide level.
As the market leader in Brazil, and having been a VoIP pioneer since 1998, what has been the foundation of your success there, and how are you building on that to enter new markets?
Think global, act local, we could say. VoIP Group started the business from scratch in Brazil so it could build great business relationships with local service providers and evangelize the local market about VoIP technologies. We tell them that if they want to stay in business, deploying VoIP is "not anymore an option, but an obligation".
In those days – back in 2009 – everybody needed to offer triple or multiple play services, since all services (broadband, voice and video) went over the same IP network. As such, including voice become important; if they didn´t do that, they would lose the customer to the competition. That was the reality of the market at that time - simple enough.
And yes that was our strategy, to build on the strong position in Brazil and from there to enter new markets. This is why we participated with a booth and some partners in IT Expo 2016. We are currently entering Central America and the US, and believe we have the product, the technology and the right price to do that. We also focus strongly on our "real time support services", which is part of our differentiation in the market. Since you've been developing your technology for so long, it's largely proprietary. Most VoIP vendors lean towards being open and standards-based. What do you see as the advantages and benefits of being proprietary, both for your company and your customers? Has this held your growth back in any way? One of our main differentiation points to compete in the market is our proprietary solution VSC (Virtual Service Controller) Softswitch with real time VoIP billing integrated. Creating real time billing based on CDRs (Call Detail Records) is one of our most important features, and it´s integrated in the VSC Softswitch making of it an "all in one" solution. Billing generates revenues for the service provider, so you need it to be exact. Having used open source solutions they have already lost money that way, so service providers have now seen the importance of having a proprietary developer as a partner that has total control (or property) of the source code. If you don´t have total control of the source code, I mean "end to end", how are you going to assure an exact billing or the exact functionality of any service or feature? The performance of our VSC Softswitch and our real time VoIP billing is proven for high volumes, and by that I mean millions of minutes of simultaneous calls. Yes, you can leverage some services using open source, but you have to be open minded to use non-core services already developed on open source and try to homologate them with your proprietary solutions. Today you see a mixed world (proprietary and open), but for "the core" in your network, I strongly recommend it to be proprietary. We have been doing this a long time, and are now one of the best at developing proprietary software. In Brazil, we have won service provider customers from all the competitors - BroadSoft (News - Alert), VoIPSwitch, Sysmaster, Portaone, etc. -because of our performance for high quality volumes and accurate billing capabilities. The cloud is impacting everyone now, and VoIP has become another form of SaaS (News Description: cid:firstname.lastname@example.com - Alert). VSC Cloud is your solution that enables operators to get into VoIP without relying on CAPEX or building out a hardware-based infrastructure. Tell us a bit about the trends you're seeing here and what makes VSC Cloud unique. Yes, our service provider customers don´t usually have CapEx when using our solutions. We offer them two alternatives:
