THE QUEEN officially opened Canada Home in the present day following years of refurbishment – however solely simply made it in time thanks to the perils of London's traffic.
I knew it was a rip-off and was not about to deposit the test, regardless of pleas from my 17 12 months old son to take action (in all probability hoping that I would share a part of my luck with him), as I was certain that it would bounce and I might end up paying $25 or more in bank service prices for depositing a nasty examine. Capital good points tax is a tax on the rise in worth of a property whereas someone owns it. An exception to the rule is a principal residence. And capital positive factors tax is paid by the seller, not the customer/inheritor.
Now it is time to announce the winner of my Massive Brother Canada VIP Screening Contest! This was first posted a few weeks ago and had a LOT of entries!! I waited to hear from them for 2 months and called them every week to search out out what the maintain up was… Lastly received a letter from the legal professional's workplace in December stating the pay off quantity was $157,000! She wouldn't need to go anywhere with me, when I requested if she wanted to go with me when I've to go someplace. Her damaging answer would either be yelled or sullen. Alexis Bellino was the exhibit on the show and yet her internet worth is the bottom. Always the present-off.
When the primary one – husband or father – died, the title could be owned by whichever of them survived. When that second individual died, the title would fall into his property and be ruled by his will. The explanation it is referred to as a wet vent is because it clearly carries a number of water and waste in addition to being open to the skin air on the roof level.
Whether or not it is two rooms or a sprawling penthouse, it is all yours, and you have the liberty to do what you need in your new space.(inside purpose of course..lol). What an exquisite feeling! I am a Canadian who now lives in Mexico. Canada has some nice locations to go to, as you've gotten proven in your nice lens. What in regards to the Butchart Gardens in British Columbia? Thanks for super pictures and spotlighting a wonderfully scenic nation.

There are a lot of new (micro) consoles with Android inside coming soon or already there (OUYA for example).
My question is: why use Android and not another OS as base for these consoles?
I assume that there are pragmatic answers to this but I can't see any clear killer feature. For example, one can assume that any stable Linux distribution would work (like Valve seem to think). Android is primarily targetted at mobile platforms which mean it is built around the idea of being interrupted which goes against a lot of what console devs needs in new hardware - but is not killing Android as a platform for gamedev either as it's just a constraint.
Why not another OS? What's the Android killer features that make micro-console builder using it instead of Linux or anything else?

Soft spot
A look at the federal government's Marquee Tourism Events Program in light of its decision not to fund the Toronto Pride Festival.
The Marquee program seems to have a soft spot for rodeos. Last year, it funded the Cloverdale Rodeo and this year money was doled out to Whoop-Up Days in Lethbridge, the Saskatoon Exhibition and the Interior Provincial Exhibition and Stampede -all of which have rodeo events.
And for citizens concerned about Canada's obesity or diabetes epidemics, rest assured the Marquee program has not neglected the nation's health.
That's why it also funded Canada's Largest Ribfest, which claims that an "astonishing 150,000 pounds of ribs" are consumed in one weekend.

YV Fruits Group Profile
YV Fruits Group was established in 1993 and comprises twelve medium sized fruit producing family businesses, supporting thirty-four families directly and up to 70 permanent and part time staff throughout the year. The origins of these family businesses can be traced back up to six generations. The wealth of experience that has been handed down through the generations has enabled the current operators to develop their farming operations which exist today.
Some businesses were part of the original selection process in the Yarra Valley district. Others progressesd to the Yarra Valley after beginning in the Hawthorn, Doncaster, Vermont, Wantirna and Mooroolbark areas of suburban Melbourne. As the perimeter of the Melbourne metropolitan area expanded over the years, these farming businesses moved eastward and replanted their orchards. In addition to the orchards in Yarra Valley, YV Fruits Group members now also produce in Mornington Peninsula, North East Victoria and Tasmania.
YV Fruits members utilise the latest growing techniques and varieties. In excess 2,500 hectares of trees and vines have been planted, producing an annual crop of over 5,000 tonnes.
Members produce Apples, Rubus Berries (Raspberries, Blackberries and Blueberries), Cherries, Lemons, Nashi, Pears and Persimmons.
YV Fruits established YV Marketing Pty Ltd in 2001 to market and distribute fruit grown by member businesses.

5 ways to reduce your car insurance premium
There are a lot of changes happening in the insurance industry these days. Insurance companies are crunching a lot of historical data and coming out with policies or strategies to benefit good customer set. These are based on new parameters that they have found to behave better overall. As a normal policy owner/renewer , it will be good if you know them well to take advantage of these.
1) Voluntary deductibles : This means that customer opts out of minor claims. This essentially says that customer is willing to get minor claims settled by his own, without bothering the insurance agency. When this happens, Insurance agency will be more than willing to give him/her additional discounts. It does so, because a lot of costs overheads are saved, if minor claims are not managed by it.
2) Safety Features : Most of us do not put emphasis on safety features which are installed in your vehicle, while declaring for insurance. This results in the normal premium changes for insurance. If you can declare anti-theft device, and other safety features, which you feel are resulting in reducing the probability loss or accident, for example air-bags, then upto 5% additional premium can be lowered by the insurance companies.
3) Automobile association : Membership of automobile associations indicates that the owner is interested and knows well about automobiles. This gives the insurers additional comfort about the well being of vehicles, in that owner's hands. Hence, for such customers, they are open to reducing the premium on "own damage". This clause is often not used by general public and you should enquire about it with your insurers.
4) Buy/express interest online. – When you express your interest online for insurance, you reduce the insurer's cost of reaching out to you. This is applicable even when the actual purchase is not online, but just the intent is expressed and the closure happens only after you meet the insurance agent in person. Hence it can be the best of both world, you can grill the insurance agent with your queries, and still take advantage of the savings done by the insurance firm.
5) No claim bonus : This is one of the most obvious methods of reducing your insurance premiums. This also has been covered extensively in our articles. You can read about it in complete detail by surfing the links below.
Apart from these big 5 headers, there are also sections like make and model of the vehicle, driver's age and profession, city of vehicle registration etc. All of these goes a long way in ensuring that you get the cheapest rates available for your car or motor insurance premium.

Study of the Formation of Macro-and-Micro-Cracks during Machining of Ceramics
Zhang, G.M.
Anand, Davinder K.
Ghosh, Subrata
Ko, Wing F.
MetadataShow full item record
This paper presents an experimental study on the formation of macro- and micro- cracks formed during the machining of ceramic materials. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was used as the testing material and polycrystalline diamond tipped carbide inserts were used for material removal. The cutting force was recorded during machining and surface finish was measured after machining. an environmental SEM was used to obtain high-magnification images of macro- and microcracks induced by machining. With the assistance of a computer-based vision system, qualification of fracture surfaces with respect to crack nucleation, growth, and cleavage was attempted. Results from this research provide an insight into the prevailing mechanisms of material removal during the machining of ceramics, and suggest the development of crack- controlled machining technologies.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- A Parkinson's Disease diagnosis can trigger fear and uncertainty. Patients and loved ones often wonder how long until signs will begin to manifest, and try to come to grips with their new reality. Thankfully for those facing this challenge, Northern Westchester Hospital is offering area residents guidance and support through a one-of-a-kind Parkinson's Support Group.
Designed to help both patients and caregivers, the support group was formed to address a growing need in Westchester County. "There isn't much support for people with the disease," said Veronica Cea, a speech language pathologist at Northern Westchester Hospital's Chappaqua Crossing facility. "Sixty thousand people across the country are diagnosed each year, but there is only one other support group in the county."
The goal of NWH's new program is to create an environment where those affected by the disease are able to share their triumphs, offer encouragement and seek advice. "It's important to have both patients and caregivers there," said Cea. "The patient is given an open forum to ask questions in a non-judgmental setting, and caregivers can learn how to care for the patient or loved one. The reality is many family members are making up [treatment] up as they go along, which is why a group or open forum can be so helpful."
One of the main issues addressed in their support group is the impact Parkinson's has on a patient's morale. "The disease is chronic and progressive, so patients often experience a hit to their self esteem and self worth," said Cea. "Therefore, it's important for a person to maintain not only a good active exercise routine, but also strong mental health. That's what will carry them through and keep them from feeling alone."
Affiliated with the American Parkinson's Disease Association, the support group will meet once a month, and offer informational and educational support. Cea and the Northern Westchester Hospital team have planned a series of lectures, meetings with neurologists, speech pathologists, therapists, pharmacists and other group therapy exercises to help patients and family members cope with the diagnosis.
"The end goal is to address the person," said Cea. "Addressing the person living with the disease and the caregiver is so important. It's our job to be non-judgmental and supportive."
The first Parkinson's Support Group will meet on Monday, Sept 18 from 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. in the Yoga Room at Northern Westchester Hospital's Chappaqua Crossing facility. The group will continue to meet on the third Monday of every month.
To register or learn more, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (914) 458-8761.

Business Info
Bunk beds are the most effective way of maximizing the space that you have in a bedroom. Bunkers have been manufacturing a huge range of bunk beds in Australia for over 30 years.
The lo-line bunk bed range also offers study desks, storage, or drawers. There is a choice of two off-set styles: the long wall and corner bunks, and there is also a high bed in the lo-line height.
The mid-line bunk bed range is 170cm high. This height offers the greatest number of bunk bed variations including long wall and corner bunk styles. Many other styles sleep one bed directly over the other. Ladders for our bunk beds have always been an integral part of the overall design. Having the bunk bed ladder fixed at the side or at the end gives you extra strength, and with Bunkers, you can choose the ladder position most ideally suited for you. The Mid-line bunk bed range has options to suit most bedroom situations and needs.
The loft bunk beds range is 188cm high. The height is designed to allow for study and workspace underneath. Bunkers has designed a selection of desk and storage components that can be combined to fit under our loft bunk beds.
We have kept two things in mind when designing these loft bed space savers: to offer many bedroom options, and to allow for all budget levels. The common components between all the Bunkers range means that you can very easily change styles in the future. With so many teenagers interested in the Loft beds we made sure that we also offer king single, double, and queen sizes.
Bunkers bunk beds, high beds, and loft beds are all made locally in Australia. Our furniture is hand made and undergoes individual inspection before customer delivery. If you purchase a bunk bed from a Bunkers store, we will guarantee that product from fault in construction and material for 10 years. Bunkers also offers a LIFE TIME WARRANTY on the slat bases for all of our bunk beds and beds.
At Bunkers we sleep very comfortably with this commitment. We hope that you will as well. (more)

Equatorial Guinea Attorney General to Investigate Allegations Against Government
California Judge Dismisses Civil Suit Against Minister of Agriculture and Forestry for Lack of Evidence, He Says
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Equatorial Guinea Enforces Strict Control of State Revenues, Says President Obiang
Government defends commitment to upholding professionalism and transparency
In an interview with France Africa 24, President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, defending the Government of Equatorial Guinea, stated it maintains strict control of State revenues.
"All the money is collected by the State," said President Obiang. "No one can touch that money." He then continued to discuss the various businesses that he and his family own, including his son's companies in the forestry sector.
"I advise my family to work," he said, "and to have companies and firms that will allow them to earn money besides the money they receive from the state. I cannot take money from the state either, so I have my own companies."
The interview took place a day before two French judges requested an arrest warrant for the Minister of Agriculture, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, who was accused of using "ill-gotten gains" to purchase property in France. In response, President Obiang stated that his son is an entrepreneur. "He owns infrastructure companies abroad. For example, he works with a company in Malaysia for roadwork. He did not take money… all the state money is secured."
"If there are countries or international organizations that suspect that Equatorial Guinea is a corrupt country, I invite them to make a request to conduct their investigations here," He continued. "You cannot judge or criticize a state without knowing the situation to its core."
The Republic of Equatorial Guinea has experienced rapid development and growth in various fields, including the industrial and oil sector. According to President Obiang, the recently accumulated wealth from exploitation of its petroleum and natural gas resources is to be widely distributed among the public and is an opportunity for Equatorial Guinea to help find solutions to long-standing problems and participate in efforts to relieve suffering. For this reason, Equatorial Guinea is a frequent contributor of humanitarian relief efforts, most recently sending 400 tonnes to the Congo Republic and before to Japan in 2010 after the tsunami.

Equatorial Guinea Participates In Global Environment Facility Project For Sustainable Forestry
An Effort of The Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC) to Conserve Congo Basin
Equatorial Guinea is now part of a Global Environment Facility (GEF) project titled 'A Regional Focus on Sustainable Timber Management in the Congo Basin', an initiative backed by international development organizations, national NGOs, and government officials. One of three pilot countries, Equatorial Guinea will begin a series of regional activities in which all GEF participants will collaborate closely to address illegal logging and ensure the sustainability of forest production.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) project will focus on improving forest management and conservation in order to preserve the Congo Basin and is a task of The Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC), The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Rainforest Alliance.
Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, Equatorial Guinea's Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, has made Equatorial Guinea's commitment to conservation management clear. At the most recent G20 Economic Summit in Cannes, France, he acknowledged government leaders from around the world who took part in an agricultural working group, stating, "While we in Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are focused on our local environment and economy, we always think in a global perspective when seeking to achieve higher growth in the agricultural sector. In many ways, our success depends on our own efforts, though Africa and the greater global community can play a role."
By participating in the GEF Congo Basin Strategic Program, which this project forms a part of, Equatorial Guinea is improving the welfare of local communities and forest conservation, while protecting its people's interests in terms of commercial activities. The World Resources Institute (WRI)'s Project Director and Director of Forestry for Central Africa, Pierre Methot, stated, "This project will reinforce WRI's already strong presence in the region and enhance our efforts to improve transparency and governance in the Congo Basin that focus on timber management, REDD, and other aspects of sustainable forest development."
At the national level, efforts of this kind have already had a significant impact yet there is still a need to confront regional and cross-border issues. To this effect, the regional launches of the program have been held throughout March, in the Central African cities of Douala, Cameroon; Bangui, Central African Republic and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo; Equatorial Guinea will hold it's own launch event in the city of Bata in April 2012.
Tighter Border Procedures Will Not Affect Close Relations With Cameroon, Says Equatorial Guinea
Procedures are aimed at controlling illegal immigration
The Government of Equatorial Guinea said today that relations with neighboring Cameroonremain strong, despite changes in security at the Kye-Ossi border. Security alterations were recently made in order to prevent people from entering Equatorial Guinea illegally.
Equatorial Guinea is a destination for people from nearby countries to enter illegally looking for work in its growing economy.
According to government officials, local authorities from both countries met to discuss and resolve the issue through diplomatic measures. "Cameroon is a friend to Equatorial Guinea," saidPresident Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, "and we strive to maintain excellent relations with them directly and through our involvement in various regional institutions."
The two countries have a history of cooperation. Since the Central African Community was restructured in the 1990s, they have worked together to promote economic and infrastructure development in the region. Both countries participate in the Central African Customs and Economic Union, which Equatorial Guinea joined in 1984, as well as the Central African Economic and Monetary Community.
Equatorial Guinea also addressed border issues with Gabon in February 25, 2011. The United Nations Secretary General praised the two countries for their "statesmanship" in solving the dispute and gave them full support from the United Nations.
Equatorial Guinea has had an increasingly active foreign policy and has emerged as a major player throughout the region and outside Africa in recent years. The nation hosted the African Union Summit last year and the Africa Cup of Nations 2012, and it has been a frequentcontributor to humanitarian relief efforts, most recently sending the Congo Republic 400 tonnes of humanitarian aid in March to aid victims of a devastating explosion in the capital, Brazzaville.

A psychiatric travel nurse provides quality mental health care to patients receiving psychiatric treatment in hospitals and clinics on a temporary basis. In particular, a psychiatric travel nurse is dispatched to various locations where her or his services are needed. These specialty nurses may also provide home health care to patients who are being treated on an outpatient basis. The precise duties of a psychiatric travel nurse may vary. At a minimum, however, travel nurses dispatch prescribed medications, chart a patient's progress and carry out nursing orders initiated by a patient's physician.
Trained to support psychiatrists in treating a variety of mental disorders, a psychiatric travel nurse is also able to identify possible mental irregularities in patients. Psychiatric nurses work with a patient's doctors and other specialists to develop treatment plans in an effort to cure a patient of mental illness or, when this is not possible, to help patients enjoy a better quality of life despite mental illness. A psychiatric travel nurse differs from an ordinary psychiatric nurse, however, in that she or he is temporarily contracted to work in different locations for set periods of time.
Some who work in this medical specialty also provide home health visits to patients who live at home or in a residential setting and receive in-home psychiatry services such as psychotherapy and monitoring. In this capacity, a psychiatric travel nurse provides the same level of care as one would in a hospital or clinic. Duties provided through in-home services may include monitoring a patient's vital signs, administering prescribed psychiatric medication, assuring that the home environment is safe for the patient, documenting a patient's progress, and communicating with social workers and doctors about a patient's response to a current treatment plan.
In traveling to different locations for work, a psychiatric travel nurse is also exposed to different environments and cultures, which is a welcome opportunity for many. Nurses who travel are also able to learn different procedures and systems used in different clinical settings, which may enhance their overall career experience. A psychiatric travel nurse may work in a new setting for one or two months before being contracted for another location, but many serve in a position several months or a full year before traveling to a new work destination. Individuals who are the most successful in this career are those who work well with others, embrace diversity and who are able to easily adjust to new environments.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!


text: This is a 43 year old African-American female requesting Ethnic Rhinoplasty procedure by Dr. Slupchynskyj. The patient was not pleased with the height of her bridge, the width of her nostrils and the bulbous tip. Dr. Slupchynskyj performed an Open Rhinoplasty using his proprietary 3 tiered technique to elevate and augment the nasal bridge using a custom carved silicone implant SLUPimplant™. Furthermore, the tip was defatted and a cartilage shield and strut graft were used to refine the nasal tip and reduce the bulbous tip. Lastly, the nostrils were narrowed from a vertical and horizontal perspective. The results seen are 28 days post-op. Notice there is virtually no bruising and very little swelling. The swelling in the tip and surrounding tissue will continue to subside over the next 3 months.

The DSA's National Political Committee has issued a statement concerning the Republican's morally reprehensible proposed "Repeal and Replace" approach to the Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare). Their statement reads in part:
For democratic socialists, the most reprehensible aspect of the House Reconciliation Budget Bill to "Repeal and Replace" the Affordable Care Act is that it will gut Medicaid coverage and severely weaken Medicare's viability as a single-payer system for the elderly and disabled. The bill does so in order to provide a major tax cut for the wealthy, equal to $650 billion over ten years. The bill would lead over 24 million individuals to lose health insurance coverage (according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office or CBO). The bill attacks the single-payer aspects of the U.S. health system (Medicaid and Medicare) in which the government as the sole insurer has the bargaining potential to curtail healthcare costs forced on us by private hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
At a time when we should fight for Medicare for All, TrumpCare instead takes us backwards.
Read the complete statement here.
To read the Democratic staff report from House Energy, Commerce/Oversight committees about the implications for Iowans living in the First District, download the ACA District-by-District Report (PDF).
Please call Blum's offices and share your candid thoughts about the Republican's proposed gutting of the ACA, and insist that the only acceptable replacement is Medicare for all.

Hi! I'm Kelly, and I am first and foremost a work in progress. I am a mom, a friend, a student, a photographer, a creator, an essential oils dealer, a writer, a unicorn lover, a dog person & a cat person, a weirdo, a geek, and a totally normal chick you wouldn't look twice at on the street.
I have a terrible history of loving other people, ideas, and things more than I love myself and I am now on a mission to correct that. As I've gotten older, I've learned a few things about life. Mostly I've learned that I don't know a damn thing about life. But I've also learned that the ultimate goal, and the hardest thing to achieve, is simply, Happiness. And I want to be Happy. Capital H, yo.
So, I'm setting off on a grand adventure to achieve that. And this blog will chronicle my journey- good and bad. Join me! Cheer me on! Learn from my mistakes! Laugh at my ridiculousness! Whatever makes you happy- do that!

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice CreamThis recipe is of my favorite ice cream recipes I've tried so far this summer...
Below is my adaptation of recipes I found at Yum-O-Rama and basically all other blueberry ice cream recipes out there.
The end result was smooth, creamy, rich, and thick.
I'll be making this again!
What You'll Need:
1 - 1 1/2 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 c half & half
2/3 c sugar
1 egg
1 T lemon juice
1 "block" of spreadable cream cheese, softened
1 c whipping cream
What To Do:
In a medium bowl, using a potato masher, or heavy spoon, crush the blueberries until about half of them are broken but some whole berries remain. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat together sugar and egg. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the half and half over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles start to form. Temper the egg mixture by adding a couple tablespoons of the hot cream to the egg, and mixing until incorporated. Slowly add the remaining hot cream and mix until uniform.
Return the mixture to the small saucepan, and heat over medium-low heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Add the lemon juice and crushed berries to the mixture and still until incorporated. Transfer to refrigerator for an hour to cool. {If you're in a rush, you can pour this mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and stick it in the freezer until it's chilled.}
Once cooled, beat the softened cream cheese in a food mixer until fluffy. Mix in cooled custard mixture. Mix in whipping cream. (Mixture will be lumpy.)
Pour mixture into ice cream machine. Process according to machine manufacturer instructions. Transfer to a suitable ice cream tub, and freeze overnight... AFTER you take a heaping spoonful for taste testing of course!

Altura helps software developers and business owners take their applications and web sites through the three key phases of Growth, Engagement, and Monetization (GEM). Whether you're interested in:
- Growing your app or site by designing it to spread virally
- Engaging your app's or site's user base by activating key users
- Monetizing your app or site by running third-party ads, signing up sponsors, or selling it outright
Altura is your best source for information on what works (and what doesn't). We're dedicated to sharing the best practices we've learned over 30 years in the software industry and helping you get the most out of your business. In addition, we want to help you raise the funds necessary to get your business to the point where it can benefit from the GEM System and the Influence Operating System (IOS) that Altura is building on top of the relationships that are part of Facebook's Social Operating System (SOS). Therefore, we offer services to help you:
- Analyze Your Business Goals based on Rock Candy Revolution Techniques
- Mediate Any Intellectual Property or Partner Disputes and/or Learn How to Negotiate Anything
- Organize and Fund Your Company
- Grow Your App / Fan Page / Web Site / Customer Base / Company
- Sell Your App / Web Site / Company
Each of these service engagements is negotiated by Lee Lorenzen (see Lee Lorenzen's résumé) and he will personally lead the Altura Ventures team that is delivering each aspect of the services provided.
1. Analyze Your Business Goals based on Rock Candy Revolution (RCR) Techniques
Altura employs the Rock Candy Revolution Techniques (see www.RockCandyRevolution.com) to help you analyze your business goals and advises you on how to use these techniques and the GEM Relationship Influence Operating System (GEMRIOS) to Crystallize Consensus, Coordinate Collaborations and Change the World. These are the same techniques that were used by Wael Ghonim to mobilize 85 million Egyptians and accomplish a regime change against a brutal dictator who ruled for 30 years in Egypt in just 18 days of non-violent protest with no paid staff. To hear more about this incredible story of how the people whose ancestors built the pyramids proved that Egyptians can still move mountains and the reason why this was the first Rock Candy Revolution (RCR) success story in the GEMRIOS era, watch Lee Lorenzen's TEDxMonterey talk.For our business goals analysis and GEMRIOS advisory services, we offer the following satisfaction guaranteed fee structure:
|Engagement Fee
|Time Period
|Refundable %
|Minimum Initial Term
|Per 3 Years
|36 months
|Per 2 Years
|24 months
|Per Year
|12 months
|Per Month
|1 month
|Per Day
|1 day
For example, if you sign up for Altura's business plan analysis and RCR advisory services at the Tier 5 level, you will pay us $10,000 as an upfront Engagement Fee at the start of each day of consulting with a minimum initial term of 1 day. If at the end of that day, you don't decide to contract for additional services and for any reason (or no reason) aren't satisfied with the value of the services already provided during the prior time period, then Altura will refund you 100% of the upfront Engagement fee (e.g., $10,000). Or, if you choose Tier 3, then you will pay us $240,000 as an upfront fee for a minimum initial term of 1 year and if you aren't satisfied at the end of that year then Altura will refund you 30% of the fee (e.g., $72,000).
To have a Business Goals Analysis and GEMRIOS Advisory Services Agreement sent to you, please e-mail and include your company's executive summary, desired Tier, Minimum Term, name and phone number.
2. Mediate Any Intellectual Property or Partner Disputes and/or Learn How to Negotiate Anything
Altura has partnered with Our Refundable Mediation Services (see www.ORMediation.com) to provide their mediation services to our startups because it is quite common that potential founders of a new business will have discussed their business ideas with others without appropriate non-disclosure agreements or work-for-hire contracts being in place. This can create problems down the line when their business grows and becomes worth millions or billions of dollars and every person who ever heard their pitch for the business begins to remember history differently and believe that they provided the essential insights that caused all of the true founders' subsequent success (NOTE: we call this type of issue "a Winkelvoss Problem").
The best time to resolve these intellectual property or partner disputes is before the business founders have built substantial value because everyone's memory of the actual events is fresh and the parties aren't likely to believe the true founder is going to build the next Microsoft, Google or Facebook. So, if you're involved in a dispute that you wish was resolved and you haven't been able to settle the matter on your own, we can help you and the other parties involved reach a fair and durable agreement that all parties will respect. Our money-back guarantee approach to mediation successfully resolves 90% of disputes and we are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for every client that we serve.
No matter how unreasonable you may think the other side is being or how pessimistic you feel about the chances of resolving the conflict, over the years thousands of successful mediations have proven that our approach works. Even in the 10% of cases in which a signed settlement agreement is not ultimately achieved, the parties are guaranteed to exit the mediation process with a more complete understanding of the issues and interests involved.
To have a Free ORMediation Consultation Agreement sent to you, please review the ORMediation.com site and then e-mail and include your company's executive summary, name and phone number.
In addition to Our Refundable Mediation Services, we also offer direct deal-making assistance and/or negotiating services based on the following profit-sharing and money-back guaranteed fee structure:
|Hourly Rate
|Share of Deal Proceeds
|Money Back Guarantee Term
|12 months
|6 months
|1 month
|15 days
|3 days
For example, if you sign up for Altura's negotiating services at the Tier 3 level, you will pay us $1,000 per hour plus 3% of the profits generated from the deal being negotiated. Assuming we helped you negotiate the sale of $1,000,000 service that has a 50% gross margin during 10 hours of negotiating, you will owe us a total of $25,000 based on the following calculation: $25,000 = $10,000 in hourly fees + $15,000 in profit sharing (3% share * 50% margin * $1,000,000 price). Had you signed up at the Tier 5 level for the same negotiation, you would owe us a total of $52,000 based on the following calculation: $52,000 = $2,000 in hourly fees + $50,000 in profit sharing (10% share * 50% margin * $1,000,000 price).
Alternatively, you may wish to handle negotiations by yourself after recieving training in the "Negotiation and Mediation Club" system. The cost for this training (not including your reimbursements of our instructor's travel expenses and any applicable meeting room costs) on a per employee rate for a one day training session (i.e., 8 hours including a working lunch) is as follows:
|One Day Training Rate Per Employee
|Minimum Number of Employees in Training
|Money Back Guarantee Term
|12 months
|6 months
|1 month
|15 days
|5 days
A comprehensive list of our certified instructors who have licensed the Negotiation and Mediation Club system and who are available to conduct one day training events in various cities throughout the world at these rates is available here (see www.RockCandyWorld.com). You may also be interested in becoming a Tier 5 Certified Instructor in the Negotiation and Mediation Club system by attending one of these training events in your local city and paying Altura Ventures a 50% revenue sharing fee for licensing our system and/or using our course materials.
To sign up for Altura's negotiating services or to schedule training in the "Negotiation and Mediation Club" system, please e-mail and include your company's executive summary, name, phone number and number of employees.
3. Organize and Fund Your Company
Altura is an expert at organizing LLC structures and fundraising for startup companies. We've formed 25+ companies and raised $75+ million in funds for them from angel investors (e.g., Bill Gates, Bob Kavner, Craig Johnson, etc.), strategic partners (e.g., Amazon, Yahoo, Itochu, Bear Creek, etc.) and venture capitalists (e.g., Oak, El Dorado, VenRock, C2C Ventures, etc.). No matter what stage of business your operating, we can help you find the resources necessary to take it to the next level. Our process is to understand your business, determine the amount of funds you need to raise, identify prospective investors, develop your pitch and assist in negotiating all aspects of the fundraising process.For our fundraising services, we offer the following success-based fee structure:
|Engagement Fee
|Share of Proceeds
|3 months
|6 months
|9 months
|12 months
|18 months
For example, if you sign up for Altura's fundraising service at the Tier 3 level, you will pay us $25,000 as an upfront Engagement Fee plus 5% of the funds raised. Assuming we helped you raise $1,000,000 within the 9 month term, you will have paid us a total of $75,000 based on the following calculation: $75,000 = $25,000 upfront + $50,000 fundraising share (.05 * $1,000,000 raised). Had you signed up at the Tier 4 level and we helped you raise $1,000,000 within 12 months, you would have paid us a total of $110,000 = $10,000 upfront + $100,000 fundraising share (.10 * $1,000,000 raised).
To have an Fundraising Agreement sent to you, please e-mail and include your company's executive summary, desired amount of money, name and phone number.
4. Grow Your App / Fan Page / Web Site / Customer Base / Company
Altura offers a variety of online marketing campaign management and customer acquisiton consultinng services. Tier 1 (GEM Plus) guarantees 9.6 million users in less than one year and is for those customers who don't yet have an app and want our assistance with their app's conceptualization and overall design.

|Tier 1 (GEM Plus)
|720 days
|Tier 2 (GEM Basic)

If the app doesn't achieve the full number of installs in the allotted time, then the unearned balance of campaign funds will be returned to the advertiser (unless the advertiser chooses to allow the campaign to continue on a 30 day auto-renewal basis) along with a penalty payment equal to 10% of the upfront fee.
To have an insertion order sent to you, please e-mail and include your app's name, Facebook ID and phone number.
5. Sell Your App / Web Site / Company
Altura is also interested in helping asset owners realize a nice return on their investment by selling their App, Web Site and/or Company. For many entrepreneurs, the number of potential buyers for their assets is limited to a fairly small circle of local investors and a relatively meager rolodex of prior business contacts. This leads to a lower valuation for their asset because they either don't know the buyers who would most highly value the asset or they can't get the attention of these buyers. Therefore, the lone entrepreneur often has to settle for a less than ideal price.
Altura changes this equation for entrepreneurs interested in selling their assets, by creating a situation where it is Altura's responsibility to find prospective buyers and negotiate a deal that achieves a higher than expected price for the asset being sold. Our standard terms are based on an engagement fee, a percentage of the proceeds up to the Minimum Target Price (MTP) and a higher percentage for amounts over this MTP. The MTP concept is desgined to align your interests as the asset owner with Altura's interests as your sales agent. The correct MTP is the one at which you would be willing to sell your asset prior to engaging our assistance. Our goal will be to get you more than your MTP.For our asset sales services, we offer the following success-based fee structure:
|Engagement Fee
|Share of Proceeds
Below MTP
|Share of Proceeds
Above MTP
|3 months
|6 months
|9 months
|12 months
|18 months
For example, if you signed up at the Tier 5 level and decided that the MTP for your asset was $300K and we found a buyer for $600K, then you would make a total of $395,000 = -25,000 upfront + $270,000 (0.90*$300,000) + $150,000 (0.50*($600,000-$300,000)) and we would make a total of $205,000 = $25,000 upfront + $30,000 (0.10*$300,000) + $150,000 (0.50*($600,000-$300,000)). Of course, there is no guarantee that we will find a buyer willing to pay even your MTP, but if we don't then you don't have to sell your asset.
If you are interested in this success fee approach for selling your asset, please contact us prior to attempting to sell your asset on your own. While we can help at every stage of the process, especially if a buyer has already approached you because this helps establish a fair MTP, it is best when we are allowed to manage the process from the beginning.
To have an asset sales agreement sent to you, please e-mail and include your name, phone number, a brief description of the asset, an estimate of your Minimum Target Price and which Tier of services you would like to pursue.
(Note: These are the Altura price lists as of 2/15/11. Prices are subject to change without notice.)

Plas Glynllifon mansion in the hands of the receivers
A 200-year-old mansion in Gwynedd, partially redeveloped as a country house hotel, has been put in the hands of the receivers.
Grade I listed Plas Glynllifon is the centrepiece of the Glynllifon estate six miles from Caernarfon on the main A499 to Pwllheli.
Former uses for the 102-roomed property include offices and accommodation for an agricultural college.
The mansion was originally the seat of Lord Newborough.
A wall 10ft (3m) high and eight miles long (12km) surrounds the Glynllifon estate which includes various houses, an agricultural college, craft workshops and a cafe as well as the mansion.
David Currie from receivers Winterhill Largo said Plas Glynllifon was one of the "more unusual appointments" for the company.
"It is a truly unique property with massive potential," he said, pointing to its location near Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula.
"We are anticipating a great deal of interest from potential buyers and hopefully the house will have a great future."
Before partial renovation work over recent years the house was featured in the book Forgotten Welsh Houses which showcased buildings which had fallen on hard times.
The house is said to be haunted by the ghost of Maria Stella, a young bride who came to the Plas from Italy in the 1700s to marry the then Lord Newborough.

10 weeks and 2 days pregnant
The baby's head is just under half the length of his body. His limbs are still relatively short but the hands and feet can look quite big. Early basic trunk and limb movements are taking place but it's too early to feel them at this stage.
Will it be a boy or a girl? Significant changes are taking place that enable your baby's sexual organs to develop.
Hormones are influencing your unborn baby's development and the ovaries or testes now begin to form. The testes will gradually descend but their structural development won't be complete until your child hits puberty. The ovary will produce eggs but these will remain in the early stages of development.
A minute genital tube forms the external genitalia but each sex appears the same at this stage. This is not entirely surprising as the phallus is only 2.5mm long.
Your baby's bladder and rectum have now separated. The kidneys will take some time to develop fully: two buds grow up from the bladder to the tissue that will become the kidneys, one on each side. These so-called ureteric buds form the ureters – the tubes that transport urine from the kidney to the bladder. The ureteric bud must successfully fuse with the kidney tissue in the pelvis. As the ureteric buds expand upwards, the early kidneys developing in the pelvis will move upwards to lie in the abdomen.
I have hay fever. Can I take antihistamines?
The potential effects of taking antihistamines in pregnancy aren't known, so it's best to err on the side of caution and not take them. However, if your symptoms are severe, see your doctor as there is one antihistamine available on prescription that can be taken during pregnancy.
Non-identical twins are always in separate amniotic sacs with a placenta each. If your babies are identical (from one fertilized egg) they may share the same placenta and sometimes also the amniotic sac, with a single membrane called the chorion surrounding them. These are known as monochorionic twins and require greater monitoring. The arrangement of the placenta and amniotic sacs can be analyzed on an ultrasound scan.
When twins share a placenta, their circulatory systems may also be connected. This can cause one twin to receive too much blood, which can lead to heart problems; the other twin will get too little blood and will not grow at the correct rate. This is called twin-to-twin transfusion and happens in about 10–15 per cent of monochorionic pregnancies. The imbalance can sometimes be corrected by draining amniotic fluid from around the twin with the greater blood supply, or by using laser treatment to seal off some blood vessels in the placenta. An early delivery may be necessary.

OXFORD, Miss. — The University of Mississippi said Friday that students could face criminal charges for placing a noose on a statue honoring the college's first black student, and a fraternity announced that it had expelled three men because of the incident.
Sigma Phi Epsilon, a social fraternity on campus, said in a statement that the men were a part of the group's chapter at the university. The chapter, which said it told investigators about the role its members may have played in the vandalism, was suspended.
The university said its inquiry led law enforcement officials to seek interviews with three students, all of them white 19-year-old freshmen from Georgia. But the students, whom the university did not identify because of an educational privacy law, refused through their lawyers to meet with the authorities unless investigators secured arrest warrants.
The university said that two of the students initially agreed to meet with law enforcement officials on Thursday morning, but that neither appeared.
"As university police were attempting to locate the two students late Thursday, they became aware of an Oxford attorney who was representing one of the students, which then led to information that three students had retained legal counsel," the university said in the statement. "Two of the students were those being sought by the university police, but all three names had been prominent in the investigation."
The university's police department has been leading the investigation, which began Sunday after a contractor heard men shouting racial slurs near the monument to James Meredith. Along with a noose, the authorities found a version of the Georgia state flag that featured the Confederate battle emblem.
The investigation, Chancellor Daniel W. Jones acknowledged this week, began unsteadily. Dr. Jones said that he did not learn of the incident until Monday.
"Certainly, there was a failure there to communicate this sensitive issue in a timely way," Dr. Jones said. "Our officers are terrific. I'm proud of them; they get most things right. It's disappointing that we didn't have an opportunity to begin working on this a little bit earlier."
But the investigation, once it did begin, led senior administrators to "believe sufficient evidence exists to bring criminal charges against the suspects," the university statement said.
Danny Blanton, a spokesman for the university, said that a prosecutor in Oxford was weighing whether to charge the students. Mr. Blanton said he did not know when law enforcement officials would reach a decision.
It was also unclear Friday what charges the men could face, but the F.B.I., which has been assisting the university, said earlier this week that the vandalism could bring federal charges.
On Friday, an F.B.I. spokeswoman referred questions to the university.
Whether or not any of the students are prosecuted in the courts, the university said that at least two of them would be charged in the student judicial system. The university said that under its policies, that process "would call on the students to respond but can proceed without their cooperation," the statement said.
The incident has emerged as a source of deep embarrassment for the university, which has labored to move past its difficult racial history and lingering associations with the violent riots that accompanied its integration. The vandalism also prompted a student-led demonstration on Tuesday,
In a statement Monday about the incident, Dr. Jones said, "Their ideas have no place here, and our response will be an even greater commitment to promoting the values that are engraved on the statue — courage, knowledge, opportunity and perseverance."
Mr. Meredith, who enrolled in 1962 as the picturesque campus became the setting for riots that killed two people, condemned the incident in a telephone interview this week as "nonsense."

Graeme Le Saux's support for Thomas Hitzlsperger
Graeme Le Saux, the former England defender appointed to the Football Association's new equality panel, has welcomed Thomas Hitzlsperger's decision to reveal he is gay but insists there should be no pressure on footballers to come out while they are still playing.
Le Saux, a member of the FA's new Inclusion Advisory Board (IAB), had his life made a misery by abuse from players and fans during the 1990s even though he is not gay.
Hitzlsperger, the former Germany midfielder who played for Aston Villa, Everton and West Ham, waited until he had retired before making his announcement and Le Saux said that should be respected.
He told Press Association Sport: "Things have changed dramatically since I was playing, football is much more open-minded and international.
"Thomas didn't feel it was right and I respect that, and I don't think we should expect players to be that open if they think it is going to put undue pressure on them.
"What would be a shame is if there was a young gay man who was a talented footballer who turned his back on the sport because he thinks football won't accept him."
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has recently apologised to Le Saux for an infamous incident in 1997, but other players named by Le Saux in his 2007 autobiography have not followed suit.
Le Saux added: "I have had contact with Robbie Fowler who has had time to reflect and who made an effort to contact me and apologise.
"I would always accept an apology and then move on.
"All of us make mistakes in life, as I have, and it's important we take responsibility for this."
Le Saux believes he was subjected to bullying from other players and staff after joining Chelsea because he was "different" - he came from Jersey, "dressed like a student and read The Guardian newspaper".
Hitzlsperger believes gay male footballers are living in fear of the repercussions they could face if they come out.
There are many openly gay players in the women's game, including England captain Casey Stoney, but none active at a high level in men's football.
Hitzlsperger wrote on his website: "Homosexuality is simply ignored in football.
"The media, on the other hand, have been interested in the subject for years. It's just that the players concerned have not dared to declare their inclinations because the world of football still sees itself to some extent as a macho environment."
Premier League managers have praised Hitzlsperger's decision.
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet said: "I am really proud of him coming out and saying it. I think society has changed a lot, and that will help a few players to come out and I think it will happen more and more often, so credit to him."
Hull manager Steve Bruce added: "It's very, very brave of him. It mustn't have been easy to make that decision.
"I'm sure there are gay footballers, same as there are gay barmen or gay actors. Fair play to the lad, he's come out and been as honest has he can be."
Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis said: "If people do come out they'll be protected and they'll be respected. I think that's the great thing about this country.
"The greatest thing about our society is that we are an open society.
"We welcome everything, every extreme, every different avenue. We're not a country that is subversive in any way, shape or form.
"Whether it's colour, creed, religion, whatever, I think this is the greatest country in the world for that."

Structural Oak Beams
Is there any other building material which has had a greater influence on British and European architecture? Could Oak even claim to have shaped more lives and history than any other material? Maybe.
Structural Oak beams are miraculous, modern composite materials that match its load-bearing capabilities, but oak gives more:
- You can fall in love with oak beams in a home, they are beautiful
- You can feel the satisfaction of knowing you have locked CO2 into your home, reducing your impact on our planet
- You can create a medieval homage or a space-age experiment and both will look great
- You can recycle oak in 800 years time and it will still be useful
Nothing else on Earth comes close to claiming the title of the ultimate high-performance building material, structural Oak won that race a thousand years ago.
Now we have established that oak it the choice of the heart and the mind, you must choose where to source it. Please talk to experts, people who really understand oak, people who go to the forests and dig holes to understand the soil that the trees grew in, it makes a difference. People who have invested in saws so they can cut your beams from trees. People who believe doing it properly matters, Timberpride.

Green Oak Beams
Green beams are cut to order so there is no waste for the you to consider even with non-standard sections, the colour is uniform and the drying splits have not started to develop. They are heavier (80% moisture content), but they are much easier to cut joints into as they are not as hard as seasoned beams.
Structurally there is no difference between seasoned and green, but visually the differance can be huge.
British Oak Logs
Timberpride's green oak is cut from British logs, sourced from managed woodland all around the UK.
Inspected and selected by Alec, our internal TRADA Grader, and brought back to the Sawmill here in Tetbury, for milling on our in house band saw.

Seeing the success I have had in previous kofta dishes (Kofta Flowers , Lamb Koftas with Mint Yogurt Dressing , Lamb Kofta with Tahini and Pom Chili Jam ) this is one of the simpler of the lot.
Simply flavoring the minced meat with very Greek flavors including feta cheese gives it a flavor that you cannot exactly pin-point. After grilling, I topped the koftas with some farmer's salad to make a deliciously complete meal.
This is one of those meals best for the Summer, but making it any time of year would be great.
For the Kofta:
400 g ground beef
1/2 cup crumbled organic feta cheese
2 tsp dried organic oregano
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt or lebna
3/4 tsp salt
For the Salad:
3 tomatoes
2 cucumbers
1 onion
1 handful fresh mint
1 tsp sumac
1 tsp salt
4-5 Tbsp olive oil
Combine all ingredients of the kofta in a large bowl.
Mix well with clean hands until the mixture is well mixed. This takes a couple of minutes.
Form into patties of your preferred size.
Cook the patties in a skillet in butter or in olive oil. You can also grill them.
Don't cook too long, only until the patties are just cooked through, otherwise they might turn out dry.
To make the salad, dice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions as coarse or as finely as you like.
Roughly chop the mint and add. Add the sumac and salt, toss. Add the olive oil and toss.
Serve the hot kofta scattered in a dish topped and surrounded with the salad.
صحة و عافية

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - March 2, 2009
Resistance Levels: 7377, 7449, 7500, 7552
Support Levels: 7036, 7000, 6936
http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart
The Dow Jones set a new 52 week low on Friday bouncing off of the 7036 support level. The volume was very high due to Citi and B of A. I would think the 7000 would offer a nice level of support like 8000 did for awhile. Keep this in mind: October 28, 1997 - The Dow Jones opened at 7161, hit a low of 6936, rallied to a high of 7553 to end the day at 7498. If we get the right news, this is the potential move we could get. The 6936 offers additional support as well. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

My husband had run to the store right before my run this evening. As I was running where I run all the time I noticed a balloon that said, 'I love you" and some flowers on a bench. No note, no name, no people around. For one brief minute I thought… Maybe, my husband put them there for me! I called him and asked if he put anything out here like flowers? His response, "What? You do know who you called right? Did you call the right person?" Its safe to say they were not for me. Ha ha. But, I hope whoever they were meant for saw them. We need more of that in this world. So sweet.
A funny thing happened on my run…

The Uninvited is a 1944 American supernatural mystery/romance film directed by Lewis Allen. It is based on the Dorothy Macardle novel Uneasy Freehold.
It was nominated for a 1945 Academy Award for Best Black and White Cinematography for Charles Lang's camerawork.
The movie begins with a narration by Ray Milland. "They call them the haunted shores, these stretches of Devonshire and Cornwall and Ireland which rear up against the westward ocean. Mists gather here, and sea fog, and eerie stories. That's not because there are more ghosts here than in other places, mind you. It's just that people who live hereabouts are strangely aware of them."
London music critic and composer Roderick "Rick" Fitzgerald (Ray Milland) and his sister Pamela (Ruth Hussey) discover a handsome, abandoned seaside house during a holiday on one of England's rocky coasts on the 10th of May, 1937. Even though their terrier, Bobby, refuses to climb the house's graceful, curving stairway, Pamela and Rick find themselves having "fallen head-over-heels in love" with the grand old home. Pamela insists that "important decisions have to be made quickly," and the brother and sister purchase the property, called Windward House, for an unusually low price from its owner, the imposing Commander Beech (Donald Crisp). The Commander long ago inherited the eighteenth-century home from his grandmother, then, more recently, gave it to his late daughter, Mary Beech Meredith. During the property sale transaction, Rick and Pamela meet Beech's 20-year-old granddaughter, Stella Meredith (Gail Russell), who lives with her grandfather in the nearby town of Biddlecombe. Stella is deeply upset by the sale of Windward because of her attachment to it and to the memory of her mother, despite Windward's being the location of her mother's death when Stella was but three. Her nostalgia over the house is discouraged by the Commander, who has forbidden Stella to enter. However, against Beech's wishes, she gains access to Windward House through Rick, who has become infatuated with Stella's charm and "Sleeping Beauty magic."
The Fitzgeralds' initial enchantment with the house diminishes, once they have become its owners and unlock a forbidding and uncomfortable artist's studio, in which they experience an unexplainable chill; even a small bouquet of roses Pamela has picked withers in the cheerless room. A few weeks later, once Rick arrives in Biddlecombe to stay, he learns that Bobby has deserted Windward in a decidedly uncharacteristic manner for a terrier. Then, just before dawn, after his own first night in his new home, Rick hears the eerie and heartbreaking sobs of an unseen woman--a phenomenon that Pamela has investigated thoroughly during the time she has spent decorating Winward whilst awaiting her brother's return with the Fitzgeralds' Irish housekeeper, Lizzie Flynn (Barbara Everest). Lizzie's cat, like the terrier Bobby, will not climb the stairway. And although the superstitious Lizzie notices a peculiar draft on the stairs, she is ignorant of the sounds of weeping. Now Rick and Pamela must face the obvious--a secret they must keep from Lizzie: Windward House is haunted.
On a pleasant Sunday evening, Stella comes to Windward for dinner, and she soon becomes aware of Windward's spirit. Rather than fearing it, she senses a calming presence that she associates with her mother, as well as a strong scent of mimosa--her mother's favorite perfume. Suddenly Stella becomes unreasonably distressed for enjoying herself in her mother's house. Crying, "But she was so young, and she died so cruelly," Stella dashes down the stairs and out across the lawn towards the very cliff from which Mary Meredith fell to her death seventeen years earlier. "It's that blasted room!" Rick calls to Pamela as he chases Stella and catches her just before she falls from the cliff to the rocky seas below. Something in Windward has possessed Stella and tried to kill her. As Rick, Pamela, and Stella return to the house, they hear a scream from Lizzie Flynn. Lizzie has seen a ghostly apparition, and, in short order, decides to sleep at a neighbor's farmhouse (although remaining in the Fitzgeralds' employ).
Windward's now undeniable haunting and the ways in which it relates to Stella prove to be a complex mystery. The strange occurrences are investigated by the Fitzgeralds along with the town physician, Dr. Scott (Alan Napier), whom they've befriended, and who has adopted the Fitzgeralds' wandering terrier, Bobby. In exploring the history of the family, they are told that Stella's father, a painter, had had an affair with his model--a Spanish gypsy girl named Carmel. Stella's mother, Mary Meredith, from all accounts a beautiful and virtuous woman, found out about the infidelity and took Carmel to Paris, leaving her there. Carmel eventually came back, stole the infant Stella and, during a confrontation, flung Mary Meredith off the nearby cliff to her death. Shortly afterward, Carmel herself became ill and died.
Rick, Pamela and Dr. Scott conspire to dissuade Stella from her dangerous obsession with Windward by staging a séance. Using an upturned wineglass and an alphabet on a tabletop, they attempt to convey to Stella the "message" that Stella's mother wants her daughter to stay away from the house. Suddenly the real ghost takes over the proceedings, communicating that it is guarding Stella, presumably from the ghost of Carmel. A sort of ghostly confrontation ensues, causing the wineglass to fly from the table and shatter. Stella is unexpectedly possessed by the spirit of a woman who mutters in Spanish, "My love," and "Do not believe!" The séance is interrupted by Commander Beech, who removes Stella and secretly arranges for her to be sent to The Mary Meredith Retreat, a sanitorium run by a Miss Holloway (Cornelia Otis Skinner), Mary Meredith's childhood friend and confidante. Holloway worships Mary with an obsession that borders on insanity.
The Fitzgeralds travel by car to the sanitorium to interview Holloway, not knowing that Stella is confined there. Holloway explains to them that after Mary's death, she took care of Carmel, who had contracted pneumonia and eventually died of the illness. The Fitzgeralds return home with little new information. Rifling through old records left by the previous village physician, Dr. Scott discovers that Carmel died of neglect at the hands of Miss Holloway. The doctor is then called away to care for an ailing Commander Beech, who tells him that Stella is at the sanitorium. Knowing Holloway's true nature, Rick, Pam, and Scott decide to rescue Stella. They telephone Holloway and tell her that they are on their way.
At the Meredith Retreat, knowing the trio is en route, Holloway deceives Stella, saying that the Fitzgeralds have invited her to live with them to be closer to the spirit of her mother. Stella happily takes the train home, not knowing Holloway's motive is to send her alone to house filled with a malevolent spirit, who will quickly overwhelm Stella, leading her to the cliff and a deadly fall.
The trio arrives at the sanitorium only to find a deranged Holloway, who tells them that Stella is on her way to Windward House. They rush back towards Biddlecombe, but are twenty minutes behind Stella's train. Stella arrives at the house to find her grandfather in the haunted artist's studio. Weakened nearly to the point of death, he begs Stella with his last strength to get out of the house, but she loyally remains at his side. As a ghostly presence appears, the Commander succumbs to a heart attack.
Stella welcomes the ghost, convinced it is the protective spirit of her mother. But the cold, vindictive apparition makes her scream with fright, and she flees in panic again towards the cliff. Rick, Pam, and Scott arrive just in time to pull Stella from the crumbling cliff to safety.
Back inside the still-troubled house, the group is drawn again to the physician's journal found by Dr. Scott. They discover that before her death at the hands of Miss Holloway, Carmel gave birth to a child--apparently in Paris, where Stella herself was born. Then the truth becomes clear: Stella's mother is actually Carmel, who returned to Windward from Paris not for love of Mary's husband, but to be near her own little girl. Stella recalls that mimosa was said to be her mother's favorite perfume, not that of Mary Meredith at all. Indeed, the warm scent of mimosa and the heartfelt, ghostly sobs have been emanating from Carmel--not from supposedly saintly Mary--all along. Understanably, Stella is relieved to learn that she is not the child of the cold, perfect Mary Meredith. Being Carmel's daughter makes sense to her, and she realizes that the spirit of her true mother is free and has left Windward, never to cry again.
Something evil, though, has remained. The living flee the house--all but Rick, who overcomes his own terror to confront the cruel and furious spirit of Mary Meredith, admonishing her that they are no longer afraid of her, and that she has no power over them anymore. Defeated, Mary's spirit then departs, and the house is calm. Lizzie's cat eases up the stairway, licking a paw. The night of struggling spirits and wicked vindication has ended, and a bright future dawns for Rick, Stella, Pamela, Scott, and, perhaps, even for Windward House on its lonely cliff along a haunted shore.
The Uninvited was dramatized as a radio play on the August 28, 1944 broadcast of the Ford Theatre with Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey and Betty Field. It was also presented on the November 18, 1949 broadcast of Screen Director's Playhouse with Ray Milland, Alma Laughton and Mary Shipp.
Director Martin Scorsese placed The Uninvited on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time.[3]
