Filed under: Regional REO Banks
This will be a short review being that Private Financial Services only had a single REO property listing at the time of this writing. PFS is a property management company that specializes in Oil & Gas properties with mineral rights. They have provided services for Bank of Oklahoma, Bank of Texas, Bank of Albuquerque, Bank of Arizona, Colorado State Bank and Trust, Bank of Arkansas, Bank of Kansas City, and Southwest Trust Company.
For the single listing they had it did not have a picture. It does have some basic real listings information and contact information for the broker representing the property. Maybe in the future we will see more listings.

Wetsuit Blog — Truli Wetsuits
Hi from Toronto! How have you been? March 2018
Posted by Mia Toose on
Thursday, March 8, 2018I'm excited to write to you on International Women's Day because this day for me is a reminder that incredible things can happen even in the face of fear when women band together, support each other and lift each other up! Let's make a commitment to support and encourage all women who want to participate in water sports regardless of what they look like, how old they are, what size or ability they are. Ya!The more I talk to women who love the water, the more I see how connected we are and that our emotions are...

Stream2Sea: Sunscreen that is SAFE for the aquatic environment
Posted by Mia Toose on
Every day on social media you can see people talking about their need for Vitamin "Sea" and sun-kissed skin. They count down the days to their next visit to the beach where the sun and water refuel them, lift their moods and calm their minds. The impact that bodies of water along with the sun and nature have on us is undeniable and is in fact proven. Part of this entire ocean air, salty hair experience is slapping on that delicious coconut-scented sunscreen that protects our skin from the harmful rays of the sun allowing us that extra time to soak...

Truli Inspired: Kristin SUP and Surfer girl in California in her Truli-Mi
Posted by Mia Toose on
I met Kristin in September 2017 while we were both exhibiting at The Butterfly Effect in Lake Tahoe, California. Kristin, a pro SUP racer and surfer, came over to try a Truli and fell in love! She was exactly the person I was looking to connect with so I could learn more about the surf and SUP wetsuit needs of a typical California woman! Later in my trip, Kristin was kind enough to meet up with me in her hometown of Laguna Beach to go for a gorgeous SUP paddle and snorkel among the kelp forests. Job Title: Independent Sales Rep/...

Hi! How have you been? Home is where the heart is... October 2017
Posted by Mia Toose on
How many people here love getting newsletters in their Inbox? Not me! That's why I decided to only send my Truli fans 4 E-Letters a year! For me, it's a perfect opportunity to reflect on the past 3 months and for you, well, less email flooding your inbox. Also, my goal is for you to actually OPEN your email and stay in touch with me. I Truli love connecting with other passionate water woman. Looking back at the last 3 months, some very interesting and (dare I say it?) "life-changing" things happened. I kinda love it when life itself shakes...

A teenager who died in police custody shortly after being arrested could have taken drugs, it has been claimed.
Martin Dakers collapsed in Washington police station on Friday, 90 minutes after being picked up on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
Paramedics tried to save him but the 17-year-old of Pendle Close, Lambton Village, Washington, later died in Sunderland General Hospital.
A post-mortem examination has shown he died of a heart attack but that there were no obvious physical abnormalities which could have caused this.
Supt Mark Hassen of the Police Professional Standards Department has been investigating the incident under the watch of the Police Complaints Commission.
He said: "We are still awaiting results of toxicology tests but early indications are that Martin had taken drugs on Friday evening.
"We don't know what it was or what quantity but it may have been ecstasy. It should serve as a strong warning to others about the potential dangers of taking drugs.
"We are now trying to establish what Martin was doing in the time before he was arrested and we need to speak to people who were either with him or saw him in the area."
Police have already spoken to a number of his friends but need to contact other witnesses.
Martin was arrested just after 9pm but had been out and about in the village before that.
NAnyone with any information is asked to contact police on (0191) 454 7555 and ask for police control.

Our School is a voluntary controlled school. This means that, in our case, we are a religious, Church of England school but the Local Authority has responsibility for the school. However, anybody can apply for a place at our school and applications will be considered by the Local Authority following the most recent admissions criteria.
The Local Authority is also responsible for:
• Employing the staff
• Setting the admissions criteria.
In Voluntary Controlled schools, the land and buildings are normally owned by a charity. The charity appoints some of the Governors. In our case, the Local Authority owns the land and buildings.
We follow the National Curriculum and are regularly inspected by OfSTED and we also have Anglican Church inspections on a regular basis. Please visit the relevant pages of the site for more details on our curriculum and our teaching methods.
St. Nicholas CofE Primary School has strong links with St. Nicholas Church in Rawreth.
The Rector, Revd. Richard Jordan is a frequent visitor to the school and has worked with the children on a number of different projects.
St. Nicholas Church is a very active church with an interesting history. If you wish to attend a service at St. Nicholas, the following information may be of interest....

The pristine lowland rainforest of Danum Valley is arguably Borneo's premier wildlife location. Situated amidst and enormous forest concession, over 400 square km have been set aside as a conservation area.
These forests are known to harbour some of the richest concentration of species anywhere on the island – orangutans, clouded leopard, pygmy elephants, Sumatra rhinos, Banteng (wild ox), red-leaf monkeys, gibbons, pig-tailed macaques, sambar deer, bearded pigs, western tarsier, sunbear and 320 species of bird including all eight species of the Bornean Hornbills and six species of Pitta, including the impressive Giant Pitta. Several bird species are endemic to Borneo: Bornean Bristlehead, Bulwer's Pheasant, Bornean Ground-Cuckoo, Bornean Wren-Babbler, Black-throated Wren-Babbler and Dusky Munia, just to name a few. Danum Valley is indeed a birdwatcher's paradise!
For more information see Mammal's List and Bird's List
Danum Valley rainforest is one of the oldest, tallest and most diverse in the world. Dipterocarp trees dominate the forest around Borneo Rainforest Lodge and Danum Valley Field Centre with the canopy in places reaching a height of over 70 metres. 90% of the Conservation Area is classified as lowland dipterocarp forest with the remaining 10% being low canopy, sub-montane forest mainly at Mt. Danum in the heart of the Conservation Area. The family Dipterocarpaceae comprises over 500 species from 17 genera and have a pantropical distribution; Borneo is a 'hotspot' for dipterocarp diversity. The family name derives from the characteristic two-winged fruits and the trees are exploited for timber and other products.
Sunrise and sunset from an observation tower
Danu Valley features include a canopy walkway, a heart-stopplingly springy platform 107 m long and 27 m above the ground, an ancient Dusun burial site, waterfalls and jungle trails.
Early morning is perhaps the best time to enjoy the tree top view of the forest from the canopy walkway. As the sun breaks through, the canopy is briefly set on fire in a golden blaze of light beams. With gibbon calling and hornbill flying by, few more evocative experiences are imaginable. The canopy walkway provides a great birdwatching opportunity; various barbets and broadbills may be seen, as well as the enigmatic and endemic Bornean Bristlehead.
After dark, night walk and night drive safari offer a window into the secretive world of the forest's nocturnal creatures: mouse deer, flying squirrels, civets and flying lemurs are often seen. There is also a reasonable chance of seeing Slow Loris, Western Tariser and Bornean Horned Frog.
The Danum Valley has not always been uninhabited. Several centuries ago a Sutpan longhouse sat opposite the site of the Borneo Rainforest Lodge. The Sutpan are an 'upriver' subtribe of the Dusun. A 300 year old burial site, easily accessible from the lodge, was discovered at the top of the steep hill overlooking the river. A huge wooden coffin sits on a rocky outcrop. It is thought to belong to a Suptan chief, his trusty blowpipe laid out inside the coffin, his sun-bleached bones to one side. Nearby are the small coffins of two children, both of whom are said to have died of chickenpox.

Borneo Rainforest Lodge is one of the finest tourism developments in Sabah. It has only 31 chalets with fans and en-suite bathrooms, accommodating up to only 60 guests. These chalets are designed like local village houses on stilts. They are made up of "belian" (ironwood) and stones from the nearby rivers. The main building with a spacious lobby that overlooks the forest is the ideal place to have your meals and compare notes on the day's findings. Borneo Rainforest Lodge amid the tranquil tropical forest is nature at its best.

Mengaris Trees
Hornbills keep Asian rainforests healthy and diverse
Gliding among animals is seen to be only common in the Asian tropical rainforest. Many animals there ascend up trees and glide either to the ground or to other trees nearby. The main mechanism behind gliding is to increase the body surface area. To do this, all the species of gliding animals have a flap of skin that is flattened and spread out. The wider the spread, the smoother the glide and the longer the time they spent in air. Gliding is not exclusive only to a group of animals; in fact gliding can be seen, among, snakes, lizards, frogs and mammals. The following at specific species, paradise flying snake (chrysopelea pelias), flying dragon (draco volans), flying gecko (ptychozoon kuhli) and Wallace's flying frog (rhacophorus nigropalmatus).
Mengaris trees are among the tallest trees in the rain forests, especially in the lowlands. In fact, a mengaris can grow up to a height of 90 m! Yes, that's as tall as a 30-storey building! In fact, it is one of the ten tallest tree species in the world.Although they can be very large in size, mengaris trees are seldom cut down, or logged, because their wood breaks or splits easily when they fall. Also, their wood has a very high content of silica (like sand) and this will cause the saws in sawmills to go blunt very fast! Mengaris trees are homes to bees. Bees, especially during the flowering season, make their hives high up on the trees. Village folks know how to get honey from the hives without getting stung by the bees.
Hornbills are one of Asia's most attractive birds. Large, colorful, and easier to spot than most other birds, hornbills have become iconic animals in the tropical forests of Asia. Yet, most people probably don't realize just how important hornbills are to the tropical forests they inhabit: as fruit-eaters, hornbills play a key role in dispersing the seeds of tropical trees, thereby keeping forests healthy and diverse. Hornbills are especially vital for Asia's fragmented rainforests because they are "mobile link" species. This means that because hornbills are capable of soaring over cleared forest areas or plantations, traveling from one forest patch to another to spread seeds across fragmented ecosystems.

- Tea of the Week for September 4, 2017: Ginger Cola Black Tea!
Tea of the Week for September 4, 2017: Ginger Cola Black Tea!
Posted by on
Tea Description: I have a confession. I have been cheating on tea with a cola. Not like all the time - not even every day . . . but every once in a while, I'll crack open a can of the ginger cola that's made by one of the 2 big cola giants. I'm not going to name names because I don't want to get a 'cease and desist' order - but it's in a slender, tall, bright copper-orange can and it's sold by individual cans rather than by the 6 or 12 pack.
Anyway, I originally only bought one can of this stuff - you know - just to try it. Curiosity. But I was hooked after my first sip. It's so good - that little touch of ginger cuts through the syrup-y sweetness that usually turns me off when it comes to soda.
I happen to like the cola flavored teas (in most cases, more than I like cola itself) so I decided I should try to craft a ginger cola black tea to get me over my affair with the cola because I like it better when tea is the main beverage in my life.
So I started with a base of black teas from China (Golden Yunnan, Fujian & Assamica grown in the Jing Mai Mountains) and added ginger as well as some candied (sugared) ginger and some cola essence. And WOWZA! I'm loving it! This is tasty as a hot tea but it excels as an iced tea!
ingredients: black teas
organic ingredients: ginger, candied (sugared) ginger & natural flavors
As I mentioned in the above description, I've had a little bit of an obsession with ginger cola. It takes what I wish ginger ale could be (more of an emphasis on the ginger) and what I wish cola could be (a little less syrupy sweet AND crafted with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup) - it is - in my estimation, the perfect soda. This is a little less carbonated and a little less sweet - with a lovely ginger bite to it.
So, yeah, I'm a little obsessed. I'm still not wild about drinking a lot of soda, so I limit myself to maybe 1 can a week.
But those other six days, I'm missing this tasty beverage - so I decided, hey, why not make a tea like the soda? Hey, I can do that!
First off, I want to say that this is tasty served as a hot beverage but you really should either serve it iced. It's so much better! The cola flavors pop when the tea is chilled. I've tried hot-brewing it and then cooling it to "cold" in the fridge and this worked splendidly. I'm sure that it will work nicely as a cold-brewed beverage too, I just haven't yet taken the time to do that.
Served hot: the ginger has a nice warmth to it - there's a distinct BITE of ginger. The cola isn't as dominate when the beverage is hot. Oh, it's there, definitely - but it's just not as strong as the ginger in the hot cuppa. It's still a really tasty hot cuppa, though!
But when it's iced: that's the ticket! I think I might like this better than the soda - because tea is my favorite way to supply caffeine to my dependency. (Yes, I am addicted to caffeine. I'm thinking that probably comes as no surprise to any of you reading this.)
to brew: before you start measuring, be sure to give the pouch a good shake because some of the ginger will have settled to the bottom of the pouch. Make sure that the ingredients are all well-distributed and don't overleaf this one - although it will be tricky to get yourself a teaspoon of the tea because the leaves are rather large. I suggest digging out a teaspoon that you'd stir your tea with rather than a measuring teaspoon - and measure out a rounded teaspoon of the leaf to 12 ounces of boiling water. I actually shoot for just barely under boiling (205°F) because I find that the finished cup tends to be just a tad smoother with the slight reduction in temperature.
steep for 2 1/2 minutes, strain and enjoy. I suggest just a little bit of sugar with this one because it IS a cola tea and that itsy bitsy bit of sugar really does help this taste more "soda like." It's still good without the sugar but this is one of those teas that I prefer just a pinch of sugar. Either way, DO let this cool at least 10 minutes, I suggest longer. You don't like drinking hot soda, do you? Same concept. The cola flavors really come to life when this tea cools.

Now, New Yorkers won't have to bring their danishes to 5th Avenue to get a taste of Tiffany's. Starting at 9 am on May 1st, the jewelry brand is painting the city robin's-egg blue to mark the release of Chief Artistic Officer Reed Krakoff's first collection, Paper Flowers. In putting together the installation, Krakoff tells Vogue he was inspired by the effortless beauty and certain irreverence that Audrey Hepburn embodied in Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's "the juxtaposition of wearing a floor length gown and a tiara while holding a paper bag with coffee and a pastry," he explains. "The idea that luxury doesn't have to be formal."
Krakoff wanted to "offer a sense of unexpected discovery and joy," to New York's everyday commuters, so Tiffany is bringing its decidedly springy trademark color to a number of city staples: select cabs will shed their yellow paint, subway stairs will get an aqua upgrade, and a number of MetroCards are getting a splash of Tiffany's cachet. Bodegas from Prince Street to 57th will be adorned with literal paper flowers, handmade for the occasion by the Tiffany creative team.
Much like the real blossoms that have transformed New York over the past days, the Tiffany takeover won't last forever, with the final bits of the hue disappearing by May 4th (a surprise announcement will occur on social media the day before). For those who want to make a point of visiting—and posing at—multiple spots, the brand has provided a custom Google map, useful for chasing away any mean reds with a bit of Tiffany blue.

When Minecraft debuted on the Wii U in December, fans rejoiced. Some were left wondering whether Minecraft: Story Mode would also make the jump, especially considering that none of Telltale's other games were available on the console.
On January 18, however, Telltale and Mojang announced that Story Mode was coming to the Wii U in fairly short order. Not only that, but it would be available both as individual episodes and a Season Pass option to get all of the episodes with a single purchase.
Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode I: The Order of the Stone will be released on the Wii U e-Shop on January 21. Additional episodes will be released in the coming weeks as well, until all five episodes are available. Individual episodes will be priced at $4.99 each. The Season Pass for Story Mode will sell for $19.99 and will give players access to episodes 2 through 5 as well, with Season Pass owners getting the new game episodes as they become available.
The Wii U version of the game will support off-screen and mirrored play on the Wii U GamePad. A pretty common Wii U feature, this will allow players to enjoy the game either on the TV or on the GamePad's screen if the TV is in use. It will also feature both touch and joystick controls, letting players use standard controllers or control the game directly from the touch screen on the gamepad.
A lot of people were kind of confused when Minecraft: Story Mode was first announced, since part of the point of Minecraft was that it didn't have a story. Telltale won over a lot of the game's critics, though, and managed to craft an enjoyable story within the world of Minecraft. Being able to tell this story on the Wii U opens it up to even more potential fans, especially so close on the heels of the Wii U Minecraft release.
If Story Mode does well on the Wii U, it makes one wonder whether other Telltale titles could see a Wii U release as well. Though rumors of a Nintendo NX release in late 2016 or sometime in 2017 could limit the appeal of porting games to the system, it could open up a new potential market for some of Telltale's other titles like Back to the Future or The Wolf Among Us. Even if nothing else gets released on the Wii U, hopefully a positive experience will make Telltale interested in future releases once the NX gets here.
Next: Minecraft Gets Its Biggest Console Update Ever
Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode I is set for release on January 21, 2016 in the Wii U e-Shop.

This was my first ever completed PC build inspired by youtubers who created a similar build (Austin Evans, Joey Delgado, etc). I felt like I didn't need to go too crazy with this one as I am new to PC gaming. The processor is Intel Pentium G4600, the reason I used this one instead of the G4560 is because the G4560 was out of stock at the time. Motherboard is the MSI B250M Pro-VD, a pretty simple motherboard nothing too crazy, can't overclock it unfortunately but a lot of upgrades can be made with the skylake and kaby lake chipsets. It is a micro atx motherboard that supports m.2 ssd's which is really nice. The ram I used was 8gb ddr4 at 2133mhz, I went with this ram as opposed to nicer looking ram with heatsinks is because its not a windowed case and also because I'm on a budget. With storage I just went with the WD Blue 1TB hard drive, pretty reliable so far, lots of storage however I'm pretty sure if I used an SSD the boot time would be much faster. The graphics card is a EVGA GTX 1050 ti SC edition, this is really nice small card that packs a lot of power at such low wattage, meaning that there is no PCI power required for this card. Power supply is just a evga 430w, yes I did cheap out on this one too but its 80+ certified and has a lot of favourable reviews, and like I said I am also using a graphics card with no pci power connector so it should be more than fine. And housing everything together is the thermaltake versa h15, such a nice looking case. However, there wasn't a lot of room for cable management. It's fair to say that I'm kinda proud of this build as it is my first, after watching a lot of how to build a pc video's prior to building this, I was able to assemble the PC with ease and setting up wasn't a problem at all. This PC in the US should only be around $450 USD, how ever since I live in Canada and the dollar being terribly inflated here, this build ended up being around $650, not including monitor, keyboard,etc.
Part Reviews
Really good CPU for the money, with similar specs to the kabylake/skylake core i3 chips, you are able to get this $40 cheaper than the i3. With 2 cores and 4 threads, perfect for a budget pc build.
Really easy motherboard to work with, with a manual that makes a lot of sense. Only 1 system fan header but thats alright with me because I am only using 1 fan. Metal PCI slot for extra protection against things such as traveling with a PC (not that I will be doing that).
Really well priced ram I got from Memory Express, runs fine, nothing too fancy and especially with a non-windowed case, I don't have to worry about looks.
Reliable, there is nothing else to it. 1TB of storage at this price you can't beat it.
Video Card
AMAZING CARD! No PCI power connector required so for people looking to add more horsepower to their used family PC it is totally worth doing so. I was able to run pretty much every game in high frame rates. With the 4gb of GDDR5 VRAM you are able to future proof your pc a little bit without having to upgrade in the next year or so.
Really nice looking case exterior wise. However, cable management was kind of tricky as I had to remove the 20+4 pin power connector once while trying to reroute my cables, but other than that I was able to pull some clean decent cable management.
Power Supply
Really reliable power supply from a very reputable company. Heard a lot of favourable reviews on this one and has been included in a lot of tech youtuber pc builds so could not pass on this one. Very quiet as well.

Become Smarter – About Becoming Smarter
Hello Aspiring Genius,
Let me introduce myself first. I am Jeremy Wong, a brain power enthusiast, and the reason I set up this blog is to build up the biggest resource on how to become smarter for everyone, including you, to use.
I've always had troubles finding information about how to maximize brain power, and it's even more of a pain when they only explain the theories behind it without telling you what you can do clearly. Then one day, I decided that I should gather every single piece of information I can, and put them all into one easily accessible website.
Thus, BecomingSmarter.com was born.
Many people are not using their brain to the maximum and I seek to change that, even if it's only by a little.
Imagine a world where people were all just a little more intellectual and smarter.
It would be great and many good things will come of it; solutions to problems we have, better communication, more meaningful conversations.
This website was made with community in mind, and I want you to be part of it.
Ask questions anytime you want to, either by leaving them as comments on the posts, or by sending an e-mail to me at email@example.com. I will try my best to answer them and even post them as full entries on their own for everyone to see and learn from.
And please do leave your feedback whenever you think of something! It will make this website a better place for everyone. :)
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
To your Smartness,
Jeremy Wong

When the road is well and accurately maintained, also travelling on the road is safe and comfortable.
In order for the above to come true, it requires expert knowledge and reliability of the road maintenance equipment. Pajakulma designs and equips also the road maintenance vehicles fully according to the customer's needs.
This was also the case when Kuljetus Esko Joensuu Oy's order was a "fully equipped road maintenance vehicle". The company embarked on a five-year contract of road management and the needs list filled a sheet of paper lightly: In winter, motorway maintenance, in the summer gravel road maintenance as well as asphalt road edge filling, which required a separate equipment. Side plough and front plough for normal ploughing and underbody scraper for the packed ice removal in the winter and for gravel roads shaping and alignment in the summer. Yet another device for salt spreading and, furthermore, hydraulics for the edge filling and street sweeping. The vehicle would also be used for gravel transport, so a trailer and cassette body equipment were needed, too.
– Pajakulma is a well-known and skilled operator who was able to serve us in a geographically close location. The truck was designed according to our needs from the outset, and it corresponds fully to the plans. This was well known in beforehand and because of that the order was given. I am happy especially with the underbody scraper, I truly needed it. It is certainly the best on the market, the owner Mika Närhi says.
Devices are developed and adjusted together
About 70-80% of the truck work is road maintenance and the rest is normal earth transport. Even one and a half years after the commissioning of the truck, co-operation with Pajakulma is regular. Truck equipment is developed and adjusted together. Transport Esko Joensuu also carries out test runs for Pajakulma's new ploughing equipment in its development stage.

ERIE, Pa. – The Penn State Behrend outdoor track & field team had three student-athletes named U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Region honorees for the 2018 NCAA Division III outdoor season.
Freshman Braeden Smith (Erie, PA/Seneca), junior Haley Yenchik (Cecil, PA/Canon McMillan) and senior Rachel Pell (Elizabeth, PA/Elizabeth Forward) were selected in the Mideast Region for being one of the top five individuals in the region to earn the distinction. All three athletes were also selected to the Indoor All-Region team in their respective events. Only athletes from USTFCCCA member institutions are eligible for the award.
Smith was the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) champion in the high jump (2.00m) and then took second place at the ECAC Championships with a leap of 2.03m.
Yenchik and Pell welcome All-Region honors for the events they qualified in for to the NCAA Championships. Both are making their first appearance at nationals. Yenchik was named All-Region the pole vault and Pell in the 400m hurdles. Yenchik was the CSAC and ECAC Champion in the pole vault, breaking the conference and Behrend record with a height of 3.73m. Pell, the CSAC Track Athlete of the Year and Athlete of the Meet, also earned ECAC Most Outstanding Performer this outdoor season. She won the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles at the ECAC Championships, while claiming the title in 400m and 400m hurdles at the CSAC Championships.

One of the interesting characteristics of an older person is their capacity to do it again. It? Something that they did before, but have become dissatisfied with.
This is not a project that they have abandoned, nor the one that they have become disinterested in. It is not something that they have run out of money on…though that is always a possibility these days. It is something that they have decided to do better.
I had one of these occasions this week, when I unceremoniously tore apart a model that had been done a few months ago. It was a simple utilitarian box that housed a battery for model lighting. Made of foamcore board and then clad with painted matte board, it was dull and surprisingly unsatisfying to see. When it started to separate at a seam, I realised that my previous effort had been simultaneously complex and shoddy.
I need a battery box to power the 1:12th scale studio lights on my model film set. These have turned out splendidly, as anything that you make from yoghurt containers does. It is also needed for the 1:18th scale garage – leading to a possible scale disparity.
The answer was to make it as a nondescript but detailed mobile starter cart like they have at airports. A coffin body with four rubber-tyred wheels at each corner and a low-slung profile. Perhaps a tow hitch at one end – certainly the switch and plug connectors at the other. And the top need not be hinged – it can just be removable.
Scrap 3mm mdf board and some oak strip reinforcement went together easily and this time no fussy cladding was needed. I primed and painted the chassis a good light grey and then put bright warning signs about voltage on it to jazz it up. It can park near any model and provide 3 x 12 volt DC for as long as an exhibition lasts.
Best of all is the cost. Under the $ 5 mark all up – and I am much more satisfied with myself for having done it.

Who can resist the thick, cheesy, indulgence of mac and cheese? In our experience at Plated, very few. We love it for its versatility—it can be classic and simple (like elbow noodles and cheddar), packed with veggies, made with ziti, or even flavored with truffles! The options are oh-so endless. This is everything you need to create your own adventure of mac and cheese, whether you decide to amp it up, keep it simple, or land somewhere in between.
The pasta
Without pasta, it's just cheese. Nothing wrong with that, but for these purposes, you're going to need a noodle.
As the name would suggest, macaroni (short tubular noodles, often shaped into a round "elbow" shape) are the classic noodle for this dish. We always like the way they scoop up sauce, and can never resist the childhood memories that make this noodle the go-to.
The curly fusilli noodle is shaped like a corkscrew, and we like using it in mac and cheese because the outer grooves soak up plenty of sauce. In our four cheese mac and cheese, we smother fusilli with a comforting and creamy sauce of (you guessed it) four cheeses, before topping with breadcrumbs and baking.
Given its popularity in other baked pasta dishes (ahem, baked ziti), it's no surprise that this noodle also makes an excellent mac and cheese base. It can be ridged or smooth on the outside, but always features a hollow center—also excellent for scooping up any remaining sauce.
The cheese
So, the other part of mac and cheese is clearly the fromage. You have so many choices here, from the classic cheddar to combinations of other cheeses….so without further ado:
This originally English cheese is a go-to for a reason. It's got just enough sharpness and saltiness to perfectly compliment any cream and milk, it's widely available, melts well, and gives the dish its signature color.
Three cheese
We really enjoy combining many cheeses for our mac. We particularly like the combo of Fontina, Gruyère, and Parmesan like in this version, which also features kale and caramelized onions. The more the merrier!
For a super-indulgent, more French take on things, may we recommend lacing your mac and cheese with uber-creamy Brie? In this brand new Plated recipe, we're combining Brie, Cheddar, and a little cayenne pepper to make the perfect sauce for a mushroom and asparagus mix.
The rich, silky texture of mac and cheese is one of our favorite things, but sometimes we crave a little crunch, too. Try combining a little Parmesan and olive oil with breadcrumbs, then sprinkling them on top for a crisp. golden brown topping.
We love adding in vegetables for added texture, color, and heft to mac and cheese. Also, it makes us feel like we're not just eating carbs and dairy. Though we added beef to this mac and cheese and served it with Brussels sprouts, we're pretty sure the Brussels would be just as good in the pasta! Peas and pea shoots also take a springtime mac and cheese to the next level, adding brightness and a pop of color. Caramelized onion and kale make excellent additions, as does butternut squash.
Whether it's a garnish of chives or the addition of pesto, herbs always make a fragrant addition to a dish that, while delicious, can tend towards being one-note. Mix and match some of your favorite herbs (oregano, basil, you name it) and you'll end up with an even more complex, sensational mac!

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Shares in Italian oil and gas producer ENI ENI, +0.92% ENI, +0.92% slipped 1.1% in Milan on Wednesday. The prime minister of Kazakhstan -- Karim Masimov -- stepped up rhetoric about cost overruns at the Kashagan oil field, saying "we are very disappointed with the execution of this project," the Wall Street Journal reported. However, many observers believe the most likely outcome will be that ENI will stay as operator of the field -- one of the largest in the world -- but that Kazakhstan will demand more of the field's revenue, according to the paper.

Our view: The greatest gift
It's the season of giving.
Whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim or something else, the winter holiday season repeats the messages of love, generosity and human kindness.
As people head into the final week before Christmas and last minute shopping for gifts and party food and drink send us out into the crowded stores, it would behoove all of us to consider the idea of giving to strangers this season.
Researchers who study non-profit organizations recently released findings that 59 percent of nonprofits including United Way and local churches saw income hold steady at post-recession levels at best. Most of them saw income levels drop.
According to the study from the Nonprofit Research Collaborative, more than half who receive government funding, usually a bedrock stability for organizations, reported a decline in income for the year.
Hardest hit are small charitable organizations, with less than $3 million a year.
Even more concerning, about 8 percent of largers charities included in the report, and 20 percent of the smaller charities, reported a danger of closing for financial reasons.
Food pantries and homeless shelters also are reporting crisis levels of need coupled with a drop in donations.
The economy may be growing and unemployment rates in Michigan trickling downward, but generosity of spirit has never been more needed.
It's the season of giving. Please remember that giving to those in need can be the greatest gift of all.

Despite the beautiful hexagonal crystals, at its core, the snow selling industry is a pretty dirty business.
Snow is formed when vapour within clouds begins layering ice crystals upon tiny pieces of grit or dust. As more and more crystals are layered upon this structure, it will eventually become heavy enough to fall towards the ground.
It's those tiny pieces of grit and other minerals at the centre that gives each nationality of snow its own unique character.
Within each snow nationality we sell, we offer three grades of the product:
Our Hypertonic range involves the melted snow being put through reverse osmosis (no, not the band) and ending up with snow that contains double the minerals.
There is nothing added or enhanced; it is organic snow where we halve the amount of solution without reducing the solute.
This is super concentrated snow. Whatever its country of origin its that nationality only more so. With double the 'Siberinanness' it makes your Siberian snow twice as Siberian.

The New Minotaur Order
In October of 1995, Homelands was released. Universally panned as the "worst Magic set of all time," Homelands became a complete bust as far as Magic expansions were concerned - especially as time went on. Typically, older cards from older sets have the upside of becoming better or more useful because of the massive influx of new printings, especially over the course of 20-plus years. One such card from Homelands follows this protocol:
Didgeridoo is a card that, since its printing, has summoned minotaurs from far and away to join battle at instant speed and for a bargain of three colorless mana. At one mana to cast, that seems very good. However, with all of the old minotaurs being relatively useless, the Didgeridoo has sat in the desert wasteland buried in a bunker:
But now, it's back.
With the printing of Morophon, the Boundless, Didgeridoo becomes even more powerful. Functionally abusing this card means not only using it to its full extent, but avoiding complete and total dependence on it. With that being said, it's time to cheat some big-ass fucking creatures into play, Homelands-style:
n.M.o. - new Minotaur order - since 1995
4 Karn, the Great Creator
3 Lotus Petal
3 Serum Powder
3 Didgeridoo
3 Torpor Orb
4 Morophon, the Boundless
4 Boros Battleshaper
3 Phyrexian Dreadnought
2 Goblin Welder
2 Goblin Engineer
1 Simian Spirit Guide
3 Thoughtseize
3 Abrade
2 Enlightened Tutor
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Arid Mesa
3 Great Furnace
2 City of Traitors
2 Plateau
2 Badlands
1 Scrubland
1 Vault of Whispers
1 Mountain
2 Pyroblast
2 Surgical Extraction
1 Dread of Night
1 Ratchet Bomb
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Didgeridoo
1 Mycosynth Lattice
1 Phyrexian Dreadnought
1 Torpor Orb
1 Tormod's Crypt
1 Trinisphere
1 Pithing Needle
1 Zuran Orb
Go big or go home. Here is a list of card choices and synergies, most of which should make sense:
This card enables some incredibly broken starts. There are a multitude of ways to locate the card: Serum Powder, Enlightened Tutor, Goblin Engineer and Karn. All of these cards are very good on their own merit, and open up multiple avenues to find whatever the deck needs at any given time. Didgeridoo with fast mana can lead to ridiculously quick starts and can end the game in a hurry.
Serum Powder
This obviously helps you locate any of your combo pieces and, especially with the new mulligan rule, makes for a much better opportunity to find Didgeridoo in the opening seven. Serum Powder also has inherent synergy with Karn, because nothing is truly gone forever.
Karn, the Great Creator
Karn opens up so many avenues for this deck in particular. It's the most important card in the entire deck, hands down. Not only does it help you locate multiple combo pieces with Serum Powder, it shuts down decks reliant on artifacts. Karn also destroys Chalice, which is also very relevant. The sideboard has many options available that correlate to the main-deck, in addition to Lattice as an alternate win-condition.
Torpor Orb and Phyrexian Dreadnought
A powerful combination. Each piece of this combo can be located in a multitude of ways, as indicated above. Torpor Orb shuts down so many decks on its own - mainly tribal or aggro - such as Elves, Goblins, Death and Taxes and other similar strategies. Swords to Plowshares on Dreadnought is no longer a concern, especially with Karn being able to fetch the Dreadnought back from exile. A Serum Powder search for whatever the opening hand dictates is key, because if you don't need a certain piece to start and it's exiled, it can be retrieved later by Karn.
Morophon, the Boundless
One of the Outsiders of the n.M.o. This huge fucking creature will smash face, and pump up other minotaurs like Boros Battleshaper or your smaller creatures like Goblin Engineer or Welder. Morophon makes your other colored spells virtually free. Smash face.
Boros Battleshaper
Combat cold-cuts. This creature shuts down Marit Lage and other would-be attackers or blockers to smash in for five a turn. Battleshaper is the one true minotaur - one of the other Outsiders - that can end the game in a hurry if left unchecked.
Yeah, Chalice crap isn't happening here. Karn nails that down, as well. Abrade takes out other annoying creatures and stalls the early game to land a big turn three and beyond.
Protection and disruption, especially against faster combo decks. Karn has merit against Storm, and fast mana helps. Thoughtseize slows the game down and opens up turns two to four.
Enlightened Tutor
Finds you any artifact combo piece you need.
Goblin Engineer
Finds you any artifact combo piece you need, and brings it back when needed (i.e. Didgeridoo, Orb or Dreadnought). It also brings back countered artifacts from Karn that might be of use.
Goblin Welder
Same as above, without the Entomb built in. Welder sucks up counters or removal early, which is exactly what you want.
Dread of Night
This becomes easier to find as a singleton out of the board with Enlightened Tutor or Serum Powder. Death and Taxes can be annoying, so this slows it down quite a bit.
That's it. Smash with minotaurs and join the n.M.o.

Its still a work in progress. Lackey is too situational and harder to procure in the opener (when its really only optimal). Didgeridoo is available to get with multiple options.
The deck could, in theory, use one or two more Minotaurs or Changelings.

Perfect! Just got my Didgeridoos, or three of them, to get started with Morowhatevah in Minotaurs. Now it appears a substantial amount of work has been done already, I'll keep reading here and maybe come with some ideas eventually. Thanks for posting!
I don't see how Morophon is good. It's a vanilla 6/6 lord that makes your Welders free, that's about it. Is that worth jumping through all the hoops? Boros Battleshaper just wins the game a lot of the time, pwning even Emrakul, Griselbrand and Marit Lage. It's clearly your #1 target. For a 2nd fat Minotaur, what about Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion (synergizes with Welding) or Neheb, the Eternal? They're slightly smaller but have useful abilities and are theoretically possible to hardcast.
I also don't see the synergy and point of running Dreadnought. It does nothing with Didgeridoo and Morophon and Minotaurs, it just works with Welder and the artifact tutors for Orbs. Torpor Orb has very little synergy with the rest of the deck (even a nonbo with Welder 2.0) and is really just there for Dreadnought. If you want to cram in a 2-card artifact combo plan B into the deck, would Painter's Servant+Grindstone just be better and more synergistic? Or HelmLine? (SB 4 Leyline + 1 tutorable Helm of Obedience)
Is it worth playing black just for Thoughtseize and making the manabase more vulnerable? (given that you're running Sol Lands and artifact lands, it's not easy to cram in consistent fixing for 3 colors)
I'm with FTW that Orb/Dreadnought combo seems a bit out of place with the rest of the deck. I don't see the synergy outside of them being artifacts.
This may be a radical suggestion, but have you thought about running Bringer of the White Dawn? It's free to cast with a Morphon on the field and can be cast fast with your mana base / Lotus Petals. Bringer of the White Dawn and Mindslaver would work pretty well within the rest of your shell. Maybe even swap the Serum Powder for Pentad Prism?
Putting Bringer of the White Dawn into play to follow up a Morophon is devastating.
Goblin Engineer, especially when it's paired with Bringer's ability, it's a tutor to get whatever you want in play.
Here are some random thoughts.
Trinket Mage getting Didgeridoo seems very valuable. It also gets Dreadnought, if that's still in. Or Grindstone, for that matter.
I like Neheb even without the Minotaur theme, in the right deck, seems good here. Can easily be hardcast too, which makes me think of a blood moon and/or trinisphere version.
Tahngarth, Talruum Hero seems pretty good too, getting rid of Arcanists, Delvers and other troublesome creatures.
With Morophon, Reaper King is easily cast which makes Painter's Servant pretty great and Engineer recurring Painter even better.
Angel of Despairs. Even better with Painter's Servant + Grindstone combo.
Trinket Mage is also interesting, fetching Didgeridoo, Dreadnought and/or Grindstone. I'd be really tempted to play UWR instead of RWB, using blue for Trinket Mage and Brainstorm, which go a long way to improving consistency. If you're on the Dreadnought plan, you also gain Stifles (also useful outside the combo) and then can have a tutorable 1-of Torpor Orb for when you need it instead of runnign multiple maindeck Orbs (often dead card).

The manager who shepherded Van Halen from obscurity to rock stardom goes behind the scenes to tell the complete, unadulterated story of David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, and the legendary band that changed rock music.
Van Halen's rise in the 1980s was one of the most thrilling the music world had ever seen—their mythos an epic party, a sweaty, sexy, never-ending rock extravaganza. During this unparalleled run of success, debauchery, and drama, no one was closer to the band than Noel Monk. A man who'd worked with some of rock's biggest and most notorious names, Monk spent seven years with Van Halen, serving first as their tour manger then as their personal manager until 1985, when both he and David Lee Roth exited as controversy, backstabbing, and disappointment consumed the band.
Throughout Van Halen's meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this confidant, fixer, friend, and promoter saw it all and lived to tell. Now, for the first time, he shares the most outrageous escapades—from their coming of age to their most shocking behavior on the road; from Eddie's courtship and high profile wedding to Valerie Bertinelli to the incredible drug use which would ultimately lead to everyone's demise. Sharing never-before-told stories, Monk paints a compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen, bringing into focus the unique combination of talent, vision, hardship, and naiveté that shaped one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time—and made him and his brother vulnerable to the trappings and failings of fame.
Illustrated with dozens of rare photographs from Monk's vaults, Runnin' with the Devil is manna from rock heaven no Van Halen fan can miss.

A relatively new breed of "wolf cats" will surely interest animal lovers this Halloween for their werewolf-like appearance.
They are called Lykoi cats, and they possess a natural mutation that gives them the appearance of a scruffy-looking little wolf. But they don't just look like little werewolves, they are also said to act like dogs too.
Lykoi, which comes from the Greek word for wolf, are a fairly recent breed of cat that first appeared in 2010 and were bred by veterinarian Johnny Gobble and his wife Brittney. They are now the primary breeders of the cat.
Gobble's colleague, Patti Thomas, came up with the name after the first litter was presented to her. He explained via DailyMail:
"Our founding cats come from two unrelated litters. The first litter was presented to Patti as a natural occurring Sphynx mutation. This confirmation was done with DNA testing for Devon/Sphynx gene which the kittens did not have."
"The Lykoi Cat's name was the inspiration of Patti. She said Lykoi was the Greek word for wolf, and we all thought it was very fitting – 'wolf cat.' "
Because of a naturally occurring mutation found in black domestic shorthairs, Lykoi cats have no hair around the eyes, nose, ears and muzzle and go through periods of patchy hair throughout their lives. The mutation prevents the cat from developing an undercoat and growing a full coat of hair.
While Lykoi cats look like they could be wild and feral cats, they reportedly have a friendly hound dog personality, are driven by scent and are very intelligent.
According to Gobble's website, Lykoi cats are "aware of everything around them" and may initially be cautious to new owners but warm up quickly to become loyal and affectionate companions.
Gobble explained:
"They can be clingy at times, but generally if you are too busy to snuggle, they will take 'no' as an answer and will go on and amuse themselves … as long as they are close enough to keep an eye on you."
To ensure that their feral appearance was the cause of natural genetics and not a skin abnormality or disease, Gobbles put the breed through multiple skin, hair and DNA tests that were conducted by cardiologists and dermatologists at the University of Tennessee.
Gobble explained:
"Our cardiologist also performed cardiac scans to look for any structural problems with the hearts. In the end, we found that the cats are healthy and the hair pattern is not from any known disease or disorder."
There are currently only 32 show standard Lykoi and 22 non-standard colored Lykoi in the world. There are also only seven registered breeders in the world.
Because of their rarity, Lykoi kittens go for more that $2,000. Blue Lykoi kittens start at $1,500, black tuxedo kittens are $1,800, and black roan Lykoi cats cost $2,500. Unfortunately, there are currently no new litters and interested animal lovers will have to sign-up on a waitlist on the Gobbles' website.

Hollywood thrillers get quite a bit right these days. In a post Casino Royale, and Batman Begins world, action movies bring gritty violence, and heroes that audiences can emotionally invest in. However, one area where numerous action franchises tend to fall flat comes in the characterization of their villains.
For all the things it did right -- and that's a long list -- even surprise action hit John Wick failed to include any truly memorable or iconic villains. However, it would appear that the Keanu Reeves-headlined sequel, known simply as John Wick 2 for the time being, might not have that problem.
According to THR, rapper turned surprisingly solid actor (and Oscar-winner) Common has been tapped to portray the film's primary antagonist. Despite a notable scarcity of details regarding the project, the report indicates that Common will portray a female crime lord's head of security. This could seemingly indicate that Common's character will provide the visceral, physical threat while a currently unrevealed big bad pulls the strings.
In many ways the original John Wick spent so much time building its world that it never got around to giving the deadly protagonist a true on screen equal. The film gave him some great acquaintances such as Winston (Ian McShane) and Marcus (Willem Defoe) and some strong minor rivalries like Ms. Perkins (Adrianne Palicki) but ultimately the film's two primary antagonists Viggo and Iosef Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist and Alfie Allen) fell short when compared to the rest of the film's exemplary qualities
If history is anything to go by, the role should be in good hands as Common recently solidified his villainous chops as hitman Price in the Liam Neeson thriller Run All Night. In terms of both raw menace and sheer physicality, Common more than held his own against Neeson -- whose movies similarly tend to focus on the hero and shortchange the villains. Price's calculated, proper demeanor elevated the character above many of the film's more grounded elements -- and much of that hand to do with the way Common handled the role.
That being said, a villain is only as good as the script will allow him or her to be, so at this point it's on screenwriter Derek Kolstad to give Common the material he needs to work with in order to make this villain great.

We'll bring you more information on John Wick 2 as it becomes available.
