Who owns Qwest's headquarters building?
Qwest said Friday that it won't renew the existing lease on its headquarters.
The company, however, would not disclose who owns the building, citing a confidentiality agreement with the owners.
Property records show that the land is owned by Mile High Remainderman Limited and the building, constructed in 1982, is owned by Resources Capital Management.
Remainderman doesn't show up on a search of the Colorado Secretary of State's website. A search for "Resources Capital Management" turns up "CAPITAL MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, LLC." The registered agent for Capital Management Resources is attorney Doug Brown.
Brown didn't return a call late Friday, and I just reached out to him again today to see whether Capital Management Resources is connected to the building at 1801 California St.
Qwest is negotiating a new lease with the owners and appears to want – or need – just roughly half the space it is currently occupying. It would be nice to hear from the other side of the negotiating table.
The existing agreement gives Qwest the rights to the high-profile signage atop the 52-story structure, but requires the company to lease the entire 1.3 million-square-foot building.
What company could displace Qwest as the main tenant in the building and take over perhaps the most prominent display in downtown Denver?
That company wouldn't necessarily need to employ 2,600 in Denver, which is Qwest's current headcount at the building. (At that headcount, Qwest is only using 850,000 square feet of the building, subleasing the rest).
The building's owners could sell the "signage rights." A law firm leased only eight and a half floors of a 52-story building in L.A., but also secured the signage rights, according to this WSJ story from 2002.
Qwest could do something similar, which wouldn't be surprising since it could be expensive to replace the Qwest sign. The WSJ article states that the costs could run in the "mid six figures" to create and put up a new sign for a tower.
But what if a local company like EchoStar or Read more…

The Daytime Emmy Awards are not a very big deal, which is why they're airing on the CW and broadcasting out of the Orpheum instead of the Kodak, but that's not to say the show is without its entertainment value. For instance, Vanessa Williams is hosting and is going to be doing a choreographed dance with Gilles Marini. That's a thing, right? Who doesn't love Vanessa Williams? And if by very small chance you even know who Gilles Marini is, who doesn't have perfectly benign feelings towards him? Also, Sesame Street is getting a lifetime achievement award, and Big Bird and several other Sesame Street characters will be on hand to accept. Sure. All of this is perfectly harmless and minding its own business. Can't hate on that, and True Blood doesn't start until halfway through it anyway. Might as well.
The Daytime Emmy Awards air on the CW tonight at 8 PM.

Teens Under Stress and Pressure: How Can You Help?
Find out what experts say about the simple ways you can bring serenity back to your child's life.
For Amy Scheibe, tolerating meltdowns didn't end after her son, Bo, graduated from toddlerhood. When he was 10 years old, he started having serious fits of screaming and sobbing that he wasn't good enough for his parents. After one particularly bad incident, she and Bo ended up cuddled on the couch, where he finally admitted that he missed the way things used to be. "You don't tickle me anymore," he said. Turns out Bo was simply going through a typical—but stressful—developmental hurdle: the desire to become more independent while still yearning for a little parental hand-holding.
In the years leading up to and during puberty, hormonal surges are a lot like biological fireworks, skyrocketing even little problems into big explosions. And your kid has no idea how to handle them. In fact, research suggests the region of the brain involved in planning, organizing and making decisions—all things that help us cope with stress—is still developing during puberty. That's why we shouldn't expect kids to always have the best judgment or react to pressure well. But they can learn the best way to address and manage it.
Check out these six common tween and teen stressors—submitted from real moms via e-mail and Facebook—and smart ways to overcome them.
Friend Stress
My 13-year-old daughter's group of friends is wealthy. While we're financially comfortable, we can't afford all the expensive stuff that these kids have. My daughter broke down in tears recently when I told her I couldn't get her the Lululemon hoodie the other girls are wearing. What can I do to make her feel less pressured to have material things?
Ask her questions like, "Do you really want someone to like you because of your clothes?" and "What if next week the hoodie is out and leather jackets are in?" You might even share some of your own experiences. She should come to realize you can't use things to keep true friends. But let's face it: "Sometimes kids do need to feel like they're part of the pack," says Dorothy Stubbe, M.D., program director of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center. If you can't buy that hoodie, make your daughter aware that you empathize with her. Try saying, "I know you want to be like your friends, and the hoodie is really cool, but right now it's more than I'm comfortable paying." If you think the hoodie is important—maybe she missed the last trend or is having a particularly bad month—look for it on eBay or at a discount store or site. Or if she has an allowance or a job, let her chip in.
My 12-year-old son has a developmental disability that leads to problems making friends at school. He's being picked on—and therefore is someone to keep away from. I've considered homeschooling, but it would be too difficult. How can I help him fit in more easily?
Start by talking to the student counselor or school psychologist about socialization groups. These can be small, adult-supervised environments, like a special lunch group, where your tween can meet other kids having trouble making friends. Sometimes schools will even pair your child up with an older teen "buddy"—a mentor who may have dealt with similar problems. You can bolster his self-esteem too. Is he good at art? Enroll him in an art class on the weekend. Does he like lending a hand? Talk to his teacher about a job he can do. Encourage the friendships he does have and talk to him about why kids can be cruel. "In my practice, I try to make children understand that the teasing usually has nothing to do with them," says Arden Greenspan, a New York City-based family psychotherapist and author of What Do You Expect? She's a Teenager! "These children may be feeling confused, hurt or angry from a home situation and are just looking for an easy target."
School Stress
The transition from elementary school to middle school has been difficult for my son, who now has multiple teachers. That means numerous projects, often with similar due dates. He's struggling with time management and procrastination. How can I help him handle it all and not feel anxious about what he has to do?
Let's be fair. We moms can barely keep our handbags organized! No surprise then that tweens in the midst of major cognitive development might have trouble keeping track of what's in their bookbags. As long as you've ruled out potential issues like ADHD and the workload doesn't seem unrealistic, try coming up with a game plan together. First, make sure he has a workspace free of distractions. "Usually when I look into these situations, I find that the bedroom is more like a playground," says Michael Brody, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist and author of Seductive Screens: Children's Media—Past, Present and Future. Make sure he has a quiet, uncluttered space (that means no screens or phones on) to work in. "You may also need to adjust your child's schedule, even if that means scaling down extracurriculars," says Dr. Brody. When your child is assigned a project, immediately ask him if he understands what's expected of him and if he requires any special resources (supplies, trips to do research). If he seems unclear, ask him to double-check with his teacher. For big projects, try setting up a time line. For instance, Monday, pick a topic. Tuesday, do an outline. Wednesday, read up and do research. Check out pbskids.org/itsmylife/school/time for tips on managing busy lives from tween and teen mentors, a weekly homework planner and a journal.
My daughter was one of the smartest kids in her middle school. Now that she's in high school, the competition has gotten more intense and she's not the top dog anymore. She compares herself constantly to kids who are doing better and puts herself down when she doesn't get an A. How can my overachiever give herself a break?
"For starters, listen and empathize with your child. Then find out what getting the best grade in the class means to her," says Henry J. Gault, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist and spokesperson for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Does she equate being number one with getting into the right college? If so, point out that colleges are interested in well-rounded people, not just the valedictorian. Once you've figured out her motivation, get her to come up with other ways to feel good about herself. For instance, you might say: "Maybe you didn't get the highest mark, but you did very well—and you had fun researching the subject." Another useful tactic for getting overachievers to lighten up: volunteering to assist kids with disabilities. It takes the focus off them and lets them see kids who are really struggling but still finding happiness.
Family Stress
My kids are coping with the anxiety of a split-parent household: bouncing back and forth between locations, needing to skip school functions on occasion, missing vital school items from their backpacks, having stepparents. How do I make the divorce easier on them?
The more you can pre-plan to ensure they're not missing important events or key materials for class, the better. It helps to have basics like PJs and some essential school supplies at each house. Also create a checklist of the things your child needs daily regardless of whose house they're at (backpack, sports uniform, etc.). You might try sharing an online calendar (check out free programs like Famjama.com, Cozi.com or LivingTree.com) to keep everyone informed of what's going on when. And make sure both homes feel like homes. "Let your kids set up their own rooms," says Greenspan. "Let them decorate the walls and bring in whatever toys and furniture they want." Integrating stepparents and stepsiblings can be tricky, but just give kids time and space without pressuring them to become close. If they are forming bonds with new family members, don't make them feel guilty about it or show jealousy. Ask them how their weekend with Mom or Dad was, and let them get comfortable sharing.
My 12-year-old son is on a basketball team and is often a benchwarmer. He was nudged by my husband into playing, and I can tell he's worried Dad would be disappointed if he quit. Often he's quiet before practices and games and seems sad afterward. What should I do to reassure him or let him know that he doesn't have to play?
Tell your husband what you've noticed—and see if he has too. Then talk about why he thought it was important for your son to be on the team. Maybe it was because he played when he was a kid and loved it. If so, remind him that the operative word here is loved and that your child should get the chance to enjoy something as much as his dad did. Perhaps it was to get exercise (there are lots of other sports to choose from) or overcome shyness (maybe drama or debate club would be a better fit). Then chat with your son to find out how he really feels and what kind of activity he's interested in. "Think of this as an important growth opportunity for your child," says Brody. At this age kids need to learn to make decisions for themselves, and this could be a great step for him.
Secret Signs of Stress
You know what anxiety typically looks like in your kid: moodiness, irritability, sadness, sleeping problems. But here are five signs you might miss.
- Hanging out with new friends who seem troubled
- Nervous mannerisms they didn't have before
- Complaints of headaches or diarrhea
- Skipping meals
- Unexplained marks on the body (signs of cutting, for example)
Pass-Along Stress
Don't transfer your anxiety to your kid. Learn to manage your own tension while teaching your child healthy coping mechanisms. Some simple dos and don'ts:
DON'T... hide your stress. "Letting children know that Mom and Dad have pressure too and that this is how they cope with it normalizes it for them," says Dr. Gault.
DO... model how to unwind. With your kids, set up a calming nighttime routine. Reading is a natural choice, but playing a board game can be a good way for the entire family to decompress together.
DON'T... stay online. Set a time to unplug and stick to it. That means no work e-mails, texting or updating your photos on Facebook after a certain hour on weeknights and on weekends. Being digitally connected all the time can contribute to your own stress and sends the message to your kids that it's okay for them to be continually connected as well.

Behold Dr. Hilary Bart-Smith of the University of Virginia's Mantabot, a silicone-winged machine based on the the cow-nosed ray, an eagle ray found off of North America's Atlantic coast. It may lack the grace of the extraterrestrials from The Abyss, but it's a robotic manta ray — hard to be churlish in that department. Explains UVA of its biomechanical applications:
Bart-Smith's ultimate goal is to engineer a vehicle that would operate autonomously, and could be deployed for long periods of time to collect undersea data for scientists, or as a surveillance tool for the military. It also could be scaled up, or down, to serve as a platform carrying various payloads, such as environmental monitoring instruments. For example, it possibly could be used for pollution monitoring, such as tracking the locations of underwater oil spills.

This is a followup, but not a duplicate, of my first question:
Reinstalling a MacBook Pro w/Lion (10.7.2), when previous owner died, can it be done? What do I need?
I have a MacBook Pro, that is going to be given to a new user. The original owner died, so unfortunately I don't have access to his email account, but, the MBP auto-logs on so I'm on the Mac already.
The MBP will be given to the son of the later father, and I have his Apple account details, so I thought I could log on to the Mac App Store with his account, purchase Lion, and then reinstall.
However, in the Mac App Store, the "purchase" button just says "Installed", because of course Lion is installed on the machine already.
So I have a few questions in that regard:
- Can I reinstall from the recovery partition already on the machine, use the new users Apple account, and then purchase in the Mac App Store afterwards? Or will the installation stop at some point because that account doesn't own Lion and thus won't activate on this machine?
- Can I purchase Lion on the new account somewhere else, through Apple's web site?
- Can I trick the Mac App Store to think Lion is not installed, so that I can purchase it? I remember that when I disabled the Spotlight search engine, the app store was a bit confused about what was installed and what was not...
- Any other solution?

It's finally here! After lots of discussion with my staff, debate and agonizing on my part….I've made the final decisions and here are the Scrapbook Update Top Ten Hot Picks from CHA Summer 2011!
These are the lines that were truly new, that were fresh, that were buzzed about at the show, that were in demand by buyers, and that Scrapbook Update believes consumers are going to be clamoring for in the next few months.
So, in no particular order…let's get started!
Lily Bee Design
Like I mentioned in my previous article about Lily Bee Design from CHA Summer, this company achieved something rare for a show release – an entire batch of new collections that are all home runs. All four of the company's new lines for CHA Summer 2011 are downright usable, an important difference from some lines that are beautiful to look at but difficult to actually execute using.
Memorandum is especially notable because all of the backsides are office paper designs, a theme that has been trendy but that is also becoming something of an industry staple. Paired with classic, elegant vintage designs on the front side, this collection could have a long shelf life.
The other "general purpose" line is called Head Over Heels, and while probably technically intended for the valentine's day market, it can serve as a beautiful vintage look for a wide variety of projects and topics. The color palette is very trendy and the floral design that unites the palette of all the patterns is just beautiful. The line's other patterns include a full range of currently trendy elements: damask, doilies, sheet music, stripes, lace and dots.
Fans of Lily Bee's cardstock alphabet sheets won't be disappointed, as the new releases are accompanied by some beautiful coordinating alphabet options. Of particular note is the floral alphabet option that coordinates with the Head Over Heels line:
The rest of the line's embellishments are just as beautiful, and the 6×6 paper pads will make these patterns – in their scaled down form – indispensible to card makers.
Lily Bee's fall and holiday themed lines (Harvest Market and Jingle) are also extremely versatile (one of Scrapbook Update's favorite words). They will be perfect for everything from layouts to cards and decorations.
Echo Park Paper
No surprise here, because they consistently put out great stuff, but Echo Park Paper just about entirely nailed their CHA Summer 2011 collections as well. They were one of the companies that chose to do two separate holiday themed lines with two very different looks to appeal to a wide range of crafters.
Echo Park is one of the many companies that debuted beautiful brad assortments at CHA Summer 2011 (watch for an article soon from Scrapbook Update on that topic!), and their large assortments coordinating with their holiday collections are sure to please crafters of all kinds of projects.
The Halloween line, Apothecary Emporium, has incredible possibilities as well. These were demonstrated beautifully by the samples in the booth:
Echo Park's mid-cycle release, Victoria Gardens, that is just hitting stores, is full of pastel vintage goodness that will be snapped up by papercrafters for a variety of everyday uses.
My Mind's Eye
How does this company keep putting such massive releases that are so beautiful? Their releases are always among the largest on the show floor and yet rarely contain many items that fall flat. Like Echo Park (mentioned above), My Mind's Eye was another company that decided to cater to the huge Christmas market by introducing two holiday collections, one vintage ("Lost and Found Christmas") and one bright in style ("12 Days of Christmas").
But the real star of the show for My Mind's Eye was Lost and Found Two, the sequel to the stunning Lost and Found collection. Another huge collection like the original, this collection follows beautiful in the style footsteps of the original and is sure to be a hit with consumers.
My Mind's Eye also committed fully to the trend for 6×6 paper pads in the papercrafts market, introducing a collection called Six by Six that consists of twelve paper pads exclusively avaiable in the 6×6 size.
Basically Bare
New exhibitor Basically Bare specializes in producing die cut items from chipboard, acrylic and corrugated material that can be used in all types of papercrafts and mixed media projects. Their booth was absolutely packed when I visited it on Thursday.
While the concept of their products is simple (and not completely new), the scale of their products is larger than competitors and well-suited to the new mixed media projects that are becoming increasingly popular. Also, corrugated cardboard is becoming quite trendy due to the rise of mixed media and they offer a wide range of corrugated, including mini albums sure to be popular with consumers looking for a different type of surface to experiment with.
Bella Blvd – "Making The Team" collection
Sometimes, I hear so much about a single collection from a company that it warrants its own spot on the Hot Picks list. "Making The Team" from Bella Blvd was just such a collection at CHA Summer 2011. It invariably seemed to come up when I asked anyone what they had seen so far at the show that excited them. The big excitement seemed to be that "Making The Team" is a sports collection that is unisex, great for making projects for boys or girls, and that it is flexible across a lot of sports as well.
Why all the excitement about a themed line? As much attention as is paid to the non-themed trends such as vintage, a sizable segment of the scrapbook market still creates in a heavily themed way. A line like "Making the Team" that seems to instantly speak to scrapbookers as filling a niche they've been missing will find a large market easily.
Amy Tan for American Crafts
This line was heavily buzzed about at the show by attendees excited to see it debut. American Crafts has had huge success previously with a signature line from Liz Kartchner called "Dear Lizzie", and it looks like history is about to repeat itself with the introduction of Amy Tan's "Amy Tangerine" signature line.
"Amy Tangerine" is a perfect fit for American Crafts' fun, graphic style, and Amy Tan brings an avid fan base to the table both within and outside the crafts industry that will move her product in stores.
One of the most heavily buzzed-about items in the Amy Tangerine collection was the new mixtape (already a popular item for American Crafts) designs that accompany it.
Studio Calico
This company has fast become an industry powerhouse since debuting as a wholesale company at CHA Winter 2010. This may be the most solid release yet from Studio Calico, anchored by the Classic Calico line of neutral brown basics that are sure to have a long shelf life and be used – and reused – by crafters of all kinds.
It wasn't just Classic Calico getting the buzz, however. Show attendees seemed just as enamored with "Memoir" and "Autumn Press". These collections will be pleasing to fans of both the vintage and graphic styles that seem to be dueling for dominance in the industry at the moment – which is perhaps the ultimate secret of Studio Calico's success.
The accompanying embellishments are what Studio Calico has been known for since their kit club days – their signature twist on graphic, making it somehow elegant and even somehow vintage. Their new partnership with Hero Arts has brought rubber stamps into the collection, and they continue to produce embellishments that are simple but have impact (like the wood items from previous shows). This time around it is die cut kraft stickers, labels, and beautiful alphabets getting all the buzz. Well, almost all the buzz – the company's new 6×6 paper pads were crowd favorites as well.
October Afternoon
Their heavily western-themed booth made a statement on the show floor, and October Afternoon's collections made an impression on show attendees as well.
The western-themed line "Sasparilla" charmed many attendees, and stood out among the heavy crop of Halloween and Christmas products that populated the show. Despite the line's seeming to have heavy theming, all of the patterned papers have at least one side that is actually usable for a wide range of generic topics, making the line versatile for both retailers and consumers while still providing some fun.
Very different from "Sasparilla" but still in October Afternoon's signature style was "Sidewalks" – a beautiful, bright and happy line for scrapping children and back-to-school.
One heavily buzzed-about product at October Afternoon was the Sprinklers. In a market saturated with spray ink products, their products are attracting a lot of attention for both their color palette and their pigment ink formulation.
The Crafter's Workshop
As papercrafters are experimenting more with mixed media techniques, their interest in products like templates to use with mediums like inks and paints has grown significantly. The Crafter's Workshop has quickly become the industry's template of choice, and at CHA Summer 2011 they added a strong new pull to their catalog – designs by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer.
Balzer (seen above using her incredible talent for teaching in The Crafter's Workshop booth) brings an artsy, offbeat design aesthetic to a product that could otherwise be staid and boring. Through her template designs, she is bringing a new dimension of style to the papercrafting world – one that seems to be being well-received, and which may open the industry to a whole new market of crafters.
Jillibean Soup
And last, but not least…there's Jillibean Soup! This is yet another company that consistently turns out good, reliable product lines that both consumers and retailers can come back to time and again.
Their holiday line "Christmas Eve Chowder" contained a popular icon for this show: Penguins. We predict that the bright, colorful line will be popular in both its full-size version and in the 6×6 paper pad version for making cards and other small holiday projects.
Jillibean also previewed another holiday line that was heavily buzzed about – for Valentine's Day. "Hearty Barley Soup", with a palette of pink and red and white on a kraft background, was a heavy favorite of show attendees.
The company's several other lines, all in bright colors, were also buzzed-about heavily at the show as crowd favorites for various seasons. Jillibean released lines that spanned summer to Valentine's Day – a wide range of options to choose from.
But perhaps above all, the star of Jillibean's introductions was their embellishments. They made a small, important change to their paper embellishments (cardstock alphabets and stickers) – they are now printed on matte finish paper for ease of writing on, inking, distressing, etc. The company's button assortments are beautiful, and along with their soup label sheets, are sure to be popular with the growing market of card makers in the industry.
So…there they are…the Scrapbook Update CHA Summer 2011 Hot Picks list! It was a difficult decision, and there were many successful companies and products that didn't make the list since we can only pick ten. But we believe that these are the true standouts in the crowd…and we can't wait to see what they and everyone else will bring to Anaheim in January 2012!

The Fit Expert
Victor from our Vancouver (Granville) store says:
The leather softens very nicely, especially across the width.
Feeling the need for a hip and casual unisex ankle boot, John created The Malcolm. Goodyear welted using soft, robust Mexican leathers on a rounded toe shape, leather soles with injected rubber inserts, oversized zippers, and raw canvas piping, The Malcolm Boot has a worn and pre-aged effect while creating the perfect everyday boot. Living to change the world.

Victor from our Vancouver (Granville) store says:
The leather softens very nicely, especially across the width.
Luckily, I was right. Or wrong. Whatever.
Initially, they felt tight, but after wearing them for about thirty minutes on and off around the house, that went away. The leather smells amazing - so classy. My favourite part overall though, is the slouchy shaft. I have tragic calves, you see, and boots have always been problematic. Ankle boots were a toss-up, but anything beyond that was an exercise in self-deprecation and sadness. I ordered a size 10, since I'm usually in the 9-10 range for closed shoes and everything's been gravy.
No Kidding - The Perfect Everyday Boot!
They do have a leather bottom. I live in the Pacific Northwest so a rubber sole is a must - easily done at a cobbler for $35 in one afternoon! I can wear them with thin socks, thick wool socks, what-have-you, and they still form so comfortably to my feet. I've been wearing them with the zipper half down so that they flare a bit and they don't slip at the heel at all. I heart them to the moon and back. Thanks, Fluevog, for making my Christmas!

How can I easily measure the volume of my bread as it rises? I usually eyeball it or test for feel, but this isn't very accurate, and definitely isn't getting the full rising potential out of it.
Proofing buckets seem like one possibility, but I don't want to buy a large uni-task kitchen item if possible. I'm also not sure what volumes to expect from a pound of dough.

What are Bitcoins?
Bitcoins are a new type of money – a 'digital currency' that is being increasingly used all over the world. Unlike traditional money that is printed or minted in industrial facilities, bitcoins are created by lots of people around the world running computers, using open-source software that solves complex mathematical problems. Bitcoins are the first example of a category of money called cryptocurrency where the production, transactions and issuing of the money is carried out collectively by the network of people that use it. Bitcoins are created by the people, for the people.

Bankrupt Coal Company Imposes Wage and Benefit Cuts
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A bankrupt coal producer says it has imposed wage and benefit cuts affecting thousands of its workers, but that the pullbacks are less severe than those authorized by a judge.
But St. Louis-based Patriot Coal Corp. added Tuesday that it will keep retiree health care benefits unchanged for the next two months.
Patriot didn't detail the cuts it has adopted, more than a month after a bankruptcy judge empowered Patriot to abandon its collective-bargaining agreements.
Patriot says its continued bargaining with the United Mine Workers of America union has produced "substantial progress."
A spokesman for the union isn't talking publicly about Patriot's cuts imposed Monday, saying only that the union is still meeting with the company to make further improvements over the bankruptcy court's order.

Student project-turned-commercial release The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom has arrived on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and boy is it stunning. "Stunning" really is the only way to sum it up. There is no other description that applies: it's simple, it's sweet, it's strange, and it never stops being fun.
The story stars P.B. Winterbottom, a man obsessed with consuming delicious pies in his weird steampunk city. Always on the lookout for pies to steal, Winterbottom wakes up one night and finds himself with the ability to manipulate space and time. Whereas you or I might be tempted to use these abilities to fight crime or become insanely wealthy, our hero instead summons clones to help him steal pies away from hungry children.
Yes, it's strange. But it's also fun, engrossing, challenging, and very addictive to play. The idea is that you press and hold the right trigger when you need your actions recorded. After the recording stops, a clone running in an endless time loop will perform the recorded actions until you stop him. Initially, puzzles require clones to hit switches while the original Winterbottom runs around the level and collects pies, but the game quickly grows insanely challenging.
Aside from the delightful and maddening play, the game's production values are wonderful. Winterbottom himself looks like a cross between Snidely Whiplash and a bipedal rat, but it's actually the game world that will steal the show. Playing The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is like running through a living, breathing, Edward Gorey illustration. Not only that, but the game's music is simultaneously creepy and whimsical, and will hopefully be released for download soon.
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is easily one of the most original and entertaining games to hit Xbox Live in a long while. There are passing similarities to Portal and Braid here, but the game is unique enough to survive comparisons and stand on its own. It's a puzzle game, true, but this is one of those rare gems that will be treasured by anyone who's a fan of good video games, period.

yes i have some blog ill share it when i finish it :)
I had experience it but I always overcome it like temptation but in reality it make me disturb but it came to end when she confess to me that she had the same feelings.
@ Junior Heather Find someone else!
Well, I've never really told anyone my feelings. Oh yeah, My crazy friends but they don't give a damn and I need somebody that I could really talk to. They all seem to have girlfriends and I feel left out so yeah. Okay, Well just about a year ago was it the first time I've actually had a crush. Not only was she my crush, but the girl I really loved and want to spend my whole life with her. She is Gorgeous, Beautiful, Got a Pretty Face (That she could catch me staring at all day, LOL!!!), A real good personality (Which is the reason why she has alot of friends) and the most sexiest body I have ever had to stare at more than 15mins. I know, what a purve but she is everything I look for in a girl. I first met her at the Hospital after someone we both knew, had an accident. The moment I saw her felt like the hospital was heaven. She made me forget about the fact that I hated going to the hospital because of my fears of being close to dead or dying people. We made eye contact which was awkward. I really felt like running outta the room but I didn't wanna show her that I was a pussy, hhahaha. But eventually I got over just staring at her so I walked over and asked what her name was, and we starting having a convo, which was really nerve-racking. Getting dizzy, almost like I wanna faint. From then on, I've kept a static image of her pretty face in my head. I even added her on facebook. We became friends and everytime we were online(via facebook) I would wish she chatted to me and what do you know, she read my mind. She sent a message and we started chatting. It always made me happy to keep in touch with her since the hospital. About last holidays, she came back home(her country) and asked for my number and soon she started texting me. She almost texted me right up until the day she went back overseas. I kinda started thinking that maybe she/we were having a thing, I really thought, in result of the chats over facebook, asking for my number and the texting. Until just recently when she came back, I hadn't seen her for more than 3 weeks. I just couldn't wait to see her face again, just to get over my infatuated feelings. To my surprise, I found out she had a boyfriend, to explain how guttered I was, I started pouring my eyes out like we were dating and she cheated on me but no! That was just how much I really liked her. =( I was at a party next to the beach and there were fireworks and stuff to make it fun. I then spotted her and was really happy so I was just about to walk over to her but she then moved to a guy and started holding him, I had forgotten about the whole boyfriend thingy and got really pissed which killed my BUZZ. It was New Years Eve and I felt really depressed inside. We kept eye contact and stuff but I tried hard to avoid her and try to have fun but instead I was thinking of her. I was sooooo pissed off that I wasn't enjoying the night with my mates. The countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....It's New Years. It was fun, everyone saying HAPPY NEW YEAR then, someone hits me on the back, "Happy New Year" as I turned, it was her, my secret admire. I kissed and hugged her and whispered in her ear, HAPPY BIRTHDAY .....Oh, not to mension but she was born on New Years Day. I couldn't take it so I took off after our little meet, I couldn't bear to watch her and the guy to make out so I GAPPED IT, told my friends I have curfew (What Lies), trying to deny those feelings inside and went home tearing my eyes. Since then I've been slow, angry, quiet and sad. All that just for that one girl. I've never been this crazy for anyone before and I just can't get over it. I try to forget about her but she is still there. I have mixed feelings at the moment and I need advice or help, anything will be good.......Should I give up on her and move on? or should I hold on to my feelings and hope that she will realise someone sooooo AWESOME, is waiting. What do you think? I am desperate.
(It's a relief to let it out, finally!)
Guys check out this blog name http:/lovelearners.blogspot.com. post your love stories to get the real reply...

Hold Onto Your Hats, Bats: Winter Walk
Phew. I was just about to scribble some rot about the release of free challenge maps for Arkham City, which are only downloadable through Games For Windows Live. As I was staring at the error message that greeted my attempt to install them, a tweet landed 'pon my shoulder and whispered in my ear: "Why all this effort to clobber villains at the Jokers Carnival, and in the Iceberg VIP Lounge and Batcave? Even if you were doing it using the free Batman Incorporated skin it'd just be fisticuffs. Better to take a top-hatted stroll in the snow."
By jove, what a grand idea that was. You can watch a slightly interactive documentary of my turn around the environs thanks to Winter Walk, which is as pleasant a way to while away a few minutes as you'll find today. Thanks to Dan Marshall (@danthat).

Frequently Asked Questions
Example Question 1
Astronomers face an embarrassing conundrum: they don't know what 95% of the universe is made of. Atoms, which form everything we see around us, only account for a measly 5%. Over the past 80 years it has become clear that the substantial remainder is comprised of two shadowy entities – dark matter and dark energy. The former, first discovered in 1933, acts as an invisible glue, binding galaxies and galaxy clusters together. Unveiled in 1998, the latter is pushing the universe's expansion to ever greater speeds. Astronomers are closing in on the true identities of these unseen interlopers.

Michele Nicoletta: 'No Gender on the Trading Floor'
A woman on the trading floor was rare at Lehman Brothers, but former senior vice president, Michele Nicoletta, says it was no problem. She's now moved on to direct a real-estate investment services company.

TROY, N.Y. – The fifth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team suffered a 3-2 loss on the road to Renssealer Friday evening at Houston Field House. Kate Buesser and Kaitlin Spurling each netted goals, while Laura Bellamy made 30 saves for the Crimson, which moves to 16-6-4 overall and 11-6-2 in ECAC Hockey action.
Harvard earned a 5-on-3 chance late in the first period, as Rensselaer (13-11-6, 10-5-4) was whistled for a tripping penalty at 14:24 and a slashing penalty only 32 seconds later. The Crimson could not convert on the initial power play, but scored on the 5-on-4 opportunity, as Buesser lifted a shot over Sonja van der Bliek's shoulder at 16:45. Kathryn Farni collected an assist on the goal, Buesser's team-leading 12th tally of the season.
In the second, Harvard killed four power plays for the Engineers, as Bellamy stopped all 13 shots she faced in the frame. Through two periods, RPI had a 25-14 edge in shots on goal, and led in wins at the faceoff circle, 20-12.
At 2:22 of the third period, Spurling gave Harvard a two-goal cushion, as she one-timed a pass from Ashley Wheeler just to the right of the crease. Wheeler had gained control of the puck in the neutral zone and skated down the left side of the ice before sending the puck through a defender and onto Spurling's stick. Later in the third, the Engineers got on the scoreboard as a wrist shot by Amanda Castignetti from the point beat Bellamy at 11:19, cutting Harvard's lead in half, 2-1. With 35 seconds remaining in regulation, RPI netted its second goal of the game, coming on an unassisted tally by Alliston Wright, sending the game to overtime.
In the extra session, RPI's Alisa Harrison made a clean pass to Wright, who fired a shot just underneath the cross bar for the game winner at 4:41.
Harvard will make a short trip to Schenectady, N.Y., to face Union Saturday at 4 p.m.

Barbados is an island of the Caribbean, and is one of the favourite destinations for Caribbean tourists. As such, there are some good options for holiday rentals with Barbados villas and beach-side apartments. In addition to this, such holiday apartments and villas can be as little as £350 a week. So, Barbados villas are a good accommodation option.
Barbados is renowned for its world-class beaches and beach resorts. It has a number of Sun-saturated, palm laden, beaches which are open to the public. Among the more notable Barbados beaches include Crane Beach and Sandy Lane Beach. Barbados beach-side apartments and villas will also put you to within walking distance of the Sun, sea, and sand! Beaches such as these are great for water sports such as surfing and boating. Barbados has some of the finest coral reeves, and so the seas are also great for snorkeling and diving. Barbados is also a great destination for golf. Among the more notable golf courses and resorts include the championship course of Barbados Golf Club, while the famous Old Nine course at Sandy Lane is a 9-hole alternative. Some Barbados holiday apartments, such as Rockley Apartments, offer free golf at their club for those renting Rockley apartments.
Family villas in Barbados can provide more cost effective accommodation. Such villas include fully equipped kitchens, laundries, and additional villa services such as domestic and staff guides. These villas can be spacious, and provide greater flexibility for family holidays. Overall, Barbados has plenty for family holidays such as Folkstone Marine Park with its aquarium and artificial reefs, and Atlantis submarines which provide undersea tours of the Barbados coral reefs.
Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados. As such, it is well worth visiting Bridgetown where you will find Harrison's Cave, which has has guided tours. On the west coast of Bridgetown is a number of beaches and resorts known as the Platinum Coast, which also has holiday rental villas and apartments. Historic sites include Barbados Museum and Arlington House. Barbados is also famed for its Rum, and Rum distilleries such as Mount Gay Rum at St James Parish are open to visitors and are well worth a trip.

48 North J/120 Review
By Paul Bieker
The J/120--- it's a well rounded interpretation of a truly wholesome racer/cruiser. The J/120 is the new 40 foot racer/cruiser from the Johnstone clan. My only previous experience with any of the Johnstone boats was in a J/24 about four years ago and other than that I've formed my vague opinions of the boats based on pictures in the press and views from aboard other boats. Needless to say, I was pleased to have the opportunity to learn a little more about the newest member in a line of boats which has created such a solid niche in the performance production boat market.
I've seen the new J/120 on the water on several occasions during the spring keelboat racing on the Sound and have been impressed by her solid performance: winning first in class and first overall in Possession Point and placing in the top three in class in most of the other long distance races in which she was entered. I was told by friends that the boat was a racer/cruiser, however I was seeing upwind performance similar to that of an IMS forty foot racer! Downwind she has displayed performance that would easily allow her to sail away from a typical IMS 40 . I also noticed that her good performance was not limited to any specific range of wind strengths. The boat seemed to move well in both heavy and light conditions. What's more, the J/120 was doing all this with a crew of six or seven rather than the customary ten to twelve people that you would expect to see on a boat this size. The reason for this is that the boat was designed with enough stability to carry her sail plan comfortably without a bunch of living ballast on the rail and you don't need a lot of crew to handle the asymmetrical spinnaker in maneuvers. Seeing all this performance, I figured that the J/120 must be as much of a dual purpose racer/cruiser as the J/24s I used to sail. I was wrong.
Stepping aboard the boat I was immediately impressed with a deck layout which showed that obvious attention that has been given to cruising comfort. Having spent a good portion of my life on extended cruises, I know that cruising comfort is determined as much by the little details as it is by the general configuration of the boat. Here I was seeing a comfortable, uncluttered cockpit with a coaming sufficient to keep the helmsman's bottom out of the salt water in most conditions, but small enough to allow him to sit outboard when he wishes. There are molded-in coamings for a good sized cruising dodger. The rigging is simple and clean, with most lines led to winches on either side of the companionway. The pulpits, gates and lifelines look stout enough to handle offshore service. Lazarettes (yes that's plural) provide plenty of deck gear stowage. However, this deck layout also looks like it would work well in a racing situation. The main sheet is double ended with a winch on either side of the cockpit so that the mainsheet trimmer can sit outboard. With a large 48" wheel, this means that the helmsman and mainsheet trimmer sit side by side upwind, the best arrangement for efficient sailing. My only negative comments regarding the deck layout is that those nice lazarette hatches don't seem very weathertight and there are no dorades to provide ventilation while out at sea or in port on a rainy day.
The hull shape of the boat strikes me as being surprisingly moderate. In general, I would describe the boat as somewhat beamy, with powerful, broad sections. What struck me most about the hull was the fullness of the bow. It is startling when standing on the foredeck. This is not a typical fine, point upwind, death roll downwind style racer/cruiser bow! This is a broad bow that should allow the boat to be driven hard on reaches and in heavy air downwind, especially in the big waves offshore. Combine this forgiving hull shape with a D/L ratio of 134 and a SA/D ratio of 22.7, and you have a boat that should provide a not-too-scary giggle fest for her crew downwind in a breeze! The only negative aspect to this hull shape will be racing upwind in a chop.
She will probably be a bit slower than a more fine bowed craft in this condition, however she will be drier and more seaworthy in extreme conditions.
The general construction of the boat is typical J/boat: fiberglass skins with a balsa core. However, the layup is done with the resin infusion process, basically meaning that the boat is layed up dry, vacuum bagged, and then the resin is injected into the laminate in a carefully controlled procedure. This process should give lightweight, strong, and uniform laminates.
The rig on the boat I reviewed was a carbon mast from Hall spars. The level of finish on the rig was beautiful and it has been given slightly swept back spreaders to make the mast less prone to pumping fore and aft. I suspect that the running backstays provided are not necessary in anything but rough seas upwind. The down side to the swept back spreaders is that while making the mast less prone to pumping it also makes the mast bend less adjustable than in rigs with in-line spreaders. This limits the ability of the crew to vary the draft of the main to suit different sailing conditions. The only thing about the rig that bothered me was that the section looks too stiff for the boat, meaning that the mast bend is even less adjustable than it might otherwise have been. The carbon mast is 120 pounds lighter than the aluminum mast that comes standard with the boat. Taking 120 pounds out of the rig on this boat probably increases the stability about as much as putting 700 more pounds in the keel, one of the reasons why this boat can sail fast without using crew for ballast.
Down below the J/120 is straightforward and very nicely appointed. There has been a refreshing restraint from what I call Eurostyle miniaturization. There is one nicely detailed head near the mast, with a molded easy to clean liner. There are two staterooms, one forward and one aft, both with enough space to dress and undress without having to squirm on the bunk like a landed fish. The owner's stateroom forward has its own door into the head, has room for two people to move around at once, and a seat for sitting down and reading when somebody needs some time to themselves during a cruise. The galley is in what I believe is the proper location, within arms reach of the companionway. It has plenty of places to brace oneself out at sea, and a moderate amount of stowage. Just aft of the galley is my favorite thing about the interior. The area aft of the galley has been left open and is easily accessible from the galley, providing a great pantry and stowage area for longer trips. Lesser designers would have packed an awkward quarter berth in that space. The access provided for working on the 38hp Yanmar diesel is very good. The fuel capacity of 22.7 gallons and the water capacity of 75 gallons are what I would consider just adequate for coastal cruising. Additional tanks and/or a watermaker would have to be added for longer cruises. Opposite the galley is a modestly sized navigation station.
The base price for the J/120 is $163,000 which seems reasonable for the level of quality of the design and construction apparent in the boat. However, a fully equipped package for cruising and racing (with the carbon rig) will cost closer to $230,000. One nice thing about the boat is that the racer/cruiser J-boats have a reputation for holding their resale value over time, so you can tell your spouse that its an investment!
Looking at the boat as a whole, I think it represents a well rounded interpretation of a truly wholesome racer/cruiser. It's fast, it's easy to sail, and it's comfortable. It looks to me like Rod Johnstone has done a bit of cruising since he first started designing his J/boats.
