I'm beginning to brush up on all things "mathematical poetry." The Kaz Maslanka installation was a smashing success. (And it's so nice to be able to say "smashing success" and really mean it.) I'm excited to see what Kaz brings to the Rhythm of Structure event. And I'm excited at the prospect that Bob Grumman might be coming up from his home in FL. I've only met Bob once before and only briefly. Here is a link to an essay I wrote on Bob's "Mathemaku" poetry, it's entitled:
Notes on Bob Grumman's Mathemaku and on Mathematical Poetry Generally.
That essay will give you an idea of what I think of and of how I construe "mathematical poetry" (as basically a "making permanent of the transitory," which is what I maintain poetry does generally). Soon I'll post some samples of my own "mathematical poetry," along with a brief essay explaining it, and that'll be a sort of preview of the perspective or angle I'll be bringing to my responses to the "Mathematical Graffiti" at the Rhythm of Structure show. And I'll be posting about John Sims, the curator, mastermind and impresario behind this whole thing! So if you're reading this and you're at all interested, stay tuned. . . .
Follow Rhythm of Structure on Facebook and at the Bowery Poetry Club.

US Tax Reform: Impact on Private Equity and M&A Transactions
14th June 2018
George Roberts, Tax Director, Clyde Blowers Capital
As an experienced tax professional, the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act") into law on 22 December 2017, from an early November launch, was quite remarkable. Particularly taking account of the fact the Act revamped large elements of the existing US tax code.
It also resulted in many new tax acronyms to get to grips with e.g. FDII, BEAT, GILTI, the latter being somewhat appropriate given its potential penal nature.
Given how fundamental the changes were they quite rightly received a lot of press. So much in fact, that colleagues outside of the tax team were taking a real interest! The headline grabber was the reduction in the standard rate of Federal Income tax from 35% to 21%, placing the US rate on a par with the UK, lower than countries such as Germany and Japan but still higher than Ireland and Singapore. The immediate reaction was that this can only be good news for portfolio assets which have a US interest. In addition, we were also thinking about the impact on valuations and M&A activity.
Bitter Sweet
The detail of changes is outside the scope of this Article however, below are some of the key changes and an assessment of their potential effect. The headline rate reduction is only one of several changes introduced to boost US competitiveness. Other key changes include:
- Immediate expensing of capital expenditure on property (other than real estate);
- Retention of tax relief for research and development;
- Indefinite carry forward of losses, however offset restricted to 80% of future profits;
- Exemption for overseas dividends where you hold a minimum 10% shareholding;
- A preferential tax rate for foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") – essentially an export credit for US based companies [1]
This all sounds too good to be true. To protect US fiscal interests there are some less welcoming changes:
- Tax deductibility of interest on debt (third party and related) restricted to 30% of tax adjusted EBITDA;
- One time deemed mandatory repatriation of profits of overseas subsidiaries (taxed at 15.5% or 8%). Broadly applies to a US company's proportionate share of net accumulated profits arising post 1986 to their tax year ending in 2017;
- Potential tax liability on payments made by a US corporation to a related foreign person, known as the base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT");
- US tax obligation in relation to certain deemed foreign profits, arising where an overseas group company earns more than a 10% rate of return on their assets 'GILTI' – it is bad news, say no more!
Making Sense of it All
On balance, these changes appear to be good news for US domestic corporations, that are asset intensive and have low financial leverage e.g. heavy investment in US manufacturing facilities, IP held and developed in the US.
However for multinational groups, with a high financially leveraged US presence, significant related party cross-border activity and IP residing outside of the US, the changes will not be so appealing.
For the latter entities, they will no doubt be modelling the impact of US tax reform on their US and global effective tax rates. Based on the analysis it could result in such groups looking to change their operating model to repatriate or shift activities to the US to take the benefit of the reduced Federal rate, immediate expensing of capital expenditure and export credit in the form of FDII. Supply chain decisions are more likely to be focused on factors such as cost, labour skills, regulatory environment rather than tax being a material factor in future decisions. This is because the 'tax cost' of locating or maintaining an activity in a low tax offshore territory, taking into account the new GILTI and BEAT provisions, may now be comparable with undertaking similar activities in the US given the tax benefits referred to above.
What about Private Equity?
Private equity investors will need to re-assess how they finance US businesses. The proposed reduction in tax relief for interest costs on debt could have a significant impact on valuations if there is limited EBITDA capacity in US based companies to absorb the interest cost. Decisions will need to be taken whether to finance future investments with less debt and more equity, which could dilute returns, or alternatively we may see the introduction of more preferred equity structures.
The mandatory repatriation of overseas profits will result in an injection of cash for US based companies, which should increase liquidity for investment in capital assets or to finance acquisitions. This additional liquidity could offer an advantage over buyers with a higher dependency on leverage to drive returns.
The headline reduction in the tax rate could have two further potential consequences that could well stimulate M&A activity:
- Divestments of non-core US assets that were previously prohibitive given the expected US tax cost, may now be viable;
- Targets with non-core US assets may become more attractive, on the basis that it will now be more tax efficient to on-sell these assets at a future point in time.
The restriction on the carry forward of losses is penal and could impact investment in turnaround businesses. If a target business has just moved into losses, will you be able to secure value for these losses on a sale? Previously you could carry back losses to a pre-completion period, but this is no longer an option. Secondly, losses can only be offset against 80% of future profits, not 100%. Both points will impact valuations and negotiations.
What is clear is that the changes are fundamental and anyone with US interests needs to carefully assess the impact of the changes and to decide whether they will present an additional opportunity or a cost, to their investment.
It may be time to drop by your Tax Director's office or meet with your external advisors for a catch-up.
[1]This change introduces a reduced rate of tax (13.125% increasing to 16.406%) on income, which applies when net export sales, services, rental and royalty income exceed a routine return (10%) on certain US based depreciable property.

Jessner Peel: Before & After
Jessner Peel! The Beauty Blogger's "Before & After" Guide to Chemical Peels - Updated 1/13/20
Since posting my Jessner peel photos, detailing the stages of the process, and writing my chemical peel blog review back in 2013, I've had quite a few Jessner peels (my favorite) and TCA peels. However, I've saved a ton of money over the past 6 months by doing my own chemical peels at home.
At my last professional peel, I made a note of the product being used and did some research when I got home. I was able to buy the exact same one, Dermalure Jessner Solution Acid Peel 14%, from Amazon for less than the cost of a single peel. (2/23/19 Update: I've switched to Dermalure 30% TCA Peel for my at-home treatments.)
I also use Dermalure's AHA/BHA Acne Cleanser, which I apply before the Jessner. The product is self-neutralizing, despite what the Amazon listing says, and couldn't be simpler.
Side note: There's currently a 1-star review for the at-home peel that complains, "I had to deal with days upon days of gross peeling and flakey chunks of skin falling off my face (and I have super oily skin). If I happened to laugh really hard on a particular day or take a big bite out of my food, well guess what? The skin around my mouth and cheeks would split apart and I'd have very visible pieces of cracked skin running across my face." As you're about to see from my photos below, THAT'S HOW A PEEL WORKS!
I love the at-home route because the best results are achieved by completing a series of peels, which isn't always feasible when you're working around someone else's schedule. Plus, paying someone else to apply the peels can get pretty expensive, pretty fast! That said...
I'm not sure I'd recommend going the DIY route to a chemical peel newbie, as you're already nervous enough the first time without the added worry of doing it yourself. It's so convenient (and cost-effective!) once you're comfortable with the chemical peel process though. I love being able to spiff up my complexion on my own schedule and from the comfort of my own home.
If you're unsure whether to invest in a peel performed by a beauty professional or attempt to tackle your own, ZenMed sells a Glycolic acid solution that is gentle enough to use daily. It's like a gradual peel, rather that one that will provide instant results. I've used it on and off for about a year. It isn't my favorite ZenMed product, but it's good enough that I'll probably repurchase it when I run out. You can check out my ZenMed reviews to learn if this might be a good choice for you.
Oh, and if you're up for a lighthearted Jessner peel warning (and a laugh), check out A Nightmare Jessner Peel Side Effect. I learned my lesson.
Okay, on to my original blog post:
Considering a chemical peel? I recently underwent my first Jessner peel and thought I'd share my results, post a Jessner peel review, and answer some frequently asked chemical peel questions. (I'm guessing that "Does a chemical peel hurt?" is a biggie!) I'd been planning to order an over-the-counter peel (this one specifically, which I heard of when we were in Iceland. I still haven't tried it but it has great reviews), but my computer led me a different direction.
I decided to do this on a whim after LivingSocial greeted me one morning with a great $40 chemical peel deal.
Now, I can read your mind. You just gasped in horror and thought You trusted your face to a discount chemical peel?! You're wondering where my mother was and why she didn't stop me. But not to worry. Really!
Here is my Jessner peel before and after:
Chemical Peel Before & After
Also known as "EEEK!" and "Oooh, Ahhh"
Not too shabby, right? To be fair, the "before" is extra bad because the Jessner peel had just been done and I'm making my "not sure sharing this on the internet is such a good idea/my skin is ruined" face and my "after" was taken right before leaving for work, about a week and a half after the procedure. These photos are not retouched or Photoshopped, but I am wearing makeup in one and not in the other. Still, it's hard to argue against getting a chemical peel after seeing the results.
I would love to do a few more chemical peels soon (I've read that a series of 6, spaced about a month apart, yields the best results) and have been diligently scouring Groupon and LivingSocial. Maybe some smart Albuquerque dermatologist is reading this Jessner peel review right now, realizing that giving free chemical peels to me in exchange for a sponsored blog post is a super deal that will increase their business (hint, hint, whoever you are!).
Shameless, aren't I? Anyway, I wouldn't say the results after only 1 peel are drastic enough that people are going to stop in their tracks when they see you, but you can definitely see a change when looking up close in a mirror. Your face looks "fresh", which makes sense because a chemical peel works by peeling off all your old skin. It's like an extreme exfoliation, achieving results you can't get from microdermabrasion. In fact, now that I've had a chemical peel, I feel like the few times I've paid for a microdermabrasion (also Groupon!) were a waste of money. The two procedures cost about the same and the results are just not comparable.
Feel free to comment if you have a question I haven't answered. I'm happy to help! Keep in mind, of course, that everything here is my own opinion from my own chemical peel experience. If you have a special medical condition or have had an adverse reaction to a beauty treatment before, I would absolutely check with an expert before undergoing a Jessner chemical peel.
Now, let's get those questions answered!
Now, let's get those questions answered!
Does a chemical peel/Jessner peel hurt?
In my experience, it didn't hurt at all. The sensation was like the slight burn you feel after applying astringent to your face. Maybe a teenie bit more extreme, like if you'd exfoliated before using the astringent. It's not something they're going to start offering at Disneyland, but it's nothing to cry about. I might just be an oddball though. Really, it does seem like brushing acid onto your face would hurt, right?
Before starting, the woman who did my peel insisted that I tell her how much pain I was in. She would apply a little of the Jessner peel solution and have me report on a scale of 1 (fine and dandy) to 10 (want to rip my skin off) how bad my face felt. After the first layer, I told her I was a 2. I actually felt pretty normal, except for the areas around my lips and at the top of my cheeks, which were warm and tingly. She seemed startled by my low number. She fanned cool air onto my skin, which I've read online is standard chemical peel procedure. I didn't feel like it made much difference - it was actually a little bit annoying! The next layer was applied and I was asked to report on the 1 to 10 scale again. I felt the same as before, but the woman had seemed so surprised earlier that I didn't want to admit to it. I told her I was a 2.5.
Ultimately, 3 layers of Jessner peel solution were applied and my pain level maxed out at a 2.75 (which, looking back, surely drove the woman applying my peel completely crazy!) It felt like the skin around my mouth and at the top of my cheeks was hot, which I told the woman as each layer was applied.
Recovering from the peel wasn't particularly bad either. The worst part was that my face felt uncomfortably tight and slightly itchy. It looked like all the moisture had been sucked out of it, leaving a desert of scorched skin. Every little wrinkle and crease was magnified. It felt somewhat like a sunburn. Speaking of which, I'd heard a common chemical peel side effect is that your face becomes bright red for a few days to weeks, but I didn't experience that problem. My skin was red immediately after the peel, but was mostly back to its regular shade within a few hours.
This picture shows the first stage of the Jessner peel process. The circled areas were the most affected by the peel and took the longest time to heal. Since these were the same parts of my face that had been hot/tingly during the procedure, I was concerned that maybe the peel had been too strong in these areas and that I might have permanent scarring or discoloration. The top of my cheeks looked like they had been burned! Everything turned out fine though and, before disappearing, the redness was only noticeable without makeup.
How should I prepare for a chemical peel?
Exfoliate like crazy! I hadn't been sure whether or not to do this beforehand (and, silly me, it never crossed my mind to look it up online or to simply call and ask) so I did a sort of haphazard exfoliation beforehand, with St. Ives Apricot Scrub, unsure whether doing so was harmful or helpful. When I arrived for my peel, I was asked whether I wanted to start with a microdermabrasion to improve the results. I've been kicking myself ever since!
Also, it's good to arrive for your chemical peel with a clean face, free of makeup, and to stock up on sunscreen beforehand. You'll also want to have a gentle moisturizer for later. I checked with the woman who did my peel about whether I should skip my usual moisturizer, which contains retinol, for a week or so afterward. She just about fell over! You must not use retinol right after doing a chemical peel.
How do you do your own Jessner peels at home? (2/27/18 Update)
Using the same product a dermatologist had used on me (this one), I start by exfoliating and cleansing my skin. The exfoliation helps achieve a deeper peel and the cleanser ensures I am starting with a clean face. When my skin is dry, I do the following:
1. Wipe an acne solution onto my face and neck. (This one.) This is a completely optional step. I do it because the company recommended it for my acne-prone skin type.
2. Put vaseline on my lips and around my the bottom of my nostrils to protect these sensitive areas from the Jessner solution.
2. Apply Jessner peel solution to a cotton ball or cotton pad. (Don't overly saturate - I don't want it to be dripping, lest it get in my eyes! I'm not sure what happens if you get Jessner peel in your eyes, but I suspect it's a nightmare.)
3. Wipe the cotton ball/pad over my face, starting with my forehead and working my way down to my neck. There's no need to be gentle on this first layer - a little scrubbing is fine. Wash your hands when you're done, otherwise your palms will feel annoyingly dry. You can do a peel on the back of your hands while you're doing your face, but it's tricky to get the solution on the back while simultaneously keeping it off the front. For the best results on your hands, enlist the help of another person.
4. Stop here or wait 5-10 minutes before repeating step 3. I always apply 3 layers of the Jessner peel solution, which I'm told is the maximum you should do. It's sufficient for my face to frost and to peel.
5. That's it! The product I use is self-neutralizing (I think all Jessner peels are, but double check to be sure if you use a different brand, just to be safe), so there's nothing else to apply and no need to wash it off. Actually, you shouldn't wash it off. The longer you can go without showering or cleaning your face, the better. (Well, up to 24 hours. Don't skip bathing for the next 14 days.) I usually make it about 12 hours.

I usually make it about 12 hours.
Note: Sometimes the stinging/burning feels very mild to me and sometimes it feels unbearable, like my skin is being eaten away by acid. (Probably because it is being eaten away by acid. Fair enough.) To reduce the stinging, it helps to cool my face by standing in front of a fan.
How long does a Jessner peel take?
I was in the office for just over 30 minutes, from the time I walked through the door to the time I left.
You're only 30. Isn't that too young for a chemical peel?
Nope! If you've been reading my blog, you might have seen my posts Who Wants Pretty Skin? I Do! I Do! and I'm in Therapy. The skin on my face apparently hates me and only responds to being beaten into submission and blasted by microscopic laser beams. As a teenager, I hoped (and, to be honest, somewhat expected) that my embarrassing cystic acne would magically disappear on my 18th birthday. Eleven years later, my annoying skin problem continues to flare up about once a month, leaving dark spots that have barely faded by the time the next month's round of acne fun comes along.
Acne is bad enough when you're in high school and everyone else is dealing with the same problem. It's especially awkward as an adult, trying to look professional at work while your boss "helpfully" suggests that your skin would clear right up if you stopped eating chocolate altogether.
Like heck I'm giving up chocolate. You give up your chocolate!
What were the results of your chemical peel?
My pores looked smaller and clean. My face seemed "brighter", like if I'd gotten a good night's sleep. Dark spots from recent breakouts literally peeled off with my old skin, leaving a mostly even skin tone in their place. There is a wrinkle on my forehead that I've had for as long as I can remember. It's still there, of course, but it isn't as deep. An unexpected bonus was that when my next monthly breakout session rolled around, it was barely noticeable. I would love to be able to do regular Jessner peels just to keep my acne under control.
When is the best time to do a chemical peel?
I've heard that women are more sensitive to pain during their period, so if you have a low pain tolerance, you might want to factor that in when trying to decide when to do a chemical peel. Schedule a peel for when you have time away from work and other social commitments. I wouldn't do one with anything less than a 3 day weekend. Although my peel didn't hurt, I was shocked to see my face in the mirror immediately afterward. It was bright red and looked terrible. This is not a lunchtime cosmetic procedure. You also need to avoid getting sweaty for several days after the peel, lest your sweat become trapped between the fresh layer of skin below and the crispy layer above. (Yuck!)
The first time I had a Jessner peel, I actually had 5 days off from work, including the day of the peel. As a bonus, Sexy Nerd just happened to have a business trip scheduled at the same time, meaning he wouldn't have to see me shuffling around our house like the undead. Hooray! Although it seems like everything was timed perfectly, I wish I'd planned things on a different timescale. The peel was done at 3pm on Thursday and I was needed back at work Tuesday. Perfect, right? Wrong! Although I wouldn't have wanted to return to work that same day, my skin actually looked relatively decent on Friday. It was nothing makeup couldn't have covered. The peeling didn't actually begin until Saturday night.
My timing couldn't have been much worse. After a 5 day weekend, the peeling really started to go nuts on Tuesday morning - just in time for me to go to work. It figures, right? Sometimes, it seems like the universe is just being a jerk. I tried to cover my peeling skin with concealer, foundation, and powder (anything I could think of) but it isn't something that can be hidden. And, as the woman who applied the peel made very clear, you must never, ever pick at the peeling skin or you'll risk scarring.
I walked around work all day with giant pieces of skin hanging from my chin, cheeks, and forehead, looking like someone had pressed my face to a cheese grater. Even worse? I kept finding little bits that had fallen off stuck to my shirt and around my desk. It was like the world's worst case of dandruff, but from my face.
The peeling process continues. Sorry, you're just going to have to go to work like this!
(Even worse, this photo is from Sunday, before my peeling got too wild.)
With a chemical peel, timing is everything!

2/5/19 Update: Be sure to check back here in a few weeks. I am currently undergoing Kybella to melt away, or however they magically make it go away, the fat in my hereditary double chin. I've survived the first treatment, which was surprisingly painless (well, painless compared to the horror stories I'd read online) and have just one treatment to go. I'm also trying the Almased diet and will be blogging about the results. After 3 days of a liquid fast, I lost 4 pounds...then promptly gained 5 pounds immediately after moving on to the next stage of the diet! It is not going well.
7/3/19 Update: A blog post about my Kybella experience and an Almased review are both coming soon. Really! I've now completed two Kybella treatments and, although I was initially skeptical, my hereditary double chin actually is gone. And it didn't even hurt! Why doesn't everyone do Kybella?? (Probably because it's overpriced due to shady practitioners - more on this in my review.) As for the Almased? Eh, it's okay. I think there are other diet drink options that work just as well for a much lower cost, including the Vitacost version of Almased called Enersed. I've tried both - detailed review coming soon.

You need to know both the FILE version and PRODUCT version numbers, which are different numbers listed in the file properties. Then go to the main Borderlands 2 page and check your numbers against the version numbers listed there. Sometimes the product version number is listed there, and sometimes the file version number is listed. A little consistency would go a long way.

French artist Laurent Grasso's newest show Portrait of a Young Man at the Bass Museum messes with the idea of time while doing something particularly interesting and important for the place it's housed.
Grasso selected works from the museum's permanent collection of Renaissance and Baroque art and placed it alongside his own works. Portrait of a Young Man displays about a handful of old works, including a compact Rembrandt which hangs just feet away from the artist's own video of birds flying in fascinating and otherworldly formations above the Vatican.
Based on one of Galileo's sketches, he created a new work 1610, transforming a two dimensional drawing into a glowing installation of a neon star constellation.
"For me, it was a chance to be able to play with historical works from the collection," Grasso says. The works play with time and blend together, making connections and placing his work literally amongst those of the masters.
The winner of the 2008 Marcel Duchamp Prize, Grasso is represented by galleries in Paris, New York, and Italy. His work has been displayed all over the world, including at the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou.
"I try to make things readable at different levels. I like that (viewers) have different ways to understand and to see and to like an artwork," he contemplates. "I tried really to give the impression that this object is coming from an older collection, a historical museum collection," he observes. "It's more about time than space today." The paintings in the show give the feeling that they are from the 16th century, for instance.
His art is, he notes, "more of a question than an answer." The visual and conceptual impact is equally important to him.
Upcoming, Grasso will have work up at the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art in 2013 and the Jeu de Paume Paris in May 2012.
Last night's opening coincided with the Bass Museum's monthly first Friday party Beats After Sunset. In honor of Grasso's heritage, the party was Franco-centric, organized by the French-American Chamber of Commerce with the support of the French Consulate in Miami. People enjoyed Foie Gras from creperie and French cafe A La Folie and champagne with their world class artwork.
Portrait of a Young Man will be up for Sleepless Nights and Art Basel in December.

Go From Desert to Red Rocks in Just Two Hours
Day 1 – Scottsdale
Check In
If you're traveling with kids, you'll love Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch. I recommend springing for a one- or two-bedroom parlor suite, depending on the size of your crew. When you're ready to play, there's a lot to keep little ones busy . . . a 2.5-acre waterpark, rock climbing wall, sandy beach and more. Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is a great option if you're sans kiddos, too. There's a separate adults-only pool, sprawling destination spa (more on that later) and an 18-hole golf course next door.
Take advantage of that water playground. Let the kids blow off some steam on the 3-story waterslide, or take turns challenging one another to life-size poolside Jenga or Chess. They'll love swimming their way through the pools, fountains and waterfalls, or digging their teeny toes into the sand. The adults-only pool is much more mellow, so kick back with your buds or beau and a drink or two.
You've got plenty of delicious dining options at the resort; definitely take full advantage. SWB, a southwest bistro is great for all travelers, including families, with its casual wood-fired Southwestern fare. Alto ristorante e bar (Italian) and Noh (Japanese) are more sophisticated and swank (read: go without the kiddos). Center Stage Bar has live music and is the perfect nightcap.
Day 2 – Scottsdale
Book a Sonoran Desert adventure – like a rough-and-tumble TomCar ride – directly through Hyatt Regency Scottsdale's concierge or call up the pros at Arizona Outback Adventures. They'll take you out on half- or full-day trips of paddling, rafting, kayaking, hiking or biking…your choice! If you'd prefer to go your own pace, hiking the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is the way to go for families (Bajada Nature Trail) and more experienced trekkers alike (Tom's Thumb).
Back at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, send the kids (if you've got 'em) to Camp Hyatt for some hands-on learning and then hightail it to Spa Avania for a personalized massage or facial that's synched to the time of day. Speaking of time, give yourself plenty of it to soak in the mineral pool or bask in the sauna or steam shower.
Nothing works up an appetite quite like adventuring and spa-ing. Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is a quick ride to downtown. Tuck into James Beard Finalist Chef Charleen Badman's wholesome American dishes at FnB restaurant or, if you're dining as a family, check out the kid-friendly menus at Hula's Modern Tiki and Brat Haus.
Of course "nightlife" depends on the kind of trip you're on…kids love the old-timey ice cream and treats at Sugar Bowl. Coach House, Rusty Spur Saloon, Second Story Liquor Bar and Maya Day & Nightclub are great options for the grown-up set. Though, that's really only a small taste of Scottsdale's bar scene. Just stroll the streets of downtown and you're bound to find a watering hole that suits your style.
Day 3 – Sedona
Morning & Afternoon
Your ride from Scottsdale up to Red Rock Country will take just about 2 hours, so plan accordingly. Going wine tasting in Verde Valley? Most of the tasting rooms open around noon. Alcantara Vineyards and Page Springs Winery have some of the area's best views and wines, but I also love Javalina Leap. If you've got time, check out some of the "city" tasting rooms in and around the area, including Cellar 433, Chateau Tumbleweed and Four Eight Wineworks.
Check In
Amara Resort and Spa is just down the hill of Sedona's main drag – extremely convenient and one of the best backdrops in town. Wash away the wine brain with a dip in their infinity-edge pool or, if you've still got a craving for vino, you'll be happy to hear there's a free evening wine hour in the lobby.
Whatever you do, don't miss dinner at Saltrock Southwest Kitchen at the resort. Have a little bit of everything and share a couple of apps (grilled corn dressed in a spicy garlic aioli and soft shell crab with a mustard vinaigrette were my favorites!), don't miss the DIY guacamole, and do one each of an order of tacos (I loved the carnitas with pineapple-habanero salsa) and entrée (roasted squash with pickled beats and pepitas = WIN). Of course, you could just simplify the process and opt for the prix fixe menu (3 courses for $45).
There's really no need to leave the property tonight when your sunset comes with a Red Rock backdrop. Amara takes full advantage of its surroundings with a mountain-facing lawn decked in comfy Adirondack chairs and classic lawn games. Grab a West Fork Margarita (jalapeno tequila and agave nectar) from Saltrock and toast to the end of your first day in Sedona.
Day 4 – Sedona
Sedona's West Fork Oak Creek Trail is the most popular hike in the Coconino National Forest for a reason – think whispering pines, babbling brooks and chipper songbirds. It's beautiful no matter the time of year, but fall brings brilliant flashes of red and gold. And when I say hike, I really mean "leisurely walk," because it's a fairly easy trek. If you're looking for a challenge, try either the Upper Bell Rock Trail or The Ascent at Bell Rock, though its Lower Bell Rock Trail is even ground, easy, and has those quintessential Sedona views. That's what we did with our 6-month-old daughter – and we all loved it! Tip: When hiking, be sure to see if a Red Rock Parking Pass is needed to leave your car unattended at the trailhead.
Make a lunch stop at Hideaway House. The sprawling wraparound patio puts you right on top of Oak Creek. The views are just as delicious as the food; post-hike we opted for the massive wine lover's board with sliced Italian meats and cheeses, marinated veggies and tasty spreads, plus some Arizona beer to wash it all down.
Back at Amara, you'll want to kneed away those sore muscles with their signature Butterfly Wrap…a full-body massage that starts with a vanilla sugar scrub and ends in a soft cocoon wrap and scalp massage. The spa brochure says you'll leave feeling transformed. I know it sounds like a marketing gimmick but, trust me it's true. Do yourself this favor!
Two of the best restaurants in Sedona are Elote Café (longtime favorite, kid-friendly) and Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill (new and hot, best enjoyed without kids). Elote takes a creative spin on Mexican classics – lamb adobo and buffalo mole Poblano short ribs, Mariposa takes its inspiration from Chef Lisa Dahl's travels through Argentina, Chile and Uruguay…think shrimp ceviche, steak with chimichurri and mussels topped with chorizo. Finish off the night at The Hudson with an AZ-inspired Moscow Mule (tequila, prickly pear, ginger beer and lime) and, of course, sweeping Sedona views. (Always need a view!)
Day 5 – Scottsdale
On the way back to Scottsdale, plan for a pit stop at Tom's Thumb Fresh Market. No doubt you'll pull into the parking lot and think I've lead you to a gas station. I have; but go inside and you'll find some of the best smoked BBQ in the Southwest.

School's in Session
Amelius on Nov. 26, 2007
Argh, it's still Tuesday! (by just a hair)
I think this may answer a few questions: Kavonn can indeed grow his hair back to its original shape. It was cut in such a weird way because Sadick and LaBelle don't exactly have a razor with them right now…so it was crappily sheared off instead of shaved.
Sorry I haven't updated this in like a week but I didn't have access to the computer and all that wonderful stuff. I have a lot of PQ's I need to get around to answering now that I'm home too…so don't think I'm snubbing you, I just haven't been online! (I'm in a hurry right now as it is though. Why? Because this comic will probably update tomorrow too, thanks to those donations I got! thanks everybody!)
One important request I'll get to right now comes from Ali, who wants to let Chris know she cares about him and really does love him. I hope things work out for the best for you two!

Rob Marshall to Direct Pirates 4?
Obviously, I haven't seen Nine yet, but I can't imagine it would help in generating any excitement for Rob Marshall being touted as helmer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series' fourth instalment.
Having said that, the news of this brings to mind the fact that Gore Verbinski, overseer of the decreasingly good series for the first few goes around, was hardly coming into the series with much on his belt. The Ring remake is, in all fairness, probably the best of the Asian horror remakes we've had hoisted upon us but he did a mighty good job with the first two Pirates films.
Marshall hasn't impressed me yet, although he certainly has an assured technical hand. Movies like Pirates though don't enormously rely on that for their entertainment value. An assured technical hand will just act as part of a cog in a much bigger machine which is managing the effects and action. Where the film may falter under Marshall's control is in the moments between characters and in the storytelling.
Memoirs of a Geisha was never a project for him, or even ripe for a film adaptation, but Chicago showed this exact split in his talents; good at the staging, bad at the characters. What this film will need is a decent script to be good. Although, all that written, the fact is it only really needs Depp, Bloom and Knightley along with some huge sea battles and monsters and, like the other, a healthy ten figures should roll in.

The selection for the competition among Central and Eastern European directors making their debut is based on two criteria: a genuine approach to cinematic means of expression and the quest for self-identity. Only the first or second full-length feature films of the directors take part in the contest. Covering a wide range of themes and means of artistic expression, their films will compete for best film, best director, best actor and best actress awards.
The Last Family masterfully interweaves fiction and reality through the intimate portrait of an artist and his family life, inspired by his documentation. Despite being confined in a suburban apartment, the film conveys the zeitgeist of four decades.
Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov (SLAVA / GLORY)
Grozeva and Valchanov tell us an emotional story with an energetic style and absurd humour, in which the political power abuses an honest worker and consumes the precious life of all its characters.
Marius Repšys (ŠVENTASIS / THE SAINT, director Andrius Blaževičius)
Marius Repšys creates the truthful portrait of a man in midlife crisis partly provoked by his unemployment and partly because of his marital disillusionment, using his own body as an instrument.
Mia Petričević (NE GLEDAJ MI U PIJAT / QUIT STARING AT MY PLATE, director Hana Jušić)
Mia Petričević reflects the dilemma of a young woman torn between traditional values and economical needs of her family, and her own suppressed desire for freedom and love with a perfectly balanced performance.

Now you all know we're a bunch of flower lovers here at J&J HQ so it's no wonder our heads have been turned by the latest collection of lovely by Alex Monroe. The Language Of Flowers collection was inspired by "the Victorian concept of a silent language which could say what was not dared to be spoken".
For centuries Brides and the bereft have chosen to include specific flowers in their bouquets and remembrance sheaves due to their symbolism, yet in recent years the language and meanings have been lost slightly. However with more of us creating highly personal celebrations, perhaps inspired by nostalgia or simply because many don't wish to have their wedding dated by "trends" the language of flowers has begun to become known and prevalent once more…
Blending antique influences with current trends, Alex has created dainty necklaces perfect for layering, tiny stud earrings for multiple piercings, and fine rings to stack high for an opulent impact.
Alex Monroe 'The Language of Flowers' is available in Silver, Yellow Gold Vermeil and Rose Gold Vermeil.
The perfect gift for brides, bridesmaids and loved ones; here are our highlights:
Launched last month, you can view the full collection and stockists on the Alex Monroe website.
I'm more than a little in love with this dainty collection – timelessly elegant!

fireblocking in attic
Sorry, but you're 'situation' isn't grandfathered since you're a NEW owner to the home.
What you're experiencing is not new. Usually, a home needs to be 'updated' (code wise) when ownership is transfered. That's what you're experiencing. As long as the 'last owner' owned the home, it's normal that they don't have to update the house. BUT, when a home is placed for sale, it's usually subjected to a Municipal Inspection. Depending, the 'update' that's being noted may be needed for 1) Condition of Sale, or 2) Occupancy Permit.
Long story short - If your Municipality requires the Fire Block, you're out of luck. (You'll need to check w/a local Municipal Inspector to see under what 'conditions' a Fire Block is required in an attic. If your Home Inspector is saying you need a Fire Block, ... well, he/she's looking after your safety.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

First, play this song in the background while you read. It's Wagner's Tristan and Isolde prelude, and it plays throughout most of Melancholia.
Now, an important question: how do I review the newest Lars von Trier film without giving too much away? Well, I suppose I could start with my very emotional response. I saw Melancholia this past Saturday in Tempe. I attended the film by myself, because I wanted to see the film so badly, I couldn't wait to "make plans" with a friend. I drove across town and sat in a dark theater with the Sour Patch Kids I snuck inside.
I did not cry during the movie at all. I watched it from start to finish, collected my purse at the closing credits, walked to my car, sat down in the driver's seat, and then I started sobbing. Alone in a parking lot in Tempe. I sobbed my face off.
Days later, I'm still not sure why this happened. I don't know why the film elicited such emotion. But I have given the film itself a lot of thought since Saturday, and I must say: it deserves every award it receives and then some, even if it did make me cry.
I have only seen one other film written and directed by eccentric Dane, Lars von Trier, and it was Dancer in the Dark with Björk at the helm. In the case of Dancer in the Dark, I didn't make it to my car; I sobbed for the entire last fifteen minutes of the film. I know this all sounds pointless—seeing movies that make me cry—but in the case of Dancer in the Dark and Melancholia, there's nothing pointless about it. These are films that make me feel. They make me consider the sacrifices people make and, particularly with Melancholia, how occasional depression is not something I suffer alone.
The one sentence synopsis of Melancholia: A crazy chick gets married while a ghostly planet threatens to destroy life on earth. Simple, right? Wrong. It starts with an awkwardly slow montage of images, set above Wagner's prelude (which you're listening to right now, aren't you?). The images don't mean too much at the onset, but they make a lot of sense as the movie progresses. Then, you're tossed into the middle of a dysfunctional family wedding, featuring the awe-inspiring Kirsten Dunst as the bride, Justine. Everything seems peachy, until you begin to realize Justine is, to put it lightly, quite mad.
Or is she? The storyline for Melancholia came from one of von Trier's own therapy sessions, being an extreme depressive himself. His therapist told him that people suffering from depression deal much better with natural disasters and unexpected tragedy, because to them, could things really get any worse? Disaster is almost a relief to a true depressive, which creates the majestic character arc that is Justine's decent into madness and eventual rise to serenity.
The incoming disaster is epitomized in the mystery planet known as "Melancholia." Melancholia is threating to ram Earth, but scientists say, no, it'll go right past. The approach of the planet is almost like a countdown, as you are left to wonder, will the planet hit or won't it? Of course, von Trier uses "Melancholia" as a double entendre: it's a big, blue planet, but it is also the state of living for both Justine and her desperate sister, Claire, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg—seemingly a favorite of von Trier's, as she also appeared in his earlier film, Antichrist.
Claire just wants things to be okay. She wants to keep her family safe and happy, but you can feel her creeping anxiety and depression; you can feel that she's only a couple steps from totally losing it like Justine. But has Justine really lost her marbles? It's not clear until the end of the film.
At its basest, Melancholia is gorgeous. The imagery makes your heart swell. More importantly, Melancholia is an in-your-face, honest study of depression and how it ruins lives. Is it a cheerful film? God, no. Should you see it? Yes. Of course. Just nominate an emotionally stoic friend to drive you home.

As an ASE certified technician, I know what to look for when it comes to finding the right car for you. In addition to pre-purchase inspections, I like to invite my customers to stop by my auto repair show in Pennsylvania to help narrow down the best car for their needs. This way, before you even hit the car lot, you'll know exactly what you want and don't want. I can point you in the right direction during the car buying experience. Car salesman can be aggressive, you need someone you can trust during this process. Your locally owned and operated auto repair and service shop is the best place to get unbiased car buying advice.
Cars That Are LemonsLemons belong in your kitchen, not in your driveway. While an ASE certified mechanic can spot a lemon from a mile away, for the untrained eye it can be a little more challenging. When shopping for a vehicle look for these red flags: rusting, paint chipping, delayed start and wear and tear on tires. If you notice rusting around the base of the vehicle and around the tires, this is a good indicator this car has been submerged in water. Run as fast as flood waters away from this car. I don't care that it has heated leather seats, move on to the next vehicle. Ever since Katrina, there's been a surge of cars of submerged cars on the markets.
This is both illegal and unethical to sell a submerged car on a car lot. Do your research. If the VIN number on the car indicates it spent time in a flood or hurricane zone, stay away. If you don't have access to a computer, your locally owned and operated auto repair shop can help run the VIN number for you. In addition to rusting, you want to pay attention to how a car sounds when turn the ignition key. Does it start up right away or is there a delay? Even the slightest delay will indicate big problems with the transmission. Our ASE certified auto repair mechanics specialize in transmission repair, auto electric and brake repair and will be able to tell you if you have a lemon on your hands.
Once you've picked out the car or truck of your dreams, give your local auto repair mechanic a call to schedule a pre-purchase inspection appointment.
Reliable Auto RepairBecause time is of the essence, a professional and reliable auto repair and service shop will most likely be able to fit you in for an inspection within 24 hours. To complete the third party pre-purchase inspection, a car dealer will allow you to drive your dream truck to your ASE certified mechanic of choice. Once the vehicle is at your locally owned and operated auto repair and service center, it will take about one hour for the entire inspection process.
During this time, your mechanic will run a diagnostics test, a brake exam, check the oil and transmission. A pre-purchase inspection will typically cost you about $50. Once the inspection is complete, your ASE certified mechanic will give you a full report and his or her recommendations. Take this report very seriously. The last thing you want to do is purchase a car in need of a lot of maintenance and repairs. Even if that truck is the perfect color red, you're face will turn the same hue as soon as you break down on the side of the road three days after driving off the car lot.
Before you buy your dream car, buy a pre-purchase inspection from your ASE certified mechanic at John's Service Center in Morrisville, PA. This small step will save you a lot of time and money down the road. Good luck and happy car shopping.

Complaints can arise from waste water trenches overflowing into neighbouring properties. This presents a serious issue for the health of the community. Unpleasant smells like rotten egg gas is another common cause for complaints. Both conditions can cause tension between neighbours and need attending to immediately.
Complaints can also arise due to waste water sprinklers being too close to neighbours. Care should be taken to ensure that sprinklers remain in the land application area (LAA). The LAA must be taken into account when additions and alterations are being considered.
The failure of an on-site sewerage facility (OSF) is often caused by one or a combination of the following:
- overflowing LAA
- odours from the OSF
- blockages i.e. tree roots
- essential bacteria killed by household cleaning chemicals
- damaged structural components
- failed mechanical components, including pumps and blowers
- leaching into groundwater
- failure to meet effluent quality standards
- excessive water use
- lack of system maintenance
- incorrect OSF design or system selection.
If your OSF is failing you need to take action immediately to fix the issue. Failure to do so can result in serious health issues for the community and local waterways.
For a comprehensive guide refer to council's common failures of OSFs fact sheet[470KB].

"Oh my God! Can you hear that? Sounds like a Christmas miracle!"
"That's Orla, doing a jig with some bells strapped to her feet."
"Oh, okay."
[Verse 1]
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need and I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know
You make my wish come true--all I want for Christmas is--
[Verse 2]
Frosty the snowman (haha!)
Frosty the snowman (rah!)
Frosty the snowman was a jolly, happy soul
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made outta coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
And he was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day
[Verse 3]
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow
Snow, snow, oh, oh...
[Verse 4]
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
(War is over, if you want it
War is over now-ow-ow-ow)
War is over, if you want it
War is over now-ow-ow-ow
[Verse 5]
Feliz navidad
Feliz navidad
Yeah, I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart
Ginger bells
Ginger bells
Ginger all the way

The truth of this blog is that the number one post based on stats is about postcard art. I want to give the people what they want and talk more about my apartment.
But my latest project, the chalkboard fireplace, is a Monet, in the Clueless sense of the word. From this distance, everything looks great. But up close, it just didn't work out.
The whole thing was done on two foam core boards, which was my big mistake.
I wanted it to fit exactly in the boarded up fireplace behind it. The fireplace is so big that in order to fully fit I would have needed to piece together a lot more than the two I used. Then, despite all my measuring, I cut it wrong. Finally, the warped a lot when I painted it.
The warping is the major problem. I don't know if a thicker foam core would have solved the problem or not. You can't tell from the pictures, but the fireplace is in really bad shape. What I really should have done was sand it down, spakle all the holes, and repaint the whole thing, painting the chalkboard paint right onto the wall.
The chalkboard part itself works well. I used about one and a half bottles of Martha Stewart Chalkboard Paint from the craft store, and some cheap foam brushes. I don't remember exactly, but I think it's three coats of paint.
I did a little bit of measuring for the arch, but free-handed the bricks, log and fire drawing using Crayola chalk.
The reason I did it this way was because I was weary of taking on a major project when I first moved in. I'm still not sure if I want to actually repaint the fireplace white. I might try black. Or some other pop of color (yellow? blue? thoughts?). Or maybe I should take a cue from Jenna Lyons' townhouse, which I love, and paint the wall surrounding the fireplace dark grey.
I was also didn't want to spend a lot of time making changes I'd need to undo if I moved at the end of the year. I painted in my last place, and then had to repaint back to white when I moved a year and a half later. Now that I've resigned my lease on this apartment for another two years, I'm definitely going to fix the fireplace.

I just read about the Singapore Lokpal Bill in some of the Gtalk, AIM, and YM statuses of my online friends. I don't know what the heck is this bill and I don't have a single clue about it. As what I have read, this bill eliminated corruption in Singapore. 142 corrupt ministers were arrested in a single day after this bill was passed in the year 1982. This bill improved Singapore's economy and boosted its employment rate.

The Picture of Nicole Crowther
I've been searching for the picture of this Glee cast. I can't seem to find any existing picture or image of her online. Hmmmm? Is Nicole Crowther really part of Glee? Or this is just a publicity stunt so that Glee fans will search for her and will wait for the next episode to see if what she leaked is actually true.
She doesn't exist anywhere, she's not even in Wikipedia or any entertainment sites. She's also not included in the list of Glee extras or cast. Geeez… Who is this mystery gir!?!l? Her Twitter account doesn't even exist!
Please share your insights below. If anyone here knows Nicole Crowther, please, oh please, upload her picture online. I'm really curious if she's really part of Glee and what she looks like.

Hey everybody I need your help. I would like to start my own Carpet Cleaning Business but i have to crawl before i walk so I am planning on getting a portable to start off. I cant figure out if the new Mytee Escape Lite vortex is one of the best out there for the money or there are comparable for less. I was planning on getting a 5x8 trailer and keeping it there with a generator. I was told it has the power to do so(150-200feet). Is this set up even proper for the portable or will i have problems with the carpets being wet? Also i baught a used power wand($650) and was going to use it as well. Did i make a mistake and should have gotten the 360i instead? Any suggestions?

Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has said President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and First Lady, Janet Museveni should be blamed for the current problems at Makerere University.
There is a standstill at the institution following the suspension of Dr Deus Kamunyu Muhwezi, the Chairperson Makerere University Academic Staff Association (MUASA), Bennet Magara, the Chairperson Makerere Administrative Staff Association (MASA) and his General Secretary, Joseph Kalema for alleged indiscipline and inciting staff.
The academic and non-teaching staff said they are laying down tools until the suspension of their leaders is rescinded.
The university on December 23, 2018 also announced the expulsion of 32 staff and suspension of 13 others for absconding from duty, failure to complete studies, financial fraud, assault and actions prejudicial to the university image, negligence from duty and insubordination.
These staff have petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga challenging their suspension and calling for a probe of the university management.
FDC spokesperson, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda told journalists on Monday that Museveni is trying to micromanage Makerere University through his wife and other proxies such as Tanga Odoi, Kiwanuka Kiryowa, Bruce Kabasa and Ruhinda North MP Thomas Tayeebwa. These officials are members of the university council.
Dr Tanga Odoi is the chairperson of the NRM Electoral Commission, Kiwanuka Kiryowa an NRM lawyer was elected to the council in December while presence Bruce Kabasa and Thomas Tayeebwa is being contested by Makerere staff. Kabasa was the chairman of the University Council Appointments Board while Tayebwa chaired University Council Finance, Planning and Investment Committee.
But Tanga Odoi, a former MUASA chairperson and currently chairperson of the Makerere University Convocation, a body that brings together staff and alumni of the institution has been vocal, speaking in support of lecturers.
Ssemujju says the First Lady who is also Minister of Education and Sports equally has no qualifications and experience to superintend Uganda's education sector. He says Ugandans should not blame Makerere Vice chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe who could be working on pressure from state agents.
Ssemujju says Makerere is being run like a department in State House. He equated appearance of Museveni and Janet at Makerere's graduation last week to a family party. Speaking during the graduation, Museveni praised Prof Nawangwe for decisively disciplining errant staff.
