This week while avoiding the annual business tax preparation for the accountant I proved something I already knew, analog photography is not necessarily the "slow" process most people think it is. I have been for the last year or so been working on my project Last Days of Summer,
---4x5 silver gelatin contact prints inspired by watching natures continuous cycle of death and rejuvenation from my thousands of miles spent on my bike each season. This series, documents natures transition from lush green, to pale earth tones which fulfills the seasonal cycle ensuring life will move on.---
and collected this dead sunflower this fall with intention of shooting it. As the fall turned into winter and time slipped away until Monday of this week, when I grabbed the sunflower and started the shoot. I continued with the same set up as every other plant in the series, first set up, shoot and then process the film. After pulling the 4x5 film from the final wash before drying I checked it out against a light to make sure everything was good and there were not issues from development.
After the film is dry and put in archival sleeves I then take a cell phone picture of the negative on the light box. I can then make a quick inversion on lightroom mobile app so I can have a quick down and dirty contact print of the image of how it will look printed.
So now the following day after doing some office work, I headed down to the darkroom to make my final prints. This series are all contact prints, this is where you lay the physical piece of film directly onto the fiber based paper for the final print. Here I am using Ilfords warm tone multi-grade glossy fiber base paper in 8x10" size. I preform a series of test to determine the proper time of exposure as well as contrast that will create the final image along with any dodging or burning needed. In this case the actual flower head itself needed about 20% less exposure then the rest of the print.
Once that was settled I always make a series of two or three identical prints so I always have copies of each.
After I am satisfied with my prints they are then put into a archival washer for one hour to ensure all chemicals are flushed from the prints making the images able to last for well over 100 years in any light source with out fading. Once that is done they are hung to dry over night and ready for the final steps of flattening. To flatten is use dry mount press for 2 mins at 200 degrees fahrenheit, a dry mount press is just a gigantic heated press that applies pressure while set at a temperature of your choice. From there all I have to do is spot and sign the print and its ready. So all in all the whole process was from start to finish less then 3 days, not bad at all if I say so myself.
please visit the gallery to so all the images from the series as well as the print store where the original silver gelatin prints are for sale.

The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Volume 5 by Abraham Lincoln
Realization That Debates Must Be Saved, to C. H. Ray.
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 20, 1858
MY DEAR SIR:--I wish to preserve a set of the late debates (if they may be called so), between Douglas and myself. To enable me to do so, please get two copies of each number of your paper containing the whole, and send them to me by express; and I will pay you for the papers and for your trouble. I wish the two sets in order to lay one away in the [undecipherable word] and to put the other in a scrapbook. Remember, if part of any debate is on both sides of the sheet it will take two sets to make one scrap-book.
I believe, according to a letter of yours to Hatch, you are "feeling like h-ll yet." Quit that--you will soon feel better. Another "blow up" is coming; and we shall have fun again. Douglas managed to be supported both as the best instrument to down and to uphold the slave power; but no ingenuity can long keep the antagonism in harmony.
Yours as ever,

Our History
Hugo Schwope founded H.W. Schwope & Sons soon after returning home from WWII. His four sons and he began with a homemade "cable-tool" that operated with a pulley and winch system that "pounded" the drill bit into the ground. This was a very labor intense process. In the early 1970s, he invested in his first two Ingersoll-Rand rotary-rigs. This allowed the business to significantly reduce costs, and time involved in drilling.
Since then, Schwope Drilling has become known as the premier Water Well Drilling & Service company serving Kendall and surrounding counties. We now operate three rotary drilling rigs and five service trucks. We offer the best products on the market to ensure once we install your system, you won't have to see us again for a number of years. Warranties are available for a majority of our products.
John, George, Jimmy and Larry are actively involved in all well drilling and service issues. Combined, they offer over 160 years of experience. Schwope Drilling operates all over the Hill Country and no job is too big or too complex!

Most Charlotte residents have battled their own personal struggles. While some have to cope with loss or addiction, others have faced adversity imposed upon them by outside forces. One of the most misunderstood issues that a person may suffer from is depression because it is not something that others can see or necessarily understand.
What if your rheumatoid arthritis keeps you from working?
North Carolina readers know that certain medical conditions could keep them from working, which means they could qualify for disability benefits. However, it is beneficial to remember that this is also the case for individuals who are suffering from internal conditions with few outside symptoms or non-fatal, but serious, medical conditions.
What rights to SSI recipients and applicants possess?
One reason that some North Carolina residents may put off applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) from the Social Security Administration is their fear that they may not be eligible for such assistance from the federal government. They may not fully understand the requirements that a person must satisfy to receive SSI assistance. However, consultation with a disability benefits attorney can help them assuage this and other concerns.
Can I get disability benefits after a concussion?
Every year thousands of Americans suffer injuries to their brains when they are involved in accidents and incidents such as falls, vehicle collisions and work-related traumas. While some brain injuries will resolve themselves and will allow Charlotte residents to go back to living their normal lives, others can have devastating and long-lasting effects. This post will discuss traumatic brain injuries and how they may qualify someone for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.
Age and work credits may impact disability benefits award
If a Charlotte resident cannot work due to a mental or physical disability stemming from an injury or illness they should be able to receive disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. However, only a qualifying disability may get the applicant the support they need in the form of benefits. A disability is not the only requirement a person must satisfy in order to get help from the Social Security Administration. An applicant for disability benefits must also have enough work credits from their past employment to qualify them for help.

I have so much I could say about the woman behind this inner beauty capture. I must say every time I do one of these, my heart expands and grows. How do I translate what I see and hear about a person? How do I take the wealth of emotions, stories, colors and capture it...lock it down for a single moment in time?
I don't know that I can fully explain the process I go through to arrive at the final place I do with these works. How do I know when I have it? How do I know I've listened well? How do I choose...Well I don't really choose. The process seems to choose me. I suppose it's a collaboration of sorts. When someone is all in for expressing their heart, as this beautiful woman was, it gives me such a freedom to create and share with them exactly what I saw in their beautiful vulnerability.
This woman is no exception to living full with love in her heart and determination to live life to the fullest. She has a heart as vast and deep as the ocean. She loves people deeply and cares more than ever about each person that comes into her life.
I want this woman to see and know that her sparkle, her beauty, her beautiful heart fills this world with such a glow, much like the sunset spreads it's beauty and grace upon the earth every night.
Her zest for life and enjoying the good things in life, even when life throws its punches at her are why we are drawn to her. She carries her friends and families trials as they are her very own. This brings me to the part where I hope she really pays attention. This world needs more people who feel and care about others hardships and struggles like they were their own. No judging just open arms saying I'm here no matter what. She brings such a reassurance to those around her. Honestly, I believe that the people she is close to love her because she believes in them and we all need someone like that in our life. Don't we?
I hope she always shines her light and knows she is loved and matters.
*As always there is a playlist that these beautiful souls share with me. I believe music reflects our personal rhythm, our love, our sorrow, our struggle. It embodies who we are on a deeper inner level. It reveals a lot in my opinion. Here were a few of the selections I enjoyed connecting with while working on this piece:

Martial strikes late as United see off Spurs
Anthony Martial came off the bench to fire Manchester United to victory as Jose Mourinho's men edged a cagey encounter with high-flying Tottenham.
Second hosted third as the Premier League title contenders looked to keep up with early pace-setters Manchester City.
The match looked set to end in an unremarkable draw, only for substitute Martial to race onto Romelu Lukaku's flick-on late on to fire United to a 1-0 win against Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs.
The relief was palpable after the substitute's effort bobbled past Hugo Lloris in the 81st minute, continuing United's 100 per cent Premier League record at Old Trafford where they have not even conceded a goal.
A smattering of jeers had greeted Mourinho's decision to bring on Martial in place of Marcus Rashford, but the change paid dividends as United belatedly showed a cutting edge.
The substitute compounded Harry Kane-less Tottenham's shock Carabao Cup defeat to West Ham, but things could have been different had Dele Alli not wasted Spurs' best chance before Lukaku hit the post and Martial netted the winner.
While the end may have been exciting, the match was as drab as the weather for much of the afternoon.
United's bright start proved a false dawn as Rashford's long-range free-kick was the best they could muster before Spurs settled.
Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko tried their luck at the other end as Phil Jones made some key interventions, before Ashley Young and Dele Alli had a frank exchange of views as the Old Trafford faithful lapped up United's strong tackles and pressing.
It was Tottenham who looked most likely to open the first-half scoring, with Alli trying his luck before United target Eric Dier improvised to get an acrobatic attempt on David De Gea's goal.
The rain poured as the teams emerged for the second half - a period United again began brightly.
Crosses were flying into the Spurs box and Lloris could not hold onto a Henrikh Mkhitaryan shot, with Ben Davies' superb recovery tackle denying Rashford a simple goal.
Antonio Valencia smashed a half-volley just over as United looked for a breakthrough, with both managers making changes in an attempt to swing the game.
The decision to replace Rashford with Martial in the 70th minute was not universally popular but the replacement quickly made an impression.
After failing with an overhead kick, he then showed a nice touch in a move that ended with Lloris tipping away a Lukaku cross-shot.
Valencia was booked for diving as the hosts pushed for a winner, with Spurs struggling to trouble United until Christian Eriksen's smart clipped pass was met by Alli.
The England international could only turn wide from close range and United reacted.
Lukaku met a superb cross from the right with a powerful header that came back off a post, before United went route one for victory.
De Gea's long kick was flicked on by Lukaku, with Martial shrugging aside Dier to send a bobbling effort past France team-mate Lloris as Old Trafford erupted.
United shut the game down after the goal, with Mourinho holding a finger to his lips at full-time after silencing some of the doubters.

Zombies rise. Heroes die. You are what remains.
The world was a large place. The four races, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs coexisted with an uneasy peace, but at the least, they were able to share the land and survive. Empires were formed, lives created and destroyed, magic flourished and for a brief time, Humanity strove to master the globe. Then the undead scourge broke the world.
The World of Aruneus project is already well under way! With 6 digital publications available for Aruneus (11 total including other projects) at this time. Included in these are unique rules for Contagion Infected Human Zombies - a special breed of undead that are necessary for a world breaking apocalypse. Also, Orcs as a player character race - modeled on early medieval Huns, our Orcs are different. They have Style!
The goal is to raise enough money to create the Essential Aruneus - a hardcover source book and digital document that would contain the everything players and Game Masters would need to start a full campaign in the world of Aruneus.
This project is under full steam! I'm using Kickstarter as a way to pre-order the finished products (PDF or Hardcover) with a few extra goodies thrown in for those who've contributed early. For more information about Aruneus, see http://trollitc.com/category/role-playing-games/aruneus/
This book would be approximately 100 pages in length and would contain the following publications. A * means the product is already published. Unpublished products are all currently in progress, being actively worked on and have artists assigned to them.
*The History of Aruneus - a time line.
Aruneus - life in a post-apocalypse world - featuring an Atlas style map, and detailed history.
*Contagion Infected Zombies. 3 different zombie types, a new feat, and a cure.
*Zombie Cards - for Contagion Infected Zombie management.
*Orcs! A new Player Character Race, Prestige class and more.
Two new full character classes, including the Quantamancer.
The Gods of Aruneus - detailing the six gods of the pantheon, new divine magic and more.
*Clerics and Wizards - the struggle between the ruling Clerics and outlawed magic.
*The Dwarven Empire - the rise and fall of the Dwarves.
The Elves - a history of the race of Elves and their struggle with the human undead.
Herbology - Magical herbs found throughout Aruneus
The Haunted Mine - The first adventure in the Aruneus world for 1st level characters.
New Enemies - A second adventure for 1st level characters.
Head over to DriveThruRPG for what's already been published: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php...
The money raised from Kickstarter would go towards offsetting publication costs (and fulfilling pre-orders), paying artists, editors and Pathfinder subject experts and getting this book to various conventions over the next year where players like you can enjoy the heck out of it! The majority of this money would go towards paying people who have a strong desire to work in the gaming industry but do not have the experience or portfolio to break in. This could be their chance and I'd like to pay them for their work.
Want even more information? Please stop by the Aruneus Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-World-of-Aruneus-A-High-Fantasy-Zombie-Apocalypse/124250317595506...

by LEON HARRIS AND ROBIN GOULD/ABC7
Port Tobacco, Md. (ABC7) —
Eight-year-old Amelia Bovais from Port Tobacco, Maryland, has a special bond with 14-year-old Abby Weinberg.
Amelia first met Abby two years ago when Abby's mother was her second grade teacher.
"She brought Abby into school a lot and I just read to her," explained Amelia. "She was always smiling."
Abby has a rare genetic disorder called Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome, or AGS, which causes severe neurological problems and physical disabilities. Most children with AGS don't survive past childhood.
As the girls' friendship grew, Amelia learned more about AGS and she became determined to help.
"In the summertime, she's like I got to start raising money," said Keely Bovais, Amelia's mother.
While visiting her grandmother in Oregon, Amelia started going door-to-door to collect bottles and cans for a five-cent deposit. She joined Abby's family at Children's National Health Systems' "Race for Every Child." After the race, she spoke to her church in La Plata which lead to a $100,000 donation from an anonymous member for AGS research.
"Most people don't know about it, so I'm trying to raise awareness about it," said Amelia.
In all, Amelia has raised more than $140,000 for AGS research.
Abby's parents say Amelia is a blessing and her effort provides hope for families like theirs.
"She's our biggest fundraiser right now," said Stephanie Weinberg. "It actually started a drug trial for some of the kids this year, which would've not happened had she not done what she did."
And Amelia will keep campaigning for her friend and others with AGS.
"My hope is to find some sort of treatment for AGS because there's no cure for it," said Amelia, who is looking forward to crossing the finish line with her friend Abby next to her at this year's "Race for Every Child" on October 1.

The exponential map of the complexification of {\em Ham} in theDaniel Burns, Ernesto Lupercio, Alejandro Uribe
real-analytic case [PDF]
Let $(M, \omega, J)$ be a K\"ahler manifold and K its group of hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. The complexification of K introduced by Donadson is not a group, only a "formal Lie group". However it still makes sense to talk about the exponential map in the complexification. In this note we show how to construct geometrically the exponential map (for small time), in case the initial data are real-analytic. The construction is motivated by, but does not use, semiclassical analysis.View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.0493

Location: Dale Road, Doncaster DN12 3BX
Built: 1180
Owner: Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council and English Heritage
Grade I
Website: www.conisbroughcastle.org.uk
Alleged ghost: The white Lady
Area of supposed haunt: At the top of the keep
Alleged ghost: The grey monk
Area of supposed haunt: All around the castle
On the edge of the village of Conisbrough in South Yorkshire, England, stands Conisbrough Castle.
Conisbrough Castle was built around 1180 by Hamelin Plantagenet. The castle is unique to this country in its design, it has one of the finest keeps in England, and the only other similar example was built on Warenne owned land in France. The curtain walls were built around the keep in the early 1200s. The keep survived destruction during the English Civil war because part of the curtain wall had already collapsed so parliamentarians viewed it as indefensible and left it in tact. The keeps walls are said to be 15 feet thick in places!!
It was only a half hours drive to Conisbrough Castle; the keep was very prominent from the bottom of the hill. It was only a short walk from the car park to the castle, we had to pay to get in as it's run by English Heritage; we took our ticket and went in the grounds, but no one was about to make sure we had paid, they must be very trusting of people, we could have just wandered in without paying!
We walked around the inner ward for a while, the dog came in with us even though he wasn't allowed in, and we must have the most cultured dog in Yorkshire! The keep was high, I think its around 90 feet high. We took it in turns to have a look around inside the keep, I so do like wandering around dark castles on my own!
The keep was intact; as I walked in I saw what looked like a pit which is in-fact a vaulted basement and hatch. This hatch was used in order to lower buckets into the well. I walked higher and higher up the stone spiral staircase that was dimly lit then I entered a room that hand two large candle stands and a large medieval table and fireplace, it felt really creepy in here on my own, people have heard footsteps in the keep and there is supposed to be a grey monk who is resident in there, although there isn't any evidence that monks stayed at the castle.
I went right to the top of the castle, the views were impressive.
There was a murder at the keep, a woman was pushed over the edge, she is known as the white lady, and she has been seen on top of the keep. As to who it was that was murdered I am unsure.
Conisbrough is superbly photogenic place, great day out.

Emily's Spotlight/
"My focus throughout the trip has been with Nile Vocational Institute (NVI). Before leaving to come to Uganda, the company I work for (RSK), showed a phenomenal amount of support and encouragement for the projects Ugandaid are doing.
This has lead to organizing a meeting with RSK's East African projects team and NVI to discuss ways to fill any gaps in the current curriculum so NVI can meet the standards required for students to go directly into industry, as well as possible appointments for industrial placements and hopefully create lasting connections.
Alongside this, the money raised by RSK has been enough to sponsor a student through a two-year training course at NVI. The student is Amos Ssewonkambo, who is just starting on the welding and sheet metal work course. It was such a joy meeting him on Sunday, hearing about his life and heart warming to see how happy and gracious he is about having the opportunity to study and to achieve his dream to work and see distant countries through this."

New to the Menu – Cobia
"Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) – also known as black kingfish, black salmon, ling, and lemonfish, is sleek looking and can resemble a shark. You can find Cobia across the world in tropical and subtropical waters, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. They are most commonly found in clean, offshore waters around drifting and stationary objects, which allows them to adapt well to life in large open ocean net pens. Open Blue Cobia has a rich, buttery and fresh flavor and a firm texture – its often compared to swordfish or Chilean Sea Bass."
Watch the video below to learn more about Open Blue then come in and try something you won't find at any other sushi bar in Montana.

Marketing has undergone some major changes, and how fast things have changed is regarded as mind-blowing. It was only a decade ago when Rightmove listed under 10% of the properties up for sale, and YouTube was still a baby, while Mark Zuckerberg was attempting to launch his latest idea known as Facebook.
Fast forwarding to today's world and not many people would have predicted how popular social media would become along with live streaming and pay-per-click. Where you aware that when you initially launched your own agency that becoming a marketer would become just as or even more important in comparison to selling houses?
Below are my 5 predictions when it comes to estate-agent marketing for 2019:
1. The agents will start to measure ROI more closely when it comes to marketing activities.
Where the agents once claimed "brand awareness" as a goal in most of their marketing campaigns. They are starting to realise that the returns on investments are only measurable when it comes to marketing which incites responses. Whether these responses involve opt-in to email lists, attendance to events or signing up to independent sites such as floorplansUsketch.com instead of outsourcing work, agents are now able to attach values to responses which enable a way to assess whether the campaign was successful or not.
2. Property marketing will start to become a lot more experiential, with improved drone footage, virtual reality and high-quality videos.
Property marketing has revolutionised over the past 5 years, along with 360' tours and professional photography now starting to become the standard when it comes to premium properties. Now more than ever, more agents will start to use property marketing in order to demonstrate superior marketing and differentiation abilities to their potential clients. Added services such as twilight photography, home staging, along with drone footage which allow the agents a way to charge higher commissions or for justifying up-front marketing fees. Aspects like Virtual Reality will also become a lot more affordable as well as enable the agents a way to market their properties when it comes to overseas and out of the area buyers.
3. Personality Marketing Will Start To Overtake Brand Marketing
It is a known fact that it is people that buy people, while this is extremely true when it comes to the industry of estate agency, whereby confidence and trust are key factors when making the decision on what agent to hire. Agents will also start to accept that trust associated with the larger brands is starting to erode, while smaller independent agents are able to benefit from this by making use of their caring personalities in order to promote and advertise their own independent statuses. The profile social photos will display a person and not a brand, while updates will start to become a lot more interesting and personal, which moves away from the industry figures and facts, and more towards community-focused and "behind the scenes" content.
4. Digital Technology Will Allow Agents To Automate Marketing Activities As Well As Systemize Lead Generation
With competition that drives down fees and tight margins, agents have started to realise benefits in automating and systemising their own marketing activities. Creating marketing funnels where every step is automated will mean the leads will be generated by well-oiled machines which run behind the scenes of an agency, which means the owner of the company can avoid having to hustle each day for more and more new leads. They can now focus on delivering better services to current clients. An increasing number of agents will start to look for the outside services in order to perfect this process including marketing coaches and agencies.
5. Agents Will Start To Embrace Live-Streaming With Facebook Live Which Will Form A Vital Part Of Content Strategy
Attention has become the latest currency of businesses. Attracting and then maintaining people's online attention is more complex than attempting to catch collie dogs when they are in the process of rounding up sheep. In fact, your content happens to be as easy as one click of a mouse away from becoming ignored and irrelevant. But when it comes to mobile video that accounts for 50% of the data usage on mobile, predictions that 74% of the Internet traffic is said to be in video by 2017, then video may be an answer that the letting and independent sales have been in search of.

Featured Fall Wedding:
Jenna was married on a beautiful farm in Peru, NY. She wanted deep rich colors that popped. To compliment her free spirited nature, she wanted a fun, wild looking bouquet. She was able to come to our flower farm and hand pick certain flowers that we used in her bouquet and her bridal party bouquets. To incorporate the fall feeling, she chose to have multiple small dried flower arrangements to line farmhouse style tables. Seriously such a joy to work with, we were so grateful to be a part of this wedding!

Growing on trees that reach up to 160 feet tall, these delicious and highly nutritious nuts are high in mono- and polyunsaturated fats, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. In fact, Brazil nuts are the highest natural source of selenium (543 mcg in 1 oz.).
A potent micronutrient, scientific evidence to date suggests that selenium might play a role in the prevention or treatment of heart disease, cognitive decline, liver disease, some types of cancer, and thyroid disease. Selenium concentrations are highest in the thyroid gland, and it has a vital role in the functioning of the gland. Just two Brazil nuts a day make it easy for most people to meet their daily selenium requirement.
Don't go overboard on Brazil nuts—too much selenium in the diet can cause brittle nails, alopecia, rash, upset stomach, and fatigue. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences advises a maximum limit of 45 mcg of selenium for kids and 400 mcg for adults daily. The best way to enjoy Brazil nuts is to combine a few with other types of nuts, seeds, and raisins. Sprinkle on salad, yogurt, or blend into a smoothie.
Making freshly ground nut butters at home gives you the opportunity to enjoy these nutritious spreads without the added sugar or preservatives often found in store-bought varieties.
Note: There is a 2 to 1 ratio of nuts to nut butter. To make 1 cup of nut butter, start with 2 cups of shelled nuts.
- 2 cups organic raw Brazil nuts
Optional flavor add-ins (opt for organic or locally sourced):
- Sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, finely ground to taste
- Organic stevia, raw honey or maple syrup to taste
- 1 tsp Organic vanilla or almond extract
- 1 Tbsp Organic cacao powder (for a smooth nut butter) or cacao nibs (for a chunkier nut butter)
Optional Prep:
(a) To make the nuts more digestible, soak and dehydrate the nuts to extract phytic acids (compounds that bind minerals). Before grinding, soak nuts in water and cover for 8-12 hours. Dehydrate about 10 hours.
(b) To add a distinctive, warm flavor, toast the nuts before grinding. Toast nuts on a dry baking sheet at 400°F until nuts are fragrant and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch closely; nuts burn easily. Make sure the nuts are cool to the touch before grinding.
Place nuts into a food processor and start blending, leaving out the optional flavor add-ins. Blend for 11-12 minutes. You may need to grind at various speeds or intervals until you reach the consistency that meets your taste preferences. The nuts will go through several stages and you'll need to keep pressing the contents into the center of the blender as you go through the process. The nuts will crumble, clump, ball, redistribute, and then finally … the oils will release, and you'll have a nice spread.
Mix in your choice of flavor add-ins by hand. Nut butter keeps in the refrigerator for about a month.

Tips for hosting a dinner party at home/
Dinner Party Tips - By Linda Davis
Do you enjoy entertaining and hosting dinner parties, love to be the perfect host, or do you dread the thought of planning a dinner party? The magic of any type of party is to have a good plan to follow. With a little planning on your part, you will be hosting a party or gathering to remember. Before I go on, there is one thing I would like to suggest... keep things simple so that you too can enjoy your own dinner party. This could include hiring a hostess helper.
Who should you invite to this dinner party?
If there is no set reason for the dinner party such as a wedding rehearsal dinner, this could be the hardest part of hosting a dinner party. You want to make sure to have an eclectic mix people that can all get along and easily interact with each other. If this is your first party, I would suggest starting with your close friends that already know each other. Who would want drama during their dinner party, especially the first one? Not me, that's for sure.
Who not to invite as a guest:
You can't always be in complete control of who comes as a dinner guest, ie: a boyfriend or girlfriend of your dinner guest, but if you can help it, I would put last on my list of potential guests.... , the drama queen, the gossiper, the one that talks over others, or someone that is just plain mean or rude. That said, if that person is truly a friend, take a deep breath and make your own judgment call. A dinner party is not worth losing a good friend over.
How many dinner guests should you invite?
I like to suggest that you limit the amount of dinner guests to the number of chairs that comfortably fit around your dinner table. No one wants to hit elbows, have someone so close that if they turn to talk them they feel uncomfortable (some people really like their personal space). You might also want to take into consideration the size of your table. If you can seat 12, that's fine, but make sure your seating arrangement allows a good mix of guests. You don't want to place all of the shy guests at one end and the conversation starters on the other end.
Setting the Table for your dinner party:
If possible, set your table as early as possible. First, this will lessen your stress knowing it is done. It will allow you time to think of creative table decor ideas and work on them. Think about your dinner party and the style. Is it going to be formal where a white tablecloth, silver, and an elegant flower arrangement with candles sets the stage or is it going to be informal and casual. Just keep in mind what will be on your table and how you will protect it from steam or water stains on the wood.
Dinner Menu and Dinner Recipes:
Once again, if you can take care of things in advance, such as coming up with a dinner menu, buying food for the dinner recipes, and then prepare as much of the meal as possible in advance. This will allow you more time to socialize and enjoy mingling with your guests.
Not a good cook? There are some amazing places that sell prepared meals, such as a caterer or restaurant. You could even consider hiring a private chef to prepare the meal in your kitchen or bring somewhat ready-made to heat and serve.
Here is a party plan timeline you might want to try.
No less than one week beforehand:
Choose your dinner party menu - don't forget to find out if any of your guests have food allergies, especially if you are going to be serving anything with nuts, milk products, gluten, shell fish. Speaking of shellfish, get specific with your guest. Not all shellfish allergies, or allergies in general, are the same. I myself am allergic to lobster (I know! A New Englander who is allergic to lobster is almost like a curse! Especially when you liked it upon first tryI), but I am not allergic to crab or shrimp. Cross contamination is also a factor, so please keep your guests in mind when serving utensils or shared plates are involved.
Create your dinner party shopping list.
A few days before the dinner party:
Purchase all of the products for your recipe that will keep well and be fresh for the dinner party. If you are serving fish or something that should be fresh, make time and plan to pick up the items the morning of your party.
Call your butcher, fish market, or bakery, to request your dinner food is ready and waiting for you.
For beverages, select a wine that works well with your dinner menu. If you are unsure, most high end liquor stores have someone, on staff, that can help you, but you can do a Google search very easily; type in your questions as if you were asking someone "what wine goes with.................."
If you are using special silver, china or glassware, polish them up and set them out.
The day before the dinner party:
Tidy the house.
Make any dishes that can be made the night before.
Set your table - If possible, I like to do this a couple of days in advance.
The Day of the Party:
Revisit the rooms of your house for a final cleaning or touch up, especially the restroom.
Buy any last minute ingredients.
Check for any items missing on your dinner table.
Start cooking the final items for your dinner recipes.
The night of the Dinner Party:
Tackle any last minute tidying up like pillow fluffing and a quick sweep
Get yourself all dressed
Light the candles
Turn on the music.
And most important, if you can, give yourself at least ten minutes where you can sit and relax. You deserve it!

How do heat pumps work?
The science behind how heat pumps work has been around for decades, however it's only been until recent years that people are realizing how effective it is for heating a home. Heat pumps should actually be thought of as heat transporters. Click below to learn about how heat pumps work.
Stay Warm This Winter
Even though it feels cold outside, there is still heat energy present. A heat pump pulls this heat energy from outside with it's refrigerant lines into your home. For every 1 KW it uses to pump, it can pull up to 3 KW of heat in, resulting in efficiency up to 300% more than an electric baseboard.
How can I save money?
Having your home properly assesed by a certified HVAC technician, the right heat pump installed and properly maintained can save you thousands of dollars in heating costs. Our heat pumps can give you up to 3kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity purchased. Compared to a electric baseboard that will give you 1kW of heat for 1kW purchased.

Use a large, good quality brush
Investing in a wide filament brush is worthwhile as it will not only hold more paint, but will achieve quicker coverage due to its size. They also don't lose their bristles like the cheaper brushes do.
Cleaning Brushes & Rollers
Between coats a handy tip is to wrap the brush or roller in cling film and place in the refrigerator while you wait, this will prevent them from drying out and means you don't need to wash them out between coats! The trays can also be cling filmed in between coats.
Spills & Splatters
Keep a clean damp cloth close by to wipe up paint splatters as they happen. This will prevent the paint from drying and being near impossible to remove.
Painting skirting and trims
Cardboard, or a metal ruler can be used in place of masking when painting skirting and trims. Take care to keep the guard clean from excess paint as you move along!
Packing used tins away
Place tin lid on base and cover with a rag before banging the lid shut with a hammer or mallet. The rag will prevent any excess pain in the rim spraying you or the floor. The lid should be closed air tight to keep the left over paint for its next use.
Labelling tins
A handy hint is to mark the paint level on the outside of the tin with permanent marker, and to note where it was used i.e Bathroom trims.
Don't mask your glass
Running a blade around the beading will separate the painted border from the painted glass. Then all you need to do is scrape a sharp blade along the surface of the glass, on approximately a 45 degree angle to skim up the paint. Take care not to cut into the glass surface with the blade.
Work your way from the top to the bottom
Paint the ceiling first, then prime and paint walls. Paint trims last

Emerging from the Chicago's improvised music scene, in the 1990s Kevin Drumm became one of the world's pre-eminent prepared guitar players. Since then his work has expanded to include electroacoustic compositions and live electronic music made with laptop computers and analog modular synthesizers. His early recordings contain mostly sparse, quiet sounds; recent works have been more loud and dense. Drumm's work draws upon musique concrète, free improvisation, and noise music. He is also a black metal fanatic.
Drumm has collaborated with many artists working in similar fields, including Japanese guitarist Taku Sugiomoto, Canadian turntabilst Martin Tétreault, and German trumpeter Axel Dörner, among others. Drumm made his solo debut with the eponymous release 'Kevin Drumm' in 1997 and has since released well over 30 records. kevindrumm.bandcamp.com
Cameron Shafii is an Iranian composer practicing electronic and electroacoustic music. His compositions are inflected with a host of digital synthesis processes and are informed by aspects of acousmatic theory, particularly spectromorphology. His works do not impose any temporal scheme upon the listener - rejecting the semiotic operation of 'engagement/disengagement'. 'Pithy & Prolix' and 'Corpora Vilia' - two forthcoming full-length albums for the Anòmia and Conditional labels - present asymmetrical narratives that articulate tension, amorphous forms, and complex sonorities, signifying a plurality of meaning and complication.
Cameron has performed at concerts, festivals, and workshops, and has exhibited pieces as sound installations in the US and Canada. He runs the Ge-stell label and is based in Philadelphia, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in German at the University of Pennsylvania. cameronshafii.com

Written by Cathryn Gagnon for the Dining Divas:
While I anticipated my visit to Thirteen At The Inn, I imagined the Chicken Liver Pate and Bean Salad from years ago. They were my favorite memories of the food at Thirteen Russell Street, a popular Steak House situated in a historic Victorian house in downtown Leamington. It was a family-run restaurant, originally owned by the Harris', but it closed its doors when the trend in fine dining waned.
Over the years, every time I drove by, I thought about the beautiful old house and their delicious Caesar salads and juicy steaks.
To my delight, Karen Harris reopened Thirteen Russell by transporting her success and recipes through time, to the Seacliff Inn, another of Leamington's historic Landmarks. The Inn and restaurant have undergone renovations that include a waterfront patio with a view of Lake Erie.
The Dining Divas were immediately impressed by the modern and crisp white decor. Elegant, white butter leather chairs complemented the dark hard wood floors. The oak bar is also cloaked in white and is lined with at least fifteen bar stools.
Of course I ordered the Chicken Liver Pate and Bean Salad. It was exactly as I remembered it. Our entrees consisted of Filet Minion – buttery, and the best piece of beef I've had in a long time, accompanied with roasted potatoes and asparagus. Prime Rib Beef Stroganoff was the dinner feature that was enjoyed by a few of the ladies. The Burger was superb. Lobster tails and two fish features were also available.
We completed our dining experience with a choice of six desserts. We only ordered four, but passed them around the table, moaning and savoring each bite. Raspberry infused white chocolate cheesecake, creme brulee, ice cream puffs, one with hot fudge and the other with butterscotch topping.
The patio may be a bit fancier than it was under the Seacliff brand, but they still serve the world famous Sea Dog. The Dining Divas gave Thirteen At The Inn a 10 out of 10. It is worth the drive to Leamington. Great job Karen, we are so glad you are carrying on the name and still fabulous dining experience.

Update: For QGIS 3.x go to this page
How to Install Third-party Python Modules in QGIS 2.12.3-Lyon (Windows)
If you have installed QGIS, you will see that it bundles its own version of Python in: C:\Program Files\QGIS\apps\Python27. This is the Python that is used when calling python expressions on the QGIS Python Console.
Now we needed to make use of a library called: Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL). Then we entered "import pysal" on the python console but surprisingly, we got an error that the module named pysal doesn't exist. That is TRUE, because it isn't installed with our QGIS python installation! So how do we install this library?
The easiest way install Python libraries is to use 'pip'. 'pip' is tool for installing and managing Python packages. 'pip' is a better package manager then easy_install and a replacement for easy_install
However at the moment of writing, the python setup (version 2.7.5) that comes with QGIS 2.12.3-Lyon installation doesn't have "pip" installed. Am sure in the future releases, an updated version of python (with 'pip' installed by default) will be use.
So now that we know that our QGIS python setup doesn't have 'pip', then it means we have to install 'pip' before we can install a third-party module/library.
The steps to take are as follow:-
1) Download "ez_setup.py" from this link
2) Locate where you installed the QGIS, it cold be at; "C:\Program Files\QGIS Lyon"
3) You should see "OSGeo4W shell", right click on it and select "Run as Administrator".
4) Take note of the PATH "C:\Windows\System32". Copy "ez_setup.py" you downloaded above to this location
5) Now run "python ez_setup.py" on the OSGeo4W shell. This will install "easy_install" which you will use to install 'pip' in the next step.
6) To install a 'pip' package with easy_install just run "easy_install pip" on the OSGeo4W shell.
7) That is it. You should now be able to install python packages on QGIS python setup by running: pip install <package_name>
For example lets install a Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL). Open your QGIS OSGeo4W shell and and run: pip install pysal
Now if you launch your QGIS software and import pysal on the python console, you will not get import error and you should be able to use all the PySAL classes as seen below.
That is it.
Hope this helps.

I am so thrilled to announce that in January 2016 I will officially be changing my business name from Alphonse Photography to Rachel Walters Photography!
My studio location and passion for my work will not be changing, and I am thrilled that through the changes to come, I will be able to create an even more personalized experience for my current and future clients. Read on to find out the full history of Alphonse Photography, and why I've decided to change the name.
The story of my business has only been made possible by and begins with my dad, Terry Alphonse. He has been photographing people and events since he was a kid, and took classes to learn how to use his first professional film camera to document the birth of my oldest sister. He has always been passionate about photographing the life of my siblings and me growing up, and has been sure to capture important life events for anyone and everyone he's known for as long as I can remember. In 2008, he finally decided to turn his passion into a business on the side of his full-time career. Shortly before that time, I was in my first year of college and completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my future. I was helping my sister search for her wedding photographer, and it clicked for me that photography was what I wanted to pursue. By August of 2008, I was starting classes for my degrees in Photography and Digital Layout & Design, and my dad had nearly finished work on an incredible photography studio for us in his basement. It even has a completely separate outdoor public access to its own driveway and parking lot for clients!
Throughout the first few years of the business I was my dad's assistant, helping him with studio lights and occasional posing, and learning about all of the equipment, software, supplies, paperwork, knowledge, skill, and money needed to run a photography business. We photographed pretty much everything, including senior pictures, weddings, engagements, children, newborns, families, events, and even portraits for dental offices. Over time I had learned enough from him and my classes – and he had started to become overwhelmed with running a business on top of maintaining a full-time career – that I started taking the lead with sessions, edits, client scheduling, print orders, etc. By the time I graduated college in 2012 I had taken over all responsibilities and officially started running the business myself full-time. I had my little sisters, and occasionally my mom, assist me with newborn sessions for about a year.
At the start of 2014, a few months after I got married, my dad decided to pass the business to me, and I became the sole owner of Alphonse Photography. He has moved on to another photography passion – researching and collecting Daguerreotypes (the first officially declared photography process) – which is much more flexible for his schedule (and which I think he's actually more passionate about if that's possible!).
For a time I figured it would be best to leave my business name as Alphonse Photography since it had already been established and recognized by my clients, and since I was still operating out of the studio in my parents' home. I have discovered in the past year and especially in the past few months that the name has become more of a confusion to clients who have a hard time pronouncing it, who don't understand why Rachel Walters is running a business named Alphonse Photography, and for people who still think my dad is running the business! It's clear to me now that the name has become a hinderance to the personalized brand I want to create, and since I'm in the process of paying for the business anyway, I have decided to take the leap and change the name of my business to Rachel Walters Photography!
I'm so thankful to my dad for taking the risk and starting this business for us 7 years ago, and I'm so proud of everything I've accomplished even just in this past year: I've grown and honed my skill exponentially in every aspect, and am so excited to now specialize in working with my favorite clients: newborns! I am dedicated to creating an even more personalized and specialized photography experience for each and every one of my clients in this next year and for many years to come!
I look forward to working with you soon!

Today is Saturday, and this time of year that means college football. On Saturdays I try to do some kind of Mexican history or culture on this blog to provide some insight into life here. Today I am going to combine some Mexican history which also includes American football. I am Facebook friends with a couple of Mexican guys who run American football leagues and teams in Chetumal. They are big football fans, and one of them shared this article yesterday that I thought a lot of you may like. I wrote an article about the football team and league in Chetumal a couple of months back.
There used to be a sport more popular in Mexico than soccer. Then something terrible happened
There's a space in Mexico City called the Plaza of the Three Cultures. It's an archeological treasure, common ground for different empires that have occupied Mexico over the centuries. Aztec ruins date back to the ancient city they called Tlatelolco. Looming over the ruins is a Catholic church built by Spaniards, who colonized the country in the 1500s. Finally there's the skyscraper former home of Mexico's Department of Foreign Affairs, representing the current state.
Incorporated into the plaza is a wide slate patio, on which a small memorial has been erected. The memorial honors the victims of what's widely regarded as Mexico's darkest and bloodiest day. I'm surprised to be standing next to it. I came to Mexico to look at the country's relationship with football, that most American of sports. Somehow my journey led me here to this plaza, and specifically to this memorial.
In three weeks, the National Football League will play its second-ever regular-season game in Mexico, and the first since 2005. Tickets for the contest between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans, to be played in the enormous Estadio Azteca, sold out in minutes. "Expanding our international series of regular-season games to Mexico marks an important step in our continued international growth," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said when the game was announced in February. "We have a tremendous, passionate fanbase in Mexico."
I'll admit to not being aware of that. When I've thought about Mexico and sports, football never came to mind. I think of soccer, of course, and then baseball. There's boxing and bullfighting, also the physical theater of lucha libre. Charreada, which is similar to a rodeo, is Mexico's official national sport. (Which I didn't know, either.)
I knew that football was played here, but I thought its presence was minor, perhaps on the scale of cricket in the United States. I never realized that in Mexico football was once the most popular university sport. Or that this country's legendary student uprising of 1968 started at a football game, and ended in gunshots right here in the plaza. Nor did I know that after the Tlatelolco Massacre, as it is called, the government—in an attempt to prevent future student unrest—broke up the most glamorous football program in the country. The game has never quite recovered.
✦ ✦ ✦
University of Mexico graduate Hector Castro, 62, is an ardent, longtime Pumas football fan.
"Football was more popular than soccer," Hector Castro tells me. "Mucho mas! This stadium would be full. They could not fit more people. It was always packed."
Castro is 62 years old, a medical doctor and a graduate of the University of Mexico, or UNAM. His college, one of the most prestigious schools in Latin America, has long sponsored Pumas, the best-known and most successful football team in the country. I ran into Castro on a warm Saturday in October, when I took in a Pumas game.
I arrived right after kickoff. The opposing team was the Eagles of the University of Chihuahua, from a Mexican state that borders Texas. I lived in Chihuahua a few years ago, so I initially sat on the visitors side of Estadio Olimpico, which is located just off the UNAM campus. Maybe 40 Aguilas fans watched the game with me. Police assigned to protect the fans chatted among themselves. The lone vendor didn't carry a tray of Cokes or ice cream sandwiches or anything. He simply climbed up to my seat and said if there was anything I wanted, he'd go find it for me.
A cauldron from the 1968 Summer Olympics hovered over my head. I looked down at the rubber track that circles the playing field. A pit adjacent to the track conjured up a famous image of Bob Beamon soaring improbably far in Mexico City's thin air. Goalposts stapled into the turf for the football game looked temporary and a little rickety, like you might find at an eight-man high school game deep in the Kansas prairie. The players seemed like typical football players, if a bit on the short side. The crowd, mostly Pumas fans sitting on the other side of the bowl, cheered every attempted long pass. That seemed to be the great appeal of the game—long passes.
The level of play matched the Division III college I attended in Wisconsin. Or maybe it was more like Division II, if I'm being fair. Chihuahua marched out to a 21-3 lead, which surprised me, as I'd never heard about the school's football team when I lived there. ("It surprised us, too," Pumas quarterback Rafael Arenas tells me after the game. "They've never been very good.")

Doubtful. The Panasonic DVD recorders had panasonic-made decoder/system chips, this one uses a Philips/NXP SAA7137 analog/digital video decoder, and a LSI system chip. It may help a bit with frame stability/audio sync, but the SAA7137 chip doesn't do much to fix horizontal wiggle like the panasonic machines do.
I read on this forum that other brands like Toshiba can do what Panasonic can.
Yeah, I know at least, Toshiba RD-XS models, Pioneer DVR-_30 and newer, and Sony RDR-HX_50 (possibly not the latest models) and newer have NEC chips that have a similar, but not quite as powerful TBC-type function. There could be other models like their HDD-less versions, and brands using them too.

The place where the things you love to do and the things you are good at come together - the Element, a different way of defining potential. Ken Robinson
What I Do
Career Strategy
I help individuals find success and satisfaction in the work they do. More to the point, I assist you in getting in, getting out, moving up, and getting along.
Career because life works better when it's more than a j-o-b. Strategy because success comes from having a game plan that's specific to you, your life, and your situation.
Leadership Strategy
I assist entrepreneurs and niche employers explore and develop their leadership abilities.
Leadership Strategy, like Career Strategy, is an individualized endeavor. Authentic, self-aware leaders, build teams comprised of "right-fit" people; those with the experience, skill-set, personality, and passion, best positioned for success.
My Approach
Focus on the Individual
Working for job seekers and employers gives me a unique perspective - a view from both sides of the desk, simultaneously. This point of view, along with attentiveness to the characteristics and attributes of each individual, form the core of my approach.
Providing concepts, ideas, and tools fundamental to my work are Dr. Taylor Hartman -The Color Code, Don Clifton - Strengths Finder, and Sir Ken Robinson, PhD - The Element. Each of these pioneers speaks to the private thoughts of every business builder looking in the mirror and each hiring manager pondering an aspiring candidate:
Who are you?
What are you good at?
What gets your juices flowing?
Success comes when there's a clear objective, a solid plan, and strategies that align with both. In the end however, it always comes down to the individual ... which is where I start.

Note: We will assume you've already plundered everything from Chapter 1 - Kilika (a quick trip). Also note that, if you do not have 23.4% completion on your file (seen as 23%), you did not do everything possible in Chapter 1, and should go back to do the rest if you wish to obtain 100%.
Local Enemy Bestiary
|Enemy Name
|Death Dauber
|Weakness to Fire, Flying
|League Fighter
|League Scout
|Red Elemental
|Weakness to Ice
|Very strong, high HP
|Yevon Defender
|Yevon Guard
Welcome back. When you arrive, simply go north to the residential area, then go north to find the gates to Kilika Woods. Enter and a mission begins.
Begin by saving with the Save Sphere nearby, then go west at the first intersection. As you go, you'll see someone run across a lot to the northeast; follow them by taking the path beneath the log at the second intersection. You'll quickly reach another intersection; just go north there, and east at the next. You'll be stopped by some soldiers, though, so go north after the encounter. Peek through the bushes, and simply keep peeking, after which you can safely go east again, then go south at the next intersection. At the second tree that's curled over the water, press Circle and you can find a Megalixir . Go back to the intersection and north to the Save Sphere.
Continue along to encounter some soldiers - it's up to you as to whether you want to fight them, in which case you should tell them something other than what we tell you. The first wave will leave if you tell them " Craven Monkey ", and the next group with " Carved Monkey " (which yields a Hi-Potion ), the third by " Craven Monkey " (this yields an Ether ), and the final group by " Carved Monkey " (twice). You'll get a Turbo Ether and the Menace of the Deep Garment Grid for avoiding the fights, too, by the way.
Continue up the stairs to find something waiting for you.

BOSS ANALYSIS : When you fight the regular form of this boss, you'll only see two things: a basic physical and Blast Punch (no surprise to FFX'ers). The physical hits for around 50-100 damage, and Blast Punch tears off half of your max HP and induces Delay. Finally, there's Haymaker , a high-power two-hit attack; expect a near-kill from it.
If you fight it Oversouled, it will not use either of those moves. Instead, it will noticeably switch between the use of Bio or Silence Punch for several turns at a time. These attacks will rip off 12.5% of your maximum HP, and they can induce Poison or Silence, respectively. For a brief time between the Modes, you will see Attack, Haymaker, and Blast Punch, but rather briefly.
MAIN STRATEGY : For this fight, you'll pretty much need to open with Protect on everyone with the White Mage still casting Cura pretty much every turn. You can't predict Haymaker or Blast Punch, and those will hurt. Beyond that bit, Power Break should help nicely to lower Haymaker's damage a bit more, and Armor/Mental Break to increase your offense, obviously. That done, just keep someone healing every turn or two and keep up a good offense.
If you fight the Oversouled form, the same logic applies, really. We would just note that you can Poison the boss in this form (but not the regular, for some reason) to help increase its HP loss.
After the battle, you'll end up snatching the Awesome Sphere and Chapter 1 will come to an end!
100% Completion Checkpoint - You'll have 25% completion after Chapter 1 is complete if you did everything.

Higher rental income helped SPH Reit maintain second-quarter distribution in the challenging retail landscape, its manager said yesterday.
The mall owner reported a distributable income of $36.4 million for the three months to Feb 29, a marginal 0.2 per cent increase over the $36.3 million in the same period last year.
This translates to a distribution per unit of 1.4 cents, unchanged from previously, to be paid out on May 13.
Gross revenue climbed 1.2 per cent to $53.1 million on the back of higher rental income from the two properties under management, Paragon and The Clementi Mall.
Property operating expenses were 2.3 per cent higher at $12.5 million due to an additional one-off provision for prior-year property tax, though cushioned by savings in utilities from lower tariff rates and more efficient consumption for new chillers, as well as lower marketing expenses.
Gross revenue: $53.1 million (+1.2%)
Net property income: $40.6 million (+0.9%)
Distribution per unit: 1.4 cents (unchanged)
Net property income, as a result, inched up only 0.9 per cent to $40.6 million. Excluding the effect of the provision, net property income grew 3.2 per cent to $41.5 million.
Gross revenue for the half-year rose 2 per cent to $105.2 million, while net property income expanded 3.3 per cent to $80.7 million.
SPH Reit Management said both Paragon and The Clementi Mall "continued to demonstrate resilience and achieved positive rental reversion".
Paragon's occupancy was 99.9 per cent as at Feb 29. It achieved a moderate rental uplift of 4.3 per cent for new and renewed leases in the first half of the year in spite of the prevailing weak retail sentiment. The Clementi Mall remained fully leased, with a positive rental reversion of 3.1 per cent in the same period.
Ms Susan Leng, chief executive of SPH Reit Management, said: "SPH Reit has continued to deliver a steady performance amid modest economic outlook and challenging retail environment.
"We remain focused on opportunities to create value and strengthen long-term sustainability of the properties," she said.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two properties are expected to remain resilient, and turn in a steady performance."
The Air Handling Unit decanting project at Paragon, for instance, is progressing on schedule, while the planning for The Clementi Mall's reconfiguration project is under way, said Ms Leng.
SPH Reit closed unchanged at 97 cents yesterday. The results were announced after trading hours.

Artist Spotlight - Tristan Thompson
Meet Radio Airplay's artist of the Month. Born and raised in Victoria, BC, Tristan Thompson's family knew he was going to be a performer at the tender age of 6 months old when they noticed him dancing to Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" as he held on the coffee table.
At the age of 2, Tristan began singing Red Hot Chili Peppers' tunes at the top of his lungs. He would soon pull out paint cans and use them as drums or he'd play the spoons to music he was listening to and sing along.
After each "performance" in front of his family, he would always bow and say "Thank you, Thank you very much" - yes, Tristan was definitely destined for the entertainment industry.
A major turning point for Tristan was learning so much more about Michael Jackson's music after MJ's death. Tristan soaked up everything he could regarding MJ on YouTube. He also started to learn every nuance to MJ's moves while dissecting all of his videos. Soon after, Tristan would end up performing MJ's moves at a school dance and he quickly earned the nickname "MJ".
In the summer of 2010, Tristan would busk in downtown Victoria where he would show off his "MJ" moves. On the July 1st weekend, the local police had to move his gathering audience along so the congested traffic could continue.
After a live performance at a family friend's wedding and a few performances at various local charity events such as The Autism Walk and the Lac-Megantic fundraiser, Tristan was featured on the local "Go Island" TV show where he was interviewed by James Green.
Soon after, Tristan recorded a cover of the song "Don't You Worry Child" and a video for the track was uploaded to YouTube. Thousands of views later, the video caught the attention of songwriter/record label owner, Tylor Johnson, and a record contract between Tristan Thompson and Chatter Records was signed.
"Tidal Wave" is the debut single from Tristan Thompson's debut album, "Here For You"....now available worldwide on iTunes.
Be sure to check out the video for "Tidal Wave" on YouTube!
Describe your sound in one ramble on sentence
The sound of my debut album "Here For You" can be described as fun, danceable pop with some edginess thrown into the mix coupled with lush melodies that can't help but tug at your heartstrings!
What inspires you to make music?
My goal is to create the kind of music that makes people feel good & inspires them to live their dreams!
What aspect of making music excites you the most right now?
I'm excited about creating the kind of songs that my fans will enjoy and seeing just how much my music connects with them as I have the opportunity to share my songs with an ever-expanding audience.
What aspect of making music gets you the most discouraged?
Not being able to perform live as often as I'd like can be discouraging. Forming that connection with my fans that only comes through live performances energizes me and provides the opportunity to show them just how much their support means to me! For booking requests, please feel free to contact me through my website www.tristanthompsononline.com
Is there a particular song or musical passage that never fails to move you emotionally?
Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" has always helped me remember how important personal integrity truly is.
What's one of your all-time favorite recordings?
My all-time favorite recording is another song by Michael Jackson...."Billie Jean". What a great tune!
Name three people who have influenced your music, and tell us why - Living or dead
The 3 people that have had the biggest impact on my music are:
1) Michael Jackson – He's the greatest entertainer that's ever lived and is definitely deserving of his "king of pop" title
2) Bruno Mars – He has a raw edginess to his music that really grabs me
3) Justin Timberlake – I love the way he uses harmonies and I totally feel the heart-pounding beat in his music. He's also a classy guy!
Do you have any recent or upcoming projects you'd like to share with us?
The video for my debut Single "Tidal Wave" has just been posted to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YEwOq2L8vU) and the video for my next Single entitled "Mistaken" will be released this fall. Throughout the summer, I'll be busy filming more videos as well as recording my first Christmas Single!
What do you like the most about Radio Airplay?
Radio Airplay is an awesome platform for Indie artists because it allows them to be heard all around the world and the importance of this kind of exposure simply can't be overstated.
Interesting story about the artist - Anything extra you would like to add?
At the age of 12, I used to busk on the streets of Victoria, British Columbia. I would entertain crowds while impersonating Michael Jackson.

Capcom Fighting Evolution
The 2D fighting genre in my opinion hit a rut when it got to this generation of consoles as we just haven't seen those stand out fighters like they did back on the previous consoles. We saw games like Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter that just took the whole gaming world by storm. Well now we see one of the leading companies of the fighting genre Capcom in their latest fighting game, Capcom Fighting Evolution for the Xbox. So does this game manage to capture the old great genre that is fighting? Read our full review to find out how just good or bad Capcom Fighting Evolution is!
For those of you who haven't kept a close watch on the fighting genre, you will find that 2D fighters have been hanging around for quite sometime now. There have been a lot of us who have thought that the 2D genre was really going to hit a close and yet we still have been seeing some of these 2D fighters coming out in the past few years. Well now we have another one of these 2D fighters that tries to really keep this genre alive. Can it?
In this game you have a few different modes to choose from, including Arcade, Versus, Training, and the most exciting of them all, Xbox Live support. This game of course has characters coming from Street Fighter, Red Earth, and Darkstalkers series. So Capcom Fighting Evolution takes characters from these three game series and tries to make this classic lineup work for to their favor.
The game has this "tag" system, which isn't much of a tag system as it is more of a two versus two system. I thought when I read that this game was going to play with a tag team style that you would be able to call on both characters at anytime during the fight and so it would be something like wrestling and would make for more strategy. However with that being said the game actually has you have two players and once one has been beaten then comes the next character in. And therefore that really releases any sort of new strategy to the fighting genre.
What really bothered about Capcom Fighting Evolution was that this game really didn't bring anything new to the table. This game takes some of the classic arcade fighters out there and really just didn't offer anything new in terms of gameplay. If you have played any of these old arcade fighters then you will realize that Capcom did not do anything to really improve anything with the gameplay in this game.
The game of course does have the Xbox Live support, but I mean that is just like playing against someone in the same room except you have the occasional lag. I just didn't find any reason to really dive deep into the Xbox Live support as this is just the same 2D fighting just with a different title. I must say that this game really could have been a whole lot better had they tried to work the gameplay a bit more and really tried to add some more depth to this game. This game really just could not get itself off the ground and really do anything new for this already aging 2D fighting genre.
What really bothered me about this game in the visual department were the character models which try to resemble the characters from the original games, and this just means that they don't look very good. The amount of detail on any of these characters really was very bad and just the look in my opinion should have been improved from their original state.
What saved the visuals for Capcom Fighting Evolution in my opinion are the environments, which are very colorful and very nicely detailed. I was impressed also with all of the variety the environments as well. The overall visuals in the game are nothing to really write home about, and would have been much better had the character models been upgraded.
Fun Factor
I am a huge fan of going back and playing classic games, but to pay money to play a game that really has nothing besides Xbox Live support that really was new for the fighting genre. I was not disappointed to see that Capcom Fighting Evolution just never did anything new nor was it all that fun in my opinion because all of this can be played on all of the old games for a lot less money. The Xbox Live support was a neat addition but not enough was done with it.
Capcom Fighting Evolution was really just anything it was made out to be. I mean the idea of being able to play as these classic Capcom fighters is a great one, but the execution was so bland and un-original that it just caused me to sit back and wonder why they didn't put more work into this game to really make it more of a new game rather then a rehash of old 2D fighters.
