Cameron Defends Home Plan as Data Show Limited Boom Role
Andrew AtkinsonU.K. Prime Minister David Cameron defended his Help to Buy housing initiative today as new figures eased concerns it's contributing to a property bubble.
The number of homes bought with the support of a government mortgage guarantee totaled 7,313 in the first six months of the program, equal to 1.3 percent of all loans completed, the Treasury said. Eighty percent went to first-time buyers.
The initiative, which is aimed at allowing people with little cash for a down payment to get onto the property ladder, has drawn criticism from politicians and economists as U.K. house prices surge by 10 percent a year, with even steeper gains in London. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said this month that Help to Buy should be restricted.
"Help to Buy has helped thousands of hardworking people to buy a new home, and crucially it is helping to increase the number of new homes being built," Cameron said during a visit to Derbyshire in central England. "It is an important part of our long-term plan to back those who want to get on and secure a better future for Britain."
The first part of Help to Buy -- interest-free loans covering 20 percent of the value of newly built homes costing as much as 600,000 pounds ($1 million) -- began in April last year. Mortgage guarantees for new and existing homes were made available in October.
London Role
According to the Treasury, mortgages supported by the government guarantee totaled 1.1 billion pounds ($1.8 billion) between October and March. In March alone, the number of homes purchased under the initiative stood at 2,657 compared with 2,090 in February.
Only 5 percent of the properties purchased were in London in the latest six months. Northwest England accounted for 14 percent and Scotland for 13 percent.
Almost half the homes changed hands for less than 125,000 pounds, while homes valued at more than 250,000 pounds accounted for just over 7 percent, reflecting the fact most properties were sold outside London and the southeast of England.
Only 189 homes valued between 350,000 pounds and 600,000 pounds were acquired using the guarantee program. That suggests lowering the ceiling on Help to Buy, as proposed by some critics, would have a only a small impact, said Citigroup Inc. economist Michael Saunders.
Financial stability officials at the Bank of England will assess next month whether action to cool housing demand is needed after Governor Mark Carney warned the strength of the market poses the biggest risk to Britain's economy.
'Small Beer'
"Looking at usage data available today, there is further evidence the scheme is unlikely to be inflicting significant damage, or fueling a London bubble," Victoria Clarke, an economists at Investec Securities in the capital, said in a note. "The scheme appears to be relatively small beer when laid out against transaction activity nationally."
The average value of homes sold with a mortgage guarantee was 151,597 pounds, compared with the U.K. average house price of 252,000 pounds, the Treasury said. Taking both Help to Buy programs together, 27,861 homes have been purchased with an average value of 191,295 pounds.

BRIEF-American Tower Corporation prices senior notes offering
* American Tower Corp - Notes will have an interest rate of 1.375% per annum
LONDON Feb 13 Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said on Wednesday there were limits to what further stimulus of the economy could achieve.
King, speaking to reporters after the central bank published its quarterly inflation report, said the Bank of England remained ready to do more to help the economy if needed.
"We must recognise, however, that there are limits to what can be achieved via general monetary stimulus - in any form - on its own," King said, adding that incentives to spend now reduced spending plans of households and businesses in the future.
The Bank of England has spent 375 billion pounds on buying government bonds but has held off from increasing the programme.
British governnment debt prices fell after King's comments.
King also told reporters that the Bank of England should not risk tightening monetary policy, even as it pushed back its expectations for when inflation would return to its target to early 2016, because the economy remained weak.
"Attempting to bring inflation back to target sooner would risk derailing the recovery and undershooting the target in the medium term," he said.

Welcome home Sweet Lucy. Reminds me of a beautiful song...
"Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds"
Lucy can now do all of these things because she has her freedom and the love of family!

The Kev Tev Fan Club
A group of family and close friends of Kev and Jennifer have established a fund in Kev's name to help with some of the financial burden associated with an extended illness.
As many of you know Kev was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma - an incurable form of blood cancer over seven years ago. Until recently, most people wouldn't even know he was sick, with his larger than life personality and zest for life despite his odds. While he has courageously battled this disease, he has made a wonderful life for Jen and his boys.
His doctors have informed him that he is in the final stages of this fight. Kev is a true family man who is a constant giver of his humor, love and words. With the love and support of Jennifer and the boys he always knew what he was living for. In the neighborhood, Kev could be found making a lemonade stand with his boys in the morning, going to the Sox or the circus in the afternoon and then planning a weekend getaway with the love of his life. Kev never let his burdens interfere with the life and love he brings to each day.
Please consider making a donation to support this beautiful family as they face this daunting and difficult time in their lives.
Thank you!!!
Much Love "" Jennifer, Andrew, Derek and Kyle
KevTev was a great family guy...a boloved wife and mother to three wonderful boys,,,,,rest in peace Kev...and know your family is ok, that you are watching down on them and protecting them,,,
Kev - although we last connected many years ago growing up in Sudbury, its hard to forget your warm, positive and funny personality. Best wishes to you and your family.
These friends of ours are some of the best people I know!! They have always gone above and beyond for everyone. They make me want to be a better person. Kev lights up my day every time I talk to him! Now they are in need of your help, if you can find it in your heart to help their family, I would greatly appreciate it and so would they!!!

Pages: 176
Ages: 18+
Finished: Aug. 4, 2012
First Published: 2009
Publisher: Inanna Publications & Eduction Inc.
Genre: Short Stories, Asian, Women's
Rating: 4/5
First sentence: "Friday night, after tucking her five-year-old daughter in bed, Sunni tried to relax on the couch, looking for something easy to watch on television."
Publisher's Summary: "Butterfly Tears is a collection of short fiction that depicts the
experiences of Chinese immigrant women facing the challenges of life in a new
country. The stories are set in different parts of China, Canada, and the United
States and examine Chinese women's cross-cultural experiences in North America
as well as women's issues and political discrimination in China. The stories, or
parts of stories, set in China give the reader interesting glimpses into events
such as the Cultural Revolution and Mao's death. In the title story, an ancient
Chinese legend about two lovers and memories of a violinist who commits suicide
during the Cultural Revolution haunt a young woman who fears her husband is
having an affair. Leaving her abusive husband, a woman and her young son in
A Beaten Mandarin Duck move to New Brunswick where they form a new
family with a visiting professor from China. Twin Rivers tells the
story of a female engineer who ends up in jail as a result of her love affair
with a married man. Feminism and changing male/female relationships form another
important theme that runs through many of the stories."
Reason for Reading: I enjoyed the author's novel The Long March Home.
A collection of 15 short stories which centre on the female experience of the Chinese woman, both during the Cultural Revolution in China and as the immigrant in Canada or the US. Most of the stories flip between modern day and the past bringing a resolution to some conflict that has long haunted the woman. Roy's writing is a joy to read. Her sentences flow with beautiful word choices, descriptive yet not flowery. Each story was a pleasure for me to read, even when I did not actually enjoy the theme of the story. Most of the stories I appreciated but there were a few whoppers that I just plain did not like or simply baffled me. This would be where Roy's feminist ideology came into play, something that eludes me to no end. However while those were stories I did not enjoy or "get" I still give props to the author for her delicious writing style. I look forward to Ms. Roy's next offering with delight.

2. Wild Onions - A 12yo girl moves to the dormitory during the Cultural Revolution and through her eyes we experience the absurdity of "school" in 1960s China. We glimpse the indoctrination and the psychological effects it has on the girl as her confusion grows between her loyalty to her country or her family. I always find reading about the Red Guards quite terrifying and this captured all those feelings plus had a modern day resolution that was satisfying. 5/5
3. Yearning - The story of a young woman's escape from Maoist China to Hong Kong and her yearning for freedom as she dreams of going to America. Love the insight into her mind as she leaves behind a mother, lover and new-found friend in free Hong Kong. 5/5
4. Frog Fishing - It is the day of Chairman Mao's death and two teachers are accused of verbally attacking Party leaders by another teacher. I really enjoyed this story for its pure storytelling and the look at how ready the people were for the changes that came with Mao's death. 5/5
5. A Woman of China - A more modern (1980s) story of a Chinese woman contemplating her life and status. Very feminist and I do not like or agree with this ideology at all. Both the husband and the wife seemed to be caricatures and did not ring true as real people. 3/5
6. Ten Yuan - a male factory worker in 1970s China tells about how his penchant for storytelling got him in trouble but ultimately how it changed his life for the better. This is simply a beautifully told story! Also gives insight into the workings of a factory in a communist environment. 5/5
7. Balloons - A sad story that represents how Chinese people now (from the 90s) are still just being reunited (or finding out what happened) with separated family during the Cultural Revolution. 4/5
8. Twin Rivers - This story was just awful. I couldn't stand it. An adulteress finds herself with no man when he breaks up with her because his wife and son are moving to Canada. She knew he was married from day one. After a year long affair she can't handle this, stalks and harasses him, ends up in jail and attempts suicide. Of course she (and the narrator) blames the man, her upbringing (in Communist China) and then the Western justice system rather than accepting any responsibility for herself. I suppose this is feminist literature. 2/5
9. Herbs - A Chinese woman is sent to the US to learn better English and stay with family friends by her abusive husband. However, upon arrival, she turns the other way and disappears into Western society creating a new life for herself. I enjoyed the writing as I have with all these stories and also enjoyed the woman's discoveries of the joys that come with living in the "free" world. However, her harbouring of incestuous feelings and the glee with which the reader is told 26 states allow marriage between cousins put a damper on any genuine feelings of "likeness" I had for the woman. 4/5
10. A Mandarin Duck - This theme once again! This time an abused immigrant woman has left and divorced her physically abusive husband for the sake of her son. She learns to live an independent life but her problem is that she's never learnt English very well, nor had the time to really do so. She longs for China, meets a Chinese man visiting for research purposes on 6 month terms. They start an affair, she is aware of his wife and daughter back home from the start but somehow thinks he'll give it all up for her. When he leaves and goes back home, her conclusion is she's once again been abused by another man!?, but this spurs her on to finally make changes in her life for her own sake. Well-written and enjoyable until the woman starts blaming the man for her own immoral conduct. 4/5
11. Noodles - A Chinese woman has recently joined her husband in Canada and she sets about learning English to make sure she can succeed in her new country. As time goes by she and her husband learn that they share different ideas and values when it comes to having children and raising them. 3/5
12. Ginkgo - As usual I thoroughly enjoy the author's engaging writing style and her wonderful turns of phrase. However, like some previous other stories, I just don't relate to the emotions of the characters in some of these stories, this included. Just before a young woman, Brook, moves the US for an arranged marriage she meets a young man and they have a profound attraction to each other (love at first sight?). Eight years later they run into each other in a restaurant in the US with their respective husband and girlfriend and both experience a yearning for each other. A bittersweet ending occurs. I enjoyed the story, but didn't really feel for the characters. The man treated his girlfriend like dirt, wouldn't marry her and then really treated her badly when he started fantasizing about Brook. Brook is obviously having feelings that a married woman (with children) has no right to be entertaining. Perhaps the ending is a saving grace for her. 4/5
13. Fortune-Telling - I honestly don't know what to think of this story, two Chinese immigrant woman go to see a fortune teller, one believes in the experience while the other is a skeptic. The woman who believes has her past brought up and her fear/hatred for men is brought to light, starting with her father. The possibility of a romantic relationship between the women is left hanging in the air, though it is only left to the imagination of the reader; it could easily be a close female friendship as well. I took this view but was still unappreciative of the man bashing. (3/5
14. Life Insurance - This is such a short story and a really touching one too. It's the story of a young Chinese woman living with her sister trying to gain her Independence by working odd jobs until she can speak English better. But then it turns into a love story and being true to one's self. Just a lovely little story. 5/5
15. Jing and the Caterpillar - Another very short story but perhaps my 2nd least favourite. It switches back and forth from China to Canada telling episodes of people becoming sick because of the spraying of pesticides. We are told all about the little caterpillar that is eating up and killing the trees and the various pesticides used through the years, each supposedly safer to humans than the one before. The message is very clear, don't use pesticides at all. There is even a little poem at the end about how caterpillars and humans are both living things. My question is: what about the trees? They are living things too, no? The scene at the end with the caterpillar nets all over the trees was not beautiful to me. Weird story. 3/5

Michael Ciuffo built this neat soil moisture sensor for his girlfriend, since she's had some bad luck with plants. He writes:
In the June 2012 issue of Nuts & Volts, they did a spread about making a soil moisture sensor with an iPhone interface:
And when I heard my girlfriend say that she has trouble remembering to water her plants, I put two and two together.
Most of the N&V article discussed the code required to interface with the iPhone, but the important part for me was that their soil moisture sensor was nothing more than a simple conductivity sensor. The more water in the soil, the lower its resistance.
Such a sensor doesn't measure soil moisture in any kind of universal unit, but for a single sensor in a particular soil sample, the measured conductivity is repeatable and proportional to the moisture level. I call these conductivity units "AMU"s or "Arbitrary Moisture Units".

Editors try to keep the momentum up here, by repackaging a few B-sides and a track off the two-disc British limited edition version of their debut into an EP of Rarities (though the concept may sit a little oddly considering the band's only been around for one album, a product of tracks leaked on blogs here and there). The disc's a for-fans-only affair, offering little in the way of creative insight or undiscovered gems. "Heads In Bags" has the Editors' trademark guitar-jangle, upbeat drum accompaniment, but it's a kind of paint-by-numbers song, relying on the atmosphere and timbre of Tom Smith's voice and the driving rhythms of the guitars and drums rather than any innately interesting melodic or harmonic tropes. It's consistent across four of the five tracks: "You Are Fading" turns U2 arpeggios into Editors thick-textured sound but misses that group's soaring triumph; "Colours" misses the point on its chorus, a repetition of melodic fragment that seems only half-formed. But the obligatory remix of the hit single—here it's the cicada remix of "Munich"—is actually quite successful, turning the surging original into a deep house crowd-pleaser, slow-enunciated vocals overlying a hyperactive synth riff. It's a minor uptick though: if this is a sign of things to come, get ready for the sophomore slump.

At a party last week we had the perfect opportunity to catch a straight girl becoming a lesbian. There's nothing like converting a horny straight girl over to my side. I shoved my lesbian friend Alice into the closet with the camera and told her where to focus. I ran to get this girl I know who just broke up with her boyfriend at the same party! There's nothing like a furious straight girl after breaking up with a jerk to seduce. They're so malleable, in more ways than one. Let me tell you when we whipped out our beautiful tasty nipples and started to tease and suck each other's hungry pussies she really turned the passion on. It's almost like her whole life she'd been waiting for the right sex crazes lesbian to show her how easy lesbian sex is. And now, I've got the lesbian sex tape to prove it!

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Horrendous video images indicate violation of International Law - UN expert[TamilNet, Friday, 28 August 2009, 22:23 GMT]Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, commenting on the video clip aired in British Channel-4 TV, allegedly showing Sri Lankan troops executing prisoners, stressed the need for an investigation, AFP reported. The images, which Alston described as "horrendous," indicate a serious violation of international law if found to be authentic, AFP reported Alston as saying. The video showed victims stripped naked and their hands crossed and tied behind their backs, when they were executed. "If the government's position [of categorically denying the allegations] is validated as a result of an inquiry, the international community can rest easy and the government will have been vindicated," AFP quoted Alston as saying. Alston also pointed out that he had asked permission to visit Sri Lanka on several occasions in recent years, but Colombo had not given him the green light, according to the AFP report. Sri Lanka Army soldiers action, of stripping naked the Tamil victims before summarily executing them, is more akin to what the Nazis did to the Jews, depriving their victims of the last shred of their humanity before dying," Professor Boyle of Illinois College of Law observed. in Sri Lanka's ruling party, Anura Priyadharshana Yapa, and Information Director Anusha Palpita said they had never heard of the group Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka which sent the video clip to Channel-4, adding that it could be a front organization for LTTE remnants attempting to pump oxygen to the dying organization, according Sri Lanka media. A UN press release issued on 9th May 2009 said: "The current humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka gives cause for deep concern, not only in terms of the number of civilians who have been and continue to be killed, but because of a dramatic lack of transparency and accountability." Philip Alston said in the same release, "[t]here is good reason to believe that thousands of civilians have been killed in the past three months alone, and yet the Sri Lankan Government has yet to account for the casualties, or to provide access to the war zone for journalists and humanitarian monitors of any type." British daily The Times on its 29th May issue revealed that at least 20,000 Tamil people were killed on the Mullaitivu beach by Sri Lanka Army shelling. Aerial photographs, official documents, witness accounts and expert testimony collected by the newspaper present clear evidence of an atrocity that comes close to matching Srebrenica, Darfur and other massacres of civilians, the papers editorial said. Confidential UN documents acquired by The Times record nearly 7,000 civilian deaths in the no-fire zone up to the end of April. UN sources said that the toll then surged, with an average of 1,000 civilians killed each day until May 19.

How about getting an inductive current meter..just clamps around the output CABLE, shows current being drawn inductively, (on/Off states) , Uses NO current AT all..and I'm sure can be modified to fit into any panel with a little engineering and care.. Doc

master disconnect blues
Hi Guys: Thanks for answering so quickly. I'm not very good at explaining myself. With the "Lifeline" going around the disconnect, it will carry up to 3 amps, (for ECU memory and the like). It will also provide enough power to my remote system that I can actuate the disconnect through the key fob so I can open the doors and windows. Unless I'm mistaken, you should have the same draw whether the disconnect is "On or off", because of the "Lifeline". A light bulb will stay on all the time, so that doesn't help. I'd like to be able to look in my car and be able to tell if the disconnect is on or off. American Autowire says they know of no way to do this, but I can't believe I'm the only guy in town who wants to know the position of his switch. I don't know if this explains my problem any better, but I'll keep trying. Thanks again,

Why not a Diode setup?
I'll have to think on how to do this......but I think it could be done. Is the disconnect electonicly controled? if so can you provide a simple wireing diagram? |
Doc here, Sorry bout that..I answered this post once and the post disappeared into cyber~space What I think your doing is confusing the Master Disconnect contacts with the "Keep Alive " bypass.. The Keep Alive Bypass will provide metered power 24/7/365 to memory, Alarm and poppers REGARDLESS of the State of the MDS (Master Disconnect Solenoid)...On or Off... The MDS , However will only be powered WHEN the contacts are ON and making connection to the battery, and cable to the starter, and main buss feed (the rest of the car's Electrical system)..and THIS wire will follow the state of the switch..( On/Off)... This is where you want your indicator lamp to connect..when the switch goes on, the power to the indicator is provided and the lamp lights...When it goes OFF..power from the MDS is removed, thus to the indicator, the lamp goes off.. Should be that simple.. Doc

Just to repeat this. Wire it so, when the disconnect is on (connected) the light is on. When disconnected the light is off.
Doc here, Yup! Doc

I think It can be done assuming you always have current flow in the system.
Here's the idea: You need to sense current flow in the keep alive wire. This can be done with a small voltage drop, like 3 diodes in series ( 2 might work better, but figuring that out that would require me to think too much). then put an LED in parallel but backwards with the dodes. If there is current flow through the system, there will be a voltage drop of ~2.1 volts across the 3 diodes which would be enough for the LED to light up. With the Master disconnect switched closed you won't get the current through the diodes, so the LED won't turn on. Important things; * You need diodes that can handle more than 3 amps. * you need a resistor in series with the LED to limit current flow. It looks good on paper! Keith |

Ohio State's Shannon Scott goes up for a shot against Morgan State's Justin Black during the first half today in Columbus.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
COLUMBUS — Shannon Scott scored a career-high 16 points and LaQuinton Ross, also starting for the first time as a junior, had 14 points and a personal-best 11 rebounds to lead No. 11 Ohio State past Morgan State 89-50 today.
Lenzelle Smith Jr. led the way with 18 points and spurred a first-half spurt for the Buckeyes, who improved to 93-18 in home openers and 89-22 in season debuts.
Much of the drama vanished early after Ohio State scored the first eight points and built a 26-point halftime lead.
Justin Black had 13 points, Ian Chiles 12 and Anthony Hubbard 11 for Morgan State, which was meeting the Buckeyes for the first time.
Sam Thompson added 14 points and freshman Marc Loving had 10 for Ohio State. Scott had seven assists to go with his 16 points, while Ross registered his first career double-double.

The long-dormant Czechoslovakian film industry began its Phoenix-like resurrection in the postwar years. Set some hundred years or so in the past, Bohemian Rapture is based on events in the life of famed Czech violinist/composer Josef Slavik. The story concentrates on Slavik's ongoing feud with the more celebrated Frederic Chopin, who accuses Slavik of stealing the affections of their mutual inamorata, Countess Anna Zasmucka.

We understand why the Ottawa County Road Commission can�t move up this fall�s planned resurfacing of Ottawa Beach Road. As Road Commission Chairman Tom Bird explained in an article in Thursday�s Sentinel, the $990,000 project involves federal funding and multi-step bureaucratic processes that can�t be summarily moved up six months, from post-Labor Day to pre-Memorial Day. What we want to know, though, is what other measures the road commission can take, before the tourist season starts, to deal with what amounts to an emergency situation.
No issue in 2014 has fueled the anger of Sentinel letter-writers as much as the condition of Ottawa Beach Road and Douglas Avenue, as the roadway is called in Holland Township, and the scheduling of repair work. A plague of potholes and ruts gives this road possibly the roughest ride of any major thoroughfare in the Holland area, and the fact that the road commission won�t get started on resurfacing until after Labor Day has struck many Northside residents as unacceptable. Making the situation more urgent is the fact that Ottawa Beach Road is the main route to Holland State Park (Michigan�s busiest) and thus plays a role in determining the overall image of Holland formed by tourists. It doesn�t do much for our reputation if visitors feel like they�re driving in the rural reaches of a developing country when they come here.
Are there any short-term patching or repaving measures the road commission can take to make Ottawa Beach Road minimally tolerable until the real repair work starts in the fall? If a flood washed out a major county road or an accident disabled a critical bridge, the road commission would consider that an emergency and at least implement stopgap measures to keep traffic moving. If for no other reason than the centrality of Ottawa Beach Road/Douglas Avenue to the local tourist trade, we have to consider the condition of the road today an emergency and respond accordingly.
Other government entities as well as the private sector may need to help the road commission, which like every other road commission and street department in the state is woefully short of funding. We should remember the cooperation and creativity that was applied when the River Avenue bridge was being rebuilt a decade ago. Rather than pushing all Northside-Southside traffic to 120th Avenue and U.S. 31 during reconstruction, extra public and private funds were raised to build a temporary span so traffic could continue to flow on River while a new bridge was construction.
In the meantime, we need to know why Ottawa Beach Road deteriorated to such an awful condition in the first place. If it�s because of soil conditions, the degradation should have been better anticipated and the repair work scheduled before the original date of 2017 (later moved up by the road commision to this fall). And if the road will only be resurfaced rather than reconstructed, how long can we expect that work to last?
For now, rather than lament what can�t be done, our priority should be to look for ways to make Ottawa Beach Road and Douglas Avenue a more tolerable ride this summer before more serious improvements are made.
Our View: Ottawa Beach Road should be treated as emergency situation

Kris Jenner
They've had quite the year of ups and downs, and the Kardashian Family is ready to just relax and enjoy the holiday season.
Filmed back in September, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians: A Very Merry Christmas" looks to be a fun-filled, light-hearted celebration of one of the hottest families in showbiz.
It was one of the highest-profile breakups of the year, and when Kris Jenner split with Bruce Jenner she became one of the most eligible bachelorettes in Tinseltown.
However, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" mastermind told Entertainment Tonight that she's not exactly itching to get back into the dating pool anytime soon.
They're always looking to give back, and the Kardashian Family killed two birds with one stone by de-cluttering their home and selling the goodies at a charity yard sale over the weekend.
Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian joined forces with Kris, Bruce, Kylie, and Kendall Jenner to host the event, with all donations going to the Greater Los Angeles Fisher House Foundation and the No Kid Hungry Woodland Hills organization.
She's been on the strict Atkins diet and intense exercise regime since giving birth to her daughter North West this summer, and Kim Kardashian looks better than ever.
During a family photo shoot in Malibu on Monday (November 4), the 33-year-old reality star took to her Instagram account to post a few pics of her family's ensembles.
Having a friendly chat with Kathie Lee Gifford during her weekly podcast today (October 30), Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner brought to light the details about life since she and husband Bruce Jenner separated after 22 years of marriage.
"We're just separated," the 57-year-old said on Kathie Lee and Company. "We are better people and happier just spending time apart than we are spending time together. It's just what we need to do right now."
Despite their recent separation, Kris Jenner was an eager attendee at her estranged husband Bruce Jenner's 64th birthday party on Sunday.
Photos from the big day were posted on social media by Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as their big sis Khloe Kardashian.
Keeping the family business in high demand, Kris Jenner made an appearance at the Kardashian Khaos store in Las Vegas on Saturday (October 26).
The high-powered momager wore a long-sleeved blue patterned dress with matching pointy heels as fans waited for a photo after buying a $150 package.
Her birthday itself brought a lavish proposal from her husband-to-be Kanye West, but the celebration was far from over as Kim Kardashian held her birthday party at TAO nightclub in Vegas on Friday (October 25).
Showing off her amazing post-baby body, the 33-year-old reality star wore a lacy white party dress that showed ample cleavage with a matching clutch and heels.
On cloud nine after her recent engagement, Kim Kardashian left her hotel with Kris Jenner in San Francisco on Tuesday (October 22).
The soon-to-be Mrs. West wore a knee-length dress with a lacy top and a fur coat as she stepped into her awaiting vehicle with her mom.
Stepping out for some delicious sushi, Kris Jenner headed over to Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood on Thursday evening (October 17).
Joined by E! News correspondent Ross Mathews, the reality television mogul donned an all-black attire and carried a large blue handbag as she made her exit.

In the first attack in Lahore, a teenage suicide bomber blew himself up when he was challenged by policemen guarding a Shia procession.
The attack occurred at Lahori Gate near Karbala Gamay Shah, a Shia 'imambargah' or prayer hall.
Lahore police chief Aslam Tareen said the bomber, who was 14- or 15-year-old, detonated his explosive vest when he was stopped for checking.
Besides the vest, the bomber was carrying explosives in a bag, he said. The face of the bomber, minus the skull, had been found by police, he said.
"The attacker detonated his explosive vest at the first layer of security, where policemen were checking people (joining the procession), Superintendent of Police (Security) Faisal Rana told reporters.
Thirteen people, including a woman and four policemen, were among the dead. Over 70 people were injured.
Zahid Pervez, the medical superintendent of Mayo Hospital, described the condition of 10 of the injured as critical.
The second bomber struck a short while later, targeting a police van in the Malir area of Karachi. Two policemen were killed and five others, including three policemen, injured in the attack.
The attacker, who was on a motorcycle, rammed into the police van shortly after two buses carrying Shia Muslims returning from a procession had passed the area.
Police officials said the bomber struck after the van prevented him from hitting one of the buses.
Officials told the media they had found the head of the bomber and sent it for DNA and forensic tests.
In Lahore, police chief Aslam Tareen said authorities had received alerts of possible attacks on Shia processions. He said the multi-layered security arrangement put in place by police had prevented the bomber from reaching the procession.
Search and sweep operations were being conducted in the city to trace terror suspects, he said.
State-run Rescue 1122 spokesman Fahim Jehanzeb said that the blast in Lahore occurred minutes before the Shia procession reached the spot.
A suspect was arrested from the site of the blast, other officials said.
Shia Muslims across Pakistan observed the 'chehlum' of Hazrat Imam Hussain on Wednesday and a large procession that originated from the old quarters of Lahore was to culminate at Karbala Gamay Shah in Bhatti Gate.
The attack occurred despite extensive security arrangements put in place in major cities and towns to protect Shia processions. About 6,000 security personnel were deployed to guard processions in Lahore alone.
An emergency was declared in hospitals across Lahore and Karachi following the blasts.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the attacks.

I'm still flying high off of a fantastic weekend in Chicago with friends and family and then three concerts in three states over three days. Seeing people in L.A. and then back in Phoenix with another friend at the Green Day concert. Yesterday I was pretty exhausted but made it to both work and class. Once I got home I had trouble sleeping all night. Go figure.
Other people's insanely embarrassing stories always put me in a good mood. these are pretty incredible.

leave for hawaii in less than 48 hours! first vacation alone with my wife since we started the family 5 years ago! finish home i.v.'s tonight! i am ready for some fuckin' and relaxin'...we have a 2 bedroom penthouse suite awaiting us, i think the 2nd bedroom will be the fuck den.
sounds like a blast!
despite having stressful dreams last night, i am also in a good mood. still haven't had our re-org meeting, so i'm not doing much today. fark still feels like home & i'm in contact with an old friend. camping this weekend with at least 16 of my friends and sharing a tent with a tall, dark-haired, handsome man who has a giant bag of shrooms to share. life is good
Not trying to be a downer because I feel great, BUT does anybody else get a little skeptical when feeling extra good? Like, you're feeling better than you're supposed to be so something bad will happen to bring you back down and keep you grounded?
Great, I have the insecurities of a woman!
"She's as cooooold as ice!"
I honestly considered deleting the post before it got a response. I figured it was a common feeling, just wanted to make sure. It's weird, is it a personal reminder to truly appreciate the joy? Or is it a premonition that what goes up must come down?
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
so you're saying now my plane is going to crash on friday? this is on you, man...
I feel it's an awareness thing, personally. The vast majority of times I have felt skeptical without anything negative ever happening. Maybe it's the subconscious providing perspective in order to keep the ego in check.
I can't wait to hear the new Dungen!
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Well, without reviewing a map of the suite, I can't be sure which is bedroom 1 and which is bedroom 2, so i can't properly gauge the oddness until I have that information.

The cards I am showing you today are cards that were the first published Lawn Fawn cards! Yay! This one above has a fun story! We we first started designing, we decided to try making a photopolymer stamp at home. (My biochemistry degree came in handy! Haha!) The stamp we made was of the dog from Critters in the 'Burbs. I made this card right away and then months later decided to submit it, and it was accepted by CARDS for the May 2010 issue! I couldn't believe the first Lawn Fawn card ever made was accepted! Thank you so much to CARDS for taking a leap of faith with us!
This card also appeared in the CARDS May 2010 issue. This one doesn't have as fun of a story, but I was over the moon when I knew Lawn Fawn would be in a publication!
This last card was the first published card in a Paper Crafts publication, Card Creations 8. Thank you so much to Paper Crafts for taking a leap of faith with us, too! This has a funny story in that it has Petite Florals's original name in the supplies list, "Petite Petals". A printing error in final production of Petite Florals gave the set a new name that we've come to love! :)
Thanks for following my trip down memory lane! :)

The resilient plastic coating of the WT310 ensures the internal components are protected from damage in the event of accidental drops, knocks or even heavy pressure. Resistant to movement, the internal solid state drive (SSD) provides additional storage reliability, so it's perfect for those long-haul business trips.
A range of advanced security and data management features are pre-installed on the tablet, including Intel® Anti-Theft – a software package that reduces the risk of unauthorised access – and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which safeguards locally stored critical data. IT managers can also monitor, maintain, repair and upgrade the WT310 remotely, thanks to the Intel Active Management Technology on selected models, ensuring mobile professionals are always running the latest system updates.
Connectivity potential
Multiple connectivity options make it easy to output content on to a large screen or projector, ideal for meetings and presentations. An HDMI® micro port allows content to be displayed on a larger Full HD screen without any loss of detail, while the Intel Wireless Display allows users to transfer multimedia to a compatible TV set or projector without the need for cables.
For more intensive writing tasks, an optional docking cradle features additional ports for connecting to a keyboard, mouse or external hard drive. Additional HDMI® ports provide extra flexibility for outputting content and the full-size USB 3.0 port and SD card slot allow for storage to be extended if necessary. Furthermore, the cradle's Gigabit LAN port ensures fast and safe access to a corporate network.
The WT310 features Wi-Fi b/g/n or a/g/b/n, as well as support to HSPA+/LTE networks for fast and reliable wireless broadband connectivity, and data transfer between other mobile devices such as smartphones is quick thanks to Bluetooth 4.0 as standard.

The 1945 New Zealand rugby league season was the 38th season of rugby league that had been played in New Zealand.
International competitions[edit]
New Zealand played in no international matches due to World War II.
In December Blackball's Ces Mountford and Ponsonby's Brian Nordgren signed with Wigan. The New Zealand Rugby League protested, however Wigan pointed out that the international transfer ban imposed in 1937 had lapsed in 1941.[1]
National competitions[edit]
Northern Union Cup[edit]
West Coast again held the Northern Union Cup at the end of the season.
Inter-district competition[edit]
The West Coast defeated Canterbury 60-5 at Wingham Park and 35-10 in Christchurch.
Auckland defeated South Auckland 46-7 at Carlaw Park and 26-13 in Huntly before defeating Wellington 46-7 at Carlaw Park and 47-17 in Wellington. They then hosted the West Coast, defeating them 8-7 after Warwick Clarke converted a late penalty goal.[1]
Auckland included Roy Clark, Brian Nordgren, Pita Ririnui, Travers Hardwick, Warwick Clarke, Bernie Lowther and Roy Nurse. The West Coast included Jack Forrest, Charlie McBride, Ces, Bill and Ken Mountforld while Canterbury included Ces Davison, Pat Smith, Ray Brown and Arthur Gillman.
The first Schoolboy tournament took place with the West Coast, Canterbury and Auckland competing in Greymouth. The West Coast side was captained by George Menzies and Auckland were captained by Bruce Robertson.[2][full citation needed]
Club competitions[edit]
Otahuhu won the Auckland Rugby League's Fox Memorial Trophy and Rukutai Shield.[3] North Shore won the Roope Rooster and Stormont Shield.
Cyril Eastlake joined Ellerslie.[4] Otahuhu included Claude Hancox, Joffre Johnson and Johnson's three brothers; Ivan, Mick and Norm. Ponsonby included Brian Nordgren, who scored 267 points for the club during the season. The North Shore Albions included Bruce Graham, Verdun Scott, captain Roy Clark, Jack Russell-Green, Les Pye and Ivor Stirling.[1]
Waterside won the Wellington Rugby League's Appleton Shield.[3]
Sydenham won the Canterbury Rugby League's Massetti Cup.[3]
The competition consisted of Waimairi-Woolston-Hollywood, Addington, Hornby, Sydenham and Linwood.[2]

I'm a fit healthy 27 year old male. I'm 72kgs and 183cm tall. i work out regularly and lead an active lifestyle but for as long as i can remember i have had a little pot belly (below my bellybutton) and love handles. However the rest of me is very lean. It has always made me uncomfortable and honestly i think out of proportion.
After contemplating every type of new lipo (smartipo,vaser,bodytite etc) i decided that coolsculpting would be my best option because it's non invasive, seems to be having good results and it was in my price range.
I had the procedure done today on my love handles and i'm going back tomorrow for the lower abs. The procedure was fine, just a little uncomfortable with the cold and the suction but totally bearable. I was watched movies on my ipad.
The treatment took an hour per side. When finished the nurse removed the machine and the treated area looked like a pink/red frozen chicken breast!! it felt like it too! very strange but kinda interesting. I have a few little bruises from the suction but i'm not too concerned about that.
For the first 10minutes after, the treated area was kinda sore, numb and cold, but it feels fine now.. it's just red and tender to touch.
For now i'm just gonna keep drinking as much water as i can and hopefully start running and working out again tomorrow.
I guess i'll keep you updated

Art Basel Miami Beach 2012: Living Vicariously Through Arts Coverage by Miami New Times
Kevin Cannon |
If we didn't have our own First Friday plans (stay tuned for tomorrow's field guide, map, and new limited edition sticker), and about $1000 in our pockets, you better believe we'd be jet-setting to Miami to check out Miami Basel.
The annual celebration of contemporary art is one of the world's largest and showcases visual art and design as well as video, performance, music, and shenanigans by industry legends and emerging artists alike.
See also: - Art Basel Miami Beach 2012 Art Fairs and Gallery Guide - Basel Tov!: Miami New Times' Guide to Art Basel - Art Basel Satellite Fair Guide
If you're lucky enough to be on your way (or there already), be sure to stay tuned to our sister publication Miami New Times for updated coverage, illustrated guides, reviews, and art news. And if you're like us and staying close to home for the weekend, feel free to join in on some serious eye candy web gawking.
Miami's Carlos Suarez De Jesus and Hannah Sentenac and our arts/culture sister blog, Cultist will be checking out the scene and reporting back. They write:
More than 50,000 visitors will flock to Dade this week for hours of artistic insanity, all headquartered at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Inside, 260 of the world's top galleries will showcase art worth a total of $2.5 billion -- roughly the GDP of Guyana. With a resurgent economy and booming art market, experts expect record sales topping $500 million.
But Basel's impact resonates miles beyond the Monet-swapping confines of the convention center. Twenty-two satellite fairs will convert the entire tip of the peninsula into a rambling art-lovers' paradise, from South Beach to Wynwood to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and beyond. And dozens of concerts, club parties, and DJ sets will turn the 305 into a mini South by Southwest extravaganza.
Stay tuned to Miami New Times and Cultist for more info.

Tax by Design, the final report from the Mirrlees Review, presents a picture of coherent tax reform whose aim is to identify the characteristics of a good tax system for any open developed economy, to assess the extent to which the UK tax system conforms to these ideals, and to recommend how it might realistically be reformed in that direction. Drawing on the expert evidence in Dimensions of Tax Design, it provides an integrated view of tax reform.

Sulgrave Manor House
Written and researched by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska
Location: Sulgrave is 7 m east of Banbury in the village of Sulgrave, and to the west of B4525 from Banbury to Northampton.
Structure: modest stone-built home.
Importance: Sulgrave Manor was owned by the ancestors of George Washington, first President of the United States.
Lawrence Washington was born in 1500 to John Washington and Margaret Kytson, and died February 19, 1581/2. Lawrence was a wool merchant. His first wife Elizabeth died without issue. Lawrence married his second wife, Anne Aimee (Amy) Pargiter (b. 1504) in 1538, in Sulgrave, England. Anne was the daughter of Robert Pargiter of Greatworth, near Sulgrave. In 1539, Lawrence bought the land surrounding the present estate, which amounted to about 1250 acres. The two story hall-block was built, by Lawrence Washington, in the 1560's. Lawrence's first born was Robert Washington (b. 1544) and he inherited Sulgrave Manor. Robert married Elizabeth Light in 1565. Their son Lawrence Washington was born in 1568. Robert died circa 1620 in Nether Boddinton, Northamptonshire, England. The estate was sold to a cousin named Lawrence Makepeace in 1610. The house left the Washington family in 1659. This was three years after Colonel John Washington, President George Washington's great-grandfather emigrated to Virginia. A kitchen and parlor were added at right angles to the hall block in 1700. After a time the house was owned by farmers and was reduced in size. It was bought just before World War II by an Anglo-American charitable trust. At this time, it was a shabby farmhouse. Sir Reginald Blomfield carried out a tactful restoration of the surviving portions of the manor. He also added a caretakers house. Furniture and Washington memorabilia was added and the house was open for public view in 1921. The Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington hangs in the hall.
Sulgrave Manor
Sulgrave, Banbury
Oxon 0X17 2SD.
The frontage of the manor is not as wide as it was in Tudor Times. The entrance to the house in Tudor Times was by the south. Above the door, in plaster, is the royal arms of Queen Elizabeth I, complete with crowned lions, fleur-de-lys, a Tudor Rose, and the initials "ER" standing for "Elizabeth Regina". Since Lawrence Washington was a wool merchant, there are lop-eared sheep and a lamb represented on this entrance as well.
Above the arms is a triangular device with small birds on each side. Below the window is the Washington Coat of Arms: three mullets (stars) and two bars (stripes).
This porch was dated 1636. with a sundial over the door. The doorway is a four-centered arch, and the Tudor style dripstone and seat gable make an attractive entrance to the house. The dark stone is interspersed with the lighter material. This is the ironstone of the district which is blended with the Cotswold oolite, which can be found in Northamptonshire, England.
"Cotswold oolite" - In time shallow tropical seas, rich in life covered the clay. Over millions of years, sediments derived from the shells of marine organisms and from coral were formed to give limestone. In the Cotswolds this limestone deposit is high in shell and pebble content and is known as inferior oolite. If you look very closely at limestone you will find it is made up of tiny spherical particles, called ooliths, cemented together to form a texture rather like that of fish roe. Today it is used mainly in road building and lime burning. |
Sulgrave Manor is an example of the vernacular architecture of Northampton County.

Onggo, B S S (2008) Parallel discrete-event simulation of population dynamics. In: Winter Simulation Conference, 2008. WSC 2008. :. IEEE Computer Society, pp. 1047-1054. ISBN 978-1-4244-2707-9
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Research in parallel simulation has been around for more than two decades. However, the number of papers reporting on its application to real world problems is limited. At the 2002 PADS conference, researchers discussed the need to go beyond synchronization and performance issues, and, in particular, to demonstrate that parallel simulation could be used in real world applications outside military and network simulations. Since then, we have seen an increase in the number of papers on the parallel simulation applications in areas such as operations management and the physical sciences. This paper advocates the application of parallel simulation in population dynamics which is often used as the basis for policy planning and analysis. In this paper, we show how the simulation model is implemented using the ¿sik parallel simulation library. We conduct some experiments to measure the simulation performance. The result shows that good event parallelism can be achieved.
