text:
A provision that allows the original issuer of a fixed income instrument to buy back (repurchase) part of the debt issue or complete retiring the bond. Usually this call provision stipulates a specific time frame under which the bond can be called. Multiple call dates are mentioned. The price to be paid to bond holders and interest is defined. The call price is usually higher than fair value but decreases as the bond closes maturity. The difference between the call price and fair value is known as call premium.
It is beneficial to the issuer as he can call back the bond in case interest rates have fallen and gain or continues to make interest payments when interest rates rise. The gain materialises as new debt can be issued at lower interest rate instead of making higher repayments on the old debt. As there is a risk associated with a callable bond that it might be called back, they trade at higher returns (lower price) viz a viz comparable non callable bonds. The present a reinvestment risk as interest the decrease might trigger calling of bond and this will lead to retiring of bond at higher interest rate leaving investor with cash to be invested in lower interest rate bonds. Further, call provision also limits the possible price appreciation of a bond as price of a callable bond will be as high as call price only when interest rates fall. As a result, the true return is usually less than yield to maturity for a callable bond.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Call Provision along with its overview.

Monday was the official kick off of the 2008 Consumer Electronic Show held in Las Vegas, at the Las Vegas Convention Center/Hilton Hotel and the Sands/ The Venetian. Atelier is in the city of sins to cover this 4-days internationa
l tradeshow for you.
Discover the Consumer Electronic Show
C.E.S. stands for Consumer Electronic Show. The CES is the opportunity for manufacturers, retailers, content providers and creators, broadband developers, wireless carriers, cable and satellite TV providers, installers, engineers, corporate buyers, government leaders, financial analysts and the media - from 140 countries - to attend the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, and the North America's largest annual tradeshow of any kind. It's sponsored, produced and managed by the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA), which is the trade association working to grow the consumer electronic industry.
Let's first take a glance at some key numbers about the show with the Fun Facts:
The International CES is the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow.
Exhibit space for CES covers more than 1.7 million net square feet of space – equivalent to 35 football fields.
It would take 2.5 years to meet individually with each of CES' 2,700 exhibitors outside of the show.
CES is the global meeting place for top international government officials and technology executives from 140 countries, representing nearly 75% of all United Nations member states.
There are 25,000 international attendees – 10 times the number of athletes who competed in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games
The number of slot machines in Las Vegas' Clark County is equal to the number of CES attendees - more than 140,000.
12,000 content and entertainment executives come to the show, which is more than two years worth of feature film releases in theaters worldwide
CESweb.org gets an average of 100,000 visitors per day during the week of CES – three times the population of Monaco.
32,320 hamburgers were consumed at the 2007 International CES, enough to feed one person a burger a day for more than 88 year.
The average U.S. household has 25 consumer electronic products in it and U.S. consumer electronics sales should exceed $160 billion in 2007.

And today's industry leaders sharing their insight and vision first-hand will be the Chairman and CEO of Comcast Corp Mr. Brian Roberts, and Chairman and CEO of General Motors Corp. Mr. Rick Wagoner.
A bit of history
The first CSE took place in New York City back in the summer 1967 where 250 exhibitors and 17,500 attendees gathered. Since then, the International CES has grown by more than 8 times. For last year International CES, more than 2,700 exhibitors, filling more than 1.8 million net square feet of exhibit space, showcased their latest products and services to more than 140,000 attendees.

Jontahan Bouzanquet from Noosa Lifestyle Real Estate has just listed a new property in Tewantin at 133 Griffith Avenue.
When Jonathan took on the listing, the property had been on the market for a number of months and to be honest it was looking real tired and in need of a makeover.
As part of his service he arranged for the property to be given a facelift including re-painting, re-tiling and some new doors and fittings and it has transformed this ugly duckling into something of a swan.
I think it also shows how to market a property in a tough market

Longford County Council and locals object to
development of sludge facility in Mullahoran
Longford County Council has objected to the development of a sludge composting facility at Mullahoran in Co Cavan.
A second planning application in respect of the proposed development was lodged with Cavan County Council earlier this year, however together with major objections by locals living in the vicinity of the development and the objections of Longford local authorities, Cavan Co Council has now requested further information in respect of the matter.
In July of this year, Rodney Wilton lodged the second planning application with Cavan Co Council in respect of the development with the intention of changing the use of the existing mushroom compost facility at Carnagh, Kilcogy to that of a municipal Sludge Composting Facility. Also included in the application was, a change of use and upgrading of the existing main process buildings to facilitate sludge composting activities; a change of use of three composting tunnels; proposed new bio-filter infrastructure to be positioned over the upgraded composting tunnels; the development of "a new advanced sewerage treatment unit" and storage tank to accommodate staff toilet/wash-room facilities located in the existing offices; the construction of two new storm water attenuation areas including by-pass separators; the construction of a designated refuelling area; removal of the existing bridge and construction of a new bridge in the revised location across the existing river as well as all ancillary works.
In a letter to Cavan County Council, Longford County Council stated in its objections to the proposed development that "the first serious concern to be raised relates to the issue of malodorous emissions to which the proposed development might give rise to, given its nature and similarity of the proposed use of the site to that previously carried on by Greenhill Composting Ltd".
The local authority went on to cite that the operator's use of the site – which lies within 600m of the Longford County Boundary – had, over the years, given rise "to serious and widespread complaints" regarding obnoxious odours which emanated from the site.
"Further, it has been indicated that the bio-filter system will only be 'verified' once the facility is fully installed and that a monitoring plan will only be submitted to the planning authority for its agreement at that stage," the submissions went on to state. "Evidently, with no input from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – as was the case with the previous malodorous Greenhills Composting Ltd – regulation will only involve on-site subjective assessment and annual monitoring."
Longford County Council went on to say that it also had concerns for water quality in the area as a direct result of the development. "There is the potential for the current proposal to impact adversely on the water quality of the River Erne along the section immediately to the north west of the site which forms the country boundary with Longford, and also on the waters of Loch Gowna into which the Erne flows with shorelines in the adjacent townslands of Toome and Kilmore [Mullinalaghta]," it stated. "Finally, the potential for HGV traffic servicing the proposed development to traverse the minor county road network of the adjoining north-east Longford area is of further serious concern."
A number of local people in the area – including families on the Mullinlaghta side of the site's boundary have also lodged objections with Cavan County Council and one member of the community who spoke to the Leader recently about the matter said, "the stench from a sludging facility such as this would be unbearable and we would also be very concerned about the pollution of the River Erne".

As you begin to research housing options for your aging loved one's golden years, you'll probably hear two terms used over and over: independent living and assisted living. Before you can decide whether Oklahoma assisted living or independent living is best for your situation, you need to understand what each option offers. Many people have misconceptions about these common terms so we will help bring clarity to the differences for you.
Perhaps the best way to explain independent living is by looking at interchangeable labels for this senior-living arrangement. Independent living facilities are also known as 55+ communities, retirement communities, active adult communities and senior apartments. Usually, seniors live in their own dwelling on a property that provides common areas where residents can easily gather and socialize.
Independent living facilities, in a sense, are like members-only clubs. These facilities are more about convenience than hands-on help. Because these senior apartments take care of landscaping, maintenance, housekeeping, transportation and even meal preparation, seniors have more time to enjoy their lives and their neighbors, who are in the same general age range as they are.
As you may assume, assisted living facilities have staff available to assist residents with such tasks as cleaning and laundry, meal preparation, laundry, bathing and minor medical needs. One common misconception of assisted living facilities is they are for seniors with serious medical conditions, includign dementia. That is not the case. Assisted living facilities provide mild to moderate care, organize social events and activities and operate shuttle services to transport residents to run errands.
In general, assisted living communities in OKC provide a safety net for seniors who may find tasks they used to be able to do on their own have become more difficult. Assisted living facilities provide the extra help they need. Unlike independent living facilities, seniors who reside in assisted living in Oklahoma City have round-the-clock access to medical care providers.
If your elder relative has early signs of dementia, physical limitations that make it difficult for them to bathe or do other simple household tasks or has an injury or illness that requires routine medical supervision, assisted living is probably the smart option. Additionally, if your loved one is able to live alone now but is frail and seems to be getting weaker, assisted living is probably the best option as well.
The last thing you want to do is move your aging relative to an independent living facility and then have to uproot them again in the near future to move to assisted living. If your loved one is robust and in relatively good health but simply wants to downsize, independent living could be ideal. It's a good idea to visit both types of facilities so you can get a feel for what services and amenities each has to offer.
Even bringing up the idea of considering a move to assisted living in Oklahoma City can sometimes be challenging. Often, a senior's reluctance and fear stems from misconceptions about what assisted living facilities are like. If you are beginning a dialogue about this subject with your relative or friend, we encourage you to contact us at Village at Oakwood to schedule a visit. Once you and your loved one see our facility and meet our staff and other residents, you'll feel much more comfortable about the prospect of transitioning to assisted living!

Liven up your Fall wardrobe with these five fabulous color combinations from Life as MOM contributor Rena.
All Photos: Rena
Fall is here and the weather is getting cooler. Here are five color combinations to try out this season. (Click on the colors choices to see more outfit pictures.)
Cobalt and Mocha
Just like water and land, these two colors go together naturally. Cobalt could also go nicely with a light tan.
Mustard and Black
Pull out that little black dress and add some pops of color with a mustard accessory (think sweater, necklace or tights).
Rust and Navy
This is the Fall version of my personal favorite combo turquoise and orange.
Teal and Mint
These two colors are both on the same side of the color wheel and compliment each other so nicely.
Cranberry and Plum
These two colors are so rich and full and see a lot this season (Don't their names just make you think Thanksgiving?!).
Dig into your wardrobe and mix around pieces you already own. And feel free to come up with your own color combinations! The possibilities are endless.
What's your favorite color combo for Fall?
Rena, aka "the girl with the smile", is an optimistic style blogger in San Diego. Learning about fashion through trial & error (high school years were pretty awkward), she loves fashion and the ability to create a look and boost self-confidence through clothing. Since Rena lives with all men (husband and two sons), she needed an outlet for her fashion knowledge, so she started the blog The Girl with the Smile.

This is a true account, and I have a witness to attest to my honesty.
While at Barnes and Nobel, I looked for Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich. I don't think it's a secret that I love her books.
Two weeks ago they had it stock, but after her latest book had come out June 21st, it was nowhere to be found. It was on the markdown shelf for $6.98, but of course, I didn't buy it because I was hoping I'd find it Big Lots for an even $6.00. This has been the case before, but of course did they not only not have it, neither did Barnes and Nobel by the time I went back.
I had all but given up hope until I stopped to Barnes and Nobel with my daughter today. This time I wanted to buy a Sue Grafton book.
I scanned the bargain shelf for it, and we walked away when a book fell to the floor. This is one of those moments. I didn't drop the book, why pick it up, right? I walked over and picked it up, what other self-respecting writer wouldn't have done the same thing.
There on the table the book fell from was Sizzling Sixteen. I told my daughter that god wanted me to have that book. I saw the strange looks from the other customers, but I don't care. I had my book. Side note: sorry Sue I'll buy your book next time because I found a drawing book for my daughter.

The dinner was a little nontraditional, with the turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce served together in a sandwich-style pita wrap instead of on a plate.
But the spirit was vintage Thanksgiving as 22 people from different cultures gathered around a table to feast and talk about common dreams.
"It's about the message, not the meal," said Barbara Cheives, president of Toward a More Perfect Union, one of two organizations serving a multicultural holiday lunch in West Palm Beach on Monday. "Thanksgiving speaks to who we are. This is a great start to bring people together."
The American Jewish Committee's local offices started things rolling when America's Table: A Thanksgiving Reader was published by their national headquarters earlier this month. The organization, which promotes unity and democracy, hoped that public and private activities would be built around the 15-page lyrical guide designed to be read aloud at Thanksgiving meals.
Southeast Regional Director William Gralnick envisioned something closer to the original holiday. He enlisted Cheives' organization to help bring different groups to the table. They represented several faiths and the Hispanic, Haitian and African-American communities.
Gralnick created an easy atmosphere -- there were no formal "issues" discussions on Monday and swapping business cards was as close as it came to politics -- so leaders with divergent agendas could come together under good circumstances.
"It's important they get to know each other when nothing is wrong so when something is wrong, they can work together," Gralnick said.
Besides turkey wraps and cookies, those attending shared something of themselves. They took turns reading from America's Table, which honors the nation's diversity and says, "We are each responsible for keeping America on course."
Some then spoke of their Thanksgiving memories, Gralnick going first.
"Thanksgiving always has been a big holiday for me, as all my grandparents were born in other countries and did not have easy lives there," he said. His Jewish grandmother always told him how grateful she was to be an American. As a child, she had watched, terrified, when Russian cossacks swept through her Romanian village, killing her neighbors.
Kelvin Bledsoe, community development director for the Urban League of Palm Beach County, talked of handing out food to starving Somalians as an Army officer on a Thanksgiving 1993 relief mission.
"I can guarantee you that if you don't find a way to bring people together, it leads to destruction," he told the group.
Copies of America's Table: A Thanksgiving Reader are available free online at www.ajc.org.

Today on Facebook, a massage therapist posted this:
Why are some people so rude? A person walks into the chiropractor I work for in the middle of the hour without an appointment. They know I live in the area so they demand that they get a massage from me right this moment. … First my phone rings and … I am on the phone … I do not answer my phone not taking a chance that I will loose [the call I'm on] … when I do not answer my phone my door bell rings. I do not answer my door. … When I was done I went over to see what the fuss was about person left mad but they did make an appointment with me for next day. Should I say something to this person tomorrow about them showing up without an appointment and demanding I drop everything …
I wish I could say that this is an isolated incident, but there isn't a week that goes by that I don't read something similar to this on Facebook or Google+ or in my email inbox. It seems to happen pretty often and always leaves the therapist a bit perplexed on how best to handle this situation.
The customer is always right until the customer is wrong
We've been told time and again that the customer is always right. The best companies offer outstanding customer service. The way to differentiate yourself is to go above and beyond – exceed your customer's expectations, delight the customer, etc.
These are all incredibly effective business techniques and I will not be telling you to abandon them. I will tell you, there are limits.
Good Boundaries Make for Healthy Relationships
If you've ever taken one of my ethics classes, you've heard me say this. I believe this with all my heart. I also believe that people who work in the helping professions, myself included, have some seriously soft boundaries. We want to help people. We are willing to make sacrifices to help people. We go out of our way to help people.
We squeeze a client into an already packed schedule
We work late to accommodate a client's work schedule
We offer discounts and sliding scale to make our services affordable to people of limited means
On a limited scale, and for very select instances, these can make a regular client a die hard fan. But too often, massage therapists allow this to become the norm for their practice. This is the express lane to burnout.
You have to set clear boundaries
You don't have to get all weird about this. Just post your normal working hours and policies. "By appointment only" "Closed weekends" "Available Mon-Fri, 10am – 6pm by Appointment Only" "To schedule an appointment, please call ….." "Please be sure to provide 24 hours notice for cancellation"
Then stick with them. Quit making exceptions. You do not owe your clients on-demand massage and 24/7 availability. There is no such thing as a massage emergency. If they are that desperate, they should see a doctor or visit an emergency clinic.
Rewarded Behavior Gets Repeated
That's so important, I'm going to repeat it
Rewarded Behavior Gets Repeated
Do you enjoy being paid what you're worth? Reward that behavior.
Do you enjoy regular work hours? Reward that behavior.
Do you enjoy having time to spend with your family and friends? Reward that behavior.
Do you dislike getting paid less than you're worth? Quit rewarding that behavior with discounts.
Do you dislike having to open the office on your day off? Quit rewarding that behavior by scheduling off-hours appointments.
Do you dislike having your personal time interrupted with scheduling calls and last minute drop-ins? Quit rewarding that behavior and only reply to voice mails during normal working hours.
That last one is one that I always seem to be working on. I'm connected all the time. It's tempting to just answer a client email on a Sunday afternoon since I'm on the computer catching up on my blog reading or Netflix. But I've quit because they started getting pissy with me when I didn't answer them on a Sunday. I realized I had been rewarding the weekend interruption. I've stopped that. Mostly. (ok, I still need to work on this).
The customer is never right when they get all stalker-y on you
This is an alarming trend I'm hearing about more frequently. Clients following us to the grocery store, clients calling our homes, clients invading our personal lives. I've had a couple of clients call my home to schedule an appointment when I didn't immediately return their calls on the weekend. Needless to say, this is always a big red flag. Any client who crosses over that line and begins calling you at home or coming to your home and ringing the bell because you don't answer your phone should be made a former client. Immediately.
It wasn't clear in the example above whether the client came to the door or someone from the clinic did, but in either case, the therapist needs to have a very firm conversation with the offender.
How to handle the clinic
The clinic personnel need to be made aware what your availability is and whether you ever take drop-ins. They also need to be reminded to respect your personal time and to never come knocking on the door unless they are concerned about your physical safety.
How to handle the client
If this is the first time the client has ever done this, you are allowed to have a firm conversation with the client about respecting your personal time. Remind them of your office hours and preferred means of scheduling. DO NOT APOLOGIZE to the client for not being available to them or for not answering your door (that's rewarding the behavior). Explain very clearly that, if this ever occurs again, you will not be seeing them as a client.
If this is not the first time the client has done this, you are to have a firm conversation with the client explaining that you will not be seeing them again in the future. Do not apologize for this. Do not refer them to another therapist (would you want to be sent a client like this?). Fire the client immediately. You are even allowed to do this on the first occurrence. You are never obligated to put up with this kind of behavior.
If you became an MT because you want to help people, Huzza! Loving what you do and having a purpose in your life is rewarding and fulfilling. But, sometimes
Setting clear boundaries can be the best way to help someone
It's good for you and your self care. It's good for your client, too, whether they realize it. By respecting your boundaries, they are making sure that you don't burn out, get injured from overwork, and continue to love your work. This will keep you in business, and helping them, for the long term.
You are not a doormat – so quit lying down and letting people walk all over you. Stand up for yourself. Have that talk with the client. It's difficult and uncomfortable, but necessary if you are to have a long career. The therapist in our example is right to assert herself in this situation. I don't envy her the conversation she is going to have to have, but I support her fully in protecting her personal time.
Have you ever had this happen? What advice would you give someone in this situation? Let's hear it in the comments below.

YOU'VE heard of the Celtic huddle, now here's the Gremio puddle.
Brazilian footballer Douglas dos Santos was spotted relieving himself on the opposing team's pitch before a match with Fluminense at the Maracana.
His squad all gather around him in a formation not dissimilar to Celtic's pre-match ritual, but the human shield can't stop the TV cameras from peering right in.
Hey, when you gotta go.. you gotta go, right?
Douglas cleverly pretended to get down on one knee to tie his shoe laces and takes a sneaky leak out the bottom of his shorts.
A grown man needs a human shield to protect him from the embarrassment of not being able to tie them properly.
It's a discomforting sight, but at least if any of the Bhoys need to go they've already got the perfect cover.
Nobody talk about Gary Lineker's World Cup 1990 toilet stop...

I have just transferred into my new role from the Operations Readiness and Asset team with Prelude to join Commissioning and Start Up (CSU), moving directly into a Technip Samsung Consortium (TSC) secondee position that will see me running utilities in the yard for TSC.
My journey as a Prelude technician started back in June 2014 in Perth. A group of 13 new starters from all different parts of Australia turned up for our first day at Shell. I remember this day clearly, not knowing anyone and feeling a little nervous whilst I was waiting in the Shell office with the rest of the new starters. I was thinking to myself, "have I done the right thing resigning from my previous role in sunny Queensland, to take up a new position on the other side of Australia or even another country?"
After the introductions the next 12 weeks of onboarding was explained to the team. It was impressive, you could tell a lot of thought had gone into what was required to prepare the team to work on and support Prelude. I've got to say, HR have done a great job employing such a talented and diverse group of people that work well together and all have the same goal: to make Prelude safe, and to make Prelude work.
It was during this period that I knew I had made the right decision to join Shell!
After the first four weeks in the Shell office it was off to ACEPT (Australian Center for Energy and Process Training) for eight weeks of training. This consisted of an introduction to the different operating systems onboard Prelude.
It was during this period that I became aware of just how big Prelude was going to be, well I thought I did, until I actually saw it for the first time floating in the water at Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard here in Korea. WOW! What a monster, I was absolutely amazed by the size of the facility when I first saw it.
In September 2014 I started my first rotation to South Korea and joined the operational readiness team located within the shipyard and now I am onto my next challenge of working alongside my colleagues in CSU and TSC to commission and operate the Prelude utilities for the first time.
My expertise is in power generation which is just one of the 32 utilities systems that need to be commissioned. These systems include seven boilers (the largest marine boilers ever built), three steam turbines, water treatment and air and nitrogen systems just to name a few. As you can imagine utilities and power generation is an integral part of operating Prelude FLNG so getting it done safely and right the first time is critical.
The Shell team during this CSU phase will work very closely with TSC and vendors to bring the different systems and equipment on-line. My role along with 15 other Shell colleagues will be to ensure that the plant and equipment is operated to the right manufacturer's specifications and tolerances during commissioning and testing. We will be commissioning and non-stop training to ensure that we are 100 percent ready for Prelude start-up prior to sail away.
This is a very exciting time and I feel blessed to be a part of this talented and dynamic team and look forward to successfully commissioning this project. It is something definitely worth telling the kids – I do this quite a bit and hopefully one day I can show them where Dad works.

One day I mentioned some trends that I've seem. We were doing a serious of small websites (micro-sites) that were pure admin, had to done quickly, and were constantly changing. I mentioned that we should look into Ruby on Rails. He quickly told me about "standardization". I talked to him about what Neal Ford calls Poliglot Programing. The manager just did not get it. He also noticed that the team started to reject him, so he started to put some distance between us and him. Meeting were done through e-mail, requirements where discussed with IM, and status were done over the phone. It got so bad that the team eventually talked to HR.
I talked to one of my mentors (a finance guru who loves technology and the best CIO I ever had) about this manager and about some of the incidents. He told me that once should see the "silver lining" of the situation. One can really learn about bad managers. He was right! Through this bad manager, I learned that managers should monitor the "pulse" of his/her team members. They are the ones that will help you achieve your goals. HBR published an article How Not to Lose the Top Job where they talked about this issue,
The leadership feedback that you (and your CEO) receive from your direct reports can be an excellent predictor of your ability to lead the company. Poor feedback from a direct report can sabotage an heir apparent, just as poor feedback from peers can
Eventually the manager was laid off, but by that time I had left the company. I'm happy to report that one of my friend, and frankly the best guy for the position (a developer), is in charge of this team.

I was driving over to a friends and spotted what I thought at first was a aircraft with its landing lights on approaching me in a southwest to northeast direction. It was going really fast and I glanced up at it as it passed behind me in the car and I tried to see if it had wings and couldn't tell if it did or not. I drove up a short distance on the road and turned in a east direction on another road and seen the aircraft again. It was going away from me flying in a straight line and thats when I seen what leads me to believe it was UFO. It had two sets of what looked like three windows on the back with a flashing redlight located where a planes tailfin would be located. I lost it below the horizon after it got past the treeline and when I turned on another road and headed north, I looked east and could not see this object. After I had thought about it, I realized that this object did not make a sound. My friend convinced me to report this sighting on your site.

Kuta: To Visit or Not To Visit/
Kuta is one of the most controversial cities in Bali when it comes to travelers, and there is a huge question as to whether or not it is worth the visit. Kuta definitely has a different vibe from many of the other towns in Bali. It has its good and its bad, but when most people have a limited amount of time in Bali, it's important to consider both sides to make a decision for yourself.
The Good
The first positive thing about Kuta is its reputation for being a party city. It definitely does have more of a spring-break feel to it, and it's popular with the younger crowd. If you're looking to spend a few days bar hopping, Kuta is the perfect spot to be. There are bars and drink specials everywhere!
Kuta is also known for their good surfing conditions. There are two groupings of waves at this beach: small waves roll in closer to the shore, and bigger waves roll out further. More experienced surfers can ride the bigger waves, while the closer waves are perfect for learners. There are official surfing schools as well as private surfing instructors all over the beach. The beaches in Bali vary quite a bit, so while you can surf at other beaches, Kuta is known for its good surfing conditions.
Another thing unique to Kuta are their turtles. The Kuta Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center sits right on the beach offering visitors a chance to see sea turtles at various ages. If you happen to find yourself in Kuta at the right time, you could even get the chance to release a baby sea turtle onto the beach!
The Bad
Perhaps the biggest drawback to visiting Kuta are the local men who would cat call and make inappropriate comments while we were walking down the streets lined with shops. While relaxing on the beach, we were approached by several men asking to take pictures with us. Why? I have no idea. Many of them were polite enough to ask us and walk away when we declined, but we did catch a few men taking our pictures without our consent. It was creepy, to say the least.
Now, the first positive mentioned was Kuta's reputation for being a party city. Depending on who you are, this can be either a good or a bad thing, so it deserves a spot on both lists. If you're looking for a quiet or less-populated town, then Kuta is not for you. It is among the least authentic spots in Bali, as it is catering towards a different type of tourist.
With that being said, the food also suffers. Much of the food is subpar, and it is harder to find authentic Indonesian food. The worst food I had in Bali was in Kuta. That's not to say that all the food is bad, but you should take a little bit more time researching where to eat instead of just walking into any place.
I also found that Kuta was the most expensive place I visited in Bali. Everything from the hotels to the restaurants charged more for lower quality. This is a negative, especially if Kuta is your last city, and you're used to paying a lot less. However, expensive in Bali is still incredibly cheap by American standards.
Now it's time to answer the much-debated question: should I go to Kuta? Well, it really depends how long your vacation is and what kind of traveler you are. Kuta boasts some good beaches for surfing, as well as a fun atmosphere and the chance to see sea turtles. However, it is also a bit pricier than its neighboring towns and is a lot less authentic. Personally, I visited Bali to experience their culture. However, I don't regret visiting Kuta at all. I got the opportunity to release a baby sea turtle, take a surfing lesson, and spend a couple days relaxing on the beach with a good drink. It's not the best place to learn about Balinese culture or try authentic food, however it does offer some things that you can't find anywhere else in Bali.

Optometry Scotland has announced the appointment of its new vice chair, optometrist and businessman David Quigley.
The organisation – which represents the views of the optometry sector to the Scottish Government – assigned the prestigious title to the longstanding director who is partner in Specsavers optical, audiology and Healthcall businesses around Glasgow and Aberdeen.
The appointment follows a majority vote within the Optometry Scotland members, recognising David's continued support and thought leadership within the industry in Scotland.
The role will support the new Optometry Scotland chair, Samantha Watson. The role involves debate and decision making within the profession, while discussing ways to ensure Scotland can deliver world class eye care for its communities.
A word from David Quigly
David said: 'I am honoured to be serving as vice chair of Optometry Scotland – this non-profit organisation serves an incredibly valuable role representing the entire sector to the Scottish Parliament, Scottish Government Health Directories and other key stakeholders.
'Our industry has undergone significant changes in recent years and particularly since the introduction of the new GOS (General Ophthalmic Services) contract in 2006.
'This trend is set to continue in the face of ongoing changes in the demographics of our patients and clinicians as well as development in legislation and technology.
Working with a fantastic organisation
'I look forward to working with Optometry Scotland to help deliver its business plan and ensure it remains at the representative forefront of optometry, dispensing and the optical sector in Scotland.'
The optometry profession in Scotland has made much progress in recent years by offering a multitude of eye care services for patients free of charge. In addition to David Quigley's appointment, the four independent members' seats of the Council of Optometry Scotland have been confirmed.
David Bonellie and Richard Spruce have been reappointed, while two new members have been appointed - Ian Jarvis and Scott Mackie.

Award-winning Book of Aron author Jim Shepard will read from his much anticipated new short story collection, The World to Come. "Without a doubt the most ambitious story writer in America," according to The Daily Beast, Shepard's new collection spans borders and centuries with unrivaled mastery.
Jim Shepard is the author of seven novels, most recently The Book of Aron, which won the Sophie Brody Medal for Achievement in Jewish Literature from the American Library Association and the PEN/New England Award for fiction, and five story collections. Shepard's short stories have been chosen for the Best American Short Stories, the PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories, and a Pushcart Prize. He teaches at Williams College.
"Like Alice Munro, Shepard has a knack for compressing a novel's worth of life into thirty or forty pages. . . . It all adds up to a peculiar yet arresting vision, as Shepard lets you see a startling variety of dangers and conundrums through the eyes of characters who, poignantly or even despairingly, can't quite summon the humanity that's hidden away in them."—Michael Upchurch, The Boston Globe

News Briefs
Real tsunami warning test
Emergency responders in Valdez are embarking on a media blitz in an effort to spread the word to Valdez residents that a real test of the citywide tsunami warning siren will be occurring during the upcoming Alaska Shield statewide emergency drill later this month.
A test sound unlike the regular weekly testing will occur the afternoon of Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, then again on March 29 during the Alaska Shield statewide emergency drill that will occur in Valdez and other parts of the state.
"It will be something no one here's heard before," said Sheri Pierce, public information officer for the City of Valdez. "We've never actually heard the tsunami siren."
Emergency officials in Valdez routinely test the citywide tsunami warning system at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, using a tone called "Winchester Chimes."
The tests coming on March 18, March 19 and March 29 will be the actual tsunami warning siren people would hear in the event of an actual tsunami threat. Pierce said the warning will be long and loud and "frightening."
JR Shooters take aim
The Valdez Junior Rifle Club swept the third Annual 4 Position Smallbore competition with the best overall score, first place standings in every division and top team score according to organizers. Lizzy Rowe won the late February match with the highest score overall of 386 points. Mitchel Yrjana took first place in the Junior Division with 377. The Intermediate Junior winner was Ashlyn Mahoney with a score of 374. In the Sub Junior Division Tiffany Larcum scored 344 which gave her the top score and the Tyro Award given to the highest scoring shooter at their first competition. Sub-junior shooter Jeremy Mahoney received a third place medal with the score of 295.
After the NRA sanctioned competition, VJRC hosted a fun shoot where the shooters were paired with a parent and competed for the winner of the Guts Match where the audience was encouraged to heckle the pairs. Ashlyn and her father James Mahoney were the top scorers in the fun match.
Fishing boat inspections
The US Coast Guard is encouraging mariners to get free commercial fishing vessel safety exams. Valdez mariners can contact Chief Machinery Technician Steven Blythe at 835-7225.
The Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Valdez will be sending a team of commercial fishing vessel examiners to Cordova April 18-23, according to Lt. Allie Ferko.
The Coast Guard said mariners should complete these exams annually through the local Coast Guard commercial fishing vessel examiner well before setting sail for seasonal fishing. Early inspections will provide vessel operators more time to correct any discrepancies that the examiner identifies. A successful exam will earn the vessel a Coast Guard commercial fishing vessel safety decal good for one year. Commercial fishing vessels operating beyond the three nautical mile territorial sea baseline are not required to have decals until the year 2015, however they are strongly encouraged to obtain them. Some vessels, including those used to pursue halibut individual fishing quotas, are required by the National Marine Fisheries Service to have a valid decal prior to carrying their mandatory NMFS observer aboard.
Fishermen are also encouraged to visit http://www.fishsafe.info and click the link to the checklist generator. This application takes input on the fishing vessel, such as length, persons aboard, where it operates, etc., and generates a list of requirements that apply to that specific fishing vessel. This allows owners to know exactly what Coast Guard dockside examiners will look at before their official examination.

Lyric of the moment: "You'll be given love. You'll be taken care of. You'll be given love. You have to trust it. Maybe not from the sources you have poured yours, maybe not from the directions you are staring at. Twist your head around, it's all around you. All is full of love..."

✖ Q&A ✖ → Six Blade, A.M.C & Ayah Marar - Hardest To Love
Instead of doing a review for the latest Viper Recordings release Mike Kryptomedic brings us an unique interview with the authors themselves. The Viper-signed duo Six Blade and Titan Recordings boss A.M.C himself. (e.n.)
2016 has been a giant year for Drum & Bass all around, and though it seems that we could say that every year, these days it's true! All year we have been kept in a streamline of vibes with labels and artists thriving all over the globe, and even for myself, it has been one of the best years I can remember, being a long time fan as well as an artist.
This year marked my third year at the world's largest Drum and Bass Festival aka Let It Roll as well as having the chance beforehand to speak at the Beats Evolution Conference (the world's first drum and bass music conference). What an experience! Surely anyone who was there for these events would agree that they are two of the greatest celebrations of the genre in existence today. A coming together of countless artists and people working in the industry. For me it has become a bit of a family reunion and something I hold dear in my heart...the best time, with the best music, surrounded by the best people.... it's just perfect.
One of the highlights for me was a random dinner I shared with the Viper team. We were all in the same hotel after the BEC and across the hall from me was A.M.C who through touring and time in the scene together has become a friend over the years. Alex invited me to come downstairs and grab a drink and so we both headed down to the bar where we bumped into Futurebound, along with Trei and basically the entire Viper crew, who were all in good spirits. We shared in laughs and stories, and beers and food...and this group could not be a nicer, warmer, funner crew, I can tell you that. I had no idea what to expect when I sat down with everyone but I walked away a bigger fan of Viper than I ever had been.
Saturday night came along and the label hosted the Factory Stage where they simply tore it down! After seeing this night at LIR, spending time with the crew at dinner after BEC, and watching the live stream of their Summer Slammer's Launch Party from my flat in Munich, I wanted to take a look at one of Viper's latest releases from Six Blade, A.M.C and Ayah Marar entitled Hardest To Love / Ova Dose. Since we are all friends here I thought to be fair to the reader I would rather skip my review and replace that with a small Q&A with the boys.
Interview w/ Six Blade
With the latest release coming with A.M.C, the man behind Titan, a label where you guys featured your first release, is working with friends directly a plus or do you find it can sometimes backfire?
We've only ever had positive outcomes from working with friends. I think when you're friends with the guys you're making a track with, everything is a bit more relaxed and you feel comfortable telling them what they've just made sounds terrible. The whole process is a lot more honest.
With the names of A.M.C and Ayah Marar attached on this release, can you guys give some insight into the actual collaboration process on this project?
Whenever there's a lack of inspiration in the studio, I always go running to Alex for projects that he's started and never finished and that's exactly what happened with this time. He sent me over a couple of projects and I was really feeling the vibe on Hardest To Love so Mike and I started working on it. Once we'd completed the arrangement we fired it back over to Alex. Alex is good friends with Ayah, so when we started discussing potential vocalists for it, her name came up straight away and he gave her a call. We fired the track over and fortunately for us, she really like it. Ayah and her engineer, nailed the recording and when it got sent back to us, we didn't really have to do anything to it. We mixed the vocals with track, finished up the arrangement and that was pretty much it!
With steady releases and guest mixes left and right you guys seem quite motivated. What are you working on at the moment?
It's been a while since we've had a string of releases, so it's nice to be getting our name out there again. We've just finished a remix for an American EDM label, that will hopefully be out over the next couple of months and then we're going to try and push for another single before the years out, but if not, definitely early 2017. I think we'd like to push for an ep in 2017 as well as in been ages since our last one.
Interview w/ A.M.C
When working with artists like Six Blade, is it an obvious straight to Viper move or are there moments where the inner label head in you would perhaps like to swing a tune over to Titan?
When we start a track usually it tends to go to Viper as Six Blade are exclusively signed to them. However myself and Titan have a very good relationship with Brendan (Futurebound) and Viper so if we want something to go on Titan it's never a problem. It's a rare thing to have if I'm honest but its testament to why the Drum&Bass industry is better than other musical genres.
A lot of DJs/Producers these days are starting up their own collaboration ventures with this in mind. Do you look to use collaborations and releases on other labels as a place to experiment with your sounds or would you say that it's better to save for your own label?
I'd say I always put 100% into every track so its never a case of experimenting. Every time I work with a different artist it brings something new to the table. I'm a firm believer of putting your all into the brand you own or represent so the majority of the music I make will be released on Titan. However working with other labels such as Viper is never a problem because we're all good mates who have the same ethics when it comes to selling music.
Ayah Marar, perhaps one of the most successful female vocalists ever, how important do you feel it is that it is her voice on the track? Was this a collaboration based in the everyday motion of life, or was it perhaps suggested by label heads?
There was no real marketing or PR plan behind getting Ayah involved in Hardest To Love. Ayah is a good friend of mine and a very hard worker in the industry so when I sent her the track she came up with these brilliant lyrics and of course her delivery of the vocal on the track is what makes her stand out from the rest.

Eyeliner is one of the first items that women start using, at the beginning of their relationship with makeup. Its easy to apply, easy to shop for and some options are really inexpensive. Unfortunately, as most women learn very soon, there's good eyeliner and bad eyeliner. No-one wants eyeliner that wipes off or smudges after a few hours. The worst is if it starts bleeding into other areas of the eye. I've had much experience with bad eyeliner, liquid and otherwise. I'll spare you the trouble of going through all of this on your own and tell you about Milani's Eye Tech Liquid Eyeliner.
The first thing I noticed when I tried this out is that the application tip was different. Instead of a thin brush, this one has a felt tip, making it super easy to apply. Its soft to the touch and distributes just the right amount of color that you need. Applying this eyeliner is just as easy as writing on your skin, because that's literally what you're doing. It's thin enough so that you can apply a skinny line, to subtly highlight the eye. If you want a more dramatic, retro eye, you can just extend the line up and out at the outer corner and thicken the line, if you so please.
The Eye Tech is so easy to use, you'll want to experiment with different widths and looks. If you can't leave the house without your eyeliner, you'll love how quickly you can put this on. The packaging is also really cute and small so if you don't have time to apply at home, you can slip it into any size purse or clutch. Don't carry it if you're thinking of re-applying though because there's no need to. The Eye Tech stays put all day even on my 15-hour days. It doesn't fade, crust, smudge or bleed. It does exactly what it should do: make your eyes look gorgeous until you're ready to take it off.
The Eye Tech comes in Black, Brown and Charcoal and is insanely affordable at $6.99. Check it out at www.milanicosmetics.com or pick one up at your local drugstore.

Lily Collins Interview – Rules Don't Apply – "From a young age, I just felt this drive – as if it were meant to happen"
Lily Collins was born into show business. The daughter of singing legend Phil Collins, she was always primed for success. Vivacious and sparkling in person, she speaks in an upbeat and confident manner, ever smiling and gracious and even asks if you would like a coffee before starting the interview.
Q: Having a very famous father in Phil Collins, has that made you very ambitious when it comes to leaving your own mark in show business?
COLLINS: Very! (Laughs) I've wanted to do this for a long time. At 15 I was writing stories for magazines and then by 16 I was aware of the bigger picture. From a young age, I just felt this drive – as if it were meant to happen.

Beer and Food Pairings
The latest issue of Zymurgy, published by the American Homebrew Association, has a great article about pairing beer with food, and, in particular, the Holiday table. For salads and appetizers, they recommmend all-malt-Pilsener, Belgian-style saison, Hefeweizen, or Witbier.
With the main course, sayroasted chicken or turkey, try a malty amber lager, brown ale, or oktoberfest. For Barbecue, maibock or a abbey-style dubbel. With grilled or roast beef, try porter or stout. And spicy dishes go well with hoppy beers, like an IPA.
With sweet deserts try a tripelor old ale. With cheescake or carrot cake have a strong, highly hopped beers like adouble IPA. With choclate serve imperial stout or Belgian dark ale. Fruit beers also go well with chocolate.
I am already looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Messages from the natural world
- |
For the South African printmaker Kim Berman, landscape is a metaphor for homeland. She has portrayed the high plains around Johannesburg, her hometown, as the ground for conflict and resolution for nearly 30 years. Her landscapes have addressed apartheid and its end, the advent of democracy, and the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
"Dislocated Landscapes,'' Berman's latest body of work, is a gorgeous and smoldering series of prints focusing on riots that erupted in Johannesburg in May 2008. Over several weeks, the violence - aimed at Africans who had immigrated to South Africa from other countries - spread to other cities. Scores of people were killed. In Johannesburg, migrants were moved to refugee camps on the outskirts of the city.
"Dislocated Landscapes #1,'' an etching with monoprint, sets the tents beside a trench lined with a barbed wire fence. Berman magnificently layers tone to create moody passages; the trench is black, glinting earth, a maw opening in the ground, perhaps a chute to hell. The sky looks smudged with soot, yet just along the horizon, there's a sliver of peachy light, a suggestion of hope.
Berman pairs that tent-city landscape with one of South African orchards devastated by fires in June 2008. Farmers attempted to save ravaged trees by blunting their limbs and painting them white, to protect the naked wood where bark had burned off. In the monotype "Alien Orchard II,'' those trees flail like pinned ghosts against the brown-gray ground, which Berman has made brittle with scratches.
The metaphor is clear: The earth has been scorched. Smoke still rises from the embers, in the orchards and the refugee camps. But there's the suggestion that something can be salvaged, and that after devastation, a new crop may grow.
In his neon-bright, crisp, and often wildly detailed works, Amesbury examines the spirit of that spell. He plays with scale. He traps butterflies and sea creatures under glass. In "Cricket Cage,'' two glowing pink-and-purple insects perch on the outside of a wooden cage that houses a brown cricket. Either the cage is tiny or the cricket and his luminous visitors are enormous.
"Double Doyle'' has a couple of beetles perched on an open book, in which the illustration portrays a fairy being towed through the air by several butterflies. The larger beetle is as big as the book itself. Another volume below appears to be a work by Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes.
Amesbury is technically terrific; his gouache drawings are vibrant eye candy - the more layered with detail, the more dazzling. One large piece, "The Blue Butterfly'' is such a dense thicket of flowers, it threatens to overwhelm, and that's exactly what Amesbury needs to do more often: create an undertone of threat. His ideas here intrigue, but their execution is too fey and sweet. That modern aesthetic he employs? It's Walt Disney's. Give the cricket in "Cricket Cage'' a top hat, and he's Jiminy Cricket; the bugs around him twinkle like Tinkerbell.
Look at Aliosky Garcia's "El Profeto (The Prophet),'' in which a man's head is a thatch-roofed hut, with a tongue sticking out the front door. It's a bold, black-and-white woodcut, at once homey and nightmarish. In Sandra Ramos's etching "La maldita circunstacia del agua por todas partes (The Damned Circumstance of Water Everywhere),'' the contours of Cuba become those of a woman in a green translucent dress, her body pinned down by red royal palms, which are the national tree of Cuba.
Ibrahim Miranda also works with the map of Cuba, screen-printing directly on it in "Untitled (Havana).'' In black, a songbird flies away from a crown of thorns; in red, a monstrous serpent coils; text on its head reads "Habana.'' The message is that of courage, sacrifice, and threat, all conjured from the Cuban cartography below.
Dania Fleites Díaz's elegantly drawn, deeply surrealist "El Islote de Circe (The Island of Circe),'' made with drypoint on Plexiglas, shows a pair of cat's eye glasses formed from cracked driftwood. One eye has been shrouded with a spider's web; the other has a hinged door, and what looks like a circular saw. The wooden glasses sit on an island in a dark sea. It's a fascinating picture of decay and wisdom, of insight and also blindness. That may address life in Cuba, but it also captures the human condition.

David Bowie honoured at Music Producers Guild Awards
Music legend DAVID BOWIE was honoured with a top prize at the Music Producers Guild (MPG) Awards in London on Thursday night (13Feb14).
The Let's Dance hitmaker landed the Innovation Award in recognition of his 2013 comeback album The Next Day.
He was not present to pick up the trophy in person, so his producer Tony Visconti accepted it for him, telling the crowd, "On behalf of my friend David Bowie it feels absolutely great... No one believed that David Bowie was going to make another album and so the timing was perfect, because everyone kind of gave up on him. There were rumours of bad health and rumours of retirement, and I'm laughing my head off every time I hear them."
During the show, producer/songwriter Trevor Horn was handed the Outstanding Contribution to UK Music award by his collaborator Seal and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.
Seal, who won three Grammy Awards with Horn for their hit 1995 track Kiss From A Rose, said of his mentor, "I don't think it would have been possible for me to have had the career that I've had and enjoyed the success that I continue to enjoy without Trevor Horn... being in my life. He is a huge influence. He pretty much taught me what I know in terms of my trade in the music industry."
The pair later took to the stage together to perform Kiss From A Rose.
Production duo Flood and Alan Moulder landed the U.K. Producer Of The Year prize, which automatically earned them a BRIT Award, and Disclosure brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence scooped the Breakthrough Producer accolade for their band's debut album Settle.
Everything Everything's hit track Kemosabe was named UK Single Of The Year, Nile Rodgers took the Inspiration Award, and International Producer Of The Year went to Rick Rubin.

6x6 Acrylic on Hardboard Panel
What a thoughtful gift: someone wanted to give their 90+ year old mother-in-law a gift but there wasn't anything she really needed. Then she remembered how much she loves the Eastern Bluebirds that fly around her back yard, and asked if I could paint one for her. Waiting for the frame I ordered to arrive and then will await reports of her surprise and glee.
If you need a special, unique gift for someone, please consider commissioning a painting!

Los Angeles - (May 5, 2004) - ASACP is an organization helping the adult site industry make a difference in the battle against child pornography. ASACP received over 4600 suspect child pornography reports in April and is continuing to see a large increase in the quantity of reports received. Of these, over 300 sites were reported to authorities; compared to a past average of 100 per month. This very significant increase in the number of raw and validated reports, sent on to authorities, has been relatively constant for the past two months.
I believe that we are seeing this increase in raw and validated reports as a result of more than one factor. New search engine technology, the ever increasing amount of unwanted spam email, rapidly growing awareness of ASACP both on-line and in mainstream media, and a growing proliferation of child pornography sites are all contributing to the increase, said Tim Henning, Site Reviewer.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the increase in reports is the increase in validated child pornography content that is new and previously unseen by ASACP. In the past, much of the content was not original to a particular suspect site but seen many times duplicated on many sites. As the numbers of child pornography sites grow, there seems to be more competition for customers and more pressure to provide new content to those customers. Sadly, this can only mean one thing; more innocent children are being abused to provide this illegal content.
Over 4700 sites that are taking a stand against child pornography proudly display the ASACP logo. If you are interested in learning more about ASACP or helping in the fight against child pornography, please view the ASACP site (www.asacp.org ) or email email@example.com.
