MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Kevin Love had 36 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 91-73 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.
Luke Ridnour had 12 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Timberwolves, and Andrei Kirilenko had eight points, seven rebounds and six assists after missing the previous four games with back spasms.
Alonzo Gee scored 16 points and Anderson Varejao grabbed 14 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who have lost four in a row and eight of their last nine while star guard Kyrie Irving has been out with a broken left index finger.
The two teams combined for 41 turnovers and shot 25 percent from 3-point range in an ugly offensive game.
Love missed most of the first month of the season with a broken right hand, and he's been struggling to regain his shooting touch since returning nine games ago.
``I know I haven't been the 25 (points) and 10 (rebounds) guy that I usually am. ... I haven't been quite putting up the numbers and helping the team as much as I can,'' Love said at the shootaround on Friday morning.
He looked a little more like the All-Star and Olympic gold medalist the Wolves have come to expect against the woeful Cavs, hitting 10 of his 19 shots. He entered the game shooting just 19.6 percent from 3-point range, but made two of his five attempts and also went 14 for 18 at the free throw line.
While Love was terrific in the matchup of two of the game's best rebounders, Varejao managed just four points on 2-for-10 shooting and lost a streak of 10 straight games with at least 15 boards.
C.J. Miles scored 13 points for Cleveland.
Both teams were missing their playmaking point guards, and it showed in the disjointed mess that was the offense on both sides of the court. Irving missed his 10th straight game and Dion Waiters was out again with a sprained left ankle, robbing the Cavaliers of one of the promising young backcourts in the league.
Once again, the Cavs struggled to create space for easy jumpers, turned the ball over 18 times and really were relegated to hoping for a dunk from Gee on offense. Gee threw down a soaring jam and then knifed through the lane for another two-hander that cut Minnesota's lead to nine points late in the third quarter. He made seven of his 12 shots, but his teammates went 23 for 75 from the field.
The Timberwolves were similarly sluggish as they wait for Ricky Rubio to play for the first time this season. Luke Ridnour had a couple of nifty Ricky-like behind-the-back passes for easy shots in the first quarter, but it dried up after that. They were shooting under 40 percent until late in the third quarter and missed 12 of their first 14 3-pointers.
NOTES: Varejao did limit Wolves C Nikola Pekovic to four points and one rebound on 0-for-3 shooting. ... Cavaliers rookie Kevin Jones made his NBA debut. He had two points and four rebounds in eight minutes. ... Former No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams did not play again for the Wolves, with coach Rick Adelman preferring to give the bulk of the minutes to Love, Dante Cunningham and Greg Stiemsma up front.

New digital technologies are not currently a top investment priority for refiners, but digital spending will increase driven by operational cost reduction.
After years of investing in core digital automation and control technologies, refiners have shifted investment priorities to other areas such as maintenance. However, as technology costs decline and mobile and internet of things (IoT) solutions become more viable, refiners must move beyond simply piloting new digital technologies into deployment at scale to see the benefits of digital.
A digital enablement plan, with a digital vision embedded in the business strategy, will allow refiners not only to realize a reduction in operating costs via accelerated and broader operational efficiencies, but also to achieve the fundamental transformation in their business that these technologies can bring.
Trend 1
helping enable a shift from reactive solutions to proactive monitoring using big data and analytics.
Trend 2
for driving the greatest impact in terms of operational performance for companies currently using digital technologies.
Trend 3
almost a quarter are making significantly higher levels of investment in this area than a year ago.
Trend 4
Refiners continue to struggle to understand how digital can drive enough incremental benefit to offset the initial cost outlay.
Trend 5
the unproven business value combined with lack of clear strategy is slowing down the speed of uptake in refining.
Only 19 percent recognize digital as one of their top 3 priorities – but this is set to change
Refiners have higher-priority investments today such as maintenance. However, driven by operational cost reduction, the level of new digital technology investment is increasing. Over half (57 percent) said that their current level of investment was more or significantly more than 12 months ago. Sixty-two percent plan to invest "more or significantly more" over the next three to five years.
Analytics, including big data, by a large margin is viewed to be the number one digital technology that will impact performance.
Along with analytics and mobility, cybersecurity is seen as one of the top digital technologies having an impact on operational performance. Leading refiners of the future will be those that fully exploit big data and analytics and in parallel increase focus on industrial cybersecurity measures, as companies seek to offset the greater risk of cyberattack that comes with more connected refinery operations.
Almost a quarter are making significantly higher levels of investment in this area than a year ago.
Most refiners (89 percent) consider themselves still digitally immature. NOCs, however, ranked significantly higher with 1 in 5 indicating digital maturity. According to the survey, NOCs (24%) stated they are currently spending 20 percent or more than they were a year ago vs IOCs (12%) in digital technologies. However, over the next 3-5 years 30 percent of IOCs and 24 percent of independents indicated they plan to spend significantly more (20%+). 25 percent of NOCs plan to spend significantly more (20%+) in the next 3-5 years.
Almost 40% of refiners cited operating costs as their top priority. However, half of respondents said the biggest barrier to wider digital adoption in their business is cost.
Refiners prioritize operational cost reduction, but any benefit digital can provide is being challenged by cost concerns. Yet as competition grows, refiners are looking to the benefits of digital technology, acknowledging that it will enable them to adapt and re-implement far more quickly than they do today.
38% cited the lack of a digital strategy as a major barrier to wider digital adoption.
Refiners see clear benefits from digital, but need strategies to follow them through. This indicates that creating value from digital remains a challenge for them, and that they may not yet fully understand how operational savings can repay digital investments—even in the short term—if they are deployed correctly. As many industries are finding, the strategic enablement of technology is as challenging as finding the investment to pay for its deployment.
Digital requires senior executive leadership and vision, underpinned by proof of concepts that quickly lead to scaled programs focused on maximizing return on investment.
Companies need to drive a culture of innovation and technology adoption — a parallel focus on OT & IT.
Investment in human capital and development programs are needed to promote new, digital thinking and new ways of working.
A methodical approach for developing and/or industrializing the digital foundation is needed, including managing the broader ecosystem of digital partners.
A comprehensive digital enablement plan should be built into business strategy to lead to digital transformation.
This Accenture Digital Refining Research was conducted in March 2017 by PennEnergy Research in partnership with the Oil and Gas Journal on behalf of Accenture in collaboration with Solomon Associates. The research surveyed over 200 refining oil and gas professionals including engineers, mid-level and executive management, business unit heads and staff and project managers.

With the Jersey shore ladies launching clothing lines and trying to patent their names left and right, it was only a matter of time before Sammi " Sweetheart" Giancola decided to get in on this whole entrepreneur thing, too.
In collaboration with RichRocks, Giancola debuted a collection of costume jewelry that plays heavily on her "sweetheart" theme. It features an array of heart-shaped pendants.
"I love that the RichRocks brand and my collection retails for just under $100," Giancola told People. "It was very important for me to keep all of the pieces affordable for my fans so they can purchase more than one piece and add to the collection. I have created some great fun and flirty pieces to wear day into night."

Made with Love10/27/2010 11:10:00 PM Edit This 6 Comments »
So I'm getting dinner ready and I hear Lexie yell "mommy, come quick. My poopy, my poopy has a shape in it!!" Being an experienced parent now I'm thinking "what shape could she have eaten?"
She jumps up and proudly points in the toilet
"See mommy it's a heart shape....(wait for it)....and I made it just for you!"
If that isn't love I don't know what is.
(Picture of heart shaped poop removed per Uncle Jim's request. This from the man with 5 children - two of them 2 month old twins. Like he hasn't seen a LOT of poop in his day!!)

I am excited to read about Nomo's four hitter as the Dodgers opened up their season with a big 8-0 victory. And Nomo's on one of my fantasy baseball teams, so that helped a lot.
Randall (of Tidal Wave Magazine and Jetenderpaul) sent me a special tour promo DVD with the new Sigur Ros video from the first untitled track on their ( ) album. I haven't seen such a beautiful and haunting video in recent memory. Elementary school children are getting ready for recess as their teacher makes sure that they are ready to go. Then, they leave the building in their gas masks as they enter a sort of apocalyptic chemical wasteland to play. All with the ethereal, dreamlike music playing.
It's looking like there will be a double 10″ version of Starflyer 59's new album "Old" (with extra tracks) out on btv in the US…

Writing Sample
Jermaine hasn't enjoyed his job since day one. When he applied for the "personal assistant" position he figured that he was applying for a part-time job to help pay the bills while he finished College. Instead, his boss demanded more hours than there were in the day and never once commended his work. "Personal assistant my ass," Jermaine though, "I'm basically his bitch".
Get his coffee. Pay his cell phone bill. Get his suit dry cleaned.
Jermaine only knew that his boss was a "Talent Advisor". He didn't know what for – but he assumed that his boss wasn't overly successful lately. No talent was coming through the office doors on the tenth floor on Spring Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It wasn't until the text message he received three days ago that he even knew what talent his boss managed, or advised, or whatever the fuck he does.
Get me all the information on this man as soon as possible.
That is what the text said. An angry ex-con based out of Miami, Florida with a Samoan background and has been making cash under the table by fighting in parking garages. A flight to Miami, a terrifying meeting, a contract presented and torn in half, another contract printed and torn in half, a third contract printed and signed reluctantly and a full background check later and Jermaine was about to present his boss with a new professional wrestler.
Jermaine thought professional wrestling died when the Hulkster turned porn-actor. "It doesn't matter," Jermaine thought, "only 2 more weeks and this job is over".
He stood at his boss' door an adjusted his tie. For some reason, his boss would wear jeans and a t-shirt but demand the highest standard of clothing from his personal assistant. Jermaine wasn't even sure his boss owned a tie but he seemed to really get angry when Jermaine's tie wasn't done properly. He looked through the file again. Whatever his boss plans with this Aperamo Saifo, he did not think it was going to work. After watching him fight in the basement of a parking garage and leave his opponent a bloodied mess, lying face down on the cement – Jermaine knew there was something not right about this guy.
**knock, knock**
"Come in, come in"
"Mr. Myles, I have the paperwork for you"
"Ahh… young Jermaine, this is the greatest news I have had since hearing my ex-wife died!"
Jermaine hsn't seen Terrance Myles so happy before. It was awkward.
"Alright, what are you waiting for? Hand it over boy."
Jermaine hated being called "boy", not just because he was 22 years old but because he was black and he was convinced that Terrance was racist. He handed it over and stood silently as he watched a smile come across Terrance's face, it was the most sinister, sickening smile that he has ever seen.
"Jermaine, quickly get me Eric Dane on the phone, immediately"
Terrance watched Jermaine scatter out of his office like a bat out of hell. He thoroughly enjoyed watching the young man leap at his commands. He thought about possibly extending his contract for a while longer, but now that it looks like he will be back on the road again – he has no use for an assistant who can't travel. He would offer Jermaine to travel with him but Terrance figured that Jermaine would chose school. "Pfff… school, what a waste of time," Terrance said out loud.
He looked back at the folder and couldn't help but feel a tingle of excitement again. He hasn't had a client in so long and he missed the adrenaline that comes with standing in the ring and being hated by thousands staring at you. He wasn't afraid of Aperamo's temper – he knew how to manipulate monsters to do whatever he wanted. Terrance was a master manipulator. He could sell ice to an eskimo if he had to. That's if he ever felt like torturing himself by talking to some northern brown-skinned eskimo. Saifo's race wasn't ideal, but with the latest surge of Samoan beasts thriving in the professional wrestling and fighting world – Terrance could look past that hindrance.
Terrance smiled again. He had the most dangerous man that Defiance Wrestling has ever seen in their squared circle. He had the man who would bring Terrance back to the place of glory that he always knew he should be at. Talent advisor of the hottest, most dangerous athletes to ever step foot in Defiance's ring. He wasn't just thinking world championships, he was thinking of how this could potentially change the entire industry.
People would look at Terrance and fear whatever creation he would think of next.
And it all starts with Aperamo Saifo.

Here's another interesting bauble from the nerds at Google. The Books Ngram Viewer allows you to plot the frequency of words and phrases that appeared in books published in the past few hundred years. Google estimates they've scanned and OCR'd more than 10 percent of all the books ever published, and this plotter is based on a sample of that data.
This "most excellent time-wasting tool" was blogged about by Alexis Madrigal, a senior editor for TheAtlantic.com, in his post, The Decline of Man (as a Word), in which he shows how the word "man" has fared against "woman". (Not well.) As Madrigal observes, this may not serve a legitimate research purpose, but it sure is fun.
Here's a sample. I've searched for the term "database", and set the years to search as 1950 to 2008. The y-axis shows the percentage of all the terms contained in Google's sample of books written in English that are "database" for those years. As you can see, the word didn't emerge in published sources before the early 1970s. (Click image for full size.)
The tool also allows you to plot the progress of one term against another. If you plot "database" against "data base", you'll see that the two-word term enjoyed a short life before the single word took over. I've been interested in the use of the word "gift" instead of "donation," but the plot of those two words isn't very informative due, I guess, to the many connotations of the word "gift." Instead I plotted "charitable gift" and "charitable donation" to put the words in context, and came up with this chart. The concept of giving seems to have had quite a heyday up until around 1835, and "donation" was firmly in the lead. By 1880, though, it was all about the gift. (Click image for full size.)
That got me thinking about how well "philanthropy" has done through the years. Mentions before 1750 are rare, so I plotted from then to the present, and once again the first half the 19th century seems to have been relatively more preoccupied with the idea than later on. (Although, of course, who knows what data this is really based on. As I said, it's fun, but I wouldn't want to base a thesis on it without knowing more about the underlying data.)
Hmm – this IS fun. What if we plot poverty vs. religion vs. education? This doesn't tell us what people were giving to, but it does give a glimpse into what they were writing about. "Poverty" has stayed relatively constant since 1750, but look at how "religion" has declined as "education" has risen. One line crosses the other right at 1909. Also interesting is that the trend started reversing direction about 10 years ago.
And finally, this chart plots "data mining" and two variations of "fundraising". Data mining takes off as a published term in the early 1990s, and the term "fund raising" has merged into the single word, "fundraising."
All sorts of fun. Try some for yourself! I'd be interested in hearing about any cool combos you come up with that relate to analytics and/or fundraising.

You can call Paris Hilton a liar, but at least she's not an inmate.
The hotel heiress appeared in a Las Vegas courtroom early Monday to answer to charges stemming from her Aug. 27 drug arrest and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors – drug possession and obstructing an officer. Hilton was required to state exactly what she did wrong on both counts.
"Guilty, your honor," she said after being charged with the first. "I was in possession as well as tell an officer that the bag wasn't my purse."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Pressed to state for the record what she was in possession of, Hilton responded: "Cocaine, your honor."
Then, she copped to the obstruction charge.
"Guilty, your honor," she pleaded. "I said that the purse wasn't mine to the officer, your honor."
The plea helped the 29-year-old blond beauty stay out of jail, but not without a stern warning. She'll be on probation for a year, and any arrest will land her in the clink.
"The purpose here is to change your conduct," Clark County Detention Center Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure told Hilton.
Hilton was nabbed just before midnight on Las Vegas Boulevard after police pulled over her boyfriend Cy Waits' SUV. Waits was arrested on DUI drug charges. Cops busted Hilton when a bag containing .8 grams of cocaine fell out of her purse.
On Monday, Hilton wore a white blouse and black pencil skirt when she arrived with her attorney, David Chesnoff. The lawyer later told reporters Hilton was given no favors by the justice system.
"She was treated like anyone else would be treated under the circumstances, and I'm very proud of the way she's dealt with this," he said. "I think she's on the road to success and I wish her personally the best."
Hilton must also complete a substance-abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and complete 200 hours of community service.
"Defendant shall stay out of trouble. Defendant agrees that an arrest for any charge, excluding minor traffic violations for which a citation is issued, shall result in the immediate termination of her probation and the execution of the suspended sentences," reads the deal.
Telling the judge multiple times that she understood and agreed to the plea bargain, Hilton admitted that she lied to Las Vegas police officers when she told them the purse that contained the cocaine wasn't hers.

Post subject: Buttermilk Biscuits
This recipe has become a weekend favorite of ours. I found it on epicurious, where it was credited to Dot's Diner in Boulder, CO. One fun aspect of this treat is that you can make butter (discussed in an earlier thread), and use the leftover buttermilk for this recipe. Full circle! Even if you use commercial buttermilk, the biscuits are really good. This recipe makes about 20 biscuits.
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1+ cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in large bowl to blend.
Using fingertips, rub 3/4 cup chilled butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until evenly moistened.
Using 1/4 cup dough for each biscuit, drop biscuits onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake until biscuits are golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm.
Cook's Notes:
* I usually need more than 1 cup of buttermilk, otherwise the dough is too dry.
* Use a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop to form the biscuits - so easy!
* I often add an extra minute or two baking time to get the biscuits browned just right (perhaps because of the extra buttermilk).
* It is possible to mix all the ingredients
the buttermilk the night before, and keep the mixture (with butter cut in) in the fridge or freezer. Mix in the buttermilk the next morning for a very easy breakfast.

These sound lovely, msue--I'd feel so accomplished if I'd made the butter, then biscuits from the buttermilk! Can you give a guess as to how much buttermilk you'd have left over if you made the 3/4 cup of butter for this recipe?
I've used a recipe from a book called "Mrs. Wilkes Boardinghouse Cookbook"--not nearly as much butter! (But shortening is used too.) I brush the tops with melted butter before baking, they brown prettily, and oh the smell of hot butter!

gingerpale, the recipe I use to make butter starts with 1 quart of cream, which produces a small slab of butter, maybe equivalent to 3 or 4 sticks. It never crossed my mind to weigh the resulting butter! The recipe also produces up to 2 cups of buttermilk.
You are right about these biscuits having a lot of butter - they are a special treat. I usually make them with regular commercial butter, leaving the homemade stuff for those who want to melt a little extra on the hot biscuit out of the oven. However, I do use the buttermilk in the biscuit recipe.
Something about the process feels thrifty, even if it would be far more thrifty to dispense with the butter making and just eat an apple!

Have you noticed any difference between the biscuits made with store-bought buttermilk and those made with homemade? The couple of times I made my own buttermilk, I found it not as thick and flavorful as store-bought. I also found that everything baked slower.
Don't forget the cannolis!

Honestly, I didn't notice a significant taste difference between the biscuits made with commercial vs. homemade buttermilk, but I wasn't doing a side-by-side comparison.
The buttermilk was plenty thick enough for a good dough consistentcy. Interesting about the timing issue you mentioned - I had to add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time, which I'd attributed to my less than exacting flour measurement. Maybe it was the buttermilk after all!

I Am Not a Good Person
The saying goes that one must not have the heart to harm others, but it is necessary to protect oneself against them. Based on Feng Yu Heng's cautious nature, how could she not have heard the gradually nearing footsteps, and how could she not have noticed the person dipping and dodging around behind her. That person had simply squatted down then pushed her back while grabbing her ankle. If this was the real Xiao Ya, perhaps this push would have done the trick.
Unfortunately, this was Feng Yu Heng.
The culprit had watched Feng Yu Heng be pushed into the well, head first with both of her feet leaving the ground; however, for some reason, this person felt more and more flustered. When this person managed to recover, they found that the person that had fallen into the well with half their body under the water, was actually themselves. On the outside, there was a hand holding her wrist. A smiling face looked down at them, causing their heart to tremble.
"Qi family's young miss, how is the temperature of the water?" Feng Yu Heng had an evil smile on her face and an impossible-to-hide murderous intent flashed through her eyes.
The person in the water was the Qi family's young miss that had argued with her earlier. If she did not bring up the temperature of the water, it would have been better, but once it was mentioned, the Qi family's young miss immediately felt the bitter cold seep into her body. The lower half of her body that was in the water became numb from the cold. It was as though it had already been separated from her upper body. There was absolutely no feeling from it.
Her lips and teeth shivered, and her face turned blue. In just a short span of time, a thick feeling of death surged forth. She begged Feng Yu Heng: "I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me, alright?" Her voice was weak and very urgent.
Feng Yu Heng, however, asked her: "If you had succeeded in pushing me into the well, would you have done your best to get me out?" Before waiting for her to reply, she added: "As a person, you must not have the heart to harm others. There was no enmity between us to begin with, yet you insisted on coming over. I am not a good person. How could I allow someone that wished to kill me to continue living?" After she said this, she suddenly let go and straightened out her body, "Qi family's young miss, may we never meet again." With a plunk, she fell into the water and fell silent.
She dusted off her hands in contempt, and her gaze became cold. She just thought that the people of the North truly were cruel and fierce. After just a short argument, she turned around and tried to commit murder. Just how exactly did her heart become twisted to such a degree?
At first, she did not intend to argue with a little girl; however, this did not mean that she would allow for someone to threaten her own life. In this man-eating North, let's see who will eat whom.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the tub then looked at the well. Retracting the coldness from her gaze, she immediately put on a frightened and anxious look and turned around, quickly running toward the backyard. While running, she shouted; "Not good! The Qi family's young miss fell into the well!"
She ran and shouted, and when she reached the courtyard where Illusory Hall had been training them, everyone was shocked by her shouts. The two girls that had been with the Qi family's young miss were immediately panicked and urgently asked: "Which well?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "The well that I was fetching water from. I don't know why she also went. When I turned around, she suddenly rushed forward and ended up in the well. Quickly go and take a look!"
Everyone quickly rushed over. The guards of Illusory Hall also rushed over. A stronger member put a hook down the well then stirred around. After catching onto something, he tied it to the rope in the well and pulled it up.
Everyone looked over. If the person that had been pulled up was not the Qi family's young miss, who else could it be? The hook had been hook on the collarbone, piercing straight through her. It was as though she was a pig that had been hung up. She had already lost her life.
The surrounding crowd inhaled sharply, and the girls all looked away. They did not even dare to look at the corpse. Shen Yu Ning and Zhang Ling Xi stood on both sides of Feng Yu Heng and comforted her: "Xiao Ya, don't be scared. She should have gone to an ice well to fetch water; however, she ran over to this side. It's clear that she wanted to cause trouble for you. Who knew that the trouble would end up taking her own life. That just serves her right."
These words were heard by the two girls that had been at the side of the Qi family's young miss. They wanted to argue a bit, but after giving it some thought, they shut their mouths. The two were indeed close with the Qi family's young miss, and they wanted to use the elder sister that had entered the Winter Palace as support, but now that the Qi family's young miss had died, there was no need for them to speak out for her.
Very quickly, the woman with the surname Qi also rushed over. Immediately behind her were some elders of the Illusory Hall. But these people were not too surprised by the death of a girl. The woman just waved her hand and ordered the guards: "Wrap her up in a mat and send her back to her family. Give them a bit of money. If the Qi family has any objections, have them come to the Illusory Hall to voice them."
After just a few words, the matter was considered resolved. It was as though it was not a person that had just died, rather it was a cat or a dog. But after the guards took the corpse away, the woman looked at Feng Yu Heng with a profound gaze then faintly said: "Fu Ya, very good."
Feng Yu Heng's expression was calm and just bowed slightly, saying: "Many thanks sister Qi for the praise."
The woman with the surname Qi nodded, "Since the well was tainted by a corpse, just seal it up! We can forget about the matter of filling up the tub. As for you children, the first ten to have learned how to perform the fire flower trick, come with me to the front hall. As for the others that were lacking, go and look at your options."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Shen Yu Ning and Zhang Ling Xi quickly grabbed Feng Yu Heng to follow her. Another group of children also quickly went to follow. As for the other children, they remained in place and did not move.
Feng Yu Heng heard someone behind her loudly say to the girls: "Fire on the ice flower is my Illusory Hall's most basic illusion. If you cannot even learn this, there is no need for you to remain here. Right now, there are two paths before you. One, you can leave on your own and go home. Two, you can choose to remain at the Illusory Hall to perform chores. You should think about it carefully."
On this new year's eve, some people were happy and others were worried. The girls that had passed the test and could stay were naturally happy. Even if they would be unable to learn magic in a short span of time, they would accompany an illusionist as an assistant. But, in the end, their goal was not to become an illusionist. It was nothing more than an opportunity for them to get into the Winter Palace. That was why being able to stay was a good thing.
As for those that helplessly returned home and those that had effectively become servants, they could only pass this new year with bitter expressions.
Shen Yu Ning said to Feng Yu Heng: "Xiao Ya, I heard someone say that not everyone that gets into the Winter Palace can receive lord Duan Mu's favor. After all, he is old. In the past three years, I heard even more that he does not even have time for all of the concubines in his residence, much less the ones in the Winter Palace. All of these rules are just for show. Second, this also gives him some liveliness. Otherwise, I would not come to take part in this. After all, needing to participate in the selections at 13 years of age, I would go at a time when there are more people. The chance of not being selected would be a bit higher."
Feng Yu Heng asked her: "Is your family also lacking in money?"
Shen Yu Ning shook her head, "There isn't a lack of money, but my stepmother is liking me less and less. A few days ago, I secretly heard her discuss with my father about engaging me to a nephew from her maternal family. You don't know this, but that nephew doesn't know how to do anything aside from gamble and drink. I don't want to get married to that sort of person. I would rather spend the rest of my days in the Winter Palace."
Zhang Ling Xi also sighed, saying: "All three of us have our own difficult experiences. If we really can get into the Winter Palace, we need to support each other. I heard that the brutality of the Winter Palace is the same as Da Shun's imperial palace."
Feng Yu Heng helplessly said: "How could a place with many women be peaceful." Just as she said this, she recalled something and paused before saying: "There really are people that only want to get into the Winter Palace. If they fail one year, they will come again the next year. There are some that have already gone many years in a row." She had seen someone that was clearly a few years older than her in the Illusory Hall. This thought had come to her at that time.
"But of course." Shen Yu Ning said, "There are people here that are already 15-years-old. They are already of marriageable age. That means that they have tried for many years yet never given up. Xiao Ya, let's stay a little further away from those people. I fear that girls that have been unable to get married for many years will have twisted hearts."
Feng Yu Heng helplessly let out a wry smile. They were just 15-years-old, yet they were already considered older girls by this society. This was a concept that she still could not accept at this point. Tomorrow would be the first day of the new year, and she was truly quite looking forward to that Winter Palace.
Feng Yu Heng had used Fu Ya's name to get into the Illusory Hall. At this time in the Fu residence, the real Fu Ya was seated at her mother's bedside as usual. The only difference was that instead of handing her mother a bowl of dark and bitter medicine, the medicine being handed over was the size of a fingernail from a girl's pinky. Each time, two pills would be taken, and they should be taken twice a day. Apparently, this would be enough to treat her.
Fu Ya handed the medicine to her mother and thought back to the one that had suddenly appeared in the room. That girl looked extremely similar to her, and she was like a deity that had suddenly appeared. Not only did she use a mysterious method to treat her mother's illness, but she also left behind a number of weird medicines. Even odder, after her mother had been treated and took the medicine, although it was only a single day, the symptoms had truly improved. She could even see some color return to her mother's face, and the coughing was no longer as frequent as before.
It was just that Fu Ya could not understand. That girl had such great medical abilities, so why did she want to get into the Illusory Hall? People with that sort of ability should be seeking to avoid getting into the Winter Palace, right?
When she became distracted, her mother immediately noticed. The madam said to Fu Ya: "Mother knows that you are thinking about something, but no matter what happens, that girl is our benefactor. Xiao Ya, from this day forward, no matter what happens, you must not sell out this benefactor. You must do your best to help her. Have you remembered this?"
Fu Ya nodded sincerely, "Mother, don't worry. Xiao Ya has remembered it. As long as mother can get better, even if Xiao Ya will spend an entire lifetime repaying that girl's grace, Xiao Ya would be willing."
On the first day of the new year in Song Zhou, everything possible was done to use the joy and festivity to cover up the disaster that had occurred on the 29th. Everyone kept their mouths shut about that fire and acted as though it had never happened. They just wished each other a happy new year and asked around to see which family's daughter would be participating in the selections for concubine of the Winter Palace.
On this day, Feng Yu Heng followed the illusionists of Illusory Hall and finally arrived at the Western end of Song Zhou then entered the Winter Palace. The one welcoming her was a familiar sight.

'The Lazarus Project: A Novel' by Aleksandar Hemon
The Lazarus Project
A Novel
Aleksandar Hemon
Riverhead Books: 294 pp., $24.95
First, a small historical marker:
On March 2, 1908, Lazarus Averbuch, a 19-year-old Jewish émigré from Eastern Europe, paid a visit -- for reasons unknown -- to the home of George Shippy, Chicago's chief of police. Perhaps he was looking for work and wanted a letter of good character, a custom back home. But Shippy claimed to have seen hatred in Lazarus' eyes and a knife pulled from his pocket. Not knowing Lazarus and caught up in the xenophobic, anti-radical hysteria of the times, Shippy took him for a murderous anarchist. In the skirmish that followed, Lazarus took seven bullets and died on the way to the hospital. His death became a flash point for left and right, and the truth around it remains smoked in mystery.
A century later, Aleksandar Hemon, a novelist ("Nowhere Man") and story writer ("The Question of Bruno") born in Sarajevo, now living in Chicago, became interested in Lazarus' story and, accompanied by his friend photographer Velibor Bozovic (whose photos grace the book), set about tracing Lazarus' short, unhappy path from Kishinev (today Chisinau), the capital of Moldova. There, as a child, Lazarus survived the pogrom of 1903 and escaped with his family to Chernivtsi, then on to Chicago for his appointment with fate.
The result of the journey is "The Lazarus Project," a novel about a man named Brik, a writer from Bosnia now living in Chicago, who takes his friend, Rora, a photographer, on a trip to retrace Lazarus' path. Brik envies Rora for having been in Bosnia to fight in the war of the early 1990s; Rora envies Brik for having missed it. Their homeward trek holds different meanings for each.
Hemon places his narrative on two tracks: Lazarus' story weaves in and out of Brik's -- two very different immigrant experiences. As the book begins, Brik's worst complaint about America is the inferiority of its coffee. He seems to be doing all right: He writes a column for the Chicago Reader and loves Mary, his American wife, a neurosurgeon with little patience for the bleakness in her husband's Eastern European soul: "I seldom talked to Mary (or anyone else, for that matter) about such things, about the metaphysics, the existential loneliness, the ways of being. She was a lifesaver; she worked on life, the way people work on their cars -- she was a life mechanic."
The road trip -- thick with bonding, booze and opulent stories; a sort of "Sideways" with worse wine -- winds through Ukraine and into Moldova. Brik captures the local color in the collapsed Soviet Union -- rich gangsters and hooker-filled hotels, a local museum with a display of indigenous cockroaches. Brik's acidic commentary is often hilarious. In a hotel room in Lviv, "The singer on TV was a matronly woman in a curtain-like, glittery dress, awkwardly swinging her thick hips between chairs and tables, while a toreador-mustached man, all tension and sinews . . . twisted and pressed luridly against her sides. It was clear that the couple was Ukrainian, the way it is clear that it is morning in the morning."
When the narrative takes up Lazarus, the prose is set in darker ink. In Chernivtsi, Brik imagines: "Here Lazarus lost his first money gambling; here he was flagellated in his dreams by the Kishinev pogromchiks; here he was deflowered; here he first felt adrift in a foreign land; here he learned that humanity is wicked and endless." Eventually, the search for Lazarus becomes personal for Brik. In Chisinau, "I felt as though I had achieved the freedom of being comfortable with the constant vanishing of the world. I had finally become the Indian on a horse with a branch tied to its tail." In Sarajevo, which might well be the real point of the trip, some very bad events cause things to both fall apart and come together for Brik.
Though his story and Lazarus' provide dramatic contrasts, there's an off-kilter sway to the narrative as the tone flips between dark humor and the brand of sorrow you can't joke your way around. Hemon is immensely talented -- a natural storyteller and a poet, a maker of amazing, gorgeous sentences in what is his second language. But in this book, he sets up a Chinese box structure that has its own constraints, which might not play particularly well to his discursive style.
The parallel protagonists of this book are separated by more than just a century. Lazarus did not have the luxury of angst. He was a Jew struggling simply to stay alive in an anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant culture. After his death, the novel tells how the Chicago Tribune ran a front page photo of Lazarus in profile under the heading "The Anarchist Type," with numbers delineating his telling features: "1. low forehead 2. large mouth 3. receding chin 4. prominent cheekbones 5. large simian ears."
How could he have thrived in a place where this could happen? In his Chicago, Brik's sorrow is more a vapor that he inhabits, an atmospheric state he brings with him. For Lazarus, the oppositional forces were life and death, divided by a sharp, dark, stationary line. For Brik, the psychic players are happiness and unhappiness, which share a border that shifts, much like those on the countries of his Balkan peninsula. *

From a garage in Kensal Park to borrowed space at an east end craft brewery, it's been a twisty route for London's newest craft brewery. Now, it's showtime for what promises to be the most intriguingly experimental of the city's brewers.
Brews News: Beerlab moves nearer customer, downtown scene
From a garage in Kensal Park to borrowed space at an east end craft brewery, it's been a twisty route for London's newest craft brewery. Now, it's showtime for what promises to be the most intriguingly experimental of the city's brewers.
Nick Baird and Adil Ahmad, the beer scientists behind Beerlab! Brewery, started brewing together in Nick's garage in 2011 before graduating to space at Forked River Brewing and selling kegs to Milos' Craft Beer Emporium, where it was pondered and pontificated on by a knowledgeable clientele.
Fast forward a bit and Baird and Ahmad find themselves securing space at 420 Talbot St., next door to Milos' with a small five-barrel (eight hectolitre) brewing system, all the better to deliver fresh, small-batch beer to Milos' and to their own craft beer customers who began filling the 25-seat, seven tap indoor space on June 7. A 14-seat outdoor patio is planned.
Baird, who estimates they've brewed between 80 and 120 recipes, said Beerlab! Brewery will have a constantly rotating selection as he and Ahmad seek out ingredients that intrigue them from around the world, farmhouse yeast from Lithuania, for example.
While opening week beer styles range from a New England style juicy IPA to two versions of a Norwegian-style beer using kveik yeast, Baird is hoping customers come to the dark side and sample their porter. After running through 15 or 16 porter recipes, the partners say they've reached the summit with Obi, their latest recipe. Like their other beers, Obi is available as a fresh beer to go in 946-ml growlers or sanitize and bring in your own growler to have it filled.
Beerlab! Brewery located downtown in part because of the new Dundas Place flex street and the events which could be held there. It can't hurt that Budweiser Gardens, a Fanshawe College campus and several condo towers are nearby. Beerlab's opening makes the neighbourhood just a wee bit cooler.
Two days of art, music, and beer makes Hamilton the place to be June 14 and 15. That's when Liquid Arts Festival returns for its second year at Collective Arts Brewing.
The warmup, or the consolation for those who can't make the fest, is the Liquid Art Festival edition of Surround Sound Double Dry Hopped Double IPA. Brewed with Simcoe, Galaxy, and Centennial hops, it's citrusy and a big 8.2 per cent alcohol by volume. Surround Sound is cool because it is brewed with a rotating selection of hops.
Cans have artwork by one of four Canadian artists, including by Heidi Berton, who grew up in London and now is living in Toronto. You might've read something by her dad, Paul, or grandfather, Pierre.
Each of the artists will be painting live at the festival, which, in addition to its craft beer (some 70 brewers from around the world) and music offers a series of craft beer conversations with brewers from Scandinavia, China, and the United Kingdom moderated by Cass Enright of the Bar Towel.
See www.liquidartbrewfest.com for details on this seriously cool festival.
Stone House, Huron County's original mico-brewery, has something new for the beach crowd or anyone who opts for a thirst quenching, approachable beer. Stone House Cream Lager first went on sale in March and joins the brewery's roster of a Czech-style pilsner and a German-style dark lager. All are available at the brewery store in Varna or at a string of pubs and restaurants along Lake Huron. Cream lagers are brewed like an ale but finished with a lager yeast and, no, despite the name, there's no cream in it.
At least two breweries marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day with special new beers. Innocente in Waterloo brewed Little Fish Ale in collaboration with the Juno Beach Centre. Niagara Teaching Brewery in Niagara-on-the-Lake introduced Juno Pale Ale, named in honour of the beach taken by Canadian troops and brewed based on the June 6, 1944, brewing logs of St. Austell Brewery in Cornwall, England. It's three per cent alcohol by volume, the legal limit during the war because of a hops shortage from bombing and government restrictions on agriculture.

Source: http://www.onlinecollegecourses.com/2012/05/23/20-startups-changing-the-way-we-learn-new-languages/
Languages tend to stay the same, but the way we learn them is in a state of constant change. With new technology, great ideas, online courses, and an increasingly connected world, there are more new ways to learn a language today than ever before. For this, we can thank startups who are working hard to bring new and creative ways to get connected, practice language, and get access to language learning resources. Read on as we explore 20 startups who are making an impact on the way we learn new languages.
Verbling has been described as the "chat roulette of language learning," allowing language learners to find someone to have one-on-one language exchanges with via online teleconference. Users are connected through spontaneous chat sessions, matched up by their language needs, and given a 10-minute session in which they can practice language before being cut off and connected with a new partner, offering an experience that sounds frenzied, fun, and learning-intensive. The startup recently raised $1 million in capital to continue its project and hire new talent.
Bringing a social media spirit to language learning, Lenguajero has built a great community around learning both Spanish and English. Through the site, users can practice speaking, join a writing club to get corrections from native speakers, and participate in a fun community that explores other cultures. Amazingly, this project was bootstrapped by its two founders while living and traveling in South America and Mexico, built using the Google App engine.
Voxy takes an on-the-go approach to language learning, turning content from users' lives into foreign language opportunities so that users can "learn a language from life." The smartphone app turns users' photos into flash cards, creates language lessons out of the latest headlines, and even uses a geo-located phrase book to target vocabulary learning based on your location, like a restaurant or playground. Voxy's app was the No. 1 ranked Education app for most of 2011 in 13 different countries.
Using Facebook for language learning, PlaySay allows users to add a language layer to the social media site, communicating and understanding different languages through pictures. Founder Ryan Meinzer says of the app, "Your Facebook friends are your new classmates. Check-ins, status updates, and pictures are your course materials," turning a social media site that so many spend a lot of time on into a great resource for language learning.
Like Voxy, Lingibli has set its sights on allowing submersive language learning to follow you wherever you go. Through the use of QR codes, smart phone users can improve their vocabulary by scanning to hear words spoken by native speakers. Students can use the app to learn the fundamentals of a language, gathering an understanding of just 100 words from each language offered.
The people at Memrise think that learning a language should be as fun as playing a game. That's why this online learning platform combines memory learning with game-like experiences. They've turned learning a language into a game where you can interact with a rich community full of multimedia and mnemonics. This Boston-based startup recently made headlines when they released a Valentine's day video featuring 100 different languages in which to say "I love you."
Hello-Hello's language learning app combines social networking with learning. Students can access courses in 11 different languages, doing lessons anywhere, anytime using smartphones, and then help friends learn languages, sharing written or recorded feedback. The site also makes it easy to connect and make friends with native speakers around the world, offering a great opportunity to learn in a practical environment. Hello-Hello won the Best Startup Company Award at the 2011 SiliconIndia Startup City Event.
Keeping up with language learning is a commitment that not everyone can stay on top of. Unless you're enrolled in a for-credit class, motivation for language learning can wane, but Keewords is working to help keep your interest on track. Creating a tool to track your goals and keep you accountable, Keewords offers challenges and competitions that can get you going on your goal to learn a new language.
Described as "YouTube meets Rosetta Stone meets Guitar Hero," EnglishCentral offers a 24/7 platform for Japanese speakers to learn the English language. Users can watch videos, improve vocabulary, and use interactive speech assessment technology to get immediate pronunciation feedback and assessment. This startup is so exciting that it won funding from Google Ventures.
Language learning typically involves a major time commitment, but LingoBite allows users to take on bite-sized lessons, covering roughly one topic within five minutes. Embracing the short attention spans of online learners, this service offers interesting content and keeps things fresh to help language learners make excellent progress.
Wander takes pen pals to a whole new level, connecting students with peers all over the world to learn about each others' lives and languages. Using new friends as a local guide, you can use Wander to learn about life in another country through daily photo missions and instant messaging. This startup recentlypivoted from YongoPal into its current iteration.
Babelverse is working to develop the world's first universal translator, offering real-time voice translation that is powered by a global community. This tool can revolutionize language learning, as stumped students can use it as a resource to get past roadblocks and better understand a language. Babelverse took home the prize at LeWeb 2011, beating out 700 other startups.
Like Memrise, Native Tongue is working to make language learning into a fun game. The startup has created a game called Mandarin Madness, which challenges English speakers to learn Mandarin by matching characters with a visual representation of their meaning. This fun, competitive method of learning helps to keep language learners' attention, and with visual representation, improves memory retention.
If finding a foreign language tutor has been a challenge for you, you can get connected with the Myngle platform. This website is known as a "marketplace for languages," connecting teachers and students for private or group lessons. Students can select teachers based on their own specific needs, and can even try out demo lessons to make sure they're getting a good fit.
WeblishPal co-founder Danny Wang used his less-than-ideal experience of learning English in a Chinese classroom to create this system that allows language learners to get regular interactions with native speakers. Although he studied for more than 10 years, his grasp of English was seriously lacking when he immigrated to Canada in 2000, and this startup works to improve upon the "crazily inadequate" classroom experience. Using WeblishPal, language learners can get connected with teachers through real-time video chats in order to see facial expressions, mouth movements, and more that can greatly improve language learning.
Combining traditional language learning with online interaction, Livemocha offers an incredibly useful foreign language experience. The site has instructional materials, including basic courses and active courses, plus peer feedback and social networking conversations with native speakers, deepening learning connections so that users can better understand a language as it's actually spoken.
This startup aims to help kids get an early grasp of foreign language, offering a multiple context approach that addresses the way that children learn language. Through mini games, kids can have fun learning words as they're used in real life, giving them the opportunity to learn foreign language in a brand new way.
Words With Bears brings language learning to the Kinect, allowing users to "live the language" as they learn. They are working on the development of this software based on cheap, accessible tech that is fun to use and offers experiential learning. The idea was sparked at the Women 2.0 Startup Weekend 2011, winning the event, and it continues to grow.
Using this web-based chat tool, language learners worldwide can connect with chat partners. Unlike other startups that offer voice chat, Polyspeaks focuses on text, making it a comfortable environment for learners who are not yet ready to speak a foreign language.
Lingt was created to help language learners tackle the challenge of huge vocabulary lists bit by bit. Instead of trying to cram lots of information very quickly, this startup helps you not only learn words, but review them just when they think you're going to forget them. The service was recently acquired by Dictionary.com and continues to grow.

Payson Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Payson there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Payson Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Payson. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Mobile Windshield Replacement - Do you need it?
When there are windshield cracks the owner may be able to fix it themselves using a kit or have a professional auto glass technician do the job. The kit has all the tools that are necessary to fix the crack, including the resin. One thing to note is that these cracked windshield kits will only work on little holes or dings or thin small cracks. With larger cracks, they may not disappear no matter how many treatments are applied. For long or deep windshield cracks or ones that do not respond to treatment with the kit, should be taken to an auto glass repair shop to have the windshield replaced or fixed. When they look at it, they can tell you if it is repairable or needs to be replaced. Most insurance companies will take care of the repair or replacement.
• Once it has hardened you can remove the tool
• Check the crack to see if you need to repeat the treatment. If it is a deep crack, you may need to do it again.
• Once you are satisfied with the repair of the windshield cracks you should take a soft dry cloth and polish the area so the resin solution will match the glass around it as much as it can. If you were fixing a small crack it could become almost unrecognizable and appear new to the naked eye but if it is a large crack it could look slightly warped in the area where it was fixed.
Should You be Fixing Windshield Cracks?
There is a general consensus that windshield replacement can actually be performed by almost anyone. The glass pieces that replace it in your car are specifically shaped, and sized, to fit the make, and model of car that you drive. Almost anyone can remove the old piece and install a new one. It would be nice if auto glass replacement was that easy to do, but the truth is that you need a professional to replace any broken panels in your vehicle.
If the glass that is replaced in your car is not replaced correctly, using the proper glass pieces designed for your car, then you are in danger of them breaking at any time. When the weather heats the panels and cools the panels if they are not properly installed they can break, or fall out of the vehicle. If this happens while you are driving the car, you, or your passengers could be injured.
When you are looking for someone to do this glass replacement, or windshield replacement, you need to ask the following questions.
• How much experience do they have?
• Do they accept my insurance?
• What types of glass can they replace?
• Where is their shop located?
• Will they come to my location to replace my glass?
• How soon can they do the work?

Skull of War
This battle-ready skull looks beautifully dangerous. Named the 'Skull of Sarah Winchester' the skull was created by Ron Ulicny and was displayed at Grand Central Art Centre.
Not quite sure why it has been placed on a rather tame teapot holder which my grandmother would be ashamed of, but there you go. I'm just nit picking here trying to stop myself from having a skullasm. It's oh-so-glorious, the skull of war (new name!), I just hope it doesn't get placed next to the fire so those bullets get the chance to warm up.

Freaking Syrup movie
I'll be honest: I never expected this to get made. In fact, I'm still skeptical. I'm that cynical. It's Hollywood, man. It eats you. But now there's a cast and a budget and a production date and I'm starting to think it could be real.
This was supposed to be announced tomorrow, but word leaked out early and Variety reported it, so: they're making Syrup. It's what comingsoon.net kindly calls a "smaller production," starring Shiloh Fernandez and Amber Heard. It's based on a script I wrote, is to be directed by Aram Rappaport, and will shoot in June in New York City. This would be (will be, will be) the first of my novels to be filmed.
I am totally flying over there and doing some kind of cameo. I'm looking forward to seeing sets. I don't know why. But I always imagine locations pretty clearly—more so than the characters, in the physical sense—and I want to see the chair that Scat swivels around in. I know it won't be just as I imagined. But it will be something in my head made real.

The land for the Old Methodist Episcopal Burying Ground was purchased in 1808 by the Dumbarton Street Methodist Episcopal Church. The membership of the Dumbarton Street M.E. Church was fifty percent black, consisting of both free blacks and slaves. At the time, Georgetown was about thirty percent African American. In 1816 the black members of the Dumbarton Street M.E. Church formed the Mount Zion Methodist Church. Eventually the Mount Zion Methodist Church took over the cemetery in 1879. The Female Union Band Society was a cooperative benevolent society of free black women whose members were pledged to assist one another in sickness and in death. The society was created in 1842 and purchased the land for the burial ground that year. Mt. Zion Cemetery illustrates the significant contribution of African Americans to the development of Georgetown and the work of an early benevolent society organized by black women for their own benefit. The cemetery fell into neglect and disrepair until 1976 when volunteer workers under the direction of the Afro-American Bicentennial Corporation cleared away underbrush, trash, and ground cover.
The Mount Zion Cemetery is located at 27th and Q Sts, NW. The cemetery is open daily during daylight hours, to arrange for a tour contact Mt. Zion Church at 202-234-0148. Metro stop: Foggy Bottom

A reverse mortgage is a powerful tool that can let you harvest the equity that you've accrued in your home right now, and leverage that into cash that you can use to enjoy a more fulsome retirement. But there is plenty of misinformation about these loans. We'll aim to clear some of these up in this explanation that can help you decide what the right move is.
Age Requirements
First off, you have to be at least 62-years-old to qualify for a reverse mortgage. What's more, you have to have substantial equity in your home and be the primary resident. If you meet these requirements, you can get approved. And the loan is not income or credit based, either.
How the Loan Works
A reverse mortgage is where you borrow a portion of the existing equity in your home. You do not have to make payments until after you have passed away. You can take the cash as a lump sum, a line of credit or monthly payments. Interest rates and processing and origination fees still apply.
You Can Use the Funds as You See Fit
The best part is that you can use the funds as you see fit. Want to remodel your home, take a vacation or invest… it's your choice. If you do decide to sell the home, you will have to pay off the lien before you can keep the difference in cash. Interest is still assessed for any term that you held the loan as well. Reverse mortgages should be carefully considered before taking them out for the best results in retirement.
Primary Residences Only
Unlike other forms of home lending, a reverse mortgage does require that the home you are borrowing against is your primary residence. These owner-occupied home loans are designed to enable you to tap into your existing equity and refinance the home so you can use that equity and eliminate any future mortgage payments during your lifetime. If you do move away, you'll have to sell the home and pay back the reverse mortgage using the proceeds or refinance it back to a conventional home loan.

I think I posted this before with reference to a tv show that's shown here in his website.However, I think something as valuable - if not more so - can be had from looking at the quality of film, especially with how it works with people shots.http://www.duffyphotographer.com/Rob C
http://www.artkane.com/index.htmlA real master of the medium.
There was a time I had his illustrated Beatles' lyrics but some excess walking protein nicked it donkey's ago. By all accounts he became a very troubled sould and difficult but his images probably set a style for the time.They've nearly all gone. And when they have all gone there is nothing to replace them, let alone continue a tradition.
Rob,I felt that we knew them because so much of what they did came from places so deep within rather than being the product of attempted emulation.I also firmly believe that stopping to reload provided a punctuation point to the thought process And forgetting digital for a moment, I don't really think 'Auto-' anything helped all that either. Auto-focus. Auto-exposure.Cheers,W
That was a super clip Rob, thanks. And the one after it with Albert Watson was a cracker, too!W
It was funny to hear how Leica and 'blad have deserted the analogue snapper... could she be serious when saying that it should be her images that matter to those guys?Rob C
My exact thought. Leica and 'blad and all the rest are in the moving product biz. Not the art biz. I was surprised at her surprise!Peter

Looking Forward to London
By ITU Admin on 25/05/09 at 12:01 am
Helen Jenkins, the reigning women's world champion from Britain, will be amongst the starters for the sixth stop-over of the Dextro Energy Triathlon - ITU World Championships Series on 15 August at London's Hyde Park.
During a glitzy Park Lane launch this month Helen talked to UK-based media about the thrill of racing on the 2012 venue and the boost expected from a home crowd.
A strong field is anticipated, for the UK Sport supported event as the world's top triathletes get a taste of the next Olympic venue in an event due to be televised by the BBC.
Organisers Upsolut are also expecting to welcome more than 2,000 amateur triathletes to race in the footsteps of the elite field on 16 August.
Entries are now open at www.triathlon-wcs-london.org.
Age Group participants will be invited to back the event's official charity by raising money at the same time for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Triathlon will also press home its potential Paralympic credentials with a paratriathlon during the weekend.

text: windows phone user here. I don't know if I'm too late, but the app needs a stop button. every music app I've tried only has a pause button. this causes a problem when I'm removing music files from my phone. the file that's paused will not delete because the app is still "using" the file even though it's not playing. if the app had a stop button, that would neatly solve the problem. also, and this may be more of a wishlist item, but I would love it if the app had a stop-after-current button as well.

Houston to host Super Bowl in 2017
BOSTON - National Football League team owners have awarded Super Bowl LI to Houston following a highly competitive bidding process that brought together a multitude of local public agencies and private entities.
The biggest single game in American sports will be played at Reliant Stadium in February 2017 bringing a multitude of visitors, unprecedented global media attention and tremendous economic impact to Houston. NFL owners awarded both the 2016 and 2017 games at their Spring Meeting today in Boston. San Francisco will host Super Bowl L in 2016.
"I can't tell you how excited I am for Houston in being selected as the site for the 2017 Super Bowl," says Houston Texans owner Bob McNair. "This is a worldwide stage that will be constructed in Houston and the world will be watching. It's an opportunity to showcase our wonderful city, the NFL and the Super Bowl all at the same time."
The Houston Super Bowl Bid Committee, led by Chairman Ric Campo, submitted the final bid to each of the NFL team owners on May 8. The formal presentation was made earlier today by Campo and NRG Energy CEO, David Crane. Secretary James Baker, serving as Honorary Chair for the committee, delivered a compelling video message.
"Our bid is first class," stated Baker. "Super Bowl LI in Houston will make the NFL very, very proud."
"We've accomplished what we set out to do," said Campo. "Thanks to the support and efforts of Mayor Parker, Judge Emmett and the entire Houston Bid Committee, we're bringing another Super Bowl back to Houston. Our plans for the international celebration leading up to the game will create an unprecedented fan experience for Super Bowl LI."
Details of the 10-day festival, to be called "Super Bowl El Centro", and other plans will be revealed tomorrow in Houston during a press conference and Committee celebration.

Quilt Top:
1 pkg. charm squares (I used a layer cake and trimmed them down to 5″ x 5″)
1/2 yd. white (a background fabric contrasting with your charm squares)
1/3 yd. inner border fabric
1/3 yd. grey or coordinating fabric
1/2 yd. grey or coordinating fabric (your runner will be reversible, so pick a fabric that looks great all by itself)
Choose your favorite 16 squares from the charm pack. They need to be darker or bolder than your background fabric (my background fabric is white). Six of these 16 squares will be turned into X blocks, while the remaining 10 will become O blocks. If you have any large prints that you want to show off, set those in your X stack.
White Squares:
Cut your white or contrasting fabric into 20 5″ squares.
Cutting the X Block:
Line up four X squares perfectly on top of each other. Cut a 3″ x 5″ rectangle, leaving you with another rectangle measuring 2″ x 5″, which you will set aside for a moment. Cut a 3″ square from your 3″ x 5″ rectangle. This is the center of your X block. Use the remaining pieces to cute 5 sets of 1 1/2″ squares. (You will use four of these squares in the X block and the fifth set of squares will be used in the outer border of the quilt.) Cut the remaining two charm squares the same way.
Cut 10 of your white 5″ squares in this same way as well.
Your X Block will be cut like this:
Lay out your blocks the way you like them.
Press the first row one direction, the second row in the opposite direction, the third the same direction as the first row, etc. Then sew your rows together, remembering to nest those seams perfectly together.
Add the rest of your inner border, keeping the same things in mind while cutting the edges.

Burberry Lip Cover Antique Rose
Burberry lipsticks have good pigmentation and give a medium coverage. They apply smoothly with a lightweight feel, staying powder is average. However, these are not the most moisturising lipsticks I have.
I'd say the majority of my Burberry are natural classic colours and extremely wearable. I don't think of the range as having "wow factor", unique shades, but they do offer shades that you find yourself getting a lot of use out of and the eyeshadow texture is delightfully smooth.
I would like to try some more products from the line, although I have been trying to find out the ingredients of the blushers for nearly five months now with no luck so I think I'll give up on that one!
I bought this from Harrods.
7 comments:
Hi Replica, Just read your post and had my Burberry Peony blush within reach. This is going to be a long comment, but here are the ingredients listed on the label: Talc, Corn Starch, Dimethicone, Zinc Stearate, Pentaerythrityl, tetraisostearate, octyldodecyl stearolyl stearate, ceolite, sorbic acid, methylparaben, corn oil, propylparaben, tetrasodium EDTA, parfum, butylparaben, alpha-isomethyl ionone, BHT, benzyl benzoate, hydroxyctronellal, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, rosa canina fruit extract, may contain Mica, Titanium Dixoide, Iron Oxides, Ultramarines, Manganese Violet, Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Carmine, Chromium Oxide Greens, Chromium hydroxide green, Red 30 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Red & Red 7, Red 7 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 28 Lake.ReplyDelete
Whew!! That's a lot of ingredients for one little blush!
So odd - my Antique Rose looks so much redder. Definitely less pink than yours. And we have really similar coloring, pale and cool toned.ReplyDelete
Hi Makeup Magpie,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, thats so kind of you! Must have taken you a while! I usually have to avoid Corn Starch so they may be a no go for me. Thanks again x
Hi Adele,
That is odd, I went and double checked mine incase I had the wrong one. It is Antique Rose though and is pink, makes you wonder doesn't it! ;)
This shade looks to be another perfect go-to colour. I really like the look of many of the lipsticks as they are so wearable and appeal to my 'safe' lipcolour tastes.ReplyDelete
That's such a nice colour. I've still yet to pull that Burberry trigger. Curse their expensive postage!ReplyDelete
Jane x
I really like that- you are so bad for me with colors- we like the same things! x jeanieReplyDelete
Hi Meeta,ReplyDelete
I know what you mean, I almost always opt for the safe shades and they do have a lot of easy to wear shades.
Hi Jane,
Thats why I tend to buy a lot in the one go as hate paying their postage. You are being very good holding off, although I am sure someone mentioned they are releasing eye palettes so we will see how long you can resist ;)
Hello Jeanie,
Yes, I notice we tend to go for the same things, still I'm glad to be an enticer :) x


text: "Mesa is our most important upstream and KWin (together with Compiz and Mutter) are your most important downstreams." is not even close to be true. They're very important, but they're not even close to be the most important. Reality is that no one is getting paid to make sure KWin works on latest Mesa3D and that by itself makes it pretty insignificant. In fact there's very few people running KDE as their main DE at all here.

Spinach Sky
I'd like to send a big thanks to Chloe at DailyStyleGuide for considering me as part of a feature interview, which you can see here. I'd also like to take this oppurtunity to invite anyone reading out there to ask any extra questions - I know a few of you might have some questions about modelling in particular. I'll write up all the answers in a post over the weekend.
I'm shooting a beauty test this afternoon so hopefully I'll have something nice to put up next week too!

Self Portrait 5
This image could be so much cooler if I could manage my own hair. I usually don't style it beyond a smudge of serum because it gets so brutalised at different jobs. I swear I've had clumps of hair fall out after some crazy up-dos. It's so depressing to see it all run down the plug hole.
I changed the colour of the sky from its vivid blue to purple using the selective colour tool on photoshop. I also think this shot could be improved if my elbow wasn't pointing down the lense of the camera, if it was stuck out to the side a little more the silhouette would be much more interesting. My chin could be slightly lower too, makes for a more flattering light and line on the face and neck but the eyes need to stay catching light for maximum dramatic effect.
Launching Point
My boyfriend insists that getting outside will be helpful in getting me on the road to recovery and so I took myself upstairs for an outfit shoot and some fresh air. It appears as though in these shots I'm launching myself around the place but I can assure you the movements are quite slow (they have to be, my head is thumping). The idea is to put yourself into position and lift ever so slightly just as the shot is being taken to give the impression of movement. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
I love this outfit because its so slouchy and comfortable. A few days ago I gave myself a $100 challenge to find an outfit at Kmart and the result included these men's jeans and this baggy tee, among other things. I really should have documented my endeavor for my blog but it was really a spur of the moment idea and I didn't bring my camera.

Heres a shot of me on the cover of the Housexy album, coming out at the end of the month. I must add there's alot of photoshop on this - I didn't even have a tan at the shoot! Its still really exciting, being on the cover of a CD.
I'd be posting more this week but I've been beaten down with the flu. I spent all day in bed yesterday with fever and chills and aching all over... Probably have the swine flu... Back to the couch.
Not Bastille
So today isn't Bastille Day that doesn't mean my boyfriend and I arent headed up to the Mountains to celebrate its passing with a fancy dinner with my boyfriends Mum, Jane. We shall be indulging on french wine, french cuisine and crepes suzette! So I'm rushing to make an outfit post before I leave Sydney - featuring the shirt I wore for one of my first posts and an old favourite of mine that I've had for a couple years. I'm a bit annoyed right now about my heels - I decided to post all my favorites in a jumbo parcel from London so they didn't weigh down my suitcase and it was returned to my London address.... I paid 100 pounds for nothing!!! And so I have no new heels to accessorise with and I don't have a chance to exhibit the few new pairs I purchased while I was away. Bummer.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

About Time
Well overdue blog post - My boyfriend snapped these for me and I decided to give black and white photography a go, considering my dress is white. I decided to post all my heels along with presents and my toiletries from London back to Sydney because it was cheaper than paying excess luggage at the airport and I just found out my parcel was returned for some reason. I paid 100 pounds to post it! I need my heels. My outfits aren't complete. :( I got this dress from Zara in London and its so light and summery, totally inappropriate for Sydney, but I've tried to give it a futuristic element by adding the shiny tights which I was given at a job.
Still trying to find the time to reply to so many emails but thankfully tomorrow is sunday.
Thanks so much to Holly at OutfitRepeater for emailing me this mini pic of me in Harpers Bazaar at Josh Goot. I like this shot, I'm having loads of fun.
Still Here
I'm dancing around my room and packing to my favourite band when I was in highschool, Jimmy Eat World. I'm trying a few new looks out - I call the last one Smiling Chicken, what do you guys think?
Updating my blog hasn't been my forte of late and here's why - I'm so homesick! And Busy! Right now i'm packing my whole life back up and headed back to Australia in the morning, I've got a brilliant booking (just wait and see) and I'm aching to see my friends and boyfriend. London is stunning and sunny right now but for me its been a little hollow and I'm truly looking forward to being home and feeling myself again. I still owe my blog pictures from my trip to Berlin and my Jasmine interview (its great by the way, nice and gritty!) and at least a few outfit posts, I do have some new dresses and such which I cant wait to show off.
To those people who have commented on the last few posts those most encouraging words - Thankyou so so much. I really appreciated this. I love you guys!
