It's estimated that 5.7 million Americans have Alzheimer's dementia in 2018. The Alzheimer's Association identifies a number of early signs and symptoms. They are worth reviewing. Now, for every one of these signs, there are typical age-related changes not attributable to Alzheimer's. It might be a matter of degree.
Alzheimer's | Improving Diagnosis & Safeguarding Seniors
Alzheimer's disease affects Californians on an ever greater scale, and Baby Boomers are now at risk. According to the Alzheimer's Assocation, one in eight will develop Alzheimer's disease, while one in six will develop dementia. Stunningly, only half of Alzheimer's cases in America are diagnosed. That means half of all seniors suffering from Alzheimer's aren't getting the care and protection they deserve. Non-diagnosis multiplies the dangers a patient faces, from lack of proper medical treatment to vulnerability to elder financial abuse.
Alzheimer's & Elder Financial Abuse | Vulnerabilities
If you have an elderly loved one with Alzheimer's, you'll know how important it is to look after their safety. It's easy to worry. Maybe your parent or grandparent has left the stove on while cooking, unintentionally causing a fire hazard. Maybe they've wandered off in the neighborhood, only to be found and returned hours later by a good Samaritan. In the same way, a senior suffering from Alzheimer's, dementia or Lewy body dementia is especially vulnerable to elder financial abuse.
Protection of Parents with Alzheimer's | Conflicting Challenges
"Honor thy father and thy mother." This commandment, deeply embedded in our Judeo-Christian heritage, is a fabric of our daily lives. A fabric that draws little reflection, that is until an event or circumstance occurs and unnerves us.
Alzheimer's, Dementia & Estate Crimes | A Disastrous Mix
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia. Millions of American families are dealing with its effects on the sufferer and those around him or her. Almost two-thirds of the 5 million-plus Americans who have Alzheimer's are women.
Dementia & Capacity | Long-Term Memory vs. Short-Term
Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60% to 80% of dementia.
Hackard Law Supports Alzheimer's Foundation | The Wolf at the Door
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America trains healthcare professionals in dementia-specific care, provides free and confidential memory screenings to over 3 million people and provides support, counseling, and education to thousands of people.
Protecting California's Elders with Alzheimer's | Elder Financial Abuse
Our babies are born utterly dependent on their parents or caregivers to feed, shelter, clothe and protect them. Our society, communities and families share a focus on the protection of the young and innocent. This protection is extended to those disabled adults with conditions that require continuing help for physical and medical care.
The Wolf at the Door: Ep. 12 | Alzheimer's Risks to Estates & Trusts
Hello, I'm Mike Hackard. I'm the chair of Hackard Law, a law firm focusing on estate, trust and elder financial abuse litigation in California's major urban areas. I'm the author of The Wolf at The Door: Undue Influence and Elder Financial Abuse. The book will come out in early autumn. This is episode 12, where I discuss ways lawyers can mitigate the risks Alzheimer's disease or dementia can pose to an estate or trust.

Rock Island pictured:
It took me about 3 times going to Rock Island before I saw most of what Rock Island offers. After the third time, I finally feel like I've explored most of the area of Rock Island and can say that this is easily one of my top must-see places in Tennessee. Just take your swim trunks, waterproof shoes, and lunch, and make a day of it.
Greeter Falls
Greeter Falls is the lesser known swimming hole, that is easily one of my favorite waterfalls. It's a short hike with a great swimming hole and cliff jump, and you can easily have a good time cooling off without the crowds.
Fall Creek Falls
Fall Creek Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the Eastern US and is part of the largest Tennessee State Park. I recommend spending some time around Cane Creek falls then take the Cable Trail to Fall Creek Falls. There are multiple falls in the area including Piney Falls, Cane Creek Falls and Cane Creek Cascades, so you could spend plenty of time in the area.
Photo Ops
Narrows of the Harpeth
There's nothing else like it in Middle Tennessee. Watching the sunrise over a farm from a bluff doesn't get much better than this.
Nachez Trace Parkway Bridge
The beautiful rural scenery continues as our tour of Nashville goes to show off brilliant architecture and beauty at the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge. It's also worth a trip to Loveless Cafe to stop for breakfast on the way back to town for some life changing biscuits (expect a wait...this place is popular)
Corneila Fort pictured:
141 acres of abandoned airpark including runways and hangers have made a great place for locals to hang out. Cornelia Fort Airpark was acquired by Shelby Park in 2011 and is open for public to run, bike, or even picnic. The hangers are now bolted shut, but used to make for some awesome photos before people started being hooligans. You can still access the outdoor space, runway included.
Pinewood Social
What do a pool, a bowling alley, a coffee shop, a bar, and a restaurant have in common? Pinewood Social. The first social of it's kind in Nashville, from the creative minds at Strategic Hospitality. They've created the hippest hangout that I've ever seen serving up some of Nashville's best food and drinks.
Marathon Village
If I could describe Marathon Village in one word, it would be "character." What used to be an automobile factory, is now home to many local shops including Mike Wolfe's Antique Archaeology, Corsair Distillery, The Soda Parlor, Safehouse Tattoo, and plenty of artist studio spaces. Spend an hour on the Corsair Distillery tour and try all their award winning spirits.
Broadway pictured:
Broadway has it's own ecosystem apart from Nashville that locals used to avoid, but it's charm and revitalization are attracting more and more people (including locals...sometimes). Every Honky Tonk on the strip features live music and cheap drinks to take you to the next level. Check out Robert's Western World and Acme Feed & Seed. Things to avoid: Pedal Taverns, horse shit, cowboy boots and bachelorette parties.

📑 Revisiting the Genius of Middlemarch
Some great novelists, like Jane Austen, mostly absent themselves from their narratives. George Eliot is present everywhere in Middlemarch, often speaking in the first person. We are in the company of someone humorously wise. It is risky for a novelist to explain her characters' behavior by making observations from life, but she does so with a subtlety that animates those characters rather than turning them into demonstrations.
I remember Middlemarch as being a novel of small things. I really should reread it as it has been a few years.

A memorable moment with Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Sonya Geder-Diggs
(Current Director & Former President of UNA-USA Queens)
I, member, and friend of historic grace Episcopal Church recently met Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town, South Africa for tea on Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Incidentally, it was the anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison 21 years ago. We met at the Desmond and Leah Tutu legacy foundation, which was formed to support local and international projects and initiatives that promote reconciliation, justice, and peace for the benefit of all.
Archbishop Tutu's efforts to support noble causes have earned him a number of prestigious awards –
•Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his contribution towards resolving the issue of apartheid,
•Pacem in Terris Award,
•Sydney Peace Prize,
•Gandhi Peace Prize, and
•The Lincoln Leadership Prize.
South Africa's first multi-racial elections were held in 1994 and Nelson Mandela was elected as the country's first black president. Mandela then appointed Archbishop Tutu as the chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
Fashion Show
Javed S. Ahmad
(Director of UNA-USA Queens)
It all started when Pat Hollander asked me to go to the Technical and Vocational School in Jamaica, New York and speak to the students of the MUN Class. So one fine morning I went to the school and talked to the students about UN and development and similar topics. However, students wanted to know an actual example of how developing countries were being helped. I stated that I could not give examples of UN's mega projects, but could tell them what I was doing myself. In a subsequent session, I told them about the tiny little Bhaun school that I had founded seven years ago, to promote literacy but on community's request, it tuned into a vocational school where young women Bhaun, (a village of Chakwal District in Pakistan) and surrounding communities began to learn tailoring, sewing and computer operations skills. "We have so far trained over 160 women in tailoring skills and about 50 in computer skills. Last year we added a handicraft course in Adda work.". Model UN class at the Thomas Edison Technical High School, Jamaica, New York's some 33 students, of both sexes, were bubbling with enthusiasm and curious to find out what they could do to help.
Later they came up with the idea of raising money by organizing a fashion show. They asked me to get some dresses made in Pakistan and in May 2014, they organized a very impressive fashion show in the school auditorium. This helped raised funds that were given to me to meet the development needs of the school.

Your First Trad Rack/
Have you just started climbing? Are you wondering what would make a good first trad rack? The array of rock climbing gear on offer is often overwhelming and knowing what you need and what you don't need can seem impossible. So to help you get started we've put together some information to help you decide what to buy for your first single pitch climbing adventures.
Lead Climbing Rack- Single Pitch Routes
It's worth mentioning that this is by no way the one definitive rack that will work for everyone or every rock type, it is however a good basic single pitch rack that will work we'll on a variety of rock types for someone who has just started trad climbing. Depending where you climb, and your personal preferences, you may want to tweak this rack by adding and removing items, and as your climbing grade increases so will your need for some additional pieces of gear!
- A belay plate, and a suitable screwgate carabiner that is compatible with it.
- Screwgate carabiner x6 (2 for setting up belays and 4 to go with each sling)
- Wiregate carabiner x 14 (2 for the nuts, 4 for the hexes, 4 for the cams, and 4 to make two extendable quickdraws)
- HMS Screw gate carabiner x1
- A Set of Nuts
- A set of Hexes
- Camming Devices x4
- 60cm sling x 2 (for making extendable quickdraws, often called slingdraws)
- 120cm Slings x3
- 240cm sling x1
- Quickdraws x8
- Nutkey (optional)
- Prussiks Loops (optional)
The Rack Explained
Below is a bit more information and advice on each of the items on the rack.
Belay Plate + Screwgate Carabiner
Any belay plate with two slots will work as this will enable you to use it with half ropes as well if need be. It's important to check that the belay device you get is compatible with the diameter of ropes you intend to use it with. It's worth getting a dedicated carabiner that works well with your belay device. A HMS or Pear Shaped screwgate will work, but personally I use an Oval and this works well for me.
Screwgate Carabiners
There's a whole host of options out there, personally I would avoid the autolocking type as they can be a lot faffier to operate, especially whilst you're getting to grips with the basics. Shape wise then you'll want one HMS for popping your clove hitches in when tying of your anchors at the top of a climb. Several smaller and lighter d-shaped screwgates are good to have with each sling plus a couple spare for attaching to anchors at the top of a climb.
Nuts + Wiregate Carabiners
Nuts are your staple as a trad climber and a single set (1-10/11) should be enough for you first single pitch forays. It's worth mentioning that a double set of wires will be required for longer routes and certain rock types. There are a great selection on offer out there, and I'd recommend buying an anodised (coloured) set so that you can quickly and easily identify which size you want when needed. Personally I think the DMM Walnuts are great, and I rack them on two separate wiregate carabiners, small sizes on one and large sizes on the other, as having all of the wires on one carabiner becomes too faffy when halfway up a route. Plus if you accidently drop them then you won't have lost all of them in one go.
Hexes + Wiregate Carabiners
Hexes generally cover the larger sizes so are a great addition to a set of nuts as they'll enable you to place protection in those larger cracks. Racking them on individual carabiners works well especially with DMM Torque Nuts as they have a sling that can be extended and therefore often you won't need to add a quickdraw. Personally I don't really use hexes these days as often in the larger cracks I can place a good cam anyway. However that does require you to have a good selection of cams. Therefore I still often recommend hexes to clients especially as cams are expensive and so if your budget is limited they could be a great addition, and substitute for a large selection of cams.
Camming Devices + Wiregate Carabiners
I would recommend buying 4 different size cams (eg DMM Dragon Cams size 2,3,4,5) in the same make and model. Try to avoid buying different makes and model as the sizes don't always marry up so you can end up doubling up on certain sizes. For single pitch routes, and when you're starting out, then I wouldn't worry about buying any small cams, or any micro cams, as these aren't necessary especially as you'll have some nuts that you can place in the smaller size cracks anyway. As you do more and more climbing, and as your grade goes up then it would be worth investing in some smaller, and some larger, Cams to complement your existing sizes. Racking each individual cam on a wire gate carabiner works well, and if your as OCD as me then getting carabiners that are the same colour as each cam can make identifying the different sizes a lot easier when there racked up on your harness.
Top Tip- Cams are expensive so if your limited by budget then you could go half's with your climbing partner- for example they could buy all of the half sizes and you could buy all of the whole sizes.
Three 120cm Slings, each with there own d-shaped screwgate carabiner, will enable you to take advantage of any threads or spikes whilst leading or setting up a belay at the top of the crag. An additional 240cm sling can be handy for setting up a belay at the top of the crag. Slings can be made from different materials: nylon, dynema, aramid etc. Any of these will do and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Personally for rock climbing I would go for dynema, or aramid, as these are slightly lighter than nylon and less bulky when racked up on your harness or around your body.
A good selection of different length quickdraws is handy. I usually go for two shorter ones (12cm), a few mid length ones (18cm), two slightly longer ones (22cm), and a couple of extendable quickdraws (aka Slingdraws). The shorter ones are great for limiting the distance you might fall so these can be useful for using on your first pieces of gear as you can't afford to fall to far as your still near the ground. For the same reason they can also be useful higher up to help you minimise the potential for you falling and hitting any ledges or protrusions. Mid length draws are your staple as a traditional climber and they're pretty handy as often our gear isn't in a straight line so the added length can help reduce the likelihood of your gear lifting out. Extendable quickdraws are great for using on pieces of gear that are quite a way off to one side or underneath any bulges as they help to keep your rope/s running straight, which in turn reduces rope drag and the likelihood of the gear lifting out.
What Should the 'Second' Have?
As well as getting a lead rack then don't forget that depending on who you're climbing with they'll also need to have the following items:
- A belay plate, and a suitable screwgate carabiner that is compatible with it.
- A Nutkey
Optional Extras
You don't necessarily need to carry one of these as a lead climber, but personally I often do. I find it can be handy if a nut your trying to place gets stuck whilst your leading or whilst your trying to set up a belay at the top of the crag. It is however worth considering which way round and where to hang it on your harness so that it can't impale you should you fall off.
Prussiks? Knife?
These are short knotted loops of 5mm or 6mm climbing cord. A Prussik is only as good as the person using it, therefore there only worth carrying if you know what to do with them. They are often used to back up a belay plate when abseiling and they have a whole range of uses when in comes to performing various self rescue techniques. If you don't know how to use them then it can be worth getting some Instruction. Also for multi pitch routes I often carry a small knife which can be useful for cutting tat for abseils etc, however for single pitch routes I generally don't take one, but it does live on the carabiner that has my prussiks so I can't forget it.

WHITTIER, Calif. – The Whittier College Men's Basketball team suffered a heartbreaker Tuesday night inside of the Graham Athletic Center seeing their comeback hopes fall short 80-79 against Hanover College.
The Purple & Gold outscored the Panthers 44-33 in the second half erasing a 12-point halftime deficit and had an opportunity with 1.2 seconds left to win the game but couldn't get off a shot as time expired.
Whittier drops now to 2-8, 0-2 SCIAC and have now lost four of five in the month of December. Hanover had a big game from senior Cam Fails who posted a career high 32-points, which included a six-for-seven performance from behind the arc. He was tough to stop as he came in as a pre-season All-American by D3hoops, while being mentioned in the Street & Smith's National Basketball Yearbook.
The Poets got off to a slow start seeing the Panthers jump out to a double digit lead at the break. Nick Potthoff (Phoenix, AZ) kept the Poets in the contest pouring in 10 of his team high 16 points with four boards over the first twenty minutes. HC opened the game with a 10-2 run with Fails scoring seven of them over the first 2:20. They then added a 15-2 spurt that pushed their advantage to 21, which was their largest lead of the game.
But the Poets battled and chipped away at the lead over the final 5:16 of the period. Potthoff started the comeback with back to back triples, Kenyatta Louder (Compton, Calif.) went 3-for-4 from the charity stripe and Joey Toyama (Pasadena, Calif.) would add a jumper and three-pointer that made the score 43-33.
Hanover extended their lead to as many as 16 on two different occasions in the second half, including a 73-57 advantage with 6:33 left. But again the Poets would rally outscoring HC 22-7 the rest of the way, which included a 12-3 run early with Potthoff again answering from deep followed by five straight from Louder, which included another tre. With 1:10 left, the fireworks started. Isaac Hibbard made one of two from the free throw line that moved the score to 79-74. Journey Shank (Burbank, Calif.) had an opportunity to cut the deficit to three with a pair of free throws but missed both.
After a pair of missed free throws from HC on their next possession, Whittier capitalized with :36 seconds left as Conner Longmire (Tarzana, Calif.) connected from deep making it a two point game. Whittier picked up a foul on their next possession sending Hibbard to the line. He would go 1-2 giving WC a chance. After a missed three-pointer to tie it, Louder got the offensive board and laid in a two cutting the deficit to one. Whittier provided a press on the in bounder and almost picked up the turnover but HC was able to gather it and again would miss a layup giving the Poets one last look. From the endline, Whittier got the ball past half court with 1.2 seconds left but couldn't get off a shot as Hanover held on for the victory.
Whittier battled though in the game shooting 47.4% from the field and 41% from behind the arc. They won the battle on the glass 37-30 and turned the ball over just 16 times. They received 27 points from their bench and added 26 points inside the paint, while earning 19 points off turnovers.
Potthoff just missed out on a double double with 16 points and nine boards. Louder added 14 points with seven rebounds and Kyle Price (Rocklin, Calif.) once again was strong inside with 14 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks.
Off the bench, Toyama registered 12 points going 5-for-9 from the field and Longmire chipped in with eight points and six boards in 17 minutes of action.
Whittier now enters the holiday break and will return to practice next week in preparation for UC Santa Cruz next Saturday, December 29 beginning at 7:00pm.

Toyota Corolla Altis is an executive sedan powered by a petrol and diesel engine, which are mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The petrol, though, also has an option of a 7 Speed i CVT automatic transmission for added convenience. In terms of safety, all variants of the Toyota Corolla Altis comes with ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, dual front and driver knee airbags as standard across all its trims. Upper variants also have vehicle stability management, impact sensing fuel cut off and clutch start system. The exterior has a resemblance to its more expensive sibling, the Camry Hybrid. A dual headlamp unit with projector beam headlamp unit and an LED tail lamp unit complement the 4,620 mm long sedan's contemporary design.
Rear reclining seats with best in class leg space add to comfort
7 inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth is easy to use
Paddle shifts on the automatic transmission variants give better control of the gearbox
The Toyota Corolla Altis measures 4,620 mm in length, 1,775 in width and 1,475 mm in height. With a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, the Altis has a large cabin. The three box car offers a choice of steel rims with wheel covers and alloy wheels that are available in 15 and 16 inch sizes with their respective tyres sized at 195/65 and 205/55 section. The front houses a dual LED headlamp in each unit and the rear is an LED setup. The strong shoulder lines merge with the front and the rear to form an elegant design, which isn't too loud but has good road presence.
The Toyota Corolla Altis has the best in segment leg space with rear reclining seats for added comfort. Upfront, the black and beige dashboard is elegant and houses the 7 inch touchscreen infotainment unit that has USB, AUX in, Radio and Bluetooth streaming. A multifunction information display shows essential information such as distance to empty, average fuel consumption etc. The chunky steering wheel has audio and phone controls mounted on it. A seperate switchgear behind the steering wheel operates the cruise control.
The Toyota Corolla Altis is powered by two engines, a 1,798 cc petrol motor and a 1,364 cc diesel unit. While the petrol produces 138 hp power at 6,400 rpm and 173Nm torque at 4,000 rpm, the diesel generates 87hp at 3,800 rpm and 205Nm between 1,800 rpm and 2,800 rpm. Both engines are refined and the sound proofing controls sound intrusion inside the cabin.
Gearbox options on the Corolla Altis include a 6 speed manual for the petrol and diesel engines. In addition, there is a 7 speed i CVT automatic transmission for the petrol engine only. Both tranmissions are matched well to the engine, helping fuel efficiency and drivability.
Keeping safety on priority, the Toyota Corolla Altis comes with front dual and driver knee airbags as well as ABS as standard on all variants. The upper GL and VL petrol variants also get vehicle stability management
Certified mileage of the Toyota Corolla Altis petrol manual and automatic versions are 14.5 km/l. The diesel has a claimed mileage of 21 km/l. These figures are acceptable for its segment.

Conditions during development can shape the expression of traits at adulthood, a phenomenon called developmental plasticity. In this context, factors such as nutrition or health state during development can affect current and subsequent physiology, body size, brain structure, ornamentation, and behavior. However, many of the links between developmental and adult phenotype are poorly understood. I performed a series of experiments using a common molecular currency - carotenoid pigments - to track somatic and reproductive investments through development and into adulthood. Carotenoids are red, orange, or yellow pigments that: (a) animals must acquire from their diets, (b) can be physiologically beneficial, …

Highly impressive! I'm still waiting to catch this bird in a photo.
Great pic
The blue paint almost matches perfectly with the sky, and that belly is sooo shiny!! Don't care too much for the passenger inside, but the plane is a beauty!!
More importantly, Thank You to the USAF Members who keep this bird in tip-top shape, operating smoothly and on-time. The president is just a passenger (albeit an important one) on this jet.
Beautiful plane, and beautiful, perfectly clear sky!
Very nice shot !!
Imagine driving and seeing this bird fly past, wow!

Happy New Year's Eve, my friends! This is my last post of 2013 in this blog, and I have stuff to say!
I wanted to say an enormous THANK YOU to all the SL creators who allowed me to blog for them this past year. Clothes, hair, shoes, poses, and home decor – plus everything in between – you all are the the reason why Second Life remains amazing year after year. You guys keep us looking good, posing pretty, and keep our houses looking more gorgeous than anything we could have ever hoped for. It's been a true honor this past year to use your creations and I am so looking forward to what you guys come up with in 2014!
And to my readers – thank you. Every time I post something and someone favorites a pic on flickr or IMs me to say "I saw what you showed and had to go buy it!" I seriously feel proud. What I do is not as big as what the creators of SL do, but I'm happy when you guys take the time to let me know that you like what I do. If bloggers didn't have readers, we'd have nothing. ♥
Please be careful if you're going out tonight and I'll see you next year!

Michelin-starred Med cuisine, a Beauty Farm medi-spa, and seaside chic as only Capri knows how. Capri Palace's past is recorded in its vaulted ceilings and columns, now a backdrop for huge sofas and artworks; and the pool, overlooking the Isle of Ischia, where you can nibble on exotic-fruit skewers while wearing oversized sunglasses, sets the tone of Italian indulgence.
Fabulous therapeutic spa
Huge and glamorous pool overlooking the Isle of Ischia
Perfect for see-and-be-seen sojourns in Capri
Smith extra
Welcome aperitifs for two at Bar degli Artisti; GoldSmiths also get €50 credit to be used in a single sitting at Ragu Restaurant
In the know
Also need to know:
Hire one of the hotel's two 15-metre Baia motor boats or its 20-metre yacht to explore the Amalfi waters. Book a Star Junior Suite or above, and the hotel will throw in a bottle of champagne and a fruit platter on arrival, a three-course fine-dining experience for two at L'Olivo Restaurant on your first day, a free 50-minute massage at the Capri Beauty Farm for one person, and provide free soft drinks in your minibar.
Packing tips:
Carefully pack your softest cashmere for evenings snuggled up on the balcony watching the sun setting over the Isle of Ischia.
Dress code:
Italian-style elegance.
Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Pizza is not really meant to be the food of love. It's a convenience thing, a boy thing, even, roughly put together and lacking in sophistication. That is until you get to southern Italy. We're sitting in the last rays of the setting autumn sun, on a terrace overlooking the main square of Anacapri, Capri's northern village. Below, Italian signore and cute little white-frocked schoolchildren are strolling between the café tables up and down the steep paved alleys that lead on to the piazza, shouting to their mammas, dodging the three-wheeler Vespa vans that run madcap around the island.
Our terrace is actually a balcony, and a waiter, jocular, gigoloesque but for his girth, is holding court among the tables. He is nodding approvingly at the length of Mrs Smith's skirt and giving Mr Smith a knowing wink. The beer is cold, the sun is warm and then the pizza arrives. It is possibly the most seductive hunk of dough, tomato and cheese in the world. You won't know until you've been there.
This particular pizza parlour neighbours the Capri Palace, a luxury Capri hotel and the island's five-star flagship. Our arrival off the hydrofoil from Naples harbour (40 minutes), had augured well when the driver swept us off the boat, gathering our bags and shepherding us into quite the strangest and amusing vehicle – a stretch white Fiat Punto Cabriolet Limousine. Yes, really. This seemed bizarre until you realise that everything on Capri is miniaturised, even the vehicles. So a limo is a Punto, a street is an alley, the locals are all tiny and the buses are all mini.
This Liliputian charm gives the island an other-worldly, dreamlike quality, almost as if you'd stepped into the pages of a picture-book. The island is just a series of jagged cliffs connected by hair-raising paths, secret caves, deep-stepped passages and cute toy townhouses set into the cliffside. You take all this in as you are driven from the port to the north of the island, to Anacapri and the Capri Palace Hotel – 'the most exclusive residence on the island', according to our highly enthusiastic little limo driver.
The hotel doesn't disappoint. Entering through a draped muslin paradise of trickling water and yellow stone, you realise you are walking up under the hotel pool, which has windows in its walls like an aquarium. The reception leads into a kitsch Eighties bar, which somehow works (and where you can only order martini, if you've got any sense of place). Weird Jeff Koons-type art decorates the place – plastic mermaids and a boat made of TVs are just two of the bar's installations. Fabulous.
Some of the rooms are much more traditional, which is just as well, because a plastic mermaid might be a bit scary in the middle of the night. Egyptian-cotton counterpanes on four-poster musliny beds, sound systems (take your own music), plasma TVs and marble bathrooms all complete the picture. This Mr and Mrs Smith took some persuading to leave the counterpane – the pizza was a rare excursion.
In the morning, the sun streams through the balcony, but check out the ground-floor rooms too, which come with their own private pool. Breakfast is comprehensively luxurious and you can have as much as you like (I particularly liked the overflowing bowls of clementines, picked from the trees outside the window). Room service is good, too, but you must check out the Michelin-starred restaurant, which serves stunning Italian food at a much more sophisticated level than the surrounding trattorie.
In the evening, all the tables in the restaurant, foyer and bar are lit with tealights, and the hotel spills out into the garden beside the pool. It becomes very clear that this is a honeymoon destination. But you must tear yourself away from the hotel, if nothing but for the food, which, as you are in Italy, is sumptuous. The local speciality is a heavenly tomato and cheese ravioli but the mozzarella is full-fat, the Parma ham is delicately spicy, the fish is über-fresh and the olives fat and juicy. Only the Italians have the right to serve food this good – and pretty much all the restaurants come up to standard. There is little to choose between them.
By day, you should do your best to tear Mrs Smith away from the shops (it's a credit-card danger zone out there, with fabulous Prada and Pucci boutiques, not to mention the handicraft shops that make the famous Capri leather sandals, of which she may want to buy an obscene quantity). Do this by hiring a boat and cruising around the cliffs on a blue, blue sea – the water is usually flat and you can do the island in a day. And there are boats for all budgets. You can get a simple fisherman's barca for next to nothing, or the hotel will sort you out with a millionaire's gin palace. (Taking one of these back to Naples might be a seriously impressive move as far as any Mrs Smith is concerned).
By night, once you have eaten as much of the delicious food as you can without failing to fit into your skinny white jeans, you can hit the clubs. If you are visiting in season, it will be hard to avoid them – the Italians love to party. If you are there out of season, as we were, you'll probably end up being much more chilled. Nice.
There was only one disappointment with Capri Palace: we found out, on our return, that they have the most incredible leg spa – no one had told us! Situated at the back of the hotel, it is made up of a series of interconnecting whirlpools and water walkways. As you stroll through the waist-high water, your legs are treated to alternate bursts of pummeling and lightly massaging bubbles at different temperatures. Curative for folk with serious circulation issues, their 'leg hospital' as they call it, is also beloved by film stars about to shoot a scene where they show off their pins. Sadly, this fan of short skirts and would-be Marilyn missed out on the action. Next time. And I'll be packing my micromini.

Thursday, Land Gorilla, a provider of construction loan management software, integrated its technology with Black Knight's loan origination system.
This integration will bring much needed advancements to the construction lending industry by providing lenders with full visibility and control of their construction loan pipeline, from origination to post-close management.
"The integration of the Empower system and Land Gorilla's CLM software will benefit our mutual lender clients by helping them better manage the draw management processes for the construction period more efficiently," said Rich Gagliano, Black Knight president of origination technologies.
Lenders will now be able to transfer their loan data from Black Knight's Empower system to Land Gorilla's Construction Loan Manager. This will save time for loan onboarding, increase process efficiency and consistency and reduce errors.
"We are very excited to bring our premier technologies together in this integration to provide a more efficient experience for lenders," Land Gorilla CEO Sean Faries said. "The integration between Black Knight and Land Gorilla will equip users with the transparency, risk abatement and cost efficiencies required to be successful and meet the growing demand for construction and renovation loans."
Earlier this year, a panel of experts at the NEXT women's mortgage tech conference agreed – construction lending needs to change.
This integration is the latest in a string of efforts that attempt to revolutionize the construction lending industry. For example, back in November, Built Technologies announced it raised $21 million in order to revolutionize construction lending, saying it plans to use the money to expand in residential and commercial construction.
And during that same time, Fannie Mae announced that it could be on the verge of introducing a pilot program to change the way it buys residential construction loans. Under the new program, Fannie Mae would buy the loan on the first day of construction, possibly making the loan easier to get and cheaper. The borrower wouldn't begin making payments until after they moved into the home.
And earlier this year, Built also announced its integration with Black Knight's LoanSphere platform for digital construction loans.

Pearl Jam just released their ninth studio album entitled "Backspacer". As some of you might know, I am a fairly big fan of PJ and have seen them live a total of six times (so far), the most recent in Chicago a few weeks ago with my brother (@JLipan). Despite all of this, I would like to think my review of their most recent effort will be fairly objective but I guess you can be the judge of that.
The first few tracks on the album come with a distinctively upbeat feel to them with a hint of punk which seem to echo band frontman Eddie Vedder's lyrics, "I'm gonna shake this thing, I wanna shake this pain before I retire" from the first track Gonna See My Friend. This followed by Got Some and The Fixer, both of which I got to see performed live at their Chicago show. The energy is high right out of the gate and the music is in your face without being obnoxious.
The remaining tracks on this album sustain the level of energy but seem to really showcase Vedder's vocals, not unlike his solo work for the soundtrack "Into The Wild". This sounds especially true on the tracks Just Breathe, Amongst The Waves, Unthought Known and Speed Of Sound. These tracks are intermixed with songs like Supersonic and Force Of Nature which lean back to the punk/rock side of things.
Overall I have really enjoyed the album, apart from the album cover art. I was honestly not expecting to like this album very much but am finding the more I listen to it, the more I really like it as a whole. Of course there are some songs I like much more than others but there isn't one on "Backspacer" that I particularly don't like, which is cool. I think it really has "play all the way through" value. I'm having a hard time deciding whether Just Breathe, Amongst The Waves or Speed Of Sound is my favorite track on the album so feel free to help me out by giving this album a listen. I would recommend checking it out.

Is there a PJ album that you cannot play all the way through? Including the B-sides and the re-release of Ten.

coming from a die-hard fan such as yourself, i can understand your point. i would guess there are plenty of people who would not agree with us but to each his own.

Album art - not that's something you don't see mentioned in most modern day critiques. refreshing! Remember the days when you use to put the record on, spread the album cover art out on the floor and study it as you listened to the music? I can still smell the musty aroma of the inside of the album cover. And, anyone who cared at all knew to put the album slip cover into the album caseing 90 degrees off so the album couldn't slip out and dust couldn't get in! sigh...

marty morrow: thanks for the read and comment.
being married to a painter has certainly made me more aware of art and design (or lack thereof). now, i might be dating myself a little but my only real experience with vinyls was messing with my dad's or watching him do as you described. i can however vividly remember the musty smell.
i actually have a record player in my house but i need to spend a little time with because i think the turntable belt is old and keeps slipping. any advice let me know.
thanks again for sharing.

advice on slipping turntable belt? well, you could replace it or just keep it the way it is. I think that's how we all discovered that Paul McCartney was dead on the Beatle's album. Oh, and it makes all the other bands sound like the Moody Blues.

Driver who refused medical aid after crashing truck died of blunt force trauma
Justin Spisak, the San Luis Obispo man who declined medical aid after crashing his truck in the North County on Nov. 27, died of blunt force trauma to the head, with multiple drugs in his system contributing to his death, Sheriff's Department officials said Monday.
The blunt force trauma was from the crash that happened after Spisak's truck rolled off El Camino Real and into a ditch just south of Atascadero, officials said.
"The question is had he not refused medical aid, could the ER have detected the blunt force trauma wound that was not visible from the outside," Sheriff's Department spokesman Rob Bryn said. "And we just don't know."
The 21-year-old apparently decided to forgo help because he said he was not hurt, police have said. He then reportedly went to bed and didn't wake up that morning.
There were no traces of alcohol in his system, according to the toxicology report, and the drugs in his system were benzodiazepine, methadone trazodone and valproic acid.
The coroner was not available at press time to describe the drugs or say why Spisak was taking them.
Spisak's family previously declined to discuss his medical history or motivations in declining aid, saying that recalling his death was too emotionally difficult to talk about. They did, however, describe a young man who never dwelled on the past, looked to the future and spent each day in between focusing on the people he loved.
Officials aren't certain on how long the drugs had been in Spisak's system at time of his death, adding those results are still several weeks away.

Victoria Chaplin & Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée
How can one re-imbue the journey with mystery and adventure in a world which is ordered and organised on a global scale? When our only escape from mundane reality are the images that randomly intertwine in our mind's eye, can there still be artists who leap into the void and whose 'Faustian impulse' enable them to marry the unmeldable: imagination and reality? What could such alchemy bring forth?
Le cirque invisible, the invisible circus which combines the phantasmagorical with the poetic, has been crisscrossing the world and touching hearts for forty years. Born of the on-stage encounter of two unique and genuine artists, Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée and Victoria Chaplin, Le cirque invisible remains uncompromising in its demands: it would embellish our everyday lives with magic. Anything can happen, everything is allowed amidst the laughter and emotion when something unexpectedly magical takes places before our eyes…
Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée is not just an extraordinary conjurer: his on-stage presence is stripped bare of the greasepaint splendour of special effects. He calls to mind the harlequins who entertained children and adults alike with the simplest of means. And Thiérrée is a natural comedian, too, whose tricks and gaffes—but, above all, his disarming smile—never fail to raise a laugh. For her part, Victoria Chaplin, acrobat and queen of his heart, transforms herself into the most bizarre creatures on-stage using simple, everyday objects ranging from umbrellas and kitchen utensils to fabric and bicycle wheels. An exotic bird or one-woman band, Chaplin crafts everything herself by hand and reality and imagination become one. At their side, a unique band of players: a rabbit who changes size under Thiérrée's 'guidance', and a flock of unruly and curious ducks who introduce themselves to the audience at the end of the performance..

We want the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Paypal and Stripe for wrongfully suppressing competition.
A team of 80 volunteers is working together to generate and submit a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking the FTC to initiate an investigation into the possible collusion and anti-competitive behavior among Patreon, PayPal and Stripe in an attempt to suppress free speech.
Over the past 18 months we've seen many attempts by online platforms to cut off services to disfavored speakers. One such instance took place in December of 2018, when a website called Patreon moved to terminate services to a YouTuber. Patreon allows fans (or patrons) to financially support content creators (like Youtubers) and other artists using recurring financial contributions. Having pioneered this patron model, Patreon quickly became the dominate company in its market.
Normally most would dismiss the banning of a single content creator as an independent act by a tech platform. However, something else happened …
As a result of the popularity of the banned Youtuber, unsolicited attention and free public relations has been focused on a startup called SubscribeStar, a competitor to Patreon. Very few ever heard of SubscribeStar. It was started only a year prior to these events. It had very few creators on its site. When fans of the banned Youtuber started looking for a way to show their support, they turned to SubscribeStar.
As a result of the banning of the popular YouTuber, many fans and supporters terminated their accounts with Patreon in protest. This movement gained national attention as several prominent public figures announced their intention to stop utilizing Patreon.
Functionally, SubscribeStar was a direct competitor to Patreon. It too utilized the services of PayPal and Stripe, the two most dominant players I the credit card processing industry to enable financial contributions between fan and their favorite content creators. Having never heard a single complaint or objection from PayPal and Stripe, within a few days SubscribeStar's credit card payment facilities were cancelled.
What would make PayPal and Stripe terminate their services to their new client (SubscribeStar)? It makes no business sense. If one of your client (Patreon) is losing many users as protest for the banning of a popular youtuber, wouldn't PayPal and Stripe benefit from having another client (SubscribeStar) regain all those users? It's that decision that is at the heart of this complaint.
It is the position of this group of volunteers that PayPal and Stripe moved quickly to kill off SubscribeStar in order to protect their client, Patreon, from damages. What is the basis for this contention? It's what the courts call the "Plus Factor". When you see two actions taking place in parallel to one another, a plus factor is any action that makes no sense that otherwise connects those two parallel actions.
The banning of a popular youtubers by Patreon, followed by the termination of credit card facilities to a Patreon competitor that received unrequested attention and focus … That's the plus factor. The acts by PayPal and Stripe make no business sense unless you understand it in connection with the move to ban the youtuber and the negative resultant impact on Patreon.
This is where we come in. We are working hard to draft and file a complaint with the FTC to urge the agency to start an investigation into the anti-competitive and collusive behavior of Patreon, PayPal and Stripe. Companies may have rights to terminate any single user, but the law forbids collusion that undermine the competitiveness of the marketplace.

18 Feb 2019 update from Lior Leser
I've been holding calls with team leaders. It's hard to express how impressive the volunteers are. They're spending so many hours doing research, drafting documents, building a website, designing tools for internal organizations and managing a large organization. Progress is steady and moving forward. We've set many internal goals and timelines. Many of these goals will become obvious over the next few days and weeks. Other goals, we've going to hold closer to the vest in order to no undermine the efforts through disclosure.
12 Feb 2019 update from Lior Leser
Back at work full time after a terrible week. The team needed some restructuring after its fast growth (over 80 volunteers as of a week ago). Nonetheless, all is moving forward. The legal and business analysis teams are working hard on the complaint, the web team is putting finishing touches on the initial website and the tech team is kicking ass on powerful new tools.
29 Jan 2019 update from Lior Leser
Progress so far today: (1) shared goals and tasks with the IT/web team (2) drafted specific goals and tasks for business research team and (3) shared outline of the complaint with the legal team. On top of that, I've been scheduling another full day of interviews with volunteers. I think I'm at over 10 Skype calls scheduled for tomorrow.
25 Jan 2019 update from Lior Leser
One of the challenging area in this project is how to build organization and efficiency around a loose association of individual with a common goal. It requires a great deal of focus on driving concrete goals and establishing realistic tasks so that everyone understands what must be done first and what can be done later. It's the only way to assure that the organization efficiently performs rather then spins its wheels. That's My biggest immediate challenge. I'm working on drafting specific and timely goals for each sub-unit or group. Wish me luck!
24 Jan 2019 update from Lior Leser
Over the past two weeks, I've worked with many volunteers on setting up the organization that will enable our complaint to the FTC. This has been (still is) a fairly large undertaking. Originally, when I announced on Dec 27th that I will be filing a complaint, I thought that I will be doing this alone. I did not realize how many felt a personal responsibility to contribute to this cause.
Since that time, I've organized the project into five working groups including (1) legal research, (2) business research, (3) IT, (4) Content, and (5) Admin. I've spoken by phone/Skype to the majority of the volunteers and now I'm working on setting up small working groups around the tasks outlined in my original plan.
I've also been working on outlining the FTC complaint. After speaking with several volunteer lawyers and law students, I'll be dividing up the complaint into questions. Each lawyer/law student team will work on a small and manageable series of legal questions. We'll be work cooperatively on producing a single final product.
We'll that's the plan. It is somewhat of an experiment. Alone, I can do this, but it will take a long time. Together, we hope to accomplish far more and in a shorter period of time. Can a group of individual across the globe crowd-source an effective complaint to the FTC?
Join us and help us defend free speech!

JUST when you thought Harry Kewell had ticked off every injury in the medical encyclopedia, wife Sheree Murphy has revealed the Liverpool midfielder suffers from Restless Legs Syndrome.
The oft-crocked Aussie twitches at night and has to use pillows to lift his legs in the air so he can get to sleep.
Sheree said: "Every time he goes to bed at night he gets about 10 cushions, piles them up one on top of the other and puts his legs up.
"He twitches his legs constantly if he doesn't have his pillows and it really bugs me. When we sleep in a hotel or something he gets all the cushions off the sofa and piles them up in bed.
"He's happy as Larry once they're up there, but he's up all night if his legs aren't elevated."

Defeating Jezebel confirmed some things I already knew, connected some things I had not been previously able to, articulated some things I knew, yet could not express, and yes, taught me things I never knew before about this crafty spirit. I'm convinced most people don't really understand the depth, layers, levels, intricacy, power, and meditated end of this spirit. Jennifer articulates Defeating Jezebel with wonderful prophetic accuracy and divine revelation.

For the mountain hunter there is little that is more rewarding than reveling in the greatness and the solitude of the backcountry while pursuing game, all the while relying only on yourself and your decisions. Mountain hunting takes on a whole new meaning when you step away from the safety and security of the roads and immerse yourself into the backcountry. It's a daunting feat for the beginner, and that's why we created the Backcountry Hunter's course.
Kalinski Consulting & Training Services and Guiderite Adventures teamed up to create this one-of-a-kind course to get you started on the right foot. Luke Carrick of Guidetrite Adventures is a professional hunting guide with over 20 years of experience backpack hunting the northwest, all over North America, and Africa. Caylen Wojcik of Kalinski has 20 years of experience behind a rifle, and has been a backpack hunter for 8 years. As partners, Caylen and Luke decided to bring their knowledge together and create this unique training opportunity. Our goal at the Backcountry Hunter's Course is to give you the knowledge, tools, and experience you need to be confident, safe, and successful on a backcountry backpack hunt.
You can expect to cover a mountain of information (pun intended) during the 5 days you'll spend with us. We'll start off with two days on the rifle range, learning the necessary skills you'll need to make a responsible and ethical shot under austere conditions, with the end state goal of you having a solid grasp of your capabilities, and your limitations with your rifle. Moving into the backcountry, you'll put on your pack and spend three days in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest simulating a typical backcountry hunt. There you'll learn about gear, how to pack your pack, fit your pack, land navigation, locating game, and taking live-fire shots under real-world conditions.
What You'll Learn:
On the range
In the backcountry
This is a fantastic course and we love to teach it and pass this information along to an ever-expanding group of hunters who want to push past the status quo. With that being said, this is a physically demanding three days in the mountains. The Cascade mountains aren't small, or gentle. Nor will they give up their stunning views without your maximum effort. We've been teaching this course for 5 years, and we can't stress enough that your physical capability is going to directly impact not only how much fun you're going to have, but how much information you'll be able to retain. Wanting to give our students the best experience possible, this year we've reached out to a close friend, John Warren, who is a subject matter expert in the areas of physical conditioning programming and nutrition. John has written up a 30 day body and pack-weight only training program to get you ready. Being in excellent physical and mental condition is the gateway for a mountain hunter. Once you register, you'll receive the program and access to John for questions.
Gear Loans
The gear list is big. We get it. We understand that there's monetary barriers for entry into this type of hunting. Let's face it, gear is expensive, and excellent gear is even more expensive. It's daunting to look at those price tags and not know if you're paying for something that's either going to break, or in the end not work for you. Luke and Caylen have been through this for a long time and they've spent the time, misery, and money to find out what works and what doesn't. Our point is, we've got gear for you to use! Those big ticket items like backpacks, tents, sleeping pads, and stoves, we've got them if you need them. It's always best to try before you buy, and here's an excellent opportunity to do so. So, BEFORE you get sticker shock looking at the gear list, give us a shout and you may be surprised that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get to the course and learn.
If you do not see any upcoming courses please contact us and we will let you know when one becomes available.

Separation Advice - How to protect your property when you first separate
Separating from your partner is a painful time, and there can be many things to think about and organise. It is easy to overlook the legal steps you should take to protect you and your family.
You may think that there is nothing "legal" to be done until it is time to divorce, but in order to protect your assets, you should consider the following immediately upon separation
Notices of Claim
All property, including cars, houses, bank accounts and shares should be checked to ensure that they cannot be disposed of or debts increased without your consent. For example, if your name is not on the title to your home, your partner could sell the property before you agree on how to deal with it. In these circumstances, a lawyer can register a notice of claim, to prevent your ex-partner or spouse from doing anything with the property without your agreement.
Update your will
You should review your will, and make any necessary changes to ensure your property would pass according to your wishes. Often your previous will leaves everything to your now former-partner. If you do not amend your will, or you do not have a will, your partner would still inherit in the event of your death. This can happen even if you have been separated for a long time.
In this situation, if you had children, they would have to engage in costly and stressful estate litigation against your former partner in order to challenge the will.
If you change your will, you should still be aware that until you formalise your division of property, your partner will still be entitled to make an estate claim upon your death.
Sever any Joint Tenancy
Usually, the title of any residential or commercial property you own with your partner or spouse will be listed as a joint tenancy. This means that the property will automatically pass to your ex-partner in the event of your death, regardless of what is stated in your will. A lawyer can amend the title to be "tenants-in-common" on the instruction of either party. Your share of the property will no longer automatically pass to your partner upon death, instead it will be part of your estate, to be dealt with according to your will.
Determine Separation Date
If both parties agree, it is best to formally confirm the agreed separation date in writing as this can have significant legal consequences. If you can not agree on the date, you may want to consider applying for a Separation Order. In the past, Separation Orders were used to formalize the legal separation, including the "right" to live apart. These days they are mainly useful to determine a legal date of separation when there is a dispute over the date.
Formalise your division of property
Regardless of separation, or even legal divorce, a former partner or spouse will have rights to claim against your property and your estate until there is either a formal end of relationship agreement pursuant to Section 21 of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976, or Court orders dividing your property. This should be progressed as soon as possible.
There are strict legal requirements that need to be met in order to make an end of relationship agreement binding. Engage a skilled family lawyer to ensure you and your family are protected from future claims during your lifetime, and after your death.
Remember: Early and specialist legal advice is your best protection in a separation.
Do you need assistance with a separation issue? Do you need to take steps to protect your property?
If you would like to become a client of Smith and Partners and get help with your separation, please contact Separation Lawyer, Ellen Harbidge on 09 837 6890 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to set up an appointment to discuss your separation.
We will require a retainer to be paid prior to your first meeting, and we cannot assist with legal aid matters.
Please note that In accordance with our obligations under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006, we cannot provide legal advice unless you have become a client of Smith and Partners and have received our Terms & Conditions of Engagement and Info for Clients.

The Night illuminated by star-light.
Lightning storms rumble--thunder echoes thru the valley.
Pulsating light cracks the sky,
and the heat-mist becomes alive and visible for a moment.
At the Mtn. top,
it is only open air.
No ceiling to bear
its hideous lid--
plenty of room
to imagine.
Like a whip
to the back,
thunder cracks!
Pink bolts sizzle.
The purple air
swells w/ heat.
You can smell rain
in the air, but it hasn't
come yet.
I imagine I
am Caduceus--
the symbol of health and vigor.
This sanguine storm rumbling thru
my Mind is alive on the outside.
The decibels make glass shatter.
Imagine harnessing such power,
and focusing it.
Build a prism, not a prison.
Shine and give, don't trap the light.
Snakes w/ wings.
Red, sanguine.
Thunder rolls, lightning strikes.
Toil hath made me weary.
I'm alright--I need some sleep.
It is time to Dream.
Something inside
stays awake all the time,
even if you
never wake-up
to pay attention.
