So soon after that dust-up about whether the 13-year-old CarlOcab is really responsible for his remarkably grown-up blog (about which I have my own thoughts, but they're for a later post), Jayvee Fernandez has stirred up another fracas with his accusation that someone was "misrepresenting" the "treasure" that is the Philippine blogosphere in a talk with "industry experts:"
"It is such a sad experience to have a blogger misrepresent the Philippine blogosphere for his or her own merit. Recently, a huge conference was held and some industry folk mentioned a particular blogger who gave such a compelling presentation about the Philippine blogosphere. It was so compelling because it was the first BIG time that the local industry's eyes were opened to the spectacle that is the Philippine blogosphere."
Quite a mouthful. Because Mr. Fernandez did not bother to name names, his readers were sufficiently intrigued, a number of them demanding that he make his charges specific. That he did in a follow-up post, this time naming Jannette Toral as the culprit. Apparently, Ms. Toral was the invited speaker in a major conference where she talked about the worldwide blogging phenomenon and its local variant.
What got Mr. Fernandez's goat was this: that Ms. Toral had the temerity to cite as examples of the local blogosphere "in action" the projects she had herself initiated.
"The presentation should have used more blog examples outside the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs project, outside Rockista Craze (her daughter), and outside her own blogs," admonished Mr. Fernandez.
Then he went on to enumerate "other blogger-initiated projects that [he feels] Janette should have included in her presentation," among them the Philippine Blog Awards 2007, his own pet project, and the "Blog Parties and Regional Blog Conferences" of which, he neglected to mention, he is often an organizer or active participant.
This isn't the sort of fray I'd like to get into, as my blog hardly touches on the petty politics and puny pissing contests among the local blogging crowd. I also have not met Ms. Toral, even if a sufficient number of bloggers did vote me into her "Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs" project. But I'd like to speak up now, because Mr. Fernandez said something in his first post that literally unnerved me. His parting shot, after unloading the not-so-subtle warning that the unnamed "blogger/speaker may be just a little misguided and I hope it doesn't happen again," [underscoring mine] was this:
"If bloggers are invited to speak in front of a crowd of industry experts (yay!!!), bear in mind that you bring forward with you the hundreds of personalities of the local blogosphere."
Now, I have a few questions for Mr. Fernandez. Where is it written, exactly, that if we do get to speak about local blogging before a crowd, we automatically become its representative, spokesperson, living embodiment, image model? Why should this be so? What canon of blogging am I violating if, say, I get invited to share my experience about blogging for theater and the arts, which is this site's niche, and I fail to mention that, oh, there are other bloggers and "blog-initiated activities" out there? In what way, for that matter, was Ms. Toral wrong in using examples close to her heart, borne out of her efforts and hard work and that she had expertise on, when talking about this activity?
Take note, Mr. Fernandez, that you yourself were careful to say that Ms. Toral had only cited "examples." In your subsequent post you dissected her Powerpoint presentation, but still you didn't say that she had generalized in any adverse way about local blogging. So what was it that really riled you up?
I have a guess: the fact that she talked about something that you thought you had a better grasp of. You're a blogging pioneer hereabouts, everybody recognizes that, so how dumb was it for the conference organizers to invite someone less knowledgeable about the subject? You simply felt you could have done a better job explaining the big picture. You had the list of examples down pat, capped with this very helpful remark: "It would actually be cool to compile a list of all of these initiations and send them to Janette to help her in the future with her presentations."
I'd like to invite you to listen to yourself for a second, Mr. Fernandez. Don't you realize how condescending that last sentence was? You're showing up Ms. Toral for the inadequate researcher that she was compared to you. Her "misguided" fault, in effect, was blabbing about the local blogosphere without first running the information by you. You could have vetted it first, given it your imprimatur, before it went before the conference and "misrepresented" the community you imagine yourself to be a stalwart caretaker of. The nerve of Ms. Toral to talk about something she hadn't officially received from On High.
Ms. Toral might have missed out on some facts. If this were truly about helping her, you could have e-mailed her your "comments and suggestions" privately. But to publicly characterize her omission as something that "misrepresents... for his or her own merit" is the height of arrogance and hasty judgment. The implication of active malice in what she did is hypocritical, to say the least. A few weeks after I started blogging in September last year a friend dragged me to this bloggers' meet-up at the National Sports Grill in Greenbelt where you, Abe Olandres and Noemi Dado discussed how to make money out of one's blog. What examples did you use? Your own blogs.
I do not particularly care whether you, Mr. Olandres and Ms. Dado talk or not talk about your respective blogs in forums. That's your right. But I do care that what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Then it was alright, I suppose, because The Pioneers were the ones talking. Now that an interloper deigns to encroach on territory you think is yours by entitlement, there is only bad faith involved. But no worries, of course, it's a wrinkle that can be easily resolved with one simple gesture, if we parse your parting shot correctly. Next time, Ms. Toral or others of her stripe should be humble enough to receive guidance and tutorship from you before mouthing off.
What if she doesn't want to, Mr. Fernandez? What if she refuses to make use of the Received Wisdom promulgated by you and your clique? That will make you "sad" again that she "misrepresents... for his or her own merit," wouldn't it--enough for you to write an accusatory post that conveniently omits the names but piles on the innuendo?
Datu, a commenter in your blog, is right. This is nothing less than the Mafia, a "barkada of sorts where if you're not part of the IN group, you get hammered for anything and everything under the sun that they can attack you with." People like us who weren't there at the Glorious Beginning are now saddled with rules promulgated by the gods of local blogging.
First, whenever we speak about blogging, we "bring forward with [us] the hundreds of personalities of the local blogosphere." Never mind that most bloggers can very well speak for themselves and do not need a mouthpiece. Why should I even presume to be a stand-in for the rest? But then, I'm not you, Mr. Fernandez. I cannot make that presumption. That mantle of Manifest Destiny? It's all yours.
Second, we cannot ever cite our blogs as an example of our blogging experience, because it would paint a "misleading" picture of how "vibrant the Philippine blogosphere is."
Or as you put it, "It is very different case when one uses the blogosphere for personal merit."
Pray, how do you use your blog? For charity? You blog about yourself, your projects, your parties, your friends, your guitar-strumming. How is that not for personal merit?
In fact, what if someone like me, speaking about the local blogosphere, deviates from the approved talking points, forgets about being a dang "spokesperson," and says something like, "Some local bloggers are high-hat bullies," citing you and your blog as a specific example, would I be "misrepresenting" there? It's my opinion. I have two of your posts to back me up.
I don't foresee it, since unlike you I don't relish speaking before crowds, but if I do find myself one day talking about my blogging experience before a throng, I'll make sure to NOT follow your advice. I've no wish to be part of the "treasure" that is the Philippine blogosphere if it means living with The Mob.
By the way, editor to editor: it's "flak," not "flack."

Harvesting and Drying Herbs
I have a huge crop of tarragon, thyme, thai basil, lemon basil, and flat leaf parsley in my garden.
We just had our first frost, so I'm ready to bring everything inside to dry.
What are your favorite methods for drying and storing large amounts of home-grown herbs?
I do not own a dehydrator, but have convection, conventional, and microwave ovens...and a kitchen with a lot of windows.
I have successfully dried small batches on paper towel out on the counter, but I'm worried about mold, etc. with such a large crop.

The employment data was the last major report card on the economy before Tuesday's presidential election.
"In 2008, we were in the middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And today our businesses have created nearly five and a half million new jobs and this morning we learned that companies hired more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months," Mr Obama told a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally in Ohio.
Polls show Obama and Republican Mitt Romney locked in a dead heat in a race in which the nation's feeble jobs market has been front and center.
Despite the political wrangling, the impact of the report on the election will likely be muted as most voters' perceptions on the economy are likely fixed by now.
Obama also rejected a Romney statement during an earlier campaign rally in Ohio saying Chrysler was moving Jeep vehicle production out of the United States to China.
The Romney campaign later aired an advertisement that did not repeat the move of production from Ohio but said that Chrysler is considering making Jeeps in China, which Chrysler has said.
"You've got folks that work in the Jeep plant who have been calling their employers, worried, asking their employers, 'is it true? Are our jobs being shipped to China?'. And the reason they are making these calls is because governor Romney has been running an ad that says so. Except, it's not true," Obama said.
Obama's campaign, in its own ad, said Romney was making a "false claim" and noted that Chrysler had challenged Romney's statement.
Chrysler has said it is not moving Jeep work to China.
Ohio is seen by many political pollsters one of several key "swing" states in next Tuesday's (November 6) presidential election.

Braintree Scanner Tales: Three separate drug arrests made in Braintree
Man allegedly found with marijuana and "Special K"
A 25-year-old from Augusta, Maine, was arrested on Wednesday morning after allegedly crashing his vehicle while on drugs.
Police said the accident occurred at Five Corners. Responding officers said they found the man in an altered state, but uninjured. He was transported to South Shore Hospital.
A search of the man's vehicle uncovered a gym bag in the truck containing several mason jars of marijuana, several large plastic bags filled with marijuana, and additional marijuana in a waterproof box, police said. The total weight was less than 19 ounces.
A backpack found in the car also contained almost $8,500 in cash, police said.
Officers also reported discovering a plastic bag on the passenger seat containing 39 grams of a white powder that later tested positive for katamine hydrochloride, also known as "Special K" on the street.
The money and the drugs were seized, police said, and the man placed under arrest.
His name has not been released due to medical privacy laws; however, he was charged with operating under the influence of drugs, trafficking in a Class A substance (ketamine), possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and a drug-free school zone violation (nearby day care center).
Two charged with selling drugs
Two Braintree men were arrested Thursday morning after the men were allegedly selling prescription medication.
According to police, the first man was arrested at his home after detectives observed the suspect fill a prescription for Oxycodone last Thursday and then allegedly sell several pills to a second suspect.
Detectives had the first suspect's home under surveillance after watching him fill the Oxycodone prescription at a local pharmacy. While watching the house, the second suspect pulled into the driveway, had a brief interaction with the homeowner, and then left.
The second suspect was stopped a short distance away and police said they discovered six Oxycodone pills in the suspect's pocket. The man told police where he obtained the pills, police said, and he was arrested.
Detectives returned to the first suspect's home and also arrested him.
William Kelly, 67, was charged with distribution of Oxycodone and conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act.
Dario A. Ripaldi, 26, was charged with possession of Oxycodone.
Braintree man charged with pot, cocaine possession
A Braintree man was arrested Friday after police say he was allegedly dealing drugs.
According to police, the suspect had been the subject of an investigation into drug sales in and around Braintree for several months, and his home had been under periodic surveillance.
On Friday, while watching the house, detectives observed a Dodge Intrepid, occupied by three people, pull into the suspect's driveway.
The men remained in the vehicle and the suspect left his home and approached them, met them briefly, then returned inside the house, police said.
The vehicle was stopped after it drove away. A search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered a bag of marijuana on the rear passenger floor, which police believed came from the suspect's home.
Shortly after the car stop, detectives served a search warrant at the suspect's home and seized marijuana, cocaine, and evidence of drug packaging, police said.
Matthew J. Mahoney, 20, was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, distribution of marijuana, and conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act.

The Plaza is the first step in changing the face of affordable housing in the City. We are proud to lead the development of this historic neighborhood and the quality of life of its future residents.
--Evette Hester
Montgomery, AL (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
Redefining the future of one of the city's most historic neighborhoods, the Montgomery Housing Authority (MHA) today joined with Mayor Todd Strange and HUD Director Michael German of the Alabama Field Office, to break ground on The Plaza at Centennial Hill, a $22.7 million revitalization effort that will serve as the catalyst for the rejuvenation of the heart of Centennial Hill. The 129-unit, mixed-income affordable housing community will replace the demolished Victor Tulane Court Public Housing development and is MHA's first public-private venture, leveraging City, State and federal funding.
"The Plaza is the first step in changing the face of affordable housing in the City. We are proud to lead the development of this historic neighborhood and the quality of life of its future residents," said Evette Hester, Executive Director of the MHA.
Donning hard hats and with shovels in hand, officials stood side by side with residents in the neighborhood that was once synonymous with the Civil Rights Movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Funding for the development, which marks a new beginning for this historic and important downtown neighborhood, came from City of Montgomery and housing authority funds, as well as equity raised through the sale of federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Featuring both apartment flats and townhouses in two and three bedroom layouts, The Plaza at Centennial Hill will also include a community center where supportive services will be offered to Plaza residents as well as the community at large.
MHA selected The Michaels Development Company, which is the nation's number one, privately held affordable housing developer, as its private sector partner for The Plaza at Centennial Hill. Professional property management will be offered by Michaels' sister company, Interstate Realty Management, ensuring that the community remains a quality asset to the neighborhood for years to come.
"We at the City of Montgomery are proud of the collaborative effort between the private sector and multiple public agencies to breathe new life into an area that has seen its better days," said Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange. "This groundbreaking marks a new day for the Centennial Hill and Adams Avenue area of Montgomery."
The construction, which is scheduled to be completed by June 2013, is expected to generate many good jobs for local residents. The Michaels Development Company and the Montgomery Housing Authority selected a local company, Stallings and Sons, to serve as The General Contractor. Other partners include a local architect, W. Barry Robinson who is working with the Architect of Record, Torti Gallas and Partners, and Flower and White Engineering, which is providing civil engineering services.
"The Plaza is the foundation on which many families will build and strengthen prosperous lives. This development respects the expanded needs of housing communities to ensure that we thrive together for years to come," said John F. Knight Jr., Chairman of the Montgomery Housing Authority Board of Commissioners.
About The Montgomery Housing Authority: Since its creation in 1937, MHA has demonstrated expertise and capability in managing its public housing and assisted programs. Through partnerships with community organizations, agencies and local governments, MHA provides housing and homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income persons and families. It takes a leadership role in providing programs and resources for residents that promote and encourage self-sufficiency, self-esteem and self-determination. The mission of MHA is to "be the leader in making available excellent, affordable housing for low and moderate-income persons through effective management and the wise stewardship of public funds."
About The Michaels Organization: Headquartered in Marlton, NJ, The Michaels Organization is a family of eight integrated but independent companies dedicated to excellence in affordable, mixed-income, military housing, and student housing. Michaels Development Company is the number one privately held affordable housing developer in the country and in 2010 was named the Multifamily Development Firm of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders. Interstate Realty Management is an award-winning property and asset management company offering nationally acclaimed social services. The Michaels Organization currently owns more than 44,000 units and manages more than 39,000 units in 32 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WKBN) — A pharmacist from Salem was sentenced Thursday in federal court to two years in prison after previously pleading guilty to health care fraud.
Bruce E. Franken, 53, also was ordered to pay more than $300,000 in restitution and will be on probation for three years. The case was handled by U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach for the Northern District of Ohio.
"This sentence sends an important message that there will be consequences for those that try to game programs such as Medicaid," Dettelbach said. "Our office will continue to stamp out waste, fraud and abuse of all federal programs, particularly those that affect our health care system."
Franken was excluded in 2003 from participating in all federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for a minimum of 10 years as a result of his 2001 felony conviction for theft of drugs, according to court documents.
From May 14, 2009, through July 14, 2011, Franken worked as a pharmacist at J.H. Lease Pharmacy, 229 N. Ellsworth Ave. in Salem. He filled prescriptions for Medicaid recipients even though he knew he was excluded from participation in all federal health care programs, Dettelbach said in a news release.
As a result of Franken's unauthorized and fraudulent claims, Medicaid was billed and subsequently paid these prescriptions that Franken was prohibited from providing in the amount of $301,550, according to court documents.
"This defendant filled these prescriptions with complete disregard for the law because he knew that he was legally prohibited from doing so," said Attorney General Mike DeWine. "Because of his previous crimes, he was not allowed to work with Medicaid recipients, and he had no right to completely ignore this restriction."

Panettone Pancakes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Pulling out some of the key flavors of a Panettone, namely the raisins, candied citron and lemon peel, I gave my basic pancake recipe a holiday flavor. A little cinnamon ups the holiday ante, yet some clove or cardamom would also be welcome additions. - raisedbycoffee —raisedbycoffee
Food52 Review: These were very good and a nice tribute to traditional panettone. They cooked a little hot on my very average stovetop— I'd keep the heat at no more than medium. We don't have much in the way of sweet teeth and so we just topped them with butter and enjoyed them. —jstew52
Serves 4
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 3/4 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons candied citron or orange, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well mixed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, butter and eggs. Add liquid ingredients quickly to flour mixture and combine, but do not overbeat. Finally, mix in raisins, citron, and lemon zest until well incorporated into mixture.
- Heat and lightly butter a skillet or pan over medium high heat. Gently stir the batter before each pancake to evenly distribute the fruit that may have sunk to the bottom of the bowl. Add about 1/3 cup of batter to skillet and flip pancakes when edges look cooked and center begins to bubble.
- Remove pancakes and keep pancakes warm in oven until all are ready to serve.
- Pancakes can be served with maple syrup, but to sustain the seasonal sentiment, top with honey and sauteed pears or apples.

"Helmets flew and scuffles broke out" - that was the most striking common phrase from the press coverage of political demonstrations in 1973, the year I began my research on that subject. Judging from the press coverage of the student demonstrations against the government's removal of the cap on tuition fees here in the UK, nothing has changed. See for example the coverage in The Independent: "Worst violence contained on national day of protest"
The broad ideological position on political demonstrations still holds in the minds of Britain's reporters: demos amount to misguided political activity which fails to achieve its objectives and which always leads to violence. That fundamentally reactionary position seems not to have changed in the last 37 years. The demonstrators, however middle-class and "largely peaceful", always ultimately lose control and a "mob vents its fury on an empty police van". Driven by emotion, they are always "angry", thus failing to see the eternal merits of going through the established political channels of parliamentary democracy.
In this case, of course, the irony is that during the election, a key mechanism of parliamentary democracy, the Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, had opposed the raising of tuition fees. So much for established political channels! They allow politicians to make electoral promises and flagrantly break them a few months later because it suits their political careers. No wonder the students demonstrated on the streets as opposed to lobbying their MPs! Although it was reported that some students' organizations will try to unseat Mr Clegg at the first available opportunity, they will undoubtedly have to wait as the parliamentary system makes little provision for breaching electoral promises.
Perhaps though, in recognition of the continued failure of the system of parliamentary democracy to regulate the poor moral behaviour of politicians with their high expenses and low commitment to truth, the reports should have read:
Helmets remained fast and scuffles were rare as middle-class youth expressed its anger at the Lib Dems' failure to stick to their word on tuition fees. A few people were knocked around a bit but basically the Lib Dems' lies will go unpunished - until the next election.
Things do change a little though. No helmets flew on this demo: both sides wore crash helmets, tightly strapped on with modern professionalism. And females were far more predominant than ever: the Independent's story featuring a photograph of an angry helmeted female giving the single-finger salute, North-American style to our nation's finest. She may of course have been an overseas student from North America, given that fewer English students can afford to go to UK universities these days.......

announcing: the pleasure merchant
posted by molly under novels, publishing, writing | permalink | | leave a comment | Comments Off on announcing: the pleasure merchant
I won't just have one novel out next year… I'll have two!
LFP, who did such a great job with A Pretty Mouth, will be putting out my second full-length novel, The Pleasure Merchant, in Fall 2015. The formal announcement is here, on Pornokitch. I'm really stoked. Here's a short description:
The Pleasure Merchant;
Or, The Modern Pygmalion
"To truly know a man, you must know his pleasure…"
Tom Dawne is a modest boy with modest dreams that befit his modest station in life. An orphan, apprenticed to a respectable wigmaker, all Tom has ever wanted is to learn his trade, marry his master's daughter, and become a full partner in the business.
Unfortunately, after a mysterious young gentleman calling himself Callow Bewit tampers with one of Tom's most important commissions, Tom is summarily dismissed and turned out into the street. It's as strange as it is unfair—Tom has no idea how the youth planted all those playing cards in the damn wig, causing its owner to be accused of cheating during a high-stakes game at a very fancy party. But he must have done it—Tom certainly had nothing to do with the affair.
Stranger still, in the wake of Tom's disgrace, Callow Bewit's father, the very rich and very unhappy Mr. Tiercel Bewit, offers Tom a new job… as his "cup-bearer," whatever that means. Tom takes the position, even though it's uncertain why Mr. Bewit feels any responsibility toward him at all—the boy in the wig shop was most definitely an impostor, for Mr. Bewit's son Callow is away in Europe on his grand tour. Could it be the gentleman had something to do with the scandal? Or is he simply a kindly old man with a heart of gold?
Whatever the case might be, Mr. Bewit's generosity initiates Tom's meteoric rise in 18th century London society. But as Tom goes from disgraced apprentice to gentleman's servant, and then from gentleman's servant to gentleman-in-training, his desires change as much as his duties, and his pleasures even more than his station. Once, a small shop and an intelligent bride would have satisfied Tom's every desire. Now all he can dream of is climbing the social ladder, even if he's unsure what's at the top.
When Tom meets a man who claims he can obtain Tom's ultimate pleasure—for a price—what will Tom ask for? A secure life as an obscure tradesman? A fate more glittering and glorious? Or something darker, like revenge on those who have wronged him? Pleasure can take many forms, after all…

TALLAHASSEE - Florida has more smart students than originally thought.
The number eligible for lottery-funded Bright Futures Scholarships is higher this year than budget writers estimated, leaving the program short of cash.
A joint legislative commission fixed the problem Thursday, shuffling about $7.9-million in unbudgeted lottery money into the program to keep from having to reduce scholarship amounts.
Now it's estimated $276-million will be used for 129,540 students.

I recently have been saving up some cash for a new computer. I havent really done a lot with computers in the past and i was wondering if there is anything i should know before i begin my build.
How long it might take?
Problems along the way?
How badly can i mess it up?
Is it more of a process of plugging things in or more of a hands on process?
Im hoping to run WoW at the highest settings or close to it using a combination of the parts listed in the "Setup of the Month" on this site a few weeks ago, trying to keep it under $1400.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Born: November 28, 1976
Date of Birth: November 28, 1976
Born in Sydney, Australia, Ryan Kwanten got into acting by chance when he was 15 years old. His brother was auditioning to get into an acting agency, while Ryan and his mother waited in the car. Finally, Ryan went in to see how much longer it would be, and when the agent spotted Ryan, she was immediately interested and signed him on (his brother didn't make it).
His first role was as a young surfer on the Australian TV series Home and Away. He then landed a regular role as Ben Lloyd on the long-running series A Country Practice. Kwanten's movie debut was in Signal One (1994).
After playing roles in the TV series Echo Point, Water Rats and Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord, he wound up joining the cast of Home and Away in the regular role of Vinnie Patterson. Overnight, he became a heartthrob in Australia, staying with the show for several years while also attending university to study business.
In 2002, Kwanten landed a lead role as a surfer in the motion picture Liquid Bridge (2003), which premiered at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. Later that year, he moved to Los Angeles and following guest spots on CBS-TV's The Handler and Fox-TV's Tru Calling, he wound up playing a regular role as an Australian surfer living in Southern California in Summerland (2004 - 2005).
When the series ended, he played a lead role in the major motion picture Flicka before landing the starring role in Universal Pictures' Dead Silence (2007), written and directed by the creators of the successful Saw movies. He also provided the voice of Kludd in the animated feature Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010). On the small screen, Kwanten stars as Jason Stackhouse in the popular TV series True Blood. He most recently played the lead role in The Right Kind of Wrong(2013) alongside Sara Canning.
In his spare time, Kwanten enjoys surfing, skiing, tennis, swimming and playing pool.

Andre Ethier's 29-game hitting has me thinking about Joe DiMaggio.
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away, but he still casts a long, graceful shadow.
Count me among those who believe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak will never be broken. Not by the Dodgers' Ethier or by anybody else.
Hitting a baseball against major league pitching is one of the most difficult skills in all of sports. Hitting safely in 56 straight big-league games is almost unfathomable.
Throw in unrelenting media pressure and the free-swinging nature of today's players and DiMaggio's legendary streak is safer than ever.
A story by SI.com's Cliff Corcoran illustrates just how rare the Yankee Clipper's feat truly is.
Corcoran points to a 2008 computer simulation by Cornell professor Steven Strogatz and graduate student Samuel Arbesman, who published their results in the New York Times. Writes Corcoran:
"Strogatz and Arbesman simulated the entire history of baseball, from 1871 to 2005, 10,000 times, using every major league player and their actual batting averages, and produced roughly 4,200 streaks of 56 games or more. That sounds like a lot until you realize they simulated 1.34 million seasons and such streaks occurred in just 0.3 percent of them, or one every 319 years."
What's more, in 2003, a computer simulation was run by Bob Brown and Peter Goodrich for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)'s Baseball Research Journal. Their study found that a hitter of DiMaggio's ability could have played for 18,519 years and not hit in 56-straight games on more than one occasion.
Of course, all of that is just probability. Here is the reality of what DiMaggio did 70 years ago. During his famous streak, DiMaggio had 91 hits, including 22 multi-hit games, and posted a .408 batting average. He hit 15 home runs and drove in 55 runs.
But here are the numbers that separate DiMaggio from Ethier and every other player in baseball history: During the 56-game streak, DiMaggio struck out a grand total of five times. Five!
During the entire 1941 season, he stuck out 13 times, in 621 plate appearances and 541 at-bats.
During his 29-game hitting streak, Ethier has already whiffed 20 times. The Rockies' Dexter Fowler has already struck out 35 times in 103 at-bats this season, and teammate Chris Iannetta has whiffed 24 times in just 60 at-bats.
Trivia time
Who owns the Rockies' record for the longest consecutive game hitting streak? (Answer below)
"Only halfway? It's nothing to get too caught up in or too excited about right now."
— Ethier, talking to reporters after his streak reached 28 games.
Reader's rant
"Iannetta's new nickname is: I-Cant-hitta."
— Evan B, posting after Iannetta popped out with the bases loaded in the eighth Tuesday night, ending a Rockies' threat in a 4-3 loss to Arizona. The catcher is hitting .183.
In case you missed it
Bright, sunny days favor pitchers, and cloudy days are better for hitters.
So says an analysis by Wes P. Kent and Scott C. Sheridan published by the American Meteorological Society.
"Brighter conditions may result in increased eye strain for a batter and a higher level of glare in a ballpark," the researchers say.
Their analysis is based on statistics from 10,758 major league day games played between 1987 and 2002. They came up with these stats:
Home teams had a .266 batting average on cloudy days, but that slipped to .259 on clear days. For visitors, the batting average was .256 when it was cloudy and .251 on clear days.
For more on their findings, read The Associated Press story.
Trivia answer
Dante Bichette holds the Rockies' club record for consecutive games with a hit. He hit safely in 23 straight games, from May 22 to June 18, 1995.

After the shock Emirates defeat to Hull, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was pleased with the 4-0 success over Porto. The Frenchman told Sky Sports News: "I believe sometimes you have to give a chance to the players that were not completely up for it.
"If you do change one or two, then why not four, five or six. The response was very important. If that had not come then it would have been different.
"It was a convincing 4-0 win. We were shocked after Saturday's defeat and we responded to that with a 4-0 home win over Porto.
"I believe we were focused, disciplined and did not take all our chances. Overall, we would have taken 4-0 before the game.
"But it is only half of the week. The next important half is against Sunderland on Saturday.
"We have plenty of character. We are maturing and in progress. We are ambitious and confident and sometimes maybe overconfident."
Arsenal captain William Gallas added: "We had a point to prove. Nobody likes to lose and it was very important for us to win tonight.
"Like the boss said, we have to play together and fight together. We did a good job tonight."

Last little update,
Finally home yesterday evening, feels really good to be back. I'll be laid up for quite some time.
Had a left femur fracture that was repaired with a rod the night of the accident at St. Peter in Olympia. Other than some jammed/swollen fingers/thumb, I don't believe there are any other injuries.
Very good crew at St. Peter. Always felt like I was in very good hands. Didn't get the joke that the only room at the hospital was in Labor and Delivery, but I'm hoping the 30-35 mg of morphine had something to do with that!
Again WMRRA, thanks all for the thoughts and best wishes, you are all the coolest!

If you've ever fancied the idea of building a server to store your ever-growing collection of media files, be they movies, photos or music, but have been put off doing so because it seems far too complicated to build one yourself, or you've simply no idea how to go about doing it, then read on. I've put together a step-by-step guide showing you how to build and configure a media server that is far more powerful and far more flexible than any of the "pre-built" systems on the market today. Not only that but it's cheaper too!
I've had a few people ask me this so before we go too far let me explain the setup I have in my house. Hopefully then you'll see why you might want one too.
I have a TV and Media Streamer in most rooms in my house. In each of these rooms I have the ability to watch any Freeview channel. I can also pause, rewind and record any Freeview channel as well as watch anything I've previously recorded. I can watch a single Sky channel or any of the videos, DVDs or Blu-ray disks I own. I can also listen to music, either owned music or internet radio, along with being able to browse the family photo album. Not only that but each room can do all of this independently of any other room. Sound exciting? Well, there's more! If I'm watching something, say, in the sitting room and decide to go to bed I can continue watching it in the bedroom, at the exact same point I left it in the sitting room!
Whilst you can achieve the same without going for a central server you'd need a PVR, a DVD player, Blu-ray player, VCR and radio in each room. Furthermore you'd have to record the same TV programme on every PVR to allow you to watch a particular recorded programme in any room.
Now, going that route is not only very impractical but it can also get rather expensive too since each room would have to have all that equipment in it. You'd also need multiple copies of every DVD, Blu-ray, video and music CD you own along with duplicates of the family album to have the same level of flexibility as I have with my setup. Not only that but you'd struggle to be able to pause, say, a blu-ray in one room and continue watching it in another at the exact same point.
Instead of duplicating your media collection you could of course keep the physical disks in one room, on the understanding that anyone in the house can "borrow" one when needed. But in my house the disks would never get put back when they'd finished with them and so you'd be forever on a treasure hunt trying to find your favourite disk.
Once you've concluded that you need, or at least want, a media server you have two basic choices: 1) build your own or 2) buy a pre-built device.
Over the past few years I've owned quite a few of the pre-built devices out there but none have been the perfect one for me. They've all started off just fine but I've simply outgrown them. Hence my decision to build my own one.
So, having decided to build my own media server what exactly were my requirements for it? Well, in no particular order they were:
It must be quiet.
It must use relatively little power when it's not streaming media. This device will be running 24/7 and so running costs cannot be ignored. My view on power consumption is that when this server is running full steam it can dim the lights in the whole street for all I care but when it's idle I want it to throttle down and use less than a light bulb.
If must not generate a lot of heat. This server is going to live in a, relatively, air-tight cupboard and I don't want to install extra cooling in the cupboard. Doing so would use power and add noise. Oh, the cupboard by the way is in the main bedroom of the house, hence my desire for it to be quiet.
It must be flexible enough to do pretty much what I want with it. I don't want to hit the same brick walls I've hit with all the other pre-built "servers" I've bought in the past.
I want to be able to record TV programmes with it. I then want to be able to stream these programmes around the house. I have a few media streamers and a PS3 too so it must be able to support these.
In the rooms without a TV I'm using Squeezeboxes so this server must be able to support them too.
It must be able to run torrent downloads. I want this server to automatically download my favourite TV shows and make these shows available to all my Media Streamers and PS3. Previously I had to dump TV shows from my Sky+ box onto DVD and then rip the DVDs onto my NAS before I could stream them around the house.
It must be powerful enough to support multiple, simultaneous, High-Definition video streams. Not only that, but it must be able to do this whilst doing other things too, such as backing up my desktop computers or re-encoding video files.
It must be headless. BUT I don't want to learn hundreds of commands to be able to configure it so I need a GUI interface too. Hmm, headless AND a GUI interface?
It must be stable. I don't want to be tinkering with it every 5 minutes. Nor do I want to be rebooting it every couple of days.
I don't want to have to buy an operating system for it. Nor do I want to be worried about the latest and greatest virus infecting it. This means going for a Linux-based Operating System such as Ubuntu or ClarkConnect or similar.
Since this server will live in a cupboard and be running 24/7 I want it to be able to monitor its own temperatures and to shutdown automatically if things get a bit too "toasty". I want it to send me an email if it's going to shutdown so I know it's not happy and is in need of my attention.
As mentioned above, it must be able to throttle down when idle. By this I mean the drives must spin down when they're not being used. This will save power and ease cooling.
It mustn't cost the earth to buy.
If I ever get bored with it, or change my mind about this whole central media server idea, then I want to be able to put it to good use elsewhere. e.g. use it as a desktop computer.
Now, whilst there are a few pre-built devices out there that can do one or more of the above, NONE of them can do all of the above so I had little choice but to build my own.
Erm, no you don't.
If you'd have asked me 10 years ago what operating system I would recommend using for a media server then I doubt very much I would have said Linux. However, many Linux "flavours" have moved on in leaps and bounds over the last few years and today I would whole heartedly recommend using Linux if you're thinking of building your own media server, even if you've never used Linux before.
It is true that some "flavours" of Linux still retain their guru status but if you take Ubuntu as an example, you can now buy "home computers" from major retailers that are running Ubuntu. This was totally unheard of a few years ago!
Talking about what this media server must be able to do is one thing but you want to know how to actually build it, right? Of course you do. So then, without further ado, here are my 5 steps to happiness:
If you're unsure what front-end to use to view all you movies then be sure to check out Kodi

Earlier this year, 30 Seconds to Mars made an open call for footage documenting "a day in the life of America" on July 4. The band used the submissions to create their new video for "Walk on Water," featuring a massive array of clips from coast to coast. You see helicopters flying over cityscapes, Independence Day celebrations and more.

"Over 10,000 generous and creative people submitted footage—in addition to our 92 professional crews," the video's caption reads. "We filmed in all fifty states, Puerto Rico and D.C. and captured a portrait of this country that is absolutely beautiful, challenging and unforgettable."
Some of the videos include audio from interviews and facts about the United States are displayed throughout: "99 percent of Americans are immigrants or descended from immigrants," for example. Words like FAITH, ADVENTURE, VICTORY and ESCAPE also flash across the screen. Each clip is tagged with a state and a time of day, reminding viewers that the footage was recorded in real time.

A Drab Interior is Now Richly Colored to Highlight Art
What do you do when one of your worst nightmares comes true? For Claudia Juestel, whose Nob Hill apartment and virtually all of its contents were destroyed after a Christmas-tree fire, the answer was move and start over.
A fresh start forced the interior designer to make the most of small space living, and she readily admits that her collection of global furniture and accessories are a mix of the real thing and budget pieces from Cost Plus.

The ARTNER wine estate encompasses 35 hectares of some of the best wine-growing locations in Carnuntum. This ambitious wine region is located in the eastern part of Austria, close to Vienna. These areas are primarily south-facing slopes and benefit from the climatic influence of the Neusiedler See and the nearby Danube.
The Artner wine estate has specialized in Austrian grape varieties such as Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch. A wide range of excellent white wines, which display the typical characteristics of their region, is also available – like the indigenous grapes Grüner Veltliner and Welschriesling. In addition to the Austrian varieties, the estate also has many years experience in the vinification of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and succeeds in producing complex, harmonious wines with wonderful potential every year.
Besides the winery the Family ARTNER runs two sophisticated wine restaurants in the heart of Austria´s Capitol Vienna and a traditional Wine Tavern called "Heuriger in the old farmhouse" – located in the wine region of Carnuntum.
Fresh citrus notes combined with white pepper are rounded off with a spicy tang. A clean, light, acidic finish across the palate rounds off this pleasant refreshing wine.
Fresh peach notes combine with a crisp body. A clean light acidic finish with nice sugar balance across the palate rounds off this pleasant wine.
Light pink color, refreshing aroma of strawberries and raspberries, fresh and harmonious on the palate with light finish. Perfect as an aperitif.

Three downtown property owners who occupy land needed for the extension of Korean Veterans Boulevard, the future southern border of Nashville's new Music City Center, haven't accepted financial offers for their land.
"We're extremely dissatisfied with the offer," said Eddie Grant, president of Tennessee Electric Motors Co., which operates at Sixth Avenue and Franklin Street, in the path of the future street extension.
"You can't do anything about them taking it," he added. "They're going to take it anyway. But it's just going through the judicial or legal system, however you want to put it."
The long-discussed extension, which would effectively create a new street from Fourth Avenue South to a planned roundabout at Eighth Avenue South, recently entered a right-of-way acquisition phase. The street project is envisioned as a complement to Music City Center, slated to open in February 2013.
Mark Macy, assistant director of the Metro Public Works Department, which has been working with the Tennessee Department of Transportation during the land acquisition process, said seven of 10 property owners of land within the site of the extension have accepted offers to relocate. He said financial offers are based on federal acquisition regulations, which he described as a "fair" set of guidelines that considers a property's market value and cost to relocate, among other things.
"We have 10 relocations that are scheduled," Macy said. "Seven of the 10 have already agreed to take payments or take a buyout."
For confidentiality purposes during ongoing negotiations, Macy said he could not say the dollar figures offered to property owners or which three property owners still haven't accepted.
The City Paper contacted Grant, whose family has owned the Sixth Avenue land since 1955. He confirmed he has received an offer but doesn't plan to accept it. Grant declined to reveal the sum of the offer.
Asked if he's prepared to engage in an eminent domain battle over the property, Grant said he is.
Macy said offers still haven't been made to two other owners of land that falls within the future KVB extension: Omni Hotels, the company behind an anchor hotel for the new convention center, and Tower Investments, a development company that has been involved in an lawsuit against Metro over the value of land that the city condemned to build Music City Center.
Eighty percent of the extension project's total estimated $44 million cost is to come from federal dollars, with Metro covering the rest of the load.
Construction on the extension won't begin until properties are secured, which Metro officials hope to complete by the end of this year. Project leaders hope to finalize construction of the street project near the opening of Music City Center in early 2013.
this is more of KARL DEAN getting what he wants , how many more people is he going to put out of bussiness and destroy for his pet $ 500,000.00 project
hes an idiot and a dangerous one
please some one run against this power money hungry idiot
why cant we find a poor honest man to put in that will work for the people imstead of these million aires that are bored and want to mess with our system and play with peoples lives
"why can't we find a poor honest man to put in that will work for the people instead of these millionaires that are bored and want to mess with our system and play with people's lives"
Because no poor honest man can afford to run for mayor, the bias media will not assist with free air time and it is too expensive for us to run. The system is broken and the crooked control the media. There has not been an honest report from either news print or TV in years.
I agree about Dean, he is crooked, dishonest SOB that bullies small businesses and lines the pockets of his friends.
Why are these idiots trying to fight a legal battle they WILL NOT WIN. Take the offer and move on. The stress and legal fees aren't worth it. They will end up with nothing in the end. The lawyers will be the only winners. Take the offer and move on honey. You're not going to win.
well lets say we give you about 50% of your home or bussiness value and tell you to move !
would you take the money and move on HONEY ? , the real idiots are KARL DEAN and the people like you saying its ok for him to do as he has to nashville.
but you both are not from here so you dont understand a little thing called loyalty to nashville and our people
Most of the time it is private owners trying to increase the value of their land to make a killing on the government, my money. In the majority of the cases it's better to take the offer and avoid the legal fees. I'm sure their attorney gave them that advise, lol. Metro need to make sure this gateway is landscaped and maintained at all times. It's usually not in great condition in the summer and this will be the first impression of visiting guest to the convention center. Spend the money to make and impression.
airvols, exactly. They are only trying to squeeze more money out of the deal. They are being offered fair market value plus money to relocate. As I said, the only winner will be the lawyers.
Did you read where the city of Nashville gives the Chamber hundreds of thousands of dollars.? They were behind the demise of the fairgrounds. They thought that they could get this done before the public caught on. Remember when Sonny West let the builders tear down "Evergreen House" to build a Home Depot. Same method, but hopefuuly not the same result. Dean is in the pocket of the Chamber.
We are in big trouble, just look what the US Chamber has done to our country. They have sold us out to the biggest bidder.
I think these holdouts are suspect as well. Not sure they are realistic about what their property is worth. I talked to one organization that was displaced, and they said they were well taken care of when they were compensated for their building and their move.
I think the City Paper has provided incorrect information on how many property owners have agreed to the offers. In fact of the 17 or so, I'm not aware of a single one that's accepted their(TDOT's) offer.
In addition, to portray these "alleged" holdouts as greedy individuals is a disservice to your reader and to them. This sounds like a press release directly from the MCC committee aimed at once again spreading mis-information. Here's a question that should be asked. Why do they value property directly across the street from Tennessee Electric Motor(for example) at three times what they've offered T.E.M? This article, sadly, was poorly researched and provides misleading and slanted information.

well just found out milw. upped there warranty to5 yes 5 years. must of seen ridgid and craftsman comming.
No announcement yet.
warranty once again
new posts
warranty once againtooltechTags: None
The present Milwaukee warranty has an unlimited timespan. It is a Lifetime Warranty. That is changing to a 2 Year Warranty according to the documents circulated to their dealers and distributors. This is in-line with most quality manufacturers, who are now sourcing their products outside of the USA. Mexico in the case of Milwaukee.
So the new Warranty is worse for the customer, not better.
Where did you see 5 years??
the warranty is presently a 3 year warranty. i work for a milwk. warranty center among other manu. milw. does not have a lifetime warranty. so how can a 5 year warranty be worse off! we are informed by milw. i faxed dave a. when the 3 year warranty came out a coulpe of months ago now it has changed to five year.tooltech
This is the warranty that came with my Milwaukee 6390 circular saw purchased 03/29/01.
"Every Milwaukee tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving our manufacturing facilities. Shoud any trouble develop, return the complete tool prepaid to our Corporate Office, Branch Office/Service Center or nearest Authorized Milwaukee Service Station. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective workmanship or material, all repaires will be made without charge, and the tool will be returned, transportation prepaid. Battery packs for cordless tools are warranted for one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply where: (1) repairs or attempted repairs have been made by persons other than Milwaukee personnel or Authorized Service Station personnel; (2) repairs are required because of normal wear; (3) the tool has been abused or involved in an accident; (4) misuse is evident, such as caused by overloading the tool beyond its rated capacity; (5) the tool has been used after partial failure or (6) the tool has been used with an improper accessory. No other warranty, written or verbal, is authorized."
Reads like a lifetime warranty to me, except for normal wear problems, cordless batteries and abusing the tool.I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP . since i repaIR TOOLS I HAVE TO TELL YOU 5 YEARS gives me the option to for ex. put a neww clutch in your coordless drill if i think it has not been abused. this is a win win for the customer. 1 year is what it means 2 year and ect.material and workmanship does not go baad that often. a chuck does. after 2years do you think you should get a new chuck on a 1 year warranty? ridges lifetime warranty on material and workmanship on a pipemachine means for ex. the alumanum housing how many times do you think one of them have gone bad not many. i cant warranty the motor if it burns up in three years but i can warranty the speed chuck if it cracks. idont want you to think i am cocky. ihave been working on tools for 11 years. if you have any ?s on any thing i will do my best to help you out. thanks.
dave if you want i can fax you once again the new milw. warranty. i have fixed a lot of tools and i have to say milwk. does make a good tool. tacking nothing away from ridgid they are the kings of threading machines and draincleaners. we will see if the new line of tools will be as good as the other already established mackers. thanks dave ,jon (tooltech)
Thanks for the offer but that won't be necessary. The point I was trying to get across was that the warranty that came with my CS doesn't have a time limit but it does have restrictions. RIDGID's Lifetime Warranty was much the same but too many people think it covered everything no matter how small the problem and it never did.
I agree with you that the chances of a manufacturing problem occuring with a tool after a number of years is unlikely. But, on the other hand it does happen on occasion. For those occasions when it does happen, both RIDGID's and Milwaukee's new warranties are not as good as their old ones.
DaveI decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
I'd certainly like to recieve a copy of the New, New Milwaukee Warranty. I've seen the 2 year version that was due to cut in on October 1, and the Unlimited Time one is still present on their web site.
Please fax me the 5 year at 925 461 9573
[ 09-11-2003, 06:56 AM: Message edited by: Cutbuff ]
Yes received the ammended Milwaukee Warranty, thanks a lot.
Looks like they had second thoughts over the 2 year one before introducing it on October 1, scrapped it, and replaced with the 5 years putting them now at the forefront of Warranty lifetimes. Although certain Jet tools now carry a new Lifetime Warranty that their just introducing...eveyones fighting for position.

It's day eight of 12 Days of Christmas and we have yet to address that little issue of Christmas morning breakfast.
What to do? Santa has come and gone, the resulting wrapping paper, ribbon and tissue has covered everything in sight, and…everyone's hungry!
At our house we usually whip up some cinnamon buns (those decadent ones that come in a can – no judgement!) and get on with the last of the unwrapping but usually by 9am we're itching for something a bit more substantial.
No fear, I can bet you've got eggs in the fridge. And after all your entertaining and prep over the last few weeks you most likely have cheese, meat, onions, mushrooms, maybe even some greens? and other bits in there too.
So what are you waiting for?
Mini Eggy Pies
My girl Violet makes these when we have a girly brunch catch up and they always appear super fancy but she insists they're easy-peasy. But she's really good at downplaying her amazing cooking and baking skills so I was skeptical. So I gave them a go.
Boy was she right.
Use whatever you have left over in the fridge (cooked potatoes, tomato, spinach, onions, fresh herbs, prosciutto, maybe?), drop it into greased muffin tins and pour the eggy mixture over top and pop in the oven. In minutes you have a delicious, satisfying breakfast.
Plus in making such a portable, efficient meal, you've also just made room for all the delicious leftovers to come after your big turkey/ham/turducken Christmas meal (win, win!).
Once you've earmarked this for breakfast, be sure to check out tomorrow's post for day nine of 12 Days of Christmas, an award winner all the way from New Zealand!
Mel xo
- 2 eggs
- a splash of milk (approx 3-6 Tbsp)
- ¼ tsp Dijon mustard
- Any leftovers you have - I used turkey, arugula and green onion
- ¼ cup grated cheese (I used old Cheddar but anything you like will do)
- Fresh herbs and green onions for garnish
- Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl add eggs, milk and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until fluffy, and set aside.
- Chop up leftover veggies, meats, cheeses into bite sized pieces and split between four muffin cups
- Fill cups halfway up with egg mixture
- Cook in 350F oven for 12-14 minutes until puffed up and cooked through (or as cooked through as you like). They can still be a bit jiggly in the middle at this point.
- Remove from the oven and carefully move the oven rack up to the top. Set the oven to broil.
- Add more grated cheese to the top of each muffin cup and broil (watching constantly) until golden brown and bubbling.
- Let pies cool for 5 minutes.
- Slide a knife around the edge of each cup and carefully tip out onto serving plate.
- Makes enough for 2 people (2 pies each).

Acceptance of payment cards in shops allows goods or services to be paid by a payment card via a payment terminal or an imprinter. Payment cards of the largest card companies issued by any bank in the Czech Republic or abroad are accepted.
Means accepting payment cards of the largest card assoctions through payment gateway.
Bonds are normally bought exactly one period before the first coupon payment. This results in two problems. This affects the discount period in the case of each cash flow and this represents a daily problem of "accrual" of interest for the bondholder.
The buyer of a bond therefore pays the agreed price of the bond plus the accrued interest or the aliquot interest return.
Financial markets should operate in such a way as to allocate savings to the most productive companies, i.e. so that they are allocated effectively. Such opportunities are attractive for individual investors, as they lead to maximum profit at minimum risk.
If the managers of a financial institution invest creditors funds into companies with a low yield or a high rate of risk, then investors re-invest their funds, increase the price that they demand for the funds (i.e. increase the interest rates) or limit the investments made by the financial institutions into certain companies on their behalf.
American depositary receipts (ADR) are part of the GDR group. They are traded only on stock exchanges in the US.
ADRs were the first to originate, with the term GDR being used when the receipts began to be traded outside the US.
Their popularity among US investors is based on the fact that trading with ADRs is conducted in the same manner as trading with US shares. Trade settlement is also conducted pursuant to US regulations.
The term annuity (from the Latin annuus – annual) is a constant stream of fixed payments over a contractually specified period of time.
These payments comprise the principal and interest..Their amount remains unchanged in the elected period; only the ratio of the payment (annuity) and interest changes steadily, with the ratio of interest to the paid principal is higher in the beginning. At the end of the period, this ratio falls.
Appraisal of a real-estate made out by a contractual appraiser of the bank, which assesses the market value.
Annual percentage rate – total costs of a consumer loan for consumers expressed as the annual percentage from the total consumer loan amount.
This is a process that ensures that equilibrium is attained between identical securities i.e. securities with the same (risk/return) profile, which are being sold at the same price (the one price law). If two such securities are being sold at two differing prices (e.g. CZK 1100 and CZK 1120), then it can be expected that there will be demand for the cheaper security. The increase in demand will lead to an increase in its price, until the time when equilibrium is attained.
If there are any arbitrage opportunities available, then prices are not in equilibrium. Arbitrage profit ceases to exist when the transaction costs associated with the purchase of the cheaper security and the sale of a more expensive security exceed the difference in the prices of both securities (i.e. CZK 1120 – CZK 1100).
Transaction costs result in the imprecise application of the one price law. The lower the transaction costs are, the more effective the market mechanism will be.
Supplementary services offered for selected payment cards - such as Global Assistance service for motorists, Lifestyle assistance services or Home assistance. For more information see the product sheet of your payment card or insurance conditions.
Automatic renewal of a payment card allows issuing a new card with new validity before the expiration of the card. The renewed payment card usually has the same number and always keeps the same PIN code. In case of a custom design using MojeKarta, the card is issued with the latest approved design.

Back to the Adobe Cafe[CD]
~ Wally Lawder
Product Notes
"Back to the Adobe Cafe" is a thoughtful and 'more better' re-creation of Wally Lawder's 'Adobe Cafe' CD. Wally Lawder says: 'The original 'Adobe Cafe' album was a good album, but the restless artist in me saw a way to improve on it, and that is what 'Back to the Adobe Cafe' is all about--I did some new recording and remixing and I am totally psyched with the results!' This is a perky, fun-spirited album and is in many ways a complement to the earlier, mellow 'My Place.' This is good one to play when you feel like moving around or driving, when you're looking for some acoustically based stimulation! Bio: Wally Lawder is a Kansan-born New Englander who now lives in Silver City, New Mexico. A talented singer-songwriter with a loyal following, he likes to think of himself as a contemporary troubador. 'It's hard for me to categorize my music--I've had so many far ranging influences. My roots are as much in rock/pop as folk, and I've got a big appreciation for jazz and world music.' A musician for many years, he didn't start writing his own material until the mid 1990's, when he found himself energized by the contemporary singer-songwriter boom. 'I really took a liking to performers like John Gorka, Ellis Paul, Patty Larkin, Susan Werner, Bruce Cockburn. I could relate so much to their songwriting and was inspired to write my own.' Some of his earliest musical memories come from his exposure to the music that was played in his home as he was growing up: rockabilly, classical, jazz, early folk ('It was a curious but fascinating mix, and I think it helped shape my eclectic style.') Wally's real musical awakening came later with the Beatles, and that inspired him to buy his first guitar. Other early musical influences included Mississipi John Hurt, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Paul Winter. His songs, sung in a resonant baritone, mostly come from direct life experiences and observations. He's a natural storyteller and has a way of drawing audiences into his stories. He can be very funny yet touch serious topics deftly. While he sings about a wide spectrum of experience, overall his message is upbeat and life affirming. Live, he often plays solo, or with his backing band, the Flying Coyotes.

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: teokbokki (Stir-Fried Rice Pasta) is one of the most prominent street food/snack in Korea. Nowadays, the most common recipe enjoyed by Koreans is made with red pepper paste (Gochujang). As the street food culture weakens stall owners are making the move to commercial buildings. The incessant popularity of tteokbokki also diversified from extremely spicy sauce to soft Italian cream sauce.
However, the traditional tteokbokki that our family enjoys is much different. Back in Joseon Dyansty, the rice offered to the king was presented in the form of plain rice cake. It was said the palace chefs developed Gungjung Tteobokki with the rice cakes to serve the king. Made with soy sauce base, healthy vegetables, and highest quality beef, this dish is a more nutritious and savory dish than the modern variation. Below is the recipe passed on by our grandmother. —Cindy Park
Serves 2-3
- 400 grams plain rice cake
- 150 grams beef
- 3 Shitake (or any mushrooms
- 1/4 of an onion
- 1/3 of a carrot
- 1/2 of a bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 5 grams garlic
- 5 grams green onion
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Prepare: If the rice cake is hardened, merge it in cold water for a bit. Season the rice cake with 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tsp soy sauce. Julienne the prepared onion, carrot, and bell pepper.
- Marinade: In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice wine, chopped green onion, brown sugar, and hint of pepper to make the marinade. Marinate the sliced mushrooms and the julienned beef in there for 10 minutes.
- Cook: Heat oil in medium heat, stir-fry the vegetables quickly and gather them on one side. Carefully add the marinated beef and mushroom and stir them well with the veggies.
- Season: Lower the heat a bit and put in the rice cake. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and hint of pepper. Stir them until the rice cake is cooked just right. You may add cayenne pepper or chili for spice.
