The new Dubai property law has fuelled a resurgence of interest in the property market in Dubai. Foreign buyers once hesitant to commit to a marketplace where an element of doubt remained about their legal right to own freehold real estate, are now buying up property in lightning speed.
International banks and house loan financiers are making it easier to borrow for a property transaction in the UAE and Dubai is high on the property wish list of all and sundry from international celebs to industry icons, from Arabs to Asian expats.
This means that it's high time to draw up a list of the dos and don'ts of buying property in Dubai to prevent mistakes that can prove costly. Dubai is known for its transparent open-market policies, but it's always safe to enter into a property purchase with the support of a competent and safe lawyer.
There are a series of complexities associated with the purchase of a property whether that property is off plan, completed or resale…money should not change hands and contracts should not be signed before the purchaser has sought independent legal advice.
When it comes to the signing of any contract and the acceptance of any terms, conditions and assignments it's imperative that the purchaser reads, understands and accepts not only the obligations that the builder/developer/reseller/agents are committing to, but all the terms and conditions that the person buying property in Dubai has to agree to.
These include getting insurances in place before completion, accepting that title deeds can be assigned to someone else nominated, if permission to purchase is not granted to the not take a little initial buyer etc.
If a buyer does not give time and make effort to ensure they know what they are committing to, then there are chances that they will face problems further down the line.
Not all builders and developers in Dubai have the same reputation and not all build to expected standards. Enough property has been completed in Dubai by the majority of large constructors for those looking for an investment property in Dubai or a second home in the UAE to have examples of completed work to look at.
Try and get as good and broad a perspective of a developer before committing to purchase from one of their off plan projects – while this is not an exact science as standards can change, it is as good a basis for making a decision as any!
The terms and conditions that mortgage lenders enforce vary from lender to lender and country to country. Many think that by entering into a mortgage contract they 'only' run the risk of losing the home on which the mortgage is based if they default – this is not always the case. Often the larger the financial institution the less scrupulous and customer caring they are too!
Don't get your fingers burned – read, understand and seriously think about any financial contract you sign – it could be that if you default and your home is repossessed, you still end up with a bill for charges, lost interest, the difference between the debt and what they sell your home for.
There is no such thing as a sympathetic bank, a kind lender or a generous financial institution – the sooner you come to KNOW that the better off you will be in life! Dubai mortgage lenders are no exception to this rule by the way – look after yourself and your own best interests, do not trust a bank, estate agent or property developer to do so!
Think about what could happen to your dream home in Dubai when you die – sorry – grim topic but an essential one to consider when you bear in mind that the laws of succession differ from country to country and are affected by many issues such as whether you still have finance outstanding on the real estate etc.
Make a will but also consider the option of owning property through a company structure or if appropriate to your circumstances, using an offshore trust for the ownership of any property assets purchased outside your country of domicile.
And finally, there is no such thing as a zero-risk investment. While some believe putting money into property as an asset class is the closest thing you can get to risk free investing, that is most certainly not the case.
Dubai is still an emerging market that has not been tried and tested, that has never had to suffer economic, social or political change on a large and significant scale and where no investor, market analyst or expert can predict future growth patterns. While property prices and rental yields are continuing to rise at the moment, the trend might not last for ever.

Phones 4U is in the process of carrying out a consultation regarding a proposed restructure of its in-store administration roles that could affect around 290 staff.
As part of the proposal, Phones 4U is opening up over 200 new customer-facing roles for those affected staff. The retailer said this was in response to the company's continued focus on customer service and growth of market share.
If the proposal goes ahead, Phones 4U said it would offer full support and assistance for all those affected. It said most staff will be redeployed in new roles and the balance should be closer 30.
In a statement Phones 4U said: "Despite the tough economic climate, Phones 4U will continue to invest in its people and the business. The company continues to perform profitably, and its recent growth in market share has driven the need for an increase in customer facing roles.
"However to maintain the company's position for the future it is now looking to streamline time spent on non-customer activity."

Sunburn Prevention Tips
Summer's arrival means lots of outdoor activities, but it's important to remember that even on cloudy, overcast days, we're at risk for sunburn. Remember that the sun's rays are the strongest - and most dangerous - between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and everyone should be using sunscreen. Here are some things to remember when applying sun protection:
- Use sunscreen no matter what your skin tone is. Make sure the product you use has an SPF of at least 30 and that it works on both UVA and UVB rays. If you do have fair skin, consider using a higher SPF. Apply sunscreen at least 15 to 30 minutes before you go out into the sun to all exposed skin. It is important to apply the lotion generously on our skin, if not, the product's SPF may be reduced.
- An average adult should use approximately two tablespoons of sunscreen to cover their arms, legs, face, and neck. Approximately 20 minutes after going out in the sun, reapply the sunscreen. This will help cover any areas you may have missed in the initial application.
- In order to stay protected, you should reapply the sunscreen after swimming, sweating, or any rubbing off of your skin, otherwise, it is recommended that you should reapply the lotion every two to three hours.
- Don't forget your lips, which are particularly vulnerable to sunburn and sun damage. Although many lip products tout SPF of 15, experts agree that you should use products which contain an SPF of 30 or higher on your lips. Sunscreens do have a shelf life and many contain expiration dates. The older a product is, the less effective it may be, weakening the amount of SPF and leaving you at risk for burning.
- The bottles are typically exposed to high heat - such as at the beach or in a vehicle - which speeds that process up. If the product does not have an expiration date, it is recommended it be discarded if it is older than 3 years.

Today's Transit Strike feels a lot like the Blackout of 2003 - really fun for the first day but shaping up to be a pain in the ass every day after.
For the record, I think I'm on the side of the Transit Workers Union (TWU) - they're looking for better pay and benefits and the MTA just blew an $800 budget surplus by offering a $1 discount off Metrocards for a period of 2 weeks. That's a waste - put it towards hooking up the workers with a holiday bonus (or at least towards fixing the F train).
There's definitely parts of this story I'm missing - like what kind of benefits the transit workers current get (or don't get). Are they currently getting screwed or do they have it pretty good? Were they hustling for better benefits / wages before the surplus was found? (or do they already have it good and are just being greedy about getting a piece of the surplus?). And where's the rest of the $800m if the Metrocard discounts only cost $100m?
In any case, I stayed home today. I've been watching NY1 and listening to the Quad City DJs (choo choo!) repeat aaaalllll day long. [mp3, 9mb]

It was good news for a record number of school pupils as SQA exam results were announced on Tuesday.
In East Renfrewshire, 170 youngsters achieved five or more As in their Highers — while S4 pupils achieved the highest ever results, with 94 per cent gaining five or more National 4 qualifications and 72 per cent gaining five or more at National 5.
Councillor Elaine Green, education and equalities convener, paid tribute to the "hard work of pupils, exceptionally well supported by our staff and parents".
At Eastwood High, S5s Billy O'Neil and Emma McKelvie (both 17) were delighted to receive five As.
Emma told The Extra: "I stayed up and received the email at half one in the morning — but my parents are on holiday so I couldn't tell them right away.
"I worried maths would let me down because the exam was so tough, so I'm very happy.
"Now it's on to advanced French, Spanish and history."
Billy, who hopes to study computing science at university, said: "My parents were so proud – then my dad said 'only five?'
"There was a degree of expectation from other people, but I didn't want to let myself believe I'd get five As until I got today.
"It's back to the beginning now for sixth year — but I have the qualifications to get into uni now, so I hope there will be less pressure and I'll just do my best."
Also celebrating was Eastwood's multi-media technician Michael O'Rorke, who sat Higher English in a step towards becoming a primary teacher.
Michael, who studied at home before taking the test, got a B — allowing him to apply to his teaching course for next year. He explained: "It was funny seeing the looks on the faces of the kids when I took a seat in the exam — I just pretended I was hiding my answers. By the break they were chatting away, asking how I found the exam."
Glasgow City Council also celebrated a year of best ever results, with attainment on the increase across the board.
Councillor Stephen Curran, member for education and young people, said: "Glasgow's exam success is at an all-time high and our schools have been awarded a fantastic report card.
"Pupils and teachers should be very proud of themselves for their hard work and commitment which has paid off."
Didn't get the SQA results you were hoping for?
The advice from both East Renfrewshire and Glasgow City councils is to contact your teachers to discuss alternative options, or use the UCAS independent advice line, 0808 100 8000, or tweet @ERHelp.
A special Secure your Future event — attended by Glasgow colleges, Skills Development Scotland and other organisations offering advice — has also been organised for today (August 6), and will take place at Glasgow city chambers.

Let's face it. Not all writers are in it for the money. But despite popular mythology (or the worst fears of your parents) choosing a life as a writer doesn't need to involve financial sacrifice.
From copywriting and online marketing to freelancing and landing a publisher, there are plenty of ways to build a stable career as a writer. And Writers Victoria's Season 1 2017 program can help you get there.
Writers looking for a steady income and flexible hours can try their hand at copywriting. "It's not a dirty word," says tutor Luke Ryan, but rather "the most empathetic of all forms of writing. It requires you to think only of how your words will be read by others." Better still, copywriting can become a crucial, enjoyable and well-paying part of a sustainable writing career. (And you can join Luke's webinar on copywriting and your career in March to find out more).
Whether it's your core practice or a stimulating side venture, freelance journalism also offers independence and creative control. Get a toolkit for getting started with Greg Foyster's Winter School workshop. You'll get advice about pitching, planning, interviewing, editing your own work and building a successful business model in this cost-effective Crash Course in Freelance Journalism.
If you're considering a career in editing, don't miss Insight into Editing with editor and tutor Penny Johnson. Johnson's practical tips will give you the tools to start editing and proofing at a line level.
"One trick to help you concentrate is to put a blank piece of paper underneath each line as you read," Johnson recommends. We hope you'll emerge from her one-day Summer School workshop with a swag of new skills and knowing what your next steps might be.
If you're looking into traditional publishing models for your work, you'll need to give yourself the best chance of success. "It's never been more challenging than now to be noticed in our highly competitive publishing market," says WV tutor Erina Reddan. Develop the skills to step outside your work and see it from the markets' perspective in Reddan's one-day workshop, Write and Present Your Pitch. Or brush up on your pitching skills with Marie Alafaci's Pitch Tips webinar in May to find out how your pitch can also help keep you motivated and give you the confidence to treat your fledgling work as the foundation of a great book.
There are also paid opportunities in often-neglected pockets of the writing industry. For example, you can find out how to break into the education market (an area of publishing with opportunities for children's writers), in George Ivanoff's workshop in February.
The online space also allows you to take charge of connecting with your readers. Find out about the new array of options for making and marketing ebooks and print books in Your Digital Publishing Options with Dr Euan Mitchell.
Once you start getting yourself published, how do you capitalise on that success? In the business of creativity, the author is the brand. Learn how to professionalise yourself and your writing with Hazel Edwards Authorpreneurship workshop in July.
It's widely expected these days that authors represent themselves online via platforms like social media, blogs and newsletters. Find out what options are available for authors in Patrick Lenton's Summer School workshop Creating an Author Platform.
Of course, there's more to writing than money. There's also rejection, self-doubt, anxiety, jealousy and other internal wrestling matches. Learn how to handle the inevitable pitfalls of being Funemployed with Justin Heazlewood. Look at the emotional side of being an artist, investigate self-care and success while celebrating the unique protagonist of yourself. "Make your creative journey one of kindness, respect and sustainability," says Heazlewood. "That way, you can write your way to top and make a few friends along the way."
We hope that you find a (paid) place for your work this writing year.

Verification & Validation in Scientific Computing
2-Day On-Site Training Course
About the Course:
Engineering systems must increasingly rely on computational simulation for predicted performance, reliability, and safety. Computational analysts, designers, decision makers, and project managers who rely on simulation must have practical techniques and methods for assessing simulation credibility. This short course presents modern terminology and effective procedures for verification of numerical simulations, validation of mathematical models, and uncertainty quantification of nondeterministic simulations. The techniques presented in this course are applicable to a wide range of engineering and science applications, including fluid dynamics, heat transfer, solid mechanics, and structural dynamics. The mathematical models considered are given in terms of partial differential or integral equations, formulated as initial and boundary value problems. The computer codes that implement the mathematical models can use any type of numerical method (e.g., finite volume, finite element) and can be developed by commercial, corporate, government, or research organizations. A framework is provided for incorporating a wide range error and uncertainty sources identified during the modeling, verification, and validation processes with the goal of estimating the total prediction uncertainty of the simulation. While the focus of the course is on modeling and simulation, experimentalists will benefit from a detailed discussion of techniques for designing and conducting high quality validation experiments. Application examples are primarily taken from the fields of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, but the techniques and procedures apply to all application areas in engineering and science. The course closely follows the course instructors' book, Verification and Validation in Scientific Computing, Cambridge University Press (2010).
- Define the objectives of verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification
- Implement procedures for code verification and software quality assurance
- Implement procedures for solution verification, i.e., numerical error estimation
- Plan and design validation experiments
- Understand procedures for model accuracy assessment
- Comprehend the concepts and procedures for non-deterministic simulation
- Identify sources of uncertainty, such as aleatory and epistemic uncertainties
- Recognize the goals of model parameter calibration/updating
- Interpret local and global sensitivity analyses
- Recognize the practical difficulties in implementing VVUQ technologies
Who Should Attend
This course benefits model developers, computational analysts, code developers, software engineers, and experimentalists working with computational analysts. Managers directing simulation work and project engineers relying on computational simulations for decision-making will also find this course beneficial. The course will discuss the responsibilities of organizations and individuals serving in various positions where computational simulation software, mathematical models, and simulation results are produced. An undergraduate or advanced degree in engineering or the physical sciences is highly recommended. Training and experience in computational simulation of physical systems is also recommended.
The course is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS.
Course Materials Provided
Course attendees will be provided with a copy of the book Verification and Validation in Scientific Computing, Cambridge University Press (2010). The 780-page book provides a comprehensive and systematic development of the basic concepts, principles, and procedures for verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification for models and simulations. The book contains several examples of the most common procedures in VVUQ, including an example of the design and execution of a high quality validation experiment. Attendees will also be provided with an electronic (PDF) file and color print copies of over 270 short course slides presented during the course.

Director Report Card: Paul Thomas Anderson (2007)
There Will Be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson wanted to make a movie with Daniel Day Lewis. This isn't surprising since Lewis is one of the most desired and critically beloved – not to mention elusive – performers of his generation. Luckily, Daniel Day Lewis was a fan of "Punch-Drunk Love" and wanted to work with Anderson. Anderson would draw from several different sources to make "There Will Be Blood:" An unfinished script about feuding families, detail research into the oil business at the turn of the century, Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil!," and the lives of oil barons Edwin Doheny and Harry Sinclair. The resulting film would widely be hailed as the best picture of the year. Lewis' performance would be rapturously received. It very well be Paul Thomas Anderson's greatest film.
In 1898, Daniel Plainview goes digging for gold and silver. In 1902, he discovers oil instead and begins a successful drilling business. After a worker is killed, he adopts the man's child as his own son. Nine years later, Paul Sunday comes to Plainview, informing him of great amount of oil underneath his family's farm. Plainview's attempt to buy the land is challenged by Eli, Paul's twin brother and a budding preacher. Daniel buys the Sunday farm but only after agreeing to let Eli build a church on the land. Soon, a rivalry forms between Plainview and Eli, each humiliating each other in their quest for riches, power, and inner peace.
"There Will Be Blood" is a masterwork that touches upon many different subjects. However, it's mostly about Daniel Plainview, an extraordinary character. Plainview's determination is without limits. The spellbinding opening scene, stretching on for over ten minutes, is almost entirely without dialogue. After falling inside the tunnel he dug himself, Plainview drags himself to the surface and into town. This is just one example of how far Plainview will go to succeed. Except Daniel's riches don't make him happy. Instead, it only exacerbates the hate for mankind he already feels. "There Will Be Blood" seems to detail a man's withdrawal into complete misanthropy. Yet it's also deeply enigmatic, raising questions about whether or not Plainview ever had anything but complete disgust for his fellow man.
a voice for the character that was immediately a target for parody. Not because it's goofy but because it was so utterly distinctive. Plainview's voice is a gruff bellow, each word carefully chosen. From there, Lewis builds an impressive physicality around the character. Lewis' emphasizes the total discomfort Daniel feels around other people with small, barely noticeable movements. Yet these more subtle touches are in service of an operatic performance. More than once, Lewis reaches for the rafters, screaming, shouting and acting like a complete madman. Because this is such a carefully created character, these elements never come off as hammy or overdone. Instead, Plainview is made into an intimidating, hypnotic masterclass of acting.
"There Will Be Blood" can, perhaps, best be summed up as being about a fight between the two most abused powers in American history: Religion and business. Plainview, in many ways, represents everything wicked about American capitalism. His initial plan is to cheat the Sunday family out of million, planning on buying their ranch without mentioning the oil underneath it. He is ruthless against his adversaries, mocking them in public. He pays more attention to the burning oil well than his injured child. Eli Sunday, meanwhile, sums up everything deceitful about evangelical Christianity. He uses his theatrical skills as a preacher to manipulate his followers. He is just as greedy as Plainview but he hides his greed behind a virtuous public face. Later, he attempts to humiliate Plainview before a crowded church. Both men are totally self-interested. It's up to the viewer to decide which one is worst.
Plainview's son, H.W., provides much of the ambiguity surrounding the character. Does Daniel Plainview actually love H.W.? When he first adopts the boy, he uses him as a cynical marketing technique. With his son by his side, he projects the image of a family man, someone clients can trust with their money. Plainview admits this in the film's final third, disowning the boy. Yet there are other moments that make you wonder. He's affectionate towards the child at time. After H.W. is rendered deaf by an exploding oil platform, Plainview genuinely attempts to communicate with him. Attacking his son seems to be the only thing that actually infuriates him. At the same time, he ships the boy off so he doesn't have to deal with him. An action he seems to feel genuine guilt for. Did Plainview's growing cynicism cause him to disown his boy? Or did he never feel anything towards H.W.? Once again, Anderson's film leaves it up to the viewer to decide.
a spellbinding monologue earlier about how he sees the rest of humanity as competition, barely concealing the clear disgust he feels. In time, he sees family as a weight around his neck, something holding him back from the pure isolation he craves.
Paul Dano plays Eli Sunday. Standing up against Daniel Day Lewis' performance as Plainview must have been intimidating. Dano never attempts to out-act Lewis. Instead, he plays Eli as a despicable, squabbling little worm. He strikes the viewer as physically weak. Whenever he raises his voice, it only draws attention to how effete and unassuming Dano seems. This makes him the perfect foil to Lewis' Plainview. The two are similar, two men who put on public persona to swindle people out of money, except for one important detail: Daniel Plainview may feel only hate for the human race but at least he's not self-righteous. Dano plays Eli Sunday as a man who buys his own bullshit, who truly believes he's a prophet of God even if his behavior says otherwise.
The supporting cast has fewer familiar faces in it. Recognizable Ciaran Hinds appears as Fletcher, a business associate of Plainview's. Kevin J. O'Connor plays Henry Plainview, Daniel's imposter brother. O'Connor is soft-spoken, despite the obvious shifty qualities he brings to the part, making him seem possibly innocent even after Daniel uncovers his deception. Yet the unfamiliar names in the supporting cast prove more impressive. Dillon Freasier plays H.W. as a boy. Freasier's quiet intensity, that almost seems inhuman, matches the tone of the film perfectly. After loosing his hearing, Freasier plays H.W. as even more distant from his father. Russell Harvard plays H.W. as an adult. Though his part is brief, he makes an impression, showing the hurt and frustration that must follow being Daniel Plainview's son.
abandoned his boy," in front of a busy church. Anderson marries his focused, still images to an extra-wide, theatrical visual palette. "There Will Be Blood" is visually similar to the sweeping, technicolor epics of the forties and fifties. This contrasts nicely against its morally gray themes.
"There Will Be Blood's" title makes a promise. The film is not especially violent, as far as these things go. Yet the violence is always treated with an undeniable ferocity. The audience feels the impact of Plainview's fall in the opening scene. When a loose pipe impales a worker inside an oil well, the blow is sudden and startling. H.W. being blown back by the exploding oil well is similarly harrowing. Yet Anderson's saves the most shocking moment for the fierce conclusion. The final confrontation between Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday, playing out over his personal bowling alley, is one of the most intense conclusion to appear in a recent film. Lewis' performance rages on like an angry god as Plainview destroys his archenemy, removing any reason for him to keep living.
For "There Will Be Blood," Anderson would split from his usual composer, Jon Brion, and pair with Johnny Greenwood, perhaps better known as the guitarist for Radiohead. Greenwood's powerful, strange, ominous music is one of the reasons why "There Will Be Blood" is so good. The score is characterized by throbbing, growling, deep strings, casting a disturbing mood. There's a constant, uneasy energy, powered by plucking notes and frantic strings to the music. This is best emphasized during the oil rig explosion scene, where Greenwood's music clatters forward wildly, discordant noise building atop a thrashing, unending beat. Even the quieter moments are awash in nervous repetition. It's not exactly easy listening but it perfectly matches the film, making it better.
I drink your milkshake!" "Drainage!" "I've abandoned my boy!" and a few other lines of dialogue would become internet memes, referenced and parodied all throughout pop culture. Daniel Plainview took his place among iconic film characters. Of course, Day Lewis won the Oscar and every other award he was nominated for. All of Paul Thomas Anderson's films are varying degrees of great but "There Will Be Blood" feels like an honest-to-God cinematic experience, a powerhouse of a movie that overwhelms and lingers in the brain.

Is your IT like an M&M? Does your security have a hard, crunchy exterior and soft, chewy interior? This M&M approach to security believes in perimeters to keep the bad people out, and at the same time "trust but verify" users (and assets, files, programs and data) inside the perimeter. Industry security experts dealing with headline breaches are signalling that this has to change.
It's a reality of business life that SLAs and "squeaky wheels getting the oil" (think CEO complaining about a broken laptop) are priorities over security. When businesses prioritise availability over integrity and confidentiality the security controls and verification can be weak.
Threat sources are increasing due to the emergence of the use of mobile devices for work and the blurring of home versus work life. Leading industry observers are calling 2015 the year of Cyberwar and in most cases the headline breaches are not caused by network breaches, but instead by user breaches such as stolen credentials where the criminal walks through the front door with a key. Worse still, many breaches are still inside jobs.
According to the NIST and Forrester, in approximately 80% of all breaches IT security is the last one to know and they are often informed of the breach by third parties. The "trust but verify" model has broken down and a new model of "never trust, always verify", or Zero Trust IT, has emerged.
So how do you move to a Zero Trust IT model?
Zero Trust IT is about no longer relying on just a firewall to divide untrusted from trusted and to now assume everything "inside" the firewall is also untrusted. IT security has, historically, been implemented mostly at the network layer with things like firewalls on the perimeter and on devices. In Zero Trust IT there is a shift in focus to add all of IT in the security scope.
An intruder in your IT systems can be likened to an intruder in your house at night. In the dark they need to bump and feel their way around to create a map, and in the way of doing so they knock over vases and leave marks on the walls. These signs of intrusion are the key verification in Zero Trust IT.
To implement Zero Trust IT you need to implement Audit and Compliance controls (like locking doors) and verification (listening for bumps in the night):

I missed my exit to Bordertown.
I recall it clearly — I was standing in the musty confines of the SFF section in Zelda Books in Montgomery, Alabama. Many important moments began this way for me, as many a well-travelled book fell into my hands and helped build me into the woman I am today. I would spend every minute my mother let me, running my fingers along the spines of so very many inviting books, pulling those out that caught my fancy.Wolfwalker by Tara K. Harper. The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge. Beldan's Fire by Midori Snyder.1
Life on the Border, edited by Terri Windling.
Honestly, it was the allusion to borders that caught my eye, along with the mind-expanding moment of being confronted with a collection of stories described right on the cover as "where Elfland meets rock and roll." I needed borders at that time in my life: borders to cross, borders to run to. A way to escape into a place filled with magic, no matter the cost. I lingered over it, but my mother was calling from the register and I'd already met my quota of allowed books for the day with other choices. I reluctantly left Life on the Border on the shelf, determined to come back for it the next week.
I never found it again, as a kid. Tickets to Bordertown aren't easy to come by, nor do they hang around if you make the mistake of not running off with them immediately. The collection was gone when I went looking the next week, and I let it fade from memory. I found my way to similar places — Newford under the wing of Charles de Lint, particularly. I found my way to the nexus of Bordertown authors and their kin by discovering The Endicott Studio almost as soon as I first logged onto the Internet, becoming an ardent fan of the site.
Yet it wasn't until very recently that I found my missing ticket to Bordertown, and claimed the collections I didn't quite manage to find when I was a perfect candidate for emigration. Funnily enough, my mother was the one who found them for me and sent them to my doorstep: a calling card from years gone by. (Thanks, mom!)
Here's what you need to know about Bordertown: [keep reading this review on Cabinet des Fées].

1964 Ford Galaxie 500
(Featured on 23rd June 2013)
Make: Ford
Model: Galaxie
Year: 1964
Sellers original description:
If you're a fan of 60s muscle cars, it seems like everywhere you turn you see Mopar this or Chevrolet that. It's almost as if a large segment of the hobby has simply forgotten about how hot Ford and its full-size Galaxie was during Detroit's golden era. Or, maybe it's just selective memory. And maybe Chevy and Mopar guys are too ashamed to admit cars like this highly correct Galaxie 500, with its authentic, dual-quad 427, tough T10 4-speed and beefy 4.11 gears, would lay waste to most of their respective factory's offerings. At any rate, the proof is on the pavement; and if you buy this fully sorted piece of Americana, you'll be able to school 'the other guys' on the road AND at the show. Are you a diehard Ford fan who's looking for a rock-solid classic that's stylish, powerful and roomy enough to take your other-minded friends on enlightening journeys? Then this super slick hardtop is just the car you need!
To illustrate the authenticity of this Ford's current form, I'll go ahead and break down both its VIN and data tag:
4: 1964 model year
U: Assembled at Ford's Louisville, Kentucky facility
66: Galaxie 500 2-door fastback
R: 427 cubic inch, high performance V8
105333: Production sequence number
63B: Galaxie 500 2-door fastback
X: Maroon Metallic paint
76: Black interior
26J: Manufactured on September 26th, 1963
31: Cincinnati DSO
9: 4.11 gears
5: 4-speed manual transmission
In typical 60s Detroit fashion, Ford's second generation Galaxie, adorned with long surfaces and creases that stretch from stem to stern, is incredibly hard to get straight once it's been overhauled or reworked. Fortunately, the metal on this Maroon Metallic 500 has been subjected to a professional, rotisserie restoration that involved excellent panel alignment and an astute attention to detail. The car's classic flanks are very solid; leading me to believe it was a clean, rust-free canvas when the first sheet of sand paper was laid on its big, muscled body. That body's gaps are better than average, featuring doors that operate with precision, vertical components that are centered in their respective openings, and fresh and pliable weather stripping. And overall, this full-size cruiser carries every indication that its high quality rebuild was a well-planned effort to create a timeless trophy chaser that looks good on the road and the show field!
For 1964, Ford's Galaxie line featured a sculpted profile that was designed to make the car more competitive at the track. And not only did this newfound aerodynamic prowess allow Ford racers more success, it also gave production units a more substantial appearance. At the front of this big maroon marauder, a body-width 'sabre tooth' grille hangs a monochromatic "Galaxie" script between four FoMoCo headlights, a thick chrome bumper and small, square parking lamps. Behind that grille, a carefully whittled hood, which centers a bold "F O R D" script between small fender fins, leads the eye to like-new glass that's framed in well-maintained trim, flanked by an ornate mirror and cleared by standard stainless wipers. At the sides of that hood, stylish chrome door handles parallel silver-detailed trim spears that frame "Galaxie 500" scripts above expressive Thunderbird 427 emblems. And behind those door handles, traditional 'pie plate' tail lights illuminate a wide-set "F O R D" script, a stainless-trimmed and "Galaxie 500" branded valence, and a second chrome bumper.
Speaking of this Galaxie's hood, it's been carefully whittled for a reason. To hide a 427 cubic inch, dual-quad V8 in a way that leaves no evidence as to the high performance fury the car's cocky traffic light opponent is about to receive. Wearing a correct C4AE-6015-A casting number, this rare Ford block is dominated by an oval, finned aluminum air cleaner and big Holley carburetors that are wedded to a heavy duty fuel pump and clean stainless lines. At the bottom of those carburetors, an authentic aluminum intake, topped by a chromed and decaled oil cap, props a traditional points distributor between eight high quality Radio Resistance wires. At the sides of that distributor, bright chrome valve covers hang Thunderbird 427 decals above restored header-style exhaust manifolds. And cooling is provided by new Ford-branded hoses that circulate water through reproduction tower clamps and a correctly tagged and shrouded radiator. Aesthetically, the car's clean engine bay looks good enough to show off to anyone, anywhere. Its subdued black engine block perfectly contrasts high quality accessory components like a bright blue washer bag and tagged battery. And everything blends seamlessly into gloss black fenders and a gloss black firewall.
At the bottom of this vintage hardtop, solid floors and a beefy frame are supported by a road ready suspension that's been freshly restored and fully marked. The muscular 427's power is transmitted rearward through a correct Borg Warner T-10 4-speed that, with the flick of a wrist, transforms this would be boulevard cruiser into a drag strip battle ship. Behind that gearbox, a large diameter driveshaft spins a buff Ford nine inch rear end which, thanks to fresh 4.11 gears, is ready to supply its new owner with years of hard launches. At the front of the car, old school manual steering mixes surprisingly tight turns with modern, responsive feedback. At the center of the car, you'll find a free-flowing, true-dual exhaust system that, thanks to both an H-pipe crossover and a pair of dual-chamber Flowmaster mufflers, gives the big engine a deep and throaty voice. And at the corners of the car, rebuilt brake drums, which supply quick and precise stops, ride behind traditional steel wheels, fresh stainless center caps and meaty 225/70R15 front and 255/70R15 rear Kelly Charger radials.
One of the best virtues of this Ford is the fact that you can pop its doors open, stretch out across its huge, fully restored interior and enjoy endless hours of cruising! At the center of the car, correct black seats, which feature retro silver piping, are the perfect place for you and your family to spend sunny afternoons seeing the sights. In front of those seats, a freshly finished dash hangs a fade and crack-free pad above original, silver-faced gauges, a vintage AM radio and an ornate, blue-detailed steering wheel. Below that dash, new loop pile carpet props "Galaxie" branded floor mats next to a correct chrome shifter. At the sides of that carpet, stainless-trimmed door panels hang bright chrome handles above pliable, curved armrests. At the back of those panels, a nicely finished trunk features a new mat, a full-size spare tire and a correct jack assembly. And everything in this Galaxie, from its bright chrome mirror to its fully functional courtesy lamps, is stylish and exceptionally well-done!
The sale of this big-boned blue oval includes a reproduction owner's manual, a stack of restoration photos and a two-page breakdown of its data plate and essential part numbers.
When it comes to maximizing the amount of car your money will buy, you simply can't go wrong with a big Detroit cruiser. A scant fraction of Ford's 1964 Galaxies were powered by the mighty 427/4-speed combo. And when you add in this car's thorough restoration, you have a head turning classic that's fun, historic AND rare. If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable, and reliable piece that commands a lot of respect on the highway, and feels right at home at the local show, this hot 500 is your ticket!
