Beginnig of last week, your eye would catch more and more those old beautiful cars, that were able to survive time. They heralded the arrival of the biggest Car show in the nation, the Turkey Run
As everything in life, some cars became famous and sought for, and some didn't. Some are coming with the price tag that makes you scratch your head. But what is the most fascinating, is the love towards those old gorgeous cars, that allowed them to survive and fascinate us.
And what is the better place for that than Daytona's Turkey Run, - the event traditionally tied to Thanksgiving. A combination of a world-class swap meet and a 5000+ custom car show, all in one venue, all over Daytona Beach area.
2008 at International Speedway was its 35th year. A car show in Ormond Beach in Fortunato Park was its 51st time. And this where I went with a camera on Satuday, sunny and warm, just picture perfect Florida day.
I am not a fan. I can sleep well, knowing that I would never own that gorgeous Fort T, built in 1914, or and Oldsmobile, built in 1938. But even though I do not buy paintings for thousands and thousands of dollars, I do go to the museums, and events like Art Basel in Miami to enjoy art, and I really enjoyed the car show, an uplifting event of shiny old cars that fill your heart with pride, with people having the keenest interest in them, the agility of the event, that does not have that feeling of the fragile and disappearing past. This past was in my face, bold and beautiful, and welcomed.
I will be there next year. I am not bidding farewell, I am simply saying Bye.
If you love cars, you owe it to yourself to watch this slideshow, that I shot this past Saturday.

10 Ways To Slow Down Right Now
Feeling overloaded on stress and like you're constantly scrambling from one task to the next? Give yourself a much needed break, and take a minute for yourself!
Here are 10 ways to slow down right now!
1. Have a tea party.
Boil the kettle and make a pot or a cup of your favorite tea. Obviously a caffeine free tea is less stimulating, but for many, traditional black tea offers an experience that calls up soothing memories from the past.
Life can never feel rushed when you have a relaxing brew to gently sink into, either alone or with a friend. Set the table with a cloth, use your best china or just keep it simple. Either way, keep all of your senses open as you sip your way to relaxation.
2. Take two or three deep breaths.
Breathe really deeply two or three times every time you think about it. Adjust your posture while you're at it, pulling your shoulders back and tucking your chin in.
The breath will move easier, and your body will be stimulated into good alignment. With every deep breath, your heart rate slows just a little, as your parasympathetic nervous system is triggered. You'll feel a sense of calm wash over you by your third breath.
3. Stand on your head.
By inverting your body, specifically standing on your head, your parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated. Your heart rate drops a bit, and in turn so does your blood pressure, instantly bring you calm. Just a few minutes on your head can change your whole day. Build up your inversion time gradually, and obviously avoid doing this if you have any issues with your neck.
4. Do a simple meditation.
Focus your mind on your breath. Get comfortable, close your eyes, and just think purely about your breath. Count with each inhalation and then with each exhalation if you want to.
Consciously draw your breath in deeply, and then let it go. Do this at least once a day. If you find your mind wandering, simply refocus on your breath.
5. Touch the ground.
Dig your hands into the earth and feel the world slow down right before you. There's nothing more relaxing than feeling deeply connected to Mother Earth.
Digging your hands into the dirt is the best way to do it. Be creative, watch things grow, nurture and tidy up a small area of your garden where you like to sit, or perhaps plant some things you can eat one day. It's all good.
6. Turn off your technology.
Hide your phone, turn off your iPad, shutdown your PC. Just do it. If you're feeling adventurous, take it a step further. Choose one day a week, or part of a day (if that feels too hard), and completely disconnect from all of your devices. Your life will feel so much more connected when you disconnect.
7. Have an orgasm.
The moments during and after orgasm are generally extremely pleasurable ones. You are often filled with feelings of euphoria, and this is followed by a feeling of intense peace.
The hormones oxytocin and prolactin are what triggers this response of happy peacefulness. Regular orgasms, either alone or with a partner, tend to get overlooked as ways to relax. However, there aren't too many things in life which can achieve this amazing level of physical and psychological relaxation.
8. Go for a walk.
Walking is the perfect kind of movement for anyone who really wants to slow down. Running and aerobic exercise simulate the bodies stress response, whereas walking and the gentler sports actually calm and slow the body down.
Even better, walk with a really good friend and talk through all your worries. A problem shared is a problem halved!
9. Sleep.
My mom always says that an hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours afterwards. It's true. Start tonight. Go to bed half an hour earlier than you usually do. Kickstart a habit of getting slightly more sleep every night, and then sit back and notice how much more chilled out you are.
10. Just stop.
Do nothing. Schedule a part of your day to do absolutely nothing. Block out the time in your diary, if you feel like you need to do that to actually make it happen.
Do whatever feels right for you when you do nothing. For me, it generally means connecting completely with those around me. It means forgetting about my 'to-do list' and just being.
Let me know in the comments below, what works best to help you relax?
Want to know if you should you go Keto? Paleo? Whole 30? Deciding what to eat to feel your best shouldn't be complicated. We've removed the guesswork to give you all the best nutrition tips & tools, all in one place. Ready to kickstart your health journey? We're here to guide you.

Personalized treatment based on the level and knowledge of the student. My methodology is based on the technical and musical development of the student, attending at all times to your concerns and tastes.

|One problem - it isn't real...
The problem of people misquoting historical figures is so huge that John Oliver recently launched his own website where I "learned" that famous physicist Albert Einstein weighed in on genital herpes.
|Thanks HBO. I had no idea until now Einstein cared so much about STDs!
First off, a Twitter account with 741,000+ followers was distributing garbage. If an attacker took it over and posted a random link (say to an exploit kit), how many people would click on the link? My guess is the number would be at least as many people as retweeted the fake picture (so minimum 1400).
The second infosec hook has to do with half-truths. At Rendition Infosec, we regularly work with clients who have read some half truth on the Internet but take it as gospel. One of my personal favorites is "we use SSL, so our web applications are safe." Wow. SSL only prevents outsiders from snooping on your web traffic. No other protections are offered by SSL. SSL definitely doesn't protect you from XSS, SQLi, or CSRF, contrary to popular belief in some circles. Another favorite half truth is that if you deploy a WAF, you don't need to remediate issues in your vulnerable web applications. This is a really bad idea for a whole number of reasons, but it's a truth that some clients have clung to with nearly religious zeal.
The moral of the story? I'll defer back to Lincoln for this - he sums it up as well as I ever could.

|organum vomeronasale -->
vomeronasal organ
|medical dictionary
A specialised part of the olfactory system located anteriorly in the nasal cavity within the nasal septum. Chemosensitive cells of the vomeronasal organ project via the vomeronasal nerve to the accessory olfactory bulb. The primary function of this organ appears to be in sensing pheromones which regulate reproductive and other social behaviours. While the structure has been thought absent in higher primate adults, data now suggests it may be present in adult humans.

Today's card is for one of my girlfriends. Her birthday was yesterday and to celebrate we went to the Rick Springfield concert this past weekend. We even dragged our husbands along. Here we are living the 80's dream, heading off to dinner and the concert. I've never been a big Rick Springfield fan but it was a very fun night.
Ok, on to the card. I used one of the new 6x6 pads from My Mind's Eye (Follow Your Heart - Be Amazing) for the sentiment panel, mat and paper flower. I added a doily, a die cut leaf and a canvas butterfly. I die cut the butterfly using canvas and the A Muse Studio butterfly die and then I stamped with the ColorBox Chalk dark brown ink and the musical note background stamp from Unity. I also sponged a little Walnut Stain Distress Ink on the butterfly and then added a pearl pin to the center.
Thanks so much for stopping. I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday. Happy Stamping!

All eyes are on Denver and whether the Democratic party will unify around Barack Obama, healing rifts that remain from the protracted primary fight. But the focus should be on unity of values and purpose, not just candidacy. By now, we all know American voters want change. But what do they mean? It's not just a change of leaders, continuing the same time-honored Washington tradition of sticking one's finger in the air to see which way the wind blows and calling that leadership (while continuing to the same, old politics behind the scenes). Voters want to change the wind. The parties should listen and unify behind the public (read: catch up).
For years, conservative and corporate political interests have convinced us that America is a dog-eat-dog nation and that poor jobs, foreclosed homes and no health insurance for some and mansions and yachts for others is perfectly fair and just. Liberal politicians, too, have talked about leveling the playing field and helping Americans compete -- presumably against one another -- as though life is some kind of game you either win or lose. But as working class Americans consistently find themselves on the losing end of a corporate paradigm stacked against them, and as a nation we find ourselves consistently slipping in the global economic medal count, we realize this winner-take-all game metaphor stinks. It's not exactly Monopoly when you're playing with people's real families and homes and health care. Voters want an economy and an America that works for everyone, not just a handful of winners.
I've heard this sentiment from voters and community leaders across the country, from Iowa to Maine and from New Jersey to Colorado. Take Janice "Jay" Johnson, chair of the Virginia Organizing Project, a statewide grassroots organization knocking doors of more than 300,000 voters in that battleground state. "Virginians understand how we're connected to each other, and how healthcare is connected to good jobs and good jobs are connected to public education," Johnson says. "That desire crosses the red and blue parts of the state. Our Community Values Voters are part of a larger trend that will change Virginia and the country this election."
In two important ways, the "Community Values Voters" Johnson is talking about exhibit a unity that the parties haven't come around to yet.
First, they oppose scapegoating. In the past voters have been swayed by the "ignore-your-problems-and-focus-on-this-shiny-thing-over-here" device, be it gay couples or undocumented immigrants -- the parties trying to obscure their lack of real solutions for middle class problems by erecting strawmen of supposed moral crisis that they can score points by slaying. Fortunately, an exciting moment for our democracy is looming as voters no longer seem to be moved by such scapegoating tactics. Polls suggest voters are trained like laser beams on the actual problems facing our country this election. Finally, candidates and the parties may have to address them.
The Community Values Voters Johnson is talking about are also united in their opposition to corporate orthodoxy. Even small children who can barely add are flummoxed by the fact that gas prices are rising at the same time as Exxon and other oil companies are reporting record profits. Anywhere outside Wall Street, that would be called thievery. Polls on everything from health insurance to housing reveal voters no longer place blind trust in the intentions of corporate America. And everything would suggest growing suspicion on the part of voters for political parties that are so beholden to corporate America that they are unwilling to change the laws by which they are governed and held accountable.
There's a movement afoot in America. Voters of all stripes realize that America can be a better place for all of us -- that our politics and policies can help all of us do better, not just a privileged few; that in America, we are one big community and we can only move forward together, not by leaving some behind. Ironically, Americans have come to this place absent the leadership of bankrupt political parties that have been trying to court votes by not rocking the boat. Americans have come to this unity, on their own, because their collective ship is sinking -- and they blame the parties for drilling the holes. It's no wonder that President Bush's approval rating and the approval rating of the Democratic Congress are anemic at best. Voter displeasure with the current priorities of Washington is evident. What is not evident is whether the parties will wake up to the Community Values unity that is sweeping the nation -- and prioritize the kind of unity that has nothing to do with the Clintons and everything to do with the future of our nation.

Between the bars, Elliott Smith Cover by Brown Bear (Dido und Boy Alex)
Between the bars
A song by Elliott Smith, who had brought the young hipster movement under his spell early on, and who was much loved and adored.
I finally found the mp3 my daughter sent to my mailbox in early 2006. Her voice is translucent, a bit like that of Leslie Feist, yet understandably not as commanding, determined nor trained. Possible though, that Dido knows what she is doing with her voice, it feels well-tempered, no? Alex Haager, her musical sidekick knows his stuff and reliably masters arrangements. I hold him in high regards for his dry humor and brilliant song writing.
Oh, and Dido can be adventurous, she laughs out loud. Working as a custom designer at the state theater in Linz, Austria, she currently might be convinced to play along at being a good girl and supporting her theatre with great diligence and and two charmingly trained hands at her craft.

Waking up dead
The incident, reminded me of how I felt when waking up in the hospital, in the middle of the night after my accident in September of 2006. It was in the wee hours of the morning that my eyes popped open. There was faint light in the ward I was on from the door being open to the hallway. I was scared out of my wits by the thought that I could die in this bed, and if I were dying, I would not be able to summon anyone to help me. I wouldn't be able to even call someone to contact my wife or my daughter.
You see, my beautiful singing voice, that had been my glory for 50 years, had been reduced to a whisper. The voice that I had been able to project hundreds of feet away, even when I was speaking or singing softly, was now gone. That incident affect did me so profoundly, that ever since it happened, I have had a fear of going to sleep. Afraid that if I went to sleep, I would never wake up again. I would never get a chance to tell those that I love so dearly in this world, that I love them, and would miss them forever.

HI WayneReplyDelete
I'm sorry you still have that fear of dying in your sleep. At least you can be sure of one thing, and that is that you tell all of us every day that you love us. No one will feel that you didn't care or wonder if you had anything left to say. You are very articulate and we love you back. Good post.
Hi Wayne,ReplyDelete
I am saddened to read of your night terrors. Yet, for what it's worth, my friend, you have articulated and verbalised your feelings.
Heather's wise words ring true. Those that love you would know, no matter what, that you loved them. You have proven this in your remarkable life.
Your beautiful singing voice is not a whisper. It sings with heart and conviction, through the words you have written.

Hi Wayne;ReplyDelete
Just wanted to let you know that I have passed on the Stylish Blogger Award to you on my site. I enjoy your writing so far and want to encourage you to continue. See you there.

When our family gets together for summertime meals, I serve these! I can bake the rolls in the morning when it's still cool, and later on, we make sandwiches out of these soft, fresh, flavorful rolls. You know how a sandwich is only as good as the bread it's made on? I'm telling you, I can't even begin to explain how what delicious sandwiches these make!
When I used to run my Bed & Breakfast Inn, I often catered luncheons. I ordered cheese rolls from the local bakery and made sandwiches on them. My favorite was the deli sliced roast turkey with ruffled green leaf lettuce, tomatoes and dijon mayo. This sandwich became one of my most requested luncheon plates.
Years later, I moved away from that area and couldn't order those wonderful cheese rolls. I decided to try making my own from my Perfect White Bread recipe. (My tweak was to add the green onion tops.) I made my dough as usual, but in the last moments of mixing the dough in my Bosch Mixer, I tossed in some green onion tops.
Then, after the dough had risen once, I punched it down and formed the dough into rolls. Then before letting them rise, I would roll the outside of the roll in grated cheddar cheese.
Ohhhh…they are so good. And if you think these make a great sandwich, you should try cutting a roll in half and toasting it for breakfast!
Here's my recipe: (This will easily make 24 large sandwich size rolls or you can cut the recipe in half if you need fewer.)
2 pkgs. yeast
2 c. warm water
4 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 c. milk, scalded and cooled
4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons shortening
12 c. flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, egg, milk, salt, shortening and half of the flour. Mix well. Add enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Knead 10 minutes by hand (if using bread mixer, add only enough flour to clean the sides of the mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for 6 minutes).
During the last moment of mixing, toss in about 1/2 – 1 c. sliced green onion tops.
Allow to rise. I like to divide the dough into 3 sections, and then each section into 8 equal size pieces (24 rolls.)
Punch down and form into rolls. Roll each in grated cheddar cheese.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise until double. Bake 12-14 minutes at 425°.
These rolls make the most incredible sandwiches!

Sources of Propylene Glycol and Glycol Ethers in Air at Home
AbstractPropylene glycol and glycol ether (PGE) in indoor air have recently been associated with asthma and allergies as well as sensitization in children. In this follow-up report, sources of the PGEs in indoor air were investigated in 390 homes of pre-school age children in Sweden. Professional building inspectors examined each home for water damages, mold odour, building's structural characteristics, indoor temperature, absolute humidity and air exchange rate. They also collected air and dust samples. The samples were analyzed for four groups of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs (SVOCs), including summed concentrations of 16 PGEs, 8 terpene hydrocarbons, 2 Texanols, and the phthalates n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). Home cleaning with water and mop ≥ once/month, repainting ≥ one room prior to or following the child's birth, and "newest" surface material in the child's bedroom explained largest portion of total variability in PGE concentrations. High excess indoor humidity (g/m3) additionally contributed to a sustained PGE levels in indoor air far beyond several months following the paint application. No behavioral or building structural factors, except for water-based cleaning, predicted an elevated terpene level in air. No significant predictor of Texanols emerged from our analysis. Overall disparate sources and low correlations among the PGEs, terpenes, Texanols, and the phthalates further confirm the lack of confounding in the analysis reporting the associations of the PGE and the diagnoses of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema, respectively.

Saw this band name on one of the guys from Miami Ink, and thought what a good name for a band.
After many days by a pool and a Duche de leche habbit, not exceeding 1 bottle per day, we moved on to Mendoza, the only thing i know about Mendoza is from watching some movie years ago and a guy screaming ´Mendoza!!´, i think out a window. He was very mad too, funny how you can always tell :)
But back to Dulche de leche, on the rocks, with milk, thanks. It´s a bit like Baileys, and for 10 pesos, about $3, for a whole bottle, not bad.
But what about the calories ? Wont someone think of the calories, or all the brain cells, hmmm, yeah, one day, one day.
Saw the log from the boys from Cali, and now i´m thinking about going to Machu Picchu, they are as sick as dogs as their porters didn´t wash their hands before preparing their food.
Well maye someone didn´t tell the porters to wash their hands, i´m thinking Mark and Jeff spent too much time at home and just assumed everyone washes their hands before prepareing rice and chicken, just like mammy.
No, it´s just another one of ´Life´s little lessons´, you woud have learnt that one years ago in my famiy, if i ever get sick, it´s because i´m going to die, i am immune from food poisoning, at least i think, so far so good.
Horacio from CSI Miami mentioned he was named after Horacio Alger who wrote Jacks Ward, it appears he wrote rags to ritches stories, inspiring stuff to name your kid on arriving to the promised land

lol at the look on Ryan's face during Three Headed Broadway Star when Ryan says "Wander," but Colin thinks Ryan said "Wonder" so Colin says "Why." After the line "Crushing people is it's reward" Ryan has a look on his face like "How pleasant..." Ryan's cracking up at the end of the song.ReplyDelete
Love love LOVE Props. One of my favourite games xD I play it all the time!ReplyDelete
Best Three-Headed Broadway Star ever. And I liked the sax in Greatest Hits as well, though it's not useful in many genres. Laura Hall and Linda Taylor are always awesome at matching the keyboard mashing to the air guitar-smashing/throwing :DReplyDelete

"Clear Day" — The Road Show
Cut Scenes from "On A Clear Day"
Barbra Streisand combined the kooky and classic sides of her personality perfectly when she played both Daisy and Melinda in On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, a Paramount Pictures film. Designed to be a sumptuous musical in the tradition of Gigi or The Sound of Music, On A Clear Day was prepared by Paramount as a "road show" release to movie theaters.
A "road show" film was a special presentational format that stressed movie theater showmanship —virtually unheard of in today's multiplex, automated theaters. The film was shown with an overture, an intermission, an Entre Acte and, finally, "walk out" music. Barbra's first film, Funny Girl, followed that format in its original 1968 release and, again, in its 2001 re-release. Movie theaters also sold handsome keepsake movie programs featuring photos and articles about the film.
On A Clear Day, before it was released in the summer of 1970, was closely adhering to the "road show" format. However, the world of movies was changing. In April, Jack Nicholson (cast as Tad Pringle, Daisy's stepbrother in Clear Day) was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the counterculture film, Easy Rider. Barbra's ex-husband, Elliott Gould was also nominated for his role in the couple-swapping movie Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. 1970 was the year Patton, MASH, and Five Easy Pieces were released. American films were tackling modern topics. Paramount, lacking faith in Clear Day, decided to abandon the "road show" format and delivered it to movie theaters running 129 minutes long without an intermission.
The preview screening at the Directors' Guild had an unscripted intermission when [ ... ] it turned out that the print screened for review was not the final 129 min. version but a longer 143 min. answer print with four additional scenes, including a song by Nicholson and the pictures most elaborate musical production number, all of which were subsequently cut.
— Variety, 1970 review
That meant, of course, that something had to be edited out of the film. Clear Day lost several musical numbers, subplots, and scenes. For this reason, On A Clear Day has attained a status among Streisand fans somewhat like the "lost" version of Judy Garland's A Star is Born. Unlike A Star is Born, however, Clear Day has not been restored. The cut scenes, in fact, have never seen the light of day. Unless the Minnelli estate had them preserved —or Streisand herself saved the excised scenes—it is doubtful the footage exists.
Based on what is labeled as screenwriter Alan Jay Lerner's "2nd Revised First Draft" (dated October, 1968), it is possible to reconstruct what is missing from On A Clear Day You Can See Forever. Still photographs of the scenes, as well as lobby cards and even audio recordings have helped fill in the blanks, too.
Cut Scenes: The Opening Number
The opening number of Clear Day—"Hurry, It's Lovely Up Here"—was written as a longer song, with additional lyrics not seen in the final film.
Alan Jay Lerner's screenplay kept Daisy's first screen appearance a mystery. In the opening song she did not appear on screen—only her hands. The final film does the same, however Streisand is revealed singing and marching through the rose garden halfway through the song.
- Hey, buttercup!
- Buds are better up;
- Where in case of nup-
- Tials you're handy.
- Hurry! It's lovely up here!
- Hey, rhododend!
- Courage little friend.
- Ev'rything'll end
- Rhododandy.
- Hurry! It's lovely up here!
- Climb up, geranium
- It can't be fun subterraneum .....
[* Lyrics to "Hurry, It's Lovely Up Here" that were cut from On A Clear Day]
"Tad Pringle" — Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson as Tad Pringle added some box office "youth" to On A Clear Day
Producer Robert Evans wrote in The Kid Stays In The Picture, "... I couldn't help but turn down everybody I had seen film on who was a contender for the part of Tad, Barbra Streisand's stepbrother in the flick ..." Nicholson—a casting suggestion that peaked Evans interest—was out of the country attending the Cannes Film Festival. Once he was tracked down and a meeting arranged, Evans offered Nicholson ten thousand dollars for the role, and Nicholson, according to Evans, negotiated until $12,500 was agreed upon.
The role, as written, had Tad renting a room in the building where Daisy lived (which explained why he was always around!). The screenplay established him early (right after "Hurry, It's Lovely Up Here") and made it clear that his interest in Daisy was more than step-brotherly.
Tad's next big scene was snipped out of the final cut, even though the beginning and end of the scene were included. Following the scene in which Chabot and Daisy eat dinner, the cut scene took place on the rooftop. Daisy's fiancé Warren worries because he forgot to tell her the dinner with Chemical Foods was called off. Tad confronts Warren about Daisy. "We're really going to be happy," Warren says. "I don't think so," Tad relied, "You don't know who she is."

Investing in real estate is much more difficult than it appears from the outside. In addition to increased competition, there are also many obstacles for new investors to overcome. Fear, lack of experience and minimal real estate education are just a few of the issues that make breaking into the business a daunting task for even the most motivated individuals. Compounding these issues is the fact that while you can find help, you are going through these obstacles mostly by yourself. That said, becoming an investor is difficult but certainly not impossible. If you really want to get started, you need to address the issues that will stand in your way. Increase your real estate knowledge to avoid making the mistakes made by others.
The number one thing that will stand in your way is fear. Fear in dealing with more educated buyers and sellers. Fear that you will lose money and the respect of your family and peers. Fear that you do not know what you are doing and will quickly be exposed. Most people are afraid of change and will fight desperately to keep things familiar. If you are changing careers and you want to be successful, you need to leave your fears at the door. Like most other businesses, real estate investing takes months and often years to learn and eventually master. There will be days that you are less successful than others and moments that can jeopardize your business, but these are valuable learning experiences. If you are afraid of what you know, what you are doing and who you are talking to you will never make it in this business. It is not easy, but you need to conquer these fears if you are going to move forward.
Fear of experience and education can be lumped into one major hurdle. The world of investing, and finance in general, is filled with jargon and lingo that is not known by everyone. There are numerous terms related to every step in the process from making an offer to rehabbing to eventually closing. While you should have some knowledge on these, you don't need to know every term. Instead of pretending like you know what you are talking about, don't be afraid to ask questions or find out the answers. If you wait until you know everything, you may be waiting a very long time
As far as experience, you have to start somewhere. It may not be a bad idea in the beginning to work with a mentor or to lean on a more seasoned investor when you are just starting out. Much has been made about the real estate collapse and many stories of investors losing everything. The reality is that if you stuck to good investments, in good areas and didn't pull equity out, you probably survived the storm and are still in the business. For every one deal that can be a problem, there are nine others that you will make money on. Even experienced investors get involved in deals they will regret. If you really want to be in real estate, you need to jump in with both feet and test the water. If you wait for the perfect deal, you will be waiting a long time.
There will always be obstacles for new investors. These obstacles are often in our own heads and can be managed with the right frame of mind and outlook. Never let these stand in the way of pursuing a new deal or getting started in the business.

A few weeks ago, I was running some errands in Manhattan. The list of things to do included buying a new winter paper boy cap, meeting my tailor for a fitting, and getting a buzz and straight razor shave at Freemans Sporting Club. In between, I stopped for a dozen oysters and a carafe of Muscadet at Balthazar because I was hungry, know what I mean? But let's rewind to the new hat part of my journey.
I went to Arnold Hatters on 8th Avenue and 37th Street because that is my first and usually only choice when purchasing a new lid. For vintage hats, I go to an undisclosed location in Carrol Gardens. Now as everyone knows, Arnold HattersKnox Hats store. The owner told me the store had been in the family since then, so as I was buying my new brown/orange/beige hounds tooth wool lid by Stefano (made in Italy), I decided to show him my vintage fedora (bought at my secret find in Brooklyn). used to be located across from Port Authority in the old
The fedora is a Knox Hats original, brown felt, with black band from the late 1950s/early 60s. It is practically dead stock with perfect lining, and strong brim. The owner of Arnold's took one look at it and called over his son.
"They don't make them like this anymore. Look at the craftsmanship."
He then asked if I minded if he brushed it for me and offered a complimentary hat steaming. I told him to go right ahead and he meticulously brushed the hat and steamed the sides to open it up.
"What a beautiful hat, you know how much a hat like this would cost today..$200 easy!"
His attention and caring was a sight to behold and almost brought a tear to my eye.
Once I got the fedora back and swore an oath to keep it pristine, he told me:
"Come back anytime ... with the hat."

Well, that was quite a rare weekend of weather … and boy did we make the most of it. Two Pro Clinics hosted during the same weekend (Get Windsurfing's Phil Richards and Danielle Lucas were here with us too) plus a full Start Windsurfing course; over 20knots of wind on both days and baking heat that meant a few windsurfers even went bare-back! Ross set the pace and decided he would try to exhaust everyone on Saturday as it looked likely to be the only day of wind. So when Sunday kicked into action with the sea-breeze as well there were a few aching bodies that were protesting … yet everyone found it hard to resist. Feedback has been overwhelming; here are just a few comments on FB:
Si Pettifer: "Thanks Tris and Ross for an amazing weekend, top show really helpful and great fun, look forward to the next one."
James Dinsmore: "I'll second Simon's comments. I haven't learned so much in such a short space of time for a long time. Top job guys!"
Will definitely be re-enacting soon … watch this space. Thanks once again to Andy Stallman for the photos – video to follow shortly.

The 63rd edition of the Acura SORC being raced off Miami Beach once again features racing on ocean courses with all shore side activities headquartered at the Miami Beach Marina.
Last year's Acura SORC and Farr 40 World Champion Massimo MEZZAROMA and Nerone return to defend their class championship against the likes of 2004 Key West Race Week champion Peter de Ridder and Mean Machine, Key West runner-up James Richardson's Barking Mad and 2003 Acura SORC Farr 40 2nd place finisher Hasso Plattner and Morning Glory.
Also in the Farr 40 mix for 2004 are perpetual strongholds John KILROY Jr.'s Samba Pa Ti and Steve and Fred HOWE'S Warpath. Lang WALKER'S Kokomo is set to feature Tactician Chris LARSON as well as Theresa diRocco. Peter STONEBERG'S Shadow Rock has slated Tactician Ed BAIRD, Liz BAYLIS, Bill Hardesty and John ZISKUND to be among its crew. ISAF President of Honour, His Majesty King Harald V of Norway will race N.N., adding further excitement to an inspiring Farr 40 class.
Tom COATES and Masquerade return to South Beach to defend the Acura SORC J/105 title and revenge the tie-breaker loss suffered in Key West to Richard Bergman's Zuni Bear. Bergman captured the crown after winning the tie-break with more race wins.
Not to be taken lightly in the IMS class is returning champion George DAVID'S Idler and 2003 2nd place finisher Marco BIRCH and Talisman, Birch also comes directly from a class win in Key West. Dan MYERS and Numbers are certain to raise the bar with Tacticians Ken READ and Brad BUTTERWORTH set to compete.
Competition in the PHRF class heats up with Key West winner David HUDGEL and Bounder, and 2003 Acura SORC PHRF 2 winner Terrance SMITH and Raincloud.
The SORC was founded in the late 1930's by a conference of Florida yacht clubs and a Bahamian club. As originally conceived, the SORC was a mix of long-distance overnight races plus local day racing. The series spread out over a six-week season that started in St Petersburg and took in Miami and Fort Lauderdale before finishing in Nassau.
Today, the series features multiple day races with an awards presentation each evening.
The Acura SORC is currently run by five of the founding clubs including the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, Coral Reef Yacht Club, Lauderdale Yacht Club, Miami Yacht Club and Nassau Yacht Club.

I am happy to announce that the fourth edition of Strategic CSR will be published over the summer. The title for this edition is Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility: Sustainable Value Creation:
The new sub-title reflects the book's consolidation around the idea that is central to CSR – long-term value creation for the firm's broad range of stakeholders. Talking about CSR in this way (i.e., value creation) moves it from the periphery of the firm's activities, to strategic planning and core operations (and therefore the basis for everything the CEO and senior executives do, every day).
Apart from the usual updates, new Tables and Figures, and other new ideas, the major change in the 4e is to the book's structure. In particular, there are now five Parts, each consisting of three chapters and one case-study (see the abbreviated ToC pasted below). While the core of many of these chapters was drawn from material in the 3e, there are new sections in each chapter; there are also completely new chapters. As such, to ease the transition from the 3e to the 4e, I have prepared a Transition Guide as part of the instructor resources that summarizes each of the chapters and explains where they came from.
This change in structure was made primarily in response to demand from instructors to adapt the book for easier assignment over the long Fall/Spring semester. Thus, a larger number of shorter chapters was preferred to a smaller number of longer chapters. Overall, the 4e is considerably shorter than the 3e.
Thank you to those of you who were kind enough to review the 4e plan last year. Many of those suggestions are also included – I hope you all like the result.
Although the 4e will not be available until the summer (probably late June/early July), Sage is now accepting requests for review copies at the book's new website:
Of course if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you, as always, for your support.
Take care

Second half propels Aces
East held a seven-point lead over Derby heading into the second half of its Class 6A sub-state semifinal Wednesday night. It was too close for comfort.
Considering what happened last season against Manhattan — a first-round loss — it was way too close for East coach Ron Allen and his team. So the Aces cut loose in the third quarter, outscoring Derby by 17 points en route to a 77-52 home victory.
"That was the whole half-time speech for Coach Allen," East forward Nathan Jackson said. "That's what he wanted to remind us of — how it felt last year to go home early. So we came out in the second half and just took care of business."
Derby (8-13) got strong first-half efforts from seniors Cameron Cornelius (17 points) and Jabril Richardson, who combined for 15 first-half points to keep the Panthers within striking distance. Considering Derby was 5 of 11 from the free-throw line in the first half, East's 34-27 halftime lead could have been smaller.
However, all hopes of a Panthers comeback were squashed when East (16-5) went on a 23-5 run in the final 5 1/2 minutes of the third quarter. It was fueled by six forced turnovers and six fast-break points. Guards Jalen Love (20 points) and Ja'ln Williams (16 points) orchestrated East's third-quarter show.
"This team performs better defensively when we pressure people," Allen said. "That's when we're our strongest. We get after you. We force you to take a quick shot. We come right back at you, and we get into transition. I like to play like that because we have athletes that can benefit from that."
Jackson (15 points) and RJ Melbert (12 points) also contributed with second-chance baskets.
"That helped us out a lot," Williams said. "It showed that we have a lot of heart. Especially RJ, he stays on the boards. He might be the quiet one and might not get the recognition, but look at the stats. He dominated the boards and helped us out a lot."
East will play at Washburn Rural in a sub-state final Friday night, while Derby coach Ryan Herrs was disappointed to send his seniors Cornelius and Richardson out on a low note.
"It's really hard to see seniors go when you have a season that's disappointing," Herrs said. "I feel responsible. I want to do better for those guys. That's the hard thing for me right now. They've been with us for four years and this was all we could do this season."
Derby (8-13) 13 14 10 15 — 52 East ((16-5) 17 17 27 16 — 77
DERBY: Steadman 5 3-5 15, Dunham 0 2-2 2, Schieber 1 3-4 5, Smith 0 2-4 2, Richardson 3 0-0 7, Chambers 0 1-2 1, Roy 0 1-4 1, Cornelius 6 4-5 17, Horton 1 0-0 2. Totals 16 (4) 16-28 52.
EAST: Williams 5 6-6 16, Love 8 2-3 20, Jackson 6 3-4 15, Melbert 4 4-4 12, Dennis 2 2-2 6, Graham 1 0-0 2, Terrell 1 0-3 2, Johnson 1 0-0 2, Normore 1 0-2 2. Totals 29 (2) 17-25 77.

One question I get asked quite regularly is how I calculate my odds for football. There are many different methods I use, and I never rely on just one model, but I thought I'd share here a very simple method of compiling odds for football.
The difficulty with many of the advanced statistical models is that they use more advanced statistics such as x,y shot locations and other data that is not publicly available, or they use programs that may not be easily accessible to the average fan due to lack of coding knowledge – programmes such as R or Python come to mind. The model that I will walk you through here uses data that is publicly available and needs only a basic knowledge of Excel to build.
*Note: This is intended for people relatively new to this area so may come across as very simplistic to people more experienced with statistics and with Excel.
Step 1: Get & Transform Data
Go to Joseph Buchdahl's football-data.co.uk (and be sure to follow him on twitter @12Xpert). For this article I'll focus on the Premier League, so download data for the EPL for the past 5 seasons (including this season).
We'll be making two separate results sheets using this data. One using only this season's results, and one using all results from the past 5 seasons.
When you open the downloaded files they should look like this:
Open a new excel file and copy and paste this data:
You'll notice the two worksheets – Results – only this season's data & HistResults – data from 5 seasons.
** NB – When copying data to the HistResults sheet make sure your columns are consistent. As bookmakers become defunct or their odds are not available, they are not included in the results. For example, in the data for 2012-2013, there are 3 columns for Gamebookers, however, in later seasons this data is not included. While this is not essential for our purposes, if you would like to use this data for other purposes – odds comparison, Asian handicap analysis etc.. it's essential to keep your data consistent. When adding new seasons to the HistResults worksheet, copy the top row of the HistResults sheet and paste it above your new data so you have something that looks like this:
This way you can add/delete columns, or move new data to line up with previous data. As an example, let's look at the odds for Interwetten:
As you can see, the new data we have just added does not line up with the previous results. Here we need to move our new data from Interwetten onwards 3 columns to the right. Click on the cell IWH (below GBH), press CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN, then CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT. Cut the data by pressing CTRL+X, and paste it by clicking on the cell LBH and pressing CTRL+V. Our data should now look like this:
Check that the rest of the data lines up then delete the two rows with our headers so there is no text between the numbers.
Step 2: Gathering Stats
On a new worksheet, we are going to collect data from our Results. We need a row that contains each team for this season
**NB: The team names must match the names used in the results page. For example, using the team name "Spurs" will result in an error as they are recorded as "Tottenham".
A fast way to do this is to copy all team names in column C of our results sheet and paste them from cell A2 on our new sheet. In your toolbar select DATA>REMOVE DUPLICATES and follow the prompts. This leaves us with this:
Next we need our column headers:
Now we have the skeleton of our first table set up, here are the formulas for each column.
In cell B2 add the following:
=(AVERAGEIF(Results!$C:$C,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!L:L)+AVERAGEIF(Results!$D:$D,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!M:M))/2
In C2:
=(AVERAGEIF(Results!$C:$C,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!N:N)+AVERAGEIF(Results!$D:$D,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!O:O))/2
In D2:
=(SUMIF(Results!$C:$C,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!$E:$E)+SUMIF(Results!$D:$D,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!$F:$F))/(SUMIF(Results!$C:$C,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!$N:$N)+SUMIF(Results!$D:$D,'Shots and Goal Data'!$A2,Results!$O:$O))
In E2:
Simply multiply C2 by D2.
Select cells B2 to E2 and copy down for all teams so we have something that looks like this:
Now we have completed the For columns, have a go at doing the Against columns by changing parts of the above formulas. Your results after a little cleaning up should like this:
That's probably a good place to stop for now. I would recommend you try doing the above for the historical results also. Follow the steps outlined above, but get averages for the last 5 seasons rather than just the current one.
In Part II, we'll take the data from the table we have just made to produce our first set of odds.
Let me know how you get on and if there are any questions feel free to ask either below or @petermckeever

In the South we're known for being fiercely defensive about our favorite culinary dishes. Whether it's the case of their origins or who makes it best, we'll get in a fight over something as fickle as a pickle—especially if it's fried. So it's no surprise that one of the gems of Southern cuisine, Brunswick stew, is at the center of such debate. Or really, debates.
The recipes for Brunswick stew vary greatly across state lines, but all of them have a few ingredients and methods in common. Usually, the stew is tomato-based with a variety of the South's favored vegetables (like corn, lima or butter beans, and okra) as well as some type of meat thickening the chunky medley. The stew is always allowed to simmer for several hours, imbuing it with its signature smoky flavor. But that's about where the similarities end. Three states claim ownership of the best, and original, Brunswick stew recipes: North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.
The type of meat that finds its way into the pot is a point of major contention between Southerners. Traditional recipes call for more gamey meats, such as squirrel, possum, and rabbit: some cooks, in fact, still claim it isn't a real Brunswick stew unless you get to chew on a piece of squirrel. Over the years, however, Southerners have had to adapt to changing palettes—and, in some cases, changing laws. In Virginia, for example, chicken has replaced the traditional squirrel called for in their Brunswick stews. In Georgia, chefs once used the hog's head and other less desirable parts of the pig to flavor and thicken their stews, but with stricter federal regulations on what constitutes food, Georgians too had to switch to other meats. In North Carolina, cooks rely on their local staple—slow-cooked pork—to add protein to their version of Brunswick stew.
Even the type of vegetables used in the stew can change across state lines. Eastern North Carolinians add starchy potatoes to their version of the stew, making it much thicker and heartier. In Eastern Virginia, cooks change the ratio of vegetables, adding more tomatoes, resulting in a thinner stew than you'll find elsewhere. But no matter where you go, you're sure to find the "best" Brunswick stew, according to the region and who's cooking.
Beyond the matter of which recipe is best, Southerners also like to debate the origins of the savory soup. Although it's likely that Native Americans first invented the basic recipe for Brunswick stew (especially considering that it's made up almost entirely of indigenous veggies), fans still like to argue the point. The two major contenders are Brunswick County, Virginia, and Brunswick, Georgia.
In Virginia, the local story goes that in 1828 the personal chef of a Virginia legislator accompanied his employer on a hunting trip but was left with meager supplies when the venison he had brought along spoiled in the heat. Desperate for sustenance to feed the legislator and his guests when they returned to camp, the cook went on a hunting expedition of his own, scouring the countryside for squirrel. The resulting stew, Brunswick stew, would go down in history.
In Georgia, on the other hand, there is physical evidence of the original concoction. A cast iron cauldron sits upon a pedestal in Brunswick, Georgia, a plaque affixed to its mooring declaring it is the very pot in which the first recipe for Brunswick stew was developed on nearby St. Simons Island on July 2, 1898. And still others claim Brunswick stew as their own—including the first Brunswick: Braunschweig, Germany!
No matter what meat you throw in the pot or where you think it hails from, there's no denying the facts. Brunswick stew, simmered, salty and smoky, is wholly and deliciously Southern.

Tucked away in the back of my mind, for quite some time now, was Alton Brown's buffalo wing episode of Good Eats (The Wing and I). It was definitely time to bring up that recipe and put it to good use! After waiting over a month for the darn wings to go on sale at the store, I finally was able to pick some up and prepare wings, at home, for my buffalo-adoring husband. The method, although not at fast as picking up the phone and driving a mile down the road, worked out quite well and produced wonderfully moist and flavorful roasted wings. I ended up using a bottle of buffalo sauce we got from the Anchor Bar ages ago instead of Alton's sauce, but when that bottle runs out I will surely be trying Alton's.
Buffalo Wings
Source: Alton Brown
- 12 whole chicken wings
- 3 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
- Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
- While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl along with the garlic. Pour this along with hot sauce and salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine.
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

Whoever the owners of 81 22nd Avenue are, they sure know how to write a listing. But the listing in question isn't for the whole property, or even an in-law or cottage nestled in the backyard. Instead, it's for their (admittedly spacious) 7,200 square foot driveway. The price tag? A steep $35,000.
A block away from Lobos Creek and the Presidio Park, spitting distance from the Pacific Ocean, and just north of the Richmond District, it's an out-of-the-way locale that would require a car to get to.
Whoever snatches up this small parcel of land will need to pay homeowner association dues, as well as property taxes. The sale will be cash only and building on the lot is not permitted. If selling off a driveway seems like an interesting opportunity for current San Francisco homeowners, be forewarned that it will depreciate the home's value.
"I would never advise my clients to sell their parking space," said Alex Clark, a real estate agent at Paragon, in an interview with SFGate.
The listing description on Redfin reads like a tongue-in-cheek local ready to capitalize off of the tech boom and skyrocketing real estate:
"You can impress friends that you own real estate in San Francisco. Makes a great engagement present. [The buyer] can try to sub-divide it when they get divorced. … Air rights: You'll own the air above. This way, you can blackmail the US Navy to pay you a fee to fly over your air space for Fleet Week."
On the market as of April 1st (but apparently not an April Fool's prank), it will be a ride to see who will pay the elevated price for the luxury of guaranteed parking.

A well-written restaurant review for me is like a pile of prettily-wrapped Christmas presents, waiting to be opened under the tree. For someone who likes food and dining out, the anticipation can be exhilarating, especially if the review is about a favorite spot, an obscure find, or an exciting new place where you just scored a coveted reservation for Saturday night, perhaps a special occasion, and can't wait to be dazzled. But then you start to read the review, and disappointment and confusion start to set in. First, why no mention of the wine list, other than a perfunctory sentence or two about the general makeup of the list, such as, 'mostly French, with the rest from the US, Spain, Argentina, and Chile.' No shit? I think everyone knows the difference between a $22 piece of chicken, and a $35 piece of lobster. But how many people really know the difference between a $40 bottle and an $80 bottle? In my experience, almost nobody. Even if you put the bottles in front of them, side by side, very few could tell which was the more expensive bottle, and why (do you know which are the good years for Barolo?). People may generally know their one or two favorites, but that's usually about it. But you'll get no guidance from your gentle reviewer. To quote a recent review of an Italian restaurant, "There are plenty of pleasing [bottles] among the many Italian and American selections...." How is that helpful? Could you recommend maybe a couple of these 'pleasing' bottles? Maybe an inexpensive red, a white, and maybe a nice pricey bottle, for those who want to spend a little more? Like a decently priced Barolo?
Another review I just read mentions the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence received by a restaurant, but not one wine or any prices are even mentioned! Although the reviewer does mention 'small vineyards' and 'distinctive, hard-to-find appellations'. Like what? Does that have any meaning to anyone? And this review was of a French restaurant, where the wines ought to be of paramount importance. How hard is it to spend a few minutes examining the list? Of course, that assumes knowledge on the part of the reviewer in the first place, but even if you're clueless about wine, why not do five minutes of research and pick out some good bottles? For example, I might mention the Puligny Montrachet 1er cru Folatieres Domaine Paul Pernot, which at $132 on this particular restaurant's list, is less than double the retail price, which is a fair and gentle markup (even though the reviewer claims that '...prices are marked up as usual.', a completely unhelpful phrase, and really, there is no 'usual' markup anymore). If you were looking for a nice splurge, there it is, and that took about five minutes of checking. Remember, at an expensive dinner, your beverages could eat up as much as one-third to one-half of your check, so some guidance is really important.
(And by the way, what is a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, you might ask? To quote everyone's favorite wine bible, it is: "Our basic award, for lists that offer a well-chosen selection of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style. Typically, these lists offer at least 100 selections." And how many restaurants receive this prestigious award, you may ask? Well, there are currently over 3000 restaurants who have received this 'award', and for a non-refundable fee of $250, you too may be eligible, as long as you have a fax number. I wonder how many places get turned down? With over 4000 restaurants comprising the three levels of award winners, you do the math. Works out pretty well for everyone, especially Marvin Shanken, publisher of WS.)
So basically you're left to do your own research before you go out, because you don't want to spend twenty minutes at your table examining the wine list like it's written in Braille, and then end up with a mediocre, expensive bottle, anyway. First rule of reviewing: your job is to reveal, not conceal.
...And that's just the wine.

Any home-based profession has its advantages. Medical transcription has more, with the flexibility it offers. However, home-based medical transcription is not everyone's tea. Don't jump into the profession because somebody else is into it; the profession may not suit you at all. Let me explain why. You are easily distracted. If the primary reason you want to work from home is the comfort it promises to offer, you have started on the wrong note. Home will provide you comfort but you cannot afford to become comfortable if you want to meet those quality goals and chase those deadlines.You cannot ensure a secluded, noise-free 'office' at home. If your office-space is a hangout zone or frequented by family and guests, it is definitely not fit to be an office. Medical transcription requires you to be extremely focused, and you cannot guarantee focus in such an office space.You cannot work in isolation. Some people abhor co-workers while others adore them. Now, if you fall in the latter category, you may not be able to live with the absence of co-workers.You cannot handle an irregular inflow of work. If the thought of irregular work, and thus, irregular income scares you, the home-based profession is definitely not for you.
A home-based transcriptionist has to be prepared to handle ups and downs in terms of work.You cannot guarantee HIPAA-compliance. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has laid some guidelines to ensure security and confidentiality of medical information. As a home-based transcriptionist, you have to take measure to conform to those. If you cannot, don't work from home.Not being able to cope with the demands of home-based medical transcription does not mean you cannot be a good medical transcriptionist. Just take a regular job instead of working from home.

Still an issue in v1.26:
#1. Lemmings-style assignment (hold key and click Clones) uses Qwerty layout instead of the user's layout. I had stange misassignments and it took me a while to locate this.
#2. Not all OK-clickboxes are dismissable with a press of the space bar. Examples are the "couldn't join" messages in the screen with the rotating earth and "match in progress".
Resolved (or not verified again):
#3. Large/huge clones behave a bit oddly when it comes to doppler removal with exploders. The terrain removal mask increases for large exploders, but the doppler removal distance stays the same. This is an issue because the doppler's sphere of influence is much larger for large clones. It's likely best to have any exploder be able to remove any size of blocker.
#5. For the host/admin of a multiplayer game, the size selection of entrances doesn't do anything. Clones will always be the same size, no matter the setting. It isn't even saved on a click on Apply.
#6. End of a network game kicks the focus off the chat bar. Hitting Enter (or whichever key is used to chat) doesn't go back into the chat line, but instead sends its unfinished content.
#7. This isn't the case after every startup, right now it works. Original text of this issue will follow here.
-- Clonestats or Avatar publishing require the user to retype the password once after each game startup. Maybe it's saved improperly. This might need more testing.
#8. Player A hosts, player B is made admin. Both players receive the errorenous status message "A was made admin".
Hope I don't delay 1.25 for too long. ;-)
-- Simon
