It's been 17 days since I got your note, and in the meantime God dreamed to let the rain come down, let the rain come down, let the rain come down, down. Now there are lots of snow in my little town, but it must be a dream 'cause you're standing there hand in hand with your best friend on the beach, and the most precious moments seem to last forever.
Oh no, let me think about it!
Yesterday I was strollin' in my iTunes Store and I downloaded INCEPTION - THE APP, and I induced some dreams. Do you know that thing with dreams? Our dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wak

A few weeks ago your portrait became my favorite desktop, and starting my Mac there you still are, lying in the grass with your guitar, and it looks like you're dreaming. Well, maybe you are, and while you do so in this place called California far, far away there's happening something, and I can't tell no one anything about it.
But I have to because it's the truth, and right now your image becomes a window and your dream manifests a door just in front of me, and I can hear the birds in the trees, I can smell the summer sun in the air, and I'm listening to a song about California

Reality is that this is your sister looking like a princess beamed right out of a fairytale into a hot californian street, and look, it must be a dream watching a girl like this in such a place, far from green large meadows and mighty dark woods she usually belongs to. Reality is that you've been one of the ART WARRIOR

Starbucks caves to the radical gun lobby
If there was any doubt about how cowed America is by the gun lobby, it was erased today by Howard Schultz, the president, chairman and CEO of Starbucks Coffee Company. After months of controversy over whether patrons should openly be allowed to carry firearms in the company's stores, Mr. Schultz issued an open letter to his fellow Americans announcing that he would not adopt a no-weapons policy but would kindly request that customers keep their guns at home.

My twitter feed has exploded over the past few days, with capslock expressions of either utter joy or despair, sometimes in the same tweet. See, I follow a lot of people interested in – or employed by – the television industry. And right around the corner are network upfronts.
Up until last year, I had no idea what an upfront was, or why I should pay attention to one. New shows appeared on my TV schedule in the fall, stopped sometime in the spring, and either came back or didn't depending on the whims of TV executives. But then my favorite actor was cast in a pilot, and suddenly I was very interested in the whole process. (Funny how that works, right?)
So here's the process, as far as I can tell, in a nutshell:
1. Creative people write scripts.
2. Studios pick up a bunch of scripts.
3. Bunch of scripts narrowed down to a select few at each studio.
4. Casting/hiring of behind-the-scenes talent for those scripts.
5. Networks order pilots for some (but not all) of the scripts.
6. Pilot filming. (For more in-depth details on the pilot process, check out my blog post on flying to LA to watch the pilot filming of I Hate My Teenage Daughter last year.)
7. Upfronts. This is where the networks announce their schedules for the upcoming television season.
And that's where we are right now, with upfronts right around the corner. So for the past couple of days, reports have been leaked at most the major networks, sharing which current shows are getting the axe, as well as which new shows have been placed on the schedule. The show I mentioned above was officially cancelled this week, which wasn't a surprise – it had been yanked from the schedule so many times I would have been shocked if it ever showed up on the channel again. But for other fans of other shows, it's been a nailbiting week of joy and sorrow.
In a way, it's like the submission process for writers, on a far more public scale, and with many more people invested in the results. Though there's a curious comfort in sharing the experience with others who are just as anxious, it's also got to be stressful for the actors, writers, directors, and crew to know their impending employment status will be commented on by people across the country. Personally, I think I'll stick with the individual acceptance or rejection letter, thank you very much.
Do you follow the upfronts? Were any of your favorites saved or jettisoned this week? And are there any new shows you're anxious to check out?
1 Comment
Yes, though I am crushed by the cancellation of IHMTD, I am excited for a new show called "Last Resort" that was picked up, I believe by ABC. Why, you may ask? Because Max Adler will be starring in it, and I LOVE that guy! He's also filming a movie with the incomparable Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne Lewis from "Guiding Light"), which is another exciting thing to look forward to.
In the meantime, where is our ESS? You tweeted yesterday wondering this very thing? I don't know but SOMETHING needs to come up, and soon. I miss seeing him!

Given the chance to flex its collective muscles Saturday in a battle between two of the top softball leagues in the state, Howard County's squads didn't disappoint.
At the Bachman Sports Complex, in the annual Howard County and Anne Arundel County showcase event, eight of Howard County's 12 teams earned victories to display the kind of depth from top to bottom that local coaches have been raving about this preseason.
"You know with how good Anne Arundel county traditionally is that you are in for some good competition, but what is astounding this year is how strong Howard County is in softball," said Centennial coach Kathryn Grimm, whose team edged Southern 6-4. "You go through all 12 teams and there aren't easy games on the schedule for us. Days like today I think showcase how good our teams really are."
In addition to Centennial, Howard County picked up victories by Atholton (11-1 over South River), Glenelg (18-5 over Glen Burnie), Hammond (7-0 over North County), Mt. Hebron (11-3 over Broadneck), Oakland Mills (8-6 over Meade), River Hill (12-2 over Arundel) and Wilde Lake (25-3 over Annapolis).
Anne Arundel county's four victories came from Chesapeake (13-7 over Howard), Northeast (5-2 over Marriotts Ridge), Old Mill (12-11 over Long Reach in nine innings) and Severna Park (6-0 over Reservoir).
The showcase is technically in its third year of existence, but last year the event was rained out. This year, the skies were clear and the sun was out — and the team's delivered some quality softball.
"It's always nice for all the Howard County teams to get a look at some teams other than ourselves and see where you stack up," River Hill coach Marni Rosenbaum said. "We weren't able to get the games in last year here because of the rain and everything, so, although a little cold, this worked out well. Howard County in the past years maybe hasn't been so high (in the state), but we're definitely making our way up there."
Game recaps:
Atholton 11, South River 1
The Raiders picked up their second win in as many games, getting a no hitter from pitcher Alex Herschman (10 strikeouts) to lead the way. Herschman also led the team at the plate with a 2-3 day that included a grand slam, a triple, 6 RBI and two runs scored.
It was a day the Atholton junior says she won't soon forget.
"I have had good games with hitting and pitching before, but never a game where I pitched a no hitter and hit a grandslam homerun," Herschman said. "But I couldn't have done it without the support of my team."
Herschman said all of her pitches were working, including her curves, screws and rises.
Gina D'Asto also had a great day for the Raiders by going 3-3 with 3 runs scored and 3 stolen bases. Maya Schwartz provided more offensive power by hitting a homerun and to go with 2 RBI.
Outfielder Melissa Porras made a spectacular catch in left field in the fifth inning to steal a hit and salvage a no-hit bid.
A - 164 0x 11-7-2
Centennial 6, Southern 4

Pastéis de Belém
Pastéis de Belém or pastéis de nata, as they are also called, are a must-eat when in Portugal, and this is especially true if you are able to make it to their supposed birthplace, the town of Santa María de Belém, outside of Lisbon. The eggy custard tarts are believed to have originated out of an excess of egg yolks at the nearby Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, where egg whites were frequently used to starch nun's habits and clarify wine, and the yolks were used for, well, nothing.
Today you can get these very rich treats in pastry shops all over the country, but if you find yourself in Belém it's worth a visit to Casa Pastéis de Belém to get the real deal. It's a cavernous, tiled labrynth of a place, overflowing with all kinds of people enjoying their sweets, and it's a perfect place for a break after a visit to the nearby monastery and Torre de Belém.

The Best Investments for the Expanding Oil-Rig Market
By Rupert Hargreaves - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: CAM, NOV, ORIG, RDC
Over the next five years, it is expected that there will be a strong demand for deepwater and ultra-deepwater (UDW) rigs, as major oil and gas producers increasingly look towards offshore production in water exceeding depths of 5,000 feet. Despite this being a relatively high-risk area of operation, producers hope that the increased danger will be offset by larger and more lucrative hydrocarbon reserves.

Risky Companies That Lack Diversification
By Rupert Hargreaves - August 2, 2013 | Tickers: MNST, NTI, TNH
Any investor will tell you that the key to long-term sustainable investment returns is through diversification. Diversification through stocks is one thing, but companies that are not diversified themselves are another.
Companies that rely on only one production facility, one product or, one product line are exposing themselves to significant risks, such as the loss of a production facility, or boycotts and changing trends, all of which can quickly erase more »
Do Recent Declines in These Stocks Offer Opportunities for Profit?

I like to look for undervalued companies by searching for stocks that have put in the worst performances over the past week or month.

These Three Companies Are Undervalued

Earnings yield is a valuation method used by some analysts to compare individual companies to the rest of the market and government bonds, in particular, the risk-free 10-year Treasury. Currently the earnings yield for the S&P 500 stands at 5.1%, while the current 10-year Treasury yield is about 2.5% - indicating that the market as a whole is undervalued compared to bonds.

The market is missing something with chemical's company Axiall (NYSE: AXLL) and miner Pan American Silver (NASDAQ: PAAS). Both companies have very strong cash flows, generating huge amounts of cash, but despite this, the market is still placing a lower valuation on them than that of their peers.
Why is this?

Which Deathcare Company is the Best Investment?

Deathcare is an industry that is always going to be in demand.

However, there are not that many investments that the average investors can make in the market for death unless they decide to go out and start a firm themselves.

This is good
This kept me entertained all the way through. Whats more important is that it isn't a constant barrage of ridiculous random crazy jokes. The ridiculousness starts off so slow that once it gets completely over-the-top, you don't even realize it happened. The guy who posed as the white house had me laughing so hard. The humor is really well-paced and is well thought out (something Family Guy really really lacks).

Shimla - Brigadier A K Sharma of the Army's Western Command has said the relation between army and the Himachal Pradesh Government is cordial and added that land row would be resolved soon.
Talking to media here, Brigadier Sharma said the Annandale Grounds were crucial for the army's training program.
"The army has not issued any such statement. Probably things have got distorted. That is what I have to say on this. As far as the state government is concerned, we have no issues as such on this aspect. Our point is very clear, coming back to Annandale that Annandale is a very important piece of ground," Sharma added.
Sharma also said that the ground was of tactical importance for the army from the point of national security as also for defence preparedness.
"See, primarily the Annandale Ground is being used for training, for disaster preparedness and for all-preparedness. Anything else other than this, is secondary," he added.
On Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal's assertion that the state government is ready to provide alternate land in place of the Annandale Ground, Brigadier Sharma said there was no other ground in the region with similar strategic and national security significance.
The Annandale Ground was given on lease by the Himachal Government to the army after Independence, which expired in the year 1982.

I just ordered 10 more sets from Sam Ash and will always continue too use these strings. Great Strings at a great price.I do mostly Beatles and 60's style playing with moderate string bending and have never had an issue. Wow

Comments about Rickenbacker 95403 Nickel Round Wound Electric Guitar Strings (10-46):
I have used these on a Rickenbacker and on an American Strat Deluxe HSS. Intonation was perfect with virtually no adjusting and they stayed in tune day after day. I wanted to carry some of the "jangle" or brightness where it should be (meaning not brightness because of bad strings) from the Rick to the Fender. Using these strings did it very well. I didn't break any, but I don't as a rule and to me, that matters less then the sound quality and that is why I like them. For me, these and Pyramid are my two favorite string brands, but these are priced much better.

Steamboat vs Breckenridge
Are you going to get some snow in the Rockies this year, or what?
Love going to Crested Butte, but not loving the 5+ hour drive (if the weather cooperates) from Denver. So it looks like it's going to be Steamboat or Breck this year. I get the impression that SB will be more similar to CB than Breckenridge and i like the fact that it's base is almost 3,000ft lower than Breck. This flatlander had a couple of difficult nights dealing with CB's 9,000+ ft base. Not a huge deal, but I will be more comfortable at 6,700ft. Breckenridge, on the other hand is a little closer to Denver, has more lodging options for our large clan and has access to other resorts. Seems like more of a total package as far as "the experience" goes.
Does anyone have advice on must-do experiences at either resort, keeping in mind that if either has a place half as cool as The Secret Stash in Crested Butte, I'll probably be pretty happy.
Remember this, you are lucky to have lived during the golden age of beer (except Guinness, Heineken and Sam Adams).

Sure, the great Howard Hawks' final film falls short of his finest work. It can't touch the likes of The Big Sleep or His Girl Friday and, as a John Wayne-starring Western co-scripted with Leigh Brackett, it's a weaker take on similar themes in the director's classic, elegiac El Dorado and taut, claustrophobic Rio Bravo.
But still, it's no slouch. Wayne carries the acting can as a Union captain who teams up with two captured Confederates to track down a man responsible for stealing a gold shipment. It's essentially a Hawksian character study, albeit one bookended by a train robbery and a shoot-out, the director tracing the bonding of disparate individuals through responsibility and respect. Typical of the output in his twilight years, it has a pleasing, insouciant attitude to pace, preferring laidback humour and relaxed rhythms to all-out narrative drive.

NewsChannel 11 was told Lubbock police are now working with the FBI in this case. Assistant Police Chief Thomas Esparza tells us they believe at least four people are involved in illegally releasing patient information to at least one business in town.
Lubbock police reports indicate it all started at University Medical Center. Just last week, a patient visited the emergency room for a back injury. Only to find out later, all his confidential medical information, which is supposed to be protected by federal HIPPA laws, somehow got out.
NewsChannel 11 has learned from an UMC insider that two UMC employees were allegedly being paid under the table to give patient information to a physical therapy center in Lubbock. Police tell NewsChannel 11 they are investigating that, but at this point, they can't prove money was involved.
UMC tells us that as a result of this investigation, they fired a UMC employee on Tuesday, the day this incident was reported to police.
UMC says in a written statement to NewsChannel 11, "If these allegations prove to be true, this is a serious breach of public trust by the individuals involved. UMC is strongly committed to protecting the confidentiality of patient information," said Division Director Greg Bruce.
Police are not releasing names of the suspects until they know for sure if a crime has been committed. We have confirmed that at least 200 patients had their information illegally released.

Quote: Bump, no excuse everyone goes shopping, dont they ?
Well I went into town today to see if I could get the shot I had been thinking about, but horrified to see how quiet it was. Result was no photos taken, and I can't change that tomorrow as it's the office lunch, so I'll not be on here before 8pm tomorrow night!
No shopping for me at the moment - desperate just to get off the slippery pavements However I did take some pics on the way home yesterday and will upload one. I will try to keep up with this group - it would do me good to start thinking in B&W occasionally....
This weeks challenge winner is cats_123 with coffee and muffins.
Just 4 entries but once again an interesting variety of takes on the theme. Gypsymans photo captured well the busy coming and going of the festive fray, whilst Sandgrouses bag laden shopper pointed up in a well comped documentary style, the hard work it can take to get the job done. Liked Cattyalls shot for the lack of shoppers....just a few soldiering on against the white tide.
Finally chose Jeffs shot because for me it was a different and original take with an emphasis on the therapy side of the theme, and a very well produced picture. Some coming and going action with the man on the escalator, the figure with the bag on the stairs, and the figure leaving in the aisle, and all of these sort of framing the more relaxed people drinking their coffee.
Nice one Jeff..... over to you for this weeks challenge.
Well done cats123 really like the shot great B&W image. Thanks Phil for hosting and nice theme.
Wow!!! I've won something
Many, many thanks Phil......and to Rick, Alison & Eric for your support.....It's a little disappointing that we're not getting more entries, but I think if we persevere we''ll start to win people over.....and particularly if members are looking for something different to stimulate them after the hols!!
So...to this week's theme...hopefully everyone will get to meet up with family or friends and partake of some nice food and perhaps even a few drinks??? This time of the year, whether Christian or Pagan is about feasting , so I've gone for Indulgence as this week's theme. You might even want to include the prefix over!!!
I hope it will give some a chance to show off their indoor photography skills, but don't let this restrict you....if you're lucky enough to get a gift that allows you to indulge yourself or just want to capture some post Christmas relaxation...let it go.
Entries by 8pm next Wednesday 29th Dec
Have a fantastic holiday and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas
PS remember to head up the subject line with B&W Challenge

The family of a missing Tazewell County man has increased a reward for information from $5,000 to $8,000.
Cedar Bluff Police Chief David Mills said Monday that the family of 42-year-old Eric Smith hopes the higher reward will encourage someone to come forward with information about his whereabouts.
Smith was last seen Nov. 8 leaving his home in Cedar Bluff to go hunting on his property. Family members reported him missing after he failed to return home that evening.
His disappearance is being investigated by the Cedar Bluff Police Department and the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Rick Klau recently, and we got into a deep discussion about how to get the most out of your RSS feeds. One of the key points we discussed was the notion of including the your entire article into the feed, not just a summary.
I asked Rick about this, and he said that he is a fan of this approach. Many have debated the pros and cons of this approach, with the two sides of the argument being about the tradeoffs between providing users the ability to read your content directly in your feed, if they prefer this, versus the goal of getting users to your site.
Rick points out that there is another entire dimension to this argument that most people are missing. More and more RSS services are discovering feeds and indexing feed content based on the content of the article as presented in the feed. Including the full article in the feed itself increases exposure in these services, and therefore increases the reach of your feed and site.
One example of this is Techmeme that scans feeds to see links between posts to quickly build a map of all the discussions on a particular subject. If you publish only a summary of an article that does not include a key link, then you can miss out on participating in the traffic and exposure that a service like Techmeme can provide.

Capital ranks high for beers
MONTPELIER The state capital recently was named the fourth best city in the country for beer lovers by the financial assistance website nerdwallet.com.
The site looked at the top 50 breweries in the country, according to the magazine Beer Advocate, and found they were clustered around four cities. Also on the list were San Diego, Calif., San Francisco and Portland, Ore.
The breweries located near Montpelier make the Beer Advocates list, the site reads. In fact, the No. 1 spot goes to the Heady Topper from The Alchemist in Waterbury, it says. Hill Farmstead Brewery has 11 different beers on the Beer Advocate list of the top 250 beers, and Lawsons Finest Liquors is at No. 28 with its Double Sunshine IPA, the site says.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Drivers who use hand-held cellphones and other electronic devices while driving...

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at email@example.com.
Great column and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Wanted to give kudos to referee Brad Meier, who demonstrated great knowledge of the rules when a rare situation occurred in a game between the Kings and Bruins on Thursday night (and the second time I've seen it at Staples Center).
Boston's Dougie Hamilton was exiting the penalty box shortly after the start of the second period and played the puck while his skates were still in the box. Meier immediately blew the play dead and assessed the minor for interference. This was a much better outcome than a couple seasons ago when a player stopped a potential breakaway by playing the puck from the bench in a late-season game.
Kerry, you've made thousands of calls over your career, what's the rarest/oddest you've had to make?
Keep up the great work!
Derek May Hey Derek:Kudos to you as well for crediting referee Brad Meier for his quick and accurate response when Dougie Hamilton committed a violation of rule 56.2 by playing the puck while his skate(s) remained firmly planted inside the penalty box. (56.2—A minor penalty shall be imposed on any identifiable player on the players' or penalty bench who, by means of his stick or his body, interferes with the movements of the puck or any opponent on the ice during the progress of the play. In addition, should a player about to come onto the ice, play the puck while one or both skates are still on the players' or penalty bench, a minor penalty for interference shall be assessed.)
Quite interestingly I had the occasion to assess a similar penalty when a player stepped out of the penalty box in Calgary to grab a clearing shot with full intention to sprint away on a breakaway. He never got any farther than touching the puck before I blew the whistle since his back skate was still in contact with the threshold of the penalty box door! At the time all the players were confused by the call since they had no idea about the rule.
The most bizarre interference penalty of this nature was one I called on Jaromir Jagr in a game at the Igloo in Pittsburgh. Jagr was waiting patiently to replace his teammate on the fly who was still a good fifteen feet from the Penguins bench. Jaromir wanted to get a head start so he sat on top of the bench dasher boards with his skates hanging down and dangling above the ice. Jagr's teammate made it to the bench in time for a legal change just as the puck came near the bench. Rather than jump off the dasher onto the ice Jaromir remained seated, stopped the puck and began to stickhandle it with his skates still hanging off the ice. Jagr was quite surprised when I blew the whistle and gave him an interference penalty. He didn't know that what he did was illegal either!
Another time the same player (Jagr) decided to leave the ice while play was in progress. The problem was he didn't go to his players' bench to make a legal substitution but instead stopped in front of the end zone door that leads to the Penguins dressing room. 'Jags' knocked on the glass, the young kid that attended to the dressing room opened the door (who was he to argue with Jaromir Jagr?) and the Penguin superstar stepped off the ice as play continued! The Pens were subsequently playing a man short with Jagr heading to the dressing room so a replacement player jumped over the boards from the bench. Once the Penguins gained possession of the puck I stopped play and assessed a bench minor penalty for illegal substitution.
Jaromir Jagr is an amazing player and an automatic selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame awaits him whenever he finally retires. It was a thrill to watch him perform from close range for so many years.
I was also happy that I was able to teach Jagr some of the playing rules along the way.

Guided Trips
Guided Canoe and Kayak Trips
Let us take care of the planning, preparation and logistics for you. You just come and have fun! Grab your group of 10 or more and let's hit the water.
We know you have a busy life and sometimes we hear people say how going on the river is just too much work, with:
planning where to camp
building fires
carrying food and then preparing meals
and worst of all, how much work cleaning up is after meals
WRO has the solution for you! Let us do all the work and you and your friends can sit back, relax and enjoy the river.
Our guided canoe and kayak trips are designed for…everyone! We've had 3 year olds on our trips and we've taken senior groups also.
Our trips are primarily on the Wisconsin River for groups of 10+ people, over a period of 2 – 4 days. However, we will go anywhere in the state providing the river is conducive to camping. Also, ask about our whitewater trips, which are best before July on the Flambeau River.
While on your guided trip, you will camp on the sandbars in the middle of the river. Your guide will provide meals and take care of campsite (sandbar!) selection and any other logistical considerations. You WILL NOT find a better experience this close to home!
Scouts and Non Profits
WRO is the Midwest's source for guided trips for Boy and Girl Scouts and non profit organizations. We take care of the logistics, all you have to do is show up. If needed we'll provide tents and sleeping bags for your group and we always provide great meals. Visit our Scouts/Non Profit page for additional details.

It is illegal to be in possession of glass on the Wisconsin River. Assume you WILL be searched by the WI Dept. of Natural Resources. If caught you will face a fine of upto $749 for the possession of glass (beer bottles, jelly jars, mayo jars, wine bottles).
Fireworks are also illegal and punishable by fines. We are trying to provide a peaceful experience for our paddlers and the many migratory birds that we share the river with. Leave your glass and fireworks at home and save yourself the fine for being in possession of them on the river.

Breath. Light. Time. Space.
Years ago, four kids lived in a state of peace. But on April 13th, 2009, a universe creating game was put into motion. Only these players that risked their life and limb could tilt the scale of fate, however, anarchist Jack Noir corrupted the chances of success.
It's been a long time coming and we've come across awesome heroes, many strong in their own right. Albeit these noble advocates have unparalleled powers, their worst foe is awakening in the throes of darkness. But somehow, they will be the saviors of the waking world.
If you're gonna get rid of the captions, at least have the decency to leave the italicized up stuff I typed up! It comes with the bundle.
Big versions of the animations are available if you click the respective titles in the quote. AND, OKAY I'LL ADMIT: it took at least 2-3 days to complete a single one of these but I'm just lazyass so I didn't really bother, haha"ha… Big thanks to my brother who doesn't like Homestuck but still puts up with me- hell, he helped me with Jades animation! Rock on!
Welp, I guess now I gotta work on the boring stuff but I'll spare the details unless I come up with something cool??
So I hope you enjoy these dorky little animations and thank you peeps for sticking around; you've all been such an amazing crowd ಥ⌣ಥ

Every Christmas Eve we like to experiment with lots of different, fun appetizers, but we always include this smoked trout dip because everyone loves it.
Smoked Trout Spread
Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
Thanks to the rich flavor of the smoked trout, there's no need to season this spread with extra salt or pepper. Look for smoked trout in the same section of the grocery store that has the fresh fish. Bagel chips or Melba toasts provide crunchy contrast to the creamy dip, but toasted baguette slices are good, too.

Introducing Nepal
Wedged between the high wall of the Himalaya and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains, Nepal is a land of snow peaks and Sherpas, yaks and yetis, monasteries and mantras.
Mountain Adventures
Ever since Nepal first opened its borders to outsiders in the 1950s, this tiny mountain nation has had an irresistible mystical allure for travellers. Today, legions of trekkers are drawn to the Himalaya's most iconic and accessible hiking, some of the world's best, with rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond. Nowhere else can you trek for days or even weeks in incredible mountain scenery, secure in the knowledge that a hot meal, cosy lodge and warm slice of apple pie await you at the end of the day. Nepal is nirvana for mountain lovers.
Other travellers are drawn here by the adrenaline rush of rafting down a roaring Nepali river or bungee jumping into a bottomless Himalayan gorge. Canyoning, climbing, kayaking, paragliding and mountain biking all offer a rush against the backdrop of some of the world's most dramatic landscapes.
Temples & Tigers
Other travellers prefer to see Nepal at a more gentle pace, admiring the peaks over a gin and tonic from a Himalayan viewpoint, strolling through the temple-lined medieval city squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and joining Buddhist pilgrims on a spiritual stroll around the centuries-old stupas and temples that lie scattered across the Kathmandu Valley.
Further south lie Nepal's wild and woolly national parks, where nature buffs scan the treetops for exotic bird species and comb the jungles for rhinos and tigers from the backs of lumbering Indian ele-phants. Whether you cross the country by mountain bike, motorbike, raft or tourist bus, Nepal offers an astonishingly diverse array of attractions and landscapes.
Travel Heaven
There are few countries in the world that are as well set up for independent travel as Nepal. Wandering the trekking shops, bakeries and pizzerias of Thamel and Pokhara, it's easy to feel that you have somehow landed in a kind of backpacker Disneyland. Out in the countryside lies a quite different Nepal, where traditional mountain life continues stoically and at a slower pace, and a million potential adventures glimmer on the mountain horizons.
The biggest problem faced by visitors to Nepal is how to fit everything in. Many people have spent a lifetime exploring the mountain trails of the Himalaya and the atmospheric temple towns of the Middle Hills, and they still keep coming back for more. Our advice is to pick a handful of essential experiences for your first visit and save the rest for trips two, three and four…

I think I have mentioned this in past posts, but one of my favorite things about being in the design industry are the connections I am able to make with other designers and artists. A first and favorite of these connections was with the fantastic Michelle Armas. Besides her obvious talent with a paintbrush, this lady is about as real as it gets. Not to mention gorgeous both inside and out.
A couple months back she decided to plan a trip up to Seattle to hang with all of us Seattlites. So… of course I had to plan a party to celebrate! I pulled in a couple of my favorite ladies, Theresa Crim and Jenny Vorwaller, to help host. Theresa and I put our culinary skills to work and created a pretty yummy spread (if I do say so myself). I gathered together arrangements of my favorite assorted seasonal flowers for a fun/untamed look, and concocted a couple summer themed cocktails. Simple as that, but we sure had a blast!
My soul sister, Theresa, offered up her stylin' abode (see photos… pretty rad), and once again my generous friend, Dorothée of Belathee photography, was floating around like a butterfly taking some seriously beautiful photos to capture the night.
Thanks for coming everyone! Wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of you.

Michi, you will have to come back soon so we can have a repeat! So honored to call you my friend. xxoo

Almaty International Airport is the largest international airport in Kazakhstan. It is located about 18 kilometers (11 mi) from the centre of Almaty, the country's largest city and commercial capital. Almaty airport accounts for half of passenger traffic and 68% of cargo traffic to Kazakhstan. In 2011, the airport handled 3.6 million passengers (42% growth to 2009).
The airport was built in 1935. Up to 1990 it was the part of Kazakh Department of Civil Aviation, and then reorganized into "Alma-Ata Airport" in 1991. Since 1993 it has run as an independent business unit. In 1994 it was reorganized into OJSC "Almaty Airport" and later renamed to JSC Almaty International Airport.

The client will make this possible by connecting to the corporate management infrastructure and to a self-service portal, which displays applications that are available for each user to download. This provides a mechanism to download proprietary line-of-business Metro apps to employees without placing them in the public Windows Store. As the blog says, "there is no reason to broadcast these applications to others or to have their application deployment managed through the Windows Store process."
If the business or the owner of the device decides to remove it from corporate management, the client will wipe out the proprietary apps.
Before users can connect their Windows RT devices to the management service, their Active Directory settings must be changed to allow it and to specify how many devices they are allowed to connect via SSL authentication. The process involves registering the device with the network.
Each user authorized to use the management service must be specified within Active Directory as someone allowed to connect devices. Once connected, the client makes daily maintenance reports about the hardware, applies changes to settings policies on the devices, reports on compliance with those policies and updates the proprietary apps as needed.
The client also will inform the management platform whenever users initiate application installation from the self-service portal, the blog says.
Administrators will be able to set security parameters the devices must comply with such as maximum failed logins, lockout after a maximum period of inactivity, requiring passwords of specified length and complexity, imposing enabled and expired dates on passwords and maintaining password history.
The agent will also be able to set up VPN connections automatically to the management infrastructure so users don't have to do it manually. The client also will report the status of drive encryption, auto-update, antivirus, and antispyware.

The Econometrics Of Financial Markets
AbstractThe abundance of high-frequency financial data and the rapid development of computer hardware have combined to transform financial economics into, arguably, the most empirically oriented field within the social sciences. At the same time, as a result of the difficulty of conducting genuine market experiments, empirical finance remains firmly grounded in the tradition of model-driven statistical inference that is characteristic of economics. Even so, the richness of data has often spurred a practical orientation that is more familiar in the natural sciences. The combination has proved fertile, leading to the classification of a set of loosely connected empirical topics as a distinct entity, financial econometrics.

WFP's helicopter operation to help hundreds of thousands of east African flood victims swung into action over the weekend with a four ton delivery of emergency supplies to Gurufa in northeastern Kenya amid fears of further rains.
Two other helicopters ferried aid from Nairobi to the southern Somali town of Wajid.
WFP aims to provide aid to 2.7 million Kenyans for the next three months – an increase of 300,000 people.
Rains continue
Up to 160,000 mostly Somali refugees in northern Kenyan camps which have been cut off by floodwaters will receive rations for 14 days.
With rains expected to continue through to January WFP urgently requires donations for the expected expansion of its special air operation.
Donations so far include US$5.5 million from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund and US$240,000 from Switzerland for WFP's US$11.4 million air operation.

AP PHOTOS: College commencements across nation
Monday - 5/20/2013, 12:50pm EDT
The Associated Press
In a commencement address at Atlanta's historically black Morehouse College, President Obama said graduates should "find time to defend the powerless."
The president said his own success was due to "the special obligation I felt, as a black man like you, to help those who need it most, people who didn't have the opportunities that I had -- because there but for the grace of God, go I. I might have been in their shoes. I might have been in prison. I might have been unemployed."
In New Jersey, Rutgers University graduated the largest class in school history -- an estimated 14,302 students.
At New York's Hofstra University, students wore white ribbons at their graduation ceremony in honor of Andrea Rebello, one of their colleagues killed by a gunshot early Friday morning. A police officer accidentally killed 21-year-old Rebello as an armed intruder held her in a headlock.
Here are some images from college commencements across the nation:

Nikon announces priority shipments of new AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
Nikon is notifying NPS members that they're planning to ship the much anticipated "II" version of the popular 70-200mm lens in late November to NPS members IF they make sure to contact NPS and give them their pre-order information. The lens is especially anticipated by D3 and D700 owners who may have noticed increased vignetting when using the current version with full frame digital cameras. If you're an NPS member and haven't gotten the information from Nikon, make sure and contact NPS with your pre-order information to get your lens in a timely fashion.
