Perfection! I love this dress! I swore off lace after trying other dresses on but my bridesmaids convinced me to try on just this one more. I'm so glad I did! It isn't your traditional lace. It has a modern take on it. The dress is beautiful and makes anyone with curves look great. Don't let the picture fool you. I can't wait for my groom to see it! July 17, 2012
BEAUTIFUL I went to David's Bridal with a list of 8 dresses, all of them lace. I knew I wanted a lace dress with a fit-and-flare silhouette; it just seemed the best for my body type. My brother, who is my "man of honor," was unable to come dress shopping with my mother and I, so I asked him to look through my favorites and pick HIS favorite. This was his pick. I tried it on first and then compared everything else to it. I think I tried on 8 dresses total before putting this back on. After trying it on again, I started to cry...a moment I didn't think I would have when dress shopping. I think I knew it was going to be this dress all along. I'm heading back to David's this week with my mom, again, but also with my dad and my brother so they can see the dress in person. I can't WAIT to walk down the aisle in this dress to my future husband next summer!!! July 15, 2012
Perfect mix of modern and traditional This gown was toward the bottom of my list when I went in for my very first wedding appointment. I am more of a modern/non-traditional bride, so I didn't want anything with lace. After trying on several dresses and not being ocerwhelmed, I figured that trying this one on was worth a shot. Even though I never thought I would cry when I found the one, I cried.. I cried hard. I knew it was the dress. The dress features a modern take on lace. It isn't like your old-fashioned lace, but still gives it a very traditional feel. The silhouette is wonderful, and it definitely isn't your traditional silhouette. If you have an hourglass figure, it will show off your curves in the very best way. Stunning gown! I cannot wait to wear it for my wedding! July 14, 2012
Gorgeous! Picture doesn't do it justice, my Mum and Sister cried when they saw this dress! I bought this dress back in April when it had first come into the store. It was the last dress my consultant picked out for me because I wasn't happy with an A-line shape. She pulled it out and said she had never seen it before but would I like to try it on?! I love the unusual leaf pattern in the lace, it's so different. I am from Britain and my wedding is in Wales in the Spring and I absolutely guarantee no one will have seen anything like it before. I may sew something sparkly onto the ribbon at the waist just to give it a bit of sparkle, but otherwise I love this dress! July 12, 2012

SAN DIEGO -- More than 1,400 polling places opened Tuesday for a primary election in which San Diegans will vote for mayor, decide between two ballot measures and choose among numerous legislative and congressional candidates.
Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler said early indications pointed to a low turnout -- in the neighborhood of 40 percent.
Up to last Saturday, 2,212 residents voted early at the registrar's office, compared to 8,535 in a similar period two years ago, Seiler said. Roughly 32 percent of the some 761,000 mail-in ballots sent were returned by midday Monday, she said.
Four experienced elected officials are running for mayor -- Councilman Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher. A fifth candidate, Tobiah Pettus, is also on the ballot. Steven Greenwald and John "Woody'' Woodrum are write-in candidates.
Four prominent candidates cast their ballots this morning.
"I think San Diegans are ready to send a powerful message about what they want in their next mayor,'' Fletcher said.
Dumanis said she hoped her positive message to turn San Diego around would resonate with voters.
"As Margaret Thatcher said, you know, if you want something to be said, ask a man. If you want something to be done, ask a woman,'' Dumanis said. "And this woman is ready to get it done.''
DeMaio said relief was on the way.
"Services are going to come back, the road repairs are going to start, jobs are going to be created because we're going to be focused on getting things done at City Hall,'' DeMaio said.
Filner was confident he would advance to the November runoff.
"I think any two of the four of us can make the runoff, so people have to come out and vote,'' Filner said.
Polls will be open until 8 p.m., and results from the early voters and mail-in ballots should be released soon after. The first results from precincts should be available by 10 p.m., Seiler said.
The city of San Diego ballot measures pit supporters against organized labor, which opposes both.
Proposition A would forbid the city from forcing contractors on major municipal projects to submit to Project Labor Agreements, which backers believe are too union-friendly. Proposition B seeks to change the city's pension system by giving most new employees 401(k) plans instead of enrolling them in the pension system, and only base salary over the next five years would be calculated into a worker's eventual retirement pay.
The five odd-numbered San Diego City Council seats are up for election, and two crowded races could be close.
In District 1, which encompasses La Jolla and Carmel Valley, incumbent Sherri Lightner was challenged by businessman and former city pension board member Ray Ellis, attorney Bryan Pease and Dennis Ridz, chairman of the Torrey Pines Planning Board.
In the open District 7 seat, community volunteer Rick Hauptfeld, retiree Nathan Johnson, home health advocate Mat Kostrinsky and businessman Scott Sherman are running. The district, which includes Tierrasanta, Del Cerro and San Carlos, is being vacated by incumbent Marti Emerald, who sought to take over the newly created District 9.
Among San Diego's congressional delegation, longtime Democratic target Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Solana Beach, has a long list of challengers, including Port Commissioner Scott Peters, former Assemblywoman Lori Saldana, D-San Diego, and ex-Santee Mayor Jack Dale. Peters is also a Democrat, while Dale is running as an independent.
In local races, unless someone takes more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two will face off in the November general election. In the congressional and state Legislative races, the top two will also square off in November, regardless of political party.

The Drums
Ok so yesterday I found out that one of my most favourite bands is coming to South Africa to play – THE DRUMS. This is part Three of the adidas Originals Live Performance Series and I'm so excited I could rip off the heads of a 1000 teddy bears. Not sure how this translates into happiness, but when I think about going to this concert that's what I feel like doing.
I'm sure a lot of you know who The Drums are, if you don't start listening now. You have until November to get amped and trust me it's not hard to. These guys are awesome. Shane saw them perform in Paris and he said it was one of the best concerts he's ever been too and I have always been so bummed that I wasn't there too. But that is all going to change sooooooon.
Thank you adidas and thank you we-are-awesome you biscuits you.

I can't wait for this, it's going to be epic.
I have waited so long for these guys to come to SA. It's the best news ever!
That's so cool!!
Do you know where I can get tickets? I love them!
So bummed! Writing finals when they're here:( and i live in PE…

A Rental Bath, Accessorized
Mini Tour
This is the true story of a real person with a rental bathroom, trying to accessorize and make the best of it. We moved into our apartment a year ago, and had virtually nothing to put in the bathroom, except for wedding gifts. And so we went shopping for accessories.
We started out trying to create a streamlined, simple bathroom, but then felt the need to add colorful accessories. Now we're somewhere in the middle of clean and colorful, playing with both ideas. (Nota bene: we're not allowed paint and are saving our money for a house.) We love the accessories we have, especially the ones that hint of a nautical theme &mdash glass urchin, jellyfish print, blue glass, but still plan on tinkering with the bath as a whole.
Future goals include: Replace bamboo tray with white lacquered tray, replace stainless-steel lidded Q-tip jar with all-glass jar. We would like to simplify without getting too boring.
• 1 Upon the recommendation of fellow Apartment Therapy readers and bloggers, we started with a basic "waffle" shower curtain in white, $49.50 at Macys. We wanted to keep the small bathroom looking as spacious as possible.
• 2 To protect the curtain, we bought a white (versus clear) shower liner, $14.95 from Crate & Barrel.
• 3 Also upon the recommendation of Apartment Therapy readers and bloggers, we chose stainless steel roller rings, $11.95 at Crate and Barrel. They do, indeed, roll smoothly.
• 4 Our main towels (which were wedding gifts) are Macy's Hotel Collection turkish towels in ivory and suede, but for a little fun, we snagged some zebra-print towels on sale from West Elm. $12-$64 at Macys.
• 5 The Thomas O'Brien bath mat from Target matches our suede turkish towels, and gets put on the tub, under the curtain, when not in use. The graphic mat is from West Elm.
• 6 Poster from the Monteray Bay Aquarium, frame from Target
• 7 Bamboo tray, $14.95 at Crate and Barrel
• 8 Apothecary jar for Q-tips, $7.99 at The Container Store
• 9 Big Ben Folding Alarm Clock, $29.50 at L.L. Bean, so I know what time it is in the morning rush to get out the door.
• 10 White tissue box, West Elm.
• 11 Prism replica, from a whaling ship, $12.95 at Mystic Seaport
• 12 Glass sea urchin by Roost, $10.00 at Velocity Art and Design
• 12 Small canister for cotton pads, $16.95 from Crate and Barrel

FYI - "sans" means "without". I think you meant something more like "except."
Fun space! All the accessories seem personal to you, not generic, and I appreciate that. I also like how you are envisioning the space as you continue to work on it. I think we are also going to buy a white waffle curtain! Love the jellyfish print, too!
Never thought about adding a little clock... good call, definitely something I'll have to do with my rental!
Ah! We have the exact same sink cabinet! Except the knobs - did you change those out, too?
DodieGoldney -- no I didn't change the knobs, they came like that. Kinda funky!
How does a white liner protect the curtain better than a clear one?
"How does a white liner protect the curtain better than a clear one?"
Clear one tends to be hard and stiff white nylon is softer.
I have a non PVC liner that is more like fabric and less like plastic.
Wow, this looks like the exact same set-up as my bathroom – but ours ISN'T a rental. We just have no idea where to begin (or how much it will cost).
What would you do if you had the right (and the money)?
I think it looks awesome, but If I hung pictures in my bathroom, they would get water damaged.
Also, I love the arrangement on top of the toilet. Couldn't do that either though, it would block the flush button (and I'm pretty sure the top of ours is curved.
I really dislike that brown rug right next to the black one. They don't complement each other. I'm sure you could find either a black, white or colored one on sale. I'm a little worried for your wedding photo. Even if you aren't splashing it, a hot shower will create condensation that could get it wet.
I like most of it, but can't get past the bath mats. I have a weird aversion to using them...They are so great when just out of the dryer, but after a day or two they just look stepped on and dirty. If a client demands them, I try for fabric alternatives like bamboo or stone. If fabric is essential, I try for white, so they can be bleached weekly and will blend with the white floor, thus making the floor appear uncluttered. The dark, mismatched bath mats in this bathroom just make it look messy.
yup, definitely still looks like a rental. keep trying.
I love the picture of your ducks! We were given the same ones from my in-laws when we first got married and now our son plays with them in the bath! Nice playful touch.
I so sympathize with the renter bathroom situation. My advice? Get one larger, more colorful rug and place it lengthwise (short end against the tub) to replace the two smaller rugs. You could also really use a plant on the toilet tank (I love the tray). I don't know if it's just the picture or what, but it looks like your bathroom doesn't get much natural light, which, to me, makes all the neutral colors (the black and white, the brown) look dingy. I would pep things up with some brighter colors in your towels and rugs. Finally, I would take those cabinet doors off altogether and replace them with a little skirt or curtain. They look as if they don't fit the frame well and are a different white from the rest of the vanity, which adds to the whole "renter" feel. Adding a skirt gives you yet another chance to add color or pattern.
PS-- Replace the switch plate, maybe with a chrome one to match the towel bar. You can stick the old one in a drawer and put it back when you move.
Gosh, I'm new to this community but people can be so rude, huh? I think it looks cute, especially the bride & groom ducks! And I like the waffle shower curtain. I've just moved into a rented house here in the UK, and trying to figure out what to do with my bathroom, this has given me a few ideas.

LAS VEGAS -- A stepmother is facing murder charges after she repeatedly ignored signs that her 12-year-old stepson was seriously sick.
Kalinda Mercado clutched a key chain. She said her stepson Emmanuel Austin Mercado made it for her a few years ago.
Mercado said there were happy times, but that changed last February when Austin was rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest and died a day later from a ruptured appendix.
"He was my son. I would not do anything to hurt him," Mercado said.
According to an arrest report Metro released Tuesday, investigators said Mercado ignored Austin's symptoms of appendicitis for more than a week.
Read the Arrest Report for Kalinda Mercado
The report details how Austin went to the nurse's office several times throwing up with severe stomach pains and a high fever.
The police report also states that Mercado did not take Austin to the doctor even after the school nurse told her his condition could be life threatening.
Austin's biological mother, Starr Flores, was at the hospital when her son passed away.
"His stomach was busted open. Oh my God what happened to my baby," Flores said.
After Austin died, Flores said she demanded an autopsy because she felt Mercado and her ex-husband José Mercado could have done more to help Austin.
The coroner later found there were signs of neglect and ruled his death a homicide.
"Why didn't he tell me I am in pain Dad, he never once said nothing bothered him," Jose Mercado said.
Jose Mercado and his wife both maintain they had no idea how sick Austin was at the time.
Flores said she had suspected abuse and neglect in the past and called Child Protective Services. Records show an investigation took place in 2011, but no abuse was found and said she still wishes she fought harder to get her son back.
"I regret every second of every day," Flores said.
Kalinda Mercado is now out on bail. She and her husband have four other children.
Mercado is due in court Wednesday morning and that's when the judge will set a date for a preliminary hearing where they'll determine if there's enough evidence for the case to go to trial.

Chapter 30 Reviews
When we got back Mikey decided to look at the films we had got for tonight. Me and Gerard glanced at each other and burst into giggles. Ray and Mikey exchanged looks and glared at us looking completely bemused but we just carried on giggling. Mikey shrugged and searched through the films. Plenty of horror, obviously, and a few comedies, just so we didn't look like sadistic creeps which is hard when you're all wearing black and staring at horror films intently with manic grins. Mikey pulled out the last film, turned a fluorescent pink and dropped it as me and Gee started laughing even harder.
"Hey what's wrong?" Ray asked quizzically. Mikey turned to stare at us "You guys... That's just... Oh my god it's just wrong!" he exclaimed making us laugh harder. "For fucks sake will someone please tell me what it is!?" Ray moaned. I threw the film at him. He stared at it for a minute. "Well it could be worse" he murmured "HOW COULD IT BE WORSE!?" Mikey screeched like a teenage girl. "Well considering what they've been known for..." Ray trailed off. "Oh god no don't put that image in my head!" Mikey responded. Me and Gee went ballistic with laughter.
"Damn Ray you should've helped us! That idea was awesome!" Gee complained once we calmed down. "No thanks" he replied turning the Xbox 360 on. "Whatcha gonna play?" I asked. He shifted over to the pile of games "Um not zombie stuff I've been playing that shit for like a week now... Sci-Fi stuff maybe?" he murmured. "Shooting game!" Mikey yelled as he picked up a controller. "What about... What's it called again? Halo I think it is that's got shooting and Sci-Fi in it doesn't it?" Gee asked. "Yeah let's play that!" I yelled picking up a controller and passing the other to Gee. "Which one's the best?" Ray asked. "How the fuck should I know?" Gee scoffed. "Reach!" Mikey yelled. "Yeah that's a pretty good one." Ray agreed, nodding and putting the disc in.
After half an hour we were completely hooked, even Gee. Currently Ray and Mikey were joint first, I was second and Gee was last but we were too busy shooting each other to care. "FUCK YOU!" Gee yelled as he got killed by Mikey... Again. "Aw come on bro! You're not doing that badly!" Mikey said. Then he looked at the scoreboard. "Okay so maybe you are but still." Gee glared at him "Wow thanks Mikes for the brotherly support and caring." he murmured, still glaring. "Anytime bro." Mikey replied, eyes glued to the screen. "RAY! FUCK OFF I WAS DOING WELL UP TIL NOW!" I shouted as Ray killed me. "They're ganging up on us aren't they?" Gee pouted. I swear he looks so fucking adorable when he does that! "I think so." I said. "Shall we give them a 'show'?" Gee whispered to me winking. "Fuck yeah!" I whispered back. As I think you can tell by this point, me and Gerard had given up on the game.
I climbed onto Gee's lap and leaned against his chest. Mikey glanced at us and Gee nuzzled my neck. "For fucks sake guys!" Mikey moaned turning back to the game. "What is it?" Ray asked having been snapped out of his gaming trance, he then glanced over to us. "Oh fucking hell." he said as he facepalmed himself. We giggled at them. "Can you, like, not do that in front of us? Please?" he groaned as he shot Mikey down. "Fuck!" Mikes muttered then carried on with the conversation "Yeah I'm fine with it guys, seriously! But just not, like, right in my face you know?"
"Aw! But where's the fun in that?" Gee complained.
Ray and Mikey finally gave up on the game and we watched some horror movies. During the fifth film I think it was, I wasn't really paying that much attention seeing as I was still on Gee's lap, they finally got really pissed off by our antics. "So you guys are just fucking with us then?" Ray said, rolling his eyes. "Hell yeah!" Gee yelled and I nodded. We had to just be messing around didn't we? Wait did I seriously just think that!? Fuck! I can't think like that it's just ridiculous I mean I have nothing against gays or being gay, in fact I'm 100% for it but still... "Frankie are you okay? You're staring off into space." Gee said. "Yeah I'm fine. Just tired." I said as I got off his lap and went to bed. I needed to think this over.
Author Note: sorry my updates are slow my grandparents keep deciding to take me in the caravan when I'm ready to update which means I get no internet :'( I've decided I'm gonna try writing some Frerard stuff into it sorry if it sucks I don't usually write love stuff :/ thanks for the reviews!

Johnny Depp Adopted by the Comanche Nation
Johnny Depp: actor, father and ... Comanche Indian? As of last week, yes, and it's all thanks to his role as Tonto in 'The Lone Ranger.'
Tonto is a part of the New Mexico-based Comanche Indians, and after the real-life group heard about Depp's dedication to the role, it extended an invitation for him to join their tribe.

The Boeing bargaining unit of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) has set a date of February 4 for sending strike ballots to its members, union director Ray Goforth told AIN last Wednesday. Members of the Bargaining Unit Council (BUC), consisting of all the company's "relevant" shop stewards, reached the decision on Tuesday night, during a meeting in which the council agreed to support the negotiating team's rejection of the company's "best and final offer."
Social Security
Anticipating several more years of suppressed demand for private aviation, NetJets Europe is seeking further voluntary redundancies from its pilot workforce. The fractional ownership and jet card provider is in consultation with its flight crews in the hope of avoiding compulsory layoffs, with some of the temporary payroll reduction measures it took in 2009 set to expire by the end of next year.
Despite the outward appearance of growth with the recent announcement about the addition of Bombardier Global 6000s to its fleet, NetJets Europe is seeking further voluntary redundancies from its pilot workforce in response to prolonged softening in demand for fractional shares and jet cards, the company confirmed. It has begun a consultation process with flight crews, repeating an exercise that it embarked on three years ago at the height of the financial crisis.
What with anthrax scares shutting down congressional office buildings for purification and cleansing, and both houses tossing brickbats at each other over precautionary measures, legislators scrambled for space and time to maintain some semblance of normalcy. Some 10 government agency appropriations bills stalled and were not enacted to start the new fiscal year on October 1.
To help prevent "identity theft," the FAA is urging pilots who hold an airman certificate that uses their Social Security number (SSN) as their certificate number to change it to a unique number.
A hearing held today by the House transportation and infrastructure subcommittee on aviation sought to examine ways to reduce the level of falsifications and omissions on FAA medical applications.
Some 43 pilots in Northern California charged with making false statements on their applications for medical certifications entered plea agreements. But one went to trial and lost. Michael Pennington, a former chief pilot and maintenance director for Mountain Life Flight, an air ambulance service, was found guilty.
In his State of the Union message to Congress, President Bush laid out the broad and ambitious objectives and goals the administration hopes to achieve during his second term. Topping the list was social security reform, for which the President sketched out options but acknowledged that it would be up to Congress to thrash out the details of any proposed legislation.
• Before Congress took a couple of weeks off beginning on March 20, there were 687 bills introduced in the Senate and 1,454 in the House of Representatives. The pace may prove to be record-setting. During the recess, however, legislators took time to concern themselves with the use of steroids by baseball players and the Theresa Schiavo case in Florida.
Some flight departments employ independent contractors as a way to keep their costs in check. However, with the IRS taking a new interest in the "independent contractor classification," companies might want to take a closer look at this plan and its tax and liability implications.

We don't know much in the way of pegging design sketches for future vehicles, but with persistent rumors of a new Porsche 928 in the horizon, a lot of people are becoming more and more inclined to believe that this sketch drawing - that can be found on the Porsche Consulting website - may be more than just a website design, but, in fact, a future vehicle that Porsche already has baking in the oven.
Unfortunately, we hate to be the bearer of bad news because this sketch is nothing more than just one of hundreds, maybe even thousands, of sketch designs to come out of Stuttgart. And just because they're sketches, it doesn't mean that Porsche is cooking up something that none of us know about, but hey, there's no crime in day dreaming, right?
The classic 928 was powered by a 4.5 liter 16-valve V8 engine that delivered a total of 345 HP. This was just enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 171 mph. The "new" 928 will feature the same drive-train layout. If we were to believe this was the "new 928" then we would anticipate the two cars would share more than 60% of their components, including engines, transmission, and suspension with a possible debut in 2012.
Of course, we don't think this is the new 928 and if you think that there's more to this sketch than meets the eye, then more power to you. But until somebody from Stuttgart offers us any sort of hint on a possible future model that's based on this drawing, we're going to err on the side of prudence and caution and call this what it really is: a drawing and nothing more than that.

Suede Driving Jacket 1 1
Terrific Lightweight Jacket This jacket wears well and is very comfortable ... I've been impressed by the durability of the suede finish. The pockets are plentiful - the snap front pockets are particularly handy - and the fit is slightly on the generous side, which is how a driving jacket should fit. At the clearance price, this is a good buy. I plan to take mine to Europe over the summer; I'll be interested to see how it fares in more diverse climates. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase.

Sydney, Australia
We had a work outing to see The Lion King at the theatre a few weeks back, and I decided I needed to wear a lion dress for it. I scoured Spotlight for some lion fabric, which I finally found buried in a pile of quilting cotton. It's not at all my usual sort of colours, but I absolutely love it.
It's yet another Simplictiy 2180, again with a different skirt. I really do love this pattern, and it's tempting to make it in every fabric in my stash.

11 October 2013
Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd
11 October 2013
Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd ('R&Q' or the 'Group') is pleased to announce that it has acquired the entire issued share capital of Flagstone Alliance Insurance and Reinsurance LTD ('FAIR'), a Cyprus domiciled insurer and reinsurer, from the Validus Group.
FAIR, which commenced underwriting in 2000, went into run-off in 2010 and comprises primarily international reinsurance business with net reserves of c.$16.4m equivalent as at 30 June, 2013 (the date of the latest available unaudited accounts). The consideration payable by R&Q in cash from existing resources is c. $24.1m, a discount to the estimated adjusted net asset value of c. $28.1m.
The business will be managed by R&Q Insurance Services Ltd. and all of the assets of FAIR will be held in UK based bank and custodian accounts other than very nominal balances held to pay local expenses.

Penn State vs Iowa Preview
Posted by Joe Chuba on 09/27 at 11:26 AM
Steve Jones reviews Penn State's win over Temple and previews the Nittany Lion's Big Ten opener vs. Iowa.
Temple was an outstanding test Saturday and one I'm glad the Nittany Lions had before starting Big Ten play. They had to battle for four quarters against a well prepared, highly motivated team. In the end the defense shutout Temple over the final three quarters, special teams did their job and in the clutch the offense put together a 96 yard drive… their longest in 7 years… to put the game away.
Evan Royster has been a focal point for criticism but he never let it affect him. He did come to camp at 228 pounds but has now cut back to 212. He almost got to 212 on the ground Saturday with a career high 187 yards on 26 carries. Rob Bolden did enough with 223 yards passing and no interceptions. Of course the red zone yielded only one touchdown and that needs to change.
The defense got takeaways. The four takeaways by this defense were impressive as they dialed up the aggressiveness and played faster. You could tell they knew what they were seeing right away and never guessed.
The Lou Eliades injury at right tackle is a tough one. He had really grown as a player over the years and was so dependable over there. Now Chima Okoli needs to step up right away, two quality Iowa defensive ends are waiting for him.
Iowa is 3-1 on the season including what had to be a maddening loss to Arizona. Arizona ran an interception back for a touchdown… a kickoff back for a touchdown… blocked a punt to set up another score…and then missed an extra point that would have given them the lead. That is all counter to what Iowa does best.
Iowa is a veteran team that features 26 seniors. "Captain Comeback" Ricky Stanzi is the quarterback. He has hit 67% of his passes with nine touchdown passes and just one interception… of course that one Arizona ran back for a score. Darrell Johnson-Koulianos and Marvin McNutt are his top targets on the outside. Iowa averages nearly 15 yards per completion.
They have been hit hard at tailback. Adam Robinson has been steady all season with 385 yards and six touchdowns. But…Brandon Weager has not played, Jewel Hampton tore his ACL, Paki O'Meara is also out. Brad Rogers and Marcus Coker have stepped in as the backups and both players have great potential.
Iowa has a strong defense but they don't have the veteran presence at linebacker as they did last season. Up front they are as strong as anyone in the nation. Adrian Clayborn and Broderick Binns are among the better defensive end combinations in the country although they don't have a sack yet. Karl Klug is very strong in the middle of that line. Jeremiha Hunter is a playmaker at linebacker. Tyler Sash and Brett Greenwood are a strong duo at the safety spots.
Ryan Donohue is one the better punters in the country. Last season in Beaver Stadium he was a difference maker. Michael Meyer has taken over as the placekicker. He has attempted only two field goals this season and made one. But he obviously has a strong leg because he has eight touchbacks out of his 25 kickoffs.
Penn State has led Iowa in the fourth quarter in each of the last three meetings but won only once. Now they need to finish drives and finish the job.
Penn State is 7-10 in Big Ten openers
They are 0-2 in Big Ten openers vs. Iowa
Then Nittany Lions are 1-4 against Iowa in their last 5 meetings
The lone win coming in 2007 at Beaver Stadium
The last time Penn State won in Iowa City was 1999 (31-7)

Is now the time to buy that vacation condo?
Prices in resort areas may have hit their bottom, but getting the right investment property without getting hurt takes planning and savvy.
Q: I want to buy a vacation condo and rent it out as an investment. What are the pros and cons? I want to start small and buy with cash. Is this the time to do it?
— Judy B.
A: Dear Judy,
Rock-bottom pricing in many resort areas suggests that this is a pretty good time to buy vacation condos. Asking prices in some South Florida markets are 60% lower than they were in 2005 and 2006.
But — and yes, there's always one of those in real-estate investment — many sellers are coming out of the woodwork now. Couple that with high unemployment rates, and it may suggest a stalled recovery, the much-feared double-dip recession or both.
An all-cash offer always wields more negotiating clout and allows you to forgo the iffy mortgage-approval process. But it also ties up your assets.
There are other drawbacks to an all-cash deal. In a worst-case scenario, you may be forced to sell at a big equity loss. In other words, if your "cash condo" were to lose significant value, you'd have no one with whom to share the risk.
What's more, you can get a tax deduction on the mortgage interest on the condo. But there's no deduction if you pay in cash and don't have a mortgage.
- Bing: Tips for first-time vacation-home buyers
- Video: Want a cheap vacation? Swap homes
- On our blog, 'Listed': It's the perfect time to buy your dream home
If you do decide to pay in cash, take precautions. For example, you won't need an appraisal if you buy in cash, but you should get one anyway to determine the unit's current value.
Also, ask the condo association for proof of funds to see if there are adequate reserves to handle maintenance issues. Determine if many foreclosures in the community might further compromise operating funds.
Slide show: 2010 MSN Real Estate Most Livable Bargain Markets
You say you want to start out small, but you'll probably want to buy a condo with at least two bedrooms to accommodate vacationing families. You should also determine if you want to rent out the place weekly or monthly. Some condo communities frown on transient visitors and may impose fees and restrictions on rental owners.
A good rule of thumb in destination areas is that you'll need to rent out the place for four to five months annually to break even. That's based on an assumption that one week's rent in a modest condo during peak seasons will be roughly equivalent to a monthly mortgage payment. Even if you do pay cash, a little quick math should give you that sum.
- MSN Money: Make your vacation home pay for itself
Becoming a landlord is not the sort of thing you enter lightly. You must study how to manage, maintain, furnish, promote, lease, price and secure the place. Fortunately, plenty of resource material is available from folks who've learned the hard way.
Slide show: Charming beach cottage is secretly green
Among the better books on the subject are "How to Make Your Vacation Property Work for You!" by Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner and "How to Rent Vacation Properties By Owner" by Christine Hrib Karpinski.
Websites such as LandlordAssociation.org and MrLandlord.com can serve up additional food for thought. As for marketing, I suggest posting for-rent property on at least three websites.
If you live close enough to your investment condo to look after it, you could do without a property manager, whose fees can cut into your income stream by anywhere from 15% to 50%. Interviewing and securing reliable and reasonably priced repair contractors well in advance will make that job easier for you when something goes wrong.
As for location, beach resorts are investors' most frequent targets. But you might also consider mountain and lake resorts in noncoastal areas that have been performing well.

# STUDENTS /// The loss of architecture Or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the cyborg by Martin Byrne
The loss of architecture or how I stopped worrying and started to love the cyborg is another brilliant project from Vito Acconci's grad studio at Pratt (see previous post). It has been designed by Martin Byrne in the frame of a research of the hybridization of the human body with products of technology. The project dramatizes a high tech laboratory on Mars which has been desinstitutionnalized over time and then cannibalized in a rough way by small groups of people kind to have their bodies embracing technology.
Here is a short text link to the project:
\\__] transmission received [.
\\After significant research, the Collective for Martian Recovery, has the following to report_]
\\in the early stages of the 21st Century, the now defunct Rosen Foundation (see attached dossier) had developed a highly controversial process by which humans could actively control their evolution. ]]..1001.110.1100
\\the occupants of Mars Colony Spirit_21x-4 were among the first to experiment with these developments. once the foundation's endowment vanished, the building and its products were left to their own devices.
\\at first the facility was simply used to capacity, but quickly went well beyond capacity. Additional production robots were compressed so tightly and with such density within the facility that the shell of the production room could not hold, and has buckled at the robotic platform mountings.
\\it swings loosely from the carbon fiber structure as the building flexes around the user that is being passed from one mechanical hand to another.

\\not long after this development, the facility's stock of parts was depleted. in order to meet overwhelming demands, new harvesting spaces had to be created, one for each raw material needed; flesh and metal.
\\the technological harvesting digested material from the colony's junkyard, while biological harvesting processed its material from the colony's graveyard.
\\we have found these colonists in an unfortunate, yet fascinating, condition. In the name of science, we recommend maintaining an analytical distance before engagement.

You open up your heart
Paying attention to her every need
Say you'll be there forever
But she doesn't feel the same
You know your the best for her
Diffrent from other guys
You'll never lie cheat or play her
But she doesn't feel the same
She's always on your mind
Smart and beauty divine
Everything about her is so fine
But she doesn't feel the same
She breaks your heart with every kiss
She gives to her fake man
YOU KNOW that you're better
But she doesn't feel the same
What do you do when you have that kind of love
When her beauty is like an angel from above
When you want to love her and take care of her
But she doesn't feel the same

Cold Temperatures Wreak Havoc on Automobiles
By Jason Lamb
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – From dead car batteries to frozen fuel lines, the bitterly cold temps have wreaked havoc on drivers across middle Tennessee whose cars weren't quite ready for this arctic blast.
Roadside assistance crews were slammed with calls that started coming in as soon as people tried to turn on their cars Monday morning.
That's when they discovered their car needed a jumpstart, or a new car battery altogether.
Nashville Roadside Assistance is a private company that helps drivers with car problems. Folks there say even the common, everyday problems like flat tires are harder to deal with in the cold.
Monday and Tuesday, roadside assistance companies say they expect to be running non-stop until warmer weather kicks back in.
"We just kind of keep busy especially with weather like this, it's pretty much in high demand in this type of weather," said Chad Cherry with Nashville Roadside Assistance.
A word of caution to Nashville drivers: when it comes to your car battery age counts. If your battery is over 4 years old then be on the look out for trouble if it sits out in the cold too long.

Based on the famous engraving by Ghiorgio Ghisi
It's fascinating to observe how in those days composers used eachother's themes and visual artists used eachother's compositions and ideas. Bruegel's elder son Pieter II took over his father's studio and kept on recreating the thems his father was famous for. Perhaps with lesser talent, but no-one can doubt his talent for story-telling.
Nowadays, everything has to be original. And I sometimes wonder to what extend this I-me-mine defineability is inspired by copyrights and blatant shake your money-maker commercialism…
Art as a means to growth and evolution is *not* about doing things differently or leaving something behind and replacing it by something new, but about adding to personal experience and growth. It's not about following a path, but about adding year-rings, like a tree.

In what is going around as a MW2 inspired event, Microsoft has banned over a million Xbox Live users who have been using modded consoles online. Word has it that MW2 appeared as a torrent before the official launch and that IW and Activision had been pressuring MS to do something about it.
And they did. Having never really wanted a modded Xbox 360 I can't imagine how all these people feel not being able to get there game on online. What I did hear at the GameCrazy midnight launch was that only the actual modded Xbox 360′s are banned and not the the user's account, therein meaning you could get a new Xbox 360 and be ok getting back online using your current account.

Not even a month of the regular season has passed by but it's already given us enough to base a prediction on how things could fallout for a few NBA teams around the league.
Some of the teams are concerned over how things are falling apart from the original plan, while a few disappointing teams should be concerned how these early failures could span out into the season.
Following is the list of teams who should be hitting the panic button, now that we've got a sample of their action this season. However, the list isn't based on their failures, but how their efforts are inadequate to meet expectations early season expectations:
Chicago Bulls
If the Chicago Bulls (6-6) were onto the ninth-seed with Derrick Rose leading the offense, they can certainly be expected to stir up something this season. However, considering the Chicago Bulls played most of the season without their centerpiece, things haven't fallen to the extreme.
And just to prove the impact of Derrick Rose on the active list, the Chicago Bulls went 92-93 in a close loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Monday. It's better than their last four losses where the Chicago Bulls lost by double digits. However, the win could have placed the Chicago Bulls at the top of the Central Division.
While the Chicago Bulls still shouldn't hit the panic button with all the zeal of 4-year-old woken in sleep with recollections of a previous scary bedtime story. Although it may be a cause of concern that the Chicago Bulls broke a three-game losing streak with Tom Thibodeau leading the team and also lost four-of-six games under him.
Still more importantly, the Chicago Bulls gave struggled in the fourth quarter during five of their six losses – and they were clearly outscored in the fourth quarter during four of those loses.
Lastly, the Chicago Bulls desperately need a "go-to" guy in case of a long-term Derrick Rose's absence again.
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards are unwatchable this season. The team slumped to a 12 game losing streak and winless record this season after their 118-92 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs Monday night.
And it's only going to get tougher down the stretch. The way they are going, the Washington Wizards could lose in their next six games as well, as they brace to face the worst opponent in the series, the Portland Trail Blazers, who are just half a game short of a .500 winning percentage. The rest of the teams are presently above the mark.
The Washington Wizards might not see their next winnable game until early-to-mid December when they face the New Orleans Hornets. But if they lose to the New Orleans Hornets, the Washington Wizards could be onto the worst losing streak in the NBA tying with the 2009-10 record of New Jersey Nets record.
To top it the Washington Wizards are understandably in bad spirits. But they are far past hitting the panic button, as rookie Bradley Beal acknowledged the teams' been surrounded by depression lately.
Everybody hates losing. You just see the guys faces, it's like depression. We haven't won a game yet. We still have [71] more games. It's still a long season," said Bradley Beal before adding some optimism. We still have our opportunity to get over .500."
Maybe the Washington Wizards should start by building a happier locker room.

Last weekend's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was full of high profile talent. From Kendrick Lamar to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to Paul McCartney to comedian Bob Saget, the lineup was stacked.
Also appearing at the festival were rap icons, the Wu-Tang Clan.
As any fan of Wu knows, seeing a show with the entire Clan lineup is pretty impressive but even with that, the Killa Bees couldn't upstage "Holly", who was the ASL interpreter during a few show sets – one of which just happened to be for the Wu.
We don't know the last name of Miss Holly, but what we do know? She likes to get her boogie on.
Assisting Wu-Tang in their set, the ASL interpreter really should have taken a spot on stage because she was rockin' harder than any member of the Clan. I'm not even sure the Statan Island boys noticed Holly getting her groove on, but we sure did.
Holly also helped out R. Kelly, which while not as awesome as the Wu set, it was still pretty epic.

The Killer in Your Medicine Cabinet?
Pediatrician Gwenn O'Keefe offers tips on protecting kids from taking too much.
A recent news report in Oregon revealed that kids are purposely overdosing on Benadryl, using up to five times the recommended dosage to get high. And in a separate incident in Oklahoma, a college student died after overdosing on Tylenol while treating severe pain from a toothache.
In light of these alarming events, Momâ¢Logic asked pediatrician Dr. Gwenn O'Keefe to offer advice on how we can protect our kids from the dangers associated with over-the-counter medication.
Momâ¢Logic: What are the dangers associated with a Tylenol overdose?
Dr. Gwenn: The Tylenol overdose story is very worrisome because Tylenol overdoses can be very, very serious. In the case cited, the student was taking up to nine Tylenol a day for several weeks. The liver toxicity Tylenol can cause is outstanding and has to be handled very promptly with an antidote. People, including kids, can go into liver failure from Tylenol. If used correctly, however, that won't happen.
MomLogic: How do we protect our kids from overdosing when we're not with them?
Dr. Gwenn: As kids become independent with medications, parents should work with kids to develop a check-in system to help those kids learn how and when to take those medications. My kids have issues with headaches--they are 10 and 13. They are fairly savvy with knowing when they need to take Advil and their dose, but they have trouble with the next step: "When can I take it again?" So, we've developed a "if you need it, tell us before you take it" strategy. They can go get the medication and take it, but we are in the loop.
