Open Document Foundation Gives Up
The Open Document Foundation whose self-declared aim was to promote the Open Document Format has closed down.
The Internet page ran a message saying "The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. is closed. We sincerely wish our friends and associates in the OpenDocument Community all the best and much success going forward. Good-bye and good luck." for a short while, before closing down completely.
Two weeks ago, the Open Document Foundation made a stir by proposing the Compound Document Format (CDF) as an alternative to the Open Document Format (ODF) and contacting the W3C committee to gain support for CDF. The reasons for the move to CDF was improved compatibility with Microsoft's OOXML format the foundation claimed at the time. Cris Lilley from W3C contradicted. CDF is not an office format, and thus not an alternative to the Open Document Format. This turn-down is likely the reason for the abrupt ditching of the foundation.
The closure is unlikely to have any impact on propagating the Open Document Format, which was specified by OASIS, accepted as an international standard, ISO/IEC 26300, in 2006, and which has now been adopted by many major corporations such as IBM and Sun.

"Laughing Gull Hosts the Beach Party" (SOLD)
(12" x 48'') on display at Gallery 202 in Franklin, TN until Monday, August 4th
When I was a little girl, my grandfather taught me how to identify the plants on our walks in the woods. My mother's childlike joy in even the simplest things taught me to be visually aware. From my dad I received my love for birds.
My childhood delight for appreciating the little things turned into a degree in art. From there it was off to work as a graphic artist, and then years of designing dolls and painting hundreds of murals in New York as my husband and I raised a family. Most of the murals I painted featured birds, insects, animals, grasses, and wildflowers. Painting murals gave me an opportunity to display the images I loved as a child.
Shortly after moving to Tennessee, I went for a walk and thought, "If birds could build nests, then they could make hats." This whimsical notion has been the inspiration for many bird and animal portraits.
Although I paint on canvas now instead of walls and ceilings, my goal has not changed. I want my work to evoke feelings of peace, joy, and often humor. If I can move someone with my art, then I have achieved my ultimate aim: to serve.

|Immunogold labeling for two or more
This is the favorite electron microscopic immunolabeling
protocol in the laboratory of Dr. G. V Childs at the University of Texas Medical Branch . The purpose of this
protocol is to allow labeling for two (or more) antigens with sensitive, small protein-A conjugated immunogold markers .
This protocol will illustrate our technique for labeling luteinizing hormone (LH),
follicle stimulating hormone antigens (FSH) or GH antigens in pituitary cells. In the
Figure, the large gold marks sites of FSH antigens in the smaller storage granules. The
small gold marks the site of GH antigens scattered in the largest storage granule on the
left. This cell is storing both GH and FSH antigens. For more information about the
multipotential somatogonadotrope, see the web page on Growth hormone and
gonadotropin co-expression just before ovulation.

What Would A Devils Stadium Series Alumni Roster Look Like?
I know we are still a month and a half away, but I keep thinking about the Stadium Series game. Maybe it was the debut of the Islanders jersey last week or the unveiling of the Ducks and Kings jerseys this week. With each colder day I think more and more about what the week leading up to January 26th will be like.
One of the questions I have is, what is the team going to wear? I figured given the logo that was released, it is going to be a retro jersey. I know they are the home team but I was hoping they dust off the old white jersey. I figured that would give the Rangers a chance to wear a dark jersey against NJ and a white jersey against the Islanders who debuted their blue jersey last week. Seems to make sense in my mind.
Another thing that has me wondering is if they will play an alumni game. Rumor has it that preparations will begin the day after the Pinstripe Bowl. This would give the NHL ice gurus plenty of time to get the rink up and ready for whatever festivities they would like. It might be hard to ask the Rangers alumni to play two games (one versus Devils alumni and one against Islanders alumni) so why not a Metro area alumni games? Mix the three teams superstars of yester year and do it pick-up game style. Take players from all three teams, put their stick in a pile at center ice and start separating them to form the teams. Or maybe have two captains (Messier and Stevens??) pick the teams.
I have been thinking and thinking about what a Devils alumni team roster look like. With the assistance of Wikipedia, I have come up with, what I believe, would be the roster. Keep in mind, active players are, of course, off limits. Also, age of the player, length of service with the team, and organization cross-over (Devils/Rangers) played a little part in my selections:
LW Kirk Muller – C John Madden – RW Claude Lemieux
LW Aaron Broten – C Jason Arnott – RW Bill Guerin
LW Jay Pandolfo – C Sergei Brylin – RW Stephane Richer
LW Mike Peluso – C Bobby Holik – RW Randy McKay
Scott Stevens – Scott Niedermayer
Ken Daneyko – Slava Fetisov
Brian Rafalski – Bruce Driver
Goalies (1 for each period):
Chris Terreri
Chico Resch
Sean Burke
Other options: Neil Broten (C), Jim Dowd (C), John MacLean (C), Joe Nieuwendyk (C), Brian Rolston (C), Patrik Sundstrom (C), Dave Andreychuk (LW), Brenden Shanahan (LW), Valeri Zelepukin (LW), Doug Brown (RW), Jeff Friesen (RW), Jamie Langenbrunner (RW), Alex Mogilny(RW), Petr Sykora (RW), Shawn Chambers (D), Randy Velischek (D), Kevin Weekes (G)
I guess it may be obvious that I became a fan in 1992-93 as this list is heavy on players from that year on.
However, in reviewing the list of players, there weren't that many players from the teams earlier years that more than 100 games of service with the team. A few drew my interest but I figured they might be a little too old to.
I know this list is going to come under heavy scrutiny, as all lists like this tend to. Don't worry about me, I am ready for it, heck, I even encourage it. I think it would be a great conversation to have. So, let me hear it. Who did I miss? Who is on that shouldn't be and who should take their place?

Like the list — only 2 others I would have also included who you didn't — Peter Stastny. And for nostalgia sake, Joe Cirella.
Chris Says:
December 10th, 2013 at 8:19 am
I guarantee you Grant Marshall and Jim Dowd would be playing since they're part of the Devils Alumni team that attend all events.
StevenWoj Says:
December 10th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
Yeah, I was going to automatically put anyone who is on the Alumni group that makes appearances on the team but I figured I would go on merit instead. Those players are great ambasadors of the organization, but they might fall just short of being on this list.
As for Stasny and Cirella, a little before my time but I could see a case being made for both of them. Was Stasny a strong player when he came to the Devils? I know he was on the downside of his career. Not sure if he was still productive or an aging star just hanging on.
DyHrdMET Says:
December 10th, 2013 at 8:57 pm
Active coaches would probably also be off limits. No MacLean. No Muller. No Brylin. No Terreri. No Stevens. No Niedermayer. I'm sure there's others. Lemaire would be the coach of the Alumni team. Moose Hedberg is available to play goal.
Kevin Canessa Says:
December 12th, 2013 at 2:15 pm
Steven — Stastny was older when he came, but he had a couple pretty decent years. He had 60, 62, and 40 points in his three seasons with the team. Left after the 1992-93 season, so he just missed the start of the glory years. Cirella was generally, well, horrid. But he could easily be a poster child for the original Devils.

Let me handle your criminal or traffic case in Orange County.
We will provide a high quality of service because we are committed to thorough and passionate representation for our clients. You can review our
notable case results
We will defend your case like you are our brother or sister. If someone in our family was being charged with a crime, we would do everything within our power to get the absolute best results possible!
Knowledge and familiarity of local courts and aggressive representation translates into better results for you!
This way we can concentrate on familiarizing ourselves with the various people that work in the court where your case is located. There are 7 major courts in Orange County that handle criminal cases and traffic matters:
We know there are many choices when it comes to hiring an attorney. You need to know what can happen, what our strategy is, and what our plan of attack will be. What defenses are available to you? How can you help in your own defense?
We'll start by employing you to help inform us what happened. What do you remember about the incident? We'll start by having you prepare for us a list of witnesses that could be called to testify if needed. These may include percipient witnesses that actually heard or saw, or observed the incident. This also includes character witnesses that know you personally and could vouch for your good character.
We would then have you prepare for us a statement of the case. This is a statement of the facts of the incident as you remember them. The police will prepare a report as soon after the arrest or contact as they can get back to the station to start writing. You should do the same. This way we can compare the police report to your own memory of events. Do you think the police report is going to include any exculpatory information that could lead a jury to find that you didn't commit the alleged acts? Only your recollection may provide the full picture of what happened, and give me leads or where we can go to get other evidence as to what happened.
On many cases, we can appear for you and you may never have to appear in court. This allows you to avoid the humiliation of coming and standing before the judge, in addition to the time sitting around waiting for the court to call your case.
We will listen to you and help you work through this difficult time.
We want to help you get past this period and move on with your life while not having to suffer from irreparable harm to your current and future employment and career plans. We know you don't need to sit in jail if you are charged with a minor offense. And if you are facing serious charges, don't expect to serve a long jail sentence automatically. If you don't let us try to fight for you, you may face a lengthy incarceration period.

Maybe you reported on this but I missed it: From the looks of a series of quests I stumbled on in Wowwiki, Undercity will no longer be under horde control in wrath: http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Battle_For_The_Undercity_(Horde)
Does anyone have some more details on this? Is it only temporary?
Temporary, I don't want to spoil any more, but it's a fun deal.
Also, the OP missed a cinematic I ran into - involves allies and horde together facing the Lich King near the Kor'Kron Vanguard, and permanently changes what that place looks like for you as a player.
No more spoilers, tho. :) Except to say it was pretty damn cool.

Current Articles
RSS Feed
A couple of weeks ago, BusinessWeek ran an article on Apple's supply chain. The article describes the high level of involvement that Steve Jobs had in supply chain decisions and makes the case that Apple's investment in supply chain operations is a significant competitive differentiator. Apple is frequently in the news, especially in the weeks since Steve Jobs passed away last month. What makes this article so interesting to me, however, is that it represents an increased interest in supply chain considerations in mainstream media. When I first started in this industry, not many people outside of the industry had an interest in supply chain. Lately, more and more people are showing an understanding of how the supply chain impacts businesses and consumers.
Home Depot reported strong earnings earlier this week. In the Wall Street Journal's coverage of the earnings announcement, supply chain investments and improvements were the headline. Changes in the way the company handles product flows have created so much value for Home Depot that this was the primary focus of the CFO's comments during his discussion of the results.
Another article was published this week focused on supply chain challenges that Dell is likely to face over the next couple of quarters. The current supply problems with hard drives resulting from the floods in Thailand will likely have a negative impact not just on Dell, but on other PC manufacturers as well.
As a supply chain professional, it's nice to see so much interest in this part of the economy. In the next few days, as millions of Americans head to retail stores to take advantage of Black Friday sales, hopefully a significant percentage of them will consider how those products got there.

The location of our apartment was great other than being on a tram route which made it quite noisy with the windows open but, closed there was no problem other than it got a bit warm. The fan took care of that. The bedroom is very small but, we really didn't care. We were there to explore the city. The furniture in the living area was a negative for us. After spending hours walking around we wanted to be able to "crash" and were not able to get comfortable on these little seats. As a warning…the stairs into the apartment are STEEP! It was difficult getting our luggage up and down but, daily we got used to it. All in all the apartment worked for us because it was a lot cheaper than staying in a comparable apartment. Yvone (owner) was a sweet heart and was there to welcome us and give us some insight into the area with a map and restaurant recommendations. She made it clear she was available if we needed anything. She even called our taxi driver to confirm he would be picking us up.

It is a very nice apartment in an old building so full of character, the leaving area bigger than I expected. Loved the windows- the apartment was light and bright even when it rained, but double glazing provided good soundproofing from the street noise. Liked real wooden floors, bathroom all tiled and very clean. Very friendly owner. I would highly recommend this apartment !

Lovely apartment, spacious, bright everything you could possibly want - fantastic location and friendly, helpful owners. Would highly recommend this and would stay on any future trips to Amsterdam. One recommendation is to take smaller bags, the stairs are typically dutch and VERY steep.

The apartment was located in an ideal position within easy walking distance to attractions, a tram stop outside and the railway station close by. The apartment had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The staircase did present a slight challenge because of its steepness. Small drawbacks were the lack of space in the bedroom with the beds being right up against the walls and no hair dryer provided.

Dear guests, We are very pleased to hear that u enjoyed THE Apartment and your stay in Amsterdam. We are sorry you did not ask us About the hairdryer because we have a beautiful one in the cupboard of the apartment. Also, the first floor apartment has two bedrooms, one small cozy separated bedroom to sleep in or you have the choice to sleep in the large ensuite living of 40 pm2. The small bedroom is usually used as an extra room for families. The large ensuite living also has two high quality box spring beds available with sheets. Or, should you come again, you can also stay in our 2nd floor apartment which is more of a large suite. We hope to see you again in Amsterdam!! Best regards, Christa and yvon

I stayed in this delightful appartment whist in Amsterdam on business. It is very comfortably furnished with everything you could wish including tea and coffee. There is a lively bar downstairs and a bakery next door so no need to travel too far. However it is very convieniently located for Central Station and Dam square. Yvon one of the owners was very helpful and gave a warm welcome. Tony.

This apartment is located in the heart of Amsterdam, within 5-minute walk from Dam square. Supermarket and variety of restaurants is located on the street passing by. However, it is as quiet as it could be in Amsterdam at night. This apart gives you possibility to live in of those picturesque old houses with a full view of Nieuwezijdsvoorburgwal Street. The owners live in the same house and provide full friendly support The value for such central and spacy place is outstanding We with my parents were very satisfied and happy with this Aprtment.

Cosy and homely apartment in the center of Amsterdam! Yvon and Christa do everything to make you feel at home. We did not feel like we were staying in a busy capital. If you wish, they also have good information about where you can eat. The 9 streets, Chinatown, and the Haarlemmerstraat we found very nice for shopping. It is something different than the usual big stores that you see everywhere. The tip of yvon to rent bikes we could appreciate. You can see a lot in a short time without blisters under your feet. I can definitely recommend it. Mart, Vana and our son Kris

We were only able to stay one night at La Vie en Rose B&B, but will definitely return when visiting Amsterdam. After a stressful drive through the city to return our rental car, we were greeted with such warmth and friendliness that we were raring to set out again to explore the city. The apartment was perfect for our needs - it was like staying at a friend's house. At the airport the next morning, my daughter discovered she had left her phone behind in the room. Her flight was boarding (my flight was leaving a few hours later) and I told her I'd ask Yvon and Christa to ship it to her in New York. Yvon actually met me at the airport - almost incurring a $200 euro parking ticket - and returned it to me. I can't imagine any other hotel or B&B doing that. What wonderful people!

Dear Mindy, I am glad everything worked out perfectly and glad we could help! we are glad to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us...and its been à real pleasure having you as our guests! We surely hope to See you again! Warm regards, Christa and Yvon

The nanny who allegedly killed two children in Manhattan has had her case suspended until a later date because her mental health examinations are not complete.
Police say Yoeslyn Ortega stabbed 6-year-old Lucia Krim and her 2-year-old brother Leo last October while their mother was out with a third child.
Ortega, who was hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds, was found with the two children in the bathroom of an Upper East Side apartment.
Ortega appeared in court for the first time on March 8 and case was adjourned until April.

Mozilla Releases Sunbird and Lightning Updates
Mozilla has just released new versions of its calendar programs Sunbird and Lightning. Version 0.8 sees both programs approaching the first final release.
While Lightning is designed as an add-on for the Thunderbird mail application, Sunbird is a stand-alone calendar application. The changelog for Lightning includes various new features, including a task preview that gives users a quick overview of outstanding tasks. An event list shows coming events and includes an event search function. The developers say that remote access to calendars is still experimental. Lightning now requires Thunderbird version 2.0; users with Thunderbird 1.5.0.x will be unable to install the updated add-on.
Sunbird includes similar new features to Lightning, such as an alarm system for appointments and events. The calendar now has improved time zone handling, and understands time zone definitions in ".ics" files. The programs for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X can be downloaded here.
The release notes do not reveal anything new in the line of groupware functionality, which most professional users rely on.

February 11, 2013, 7:54 AM — Don't let the Windows 8 haters brainswash you: Microsoft actually introduced a few great features in its new operating system, some of which will help keep you safer from malware and other security threats. Though most of these security enhancements are active by default, you still must be proactive to get the most from them. Also, one new Windows 8 feature presents specific security concerns that must be addressed to keep your PC--and your data--as safe as possible. Let's jump in and investigate.
Buy a new PC instead of upgrading
To take full advantage of Windows 8's new security features, your PC needs to run a new kind of boot system called Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). This system, which replaces the archaic Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), adds many new boot features and greatly speeds the startup process.
Included in UEFI is a feature, called Secure Boot, that helps prevent unauthorized operating systems and malware from running at startup. This makes it more difficult for data thieves to use bootable discs or flash drives to access your files; it also helps keep rootkits--a form of malware that's hard to detect--from infecting your computer during bootup.
Some PC vendors included UEFI on select systems in the past, but Secure Boot requires a new version, specifically UEFI revision 2.3.1. So if your system originally came with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, it likely doesn't include UEFI. And if it does include UEFI, it's probably an earlier version that doesn't support Secure Boot.
Though some PC and motherboard vendors offer upgrades to UEFI, you might want to consider buying a new PC or board that's designed for Windows 8, as such hardware must include UEFI and have Secure Boot enabled by default.
If you're technically inclined, however, you can double-check an older PC's UEFI compatibility before you run out and buy a new system. First, try pressing the traditional BIOS or setup key (such as F2 or Delete) during booting just after you turn on the system. There, you can find your BIOS or UEFI version.
From Windows, you can type msinfo32 in the Start menu search field or the Run prompt to find the BIOS version. If it appears you have a traditional BIOS, you could check with the system or motherboard vendor to see if it's offering upgrades to UEFI. And if the UEFI version you have is older than 2.3.1, see if there are any updates for your PC.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Hundreds got a chance to ditch their old electronics for free.
Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful and Atlanta Recycling Solutions partnered to allow citizens to drop off old Televisions, Computers, printers and even microwaves.
The company said they received an estimated 700 items that, instead of ending up in a landfill, will now be recycled.
"Everything here gets torn down and recycled so the glass goes back to glass, plastic to plastic, steal to steal, we're a zero landfill company so nothing goes into the landfill," said David Loxsom, Atlanta Recycling Solutions.
The company travels to cities throughout Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama collecting the old electronics.
It normally costs $10 to drop off a TV. This time the city and county picked up the tab.
They plan to be back in Albany in September.

This is the same system that we use for our guild runs too. No one likes having a guildie win multiple drops in one night while someone else who could have used it for main spec gets nothing. We do have a stipulation that probably most groups have though and that is that main spec is always better than off spec regardless of how many pieces they've already won.

Renting on the Rise in Richmond (and everywhere else)Posted: June 14, 2012 | Author: CarliAmber | Filed under: Commercial Leasing, Investing, Multi-family Housing | Tags: apartments, Housing, Muiltifamily, property management, Real estate, Rent, Residential, Richmond, RVA | Leave a comment »
Have you noticed a recent spike in your monthly rent? A lot of people have, and it's a trend not only locally but in markets across the country.
According to http://news.investors.com, over the past several years homeowning has become more difficult and former homeowners are now becoming tenants in mulitifamily dwellings. Due in large part to the economic downturn, many homeowners today can no longer afford to pay a monthly mortgage and instead are resorting to the next alternative: renting apartments.
As with most news, this is a mixed bag — it's not good for renters, but it does make for a strong market for multifamily properties, supporting higher sales prices and spurring new development and redevelopment of multifamily properties. (see last week's post about local development for current examples of this happening right here in Richmond)
Across the nation, multifamily properties are leading in occupancy and rent growth when compared to commercial developments, like office space and retail properties.
In a recent housing study by commercial property brokerage firm Cassidy Turley, chief economist Kevin Thorpe said:
"I'm optimistic about the multifamily sector, certainly for the next two years…We've entered a period of sustained rent growth."
This recent boom in multiple tenants occupying apartment units is due to the fact that the average renter a year ago could afford the rent for a single family home when now the cost is too high.
Richmond seems to be following that rising rent trend, too. In 2007, the cost of a single bedroom apartment averaged $754/mo. and now the average cost is approximately $814/mo.
Have you seen this happening when your lease has come up for renewal? What do you think the renting forecast will look like in RVA for the rest of 2012?

Understanding Landlord Insurance
By: Dona DeZube
Published: September 1, 2010
Turning your home into a rental or buying an investment property? Expect to pay up to 20% more for the right insurance policy to protect your property.
Rental properties require their own type of coverage–landlord insurance, which is different than the homeowners policy you buy when you live in a house yourself. Landlord insurance protects you against losses from fire, lighting, falling trees, wind and hail, water damage, and injury to your tenants and their guests.
But it doesn't cover the renters' household goods. So encourage tenants to buy a renters policy to cover their stuff. You can even include a clause in your lease saying they have to buy renters insurance, so everyone is clear about what's insured and what's not.
Landlord insurance is expensive
You'll pay 15% to 20% more for a landlord insurance policy than you will for a homeowners policy on the same house–and even more if you offer short-term rentals. Start your policy shopping by calling the company that sold you your homeowners insurance, then check with an independent insurance agent selling commercial and business policies.
Ask how you can get discounts if you have fire prevention devices, burglar alarms, or multiple properties.
What a landlord insurance policy probably will cover:
- Lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot and civil commotion, smoke, falling objects, snow, ice, sleet, vandalism, sonic boom, sprinkler leakage, frozen pipes, water damage, burglary, volcanoes, and sinkholes.
- Things that belong to you that stay at the property, like appliances, furniture, or lawn care equipment. Keep an inventory of what's on site.
- Outbuildings, like sheds or garages, although this coverage will have its own limit (probably 10% of the overall insurance policy amount).
- Costs to defend yourself against lawsuits filed by tenants or guests, as well as the costs awarded if you lose the case. Some policies cover medical bills for injuries; some don't.
- Lost rental income if the property is damaged and you can't rent it.
What a landlord insurance policy probably won't cover:
- The tenants' belongings.
- Your rental property if it's vacant for more than 30 days. Seek an exemption in advance from your landlord insurance company as soon as you know the property is going to be vacant.
- War and nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attacks.
Optional coverage you might want to buy:
- Flood
- Earthquake
- Vandalism (if the policy you buy excludes it)
- Pool and tennis court insurance
- Liability for personal injury, wrongful eviction, wrongful entry, libel, and slander
Don't forget liability coverage
To cover yourself in case you lose a big court case filed by an injured tenant, buy anumbrella insurance policy that gives you liability protection for $1 million to $5 million or more if you have a lot of assets to protect.
Don't file a claim unless you absolutely have to
There's a limit to how many claims you can file before insurance companies start charging you more or canceling your policies. Claims can quickly add up as you buy more rental properties.
One time you always want to file a claim is when someone says they've been injured on your property. One claim you'll want to avoid filing: water damage for less than $10,000 because worries about mold growing in water-damaged properties will lead some insurers to immediately cancel your insurance policy.

Sexual orientation discrimination in housing? We won't stand for it.Posted: November 9, 2010 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Multi-family Housing, National News, Residential | Tags: apartments, GLBT, NAR, property management, Realtors | Leave a comment »
We have come a long way in the fight for civil rights in this country, and we have a lot to be proud of. Unfortunately, in many states it is still absolutely legal to discriminate against someone for their sexual orientation when it comes to housing. This needs to be addressed legally, but the Realtors aren't going to allow any of our members to get away with such practices anymore.
Read through this article at Agent Genius to see what's changed: "Is sexual orientation discrimination in housing legal? Maybe." It's great news!
According to the NAR, the Code of Ethics Article 10 has been amended:
Article 10: Equal Rights Amendment Passes:
The NAR Delegate Body approved an amendment to Article 10 of the Code of Ethics to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In a roll-call vote, more than 93 percent of the Delegate Body voted in favor of the amendment. The Delegate Body decision confirms a vote by the Board of Directors in May.
As a personal note, AG strongly supports and applauds the measure taken that Realtors' ethics supersede federal law so that no matter if it is legal or not locally, discrimination based on sexual orientation will not be tolerated from Realtors, a measure taken by Realtors.
Huzzah for the Realtor community for standing up for what's right and making an amendment to the Code of Ethics to declare sexual orientation discrimination officially unacceptable!
Today is a day when I'm even more proud than usual to call myself a Realtor.
New chapter for a Church Hill institutionPosted: March 22, 2010 | Author: Nathan Hughes | Filed under: Company News, Multi-family Housing, Residential | Tags: apartments, Bandazian & Holden, Church Hill, property management, Richmond, St. John's Realty, Virginia | 3 Comments »
St. John's Realty has been in the property management business almost as long as we have here at Bandazian & Holden. While I haven't seen a record of what year they started, I've been told that they have been doing residential property management for somewhere between 20-30 years. (FYI – B&H was founded in 1974.)
With the passing last year of the founder and principal broker owner, Danny Athans [edited 3/23/10, per information from Church Hill People's News -- link to announcement here], the future of St. John's Realty was unsure. I am proud to announce that we at Bandazian & Holden have stepped up to take over the accounts, and all of the years of hard work by St. John's Realty will not go to waste.
There are a lot of other details that will be forthcoming, but there is a lot of work that we are doing right now to get in touch with the property owners and tenants to alert them to the change, and to get all of the files in order.
We are very excited for the opportunity to serve this new group of property owners and tenants, and to expand our presence in Church Hill!

Via Mammoth…
Rather than just taking in what the MSM feeds the masses, take a train ride and talk with ordinary folks.
"For eight years we had Putin, then Medvedev, and now Putin again. Who after that: Medvedev?" Alexander Yurov. "Well, this is what they're getting from me," he says, holding up his middle finger.
[We had bush 1, then the Clintons, then bush 2, then O-Scam-ya, and they all deserve the middle-finger salute.]
Conversations with people like Yurov, who plans to vote for Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov, reveal the undercurrent of dissatisfaction across all layers of society and across Russia's varied geography. In fact, many say the elites are Putin and his cronies.
[Kitty, you mentioned detecting some dissatisfaction at the hair-cutter last week, sounds like this?]
"All that matters for the government is what's going on in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. As for the rest of the country, it can just deal with its own problems"
[All that matters with the US govt. is what's going on with Wall St. & the Banks.]
"Everybody wants stability," says businessman Andrei Khorashavin, traveling in first class. "I see Putin as the person that can guarantee that."
[Of course Big Business & 1%'ers are perfectly happy with the status quo.]
The train stop at Gus-Khrustalny, some two hours train ride east of Moscow, demonstrates that although Russia has come far under Putin, it still is a country of marginal living for many. Women employed at the city's glassware factory clamber aboard, prowling the corridors to try to sell stemware and trinkets they made in their spare time to try to supplement their wages.
[I've been there! They manufacture fine crystal in an old factory there. The workers receive part of their pay in cash and the rest of it in crystal – which they must then sell in order to convert into cash.]
In his four-berth second-class cabin, Fyodor Kolesnikov says Putin's economic management is a recipe for disaster.
"The economy has gotten better, but that is only thanks to the oil," he says.
[If you only look at the stock indexes & believe the 'cooked' employment reports, it looks like the US economy is also getting better.]
"We need somebody in this country that can take bold decisions, otherwise we are just going down the road of stagnation."
[America also needs someone who can make decisions; haven't had someone like that for a while.]
Despite all the criticism, the passengers on Train 109 agree with a degree of resignation that their next president will be Putin.
[O-Scam-ya will be re-elected, too.]
The train-riders liken the current government to a blood-sucking insect — but says any other government would probably be no better.
[Blood-sucking insect aptly describes the US govt., too.]
"The mosquitoes have had their fill," he says, "but why invite new ones just so they can take their turn at sucking our blood too."
[Better to deal with the devil you know, rather than the one that you don't know. Americans are fvcked just like the Russians are.]

Color In the Kitchen: Chinese Porcelain Blue
The blue in this House Beautiful kitchen of the month stopped us in our tracks: Gorgeous! Read on for another photo and more about this deep, deep blue kitchen.
You know we love deep blue cabinets (like this peacock blue drama from another House Beautiful kitchen) so this kitchen just made us stop and stare.
The architect told House Beautiful that the cobalt blue was found in a piece of Chinese porcelain. The dark cabinets with Carrara marble really pop, and we can only dream of when we can do something similar in a kitchen. Take a peek at the article for more photos and an enviable way to store wine.

I'm a self-proclaimed "red kitchen" person and dream about the cherry red KitchenAid stand mixer and LeCreuset....but this kitchen very well might have changed everything I know and love! My mom collected the blue Chinese porcelain when I was growing up, so the color is especially nostalgic.
I love this. Love LOVE LOVE.
Soooo beautiful.
That is a gorgeous color, it makes the whole kitchen look very cool. The stainless appliances look nice with it too.
But, uh, where are the lights? And I don't see any outlets either.
Definitely saving a picture of this for reference when I get to redecorate my kitchen.

Found December 12, 2012 on Feelin' Kinda Blue:
PLAYERS: Scott Van Slyke
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
In a somewhat surprising move, the Dodgers on Wednesday designated Scott Van Slyke for assignment to make room for the newly acquired Skip Schumaker. The Dodgers had a few options from which to choose -- Justin Sellers, John Ely, Stephen Fife and Juan Uribe -- but theey decided to ditch Van Slyke. The most obvious choice would have been Sellers, as he was coming off surgery and doesn't have much of a future in the majors. The guy the Dodgers traded to get Schumaker -- Jake Lemmerman -- probably has more of a future in the majors. But the Dodgers sure do love themselves some middle infielders. Ely and Fife would have gone because the Dodgers have eleventy-billion starting pitchers now. They're more serviceable than Sellers, but it wouldn't have been a surprise to see them go. And of course there's Uribe, but it seems the Dodgers just can't bring themselves to do the right thing. Something else to consider is the Dodgers could still trade Van...

The Cerritos College Art Gallery is pleased to present "after image: the photographic process(ed)," a group exhibition featuring thirteen local, national, and international contemporary artists working to surface the physicality of the photographic process and, by extension, the embodied nature of image viewership. Through the manipulation of photographic prints (using various non-traditional strategies, such as bleaching, cutting, folding, poking, pouring, scratching, sewing, and soaking), the exhibiting artists work to counteract naïve assumptions regarding the inherent ephemerality of technologically-based representation; erasing the over-determined idealization of the theorized image in favor of the endlessly contextual materiality of the photographic object.
The Cerritos College Art Gallery presents rotating exhibitions highlighting the work of emerging and mid-career artists. A special emphasis is placed on works that confront challenging and pressing issues in contemporary art and culture. In support of exhibitions, the Cerritos College Art Gallery also regularly hosts workshops, lectures, and performances.

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > The Power
chapter 105 Reviews
chapter 10
Chapter 10
Harry spent the rest of the summer practicing and reading. He was almost through with all of the third year material (History took a very long time, considering he would start thinking of other things while he was reading, and not retain anything), and was spending considerable time reading everything he had bought on animagi. It was a seriously complex piece of magic and would probably take a couple of years to master.
He had been corresponding with Hermione, telling her everything that had happened with Dobby, and what he had felt from Malfoy Senior at the book shop. He almost wished he hadn't though when she started worrying in all her letters.
The Weasleys, however, had other plans than allowing Harry to spend the summer by himself learning. He was invited to a Quidditch game almost every day. After they saw just how good he was on a broom, they would flip a coin to decide who should get him on their team.
He was really looking forward to returning to Hogwarts, but also dreaded it. Lockheart had, apparently, announced that he would be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year. Harry was sure he would end up putting the git into the hospital.
Finally, September first arrived. The Weasleys were not organized in the slightest, and the train was actually starting to move when Harry jumped onboard. Immediately, Harry went to look for Hermione. When he found her compartment, he cast a strong Notice-Me-Not on it while trying to make it specifically for Ron. He figured he succeeded when Ron passed right by, but his sister, Ginny, entered and sat quietly in the corner, blushing and sending glances at Harry every now and then. Hermione thought that was incredibly funny. Harry acted like he didn't notice.
It was then that Harry noticed that there was another girl in the compartment. She had dirty blond hair and big, blueish-grey eyes. He probably wouldn't have noticed her (she was sitting on the other side of Hermione from him and he couldn't see her), but she took this opportunity to state the obvious. "You're Harry Potter."
Harry put on a confused face and looked down at himself. "What do you know? I am. I'm afraid, though, I don't know who you are."
Surprisingly, it was Ginny that answered. "That's Luna Lovegood. She lives on the other side of the village from us." And she blushed and looked out the window.
"Ah, hello Luna. Are you going to be a first year, too?" asked Harry. He thought the girl was a little odd, but odd usually translates into interesting. Interesting is good.
"Yes. I am going to be in Ravenclaw." She stated it as though it were fact.
"Is that right? I thought I might be going to Ravenclaw at first, though I really had no idea which one I wanted. The hat considered putting me in Slytherin, but Draco Malfoy had already been put there, so I refused."
The three of them talked amongst themselves for a few hours, with occasional input from a meek Ginny. Hermione didn't seem to like Luna very much. It probably had a lot to do with Luna's firm conviction in the truth of everything printed in her father's magazine, The Quibbler. Harry decided that he didn't want to set her straight, even though she informed him that the reason he survived the Killing Curse as a baby was because he was already dead and just exists as a really solid ghost that apparently ages. He rather liked that theory.
Just then, Draco and his goons barged into the compartment. "Why if it isn't Harry Potty. I hear you got in trouble for using magic over the summer."
"Harry Potty? What are you, four?" Draco's smirk fell instantly into an ugly frown. Still he forced himself to calm down as he replied.
"So, plan on killing this year's Defense professor?"
"Well, I don't plan on it, but considering the professor, I may be tempted." At this, Hermione gasped and glared at Harry.
Draco laughed. "Uh-oh. Looks like you upset the mudblood." At hearing the foul slur on Hermione, Harry slashed his wand at Draco. After a second of pause, all his hair fell off, with the exception of some really short hair on the back that spelled "Ponce." He looked like he was about to cry when Harry pushed him out of the compartment and locked the door.
"Harry! How can you say that about professor Lockheart? Look at all the stuff he's done in his books! He's a hero!"
"I don't care what he's done (or says he's done), he is flipping annoying." Hermione fumed for twenty minutes after that.
As it was darkening, the four of them decided to put on their robes. As Harry was pulling it on over his muggle clothes, Luna asked, "Harry, why are you wearing a bracelet?"
Looking down, Harry noticed that he was still wearing his restricter. "Hmm, I didn't realize I was still wearing it. Oh well, I'll take it off at the next convenient opportunity." Luna did not question why this was not a convenient opportunity.
Finally, they arrived at Hogwarts. When they got out of the train, there were hundreds of carts ready to take them to the castle. Each cart was being pulled by one of the strangest creatures Harry had ever seen. They looked like winged skeleton horses. However, neither Ron nor Hermione could see them. Harry decided to ask Hagrid about them later.
Ron was initially mad at Harry and Hermione for seemingly hiding from him, until Hermione told him that they weren't hiding and that he had walked right past the compartment. She kept shooting suspicious glances at Harry.
When the Sorting finally got started, Luna was, as predicted, sorted into Ravenclaw. Ginny, to Ron's relief, was sorted into Gryffindor. Harry spent the rest of the feast nibbling on the delicious food, and talking to everyone around. He was doing his best to ignore Lockheart, who was up at the head table waving at all the young witches.
Eventually, Dumbledore stood and made a speech. Lockheart looked as though he was going to speak when Dumbledore introduced him, however, Dumbledore did not realize this and continued on immediately.
An hour later found Harry sitting in the common room reading a book on animagi. According to the book, one must find one's form in one's magic through meditation before the training can begin. Harry was reviewing the part over the meditative state once more. When he was sure he understood, he closed his eyes. After an hour of relaxation, Harry succeeded in reaching the space of his own mind and magic. He was glad he was already an occlumense; the book had said that it could take days to reach this level if he were not. He could see his own body, but nothing else. This was the area of his mind that his subconscious had dedicated to his animagus form. Once he found it, he could build this area up to resemble his animal's natural habitat. The book had said that it was inadvisable to do so before-hand as it may not suit that particular animal, and as it may be harder to find his form if it is playing in a forest or something.
So Harry spent this time to walk around his mind and search for his animagus. By morning, he still had not found it, but he had expected that. This was a large area to look in. Everywhere he looked was black, so he couldn't be sure just how far he could see. It would probably take several nights to find.
The next day, Hermione, Ron, and Harry were in the courtyard at lunchtime talking about the two classes they had had so far (actually, Hermione was doing most of the talking, but Harry was at least paying attention so as not to get yelled at) when a tiny mouse like boy showed up. "Alright Harry? I'm - I'm Colin Creevey. I'm a Gryffindor, too. D'ya think it would be alright if - can I have a picture?" 'Ah, a fan. I suppose this is to be expected, like Ginny. I was kind of hoping all my fans would be giggly girls though. Ah, well.' While he was thinking, Colin had been chattering on about everything he had heard about Harry. "And maybe, your friend could take it and I could stand next to you and later, you could sign it?"
Draco seemed to have heard that. "Signed photos! You're giving out signed photos, Potter?" Draco, in his school uniform wizarding hat (which no one ever wore because they were uncomfortable and tall), had gotten the attention of the whole courtyard. Big mistake.
"Nice hat, Draco. Bit warm though, isn't it?" Draco turned a darker red than Harry had ever seen, clutched the hat to his head with both hands, and took off running. The problem wasn't adverted, though.
"Who's giving out signed photos?" Lockheart noticed Harry. "Ah, shouldn't have asked. We meet again, Harry." Harry forced himself to appear confused.
"I'm sorry, we've met? Please excuse me, but who are you?" That worked.
"Funny. I'm your professor, Gilderoy Lockheart."
"Oh, right! Sorry professor, I'm terrible with faces. And no, I wasn't giving out signed photos. I was just about to tell Colin here that he shares a common room with me and, therefore, doesn't need a picture. Now, I'm about to be late to, well, your class, so I must be off." With that, Harry dragged Hermione away from the professor she was so attracted to. Through class, Harry was lightly probing Lockheart with Legilimency. Every time he talked about what he did in the books, Harry felt a lie. He knew that Lockheart hadn't done any of those things, but there seemed to be something deeper. It wasn't just a blatant lie; there were, after all, villages that had been saved from a werewolf and a banshee. Harry was going to figure it out.

Duck Dynasty Gets a Taste of New York City
August 16, 2013
Welcome to New York. Seems that Duck Dynasty star, Jase Robertson, was kicked out of a NYC hotel after being profiled as an urban outdoorsman. That's homeless for you PC wackos.
"The first thing that happened to me at the hotel was I got escorted out," Robertson said, joking that it was a "facial-profiling deal."
Robertson said that the hotel employee simply didn't know who he was.
"I asked where the bathroom was and he said, 'Right this way, sir.' He was very nice," Robertson explained. "He walked me outside, pointed down the road and said, 'Good luck.'"
Robertson continued, "So I circled back around and my wife said, 'What happened?' and I just said I just got kicked out."
Has anyone noticed that this famous rich white guy hasn't created any media uproar over his embarrassing incident? Hey Oprah, this guy has class. -JRoycroft
Are You Smarter Than A Wall Street Occutard?
October 21, 2011- Some of you have expressed a little concern that me, of all people, are being a bit hard on the Occutards. Some have said I've been a bit strong with the name calling. Well, someone at New York Magazine wrote an article that pretty much sums it all up. Check it out: Are you smarter than a Wall Street Occupier?
- 84% of Occupiers cannot tell you what the Dodd-Frank Act is.
- 30% of Occupiers believe that top marginal income tax rate for the top 1% is 0 to 10%. And 32% believe that tax rate to be 10 to 25%. The correct answer is 35%. But that doesn't include the Bush tax cuts that Democrats want to let expire. That would push the rate to 39.6%. And then there is this millionaires surtax. That's another 5.6%. So we are pushing a 45% federal income tax rate for the top bracket … and a third of protestors believe this rate to be ten percent or less.
- 94% of Occupiers believe that the government spends more on the military than it does on healthcare and pensions. The correct answer is that 43% of government spending is on healthcare and pensions, while defense accounts for 20% of spending.
I still maintain they're all a bunch of clueless fools. – JRoycroft
*For the record, I stole the term, "Occutard," from Neal Boortz.

Revenge Of America: Democrats Panic As Republican Takes Democrat Seat From New York
September 14, 2011- In a shocking defeat for Democrats, businessman Bob Turner (R) defeated state Assemblyman David Weprin (D) in the special election for the House seat held by former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner (D).
Things are starting to come together in the battle to recover the White House from the disgusting Obama regime. America is waking up to the reality of what this inept community organizer is doing to destroy our country.
The New York 9th District has been held by Democrats for 93 years. This was indeed a glorious win for Republicans and Americans. When you understand that Democrats in New York out number Republicans 3-1, then you realize how significant this election was. – J Roycroft
"New Yorkers put Washington Democrats on notice that voters are losing confidence in a President whose policies assault job-creators and affront Israel," said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) in a statement after Turner's win.

Summary of 2013 on the 21st of January? Shhhh. I know what you gonna say. "Marysia those kind of posts supposed to be published on the first week of January. Maximum till the tenth."
Yes. You might be right. But we all do what we want, don't we?
Ok, ok I'm being a bit naughty. I'm a rebel and I can't stop being in opposition to everything. Even if I really try! Seriously! You tell me I look good in red, I wear blue. You tell me I should lose some weight? I'm calling Krispy Kreme to schedule daily delivery hours.
Frankly I was never crazy about celebrating NYE. Of course! As a real rebel I can't just agree with world's norms and dates. But as I'm getting closer to my birthday I'm always getting more retrospective and sentimental.
'The day' is soon approaching. And yes to cut all the gossips. It is gonna be 'the scary and the terrible and the oh my god I'm so old 30th'.
Yeah, right. That actually could be my words if my name would't be Marysia.
So bring it on. Pop the champagne and don't bet on my tears!
The time has come to be honest with myself and to look back into 2013. What have I done? What have I been up to? What have I achieved, if anything?!
Lets start from travels
I'm very good at this! I always score A+ on this class. In 2013 I have visited 13 countries (some of them more than once) and 2 semi-independent territories. I flew countless times and crossed way too many borders by land and air to even bother to count.
Met tones of amazing people. Got myself into superb adventures and had time of my life.
It didn't happened without some losses. I had 1000$ and small compact camera stolen. I have been proposed sex by the hotel owner. I had jewellery stolen from my luggage on the European route. Yes Air Berlin. I used to liked you but I won't step on any of your planes ever again. After so many years of peace Air Berlin is joining Brussels Airlines which lost my luggage back in 2011 on the 'NO NO LIST'.
Having said all that I still think that 2013 was a fabulous year and I do not regret anything! Had a real blast.
Here is where the steps starts ha ha ha Seriously, I'm generally happy with my blog. I have a steady readership. As it came out, there are people who are reading it. Really you would say?! I don't believe myself but I will take a chance here to THANK YOU ALL MY DEAR READERS.
I have redesigned my blog. I love it. It is all fancy and mobile responsible. If I would only knew what that actually means. I have a great IT team, thanks Boys.
Have I hit the jackpot? Millions of followers? Eyes of the industry on me? Have I been pointed out by New York Time as one of the blogs to read in 2014? Unfortunately not, but it is not a reason to cry. I will try harder in 2014. Cheers!
Personal Life
Here is where we are hitting rock bottom.
Generally I have been all good with my family and friends. Maybe because I haven't seen much of them this year. But seriously I feel a bit guilty about that. I tried not to miss important events, but sometimes shit just happens.
I wish to see more of my lovely nephews. To talk more with my Sisters. Have couple of glasses of wine more with my parents. Attend few more birthday parties of my dear friends. That is something I'm tremendously looking forward in 2014.
As I have four weddings to attend in summer 2014 I will be staying in Europe for a while, so plenty of time to catch up and be more around for my family and friends.
My toxic ex is still bothering me with drunk messages at 4am but what to do?! Some things stay constant in life.
But enough about me. I'm sure you are bored dead by now. Congratulations if you managed to stay focused on this 'bla bla bla' till the end.
So 2013 in Travels
Last few days of 2012 and first three weeks of January I have spend travelling in Morocco. Amazing country, had a lot of fun.
After that I have flew to celebrate birthday of my friend in Lisbon and even though storm of the decade hit Lisbon I managed to travel a bit around in Portugal.
In February I have went to ski in Norway, in Hemsedal! Superb! You should check it out.
March was dedicated to Switzerland and introducing my dear friend Miss Champagne to my favourite city on Earth, Tel Aviv.
April was all about staying home, Easter and family. So maybe I haven't been that terrible after all. May was an escapade to Turkey. Ephesus, Pergamon, Cesme and lovely Izmir.
June was devoted to sailing, Sardinia and Corsica. Costa Esmeralda is a great place to start summer.
July was for Azerbaijan. My favourite country in Caucasus so far.
August for Georgia. Oh my god, those people can drink! Too much fun, and spectacular mountains! Hospitality. Great people. Lots of music and nice food. What else you need?
As well in August I have popped for ten days in Abkhazia. It was quiet interesting but slightly disappointing.
In September I have crossed a border to Armenia.
And visited Nogorny Karabakh, which was a true highlight of my trip.
October was were things went from outstanding to superduper great. I spend 5 weeks travelling in Iran. My best travel ever. I'm totally in love with this country.
November I hardly managed to fly back to Poland on time to attend a wedding of my best friend from high school! All worth it, dancing and drinking for two days. Typical Polish wedding.
December was all about European Affairs. France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.
Here it is. 2013 in pictures, and few words. Hope you enjoyed it. Marysia
