Two groups of ex-employees from annuities giant Prudential are leading the pack to take a slice of the potential £1,000 billion UK corporate buyout market. Prompted by the increasing demands of the UK's Pension Protection Fund (PPF) and Pensions Regulator, along with demographic change, many companies are looking for a way out of their defined benefit pension liabilities.
Mark Wood, the former head of Prudential's UK operations, has secured £500 million of financing for his bulk purchase annuity vehicle Paternoster from a group of backers led by Deutsche Bank and Eton Park International. He says he will aim for a steady volume of small and medium-sized pension scheme buyouts
With the first hurdle of financing successfully overcome, Paternoster is now looking to get approval from the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) for a licence to operate as an insurance company. This move is expected by mid-2006 and is not likely to be hampered by the appointment last month of the former head of the FSA, Sir Howard Davies to the board of Paternoster.
Meanwhile, three of Wood's former Prudential colleagues, led by Isabel Hudson have backing for their pension buyout venture, Synesis Life. The capital backing, the amount of which has not been disclosed, will be provided by JP Morgan, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Warburg Pincus as part of a strategy to target up to £10 billion of liabilities over the medium term.
Unlike Paternoster, Synesis will focus on the larger pension schemes. According to Hudson, the company, which has applied for an FSA licence, will outsource its actuarial function to consulting firm Watson Wyatt, appointing Nick Dumbreck as chief actuary. Watson Wyatt is also a leading actuarial and investment consultant for UK pension schemes.
Another player in the market is an - as yet unnamed - company set-up by Edmund Truell, the founder of Duke Street Capital has apparently secured £400 million of capital and has appointed Lord Rothschild and the former head of the Inland Revenue, Sir Nicholas Montagu, as non-executive directors.
It is not only start-up companies that are looking at the UK's corporate buyout market - earlier this year insurance giant Aviva said it was considering entering the sector.

Book bleed
I designed my book in InDesign and made my pages 9.627" x 8.25" . From there, I exported them as jpegs with the maximum quality and 300 dpi. I am putting them onto the Blurb standard landscape pages and not adjusting the size at all, but it seems there might be a 1/16" on the bottom of every page thats blank, like the jpeg isn't the right height. Is this just me seeing this because I've been staring at my computer for three days straight, or will that be cut off or should I zoom in a click on my images? Please help! This is my graphic design thesis project and it has to be right.

I also have 1/2 margins on every side, so that won't be a concern, I just don't want blank white space when there should be a full bleed.

There is an inconsistancy in the different bits of Blurb documentation giving the page sizes so I suspect that the pages are probably not the right height (there is a thread on this topic here).
What I have done for both 13" x 11" and 10" x 8" books is hover the mouse over the full bleed page and BookSmart will pop up the ideal dimensions of the image (this works for any image container) then sized my page using that rather than the sizes in the FAQs and Blog. They have all turned out fine with no white strips anywhere.
Another point if I may? Exporting page images from InDesign as JPEGs loses a lot of quality in the image, it is a known problem. The recommended approach, both by users and now by Blurb, is to go InDesign—> PDF—> Photoshop—> PNG—> BookSmart. Long winded I know but I gather you'll get a nuch better result. You'll find details here…. http://blog.blurb.com/index.php/2007/05/03/how-to-import-your-custom-design-into-booksmart/

Hi Tony
I exported from Photoshop CS3 (.psd to .jpg – standard . quality 12) and it saved the image quality. But I first did like you said, ("...hover the mouse over the full bleed page and BookSmart will pop up the ideal dimensions of the image …"). I've been working following these dimensions.
But will PNG give a better result than JPG? The .jpgs looked great when I received my book!
"Is this just me seeing this because I've been staring at my computer for three days straight".
I've been working on a family history album, and I see dead people:)
On the serious side, I've seen what I think you are seeing. I do all full bleed from photoshop and I thought my pictures were off center because of the white line along the edge. I tried moving the photo down, and the line didn't go away. I assumed it was an artifact of Booksmart, and published anyway. It did not show up in the book.
If you adjust your photo on the page and the line stays, the problem is not your photo size.
Is PNG the best thing for exported text, too? I tried reading through that enormous thread with like 40 posts, but I didn't get a clear answer out of it. My pages are about 50% photo, 30% 10 pt text, and 20% display type (72 pt and larger) and some decorative paths. I think I will just order another book, and have one of each (I'll definently be posting about how each one turns out!) but I'd appreciate any further help.

Nandorj & kristawoods.
I did a testbook about this time last year with various fonts and using BookSmart for the text and importing pages created in Photoshop via JPEG and PNG. You'll see my findings in this thread.
But I have to admit that there are others who disagree and say going via JPEG is just fine. Do a search for "png" in the forums and that'll bring up other views.
Jeremy Bates, one of the Blurb staffers, also recommends PNG as you'll see here.
Krista, this applies to any page image that contains text. It is also better for line drawings.

Before I found Tony's thread about PNG, I did a couple of books with JPG only. The next book I did using PNG for any pages that had text. I did notice some difference – the PNG did seem a bit crisper. I've been doing PNG on pages with text ever since.

Remember last fall when everyone was expecting Apple to announce the iPhone 5 -- and some people were disappointed that it was "only" the iPhone 4s?
Now it's a pretty safe bet that today's announcement from Apple will be for the newest incarnation of the iPhone -- and that it will be named the "5."
As usual, Apple isn't saying anything about today's media event in San Francisco today, but the email invite sent to journalists contains a shadow in the shape of a "5."
And it's being held at a venue where Apple has launched products before.
The new model is expected to work with fourth-generation, or 4G, cellular networks.
It's also possible that the screen will be bigger.
Apple is also about to upgrade its phone software.
Still unknown is whether Apple will announce a smaller version of its iPad today.

Sacha Baron Cohen Pushes an Elderly Woman in a Wheelchair Off a Stage
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | November 11, 2013 | Comments ()
After receiving the Charlie Chaplin Britannia for Excellence in Comedy at the BAFTA Britannia Awards this weekend, Sacha Baron Cohen pulled off one of the most well-designed pranks you'll ever see at an awards show. The foundation for the prank was well built (in fact, once you get the gist, you can skip ahead to the last 45 seconds for the pay-off), and the payoff was terrific.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (November 27, 2013) – The Rutgers women's basketball team heads to the home of the Brooklyn Nets for the Barclays Women's Invitational this weekend. The Scarlet Knights open up play with No. 15/17 LSU on Friday at 1 p.m.
• Friday's contest at the Barclays Center with LSU will air on WCTC 1450 AM with Ed Cohen and Danny Breslauer on the call. Additionally, RU's student station – WRSU 88.7 FM – will also air all Friday afternoon's action with Dylan MacKinnon and Dylan Mruczinski.
• Rutgers enters Friday's game at 4-1 coming off 69-38 victory over Howard in a game that saw two Scarlet Knights post double-doubles and sophomore center Rachel Hollivay nearly capture a triple-double.
• Sophomore center Rachel Hollivay netted a career-high 26 points and 13 rebounds vs. Howard last Friday and posted nine blocks, just one rejection short of RU's first triple-double since 2011.
• Classmate Kahleah Copper notched her second career double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
• Copper continues to lead RU at 17.6 points per game along with 7.4 rebounds per contest followed by Hollivay at 13.8 points per game and 5.8 points per game.
• Leading rebounder, junior forward Betnijah Laney, who is averaging 11.7 grabs per contest, missed the last two games due to an ankle sprain suffered three games ago against LaSalle. on Nov. 17.1
Like the Scarlet Knights, the Tigers come to the Barclays Center at 4-1 overall. After suffering an 88-67 loss to Louisville in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT, LSU has rattled off two straight victories including an 81-69 win over Louisiana Tech and a 73-54 victory against Hampton.
A quartet of Tigers are averaging double figures through the first five games of the season led by senior forward Theresa Plaisance at 13.6 points per game along with a team-leading 7.8 rebounds per game.
Rookie guard Raigyn Moncriff is adding 10.8 point per game, with junior guard DaShawn Harden at 10.6 points per game and sophomore guard Danielle Ballard at 10.0 points per game.
LSU, which enters ranked at No. 15 in the Associated Press Poll and at No. 17 in the ESPN/USA Today Poll, reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament last season. The Tigers went 22-12 overall and 10-6 in SEC play ending the season with a 73-63 loss to California in the regional semifinal.
Nikki Caldwell is in her third year at the helm of the LSU program. A 1994 graduate of the University of Tennessee, she helped the Volunteers to an 118-13 record during her four-year career and the 1991 national championship. Prior to LSU, Caldwell spent three seasons as the head coach at UCLA.
Rutgers leads the all-time series with LSU, 5-1, including wins in the last three meetings. The two squads last met in 2007 with RU edging LSU, 45-43, at the RAC.
Rutgers also defeated the Tigers during its 2007 NCAA Tournament run to the championship game, defeating LSU, 59-35, in the national semifinal game in Cleveland, Ohio.
Kia Vaughn scored 13 points as No. 7/7 Rutgers posted a 45-43 victory over No. 6/5 LSU on November 25, 2007 at the RAC. The contest was a rematch of the previous season's Final Four national semifinal game.
Vaughn had eight of her 13 points in the first stanza. A late steal by Matee Ajavon helped the Scarlet Knights defeat the highest ranked team at the RAC since Feb. 19, 2005- a 59-48 upset of then No. 5 Notre Dame.
Ajavon and sophomore guard Epiphanny Prince added eight points each while senior guard Essence Carson and junior forward Heather Zurich finished with six apiece.
Senior Quinna Chaney paced the Lady Tigers with 16 points. Senior center Sylvia Fowles added 13 points and 12 rebounds. The teams combined for 39 turnovers in the game.
With RU holding a 44-43 edge with 58.6 seconds left in the game, Ajavon drove the left side of a heavily-populated lane with Fowles grabbing the defensive rebound. The Lady Tigers got the ball inside to Fowles with 28 seconds left, but Ajavon doubled-down with Vaughn and stripped the ball from the All-American.
LSU fouled Prince and she drained one of two from the charity stripe with 9.3 seconds remaining. The Lady Tigers had one last opportunity, choosing not to use their final timeout. A 3-point attempt by Chaney– for the win –hit the back glass with Rutgers escaping with the 45-43 triumph.
The Scarlet Knights have had an outstanding track record of success at home during the previous 10 seasons under head coach C. Vivian Stringer. Rutgers is 138-21 at the RAC since the 2002-03 season. The Scarlet Knights went 13-2 at the RAC last season, including a victory over No. 21/22 Miami and are currently 3-0 this season.
The Scarlet Knights defeated Howard, 69-38, last Friday night at the RAC. It was RU's first victory of at least 30 points since Dec. 15, 2010 against Kean (90-56). RU held Howard to 38 points, holding an opponent to under 39 points for the first time since defeating Miami, 42-34, on Dec. 16, 2012.
Rutgers also posted a season-high 57 rebounds against Howard. It was the most rebounds since RU notched 54 on Dec. 5, 2011 in a win against Miami.
Rutgers has had three or more Scarlet Knights reach double figures in four of the first five games of the 2013-14 season.
Thus far, sophomore forward Kahleah Copper has reached double figures in each of the five games played to date. Copper is the first Scarlet Knights since Epiphanny Prince in the 2006-07 season to start the year off with five straight double figure performances. Prince kicked off the 2006-07 national championship game season running away with 11 straight double figure contests.
Sophomore Rachel Hollivay almost captured a triple-double in RU's last contest, a 69-38 victory over Howard. Hollivay had a career nights with 26 points, 13 rebounds and nine blocks. Her nine blocks were the most by a Scarlet Knights since Kia Vaugh captured nine blocks against St. John's back on Feb. 28, 2009.
RU's last triple-double performance was by Khadijah Rushdan in 2011 with 13 points, 10 points and 10 assists against Pittsburg. The only other Scarlet Knight to have recorded a triple double is current assist coach Tasha Pointer.
Hollivay was the third Scarlet Knight to post a double-double this season.
The Scarlet Knights forced Howard into 23 turnovers last Friday night, RU's fifth-straight opponent that has suffered at least 20 miscues. It is RU's longest such streak since the team forced six-straight opponents into at least 20 turnovers from Dec. 6, 2012 – Dec. 21, 2013.
In games with UMass and La Salle, RU averaged 28.5 points from off the bench. Against UMass, the Scarlet Knights registered 35 points from the non-starting five, including a then career-high 14 points from sophomore center Rachel Hollivay.
Syessence Davis has also been generous with the ball through the first four games of the 2013-14 campaign averaging 4.8 assists per game. The Neptune, N.J. has handed out five or more assists in four of RU's five games to date and has averaged 5.7 assists over the last three games.
Tyler Scaife got her first career starting nod in last Friday's win over Howard and tied her career-high with 13 points in the process.
Two players, Kahleah Copper and Rachel Hollivay, recorded double-doubles last Friday night, the second time this season that feat was accomplished.
Rachel posted her first double-double of her career with 26 points and 13 rebounds, while Copper added 23 points and 13 boards against the Bison.
Betnijah Laney and Copper combined for double-doubles in RU's 65-51 win against Northeastern (Nov. 13). Copper dropped 26 points and 11 rebounds against the Huskies while Laney contributed 15 points and 13 boards.

A few weeks ago, a company called Firmoo asked if I'd like to try out their service and offered me a coupon code for a free pair of glasses in exchange for my honest opinion about them. I usually wear contact lenses but have been needing to get a new pair of prescription glasses so the timing was perfect! I was also pretty curious about the whole process because I'd never ordered glasses online before.
The first thing I noticed was how GREAT the prices are! There are loads of really nice styles under $30, and Firmoo frequently has FREE Frames promos and coupon codes to help keep your total cost low. Even if you don't need prescription glasses, you can order just about any pair with tinting and have some awesome sunglasses! Visit Firmoo HERE to see what free frames or other offers are going on now.
Firmoo has some great tools to help online shoppers select the right size, style, shape and colors. I knew I wanted something with plastic frames in a bit of an oval shape. I've got glasses that are very square, so I thought it would be fun to get something different.

The Glass Haus Kitchen reviews from OpenTable diners
- Fresh Creative and LocalcvillejurDined on 10/22/2013Lots of options on this ever-changing menu. I haven't seen such flavorful & imaginative cocktails since we had dinner at the Proprietors on Nantucket. I had the ginger gimlet with local Blue Ridge vodka - delicious and fresh! Similar to many menus in town, you can combine cheeses and meats for a personal charcuterie plate, but here all the meats and cheeses are local or house made. Very tasty - pickles, jams, and mustard that accompanied were also extremely flavorful. My companions had items from the market section - field peas were amazing. My main was the red snapper - cooked perfectly and served over a flavor enhancing wild rice & greens blend. The duck was also delicious! Our server was attentive & knowledgeable. Slow night, quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- world class in casual settingTLloydDined on 10/16/2013Chef Boden is a creative force. As a pioneer in the farm-to-table movement, he established his excellence at the Staunton Grocery, before opening this restaurant. Any time you can have several tastes that are unprecedented and delicious, you are grateful. Our meal included this kind of innovation in every plate, from the rather astonishing Wagyu tartare to the buttermilk mini-gnocchi, the eggplant feather-light slices dressed with in-house miso to the melting braised duck. Prices are more reasonable than you'd think too, at least for the food. The wine list is not special. They do not have a cellar, and rely on distributors week-to--week for their selections.. One of our selections had changed vintage, and another was out of stock.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inventive cuisineMyrtDined on 10/12/2013Having just moved out of the DC area, it is my opinion that Glass Haus Kitchen compares favorably with fine dining experiences in DC. We had the 5 course Tasting Menu and although there was some delay in the kitchen that caused the 2nd of 5 courses to be extremely slow in coming (almost a full hour), the rest of the courses flow smoothly. Out of 5 courses, two were outstanding including the long awaited second course which was foie gras and the meat course, duck with field peas. Most of our fellow diners who ordered ala carte also appeared to be very happy. This is fine option for upscale dining in Cville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedArlingtondinerDined on 10/12/2013Adventurous menu. But the service was poor and the staff fairly rude. There are train tracks next to the building and the noise and vibration from the freight trains was disturbing during dinner. Cannot recommend and would not return.
- first experience at the glass housevalleywinemakerDined on 10/10/2013My wife and I were there for the first time in a cold rainy Thursday evening last week (10/10/13). We found the experience delightful. The setting is rustic elegance and authentic which we particularly like, much like our winery (we have barren ridge vineyards in fishersville). The food was eclectic and very good. Thank goodness for modest potions. We have always enjoyed Ian's cooking. The service was perfect, non intrusive, pleasant and on top of everything. A lovely repast and much appreciated. John HiggsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun drinks, great service, bad foodEbggDined on 10/5/2013Great drinks, service was responsive & helpful. And the menu looked really good, but all of our dishes were way too salty. I like salt, but most of the dishes served were inedible due to the salt content. Would definitely go again for drinks but not for food
- AmazingoenomanVIPDined on 9/21/2013The food and service at Glass Haus are splendid. Every dish was bursting with flavor and use the fresest ingedients. The heirloom tomato salad was the best of the summer,and the Surryano Ham and figs was perfectly simple and delicious The service was serene and well paced. Kudos to everyone at Glass Haus.Special Features:
- just okayPtchB8Dined on 9/7/2013Food was very salty. This restaurant was fine - but nothing special. There are plenty of better restaurants in Ch'ville.
- Met expectationsChefDaniDined on 9/6/2013Service was excellent, food was good- entrees took a little longer than expected to be presented, but we were generally happy with the dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious, interesting food choicesTravelerDined on 8/30/2013Cool environment! Architectural design of the restaurant was as intriguing as the menu. It was our first time so we ended up ordering a variety of items so we could try as much as possible! Everything was delicious, well presented and the staff was great! Txs!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good, and loudOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/27/2013A restaurant whose noted chef has brought a new level of sophistication and exploration to Charlottesville. The experience is one that is more attuned to New York, perhaps more than Washington DC, with a somewhat surly 'greeter', and extremely courteous service. Our table of 4 had the 5-course tasting menu and 2 of us had the wine pairing. Positives -- the food was consistently excellent-outstanding; innovative preparations, sauces, flavors, textures; the staff was attentive and informative, and the wine paired well, but not exceptional. The booth that was comfortable and provided ample space to enjoy the meal. Negatives -- isolated location (parking?), and noise - from the adjacent booth and the people surrounding the bar. would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, but not for vegansOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/20/2013This visit we had 2 vegans with us, but we had called ahead and been assured that was no problem. We told the server when we were seated, but had to remind her 3 or 4 times after that (awkward), and when she finally did bring us word from the kitchen, it was pretty much what we had already figured out - that they could "pull the cheese off" of the beet side dish, remove the cheese from the tomato salad, that sort of thing. It was disappointing for us, to say the least. Such a creative kitchen, with such fresh and locally sourced ingredients, should have been able to provide our vegan friends with an amazing meal instead of stripped down market plates. That said, we enjoyed the dishes we had very much.Special Features:
- If you have one night to dine out..IvesDined on 8/20/2013In Charlottesville VA...this is it. Nothing more to say. The owner chef is behind the range and the food doesn't get more creative and seasonal. This restaurant could make it in Manhattan.Special Features:
- Overpriced for what it isprofe1967Dined on 8/10/2013We went after hearing rave reviews of the chef's previous restaurant, the Staunton Laundry. We had the five-course tasting menu, which consisted of a soup, an appetizer, a fish dish, a meat dish, and a dessert. No one in our group had alcohol, but we enjoyed a wonderful mocktail. The semi-industrial ambience was fabulous, and the service friendly and attentive, if a bit slow. The food was very good, but the meal turned out to be one of the most expensive we have ever eaten in Charlottesville, without being as good as many a meal we have had at less expensive venues. The dishes were creative, even audaciously so, but they sometimes failed. The best thing we ate was a la carte, the so-called animal crackers. Fatty decadence!Special Features:
- fine dining in cool open warehouseOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/2/2013Beginning with great service and knowledgeable waitstaff, delicious signature cocktails for a reasonable $11 each, and then through locally -sourced seasonal fare, this whole experience was perfection. My partner and I each enjoyed the heirloom tomato appetizer with our cocktails (delicious kombucha mint julep and the "glass germain") and then split market plates with our meals. Crispy fried squash blossoms and spicy aioli were delicious and my partner really enjoyed the beef short rib. The had me with the cocktails and everything else was the icing on the cake. I can't wait to go back and try more veggie options - there weren't many which was really the only downside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We enjoyed the tastings menulocalrevurDined on 7/27/2013We enjoyed the tastings menu with wine pairings and found the food to be innovative with fresh ingredients, unexpected pairings and good flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/27/2013Some of the food was very good but not all of it and it was very overpriced for what it was. My husband had the ravioli and I make better pasta than that. It was also not a very generous serving. The trout was delicious as was the corn, but, quite expensive for what it was and the amount.Special Features:
- Unique and originalhappydinerDined on 7/25/2013This restaurant has great service and a menu full of original recipes. The food was prepared with a lot of care and was delicious. It is a great place for a special dinner, and for anyone who appreciates great food. We would highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic tasting menuCharlottesvilleFoodieVIPDined on 7/20/2013We had the 5 course tasting menu and were not disappointed! Every course was delicious and well balanced. Wine pairings were spot-on. We would definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Def worth a tryMungobDined on 7/19/2013Off the path of the main downtown walkway but absolutely worth a try. My wife and I were amazed we had foodie level cruising - appetizer, entree, side and drink and we were under $100! Well worth a visit. Side note - feel free to park in the spaces directly in front of the entrance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulfredcityDined on 7/13/2013This was my 2nd dining expireince at the Glas Haus Kitchen. The 1st was June 8, celebrating 5 years of my business. On Sat. I helped a friend celebrate their 25th B-day and also take part in C-ville Resturant week. I appreciate everyone's effort to make the expirence quite enjoyable. The staff is very knowledeable, and the teammwork exceptional. Being in a business that relys on customer service I appreciate Francue's ability to lead by example and trust his staff to do their best. Thanks so much Chef and staff. I enjoyed all of my dishes and look forward to coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- friendly serviceEdnamDined on 7/13/2013Our first visit to this restaurant, during "Restaurant week". We were seated in a booth. Our friends had the sun in their face for about an hour, which was very uncomfortable. The food was good, creative. Two of the desserts were not that great (we were 4).I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative food, local ingredientscvillianDined on 7/12/2013Glass Haus focuses on local ingredients and creative dishes. We went for Restaurant Week, so did not see the full menu. Overall, the food was quite good (we had flounder with beets and spaghetti with heirloom zucchini), though not quite as inspired as I hoped. The dishes were well presented and the service was professional. The desserts (a corn pudding and ice cream dish as well as a dish that was described as chocolate and brown sugar but was more of a bread pudding) were off -- although more unusual than the other courses, the combinations were strange and just didn't work well. Nevertheless, I would definitely go back during a different week.Special Features:
- Not up to the hype in the pressOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/12/2013We did not particularly care for the "warehouse chic" decor. All of the staff were attentive and helpful. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. Our first courses were disappointing. Chilled vegetable soup was a small (1/2 cup?) portion of broth with tiny slices and cubes of vegetables floating in it. It probably would have been more flavorful if hot. Entrees were the most successful. The duck leg was moist, tender, and delicious. The field peas had a delicious smoky flavor. Desserts were not as successful. The cherry hand pie was fine. But the Bittersweet Chocolate with Burnt Sugar Angel Food, Blackberries & Whipped Goat Whey was a mess served in a jelly jar topped with tasteless unappealing bubbles.
- Good Food and ServiceCvilleDinerDined on 7/11/2013Visited during restaurant week. Nice use of local food. Great job in presenting fresh sweet corn in multiple dishes. Loved the fresh vegetable salad. Beautiful presentation and friendly attentive service. Liked the interior spaces and the overall design of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant WeekafoodiefirstwinosecondDined on 7/11/2013I went here with a friend during Charlottesville's restaurant week. A decent spread of options-and some interesting flavor ideas. Not completely impressed, but would like to see what else this chef has up his sleeves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They have a great wine list.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/11/2013They have a great wine list. We were not disappointed. Nice to have the bottle chilled at the table. The bread was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wanted it to be better...cvillefoodie4Dined on 7/10/2013We recently ate here and I was really excited to try the restaurant out after it has received so much positive publicity. It was to celebrate a new job so I made reservations in advance. When we arrived, we found out that we only could dine from the restaurant week menu. I wish someone had told us this before as this was for a very special occasion. Then we were seated at quite literally the worst seat in the house. Despite a lovely atmosphere, we were placed by the emergency exit, next to the entrance curtain and next to a loud fan. The door slammed the whole time and by this point we were just really frustrated. The food was pretty good but all the other factors made for an expensive and frustrating experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ObservationsFirsttimerDined on 7/10/2013Our service was extremely slow. Especially the time period after the entree and before dessert; then after dessert and waiting for our check. I did not feel like the $36 meal was commiserate with the portion and the service. We sat upstairs...it was very warm and stuffy. We were excited to try a new restaurant during restaurant week. The food was ok - but not outstanding. Unfortunately, we will not be going back.Special Features:
- Restaurant Week findNoNickNameDined on 7/10/2013The food was absolutely incredible and its presentation beautiful. The belief as to how their food comes to them is most appreciated. Their support of local farmers and being mindful organic and non-GMO is a wonderful step forward in raising the bar as to what a restaurant should be. To Ian and is fine staff, "thanks for moving to Charlottesville."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Total ExperiencemicheleDined on 7/10/2013From the food taste, quality, and presentation to creative aspects of how the Chef designs his food. All aspects of the dining experience are in full harmony here. It's an honor to witness someone doing what they were created to do by God. Amazing all around.Special Features:
- BlahDustyDined on 7/9/2013Really slow, in attentive service. Food was very bland and disappointing. Way overpriced. Served half a martini for $11.Special Features:

- great ambiance, mediocre foodgreatVIPDined on 7/9/2013The decor was lovely but the staff was particularly unfriendly during Restaurant Week and we had three different servers. The cocktails were delicious but the food was underwhelming, steak had minimal flavor and the angel food cake in the bitter chocolate dessert was chewy.

- Unique good food.EatoomuchDined on 6/28/2013We went with a large crowd and I tried many appetizers and main dishes. The wine was fantastic. Since they don't have salads I would have liked more vegetable options. Beautiful presentation of quality food. Not overly expensive considering the obvious work involved. I would have liked a bit more flavor/herbs/spices. My dish ( spaghetti with lump crab meat) was bland and not as good as I could have made it at home. The fish options were nice. Overall I might try the place again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful eveningYellowpurseVIPDined on 6/26/2013Four of us had dinner and we each had a different entre. All of them were superb Adam was our waiter and he was fabulous. We enjoyed Everything about the eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A DiscoveryOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/22/2013Because we had known the Staunton Grocery, we knew we loved Ian Boden's cooking. I had a drink called something like Art in the Age, which featured rhubarb liqueur and had a zesty taste. Everything we ate was excellent too: innovative, crunchy when it needed to be, savory, tender, beautifully presented, and delicious. The wait staff were attentive without being cloying or overly familiar. The heritage pork I had was unbelievable: succulent, and coated thinly with an amazing crust. My wife's fish course was fine too, but perhaps a trifle bland. The desserts were fantastic. It was a relief that it was quiet enough that we could carry on a conversation. It wasn't cheap, but we'll come back soon. Over all, this is now the best place in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing tasty food and Drink!LoveFUDDined on 6/20/2013We arrived at 6:30 on a Thursday night, we were immediately greeted by our waiter who showed us to our reserved table. Service was prompt but not over done. We relayed to the waiter that we were not in a hurry and wanted to take out time. We decided to try the 5 course chefs tasting menu accompanied with a flight of wine with each course. The wines went with the courses perfectly. All our dishes were explained to us thoroughly before we received them our mouths were watering! Creamy pate, perfectly pickled vegetables, perfect tender duck confit, all the our dishes were thought out and very quickly left you smiling and happy after every bite! It was a perfect birthday dinner! Will be going back and recommending to all my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
"One might think, as inclined as I might be to mix the scrutiny of game design with affectionately-intended trash pop, that Beatbuddy: Tale Of The Guardians is the crux of musicality, ingenuity and design I'd write scads of lovelorn poetry for." - Rockpapershotgun.com

Could've been betterMarkDeejay | April 16, 2014 | See all MarkDeejay's reviews »
Beatbuddy... The title suggests this game is all about music and in a way it is, but don't expect something like Bit.Trip Runner, Symphony or Audiosurf here. Beatbuddy is an action adventure where your enemies produce the sounds resulting in a track for each of the six levels. The levels themselves are big and should take you around 30-45 minutes to finish. So completing the game will take you about 5-6 hours. I can tell you that that's more than enough because Beatbuddy just doesn't have enough variety to keep things interesting for much longer than that. True, it introduces new puzzles and enemies in every level that you play, like so many other games really, but for Beatbuddy is just isn't enough. Plus, the fact that I experienced 2 game breaking bugs made me realize that Beatbuddy is a good game, but nothing groundbreaking. I can understand that a game has bugs, as long as they don't break the game but for a game that's 2D and somewhat linear it's unforgiving. Especially if it's such a short experience. On the other hand; the levels are well made and have beautiful art so it's not all bad. My advice to you: grab it when it's on sale.
Pump it up as you go!AkiMatti | April 9, 2014 | See all AkiMatti's reviews »
Now this is a fun game! By combining the flow and rhythm of the game to the music Beatbuddy gives a new feeling to playing. Elements like enemies and projectiles within the game all move in rhythm, making playing easier if you get into it as well.
The colourful environments, the smooth aesthetics of the character and world design, the giddy soundtrack and wonderful animation all combine to a joyful experience. Pretty casual, sure, but sometimes that is not so bad.
Recommended for some simple time waste when you want to take it easy and take in the beats. Gives you a happy feeling!

hypnotic entertaining nice feeling from controlling the movement. yes the beats your movements become some hypnotic art. not serious game fun game. Interesting and unique game. It's refreshing to have a game that is challenging and well thought out while being accessible to all. Worth playing and recommended
NiceCavalieroscuro | Aug. 28, 2013 | See all Cavalieroscuro's reviews »
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is a very nice, little platformer game. The hand painted graphic is an added value, but the gameplay is simple and addicting. The game is not too long, but it's good if you have some spare time to kill.
GoodBolo | Aug. 7, 2013 | See all Bolo's reviews »
Last production Threaks surprising gameplay and technical execution. So beautiful and great cinematographic production was not long ago.In the game you control a little creatures called BeatBuddym, and walking through the boards try to save his amazing world.BeatBuddy: Tale of the Guardians offers six different hand-painted worlds.I can recommend this game to anyone who likes adventure games.

FORT WORTH, Tex. (WTAQ) - A fire shooting from a natural gas line that exploded Monday afternoon in north Texas is now out.
Investigators say the explosion may have been caused when a crew digging to install power lines struck the gas line, which exploded sending a massive fire ball into the air for about two hours.
There are reports that 3 people have been killed, several injured and others missing in the blast. The flames could be seen more than 20 miles away and the fire charred grass and brush surrounding the site.
Work equipment and vehicles also burned. Firefighters and emergency crews remain on the scene.

Leave them alone. Don't try to holla or hit on them. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if someone were to hit on your girlfriend/boyfriend. That person is obviously taken because they like that other person and are committed to them. So don't go trying to do that shit. It's just not right. That shows how low you are. Go find someone else to hit on. There's plenty of people out there for you.

This week is going to have an incredible playoff feel about it. From Monday until mid-week there are five series - four in the American League and one in the National - with great head-to-head playoff implications.
Monday, the Tigers open a four-game series at Chicago against the White Sox. Detroit swept them three straight the last time they met, but is now on a slide that's seen them drop five out of six. The Tigers are tumbling out of the race for the second Wild Card spot at four-and-a-half out. However, they are only two games back of Chicago. Detroit must take three out of four.
Also on Monday, Oakland is visiting the Angels. The A's have won 12 of their last 15 and are holding down the first Wild Card spot. The Angels have reeled off 11 wins in their last 12 and are just one game back of Baltimore and that second Wild Card and two-and-a-half behind the A's.
In the National on Monday Pittsburgh is at Cincinnati. The Pirates are two-and-a-half back of St. Louis and the second Wild Card. The Reds pretty much have their division wrapped up, but are only two-and-a-half back of Washington in the race for best overall record in the National League.
On Tuesday, Tampa Bay is at Baltimore. The Rays are just one game back of the O's for the second Wild Card slot.
As a bonus on Tuesday the Yankees are at Boston to face the crumbling Red Sox. The Yanks are only one game up on Baltimore in the East and two up on Tampa Bay. The Bosox have dropped four in a row including three straight at home to the Blue Jays, but they are playing the Yankees with a chance to help knock their arch rivals out of the post-season.
The Blue Jays' goal at this point is to finish the season on an upbeat note and keep the Red Sox behind them in the cellar in the East. The Jays would have to go 17-6 to finish at .500, which looks like a stretch.
A couple of Jays have a shot at some individual glory over the last three-and-a-half weeks. Edwin Encarnacion, with 38 homers, still has a shot at the American League home run title, while Rajai Davis' 41 steals still may be able to take the stolen base crown. Interesting quote from Jays GM Alex Anthopolous on Cybulski and Co. on TSN 1050 Radio last week. Anthopoulos said that even if he had a Justin Verlander on his staff right now, he would still go after a C.C. Sabathia if he became available. That would appear to make it clear that Anthopolous has the green light to go out and do whatever it takes to build a contending starting rotation in the off-season.
Way Back When
I know that they were different times, and relief pitchers are relied upon more than ever these days. But check these numbers out for the Blue Jays' first two seasons in the American League.
1977 Lefty Jerry Garvin, at age 22, pitched 244.2 innings
Righty Jesse Jefferson - 217 innings Righty Dave Lemanczyk - 252 innings 1978 Righty Jim Clancy - 193.2 innings Righty Jesse Jefferson - 211.2 innings Lefty Tom Underwood - 197.2 innings
There is another explanation. The Jays were so bad in those first two years, pitchers had to be left in longer no matter how badly things were going so the bullpen wouldn't be destroyed by mid-season. Just the same, a lot of teams would kill to get that kind of inning production these days.
In 1977 according to Baseball Almanac, there were eight players on the roster who only made $19,000 for the season. In 1978, I got my first full-time job in this business and was making $12,000. How the times have changed! I did a little checking and the oldest living former Blue Jay is Ron Fairly at 74. Ron played over 20 years in the Majors including stints with the Jays and the Expos and then went on to have some good years in broadcasting. First class gentleman all the way. I hope he is well.
Mighty Braun
Milwaukee is six games out of the second Wild Card spot in the National League and is generally having a mediocre season. But not Ryan Braun.
He has almost duplicated - if not surpassed - his MVP numbers of a year ago. Braun has 161 hits, 38 homers, 100 RBI's, a .313 average and 23 stolen bases.
Braun, you'll recall, was cleared of charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs thanks to a protocol error in the handling of his urine samples. I just wonder if that lingering cloud and the Brewers so-so season will deny him of any MVP votes this time around.
You could argue that Ryan Braun is the best player in baseball.

LAS VEGAS - The man accused in the highly publicized, deadly shooting on the Las Vegas Strip now faces a criminal indictment.
The indictment of Ammar Harris came down Friday afternoon. The February shooting and subsequent accident left three people dead and garnered international attention.
The attack shut down the Strip for several hours. Police say Harris, an admitted pimp, shot and killed another pimp, Kenny Cherry. The shooting caused an accident that claimed the lives of two bystanders.
The criminal complaint says Harris and Cherry left the Aria hotel in separate vehicles at approximately 4 a.m. A short time later, Harris opened fire on Cherry on Las Vegas Boulevard near Flamingo Road. Police say Harris shot and killed Cherry, Cherry's Maserati sped through a red light and struck a taxi cab. That cab exploded - killing the driver and his passenger, a Las Vegas tourist.
View Ammar Harris Timeline of Events
Harris evaded authorities for a week before police captured him in Los Angeles. Two months later, authorities extradited Harris to Las Vegas. Friday, he was indicted on numerous charges – pushing back his scheduled arraignment Monday.
Harris' trial will likely generate significant media attention, but attorney Ozzie Fumo, who does not represent any clients in this case, says don't expect to hear anything from Harris.
"First thing, tell your client not to make statements to anybody at this point. Whether it's press, you don't want them to say something that can be used against him first of all, and you don't want something that contradicts something that might be in the discovery that, if he does end up taking the stand at trial, they can impeach him with," he said.
He says the defense will probably receive their copy of the evidence at next week's arraignment. Harris faces four additional charges stemming from a violent sexual assault in 2010. A woman staying with Harris claims he raped her in the shower, tried to strangle her and stole hundreds of dollars from her wallet.
Several questions surrounding the Harris case remain unanswered. Observers still wonder about the whereabouts of Harris' murder weapon, as well as the identity of the people who may have harbored him while he evaded police.
Tehran Boldon is the brother of Michael Boldon – the taxi driver who died following the shooting. Tehran says he will attend the trial. He wants to know if Harris' alleged coconspirators will be prosecuted or testify against Harris.
"If they need to give these people and let them go, in other words, in order to get Ammar Harris and get the justice he deserves, you know, so be it," he said.
"I'm confident the district attorney is going to reach out to those people and give them an ultimatum. You can either be a codefendant with Mr. Harris, sitting next to him in this trial, or you can testify against him and we'll give you immunity," added Fumo. "I think the public, they want the shooter. They want the person who pulled the trigger. So, I think that's what the state is going to focus on, the person who did the shooting."
Legal experts predict the district attorney will drop charges on anyone who helped Harris escape in exchange for testimony against him.

An exquisite close-up shot of a model in a Lucile ensemble, circa 1912.
A Lucile model wearing an amazingly embroidered tunic/robe over a simple chiffon dress. I love how Lucile has her posed as a caryatid to reflect the classical influence of the ensemble.
Amazingly, Lucile's most important contributions to the world of fashion were probably not her designs.
Lucile is credited with hiring and training the world's first profession fashion models and using them to stage the very first catwalk-style runway shows!
This photograph was taken of one of Lucile's models (which she called mannequins) in 1912.
A wonderful bright purple evening gown from Lucile's Winter 1911 collection.
If you're interested/independently wealthy, this dress is going up for auction on April 28th.
The pre-auction estimate is $3,000-5,000. Who needs a car/apartment/college tuition when you could own a Lucile gown?! Although it is worth keeping in mind that the pre-auction estimate for this Lucile gown was $5,000-7,000. It will be interesting to see if this gown has similar results.
This silk blouse from Elsa Schiaparelli's Spring-Summer 1940 collection, in addition to being gorgeous, is also a bold political statement.
Bearing a fleur-de-lis, a traditional symbol of France, and the Latin phrase "AUT VINCERE AUT MORI", literally "conquer or die".
This blouse was a striking statement against the Nazi conquest during the Battle of France. And a moving show of support by Schiaparelli for her adopted homeland, which would fall to the Nazi invasion within months.
A belt with hand shaped clasps from Schiaparelli's 1934 Fall-Winter collection.
A grape covered Schiaparelli cocktail hat, Fall-Winter 1939.
A butterfly covered Schiaparelli dress, Spring-Summer 1937.

FREAKIN awesome. first one of these machinimas i ever watched, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love how listenable deathklok is, even though they're basically a parody of the whole metal genre.
also, i'm pretty sure its "take the blood that must be taken"
not "take the land". not to split hairs or anything...spilling blood is slightly more metal than conquering land.
Actually, it is "take the land that must be taken". The lyric in it's entirety is...
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken;
Take the land that must be taken;
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken;
Devour world
Smite forsaken
I would also argue that there are as many songs about battle and conquest as there are about blood, but that's another debate for another time. :)

"Take your favorite pair of denim cut-offs that are in need of a makeover before summer officially hits. Flip your shorts over and prepare to seam rip the back pocket off. Put some muscle into it! Lay your pocket facedown on the backside of some leather skin and trace its outline with chalk. Place your leather pocket where the denim once was and sew it in place. Cute! You can do one or both pockets, and it's also always cute to swap out a couple of belt loops as well using your leftover leather scraps."
"This cardigan was a little too boxy and boyish for me so I added the frillier elements from the dress onto it. The collar was pinned then sewn on, and the shoulder pads were converted into elbow pads and then sewed on as well. For kicks, I wrote out 'this' on the left and 'that' on the right."
"I was really into the peplum shape of this dress so I didn't want to do too much to it. I had fun deconstructing the top part though. It's true of electronics and it's true of clothes too—there's much to be learned in taking things apart! I found these funny tulle epaulettes inside, and made some custom buttons that say 'this' and 'that' and sewed those onto the front."
"I trimmed the top and sleeves off, converting the sleeves into straps for this tank top. The bottom was cut flat in the back and into a u-shape in the front for a front-tie. It seemed like a nice way to make use of the excess material already on the shirt."
"I wanted to make this into something appropriate for summer so it got the crop-tank treatment. To take care of the supremely huge armpit holes, though, the sides had to be taken in, so I embellished those plackets with a different set of custom buttons."
"Start with a plain white tee, and lay your favorite tank top on top of it. Trace the armhole and draw a straight line down the side seam half an inch from the edge of the shirt. Cut the shirt out along the lines, as well as the neck band. Turn the shirt inside out and sew the front and back together. Lay some fringe on top of the bottom hem and sew it all the way around the bottom."
"This was really fun. I tried to make something I'd really want to wear and use, so I made textile necklaces. The materials were perfect for braiding—I took one dress and one shirt and made two necklaces, intertwining both. I added a touch of neon to take the country kitchen out."
"At first glance this Hawaiian print dress looked sort of frumpy and shapeless but then I noticed that it had some nice features that I could work with to turn it into something great. The skirt already had built in elastic so I carefully cut above the waist to separate the skirt. I realized that it was still a bit big so I pinched the excess elastic and folded it over, sewing a few stitches at the side to keep the new waist in place. For the collar, I simply cut it off the dress as neatly as possible."

In The Company of a MAN
Simply put, 42 year old Parker Williams is a walking wet dream come to life. His face is ruggedly handsome, his body rippling in muscles, his torso covered in fur and his dick is fat, thick, blunt, cut, long and always waiting for the next opportunity to be good use, be it in his own capable hands � or for those with extreme good fortune, in the care of others. 18, blonde, smooth and beautifully sexy, Luke is the one with the luck today as he is joining Parker. After Parker took one look at his co-star, he was more than pleased with the hand he was dealt. Parker knew immediately that he wanted inside that tender young winner's circle. To say the feeling was mutual is an understatement. We know Luke loves built, good looking men in their prime and making room for this daddy was right up his alley � and soon, right up somewhere else. We knew we had the making of a great scene. What we did not know at the time was that the result would be more than just a hot pairing; it would be one of MenOver30.com's finest � and hottest � hours ever!Even through Luke's probing fingers, the bulge in Parker's shorts looked like he was unsuccessfully trying to smuggle a flashlight in his pocket. With an 18 year old like Luke so warm for your form, who could blame him? Grabbing Luke in his strong arms, Parker inhaled Luke's tongue in his mouth with the kind of slow, passionate kisses usually reserved for a lover. Luke loved the feeling of Parker's hairy chest on his own smooth one, but loved the taste of Parker's cock even more. After covering every throbbing inch of Parker's cock with his tongue, Parker lifted up Luke, made history of his clothes, pulled his head back, and licked Luke's neck as he ground his pole against Luke's cheeks. Meanwhile, Luke's cock throbbed in the air and he ground back against the formidable man behind him. Parker moved Luke to the chair, swallowed his cock, tasted his hole before they got on the floor for a 69, offering Parker the perfect vantage point to probe Luke's hole with his fingers and his tongue in preparation for full scale anal invasion they both had been dying for since the moment they first laid eyes on each other.After slapping his cock against Luke's cheeks as he loosened the nearby opening with his thumb, Parker aimed the knob of his cock at the entrance to Luke's ass. Like a battle plan executed with the utmost precision, Parker invaded Luke's insides with a steady push as Luke moaned in what can only be described as a symphony of unbridled joy. With his tall strong legs straddling over Luke, he steadily lowered himself in and out of Luke's hole as Luke's own throbbing cock began to leak a steady stream of pre. The passion turns to lust as Parker responded to Luke's plea to �fuck me, fuck me� by ramming harder and faster, the collision of flesh against flesh echoing across the room. Sliding Luke on his back, Parker piston fucked the hungry hole until Luke spilled a massive load that covered his chest which mirrored the white monsoon Parker soon added. As Parker licked some of jizz off his hand, we noticed his cock was already hard again proving that 42 can indeed go into 18 a lot more than the calculator would have you believe.
