Condo hotels offer private individuals the opportunity to purchase a condominium unit for personal use part of the year and for rent to the general public as part of a hotel when it is not in use by the owner. These projects provide a source of financing for developers, a seasonal vacation home for unit owners and the opportunity for unit owners to cover their costs of carrying their units so long as there is sufficient demand from renters. Condo hotels were popular in the early- to mid- 2000s until real estate values started declining in 2008. Historically, there have been strict limits on how condo hotel units could be structured and marketed for sale under the securities laws in the United States. However, two recent legal developments combined with increasing demand for real estate in South Florida may provide significant opportunity for these arrangements to flourish.
Investment Contracts
Under the U.S. securities laws, if someone purchases a condo hotel unit with the expectation of receiving profits from the rental pool arrangement, then the arrangement is tantamount to an investment contract and the offering of units has to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unless there is an available exemption. Until recently, exempt offerings of investment contracts (known as private placements) were strictly prohibited from being marketed to the general public, which required that condo hotels be structured (often with great uncertainty) so as not to be deemed an investment contract. Whether offering a condo hotel unit constitutes an offering of an investment contract generally turns on two key issues: first, the structure of any rental arrangement associated with the unit and, second, the representations that the developer or broker makes about the rental arrangement to a purchaser during the sales process. In 1973, the SEC published a release noting that a condo hotel might not be subject to the securities laws if units are offered or sold without an emphasis on the economic benefits to be derived from the efforts of a third party manager under a rental pool arrangement.
Salameh v. Tarsadia Hotel
In August 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the combination of selling condo hotel units in the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego and later entering into a rental management agreement did not constitute the offer or sale of an investment contract. (Salameh v. Tarsadia Hotel, No. 11-55479 (9th Cir. Aug. 13, 2013)). It was significant in the Salameh case that the hotel did not promote the rental management agreement at the time of sale of units and that purchasers were not told that there would be a forthcoming rental management agreement or that a rental management agreement would bring investment-like profits, although the Court noted that a time gap between purchasing a unit and signing a rental management agreement may not always be dispositive.
Offering Condo Hotels to the General Public
Separately, the SEC's new private placement rules allow condo hotels the flexibility of being offered to the general public as an investment without incurring the significant time and expense of registering the offering and then being subject to ongoing reporting and other requirements associated with being a public company. The new rules, which became effective on September 23, 2013, allow companies to market investment contracts and other securities to the general public under a private placement exemption so long as they take reasonable steps to verify that all investors are accredited investors.
If condo hotel units are offered to the general public as an investment, the sponsor or developer of the project would likely need to involve a broker-dealer (which can be an affiliated company) that is registered with the SEC, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and the states where units are offered, and whose authorized business includes private placements of securities, since the offering and sale of investment contracts and other securities generally can only be done by a licensed securities broker. The registered broker-dealer also would likely need a real estate broker license in order to sell the condo hotel units. In limited circumstances, the individual directors, officers and employees of an issuer of securities are able to offer securities on behalf of the issuer provided that their primary responsibilities for the issuer are not the offer or sale of securities and that they are not compensated based on securities transactions (and provided that certain other conditions are met).
Only time will tell whether sponsors or developers start offering condo hotel units for sale as securities under the SEC's new rules allowing general solicitation and general advertising of private placement offerings. We have not yet seen market practices start to move in that direction.

Putting Care into Care Packages
If sending a box crammed with Pogey Bait — yet another piece of Marine Corps slang meaning "junk food" — is what it takes to get our Marines through another day, we're up for it! But what do we put in those things?
I asked this question and got all kinds of responses from military spouses, brats, and other family and friends. Hopefully everyone can steal a couple of new ideas.
Marines may need some necessities. Sun block, socks, underwear, flip-flops, Chap Stick, baby wipes and powder will make everyone a little more comfortable.
When it comes to food, think durable and non-perishable. Canned or jarred foods like Pringles, salsa, nuts and trail mix aren't easily crushed into a million little crumbs. Beef jerky, granola bars, gum and non-melting candy make the trip well, as do foods that come well-packaged like Oreos, Little Debbie snack cakes, Moon Pies and packaged fruit pies. If you're sending things that might arrive as pancakes, consider putting them in a small tin to protect them.
The most popular edibles are homemade cookies and single bottle-sized drink mixes such as Gatorade or Crystal Light. Variety is crucial when sending flavored drink mixes. Pink lemonade can get just as old as regular water if your Marine drinks it eight times a day.
Send the cookies your Marine wants. Don't waste postage on something he'd never eat at home. I promise chocolate chip cookies will be fine. Those little chips hold up in a 350-degree oven, so they'll be fine in a desert.
If you're sending soft cookies, toss a piece of bread into the container. It'll keep the cookies soft by releasing moisture that the cookies will absorb.
Now, the fun stuff! Some of the most popular time-passers are: Rubik's Cube, playing cards/poker chips, Etch-a-sketch, 20 Questions, practical joke pieces, crossword/Sudoku puzzles, books, magazines and favorite newspaper section — I'm guessing sports.
Other suggestions include, holiday décor, pictures, music on a CD or USB or recordings of the Sunday sermon. Remember to skip the valuables. You may never again see the goodies you send. Your Marine can only carry so much on the way home.
Stationary is a must if you expect to get any letters from your Marine. Send it all — paper, envelopes, address labels and pens, but skip the stamps. They won't need them.
Some wives really got creative. Amy, a Navy wife in California, sent her husband the sonogram DVD that showed the sex of their baby. A local Marine wife sent her husband a clean pair of her undies to remind him what he had waiting at home. Now that's motivation to get home!
My personal favorite comes from Cara, a Navy wife, who sent her husband a birthday cake and helium filled balloon in a very large box for his birthday. She admits it wasn't the most practical, but I'm sure that's a birthday he won't forget.

Trying to raise awareness against tobacco use and getting children and adults out and active in the commuity to promote healthy activities for families.
This event may not solve the problem overall but we are taking a stand against smoking in our community and to celebrate the support of rural health. Our journey starts at a community college and ends on teh steps of City Hall where local and nation politicians will be speaking. Members of the American Cancer Society and National Rural Health will be available as well. This march takes a stand for the health of our future generations.
Last year less than 30 people gathered on this day. This funding and increased awareness will bring hundreds and maybe thousands to do this and take a stand for the health of our state. The hope is that other communities will see this and this will start a chain reaction across the state, and then across our country. This will work 100%

Ahsan Khan is 'Montage Everyday Hero' for January
The "Montage Everyday Hero" for January 2014 is Ahsan Khan, an ophthalmologist working at Kaiser Permanente in Yorba Linda.
Four years ago, Khan launched the Gift of Sight medical mission to Guatemala, a mission to restore the sight of poor villagers there.
He says it's hard to describe just how profound the simple act of removing a cataract can be.
"In Guatemala, families are very close knit. If one person is disabled, or blind, the whole family is occupied with this person, caring for them. So if you give vision to one person, another person's life is freed up."
Khan is also an active member of the Ahmadi Muslim community in Southern California, serving as president of Los Angeles East Chapter based at Baitul Hameed Mosque in Chino Hills, which also has been active in the national blood drive campaign, Muslims for Life. In 2013, the group collected 1,200 pints of blood "all in the name of saying we are fellow Americans who stand by the Americans who died on 9/11," Khan says.
The Guatemalan village where Khan has helped restore eyesight also is where the Ahmadi Muslim humanitarian aid organization, Humanity First, is embarking on philanthropic projects, such as digging wells.
The son of Pakistani parents, Khan was raised in Chino Hills, and now lives in Fullerton with his wife and three children.
In this video, Khan speaks about the rewards of his efforts.
Khan's story was featured in the "Everyday Heroes" column that runs every Monday in the Local section of the Register. For his efforts to establish a mission serving the poor in Guatemala, and for all he does here to foster peaceful dialogue on Islamic issues affecting Americans, he will receive a two-night stay at the luxury beachfront hotel, Montage Laguna Beach.

As online retailers add features to their sites they need better tools to optimize performance.
When it comes to bringing the brand to life online, NikeStore.com strives to excel as much as the star athletes associated with the brand. A redesign last year served up even richer content and features on the site than ever, with nearly 100 elements on the home page alone-images and Flash features, for example-by the count of one industry service vendor.
But loading up the site with features and functionality came at an initial cost in terms of performance. After the relaunch, an outside testing firm found pages took longer to load than the industry average. Visits to the site in a single day, for example, produced home page loading times ranging from less than two seconds to more than 20 seconds. At the time, Nike confirmed that efforts to serve up a more robust consumer experience online had resulted in some longer page loading times, an issue it was actively working to resolve.
The need for speed
Nike's experience isn't unique. It illustrates that for any online retailer, ensuring consistent and speedy delivery of pages and site features can become increasingly challenging with the addition of new bandwidth-consuming bells and whistles-many of them imported from third parties-that consumers are coming to expect of e-commerce sites.
And if that's a potential problem at the level of a single consumer interacting with a web page in the middle of the night, how much is it multiplied by the demands of many consumers attempting to interact with the page during peak traffic times, such as during the holiday shopping season or the day when an online marketing campaign hits?
"Having a poorly performing web site is one of the fastest ways for a company to amass disgruntled former customers," says Forrester Research Inc. in its report, "A Flawless Experience Demands a Fine Balance between Interactivity and Performance." According to Forrester, consumers expect sites to be engaging, provide personalized information and let them complete tasks quickly.
"However, there is risk that the more rich content and interactive features you add to your site, the harder it will become to achieve either raw or 'perceived' performance," the report says. "Your challenge is to find the proper balance between maximum performance and maximum interactivity."
That makes ensuring that consumers are experiencing consistent site performance-the job of site performance monitoring-is a more critical and also a more complex task than ever. It's not enough now for e-retailers to simply ensure that web pages are available and that they download at a speed consistent with industry standards, experts say. With the growing variety of rich media and interactive features appearing on e-retail sites now, from video to product configurators to consumer ratings and reviews, application monitoring is expanding as well.
Staying vigilant
So today, staying on top of site performance also means following how quickly and in what order individual applications load on a site, and how well they execute when consumers engage them. And because consumers are accessing the web through a growing variety of browsers, and different generations of those browsers, an element on a web page may not render consistently for all. Thus, ensuring good site performance for all visitors even extends into measuring how a site's pages perform in different browsers.
As e-commerce sites continue to evolve, so will the demands of site performance monitoring. Given that, Forrester advises online retailers to be vigilant so as to find performance problems before customers do.
"Customers might not be complaining because they have already switched to your competitor," the Forrester report notes. "You must proactively measure your performance to ensure that customers are getting the best experience you can afford to provide."
Reason one: They're constantly trying to sell their customer, rather than to help and engage ...
Posted 02/23/17
Consumers will engage with products and brands in new ways online in the year ahead.

The Supreme Court is surely going to find this question right back on their doorstep next year."

The (un)Natural Dehydration Process of BrillianceOctober 3, 2006
A couple items that have really been catching my eye lately are hair products, mostly shampoos and hair dyes. In particular, these ones run at about 40 bucks a bottle and apparently will give you natural-looking hair.
This is great news for me, because lately I've been just washing my hair with soap and water and have been noticing my hair getting more and more unnatural. I also have a 73 year-old friend who's hair has been getting a little gray, which has apparently been freaking some people out.
Though, sometimes it's best not to have things the natural way. For example, I'd much rather eat many of my foods dehydrated–especially if it's something disgusting. And the choices for dehydrated food are endless, you can get bananas, apples, vegetables…The list goes on, and they're always working on new ones.
Though, the one I'm really looking forward to is dehydrated water.
I thought about trying to make some myself, but when I went through the whole mental process I realized that I might not have anything left over to consume and/or sell. I also realized that I'd have a bunch of useless H2O leftover from the process.
Then I was hit with another brilliant idea: The next best thing–water extract.
Stuff that other people said:
Very true. Kinda makes you think.
/me applauds.
You're an emokid.
For sure.
That was an incredibly lame post.
No offense, of course.

To accomplish this goal, we will evaluate genes found associated in Projects 1 and 2 with CVD endophenotypes or in Project 3 with hypertension or type II diabetes (T2D), for associations with incident cardiovascular events and angiographically documented CAD in the CATHGEN sample of approximately 10,000 patients who have undergone cardiac catheterization at Duke since 2001. CATHGEN is a unique resource of biological samples collected at time of cardiac catheterization combined with a carefully adjudicated clinical database comprising angiographically-defined extent and anatomical distribution of coronary artery disease, extensive clinical data on CHD risk factors, and annual follow-up for evaluation of incident cardiovascular events. The CATHGEN investigators, under non-overlapping support from their NHLBI grant, will be evaluating a broad range of genes that are biologically plausible contributors to CHD pathogenesis and/or course or have been reported to be associated with CHD for associations with CAD and clinical events. Therefore, another aim of this Project, will be to collaborate with Projects 1, 2 and 3 to determine whether any genetic variants we fmd associated with CAD or clinical events in the CATHGEN sample are also associated with CVD endophenotypes, hypertension and/or T2D in their samples. As with Project 3, this Project provides the opportunity to take the critical step of translating gene associations with CVD endophenotypes into documented impact on disease endpoints.
The knowledge gained can be used to identify persons at risk who can be selected for behavioral and/or pharmacologic interventions that target the CVD endophenotypes via which gene effects on pathogenesis or disease course are mediated, with the goals or preventing disease and improving prognosis once disease is present

The end of Talking Heads
Thank you for your comments regarding the ABCTV Series Talking Heads series completion. It is indeed....
- Margot Phillipson
Lorrae Desmond is fondly remembered for her long term role as Shirley Gilroy in A Country Practice.
As a young thing, fresh from a hairdressing apprenticeship, Lorrae arrived in London and banged on doors until she was working with Tony Hancock and Moorecombe and Wise. She sang and performed cabaret around the globe for decades.
Despite being the first female to win a gold Logie, Lorrae Desmond's proudest accolade is the one Australian soldiers gave her, the title "mother of all Vietnam Veterans".

The Stevenson Ranch Davidians claim that they're a "trip to outer space with stops at the moon and the afterlife." That sounds like the sort of thing I would normally heartily approve of. So why then when I play this CD do I hear nothing but recycled Spiritualized and (The) Verve licks and tricks?
Now, I happen to have a great deal of time for Jason Pierce and his madder Spiritualized outings, and A Storm in Heaven by The Verve is a peach of an album from before the days that Richard Ashcroft starting believing the voices in his head. But do I really want to hear it all over again, 15 years after the event? Um, not really.
I suppose over in Los Angeles the pre-Britpop days of yore probably seem like an exotic, far away place where flat caps, whippets and Class A drugs all mix together in a crazy assed psychedelic swirl, much in the same way as I yearn for a Georgia front porch and a wide selection of guns — The lure of strange daze. And they're actually good at what they do. They've got the quiet vocals, the psychedelic swirl, the washes of organ and a spot on production. Maybe, if I wasn't so old and gnarly I might get more from it, but apart from a couple of songs, there wasn't anything that leapt out and commanded my attention.
The best bits are where they go a wee bit further back in time and have a bash at '60s British psychedelia, when bands weren't afraid to call themselves Dantalions Chariot and release records called Madman Running Through The Fields. Whereas, nowadays, they'd get a good thumping from the pseudo police. So when the Stevenson Ranch Davidians try to channel the three minutes when Syd Barrett wasn't a waste of air, the members actually become "A Very Good Band." So you might want to have a taste of "Let It All Go" and "Inbetween Everything," where they manage to get the right mix of whimsy and melody.
There is a place for this kind of thing as the limited success of The Polyphonic Spree and the Brian Jonestown Massacre demonstrates, but Dwayne (lead singer, rhythm guitarist and lyricist), Jessica (bassist/organist), Cary (lead guitars) and Bryan will need to up their game a bit, if they plan on being around for the long haul.Powered by Sidelines

A nice place for comfortable stay. Location is very good as all main places in kormangala are near by only. Rooms were big and spacious. Washrooms were cleaned and in good condition. Staff was courteous service was fine.
by Swifted_2013 on December 11, 2014
I stayed in the hotel for 9 days. To my surprise the price is very affordable at that location. It is very near to CBD as it in Koramangala with lots of food and shopping options just next to it. So you can work and also enjoy night life. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Don't expect a buffet style breakfast. Best is to order breakfast in the room itself. Though the food was tasty but they made 3 dishes twice a week so not much in food. A definite MUST STAY HOTEL for all business travelers if they are looking for a basic room with good amenities.

I had arranged to stay at Solitaire for 3 months during an international rotation for my company. Two weeks into my stay they called my company to tell them that Solitaire would be closed for renovations but they would move me to a different hotel. They told my company they had talked to me and I was fine with it. The fact that I only heard about this from my assistant determined that was a lie. They never mentioned it to me and the fact that they would accept a long term reservation that they knew could not be honored is a dishonest way of running a business. Over the next couple weeks they refused to tell me where they would move me. I was treated with contempt just for trying to understand where I would be staying. I felt unwelcome and unsafe being dependent on these people. When I told them I wanted to leave they refused to let me check out "until they cleared it with my company" first. The worst experience I've ever had with hotel management. For your own safety stay away.

Excellent, breakfast may be improved. Very good to stay along with family & friends. All the important places are very nearby. Take smart phone with you to find out the hotel without any difficulty in odd hours

Apple iCloud
Apple iCloud :
Apple introduces iCloud, a set of free new cloud services that work seamlessly with applications on your Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or Personal Computer to automatically and wirelessly store your content in Apple iCloud and automatically and wirelessly push it to all your mobile devices. When anything changes on one of your mobile devices, all of your devices are wirelessly updated almost instantly. "Apple iCloud keeps your important information and content up to date across all your devices. All of this happens automatically and wirelessly, and because Apple iCloud is integrated into our apps you don't even need to think about it - it just works," said Steve Jobs.
Apple iCloud
The former MobileMe services; Contacts, Calendar and Mail-all are completely re-architected and rewritten to work seamlessly with Apple iCloud. Users of Apple iCloud can share calendars with friends and family and the inbox and mailboxes are kept up-to-date across all iOS devices and personal computers. Thanks to Apple iCloud purchased iOS apps via the Apple App Store and Apple iBookstore will now be downloaded to all your mobile devices, not just the device it was purchased on. In addition, the Apple App Store and Apple iBookstore now let you see your purchase history, and simply tapping the Apple iCloud icon will download any apps and books to any iOS device (up to 10 devices) at no additional cost.
Apple iCloud Storage
Apple iCloud Storage seamlessly stores all documents created using Apple iCloud Storage APIs, and automatically pushes them to all your mobile devices. When you change a document on any device, Apple iCloud automatically pushes the changes to all your devices. Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps already take advantage of Apple iCloud Storage. Users get up to 5GB of free storage for their mail, documents and backup-which is more amazing since the storage for music, apps and books purchased from Apple, and the storage required by Apple Photo Stream doesn't count towards this 5GB total. Users of Apple iCloud will be able to buy even more storage, with details announced when Apple iCloud ships this fall.
Apple iCloud Backup
Apple iCloud Backup automatically and securely backs up your iOS devices to Apple iCloud daily over Wi-Fi when you charge your Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Backed up content includes purchased music, apps and books, Camera Roll (photos and videos), device settings and app data. If you replace your iOS device, just enter your Apple ID and password during setup and Apple iCloud restores your new device.
Apple iCloud Photo Stream service
Apple iCloud's innovative Photo Stream service automatically uploads the photos you take or import on any of your devices and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices and computers. So you can use your Apple iPhone to take a dozen photos of your friends during the afternoon baseball game, and thank to Apple iCloud the pictures will be ready to share with the entire group on your Apple iPad (or even Apple TV) when you return home. Apple Photo Stream is built into the photo apps on all iOS devices, iPhoto on Macs, and saved to the Pictures folder on a PC. To save space, the last 1,000 photos are stored on each mobile device so they can be viewed or moved to an album to save forever. Apple iCloud will store each photo in the cloud for 30 days, which is plenty of time to connect your devices to Apple iCloud and automatically download the latest photos from Photo Stream via Wi-Fi.
Free Apple iCloud services
Apple is ready to ramp Apple iCloud in its three data centers, including the third recently completed in Maiden, NC. Apple has invested over $500 million in its Maiden data center to support the expected customer demand for the free Apple iCloud services.
Apple iCloud Price & Availability
The Apple iCloud beta and Apple Cloud Storage APIs are available immediately to iOS and Mac Developer Program members. Apple iCloud will be available this fall concurrent with iOS 5. Users can sign up for Apple iCloud for free on an Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 5 or a Mac running Mac OS X Lion with a valid Apple ID. Apple iCloud includes 5GB of free cloud storage for Mail, Document Storage and Backup. Purchased music, apps, books and Photo Stream do not count against the storage limit. Using Apple iCloud with a PC requires Windows Vista or Windows 7; Outlook 2010 or 2007 is recommended for accessing contacts and calendars.

Oak Creek —The Police Department is temporarily housing a small domestic bird that was turned in by an unidentified Racine county man who discovered it near the fishing pier at We Energies on Tuesday, July 1, when it landed on his shoulder.
According to dispatchers, this is the first house bird that has been turned into the police department, which works with Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission and other shelters to return stray domestic animals to their owners.
No identifying information about the bird can be printed or photographed because officers want the bird's true owner to prove his or her ownership and describe the bird accurately.
Exotic birds that are held as pets can range in value from $20 to $800, with some worth as much as $1,600, according to Mary Zimmer, office manager at the Center for Avian Rehabilitation and Education.
The number of stray birds reported to CARE increases dramatically in the summer, Zimmer said.
While domestic bird owners are encouraged to clip their bird's wings, which prevents them from flying, many opt not to. Some do what Zimmer called a "vanity clip," which makes the wing look prettier but does not prevent flight like a traditional clipping.
People may also be negligent of open windows or assume their bird will not fly away, Zimmer added.
"I just think people don't think it's going to happen to them," said Karen Sparapani, executive director of MADACC. "People should always have a plan B because the unexpected always does happen," .
In 2013, CARE housed 367 birds. In 2012, 404 birds were brought in.
Kim Bogadi from the Community Resource Bureau at the Oak Creek Police Department said it is very common for bird owners who no longer want to own their pet to release it into the wild and assume the bird is going to survive because they can fly. But that is not the case.
"Birds usually do die outside because they are not outside birds anymore," Zimmer said. They don't know what to eat because we put food in a bowl for them."
Local shelters also see a spike in stray animals during the Fourth of July weekend.
"Generally, when the ground rattles with fireworks and thunder, a lot of dogs are afraid of loud noises and are scared and try to run," Sparapani said.
During July 3 and July 4, 21 cats and 21 dogs were admitted to MADACC.
"It's not expensive to put a tag on a dog's collar, but it is expensive to redeem them from animal control," Sparapani said. If animals do have an identification tag, they can be brought right back home.
Birds can be banded, but many owners don't think to call MADACC if their bird goes missing, Sparapani said.
"People can get the word out," she added. "Calling us is a good thing to do."

Cat Lovers Outraged as Feline Colony on Plumb Beach Gets Closer to Demolition Date
Cat lovers are hissing back at the National Park Service's plans to dismantle a colony of stray felines in Plumb Beach, Brooklyn. According to a sign first spotted by Sheepshead Bites, the NPS will begin demolition work on the habitat that 25 strays call home on Friday, June 13th. Animal protection advocates also fear that city workers will go in and mass-euthanize the feral population in addition to just taking apart their dwellings.
The cats have been known to live quietly in the area for over 11 years. In that time, they've survived harsh winters and even Hurricane Sandy.
While the Plumb Beach cats technically do not have owners, the colony has attracted caretakers who have fed, vaccinated, and neutered 25 or so kitties. Now those same feline aficionados are crying foul saying that the park service is planning to euthanize the animals. Animal protection groups, meanwhile, are fighting for more time to relocate the group of feral cats.
RELATED: Adorable Kittens Shut Down Subway in Brooklyn
Despite all this, park officials claim the cat colony is prohibited on federal property and that work has to be done to protect the native species of small mammals, shorebirds, and reptiles in the area. Plumb Beach is just part of the much larger 26,000 acre Gateway National Recreation Area. The wide expanse of federal parkland is host to multiple species of migratory birds and other wildlife including horseshoe crabs.

Although the park service is somewhat justified, we hope the cats will be properly carted to an animal shelter or adopted soon. Animal advocates also are asking for help to contact the Parks Department's biologist Doug Adamo at (718)-354-4510 or firstname.lastname@example.com to reconsider demolishing the colony or to give volunteers more time to safely relocate the colony.

Not The Reflection
Can I tell you a story? It's about this boy you see; you might even call this a true story. This boy has about everything you could imagine, friends, a perfect family, a perfect life, a perfect house, he's got it all.
Or does he? The boy walks down the street and people are always so nice to him. They would give him gifts; they would tell him what a nice and loving family he has. He would just simply smile and nod, for he knew what nobody else did.
He knew what really happened, he knows who everyone really was, and he knew how he really was. Sure he had everything you might say, or did he really only have objects that could be taken away and replace in the blink of an eye?
During his walk he would see this girl, a really shy and sweet young lady. She would always be in a crowd of other people who, shall we say not a good influence. Every time the Boy would pass the crowd of people, he'd lock eyes with the girl for a few seconds. Those few seconds, they were the only times he felt loved. Just for those few seconds, he had everything.
Now towards the end of his walks, the boy would walk to the outskirts of town to a pond in the middle of some trees. Every day he would look into the pond hoping that he would see himself. Instead he found something quite different.
He saw a monster, he saw a person screaming in pain. He saw the scars from cuts on their arms, he saw a person staring at a girl and falling in love. Not because of how she looked, he knew she was pure and golden, but that love never ever came. He heard the harsh words of a person's family; he felt the force of being slammed into the wall, he felt the worthlessness, the hopelessness, the self-hate, the fear, the anger, the feeling of rejection. What he saw was his true self, and he screamed.
The reflection in that pond showed his true colors. He wasn't a boy who had all this stuff; he wasn't a boy who had love. He is a boy who has lost everything.
Maybe we should take a walk sometime, and find a place to really look at ourselves. Maybe we're no different from that boy, we may even be worse. The only hope of ever getting out is belief. Belief, hope, something everyone is prepared to fight for. If we don't fight, we will all drown in that pond, never to see the sunlight, or the smile on our lover's faces. Don't break your body even though your heart may be broken, believe.

hey Austin, i decided to stalk your page until my breaks over.
the reflection part was really scary to tell you the truth, i could see everything in my mind and i felt like i was stuck in a horror movie. sept, i wasn't the main character. i started crying, it was terrifying.
i really liked it though, haven't read all your works but i think this is one of my favorites.
i liked the hope at the end, you always leave me with hope at the end. thats what i like so much about your writings, theres always hope.
Very well written. Thankfully we all can change!

Asus 90LMGC051L010O1C- ASUS MX239H LED monitor with No 23" 1920 x 1080 FullHD AH-IPS 5ms 2xHDMI, VGA speakers black, silver- Full HD AH-IPS LED display with 178° wide-view angle in frameless design for edge-to-edge brilliance
- ASUS SonicMaster Technology, co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® for premium immersive audio
- Featuring dual HDMI ports for multi device connections
- Good Design Award Winner for its ultra-slim, ergonomic design with sturdy sundial-inspired stand
Inspired by millennia of artistic legacy, the new Designo MX Series sports an elegant and precision-crafted sundial design. The MX239H features an edge-to-edge frameless panel with 178° ultra-wide viewing angle AH-IPS A technology for incredible visuals. In addition, built-in ASUS SonicMaster technology, co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®, delivers immersive premium audio performance. The 2012 Good Design Award-winning ultra-slim and ergonomic design can be tilted to provide you highly comfortable viewing experiences, while dual HDMI offers extensive connectivity options.
Subtle & elegant design
Incredibly subtle but sophisticated
ASUS Designo MX Series displays sport ultra-slim profiles with MX239H measuring just 14.5mm at its thinnest point thereby minimizing desk space requirements. In addition, the MX Series presents an edge-to-edge frameless screen with bezel thickness of just 0.8mm. This subtle but elegant design is further accentuated by a sundial-inspired stand which provides a sturdy base for the monitor. MX Series design has already garnered accolades at the 2012 Good Design Awards.
Vivid, lifelike visuals
The latest IPS technology with 178° wide-view angles
Designo MX239H features a 16:9 aspect ratio LED-backlit AH-IPS A panel with a 178° wide-view angle that minimizes color shift on both horizontal and vertical planes to ensure quality visuals from almost any direction. AH-IPS is the latest in IPS technology delivering improved color accuracy plus increased energy efficiency.
Built tough and gamer-centric comfortable
Tracer Free Technology improves the response time of ASUS monitors, eliminating ghosting and tracers during video playback. It does this by controlling voltage levels, resulting in 5ms response time so MX239H provides fluid and clear video playback with silky-smooth motion during gameplay.

This ASUS-exclusive audio technology combines advanced hardware and software to refine every acoustic detail in pristine quality to deliver crystal clear, true-to-life surround sound reproducing richer and more distinct vocals at a wider frequency range and louder volumes.
Greater and smoother output with bigger speakers
Considering its slender form factor, adding powerful audio to MX239H presented a challenge. Nonetheless, the display features up to 32mm diameter speakers for greater and smoother sound impact with better bass performance. It also offers a resonance chamber of up to 100cc, expanding monitor sound range to new extremes.
A built-in amplifier powers speaker sound reproduction, just like a car engine with more horsepower means better performance can be attained. MX239H uses up to 5W amplifiers per channel, with speakers embedding large rare earth magnets to generate more powerful and striking sound.
Audio by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®
ASUS MX239H delivers outstanding images and stunning graphics that deserve superior sound to complete multimedia experiences whether watching movies, gaming, or listening to music. It features state-of-the-art audio technology from Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®, with great sound packed into its slim form factor to create incredibly engaging sound quality. This means no investment in additional speakers is needed.
Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® technology on MX239H has been developed specifically for compact media products to create excellent sound even in confined spaces. The superior sound quality is a result of innovative technology, ample power delivery, and months of optimizing and fine-tuning by audio engineers. Typically, powerful sound equals high energy consumption, but thats not the case with MX239H. The screens embedded Class D MobileSound 3 technology is highly energy efficient, converting up to 92 % of power input to useful audio output.
Dual HDMI for extensive connectivity
The Designo MX239H supports Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolutions and has dual HDMI and D-sub VGA input ports to ensure compatibility with a variety of multimedia devices including Blu-ray disc players, game consoles, and digital cameras to enrich users entertainment experience.

Zero Down Payment Car Loans Helpful For Purchasing New Cars
Can I get car loans with zero down payments? Well, you can. The process of getting approved for zero down payment car financing is challenging as lenders expect buyers to meet some basic approval requirements.
Visit: http://www.auto-
Some aspects of borrower's financial side play major role in increasing and decreasing his chances of getting one of the best car loans with zero down payments. Before approving car loan applications, lenders do assess creditworthiness of an applicant by viewing his credit report. A positive credit score or good credit rating could enable borrower to take advantage of affordable interest rates but at the same time, if borrower's credit record is bad, lenders will most probably consider him a high-risk borrower who is more likely to cause default on the loan. Hence, they might keep the rates higher. Besides, if one is unable to provide a down payment, he might be expected to have sufficient income and provide lender a type of security such as cosigner with good credit score and collateral. 0 money down auto loans creditors have few conditions which they want borrowers to fulfill; if one satisfies lenders' expectations and can assure them that they will get back their money, he may not find it that difficult to qualify for a loan at desired rates. If one has zero cash for down payment, he could still get more favorable loan terms from lenders if he has a vehicle to trade in or even if he buys a brand new automobile with a rebate.
Over and above, as a part of assessing applicant's financial status, financial institutions or creditors also ask for submission of few documents including credit report, latest pay stubs, employment proof, income tax documents, a proof of residence, valid driving license and the like. Applicant should read all these documents to verify accuracy of the information given inside, before submitting them to lender. His task does not end here. To find one of the most favorable and affordable car loan with no down payment products, he should begin his online search for the same. On the internet, he will get useful information on numerous offers that carry competitive rates and terms, and lenders who provide various types of rebates as well. Researching some options online will help one to locate the best car loan program for himself. But to know the correct method of applying for a car loan with no down payment and learning lenders' approval expectations, it is recommended to seek assistance of an online car finance agency. Such agencies also hires competent experts of the industry who specialize in helping borrowers get easily qualified for affordable car loans, irrespective of their financial circumstances. For more information, you may visit one of the premier car finance service providers of the industry Auto-financed.
