"I'm really pleased with what Dunja's done for my eyebrows and my lips. I was concerned that it might be a painful experience, but it was very tolerable to my surprise. It's been a really liberating experience. I can get up now, and go to the gym without worrying of my makeup smudging and smearing. After years of damaging my eyebrows from threading, I've found a means of retrieving them, and being proud of them again and I'm really pleased. I have always wanted a slightly fuller lips and Dunja's 3D® treatment did just that. I highly recommend these permanent makeup treatments as I always feel wonderfully groomed and cared for."

Yeats talked about the Irish people and their abiding sense of tragedy, but had he looked a little further he would have found even a deeper resonance in Mayo, or more specifically, in Mayo football.
I think as a county, we've grown accustomed to the heartbreak and to waking up on that wicked Monday morning with a hung-over heart and a belly full of recycled disappointment. It has yet to stop us dreaming though, and amid the moans of, "That's it, I'm never setting foot in Croker again", we all know deep inside that if by some divine miracle Mayo were to play in the All-Ireland final again tomorrow, the county would not be able to resist the temptation of daring to dream just one more time.
We hoped it would be different this time though. The word from home through the channels of Skype and the internet was that there was a relatively calm pre-match build up with none of that intoxicating hype and speculation we had grown accustomed to in previous years. Of course there was excitement, Aer Lingus tickets sales sprung to life, red and green flags began appearing in even the strangest of places and Dublin hotels were bombarded with desperate pleas for reservations but there too was a sense of composure, a feeling inspired by James Horan's quietly confident demeanour and the sense that maybe this was finally our time.
It was different in the sense that we had one solid functioning unit, not made from any one superstar but featuring the solid contributions of every team member. The players and management spoke of continuous improvement and even after the loss of All-Star forward Andy Moran, it seemed that we were heading in a very positive direction towards finally bridging a 61 year gap.
The media pundits spoke of Donegal as an irresistible, undefeatable outfit with a hunger that would not be matched by any other team in the country, but while these were undoubtedly true sentiments, the only thing that really separated the sides was Mayo's inability to manage the fundamentals of the game in the opening minutes, and Donegal's capacity to punish them for it.
Mayo fans watched in every corner of the world, from New York to Melbourne, desperately wishing that somehow their red and green brigade would manage to claw back that early two goal lead. Try they did, and admirably they put up a huge fight, but it was a critical two goal advantage just too big to dismantle and ultimately the catalyst for Sam McGuire's journey back to Donegal.
The 23rd of September, win or lose is a special day regardless, and while it's hard as a Mayo person to stomach another All-Ireland final defeat, it's still an occasion that resurrects the Irishness in your soul and the magic of the GAA. Mc Clean Avenue was like a miniature Drumcondra on Sunday morning awash with jerseys, flags and county colors. All that was missing really was an aul Dublin lady on the corner of Katonah selling hats, scarves and headbands for €2.
Truth be told, the Mayo-Donegal pairing roused a greater sense of endearment from the general public than say a Dublin-Kerry final and it added to the emotion and excitement of the day. In the end it transpired to be a truly epic contest between two genuine football crazy counties. They will be partying hard up the hills of Donegal for the next year and more power to them, they deserve it as much as any. Us Mayo folk will carry on regardless and hope the heartbreak subsides in time for next year's journey.
To win just once, would definitely be enough.

Lump sum or monthly payment? How to make the right choice for your pension
Retirement is on the horizon, and you have amassed a hefty sum of money in your pension plan. Now comes the big question: Do you take a lump-sum payment or a monthly distribution?
While the knee-jerk reaction is to take the money and run, especially if you are looking at a check for several hundred thousand dollars or more, there are several factors you should consider before you decide.
Here's a step-by-step guide to making a smart choice.
Step 1. Do the math. How much monthly income will a lump sum provide over the next 20, 25, 30 years? (See the Interest.com story on the 4% rule.) How long would it take for your total monthly income to surpass the lump sum? Remember the monthly payments are for life, so if you are in good health and anticipate being around for another 30 or 35 years, you could benefit from taking monthly payouts.
Step 2. What are your plans? Are you thinking of starting a business? Traveling around the world? A large sum of money can allow you to do some of the things on your bucket list. Taking more now and pushing back your Social Security is one way to balance things out a little bit. But, if you have more modest plans and your monthly pension checks will cover your lifestyle needs, you may opt for the simplicity of ongoing payments.
Step 3. How well do you manage money? Be honest, if someone hands you a check for $800,000, will half of it be gone in three years? The advantage of a monthly check is that someone else manages your money for you. The disadvantage is that you have less liquidity, but for some people that is a good thing.
Step 4. How well can you invest the money? Before you take a lump-sum payout, you need to know where you'd put it. That's a particularly tough decision to make right now. CDs are a safe choice, but interest rates are pathetically low. Most retirees aren't comfortable with the stock market's extraordinary volatility over the past decade. And don't forget the old rule of thumb: Subtract your age from 100, and that's the maximum percentage of your savings you should have in stocks. So if you're 65, you shouldn't invest more than 35% of a lump-sum payout in stocks, no matter what.
Step 5. Consider inflation. While inflation has been very low in recent years, it's a factor to consider. Are your monthly payments adjusted for inflation? If not, you could do better with a lump sum, but again, you'll need to beat a typical 3% annual inflation rate.
"It's a personal decision depending on the financial needs of the person, according to David Abuaf, CFA and chief investment officer of Hefty Wealth Partners in Auburn, Ind.
While Abuaf says he's seen more people taking a lump sum in recent years because their net worth declined during the recession, he wouldn't be surprised to see more people who are concerned about the long term start taking the non-lump-sum payments.

Recently I've started listening to my husband's radio station "CHOM 97.7", its a classic rock station and is quite a soft and mellow change from my normal listenings to one of CHOM's sister stations with its barrage of new music, repeative riffs and bass-filled banging tunes. My ears have stopped ringing and I am finally hearing the music.
I spend a lot of time stuck in traffic, so people watching has become an afternoon hobby.
I have discovered over my time of Montreal traffic people watching that there is a secret society, a club if you will, among fellow "stuck in traffic-ers". This club – similar to the Free Masons – is known, but never spoken of. Perhaps a fight club with out the fighting. (Just don't tell Edward Norton I've broken the first law of fight club, please).
CHOM has shown me the light, and let me enter this secret yet widely visable club.
I've often questioned what the heck people are singing to when in the car – and now I know. Its CHOM.
Over the past several weeks, I have been conducting rigerous experiments to confirm these findings.
At every stop light and stop sign. On the 40 past St Jean in the Gridlock, or on Des Anciens Combattants Boulevard in Ste Anne de Bellevue in stopped traffic jams I see them, the members of the secret society belting out tunes, jamming on air guitars, and keeping beat on steering wheel drums.
I thought this station that keeps all armchair (or driver's seat) disc jockeys in unison was a fable, a story. . .
I see CHOM listeners everywhere. They are many. . . .
I've let my hair down, and tuned my air guitar. . . . .I'm in the Spirit to Rock!
And Revisionist history is pretty good, too.
(For those that want to listen to CHOM live on their computers, simply log onto their website, and choose listen now!)

The thought of Alzheimer's disease does not cross your mind unless it affects someone you love. Most of the information people have today about it is through fabricated sources like news, and its different portrayals in movies and on TV. In the recent years, several myths about this disease have come into the picture that has led to many misinterpretations. Alzheimer's is a progressive and degenerative brain disease that can affect anyone. This article is an effort to refute such myths that come in the way of our ability to understand and help people suffering from this condition.

Revels receives award
Wofford chair and associate history professor Tracy Revels was honored last month as the recipient of the Beacon Society award for innovative utilization of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories in an educational environment. She will never forget the first time she was introduced to her favorite fictional character.
"My love of the Sherlock Holmes stories began when I was in the fifth grade," she says. "I had an aunt who was a reading teacher who would leave a lot of her books behind. I found a seventh grade reading book that had the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' in it. About midway through the story I thought 'I wonder if this is what's going to happen in the end?' Well, it was what happened in the end and I felt pretty smart for figuring it out."
"I was hooked. I started reading the canon of Holmes stories throughout middle school and high school. Then I started collecting pastiche novels, which are novels written in the Sherlock Holmes style but by other people."
The Star Trek and Star Wars conventions of today had predecessors that still exist. Only instead of dressing up as aliens and talking space/time theories, 'Sherlockians' discuss something much more elementary.
"For years the oldest American 'scion societies' have gotten together to read the canon, or the collective writings, of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about Sherlock Holmes," says Revels. "The original society is called The Baker Street Irregulars. It's a very elite club. You have to be nominated and voted in."
"Fortunately for the rest of us there are scion societies who emulate the Baker Street Irregulars but are open to everybody. The Beacon Society is one of these groups. Their special goal is to introduce young people to Sherlock Holmes, and they give an award every year to someone who they feel has done good work in terms of teaching about Sherlock Holmes."
Revels was that person this year.
"It's a very big honor," she says. "The best thing about it to me is that it means Wofford gets a year subscription to the Baker Street Journal, which contains all sorts of scholarly works on Sherlock Holmes. This will allow me to make assignments in it."
Revels teaches a humanities class on Holmes almost every year. The only exceptions come every four or five years when she teaches an Interim course (like this year). It's a labor of love for Revels, who uses modern examples of the Holmes influence on our culture.
"Many TV shows owe a debt to Sherlock Holmes," she says. "Just like today the popular show 'House' is modeled on Sherlock Holmes. The creator of 'House' has acknowledged that it is basically Sherlock Holmes in a hospital. House…Holmes. Dr. Wilson…Dr. Watson. House lives in apartment 221. Holmes lived at 221 Baker Street. And they both share a cantankerous personality.
"I also really want my students to know more about Sherlock Holmes than what they see in some advertisement or old movie their grandparents might have watched. Most people think they know Sherlock Holmes, but when you read the stories, you find out that a lot of the things people identify with him were added in later. To get to the true character, you have to go back to the original stories. I want my students to see how the stories fit into and were a reflection of the world and time in which they were written."
And who knows? Maybe one or more of her students will follow in her footsteps. One of them recently went with her to a meeting of the Survivors of the Gloria Scott, the scion society that Revels belongs to in Greenville. The student liked it so much she decided to join.
"When you read the stories and you really get into them, what you have given yourself is a secret language," says Revels. "If you go to New York City, there's a scion society there. Or Chicago, or any other large city in America or even overseas. You have a group of instant friends and associates anywhere you go in the world. It's a gift you are giving yourself long after you leave Wofford College."
And for Revels, it has led to a well deserved reward.

The chief executive of New Britain's Stanley Black & Decker, John F. Lundgren, took home $38.9 million in 2014, up from $28.6 million the year before.
In a report filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company attributed the increase in part to a modest increase in salary and incentive pay but mostly to long-term pay such as stock options and shares awards.
Lundgren's direct pay included $348,587 in other compensation, a catch-all that includes company retirement plan contributions, insurance, a company car, financial planning, an annual physical, the company's product program, and maintenance of a home-security system.
In addition to his take-home pay for 2014, Lundgren, 63, earned stock awards and options of $7.3 million, the value of which will ultimately depend on how well the company's stock performs.
Stanley Black & Decker's stock price increased 19 percent in 2014, while the broader S&P 500 index rose 12 percent.
The hand tools and security company awarded special compensation to certain executives to lower the risk that they might leave the company.
In December, Chief Financial Officer Donald Allan Jr. and Senior Vice President of Tools and Storage Jeffrey D. Ansell received 30,000 shares of restricted stock, valued then at $2.9 million. Senior Vice President of Emerging Markets Jaime A. Ramirez received 10,000 shares of restricted stock, valued at $956,100.
The executives gain access to the shares in five years.
The Hartford Courant calculates compensation as the sum of salary, bonuses, value gained on the exercise of stock options, and the vesting of stock awards, plus other forms of direct pay.
The numbers were reported in an annual proxy filing, which outlines proposals that shareholders will vote on at the company's meeting in mid April. These include the election of directors, approval of an accounting firm, and approval of the company's executive compensation, on an advisory basis.
The filing also included the compensation of other named executives:
Chief Operating Officer James M. Loree made $15.6 million in 2014, plus $4.3 million in stock and option awards.
Chief Financial Officer Allan made $7.6 million in 2014, plus $4.4 million in stock and option awards.
Senior Vice President Ansell made $7.7 million in 2014, plus $4.4 million in stock and option awards.
Senior Vice President Ramirez made $2.2 million in 2014, plus $1.9 million in stock and option awards.

Every family has one, and in my family it's Uncle Pete. You know the type - a negative attitude about everything, thinks others are taking advantage of him, complains about anything and everything, and on and on it goes.
My Uncle Pete was married, but just barely. Even his wife didn't really like him and stayed with him more out of habit than anything else. The two of them largely lived off of her pension and when she died, he had nowhere to go and nothing much to live on.
After listening to him moan and groan about "poor, poor pitiful me," his brother William finally decided to take him in. So Pete moved in and, as time progressed, things went from bad to worse. Whenever the family gathered around the kitchen table to talk about family finances and how they were going to make their meager funds stretch to take care of all the people in the family, Pete contributed less, took out more, and complained louder than anyone in the family.
Finally, one day, in utter frustration, William told him to "shut up, ante up or pack up." It was not a pleasant scene. Eventually, even Uncle Pete realized how unreasonable he was, and though he did not pack up or ante up, he did eventually have the decency to essentially shut up and go sit and sulk quietly in the corner - and it was a lot more pleasant for everyone.
And so you ask, why the heck should we care about my Uncle Pete? Well, Pete was a pain in the posterior to our family, and it seems to me our state's Republican politicians are becoming a pain in the very same place to this family we call the United States.
We as a national family are going through tough times. We can all argue about who is to fault and who did what to whom, but that really doesn't matter. Fact is, we as a nation have got to come together as a family and solve our problems and move on to the better times and the better lives that we all want and deserve.
During the government shutdown, the politicians in Washington could find enough money to keep the House and Senate gym open but not enough to pay funeral costs and other expenses for our soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
It makes you want to throw up.
And South Carolina's Republican politicians, like Uncle Pete, seem to be among those that are complaining the loudest and taking the most extreme positions. Our former senator, Jim DeMint, had his extremist buddies whipped up like suicide bombers, ready to figuratively blow themselves up, kill lots of innocent bystanders and bring the whole house of government down into a pile of rubble - all in the name of radical ideological purity. (And lest you think I'm being too harsh, remember, it was one of their own colleagues, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California, who labeled the whole lot of them "lemmings with suicide vests.")
And secondly, they are acting like my Uncle Pete about the money as well. As our nation's family gathers in Washington to sort out our family finances, we in South Carolina are always pounding the table and demanding (and getting) more! For every dollar of tax money we send in, we get $1.35 in return. Moreover, like Pete, we in South Carolina are hugely dependent on the rest of the family for support - 36 percent of our state's budget comes from the federal government.
With Democrats and Republicans in Washington, as with any family, there is always plenty of blame to go around among all the family members. But there is always an Uncle Pete -one person who is carping and complaining the most and generally acting like a selfish jerk.
But unlike my family, no one can really tell South Carolina Republicans to "shut up, ante up or pack up." Although there are some in both South Carolina and Washington who would like to see our state "pack up" and leave the Union, it's not really a viable option. We tried that once and it turned out pretty badly for everyone, especially South Carolina.
When it comes to "ante up," we in South Carolina are a relatively poor state and we don't have lots of extra cash lying around. So that only leaves one option: "Shut up."
And I think that's a pretty good message for South Carolina Republicans in Washington. When you are complaining more than anyone, taking more than is your share and other decent folks have decided they just don't want to associate with you, then maybe you should shut up and go sit quietly and sulk in the corner.
There is some extra room over there beside my Uncle Pete.

As the various Apple v. Samsung and Samsung v. Apple cases wend their ways through the courts systems we're beginning to see how it will all play out. And in one of those cases the terms seem to be really quite harsh on Samsung. Like, they'll have to post a bond of 88% of the import value of certain equipment that violates the Apple patents. The reason that's hard is because such a sum is obviously hugely more than any compensation that Apple could ever hope to claim. Foss Patents has the essentials of the likely judgement from the ITC:
If the U.S. trade agency affirms the judge's findings of violations (which the ITC staff supports across the board) and adopts his recommended remedies, Samsung faces the following draconian combination of sanctions:
a U.S. import ban that would enter into effect after the 60-day Presidential review period following a final ITC decision,
a simultaneous cease-and-desist order that would prohibit the sale of any commercially significant quantities of the imported infringing accused products in the United States (this remedy was denied against HTC), and
the requirement to post a bond of 88% of the value of all mobile phones, 32.5% of the value of all media players, and 37.6% of the value of all tablet computers found to infringe Apple's patents-in-suit during the Presidential review period.
As I say, that really is harsh. Samsung argued that a 4.9% royalty rate would be more appropriate as the bond required. For that's more like what Apple might gain as a payment on any patent violating imports.
Yes, it's true that Samsung can purchase such a bond from a bank, paying a few percent of the amount for that bond. But it's still a harsh tying up of cashflow.
What makes it rather worse to my mind is that the patents which Samsung is held to have violated have, on a temporary basis at least, been over turned by the USTPO. So they're being told to file a bond against imports of things that might not even violate any patents at all.
And quite why a company of Samsung's size and credibility is being told to file such a bond is beyond me. OK, I can understand it if it were me, or you perhaps, importing things. If we were told to pay up we might just disappear, or go bankrupt. Clearly and obviously not something that Samsung is about to do: so why insist on a bond at all?
I suppose the saving grace in all of this is that it is taking so darn long. The actual products which were found to be in violation of the Apple patents are soon to be withdrawn from the market anyway. Just entirely normal obsolescence: the new products contain workarounds of most if not all of the Apple patents.

Cliftonville goalkeeper Conor Devlin guilty of assault
An Irish league footballer has been convicted of a nightclub assault on a rival player.
Cliftonville goalkeeper Conor Devlin, a former Manchester United reserve player, knocked out Jim O'Hanlon with a single punch.
He reacted after the Glentoran winger repeatedly pulled on Devlin's beard, Belfast Magistrates Court heard.
The 22-year-old was fined £400 and ordered to pay a further £400 in compensation.
His lawyers said Devlin, of Hightown Rise, Newtownabbey, would appeal against his conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
'Friendly banter'
The two footballers gave conflicting accounts of the incident at a nightclub in Belfast's Odyssey complex in January.
Both men had been on nights out after their Belfast-based teams played in separate Irish Cup matches.
O'Hanlon told the court he had joined up with Devlin's group through mutual friends.
The Glentoran player said he had stroked the goalkeeper's beard once or twice in "friendly banter" but was told to stop it.
"I didn't feel as if there was any aggression being shown or anything that would lead to what happened," he said.
"I don't remember anything else from that night - the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital. I was covered in blood and had injuries to the eye and mouth."
He said he had required seven staples for a head wound.
A defence barrister put it to him that he had pulled or yanked his client's beard five times.
With CCTV footage of the incident played in court, the lawyer argued that O'Hanlon finally grabbed hold with both hands and came in close as if to inflict a head-butt.
"After asking you to stop a number of times, he punched you once because he didn't know where you were going with it," the lawyer said.
'Boisterous and erratic'
The court was told that after the punch, Devlin had put him into the recovery position and alerted door staff.
Devlin told the court he had taken only two drinks before O'Hanlon approached him.
He said they had never spoken before, and claimed O'Hanlon was being "boisterous and erratic".
Describing his beard as being longer and bushier at the time, he said: "All of a sudden Mr O'Hanlon approached me and went straight for my facial hair.
"He forcibly grabbed my beard and tugged it."
He said it was sore and that he kept asking the Glentoran player to stop and go away.
"The last occasion was totally different, he seemed most aggressive and grabbed with two hands," he said.
"The way he was approaching and pulling my beard I thought it would be easy for him to head-butt me.
"It all happened in a split-second. As he's standing, tensing, I thought I was going to be assaulted and I instinctively punched him once. He then fell to the floor."
Devlin told the court he believed he had done nothing wrong.
A prosecution lawyer put it to him that he had acted disproportionately and unreasonably, and could instead have simply pushed him away.
After hearing all evidence, the judge convicted Devlin of the charge.
The goalkeeper sat with his head in his hands, as the judge imposed a fine and compensation.
One of the Irish League's most high-profile players, Devlin signed for Manchester United as a 16-year-old and played for its reserve team.
He has also represented Northern Ireland at under-21 level and twice been called into its senior squad.

You might be thinking those books are there just for show, but just like Gatsby's, they're completely real. Or maybe that's not what you were thinking at all, instead you were just thinking about how adorable that blouse is and how good it would look on you while you sip on an iced tea. Yes, I think so.
But don't daydream too far off: we'd miss you if you didn't make our launch party on July 11th. And I'm going to keep harping on about the gold slippers - so much better than glass - you could win if you follow this blog. New footwear should never be denied so click, click, click!

Twelve entrepreneurs, carefully selected from over one hundred applicants across the country, have been inducted into the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre (GCIC), a business incubator.
The inductees, constituting cohort two of the programme, were Mr Desmond Koney, a Mechanical Engineer; Mr Conrad Kaaiwula, Founder of EL Balicon Limited; Mr Isaac Brenyah, Green Entrepreneur; Dr Sachibu Mohammed, a Development Professional, Mr Lincoln Winimi Peedah, Team Executive Officer of Neat Meat Limited.
The others were Mr Sulley Amin Abubakar, Founder of Zaacoal; Ms Salma Abdulai, Founder of Unique Quality Product Enterprise; Ms Nicole Poindexter, Founder of Energicity; and Mr Charles Boatin, CEO of Arela Chemicals.
The rest were Mr Kwami Williams, Co-Founder of Moringa Connect Company Limited and Mr Philip Akaboa, a welder.
In a statement at the induction ceremony, Mrs Patricia Appiagyei, a Deputy Minister for the Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, said to lower poverty, there was the need to leverage technology.
Mrs Appiagyei said the youth should be taught the right way of doing business and that business development, like the incubation centre of the GCIC, was a critical need for our youth.
She said it was very critical for entrepreneurs to resist challenges when they come their way and to develop a strong mindset.
The Deputy Minister charged managers of the business incubator to ensure that the second cohort was successful, just like the first cohort, while expressing belief that more people would join in the near future.
She noted that the initiative was very innovative and provided entrepreneurs with the requisite skills and ability to show leadership.
Mrs Appiagyei said government would adopt GCIC's model to develop young entrepreneurs for the year 2018 under the National Entrepreneurship Programme.
She disclosed that government was developing an alternative energy mix for the country as well as legislation that would address the use of technology, science and innovation.
Furthermore, she said, plans were far advanced to commercialize research findings, noting that the era of not putting research works into good use had come to an end, citing President Akufo-Addo's's passionate determination to ensure that one per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was actually appropriated for research work," she said.
The Executive Director of GCIC, Rukaya Sanusi, in his remarks, explained that said the business incubator was designed to nurture and raise transformational business leaders whose business has the capability to go the long hall.
"As an institution, we exist to work with businesses to ensure that they are able to sustain and to manage whatever the market place throws at them and that is what GCIC is all about," she said.
The GCIC project, which is being implemented by Ashesi University, Ernst and Young, the Netherlands Development Agency and the United Nations University, aims at supporting Ghanaian entrepreneurs to develop profitable and locally appropriate solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

There are so many ways to organize your laundry room. There are several items or household that can help you doing your task in your laundry room. One example is using a laundry cart. Laundry carts make transporting clothing to and from the laundry area a lot easier, in many cases. They may not work well if the laundry can only be accessed by a stairway, thick carpeting, or rough outdoor path, but otherwise tend to work well in houses with the laundry room on the same floor. People living in apartments may also find using a laundry cart convenient, as most household laundry carts fit in elevators. Commercial laundry carts are larger ad more rugged in construction and are used by hotels and cleaning services.
One common type of household laundry cart has an open metalwork base with a fabric liner and casters or wheels on the bottom. There are handles at the top to pull the cart along the floor. Another type of household laundry cart has a metal frame with a cloth bag hanging down from it with the handle and casters attached to the frame. Household laundry carts may double as dirty clothes hampers especially when space is limited such as in apartments.

The aforementioned lower ends of the rent spectrum are those that, natch, are the most difficult to locate. Now, I don't mean to salt NB's game, but even if you snag one of the cheaper apartments, rents are rising at almost 6 percent each year, so plan on a rent hike when your lease is up. Apartments may be hard to find. The vacancy rate is low, with over 95 percent of rentals occupied. Finally, although studio apartments are the cheapest to rent, they're tiny – with an average size of 510 square feet. This makes the average studio apartment rent, $1,134, the most expensive price-per-square-footage in the OC.
Portfolio.com chose NB as "America's Wealth Center" in 2010. Money magazine chose NB as the number one city to "Live in if You're Rich and Single." Empty out the investment accounts to make the move to Newport Beach. Renting is pricey and security deposits are high.
Decide first if you want a quiet area or a partying area. These two considerations seem to determine the environments around NB, at least according to locals. Although the median age of a NB local is 41 years, there are lots of college students that either live or come here to party.
Your new neighbors in NB will most likely be single – less than half of the residents are married. He or she is employed because, although the city did feel the pinch of the recession, Newport Beach employees fared quite well. The city's unemployment rate is half that of the state of California. Not only is your new neighbor employed, she makes over $100k a year, and works in the science, tech, finance or real estate industries. You'll be relatively safe in Newport Beach, with a violent crime rate that is one-third the national average and has decreased in the past couple of years.
Although it's possible to enjoy life in Newport Beach if you're at the high end of the 99 percent, if you've got the money to rent a sweet place on the beach, life in Newport Beach just doesn't get much better.

Hey everyone.
I don't really have a fun snappy intro this week except to say this is the part of the season where teams that got out to hot starts and are very bad start to falter. And this is the part of the intro where I look kinda furtively at Vegas, which has one regulation win since Thanksgiving and isn't that so interesting all of a sudden?
But then again, the Canucks of all the teams in the world are still third in the Pacific, so sometimes up is down. I dunno.
Anyway here are some very intelligent answers to very incisive questions. Send me emails with hockey questions. I like when that happens. Thanks so much and I hope you have a great week.
Mike asks: "Why do you feel Columbus is good this year but you were so hard on them last year?"
This is one of those things that seems self-evident to me but fanboys might not have an easy time grasping the concept, so here goes:
Last season, Columbus was eighth in the league in score- and venue-adjusted corsi at a little less than 51 percent, which is good but not great. They also shot like 30 percent on the power play for the first few months of the season, and shot a little better than the league average at 5-on-5. Plus, if you dug into the numbers, it turned out they were getting caved in by good teams but crushing bad teams, which is one of those things where you go, "Ah, this is probably a lower-upper-echelon team in the league." Which put them somewhere in the 10-12 range.
They also got elite goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky, which wasn't likely to change since he's excellent when he's healthy.
That's all good, especially for a team with a lot of young talent, but people thought they were a top-5 team in the league, which they very obviously were not unless you were, again, a fanboy.
This season, however, they're currently fourth in the league in adjusted corsi, have a much more sustainable (frankly a little low) shooting percentage, aren't relying so much on the power play to win games, and Bobrovsky is still great. Their good young players have all gotten better, etc.
Basically, all the stuff they were kinda good at last year, they're better at this year. I kinda doubt they're a top-5 team in the league yet, but they're certainly trending in that direction.
Corey asks: "What one rule or concept from another sport would you bring into hockey, and why?"
I have two here that are of a piece. First, I would have goal-line technology like there is in soccer. You just determine whether the puck went across the line with a computer so reviews don't have to go into effect for questionable calls. Toronto just gives a thumbs up, or hell, just someone upstairs looks at an iPad, and off ya go.
But the big problem in hockey is how long reviews take. In baseball, there's a two-minute limit on replay reviews. I'd love to see that in hockey. If you can't come to a conclusive decision after two minutes, maybe three, then why sit there and try to nail down whose skate was where 20 seconds before a goal? Let the call on the ice stand. Just in the interest of moving the damn game along.
This is one of those things where people would say, "Wouldn't you rather have the call right?" Sure, but only up to a point. If a review takes 10 minutes or whatever, it's just too close to call definitively, and that's the sort of thing that would even out over the course of a season.
And yeah, you say, "Well what about playoffs?" Same thing for me: I'd rather get the game moving along than sit there deliberating for 20 minutes about a goal in Game 3. Whatever.
Matt asks: "What do you think of Charlie McAvoy's season so far? Is he really this good? What's his ceiling?"
I mean, he has been very obviously great, right? Best possession numbers on the team (and elite within the league, too) a pretty good amount of points, eating a huge amount of fairly tough minutes, and he's not even 20 for another two weeks? C'mon man, unreal.
But because so much of his underlying stuff really looks very good despite the tough deployment — also his pairing partner is a still-useful-but-also-40 Zdeno Chara — I'm willing to say, yeah, he really is this good. He was great in college and frankly I was a little surprised he dropped to the Bruins where he did, but there was never really anything in his track record to suggest he wouldn't be a good NHLer. Maybe not this good, and certainly not still as a teenager, but here we are.
I'd be curious to see what he looks like away from Chara in the long term, of course, just because we have so little track record with this kid, but the current underlyings (in a small sample) look like it's McAvoy propping up Chara and not the other way around.
His ceiling, then, seems like it's probably "higher-end No. 1 defender." Maybe not like a top-5 defenseman, but maybe right around there. And with so much room still to grow — he'll probably improve for another five seasons or so — it's allllllllllmooooooost a "sky's the limit" thing.
Brendan asks: "Is Brayden Schenn actually a first-line center now, or are the Blues gonna be tricked into thinking he is and then stuck without one for another 15 years when he inevitably cools off?"
Probably not a first-line center.
The numbers so far in St. Louis have been incredible and I always thought he was a little underrated in Philly, but Schenn isn't going to shoot 17 percent all year. His career high in points is 59 and he's already blown past the halfway mark on that in just 28 games. While he has certainly been great, this is a performance that is unlikely to last the full 82, let alone for the final two years of his contract after this one.
Plus, he's 26, so he's going to start slowing down a bit in all likelihood over the remainder of this contract as well. That's just how these things work.
Let's put it this way: The Blues are extremely lucky this isn't a contract year. I'm trying to think of something, though … are there any centers on the Blues' roster who got signed long term because he had a really hot start to one season and was always well-regarded anyway, but then he basically never scored like he did in that half-season ever again, and some smart, funny guy who could be a model probably if he wanted to said it might not have been that good of an idea? Doubt it!
A person with an inscrutable Twitter name asks: "If you were the GM of the new Seattle expansion team, how would your expansion draft strategy differ from Vegas'?"
Maybe I don't take 14 bottom-pairing defensemen and use a couple more spots on goalies who have played more than a handful of games at the NHL level. And maybe try to just put together a good team for the long term instead of whatever nonsense roster got cobbled together here.
But hey, they won all those games in the first 20. So obviously this is the model to follow forever.
Tristan asks: "If you had to choose between Matt Murray, Tristan Jarry, and Casey DeSmith, who would you choose?"
I'm assuming this question is from Tristan Jarry, but I gotta say, bud: Instead of these two guys only nerds like me who pay too much attention to the draft have heard of, gimme the guy with two Stanley Cups already. This was a tough one, though.
Thanks for asking.

OMG! I had a blast as Michael Jackson this year. I love the energy I feel when people see my and are amazed at what they see. All people from young and old yelled out "Michael!" to me and some even said "Michael, we love you!" I felt Michael's spirit in me as I did some dance moves to get candy since I wasn't a young kid that look too cute lol. I had to still earn some of my candy which I acquired with no problem. Also that day, my boyfriend carried a pet-sized alligator puppet around with him being that he didn't have a costume. Boy, did he scare so many people. We had so much fun. I think next time I will bring my camera to take photos and video footage lol. But either way it was still a memorable day.

Press Release
The Fisher Center and Live Arts Bard Present the World Premiere of Renowned Choreographer Tere O'Connor's Long Run, a LAB Commission
Eleanor DavisANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y.— Live Arts Bard, the residency and commissioning program of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, presents Long Run, a major new work from Tere O'Connor, one of the foremost choreographers of our day. The piece will be performed in the Fisher Center's LUMA Theater on Friday, October 13th and Saturday, October 14th at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 15th at 2 p.m. Tickets are $35: $10 for students and can be ordered online at fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at 845-758-7900.
Created with eight stellar dancers (Simon Courchel, Marc Crousillat, Eleanor Hullihan, Emma Judkins, Joey Loto, Silas Riener, Lee Serle, and Jin Ju Song-Begin), Long Run draws on the turbulent dynamics of our present to push the emotional content of O'Connor's movement style to new physical extremes, allowing time-based elements like polyrhythms, velocity, and duration to overtake the performers as they struggle to bring their bodies into a state of calm. Historical structures, beloved landscapes and imagined places converge to inspire different possibilities for human interaction. Long Run features costumes by visual artist Strauss Bourque-Lafrance, lighting by Micheal O'Connor, and sound by O'Connor.
Of O'Connor's work, the New York Times says: "At a time when many choreographers are distancing themselves from dance as the central focus of their work and instead placing themselves in a broader context of conceptually driven live art and multimedia projects, Mr. O'Connor's work remains rigorously movement-focused. Rejecting set vocabularies and abstract trappings, he uses dance and the craft of making dances as a means of investigating the passage of time and the complex welter of thoughts and emotions we experience within it."
About Tere O'ConnorTere O'Connor has been making dances for 35 years, creating more than 40 works for his company, and touring extensively nationally and internationally. His choreography finds its logic outside the realm of "translation," operating in a sub-linguistic area of expression. He views dance as a system with its own properties; an abstract documentary form that doesn't search to depict. The lenses of western culture, spoken language or dance history, often used to "interpret" dance, are subsumed into layers of the work and decentralized. In addition to a great love of movement and a deep commitment to choreographic craft and design, more philosophical urges animate the work. He has created numerous commissioned works for other dance companies including the Lyon Opera Ballet, White Oak Dance Project, and a solo for Mikhail Baryshnikov entitled Indoor Man, among others. O'Connor received a 2013 Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, is a 2009 United States Artist Rockefeller Fellow, and a 1999 Guggenheim Fellow. In 2014 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received awards from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Arts International's DNA Project, and Creative Capital. He has been honored with three New York Dance and Performance (Bessie) Awards: one for Heaven Up North in 1988, another in 1999 for Sustained Achievement, and the third for Frozen Mommy (2005). His work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, MAP Fund, National Dance Project and many others. A much sought after teacher, O'Connor has taught at universities and festivals worldwide. He is currently a Center For Advanced Studies Professor in Dance at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. He splits his time between New York and Illinois.
Long Run is co-commissioned by Live Arts Bard at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College through a Choreographic Fellowship with lead support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and NYU Skirball. This presentation of Long Run is made possible by The New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and The Cultural Development Fund. Additional funding is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts' Art Works Grant, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the research fund from University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. The development of Long Run was made possible in part by the National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron.
Live Arts Bard is made possible by the generous support of the members of the Live Arts Bard Creative Council and the Advisory Board of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, and by grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, New England Foundation for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
About the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College
Named for the late Richard B. Fisher, former chair of Bard's Board of Trustees, the Fisher Center has become an influential force in performing arts programming, earning critical acclaim for innovative productions of opera, orchestral, chamber, dance, and theater programs. The Center was designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry and distinguished acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, and has received international praise for its breathtaking architecture and superb sound.
Each summer the Fisher Center presents the Bard SummerScape festival, seven weeks of performing arts programs reflecting the life and times of the featured composer of the esteemed Bard Music Festival, now celebrating its 28th year. Fall and spring seasons include original productions, special one-night-only concerts, and touring artists from around the globe.
Live Arts Bard (LAB) is the interdisciplinary residency and commissioning program of the Fisher Center. LAB creates a community of professional artists and students who develop work side by side, inspiring one another to create and experiment. LAB provides commissioning and residency fees, studio and stage time, and production support to a wide range of professional artists and ensembles. At a time when developmental resources and commissioning funds for contemporary performing artists are increasingly scarce both nationally and internationally, LAB provides much needed support for artists who are creating groundbreaking and unconventional projects, and has supported over 50 artists and ensembles in its first five years.
The Fisher Center is also home to the Bard College Theater & Performance and Dance Programs, providing students access to exceptional theater facilities and opportunities to work with professional artists on publicly attended productions throughout the year. The Bard College Conservatory of Music and Bard College Music Program stage regular orchestral and chamber concerts. For more information go to fishercenter.bard.edu/

Mr McConnell said the draft legislation would mean official recognition for the language and place a responsibility on public bodies to promote its use.
The proposals follow concern about a fall in Gaelic speakers and criticism that government has historically failed to support it.
Speaking at the Gaelic culture festival the Royal National Mod, Mr McConnell said it was an "historic" day when ministers were fulfilling a promise to ensure the language's future.
The first minister said public bodies would have to "consider the need for a Gaelic language plan" in the services they offer.
The legislation would also put the organisation Bord na Gaidhlig (BnaG) on a legal footing in promoting the language and in coming up with a national Gaelic language plan.
He told those attending the 100th Mod in Oban that the legislation will be introduced to the Scottish Parliament in the summer.
Native languages
BnaG chairman Duncan Ferguson said his organisation would benefit from new powers.
He said: "The new duties on all public bodies in Scotland to consider Gaelic language plans for their services, when taken together with the guidelines we will issue on how to exercise those duties, gives a clear route to providing more opportunities to use Gaelic in everyday situations."
Last year an official report said that the language, which is spoken by an estimated 70,000 people, is in "severe danger" of dying out.
The proposals follow the example of other European nations who have protected their native languages through legislation.
Education Minister Peter Peacock rejected claims that the bill is a largely symbolic gesture.
'Strong support'
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, he said: "This bill is a hugely important step forward and a truly historic day for Scotland.
"I want to see Gaelic not just survive but thrive. I want to see more Gaelic speakers in Scotland and we are beginning to see signs of that already."
However, the Scottish National Party has warned that the powers in the bill do not go as far as it would have liked.
Culture spokeswoman Roseanna Cunningham said: "I'm keen to ensure that there is strong support for Gaelic education and broadcasting.
"It's important to remember that today's publication marks the start of a consultation process and I urge as many individuals and organisations as possible who are interested in the future of Gaelic to take part in the process and make their views known."

All Aoyama Hina uses is a simple pair of scissors to create the most intricately cut paper art ever! Where her work shines is her series called "Sentences" where she cuts out words to be carefully mounted on walls and framed. She not only has great eyesight but a steady hand and an enormous amount of careful patience when she works and handles her art.
She doesn't consider herself a traditionalist with her lacy look art, but she tries to approach and exceed the level of time consuming intricacy seen with needle lace making.
The Japanese born artist currently lives in France.

A wife, a mother, a reading specialist!
I graduated from Longwood College in 1997 and spent the first 14 years of my career as an educator in third and fourth grade classrooms. I loved teaching children, but my passion has always been with teaching reading.
I graduated from the University of Virginia with my Masters in Reading in May 2010 and waited patiently for the moment when I could do what I do most and help struggling readers learn to read! In 2011, that dream came true! Now I spend my days as a reading specialist working with students in Kindergarten through fifth grade as they learn to overcome reading difficulties and work to become stronger readers.
In 2012, I began my blogging journey where I highlight books, ideas, and my days in the classroom. You can visit my blog Reading Toward the Stars to learn more about my life as a reading specialist.

Learning a new language can be a massive challenge. Once you've reached adulthood, the brain is no longer the language-acquiring sponge it once was.
The key to learning a new language is to immerse yourself in that new language and, in particular, to SPEAK it. That is exactly what my wife and I did when we started our 6 month honeymoon around Central and South America.
Learning Spanish, Tico style
Spanish school in a quiet beach village: yes please!
After an initial week spent soaking up the majesty of the Costa Rican rainforest (and meeting and photographing a puma, which you can read about here), we enrolled in a Spanish school and sought accommodation with a local Costa Rican family.
The location of our Spanish school was in Dominical, a small village on Costa Rica's Pacific west coast. Along with the Spanish school and the obligatory backpacker hostels and restaurants, Dominical was home to surf shops and surf schools, making use of the magnficiant waves that crashed onto the long sandy beach.
At the time we were there (in 2007), the section of the highway running north was unpaved. Being more difficult to access had protected Dominical from some of the more aggressive tourist development in the north of the country. We found it a wonderful, relaxing environment in which to get to grips with the Spanish language.
Enrolling for the school was incredibly easy. We arrived in Dominical on the Saturday morning. At the school we met the a man who turned out to be the school's janitor, handyman, driver and general local 'fixer'. Through a combination of hand gestures and facial expressions (remember, we had no Spanish at the time), he called the school director, who thankfully spoke English, who said we could start first thing on the Monday morning.
Learn Spanish in the morning, surf in the afternoon
Comfortable lodgings, morning lessons and salsa classes
For that first weekend we stayed in a backpacker's hostel. Once we'd started at the school we were placed with a local family. Our hosts, Sara and Alvin, had two daughters, aged 13 and 2. Our room was in a small annex to their house that they had built to accommodate Spanish school students. The annex, which comprised 2 small bedrooms and a shower room, was spotless, as a result of Sara's obsession cleaning tendencies (which you need in a country with a climate so conducive to the growth of mould and mildew).
The school 'day' was actually a morning. Each morning saw 4 hours of lessons, running from 9am until 1.30pm, with two 15 minute breaks. Since the lessons were conducted entirely in Spanish and the focus was on speaking as much as possible, 4 hours is probably the most I could have withstood without my brain exploding.
Students are streamed into separate classes according to ability. Having never spoken Spanish other than what we had so far read out verbatim from the travel guide, my wife and I were placed into the beginner class with two other people.
In addition to the morning lessons, most days saw an activity held in the late afternoon or evening. These activities, which included horse riding tours, visits to local waterfalls and coffee plantations, dancing lessons and karaoke sessions, allowed students from all ability levels to mix, have fun and continue to practice their Spanish.
Why you should always live with a host family when learning a new language
Our host family provided the third element of our Spanish education.
Whilst the father, Alvin, toiled in the fields (he left the house each day at 4.30am), his wife Sara would sit with us whilst we ate our dinner (generally rice and beans, along with meat, fish or vegetables). She loved to talk and encouraged us to use our Spanish as much as possible.
As a reserved Englishman, with persistent flashbacks to a bottom-clenchingly bad French oral exam at school, having someone push me to get over my fear of speaking and making mistakes was of huge importance. It allowed me to make the most of my time in Dominical and set a solid foundation for future Spanish language learning during the rest of our trip.
Our other language-acquisition advantage in Sara's house was the presence of her two-year-old daughter. Since she, too, was learning a language (albeit her mother tongue), she tended to speak in simpler sentences and on more comprehensible subjects. Discussion with a two-year-old child is meant to be silly, so there was no embarrassment in using hand signals or the wrong words when talking to her.
The little girl also introduced us to Teletubbies in Spanish. So it wasn't all positive.
Practicing Spanish whilst taking a shower
21 days learning by a beach beats 5 years in a school classroom
We spent three weeks in total at Spanish school in Dominical (a ringing endorsement in itself, as we had only signed up for a week originally).
By the end, we were capable of holding a reasonably coherent Spanish conversation. We felt excited by using our newfound language skills and were looking forward to developing them as we travelled further through Central America.
I discovered that, as in the acquisition of most new skills, the process of learning a language was inspiring and enjoyable. It felt like I made more progress in Spanish in 21 days than I had in five years of French lessons at high school.
If you want to learn a language, immerse yourself in it
I cannot emphasise this enough. If you are serious about wanting to learn a new language, whether it is Spanish or Swahili, go to live with a family that speaks that language and don't speak English. Don't give yourself the option to slip back into your mother tongue.
And if you're looking for somewhere to learn Spanish, where the countryside is varied, verdant and beautiful, and with beaches where you can enjoy the chilled surf lifestyle, Dominical, Costa Rica comes highly recommended by me.

Encouragement is Imparted by your lifestyle
There is a story of a monk who met a beggar while on his journey to a far away land.
This beggar, beholding the approaching Monk, held out his cup expecting mercy from the minister of the cloth. The monk saw this as an opportunity to do good service and so he reached down into his pockets expecting to have some pocket change but found no money. The beggar looked at him with dismay as if to say, can you please check your pockets again. Then the monk thought about the precious stone that he had tied into his waist. It was all that he had of value. It was the sum total of all that he possessed. That was akin to him parting with his last meal.
After some thought he came to a resolve that the beggar had a greater need than he did and he gave the beggar his only possession. With a relaxed countenance he turned and continued on his journey.
After a few paces he heard the beggar in the background crying out for more. He was astounded. Finally the beggar arrived at at the place were the monk stood and said, "Give me more? The monk was bewildered. After all he had given him all he had and this man had the audacity to ask for more!
But the beggar said, "Give me some of what inspired you to give me your most precious stone!
The beggar was inspired or encouraged to change and the monk was encouraged because he had gained a far greater reward. There is no greater miracle than to see a sinner born again and a backslider restored.
In Isaiah 58:12 the prophet says, "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."
When you encourage you not only repair the breach but you are a restorer of paths to dwell in for your words goes into the deep pockets of contention that cries out for closure.
These foundations that are raised up may have been the result of situations and conditions that came upon you because of a generational curse that now stands between you and your tomorrow. These take the form of,
1. The anger that you are always fighting,
2. The inability to work with other folk; wants to sit by yourself all the way in the corner
3. The resentment you feel towards leader
4. The inability to take correction
5. The sexual sin and perversion that hinders you
6. the rejection that combat your soul that shows it's effects inwardly in the form of,
1. self hatred and guilt, Gal.3:13
2. feeling of inadequacy and inferior, Rom.12:2 "And be not conformed …"
3. anxiety, Lk.12:11, 25, Phil.4:6, "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be made known unto God", 1Peter5:7 "Casting all your care".

Henry zones out pain, Jets
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Whats a little pain for Travis Henry when you can run on adrenaline?
"Im all right," said Henry, the Buffalo Bills running back. "Now, tomorrow I might be sore. My adrenalines still flowing, but right now I feel all right. ... Today, I was just in a zone."
Showing no affects from a broken bone in his right leg and torn rib cartilage, Henry ran for a career-high 169 yards and a touchdown, lifting the Bills to a 17-6 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.
It was the latest in a string of good performances for the Jones, a third-year running back, who is showing hes second to no one on a team that has injured first-round pick Willis McGahee on the sideline.
Henry stressed that McGahee is not his motivation.
Building on last years breakout performance and keeping his teams slim playoff hopes alive are what drive him.
"Its sad to see us not where we want to be, but thats what keeps me going," Henry said. "Because I know weve got what it takes on this team."
By winning their second straight, the Bills (6-7) remain on the fringes of the playoff hunt.
The Jets (5-8) had their chances all but dimmed. And thats somewhat of a surprise for a team that had won three of its last four, including last Mondays heady 24-17 upset of Tennessee.
"Every area they outplayed us," Jets running back Curtis Martin said. "Theres no excuse. We got our butts kicked. It doesnt get worse than this."
Besides Henry, the Bills defense played a big hand in containing the Chad Pennington-led offense.
Tackle Sam Adams recorded two sacks and made seven tackles.
Buffalo limited the Jets to two field goals the first time in Penningtons 18 career starts that New York has failed to score a touchdown.
Pennington finished 15-of-29 for 155 yards and an interception. Doug Brien accounted for the Jets scoring with field goals of 17 and 40 yards. Brien also was short from 50 yards.
The game was determined at the start of the second half with Bills leading 7-3 and Henry leading the way.
Starting on their own 15, Henry carried the ball eight times for 52 yards to cap an 11-play drive with a 4-yard scamper.
The Jets had no response.
With 4:10 remaining, Pennington threw an incomplete pass intended for Anthony Becht on fourth-and-1 at the New York 33.
Then, following a fumble by Henry (his only miscue), Bills rookie cornerback Terrence McGee intercepted a pass from Pennington with 2:20 remaining.
Henrys performance came at a time in which the Bills passing attack has been severely limited.
Leading receiver Eric Moulds is unable to go deep, nursing a partially torn groin. The offensive line was missing two starters left tackle Jonas Jennings and right guard Mike Puccillo both out with toe injuries.
And then theres quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who has had dizzy spells the last two weeks. The dizziness, which subsided Wednesday, was the result of a severe blow to the head the second in consecutive weeks forcing him out of last weeks 24-7 win over the New York Giants.
Bledsoe finished 9-of-15 for 72 yards, the fewest in a complete game during his 11-year career.
It didnt matter to Bledsoe, who gladly gave way to Henry.
"Today was one of those games where I really felt like I was fortunate just to have a great seat just to watch him work," Bledsoe said.
Henry also achieved several personal accomplishments.
With 1,159 yards rushing on the season, Henry became the fourth Bill to record at least two 1,000-yard seasons. And his rushing touchdown was the 10th of the season, joining Cookie Gilchrist as the only Buffalo player rush for 10 or more in back-to-back years.
Henry also enjoyed the 13th 100-yard rushing game of his career, and fifth this season.
Not bad for someone who played his ninth game since tearing a rib cartilage in a game against Miami, and third game since sustaining a hairline fracture above his right ankle against Houston.
"Hes a beast. Thats the only thing Im saying," Bills center Trey Teague said, referring to Henry. "Hes a bad man."

A quick post for you today in the form of a raw, naturally sweetened treat; almond butter fudge. This recipe is ridiculously easy and creates minimal mess. Ideal for having as a little snack mid-afternoon for a little pick-me-up or as an after dinner treat. A couple squares of this will satisfy your sweet craving.
I have been feeling very creatively drained the last week or so and find myself wanting to learn and improve any and all of my skills that are involved with Living Alchemy; cooking, creating images, writing, nutrition. Part of this, I think, is due to just how I am as a person, having a constant need to learn more and to seek out inspiration everywhere I can. I'm a perfectionist which can be difficult when you feel the desire to share something that you have made yourself with others.
The next couple of days I plan to up my meditation and yoga practice, get as much fresh air as possible, surround myself with inspiration in all forms, be with people I love and admire, make sure I let myself rest. This is usually how I deal with feeling stuck or stagnant. To be honest, these are things that I would encourage myself and everyone else to do as much as possible in their day-to-day life regardless because it will always aid with the health of your wellbeing.
I plan on bringing more bright, sunny content your way soon!
You can top this fudge with whatever you like (or nothing at all!). I decided to go for shredded coconut and cacao nibs but I can think of a lot of things that would work here, get as creative as you like. You could also easily change-up the choice of nut butter here, try cashew, macadamia, coconut or tahini.
Almond Butter Fudge
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup coconut oil (as a liquid)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cacao powder
1/2 tsp maca powder (optional)
pinch of salt
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Line a small loaf tin and pour the mixture in evenly. Sprinkle on your toppings of choice if using. Chill in the fridge overnight to let solidify or pop in the freezer for a couple of hours if you're short on time. Once solid, cut into squares and store in the fridge.

Instead of making money, errors usually would incur loss of some kind.
But that is not always true in the un-usual world of stamp collecting.
Take for instance the Treskilling Yellow Stamp of Sweden
An error on this Swedish stamp has made it worth millions.
A Monumental Find
Sweden issued its first stamps in 1855. The five sets of these first postage stamps carried the coat of arms of Sweden with values ranging from 3 to 24 skillings. The 3-skilling stamp was printed in blue-green color and the 8-skilling stamp was printed in yellowish-orange color.
Then an error occurred that was to make history in the philatelic history.
At the time of printing more stamps, 3-skilling stamps which were normally printed in blue-green were mistakenly printed in yellow-green.
Nobody knows for certain how or when this error occurred. In fact the error was not detected until 1886 when a school-boy Georg Wilhelm Backman in Sweden was going through old correspondence in his grandfather's attic. What caught the young collector's eye was an envelope with an odd-looking 3-skilling stamp. Instead of green, this stamp was yellow in color.
Beckman may not have realized the monumental discovery that he had made but it seems certain that he understood that this was something to be preserved in his collection. His discovery paid him dividends when he was able to sell the stamp to Stockholm stamp dealer Heinrich Lichtenstein for 7 kronor that would be about 50 U.S. cents at the time.
From Cents To Millions
The stamp that first sold for less than a dollar changed hands several times increasing in value with each sale. But it came into its own when in 1894 Philipp von Ferrary paid a then whopping sum of 4,000 gulden(at that time about $3,000) .
Ferrary was a rich and avid stamp collector and his collection was reputed to be the largest in the world at that time. When a stamp collector of Philipp von Ferrary's stature paid such a big amount for the stamp there was a mad rush to find other such stamps in forgotten attics and shoeboxes.
But till now no other copy has been discovered and Beckman's original find is considered the only existing example which has come to be called Treskilling Yellow, or 3 skilling banco error of color.
The stamp remained with Philipp von Ferrary until 1920s when his collection was auctioned. From then the stamp has changed hands spiraling in value with each sale:
- A stamp collector bought it in 1926 for £1,500 to complete his collection of Sweden
- In 1928, the stamp was sold to a buyer for £2,000 where it remained for nine years.
- In 1937, King Carol II of Romania got it from London auction house H. R. Harmer for £5,000
- In 1950 it was sold for an unknown sum
- In 1984 the stamp made headlines when it was sold for 977,500 Swiss francs
- A 1990 sale realized over one million US dollars
- In 1996 it sold again for 2,500,000 Swiss francs.
- On 22 May 2010, the stamp was auctioned once again in Geneva, Switzerland. It sold for a record price though the exact amount was not revealed. The name of the buyer was also not disclosed.
The Treskilling Yellow has gone from strength to strength since it was discovered in 1886. It has maintained the record of being the priciest stamp in the world fetching higher prices with each sale.
Is it any wonder that this rare stamp has been called the "Mona Lisa of the philatelic world"?
Though the Treskilling Yellow may not look as beautiful, this piece of paper certainly is as alluring as the immortal creation of Leonardo da Vinci.

An electric blue wave filled with one-sentence poetry has embraced the cement-closed doors of abandoned houses right in the center of Lisbon. The project was born from the hands of da onda magnética, also known as [dom], a collective that is dedicated to public art and urban activism, always with a positive and constructive approach. And poetic, too.
[dom] is formed by the Catalonian Blai Mesa and the Brazilian Verônica Volpato, and their headquarters is in Barcelona. This project also featured the work of another street artist, Eko Five from Spain.
The project is meant to turn degraded and abandoned buildings in Lisbon into more beautiful and reflection-driven spots in the city. They used a similar blue to Yves Klein's created blue (IKBlue), an indigo ultramar blue that the referred artist associated to the concepts of freedom, representation and personal expression. The doors have inscribed quotes from the poems of one of the most recognized Portuguese poets, Fernando Pessoa, such as "People are us," or "Unfinished Infinit."
