The median asking price in Whitehead is $264,900, an improvement on the median three months ago which was $349,900 .
In Oct the median listed house price of $264,900 in Whitehead was an above average compared to the rest of Manitoba.
Manitoba has the seventh most amount of properties available to property investors, with Whitehead having 203th most in the province, out of a total of 253.
As one of Manitoba's many potential real estate investment neighbourhoods, Whitehead needs to be carefully researched before investing in – and remember to check especially the locations within an area before spending - the old estate agent's mantra of location, location, location has never lost its importance.
It's always hard to tell what property prices will do over the coming months, but over the last three months the properties available for purchase in Whitehead have dried up which would tend to indicate that demand is higher than the supply of new properties.
Can we guarantee how well Whitehead is going to do next year? No, but we can look at the data we have and use it as a starting point before doing research.
Stock on the market can be an important leading indicator of whether market pressure will be on prices to rise or fall – in Whitehead there is about the same amount of stock than three months ago. This would indicate housing stock pressure remaining the same.
Just fill in a few details, and we'll arrange for a Mortgage adviser to help you find the best mortgage for your needs

U.S. legislators investigating price hikes in the pharmaceutical industry have asked William Ackman's hedge fund for information on Valeant Pharmaceuticals, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Ackman's $12 billion Pershing Square Capital Management owns a 9 percent stake in Valeant and is the Canadian drug company's third largest investor.
On Thursday, Ackman told his investors that Pershing Square received a request for information a week ago from the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging. Ackman said his fund was cooperating with the probe, but he did not give details on what was being sought by lawmakers in his letter to clients.
"The request is directly related to Valeant," the person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
Valeant has sparked public outrage and been criticized by U.S. lawmakers for dramatically hiking the price of older drugs.
The Canadian company has disclosed several investigations, including the one from Congress and probes by the Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Attorney's offices in Massachusetts and New York.

The Freedom of Not Knowing the Answer
If I could share 500 words to inspire, this is the important wisdom I'd want to pass along to others...
Not knowing can be paralyzing. The fear of someone asking me a question I couldn't answer was overwhelming. I was driven to be the one person who knew all the answers. I learned in the corporate world that if we don't have the answer right now, some one else "smarter than" us will. It can be a career killer. We are taught that knowledge is valuable, which is wonderful, BUT, if we have core beliefs that revolve around us feeling less than, that can translate into "if I don't know enough, I am not valuable".
Somehow, along the way I began to be ok with the fact that there is no way to know everything, to be prepared for all that life has to offer. And giving myself permission to have NO clue once in a while allowed me to bring forth knowledge and wisdom I needed in the moment. I was more relaxed and genuine. I was better able to share my thoughts when I was not constantly afraid of saying "I don't know". And oddly enough, I rarely get asked something I can't answer!
Give yourself permission today to NOT know! Sometimes that's all it takes-simply saying "It's ok if I don't have the answer!" No teacher is going to come along and slap your hand if you can't answer a question or two! Breathe through that.
Today, when someone asks you a question-even if you know the answer-practice saying "I don't know". It's not playing dumb, it's empowering yourself-it's freeing up your energy to focus elsewhere. Refuse to engage in one-upping people or letting your ego run the show by having to know it all. If someone else can provide the solution, let them. Why does it have to be your time that's taken up with explanations? Try it!
Release the anxiety of having to know what is coming up in the future by reminding yourself that it's none of your business! Remember those tough times when you couldn't see how something so challenging led you to the most amazing outcome? Call on your faith and hold onto it. Repeat "I don't know where this is leading, but I trust when I come through it, I will be happy, joyous and free!".
Let "I don't know" be your mantra for a positive day. Allow Spirit to work its magic to show you the right and perfect direction to go in. When we release the need to have all the answers, miracles happen! Let "I don't know" take you on an exciting journey through your day!
Today, ask the Universe to surprise you with a gift-whether it's a message spoken through someone else, something to see, animal totems…just something to let you know that you've got an endless connection and in that endless connection lies grace, peace, joy, and freedom. Remember to say "Thank you" when you get your signs! And thank Spirit for the gift of "I don't know".

Timo Weiland Inspiration Trip
To Bali we go with Timo Weiland, Kelly Framel of The Glamourai and the #TeamTimo crew for surf, sun and seafood.
It's no secret that we kind of have a thing for designer Timo Weiland around here... and it turns out our pals over at W Hotels and the CFDA do, too. Selecting the designer as part of the CFDA {FASHION INCUBATOR} program, it was off to Bali for #teamTimo (Timo, Alan, Donna, Haley, and Cov-alum Kelly Framel of The Glamourai) to take in a little inspiration for upcoming collections. Weiland himself explained his choice of destination best, saying, "The TW DNA is deeply rooted in surfing and beach culture." Bali, here they come!
After a long flight, day one was a whole lot of work and not so much play for the group, as they arrived at the W Bali and sleepily Skyped with the rest of the team back home to finalize samples for Resort 2014. The next day, the crew hit up Deus Ex Machina Moto & Surf Shop, chilled on the beach at Seminyak before dining at the Garden, a local resto. After getting in a few winks at the W Bali, it was off to get a little surfing in first thing the next morning at Kuta Beach. After refuelling on local grub at a gorgeous cabin cafe, Timo and Alan played a DJ set at W's Woo Bar for W Bali's Sunset Session, with insiders from the hotel modeling a few looks from Timo's collection; later going on to hit up a few local Kuta clubs. Once the team had recovered from the night before, the crew browsed the fabrics at a few local markets, later going body surfing around Seminyak. After dining at Ku De Ta with the guys from the People's Movement, it was to Mantra for the rest of the night. After being greeted by waters too flat to surf, the crew made the best of their last day by eating plenty of seafood and ice cream while lounging on the beach, followed by drinks and dancing at Mantra all night, before hopping on their plane home to NYC. When in Bali, right? As Weiland later explained while reflecting on the trip, "We looked at Bali and Indonesia loosely in an abstract way for everything ranging from our prints, silhouettes, embroideries, textures, etc. Something unexpected that inspired us was the local street art, graffiti, and architecture of the area."
After the trip, Weiland filled us in, saying, "We are honored to be supported by both W Hotels and CFDA; so to us, this is a big deal. We have had access to places around the world that we otherwise would not have had the means to travel to as a team. The program has been top-notch!" Can you really beat an endorsement like that?

- Spread ladder swaps (1) (remove)
This article analyzes spread ladder swaps traded by Deutsche Bank to several medium-size companies and municipalities. The value of these contracts is highly sensitive to correlations between forward rates. For a contract that was challenged by the medium-size company Ille at the Federal Court of Germany, it turns out that the derivative was originated at a negative market value of −90,000 to −115,000 euros (depending on the number of factors used in the model). Moreover, the model correctly predicts the range for the terminal payment after an adverse development of the term structure of approximately 567,000 euros. We also investigate a product feature that limits the upside potential from the viewpoint of the customer and show that it has a substantial impact on market values. According to the judgment handed down by the court, the bank should have informed the customer about the market value of the product in light of special circumstances. This raises questions as to which products must meet this requirement. Moreover, especially for exotic contracts, market prices are mostly model prices: for spread ladder swaps, substantially different prices are obtained even when investors agree on the variance/covariance matrix but disagree on the number of factors to apply in an implementation of a model.

This is a long bloody slog from the Woolley bivy site, over 2500 meters total vertical from highway #93. Isn't that difficulty enough?!
Named in 1984. The mountain was named for its proximity to Mount Alberta. Official name. First ascended in 1924 by , guided by Conrad Kain. (from peakfinder.com)
For my last weekend off at the end of the summer holidays, I was joined by Ben and Steven for a shot at some peaks in the Woolley / Diadem area just north of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. Obviously Woolley and Diadem were the main objectives for us, but we also had some other summits in mind - naturally!! :)
In May of 2012 I took a photo of Twin's Tower with a party inching it's way to the summit. This is one of my favorite photos and hangs above my kitchen table in a glorious black and white 24x48 inch panoramic print.
[One of my favorite photos of all time - a party ascends Twin's Tower just before we do it. Little Alberta is clearly visible to the right of Mount Alberta. ++]
One thing I noticed right away while staring at this photo as I sat at the kitchen table was an easy looking route to the summit of Little Alberta, the peak just to the east (right) of Mount Alberta in the photo. I couldn't get this summit out of my head, I figured the views from it must be absolutely mind blowing considering it's massive neighbors. The mountains around Little Alberta include 7 impressive 11,000ers and others including;
How could one go wrong with a list of neighbors like this?! Immediately this minor summit blasted near the top of my "list". It took a few years for everything to come together but when we started chatting about a Woolley / Diadem attempt while descending Smith Peak, I immediately brought up Little Alberta as another objective in the area. Steven and Ben were interested so we agreed to try it.
(Click here to read the approach TR to the Woolley / Diadem bivy site)
I had time to relax and have a leisure breakfast (bacon and eggs, if you can believe it) before Ben and Steven finally poked their heads over the final rise of the approach trail to our bivy site on Friday morning around 10:00. They didn't believe my pack rat battle story so I had to show them the evidence. They were kind of surprised I think. ;)
After setting up their tents it was time to decide what to do with the rest of our day. We had three choices. Woolley and Diadem were relatively free of clouds but had quite a bit of fresh snow, a good thing for the couloirs but not the rock cliff traverse between them. Mushroom Peak was an obvious choice but we were worried about it being too short and wanted to save it for Sunday morning before heading out. So that left Little Alberta.
[And then there was two tents sitting under Woolley and Diadem.]
"Little" is not an apt description for what it takes to summit this relatively minor (compared to its neighbors) peak. We did some rough calculations in camp and guestimated it to be around 2000 meters total elevation gains from the bivy site! This meant that Ben and Steven would be doing around 2600 meters total height gain the day before attempting Woolley and Diadem - another 1500 meter day. I was quite nervous about doing almost 2000 meters of height gain before another big (and higher priority) day but we agreed to give it a shot anyway. The weather wasn't forecast to be a perfect blue-bird day (which would be ideal for Little Alberta) but Saturday was, and a clear sky was even more important for views from the 11,000ers.
The approach from our bivy site over Woolley shoulder was much more rustic, crappy, loose and steep terrain than we were expecting. Don't underestimate this route! Of course, most people going over the shoulder are hard-core climbers attempting the mighty Mount Alberta or other massive routes near the Black Hole, so Woolley Shoulder is nothing more than a warm-up for them. It reminded us of Quartzite Col except you go up the crappy side first, rather than down it on the way in. As we slogged up the shoulder we were all wondering what the heck we were doing this for, just before a day climbing two 11,000ers! While approaching the gully it's not marked where to go. There's no cairns until near the top and it's too loose to form a permanent trail so we simply slogged up to the obvious weak point up the center until we spotted a cairn above us and went for it.
There's a pretty easy (technically) route through the upper cliffs to the top of the shoulder if you're careful about route finding. Simply bashing your way up is not a great idea as there's rock fall danger if you end up in the wrong gully. I think the height gain from camp was around 600 vertical meters to reach the top of the shoulder. We also noticed that we weren't much lower than Little Alberta's summit at the col, but had hundreds of meters of height loss before we could even think of her summit! The views were stunning as we crested the col! Mount Alberta was covered in a cloud cap, it's massive black east face towering over the Lloyd MacKay Hut. North Twin and Twin's Tower's north faces rose impossibly steep into the heavens out of a deep, dark valley beneath, known as the "Black Hole". The Stutfield peaks and Mount Cromwell also impressed with their glaciers diving down steep north and east aspects. Mount Engelhard rose directly above us to our left, while Mount Woolley surprised us with a nice couloir running steeply to it's cloud covered summit on our right - this is the South Face route and is rated alpine II.
[Looking back at Woolley Tarn and our bivy area from the moraines above camp as we head for the Woolley shoulder. From L to R, Woolley, Diadem and Mushroom Peak. ++]
[Ben and Steven look pretty small in the huge terrain under Mount Woolley. The route to the shoulder is at center distance.]
[Steven comes up the moraine behind me with Mushroom Peak towering over him. Diadem to the left, you can see the fresh snow plastering the rock we need to traverse between the two couloirs. Tangle Ridge is clear of snow in the distance at right. ++]
[An unexpectedly rough slog up to the shoulder - and where the heck does the route go anyway?!]
[Looking back down the loose approach to the Woolley Shoulder - Sunwapta now showing up with a fresh coat of snow at her summit.]
[Rock fall kept us alert - especially coming down from the gully to our right.]
[Traversing to find the best line up - we could see a bench traversing through the cliffs above us.]
[Ben and Steven checking out the views and wondering why we're expending all this energy the day before Woolley and Diadem.]
[Great views back towards Tangle Ridge and Sunwapta Peak over Engelhard's shoulder.]
[We're through the bench and getting closer to the crest of the shoulder now.]
[It's steep near the top! Engelhard towering over us here.]
[Views from Woolley Shoulder are incredible! Little Alberta at center. Engelhard, Cromwell, North Twin, Twin's Tower, Son of Twin, King Edward and Mount Alberta from L to R. ++]
[Mount Alberta looms over a tiny, insignificant Lloyd MacKay Hut and biffy.]
[Twin's Tower and North Twin rise thousands of feet from the deep valley beneath them, known as the "Black Hole". Believe it or not, these impossibly steep and dangerous walls have been climbed a handful of times over the past 40 years! The prominent tower to the right of Twin's Tower is known as "Son of a Twin" and was first climbed (via the west ridge) by Al Spero and Dane Waterman in 1979 (they also made an FA of the east face of Central Howser in the Bugaboos in 1974). Mount King Edward is on the far right of the photo.]
Sidebar re: climbing the North Pillar / Face / NW Ridge of Twin's Tower.
Originally this sidebar was supposed to be a one-liner about various climbs of the North Face of Twin's Tower but as I dug I came up with more and more articles and discussions on this amazing wall of rock and ice. So have fun browsing these links and be warned - there's a few hours of serious armchair mountaineering here! ;)
You can read about Jason Kruk's two attempts on the North Face of Twin's Tower on his blog here or Climbing Magazine's summary here. You can read John Walsh's account of their attempt in 2011 here. Following are the various routes and ascents of the North aspect of Twin's Tower;
[Another view of the north face of North Twin and Twin's Tower.]
After sucking in some of the most awe-inspiring views anywhere in the Rockies, we reluctantly started down the obvious trail in the snow covered scree over the Woolley shoulder, heading towards the tiny Lloyd MacKay hut in the far distance. The key word here is "down" the trail. We lost at least 350 vertical meters to the hut - all which had to be regained at the end of the day. The route to the hut from Woolley shoulder is pretty straightforward, but be forewarned, there is some crevasse issues if you're not careful. We had a number of ankle biters along the way.
[Traversing the glacier on the north side of Woolley - there are holes in here. ++]
[A panorama from just below Woolley Shoulder with Little Alberta in the center, surrounded by giants on every side. Note Steven and Ben traversing the snow bank? ++]
[Huge terrain in the area around Little Alberta - it's hard to put into photos. Here Ben and Steven trudge up the final glacial bump just before the hut with Mount Alberta looming in the background being all moody, as usual.]
It was cool to spend some moments in the Lloyd MacKay hut before continuing on to the business of summiting Little Alberta. Ben and I were both questioning our motivation at this point anyway, so we stopped for some food in the hut and ended up reveling in some of the history surrounding it. We tore ourselves away from the comfort and relative warmth of the hut but hoped we'd have some more time to browse the register on the way back through. At this point we only had 5 or 6 hours of daylight left and had no idea if our proposed route to the summit of Little Alberta would even go. I have to admit my levels of enthusiasm were low and I was remembering how pleasant my book was the day before. But the views were stunning and kept me going.
[The Lloyd MacKay Hut with Little Alberta looming over it and the Stutfields in the background.]
[The hut sleeps 6 but one person is on the floor!]
[The biffy with the north face of Little Alberta not looking so little anymore.]
[A lot of world-class climbers have stayed here on their way to conquer the nearby giants - Mount Alberta being the most sought after of course.]
[How many nervous feet have gone out this door on the great adventure that is climbing Mount Alberta? Hopefully mine will join that group some day.]
[Interesting plaque in the hut.]
[Stunning views towards Warwick Mountain over the SE shoulder of Mount Alberta from the hut.]
We knew the scramble route on Little Alberta would involve traversing scree slopes on her west aspect before contouring around the south ridge and up easy scree from there. What we didn't realize (and never seem to!) was how far this traverse was, how much height loss it involved or how tired we'd be while slogging it out!! To make a long story short - it's a long way from the hut all the way around to the south slopes of Little Alberta and drops at least another 300 vertical meters (remember the 350 we already dropped to the hut!) before finally ascending again. I can see why Alberta is a 22 hour (or much more) slog from the hut - it's a bloody long distance and many vertical meters gained and lost just to get to the upper 5.6 climbing sections.
After almost giving up several times (remember, we're planning on climbing two 11,000ers the next day) we finally broke through the cliffs guarding the west aspect and came around the south end of the mountain. From here it was simply one foot in front of the other to the obvious summit block. It was too bad that the clouds thickened throughout the afternoon, but it did make us glad we weren't on the 11,000ers and our views were still mind blowing in every direction. Thankfully the register was in the first summit, the two summits on Little Alberta are the same height. The register was busier than I expected but by no means was it "busy". We were only the 9th or 10th party to sign it in over 34 years, it's probably only seen a few more ascents than this ever. After snapping obligatory summit photos and cramming some food, we started the long journey back to the Alberta Hut and from there, our bivy site under Woolley.
[The terrain right under the hut was surprisingly difficult - certainly no simple walk due to slabs and loose rock.]
[We've already lost hundreds of vertical meters from the hut at this point and are traversing on the west aspect of Little Alberta]
[The Japanese Route (FA 1925) goes somewhere up this east face. I suspect the roped climbing probably doesn't start until the ledge just under the clouds on the left side - that's where the walls rise up pretty steeply but until that point it looks 'scrambly'. I know a lot of parties start climbing too early and end up spending way more time on the mountain as a result. This usually means getting trapped by bad weather because at almost 12,000 feet, Alberta easily generates or attracts clouds, rain and snow.]
[I ended up going right to the bottom of the valley between Little Alberta and "Big" Alberta rather than traverse scree. I hate traversing scree - mostly because I've done WAY too much of it over the past decade! Note the cliff band we're trying to get around on the upper left.]
[The dark and scary north face of Twin's Tower and Son of a Twin.]
[Traversing high above Habel Creek to the south end of Little Alberta now.]
[Finally around to the more southerly aspect. Giants to the clouds next to us!]
[Staring the Black Hole and NF of Twin's Tower straight in the face from the south ridge.]
[The view behind us looking down Habel Creek as we grovel up the southwest slope. ++]
[I have never stepped on or seen so many Trilobite fossils in my life. They were everywhere in the area including Little Alberta, Woolley Shoulder, Mount Woolley, Diadem Peak and Mushroom Peak. It was nuts. And I only noticed Trilobites - no other soft bodied fossils or even plants.]
[Lots and lots of dinner plating on the south ridge. I suspect this crappy rock is the main thing holding Mount Alberta up too.]
[The views from the south aspect of Little Alberta were some of the best I've ever had. From L to R, Engelhard, Cromwell, Stutfield NE2, Stutfield Peak, North Twin, Twin's Tower, Son of a Twin and King Edward. ++]
[Grinding up the summit block.]

[Register, Page 4]
[Summit views from L to R include, Woolley, Mushroom, Engelhard, Cromwell, Stutfield NE2, Stutfield, North Twin, Twin's Tower, Son of Twin, King Edward, Sundial and Warwick. ++]
[Too bad Mount Alberta is covered in cloud, but hopefully we can see all her glory tomorrow from Woolley - a better vantage point anyway. ++]
[The entry to the Black Hole goes under the impressive North and West faces of the Stutfields]
[Mount Engelhard (L) and Cromwell (C) are very near 11,000 feet with Cromwell possibly just sneaking into the 'club'. I have a friend who measured it at only 1 meter shy of the magical 3353m, but that puts it at the same height I measured Harrison so who knows?]
[The south couloir route on Woolley is rating Alpine II and looks fun.]
[Mushroom Peak is no slouch either at over 10,500 feet.]
[Impressive glaciers plunge down from the Stutfields towards the Black Hole]
[I love that little tarn that sits beneath the huge north face of Twin's Tower.]
[Looking west towards Warwick (L) and Sundial (C).]
[Dias Mountain shows up west, over the south shoulder of Mount Alberta.]
[Thorington Tower and Mount Smythe show up over the west shoulder of Woolley.]
[Ben and Steven on the summit of Little Alberta with Woolley and it's South Face route in the background.]
[One more view east off the summit showing the depth of the valley between Little Alberta and Engelhard.]
[Descending the south ridge of Little Alberta with Twin's Tower in the background. Note the tarn at the base of the north face?]
The descent down the south ridge went really quick, the long traverse along the west face and back up to the Lloyd Mackay Hut didn't go quite as quick. We spent some time in the hut again, this time we read some very interesting entries in the hut register. I need to spend a few hours going over them all! Alas, we still had a lot of distance to go and wanted to beat darkness, so we didn't linger as long as we wanted to.
The grind back up to Woolley shoulder wasn't too bad thanks to a good track in the snow but it seemed to take forever to get back down to the bivy from there. We dragged ourselves into camp around 21:00 after a long day of over 2000 meters height gain for me and over 2500 meters for Steven and Ben! All-in-all, Little Alberta is a pile of crappy scree in a mind-blowing scenic area of the Rockies. Does this make the long and tiring trek worth it's rarely visited summit? Only you can decide that!
[More impressive views of the 1500 meter north face of Twin's Tower and Son of a Twin to the right.]
[Traversing ledges around to the west aspect on our way back.]
[Back at the hut, dark clouds are swirling and I'm expecting a snow storm at this point.]
[This is what it's all about! The register is a fascinating read. ;)]
[Still a grind to Woolley Shoulder from near the hut.]
[My favorite shot of the Black Hole and the North Face of Twin's Tower. What a magnetic pull this wall has! I have to quote H. L. Abrons here from 1966; '.So dark, sheer, and gloomy is the North Face of North Twin, like a bad dream.']

[Grunting up the shoulder in fresh snow.]

I moved to Calgary, Alberta (Canada) in 1999 and since then I've fallen in love with the spectacular scenery and grand vistas that open up as you scramble up above treeline on a beautiful fall morning, or make your first cast on some back country stream as the sun throws its golden warmth on surrounding peaks.
I hope that my trip reports and pictures will inspire you to push your own physical limits whatever those may be. You may be inspired to try scrambling - a sport where you climb mountains via non-technical ascent routes - or you may simply realize what's in your own backyard and go for a short hike somewhere.

Nigerians have been urged to reduce excessive salt intake, fatty foods and smoking to avoid being hypertensive.
A consultant physician in Jim Sam Hospital, Lagos, Dr Paul Iuho said these are the major causes of hypertension.
He spoke to The Nation on the rising incidences of high blood pressure (HBP).
Hypertension, he noted, can also result from obesity or being overweight and can be inherited.
Luho described hypertension as a condition which can lead to the damage of blood vessels and trigger other diseases such as heart attack, stroke, kidney diseases and even eye problems.
He said the first symptom of the condition is headache. Others are fatigue and vision problem, chest pain and difficulty in breathing or pounding in the chest, neck and ear.
Luho said cutting down one's weight, quit smoking, diet, low fats intake, cutting down on salt intake and sodium in diet and getting involved in regular exercises are preventive measures that must be adhered to.
He urged hypertensive patients to change their lifestyle and reduce or avoid salty foods. Quitting smoking and hard drinks will help to reduce the risk of hypertension, Luho said.

One of the expert witnesses for Brian David Mitchell's defense team on Thursday passionately defended her 2004 examination of the man accused of kidnapping and raping Elizabeth Smart.
Jennifer Skeem, a forensic psychologist from California who grew up in Utah, took the stand in federal court during the ninth day of a hearing to determine if Mitchell is competent to stand trial. At times, her testimony seemed less about issues relating to Mitchell's competency and more about what she believed was "character assassination" in previous comments by the government's expert witnesses to discredit her evaluation of Mitchell.
"I'm not a hired gun who intentionally collaborated with an unethical defense team," Skeem said.
Last week, Dr. Michael Welner, a forensic psychiatrist, showed a timeline of events in 2004 leading up to when Mitchell's defense team asked for a new competency review. He criticized notes taken by Skeem and questioned her reasoning for calling Mitchell "situationally competent" in her first report and then incompetent in her second report a short time later. He pointed to a motion from defense attorneys who indicated one of the reasons they wanted a new hearing was because of a decline in Mitchell's "ability to manifest appropriate courtroom behavior."
He said the motion was filed before Mitchell ever displayed inappropriate behavior by repeatedly singing in court.
Skeem said Welner should have focused on the entire petition rather than just one sentence and said he missed its overall meaning.
Skeem said even leading up to her interview with Mitchell, he was "all over the map" with his legal reasoning. At the rate he was going, she believed he would not be able to assist his attorneys in the courtroom. At one point, she said, Mitchell wanted to plead guilty to all the charges against him, believing he would be delivered by God out of jail shortly.
"Dr. Welner gave an interpretation of a small excerpt of my notes," she said. "I'd be happy to review all my notes and what they mean and don't mean."
Skeem also addressed a point raised by Dr. Noel Gardner, the government's other expert witness, that Mitchell would only grant an interview at that time to Skeem, whom he described as a young, attractive female.
"I've never been so offended by something you would think is so flattering," Skeem fired back, adding that she was not a "wide-eyed young miss" that Mitchell was able to "efficiently mislead."
Skeem said she believed Welner had developed his "very strong" opinion of Mitchell before reading her notes, and that some of the testimony given earlier in the hearing trying to discredit her report "bordered on unprofessional."
Skeem said that she currently did not have an opinion on Mitchell's competency because she was not retained by the federal defense team to perform an evaluation. She said she would defer to Dr. Richart DeMier's opinion.
DeMier evaluated Mitchell for 45 days at a federal prison in Missouri in 2008 and determined Mitchell suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. He said he believes Mitchell has a factual understanding of the legal proceedings but does not have a rational understanding and is mentally incompetent to stand trial for Smart's kidnapping.
"I think his delusional beliefs, they are not possible," DeMier said. "I think that it is a bizarre belief that he has been ordained and appointed by God … to battle the Antichrist."
It was not a belief of the end of days that makes Mitchell's beliefs delusional, but rather "his insertion of himself personally into that belief that he's a savior," DeMier said. "There's a lack of a rational understanding of what's going on."
Based on the definition outlined in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for mental disorders, DeMier said that because he found Mitchell's delusions to be "bizarre," he declared Mitchell to have schizophrenia based on the criteria.
In his report, DeMier said Mitchell "is preoccupied with these well-entrenched beliefs, they appear to have caused him significant distress, and they have led to a drastic decline in his ability to function effectively in society."
During cross examination, assistant U.S. attorney Diana Hagan brought up the argument that the notion of being the "one mighty and strong" is a common belief among many fundamentalist groups, and having personal revelations from God was a common part of mainstream LDS culture. Even Mitchell's contention that he was the "hand of God" was a direct quote taken from the Book of Mormon.
DeMier acknowledged that cultural context had to be taken into consideration when deciding whether a belief is bizarre or not.
Several video clips of DeMier's interview with Mitchell in 2008 were shown in court Thursday. During one exchange, Mitchell talks coherently and rationally about the legal proceedings against him, seeming to show an understanding of why he was at the federal facility.
Hagan tried to establish an argument that Mitchell was actually trying to obstruct interviews with DeMier by not being cooperative. During portions of the interview, Mitchell spoke in religious speak, using phrases such as "it mattereth not" several times.
At one point, Mitchell tells DeMier, "I understand you have your work to do, and I have my work to do. Our work doesn't mix, like wine and water."
DeMier said he does not believe Mitchell is malingering, or faking an illness to avoid prosecution, adding that most patients who malinger try to exhibit symptoms not consistent with the illness they're trying to fake.
For example, some patients will claim to see little green men in their rooms, he said. Mitchell's delusions, on the other hand, are consistent with schizophrenic delusions.
Furthermore, DeMier said Mitchell "abhors the thought of (being found incompetent). It's something he can't accept."
In illustrating some of Mitchell's delusions, DeMier said that while at the Utah State Hospital, Mitchell asked staff members about the conversion rate of shekels to U.S. currency in order to pay Ed Smart for his daughter.
DeMier also testified that people who have delusional beliefs don't have to talk about such beliefs all the time. "That doesn't mean they think about it every single minute," he said, adding that a person can act normally in every way until they "trip that trigger to talk about their delusional beliefs."
Hagan countered with a couple of incidents, including the time Mitchell was in Virl Kemp's home in San Diego in 2003 and talked religion at length with him, but acted as a person investigating the church. Mitchell later allegedly returned to Kemp's home in the middle of the night in a failed kidnap attempt of his daughter.
Mitchell has not been seen in the courtroom since the third day of the hearing. He has been transported to the federal courthouse each day of the hearing but has refused to come out of his holding cell. Court proceedings, however, are broadcast into his cell.Skeem testified Thursday that she looked in on Mitchell and found that he had chewed up a napkin, stuck pieces of it in his ears and was turned away from the video screen of the proceedings. She said that was in contrast to earlier testimony from lay prosecution witnesses that Mitchell traditionally acted normally after being removed from the courtroom.

This is Paul and Sarah's first kiss. They were married in a beautiful park overlooking a waterway. Amazing boats passed as they took their vows.
As the wedding party took pictures I had a little adventure and explored some of the city. I came across what I can only describe as an outdoor mall. It was more of a strip of open air restaurants and bars but there were a few shops sprinkled in. Below is a picture of a bar that Christy and Pat would LOVE!
The view of the "mall".
It was a great trip but we are happy to be home.

Azcapotzalco äskäpōtsäl´kō [key], city (1990 pop. 473,476), S Mexico, in the Federal District. An important rail center, with railroad yards, it is the terminus of mail and cargo traffic. Azcapotzalco's cattle industry supplies the bulk of Mexico City's dairy products. Other industries include auto assembling, oil refining, and the manufacture of textiles, paper, and records. The city was a leading cultural center in the pre-Columbian period. During Mexico's War of Independence, it was the site (1821) of a major battle in which loyalist troops were forced to retreat by the revolutionary soldiers. Azcapotzalco is noted for its baroque colonial architecture and its 18th-century churches.

I'm sure many of you are following the news coming out of the Game Developers Conference going on this week. Probably the most exciting news released thus far is details about the OnLive gaming service that looks to be pretty revolutionary for the gaming industry.
For those not following the story, OnLive is basically "cloud computing" for gaming. It's platform agnostic, meaning that you don't need any particular console or PC to play the games offered by the service. You can use a PC or Mac or a little console-like device provided by OnLive to plug into your TV and play all of the games available on the service as if you had them exclusively on your home device. The service takes care of all the thinking your machine is currently responsible for and off-loads it to their own servers where it renders the game play and video and sends the data back to your machine via the Internet. What the means is that you don't need any particular set of hardware requirements for your games. PCs/Macs don't need beefy system specifications and consoles will all be essentially equal in terms of horsepower because they aren't using anything but input/output and data transfer services in order to play the games.
Besides offering gaming that doesn't require any specific platform to play games, the service also is said to offer a greater community aspect then you find with most games. Essentially the streams that are sent to your machine in order for you to play the game can also simultaneously be sent to other spectators who want to watch you play. The service also offers a "brag" feature that will capture the last 15 seconds or so of your play and let you create a shareable moment of awesomeness that others will be able to view through the service. You will have the option of adding voice over to these streams so you can record specifics. I can see this being helpful for people providing helpful walkthroughs or tips to get through parts of certain games much like you find currently on YouTube.
This service has great potential to change gaming as we know it. Going into beta this summer and a launch some time next winter, we will soon get a peak at whether or not the Internet is capable of delivering this kind of content to individuals at it's current state. The Internet has always been a pretty sloppy delivery medium and you have no direct control over the speed your end users get which can ruin their experience with a service like this. It's possible that this service may end up being ready before the Internet itself is ready to handle delivering this content to users on a large scale.
The other issue that crops up is latency. Online gaming is already plagued with problems when it comes to latency and can directly influence the end result of the game for the user. When that happens, it's only sending small bits of data to the server and then to all clients. Imagine having to send that data in addition to the large stream that is containing HD video content for your TV. It will also be interesting to note how much data the service ends up sending over the home connections and whether or not bandwidth limits imposed by ISPs start coming into play. I could imagine that some individuals who spend many hours a day playing video games may reach those limits quickly.
It's a great idea that I hope is successful, it may take a few years after launch for the service itself and the Internet to actually be up to the task of making this concept a smooth reality, but I will keep my eyes on this as I'm sure many of you will as well. Here are some videos detailing the OnLive service.
Another great movie about the service can be found here: http://i.gizmodo.com/5183416/onlive-demos-streaming-games-yes-thats-crysis-on-integrated-graphics

Demi Lovato's fans have threatened to kill Kathy Griffin for insulting their idol - and Demi's not having any of it.
Predictably, comedian Kathy telling the world that former X Factor judge Demi was the biggest 'douche celebrity' she'd ever met, didn't go over amazingly with the singer and her fans but this response may be a little over the top.
During a late-night Q&A on Twitter earlier this week, the fiery comedian was asked who was the biggest "douche celebrity" she had met , and in typical Kathy style, quickly responded with: "Probably Debbie [Demi] Lovato. Plus she should calm the f down bout Lady Gaga gettin barfed on (sic)."
In response, Demi tweeted a picture of herself with a face on, with the caption: "Only a "douche" to people I can't stand." Miaow.
But then - after Demi deleted her message - a small number of the Heart Attack singer's fans - the Lovatics as they're known - decided to take it further by sending DEATH THREATS to the My Life on the D-List star.
"If I had a gun and I had 2 bullets left, i'd shoot you twice b****," wrote one. Another launched a foulmouthed tirade ranting: "you motherf***** shut the f*** don't ever speak about Demi or we will kill you."
Kathy quoted another who tweeted: "slit your throat you ugly b**** you deserve cancer i hope your whole familys burns to the ground.(sic)"
A small number of Demi's fans also attempted to get two hashtages trending by tweeting "KathyGriffinDeservesAids" and "#LovaticsWantKathyGriffinToGetRaped" at the comedian and by then Demi had had it with her fans.
"I love you guys so much," she wrote on Twitter. "But y'all gotta chill with sending hate towards other people. Regardless of what they say or do.. The cruel things some of you are saying can really, REALLY hurt people.
"It's called cyber-bullying and somethings should NEVER be wished upon EVER. No matter WHAT. It makes me so sad to see how mean people can really be after all I've spoken out about anti-bullying.
"Be an example for other haters. I know my #Lovatics are better than that. I really appreciate you guys always having my back but this is going way too far. Please spread [love heart] not hate...."
The former X Factor USA judge also sent Kathy an apology directly, writing: "@KathyGriffin No one should ever wish those things upon ANYONE. I apologize on others behalf. I do NOT approve of that at all. Sorry 4 that."

on bookplates
In the Wall Street Journal, Joanne Kaufman writes about an easily forgotten art.
Tucked in a corner of my desk drawer is a three-by-four-inch black box with a silver lid containing 100 yellowing dry-gummed bookplates. The image on them--an hourglass atop a pile of books--is set against a black background with a cream-colored border. Laurel leaves wrap around a scroll that proclaims "Books Span the Ages." Underneath the book stack is another scroll reading "From the Library of." My name, middle initial included, is printed in Garamond italics below. It's the last box of a set of three, a back-to-school present from my mother when I was eight years old.
I don't remember many gifts from my childhood. The bookplates stand out because they seemed, at the time, an affirmation of me as A Reader and of my books as having standing in the grown-up world.
... [b]ut after just a few hours, I'd had it. Licking those gummed backs, then trying to determine the exact center of the front inside cover of "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle" and the "Signature" biographies (Martha Washington, Julia Ward Howe, Nurse Mary Anne Bickerdyke, etc.) that formed the spine of my nonfiction collection--well, thanks, but no thanks. Even when I wised up and started using a dampened sponge, it was a tedium that rivaled piano practice.
My plates, like those of many others, were the product of the Antioch Bookplate Co. (now known as Antioch Publishing), based in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The firm's co-founder, Ernest Morgan, was in a work-study program at Antioch College in the early 1920s. Taking note of the barrels of paper scraps at the school's print shop, he cut a deal to barter janitorial work for the use of the equipment to print bookplates, then drove around Ohio selling them to bookstores, building up a little business.
Artist and print-maker Rockwell Kent designed several of the company's early plates, and Morgan himself wrote some of the messages, including the popular "I enjoy sharing my books as I do my friends asking only that you treat them well and see them safely home," written on a scroll edged by a grapevine. (The earliest bookplates had less-friendly sentiments. Fifteenth-century designs often contained warnings of the dire fate awaiting book thieves.)
Ohio artist Robert Whitmore fashioned the oldest, most durable design sold by Antioch: a tree with its roots wound around an open book. Other favored images: an owl sitting on a stack of books, one of them opened to the words "ex libris," and a man standing on a library ladder.
In the 1940's and '50s, and into the '60s, it wasn't unusual for the company to field 300 orders a day for personalized plates. "Some of our customers were bibliophiles of the first order," says Ernest Morgan's son Lee, who took over the business in 1969. "They'd order 1,000, then turn around and re-order. But," he adds, "there isn't much interest anymore. Plates have lost their literary cachet."
... people are ... coming up with new ways of using bookplates. For example, authors are signing them and shipping them off to bookstores for insertion in their latest work. [Karen Gardner who owns bookplate business, now called Bookplate Ink.] recently took an order for a bookplate designed to be the centerpiece of a 60th-birthday celebration. Guests were asked to send a book as a present, and the plate went inside each offering.

Ag Policy Blog
USDA Says SCO Insurance is Ready for 2015 Crops
USDA announced on Tuesday where farmers growing winter wheat would be eligible to buy the new Supplemental Coverage Option crop insurance this fall.
SCO, created in the 2014 farm bill, is a supplemental county insurance that could cover a portion of a farmer's deductible revenue on a countywide plan. A farmer buys the insurance as an enhancement to an individual policy.
Winter wheat farmers would effectively be the first ones who get the option of buying SCO for their 2015 crop. However, not every winter wheat farmer will get the option of buying the policy. Farmers in counties reflecting about 80% of the overall winter wheat acreage would get the option of enrolling. Almost all of Kansas, excluding a couple of counties, would be able to enroll, as would farmers in the western half of Oklahoma, southern and western Nebraska, parts of South Dakota, Colorado Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington State would get to enroll, as well as farmers in sections of California, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin as well as a few counties in both North and South Carolina, New Mexico, Wyoming, New York and Pennsylvania. For a full map, go to http://dld.bz/…
USDA will come out with another map later this year or early next spring showing where SCO can be purchased for other spring commodities.
SCO pays when county revenue falls below 86% of its expected level. SCO would then pay out until the individual coverage level of an insurance policy kicks in. A fact sheet can be found at http://dld.bz/…
Under SCO, the federal government also pays 65% of the premium.
SCO also in integrated into a farmer's decision to enroll in commodity programs. SCO can be used only on commodities not enrolled in the Agricultural Risk Coverage program, largely because SCO and ARC function in the same way. Commodities signed up for Price Loss Coverage would be eligible for SCO insurance.
The deadline for winter wheat farmers to sign up for SCO coverage is Sept. 30. However, it's unlikely that USDA will have rolled out sign up for ARC and PLC by then. USDA will give winter wheat farmers a grace period until Dec. 15 to withdraw coverage from any farm if they elect to enroll those acres in ARC for winter wheat. If they drop SCO after Dec. 15, farmers would have to pay the premium on the insurance.

Barbary Macaque Conservation in the Rif
To halt the decline of Barbary macaques in Morocco
The association, Barbary Macaque Conservation in the Rif (BMCRif), has been working in Morocco since 2004. The conservation concern that triggered this project is the drastic decline of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in Morocco due to capture of infants for the illegal pet trade. This decline led to the listing of the species as Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2008.
BMCRif aims to halt the decline of the Barbary macaque in northern Morocco by raising awareness, gathering data, and working with local and national stakeholders to ensure the future of the species, its habitat, and the livelihoods of the local people. Practical hands-on conservation at grass roots level!
WAZA Conservation Project 12011 is implemented by Barbary Macaque Conservation in the Rif, with support provided by Barcelona Zoo, Apenheul Primate Conservation Trust, Conservatoire pour la Protection des Primates, Parco Natura Viva, Folly Farm Adventure Park & Zoo and NaturZoo Rheine. Other stakeholders involved in the project include the Moroccan Ministry of Water and Forests, Moroccan Ministry of Education, University of Tetouan, Tetouan Football Association and Tangier-Tetouan Regional Veterinary Service.

The few times I have experienced true faith, I have been so uncomfortable that I have wondered if faith is something worth having.
About ten years ago, during a fit of irrational exuberance (followed by many others), I made a vow that I would seek to place myself in situations where I would pray not simply because I wanted to, but because I had to: situations that required more courage, more resources, and more love than I could ever supply. So, with idealistic fervor, I moved into the Hilltop District of Tacoma.
As I experienced failure upon failure, fully accessorized with matching faith crises, my consolation and roadmap was Theirs is the Kingdom: Celebrating the Gospel in Urban America, by Bob Lupton. Bob and his wife, Peggy, took a similar journey from suburban to urban Atlanta and have lived their lives loving people who required them to recalibrate their comfort levels.
Theirs is the Kingdom is a small book filled with 42 short, gritty vignettes about people with problems and the equally problem-laden people who serve them. It is full of reflective stories of incarnational truth swathed in ghetto attire. For those of you working in the urban environs and those whose eyes are being opened to the breadth of God's love and the meaning of faith in different contexts, I highly recommend this book. The following is an excerpt, used with permission.

text: [FONT="]Hello world, I'm currently studying some new advances about the mobile TV topical technologies and I came across some wonders... Throughout Europe, the new Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) technology on mobiles phones will be massively DVB-SH (fresh derivation of current DVB-Handset), and I know some manufacturers such as Samsung and Motorola are already developping hardwares to handle this technology (basically a new antenna is added to enable satellite connection). Due to the recent focus on Android, I guess there are some leads within Android teams so to handle such new hardware interface, and some developments growing up within android middleware so to handle new multimedia aspects... Do you have any hints on that guys ? Thanking y'all in advance...[/FONT]

The Oracle
The furious pounding at my
door woke me from a dream I couldn't remember. I grunted, my eyes fluttering to
see nothing but the darkness within my simple cottage. It took a few moments
for my mind to bring itself fully awake, having been so rudely summoned from
its dream state. The frantic pounding didn't stop. I pushed aside my bed
sheets, willing my body to sit up. Everything felt as if in a fog, even more so
than normal.

Act allows reasonablecorporate hospitalityexpendituresCompanies reviewingpoliciesU.K. government'sguidance leaves somegray areasBecause of the visibility and price tags surrounding the Olympic Games that kick off nextmonth, London 2012 may be a high-profile test case for the U.K. Bribery Act's application to cor-porate hospitality expenditures. The Bribery Act, which took effect in July 2011, makes it illegalfor commercial organizations to fail to prevent bribes from being paid on their behalf in orderto obtain or retain business or a business advantage. ¶ Since Parliament passed the act in 2010,the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has made clear that "sensible and proportionate" corporatethose of a typical visit to London.

Olympics, says Jay Perlman, a director at
Navigant Consulting in its global investigations & compliance segment.
"With the Olympics, it's not only the

"Olympics tickets by their nature are
popular and scarce, and they're kind of a

A feast of flavours
The cooking and eating of street food in Mumbai is a daily ritual that begins long before dawn. Its origins lie in the city's vanished mills, where a need for cheap, fortifying meals drove streetside vendors to create a new cuisinemumbai Updated: Jul 18, 2011 01:24 IST
If you've ever wondered what keeps a city like Mumbai going, you can find the answer in her streets.
Peddled out of baskets carried on their heads, off impromptu mats laid out on street corners and from rickety carts on narrow bylanes, the city's street food, washed down with endless cups of cutting chai, feeds the millions-strong Mumbai workforce in a ritual starting long before dawn, as street food sellers prepare to deliver their goods to the hungry hordes.
It's an orchestra that begins with the clacking of trays as unbaked batches of pav enter cavernous ovens hours before dawn. As the sky lightens, vada pav vendors begin cranking up their stoves, chaiwallahs clank pots on to boil milk, and eggs softly click against each other, awaiting the first commuters eager to grab a quick breakfast.
As the sun rises over the shimmering city, knives click furiously, chopping chillies and onions for those who might opt for a more elaborate spread of spicy bhurji or masala omelette with hot, toasted pav and steaming, sugary tea.
As the first batch of harried commuters take their seats at work, an army of women bearing large stainless steel vessels thudding together begin boarding the still-packed local trains.
Arriving at office districts across the city, they set up shop next to thela Chinese stalls and dosawallas clanging humungous spatulas against iron woks and tavas, to dish out simple meals of dal and rice on shining stainless steel plates.
Lunch hour concludes with fruits plates laid out under the sky and openers clinking against cold-drink bottles. Then the chaiwallas take over, offering tiny plastic cups of comfort to tide people through the afternoon, until the chaat and pav bhaji stalls come into noisy action at day's end, to fortify the hungry for the long commute home.
As night falls, skewers clink together as kebabwalas begin briskly grilling meat to melting softness. This will continue late into the night, and when the skewers are finally still, the night chaiwallas will set off on their cycles, their shrill whistles fading into the music of a new day of business.
Ours is a metropolis that knows no boundaries and never sleeps, so it's no surprise that Mumbai is the Indian city most associated with street food. Where other cities have a few select favourites, specific claims to piquant fame such as the kathi rolls of Kolkata or the chaat of Delhi, street food in Mumbai crosses every barrier.
Here you will find succulent kebabs right next to a Jain pav bhaji stall, with people from every community jostling for a taste of both.
Just like the legendary bhel puri of Mumbai, each distinct offering combines to form a unique, delicious whole.
Mumbai street food was born of the need for quickly put-together food that was cheap and satisfying. Stories about the creation of some of these delights are now urban legend, such as the one about pav bhaji being invented as midnight sustenance, thrown together from leftover vegetables mashed up to disguise their mixed breed, spiced up and served with a couple of pavs for workers coming off the night shift.
The vada pav itself is born of a marriage of the Maharashtrian batata vada and the Portuguese-origin pav, the union blessed with an anointing of spicy chutney.
Delicious stories are still being created today, like the chop suey dosa, created by the merger of a South Indian and Chinese stall.
These anytime-you-crave- them palate pleasers can be customised too; they don't have to be hot enough to blow the top of your head off, though that is always an option, but they will more often than not be an irresistible combination of spicy, sour, sweet and salty.
More potatoes or less? Hot and spicy or cold and extra sour? Crunchy or soft? Not only is it interactive, most of it is constructed as you watch, requiring a specialist to put it together in just the right ratios. And in the hands of that specialist lies the power to send aficionados miles across town to get their favourite treats, even if that means standing hunched as you gobble from a rinsed-in-a-bucket steel katori while avoiding zipping traffic on the street.
All in search of that perfect bite, where every flavour on your plate comes together in one heavenly mouthful, garnished with the essential flavour of the human touch.
Of course, deciding what to eat is like trying to pick a favourite song — every option comes with its own special memories. I'd like to introduce you to six of my favourite Mumbai street food groups…
The Puri family
Most likely rooted in the fried snacks found outside temples in historic times, variations include sev puri, in which the disks are topped with potatoes, sev, onions and chutneys; and pani puri, where the hollow version is filled with sprouted beans and boiled potato, then dunked in a sweet tamarind chutney and in ice cold 'paani', a mint-flavoured liquid spiked with chillies. Once you have the whole thing in your mouth, the puri cracks with a satisfying crunch to release a rush of sweet chutney and spicy icy pani.
The Dosa/Dosai family
Another legacy of the temple snacks are dosas, paper thin crepes made of fermented lentil and rice batter, usually served with sambar, a lentil and vegetable curry, and a spicy chutney of fresh coconut and green chillies.
The pav family
Pao or pav, small swollen buns that are a legacy of the Portuguese, have become an essential accompaniment to a myriad of street food offerings, since they are cheap, filling and ideal for soaking up spicy gravies or munching on with curried eggs. Try not to think about this at mealtime, but legend has it that pav was so named because the dough was kneaded with the paav or feet!
The sandwich family
The Mumbai street sandwich is a jumbled and delicious delight. Layered between three slices of white bread slathered with butter and spicy coriander chutney are paper-thin slices of boiled potato, raw cucumber, onion, tomato and beetroot. This concoction is toasted, then topped with a vibrantly orange pumpkin sauce or ketchup and a sprinkling of sev, then sliced into small, bite-sized pieces.
The thela chinese family
No Chinese person would recognise the 'Chinese' food served up on Mumbai's streets. The credit, in many ways, goes to Nelson Wang, a second-generation Chinaman who dressed a chicken pakora in a spiced-up cornflour gravy and christened it 'Chicken Manchurian'. He went on to open the landmark China Garden and changed the face of Chinese food in Mumbai, spawning, perhaps unknowingly, the current array of highly spiced, fried and gravied 'Indian Chinese' now dished out of the city's ubiquitous mobile carts — and
even out of most Indian fast food restaurants. Try the truly bizarre Manchurian Cauliflower and Schezwan Paneer.
The fusion family
Mumbai's street food sellers are always mixing and matching, using leftovers and mistakes to invent something new in the hope that it will become the new rage. Bhel is now tossed with sweet corn, to make Mexican bhel. The chop suey cheese dosa has the crepe filled with noodles. And now there's even a Schezwan vada pav, with the spicy red sauce replacing the chutneys.
So far, no one's complaining.

The World's Longest Running Transsexual Adult Website!
Birthday: 9th September
Location: Seattle, WA
Amira is a freaky, petite, 5'6" girl who responded that her hobby is suck dick. I said, "no, for fun."
"I like to suck dick."
She loves to be manhandled and pounded hard and says she gives the best blowjobs in Seattle.
My favorite feature on this little lady is the fact that she can put her feet WAY behind her head, so that must make for some good missionary style pounding. Didn't find out until after the photoset, but it's in her first video.
She was previously featured on FemOut and shot by the outstanding Omar Wax.

Coolerado Receives Renewable Energy Award
The Earth Times
DENVER – Coolerado, manufacturers of high efficiency air conditioners, today announced the company received the prestigious "Governor's Excellence in Renewable Energy Award" from Colorado Governor Bill Ritter this week for the outstanding contributions made by a small business to protect the environment and support clean power through renewable energy.
"It may seem strange that a company with a product that consumes energy received a renewable energy award, but Coolerado air conditioning systems use one-tenth of the energy required by the most efficient conventional systems," said Mike Luby, CEO of Coolerado. "Our air conditioners achieve a tenfold reduction in greenhouse gases, because of reduced power generation needs, and they are green, using no chemical refrigerants."

The four mile, three-and-a-half-furlong Grand National race is often billed as the ultimate test of horse and rider due to the difficulty of the course.
There are sixteen fences in total, fourteen of which get jumped twice, with the Chair and the Water Jump being missed on the second circuit as the horses veer off to the home straight.
Many of the fences are almost as infamous in their own right as the race itself and each has its own history. Here, we will take a look at some of the most iconic ones that make this race so intense and dramatic.
The Chair (Fence 15)
The Chair is the tallest fence at Aintree, standing at 5'3", although the tricky part is that the take-off side is 6 inches lower than the landing side, resulting in feeling like the ground is heading up to meet the horses.
Since the first ever Grand National in 1839 there have been three equine fatalities here. This fence is most infamous, however, for causing the only human casualty in the long history of the Grand National. In 1862 jockey Joseph Wynne was badly injured after falling at The Chair, dying just hours later.
Valentine's Brook (Fence 9 and 25)
Valentine's Brook was so named after an incident in the 1840 Grand National, where the runner Valentine is reputed to have managed to jump what was then called the Second Brook hind legs first.
With no video cameras it is impossible to prove this, but nevertheless the fence has been named for that horse ever since.
Canal Turn (Fence 8 and 24)
The Canal Turn is one of the trickiest fences on the course at Aintree due to the fact that horses and riders must make a 90 degree turn almost immediately upon landing.
There have been seven fatal falls at Canal Turn over the years and the fence is renowned as a game-changer, with many instances in which the expected outcome of the race has been dramatically altered.
Foinavon (Fence 7 and 23)
One of the smallest fences on the course at just 4'6", this fence was re-named Foinavon in 1984 in honour of the 100/1 outsider who won the Grand National in a shock result in 1967. A loose horse darted along the fence causing every single other horse to stop or fall: except Foinavon, that is, who was so far behind the pack he had time to readjust and jump first time, gaining a lead of thirty lengths that was enough to take him first over the finish line.
Becher's Brook (Fence 6 and 22)
This fence is notoriously difficult due to the vast difference in height on take-off and landing: the five-foot fence actually has a drop of between six and 10 inches lower.
It was named after the first ever Grand National in 1839, when jockey Captain Martin Becher came unseated and famously sheltered right in the brook for safety. Many amendments have been made to this fence over recent years after pressure from animal rights groups, with fourteen recorded equine fatalities in total.
The many fences at the Grand National are what make the race so challenging, and these five are some of the most well-known of all. Find out here our Grand National Tips for 2018 !
